According to recent research, 73% of the public are failing to exercise in accordance to Government recommendations of 5 times a week for a minimum of 30 minutes a time, with 65% of people blaming a 'lack of time' for their inactivity.
Recent research by a leading European health and sports nutrition company has revealed that 73% of people are unhappy with their appearance and general health. Of the 1,376 people polled, just 30% of people exercised in accordance to Government recommendations of more than 2.5 hours a week, with 25% saying that they put no time aside for exercise whatsoever.
When asked to explain the factors preventing them from exercise, 65% of people listed 'lack of time', with just over 40% claiming that they 'did not enjoy exercise'. 32% answered this multiple answer question with the fact that they had 'better things to do' than adhere to guidelines in place to prevent life-threatening diseases such as Type II Diabetes, which can lead amongst other things to heart disease.
In the comprehensive survey commissioned by www.myprotein.co.uk, gender response was mixed, with females accounting for 52% of the respondents.
When asked, "If you feel you could eat healthier, which of the following are applicable to you?" 42% of people claim to "eat too much", with 24% claiming to eat according to those around them, with explanations for this figure showing that treats in the office are largely responsible. A shocking 22% said that they were "unaware of the right sort of foods" they should be eating.
In response to the question, "Have you ever embarked on a deprivation diet in a bid to lose weight, where you have cut out food groups rather than eat healthier?" 38% of respondents claimed that they had embarked on a diet more than once, with the majority claiming to have followed Atkins-esque diets, by cutting out carbohydrates altogether.
Interestingly, 3% of the females quizzed admitted to using sports supplements such as low in carbohydrate, high protein shakes and bars to replace meals throughout a so-called 'deprivation diet', in a bid to reduce calorie intake, with 27% of males alleging to have bought and used a sports supplement in the past alongside an exercise regime. 32% of people said they currently take multivitamins, and a further 24% stated that they had taken them in the past.
Myprotein also stock health supplements such as Glucosamine and Multivitamins.

UAE Economy
Kuwait eyes subsidies and tariff cuts to curb inflation
Ahmed Baqer (SUPPLIED)
Kuwait's Government unveiled yesterday a proposal to combat record inflation that would cut import duties on food and increase subsidies, but faces pressure from parliament to hike state salaries as well.
Rising prices are a political hot potato in the only Gulf oil exporter that does not peg its currency to the weak dollar.
Inflation topped 10 per cent in February, prompting popular demands for the state to spend its $43 billion (Dh158bn) surplus to offset rising food and rental costs.
Commerce and Industry Minister Ahmad Baqer told the newly-elected parliament, which has demanded immediate action on inflation, that the global rise in commodities prices, population growth and the country's reliance on food imports were to blame for the rising cost of living.
"The government has understood the negative effects of Kuwait's inflation, which has taken an upward trajectory recently," he said.
"Tackling this phenomenon is a national task that requires the government to continue to take the necessary measures."
As well as reducing import duties and transport costs on food products, the proposal would both increase the value of state subsidies and the number of subsidised products.
Baqer also proposed an increase in farm subsidies in Kuwait and said the government could work with other Gulf states to invest in food production and farming to secure food supplies to a region that is largely desert.
Gulf states are looking to invest in farming countries to boost food security.

DRESDEN, Germany (AP) — Thousands of Germans took part Monday in a protest organized by the anti-Islam group PEGIDA, almost one year after it held its first rally in the eastern city of Dresden.
Police declined to provide a crowd count for the protest, which passed peacefully. An AP reporter estimated the crowd at about 7,000-8,000.
Speakers including PEGIDA co-founder Lutz Bachmann denounced the decision of German Chancellor Angela Merkel government's decision to take in hundreds of thousands of refugees, many of whom are fleeing conflicts in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq.
"They are leading us straight into a European civil war," Bachmann told the crowd in front of Dresden's famous Semperoper opera house. Protesters responded with chants of "Merkel must go" and calls to deport refugees. One protester carried a mock gallows with two hangman's nooses, marked "Reserved for Angela Merkel" and "Reserved for Sigmar Gabriel," her deputy.
PEGIDA, the German acronym for "Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West," has seen a fresh rise in support in recent months, though rallies remain smaller than their peak of 25,000 in January.
Tatjana Festerling, a speaker who earlier this year received almost 10 percent of the vote as PEGIDA's candidate in the Dresden mayoral elections, suggested that the state of Saxony should split from the rest of Germany. Saxony has seen some of the most violent protests against refugees in recent months.
Some in the crowd waved Hungarian and Russian flags and chanted "Merkel to Siberia, Putin to Berlin."
Most declined to speak to reporters, referring to them as "lying press," a term favored by Nazi propagandists such as Joseph Goebbels.

Rock has the most natural outlook, strudiest but also the most expensive form of patio materials. It require good skills to install since each stone greatly differs in shape and size. Additionally , mortar compound is used to adjoin these stones and settle as they dry. It really is designed to wear well in high-traffic, need little maintenance and can last for decades. Stone veneer generally contains most of the benefits and advantages of real stone in fact it is comparatively a lighter form of patio materials and less pricey. Stone veneer can easily be slice with most common types of saws. Generally, most people will lay out their veneer pieces in advance so they can cut pieces to fit in odd spots before you go.

EXCLUSIVE! 'I Actually Have A Punching Bag and Gloves At Home' – Sunny Leone
Alshaar 4 min read
Almost every man pictures his dream girl as a sports enthusiast, one who's willing to take on new ventures, and has is as in-the-moment as she is farsighted. Well, Sunny Leone is your dream girl come alive.
We recently met her at the Super Boxing League that features a team owned by the actress. She said she was extremely excited about adopting her daughter Nisha last month but avoided any other questions about her.
However, she did discuss her long-term goals in India, ticking an item from her bucket list after starring in a new item song Piya More with Emraan Hashmi for Baadshaho and even recalling her boxing days. Excerpts:
We've heard you're a sports enthusiast but why boxing? Talk about your association with the Super Boxing League.
I love boxing! I have always been so fond of boxing. I've taken personal lessons from an extremely famous boxer called Terry 'Terrible' Norris. He's a champion who still teaches in Los Angeles. I loved taking boxing classes. I actually have a bag and gloves in my house. I think it's not only a great workout but it's of fun to be able to sometimes take your aggression out on the bag.
At @superboxingleague yesterday where my team @opmsultans battled against Delhi Gladiators!! Whooo hoo ✌ #SunnyLeone #boxing
A post shared by Sunny Leone (@sunnyleone) on Jul 29, 2017 at 12:07am PDT
We saw you in the new item song in Baadshaho right now. Is that going to be the approach for you or are you planning to take up more meaty roles in Bollywood?
Piya More was a song I was asked to be a part of, and getting to work with Emraan Hashmi is, you know, like an item on the bucket list. If I can go through my time in Bollywood and work with amazing people and with different actors, then that's great. I don't know when it's going to end or start, or what's going to happen tomorrow, I don't really think of it as hard as some other people do. I look at it as I get to work with Emraan. I get to work on a great film, it's a really nice song so that's an easy decision for me to make.
#PiyaMore from @Baadshaho out today at 11 AM! So excited 😊😍
A post shared by Sunny Leone (@sunnyleone) on Jul 24, 2017 at 7:23pm PDT
So is it more of a short-term goal?
Yeah, I think if you work hard and you do so every single day and there are long-term goals and you take each step every single day towards that, then those are your long-term goals.
But there is no defined long-term goal for you at the moment in terms of Bollywood?
Yeah, I'm here. I want to stay here. There are a few films that I have in my bag right now, which will hopefully start.
@dirrty99 and Bella! ❤❤❤ #SunnyLeone
A post shared by Sunny Leone (@sunnyleone) on Jun 21, 2017 at 6:30am PDT
Can you tell us about some of your future projects?
The one that's coming out soon is called Tera Intezaar, which is with Arbaaz Khan. That will come out in the next couple of months. I also have two other films that I'm working towards.
Is there anything exciting that we can look forward to?
Yes, I'm launching my own cosmetic line, it's called Starstruck by Sunny Leonne and we're coming out with lipsticks, lip glosses and lip liners. So these are my long-term goals. With movies, we make them, film them, they release on a Friday. But the long-term goals are more about business and I think India is one of the most emerging markets in the entire world right now. And if you have that entrepreneurial drive then India is the oyster.
Here's some ❤ from the ravishing @sunnyleone to cure your #Monday Blues. More about owning a team at the @superboxingleague, passion for sports, and her upcoming films on our website.

A quick blog from Meise, Belgium at the Pro-iBiosphere wrap-up event.
I've had a lot of great feedback and interest in what I'm doing with this.
Cyndy Parr has pointed out that EOL are on Flickr too, and have been marking-up photographs of taxa with 'machine tags'.
Jeremy Miller from Naturalis is also very interested in OA Zootaxa content from the point of view of spiders. He gave a talk on Data Visualization on behalf of his team from the Leiden hackday. Luckily, with no prior 'special' mark-up, by searching 'Araneae' I could show Jeremy the promise of what I'm doing on Flickr. Many phylogenies containing spider taxa came up in the search, many of which he immediately recognized as from his own open access publications! With a little bit of work to further mark-up the attributes he's interested in, I might be able to provide something of real use – the ability to search figure images/captions across hundreds of open access journals, from many different publishers with just ONE search!
The Bouchout Declaration will be launched today at this meeting. I'm happy to say I facilitated the signing of this declaration by Open Knowledge. Many other organisations have signed this declaration and I hope it makes a splash – we need science to be open to do good science!
Finally, I've also potentially got a new research collaboration going (more of which later!).
It's been well worth the trip!

One of the most important things an individual can do for themselves is to create a comprehensive estate plan. No matter a person's financial situation, it is important for them to take measures to protect their assets after they are gone. An important component of every estate plan is the creation of a will. This legal document functions to allow an individual to dictate how they would like their estate to be handled after they pass. Of course, it can be an emotional thing to think about but it is truly quite important. Also important is the attorney you choose when it comes time to create your will. The legal team at JD Katz has this skills needed to provide you with effective and compassionate support throughout the creation of your estate plan. If you need an experienced Maryland estate planning attorney, contact JD Katz today to schedule a consultation. We are prepared to handle all estates and know how important this step is to preserve your assets.
As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. At JDKatz, we believe in planning ahead to avoid crises rather than waiting for them to happen and then responding to them. By taking this approach, we are able to bring our clients true security and peace of mind. Many people are understandably hesitant about drafting a will. However, instead of this process causing anxiety about the future, it should really bring an individual the peace of mind they deserve. The creation of a valid will is the only way to ensure that a person's assets are distributed to their liking and that they won't fall into the wrong hands.
What if I die intestate?
If survived by a spouse and minor children, the spouse receives one half of the estate and the children share the other half of the estate. So, if the decedent had two minor children, each will get 25 percent.
If survived by a spouse and all adult children, the spouse receives $40,000 and one half of the remaining estate. The adult children will split the rest of what is left.
If survived only by children, they will split the entire estate accordingly. This does not include step-children.
If survived by a spouse and the decedent's parents, the spouse will receive $40,000 and fifty percent of the remaining estate. The parents will split the amount remaining unless only one parent is surviving.
If only a spouse survives, they receive the whole estate.
If only parents survive, they will receive the whole estate.
The schedule also lists information about siblings, grandparents, and step-children. If the decedent had no surviving heirs or step-children, the net estate is given to the Maryland Board of Education. However, if the decedent received long-term care benefits as part of Maryland's Medical Assistance Program at the time that they passed away, the entire estate is paid to the state Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
When creating a will, it is of the utmost importance to ensure that the document is valid in the eyes of the state of Maryland. The state requires that a valid will is written, signed by two witnesses in front of the testator and that it is also signed by the testator. In addition, the testator has to be 18 years of age or older and legally competent at the time in which they sign the document.
If you do not have an estate plan, it is essential that you put one in place before it is too late. If your current estate plan is out of date or was drafted in another state, it may require updating. In either case, you can rely on our experienced estate law professionals. Contact the experienced estate planning attorneys at JD Katz today.

Discussion in 'MacBook' started by Mdv2, Aug 20, 2011.
I'm leaving tomorrow for five months abroad and I just figured out that the camera of my Macbook Unibody (late 2008) has stopped functioning. Photobooth, iChat and Skype all indicate that 'there's no connected camera'.
I've checked google but without finding the answer to solve this problem. I'm using Lion.
Sounds like either a loose connection or a dead camera mate - hopefully there's some kind of Apple authorized repair centre around where you are traveling where you can get it looked at.
Skype will still work just fine for audio without your camera.
Have you tried a reboot mine does that sometimes and a reboot fixes it.

Questions Surround Funding Freeze of UNF Student Paper
Peter Bonilla
The racy cover photo from the latest issue of the University of North Florida (UNF) student newspaper, the Spinnaker, has caused a stir at the UNF campus and made some waves in the press. Chief among the media outlets to cover the matter is the Florida Times-Union, where Kate Howard has written a good summary of the controversy.
The cover itself is suggestive of a man performing oral sex on a woman—a way of promoting the issue's feature on the health risks of oral sex. Josh Gore, editor in chief of the Spinnaker, describes the cover's shock value as "minimal," and while readers can judge that for themselves, it clearly does not meet the legal definition of obscenity announced by the Supreme Court of the United States in Miller v. California (1973). Nonetheless, enough complaints have been received about the art that UNF President John Delaney has commented on it:
University President John Delaney said he has gotten many complaints, mostly from women, about the picture.
He said he thought the picture on the cover was distasteful and inappropriate, and a high school cheerleading camp held on campus this weekend compounded the problem. The Spinnaker is independent, Delaney said, but he questions their judgment - and asks them to do the same.
"It's a student-run paper and we're going to have some risque things. That's what happens in a campus environment," Delaney said. "But this really kind of crossed a decency line."
Delaney stopped short of calling for an apology, saying he hopes to see an "appropriate response, whatever that's going to be," from the newspaper.
I'm curious to see how Delaney would define an "appropriate response," but he at least seems to understand that the exercise of the newspaper's First Amendment rights may sometimes involve stories and images with which not everyone will be comfortable.
However, UNF's Student Government, which is responsible for some of the Spinnaker's funding, was less inclined to give the paper's First Amendment rights a pass on this issue. Take, for instance, UNF student Ryan Winter, who, according to the Times-Union, "suggested pulling the remaining copies at a board meeting for the Center for Student Media," though this action was not taken. (Note: This is still stealing, even if it's the student government that does it.)
In all, though, the Spinnaker's free speech rights seem to have survived the gauntlet of criticism.
Or did they? Regrettably buried in Howard's story is this potentially revealing bit of information, which has escaped most subsequent coverage:
Late Monday night, the budget committee of the student government took a different vote: it voted to freeze funding for the Spinnaker for three days, saying it was not because of the cover but because the paper's late delivery on Thursday rendered an ad they paid for useless. [Emphasis mine.]
At best, this strikes me as a reasonable complaint acted on most unreasonably. If the student government had been reliant on their ad appearing on a particular day and it did not, they could quite reasonably ask for a refund. But it hardly makes sense to respond to this by cutting off a portion of the paper's funding, making it harder to carry out its mission—and to keep the other organizations who pay for the Spinnaker's advertising space satisfied.
You don't exactly have to be wearing a tinfoil hat to surmise that the student government's timing here is more than just a coincidence. Spinnaker advisor John Timpe withholds his judgment, but points out that such measures have never been taken in similar incidents before. Gore himself is suspicious as well, noting for the Times-Union that "If they did want an excuse to freeze funding ... I guess they found one." If indeed that turns out to be the case, it could constitute unconstitutional viewpoint-based retaliation by the Student Government, though again, that is only an "if" at this point.
The Spinnaker has appealed the funding freeze to the Student Government's judicial branch, and hopes for a resolution as early as today. FIRE has been in contact with the Spinnaker as well, and is closely watching the case.
Hopefully there will be no need for FIRE to get further involved. Regardless, the incident has provided grist for FIRE's Adam Kissel, who will be lecturing about free speech at UNF on Thursday afternoon. Looks like Adam will have one more issue to discuss before UNF students, though let's hope it's as a matter of recent history and not an ongoing violation of the First Amendment.

A new trial has been ordered for those charged in a deadly stage collapse at an outdoor Radiohead concert in Toronto, sending the case back to square one five years after the grim incident and just as the matter approached resolution.
A mistrial was declared after the presiding judge, Justice Shaun Nakatsuru, was appointed to the Ontario Superior Court this spring and found he no longer had jurisdiction over the case.
"It is with great regret that I have come to this decision. A lot of effort and resources have gone into this trial. We had nearly completed it," Nakatsuru said in a decision released earlier this month.
"My appointment was unexpected and without notice. I know that the defendants have waited a long time for the final resolution of this case. So has the public," he said.
"There are many compelling reasons why it would be in the best interests of justice for me to finish this. But I cannot."
The entertainment company Live Nation, Toronto-area contractor Optex Staging and an engineer, Domenic Cugliari, were charged in 2013 with a total of 13 charges under the provincial Occupational Health and Safety Act.
The setback could put the case in jeopardy as one of the defence lawyers in the case, Scott Thompson, said they will be bringing an application to have the charges thrown out over unreasonable court delays.
That application is set to be heard in August. A similar application was rejected by Nakatsuru last fall.
If the new application is also unsuccessful, the new trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 5 and continue through May of next year.
The Ministry of Labour, which administers the Occupational Health and Safety Act, declined to comment on the case as it remains before the courts but said the right to be tried within a reasonable time is a fundamental part of the justice system.
"The Crown is always concerned about delays which interfere with that right," a spokeswoman said in an email.
New time limits established by the Supreme Court of Canada last summer state that cases heard in provincial court should go to trial within 18 months and those heard in Superior Court should do so within 30 months.
Though the landmark decision in R v. Jordan dealt with criminal charges, the time limits it has set also apply to regulatory charges such as those under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, said Palma Paciocco, an assistant professor at York University's Osgoode Hall law school.
That's because Canada's highest court had previously made it clear that the right to a timely trial applies to all charges, Paciocco said.
What is more likely to come into play in this case is the fact that two of the defendants are companies rather than people, she said.
Before the Jordan ruling, defendants had to demonstrate they experienced prejudice as a result of the delays, and it was understood that corporate defendants did not suffer in the way that accused people whose lives were disrupted did, she said.
But the new rules have eliminated that requirement, concluding that extreme delays are inherently prejudicial, she said.
"This opens up a bit of a question as to whether that rule applies directly to corporations," she said.
The Supreme Court has also allowed for a transition period during which the courts may take the earlier rules into account when weighing cases that predate the Jordan ruling.
A British drum technician who was touring with Radiohead was killed and three other workers were hurt after part of a massive outdoor structure came crashing down during setup for the June 2012 concert at Downsview Park.
The falling debris crushed Scott Johnson, a drum technician in his 30s, whom the band called "a highly skilled and valued member" of its road crew.
Live Nation Canada, Live Nation Ontario and Optex Staging each face four counts alleging they failed to ensure the stage structure was being built in a safe manner.
Cugliari, the engineer, faces one count of endangering a worker as a result of allegedly negligent or incompetent advice or certification.
Radiohead postponed a portion of its European tour that year following Johnson's death.


One of the best things about Los Angeles is its close proximity to the Pacific Ocean. Beautiful beachfront cities line the coast, and one of those must-visit destinations is Santa Monica.
This hotspot and celebrity favourite is only about a 30-40 minute trip from downtown LA or Hollywood, and an Uber ride will only cost you around $20! Not only is Santa Monica host to a beautiful beach, its downtown area is chock full of shops, restaurants, bars, and cafés for you to explore.
After being dropped off by our friendly Uber driver, we could feel the giddiness surge through our bodies as we headed towards Ocean Avenue and the bridge that would take us over to the Santa Monica pier to start our day.
Despite hoping for a scorching hot day at the beach, it was imperative that we brought a jacket for the cool breeze by the water and the even cooler air when the sun set later in the evening.
Still, the bright sun warmed our skin as we walked along the boardwalk amongst the hustle and bustle of the crowds.
Situated along the boardwalk are restaurants, food vendors, a large arcade (with photobooths!) for kids, and a set of rollercoasters in Pacific Park.
As piers go, it was very similar to the likes of Navy Pier in Chicago. But then… we walked over to the railing to take in the beach.
Jen having a great time.
What can I say? The view of the beach is breathtaking when coupled with the Santa Monica Mountains in the distance. It was certainly very busy too, with tons of families and small children shrieking and laughing as they played in the chilly water.
On the south side of the pier, the beach was somewhat quieter and even has some beach volleyball courts set up. I could have stood there and watched the waves roll in for hours, and it was cool to see the beach stretch so far out.
We fell in love with this place quickly and easily and it reminded me of why I wish I lived closer to a coastline. There may be beautiful beaches in Ontario edging onto lakes, but the salty ocean air and the open and endless expanse are incomparable.
Inside Pacific Park, we couldn't miss riding the Ferris wheel to get that view-from-above of this beautiful beachfront city.
At only $8 per ticket, it was totally worth it – especially since we went around quite a number of times!
After having enough fun on the boardwalk, we hit the sand and sunk our feet into the water.
The best part? Exploring beneath the pier.
You see it in the west coast teen dramas all the time (hello, The O.C.). The light filtering just right between the array of sturdy wooden pillars, waves crashing into them with a roar, the sand and water just a bit cooler here in the shade, and the whole thing is just begging to be used as the backdrop for some epic modelesque photographs.
After we'd had our fun photoshooting, we headed back up to shore to explore downtown Santa Monica.
There are a ton of shops, and eating and drinking options, especially along the closed-to-cars Third Street Promenade. Fun to note: the giant Forever 21 has a printer for Instagram photos!
Since we wanted to kill some time before heading back to the beach for the sunset and our bellies were rumbling as we hadn't eaten anything since brunch in Hollywood, we stopped at Café Crépe for a delicious afternoon snack and a cup of coffee to hold us over until it was dinnertime.
Sunset in Santa Monica is hard to beat. We opted to go back over to the south side of the pier to get the silhouette of the rollercoasters and Ferris wheel in the shot with the setting sun.
As it got closer to the horizon, the sun turned a stunning melted marigold yellow. Though the beach had emptied considerably, nearby a couple was having their engagement photos taken, and I can only imagine how perfect they must have turned out.
We had our own fun as the sun sank lower and lower, and even saw a lifeguard do the Hasselhoff run into the water at one point (no worries, it was a false alarm).
As we headed back downtown for dinner, we turned back around one last time to see the sky streaked with pink and purples before the sun completely faded away. It was a truly beautiful sunset-watching experience.
There are so many great options for food in Santa Monica. In the end, we opted for Sushi Roku and we're so glad we did. I'll do a deeper feature into the food we ate during our trip in a separate post, but honestly, the best advice I can give when it comes to food is this: if you're near water, eat seafood! It's so much fresher and just so much more delicious.
And come on – who can say no to oysters?
If you've been to Santa Monica before, what's your favourite thing about it? And what other places would you recommend for food and drink? I simply can't wait to go back.

Don't Forget the U.S.-Japan Trade Agreement
Riley Walters
The Senate recently confirmed Katherine Tai to be the 20th United States Trade Representative. In that role, Tai will be the chief negotiator for President Biden's and Congress's trade priorities. The Senate had quite a few questions about what Joe Biden's trade priorities could be during Tai's confirmation hearing held on Feb. 25. Most of the hearing focused on the big issues: China, the World Trade Organization (WTO), the U.S.-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) trade agreement, American workers and climate change.
But the U.S.-Japan Trade Agreement (sometimes referred to as the U.S.-Japan phase-one deal) was seldom mentioned, despite the fact that Japan is the U.S.'s fifth largest trading partner and number one foreign investor. Why?
The first reason could be that the deal is simply on no one's radar right now. Senators don't know everything, they don't have the time and so it's not uncommon for them to focus just on big-ticket items like the USMCA or China.
A second reason could be that this was simply a nomination hearing. Even if Tai were asked what her plans for the deal were, she might not give an answer. Instead, she would likely insist her team would review current U.S.-Japan trade negotiations. For example, during the hearing she has already committed to reviewing the advisory process for future trade agreements, the state of U.S.-U.K. free trade negotiations and the impact of the Airbus-Boeing dispute with the European Union.
This was the case in questions asked after Tai's hearing. Asked if she would expand U.S.-Japan trade negotiations, her response was "I commit to undertaking a detailed assessment of the current state of the U.S.-Japan trade relationship in light of the recent U.S.-Japan Trade Agreement to determine the best path forward."
The final reason could be that American and Japanese trade negotiators are fine with the current deal. This certainly seemed the case under the Trump administration. Former negotiators didn't want to take the next step and negotiate a comprehensive free trade agreement then; that might still be the case now.
Just a few days after Tai's hearing, the U.S. released its annual trade report. The report highlighted that tariff treatment under the U.S.-Japan deal matched those Japan provides to countries in the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). With that kind of access, what more could the U.S. ask for?
Despite the increase in market access from Jan. 1, 2020, U.S.-Japan trade in goods (both imports and exports) fell by almost 16% last year because of the pandemic and global recession. U.S. and Japanese global exports are now recovering and will likely continue to grow as demand remains strong. But this will likely have little to no impact on trade negotiations.
If anything, the increasing worry about China in Washington will have a bigger impact on U.S.-Japan negotiations than anything else. Last year, there was a lot of concern that the U.S. could be falling behind, either economically or diplomatically, as Japan, China, and 13 other countries signed the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership.
Looking at how the U.S. can reengage with Asia through trade, there were some questions about the U.S. joining CPTPP at Tai's hearing.
Several senators, mostly Republicans, asked Tai her thoughts on joining the agreement. Tai's general feelings about joining the CPTPP were, "Much has changed in the world since the original TPP was signed in 2016. If confirmed, I will review the CPTPP to evaluate its consistency with the Build Back Better agenda." While her answer can be interpreted a couple different ways, it doesn't sound optimistic, and the criticism of trade in Congress still makes joining CPTPP an unlikely event.
As difficult as resuming bilateral U.S.-Japan trade negotiations can be, with more sensitive issues to be covered like rice and automobiles, not wanting to continue negotiations can also be a problem for both the United States and Japan.
The current trade deal is also quite limited. Though the U.S. and Japan both have some of the lowest tariff rates in the world, the deal only reduced tariffs on less than 1,000 industrial and agricultural goods between the U.S. and Japan when thousands of products are traded every year.
Per U.S. and Japan commitments to the WTO, however, specific trade agreements must cover "substantially all trade" between members or else be in violation. Not having a comprehensive deal could mean other WTO members could bring a complaint at the WTO, though this would be more of a gesture than have any meaningful impact on either the U.S. or Japan in the short-term. So it's questionable whether negotiators will feel any pressure from WTO members to resume negotiations anytime soon.
It's also important to recognize that the Biden administration has been pushing to work with allies on all sorts of trade and security issues. They seem to be off to a good start. With a number of bilateral phone calls and upcoming visits, it's safe to assume the U.S.-Japan relationship will be a main focus for this administration.
Unlike during the Donald Trump administration, which took a confrontational approach with allies and competitors alike, the Biden administration and that of Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga will be looking for more areas to cooperate than negotiate. This means continuing the good efforts started during the Trump and Shinzo Abe administrations to work with the European Union on WTO reform.
But it also means they could push aside the politically difficult issues, like finishing a comprehensive U.S.-Japan free trade agreement. Not investing more in bilateral U.S.-Japan trade negotiations would be a mistake for both the Biden administration and Congress.
Just because trade negotiations can be politically difficult doesn't mean they should be ignored. The U.S. and Japan are stronger trade and security partners now more than ever. Both should work together more on various economic issues, even if that includes those issues that could put some strain on the relationship. The two countries will come out even stronger in the end for it.

(If you missed the Opens, THERE'S ONLY ONE PLACE YOU CAN SEE THEM NOW on DVD!
Stratton Mountain, VT - Rahm Klampert and Leanne Pelosi conquered the custom-built rail setup at tonight's Philips US Open Rail Jam, the first finals competition of snowboarding's pinnacle event.
This year's event included women for the first time, with twenty men and nine ladies competing in the one-hour jam. The contest featured one wide artificial urban setup with bleachers on the left and right, giving the thousands of spectators a killer view of the action. The rail setup itself had seven different features with stairs separating them.
Leanne Pelosi was the first female Rail Jam winner in Open history, holding it down for the ladies with an amazing session. She earned the $6,000 check with her 270 on the down-flat-down rail. Tonight's Philips US Open Rail Jam Championship is the first major title Alberta native Leanne has won and she was super excited about it. "I really didn't expect to win," said Leanne. "All the girls killed it and were riding so well, and it was so much fun to ride in front of such a big crowd." The other girls were definitely riding strong and made Leanne work for her first place spot. Erin Comstock had a bunch of strong runs, including a frontside boardslide down the flat round bar and a gap to backside smith down the big box. Natasza Zurek, who placed third, definitely earned her spot on the podium with a boardslide to frontside boardslide on the flat-down box.
As for the men, Rahm Klampert was up against tough competition with defending 2003 Philips US Open Rail Jam Champion Travis Rice in the lead during the first half of the jam. Travis was riding super strong, nailing numerous 270 combos and gapping from the takeoff of the down ledge to the bottom of the down-flat-down, all with the on-point smooth style he's known for.
But in the second half of the jam, Rahm took over with a 50/50 to frontside 540 off the flat of the down-flat-down box. After winning tonight's rail jam title and an Open slopestyle title in 2002, Rahm is one of the few US Open competitors to win two different Open events in the contests' 22 year history. "It was awesome to win," said Rahm. "I think it was the 50/50 that put me ahead of Travis - he was riding super well."
Two other riders got big props for their performance at the rail jam. Vermont native and up-and-comer Chris Rotax and dark horse Marie-France Roy both walked away from the hill $2,500 richer for winning the SoBe Sick Trick Award. Chris' gap 450 to frontside boardslide 180 out on the down ledge and Marie-France's frontside boardslide on the big ledge clinched the award for the riders. To go along with the cash, the Sick Trick winners also took home a Philips Camera Key Ring.
Right after the awards ceremony, the huge rail jam crowd was in for a big surprise when Wu-Tang Clan members Ghostface Killah and Cappadonna put on an hour-long show on the Philips Key Ring Concert Stage.
Stratton Mountain, VT - Kelly Clark and Danny Kass are the 2004 Philips US Open Halfpipe Champions, each taking home $20,000, a Philips Audio Jukebox and one of snowboarding's most coveted titles. Both Kelly and Danny are no strangers to the US Open podium, with Kelly clinching her second Open halfpipe title and Danny landing his third Open halfpipe championship.
The competition was definitely one of the most exciting of the snowboarding season. Tens of thousands of spectators lined the pipe and energized the riders. Fans came from as far away as Chile just to see superstars like Ross Powers, Danny Kass, Hannah Teter and Kelly Clark ride.
The ladies started out the contest with a 45 minute jam session in an overcast, icy pipe. Hannah Teter, Kjersti Buaas and up-and-coming Japanese rider Junko Asazuma were definitely crowd favorites, going huge and pushing their riding to new levels. But it was the backside 5 to frontside 5 combo and large frontside 7 grab that put Kelly Clark at a level all her own, landing her in the top podium spot. Stratton Mountain local and Olympian Tricia Byrnes placed second with her seasoned skills and consistent trick combinations and Norwegian Stine Kjeldaas came in third.
Now that Kelly has won the Open halfpipe competition twice and the quarterpipe contest once, she's leaving her mark on the US Open history books. Today's Philips US Open title adds to the long list of events Kelly has won this season, including two Vans Triple Crowns, the Nippon Open, the World Superpipe Championships and a USSA Grand Prix in New Jersey. Kelly says it's focusing on fun that has been the secret to her success this season: "It's super important to remember that the reason we're all here is to have fun snowboarding, and that's what makes the contests even better."
The men's competition was all about landmark moments. Danny Kass threw down one of the best runs of his season, stomping his unbeatable back-to-back1080 combo that won him the 2002 Open halfpipe title and today's halfpipe contest.
Then Ross Powers stepped to the plate and landed his first back-to-back 1080 in a contest finals. Terje Haakonsen, (say Ter-yay) one of the most recognized and influential riders in snowboarding, the only other rider in Open history to win three US Open halfpipe titles, made a surprise appearance in the halfpipe contest after a three-year absence from the Open, treating the crowd to one poached run after another during the finals competition. DCP (David Porcheron), Abe Teter and Heikki Sorsa were also having fun robbing runs during the halfpipe finals, even though they weren't technically competing.
To round out the podium, 2004 X Games Champion Steve Fisher took second for his smooth and consistent trick combinations and 2004 World Superpipe Champion Keir Dillon won his second third place Open halfpipe title with his super smooth style and amplitude. And snowboarding history was made when Danny Kass threw down one of the best runs of his career, becoming one of only two riders in the event's 22 year history to win three US Open halfpipe titles.
When asked about how it felt to be one of only two riders in the world to win three US Open halfpipe titles, Danny responded, " It just feels surreal, and it hasn't kicked in yet. Before I decided to come to the Open, Pat Bridges (editor of Snowboarder Magazine) talked to me about the history of the event and convinced me to come. So I thought since I was here, I'd make a little US Open history of my own."
Following the awards ceremony, Bronx born DJ Funkmaster Flex took to the Philips Key Ring Concert Stage and spun for the tens of thousands of snowboard fans who came out to see the halfpipe finals. Highly respected in the hip-hop community for his No. 1 radio show on New York's Hot 97 and collaborations with artists like Naughty by Nature, Erykah Badu, Missy "Midemeanor" Elliott and Busta Rhymes, Funkmaster Flex was a huge hit with the crowd.
The 2004 Philips US Open wrapped up today with the slopestyle finals and Nick GAS Junior Jam events. Up-and-comers Priscilla Levac and Jake Blauvelt won the slopestyle contest, both claiming the first major contest titles of their careers. And Danny Kass won the Jeep Most Outstanding Athlete award and a pimped-out Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited for winning the men's halfpipe, placing fourth in the slopestyle event and making a strong showing in the rail jam contest.
The weekend was filled with landmark moments. Women competed in the rail jam for the first time, throwing down and showing the huge crowds how far women's snowboarding has progressed. Kelly Clark won the halfpipe event and joined the elite group of two-time US Open halfpipe champions, increasing her recent winning streak to six major contest titles this season alone.
In today's slopestyle contest, the weather held for the women's finals, but took a major turn for the worse by the time the men's contest started. But the women got lucky, and Kelly Clark, Priscilla Levac and Hana Beaman took advantage of the break in the weather. Kelly and Priscilla both threw down super solid runs with Kelly nailing a cab 3, cab 180, backside 3 and backside 7 indie on the jumps and showing smooth style on the rails.
Priscilla also rode really strong and nailed a cab 5, backside 3, a straight air and frontside 5. The two runs were so close that the judges had to deliberate for several hours before making a final decision. In the end, they gave the first place spot, the $20,000 and a Philips Audio Jukebox to Priscilla. Kelly Clark took second and went home to her nearby hometown of West Dover, Vermont $30,000 richer. Hana Beaman, the 2003 Philips US Open slopestyle champion, claimed the third spot on the podium.
Just as the women wrapped up, the bad weather rolled in. Full on blizzard conditions socked in the mountain and the course practically turned into a powder run by the time the men's competition wrapped up. But the riders still charged and definitely earned their prize money. Stowe, Vermont local Jake Blauvelt put together a solid run with a frontside 7, cab 7, switch backside 5, backside 5 and a frontside railslide to 270 out on the bottom rail. Jake's run won him the contest, $20,000 and a Philips Audio Jukebox and he was super stoked. "I've never even won a Vans Triple Crown or a Grand Prix," said Jake. "I didn't even expect to land because there was so much snow, so I can't believe I won." Travis Rice, who's used to plenty of powder after growing up in Jackson Hole, took second, rounding out his weekend's winnings to $11,000 after placing second in the rail jam as well. And German rider Christophe Schmidt took third place.
Before the slopestyle event, there was plenty of action in the superpipe as well with the future stars of the sport getting down to business in the Nick GAS Junior Jam. Ellery Hollingsworth and Ross Baker took the top spots and went home with a Philips Camera Key Ring. Highlights from the Junior Jam will air on Nick GAS.
Not only was the level of riding off the hook at this year's event, the musical acts also put on a killer show. Wu-Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah and Cappadonna took to the Philips Key Ring Concert Stage on Friday night after the rail jam. And Bronx born DJ Funkmaster Flex, known for his No. 1 radio show on New York's Hot 97, performed after the halfpipe finals and kept Saturday night partiers dancing late into the night.
The Open Snowboarding Championships are the pinnacle snowboarding events of the season. Founded by Jake Burton, the Opens have grown from grassroots events to global spectacles attracting tens of thousands of spectators and riders from around the world. The Opens welcome all riders to compete, giving locals, amateurs and pros an equal shot at a world-class title. With events spanning three continents, The Burton European Open, Nippon Open in Japan and the Philips US Open in Vermont set the standard for snowboarding events around the globe.

Is Cloud Data Safer Than On-Site?
Can cloud storage beat traditional on-site systems?
Big DataData LawData Science
Jessica Zhang

The use of cloud computing, SaaS services, and remote working has meant that rather than data being stored on a single on-site server accessed only from a networked computer, it can be accessed from anywhere in the world. This has meant that employees can now work from anywhere they want without missing any data or information that may be stored in a specific server. It has essentially been one of the most important elements in the globalization of business.
However, with this power also comes significant debate around data security.
There are some strong arguments it is safer both in the 'on-site' camp and in the cloud, but which is ultimately the safest?
Having data stored on-site does not necessarily mean that it cannot be accessed from elsewhere, but does make it considerably more difficult than if you were to use a more robust and designed-for-purpose cloud system. This difficultly is one of the elements that makes it more secure as it takes more than a simple password to get onto the server and access the information.
In statistics from the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) it was found that 62% of data loss was due to human error, rather than anything more malicious. This could be something like falling for a phishing scam, losing work devices, or malicious theft by an employee. This would suggest that having an on-site server would remove a couple of those issues, as gaining access requires slightly more than simply inputting a password that could be stolen relatively easily.
One of the key security elements of an on-site system that the cloud could never offer is that a company can control the flow of information throughout its journey. We have seen with examples like the mass intercept of data from the NSA, that it is possible to simply steal data as it moves from one place to another over the internet. If everything is kept in-house then this isn't the case and hence negates a potential threat.
Despite the ability to access data from anywhere with an internet connection, the use of cloud computing is safer than on-site systems for a number of reasons, but chief among them is where the responsibility for its security lies.
Responsibility for on-site data storage systems is normally on IT teams, which may be one or two people internally or a contractor who occasionally maintain it. For most companies, the most important element of their business isn't the protection of their data, it is selling and maintaining products or services. Cloud storage systems on the other hand, can represent the security for millions of companies and their primary role is to keep that data secure. Therefore, they will naturally have large teams of the best qualified data security experts, because that is the primary role of their business.
Having millions of businesses also means that any data breaches that come through can be stopped, picked up, analyzed, and then fixes deployed across every account for their millions of customers. If somebody manages to gain access to one on-site system, the chances of them being to do the same on more systems in rapid succession is considerably better, because the systems are interconnected, so any flaw can be exploited multiple times before it becomes more widely known.
Given that the core architecture of cloud based systems are not held by a company, it also means that critical security updates can be undertaken by millions of companies at the same time, without them even noticing. If a cloud based company needed to update their systems multiple times over a week, it wouldn't be an issue at all, whilst this would be almost impossible for an on-site system.
Despite the apprehension that some have about the use of data storage in the cloud, it is, to all intents and purposes, as safe, if not safer, than on-site options. It's entire purpose is to be as safe as cloud companies can make it. Nobody is going to use a cloud storage company that can't keep anything safe, so they invest heavily in making sure it is as safe as they can possibly make it.

We often like to think the thing that makes videogames special is "interactivity." But this idea of being able to "interact" with the creative work doesn't really tell us anything special about videogames at all. It's not that videogames aren't interactive – of course they are. But, in their own ways, all media are interactive. We don't have to keep pressing buttons to make a film carry through from start to end, but we have to use other parts of our body (our eyes, our ears, our brains) to turn a series of disconnected, imitated scenes performed by actors we've seen a dozen times before filmed in giant warehouses into a narrative of original characters overcoming some challenge. We take the sights and sounds presented to us by a film, and then we interact with those sights and sounds by turning them into the textual thing we consume.
So when we talk about videogames as being interactive, we are in fact talking about a very narrow, very specific kind of interaction, a kind of bodily, participatory engagement where the progression of the game relies on our corporeal actions. This is, obviously, a very crucial part of videogame play worthy of focus, but it is not the only interaction happening when we play videogames. Just as with film, photography and all other audio and/or visual arts, our fingers are not the only part of our body interacting with the game. Our eyes, ears and brain are all tangibly engaged with making sense of the game, with transforming it into some kind of textual object for our consumption. There is more interactivity happening in videogame play than what we talk about when we talk about interactivity.
Two games in particular highlight this full spectrum of interaction, of engagement, being performed by parts of our body other than those that are explicitly touching the videogame hardware during gameplay: Alexander Bruce's Antichamber and Bernie Schulenburg's Where Is My Heart? Both of these games demand a constant and concentrated interaction from my brain, so much so that I find myself physically exhausted after playing them for short periods of time. When I play them, I am reminded that my mind is part of my meaty, tangible body, and that my mind is doing a whole lot of work for me to be able to comprehend these games – to comprehend any game.
Antichamber's spaces are impossible. Space doesn't work here the way it works in our own world. Corridors and rooms overlap each other. Space bends around on top of itself. I can never see the world as it actually "is" because it exists beyond my comprehension as a being existing in a world where space is mapped out on three consistent dimensions. In Antichamber, the room beside me might also be the room above me. I might turn around and the hallway directly behind me isn't the hallway I just walked down to get to my current location. Time and space are weird here.
These impossible spaces require me to be constantly consciously aware of where I am in the world. This is something I don't have to do in most games – at least, not to the same extent. Playing Grand Theft Auto IV, if I want to drive to the next island, I see the intersection I need to turn left down to get onto the bridge without a second (or even a first) thought. I've been up and down these streets so many times that I have built an unconscious, habitual knowledge of my surroundings. My mind is still constructing them, to be sure, but with such little effort that I hardly notice.
But in Antichamber I need to constantly reorientate myself not just in relation to my immediate surroundings, but in relation to how I got here and how I would have to travel to get anywhere else. My current location in Antichamber isn't a point; it's a trajectory, dependent as much on my current location in time as in space.
Similarly, Die Gute Fabrik's Where Is My Heart? doesn't allow an unfiltered view onto the reality of its world. Unlike Antichamber, a world does exist here that makes sense: a 2D, side view of a pixel-art forest. The challenge in Where Is My Heart? is that I never have an unmediated view of this world. Instead, it is sliced up into tiles and shuffled around the screen like randomly placed security monitors. Your character might walk off a monitor in the top left of the television and onto a monitor on the bottom right.
On paper, it doesn't sound that hard. You learn what tiles are this platform and what tiles are that platform, and off you go. The difficulty, though, much like Antichamber, is having to constantly keep that world stitched together in my mind. My brain must work to keep that world together for me to navigate. The second I stop thinking about it, the second I forget that you can't just walk into the next screen, it all falls apart.
It's like having to run on a treadmill to watch TV. Except it isn't my legs doing the work, it's that juicy lump of meat inside my skull, that piece of meat we like to forget is even a part of our bodily existence at all. Both these games demand so much of my mind simply to make them navigable that they can't help but draw attention to the very corporeal existence of my mind and consciousness. Playing Antichamber or Where Is My Heart?, my brain uses so much energy just to keep the worlds conceptually together that I quickly become exhausted. Physically exhausted – from thinking! It reminds me that my mind was always embedded in my bodily existence, as just so much meat.
And, by extension, these games draw attention to the very corporeal interactions my mind is having with the images and sounds on the TV. This facilitates those more traditional interactions happening with my fingers, as much in these special games that it is made explicit as in the countless games where I don't even notice.
Videogames are interactive. That's a point that can't be argued. The issue with such a statement is that it tends to exclude a whole heap of other ways our bodies couple with videogames to produce our engagements with them. The pure exhaustion I feel after trying to stitch together (and keep together) the worlds of Antichamber and Where Is My Heart? remind me that it's not just my fingers that are interacting with the screen, but my entire sensory and perceptual apparatus.

The School and the Extended Community
At Mary, Mother of God School, the students are encouraged to realize that the school is one part of a broader Christian community and that we must serve God by putting ourselves at the service of others.
This broader community is very much a part of the daily life at Mary, Mother of God School. The students take an active part in the parish life of both St Vincent de Paul Church and Holy Family Church, they visit the neighbourhood seniors' residences to sing and recite poetry, and they take part in community initiatives to help those in need, such as by volunteering at St Francis Table, participating in Serving Charity, or collecting food and other items for Canadian Food for Children. Since Lent 2003, the students have faithfully raised and contributed alms during Lent for his Excellency, Bishop Kasanda of Mbuji-Mayi in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
As part of its service to the community, the school has sponsored public lectures by major speakers such as those by George Weigel (2003) and Scott Hahn (2001 and 2005). We have also been able to offer lecture series, such as the ongoing Beauty: The Splendor of Truth which featured John Zucchi as its first speaker.
Other activities for the extended Christian community include an annual retreat day for women and a men's group, Our Lady's Gentlemen of Good Cheer, which meets throughout the year for prayer, a guest speaker, and fellowship. Plays such as The Diaries of Adam and Eve, concerts of sacred music, occasional conferences for small, independent Canadian Catholic schools, and specialized evening courses in the history of Christian Art have all helped the school continue to edify and educate all interested in the essential link between Christianity and culture.

Review: 'The Peanut Butter Falcon' is a film that must be seen
By John Clyde, KSL.com Contributor | Posted - Aug 9th, 2019 @ 2:02pm
THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED — Some movies entertain you, others have an emotional punch and some have a mixture of the two. But there are some movies that seem to transcend the art and become something more than a movie and have a sincere impact on your life and the way you view the world.
This is high praise, but I think it's justified to say "The Peanut Butter Falcon" is one of those films.
This low-budget and under-marketed movie made a splash at South By Southwest Film Festival earlier this year in Austin, Texas, and then was somehow turned down by the Sundance Film Festival. Their loss, because we now get the opportunity to see this brilliant film and can clearly see their mistake.
The movie stars Shia LaBeouf, Dakota Johnson and introduces Zack Gottsagen. I don't want to give much away because I think you should experience this film fresh, but Gottsagen plays Zack, a boy with Down syndrome who has an escape problem.
Zack finds himself on the run from his caretakers and heading to a fabled wrestling school. Along the way, he meets vagabond Tyler, played by LaBeouf, and the two embark on a modern-day Mark Twain fable of friendship and adventure.
The film is both unique and beautiful. Here are some reasons this is a movie everyone needs to see:
LaBeouf ======= and Gottsagen are made for each other
Sometimes two actors have so much chemistry on screen that you don't even care if the movie is any good because you can't get enough of them — think Robert Redford and Paul Newman in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" or Tom Hanks and Tim Allen from "Toy Story."
These are iconic duos who let up the screen with their charisma and charm, and I'd put LaBeouf and Gottsagen into that category.
These two are absolutely electric on screen together. When they are split up, they still make for some fantastic performances, but together it's impossible to not fall in love with this pair.
It's clear that this friendship continued long after the cameras stopped rolling and the set was shut down. There is a palpable bond between these two that feels more like family than coworkers and that jumps off the screen. Once the credits roll you'll want to see more and more of Shia and Zack.
As far as individual performances go, I think this may be LaBeouf's best to date. I know he is a polarizing character and you may or may not like him, but he has an undeniable talent and it is in top form here.
I've always been impressed with LaBeouf and his ability to create three-dimensional characters in films like "Fury" and "Man Down," but he elevates his game to a new level here, and I think this film could be a catalyst to see LaBeouf come back in a big way.
Gottsagen deserves recognition, as well. This actor is full of heart and joy and he is a talent to be reckoned with. You can tell he loves what he does and it's truly special to see him shine so bright on the screen.
It is totally genuine
During a question and answer session with writers and directors Tyler Nilson and Mike Schwartz, they said they wrote the film with Zack. They asked him questions about his likes and dislikes, his passions and dreams and even got feedback on dialogue and jokes.
Because of this, Nilson and Schwartz have crafted a genuine piece of art that pays great tribute to the wonderful people like Zack who have Down syndrome or other disabilities.
The true-to-life aspect makes this film something incredibly special and rare. This is a tribute to the beauty and love people like Zack bring into the world and why it's such a better place because of that.
Its message is universal and important
"The Peanut Butter Falcon" carries an important message that I think everyone needs to hear. The film is about love, loss, forgiving oneself, finding the good in others, loving those around us and doing things because they're right and not because they're convenient.
The film also carries an important message that people with Down syndrome aren't disabled, but rather they are an incredible gift to this world and a shining example of what it means to be good human beings.
Zack's heart is constantly on his sleeve and it makes for an unforgettable and impactful experience at the cinema.
It's smart and funny
All the great message and genuine stuff can take a back seat for a minute because I'm guessing you'd all like to know if the movie is actually entertaining.
It's an absolute blast.
It's an emotional rollercoaster at times, but the storytelling is on point with complex and interesting characters and loads of laugh-out-loud moments.
The theater was in tears from laughter and joy throughout much of the movie and there are lines I will be quoting for years to come.
"The Peanut Butter Falcon" follows familiar tropes and its overarching story isn't breaking any new ground, but this movie is truly unique and unlike anything else out there.
Rarely have I felt an immediate emotional connection to main characters as soon as the houselights go down and the screen lights up, but I did with Zack. The movie will stick to your ribs and you'll keep chewing on it for days after it's over.
I can't wait to get back into the theater to see it again and watch those I take with me experience it for themselves.
I urge you to head to the theater this weekend and go see "The Peanut Butter Falcon." This is a movie people need to see.
Check KSL.com tomorrow for a content guide for parents for "The Peanut Butter Falcon."
"The Peanut Butter Falcon" is opening Aug. 9 in limited release at the Megaplex Gateway, Megaplex Jordan Commons and Century 16 in Salt Lake City. It is rated PG-13 for thematic content, language throughout, some violence and smoking.

The variety of Blue Franconian is widely spread in two wine-growing regions (Podravje, Posavje) and in five wine-growing districts (Štajerska Slovenija, Prekmurje, Bizeljsko-Sremiška, Dolenjska and Bela krajina). It is a variety that can deliver high-quality wine and is the leader in quality among red varieties in all listed districts.
Blue Franconian is recognisable for its rich fruit aroma that resembles berry flavours.
The wine is usually bluish-red in colour, whereby it depends on the production technology. Especially young wine has a distinct fruit flavour, while with age, it acquires the velvet and complexity of the flavour. The wine usually has mean tannin values and proper acidity.
The Blue Franconian vines are recognisable by large rounded leaves, which are not excessively carved. The upper green side becomes reddish in autumn. The grape is large and cylindrical, while individual grapes are dark blue and have a thick skin. The meat is juicy, sweet and somewhat bitter.
Experts from the Julius Kühne Institute in the German Geilweilerhof found that the Blue Franconian is more than just an autochthonous Slovenian variety. It also originates from Slovenia.
The Blue Franconian is characterised by a high content of antioxidants, especially resveratrol which lowers the overall level of cholesterol in the blood. Moreover, it increases the beneficial high lipoprotein density (HDL) that protects the heart. At the same time, it also prevents cancer; therefore, moderate consumption of Blue Franconian is particularly recommended.
The first mention of the Blue Franconian dates back to the year 1862, when the vine was presented in the framework of the winemaking exhibition in Vienna, but the variety is much older. The word is derived from the word Franconia, which was one of the most famous German wine-growing districts in the Middle Ages. Wine from this region was highly valued at that time, and the grapes that were of high quality were then named Frankish to distinguish it from the lesser-known Hun grapes. Despite the close connection between the vines and the aforementioned region, researchers assume that the vine originates from Dalmatia, current Slovenia, southern Austria and Hungary.
In the literature, the variety is referred to as: modra frankinja, frankinja crna, moravka, Blaufränkisch, frankovka, Lemberger, Blue franconian.

Eastern water resources and habitat at risk from Marcellus drilling.
Arlington, Va. — Trout Unlimited's (TU) Eastern Water Project Director, Katy Dunlap, testified about the impacts of Marcellus Shale drilling on Eastern forests, brook trout and coldwater resources before a U.S. Senate subcommittee hearing today, saying that natural resources in the region are in potential danger from the effects of drilling.
"From what we see on the ground, regulation of gas development is not adequate to protect water resources," Dunlap said. "While Trout Unlimited is concerned about the potential contamination of water resources that can be directly caused by the hydraulic fracturing process, we are equally concerned about the surface impacts that can result from the associated activities of hydraulic fracturing and natural gas development," she said.
Dunlap pointed to specific concerns about the location of well pads, wastewater storage areas, water withdrawals from small headwater streams, spills and leaks of toxic substances and the management, storage and disposal of drilling wastewater.
Charging state agencies with lax or inadequate management and oversight of drilling activity, she said water resources must be protected as gas is developed. Earlier this week, she pointed out, a Pennsylvania legislator sought co-sponsorship of a bill that would remove the current 150-foot buffer between a well pad and high quality, exceptional waters.
"If passed, this bill would allow well pads to be built right up against streams, creating unacceptable risks to Pennsylvania's waterways and its aquatic life," Dunlap said.
In her testimony, Dunlap urged Congress to take a more careful look at the full range of gas development impacts on water resources, and to consider reinstating the Clean Water Act stormwater and Safe Drinking Water Act provisions to protect those resources from gas development.
Dunlap provided examples of drilling-related problems from Pennsylvania, where more than 1,600 gas wells are currently in production in the Marcellus Shale region.
"By far the most prominent and concerning impact that Trout Unlimited members are seeing on the ground is the failure or lack of erosion and sediment controls on well pad construction sites and access roads," Dunlap said.
Trout Unlimited volunteers are working throughout the Marcellus Shale region, testing the water quality of rivers and streams to measure the effect of gas drilling on these areas.

Kat graduated from Bangor University in 2007 with a BSc in Psychology with Clinical and Health Psychology. She continued at Bangor for an MSc Foundations of Clinical Psychology. Her Masters' thesis was Memory Awareness in Older Adults where she looked at awareness of memory ability in healthy older adults and people with dementia.
Kat joined the Dementia Services Development Centre (DSDC) Wales in 2009 and during her time talking to both carers and people living with dementia she has gained an understanding for the need for services for people with dementia, and the need to educate others about dementia to reduce the stigma.
Kat is passionate about improving the quality of life and well-being for people living with dementia and those who support them. In particular she has developed a keen interest in the benefits of the arts for people living with dementia and in 2015 completed her NISCHR-funded PhD: "Can an arts programme increase the wellbeing and quality of life of people with dementia living in a care home: An exploratory study".
Kat led the evaluation of Age Cymru's cARTrefu programme and launched the report at the National Assembly for Wales in 2017. Kat was Principal Investigator on the 'Creative Conversations' project which developed an arts based care home staff development programme. Kat is the Bangor Coordinator for the Wales Centre for Ageing and Dementia Research (CADR) and also co-leads the Creative interventions for older age and dementia care work theme with Professor Gill Windle.
