The Siren of Paris - Opening Excerpt
"May the Lord be with you," the priest's voice rang out to all gathered at Marc's graveside in September 1967. The cloaked man stood taller than all others gathered, with the hood of his smock pulled over his head. He held in his right hand a staff with a round clock mounted on top. Marc stood beyond the gathering, gazing back upon his grave. He saw his only sister, Elda, surrounded by all his other friends from France. The body of his soul beamed a reddish-golden light, as he anticipated the final moment he would leave in peace. He strained to see the face of the priest obscured from view under the hood.
"And also with you," Marc whispered, looking toward the release from his life. "Let us pray," the priest asked softly. With a rush, the first eleven souls then appeared around him. They had come from the graveyards of Angoulins-sur-Mer, Les Fortes, Saint-Charles-de-Percy, Saint-Clément-des-Baleines, Saint-Palais-sur-Mer, Chatelaillon- Plage, Saint-Sever, Traize, Brest, Saint-Hilaire-de-Talmont and Saint Pancras. They wore drab olive-green uniforms, with kit bags ready for war, but they were soaked to the bone and only a few had boots. The dial on the clock stopped as a moment of Marc's life flashed before him ...
LeRoy, David. The Siren Of Paris (Kindle).
The Siren of Paris - Beginnings
The most dreaded ghosts are those who dwell within the mind's eye. Ghosts that haunt a house you can move away from, but the ghostsof one's own consciousness can never be escaped. Such ghosts haunt Marc Tolbert. This is the basis of the opening chapter of The Sirenof Paris. Marc Tolbert has finally passed from life to death and is joined at his graveside by these spirits because he is just like them.
Several editors suggested that I strike out the difficult to pronounce French names of these graveyards, out of fear that I would "put off the reader." In fact, throughout the process of writing this book, the opening chapter has been a challenge. However, eliminating this chapter would mean that I would repeat the same cycle that has continued for 72 years, ignoring those who died in the sinking of the RMS Lancastria. As a survivor of this tragedy, Marc would not be able to escape these ghosts, and that is the essence of survivor's guilt. In opening the book from his point of view, I chose to name every single one of the graveyards where survivors are buried.
When the unknown number rise up out of the sea and the land to join the known number of dead that rest in graves, Marc cries out "WHY" to the priest. Is he asking why he must see this again? Is he asking why is this his judgment? What if, dear reader, he is not asking a question at all, but merely calling out the name of the single most horrible ghost of all: the "Why" that has no answer?
Why did Marc survive and the others die? Why did this horrible war happen at all? Why could he not save his friends, and was only able to save himself? Why did he go back to Paris when he could have left for America? These are the ghosts of survivors, the nagging "whys" that refuse to be laid to rest.
The opening line is then repeated by the priest, "may the lord be with you." Marc witnesses himself, on June 18, 1939, crossing a threshold from a chapel to the main dinning room of the S.S. Normandie. He takes a seat at a table beneath the statue "La Pax", or Peace, alone, within a magnificent room of Lalique crystal lights. Dora calls him away from this table, underneath the protection of peace, to dine in the grill room with his new friends. By the end of this second chapter, all of the lights are turned out in the dining room, one by one, leaving La Pax alone in the dark. Marc does not know it in 1939, but he has crossed more than just the Atlantic Ocean to take up art studies in France. He's crossed into the hurricane of death and destruction known today as World War Two. His journey will take him into a total vacuum lacking any love, faith or hope. This is where he came to know the oldest and most powerful ghost known to man, named Why.

Cambodia's Chhoeung Puthearim (blue) tries to kick Vu Thi Hau of Vietnam during their Women's Senior Bantamweight final at the ASEAN Taekwondo Championship. Photo by: Sreng Meng Srun
In a display of guts and glory, Cambodia reaped a rich harvest of 41 medals – four of them glittering gold – as the curtain came down on the 10th ASEAN Taekwondo Championships at the National Sports Complex on Saturday.
Regional Taekwondo giants Vietnam expectedly swept the mat clean with 25 golds from their cache of 56 medals. The Philippines, with 11 golds and 41 medals in total, took second place ahead of Cambodia in third.
But for the Kingdom, which was hosting an event of this size and stature for the first time, the golden haul was the biggest ever from an international competition.
The irrepressible Sorn Davin was confidence personified as she landed the Women's Senior Middleweight gold with a compact win over Vietnam's Tran Thi Ngoc Bich on Saturday.
Earlier in the day, Chhoeung Puthearim lit the arena up when she deftly handled a tough contest against Vietnam's Vu Thi Hau to grab the Women's Senior Bantamweight gold.
When Chhoy Puthea got down to fight Indonesia's Derry Dharmansyah in the Men's Senior Lightweight final, a vociferous crowd gave him a roof shattering vocal support and he didn't let down his supporters.
Puthea, always technically efficient, got the measure of the Indonesian to bring Cambodia another precious gold.
The fourth gold for the hosts came when Puth Bunthoeun put up a stout-hearted show to down Keno Anthony Mendoza of the Philippines.
"It is unbelievably good result for us," said National Olympic Committee of Cambodia Secretary General Vath Chamroeun.
"Four golds and 41 medals in all can only mean that Cambodia is now one of the region's prime contenders in this discipline. This performance now raises our hope of more medals at the forthcoming SEA Games [this November].
"Sorn Davin and Chhoeung Puthearim will train in South Korea for four months before the SEA Games and they are our best hope in Indonesia," he said.
"Apart from these very good results, we have also managed to showcase our management skills. The championships went through without a hitch and it enhances our confidence to host bigger events in the future."
19-year-old Sorn Davin expressed her pride in claiming the gold before going on a victory lap around the arena to the passionate waving of national colours. "I was very confident going into the fight. I am happy I have won this gold medal for the country," she said.
Cambodia head coach Choi Yong Sok, a South Korean who has been with the national team since 1994, was also pleased with their success. "We have worked very hard for this result and I am glad our team performed so creditably."
There were also near misses on the mat for the Kingdom, particularly in the men's senior section. Vietnam's Vo Hoang Giao edged out Cambodia's So Naro in the Middleweight final, while Chhoy Bouthorn, who was shaping up to improve on his silver from the 2009 SEA Games, fell foul to a renewed surge by Vietnam's Luong The Nhat Mink in the Flyweight category gold medal match.
In the Senior Women's Flyweight final, Cheang Bunna fought on level terms in the first two rounds before Malaysia's Elaine Teo Shueh Fhern took absolute control of the bout.
Singapore and Laos went home without a gold medal, while Indonesia picked up one. Malaysia and Thailand accounted for two gold medals each.
45 gold and silver medals and 74 bronzes were awarded in total during the tournament, which consisted of individual and team Poomsae (performance) competitions on Thursday and junior and senior men's and women's Gyeorugi (combative) events on Friday and Saturday.

In which the Egyptian Premier League tie between Al Ittihad and Wadi Degla (both are flirting with relegation in the bottom four of the table) last night quickly descends into complete anarchy after Ittihad concede a goal at the death with score previously deadlocked at 1-1…
According to our admittedly flimsy research, that was the first ever pitch invasion in the history of the Egyptian Premier League – remember where you were people!
Any road up, sit tight Degla fans, for we have some bad news for you.
Given that the Alexandria Stadium pitch was full of seething Egyptians at the time, the referee actually suspended the game just seconds before he was due to blow the final whistle – thus rendering Alaa Issa's last-gasp goal completely null and void!

Assessment of Oral LISPRO Treatment in Ameliorating Amyloid and Tau Pathology in Transgenic Alzheimer's Mice Model
Poster Jun 19, 2017

Lithium is used primarily as a mood stabilizer for bipolar disorder and has been used to treat mania, depression and suicidal thoughts for a long time. In addition, it has also been shown to prevent cognitive decline which indicated that lithium has a potential therapeutic effect in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, one of the main problems that exist in the currently FDA-approved lithium pharmaceutics (carbonate and citrate) is that it has narrow therapeutic index and lithium plasma level change drastically which can cause adverse side effects. Here we investigated the safety, pharmacokinetics and therapeutic efficacies of LISPRO (ionic co-crystals of lithium salicylate with organic l-proline), lithium salicylate, Li2CO3 (currently used) and placebo. We found that LISPRO attenuate β-amyloid plaques and phosphorylation of tau through modulation of inflammation and GSK3β inactivation. Cytokine profiles in the brain, plasma and splenocyte suggest that LISPRO (8-weeks) down-regulates pro-inflammatory, up-regulates anti-inflammatory and suppresses renal COX2 expression in Tg2576 mice. Plasma and brain pharmacokinetics of lithium indicated that LISPRO showed significantly higher brain and steady plasma lithium levels on C57BL/6J (2-weeks) and Tg2576 (8-weeks) mice. Interestingly, chronic (20-weeks) administration of LISPRO produces a slightly higher, but non-significant brain to plasma lithium levels and reduces β-amyloid plaques, and tau-phosphorylation through modulation of presynaptic (synaptophysin) and post-synaptic protein (PSD95) expression in 3xTg-AD mice.

A 1975 British film starring Susan Sarandon and Tim Curry, THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW began its journey as a London stage musical before becoming the longest running cult film of all time.
A box office failure upon initial release, 20th Century Fox re-opened ROCKY HORROR at midnight in April 1976 and it found its audience. People began attending the screenings in costume, and shouting out lines in response to the film dialogue. From this, the concept of a 'floorshow cast' began. Nothing can beat seeing the film with a live cast in costume, and with audience members singing-along and shouting audience participation lines in time with the film!
Sweethearts Brad (Barry Bostwick) and Janet (Susan Sarandon), stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry), a transvestite scientist. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker (Meat Loaf) and a creepy butler (Richard O'Brien). Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named "Rocky."

Cllr Olivia Blake, Labour's candidate for Sheffield Hallam, is organising a rally in Sheffield this weekend against the confirmed suspension of Parliament in October.
The rally on Saturday is also being supported by Paul Blomfield, MP for Sheffield Central, and Louise Haigh, MP for Sheffield Heeley.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has confirmed he has asked the Queen to suspend Parliament for a week – a process known as 'proroguing' – following the break for party conferences at the end of September.
After the suspension, there will be a Queen's Speech in Parliament to outline the new government's legislative programme, but means opposition MPs are left with very little time before the UK crashes out of the EU without a deal on 31 October.
Read more: Deputy leader of Sheffield City Council quits to back referendum
On Tuesday 27 September, opposition leaders in Westminster met to agree their strategy for presenting a no-deal Brexit, and seemingly settled on passing legislation to make leaving the EU without a deal illegal.
However this latest news cuts down the amount of time available for them to act on that strategy, and makes a no-deal Brexit more likely.
Cllr Blake has been approached by Forge Press for comment, and this story will be updated in time.

4 Unexpected Things That An Eye Doctor Can Reveal For Your General Health
Yes, your eyes are a window to your soul. But they can also be of great help to your general health. That's why you should take the following advice from Dr. Mark Jacquа to help you better monitor your health through your eyes. Certain health conditions do not affect vision when they are in the early stage, but their early indicators can be noticed by eye check. Your family doctor is surely paying attention to these signs on a regular basis, but if you are curious, look at the following things that the eye doctor can discover about your health.
If the doctor detects expired blood capillaries in your eye, it will immediately be taken as a sign that you are a diabetic. Diabetes causes significant visual damage over time, and this can be prevented if the initial signs are seen during eye examination. In this way you can begin to fight on this condition early and save your sight for the rest of your life. If not heeded, diabetes can also damage small vessels in the brain and kidneys.
Tumors in the brain
During an eye exam, physicians directly monitor the blood vessels and optic nerves leading to the brain. That's why, if they see any swelling or shadow, it's a big sign that there may be something serious in your brain, like tumors and dangerous clots that can lead to strokes. Often, additional tests are needed in these situations, but only a basic eye test is sufficient to detect something that can be further investigated.
High blood pressure
It seems that one of the easiest ways to spot hypertension or high blood pressure is through routine eye check. It is easily seen in small and delicate blood vessels in the eyes. As blood pressure increases, the eye doctor will begin to notice the narrowing of the arteries in the eyes. If this condition persists for a long time, the arteries in the eyes may also receive silver or copper.
High cholesterol
High cholesterol can produce stone build-up on the walls of the blood vessels, resulting in the dysfunction of the arteries in the body. This can also happen in the eyes, creating an easy sign that the eye doctor can immediately notice. He can see cholesterol that is arranged in the back of the eye, as well as in the front, which looks like a thin and gray frame around the cornea.

I thought I would do a Day in the Life post to document and share what a typical day looks like for me. I chose to do this on a normal Sunday – so this is what my typical Summer Sunday looks like, and honestly this was a pretty boring and normal Sunday!
I woke up around 7:30 or so (which is sleeping in haha) because we had a little bit of a late night the night before. I laid in bed on my phone until like 9 though and have no pictures until I decided to get up. I love laying in bed and weekends are the only time I get to do so lol.
Once I got up I did my normal Sunday chores which included starting the laundry,
Cleaning the kitchen.
Making the bed.
Putting away the groceries that were just delivered.
And working on the computer a little bit.
I ate some leftover chicken and noodles and took a shower and got dressed.
Then I folded some laundry and was kind of lazy (it's really my only day to be lol)
And then I sat down and wrote Wednesday's blog post and started writing this one too. Sometimes I work at my desk when I blog, and sometimes I like to cuddle up in bed or on the couch with my laptop and blog from there.
After a little work it was time for some social media and listening to my new favorite thing – the My Favorite Murder podcast! I started listening about 4 weeks ago and now I'm obsessed. I understand the hype now for sure.
Then Miguel was hungry at about 3:30 so he grilled some brat burgers for us. Our eating schedule is all messed up on the weekends. We didn't eat big lunches so we got hungry early. It was good though!
Then after that things got REAL lazy lol. Which isn't completely normal for me to just sit around but after the busy-ness of this month is was much needed! SO I have no more pictures really until it was time to get ready for bed. My bedtime routine usually includes reading or listening to my podcast (and always with a bottle of water!)
Well that's what a typical and boring Sunday looks like for me. Thanks reading and for catching up!

Wine of the Week | De Martino
January is here and with it we'd like to share one of our very favourite value wineries of our portfolio. De Martino is one of Chile's most famous wineries and one of the most forward-thinking and accomplished within the Lifford stable of wines. Founded in 1934, the winery is now stewarded by fourth generation, Marco Antonio and Sebastián de Martino alongside winemaker Marcelo Retamel. The winery works with carefully selected plots from around the country, seeking purity, place and balance through organic, dry farming of the highest quality. Their efforts have paid off; De Martino consistently tops best-of lists and are praised by some of the toughest critics around the world from Jancis Robinson to Robert Parker to Jamie Goode.
This past October, De Martino was selected as one of the best wineries in Chile by Robert Parker's Extraordinary Wineries Award, one of twenty-five wineries in the Americas and one of just three in Chile. Soon before, they were ranked among the Top 100 Wineries in the World according to Wine & Spirits magazine and winemaker Marco Retamel was named one of the most renowned 50 winemakers in the world coming in at 13, the top place in Latin America. Jancis Robinson MW has called De Martino "one of the most dynamic and enterprising of Chile's many enterprising and experimental companies". All that to say, the world has noticed.
We carry a range of their wines including their famed and rare amphora aged Cinsault ($44.99 x 6 packs) and amphora aged skin-contact Moscatel ($44.99 x 6 packs), which are both so fine and special, but for quality and value the 347 Chardonnay and Carmenere cannot be beat. 347 refers to the number of experimental plantings winemaker Marcelo researched to determine which vineyards were most suited to each varietal. These wines are the culmination of 12 years' research. A top pick for many restaurant 'by the glass lists' both easily delight at weekday price points.
347 Chardonnay
$21.99 per bottle | 12 bottles per case
Crisp clean and bone dry! The 347 range are single varietal wines composed of carefully selected parcels of fruit from different sub-regions of a particular valley. The result is a multi-dimensional wine, a fusion of unique character. The Chardonnay comes from cool climate Limarí close to the Pacific Ocean and is bursting with fresh papaya fruit and crisp citrus. Fresh, fruity and dry, this is an easy pairing for lighter fare or on its own.
347 Carmenere
$21.99 per bottle | 12 bottles per case
Rich, ripe and balanced Carmenere from De Martino's home, Maipo. Deep, dark ruby with a soft, full and pepper-spice palate that begs for grilled meat, a fire place, or cold bones that demand warming. Perfectly balanced and instantly enjoyable.
To order, please call our office at 416-440-4101. Shipping available for Ontario residents only (Sorry!)

Main Uses of CRS
CRS provides just-in-time (JIT) and asynchronous repackaging and HLS-to-HLS conversion. The result of repackaging is an HLS formatted version of the original ad creative. CRS places the HLS formatted version on the content delivery network (CDN) server for use when needed.
In JIT repackaging Adobe Primetime ad insertion begins the repackaging process when it first encounters a non-HLS ad creative. This usually entails lost opportunities to run the ad during the repackaging process.
In asynchronous repackaging, the ad creative is transcoded and stored before it is needed, which can eliminate those lost opportunities.
In HLS-to-HLS conversion, CRS reformats an HLS ad creative into appropriate sized chunks to ensure consistent playback.
Just-in-Time Repackaging
The sequence for JIT repackaging is as follows:
- The manifest server fetches an ad.
- If the ad format is HLS, the manifest server inserts the ad into the content stream.
- If the format is not HLS (for example, MP4, FLV, or WebM), the manifest server looks for a transcoded version on the CDN server. If it finds one, it inserts the transcoded ad into the content stream.
- If the format is not HLS and the CDN server has no transcoded version, the manifest server passes the ad to CRS, which transcodes the ad creative and stores the result on the CDN server for later use.
- The manifest server returns the content without the ad.
Asynchronous Repackaging
You can use the API described in Repackaging API to pre-transcode a non-HLS creative to minimize loss of impressions and maximize monetization.
HLS-to-HLS Conversion
To avoid buffering and delay, a client downloads a video in small chunks. If the chunk sizes are inconsistent, the playback may be jerky. HLS-to-HLS conversion ensures that data chunks are all of the same duration (for example, 6 seconds).
CRS produces HLS version 3, regardless of which HLS version it receives.

The year 2019 is going to be the best year for Pakistani citizens in terms of immigration. South Korea, Japan, and Canada have already announced new immigration policies in 2019. In the same manner, European countries have softened their immigration laws for foreigners. In this article, we will let you know how to get European countries visa in 2019 without spending a lot of your money.
Get European Countries Visa in 2019
There are many ways through which you can enter in Europe by legal ways. In the past few years, people have been using illegal ways to enter European countries like Germany and Italy. Keep in mind that according to new laws, now it is impossible for an illegal person to get legal status. So, you should only focus the legal and easy ways to apply for your visa.
Different Ways to Enter Europe Legally
There are many ways through which you can enter Europe.
- Study Visa
- Travel Visa
- Family Reunion Visa
- Work Permit
- Permanent Residency Program
If you are just wondering how to get European countries visa in 2019, then your answer is Germany. Germany is offering German Skilled Worker Visa to more than 3 Million people. If you are a plumber, electrician, etc then you have a good chance to enter Europe in 2019.
TIP: Get yourself a certificate from TEVTA or Punjab Board of Technical Education in Pakistan if you want to apply for Germany skilled worker visa. The certificates offered by both of these institutions are equivalent to the Technical certificates in Germany.
Switzerland was a dream country for everyone to visit in the last few decades. Now, Switzerland is going to announce its new immigration rules in 2019 regarding work visas.
UK (Farm Worker Visa)
We have already discussed about UK farm worker visa in of our old posts. The farm work visas are going to start in March 2019. A good thing about this visa is that it is only for Non-European citizens. So, it is a good chance for Pakistani citizens to apply under farm working visa scheme. All you need is a general IELTS test score of 5 bands and a bit of experience in farming.
Finally, these were some way through which you can get European countries visa in 2019. Which of these countries do you prefer to visit in 2019? Let us know in the comment section below

Daniel 11:27 And both these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
Who says the Bible isn't up with the times? Turn on the news tonight, and see how long it takes before you hear about kings sitting together and speaking lies at one table.
And they can meet, they can negotiate, they can treaty, they can draw lines in the sand all they want – in hopes of achieving "peace for our time" (read a bit of history here). Their people can protest and hold vigils and light candles all they want in hopes of bringing peace to the world.
But the end shall be at the time appointed. Make no mistake. World peace will come – but not until the Prince of Peace returns and establishes His throne in Jerusalem, and all the nations and all peoples of the world submit to His authority.
There is a statue that depicts the conditions described in Isaiah 2:4 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City (sore subject, but I didn't get to see it because the day we went they were absolutely shut down in observance of some Muslim holiday).
Now, believe it or not, they pulled the verse out of its context and failed to include vv. 2-3 in the inscription:
Isaiah 2:2-4 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
And the same principle holds true on an individual level. None of us can experience the peace of God in our hearts until we submit ourselves to the Lordship of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

Looking to raise some extra cash from a garage sale this summer?
Here are a few things you can do to ensure your garage sale is a success:
Advertise. Taking an ad out in your local newspaper is an expense some people may not want to incur, but a well-worded listing in the garage sale section of the classifieds can really drive traffic to your sale. Items people are always on the hunt for: baby & kids items and clothing and furniture. Don't forget to share the details of your garage sale on your local online forums, such as Craigslist.
Put out lots of signs. Not everyone will pick up a newspaper and you want to grab impulse shoppers in your neighborhood, so make sure you place large, easy to read signs that give all the pertinent details for your sale: Days, times, and location.
Prepare everything well in advance. My top tip: Mark your items for sale as you're clearing out your closets. If you wait until all of your wares are piled high in your garage, it will be a daunting task. Clean up dusty items and make sure you have all the parts and pieces so you can get the most money for your items. If you're holding a sale with friends and family, be sure to use different color stickers or initials on the price tags so that you can make sure each person gets paid for the items they sold.
Consider offering coffee and treats. In the early morning hours of the sale, you may want to consider selling coffee, soda, or treats like doughnuts or cookies. This is a great way to bring in some extra money from the sale, and is a great project for an older child who wants to help out at the sale.
Have plenty of change available. Always have plenty of change. It's almost a guarantee that someone will stop in and buy a dollar's worth of items with a $20 bill. Be ready.
Forget about the sunk costs. You're looking to move this clutter out of your garage. While it's natural to want to make a little bit of money from your sale, you need to be realistic about what you can really get for an item, so don't obsess about how much you paid for an item originally.
Be willing to deal. Garage sale shoppers are looking for a bargain. You're looking to get rid of your stuff. Be willing to make a deal. I will sometimes tell folks they can have something for a lower price if they take another item off my hands.
And last, but not least, be smart. Don't leave your money unattended. If you can, you may even want to carry it on your person in an oh-so-fashionable fanny pack. Don't let people into your home to use your bathroom, etc, and keep your home locked unless you have a family member inside.
Garage sales are a lot of work, but they can really help you clear out your clutter and raise a bit of spending cash.

Happy Tuesday! Hope you're enjoying your week so far.
I loved these pants so much that I had to wear them again with a different top. This time, I paired it up with a cute sea green colored blazer. I didn't want to throw in too many different colors with this outfit, so I stuck with minimal colors and stuck with mint shoes and a purple purse. Because there was silver in my shoes, I went with silver accessories, and a pop of yellow with a floral ring.
Trousers:Loose Fit Trousers With Floral Print
Purse:Jumi and Co.
Watch:Betsy Johnson
Shoes: Borrowed Similar here!
Ring: Forever21
Thank you so much for reading!

The parents' guide to what's in this movie.
Parents and caregivers: Set limits for violence and more with Plus
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Clue is the 1985 movie based on characters and objects in the Parker Brothers board game. As it's a slapstick farce of a movie, there is frequent sexual innuendo and double entendres. Male characters gawk at female characters, including a maid dressed in a sexy uniform. One of the characters is a madam in a brothel. There also is drinking, cigarette smoking, and pipe smoking. Although the violence is cartoonish, characters are murdered, and some characters are shown bleeding from the head or chest.

A FAVORITE Movie in Our House of Kids
I Must Stand Against the Review of this Movie
some jokes little ones wouldnt get
Lots of Innuendo, but overall HILARIOUS!!!!!!
What's the story?
Based on the Hasbro board game, CLUE attempts to explain how six unrelated, eccentric characters manage to become murder suspects while staying under one roof. The story is propelled and narrated by a character not found in the board game -- the butler (Tim Curry), who runs the show at a dinner to which the familiar characters of Miss Scarlet (Leslie Ann Warren), Colonel Mustard (Martin Mull), Mrs. Peacock (Eileen Brennan), Professor Plum (Christopher Lloyd), Mrs. White (Madeline Kahn), and Mr. Green (Michael McKean) have been invited. The guests find out they all have been blackmailed by the same man, Mr. Boddy (Lee Ving), who joins the party halfway through dinner. After Mr. Boddy's inevitable death, the murders compound as the group stumbles upon several more bodies, including those of the maid and the cook.
Is it any good?
There's really not much to this movie. There is a lot of recapping, which makes the already tedious story line even more tedious. Though the DVD offers three endings (and three murderers), none of the scenarios seems plausible or even likely.
Tim Curry is likable (and very energetic) and has moments of brilliance, but he isn't able to distract from the mess of plot holes and ill-planned nonsense. The rest of the main cast speak their weak lines as though their words are genius, but an understated style only works with a good script. Though there are moments of good comedic timing, most of the jokes and sight gags are obvious, flat, and crude. The juvenile humor and sexual innuendo will be best appreciated by the junior high and high school crowds.
Talk to your kids about ...
Families can talk about board games and which others, if any, might be good candidates for being adapted into a movie. How would the movie be different from the game?
If you could make your own movie version of Clue, what would it be like?
Which of the three possible endings did you like best? Why?

An online reporting form for sexual assault and misconduct concerns and an online resource center were launched by the university last Wednesday in response to findings from the 2016 Sexual Assault and Misconduct Climate Survey.
The two new resources are intended to help guide students during the reporting process, as well as compile available information regarding instances of sexual assault and harassment on campus. The goal of both tools is to enable students to communicate incidents of sexual assault in a more comfortable and easily accessible manner.
The results from Georgetown's 2016 Sexual Assault and Misconduct Climate Survey reported that many students were unaware of available sexual misconduct resources and that there was a desire for a more centralized platform to access them. According to the survey, 18.9 percent of students claim to be "very" or "extremely" knowledgeable about where to report an incident of sexual assault or misconduct.
Rosemary Kilkenny, the Vice President for Institutional Diversity, Equity and Affirmative Action said that the goal of these initiatives is to create a healthy campus climate for all members of the Georgetown community.
"It is also critical for students to be armed with knowledge of how to address this issue not only on campus, but also as they navigate life in society," Kilkenny wrote in an email to The Hoya.
Sylvia Levy (SFS '18), the vice speaker of the Georgetown University Student Association senate, emphasized the importance of student contributions to the creation of these resources and Georgetown's other efforts to combat sexual misconduct.
"For a few years, students in GUSA have been pushing for the University to make an online reporting form available, so this addition is more than welcome," Levy wrote in an email to The Hoya. "GUSA as a whole is completely committed to this work and will continue to try to work with administrators to get more resources for survivors and make campus a safer place."
Before the launch of this online forum, students wishing to report an instance of sexual misconduct were able to do so by going directly to the Office of Student Conduct, the Title IX coordinator or the Georgetown University Police Department. Ultimately, reports are also sent to the office of the Title IX coordinator, who works with students on a case-by-case basis to provide adequate resources and support, as well as explore potential avenues for recourse. When reports are made to the Title IX coordinator or the Deputy Title IX coordinator, the university has an obligation to review all reports and respond appropriately, according to the Georgetown website for sexual misconduct.
According to Laura Cutway, the university's Title IX coordinator, the Sexual Assault and Misconduct Task Force's recommendations were also a contributing factor to the creation of these platforms.
University President John J. DeGioia established the task force in 2016 to help the university obtain a broader understanding of sexual assault on campus.
The Sexual Assault and Misconduct Advisory Committee was created in fall 2017 to implement the recommendations made by the Sexual Assault and Misconduct Task Force.
Cutway also highlighted other university initiatives to combat sexual misconduct, including adding two full-time professional roles in the Office of Title IX Compliance and one full-time professional role in Health Education Services.
Although the new online resources represent a promising step, there is still progress to be made, according to Kory Stuer (COL '19), administrative chair of Sexual Assault Peer Educators, a student group that facilitates interactive discussions that promote healthy relationships, define consent, dispel myths about interpersonal violence, provide bystander intervention strategies and highlight available resources.
Stuer praised the university's commitment to addressing the issue, but also pointed out areas for improvement, particularly with regard to particularly vulnerable groups such as students of color, LGBTQ students and students with disabilities.
Stuer said members of these groups experience sexual misconduct at disproportionately high levels.
"Responding to sexual violence in our community takes a dedication that goes beyond just words, and we hope that Georgetown continues to commit the necessary resources to Health Education Services and the other offices supporting our community," Stuer wrote in an email to The Hoya.

Sunflower is actually the predominant summer oilseed crop grown in this country. In recent times, consumers have started to become more aware of the benefits of the various types of sunflower oil.
The changing dynamics of the sunflower industry indicate that three major sunflower types are now required:
- Firstly, there are the traditional polyunsaturated sunflowers

- Thirdly, the birdseed or confectionery market is also becoming larger and more developed
The Pacific Seeds Hysun sunflower range is available throughout the world. Hysun has become a popular choice in a lot of the toughest growing conditions because of its high yield potential, excellent disease protection and drought tolerance.

A three-judge Superior Court panel has found the Bipartisan State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement is unconstitutional because it violates the governor's duty to faithfully execute laws, and approved an injunction nullifying it.
However, with the Nov. 6 general election just three weeks away, the court let the elections board continue operating until the election results are certified.
An amendment on the Nov. 6 ballot, if passed, would reconfigure the elections and ethics board and put those changes in the state constitution.
The order in the Cooper v. Berger case, in which Gov. Roy Cooper sued Senate leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, and House Speaker Tim Moore, R-Cleveland, was released Tuesday, Oct. 16. Judge Jeffery Foster, a Pitt County Republican, dissented from the majority opinion of Forsyth County Judge Todd Burke and Gaston County Judge Jesse Caldwell, both Democrats.
In his dissenting opinion Foster said the court should not address the matter because Cooper's complaints were political in nature, not constitutional.
The elections board power struggle has several layers. It began when Cooper challenged a law passed by the Republican-led General Assembly on April 25, 2017, that reorganized the elections board by merging it with the State Ethics Commission.
The law switched from a five-member board appointed by the governor to an eight-member board split evenly among Democrats and Republicans, to be appointed by the governor from a list of nominees provided by the political parties.
The three-judge panel dismissed Cooper's challenge, but the N.C. Supreme Court reversed the decision 4-3, saying the evenly split board was unconstitutional, and returned the case to the trial court, which then voided the law.
The General Assembly passed a new law Feb. 13, 2018, again reformulating the state elections board in much the same fashion, but adding a ninth unaffiliated member to be appointed by the governor from a list of two nominees submitted by the other eight members.
Cooper allowed the law to take effect without his signature, but again filed a constitutional challenge March 13, and June 15 filed for summary judgment.
Tuesday's majority found the structure of the new state board unconstitutional. They said the agency is primarily administrative or executive in character, but the governor can't choose a majority of the board. That's because four members are from the opposing party, and the board members recommend the unaffiliated member.
Further, the governor can remove a board member for any cause, but he can't fill vacancies. The majority said the governor doesn't really have removal power.
The ruling said the law violated separation of powers because the elections board executive director was appointed by the General Assembly, and could not be removed for 29 months. "As a result, neither the Governor nor his appointees to the State Board have any power of supervision over the Executive Director" of an executive agency.
The panel found the new structure and chairmanship of county boards of elections to be unconstitutional.
Previously, county boards comprised three members, two from the party of the sitting governor, and one from the other major political party. The new law set up an evenly divided four-member board, whose members can be removed by the state board. The appointive process for chairmen required a Republican to be in office during presidential and gubernatorial election years.
"This Court can see no other reason for such provision other than to place one political party in control of the Chair of the County Boards at the most critical election times," the majority opinion stated. That deprived the governor of the ability to faithfully execute election laws in the manner he sees fit, the judges said.
The same reasoning was used to declare appointment of the state elections board chairman unconstitutional because the political party with the second highest registration — currently the Republican Party — holds that post during presidential and gubernatorial election years.
There has long been a political test for appointing the chairman from the party of the sitting governor, the order noted. "There was, however, never in place a provision which could deprive one party of the Chair of the State Board during every election year in which the Governor and the President were selected."
Wednesday, House Rules Committee Chairman David Lewis, R-Harnett, and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Warren Daniel, R-Burke, issued a joint statement saying the General Assembly would seek an emergency stay of the entire ruling. They cited potential voter confusion which could ensue if voters think there's no formal agency enforcing election laws.

Most will agree that a garden will do wonders to one's home. It is the reason why many have turned into an avid gardener. A well looked after garden; no matter the size will do wonders to the one's home and will definitely create the serene and welcoming look.
Worried that your area is too small? Don't be because size does not matter much for a beautiful garden is not determined by the size. It is all up to your creativity and effort. Time and budget is another important element that you will have to put into your garden. Take the initiative to start from scratch and you will not miss the one of the most enjoyable part which is shopping for your garden needs.
Starting it could seem a daunting task, but it is also an extremely rewarding venture when everything just starts to blossom in ways that every homeowner knows that they would.
The best way to start is to visualize the end result before you put in place your plan. You can put some potted plants under a few patio umbrellas for a start only to provide a space for the family to relax before you take on your garden mission.
The joy in seeing the progress can be quite exhilarating, to say the least. It's best to be planned together with any major renovations so that the garden patio complements the home and does not end up looking like a mere add-on of an afterthought.
If you are working on a small area, you have the advantage of extending your budget to quality purchases such as teak furniture that is durable and create a classy look for your garden. Be it a corner garden or indoor; let your imagination run wild utilizing what ever area you have.
If there is absolutely no way you can have an outdoor garden due to space constraint, opt for an indoor garden instead; this of course requires a bit more money and you to devote extra time. A pergola as a focal point for your garden can be quite expensive so you can instead work on a Bonsai. You can scout for a perfect tree at any nursery.
You will be surprised to see the many ranges of bonsai tree available in your local nurseries from wheat farms to mountain rages. Opting for bonsai will provide you with a creative and Zen like look and feel.
Incorporating a concrete-based fish pond underneath the centerpiece would allow the garden to nurture itself and giving an added attraction to the miniature garden. There is also nothing more soothing than watching fishes swim in crystal clear water as you let the calm takes away the day's weariness.
Have some patio furniture in place, and you have a ready made guest area for those days when you are less than inclined to invite visitors into the living room, and the conversations over a cup of tea could focus on the bonsai and the accompanying water fountain model which provides the base for the bonsai to stand on. An outdoor coffee table could not be more superfluous.
This setting is flexible in a sense that you will be able to change the tree whenever you feel like it. After all, a bonsai tree enthusiast will always be creating the beautiful bonsai tree every year.
Heaters are good investment for your garden too. Outdoor heaters for the garden will ensure that your garden will be fully utilized even on those cold evenings and best of all, you can still sit out there, enjoy the serenity and your cup of tea!
Your Mini Enchanted Forest – The Bonsai Garden
Most will agree that a garden will do wonders to one's home. It is the reason why many have turned into an avid gardener. A well looked after garden; no matter the size will do wonders to the one's home and will definitely create the serene and welcoming look.

Laser-assisted cataract surgery (femto-cataract) abroad is performed by qualified and experienced eye surgeons using the latest LenSx femtosecond laser at the top eye clinic located in the city centre of Prague, Czech Republic.
If you suffer from cataract symptoms, our eye surgeons recommend laser cataract surgery to stop the progression of vision loss and restore your vision.
The surgery is performed without use of any sharp instruments, controlled by most modern systems resulting in higher accuracy, quicker recovery and more comfort.
The surgery is performed in local anesthesia and takes about 10 minutes per eye. Only 1 stay in Prague is required.
I had both lens replaced in March 2018 and I cannot believe what a difference it has made.
I had the trifocal lens because I wore contact lens but still needed glasses for reading and varifocal glasses when I wasn't wearing my contact lens, now I don't need any of these which is lovely, it's great not having to take glasses everywhere and I can read tiny writing which is unbelievable. I am still getting halo's around lights but that is to be expected as it was only 3 weeks ago I had them done. I took the package and everyone involved looked after me .l also met lots of other people and we all agreed on how nice everyone was from the driver who picked us up from the airport right up the surgeon. I would recommend the Praga Medica to anyone.Janet Symons, East YorksMarch 25, 2018

Cataract means reduced transparency (opacity) and hardening of the eye lens that is normally clear. Most often we experience cataract after 60 years of age. Among the risk factors for cataract occurrence are mainly age, general diseases, diabetes, using some medicines on a long-term basis, smoking and eye injury.
Femto-cataract surgery or laser assisted cataract with monofocal lenses is performed in local anesthesia. The cloudy lens is painlessly crushed using the LenSx laser and removed through a very small and precise microincision. Our experienced cataract surgeon implants a new high quality Acrysof monofocal yellow lens.
Many of the steps of the surgery are done before the incision is made in comparison to the standard method. The natural lens is crushed using a femtosecond laser instead of ultrasound. Less energy and less intrusion into the eye results in quicker recovery. The incision is made by the femtosecond laser hence increasing precision of the cut.
The surgery takes place in an ambulatory (outpatient) setting. The duration is about 10 minutes. The patient can leave the eye clinic immediately after the surgery. Next day is post-operative check up.
Both eyes femto-cataract surgery takes only 5 days in Prague. A thorough preoperative examination precedes the femto-cataract surgery and there is at least one post-operative check up after each eye surgery.
The standard femto-cataract surgery with IOL monofocal lens comes with a high quality Acrysof lens implant produced by Alcon, an American company. We stock lens implants of other manufacturers as well, most popular are Alcon and Zeiss. Multifocal and toric versions of cataract lenses are also available.
The price quoted is for the femto-cataract surgery using LenSx. We also ofer a standard method where a small incision is made by our experienced cataract surgeon.
The cataract surgery with monofocal lens is usually provided within national schemes NHS, HSE cheap, ie. free of charge but long waiting times are to be expected. If you want your vision to improve without waiting, be operated by one of top and best cataract surgeons, contact us for a free consultation. Many foreign patients opt to travel to Prague and abroad because the surgery is performed within weeks, laser assisted cataract surgery provides the latest standard in the cataract surgery, the monofocal lenses are of highest quality for a fraction of the cost, each patient is treated as a VIP patient.
If you are coming from a EEA country, we will be glad to help with all documentation for your local health care authority or national health system (NHS, HSE etc.). The Czech Republic is a EEA member and operates European Directive on patients right in cross-border healthcare.

Brooke Shields Sues Charlotte Tilbury, Major Retailers Over "Brooke S" Eyebrow Pencil
Brooke Shields is suing some of the beauty industry's biggest brands, claiming they are unfairly profiting from her iconic eyebrows.
The model-turned-actress on Wednesday sued Charlotte Tilbury Beauty and a host of retailers claiming they are capitalizing on her fame by selling an eyebrow pencil in a shade called "Brooke S," which she says "undoubtedly attracts consumers hoping to emulate her signature look."
Shields says she's spent decades developing her public image and has "carefully curated" her business and endorsement deals.
"From the beginning of her career, Shields's [sic] bold eyebrows have been the trademark of her look and a target for endorsements and collaborations," writes attorney Alex Weingarten in the complaint.
Shields hasn't endorsed any brow-related products since a 2014 line with MAC Cosmetics, and says she was "shocked" to see a Charlotte Tilbury eyebrow pencil with her name on it. She says the company never requested permission to use her name for its Brow Lift pencil.
Shields is suing for violation of her rights of publicity and is seeking disgorgement of profits, plus damages.
Retail defendants include Beautylish, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale's, J.C. Penney, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Sephora and YNAP.
