Cameron has always landed on the side of fun directors. That isn’t to say his movies aren’t deep or don’t have thematic elements that elevate them above the competition, it’s just that the man has always had an eye for what audiences want, be it the killer robots of the Terminator franchise or the love story anchoring the heart of Titanic. With the Avatar films, he’s once again hit on the button audiences love and created what feels like one of the last, true blockbuster franchises....

But, if you truly have IBS, you may be advised by your healthcare provider to eat a so-called low-FODMAP diet to maintain control of your symptoms.

However, the metaphysical side of Avowed’s lore — first created by Obsidian over the two Pillars of Eternity games — has a far more explicit role to play to in the franchise’s plotlines. Here’s how Skyrim and Avowed connect to Lovecraft, and why fans can expect Avowed’s Lovecraftian influences to have a bigger influence on the game’s tone and story....

This can lead to behaviors such as “stimming” that help people with autism better cope with stress and sensory overload....

When it comes to choosing PC Security Software, a lot of freebies are available in the market & some options with great offers and discounts. However, we don’t recommend using a Free Antivirus Solution, since it lacks the advanced features required to provide users with round-the-clock protection.

Bouchard, a Quebec native, will now take on the red-hot Ana Ivanovic for a spot in the semifinals. Ivanovic on Sunday knocked out top seed and world No. 1 Serena Williams.
