oments fear of failure. Without the courage to fail, we cripple our capacity to learn.
Life teaches us that tenacity and resiliency are essential. Tenacity is the capacity to hang in there when the going gets rough.  They sound simple. They’re not. Think of them as forms of intelligence. The good news is that they can be developed.
Available at Balboa Press.Whether you’re a dedicated horror fan or fancy something spooky, you can’t go wrong with found footage. This “genre” of movies is based on the idea that the movie you are about to see was real footage, shot by someone long gone, that had been lost and is now being rediscovered for your viewing terror.
Everything you see is ‘real’ – even if you keep reminding yourself ‘it’s just a movie’, you’ll probably be more scared than even in slashers or possession movies. The lingering unease is what makes these films perfect for movie night.
It is not enough to choose the right film to appreciate the found images, although choosing the right film is of the utmost importance. Setting, ambiance and food all matter when planning the perfect movie night. Here is everything you need.
A perfect spooky movie night is all in the setup. What is the lighting arrangement? How cold is the room? Is there good ventilation? These and other questions will haunt your guests long after they leave if you don’t organize them properly.
One thing you need to consider is power, especially what you will do if yours is cut off. Solar generators are the best backup power source on the market, and if you spend time looking for the best solar generator for you, you never have to worry about the killer cutting out the power and leaving you all in the dark.
Next to the actual movie choice, snacks are everything. Popcorn, it must be said, is overrated. 
The perfect movie snacks are veggies and pizza. Indulge in the heavy stuff, then feel good with the veggies.
Research has shown that horror films are good for you – they can cultivate empathy and alleviate stress. In this case, found footage is perfect because it’s the scariest of them all. Here are three underrated picks of films found to screen.
Directed by Japanese master Kōji Shiraishi and released in 2005, noroi is without a doubt the scariest movie you’ve ever heard of – terrifying enough that it built a follow a cult. The convoluted plot includes child psychics, dead dogs, haunted pop idols, and lustful shamans, and it’s all shot in a shaky, disorienting, and deliberately incoherent style.
A group of twenty-somethings buy an abandoned house believed to be haunted in a spooky town where a mass event recently took place. What could go wrong? As it turns out in this ripper of a movie, pretty much everything.
It’s the perfect warm-up short before the movie. A deeply cursed and mind-bending 12-minute short you can find on YouTube is just a man filming POV-style walking loops around what appear to be endless and increasingly creepy hallways in his house.
Warning: watch if you dare!
Sure, horror movies have health benefits, but watch if you dare! Nightmares won’t ruin your health, but no one wants them. Plan accordingly and focus on having fun.
Nia Clouden scored Michigan State's final five points Thursday night to help the Spartans edge Ohio State 68-65 in a Big Ten women's basketball game in East Lansing, Michigan.
After falling behind by as many as seven points in the second half, the Buckeyes took a 65-63 lead on a pair of Madison Greene free throws with 23 seconds to play. But the Spartans kept feeding the ball to Clouden. She was fouled by Dorka Juhasz while making a jumper with 13 seconds left for a three-point play, and then she made two more free throws with six seconds left.
Clouden finished with 20 points.
Ohio State attempted to close the gap, but Greene lost possession while driving the lane with nine seconds remaining, and the Buckeyes (10-7, 3-3) couldn't get off a three-point attempt to try to tie the score as time expired.
The loss snapped a two-game winning streak for the Buckeyes, with their next game Sunday against Illinois (10-7, 3-3) at Value City Arena.
Aaliyah Patty led a balanced effort by Ohio State's offense with 12 points, followed by Jacy Sheldon (11 points), Rebeka Mikulasikova (11 points) and Greene (10 points). Juhasz scored seven and grabbed 10 rebounds.
The Buckeyes rallied in the fourth quarter after struggling to make shots in the third, going over seven minutes between field goals. For the game, they made 40% of their shots from the field, 38.9% of their three-point attempts and 66.7% of their free throws.
Kierstan Bell, a two-time Big Ten freshman of the week, was limited to five points on 2-of-7 shooting from the field. She also had five rebounds and six assists.
The Spartans (10-7, 3-3) picked up their second straight win in conference play after defeating Wisconsin on Sunday.1941 Movie Stills

Michael, Kelly and their three children Anna, Aoife and Oisin from Rathfarnham Dublin, had their Cara Insert installed while renovating their home last year.
Why did he choose a Stanley stove? "Initially it was the safety of having a closed fire that can be left unattended when leaving the house or going to bed. But also with young children it's a lot safer than an open fire, it gives us great piece of mind when they are about."
What do they love about the Cara Insert? "We are so happy with the Cara Insert stove and First Class Fireplaces who did a professional job installing it that we have decided to put the Cara Insert stove in the front room also. It's also worth noting that we took these pictures on one of the hottest days of the year. As soon as the photos were taken we were able to close off the fire by closing the air intake. We love having this controllability which we didn't have with our open fire"
So have you noticed a change in your home heating bills? "We found it very economical to heat our living area and kitchen. It has meant a saving on our gas heating as we tend to have the heating on a lot less. When we do have the heating on we tend to only have the zoned heating on upstairs or we turn off the two radiators in the room as it becomes too hot."
When prompted about their favourite moment. "We have a friend that when she visits likes to open the door on the Cara and listen to the fire. We have told her that the door needs to stay closed for efficiency sake but she still loves to listen to the sound. It's a great focal point in our home"

In this paper we describe an integrated goal-oriented control architecture for onboard decision-making for AUVs. Onboard planning and execution is augmented by state estimation of perceived features of interest in the coastal ocean, to drive platform adaptation. The partitioned architecture is a collection of coordinated control loops, with a recurring sense, plan, act cycle and which allows for plan failures to be localized within a control loop and ensures a divide-and-conquer approach to problem solving in dynamic environments.Everybody’s favourite eternal youngster, Paul Rudd, is coming to our
