In 1883, the time traveling alien known as the Doctor (Doctor 7) and his companion Ace travelled to Earth to investigate the creepy manor known as Gabriel Chase. Among the manor’s secrets appeared to be a strange creature and a stone spaceship. To make matters worse, the Doctor learned that Queen Victoria’s life might be at stake.

New Scotland Yard: Reunion (1.12, LWT, 1972)
"It's not his style!"
"And Clifford's not a very pleasant character."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Just I think he's being getting under your skin."
"Well, he'd get under anybody's skin."
"Because he got away with it, before?"
"There are no facts to prove that Clifford wasn't there. Just as there were no facts to prove that he wasn't a party to the bank job, but you and I and every man in this force know that he was."
"And there's damn all we can do about it. Look, I'm not stitching him up just because he happens to have made idiots of us in the past; we have to prove, conclusively, without supposition, who killed Gemmell."

Tiny Review: Look To The Light 2024. Should have been a TV series episode.
Tumblr media
Reminds me of Black Mirror, and Inside No.9. British, premise-driven, beat-driven twist-driven.  
Lacking in everything else and stretched too thin though. Meh.
Tumblr media
Look To The Light is a 2024 British drama film written and directed by Christopher Manoe, starring Charlie Goddard and Lucy Benjamin, with Mark Monaghan, Kele Le Roe, Sharon Duce, Marion Fagbemi, and Lily Blunsom-Washbrook,

SCULPT X at Sharon Beauty Centre - Kingsbury VIC
Tumblr media Tumblr media
 How Does SculptX Work? HI-EMT (High-Intensity Focused Electro-Magnetic Technology) technology can continuously expand and contract your own muscles apx 20,000 Times per session. HI-EMT can disrupt fat cells and deeply reshape the internal structure of the muscles, increase the growth of the myofibrils (muscles growth) and pro- duce new proteins chains and muscle fibers (muscle hyperplasia). resulting in increased muscle density and volume. SculptX patients have also reported better posture, improved performance at sports or gym activity, reduced back pain, and an increase in confidence. The results are long lasting!
What can I expect during consultation? Your treatment plan will begin with a consultation, after determining the SculptX is the right course of action for you, a treatment plan will be developed for you that meets your needs.
How many sessions do I need? For the full 'wow' factor, the recommended treatment plant is eight 30 minute sessions. Spaced 2-4 days apart. Results can be seen immediately after your first treatment, and the optimal result can be seen from two weeks after the final treatment.
What does it feel like? Like a great workout, without the sweat. You can relax and watch your favourite Netflix show while sculptX does the workout for you.
Is there any downtime? SculptX is non-invasive and requires no recovery time or any pre/post treatment preparation or downtime.

Buddy’s Song **½ (1991, Roger Daltrey, Chesney Hawkes, Sharon Duce) – Classic Movie Review 9956
Director Claude Whatham’s 1991 Buddy’s Song stars Roger Daltrey as Terry Clark, a middle-aged rocker who fights with his yuppie wife Carol (Sharon Duce) and teaches his aspiring teenage son, the eponymous Buddy (Chesney Hawkes), how to rock n’ roll.
Written by Nigel Hinton, based on his novel, this is an endearingly old-fashioned British pop musical, based on Daltrey’s 1986 BBC TV series Buddy.…

Punishment simply involves the presentation of an undesired consequence (positive punishment) when the wrong behavior is performed, such as a snap of the leash, or the removal of a desired consequence (negative punishment) when the wrong behavior is performed, such as the trainer eating the cheese that would have been the reward.[41] A behavior that has previously been developed may cease if reinforcement stops; this is called extinction.

The demonstration of the detour by humans significantly improved the dogs’ performance in the trials. The experiments showed that dogs are able to rely on information provided by human action when confronted with a new task. Significantly, they did not copy the exact path of the human demonstrator, but adopted the detour behavior shown by humans to reach their goal.[55] A 1977 experiment by Adler and Adler found that puppies who watched other puppies learn to pull a food cart into their cages by an attached ribbon proved considerably faster at the task when later given the opportunity themselves. At 38 days of age, the demonstrator puppies took an average of 697 seconds to succeed, while the observers succeeded in an average of 9 seconds.[56] Palmerston, Northern Territory Take me to: Copyright © 2018 Delta Institute Good Leadership and Communication A powerful philosophical approach.

Wednesday Roundup
Today I’m going to be experiencing a full spectrum of what comics have to offer be it reading level, genre, story type, and values. Which is infinitely weird because it both promotes the fact that I have exceptionally bizarre tastes and that I’m nothing if not critical the most of the things I love the most. So let’s just jump right into it.
lso I’m not going to go fully into this in the actual reviews but it bears mentioning here: none of these covers are fair examples of the actual content of their issues. Like this is some 90s/early 2000s sorta marketing lies at this point. GIVE US COOL COVERS THAT ACTUALLY REFER TO THE COMICS, GUYS. So Diana has no fight with an army, Cass and Bruce have all of four pages together, Terry never is in contact with Curare, Pigeon Pete isn’t really doing more than he ever has in Turtles (which is, he says his name), Riri still hasn’t met any other superheroes yet other than Pepper, and the Spider-Fam DOES go against Sandman but he does not look that way nor are they in more danger from him than, say, Peter’s sanity is in danger of losing it when they go to a Chuck-E-Cheese with an annoying band song on repeat.
So these covers are from the LYING FAKE MEDIA is what I’m saying.

Marvel’s Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows (2016- ) #5 Gerry Conway, Nate Stockman, Ryan Stegman
Tumblr media
Okay, I feel like I keep adding comics to my pull and I promise you it’s not because I like destroying my already depleted wallet, there’s just a huge variety of comics out right now and there are a lot of things that I want to support! I have maintained, for years now, that the ticket to success in comics is not to unleash a hundred comics every week that all feel the same, provide the same storylines and reactions and even art style. Why would I buy multiple comics if they all gave me the exact same reaction? What a waste of money!
It’s not a waste of my money to support a variety of stories, creative teams, and characters, though. And I firmly believe that.
So why that long introduction?
Well, to put things plainly, outside of when I supported Ultimate Spider-Man prior to Bendis pulling a Bendis and killing Rio Morales for... annoying me, basically, I have sworn off Spider comics and specifically Peter Parker Spider comics (i.e. 95% of them still) since... at least 2007, I believe. Like I got annoyed and quit cold turkey after having followed Spidey for my entire childhood. 
And maybe people can call me thickheaded and closed minded, but honestly I read Peter’s stories for Mary Jane Watson. And for family. And while this is no Spider-Girl and there’s a bit of annoyance on my part for having to lose the very character that made me a superhero fan, Annie May Parker and her family adventures of Spider-Man, Spinerret, and Spiderling have been an absolute blast and a nostalgia trip for me hardcore.
And the best part? It’s written SO WELL. I’ve always been partial to Gerry Conway’s characterizations for Peter and Mary Jane, and seeing him tackle an older couple dynamic with them as well as how they face raising a tireless child -- with Peter’s amazing sarcasm and general humor being as intact as ever -- is just beyond amazing. He’s been one of my favorite comic writers for good reason.
I love how Annie rides that line of believably annoying as a young kid and genuinely compelling with her enthusiasm for being a superhero and the child of superheroes. But right now one of the most fascinating components of this story is just where the young Osborn kid is going to take us going forward, and if his obsession with Annie is going to turn out to be the heel turn I suspect it is.
A lot exciting going on and I love it. This is just a breath of fresh air and the sort of family dynamic with superhero shenanigans fun that’s standing out in the main comics lineup at the moment. I love it. 
DC’s Batman Beyond (2016- ) #6 Dan Jurgens, Bernard Chang, Marcelo Maiolo
Tumblr media
Not going to lie, Curare is a favorite Batman Beyond villain of mine, and as tired as I am of the League of Assassins in seemingly every Bat book that I’m picking up right now, having her unique position with them come up is at least a very interesting angle to take us on. After all, she was a top assassin who failed (due to Terry) and became the top priority for the League to kill. So seeing that play out again almost distracts me from a very real, very serious problem with DC books overall.
We already erased Barbara Gordon’s disability in every canon possible. We already deaged her to be Batgirl again in all the major, main universe comics. 
Did we have to deage her in Batman Beyond to make her still “sexy” and red-headed? Really? 
I don’t consider this a problem unique to Batman Beyond, but one to DC overall and I’m really really sick of it.
I like that we’re seeing progress with Terry and Dana’s relationship, and the very real ramifications it’s going to have on his values as Batman even if partially that was due to the mandated need for everything to end with a cliffhanger. 
I really love the Terry-Bruce hug except... Bruce is weirdly unreceptive to it? I mean that’s in character but it’s also like... at least give us half a second panel where after the hug he has a little smile. LET HIM LOVE TERRY TOO C’MON. Terry and Matt are basically the only family Bruce has left in this universe so far as we know. and more importantly so far as BRUCE knows.
I enjoyed the moment with Matt and Bruce that we never got in the old canon it was really interesting to see. I’m curious about how that’s going to develop. And I love that Max is an important and accepted presence to Team Batman. I love Terry’s monologue about how he used to try his hardest to do Batman the “Bruce Way” but now he’s going to do things the “Terry Way”, that was great and really gets at the heart of what makes Batman Beyond so great.
I enjoyed this issue, even with the glaring problems with DC overall. But one thing I’d like to suggest? Please work on the coloring because it’s so dull and ... weirdly ugly looking. Part of the aesthetic appeal of Batman Beyond was how bright and vibrant everything was to contrast with the dark shadows and kind of Sci-Fi Noir that was happening with the cityscape. 
DC’s Detective Comics (2016- ) #953 James Tynion IV, Fernando Blanco, Christian Duce, Alex Sinclair
Tumblr media
Sigh a million times over as I continue my usual chorus of PACING PACING PACING, TYNION. There’s a lot to love about the current Detective Comics in my opinion, for all that it’s worth. And I love those things dearly. I love the characters, I love the focus on relationships and I like the consistent deconstruction of the very criticisms I and many other fans have held of Gotham comics for years now. I like that we’re not simply replaying the same broad strokes and going in the exact same directions with these characters as the early 2000s. These are all good things.
But you know what would be better about these things? If, 19 issues into this run, we weren’t STILL given directions and revelations with exactly zero setup. Flashbacks ca be a great and fantastic storytelling device but honestly over the years as a matter of criticism I’ve come to the advice of barring people from using them, because too often (especially in comics) we get them as lazy storytelling devices to suffice for setup that the writer refused to give us initially.
It makes following any character’s motivation from storyline to storyline -- hell, from issue to issue -- feel like a thankless task. And brushing up on character histories as I’ve recently done having reread Batwoman (2011-2015) and Batman and Robin Eternal just proves to irritate more. 
There’s still good things and my frustration should not overshadow that. I honestly enjoy the new direction which Tynion is taking Cass’ character even if I think the origin and setup has been botched. I like the relationships of the Team in general and the fact that as they’ve been whittled down over the last few arcs, those gaps feel more and more felt, honestly. I like the potential of Shiva and Ra’s setup here. And I like that Kate and Bruce are treated with equal importance and prominence in meeting with Jim and Renee.
All those things are probably stuff I should focus for and save my bigger criticisms for the completion of this arc. But man, MAN am I tired of the sloppy pacing and Tynion trying to make up for it with cheap flashbacks when he has had nineteen issues to set up, even in the background, that Cass was dreaming and fantaising about a mother before now. 
At the very least, we can hope for Cass to be adopted at the end of this storyline or to at least change her codename. If neither happens I am going to scream foul because otherwise what was the point of those flashbacks and of the conversation with Bruce?
Marvel’s Invincible Iron Man (2016- ) #5 Brian Michael Bendis, Stefano Caselli, Marte Garcia
Tumblr media
How inspired that I mentioned off handedly about my strained relationship with Bendis only to get to a comic currently by him that I’m REALLY enjoying with a FULL amount of apprehension. 
The current cast of Invincible outside of Tony’s AI itself is a full roster of powerful women with varied backgrounds, motivations, and characterizations that are fascinating and fitting together so well already. There’s great art, I adore Riri with everything in me and root for her success fully -- even when it’s in the face of familiar female heroes of Marvel Universe who have a built-in empathy. Her taking down Sharon and SHIELD’s dubious reputation in one go is a fantastic and powerful moment, honestly.
But as with Bendis, there’s always going to be like... this need to undo good will. I’m not sure how else to describe it. He brings up good and valid criticisms that socially aware fans have of SHIELD and its operations in the universe through Riri, who is a character built to speak to the demographic of this generation. Then he has Sharon -- a character that in-built empathy I mentioned -- make a comment that if you’re not with SHIELD then you’re a HYDRA SYMPATHIZER. And if you’re a comic fan that somehow lives under a rock, let me clarify: for all intents and purposes HYDRA ARE NAZIS. And this is being said to a young, female, black superhero in a day and age where we literally had a gathering of Nazis in Washington, D.C. hailing President Trump who is a proven racist and appoints racists and Nazi sympathizers. 
People are going to complain to me, like they always do when I make these points, that “obviously that’s not the intent” and “he meant for this to speak to anti-Nazi readers” by putting Riri in this position. But therein is the problem of Bendis. If this is a message he intends, he does it sloppily enough  or insincere enough that it’s not even a major point in the conversation he wrote. 
So I’m going to do what I always end up doing. Supporting a character and concept I love, waiting for someone other than Bendis to take on the book, as unlikely as that probably is at this point. Gaaahhhhhhh. But I waited years for Miles so I’ll probably do the same for Riri because she has quickly been adopted as one of my Marvel daughters. 
IDW’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2011- ) #68 Kevin Eastman, Tom Waltz, Mateus Santioiouco, Ronda Pattison
Tumblr media
Ninja Turtles continues to be so good it defies explanation for those who are not reading it for themselves. And I can say that in an issue that opens up with a poop joke and reminding us all that Raphael’s heart may belong to Alopex but he is bonded forever to a cute, seemingly never aging pink dinosaur that acts as the family dog and is named Pepperoni. 
Ninja Turtles is fantastic. And there’s just so many ways a person can say that before wearing out the specialness that this feat really touches on which is that it never fails -- in over 68 issues now -- to make a near perfect balancing act of action, humor, character arcs, and a continuously building yet self-contained world building that now includes not only the Mutanimals but everyone’s favorite hatable government agent, Agent Bishop. 
Teaming up with Old Hobb now, the Turtles are going to save the Mutanimals while the Mutanimals do what they can in their impossible situation to save themselves. There’s so much horror in what’s happening to Slash and the gang, and it’s pulled off without being either heavy handed or utterly offset by the consistent humor the series manages. 
And oh my gosh the art. I adore this art so much, I love how distinctive all the characters look while also managing so many details.
It’s a great read, and an ongoing that knows how to never stop providing the hits. 
DC’s Wonder Woman (2016- ) #19 Greg Rucka, Liam Sharp, Laura Martin
Tumblr media
I have not been a big fan of the “B” story for Greg Rucka’s Wonder Woman run, but I’m sort of appreciative of the dichotomy between the “A” and “B” stories. There’s a youthful innocence and brightness to Diana’s younger adventures as they are being retold by Rucka that just makes them that much more enjoyable compared to the present timeline -- a darker, grittier world where lies and misconceptions of characters, friends, histories, and so on have won. 
There’s a spectrum to comics that people don’t seem to appreciate nearly enough -- a medium where Princeless and Scooby-Doo Team Up can welcome youthful readers and graduate them to Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur before they’re ready for the more complicated nuances of multiarc’d dark and gritty “realism” -- there’ room for all of this, and each piece of that spectrum can reflect on, graduate to, or full on subvert the other. Co-existance is possible because the spectrum of potential readers and their tastes is just as possible. 
Rucka’s A story is a hopeful and loving look at the superhero genre through a youthful, more truthful look at Diana and her history. In comparison, the B story is a dark subversion of what Wonder Woman is continuously pushed to be in various media and by writers who openly dislike her origins or significance. It’s a takedown, an intentional comparison. One where, starting with today’s issue, we’re finally getting a peak at where the stories will align and how “Lies” will be overcome by the “Truth” soon enough. 
I just wish it was. Y’know. A little sooner, because I have a whole new appreciation for the B story in context but man I’m still not won over by its text. 
This was a super variable week and pretty much every issue I read is filling a niche of mine when it comes to what I enjoy reading, but I once more have to really give it up to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles because it’s simply one of the best comics around, has a perfect balance of all these wildly different elements, and it’s super locked down into a quickly developing and engaging story arc.

Villains: Alice Sheree (1.5, LWT, 1972)
"Did he ever say anything about marriage?"
"I don't believe anything he says."
"But there's no idea of waiting for him? For his release?"
"I... don't want to see him again. How could I?"
#Villains#classic tv#LWT#1972#Jim Goddard#Keith Dewhurst#Sharon Duce#Andrew Brown#Patrick Durkin#Stephanie Bidmead#Clive Swift#Ray Smith#Ken Wynne#Margaret Ward#Jonathan Adams#Frederick Peisley#Brinsley Forde#Lisa Proud#Paul Alexander#Ohhh this is a bleak one. Perhaps the saddest episode yet. Once again we're diverted from the core gang to focus on one of the number#Of people involved on the periphery. This time it's poor Alice who's only real crime is being the girlfriend of gang member Big Mike (and#Also holding onto some of his stolen cash for him; it's left deliberately unclear whether Alice knew she had stolen money in her possession#But it seems equally likely that she didn't much care either way). Unlike the other characters that have featured Alice has already served#Her time; the core gang have escaped after a year inside but Alice served 12 months and has been released the normal way. This leads us to#An examination of the aftermath of prison time and the care (or lack thereof) afforded to former prisoners. Trapped with no real prospects#And staying with parents who clearly resent her (Swift and Bidmead in toe curling performances as 2 of the most unlikeable ppl featured in#The series so far (Swift at any rate)) it seems inevitable that Alice will drift back towards Big Mike now that he is once again at liberty#What follows is a tragic tale of one vulnerable woman who is buffeted from situation outside her control to situation outside her control.#Duce is heartbreaking as Alice particularly in the final scenes; nice to see Durkin in a substantial role too. He was a pretty familiar#Presence on TV in the 70s but often in background roles as heavies or henchmen. As for Ray Smith.. Truly horrible here as a nasty villain

The guidelines recommend use of opioids for treatment of both function and pain impaired by subacute or chronic severe pain when other treatments for functional restorative pain therapy have been attempted without adequate effect. Ongoing usage of opioid treatment beyond a trial period is dependent on its efficacy during the trial. Further, the guidelines...[LexisNexis Commentary: The IMR reviewer here provided a very detailed recitation of the guidelines for prescribing opioids and emphasized that the IMR decision addressed the medical necessity of opioids as they have been prescribed to this injured worker . This illustrates that the MTUS guidelines should not be applied mechanically but rather must be applied based on the needs of the particular patient. In this case, applicant’s quality of life would have been significantly diminished if the opioid prescription were denied.] Blog Post: California Workers' Comp Case Roundup (4/29/2019) published first on http://www.lexisnexis.com/legalnewsroom/workers-compensation/rss.aspx

Sharon Stone revine în Mosaic la HBO și pe HBO GO
Trebuie să recunosc că în ultima perioadă m-a prins destul de serios vizionarea de filme pe HBO GO, deși sunt greu de prins în fața televizorului sunt câteva filme și seriale care m-au prins. Sunt curios de noua miniserie (originală HBO) Mosaic în care joacă Sharon Srone, miniseria fiind regizată și produsă de Steven Soderbergh care vă duce cu gândul la titluri precum Ocean’s Twelve, Ocean’s…
