Langston Hughes belonged to the group of Harlem Renaissance poets. The Harlem Renaissance shaped out literature in Harlem in New York City from 1920 till 1940. It was a trend in literature that focused on African-American history and relations. African-American writes expressed their political and social position with the help of art. This trend helped writers to express their identity and Hughes was among these writers. The themes of discrimination and racism are typical for the writers of Harlem Renaissance. Artists who belonged to this trend believed that art was their weapon to fight racism and skillfully used it. Hughes' poems �Negro��, �My people��, �Daybreak in Alabama��, �Negro Speaks of Rivers��, �Let America be America Again�� and �I, too�� are united by one common theme that stays actual even nowadays: African-Americans' fight for their rights and equality and �double standards��. His poems are so attractive and true to life because they reflect his own thoughts, experience and approach to life and his nation.
Hughes turns to the theme of racism in many of his poems and Negro is a perfect example of anti-racist poem. Negro by Langston Hughes is a poem which speaks about life of the author and also depicts history of African Americans. This poem reflects the history of African Americans in general. The author reminds places which reflect important periods of American history and these periods are marked by racism, discrimination segregation. Hughes describes past times, humiliations and violations people of his race had to go through. He enumerates shameful facts from the history:
�I've been a slave:
Caesar told me to keep his door-steps clean,
I've been a victim:
The Belgians cut off my hands in the Congo�� (Hughes).
These short lines speak about centuries of slavery, violence and humiliations of African Americans. Hughes uses interesting artistic device. He does not speak about event from the past in the past tense. He describes them in present tense and attributes to himself all facts from the past he mentions. In this way he underlines that centuries of pain, discrimination and struggle can not and should not be forgotten. Each African American is a descendant of slaves of people, who had to pass through abuses and this can not be crossed out of his memory. This memory can not be destroyed and those who try to do this want to deprive people of their history.
�By doing this Hughes shows himself, one black man, as the entire black race throughout history�� (Hutson, 98). The poem contains a lot of allusions. The author speaks about the time of Julius Caesar, building of the Pyramids. Then he switches to the history of America and speaks about George Washington and contemporary American history.
Hughes is sure that only remembering all facts from the past one could continue living. He believes that national pride and identity is the most precious thing for all people and blames writers and poets "who would surrender racial pride in the name of a false integration�� (Nichols, 102). He addresses these words to all writers and poets who sacrifice their racial identity for the sake of literary success. Hughes was named �black poet�� and he was proud of such name. He believed racial identity to be one of most important distinguishing characteristics for any artist and especially for artists who belonged to discriminated races. As he himself states in his essay named "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain": �We younger Negro artists now intend to express our individual dark-skinned selves without fear or shame. If white people are pleased we are glad. If they aren't, it doesn't matter. We know we are beautiful. And ugly too�� (Hughes, 102). Hughes believes his racial identity to be the reason of discrimination but at the same time he regards it as a source of pride. His poem �Negro�� perfectly reflects such an attitude. Hughes remembers all facts from the history of African American. He recognizes his past and he is proud of his ancestors.
Hughes's poems do not only speak about past and present of African American. His poems are filled with the spirit of this race. He is proud of African-American nation and he is sure that no fights, no sorrows, no discrimination and suffering can change his nation, so unique and so strong. In the poem �My People�� he proves it one more:
�The stars are beautiful,
So the eyes of my people.
Beautiful, also, is the sun.
Beautiful, also, are the souls of my people�� (Hughes).
The author uses simile to make his poem more artistic and high-flown. What can be more beautiful than faces like nights, eyes and starts and souls like the brightest sun!
Hughes implemented special rhythms, which resembles African American blues songs. He believes that any kind of art expresses �the soul of people and does his best to show this in his works�� (Joyce, 2004). Special music, which exists in the poems by Hughes speaks about singing soul of his people. As he wrote in his poem �Daybreak in Alabama��:
�And the field daisy eyes
Of black and white black white black people
And I'm gonna put white hands
And black hands and brown and yellow hands
And red clay earth hands in it�� (Hughes)
Not only special rhythm and structure distinguish Hughes's poems. His poems are rich with symbolism and allusions. He speaks on important themes and uses strong metaphors which can not leave people indifferent.
�Negro Speaks of Rivers�� is a poem which touches important themes of America history. In one short poem the author managed to describe the centuries of oppression and discrimination of people of his race. The poem gives short facts but special rhythm and deep symbolism make the poem very deep and touching. It can not leave anyone indifferent. Despite general themes of the poem it is also very personal. Hughes describes his own experience and puts his soul in his writing and this finds appeal in the hearts of his readers and he makes it in a figurative way:
�We've known rivers:
Ancient, dusky rivers.
My soul has grown deep like the rivers�� (Hughes).
Another his famous poem is �Let America be America Again��. He touches the theme of discrimination in this poem again. He reminds his readers that all people despite their race, sex or social position are equal and only knowing this truth America can become a country it is supposed to be:
�Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed–
Let it be that great strong land of love
Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme
That any man be crushed by one above�� (Hughes).
His poem �I, Too�� is such a strong and self-determined piece of art that it makes us believe that words written on paper will be true tomorrow:
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then�� (Hughes).
The author does not only show discrimination with its consequences and sufferings but he also gives a real hope in the future. The end of the poem is very strong too: �I, too, am America.�� He repeats one more time the truth that is evident but that is so often forgotten.
Hughes poems are bright example of Harlem Renaissance, which had an important meaning for the becoming of contemporary African American literature. All his poems are connected by one theme: love to the African-American nation and fight against discrimination. Hughes depicts his beautiful nation , reminds about all sorrows of the past and does not loose hope in the better future. His style is so figurative but at the same time so plain and appropriate for readers that it makes his poems unique. Reading his poems you feel that they are written for you because they touch hidden corners of your soul. Being a poet, Hughes was also an important and active political and social fighter for African-American rights and art used to be a form which helped him to express himself. Art is always created and aimed for people and, so, creating his poems Hughes also delivered a very important message �� only remembering your past, being aware of your identity and caring about your future you can be proud of your nation and be sure that no obstacles will prevent it from being the best for you.

4 critical violations found in Wayne County food inspections
Multiple area restaurants were cited for critical violations of the Wayne County health code during the month of April and in early May.
The Wayne County Health Department sends inspectors to local businesses, ranging from restaurants to convenience and discount stores. They also visit school and workplace cafeterias. The department shares the inspection results with the Palladium-Item.
Any violations found by inspectors are slotted into two categories — critical and non-critical.
Those with critical violations during recent inspections included:
• Earlham College's Intermetzo dining area was cited on May 2 by the health department for lacking hot water at its hand sinks and three-bay sinks.
• O'Charley's, 4641 National Road E., was cited on April 11 for having shredded cheese and cucumbers at temperatures of 55 degrees and 56.3 degrees, respectively. Both were voluntarily discarded at the time of the inspection, according to the health report.
• Pizza King, 2916 E. Main St., also was found in violation during an April 11 inspection for a repeat critical violation of having food residue on the manual can opener. The issue was corrected at the time of the inspection.
• On April 19, the Taco Bell at 2105 Chester Blvd. was found to have guacamole stored at 45.5 degrees. The product was discarded voluntarily.

Communication was bad
The house is spacious and worked well for our large family of 10. We had to buy a frying pan and pans, because everything stuck to theirs. They could do some upgrading with the kitchen utensils. Communications was at best difficult. I asked about heating the pool prior to the reservation, never received an answer. Asked again once we got there, so we lost a couple of days of pool time because it took a while to heat it up. Also ended up calling, leaving messages and texts to get the actual address of the house. I finally received that information less than 48 hours prior to che king in, and they forgot to tell us we had to check in at the resorts first. The house is within shirt distance of all the Disney parks, which was great after a day of walking with little ones.

House was great
We stayed here for a week during the AYF national football tournament this year. The house has PLENTY of space and very comfortable. We opted for the heated pool which was great since it was a little cold.I would definitely recommend this property as well as company to anyone I know going to the Orlando area.

Predictions 2021: Quality Assurance and Testing
The global events of 2020 have pushed each organisation to be more outward-looking and business conscious. In 2020, we have seen further major shifts and changes in the orchestration and execution of quality assurance (QA) and testing. Now in 2021, the key QA dilemmas that enterprises need to solve are how to enable the teams to deliver quality at speed and how to ensure value is increased. To learn more, here are what QA testing experts Gary Moore and Rochus Gorkink predict as trends for 2021.
Technologies answer the need for speed
Owing to the changes in the political environment coupled with the volatility in the market driven by COVID 19, next year will see a great requirement for speed and agility in testing to enable organisations to deliver their offerings to the market. This, by default, will mean that testing also needs to get more effective. To achieve this, we predict that testers will need to use technologies such as automation and artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate decision making in a much smarter way. We also predict that testing will see the greater adoption of digital technologies to enable teams to collaborate and take faster and better decisions.
Demand for multi skilled professionals
For next year, we predict to see an on-going drive for the search of multi-skilled professionals. Organisations are looking for professionals who can bring different skills to the team, from being a developer to a tester to someone who understands security and can drive performance decisions, all in one. While there will always be the need for a specialist in the team, such as security or testers to name a few, the multi skilled professionals will be able to deliver on tasks quicker and in a more cost-effective manner as these professionals are also independent and self-steering. This will not only help in speedy turnaround but also have a huge impact on cost of quality.
Environments-on-demand required to accelerate testing
The absence of fit-for-purpose test environments has always impacted testing timescales. With accelerated remote working and distributed teams, the ability to have environments-on-demand is more a priority than ever. We predict there is no other way that is more effective at reducing the overall test environment spend than migrating to cloud test environments and embracing testing and infrastructure automation. The on-demand model allows businesses to take advantage of public cloud APIs and only pay for the time needed to run through automated tests.
Less independent testing, more embedded testing
In the UK, organisations are focussing on the need for speed and agility in testing. The recently launched World Quality Report, 2020-21, shows that there is increasing adoption of Agile and DevOps, and on the capacity to maintain and improve software after go-live. In short, this means we are witnessing a general transition of quality assurance to a point where testing will no longer be a discrete activity but will now become embedded in every stage of the development lifecycle. We predict going forward testers and their capabilities will be more embedded in the Agile team supported by a limited number of central QA experts.
The need to test AI
While next year AI will aid testing for better results and insights, we predict there will be a need to test and validate changes driven by AI. When AI makes cognitive decisions in customer offerings itself, there will be a need for QA teams to come up with an approach for testing the impact of the technology. This means checking if the change driven is ethical and is free of bias that is inherent to the data that is used to train the AI solutions. With more and more AI technology being used, testing solution providers will have to find the best way to validate if it's working correctly both functionally and ethically.

Yesterday we were hit by a April snowstorm that lasted most of the day. Most people rushed home after work trying to avoid the wet snow but with my trusty boots and a curious disregard for the perils of mild hypothermia I decided to go for a walk. In fact everyone went home because I didn't come across anyone as foolish as me in the two miles that I walked. I have walked on clifftops in gale force wind so I wasn't going to let a snowstorm get in the way of a bit of exercise.
I walked along the Charles River for about a mile until I came to a bridge and crossed it and walked back on the other side of the river to the train station. It was snowing heavily and even the twin landmarks of the Prudential Building and the Hancock Tower were invisible in the gloom. It was wonderfully atmospheric though and with the grey and white colours I felt like I was wandering through a Victorian novel except with less workhouses. I wandered along watching the snowflakes in a happy reverie until a near miss with a car indicated I should probably watch the traffic too.
I ended up with tired legs (walking in the snow makes me walk differently) and very wet clothes but I felt really alive. That's all that matters right?

DISCLOSURE: Although the product information provided here is in my judgment credible and reasonable, and my reviews, I believe, are fair and balanced, utimately you must make the final decision whether to use or follow the advice of any recommended product. It may be prudent for you to discuss any information you receive about these products with a qualified individual. ** I do receive compensation from the purchase of any product on this site. **
There are proven treatment alternatives that your doctor will not discuss with you, that you will find in a book I am recommending here.
But why look here or elsewhere?
Your doctor has been taught to fight cancer by cutting it out, burning it, or poisoning it. In far too many cases these approaches will
fail to extend life for very long. In addition, during and often well after the treatment period the negative effects of these treatments
reduce the patient's quality of life.
Doctors know the statistics about the treatments they recommend for a given type of cancer. Even when they know that the outcome is
not favorable they will rarely discuss other treatment approaches based on good science that some forward-thinking
doctors are using today.
Suzanne Somers (yes, the actress) faced her own cancer demon with conventional treatments.
Determined to find a better way, if it exists, she interviewed doctors who have demonstrated
many successes that conventional medicine refuses to accept as real. What she learned, and
some of the science behind these alternative cancer treatments, are clearly presented in
her book "KNOCKOUT".

The stretches and exercises you'll learn about in this free book really work - I know because they have worked
for me. They make scientific sense and logical sense. Here is how author Jesse Cannone (C.P.T., cofounder of
The Healthy Back Institute) introduces this book:
People usually think that if they have back pain, their bodies are suffering from some mechanical dysfunction.
"Since my body hurts," they say, "it must mean something is wrong with my body—something with the bones, the
muscles, or the soft tissue that connects them." While this is sometimes, if not often, the case, it's not the only
underlying cause of back pain. In fact, there are FIVE causes of back pain, and all back pain comes from one of
three sources. These are almost always overlooked by doctors and other health care professionals. In the 7 Day
Back Pain Cure Book, which you can get for free, we'll go into greater dept and cover how you can get true lasting
relief from your back pain and so much more...

Axis realigns to become 'future-ready'
Axis Capital Holdings Ltd is making a number of changes to its operations to make it "future-ready".
One of the changes is the realigning of its accident and health business, which is to merge into Axis' core insurance and reinsurance segments.
Chris DiSipio, who has served as chief executive officer of the accident and health business, is leaving the company. He will continue in an advisor role until his departure in April.
Other changes will see the launch of a global underwriting and analytics unit, and integrated functional models for IT and finance. The changes will be made during the second quarter of this year.
Last year, Axis acquired Lloyd's insurer Novae Group for $611 million, and some of the changes relate to the integration of that business into the group.
Bermudian-based Axis said the multiple enhancements it is introducing are part of an ongoing strategy to make it "a global leader in speciality insurance and reinsurance, with a focus on being a partner of choice for key clients and partners in distribution".
Referring to the change at the accident and health unit, Albert Benchimol, chief executive officer of Axis, said: "We are deeply appreciative of Chris for his leadership in growing the A&H business from a start-up into a profitable $500 million business. We are proud of the achievements of the A&H team and look forward to building on them and continuing the profitable growth of these businesses.
"Chris has decided that he would like to begin a new chapter in his career, and we wish him the absolute best in his future endeavours."
Axis said in a statement that realigning the business is expected to enable it to continue focusing on client needs and to deliver synergies in combination with Axis' P&C insurance and reinsurance businesses.
Mr Benchimol said: "A&H is a successful and established global business that we expect to continue to grow profitability and be an important contributor to Axis."
The realignment is expected to create more opportunities for Axis' A&H teams to leverage customer and partner relationships across the business, better tap into existing client networks, and help ensure seamless delivery of A&H and more traditional P&C (re)insurance products to AXIS' international clients.
The company also expects the move to help its P&C reinsurance team "leverage the geographic expansion and client relationships achieved by its A&H teams".
Mr Benchimol said of the multiple changes: "These actions to strengthen our operating model set Axis on a powerful path forward as we accelerate our strategy to be a leader in speciality insurance and reinsurance, while increasing our efficiency and enhancing our profitability.
"Customer-centricity is paramount to our thinking, and these changes will also allow us to improve the fitness of our company, making Axis more agile and ready for the future so it can capitalise on an evolving market — all while providing greater value to our clients and delivering stronger returns to our shareholders."
Mr Benchimol added: "As we continue to integrate Novae into our business and grow our scale and relevance, now is the perfect time to make these enhancements to our operating model."
The new global underwriting and analytics unit, which will be led by Eric Gesick as group chief underwriting officer.
The unit will partner with Axis' underwriting, claims, and actuarial teams within the business segments to provide greater insights, resources, and tools to deliver services to clients and distribution partners. The company said this will include leveraging enhanced data and analytics capabilities to help inform decision-making and intelligently applying InsurTech.
"Through our global underwriting and analytics unit, we are creating a data and analytics centre of excellence that builds upon our philosophy of coupling human ingenuity with powerful tools and insights," said Mr Benchimol.
"GUA will enhance our ability to deliver disciplined underwriting and offer even more value to our clients and partners.
"Eric is the ideal candidate to lead GUA. A proven leader within Axis, he brings deep knowledge of our business and the market, and a keen understanding of the transformations that are reshaping our industry."
Mr Gesick, who joined the company in 2012, is currently chief risk and actuarial officer.
Additionally, Axis is introducing an integrated functional model for both its IT and finance departments, enabling the company to "better leverage expertise across the organisation".
Axis said that an integrated "future-ready" functional model will mean the finance department can adapt its way of working and leverage technology to devote more time to "value-adding activities and further increase its capabilities as a strategic partner to the company's business units".

Hello Everyone!
I enjoy writing, blogging, and sharing my opinions. I thought that I would share my informative, interesting, and thought-provoking articles on here. I hope that you enjoy my writings.
I am writing articles on Wicca, Pagans, Witchcraft, etc.. and attempting to gather the accurate information and place it all in one place that is easy to find (and reference in the future) and occassionally insert my opinions in the mix.
There is a lot of wonderful information out there, but at times, it can be difficult to find what you are looking for when there are so many websites out there that offer much of the same information.
I know that, especially for new people to the craft, finding functional, quality products can be time consuming and difficult.
With this in mind, I have spent a lot of time searching through Amazon for the products that will be useful to people in the Craft. I have further divided the items into categories to make finding what you need prompt and convenient.
In this personalized store you will find books on Wicca, Paganism, Witchcraft, meditation, yoga and the different methods of divination; altars and altar tools (altar cloths, athames, bolines, wands, chalices, altar pentacles, cauldrons, blank Book of Shadows, besoms, mortar and pestles, incense holders, and altar bells); beeswax and aromatherapy candles; incense cones and sticks, therapeutic grade essential oils; organic dried herbs and kits to grow your own herbs at home; and items for different methods of divination (tarot cards, runes, scrying, palmistry, and pendulums).

"The internet's nailed it again!" I thought, navigating between sparse clusters of exiting couples and parties giggling carefully among themselves as if conscious that somebody authoritative might be watching. Sure enough, Terrence Malick's latest was remarkably reminiscent of Andrei Tarkovsky's The Mirror, just as I'd been assured. The motif of adulthood reminisce was sharp and present, the chronology was mixed and elusive, and—common to Tarkovsky if not so much to Malick until right that evening—the whole thing retained the subtly narcoleptic quality of attending high Mass, enough so that I now pray for a wide theatrical re-release featuring Spy Kids-style 4D scratch 'n sniff incense.
Indeed, premature as it may be, and without, as usual, the benefit of direct statements from its writer/director, I'm sorely tempted to declare The Tree of Life an attempt at creating an unabashedly religious, Christian film that seeks, in its melodrama, to divine the eternal from a rather clichéd, perhaps mythic American youth experience of a certain generation: that idealized 50s life of romping boys and barking dogs and earthy country scenes. This is what binds the film to Malick's other projects of late, as both The Thin Red Line and The New World presume to enter the very fabric of American mythology—the 'good' war of WWII and the foundation of the earliest settlements, respectively—to tear it all up and bind it back together again from its sensitive, emotive and metaphysical underpinnings. Perhaps this is what sets Malick apart from Tarkovsky; both The Tree of Life and The Mirror sought to reveal their power through editing room questing, the latter work having enjoyed twenty or more primal variations per my copy of Sculpting in Time, yet Malick is navigating something of an artificial terrain—the construct of American Boyhood—while Tarkovsky and the writer Aleksandr Misharin smashed their personal autobiographies together to create uncanny personal vignettes, politically-minded and culturally specific yet intuitive enough to suggest the very color of life.
Malick's work is quicker-paced, and frankly more intellectual. His sequences are edited together often by thematic association (if not necessarily chronology), so that a scene of Brad Pitt as the story's demanding ur-father, voicing his insecurities over the downtrodden economic state of his family, is immediately followed by a scene of the clan purchasing foodstuffs from an obviously less-advantaged black marketplace, groups of race-divided children staring at each other without commingling, followed by a scene of Jessica Chastain as a blessed Mother doing chores on a rather comfortable lawn. The intent of this assemblage is fairly obvious, as are swift cuts of women's feet and legs surrounding the film's boy protagonist, Jack O'Brien (mind the capitalization), his stirring sexuality leading him to covertly enter a neighboring woman's unlocked home to wander around: a terrific metaphor for sexual fantasy—invasive without risking physical notice—though Malick keeps building and building his scene until the lad is pulling scanty things out of the bedroom drawers and rubbing them. The intent, perhaps, is to recall an earlier image of his mother caressing his younger face through sheer drapes, yet such addition leaves the events heavy with increasingly blunt import, so that the inevitable casting of the stolen garment into a river seems less exploratory of a boyhood cliché than merely representative.
But Malick's intellect is not purely visual; this is also something of a literary work, opening with verses from Job concerning the creation of the universe and, rhetorically, the absence of humankind therefrom, before a pulsing vulvic pleroma parting ex nihilo upon the screen births us into the director's contained cosmos - scriptural invocation at its most direct. Likewise, the plot (as it is), roughly tracks the Fall of Man as the growth of a boy, with American Boyhood standing in allegorical parity with the Garden of Eden, from which we can only be cast out. Malick does not tackle events in order, however, so the film's opening movement initially depicts the boy's mother as a girl—all the better to suggest the eternal recurrence of these ancient ideas—and then transitions into herself at the head of a family cast out into the wilderness, grieving the death of a child, because 'death' is now possible away from the Edinic Tree of Life, the first humans having eaten from the Tree of Knowledge. Further dualities are promptly established: the characteristic hushed Malick narration whispers of the Path of Nature and the Path of Grace, Father and Mother duly and irresistibly suggested as avatars of, respectively, the forceful and consumptive state of things and the compassion unique to humans through deeds. To be perilously specific, the film seems to be working from a distinctly Catholic-tinged setup, cinematically accessing Grace through works, the very anecdotes and scenes and snatches of life that make up the stuff of his movie, just as Malick's Original Sin is but the fallen state of humankind, a concupiscence nurtured by boys through rough play and petty violence and jealousy and resentments strewn through the narrative like infallible tropes.
Further scenes introduce us to Sean Penn as the Boy as an Adult—lighting a memorial candle which (of course!) will recur as the Boy as a Boy leaps with his eventually dead brother across Church pews in the garden of their youth—before a second primary movement depicts the origins of life itself, mainly to juxtapose some gorgeous practical effects in the service of Natural phenomena with Malick's now-legendary CG dinosaurs, evidently 'fake'—almost cartoonish!—but present to quietly suggest from one beastie's failure to kill the other that the crackle of Grace is potential. Then an asteroid swoops in to clean the slate, further working the theme of recurrence and reinforcing that, indeed, we were not there when the earth's foundations were laid. At times, I confess, such attempts to establish the continuity of life seem like cudgels swung to make this very ship-in-a-bottle sort of mythic interrogation resound as a bit grander than it is; while Tarkovsky seemed to effortlessly evoke living itself from his long, mysterious scenes—which I freely admit may have had an especially mysterious effect on me in that I don't share its director's own cultural background—Malick works and sweats. This is most evident in the film's slightly ridiculous Modern environment, framed so that metal architecture cages poor, grimacing Penn, who suffers what must be the most intense elevator ride in the history of human industry when not being supplanted entirely by the film's Edenic action, its own increasing guilt and shame stretching like a long twilight between the bite of the apple and the arrival of God's wrath, analogized to economic circumstances come crashing down.
Fortunately, Malick maintains a steady hand on matters of pure cinema aesthetic. As the boy grows from a baby to an adolescent, carpet-eyed camera viewpoints grow along with him; at one point there's a marvelous scene of young children interacting, establishing Malick's sensitivity with performance, while a later sequence of children running is cut together from whooshing vertical swipes, a superb directional montage. Even the seemingly circumscribed nature of Penn's performance is folded into a grander intent; stripped of most dialogue, he gives what's nearly a silent movie performance, our vision lingering on his craggy face and worn hands, Malick demanding of him pantomime, which recalls the gestural acting of Chastain as his mother, binding parent and child on a fundamental level that lays silent below the desirous angst Penn inherits from Pitt, whom he most ostensibly resembles. This complication is good, as Malick otherwise sets up the boy's angelic, artistic, utterly doomed brother as a consummate mother's son, which seems facile. Yet even as there's a third brother lurking around, potentially lost in a longer cut, the dichotomy of Nature and Grace necessarily associates all those lovely bucolic trees and lawns as siblings to the nasty skyscrapers of the modern day: artifacts of desire, of mechanical, biological function, of unthinking movement perhaps suggested in the mother's dances and games, perhaps then suggesting that Pitt's father truly desires to love from his self-centered demands for kisses from his boys.
Naturally, everything comes to a head in the film's grand finale, which one friend of mine gleefully compared to that poster where there's two sets of footprints on the beach and then suddenly only one, and that's where Jesus carried you (so much for avoiding kitsch in Christian art). I'm certain that's what left my audience tittering as they crept away from the closing credits, and it indeed aggravates the most hermetic aspects of Malick's movie construction: all the characters gather in the sand, Sean Penn mixing in, acknowledging, forgiving, while the viewer inevitably scratches their head and goes "wait, didn't he, like, date any other woman besides his wife?" Didn't he have an intellectual and emotional life as a teenager? Does he really have no valued adult relationships? Ah, but Malick is contrite, I think, urging compassion in making the artificial borders of his poem, his essay, as evident as possible. Doesn't the invocation of Job presume human limitations on comprehending the scope of the divine? And isn't a Tree of Life but a model of metaphysical reality, in the Kabbalistic sense? I prefer Tarkovsky still, though Malick can and does pierce the human veil to evoke eternity in some of those final minutes, with the mother-as-a-child and Chastain-as-the-adult and the very first little girl for whom the boy ever felt some longing gather into a trinity, a lovely image of continuous humanity, as Chastain—a Marian intercessor—gives up her son, both her dead son given up to God and living sons given to become sexual beings and perhaps create life with women, just as women and mothers were created, and the orchestra swells and arms are lifted, and Terrence Malick is free for a second from his weight of footage and allegory and learned text, his fortune veritably doubled, and the chorus sings "Amen! Amen! Amen!"

SAN JOSE — His name alone would suggest he's on the other side. But Juan Hernandez was wearing his bright red "Make America Great Again" hat as he exited the Donald Trump rally that hot June evening in downtown San Jose — and became a target of the taunting.
"Fists were just flying and people, you could see the contact being made, you could see them being pushed, you could see the young kid running," said Hernandez, 38, whose nose was broken in the melee. "It was like, Oh my God, this is Armageddon. This is the rapture happening."
Now, 4½ months later, days after one of America's most fractious elections, the protesters from that night and the many bewildered and enraged anti-Trump voters across the Bay Area are feeling the same way. The Trump presidency begins Jan. 20. "Honestly," protester Ariana Romero asks, "this is becoming our reality?"
In many ways, what happened that summer night on the corner of San Carlos Street and Almaden Boulevard — when San Jose became the center of the rage and divisiveness of the 2016 presidential race — has defined both the bitter divide and the inconceivable challenge to put it behind us.
Unite under President Donald Trump? With lawsuits pending and wounds still raw, both Trump backers like Hernandez — a self-described Log Cabin Republican Latino — and protesters like Romero and Phuc Le from San Jose's east side don't see how.
Not yet. Not after that night. Not after this campaign.
"I couldn't help but cry," Romero, 22, said after Tuesday's election. She was born in San Jose, but fears some of her extended family could face deportation from Trump's America.
Even Hernandez, fresh from the Trump triumph, feels misunderstood and is still struggling to see eye-to-eye with his own mother.
"It was easier to come out as gay than as a Trump supporter," he said.
National leaders have tried to soothe the country. President Barack Obama met with Trump in the White House and called for calm and reconciliation. Hillary Clinton urged the "peaceful transition of power." And U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, who captivated many California Democrats, implored the nation to look for common ground.
But there is little evidence that message has been resonating this week, especially in the liberal Bay Area, where protests have been breaking out every day and anti-Trumpers climbed onto freeways in Oakland and San Jose trying, somehow, to block the inevitable.
"Hey hey, ho ho, Donald Trump has got to go," high school students chanted Thursday outside San Jose's City Hall, as though they could oust him before he took office.
It didn't help when protesters in Oakland broke windows, burned dumpsters and vandalized downtown businesses. It didn't help when a Woodside High School Trump supporter was beaten by a classmate.
And it didn't help when Trump took to Twitter again, blaming the media for inciting the protests, or when young white men ripped off the headscarves of Muslim women at San Jose and San Diego state universities.
In the Bay Area, it was possible for voters to live through the presidential campaign without ever coming face to face with a Trump supporter. On Tuesday, Clinton voters outnumbered Trump's by more than 3 to 1. For many, their only reference points came from their TV screens and social media feeds of white guys in "deplorables" T-shirts shouting for Trump to "Build that Wall" and "Lock Her Up."
But on June 2, hundreds who felt more passionate about Trump's appearance that night than they did about the Golden State Warriors' opening game in the NBA Finals came face-to-face in downtown San Jose.
For almost an hour, San Jose police stood by in riot gear as the violence erupted. In a decision that would be heavily criticized, they didn't step in to stop protesters from throwing eggs or to break up the skirmishes that quickly turned bloody. Some of the injured Trump supporters, including Hernandez, are suing the city.
Despite the clear racial divide — Latinos shouting it out with whites — there were faces on both sides that didn't fit America's preconception of the battle over Trump.
Corrin Rankin was horrified at the hatred she saw as she left the Trump rally. The mom raising three daughters owns a bail bonds business in Redwood City. She is African-American.
"I didn't feel in that moment I was living in America," she said.
Ethnic slurs were hurled her way, she said, and no one asked why she would support Trump. She would have told them she was tired of government regulation that hurt small businesses and the lousy public school educations her daughters received here.
"What did I do wrong to have to come out and endure this hatefulness?" she said in an interview at Trump's Santa Clara County headquarters in Sunnyvale after the election.
Phuc Le, 36, never encountered Rankin. But before the violence broke out, he tried to engage a Trump supporter just leaving the hall, to literally try to convince him that Trump was a con man, that the hapless Trump University students were proof of his fraud.
"Hey, man," Le, who was born in an Indonesian refugee camp when his parents fled Vietnam, called out to the white man in his 60s. "Why don't you stick around and have a debate?"
But with more protesters gathering, the Trump supporter wasn't interested in talking. Conversation wasn't the only thing lost that night. The ability to see each other's fundamental humanity also disappeared.
"Basically, we're not human beings anymore. We're like animals," said Trump supporter Steve Tong of Santa Clara, who felt the fear as protesters surrounded him and grabbed his Trump sign. "It was just crazy."
Taunts went both ways. "Make America Great Again" hats burned in the street, and "Dump Trump" signs were grabbed and ripped.
Down the block, Romero and her friends kept their hands to themselves, but hurled out anti-Trump chants.
"I wasn't doing half the stuff other people were doing," Romero said. "But what difference did that make? We all ended up getting called thugs."
In the weeks after the rally, Hernandez became the face of victimized Trump supporters on Fox News — and that's how many of his friends found out he was a Trump supporter.
"They called me a sell-out, that the Republicans were using me," he said. They didn't get that he's a fourth-generation Californian and believes Trump's call to "Build That Wall" isn't about disdain for Mexicans, but about illegal immigration that he opposes as well.
But even Hernandez's mother, a staunch Clinton supporter, couldn't believe her son actually supported Trump, a man she considers a bully and "a terrible person, actually."
Mother and son found it best to avoid the topic. But their relationship tanked when Josie Hernandez scoffed at her son's contention that the Clinton campaign may have been behind the violence that led to his broken nose and night of terror.
They barely spoke for weeks.
And now the election is over.
It's easier for the victors to talk about healing.
Rankin, who owns the bail bonds business, said conversations should start with the fundamentals.
"We all want a strong economy. We all want jobs. We all want our children to receive a great education," she said. "I feel like I'm the one person in the room standing saying it's not about race."
It's about understanding.
In the early hours after Trump was elected, Josie Hernandez texted her son, congratulating him. It brought tears to his eyes. But two days later, he couldn't help but blurt out that Clinton needed to face consequences for her email scandal. And, again, his mother was horrified.
"We still have some stuff to work on, some things to talk about," she said. "It's going to take a while."
Romero vows to keep fighting, for the future of her relatives, for the values of this country. But it's hard not to lose hope. She learned a hard lesson on the streets of San Jose that night in June.
"In reality," she said, "we can protest all day and still nothing's going to get changed."
When she looks back to that Trump protest, one chant in particular — a staple at protests across the country — keeps echoing through her head:
"This is what Democracy looks like!"
It rings hollow now. Like others still grieving the election, she needs it to be inspiring again.

What Demi Lovato has said about sobriety and mental health
Demi Lovato has long been open about her struggles with substance abuse and mental health issues.Posted — Updated
Demi Lovato has long been open about her struggles with substance abuse and mental health issues.
Her words are now taking on new meaning given her hospitalization Tuesday for an apparent drug overdose.
Demi Lovato hospitalized for apparent drug overdose
The news was met with shock and sadness from friends and fans.
Ariana Grande, other artists respond to Demi Lovato's hospitalization
Here's some of what Lovato has said in the past:
On hitting rock bottom
The 25-year-old star told Access Hollywood in 2013 that she had a moment of reckoning when she was 19.
"I was going to the airport and I had a Sprite bottle just filled with vodka and it was just 9 in the morning and I was throwing up in the car and this was just to get on a plane to go back to L.A. to the sober living house that I was staying at," Lovato said. "I had all the help in the world, but I didn't want it."
The family intervention
Lovato told British talk-show host Jonathan Ross last year that her parents got tough with her a few years back.
"I knew that I had a lot of life ahead of me, but one of the main reasons of getting sober was so that I could be around my little sister because my mom and dad (said I couldn't be around her) if I was doing stuff," she said.
Her entire tribe has rallied around her during the tough times, Lovato said.
"I had family and really close friends and my manager; they all were by my side through everything," she said. "I wouldn't be here without them. My fans too, I feel they gave me a reason to live and I'm forever grateful."
Her daily struggle to stay sober
Last year the "Sorry Not Sorry" singer was honored with the Spirit of Sobriety Award during the annual Brent Shapiro Foundation for Drug Prevention Summer Spectacular.
"Every day is a battle," she said.
"You just have to take it one day at a time; some days are easier than others and some days you forget about drinking and using, but for me, I work on my physical health, which is important, but my mental health as well," Lovato said, adding that she was seeing her therapist twice a week. "I make sure I stay on my medications. I go to AA meetings. I do what I can physically in the gym. I make it a priority."
Opening up about being bipolar
In 2015 Lovato was spokeswoman for the "Be Vocal: Speak Up for Mental Health" campaign and talked to Women's Health about why she went public with her mental health issues.
"I remember sitting with my manager and my family and talking to them about whether or not to speak out about the issues that I was dealing with," she said. "I knew that there were two options: I could either not talk about my stint in rehab and hope that it went away, or I could talk about it and inspire people to get help for their issues, as well, so that's exactly what I did."
Her sobriety relapse after six years
Last month Lovato released the song "Sober" in which she revealed she had relapsed.
"I'm so sorry I'm not sober anymore/And I'm sorry for the fans I lost who watched me fall again/I wanna be a role model, but I'm only human," Lovato sang.
Soon after she tweeted a video of her emotional performance of the song in Lisbon, Portugal.
"Tonight I took the stage, a new person with a new life," she tweeted. "Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this journey. It will never be forgotten."

Outstanding Car Loans Top $1 Trillion
This piece originally appeared on Time.com.
Americans are borrowing more than ever to pay for their vehicles, with many consumers behind on their payments.
Outstanding auto loans totaled $1.027 trillion between April 1 and June 30, according to a report by USA Today. The automotive division of one of the nation's largest lenders, Experian Automotive, says that this is the second consecutive quarter over $1 trillion.
Leases are up, accounting for 31.44% of all new car and truck buys in the second quarter, compared to 26.9% a year ago. Average monthly payments for these loans are also higher, at about $499, compared to $483 last year.
Overdue payments are on the rise as well, with 30- and 60-day loan delinquencies up 17% from a year ago among subprime and deep subprime borrowers—or those with a credit score of less than 600.

The auto market could see the full impact of an increased number of leases in a few years, when more of the leased vehicles are returned, causing the prices of those cars to drop at auction.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER! YOU'LL GROW OUT OF IT hilariously, and candidly, explores the journey of the twenty-first century woman. As both a tomboy and a late bloomer, comedian Jessi Klein grew up feeling more like an outsider than a participant in the rites of modern femininity.

These include her "transformation from Pippi Longstocking-esque tomboy to are-you-a-lesbian-or-what tom man," attempting to find watchable porn, and identifying the difference between being called "ma'am" and "miss" ("Miss" sounds like you weigh ninety-nine pounds). Raw, relatable, and consistently hilarious, YOU'LL GROW OUT OF IT is a one-of-a-kind book by a singular and irresistible comic voice.

How much sleep are you getting every night? If it's not the recommended 7 to 9 hours, you could be hurting your immune system. "Many patients understand that lack of sleep makes them feel groggy or reduces the efficiency with which they think or process information. But lack of sleep can really damage your immune system, too, making it more difficult for your body to ward off medical issues, stress, and anxiety," says Niket Sonpal, MD, an internist and gastroenterologist in New York City.
On top of that, Sonpal says a lack of sleep also makes it harder for your body to recover should you come down with a sickness like the coronavirus. And if you're desperate for a good night's sleep, check out 20 Doctor-Approved Tips to Get a Full Night's Sleep Tonight.
Your poor diet
There are a lot of downsides to eating unhealthily, from diabetes to heart disease. But it turns out, your diet can affect your immune system, too. Sonpal says eating a diet that lacks fruit and veggies and is high in sugar and high-fat foods can also set your immune system up for trouble down the line.
"We know fatty, fried foods affect the way in which your body can shield itself from infections and sickness," he says. "Plant-based foods, on the other hand, are essential to getting the vitamins, minerals, and fiber you need to keep your body healthy. If your diet is off-balanced in favor of processed, fatty, and oily food, you're doing your immune system no favors."
Your drinking
There's nothing wrong with having a glass of wine or a beer after a long day at work (even if it's from home). The problem comes when you're drinking too much of it. "Alcohol is dehydrating, and it has a negative effect on your ability to battle germs and other illnesses," Sonpal says. "This is compounded by alcohol's ability to deplete the amount of quality sleep you can get."
In the long run, Sonpal says alcohol can cause issues with your liver, cancer, and other problems as well. "It's important to enjoy alcohol, like other unhealthy things most people love, in moderation," he cautions. And if you want to learn more about your immune system, Here Are the Myths About Your Immune System You Need to Stop Believing.
Your vaping
While drinking alcohol is fine in moderation, vaping is never a good idea. In fact, a 2018 study published in the British Medical Journal found vaping may damage vital immune system cells.
"Most people understand that smoking isn't good for you, but many are still under the impression that vaping is healthier," Sonpal says. "In 2019, we had a major increase in respiratory illness caused by vaping, and this affected a large number of young people. Vaping still consists of the consumption of nicotine into the lungs, which puts you at risk for respiratory illness and other long-term issues."
Your medication
If you take medications to help you battle chronic diseases like lupus or asthma, you need to be aware of how those prescriptions could be affecting your immune system. Corticosteroids, for example, are drugs that treat a wide variety of disorders, including asthma, arthritis, skin conditions, and autoimmune diseases. And they work by "decreasing inflammation and reducing the activity of the immune system," according to the Mayo Clinic.
"Talk with your doctor about any secondary effects of medications you're prescribed to deal with underlying health conditions, as some could cause a decrease in efficiency in the immune system," Sonpal says. And for more insight into your immune system, check out 13 Surprising Things That Can Affect Your Immune System.

After making an appearance on the streets of L.A. yesterday at the March for Our Lives gun protest, Selena Gomez stepped out for dinner in a head-turning look.
Spotted at The Nice Guy on Saturday night, the "Bad Liar" singer sported a high-low ensemble featuring a $78 vintage cropped Tom Petty T-shirt courtesy of Daydreamer Los Angeles, paired with a bold red wrap skirt and Dior J'Adior ribbon slingback pumps.
The red in Selena's white tee perfectly coordinated with her skirt boasting a thigh-high slit and a red lip served as the cherry on top.
Meanwhile, we haven't seen the 25-year-old former Disney star rock this black pointy-toe spring '17 shoe style from Dior designer Maria Grazia Chiuri before.
Lately, Gomez has been showing off her Puma sneaker collection, from her go-to platform Basket kicks — which she wore at yesterday's rally — to the brand's Phenom and Muse shoes.
Additionally, when she hasn't been donning sneakers, she's often been seen in Stuart Weitzman's sold-out Manila chunky black calf leather loafers.
Prior to dressing up for a night out, Gomez kept things much more casual at the L.A. gun protest march, wearing an understated black and white striped T-shirt with light-wash jeans and her crispy white Puma Basket sneaks.

My good friend Dave Gilbert asked if we could talk about maximizing the way we meet in virtual space, so he turned on the camera and this is what you get! A Big Idea right now is to remember that we are all in a shit show. And, importantly, we are people first and then leaders, parents, or whatever. We're human. When I'm wanting to react to someone in a critical or judgmental way, I can stop and ask myself, "What would a more generous response be?"
Another Big Idea that flows from a "People First" commitment is to shift my focus to not just the content of what we're working on, but the context, or how we're working on it. Let's be kind.
Onward! V

20+ Boozy Super Bowl Drinks to Get the Party Started
We've got creative recipes for everything from Jell-O shots to sangria.
Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest day of the year for football. And when you think about it, it's also the biggest day of the year for game-day grub. Chicken wings. Chips and dip. Tacos. Does it get any better than that? We say, "no." But in addition to your spread of Super Bowl food, you'll also want to provide some incredible Super Bowl drinks. Sure, a 30-rack of beer could do the trick, but a creative cocktail will elevate your evening.
To help you celebrate the end of the football season, we've found the best Super Bowl drinks any amateur mixologist can make. From cute Jell-O shots that are shaped like beer pints to spicy sangrias in unexpected flavors, these game-day drinks will ensure you have the most enviable home bar on the block. Don't want to spend the entire night mixing cocktails? Have no fear. We've included tons of options you can mix in advance — recipes for punches, sangrias, and Jell-O shots — which means you'll only have to get off the couch to grab another round. Because on Super Bowl Sunday, you don't want to miss a second of fun (or miss a second of your group's Super Bowl party games).
Obviously, beer is the OG Super Bowl drink. This year, take the staple up a notch with this margarita-style cocktail that blends it with lime juice and orange liqueur.

Sure, Bloody Marys might serve a brunchy vibe — but they also pair incredibly well with all of the savory snacks that the Super Bowl is known for.
Sangria is the ultimate party drink because you can make it in advance and let your guests serve themselves. Plus, it's a simple way to stretch a bottle of wine as far as possible.
To make this recipe, you'll need to whip up a cinnamon-infused simple syrup. The effort is worth it, though: it's the perfect winter cocktail.
You'll want to have this yummy punch on hand when your team scores (and hopefully wins!). It's made with Sprite, seltzer, prosecco, vodka, and blue Curaçao.

Moscow mules are universally well-liked, which means you can put an exciting twist on them and everyone will still be game. Here, we added fresh thyme and plums to the original recipe.

Man killed in Bridgeton shooting
BRIDGETON – A 25-year-old man was found dead of an apparent gunshot wound Wednesday morning, according to police.
Around 8:45 a.m. Wednesday, police were dispatched to a residence on the 200 block of Spruce Street where they found Dehaven Jackson lying face down and unresponsive in the backyard.
Police said they found several spent shell casings at the scene.
SEE ALSO: County faces yet another jail death lawsuit
According to police, another person was shot Tuesday night and taken to a "Bridgeton ER" with a "non-life threatening gunshot wound to the foot."
Officers were called to the 200 block of South Pine Street around 10:20 p.m. Tuesday for that incident when they were notified of the shooting victim.
About an hour and a half later, police said they heard additional gunshots ring out near the scene of the South Pine Street shooting, but could not find its exact location.
Police said they believe the gunshots they overheard and Jackson's death are related.
"The shooting death of Jackson is currently believed to be linked in some way," police said in their Facebook release.
Anyone with information is urged to call the Bridgeton Police Department or use the anonymous Tip411 service.

Dangers of television affects viewers
More stories from Jack Wolfe
April 1, 2021
February 8, 2021
Whether it is watching a movie at home or watching a weekly show, television is not unknown. A lot of people watch TV, but could too much of a good thing be bad?
Children ages two through 11 watch over 24 hours of TV per week while adults ages 35 through 49 watch more than 33 hours, according to data from Nielsen media ratings, suggesting that TV time increases the older we get.
The average American watches more than five hours of live television every day.
"[TV], continuously giving us quick information, opinion, analysis, and criticism for just about everything, slowly leads us to stop using our own critical thinking skills. As a consequence, we can be easily misinformed and manipulated," according to The Unbounded Spirit.
But why listen to a whole bunch of numbers when you can hear what some students think?
"I feel it's addicting because most people are lacking in studies and then they get bad grades," said Rohanrose Palanikumar, 9.
Others had similar opinions.
"It can consume their time and make students distracted," said Victoria Schwegmann, 9.
In conclusion, instead of watching TV for 48 hours on the weekend, go outside and hang out with friends.

Kinosho Kikaku is pleased to present to you "Container of the Ghost―H.K solo exhibition".
For H.K, the soul is stuck on the body rather than existing within it. There are times when he feels as if his soul will be slipped off the body and nowhere to be found, as if the human body is a container, and the soul constantly disagrees to settle within it. The existence of the consciousness becomes chaotic and doubtful. Through the act of painting, he is able to grasp the solid feeling of being alive as a human being.
In such sense, his works can be considered as the result of the struggling of preventing his chaotic self consciousness from fading away, a testimonial"lump"that might as well compensate the complicated feelings of doubtfulness of the existence of the soul. "I feel like I am able to feel truly alive as I try to portray the slipping away of the soul." He commented. This exhibition shows works that depict "the soul's attachment to the body", and "the body as the container of the soul", adding in flowers as significant symbolic elements to the theme.
H.K considers his works more as landscape paintings than a composition of flowers and human figures . By transforming human figures into landscapes, the human characteristics decade thus make them become more of an obscure figure. The unique spacial composition of "Ma" in Japanese painting also elaborates the presentation of the soul trapped between life and death. The blossoming and decaying of flowers, on the other hand, symbolizes the passage of time. It is a celebration of birth and at the same time, a farewell tribute to death. Flowers serve as an amplification of the image of human. In his works, the two surpass the physical boundaries of flowers and human and purely exist as living creatures of equality. Both serve as the carriers that express the relationships between alive and death as well as body and soul.
This very exhibition may be an inspiration for us to recognize the presence of our soul. We sincerely hope you can enjoy his unique view of the world.
