James Smith, a retired university professor with forty-five-plus years of experience as a practicing engineer and educator, has completed his new book, “Life’s Little Lessons Too, a Proper Life with a Career”: an assortment of personal stories that left a lasting impact on the author’s professional career and his views on life and the ways in which mankind work together.

“Life usually provides us with numerous opportunities to learn what we need to become successful in our lives, if that is our intention,” writes Smith. “It is when we learn those lessons along with the total mix of the contents of those events that will affect us the most. It also might be the number of unrealized opportunities to learn from those lessons, when finally understood, that reinforces the importance of the event and how that lesson will impact us in the future.

“The lessons provided in this book are basic to our socialization and how we will interact with our total social and physical environments. Each lesson will play out based on the individuals involved and the situation we are being placed in. While the situations may be unique, the lesson basics are effectively the same. Fortunately, if you don’t get the lesson the first number of times it comes around, for whatever the reasons, it will continue to come around until you get it.

“This book is a list of several of the lessons I needed to learn during my professional life, some of which I probably didn’t learn well enough. It is not all of the lessons that I learned, but they are the ones I remember as being important to me at the time, where most have a story explaining the importance of the lesson that I experienced. It is my hope that these stories will provide some insight and help to better relate each of us together, no matter the contents of the story you experienced in learning your version of these same or similar lessons.”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, James Smith’s new book is a must-read for those seeking knowledge about life from an experienced source. Full of wisdom and a dash of humor, this expertly paced memoir provides valuable insight into achieving success in an ever-changing world.

Audiences Are Rating ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ and ‘Resident Evil’ Among 2026’s Hottest Films

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Two 2026 releases, "Resident Evil" and "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," are tied at the top of Rotten Tomatoes’ running Verified Hot list, each pulling in more than 5,000 Verified ratings from ticket-buying audiences, according to the site’s latest update.

Just as Certified Fresh represents critics’ consensus via the Tomatometer, Verified Hot is its audience equivalent, requiring a minimum 90% score on the Popcornmeter using ratings exclusively from Fandango ticket buyers, according to the guide. Rotten Tomatoes introduced the badge to give paying audiences their own equivalent stamp of approval, separate from critical consensus.

Behind the two leaders in the largest-sample tier, "The Odyssey" ranks second with over 5,000 Verified ratings, followed by "Project Hail Mary," "Obsession," "Hoppers" and "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie." Several of these titles also turn up on other year-end and mid-year lists tracking 2026’s most-discussed films, including "The Odyssey," "Project Hail Mary" and "Obsession" among the movies cited as generating the most audience conversation this year.

In the next tier, covering films with 1,000 to 5,000 Verified ratings, "Avengers: Endgame," "Heart of the Beast," "Forgotten Island" and "Practical Magic 2" share the top spot, with "Coyote vs. Acme," "The Invite," a musical performance film featuring Stray Kids and others filling out the rest of the ranking. Rotten Tomatoes notes a third, smaller tier of 250 to 999 ratings exists for titles still building an audience track record, which it describes as newer and more niche releases.

New films earning a 90% Popcornmeter score are added weekly, with placement within each tier based on cumulative Verified rating volume.

Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching whether films lower in the 1,000-to-5,000 tier gain enough ratings to crack the top bracket as the list updates through the rest of 2026.

Revisiting Octavia Butler’s “Wild Seed,” the 1980 novel that opens her Patternist series

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Octavia E. Butler’s "Wild Seed," released in 1980, remains one of the author’s most widely read novels decades after its release. It opens Butler’s five-book Patternist cycle, a five-book speculative fiction cycle, and continues to draw new readers and critical attention.

Butler, who died in 2006, is widely regarded as one of the first Black women to gain major recognition in American science fiction, a genre that offered her few peers when she began publishing in the 1970s. Her work is frequently cited within Afrofuturism, the broader cultural movement that uses speculative fiction, technology, and alternate histories to explore the experiences of the African diaspora and to imagine Black futures beyond the constraints of the present.

"Wild Seed" is addresses themes of gender, healing roles, and the experiences of Black women, reflecting the novel’s focus on characters navigating power, transformation, and survival across generations. Readers and reviewers have consistently described it as a character-driven work rather than a plot-heavy one, with its two central figures carrying the novel through sustained psychological and emotional depth. The book is the first in the five-volume Patternist series and has drawn an active readership on platforms like Goodreads, where it holds a strong average rating from tens of thousands of readers.

The novel has also found renewed life in reading groups and community discussions in recent years, often paired with other Afrofuturist or speculative work, a sign of Butler’s lasting pull on readers well outside the genre’s traditional audience.

Studio CarryOnHarry sees "Wild Seed" as a useful entry point for readers curious about Butler’s influence on contemporary speculative fiction, and worth a look for anyone building out an Afrofuturism reading list.

About the Author: An American science fiction writer, one of the best-known among the few African-American women in the field.

Octavia E Butler (1947–2006)

> I was teaching in New York when I came across Octavia E Butler’s Kindred in a secondary-school catalogue of novels recommended to support diversity. It caught my attention because Butler was described as a science-fiction writer. I thought I was familiar with science fiction, but I’d never heard of her – nor have a great many other readers, I suspect. For many years, Butler was the sole African-Ameri
