Bond…James Bond Is Back In ‘SPECTRE’
Watch the new trailer for SPECTRE. A cryptic message from the past sends James Bond on a rogue mission to Mexico City and eventually Rome, where he meets Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci), the beautiful and forbidden widow of an infamous criminal. Bond infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the sinister organisation known as SPECTRE.
Meanwhile back in London, Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott), the new head of the Centre for National Security, questions Bond’s actions and challenges the relevance of MI6, led by M (Ralph Fiennes). Bond covertly enlists Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) to help him seek out Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux), the daughter of his old nemesis Mr White (Jesper Christensen), who may hold the clue to untangling the web of SPECTRE. As the daughter of an assassin, she understands Bond in a way most others cannot.
As Bond ventures towards the heart of SPECTRE, he learns of a chilling connection between himself and the enemy he seeks, played by Christoph Waltz.
Released in the UK on October 26, and in the US on November 6, 2015.
Canadian Wins Lottery And Gets Hit By Lightning Strike. The Odds? 1 in 2.6 Trillion
Lucky would be an understatement to describe one man in Canada.
Peter McCathie survived being hit by lightning when he was a teenager and now he’s won the lottery — both events combined come to about a 1 in 2.6 trillion chance.
McCathie is splitting the $1 million Lotto 6/49 prize with co-worker Diana Miller, the Atlantic Lottery told ABC News today.
He’s getting an additional $10,000 since he owns the Amherst Shore Country Store in Amherst Shore, Nova Scotia, where the duo bought the $3 ticket.
McCathie’s first experience of defying odds — a nearly one in one million chance — happened when he was 14 years old and wading through shallow waters.
“I was trying to lock the boat up, it was a very sunny day, there was one big, white cloud in the sky and the lightning bolt came through the trees and hit me,” McCathie told CTV.
McCathie survived the lightning strike and now years later, he told CTV he plans to use his unexpected winnings to take his wife of 30 years on a second honeymoon.

That Time Bernie Sanders Recorded a Folk Music Album in the 80s
It would appear that politics is not Senator and presidential candidate Bernie Sander’s (D-VT) only passion. Apparently, the self-described socialist was also, at one point, an aspiring folk singer.
In fact, he loved folk music so much that, in 1987, he recorded his very own folk album. The six track album entitled “We Shall Overcome” was recorded in-studio with the help of 30 other Vermont folk singers.
Side one includes five traditional folk standards with a “conversation” with Sanders on the second side.
According to to one Vermont political blog, the album was recorded while Sanders was serving as the mayor of Burlington.

The Juno Award-winning, Polaris Music Prize-nominated group will embark on a special tour this August, performing at First Nations reserves (details below).
The tour is made possible with the help of the Ontario Arts Council. The goal is to present top quality shows directly on reserve, by partnering with communities and bringing a mobile stage and lighting on site. The band will perform a show and workshop in most of the communities. Both shows and workshops will be free for the audience and aimed at youth.
Tribe dropped their new EP, Suplex on May 19th (via Pirates Blend in Canada, and internationally on the band’s own brand new label, Radicalized Records). The four-song EP features the group’s signature unique style of traditional Pow Wow music mixed with club sound.

What Jazz Legend Bill Evans Can Teach You About Being Creative In Problem-Solving
In 1966, legendary jazz pianist Bill Evans sat down with his composer brother, Harry Evans and filmmaker William Meier for a conversation worth sharing later released as Universal Mind of Bill Evans: The Creative Process and Self-Teaching.
The whole process of learning the facility of being able to play jazz is to take these problems from the outer level in, one by one, and to stay with it at a very intense, conscious-concentration level until that process becomes secondary and subconscious. Now, when that becomes subconscious, then you can begin concentrating on that next problem, which will allow you to do a little bit more.
I don’t consider myself as talented as many people but in some ways that was an advantage because I didn’t have a great facility immediately so I had to be more analytical and in a way — that forced me to build something.
Most people just don’t realize the immensity of the problem and, either because they can’t conquer it immediately, think that they haven’t got the ability, or they’re so impatient to conquer it that they never do see it through. If you do understand the problem then you can enjoy your whole trip through.
People tend to approximate the product rather than attacking it in a realistic, true way at any elementary level — regardless of how elementary — but it must be entirely true and entirely real and entirely accurate. They would rather approximate the entire problem than to take a small part of it and be real and true about it. To approximate the whole thing in a vague way gives you a feeling that you’ve more or less touched the thing, but in this way you just lead yourself toward confusion and ultimately you’re going to get so confused that you’ll never find your way out.
It is true of any subject that the person that succeeds in anything has the realistic viewpoint at the beginning and [knows] that the problem is large and that he has to take it a step at a time and that he has to enjoy the step-by-step learning procedure. They’re trying to do a thing in a way that is so general [that] they can’t possibly build on that. If they build on that, they’re building on top of confusion and vagueness and they can’t possibly progress. If you try to approximate something that is very advanced and don’t know what you’re doing, you can’t advance.
