Foolish Things, follows a group of English pensioners (Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy and Penelope Wilton) as they travel to a retirement sanctuary in Jaipur that, although more decrepit than either the brochure or its manager (Dev Patel) let on, proves to be a much-loved base for them as they go about re-envisaging and rebuilding their lives.
Trishna, meanwhile, is the latest instalment in Winterbottom's ongoing dedication to bringing the novels of Thomas Hardy to the big screen. Following Jude (1996) and The Claim (2000), his version of The Mayor of Casterbridge, he has relocated Tess of the d'Urbervilles to modern-day India. In the title role, Freida Pinto plays a smalltown girl who, after her father has an accident, goes to work for a rich British businessman (RizAhmed) with whom she falls in love. They move, first to a turbulent Mumbai, later to palatial Rajasthan where he runs a hotel, but over time their relationship fractures and darkens.
In some ways, these films are poles apart. Madden, best known as the director of Shakespeare In Love, describes The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel as "a comedy of dislocation" that "evokes the form of a William Shakespeare comedy whose characters are transplanted to a different environment". Ol Parker's screenplay is informed by politics – its starting point is the outsourcing of old age, a phenomenon promoted by Indian finance minister Jaswant Singh in 2003 when he pushed for the nation to become a "global health destination" – but certainly not defined by it.
By contrast, Trishna is a tragedy | {

Halpin's friend of 10 years, Daniel Lake, said: "I was just talking to Lee on Saturday, having some banter talking about football and how excited he was about going out filming.

Architecture and Design). Jones shared Wright’s reverence for nature and his belief that a place should contain a sense of discovery, and both ideas underpin the chapel’s design. “You have a leisurely walk through the woods before you turn a corner, and suddenly you are confronted with the facade of Thorncrown,” says Jeff Shannon, a professor at the university and editor of a 2017 book of essays about Jones, who died in 2004.
The tall, narrow chapel’s proportions evoke those of the trees around it—and the general form of the Gothic cathedrals Jones admired. Inside, hundreds of wood trusses interlace overhead, connecting wood-framed walls that hold 425 clear glass windows in place. Though the engineering is complex, the effect is that of an open-air chapel in the woods. Theinto three East Coast sites, killing nearly 3,000 people and wounding thousands more. In the nearly two decades since, permanent memorials have been built on each of those sites—in New York, rural Pennsylvania, and Northern Virginia—to honor the dead and tell the story of the deadliest terrorist attack in American history.
At the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in New York, a street-level plaza stretches across Ground Zero and interrupts Manhattan’s dense skyscrapers. The memorial, dedicated in September of 2011, was designed by architect Michael Arad and landscape architect Peter Walker. Instead of filling the vertical space the World Trade Center’s towers once occupied, the memorial reaches down.

Childcare at Marxism 2013
An interesting sidelight was how childcare was organized. These were not just baby-sitting sessions, but talks were given at the children’s level of a political nature. When the children got tired of being in these classes, at one point they staged a rebellion, and by motion and vote decided to move outside and play soccer or work on a big collaborative painting.
The final session was Sunday night, in a big cafeteria and bar at the conference venue, with some wrap up short speeches, radical songs from a group who could sing, and finally “The Internationale” by all, whether we could sing or not.
The next day, there was a meeting by the representativesof organizations from the Asian-Pacific region, including from the Philippines. In addition to Gerry Rivera, there was a woman representative from the southern Phillippines region where there has been a struggle for national rights, from a strong organization that is now a section of the Fourth International. The FI also has a yearly school in Manilla. Other countries represented were Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia, and New Zealand. I was there as an observer. It was agreed to build closer cooperation in the region.
Finally, there was a barbeque that night for all the international guests. I got into more discussions, with wine of course, about the American SWP, my book, my impression of the conference, and so forth.

Once again, the media accidentally presented a stark contrast between their phony storytelling and real life going on around you.
Over the weekend, the press published stories about the premiere of the “The Joker,” linking it to white rage. It was as if they'd already had these pieces written beforehand by the same CNN intern.
While they hallucinated grim narratives, one played out for real on New York's streets.
MATTHEW BARNETT: ENDING HOMELESSNESS ISN'T AN IMPOSSIBLE DREAM — HERE'S HOW TO DO IT
A madman murdered four homeless men just blocks from the mayor's office.
Presumably, the madman hadn't seen “The Joker.” He was a young, deranged transient with 14 priors. This crime was a result of a bureaucracy that washes its hands of the homeless and the criminally insane, allowing tragedy toGetMyBoat, a San Francisco-based company, gives customers access to motorboats, luxury houseboats, yachts and jet skis in 7,100 places around the world.

Staller, which describes itself as the “Airbnb for horses”, helps horse-owners rent stalls near equestrian competitions. A home-sharing club called ThirdHome.com allows people with just a couple of homes to live as if they have a dozen.

minister, Vojislav Kostunica, has been known to stop in, he adds.
The secret bar phenomenon is very much a trend in Belgrade. Some, like the aptly named nightclub Andergraund, occupy subterranean spaces in Kalemegdan Park. Others, like the cocktail lounge Ben Akiba - where a lively crowd of people in their 30's toasts "Ziveli" amid loud disco and funk - are concealed in private apartments.
"Where are all the people between 2 and 6 a.m.?" playfully asks the online entertainment site Belgradeinsideout.com, one of the rare English-language guides to the city. "They are probably hiding in some places where you can't find them."
Near Slavija Square on a Friday night, however, ranks of splendidly grimy music fans emerge from the woodwork to follow the buzz-saw sound of melodic punk rock reverberatingfrom the outdoor stage of SKC, the CBGB of Belgrade. The every-punk-and-his-mother crowd arrives by the hundreds, chugging Lav Pivo (Lion Beer) from two-liter bottles. Two unshowered rock chicks in Converse high-tops carry a friend who has passed out and lies horizontally in their arms like a drunken log. These are the apostles of the elder statesmen of Belgrade's rock universe, the Partibrejkers.
For a place that has suffered as many privations and embargoes as Belgrade - where rock was a key opposition force during the lean Milosevic years - the locals exhibit musical knowledge as extensive as anywhere in the West.

a private front I think one also has to acknowledge that, for the Paisley family, it is a very difficult time.
“These matters are always very, very hard and for them, a family who has given a huge amount to Northern Ireland, my thoughts are also with them.”
Ian Paisley Snr’s Democratic Unionist Party is notorious for its extreme hostility to gay equality.
They objected strongly to the introduction of the Sexual Orientation Regulations in Northern Ireland.
The regulations, which became law in the province in January 2007, protect lesbian, gay and bisexual people from discrimination when accessing goods and services.
Lord Morrow, a DUP peer, tried to have them overturned in the House of Lords.
The Lords voted 199 to 68 to retain the regulations.

21. 1995 Dallas Cowboys
Super Bowl title: XXX
The loss of Super Bowl MVP Larry Brown in free agency was nothing compared to the off-field issues that befell this team's key offensive stars. Wide receiver Michael Irvin was suspended for the first five games of the season after pleading no contest to felony cocaine possession. Tight end Jay Novacek suffered an injury that cost him the entire season. All of this led up to a serious Week 1 injury to running back Emmitt Smith (technically not the offseason). On the plus side, they did add safety George Teaguein free agency, and they selected longtime middle linebacker Randall Godfrey in the second round of the draft. The 1996 Cowboys won the NFC East at 10-6 but lost to Carolina in the second round of the playoffs.
20. 2000 Baltimore Ravens
Super Bowl title: XXXV
The Ravens chose not to re-sign quarterback Trent Dilfer and replaced him with Elvis Grbac. Running back Jamal Lewis tore his ACL in training camp and was lost for the season. With Priest Holmes having signed with the Chiefs, this left the Ravens thin at running back and cost them a major part of their offense. They ended up going 10-6 and reaching the playoffs as a wild card, beating the Dolphins in the first round but losing to the Steelers in the second.

Since 1969, the American Heritage Dictionary has been sending surveys about usage questions to a panel of well-known writers and editors. (I worked with them on this for a number of years in my capacity as chair of the panel.) Over time, the panelists generally become less sticklerish about traditional bugaboos like using "aggravated" for "irritated," or "nauseous" for "nauseated." The only exception is that floating "hopefully." In 1969, only about half the panelists agreed with it; by 1999 it was unacceptable to 80 percent of them.
The prejudice against "hopefully" will no doubt survive, zombie-style, among the scribbling classes for quite some time. But it's the last of its breed. People will always have their crotchets, those scraps of grammatical lore they learned at the end of Sisterjust a few hours after the theft.

The theft happened at Mortie's Boutique in West Frankfort, where multiple items disappeared last Friday.
It takes a special brand of hubris to put stolen property on display in this manner. Why not just steal the Hope Diamond and dangle it from your ear like the world's most obnoxious earing? The shop's owner, Kert Williams, had security cameras on the premises and posted about the theft on the shop's own social media page. The enterprising, facebook-ing public did a Perry Mason and alerted the authorities, who picked Saxton up for theft. An arrest she feels is grossly unjust, mind | {

was deeply offended. This is not a joke," said Vanessa K. De Luca, former editor-in-chief of Essence magazine, who wrote a column about the U.S. Open furor.
The cartoonist "completely missed the point of why she was upset," De Luca told The Associated Press. "It was about her integrity, and anybody who doesn't get that is perpetuating the erasure that so many black women feel when they are trying to speak up for themselves. It's like our opinions don't matter."
In a social media post, Peter Blunden, managing director of News Corp.'s operations in the state of Victoria, said: "Australia's finest cartoonist Mark Knight has the strongest support of his colleagues for his depiction of Serena Williams' petulance. It's about bad behavior, certainly not race. The PC brigade are wayoff the mark ... again."
This isn't the first time a cartoon in a News Corp. newspaper has drawn allegations of racism. In 2009, civil rights leaders and others criticized a New York Post cartoon that some interpreted as comparing President Barack Obama to a violent chimpanzee.
In Britain, where fiercely competitive tabloids often trade in sensationalism, Rupert Murdoch-owned newspapers have been accused of sexism, racism and xenophobia over the years. Last year a former editor of the Murdoch-owned Sun, Kelvin MacKenzie, quit as a contributor to the tabloid after writing a column comparing a soccer player with part-Nigerian heritage to a gorilla.

Obama nears a decision on an array of options for combating the Islamic militants, including airstrikes or a contingent of special forces.
The White House has continued to emphasize that any military engagement remained contingent on the government in Baghdad making political reforms.
The U.S. and Iran, Iraq's Shia neighbour and close ally, also held an initial discussion on how the longtime foes might co-operate to ease the threat from the al-Qaeda-linked militants. Still, the White House ruled out the possibility that Washington and Tehran might co-ordinate military operations in Iraq.
The push by the Islamic State's militants has largely been unchecked as Iraqi troops and police melted away and surrendered in the onslaught on the city of Mosul and Tikrit, Saddam Hussein's hometown.Buffalo Bisons baseball – Triple-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays

The deadline for the recount was 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time Thursday but Palm Beach County, a Democratic stronghold, did not complete its recount. It was the only one of Florida's 67 counties that failed to do so. A lawsuit filed by Democrats could find more votes for Gillum there, for example.
After Election Day, DeSantis, led Gillum by fewer than 34,000 votes or a margin of .409 percent. At the time, the race was one of three under a statewide mandated recount. Margins in the Senate and state's agriculture commissioner were also under the half-percent margin needed to automatically trigger a machine recount.
After the recount, the margin barelychanged.
Gillum, 39, had attracted a national following as he sought to make history.
Potential 2020 presidential candidates Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., campaigned for him and he was often featured on national news shows after he scored an unexpected win in the Democratic gubernatorial primary in August.

Peter Cusack
Biografie
Belonging to the generation of British improvisers that came right after that of Derek Bailey, John Stevens, and Evan Parker, Peter Cusack is often overlooked. It has much to do with the fact that he has split his career three ways between improvising guitarist, sound archivist, and organizer, although one could easily argue the three activities are in his case inseparable. He is mostly known as a member of the influential quartet Alterations, the composer of field and wildlife recording-based albums like Where Is the Green Parrot? and Your Favorite London Sounds, and an early architect of the London Musicians' Collective.
Cusack began to play guitar in the free improvising London in the early '70s. One of his first working groups consisted of a duo with clarinetist SimonMayo named A Touch of the Sun. He made his first "major" appearance on record on Fred Frith's 1974 Guitar Solos. His mastery on the bouzouki, not the most common string instrument in England at the time, helped establish his name in avant-garde circles. In 1977, Cusack formed Alterations with Steve Beresford, David Toop, and Terry Day. The no-holds- (and styles) barred improv unit remained his main creative outlet until its dissolution in 1986, but in the meantime he had helped found the L.M.C. (with which he remained involved for 20 years), co-founded the artist-owned record label Bead, and released a handful of long out of print LPs on it. But most importantly, he developed an interest in field recording, especially wildlife. He began to create sound pieces | {

The Coalition knew that Black and brown activists would face the brunt of police retaliation for the Days of Rage—which Hampton denounced as “adventuristic, masochistic, and Custeristic”—and proposed a march from People’s Park (a vacant lot on Halsted and Armitage they had also occupied) to Humboldt Park as an alternative.
“We believed in self-defense, but not provocation,” Klonsky said.
Still, high-profile activists and associates like Klonsly endured government surveillance under COINTELPRO—an infamous program of the Justice Departmentturned into their headquarters—was brutally stabbed, along with his wife Eugenia, in their parsonage in a case that remains unsolved.
The confrontations between CPD and the Panthers were becoming increasingly intense. They engaged in a shootout over the summer that killed Black Panther Larry Roberson. Then in November, police alleged they were responding to a domestic dispute in the South Side when a shootout broke out that claimed the lives of Black Panther Spurgeon “Jake” Winters and police officers Frank Rappaport and John Gilhooly.
In December of 1969, the FBI conducted an overnight raid on Hampton’s apartment with intelligence provided by an infiltrator. He had just been named spokesperson of the national Black Panther Party. A barrage of police bullets struck him in his sleep as he lay beside his | {

If Dion McGregor were angst-ridden he would have had ample reasons for it, for his professional life was shot through with near-misses and outright failures. Born on January 21, 1922, he was given his name (rhymes with "lyin'," as he put it) in honor of Dionysus, the Greek god of swingin' good times. Despite that encouraging beginning, however, his family life essentially ended with his arrival at adulthood. After dropping out of college and aborting a stint at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts on 54th Street, he moved to Hollywood, "to see if I could spot Myrna Loy or Gertrude Michael or Bonita Granville on the Boulevard."(The book version of The Dream World Of Dion McGregor is in fact dedicated to Michael, an off-beat actress of the '30s and '40s who was McGregor's personal muse.) He acted in a few radio plays for director Arch Oboler, who was sort of a pre-TV version of Rod Serling, and had a small role (under the name David Bradford) as Claude Rains' son-in-law in Oboler's movie Strange Holiday, but within a few years he became disillusioned with what he perceived as a going-nowhere career. He returned to New York, and there shifted into a new occupation as a song lyricist. In 1953 he began a collaboration with Bob Cobert, a composer who later scored the Dark Shadows TV series among other successful soundtracks. McGregor and Cobert worked | {

Leading Welsh politicians seem to be getting ideas above their station.
Fifty years ago, Labour held all but four of the parliamentary seats within the principality, and won over 60 per cent of the vote. In the latest General Election, by contrast, the Conservatives were by a large margin the second party in terms of votes, and came within hailing distance of Labour. They gained three seats and now hold 11 compared to Labour’s 25.
Jones in particular keeps insisting that Wales should not losea “penny of subsidy”, despite the fact it voted strongly for Leave. Readers in London and the South East will be only too aware of just exactly who is meant to keep handing over the monies.
A paper in the latest American Economic Review by a team from the Ivy League Dartmouth College examines the local economic impacts of fracking in the Unites States.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Saturday denigrated a majority-black district represented by a congressional nemesis as a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess,” broadening a campaign against prominent critics of his administration that has exacerbated racial tensions.
Trump lashed out in tweets against Rep. Elijah Cummings, the powerful House Oversight Committee chairman, claiming his Baltimore-area district is “considered the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States.” It was the president’s latest assault on a prominent lawmaker, and the people he represents, two weeks after he sparked nationwide controversy with racist tweets directed at four congresswomen of color.
His comments against Cummings, who leads multiple investigations of the president’s governmental dealings, drew swift condemnation from Democrats, including would-be presidential rivals.
Trump called Cummings a “brutal bully” after hisfamily members serving in the White House. On Thursday his committee voted along party lines to authorize subpoenas for personal emails and texts used for official business by top White House aides, including Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner.
The latest comments come as Trump has placed racial animus at the center of his reelection campaign, as he believes his inflammatory rhetoric will strengthen his support among the white working class and attract a new group of disaffected voters who fear cultural changes across America.
Cummings’ district is about 55% black and includes a large portion of Baltimore. It is home to the national headquarters of the NAACP and Johns Hopkins University and Johns Hopkins Hospital.

“He was a documented gang member,” say the Anaheim police of Manuel Diaz, a 25 year old unarmed man they shot dead around 4:00 pm Sunday. They shot him in the buttocks as he ran, and as he stooped to his knees in someone’s yard they followed up by a bullet to the back of his head. Then they handcuffed their immobile quarry with a bloody face and a hole in his skull (as described by a 17 year old neighborhood resident), and searched his pockets before sending him to the hospital to die within three hours.

A horrifying Pit Bull attack caught on CCTV shows how the out-of-control animal savaged a tiny dog after leaping out of a lift and clamping its powerful jaws around its victim's head.
In the CCTV footage, a woman is seen waiting for the lift with her pooch – an apricot-coloured "Spitz" or "Pomeranian" breed – on a lead standing by the doors.
When the lift doors open, a giant white dog rushes out and attacks the smaller dog – lifting the terrified creature into the air by its head.

The exclusion of the independent voters who have helped Trump's surge adds an air of uncertainty to the latest round of state-by-state contests to pick nominees for the Nov. 8 election to succeed President Barack Obama.
Both CNN and MSNBC projected Cruz as the winner in Kansas.
Saturday's contests were the first since retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson dropped from the race, after polling in the single-digits in most of the nominating contests. Carson had drawn support from evangelical voters, a group that has also been a stronghold of Cruz.
Since winning seven of 11 contests on Super Tuesday, Trump has come under withering fire from a Republicanestablishment worried he will lead the party to a resounding defeat in November's election.
Mainstream Republicans have blanched at Trump's calls to build a wall on the border with Mexico, round up and deport 11 million undocumented immigrants and temporarily bar all Muslims from entering the United States.
Story continues
Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, called Trump a phony and a fraud who was playing American voters for suckers, and 2008 nominee John McCain, a U.S. senator from Arizona, said Trump's foreign policy views were uninformed and dangerous.
At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday, held near Washington, D.C., U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, who is also challenging Trump, criticized the media for fueling his rise.

HO Films to watch before you die Les Enfants du Paradis (1945) Marcel Carné's immortal saga about a 19th-century Parisian theatre company – often called the French Gone with the Wind – has a swooning romanticism but majors in heartbreak, too. Among this ensemble, brilliantly played by some of the best Gallic actors of their day, hopes rise and are shattered, and jealousy mounts among all the acolytes of a courtesan called Garance.

Nadia Hashimi's literary debut is a searing tale of powerlessness, fate, and the freedom to control one's own fate that combines the cultural flavor and emotional resonance of the works of Khaled Hosseini, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Lisa See. In Kabul, 2007, Rahima and her sisters can only sporadically attend school and can rarely leave the house. Their only hope lies in the ancient custom of bacha posh, which allows young Rahima to dress and be treated as a boy until she is of marriageable age.

Commonwealth plotters try to exclude Charles
THE Prince of Wales has been warned of a plot to prevent him succeeding the Queen as head of the Commonwealth, one of the monarch’s most influential surviving functions.
Robert Mugabe, the president of Zimbabwe, is fomenting demands to sever ties that have bound the royal family to the Commonwealth since its foundation in 1949. Under one option, leadership of the club for former territories of the British empire would be rotated among its 54 members after the death of the Queen.
Mugabe’s allies insist that their aim is not to humiliate Charles but to prevent Britain from abusing its historic influence over other Commonwealth countries. They blame it for Zimbabwe’s suspension from the organisation.

at the under-performance of Labour, post-2017, especially given the state of the Conservative party that they are facing. Mrs May still has higher ratings as the best candidate for Prime Minister than Mr Corbyn. The Labour leader has never once achieved a positive rating in the Ipsos MORI time series on satisfaction/dissatisfaction with party leaders, unlike every other Labour Opposition leader since the 1970s. The Conservatives are still better regarded than Labour in terms of managing the economy. And, despite the fact that a clear majority of voters believe the Conservatives are handling the Brexit negotiations badly, they are still preferred over Labour as the party most likely to secure the best outcome. Labour can justifiably point to a number of issues where they are preferred to theConservatives, including the NHS, Housing, Education and Unemployment; and they are seen as the party most on the side of ‘ordinary’ people. But why does this not translate into increased political support? It is not as if Labour is currently struggling against other strong contenders for Conservative votes: UKIP has totally collapsed and the Lib Dems have only reached double figures in one opinion poll (out of 68) since the 2017 election. The Westminster graveyard is littered with the corpses of party leaders who claimed it would be “alright on election night”. As increasing numbers of people are observing, if Labour cannot put the Conservatives on the canvas when Mrs May is leading them, then what chance will they have against another Conservative leader?

Then Lyndsay has her period and makes Allan get out under the storm in order to buy her some tampons, with Walden coming along. Then after drinking cheap wine, the ladies make up. End. The worst episode in the whole season, maybe in the whole show history.

Antonio Banderas has been presented with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, 16 years after he arrived as a penniless young actor. Banderas got down on his knees and rubbed his hands over his new Hollywood star Tuesday. His latest film, "The Legend of Zorro," opens in theaters Oct. 28.
"It was an honor and privilege to arrive to this country 16 years ago with almost no money in my pocket," said Banderas, a native of Spain. "A lot has happened since then."
He was accompanied by his wife, Melanie Griffith; their 9-year-old daughter, Stella; and other family members. Sharon Stone also attended.
Banderas, 45, recalled a time when he would return to his hotel each night and gaze out the window at a billboard.

In the late 1990s, the PlayStation was abound with racing games. Gran Turismo, Need for Speed, Ridge Racer, and many more provided players with plenty of hours of breakneck entertainment behind digital steering wheels.
Among these games, however, was a decidedly different experience from Newcastle-based developer Reflections Interactive. Simply titled Driver, the game focused more on emulating the thrill of Hollywood-style car chases than on pureracing, allowing players to unleash their inner Steve McQueen across the United States’ roughest roads. The game was immensely successful, and quickly spawned a lesser, yet ambitious sequel that allowed players to exit and hijack cars nearly a year before Rockstar allowed players to do the same in Grand Theft Auto III.
Unfortunately, the subsequent popularity and quality of the Grand Theft Auto games would prove to be an albatross around Driver’s neck. Unable to escape the former series’ transcendental fame, Reflections would gradually inject more and more of its open-world trappings into Driver, leading to some major embarrassments, and the gradual loss of the franchise’s identity.
Finally, after switching multiple publishers and coming to terms with Driver’s strengths, Reflections would transition the series back into pure, car-chasing action with | {

All through the hotel, doors could be heard opening and shouts and

“It’s fire!”

“Call the police!”
“Thieves!”
“Fire! Fire!”
Mingling with these and a dozen other frantic cries from alarmed guests
came the clanging of gongs as the night clerk, aroused from his doze in
the office, sprang to the emergency alarm and pulled it. This redoubled
the confusion.
In the midst of the pandemonium there came skyrocketing madly down

Pilot Eric "Winkle" Brown holds two of the most startling records from the world of flying. And that's just a part of his extraordinary life.
Brown's exploits run through some of the most momentous events of world history. He was at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, he interrogated Hermann Goering, helped liberate the Belsen concentration camp and by chance managed to sing with the Glenn Miller band.
But his greatest achievements were as a Royal Navy test pilot. He mastered deck landings in the face of tremendous danger. Now 95, he is a hero among military pilots who fly far more safely thanks to the techniques and technologies he helped test.

Aziz Ansari has announced a new Netflix special titled Right Now, directed by Spike Jonze. The special drops July 9 and will be the comedian’s first since he was accused of sexual misconduct in January 2018. Netflix also released a trailer for the special, which you can watch below.
After staying under the radar for several months, Ansari started performing stand-up again last August, and wraps a North American tour this weekend. He has reportedly joked about the allegations against him, which he has denied, with varying degrees of bitterness and reflection. “Ultimately I just felt terrible this person felt this way,” he said during a New York set in February. “But you know, after a year, how I feel about it is, I hope it was a stepSign Up For A Regular Dose Of Kindness & Inspiration

I went from managing a portfolio of tech startup investments to scheduling our five-year-old son’s playdates and carpools.

I never understood why the championship never gained ground during the two month period in 1998, until I listened to Kayfabe Commentaries’ Timeline of the WWF in 1998 with Vince Russo. Mr. Russo elaborated it loud and clear.

The three-day long confab, which is being held at National Harbor, a major hotel, conference and retail development in Prince George’s County, Md., just across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., has panels with catchy titles that suggest they'll feel more like a rally than an exchange of opposing viewpoints,like "Kim Jong Un-iversity: How college Campuses are Turning into Reeducation Camps," "New Sheriff in Town: How Trump is Taking Down Lawless Government Agencies" and "A Matter of Life and Death: How Government is Deciding Whether you Live or Die."

Russia has strongly opposed Montenegro's NATO accession process, so its decision to resort to cyber-spying against a new adversary comes as little surprise.
In February, 2017, after Montenegrin Prime Minister Duško Marković denounced foreign opposition to his country's NATO accession, Montenegro government organizations and media outlets were targeted with intermittent distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.

In a government-run school in Sanaa, more than 280 people are living in cramped conditions. Families live 10 to a classroom but there is still not enough space, forcing others to live under tarpaulin draped over the school's stairways.
Zubeida Nasser Ahmed has been living here for seven months. Her house was on Jabal Nuqum, a mountain overlooking the capital that is thought to have a munitions depot buried within it. That prompted the Saudi-led coalition to bomb it repeatedly. She was forced to flee with six of her relatives, including her son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter. She has aged far beyond her 43 years. She has no teeth and her face is wizened by hardship. When she reveals her relatively young age she does so apologetically, aware of thein the school passed away from malnutrition several weeks earlier.
Those living in the school, however, are the lucky ones. Some displaced Yemenis are living in conditions so squalid they make the schools an appealing refuge by comparison.
The drive east from Yemen's highlands to the coastal plain is a journey through steadily increasing temperature and humidity. By the time you get to Beni Hassan, a northern area in Hajjah governorate, some 40 miles from the Saudi border, the heat is all-enveloping. Stepping outside is like walking through warm wet cotton.
Ali Abdullah, 60, and his family have been displaced multiple times due to the Saudi-led airstrikes. He has lived through airstrikes, artillery fire and cluster bombs. His son was not so lucky.

Institute for Comparative Literature and Society at Columbia University. When she first started working on a translation of Derrida’s treatise, Spivak was an unknown academic in her mid-20s — “this young Asian girl,” as she says, trying to navigate the strange world of American academe. Spivak was a most unlikely translator. She had no formal training in philosophy and was not a native English or French speaker, so it was an audacious — almost preposterous — project to translate such a complex work of high theory. She not only translated the book; she also wrote her own monograph-length preface that introduced Derrida to a new generation of literary scholars.
In subsequent decades, Spivak carved out what seems like several distinct careers. She became a pioneering feminist Marxist scholar andthen helped launch postcolonial studies with her seminal essay “Can the Subaltern Speak.” But Spivak’s not just an ivory tower intellectual. She also set up elementary schools for illiterate students in her native India, where she’s taught for decades. Somehow, she’s managed to teach critical theory to grad students at one of the United States’s elite universities while also teaching democratic empowerment to rural children in West Bengal. Rarely has the blending of theory and praxis been so integrated with a single person.
Now in her mid-70s, Spivak maintains the busy schedule of a globe-trotting intellectual. I spoke with her shortly after she traveled to Lagos and before speaking engagements in London and Paris. We ranged over a wide range of subjects, from her friendship with Derrida and the | {

THE MONUMENT TO THE WOMEN OF WORLD WAR II: A REMINDER TO THE SACRIFICE OF A GENERATION OF BRITONS The Monument to the Women of World War II is situated, right, in Whitehall as a tribute to the those who helped with the war effort at home in the UK during the conflict. The idea for the memorial was first floated in 1997, as Britain was one of only a few countries without a monument recognising the efforts of females during the Second World War. A fund-raising campaign was then set up to raise the money needed to build a monument, and it | {

When our protagonist Nate Slaughterhouse , who has been left barely alive – or human – due to war, is given numerous cybernetic implants he finds it difficult to cope with the trauma of no longer feeling human; due to this the Army discharges him and places him and his family in Mega-City One. Shortly after a visit from the local protection racketeers, whom he reports to the Judges, his wife vanishes and not so long after that his son is brutally murdered. It’s here things turn evenleader.

The president has been behaving in a manner that suggests a growing sense of panic. He writes angry impulsive tweets that harm his own legal and political position and, along with his inner circle, is now attacking virtually everyone involved in the special counsel's investigation.
I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director! Witch Hunt — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 16, 2017
It now appears that Trump, against the advice of virtually every senior Republican leader in Congress, is spearheading an all-out attack against special counsel Robert Mueller and the special counsel investigation itself.
It is understandable that the president is actingleadership of Robert Mueller and it must proceed without any interference or obstruction from Trump or his team.
Republicans — and all Americans — would be well-advised to warn President Trump, publicly and privately, that he stands on dangerous legal, constitutional and political ground. Patriotic Americans should work hard to stop Trump from turning the investigation into a banana-republic performance more fitting of nations like Russia than our democracy.
If President Trump declares war against Mueller and the investigation itself, he will lose and pay the ultimate price — forfeiting the presidency.

BBC Culture asked 177 film critics and historians for their input on a list of The 100 Greatest Films of the 21st Century. And the results are actually quite fulfilling. When one looksat what has been created on film since the year 2000 (which, yes, BBC Culture admits is not technically the start of the 21st century), it's rather astounding to see that we are living in perhaps a new Golden Age of cinema. We have seen the rebirth of the auteur, and just take a gander at the list to refresh yourself with the many, many exquisite films that have been made in the last fifteeen years. Or make your acquaintance with several if you have not seen them.

Obsolescence Makes VCR Manufacturers Press Stop
The news that the world’s last manufacturer of Videocassette Recorders (“VCR”) will manufacture its last VCR has gone around the world. 40 years after the first VHS video cassette recorder was manufactured, Japanese consumer electronics company Funai Electric – the last known company making the devices – is ceasing production of its VCR products. The company cited declining sales and difficulty in obtaining the necessary parts as reasons to cease production. At its peak, the company sold 15 million VCRs per year, which has since dwindled down to 750,000 units in 2015 (Frankly, still an astonishing number! Who knew that three-quarters of a million people still bought brand new VCRs?!).
The news caught my attention for a couple of reasons.

Late Friday, a chemical fire tore through a plant near Houston, sending a huge column of thick, black, noxious smoke into a sky finally clearing of clouds after days of rain.
Nonetheless, Mr. Trump seemed to embrace the role of cheerleader in chief.

He wore a lavender tie around a tall bat-wing collar. He wore a derby hat with a broad, flat brim, and patent leather shoes with white tops. A cambric handkerchief was tucked up his left sleeve; a small bunch of lilies was threaded through his buttonhole. The Times noted that “he appeared to be delighted at the prospect of going away.”
“Butt was a curious figure,” wrote the historian Mark Sullivan, “utterly unimportant in the making of history.” This in his massive multivolume work on the early twentieth century United States, Ourof the mind as an iceberg.” One David K. Hogberg, PhD, comes closest. He notes that Freud used the word ice at least fifteen times in his collected works, but never iceberg. (He once used the plural, icebergs, in the context of a patient’s dream: in “Fragments of an Analysis of a Case of Hysteria,” the patient, Dora, finds herself swimming in a frozen sea, surrounded by icebergs.) Following a string of mysterious footnotes, Hogberg narrows the search to one promising candidate, an English priest named Percy Dearmer. In 1909, three years before the sinking of the Titanic, Dearmer wrote, “The mind is like an iceberg of which the greater part is hidden under the sea: so is the greater part of us submerged in unconsciousness.”

An Interview with Sam Morris
Motivational Speaker & Founder of Zen Warrior Training
Sam Morris is the founder of Zen Warrior Training. In 1999, just after leading a bicycling trip for nine teenagers across the United States, Sam was in a car accident caused by a drunk driver which left him paralyzed from the waist down. Years of struggle from his condition forced him to experience over a dozen surgeries and to lie down for over three years, two of which were in hospitals.
Determined not to become the victim of his circumstances, Sam learned and created a system of mental and physical training based in Zen philosophy, meditation and somatic disciplines that healed his mind and body and brought him more vitality and clarity than he had before his injury.He created Zen Warrior Training as a means by which to share what he has learned with the world.
Sam is a keynote speaker, Zen Warrior Training workshop facilitator and individual and group life coach. He has been featured in numerous magazines, podcasts and radio shows and has been a regular guest on Business Rockstars.
In this interview with Startup Savant, Sam shares his experience getting into an accident and becoming paralyzed at a young age. He shares despite his condition, how he learned to overcome the struggles and made himself stronger, both mind and body through Zen meditation, which in turn ignited the entrepreneurial spark in him to influence others to strive for their best version.

was used by allied pilots during the war as a landmark for air raids. Appropriated by the post-war government, the campus looks like a cross between the New York Public Library and Sing Sing, a grim office block that functions as a perfect testament to the megalomania symptomatic of Nazi architecture (and thought). But the offices aren't just historical oddities. In addition to housing the current German Ministry of Finance, they also provide the unofficial blueprint for the granite columns and imposing facades scattered across the continent of Guy Saville's debut novel, The Afrika Reich.
Saville's invention of an Africa ruled by Nazi masters starts out with a visit to Burton Cole, our hero and mercenary, as he tries to live a quiet life removed from the nightmare ofDunkirk and the British government's conditional surrender. Convinced to come out of retirement, he's hired to assassinate a Nazi leader from his past growing up in Deutsch Kongo. After the attempt goes awry, Burton and his team hide, run, kill, and bleed–there's a lot of blood–their way across Africa, trying as they do to avoid the many soldiers, lackeys and fixers there to pick over the rotting corpse the continent has become.
The book, written at the pace of a conventional thriller, cares less about waxing philosophic on the nature of history and decision-making than it does setting up a believable context for its action. Saville's not so interested in the big questions of American identity or the prosecution of the Cold War as he is in what the | {

Feb.28 (PVM) This is the start of an important week for Formula 1, the last one given over to preseason testing before heading off to Australia and the start of the 2012 World Championship, which gets underway at the Albert Park circuit on 18 March.
Fernando Alonso in the cockpit of the Ferrari F2012
For Fernando Alonso, the week began on track – but not at the wheel of the F2012- instead he was at Jarama, on the outskirts of Madrid, in the cockpit of a 458 Italia.
It was part of an event organised by the Santander Bank who invited the Spanish specialist media to the venue of one of Gilles Villeneuve’s greatest wins at the wheelof a Ferrari, back in 1981. The purpose of the event was to outline the involvement of one of the Scuderia’s major sponsors at the highest level of world motorsport, ten winners of a quiz about Ferrari and the career of Alonso were given a ride around the track with the Spanish driver himself at the wheel.
When he met the press after the event the Spaniard inevitably spoke about development of the Ferrari F2012: “We are continuing with development of the new car,” said the two times F1 world champion.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Springsteen recalled that 1971 night in Asbury Park. "He got up on stage (and) a sound came out of his horn that seemed to rattle the glasses behind the bar, and threatened to blow out the back wall," Springsteen said. "The door literally blew off the club in a storm that night, and I knew I'd found my sax player. But there was something else, something happened when we stood side by side. Some energy, some unspoken story. For 15 years Clarence has been a source of myth and light and enormous strength for me on stage. He has filled my heart so many night – so many nights – and I love it when he wraps me in those arms atthe end of the night. That night we first stood together, I looked over at C and it looked like his head reached into the clouds. And I felt like a mere mortal scurrying upon the earth, you know."

Nicknamed “the water battle of Frankfurt”, Poland’s next match, the semi-final, pitted them against the hosts, West Germany.

Mueller also filed a separate memo on Friday detailing the alleged lies that Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort told prosecutors in violation of his plea agreement. They concerned Manafort’s contacts with Trump-administration officials, a suspected Russian spy named Konstantin Kilimnik, a separate Justice Department investigation, and a wire transfer. Much of the document was redacted, but Mueller said text messages show that Manafort was interacting with a “senior administration official” into May 2018.
According to Mueller, Cohen admitted that he and Trump had discussed contacting the Kremlin in the fall of 2015, months after the beginning of his presidential bid, to organize a meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the U.N. General Assembly in September 2015. The meeting never materialized, but two months later, Cohenteam has been hyping for months. However, the sentencing memos filed by Mueller and the Southern District of New York on Friday for Cohen allege that he was not initially as cooperative and forthcoming as his legal team has led the public to believe.
According to Mueller, Cohen “repeated many of his prior false statements” about the pursuit of a Trump Tower deal in Moscow when he first met with Mueller’s team in August. It was only after he was charged by prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, and was facing a prison sentence, that he decided to cooperate fully and admit that his previous statements to the special counsel were false.

NEW YORK (AP) — Cable and satellite TV providers are joining together to get more heft as the Internet shakes up the television industry.
They’re facing increased competition from online video, shedding traditional TV subscribers, and having to pay more for channels like ESPN. That’s prompted a wave of mergers.
By combining forces, cable companies can bulk up on subscribers, giving them greater power to negotiate with entertainment conglomerates that supply content. They also can gain access to new technologies.
The next marriage might bring together satellite TV provider Dish Network and cellphone company T-Mobile. The Wall Street Journal reports they are discussing a deal.
Here’s a look at big cable-industry combinations — and frustrated deals — in the past few years:
MAY 2015: THE NEW GIANT
BRAND CONNECTIONS
Charter Communications, with the backing ofhis fortune with Tele-Communications Inc. He was president and CEO from 1973 to 1996 and sold it for $48 billion in 1999. He controls or has interests in several cable and media companies in the U.S. and abroad.
JANUARY 2011: COMCAST BECOMES ENTERTAINMENT GIANT
Comcast clinches a 51 percent stake in entertainment behemoth NBCUniversal after a regulatory review that lasted about a year. The deal prompted an outcry from consumer and media advocacy groups and was even spoofed on the NBC show “30 Rock.” Comcast paid General Electric $6.2 billion in cash and contributed its existing channels like E! and The Golf Channel, worth $7.25 billion, to NBCUniversal. Comcast bought the rest of NBCUniversal from General Electric, for $16.7 billion, in March 2013. | {

Brown late Tuesday declared a state of emergency for Mariposa County, home to about 17,400 people.
The communities of Hunters Valley, Bear Valley, Catheys Valley, Mormon Bar, the town of Mariposa, Mount Bullion, Yaqui Gulch/Aqua Fria areas and Hornitos were under threat, Cal Fire said, adding that the wildfire is encroaching on “culturally and historically sensitive areas.”
Fire officials said the blaze, which started Sunday afternoon, displayed “extreme and aggressive” behavior on Tuesday.
National Weather Service meteorologist Carlos Molina said conditions would be hot and dry in the area on Wednesday, with temperatures in the low 90s and humidity around 20 percent.
"The biggest concern for them is going to the be the winds," Molina said. "That gives the fire oxygen, the fuel to really take off."
Marine air moving in through theSacramento-San Joaquin River Delta was creating the windy conditions that are expected to fuel the blaze in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains through midday Wednesday, Molina said.
A large section of Yosemite National Park's western edge was burned in the 2013 Rim fire, one of the three largest fires in California since accurate record keeping began in 1932. | {

The apparent attack in Nantes came after a pair of weekend attacks – one in which a driver ran down 13 bystanders, and another in which a recent convert to Islam knifed police officers.
The driver was arrested following the attack in the city Dijon in eastern France, while the assailant who stabbed the officers outside the city of Tours was shot to death by police. None of the victims in those attacks died.the result is a loss of confidence, uncertainty about the path forward and what the future might hold. One woman who recently came for help was out of work for almost a year, feeling scared and alone. Having been told that she was too old, her mental state was at its lowest point and she needed help.

Large sections of Kurdish cities and towns in Diyarbakır, Silopi, Cizre, Mardin, Şırnak, and Hakkari were destroyed as Turkish security forces used tanks, airstrikes, and artillery to defeat the insurgents, displacing some 350,000 civilians in the process. In the face of this draconian response, the European Union (EU) and the United States issued only pro forma condemnations of the violence, unwilling to endanger tense discussions with the Turkish government over the Syrian war and associated migration crisis.
Alongside the human costs of the fighting, the political ramifications have been disastrous for Turkey. Tens of thousands of citizens, journalists, academics, political activists, and elected officials have been jailed on often dubious terrorism charges. Hundreds of Kurdish news and media outlets have been shut down. As of 2019, 10 HDP parliamentarians—includingSelahattin Demirtaş—and 46 co-mayors remained in prison, as well as thousands of party activists, while the Turkish government has removed elected mayors and installed government-appointed trustees in all but four of 102 HDP-controlled municipalities. Collectively, the Turkish state response has dramatically reduced the peaceful paths for Kurdish political expression and largely criminalized Kurdish journalism and dissent.
Why the peace process failed
When revisiting the breakdown of this process, a few points emerge. First, Erdoğan did go further than any previous Turkish leader in his attempts to reach a peaceful resolution of the Kurdish question. He oversaw improved atmospherics, rhetoric, and economic conditions in the Southeast, particularly by helping open up trade with northern Iraq. He allowed the expansion of Kurdish language rights and, for a time, permitted Kurdish-run municipalities to | {

Nine Days That Changed the World
This film examines the monumental, world-changing impact of the nine-day visit made by Pope John Paul II (Karol Wojtyla) to his homeland of Poland in June 1979, eight months after being elected pope. Having endured decades of iron-fisted Communist rule, the spiritually parched Poles came out by the millions to see him, sparking a revolution of conscience that culminated in the collapse of the SovietUnion a decade later.

It’s an exquisite scene, the very height of hedonism, but one that depicts Klock as nothing more than a ruthless techno machine incapable of sentiment or emotion.

RUSSIA-UKRAINE NAVAL CLASH COULD RISK WIDER CONFLICT

26 NOVEMBER 2018 (SOURCE: REUTERS) – Russia seized three Ukrainian naval ships off the coast of Russia-annexed Crimea on Sunday after opening fire on them and wounding several sailors, a move that risks igniting a dangerous new crisis between the two countries.
Russia’s FSB security service said early on Monday its border patrol boats had seized the Ukrainian naval vessels in the Black Sea and used weapons to force them to stop, Russian news agencies reported.
The FSB said it hadwider conflict. Ukraine denied its ships had done anything wrong, accused Russia of military aggression, and asked for the international community to mobilize to punish Russia.
The U.N. Security Council will meet on the latest developments at the request of Russia and Ukraine, diplomats said.
POROSHENKO PROPOSES MARTIAL LAW
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko met his top military and security chiefs. Poroshenko said he would propose that parliament impose martial law.
Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 and then built a giant road bridge linking it to southern Russia that straddles the Kerch Strait – a narrow stretch of water that links the Black Sea to the Sea of Azov, which is home to two of Ukraine’s most important ports.

Overlooking an empty space that looks like a disused car park or the aftermath of a nuclear bomb, is a family-run hostel called El Muniria, a white block with blue windowsills and a crenelated roof.
It was here in Room9, in the 1950s, that William Burroughs, high on drugs, wrote one of the 20th Century's most shocking novels, Naked Lunch. The book, banned under US obscenity laws, is a mixture of autobiography, science fiction and satire, peppered with descriptions of gay sex.

liberation and several of Idina’s girlfriends were divorcing their “unsatisfactory” husbands and seeking adventure abroad – the new gentlewomen explorers. In Idina’s case this was a decision that she would spend the rest of her life striving to make up for – not least because she was unable to take her two tiny sons with her. The elder of those two sons was my grandfather.
Idina’s first marriage was partly a casualty of the social upheaval of the First World War. Beforehand, extra-marital affairs had been near institutionalized amongst Britain’s Edwardian Upper Classes. There was a strict code of practice which was “you can do what you like in the bedroom, but don’t do it in the street and frighten the horses.” Absolute discretion needed to be maintained andConnect

On Tuesday, 212 of them filed an amicus brief with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in support of the bid by Williams, Thicke and rapper T.I (aka Clifford Harris Jr.) to overturn the $5.3 million final judgment.

It is possible to be intelligent and not wise.
It is also possible to become wise without having intelligence in the first place. For example, in the jataka Little Wayman was admitted into the sangha.

Jordan Spieth
If you dismissed golf as boring, then you missed out on a lot in 2015 – most of which involved the sport's newest sensation, 22-year-old Jordan Spieth. Swagged in head-to-toe Under Armour (and his new Green Jacket), Spieth's Texas charm and sexy swing had folks alternately gushing and seething with jealousy. But his looks merely garnished his athletic accomplishments, as Spieth dominated the PGA Tour. He won both the Masters and the U.S. Open, making him the first golfer in nearly 100 years to win two majors before his 22nd birthday, ascended to Number One on the World Golf Rankings and has earneda modest $31 million for his efforts, staying humble all the while – swoon. His secret? Spieth doesn't win with power, he wins with finesse and balls of steel. WM

media image was the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963. The work begins with an excerpt from the only filmed record of Kennedy's assassination: Super-8 footage shot by Abraham Zapruder, a bystander on the parade route.
Using those infamous few frames of film as their starting point, T.R. Uthco and Ant Farm construct a multi-levelled event that is simultaneously a live performance spectacle, a taped re-enactment of the assassination, a mock documentary, and, perhaps most insidiously, a simulation of the Zapruder film itself. Performed in Dealey Plaza in Dallas -- the actual site of the assassination -- the re-enactment elicits bizarre responses from the spectators, who react to the simulation as though it were the original event.
The grotesque juxtaposition of circus and tragedy calls our media "experience" and collectivememory of the actual event into question. The gulf between reality and image is foregrounded by the manifest devices of Doug Hall's impersonation of Kennedy and Michel's drag transformation into Jacqueline Kennedy. Hall, in his role as the Artist-President, addresses his audience with the ironic observation that "I am, in reality, only another image on your screen."
In the uncanny simulation of the Zapruder film, however, the impersonations are not as apparent, raising the question of the veracity of the image. Image and reality collide in a post-assassination interview; while both President Kennedy and the imagic Artist-President are dead and entered into myth, Hall discusses his role like an actor having completed a film.
Through a deconstruction of the filmic image, the artists underscore the media's importance to contemporary mythology | {
