And, somewhere deep in the heart of The Dark Divide, he makes a discovery that challenges everything he knows about the natural world."<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></td></tr></table></div><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='display:none'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div align=center><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%'><tr style='height:.75pt'><td style='padding:0in 0in 6.75pt 0in;height:.75pt'><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center;mso-line-height-alt:.75pt'><img border=0 width=5 height=1 style='width:.052in;height:.0104in' id="_x0000_i1046" src="https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/sys/S.gif"><o:p></o:p></p></td></tr></table></div><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><o:p> </o:p></p><div align=center><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%'><tr style='height:.75pt'><td width="100%" valign=top style='width:100.0%;padding:6.0pt 15.0pt 6.75pt 15.0pt;height:.75pt'><div align=center><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%'><tr style='height:.75pt'><td style='background:#007298;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in;height:.75pt'><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center;mso-line-height-alt:.75pt'><span style='color:black'><img border=0 width=5 height=1 style='width:.052in;height:.0104in' id="_x0000_i1047" src="https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/sys/S.gif"></span><o:p></o:p></p></td></tr></table></div></td></tr></table></div><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='display:none'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div align=center><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%'><tr style='height:.75pt'><td style='padding:0in 0in 6.75pt 0in;height:.75pt'><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center;mso-line-height-alt:.75pt'><img border=0 width=5 height=1 style='width:.052in;height:.0104in' id="_x0000_i1048" src="https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/sys/S.gif"><o:p></o:p></p></td></tr></table></div><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='display:none'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div align=center><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%;display:table' id="content_LETTER.BLOCK15"><tr><td valign=top style='padding:6.0pt 15.0pt 6.75pt 15.0pt'><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#4C4C4C'><a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001jEC0ZNWnRJUaKhO_jLfibNvQGLoY79BXJOLPFoRHFn2BPkJpkKHdRDBgudaoJiDUqwwHSZVIZjIQSbZGBt83Co8VO9toYnG-1USsu2i6Sf3N_CFSad_bR-lAEcz5dMyo10C9MqCVoYo71wU3sVeeXA6doZVaxcQbcHaUgSjCkaF0G1Ve9LgsaQ==&c=HNsOl3q4A6xZ2ob0TUstVxYiaiMK-PM6sU0UUdHokfOLt6z1EH1wHg==&ch=NRAHYxX-SWoi62A5vIhbXT_LwEeDTv2AluT6qrGLKiCrMI23f-gOgQ==" target="_blank"><b><span style='color:#4C4C4C;text-decoration:none'>Save $5 to stream The Dark Divide</span></b></a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>The movie is showing in some theaters, but Xerces supporters can get $5 off the streaming rental.
