A Eulogy for Daniel Craig's 007, the Best Bond Ever How Spectre (likely) ends a franchise run that defined a generation. By Stephen Marche Daniel Craig as James Bond DanJaq/Eon Productions/Kobal Collection Like many enduring creations of collective consciousness—Stone Age cave paintings or medieval cathedrals or the iPhone—the character of James Bond is the work of lots of hands. Under the guidance of nearly a hundred writers and directors and half a dozen actors of all appearances and levels of skill, Bond has taken 50 years to develop and lives as an amalgam of memory as much as a figure onscreen. Seeing him in Spectre (out November 6) is like having a ...

La Rochefoucauld said that it is easier to give good advice than to take it, to which he might have added that it is also easier to agree with good advice than to act on it. Enacting wisdom is a little like speaking a foreign language that is pronounced perfectly in the head but comes out of the mouth with a strong accent. If good advice were easy to take, the world would long ago have been perfect. Last week I was writing a chapter of a book on medicine and poetry in which I quoted Doctor Johnson to the effect that it is better to be sometimes deceived than never to trust. I was writing about Mark Akenside, an eminent 18th-century doctor whose major published work on medicine was on ...

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- On Halloween, neighborhoods all over the United States transform into ghoulish wonderlands of candy and costumes, but according to a Pew Research Center survey, many in those neighborhoods report spooky experiences with those from beyond the grave. The survey, published in late 2009, reveals 18 percent of Americans say they have come nearly face-to-face with a ghost. The number of those who believe they have been in the presence of an apparition doubled since a similar poll 13 years prior. In 1996, only 9 percent of Americans said they had seen a ghost. Of just over 2,000 sample survey participants, 29 percent said they have at least been in touch with the ...

Unlike men, every woman has her own particular way of communicating, so trying to establish blanket interpretations of the female subtext is an exercise in futility. But what the hell. Let’s go for it, anyway.Many relationship missteps men make have to do with not knowing when to take a statement or question from their significant others at face value, and when to dig around for a deeper meaning. Often, we’ll just go by the words themselves, because it usually seems easier. However, this can have disastrous long-term consequences. We’re expected to read between the lines.A good rule of thumb is to always have a couple of platonic female friends on hand to serve as certified ...

Guardian... A deer apparently hit by a car brought itself to a New York hospital and walked into the emergency room. Hospital officials say the deer walked through the automatic doors at the entrance to Strong Memorial hospital’s emergency room late on Monday afternoon in Rochester.

The deer was struck by a vehicle before it entered the hospital, said Lori Barrette, a hospital spokesperson. It arrived with at least one broken leg. “This was a first-time incident,” Barrette wrote in an email to the Guardian. Wounded deer attacks hunter after being shot with arrow The Monroe ...

(Image via AP Photo/Gerald Herbert) Sorry sir, you’re not the father of your newborn child—your unborn brother is. So a 34-year-old man was told in the only known case of a paternity test being tricked by a so-called “human chimera,” the Independent reports.

Concerned, the husband took an at-home paternity test and learned that his DNA ...

Want... Jiangxi police have cracked an appalling human trafficking case in which a criminal gang bought mentally challenged women from their families, promising to marry them off to a better life but instead holding them in a pigsty in northern China, where they were sold for between 50,000-100,000 yuan (US$7,885-US$15,800) to older men. The case can be attributed to the mindsets of the womens' families. They were generally indifferent about the fate of their daughters and considered mentally disabled girls to be a burden, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency. Many of the women were also unable to protect themselves and were particularly vulnerable, the report added. Ten ...

The Best Way to Defeat Russian Airstrikes: Blow 'Em Up With... Condoms?

Sputnik... Left with little recourse in the face of relentless Russian airstrikes, the self-proclaimed Islamic State terrorist group has apparently resorted to a fairly unique defensive strategy. According a video that surfaced online on Wednesday, the group has begun launching homemade condom bombs, hoping they’ll somehow veer into a Russian bomber. While Sputnik cannot independently verify the authenticity of the video, it appears to show IS militants creating aerial mines out of condoms, which are then released into the skies over Idlib. The entire arts-and-crafts project is shown, scored to look like some kind of bizarre extremist music video. In a desperate move, the ...

Inexplicable Christopher Hiscock, 33, got only a year's probation after his guilty plea for trespassing on a ranch in Kamloops, British Columbia, in September -- because it was a trespass with panache. Since no one had been home, Hiscock fed the cats, prepared a meal, shaved and showered, took meat out of the freezer to thaw, made some coffee, started a fire in the fireplace, did some laundry, put out hay for the horses, and even wrote some touchingly personal notes in the resident's diary ("Today was my first full day at the ranch." "I have to remind myself to just relax and take my time.") In court, he apologized. "I made a lot of mistakes." ...

WCT... Since the establishment earlier this year of Woyoufan, an online platform that serves home-cooked meals, it has hosted 1,000 dinners for more than 8,000 customers, with a repurchase rate as high as 40%. "When people sit down to share gourmet food, there are no strangers," says the platform's founder Feng Zheng, 2 The hosts of the dinners do not cook for their families or friends but for strangers who have already paid for the food. When the diners — previously unknown to each other — arrive at the host's venue, the meal starts with a brief self-introduction from each diner before the party sits down to eat. The platform was inspired by Feng's ...

I wonder whether Americans realize just how closely the United States is coming to resemble a country of the Third World, not just in its corruption and attributes of a police state, but in the incompetence of governmental bureaucracies. Federal agencies don’t work. They are rotted by affirmative action. The bureaucrats are inattentive, unaccountable, anonymous, can’t be fired, and get paid whether they do their jobs or not. Congress is not interested. A few examples, from my experience or that of people I know, mostly involving veterans, but typical. Click for Full Text!
