According to Deadline, the male US film-making team of Scott McGehee and David Siegel (What Maisie Knew) signed a deal with Warner Brothers for a remake of the iconic postwar novel – the third English-language adaptation of the book, which was most famously brought to the screen in the 1963 classic by Peter Brook.   Continue reading “‘Someone missed the point’: Lord of the Flies ‘all girls’ remake spawns social media backlash”

The SPLC included Fort Hood in Texas, Fort Bragg in North Carolina and Fort Benning in Georgia on a list of 1,500 “Confederate monuments” that the SPLC claims could inspire more violence like what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia last month. All three bases are named after Confederate military leaders.   Continue reading “SPLC Says Army Bases Are Confederate Monuments That Need To Come Down”

Imagine, if you will, a war in the near future. A war not fought between East and West. Not fought between nations, nor creeds nor races. A war fought brother to brother and sister to sister, father to son and mother to daughter.

AUBURN, Alabama, August 29, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – Students and parents at Auburn High School are asking for the removal of a gay pride flag hung in one of the classrooms by a teacher, ironically applying the argument used to take down Confederate battle flags and statues of Civil War figures from government buildings, college campuses and other public venues.

The pride flag in the teacher’s classroom “creates a hostile and provocative learning environment for students not comfortable to openly supporting the LGBTQ+ community in a public school where students come from diverse political and religious backgrounds,” according to a Change.org petition filed by Andrew Monk of Auburn.   Continue reading “High school students petition for removal of teacher’s LGBT pride flag”

Patients should be given regular urine tests to ensure they are taking medication after a new study showed it identifies those who are ignoring prescriptions and encourages greater compliance.

Researchers from the University of Manchester tested 238 patients with high blood pressure and discovered that nearly one third were not taking tablets on a regular basis to lower their blood pressure.

However following testing, more than 80 per cent either took their medication correctly, or improved their adherence, leading to an average drop in blood pressure by between 20 and 30 mmHg between the urine test and the final clinic visit.
