Tigers of the World—Beautiful and Near Extinction
Donna Rayne
Tigers of the World!
Pinterest/Annette Stephenson
The most breathtaking tigers in the wild are near extinction! Did you know that? Well, it is, unfortunately, true. As a child, I always adored tigers, and I still do, and I'm sure most of you do too. Their images are high school mascots, sports teams, and companies. Their beautiful faces are everywhere!
But the question remains, how many tigers are extinct and living? I don't know about you, but this problem concerns me. These are beautiful animals and need saving.
Let's find out what's happening to this beloved big cat!
In This Article I'll Discuss:
Tigers of the World: Scientific Names

Where Do Tigers Live?
Tiger Reproduction
How Long is the Gestation Period?

The Most Beautiful Big Cat in the World
Several species of tigers are struggling to survive in the wild today, and some are now considered extinct.
But how many species and subspecies of tigers are extinct and living? Tigers once roamed across Asia from Turkey to Eastern Siberia and across large parts of South and Southeast Asia.
Sumatran Tiger – Panthera Tigris Sumatra (smallest species) –Critically Endangered
Siberian Tiger (aka Amur Tiger) – Panthera Tigris Altaica (largest species) – Endangered
Bengal Tigers – Panthera Tigris Tigris – Endangered
Indochinese Tiger – Panthera Tigris Corbetti – Endangered
South China Tiger – Panthera Tigris Amoyensis – Critically endangered, extinct in the wild.
Malayan Tiger – Panthera Tigris Jacksoni – Assumed Endangered
Extinct Tiger Species
Bali Tiger – Panthera Tigris Balica – Extinct since 1937
Caspian Tiger – Panthera Tigris Virgata – Extinct since the 1950s
Javan Tiger – Panthera Tigris Sondaica – Extinct since 1970s
Tigers are territorial and solitary animals, except during mating season. They are charismatic megafauna, which means they are large animals with popular mainstream appeal in society.
Megafauna means "large enough to be seen with the naked eye" or "a large mammal of a particular region."

In the 1900s, an estimated 100,000 tigers lived in the wild, and now only 3,200 exist, and most tigers live in captivity! And now tigers are almost non-existent! Why? This is due to poaching their bones, skin, and other body parts for profit and medicinal purposes.
Why are they nearing extinction?
But what is the cause? Fragmentation reduces food supply. And habitat destruction caused by builders and the logging industry. Pushing the tigers closer to humans is dangerous for the tigers and humans.
Men hunt wild tigers for their pleasure and greed!
On top of that, the logging industry has cleared most of the land where tigers hunt—causing starvation, another threat to these beautiful cats!
The World Wildlife Federation (WWF) counts the number of tigers in the wild at 3,890.

Tigers are native to Asia; as of 2016, their population is much smaller than it used to be.
The following countries and regions are where they live.
Western China
Some parts of Russia
Location of Tiger Breeding Populations
Tigers Known Habitats
Tigers live in various environments, including caves, hollow trees, and secluded areas. But they prefer areas with dense coverings, such as forests and vegetation. All sites need access to plenty of water and prey to hunt.
Usually, only one area can support a hungry tiger.
Tigers are solitary animals who live in scent-marked territories depending on the availability of prey in that area. Usually, only one site can support a hungry tiger. And it could be big trouble if another tiger doesn't honor the claimed territory.
As of 2010, officials representing China's Jilin Province and Russia's Primorsky Province, and northern areas of the Korean Peninsula signed an agreement to set up protected regions with shared borders to safeguard the tiger.
Breeding Season
Tiger Reproduction and the Courtship Ritual
The tigress reaches sexual maturity at about three to four years old, while the males mature later at four to five years old. There is no "breeding season" where the female tigers go "into heat" (also known as entering oestrus).
Instead, the tigress is ready to mate any time throughout the year.
The Courtship Ritual
The tigress attracts their potential mates by vocalizing consisting of roars and moans. They also mark their territory with distinctive smelling urine. And when the tigress and male tiger meet, they perform a courtship ritual. They move in circles around each other while vocalizing.
The tigress then begins to lick, groom, and caress the male as she rolls around on the ground.
Then they growl, approach, and separate, and they agree to mate when they reach mutual trust. The tigress then begins to lick, groom, and caress the male as she rolls around on the ground. And she lies face down, indicating that she is "ready."
Then mating begins, and they go through this several times during the "heat" period for about five or six days.
Tiger urine smells like buttered popcorn. Also, tigers can tell other tigers' age, gender, and reproductive condition by smelling urine markings.
The gestation period is approximately sixteen weeks, during which she will give birth to five or six cubs. She seeks tall grass, dense thickets, caves, and rocky crevices to give birth.
The mother lactates for about five to six months, and after the cubs are no longer nursing, she takes them on territorial walks to teach them how to hunt.
(The male tiger doesn't help raise the cubs; the mother takes care of them alone.)
Mother tiger and her cub!
Cubs Hunting Lessons Begin
Tiger mothers teach their cubs hunting lessons when they are five to six months old. By the time the cubs reach 11 to 18 months, they become successful independent hunters.
The cubs remain with their mother for two to three years. And then they leave to find their territory and have their cubs. Sometimes the female cub stays with their mother only if there is enough food to feed the two of them.
The male tigers leave their mother's den to establish their territories. If the young male crosses an alpha male's territory, he may let this junior tiger remain on his territory. But when the junior tiger reaches maturity, he will have to fight the Alpha male over that territory. (Sometimes fighting till death.)
When that junior cub reaches full maturity, they will fight to take over said territory, sometimes fighting to the death.
Alpha Male Tiger

Tigers are powerful alpha/apex predators. A predator resides at the top of a food chain where no other creatures' prey. And they are crepuscular animals as well. Which means they'd rather hunt at night.
"Apex predators are usually defined by trophic dynamics, meaning that apex-predator species occupy the highest trophic levels or levels and play a crucial role in maintaining the health of their ecosystems." (Wikipedia)
Fun Fact: Tigers (alpha predators) kill animals twice their size!
These twilight hunters travel many miles to hunt a variety of animals such as:
Wild Boar (Native ungulates or "hoofed mammals" are their favorite.)
Tigers don't like wasting food, so when they have leftover food from a vast kill, they drag it to a thicket and loosely bury it with leaves. When they are hungry later, they return and finish eating it.

Tigers consume up to forty kilograms (88.2 pounds) of meat in a single meal; however, they often eat smaller amounts.
Tigers are one of nature's most feared predators and the most prominent cat family and are renowned for their power and strength.
They can jump up to thirty-three feet in a single leap!
A tiger's roar can be heard up to 1.8 miles (3 kilometers).
It is the national animal of India, Bangladesh, and Vietnam.
Tigers also appear on many flags and coats of arms and as mascots for sporting teams.
No two tigers have the same stripes; they're each different, thus enabling individual tigers to be identified by their unique markings. Just like human fingerprints are not the same either.
The word "tiger" comes from the Greek word "Tigris," which originated from a Persian word meaning "arrow."

More Tiger Fun Facts
1611 The English word "Tigress" was first documented.
The tiger's scientific name is Panthera Tigris.
Males are more significant than females; for instance, a Siberian male tiger can weigh anywhere from 660 to 700 pounds and be as tall as 10.5 feet (elevated as a one-story building).
The female weighs 200 to 370 pounds and measures 8.5 feet (2.6 m).
In China and other parts of Asia, some people believe that various tiger parts have medicinal properties, including painkillers and aphrodisiacs.
In Ancient Roman times, tigers were kept in menageries and arenas to be exhibited, trained, and provoked to fight against humans and various exotic beasts.
Tigers love water to keep them cool

Tigers love water: they might spend the day relaxing in a pond or a river to cool off during scorching summer days!
Tigers hunt in the water and catch prey.
Tigers are the most prominent canines of all the big cat species.
Their teeth are razor sharp and can grow up to three inches in length!
An adult tiger's tail can grow up to 3.3 feet in length. The tail is used to communicate, just like domestic cats. If relaxed, the tail hangs loosely.
When a tiger is aggressive, he moves his tail quickly from side to side. He also holds it low and twitches it now and then. (Just like the domestic cat does).
When several tigers are present at a kill, the males often wait for females and cubs to eat first. Unlike lions, which do the opposite, tigers rarely argue or fight over a kill and wait for their turns.
The markings on a tiger's forehead closely resemble the Chinese character for "King," giving tigers a cultural status as regal animals.
Tigers are the most beautiful cats and have had some rough times. These Alpha Kings of the Big Cat world are even more significant than your average Lion.
If only there were more Tigers in the wild instead of in captivity, they would thrive and multiply, and only if humans give them their space and quit taking their land and food resources, then these awesome cats will have a chance to grow in numbers.
These big cats are smart and extremely intelligent, and we can learn so much about our felines by watching their big brothers and sisters in the wild! I love watching tigers move because they are so beautiful, and I hope to see them one day at a sanctuary!

Chitrangada Sharan from New Delhi, India on June 11, 2020:
A very well written and well researched article about the Tigers of the World.
I find these wild animals, most fascinating. And, I have been fortunate to see them, in the National parks of India.
Thank You for sharing this wonderful and informative article.
Donna Rayne (author) from Sparks, NV on April 03, 2020:
Thank you, Devika, I noticed that when I first got here and I removed it. But, I thank you for telling me. I'm glad you liked my article.
Devika Primić from Dubrovnik, Croatia on April 03, 2020:
Hi Donna Rayne firstly I would like to let you know that the video is not available maybe the link is broken. I like tigers you have a well-researched hub on these species.
Big cats such as tigers are beautiful and shouldn't be destroyed by humans intentionally or at all. Rough times can ruin the life of a tiger.
Donna Rayne (author) from Sparks, NV on March 10, 2020:
Haha, thank you so much, Peggy :) I'm glad you like it!
Peggy Woods from Houston, Texas on March 10, 2020:
It is a shame that the population of tigers in the wild is so decimated. They are magnificent animals. I learned so much by reading your article about them. The one thing that is likely to stick in my mind is the odor of their urine the next time I eat popcorn. Haha!
Yes, they are beautiful and mysterious! I love these big cats. Have a great day and I would love to see some of your drawings of them.
Denise McGill from Fresno CA on March 08, 2020:
I've always loved drawing and painting these big cats. There is something really intriguing about the facial structure and the stripes.
Thank you very much, Eiddwen, I look forward to following you too and there is more to come in my Big Cat Series. I'm working on the Bengal Tiger right now :) But, that's our secret shhh...
Eiddwen from Wales on March 07, 2020:
Being a cat lover this very interesting hub on these beautiful big cats was indeed a treat for me. Thank you for sharing Donna and I now look forward to following you on here.
Thank you so much, Manatita, they are very beautiful but deadly!
Thank you so much, JC. Have a super great day!
You're welcome Bill and thank you!
Thank you, Pamela. I know it happens to a lot of wildlife because man wants their skins, bones, and more to sell and they're worth a lot more dead than alive according to the poachers.
Have a happy day,
Hahaha sorry about that Flourish! That cracked me up! Have a great day!
Yes, it is Lorna and I pray the laws in place to protect all wildlife make a difference and tigers won't be a thing of the past.
Thank you Umesh, I appreciate that!
Oh, that is wonderful news, Rosina! I'm happy to know my articles are helping you and showing you their true beauty!
manatita44 from london on March 04, 2020:
The swim is impressive! Great to know info. You describe them as charismatic! I dare say you're right but scary too and ferocious by some accounts.
I was looking at the different nations. Yes, they do look different. Beautiful animals but what a great reduction.
JC Scull on March 04, 2020:
Donna...excellent article.
Bill Holland from Olympia, WA on March 04, 2020:
I always love to learn about stuff like this, so thanks for the informative and interesting article.
Pamela Oglesby from Sunny Florida on March 04, 2020:
The tiger are gorgeous and I really enjoyed your article. Poaching also makes me angry as it happens to elephants and so many other anitmals. It is funny that their urine smell like buttered popcorn and that they can tell so much by smelling the urine.
Very good article, Donna!
FlourishAnyway from USA on March 04, 2020:
They are simply stunning animals and I cannot fathom people hurting them. So majestic. Thanks to you I will never think of the smell of buttered popcorn quite the same! Oh my!
Lorna Lamon on March 04, 2020:
An excellent and informative article Donna with beautiful photos. It's sad that like many other wonderful animals they are under threat for the reasons you mention. Seeing these incredible animals in the wild may soon be a thing of the past. A really enjoyable read - loved it.
Umesh Chandra Bhatt from Kharghar, Navi Mumbai, India on March 03, 2020:
Well researched and well compiled article. Good work. Nice reading. Thanks.
Rosina S Khan on March 03, 2020:
A beautiful, informative piece about Tigers of the world. Watching your enthusiasm for these wild creatures, I am also beginning to appreciate them and become a fan of them. I found Tigers scary before but now reading your wonderful hub, my feelings about them are taking a shift. Thank you, Donna, for such a wonderful contribution.
Thank you all so much, Eric, Ivana and BushraI appreciate all your comments and that you liked my article!
Eric Dierker from Spring Valley, CA. U.S.A. on March 03, 2020:
We are blessed by you nicely written work here. My son votes for Siberian. I go Indochina. We must love our creatures.
Ivana Divac from Serbia on March 03, 2020:
Thank you for this beautiful article. So informative!
Anya Ali from Rabwah, Pakistan on March 03, 2020:
Sometimes Indian tigers cheerfully stroll into Pakistan without so much as a by your leave. Marvelous how animals, birds, and plants couldn't care less for passports and visas!

Have you any ever been anywhere you realized that you might not be welcomed? Probably so. Take a moment and reflect. You likely recall those feelings of doubt, uncertainty, and rejection… Not a very pleasant experience! I remember walking unexpectedly into a meeting of some folks plotting against me… It was eerie and very uncomfortable – for everyone.
On the other hand, have you ever felt really welcomed? Immediately, you feel relaxed, comfortable, secure. You know you "belong" there. It's like coming home. You feel welcomed.
Psalm 23 is comprised of 2 vivid word pictures describing the LORD's grace. The first image is that of a shepherd, who protects, guides and cares for his sheep (V.1 – 4). The second is that of a gracious host, attending to the needs of his guests (V.5, 6). Verse 5 began with the declaration of a feast or meal. The thought is continued: you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Anointing in the OT was commonly understood to be the official action of God, through his priest or prophet, which signaled the particular call of God for a specific purpose in service to God. So, Kings, Prophets and Priests were anointed by pouring a sacred oil on the head.
This, however, is not what Psalm 23 has in view. Anointing was an ancient custom performed by Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and other nations. Olive oil, either in its purest form or mixed with fragrant and expensive and exotic spices was used. Although often a part of a coronation celebration, anointing was also practiced as an active courtesy and hospitality extended to a special guest.
In our verse (Psalm 23. 5), David portrays himself as an honored guest of the LORD, who not only prepares a table for him but also hospitably honors him by pouring fragrant oil on his head. He pours it with such abundance that it fills and then overflows his cup.
Obviously, the extravagance of anointing demonstrates not only the generosity of the Lord but also the delight of God in providing such exuberant blessing to his guest. Thus, we are to be assured of God's extended kindness and compassion.
Between my junior and senior years of college (seems like yesterday to me, but to others, like the middle ages). One of my friends had applied for a teaching position at the local high school. Before the interview, he came to my home with all sorts of questions about the community and school. He was apprehensive as he went but promised to report what happened. After about three hours, my friend returned. The car door flung open and out he jumped crying, "They want me! They want me!" It's great to be wanted.
This would be a good time to remember the words of Jesus to his disciples. In John 14.1 – 3 Jesus said: "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
Please notice that the disciples had it wrong. Jesus was not about to desert them; he was in the process of providing them with the greatest blessing imaginable. So, when we feel, abandoned and alone, it is good to remember that we have it wrong. It only seems like things are out of control. We are not alone and we are not forgotten. Jesus promised to be with us always. And better yet, he really wants us to be with him.
Amen. God surely has done a mighty work in your life. Praise him for it.


I created a DVD using Sizzle and myDVDEdit and it works fine in DVD Player on OS X but not on my real player. I get a disc error there.
Can anyone tell me, which information (if any) I need to supply so that you might be able to give me hints for a reason of this error?
I have the slight feeling that my errors result from deleting menus and PGCs.
Are there any known issues with this?
DVD-Video format must be UDF. How did you burn your DVD (with what tool)?.
DVD Imager + Disk Utility. Format is UDF. The player shows the menu, but doesn't highlight any button and when I press  I get the disc error.
I HOPE it's just the bug with the button I mentioned in the other thread. I will test that later and report.
What's worse: It seems to have (partly?) to do with Sizzle/dvdauthor. When I create a DVD with Sizzle, my player does display the menu for a really short period of time and then starts playing the first title.
If I press the Menu key, I'm returned to the title's menu (with just one button as I created it in that way) and after a short time, the film is resumed.


So grumbled then Labour MP, Tom Harris, in what many hoped would be his last "political" contribution. Despite dragging his dug around, he unsurprisingly failed to win re-election to Westminster, losing his seat to the SNP's Stewart McDonald. With Harris declaring himself delighted, "that I no longer have to listen to the complaints of constituents and local party members, and that I don't have to read tortuous, sanctimonious emails from 38 Bloody Degrees" we had thought that would be the end of the wee man. How wrong we were.
This weekend, it was announced that the permanently disgraced/disgruntled Harris is to lead the Scottish branch of "Vote Leave" campaign, which aims to get Britain out of the EU, so we can turn the clock back on human rights and create a racist hellhole – issues Tom has been an avid campaigner for in the past.
Elected to Westminster in 2001, Harris described himself as a passionate Blairite: supporting the invasion of Iraq, 42 day detention without charge, ID cards and Trident. Harris was also a frequent pain in the arse for the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA), who review MPs expenses. Despite receiving £166,991 in expenses in 2007/8, he famously spat the dummy when his claims for steriliser and a cot for his second home were rejected. He even took to the Telegraph to moan about how MPs were definitely NOT corrupt, so we should all stop being nasty to them.
His clashes with the expenses watchdog left the MP rattled.
Despite pressure from the Commissioner for Standards in Public Life, IPSA still allows MPs to employ family members, a practice not allowed in Holyrood. In 2011, it was revealed that Harris employed his wife as an office manager, at a cost to the taxpayer of over £40,000.
No-one had their finger on the pulse quite like our Tom, at the onset of the credit crunch he asked, "our citizens have never been so wealthy….so why is everyone so bloody miserable?" The MP lamented our extravagant lifestyles and multiple cars, despite representing a constituency in Glasgow, where less than half of the population are car owners. He later apologised, as usual.
Following the attacks in Oslo & Utøya in 2011, Harris took to Twitter to condemn the definitely Muslims who carried out the attack – before realising it was a right wing Christian and deleting his Tweet/apologising.
But saying sorry wasn't enough to save Harris in 2012, when he made a Downfall parody video, casting Alex Salmond as Hitler. Following the backlash, he was forced to quit his position as Labour's social media adviser. And to think, he could have been delighting us with dog dragging videos….
So anyway, after 60 per cent votes for sure fire election losers, IRA-supporting Shadow Chancellors and Scottish Labour unnecessarily splitting the party on issues over which it has no responsibility, we have a Shadow Minister telling "Stop the War" – a madcap coalition of trots, Islamists and anti-west fury chimps – that Labour will consult them on how it will vote on Syria.
So that's it. Labour has jumped the shark. It has gone from "a bit bonkers" to "irredeemable" in the space of a single day.
And I give up. That's it for me. Giving. Up.
Now that Labour has ruled itself out of governing at any time in the near (or indeed distant) future, the task of trying to hold together the United Kingdom falls exclusively to the Conservative Party.
Harris jumped the Labour shark before unjumping it.
a consistent pattern of complaints took shape quite early on: filthy and vastly overcrowded living arrangements, organised aggressive begging, the ghetto-isation of local streets where women no longer feel safe to walk due to the presence of large groups of (workless) men, the rifling through domestic wheelie bins by groups of women pushing oddly child-free prams, and a worrying increase in the reporting of aggressive and violent behavior in local schools.
As the rival Leave campaigns battle to be the most racist, the Remain campaign can only terrify us with tired re-runs of indyref scare stories.
With another ex-Labour MP/Weekly Wanker Frank Roy in charge of the Remain campaign, we're in a bizarre situation where both UK wide groups have appointed former Labour patriarchs to head their Scottish sections – despite both Roy & Harris failing spectacularly at the polls only last year.
As the 2 (purple) headed monster rolls on, I don't know about you, but I'm really bored with politics now, so here is a video of Tom Harris after being dragged around the carpet on election night.

AN INTERVIEW WITH Casey dillard
Screenwriter and Actress for Driven
Fanworld: Tell us a little about how you and Glenn started to work together.
Casey: We met when our city's first improv team (West of Shake Rag) was starting up. He thought I was a good actor and asked me to be in a movie that he was working on and as the years went by we became more and more collaborative. I have hundreds of stories about the path to this team-up as it exists today, but I don't think you want a five page answer.
Fanworld: Driven came out of Glenn being intrigued by the idea of a feature set in one car. As a writer, was that a gift? It seems like so much focus is on characterisation and interaction. Were there any particular challenges arising from that at the writing stage?
Casey: Is it weird to say that the idea actually meshed really well with my shortcomings as a writer? My original acting roots are in theatre, where a lot of single-location stories are told with a focus on relationships and dialog, so that's where my mind goes naturally. I guess another way to put it is that it meshed well with my writing strengths, but I've never been one for positivity. I definitely ran into issues where I was trying to write scenes with scares or action, but it was an interesting challenge.
Fanworld: What's your writing process? Are you team 'maintain a firm schedule while swearing at the blinking cursor as it mocks your lack of progress', or team 'jump to action whenever inspiration strikes'?
Casey: It depends on the day. I've definitely found that I'm more productive at night, try as I might to be on a working person schedule. I need background noise, but not something I'll engage with like music or TV that I have to concentrate on (trash TV and ASMR videos are very helpful). At the time I had my cat Trippy who would helpfully take up residence in my lap so that I couldn't get up and procrastinate as much. I need another lap cat. My productivity has taken a hit.
Fanworld: It was revealed recently that Roger's last name is Ostrand. How much backstory did you give him and Emerson? Are there any other little tidbits you can reveal?
Casey: A lot of backstory. Roger's great great grandfather was a real evil bastard and Roger has been through some stuff getting to the point that he is when we first meet him. His family has actually done a some good with their money, but at the end of the day they were OK with knowing people were being possessed in exchange so even if they weren't all as bad as great-great, I wouldn't describe them as good people. Emerson has a lot of jobs aside from the one with Ferry and has a very strained relationship with her father. That being said, I know some writers out there have their own ideas about them, so any of mine that don't appear onscreen don't have to inform your creative decisions.
Fanworld: You've said that Roger is your favourite of your characters. What is it you particularly like about him?
Casey: For one thing, he was just a lot of fun to write. A lot of people have described him as the "straight man" in the movie because Emerson is the comedian, but I think she's more of a straight man reacting to the bizarre circumstances. He's so socially clumsy that even when he's well-intentioned he struggles with it. I also just appreciate that he's a very good person. Breaking the curse may be the thing that brings ruination down on him, he isn't endowed with super strength or powers to help him along the way, he's just doing it because it's right. The world would be better with more Rogers in it, cloddish though he may be.
Fanworld: You told me once that there was a line you heard in Rich's before he was even cast, and in some ways, Roger is the character in which I see the most of the Rich that I know. Did the writing for him change at all once Rich accepted the role?
Casey: Not very much. For one thing, I'm very egotistical and I liked the script as is. For another, I assumed he was highly competent and could mold himself to the character rather than the other way around. Glad I was right about that, in hindsight.
Fanworld: You and Glenn met Rich at the Oxford film festival a couple of times before you approached him for Driven. When you're considering an actor outside of your usual circle for a role, how much weight do you put on what they'll actually be like to be around for 2 weeks?
Casey: A lot. I was very nervous about bringing him on. Not because he was anything less than very pleasant when we've met him, but because it's easy to be pleasant for a couple of hours out of your life. Speaking from experience, if someone isn't a team player or isn't kind then film shoots are very rough. I think my nightly prayers included some variation of "please don't let Richard turn out to be a jerk" in the weeks leading up to it. Fortunately, I think I was more of a problem child than he was.
Fanworld: Your leading man came to the project with a huge fanbase. We've talked about fandom a lot over the past couple of years and how this was your first time being so entrenched in that world. What's surprised you the most about that community?
Casey: That there are so many subsets within it. If I had the time, patience, and resources to do a documentary about fandoms I think that would be a fascinating deep-dive. I may yet try to explore it in fiction.
Fanworld: I want to talk about Emerson for a bit. Was the intention always that you would play her or was there someone else you had in mind when you were writing her?
Casey: The hope was always that it would be me, but I was down to try to get another name if possible or find someone who was a good fit in our regional talent pool (note to directors: hire southeastern actors for your southern projects. Your actors don't have as good of accents as you think and a lot of people around here are very beautiful and talented. I will make you a list.). I figured that got pushed aside when we had to move our shoot date up by a few months, but Glenn recently said that it was never his intention to have someone else play the role, which meant a lot. When you have a hard time believing in yourself, it's really reassuring to have someone whose opinion you value so much in your corner.
That being said, in a perfect world with limitless budget there are probably lots of people who could have done well with it. I would love to see a Michaela Coel, Lizzy Caplan, or Issa Rae take on Emerson.
Fanworld: Emerson's comedy is such an important part of the movie and a key way we connect with her character from the get-go. If Driven were to get a sequel, would we get to see more of that side of Em? And yes this is just me asking you to please give me an outtake which is just her stand-up set.
Casey: If there were a sequel I think we'd find her putting in a lot of time going to open mics, and interacting with other comics (and probably having a few sets go really badly, tbh). I think she'd learn to get more introspective than observational of the outside world with her comedy. Tell you what, if we get to #1 on Amazon I will try to write a 5-7 minute Emerson set and perform it as her.
Fanworld: The now famous running gag through Driven really emphasises the disparate backgrounds that Em and Roger come from. I feel like a lot of people who've had a shared living situation will be nodding along. Did you feel from the moment you wrote it that it would be the takeaway comedy moment?
Casey: It became pretty clear when it was an odd-couple pairing that a fun thing to play with is Roger's inability to relate to needing money and what weird or gross realities you face when you don't have it. Wealth is a much bigger barrier between people than people with money realize most of the time.
Fanworld: What scene are you the proudest of?
Casey: For comedy: the scene with Em, Roger, and Grace
For performance: Roger and Emerson's blow up
For technical achievements: The gas station scene. The whole thing.
Fanworld: Driven had some success on the festival circuit. What's the experience of taking your movie to a festival really like? How terrifying is it to watch your creation with an audience?
Casey: I wanted to bail on the first screening so badly. If I'd had an aisle seat I probably would have and in truth, I ducked out on a lot of later screenings because I don't like watching myself very much, but I try to hang close to the door so that I can hear audience reactions a bit. Hearing people laugh at something that I was part of (that was intended to be funny) is very gratifying. But even when people don't like it, there's usually something to be learned from why. I highly recommend the festival circuit to aspiring filmmakers, but it is nerve-wracking.

General election: parties vie for veterans' votes as Keith Vaz quits – live news – The Guardian, Theguardian.com
******** 3. 28 AMEST : 28
The shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry has been questioned over what would be on the ballot paper under Labor's plans to offer a second referendum.
We want to be able to negotiate the sort of deal that we have been talking to the Europeans about for more than three years. It is being in a customs union, in a single market, in a close alignment of rules and regulations. We have talked to them uphill and downdale about what it is we would do and what our deal is. And we think that's the best way of looking after jobs in the economy.
She was also asked whether she would use a nuclear weapon to defend the UK.

Moving on to another election pledge, Wallace said serving personnel would be provided with free wraparound care for their four- to 11 – year-old children.
The £ 165 m scheme to help service people "With their pressures" would be introduced alongside a veterans' railcard and a new help-to-buy scheme under a future Tory government.
"We're going to invest in the most important equipment of our armed forces if we win this election and that is our servicemen and women," he said.
Updated at 3. 21 am EST
There should be a 10 – year limit on the prosecution of soldiers unless "compelling new evidence" emerges, Wallace said. But he stressed the UK would not be leaving the European court of human rights.
Asked what exactly would change, Wallace said:
Firstly in events that have happened outside the jurisdiction of the [European court of human rights], such as Afghanistan and Iraq, the government believes there should be a statute of limitations of at least 10 years unless compelling new evidence comes forward to make sure that we can't have lawyers… going out shopping round Iraq and Afghanistan looking for victims.
Asked whether it would apply to everyone who might be involved in these inquests, including paramilitaries, terrorists and soldiers, Wallace said it would apply for all.
If you want to make a claim that an already investigated crime or already inquest event has taken place, and in some of these inquests we're into the third or fourth inquest of the same event, if one of these has already taken place and you want to go back and effectively in some areas abuse our legal system with new evidence without much specifics, then actually you need to go direct to the European court in the Hague.
Asked how this is not an "amnesty for terrorists", he said: "It's not an amnesty. Everyone will still be able to avail themselves of the European court of human rights in the Hague. But what they won't be able to avail themselves of the right, is continually going back to our courts in the UK. "
Questioned over his previous remarks in the House of Commons, when he said "I don't support amnesty for people who went out and killed many of these young men and women who went out to defend us . I don't think that's a solution ", he replied:
I don't. This is about people who have already had trials, already been prosecuted, already had inquests… People have been tried, under inquest found not to have been at fault, then suddenly along comes a claim of new evidence. Very rarely does it see much test before it falls over and time and time again our service personnel are reinvestigated.
We're not leaving the European convention on human rights, what we're doing is changing the route to that and we're saying that our courts are not there to be abused. There are inquests going on at the moment to things that have gone on in the 1970 s that have already been two or three inquests.
Questioned over the failure of previous defense secretary's to promise to deliver the proposal, he said: "It's time to finish this."
Ben Wallace, the defense secretary, has said the Conservatives' election pledge to protect veterans from prosecution is not an "amnesty".
He said the Tories' pledge to change the law would protect veterans from "vexatious" legal action and would take up the defense select committee's recent recommendations on limiting prosecutions of soldiers.
Wallace told BBC Radio 4's Today program that conflicts between different pieces of international law have meant that lawyers defending people representing "terrorists killed in the act of terror" have led to "continued, repeated" inquests.
How do we make sure that soldiers are not above the law but that vexatious claims don ' t trigger continued investigations time and time again into the same people? That is unfair to our soldiers and people who've gone out to defend us, whether that's in Iraq, Afghanistan or Northern Ireland.
Asked on whether the law would apply retroactively, Wallace noted the independence of the judiciary and said that the changes would apply only to future prosecutions.
This isn't an amnesty, because if people haven't been investigated and they haven 't had an inquest, then of course they won't be able to avail themselves of that. This is about repeated and vexatious claims. This is about people who have already had trials, have already been prosecuted, already had inquests.
TheConservativeswant to end unfair trials of veterans where no new evidence has been produced and the accusations have been questioned exhaustively in court by amending the Human Rights Act so it does not apply to incidents – including deaths during the Troubles – which took place before the law came into force in 2000.
In July, the House of Commons defense select committee said a 10 – year "qualified statute of limitations" should be introduced to protect veterans and serving armed forces personnel from reinvestigation for alleged crimes.
It also called on the government to consider amending the Human Rights Act to provide a presumption against prosecution for historical offences.
The report, Drawing a Line: Protecting Veterans By a Statute of Limitations, criticized the government for breaking a promise to safeguard veterans of Northern Ireland's Troubles from the "specter" of repeated investigations of events that occurred decades ago.
And it welcomed previous Ministry of Defense (MoD) proposalsto opt outfrom the European convention on human rights during future conflicts. However, it points out that under MoD plans those who served in Northern Ireland and those who served abroad would be subject to different legislative regimes. The MoD and Northern Ireland Officehave been in disputeover such reforms.
However, Sinn Féin has previously raised fears over the amnesty proposal. One of the party's MPs, Francie Molloy, said that any attempt to create a hierarchy "by protecting perpetrators of murders and other serious crime committed by British state forces are totally unacceptable".

A deal with Jingye Group could go through in the next couple of days according to our reporter Rob Davies, who has seen an email sent to employees about the sale.
That is good news for the company's 4, 000 employees, most of whom work in the marginal constituency of Scunthorpe. The seat is held by Labor's Nic Dakin with a majority of just over 3, 000. The North Lincolnshire town is traditional (Labor) territory but it also voted heavily for Brexit – 68. 68% in favor of leaving compared with 31. 32% for remain.
Here's Rob's full story:

On the Ulster campaign trail, the SDLP leader, Colum Eastwood, says Northern Ireland should become a leader in renewable energy technology. Eastwood, who is standing for the constituency of Foyle, says better education of children to raise awareness of global warming is a moral imperative.
We cannot force our children and their children to pay the price for our casual disregard for the body of science which says we are destroying our climate. We should also take the opportunity to become a world leader in renewable technology and climate rehabilitation.

Keith Vaz announced last night he was standing down, a move that spares Jeremy Corbyn a tricky issue because the longstanding MP for Leicester East was facing suspension from the Commons for "expressing interest" in buying cocaine for Prostitutes.
Vaz, who won the seat from the Tories in 1987, said in a statement that the people of Leicester "will always be in my heart".
I have decided to retire after completing 32 years as the Member of Parliament for Leicester East. In that time I have won eight general elections. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve my constituency since I came to the city in 1985. I want to thank the people of Leicester East for their absolute loyalty and support.
Corbyn paid generous tribute to his now ex-parliamentary colleague, saying:
Keith Vaz was among the pioneering group of black and AsianLaborMPs elected in 1987. I was proud to support his selection and incredibly proud when he won, taking the seat from the Tories. Keith has made a substantial and significant contribution to public life, both as a constituency MP for the people of Leicester and for the Asian community across the country. He has helped to pave the way for more BAME people to become involved in politics.
His work in parliament has been exemplary as Britain's first Asian-origin minister, chair of the home affairs select committee, a campaigner on diabetes issues and most recently trying to help the peace process in Yemen.

SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon will be on the stump in Aberdeen.
Updated At 1. (am EST)
Martin Farrer
Good morning. I'm Martin Farrer and welcome to the election live blog.
The fifth day of the campaign might be Armistice Day but there is no prospect of a ceasefire between the parties. The unusual instance of Remembrance Day falling in an election campaign has left the big playersunable to resist promoting policies for veterans. The Tories are planning to offer more childcare help for families in the military, a railcard for veterans and will also repeat previous pledges to prevent "vexatious" legal claims such as those faced by ex-soldiers who served in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. Labor has said it will improve pay and conditions for service personnel by scrapping the public sector pay cap, better housing and improved access to schools for children of force members.
Another major focus will be immigration. Our political editor, Heather Stewart, reports that Labor activists are pushing Jeremy Corbyn to incorporate radical changes to migration policy in the party's manifesto.Senior leaders are meeting today to thrash out the party's definitive stancewith many calling for them to adopt the more open border policy backed by members at party conference in September. The Tories are hoping to portray Labor as soft on immigration and believe that a more liberal policy could cost Corbyn votes in northern and Midlands heartland seats.
One Midlands seat that will be a bit different this time is Leicester East, where Keith Vaz's name will not be on the ballot paper for the first time in 32 years. The former minister, who wasfacing suspension from the Commons for"expressing willingness" to purchase cocaine for sex workers, announced last night that he is standing down. Vaz, who is 62, said it had been "an honor and a privilege to serve my constituency", while Corbyn said Vaz had led the way for black and Asian Labor MPs.
No campaign day would be complete without a spending row and this one will be no exception withLabor hitting back at Tory claims that its policies would cost £ 1.2tn. Andrew Gwynne, Labour's election coordinator, described the claims as "absolute work of fiction by the Conservatives". Oureconomic correspodent, Richard Partington, has interrogated the Tory claimsand concludes that they have added in the cost of Labor policies over a five-year period to inflate the headline number.
Thanks for joining us and enjoy day five.

Playing online blackjack has become a very popular past time, but with it have come some angst, with many governments around the globe cracking down on offshore casinos offering their citizens services. While Australia has strict laws canvassing online gambling many of the surrounding countries like New Zealand, Fiji and Papua New Guinea still allow their residents to gamble legally online.
If you are legally able to play online blackjack there will be a table at the top of this page, which is geo-targeted for you convenience. You can also access reviews of each casino and other information in the table.
Online versus land-based blackjack
The online blackjack arena is more than just a virtual substitute: it's a growing, viable platform and has a significant amount of advantages over its land-based counterparts. The technology behind such software is constantly evolving and becoming more sophisticated; there is increased accessibility and convenience of play in the form of mobile and tablet gaming, more variety in game types and rules and you can play live dealer, which is a crystal clear stream of someone dealing your cards.
Web-based casinos have lower house edges due to the lack of overheads, and because of the many diverse variations they offer — games you would not find at land-based casinos. Ample low-stake and high-stake games are available to suit every type of gamer. Which cannot often be said about land-based casinos, with $25 the minimum per hand if you want to play standard rules at Melbourne's Crown Casino. Online you can play for as little as 50 cents per hand.
All of these advantages have closed the gap between Internet-based and land-based casinos.
There's no doubting the great energetic atmosphere, ambient music and presence of lively companions at a brick and mortar casino while playing a game of blackjack. For many people, the concept of playing the world's most popular card game anywhere but in a grand casino is an alien one, and replacing the table, dealer and other players with a computer screen and a mouse is still something many gamblers cannot fathom.
But the nature of gambling is forever changing – and fast, too. We see this with sports betting, and are seeing it more and more with the hundreds of available and secure Internet casinos. If you're keen to get started at one, you'll want to open an account with the best and safest gambling sites, and we are here to assist you in finding the ones which suits your personal preferences.

Mobile blackjack on smartphones & tablets
Playing games on your mobile device is a popular way for people to gamble on the go. Software companies have seized the moment and have pumped millions of dollars into the development of real money blackjack games for mobile iGaming.
It is amazing how quickly the mobile platform has developed, from its humble origins when a few real money slots were rolled out by Microgaming less than 10 years ago, to the industry it has become. Most of the world boast regulated markets and license casinos in their own jurisdictions, meaning businesses are pumping legitimate money into developing really cool features for online casinos, including mobile.
The latest in mobile blackjack play has been the emergence of live dealer with various software companies seeing the growing opportunities on offer in this space. While the streaming can lag on a 4G connection, the newer Android and iOS devices (that we use) 4G connections are sufficient to enjoy live dealer blackjack (roulette and baccarat) from your smartphone or tablet.
Live Dealer blackjack games
Many of us still like the authenticity of being dealt cards by live croupiers, which is why we will take the time to journey to a land-baed casino. It's one of the pitfalls of gambling on the Internet that it lacks a social element, but this facet is constantly improving.
Game developers are constantly developing new ways to make it more interactive; it started with a basic live video feed of your blackjack dealer throwing the cards down on a table. Now you can interact with the dealer and other players, you can play side games in between hands and most importantly you can feel wanted.
This is not to say every live dealer provider is worth playing; like all things, there are good and bad eggs in the basket. Blackjack.com.au recommends these software companies' live dealer platforms:
Just like at a land-based casino there are high standard associated with these 'live dealer hubs' which are enforced by independent auditors and implemented by pit bosses.
Online blackjack tournaments
Are you looking to hone your skills in competitions to show dealers and other players how playing blackjack is really done? Keen to win even more money? All Slots and Royal Vegas provide regular BJ tournaments where we can play against other players and dealers with huge cash prizes to be won. These daily and weekly tournaments are offered in the following formats:
Free roll tourneys: No cost to enter, simply join in and have fun.
Buy-in tourneys: Buy a virtual seat (usually higher in stakes) and compete until one player remains.
Sit & Go tourneys: You start when enough players join the table and can hop up and leave at any time.
Pre-set tourneys: Scheduled tournaments starting at specific times.
These tournaments having varying buy-ins and sociable games available from our computer or mobile device. With huge central cash pools, plenty of awesome bonus prizes, and backed by the International Blackjack League, such tournaments have all of the variety and excitement of land-based blackjack tournaments.
Online blackjack deposit options
Playing online one of the most important things is the ability to fund your account. How you go aboutdepositing at online casinos will largely come down to where you are based in the world. For instance in regulated markets like the United Kingdom credit cards are the most common method, but in places like the USA you might have to try a little harder to deposit.
Some popular payment methods are:
MasterCards
Web Wallets
EcoCard
Blackjack.com.au: Why we love 21
Blackjack has the distinction of being a part of several unique historic moments, such as being the first major card game, brought along with French colonists to North America in the 17th century, to explode in popularity; igniting the staying power of the first taboo Nevada casinos in the 1930s, and driving the advancement of basic strategy, mathematical probability for card games in the early 1950s and subsequent computer software that spawned from the research – all from a game with a goal of 21.
Blackjack is our favourite casino card game for a number of reasons. Other than its rich history, it's a game that is easy to play and always engaging to learn more of. Strategies and tactics are key to success – not just pure luck – and it's always more exciting to win when your own skill is put to the test.
We're passionate about the game of 21 and that's why we're the one-stop authority and information nexus on all of your blackjack inquiries – we know what we're talking about and we love talking about it.

There is no magic, all in one skin perfecting tablet, but there are handful of supplements we can take that will benefit our skin's health and, in turn, our complexion.
Nowadays, we all are overwhelmed with skin care news, beauty tips from multi media channels and are often confused by those claims, not sure which ones are facts, which ones are just myths. Here are four of the most common misconceptions about natural ingredients that many of us believe otherwise.

If salicylic acid is like gentle sandpaper for your skin, isotretinoin (commonly referred to by the now-defunct brand name Accutane) is paint stripper. It gets the job done when nothing else will, and it comes with plenty of safety warnings.
Over the last three decades, stricter regulatory policies have been put in place, and while isotretinoin is a serious drug that requires close monitoring, it's an effective medication for severe acne. If you're confused, you're not alone. Here's how it breaks down.
How can Sulfur Skin Care Products Help to Fight Acne?
Sulfur is usually not the first thing that comes to mind when people think of effective acne treatments, but this odorous mineral is actually one of the oldest acne treatments known to man. In ancient times, sulfur was applied directly to the skin to treat skin and scalp problems like dandruff, dermatitis, warts and rosacea.
A chemical peel uses a chemical solution to smooth the texture of your skin by removing the damaged outer layers. Using chemical peel is one of the least invasive ways to improve the appearance of your skin. Sun exposure, acne, or just getting older can leave your skin tone uneven, wrinkled, spotted or scarred. Chemical peels can help improve acne or acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, rough skin and scaly patches and irregular skin pigmentation.
1/Protect and prevent: First and foremost, your best line of defense is to prevent age spots in the first place. So sunscreen is crucial. "If you're prone to spots, even a small amount of sun exposure can bring them on," says Valerie Callender, MD, an associate professor of dermatology at Howard University College of Medicine in Washington, DC. Same goes for melasma: No matter what you do to remedy it, those blotches will recur if you're not careful. "I've seen patients spend hundreds of dollars on melasma treatments then they go to the beach without sunscreen, and boom, it's back," she adds.
Salicylic Acid is also known as Betahydroxy acid or BHA. It is derived from a bitter powder that comes from the bark of a willow tree. It is a "keratolytic" (keratin-dissolving) which is the technical term for exfoliating ingredient. It actually can penetrate into the pore to dissolve dead skin cell build up and encourages the shedding of the top layer of skin which prevents the pores from becoming congested.
Good ingredients cannot make good meals, skin care also needs techniques like cooking skills. Here are some advice to make the best of your skin care process.
