Eleider Alvarez definitely poses a threat.

he's definitely one of the top three
light heavyweights in the world.
JIM LAMPLEY: Kovalev is one of the hardest punchers alive.

he's returning home, you know?
He's fought in Atlantic City a number of times before.

TV Spinoffs That Never Quite Made It To Air - Duration: 5:19.
In this era of endless sequels, reboots, and reunions, no successful screen property is
ever really complete.
With television in particular, a big finale doesn't necessarily spell the end anymore.
Sometimes, it's a no-brainer that an ultra-popular original series will get a spinoff, and once
it does, the follow-up becomes beloved in its own right.
But other times, audiences fall in love with a promised spinoff, only to see it fizzle
out before it even debuts.
Here are some of the TV spinoffs that never quite made it to air.
How I Met Your Dad
How I Met Your Mother attracted millions of faithful viewers who stuck around for nine
seasons to find out the full story of how Ted Mosby fell in love with his kids' mystery
mom.
The finale ended up disappointing plenty of fans, but there was a chance to wash that
bad taste away with a spinoff that CBS ordered in 2014.
How I Met Your Dad was to star Greta Gerwig, but CBS was unhappy with the first pilot and
unable to agree on conditions for a second.
Casting and rights ownership issues were also later cited as reasons the network preemptively
pulled the plug.
The Farm
In 2012, as The Office's final season loomed, NBC execs worked with Rainn Wilson to develop
a potential spin off centered around his character Dwight Schrute.
Entitled The Farm, it would focus on Dwight's vegetable farm and bed and breakfast, and
all the strange figures in his personal life.
"Growing up with Dwight and Mose, was not easy, Dwight was obviously the cool one, and
Mose was the visionary, which left me to be the comedian"
Unfortunately, the network was unimpressed.
Most of the scenes shot for the would-be backdoor pilot made it into an episode of The Office's
last season, but NBC had already decided that they wouldn't turn The Farm into a series.
The Office may eventually return in some form, however.
In late 2017, reports surfaced that NBC was again considering a way to revive the cult
favorite comedy with a new series featuring a mix of returning stars and newcomers.
Valley Girls
The CW's Gossip Girl was a very successful teen soap opera, brimming with bonkers storylines
while also being tongue in cheek.
At the height of its popularity during the second season, the wheels started turning
on a potential spinoff called Valley Girls.
The series would have launched with the second season episode of the same name, which flashed
back to the teen years of Serena van der Woodsen's mother Lily, as played by Brittany Snow.
It was set in 1980s Los Angeles, instead of Gossip Girl's cushy digs on Manhattan's Upper
East Side.
The cast also featured Krysten Ritter as Lily's sister, along with guest appearances from
No Doubt and '80s icon Andrew McCarthy.
But shortly before the season 2 episode aired, the CW quietly backed away from the spin-off
project.
Aquaman
The long-running superhero series Smallville followed Clark Kent's life in the title town
before he became Superman.
It enjoyed strong viewership and featured a cavalcade of supporting characters whose
lives and adventures could potentially be explored further.
A season 5 episode featuring Alan Ritchson as A.C. Curry, a.k.a. Aquaman, inspired a
potential standalone series for the character, with actor Justin Hartley taking over the
role.
The CW ultimately declined to pick up the series, instead releasing the pilot as a standalone
feature.
But it didn't work out so bad for Hartley, as he later joined Smallville as Oliver Queen,
a.k.a. the Green Arrow.
In 2018, Hartley revealed that there had also been plans for a spinoff featuring himself
as Oliver and Erica Durance as Lois Lane.
Instead, those characters remained on Smallville, while a separate Green Arrow series later
premiered on The CW in 2012.
The Chatterbox
With the possible exception of Steve Urkel, no sitcom star's voice has ever been quite
as iconic as Fran Drescher's on The Nanny.
She was at once charming and annoying, trashy but still sophisticated.
As the show became a hit and introduced several characters from Fran's past, CBS was ready
to consider a spinoff.
A backdoor pilot, entitled "The Chatterbox," aired late in The Nanny's second season.
It took place at Fran's favorite hair salon and introduced viewers to the new characters
who worked there.
But despite some earnest efforts by the would-be spinoff's cast members, The Chatterbox never
made it onto CBS's schedule.
Assignment: Earth
There have been numerous versions of Star Trek over the years.
In fact, one of the earliest attempted spinoffs happened near the beginning of the original
series' run.
In the second season episode "Assignment: Earth," actor Gary Lansing was introduced
as Gary Seven, a time-hopping alien on a mission to save humanity with his trusty cat by his
side.
"Computer, record the following.
Unless agents are found immediately, must undertake their mission"
The episode was meant to serve as a backdoor pilot, but the original series itself was
in danger of cancellation, so Assignment: Earth was never picked up.
But since then, there has been a seemingly endless number of Star Trek remixes on the
silver, small, and now streaming screens.
So despite this early setback, the franchise has indeed gone on to "live long and prosper."

(A Very Ambitious) August 2018 TBR: Fairytaleathon, POC-A-Thon, NEWTs Magical Readathon [CC] - Duration: 10:55.
Hello everybody, my name is Cara, and today I am here with my August TBR. So once again
I am participating in WAY too many readathons for one month, but I'm really excited about
them so I'm doing it anyway. I will put all of the dates and the information and the creators
and everything like that in the description bar for all of the readathons I'm going to
talk about today. So I'm gonna start with my TBRs for Fairytaleathon and for POC-A-Thon.
Those two readathons actually overlap quite a bit, I think they have almost the exact
same dates so I thought "what a great opportunity to read some really diverse fairytale retellings."
The creators of POC-A-Thon are Myn Kobayashi, Kevin from StoryGlyph, Justin from Ghost Reader,
Paola Mancera, and Diana from Diana in Colour. Fairytaleathon is hosted by A Bear and A Bee
Books, Alex's Fiction Addiction, The Lost Reader, EricaE Reads, and CoffeeCocktailsandBooks.
And I know I just co-hosted Retellathon like a few weeks ago, but...what can I say? I love
retellings! [Challenge #1 is] Modern Myths: Read a fairytale, original or retelling, published
in 2017 or 2018. And I'm kind of bending the rules a little bit for this first challenge,
because there is a new release that I really, really need to read and it does sort of work,
and that is Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi. This is not a direct retelling
of any fairytale as far as I know, but I know that this book heavily incorporates West African
folklore and I think that kind of fits in with the theme. The second challenge is Tale
As Old As Time: Reread an old favorite or read a retelling of your favorite fairytale.
And one of my favorite fairytales or I guess like Disney versions of the fairytale is Rapunzel
or Tangled, so I'm going to be reading Grounded: The Adventures of Rapunzel by Megan Morrison.
And I really don't know too much about this one except that it was highly recommended
by Giselle from Giselle Bradley and I really trust her fairytale recommendations. And also...not
that this is important, but look at that--look at that hardcover. That's pretty cool. The
third challenge is There's No Fairytale Without Fae: Read a book with fae or set in a fae
world. For that one I'll be picking up The Slanted Worlds which is book 2 in the Obsidian
Mirror series by Catherine Fisher. I read the first book a really--kind of feels like
a long time ago. One of my absolute favorite aspects of it was the fae world or the fae
characters. The fourth challenge is Out Your Own Front Door: Read a fairytale from a heritage
outside of your own. And for that one I picked Shadows on the Moon by Zoe Marriott. This
is a retelling of Cinderella set in fairytale Japan and it's got great--it's got really
great reviews and I'm really excited to see how this one--like how the setting and everything
really works into the story. Also the tagline says "This Cinderella doesn't crave love.
She only wants revenge." So...pretty excited about this. #5 is No Damsels Here: Read a
fairytale where a woman saves the day. Love that challenge, by the way. And I'm going
with Spindle by E. K. Johnston. This is the companion sequel to A Thousand Nights which
I recently read from her and I just loved that book so much. And I'm really excited;
this is of course a retelling of Sleeping Beauty. Judging from what I know of the other
book I've read by E. K. Johnston and just kind of her writing in general, I'm pretty
sure that the female character is going to be the one who saves the day. Question #6
is The Road Not Taken: Read a fairytale, original or retelling, that's been on your TBR for
a long time. And I will be picking up Six-Gun Snow White by Catherynne M. Valente. This
is going to be a really interesting kind of Western-inspired Snow White story. And finally,
question #7 is The Merry Crew: Read the group book. And that is Sea Witch by Sarah Henning.
I don't know if I'll be participating in that challenge 'cause I'm not sure if I'll be picking
that book up in time, but I'll be interested to see how everyone likes the group book.
And then moving on to the reading challenges for the POC-A-Thon. I think it was Kevin's
announcement video where he said that they came up with the challenges more as like prompts
or suggestions, like you don't have to feel obligated to complete all of them, they're
kind of like guidelines for how to diversify your reading, which I think is really cool.
And I'm going to show you that pretty much most of the books I have picked for the Fairytaleathon
fit into the challenges for POC-A-Thon as well, at least for a few of them. The first
challenge is to read books with main characters from 3 different races, ethnicities, etc.
They can be in the same book, but they all have to be main characters. And I will be
reading books that have West African characters, a book that has Japanese characters, and a
book that has Arabian or kind of Middle Eastern characters. I'm not actually sure of the particular
country or region for this one. The second challenge is to read a classic book by an
author of color, or a translated book. I don't know if I'll be completing that one, I might
add in a book later. The third prompt is to read a science fiction or fantasy book by
or featuring people of color. And once again I'm definitely covered because all of these
three books I mentioned feature characters of color and Children of Blood and Bone is
also written by an author of color: Tomi Adeyemi is a black woman. The fourth prompt is to
read poetry by an author of color, and that's another one that I don't have one ready for
at the moment, but we will see. And then the fifth challenge is to read a book that deals
with racism, prejudice, or immigration. And once again, I am using Children of Blood and
Bone by Tomi Adeyemi because the central plot or conflict of this book I believe revolves
around the persecution of a certain group of I think magic users. So that is my TBR
for Fairytaleathon and for POC-A-Thon. Lots of overlap between those two, with pretty
much the same three books, I'm realizing now, they count for a lot of the categories, which
is really great. I'm so excited to read these fairytale retellings; I'm so excited to read
these very diverse fairytale retellings. And now moving into the NEWTs Magical Readathon.
This is a month-long readathon that was created by Book Roast. You "take" subjects that you
qualified for by passing your OWLs. After I finished the OWLs I kind of did a catch-up
um, mini readathon I guess? So that I could have lots of options for the NEWTs readathon
because I decided that I would pick a book for every single one of the 36 challenges
so I could just kind of decide which subjects I want to pursue. I don't think I'm gonna
get to all 36 but I wanted to have options. Can you guys tell that I am a Ravenclaw? Yeah
*laughs*. So I'm not gonna show you all 36 books 'cause that would take FOREVER, but
I'm just gonna show you the first challenge of each of the class kind of categories so
you get kind of an idea of some of the books I might be reading. The first subject is Ancient
Runes and the first challenge for that one is a book set in the past. And for that one
I will be picking up The Ugly Goddess by Elsa Marston. This is an ancient Egyptian historical
fiction novel that I absolutely loved as a kid. The first challenge for Arithmancy is
to read a book of at least 300 pages. And I will be reading American Panda by Gloria
Chao. And our main character is a Taiwanese-American girl who is expected to marry a Taiwanese-American
boy and go on and become a doctor which is what her parents want for her. But there are
several problems with that: one is that she is extremely germaphobic and she absolutely
hates her doctor training. And another problem is that she starts falling for a Japanese-American
boy, which is definitely not what her parents had in mind for her. I feel like this is going
to be such a wonderful contemporary that is sweet but also has a lot of depth and like
family interactions. And this book squeaks in at 310 pages, so just barely made it there!
Next is Astronomy and that is to read a book that has stars on the cover. And I will be
picking up The Girl of Ink and Stars by Kiran Millwood Hargrave. I had this on another TBR
I think kind of recently and I didn't get to it. I feel like it's going to be--oh, I
even have a bookmark in it...from when I intended to read it *laughs*. But I think this is just
gonna be such a lovely like whimsical kind of fantasy story and I don't know too much
about it and I'm gonna keep it that way. Care of Magical Creatures has the first challenge
to read a book with an animal on the cover. For that one I will be picking up The Stone
Girl's Story by Sarah Beth Durst. This cover has a stone kind of griffin-raven creature
and I am just so fascinated by this premise. It's about a girl who's made of stone and
her family is too but something about the spell that keeps them as kind of living stone
or stone that is able to move starts to wear off, so I think her parents are like frozen
or something, and she has to go on an adventure to like get her family back to normal. The
first challenge for Charms is to read a book with magic in it. And I'm a fantasy lover,
so that shouldn't be too difficult! But the one I've kind of tentatively picked for this
challenge is Tom's Midnight Garden by Philippa Pearce. This is a magical kind of garden story
about a boy who every night I think gets transported back in time. I just feel like this is gonna
be a really atmospheric and wonderful like children's classic. And it's giving me kind
of vibes from The Secret Garden and Chronicles of Narnia, in a way, so I feel like I'm gonna
love this. And actually talking about it I'm getting more and more excited to pick this
up so maybe I will stick with this for my pick. The first challenge for Defense Against
the Dark Arts is to read a last book in a series. And for that one I have chosen Banished
by Betsy Schow. This is the third book in a kind of mixed-up mashed-up fairytale series
that I am really enjoying. It's very like tongue-in-cheek, there's a lot of humor, but
the second book was so much darker than I was expecting and the ending of that one just
like blew my mind. The first challenge for Divination is to read a book set in the future.
And this will be another reread because I am quite behind on a few of the BookTube Rereadathon
prompts, and that is Fairest by Marissa Meyer. This is a prequel in the Lunar Chronicles
world which really follows the life and kind of story of Queen Levana. Although you are
supposed to read it I think after Cress. Like I said I've already read this one and the
challenge for this one is to [re]read a book that you didn't like or that you felt disappointed
by. The first challenge for Herbology is to read a book with a green cover. And for that
one I've picked a graphic novel and that is Monstress by...where is it? By Marjorie Liu
and illustrated by Sana Takeda. This is an Asian-inspired fantasy/cyborg/steampunk kind
of thing and I'm really excited for this. Sam from Thoughts on Tomes loves this series,
I think it's like one of her favorite graphic novel series. The first challenge for History
of Magic is to read a book that you think would fit right in at the Hogwarts Library.
So for that one I picked The Apprentice Witch by James Niccol. Like if you saw this in the
Hogwarts library, I think it would look like "oh, a guide to how to be a good young witch
apprentice, or like how to be--like how to get started in the magic industry." The first
Muggle Studies challenge is to read a book written by one of your favorite authors. And
this is another reread, and that is Swift by R. J. Anderson. This is a kind of traditional
fairy story that is also set in the modern world. I hope it's not like cheating that
I'm including a couple of rereads on this list, I actually didn't plan it that way.
And the first challenge for Potions is to read a book that has a name of a color in
the title. And you're not really supposed to double up on challenges for this readathon,
but I do think you're allowed to double up with this readathon and other readathons.
So I will be using Six-Gun Snow White by Catherynne M. Valente. And finally, Transfiguration says
to read a book with a grey cover. And for that one I have chosen The Crying Rocks by
Janet Taylor Lisle? [pronounced "Lyle", "Lissle"] I'm not sure how to say her last name. It is about a girl who was
adopted, and she lives with her aunt and she doesn't really know where she comes from.
But she's always felt like she stood out in her predominantly white community. Then one
day she discovers that her family may have been members of the Narragansett tribe of
Native Americans, and I believe this book is about her kind of coming to terms with
her heritage and going on an adventure to maybe find out who her family was or who her
parents were. *whew* Okay everybody, so that was just some of my incredibly overambitious August
reading plans. Please let me know in the comments if you guys are participating in any of these
readathons or if, like me, you are participating in all of them...*shakes head* because...why
not?! Thank you guys so much for watching, I will see you soon with another video, and
I hope you love the next book you read. Bye!

Weekly Entertainment Wrap Up #82 [CC] - Duration: 5:52.
Hi, YouTube, it's Kathy, and this is my Weekly Entertainment Wrap Up for July 22nd to 28th.
This week I read 4 books, I watched 1 show, and I listened to 3 books.
First this week, I finished Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds.
This is a young adult contemporary told in poems about a boy whose brother was recently
killed in a shooting, and the cycle of violence that led to it.
As the protagonist leaves his apartment to seek revenge, his elevator stops on every
floor, admitting a ghost.
The premise and format of this book were refreshing, fast-paced, and heartbreaking.
With very few words, Reynolds put us right in the middle of this violent world, giving
us all the backstory to understand the choice the protagonist is making, and how it
feels like a given due to toxic masculine tradition.
It is a quick but very powerful read.
Next I read Brightly Burning by Alexa Donne.
I picked this one up because I'm going to BookNet Fest in just over a month and this
author will be there, and it turns out that even though I've never read Jane Eyre, I really
like Jane Eyre retellings, and this is Jane Eyre in space.
The protagonist, Stella, works as an engineer on one of the lower class ships before she
is sent to be a governess on a luxury ship orbiting the moon.
I really enjoyed this.
The world building was rich, the characters seemed fleshed out, and it was fun to see a
mix people of living in space and regency era clothing.
Stella's ambitions and friendships really moved the plot along, and I am very excited
for the next book by this author, The Stars We Steal, which is loosely based Jane Austen's
Persuasion, mixed with the Batchelor, set in space but about 40 years before this book.
Considering I can rarely bring myself to care about the classics, I find it very amusing
how much I like retellings.
Next I read A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay.
This is a book about a woman whose family was at the centre of a reality tv show when
she was a child.
The show was called The Possession, because it was believed that her older sister was,
in fact, possessed.
She constantly cried about the ghosts in her head, and did some downright creepy things
to and around her little sister.
This books jumps back and forth from the present, where 23 year old Merry is working with a
woman who is writing a book about her, and when she was 8 years old and her family was
struggling with financial security and her sister's illness.
To give context, sections of the book are introduced by blog post of a fan reviewing
the show, 15 years on.
To be clear, the show only had one season, 15 years ago.
There were a ton of horror genre head nods in this book, with specific scenes from films
being recreated on the tv show.
If you want a horror novel that draws on classics of the genre, this is a book to pick up.
The last physical book I read this week was Alanna the First Adventure by Tamora Pierce.
I picked this one up because on National Tattoo Day, I found out that a friend of mine has
this character tattooed on them, and I forwarded it to my best friend, because I knew she used
to read this author, and when she found out I had never read it, she asked that I do so
immediately.
This book is about a girl, Alanna, who is being set anyway from her home to become a
lady, and her twin, Thom, who being sent away from home to become a knight.
Neither of them is thrilled about this and they switch places, and Alanna is disguised
as a boy to go become a knight, and Thom goes off to learn about the magic that they both share.
This is the first of a quartet, and covers about 3 or 4 years of Alanna, or Alan, as
her friends know her, training to be a knight.
This world was intriguing and I want to read the rest of the quartet, and I'm told
there are other series and they all interconnect so now I have a whole new universe to burrow into.
I've talked my best friend into do a Buddy Read Book Review of this book, so look for
that in the next month or so, meaning you will finally get to meet her.
This week on Survivor, we watch most of the latter half of season 6.
I think it goes without saying, but this season, like most seasons, is way better than season 5.
Rob is growing on me, and my roommate listens to his Survivor podcast quite often, so I
guess he grows up from the awkward, horny dude to someone you'd actually want to listen
to for an hour at a time.
This week I listened to We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson.
This is another horror novel, and I picked it up because of a recent recommendation video,
which I will try link in places, because that's also how I found A Head Full of Ghosts.
This one is must older, having been originally published in 1962, and centres around two
sisters living in a big house on the edge town where everyone hates them.
Strangely, this book shared a major plot twist with A Head Full of Ghosts, which I'm obviously
not going to discuss here because spoilers.
I think that listening to this one made it that much creepier, because the narrator was
really good at giving creepy, unsettling, yet realistic voices to the townspeople.
Next I listened to Dear Martin by Nic Stone.
Justyce McAllister is a scholarship student at a mostly white school, and then is the
victim of police brutality and profiling.
His white peers seem to think that there is equality between races, but he's seen first
hand that no matter how much he achieves academically, he is still judged on the colour of his skin.
He starts a project where he writes letters to Martin Luther King, Jr., and tries to be
more like Martin.
This book is short and powerful, and about halfway through I had to hold in tears while
I was listening to it at the bus stop.
If audiobooks are an option for you, I highly suggest listening to this book, because Dion
Graham's voice acting is outstanding.
It is incredibly nuanced and emotional.
This book discusses race, privilege, and the justice system in a way that needs to be recognized,
especially in an era where privileged people think there is equality.
The last book I listened to this week was The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains
by Neil Gaiman.
This is a short adventure tale and what makes the production interesting is it's read by
the author and has original music backing the mood of the tale.
If you're a fan of Gaiman's Norse Mythology, you will enjoy this short story, which originally
appeared in an anthology called Stories: All New Tales.
That's it for this week.

Action Triggers - Ep. 47 - Duration: 4:15.
In the last episode, we learned the importance of environment in the making and breaking
of habits.
In today's episode, we'll learn a technique for preloading decisions to pass control of
your behavior onto the environment.
It's a technique called "action triggers".
Peter Gollwitzer, a psychologist at NYU, pioneered the work on action triggers.
In a study he did with Veronika Brand-stätter, they tracked college students who were given
the option to earn extra credit by writing a paper on how they spent Christmas Eve.
The catch?
It had to be submitted the day after Christmas.
They split the students up into two groups: one group was told to use an action trigger
and the control group was not.
Only 33% of students in the control group submitted the paper, but 75% of those in the
action trigger group did.
What was the action trigger?
It was to note in advance exactly when and where they intended to write the paper.
For example, one could have decided to write the paper in their father's office on Christmas
morning while the rest of the family is still asleep.
Action triggers preload a decision.
Imagine you're one of the students.
It's Christmas.
You're at home on break.
The Christmas tree is lit up.
Family is all around you: parents doting on you, siblings having conversations.
There's turkey and pecan pie, and chocolate truffles.
Distractions are everywhere.
If you haven't preloaded a decision about how you're going to do your extra credit paper,
you've greatly reduced your chances of getting it done on time.
By setting an action trigger, Gollwitzer says, you pass the control of your behavior on to
the environment.
Let's look at some potential action triggers for a software development team.
Say you're going to practice pair programming, but you're just not getting around to it.
The daily standup on a team that practices scrum potentially provides an opportunity
to set up your pair programming partners for the day.
You can resolve to proceed directly from the standup to your pairing session.
Say you want to practice Test-Driven Development but your habit is to write the code first.
If you're pairing, your action trigger could be, "When I pick up a story from the backlog
and I'm at the keyboard, write a test first."
If I pick up a story from the backlog and I'm not at the keyboard, my action is to prompt
my partner to write a test.
Maybe even write this into the story card.
That's kind of what acceptance criteria are.
The more difficult the action, the more effective action triggers are.
In a study of patients recovering from knee and hip surgeries, those who set action triggers
like writing down when and where they plan to go for a walk as part of their rehabilitation,
took dramatically less time to regain their mobility, bathing themselves in 3 weeks instead
of 7, standing up in 3.5 weeks instead of nearly 8, and getting in and out of their
car in 1 month instead of two and a half.
Action triggers aren't foolproof though.
Action triggers do little to help people quit smoking thanks to the chemical dependence
on the nicotine.
Try this at your next retrospective: when your team decides what practice you're all
going to start doing for the next iteration, have the team decide when and where they're
going to put the new practice to work.
Get them to set an action trigger.
And then, set one for yourself.
