Globetrotting couple celebrate more than six decades of marriage
A globetrotting couple have celebrated more than six decades of marriage.
Tuesday, 11th September 2018, 6:00 am
Bobby and Muriel Bruce have celebrated 64 years of marriage.
Bobby and Muriel Bruce, from Hebburn, marked their 64th wedding anniversary with a party at Willowdene Care Home.
The pair, who loved to travel and have friends around the world, were given flowers, gifts and cards to mark the impressive milestone on Tuesday, September 4.
On their special day the pair were able to enjoy entertainment provided by The Idea 500, a Blyth-based charity comprising of retired musicians who perform for free at care homes, fundraisers and charity events.
Their love story started with an afternoon tea, where Bobby first met Muriel who was invited to the event by a friend.
Afterwards Bobby walked Muriel home and the pair eventually became a couple.
They went on to marry at St Cuthbert's Church, in Hebburn, in September 1954. In their younger days, Bobby worked in a local shipyard and Muriel was a comptometer operator, which meant she calculated the wages for railroad companies.
Now aged 88, Muriel revealed their secret to a long and happy marriage.
She said: "The secret to a long marriage is being each other's best friend.
"We also both loved to travel and made friends all over the world."
The well-travelled pair said their favourite place to visit was South Africa.
Muriel said: "Both Bobby and I felt humbled when we visited Robben Island and saw Nelson Mandela's cell and the museum.
"Bobby especially enjoyed visiting the safari parks and seeing lions and elephants."
Bobby, 92, moved into Willowdene Care Home, on Victoria Road West, in July 2016, and the couple remain very much in love.
Muriel added: "I have been delighted with the care Bobby receives at Willowdene, as he always looks so happy.
"I'd like to thank the staff for putting on an anniversary celebration for us and for the cards and gifts.
"It was a lovely surprise."
Christine Chandler, activities coordinator at Willowdene, congratulated the pair on their anniversary, saying: "Muriel is one of our most regular visitors and you can see she and Bobby are still very much in love.
"Their 64 years of marriage is an amazing milestone and we wanted to help them celebrate by throwing a party.
"Everyone had a great time, especially the happy couple."

The Greek orator Cicero wrote, "Law stands mute in the midst of arms." British Director J. Lee Thompson's 1962 Cape Fear pushes that idea one step further: Law stands mute when confronted with its own overbearing shadow, and when that shadow is outlined with vengeance, all systems of jurisprudence are rendered impotent. The only force that can undermine the law is knowledge of the law itself, and when the latter neutralizes the former, the result, ironically, is chaos and violence.
In Cape Fear, Thompson, a former boxer and tailgunner in World War II, adroitly examines how the legal system's limitations and the inefficiency of the bureaucracy laws must slog through to prove effective are too often the catalyst for the uncivil behavior they are designed to prevent. Thompson and iconic figures Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum weave an intricate tale that reveals the haunting fallibility of America's legal system and the disturbing ramifications that unfold when individuals, fueled by their knowledge of the law, ultimately pursue justice through vigilantism.
Thompson was a hot directorial commodity in the early 60s mainly because his The Guns of Navarone was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. As one of the decade's best war films, Thompson's work on Navarone also solidified his relationship with Peck, who starred in the war drama and later purchased the rights to John D. MacDonald's novel "The Executioners." That novel eventually became Cape Fear, and following the trend of male motion picture stars such as Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster developing their own production studios, Peck followed suit and eventually helped produce Cape Fear.
Previously, Thompson worked as an editing assistant and dialogue coach for Alfred Hitchcock, and his experience with "The Master of Suspense" paid off in this disturbing thriller. Cape Fear indirectly pays homage to Hitchcock's Psycho, but it also detracts from Hitchcock's masterpiece significantly. The most notable similarity is Bernard Hermann's scores, which in both films punctuate the suspense with nails-on-chalk riffs. Another is Martin Balsam, who plays Detective Milton Arbogast in Psycho and Police Chief Mark Dutton in Cape Fear.
Mitchum is Max Cady, a recently released prisoner convicted eight years earlier on assault charges in Baltimore, Maryland in a trial that saw Peck, who plays a decent, honorable lawyer named Sam Bowden, testify against him. After studying the law and "human nature" in prison, Cady is released and immediately tracks down Bowden to seek retribution by terrorizing the entire Bowden family. The film devolves into a nasty cat-and-mouse game where both men fall prey to their most primal of instincts. Their endgame explodes in some frighteningly climactic scenes along the Cape Fear River.
Mitchum brilliantly depicts Cady's perverse, paradoxical nature. He is a predator that stalks his victims with stealth. He methodically spies on the Bowden family but is not paralyzed by voyeurism. He is a man of action who commits heinous acts upon the Bowden's dog, a female companion, and ultimately, the Bowdens themselves. Bubbling under Cady's diabolical calculations is a ravenous sexual appetite that seems ready to explode. He sexually harasses women and routinely undresses them with his eyes. His libido seems uncontrollable and fuels his animalistic behavior, which is animated by his cool walk, monosyllabic answers, and slouching, slithering figure. However, as we learn more about him, Cady also seems profoundly composed. He has thoroughly learned the law and uses it advantageously to seek revenge. Most astutely, he hires a cagey lawyer to represent him after Bowden aggressively investigates and harasses him. His hunt for the Bowdens is defined by strategy, and he clearly follows his plan. These are not the characteristics of a madman.
Although Telly Savalas (who does appear as a gumshoe working for Bowden) and Rod Steiger were originally considered for Cady's role, Mitchum was finally persuaded when Peck and Thompson purchased a case of bourbon for him. Apparently, alcohol was a staple on the set. Their bargaining paid off because the edgy Mitchum is perfectly cast. In fact, there is something appealing about his lack of pretension and irreverence toward society. He is the ultimate outsider who uses an "insider's" rules to fuel his insatiable ego.
Riding the coattails of his legendary performance in 1955's The Night of the Hunter, where he plays another demented soul, Mitchum brought his own legal problems to the role of Max Cady. During shooting, Mitchum was on probation for marijuana possession. Furthermore, Mitchum was once arrested in Savannah, Georgia for vagrancy, interestingly, since sections of the film were shot there. He served on a chain gang near the city. His knowledge of prison life and acumen for the despair convicts feel is potent.
Peck is equally effective in serving as Mitchum's converse. He is respected throughout his community as a fine lawyer, is happily married, and lives in a domestic paradise. He also revels in all the luxuries an upper middle-class American life offers including vacations, property, and most notably, connections within the legal system. Nevertheless, Peck is cast somewhat out of character since he becomes as ruthless as Mitchum. Peck, who usually played the stoic, handsome man of righteousness, uses that stereotype to offset the uncharacteristic animal he becomes as the film progresses. This is an excellent blend of casting and writing.
Fundamentally, Bowden has everything Cady lost while in prison including a wife and children. In fact, Cady and Bowden are perfect parallel characters, and their symmetry guides the narrative: Bowden is a lawyer who becomes a criminal; Cady is a criminal who becomes, metaphorically, a lawyer. Bowden lives in a beautiful Southern estate; Cady walks the streets and resides in cheap hotel rooms. Bowden seeks the help of many cronies; Cady commits his despicable acts alone. Bowden enjoys healthy relationships with his wife and daughter; Cady's relationships with women are fragmented and dysfunctional. The list goes on.
However, as their parallels emerge throughout the first three-quarters of the film, each character coalesces in the film's climax as the setting moves from the civilized confines of the city into the primal zones of the wilderness along the banks of the Cape Fear River. Here, essentially, Cady triumphs because Bowden is forced, if he hopes to stop this monster, to play Cady's game. While the Bowden family is protected in a houseboat from Cady, Bowden and his hired gun hover along the shoreline, like animals themselves, waiting for Cady to strike. The setting's dramatic shift works well metaphorically to illustrate how far Bowden has sunk (at one point, Cady holds him underwater to drown him - Peck later said he was underwater for too long in that scene and did almost drown). Not coincidentally, the setting also moves from day to night, and Thompson wisely uses a number of noir lighting techniques to highlight the impending menace. The undulating waves cast in splashes of light are particularly effective.
Here, the film's most potent themes erupt: the criminal uses the law for the right reasons, which include a primordial urge to regain the opportunity to lead a prosperous, normal, middle class life. As the quintessential antihero, Mitchum does spark at least some of our sympathies. However, Bowden, the lawyer, uses the law for the wrong reasons. He overreacts and violates an individual's personal space to fulfill baseless suspicions without evidence. He also uses his wealth, earned in the legal profession, to bribe Cady, who mocks Bowden's money with arrogance. However, in the end, the law is absolutely pointless. As a staunch representative of the law, even Bowden realizes the law does not always serve justice. Simple stated, the law doesn't always work for the people.
Friedrich Nietzsche once wrote, "Beware that when fighting monsters you yourself do not become a monster." Cape Fear is a visual testament to that powerful statement. In the early 60s, a decade after McCarthyism and in the midst of the Cold War's hottest years, that notion was on the tongue of many Americans. While they knew a powerful enemy had to be confronted and defeated, many Americans were becoming increasingly more aware of how that enemy was to be defeated.
Cape Fear was also instrumental in burying the remaining vestiges of the Production Code. In fact, the film mocked some of that code's most cherished principles. Many suggestions were offered to remove a number of the sexual innuendos that infiltrate the film, including footage of Mitchum's naked chest; his comment that "Nancy (Bowden's daughter) is getting to be almost as juicy as your wife"; Cady's line "I kept her busy for three days"; and a scene where Cady deliberately knees a man in his genitalia. For a 1962 audience, and emerging in the shadows of such code-breakers as Psycho and Some Like it Hot, Cape Fear still shocked many.
Martin Scorcese's faithful 1991 remake does a great service to the original. It faithfully captures all of its resonant themes while still offering a unique interpretation of the original story. Fortunately, Mitchum and Peck both make cameos in the remake, and both earned plenty of money from its popularity. They deserve such rewards. As two of America's greatest actors, they offer horror fans a unique, unpredictable thriller that is sure to engage many.

Martin Scorsese takes his first whack at the horror/thriller genre with a remake of the 1962 classic of the same title. While I can not truthfully say the original was better due to the fact that I never saw the original, I have a feeling that Scorsese has brought his maestro touch to the film that changes it slightly from the original to make it better, because this is quite the suspenser.
The original is way better.

Amazon Prime UK 'bans' The Prince for 'offensive content', complains distributor
"We have been trying to overturn their decision without avail" says a rep for the film.
Words: Jamie Tabberer; picture: Pecadillo Pictures
Chilean gay prison drama The Prince has been effectively banned from Amazon Prime UK for 'offensive content', according to reports.
The 2019 erotic drama, starring Luca Balmaceda and directed by Sebastián Muñoz, follows a young prisoner who forges a relationship with his much older cellmate in 70s Santiago. It contains sexual and violent scenes.
Movies uploaded to Amazon for streaming are subject to the website's Content Policy Guidelines, which contain rules about 'sexually explicit content'.
"It certainly contains nothing that hasn't been seen before in a prison drama"
The film is distributed in the UK by Peccadillo Pictures. Speaking to Deadline, Peccadillo MD Tom Abell said: "We are obviously very concerned and perplexed by Amazon's ruling.
"We have been trying to overturn their decision without avail and cannot understand why, when we have overwhelming support from all other platforms, they have taken this stance."
The Prince is still available to stream on platforms such as BFI Player – while the DVD version is available to purchase from Amazon UK.
Abell added: "We cannot deny that The Prince has some explosive and bold scenes but this is what makes it stand out and is such an enjoyable and admired film.
"It certainly contains nothing that hasn't been seen before in a prison drama and pales in comparison to scenes in many of Amazon's own productions. We are [at] something of a loss to explain the situation."
Abell told the publication that a request to Amazon Prime UK for further explanation was met with a link to Amazon's Offensive Content guidelines.
The guidelines state: "All content submitted for publication consideration or published to Prime Video (including video assets, cover images, and metadata) must adhere to the following content policy guidelines, which may change over time. Failure to comply with these guidelines will result in removal of your content."
On "sexually explicit content", such material includes: "Content containing depictions of pornography or explicit depictions of sexual acts or nudity. Content that glorifies illegal sexual acts. Content primarily intended to sexually stimulate."

1. In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.
3 And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done [that which is] good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
11 I said, I shall not see the LORD, [even] the LORD, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.
12 Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day [even] to night wilt thou make an end of me.
13 I reckoned till morning, [that], as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day [even] to night wilt thou make an end of me.
14 Like a crane [or] a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail [with looking] upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.
15 What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done [it]: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.
16 O Lord, by these [things men] live, and in all these [things is] the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.
17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul [delivered it] from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
18 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can [not] celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
19 The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I [do] this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
20 The LORD [was ready] to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.
21 For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay [it] for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover.
22 Hezekiah also had said, What [is] the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?

Temple Mall's JC Penney Store Scheduled to Close in Spring of 2021
Aaron Savage
Aaron Savage Published: December 17, 2020
Bad news for shoppers in Temple.
JC Penney has announced that as many as 200 of its stores will be closing as part of the company's "Store optimization strategy". The list of stores being shuttered includes the JC Penney location in the Temple Mall.
The Temple's Daily Telegram's Eric E. Garcia and Jacob Sanchez shared the news Thursday, along with a history lesson. JC Penney, they report, opened its first Temple location on April 7, 1917 at 20 S. Main St.
The JC Penney in Killeen's mall will remain open, but that's probably not much consolation to people in Temple who still like the experience of in-store shopping.
It's no secret that malls have been struggling for a while, and the Temple Mall's been no exception. When I was a kid, the place was always packed, and there wasn't a single empty space. It was like an entirely different world in there.
Even in my teens (early 2000's, to date myself), the mall was still the place to be on a Friday or Saturday night, enhanced by the addition of the then-new Premiere Cinema theater. On a typical Friday or Saturday night, my friends and I would thumb through comics at Walden's Books (later Border's), then head over to the CD store (the name of which always seemed to change) to sample music on the in-store headphones.
Man, I feel old.
Anyway, the mall still sports an IMAX theater, along with some great locally-owned businesses. I still say Peggy's Coffee House in the Temple Mall serves the best damned coffee in town.
It's just weird to think of the Temple Mall without JC Penney. It's just always been there. Then again, Macy's was there for so long as well, and we all saw that store close as well. It's now home to Dillard's, which moved there from the opposite side of the mall.
Liquidation sales at JC Penney locations that are closing are expected to begin later this month, and you'll still be able to shop at jcpenney.com, but it's just not the same.
Hey, maybe something positive will come of this and more local businesses will move in. It would be cool to see the mall become a community hub again, but unless a major wave of 80's and 90's nostalgia sweeps the nation again, it's doubtful America's malls will ever be what they once were. Maybe they could be something different with more local flare.
Time will tell, I suppose.

8 Final Thoughts
Never Do Love Spells on a a Specific Person And Here's The Reasons Why
We all have many dreams and wishes in life. Success, prosperity, good health, and perhaps the most coveted of them all, love. Everybody yearns to be loved. There's no happier feeling than knowing that there are people who support you and care for you through tough times.
But sometimes, we don't always get the love and attention we desire from others. Even if we shower them with affection, we still do not receive the reaction we want. No matter what methods we try, it seems as if nothing is working in our favor. And so some of us would turn to the Higher Power to ask for a divine miracle.
In cases like these, it's very tempting to cast a love spell. Many of us tend to think that all we need is a little cosmic push. A little help from the Universe should align everything in its place, and everything will magically work out in the end.
Unfortunately, spell casting for love doesn't always have a happy ending. There may even be some serious consequences if you don't take extra precautions. If you're seeking for love spells that work, perhaps it's a better idea to understand how it works before going through with it.

What Is A Love Spell?
It is a common disbelief that spell casting involves voodoo and black magic. Some may even consider it to be taboo. But actually, love spells aren't done through black magic alone – there are unharmful white spells too! It all depends on the spell caster and their intentions.
In a nutshell, a love spell is meant to attract a specific person the caster desires. They come in different types as well, depending on the spell caster's intentions. There are spells for attraction, better communication, and passionate sex. There's also a spell that binds two people together forever. Can you Imagine being stuck to someone you despise for all eternity?
How To Cast A Love Spell
The most common method to cast a love spell is through chanting (Check out: 5 Most Powerful Love Spells Chants that Works in Minutes ). In most cases, there may also be a special ritual that takes place. The simplest love spell method is to meditate and to recite a short poem. The poem should contain powerful words that will call your desired partner. When done right, you may be able to get the results you want.
Some spell casting rituals may also involve object worship. The spell caster would first need to obtain an item which belonged to their desired partner. They would then hold on to the said item during meditation, or poem recitation. Some spell casters may even create a love altar where they display photos and other related objects.
Do Love Spells Work?
The answer is yes and no. The effectiveness of a love spell all depends on how skilled the spell caster is. A powerful spell caster may even choose to manipulate someone's thoughts if they wish. But when a spell caster violates a person's will with the use of a love spell, there will be inevitable consequences.
Many people think that a love spell only affects the person other than the spell caster. But that is not true at all. Love spells may affect both parties, or it may also boomerang back to the spell caster. And in most cases, love spells that backfire are a lot more harmful.
Yes, love spells work. But sadly, they also backfire so you still might not be able to get the results you want. To protect yourself from possible harm, you must learn from the mistakes of others. Below is a list of the most common mistakes love spell casters make. Be sure to take down some notes for future reference!
Common Mistakes People Make When Casting Love Spells
There are numerous reasons why a love spell turned out to be unsuccessful. Some people may blame their inadequacy to cast spells. But more often than not, the actual causes are out of one's control. Here are some of the possible scenarios as to why your love spell did not work:
Their Expectations Are Too Unrealistic
Are you trying to attract a celebrity? Or perhaps someone in school who doesn't even know you exist? No matter how powerful of a spell caster you are, no love spell can help you if you don't help yourself first. If your desired partner has no way of connecting with you, your chance for success automatically becomes very slim
First of all, you need to build a strong connection with your desired partner. The love spell needs to work with some material for it to do its magic. Without getting in contact with the other person first, the love spell can't create a spark between the two of you.
Also, keep in mind that love spells do not happen overnight. It takes time to build a meaningful and lasting relationship. Rushing into things will not work in your favor. Allow the love spell to do its magic on them naturally. The right time will come, and you will be grateful that you've waited.
They Doubt The Love Spell
It's understandable to feel a hint of doubt when dealing with love spells. After all, it's not easy to accept things that we do not fully understand. And as much as possible, we want to always be in the know, and in control of certain things. Leaving it to the Divine Powers is difficult, but you need to trust in it first to make it happen.
Love spells don't just happen out of thin air – it's not magic as some might think it is. It requires your faith and your trust for it to work. And if you are always in doubt, those negative feelings decrease the possibilities for success.
They Do Not Have Accurate Information
The first rule of thumb in casting a love spell is to do your research. Sure, the circumstances may be different for everyone. You might not have their full names or their contact details. But it is your job to get into contact and know the person better anyway.
Perhaps your desired partner is a guy you met at a bar, and you only know their first names. Or maybe she was a friend of a friend who you met at a party. You can't expect the love spell to have all the answers. Try using Google or Facebook sometimes.
A love spell needs details to succeed. The more information you can gather, the better. Unfortunately, it's not enough to have a photo or a mental image of the person. You need to go beyond their first and last names. Find out what they love to do during their free time, what their dreams and goals in life are.
If you met someone by chance and are afraid of never meeting them again, don't worry. If they are the right person for you, the Universe will help them find their way to you. There would be no need for a love spell.
They Are Harassing Their Desired Partner
Just because you've cast a love spell on your desired partner, it doesn't mean that they will automatically like you. A love spell enhances your charm and puts you in a favorable light. By casting a love spell, you are creating an environment where you and your desired mate can connect. Everything should fall into place naturally from then.
When things are finally moving according to plan, the worst thing you can do is to create tension. Give your desired partner some space. Do not threaten them or blackmail them. In short, don't force them into doing something they do not like.
Unless you are utilizing black magic to get the results you want, it is best not to use force. Instead, give them more reasons to like you. With the help of the love spell, it shouldn't be so difficult for them to see how awesome you are.
They Take Shortcuts
Casting a love spell may seem simple and easy to do. How hard could it be, right? All you need to do is to meditate and recite a poem. But you'll be surprised to know that it isn't easy at all.
Spell casting entails dedication and hard work. The Universe can tell if you've been lazy with your meditation. Your lack of focus and discipline could be a sign of your insincerity. Perhaps you do not want this person in your life as much as you thought.
If you are serious about the other person, the least you could do is to show it through the love spell. Don't take shortcuts. It takes time for the love spell to work. In the meantime, you need to stay faithful to your intentions.
They Still Have Loose Ends To Tie Up
Is the person you are trying to attract an ex? Take some time to review your history of being together. If the relationship had previously ended with a bitter note, it's time to address those issues. You must deal with whatever negativity you have in between the both of you.
It's difficult to begin any relationship if you are still holding on to your past. Even if the love spell succeeds, your relationship may not last very long. History will repeat itself, and you will soon break up because of the same reasons before.
Love Spells Do Not Have Guarantees
We can't get everything we want by simply expressing our desires to the Universe. The Divine Power wants what's best for us. It wants us to live the best life possible.
But most of the time, we do not know what is best for us. We request for things that get in the way of the Greater Plan. With that said, love spells do not have guarantees. Making a wish does not mean it will automatically come true. If our requests deviate from the plan the Universe has for us, it is not likely to happen.

Trust that the Universe has a better plan for you and that your perfect match is out there waiting for you to meet them too. Instead of using a love spell on anyone, why not use it to attract your soulmate? That way you know you are calling on the right person for you.
They've Been Scammed By A Con Artist
It's unfortunate how many fake psychics and spell casters there are online. These con artists will do anything to get your money. They will try to convince you of their powers through fake testimonials and ads. They will tell you that they can cast a love spell on anyone.
However, plenty of these so-called spell casters don't have any experiences. If you've used such services before and the spell didn't work, you can be sure that it was a scam.
The best way to cast a love spell is to do it on your own. If you need assistance, look for a certified professional. Check their credentials and ask their previous clients about their experiences. You might also want to read some books on spell casting and other related topics.
What Happens When A Love Spell Backfires?
Love spells are supposed to be helpful in finding the love of our lives. But when used with bad intentions, there are high prices to pay. To keep safe from harm, remember to use a love spell only for the right reasons. Below are some possible scenarios when a love spell backfires:
Unless a protection spell is used, no one is truly safe from a love spell – not even the spell casters. Not only do love spells backfire, but they can also boomerang back to the caster. When this happens, both the spell caster and their desired partner are under the love spell. Both parties fall helplessly in love with each other and begin to form a codependent relationship.
Becoming too dependent on your partner is never healthy. You become overly obsessed with your partner. Being apart from one another is unthinkable because you rely on them for everything. Bring together a couple who are both incapable of being independent, and you have the exact formula for a toxic relationship.
An individual who is under the influence of a love spell do not show their genuine feelings. Although your desired partner may never know about the spell you cast, their true nature will eventually unfold before you. You will always feel like you've forced them into the relationship against their will.
The love and affection they've showered you in the past aren't from the soul. They were under the influence of the love spell. As time passes, the love spell weakens. They may start to feel resentful towards you, and they may begin to think of you as a chore. After all, it wasn't their will to be in a relationship with you; a spell forced them into it.
Falling Out Of Love
One of the worst things that can happen is when you realize that you were never in love with them in the first place. Because you did not take some time to get to know them, their weaknesses and shortcomings were unknown to you. You just assumed that they were the perfect match and you wanted them in your life as soon as possible.
What happens when you realize that they aren't the person you thought they would be? Or worse, what happens when you got tired of them sooner than you thought? Not only did you rob someone else of their happiness, but you've also wasted your time and effort.
It's difficult to undo a spell, and you can't turn back time to fix it. But even so, you still need to take responsibility for the mess you made.
The best, and yet equally painful scenario is resistance. Your desired partner may not react positively to the love spell. But because of the love spell's constant pull, they are unable to move on from you. Just like the binding spell, they continue to suffer in your presence. And they are unable to cut ties from you completely.
Both of you silently yearn from each other, but for some reason, you won't be able to take it to the next step. Compared to the other consequences in this list, resistance to the love spell takes up a lot of your time and energy.
Most people may not even recover after a few years. If you know someone who can't move on from an almost-lover, chances are they are going through this experience as we speak.
What To Do When A Love Spell Backfires
Are you experiencing any of the scenarios above? Don't panic. Although you cannot undo the spell, there are a couple of ways to prevent the situation from getting worse. Here are a few suggestions on what to do when a love spell backfires:
Stop Spell Casting Completely
Discontinue rituals and the meditations you've been doing to grab their attention. If you feel that the situation has gone out of hand, the first thing you should do is to stop spell casting.
It may be tempting to cast a love spell again, especially when the situation has gone from bad to worse. You've done it before, so why can't you return to the good old days? There must be a way to make the both of you happy in love again, right? Sadly, it doesn't work that way.
The best thing you can do from now is to stop everything completely. Allow yourself and your partner to heal.
Use Another Spell to Counteract The Love Spell
There are plenty of ways to cast a love spell, so there must be various ways to counteract it as well. Find out how to oppose the love spell and choose one that is most accessible to you. Whether it's a chant or a ritual, make sure to act as fast as you can.
It may be tempting to stall, especially if you are experiencing a broken heart. Trust that the situation will become better only if you allow yourself to continue with the counteracting spell.
The Right Way To Cast A Love Spell
Despite all the consequences you've read above, you must not lose hope. We all yearn to find our special someone. It's only natural that you feel this way. But aren't love spells dangerous? Not entirely. Some people say that love spells have helped them find the love of their life, and it could work out for you as well.
If you are still interested in casting a love spell despite and you are willing to take the risk, you must learn how to do it the right way. Below are some tips on love spellcasting to help you out. Before you cast your first love spell, make sure to read the tips below thoroughly.
Seek For What's Right
Your intentions must be good. If you are trying to steal someone away from a committed relationship, you won't get the results you want. If you are trying to force someone to change themselves, the Universe will not be on your side. You must come from a place of happiness and contentment in order to succeed.
Do Not Use Love Spells To Force Someone
By now you should know that love spells should not be used to force someone against their will. See if you can build a connection with your desired partner first. Get to know who they are and spend some time with them without the help of a love spell.
Forcing someone into a relationship, whether through the use of a love spell or not, is wrong. If you are looking for true love, allow your partner to form those feelings naturally. Only then will you be able to get a genuine response from them.
Find Out What What Attracts You
Ask yourself why you find certain people attractive. Is it their good looks, their sense of humor, or their genuine kindness? Instead of focusing on one person, create a list of character traits that make up your Perfect Partner.
Ask the Universe for a chance to meet the perfect one for you. Not only do you save time from meeting people other than your soulmate, but you also have the approval of the Universe.
What matters most is taking the initiative to find your true love. Nothing will work unless you take the first step. A love spell should only be used as a helping hand, not as an end-all solution.

Korach 5775
by Rabbi Nachman Kahana | Jun 17, 2015
BS"D Parashat Korach 5775
Is this the Redemption? Is this the Mashiach?
At the present time we number over 6,250,000 Jews in Eretz Yisrael, more than at any time in Jewish history. We have returned from all parts of the globe, as testified to by our complexions – white, brown and dark. For many, our mother tongues are a cacophony of gentile languages, dialects and accents, yet we all speak the language of Avraham, Yitzchak, and Ya'akov; the language that HaShem Himself uses when communicating with His Tzadikim.
Millions of Jews, returning to our holy roots; toiling, struggling and succeeding remarkably in rebuilding the land and lives which were destroyed 2000 years ago by the Romans.
Is this the redemption we so long prayed for? Is this the Mashiach?
The prophet Hoshea (3,4-5) declared:
(ד) כי ימים רבים ישבו בני ישראל אין מלך ואין שר ואין זבח ואין מצבה ואין אפוד ותרפים:
(ה) אחר ישבו בני ישראל ובקשו את ה' אלהיהם ואת דוד מלכם ופחדו אל ה' ואל טובו באחרית הימים:
4) For the Jews will live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or memorials… Afterward, the Jews will return and seek the Lord their God and David their King. They will come trembling to the Lord and to His goodness in the last days.
Rashi quotes the Tana Rabbi Shimon ben Menasia who explains that this verse refers to the end of days after the long galut, when HaShem will present to the Jewish people signs of the forthcoming salvation; but only after the Jewish nation will request from Him three things as stated by the prophet: The Kingdom of Heaven (restoration of HaShem's presence within the nation), restoration of the Davidic dynasty and the Bet HaMikdash.
However, the reality of our lives has faced us with a problem with the teachings of Rabbi Shimon ben Menasia. It is obvious that HaShem has begun the salvation process by our return to Eretz Yisrael. However, we have not fulfilled the three prior requirements set down by Rabbi Shimon: that we request HaShem's presence in our personal and national lives; the restoration of the Davidic dynasty and the Bet HaMikdash.
The solution to this anomaly can be understood from parshat Korach.
Korach opposed Aharon's appointment as Kohen Gadol for justifiable reasons, as cited by the various commentators.
At the end of the day, Moshe was unable to refute Korach's claims, and as a last resort declared the absolute incontestable claim that it was the will of the Almighty that Aharon be the Kohen Gadol. Couldn't Moshe have thought of a less dogmatic and more empiric claim to contest Korach?
Moshe Rabbeinu established the rules by which the controversy would be resolved. Each individual would bring a Ketoret sacrifice and HaShem would accept the sacrifice of the one who would serve as the Kohen Gadol. Why just the Ketoret?
I submit… Indelible covenant of blood.
Moshe was in fact rejecting all the arguments put forward by Korach; but because of the sensitivity of the issue he was elusive and subtle. By determining the outcome of the conflict by the ketoret sacrifice, Moshe was saying to Korach and his group that Aharon was chosen by HaShem to be the Kohen Gadol, but for reasons we cannot know HaShem exacted from Aharon and his family a heavy price – the death of his two sons Nadav and Avihu when they brought the ketoret sacrifice to the Mishkan.
Moshe was informing the rebels that they sacrificed nothing for the kehuna, whereas Aharon paid the price in silence while hiding his great pain to exhibit the kohanic quality that the service of HaShem is above our human feelings and emotions.
And that quality, you, Korach, do not have.
To return to the question that HaShem has begun the salvation process by our return to Eretz Yisrael, but we have not fulfilled the three cardinal requirements set down by R. Shimon ben Menasia that we must display our desire for HaShem's presence in our lives; the restoration of the Davidic dynasty and the Bet HaMikdash?
The answer is that just like the self-sacrifice and pain of Aharon, whose two sons died for the kehuna, obviated all the logical claims of Korach, so too has the pain and self-sacrifice of our generation for the sake of Jewish continuity and Eretz Yisrael obviated the conditions for salvation as established by Rabbi Shimon.
From the episode of Korach, we learn that ultimate covenants are created by ultimate acts of sacrifice.
This we see from the earliest revelation of HaShem to Avraham (Bereishiet 17,8-11)
(ח) ונתתי לך ולזרעך אחריך את ארץ מגריך את כל ארץ כנען לאחזת עולם והייתי להם לאלהים:
(ט) ויאמר אלהים אל אברהם ואתה את בריתי תשמר אתה וזרעך אחריך לדרתם:
(י) זאת בריתי אשר תשמרו ביני וביניכם ובין זרעך אחריך המול לכם כל זכר:
(יא) ונמלתם את בשר ערלתכם והיה לאות ברית ביני וביניכם:
8, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you The whole land of Canaan; and I will be their God."
9 Then God said to Abraham, "As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come. 10 This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised. 11 You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you.
Jewish survival and our everlasting bond with Eretz Yisrael began in blood, when the Land was given to Avraham and his children in the merit of brit mila. And to this very day, we have had to battle for our possession of the land.
This is the way the Almighty has chosen to test those who are prepared to pay the price for being His chosen people, as apart from those who wish to be "sons" but not 'builders".
US Military Build Up
The Pentagon is poised to store battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and other heavy weapons for 5,000 American troops in several Baltic and Eastern European countries. This has given rise to concern about Russia's reaction to a buildup of this sort.
If approved, it would represent the first time since the end of the Cold War that the US has stationed heavy military equipment in the newer NATO member nations in Eastern Europe that had once been part of the Soviet sphere of influence.
The amount of equipment included in the planning is small compared with what Russia could bring to bear against the NATO nations on or near its borders, but it would serve as a credible sign of American commitment, acting as a deterrent the way that the Berlin Brigade did after the Berlin Wall crisis in 1961.
I have written in the past, more than once, that the US will by necessity reintroduce the military draft.
The following is an excerpt from "With All Your Might" to illustrate the point that when it comes, you and your children can forget about coming to Eretz Yisrael.
"The phone rang in the nearly empty, topsy-turvy home of the Levines as they prepared for their aliya to Eretz Yisrael.
Mrs. Beth Levine nervously let the wrapping cord fall from her hand as she ran to answer the phone. Too late. The light on the phone's base signaled that there was a recorded message.
She pushed the "play" button and a familiar voice spoke: "Hello, this is Miri from Nefesh B'Nefesh. I have two messages for you; a happy one and another, a bit disappointing. The movers will be coming to your home tomorrow morning, Monday, at exactly 7:00 AM, so please be ready. And the not so happy news… I know how much you wanted the three ABC seats by the window, because of your names Al, Beth and Carol, plus the adjoining D seat of the middle section for David, on this Thursday's flight. But because you are a family of four you were assigned the four DEFG seats in the middle section. In any event, the thrill of going on aliya will certainly overshadow such minor irritations. Aliya tova!"
Miri was so right, Mrs. Levine thought to herself. The thrill of a dream-come-true leaves no room for such mundane issues as seating on a plane; although it would have been nice to see the coastline of Israel drawing closer as the "wings of eagles" brought them home.
Al and Beth Levine had decided to come on aliya five years ago, when Carol was ten and David had his bar-mitzva. However, it took five years for Al to find a suitable replacement in his law firm; in addition, selling the house for the right price was a protracted process. But thank God, the local shul bought it to serve as the community home for whichever rabbi would be serving at the time.
In the interim, the Levines kept up with current events in Israel, as well as developments in the Middle East, and kept their dream alive.
Tensions were high. Iran, patron of the murderous Hezbollah and Hamas gangs, continued to develop a nuclear capacity. The United Nations Security Council passed a limited economic boycott resolution against Iran, and in an angry knee-jerk response, the Iranians decreased their sale of oil, causing the world price to jump to $100 a barrel! As if this was not bad enough, Venezuela's leftist president signed a ten-year agreement to sell its oil exclusively to China, which brought the price of gas at the pump to $7 a gallon, with no sign that this would be the final price.
But none of this could detract from their decision to come on aliya.
David is to begin Bar Ilan University right after the holidays and Carol is registered in the Ulpan in Kiryat Arba. David was the crisis person in the decision. Youngsters of his age in Israel are drafted into the IDF, but David was promised that he would be permitted to finish his BA uninterrupted by army service.
With this issue behind them, there was really nothing to prevent the Levines from taking the step of a lifetime.
The one annoying factor in their aliya was the attitude of some relatives and friends, who, perhaps for reasons of jealousy or personal weakness, were very critical of their plans. "What's the rush? Wait until the children finish school. You're now at your peak earning power. Is this the time to leave?"
On the other hand, the Rabbi was wonderful. On Shabbat, he spoke from the pulpit on the mitzva of living in Eretz Yisrael. He praised the Levines, saying how they would be missed in the many areas of their community involvement. Al for giving up his Sundays in order to coach the shul's little league team; Beth for being the Shabbat kiddish coordinator; Carol for helping her mother with the kiddishes and David for managing the shul's teen activities.
But, of course, the Rabbi was careful to point out that the mitzva of living in Eretz Yisrael was in the category of a four-cornered garment, which although not mandatory to wear, if one should do so he would be required to attach to it tzitzit and merit a mitzva. So too, one is not required to "go up to the land" until the Mashiach comes, but if one should do so he merits a great mitzva.
To their skeptical friends and relatives, Al would respond that there have been so many warnings of late that the time has come to go home. So if not now, — when?
The tensions in various areas of the world forced Congress to upgrade the military.
The following day, on Monday, true to Miri's message, the movers arrived at 7:00 AM sharp to take all the worldly possessions of the Levine family to the packing company, and from there to Israel.
Packing was an unforgettable experience.
Beth Levine stood wondering how they "succeeded" in 20 years of marriage to accumulate so much "stuff". They began in the attic, which served as a nostalgic trip into the past. Many memories were evoked as they rummaged through their possessions. The less-than-modest wedding gown which Mrs. Levine did not want her Carol to see. A 78 RPM record player, Al's catcher's mitt, which he could not part with. Old photographs from the Pineview and Pioneer Hotels and summer camps. How these experiences have sweetened with time.
But life goes on. And with a mental scissors, they will be severed in the light of the new life in the Promised Land.
Eventually, much was given away, more was thrown out, and the necessary articles were now packed in cartons to be shipped off.
In the packing process, the Levines concluded that Moshe Rabbeinu was so right in ordering the Jews to leave with only a few matzot, because if they would have been permitted to bring their possessions we would still be in Mitzrayim.
Ten in the morning and the movers had finished about half the work. A Western Union messenger suddenly arrived with a telegram for Mr. David Levine.
Al signed for it, opened the envelope and read aloud.
"Greetings. You are hereby informed that The President of the United States of America and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, and Congress in emergency session, have passed the Selective Service Act of 2013, to be enforced immediately. You are hereby ordered to report on May 14, 2013 to the Induction Center at 1948 Independence Ave. for induction into the armed services for a period of not less than three years. You will be sent to Paris Island, Georgia, to commence basic training as a proud United States Marine. Your passport will be on hold until the completion of your military service. Good luck and God's speed to you in the service of your country."
Al handed the telegram to Beth as the phone suddenly rang. He got there too late to answer, but the light on the phone's base signaled that there was a recorded message.
Al pushed the "play" button and a familiar voice sounded.
"Hello, this is Miri again from Nefesh B'Nefesh. Good news. Due to several unexpected last minute cancellations we have been able to get for you the three ABC seats near the window and the D in the middle. Derech Tze'lei'cha.""
It will happen sooner than we think.

SETTRADE Launches All-Inclusive Investment Portal Site
FT Trading Room
Elsevier and Mondo Visione
SETTRADE launches an all-inclusive investment portal website containing information and research studies from fifteen brokerage houses, IPO subscription services, an online stock trading system, plus the Mobile Alert service. Grand opening will be at "SET in the City" on July 12-14. 40,000 registered members by the end of 2002 is the target.
Mr. Somkid Jiranuntarat, CEO of SETTRADE.COM Co., Ltd. announced that the Investment Portal, an Internet portal for the investing community, would officially be launched at the "SET in the City" Investment Expo that the SET will hold in cooperation with Money & Banking Magazine at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center from July 12-14.
This investment portal site is based on a revamp of SETTRADE.COM that has turned the site into a center for investment news and information, stock analyses from the leading brokerage houses, web board and inquiry service for the investor. There will also be marketing representatives from securities companies, veteran investors, and analysts from brokerage houses to answer questions and offer suggestions.
Investment columns written by investment experts such as Dr. Niwes Hemvachiravarakorn and Dr. Somjin Sornpaisarn are slated, plus a "Stock Focus" column, as well as the webcasting of securities analysts through broadband transmission.
Furthermore, the information disclosure form (56-1) that listed companies must submit to the Office of the SEC, reporting their company information, financial statements, directors, and other related information would be available on this Portal as well.
"This website will be open for public access to help the public learn for free more about investment, starting from basic information to more complicated issues, like analytical tools for savvy investors. The registered members can view real-time stock quotations and set up an alert for when the stocks in their portfolio reach a pre-determined price level, plus there will be a tool to help them check the price ratios and their unrealized gains or losses. The system provided in this website will be customized to serve each group of investors."
In addition to the stock quotations, SETTRADE also provides tools for technical analysis, IPO subscription and e-payment systems. At "SET in the City", there will be a demonstration of the share subscription system - but using movie tickets instead of shares. Investors are therefore able to gain experience of the share subscription system.
"An online IPO subscription service is an important strategy for expanding the investor base, as successful IPO share subscribers are potential investors once they become a shareholder in the stock market."
Moreover, investors can open their Internet trading accounts with SETTRADE's allied group of brokers, subscribe to either or both the Email Alert and Mobile Alert services, which will allow them to set price levels of the stocks and receive a notification whenever the price reaches that level. A SMS will be sent to their mobile phones charged at three baht per message by AIS, which will be shown in their telephone bills.
"In the near future we will expand our services to provide a investment simulation as well, so that investors can trade stocks on the simulated system before opening real trading accounts and trading real stocks. This service will be demonstrated first at "SET in the City"."
Interested persons can now register at SETTRADE.COM. SETTRADE expects the number of registrations to increase from 20,000 to 40,000 people this year.
Some parts of the information on the website, however, will still be available to non-members.
The technology adopted by SETTRADE is of world standard and can accommodate extensive use, while at the same time, being highly secure and fast.
In the future SETTRADE plans to collaborate with listed companies to make the information more in-depth so as to help investors understand more about the nature of the business and strategies of different companies.


Do you sell hydroponics systems?
I'm doing a ISU project for my grade 12 biology class on hydroponics. I've made a small hydroponics system and am growing peas. My project is on the effects of certain chemicals on the pea plants. I have 5 hydroponics systems which the peas are being grown in merical gro. In each container there is a different chemical (0.5 molar solution) along with the merical gro they are, potassium phosphate, calcium carbonate, sodium sulfate, potassium carbonate, and potassium nitrate. I was wondering if you had any tips or useful information. I would greatly appreciate it. Also in the container of sodium sulfate tiny black dots that are in a web have appeared on one of the pea seeds, just wondering if you had any idea of what they could possibly be.
Hello.. I have been gardening in organo-hydroponics solutions for about one year now, with varied success. Once I learned the correct quantities of organic substances to put in, I was getting comparable results to the general purpose solution. I beleive that the one problem with the organo-hydroponics systems is that the nutrients are not in plant soluble form. Anyhow, I was reading in a book somewhere that carbonic acid (basically CO2 dissolved in water) takes undissolved nutrients from the humus (or other organic matter), and makes them plant soluble. I'm doing some experiments at the moment, but I beleive it is important to let the carbonic acid sit for about 12 hours to let the CO2 dissipate after putting your nutrients in, as carbonic acid is slightly alkaline. Has anybody had any experience with this??
Kind of hydroponics systems has nothing to do with growing KAB. What ever kind you buy or build you should try keeping tomatoes plants alive before you waste a lot of money on KAB.
What kind of hydroponics would i get to grow cannabis . I need to know where to start. I didn't realize there were so many different systems.

Estuvo protagonizada por Charlton Heston, Sofía Loren, Raf Vallone, Geneviève Page, Herbert Lom, John Fraser, Gary Raymond y Tullio Carminati. El guion se atribuye a Fredric M. Frank, Philip Yordan y Ben Barzman, con contribuciones no acreditadas de Bernard Gordon .

Trata de la vida del guerrero castellano Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, el Cid (del árabe as-sidi , que significa 'el señor').

El Cid se estrenó el 6 de diciembre de 1961 en el Teatro Metropole de Londres y se estrenó el 14 de diciembre en Estados Unidos. La película recibió críticas en gran medida positivas que elogiaron las actuaciones de Heston y Loren, la cinematografía y la partitura musical. Continuó recaudando 26,6 millones de dólares durante su presentación inicial en cines. Fue nominada a tres premios Óscar: a la mejor dirección artística, mejor banda sonora de una película dramática o de comedia, y mejor canción original.

Trama
El general Ben Yusuf, perteneciente a la dinastía almorávide, convoca a los emires de Al-Ándalus en el norte de África. Estos son reprendidos por coexistir pacíficamente con sus vecinos cristianos, lo que va en contra de su sueño de dominación mundial islámica. Los emires regresan a Al-Ándalus con órdenes de reanudar las hostilidades con los cristianos, mientras Ben Yusuf prepara su ejército para una invasión a gran escala.

Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, camino de su boda con doña Jimena, rescata un pueblo castellano del ataque de un ejército moro. Dos de los emires que han participado en el asalto, Almutamin de Zaragoza y Al-Kadir de Valencia, son capturados. Más interesado en la paz que en la venganza, Rodrigo escolta a sus prisioneros hasta Vivar y los libera con la condición de que nunca más ataquen las tierras del rey Fernando de Castilla.

Por su acto de misericordia, don Rodrigo es acusado de traición por el conde Ordóñez, siendo apoyado por el conde Gormaz, padre de Jimena y campeón del rey. El anciano padre de Rodrigo, don Diego, llama mentiroso a Gormaz y este le golpea con un guante, desafiándole a un duelo. En una reunión privada, Rodrigo le ruega a Gormaz que le pida perdón al anciano, pero Gormaz se niega, por lo que Rodrigo se enfrenta a este y acaba asesinándolo. Jimena, que es testigo de la muerte de su padre, jura vengarlo y renuncia al amor que sentía por su prometido. Aprovechando la muerte del conde Gormaz, el rey Ramiro de Aragón reclama la ciudad de Calahorra y exige un combate singular. Rodrigo, que pretende restituir su honor a ojos del rey, se presta voluntario para participar en el combate, derrotando al oponente aragonés, Martín González.

Convertido en campeón del rey, el Cid es enviado a Al-Ándalus para recaudar tributos a los moros, pidiendo que le entreguen a doña Jimena como esposa a su regreso, para cuidarla en compensación por el asesinato de su padre. Doña Jimena promete al conde Ordóñez, quien acompaña al Cid en la expedición, que se casará con él si mata a Rodrigo. Ordóñez, con ayuda de Al-Kadir de Valencia, le tiende una emboscada a Rodrigo y sus hombres, pero Almutamin de Zaragoza acude en su auxilio y hace huir a los atacantes. Descubierto el engaño, Rodrigo perdona al conde Ordóñez y regresa a casa para casarse con doña Jimena, pero el matrimonio no se consuma, pues Jimena se niega.

Al fallecer el rey Fernando, sus hijos Sancho y Alfonso se pelean por la sucesión, ya que el primero desea ser rey único y el segundo recuerda que su padre dividió el reino entre sus herederos, dándole Castilla a Sancho; Asturias y León a Alfonso; y Calahorra a la princesa Urraca. Es Sancho quien sale victorioso en el combate singular, enviando a su hermano Alfonso a las mazmorras de Zamora. Rodrigo, que juró proteger por igual a todos los hijos del rey, derrota sin ayuda a los guardias de Alfonso y lleva a Sancho hasta Calahorra, ciudad bajo dominio de Urraca. Sancho llega hasta sus muros para reclamar que se le entregue a Alfonso, pero Urraca se niega. Mientras tanto, Ben Yusuf llega a Valencia, ciudad desde donde planea desembarcar a su armada. Allí, contrata al noble cristiano Dolfos, quien engaña y asesina al príncipe Sancho frente a las murallas de Zamora. Con ello, Ben Yusuf pretende sembrar la sospecha de que el asesinato ha sido ordenado por su hermano. Aunque Alfonso se convierte en el único rey, el Cid le obliga a hacer un juramento sobre la Biblia de que no participó en el asesinato de su hermano Sancho. Como castigo por esta ofensa, el nuevo rey dicta el destierro de Rodrigo. Doña Jimena, al comprender que aún lo ama, decide unirse al exilio de su marido, pero el Cid la deja en un monasterio y parte acompañado de un nutrido grupo de hombres fieles, abandonando Castilla.

Años más tarde, Rodrigo es requerido en la corte por el rey Alfonso, a quien Ben Yusuf le ha retado a enfrentarse en Sagrajas. El Cid se lo desaconseja, pues cree conveniente conquistar Valencia. El monarca rechaza a los aliados del Cid e insiste en que acuda a Sagrajas. El Cid visita a doña Jimena en el monasterio, donde conoce a sus dos hijas gemelas, Elvira y Sol. Desde allí, desoyendo la orden de su rey, Rodrigo se alía con Almutamin de Zaragoza para sitiar Valencia. Tras ser derrotado en la Batalla de Sagrajas, el rey Alfonso ordena encarcelar a doña Jimena y a sus hijas, obligando a Rodrigo a abandonar el sitio de Valencia y acudir a Burgos, en peligro ante el avance almorávide. Afortunadamente, el conde Ordóñez las libera y traslada a Valencia, zanjando definitivamente su rivalidad con el Cid. Sabiendo que los habitantes de la ciudad de Valencia están hambrientos, Rodrigo ordena arrojarles pan con sus catapultas, poniendo a los ciudadanos en su favor, quienes abren las puertas de la ciudad y asesinan al emir Al-Kadir. Aunque todos piden al Cid que se corone rey de Valencia, este envía la corona al rey Alfonso.

Ben Yusuf llega con su inmenso ejército invasor y, tras torturar y asesinar al conde Ordóñez, sólo Valencia le separa de conquistarlo todo. La batalla entre ambos bandos comienza bien para los defensores, pero el Cid es alcanzado en el pecho por una flecha y regresa a Valencia, a la vista del ejército moro. Almutamin cree que Rodrigo puede salvar la vida si se le saca la flecha, pero este se niega, pues hacerlo lo incapacitaría para el ataque del día siguiente. Rodrigo, dispuesto a acallar los rumores de que ha muerto, saluda a los habitantes de Valencia y les promete que cabalgará a su lado por la mañana. Minutos antes de que el Cid fallezca, el rey Alfonso llega a Valencia lleno de culpa y le pide perdón, prometiéndole cuidar de sus hijas. Sus aliados cumplen el último deseo de Rodrigo, atándolo con ayuda de una estructura de hierro a su caballo. Guiado por el rey Alfonso y el emir Almutamin, el cadáver del Cid lidera una carga montada contra los ahora aterrorizados soldados de Ben Yusuf, que creen que el Cid ha resucitado de entre los muertos. En el pánico que sobreviene, Ben Yusuf es arrojado de su caballo y aplastado bajo los cascos de Babieca, dejando que su ejército disperso sea aniquilado. El rey Alfonso dirige a cristianos y moros en una oración para que Dios reciba el alma "del caballero más puro de todos".

Comentarios
La preferencia de Samuel Bronston por Carmen Sevilla (con la que acababa de rodar Rey de reyes) en detrimento de Sara Montiel, hizo que surgieran problemas entre productor y director, Anthony Mann, esposo de Sara Montiel. Ella contaba con desdén cómo rechazó el papel sugiriendo que lo realizara la bella Sofía Loren.
Para algunas escenas de masas se utilizaron reclutas que estaban realizando el servicio militar.

Diferencias con los hechos históricos
 En la película se menciona frecuentemente la palabra «España». Esto hay que entenderlo como referido a Hispania o a la península ibérica.
 Fernando I aparece como rey de Castilla y de León, cuando en realidad solo lo fue de León y conde de Castilla. Fernando I tenía también una hija llamada Elvira, que se hizo con el Señorío de Toro a la muerte de su padre y un hijo llamado García, que fue rey de Galicia a la muerte de su padre. Ambos personajes no aparecen ni se les menciona en la película.
 Almutamin, rey de la Taifa de Zaragoza, jura lealtad al Cid al principio del metraje, reinando aún el rey Fernando I, muerto en 1063. La realidad es que Almutamin y el Cid solo tuvieron relación entre 1081 y 1085. Además, Almutamin tampoco residió en Valencia junto al Cid, pues murió antes de que la ciudad fuese conquistada por aquél, en 1094.
 El padre de doña Jimena no fue el conde Gormaz, personaje ficticio, sino el conde Diego Fernández. Además, el Cid y doña Jimena no contrajeron matrimonio antes de la muerte de Fernando I, sino alrededor de diez años más tarde, a propouesta de su hijo, el rey Alfonso VI. Por tanto, el arco argumental del asesinato del padre de Jimena es totalmente ficticio.
 Peñíscola aparece representada como si fuera Valencia. Sin embargo, el casco histórico de Valencia no está en la costa, sino en la llanura aluvial de Turia, por lo que la ciudad medieval no tenía acceso directo a la playa, estando unos kilómetros tierra adentro.
 Urraca heredó Zamora, no Calahorra. De hecho, Alfonso se refugió junto a su hermana en Zamora, frente a cuyas murallas fue asesinado Sancho a manos de Vellido Dolfos, según la leyenda. Aun así, en ninguna fuente se implica a Almutamin como instigador del asesinato, siendo una disputa interna del Reino de Castilla. Además, la trama da a entender que la disputa entre ambos hermanos se inicia en 1063, a la muerte del rey Fernando I, pero en realidad ambos convivieron sin atacarse hasta la muerte de la reina madre Sancha de León, en 1067.
 Aunque en la película parece mostrar una actitud neutral en las disputas entre Sancho y Alfonso, el Cid siempre sirvió y combatió de parte del príncipe Sancho. Con Alfonso como rey, Rodrigo mantuvo buenas relaciones con el nuevo monarca, siendo éste quien le propuso un matrimonio ventajoso con Doña Jimena. Finalmente, su destierro no se debió a su actitud en la Jura de Santa Gadea, episodio actualmente considerado legendario, sino a una incursión por parte del Rodrigo en la Taifa de Toledo, entonces bajo la protección directa del rey Alfonso.
 Basada en el Cantar de mío Cid, la película muestra a Rodrigo con dos hijas, llamadas Elvira y Sol. En realidad, las fuentes confirman que los hijos del Cid fueron Cristina, Diego y María.
 Al-Kadir de Valencia es presentado como un traidor aliado a los almorávides, pero en realidad fue vasallo del Cid, asesinado por aquéllos dos años antes de la toma de Valencia, en 1094.
 En el sitio de Valencia no se lanzaron hogazas de pan, aunque recuerda a los "bombardeos del pan" de 1938, realizados por Franco sobre varias ciudades republicanas, en la Guerra Civil. La película muestra al Cid rechazando la corona de Valencia pero, en realidad, Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar se hizo titular como «príncipe Rodrigo el Campeador» tras conquistar esta ciudad.
 El rey Alfonso VI no llegó a Valencia a la muerte del Cid, sino que lo hizo un año después, en 1100, estando ya viuda doña Jimena. Más allá del origen legendario de la escena final, el emir Almutamin tampoco pudo estar presente, pues murió en 1084, más de una década antes de que lo hiciese Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, el cual falleció realmente debido a causas naturales.

Localizaciones de rodaje
Esta película fue rodada, entre otros sitios, en Peñíscola, Ampudia, Torrelobatón y el Castillo de Belmonte.

Recepción
 Es una de las películas favoritas de Martin Scorsese, que la considera «una de las más grandes películas épicas jamás creadas». Scorsese fue una de las fuerzas principales detrás de la restauración y reestreno de El Cid en 1993.

Why you add the voltages by batteries in series?
If you place two pumps in series, then one pump pumps the water , for example, 1 meter higher and another pump in series pumps it again 1 meter higher. In total you pump the water than 2 meters higher.
A battery is a kind of electron pump. If you place, for example, two batteries of 1 Volt in series, then one battery pumps the electrons 1Volt higher and the other one again 1 Volt higher. The total voltage difference becomes then 2 Volt.
But connecting the plus pole of one battery with the minus pole of the other one.... Is this possible? Won't you get some kind of short circuit? What happens then?
Let's take as an example a Zinc Copper Galvanic Cell and see what happens when you connect two in series.
First we place a zinc electrode in a container with a solution of ZnSO4.
An amount of Zn atoms will dissolve from the electrode into the solution, until the created electric potential difference between the Zn electrode and the solution is that high that this process stops. Any Zn atom that likes to dissolve then, is stopped by the force exerted by the negative electrons left in the electrode and by the extra Zn+2 ions in the solution. There is equilibrium when the voltage difference between the electrode and the solution is - 0,76 V (this is just a property of zinc).
The Zinc atoms like to dissolve into the solution. But when there are already many inside the solution, any new atoms that like to dissolve are stopped by the negative charge of the electrons left in the electrode and the positive charge of the zinc atoms already in the solution. The potential difference will not become greater than - 0,76 V.
Now we place a copper electrode in another container with a solution of CuSO4.
An amount of copper ions will leave the solution and plate (connect) on the electrode, until the created electric potential difference between the copper electrode and the solution is that high that this process stops. When equilibrium is reached, the potential difference (voltage) between the copper electrode and the solution will be + 0,34 V. This is just a property of copper.
The copper ions like to leave the solution and to plate (connect) on the electrode. Although they liberate energy by doing so, there will be a moment that the positively charged copper atoms already in the electrode and the negatively charged SO4 ions in the solution impede that anymore copper ions leave the solution. The potential difference will not become greater than + 0,34 V.
(or some other type of ions). The middle Cu and Zn electrodes are connected by a conducting wire.
What has happened with the Zn electrode in the third container when we connected it to the copper electrode?
Some electrons will have flowed to the Cu electrode with which it is connected. This will cause extra positive charge in the Zn electrode, which will cause in turn that extra Zn atoms will dissolve into the solution, until the potential difference is again 0,76 V and equilibrium has been reached.
It does not matter what is the absolute potential of the zinc electrode or the copper electrode. If you connect an electrode to something and you changes its absolute potential (compared to the earth), then just an amount of zinc and/or copper atoms will leave and/or enter into the solution until equilibrium has been reached again and the standard potential differences are again -0,76 V for the zinc electrode and +0,34 V for the copper electrode.
That the absolute potentials are not important, but yes the potential diffence, you could understand perhaps with the following comparison: image that one person is pulling at your left arm, and two persons are pulling at your right arm (everybody has the same strenght). And then that 100 persons are pulling at your left arm and 101 persons are pulling at your right arm. The net result will be the same (provided that your arms are strong enough...).
to the right plus pole of the two galvanic cells in series.
ourselves against the potential difference of 0,76 V (like climbing a hill).
the second container, which will cost us no labour (energy).
Travelling to the Zn electrode costs no energy, because the potential is everywhere the same.
Then we leave the Zn electrode and go inside the solution of the third container. This will cost us energy.
Now we travel through the solution and the salt bridge to the fourth container. This will cost us no energy.
The go inside the Cu electrode will take again some energy.
you have to add the voltages.

As if Amazon didn't already have a sizable lead in the smart home sector, the ubiquitous company has given its range of Echo devices a veritably sleek upgrade. Presented at a recent event, the new Echo Dot, Echo Show, and Echo Plus devices combine modern aesthetics, swift functionality, and durable construction to downright seamless effect. As a result, Amazon has once again given consumers no good reason to shop elsewhere, which is certainly bad news for brands like Apple and Google (though let's be honest, both those companies are doing just fine). Meanwhile, this marks the first time that Echo Show will be available in Australia. Indeed, your smart home is about to get that much smarter, and more stylish to boot.
If you're the type who would love some choice visuals to accompany Alexa's sweet voice, the new Echo Show is right up your alley. Bolstered by improved audio and an immersive 10″ HD display, the device offers crisp resolution, built-in smart home capability, and powerful sound. Ask Alexa to stream music, show you the weather, play a video, pull up your shopping list, and much more, and watch it all come to life before your very eyes and ears. Speaking of those ears, thanks to dual Neodymium drivers, a passive bass radiator, and Dolby processing, the compact gadget delivers deep bass and impressive dynamic range.
With the Echo Show's Zigbee smart home hub at your disposal, you can do things like turn on lights or turn off other devices at the drop of a voice command. Also featured is a built-in 5MP camera, allowing you to video call friends and family, permitted they have Echo Show, Echo Spot, or the Alexa App. Furthermore, Amazon plans to equip Echo Show with Skyping capability in the near future, thereby expanding your network of potential video contacts.
The perks of owning an Echo Show keep rolling in. For instance, you can use the Drop-In feature to check on other areas of the house by way of an intercom-like infrastructure between various Echo devices. If you'd rather do some searching of the worldwide variety, the device comes with a built-in web browser and on-screen keyboard, giving it the functionality of a tablet. Additionally, the Echo Show includes thousands of "skills", granting you access to everything from upcoming bill payments to live sports streams to traffic updates to storybooks for kids. Needless to say, this baby has it all.
Of course, Echo Show is but one among many wondrous new products to emerge from Amazon's workshop. There's also the new Echo Plus, which comes equipped with Zigbee smart home hub, enabling control over compatible lights, locks, plugs, switches, and more, all without the need for additional hubs or apps. Along similar lines, the Echo Plus now includes an embedded temperature sensor, which can send you a notification when the room hits a certain temperature, or turn on a fan by way of smart plug.
Amazon also unveiled the latest iteration of Echo Dot. Taking a few design cues from the competition, the compact device hosts a new fabric finish, a curved shape, and more powerful sound. Avaliable in a range of colours, the Echo Dot is an effortless way to get weather updates, listen to music, control compatible smart home devices, set timers, and more.
For those who want to take the sonics up another notch, Amazon introduced the Echo Sub, aka the first Echo subwoofer. It includes an equaliser, and connects with compatible devices to create 1.1 or 2.1 stereo sound. Ask Alexa to adjust the bass, mid-range, or treble, and she's more than happy to oblige. In other words, the power is in your hands…or your voice, rather.
Amazon's latest slayers are all available for pre-order now, and will start shipping next month. They'll also be sold at retailers such as JB Hi-Fi, Officeworks, and more. Order an Echo Show now and Amazon will throw in a Philips Hue smart lightbulb free of charge (while supplies last).
