A Treachery to the Faithful . Content Warning.
The Roman Catholic Church is one of the oldest institutions in history. It is an ancient organization that has preserved itself through layers of secrecy, holy rituals, and worldwide acceptance of Catholic doctrine. It is this faith that wills this system to outlast the lives of all their believers, thus, clearly showing the power of collective faith and belief. But this power, this trust, was immensely and systematically abused, betraying a billion people all believing and relying in this religion. The Boston Globe revealed a major discrepancy that exploded into a major scandal that shook the long-standing beliefs of Catholics right down to its cultural core.

I have just watched this movie and wanted to write up my impressions while they are still fresh. I'll use my already familiar media literacy critique formula: any good creation of art (a movie, a painting, a book - anything, really, that has some encoded information in it as a medium) will affect us humans on four different dimensions. The best ones will pull all four strings, but a successful creation would probably have at least two:

Are you as confused as me?
Everyone who knows me knows that I am a big fan of the HBO show Game of Thrones. I thought George R.R. Martin was a genius, and I thought the team that brought us the show was simply brilliant. I refer to that show very often as I got to know all of the main characters very well glued to each episode and rewatching it on DVD multiple times.

Unraveling the Notions of Love and Capitalism through The Maxton Hall Series
We all love the romantic trope of enemies to lovers that serves a slow burn, leaving us gasping for air amidst the sizzling chemistry of the main characters, diving us deep into the escapism of their romance. Adolescent angst and feelings take centre stage in this show, which is perfect if you enjoy typical high school teen dramas. Your heartstrings will be pulled by the series' poignant depiction of love. The series is unique because of its sharp lines, which strike a deep chord with us. Amazon Prime’s most recent release Maxton Hall embodies the romantic dramatism of the pro-capitalist enemies of lovers James and Ruby, giving us a breathtaking onscreen presence yet the predictability of the plot and the fine crevices of incompleteness in the evolution of the subplots hampers it from being a massive feature of swoonworhty foes to romantic partners. Let's dive deeper into the nuances of the series

Innovative Approaches: Applying Ancient Indian Wisdom to Contemporary Management
Ethos is derived from the Greek language originally meaning “accustomed place” or a character that one shows while in the face of challenges. Ethos can be described as the characters, disposition, and values of a particular individual or community that drive their actions and fuel them to make the right decisions at the right time. Ethos is not peculiar to a particular style of dressing or following a religion. It is deeply rooted in a person’s psyche that empowers and motivates him to build the foundations of what he stands by in his existence. The collective spirit of a community that builds unity in them and roots into their consciousness as a guiding force is the literal meaning of the term ethos.

The Boys Just Made a HUGE Mistake with Starlight! Will They Regret It?
While the gruff Butcher (Karl Urban) might be a fan favorite, the show's emotional core rests on the transformations of Hughie (Jack Quaid) and Annie (Erin Moriarty). Thrust into a world-altering encounter in the pilot, they became the audience's surrogates. Unlike Butcher, who remains his delightfully crass self, Hughie and Annie have undergone dramatic journeys, evolving from wide-eyed innocents into hardened individuals forced to confront the show's brutal realities.

Facebook went to hell
Mark Zuckerburg, I don't know if you sold out or if you just don't care anymore. Facebook has gone to hell. I've never seen it this bad in all the years I've been visiting that site. I used to love your website. I used to have great chats with friends and new people. I used to love the memes and political banter. I even thought that marketing options for businesses was a great addition and the share and send to Facebook links were wonderful for awhile. But now, it's all trash. It's all ruined. I have deleted my account so many times and then with some sad pathetic lonely hope I return and reinstate my account only to be tragically disappointed at how bad it is now.

The Valley of Headless Men
Each of us has our own daily grind that tends to become repetitive, monotonous, and uninteresting. This is largely because there isn’t anything new in cities and towns that we have explored more times than we might care to count. Yet, there are still places in the world that remain wild, unexplored, and primal. One such place is The Valley of Headless Men, known formally as The Nahanni National Park Reserve.
