Come & Get it, Justin Bieber!

I know we might seem like we are Selena Gomez's number one fans with all the post about her but is it our fault that she's awesome? No! Anyways, her new single "Come & Get it" "leaked" today and let me tell you about how many levels of awesomeness it is. No, seriously, let me tell you because this is a review of it.
Selena told us in about her new music earlier in the year and it finally happened. According to basically every source and Selena herself, it was "leaked" today. I'm calling bs on that because her single has been pretty much hyped up since Spring Breakers came out (BTW it was bad) and after she leaked the lyrics on her official site, the single " just happened to leak in the same week and two days before it was going to be released". Look Selena, you might be the Russo Family wizard but you aren't fooling anyone (not that I'm bitter about the single leaking).
Oh-My-Gosh! Let's first talk about the chorus of this song. It's might be simple but damn, it's catchy. It's something that makes you want to dance like no one is watching.
When Seleners first teased us with the a preview, I was a tad scared that this was going to be as bad and disappointing as Spring Breakers but I was wrong. The song is pretty much the best song she has ever released (sorry, but it's better than "Hit the Lights" and "Love You Like A Love Song"). She should have kicked the scene to the curb sooner because they were obviously just holding her back. Now, it's obviously the song is a poke at Justin Bieber no matter what anyone says. The way that the lyrics are written only supports this logic. If she didn't want people to think this then she should haven't had the lyrics come off like that.
Now what doesn't work for this song: Sadly, it's the Bollywood vibe that she tried to add to it. It's honestly not adding anything to the song itself. If you were to remove it from the songs, it would still be a kick ass song. The Bollywood vibe just feels like it's just there for kicks.
Would I recommend this song?: Yes, I do! And I even bought the song on iTunes when it came out!

Single Review: "Woman's World" by Cher
Posted on November 24, 2012 by Steven Kaufman	in Celebrity News, Featured, Music, Pop Project Reviews, Singles and tagged Cher, Diva, Pop project, Woman's World.
Listen to the song now before you continue on with the review:
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Cher is back and better than ever! Her first new single off her untitled upcoming album is pretty much the best thing that has come around this year (sorry Britney). "Woman's World" is Cher's answer to this day and age's obsession with danceable synthesized beats. Cher really pulled this song off and you can tell that she enjoyed working on this song. The song is about her going to the club (you know that it's a kick ass club if Cher goes to it) and empowering everyone, even thought the song is about a women's world. The kicker about this song is that she doesn't even use auto tune! She was the first to use it and she proved that you don't need to use to sound good! Overall, this song is pretty much amazing and a sign that Cher is still able to release a kick ass album.
Pop Project Rating: 10/10
But I'm stronger
Strong enough to rise above
This is a woman's world

Single Review: "Scream and Shout" by will.i.am feat. Britney Spears
Posted on November 22, 2012 by Steven Kaufman	in Celebrity News, Featured, Music, Pop Project Reviews, Singles and tagged Britney Spears, Pop project, Scream and Shout, will.i.am.
So last Saturday the song, "Scream and Shout" by will.i.am feat. Britney Spears leaked before it could hit the radio on Monday. I listened to it on Saturday but decided to officially do a review of it when it was released on iTunes, which was today! So let me start this review off with this: "This song is pretty legit". When I first heard the song, it was something that I could dance to but it wasn't my favorite song in the world . It had a nice beat but it was like the other songs you hear on the radio today. It kept the beat pretty simple and didn't try to have a hypnotic beat. The vocals were also kept simple and Britney didn't over power will's vocal like one would think. Her vocals were short and sweet and kinda wanted me to hear more of her. The more I listened to it, more the lyrics got stuck in my head and I began to extremely like it. Overall, it's an extremely good song. The only thing I would change is a little more Britney and a tad more of a beat.
Pop Project Rating: 8/10
When you hear this in the club
You're gonna turn this shit up

Remembrance Day for Lost Species
When we burst into flight we so filled the sky
That the sun was darkened and day became dusk.
Humblers of the sun we were!
The world inconceivable without us.
The passenger pigeon became extinct one hundred years ago. It was once the most abundant bird in North America. One flock in 1866 was recorded as being a mile wide and 300 miles long. It took fourteen hours to pass the observer and is estimated to have held over three and a half billion birds. A few decades later, numbers plummeted; in part because of changes in land use and deforestation, but primarily because of over-hunting. The passenger pigeon was a cheap and easy source of meat. On September 1st 1914, Martha, the last one, died in a Cincinatti zoo.
I grew up on the outskirts of Glasgow, in one of the new housing estates that bulged at the edge of the city; neat terraces and semi-detached homes for the aspirant working class. At the end of our street was a burn running through a gully with some scrub woodland and beyond that farmland and then some woods and then the moors that ran north towards Loch Lomond. As a kid the burn was my playground, and as I grew up my range gradually extended all the way out to the moor. I was into birds, in that geeky pre-pubescent way: a member of the Young Ornothologists Club and almost a twitcher (though the term hadn't been invented in the early 70s).
What I remember from those years is the incredible variety of bird species, which I'd record when I set out after school and at weekends with my binoculars and guidebook. They were mostly the small, sparrow-sized kind (around then DDT was having a big impact on raptors) but dazzling nonetheless: yellowhammers, corn buntings, green and gold finches, linnets, stonechats, chiffchaffs, pied flycatchers – the list would go on. Writing it down now feels like relearning a forgotten poem, and I can still recognise most of those birds when I see them. Except that now I rarely do.
With evolution, species come and go. Scientists have a term for this natural rise and fall through geological time: the background extinction rate. This refers to species loss in the period before the impact of human civilisation, when for example, on average, every 400 years a single species of bird might become extinct. Conservative estimates put current extinction levels for all species at over a hundred times higher than the background rate. Other estimates say that the level is thousands of times higher. All agree that human activity is causing what has come to be known as the Sixth Mass Extinction.
A couple of examples:-
The Pyrenean ibex, a species of wild goat with spectacular horns, once graced the craggy slopes of the Cantabrian mountains and the Northern Pyrenees. In January 2000, because of habitat decline and over-hunting, it joined its neighbour, the Portugese ibex, in becoming extinct.
Whilst not yet extinct, the northern white rhinoceros, which used to hang out in the grasslands and savannah woodland south of the Sahara desert, is no longer to be found in the wild. In the 1970s there were still hundreds roaming free. There are now seven left, in captivity and heavily guarded against the poachers who would kill them for their horns.
Of course, there has been a reaction to such extinctions, and in some cases concentrated effort on the part of governments and NGOs: declines have been halted and species reintroduced. In Scotland we can be proud of schemes that have reintroduced sea eagles and red kites, and ospreys – there's not much to beat the sight of an osprey in the spring, swooping feet first into a loch and then struggling back into the air with its prize, a flailing trout. You can watch them do that at various sites within a few miles of any city in Scotland. And more recently, a beaver population has been re-established in Argyll to complement the 'unofficial' beavers who, for the past decade or so, have been quietly recolonising the River Tay.
So it's not all bad news. And yet, despite such local successes, the global story is one of increasing alarm. In his book, The Great Animal Orchestra, musician and naturalist Bernie Krause gives an account of the forty years he has spent recording the sounds of the natural world. His archive is a record of decline:
'A great silence is spreading over the natural world even as the sound of man is becoming deafening. Little by little the vast orchestra of life, the chorus of the natural world, is in the process of being quietened. There has been a massive decrease in the density and diversity of key vocal creatures, both large and small. The sense of desolation extends beyond mere silence.'
How do we process this reality? How do we cope with the desolation that "extends beyond mere silence"? Helping those who work to redress the balance is one way. In Scotland, for example, there's Trees for Life, a charity devoted to restoring the Caledonian forest, who can be supported with donations and with practical help as a volunteer. Political pressure can also be applied. Under the EU Habitat Directive, all member states are legally bound to consider the reintroduction of once native species. Our politicians need to be reminded of this at all levels, whether at Holyrood or Westminster.
Underpinning both responses is the call to educate ourselves as to what's really going on. The Sixth Mass Extinction is not just happening to faraway species like the rhinoceros or the ibex, it's happening on our doorsteps, in some cases literally: the last thirty years has seen a 70% drop in the UK house sparrow population.
For those that have already gone, all we can do is grieve. The eco-theologian Thomas Berry suggests that "our primary need for the various life forms of the planet is a psychic, rather than a physical need." He believed that "to wantonly destroy a living species is to silence forever a divine voice." It's important to find a way to mourn such losses and, since 2011, a growing coalition of artists, writers and educators have begun to create a forum for expressing that grief. Remembrance Day for Lost Species is an annual and international event, held on the last day of November. The organisers invite anyone who wishes to participate to create their own act of remembrance or to take part in an event happening in their area. Check out their web page for more information: https://www.facebook.com/internationalremembrancedayforlostspecies
I live in rural Dumfriesshire, but my mum still lives in the same house I grew up in and the burn in the gully is still there, though the area beyond has changed dramatically. The farmland has gone, replaced by streets of ever larger and more expensive homes. A large concrete water reservoir has been constructed in the woods and sections of the moor have been drained for more housing. It's a familiar story of 'progress'. The edgeland birds that so enchanted me as a boy may not yet be extinct, but their decrease in numbers has been so comprehensive that my daughters, the age now that I was then, will never see such a richness. As the organisers of Remembrance Day for Lost Species say, "how can we begin to act effectively, if we do not begin by engaging with grief."

George Minty says:
Let's hope Land Reform goes some way to addressing this issue. It doesn't automatically it's down to the detail.
Many, many thanks for this Dougie. As a biologist, I obviously already have great empathy with the growing 'silence' of the 'divine voices'. However, your memories stirred up many early memories for me (probably in the same scheme from the description) and your words and those of whom you quote have had yet a further profound effect. I am so pleased that there is such a Remembrance Day, which I had not already been aware of. My engagement with grief had already started, but there is plenty to do to begin to act effectively and help to restore the richness of diversity in our land. This should be part of our journey towards independence and is touched on in Lesley Riddoch's excellent book 'Blossom'. I am very grateful to you for your thoughts and for people such as you who share the planet with me.
Dougie Strang says:

Thanks Frank. Glad this struck a chord. It's clear that the land and what we do with it remains a key issue in Scotland, and there's been numerous good articles written here on Bella on the subject. There's a long way to go, but perhaps the latest land reform proposals mark a positive next step.
John Craig says:
Dougie,
just as with Frank, your article brought back a rush of memories for me. The other side of Glasgow for me, but the presence of the Blackcap, Whitethroat, Linnet et al still lingers in my memories. Summers nights when you couldn't get to sleep for the Corncrakes and the roaring of the Lions(courtesy of Calderpark). I fear these days will never return, so much has been lost or given away. One of the biggest problems in bringing back a truly healthy and diverse countryside is quite simply ourselves.
The long awaited land reform proposals are modest in the extreme. There was some expectation of dealing with the big land owners which has failed to materialise; at this time though they are not the real problem. The problem is how to imbue the ordinary Scot with not just a flag waving pride in Scotland, but a pride in the very essence of what it contains. In saying this I ask you to consider the Right to Roam legislation. This unleashed a monster with no regard to the sanctity of land from Golf Courses to Nature reserves. I don't need to quantify that statement beyond observing that Local Authorities are now seeking legal means of excluding people from areas of great beauty because of their disgusting levels of vandalism and littering. The land owning gentry will probably be peeing themselves laughing at this ( not unforeseen) turn of events.
At this time , the juggernaut that is development, the on-going dousing of the land with insecticides and pesticides, the poisoning of our seas by salmon farmers, all these things are bringing our countryside to it's knees and in reality , so very few really care. Until those of us who care have a voice, our Government really isn't going to do anything. There are a number of disparate groups with tenuous links to the welfare of the countryside who should be acting with one voice. A sort of Scottish Countryside alliance, representing not the landed gentry, but the ordinary public. A quasi-political organisation to put pressure on government at the behest of it's members. At this time the likes of S.N.H. and R.S.P.B. have little political clout and hover around in the background in an advisory capacity. An organisation with the ability to sway voting is what is needed.
Veronique says:
Reblogged this on V's Blog and commented:
I didn't know about this Remembrance Day until I read this blog. That day is today in the Southern Hemisphere where so many other species have been lost. I needed to reblog this article.
Calgacus says:
So sad that our SNP government is in bed with the blood sport lobby whilst shooting hundreds of thousands of geese for profit.Disgraceful SNH hang your heads in shame
I detest blood sport but the whole issue outlined in the article as regards species protection is surely one of societal acceptance.
Why try and suggest any political party is liable or supportive? Are you suggesting the Tories or Labour would be stricter.
"We" determine the values and politicians are driven by our votes. Do you think a political party could bring back bull fighting or legalise dog fights?.
I find it cheap and nasty to attempt political point scoring over such an important issue.
http://savetheeaglesinternational.org aren't so SNP friendly either, disturbing to know their plans near where reintroduced red kites fly alongside the recently returned ospreys and where eagles soar, but there's profit to be made, at their cost.
Stevenson says:
Good to see the environment addressed here. Apart from renewables it features hardly at all in the debate over Scotland's future and the SNP seem to have little real interest. The most immediate target should be the criminals who run the grouse moors. The Scottish Government has the powers to tackle the systematic illegal killing of protected species on grouse moors. They also have the power through land reform to end the unsustainable land management practices on grouse moors, which degrade water quality and increase flood risk at some cost to the public.
Alastair McIntosh says:
Good to see Thomas Berry brought in here, Dougie. I've just been writing something about the shamanic function of art in environmental awareness raising and a good example of that is Dougie's own work – see an array of his images at http://dougiestrang.wordpress.com/

Bombardier and CemAir sign order for two new Q400 aircraft
Bombardier Commercial Aircraft announced today that CemAir (PTY) Ltd of South Africa has concluded a firm purchase agreement for two new Q400 turboprops, and has also signed the lease of a used Q400 aircraft that was delivered this month, paving the way for the new aircraft to be delivered afterwards. The letter of Intent (LOI) from CemAir, which was signed on June 21 at the 2017 Paris Air Show, has now been converted into a firm order.
Based on the list price of the Q400 aircraft, the firm order is valued at approximately $66 million US.
"We are delighted that CemAir has selected the Q400 aircraft to expand its fleet", said Jean-Paul Boutibou, Vice President, Sales, Middle-East and Africa at Bombardier Commercial Aircraft. "The Q400 is the next natural step in the growth of CemAir's fleet of Bombardier CRJ Series and Q Series aircraft, as it brings more flexibility to increase the capacity on key routes while their aircraft's superior performance and unbeatable economics support CemAir's growing market position against competitive forces. The Q400 will open several market opportunities to CemAir on domestic and future regional routes."
"CemAir has enjoyed significant growth in the last few years and this has come from our focused approach on selecting the right aircraft for our operation", said Miles van der Molen, CEO, CemAir. "The Q400 is a fantastic performer especially in our environment of high altitudes and hot operating temperatures. It is really an unbeatable turboprop that brings so many jet-like features to ensure a competitive and operational advantage in our market. We see the Q400 as the ideal growth solution for our scheduled and charter operations as we continue to strengthen our relationship with Bombardier. We are working to expand our scheduled operations beyond South Africa and continuing to support new opportunities across the continent."
With these Q400 aircraft, CemAir would increase its current fleet of Bombardier aircraft to 17 – including five Q Series turboprops and 12 CRJ Series aircraft. CemAir recently added a used CRJ900 aircraft to its fleet, the first in South Africa.
Bombardier Commercial Aircraft already has a solid foothold on the African continent with upwards of 190 Q Series turboprops – including over 35 Q Series operators – and CRJ regional jets in operation or on order from customers. Over the next two decades, Africa is expected to take deliveries of 550 new aircraft, and with Bombardier's family of aircraft, the company is well positioned to serve this growing market.

April is the month of fools, but there's no kidding around in Genoa City. Find out who's coming and who's going from "The Young and the Restless," and how the changes will affect daytime's number one drama series!
In just one week "Y&R" let go actor Jason Canela, who played Arturo Rosales, and recast three other important roles. And that's just the beginning of what to expect on-air in the weeks and months ahead.
First, it was announced that daytime newcomer Mark Grossman would take on the role of Adam Newman, previously played by Justin Hartley, Michael Muhney and Chris Engen, respectively. One day later, it was announced that "Greenleaf" actor Sean Dominic would take over the role of Dr. Nate Hastings beginning Wednesday, April 10. He replaces Brooks Darnell in the role. Then, in the biggest shocker to hit daytime television in as many years, it was announced that Michelle Stafford would be returning to "The Young and the Restless" as Phyllis Summers, replacing Gina Tognoni who was let go as a result.
If that weren't enough, the show has hired Mitch Eakins in the role of Brandon Rose, a potential love interest for Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle). After encountering the Newman heiress during a case of mistaken identity beginning with the Wednesday, April 3 episode, the character pops back in on Friday, April 5 and again on Wednesday, April 10. Depending on how the plot thickens, might Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) have a rival for Victoria's affections? Eakins, whose credits include "Days of our Lives" and the CBS drama "SEAL Team," among others, appeared alongside Woody Harrelson in the Netflix film "The Highwaymen." It was released last month on the streaming service.
Jennifer Taylor is back as Rebekah Barlow on Thursday, April 4 and Friday, April 5. The cosmetics owner will once again interact with the businessmen and women of Genoa City as deals need to be made, and money is to be had.
Fun Fact: Muramatsu is a Certified Sommelier through the Court of Master Sommeliers. For those wondering, essentially this means he is an expert on wine.
In addition to Eakins, Taylor and Muramatsu, look for Cathy Marks to appear as a younger version of Dina Mergeron (played by Marla Adams) in a flashback scene on Tuesday, April 16 and Lira Kellerman reprises her role as Sinead on Wednesday, April 10. What shenanigans is she up to this time? You'll just have to tune in to find out!

Why Actress, Lauren "Lolo" Spencer Deserves an Oscar Nomination?
It'sLoloLove
Lauren 'Lolo' Spencer
Lady in Red Diamond Rose Awards 2019
Actress, Lauren "Lolo" Spencer and Oscar
It matters not whether or not we are disabled or not, what connects us all is our humanity"
— Gail Gibson, President, MIMPA
BEVERLY HILLS, CA, UNITED STATES, December 31, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE	CONTACT: GPR – (323) 799-6266
Email: Gail@gibsonpublicrelations.com
Why Actress, Lauren "Lolo" Spencer Deserves an Oscar Nomination?
The Multicultural International Motion Picture Association asks the hard questions to The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences regarding Actress, Lauren "Lolo" Spencer in her breakout role as the first African-American disabled lead female in "Give Me Liberty", a wild ride, according to several film critics. Not since "Rocky" has a film received so many wonderful reviews. Will Oscar ignore this performance and other small budgeted independent films because, "Oscar's So Rich"? Is there a place in Hollywood for disabled actors?
If we focus on the fact that this is Actress, Lauren "Lolo" Spencer's first feature role, there is one thing that cannot be ignored, she delivers on all fronts in "Give Me Liberty", and captivates the viewer with her abilities with such honesty in her role as Tracy the film's leading female role, stated MIMPA President, Gail Gibson. Lolo, as she is fondly referred to, plays opposite Actor, Chris Galust, and other cast members who are virtually unknown.
Lauren braved the cold of Milwaukee, Wisconsin against all odds to make it clear that disabled artist exist and have a place in Hollywood. Stricken with ALS at the age of 14, Lauren Spencer has turned her disability into advocacy for the disabled, as she demonstrates on a daily basis her life with this disease, and although wheel-chair bound, watching her YouTube Channel "SittingPrettyLolo" or her Instagram "it'sLoloLove" have both garnered her a following, making her a champion and inspiration in the eyes of thousands of followers, proving that whether we are disabled or not, the one thing that connects us all, is that we are human.
Nominated for her role in "Give Me Liberty" in the Best-Supporting Actress category at the upcoming Film Independent Spirit Awards, where the movie has also garnered nods in three additional categories, Best Actor, Best Editor, and the Cassavetes Award, and she is slated to receive the Trailblazer Award at MIMPA's 11th Annual Lady in Red Diamond Rose Awards Gala for her advocacy and her role in Give Me Liberty, February 21, 2020 in Beverly Hills.
Described by Manohla Dargis of the New York Times as hilarious, poignant, completely delightfully unpredictable", it follows medical transport driver Vic, who agrees to deliver his Russian grandfather and émigré friends to a funeral, disrupting scheduled clients, particularly Tracy, a young black woman with ALS, played by Lauren "Lolo" Spencer. Vic's day goes from hectic to off-the-rails as their collective ride becomes a hilarious, compassionate, intersectional portrait of America, that "celebrates the connective tissue of humanity" and "reaffirms the resilience of the American Dream".
The ultra-low budget underdog of a film was made with non-professional local cast and shot entirely on location in Milwaukee, America's most segregated city. "Give Me Liberty" premiered at and opened the 2019 Sundance Film Festival, also the 2019 Cannes Film Festival where it was received with an over 10-minute ovation. The film has been released in a number of countries, including France, where it has been playing to great critical and audience acclaim on 100 screens for five straight weeks.
Manohla Dargis describes, "Give Me Liberty" as "A JOLT OF A MOVIE, AN ANARCHIC DEADPAN COMEDY THAT EVOLVES INTO A ROMANCE JUST AROUND THE TIME THE STORY EXPLODES…. IT'S IRRESISTABLE", while Variety calls it, "A BOISTEROUS, FREEWHEELING JOYRIDE". RogerEbert.com hails it as, "ELECTRIC, A FRESH ALL-AMERICAN CROWD-PLEASER" and The Hollywood Reporter praised it as "EXHILARATING! ONE OF THE BEST OF SUNDANCE…. REAFFIRMS THE RESILIANCE OF THE AMERICAN DREAM". –these are just a few of the worldwide reviews garnered by this incredible cast thus far, which makes it a "MUST SEE".
The film features and includes a cast with some disabled individuals and stars, one of them being "Lauren "Lolo" Spencer". RogerEbert.com put "Lauren "Lolo" Spencer on the list of ten best performances at Sundance, calling it "ONE OF THE MOST MEMORABLE…A SCENE STEALING STRAIGHT WOMAN AGAINST THE CHAOS OF THE OTHER RIDERS ON THE VAN"

Every year, the FHA announces lending limits for government-sponsored programs. GoodLife reports these changes to educate seniors on their retirement options.
LAGUNA HILLS, CA, USA, December 31, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Every year, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) announces its new lending limits for government-sponsored programs. GoodLife Home Loans ("GoodLife") reports on these changes to educate seniors about their options in retirement.
Retirees and working seniors who have considered a reverse mortgage are in for good news: The Federal Housing Administration has increased the nationwide lending limit to $765,600 for 2020, according to GoodLife Home Loans.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) offers a number of programs that help Americans meet their housing needs, one of them being the home equity conversion mortgage (HECM), commonly referred to as a "reverse mortgage."
Reverse Mortgage Changes
As a part of HUD's Office of Housing, the FHA insures reverse mortgages to provide lenders with protection against losses, as they agree to pay FHA-approved lenders a claim for unpaid principal balances on defaulted loans. Loans backed by the FHA bear less risk, so they're able to expand their lending parameters to help more seniors with their housing needs. However, the FHA will only insure mortgages up to a certain amount—which recently increased by $39,075 over last year.
GoodLife recently revealed that the nationwide reverse mortgage lending limits for 2020 grew to $765,600 compared to the old limit of $726,525. The new maximum claim amount means that eligible seniors may now be able to receive a higher principal limit on a reverse mortgage loan or a line of credit.
This may prove especially useful to potential borrowers with high-valued homes and large mortgages, since there may now be enough proceeds to pay off their existing mortgage through the HECM reverse mortgage program.
HECMs allow seniors (Age 62 and above) to tap into a portion of their home equity—with an appraised value up to $765,600, then to convert their equity into spendable money. These funds can then be used to pay for a variety of expenses in retirement, including eliminating their current mortgage payment, make home renovations, pay for medical expenses and in-home nursing care, and more. Many seniors living on a fixed, limited income in retirement have found reverse mortgages to be incredibly helpful for improving their cash flow and their quality of life.
GoodLife Home Loans, a trusted reverse mortgage provider, notes that to qualify for the HECM program, you must be at least 62 years of age, own substantial equity in your home, and live in the property as your primary residence.
GoodLife points out that although the lending limit is now $765,600, it does not necessarily follow that approved applicants will receive a loan in that amount. The principal limit borrowers may be eligible for is based on the appraised value of the home, the interest rate of the loan, and the age of the youngest borrower. Ask for their free calculator or get more information on their website.
GoodLife discusses 2020 reverse mortgage changes in detail, including updates to insurance premiums, additions to the appraisal process, and expansion of condominium eligibility criteria at their educational blog. Their mission is to provide seniors and their families with all of the information they need to feel confident in the decisions they make towards their financial future.
GoodLife Home Loans is an FHA-approved lender specializing in HECM loans. They help eligible seniors access a portion of their home equity while they continue to live in the property, so that they may enjoy a comfortable retirement rather than worrying over the cost of living.

Nuclear Leader David Blee, 66, Dies
USNIC (202) 332-8155
Statement By The U.S. Nuclear Industry Council
Few have had David Blee's ability to navigate the corridors of Washington and consistently advance worthy goals as capably as he."
— Hon. Bud Albright, USNIC Chairman
WASHINGTON, D.C., USA, December 31, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — The United States Nuclear Industry Council (USNIC) announced today that its founder and leader, president and chief executive officer, Mr. David Blee died suddenly this past weekend due to medical complications stemming from an adverse reaction to medication he was taking at the time.
For over 15 years since its founding and that of its predecessor organizations, David has been at the helm of USNIC and has been instrumental in guiding and leading industry efforts to win support for nuclear power in the U.S., and internationally. He was a tireless champion and was highly respected and admired by all for his efforts.
Hon. Bud Albright, the USNIC Chairman and former Under Secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy, stated that "the loss of our friend and able leader, David, leaves our hearts hollow. He was a good man. Few have his ability to navigate the corridors of Washington and consistently advance worthy goals as capably as he. We shall miss him terribly, and as he would want, we shall continue to advance innovation, progress, and the application of advanced nuclear energy technology for the betterment of the world." Hon. Albright also reported that the USNIC board has met and has developed a plan to ensure USNIC's continuity and continued advocacy for the U.S. nuclear industry.
David's public service experience included his current appointment to the U.S. Department of Commerce's Civil Nuclear Trade Advisory Committee and past appointments as a Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Energy and Director of Public Affairs for the U.S. Department of Energy – and as Chief of Staff to former U.S. Senator Connie Mack while Hon. Mack was serving in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Prior to founding USNIC and its predecessors, David Blee was an Executive Vice President for NAC International, a U.S.-based energy services and technology company, where he directed the company's Worldwide Consulting Group and Marketing & Business Development portfolios. Mr. Blee was previously a Senior Vice President for the strategic communications firm Robinson, Lake, Lerer and Montgomery.
The son of a Central Intelligence Agency officer who headed divisions in India and the former Soviet Union, David was born in Karachi, Pakistan, and lived 11 of his first 14 years overseas, including six years in India. He graduated from Dickinson College in Pennsylvania with a degree in economics but was soon drawn to politics and public service. David held numerous positions in government and industry over a career spanned several decades but as USNIC's leader he came to focus on efforts to revitalize the nuclear power industry. USNIC plays a key role in many facets of nuclear technology and commerce, and he was widely known as the industry's chief advocate and promoter inside and outside the halls of government.
In addition to his responsibilities as a nuclear industry leader, David was an avid horse racing industry enthusiast and a dedicated and loving husband and father. David Blee died on December 29, 2019 in Kentucky and was 66 years old. David is survived by his wife, Mary Elizabeth, and three children – Cooper, Elizabeth and Augustus Blee; brothers Richard, John and Robert and twin sister Elizabeth.
The United States Nuclear Industry Council (USNIC) is the leading U.S. business consortium advocate for new nuclear and promotion of the American supply chain globally. Composed of over 80 companies USNIC represents the "Who's Who" of the nuclear supply chain community, including key utility movers, technology developers, construction engineers, manufacturers and service.

Lebanon Center for Rehabilitation and Healing Earns Deficiency-Free State Survey
Lebanon Center Leadership Team
LEBANON, TENNESSEE, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, December 31, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Lebanon Center for Rehabilitation and Healing, formerly Lebanon Health and Rehabilitation Center recently earned Deficiency-Free Status during this year's annual health state survey.
The annual survey is conducted by the Office of Health Care Facilities (OHCF) for the Tennessee Department of Health during an unannounced visit that evaluates the center's commitment to quality and compliance with industry state and federal regulatory guidelines. This year's survey for Lebanon Center issued zero citations. In an executive summary issued to the Tennessee General Assembly, roughly only 15% of all nursing homes in Tennessee received Deficiency-Free status last calendar year. This year's health survey success places Lebanon Center in the top 10% for performance in the state of Tennessee.
"At Lebanon Center, we pride ourselves on providing excellent care to the residents we serve, and our 2019 Annual Recertification Survey confirmed it," shared Andrew Jackson, Administrator of Lebanon Center for Rehabilitation and Healing. "Our center is so proud to share with the Lebanon community our zero deficiency report offered by the Tennessee Department of Health. We are thankful for each and every team member here at Lebanon Center, who go above and beyond daily to ensure the very best for our patients, residents, and families," continued Jackson.
Lebanon Center for Rehabilitation and Healing is a proud member of the CareRite Centers Network, supporting those in need of skilled nursing care and short-term rehabilitation throughout New York, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Florida. As part of the CareRite Centers mission, all employees serve as the vital link; they are the core of excellence and compassion that the organization is committed to at large.

Happy New Year and Tamils' wish
Go around the world and ask the Tamils what is their need now. They will say that they need Vigneswaran-Ponnampalam's joint leadership.
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, USA, December 31, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Happy New Year and Tamils' wish
We want to wish for a happy, healthy and prosperous year to our readers and the Tamils in the northeast and the rest of the world.
For the last last ten years, Tamil leadership enjoyed the perks given by Sri Lanka and forgot about the promise that they gave to the Tamils in their election manifesto.
The Tamil leadership weakened the Tamils and made the Tamils to lose their bargaining power. Their approach never brought any resolution or benefit for the Tamils.
It is time for the current elected leaders to go home and for different leaders to take control of the Tamils' political effort.
Therefore we wish to form a new leadership. Gajendrakumar Ponnampalam is a strong Tamil nationalist. We saw his action during the 13 points request from the presidential candidates.
It shows that Mr. Gajendrakumar is very knowledgeable and brave concerning the Tamils' political future.
Former Chief justice and chief minister of the northern provincial council Mr. Vigneswaran's knowledge of our history and communication skills are also very important. He will be able to help explain to the world why Tamils need protection and self-rule.
Therefore our wish is that the two Tamil leaders should join together and take control of the Tamils' future.
Go around the world and ask the Tamils what is their need now. Also travel around the North-east and ask the Tamils. They will say that they need Vigneswaran-Ponnampalam's joint leadership.
Let us pray to make our dream come true

Tamil Diaspora News: Person of the Year in 2020.
To remind the world the suffering of the Tamils, we would like to nominate the war criminal and monster Gotabaya Rajapaksa as the person of year for 2020.
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, December 31, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — The continuous struggle and suffering of the Tamils is not ending soon. The only way this can be solved is by finding justice for the Tamils who lost more than 145,000 loved ones and are still missing more than 25,000. The war created 90,000 widows and left 50,000 children orphaned. The Sinhalese must be held accountable.
The last government by the UNP was a fake. It said that it cared about the Tamils, but in practice it did the opposite. Since the UNP had Western connections, it was able to do anything and avoid international scrutiny.
The UNP government in the northeast instilled many racist Sinhalese Buddhist symbols, settled many more Sinhalese in the region, destroyed Hindu temples, and blocked any effort by the United Nations Human Rights Commission to investigate war crimes.
In addition, the elected Tamil MPs were bought by the Sinhalese government with perks and positions, including a mansion in Colombo-7 with many luxury cars for Tamil leader Mr. Sampanthan.
Tamil leaders in the name of reconciliation have given up on the northeast merger, federalism, and searching for missing people and international investigation of the Sri Lankan war crimes.
During the last government, all paths for the Tamils were blocked by the UNP and TNA.
Gotabaya Rajapaksa's visibility in Sri Lanka as the new president will shine a light on the war crimes and the necessity of a political settlement to protect the Tamils.
Even though Rajapaksa is a war criminal and engineered the mass killings and genocide of the Tamils, it is good to have such a figure in power so that every international player will remember the carnage that happened to the Tamils.
To remind the world the suffering of the Tamils, we would like to nominate the war criminal and monster President Gotabaya Rajapaksa as the person of the year for 2020.

Una prueba antidoping puede ser requerida antes de una contratación laboral, o realizada bajo algún motivo justificado, de ahí la importancia de priorizar un resultado negativo en ella.
Una prueba antidoping es un examen químico que apoya en el procedimiento de detección, prevención y control de uso métodos y sustancias químicas, ya sean drogas ilegales o medicamentos controlados. Regularmente el termino antidoping es asociado el uso de sustancias prohibidas, por ello, también es llamado examen toxicológico, lo que hace referencias al muestreo que se le realiza a una persona para detectar su consumo.
Diversas instituciones actualmente están recurriendo a este tipo de pruebas para asegurarse de no enlistar en su equipo a personas que tengan antecedentes o predisposición al consumo de drogas.
Existen diferentes procedimientos que ayudan a efectuar si una persona consume o no sustancias tóxicas. La prueba antidoping por medio de diferentes muestreos sirve de apoyo en la detección del consumo y se ha catalogado como uno de los análisis más efectivos. Algunos de los más comunes en el campo de la medicina son los siguientes:
Prueba antidoping de orina: Analiza y mide el consumo de sustancias que una persona ha ingerido recientemente, alrededor de tres a cinco días, esto debido a que la mayor parte de las drogas tiene un promedio de vida de 48 horas.

Driving School in Newmarket Treats Driving Anxieties, Trains All Students to "Survive Every Drive" From the Start
Shayraz Khan of Tomorrow's Drivers and a student who passed their Ontario G/G2 road test
Tomorrow's Drivers G2 Test Tips for Newmarket and Markham Drivers
Tomorrow's Drivers in Newmarket helps G1 & G2 drivers overcome on-road anxieties & develop the confidence they need to drive any time, anywhere, at any place.
Cars can be replaced. People can't. Those words might seem harsh, but when you're talking about learning to drive, it's a matter of life and death. And we take nothing lightly."
— Shayraz A. Khan, CEO Tomorrow's Drivers
NEWMARKET, ON, CANADA, December 31, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — For over 10 years, Tomorrow's Drivers, a driving school in Newmarket and Markham, has been teaching students the knowledge of how to make good, confident driving decisions — no matter where they are, and no matter the time of their life. One inhibitor of road safety is anxiety, phobias, traumas or lack of confidence in on-road performance. These fears can contribute to unsafe driving behavior, which endangers the driver and others on the road.
In addition to core training, Tomorrow's Drivers instructors specialize in treating and curing anxieties and phobias about driving. This is a component of all their programs — ranging from their Ontario Ministry of Transportation-approved BDE training for beginner drivers with a G1 license (and even students who haven't yet applied for a G1), to refresher lessons to help drivers easily warm up for their G2 & G road tests.
Instructors analyze how emotions affect the driving student and focus on correcting deep-seated emotional and intellectual bad habits. The goal is to replace bad habits with positive habits in order to develop the emotional confidence of students and make them better drivers.
The symptoms of a phobia can range from mild feelings of apprehension and anxiety to a full-blown panic attack. Physical symptoms can include difficulty breathing, racing or pounding heart, chest pain or tightness, trembling or shaking, feeling dizzy or light-headed, a churning stomach, hot or cold flashes, tingling sensations, or sweating. Sufferers may also experience a range of emotional symptoms such as feeling overwhelming anxiety or panic or feeling an intense need to escape a situation.
People are not born with fears and phobias; instead, these reactions are imprinted in the mind as a learned response from previous negative or traumatic experiences. A driving anxiety could stem from having been in a road accident, witnessing an accident, or being involved in a road rage incident.
The experienced, MTO-licensed instructors at Tomorrow's Drivers work with the part of the mind that harbours fears and phobias. Phobia therapy has proven to be extremely effective, and people tend to see results very quickly. By helping drivers replace a negative behavior pattern with a positive pattern, instructors empower students to be more relaxed and maintain focus and control while driving.
Whether the student has a G1 license, G2 license, or a full license, Tomorrow's Drivers focuses on only one ultimate goal: confidence on the road. It is not sufficient to train only for the road tests, which are easy to pass. The key focus at Tomorrow's Drivers is to fully immerse students in learning the life-saving skills necessary to drive in any situation they may encounter. With these skills mastered, students can be safe and confident drivers.
Driving is one of the most important life skills any person needs to go places; if they fail to have the know-how and confidence to drive after passing their G, not only can it be difficult for them to get where they want — it can put their life even more on the line. That's why it's vital to get the proper driver education, and that's just what Tomorrow's Drivers provides.
For more information about treating driving anxiety, visit the website at Tomorrow's Drivers Newmarket. Tomorrow's Drivers can be contacted by email at message@tomorrowsdrivers.com or by phone at 1 (800) 241-7493.

Tomorrow's Drivers: "Road test warm-up lesson calmed my nerves!"
Online Retailer Launches New Website in Partnership with Creators of 100% Water-Soluble Nanoized CBD Product
Franny4U Logo
The current lineup of SGT Nutraceuticals Life Infused Pain Relief+ organic water-soluble CBD products
Online store Franny4U is pleased to announce its new spin-off site promoting the first & only 100% water-soluble, organic, whole-spectrum nanoized CBD product.
NIAGARA FALLS, NY, UNITED STATES, December 31, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Franny4u.com, a seller of exclusive limited-edition apparel, decor and other fun items, is pleased to announce the launch of its new health-specific sales channel Franny4U.org, launching out of a partnership with SGT Nutraceuticals, creator of the first & only 100% water-soluble, organic, whole-spectrum nanoized (not "nano-enhanced") CBD product. The partnership came into being from a Franny4U co-founder's constant search for better products in this broad industry.
Franny4U was co-founded by young digital marketer Alexander Velitchko with a mission of continuing his late mother Francine's tradition of sharing creative, memory-making gifts with the world; now, as a lifelong purveyor of healthy living and eating, Velitchko is extending the store's scope to selling health & medicinal products that himself & his family have personally approved.
The first of these products is Life Infused Pain Relief+ Industrial Hemp Extract, the first 100% water-soluble and zero-THC CBD on the market composed of true nanoparticles (10-25nm) for 20X the absorption rate of regular CBD — which enables the highest and best use of medicinal CBD and hemp to date. The nano-size of Life Infused CBD provides calming pain relief within minutes of consumption rather than hours, and without the side effects of psychoactive substances.
Franny4U has chosen to promote Life Infused as part of its founder's partnership with the product's manufacturer & distributor, SGT Nutraceuticals, and offers exclusive discounts for the company's CBD products.
Life Infused Pain Relief+ is a 100% organic nanoized hemp extract containing zero THC, which means it has no psychoactive substances. Because the product is made of nanoparticles and is not simply nano-enhanced, it is twenty times more easily absorbed by the human body as opposed to conventional CBD oil, allowing 95-100% of the particles to be fully absorbed by the body within as fast as only 90 seconds. This CBD is also 100% water-soluble and can be added to beverages of your choice. Life Infused Pain Relief+ is whole spectrum CBD as designated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Alexander's partnership with SGT Nutraceuticals came about as a result of his dad's search for a fast-acting and consistently effective CBD product. In 2015, he was involved in a car accident that seriously affected his health. Pain, anxiety, and severe muscle cramps led him to turn to CBD oil for relief. He tried products from six different CBD providers, but he still was not seeing the results he had hoped for.
After doing some research, Alexander's dad learned that the human body can only absorb a maximum of 5-15% of regular CBD oil. However, he also discovered that nanoized CBD allows for significantly more absorption and typically takes effect in only a few minutes. Then, he came across SGT Nutraceuticals. After using their products, he experienced several nights of good sleep. He also noticed the benefits of the Life Infused CBD almost immediately; the six other brands he tried took at least an hour and a half to give him relief, and would not stop him from waking up well before his alarm.
Franny4U's new project is also in part an extension of Velitchko's new blog vulner-able.com — a website about "New Concepts in Medicinal CBD and Healthy Eating," where he shares tasty recipes from his 15+ years experience on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (more restrictive than just gluten-free), and where his dad examines myths & secrets of the broad CBD industry, dissects health claims of conventional CBD products (in addition to other CBD oils that claim to be "nano"), and discusses the science behind what has made Life Infused nanoized CBD more effective for him than any of the other products he has tried.
To claim the exclusive discounts on Life Infused Pain Relief+, visit the new Franny4U.org site: "Get Life Infused Pain Relief+ Water-Soluble CBD Extract." Shoppers save an additional 5% off on top of other discounts that shoppers are already entitled to as customers of SGT Nutraceuticals.
As of this release, SGT Nutraceuticals is offering a sitewide sale of its 2019 stock at up to 76% off retail price while supplies last. By shopping through Franny4U.org, you will get an additional 5% discount on top of this. Prices will go up when new stock arrives.
Dollar-for-dollar, even at full price, Life Infused beats every other brand on the market for dollars per milligram of pure CBD. For instance, a 5ml bottle containing 1000 mg of nanoized CBD will cost you only $19.99 while on sale, a price unheard of in the industry — and don't forget, it's water-soluble!
ABOUT FRANNY4U
Franny4U is a unique online gift store that sells limited edition apparel, home decor, natural health products, and more. The store connects people with original items so they can find the perfect gift for themselves or their loved ones. Dedicated to the memory of the store founder's late mother, Franny4U offers fun products for passionate people nationwide and internationally.

'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' Awakens to $40 Million at Thursday Box Office
Tom Hooper's "Cats" also opens wide against J.J. Abrams' blockbuster
Brian Welk | December 20, 2019 @ 8:12 AM	Last Updated: December 20, 2019 @ 8:34 AM
"Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker," the final film in the epic Skywalker saga of the "Star Wars" franchise, made $40 million at the box office in Thursday night previews beginning at 6 p.m. It opens on over 4,300 screens this weekend.
Disney is projecting "The Rise of Skywalker" to earn in the $160 million range over the weekend, with independent trackers officially saying it should open between $175-205 million. In its sights are both of the previous "Star Wars" films in this latest trilogy, including 2015's "The Force Awakens" and 2017's "The Last Jedi," both of which are in the Top 5 for all time opening weekends.
"The Force Awakens" made $57 million in its preview showings ahead of a $248 million opening, and "The Last Jedi" started with $45 million and opened to $220 million. $40 million may be below the other two entries in the trilogy, but it's still good enough for the fifth-highest preview opening ever, just ahead of "Avengers: Infinity War," which made $39 million and went on to gross $258 million over its three-day opening. "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," the other December opening for a "Star Wars" film, made $29 million in its Thursday previews and went on to a $155 million opening, which now makes it the 11th highest preview ever.

It's worth noting that "The Rise of Skywalker" also included special fan event preview screenings that began at 5 p.m. from 450 theaters across the country, and 21 theaters ran a marathon of all 9 "Star Wars" films in a marathon building up to "The Rise of Skywalker."
J.J. Abrams returns to direct "The Rise of Skywalker" after Rian Johnson directed "The Last Jedi." Critics were split on the film, saddling it with just a 58% score on Rotten Tomatoes, despite an 85% verified audience score.
"The Rise of Skywalker" follows Rey and the other surviving members of the Resistance as they fight to bring down the imperialistic First Order and bring peace to the galaxy. Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson and Kelly Marie Tran are back for the sequel, as well as fan favorites such as Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian, Carrie Fisher in a posthumous appearance as Princess Leia, and Ian McDiarmid as Emperor Palpatine.

Also opening this weekend in wide release is "Cats," a live-action, computer-generated film based on the long-running Broadway musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It brought in $550,000 in previews at the Thursday box office from 2,500 screens. It opens at 3,380 theaters this weekend. Universal is projecting "Cats" for an opening in the mid-teens as it hopes to provide counter-programming to "Star Wars."
Tom Hooper directs the movie musical that stars Royal Ballet principal dancer Francesca Heyward in her debut film role alongside James Corden, Judi Dench, Jason Derulo, Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson, Ian McKellen, Taylor Swift and Rebel Wilson. It has a 20% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Lionsgate's "Bombshell" also expands today after a limited release run in New York and LA, and the film grossed $335,000 from approximately 1,100 screens ahead of playing on 1,480 North American locations this weekend. The Fox News drama about the downfall of Roger Ailes stars Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie, John Lithgow and is directed by Jay Roach.
10 Top-Grossing Movies of All Time, Adjusted for Inflation (Photos)
"Avengers: Endgame" became the highest-grossing film of all time on July 21, when Disney announced that the movie had pulled in $2.79 billion at the global box office. But the title of the highest-grossing film is a deceptive one -- it doesn't take into account the changing prices of movie theater tickets or the general effect of economic inflation. CNBC enlisted Comscore, a media analytics company, to calculate the top 10 highest-grossing films in the U.S. when ticket price changes and inflation are taken into account.
Because of the wide variations in inflation rates between currencies, Comscore analysts focused only on ticket sales in the United States, where "Endgame" made $854 million according to BoxOfficeMojo. They found the average ticket price for the year a film was released and divided that into the film's domestic gross to find the estimated number of tickets the film sold, then multiplied the estimated number of tickets by the average price of a ticket in 2019 ($9.01, according to CNBC). Comscore also included any times that the film was re-released in the adjusted domestic gross.
At an $854 million domestic gross, "Endgame" did not even crack the top 10 when adjusted for inflation.
Here are the top domestic earners:
10. "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1939)
Estimated admissions: 109,000,000
Non-adjusted domestic gross: $184,925,486
Estimated domestic adjusted gross: $982,090,000
Disney's first animated feature has been rereleased at least three times since its debut in 1937 according to CNBC, selling around 109 million tickets in total. "Snow White" made more in its 1983, 1987 and 1993 releases than it did in its initial run, and when all of those are adjusted for today's ticket price, the movie would have made just under $1 billion in the U.S.
9. "The Exorcist" (1973)
Estimated domestic adjusted gross: $1,049,957,870
Audiences may have fainted, vomited and cried in the theater when "The Exorcist" debuted in 1973, but that didn't stop them from buying tickets. William Friedkin's groundbreaking horror film made the bulk of its money during its initial release, according to CNBC, and was brought to theaters again in 2000 and 2010 with extended scenes. All told, the movie sold an estimated 116.5 million tickets, which equates to around $1.04 billion.
8. "Doctor Zhivago" (1965)
"Doctor Zhivago" earned $112.1 million during its 1965 theatrical run, selling around 124.6 million tickets. The romantic drama, based on a 1957 novel by Boris Pasternak, picked up five Academy Awards, and would have brought in around $1.12 billion at today's ticket prices.
7. "Jaws" (1975)
Often referred to as the first summer blockbuster, Steven Spielberg's "Jaws" debuted in 1975, selling around 128 million tickets and ruining an untold number of beach vacations. That's equivalent to $1.15 billion at today's ticket prices.
6. "The Ten Commandments" (1956)
Non-adjusted domestic gross: $65,500,000
Cecil B. DeMille's biblical epic sold an estimated 131 million tickets during its 1956 run, earning $65.5 million. When adjusted for inflation, the Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner vehicle would have earned $1.18 billion at the box office, even with its 3-hour-and-40-minute runtime.
5. "Titanic" (1997)
Even without adjustments for inflation, James Cameron's high-seas romance sits just below "Avengers: Infinity War" as the sixth highest-grossing film at the domestic box office and just under "Avatar" as the third highest-grossing film globally. The film has been in theaters three times -- an initial run, a 3D rerelease and a 20th anniversary rerelease -- selling about 143.5 million tickets in total. By today's ticket prices, the movie would have earned around $1.29 billion.
4. "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" (1982)
Steven Spielberg's sci-fi adventure has brought in $434.9 million since it was first released in 1982. It sold about 147.9 million tickets over the course of three releases, with two rereleases in 1985 and 2002, which equates to around $1.33 billion using today's average ticket price. The movie's effect on Reese's Pieces sales remains in dispute, though.
3. "The Sound of Music" (1965)
The hiiills are alive...with the sound of 157 million tickets…
This musical was released twice in theaters, first in 1965 and again in 2018, selling the majority of its tickets in the initial run and making $158.8 million in the U.S. Adjusted for today's ticket prices, that's $1.41 billion.
2. "Star Wars" (1977)
The original "Star Wars" ("Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" for the sticklers in the audience) has been rereleased in theaters at least twice since it first wowed audiences in 1977, earning $460.9 million in the United States. It sold an estimated 178.1 million tickets, which comes out around $1.6 billion in modern box office terms.
1. "Gone with the Wind" (1939)
1939's Civil War-era romance has been rereleased at least seven times since its premiere, according to Comscore, selling around 201 million tickets, which equates to about $1.81 billion in modern ticket prices. That leaves Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh's Southern drama a theoretical billion dollars ahead of the latest Marvel flick's domestic gross.
When box office numbers are adjusted for ticket price inflation, "Gone With The Wind" easily tops "Avengers: Endgame"

'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' Arrives With Sky-High Box Office Expectations
By Jeremy Fuster | December 17, 2019 @ 5:55 PM


In a partnership between the science departments at Petroc in Tiverton and Tiverton High School, seventy-five Year 10 High School pupils spent a morning in the Petroc laboratories with some of the college's BTEC Forensic Science and A Level students performing a programme of tests and analysis.
The activities were based around techniques that are used in a wide variety of scientific settings such as blood typing of a suspects' blood samples, and blood found at a crime scene, thin layer chromatography of pink lipstick to identify all the different coloured pigments that are found in this lipstick and Titrations to determine the Vitamin C concentration of a range of Apple juices found in the supermarket.

Storming the Capitol: 'Rejection of the democratic will is very dangerous'
Northwestern experts break down the devastating events we witnessed on Jan. 6
Trump supporters storm the U.S. Capitol Jan. 6. Photo by Samuel Corum/Getty Images
It was a frightening scene of aggression and violence. On January 6, scores of pro-Trump demonstrators forced their way into the U.S. Capitol, overwhelming police and disrupting the joint session of Congress that had been called to ratify presidential election results.
How did this happen? Has it ever happened before? Northwestern experts break down the events of the day from many angles, shedding light on what was a dark day in American history.
Erik Nisbet, School of Communication, is an expert on political misinformation.
"There was a great deal of worry about the possibility of partisan violence immediately around the Nov. 3 election, but when no major violent protests or events occurred, many breathed a sigh of relief.
"Likewise, many feared prior to the election that misinformation about the candidates would influence voters and taint the results. Neither materialized but the danger did not pass.
"What we have seen since Biden was declared winner of the 2020 presidential election is a deluge a misinformation about a supposed stolen election that has increased tolerance for violence among his supporters that has culminated in today's sacking of the capitol building."
Race meets politics
Alvin Tillery, Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, is an expert on social movements and protests.
"It's unbelievable. The double standards that ... the media and many of our citizens have been talking about since this summer.
"Between the ways that the COVID-19 protestors, with their long guns, were treated in places like Wisconsin and Michigan and the ways that Black Lives Matters protestors were treated — 95% of the Black Lives Matter protests had no property damage. They were peaceful, and you had the National Guard there waiting for them. So this is that double standard that people have been talking about all year on display.
"Apparently, the only thing you need to do to breach the U.S. Capitol is be an angry white man with a MAGA hat and a Trump flag, and go right in."
Distance from those with different ideas
David Rapp, Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences and School of Education and Social Policy, is an expert on misinformation and political beliefs.
"In order to change their beliefs, they have to have a skeptical eye towards the ideas that they're considering.
"They have to want to engage and think about evidence that counters what they already believe. They have to want to look at different sources other than the one or two media sources that they might rely upon or the one or two people that they listen to, President Trump being one of them, and they have to go outside of their circle.
"I suspect they distance themselves from people with different ideas. So it is going to be a real challenge to convince these people otherwise."
Lesson to be learned
Olga Kamenchuk, School of Communication and the Institute for Policy Research, is an expert in opinion polling, Russian-American relations and security.
"What we see happening in D.C. and the Capitol reminds us of the coups from the authoritarian and the post-authoritarian world — attempted and successful ones. U.S. democracy, though, is older, its institutions are more stable, and its media is free. It will be much harder to succeed in an attempt of a coups.
"Yet, society should learn the lesson — what happens when democracy is being undermined and its institutions are being attacked, what happens when hate is being seeded, spread and voted for."
America's standing in the world
Ian Kelly is the former U.S. Ambassador to Georgia and currently ambassador (ret.) in residence at Northwestern.
"The violent attempt Jan. 6 to subvert the will of people was an experience that was all too familiar to me from my service as a diplomat overseas.
"Our standing in the global democratic community has been deeply damaged by the events. A hallmark of democracy is the peaceful transfer of power.
"We can restore much of that standing if we allow that to happen Jan. 20 and bring those who tried to thwart that process to justice."
Yes, we've seen this before — in 1860
Michael Allen, Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, is an expert on U.S. political history.
"Clearly, it's a unique event, but there are patterns that are replaying. The most noteworthy is this unwillingness to acknowledge the clear outcome of an election because you don't like the results.
"Many people don't recall that's what most directly lead to the Civil War. Of course, there were deeper causes that were simmering for years or even decades, as there are in this one. But that being said, what tipped the nation over into Civil War was the rejection of a clear electoral victory at the polls by Abraham Lincoln by a number of southern states and southern legislators simply because they didn't like the outcome.
"That sort of rejection of the democratic will is very dangerous in a constitutional democracy."
A way to end this
Monica Prasad, Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences and Institute for Policy Research, is an expert in political, economic and comparative historical sociology.
"It's important to keep pointing out there is a way for Republicans to end this. If Trump is allowed to leave the presidency unimpeached, he will surely attempt to run again in 2024, continuing to kill the Republican party. But if Congress impeaches and convicts him, they also have the right to prevent him from running for office again."

Q: How to pass data between pageFunction executions in Apify web I'm scraping website with Apify. I want to scrape different types of pages and then combine the data into one data set. Now i have different sets of data for each kind of pages (users, shots). How to transfer data between pageFunction executions, ex. to calculate followers number for each shot author.
async function pageFunction(context) {
    const { request, log, jQuery } = context;
    const $ = jQuery;

    if (request.url.indexOf('/shots/') > 0) {
        const title = $('.shot-title').text();
        return {
            url: request.url,
            title
        };
    } else if (request.userData.label === "USER") {
        var followers_count = $('.followers .count').first().text();
        return {
            url: request.url,
            followers_count
        };
    }
}

A: If I understand the question correctly, you can pass the data through crawled pages and save only one item in the end. For this use case, you can work with userData, which you can pass with every request.
For example, if you would like to pass the data from /shots site to the USER, you could do it like this. (but it requires you to enqueue pages manually to control the flow of the data, also this approach except that the /shots type of the page is the first one you visit and then continue)
async function pageFunction(context) {
    const { request, log, jQuery } = context;
    const $ = jQuery;

    if (request.url.indexOf('/shots/') > 0) {
        const title = $('.shot-title').text();

        const userLink = 'some valid url to user page'
        //add to the queue your request with the title in the userData
        await context.enqueueRequest({
            url: userLink,
            userData:{
                label:'USER',
                shotsTitle: title
            }
        })

    } else if (request.userData.label === "USER") {
        var followers_count = $('.followers .count').first().text();
        //here you need to get the shotsTitle and return it
        return {
            url: request.url,
            followers_count,
            shotsTitle: request.userData.shotsTitle
        };
    }
}

Dennis and Tiesha were great to work with. No haggles and very responsive. All around great buying experience.
I was extremely pleased to do business with Quirk Mazda! No pressure and a fair price. I worked with Phil McCabe and Dennis Werkheiser, both quality professionals. It was a very pleasant experience. Phil went out of his way to set up the electronics and explain the details of the automobile. I bought the car on Friday and picked it up the following Monday. Hassle free!
The sales person, Phil McCabe as well as the manager were very fair in negotiations, no high pressure and we got the car that we really wanted and drove home with it hours after we agreed to purchase.
Most efficient sales team you'll ever encounter. They know there stuff and explain everything so you'll know what is being charged. Rachel and Niman were especially helpful. I love my CX-9. Thanks again!!


Robert "Bobby" Salazar, the unofficial mayor of Aptos who served as security guard and maintenance man for Aptos High School for more than four decades, and who was known for his ever-present smile and exhortations for everyone he met to "keep smiling," died March 17 after a battle with cancer. He was 62.
Born on Jan. 22, 1957 in Las Vegas, New Mexico, Salazar was one of seven siblings raised by a single mother and was considered a "rebellious youth," said his daughter Melissa Salazar.
All of this likely led to his passion for helping people, particularly troubled youth and teens, she said.
Salazar's rebellious nature changed when he hitchhiked to California and soon thereafter met Rebecca, the woman who would become his wife.
"It was the day he changed his life," Melissa Salazar said, adding that she liked to tease her father about his lifelong penchant for writing "mushy" love letters for his wife, and for gestures such as bringing her little gifts and coffee in bed.
The couple frequently took walks along Rio Del Mar Beach, she said. They would have celebrated their 43rd wedding anniversary on May 20.
At the same time Salazar met Rebecca, he began working for Aptos High School, where he lived with his wife in a mobile home. There, he was known for his friendly greetings and for being the first smile many people saw during the day, said AHS Principal Peggy Pughe.
Salazar was also known among the staff for participating in the school's dress-up days, and it was not unusual for him to sing to them over the walkie-talkie radios, Pughe said.
A member of California School Employees Local 132, Salazar served as president for several years and became known as a caring and effective leader.
Recently, Salazar said he had gone to the Safeway grocery store in Aptos wearing pajamas and a robe, "just to get a rise out of people," Oropeza said.
"We laughed and laughed at that," she said.
The Aptos Chamber of Commerce named Salazar as a Community Hero in 2015.
He volunteered and helped organizations such as the California Highway Patrol, Aptos/La Selva Fire, Cabrillo College and many athletic groups, including the Aptos Sports Foundation.
A steadfast worker, Salazar stayed on the job until about a month before his death, Oropeza said.
Even confined to bed, he received visitors and dispensed advice, and posted on Facebook about how wonderful life is, she said.
And that, Melissa Salazar said, was the nature of her father, who frequently gave money or food to homeless people, and helped with fundraisers such as Relay For Life.
A rosary for Salazar will be held March 29 at 1 p.m. at Mehl's Colonial Chapel in Watsonville. A celebration of life will be on March 30 at 11 a.m. at Aptos High School.


In our previous blog we discussed how the delay between a user clicking an ad and being taken to the app store might result in lower installs for your app. We also saw how synchronous tracker redirections, one of the major reasons for these post click latencies, may lead to about 20% click loss for your app install campaigns.
But that is only half the story. Another reason for click loss is the time taken for the app store to load after the user has clicked on the ad unit. Before we understand the latencies involved, let's take a look at the ways in which a user might be taken to the app store.
Typically, if a user clicks on the ad, he is taken out of the publisher's app context and into the Play Store/App Store app, where he may choose to download the advertiser's app. This journey generally includes a visit to the redirection page and a certain delay resulting from the time the app store takes to load.This is clearly not a desirable experience for either the publisher or the advertiser.The publisher is essentially sending the user out of his app and risks losing user engagement, while the advertiser may lose a potential user for his app due to click latencies.
On iOS, there exists an alternative. The SK Store (or Inline App Store) function allows the App Store to be invoked from within the publisher's app, and allows the user to download the advertised app. The download runs in the background while the user is taken back to the publisher's app.
Advantages of using SK Store include seamless transition for better user experience and the ability to get information about the user's appstore activity (clicks on the 'close' button denoting the number of users who reached the app store but chose not to download.) Since the idea is to keep the user inside the publisher's app, it becomes necessary to implement asynchronous tracker calls, for any implementation of the SK Store.
But implementing the SK Store does not eliminate the latency associated with loading the App Store.
The transition is seamless but SK Store still takes some time to load, which is dependent on the speed of the user's internet connection. This is beyond an ad network or tracker's control.
The possible solution is pre-caching the SK Store i.e loading the SK store when the ad unit is displayed, so it opens instantaneously when the user clicks on the ad. While drop-offs can be minimized by this, care must be taken as to when the app store can be pre-cached. For banner ads, where the possibility of the user clicking on the ad is very less, pre-caching for every ad unit may be heavy on users' data usage. But for ads with high click probability, like video ads, it might be wise to implement pre-caching.
You spend a lot of money and time trying to get a user to click on your ad, and it takes just a moment for them to leave. Make sure your tracking partner and ad network solve for these post-click latencies, so you can get the most out of your user acquisition campaigns!
