MONTREAL - How much did the director of your local hospital spend on expense-account meals?
Are workers paid by your tax dollars allowed to log onto Facebook and Twitter at the office?
What are the details of a major bridge-repair contract awarded to a private company?
Under freedom-of-information laws, citizens have a right to know these things.
But in many cases, governments are still blocking their efforts to find out, according to the National Freedom of Information Audit.
"The acts are supposed to encourage accountability," said Fred Vallance-Jones, an assistant professor of journalism at the University of King's College in Halifax who authored the annual report card on freedom of information (FOI) in Canada.
"But if the requesters can't get the information in a reasonable amount of time, then to me, the acts aren't performing their primary role."
The annual audit, funded by Newspapers Canada, is the largest and most comprehensive survey of how effectively Canada's FOI laws are working.
The 53-page report gives Charlottetown, Saskatoon and Manitoba top marks for responding to requests quickly and fully, while handing failing grades to Winnipeg, Saint John, N.B., and the province of Quebec for holding back certain information.
Researchers supervised by Vallance-Jones filed 354 information requests on 40 topics at the end of December 2010. At the end of five months, all requests that still had not produced a decision were deemed to have been refused.
The requests were sent to 11 federal departments and agencies, 53 provincial and territorial departments, 39 municipalities and 10 large hospitals across the country.
Seventy-three per cent of government offices responded within 30 days – the limit set by most federal, provincial and municipal access-to-information laws.
One-quarter of government offices responded between 30 and 60 days after getting the request, while 2.5 per cent of requests still had not produced results by the end of the audit.
This year's results show that "the system works better in theory than it has in practice," the report said. "Attempts to access records to hold governments accountable become bogged down in long delays, demands for prohibitive fees and bureaucratic intransigence," it found.
Only 61 per cent of federal departments and agencies responded within 30 days – earning the federal government a D for speed of disclosure. Still, that was an improvement compared to last year, when only half of federal offices met the 30-day deadline.
Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Yukon and Quebec answered the
fastest; all four earned an A for speed.
British Columbia was slowest – rated an F for answering only 13 per cent of queries within 30 days. The report noted the main reason B.C. took the longest to answer is that its access-to-information law only requires a response within 30 business days, while the deadline is 30 calendar days in most jurisdictions.
The audit also examined whether governments answered fully or held certain facts back.
Information requested included guidelines on personal or business use of social media sites; copies of contracts awarded by federal departments or municipalities; communications budgets for provincial departments and municipalities; briefing notes for provincial ministers; costs of medical treatments in the United States later reimbursed by provincial health insurance; and credit card statements for senior hospital employees.
The most forthcoming provinces were Manitoba and Nova Scotia, which both earned an A for disclosure.
The most secretive was Quebec – rated an F for refusing to disclose certain information. For example, Quebec refused to reveal travel costs for senior officials.
Ontario was the next most unco-operative province, receiving a D for disclosure.
Municipalities that scored highest for disclosure were Regina, Saskatoon, Montreal, Sherbrooke, Quebec City and Charlottetown. The least forthcoming city was Winnipeg, which refused to release a street-sweeping contract, claiming it was confidential.
Saint John refused to provide its policy on use of social media sites on the grounds that the city was not yet covered by the province's new Right to Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
However, Charlottetown, Moncton and Fredericton complied with information requests despite not yet being subject to access-to-information legislation.
Fees are another deterrent to obtaining government information, the audit found. Saskatchewan's Ministry of Social Services demanded a whopping $1,685.25 for staff time and photocopies when asked to supply the deputy minister's credit card statements.
Cornwall, Ont., asked for $461.74 to cover administrative fees and photocopies to supply a contract for construction of a $23-million sports centre. The fee estimate included sales tax, even though FOI fees are not subject to tax, and staff time for making photocopies, which is also contrary to Ontario's FOI law.
Researchers requested copies of more than 50 government contracts for everything from dental equipment for the armed forces to private mail delivery for Canada Post. The request "tests one of the most important principles of Canadian democracy, that the public has a right to know how public officials are spending money and with whom they are spending," the report said. It recommended that governments notify companies with which they do business that contracts are public information under access-to-information laws.
Vallance-Jones said the results suggest that government offices tend to answer FOI requests more quickly when they don't involve controversial topics or come from reporters.
"But if these acts don't work where the rubber really hits the road, with requests from media, requests from interest groups and lobby groups, requests from parliamentarians and opposition members, then the acts aren't doing what they're supposed to do," he said.
Despite "a refreshing openness about municipal contracts in Saskatchewan and Charlottetown's continued willingness to release information" even though it is not covered by access legislation, the report concluded, "there is still a lot to be done to make Canada's access statutes work as citizens have a right to expect."

The expectations were firmly set as soon as it was announced that a quartet of contemporary Mumbai directors was making four quickies to mark the centennial of the Hindi movie industry.
The primary point of interest was inevitably focussed on how each filmmaker would interpret the medium that has defined Indian popular culture for a hundred years.
Bombay Talkies serves its principal purpose quite well: each segment of this cinematic anthology underscores in bold relief the defining creative impulses of its maker.
To that extent, Bombay Talkies springs no surprises at all. You get more or less what you expect.
Karan Johar, in the opening segment, stays put in his comfort zone ? in the world of a yuppie couple (Rani Mukherji, entertainment supplement editor; and Randeep Hooda, TV news anchor) and a spunky gay rebel (Saqib Saleem) who turns their married life on its head.
At the other end of the spectrum, in the fourth short film, Anurag Kashyap settles for a characteristically cheeky, earthy and breezy style in telling the story of an Allahabad man (Vineet Kumar Singh) who sets out on an improbable mission to meet his dad?s movie idol, Amitabh Bachchan, and give the superstar a taste of home-made murabba.
Similarly, while Zoya Akhtar cannot quite break free from the lure of a Bollywood diva (Katrina Kaif) even as she comes up with the unconventional tale of a boy (Naman Jain) who aspires to be a girl, Dibakar Banerjee gives full rein to what he is good at ? capturing the joys and despairs of ?that little man? in the crowd (Nawazuddin Siddiqui).
Each segment of Bombay Talkies has its moments, either in terms of the quality of the acting or in the little narrative sleights that hit home. What is disappointing is that, barring the Dibakar Banerjee segment, none of the films is an attempt to showcase cinema as a self-contained medium of expression. They only explore its external manifestations.
Two of the segments ? Zoya Akhtar?s and Anurag Kashyap?s ? are about the dynamics of movie stardom and how it exercises a hold on the lives of common people.
Karan Johar?s story, essentially a relationship drama bolstered by fine performances, establishes no more than a fleeting linkage with the movies through a pair of classic 1960s Lata Mangeshkar numbers (Ajeeb dastaan hai yeh kahaan shuru kahaan khatam and Lag jaa gale ki phir yeh haseen raat ho na ho) that a girl on a railway station footbridge sings for a few tokens of appreciation from passerby.
Despite the obvious stylistic divergences, all the four stories dwell upon lies and truths, and make-believe and struggles to escape the drudgery of real life. But is that all there is to this amazingly multifaceted medium?
The fact that cinema is the youngest and the most modern of art forms forever changing shape and constantly evolving is eloquently underlined by lyricist Swanand Kirkire in the film?s lively musical prelude, Lo aaya aaya aaya main hoon movie madaari. But that spirit isn?t wholly reflected in the films that follow.
To their credit, in the end credits or anywhere else, the filmmakers do not make the claim that Bombay Talkies is a tribute to one hundred years of Indian cinema as a whole.
As the title suggests, the film recognizes only a single strand of the vast diversity that the cinema of this vast subcontinent represents and stops at ?celebrating 100 years of cinema in our lives?.
It is only Banerjee?s short film that seeks to penetrate the heart of the raconteur?s art through the dawn-to-nightfall story of an ordinary man who stumbles upon extraordinary magic in his life, if only for a brief moment, when he strays into a film shoot after a failed job hunt and is roped in for a bit part.
Loosely adapted from a short story by Satyajit Ray (Potol Babu, Film Star), the film is set in a soul-sapping Mumbai where a one-time folk actor from Sangli cannot even find the inspiration to create a simple story that can perk up his listless young daughter.
When the man does rediscover his inner self, Dibakar Banerjee and his lead actor, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, turn the last few minutes of the segment into an exhilarating exhibition of the pure joy of mime and music, extracting every ounce of energy from silent hand and body gestures as the father transmits the excitement of the moment to his entranced daughter.
The scene plays out to the accompaniment of a soulful instrumental rendition of a lilting Tagore song (Tobu mone rekho), which roughly translates as ?even so, remember me if I stray far away; remember me even if old love is suppressed by the mesh of a new affection?.
Nostalgia, poignance and the depth of the human imagination all gently spring forth from this construct ? it becomes a perfect summation of the magic of storytelling and instantly imprints itself on the mind. Nawazuddin is a marvel, a master of mimetic minimalism.
Such moments of epiphany are rare in Bombay Talkies. One is left with the feeling that a once-in-a-century cinematic experiment should have had more heart and heft.
But do not let that put you off. In encapsulating the dreams, disappointments, falsehoods, flashes of truth, elements of emotional artifice and inescapable realities of life, these four stories, each distinct in emotional timbre and visual feel, do present, within their limited ambit, a range of cinematic expressions that are in themselves laudable.

Cosmic distance record 'broken'
By Jonathan Amos
Science correspondent, BBC News
- Published
A cataclysmic explosion of a huge star near the edge of the observable Universe may be the most distant single object yet spied by a telescope.
Scientists believe the blast, which was detected by Nasa's Swift space observatory, occurred a mere 520 million years after the Big Bang.
This means its light has taken a staggering 13.14 billion years to reach Earth.
Details of the discovery will appear shortly in the Astrophysical Journal.
The event, which was picked up by Swift in April 2009, is referred to by astronomers using the designation GRB 090429B.
The "GRB" stands for "gamma-ray burst" - a sudden pulse of very high-energy light that the telescope is tuned to find on the sky.
These bursts are usually associated with extremely violent processes, such as the end-of-life collapse of giant stars.
"It would have been a huge star, perhaps 30 times the mass of our Sun," said lead researcher Dr Antonino Cucchiara from the University of California, Berkeley.
"We do not have enough information to claim this was one of the so-called 'Population III" stars, which are the very first generation of stars in the Universe. But certainly we are in the earliest phases of star formation," he told BBC News.
Swift, as its name implies, has to act quickly to catch gamma-ray flashes because they will register for only a few minutes.
Record breaker
Fortunately, an afterglow at longer wavelengths will persist sometimes for days, which allows follow-up observations by other telescopes that can then determine distance.
It was this afterglow analysis that established another burst in the week previous to GRB 090429B to be at a separation from Earth of 13.04 billion light-years, making it temporarily the "most distant object in the Universe".
This other event (GRB 090423) was reported fairly soon after its occurrence, but it has taken astronomers two years to come back with a confident assessment that an even greater expanse lies between Earth and GRB 090429B.
There are other competing candidates for the title of "most distant object". Hubble, for example, was given much more powerful instruments during its final astronaut servicing mission in 2009, and teams working on new images from the famous space telescope have seen galaxies that look not far short of GRB 090429B - and potentially even further out.
It should be stated, of course, that in these sorts of observations, there is always a degree of uncertainty.
Hubble's targets were galaxies - collections of stars; and GRB 090429B is the signature of a single event, a single star. So, in that sense, it might be considered apart.
Scientists are very keen to probe these great distances because they will learn how the early Universe evolved, and that will help them explain why the cosmos looks the way it does now.
They are particularly keen to trace the very first populations of stars. These hot, blue giants would have grown out of the cold neutral gas that pervaded the young cosmos.
Brilliant but brief
These behemoths would have burnt brilliant but brief lives, producing the very first heavy elements.
Their intense ultra-violet light would also have "fried" the neutral gas around them - ripping electrons off atoms - to produce the diffuse intergalactic plasma we still detect between nearby stars today.
So, apart from its status as a potential record-breaker, GRB 090429B is of intense interest because it is embedded directly in this time period - the "epoch of re-ionisation", as astronomers call it.
Whether GRB 090429B was one of the very first stars to shine in the Universe is doubtful, as Dr Cucchiara states. There may be several generations before it.
But Swift will keep looking, and it is ideally suited for the purpose, explains co-researcher Dr Paul O'Brien from the University of Leicester, UK.
"By finding the most distant objects we get an estimate, of course, of when the first objects formed," he told BBC News. "But then if you can find a location on the sky - in this case of a single star - you can go and look for the galaxy this object is presumably in, and you can start to study the very first galaxies.
"Because gamma-rays can get right through dust, this gives you a good, unbiased way of finding those first galaxies. One could just find very bright galaxies, whereas Swift means we can find the smaller galaxies, too. It was all of these objects that grew up to form the Universe we see around us today. If you think in terms of a human lifespan, it's about understanding what the Universe was like as a toddler."
The Swift mission was launched in 2004. It is a US space agency-managed venture but has a big UK and Italian contribution.
Britain's major input has been to provide an X-ray camera and the satellite's Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope.

http://www.mobileapptelligence.com – When you think about the digital roadmap for a company, there are many questions that will invade your mind. Questions like what has to be done and when the correct time to do the task, but the ultimate factor that matters is the needs of the customers and the need of the business to achieve the customer's needs. As far as mobility solutions are concerned, there are two clear ways to approach 1. Business Mobile Application Development 2. Responsive Website Design
Hire Mobile Application Development Company – Get a Project Quote – http://www.mobileapptelligence.com/enquiry.html
When your organization has a varied range of functionalities and diversified set of user-journey, responsive web would be the idle choice. A responsive web design that would be developed on a one code base and has the capability to work on a number of devices would be the answer for your question. Responsive web is an excellent choice at the acquisition stage too, when the user interacts with the brand and the service over a number of devices to reach a conclusion. When you are already on the board, there will be a number of tasks that has to be accomplished and the toughest task may get solved through transition from a mobile to a desktop. Implementing a responsive website may take care of all these and act as an excellent foundation for the digital offering of any company.
A native mobile application would be worthy when the business consists of a set of user journey, functionalities and task. Going by the history of the successful applications, they have a specific function to accomplish and this is the main reason for users downloading them and getting into a regular interaction. The ability to identify the functionalities helps in getting the service offered by the business closer to the users. Native applications fall in place through regular interaction and access to the offline content and an excellent link between the organizational app and the organizational hardware.
The major idea behind digital deployment is the enhancement of the interaction between the customer's interaction with the business and its products and services. But it would be unfair when you just limit these interactions to the external customers, your internal customers should also be taken into consideration. The achievement of the effective balance of the digital roadmap should be accomplished through end-end integration, which should involve the business process along with the data system. There should be a smooth integration between the internal work-flow and reporting and the websites and apps that faces the external users. This would helps in empowering the internal clients, your staff in the same way as your external customers.
Depicting the scenario with the help of an example would be an excellent idea.
1) Responsive web and new customer
A new customer would require help for financial planning, leading to them searching for financial consultant by using phone, tablets and laptops
After finalizing a consultancy, a new customer would login using the providers website and would make the short and long term planning
2) Responsive website and its usage by internal team
This is a safe portal, where the source of information is consultant's native app and websites that are customer facing
There are various tasks, which are monitored and later assigned
After the completion of the task, the output is sent to the customer and consultant
Reports are made by the management with the help of the websites based on internal workflows and the behavior exhibited by the customers. This helps in driving of the digital and commercial strategy
3) Native app usage by long term customer
A long term customer would look for features like native application along with immediate update or alerts regarding the financial situation they are facing
One tap appointment setting and quick integration to the calendar app would be effective in this case
4) Native app and its usage for financial consulting
A sales focused app would help the consultant to get information about every customer and have the data available at their finger tip
The app would be efficient in downloading and storing of information and help in smooth connectivity during the meetings
Live modeling of the customers data helps in decision capturing with the help of the app and send the data to the office one the connectivity is available
Integration of calendar app helps in smooth handling of calendar settings
Thus article states that mobile application development and responsive website design, both are of great importance for growing enterprises.
Mobile App Usage Stats 2015
According to a leading mobile analytics firm, mobile app usage continued to see significant growth year on year, with overall mobile app usage up by 72.5%. Top mobile app categories including shopping, utilities & productivity and messaging also saw more than 300% growth. With 51% of time spent on mobile devices in comparison to 42% on desktops / laptops by end users in United States, global companies are partnering mobile application development companies to build mobile apps, which keep them ahead of curve.

Fairfield woman faces new drug charge in hubby-handcuffing case
BRIDGEPORT -- A new charge has been filed against a Fairfield woman accused of handcuffing her husband to herself to prevent him from leaving her.
Investigators now say that Helen Sun drugged her husband's Gatorade before the March incident.
Sun, meanwhile, is believed to currently be in California, where her husband moved following her arrest, according to police sources.
The 38-year-old was charged Wednesday with illegal distribution of a controlled substance. The charge is in addition to the pending charges of second-degree assault, third-degree assault, first-degree unlawful restraint, reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct. She is scheduled to appear Oct. 26 in Superior Court.
On March 23, Sun was arrested at the Tunxis Hill Road home in Fairfield that she owned with her husband, Robert Drawbaugh, after police had to break down the door to free Drawbaugh, who was screaming for help.
Officers found the couple in the master bedroom, handcuffed to each other.
While Drawbaugh slept, police said, Sun changed the lock on the bedroom door so that it locked from the outside, and took her husband's cell phone and wallet. She then used handcuffs that she had purchased via the Internet to shackle her husband.
When Sun's husband awoke and discovered that he had been handcuffed to her, police said she replied: "You slept all day today now this is what we are going to do for the next day."
When Drawbaugh tried to escape, Sun bit him on the forehead, arms and chest, police said. Officers at the scene said they saw bite marks on Drawbaugh's body.
The Gatorade that Sun gave her husband to drink before she handcuffed him contained a controlled-substance, police said this week.
In a statement released Wednesday, Drawbaugh had told investigators his wife had previously assaulted him prior to the March handcuffing. Sun had pushed him down stairs, smashed his head into a concrete wall, broke a guitar over his head, choked him nearly unconscious and beat him over the head with a metal table leg, according to the statement.
The couple, married eight years, separated last December, but got back together after Sun began calling regularly and promising to change her ways, according to the statement. The couple spent several days together in Kennebunkport, Maine, and then resettled in their Fairfield home.

The Choice (and remember, death is not an option):
The White Sox making a trade aimed at reducing payroll or the White Sox trading a starting pitcher they couldn't afford to trade?
Sox general manager Kenny Williams said Wednesday's deal sending starter Edwin Jackson and third baseman Mark Teahen to Toronto for reliever Jason Frasor and minor-league arm Zach Stewart was partially intended "to make a dent in the payroll.''
Wait, isn't that what "All In'' is all about? Yeesh.
Getting rid of the unproductive millions that Teahen would cost is a good move. But getting rid of of the innings that Jackson could eat isn't, especially when
and what's more, he can't throw even that many pitches without five days' rest.
Right now,
also known as a mess. They have tailored every part of their rotiation to Peavy, which made Jackson untradeable, and then they traded him. Excuse me?
Nothing against Frasor. He's a terrific addition to a good bullpen that is about to die under the weight of Peavy's near-useless role. Maybe Williams adds another starter or adds another reliever and makes a starter out of someone in the pen. It seems as if he has to make such a move if a team that used to be "All In'' is going to at least fake being a contender.
Once you get past the curious pitching moves, the Sox did something about two months too late: told Alex Rios to take a seat and stay there.
Alejandro De Aza was promoted to the big club and plopped in the starting lineup in center, where Rios used to be good. Supposedly, this is not a one-game thing with the overpaid, underperforming, defensively dogbreath Rios. But if De Aza stinks, who knows.
Latest Sports
The Sox have needed this move for a while, back when Dayan Viciedo was healthy. Interesting how the Sox finally promote a minor-league outfielder at a time when their most explosive minor-league hitter is hurt. I don't get it. Maybe I'm imagining a conspiracy --- no, wait, I
imagining a conspiracy, but I can't connect all the dots.
Which kind of sums up my take on the moves the Sox made Wednesday morning.

Prynhawn bob. I'm Andy Sherman, an Assistant Project Officer with the Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeology Trust. For a large part of the day I've been working on a Written Scheme of Investigation or WSI. This is a document that sets out what sort of work needs to be conducted on a site (evaluations, watching-briefs, building recordings etc) and how that work should be carried out, they are often attached to planning applications by curatorial archaeologists. The WSI gives the client and the curatorial archaeologists confidence that the site will be excavated properly and gives the field archaeologists doing the digging an idea of the archaeology, geology and history of the site and surrounding area. The site I've been looking at today is an early 18th century farmhouse, which is a Grade II Listed Building and roughly 500m away from a deserted medieval village. So the archaeologists digging here can hopefully expect to find lots of medieval remains as well as recording any changes to the structure of the building itself during it's renovation.
Sitting behind a desk is not what I thought I'd be doing when I first became an archaeologist, having watched one to many Indy films as a kid I expected my job to involve long days in the field, discovering the exciting remains of long lost civilisations and being chased by angry tribesmen. And to be fair the first few years of my job were like that, but as I've got older and my knees have started to creek and my back has started to protest I look forward to odd day in the office pouring over old maps and documents.
Talking of old documents I've also been fielding phone calls from journalists about a site I was excavating in the centre of Swansea earlier in the year. While working on site we uncovered a stash of job application letters in a basement. The letters were written in 1931 and are all from young women, aged between 15 and a half and 21, applying for the position of junior clerk, advertised in a local newspaper. We're keen to track-down the relatives or even the applicants themselves so have been in touch with various journalists. Today they've been getting back in touch wanting extra photographs and quotes.
The last job I need to do before heading for a Friday pint is start a new desk-based assessment for a development in Port Talbot.

Hello everyone. I come seeking answers to questions that I do not know how to phrase correctly. So, I think I shall just start at... well, the beginning. I have identity issues, as I'm sure the forum tag probably suggests, but I'll try my best to be specific, so that the advice that anyone may be able to give me will be more helpful. My apologies in advance if this ends up being a very long post.
A little while ago, I met the girl 'of my dreams'. I know it sounds cliche, but I believe she is the girl I was supposed to be with for the rest of my life.
For the greater portion of my short life (I am 20, she is 22), I have lived without God, without religion. My life has to this point been a very happy one. I have been a good person, very helpful to those in my community and do not drink, smoke or fornicate. In return for doing none of these bad things and being a good person, I have been very lucky when I get into a jam, or have problems that I do not know how to solve. As a result, I have never felt a need or a pull to choose a religion and pray to God.
The girl, however, is a Muslim.
From what I know about the rules Muslims abide by, she is not even supposed to speak to me on a personal level, but rather about work or school. This, yet I wish for her hand in marriage some day when I have the means to sustain the both of us.
Now that my personal history is out of the way, I have so very many questions for those who frequent this forum... it is hard to know where to begin, so I will ask this and hope for some response.
I am afraid that if I begin to practice Islam, it will be for a woman and not for myself and certainly not for God. I am afraid that if I do not practice Islam, she and I can never be together. What shall I do?
I have thought about asking God for a sign, or guidance, but I do not even know how to pray as a Muslim, or whether or not I need to be Muslim first before I can pray to Him, and I am reluctant to ask her.
Finally, if I've posted this on the wrong forum, I want to apologize in advance. There were no posts here to tell me what sort of content goes here, and so I just too a chance.

Auzubillahi minash shaitan ir rajeem,
Bismillah ir rehman ir rahim,
Hello Dear Seeker,
It could be that this girl is your means to draw close to your Creator. You may begin with the desire to know this girl and her religion, and end up worshiping her Lord (who is technically your Lord as well) in the manner He is worthy of worship.
He is the one who turns the hearts, so be hopeful and seek the guidance in a proper manner. For now this would be best for you.
You can Pray to God as anyone, Muslim or not. He is the Creator and Sustainer of all. Prayers are turned to Him, and answered from Him alone.
Investigate islam, ask questions, ask about resources, etc. Seek to understand why muslims pray the way they do, before you want to pray like them.
This is submission to God. A muslim takes the means to deal with the issues in his life, and at the same time, relies not on the means but the will and power of God, to deliver him to success.
Glory be to Allah, you have the right attitude. You will be guided, if He so wills.
Maa salaama,

Listen, remember this; God is one God and He is
the father of Jesus Christ our Savior. You are concern bout getting or not
getting married to a women that obviously is the opposite to your believe and
must certain to my believe to. You are to young, nonetheless, you are a good
man and a good Christian. Now, I can tell you this, do not married a women that
you will have to follow her to your believes and that is not possible. God the
Almighty is given me the opportunity to tell you to run from that relationship
due to that you will be not be happy. Now if you do that, you will have to
comply with a religion that do things in a very opposite way to our believes. You
must think twice and not disregard this my advice. I truly believe you must
make a stop and re-think bout what are you about to do; that will cost your
future forever, and nothing can change it once you are in that religion. Please
forgive if I sound like racist, but I am not, I am just telling you what
is in my heart. Please pray to God the Almighty not to some god where you must
follow regardless you want or doesn�t.

Frog Meadow Farm B&B and Massage Oasis for Men will once again host the annual barbecue and garden party fundraiser on Saturday, July 21, 2012 from 3 to 8pm. All proceeds benefit the AIDS Project of Southern Vermont's Men's Program which provides prevention services as well as direct services to those whose lives are affected by HIV/AIDS.
An important part of the local community for many years, The Men's program has recently suffered a major setback following the elimination of its funding due to policy changes at the federal level. Grass roots efforts and private donations are being implemented to sustain the program that is vital to the lives of so many. As a result this year'sfundraiser is more important than ever.
This much anticipated event of the summer season is expected to draw close to two hundred men from the region and the neighboring cities. Everyone is invited to come and enjoy the lovely and secluded natural environment of Frog Meadow Farm's 63 private acres, including the beautiful gardens, hiking trails and swimming pond (pack a towel!).
There will be croquet, bocci, and other lawn games to enjoy. In addition, raffle tickets will be available the day of the event for all kinds of goodies. A suggested $35 donation includes a valuable door prize drawing and provides access to the grounds and a full barbecue meal (vegetarian option available).
For those unable to attend, donations are very much appreciated. As Frog Meadow Farm does not have a liquor license, no alcohol will be provided, however, you are welcome to bring your own beverage of choice.
Note that the rain date for the event is Sunday July 22

Glitter. Ultra fine glitter. Ultra fine glitter that I am sure will be making the carpet sparkly for weeks.
With a toddler in the house, you'd think she would have been involved in creating this mess, right? Yeah, that sounds good. Let's just say she is responsible and it's not at all the fault of her mother who did not screw the lid on. Oh well...
On a different note, Charlotte is feeling much better. The fever was completely gone on Tuesday. Now she just has a flemmmy cough (you wanted that description, didn't you?). I bought a warm vaporizer for her room and she didn't cough much at all through the night last night. She's in there now and I hear a few coughs, but hopefully they'll subside once the steam gets going. But as she is getting better, Jared and I both feel some sickness coming on. So far my symptoms are just lots of sinus pressure and achiness, but Jared has those along with a sore throat, and a slight runny nose and cough. We'll all be glad when this cold season is over and done with!

If Only Hugs and Kisses Could Heal
Last night as we were about to head out the door for our home Bible study, we noticed how hot Charlotte felt. I checked her temperature and it was at 104 degrees! Learning from my last phone call to the pediatrician where she made me feel like an idiot, I didn't call right away. I actually took Charlotte in for a well check last week so I was able to ask her doctor, "If she's running a fever, at what point do I need to call the office or take her to the ER?". She told me that fevers are the most common reason for phone calls and said that if after she has been given some Motrin or Tylenol and the fever goes down but she's still not acting normal, that is a sign to call. And if the fever gets to 105, a trip the ER would be necessary. So, armed with this little tidbit of information, I gave Charlotte the Motrin and waited. She seemed much better by bedtime and I thought we were in the clear. But she woke up very unhappy around 10:30 so I took her temp aggain and it had gone up to 104.2. It had been six hours since I first gave her the medicine so I gave her some more and put her back to bed. She slept pretty well, waking up a couple times but going back to sleep within a minute or two. This morning the fever was down to 101.6 and she seems like she's feeling better, other than a little cough. I made a huge pot of chicken noodle soup last week so I'll take some of that out of the freezer for her to have for lunch.
I wish that our hugs and kisses could heal. If that were the case she wouldn't know what it was like to be sick. In the meantime, we get lots of cuddles and snuggles in return. The only bright side to her being sick.

Still No Heat...
Well the repair man came and went and we still have no heat. He'll be back on Monday with a motor (luckily it's still under warranty, so we'll only have to pay for the labor). We all stayed plenty warm last night and today turned out to be a beautiful day so we were able to get a lot done around the house ("we" means "Jared" of course. Charlotte and I shopped:). The next two nights aren't supposed to be as cold as it was last night, but we'll most likely spend the evenings huddled in front of the fire. So cozy... :)

Do You Know...
...what it means when the heater makes a squealling noise, then after you turn it off and turn it back on again, it won't really come on but will make an irritating whirring noise? Then after you flip the breaker and try turning it on, you smell something burning in the back bedrooms?
We don't know what it means, but we're pretty sure that it's a sign that something isn't working quite right and figure it's best if the heater stays off tonight. No problem, you know, since it's only getting down into the 30s! Someone please tell Al Gore that his global warming plans have gone awry.
Anyway, Charlotte is sleeping soundly in the pack & play in our bedroom, with the ceramic heater we bought at that cute little shop called "Wal-Mart" in Clayton going full blast. Last weekend at the cabin I actually had to turn it down because it was getting the bedroom too warm so we should stay nice and toasty tonight.
Jared is building a fire in the fireplace to take the chill off the living room, and I think I'll make us each a cup of hot chocolate (thanks to a yummy mix my Aunt Darleen made!). We even have mini marshmallows to put in it :) Hello, calories!
We have someone coming out to look at it tomorrow morning. The guy on the phone thinks it is a broken motor, but said the motors aren't standard, and though they do have a few different models, it might be something that can't be fixed until Monday. So tomorrow while Jared waits for them to come by and work their magic (I'm being optimistic), he will be splitting some wood in case it can't be fixed until Monday, and Charlotte and I will be riding around in the warm van checking out the local yard sales :) There are some great bargains out there calling my name!

Dancing Queen
I'm sitting on the couch looking through some blogs, and I have some music playing in the background. And Charlotte was playing by herself with her toys, then all of a sudden got up and started "dancing". Her dancing consists of marching in place, spinning in circles (then falling over from getting dizzy), and bouncing (usually just the top half of her body, so she looks like she's saying "hello" to a room full of Japanese people). Seriously, it's about the cutest and funniest thing I've ever seen. I'll try to get it on video sometime to share with you. It was one of those moments that I hope I never forget.
Now I smell something not so sweet... Diaper duty calls...

Last Week in Pictures
Here is a recap over the past week, in pictures... and some words.
Jared had to work late one day last week and he wasn't going to be able to make it home in time to see Charlotte and read to her before bedtime, so we went to meet him for dinner and afterwards went up to his office so he and Charlotte could have their story time.
We were headed up to Atlanta on Friday afternoon, so I stopped by the library beforehand to pick up some books on CD to listen to on the ride up there. (Wishful thinking. Riding with Charlotte in the van does not create the best environment for following a story line. It is, however, quite conducive for an environment in which one would like to pull their hair out.) We stopped by the children's library for a little bit for Charlotte to play while we waited on Jared to finish a few things up at work.
After climbing on the big alligator, Charlotte did some coloring...
Then I noticed that she was hoarding the crayons.
We stayed with Dusty & Arin on Friday night. We woke up on Saturday morning, earlier than any of us would have liked since we were up chatting until midnight, and Arin made us a delicious breakfast. Then for lunch, we went to our favorite little restaurant, Penang. Penang is the name of the island where Jared's parents lived while they were missionaries and where Jared proposed to me (awww!). They serve two of our favorite dishes there, roti canai and chicken satay. We've been able to recreate the satay pretty well, but have not been successful at all in making the roti. So whenever we go to Atlanta, a trip to Penang is essential. Here are Ella and Charlotte at the Penang, catching up on some gossip.
From there, Jared, Charlotte and I headed north toward Clayton, GA, where his parents own a cabin that his dad has been building over the past few years. We stopped at the Tallulah Overlook and saw the amazing view.
Charlotte and Jared enjoyed the quick break.
This was the cutest, most quaint little country bumpkin of a town. The gift shop sold RC Colas and Moonpies. It doesn't get more southern than that. The folks were real nice too. We made a friend. Kristina, I gave him your number ;)
We had to make a stop to get some essentials for the cabin that we had forgotten to bring with us, namely a ceramic heater. We stopped at a local shop that we also found some other things at that we thought would be useful. If you're ever in the Clayton area, you'll have to make time for a trip to a place called "Wal-Mart". Great stuff at reasonable prices with that small town charm.
[Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of the Wal-Mart]
We finally made it to the cabin and had to bundle up to go for a walk to the creek.
Then we walked to the creek.
Then it started to get dark so we headed inside and hunkered down for the cold night that would be ahead of us.
Sometimes it's just nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of the real world and enjoy a more primitive life. You know, the kind where you have a laptop but no access to the internet.
[Sidenote: That little black beauty on my lap is named Lucy. I am currently typing away on Lucy right now. Some people may find it odd to name your computer, but after the hassle that we went through to buy her, we thought she deserved a name (and a gender designation). It took countless trips to about five different stores, I don't know how many phone calls, tons of checking online and several headaches and letdowns before we finally found her and were able to purchase her. Since we don't have cable, we figured another computer would be helpful since we'd most likely be on the internet more and only had one computer.]
On Sunday morning we hiked down to the waterfall.
Here's a view of the cabin from the other side of the creek.
Charlotte did not quite understand the adventure of it all. "For real, Dad, what are we doing?"
After we packed everything up, went went to the Dillard House for lunch. The food was incredible and there was SO much of it. You don't order from a menu there, they just bring you a little bit of everything. Three types of meats, biscuits and rolls, and I'd say at least 8 vegetabls. We stuffed ourselves completely but still had more than half of the food left over. Here is the view from the Dillard House.
They also have a little farm at the Dillard House so we took Charlotte over to see the animals. She liked the goat.
And the sheep.
That's a bunch of bull.
We then went to some little antique shops near the Dillard House. Jared tolerated it wonderfully as I wanted to walk through the few we stopped in. Charlotte even made a friend in one of the shops.
Then we headed back to spend another evening in Atlanta. We went to the park with Cyrl, a friend of Dusty & Arin's and let the kids play on the playground. The kids were all in bed shortly after we got home and we had a good time listening to Cyrl tell stories of his family and travels. Some of his stories would make for a perfect Tyler Perry movie. On Monday morning, we said goodbye to everyone. Anson was so sweet and almost cried when we left. That just melts my heart! We met Jared's pastor from his church in Atlanta and his wife and son for breakfast and had a great time catching up with them.
[No picture for these events, but get a mental picture of Dusty doing an impersonation of a hyper-Calvinist (as in a Calvinist who has had too much sugar:). Maybe it's one of those "You had to be there" moments, but it was hilarious!]
After breakfast, we headed south for the 5 1/2 hour drive home. Well, it should have been 5 1/2 hours, but it turned into much longer than that. We were stuck on the interstate for about 45 minutes because of a bad accident that was about 1/4 mile ahead of us. And we made many more stops on the way down than we did on the way up to avoid having as fussy of a child in the back seat. She was a happy camper when we let her run around in the van while the van was parked on I-75!
And yesterday, Charlotte and I made a trip over to Gainesville to help with an event called "Let's Eat Cake!" It was a fundraiser put on by MasterPiece Weddings, the wedding and event planning firm I did my internship with. It was an all-you-can-eat cake buffet that benefitted St. Jude's Children Hospital. I'm not sure how much money was raised, but the turn-out was fantastic (they even ran out of tickets! What a great problem to have!) and the cakes were amazing. Kerry Vincent, one of the judges from the Food Network cake challenges (the really harsh one with the foreign accent that always wears the headband) was a judge and I got to shake her hand! I even rode in the elevator with her to show her where the judges were meeting. Yeah, I'm a big deal now... But even better than, I got to see Melissa, who coordinated the whole shin-dig, and Jamie, a friend from high school and my roommate from college! One of the most fun parts of the whole evening was the photo booth they had set up at the event. Charlotte and I had some pictures made.
Yes, I just took a picture of the pictures. We didn't get in till almost 10 last night and I'm pooped!

Charlotte's Growth Chart
Charlotte finally has a growth chart! I started it a couple weeks ago and it is finally finished and hanging in her room. It's super fancy. I'm talking a hot-glued hem and everything. Yeah, we roll high class around here. Charlotte wasn't a huge fan of standing still long enough for me to get an accurate measurement, so as best I can tell, she's about 2'3.75" . Such a big girl :)
At first, it seemed like she would stand still long enough for me to get a good measurement Then she high-tailed it into the closet
And shut us out
Not cooperating
Making sure I give her every inch she deserves
"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever! Amen." 2 Peter 3:18
In the perfect world, I would have ironed it before I hung it up. I guess Heaven is the perfect world, so I'm thinking all clothes there are wrinkle-free. Shoot, I bet you don't even have to do laundry in Heaven!
In other news, she has realized that she can open up the piano cover just enough to make some "joyful noise".
And the most recent pasttime in the Rollins home (a "recent pasttime"? Is that possible? In the Rollins home, yes it is.)- Dragging a clothes basket (with her in it, of course), across the floor as fast as possible. The squeals that ensue are just hilarious.

Gavin Rollins for City Council, Seat 1
Jared's brother, Gavin, is running for Keystone Heights City Council, Seat 1. I'm pretty sure that anyone who lives in Keystone and reads this blog already knows Gavin, but it doesn't hurt to spread the word, just in case. He has a democrat running against him so we're doing all we can to get his name out there. For more information, visit his website www.gavinrollins.com
Gavin has Charlotte's vote!

Little Joys
This may look like an ordinary photo of a cute little
baby toddler playing in her exersaucer, but oh, it is so much more than that. As I was sitting on the couch with my back turned to her, she managed to climb in there all by herself. I'm still not sure how she managed it, but you can see that she doesn't care to be bothered with things like sitting in frontwards. After this picture was taken I raised the height of the exersaucer to try to prevent any more secret entrances into the toy. I'm scared she'll fall in head first and hurt herself. Charlotte, of course, did not appreciate my concern for her safety. She only sees that now she cannot climb into it on her own and is not amused by this change. Mean Mommy.
Part of yesterday's breakfast was chocolate chip muffins. Maybe we'll save those for when she's a little older and less of a messy eater. When does that happen, by the way?
Last night Jared tore off a few pieces of his (gourmet) grilled cheese to give to Charlotte. She didn't want to eat them, but she thought starting a collection of them would be nice so she began lining them up on the desk.
This picture is from about a week or so ago when we peeked in on her before we headed to bed. Notice the Cross tightly wrapped in her arms. A new lovey that she has is a blanket that Mandy & Aunt Diane gave her for her birthday. It's soft and cuddly and pink and gets carried around the house with her Cross. She's still a little under the weather with a stuffy nose and cough, so she's cuddlier than usual. Cuddlier? Sure, that's a word.
And this picture is from this past Sunday when we were working in the nursery. Though she's been too big for them for quite some time, Charlotte loves the infant seats. She was up late on Saturday night and was extra sleepy on Sunday morning, so she spent a few minutes just bouncing in the seat.
She has been enjoying her books more and more these days. She'll actually sit still for a few minutes (sometimes), so we've started reading to her more. Jared really enjoys the time of reading to her before bedtime. They read for a few minutes, then turn the lights out and he sings a few songs to her, then puts her in her crib. She loves it. A few days ago she was playing in her room, then came into the office where Jared was, and held up the book in her hands to him. Seriously, how sweet is that?! This picture was taken just a few minutes ago. She climbed up into the chair where her Daddy reads to her with the book he reads from each night.

Hello, Dark Ages
We are officially in the Dark Ages. We have been planning this transition for several months and have finally done it. We, Jared and Brittany Rollins, TV addicts and couch potatoes, have cancelled cable. **GASP!** We realized that we just spent too much time in front of the TV. It was a crutch to lean on when procrastinating getting things done. It had become almost necessary to have on if for nothing else than "background noise" during the day. Charlotte would get distracted from her play and become fixed on whatever was on the screen. We tried limiting the amount we watched, even saying we would go one day a week without it. But that didn't work so well. So we decided we needed to just get rid of it.
We're in Day Three of the Dark Ages. So far, we all seem to have kept our sanity and have not yet died of boredom. Yet... I'm not 100% convinced that the death-inducing boredom won't come. But so far, we're surviving. [Insert clip of Destiny's Child song "Survivor" here... "I'm a survivor, I'm not gonna give up..."]. We've done some organizing and cleaning, some preparations for the tax return, and lots of reading. Lots and lots of reading. We're going to be mensa geniuses before long with all the reading we're doing. (That may be a slight exaggeration... but only slightly).
But in full and honest disclosure, I must share that we are planning to have cable hooked up again in August. We have discussed the matter and decided that in seven months time, we will have been able to read all of the great American classics and solved many of the economic and social problems that plague our country. The fact that August is when the college football season revs up again is purely coincidental.
And 'lest you think we will be completely without media and entertainment of the technological form, some of our favorite shows, including The Office, Monk, and Psych, air full episodes online!

With less than a week until opening day, here's my predictions for the playoffs and the major awards as well. I already gave my division winners in each division preview post, but here's a recap:
NL: San Francisco, Milwaukee, Philadelphia
AL: Texas, Minnesota, Boston
My two wild card predictions are Atlanta and Tampa Bay. As a result, here's my playoff matchups:
Atlanta vs. San Francisco
Milwaukee vs. Philadelphia
Tampa Bay vs. Minnesota
Texas vs. Boston
I think that San Francisco and Philadelphia will both just have too much pitching not to advance in these matchups, and will face each other in the NL Championship. On the other side, I think that Tampa and Boston will be the top two teams overall in the league, and will advance to the AL Championship
Tampa Bay vs. Boston
San Francisco vs. Philadelphia
In the AL Championship, I think that the Boston lineup will be just too much for Tampa, despite potential flaws in the Boston pitching staff. In the National League, the addition of a 4th ace by the Phillies may be too much for the Giants, but it will definitely be a series that is built around pitching.
Boston vs. Philadelphia
In what appears likely to be the top offensive team facing off against one of the best pitching staffs in recent memory, I think that Philadelphia would likely defeat Boston. Off the top of my head guess makes me think it will take 6 games.
Awards Predictions
Here's my picks for the major awards:
AL Rookie of the Year: Jeremy Hellickson
NL Rookie of the Year: Brandon Belt
AL Cy Young Award: Jon Lester
NL Cy Young Award: Roy Halladay
AL Most Valuable Player: Evan Longoria
NL Most Valuable Player: Ryan Braun
AL Manager of the Year: Joe Maddon
NL Manager of the Year: Ron Roenicke

Marlborough woman charged with stabbing house guest
Police: Victim stabbed multiple times
A Marlborough woman was charged with assault and battery on Saturday after police said she stabbed her house guest.
Sgt. Richard McDevitt told the Metro West Daily News that a 37-year-old woman had been staying at the Broad Street apartment of Lisa Sharog, 50. Officers were called to Sharog's apartment after the victim was stabbed multiple times following an argument.
The victim had wounds to her arms and legs, as well as a cut on her right ear and a bite on her right shoulder, McDevitt said.
"There was an argument about how long the victim was staying there," said McDevitt. "(Sharog) said the woman could only stay one night and she wanted her out."
McDevitt said the two women did not appear to have any kind of relationship.
Sharog was taken into custody and charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, a knife.

Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Cinderella. She lived with her step mother and two step sisters. The step mother and sisters were conceited and bad tempered. They treated Cinderella very badly. Her step mother made Cinderella do the hardest works in the house; such as scrubbing the floor, cleaning the pot and pan and preparing the food for the family. The two step sisters, on the other hand, did not work about the house. Their mother gave them many handsome dresses to wear. One day, the two step sister received an invitation to the ball that the king's son was going to give at the palace. They were excited about this and spent so much time choosing the dresses they would wear. At last, the day of the ball came, and away went the sisters to it. Cinderella could not help crying after they had left. "Why are crying, Cinderella?" a voice asked. She looked up and saw her fairy godmother standing beside her, "because I want so much to go to the ball" said Cinderella. "Well" said the godmother,"you've been such a cheerful, hardworking, uncomplaining girl that I am going to see that you do go to the ball". Magically, the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine coach and mice into a coachman and two footmen. Her godmother tapped Cinderella's raged dress with her wand, and it became a beautiful ball gown. Then she gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers. "Now, Cinderella", she said; "You must leave before midnight". Then away she drove in her beautiful coach. Cinderella was having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and again with the king's son. Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve, she ran toward the door as quickly as she could. In her hurry, one of her glass slipper was left behind. A few days later, the king' son proclaimed that he would marry the girl whose feet fitted the glass slipper. Her step sisters tried on the slipper but it was too small for them, no matter how hard they squeezed their toes into it. In the end, the king's page let Cinderella try on the slipper. She stuck out her foot and the page slipped the slipper on. It fitted perfectly. Finally, she was driven to the palace. The king's son was overjoyed to see her again. They were married and live happily ever after. Notes on Generic Structure of Narrative Text Orientation: it means to introduce the participants or the characters of the story with the time and place set. Orientation actually exists in every text type though it has different term. In this story, the first paragraph is clearly seen to introduce the participants of the Cinderella Story. They were Cinderella her self as the main character of the story, her step mother which treated Cinderella badly, and her steps sister which supported her mother to make Cinderella was treated very badly. Cinderella was introduced as a hero in this story. She struggled against the bad treatment from her step mother and sisters. Complication: it is such the crisis of the story. If there is not the crisis, the story is not a narrative text. In a long story, the complication appears in several situations. It means that some time there is more then one complication. In this Cinderella story, we can see clearly that there are Major Complication and Minor Complication. The second paragraph is the major complication of this Cinderella story. Cinderella got bad treatment from her stepmother. It is the bad crisis which drives into several minor complications which Cinderella has to overcome. Resolution: it is the final series of the events which happen in the story. The resolution can be good or bad. The point is that it has been accomplished by the characters. Like complication, there are Major Resolution and Minor Resolution. In the last paragraph, it is said that finally Cinderella lived happily. It is the happy resolution of the bad treatment.

Design Crowd Challenged Artists To Break The Bounds Of Classical Paintings, And Contestants Delivered (30 Pics)
Often when viewing great classical paintings, we perceive that they have a certain quality in them where the objects seem to pop. Have you ever wondered what it would look like if they really popped out of their frames and "spilled out" into the real world? Wonder no more.
The competitors at Design Crowd's open Photoshop contests took this idea and have stretched the bounds even further by popping the objects (subjects, to be precise) out of the frame altogether. Hence, this style of editing has a pretty self-explanatory name—"out of bounds." When we get bounds out of the way, the limitations of the painting seem, quite literally, boundless.

Disney Plus Mulan Fails to Make an Impact
Disney Plus's most anticipated movie of the year was Live-Action Mulan, the infamous remake of the 1998 version of the Disney classic Mulan. With a budget of almost $200 million and alot of hard work involved, the film release's expectations and excitement were at an all-time high. Disney's marketing team left no stone unturned in promoting the film throughout the world as Mulan was one of the most influential female protagonists in a Disney movie.
Mulan was known for her power and courage to take a step towards change and create a name for herself instead of becoming a burden for her family. She brought them honor but not through finding a compatible suitor, but through her bravery in fighting amongst the opposite gender when it was considered a taboo.
But did the real Mulan walk in the footsteps of the animated one? Did it create an impact as strong as the classic version, which people love and adore even after 23 years? Sadly, no. The live-Action Mulan was nothing like the 1998 Mulan because it was not supposed to be that way.
The old Chinese folklore inspired the Live-Action Mulan. The Balad of Mulan, which was different, more serious, and portrayed a much more feminist approach by eliminating any romantic or cartoonish elements or characters from the remake.
The elimination of the character of Mushu came as a surprise for all the die-hard Mulan fans who were anticipating the voice-over of Eddie Murphy in a better-animated dragon who is by Mulan's side, aiding in tough times. We did see a dragon, but it was a silent companion only coming in need. The remake also got rid of all the eventful songs which were hummed as we watched the animated version all the time.
Another setback was the mediocre release of Mulan during the Pandemic, which basically ruined the official March release. Mulan eventually made the screen on September 4 on Disney+ Premier Access, a pay-to-view for $30 across the US. In contrast, countries where Covid-19 was under control, saw a theater release like China. But that hardly made 50% of the total movie budget. Disney hoped to make some dollars in China by accurately depicting the Chinese culture and actors, but that didn't happen either.
Viewers with access to Disney+ also did not venture enough on the Premier Access service. What further disappointed the release was Mulan's availability on multiple torrents and platforms for free in HD quality on its release. VPN users worldwide watched the movie for free without paying a whopping amount of $30 for a single film, while the whole service along with other streaming services cost ⅓ of the price.
Live-Action Mulan was also under scrutiny for shooting in the Xinjiang, the region of China where Uighur Muslims were detained and imprisoned in concentration camps. This sparked outrage over the entire social media, where Muslims worldwide protested against the Chinese government's actions. Disney+ did not state an official apology on their platform, nor did they acknowledge their wrongdoings, probably to stay clear of the Chinese government's atrocity.
Meanwhile, even within China, Mulan failed to impact the Chinese audience as they have a much better take and approach to recreating any Chinese epic or myths. Their cinema is far more advanced in portraying their culture with local actors and a local production house. As we all know, China has a strict censorship policy on international content, and they have an alternate of their own. It applies here as well.
Lastly, the ill-natured tweet of the lead actress Liu Yifei, openly supporting the Hong Kong Police's atrocities when China was implementing new security policies on Hong Kong, claiming it as a part of the Chinese government. The Hong Kong police came under fire for mistreating peaceful protestors and using harsh means to disperse the crowd. This tweet leads to #boycottmulan across the regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Thailand.
Liu Yifei made no outright apology.
Despite so much anticipation, live-action Mulan came under alot of controversy and failed to make a solid impression on the audience, despite holding a strong message for its feminist audience. Wrong timing and a few wrong decisions cost Disney millions of dollars and somewhat tarnished the reputation of their remake sagas.

- 1994
Genre: Documentary
Season(s): 1 season; 5 episodes
Year of release: 2019
1994 is a modest 5-episode docu-series offering the perfect guilt-free, binge-watching experience. The show revolves around a promising presidential candidate in Mexico who stands to threaten the status quo. Seen as a threat by the powerful elite, he gets shot during one of his televised political rallies. If the events of the first episode seem unusual, then what follows is downright bizarre.
Viewers are in store for surreal events backed by actual interviews and real-life footage that ups the ante with each passing episode. 1994 is a fascinating, informative, and rich account of one of the most turbulent times in Mexico. It not only gives viewers a glimpse of the past but also a story that follows a narrative very close to what we're seeing in our present political climate.
- Rise of Empires: Ottoman
Genre: Drama
Season(s): 1 season; 6 episodes
Year of release: 2020
Following the wildly popular show Ertugrul—at least in the eastern part of the world—Rise of Empires: Ottoman features a historic mix of immaculate production value and dramatic re-enactment of the 1453 fall of Constantinople. A Turkish production, the show is entirely in English and revolves around the life of a young Ottoman Sultan named Mehmet. It shows how the 21-year old leader risks everything to conquer a city his father and so many others failed to take before him.
This point marked a crucial juncture in history: The fall of the Roman Empire and the transition of a local regional entity to that of a global superpower. While the show does have its set of drawbacks (such as the frequent History Channel-type flashbacks), the appeal of our protagonist is sure to have viewers in for a memorable ride.
- Wild Wild Country
Genre: Documentary
Season(s): 1 season; 6 episodes
Year of release: 2018
The mere mention of Wild Wild Country in front of veteran Netflix viewers is sure to garner you some respect points. Based on a true story, Wild Wild Country tells the tale of an Indian cult that's decided to relocate to Oregon. What ensues is a series of unusual events as the locals struggle to come to terms with the new inhabits and in particular, the eccentric leader of this cult: Bhagwan. This mini-series manages to capture and re-tell a significant—albeit unusual—event in American history and media and retell it in a way that's sure to leave some viewers scratching their heads!
- Lenox Hill
Genre: Documentary
Season(s): 1 season; 9 episodes
Year of release: 2020
For those looking to embark on a roller-coaster ride of emotions, look no further than Lenox Hill. While we do recommend this docu-series especially if you're a fan of Grey's Anatomy or ER, Lenox Hill is not your average watch. It's a far cry from what you'd call a feel-good series as it reveals the brutal reality associated with people diagnosed with really bad things.
Set in New York, the show follows the story of an ER physician, an OB-GYN, and two brain surgeons that are part of a small-time hospital competing with bigger establishments. It lifts the curtain from the otherwise romanticized emergency-ward that we've grown accustomed to and accurately depicts the struggles of both patients and doctors.
This highly emotional series might not sit well with everyone but if you want to watch a story about individuals that sacrifice everything to save others then this one's for you.
- Borderline
Genre: Comedy
Season(s): 2 seasons; 12 episodes
Year of release: 2016
The Office is the most viewed show on Netflix according to Chicago Tribune which is a pity because its contract is set to expire on January 1, 2021. Enter Borderline, a British comedy series and 'mockumentary' of sorts that follows a similar pattern and humor as The Office. Set in the fictional Northend Airport instead of an office, viewers are quickly introduced to a slew of funny and ridiculous personalities.
The best part of the series is that it has its own version of Pam, Dwight, Jim, and a Michael type-boss. It also doesn't try too hard to resemble its more popular counterpart and a few episodes are enough to make you wonder why more people aren't watching it!

The Advantages of Online Casino Welcome Bonuses
When it comes to online gambling, the industry is thriving in 2020. Although casinos are banned in many countries, people still find ways to enjoy their favorite games of chance. However, considering the level of competition on the market, it may be difficult for a beginner to find a good online platform and take advantage of all offers. In this article, you will learn the benefits of casinos' welcome bonuses.
What Is a Sign-Up Bonus?
As we have already established, the industry is growing rapidly and companies are desperately looking for new ways to attract customers. A welcome bonus is often used by online casinos to get new leads and players in the future. However, the best casino bonuses can be easily used to the player's advantage. Here are the main reasons you should not neglect this offer.
- It saves your money
Quite obvious, right? Well, this is the main reason why you should always use welcome bonuses in online gambling: it is always better to not risk your own money. It is especially true for beginners. Since they have no experience, it is fairly common for beginners to lose their initial investment and be done with gambling for good. However, if you use your welcome bonus as a way of getting the basics skills, the chances of success will rise significantly.
- It allows you to try several games
Another common issue beginners face is a lack of understanding of which types of games they want to try: slots, roulette, baccarat, blackjack, etc. If you use your sign-up bonus, you will be able to play several games and choose the ones you like better. Moreover, you can take advantage of a welcome bonus on several online gambling platforms. That way you will try out even more options.
- It will make future gambling more profitable
Besides beneficial sign-up bonuses, good online casinos usually have great loyalty programs. For instance, the company may double up to five first deposits on the platform. If you invest 100 USD, you will get 200 USD to your account. More money — more games — more chances of winning.
Although a welcome bonus is a great way of upping your gambling game, there are a few things you should pay attention to. Firstly, a good bonus does not equal a good platform. Before choosing a casino, make sure that the company is legal and trustworthy. Since there are many scams right now, it is essential if you want to save your money. Moreover, check the available deposit/withdrawal methods and their terms.
We hope that this article has shown the true power of online casinos' welcome bonuses and how you can use them to your own advantage. Follow our tips while choosing a platform and enjoy the best gambling experience.

Troubled rapper T.I. has been transferred to a halfway house in Georgia, two weeks after his prison term initially came to an end.
The hip-hop star, real name Clifford Harris, Jr., was given an early release from an Arkansas incarceration facility on August 31 after serving 10 months of an 11-month sentence for a probation violation, but he was placed back behind bars after lawmakers discovered he had illegally conducted business onboard a luxury bus on his way to the halfway house in his home state, where he was due to spend the final days of his punishment.
The officials accused T.I. of discussing business matters with his manager and two producers from TV network VH1 – allegations he has denied.
His lawyer Steve Sadow attempted to have the decision to re-incarcerate his client overturned, but he was refused the opportunity to appeal the ruling.
T.I. was released from custody on Thursday and his attorney is taking credit for the result.
He tells TMZ.com, "We have good reason to believe that this favorable result was reached because of the proactive and assertive approach taken to protect T.I.'s rights by providing Bureau of Prisons officials and the media with reliable and accurate information and that T.I. did not intend to violate his transfer furlough or any other B.O.P. rules en route from the prison facility in Arkansas to the halfway house in Atlanta."
T.I. will be placed on probation for one year after his release from the halfway house on September 29.
