Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin It’s the weekend and that means that at least some lucky folks get to take a break from the 9-to-5 grind and relax.

This isn’t the busiest weekend for new movies and shows, but I have some suggestions along with a full list of new content coming to Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, HBO and more below. Wakanda Forever (Disney+) As you can see in the image above, Wakanda Forever is finally streaming. The Black Panther sequel dropped on Disney+ this week, and if you haven’t gotten around to seeing it now you have no excuses. I actually . . . still haven’t seen this movie somehow. I think when I saw the run-time (2 hours and 41 minutes) I just balked at going to it in theaters. I’d seen The Batman recently and it was too long. I knew I’d be going to Avatar: The Way Of Water soon and it was way too long. … [Read more...] about What To Stream This Weekend On Netflix, HBO, Disney+, Amazon Prime And More

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin It may sound a unusual, but it was a combination of a school subject and some purposeful inhaling and exhaling that brought two actors together. This connection happened during the production of Dear Edward , a series focused on Edward Adler, a 12-year-old boy who survives a devastating commercial plane crash that kills every other passenger on the flight, including his own family. As Edward and others all over the world try to make sense of life after the crash, unexpected friendships, romances, and communities are formed. The series is based on the book of the same name by Ann Napolitano. Colin O’Brien, who plays Edward, explains how he got into character, saying, “Well, I certainly used some things from my own life to play roles and I think that’s kind of a thing I focus on a lot.” Prepping for certain scene, he says, “I remember I would sometimes just put my head down. I would just think things through. … [Read more...] about ‘Dear Edward’ Takes An Emotional Look At Grief, Connection, And Resilience

Arapaima are now found in Kerala (Photo: Jeff Kubina via Wikimedia Commons) Think about it. The origin story of the brown trout in India dates back to just over 100 years. It was introduced to the cold waters of the Kashmir Valley by the British . The fish has since flourished in the erstwhile state.  It has also snagged a spot on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN’s) 100 of the world's worst invasive alien species (IAS) and emerged as one of the biggest threats to the indigenous snow trout and 150 other native fish species found in the Himalayan waters. An internal study by the Wildlife Institute of India pins the blame on climate change. “This particular breed inhabits cold waters, but rising temperatures are pushing native fish species northwards, leading to a conflict with the brown trout. It is a conflict that the brown trout will dominate,” says Arjun Singh, who has been working towards the conservation of the snow trout in the Kashmir region for … [Read more...] about How climate change is helping invasive species thrive in India’s waterbodies

Reuters You’ll probably hear the term “net-zero emissions” a lot over the coming weeks as government leaders and CEOs, under pressure, talk about how they’ll reduce their countries’ or businesses’ impact on climate change. Amazon, for example, just announced that more than 200 companies have now joined its Climate Pledge, committing to reach net-zero emissions by 2040. But what does net-zero emissions actually mean? “Zero emissions” – without the “net” caveat – means emitting no greenhouse gases. “Net-zero emissions” has more wiggle room. It’s like balancing a checkbook. The country or company cuts most of its emissions through efficiency and clean energy, then offsets the rest by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or eliminating emissions elsewhere.

BACK HOME Carmelita Salcedo Dec. 12, 1949 – Feb. 1, 2023 —Contributed photo It is the first Sunday of February, the month of love. So let’s talk about love: the mystery from yore and yonder, from time immemorial to ever after. I am blessed to have received the truest kind of love, the kind described by St. Paul—patient, kind, does not envy, does not dishonor others, does not delight in evil, is not self-seeking, is not easily angered, keeps no records of wrongs, rejoices in the truth, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Of course I received this not from a lover but from my mother! My mother, Carmelita Vargas Salcedo, was called home by the Lord and gracefully departed in her sleep on the first of February. But her legacy of love will last forever. She was my biggest food influencer. First, she ingrained in me the best flavors of home: Sta. Maria Bulacan’s chicharon, sinampalukan, embotido, monghe, achara. Then we traveled the world for food: she was my date in … [Read more...] about A mother’s legacy of love
