American Horror Story has never been trivial about showing graphic violence. Episode 4 brings plenty of jumps scares, cringe-worthy moments of body mutilation and, of course, torture and stabbing.

The episode picks up in flashbacks of some of the characters, starting with Montana. She meets the Night Stalker in her aerobics class and is stunned, in a good way, when she sees that he killed a man for her. Montana also reveals that the reason she wants Brooke dead is because, as the audience saw in last weeks episode, the guy who was killed by Brooke's fiance was actually Montana's brother. She blames Brooke for his murder.

Framing Mr. Jingles for all the killings at the camp in 1970 had been Margarets red herring. When she confronts Mr. Jingles, whose real name is Benji, she admits that she was the real killer whod cut off each victims ear, including her own. She used Benji's past of his own grotesque obsession against him so he'd go to jail and she'd be free.

Viewers mustve seen this coming. Margarets character has been developing, and shes seemed sketchy at some moments ever since the first episode.

The shows creators excel at capturing the cringe-worthy moments. These include when Xavier is locked in an oven with the heat fully cranked up, and when a guy from Montanas aerobics class is seen hanging with his guts sprawling out above her locker.

The fight between Mr. Jingles and the Night Stalker is another moment that captivates audiences. Also, in a trap set by Rita, the crazy psychologist, Brooke mightve met her end.

This episode also brings another side of Mr. Jingles character into light. He wasnt a killer after all. It was the treatment hed been given at the psychiatric hospital that made him forget who he was and that turned Benji into Mr. Jingles, a serial killer.

The Night Stalker is seen referencing Satan several times, and it turns out that the references arent for nothing. AHS brings supernatural themes to the Camp Redwood when the Night Stalker comes back from the dead after being killed by Mr. Jingles.

The promo of episode 5 shows that Rita will be reminded of her past and what made her evil. Mr. Jingles will come face-to-face with Margaret once again, and Montana will finally show her true colors to Brooke.

Its still confusing at this stage whether Margaret is the real enemy or if it's the Night Stalker.

The show is moving at a fast pace, and viewers whove been keeping up are almost halfway through the season. Hopefully, the next few episodes will reveal the true antagonist, or watchers might be led to believe that Camp Redwood was just another Murder House in a different setting and time.

The question

My wife and I have old friends we see every now and then. We enjoy their company, but I get up in the morning at 5:45 to swim and they have no time constraints and stay after dinner until late. How can we tactfully encourage them to leave at a reasonable hour?

Good question one Ive confronted many times over the years:

What do you do when you want to go to sleep, but your guests show no signs or intentions of leaving?

Story continues below advertisement

Ill tell you what Ive done in the past. Now, I want to emphasize most emphatically: This is not what I advise. Its just a little background information.

In my world its called bolting. You look for a suitable opportunity when no one seems to be paying a lot of attention to you or, if such an opportunity doesnt present itself, casually act as though youre just heading to the washroom then stealthily slither off to bed.

I always feel slightly guilty when I, as the host, bolt. But as I lie under my cozy duvet, I can often still hear the sounds of my guests happily chatting away and thus conclude that they probably dont mind or perhaps even notice my absence and so to the sounds of their merrymaking and laughter I quietly drift off to sleep.

My brother-in-law is also a bolter. In fact, he is something of a maestro. He is ... the Master Bolter. He could teach a class.

Hes an early riser, so when his time comes, his time comes. Well be at his house, laughing and chatting, sipping wine, when suddenly someone will say: Hey. Wheres Johnny?

Poof! Hes vanished, like Keyser Soze.

(Except, of course, unlike Keyser Soze the ultravillain from the movie The Usual Suspects he isnt disappearing in order to continue a campaign of pure evil; hes simply gone to bed.)

Story continues below advertisement

Story continues below advertisement

I never mind it. Id have to be a horrible hypocrite! (Which I am, but in other departments.) As a fellow bolter, I am naturally deeply sympathetic. When its discovered my brother-in-law has vanished, I merely smile quietly to myself and think: Sleep tight, my friend.

One of the features of the bolt, as you have no doubt surmised, is you dont say goodbye or goodnight to anyone.

The reason? Everyone will say: Oh, no, dont go, come on, stick around, the night is young, and so forth. Which is flattering; its nice to be liked, but youre simply too tired to run this gauntlet of objections and fight all the resistance to the siren call of your duvet.

(Obviously, you can only do it if you have a spouse willing to hold down the fort, hosting-wise, which both my brother-in-law and I do.)

Now, I want to re-emphasize that this is all merely background information. Im not advocating bolting. Do as I say, not as I (or my brother-in-law) do.

Especially if its just the four of you. In your circumstances, even the most artful bolt might lack a bit in the mystery department.

Story continues below advertisement

There are numerous ways to politely or, as you put it, tactfully let your friends know youre tired and want to go to bed and its time to wrap up the festivities.

(On the other end of the spectrum: The rudest way Ive ever heard of, although its possible its apocryphal, is a host and hostess who would flick the lights on and off, as some bars used to do at closing time, to signal their guests it was time to go.)

Why not simply say some version of what youve said to me? Guys, we enjoy your company, you know that Maybe dont be afraid to lay it on a little thick: We love you to bits. But I get up at 5:45 to swim, and right now, feel like I have lead weights attached to my eyelids and need some serious sack time. Could we possibly reconvene this most stimulating and excellent encounter at a later date?

I dont see how they could possibly take offence. In fact, theyd have to have hearts of stone not to gather their things at that point and recede into the night.

And then you can add to your ultra-early morning exercise routine with a little late-night aerobics by running, not walking, to the washroom, brushing your teeth extra vigorously and diving into bed.

How do I tactfully tell lingering house guests the evening is over? - The Globe and Mail

Robin Smith has just celebrated his 78th birthday (Picture: Caters)

Robin Smith has just set a very special milestone.

The pensioner has become the oldest living person in the UK with Downs syndrome after celebrating his 78th birthday on Wednesday.

He toasted the important day with his favourite game bingo and some cake.

Mr Smith has survived all these years despite his life expectancy being just 12-years-old when he was born in 1941 due to his condition.

Im very happy thats it my birthday today, Mr Smith said while at Northleigh residential home, where he has lived since 1986.

He added: Its important to have an active lifestyle and keep as busy as possible. I like to do a bit of dancing whenever I can.

Mr Smiths cousin Janet Whitton, 75, said: Hes a happy go lucky sort of chap. Hes had a great life.

He likes horse racing. He loves the thrill and spectacle of it.

Staff believe Mr Smith from Kettering, Northamptonshire, is the oldest living person in the UK with Downs syndrome after George Widhurst from Nottingham turned 77 in September.

He keeps busy by regularly visiting his local church and a day centre for Downs and also helping out doing odd jobs around Northleigh.

He also enjoys yoga, dancing and aerobics.

Lauren Fulcher, a carer at Northleigh added: Hes a loving, caring gentlemen. Hes ever so calm and would do anything for anyone, hes very much part of the furniture here.

Ive been here for 13 years and hes like a Granddad to all of my colleagues.

Michaela Kennerley, the registered manager of Northleigh said that Robin is something of an icon at the home.

She said: Hes got loads of friends, hes very very popular.

Seeing Robin just brightens your day.

NOVI, Mich. Shay Pendray doesnt fit the typicalcowboy image.

She's actually a cowgirl. She's also 85. And she lives not in the Wild West, but in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan,a retired retail store owner and former host of a PBSshow on needle arts.

Still, last month, Pendray was drivingcattle across Wyoming on her horse Einstein, as she has done for the past 10 years.

You cant go on a lark;its a serious thing, Pendray said. A cattle drive is for an advanced rider.

Pendray has been riding horses for 80 years, since her father returned home from World War II and bought her a horse.

When she was 16, Pendray's father took her to a dude ranch in Arizona and sealed her lifelong passion for horseback riding and ranches.

For the past decade, she has been going for a couple weeks every year to A Bar A Ranch, a 100,000-acre ranch which runs 6,000 head of cattle in Encampment, Wyoming, human population 600.

Last month, she was part of the yearly fall effort to bring incattle spread all over the ranch. The work involves separating cows and heifers from young cattle and bulls, gathering them to put in safe places for the winter.

For Pendray, this meant being on her horse by 8 a.m. every day, going up and down rocky terrain, crossing rivers and streamsand searching for cattle hidden in brush. Riders split in a semi-circle and drive cattle that arent always cooperative toward a point where they can be corralled.

Sometimes that means driving cattle across the highway, which in Wyoming is simply calledtraffic and may necessitate the state police stopping vehicles until all bovine have passed, no matter how long that takes.

You drive them slow, contrary to the movies, because if you drive them fast, they will lose weight, she noted. They are sold according to how fat they are.

At 7,500 feet above sea level, altitude also takes a toll on the horse and, of course, weather is also a factor.

Pendray and her partner Einstein have worked through sleet, snow, rainand sunshine, averaging six to seven miles a day, before evening comes and they return to the guest quarters on the ranch, where she enjoys a good dinner, conversationand music in a different, happy, contented world with very, very interesting people.

But Pendray enjoys particularly the zen feeling when it is just she and her four-legged companion.

It is her love for Einstein, her20-year-old bay quarterhorse, that returns her year after year to the cattle drive, as well as her love for the landscape and what she gets from her time out on the vast ranch.

Pendray is the only 85-year-old on the cattle drive; most riders arein their 50s and 60s. She laughs as she notes they often search for Shay rocks, stones big enough for her to step on to assist in mounting her horse.

The riding is difficult, but she still loves it, and said she is never sorewith a still-strong core and balance at her age, helped by water aerobics, cardio and regular walks, up to four times a day when shes not at the pool or gym.

Somehow, God gave me a gift, I dont have cancer, Pendray said. I can easily stay on a horse eight hours a day. Its not a problem, its a joy.

Pendray has seen elk, deer, mooseand, on this most recent drive, lots of antelope.

There are also animals she doesnt want to see black bears and mountain lions, which will spook her horse.

Other dangers include deadfall, downed tree limbs that can trip up a horse. There's alsobogs, areas which can appear to be green grass, but with water underneath and in whicha horse could be easily be in mud up to its stomach and immobilized as happened to a fellow rider. Luckily, the pair escaped without injury.

Pendray said she hasnt been thrown from a horse in a long time, but everyone takes a turn in the bucket.

She also recalls the time she was on top of a mountain when a storm blew in. She and 40-50 other riders scrambled to get off the mountain, as lightning struck just 8 feet away and the prairie caught fire.

We went straight down a cliff, not something you normally do, but you have to get down in order to be safe, she said. You could see the prairie burning, and every able-bodied man dug a ditch in a circle around the fire. It all took place in about 15 minutes.

The dangers dont deter her orkeep hercomfortableon a couch.

She quotes painter Charles Russell, who said, You can see what man made from the seat of an automobile, but the best way to see what God made is from the back of a horse.

Pendray feels the only way to see Wyoming is from the back of Einstein. And she plans to continue to drive cattle with him, already booking next years trip to A Bar A Ranch.

Einstein can probably ride until 28 or 29, she said. We will age together.

'Holy Chaos?' Is Theme For Oct. 13 Event Searching For Meaning In Turbulent Times - The Transylvania Times

Our favorite action movies often feature fast cars speeding through traffic, jumping off bridges, and often crashing into things. Behind the wheel of these daring stunts are highly trained professionals in stunt driving. Without them and their courage to pull these stunts off, our movies may be a lot less exciting. You may have never thought about what these drivers do for a living but each day involves taking some kind of risk.

It definitely takes a special kind of person to drive these cars through fire, explosions, and other daredevil situations. These stunt drivers are drawn to risk and often times seek the adrenaline from conquering a new skill on the set. However, this doesnt always come at no cost. Sadly, there have been many injuries and even fatalities during filming. Safely executing a stunt requires a team of trained personnel, designers, producers, and safety measures. Stunt careers arent for everyone, but we can all take away some advice on how risk-taking can benefit us.

Most of us avoid risks when it comes to our personal and professional life. Most of the time because the fear of failure holds us back from making any moves. Learning how to properly assess risk in any situation can help you take more chances and grow in ways you never thought possible.

This fun spin on risk-taking lessons shows us how stunt drivers step out of their comfort zone so that we can apply the same tips to our life, career, and finances.

Here are some ways you can take more risks in your personal life:

Make a move to a new city: Lived in the same town your whole life? Consider packing up your things and starting off fresh in a new city. This will challenge you to make new friends and explore your new surroundings.

Conquer your fears: Afraid of heights or have terrible flight anxiety? Try investing time into revealing the underlying reasons behind your fears and either seek help to conquer them or take small steps to facing them.

Invest in personal development: Try a new hobby that youve never tried before or take art lessons to develop new skills. You may surprise yourself with hidden talents yet to be discovered.

Here are some examples of how you can take risks in your career:

Pursue your passions: If you feel stuck in your current job, maybe its time to venture into a side hustle or look into other career paths. Youll find much more success in doing something you love.

Find your specialty: Once youve nailed down what you like to do, try to pinpoint what you excel at and how that sets you apart from others. This may take a lot of trial and error but its the best way to build confidence and value.

Accel at your own pace: We have to remind ourselves that not everyone follows the same path. Dont feel rushed to make a move. Instead, take time to perfect your skills so that youre fully prepared.

Otherwise, here are some of the takeaways you can learn about risk-taking in finances from stunt drivers:

Know your limits: Even professional stunt drivers have limits when it comes to stunts. In your finances, set hard cut off lines for what you feel comfortable losing so that if the time comes you can make decisions clearly.

Anticipate failure: Before taking risks, know that you have enough padding in your finances that you can stand to take some losses here and there. Having a solid backup plan is the best way to prepare.

How to Take Risks Like a Stunt Driver (infographic) - Digital Information World

The concept of identity

Careers Adviser. Writer. Volunteer. Runner. Reader. Listener. Partner. Brother. Son. Friend.

In an era where we are often defined by tags and labels that help us fit into the online world that we occupy both professionally and personally, the concept of identity can be a potentially thorny subject, particularly for young people growing up at a time where how we are perceived is not always completely within our control, as Kate Eichhorn noted in a recent article for the New Yorker.

With so many of our professional and personal interactions now taking place via social media platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat, are we all making the most of leveraging our identities to support with our career planning and development?

As a starting point, it is worth noting that many careers teams, support services, charitable organisations and employers around the country are already using the concept of identity to help young people with their career development or attract individuals to employment opportunities for employers, this may be an increased focus on diversity within their recruitment strategies or the use of strengths, motivations or values-based interviewing practices, whereas for careers teams and support services, this often involves helping students to understand their identity in relation to their cultural wealth, protected characteristics or position within an underrepresented group, as seen in initiatives like the WISE (Women in Science and Engineering) People Like Me/My Skills My Life campaign, or the recent project from the University of Nottingham that focused on increasing aspiration for female engineering students.

However, as Dr. Iwi Ugiagbe-Green noted in her recent keynote presentation at the AGCAS Annual Conference 2019, identity in a professional context is far from a linear concept and is something that requires the individual to take into account myriad variables that change over time, including personal motivations, cultural, economic and social capital, as well as what the labour market desires from its participants.

In universities, with students often informed of the significant presence of employers and recruiters on social media, there can be understandable anxieties about how to represent yourself online, particularly for individuals who are not regular users of any social media platform.

The prevalence of Googling as a first port of call for careers information can also lead web users to potentially suspect advice on the subject of professional identity, whether in the form of cookie-cutter CV templates or must-read articles on setting up a LinkedIn profile, all of which can lead individuals to play it safe in relation to the way they present themselves to employers.

While employers and research organisations continuously tell us of the high industry demand for skills like Communication, Creativity and Confidence, this message does not necessarily filter down to young people, who in my experience often neglect to emphasise their involvement in opportunities like volunteering, charity work and the organisation of extra-curricular clubs and societies, despite this being something employers report that they are keen to hear about from applicants.

Whether this is due to the significant focus on academic accomplishments present within the secondary education system or a lack of understanding about how others can perceive you on social media from a professional rather than personal standpoint, many individuals (young and old) undersell themselves in relation to their involvement in extra-curricular pursuits, when often these experiences could be the very things that help them stand out in the eyes of employers.

So, how can we increase confidence for ourselves and others when approaching conversations about identity? One approach that many careers practitioners take is to encourage individuals to see themselves as the product of all of their experiences and not simply their education or work history.

Whether it is waxing lyrical about the discipline and leadership skills that have been instilled through working as a karate instructor or the effective communication, patience and empathy needed to work as a volunteer with the Samaritans, the causes and values that make up someones identity can provide a strong foundation for helping individuals to define themselves to employers in an authentic and engaging way.

For individuals who feel that they do not have a lot going on in their personal lives, conversations about identity can also lead to discussions on career ambitions and potential short-term goals to address this situation, for example taking small steps to enhance personal satisfaction and future employability, such as learning a new skill or taking up an activity or hobby they have always been interested in trying.

Identity is clearly not a concept that can ever be approached as a one-size-fits-all ideology many individuals feel the need to keep their professional and personal lives entirely separate in order to maintain a healthy work-life balance, whereas others yearn to develop a career where they can truly be themselves in the work they undertake, something a friend recently informed me that she had discovered through self-employment after a decade of career exploration.

By encouraging ourselves and the individuals we work with to reflect carefully on the concept of identity, both in relation to ourselves and the employers and organisations we interact with, we can begin to assess career opportunities on a more holistic level and appreciate not only our own agency in this process but also enhance our ability to articulate the things that make us unique as individuals, a skill that has clear benefits for everything from job interviews to online dating!

Although social media may have partially limited the control that we have over how others perceive us, starting a conversation about the importance of identity can open up valuable discussions about how we see ourselves and what steps we might take to ensure that others see us the way we wish to be seen, both professionally and personally.

Not long ago, Friscos booming growth earned it the title of Fastest Growing City in the U.S.

The suburb has been surpassed by others in recent years and is now among the top five fastest growing cities in 2019, according to an analysis by personal finance website WalletHub. Frisco, however, is still outshining other cities in one key metric job growth.

Frisco ranked No. 1 in job growth among cities with 100,000 to 300,000 residents. It was followed by Meridian, Idaho; McKinney; and Bend, Ore.

Frisco is home to the Dallas Cowboys headquarters and an expanding landscape of office campuses and will soon be the Silicon Valley of golf when PGA of America finishes moving its headquarters from Florida.

A recent study also named Frisco the most surprising city to live in if you want to make a lot of money.

WalletHub examined 515 cities and ranked them based on 17 different metrics, including job growth, unemployment, poverty rate decrease and median household income growth. It used data that spanned 2010 to 2018 from sources such as the U.S. Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

In 2016, Frisco was the fastest growing city in America, according to WalletHubs annual analysis of government data. The city, a magnet for high-paying jobs and lucrative development in recent history, has since fallen from that nationwide pedestal.

This year, Frisco landed the No. 5 spot overall on WalletHubs list behind Lehigh Acres, Fla.; Mount Pleasant, S.C.; Bend, Ore.; and Enterprise, Nev. When broken down by size, Frisco looks even stronger, jumping to third among mid-size cities. Austin took the top spot for fastest growth among large U.S. cities (Dallas ranked 20th).

Unsurprisingly, Texas placed eight cities among WalletHubs top 30 the most of any state.

Every human has the power of intuition. Many of us have tuned this ability out over the years, but by simply realigning with our gut feeling, we can live a harmonious life with the body and the mind. Aligning mentally and emotionally with intuition gives humans the ability to be powerful creators.

Conscious Transformation is hosting free one-hour trainings to provide a firsthand experience of the power we wield through intentional creation. The sessions introduce an inspiring 12-week series called The Power of Intuition, which provides step-by-step instructions that help you tap into and develop your intuition, distinguish emotional patterns from intuition and connect to and trust yourself. The free session will provide an experience of how this occurs.

There are five session times between Vail and Edwards. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend one of these free introductory sessions.
