Former Fox News host says son died from an overdose. Doctors found a mix of drugs in his system.
For the second time in less than two months, former Fox News host Eric Bolling shared news of a family tragedy on Twitter.
The official cause of death was mixed drug intoxication, including cocaine and fentanyl, according to the Boulder County Coroner.
The death was ruled an accident, the coroner's office said.
Bolling's news came on the same day that President Trump called the opioid epidemic the "worst drug crisis in American history" and said his administration was declaring a public health emergency.
Despite Trump's call to action, critics questioned the merits of Trump's speech given that it did not include an immediate request to Congress for emergency funding.
Boulder Police Sgt. Nick Smetzer said that on the evening of Sept. 8, police found Eric Chase Bolling after officers responded to a call for an "unintended death." The 19-year-old was listed on his Facebook page as having studied economics at the University of Colorado Boulder.
The death came hours after Fox News announced the network had decided to part ways with Bolling.
In August he was suspended after a report that he sent lewd texts to female co-workers at the network. Bolling had been a co-host of the weekday program "The Specialists" and a former co-host of "The Five." Bolling was also among a wave of Fox employees accused of inappropriate sexual behavior after Fox broke its relationship with Roger Ailes, the network's longtime chairman.
The HuffPost reported that three current and former female colleagues accused Bolling of sending them the messages. Fox News then launched an investigation and suspended Bolling, until officially severing ties with him on Sept. 8.
Earlier this week, Bolling had sparred with Bill O'Reilly — another Fox News host at the focus of sexual harassment allegations — over O'Reilly's reference to Eric Chad Bolling in an interview with the New York Times.
During the interview, O'Reilly had urged Times journalists to consider the consequences their reporting on him could have on his family.
Bolling quickly responded, saying: "I believe it is beyond inappropriate for anyone to bring in the tragic death of my son Eric Chase Bolling. Just as Bill O'Reilly had wanted to shield his children from the allegations against him, I hope he will honor my request and avoid any future mentions of my son.
Danielle Paquette and Jenna Johnson contributed to this report.
Police found a baby dead and infested with maggots. His parents are now charged with murder.


Drain Cleaning Plumbing Raleigh, NC | Next Level Pipe Lining Inc.
How to Replace or Repair Orangeburg Sewer Pipes?
Like other areas in your home or business, drains accumulate dirt and debris over time but because they lie in hidden areas, removing this clutter is often a neglected task. The buildup narrows the pipe diameter and corrodes its walls, which eventually contributes to blockages and damage. Drain cleaning is an easy, low cost plumbing maintenance process that clears away clogs, buildup, and roots to restore your pipes to peak efficiency and extend their service life. Next Level Pipe Lining's expert technicians are experienced at diagnosing drain problems and developing effective treatment plans using our innovative technology to provide real results.
When a clogged drain causes sewer backup and standing water in your plumbing fixtures or floors, Next Level Pipe Lining's drain cleaning services can quickly restore waste flow. We can rapidly identify the source of the problem, and our skilled technicians are equipped with a full selection of effective tools to break apart obstructions so that water and waste materials can travel normally. From everyday household clogs to tough blockages in commercial or industrial settings, we can remove the problem quickly. Next Level Pipe Lining also specializes in preventive drain cleaning, an easy and affordable way to maintain sewer function, prevent blockages, and reduce the rate of sewer pipe deterioration. A routine annual drain cleaning will remove stuck-on waste, mineral and hard water scale buildup, tree roots, and corrosion from the interior of the pipe. This simple process takes as little as an hour or two and can significantly reduce the frequency of clogs. It also helps the pipe maintain its integrity longer, which will keep it functioning and prevent unnecessary sewer repairs.
We have invested in the newest advances in drain cleaning technology to provide quality results to every customer. One of our most popular solutions is hydro jetting, a powerful drain cleaning system that utilizes pressurized water to scour away waste and minerals that are adhered to the interior of the pipe. We insert a highly-calibrated water nozzle that emits water in jets at over 4000 PSI, a force strong enough to break up nearly any clog while simultaneously cleaning the pipe walls for an all-in-one drain cleaning solution. The debris rinses harmlessly down the drain, leaving no mess for you to clean when service is complete. Next Level Pipe Lining also offers chain cutter drain cleaning, one of the latest and most effective drain cleaning solutions. This technique uses a specially-engineered chain tool that's designed to rapidly break apart thick, rock-hard mineral layers and hard water scale that restrict waste flow and contribute to frequently obstructions. Our chain cutter drain service requires no water, making it an excellent option in nearly any drain cleaning scenario.
For the most advanced drain cleaning technology delivered by honest, expert technicians, you can count on Next Level Pipe Lining. We're experienced in solving the types of drain problems residents and business owners in the Raleigh area face, and we pride ourselves on a superior experience for every customer.

UPCOMING ecoCaledon Drawdown Project: Reducing Food Waste –help us get started….
Food waste has become a major global concern. It is estimated that as much one third of food produced for consumption is wasted in one form or another. In North America alone, 168 million tons of food is wasted every year. In Canada, roughly $31 billion worth of food is wasted each year due to over production, product damage and imperfect best-before labeling, and wastefulness in home kitchens (York Region – Food Waste Reduction Strategy).
Here is a recent article in the Toronto Star on reducing food waste.
There are numerous ways that we can address food waste at both the retail and consumer level.
Project Objective: To reduce food waste in both residential and non-residential sectors throughout the Town of Caledon.
bring together a possible alternative that would reduce food waste and lessen the impact on climate change.
If you are a retail or food service establishment in the Town of Caledon we would appreciate your input on current food waste management practices and challenges you face. Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey through the link or QR code below. We thank you for your cooperation.

Bannockburn Binding
By Tracy Cooper-Posey
Romance, Paranormal, Sci-Fi | eBook
Book 1 in the Beloved Bloody Time series. Time is theirs to keep. But it comes with a price. In the early 23rd Century, vampires learned how to travel back in time, and created a time-tsunami that threatened life as we know it, until they corrected their mistake. They created the Chronometric Conservation Agency, which is tasked with preserving history and therefore protecting humanity's future. The Touring arm of the Agency offers trips back into the real past, with vampire guides, called travellers. When Natalia (Tally) Marta, vampire and traveller, takes her client to visit the siege of Stirling Castle in 1314, she is caught and held hostage for ransom by Robert MacKenzie, a Bruce clansman. Rob finds himself drawn to the wilful, stubborn and very different English lady he has captured and the relationship becomes an intimate, highly-charged sexual pairing. Swiftly, Tally and Rob realize their bond is more than sexual, that the emotions stirring their hearts are true. Christian Lee Hamilton, vampire, one of the last true southern gentlemen, and Tally's ex-lover, knows the 1314 time marker enough to jump back and help Tally return home. His arrival at Bannockburn adds complications, for Christian finds himself drawn to Rob MacKenzie as much as Tally is. But neither of them can stay in the past forever. To do so means certain death. WARNING: This book contains two hot, sexy alpha heroes, frequent, explicit and frank sex scenes and sexual language. It includes heart-stopping sexual scenes between the aforementioned sexy heroes, menage scenes, and anal sex. Do not proceed beyond this point if hot love scenes offend you. No vampires were harmed in the making of this novel.

Home > Bart Beaty's Conversational Euro-Comics
Bart Beaty On Randall C's Slaapkoppen
By Bart Beaty
Arguably the best booth in all the tents of Angouleme this year was occupied by the Flemish comics contingent. Set up as the type of faux-bar of Brett Warnock's dreams, the Dutch-speaking Belgians brought a raft of material to the festival that isn't frequently seen. While Belgium is a major comics centre (noted in the frequent use of the term "Franco-Belgian" to describe the dominant tropes of the European style), Flemish comics remain at the periphery due to linguistic and cultural circumstances. This year's festival was a chance to remedy this.
For me, the standout book from this area was Randall C's Slaapkoppen (OOgachtend, 2007), which is also available in French as Les Somnambules (Casterman, 2008). The winner of awards for outstanding debut graphic novel in both Flanders and Holland, the book has already enjoyed a great success in its native tongue.
The success of the book is, I think, largely attributable to the attractiveness of the art. One of the phenomena that I find interesting about comics is how quickly readers judge a work by its art. If you're like me, the vast majority of new comics every Wednesday are rejected with a mere glance. I can take in an entire wall of hundreds of new releases in the space of maybe a minute, immediately honing in on those things that I might find interesting. For me, and for many others, Randall C's work passes that flip test -- the striking simple beauty of the page compositions invites the reader into the world of the book to learn more.
Les Somnambules -- the English title would be Sleepwalkers -- is a narrative built from several overlapping dream stories. Beginning as a mixture of poetic romanticism and Beckett-esque absurdity, the story evolves, some will say devolves, into slapstick and farce. With its whales and shipwrecks and talking wolves the whole thing has something of a Disney tone, but at the same time there is an erotic intimacy that would never be found in Walt's work.
The story itself is probably nothing that you haven't read before, but at least the whimsy never seems forced. Where it works best is as a skeleton on which the artist can hang some truly beautiful images. Randall C. has a loose drawing style that is wonderfully accented by an unusual color sensibility. Each panel is awash in a muted individual color (blues, greens, browns, pinks, oranges for the most part), often transitioning uncued from one panel to the next. The color scheme seems, in a word, relaxed, or even calming, and it works with and against the anarchic story-telling style, creating a much more enjoyable effect than would be found in a black-and-white book of the same style.
Despite its awards and its many virtues, this isn't a masterpiece. It is a book that reminds me somewhat of Goodbye, Chunky Rice insofar as it signals the arrival of a potentially major talent. It is clear from Slaapkoppen that Craig Thompson and Randall C. share some sensibilities and some aesthetic influences. Now it remains to be seen if our Flemish friend will leap to that next level as Thompson has.
It is a testimony to the vitality of this book it has already generated an unofficial English-language translation on the invaluable Comix-Influx site, and, of course, the artist himself has a great site.

Here Are the Latest Rumors About All the Upcoming Marvel Films
We're not going to get any real announcements from Marvel about Phase 4 until either SDCC or D23, but that hasn't stopped the rumor mill from churning out constant "leaks" and rumors. From alleged lists of all upcoming films to possible casting choices, here are two of the biggest rumors circling about the MCU's future.
The Eternals is shaping up to be one of Marvel's more interesting films. With an (mostly unconfirmed) cast of Angelina Jolie, Kumail Nanjiani, Richard Madden, and Ma Dong-Seok, there's a new name being added to the rumor mill. John Wick himself, Keanu Reeves, is rumored to be in talks for a role in the film. Again, for the third time, this is a rumor that is unconfirmed by any major source or by Marvel itself. But still, it's a good rumor.
If Reeves were to join any Marvel franchise, he'd be a great fit for the cosmic fun of The Eternals. Centered on a group of highly powered cosmic beings protecting Earth, Reeves would be perfect as an immortal cosmic warrior kicking serious ass. I also saw several Marvel fans on Twitter saying that Reeves could also make an incredible Silver Surfer, which I definitely agree with.
The Eternals will really help open up the cosmic parts of the MCU introduced in films like Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain Marvel. We've talked about Galactus possibly being introduced or teased in the film, and the Silver Surfer would be a great way to lead into his introduction. It would also provide Reeves with a meatier role that isn't just a one-off, stunt casting type thing.
We don't know for sure who Reeves will be playing, or even if this isn't just a wild rumor. Still, if Reeves is joining the MCU, let him get a really good role that fits his talents.
Another major rumor is the possible leak of all the upcoming MCU films, as posted by The Independent via a Twitter account linked to a Roger Wardell. Wardell accurately leaked multiple Avengers: Endgame plot points back in December, so many Marvel fans consider him a trusted source.
The films Wardell alleges are in motion are Black Widow, The Eternals, Black Panther 2, Shang-Chi, Doctor Strange 2, Nova, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3. There are also allegedly plans for additional Thor, Ant-Man, and Captain Marvel sequels and possibly New Avengers, Young Avengers and Dark Avengers films. Are these legit or just wishful thinking of our dreams made manifest?
This actually lines up with a lot of the films that more reliable sites have sourced are in motion. We know Black Widow and The Eternals are in the works, and Shang-Chi has been long rumored. Guardians 3 is confirmed with the rehiring of James Gunn, and Black Panther 2 and Doctor Strange 2 make sense based on fan response to the characters. Nova is the only outlier, but I had previously seen reports across Twitter that it was under consideration.
Wardell, whose information about Endgame was mostly on the nose, might be a fairly credible source. This does line up with some of the other "leaks" on Reddit, and while I would take them with a Titan-sized grain of salt, it's still worth examining. It wouldn't surprise me if Marvel alternates new character films with some returning characters for a while, and builds up to the next team up film.
Do you think the rumors hold any ground? Are you hoping Reeves joins the MCU as a kickass hero or villain? Let us know in the comments!

Plenty of Carol's loyal followers made sure to express their amazement at the stunning snapshots, with one swooning: 'Sweet Jesus ,' and another writing: 'What a figure .'
Meanwhile another fan seemed in shock over Carol's striking looks, adding: 'Jesus! I'm not gonna look this good in my 30's, let alone 50's!!'
Sharing another moment from her evening, Carol uploaded a photo in which she can be posing beside comedian Rick Edwards and music mogul Louis Walsh as the trip filmed for the BGT spin-off show.

As Carol and her co-stars gathered to discuss the pensioner's win, she revealed she had already found out some rather sweet details about him when she stood in on Lorraine the week prior.
'I interviewed Colin earlier this week and I asked him about his wife Joan and he said they met when she was 15 and he was 16 or something,' she said.
'They married, and two weeks after he was sent away to the Korean War and they didn't see each other for two years.
'Then she had to travel on a boat to Hong Kong for a month to get there. I was weeping, everyone was weeping. It was proper love.'
Colin, 89, who served in the military for 25 years, said he was 'astonished' when he was announced as the winner of the £250,000 BGT prize money and the chance to sing at the Royal Variety Performance.
He wowed audiences a the auditions singing We'll Meet Again in a tribute to his late wife Joan, who he married in 1950 before he was sent off to fight in the Koren War.

Katie Price pleads guilty to shouting abuse at Kieran Hayler's girlfriend in school playground spat

Katie Price court case, Crawley Magistrates Court, West Sussex, UK – 20 Mar 2019
Katie Price is facing two charges of using threatening and abusive words or behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress in relation to a verbal altercation outside a school in Shipley
Katie Price has admitted shouting abuse at ex Kieran Hayler's girlfriend in her kids' school playground last September.
Katie repeatedly called Michelle Pentecost a 'f***king c***' in front of shocked school kids as she rowed with Kieran's girlfriend and one of her friends at the school near her West Sussex home.
The mum-of-five, 41, was due to stand trial over the incident, but today she changed her plea after initially denying she had used threatening, abusive, words or behaviour to cause harassment, alarm or distress to Michelle.

Paul Edwards, prosecuting, told Horsham Magistrates' Court that Katie was seen hurling a 'tirade of abuse' and swore at the two women multiple times.
Katie's defence lawyer Paul Macauley claimed his client's outburst was sparked after she discovered Kieran was dating Michelle a few days earlier.
Katie has been fined £415 and banned from contacting Michelle for five years.
In a victim impact statement read out in court, Michelle said she now tries to avoid Katie at all costs, and believes she's 'poisoning' the kids she has with Kieran – Jett and Bunny – against her.
'At the time, I felt awful and if there was any chance she was going to be at the school, I made arrangements for the school to bring my son out to the car,' she said.

'I am anxious that I still might see her. I rarely linger in the playground in case she might be there.'
The statement, taken on March 5, continued: 'When she contacts Kieran, she abuses me and I can hear it as she is FaceTimeing him. She berates him about why he is with me and not her.
'The constant attack is wearing me down. I've been suffering from panic attacks and I am considering counselling. I just want this to be ended and to live a normal life.'

Together again? Love Island's Megan and Wes set to rekindle romance as he signs up for Celebs Go Dating
Second time lucky?

Wes Nelson and Megan Barton Hanson
23rd National Television Awards, Arrivals, O2, London, UK – 22 Jan 2019
Love Island alumni Megan Barton-Hanson and Wes Nelson are about to experience the most awkward reunion EVER as they both sign up to Celebs Go Dating.
And, according to an insider, things could be about to get a bit awkward for the pair as they prepare to come face-to-face for the first time since ending their relationship in January.
'This is going to be pretty awkward for Megan and Wes. They haven't spoken much since they broke up, but now they're going to be reunited and it'll all be on camera,' the source revealed.
'Megan and Wes will have to see each other when the dating agency arranges matchmaking events'.
READ MORE: MEGAN OPENS UP ABOUT PLASTIC SURGERY
You might recall their relationship started to crumble when Wes signed up to Dancing on Ice back in January. And it's not like their break-up was civil…
Wes' ice partner, Vanessa Bauer, rubbed Megan up the wrong way when she announced she had split from her boyfriend on the day of her first performance with Wes – which Megan called 'tactical'.
The pair ended up having a very public feud and days later Wes and Megan split.
There were lots of tears (mainly from Love Island fans up and down the country who had been rooting for the couple) and although there was a brief spat about their pet hamster – no we're not joking – the split was said to be a 'mutual' decision.
Wes admitted he still harboured feelings for Megan, but wasn't convinced they're meant to be together.
'Of course I still love Megan,' he said. 'You can't just drop the feelings after a week of being split up, but loving someone doesn't mean that they are the right person for you.'
Megan and Wes aren't the first former couple to end up together at the Celebs Go Dating agency. Megan McKenna and Pete Wicks starred in the same series earlier this year and actually ended up burying the hatchet. Aw!
'I feel like out of this whole thing, what I've gained is a good friend,' Pete said in the Celebs Go Dating finale.
And Megan agreed, saying: 'I just never thought in a million years, that me and you [would be] in Tenerife on a rooftop bar, actually having a drink and talking nicely. I'm so glad I joined the agency at the same time as you. It feels nice.'
Could Megan and Wes end up as friends? Only time will tell.

Kylie Jenner's 15-month-old baby Stormi rushed to hospital with 'allergic reaction'
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star was very worried
Kylie Jenner and Stormi Webster on holiday
Kylie Jenner was forced to rush her baby daughter Stormi to hospital after she suffered an allergic reaction.
The 21-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardshians star took her 15 month old to the emergency room on Sunday when she suddenly fell ill.
Thankfully, Stormi has since made a full recovery and is back at home with Kylie and her dad Travis Scott.
Telling her fans what had happened, following the ordeal, Kylie shared a picture of her daughter fast asleep, writing: 'Spent the day in the hospital with my baby. She had an allergic reaction but is 100% okay now and we are home.'
She added: 'Nothing else matters when these things happen. God bless all the moms with sick babies. I'm sending so much love and positive energy your way.'
It is not yet known what caused Stormi's allergic reaction, but back in April, it was reported that Kylie's sister Kim Kardashian rushed her son Saint West to hospital with a suspected allergic reaction too.
Three-year-old Saint needed treatment after his family feared he had reacted to grass he was playing on.

Momager Kris Jenner revealed that she and Kim rushed the youngster to E.R. in Palm Springs, telling Refinery 29: 'We went to Palm Springs and Saint, my little grandson, we discovered he might be allergic to grass.
'We ended up in the E.R., but all is well, we figured it out.'
Kylie and Travis welcomed baby Stormi in February 2018 and Kylie has fully embraced her role as a doting mother – and she's even got her name tattooed on her arm.
Kylie has also been telling everyone about her baby daughter's seriously grown-up taste in food – with a love of sushi from Nobu.
Kylie said: 'Stormi loves sushi. I'll take her to Nobu … I don't feed her anything raw, but she just loves edamame. They'll bring the whole thing of edamame. She will not stop until it's all gone. She eats all the edamame.
'She'll eat a whole bowl of soy sauce rice.'

In a sweet Instagram post, he wrote: 'Makes my [heart] pump even stronger when I see these 2 (@xkatiewright & tia) out and about together on girls days out.'
Rio has three children – Lorenz, 12, Tate, 10, and eight-year-old Tia – with Rebecca and Kate will soon become their step-mum when she and Rio tie the knot.
Kate even quit TOWIE – the show which made her a household name – to live a more private family life with Rio and the children.
Speaking about joining their family, Kate said: 'If someone had told me a few year back that I was going to be the step-mum of three children, I would have just laughed.
'You don't see something like that coming.
'I fell in love with Rio, then I met the kids and fell in love with them. I realised, "Wow, my life is going to change."'
Happy birthday, Kate!

Love Island set to pay tribute to late Mike Thalassitis in new series following claims he would not be mentioned
The show will pay tribute to Mike who took his own life in March
Love Island will reportedly pay tribute to former contestant Mike Thalassitis in the upcoming series of the show, following his death earlier this year.
The late reality star took his own life in March after allegedly struggling with his mental health.
Initially, there were no plans to honour the footballer, who died aged 26, in the new season.
It was said to be intended that a tribute on ITV's on demand service would be included, within the 2017 series in which Mike appeared.
Although, after a U-turn decision, TV execs are set to give notice to Mike's tragic passing in tonight's series five launch.
MORE: Caroline Flack is 'really angry' at people blaming Love Island for Mike Thalassitis' tragic death
A Love Island insider revealed: 'Producers wanted to pay their respects to Mike and show his friends, family and fans that he was a part of the Love Island family and is missed deeply by everyone.'
Speaking to The Mirror they added: 'It is a really difficult subject but they wanted to address it rather than sweep it under the carpet or pretend it hasn't happened.'
Last year, Love Island host Caroline Flack paid an emotional accolade to ex Islander Sophie Gradon, who also took her own life, aged 32, two years after her stint in the villa.
Speaking on the Love Island spin off show, After Sun, she said: 'She was a gorgeous person both inside and out. Everyone's thoughts here at Love Island are with Sophie's friends and family at this really terrible time. Sophie we will never forget you.'
Sophie and Mike's shock suicides left many viewers calling for the dating show to improve after-care for Islanders, focussing on their mental wellbeing following their departure from the whirlwind telly experience.
As a result, an updated care system is said to be put into place for this year's contestants, which is set to include enhanced psychological support, detailed conversations with cast members about the impact the show could have on their lives plus a 'proactive aftercare package' for when the show is over.
Creative Director ITV Studios Entertainment Richard Cowles said: 'The format of the new series will be familiar to Love Island viewers and we can't wait to see how the new Islanders take to life in the villa and how relationships blossom. We hope that viewers will be hooked as they watch these young singles fall in love – hopefully it will be a summer to remember for both the Islanders and our viewers.
'Due to the success of the show our Islanders can find themselves in the public eye following their appearance. We really want to make sure they have given real consideration to this and what appearing on TV entails. Discussing all of this with us forms a big part of the casting process and, ultimately, their decision to take part.
'Also, as we are outlining today our welfare processes follow three key stages: pre-filming, filming and aftercare and we are increasing our post filming support to help Islanders following their time in villa.'

Blackfish - TV Review
'the director's clear bias against SeaWorld is genuinely difficult to argue with when presented through a film as well-crafted and researched as this'
It's clear from the very start of Gabriela Cowperthwaite's Blackfish that she has a clear agenda in creating her film. Essentially an exposé of SeaWorld and its questionable practices over the decades, Cowperthwaite's depiction of the company - and indeed marine parks in general - is comprehensively negative. It's a fact which some have used to criticise the documentary, arguing that there are two sides to every tale. But the director's clear bias against SeaWorld is genuinely difficult to argue with when presented through a film as well-crafted and researched as this.
Cowperthwaite effortlessly blends a range of archive material, news broadcasts, amateur footage, SeaWorld promotional film and beautifully shot scenes of the natural world to paint a comprehensive picture of the lives killer whales lead both in the wild and in captivity. It's an approach which, in taking in such a range of different sources and styles, could end up feeling like something of a mess; but Cowperthwaite ensures her film always comes across controlled and carefully realised.
In terms of narrative, Blackfish primarily follows the story of Tilikum, a killer whale who has spent the majority of his life at SeaWorld Orlando in Florida and has also been involved in the deaths of two SeaWorld trainers and a member of the public. Cowperthwaite's choice to focus on the most recent and apparently most widely publicized of these deaths (that of trainer Dawn Brancheau) is a smart one, skillfully ruling out any "easy" answers before plunging us into a complex investigation into Tilikum's life since his capture in the wild as a calf. The director at times shifts her focus to other killer whales involved in various incidents throughout SeaWorld's history, which at times can make Blackfish a little tricky to follow unless you're able to quickly spot the difference between one killer whale and another, but never to the point of seriously confusing either the narrative or message of her the film.
Alongside the various footage, Cowperthwaite opts for a fairly straightforward talking heads style for her interviewees. Most notable by their absence are any current SeaWorld employees (the company, we are informed, repeatedly declined to be interviewed). Providing much of the film's factual weight are an impressive array of marine biologists, animal psychologists and even some of the men tasked in the seventies with hunting down and, in their words, "kidnapping" killer whale calves from their families. Perhaps most fascinating in terms of the perspective they provide, however, are the numerous former SeaWorld killer whale trainers. All of the former trainers come across as honest and genuine, but also at regular intervals improbably naïve as to some of SeaWorld's more questionable practices. They're either likable dupes or likable liars; either way, they are unendingly watchable.
Both an emotional and genuine account of the lives of Tilikum and many other killer whales like him, and a gripping and conclusive takedown of a company which clearly both exploits the animals in its care and habitually misleads those paying money for tickets, there's a reason Blackfish has become the film SeaWorld don't want you to see. This film could end up as pivotal for SeaWorld's entertainment ventures as Super Size Me was in forcing McDonald's to change its ways. From the evidence on display in Cowperthwaite's film, let's hope that pivotal moment arrives as soon as possible.

I thought this was a very well made documentary but I don't think it hides its activism very well. That's perfectly fine and a filmmaker has every right to do that. But it seemed to obvious particularly in the way the fudged the facts in places. I think its hook is strictly emotional and it has worked.
Fine review!

RCM shows support at Pride celebrations
By Julie Griffiths on 09 July 2018 LGBT
Along with hundreds of other organisations, RCM staff members took part in the annual Pride parade in London on Saturday (7 July).
More than 500 LGBT+ parade groups marched through a very hot central London – from Portland Place to Whitehall – to celebrate diversity and the LGBT+ community.
RCM staff who took part in the parade included employment relations advisor Alice Sorby, head of organising and engagement Denise Linay and director for services to members Suzanne Tyler.
Commenting on the event, Alice said: 'Midwives marched alongside other trade unions at London Pride on Saturday braving the heat to proudly represent the RCM, and we were cheered by the crowds as we walked by wearing our RCM Pride t-shirts and waving our flags. It was a fantastic atmosphere and we are looking forward to next year already.'
This year's theme was 'Pride Matters' and centres on the findings of a report that Pride in London organisers have compiled following their Matter of pride survey 2018.
The report reveals that one in three LGBT+ people have been verbally abused because of their identity, sexuality or gender. While more than three quarters of LGBT+ people also said that they don't feel comfortable showing affection to a partner in public.
The organisers said: 'While we've come a long way in our fight for equal rights, there's still a way to go for actual equality.'

A Somber Queen's Speech Unveils A Brexit-Centric Agenda In The U.K.
By Colin Dwyer
Published June 21, 2017 at 1:21 PM EDT
Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles attend the state opening of Parliament on Wednesday in London. This year, the ceremony was scaled back, with the queen arriving by car rather than carriage and not wearing the crown or robes of state.
When Elizabeth II rolled up to the Palace of Westminster on Wednesday, she did so without many of the trappings that typically attend the Queen's Speech. Declining her traditional horse-drawn carriage, keeping the imperial crown beside her rather than atop her head and swapping the royal robes for a blue dress, the queen pointedly toned down the pomp this year.
The circumstance, however — the speech's role mapping British legislative priorities for the new parliamentary session — remained as crucial and revealing as ever. In a U.K. roiled by surprising election results, terrorist attacks and the fallout from a deadly tower blaze, the Queen's Speech offered a concrete road map of the next two years under diminished Conservative leadership.
And that road map includes a whole lot of Brexit.
Of the 27 proposed bills put forth in the speech, nearly a third pertain to the U.K.'s departure from the European Union. That includes a measure to transpose current EU laws into British laws, so as not to lose them when the country leaves the international organization, as well as bills that give the U.K. autonomy in crafting new policies in immigration, trade and agriculture.
"My Government will seek to maintain a deep and special partnership with European allies and to forge new trading relationships across the globe," the queen said in prepared remarks.
For now, details on how exactly the British government will do so remain sparse, but the speech does appear to signal preparations for a clean break with the EU.
In other respects, her speech — which is shaped by the governing party's priorities — was notable for what it left out entirely. Gone was any mention of a few controversial points in the manifesto released by Conservatives before their anemic showing at the polls earlier this month — pledges such as an expansion of grammar schools and a re-examination of a ban on fox hunting.
Another detail earned notice for its absence: In a speech that traditionally notes important state visits — this time around, it was an upcoming visit from the king and queen of Spain — there was no mention of President Trump. Upon her own visit to the White House in January, Prime Minster Theresa May had agreed with Trump that he would pay a visit to the U.K. "later this year," though that visit has received its fair share of protest among Brits.
Still, one outstanding issue did receive attention in the Palace of Westminster: Grenfell Tower. The high-rise complex suffered a deadly blaze last week in which scores of people were killed and still others were stripped of their homes.
As protesters marched on the prime minister's residence in what they called a " day of rage" — a demonstration against perceived malfeasance and government inaction — the queen announced a Conservative plan to launch a "full public inquiry into the tragic fire" in order to "ascertain the causes, and ensure that the appropriate lessons are learnt."

Protesters in London on Wednesday call for justice for the victims of the Grenfell Tower blaze. They joined other demonstrators in what they called a "day of rage" to protest perceived government inaction and neglect.
In a speech following the queen's, May apologized for how her government handled the aftermath of the tragedy.
"That was a failure of the state, local, and national, to help people when they needed it most," she said, according to The Guardian. "As prime minister I apologise for that failure, and as prime minister I've taken responsibility for doing what we can to put things right."

The Queen's Speech now heads to debate among May, Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn and other lawmakers to hash out potential amendments and eventually vote on its agenda next week.
In the meantime, onlookers both in the U.K. and abroad can content themselves that at least one of the beloved — and decidedly more eccentric — traditions of the Queen's Speech remains intact: the customary royal heckling.
For some three decades, Labour lawmaker Dennis Skinner has shouted a one-liner as the ceremony gets underway. Even amid the gravity, frustration and uncertainty surrounding this year's speech, Skinner bore the great weight of his informal duty gladly, quipping about the queen's plans to catch a horse race later that day.
"Get your skates on," he shouted, according to The Independent, "the first race is half past two."

We all know vending machines as dispensers of snacks and beverages, located almost everywhere around town and even at our offices. But advancements in technology, and new ideas have brought these unmanned vendors to the next level. Here are 10 vending machines that offer the most unbelievable things.
This line of machines by Happy Baby Vending is really helpful for parents of toddlers and infants. The machine carries diapers, wipes, formula, baby powder, snack, toys and other baby essentials. With the swipe of a credit card, every parent's life becomes easy.
The Dog-O-Matic is a vending machine that offers a full dog wash, which includes shampoo and gentle water jets, followed by a drying session with warm air. A single wash costs 25 Euros and takes 30 minutes (5 minutes for the wash and 25 for drying).
The AutoWed is a vending machine that offers a simulated wedding that includes audio prompts, a pair of rings, and even a printed marriage certificate. The two parties just type in their names and the machine declares them man and wife (for fun).
The Lobster Zone is a lot like the claw machines you are familiar with, only the prize is a live saltwater lobster instead of a teddy bear. The thermally insulated marine tank is sealed in double-paned glass, and employs a pneumatic claw capable of dipping into water.
The Bike Fixtation offers snacks but what makes it special is that it also offers spare parts for stranded bicyclists. The machine offers inner tubes, patch kits, U-locks, and all sorts of tools needed to do the job.
"Let's Pizza" vending machine saves you the time you would have to spend waiting for a pizza to be delivered. And the best part is that the pizzas are fresh. The machine stocks enough flour and tomato for 100 pizzas before a refill is required.
The Swap-O-Matic takes recycling to the next stage with an amazing concept. You bring a slightly used item to the machine to donate and the machine gives you a certain amount of points depending on the item. You can collect points and later use them to buy an item that interests you, which has been donated by someone else.
"Beautiful Vending" is a vending machine that provides a straight iron to fix your messy mop, in exchange for quarters. The ceramic tool remains sterile due to the constant heat, so hygiene is not an issue.
The Gold To Go vending machine takes a credit card swipe and gives the monetary equivalent in gold. The average user spends an estimated 400 Euros or more on each transaction with this machine.
The Espresso Book Machine lets you choose a book from an extensive list of titles and prints out a quality hard copy on the spot. Aspiring writers can bring a PDF file of their work to the machine and get an instant, bound copy of their work for sharing.
