Raise your chil­dren with a love of sci­ence, and there’s a decent chance they’ll grow up want­i­ng to be like Richard Feyn­man, Marie Curie, Albert Ein­stein, or any num­ber of oth­er famous sci­en­tists from his­to­ry. Luck­i­ly for them, they won’t yet have learned that the pur­suit of such a career will almost cer­tain­ly entail grind­ing out a PhD the­sis. But it’s also lucky for you that they con­se­quent­ly won’t ask you to explain the sub­jects of their idols’ the­ses.

Bound, the thriller drama by Isaac Hirotsu Woofter, is an independent movie that doesn’t look like an independent movie. From the score to the cinematography, everything in Woofter’s creation resembles the influences he has gathered in order to accomplish a well-rounded movie. Yes, it does comply with the rules of indie cinema, but the director doesn’t make it apparent. It is worth mentioning because Bound could have been an entirely different film if it had focused exclusively on its story, and not in the execution of the idea. The film follows Bella, a young woman living with her mother Yeva…

For this episode, Deke invited me to join him as we decided to focus on a Top 10 ranking of what some of our favourite albums would be. I had a couple of surprises with his picks which was really cool according to Deke (a couple weren’t really rock) whereas Deke feels no one will be surprised by his picks. The only rule was that they had to be albums in our collections. Who knows maybe down the road we’ll do another episode. (as there are many fantastic debut records still out there) Thanks for watching…and make sure to Subscribe to Distortion Den…

The latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics confirm that the Federal Reserve has made a lot of progress on inflation. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) grew 2.3 percent over the past year.

Everton manager Sean Dyche, speaking to Sky Sports: “Definitely a game of two halves. We were very strong first half, created two or three golden chances, deserved to be up at the half and dealt with a lot of their threat well.”Then second half, they’re a good side, they came out at us, we didn’t deal with it as well and gave the ball away far too many times. But the resilience of the side is growing, the mentality is growing and sometimes you have to grind it out against a team that is unbeaten in 12.”They’re no mugs in…
