Murdoch Has 'Unfit' Company
May 6, 2012 by White House Chronicle Leave a Comment
Rupert Murdoch, the 81-year-old chief executive of News Corp., has been told by a select committee of the British parliament that he is "unfit" to head his global media conglomerate.
It is a particularly British accusation and one that is especially punishing, both because it is so indelible and is so seldom used.
"Unfit" is not a charge that is often leveled, so its impact is especially great. In 1971 a publishing rival of Murdoch's, Robert Maxwell, was indicted as being "unfit" to run a public company. His were sins of greed and venality.
Murdoch's sins, you might say, are sins of encouraging a culture of corruption in two of his London-based tabloid newspapers: the defunct News of the World and The Sun. It should be said that Murdoch did not invent the culture of Britain's tabloid press, but he encouraged it to lengths of excess that had not been dreamed of earlier.
Fleet Street — the collective name for British newspapers which derives from the street where they were once all located — has always been a place of excess. But things really turned white hot in the late 1950s and 1960s.
Television and radio were competing for entertainment value, but news was still the province of newspapers. The game was to shock the readers without depressing them. The publisher Lord Beaverbrook said during World War II of his Daily Express: "I want the readers to feel the sun is shining when they read the Express."
When I arrived in Fleet Street, well after the war, the sun was still shining in the popular papers. And what better way to keep the sun shining than by exposing the foibles of the aristocracy, the Royal Family and, of course, film stars?
We, the denizens of Fleet Street, were modestly paid but were given essentially unlimited expense accounts to disport ourselves around the clubs and restaurants of London in search of the rich and famous at unguarded play. The culture was one of discover, speculate, elaborate and publish.
Reporters were pushed very hard to dig up the titillating, embellish it and present it as news. We descended on crime scenes, the sexually engaged and the overtly greedy.
Yet there were limits, unwritten but understood, especially pertaining to private grief and even the Royal Family. Infidelity from a vicar was reportable. Similarly rumored goings on by major politicians and national figures, less so.
But change was on its way in the shape of Rupert Murdoch, and in the growing force of television in British life. Murdoch trashed the barriers, such as they were. He started publishing pictures of bare-breasted girls in The Sun, and turned his tabloids from being newspapers that published gossip along with the news to gossip-only papers. They became vicious as well as tawdry.
Murdoch also turned his papers from leaning politically left-wing to being savagely right-wing. It worked.
The Sun and the News of the World started making enough money to finance Murdoch's other ventures, including buying and building Fox News.
Murdoch established an even more irresponsible culture. There were no rules now: Hence the phone-tapping, police bribing and other sins that have brought Murdoch to his sorry state of being "unfit." There was a new thuggery and vulgarity that had not existed.
Yet if Murdoch is unfit, so are his accusers. It is British politicians — including Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair and David Cameron and their followers — who indulged Murdoch, courted him and encouraged the arrogance of Fleet Street.
British newspaper publishers have always considered it their right to have access to the prime minister and no holder of that office has sought to disillusion them. – For the Hearst-New York Times Syndicate

Shubh Vivah (English: Happy Wedding) is a 2012 Indian television drama series telecast on Sony Entertainment Television. It premiered on 27 February 2012 and went off-air on 29 June 2012.

It is loosely based on the popular Tamil serial, Metti Oli, which aired on Sun TV from 2002 to 2005. Apart from initial arc, there is no similarity between the shows.

Plot
The story begins with Mr. Saxena and his five marriageable daughters who are kind, innocent, and gentle and live in Agra.

A young man from Vrindavan named Amrit manages to impress Mr. Saxena's second daughter, Saroj but in reality he is having an affair with a married woman named Sarla. Saroj and Amrit get married. On the same day Saroj's elder sister, Karuna, marries Mr. Saxena's friend's son, Madan.

After marriage, Saroj learns of Amrit's affair but keeps it to herself. Saroj is desperate to save her marriage but fails. Though his aunt and brother try to make him realise Saroj's importance, Amrit sends her back to her home in Agra. However, after some time, Amrit and his family start missing Saroj and bring her back thus giving a new lease of life to their marriage.

Amrit's mother Kaushalya reveals details of his affair with Sarla to Saroj. She also assaults Saroj and ties her up with ropes. Saroj escapes to find Amrit but walks in on his stabbed dead body. Kaushalya blames Saroj. With help from Vinod and her sisters, Saroj is proved innocent and Sarla's husband is arrested for the murder. Saroj is discovered to be pregnant. While the family plans to get her married to Vinod against both their wishes, Saroj stops the wedding after discovering Vinod and Neelu's relationship. The two are married and the family meet Manthan, Amrit's look-alike, at the wedding.

1 year later
Saroj has been married to Manthan and they are raising their son who they have named Amrit. Madan and Karuna, too, have a son named Rohan. Thus, the story ends on a good note.

Without further ado, let me reveal the best motorcycle eyewear on the market. I have highlighted the pros and cons for each as well as my verdict. I wrap up the review with the best motorcycle glasses buyer's guide where I give the best features to look for, and guide you to make an informed purchase.
If you've been in the motorcycle field for far too long you've probably seen the Bobster brand popping out several times. This is a renowned brand known for its broad range of quality bike eyewear products. I have actually included several products of this brand in this review.
Bobster BRH2001 Road Hog II Sunglasses reflects the quality the company reinforces in its flagships. These sunglasses are a must-have if you ride often in sunlight areas. The glasses are prescription ready meaning you can fit your prescription glasses with ease. They are ideal for any time of the day as they come with different sets of polycarbonate lenses. These lenses are scratch-resistant and offer the best optical clarity.
Meanwhile, the adjustable or detachable strap can help for a snug fit or to convert from glasses to goggles. Riding in wind is also effortless with the foam padding at the eyecup to help shield eyes from wind. The design of these glasses is one of the best on the market for its aesthetic appeal.
Also notable is the lightweight of this eyewear to prevent fatigue to your eyes. Also, the glasses are made to protect you against the harmful UV rays to make your journey worth taking. But there is no provision for rain and fog. If you are having a full-face helmet it shouldn't be a problem, but a problem with the open face helmet. For storage purposes, the carry case has been included.
Given the great features these motorcycle glasses come with, I am pleased to recommend them for any enthusiast motorcyclists. What I like is that they do not cost too much, so no excuse to have this accessory to enhance your optical clarity and make a bold fashion statement. The straps make it possible to fit the eyewear properly. And, with different lenses provided, you have a versatile eyewear.
Let's talk about the Wiley X Gravity. One of the best-selling Wiley X's.
Well, the Gravity frame is part of Wiley X's climate control series, it means that it has a foam gasket on the inside, which will block wind, dust, and debris from getting into your eyes. So applications like motorcycle riding, skiing, and safety reasons, if you've got dry eye. All kinds of applications that you can use this foam for. But anytime you don't need to use the foam, you can pop it out of the frame and wear it just like a regular wrap sunglass. And I love the fact that you could also buy extra foam down the road if you need it.
The second feature is that this frame also comes with a T-peg strap. So this thing basically turns your sunglasses into goggles. And then if you're doing a motorcycle ride and then you're getting to where you're going and you just need a pair of glasses to hang out in, you take the strap off, you take the foam off, and you got a nice pair of wraparound glasses.
And the third another really cool feature of this frame is that it's ANSI certified. So not only can these be your riding glasses, your sunglasses, but they can also be your the job safety glasses.
These sunglasses are ANSI rated with or without prescription. And even with the prescription lenses, they're still going to be safety stamped, safety certified, which is amazing. And for those of you who have really tough prescriptions, there's actually going to be an RX adaptor.
A couple other features I really like is all this rubberized grip on the temples. And actually, you get a little touch of it on the nose as well. So if you're using these for sports, they don't go anywhere. When you start sweating, it just kind of hugs onto your face really well.
Yet another product from Bobster – a leader in motorcycle glasses manufacturing. Bobster Rukus Sunglasses come with photochromic lenses which make it easy to ride in a variety of lighting conditions. The lenses can absorb up to 83% of light in unfavorable low-light conditions to give you a better optical clarity, and in bright lighting conditions they can take in 28% to eliminate glare.
The frame of the eyewear is good quality. To protect you from wind, the glasses come with detachable cell foam. Riding with Bobster eyewear is one such an enjoyable moment because they do not only offer a stylish appearance but boost performance.
The photochromic lenses are also fog-resistant to give you a better sight during fog. Furthermore, the glasses offer a good ventilation to prevent any moisture build-up inside which can contribute to fog. The eyewear fits snuggly on your face, and the lenses are scratch resistant. Regardless of the wind speed, you will be protected. UV protection is also sorted.
Just make sure you keep the glasses clean with the microfiber cleaning cloth provided. This will, in fact, prevent any scratches on the eyewear. Do not use any abrasive or rough cloths. The case is provided for storage purposes.
For many years of riding motorbikes with Bobster glasses, I must say I haven't really seen a major disappointment. This set is also good for your riding adventures. Its photochromic lenses make it possible to ride in different lighting environments as they can absorb more light in the dark and less in bright conditions. The pair is cheaper so it won't break your bank. I would certainly recommend. Remember though, that you have to purchase the prescription glasses if you are prescribed to.
WYND Blocker Vert Polarized Sunglasses can also be the best eyewear you've been looking for your motorbike. They come with the plastic frame and plastic lens. The lenses are polarized meaning they can cut the sunlight glare. So riding in bright conditions with these sunglasses shouldn't be a problem at all.
The lenses are available in amber and smoke colors. With the TAC (Triacetate Cellulose) polarized lenses, the sunglasses will protect you against the harmful UV rays A and B. Any exposure to the harmful rays for a prolonged time can lead to detrimental eye conditions. Fortunately, this eyewear has a UV protection rating of UV400 which exceeds the industry's standard.
Polarized lenses retain the true colors of objects and eliminate glare. Added to these lenses is the removable wind-resistant liner which makes it easy to ride amid strong winds at high speeds. The earpiece is rubberized to provide stability when wearing these eye glasses. And, you can convert the sunglasses to goggles with the strap included. This strap is adjustable, so it can provide a snug fit.
While polarized lenses are great to cut glare and restore the true colors of objects, they do not perform well in the nighttime. You might have to get alternative sunglasses for nighttime riding.
This is a good product by WYND. I must say it is the best fit for budget-conscious motorcyclists. Its polarized lenses are a must-consider for bright light conditions. But, if you ride mostly at night, I will not recommend this set of eyeglasses. Moreover, the plastic lens and plastic frame are not that good on scratches. If that's infinitesimal to you, then continue making the purchase. On overall, the eyewear is impressive in its price range.
Bobster Shield Sunglasses could be the best motorbike eyewear for your money. It has a polycarbonate frame which is durable and scratch resistant. That said, the eyewear will last long for years to come provided you care for it. Bobster includes microfiber cloth to wipe these sunglasses and prevent scratches.
Moreover, the lenses are made with polycarbonate. This composite material is far much better than glass with scratch resistance. It is non-polarized, so it will be a good fit for nighttime riding. However, note that polarization is good in eliminating the glare and restoring the true colors.
The glasses are further made to be 100% UV resistant thus protecting your eyes from the harmful rays. They can protect you against all sorts of outdoor elements. But I have not seen any provision for protection against rain.
The frame is black which is stylish enough to carry the eyewear anywhere. Lens with is 75 millimeters and they are prescription ready. A case is included for your storage.
I would like to recommend this affordable Bobster motorbike eyewear. It comes with a polycarbonate frame and polycarbonate lenses which are durable and scratch resistant more than glass lenses. On top of that, the eyeglasses are 100% UV resistant. What else is left? It's a great pair of sunglasses which I regard as the best value for money.
Birds Eyewear 4 Pair Motorcycle Riding Glasses are the best value for money. Instead of giving color options, the glasses come as a set of 4 with all common colors included for your choice of riding conditions. What impresses me is that the price remains affordable than other brands despite providing 4 sets.
The vented EVA foam padding helps in protecting you against the wind while the anti-fog lenses ensure that fog is not a distraction in your riding adventures. The available colors in these 4 sets are yellow, light blue, smoke and clear.
The light blue may appear as though it is dark blue on the pictures. That is how it looks on the pictures normally.
With these glasses, you get to choose what to wear on specific conditions. But without knowledge you may get confused. If you are riding in the dark, the clear eyewear is the best; for normal days you should wear the smoke set; for overcast and cloudy days you should wear yellow glasses. The light blue eyewear is good in low light conditions as it optimizes the existing light.
The overall design of the eyewear is impressive with polycarbonate lenses rated at UV400. So, wearing these sunglasses in the sunlight will be a good move if you want 100% protection against the harmful rays. There is a microfiber bag provided to store each eyewear product. This will help in protecting them against any scratches. Besides, the polycarbonate lenses do a great job in scratch resistance.
I struggled to find any negative side of these glasses apart from the separate purchase of prescription glasses if you need one. It's a good buy to have these eyeglasses which give you the opportunity to wear a specific color in different riding conditions. Other products give you the option to choose the relevant color but this brand is unique in its offering. For anyone riding in different light conditions, I would recommend this product.
This is another Bobster product worth investing it hence I chose it. It has black frame and comes in two sets, viz. clear lens and photochromic lens. These lenses make it possible to wear in different conditions. For instance, the clear lens is suitable for nighttime ride whereas the photochromic lens could be suitable in low-light and bright conditions.
The photochromic lens adjusts the light accordingly. If you riding in low light conditions, the lens can maximize the light capture and absorb more light. When riding in the bright conditions, it absorbs less light thus to avoid being distracted by glare when riding on a wet tar road or bright sunlight.
Bobster BGUN001 Gunner Convertible Sunglasses are prescription ready meaning you can fit prescription glasses easily. Included is the removable closed cell foam which helps in protecting against debris.
The lenses are also fog resistant to enhance your optical clarity. To clean the eyewear, please stick to the provided microfiber cloth to prevent any scratches.
Although the price is a bit heavy compared to others, the product is worth investing in it considering its features. Other Bobster glasses come as a single set where you have to select the relevant lens colors based on your riding preferences. But you will have to purchase the Rx glasses separately.
Also noteworthy is the protection against the UV rays. These eyewear sets have a special coating that prevents any penetration of the harmful UVA and UVB rays. The carry case is included to store your valuables and protect them against scratches or breakage.
Bobster is keeping up with the competition and convenience of including different sets of lenses. This product include clear lens and photochromic lens which is give you the opportunity to wear a specific set in various lighting conditions. Although the product is kind of expensive, I still recommend for anyone looking for a high-end versatile product. Other features are still impressive.
Bobster Hooligan Photochromic Sunglasses are affordable sunglasses for motorcyclists looking for budget-friendly product. Indeed you will not break your bank account with these sunglasses without compromising the features. Unlike the aforementioned product, this product comes as a single set.
Of paramount importance are the photochromic lenses in this Hooligan product. The design is classic, sleek and stylish. The glasses will add a stylish appearance and performance to entice the onlookers. With the photochromic lenses, you will be exposed to 32% of light transmission in bright light conditions and about 85% in low-light conditions. This will help eliminate the bright light distractions that have contributed to many accidents so far in many countries.
Included is the Bike Shop Supply Certificate of Authenticity or Warranty. Also, the eyewear comes with the microfiber pouch wherein you can store it safely.
The frame wrap around the face has replaced the foam in this product. While it seems as though is a good addition to protect against wind, I don't think it can compare to the comfort of the foam. So this is the downside I have noticed so far.
Nonetheless, the frame design is unique in its price range.
This eyewear from Bobster retains the characteristics of the brand with its great features. It is good in protecting you against the outdoor elements when riding. Photochromic lenses are popular in the motorbike industry. Given the price tag of this product, I do not complain too much about the lack of lens variety. The frame's wrap around feature protects against the strong winds. It also enables good ventilation.
Here's my last product in the review. It is also an affordable eyewear for motorcyclists with great features. Unique to this product is a double anti-fog coating on both sides. So it is a product I reckon if riding amid fog.
Moreover, this Global Vision Eyewear product comes as a set of 3 where you get the yellow eyewear, clear and smoke sunglass. For bright light the yellow set is ideal and for nighttime the clear eyewear is good. That is a good idea to purchase a product with different sets so you can choose which is applicable in different settings.
Rated at UV400, the sunglasses are best in protecting your eyes against the harmful sunlight rays. Then the polycarbonate lenses capture more light while also resisting any scratch. The lenses are also durable thanks to the polycarbonate material. Wind proof is provided by the Neoprene foam to make your riding comfortable in strong winds at high speeds.
While this may not be the top product on the market, it is arguably one of the best in tis price range. It comes with a set of 3. This gives you the opportunity to choose the best eyewear for specific light conditions. Moreover, each side of the lens is anti-fog coated which then makes it more enjoyable to ride in fog. This also prevents moisture build-up from your eyes. Thanks to the Neoprene foam that the eyewear protects against winds. I would certainly recommend this product.
I have reached the end of the review now it's the time to delve into a comprehensive guide. As per the promise, I am going to help you make informed buying decisions in this section. If you are a novice buyer it can be challenging to pick the best motorcycle glasses on the market hence I brought this guide.
Which features are important to consider when buying motorcycle glasses?
What is the best color for the lenses?
When buying the best motorcycle glasses, you have to take into account the safety features, comfort and color variants of the lenses. The last consideration should actually be about the aesthetic appearance and the price. What's the point of a good-looking pair of sunglasses that cannot protect you against glare, dust, debris and wind? Let's see which safety features to consider.
Polycarbonate is a composite material used in lenses to enhance their durability and provide them with scratch resistance feature. The material performs better if you compare it to glass with regard to scratches. Again, it also offers a great protection against UV rays when coated with UV400.
Any exposure to the UV for a prolonged time could result in damaged eyesight. It will also affect your riding performance. As thus, it is important to consider the extent of UV protection. The industry's standard is UV400 which can protect you from 100% of UV radiations. You will therefore be free of the longest wave UVA and the short-wave UVB rays that could damage your eyes.
Polarized lenses should not be confused with UV protection. A polarized lens, however, protects you from excess light as much as a UV protection. Polarization of lenses simply refers to the integration of crystal series in the lenses to inhibit excess light transmission. A polarized lens protects you against glare.
However, it is not good for nighttime vision when riding as it may block the necessary you need for nighttime riding.
Mirror lenses, on the other hand, do not change how you perceive the color. These lenses sharpen your vision while protecting your eyes from the harmful UV rays. It may feel as though you are wearing clear lenses because you will not see the difference in your vision when riding.
This code means the American National Standards Institute which assures that a particular set of eyewear has undergone rigorous and intensive tests to test its safety. Such glasses are great for your riding. They can be used in various sporting activities or institutions such as chemistry laboratories.
Anti-fog coating is applied to lenses to make them free of fog. This improves optical clarity during unfavorable conditions. Other products such as the Global Vision Eyewear product have double coating at either side of the lens. A double coating like this can be beneficial in extreme temperatures. Note that anti-fog is challenging to combine with other coatings hence other brands opt for a better wraparound frame than the anti-fog treatment.
Wind protection is also of major concern when selecting the best motorcycle glasses. This includes the debris and dust when riding at high speeds. Fortunately, some glasses have foam padding at the eyecups to protect against wind. Note that the padding degrades with time so you might have to service or purchase new eyewear.
The design of the eyewear also matters in wind protection. For instance, a wraparound frame can shield your eyes from wind. Equally important is the ventilation because the foam can lead to heat and moisture on your lenses.
This feature is not always being taken into account. If you wear a full-face helmet with a shield then you are sorted but an open-face helmet needs this feature. There is a hydrophobic coating which is good in repelling water during rain. It's a feature worth considering if you love riding in rain.
There is not necessarily the best color for the lenses as it depends on riding settings. The color yellow is common in the industry. But, using that color in nighttime riding is just a bad choice because it will not harness much of the light in the dark. Instead, I would use a clear lens during the dark. Similarly, a clear lens in bright sunlight is just a bad choice, and I would rather opt for a grey lens which minimizes distortions and present a true color.
A clear lens is good in shadowed places. Some glasses may come with a dark tint which is good in absorbing the more light. An amber and orange lens plays a significant role in reflecting the blue light on the road which can distract you and expose your eyes to glare. Other lenses come in brown which is a great color to provide more contrast and detail, especially when riding on a gravel road.
A yellow lens can help with optical clarity by filtering out the blue light. This color is best-suited in overcast, cloudy and dawn conditions. It is renowned for its effectiveness in retaining sharpness and in reducing glare.
Also, worth considering with regard to lenses is the photochromic tint. This is proportional to the light circumstances. If you are in low light conditions, the lens will absorb more light and when in bright conditions, it will absorb less light.
Other miscellaneous features include the strap which makes it easy to convert your sunglasses into goggles. It also helps to provide a snug fit. Check if the strap is removable for your convenience.
Again, the foam padding in your lenses should be removable so that you can replace it if it degrades.
The other feature I would like to advise you on is the compatibility of the sunglasses with the helmet. Please check this before making any purchase. There are some helmet manufacturers that sell glasses as well. That could be an assurance that their eyewear is compatible with whichever helmet you have purchased.
This marks the end of my review about the best motorcycle glasses on the market. Motorcycle glasses are indispensable accessories for every motorcyclist because they do not only add a fashion statement but enhance performance. But this is provided you have chosen the best features on the market. My aforementioned buyer's guide plays that role in helping you make an informed purchase of the best eyewear for motorcycles.
I have reviewed the top 8 motorcycle glasses which I believe can be of great help to you. After every product, I have expressed my verdict that how I feel about a certain product. Added to that are pros and cons to help you weigh your decisions. I know that choosing the best eyewear can be daunting if you do not know when and how to start.
Good luck in your riding adventures. I hope to hear from you soon that how did my eyewear selection help you out!

Ask JKM a Question: The Mummy and Dark Universe?
A reader, David, writes:
"Have you seen The Mummy (2017) yet, and if so what are your thoughts on it, and the genesis of the "Dark" Cinematic Universe?"
That is an excellent question, David. Thank you for asking me.
I have not seen The Mummy at this point, but I will definitely see it eventually, probably when it is available to stream at home.
I should state, right up front, I am not generally a fan of Mummy movies that concentrate more on action and thrills than on blood-curdling horror.
For me, growing up, the Mummy was a "horror" character, and a scary one at that. The modern action take on the character -- whether fronted by Brendan Fraser or Tom Cruise -- does not interest me much. I didn't like the 1999 The Mummy's take on the famous character at all, so this isn't necessarily a dig against a new film I haven't seen yet, just a matter of personal preference.
Regarding the "Dark" shared universe, I have to write that, initially, I don't care for the name of the bloody thing.
At this point in the cycle of studio blockbuster history, the word "dark" is just too generic and commonly-used to symbolize anything specific, or intriguing, or even sinister. We've had dark knights and their rise, we've visited Thor's dark world, and traveled into darkness with Star Trek. Calling the Universal Monsters Shared Cinematic Universe a "dark" one suggests, at least to me, that not much good thought has gone into the reasons to revive these monsters in today's climate.
I know, of course, there is a monetary reason for such a revival.
I'm writing here about the artistic reasons. I love characters such as Dracula, the Wolf Man, the Invisible Man, the Bride of Frankenstein, the Mummy and The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and I am not at all averse to seeing their stories retold in updated fashion, if done so with intelligence and atmosphere. The previews I've seen of The Mummy aren't encouraging on these fronts, but again, I don't want to judge a book by its cover. It's very possible I will enjoy the movie, or find value in it, when I watch it in full.
But I can't say, honestly, that I have a lot of interest in an "action" version of The Bride of Frankenstein, or Creature from the Black Lagoon, for example.
Similarly, I would not want to watch an "action" Freddy Krueger movie, or action Michael Myers movie. All these characters belong to the horror genre, and they exist inside the parameters of that genre. I believe someone could indeed make an intelligent, new version of these creature features of old, but I don't have confidence that "action" is the best route to take. Creatively -- artistically -- I believe it is a mistake.
Similarly, I don't like that these films are going to be fronted by "big" stars such as Tom Cruise, or Johnny Depp.
For me, the monsters themselves are the stars of these films, and it isn't necessary to pay an "A" list actor like Cruise or Depp for the project. In fact, I feel that their presence actually distracts from the monsters, and changes the nature of the beast, literally.
In short, these long-lived monster characters might simply exist best in smaller budgeted, more idiosyncratic, tightly-written, scary horror movies. They don't have to exist as super expensive CGI incarnations, meant to be huge blockbusters, fronted by huge stars.
If action is to be the primary direction of the franchise, I just can't see how these timeless creatures will benefit much from a 21st century re-paint. The new monsters will just be effects. Yet if you go back and watch the Universal Monster films of the 1930's and 1940's, you can detect that the stories and antagonists are grounded in character and humanity, not effects work.
I should be incredibly excited about a cinematic revival of the Universal Monsters, and perhaps I will be, after watching The Mummy.
But I feel, at this point, that a new shared cinematic universe needs to be more than expensive action-fantasy, fronted by box office stars. If the monsters must be brought back, the filmmakers should do everything possible to meaningfully update them, making them relevant to the fears of today.
And most of all, they must make them scary again. That the franchise opens with action -- and with Tom Cruise -- is, to me, a warning sign that these monsters aren't really well-understood or appreciated by the filmmakers involved.

Cult-TV Movie Review: The Stranger (1973)


If you switch to the beta version of iOS 12, which is currently available only to developers, you might have more problems than iOS 11 as a whole. Bugs, glitches, compatibility issues and other disadvantages. That's because this is the first beta release of iOS 12, and it has a lot of work to do to meet Apple's hopes for a smooth mobile operating system like it did then.
2 is inevitably bad or does not surpass iOS 11 as its parent operating system. However, updating your iPhone can be a big change, and it can be tedious to undo it if you have not taken the proper precautions. So, before you decide to bite into the bullet and update your iPhone, you should first check all the issues listed below.
We are also upset. While we all hoped that Apple would work to simplify and minimize the volume HUD, the classic big box is still here to block our screens, while in some cases changing the volume of our iPhone.
The iOS community held a collective celebration when it was announced that iOS 12 would return the notification grouping to iPhones and iPads. When it does, the new system really cleans up the notification center and allows you to focus on individual messages and alerts.
The problem is that it does not always work. We've had conflicting experiences here, especially with third-party apps. Apple's native apps seem to work more often than, say, Facebook Messenger, but both suffer from grouping errors. When and why it works is a mystery that will hopefully be solved and smoothed out by Beta 2.
While Siri shortcuts look great, Apple has not integrated the "Shortcuts" app with Beta 1 on iOS 12. While you will find Siri shortcuts with the new software, you still have no way to create completely custom shortcuts. That's a big disappointment given that it's one of the features we're looking forward to.
If Siri Shortcuts interest you, you should consider  workflow in the meantime.
In our short beta experience, we've already frozen three iPhones without warning. Your iPhone may hang on the rotating wheel's screen for more than 10 minutes before it fixes itself. We're not sure what's causing this, but in two cases AirDropping documents triggered the freeze.
Look, beta testing can be fun. You get new features ahead of everyone else, and you can help Apple fix bugs or glitches before the operating system is released. Of course, this last bit is why betas can be less than ideal.
Not all betas are the same, but most of the time you will encounter bugs. Some may be harmless, like an app crash here or there or a behavior you did not expect. Others, however, can be persistent, widespread annoyances that dramatically reduce the usability of your iPhone.
If you're someone who does not want to deal with temperamental software issues, the beta version is just not for you. They should better wait for the official release of iOS 12 in September.
According to Apple's iOS 12 Release Notes, "The Google Maps app does not launch from the nearby map widget buttons." If you're someone using this widget feature, you may lose some functionality by downloading iOS 12.
iWork documents in Pages, Keynote and Numbers may not fit well with your iPhone or iPad on iOS 12. Apple told developers that sharing these documents through AirDrop or the Files app might cause the device to be unresponsive. The "Workaround" restarts the device. That's a fight.
If you want your time zones to be accurate when traveling, you must set the time zone manually. You will find this option under Settings -> General -> Date and Time. Make sure "Auto Adjust" is disabled.
Apple claims that Skype may quit unexpectedly on iOS 12. If you're an avid skyper, you may want to wait until this bug is ironed out.
Some EA games may quit unexpectedly on iOS 12 devices. Apple calls " Real Racing 3" and "Sims Free Play" two examples, so the problem may not occur too widespread.
iOS 12 Release Notes claim "Some users may not be able to sign in to the Bank of America app or view account information." That could be a deal-breaker for BOA customers – you need your money more than you need iOS 12.
Citi customers could be their colleague at the Bank of America want to follow.
Your newly created calendar events may not be available to VoiceOver, according to Apple. This is certainly a consideration when relying on VoiceOver in the Calendar app.
Checking your route after a walk or jogging is a fulfilling way to track your fitness. Unfortunately, your card may not show up in the iOS 12 activity app.
If you have a Mac with a Touchbar and a Mac with a Touch ID, it will hit you this problem does not apply to you. However, keep in mind all other Mac users: If an Apple Pay payment form is displayed in Safari on a non-Touch ID Mac, you will not be able to confirm payment if your iPhone or Apple Watch display is turned off.
Apple points out Obvious workaround: Wake up your iPhone or Apple Watch Display before repeating the purchase.
Do not remember to use alarms in your car when using CarPlay – Apple has clarified that iOS 12 alarms currently do not work with CarPlay. Better wait for a patch for this error when using alarms in the car.
Some apps may have overlapping keyboard suggestions. Whether you use these suggestions or not, this mistake makes your keyboard cluttered and ugly. If you encounter this error, close and restart the app or document you entered.
Although the FaceTime group is one of the most exciting features of iOS 12, it will not be available on all devices running the beta. Apparently, only iPhone 7 and later is currently compatible with the FaceTime group, while the feature is not available on the iPad. Let's hope Beta 2 balances it.
While more iPhones get access to camera effects in messages, the list is still limited. Only iPhone SE and iPhone 6s and higher can use the new effects, while again there can be no iPad at all. For FaceTime camera effects, FaceTime's list is the same – iPhone 7 and above only. No iPads. You get the drill.
If you want to try the FaceTime group, be prepared to encounter invisible text overlays. To make them appear again, you have to move the preview window down, according to Apple.
Apple boasts that you can join up to 32 people at a time on a group FaceTime call. In the beta version of iOS 12, adding new attendees may not work. So much for a FaceTime call.
Why would the recipient still want to see you during a FaceTime call? This issue affects the 10.5-inch iPad Pro, the second-generation 12.9-inch iPad, and the sixth-generation iPad.
If you're calling Wi-Fi via T-Mobile, you should be careful. Apple claims that your call could be deleted when you switch from a Wi-Fi connection to a cellular connection. Why this problem only concerns T-Mobile is not known.
If you are downloading the beta version of iOS 12, you should check your voicemail regularly. Apple warns that voicemail notifications may be inconsistent and may not be displayed when your iPhone is locked. You'd better check your voicemail manually instead of relying on notifications for a while.
Calls on other devices that use your wireless service provider feature are not available with the beta version of iOS 12. However, handoff calls still work on iOS 12, even on devices that do not run the beta.
Apple claims that users may not be able to configure call forwarding while they are running the beta version of iOS 12. With no indication of how soon this issue will be resolved, users redirecting calls may not need to continue downloading the beta phase.
Calls do not seem to be the strength of iOS 12. Check your Wi-Fi call status – Apple warns that this feature might be disabled after the upgrade. Fortunately, the solution is fast: Turn Wi-Fi Calling back on Settings -> Phone.
If you do not use English as your iPhone language, the search results may not be available in photos. Maybe Apple did not manage to test the feature in other languages. Nevertheless, this bug could be a bit annoying for non-English iPhones.
When you view a PDF in Safari, you rotate your device, which means that the PDF may not be scrolled or maximized in the layout. Be careful when viewing PDF files in Apple's web browser.
With iOS 12, you can not forget apps that you want to delete. From now on, the logs of this app stay in Screen Time, so your usage data will be displayed even days after deleting the app. At the very least, this error confirms that Apple wants to delete this data from the screen time when a corresponding app is deleted.
Your screen time settings will not change on your iPad just because you have changed them on your iPhone. That will come later. Usage data will still be synchronized. That's probably more important anyway.
Screening time will be of no use to users running iOS 12 beta. You will always see the message "While using your iPhone, the time is displayed here." But no matter how long you use your iPhone, this message will never change. Let's hope that Apple patches this before the official release.
If you have multiple iPhones in an iCloud account Your "Picked Up iPhone" data may be distorted as you tempt the screen time to think the data from any device counts as an iPhone. No word on how this will affect future updates if this issue is resolved.
While the screen time is displaying your child's iPhone activity, iOS 12 will ship with an error that prevents you from viewing the website Usage. No word why this problem exists, but this data may appear on your child's iPhone. If you would like to inquire about their browsing habits, ask for their screen time report instead.
Apple warns that your child's iCloud account may not report usage data back to your device, thereby thwarting the overall purpose of screen time for the parent , No workaround is listed for this issue.
That may sound a bit confusing – Downtime is a new feature that will not "bother" your entire iPhone. You can choose which apps you can use during downtime, which is called "always allowed," with iOS initially offering a set of standard apps. These defaults are not allowed in the beta version of iOS 12 until you click Settings -> Time -> Always Allowed to refresh the list of apps.
Your weekly reports may appear once a week, but iOS 12 has the feeling that you need to send multiple notifications when it does.
Screen time allows you to lock certain apps and websites for you and your child. Unfortunately, a bug in iOS 12 seems to have blocked apps and websites even after Screen Time was disabled as a whole.
The Apple language suggests that this is not a persistent problem, so you will not find it yourself. When you do this, tap the "Ignore limit" button and choose "Remember me" or "Ignore".
With screen time and app limits, you can set different time limits for each day in iOS. For example, if you want to give Instagram more app time on Saturdays, you can set this here.
Unfortunately, this bug deletes these custom days as soon as you change the time for an app or category. That's enough for us to recommend that you do not worry about customized days until this bug is fixed because your hard work is wasted for a change of time.
If you set a passcode for the screen time, Apple will ask you to use only numbers. Otherwise, it may be impossible to enter the access code when trying to access the feature. Why this problem exists does not say Apple. But we will take her word for it.
Apple warns users that Siri in iOS 12 "unexpected answers" to "Where's my …?" Ask. "Power" does not mean that this problem occurs every time, but do not expect Siri to find your iPad every time you ask.
If you have text to a friend with Send Siri, it may be convenient to tap the message interface displayed on the screen to jump into the conversation in messages. That could not happen in iOS 12. Apple does not specify what happens when this issue occurs, just that the News app does not load. If this happens to you, Apple recommends simply quitting Siri and then manually open the messages.
Siri Shortcuts are an exciting new iOS 12 feature. However, they may not work for PDF images. Apple's "workaround" is to use a different image format, so you may not need to link to PDFs until this issue is resolved.
For all the tumult about voice memos coming on the Mac, iOS 12 does not want to work with your MacBook or iMac. Voice memos do not seem to sync with iTunes yet. So you need to make sure that you have properly backed up these files if you want to back them up in this beta version.
App developers design their apps to work with the system running your iPhone. With a new, important update, these apps need to be optimized to run on the new software, otherwise the performance is less than ideal, to say the least.
While developers get access to the beta version of iOS 12, not all of them favorite apps can be timely optimized. You can almost be sure that you have problems with these apps, in addition to problems that you know from the beta itself.
Notification badges quickly tell us that we have unread or unattended content in certain apps. Once you see this content, the badge disappears intuitively. This is not the case for Gmail in iOS 12 because the notification flag is retained after new emails are displayed. Removing and restarting Gmail is the only way to remove the notification flag at this time, according to a MacRumors thread.
Measure is a fantastic new tool that uses AR to measure real objects. However, you may have trouble finding the app because iOS occasionally hides it in a random folder. If Measure does not appear on the Home screen for you, swipe down and search for it.
If you try to find the definition of a word in either a search or to use "Lookup" for the selected text, you may not find one from Apple. While Siri Suggestions offers you websites and other content related to your search, the dictionary may not be available on iOS 12. Not all users will know this.
iPhone X does not seem to run Clash Royale performs well on iOS 12, at least with the brightness all the way down , If you need to play the game in the dark, you should only keep the brightness close to zero, otherwise you will give your opponent a big, laggy advantage.
AAA games on iOS 12 are not looking too good. Fortnite crashed when launching a new game. If you're an avid Fortnite player on the iPhone, think again about downloading iOS 12.
When deploying apps for iOS 11 or earlier, JPEG image assets are not included in the compiled format .car file.
Universal Links may not open the expected target app. Please submit a bug report when this issue occurs.
Platform Switching for Switch Control is not available in iOS 12 Beta.
Certain USDZ models loaded in Safari can not display thumbnails.
Several CoreGraphics calls have been blocked from resuming invalid parameters. In iOS 12 beta, these calls can now return NULL or return early.
When layers are quantized with 8-bit or with a lookup table, there may be problems with deconvolution and recurring layers. Workaround : Use only 8-bit linear quantization on these layers.
Models with flexible input sizes can unexpectedly reject input with the default size displayed in the Xcode type field. Workaround : Specify a non-default size entry at the first prediction call.
Certain languages may have a truncated or misaligned layout.
Certain languages may display untagged text.
When a QueueTransaction is executed In applicationQueuePlayer the position of a song is changed and the queue is displayed unchanged.
The addItemWithProductID API can not add a title to a playlist.
In .obj models, bump semantics in .mtl files are not mapped to MDLMaterialSemanticTangentSpaceNormal. Workaround : Use MDLMaterialSemanticBump instead.
The NSURLSession HTTP / 2 implementation has been updated to support the reuse of HTTP / 2 connections as per RFC 7540 section 9.1.1. This requires an HTTP / 2 server to present a certificate covering more than one server host name. The certificate can use the Alternate Subject Name or wild name domain name. In addition, NSURLSession requires name resolution to resolve the different hostnames to the same IP address. NSURLSession can reuse HTTP / 2 connections between different domain names if these conditions are met.
FTP and file URL schemes for automatic proxy configuration (PAC) are deprecated. HTTP and HTTPS are the only supported URL schemes for PAC. This affects all PAC configurations, including but not limited to configurations configured through Settings, System Settings, Profiles, and URLSession APIs, such as URLSessionConfiguration.connectionProxyDictionary and CFNetworkExecuteProxyAutoConfigurationURL ().
There is no default icon for RPBroadcastPickerView. Workaround : Add a picture or label as a subview to RPBroadcastPickerView.
The transfer will be activated in a future release.
Viewing wallet passports in SFSafariViewController may not be available. Workaround : View the run in Safari.
In Swift, the link property of INVOiceShortcut must be accessed as _ _shortcut.
Assigning a value to a parameter that starts with a capital letter raises NSUnknownKeyException. Workaround : Start the parameter name with a lowercase letter.
When you link in Siri, custom responses will not be included in the confirmation dialog Siri reads.
When you present a UIImagePickerController The app ends with a privacy violation if the app does not contain the NSMicrophoneUsageDescription key in the Info.plist. Workaround : Add the NSMicrophoneUsageDescription key to the Info.plist of the application.
Look, jumping to every beta is a gamble and iOS 12 is no exception. While this first version is littered with bugs, it also has many benefits. One might think that the new features are the main attraction, but many simply praise Apple for the speed of iOS 12, especially on older hardware. If you're ready to fight a few bugs, it may end up liking your beta experience.


I've picked 11 heritage railways that I have visited and I can recommend. I think they all make for a great day out and I've highlighted what I think is special about each railway. Let me know which railways you have visited and what you think is the best feature of the railway.
Note: in my original list I had 10 railways but my lovely Twitter followers pointed out I had missed out the West Somerset Railway. I must have had a 'senior moment' as we used this railway last Summer when we were on holiday. My apologies to the WSR whom I hope will forgive me and thus the list totals 11 !!
I have picked 11 heritage railways that I have personally visited. I live in 'deepest darkest Devon' so this means the railways I visit tend to be based more in Southern England. I hope to get further afield in the next few years.
With its gradients and curves you can really experience steam locomotives working hard through the beautiful moorlands of North Yorkshire.
Deep in Bronte country this immaculate branch line with its variety of locomotives and carriages is enthusiasts favourite. The carriages have been very well restored making for great photographs and a very comfortable journey.
A short heritage railway run by volunteers in the foothills of the Mendips in North Somerset. They run trains about once a month on this iconic line. There is a gift and bookshop, museum, buffet coach, wartime pillbox museum, signalbox and much more to see.
Stunning views from this heritage railway combined with the chance to ride in an observation car make this a fantastic day out. Starting the journey at Paignton (where you can connect with mainline trains) you have views of lovely beaches. After passing through the Greenway tunnel, you see the glorious sight of Dartmouth in the distance. The train actually arrives at Kingswear and you then catch the ferry over to the historic Dartmouth if you wish. Dartmouth has the only railway station in the country that has never had track or trains!
One of the many things I like about the isle of Wight railway are the vintage carriages that you can travel in as for me these bring back memories of childhood holidays on the island.
I first visited this railway in the early 1980's when there was hardly any track so to visit it today is a testament to the fantastic efforts of railway enthusiasts.
I can't believe that I missed out the WSR in my original list - the longest heritage railway in England. We used this railway to go on holiday last year as it finishes at the lovely Minehead. I particularly enjoyed the great bookshop they have on the platform at Minehead. I'm adding it to the list now making 11 Heritage railways instead of 10! Sorry WSR but hope I'm forgiven!
The Severn Valley Railway is where I had my stag weekend over 20 years ago so will always be one of my favourite heritage railways notwithstanding the marvelous work by enthusiasts to recreate the steam era there.
At Blaneau Ffestiniog you get two railways for the price of one with a trip to Potmadoc through stunning Welsh scenery and the superb Welsh Highland railway.
The climb from Bodmin Parkway station where you can inter-connect with GWR services certainly challenges a locomotive as the route climbs towards Bodmin general station and is a firm favourite.
Thanks for sharing, they all seem like great lines to visit.
You've missed Swanage. Is it number 12?
The Swanage line was always my Dads favourite because for him it was the perfect branch line. So yes it is got to be number 12!
This is not a comprehensive list of heritage railways as you have pointed out. I have only included those I have actually visited myself. Having said that, I would now include the Swanage Railway as I have mentioned in the comment above.

46 dead after heavy rains, landslides in northern India
This photograph provided by India's National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) shows NDRF personnel rescuing civilians stranded following heavy rains at Chhara village near Nainital, Uttarakhand, Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2021. ( National Disaster Response Force via AP)
LUCKNOW, India (AP) — At least 46 people have died and several are missing after floods triggered by heavy rains hit the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand, officials said Wednesday.
Rescuers worked through the night to retrieve bodies stuck in debris and to evacuate those in vulnerable areas, said S.A. Murugeshan, secretary of the state's disaster management. On Tuesday, officials said 22 people were killed by the rains.
The mountainous state has seen incessant rains for the past three days, flooding roads, destroying bridges and causing landslides in which several homes were washed away. The situation has prompted help from more than 2,000 members of the paramilitary and civil police.
The Indian Meteorological Department said the rains were likely to recede in Uttarakhand on Wednesday, but warned of more heavy downpours in the country's northeastern and southern regions.
The majority of the deaths in Uttarakhand were reported in the picturesque town of Nainital, where 28 people were killed on Tuesday, said Murugeshan. Most of the deaths were caused by homes and buildings collapsing in the torrential rains, he added.
In Mukteshwar, a popular hill station in the state, five laborers died when a wall collapsed on their shanty. In another hilly town, Ramgarh, nine members of a family died as the rains washed away their home, the official said.
Videos shared on social media showed the Ganges River bursting its banks at Rishikesh, and the scenic Nainital Lake overflowing with floodwaters.
Experts say the magnitude of the rains has been staggering. Uttarakhand saw 17.8 centimeters (7 inches) of rain in the first few weeks this month, but recorded nearly 58 centimeters (22.8 inches) within just 22 hours on Tuesday, said Bikram Singh, the director of the Meteorological Center in Dehradun, the state's capital city.
He said climate change has not only increased the frequency of the rains, but also their intensity.
India has seen worrisome rains across several regions this week. Flooding and landslides caused by downpours over the week have killed at least 39 people in the southern Kerala state, which is on high alert for more rains in the coming days.
Landslides and floods are common in India's Himalayan north. Scientists say they are becoming more frequent as global warming contributes to the melting of glaciers there.
In February, flash floods killed nearly 200 people and washed away houses in Uttarakhand. In 2013, thousands of people were killed in floods there.

An exciting opportunity presents itself with possibly one of the most conveniently positioned and highly sought after blocks in Highton.
Positioned within easy distance to a range of all Highton's amenities including walking distance to the Barwon River.
A West Australian woman who became pregnant after a one-night stand has managed to track down the child's father – and find love – six months after posting an ad on Gumtree.
Bianca Fazey, 25, made national headlines in December last year when, heavily pregnant, she posted the ad looking for 'Jeremy from Morley'.
Ms Fazey confirmed to 9 Stories she has since managed to find Jeremy and that the pair are now in a relationship.

Perfect Timing (This Morning) is the song used in the new iPhone commercials.
Stumbled onto this group through Chop Shop music supervision. SO glad I did. This is a great album. Unique, real, feel good music. A variety of acoustic instruments is used. These are songs that stick with you. I definitely can see a lot of these ending up in good TV shows and movies. Zach Braff will love this group when he hears them. You should really get this. Then go to their MySpace and let them know you like it.


I always for snacks which added with vegetables.. Even though my kids are not that fussy when comes to eating vegetables I still take any opportunities to include vegetable as most of the school days they have lunch at school. This vada is really addictive and crispy.. This can be good starter or snacks for after school / work.
Heat oil in the deep frying pan. Take a small spoon and drop small small balls into the hot oil (you can use your fingers too) and fry them until all sides becomes golden brown.
Moong dal la vadaya ..Super veena.
Always a fav this one. Very nice.
Healthy with style -- Awesome click!
Delicious and healthy vadas.. Looks very tempting..
