Sisu - a review!
Sisu. Noun; White knuckled grit and determination!
I saw a trailer many months ago for a Finnish movie, where one man absolutely eviscerates a Nazi, but I never got to see it in the cinema.
Today, I bought the movie through Blockbuster, and gave it a look. What a movie!
The story of the movie is very simple: During the last desperate days of World War II, a solitary prospector, played by Jorma Tommila, crosses paths with Nazis on a scorched-earth retreat in northern Finland. When the Nazis steal his gold, they quickly discover that they have just tangled with no ordinary miner. While there is no direct translation for the Finnish word "sisu", this legendary ex-commando will embody what sisu means: a white-knuckled form of courage and unimaginable determination in the face of overwhelming odds. No matter what the Nazis throw at him, the one-man death squad will go to outrageous lengths to get his gold back - even if it means killing every last Nazi in his path
The many ways he kills said Nazis are VERY creative. We're talking landmines to the head, stabbings, shootings and various other means of disposal.
Now, with a description like that, you'd probably guessed by now, that it's a pretty violent movie. Think Quentin Tarantino levels of violence, and you get the idea.
Lots of blood, but no guts. Well.. Some people meet their end at the bottom of a tank track, so some guts are on display, however they are very well camouflaged because the soldiers wear black clothes. A very clever way for the filmmaker to add graphic details without actually showing them.
As a movie, Sisu is VERY well shot. One shot in particular left me stunned. The acting is also pretty good, but the villain is a bit.. Well, wooden. But I suppose that nobody wants to play a truly brutal Nazi SS officer on movie.. Well, apart from Pilou Asbæk in Overlord. My lord, that was grim!
If you are looking for an extremely violent, but also decently funny movie, give Sisu a view. It's about two hours long, but it doesn't feel like it.
10/10 - highly recommended!

Imran Khan warns that Pakistan’s election could be a farce
His party is being unfairly muzzled, the former prime minister writes from prison

Today pakistan is being ruled by caretaker governments at both the federal level and provincial level. These administrations are constitutionally illegal because elections were not held within 90 days of parliamentary assemblies being dissolved.
The public is hearing that elections will supposedly be held on February 8th. But having been denied the same in two provinces, Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, over the past year—despite a Supreme Court order last March that those votes should be held within three months—they are right to be sceptical about whether the national vote will take place.
The country’s election commission has been tainted by its bizarre actions. Not only has it defied the top court but it has also rejected my Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (pti) party’s nominations for first-choice candidates, hindered the party’s internal elections and launched contempt cases against me and other pti leaders for simply criticising the commission.
Whether elections happen or not, the manner in which I and my party have been targeted since a farcical vote of no confidence in April 2022 has made one thing clear: the establishment—the army, security agencies and the civil bureaucracy—is not prepared to provide any playing field at all, let alone a level one, for pti.
It was, after all, the establishment that engineered our removal from government under pressure from America, which was becoming agitated with my push for an independent foreign policy and my refusal to provide bases for its armed forces. I was categorical that we would be a friend to all but would not be anyone’s proxy for wars. I did not come to this view lightly. It was shaped by the huge losses Pakistan had incurred collaborating with America’s “war on terror”, not least the 80,000 Pakistani lives lost.
In March 2022 an official from America’s State Department met Pakistan’s then ambassador in Washington, dc. After that meeting the ambassador sent a cipher message to my government. I later saw the message, via the then foreign minister, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, and it was subsequently read out in cabinet.
In view of what the cipher message said, I believe that the American official’s message was to the effect of: pull the plug on Imran Khan’s prime ministership through a vote of no confidence, or else. Within weeks our government was toppled and I discovered that Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, General Qamar Javed Bajwa, had, through the security agencies, been working on our allies and parliamentary backbenchers for several months to move against us.

Tease
Kim who enjoyed teasing her classmate, Jim. Kim thought it was funny to make fun of Jim's appearance, his interests, and his hobbies. She would often make snide comments and laugh at him in front of their friends.
Jim tried to ignore Kim's teasing and be the bigger person, but it was starting to take a toll on him. He felt hurt and embarrassed, and he didn't understand why Kim treated him this way. He was a kind and thoughtful person who never hurt anyone, but Kim seemed to enjoy making him feel small.
One day, Jim decided enough was enough. He confronted Kim and told her how her teasing was affecting him. Kim was taken aback by Jim's honesty and realized that she had been hurting someone she considered a friend. She apologized to Jim and promised to be more thoughtful in the future.
From that day on, Kim made a conscious effort to be kinder to Jim. She no longer teased him and instead, she tried to get to know him better and appreciate his unique qualities. Over time, Kim and Jim became good friends, and they enjoyed each other's company.
In the end, Kim learned that treating others with kindness and respect is much more rewarding than teasing and belittling them. She was grateful for Jim's honesty and appreciated the opportunity to grow as a person.

Party girl
She walks in, all eyes on her, With a smile that could light up the room. She dances to the beat, never a blur, Her laughter, infectious as a tune.
Her dress, a glittering array, Her hair, styled to perfection. She moves like she's in a ballet, Her grace, a never-ending reflection.
She is the life of the party, Her energy, never subsiding. She brings joy to everyone, hearty, Her spirit, always abiding.
But beneath the smiles and the laughter, Lies a soul searching for more. She is searching for something after, A love that will endure.
So here's to the party girl, Who brings light to the darkest of nights. May she find what she's searching for, And may her spirit always take flight.

Extra baggage
An airline passenger recently went to extreme lengths to avoid paying a fee for extra baggage - she wore many of the clothes she had packed to bring down her suitcase's weight, New York Post reported. However, the viral travel hack adopted by many didn't work for her, as she ended up getting a fine from the airline.
Notably, 19-year-old Adriana Ocampo was traveling with airline Jetstar from Melbourne to her home in Adelaide, Australia, after a girls' trip with her friend. After realising her carry-on luggage exceeded the maximum weight limit of seven kilos, she put on all of her extra clothes to avoid the excess baggage fee. Her friend also followed suit, as her case was also over the limit. She piled on almost six kilos of clothing including t-shirts, jackets, jumpers, and trousers. Speaking to South West News Service, Ms. Ocampo said that she ''looked like a bear'' while trying to pull off the stunt. The only way take the weight off their bags is if they put it on , so they started putting on our jackets and coats. As well as layers of jackets and jumpers. One woman had about six layers on and stuff in her pockets”.
''Everyone in line was staring at them and laughing , it was kind of embarrassing. People were annoyed that they were holding the plane up”.
However, their luggage was still more than 1kg over the limit, even with best efforts. The airline told them they had to pay the $65 fine. What's more, she then had to wear all the clothes on the plane as well.
In a statement to The Independent, a Jetstar spokesperson said, ''While we certainly see the funny side, we have limits to carry-on to make it fair for everyone. Keeping track of how much baggage passengers bring onboard means everyone has room for their belongings and we're meeting our safety requirements.''
In a similar incident in 2019, a Filipino airline passenger wore about 2.5 kilograms of clothes to bring down her bag's weight to only 6.5 kg. She also posted a hilarious photo on Facebook which showed her wearing around five pairs of pants and multiple T-shirts and jackets.

Children's Aid Society of Ontario
My oldest son got involved with Children's Aid Society(CAS) last summer.His fiancée phoned the Police on him and CAS got involved.
As a result,they required him to do a lot of things,which he has complied.
His fiancée decided to end their relationship of 9 years. She is still involved with CAS.
My son's daughter loves him but the ex. decided that he is not allowed to text her to talk to the daughter.
My son has left numerous messages with both the Worker and the Supervisor.
His Dr. didn't even know that she had moved. She said that CAS should have contacted her.
My son talked to the Police about charging the fiancée with Kidnapping and the boyfriend.The officer phoned CAS and they answered for him.
The lack of cooperation with CAS has caused my son a lot of stress and misses his daughter so much.
Thank you.

Tell a lie enough times...
Said many times and places, if you tell a lie enough times, people will believe it to be the truth. That often spawns conspiracy theories. Sometimes the facts don't align with the stories.
There will always be a mystery about the death of John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and his sister-in-law Lauren Bessette. They died in a plane crash off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard in July 1999.
I've seen a handful of videos and some airplane animation of the flight path. Okay, that looks viable. A few things that tipped me off of something suspicious that wasn't right.
Senator Edward Kennedy who was the uncle to JFK Jr. identified the body. The autopsy was rushed and the body cremated and the ashes scattered at sea.
This is the best one:
While I heard it was the Identifications to the 3, I later read it was the registration papers to the airplane piloted by John F. Kennedy Jr. washed up, soggy but intact, on the very beachfront property he owned.
The plane went down and was found at a depth of 116 feet about 8 miles off the coast of Martha's Vineyard. I cannot 'fathom' how the registration magically washed up on his property.
I'm thinking, tell a lie enough times...
