ROME (ANS) -- A Christian teen gave a heartfelt plea. "I ask Catholics, the West, the international community to help all Christians in prison, victims of the blasphemy laws."
Rimsha Masi
According to a story by Dario Salvi of AsiaNews, that was the appeal of Rimsha Masih, a Christian teen suffering from mental problems who was arrested last August for blasphemy, and then cleared.
For weeks, her story occupied Pakistani newspapers and world media, motivating worldwide appeals for action.
Asia News said as a result of the work of the Federal Minister Paul Bhatti, supported by the Muslim community and the government in Islamabad, the story - for the first time - has resulted in a positive outcome.
A few days before the holidays, Asia News reported, Rimsha and family wanted to send "greetings to Pope Benedict XVI and all Christians of the world."
In a plea addressed to all Christians, the West and the international community, Asia News reported Rimsha said, "I ask you to support and assist all Christians ... who are in prison because of the blasphemy laws" ... "be close to them."
Asia News said during the telephone interview, Rimsha was playing with her brothers. She laughed several times, confirming an atmosphere of relative calm.
Rimsha said that after a difficult period she is now happy. "This Christmas I thank God for saving me and Jesus Christ for helping me."
Asia News said her words showed the simplicity of a young girl whose life was turned upside down by a terrible accusation, and who asked only for things to return to normal.
"For Christmas," Rimsha told Asia News, "I would like to get nice clothes and a pair of sneakers."
She added that wish is to "be able to return to school."
Asia News said Misrek Masih, father of Rimsha, thanked "Jesus for saving us," and "the minister Paul Bhatti and his entire organization (the All Pakistan Minorities Alliance-APMA) for supporting us."
Asia News said Misrek also thanked the Pakistani government for protection. However, he added that the family still does not feel safe and would like to move to another country, "because here we still feel threatened. We cannot leave quietly. Our life is always in danger; extremist groups might strike. We strongly desire to start a new life elsewhere."
Despite the difficulties, dangers and threats, Asia News said, Rimsha and her family are looking forward to the holidays.
They said, "We want to wish Merry Christmas to the Pope and all the Christians of the world, and we thank you very much for the support we received."
Asia News said Rimsha and her family are currently under the protection of the Pakistani government and Catholic activists of the APMA, an association founded by Shahbaz Bhatti - former Minister for Minorities, who was assassinated by Islamic extremists. APMA is now led by his brother Paul.

Harikrishna, Sethuraman Win in World Chess Cup
P Harikrishna crushed Max Illingworth while Grandmaster S P Sethuraman also scored an easy victory over Russian Sanan Sjugirov.
Highest rated Indian P Harikrishna crushed Max Illingworth of Australia to virtually book a second round berth in the World Chess Cup now underway here.
Grandmaster S P Sethuraman also scored an easy victory over Russian Sanan Sjugirov in the first game of the first round of this knock-out event among 128 players.
Harikrishna and Sethuraman just need a draw with white pieces in the return game to meet each other in the second round of one of the toughest event, based upon the survival-of-the-fittest theory.
It turned out to be a mixed day otherwise for the remaining Indians in the fray as B Adhiban could get a half point against Vladimir Fedoseev of Russia while Vidit Gujrathi achieved the same result against Bruzon Lazarov of Cuba.
M R Lalith Babu also secured half a point against much higher rated Radoslav Wojtazsek of Poland but Surya Shekhar Ganguly ended on the receiving end against talented Russian Vladislav Artemiev of Russia.
The USD 1.6 million event did not have any major hiccups for the higher ranked players in the opening round as most of them cruised through. However, Anish Giri of Holland and Boris Gelfand of Israel were amongst the few stars who were held to draws by lesser known opponents in the first game.
With one more game to go under standard time control in round one, none of the stars look in any danger of crossing the first round and the next round will see more lively pairings on almost all boards.
Amongst the Indians, Sethuraman and Harikrishna look a sure for round two for a clash between them while Vidit Gujrathi is now a strong contender for the round of 64 as well following a fine draw against his Cuban counterpart.
Harirkishna was at the top of his game against Illingworth and sacrificed a piece at the right time to find a lot of holes in his Australian opponent's position. As the game progressed to the endgame, Harikrishna had as many as four pawns for the piece and the Australian could never pose a serious problem in Indian's quest for a victory.
Sethuraman scored a quick victory against Sjugirov who did not know what hit early in the middle game. The Russian was at the wrong end of the complexities with white pieces as Sethuraman won a couple of pawns early to diffuse any chance for his opponent.
Lalith Babu won accolades thanks to some fine counter play after looking a little uneasy with white piece against Wojtaszek. Liquidating to his advantage, the Andhra-based forced parity to look in to his maiden world cup confidently.
Results (Indians) Round 1 Game 1: Bruzon Lazaro (Cuba) drew with Vidit Gujrathi (Ind); Vladislav Artemiev (Rus) beat Surya Shekhar Ganguly (Ind); Max Illingworth (Aus) lost to P Harikrishna (Ind); Sanan Sjugirov (Rus) lost to S P Sethuraman (Ind); M R Lalith Babu (Ind) drew with Radoslav Wojtaszek (Pol); B Adhiban (Ind) drew with Vladimir Fedoseev (Rus).

A master's thesis in large pieces is the same as a thesis. The main difference is usually that it is given over a full term ie. 30 points essay instead of a half semester 15-point essay that essays tend to be.
The thesis is not as focused on method as the essay. It is usually a longer essay, as it is written over a longer period of time and should be a little more advanced. A D-essay can be 40-50 pages. Grading criteria and opportunities for appeal are largely the same as for the thesis.
Master's theses are on their way out of the university education because of the Bologna process and the new Higher Education Ordinance that came into force 20070701.
Then you did about the homemaker-graduate degree master's degree to the master's degree.
Masters degree is also called thesis. There is no counterpart in other European countries, which made it difficult to translate. There was not enough scientific content to reach a research-preparing Master's thesis.
The master's thesis for a thinner existence. If you have a half-finished thesis left in the computer, you should check if it is possible to get a degree on it today. Many institutions today provide a master's degree that concludes with a master's thesis.
A Master's thesis, also known as essay, is a research-preparatory work where the student must show the forefront of a research topic and possibly further develop it and also his / her own knowledge. The emphasis is on the study that the student does and its possible contribution to the research field. A well-written and appreciated Master's thesis can be your ticket to a doctoral student education.
The master thesis is typically written by a student and is between 50 and 80 pages long, the Master thesis is written in one semester.
A Master's thesis should be closely linked to a previous research, but it may also be wise to link your Master's thesis to a research project, or to start your own research project.
It depends on your personality, your interests and which supervisors you would work with.
The essay coach can give you advice on how to best work to succeed with your plans to become a doctor and how you can move your career forward to… yes what you want.
The essay coach will be happy to help you with your Master's thesis. Regardless of which point you are in the work process, or which subject you choose to research and work with.
We offer you help and support so that you can design a Master's thesis that achieves the goals and criteria required for you to be approved.

I feel like death warmed over.
So why not soup? And after going to the doctor and getting my beloved "shot cocktail" which wires me up and makes me feel like a million bucks for about 12 hours, I got the house clean, laundry done, homework done, and then crashed for about 10 hours. Of course now, the shot has worn off, and the antibiotic is taking his sweet time getting a hold on this infection.
Oh, and if the doctor ever offers you a "magic mouthwash"….don't. Just don't. He said it was for my throat which was so bad, they tested for strep. He said it would give it a brief relief from the pain. Sure, I thought. Why not. Well, the bottle said "swish and swallow". I swished. I swallowed. I drooled..for 2 hours. The main ingredient is Lidocaine. A numbing agent. What's the deal, man!??? No kidding, my lips felt like two rubber rafts squished in my mouth. I couldn't feel a darn thing, much less when I was drooling on myself. Jeeze, I think I'll take the red painful throat. I couldn't drink much because I would get choked. After that dilemma, I went to take a nap and hoped I didn't drown myself.
When I was done with all that, I threw some soup together. I won't lie. The thought of using my purple is what motivated me to cook soup. If it wasn't for that, I would have just opened a can. Okay, maybe I would have cooked soup, but I wouldn't have the gleeful grin that I wore while doing this.
So pretty. I love love love this. 5 quart Le Creuset in Cassis(fancy smancy name for purple) only from Sur La Table.
Veggies Fresh parsley and sage from the garden!
sautéed' veggies before the broth A touch of lemon for my throat
For dinner, I threw together a potato casserole in the crockpot. It was the standard, southern, hash brown casserole.
I wasn't in the mood for any heavy food to go with the potatoes, so I baked some salmon with dill and lemon.
This, along with the spinach salad really perked me up. I felt much better, although I couldn't really taste anything. Thanks, mr. magic mouthwash dealer.
I'm taking tomorrow off from Boot Camp. I signed up for 4 days a week, so I'll still get my days in. I'm coughing bad now and it's still painful to move much.

My commitment to you as a no-bullshit writer is going to be that I will never write my whole life story before a recipe. Have you ever perused recipes online and you had to scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and SHIT I don't even feel like making monkey bread anymore. So – weeknight shrimp & grits. Here it is. Don't f*ck it up.
What You'll Need:
You can be as snobby or as laid-back as you want to be on your ingredients. All my stuff came from good ol' H-E-B, and you can bet your butt it was no-hassle.
- 2 Lbs shrimp (I used frozen Texas gulf shrimp, and I started to devein them, but…you know. I called my mom and she said it was fine, so I threw the rest in a bowl, tiny shrimp poops and all.)
- 1/2 stick of butter
- 2 Tbsp. freshly-squeezed lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire
- Spice Mix for Shrimp: 1 Tsp. Tony Chachere's Cajun seasoning + 1 Tsp. Old Bay seasoning + 1 Tsp. ground black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 5 Cups whole milk
- 1 Cup quick-cooking grits (not instant)
- 2 Cups shredded cheese (I used mild cheddar)
- 1 bar cream cheese, full fat (duh)
- Chives or parsley to garnish if you wanna be fancy
Throw It Together:
- After shelling, place shrimp in a single layer on a cookie sheet.
- Combine butter, lemon juice, worcestershire, spice mix, and garlic cloves in a small measuring cup, then pour over the shrimp. Toss to coat.
- Bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes, but don't be a scaredy-cat like I am and wait too long to take them out; otherwise, they'll be tough. I'd check them at 10 minutes.
- While the shrimp are baking, bring milk to a boil in a saucepan big enough for what will end up being a shit-ton of grits. Whisk in the grits to the milk, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes, or until you think it's thick enough.
- Dump in that glorious block of cream cheese, and the two cups of shredded cheese. This whole saucepan will end up getting thicker by the minute, so whisk whisk whisk until the shrimp are ready.
- Plate it, y'all: little scoop of grits, little scoop of shrimp, little bit of sauce drizzled over, then chives.
There you have it. Weeknight shrimp & grits. Pro Tip: You're going to want to put a whole bunch on your plate, but don't. This is richer than you think. A little goes a long way. Enjoy, friends! Let me know how it went or if you perfected this recipe with a secret!

We can learn a lot about the job search process from today's online dating websites and apps. Comedian Jerry Seinfeld once quipped, "Dating is pressure and tension. What is a date, really, but a job interview that lasts all night?"
These days, dating is even more synonymous with the job search process with websites like OkCupid, Bumble or Tinder. Like a resume, your online dating profile needs to significantly stand out from the rest of the competition to get you to the next step. Inevitably, tips to improve your dating profile are also applicable to your resume; both are documents that need to represent you well to attract the right people.
Here are lessons to take away from online dating that'll help your future employer swipe right:
Create visual
There are no photos of you on a resume, but its formatting and language matter as much as a Tinder profile's primary photo. Check grammar and punctuation meticulously. Not only that, research what a current, modern resume looks like. Did you know that Times New Roman is considered an outdated font? A beautifully written profile or a resume with all the qualifications is great, but it needs to be visually appealing too. And for a resume, that translates to a modern format.
Bring your best self forward.
Just like your dating profile wouldn't be about that week where you spent all your nights in re-watching OITNB, a resume should focus on the highlights, not the mundane. Accomplishments and a unique value proposition are needed to steal a hiring manager's heart. In your positions, avoid restricting the bullet points to descriptions on what your day-to-day activities are. A potential employer should see what your ROI could be by looking at your resume.
Know what you are looking for before going in.
Not targeting your job search is one of the top ten job search mistakes people make. The desire to be all encompassing will be strong—but that doesn't work, in online dating or in a job search. You will be better served with a target in mind. You should have an idea of the person you want to meet online, and the same should be true for a future employer. Crafting a resume with this in mind helps it to be better and already gives you an idea of which companies you should target. In the end, the person who tries to attract everyone— in both cases—will just seem bland and boring, devoid of anything unique.
Get out there and put your best foot forward! True love often starts with making a positive; the same can be said for your dream job.

What You Should Know about the Benefits of a Psychotherapy Career
A lot of focus has always been placed on physical health – becoming fit, becoming healthy and strong, and preventing the onset of physiological diseases and conditions. But sadly, there isn't too much attention paid to our mental and emotional states. The problem with having mental and emotional distress is that it can sometimes be difficult to see – sometimes, we only notice it when it's too late. This is where the expertise of a psychotherapist comes in; psychotherapists are able to diagnose and treat various emotional and mental conditions and disorders and can help transform an individual's life in many ways. Are you thinking about a career as a psychotherapist? Here's what you should know about the benefits of a psychotherapy career.
The satisfaction from the job
One of your responsibilities as a psychotherapist is to help other people assess their lives and their relationships with others; you can also be expected to give individuals the tools they need in order to effectively manage whatever aspect of their lives is causing them stress and anxiety, pain, anger, or sadness. With your professional expertise, you can help others become happier and more balanced as well as find inner peace. This is one of the major reasons why psychotherapists and counsellors have a high level of satisfaction with their jobs – they can see the results of their efforts in the people they have helped, and it is incredibly fulfilling and rewarding.
Many opportunities for employment
As a psychotherapist, you can find a use for your skills in various industries and institutions. Psychotherapists find opportunities in care centres, hospitals, schools, and clinics dedicated to mental health, and they have the chance to launch their own private practice. Although the road to becoming a psychotherapist can be challenging, you can start off with a course or two; you can earn your certificates gradually until such time that you receive a diploma. There are many courses, which can help you on your path, such as the courses offered at www.chrysaliscourses.ac.uk.
You also have options when it comes to specialties – you can choose to focus on areas such as marital counseling, depression counseling, bereavement and loss therapy, family therapy, and more.
A chance to get to know different kinds of individuals
If you consider yourself a highly sociable person who is genuinely interested in other people and have a high degree of empathy, then you can be perfect as a psychotherapist. Being a psychotherapist allows you to get to know different individuals, from children to adults to elderly individuals, couples, and families. Being in the profession exposes you to different types of people with different genders and nationalities, and this enhances your ability to empathise with other people as well. It also helps you to follow and show others how they can lead a balanced life and focus on their overall wellness.

Social spaces on wheels
For this final year project, I want to focus on the human interaction with mobile spaces, and its integration with smart technologies. It is an investigation into the human behaviour on board mobile spaces, and how we can utilise these spaces in different ways. Each of us has a preferred way to travel, and this has resulted in varying types of transportations. However, this is not efficient as it will bring about issues such as physical problems such as congestions and psychological problems such as stress.
Through this FYP, I hope to reinvent the way people think about cars. With the revolutionary autonomous driving technology, as well as deep learning technology, I hope to create a new environment, a new space for people to travel, one that is adaptive to the people's needs, allowing them to maximise the use of their time while travelling.

Wed Nov 28 2012: Bahia de Los Angeles
While we were in San Diego Mark put us in touch with his friend in Mexico to help us out while we were traveling in the Baja Peninsula. Dan lives in Bahia de Los Angeles (LA Bay), which is on the east coast of the Baja, and he invited us to crash for the night in his cabin by the beachfront on our way south. We've been e-mailing Dan for the last few days as well, and he told us that the Spanish school in La Paz was pretty good, so we're kind of of glad that we're out of Ensenada.
We left El Rosario pretty late in the day, so the sun was setting fairly fast as we rode Mex-1 southbound and then took a detour eastwards on Mex-12 towards the Gulf of California. The road winds up and over the Sierra de San Borja mountains, and we're barraged by the high winds that the area is known for. It's pitch dark (and only around 5PM) when we arrive at LA Bay, and Dan's place is nothing but a GPS latitude and longitude co-ordinate outside of the town, down an unmarked sandy road that runs parallel to the beach. We had a rule before entering Mexico that we wouldn't ride in the dark - didn't take long to break that rule. We may have to get up a bit earlier now that the sun sets so soon... :(
Dan and Nancy greeted us with lots of alcohol and fresh fish and we spent the evening getting very lubricated with them. Dan served us some yellowtail sashimi from a catch earlier on in the day, and we were in heaven! We don't eat sushi very much any more these days and it was such a treat. We got a great sense of what brings ex-pats down to LA Bay, living a cost-effective lifestyle and enjoying the simpler things in life - in Dan's case, it's sport fishing and there's no better place in the Baja for it than LA Bay!
Later that night, a well liquored-up Neda passes out in the cabin. Meanwhile, I am enthralled by the view and walk around the area taking lots of pictures. I don't sleep too much as I want to get a picture of the rising sun over the bay.
The reason why LA Bay is such a great place for fishing is that it's one of the few safe harbours in the Sea of Cortez that is protected from the high winds and waves by the number of large islands in the bay. Which also makes it a popular place to dock boats in the marina. Dan told us that not all is paradise, as there's a large drug problem in town and a result, rampant property theft from tweakers looking to support their crystal meth habit.
This is something that I've been wary about, as Mexico does have a very bad reputation in the North American media for the drug-related crime and violence. Neda and I have done a lot of research, trying to balance the Canadian and US state-issued travel advisories, the news articles and what other overland travelers have written about their journey through Mexico. We suspect that there's a truth that lies somewhere between sensationalism and Pollyannaism.
We've run into so many awesome people on our trip, and meeting Dan and Nancy really gave us some insight into life as ex-pats in Baja!

My fibre art evolves through my tactile love of textures, fibre, textiles, and incorporating artistic pursuits and other disciplines. I start with concepts and/or images and create my fibre art through contemplation, travel, playing with/juxtaposing images and discussion. These creations illustrate history, daily life, connections between nature and textures, traditional woven designs and fashion. I "play" with textures, patterns and techniques in my home studio using cashmere, silk, alpaca, cotton, wool and other fibers. I use my images in Photoshop, and Pointcarre to design and create Jacquard woven fibre art. I am intrigued with 3D fibre and sculptural pieces.

Hats off to Bella Abzug for Women's Equality Day — August 26th
Nichola Gutgold writes: Who took over management of Columbia Sportswear Company in the late 1930's, when it was near bankruptcy, and turned it into the largest American ski apparel company worth $4 billion in 1972? Who ran for US President on Equal Rights Party in 1884 and 1888 and was an American delegate to the first world peace Congress in Paris in 1889? Who is considered the first American woman to be ordained by full denominational authority in 1864, and who also campaigned vigorously for full woman suffrage? more »
Senior Women Interviews: Julie Harris - Too Good to be True?
Rose Madeline Mula interviews the late actress in March, 2001: What about the physical demands, I persisted. All of us find as we get older that we're not able to do many of things we did easily in the past. But not true for Harris's acting regime — not yet, at any rate. She still thrives on a busy touring schedule, going from city to city, and performing eight times a week. "You get used to that," she said with her characteristic good nature. If anything, she believes the hectic pace keeps her agile physically, and the effort to remember lines keeps her mind young. more »
Elaine Soloway's Caregiving Series: When the Caregiver Needs Care
When he moved in with me, just a few months after the chicken and squash dinner, I took Tommy by hand to my washer and drier. "No more laundromats," I said. I was happy to declare this. "Terrific," he said as he put his arm around my waist and kissed my cheek. So, why am I stressing? My husband can no longer speak, but he can certainly cook a frozen pizza and place an Amy's fake meatloaf dinner in the microwave. more »
Updated: Looking Ahead to 2014 Elections, Voting Laws Roundup 2013
Since the beginning of 2013, and as of August 6, 2013, restrictive voting bills have been introduced in more than half the states: At least 82 restrictive bills were introduced in 31 states. Of those, 7 restrictive bills are still pending in 4 states. Eight states have already passed nine restrictive bills this session. Just recently, North Carolina passed a law that mandates a Photo ID is required to vote, eliminates same-day registration, eliminates pre-registration for 16- and 17-year-old citizens, and reduces the early voting period. more »

"Transmeta"s processor technology provides the best combination of performance, energy efficiency and price for this market segment," said C.S. Lin, president of IBASE. "We find that Transmeta"s platform consistently runs cooler than competitive offerings, resulting in high reliability and a long product life span."
"This innovative product design from IBASE shows the benefits of Transmeta"s processor technology for embedded applications requiring high performance and energy efficiency," said Arthur L. Swift, senior vice president of marketing, Transmeta Corporation. "We view Transmeta"s ability to increase performance, while applying economical power management at competitive prices, as an important benefit to our customers."

Jesus, Our Messiah
Start by reading…Micah 5:1 - 7:20Revelation 7:1-17Psalm 135:1-21Proverbs 30:5-6
Micah prophesies that Jesus would be born a Jew in Bethlehem 700 years before His birth! Micah 5:1 says:
"But you, Bethlehem, least among the clans of Judah, from you will come out to Me One to be ruler in Israel, One whose goings forth are from of old, from days of eternity."
In Micah 5 we find hope in the face of forthcoming trouble. We are shown that there was never a time that Jesus did not exist, and that in God's perfect timing Jesus would physically be born into our world. Interestingly, Jesus called Himself "the bread of life" (see John 6:35) and Bethlehem means "house of bread!"
Micah speaks of destructive wars and trials the Jewish people will face because of their disobedience. Micah 5:3 (NIV) says:
"Therefore Israel will be abandoned until the time when she who is in labor bears a son…" They temporarily lost their homeland and were scattered across the nations of the world.
But Micah 5:7 says:
"Then the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples, like dew from the Lord, like showers on the grass…"
Although the Jewish people were scattered, they were a refreshing dew (a divine blessing) to those whose hearts were like a green pasture toward them, and this is still true today. Many Jews have embraced Jesus, realising He is their long-awaited Messiah. But many need to hear that Jesus, Yeshua, is their salvation.
Romans 1:16 says:
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek."
Pause and reflect: The prophet Micah's name means "who is like Yahweh". "Lord, let us be like Jesus, who is the way, the truth and the life. Amen."

Silesian Calvary
It was founded in 1764 by Anna Maria Thomagnini (1769 – 1769), mother of Wolfgang of Neffzern, the owner of Hradec Estate. Her waking dream, a vision of believers climbing up an illuminated hill, gave rise to the construction of the Stations of the Cross on the top of a 415 m high hill, to the east of Hradec Castle.
The climb from the foothill to the stone cross on the top of the Calvary leads along 13 chapels of the Stations of the Cross. An unknown person had the impressions of those standing near the cross inscribed on a marble slab which was set there in 1880: "Doubters, who meditate about God and his omnipotence, look around, think and be silent!"
In 1989 the existing metal paintings of Christ´s Calvary were replaced by stone reliefs and the roof covering was renewed. The latest reconstruction was made in 2004 – 2009. A specialized firm repaired and drained the walls and painted all chapels. In 2006, after gaining subsidies, the reliefs were restored and polychromed by Jakub Gajda, a sculptor and restorer. Beautifully restored reliefs meant such a surprise for the town authorities that it was decided to have copies of the reliefs made and get them installed into the repaired chapels.
The tradition of pilgrimages to Hradec Calvary is more than 200 years long. After World War II it was renewed as early as September 1945, but after 1950 the pilgrimages were prohibited and shortly renewed only in 1968 – 1970 period. The revolution in 1989 meant a new beginning for the pilgrimages, which are held in September on a Sunday near the St. Cross religious holiday.

It's an action-packed Fall in cinema this year. Literally so, as a great number of releases over the coming months are action films, from Jackie Chan avenging his daughter's death, to Gerard Butler battling clouds, to plastic Lego toys fighting evil, to the return of Blade Runner.
Beyond that, there's the usual glut of horror films launching both before and after Halloween, including psychological horrors that play with our perception of reality, to insidious thrillers that get under the audience's skin, to the return of the Saw franchise, which defined a generation of "torture porn" horror films.
If you're looking for something a little gentler, or less deathly, there's also the expected Oscar bait, from heroic everyday struggles (Jason Gyllenhaal as a Boston Marathon bombing survivor) to landmark equality wins (Emma Stone as tennis champ Billie Jean King) to civil rights leaders (Chadwick Boseman as Thurgood Marshall). Plenty to keep Academy voters occupied this fall.
As for everyone else? Marvel's Thor: Ragnarok and Disney's Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Also, should Joss Whedon somehow make it watchable, DC's Justice League. Oh, and a beautiful new Pixar entry, to boot. Basically, this fall has everything covered. Let's jump in.
Mother! — Jennifer Lawrence is the titular mother whose idyllic life with her author husband (Javier Bardem) spins wildly out of control when a man (Ed Harris) and his wife (Michelle Pfeiffer) show up at their door. Darron Aronofsky's film has split some audiences — it was both cheered and booed when it debuted at the Venice Film Festival amid a shroud of secrecy — but critics agree this horror-cum-thriller-cum-black-comedy is a masterful, if out there, piece of filmmaking. (9/15)
Brad's Status — While some have complained it's another example of white male whining, critics generally agree that Mike White's dramedy about a father (Ben Stiller) accompanying his son (Austin Abrams) on a tour of East Coast colleges and having a crisis of confidence after meeting highly successful former friends is bittersweet, humorous, and effective. (9/15)
Rebel in the Rye — "Superficial," "cliche," "basic." Just some of the words used to describe Danny Strong's biopic about J.D. Salinger's life leading up to the publication of The Catcher in the Rye. Maybe catch something else this weekend instead. (9/15)
Kingsman: The Golden Circle — A surprising hit, Kingsman proved not only that a violent, over the top action spy comedy could be a big box office success, but also that Colin Firth is totally believable as a badass secret agent. Taron Egerton returns as the titular Kingsman agent, while Julianne Moore, Halle Berry, Channing Tatum and even Elton John pop up in this sequel. (9/22)
Battle of the Sexes — In 1973, tennis world champion and feminist and lesbian icon Billie Jean King stunned the world when she bested chauvinist and ex- world champion Bobby Riggs in a tennis match. Emma Stone and Steve Carell are King and Riggs in a biopic that follows King's struggle to come to terms with her sexuality and the pressure she felt to prove that women's tennis stood on equal footing with the men's game. (9/22)
The Lego Ninjago Movie — If Lego has proven anything, it's that audiences will gladly pay to see their plasticized animated comedies — thanks in part to excellent scripts and breathtaking visuals. Now, the world's largest toy company is bringing their Ninjago action toys to the big screen. If it's anything like The Lego Batman Movie, expect great things. (9/22)
Friend Request — Perhaps one of the clumsiest metaphors ever put to film, this slasher horror has a popular college student watch most of her social group get killed after befriending an unknown "loser" on Facebook. We get it, don't add strangers on Facebook. Next. (9/22)
Victoria and Abdul — Dame Judi Dench steps back into the shoes of Queen Victoria 20 years after her Oscar-nominated turn in Mrs. Brown. Stephen Frears' biopic sees the British monarch befriend her Indian servant Abdul Karim (Aliz Fazal), and the slight scandal this caused in society at the time. If showy period dramedies are your thing, get your ticket now. (9/22)
Stronger — Critics agree that this true-life story of Jeff Bauman, a man who lost his legs during the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing and had to learn how to adjust to his new life, is powerful and uplifting. Based on Bauman's autobiography and with a powerful performance from Jake Gyllenhaal, dxpect this to do well come awards season. (9/22)
The Tiger Hunter — Danny Pudi is a fish out of water as an Indian engineer in the '70s who relocates to America and finds himself struggling to balance his cultural heritage with his new surroundings. Lena Khan's film looks to be a touching and effective dramedy, if a little by-the-book. (9/22)
Flatliners — A sequel to the 1990 film of the same name, Ellen Page, Diego Luna and three other medical students choose to stop their hearts for minutes at a time to see if they can experience the afterlife, but with disastrous consequences. Niels Arden Oplev takes over from Joel Schumacher as director, with Kiefer Sutherland reprising his role from the original cult horror. (9/29)
American Made — Tom Cruise abandons his good guy image to become Barry Seal, the former pilot who in the '80s became a drug smuggler for a Colombian cartel and then an informant for the U.S. government. Cruise's energetic performance will likely distract from director Doug Liman's (Bourne Identity) fast-and-loose handling of the source material. (9/29)
Super Dark Times — Director Kevin Phillips' debut feature is receiving a lot of praise. Two teenage boys in an Upstate New York suburb are driven apart by a traumatic accident, with their grief spiralling out of control as they try to process it. Critics are lauding this thriller as one of the best of the year. (9/29)
Lucky — Ninety-year-old Harry Dean Stanton gives a career-defining performance as a man who has outlived everyone he knows and ventures on a journey of self-exploration in his humdrum desert town. Expect an Oscar-nomination for Stanton. (9/29)
The Florida Project — It seems writer-director Sean Baker can do no wrong. Lauded for 2015's Tangerine, shot entirely on an iPhone, Baker returns with another critical smash with the story of six-year-old Moonee (Brooklynn Prince) and her friends as they navigate summer break. Meanwhile, the adults, including Willem Dafoe as the owner of the motel in which Moonee and her mother (Bria Vinaite) live, struggle with the realities of life. (10/6)
Blade Runner 2049 — It's taken 35 years, but we're finally getting a sequel to Ridley Scott's landmark sci-fi film. Arrival director Denis Villeneuve steps into the director's chair and Ryan Gosling leads as a blade runner in 2049 California, determined to track down Harrison Ford's Rick Deckard, who vanished 30 years prior. Expectations are high. Robin Wright, Jared Leto and Dave Bautista also star. (10/6)
The Snowman — You know what's not threatening? A snowman. They're fun balls of snow crafted by children, dotted with stones and designed to delight. Unless, of course, they're the calling card for an increasingly twisted serial killer who's toying with a detective (Michael Fassbender) determined to catch them. Such is the case in this film, based on Jo Nesbø's crime novel. Michael Keaton's Jack Frost this isn't. (10/13)
The Foreigner — Jackie Chan returns to both a leading role and his action roots, but don't expect a comedy. Instead, this is a thriller directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale) about a businessman whose daughter is killed in a terrorist attack in London. Determined to find her killers, he wages war on a former IRA member turned government official (Pierce Brosnan) who might hold the information he needs. It looks bleak, action-packed, and gritty. We're sold. (10/13)
Marshall — In 1967, Thurgood Marshall became America's first African-American Supreme Court Justice, crowning a lengthy career that saw him successfully argue dozens of times before the court, as well as fight for civil rights and desegregation. In this biopic, Chadwick Boseman (Marvel's current Black Panther) steps into the title role as a young Marshall takes on one of his first cases. Josh Gad, Keesha Sharp, Kate Hudson and Dan Stevens also star. (10/13)
Reel Affirmations — Washington, D.C.'s International LGBTQ Film Festival kicks off with two buzzed-about films on the festival circuit: Jennifer Reeder's Chicago-set Signature Move, a timely drama centering on the romance and familial struggles between a Pakistani and a Mexican-American woman, and Francis Lee's God's Own Country. Dubbed as a "Yorkshire Brokeback Mountain," it centers around a romance between a young farmer and a Romanian migrant worker. Other highlights include Jenee LaMarque's The Feels, a rom-com set at a lesbian bachelorette party; Trudie Styler's Freakshow, the James St. James tale, starring Bette Midler, and My Friend Dahmer, Marc Meyers' drama chronicling the serial killer's childhood. Visit thedccenter.org/reelaffirmations. (10/19-21)
Wonderstruck — Todd Haynes (Carol) directs an adaptation of Brian Selznick's best-selling novel about two children in two different time periods both venturing out on separate quests. Julianne Moore and Michelle Williams star in a film that critics say brings to life the wonders of childhood for grownup audiences. (10/20)
The Mountain Between Us — Possibly many viewers' worst nightmare, as two strangers (Idris Elba and Kate Winslet) survive a plane crash in a remote mountain range in Utah and must fight to survive. We don't know what's worse: the constant threat of death, or having to continue making polite small talk with a stranger for days longer than anticipated. (10/20)
Geostorm — An "environmental disaster sci-fi action" film that looks more like unintentional comedy, Gerard Butler stars in a film where humanity has developed satellites that can control the planet's climate. Unsurprisingly, the system fails, producing disastrous global storms. Cue the CGI, the action music, and the cheesy dialogue, as Butler races to shut the satellite down. Not that anyone will actually buy a ticket to learn if they're successful or not. (10/20)
Same Kind of Different as Me — The Guardian's Stuart Heritage described the trailer as "the worst, most offensive thing I have ever seen." Paramount made and then dropped this Renée Zellweger, Greg Kinnear and Djimon Hounsou-starring film, only for the dubious Pure Flix Entertainment — a Christian faith distributor with anti-LGBTQ connections — to release it instead. Spend your dollars elsewhere. (10/20)
Jigsaw — The Saw reboot/sequel no one asked for, but we're all going to get. If torture porn is your thing, then this is for you. But then again, so is therapy. (10/27)
All I See Is You — Blake Lively is a woman who regains her sight after being blinded in childhood, only to start to notice things about her husband (Jason Clarke) that previously evaded her. Marc Forster's film is a slow burn, as the husband tries to cover his numerous deceptions, though critics seem split on its overall effectiveness. (10/27)
Thor: Ragnarok — Conspicuously absent from 2016's Captain America: Civil War, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) returns in his third standalone film to find himself trapped in gladiatorial combat with Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), a battle he must somehow win without his trademark hammer in order to make it back home in time to stop an impending apocalypse, courtesy of Hela (Cate Blanchett), the goddess of death. Hemsworth may have lost his long hair (and he's all the more handsome for it), but he's gained Blanchett, Jeff Goldblum, and Karl Urban as co-stars in the process. Not a bad trade. (11/3)
A Bad Moms Christmas — Releasing just after Halloween and weeks before Thanksgiving, we have a Christmas-themed sequel to 2016's surprisingly entertaining Bad Moms. Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn return as the rule-breaking moms who refuse to be "perfect," only this time they're terrorized by their own mothers (Christine Baranski, Cheryl Hines and Susan Sarandon) visiting for the holidays. If it can smooth over some of the cracks of the first film, it could be good, if early, festive fun. (11/3)
The Killing of a Sacred Deer — A weird, psychological horror from Yorgos Lanthimos (The Lobster). Colin Farrell is Steven Murphy, a successful surgeon with a perfect wife (Nicole Kidman) and family. But his strange friendship with a teenage boy turns disastrous when the teen demands a sacrifice, or else terrible events will occur in the Murphy household. One reviewer called it "fucking brilliant," but others have been a little more reserved in their praise. (11/3)
Daddy's Home 2 — Daddy should have gone for cigarettes and never come back. The addition of John Lithgow and Mel Gibson will not make this sequel any better than the first. (11/10)
Wonder — Based on R.J. Palacio's 2012 bestseller, Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson star in a comedy-drama about a boy with facial differences attending a mainstream elementary school for the first time. The film was pushed back from release earlier this year — but not to make alterations or fix problems. According to reports, it was so well received during press screenings that Lionsgate hope it will be even more successful releasing in November. (11/17)
Justice League — DC Comics will try to prove that Wonder Woman wasn't a fluke and they can actually make good films. Joss Whedon made alterations to the screenplay and handled post-production and reshoots, after Zack Snyder (Batman v Superman) had to leave the film. That bodes well, as Whedon's handling of Marvel's Avengers franchise catapulted their cinematic universe into the stratosphere. Here's hoping he can do the League similar honors. (11/17)
Coco — Pixar's newest film looks astonishing. It follows 12-year-old Miguel as he travels into the Land of the Dead to unpick the truth behind a century-old family secret. Based heavily on Mexico's Día de los Muertos holiday, it will hopefully offer more of the charm, humor and emotion that characterizes Pixar's best offerings. Plus, the animation would seem to be among the best to ever come out of the studio. (11/24)
Murder on the Orient Express — Stylish, sumptuous visuals? Check. Starry cast, including Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Daisy Ridley, Penélope Cruz, and Judi Dench? Check. A suitably moustached Hercule Poirot (Kenneth Branagh, who also directs)? Check. We can't wait for this new take on Agatha Christie murder mystery classic, about thirteen strangers stranded on a train and a killer in their midst. (11/24)
Darkest Hour — Given the Academy's love for period British dramas, this could be a strong contender at next year's Oscars. Gary Oldman is unrecognizable as British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who steps into the office as World War II grips Europe in 1940. Expect numerous rousing scenes as Churchill rallies a nation to push back against Hitler and Germany's advancement. (11/24)
Call Me by Your Name — Oliver (Armie Hammer) is an academic who comes to stay at a family's villa in 1980s Italy. There, he strikes up a bond with 17-year-old Elio (Timothée Chalamet), one that changes both men's lives as their desire for one another takes over. Luca Guadagnino directs the coming-of-age tale, based on the book by André Aciman, and critics are falling head-over-heels for its intellectual eroticism. Could it be this year's Moonlight? (11/24)
Polaroid — The Ring meets Final Destination meets yet another pointless teen slasher flick, this time with a cursed Polaroid camera bringing a grisly end to anyone captured by it, and the race against time to try and stop death in its tracks. Maybe just use a smartphone camera instead? (12/1)
The Disaster Artist — Unashamedly niche in its subject matter, but definitely broad in its appeal, James Franco both directs and stars in this comedy-drama biopic about the making of Tommy Wiseau's 2003 cult film The Room, widely considered one of the worst films ever made. Franco is Wiseau, with his brother Dave Franco as line producer and co-star Greg Sestero. Seth Rogen, Alison Brie, Melanie Griffith and more are on the cast list, but expect even more cameos. Critics are absolutely loving it. (12/1)
Star Wars: The Last Jedi — No other film has more riding on its shoulders this year. Not only does The Last Jedi have to prove that the Star Wars franchise still has legs and that its plot can carry forward into a third film in 2019, it must also show that the success of this franchise isn't just based in nostalgia for the original films. In addition, it must serve as the late Carrie Fisher's final film — and deal with Leia's presumed death. And on top of all of that, it has to replicate the massive financial success of 2015's Force Awakens. Disney has bills to pay, after all. (12/15)
Ferdinand — It's inconceivable that any film would want to go up against Star Wars this weekend, but here we are. Based on Munro Leaf's children's book about a bull that would rather smell flowers than compete in bullfights, it looks like the usual generic animated family fare that Dreamworks/20th Century Fox/Warner/Sony Pictures churn out when they're looking for a quick buck. (Also see: The Cars franchise from Pixar.) (12/15)
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle — No thanks. We'll watch the 1995 original instead. (12/22)
Pitch Perfect 3 — Much as Pitch Perfect 2 wasn't as good as Pitch Perfect, expect this second sequel to have even less of the original's wit and charm. Still, it should make for good holiday fun, as Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, and Brittany Snow return for more a capella fun. (12/22)
Downsizing — The solution to humanity's overpopulation problem? Shrink people down to just five inches tall. That's the life husband and wife Matt Damon and Kristen Wiig choose in Oscar-winner Alexander Payne's comedy drama, opting to live in an idyllic miniaturized community. Obviously, not everything is perfect, and critics are somewhat split over whether the ensuing dilemmas and realizations are worth watching. (12/22)
The Greatest Showman — P.T. Barnum gave the world what would become the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, dubbed "The Greatest Show on Earth." This musical drama puts Hugh Jackman in the title role as Barnum, portraying him as a visionary showman who launched a revolutionary touring circus. Surrounded by Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, and oodles of razzle-dazzle and period style, it'll be easy to forget that those same circuses also ushered in a century of animal rights issues, forcing tigers, elephants and more to perform unnatural tricks across America. Perhaps just stay in and watch something on Netflix instead. (12/29)

Debt can make you feel mad, bad, and sad. It's a powerful four-letter word. It can ruin your financial life, break your beautiful relationships, pull down your credit score, and leave you broke. So you should always try to pay off what you owe.
The big question is, how can you get out of debt? What are the ways to eliminate debts as soon as possible and boost your savings? Let's find out in this article.
- Consolidate your debts quickly:
Source : sortmydebt.com.au
A debt consolidation program helps to lower the interest rates on your credit cards. That's the beauty of a debt consolidation program. Imagine you're paying 24% interest rate on credit cards. That's a lot of money. This debt relief program can help to lower the interest rate to 14%.
What does this mean? Well, the implication is loud and clear. You're saving 10% on the interest rate. It becomes easier for you to get out of debt because the monthly payments get simplified. You make low single monthly payments to get rid of debt.
One word of wisdom
Before enrolling in a program, ask how does debt consolidation work to the company offering this debt solution. You need to understand this program clearly before paying any fee to the debt consolidation company.
- Settle your credit card debts:
Source : moneymentors.in
This is exactly the opposite of debt consolidation. This debt solution helps to cut down your outstanding balance. The debt settlement company negotiates with your creditors to bring down your outstanding balance by more than 40%. Let's suppose, your overall balance on your credit cards is $50,000. The settlement company negotiates with your creditors to bring it down to $30,000 or $25,000. Obviously, it will be easier for you to pay $25,000 instead of $50,000. This helps you get out of debt quickly. You save a minimum $20,000, and that's a lot of money.
A word of wisdom
You have to pay tax if your net savings is more than $600. You can't avoid it both in debt consolidation and settlement. It's your income. So you have to pay tax on it.
- Sell everything you can:
Source : i2.wp.com
Do you have lots of items without any emotional value? Do you rarely use these items? Can you lead a comfortable life without them? If so, then you can sell all those items to churn out money. Use that money to pay off your high-interest debts.
- Do a part-time job:
Source : rprox.zoek.uk
The festive season will arrive soon. Local retailers need seasonal workers. Get a part-time job with flexible working hours. You can earn some extra dollars and pay off your debts.
- Snowball your debts:
Source : cdn.ramseysolutions.net
Pay minimum amount on your debts. But pay more on the credit card with the smallest balance. Do this every month till you pay it off. Once done, shift your focus to the credit card with the next smallest balance. Repeat the process till you get rid of it too.
- File bankruptcy:
Source : adllawaz.com
Chapter 7 bankruptcy can help you get out of debt and save a huge chunk of money within 4 months. A debt consolidation program or a settlement program doesn't give you this benefit. The court negotiates with your creditors and auctions your non-exempt assets to pay off your credit card bills. The entire procedure is completed within 4 months provided you follow all the rules.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy can help you eliminate debt in 5 years. Here you propose a payment plan to the court based on your affordability. If the court approves the plan, all you need to do is stick to the repayment plan for 5 years and pay back your creditors.
In both Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you pay less than what you owe. This helps to increase your savings.
The biggest problem with bankruptcy is that it has lots of complicated rules and a complex procedure. You have to pay attorney fees, trustee fees, bankruptcy filing fee, and many other things. Plus, you have to follow the bankruptcy laws diligently. One mistake can dismiss your bankruptcy petition. So file bankruptcy only when there is no other alternative.
Debts can destroy your mental peace. It can affect various aspects of your life. It can affect your career and prevent you from earning more. When you're in debt and go for an interview, you feel pressurized and nervous. You have to get the job anyhow because you have to pay off your credit cards and medical bills. That's awful because you tend to say wrong things out of sheer nervousness. You forget a lot of things and make stupid mistakes. A job is not only required to pay off your debts but also for building your nest-egg.
When you're out of debt, your self-confidence increases. You attract people and money. So try to get rid of debt as soon as possible.

When I listen to my own homilies I feel embarrassed, slow-witted. I think: "Just spit it out!" When in Rome recently, perusing the Catholic bookstores, the usual books of homilies were to be seen, excitedly proclaiming in their titles that this is finally the volume we've all been waiting for, the homilies that are "unedited," you know, because no one in their right mind just publishes their homilies without being edited first, not even Pope Francis. And who would record their homilies and put the audio online? That's just embarrassing. It is. But it is what it is. It's what I said, not well thought out, disconnected, un-understandable, missing premises, missing the conclusions to which I was leading. That's always the case.
But here's the deal, the angels take even such homilies as this and, because they are given in the context of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and sincerely presented as a help to eternal salvation (imagine that)… the angels take such words and help people to get something that will be of help anyway. I don't know how many times people have come up to me after Mass and thanked me for saying something, which they then "repeat", though I never said anything remotely like that, though I wish I had, because it was really good! Angels are so cool. So, having said that:

Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon and Emmy-winner Jennifer Aniston have both signed on to a new HBO project that will focus on television morning shows.
Aniston has not returned to the small screen since the hit sitcom "Friends" ended in 2004. Witherspoon previously starred in HBO's miniseries "Big Little Lies," which the network is eyeing for a second season. Witherspoon's performance in the series also earned her an Emmy nomination.
Witherspoon, a longtime friend of Aniston, was featured in two "Friends" episodes as Rachel Green's (Aniston) sister, Jill Green.
The new HBO project, which is currently untitled, is rumored to be about the two women researching television morning shows and New York City's media scene, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The show will also explore what occurs behind the scenes in television studios.
"House of Cards" producer Jay Carson has been assigned to write the script and screenwriter Steve Kloves of "Harry Potter" was named as the show's executive producer.
Aniston won an Emmy for her role on "Friends." Witherspoon won the Best Actress Oscar for "Walk the Line."

Alseca Reduces Trunk Plate's Weight Without Sacrificing Strength
"Stratasys equipment is a key technology for validating tools. It lets us put 100% validated parts in front of our customer."
-Dan Leuciuc, Alseca
Side view of a design configuration for the twin sheet structure.
After Alseca, a Bucharest-based automotive company, was founded in 2010, one of its major expenses was the development of manufacturing tools. Those tools helped give the Romanian Tier 1 arts supplier an edge over the large, well-established suppliers that dominate the auto industry. However, in a little over a year, Alseca had spent $250,000 on production-ready tools, a significant cost investment in tooling for product development.
Early design development was labor intensive and included wooden forming tools, and separate tools for testing plastics and plastic bonding processes. That added a fair amount of time, especially when the first versions weren't perfect and new tools had to be created to test additional iterations.
Founders Claudiu Diaconescu and Dan Leuciuc decided that they needed to trim development time and cut costs in order to expand sales to automotive OEMs that now include GM, Dacia and Renault. Last year, Alseca joined the additive manufacturing movement, buying a 3D printer to create manufacturing tooling.
"The 3D printer from Stratasys lets us shrink the time to create tooling from three or four weeks to three or four days," Leuciuc said. "We don't have to order aluminum or steel and mill it."
Additive manufacturing lets the development team try more design options, shorten development times and show customers a part that's production ready.
"When you're proposing something that's innovative, you need to provide the comfort of proving that the tooling can be validated. There's no better way to do that than to have a 100% representative part that's been manufactured using tooling that can be used in production," Leuciuc said.
Cutting kilos
When Dacia, a Romanian automaker owned by Renault, asked Alseca to develop a trunk plate, their goal was to improve gas mileage by reducing weight. These 3D printed trunk plate prototypes proved that Alseca could provide a plastic cover that was over 70% lighter than its predecessor.
Alseca used its 3D printer to quickly create tooling for its vacuum forming process. That allowed them to test different design configurations for a twin sheet structure. The two-sheet design provided extra strength while bringing a significant weight reduction over the cover's wooden predecessor. Stratasys 3D printing was ideally suited for this application because of the material strength needed for this manufacturing process, as well as the ability to test tool designs including hole placements, shapes and sizes.
3D printed production-ready tools made it simple for developers to compare multiple versions of the trunk plate and decreased the weight from 7.0 kg (15.0 lbs.) to 2.0 kg (5.0 lbs.), a reduction of over 70%.
"We needed to do virtual tests to see if a rectangular pattern or circular pattern provided the best combination of strength and light weight. We validated the design with five prototypes that were built using production-ready tooling made on our 3D printer," Leuciuc said.
A winning combination
Though Alseca has only used additive processes for about a year, the technology is already transforming the company. When iterations can be made in days instead of weeks, engineers have more design freedom and can create tooling that would be difficult to make with conventional manufacturing processes. "3D printing is starting to change the way we design and engineer our parts," Leuciuc said.
"Stratasys equipment is a key technology for validating the tools. It lets us put 100% validated parts in front of our customer," Leuciuc said.

Congress is urging Google to take long-overdue action to stamp out 'dangerous climate misinformation' on YouTube.
House climate committee Chair Kathy Castor wrote a letter [READ IT HERE] to Sundar Pichai demanding that Google take action against climate change denialist psyops, which YouTube is filled with -- along with lots of other weaponized disinformation.
The letter asks that Google respond by February 7.
"YouTube has been driving millions of viewers to climate misinformation videos every day, a shocking revelation that runs contrary to Google's important missions of fighting misinformation and promoting climate action," wrote Kathy Castor, chair of the climate committee.
"Last September, you proudly declared that 'sustainability has become one of Google's core values from our earliest days,' and announced 'the biggest corporate purchase of renewable energy in history.'"
Excerpt from reporting by Jennifer Elias at CNBC:
Google did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The letter comes as YouTube, which is one of Google's largest businesses, faces scrutiny over the spread of hateful content and misinformation on its platform. In recent months, Google has updated policies to try and stem that -- especially as the 2020 presidential elections near. The company delayed its reaction to curbing misinformation among political ads following backlash late last year.
Castor noted various media reports and accused the company of incentivizing climate misinformation content while "giving free advertising" to those who promote harmful pollutants. The letter asked the company to stop monetizing videos that promote falsehoods and "take steps to correct the record" for those who've been exposed to climate misinformation.

Books The Queen Esther Code
The Queen Esther Code
God's Concealed Masterpeice
Christian RobertBiblical Studies,
Book Summary: Queen Esther is one of our most esteemed characters in the Bible. We praise God for choosing and leading a young orphaned woman to deliver an entire nation of people from certain destruction. But there is something very beautiful concealed in this story, and it testifies to the Lord's amazing ways to drive people and events according to His purpose.
Esther's eyes give a glimpse of this hidden and beautiful message. As though written in code, the Almighty One actually used Esther, Mordecai, and others as real life actors to summarize the entire Bible from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelation, to illustrate the future role of the Messiah and to describe His perfect will for born-again Christians in great detail.
Peel off the layers of God's concealed story chapter by chapter and discover this masterfully orchestrated chain of events, all to the glory of God Almighty.
"Who among the gods is like you, LORD? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?" (Exodus 15:11 NIV)
