The Most Meaningful Literature, Entertainment and Art of 2016
From a graphic novel penned by a congressman to a tome on modern tribalism, these are the works that challenged and inspired us this year.
In a late-night victory speech, President-elect Donald Trump called his base "the forgotten men and women of our country," and he promised they "will be forgotten no longer." His line embodied the spirit of 2016: This was the year that nationwide events put a spotlight on plights that can no longer be overlooked. Beyond Trump's core base of white working-class voters, there was an assortment of marginalized communities making headlines, from the gay Latinos targeted at an Orlando nightclub to the black men confronted by police in Baton Rouge and suburban St. Paul; from indigenous peoples protesting a pipeline in the Dakotas to those fleeing climate change in Alaska and Louisiana; and from hijab-wearing victims of hate crimes to unemployed veterans.
But it wasn't all doom and gloom, because where there is strife there is also powerful art to make sense of it. And 2016's collection of books, movies, TV, plays, music and other works was no different, helping us see these groups, to understand their grievances and develop a response. After polling our staff, here is the art that most moved us at NationSwell in 2016.
Nonfiction: "Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging" by Sebastian Junger
Why do we, in modern society, no longer share the sense of community that our species relied on for most of its existence? To answer this question, journalist Sebastian Junger delved into recent times when we've acted like our old tribal selves, whether that was cities responding to disaster or soldiers forming a tight-knit platoon.
Honorable Mentions: "Sing for Your Life: A Story of Race, Music, and Family" by Daniel Bergner; "Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis" by J.D. Vance; "How to Survive a Plague: The Inside Story of How Citizens and Science Tamed AIDS" by David France
Essay Collection: "The Hour of Land: A Personal Topography of America's National Parks" by Terry Tempest Williams
Perfectly timed for the park service's centennial, the author and environmentalist Terry Tempest Williams writes about a dozen different national parks, from reminiscing about family trips to the Grand Tetons to reporting on the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill's effect on the Gulf Islands National Seashore, among others. As global temperatures rise, this volume proves why America's wild spaces are so important.
Honorable Mentions: "Shrill: Notes From a Loud Woman" by Lindy West; "We Gon' Be Alright: Notes on Race and Resegregation" by Jeff Chang
Graphic Novel: "March: Book Three" by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin and Nate Powell
Rep. John Lewis is the last living speaker from the 1963 March on Washington, the rally where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his renowned "I Have a Dream" speech. In this final, epic installment of a three-part graphic memoir, the civil rights icon recalls the KKK's bombing of a Baptist church in Birmingham, his beating by police on the bridge from Selma to Montgomery and the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
Honorable Mention: "The White Donkey: Terminal Lance" by Maximilian Uriarte
Movie: "Moonlight"
Bathed in cool blues, this beautiful film follows Chiron, a gay black boy reared by a crack-addicted mother in Miami's housing projects, over the course of his youth: from a silent child who seeks comfort from the neighborhood drug dealer to a high schooler coming to terms with his sexuality. Based on a semi-autobiographical script by Tarell Alvin McCraney, the movie depicts a narrative that rarely makes it onto movie screens.
Honorable Mentions: "Loving"; "Deepwater Horizon"
Documentary: "The 13th"
The 13th Amendment reads, "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime … shall exist within the United States." In other words, the 1865 amendment outlawed slavery for every group but convicts. As Ava DuVernay, the director of "Selma," shows in this searing film, African-Americans remain overrepresented in the nation's prisons due to a string of deliberate policy choices that effectively shackled a race.
Honorable Mentions: "Newtown"; "City of Gold"
TV: "Orange Is the New Black"
The Netflix original about the women locked up at Litchfield has always been a favorite of ours, but the tragic fourth season elevated this series' importance. Culminating in a (spoiler!) revolt by the inmates and the guards' devastating response, the show manages to tackle the worst elements of mass incarceration — overcrowding, mental illness, solitary confinement, rape, race relations — with honesty and its signature humor.
Honorable Mentions: "Black Mirror;" "Lady Dynamite"
Album: "Coloring Book" by Chance the Rapper
Combining gospel choir hymns with lines of verse, Chance the Rapper's mixtape overlays two black musical traditions, remixing faith into song with a dash of social activism. On the song "Angels," Chance raps about making Chicago's streets safer for his infant daughter. (He's not all talk, either; the musician has organized coat drives, led a voter-registration drive and launched a social media campaign that resulted in 42 hours of no reported shootings in his hometown.)
Honorable Mentions: "We Got It from Here… Thank You 4 Your Service" by A Tribe Called Quest; "4 Your Eyez Only" by J. Cole; "Lemonade" by Beyoncé
Podcast: The Axe Files
David Axelrod, the chief strategist for Obama's presidential campaigns, has interviewed more than 100 of the nation's key political players, with folks like Sen. Tim Kaine, former Gov. Deval Patrick and former FCC chair Newtown Minow. Scuttling partisan sound-bites, the hour-long conversations focus on how decision-makers' pasts shaped their worldview.
Honorable Mentions: This American Life; Presidential; 2 Dope Queens
Art Exhibition: Kerry James Marshall: Mastry
The Birmingham-born painter Kerry James Marshall's breakout picture was a crudely rendered portrait of an African-American artist: a literal black shadow of a man whose figure barely emerges from the dark background. It's a reflection of blacks' place in art history: hardly visible. The 77 images in this collection, which originated at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, make a valiant attempt to revise history, showing the black experience in settings like barbershops and housing projects. With these works, Marshall proves himself a worthy addition to the canon of "master" figurative painters.
Honorable Mentions: Human Interest at the Whitney Museum of American Art; Once Something Has Lived It Can Never Really Die at the American Folk Art Museum
Play: Notes From the Field by Anna Deavere Smith
Anna Deavere Smith has pioneered a form of investigative theater: She records interviews, then acts out the conversation verbatim onstage. In her latest, a tough look into the school-to-prison pipeline, she proposes that we live in an "epic moment," in which the deaths of African-Americans at the hands of police (as in Baltimore) and a white supremacist (in Charleston) afford a unique opportunity to redirect America's investment in incarceration to education.
Honorable Mentions: The Gabriels: An Election Year in the Life of One Family by Richard Nelson; "Sweat" by Lynn Nottage
Let's fix this country together.

From Mawson's huts in Antarctica to suburban homes in the Top End, Troppo architects has worked across Australia's states and territories in some of the most extreme conditions. This week, Troppo founders Adrian Welke and Phil Harris travelled to Tasmania to bask in the spotlight's warm glow - as recipients of the Australian Institute of Architects' highest award, the gold medal.
Since it was founded in Darwin in 1980, Troppo's achievements include major public works like the Wild Sea exhibit at the Melbourne Zoo. The Bowali Visitors Centre in Kakadu - a collaboration with Pritzker prizewinner Glenn Murcutt - won the 1994 Sir Zelman Cowen Award for Public Buildings. And in 2010 in Paris, Troppo received the Global Sustainable Architecture Award.
Yet, says Harris, ''we're most proud of the small and humble work we do. It's the jigsaw of building humble projects that's challenging.''
In Victoria's Otways they designed a retreat made of lightweight materials that could be walked into the remote location. ''Everything had to be transportable by two people and erected quickly and potentially dissembled,'' Harris says. ''The prefabricated lightweight steel frame is clad in Danpalon, an alternative to glass which is heat reflective and 85 per cent as efficient as double glazing.''
While welcoming new construction techniques, Troppo keeps returning to its signature ''simple, open structures'' using richly textured Australian timbers and steel that tell stories of place. Incorporating traditional passive design principles for heating and cooling, its ''post-and-beam'' approach uses ''screens'' to provide privacy, acoustics or thermal insulation, and frame views.
''We still love making buildings that have that potential through their clear framing,'' says Harris. ''It's really a Japanese approach to architecture.''
Indigenous culture too casts a profound influence on the practice's ecological view, Harris says. ''When we work on a residential site we're thinking about the whole site, we're not thinking of designing a building. Our work is about connecting with the great outdoors, which means developing an empathy with the environment. If we lock ourselves away from nature, we'll never develop an ecological view.''
For all the buildings' open, relaxed, informality they are dynamic and highly responsive to the seasons.
''With climate change that's increasingly important because we get the hot and cold days not when we are accustomed to expect them,'' says Harris. ''The old rules of thumb, like a static line that you set your eaves to for winter solar ingress and summer solar exclusion, are increasingly not working down south. As Glenn Murcutt would put it, 'If you can trim your house like a yacht, you should'.''
Planting deciduous trees on the north side of the house is also an affordable way to warm and cool the dwelling, while looking ''magical'' as the seasons change. But the ''biggest bang for the buck'' is putting money into the systems like bi-fold doors that open and close and adjust for the seasons.
''The difference between having glass between you and the outside and having nothing is quite marketable. It feels so luxurious when you are able to pull a wall back.''
Ironically just as their inventive approach to architecture is recognised with the AIA's highest accolade, Harris believes residential building codes are becoming less creative.
To reduce our nation's greenhouse gas emissions the prevailing codes ''come up with this answer which is basically that the ideal house is an esky, heavily insulated, and sealed with minimum openings,'' says Harris.
''It means you can't do a 'breathe easy' tropical house. Good old tropical houses, almost without walls, are impossible.''
The same problem holds in southern Australia. ''We live in this climate … gorgeously temperate but, according to the [building code] energy-efficiency provisions, you're not actually meant to interrelate with it.''
A further irony is that when the pair arrived in Darwin in 1978 the city was still traumatised by Cyclone Tracy four years earlier. Creating bunkers was seen as the best defence against natural disaster - a bunker-style architecture that Troppo rebelled against and Harris sees Australia retreating to once again.

I have two accounts tied to my new Galaxy S2, for my Exchange account it works fine, but on my pop account every day it sees the 25 items in my inbox that have alraedy been read and shows them all as unread mail items.
I have logged into my webmail and made sure that all of the items are marked read in the inbox but every day this seems to happen. Anyone have any ideas what is causing this?

Yuck, POP. It sounds like it's bugged. Can you use IMAP or better yet, have Gmail check the account for you?

Yuck, POP. It sounds like it's bugged. Can you use IMAP or better yet, have Gmail check the account for you?
Dec 15, 2011 at 8:31 UTC
Not sure, but our pop users from groupwise have the same issue with Blackberry's. I think, at least in our case, the popping is a one way communication with the handheld. A copy of the email is sent to the handheld, but the original is still sitting on the server and it does not know what has been done with the copy of the email. We now use a Mobility Server, which fixes Droids, Iphones, etc, but not Blackberry's who still pop and have the same issue. Not a solution, but I don't think it's a problem specific to you, but rather with the popping.
Dec 15, 2011 at 8:49 UTC
Generally speaking, POP can be problematic if you're leaving email on the server or want to access it from more than one client.
Dec 15, 2011 at 8:52 UTC
Switched it over to IMAP and it seems to be seeing them as read. Thanks.

It's useful to help protective parts understand unintended consequences and persuade them to stop blocking awareness. I offer a combination of in-person and tele-health sessions."

Teamwork is an important component in making therapy successful."

Fund Compassion receives donated medical supplies unavailable in Kyrgyzstan
Fri, Jun 22, 2012
The baby in the woman's lap just hours before a surgery that implanted one of the donated neurological shunts.
In December 2011, the Social Charity Fund Compassion, a charity Lutheran organization founded in Bishkek by the LCMS in 1999, received from the Integra Life Sciences Foundation,USA, 50 neurological shunts for the Neurosurgery Department of the National Center of Maternity and Childhood Protection. The project was initiated and facilitated by the Orphan Grain Train, an American Lutheran organization with which the Public Fund Compassion has been having a fruitful cooperation for years.
It is impossible to overestimate the importance of these shunts for children suffering from hydrocephaly, also known as "water in the brain". The shunts enable the children to live "normally". The neurological shunts are neither produced nor officially imported to the Republic, where 34% of the population lives below the poverty line, which is $450 per head per year, and very few families having children sick with hydrocephaly can afford buying a shunt at the cost of $700 to $1600. In 2010, 50 shunts were also donated. These two donations fully satisfied the needs of the Kyrgyz Health Care in neurological shunts for 2 years.
- Pray for the children who will received the neurological shunts.
- Support the projects of the Fund Compassion in Kyrgyzstan.

The first page of Joel C. Rosenberg's first thriller, The Last Jihad, put listeners inside the cockpit of a hijacked jet, coming in on a kamikaze attack into an American city...but it was written nine months before September 11, 2001. As Jihad unfolds, an American president finds himself in a war with Saddam Hussein over terrorism and weapons of mass destruction...but it was published five months before the actual war with Iraq began.Rosenberg's second novel, The Last Days, opens with the death of Yasser Arafat and an American president pressing for peace in the Middle East...but it was published 13 months before the actual death of Yasser Arafat.Now comes The Ezekiel Option, an explosive new political thriller that literally feels ripped from tomorrow's headlines. With Saddam Hussein and Yasser Arafat out of the way, a dazzling era of security and prosperity seems to have come to the Middle East. With the help of an American president trying to spread freedom and democracy, the Israelis and the Palestinians have signed a historic peace agreement. Violence is down. Their economies are booming.But a new evil looms on the horizon. A dictator is rising in Russia. Iran is feverishly building nuclear weapons. A new Axis of Evil is emerging, led by Moscow and Tehran. And Jon Bennett and Erin McCoy - two senior White House advisors - find themselves facing the most chilling question of their lives: Is the world rushing to the brink of an apocalypse prophesied more than 2,500 years ago?More

By: Simon Hailwood(Author)
Many environmental scientists, scholars and activists characterise our situation as one of alienation from nature, but this notion can easily seem meaningless or irrational. In Alienation and Nature in Environmental Philosophy, Simon Hailwood critically analyses the idea of alienation from nature and argues that it can be a useful notion when understood pluralistically. He distinguishes different senses of alienation from nature pertaining to different environmental contexts and concerns, and draws upon a range of philosophical and environmental ideas and themes including pragmatism, eco-phenomenology, climate change, ecological justice, Marxism and critical theory. His novel perspective shows that different environmental concerns – both anthropocentric and non-anthropocentric – can dovetail with rather than compete with each other, and that our alienation from nature need not be something to be regretted or overcome. His book will interest a broad readership in environmental philosophy and ethics, political philosophy, geography and environmental studies.

On the engine front, the Mercedes-Maybach SUV could be offered with a 4.0-litre twin turbocharged petrol engine, while a V12 is also a possibility. Stay tuned as we will keep you updated about Mercedes-Maybach's new SUV.

Synopsis for "Bloodvine"
Chuma has poisoned Wonder Woman. As she lies paralyzed before him, he regals her with the tale of his mistress's origin. Years ago, he met Barbara Minerva and told her the legend of the planet god Urzkartaga and his bride the Cheetah goddess. Through the course of the tale, Barbara learned about the human sacrifice and the consumption of the Blood Vine - both of which were necessary to gain the Cat goddess' power of immortality. Barbara held Chuma at gunpoint and forced to perform the ritual on her. In order to satisfy the blood sacrifice, Barbara killed one of her own soldiers Tom Leavens. As the moon rose, Barbara transformed into the Cheetah. However, the ritual produced an unexpected side effect. By the light of day when her powers faded, her health began to deteriorate. Only during the nights of the full moon would she gain the power and vitality of the Cheetah. As Chuma concludes his tale, Wonder Woman springs forward. She had faked the symptoms of being poisoned in order to bide her time. Now at full health, she flies off in search of the Cheetah. Arriving at an Egyptian mosque, she is shocked to find several warriors surrounding her. More surprising is the fact that these warriors appear to be Amazons.

Build your vocabulary with Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day! Each day a Merriam-Webster editor offers insight into a fascinating new word -- explaining its meaning, current use, and little-known details about its origin.
January 24th, 2015
Episode 86 of 923 episodes
Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 24, 2015 is: evitable \EV-uh-tuh-bul\ adjective : capable of being avoided Examples: The investigator determined that the accident was certainly evitable and would not have happened if the driver hadn't been negligent. "Books, journals, conventions, and electronic networks have made provincial isolation easily evitable." James Sledd, English Journal, November 1994 Did you know? British author T. S. Eliot once gave a lecture at Trinity College (Cambridge, England) in which he spoke about "the disintegration of the intellect" in 19th century Europe, saying, "The 'disintegration' of which I speak may be evitable or inevitable, good or bad; to draw its optimistic or pessimistic conclusions is an occupation for prophets . . . of whom I am not one." Evitable, though not common, has been in English since the beginning of the 16th century; it's often found paired with its opposite, inevitable, as in Eliot's passage as well as in this self-reflection by Liverpool Echo writer Gary Bainbridge in March of 2014: "I have been thinking about my inevitable death, and decided I would like to make it a bit more evitable." Both words were borrowed from similar Latin adjectives, which in turn are based on the verb evitare, which means "to avoid."

This is a group for those seeking to improve themselves as men in Philadelphia and the surrounding area. Members are encouraged to talk about anything dealing with the city; Best Barbershop, Hat Stores, Best Tailors, etc, and of course cheessteaks!
Location: Philadelphia, PA
Members: 22

A lot of my friends, especially those from down south, don't like the city. They say everyone is rude and brash, that we are always in a hurry. That the city is dirty and that our sports teams are…Continue
I'd be up for a meetup.
Hey Brad. I'm not sure how many Philly-area guys are still around. Might be just us for all I know. Lets see if anyone else chimes in.
I really don't have any time to hang out until after June 4.
Anybody still following this group? Any interest in a meet-up?
Since I haven't gotten any confirmations from anyone here about lunch tomorrow, I'm gonna call it off and try again in the fall.
Are any of you guys still interested in meeting for lunch on August 15? Let me know. Feel free to friend/PM me.
It looks like Center City is going to work best geographically. I'll suggest lunch on any of the following dates:
Saturday, June 13 @ 1 p.m.
Saturday, July 25 @ noon
Saturday, August 15 @ noon
There is a moderately priced Irish pub called Fado in the center of town with plenty of parking within less than a block (not free) at 1500 Locust St., and both indoor and outdoor seating: http://www.fadoirishpub.com/philadelphia/
Let me know what you guys think.
"Easy to get to" pretty much rules out Center City due to traffic and parking. Where are you located, David?
I'm a little further away-- Princeton area-- but would consider coming into Philly for a meet-up.
Sure. I'd be up for coffee or lunch sometime. I've met with a couple of local AoM members over the years. I live at the far northern edge of Bucks County, and travel to Philly often.

Just returned after 4 nights in this wonderful Venetian hotel. Everything about it was perfection.
Firstly the location - overlooking the Grand Canal with a view of the Rialto 100 yards to your left and directly opposite the Market. To sit on the small terrace eating one's breakfast, having an early evening beer or (most magical of all) a final drink before retiring to bed was a wonderful experience never to be forgotten.
Secondly the warmth and friendliness of all the staff. Matteo, the owner has clearly trained his staff really well, nothing was too much trouble and I liked the personal touch of them talking and greeting you on first name terms, like a good friend. The recommendations for restaurants close by were also invaluable and excellent choices. Also the fact that their are only 9 rooms in the hotel meant that you felt part of a small privileged community.
Thirdly the cleanliness and high quality of the fixtures and fittings were all of the best standard.
It is of course not cheap but nevertheless even at €300 per night you get real value for money and you will experience a never to forgotten stay. It is quite simply the best hotel I have ever stayed in.

Whatifsports.com looks at the results of 10,000 simulations of the NHL Playoffs
This article can also be found here.
With its super computer on a roll after correctly picking the NCAA tournament championship game, Whatifsports.com now focuses on hockey. Just as we did with the tournament, we have simulated the Stanley Cup Playoffs 10,000 times in order to determine the exact likelihood of each of the 16 teams an making it to any level. There may not be any surprises at the top in this analysis; but, then again, we only gave Anaheim a one-in-fifteen shot at winning it all last season (actual runner-up Ottawa was our favorite by winning the cup more than a third of the time).
Thorough results of the simulations can be found at BracketPreview.com. A recap of some of the more interesting points is below, but we encourage you to check out the Bracket Preview page to see it all.
Two upsets by seed are predicted as likely in this analysis. One of the scenarios should not come as much of a surprise. Philadelphia finished the season with more points than Capitals, yet the Capitals got the third seed and home ice advantage based on their Southeast Division win. Phildadelphia advances 58.3% of the time in what is typically a seven game series. That's about as exciting as it will get for Philly. After the first round, due to the NHL's playoff re-seeding, the Flyers will likely face two seeded Montreal. Elsewhere in the East, in-state rival Penguins plays a team that underachieved this season in Ottawa. While Pittsburgh actually has the lower chance to make it to the Conference Semis (54.2%), the Penguins are the most likely team to meet Montreal in the finals at 35.8%. The Flyers only get to that level 18.9% of the time.
In the other likely "upset", the fifth seeded Dallas Stars could be the surprise team of the playoffs. In the first round, the very experienced Stars, who picked up former Lightning Center Brad Richards at the trade deadline, start with a six game series win over the defending champion Anaheim Ducks. In the sim, Dallas wins an astounding 67.3% of its first round series. Assuming no other first round upsets in the West, Dallas will almost assuredly face the vaunted Detroit Red Wings. As we will discuss next, Detroit is the most dominant team in the league. However, if the Red Wings slip up, Dallas is the most likely beneficiary. Even though they could play the overall favorite in the second round, the simulation has Dallas as the third most likely champion at 11.0%. Probably because of all of the re-seeding scenarios, Dallas has a better chance at making the Wester Conference Finals (40.2%) than does San Jose (32.6%). No other team outside of the two number one seeds has a greater than five percent chance of winning it all.
Ultimately though, the WhatIfSports.com NHL bracket concludes with the better seeded teams on top. Mathematical simulation often comes down to exploiting obvious weaknesses. Detroit, and its balanced team with two great goaltenders, has no obvious weaknesses. The Red Wings have the highest chance of winning the tournament at 51.1%. This means that Detroit is slightly more likely to win than the proverbial "field." After the Red Wings, only two teams, Montreal (13.5%) and Dallas are in the double-digit percentages. After the top three, everything is essentially up for grabs. The very young, yet extremely talented Pittsburgh Penguins are next at 4.9%. They are followed by San Jose (4.3%), New Jersey (4.1%) and Ottawa (2.9%). Every team wins the Cup at least 0.1% of the time - or at least 10 out of 10,000 tries.
Once the Stanley Cup Finals are set, Beyond the Box Score will have an in-depth feature with boxscores, play-by-play and game recaps for each game of the series.
Whatifsports.com specializes in answering the great "What If?" questions in sports by simulating games between historical teams in professional basketball, football, baseball and hockey, or college football and basketball.

The things people can make with 3D printers never ceases to amaze me. This Nightingale Bow from Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim by Marco Antonio Pérez Morata is a perfect example.
Using the popular design software SolidWorks, Morata created the model concept in about eight hours and then printed 12 pieces with a MakerBot Replicator 2 3D printer.
He explains to 3D Print it took 58 hours to complete the printing process.
"I split the model up so that it would require very little post processing. It is split up like a jigsaw so that you can take it straight from the print bed and assemble the pieces. I split the bow in half as not to lose too much detail, but kept the two end pieces as one to give the model more rigidity. I did end up gluing the two halves together just to ensure a solid build."
Check out more pics after the break.
Perhaps the coolest feature of this incredible build is that the string is 3D printed as well. In lieu of real string, Morata used flexible NinjaFlex filament that he believes would actually be capable of shooting an arrow.
It may not be the most effective weapon for a Dragonborn, but it beats smithing.
Design files for the bow are available for download on MyMiniFactory.

Just a word of advice, though. Drink these energy drinks in moderation. Even though the label states to limit 3 cans per day.. just drink 1. Really, you'll feel a lot better drinking one for the day instead of going all out and chugging half the case. There is 80mg of caffeine per serving, 160mg if you drink the entire 16oz can. If you really need two, spread them out hours apart.. one in the morning, and one in the afternoon. The maximum caffeine any person should take in a day is 300mg, but try to keep it at 200mg and lower at most occasions. And if you can, drink one every 2-3 days.. be strong of yourself and avoid the addiction of caffeine this product brings you. This way, you can still enjoy the biggest, baddest energy drink on the planet without risking you with health effects that occur when taken in excess.
By far one of my favorite energy drinks to have and this is my favorite monster flavor you can't go wrong with the original it has a taste that just makes you want more of it but if you are to drink it do not drink to many within one day and don't drink one every single day because if can Cas you problems and you might want to talk to your doctor and let them know that you have been and ask about the risks and side affects later on in the long run
These taste great so every great once in a while i will have one. i know they aren't good for you but they taste really good. they don't really give me energy and i think if they made them less bad for people it they may be better recommended. i think they taste great but i think consumers should be aware of the effects this product can have on a person before they buy one and try it.
Thank goodness for this stuff. I have to work sixteen hour shifts at least once a week and sometimes I only have 8 hrs between shifts. Just as effective as a pricier energy drink. I don't advise people to drink these or any energy drinks but if you don't really have a choice and coffee just isn't enough to keep you going, they definitely do the job and have helped me keep my job.
It's hard for me to find something that helps keep me awake when I have trouble sleeping the night before. I love how effective monster energy is and how great it tastes! Not expensive and also comes In 4 and 10 packs for a better deal. Crisp refreshing taste and gives that extra pick me up you need to get through the day! Highly recommend this product to tired people everywhere.
I do not like the taste of these, but I know so many people that are absolutely hooked on them. It give them the energy that they need. Don't drink too many in one day though, sometimes people get the shakes. Health wise I don't think that it's that great either, but a lot of people have replaced their coffee with this or use it as a mixer, I just couldn't get into it.
These taste like you are drinking straight sugar with some artificial flavor. I don't like them at all, I would much rather have a cup of coffee or try a different energy drink. I also think they are not the healthiest choice and not good for your teeth either. Plus when I have had to power through one I didn't feel awake or energized afterwards.
The original green Monster the best in taste. They are a little high in price, but there are deals around every corner. It's a very strong sweet taste that may take a few sips before approval. Energy drinks aren't for everyone and should be consumed with knowledge. If you aren't an every day caffeine/sugar person it probably isn't right for you.
Almost everyone has tried a Monster Energy drink, but if you haven't yet, I definitely recommend it! The flavor is very unique and also very delicious, in my opinion! They are a bit pricey, but they are a great treat, especially when you need a kick of energy! (: You can find them at your nearest convenient store or just about anywhere.
i will drink one sometimes but i go for mean bean or loca moca. i like them but only cold. my expectations were met but i was ruined by its coffee/ chocolate counterparts though.lol i love the packaging and there cans looks it's actually a big part of the appeal it has. i would recommend this to you if you already drink energy drinks.
Whats your favorite kind of Monster?
Is this drink any good? I don't really drink them but I really need a pick me up.
Have you made any good drink recipes with monster? If so what if your favorite one?
Is this product good for you if you drink it on a regular daily basis??
Why does Monster drink cause me to have heart rating pumping fast. ?

How does EFS work?
EFS works based on the principle of producing an emulsified fuel that creates a secondary atomisation effect after the primary injection process, by adding water into the fuel. The secondary atomisation effect creates even smaller fuel droplets after injection. This significantly improves the combustion of the fuel inside engine cylinders as more total surface area of the fuel is exposed to combustion inside the engine. The secondary atomization process is illustrated in the picture below.
What are the requirements of engine for EFS?
Blue Ocean Solutions focuses only on marine diesel engines. EFS is compatible with both slow speed and medium speed marine diesel engines. EFS works on both new and old engines as the secondary atomization effect is independent of the age of engines. Moreover, EFS is installed in the fuel oil service system of the engines. So there is no modifications or adjustments needed to the engines.
How much space is needed for EFS?
The emulsified fuel system comprises of three main modules, namely: emulsifier module, water controller module and EFS signal box. The following are the sizes of the footprint of the modules:
– Emulsifier module (min/max): 0.5 x 1m / 1 x 2m
– Water controller module (min/max): 0.7 x 1m / 1 x 2m
– Signal box: 0.15 x 0.2m
The actual size may vary and can be customised according to the engine room arrangement.
What type of fuels can be used with EFS?
EFS can be used with HFO, MGO and MDO with confirmed and proven fuel savings. There is no use of chemical additives. The additional benefits of running MGO with EFS is higher viscosity and the cooling effect of water. There is no need for a cooler.
Does EFS use any additives?
There is no use of any chemical additives
How are we different from other systems?
BOS Emulsifier was developed after extensive research, specifically for producing optimal water-in-fuel emulsions for achieving the best fuel savings. The non-dimensional emulsifier model (patented) was developed to ensure that BOS emulsifier can be scaled to meet the fuel flow range of any ships.
Other emulsifiers in the market make use of one of the following methods of emulsification.
- Mechanical shearing/ homogeniser
- Cavitation
- Ultra-sonic vibration
All of the above methods have the following drawbacks:
- Rapid performance deterioration due to wear of parts in the marine environment.
- Unreliability because of the above reasons.
- In addition to that, they continuously break the water-in-fuel particles in the re-circulated fuel to nano-sized water particles which do not create the secondary explosion effect. Too small water-in-fuel particles do not have enough energy to produce the desired explosive effect.
In summary, the innovative features that differentiate BOS Emulsifier from others are:
- Produces optimal water-in-fuel emulsion to create the secondary atomisation effect that improves combustion
- No moving parts
- Designed for reliability and easy maintenance
- Produces emulsified fuel on demand for immediate consumption. Hence, no storage of emulsified fuel is needed. (Storage of emulsified fuel may cause biological corrosion due to growth of biological microbes)
- Re-emulsifies re-circulated water and fuel to the same optimal emulsified fuel
- Can be scaled to produce optimal emulsified fuel for ships of any sizes.

"Some of the most irresponsible comments have, of course, come from politicians who actually voted in favor of authorizing force against Saddam Hussein," Cheney told the Frontiers of Freedom Institute, a conservative policy group.
Cheney's attack was part of a GOP effort to push back against criticism on Iraq. President Bush has made two speeches in recent days that painted Democrats as hypocrites for criticizing the Iraq war after earlier supporting the idea that Saddam should go. On Tuesday, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld joined the offensive, singling out Democrats who in the past had depicted Saddam as a threat with weapons of mass destruction, including former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
The Republican National Committee also posted on its Web site a video compilation of past statements by prominent Democrats — including several 2008 presidential hopefuls — supporting a hard line against Saddam.
"These are elected officials who had access to the intelligence, and were free to draw their own conclusions. They arrived at the same judgment about Iraq's capabilities and intentions that was made by this administration and by the previous administration," Cheney said.
He said there was "broad-based, bipartisan agreement that Saddam Hussein was a threat, that he had violated U.N. Security Council Resolutions" and had weapons of mass destruction.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the vice president was "playing politics like he's in the middle of a presidential campaign."
"I would urge the members of the Bush administration to stop trying to resurrect their political standing by lashing out at their critics," he said. "Instead, they need to focus on the job at hand, giving our troops a strategy for success in Iraq."
Democrats have said they got their information on U.S. intelligence assessments about Saddam's regime from the administration and suggested that top administration figures — including Cheney, a staunch advocate of toppling Saddam — manipulated that intelligence to make a stronger case for invasion.
In October 2002, the Senate voted 77 to 23 to give Mr. Bush the authority to invade Iraq. The House approved the measure on a 296-133 vote.
In the Senate, 29 Democrats voted for the measure, including Sens. John Kerry of Massachusetts, John Edwards of North Carolina and Hillary Clinton of New York.
Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee and Edwards, his running mate, have since reversed their stand and voiced opposition to the decision to go to war. Clinton has remained supportive of the president on Iraq.
"What we're hearing now is some politicians contradicting their own statements and making a play for political advantage in the middle of a war," Cheney said in his speech at the Frontiers of Freedom Institute's 2005 Ronald Reagan gala.
"The saddest part is that our people in uniform have been subjected to these cynical and pernicious falsehoods day in and day out," he said.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/4/2013 (1595 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Politicians might not like it, but the issue of assisted suicide is back on the public agenda thanks to Winnipegger Susan Griffiths.
As many as four out of five Canadians agree it should be legal, but assisted suicide remains an issue in which the relatively few opponents would vehemently fight any move to make it legal.
The issue, which has been explored extensively in previous cases involving Sue Rodriguez and Gloria Taylor, has risen again like a political Lazarus because of Griffiths, 72. She made local and then national headlines earlier this week when she said her terminal diagnosis forced her to go to Switzerland, where she can die legally.
Griffiths, who was diagnosed last year with a rare brain disorder, multiple system atrophy, has said she wants to die now when she can have, in her words, "a peaceful and painless end," instead of from her illness, which is incurable and terminal.
Mario Canseco, vice-president of Angus Reid Public Opinion, said Wednesday he doesn't think anything has changed since his company's poll last year that showed 80 per cent of Canadians support having a doctor, when asked by a "competent, fully-informed, terminally ill patient," assist the person in ending their life.
And Canseco said it doesn't surprise him the Harper government has announced it is not reopening a debate on the issue.
"The Conservatives don't want to touch this," Canseco said.
"It's a tough one. Even in Britain when there was a Labour government, there was no movement.
"It would be a humungous surprise if the Conservatives did."
Canseco said even for an issue with so much support, politicians still think there could be unexpected pitfalls.
"This government looks at everything from an electoral way so it just wants to focus on economic management."
But John Wright, a pollster with Ipsos Public Affairs, said it isn't an issue government can avoid forever.
"We have more people over 50 now and there will continue to be growing pressure for things to change so human beings don't have to live through a torturous period," Wright said.
"We're going to be forced into a debate because of the growing wave of the population. I can see it coming and we all can."
People representing organizations that work with people living with disabilities have already said they disagree with reopening debate on assisted suicide.
As well, Mary Ellen Douglas, national organizer of the Campaign Life Coalition, said both now and in future her organization will fight any change to federal laws to allow assisted suicide.
"Hopefully our government will not open this again," Douglas said.
"People who feel this way need compassionate care and help. With many people, it is the pain people are worried about and pain can be controlled."
Scott MacKay, president of Probe Research, said while he has never done a poll on the issue, he knows Griffiths has been successful in one area: "This has forced the issue back onto the public agenda."
Columnist Lindor Reynolds and photojournalist Ruth Bonneville were with Susan Griffiths and her family during her last week in Winnipeg. Read Saturday's FYI for the full story of Griffiths' decision to die and the anguish that led her there.

Elite League: Nottingham Panthers top after shootout success over Cardiff Devils
Nottingham have moved to the top of the Elite League table following a 3-2 penalty shootout success over Cardiff.
Last Updated: 09/12/12 9:02am
The Panthers outshot the Devils 14-5 in the opening period, however, they could not find a way past goaltender Phil Oaser
The Devils opened the scoring 11 seconds in the second period courtesy of Stuart MacRae's short-handed goal.
Pat Galivan equalised two minutes later but the Devils bagged their second short-handed goal when Mac Faulkner netted.
Guillaume Lepine levelled for the Panthers once again before the end of the second and neither side could find a winner in the third.
The Panthers claimed the extra point in the shootout when Matt Francis scored only for McRae to miss for the Devils.

Shraddha Kapoor will be seen singing all her songs for her upcoming film Rock On 2.
Shraddha Kapoor
A source says, "Shraddha has agreed to sing all her songs in Rock On 2. However she was not too keen to lend her voice for herself on screen. She likes singing ,as music runs in her family but she was skeptical of singing all songs.
She was fine with singing a one or two numbers. But her co-star and one of the makers of the film Farhan Akhtar convinced her and told her that it would be necessary for her to sing as it will look real and authentic and she agreed."

Throgg turned the Mandible of Beth'tilac over in his hands. "It's a jawbone! You brought me a flaming jawbone. That is very kind welcome home gift," the orc said thoughtfully. "What it do?"
"The fire is the enchantment, admittedly. It's mostly just a mandible with duct tape." Lolegolas sat on a chair, carefully sitting on his hands to cover the shakes. The trembling was getting bad, but he didn't want the recovering orc to see. "It's for tanking, I'm pretty sure. It's angled well to help you dodge blows and such."
"And it flames! I can yell 'Flame on!' instead of 'Throgg smash!' It will be fun. When are we going to the flaming lands?"
"Firelands," Lolegolas said. "Maybe next week, after we get a little more rest. The worgen's out fishing up some food now, and we can probably find an expedition easily."
"Flame on!" Throgg said, wielding the mandible. "The flaming duo returns!"
