How One Minecraft Video Proves The Futility of Increasing Police Budgets
Policing is a contentious issue in the US. As crime increases (though it is still far lower than our country's high in the 90s), a lot of politicians are saying that we need to increase police budgets so we can hire more officers. 46th President of the US, Joe Biden, has made repeated requests for increased police budgets, and the same proposals have been made by mayors and governors across the country.

How Pretty Woman erased sex from its story
A middle-aged businessman pays a much-younger prostitute to be his live-in lover for a week. It’s a sordid premise for a feel-good romantic comedy, but that didn’t stop Pretty Woman being one of the biggest hits of 1990. And now, 30 years later, the film is still so cherished that a musical adaptation opened in London’s West End, after a successful run on Broadway (now closed due to the Coronavirus crisis). How did the film’s director, Garry Marshall, get away with it? How did he make such a tasteless exploitation fantasy seem almost wholesome? Well, casting a star with the incandescent beauty and charm of Julia Roberts was undoubtedly a factor. But another factor was casting a co-star, Richard Gere, who behaved as if that beauty and charm meant nothing to him.

The one Christmas present I always wanted
Now I’m sure most people have memories of Christmas mornings when they went downstairs to open what was left by Santa Claus and to their delight, they got what they had asked for. This is not one of those stories.

Love In The Villa
Two strangers -Mortal enemies. A turf war - Apologies. Enemies to friends. A misunderstanding. A profession of love - Passionate lovers - The end. Sound familiar. Yes! Like every romcom that ever was. But what would make this one stand out from the crowd? I'll tell you. It's the ambience, the history, the lovely sights and sounds, the poetry, and the celebration of fine wine and Shakespeare. Love in the Villa is a delightful movie for lovers of rom-com, travel, history, fine wine, poetry, and literature. The scenic locations, wine, spats, crazy taxi drivers, and other quirks all add to the beauty of this movie. If you enjoyed watching A Perfect Pairing, you will definitely love this movie.

I finished wringing the clothes off and started to get tired myself. I'm sure it was mostly from dealing with our little friends. I still felt sore all over. They pierced my skin plenty of times. We're lucky their weapons weren't poisoned, or we'd be goners. We could not have dodged all those attacks in the dark. Knowing I was tired, I scanned for intruders before deciding who to wake up next.

Splash! We fell off a cliff into a river. It was narrow and in between the forest. That must be why we didn’t notice it before. We probably were tricked. It seems like they expected us to fall to our deaths. Luckily neither of us smashed into any rocks. The water was too deep to walk in, and If anything, that saved our lives. Or maybe just mines. These brutes probably lost a leg or arm falling about 50 feet. The river stream had a gentle current going down. After locking our eyes and regaining our composure, we decided to go with the draft.

We had a fire; I patched everyone while we were periodically attacked. I started thinking to myself. We have to end this battle soon. Bulls Eye and John could use the rest as the fight wore on, though. We started getting used to their timed attacks. Instead of getting tired, we were getting more focused. It'll still be a problem once the adrenaline wears off.

Anatomy of a Scene – ‘To Know Me Is To Fly With Me’
Some people are most comfortable on the ground, others down below beneath the sea. Ryan Bingham, however, is most comfortable up in the air. Ryan goes from city to city and from town to town racking up airline miles, staying in recognizable hotels, and sadly letting people go from jobs by helping them with the transition process to a new life. He does the dirty work, which can be quite tense and unforgiving. He does not do his job out of pleasure for helping companies fire people in-person but rather because he likes life on the road and is comfortable being in airports, rental cars, and hotels rather than in a cubicle or a factory day in and day out.

Bulls Eye and I arrived at the job center before it even opened. We'll be the first two in line, just as planned. Some people are still out on adventures, and the rest must be asleep! A few minutes after waiting at the entrance door, an attendant came and opened the door.
