![]() Or until somebody - sister, mother, adoption agent or out-of-control-kid - baits her. She is hilarious in this, with a script that lets her lull us with how sweet and reasonable Ellie is, until she reaches her limit. The birth mother’s return signals court scenes - there’s a genuine effort to get a taste of the entire process in “Instant Family.” Too much effort.īut every so often, Byrne’s eyes bug out even wider than Wahlberg’s, her voice goes even higher and her patter outruns his in a sprint and she…just…loses…it. The grim keep-kids-for-a-paycheck foster parenting system earns a few shots, and there are slapstick accidents, dining disasters and department store meltdowns. That may work on Granny Jan ( Julie Haggerty, funny), but not on smothering Earth Grandmother Sandy (The Great Margo Martindale). How do you pick a foster kid out in a crowd? Look for the child “carrying her whole life around in a Hefty bag.” Moner’s Lizzie is quick to play the “poor orphan/hard life” card when her insolence is challenged. Spencer and Notaro’s characters give solid statistics and blunt reality checks in between sarcastic riffs on adoption and how it’s not for everyone. The producers figure they earn a pass on all the adult language and adult subject matter (Lizzie’s sexting flirtation with a 22 year-old) by giving a scruffy, rude picture a nice gloss of good intentions. The Wagners bring home tantrum-tossing Lita and accident-prone, scared-of-his-own-shadow Juan ( Gustavao Quiroz) and figure that love, generosity and civility will win over these traumatized-by-the-system children of a crack addict. Even the news that she comes with two younger siblings is just a doubling down on the dare. Sassy Lizzie ( Isabella Moner of “Sicario: Day of the Soldado” and “Transformers: The Last Night”) doesn’t scare them off. That’s a cute running gag, that these two like how adoption makes them look generous, magnanimous even. ![]() Nobody else will talk to the teenage foster children, so that’s what Self-Righteous Pete and Ellie will do. Their parenting on a dare extends to who they zero in on at the local “adoption fair.” Yes, they’re totally a thing and yes, that’s exactly what shelters do with dogs in need of a home. That’s right, the Wagners are shamed into wanting kids.Īnd Ellie, trying to ease herself into this idea, makes the mistake of checking out “Who’s up for adoption” on a website, and next thing you know they’re taking “certification” classes from Octavia Spencer and Tig Notaro, making tactless cracks comparing kids to dogs (that website uses the “Adopt this Dog” website model), insulting their fellow prospective parents and swinging between petrified and “What’s the big deal?” with regard to the Big Change that is Coming. Kids cussing - low-hanging fruit, but always worth a laugh.Įllie and Pete are successful California house-flippers, never giving much thought to kids until her competitive sister ( Allyn Rachel) and obnoxious brother-in-law ( Tom Segura) bait them into a fight over their latest too-many-bedrooms-for-them-to-need fixer-upper. In “Instant Family,” the cold slap of “This is what a FAMILY holiday comedy sounds like, now” sinks in when little first-grader Lita ( Julianna Gamiz) turns to her adoptive mom, who is denying her a new cut-rate Barbie at the store because she already has a more “body positive” dolly at home, lets loose. It’s a reflection of what you run into in theme parks and fast food joints. It’s as if “The Bad News Bears” had replaced every child-rearing book on the market as the instruction manual for how to talk to your children. Oh yeah, Hollywood’s reflection of the culture it works in has been free and loose with the PG-13 profanity, parents cursing around, cursing to and cursing-out their kids in screen comedies the past few years. The manic patter, voices rising in volume, the eyes bugging out hysterics generated by these two - especially Byrne (“Bridesmaids,” “Neighbors”) - deliver big laughs in between the warm fuzzies of what turns out to be a sentimental but sober look at adoption, with lots and lots of swearing. And the two, playing overmatched adoptive parents, really wind each other up. Rose Byrne takes on that role in “Instant Family,” an in-over-their-heads adoption comedy from Wahlberg’s “Daddy’s Home” team. It takes the right “buddy” to get him wound up, antic and funny. Buddy comedies are what work for him, mostly ones co-starring Will Ferrell. ![]() ![]() Mark Wahlberg knows better than to do star comedies built around whatever character he’s playing. ![]()

![]() ![]() Both knowledge of Earth systems, as well as skills inherent to geologists, are used to understand the history of Mars. Mars is both similar to and different from Earth. A top priority for Mars return samples is that they have potential for long-term preservation of biosignatures such as these. Studies of ancient acid saline lake deposits show that these microfossils can be preserved for hundreds of millions of years. These microorganisms and associated organic compounds are trapped in halite and gypsum as they grow in these lakes. For example, acid saline lakes in Western Australian and Chile host diverse and highly unusual microbial communities. Knowledge of extreme environments on Earth that host life provide a foundation for searching for any past life on Mars. Sampling, caching, and returning those martian samples to Earth will allow for them to be analyzed in labs on Earth with instruments and techniques beyond rover capabilities. Mars sample return science includes a search for rocks and sediments with evidence of past habitability and the potential for biosignatures. Therefore, Mars is a good place to test the question about extraterrestrial life. Mars, as a close neighbor of Earth, has a long history of an evolving lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere, suggesting that it may also have had a biosphere. Webinar Overview: The question of whether there was ever life outside of Earth has intrigued humankind for hundreds of years. Who should attend: Geologists making decisions to sample in inhospitable and unknown environments––be them on Earth or on Mars.

If you’re unmarried, your assets would likely not go to your partner without a well-defined estate plan. This is important because, unlike wills that can be successfully challenged, trusts cannot be contested by others, including family members who are antagonistic towards your lifestyle choices.Įstate Planning: Passing away without an estate plan could result in inadvertently leaving money to the wrong people. Revocable trusts can be flexible, allowing them to be changed while someone is alive and becoming irrevocable upon death. This helps keep your estate private from nosy friends and neighbors and can also help minimize offending other family members. Unlike wills, revocable trusts are not in the public domain. Utilizing Trusts: A revocable living trust is a useful planning vehicle, especially for LGBTQ families. Having a healthcare power of attorney requires them to respect your wishes. ![]() Unfortunately, people encounter unscrupulous doctors or hospital staff who decide not to recognize their marriage due to discrimination. While this is technically only necessary for unmarried individuals, it is a good practice for all couples. Healthcare Power of Attorney: It’s important to have a healthcare power of attorney, which gives your partner the power to make healthcare decisions on your behalf. Insurance often does not cover most of these costs, so planning should begin years in advance to develop a sufficient cash cushion. It's important for a client to reach out to their HR department at work to determine what type of benefits are offered for this process. ![]() Gay men who want a biological child may experience even higher costs, possibly well into the six-figure range. The fertility process for biological children may be far more expensive, with procedures ranging from under $5,000 for Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) up to $40,000 or more for in vitro fertilization (IVF). The least expensive option for LGBTQ folks to have a child is usually through the foster care system and adoption. This is particularly true for LGBTQ clients, where the process itself may be more costly. Allowing your own benefit to accumulate to age 70 can result in a much larger payout during your retirement years.įamily Planning: Deciding to have kids always comes with high expenses. Claiming the spousal benefit may be sufficient for your cash flow needs, which may allow you to defer claiming your own earnings benefit. If eligible, Social Security will notify you of the benefit. Furthermore, the ex-spouse is not notified about such inquiries by the Social Security Administration. One does not have to be on good terms with their former spouse, nor does one even need to know the person’s social security number, to apply for these benefits. That stream of income can be important when planning for retirement. In that scenario, if they had been married for 10 years prior to divorcing then they may be eligible for Social Security spousal benefits. It is not rare for some to have been in a heterosexual relationship for a period of time. Spousal Benefits: There are some LGBTQ clients today who had different lifestyles earlier in their lives. ![]() ![]() The grants enable more people to build on top of Pika and Optimism, helping Optimism become a rich ecosystem. The liquidity backstop acts like a permanent safeguard to the Pika Protocol, which brings confidence for traders to use Pika on Optimism. The future LP and trader incentives will encourage a migration of liquidity from L1 and other chains to Optimism. Distributing tokens to these early users of the ecosystem is benneficial to the long term user engagement Optimism. # How will this distribution incentivize usage and liquidity on Optimism?Ī large number of liquidity providers and traders have used Pika since its launch without any token incentives, and many of these are first-time Optimism users. A number of volunteer community members have been building and creating with Pika for the past few months and with these grants, we look forward to having more people build with Pika. ![]() ![]() The grants will be rewarded for integrations(projects built on top of Pika), bug bounties, toolings(i.e: Dune Analytics, Zapper), content creations. $OP tokens will help us to achieve this goal initially and Pika has the plan to use its own tokens to further backstop the system after the token launch.Īmount: 50,000 $OP(15% for early builders and 85% for future rewards) This type of liquidity should be locked into the liquidity pool forever(unless there’s a migration), making sure the protocol has enough liquidity for traders under all circumstances. Pika has the plan of providing protocol owned liquidity to backstop the system under such events. Liquidity vault of Pika acts like a counterparty for all the traders, and has the risk of drawdown when some whale traders earn big profits in extreme market movements. It will allow Pika and Optimism to gain more TVL as well as traders. $OP tokens will be used to reward the previous liquidity providers(prioritize those with negative pnls) as well as future liquidity providers to bootstrap the Pika’s liquidity. To further grow the trading volume and open interest of the platform, Pika needs to grow its liquidity by offering token incentives at the early stage. Pika would not have such great adoption without the support from liquidity providers and will continue to be so moving forward. Thousands of unique users have provided liquidity to Pika since its launch without any token incentives, and many of these are first-time Optimism users. It also receives trading fees, interest and liquidation profit of trades. The liquidity vault pays for trader profits and receives trader losses. The liquidity provider takes the opposite position of all traders on the platform. Liquidity is the most important part of the Pika Protocol. **Amount**: 525,000 $OP(20% for early supporters and 80% for future users) The reward will be distributed as trading fee rebate. To bring more new traders to Pika and Optimism, Pika will use the $OP token to provide rewards to previous traders(prioritize those with negative pnls) as well as future traders. As a perpetual swap exchange, Pika’s growth is largely defined by the number of traders on the platform. Close to $400,000,000 has been transacted on the platform so far, with the current daily transaction count of over 1000. **Amount**: 125,000 $OP(30% for early supporters and 70% for future traders)Īmong the over 10,000 unique user addresses that have interacted with the protocol, the majority are traders. Tokens will be distributed to achieve these goals: Pika aims to distribute $OP governance fund tokens to not only grow its own user base, but also continue to drive the adoption of the Optimism ecosystem. It has brought a large number of users to Optimism and will continue to do so. Pika Protocol has achieved close to $400m trading volume with over 10k unique user addresses for the past 3 months. Pika Protocol is one of the earliest Optimism native projects launched since December 2021. ![]() **Proposal for token distribution** (under 1000 words): **Number of OP tokens to claim**: 900,000 # Pika Protocol $OP Token Phase 0 Distribution Proposal ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Joseph Vincent Paterno ( Decem January 22, 2012), sometimes referred to as JoePa, was an American college football player, athletic director, and coach. Al Pacino is set to potray shamed college football coach Joe Paterno in a new project according to a new report. I think Pacino will be great playing Paterno. Paterno is the fullest description we will ever have of the man’s character and career. He was the head coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions from 1966 to 2011. With 409 victories, Paterno is the most victorious coach in NCAA FBS history. The 77-year-old actor will be one of the main stars of the upcoming HBO movie. At the pinnacle of his career, Joe Paterno was the winningest coach in the history of collegiate football. Hes a great film actor as we know, but my wife and I saw him in a David Mamet play (American Buffalo) in Boston in 1984.

The play is a 3 person play with lots of dialogue and he was fantastic in it. The concept of Al Pacino starring as Joe Paterno in a movie has been rumored for nearly five years.The movie was set to be based on Joe Posnanski’s biography of Paterno, but eventually fell apart. In this honest and surprising portrait, Joe Posnanski brings new insight and understanding to one of the most controversial figures in America. ![]() ![]() ![]() I sent my scanner back to Plustek but it came back with the same problem as when I sent it Sometimes the scan starts load and fast but then the infra red scan runs slowly in this case the ISRD will not work, the image will be scratched and grainy.
