What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here soon time a Halloween ends in this video here again today So a couple videos ago I did something where I talked about us getting a flashback that jumped to showing young Michael Myers again Because he seemed it seemed like young Michael Myers was very prominent or had some a lot of significance in Kills, and I'm just thinking maybe there's gonna be brought back up again in ends in some capacity What if we got something where we see the events of what happened when the Myers went into their house in 1963 found you this body I know it's out there novelizations or something like that But having it depicted on screen and maybe doing a bit of tweaking to it I've done a whole video talking about that now. I want to talk about as you see in the thumbnail Michael Myers parents and if indeed He might be after them because in this timeline We don't know what happened to these people in the novelization for Halloween kills I believe it's mentioned by Frank that they just left town and no one knows what happened to them So on screen in ends We could actually start to learn some things about the Myers parents that then relate to us Giving giving us a path to get to a flashback like seeing what else happened after they found Judas body seeing that depicted on screen maybe they actually appear in Halloween ends and it seems that going off of the Emphasis of the Myers house in the original or not the original but in kills that there might be something going on where Michael Was actually hunting his parents. He's not necessarily trying to Kill Everyone else as a target as much as they're just in his way as he's trying to hunt down and murder his parents out of some Type of vendetta against them for putting him in Smith's Grove Maybe at one point one of them visited him in Smith's Grove kept tabs on him with dr. Loomis But then ultimately all of that stopped the connection and the communication stopped and he's held in this anger towards them ever since That connection was cut off, but now of course knowing what he knows and knowing where his home is Had a chance to break out and go take out his parents go kill them Go have words with them of course and not literal words because he doesn't talk but you know go handle his business with his parents and Maybe this is something that will be touched on in Halloween ends Where we find out where the Myers parents are where where we learned what they've been up to Could they be connected to this Baxter family? Is there something going on there? and learning just How they have been Impacted by everything that's been going on because they are apparently I would imagine being they I guess they would have changed their name To I would imagine they would have been ran out of ran out of Haddonfield potentially after being harassed And you know that house itself has become very Infamous so of course the parents inside of it must have been harassed at some capacity Forced to leave town as they became blacklisted I would say in Haddonfield by Haddonfield residents they've moved on made a new name for themselves and You know they have to be aware of what's going on It's just that they're trying to keep as low profile as they can because of all the backlash that they got from the 1963 events so Could they eventually just say you know what we need to go back to Haddonfield and we need to address our son We need to deal with and we need to help these people So for whatever reason they feel like it's their duty to go back to Haddonfield and address Michael Michael is there at the end of the movie dealing with Laurie strode and Allison and then he sees his parents And there's a confrontation that goes on between Michael Myers and his parents This distraction could then lead to Michael being killed by Laurie strode or Allison or a combination of the two Or maybe just maybe because of the fact that they have talked about Jamie Lee Curtis Has talked about how the ending might not be to everyone's liking some people might be upset about it and I've also talked about how Nick Castle pointed out that no one's ready for what they have or that it's not something You're expecting so what if it is indeed not Laurie or Allison but Michael Myers parents that end up killing him or a mixture of Where everybody involved with that with that trio of characters somehow ends up dying together and You know, you have it could be something done in the Myers house where the entire house goes up in flames But still something happens where you are Alluding to the fact that Michael Myers survived. He did not die. His parents, of course would be dead But maybe just maybe if they don't do that you have Michael Myers killed on screen by his parents now How this will ultimately come come down I don't know because again, I would imagine they would have some type of altercation in the movie these two would have to be in They'd have to be older than Laurie too. So I don't even think they'd be Worthy contenders to even go up against this this man even though That's their son again. They would have to be very very elderly, especially if Michael is in his 60s So if his parents are still around If if they're still around because now I'm thinking that maybe they won't even appear because yes How old would they be? Yeah, they maybe they shouldn't be the ones killing him. Yeah, I'm gonna take that back They shouldn't be the ones killing him. I would rather you have a distraction where He sees his parents Recognizes them and then Laurie or Allison gets the job done and that's it or just something happens where again You seemingly see him die and it's courtesy of a distraction by his parents He's in shock to see them. That is his that is his undoing because all this anger is rushing to the surface We can see him gripping his knife, but then Somebody Laurie Allison from behind Takes him off catches him off guard does something to him incapacitates him You are led to believe he is dead But then of course by the time the movie is over you get something alluding to that he can could have he indeed could have survived You don't get told he survived you it's not being made obvious But you at least get to live up to your title of Halloween ends while still teasing your audience that there's a chance that Michael survived And again, this should be done by like a voice over Dave Dave McCrae I've said this a thousand times I'm gonna complete agree me with something like this happening a voice over where dr. Loomis comes over from the grave or from the Beyond saying that you think you fooled them Mike or that you fooled the Michael But not me and then the movie custom black the idea of exploring Michael Myers parents And then also coming to the conclusion on screen that he indeed is after these two and that's who he's been Searching for this whole time would be something I think that is full circle in respect to how they're saying this is not Laurie Strode's Story in respect to what Michael is after that was accomplished in halloween kills and then when they made that clear It's not about him hunting down Laurie So who is he hunting down because it does seem like he is going after someone now Maybe just maybe that will raise more questions about why he is targeting his parents but again that could be explored by Addressing certain things related to some one of them used to being being visitors as as as a pretension being in Smith's world But then that stop which led to a lot of hatred being built up over the course of these years He broke out went to go find them They weren't there and he could have been spending the last four years in between the events of kills and ends looking for them And then hopefully we get to see that fleshed out on screen more in ends when his parents arrive if they arrive But let me know as you guys think about that down in the comment section below if you haven't already of course Make sure you subscribe turn on post occasion there miss a video in the description I've linked some social media accounts on Facebook Twitter and Instagram You can message me there of course eliminates any movies news or reviews Let me to cover in the future with all that in my guys. I will see you in the next video


So just make sure they're extra strong when you buy them. Community video originated largely in the 1970s when artivists, activists and community groups, largely misrepresented groups started to take up this new technology to represent their own experiences and they were sort of participants in front of and behind the camera and that's what was very specific about this approach to filmmaking. Interest in AIDS Actors video kind of was drawing this line between the early work I was looking at of community video in the early 1970s and through to the 1980s where misrepresented or underrepresented groups were able to use newly available video technology to kind of make their own videos to occupy the position of filmmaking but also a subject and I think with the AIDS Actors video research I've been doing through the Paul Mellon scholarship I've been able to sort of draw a line between the way in which those videos were made but also the way in which they were treated once they were finished. Representation of the experience of people with AIDS on television was really kind of marshaled by television. Not necessarily people impacted or living that experience and so there's a real discrepancy about what was being seen and then what was being made perhaps as well. I was invited to give a talk at Tate Liverpool part of the Keith Herring conference and they asked if I could talk about the in relationship to AIDS Actors video and that was when I made this kind of naive assumption that there must be an AIDS Actors video archive in the UK because there's this big one in New York but when it came to look for that work I couldn't find it. Since commencing this research I've now located 18 AIDS Actors videos in the UK made between 1983 and 1993 and I hope to make as many of these as available as possible through the London Community Video Archive. For me whenever I think about archiving this work or digitising it I'm always thinking about how it can then be shown. I think with the history of community video screening was always built into the production process you never really press record without thinking if it's going to be for who the audience is and I think similarly with the London Community Video Archive for us we're always thinking about how do we build the audience for this and what is the audience for this and since doing this start in this research it's been interesting how many people have been interested in seeing this work partly because it's a large part of queer history that isn't really that recognised and that represented and partly because the these approaches to filmmaking still feel really relevant and a lot of these videos still look like they could have been made yesterday, the way that the camera moves in a direct action protest, the way that someone who's experiencing the same thing as the person in front of the camera can then can ask the right questions or inhabit that experience and be sensitive to it. These things all still feel really relevant when you're making these kind of works. For me it's really important that anything engaged in histories of activism needs to continue to be engaged in the present moments of activism. I don't want this just to be archival work, you know, looked back on. I want it to feel relevant and useful. I always think of this idea of urgency and intimacy. There was an urgency to it that was about the moment, about representing this moment so there wasn't a lot of thought necessarily in this idea of the longevity of it. It was about responding to a moment and I think you see that in the work and the urgency kind of is I guess represented in the way the videos look and the feel of it which is often a bit rough around the edges, a bit looser in the editing. There's a pace to it that feels like there was a necessity to it in that moment because it was about saving lives.


Hey, this is Ryan for So Is It Any Good, back with another classic characters. This week, we venture into a galaxy far, far away and take a look at the greatest villain ever put to Silver Screen, Darth Vader. Thanks so much for watching this episode of Classic Characters. Before we get into it, if you love movies and want to know a little bit more on how they were made, make sure you hit that subscribe button and tap the bell notification so you don't miss anything from us at So Is It Any Good. The cruel and treacherous Imperial leader, Darth Vader, has been labelled as the greatest villain in all of cinematic history, but how was he created? Who thought him up? Well, the creation of Darth Vader started all the way back in 1973, four years before the release of Star Wars. George Lucas had been writing an outline called The Journal of the Wheels, which was later expanded into a 14-page story treatment labelled the Star Wars. The story treatment introduced three separate characters who would later all become Darth Vader, as we know him today. The closest likeness to Vader was the Dark Lord Prince Valoran. He was written as a legendary fighter and part of the Knights of the Sith. He was feared amongst the galaxy and dressed in black robes of the Sith, similar to the Emperor. Next was General Vader. While his name is there, this particular character was far from the Vader we got. His officer, the Imperial Army, wasn't more respected and didn't possess any Sith-like qualities. He was more likeness to Grand Moff Tarkin. Lastly was Cain Starkiller, a battle-torn warrior, half-man, half-robot. He was a Jedi Knight, a character of light. He not only had the robotic form of Vader, but he was also father to Anakin Starkiller and Dick Starkiller. The latter would become Luke Skywalker. By 1975 and in the second draft of the script, Darth Vader was far more fleshed out. George Lucas has described him as a seven-foot Sith Knight with flowing black robes. And at this point, Vader was completely human. However, he was a master of the dark side and hated amongst the galaxy for his tyranny. Around here, George Lucas started on pre-production of the Star Wars and hired Ralph McQuarrie to paint five scenes from the draft to get funding for the film from 20th Century Fox. The script had Vader flying through space in a dark space suit to board a ship and do battle with the main hero of the film. McQuarrie drew this battle with Vader still in the suit. McQuarrie was said to be inspired by Samurai from ancient Japan, but with a highly modernised feel and look. The suit was only intended for this one scene, but George Lucas loved the concept so much that it became the iconic look for the character. With funding now secured for the film and Darth Vader's characteristics and look locked in place, the search was on for someone to fill the suit. Enter David Prowse. Prowse briefly appeared in the cult classic A Clockwork Orange when Lucas spotted the Bridgeborn actor. He was given a chance to play either Chewbacca or Vader. Believing that the villain would be more memorable, Prowse chose Darth Vader. While shooting Star Wars, David Prowse not only acted the scene, but he also spoke all the lines in the film. He wasn't aware until the film premiered that Lucas had dubbed over his voice with veteran actor James Earl Jones. But I'm sure you can tell why from these rough cuts. Now it's unclear how early George Lucas had plans to include Vader in the Skywalker family, but early drafts of Star Wars depicted Darth Vader meeting his demise in the infamous trench run at the end of the film. Thankfully, this wasn't the case and was later changed in the final draft of the film. After the release of Star Wars, Darth Vader became one of the most iconic characters in movie history. And to this day, people still love the character everywhere, even though he's a villain.

Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we are going to discuss the following question. And the question says that, use rational exponents to write this expression as single radical expression. And the expression given is, cube root of x into fourth root of 2x. Now let us start with the solution of the given question. In this question we are given an expression that is cube root of x into fourth root of 2x. Now using radical exponents we have to express it as single radical expression. We know that if a is any real number and n is a positive integer, that is n is greater than 1, then a raised to power 1 by n is equal to nth root of a. So here cube root of x can be written as x raised to power 1 by 3 and fourth root of 2x can be written as 2x whole raised to power 1 by 4. Now using power product law that is xy whole raised to power m is equal to x raised to power m into y raised to power m. Thus we have 2x whole raised to power 1 by 4 is equal to 2 raised to power 1 by 4 into x raised to power 1 by 4. So we can write cube root of x into fourth root of 2x is equal to x raised to power 1 by 3 into 2 raised to power 1 by 4 into x raised to power 1 by 4. Now this can be written as 2 raised to power 1 by 4 into x raised to power 1 by 3 into x raised to power 1 by 4. Now using product law of exponents we have x raised to power m into x raised to power n is equal to x raised to power m plus n. So here we get 2 raised to power 1 by 4 into x raised to power 1 by 3 plus 1 by 4 and this is equal to 2 raised to power 1 by 4 into x raised to power. Now taking LCM and solving here we get the power as 7 by 12. So here we get 2 raised to power 1 by 4 into x raised to power 7 by 12 and we can rewrite this as 2 raised to power 3 into 1 by 12 into x raised to power 7 into 1 by 12. Now again using power product law this can be written as 2 cube into x raised to power 7 whole raised to power 1 by 12. So cube root of x into 4th root of 2x is equal to 2 cube into x raised to power 7 whole raised to power 1 by 12 and this is equal to 12th root of 2 cube into x raised to power 7 Using this property that is a raised to power 1 by n is equal to nth root of a on solving further we get 12th root of now 2 cube is 8 into x raised to power 7. So we have 8 into x raised to power 7 that is 8x raised to power 7 that is 12th root of 8x raised to power 7 so we have written the given expression as single radical expression that is 12th root of 8 into x raised to power 7 which is the required answer. This completes our session hope you enjoyed this session.


What's up everyone? Take down here. Welcome back to another video. Today I'm going to be reacting to some of Zack Ryder's greatest moments in the WWE. Let's get right into this. So even though Zack Ryder is no longer with the company because in early 2020 he was part of a large release. A bunch of wrestlers got released from their contracts. Nonetheless, he has had a very interesting career and I do love the guy. I think he's great in the ring and no matter where he goes and what he does next he's still going to be Zack Ryder and he's still going to be improving and being the greatest he can be. So I have this video of all of his greatest moments within the WWE that we're going to be checking out. Let's just get started here. I made a new championship for him. 2008. Is this the tag titles? I think it is, yeah. This might have been back when, yeah, it looks like it. When he was part of the edge heads with Kurt Hawkins himself and of course edged the lead of the group. It was a pretty good moment. The fact that they won that, that was pretty cool. I don't remember this. Of course it was just on Raw in 2011. So for me to remember that moment, a pay-per-view moment I could see. But all right, Johnson has always been a standout guy. So helping Zack Ryder pin Mark Henry, who is at the time a world champion. That's pretty cool. I like that. He's shocked himself. He doesn't realize that he won the match. That's pretty cool. I think he deserved a bigger push than what he received in the WWE. At least he did have his WrestleMania moment though. Oh, the United States championship. TLC 2011. All right. I remember seeing interviews with Zack Ryder and Balda Ziggler where they said they loved working with each other back then. Some of their greatest matches were against each other for this time period. So to me, that's awesome to see. Especially to have him win when he was grinding away and just trying to stand out in a company that is kind of hard to stand out, especially nowadays. So happy that that's awesome. Yeah, this is the moment I was just talking about. His WrestleMania moments. The ladder match, the Intercontinental Championship. I love this moment. I think I watched it live. A lot of people didn't expect Zack Ryder to win. Now he didn't hold on to the title too long, but to have a WrestleMania moment like this, and a huge match, a ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship, to me that's pretty special. I remember this. Hawkins was on his downfall, in my opinion, but he was doing it as part of his gimmick. It wasn't that he was losing and always losing. He wanted to continue losing once he hit 100s. I think it was over 200 that he lost. Reuniting Zack Ryder with Hawkins was freaking awesome. They were one of my favorite tag teams for quite a while once they reunited. I just wanted them to win, wanted them to succeed, wanted Hawkins not to be losing all the time. Wanted to get him to get his first win in a really long time. Once they teamed up, you could finally see the light with him that it was going to happen. That was pretty awesome. That was just January 2019. That's pretty cool. That's crazy. Just to think a year after that, a year and some months after that, they got released from their contracts, both of them. But at least they had another WrestleMania moments, both of them this time. Zack Ryder already had his Intercontinental WrestleMania moments. Now Hawkins gets a WrestleMania win for the Raw tag team titles. So this was a great moment. I'm glad that they had them do it. I think that was awesome, something the fans wanted to see at Mania. And they got to see it. It was pretty epic. One of my favorite moments from that WrestleMania, just because the hype behind them, they were the underdogs. Nobody thought they were going to win. It's been a long time for Zack Ryder to win matches, let alone finally get a chance for a tag team championship or any championship and win. That in my opinion was awesome. It just sucks that they both got released from the contracts. Hopefully Zack Ryder, he can find something else and also Kurt Hawkins. That would be very interesting, especially if they go to a different promotion and be a tag team again. That's pretty cool. So this was me reacting to some of Zack Ryder's greatest moments in the WWE. I really miss him. I really wish that they found some way to keep him in the WWE. Even if that meant sending him to NXT, I think he could have been a standout star, at least by himself in NXT. I think that would have been cool. Going against maybe Palvatine Dream for the North American Championship. I thought that would be a very interesting rivalry or having Zack Ryder and Kurt Hawkins in NXT as a tag team. I've always wanted that to happen. That I think would have been an awesome alternative instead of releasing them, seeing what they can do, along with everybody that got released, seeing what they could do in NXT. And if they don't work out in NXT, then release them. But I miss them. I can't wait to see what he does next. Comment down below what you thought of Zack Ryder. I'm going to leave this video here. Please take care. Peace.


Today, Monday, March 1st, 2021, Saint Lucia received a donation of 25,000 doses of the Oxford AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine from the Republic of India as a gesture of friendship and solidarity. This support is a very tangible expression of the commitment by the Republic of India to support the government and people of Saint Lucia in reducing the spread of COVID-19. This donation of vaccines will significantly strengthen our national COVID-19 vaccination campaign. The administering of vaccines in Saint Lucia began on Wednesday, February 17, 2021, and for the past two weeks, it has been focused on vaccinating those who are at the highest risk of being exposed to the virus, that is, healthcare workers in clinical settings, first responders, security service personnel, and other frontline workers. All of these personnel are within phase 1A of our vaccination campaign, and as such were given first priority for receiving the vaccine. The Ministry of Health, and by extension the Government of Saint Lucia, is deeply grateful to the Republic of India for this generous donation. We know this will benefit the management of COVID-19 in our country, as the vaccine will not only help in reducing transmission of the virus, but it will also reduce severe COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and death. All of these are the public health improvements which become possible through vaccination. The AstraZeneca vaccine will help in protecting our citizens, reducing pressures of treatment and care on our healthcare system and limit the impact of COVID-19 on our country as a whole. And for this, we are forever thankful to the Republic of India for this partnership. This week, the National COVID-19 Vaccination Campaign will continue with our frontline workers, and phase 1B will also commence. In phase 1B, people who are 65 years and older, residents of elderly homes, and people living with chronic health conditions will be vaccinated. As such, phases 1A and 1B will be taking place at the same time. In the coming weeks, vaccination will be extended to the thousands of Saint Lucians who have registered for the COVID-19 vaccine. Announcements of these shall be made by the Ministry of Health of the schedule of these other phases in preparation of their commencement. Vaccination sites have been identified across the island and will be announced weekly. The schedule for this week for phase 1B is as follows. Tuesday, March 2, 2021, Reach for Human Resource Centre and Tiro-Shemiko Wellness Centre. Wednesday, March 3, 2021, Bexon Wellness Centre. Thursday, March 4, 2021, Deriso Parish Hall. Friday, March 5, 2021, Marigosecondary School, Dennery Seventh Day Adventist Church, Mekod Multi-Purpose Centre, Library Wellness Centre, and the Shozell Fisheries Complex. And on Saturday, March 6, 2021, Philip Masley-Ground's Viewfort. This phase is expected to last about eight weeks and the campaign will then smoothly transition into its third phase, vaccinating the rest of the population. People who have decided to receive the COVID-19 vaccine are encouraged to register via the online platform at www.hmi.govt.lc or call your nearest community wellness centre. The Ministry of Health will continue to provide updates on the COVID-19 vaccine.


This study proposes for alternative scenarios for managing the second wave of COVID-19. The authors simulated these scenarios using an agent-based model, which showed that a continued lockdown could eradicate the virus within three months, while a relaxation back to 80% of former activity levels would lead to a second outbreak. Additionally, contact tracing and adaptive response strategies were found to be effective in keeping the virus under control. This article was authored by Gudrun Wallenton, Dana Kazeeva, and Eva Ribers-Dorfer Adelsberger.


Incredible books are published every year, but certain books have held a particular appeal for men over the centuries. Many of the best books for men explicitly deal with themes of masculinity or fatherhood. Many of the books we tag fiction are not actually out of reality. These are birthed from truths and life stories. In this video, I will share with you 9 books every man should read. 1. The Apprenticeship of Dottie Kravitz by Mordecai Richler Dottie is the ultimate Jewish hustler, always working, always skimming, always looking for a deal and looked down upon by everyone for his limitless ambition. Family, friends, lovers and teachers all contribute to Dottie's burgeoning, obsession with power and money, desires embodied in possession of the land. Dottie comes to believe land ownership to be life's ultimate goal and how a man is made into somebody. Dottie never stops in his pursuit to acquire real estate to be somebody. Throughout his quest, he never forgets his grandfather's maxim that a man without land is nobody. From this book, every young man can learn that no matter how much you strive and hustle, if you cannot prioritize and if he does not have principles, he loses everything in the end. 2. What Makes Sammy Run by Bard Skolberg This novel explores the changes and personalities of Hollywood in the 1930s. The author reveals this topic through the story of a young Jewish boy named Sammy Glick and a news writer named Al Mannheim. The book chronicles the rise and fall of Sammy Glick, the rags to riches boy from New York who makes his way through deception and betrayal. Essentially, Sammy is your arry gold without the slightest bit of human distancing. Sammy is confident, aggressive, ambitious, opportunistic and attuned to the moment. He is running from self-reflection from meaning. Sammy is an accomplished man but not a great man. This book teaches that greatness is not the same as an accomplishment. While anyone can be accomplished through dubious means, greatness is only achieved via ethics, purpose and principles. 3. Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson For this biography, the author did more than 40 interviews with Jobs himself and then interviewed his family, friends and business associates. Isaacson recounts Jobs' life and achievements and a lot of dirty secrets that shed a better light on who Steve Jobs was. At Steve Jobs' core was his incredible intensity and everything he did in life was a product of that intensity. The fierceness of Steve Jobs' personality lights up the book and his remarkable achievements will make every young man think you should get up early tomorrow morning. In the words of Steve Jobs, I think most creative people want to express appreciation for being able to take advantage of the work that has been done by others before us. We try to use the talents we do have to express our deep feelings, show our appreciation of all the contributions that came before us and add something to that flow. That's what has driven me. 4. The Boy's Life by Tobias Wolff 1955, Toby Wolff and his mother are on their way to Utah to make their fortune by mining uranium. While in Utah, Toby changes his name to Jack to remove himself from his father, who abandoned Jack and his mother shortly after Jack was born. Jack's father is now living in Connecticut with Jack's brother, Joffrey, a student at Princeton and is married to a millionaire. Toby is an A-grade student, a boy deeply concerned about the world's esteem, loyal support to his mother destined for Princeton like his brother, Joffrey. Jack, on the other hand, is a liar, a thief and violent. Both boys are versions of the same boy, a dreamer continually searching for his identity but never belonging to the world he craves. His alter ego is the splendid phantom who carries all his hopes, of fleeing the harsh environment of his horrific childhood. It is clear from the beginning of the book that the author attempts to show the issues of identity and the struggle to attain a specific type of personality, a significant component in this memoir and a typical struggle in the lives of many young men. 5. Animal Farm by George Orwell Animal Farm is a novel by George Orwell, which was first published in England in 17 August 1945. The book tells the story of a group of animals. Farm animals who rebel against the human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free and happy. Ultimately, however, the rebellion is betrayed and the farm ends up in a state as bad as it was before. Another dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon. This book is a symbolic account of the rise of communism in Russia. Reading and understanding this story will help every young man understand the circumstances and mindsets that can lead to an abuse of power. This book is also essential for men interested in pursuing a career in politics. Perhaps it will help you avoid some significant pitfalls associated with that industry. 6. The Road by Cormac McCarthy One powerful quote of this book is that a man must be a law until himself if there is to be any law at all. The road describes the journey south taken by a young boy and his father after an unnamed catastrophe has struck the world. The man and the boy who also remain unnamed throughout the novel travel through the rough terrain of the southeastern United States. The conditions they face are unforgiven, rotted corpses, landscapes devastated by fire, abandoned towns and houses and these two travelers are among the few living creatures remaining on earth that have not been driven to murder, rape and cannibalism. This book teaches that a person is the final judge of his decisions, hence you must make the right ones. 7. East of Eden by John Steinbeck East of Eden is a novel by novel prize winner John Steinbeck published in September 1952. East of Eden brings to life the intricate details of two families, the Trasks and the Hamiltins and their interwoven stories. The novel was initially addressed to Steinbeck's young sons, Thumb and John. The dynamics of father-son relationships especially the issue of the father's preference for one son over another are central to the story told in East of Eden. The book about how Adam Trasks' favoritism for one of his sons causes the other to be jealous and leads him into an action that caused his brother's life. This book which explores the theme of evil, love, the struggle for acceptance, guilt and freedom has many lessons for the young male folks as it tries to portray the story of the biblical Cain and Abel. The main idea is that although one of the fundamental concepts in East of Eden is that evil is an inherent and inescapable human problem, the novel also sets forth hope that each individual has the freedom to overcome evil by his or her own choices. 8. The Prince by Nicola Machiavelli Machiavelli wrote the prince to serve as a handbook for rulers and he claims explicitly throughout the work that he is not interested in talking about ideal republics. Machiavelli stripped out the ideals and drew examples from history. He believed that anyone who ignores realities in a misguided attempt to live up to a model would quickly destroy himself. He de-emphasized the importance of moral considerations and focused instead on effectiveness, believing that the end justified the means. According to Canadian scholar and politician Michael Ignatiev, the prince forces readers to confront in the starkest terms possible the most important questions about politics and morality.

Hello, this is Demetrius Romp, the Director of Safety and Risk Management for the City of Columbia. This is your monthly safety message for the City of Columbia employees in the public. I'm here today to talk about Back to School Safety, which is the August safety tip for the month of August. As the summer closes and our kids approach us going back to school, it is our responsibility to keep our kids safely as they bike and travel to and from school. Whether you're taking your child to school or you're traveling through a school zone, it is up to you to do your part to keep our kids safely. Remember to follow these simple back to school safety tips. Bus stops. As motorists, as we approach a school bus that has been stopped with red flashing lights, it is up to us to pay attention to those red flashing lights and the stop sign that's extended from the school bus. Also, we must make sure that we follow all traffic rules and regulations when approaching the school. Next, we must make sure that we play a close attention when we're around schools on school buses and parking lot. Remember, red ahead means stop, kids ahead. While driving, make sure you play close attention when you travel through school zones and residential neighborhoods because kids may be biking or going to school. Also, as children, wait to catch the school bus. They must remain in a safe place away from the road. While driving, make sure you don't text and drive. And last but not least, make sure that we pay attention to our kids at their crossing the street. Make sure that the kids are using a crosswalk or crossing the corner with the traffic signal. Remember the City of Columbia want each and every one of us to enjoy our kids going back to school safely from the summer. Remember safety starts with an S, but it begins with you.

Good evening, friends of the creaking door. This is your host, inviting you into the inner sanctum. Come in, come on in. Oh, come on, we love companies. Simply can't do enough to them. We've got lots of games custom designed for our guests. They are simply slayer. The favorites called a tisket, a casket. But the game we play best is called revival. Oh, it's wonderful. You pass out and we try to revive you. If we don't, you don't. Now for our eerie spell. The hitchhiking corpse. Climb up on the driver's seat. Sit close to the driver. Sean O'Hara, the bewitched man with the deep-set eyes. Hear what he has to tell about the beautiful corpse of Maidot County. The girl who lost her head over him. Eileen, the last time I saw her, she was standing where she always waits for me. The rain on the little white bridge where the road takes a bend around Moon Hollow. I could hear her call for me to stop her. My mind was made up to that. And then the lightning flash burned over her like a mission lighted candles. And she was standing there where she always waited for me. Without her head, Eileen had lost her head. Am I right in my mind now, I'm wondering? These things I know, these things that I saw. Was it a dream? The man's imagination gets tipsy when he drives a great silver van 400 miles in the lowliness of the night. Eileen, the first time I saw her, she was standing where she stood the last time on a little white bridge near Moon Hollow. Climb in, miss.  It's a black mark on the book for me if the company inspectors see you riding in the cab. I'll be docked. They won't see me. Only you can see me, son. Only I can... You're calling me by name. No. I'm making up a name for you. But it is my name, Sean, Sean O'Hara. That's an uncanny bit of making up you just did, miss. Try, Sean. If you try, you too can do an uncanny bit of making up. With your hair like it is, and your face, just one name suits only one name. And my name? Eileen. I am Eileen. And just where are you riding to? To Nader County. But someday, not tonight. Nader County's a good 80 mile ride from Moon Hollow. Is it someday, I heard you say? Yes, someday I'll be riding to Nader County. And it will be you all who will take me there. This little to that I always pass through, mate. I could sign my route. My people came from up there. It's a big house, we once had. A great big house. Without windows. Without windows, you say? There was a great hall. And a great long table. With my people sitting round it. The living and the dead. The living and the... A house without windows and now it's the living and the dead.  But you're as bad as a loon. Am I really a pretty one too, you Sean? Sure. Pretty hair. Eyes to light up a man's dream.  The two of them fit into one of mine. The face. A face, Sean. No, the face I cannot praise. Why not? With all the war paint on it.  Don't bite your tongue, Sean.  Good night to you. Good night, Sean. I'll be waiting again tomorrow night at Moon Rallo. I watched her go sailing off on the mist. As high as my eyes could go, I could see her riding into the sky like a night witch. And then blowing into the smoke of the moon. There had been no Irene.  A man's imagination gets tipsy when he drives a great silver van in the loneliness of the night. I pulled into the yard behind old Morgan's diner to sleep the night from two to six curl up on my cab like I always did. I'm a hearty man and a steady sleeper, not given to dreaming. But this night, bad luck to me, I dreamed. She was leaning over me. I leaned through the moon in her eyes.  Old Mill House in Nadak, where the water flows. The dreamin' man doesn't turn on the radio. I guess you've had all the music you need to wake you up. Was you able to turn my radio on? Me it was. Were you thinking the radio turned itself on? I had a dream about a girl. A nightmare's more like what you had. The looks I hear you were thrashing about in that seat and beating yourself on the face with your fists. Beating myself. Why is that? Through the blood. All over your shirt. Blood.   An hour late for unloading in the Cloverville depot. O'Hara. Yeah, Rick. Come over to the van a minute. Well, the loaders can't get an air full. You're acting funny. We've got everything off the inventory calls for. But there are three other items. I threw a canvas cover over them before the boys got a look at them. Did you look into your van? What's under the canvas cover, Rick? Coffins, O'Hara. Three old pinewood coffins. You want to tell me something? What? To tell you? Oh, sure. I almost forgot about those coffins. It's a side job, some yokel undertaker down by Moon Hollow. I have to drop them off somewhere. Save them truck and charges that way and make myself $20 side money.  Lying is safe, but it's a fact, Rick. Positively affected. I'm giving you half of the $20 for covering me. Wasn't one to pass up $20 for truck and three empty coffins. The coffins are at empty, O'Hara. And you never took a job from any local undertaker either. You seem to know a lot about something. I know Route 266. I was born and raised here. What is there to know? For one thing, the red-headed witch of Moon Hollow, maybe. You might be trucking the dead for her. Eileen? Or any name you give her. She was Katie to a trucker named Conway who had your run once. To hear Conway tell it, Katie or Eileen was always trying to get him to take her dead out of Moon Hollow to somewhere else. Tomato curry to the old millhouse. Or somewhere. Anyhow, that's how the story usually goes. But what she's really out to do is drive you crazy. How do you know there is such a girl? There's pine boxes in there. I saw them on Conway's truck once, like they're on yours now. Conway dumped them right back in Moon Hollow. Take my advice. From now on, pass the red-headed up. Jam your accelerator to the floorboard and go pass the red-80. I don't know what I'll do. What I did, bad luck to me on the trip back, was look for the waterfalls and the old millhouse when I came to the Maidock County line. Was there an old millhouse where the waterfalls I was wondering? Or was I a man looking hard to lose his mind? I brought one of the caskets to the ground. It wasn't empty, but there wasn't much weight toward either. I opened it. Held the dead all right, but not the face or the body of the dead. It was only the skeleton. The skeleton of someone dead more years than the mind can imagine. There was a waterfall in the deep woods. The music of water, Lylean's voice splashing in it. There was an old millhouse down below the rocks. A stone house without windows, like Lylean had said. I pulled an old rusted boot and opened the door to one great room and a table that went from wall to wall. It was old and the flying dust could blind a man so he'd only see what his tipsy imagination would want him to see. I saw Lylean. Lylean standing before me with her arms out. I could thin shadow my eyes could see through to the wall.   Here's something terribly new in summing a ride. A witchhiker. And it eats witch too on the old boy meets girl formula. This one's boy meets girl. Lylean, now there's a funny last dead set on getting ahead. And if she keeps up the pace, she'll have a horror shun of his sanity any mile now. But let's get back beside our bewitched truck. A man's imagination gets tipsy when he drives a great silver van in the loneliness of the night. But there was an old millhouse where the water falls, as Lylean had said. And it was there I left three caskets of the old dead. Passing moon hollow on the way back, I stopped in at Morgan's diner for some Mormon coffee. It was just a little morgan putting his profits into the screamin' jukebox. Oh, her! It's you! Nobody else. I've been waitin' all night for you to come. I stopped for a time in my duck. Well, I just take it the way you look. Have I slipped out on you for a meal? No. I don't understand the looks of you. This shoebox. Oh, you see. Your name's rippin' on it. Sean O'Henner. And left by home. The devil's own daughter.  Her face sold smooth with blood, was it? I've seen her, too. We are all acquaintances by now. When I left Morgan's prying eyes, I opened the shoebox.  I opened the envelope. Two tickets there were, to a costume party in the moon hollow firehouse for the next night. And the tin can, full of money. A shower and a Vindian pennies and buffalo nickels, coins with a grit and tarnace of years on it. Like some miser had saved them in a secret nook of the kitchen. That was too much for a tired working man to puzzle out. My poor head would have none of it. Oh, to hold back that night. It was time enough for puzzles another night. She'd be standin' on the little white bridge where the road takes a bend. And then I would put my questions to her. And for me to stop. Her dress was changed. It was a costume now she was wearin'. All silk and gay, like she was dressed up for a party. You weren't going to stop. In fact, no, you'll not be ridin' in my cab. And I'll not be truckin' your dead ancestors any more. Not for a barrel of nickels and pennies here. Take your money. No. It was grandmother's savings. She wants you to have it. Oh, so there's a grandmother too, isn't it? Yes. And when will she be ridin' along to the old millhouse? Tonight, Sean. She will ride with you tonight. And after that, I'll be ridin' with you to made up too. And that settles the count of your people? No. It still is you, Sean. Am I here when you say me? Yes, you too will sit at the long table in the great hall of the dead. You will sit beside me. Alive, is it to be, or dead? Dead, Sean. Like us. And what will snuff me out a hearty man like me without a sickness?  Your heart will just stop. My heart will stop. Don't want to sit beside me. It's not my way of woein' a lady. Sean? Yes, I need. Do you like my costume? I do. And what's it for? The dance at the firehouse. I thought you would take me. I think not. Then I will go along. Good night, Sean. Compliments of the evening to you, miss. Dead of sleepin' in old Morgan's yard. There I was just before the midnight hour. In the costume of a trucker with a totter in mind. And lookin' for Ileane in the firehouse. I found her in her stilkin' gaze here where the Japanese lads were dimmest. The dirty mask that the others were. Dancing like the others. Sean? You're not surprised I came? I knew you'd come. You're not dancing? The music is stopped. It's unmasking time. Midnight's not a minute away. The caller's another... Attention! Attention, everyone! Where's Sean O'Hara? Speak again. Say my name again. Your voice. Is that the voice of Ileane? I am not Ileane. Put your hand to my mask, Sean. I am old. And the life you see is the last I have to show.  I am Ileane's grandmother. But Ileane, she was here. Her hand was in mine. Dressed in the costume with the silk and gear that you're now wearing. Ileane slipped away. To leave me with you. You have business with me now, Sean. Business, you see? Take me to Maida County. The old millhouse where the water falls. I'll be waiting tonight with you, O'Hara. I drove the lonely night to the Maida County line. With my freight of storage eggs and canned puts. I met dead in a pine box. The old grandmother and her silks was in her casket. I didn't bother to ask whose job it was. I put the questions to Ileane the next time she waited for me where the road takes a bend around Moon Hollow. And she was there like I know she'd be. Pointing her thumb to hitch a ride. I did what the checker read late. She said Conway failed the tour. I passed her up. I pushed the gas accelerator to the floor and passed her by and ate. A streak where the highway bends into Moon Hollow. But I didn't leave Ileane behind. She was on the seat beside me. You didn't want to stop, Sean? Beside me. Without her head. I did, Sean. Now drive me to Maida County. Imagination gets tipsy. The sheriff of Maida County is one to know it. And the doctor beside him looking at me with eyes of pity is one to know it too. I hear them talking to me. But the words go sailing into the smoke of the moon. I listen. But I do not understand. You ran over on the bridge down in Moon Hollow last night. A 20-ton truck or her. Her head was severed. I'll tell you all you need to know about Ileane Grant, her grandmother and her people. They were run out of the old mill out of Maida County about 30 years ago. Native superstition did that. The family was thought to have, well, called it evil powers. Where did you take Ileane to, Hannah? No. Ileane. What did you do with the body? I'll take you to her. Come, I'll take you to her. I took the sheriff and the doctor to the old mill house where the water falls. Here, sheriff, is Ileane and her people sitting around the table in the great hall of the dead. Who, Hannah? To do this, to set them around the table like that, you couldn't be in your right mind, man. No, I couldn't be. And I'm no one to admit that. I'm not in my right mind to sit here beside Ileane now. What can there ever be between a man and a girl sitting in rotten in an old mill with her ancestors looking for none? Oh, Harry, take a look at him.  Just like that, sheriff. Oh, Harry's heart just stopped. As if. As a special inducement to insanity, a pretty girl can tell you which of the two jobs is the more harrowing. Well, I've got one carved right here on my vertebra. This is for any motorist who runs across Ileane. Give her the go-by, Bob. Or she'll get you with dead mileage. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Pleasant.
