What is your ideal Saturday like? Snuggle in bed with my tea and my book for the first hour. FaceTime with my parents. The rest of the day is with my guy. Get a good work-out in at Equinox, Beverly Hills. Walk to lunch nearby at any of my favorite spots like Café M, Bouchon, Sugarfish, or Il Pastaio. Browse at some boutiques. Get a massage at Montage or of course, a mani-pedi at Bellacures. Come home to see my pups and dress for the evening. Try a new spot for dinner with friends.
Yes, nail art is the perfect pick-me-up, when I feel too grown-up or stuck in a routine. I don't experiment with my hair, so my nails are the perfect canvas for self-expression. I am a creative person, and I love the arts. So for me, it's literally art at my fingertips, allowing me to emulate any character from popular culture or one my favorite artists. I also play with themes and seasons…the options are limitless. I only have one rule – keep it classy. I still have to run meetings the next day.
A fresh pina-coco-mint mocktail. It's a refreshing, hydrating, yummy, and healthy. I carry mine to Bellacures. It's perfect for a weekend afternoon. Here's the recipe: ½ pineapple, 1 cup of ice, 2 cups chilled coconut water, 1 lime. Fresh mint. Mix pineapple, coconut water, lime juice, mint leaves, and ice and blend until super smooth. Pour into a clear plastic glass. Enjoy getting silly without your head feeling like a willy.
Depends on who I'm going with and in what season. If with my man, then rosy pinks. He loves soft pastels like Mademoiselle, Ballet Slippers. If with girls, then something bright like Coming Up Roses by Butter London.
Organic Oils from Whole Foods – Coconut, Almond, and Sesame – they are great for the hair and skin.
Some times, Yes. And at times, it's business up top and party on ground floor.
A shiny mani-pedi, a fresh blowout, and well-groomed brows.
Definitely Buy. Experts exist for a reason. I would much rather make someone feel special by writing them a nice note or painting them a card.
Akshaya Patra – they incentivize 1.5MM children living below the poverty line to continue with their primary education by providing them with freshly cooked meal on all school days.
I have long hair – love wearing it in different ways depending on my mood and the occasion. A high pony, low bun, French braid, a slick blowout, or naturally curly when I'm at the beach.

AO to make disallow 25% as assessee failed to provide details of expenses incurred to earn agricultural income
by CA Shivam Jaiswal in Income Tax, Legal Court Judgement
Facts and Issue of the Case
The facts of the case is that the assessee is an individual and derives income from salary and income from other sources and agricultural income. The assessee has filed his returned income on admitting total income of Rs.1,98,900/-. The case was selected for scrutiny assessment and notices under section 143(2) and 142(1) were issued from time to time. As there were no reply from the assessee a show cause notice was served on the assessee .
As there was no reply from the assessee, the AO made addition of Rs.37,11,028/- as unexplained income of the assessee and determined total income of Rs.39,09,928/-and also initiated penalty proceedings under section 271(1)(c) of the Act. Aggrieved against the assessee the assessee filed appeal before the ld.CIT(A), wherein the assessee filed written submissions along with application for additional evidence under Rule 46A of the Income Tax Rules, 1962 providing land ownership deals with supporting documents and also agriculture produce as well as certain bills. The ld.CIT(A) called for remand report from the AO.
Aggrieved against the same, the assessee is before us in second appeal. The sole ground raised by the assessee is that the ld.CIT(A) has erred in confirming addition of Rs.37,11,028/- considering the same was unexplained income, such addition is required to be deleted. The ld.counsel for the assessee pleaded that the assessee is an individual and semi-literate persons, and he did not understand the implications of the notice issued by the AO, which resulted in ex parte assessment. However, during the appellate proceedings, the assessee has produced all the details of land ownership with supporting documents, and also agriculture produce and also sales bills by party-wise. Therefore, the AO is not correct in making addition on account of agriculture income of Rs.37,11,028/-, as income from other source, which is not permissible under the law. The ld.AR also further submitted that the ld.CIT(A) has not appreciated the facts properly and notice issued to the agriculture traders has nothing to do with quantification of agriculture crops and thereby the ld.CIT(A) confirmed the addition made by the AO which is required to be deleted. Further, the ld.AR brought to our attention that the assessment year 2015-16, the assessee admitted 10% disallowance in agriculture income, the same was accepted and disallowed by the AO vide order dated 22.12.2017 passed under section 143(3) of the Act.
Per contra, the ld.DR appearing for the Revenue supported the orders of the lower authorities and further held that no proof for payment of labour, seeds and other expenses giving rise to the agriculture income, were produced by the assessee before the appellate authorities also. Therefore, the entire disallowance is to be upheld and thereby dismiss the appeal of the assessee.
Observation by the Court
The court have given our thoughtful consideration and perused the material available on record including paper book filed by the assessee. It is an admitted fact that the assessee filed belated return of income for the Asstt.Year 2013-14 declaring of Rs.1,98,900/- wherein agriculture income of Rs.37,11,028/- was also claimed. During the course of regular assessment proceedings, in spite of various notices, the assessee has not furnished any details thereby the AO treated the expenses as unexplained income and added to the income of the assessee. During the appellate proceedings before the ld.CIT(A), the assessee filed land ownership details with supporting documents and agriculture produce sales bills made to four parties as additional documents before the ld.CIT(A) by invoking Rule 46A of the IT Rules. The ld.CIT(A) has called for remand report from the AO, wherein the AO reported that the additional expenses were only of Rs.4,68,140/- and sale consideration received was Rs.39,80,268/-. Percentage of expenses claimed to be incurred was 11.76% only and the expenses claimed were towards labour for sale only, which has been deducted by the broker from the gross sale consideration.
No details have been received from the traders to whom sale of agriculture produce is stated to be sold. The assessee also not furnished any proof of purchase of seeds, fertilizer payments etc. Bills produced for sales only stated that payment of Rs.4,68,140./- were deducted on account of off-loading and labour charges for goods sold. It is not possible to have agriculture produce without incurring such expenses. So the claim of the assessee is misleading in the absence of any details of procurement of seeds, fertilisers, water facilities, labour charges, and therefore, no agriculture activities can be said to be done. Further, in the form no.7/12, there is no details of farming being done by the assessee and the nature of the crops, and the quantification of the land, has not been mentioned. Hence, the claim of entire agriculture income is required to be treated as income from undisclosed income. In the rejoinder to the remand report, the assessee raised a pertinent question viz. the details of expenditure and quantification of goods cannot be questioned that too from the purchasers/traders of the goods. The purchasers are general merchant and commission agents, and they are not farmers from whom, the AO can expect details as mentioned above. Further, the ld.CIT(A) in his order held that it was quite evident that genuineness of the expenditure incurred for earning agriculture income and receipt from sale of agriculture produce is not established, and proved by the assessee. Therefore, the addition made by the AO on account of unexplained agriculture income is confirmed. We find that both authorities are not correct in holding that entire income as admitted by the assessee for having not proved, details of expenditure incurred to be treated as an unexplained income of the assessee. As pleaded by the ld.AO for assessee's own case for the Asstt.Year 2015-16 on assessee's admission, the same agriculture income at 10% was agreed to be disallowed by the assessee against returned agricultural income of Rs.21,68,400/-.
The same was accepted by the AO, and passed assessment under section 143(3) of the Act on 22.12.2017. Taking into consideration various opportunities given to the assessee, and the fact that the assessee had not explained the expenses incurred in earning the agriculture income of Rs.37,11,028/-, it is appropriate to make a disallowance at 25% of the expenses incurred for earning this agriculture income seems to be reasonable and meet the ends of justice. Thus, we direct the AO to make a disallowance to the extent of 25% of the expenditure on account of earning of agriculture income and pass an order accordingly. Accordingly, the appeal of the assessee is allowed partly in the above terms.
The appeal of the assessee is partly allowed by the court.

Tools for Power Exchange
Find Your Home in Kink
By anton August 14, 2021 August 14, 2021 Announcement, Community, Essay
Perhaps the least-expected benefit I've gotten out of being a lifelong pervert with twisted and taboo desires is that I have never lacked for friends.
So many people don't have that. You hear them talk about how, since they left school, it's so hard to meet anyone or make friends or meaningful connections: it's work, then home, then work again. There have been a lot of articles written lamenting the increasing alienation of modern life. Surveys keep finding that more and more people have no friends at all.
I am far from the most outgoing person. I often have a hard time being chatty, and my brain can find every excuse not to strike up a conversation with a stranger. And yet, in my entire adult life I've always had at least a few really close friends, a thriving tribe of buddies and acquaintances, and ample prospects for love, sex, companionship and connection.
And the reason is kink. Kinky people have created a remarkable network of opportunities for social connection. We're not the only group to do this: some other subcultures have it too, but that's not the point right now.
The idea of a munch is so simple and many people think of them as boring or basic, but remember that most people don't have anything like that. I've travelled to a small town in New Zealand, half a world away from where I live, and with a bit of Internet poking around and a few exchanged messages I've ended up sharing a convivial meal with cool people with whom I had something in common and lots to talk about. At home, I have a regular social space I can go to, to see familiar faces and make new friends. Helping to organize kink clubs and classes and parties gives me projects to collaborate on with other members of my community, and I don't know many better ways of building connections than that.
Even Fetlife, for all that it can feel like a meat market for anonymous online fantasists sometimes, is still more human in scale and easier to make new friends through than massive networks like Facebook or Twitter. There are people who I know through their participation here and who I can banter back and forth with and feel a real connection with even if we never meet in person. Beyond Fetlife, there are other smaller online social hubs dedicated to kink where people make long-term friends, share emotional support and witness one another's triumphs and challenges.
I've seen kink community play out through the Covid-19 crisis, both in good ways and hard ways. See how keenly many people are feeling the loss of being able to go to their munches and conferences, not just because they want to play but because those are their people: those are the spaces where they feel at home and among friends. Also see how kinky people have reached out to build new online networks and support one another from afar. Online classes and parties and conferences just exploded over the past couple years, I'm on a couple of kinky Discord servers that are consistently bubbling with conversation, camaraderie and mutual support—where people are making real friendships and even partnerships.
If I weren't kinky, I have no idea where I would have found resources like that through the pandemic, and the non-kinky folks I know largely haven't found anything similar. Most of them depended on work for social contact outside of their families, and most of them have been painfully lonely.
So take a moment to appreciate that kink community isn't just a mechanism for finding play dates. That may well be the primary motivation that led kinky people to develop such a bustling network of communities, but they end up giving us much more.
If you feel like you're on the outside of this looking in—if you're cruising Fetlife looking for playdates, getting no responses or nothing but fuckboys—you've gotta understand that you don't automatically get kink community just for being kinky, or just for logging in to Fetlife. You get it by treating kink like a community.
Broaden your focus from finding a partner or a playdate, and talk to people just to get to know them—even people who you don't want to play with! Care about their lives, and share about your own.
Look for the more social spaces (Fet groups or other sites or local groups) where people are chatting like they know one another, not just hunting for play or trading barbs between Internet strangers. Look for places to participate, whether online or in person. Take every opportunity you can to help out, volunteer, and be a part of making things happen.
And understand that there isn't one monolithic worldwide kink community. There's a mishmash of lots of different little communities with different customs and different feels. Fetlife isn't a community, but you can find many communities through Fetlife. So if you start investigating a community and find that it isn't for you, don't say "Kink community sucks," and give up. Just look for a different one that fits you better.
If Master/slave dynamics are your thing, you've got a community-building opportunity coming up this Labor Day weekend in the form of the MsC Worldwide online Master/slave conference. I'll be presenting Playing With Jealousy Without Getting Burned on Saturday! Sign up for classes by a wide range of impressive educators, and also to drop in to the social rooms and make a new friend.

New TUC and GMB passports will help 54,000 disabled people in Wales get the support they need at work
New TUC analysis reveals nearly one million disabled people across the UK changed their jobs or fell out of work last year
54,290 were in Wales
The TUC and the GMB are launching a model passport to make sure disabled people have the adjustments they need to flourish at work
The TUC and the GMB have launched a new disability passport to help nearly one million (946,010) disabled people who fall out of work or switch employers each year to get the support they need.
Disabled people can leave their jobs for many reasons. One preventable reason is when employers fail to carry out their legal duty to make – and keep in place – the reasonable adjustments their disabled staff need to do their jobs.
With one in 10 (390,808) disabled people dropping out of work and one in seven (555,190) finding new employment every year, the TUC and the GMB believe it is vital to find a more successful and unified way of agreeing and recording what modifications need to be put in place.
So the TUC and the GMB have produced a model reasonable adjustments employer agreement, for reps to agree with their employer, and a template reasonable adjustments passport, to capture what adjustments have been put in place to eliminate barriers in the workplace.
These adjustments could include: providing specially adapted equipment (like a chair, desk or computer), temporarily changing the duties of the job, changing break times or working patterns, or allowing flexible working or time off for medical appointments.
When the adjustments are agreed, the passport is signed by everyone. The document can be reviewed at regular intervals and means disabled people don't have to explain their requirements every time their line manager changes, or they change roles within their organisation.
Wales TUC Policy Officer Rhianydd Williams said: "Disabled people face many barriers when it comes to finding good, rewarding jobs. Employers must do more to make the reasonable adjustments they need.
"Disabled workers live with the constant threat of losing their reasonable adjustments every time their boss or job changes.
"The TUC and the GMB's passport is an ideal place to officially and clearly record what adjustments have been agreed, so disabled workers aren't going back to the starting line every time they get a new manager or role."
Number of disabled people changing employers or dropping out of work last year
Disabled employees who have been with current employer less than a year
Disabled people not in work who left their last job within the last year
Total disabled people changing jobs or leaving work in last year
Figures: 4-quarter average for the latest quarters (Q4 2017-Q3 2018) from the ONS Labour Force Survey.
- There are 3.9 million disabled people in work.
- When a workplace feature or practice puts a worker or job applicant with a disability at a disadvantage, the employer has a duty under the Equality Act 2010 to see what reasonable adjustments can be made. An employer who fails to meet their legal duty under the Equality Act 2010 to make reasonable adjustments is in breach of the law and could be taken to an Employment Tribunal.

Spring has sprung - it's time to de-clutter your life!
"Clutter: a disorderly heap or assemblage; litter"
Spring is almost here—at last! The trees and flowers are starting to bloom, the birds are singing and we can finally shake off the winter gloom and start enjoying some finer weather and longer evenings.
This month at Here To Help we are focusing on helping people to de-clutter their lives. It's not always an easy task but once you have done it, you will feel a whole lot better! De-cluttering is a fantastic way of getting rid of the old to make room for the new and many people find that having a good clear out—whether at home, in your office or even in your life— is a terrific way to start again and it often gives us renewed focus and helps us to feel energized and positive.
If we are surrounded by clutter every day it can make us feel physically and mentally disorganized, leaving us feeling unfocused and unmotivated. Clutter even blocks creativity! Whether you believe in feng shui or not, de-cluttering our lives really is a fantastic way to feel lighter and happier and it gives us a renewed sense of purpose.
Some of us have been hanging on to the same things literally for years—our attics are full of memorabilia, old clothes, gifts we didn't use or want, junk that we have brought from house to house with us but couldn't bear to part with...sometimes knowing that all this "stuff" is up there in the attic is too overwhelming and we cannot bear the thought of tackling it!
Skip It! If you have an attic/garage full of clutter then organize to have a skip delivered— once that skip arrives you have to follow through on your promise to yourself to sort it all out!
Sort It! Sort the clutter into piles of "must keep" and "must throw away" - resolving to make the "must throw away" pile considerably larger than the "must keep" pile!
Store It! If you don't have adequate storage for the things you really want to keep, it is a good idea to get some storage solutions sorted before you start...IKEA and home stores such as Homestore & More, Homebase and Argos offer great storage solutions and the big plus is that they don't cost that much to buy. Two key items to consider buying if you are looking for some practical storage solutions, are different sized plastic boxes with lids and lots of bags for vacuum packing—essential when storing those clothes you really can't part with! If you want to find some prettier storage items for areas that will be on display such as in kitchens or living rooms, wicker baskets and faux leather boxes look great in any room and don't cost the earth.
Okay! That's the physical stuff sorted...but what about the more difficult emotional clutter that we hold on to? How do we tackle that?
For some of us, it's not just about de-cluttering our physical belongings and possessions. Many people find it hard to "let go" of negative situations or emotions and can hold on to them for weeks, months or even years. We often find it very difficult to let go of feelings such as anger, resentment, sadness or frustration particularly about situations or things that we had no control over. We often struggle to let go of painful feelings such as loss and hurt when a relationship ends and it is sometimes difficult to let go of feelings of anger about the particularly tough moments in our lives...for example, when we lose our job or our financial circumstances change it can often be hard to stop feeling so hurt and upset and to find instead a way to let go of those negative emotions which stop us from moving forward.
When our brain is filled with negative clutter, we can replay the same scene over and over in our head until we are exhausted...we question ourselves endlessly, asking what could I have done differently? Could I have said something that might have changed that situation? Could I have changed the outcome?
Sometimes the pain of a certain situation stops us from moving on. We remain "locked" in a state of negativity and tell ourselves things like, "there is no point trying to meet someone else, that didn't work out so why would it work out with someone new?" or "what's the point in putting myself out there again when I'm just risking getting hurt all over again?" or "I'll never find another job like that one, it's hopeless".
If our brain is full of negative thoughts and emotions, it is often hard to break the cycle and start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Negative thinking becomes a pattern of thought repeated over and over again. Some people believe that this negativity will help them to win sympathy or gain support, so they continue to do it (read my blog on Energy Vampires). Often, people go through their entire lives blaming the one incident that happened 20 years ago for everything else that has gone wrong ever since. But, if we can break the cycle and turn our negative thoughts into positive ones, we can get rid of all that negative clutter in our brain which stops us from moving on and embracing life the way we are supposed to!
To do this we need to acknowledge the things that went wrong in our life and accept that, although some of the situations we have had to face in life were difficult and often very challenging, we can learn from them and find a way to move forward and make changes in our life for the better. If we can clear our emotional clutter, it leaves a wide open space for beautiful, new and amazing experiences to come into our life to fill us with renewed energy and zest. We are here to love our life and enjoy all the great things it can bring us!
De-cluttering is good for the mind, body and soul and can help us improve our quality of life not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually too.
You are absolutely right; Clutter even blocks creativity!. You always share informative part of topic. I hope you will be sharing this type of topic soon.

Melissa Leo, Margaret Qualley Star As Devout Nuns in Novitiate
by Zachary Weiss

For many, last night's Cinema Society screening of Novitiate began as a vocabulary lesson that harkened back to childhood years spent at Sunday school. The film's medieval Latin title refers to the religious sisters who have not yet taken their official vows, which, at one point in history, required full divestment of their possessions and little contact with the outside world. In short, the novitiate are new nuns, and in the film, the newest is the wide-eyed and newly devout Sister Cathleen.
Played by Margaret Qualley, the starring role comes as an about-face from her turn as the rebellious Jill Garvey in HBO's The Leftovers, and to ensure Qualley and her costars were in the proper mindset of a cloistered nun, director Maggie Betts sent them away to, as she deemed it, "nun camp 101." "We stayed over for a few nights in the convent, mostly for fun, but we did abide by the rules," Qualley, in Miu Miu, told Vogue. "We all ate dinner in silence, which was kind of awesome, actually, because there aren't any extraneous noises or distractions like the TV or your phone. It was peaceful." Alongside Qualley are many names you'll recognize, like Dianna Agron, Julianne Nicholson, and Academy Award winner Melissa Leo.
Leo plays the convent's harsh den mother, charged with implementing the Second Vatican Council's decree of progressive reforms drafted between 1962 and 1965 that ultimately changed the course of many nuns' daily lives, allowing them to interact with the public and simplifying the silhouette of their unmistakable garb. "There's something about the costume of a nun, and a child's imagination, that the role really sort of stuck with me," Leo said. "These woman make an amazing commitment to have faith in something unseen."
To complete the group of strong-willed women on hand for the evening were producers Celine Rattray and Trudie Styler, who convened following the screening at the nearby Lambs Club for a Miu Miu–mounted fete. "Celine and I are always looking for female-driven content to empower women in film," Styler told us. The entrepreneur and wife of crooner Sting has a whopping 30 producer credits under her own Maven Pictures in addition to her notable acting chops. "When Maggie [Betts] brought us this project, we were overjoyed to see that is really, entirely a female cast."


A look at marketing needs for the 21st century in light of globalization.
This paper provides a comprehensive understanding of the various factors that affect marketing management in the modern world. It attempts to identify issues that might be critical to the economic health of a company. It explores how factors such as slowing sales growth and shorter product life cycles have changed all the industries considered and shows how intense rivalry to launch new products first into the market exists. It also examines how the three main factors in selecting any strategy are moral significance, power and influence the organization wielded, and urgency of the situation.

fanatix | American Football | NFL | San Francisco 49ers star NaVorro Bowman happy with new rule, but "doesn't fix my knee"
San Francisco 49ers star NaVorro Bowman happy with new rule, but "doesn't fix my knee"
Sumeet Paul
Bowman suffered a torn ACL and won't return until mid-way through 2014 season.
San Francisco 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman has revealed that he is pleased the NFL reviewed the loose-ball recovery review rule, but is still upset he has suffered a serious knee injury prior to it coming into effect.
Bowman suffered a torn ACL in January while attempting to recover a fumble during the 49ers' loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game, and while he clearly appeared to have gained control of the ball, the officials ruled that Seattle maintained possession and the play was not reviewed.
However, NFL owners voted last week to allow replays of loose-ball recoveries, which has been named the "NaVorro Bowman Rule", and while the San Francisco star is happy the change is made, he is upset that it's taken his injury to introduce it.
"That doesn't fix my knee," Bowman said during a recent interview with the San Jose Mercury News. "But [the wrong call] won't happen anymore."
Bowman isn't expected to return until midway through the upcoming season, although the 49ers have been boosted by the fact that he is ahead in his recovery schedule.
The two-time Pro Bowler revealed that he has watched replays of the incident which resulted in his knee injury, but is eager to get back to full fitness and return to playing rather than holding a grudge.
Bowman recorded 145 tackles, five sacks and two interceptions last season, and will likely be a significant boost to the team during the campaign as they look to bounce back from the disappointment of missing out on the Super Bowl last year.

You may also want to consider group homes for troubled youth or boarding schools for troubled teens, or ranches for boys, or reform schools, because military schools are generally not designed for troubled teens. Military schools offer young men the ability to develop academically, personally, and socially into a confident and prepared leader. But military schools are not always the right choice for every young man. While military schools offer structure, and academic and athletic discipline in a controlled and monitored environment, military school is not intended to act as a rehabilitation program. And military schools do not offer the type of behavior counseling support needed to properly rehabilitate troubled young men with criminal pasts who need to reform their belief systems and their conduct. Military schools are looking for young men who want to prepare themselves for a future in a collegiate, military, or professional setting.


In the Merriam-Webster dictionary, volunteer is defined both as a noun and a verb. As a noun, a volunteer is "a person who voluntarily undertakes or expresses a willingness to undertake a service." As a verb, volunteer can be, "to offer or bestow voluntarily." As we celebrate National Volunteer Week from April 7-13, I'd like to offer my thanks to the many wonderful people who volunteer in our local schools throughout the year.
In 1974 President Richard Nixon signed an executive order declaring a week dedicated to those who charitably give their time. He said volunteerism was "one of the hallmarks of American life," and urged "all Americans to observe that week by seeking out an area in their community in which they can give to a needy individual or worthy cause by devoting a few hours, or more, to volunteer service." Since then, all U.S. presidents have renewed the pledge.
Volunteers are indispensable not only for our schools, but also for our society as a whole.
So, what do these volunteers bestow voluntarily? I would say the two major things are time and dedication. At Rose Springs Elementary and throughout the District, we have many parents, grandparents, and community members who volunteer their time in a variety of ways. Some volunteers physically come to our schools, while others volunteer their time outside of the school helping students and teachers in whatever ways they can. Such volunteers are dedicated to the work they are doing.
As we celebrate National Volunteer Week, I encourage you to find ways to help at your local school. Whether at an elementary or secondary level, I guarantee your help will be well-received and appreciated. I also guarantee you will feel a sense of accomplishment and happiness as you volunteer.
For ideas on how you can volunteer in your local schools read the Kids Health article, "Getting Involved at Your Child's School," https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/school.html.
Whether through the school district or the community, volunteers do amazing work and deserve our recognition. I want to express my sincere appreciation for the people and causes that inspire us to serve, recognizing and thanking volunteers who lend their time, talent and voice to make a difference in our community.


This new blog series, is about the bingeable, the shows that you can watch in one sitting – or two. Perhaps not the latest of series, these are what I've been binging on lately – and been enjoying.
I must admit I was wary to start The Punisher, mainly because I was a big fan of the character from the second season of Daredevil, my fave after only Elektra, and I was nervous about Frank Castle getting his own show, especially after the debacle that Iron Fist was, but nevertheless I embarked on watching it.
Boy, I really loved it.
I loved it like I loved Jessica Jones, and that's saying a lot.
The problems with the Marvel/Netflix shows are well-documented – there are too many episodes, the villains are flimsy, and there are always too many stories happening at the same time. But while I do think The Punisher would have been better if the season was shorter, it had a compelling enough to story to keep me hooked right through.
The Punisher follows Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) after his stint on Daredevil whereby he escaped prison and faked his death in order to pursue those who had his family murdered. This takes him to an operation that involves the higher ups in the American government, a conspiracy and cover ups upon cover ups. While the story and motives are lacking at points, and fails to tell a story that we haven't seen before, what The Punisher does well is tell an excellent story of PTSD and what it is like returning home for soldiers.
I enjoyed Jessica Jones because it was so much more than a superhero show, it tells the story of female oppression and sexual assault, and the same with The Punisher – it featured the very real pain of PTSD and gun violence. There was a lot of talk when The Punisher was released because of Frank Castle's penchant for violence (especially with guns) and many in the alt-right taking The Punisher as their unofficial icon, but the show employs a lot of nuance in undertaking the gun issue – showing how in the hands of the wrong person it can cause havoc, but also explaining why some people feel safer with a gun. There is even a full on debate between a senator and Daredevil''s Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) about gun control which is interesting.
An excellent example of how this story is developed is via Lewis (Daniel Webber), a former soldier, who comes back from war – broken, angry and a need to release the pent-up rage he has inside – we see him dealing with this, with the help of Frank and Billy's friend Curtis who runs a support group. Lewis is seen as the extreme, but we also see Billy (Ben Barnes), Frank and Curtis (Jason R. Moyle) dealing with the horrors of war in their own ways, and how what they did in the battlefield still affects everything that they do.
It's no secret that Jon Bernthal is an excellent actor – from the action scenes to the pain to even the lighter scenes – he brings his A-game and I can fully see him playing excellent lead roles in films and TV in the future, The Punisher was an excellent showcase of his abilities. We were introduced to Frank Castle, the revenge-machine in Daredevil, but The Punisher gave us a look at Frank Castle, the man. We meet his wife and children through flashbacks, we learn more about his love for them, we learn about his friendship with Curtis and Billy and why they have such an important bond, we see him wrestling for his ambiguous feelings for Karen Page (I ship it, obviously).
The best relationship, however, is between Frank and David aka Micro, who form an alliance to take down the bad guys who both of them faked their deaths to escape. They work together, become vulnerable with each other, share details of their lives, argue, laugh, it's an interesting and compelling dynamic between two men who wouldn't have spent time together if it was not for dire circumstance.
Ben Barnes is also exceptionally good as Billy Russo, the problematic villain that doubles up as Frank Castle's best friend, and when we see flashbacks of their friendship (especially the time that Billy spent with Frank's family) the betrayal hurts even more.

Montana State's Innovative Wellness Center Breaks Ground
Construction has begun on the university's innovative new student facility.
Words by: DesignWell staff • Photos by: MMW Architects and RDG Planning and Design
Montana State University has broken ground for a facility that student body President Norris Blossom is saying will have a transformational impact on student life at MSU. In fact, the new student wellness center, was so important to the MSU students that a vote to fund the building came even as many were still attending classes remotely due to the pandemic, according to Montana State University.
The vote won out by a margin of two-to-one (66% for and 34% against).
A Facility Years in the Making
Following the collapse of two gymnasium roofs due to historic snow loads in March 2019, students were able to voice their opinions on what they wanted to see in replacement facilities. The event ultimately became the impetus for the current facility project, according to MSU President Waded Cruzado, providing a "whole new vision in student health and wellness."
Norris Blossom, president of the Associated Students of Montana State University (ASMSU), along with Cruzado and members of MSU administration, design, engineering and architectural partners and contractors shovel earth in the ceremony of the Student Wellness Center groundbreaking, Tuesday, Sept. 21, 2021, outside the Marga Hosaeus Fitness Center at Montana State University in Bozeman, Mont.

"This will be more than a fitness center," Blossom told the audience assembled on the lawn outside the Marga Hosaeus Fitness Center for the groundbreaking. "This facility will combine all aspects of wellness in one location accessible to all."
With the construction now having officially begun, the project is expected to take two years to complete. When open, the facility will provide a one-stop-shop for fitness, recreation and physical and mental health resource. In addition the facility will co-locate and enlarge many student health services scattered across campus and will also house labs for research in the College of Education, Health and Human Development.
Providing construction serves for the project moving forward will be MMW Architects in partnership with RDG Planning and Design and Jackson Contractor Group.
Exploring the Resources at the Wellness Center
Blossom said that among the "monumental resources" of the new building will be a larger climbing wall, an updated swimming pool, indoor sports courts and spaces for fitness and group exercise.
In addition, three MSU students spoke at the groundbreaking, each detailing how the facility will impact students.
Grace French, a sophomore in mechanical engineering from Pleasanton, California, and president of the Women's Lacrosse club, highlighted how the facility will be expanding the courts and fields used by nearly 40 separates organizations at MASU, placing special on the importance of year-round physical fitness to the student body.
Justin Whitten, a doctoral student in exercise science from Chaska, Minnesota, Expressed enthusiasm for the collaborative labs space the wellness center will be providing for graduate research students.
And Jack Larson, a junior majoring in mechanical engineering from Rapid City, South Dakota, said consolidating in one location MSU's mental health and psychological services, its fitness and wellness facilities, and medical and dental health into a "one-stop shop" will benefit all MSU students.
As Larson put it, the pandemic was a catalyst that emphasized the importance of student mental health. "We have to look out for each other. That is the Bobcat way."
