He informs the scientist that he hopes the the being is "friendly", stating his intent to destroy the being with a card-activated destruction system inside the machine if he is not. The entire process is explained by the lead scientist to a skeptical General Munro, who is less than enthusiastic about the being's revival. Almost as if this being was … engineered." He continues to describe the cells as being "perfect."īeing that a few cells were still viable in the arm, the lead scientist begins reconstructing the being using the isolated DNA and a complex machine that puts the being together part by part, beginning with the skeleton, followed by the muscles and organs, and finally exposing the body to slightly greasy solar atoms (ultraviolet radiation), forcing the body to take measures to protect itself from UV damage by growing skin and hair. The DNA, far superior to human DNA which contains 40 "memo groups", contains over 200,000 "memo groups." The scientist describes the DNA of the being as being "tightly packed, with infinite genetic knowledge. Discovered by Earth scientists, the severed forearm is transported to a laboratory in New York and analyzed, and its DNA isolated and studied. The Mondoshawans and their ship are destroyed, leaving nothing but a mangled right forearm from the sleeping Supreme Being in the wreckage.

They leave the priest with a single bronzed key, which is to be used to open the secret room in the temple for arrangement of the weapon. Knowing that the weapon was designed to defeat a dark entity known as Evil every 5,000 years, the aliens - the Mondoshawan - promise the temple's current human priest that they would return the weapon's components to Earth before Evil arrived three centuries later.

EST Tuesdays and Fridays.īelow are some frequently asked questions about Mega Millions, Powerball and lottery odds. ![]() ![]() Mega Millions drawings are held at 11 p.m. 3, and ticket sales have increased with the rising jackpot. The drawing hasn’t seen a multimillion-dollar winner since Feb. What were the numbers? This combination of 6 numbers won $185.3 million on Valentine's Day 2022 What we know about big winners: Lotto jackpots have surpassed $1 billion six times. Here's a snapshot of recent drawings and how much the jackpot has climbed (in so short a time): Winning numbers for Tuesday, April 11: 31-35-53-54-55, and the Mega Ball was 24. The 10th largest jackpot was $522 million in June 2019. The new jackpot in inching closer to joining the top 10 biggest Mega Millions jackpots. The jackpot has now grown to $476 million, with a cash option of $256 million. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed without permission.The estimated jackpot for Tuesday's drawing was $441 million, with a cash option of $238.8 million. There’s no telling, but keep in mind that the two largest jackpots ever each exceeded $1.5 billion, so it could be a while before some lucky player is bathing in riches.Ĭopyright 2021 The Associated Press. But the smaller prizes also reflect slower sales during the coronavirus pandemic, which led lottery officials to reduce the size of initial jackpots and allow them to grow more slowly, depending on sales. Some of that is chance, as players won prizes before they could reach the stratosphere. It's been nearly two years since lottery jackpots grew so large. It absolutely is, but you’ll take home even less because the federal government will also be a winner, typically siphoning off 37% in taxes. ![]() That means if one person wins the estimated $750 million Mega Millions jackpot, they would get a pre-tax lump-sum payment of about $550 million, which is around 25% less than the annuity amount. Of course, winners rarely go that route, instead opting for a lump-sum payment figuring they can better invest it themselves. First, those jackpots promoted by the lotteries are for winners who take the annuity option, which is paid out over 30 years. Pretty rich, but maybe less than you think. WHEN I BEAT THE ODDS, HOW RICH WILL I BE? As more people play, the odds also rise that more than one person will draw the winning numbers, which would mean sharing the jackpot. Keep in mind, though, that whether you spend $2 or $200 on tickets, you should plan on losing. The odds stay the same for any single combination purchased, but a person’s odds of winning improve ever so slightly with every different combination they play. It's a big country, and when millions and millions of people play the lottery, someone eventually wins. Despite the infinitesimally small odds, one day soon some guy in Florida or woman in Arizona or who knows where will stand before cameras with a dazed smile, holding up a giant check with a bunch of zeros. It’s safe to say it’s working, as their combined jackpots reached an estimated $1.39 billion on Thursday.Ĭan't envision your odds of winning? Here's how Andrew Swift, a mathematics professor at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, described it: The odds of winning Powerball are a little worse than flipping a coin and getting heads 28 straight times. With the widest reach of any lotteries in the U.S., Powerball and Mega Millions are designed to produce eyepopping jackpots that generate huge sales. ![]() Mal reignites the Ember and defeats Audrey, who falls under a deep sleep. It is later revealed that Hades is actually Mal's estranged father which is why she goes to his underground lair to get his ember and was able to convince him when others would not. Hades is later to be seen asleep in the chair with his shades covering his eyes when Mal and Celia hear him snoring, Celia gets annoyed with his record player so Celia turns it off, Hades woke up at the moment to catch Celia. Mal turns into a dragon and battles him, but with his Ember, he starts to drain Mal of her magic before being forced back inside. In Descendants 3, Mal and the VKs try to leave the Isle with the new VKs, but Hades tries to escape as the barrier is closing. In Pair of Sneakers, when Mal and Freddie sneak into the Voodoo Shop to find Mal's crystal, Freddie finds a Hades statue - the animated cartoon Hades - which terrifies her. Knowing that he can't stop Hercules in his path, Hades begs the hero to try and ease things with him and the other gods, but Hercules angrily punches Hades into the River Styx, where he is swarmed by unidentified souls and dragged to the depths where he is trapped. Hercules emerges from the pit, alive and immortal with Megara's soul in his arms, much to Hades' anger. It almost kills him, when his full cosmic Godhood is restored by his being willing to risk his own life to save the woman he loves. He swims into the River Styx to retrieve her soul. Hercules travels to the Underworld to rescue her soul and offers himself to Hades in exchange for Megara's freedom. Hades loses his temper, but he taunts Hercules that he at least has a parting gift while Hercules was fighting the Titans, Megara died from her injuries. Hercules is thus given his Godly powers back and returns to Mount Olympus where he easily takes down the Titans and frees the gods. However, Megara is grievously injured saving Hercules from a falling pillar, negating Hades' deal that Meg would not be hurt. Hades then released the Titans, who defeat and imprison the gods, and sends the Cyclops to kill the weakened and discouraged Hercules to keep him from getting in the way, but Hercules defeats the monsters using his wits. Hades than reveals that Megara was working for him the whole time, crushing Hercule's will to fight. Herc agrees, as long as Meg will be safe from any harm. When he finds out that Hercules has strongly fallen romantically in love with Megara, he uses this to his advantage and makes a deal with Hercules: Herc must give up his-God like superhuman strength for the next twenty-four hours (secretly the same twenty-four hours he will use to Olympus) in exchange for Meg's freedom. After discovering that Hercules is still alive, Hades sends numerous grotesque beasts to finish Hercules off, only for Hercules to slay everyone with ease. Meg remains trapped as a slave to Hades, and he uses her beauty, charm, and intelligence as an advantage to persuade monsters to join his army. He does, but Meg's lover ungratefully dumps her for another girl shortly afterward. Later, a young woman named Megara sells her soul to Hades, so that he will return her lover's soul. Pain and, Panic, however, tells Hades that Hercules is dead, hoping that he will not find out. Thus, Hercules, while mortal, retains his god-like strength and spends his life on Earth. Thus, Hercules, while mortal, retains the last drop is lit. Hercules needs to drink every last drop for it to work, but the last drop is lost. Hades sends his demons, Pain, and Panic, to kidnap baby Hercules and give him a potion that would render him mortal, and kill him. Upon visiting the Fates, he learns that he could succeed by releasing the Titans in eighteen years, but if Zeus's son, Hercules, is to fight Hades, he will fail. Hades seeks to overthrow Zeus and rule Mount Olympus- in Ancient Greece- the Earth and the rest of creation for himself. Dominos 7021a Constitution Blvd Fort Myers, FL 33967 Get Directions.

Lines from the chorus, “Where is your heart?/Cause I don’t really feel you” and “Is it so hard/To give me what I need/I want your heart to bleed/And that’s all I’m asking for” as well as other parts in the song are ones I can personally relate to, so maybe that’s why I like this song so much. I think my favorite thing about this song is the honesty in the lyrics. It’s the only ballad on the album, but it still comes off as being a lot more mature than anything on Clarkson’s debut. Where Is Your Heart is the closest to anything you’ll find on Thankful. The subject matter reminds me a bit of Christina Aguilera’s song, “Walk Away”, but this track has a bit more edge to it. Some of my favorites are in the chorus (“It’s like I can’t breathe/Without you interrupting me”) and during the bridge (“I’m hooked on you/I need a fix/I can’t take it/Just one more hit/I promise I can deal with it”). I LOVE Addicted. The song is very slow, and almost depressing, but it works well. The lyrics are vulnerable and honest, for example: “Because of you/I’m ashamed of my life/Because it’s empty/Because of you/I am afraid”. Kelly sings about a negative relationship with someone (I’ve heard it’s about her parents), and the impact they’ve had on her life. This could be due to the fact that one of their members, Ben Moody, co-wrote and produced this track. The soft, piano based verses sound close to “My Immortal”, andthe chorus jumps up in tempo…just like most of Evanescense’s songs. Because Of You reminds me (as well as several other reviewers) of something by Evanescence. Which is a bit unfortunate ’cause I’m not a big Lavinge fan, so I usually skip this song. The heartbroken lyrics, the guitar-based chorus, the agony-ridden vocals…the whole thing reminds me of her. I’m pretty sure if I had just listened to this for the first time, not knowing it was Kelly, I’d say it’s a song by Lavinge. Clarksonsort of sounds like her, and the whole way the song is composed is just Avril Lavinge. Most reviews of this album have several Avril Lavinge comparisons in them, and Behind These Hazel Eyes is definitelyAvril. ![]() This song has so much energy in it…it’s a great song to listen to when you’re in the mood to jump around and dance. By the chorus, the tempo picks up more, and Kelly is practically screaming. I really like Since U Been Gone. It starts off wonderfully, with Kelly singing “Here’s the thing, we started off friends,” and then the beat kicks in. It’s fairly stereotypical pop-fluff, but a decent enough song, all the same. Anyway, this is a pop song about going after your dreams. Which makes me wonder why it’s the tile track, because this song does not encompass the theme of the album at all. This is pretty much the only “light” or “fluffy” song on the album. The album begins with title track, Breakaway. The result is a mature album, full of songs co-written by Clarkson, and Evanescence-sounding vocals a complete departure from the Kelly Clarkson we used to relate with American Idol. I suppose Clarkson realized the same thing about her career, and when it was time to record material for her sophomore album, Breakaway, she figured she’d get as far away from American Idol and anything even remotely related to it as she could. And it’s not really a good thing anymore. Kelly Clarkson and American Idol are synonymous. You know, the song she sang on American Idol. I think of her debut album, Thankful, which had the song “A Moment Like This” on it. I think of her movie (that I liked, even though it flopped), From Justin To Kelly: The Tale of Two American Idols. Comes with a Gotta Have Rock & Roll Certificate of Authenticity.When I think of Kelly Clarkson, I think of American Idol.

(Keep reading)Įverything Everywhere All at Once is a work of alternate universe genius. As it turns out, these conflicts reflect a much larger and graver one elsewhere in the multiverse, where another version of Joy morphed into a bloodthirsty, omnipotent being after her universe’s Evelyn pushed her beyond her limits. The film takes place over the course of a single day, during which Evelyn’s struggling laundromat is audited by the IRS, her husband tries to serve her divorce papers, and her estranged father visits from Hong Kong, to whom Joy tries to come out as queer. It’s also a question posed by Evelyn’s father, Gong Gong (James Hong), who comes to a bleaker conclusion. This is an unspoken question that Evelyn Wang (Michelle Yeoh) wonders of her adult daughter, Joy (Stephanie Hsu), in the Daniels’ Oscar-nominated Everything Everywhere All at Once. ![]() When familial familiarity is supplanted by incomprehensible shifts, sometimes an unthinkable question is asked: is this stranger with my child’s face someone I can still love?

Untreated cellulitis can spread into the bloodstream and trigger sepsis - a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when the body's response to an infection damages its own tissues. Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to keep on hand so that you can start taking them immediately. Affected skin appears swollen and red and is typically painful and warm to the touch. ![]() The trapped fluid provides fertile ground for germs, and the smallest injury to the arm or leg can be an entry point for infection. Risk factorsįactors that may increase the risk of developing lymphedema include: Less commonly, lymphedema results from inherited conditions in which the lymphatic system doesn't develop properly. In developing countries in the tropics, the most common cause of lymphedema is infection with threadlike worms that clog the lymph nodes. However, this doesn't always result in lymphedema. In cancer surgery, lymph nodes are often removed to see if the disease has spread. Radiation can cause scarring and inflammation of lymph nodes or lymph vessels. For instance, a tumor growing near a lymph node or lymph vessel could enlarge enough to block the flow of the lymph fluid. If cancer cells block lymph vessels, lymphedema may result. ![]() The most common causes of lymphedema include: Lymphedema occurs when the lymph vessels are not able to adequately drain lymph fluid, usually from an arm or leg. The lymph fluid is pushed through the lymph vessels by muscle contractions as you move through the tasks of your day and small pumps in the wall of the lymph vessels. Lymph nodes act as filters and contain cells that fight infection and cancer. The lymphatic system is a network of vessels that carry protein-rich lymph fluid throughout the body. |
