with as engrossed as i was with weakest lynx i wasn ' t as impressed with the followup . the transitions switched abruptly . one minute they would be at lynx ' s talking about what they are going to do the next day , then bam ! without warning it ' s the next day in the next sentence and i was left wondering how we ' d gotten there and would have to double back to make sure i didn ' t miss anything . all in all i did however enjoy the puzzles and intrigue that are throughout the book . it seems lynx just can ' t

also , the people from the consejería de medio ambiente have been very happy with the results . the missing lynx has been sold to more than 44 countries , which has made it very successful in building conscience regarding the importance of environmental issues , including the endangered lynx . thanks to the film these ideas have reached a wider audience . " in one of the premieres we had a life - size mascot of felix " , recalls manuel , " when children entered the theater and saw it they got scared . but after the film finished , they were the ones who came out looking for the mascot to hug him and take pictures . " the film has no doubt managed to generate empathy between the characters and the younger audience . additionally , as part of the original deal with consejería de medio ambiente , 20 % of film profits are going to environmental programs managed by the junta de andalucía .

luckily , there are a couple of incompetents on newmann’s team who allow felix to escape as the animals are being snatched , and the lynx is able to set about rescuing them in turn .

it ' s the story that matters . it can make or break a film . we ' ve heard it a thousand times . still , in many cases these phrases don ' t translate into concrete results , especially in the cg medium . ' the missing lynx ' , a film directed by manuel sicilia and raúl garcía , co - produced by spanish actor antonio banderas , may be one of those worthy exceptions to the rule .

amazing i don ' t have time to write a review . i have to go buy the next one ! ! ! hail lynx - she is so bad ass !

a feature film for children that , through the fun adventures of a group of animals , brings attention to the endangered iberian lynx . our first feature film , it was considered worthy of the goya for best animated feature film in 2009 .

an eco - friendly cg - animated yarn about the misadventures of a jinxed feline and his furry , feathered friends , “the missing lynx : paws on the run” puts over its message about species extinction with refreshing straightforwardness and the lightest of touches . working on the assumption that grown - ups already have their opinions on such issues , the easy - on - the - eyes pic plays directly to adolescent auds while respecting their intelligence enough never to descend into simple slapstick . a superior example of spanish animation — itself always on the verge of extinction — the pic has sold well following its late 2008 release at home .

missing lynx is book 2 in the lynx series and was even better than the first book . maybe it ' s because i was familiar with the characters already and felt like i really knew them . lexi is the main character , but this book has quite the cast of characters . i like the way the author got me caught up on what happened in the first book without bogging me down with too much detail . lexi ' s psychic powers seemed to be more of a prominent feature in this book . she ' s working on a case with her iniquis team while trying to deal with a myriad of personal issues . i like a thriller / mystery that also gets me inside the character ' s mind . the first person narration also helped to create a more personal connection to the mc . the ending though , holy cliffhanger . i will definitely need to pick up book 3 .

great news ! if you ' re feeling in a bit of a cavalier mood on this otherwise dull weekend , you ' re not alone ! we missing lynx are equally so excited we can ' t stop our tails wagging . that ' s because we ' ll actually be at the cavalier on offmore here in the metropolis of kidderminster this very saturday night ( sept 9th ) at about 9pm raising the roof with our customary howls of joy . do come along !

as has been said by me many times , am a huge fan of animation . always have been , always will be , so naturally will see any animated film regardless of age , how high budget or not it is and the studio / director it comes from . there are far better animated films than ' the missing lynx ' , naming them however would be unfair but many are likely to put forward the best of disney and pixar . there are also infinitely worse , at least with ' the missing lynx ' some effort was put into it which is more than can be said with far more amateurish efforts from video brinquedo and spark plug entertainment . it ' s not a great film but there are far worse ways to waste one ' s time . it does have some nice detailed backgrounds and some vibrancy in the colours . it has a peppy soundtrack that gives the film energy . while the characters hardly have depth , the protagonists have likable charm and there are a few amusing side characters . children and adults will find things to enjoy in ' the missing lynx ' , more so children because while adults shouldn ' t find it a struggle the flaws will be more apparent . children will like the innocent humour and the lively action as well as the protagonists and side characters , while the adults may admire the good intentions of the environmental message , that thankfully isn ' t as preachy as one would think and that it does try to have an emotional connection . however , not all the animation is great . some of the colours are flat but it ' s the blocky character designs and their stiff movements that fare weakest . the story is too simple and too much of a patchwork of derivative elements except executed in an inferior way . some of the writing similarly misfires , especially in its tendency to inexplicably over - explain . there is nothing to be confused by here for younger audiences and they will have no problem keeping up , so the over - explaining really wasn ' t necessary . while the protagonists and side characters fare decently , the villains are too much like stock caricatures and could have been more threatening . a lot of the voice acting is wooden and some of it is also mismatched . in summary , ' the missing lynx ' is alright but nothing special . 5 / 10 bethany cox

as co - helmed by manuel sicilia and raul garcia , this cg - animated , spanish - language children ' s adventure ( translated as the missing lynx : paws on the run for its release in english - speaking countries ) originated via the production efforts of antonio banderas , though his is not one of the voices on display . the premise concerns a millionaire who becomes obsessed with the idea of constructing a new noah ' s ark - and hires a hunter to kidnap untoward numbers of animals to make this happen . the film follows the animals amid their valiant attempt to escape from the hunter ' s clutches , foil his nefarious plans , and free their captured friends .

6 . 1 . 2 the external equipment the front part of the tiger is where the majority of the external equipment was stored . this equipment was moved to different locations quite often during the production history of the tiger . it would also be moved during the normal wear and tear that the crew and combat would put the tank through . because of this , i can only write about the location of the items when the tank left the factory .

3 . 6 batteries now we should do the batteries . the kit has the batteries mounted at the same position . they were in reality tapered . both should be placed close to the ammo bins , the starboard battery 3mm away from the back of the bin , and the port one 1mm away . for further help see the pictures further on in the text .

7 . 5 the counterbalance cylinder next to the commander ' s seat is the counterbalance cylinder for the gun . in the early tiger this was mounted laterally on the starboard side of the turret . in the late turret is was redesigned and placed vertically in a housing .

7 . 6 . 3 the brücke the main part of the brücke runs from the bottom of the bock to the turret ring on the opposite side . the last diagram shows the brücke decently . start with a 2mm thick plastic rod 55mm long . at 42mm from one end bend the rod upwards . then 10mm from that , bend the rod back straight . it should look like a large starter crank on an old car , or tiger tank . glue the straight end onto the bottom of the bock . glue the other end into the gap between the main gearbox and the first storage bin . the whole thing should be painted red primer , except for the portion on the port side where it comes up above the level of the turret bottom . this should be painted ivory

i very recently read the first book in fiona quinn’s lynx series , ‘weakest lynx’ , and was gobsmacked . it was such a tight , action thriller with touches of the paranormal and populated by some amazing characters , i thought it would be a difficult act to follow . i was wrong , or at least that’s how the author’s superb writing in the sequel , ‘missing lynx’ , makes it appear . all the stuff that made the first book such an outstanding novel is there… and then some ! it just sizzles off the page ! the tale opens with the long - awaited reunion with lexi’s surrogate parent , the mysterious spyder , but if readers are expecting a joyful get - together , and a lot of answers to lexi’s questions , they are in for a shock . almost immediately the novel takes an unexpected twist and we are taken on a fast - paced rollercoaster ride through the protagonist’s new life . things go from complicated to worse - case scenario and soon the protagonist faces deadly threats that easily top what she encountered in the first book . be prepared for a top notch read that will grab you from the first paragraph and have you turning pages like someone possessed as the tale races to its cliff - hanger conclusion . can’t wait to read book 3 ! highly recommended ! an exceptional , addictive , hardnosed thriller that shakes up the genre !

well , in this case , plenty ! what a fab night - a one - set missing lynx special , with one top notch audience and one hot & sweaty band . a couple of great old lynx numbers made it back into the set - well , it was a nice day for a white wedding after all - and what was this ? old father garth rolls up on stage , all tux and trousers , and launches into a fabulous rendition of wonderwall for the entertainment of the massed and suprisingly rather tuneful crowd . after that , it was heads down no nonsense boogie as we once again ripped into some mighty tunes whilst the dancefloor shook uncontrollably , all finished off with a frantic bout of rock n roll over beethoven .

5 . 7 roof brace now we move back to the roof brace . this was already put in at step 5 , but a few things are missing . on the starboard side , the large opening should be filled with plastic card . then get some of the kits ammo bags , parts e4 , and put them around the front side of the roof brace and the adjacent wall . next are three small boxes mounted on the bow side of the starboard half and the bow and aft sides of the port half . the boxes were all the same size , 1mm thick , 3mm wide , and 5mm tall . these boxes should be mounted 2mm from the top of the roof brace and 15mm from the wall . on the aft side of the starboard half there was a small gearbox instead of a storage box . the gearbox is the same size as the other boxes , exept it is tilted at the same angle as the edge of the roof brace . this box had five wires coming out of it . two of the wires came out the bottom . the other three came out the top of the gearbox and went though the most starboard of the small holes in the roof brace . all of the wires ran down the edge of the roof brace in a hollow conduit . lastly two atemschlauch breathing tubes need to be put on the roof brace . these should be made from 1 . 5mm thick plastic tube cut to 15mm long . there are ten small holes in the roof brace . the tubes should cover three of these each , leaving the end one exposed .

well , what a great night we lynx had rocking with the fine people of bewdley at the mug house beer festival last night . thanks to drew and the team , and to one and all for coming along - some fine community singing and dodgy dad dancing ! see you next time

i been watching animated movies made in spain for about 4 years now and i gotta say spanish people make cute animated movies . but i think " the missing lynx " is cuter , funnier and it looks better . the movie tells the story of felix , a lazy and unlucky iberian lynx , who ' s staying in a animal recovery center in donana national park . then , he learns about noah ( noe in spanish ) , a eccentric millionaire who tries to create a so - called " noah ' s ark " for endangered animals . along with a group of friends : gus , a paranoid chameleon ; beeety ( beeea in spanish ) , a " dare - devil " like goat ; astarte , a brave female falcon and rupert , a almost - blind mole , felix tries to ruin noah ' s plans . on the way , felix falls for a female lynx called lynxette ( lincesa in spanish ) . well , i gotta admit , the story seems weak and a little predictable . but overall , " the missing lynx " is a great spanish movie for kids and full of entertainment . i loved all the characters in the movie , especially gus . he made me laugh so hard with all his paranoid stuff . the movie also leaves a good message for protecting the endangered animals from destruction . do i recommend this movie ? yep , totally . cuz it ' s really gonna entertain both kids and adults of every age . big shout - out to raul garcia , manuel sicilia and antonio banderas for making this movie . they did a great job . 9 / 10

in this second installment of the fast - paced lynx series , story questions revolve around lexi sobado , the protagonist and psychic analyst for iniquus , a shadowy black ops type group , when her mentor’s health takes a turn for the worse . the psychic world that lexi inhabits , with her ability to fade into shadows and such , felt utterly believable . the level of detail in the action scenes also lends to the authenticity of the story and it’s clear the author knows her stuff and had a lot of fun writi

* * * quinn ' s kick - ass heroine returns * * * fiona quinn ' s kick - ass heroine returns in the second instalment of lexi ' s adventures . sequels are tricky things - especially when the first book was so good - but ms . quinn ' s writing continues to thrill . there is no shortage of incidents , and the pace never slackens as lexi finds herself once more up to her jugular in trouble . highly recommended for those action lovers who are sick of archetype white male heroes . ' missing lynx ' does exactly what it says on the label .

a smart , well - written thriller . although i didn ' t read the first book in the series , the characters were well - developed , and i didn ' t feel like i was missing out or couldn ' t follow the plot . great writing , great suspense , great characters . possible spoiler . . . . this ends with a major cliff - hanger , but the author includes the first chapter of book # 3 . . . sigh of relief !

3 . 8 shocks the last thing we must do to the lower hull interior is modify the shocks . the kit shocks are both mounted in the wrong position . we should start by removing the molded location lines for the shocks . while we are at it , remove the location lines for the radio operator ' s seat support , starboard side by the shock ' s location lines . the port shock should be mounted onto the third torsion bar and sloped back until it is over the fourth torsion bar , a few millimeters away from the roof brace . for the starboard shock we must do more work . the kit has the shock sloping back like the port one . it should be facing forward . cut off the part of the shock that mounts to the torsion bar . glue this to the opposite side of the shock . it should look identical to the port one . mount this to the second torsion bar sloping forward until it is 27mm away from the front of the tank

5 . 1 the transmission the kit transmission can be built as is . the paint scheme shown in the instruction book is very odd . the transmission should be painted in red primer .

8 . 1 . 4 jig boom sockets starting in june 1944 , three sockets for the jig boom , used for mounting the behelfskran to lift the rear decking , were mounted on tigers . these can be made from 1 . 5mm wide hollow tube cut to 1mm high . one should be on the starboard side of the turret 8mm from the side of the turret roof and 27 from the front , in front of the loader ' s hatch . another on the port side 8mm from the side of the turret roof and 27 from the front , in front of the commander ' s copula . the last in the rear of the turret . this socket was centered and along the rear edge of the roof .

this is a good animation movie . the characters are well done , the animation works fine and is also well illuminated . the humans characters design are similar to others we had seen in other movies , but well animated . lot of action , and nice scenes . in the original version ( spanish ) the jokes were ok , not the usual easy humor for kids , so isn ' t boring for adults . and the most important thing is the story . remember you about the imprisioned animals ( like in madagascar ) and presents you a wild cat , the spanish lynx : pardel or iberian lynx , which is a endangered animal . for all these reasons i will recommend to everyone this movie , not a must see but a nice animated story to watch with the kids or with everyone who loves animals .

the missing lynx was screened publicly for the first time in animadrid , the spanish animation festival . " we were scared " , says manuel , " the beginning of the film runs pretty quietly so we were scared for a while " . sergio de la puente , who composed the remarkable music for the film , was there too . " sergio was terrified . would people like it ? " then they noticed kids weren ' t speaking because their attention was focused on the film , and began to breathe easier . " people started to laugh , and they did it at the moments we expected . at that point we said , ok , this is working . " a particular part of the film that pays homage to spanish documentarist felix rodriguez de la fuente ( the main character , felix , is named after him ) brought a round of applause from the audience . " from that part on we were able to relax and enjoy the film . "

an orphan boy named tim is afraid of the dark . however when the stars start going out in the sky he finds himself exploring the world of the night his new friend , the cat shepard , to find out why .

7 . 4 . 2 the pistol port the pistol port was installed on turrets before october 1943 . the kit includes the exterior portion of this , part k19 . but like so many parts of the kit the designers have forgotten the interior portion . the following instructions only apply if the pistol port is plugged and not removed for use . start by making a water - droplet shaped plate . this will form the plug for the port . the two straight sections of the droplet are 4mm long . the semicircle at the bottom of the droplet is 5mm in diameter . it should be 1mm thick . in the center of the semicircle glue a 1mm thick 2mm long rod . then glue the assembly on the inside of the turret , opposite where part k19 is on the exterior . next , to the left and down from the plug glue another 1mm thick by 2mm long rod . it should be 3mm away from the plug . lastly , attach two small chains , one 9mm long the other 4mm , between the two 1mm by 2mm rods .

i really loved it lynx is an amazing character the whole story was awesome except for the jail part for me that was to long but the escape , well that was just awesome the ending was totally mind blowing and when i got to the end at 1am with such a cliffhanger i had to start chain kynx just to see what happened next lol talk about addictive reading i am totally hooked .

4 . 6 the cooling fans if you put the cooling fans in as they are in the kit , they are too low in the hull . we will need to move them up a bit . make sure that the glue used on the radiators is dry , otherwise they will slide . then insert the fans . the large circle , where the gearboxes were placed , should be completely covered by the fans . the kit leaves it exposed . the fan drives , like the fuel tanks , are unpainted metal .

i wasn ' t as impressed with the followup . the transitions switched abruptly . one minute they would be at lynx ' s talking about what they are going to do the next day , then bam ! without warning it ' s the next day in the next sentence and i was left wondering how we ' d gotten there and would have to double back to make sure i didn ' t miss anything . all in all i did however enjoy the puzzles and intrigue that are throughout the book . it seems lynx just can ' t catch a break . we get a bit of spyder in this one but not as much as i ' d hoped . i still have lingering questions .

7 . 8 . 1 . 1 attachment for cam to gun next we should build the attachment for the counterbalance cam to the gun . take a 15mm long 2mm wide strip of thin plastic card . round off what is to be the aft end of the part . also , cut the strip at an angle from the lower front corner to the topside 8mm from where the piece ends . then glue it along the outside of part j8 . the aft side should end up over the back part cam . lastly , attach a chain from the cam to the rear side of the previous part .

the artists built a library of 3d elements that was used to quickly give form to landscapes and then concentrate on polishing and giving final shape . when water was required , animated maps were used to emulate it , and for close up shots of liquids the team resorted to particles . lighting was considered an essential aspect of the film by the directors . manuel thinks that using global illumination or ambient occlusion poses the risk of making cg animated films look too much alike , and that it ' s important to have a clear intention behind the lighting design of a scene . the missing lynx team used ambient occlusion to speed up rendering , but they put special care in the lighting process , with the aim of conveying emotions , providing special moods for certain scenes ( such as the jungle - like green light in the final fight between felix and newman ) , and capturing the colors and light characteristic of southern spain . part of the team from kandor actually traveled to places such as the desert of almería , to observe the vegetation , animals , colors and effects of light from up close . the result of all this hard work can be readily appreciated in the film , as well as the attention dedicated to texturing .

a group of animals led by felix , the lynx , tries to escape from the clutches of an unscrupulous hunter and an eccentric millionaire with a secret plan . after traipsing through several different areas of the andalusian countryside , they arrive at the acebuche ( doñana natural park ) , where several puzzling disappearances of animals have taken place . felix and his companions will have to join forces to survive and solve the mystery .

7 . 8 . 1 the breach in the late version turret , the breach was angular in shape . to portray this in our model , sand the breach at a 45 - degree angle where the kit part curves . all traces of the curve should be gone . the length of the new section should be 4mm .

3 . 1 . 1 longitudinal struts the longitudinal struts , the two largest struts run from the rear to the front of the tank . we will need to make these from the smallest width plastic strip we can find , as the real struts were only 10mm thick . the strip i am using for all of these small things is 0 . 5mm . the real struts were 200mm tall . in 1 / 35 this is about 6mm . because the kit has the torsion bars mounted on the floor , they were in reality not touching the floor , of course , the struts need to be shorter . i found that plastic strip 4mm tall was the best . any taller and the struts appeared to be too tall . the starboard side strut must be at least 100mm long , the port 110mm . you might want to go a bit longer just in case . the strut on the starboard side stops just short of the front torsion bar . the port strut goes all the way to the front of the hull . this brings them up to the firewall . anything on the floor past the firewall can ' t be seen because of the large engine . now we should place the struts in the lower hull . the lower hull comes with the beginnings of the torsion bars already molded . this works out well for us , because where the molded part ends is exactly where the torsion bars went through the struts . the molded torsion bar parts have locating pins that need removal for the struts to fit snugly . there are two more longitudinal struts over the first five torsion bars that need to be modeled . these struts should be made from the same 4mm plastic strip cut to 47mm long . they should be placed 4mm to the center of the tank from the other longitudinal struts .

it stars daniel wooster as the nomad , a vigilante sent into the badlands by a preacher ( colm feore ) .

it was shot in the summer of 2006 , primarily around the desert town of drumheller , alberta .

in short , " homeland " season five ( a daesh plot in germany ) , was far superior to season six .

two novellas set in this world are slated for publication by the end of 2014 , and the third main volume , the doors of stone , has been completed in draft form . if you’re a fantasy fan , you probably know about the kingkiller chronicle already . but soon , like game of thrones , everyone will know it and love it . here are six reasons why :

why not open up season two in black and white with just one hot pink teddy bear floating in a pool ? why not play with wide - angle lenses and other visual techniques ? why not juxtapose action sequences with long , slow shots of the desert ? lots of shows don ' t take even these small risks , but breaking bad pulls no punches .

“six flying dragons” tells the stories of the ambitions and successions of six important characters during the founding of the joseon dynasty , with a focus on the young prince lee bang won . the first episode aired on october 5 , 10 p . m . kst .

choose scenarios that would fit naturally into your protagonist’s life . that is why the friend character and the love interest are great to use . they are already there .

from a supporting cast boasting serious screen presence and talent to the hottest mainstream actors , the cast of “ six flying dragons ” encompasses a wide range of generations . the “six dragons” are played by big names such as yoo ah in , shin se kyung , kim myung min , byun yo han , yoon gyun sang , and chun ho jin .

six reasons was was born into the challenge of life as a young man in the famously gang - riddled neighborhood of los angeles ' watts neighborhood . one of 6 children in a single parent home which was actually a 1 / 2 parent home , he watched up close , as his mother struggled with addiction . witnessing the violent deaths of many friends and family . . .

but a rep for heizer told page six that the actors are actually just pals on tuesday , saying , “this is a false report . miles and brandon are friends from the show but are not dating . ”

yet when the latest season begins on monday june 4 , it will be in front of an unexpected following . the show ' s previous series have drawn graduates , bibliophiles , radio 4 listeners . but why ?

unfortunately , the currently airing sixth season of " homeland " is idiotic . the writers have abandoned all pretense of american spy - world reality . here are season six ' s five stupidest things ( spoilers lie ahead ) .

although “six flying dragons” takes place 700 years after “the great queen seon deok , ” it takes place in the same fictional , pseudo - historical world as the masterpiece and “a tree with deep roots . ” in fact , “six flying dragons” is considered the “prequel” to “a tree with deep roots . ” fans of both dramas will be sure to be interested in the similarities between the stories , especially as they were all written by the same scriptwriting team .

for why it would all be fine , fine , fine after we left the eu . this is all definitively explained , first by its low price , and second by nigella lawson’s keen observation that it had such an uptick on her mood that

something is going to form how we think , what we value , what we desire . why are we so moralistic about our physical diet , but so laissez - faire about our intellectual and emotional intake ? credit : archive holdings / getty images

this scheming is a huge departure from the dar of previous seasons . first off , until now , dar has been a longstanding public servant . why would he betray the u . s . at so many levels ? even assuming , which seems likely at this point , that he is an israeli agent , why would dar engage in the bomb conspiracy ? why would he risk the blowback of taking the child of a private citizen ( carrie ) ? these are not just acts of gross criminality , they are acts of treason so varied that they are likely to eventually find public attention . remember : rule number one in intelligence is to not get caught . but dar seems to want to end up in prison for the rest of his life .

these are only her first steps on a long journey . karigan soon finds herself battling monsters and befriending ghosts , embroiled in court politics and tracing the roads of her rough country . as a wealthy merchant’s daughter , she never imagined living a vagabond existence , invested with magics and a purpose that often runs contrary to her own desires . being chosen as a green rider is not something you can shrug off like your morning classes . if you’ve yet to ride with her , here are six reasons you should step out onto that road , and into all the adventure that awaits .

we all knew scorpion was going to be the summer banger we wanted . however , drake surprised us with two sides of an album and two sides of himself . mixing rap and r & b ; was genius on his part , so why not dedicate 37 of his lyrics to our instagram captions ?

i found iron cast to be a very entertaining read . while i found it just a little bit slow in the beginning , the characters were so interesting and the concept was amazing that i had to keep reading just to see how everything played out . i must say i wasn’t disappointed . here’s why :

so this world book day , why not try to find something to read that you love - something you can ' t put down ? perhaps reading is not for everybody . but it ' s probably capable of enhancing the lives of a great many people who ' ve forgotten to give it a proper go .

in contrast to many historical dramas , “six flying dragons” focuses on the youth of lee bang won ( yoo ah in’s character ) , who helped build the foundation of the joseon dynasty and later became king . with many of the main actors still under thirty , the cast is expected to bring youthful energy to their performances .

for fans eager for more after binging all of “13 reasons , ” a little social media sleuthing has turned up two friends who can’t get enough of one another . the bromance even has some , particularly “shippers” ( fans who obsess over a romantic entanglement of their favorite characters and actors ) , speculating if there’s more going on . it’s almost as like fan fiction come to life .

a review on monday of foreign agent registration act records show that since may 31 , six u . s . companies or individuals have registered new qatari lobbying contracts with the department of justice . that number includes the major firms ogilvy ( which is being paid $ 10 , 000 per month ) and portland pr ( $ 20 , 000 per month ) .

that’s because the duo’s relationship is the exact opposite of that on the show , where flynn’s justin foley dates jessica davis ( played by alisha boe ) , whose ex is none other than heizer’s alex standall . the show , executive produced by selena gomez , focuses on a high school student who commits suicide and leaves behind 13 cassette tapes explaining why .

if it ' s not actively selected reading material ( among other things ) that influences us , it ' s going to be passively received advertising , the choices and examples of friends , the mores ( god forbid ) of social media . why are we so moralistic about our physical diet , and so laissez - faire about our intellectual and emotional diet ?

on the other hand , research carried out in 2014 reported that 58 % of australians claimed to have read a fiction or non - fiction book in the previous three months . either something pretty dramatic happened in those six years ; people are fibbing about their reading habits ; or we perhaps shouldn ' t be too quick to believe everything we , well , read .

yet it exacts a price later , when the carbonation , alcohol and sugar – dentistry’s axis of evil – destroy your teeth , variously stripping their enamel , making holes in them and pulling them out of your gums . dr mervyn druian , of the london centre for cosmetic dentistry , warned that women , especially , were putting themselves at risk of a “prosecco smile” , taking the opportunity presented by oral health to underline to the uppity drunk ladies that when you’re not pretty , nobody loves you and then you die , like in a melanie martinez song . if i were a young woman , this would only encourage me ; but being the bearer of an ex - smoker and fanta - drinker’s smile , i care about teeth , and proffer six other good reasons to stop drinking it .

the ioc set a contract deadline of sept . 13 for an event that won ' t happen for another 11 years . that ' s their choice , but why is l . a . so willing to go along ? the city council has claimed that they ' re not willing to host the olympics " at any cost . " we should all have more time to parse this out .

the script for “six flying dragons” was written by the team that brought us three hit historical dramas : “ jewel in the palace , ” “ the great queen seon deok , ” and “ a tree with deep roots . ” kim young hyun and park sang yeon have penned some of south korea’s best historical dramas and for this drama they are reuniting with director shin kyung soo , who directed “a tree with deep roots . ”

said picture took me 25 minutes to take because i was scared & i only took it because my best friend is the greatest hype woman of all time . i ' ll admit , it ' s one of my favorite pictures and i do look oh so good , but here ' s the question : if i look good , why does it matter if i wear a 2 , 12 , 22 , 452 ?

it ' s been six years since war ravaged the sector , and the terran dominion is still struggling with the dark legacy of arcturus ' s rule . emperor valerian has made stunning reforms to the military—particularly to the ghost program—as part of his pledge to lead with justice and humanity . but can he hold to his enlightened philosophy when the gauss spikes start flying ? or will he find that he has more in common with his father than he thought ?

most of the " good " guys from earth were latino . they were car thieves , criminals and living in the slum . let ' s hope that was a coincidence that they were mostly latino and not some kind of racist statement . matt damon spoke spanish at times too . they didn ' t go into any background to explain why everyone on earth was latino . i ' ll try not to read anything into that , but it was at least odd .

i used to hate my body , hate everything about it honestly . i spent two years conditioning myself , understanding why my body is the way it is and learning to love it . every curve , every bump , every bruise , every a pimple . . it doesn ' t matter if i ' m not as skinny as selena gomez or as " thicc " as kim k , i am exactly every bit of who i am supposed to be . no more , no less .

the chosen one as a trope is worn quite smooth in fantasy fiction : frodo baggins , harry potter , rand al’thor , and a million others . but rothfuss may be a chosen one in real life . consider : daw books published a 16 - page mini - book giveaway in advance of the name of the wind . i received it in fall 2006 , about six months before publication , packaged with realms of fantasy magazine . on the cover of the mini book was a quote from fantasy royalty terry brooks :

2 . even at a tenner a bottle , it is plainly cheaper than champagne , yet the price can go as low as £3 . 33 a bottle , with no discernible impact on its taste . i’m not a stickler , but this isn’t a wine , this is an alcohol delivery system . that lowest price , by the way , was recorded at lidl , when they were offering six bottles for 20 quid , generating queues outside the bristol store that gathered at 6 . 50am . two words : roman empire . no , wait , three more words : decline of the .

i don’t think the love triangle as a concept is particularly beloved among readers , so pointing one out may not make my case . nonetheless , the green rider series details a love triangle that will absolutely break your heart . karigan , after committing fully to the green riders , gets to know the young king zachary , and they knock sparks off one another . but for political reasons , zachary ends up betrothed to the beautiful lady estora . estora is a lovely person , a friend to karigan despite karigan’s occasional nasty jealousy . the most painful love triangles are ones where everyone involved is a decent person , and they are all committed to their duties despite their wayward hearts . there are no good choices here , only correct ones .

we know , for example , that the man in the hat ( the evil protagonist and bomb delivery man ) waltzed into the delivery truck depot to plant his bomb . was he not fearful of being caught on camera ? or spotted leaving ? but the bomb was also comparatively powerful . the fbi would quickly have sourced the explosives used and method of bomb construction . this would have led investigators to believe that sekou was not acting alone . thus the whole premise of sekou ' s lone - wolf framing would have evaporated on day one or two of the investigation . the man in the hat and his co - conspirators would have big problems . why didn ' t they just plant ieds in sekou and a few others homes ?

a close u . s . ally , in reality , israel also regularly acts in detachment from u . s . interests . on espionage , for example . still , season six takes this detachment into another universe . this season we have seen the israelis kidnap a senior cia officer and conspire against the president - elect . the writers ' premise is that the israelis are so adamantly opposed to the iran nuclear deal that they will do anything to destroy it . but this is simplistic stupidity . in reality , while longstanding israeli security policy rests on influencing u . s . policy , it is always calibrated to maintain a baseline of u . s . relations . sadly , in " homeland , " it now even seems feasible that the israelis might assassinate the president - elect . this is nuts .

i don ' t like putting spoilers in my movie reviews , so i ' ll refrain here , but know that the movie is filled with plot hole silliness . the plot , which i ' ll describe at a very high level , essentially revolves around software the " bad " guys had , which the " good " guys stole and used against the " bad " guys to try and end their way of life . my question…why did the " bad " guys go to so much effort to write software that could be used against them ? perhaps if it didn ' t exist in the first place , there would be no threat…no plot…no movie . that would have been a huge favor to all of us . there many other plot holes as well , but i think they assumed you would ignore them because of the special effects and the overall concept . instead , may i suggest you choose to ignore the entire movie .

the book is about a girl named hannah baker who kills herself and leaves behind tapes for thirteen people to listen to as they were the reasons she committed suicide . there are some visions the main character clay has of hannah with bloodied wrists , but the most disturbing , graphic part of the entire show is the final episode . you know from the first episode that hannah commits suicide . however , in the book she is said to have taken a handful of pills , while in the show , she slits her wrists . in the final episode of the season , it shows hannah killing herself . it shows her getting into a bathtub , taking a razor blade to her wrist and slicing them open . it does not hide anything . it shows an immense amount of blood coming from her wrists and shows her laying there in the tub allowing the water to turn red . it shows her parents finding her . personally , i am not good with blood . after watching this very graphic scene , i did not physically feel well . i was sick to my stomach for the rest of the day . showing the scene is very powerful , but it could be a trigger or be something you may not want to watch if you are not okay with seeing blood .

tv and radio advertising are expensive , but necessary , and phone aps are often just as costly . replacing one or more of these forms of advertising methods can help to keep more bottom line profit . for example , instead of purchasing a dozen spots on the radio , cut this contract in half and alert visitors to watch for the big bright balloon . this will perk up ears and create traffic that would not otherwise search for intriguing ad balloons . sending out press releases on an exciting grand opening , sales event or new line of products is a great way to get free advertising to a large volume of people . invite the local media , explaining why your store is newsworthy and make sure that you do not disappoint . build up one item or service that is sought after and use your new marketing strategy to promote . for instance , have smaller inflatable balloons or banners surround your highlighted product and service that can easily be seen when customers enter your store . a huge 20 - foot branded promotional balloon , securely tied down on your building ' s rooftop , gives more visibility than a billboard . add 3 o4 4 promo flags outside of your entrance that announce specific brand names or popular subjects . many people may not know exactly what type of merchandise you carry on a regular basis . keep your giant inflatables generic in nature and focus on one or two popular items within the store for smaller inflatable advertising . inflatable advertising does not have to be used only once , but with each new advertising campaign . the intrigue of your ad balloons will never wear thin .

in a future where society has come full circle and man lives by the code of the guns at his side , a fugitive , a vengeful son , a killer , and a servant stand in a four - way face - off from which only one man can walk away . to the east lies seven boomtowns connected by railroad , and to the west is a utopian community that cowers in fear of the outside world . dividing these two areas is an arid stretch of desert known only as " the badlands . " now , these four gunmen stand facing one another with their fingers on their triggers , their fates won ' t be known until the gun smoke clears .

it takes place in the future , but that ' s just a time frame . of the fact that it ' s in the future you will only see two visual hints . i won ' t name ' em . this is a western that harks to old eastwood ' fistful of dollars ' style but done 21st centurywise . the directing and camera work is done spare and elegant . you start off thinking it ' s being done cheap - - but it isn ' t . the creators have an innate feel and understanding of what the adult ' western ' sought to illuminate . the focus are the men and their pasts , all strangers meeting in the desert . and the desert as a crucible from which the truth and survival is forged . there are no spoilers here , that would be an insult to the film ' s creators . . . so have a brew or a glass ready nearby and watch the movie . and just try to figure out who is who . the ending will surprise you .

the people in kinglake refer to their hometown as " the mountain " . at about 600 metres above sea level , kinglake has a microclimate colder and wetter than the surrounding terrain . despite being just 46 kilometres north of the city , the locals have a culture unto their own . here they grow berries , great potatoes and have great areas of forest that have regenerated since the 2009 fires . because their town is often cloaked in mist , their annual bluegrass shindig is called the foggy mountain bluegrass festival . it is a fun weekend kicking off on october 13 with a community bush dance . heading the bill are the davidson brothers from yinnar in gippsland alongside the cherry pickers , the knott family band , brucellosis and iconic renegade band from adelaide , the beards , who will also be judging the best beard competition in which hirsute local men say ' ' no ' ' to domestic violence . this is a great little festival that still has a community feel with performances in cafes and the pub throughout the weekend . because kinglake doesn ' t have a lot of accommodation , visitors are encouraged to park their caravan or pitch tents behind the kinglake hotel , which features a fire pit around which , judging from previous years , will be lots of late night jamming .

wombat park is one of the most beautiful children ' s playgrounds in the country . right in the heart of kinglake , bordered by forest and overlooking green rolling hills is bollygum adventure playground . based on the popular children ' s book bollygum by author garry fleming , this is a wonderland of hiding and playing spaces , swings and cubby houses , dry creeks , bowerbird nests , ramparts and keeps . it is also home to the bollygum community market held on the second sunday of the month , 10am to 2pm from september to may .

masons falls are a dramatic series of a dozen cascades that drop some 40 metres over ancient silt stone ledges through the mountain grey gum forest . the resident lyrebird near the car park is presently in full song with the songs of about 10 birds he mimics perfectly , including magpies , eastern rosellas and currawongs .

it’s a story you hear over and over , from retirement planning experts all around the country . “when you retire , you’ll be in a lower tax bracket ! ” sure it sounds good , and it’s certainly something we want to be true , but this fallacy is hurting the people who don’t know any better than to believe it .

many of the people who fall for this line don’t realize that when you’re young , or middle - aged and working , you have a lot of different deductions to take on your taxes . you may be able to deduct interest on your house payments , exemptions for student loan interest , exemptions for dependent children who live with you , deductions and credits for retirement plan contributions , health coverage , and so on . and while retirees may have given charities monetary donations while they were working , now they give time—but time isn’t a deductible expense .

it’s doubtful that you’ll still have underage children to support while you’re in retirement . you’ll also lose all the associated tax breaks , such as those for childcare .

it’s never a good idea to head into retirement with debt , which likely means your home will be paid off before you leave the workforce . as you age and pay down your principal , your mortgage interest expenses will drop dramatically , thereby increasing your taxes and possibly making it even harder to contribute to your retirement accounts .

your student loans are likely to be paid off by the time you reach retirement , so you will no longer have that interest deduction to write off .

some accounts , such as the traditional ira , have age limits for contributors . but even if you have accounts with no age limits , you probably won’t be contributing to them when you no longer have an income .

most retirees switch from donating money to donating time once they leave the workforce . time is an amazing gift , but it’s not tax deductible .

as a retiree on medicare , you won’t have use for hsas anymore and you’ll have no employer offering a flex account , so you’ll lose that contribution . worse , you may even begin taking qualified distributions from your hsa , which can increase your provisional income and may be subject to penalties .

a standard deduction and a personal exemption—and the standard deduction is often much less than the itemized deductions the senior was taking during their working life .

the end result ? retirees are being pushed into the same or higher tax bracket than they were in when working , even while their income is lower .

this is a carefully designed strategy that pushes advisors to dig deeper into the process of tax diversification rather than simply believing—and telling their clients—the old adage that retired people pay less in taxes because , as you now know , they don’t .

on my forbes beat i cover many new , disruptive technologies – innovations with their fair share of frothy hyperbole . to balance such froth , i try to bring a measured dose of skepticism , not to be some kind of debbie downer , but rather to help people cut through the hype to gain a clearer understanding of the topic at hand .

however , there is one topic – in fact , family of topics – for which i am unapologetically a skeptic through and through : bitcoin and blockchain .

as early as 2015 , i wondered whether bitcoin had a real purpose . i poked my stick at the radical libertarians who hope bitcoin will lead to the destruction of the global financial system .

i’ve opined on whether bitcoin’s ‘hard fork’ fix for scalability issues would be fatal to the cryptocurrency , or a the least , whether the fix would be illegal .

i’ve compared bitcoin to blood diamonds , pointing out that bitcoin’s illegal uses are responsible for propping up its value .

given this history of contrarian opinion , you might think i’m somehow prejudiced against bitcoin and blockchain .

a bitcoin mining rig from 2014 . today , the profitable ones fill entire data centers .

in fact , i’m a huge proponent of new , disruptive technologies and their applications – blockchain and bitcoin included .

as an industry analyst , however , my role is to provide insight into disruptive trends in the market . given the peculiar characteristics of both bitcoin and blockchain , such insight must necessarily come from a skeptical position – not just by me , but from cooler heads generally .

the hype is out of control . in bitcoin circles , fanatics tend to dominate discussions , drowning out more reasonable voices . such voices , therefore , have largely packed up their bags and gone elsewhere .

the same thing is happening with blockchain . there are so many ‘blockchain is revolutionary’ or ‘blockchain is changing the world’ articles that people get caught up in the fervor . “we worry about the hype , ” say marco iansiti , and karim r . lakhani , professors at harvard university . “it would be a mistake to rush headlong into blockchain innovation without understanding how it is likely to take hold . ”

solutions looking for problems . the typical technology innovation pattern is for many people or companies to have a difficult problem . one or more vendors note the problem and come up with novel solutions for it . deals are made , and lo and behold , a market is born .

not so with blockchain . in this case , blockchain aficionados looked at the technology , and started brainstorming possible use cases . maybe there are business problems out there that blockchain is best suited solve , and maybe not – but people are starting at the wrong end of the equation .

complications from the bitcoin bubble . bitcoin is certainly in a speculative bubble , and bubbles always pop eventually . but there’s something intrinsically different about the bitcoin bubble when compared to all bubbles previous , from the tulip mania to the dot - com craze .

the difference : bitcoin / blockchain is both the investment as well as the medium of exchange . when the tulip bubble popped , the gold and silver economy of the day survived without a scratch . and the dot - com bust didn’t affect how we spent our money or invested in stocks .

but when the bitcoin bubble bursts , it’s quite possible that the entire transactional framework around bitcoin will itself collapse . it’s certainly true that i may be overstating this risk – but risk there is nevertheless .

decentralization of transactions will always be at odds with crime and compliance issues . everybody realizes that it’s possible to steal bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies , and it’s also widely known that bitcoin is the payment of choice for ransomware perpetrators , dark web participants , and other ne’er - do - wells . furthermore , cryptocurrency thefts and illegal transactions are all too easy and all too untraceable .

the bigger picture here , however , is that these challenges – as well as the challenges of regulating bitcoin or any other blockchain - based transactional system – are due to the technologies’ inherent decentralization .

in other words , we’d have to give up the primary reason to use bitcoin or blockchain in order to fix these problems .

the ‘selfish interests’ or ‘51 % ’ problem . because of its essentially distributed nature , any blockchain - based transactional system depends upon the cooperation of most of its participants . if 51 % of them decide to screw over the remaining 49 % , therefore , there’s nothing the minority can do about it .

some people think this problem is even worse – perhaps allowing as few as one third of the participants to form a cabal of sorts that will eventually take control . “the [ blockchain - based bitcoin ] protocol can be gamed by people with selfish interests , ” explain ittay eyal , post - doc at cornell university and his professor at cornell , emin gün sirer . “and once the system veers away from the happy mode where everyone is honest , there is no force that opposes the growth of really large pools that command control of the currency . ”

electricity . it’s a well - known but oft - ignored fact of bitcoin that mining bitcoins takes electricity – a lot of electricity . furthermore , any blockchain technology that depends upon the same kind of proof of work mechanism behind bitcoin mining will consume vast quantities of power as well .

while bitcoin aficionados realize that electricity costs factor into the economics of mining , there is a bigger problem here . if even 10 % of the nascent blockchain business models out there clamoring for attention get off the ground , their electricity consumption will be enormous – and will continue to grow with no end in sight .

if blockchain - based business models take hold , therefore , they will consume such vast quantities of power that the mere exhaust from their air conditioners will complete the melting of the ice caps .

a word of final advice : treat both bitcoin and blockchain as disruptive innovations with both enormous potential and commensurate risk . we all want to focus on the potential , but doing so without a sober look at the underlying risk is a fool’s errand .

ave you ever introduced toys into the bedroom to spice things up ? cricketer andrew flintoff has – although his toy of choice is a little bit more left - field than usual .

in the new channel 4 show married to a celebrity : the survival guide , flintoff revealed that he wears a fitbit activity tracker during sex to encourage him to " work a bit harder to impress his wife . " his wife rachel seemed far from impressed , however , describing his coital monitoring as " weird " and " really wrong . "

sorry rachel , but we ' re with freddie on this one . research has proven that we burn 3 . 6 calories per minute during sex – more than during a brisk walk . and there are a range of other health benefits that come from sex , as we reveal below .

so stop slogging and start snogging ( your legitimate partner – no naughty affairs please ) .

, stressful activities such as public speaking caused more stress to people who had not recently had sex .

getting frisky between the sheets has been found to lower your cortisol levels , which is also known as the stress hormone . even a hug boosts our oxytocin levels and makes us feel more calm .

can also release stress and tension stored in the psoas – one of the major muscles around your pelvis . this muscle doesn ' t really get stretched much , unless you ' re crazy for yoga .

fear of a common cold is the bane of every office workers life . so rejoice , because sex can actually help you keep your immune system ticking over .

a report from wilkes university , showed that having sex once or twice a week is linked with higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin a , which can protect you from getting colds .

men who averaged 4 . 6 to 7 ejaculations a week were 36 per cent less likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer before the age of 70 than men who ejaculated less than 2 . 3 times a week on average .

in the early 1980s , researchers surveyed the sexual frequency of 918 healthy male , middle - aged villager s in caerphilly , wales . they checked back on the welshmen ten years later , and found that compared with men who had had sex just once a month , those who reported having it twice a week had half the death rate .

atters of the heart can oft cause a headache or two . should i swipe right or left ? to ghost or not to ghost ? but , while you are doing the deed you may find these headaches improve . a 2013 study , asked 1 , 000 patients if their migraine improved during sex , with

. so next time you ' ve got a sore head , don ' t reach for the medicine cabinet , go for the bedpost .

t makes sense that less stress results in less tossing and turning ( of the sleep variety ) at bedtime . but more specifically having an orgasm releases a hormone called prolactin , which is

1 . river island have a prosecco slogan t - shirt – “i’ll be there in a prosecco” – and they’re not the only ones . suffice to say that the kind of people who advertise their drink on a t - shirt are the kind you shouldn’t be drinking the same drink as .

3 . in the olden days , if you wanted to get drunk on bubbles but couldn’t afford champagne , you would drink beer . the more or less wholesale replacement of “fizz” with a “cheaper thing that is also fizzy” has a kind of resigned permanence , as though we’re reconciled to being a nation with less to celebrate and less money to do it with .

4 . prosecco has that inexplicable , unmarketable status as the drink you drink when it would be inappropriate to drink a proper drink , a bit like pimm’s without the vitamins . you can drink it on a playdate , or at 11am , or anytime you are on a boat , whatever time it is , whatever the destination . but – newsflash – after a bottle , you are just as pissed as you would have been after a bottle of anything else , which makes you feel weak and unjustly used , like you’ve been mugged by a child .

5 . prosecco hangovers have a particular quality , like having your eyeballs removed and replaced by pear drops . i do not like that .

6 . i saw a stag party walking past the pub last night , carrying a pick’n’mix of booze , including prosecco . it caught my eye because , usually , binge drinkers never touch it . this is because of the prosecco - blackout , which is like going to the pub and spiking yourself .
