NEW YORK (AP) — Despite critical acclaim and two years-worth of anticipation, Steven Spielberg’s lavish “West Side Story” revival made little noise at the box office, debuting with $10.5 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday — a worrisome result for a movie industry struggling to recapture its finger-snapping rhythm. A dazzling widescreen adaptation and Spielberg’s first musical, “West Side Story” was one of the year’s most eagerly awaited titles. With a script by Tony Kushner and Rita Moreno returning to her breakthrough film 60 years later, the $100-million “West Side Story” epitomizes a grand-scale prestige film that...

Massive data breaches have become so common that we’ve gotten numb to reports detailing another hack or 0-day exploit. That doesn’t reduce the risk of such events happening, as the cat-and-mouse game between security experts and hackers continues. As some vulnerabilities get fixed, others pop up requiring attention from product and service providers. The newest one has a name that will not mean anything to most people. They call the hack Log4Shell in security briefings, which doesn’t sound very scary. But the new 0-day attack is so significant that some people see it as the worst internet hack in history.......

While all atomic nuclei except hydrogen are composed of protons and neutrons, physicists have been searching for a particle consisting of two, three, or four neutrons for over half a century. Experiments by a team of physicists of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) at the accelerator laboratory...now indicate that a particle comprising four bound neutrons may well exist. Should such particle exist, parts of the theory of the strong interaction would need to be rethought. In 2016, a group in Japan attempted to produce tetra-neutrons from helium-4 by bombarding it with a beam of radioactive helium-8 particles. This reaction...

Alex Green, Chief Investment Strategist of The Oxford Club, explains how the majority of investors fundamentally misunderstand when and why corporate officers and directors sell or buy their own shares… And this consistently leads to huge misses on investor profits left and right. Read on to see whether this error applies to you. – Kyle Wehrle, Assistant Managing Editor Finance professors who study insider transactions often issue a warning sign about the market when they see corporate officers and directors selling more shares than they’re buying. But this is entirely misguided, not least of all because corporate insiders almost always...

While many countries are either voting and threatening to make vaccines mandatory, the UK being one of them, Japan allows individuals to choose whether to be injected with the experimental gene-therapies or not and also labels the vaccines with warnings.Additives WarningsEven the additives in the vaccines are highlighted in the vaccines available in Japan. Three Covid-19 gene-therapy treatments are currently offered, they include the Pfizer/BioNTech (Comirnaty) and Takeda’s Moderna formulation. Vaxzevria (formerly AstraZeneca) is also administered but only recommended to people 40-year-old and over.The product descriptions of Pfizer and Moderna state that: “This product contains an additive that has never...

Since the start of the pandemic, natural supplements have been a bone of contention with researchers, pharmaceutical companies, doctors and health experts. Newly published data again support past research that vitamin D has a significant impact on Covid-19.One study published in Nutrients found supplementing with vitamin D in patients with confirmed Covid-19 shortened the length of hospitalisation, even in those with comorbidities.This data is part of mounting evidence that those with optimal levels of vitamin D may have a reduced risk of getting infected and, if infected, a lowered risk of severe disease and mortality.The only way to definitively identify...

Abstract and Figures Background: Ivermectin has demonstrated different mechanisms of actions that could potentially protect from both COVID-19 infection and COVID-19-related comorbidities. Based on the existing literature and safety profile of ivermectin, a citywide program of prophylactic use of ivermectin for COVID-19 was implemented in Itajai, a Southern city in Brazil in the state of Santa Catarina. The objective of this analysis is to evaluate the effects of the use of ivermectin for prevention of COVID-19 infection, risk of dying and mortality, compared to non-users. Materials and methods: This is a retrospective analysis of registry data from the medical based...

On August 25th Biden ordered that every member of the US military (active, reserve and national guard) must perform a fundamental sacrament of the mind virus cult known as “vaccination”. A week before the order US military Covid deaths stood at 34. Presently they stand at 79. In other words, in the 4 months since the injection order as many US servicemen were deemed to have died with/from Covid as in the entire 17 months before the order was given. In the entire vaccine-free 2020 fewer than 20 US servicemen died with/from Covid. (24 by March.) The unvaccinated military of...

QuestionShould I use you and me or you and I? Answer Whether to use I or me depends on whether the phrase is the subject of the sentence or the object of the sentence. I is a subject pronoun, and the subject is the person or thing doing the action as in "I went to the store." Me is an object pronoun, and the object is the person or thing the action happens to as in "Alex liked me." Use you and I when it is the subject of the sentence; use you and me when it is the object...

In southern Indiana, in a town of just over 2,500 people, one name stands out everywhere you look … on the hardware store, the community center, even the fire department (with trucks named after some familiar reindeer). But the town's most important distinction? It has the only post office bearing Santa Claus' name. For more than 90 years, letters from around the world have found their way here, to Santa Claus, Ind. ... "It was in 1930 that 'Ripley's Believe It or Not' had a cartoon saying, 'If you write to this little town in Indiana, you'll get a letter.'...

The NBC media panel for Meet the Press is absolutely apoplectic about their inability to destroy President Donald Trump and his supportive base of pragmatic, awakened Americans. The pearl-clutching and fear are palpable, as the leftist roundtable contemplates future elections that may deconstruct decades of election control, manipulation, fraud and falsehood. What the panel of John Heilemann, Marianna Sotomayor, Kimberly Atkins Stohr and Brendan Buck really fear is the pesky system within our constitutional republic we call ‘federalism’. They need to keep their attacks against Donald Trump cast in the role of eliminating baby Hitler simply to avoid confronting the...

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - The Michigan Court of Appeals won't order a hospital to use a deworming drug to treat a man who has health problems related to COVID-19. The court said it won't disrupt the judgment of doctors at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor. “A court directive in this matter could open the door for a flood of similar suits from other patients with COVID-19, not to mention other conditions, suing to obtain care that is contrary to hospital policies,” the court said Friday. The daughter of a 68-year-old man sued after doctors refused to use...

To say “wokeness” has gone too far is like saying the Y2K threat may be over. Both statements are long past their usefulness even as our woke society continues to push the boundaries of lunacy. Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has been outspoken about her feminism that does not abide by the tenets of modern day LGBTQ+ supremacy. In particular, gender idiocy is a hot topic for her because she rightly feels biological men have taken advantage of the feminist movement, prioritizing their identity over the rights of biological women. We see it daily in sports, bathrooms, and Loudoun County...

Brand CEO Brandstaetter to join management board - sources Supervisory board to meet on Thursday HAMBURG, Dec 6 (Reuters) - Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess will likely stay on to lead Europe's largest carmaker as part of a solution that will see him cede some responsibilities following a clash with labour leaders, two people familiar with the matter said. The solution would potentially end the carmaker's latest leadership tussle, which has caused uncertainty among investors and led the group's preferred shares to fall significantly in recent weeks. After protracted negotiations led by Volkswagen Supervisory Board Chairman Hans Dieter Poetsch, a way...

summary from the comments: Patrick went on a public stage and revealed his Get-Out-of-Jail-Free-Card, his secret espionage arrangement with the FBI, he detailed how he fooled the FBI and practically accuses John Brennan of plotting with Antifa and worse to erase patriotic nationals inside the USA. Patrick conjected on stage yesterday that after this he'll either be killed or arrested. In short, in my view, Patrick wants to draw attention to himself in the biggest baddest way possible. The election fraud efforts of Mike Lindell are failing because the Attorneys General are cowards. The one Attorney General who could have...

OSAKA, Japan (LifeSiteNews) – COVID vaccines may pose at least a seven times higher risk of death than the virus itself for people in their 20s, a Japanese medical bulletin warns. A review in the most recent issue of Med Check, a bimonthly bulletin published by the Japan Institute of Pharmacovigilance (NOPJIP) as a member of the International Society of Drug Bulletins (ISDB), found that the death risk of the jabs may even be as high as 40 times greater for young people. Med Check cited three reports of individuals between the ages of 20 and 29 who died within...

The devolved Scottish administration led by the SNP is seeking to change the law to allow men who self-identify as trans, without a medical diagnosis, access to women-only spaces — including prisons, if they commit rape. An MP and former Scottish justice secretary has condemned the "absurdity" of police recording rapists as women if they "identify as a female". East Lothian MP Kenny MacAskill wrote to Police Scotland to ask how it would record sex crimes if the new Gender Recognition Reform Bill in the devolved Holyrood parliament becomes law. "In a letter seen by The Scottish Sun on Sunday,...
