Update January 20: The BBC is reporting that air searches for actor Julian Sands have resumed. Ground searches, however, are still paused due to poor road conditions weeks of rain. Cell phone pings showed Sands’ phone moving two days after being reported missing. His car was found near where he was last seen. Officials say there is “no hard deadline” for when they will call off the search.


Original story follows.


Julian Sands, star of Room with a View, Warlock and Arachnophobia, has been identified as one of two hikers who were declared missing Friday, January 13. He is believed to have been hiking on the Baldy Bowl Trail in the San Gabriel Mountains, per KTLA. “Due to the severe weather and alpine conditions, the search has been difficult and the use of air resources was limited over the weekend,” the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. “The search is continuing with air resources and further updates will be given when available.” California has been hit with record storms this January, including a bomb cyclone and what NBC News called a “parade of storms.” Police say the conditions on Mount Baldy continue to be “adverse and extremely dangerous,” and recommend against hiking at this time. “The snow has turned to ice, making hiking extremely dangerous,” the sheriff’s department said.


California is experiencing all sorts of record weather phenomena. According to NPR, this past year saw the driest July on record followed by the snowiest December. Search-and-rescue teams have had to respond to 14 rescues on Mount Baldy in the past month. “Unfortunately, during these past four weeks, two hikers did not survive after falling and injuring themselves,” San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Teams said on Facebook Wednesday.

The fruit’s natural juice and seeds are rich in nutrients that offer multiple benefits. From controlling blood sugar levels to improving memory, pomegranates are a wonder fruit that can be an excellent addition to your diet.

Disenchanted (2022) Review

 DON’T LOOK DOWN! (AND DON’T WATCH THIS MOVIE) Survival movies have been around for quite some time and have had mixed results with viewers. Tales of death-defying moments of surviving the unbridled wrath of natural elements, surreal circumstances, and unlucky situations have always been fixed point of fascination with storytelling, leading to one suspense after another and finding thrills within those “fight for flight” moments. Yet, sometimes these films struggle to find a proper balance within its own context, with an unbalanced presentation of trying to focus more on the actual survival sequences (scares, suspense, and thrills) and not much on its characters and story progression. Sometimes narrative can be well-founded within true life events (i.e., based on a true story), while other times some survival accounts were created from fiction. Such prime examples of lates includes 2015’s The Martian, 2015’s Everest, 2016’s The Revenant, 2017’s 47 Meters Down, 2018’s Adrift, 2019’s...
