Author's new Anthology book "You Can't Get There From Here" receives a warm literary welcome
Readers' Favorite announces the review of the Fiction – Anthology book "You Can't Get There From Here" by Megan Gordon, currently available at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B098RCK7NG.
Reviewed By Viga Boland for Readers' Favorite
"Megan Gordon tells me in one of the poignant short stories in her anthology, You Can't Get There From Here, that I am "the cure and the sickness, the cause and the remedy." Of course, she didn't aim that at me directly, but story after story, her characters and scenes reminded me who I am, and illuminated the darkening memories of my past. What an awakening I've experienced reading this collection! There were the conflicting feelings for which I'd hated myself as my mother died. Another story awakened the heartache I tried to bury after I let someone I loved walk out of my life. In yet another story, I was reminded of my shock on learning that a friend who should have lived a full life committed suicide. How was Gordon doing this to me with such simple, unadorned, and few words that said so much and evoked such a strong response from me? It was almost magical that somehow characters I've never met were people I've always known.
"Many of the stories were sad but when I read Going Home, I burst out laughing. The narrator, a daughter coming home for a visit, as my own daughter is actually doing in 4 hours, states: "Is this what happens in marriage? If you stay together long enough, you eventually start talking about dying?" How do I tell my daughter that, yes, honey, your father and I talk about that a lot, perhaps too much these days, but welcome home anyway. It was the meaningful reflections and questions like these that kept me turning the pages of You Can't Get There from Here. I've read thrillers that engaged me less. The stories are beautiful, relevant, and unique. Megan Gordon's style and content are intimate, raw. Her words evoke memories and emotions readers have buried in order to get on with their lives. I, for one, thank her for reminding me of so much I'd forgotten. Brilliant writing that deserves so much more praise than a short review can give."

When it comes to cosmetic dermatology, there are many procedures that can help you improve your looks. Juvéderm is one of the more popular options in San Antonio. It works as a dermal filler that will help smooth out lines and winkles. The results tend to last about a year. One of the best things about Juvéderm is that it's non-invasive and the results look natural. As with any treatment, it is important to know what it involves. That way you can understand the process and get the most out of your treatments.
The aim of treatments is to reverse the signs of aging. It involves a hyaluronic acid injected into the skin. This acid helps fill out the skin and smooth out wrinkles. It will also work to puff out your cheeks and make them seem fuller. Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in the body, so you are not getting anything foreign injected into your skin. It works by absorbing water and binding with it, which helps to create volume. As you age, the amount of hyaluronic acid you produce lessens, which causes hollowed cheeks and unsightly lines.
Luckily, Juvéderm is safe for just about anybody. No matter your skin type or skin tone, it should work for you. If you are looking for some facial contouring, it can help with that. It will also help reduce the visibility of scars. The only people who are not good candidates are those who are allergic to certain substances that may be present in the injection. Also, those who are nursing or pregnant should not have Juvéderm injections. Despite how safe it is, it's always a good idea to listen to the advice of your cosmetic dermatology specialist.
When you are ready for your treatment, a specialist of the doctor will place marks on your face where the injections will go. Those sites will be cleaned and sanitized. They will also apply a numbing agent. The injections themselves only take a minute or two. You will then be cleaned up and provided with an ice pack to help with any swelling or irritation. Do not place pressure on the site or else you could move the filler around, which will affect your results. After treatment there is no downtime and you can return to your regular activities. You may have some bruising or swelling, but it will be mild.
Preparation for treatment means avoiding certain things. Do not take any over the counter drugs such as aspirin or vitamins. This includes herbal supplements. Avoid them for at least 10 days prior.
After treatment, there are several things you can do to help maximize your results. First off, avoid excessive heat for a few hours afterwards. This includes hot showers and saunas. Heat can create dilation in the blood vessels, which can cause bruising. Try not to exert yourself too much immediately after treatment as well. Continue to avoid over the counter drugs and supplements for two weeks after.
As part of your regular skin care routine, you should use a gentle cleaner to keep your face clean and clear. You want to use gentle cleaners so that they do not remove your skin's natural oils. Anti-aging moisturizers will also help to keep your skin looking fresh, healthy, and younger.
Cosmetic dermatology has many different treatments to help your skin get younger. Make sure to get the most out of your treatments.

San Jose area caregivers from Visiting Angels can assist with ALS care.
Receiving a diagnosis of ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease) can bring up a lot of questions and concerns, for both the individual diagnosed and his or her family members. What's the cause of ALS? What are the signs of ALS now, and how will they be changed in the years to come? Where can I go to find necessary support?
As many as 30,000 Americans are presently diagnosed with ALS, and about 5,600 new patients are diagnosed with the disease each year. And although the actual cause is not clear, some scientific studies point to confusing risk factors, such as a doubled risk of ALS in veterans who were in service during the Gulf War.
Though each individual can experience ALS differently from others, the advancement of the disease does seem to follow specific stages. Comprehending these stages can assist those with ALS and those who care for them in implementing the most appropriate plan of care.
Receiving care from a professional in-home caregiver, such as Visiting Angels, can improve quality of life for individuals during any stage of ALS. Our San Jose home health care team works with families to create an individualized plan of care, allowing those experiencing symptoms of ALS to maintain dignity and the highest possible level of independence at all times. Contact us online or call us at 408-610-9996 to learn more about our senior care services in San Jose and throughout Santa Clara County.

It seems that more people are in need of drug addiction help in today's world than ever before. The number of people addicted to drugs and/or alcohol is growing year by year. It seems that the multitudes of information available about the harmful effects that drugs and alcohol have on the body, mind, and spirit are being ignored or disregarded.
Street drugs are not the only probelm we are facing in today's society. More and more people are becoming dependent on prescribed medications from their doctors. These types of drugs can be potentially more dangerous than street drugs, like marjiuana and cocaine, because the side effects can be much more severe.
Many times when an addict or the family of an addict is searching for drug addiction help, they find themselves in a situation where they are not sure which way to turn for help. Most people trust the medical profession when it comes to getting help with anything that has to due with the body, however, in the case of drug addiction, a medical opinion may not get you the most successful result. Most medical professionals will substitute one drug for another, which leaves the addict addicted in some way. Finding an option that can help you recover fully from drug addiction without the use of other drugs or medications will be the most beneficial if you want to recover completely from addiction.
There are situations where a person who is addicted may need to go through a medical detox. In this type of situation the type of drug the person is withdrawaling from can have severe side effects. Sometimes these withdrawal symptoms could result in seizures or death if withdrawal is not done under medical supervision. How does one determine what kind of drug addiction help is needed? Talking to a certified chemical dependency counselor can help you make the right choice.

Kidney and Liver Support – Why is it so important?
By David J Getoff, Traditional Naturopath and Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist.
In this article on improving your health, I will address what may be the single most important issue related to staying healthy. Too many toxic substances and our body's inability to get rid of them fast enough to prevent their continued accumulation in our tissues.
Food colorings, flavorings and preservatives that are manufactured in a lab rather than taken from whole foods; residues from pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and hormones; heavy metals in our fish and in our silver amalgam fillings, as well as numerous other toxic substances enter our bodies on a daily basis. The amounts of these toxins that even the most careful consumers are being exposed to is hundreds of thousands of times higher than what existed on this planet as recently as a few hundred years ago. Our bodies were never designed to handle this level of toxic load nor can they adapt to this increasing onslaught as fast as it is occurring (and escalating every year).
Our detoxification organs include the liver, kidneys, intestines, skin, and even the lungs as we take in oxygen and breathe out various poisons. The kidneys and liver try their best to help us to process and eliminate much of our toxic load, but they need help. Over the many decades of our lives, they are not able to do their jobs at optimal levels and our toxic load begins to increase. The fact that we generally eat three meals each day and yet only have an average of less than one bowel movement each day further aggravates the problem. If our eliminatory organs could keep up, all of the toxin associated conditions would be substantially less prevalent in our society. Cancer, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, environmental illness/multiple chemical sensitivity and others are related in one or more ways to our toxic load.
In my practice, the first thing I address after giving instruction on correct food choices (all of which is contained in my two hour Eating for Optimal Health video) is the support for at least two months of both kidney and liver function. Although milk thistle can be very protective to the liver and both stinging nettle and asparagus can help support the kidneys, using only these herbs is not sufficient to help undo decades of toxic exposure.
In my office, I generally utilize energetic testing methods to determine the best kidney and liver product for each individual patient. Having tested many hundreds of people for these types of organ support, I have found only a few products which continually test as beneficial for the greatest number of my patients. Of these few top products, the only ones which are available to the general public are Kidney Rescue ® and Liver Balance Plus ® from the Pure Body Institute. Both are available on Elite Alternative.net web site. I utilize both of these excellent products with many patients. Most often, unless a person has been on a lot of drugs (legal or otherwise, including alcohol) or has long term exposure to toxins such as chlorine, solvents, paints etc., one large bottle of each is often all that is needed to bring these organs back up to a healthy level of operation.
Blood tests are extremely unreliable for testing liver and kidney function since both organs are able to hold their respective blood test values in the normal range even though they are not anywhere near optimal levels of function. Only challenge testing can show this problem and that type of test is rarely done by most physicians.
Kidney and liver support should be done correctly and at the proper speed for your body so as not to cause any reactions. I do not utilize any of the kidney or liver flushes that have been popularized for decades. They seem to have three problems that I do not like. Firstly, they can be too aggressive and there is no way to slowly increase them over time. Second, I do not believe that they can act deeply enough when compared to using a product daily for a couple of months. Third, and very important, I have met a number of physicians who has saved the green pellets that are released during this type of flush and sent them in to be analyzed. They were predominantly composed of the oil that was used for the flush, mixed with a little bile. They were NOT stones that were being cleared out by the body during the flush!
For a variety of reasons, some people cannot start both kidney and liver support at the same time. These people are so toxic that the liver product needs to be used for at least a couple of weeks before the kidney product can be added in, so as to avoid detox effects such as fatigue, loose stool, headaches or a rash. I try to avoid these effects at all costs and I proceed as slowly as necessary so that few or no symptoms are brought on during the support of these organs. Sensitive individuals should begin with one tablet with breakfast and dinner of the Liver Balance. After a couple of weeks I recommend an increase to 2 tablets at these meals and a week later adds a 5 th tablet at bedtime. The next step is to add in a Kidney tablet before breakfast and lunch and then raise it to 2 tablets at these two times of day till both bottles are empty. I always instruct patients to stop immediately if any problems occur. When the problem goes away, re-start at a lower dose and build up more slowly.
Although this is a very important overall benefit to the body for preventive reasons and will undoubtedly reduce the risks of various future health conditions, many can actually feel the benefits as better sleep more energy and a healthier feeling overall and sometimes better elimination. Please don't be shy. Email us to let us know if you experience any benefits from using these products.
For those who wish to determine whether a particular supplement is beneficial for a particular person, you will need to learn muscle testing. This can be done from my three hour instructional video and some practice with friends and family. Click here to purchase this video.

You Name It, I Can Write it.
Feature articles, press releases, ghost writing for opinion pieces, brochures, fact sheets, video scripts, web pages, enewsletters, fundraising letters, exhibit content… if you can name it, I've probably written it before. I began my career as a journalist — writing well, writing accurately and writing under deadline pressure. As the director of communications at a major marine science research laboratory, I made complex topics easy to understand and interesting to a wide variety of audiences. In my role promoting a major visitor attraction, I had fun finding ways to entice guests to come for a visit.

Folklife Festival Thursday to Saturday
V.I. National Park's 21st annual Folklife Festival runs Thursday through Saturday at Annaberg Plantation on St. John. Times for Thursday and Friday are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. On Saturday, the event will be held from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Park ranger Denise Georges urged, "Come. You could learn a lot, see a lot and taste a lot."
Georges has organized the festival held in conjunction with Black History Month for all of its 21 years.
She said the event was a time to reflect on ethnic accomplishments. "To learn, to experience, to grow."
The United Nations designated the year 2011 the "International Year for People of African Descent." Discussions at the Folklife Festival will focus on strengthening national actions and regional cooperation for the benefit of people of African descent.
With that goal in mind, Georges said territorial librarian Ingrid Bough will discuss the importance of "putting pen to paper." Chenzira Kahina of St. Croix will also make a cultural presentation.
Georges expects school groups to visit Thursday and Friday. Thursday's programs are geared toward students in grades kindergarten through six, while Friday's target students in grades seven through 12. Teachers are urged to have students take notes and wear hats to shade them from the sun.
While students are the focus Thursday and Friday, Georges also anticipates community and visitors will make their way to Annaberg on all three days.
The theme is Wake Up and Plant a Seed, and Georges said staff from the University of the Virgin Islands Cooperative Extension Service will provide demonstrations on growing plants.
Coral Bay Gardens owner Hugo Roller will also talk about plants.
Cultural bearers including Jane Johannes, Mario Benjamin, Sonia Sprauve, Bridgette Julius, Justin Todman, and many more will add their expertise to the programs.
On Saturday, the Indians and Masquerade Carnival Troupes from St. Thomas will perform, Georges said.
"Bring a flashlight, chair and bug spray," she advised.
Smalls and the Music Makers will perform.
All three days will see vendors selling arts, crafts, food, and drink.
For more information, call Georges at 776-6201, ext. 239.

Weeds are the number one problem when it comes to keeping your lawn attractive. Unfortunately, there's not one miracle cure for this common problem. Since every weed is different, different forms of treatment must be applied and underlying causes may need to be addressed.
Proper weed identification is key to control.
Other lawn care companies can unintentionally kill broadleaf plants, such as trees and shrubs with overzealous application of herbicides.
Unlike most lawn care companies, we make sure that the herbicides we use are sprayed directly where there is weed growth in order to avoid cross-contamination.
If your soil has problems, you will have a weed problem.
The number one way to control the weeds in your lawn is to keep the soil fresh and clean through fertilizing the soil and mowing the lawn.
Some weeds are toxic, and must be handled with care.
At Good's Tree and Lawn Care we have professionals dedicated to choosing the best treatment plan based on your unique lawn and the specific weeds we observe. Some weeds must be dug out, some can be mowed over, and some require chemical solutions. If you're in our service area, contact us today for professional, responsible weed control for your lawn.

Billionaire casino owner and republican megadonor, Sheldon Adelson has died following a battle with cancer, he was 87.
Adelson was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2019 and recently stepped away from the company to resume his treatment.
He died on Monday night, from complications related to treatment for non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, his company Las Vegas Sands announced on Tuesday, 12 January.
"Our founder and visionary leader, Sheldon G. Adelson, passed away last night at the age of 87 from complications related to treatment for non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, the statement said
A funeral will be held in Israel, the birthplace of his wife, with plans for a memorial service held in Las Vegas to be announced at a later date, according to the company.
In a statement, former president George W. Bush, a republican called Adelson an 'American patriot' and a generous benefactor of charitable causes who is a strong supporter of Israel.
"Sheldon battled his way out of a tough Boston neighbourhood to build a successful enterprise that loyally employed tens of thousands and entertained millions, Bush said.
Adelson and his wife, Miriam, were President Trump's largest donors, the couple has donated more than $525 million to federal political campaigns and committees since the 2010 cycle, per opensecrets.

The Financial Services Board, also known as the FSB is currently investigating various funeral policy schemes in SA. The FSB is an independent institution, established to oversee all non-banking financial services. This is done in the best interest of the South-African public.
The FSB has warned the public to take caution when taking out funeral policies. There are various institutions that are offering funeral policies that are sub-par. When taking out a funeral policy, you need to make sure that you make use of a reputable provider.
At FuneralCoverQuotes.com, we make sure that you find a reputable funeral insurance provider. We have a long standing relationship with AVBOB, Metropolitan & Discovery. All the providers we represent are well known and have proven themselves to our nation.
We have made use of various providers in the past. At InSHoor™ we pride ourselves on the quality of providers we represent. With AVBOB, Metropolitan & Discovery, you know that you are getting providers that have been around for a very long time. They have all established themselves and proven that they provide nothing but the best service.
When taking out a funeral policy, you must make sure that the funeral cover provider you choose has a reputable track record. There are many smaller funeral scheme providers that, might not be able settle claims to your satisfaction. Sometimes it might be better to pay slightly more for your funeral plan – if you know the reputation of the provider.
Funeral cover was designed to offer the consumer peace of mind. The last thing you want to do is get to claim stages and realise that the provider you have chosen can't pay your claim.
An FSB spokesperson said they requested documents from the businesses mentioned above. They had to prove that they are underwritten by a registered long-term insurance company. In South-Africa, this is required by law. The above companies might be able to provide the necessary documents; however, they did not manage to respond in the 10 day grace period offered by the FSB. Alternatively, they were not able to produce the required documents.
South-African law requires all funeral policies to be underwritten by a registered long-term insurance company. This is to ensure that sincere policyholders and their deserving beneficiaries will not struggle when they need to claim. Claiming is one of the most important parts of funeral cover. Most reputable funeral cover providers will settle claims within 48 hours of receiving all the required documents.
When a policy holder takes out a funeral plan, it's vital to ensure that the long-term insurance company who is underwriting the policy is made available. If you do not see this information in your policy wording, we suggest that you get in touch with your funeral policy provider.


Euronews, a private media venture which benefits from substantial EU funding, has in recent years been destabilised by the arrival of foreign investors.
The latest episode is the current closure of the Ukrainian service, due to lack of financing, and the lay-off of 17 journalists.
The Russian service of Euronews has five job openings, but refuses to take any of the 17 journalists from the Ukrainian department. The management explained that not hiring any Ukrainian journalists was a specific instruction from the Russian shareholder (Russian state TV).
The journalists have argued that not proposing positions available within the company to people facing job cuts is a clear violation of the French labour legislation, not even to mention the company's ethical responsibility towards people who have all worked here for over five years.
However, the management has responded that Ukrainian journalists could not work for the Russian service "because their cultural background is too different".
Journalists have rejected the explanation as ridiculous. In fact, the journalists from both the Ukrainian and the Russian teams were born in the ex-Soviet Union and thus share more or less the same cultural, educational and other backgrounds.
During discussions, journalists referred to the English service that over time has had journalists from Australia, New Zealand, Southern Scotland, Ireland, USA and even France, and the differences in their cultural backgrounds have never been an issue.
Moreover, cultural diversity is one of the core values of Euronews which makes us the broadcaster different from other channels, as the company's management likes to say.
Speaking to euractiv.com, journalists from Euronews who asked not to be named said what was going on was illegal under French law, and that they were determined to fight.
Another concern raised by journalists is that the European dimension of Euronews was "brutally disappearing" and that the management was pushing the broadcaster into becoming a "bad CNN", covering anything else, but not the EU.
"If today the management is complying with the Russian demands concerning the choice of journalists, it means that tomorrow all Euronews services may be forced to voice messages of the Russian state propaganda in their respective languages", a journalist said.
The financial situation of Euronews is reportedly destabilised by a €1.5 million fine to AFP Agency for the use of agency videos without authorisation.
EURACTIV last year asked Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker if he was aware of some of the problems Euronews is facing. In his typical style, Juncker made jokes, but avoided an answer.
Euronews is a multilingual news television channel, headquartered in Lyon-Écully, France. Created in 1993, it is an alliance of some 20 public broadcasters which aims to cover world news from a pan-European perspective.
Naguib Sawiris, an Egyptian billionaire, has taken a 53% stake in Euronews in 2015.
The Ukrainian edition of Euronews was opened in 2009, with Ukrainian public financing. In February 2015, an Egyptian investor, Naguib Sawiris, bought a 53% stake in Euronews, and on 13 March 2015 it was announced that Inter Media Group, owned by Dmytro Firtash, a Ukrainian oligarch, had taken over the Ukrainian service.
In February 2013, Firtash bought Inter Media Group Ltd., which owns eight television stations, for $2.5 billion from ex-First Deputy Prime Minister Valeriy Khoroshkovskiy, who was in charge of the secret services of the then-President Viktor Yanukovich. This has led to Ukraine banning Euronews on its territory.
Considering the control by the various owners over the journalists, perhaps Euronews should be shut down.

The Matrix Revolutions: Movie Review
Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Laurence Fishburne, Hugo Weaving, and Jada Pinkett-Smith
DIRECTORS / WRITERS:
The Wachowski Brothers
EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS:
Andy Wachowski, Larry Wachowski, Grant Hill, Andrew Mason, and Bruce Berman
Movieguide Magazine
The light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not -- John 1:5, KJV
Thanks to loony, leftist professor Cornell West, according to the newspapers, the second Matrix movie took a left turn into Marxist philosophy, with some anti-Christian symbolism. The good news is that Matrix Revolution returns to its basic salvation story, reflecting on the influence of, and the longing for, a messianic savior. This myth is complete with Neo, a messianic figure takes upon Himself the sins of others, dies to bring peace to the world, although there is no sign of resurrection yet. Regrettably, Neo is a deeply flawed messianic figure who is not only not divine but who also has deeply sinful traits as seen in the previous movies, unlike the true Messiah Jesus Christ.
Regrettably, the myth is presented with much apparent philosophical and theological confusion. These pop philosophy barnacles weigh the story down, instead of lifting it up, and include references to existential, blind faith and an all-too-human messiah, as well as very pointed profanities. In spite of these very disturbing theological and philosophical flaws, the movie supports strong values such as truth, love, hope, faith, and peace.
The movie opens with Neo stuck in a subway station, stuck between the Matrix and the Machine World, and controlled by the Trainman. The Trainman answers to the Frenchman, an evil computer program that appears human in the Matrix. Trinity, Morpheus, and Seraph, a computer program who protects the rebellious computer program known as the Oracle, go to rescue Neo. In the midst of this rescue, there are several false philosophical points made, like words dont have real meaning, they mean what you want them to mean. This is especially troubling with a misinterpretation of Karma, which in the Hindu religion is a very negative term, but in the movie is presented as simply a type of fatalism. The talk about karma, however, leads into talk about the importance of love, which is defined as making positive connections to other beings. This is very interesting because the biblical meaning of sin, which is the antithesis of love, can be looked at as a break in our loving relationship with God, our Creator, and a break in our loving relationship with our fellow human beings.
Killing with reckless abandon and glee as they go, Trinity, Morpheus, and Seraph find the Frenchman in the midst of a bisexual, homosexual, sadomasochistic party. Whether this is the playboy shot, or a condemnation of it, may be unclear, but the fact remains that the party occurs in the dark, evil lair of the Frenchman, whose nihilistic attitude is overtly rejected by Morpheus and Trinity.
After they rescue Neo, the four of them join a rescue mission to locate and rescue the earth craft, Logos. Meanwhile, Zion is about to be penetrated by the machines. Tremendous personal battles as well as wide-scale communal battles take place, and finally Neo goes off with Trinity to the city of the machines, to try to bring peace, but the evil computer program known as Agent Smith has plans of his own.
Somewhere amidst all the action violence is a plot. There are moments where the plot becomes so weak that the movie may become tedious and boring for many viewers. However, once Neos goal is well defined, the movie takes off with a countdown to rescue Zion before machines kill all the human beings. The final battle also has to take place within the Matrix, as Neo confronts the opposite of himself, Agent Smith, who has become a figurative Anti-Christ.
Except for the suggestive dancing scene in the nightclub of the Frenchman, the sex is significantly toned down in The Matrix Revolutions. Although the philosophical musings are confused, and often contrary to Christianity, the final outcome fulfills the basic soteriological messianic story of a Christian allegory, except that this messiah is all too human and not at all divine. In some ways, the blood and violence is much more intense than the two previous movies, but it doesnt approach the level of violence in something like Saving Private Ryan. Still, the scenes of horrible beatings to the face and open wounds will disturb all but the most desensitized.
Another very obnoxious thing within the movie is one character who keeps spouting profanities. If the actor came up with this dialogue, the director should have chastised him or fired him. If this dialogue is in the script, it undermines the morality and Christian symbolism of the redemptive allegory. On the other hand, the two characters who seem to utter the most profanities are the two characters who dont believe in, and have no hope or faith in, the ability of the savior-figure, Neo, and the strength of the love that Neo shares with Trinity.
The good news is that, despite its negative qualities, The Matrix Revolutions contains apologetic, archetypal motifs that can help lead people toward Christianity if presented properly. In fact, the resolution of the conflicts in the movie, especially the one between Neo and Agent Smith, presents a visual and verbal representation of the biblical truth in John 1:15, The Light Shineth in Darkness; and the Darkness Comprehended It Not (John 1:5, KJV). This Christian concept of the Messianic Savior, for John 1:5 is clearly talking about Jesus Christ when it talks about The Light, helps bring Revolutions to a more powerful conclusion than the second movie suggested. The fact that the movie contains some strong comments in favor of cardinal virtues also helps. The Matrix Revolutions also contains a positive, although confused resolution to the old science fiction conflict between the human and the mechanical and a provocative, ultimately positive depiction of the science fiction theme of the human within the machine.
The bad news is that these strong positive aspects are encrusted with some false theology, lots of strong violence, and purposeless profanity, particularly in the first three-quarters of the movie. Like the first two movies, The Matrix Revolutions too often seems like a cryptic humanist, intellectual treatise on vapid philosophical concepts and non-Christian religious concepts borrowed from Eastern mysticism. Therefore, MOVIEGUIDE® advises extreme caution, a caution for adults and teenagers older than age 17 or 18. For many, the movie will fall into the excessive category.

More people complaining about police harassing them
Five policemen who detained Tengiz Gunava, a former Interior Ministry employee, were later fired. Many Georgians are now complaining about police violating procedural rules. (Interpressnews.)
TBILISI, DFWatch–A new report says a growing number of people are complaining about assaults and threats from the police.
The troubling statistic appears in the Georgian ombudsman's annual report to parliament, which takes stock of the human rights situation in the preceding year.
Ombudsman Ucha Nanuashvili said Monday that the latest report, covering the year 2012, describes important problems in different areas.
According to the report, citizens increasingly complained to the ombudsman's office about being attacked by police. The attacks happened both right after arriving at the police department and later while the persons were in detention.
The ombudsman notes that there was a case where representatives of the court, which is still staffed by members of the party associated with President Saakashvili which is now out of government, who reported that they were harassed by the police. The case concerns the secretary of one of the judges at Tbilisi City Court, and the incident took place on December 20, 2012. A policeman threatened him and demanded certain information.
The ombudsman's report describes a few other specific cases indicating pressure by law enforcers.
The public defender describes other types of violations by law enforcers, and mentions the case of Tengiz Gunava as an example. Gunava is a former Interior Ministry employee who was detained twice on different charges. There have been reports about violations in the process of his detention.
According to the report, a judge, prosecutor and investigator violated procedural rules during the search of Gunava and his apartment. Specifically, he explains that there was no legal basis for 'immediate search of apartment and personal search,' while Georgian law is 'exceptionally delicate' when it comes to private property, ownership and personal life.

Forty-eight percent of home owners who sell their home without a real estate agent believe that if they sell themselves they'll have to just do a little extra work and then be able to save on having to pay a commission or closing fee. But research shows that for-sale-by-owners actually end up having to spend a lot more time than they ever imagined and tend to end up with a final selling price that is lower than comparable listings that were sold by an agent, according to research by the National Association of REALTORS®.
Eighty-nine percent of all homes sold this year were sold with the assistance of a real estate professional, according to NAR's 2015 Home Buyers and Sellers Profile report. But for a small number of people, they still prefer to do it alone. Eight percent of home sellers chose to list themselves – a record low of for-sale-by-owner transactions, according to NAR's survey, which dates back to 1981.
"In reality, homes sold by the owner make less money overall," according to NAR's Economists' Outlook blog.
Take a look at the numbers from NAR's survey: The median selling price for all FSBO homes was $210,000 last year. When the buyer knew the seller in FSBO sales, the number sinks to the median selling price of $151,90. However, homes that were sold with the assistance of an agent had a median selling price of $249,000 – nearly $40,000 more for the typical home sale.

Language: Bilingual in English and German
Fossils are the petrified remains of former living organisms. Their systematics and their former living conditions are studied and described in palaeontology. In contrast to this, Fossil Design attempts to show the character of these life forms as signs and to pursue the question of whether fossils and representations of fossils can be considered 'beautiful'.
For this reason, the pictures' sequence is not based on a palaeontological system of classification, but instead progresses from realistic representations of, for instance, a coral's body in its entirety through ever smaller sectors of the image and details divorced from context to almost abstract images. In an introductory text, Hillert Ibbeken explains the concept and the methodology of the work. The ambiguous expression 'design' is used deliberately – not in the sense of a purposive undertaking by a creating subject, but in the sense of nature making a mark, guided by mutation and selection.
Katja Schoene writes about fossils' reception in the early modern age. The plants and animals enclosed in stone appeared too fantastical for anyone to consider them as anything other than 'freaks of nature' (lusus naturae). Explanations of their origin were as multifarious as their different manifestations. Rudolf zur Lippe deals with the forms of petrified life in relation to philosophical perspectives, pursuing the question of what 'beauty' means and indicating, among other things, that the expression 'beauty' cannot be unequivocally defined; that, for instance, different cultures may have entirely different ideals of beauty.
The illustrated section is followed by a glossary by Helmut Keupp with a synopsis of life's development on Earth and a table of the Earth's history.
Hillert Ibbeken was professor of geology at the Freie Universitat Berlin. He has had a lifelong interest in photography.

What are the main strengths of MIG welding techniques and equipment?
MIG welding is an abbreviation of 'metal inert gas', referring to the fact that MIG welders use gas stored in a tank or bottle to help create a protective cloud around the electrical arc (the component that does the actual melting of the metal wire during a welding process).
MIG welders are probably the most widely used type of welding machine on today's market, ideal for creating quick and clean joints and seals on metal surfaces ranging from thin gauge metal sheets to heavy steel pipes and structural plates.
MIG welding involves the weld wire being continually fed to where it's needed on a spool and is considered a suitable process for working a wide range of metal types including mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium.

The banking sector experienced mixed results in 2017. Although bank loans and asset quality benefitted from the country's ongoing economic recovery – with operating profits rising as a result – high provisioning costs and preparations for the new accounting standards that take effect in 2019 saw net profits decline for many larger commercial banks. The sector is resilient, well capitalised and liquid, but non-performing loans remain high, particularly for smaller businesses. According to S&P, 2018 is set to be a turning point for the sector, with macroeconomic expansion, stabilising asset quality and an anticipated increase in public investment likely to end the credit down cycle. Banks will experience gains in earnings as provisioning costs drop and loan growth recovers, with rising infrastructure investment expected to support broader industry expansion.

«Пік Данте» () — американський драматичний трилер-катастрофа 1997 р. режисера Роджера Дональдсона. Головні ролі виконували: Пірс Броснан, Лінда Гамільтон, Чарльз Галлахан, Елізабет Хоффман, Джеймі Рене Сміт, Джеремі Фолі і Грант Хеслов.

Сюжет розгортається у вигаданому місті Пік Данте, місто має пережити вулкан і його катастрофічні наслідки.

Сюжет
Гаррі Далтон, член геологічного дослідження Сполучених Штатів, став свідком виверження в Колумбії. Коли він і його наречена Маріанна намагаються втекти, шматок сміття пробивається крізь дах орендованого вантажівки, вбиваючи Маріанну.

Через чотири роки Гаррі живе самотнім життям у Ванкувері, штат Вашингтон, і його шеф Пол Дрейфус викликає на геологічну базу, де він працює. Пол відправляє Гаррі у відрядження в місто, відоме як Пік Данте, яке знаходиться поблизу сплячого вулкана. Після прибуття Гаррі зустрічає Рейчел Вондо, мера міста, разом із двома її дітьми, Лорен і Гремом. Рейчел пропонує Гаррі оглянути гору і познайомитися з літньою відлюдницею на ім'я Рут, яка живе в зрубі біля озера біля підніжжя гори. Оглядаючи гору, група переживає безліч лих, особливо молода пара, закипіла до смерті в басейні з гарячими джерелами. Рейчел скликає екстрену зустріч у ратуші з Гаррі на борту, щоб обговорити речі, але Пол несподівано втручається, думаючи, що Гаррі намагається створити помилкову тривогу і що немає достатньо доказів, щоб підготуватися до гіршого. Тим не менш, Пол збирає свою команду в мотелі, щоб стежити за активністю вулкана, і Гаррі починає розвивати романтичні почуття з Рейчел.

Через кілька днів Гаррі та його товариш по команді Террі Ферлонг досліджують кратер на вершині вулкана. Афтершок затиснув Террі в скелю, через що він отримав перелом ноги. Гелікоптер супроводжує обох чоловіків з вершини, і Пол протистоїть Гаррі за те, що він не надав достатніх доказів того, що вулкан становить будь-яку небезпеку. Коли геологічна група готується до відходу, Гаррі йде попрощатися з Рейчел та її родиною. Коли Лорен просить випити води, вони виявляють, що водопостачання міста забруднене. Гаррі представляє ці докази Полу, який досі не бачить жодних доказів вулканічної небезпеки, але його команда показує, що сейсмічні показання на комп'ютерах посилюються, нарешті переконуючи Пола, що вулкан може відреагувати досить скоро. Оскільки національна гвардія недоступна до наступного ранку, Пол неохоче дає дозвіл Гаррі та Рейчел привести місто в бойову готовність.

Коли в середній школі відбуваються міські збори, стався землетрус, і вулкан нарешті реагує. Коли жителі в панічному шаленстві евакуюються, Гаррі і Рейчел повертаються, щоб забрати дітей, але знаходять записку, що вони піднялися на гору, щоб зустріти Рут, яка відмовилася покинути свій будинок. Як тільки Гаррі і Рейчел дістаються до хатинки, в якій живе Рут, вони возз'єднуються з дітьми. Потік лави проникає в каюту і відправляє групу на моторний човен на озері. Коли вони катаються на човні, вони виявляють, що вся риба загинула, і Гаррі пояснює, що озеро перетворилося на сірчану кислоту через збагачені гази, що викидаються з вулкана. Коли мотор човна виходить з ладу, Гаррі робить все можливе, щоб підштовхнути човен вперед, але Рут стрибає в кислотне озеро, щоб підтягнути човен ближче до причалу. Рут отримує опіки кислотою і помирає від отриманих травм. Коли національна гвардія прибуває, щоб врятувати геологічну групу, льодовики гори розтанули, утворивши переповнений потік води, який прориває дамбу і утворює лахар. Коли національна гвардія та геологічна команда намагаються перетнути міст, лахар досягає їхнього шляху, ламаючи міст і кидаючи Пола за борт на смерть.

Гаррі, Рейчел і діти сідають на покинуту вантажівку рейнджерів і їдуть через пустелю вниз з гори. Вантажівка застряє, і потік лави спускається вниз. Гаррі вдається пробити, і група рятує собаку на ім'я Роугі, яка раніше втекла, коли діти намагалися переконати Рут спуститися раніше. Група повертається до спустошеного міста, де Гаррі отримує сигнальний маяк. Коли вони відходять, вулкан робить останню реакцію, викликаючи пірокластичну хмару, яка розбиває все на своєму шляху. Не маючи виходу з міста, Гаррі заїжджає в покинуту шахту, щоб сховатися, де Грем залишився на борту днями раніше. Потрапивши в шахту, Гаррі розуміє, що забув маяк, і повертається за ним. Афтершоки спричиняють падіння каміння та уламків, що відокремлює Гаррі від Рейчел та її дітей. У Гаррі зламана рука, і вона застрягла в вантажівці рейнджера, але з невеликою кількістю здатний активувати маяк.

Через кілька годин Террі та його команда, які повернулися на свою базу у Ванкувері, помічають, що маяк спрацював, що змушує їх викликати пошуково-рятувальні бригади, щоб витягти групу Гаррі з шахти. Гаррі, Рейчел та її діти возз'єднуються і сідають на вертоліт, обговорюючи, чим вони хочуть зайнятися найближчим часом.

Виробництво

Продюсер Джозеф М. Сінгер був заінтригований ідеєю фільму про вулкан, що сіє хаос на малі міста, після перегляду інтерв'ю із вулканологом. Сінгер пригадував: дивлячись як вулканолог знімав на камеру хмари гарячого газу, попелу та залишки порід, що вилітали із гори зі швидкістю більше 100 миль/годину і при температурі до 475° F, відзначив, що вітер міняється, і хмара рухається йому на зустріч. Настало хвилинне мовчання, а потім він сказав: «Я думаю, мені кінець». Через декількох секунд, все так і відбулось.

Будучи під враженням, Сінгер почав обдзвонювати вулканологів. Але виявилось що половина з них були мертві.

Сінгеру в кінцевому результаті вдалось поговорити із декількома ветеранами з Геологічної Служби США (USGS), які були свідками багатьох вивержень в цілому світі. Його висновок: «Ці люди є останніми авантюристами, що вічно живуть на грані смерті. Вони йдуть туди, куди ні одна здравомисляча людина ні за що би не сунулась».
Тим не менш, Сінгер не хотів фільм про «супер-мега-виверження», він хотів фільм який був би правдивий і реалістичний, про те, що є джерелом багатьох міфів і зачарувань протягом тисячоліть.

Сінгер обговорює свої ідеї із сценаристом Леслі Боем, який написав сценарій до фільму «Денне світло», для студії Universal Pictures. Боем працював над основною концепцією фільму, аж поки не розробив сюжетну лінію. Пізніше сценарій був проданий Роджеру Дональдсону.

Музика

Оригінальна партитура спільно складена Джоном Фріззелом і Джеймсом Ньютоном Говардом. Говард написав головну тему (її можна почути під час початкових титрів), у той час як Фріззелл написав більшу частину.

30 хвилин саундтрек випущений Varese Sarabande.

Критика

Фільм дебютував під час касових зборів на 2 сходинці після Зоряних воєн з $18 млн в перший вік-енд. Загалом він заробив $ 178 млн по всьому світу.

Rotten Tomatoes дав фільму 27% свіжості на основі 26 оглядів.

Під час виходу цієї картини на екрани США критики дещо поіронізували над примхливою долею кінематографістів із Голлівуду. Одночасно видана в повторний прокат двадцятирічної давності стрічка «Зоряні війни» Джорджа Лукаса випередила і за результатами першого вік-енду, і за загальним результатом касових зборів нове творіння «Пік Данте», зняте у, здавалося б, видовищному жанрі фільму-катастрофи. Але ця в більшості виправдана насмішка виявилась згодом ще гіркішою, оскільки ні «Вулкан» Міка Джексона, ні «Швидкість-2: контроль над круїзом» Яна де Бонта явно не оправдали глядацьких очікувань і навіть принесли істотні збитки студіям. Тому касовий збір у сумі $67,2 млн в США і $178,1 млн у світі, який був досягнутий «міцним середнячком», колишнім новозеландським постановником Роджером Дональдсоном (цікаво, що одним із продюсерів виявився режисер Джеф Мерфі, інший виходець із «зеленої країни», що пересилився у США), все-таки заслуговує уваги.

Тим більше що картина нічим особливим не відрізняється, і багато рецензентів встигли познущатись над надуманістю сюжетних колізій, завдяки яким живий та неушкоджений після усіх неймовірних ситуацій, що траплялися після виверження вулкану у сусідстві із гірським містечком з гордою назвою Пік Данте, виходить головна романтична пара (чоловік-вулканолог та жінка-мер). Не постраждали і двоє дітей героїні і, звичайно ж, собачка, яку всі рятують, ризикуючи власним життям. Загинуть же (серед інших, хто не індивідуалізований) морально проштрафований — шеф вулканолога, що не вірив у можливість катастрофи, і колишня свекруха жінки-мера, яка не хотіла залишати своє житло в горах, чим наразила на небезпеку життя онуків і головних героїв, що вирушили на їх пошуки.

Незважаючи на цей «сценарний балаган», стрічка майже стовідсотково вражає, змушуючи із задоволенням слідкувати за тим, як все руйнується, хто повинен уникнути смерті, буквально в останню секунду і лише на міліметр від небезпеки щасливо залишаються в живих. Не можна також не відмітити, що ірландський актор Пірс Броснан, який миттєво прославився після виконання ролі Джеймса Бонда в ще більш дурному та неправдоподібному «Золотому оці», втілює у «Піку Данте» героя з прізвищем Долтон (великий привіт колишньому виконавцю в бондіані!) і здається навіть живішим, ніж створений за новим комп'ютерним рецептом агент 007.

Цікаві факти
 Сценарій написав Леслі Боем («Будинок жахів», 1989; «Жах на вулиці В'язів 5: Дитя сну», 1989; «Нема виходу», 1993; «Дванадцять доларів», 1993; «Денне світло»; «Ніч ігуани», 2001). Цікаво, що Боем на початку 80-х років грав на бас-гітарі у відомому гурті «Sparks».
 Візуальними ефектами займався Кеннет Джонс («Дивні прибульці», 1983; «Місячна пастка», 1989; «Титанік», 1997; «Пастка для батьків», 1998; «Година пік», 1998; «Чого хочуть жінки», 2000; «Дуже страшне кіно 2», 2001)

The Korean War added a defensive dimension to this mind-control research. After harsh North Korean psychological torture forced American POWs to accuse their own country of war crimes, President Dwight Eisenhower orderedthat any serviceman subject to capture be given resistance training, which the Air Force soon dubbed with the acronym SERE (for survival, evasion, resistance, escape).
Once the Cold War ended in 1990, Washington resumed its advocacy of human rights, ratifying the U.N. Convention Against Torture in 1994, whichbanned the infliction of "severe" psychological and physical pain. The CIA ended its torture training in the Third World, and the Defense Department recalled Latin American counterinsurgency manuals that contained instructions for using harsh interrogation techniques. On the surface, then, Washington had resolved the tension between its anti-torture principles and its torture practices.
Apart from these Republican pressures, President Obama's own aggressive views on national security have contributed to an undeniable continuity with many of his predecessor's most controversial policies. Not only has hepreserved the controversial military commissions at Guantanamo and foughtthe courts to block civil suits against torture perpetrators, he has, above all, authorized continuing CIA rendition flights.
As the CIA expanded covert operations inside Somalia under Obama, its renditions of terror suspects from neighboring East African nations continuedjust as they had under Bush. In July 2009, for example, Kenyan police snatched an al-Qaeda suspect, Ahmed Abdullahi Hassan, from a Nairobi slum and delivered him to that city's airport for a CIA flight to Mogadishu. There he joined dozens of prisoners grabbed off the streets of Kenya inside "The Hole" — a filthy underground prison buried in the windowless basement of Somalia's National Security Agency. While Somali guards (paid for with U.S. funds) ran the prison, CIA operatives, reported the Nation's Jeremy Scahill, have open access for extended interrogation.
In an eerie parallel, Washington has reacted to the torture scandals of the Bush era by generally forgoing arrests and opting for no-fuss aerial assassinations. From 2005 to 2012, U.S. drone killings inside Pakistan rose from zero to a total of 2,400 (and still going up) — a figure disturbingly close to those 3,000 French assassinations in Algeria. In addition, it has now been revealed that the president himself regularly orders specific assassinations by drone in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia off a secret "kill list." Simultaneously, his administrationhas taken just one terror suspect into U.S. custody and has not added any new prisoners to Guantanamo, thereby avoiding any more clogging of the machinery of American justice.

The days are long and the night are even longer. It seems as though darkest and single are the prelude to my peculiar ponderances. Often times my mind draws a definite blank and then I have to start from scratch. I look out of the window at night up into the sky and I wonder can anybody see me from way up there. If they can I wonder what they actually think. I know I say life is short and you have to live for today but I wish I had some clue as to how things are suppose to go. Like a magic 8 ball so I could shake it and know all the answers to any question I had. I mean I hear music and the messages in the lyrics and wonder at what point does that line pop into the writer's head and they think "THIS IS THE ONE". When my mind wanders I wonder why it is I can not simply jot down what it is I am thinking and turn it into something powerful. I wonder why it is all this time I've never done anything besides copyright my poetry (all 500 + poems) or write my stories but never finish them. Why is it that at times my mind loses interest in the words I write? Dayum right now what I could use is some inspiration. I thought I had some but it flew away like the wind. Like a bird it caught flight and was whisked away into a whole other dimension. Why is it things never work out the way you planned? I just want to be passionate with the one soul in my life who can connect with me completely and freely of their own heart my mind body and soul. At the rate I'm going I wonder if that person really exists. Not the perfect person just that one piece to fit my puzzle. Why is it in the quiet of a single moment I cry for apparent reason at all? That's probably why I try not to be idle but today just seems to be one of those days. It's gotta get better than this.
