HilClaude at Disneyland. 😊
As soon as the coaster ground to a stop, Claude shot out of his seat and ran for the exit while Hilda followed at a more measured pace, stopping once to run her fingers through her wind-battered hair. She walked past the line of people waiting to ride next, past a stand selling mouse ears, and at last came to a set of benches where Claude sat, bent double, breathing deeply.
“If you admit I’m right and we shouldn’t have gone for a third time, I’ll find you some ginger ale,” Hilda promised, reaching out to rub the back of his neck.

Young children were hired as extras for a public film shoot starring a paedophile, the BBC has learned.
About 200 children and young women played fans alongside Jacky Jhaj, 38, who is on the sex offenders register, in London's Leicester Square.
In 2016 he was jailed for four years, having been found guilty of four counts of sexual activity with two 15-year-olds after posing as a film producer.
Casting agencies say actors were kept safe and children had chaperones.
The BBC has been told by two cast members that they were not made aware of the real identity of Jhaj, of west London.
Filming was held on 17 October outside the Odeon Luxe cinema, where a red carpet was set up with barricades resembling a movie premiere.
Mr Jhaj can be seen repeatedly parading up and down in different outfits and then greeting some of the extras, in videos and photographs seen by the BBC.
The footage shows the cast in close proximity to Mr Jhaj, with some touching his hands and back.
The BBC has learned that the organiser of the event - known only as "Project BRT" - hired 90 children aged six to 14 from one agency, Jam 2000.
The production also booked about 100 young women between the ages of 16-24 from another company, Uni-versal Extras.
It is not clear who else was involved in the production or what plans there are to release any footage.
The BBC has been provided with the names of people said to have helped organise the filming. All denied involvement or declined to respond - and it is unclear if anyone working as part of a film crew was aware of Mr Jhaj's criminal conviction.
Letters and calls made to Jhaj and the production company were not returned.
The BBC has seen text messages and correspondence sent by Uni-versal Extras when recruiting the older cast - and also following the event.
They show:
Actors were paid £85 to pose as "die-hard" fans who "cry, far-reach and faint"
The cast was requested to wear a range of costumes which included "Clubbing High School Uniform", a "Harry Potter type look (came straight from school)" and "PJs"
"You could very-well [sic] be dressed as if you are to be scouted and requested to join the guests on the red carpet", read the text message
Following the event, Uni-versal Extras emailed its actors to say it had only been made aware after the event that a cast member may have had a criminal conviction. A second email warned them that speaking to the media would be in breach of their contracts.
On 2 November, the agency sent a third email which sought to reassure the cast. It said it had conducted an "extensive investigation" and reported concerns to the police.
"[The Metropolitan Police] assured us that there is no cause for concern in relation to Artiste safety and there were no restrictions placed on this individual preventing him working with, or being near, any of our Artistes, including those under 18," it said.
The BBC approached the Met Police and was told that Jhaj has been charged with two counts of failing to comply with the notification requirements of the sex offenders' register - failure to comply with the registration of a new passport and provide notification of travel seven days prior to departure.
He has also been charged with breaching his sexual harm prevention order by failing to supply a mobile phone for inspection, the Met added. He has not yet been required to provide a plea.
The BBC has also spoken to two young adults who attended the Leicester Square event. Both say they were left "clueless" over the exact nature of the production and given no information about the star's identity or criminal record.
One said she assumed that the lack of information meant it was possibly "a high-profile" production that required secrecy and feels it's "dangerous" how little information is shared about such filming.
The second said that on learning of Jhaj's criminal conviction she had been left feeling "sickened" and "scared" - and was having nightmares about it.
Uni-versal Extras' director Liana Berko said she was "horrified" to learn of Jhaj's involvement - and his criminal history - but the company does not have the authority to ask for a cast list.
She said all actors were aged over 16-and-a-half. They do not legally require chaperones, she added.
The agency had told the production that its terms and conditions had been broken and all footage of the event should be destroyed, she said.
None of the extras were prevented from reporting their concerns, she said, but the company had "sought to limit" the sharing of inaccurate claims made online.
Jam 2000, the agency which booked 90 children aged between six and 14 years old, also said they were unaware of Jhaj's identity.
It said its cast were kept safe at all times, licensed to attend and looked after by 20 chaperones. The company added that the children had no contact with Mr Jhaj, were kept away from the barriers where he greeted some actors - and were able to use an auditorium inside the Odeon as a holding area, which he did not have access to.
The NSPCC told the BBC that children working in the entertainment industry can be "particularly vulnerable".
A spokesperson said it was "fundamental" that those making arrangements in which children come into contact with adults "take full responsibility for keeping the children safe".
The Odeon says it entered into a contract with a legitimate UK company for the event - and has now terminated this agreement. It added that no filming took place within the auditorium and it is reviewing its event-booking process.
The staged red carpet event was also held on public land outside the cinema's entrance. Westminster City Council says it did not receive a "full" filming application and that it was the responsibility of the event organiser, not the local authority, to check the criminal background of anyone attending.

OC’s Lore Summary: Big Floofy Unicorn from the House of Cueva. Often People are surprised to learn she shares the house name and is adopted by Sin. Kinda shy around strangers but loves food so anything about it can make her quite chatty. Is so different from what people expect given Sin raised her.

Fun Facts: Sin's servant Maya found a little Waffle alone and hungry in the forest 16yrs ago. When Sin saw her he was so amused by her cuteness he adopted her days later.
No matter what you do when looking at Waffle's hair,tail,and eyes you will always see the rainbow completely even if you on side you will still see all the colors. This is a natural unicorn affect.

Waffle is technically not a servant as is the daughter of the house but was hit with the deadly sins personality spell her father was casting on his other servants by accident. She gained the personality of Gluttony and became obsessed with food.
Sin thinks due to the spell this is why Waffle grew from 5ft6in to 8ft8in as to greatly show her new self with this spell. Waffle doesn't mind as still cute unicorn just more squishy and tall
Waffle does like scary stuff due to her father's love of it but not as much as cute. Often will make anything too scary stuff cute to fix. This includes her father sometimes as will dress him up which he is ok with cause he loves her yet looks ridiculous sometimes with bows everywhere. She does imitate Sin's hissing noise alot making her intimidating sometimes.
The Ladle Waffle was given by Lustre and is colored to reflect gender choice. It has become Waffle's favorite cooking utensil. Also Waffle uses it as a weapon to smack people with if they make em mad. Forneus,another servant who flirts with Waffle alot gets smacked by it alot on the hand.
Sin has told Waffle about a girl named Melanie at his college that's super cute like em. Waffle waits for the day to meet so can snuggle her.
When Waffle gets super excited or flustered, tiny star sparkle glitter from hair or tail start falling out. Containing these emotions is troublesome sometimes.
Often when Sin is at home Waffle will grab and snuggle in lap with all the glitter going everywhere. So much glitter and laughter but Maya is usually waiting for this to make Waffle clean up the mess.
Waffle is the main cook/baker of the house with having others under her to make food for all in it. Waffle's signature dish is a big pot of hot lightly sweetened oatmeal that when placed in a serving bowl is topped with 3 to 4 berry varieties that have been steamed and sliced. Theres also a actual waffle/pancake version of this too where the berries are placed on waffles or pancakes.

The Words - The Thirtieth  Word - Part 29
THIRD POINT: One Divine purpose in making atoms move on in ani- mate bodies and causing them to pass through several transformations is to enliven and illuminate them with meaning. This makes them suitable material from which to build the Hereafter. It is as if human, animal, and even plant bodies were guesthouses, barracks, or schools to train and instruct inanimate atoms so that they may be illumined and refined. By per- forming various duties, they become worthy of being atoms in the World of Permanence, the abode the Hereafter, all of whose elements are living.
Question: How can we become aware that there is that Divine pur- pose (mentioned above) in each atom’s motions?
Answer: First: We can become aware through the Maker’s Wisdom, Which is established and proved by the purposiveness or instances of wisdom and orderliness observed in all creatures. The Wisdom, Which attaches uni- versal instances of wisdom to a most particular thing would not leave the motion of atoms, which exhibit the greatest activity in the universe’s flow and are the means for embroideries full of wisdom, without purpose. Also, the Divine Wisdom and Sovereignty, Which give even the smallest creature a suitable wage and recompense for its duty and its proper perfection, would not leave their most numerous and important servants without light, without a wage.

Just thinking and making some parallels for fun:
One of my favorite artist in the entire world is Lana Del Rey. I absolutely LOVE her discography and know and vibe to every single song of hers, here are some examples:
“I can hear sirens, sirens
He hit me and it felt like a kiss” -Ultraviolence
(never in my life have I had an abusive partner)
“If he's a serial killer, then what's the worst
That could happen to a girl who's already hurt?
I'm already hurt”- Happiness is a butterfly.
(I am absolutely not hurt, nor know any potencial serial killer)
“She says: You don't want to be like me
Lookin' for fun, gettin' high for free
I'm dyin', I'm dying’” - Carmen.
(I don’t get high for free and I am very much alive)
“My father never stepped in when his wife would rage at me
So I ended up awkward but sweet” - Wildflower Wildfire.
(My family issues are different and I am not sweet at ALL)
With all this I just want to ask: why do people make such a big deal for some song lyrics ?
Man, music is uni(freaking)versal and you can vibe to a rap song talking about hitting on a babe, or absolutely lose your shit over a metal song blaspheming. And just… being there doing some “normal” stuff like studying and sleeping.
You can identify with some rhythm and lyrics, but not quite literally with EVERYTHING you listen to.
But this is my POV, I am not Jk at the end of the day.

Universal Ground
Longchenpa on Universal Ground and Universal Ground Consciousness
The relationship of foundational consciousness and non-awareness is thus clear in these terms – non-awareness undergrids the very possibility of samsaric existence, and the foundational consciousness attempts to provide a model for how that basic lack of awareness can serve as a working basis for other emotions, cognitive acts, and personal continuity over many lifetimes. The other three dimensions of the universal ground are a natural extension offering details on how this unconscious substratum determines the health of one’s life world, shapes emotional and cognitive details across time, and constitutes one’s bodily struc- ture. It does this primarily through acting as a repository for the trace impressions of past and present activities and emotions, and then furthermore acting as the operational basis for those trace impressions to subsequently ripen into active proclivities influencing present and future cognition, emotion, and activity. Yet how do these fundamental layers of unconscious processes relate to other unconscious dimensions in human beings described as divine, yet in ordinary existence equally far removed from introspection, reflexive awareness, and deliberate intention?
In order to assess this question, we must examine the standard Great Perfection distinction between the terms “universal ground” (kun gzhi; alaya) and the “uni- versal ground consciousness” (kun gzhi’i rnam shes; alayavijñana), a distinction Longchenpa locates in Indian Yogacara literature. He cites a Bodhisattvabhumi passage which defines the “universal ground” as “non-conceptuality uninvolved with objects” and the “universal ground consciousness” as “non-conceptuality involved with objects” (Longchenpa 1973b, vol. 1, 85b.2). He also cites Sthiramati’s commentary to the Mahayana-sutralakkara, where he characterizes the “universal ground” as the overall basis for the accumulation of karma in the manner of their house, while the “universal ground consciousness” is that which “opens up the space...for the increase, amassing, decline, and so on of these karmic forces” (84.5). Longchenpa himself describes the universal ground consciousness as the “unceasing brightness and clarity” of the universal ground’s radiation, such that the former signifies how the latter diffuses outwards to oper- ate as the other seven aspects of typical consciousness-activity (Longchenpa 1971a, vol. 3, 120.1ff.). This subtle distinction, however, is of exceptional impor- tance when one considers its broader discursive context within the Seminal Heart’s central interest in cosmogony and divine creation stemming from pri- mordial cognition. The tradition posits an original, divine ground termed “the ground of all” (kun gyi gzhi ma), which in its contracted form leads us back to a “universal ground” (kun gzhi). This results in a fundamental ambiguity that extends throughout the system, namely whether “ground of all” with its cosmogonic primordiality signifies all of samsara and nirvaja, or simply all of samsara. Despite Longchenpa’s following the latter interpretative trajectory in The Treasury of Words and Meanings (Longchenpa 1983c), the term “primordial”(ye, ye don) typically signifies the transcendent dimension of a Buddha and nirvaja, whether referring to a Buddha’s knowledge as “primordial knowing” (ye shes) or describing the cosmogonic base as a “primordial ground” (ye gzhi). Indeed, Longchenpa’s own corpus elsewhere explicitly uses the term “universal ground” to signify the innately pure primordial ground of all reality (Longchenpa 1983d, 89.7).
This divine ground is explicitly identified as “a nucleus of enlightened movement” (de bzhin gshegs pa, S: tathagatagarbha) or Buddha-nature. While presented as a cosmogonic ground which ontologically precedes cyclic existence (saÅsara) and transcendence (nirvaja), it is also explicitly located within the human interior as an ongoing, deeply unconscious dimension. This dimension is engaged in a constant efflorescence that gives rise to both saÅsara and nirvaja, leading to the stock formulation of a single ontological ground leading to two paths, that is, interpretative trajectories resulting in a bifurcation of life-worlds. The ground itself is described as threefold – empty essence, radiant nature, and all-pervasive compassion – in a model explicitly based upon a Buddha’s three Bodies: the empty Reality Body (dharmakaya), the radiant Enjoyment Body (sambhogakaya), and the all-pervasive Emanational Body (nirmanakaya). The cosmogonic movement from the ground’s deep interiority and potential into man- ifestation is modeled after the description of the divine creation of pure lands, a process bound up with the emergence of Enjoyment Bodies and their majdalas out of the non-manifest matrix of the Reality Body. The completely interior and pure “ground” is described as undergoing a process of exteriorization and rupture resulting in this scenario, from which two paths (lam) extend: a path leading to enlightened transcendence (nirvaja) by means of the cognitive capacity recog- nizing the appearances as self, and a path leading to distorted cyclic existence (samsara) by means of a lack of such recognition. The former path is described as the mode of freedom (grol tshul) of the primordial Buddha All Good (kun tu bzang po, S: samantabhadra), while the latter path is described as the mode of deviation (‘khrul tshul) of sentient beings (sems can, S: sattva). Furthermore, the latter path is termed “non-awareness,” which is here identified as the “primordial universal ground,” that is, the basic unconscious matrix for animate life in samsara.
The inception of samsara and nirvaja is thus described as emerging in a bifurcated epistemological scenario in which an emergent cognitive capacity (shes pa, S: vijñana) develops out of a deeply unconscious state to newly encounter a lighting-up or appearances (snang ba). The bifurcation hinges on what is termed “recognition,” namely the reflexivity involved in this process of manifestation. In the case of transcendence, the interior and unconscious ground now infused with reflexive self-awareness becomes the Reality Body, the matrix of a divine creativity constituting the Buddha’s prolific forms and activity. In the case of deviation, the ground remains, albeit in a state of deep unconscious latency, while a derivative cognitive formation termed the “universal ground con- sciousness” becomes the operational matrix of a distorted and tainted creativity constituting a sentient being’s embodiment and activities. In other words, Buddha-nature is the cosmogonic ground, and the Reality Body is its transforma- tion with reflexive self-awareness, while the universal ground consciousness is a derivative unconscious matrix embedded within the even more deeply uncon- scious pure ground. In this manner, the relationship of the Buddha-nature/Reality Body and fundamental consciousness – wisdom and ignorance – is between two distinct unconscious domains in the body and mind that account for creation and agency beneath conscious reflection. The universal ground literally dissolves into the always already extant Buddha-nature, which then becomes an awakened Buddha. Thus foundational consciousness does not transform into a new type of unconscious process or cognitive constellation, but rather dissipates so that deeper movements can emerge into being, perception and emotions directly out- side of its meditating and distorting influences.

The Words - The Twenty-ninth  Word - Part 2
The nature of the universe requires the existence of these beings, for its finely adorned art works, meaningful decorations, and purposeful, deli- cate embroideries demand sentient beings to reflect upon, as well as praise and commend, them in full appreciation. Just as a beauty needs a lover and food is given to the hungry, so the food provided for souls and hearts through this infinite beauty of art is first of all related to the existence of angels and other spirit beings. The universe’s infinite beauty and majesty calls for a response that must be of an infinite duty of reflection and worship. Since jinn and humanity can fulfill only a miniscule part of this duty, there must be countless varieties of angels and spirit beings to fill this uni- versal mosque of existence with rows arranged in worship of the Creator.
Indeed, there is a band or species of spirit beings and angels in every corner of the universe, each performing its own specific duty of servanthood. Based on certain Prophetic Traditions and the wisdom in the universe’s order, it can be said that some mobile lifeless bodies from planets to raindrops provide vehicles for some species of angels. They mount them by God’s leave and travel through the material world, representing their glorifications.
Furthermore, certain types of living bodies provide vehicles for some species of souls or spirit beings. For example, a Tradition says that the souls of the people of Paradise enter the “green birds” of Paradise in the Intermediate World of the grave and travel around Paradise in them.1 Such birds, even some flies, belong to these groups of living bodies. Souls enter them by God’s command, observe creation’s wonders through their senses, and glorify the Creator on their behalf. Like reality, Divine Wisdom also require this. For just as the All-Wise Originator breathes life into gross clay and muddy water, which have little to do with the spirit, and thereby produces numerous conscious beings, so does He create certain types of intelligent beings from light and darkness, and other subtle substances (e.g., air and electricity), as they are more appropriate for the creation of the spirit and life.

Death on the Nile extras casting + shooting location
With about a month left till Death on the Nile starts shooting, I’ve been digging online for possible casting calls for extras because these often reveal pieces of information about film scenes, locations and characters we normally wouldn’t learn about in news articles, especially not this early in production. And I got a hit.
Casting call websites Backstage and Uni-versal Extras were recently looking for “several background actors for roles in a major new feature film from 20th Century Fox and the producers of Murder of the Orient Express, Logan, and, the Martian.” The film in question is almost certainly to be Kenneth Branagh’s Death on the Nile. The casting was on August 31 2019 in central Birmingham, UK (specifically at the Horton Suite, Macdonald Burlington Hotel), and open to the general public.
The production was looking for actors of Egyptian, North African and Mediterranean heritage, aged 16 and older, for a “variety of roles” set at an “Egypt market scene” or more broadly, “for scenes set across Europe, Africa and Asia.” No acting experience necessary.
The casting call mentioned “fittings will take place three to four weeks before the shoot at Longcross Studios, followed by filming on or around 30 September at Cotswolds Water Park.”
Uni-versal Extras Facebook page posted this announcement on Aug 31 2019:
Tumblr media
The reasons I think this is for Death on the Nile: the Egypt market scene (we know from previous news Egypt will feature in the film), the producers worked on Murder on the Orient Express, it’s a water location, the film’s studio is at Longcross (MOTOE and DOTN’s studio in Surrey), and the shooting date is September 30 (aka when DOTN reportedly starts filming).
The Cotswold Water Park is UK’s largest marl lake system, a “40 square mile area within the Cotswolds which is located in Cheltenham in the south of England". It’s a “collection of 150 lakes, peppered amongst stretches of rural land.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We don’t yet know if any of the lead actors will be filming at the location. Crew could be using the water park to film closeups of the extras at the market, while the wideshots for the scene will be shot on the Nile. We’ll see!
On September 3 2019 Uni-versal Extras Facebook page posted an additional casting call that could be related to DOTN because it’s about filming at Cotswolds on the same date as the Egypt market scene. "A new feature film” is looking for men with rowing or sailing experience “to play sailors in the Cotswolds.” Filming will take place September 30 - October 11 2019. The casting call says, “Apply now on our job boards: Messing about in boats.” Fishermen for background shots in the Egypt market scene, perhaps? Closeups of the Nile boats?
Days before both Cotswolds casting calls, Uni-versal Extras Facebook page posted one on August 20 2019 for London, looking for “men and women of Middle Eastern heritage to film in London.”
Tumblr media
Is it about DOTN? Time will tell. The three casting calls may be for the same shoot, or the London one could be for a different scene. It would be interesting to know if the image of Jordan’s Petra they used for the announcement was a random choice, or if it’s a clue the London shooting set will actually be a replica of Petra (and, indeed, if our characters in the film will travel to Petra on a sight-seeing tour.) Petra is a location in another desert-themed Poirot mystery, Agatha Christie’s Appointment with Death.
The other bit of news is a 2nd picture posted on August 31 2019 by the same instagram user from a few days ago who told us her husband was working on DOTN exterior props for the Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan, Egypt. She said: “More lighting going out on set for the new Death on the Nile film. Interiors and reception area for the Old Cataract Hotel”:
Tumblr media
There you go, further confirmation we’re getting not only exterior but interior shots of the hotel! :)
I’ll post more news as I find it!
