Kevin and Winnie are not dedicated to changing the world; they are innocent bystanders who eventually have to figure out how to manage the fallout and live in that changed world. By the time they became young adults, the Vietnam war had ended and Watergate had started. Unlike their older siblings, they had to look for work during times of high unemployment and rising inflation. The idealist folk music they grew up listening to had been replaced by thumping disco music encouraging escapism from the real world into the world of partying all the time. The television shows they watched as kids did not reflect the Ozzie and Harriet family structure. Instead, The Brady Bunch showed the rising blended family structure. Julia showed how a professional, black, single mother can raise a well-adjusted child.

Although there is disagreement about exactly when Generation Jones begins and ends (Pontell says 1954 to 1965, while others argue it goes up to 1967), the point is that there was a generation between the Baby Boomers and Generation X that has been lost between the cracks. It is important to recognize this generation now because members of it are serving in political offices (such as President Obama) and are planning how to spend their retirement years, just over the horizon. If they are in your target market, you will have better success reaching them if you approach them differently than Boomers. Learn who they really are before you try to influence their behavior.

Wonder Woman 1984 has had its release date delayed three times so far, but the film looks finally set to come out. Later this year in the U.S., the superhero sequel starring Gal Gadot will get a simultaneous release on the HBO Max streaming service as well as in selected theaters.

After it was moved from its previous release dates of June 5, August 14 and October 2, Wonder Woman 2 is now seemingly locked in for Friday, December 25, when it will roll out in theatres that are open and on HBO Max.

This means that, essentially, new subscribers will be able to watch the movie for free. Currently, the streaming service offers a seven-day free trial, meaning that fans have a whole week to watch the movie for nothing. After that time, HBO Max costs $14.99 a month.

However, as Warner Bros. is likely taking a big financial hit releasing Wonder Woman 1984 onto its streaming service, there is a possibility they might remove their free trial to recoup some money, joining Netflix and Disney+ on the list of streamers with no free trials. However, no plans to do this have been announced yet.

Wonder Woman 1984 is not the only hotly anticipated 2020 movie coming to streaming services this Christmas. Also coming out on Christmas Day is Pixar's new movie Soul, available to watch for free for Disney+ subscribers.

The movie's new release plan was announced jointly by star Gal Gadot and director Patty Jenkins on Twitter. The former released a statement that read in part: "We've all waited a long time for this one to come. It wasn't an easy decision and we never thought we'd have to hold onto the release for such a long time. But Covid rocked all of our worlds."

Jenkins, meanwhile, added: "Watch it in theaters, where it is made safe to do so (check out the great work theaters have done to make it so!) And available in the safety of your home on HBO Max where it is not."

According to IMDb, the synopsis for the film reads: "Fast forward to the 1980s as Wonder Woman's next big screen adventure finds her facing two all-new foes: Max Lord [played by Pedro Pascal] and The Cheetah [Kristen Wiig]."

The animation in this show is so beautiful! I enjoy just looking at it. Everything from the character design, how they move, to the background, everything seems to have had a lot of care taken into its creation. I can definitely see this as a series I go back to watch again. I really look forward to seeing where this story goes.

Even spectacular predators like the osprey draw gasps of awe and admiration as they snatch fish from beneath the water with fearsome dives that Jim McCormac of the Columbus Dispatch compares to cheetahs of the air.

That is why our May issue of RCC Birdwatch and Wonder is a celebration of the millions of birds that we still do have, their endless fascination for us humans, and the impressive ways in which we weave them into our literature and art, invite them into our homes, find ways to protect them, and ingeniously restore the ecosystems they depend on.

After a cool, wet early spring in the Northeast, April has burst into glorious birdsong, nesting and dazzling displays of color on birds and bushes alike. As Florence Williams has documented with scientific data in The Nature Fix, just being outside in nature, or hearing birds sing, lifts our spirits, even makes us more giving and forgiving human beings.

February, of course, marks real, if erratic, winter. Amazingly, some birds like Redwing Blackbirds, actually migrate to the snowy climes of Massachusetts, while others tough it out and live in the Bay State throughout its frigid winter months.

In this bitter winter, you can take some comfort in our January issue of Bird Watch and Wonder. You are not alone. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has released the most recent authoritative count of those of us in the United States who observe and care about birds, regardless of the weather.

Like migrating fall birds, what we know about birds, birding, and those who care about such things is ever changing, always new. In this October issue of RCC Bird Watch and Wonder, for example, we welcome Andy Wood and his public media series CoastLine with a look at the Red-cockaded Woodpecker and its connection to longleaf pine. Among other things, Andy also leads Cape Fear Riverboat cruises sponsored by the Southern Forests Conservation Coalition (SFCC) and the Rachel Carson Council to learn about the effects on the ecology of the Cape Fear watershed of clear cutting North Carolina forests to manufacture wood pellets.

One of my favorites is the increasing sightings of wandering flocks of flamingos which are rarely seen in the U.S., even in Florida. Now they have been spotted all along the East Coast, including North Carolina from where I have just returned. And my native New York City, long a rich visiting spot for birds and people, has growing numbers of unusual and rare species these days. How about a Brown Booby at Coney Island? Or Brown Pelicans on Long Island?

Other species, like the fabled Peregrine Falcon, were brought back from the brink of disaster by the efforts of Rachel Carson and her friend and colleague Shirley Briggs, the first head of the Rachel Carson Council, who worked to ban DDT. Today, the peregrine continues to rebound. It can even be watched tending the chicks at its nest atop the Rachel Carson State Office Building in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania where in our April issue you were able to watch them as eggs being laid

Birds know more than we think. This month, a Peregrine Falcon laid her fourth egg on the Rachel Carson State Office Building in Pittsburgh. She clearly was thanking Rachel Carson for saving her ancestors by exposing the dangers of DDT. Carson reached huge audiences with Silent Spring, but back when she was writing it, bird watching was definitely confined to a small, educated, White, somewhat nerdy group of naturalists, ornithologists, and people in odd shoes and hats who could pass for eccentric scientists.

And, despite the continuing decline and dangers for many bird species throughout the United States, there is much positive news to report this month as our fellow humans seek to protect, preserve, and understand the needs of our avian friends. There is, for instance, the amazing new bird habitat at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., a not-to-be-missed opportunity for bird lovers and tourists to look up close at birds in the natural habitats like a simulated coffee plantation.

Then be sure to read the latest from bird raconteur Ross Feldner and his close encounters with Whooping Cranes. And, if you ever wondered what one of those old, fine-print vintage bird guides would have looked like had it been able to include colorful bird paintings, head to the end of our October issue of Bird Watch and Wonder. Then savor stunning works of art that highlight the beauty of birds.

September brings the beginning of fall, which means fall migration for birds is underway! To prepare for their lengthy travels, birds are stocking up on food, so make sure to leave plenty of bird seed and food out to attract and help them. You will also attract birds passing through by giving them a place to rest and fill up on food. Also, be careful when pruning your yard, because there could be new migratory birds using it for shelter while they rest. Some birds will also start molting in the fall, so enjoy their beautiful summer plumage before they become darker and more muted to blend in with the season.

Birds need all the help we can give them these days since their overall populations continue mostly to decline. Even the iconic sounds of loons on lakes so loved by vacationers may be fading according to recent studies in this issue.

Summer has officially started. Along with a new season comes some exciting bird news. New legislation, such as the SHORRE Act and the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act (Click here to take action), is being introduced in the Senate as a promising step forward for bird conservation. Locally, awareness of the importance of bird habitat has been growing. In Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, even 4th of July fireworks have been postponed in order not to disturb the nests of endangered Piping plovers.
