Most children that are fans of wrestling wish to one day go to WrestleMania let alone participated as a WWE SuperStar. Even our young girls couldn't always grasp the idea of believing they too could ever change the game of wrestling let alone become real Total Diva OG. One original OG WWE SuperStar Trinity Fatu best known as Naomi broke down any and many barriers that came her way to reaching "The Glow" she currently exudes to the world.
"At 21 I saw my first live wrestling show, I was in awe when I saw the women perform and knew in that moment it was something I wanted to do and could do".

In celebration of Black History Month, ironically February marks the second anniversary since Trinity took home the title as WWE SuperStar x2 women's champ during Smack Down`s women's championship at the elimination chamber event, which made her the first African American women to ever capture the title. Glow Up much?
"I felt relieved, honored, overwhelmed with joy and so appreciative of my journey to get to that point because it prepared me and I was ready. From the first day, I got signed to WWE, being the champion was always my number one goal and after years of consistent hard work both mentally and physically, ups and downs I was finally in that moment I had dreamt and thought about so much! I remember thinking to myself as I raised the title up over my head for the first time and the fans were chanting "you deserve it" …it was all worth it! The only other time I've cried that many years of joy was on my wedding day (She Laughs)". That title changed me today because it gave me and our fans the validation I needed as a performer and strong competitor in our division".
Since we are on the topic of "The Glow up" real fans like myself, know "The Glow" and see the power of "The Glow" in her drip from her style, to gear and hair. Majority of the times when Trinity is in character as Naomi she is literally glowing & kicking ass. "I took inspiration from one of my favorite movies The Last Dragon, along with my own personal thoughts and ideas. The Glow is a metaphor for confidence and positivity that I also showcase visually."
" The Glow is something I truly live by and believe in".
But let's be for real , outside of her flavor, sis is FIT and genuinely talented. She has the best tricks and stunts, she makes her killer moves look easy when we all see on total divas it takes hard work and dedication 24/7. "I always take care of my mind first because the body follows and keep stress down. I train weekly with my husband who makes it really fun and easy to do. I try my best to eat healthily and in moderation although I have a mean sweet tooth (She Laughs)".
Total Diva fans are the true definition of a ride or die. We see them working during the week in character as wrestlers than we get an exclusive look into their personal lives and behind the scenes work life. We watched all the highs and lows since season one like major breakups, pregnancies, make or break physical injuries, wedding, and cat fights. However, we also watch them grow into beautiful, intelligent women through all the ruff exterior. "It's simple because we are a sisterhood. We travel and work with each other about 300 days out of the year. We are each others' family away from our actual family. We share good days together and bad, but we got each others back. When it's show time no matter what differences are put to the side and we come together to put on the best show possible because we are all professionals. Our love and passion for what we do always override any issues".
Trinity has always seemed to be an open book with her bubble energetic personality since season one with her Funkadactyl sister Ariane. They let us in on everything even when they had their disagreements and of course makeups but since the era came to an end of the Funkadactyl, Naomi came into her own on a whole different level. "I was a singles competitor for a few years before Ariane and I became a team so transitioning back to that wasn't difficult at all. The hard part was not being with Ariane because we became and still are really close (she's like a sister to me). I loved being a funkadactyl and was looking forward to us evolving together. But I have hope we'll be in the ring together again one day. I know fans would liiiiive for that (She Laughs)".
Season 8 of Total Divas, things got pretty personal when it came to her marriage. Jon & Trinity showed the trail & tribulations of building their marriage especially discussing their family dynamics on television. They didn't hold back on the tougher conversation of really showing us when Trinity lost her wedding ring or building up the courage to have an awkward conversation with her husband to consider getting an apartment in ATL. "It is very difficult at times, but I'm happy we get to share our story and literally watch ourselves grow and learn together. I like to think that our children and grandchildren years from now will watch us back, be proud and get a kick out of it (She Laughs)".
Even though season 8 has come to an end, the grind never stops and the agenda to push the women's division is always a priority. "Season 9 hasn't started yet but you can expect to see a lot of new and exciting things happening in our women's division, one being getting women's tag team titles for the first time ever in history. Jon and I are trying new things professionally and personally".
She maybe nice in the ring but Trinity is also a true triple threat singer, dancer & actress. "You'll definitely be getting more music/videos that's a big goal of my this year, and after doing Battleground I realized how much I enjoyed acting, the challenge, the process so I'll be pursuing that's as well but wrestling will remain number one". While wrestling is her number one passion, it's safe to say that the Naomi era is far from over in the ring. Trinity shared she got her eye on the prize to get the opportunity to show out one day in the TLC match & Hell in the Cell. Look out for those future matches
"I honestly cant say for sure what 2019 has in store for me but I do know my glow up is going to be bigger and brighter than the last".

This is an Information War not an Election
So many paediatric A&E and PICU nurses with such a strong online presence.
This Smear Election is so riddled with disinformation it may not be happening at all. As [somebody's] bots spammed out a spool of the same claims to try and derail the chilling photograph of four-year old Jack Williment-Barr sleeping under coats on a hospital floor in Leeds as he waited for a bed, despite having suspected pneumonia, you realised that whatever happens, the Conservatives campaign is over.
It's not been a disaster in the way Theresa May's was a disaster in 2017, touring the country trying to say nothing at all, shuddering with awkwardness and huddling in contrived Tory set-piece closed-door vignettes. No, this is a Boris-style disaster full of the unquestioned bravado of unmitigated privilege.
Disinformation 1: The photograph of Jack was a blow to the Conservatives on their weakest front, the total lack of public trust about their intentions for the NHS, and underlying that, their callous uncaring attitude about anyone who is vulnerable. It's a scoop and a karmic revenge for the Daily Mirror, which is having a good election. After being banned from the Tories campaign bus for being proper journalists, the Mirror has hit back with a series of hard-hitting front-page stories.
It was followed up with ITV's Joe Pike's devastating confrontation of the Prime Minister, (looking Prime Ministerial presumably) as he first refused to look at the photograph then stole the reporters phone. The clip has now been seen by 8.7 million viewers and been re-tweeted 50k times.
That's why the Clone Army was heralded.
But then the Tories spin machine began falling apart.
Disinformation 2: Matt Hancock, fresh from hanging about Fraserburgh harbour contemplating the value of our precious Union, was sped across to Leeds Hospital to take charge of the situation.
Sensing that the news day was falling apart for them the Tories resorted to briefing senior journalists (among them Laura Kuensberg and Robert Peston) that a Tory aide was "punched" outside the hospital by a leftwing activist, "a Labour Party thug".
The claims were a complete fabrication as was exposed when video footage showed that the adviser was accidentally brushed in the face.
Kuenssberg and Peston are now full of (semi) remorse and rueful apologies, but their reach is huge (they both have over 1 million followers on Twitter) and they are considered by many to be reliable sources. They are after all the political editors of the BBC and ITV. Who wouldn't trust them?
For the avoidance of any doubt: the fake news claiming that the sick boy on the floor of a hospital in leeds was staged by his mother is completely made-up. We know the story is real, and Dr Yvette Oade, the Chief Medical Officer at Leeds hospital has apologised. But the stories out there now.
The identical tweet claiming the mother staged the photo has been circulated on Twitter to millions of people. It's copied and pasted, the accounts are targeting various influencers and it's spewing out into the world two days before an election.
Facebook is worse.
In the face of this, valiant efforts like Channel 4s Fact Check, Full Fact (the UK's fact-checking charity) or the Ferret's Fact Service check try and stem the flow. But in a post-factual world, who cares?
Full Fact stated:
"Earlier today many senior political journalists reported that a Labour activist punched an aide to Conservative Health Secretary Matt Hancock while he was visiting a hospital in Leeds."
"This did not happen."
But this is a post-truth world in which Michael Deacon, parliamentary sketchwriter for The Daily Telegraph, has written "Facts are negative. Facts are pessimistic. Facts are unpatriotic."
Nothing could confirm this more than the Tories masquerading their Twitter account as a Fact Checking service.
This story, although it seems like the worst of a new form of disinformation has echoes back to 1992 when Neil Kinnock's Labour Party issued a broadcast attacking the privatisation of the NHS under the Conservative government of John Major. The broadcast was based on the case of a five-year-old girl called Jennifer, who at the time of the election had been waiting eleven months for a simple operation on her ear.
Like today, the Conservatives and the media, sensing crisis, went into over-drive. The next morning, just a few hours after the broadcast, the story exploded in the Daily Express under the dramatic headline of 'EXPOSED: Labour's Sick NHS Stunts'.
Like today, the Labour Party are trying to defend the last vestiges of publicly cherished infrastructure in Britain. The NHS is the Black Rhino of public services and it has been contested since its inception.
This continuity (1992 – 2019) exposes the vulnerable underbelly of the Conservatives and the vultures of privatisation circling in the world of Brexit and US trade deals – versus the reality that the enthusiasm for privatisation has waned after three decades of experiencing its results.
Ever Diminishing Circles
This is all feeling quite dark. If its comic and chaotic it's also serious.
The army of former paediatric A&E nurses are marching into a million Facebook conversations. Some will pick up that it's a fabrication, many will not.
The Serbian-American playwright Steve Tesich first used the term post-truth in a 1992 essay in The Nation but we can see the ever decreasing circles emerging from key moments. Mine are: the General Belgrano reporting in the Falklands to the big lies of the Iraq War; to Swiftboating and the Trump-Brexit axis of lies; to the Cambridge Analytica black-ops to the coverage of the independence referendum.
We can see stage-posts of the the disintegration of public standards in politics and media.
Michael Gove's comment in an interview that "I think people in this country have had enough of experts…" has to be a marker point in this process.
Ever-present in this process has been The Sun which this week published an "exclusive" about a "hard-left extremist network" at the heart of the Labour Party. The piece directed readers towards a website featuring a network map that it said had been compiled by ex-military veterans "in their spare time" to reveal "what they insist is now a party firmly in the grip of a hardline cabal".
It was a fabrication worthy of Steve Bannon.
As the story was exposed to be riddled with mad conspiracies and extreme rightwing material among their sources, it was quickly removed from the paper's site – but without acknowledgement or explanation from the papers Political Editor, Tom Newton Dunn.
The term "post-truth politics" was coined by the writer David Roberts in an article for Grist in 2010. Roberts defined it as "a political culture in which politics (public opinion and media narratives) have become almost entirely disconnected from policy (the substance of legislation)". It's this world this grim election is grinding out in. It's a world swirling with birtherism, climate change denial, flat-earth and anti-vaxx memes, and chemtrails. It's a toxic synergy of conspiracy and tribalism, paranoia and bad faith mediated through the silo world of social media and energised by peoples increasing desperation. We quickly reach an end-point where all journalists are scum and all politicians are evil (except our own who are infallible). It's a form of infantilism.
It's not all dark.
It can be argued that the Tory lies and spin of yesterday were exposed by social media as much as they were dispatched by them.
But if bots and Tory liars and a compliant media are imposing this post-truth era on us, we are also complicit in sustaining it. As author and musician Darren McGarvey puts it:
"To beat fake news, we have to want the truth more than we want certain things to be true. We tend to draw attention to the fake news others buy into and spread. But the truth is: we've all done it. Fake news thrives on partisanship and confirmation bias. We all need to do better."

We used to laugh at "Big Brother" and it could never happen here. The "Ministry of Truth" is in business and spouting "Newspeak" at full volume.
Surely the biggest lie/smear of all concerns anti-Semitism, a smear now four years old and tended lovingly by many within the PLP, the BBC, and others, on a daily basis, ever since.
In case people forget, here's a link to secretary of state's (Mike Pompeo) meeting with Jewish Leaders to discuss how to take Corbyn out of the running. In the recording Pompeo makes it clear he's aware of the ongoing attempts to bring Corbyn down.
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jun/09/mike-pompeo-leaked-recording-corbyn-labour-jewish-leaders
james gourlay says:
They are conflating anti-semitism with criticism of the Israeli government. The Israeli gov is racist and is a terrorist organisation.
I may not like Corbyn but he's not anti-semitic. Neither are the other two who were dumped from the Scottish gov.
"Neither are the other two who were dumped from the Scottish gov."
Who do you mean James?
The wording of the IHRA "definition" of anti-Semitism is problematic for many people, understandably. It has been put together to silence people and it's quite disgraceful, and worrying, that anyone who points this out is immediately smeared with a very damaging label.
'the biggest lie/smear concerns anti-semitism, a smear now four years old and lovingly tended by many within the PLP, the BBC'
Just to clarify matters, are you saying that accusations of anti-semitism within the Labour Party, while Jeremy Corbyn has been leader, are bogus and have been deliberately invented to discredit him ?
That is the way it comes across to me.
I think the original post makes clear what I meant. The link I provided tells us a great deal too. My response to James Gourlay adds some more. I don't think further clarity is required.
' the biggest lie/smear concerns antisemitism'
What can reasonably be described as the Jewish establishment, the Chief Rabbi and the Jewish Chronicle, are at the heart of the campaign against antisemitism in Corbyn's Labour Party. You are making the claim that the Jeremy Corbyn is the victim of a Jewish conspiracy.
We went down that road in the first half of the 20th century. Keeping in mind how that ended, I thought we would be spared a replay in the 21st century.
I reluctantly dip my toe into this cesspit. I have nothing against the Jewish people, the Jewish religion or any other religious group. I am however appalled by the actions of the state of Israel against those Palestinian people within it's illegally expanded borders.
In my view Jeremy Corbyn is being pilloried because he made his views on Israel's persecution of the Palestinians clear in contravention of the decree contained within the IHRA definition. I do not accept that it antisemitism to speak out against these actions and I fear we are marching down the road to where the ethnic cleansing of the land between the river Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea is accepted by all of our politicians.
Who speaks up for those Palestinians herded into concentration camps in both Gaza and ever shrinking, fenced enclaves on the West Bank.
I'm not going to rise to the bait.
I will, however, point out to you that many Jewish people opposed the position taken by the Jewish Chronicle and the Chief Rabbi in their attacks on Jeremy Corbyn.
I share your reluctance to get into this subject but, wait, isn't it frightening that we feel that way? Yet this is the situation that's been deliberately created in order to silence people and ensure they stay quiet.
Presumably every UN resolution ever passed condemning the actions of the state of Israel was rooted in anti-Semitism? Under the IHRA definition, it was.
Interesting times, terrifying too for those who believe that justice is for all.
I just read your earlier response and I missed, initially, the implications of something you said.
"You are making the claim that the Jeremy Corbyn is the victim of a Jewish conspiracy."
I said no such thing! Please tread warily before throwing reckless allegations at people and woefully misquoting them.
I said,
Wullie says:
Meanwhile, nearer home, Ruth Davidson plans a Westminster seat sometime & as the Tory leader with least experience of government she claims that this will be a big plus!
Charles L. Gallagher says:
Wullie, saw yesterday that it looks like Ruthie Tank Commander has been recruited to ITV's election results team.
She's also threatening to skinny dip in Loch Ness!
Josef Ó Luain says:
Incisive content, Mike. Bang-on.
thanks Josef
Wul says:
Hawd on!
Did this Alison Pearson "journalist" not think it strange that three ex-A&E nurses, all with different names, sent her identically worded messages? And that met her criteria for "100%" proof?
I do hope Santa is good to her.
James Mills says:
In the same vein , did senior journalists ( Kuensberg and Peston ) not think to challenge or investigate a claim put out by "senior Conservatives " in the dying days of an election dominated by Fake news from many sources , not least the Conservative Party HQ ?
Surely even a trainee journalist might think to check her sources before committing her reputation to a "story " issued by a body of people representing a leader whose relationship with the truth is …. remote !
https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocracyuk/british-journalists-have-become-part-of-johnsons-fake-news-machine/
Bella highlighted this article a while back James.
I can't really understand it. Unless it IS deliberate mis-information. Occam's Razor suggests that is the most likely explanation.
There appears to be some kind of "get out" for journalists whereby they can post subjective, personal opinion and rumour on Twitter, like any ordinary Joe, but still retain the authority and credibility ( and followers) lent them by their day job. Andrew Neil is a prime example.
If Kuenssberg puts the letters "BBC" in her Twitter handle ( "@bbclaurak" ) then she should be held to the same rigorous standard as a 6pm ,BBC1 News bulletin. ( the Tweets probably reach a wider audience, so even more need for rigour)
PS: Thanks for the various links Jo, I've benefitted from reading them)
Hamish100 says:
It appears part of the media war has been lost to the britnats.
Who & How?
Well, Wings Over Scotland chieftan has just came out again attacking the main party of independence . Yip 2 days before a General Election. In part it would seem for his apparent dislike of the First Minister. Does he not like women in power some may ask?
So an Indy blog has been turned. Thankfully the FM and her main team while on television and ready in the main have done a grand job. Listen to the applause given to them by audiences in England. I have no doubt it has rubbed onto some Scots.
The SNP has to persuade the undecided and the waverers not the committed independence supporter.
Luckily, It can ignore web based sites based in Bath, England and its reducing band of acolytes. How sad, never mind, Oh dear!
Meanwhile, things get even worse at the Herald. They'll soon be moving premises into a phone box at this rate!
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-50727975
Well, Kuennsberg is undaunted.
She's just reported in to Politics Live to tell them that those trusted "sources" of hers have information about the postal votes and, "it's looking grim for Labour."
So there you are, more unverified "news" from Kuennsberg, this time, on something that the Parties aren't even meant to have access to…postal votes.
MBC says:
Davidson said the same at the indyref and was never held to account for it. No-one should have been looking at or have access to the postal votes before the official count.
True MBC. It's disgraceful.
Yes, scary, I agree. But was it not ever thus? What about the Zinoviev letter? Or the rumour that sparked the French Revolution? (That the aristocrats had begun slaughtering the peasants).
Has anybody been following the Yorkshire Post? After the incident with the wee boy and the coats at Leeds General, which YP broke, the editor has come out full blast against this stuff and tweeted 'never again should the people of this country have to navigate through such a maelstrom of disinformation in order to decide for whom to vote'. Well said! These regional papers may be powerful voices in the fight back. Not sure who owns the YP but maybe not the Big Four. Maybe we should be allying ourselves with what fragments of independent journalism are still alive in the provinces distant from the London bubble?
I believe it was a journalist from the Telegraph who claimed that the mother of the wee boy had "set up" the story. Shocking.
David Allan says:
"A BIG LIE" is a propaganda technique, the expression coined by Hitler in Mein Kampf,about use of a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone " could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously". I'll omit the detail of Hitler's example.
There's been a few Big Lies out there and the Journos responsible should be made to publicly apologise for fanning the flames without a genuine attempt to establish the veracity of their story or it's source.
Fake news has almost now become the norm.
What a wonderful beacon of democracy we all live in !
Re your comment on 13 December at 9.40pm
You object to my statement; "You are making the claim that Jeremy Corbyn is the victim of a Jewish conspiracy."
Your response is; "I said no such thing." Plainly that is correct but it does not make what you DID say acceptable. I did not misquote you. I drew a conclusion from what you wrote.
My point was – and is – that what it was entirely reasonable, in fact unavoidable, to draw the conclusion I drew from your original comment.
That is why I gave you the opportunity to modify your comment. When given that chance, you did not do so.
In passing, your original comment strikes me as the antithesis of treading warely.
Chief Rabbi is a good friend and supporter of Boris and the tories so his opinion should not be taken as an independent one. Laura Kuenssberg should be sacked – she's the antithesis of decent journalism

Two Shot: Everything You Need to Know
A two shot is a shot that shows two subjects in the same frame. The subjects don't necessarily have to be next to each other, sometimes a subject is in the foreground and the other is in the background. With the two shot, the director can choose between close-up shots, medium shots, long shots, and everything in between.
Origin of the Two Shot
The two shot first originated on television as an inexpensive way of getting both subjects inside of the frame without having to shoot more than one setup. Once it grew in popularity, the film industry began to use it. As filmmakers got more creative with their types of shots, they began to play around with the two shot. Now you can see it in many variations, as any shot with just two subjects in it is considered a two shot.
The Purpose of a Two Shot
Filmmakers use the two shot to show the emotions and reactions of two people in a scene, and they can play around with what the two shot conveys. Overall, the meaning behind the two shot heavily depends on the dynamic of the two subjects and the context surrounding this kind of framing, Let's explore different ways directors use it:
Showcasing Romantic Relationships
It's a great way to show a budding romance throughout a scene. For example, if one character is professing their love for another character, the two shot can show the audience the non-speaking character's reaction as the other speaks. If you were to use a shot where you only see the love, you might feel a sense of suspense, whereas the two-shot framing helps you understand the romance during the dialogue.
Highlighting Intimate Actions
It's also useful when showing an action happening between two characters. Whether that be a romantic scene where they kiss or an intense scene where they fight. If you were to see the same actions in a wide shot that includes other subjects, this could lose the intimacy between the two characters.
Comparing and Contrasting Characters
If two characters react differently, you can see they may be at odds with one another. You see this in "500 Days of Summer" right before the bar fight scene. At this point in the film, Summer feels distant from Tom. In a two shot, Summer seems stoic and cold while Tom leans into her, not realizing anything is wrong.
Visualizing How Characters Grow Apart
Likewise, if the two subjects are far apart in a two shot, this could indicate that their relationship is distant or that they feel uncomfortable around each other. The story may begin with the characters being close and touching, and then you see them getting farther apart throughout the film. The director may choose to frame the characters in a close-up two shot to begin with and then switch to a long shot as the relationship deteriorates.
Revealing information
Filmmakers can use the two shot to play with information revealed in a scene. For example, if two characters in a horror film look shocked and scared, you know they are both seeing something really scary.
Examples of the Two Shot
You can see the two shot in many films and television shows throughout classic and modern media. These specific examples can give you a better idea of how directors use the two shot to establish character relationships and move the story along:
If you have seen a Western film, you likely have seen a two shot where two cowboys stand far apart while facing each other. This is evident in the classic film, "Silverado" during the final shootout scene. The two shot establishes tension as you wait for each cowboy to draw his gun. There is also a third bystander character that you get to see in multiple three shots. By switching between two shots, three shots, and single-subject shots, the audience gets to see each character's reactions and relationships toward each other.
You may also see the two shot when two characters are eating at a restaurant. There are countless films where the frame captures two characters sitting face-to-face in a diner booth. For example, in the film "Pulp Fiction," many of the scenes take place in a diner location. Throughout the film, director Quentin Tarantino uses the two shot to establish different emotions, such as an energetic romance and high tension. Tarantino plays around with the framing and angles of these two shot scenes to establish completely different meanings.
Another popular two shot is called a "two shot west" where the characters are facing forward, toward the audience. This type of scene is quite common if two characters are at the theater. It creates the illusion of how you would actually talk to someone else as you watch a film or a play. You see this shot in the film "La La Land" during the movie date scene where Mia and Sebastian begin to fall in love. Both actors are facing the screen, but the audience gets to see each subject stealing quick glances and smiles at each other.
The two shot west is also quite common in driving scenes where the camera is in front of the car or on the hood, facing the actors. In the Netflix show, "Dead to Me," there are countless scenes where two characters are in the car. We often get to see Jen and Judy's separate reactions to an event at the same time. The two shot helps the filmmaker juxtapose these two very different characters.
Three Shot: Definition
Like the two shot, the three shot tells you how many characters are in the frame at once, in this case, three. The three shot is quite popular in television shows and films where there are three main characters. For example, in the "Harry Potter" franchise, you often see shots with Harry, Hermione, and Ron all in the same shot. Since Harry is the protagonist, you often see him in the foreground of the shot.
Another movie that loves to use the three shot is "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." When Ferris, Cameron, and Sloane are all in Cameron's dad's car, you see Ferris and Sloane looking relaxed and happy while Cameron is anxious in the back seat. This is a great way to show all three of these characters' attitudes and behaviors alongside one another.
Four Shot: Definition
Considering a two shot has two subjects and a three shot has three subjects, then you can guess that a four shot has four subjects. Though this may create a busier scene, it is quite easy to get four subjects in a frame if you do a medium or long shot. You see this shot in the original "Ghost Busters," when all four characters react to the giant marshmallow man. You can see all of them working together to come up with a plan and destroy the monster.
It's also a way to create separate identities for multiple central subjects. You see this in the television show and movie franchise, "Sex and the City." All four main characters often walk alongside each other on the streets of New York City. This shot is a way for the director to show each character's unique sense of style and attitude. It also shows that these women are very connected and travel in a pack.
You can see the two-shot technique across many movie genres since it is a versatile framing option. Learn more about these framing options and more by enrolling in our Cinema Production program.

Help us fight muscle disease. For Sara and for all the other children.
The Dutch Stichting Voor Sara was established at the end of 2016 by Sara Verbrugges parents. Sara is a lively 2 year old girl from Dordrecht in The Netherlands who was born with the incurable muscle disease MDC1A.
MDC1A is a hereditary muscle disorder often noticed at birth or within the first few months of life. It is a type congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD) and has an incidence of 1 in 30,000 to 1 in 100,000. MDC1A is caused by a defect in the LAMA2 gene which is responsible for the production of laminin α2 protein (previously called merosin). MDC1A is sometimes referred to as LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy.
The aim of the foundation is to have more research done into this disease. But also to inform the general public about the many unknown and rarely occurring muscle diseases and the impact these have on sufferers and their families.
MDC1A is a congenital muscle dystrophy which manifests itself as muscular weakness . Babies with MDC1A often appear floppy and may not move as much as other babies. Children with MDC1A reach motor milestones later than other children and only a very small proportion of children with MDC1A are able to walk independently. Muscle weakness does not tend to rapidly progress and motor function remains relatively stable throughout childhood. When children reach puberty however, and grow taller and heavier, children might experience additional difficulties. Children may develop, or be born with, 'contractures'. A very common problem in children with MDC1A is weakness of the respiratory muscles, which results in frequent chest infections and poor breathing at night. Respiratory issues usually stabilize or improve in the first few years. In adolescence however, respiratory function may begin to decline. Most children with MDC1A also develop a curvature of the spine (scoliosis). Another frequent problem is feeding difficulties and the accompanied weight loss. In the worst cases patients die in childhood.
There is no cure for MDC1A and no therapy that combats the underlying cause. Physiotherapy can help prevent the 'contractures', children may develop or are borne with, and a programme of exercises should be worked out with a physiotherapist very soon after diagnosis, but surgery is often eventually required to release contractures. It is important to monitor respiratory function during the night and children may need to use a ventilator at night with a special facial or nasal mask. For some patients this is insufficient and a tracheostomy is needed. Respiratory issues usually stabilise or improve in the first few years, but, in adolescence however, respiratory function may begin to decline requiring more ventilator support. It is important to make sure that children with MDC1A are well nourished. Often the swallowing muscles are weak and feeding supplements are needed.
Stichting Voor Sara believes that by investing in research it must be possible to halt these rare muscle diseases. Because Sara is not alone. There are thousands of children with some form of rare muscle disease.
A research team of the Expertisecentrum Nemo and the university of Maastricht have started with a research plan that could help countless children. For this research, however, half a million euro is needed. With your support we can raise this sum. A breakthrough would not only help Sara but many more children.

OSA Volunteer and CNPS member, Dave Chapman organized a series of three burn area surveys.
Burn Team volunteers included members of the local chapter of the California Native Plant Society.
Burn started in an off-trail area of the preserve and destroyed +/- 20 acres before it was contained.
The fire provided a unique opportunity to increase our knowledge of plant regeneration.
Burn survey team members fan out looking for new plant growth.
Flames, extreme heat left this soap root a charred hull.
We saw lots of this plant, which reminded me of a type of pigweed. Leaves had a fleshy feel to them.
The leaves of this plant reminded me of a dandelion.

Radical Islamic immigration strategy
By EARL COX
Published: FEBRUARY 28, 2017 02:19
As immigration protests surge at airports and cities across the United States and in other places around the world, President Donald Trump continues to stand by his Jan. 27 executive order, with some adjustments, restricting immigration and his pledge to safeguard the citizens of the United States. Acknowledging America as a nation of immigrants, he vowed "compassion to those fleeing oppression…while protecting our own citizens and borders." The importance of protecting borders from illegal entry is something Israel has known for a very long time yet she is unjustly criticized by the international community for protecting her citizenry from those whose objective is to perpetrate acts of terror.
Trump's order temporarily suspends immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries that sponsor terrorism and provides improved vetting of radical Islamic terrorists. With certain exceptions such as those with work permits, refugee entry into the U.S. has been largely curtailed for Syrian refugees and those traveling from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Unlawful entry is a detriment to the national security of democratic countries. It opens the door to terrorist infiltration and, in the case of Israel, would have a major negative impact on the demographic balance of the Jewish state.
Nevertheless, Trump's immigration policy stirred up a hornet's nest around the world. In the United States, lawsuits challenging the order say it is discriminatory and violates constitutional rights. But case law overall indicates that noncitizens do not enjoy such rights. In all the brouhaha, a crucial and determining factor for keeping America and other Western democracies safe is being overlooked by the media and is missing from public discourse. Islam's own immigration strategy is not part of this discourse but it should be.
In the Muslim Brotherhood's 1991 "General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America," purposeful Muslim immigration is Stage One of radical Islam's battle against the West and Western values. The 1987 Muslim Brotherhood Project presents Islam as a "civilization alternative" supporting a "global Islamic State" through jihad ..."to eliminate and destroy Western civilization from within, and to sabotage its miserable house…so it is eliminated…so that Islam is victorious over all other religions." Islam is on a global caliphate mission with a country-by-country political strategy of subjugation in four stages beginning with immigration ("settlement") and population expansion. The second stage is "consolidation of power"—via demands for deferential treatment, religious accommodation, judicial, cultural and educational non-integration, and covert efforts to destroy the host society from within. This is achieved by undermining the power base of non-Muslims and their religions, especially Jews and Christians. The third stage is "Open War." The fourth is transformation of the host state to an Islamic theocracy under sharia law, which denies and destroys non-Muslims' rights, freedoms, religions, culture, worship and populations. Most global jihadist organizations embrace this theology, including Hamas, Hezbollah and Palestinian militants who threaten Israel from the southwest, north and from its own heartland, squeezing her forcibly from three sides.
The only two countries that acknowledge radical Islam's goal of a worldwide caliphate are Israel and the United States, though political correctness misleads some. Israel is a Jewish state and the United States historically was founded on Judeo-Christian values. In democracies, immigrants are free to live and worship as they choose, but not to unravel the fabric of the society, culture and country that has welcomed them. Democracy's "melting pot" doesn't mix with radical Islam, because Islam and freedom cannot coexist.

Rating: R for Art Model Nudity, Surprising Sexual Partners, and Some Language Here and There
The French Dispatch is about the staff and subjects of an American magazine that covers a small but colorful fictional French town. It's published as an insert in the Liberty, Kansas Evening Star newspaper, so it's basically like a midwestern Parade, but with the vibe of The New Yorker. Which all begs the question: who is the intended audience of The French Dispatch*? (*The fictional newspaper, that is, not the movie of the same name. [Although by extension, you could ask the same thing about the movie, though that conversation would be a little different.]) It feels like somebody dared Wes Anderson to create an anthology film of the most esoteric stories ever and he then declared, "Challenge accepted." As I watched I wondered what made these stories worth telling, and I believe that the answer is: they're worth telling because they're worth telling. So in that way, The French Dispatch is very much like Little Women.
The fictional French town in this movie is called Ennui-sur-Blasé, which literally translates as "Boredom-on-Blasé," but there's no way you'll be bored while watching a film that's as overstuffed as this one. Overwhelmed, perhaps, but not bored. (But if somehow you are bored, please let me know about your experience. It's interesting when someone's reaction is so different than mine!) The anthology structure is composed into five sections, two to set the context and three to dive deep. First up is an introduction of the staff, particularly editor-in-chief Arthur Howitzer Jr. (Bill Murray), a my-way-or-the-highway type, except when he readily makes concessions to his writers' peculiarities. Then travel writer Herbsaint Sazerac (Owen Wilson) takes us on a bicycle tour to provide color for the town. The fleshed-out stories include the journalist-subject pairings of Tilda Swinton covering incarcerated artist Benicio Del Toro; Frances McDormand covering student revolutionaries led by Timothée Chalamet and Lyna Khoudri; and Jeffrey Wright as a food journalist covering the story of a police officer's kidnapped son that also features a very talented chef.
The French Dispatch is a love letter to a time and a place when you could throw whatever budget you felt like at whatever story you felt like covering. Based on the accounts of people who were involved in that era, that characterization actually isn't that far off from how 20th century American journalism really was run. But it's so different from journalism's current state of affairs that it might as well be from another universe. Appropriately enough then, The French Dispatch felt to me like it was beaming in from an alternate dimension. I don't know how these stories could have ever possibly been conceived, but I'm glad that I've now experienced them.

This Is a Movie Review: Cézanne et moi
jmunney Cinema, Movie Reviews Alice Pol, Cézanne et moi, Danièle Thompson, Déborah Farnçois, Guillaume Canet, Guillaume Gallienne, Sabine Azéma Leave a comment
This review was originally published on News Cult in March 2017.
Starring: Guillaume Canet, Guillaume Gallienne, Alice Pol, Déborah Farnçois, Sabine Azéma
Director: Danièle Thompson
Rating: R for Artistic Nudity and Best Friends Yelling at Each Other
Release Date: March 31, 2017 (Limited)
Paul Cézanne caresses his wife/model Hortense's naked chest to more thoroughly know his subject. This could be played as intense intimacy, or it could be discomforting invasiveness. Instead it is an illustration of how the Post-Impressionist painter is dead inside, lost to his art at the expense of his family. That is not to say he lacks passion. Oh no, he has passion to spare for a million still lives and portraits. It is just too untamed to be anything other than destructive.
Cézanne et moi dramatizes the friendship between Cézanne (Guillaume Gallienne) and novelist Émile Zola (Guillaume Canet), but friendship in this context feels like a bit of a misnomer, considering the amount of screen time they spend verbally tearing into each other. It is de rigueur, in life but especially in cinema, that artists' lives must be tortured. That can be fascinating, but this is just unpleasant. That is a shame, because Gallienne and Canet are both laser-focused in their performances. The shouting matches themselves are not the problem so much as their endlessness. It is essentially the same fight over and over. It is not emotionally draining, just tiresome.
At least the cinematography is splendid. As befitting a film about an artist, the landscapes are beautiful. The French countryside is lush and inviting, but alas, it does not really illuminate anything about Cézanne or Zola's psyches. The decoration is there to be admired, while the story trudges on. I root for these friends to work through their issues, but I also wish it would all just happen off screen.

Q: How can I make a recursive Promise call to be the return for a reduce in Javascript? I'm trying to create a recursive Promise call inside a reduce in JS. The goal for my system here is to make n big calls for each item in the array that reduce plays with, then, if, inside that reduce that big call decides it needs n smaller calls before it gets back to the big ones, then the reduce shouldn't skip to the next item, just wait for it to finish.
My current code is:
function download_preliminary_files_1() {
    let demo_schema_download = new Base_Ajax_Requester(
        localized_data.ajax_url,
        {
            'ajax_action': 'download_demo_file_schema',
            'ajax_nonce': localized_data.ajax_nonce,
            'backend': {
                'data_handle': 'download_demo_file_schema_data',
                'data':
                    {
                        'demo_handle' : 'demo-2',
                    }
            }
        }
    );

    let import_files_download = demo_schema_download.call().then(function() {
        fake_data.steps_to_import.reduce(function(previous_promise, next_step_identifier) {
            return previous_promise.then(function() {
                let file_download = download_demo_file({
                    'demo_handle' : 'demo-2',
                    'step' : next_step_identifier
                }).call();

                file_download.then(function(response) {
                    /**
                     * Here, if I detect that response.remaining_number_of_files > 0, I should start
                     * a chain that keeps calling `download_demo_file` with new parameters.
                     *
                     * Then, when this chain is done, resume the normal reduce behavior.
                     */
                });
            });
        }, Promise.resolve())
    }).catch(function(error) {
        console.log( 'Got this error:' + error);
    });

    return import_files_download;
}

Where Base_Ajax_Requester is a helper class that handles AJAX requests and returns a Promise when it's done so code could be written around it.
My fake_data is:
let fake_data = {
    'demo_handle' : 'demo-2',
    'steps_to_import' : [ 'elementor-hf','post', 'nav_menu' ]
}

As you can see fake_data.steps_to_import.reduce(.. will go through these 3 values, for each of them call download_demo_file, wait for it to finish, then proceed to the next. We could say that I'd like to, between elementor-hf and post to have n smaller calls.
The initial call to download_demo_file is seen up there, here's what will always come back from the back-end:
{
    'message' : '...',
    'file_number' : 1, //Which -n.xml file has been downloaded where n is this number.
    'remaining_number_of_files' : 1 //Calculates, based on what file was downloaded how many files are left. The system knows internally how many files it has to download.
}

The retry call, again, with download_demo_file would look like:
{
    'demo_handle' : 'demo-2',
    'step' : next_step_identifier,
    'file_counter' : 2 //Dynamic. This will signal that it needs to now download file-2.xml.
}

...and so on, until the back-end sends remaining_number_of_files : 0, then it all stops because there are no more files to download and it can skip to the next big call.
How can I achieve this?

A: Inside each reduce callback, I'd make a function that calls download_demo_file (with a changing file_counter), and after that Promise resolves, recursively returns a call of itself if remaining_number_of_files > 0. This will mean that getProm() will continually call itself until the remaining_number_of_files > 0 condition is not fulfilled anymore, and that only after that will the whole Promise for that particular reduce iteration resolve.
let import_files_download = demo_schema_download.call().then(function() {
  fake_data.steps_to_import.reduce(function(previous_promise, step) {
    let file_counter = 1;
    return previous_promise.then(function() {
      const getProm = () => download_demo_file({
        demo_handle: 'demo-2',
        step,
        file_counter
      }).call()
        .then((response) => {
          file_counter++;
          return response.remaining_number_of_files > 0
            ? getProm()
            : response
        });
      return getProm();
    });
  }, Promise.resolve())
}).catch(function(error) {
  console.log('Got this error:' + error);
});

The code would probably be a lot easier to read and understand with async/await, though:
await demo_schema_download.call();
const import_files_download = [];
for (const step of fake_data.steps_to_import) {
  let response;
  let file_counter = 1;
  do {
    response = await download_demo_file({
      demo_handle: 'demo-2',
      step,
      file_counter
    }).call();
    file_counter++;
  } while (response.remaining_number_of_files > 0);
  import_files_download.push(response); // is this needed?
}
return import_files_download; // is this needed?

Catch in the consumer of the async function.

Q&A Series #1 - "I've seen some really cheap SunPower Flexible Solar Panels, what's the difference between theirs and yours?"
Each week Jason chats to people who are seeking clarification or understanding about their 12 volt set ups and what they can do to improve them. From those who are complete novices, know little/nothing about 12 volt and are starting from scratch, to those that have a few bits and pieces and just want to be able to camp off-grid for longer.
I pour over these emails myself, asking questions when they hit technical points that I don't fully understand, and learn so much. I feel like the conversations he is having would be beneficial to others, so over the next few weeks (at least) I'll be putting together a series of small articles. They'll be written by me (with Jason ensuring my basic understanding is correct), and so will be easy to understand. Be aware that because they are written by me, the explanations are often a simple overview of how things work - there are exceptions to rules and if you do need more technical answers feel free to drop us a line!
The first thing to clarify is what is, and isn't, a SunPower cell. SunPower are global leaders in solar technology, and their name often gets bandied around and used (particularly on eBay) for listings which actually aren't SunPower cells. Some retailers will use the words "sun power cells" – which is technically true, cells are powered by the sun, but they are not "SunPower" cells. Others will outright lie, saying they are when they aren't, while others will say they are, genuinely believing that what they have been told by their supplier is true, but have never bothered to checked.
Well, short of buying two panels and chopping one up (the backing on SunPower cells is distinctive, see image below), there's a few ways.
Firstly, SunPower make a back contact cell, and as such, do not have lines running across individual sections of the cell, nor do they have tape connectors running across the front of the cell. Below is images from two listings which have "Sunpower" in the heading on eBay. You can see the lines running across the front of the cell, meaning this is absolutely not a SunPower cell.
What if the product photos aren't detailed enough to see up close? Simply ask. If they dodge your question and cannot provide any proof/information to back up their claims, back away quickly. While they aren't likely to provide documentation from their suppliers (to protect their own products from being copied), chatting to them and gauging their responses will give you a feel for whether they are being truthful. If its really Sunpower, they cost more to make and as such cost more to buy. The would have back up to prove their claims if legitimate.
The problem now arises that while some retailers can honestly say they have SunPower cells, they then may do one of two things. Firstly, they may continue to use the efficiency rating attributed to the premium range, when in fact, the reality is the efficiency is likely much lower. Which (in "Kathleen" language) means that a panel marketed as a 100W panel may not actually be 100W after all. Alternatively, they might not give you the efficiency rating at all, and just overstate the power of the panel outright.
How do you know a SunPower panel is actually the watts stated??
To work out what's really going on, to determine what you are actually buying, is simple math. Start by counting up the number of cells on the panel shown (they are squares with corners cut, which may or may not be cut into 2 or 3 pieces), divide the panel wattage stated by the number of cells.
Let's say this panel is stated as being 200W. It is 6 cells wide and 8 cells long.
Then have a look at the table below, which shows the premium SunPower cells available, and their price per cell (there are different generations and differing grades - this information is freely available on their website). If the number you get is over 3.64W, then you know for sure they're telling porkie pies, because the Ultra Premium Performance Cells are the highest performing cells that SunPower makes available for purchase by distributors (there are higher performing cells, but SunPower keeps these for their own panels).
This panel is listed at 100W.
Now, as you can see, the watts per cell on this panel are below the lowest wattage on the price list above. When SunPower manufacture their cells they have exact standards that each cell must meet in order to make it into their own panels. Everything else is on sold to distributors (these are those in the table above), who can then manufacture their own panels, still with "SunPower" cells, just not meeting the specifications set by SunPower for their own panels. 3.125W, however, is well below the lowest cell that SunPower list, which means that these cells are very low quality. This is what is called "Out of specification" cells and are actually rejects for third party sale.
What this means in practical terms, is that this panel, at 100W, will be significantly bigger than a 100W panel using a higher grade SunPower cell, ie. you get less watts per area - and space is always at a premium on top of a van or fourbie.
The next thing to look at when comparing flexible panels is the laminate used. This is the top layer on the panel and is what stands between the cell and the elements.
Flexible panels should be laminated with ETFE, which is manufactured in Japan or US by companies like Dupont. It is a fluorine-based plastic, designed to have high corrosion resistance and strength over a wide temperature range. If a manufacturer/retailer uses ETFE they will advertise it, 100%. It is about 6 times more expensive to purchase compared to PET or TPT, so if they use it they will list it. Flexible panels are not supposed to be made with PET. It's a cheap manufacturing shortcut and will significantly reduce the longevity of your flexible panels. Ever seen what a plastic water bottle looks like when left in the sun for 12 months? Totally discoloured, turns milky and is no longer clear. They break down in the UV and your panel loses its ability to receive sunlight on the cells. These are the type of panels that melt, blister, delaminate, catch on fire etc and are where the horror stories about flexible panels comes from.
Finally, are you wanting to use the flexible panels in parallel (ie. join them together)? The vast majority of product pages for cheaper flexible panels state that they cannot be connected in parallel. If you are planning on purchasing more than one, or hooking it up to an existing panel, this should be a big red flag to bypass this retailer.
Jason and I set out to create products that we could stand behind 100% and would be happy with for our own family. We chose SunPower cells for our AllSpark flexible solar panels and blankets because of their high rates of efficiency (which, simply put, is their ability to convert sunlight to electrical power in a comparable surface area to other cells), ability to deal with the high temperatures found in Australia, their performance in shade and their longevity. We chose to go with the more expensive, higher performing cells, because we felt that getting as much solar into a small amount of space is important. We also use the ETFE laminate, which protects the cells long term. This was an absolute non-negotiable for us. There is no point going to the time and effort to fit these panels only to have them quickly reduce in efficiency, and then have to replace them a year later when they begin to peel or discolour.
If you're looking to purchase flexible panels, we believe your best option is to wait until you can afford good quality, especially if they are going to be exposed to the elements for long periods of time.
be prepared to change it over in a year or so, understand the longevity of it and keep an eye on when your warranty term is coming to an end – anything wrong? Contact the retailer and hold them to the terms of their warranty.
if you are not travelling full time/for extended periods, ensure the panels do not sit out exposed to the sun unnecessarily when not in use.
don't direct stick a panel that may not last, fix it securely knowing that it may have to be removed in the future – using Sikaflex or similar will more than likely damage the surface when removing the panel.
speak with the retailer before purchase, make sure the numbers add up and that they will actually answer your questions and return your calls. If they insist their numbers are correct, ask for evidence – testing results from their own panels, not manufactured graphs/tables (unfortunately official looking specification tables can be completely fabricated).
make sure the cable size is correct for the panel you are using – small cables can result in substantial voltage drop, meaning your much larger, but cheaper panel could produce less power than a good quality, slightly more expensive, smaller one (more on cable sizing in an upcoming article).
make sure the controller is the correct volt and amp rating for your panel, and of the best quality you can afford – a good quality controller can help draw the most power out of a lower quality panel (only to a point though).
As always, we are here to help, and not just with products we sell. If you can't stretch to high quality products, please don't hesitate to throw up a question on the Offroad Living Facebook Tribe group about what you are looking at, Jas will give an honest opinion which will help you determine the best option for you within your budget.

Highway-Railroad Crossing
Rail Financial Information
Rail Safety Information
Blocked Crossings
According to Nebraska Code - A railroad company or a railroad track owner operating trains over tracks within the State of Nebraska shall not block a public highway-rail grade crossing, for a period of time in excess of ten (10) minutes, except if the train is moving in a continuous forward or backward direction, or if the train is stopped for an emergency condition, including an accident, derailment, critical mechanical failure, track or bridge washout, storm, flood, or other emergency situation.
A one-time exception of up to, but not exceeding, ten (10) additional minutes shall be authorized under the following conditions:
When a train and its crew, operating under the rules of the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is unable to complete a switching maneuver while setting out or picking up rail cars within the ten (10) minutes.
When a train is stopped to allow the passage of a second train and the stopped train has exhausted the ten (10) minutes, if the arrival of the second train is imminent and separation and coupling of the stopped train would result in further unnecessary blocking of the highway-rail public grade crossing.
When a train is cut or separated to prevent blocking of a highway-rail public grade crossing, the time required for re-coupling a train and performing air tests as required by the FRA will not be considered a violation.
Every railroad shall be operated in such a manner as to minimize obstruction of emergency vehicles at highway-rail public grade crossings.
Trains blocking a public crossing for more than 10 minutes and not meeting the requirements of Nebraska code shall break the train to provide access to the public. A train cut to clear a public crossing shall not leave cars, engines or equipment within 250 feet of the crossing.
Citations for noncompliance may be issued by local law enforcement authorities, but issuing these citations is problematic and seldom effective. The best resolution is to work with the railroad to come to some kind of accommodation.
To report a violation call Union Pacific at 800-848-8715 or BNSF at 800-832-5452.
Contact the highway authority (village, city, county or state) responsible for the particular roadway and ask them to work with the operating railroad company to seek repairs to the crossing.
If the rough crossing is located on a state highway, you can also contact our team at 402-479-4434, 402-479-4515, or ndot.rail@nebraska.gov.

About The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
Founded in 1855, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is the birthplace of pediatric medicine in America. Throughout its history, a passionate spirit of innovation has driven this renowned institution to pursue scientific discovery, establish the highest standards of patient care, train future leaders in pediatrics and advocate for children's health. A haven of hope for children and families worldwide, CHOP is a nonprofit charitable organization that relies on the generous support of its donors to continue to set the global standard for pediatric care.
About Minds Matter: Improving Pediatric Concussion Care
Concussions receive substantial attention in national media, but these injuries affect more than just professional athletes. An estimated 650,000 concussions occur among children and adolescents each year in the U.S. Visits to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for concussion have increased by 400 percent since 2009, and a medical record review showed that only half of those cases were sports related. Because the job of a child is school and not sport, focusing on "return to learn," as well as return to play, is essential.
CHOP's primary and specialty care network uniquely positions us to be a regional and national leader in concussion care. Our clinical program serves as the infrastructure for 1) a strong research program investigating the scientific foundation for concussion management and prevention and 2) an evidence-based outreach program that disseminates messages to key stakeholders in concussion management and prevention.
Can't attend, but would like to support the cause?
To learn more about Minds Matter: Improving Pediatric Concussion Care and how you can support The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, please contact Matt DiBattista, Assistant Director, Event Fundraising and Community Partnerships at 267-426-6502.

The film, minus the present-day scenes and the credits, runs two hours and 40 minutes — the exact time it took for the Titanic to go down in the frigid waters off Canada's East Coast..
The Heart of the Ocean in the Titanic film is not a real piece of jewellery, but is hugely popular nonetheless. The jewellery is, however, based on a real diamond, the 45.52-carat Hope Diamond.
The Titanic had a gross tonnage of 46,000 which is less than all cruise ships in the modern Royal Caribbean cruise ship fleet….Tonnage Comparison.Cruise ShipTonnage (Nearest 1000)*** TITANIC **** 46,000 *Empress of the Seas48,000Majesty of the Seas73,0008 more rows
17-yearRose is a 17-year-old girl, originally from Philadelphia, who is forced into an engagement to 30-year-old Cal Hockley so she and her mother, Ruth, can maintain their high-class status after her father's death had left the family debt-ridden.
Who sketched Jack's drawing of Rose that we see in the movie Titanic? Director James Cameron did the sketch of Rose (Kate Winslet) wearing the necklace. It is actually Cameron's hand, not Leonardo DiCaprio's, that we see sketching Rose in the movie. James Cameron also drew all of the pictures in Jack's sketchbook.
At 32 degrees, the iceberg was warmer than the water Titanic passengers fell into that night. The ocean waters were 28 degrees, below the freezing point but not frozen because of the water's salt content.
It's Jack and Rose's movie, but a lot of the people they meet had their own incredible stories. You probably already knew that Jack and Rose, the main characters in the 1997 movie Titanic, weren't real. Like all films "based on a true story," the movie added its own fictional elements to historical events.
Controlled by ocean currents Over a thousand miles from its birthplace and around a fortnight after its collision with Titanic, the last piece of the iceberg disappeared into the Atlantic ocean.
"Nearer, My God, to Thee" is associated with the sinking of the RMS Titanic, as some survivors later reported that the ship's string ensemble played the hymn as the vessel sank. … Feature films based on the Titanic disaster depict the band playing various versions of the hymn or other music.
It should also be noted early that Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet) weren't, in fact, actual passengers on the Titanic. Instead, they were characters created by James Cameron to connect us to the real-life story, in order to get a passionate, emotional connection to this historical account.
How much did DiCaprio make on Titanic? By agreeing to take a pay cut in favour of splitting first-dollar gross points, DiCaprio reportedly earned as much as $50 million for starring in Titanic.
1996Death. That night she peacefully died in her sleep at the age of 100, about a month before her 101st birthday, in 1996. As she died her spirit went to the Titanic wreck and as she walked along it, the Titanic returned to its original splendor and looked like it never sunk.
Of course, the film wasn't really filmed in the ocean. Rather, the water scenes were filmed in a giant pool known as a horizon tank which contained 17 million gallons of water. The tank is located in Mexico's Baja studios.
The post-sinking scenes were shot in a 350,000 gallon tank where the frozen corpses were created by applying a powder on the actors that then crystallized when exposed to water.
The majority of underwater shots from TITANIC in the movie are real! James Cameron dived 12 times to the wreck to capture the ship authentically. In the Titanic Experience, guests can see unique footage of Titanic under the water and study artefacts left on the seabed.
In 1912 she was returning to America aboard the RMS Titanic, with her aristocratic fiancé Caledon Hockley. However, during the voyage she and third-class passenger Jack Dawson fell in love. … Rose survived the ship's sinking, but Jack did not. She later married a man called Calvert, and had at least two children.
Luxury travel company Blue Marble Private will offer diving expeditions to the world-famous Titanic wreck site beginning in May 2018. For a mere $105,129 per person, tourists can explore the wreck off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada during an 8-day expedition.
Eight Harland and Wolff workers were killed during the construction of the Titanic five of whom have been identified. In addition to the fatalities there were 28 serious accidents and 218 minor accidents recorded by the firm.
Even if she did conceive the one time that they had sex, the ensuing trauma of the sinking may have ended any chance of a pregnancy being carried to term. And please keep in mind Rose DeWitt-Bukater and Jack Dawson were fictitious characters. No such characters were on the Titanic.
25 GOT IT WRONG: There Wasn't Really Any LifeBoat Discrimination. One of the storylines in the film that got a big reaction out of audiences was the depiction of Titanic passengers facing class discrimination when it came to who would be able to board lifeboats in an attempt to save their lives.
Question: Was the old lady on the Titanic movie the real Rose? Answer: No, the older version of the fictional character Rose in the movie was played by actress Gloria Stuart.

OPEN Architecture's "Dialogue by the Sea" recently won a top accolade in the German Design Council's honorable Iconic Awards 2017. Located on a quiet beach along the coast of Bohai Bay in China, the project comprises two separate but related landscape-themed museums: the Dune Art Space and the Sea Art Space. The architects were inspired by mysterious ancient caves for the Dune Art Space, while they envisioned the Sea Art Space as a solitary rock emerging from the sea. Together, the two spaces "create a silent dialogue".
The project is currently expected to be complete in 2018. OPEN Architecture shared more details below.

Stuffed peppers are great (and easy) to make for a family meal or casual get-together. My filling for stuffed pepper starts with two simple ingredients – cooked rice and browned ground beef.
You can use leftover cooked rice (from Chinese take-out?) or make your own. Get the rice started first as it usually takes about 20 minutes to cook. Check out my video on "How to Cook White Rice" for a quick review.
While the rice is cooking, get the peppers washed and remove the stem and seeds. Any color bell pepper will do. But remember, the red ones are the sweetest!
Start by slicing off the very top of the peppers.
Then,with a small paring knife, carefully slide the knife around the stem to loosen it. You should then be able to gently pull the stem out.
With a spoon scrape out any remaining seeds and "stem ribs".
It is important that the bell peppers are able to balance upright on their own. Slice off the tiniest bit off the bottom so that the peppers can stand without rolling over.
Set the cleaned peppers snugly in a baking dish and set this dish aside for just a moment.
In a large frying pan, over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and drain off any excess fat. For a quick review, check out my video on "How to Brown Beef".
…which are diced tomatoes with green chilies.
Using a colander, drain one can of black beans in the sink, rinse, and drain again, and add them to the frying pan as well.
Mix everything together and simmer for about 5 minutes.
At this point you could add 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder if you wish.
With a spoon, fill the peppers with the filling.
They should fit snugly in the baking dish!
Cover the baking dish with tin foil and put them in a 375 F. degree preheated oven.
…and continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes until tops are slightly browned and pepper skin can be pierced easily with a fork.
I served these beautiful stuffed peppers with butternut squash and they were fantastic!
Nice! I love stuffed peppers. I never thought to put cheese in the stuffing mix, though. That's a great idea. I'll have to do that next time I make them.
The cheese keeps the filling nice and moist.
For real cheese lovers, once the tin foil is removed, you can add even a bit more shredded cheese to the top of the peppers. That extra 10-15 minutes of cooking will melt the cheese perfectly.
love your site and videos. please make of video of this. i love the combination!
I love peppers and their different colors. Its very nice, i will surely try this dish.
You have a cool site!
I will add it to the ever growing list of video requests!
This recipe has lots of different parts to it. I have found if you cook the rice the day before it feels like a real time saver when preparing these stuffed peppers.
Pity I do not speak Japanese! I can not understand a single word on your site!
I'm wondering about freezing? I like to cook double and freeze for later. I'm guessing wrap and freeze before baking?
I would first blanch the peppers, in boiling salted water, for about 2-3 minutes each and dry them completely.
Make the filling and then fill the blanched peppers. If possible, let the filled peppers thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then bake according to the direction above.
Good Luck! And be sure to let me know how it all turns out!
These would be fantastic for a dinner party as they look so pretty!
These Stuffed Peppers really get the "WOW" reaction when brought to the table! AND they actually re-heat beautifully in the microwave!
Adding the cheese to the meat mixture is such a simple step for keeping the mixture together. I used to sprinkle it on top, but will try this idea. Try substituting a jar of salsa for the tomatoes, adds lots of flavor! Nice site even if you're not a beginner, it gives me ideas for old favorites.
The salsa idea is great! Kathy already had the Rotel substitute going for tomatoes, which adds some chilies to the mix, but salsa would kick it up another notch or two, what with the onions and spices.
There a so many really great salsas available at the grocery store!
It is a very versatile ingredient to have on hand in your food cupboard. I've used it as a topping for baked fish, on top of a baked potato and of course with corn chips!
A can of diced tomatoes and a small can of jalapeños would work beautifully in this recipe, BUT it is easier to just buy one of diced tomatoes with the chilies already in it!
Onions and garlic would also be a GREAT addition to this recipe!
I love your filling recipe, am going to try it in a traditional eggroll wrapper as I look for new fillings to put in them and this one sounds fantastic.
I love the mixed colors of the peppers, nice touch w/ black beans added for FIBER, never knew to put that in its a good filler.
The black beans really do stretch this recipe! These stuffed peppers reheat beautifully in the microwave.
