Is the open banking revolution a fraudster's charter? A major revolution in banking took place at the weekend - but you probably won't have noticed. Under new laws, you can now ask your current account provider to share details of your income, spending habits and debts with third-party internet companies. You are also now allowed to hand over your password and log-in details to these firms. The idea is that the third party can save you money by helping you budget or shop around for cheap deals. But banks are already warning that some customers could be left out of pocket if they fall victim to fraud. Our guide to this new system, which is called Open Banking, explains everything you need to know about the shake-up - and shows the dangers of handing over the keys to your banking secrets. Share this article Share 14 shares Under new rules introduced at the weekend, banks can share information about your current account and spending habits with other companies. This includes whether you pay for your bank account, the size of your overdraft and details of any transactions and direct debits. Who gets access to this information is completely up to you. It might be that you want a price comparison website to help you find a new bank account with a better overdraft, or a budgeting app to track your spending. But whatever it is, you must give explicit permission to your bank to share your details - and you can withdraw consent at any time. Over the next 18 months, the rules will be extended to allow firms to share information about credit cards, prepaid cards and 'e-wallets' such as PayPal and Apple Pay. The competition watchdog wants banks to do more to fight for our business. Its research shows that just 3 per cent of people switch current accounts in a year. By forcing banks to share your data in a standardised, secure way, it hopes it will be easier for customers to see better deals and boost competition in the market. Only the largest nine current account providers - Allied Irish Bank, Bank of Ireland, Barclays, Danske Bank, HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, Nationwide, RBS Group and Santander - are required to share your data when asked, but others are expected to sign up voluntarily. However, despite the new rules taking effect last Saturday, only three of the nine - Allied Irish Bank, Danske Bank and Lloyds - are ready to start sharing data. The rest have been given an extension to update their systems. Most should be ready by March. If you are on a company's mailing list you may soon get requests for you to share information. Or when signing up for a new mobile phone app or applying for a new account or loan there may be a box to tick allowing access. Only customers with an online banking account will be able to share details. If you bank online and you give a third party permission to access your account information, they should spell out how they intend to use the details and how long they need access to them. When taking out a loan, the company would likely need to see a snapshot of your current account only once to assess if you can afford the repayments. But if you sign up to a budgeting app, it will need ongoing access to your data to monitor your spending. If you decide to go ahead, you will be directed to your bank or building society's online banking log-in page, where you will need to sign in and confirm that you are giving your permission. Your encrypted data will then be sent to the company. You do not need to share your online banking log-in details or passwords. You will have to give permission to each company with which you want to share your information - it is not a matter of turning on a general data-sharing button. As long as you don't give permission via your online banking, your data will not be shared. If you get unsolicited requests, you should report them. After 90 days, each firm will need to request permission again to continue using your data. You can change your mind at any time and tell your bank to stop sharing your information, or you can cancel with the firm directly. Only firms registered with the City watchdog, the Financial Conduct Authority, (or the European equivalent) can use the Open Banking system to access your data like this. Experts hope there will be a wave of clever new budgeting apps which let you see all your financial information - current accounts, credit cards and savings accounts - in one place. With access to your transaction information they could tell you where to make savings by reducing your overdraft charges, credit card interest or loan repayments. They could alert you when you're about to go into the red and move money from a savings account. Price comparison websites could use the information to help you find cheaper broadband and energy deals and give a more accurate idea of potential savings.

(WX) 654th Bombardment Squadron (Special) de Havilland Mosquito Mk XVI (BA), North American B-25 Mitchell, Martin B-26G Marauder, Douglas A-26 Invader. The 652d Bomb Squadron originated as a provisional weather reconnaissance unit that was formed at RAF St Eval in Cornwall with Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses on 8 September 1943 for conducting meteorological fights over the Atlantic Ocean. In November 1943 the unit moved to RAF Bovingdon after flying 231 weather sorties. At Bovington, the squadron was reorganized as the 8th Weather Reconnaissance Squadron on 28 March 1944, then transferred to Watton on 12 April 1944. The 653d and 654th Bomb Squadrons were established at Watton on 12 April for special weather reconnaissance missions over enemy-occupied territory in advance of bomber formations and visual coverage of target strikes. Pilots for the Mosquitos came from former Lockheed P-38 Lightning pilots of the 50th Fighter Squadron transferred from the 342d Composite Group based in Iceland. From Watton the 25th continued weather flights over the waters adjacent to the British Isles and occasionally to the Azores to obtain meteorological data along with night photographic missions to detect enemy activity; and daylight photographic and mapping missions over the Continent. Also, the group occasionally engaged in electronic-countermeasure missions in which chaff was spread to confuse enemy defences during Allied attacks. The 25th Bomb Group moved to Drew AAF, Florida during July–August 1945 and was inactivated on 8 September 1945. The group flew a total of 3,370 sorties for the loss of 15 aircraft. ===Postwar RAF use=== After the war, Watton reverted to RAF control on 27 September 1945. It was used by various flying units of RAF Signals Command, No. 199 Squadron RAF, for example being based at Watton in the early 1950s with Mosquito NF36s operating with the Central Signals Establishment, and in 1953 116 Squadron operated with Avro Lincolns, a Hasting and a number of MkII Avro Ansons. The last three Lincolns serving with No. 151 Squadron on signals duties were withdrawn in March 1963. The following squadrons and units were based at Watton at some point during this time: No. 51 Squadron RAF reformed at Watton on 21 August 1958 with the English Electric Canberra Mks B.2 and B.6 and the de Havilland Comet C.2(R). The squadron also started the Handley Page Hastings C.1 from February 1963 however shortly after this on 31 March 1963 the squadron moved to RAF Wyton. No. 97 Squadron RAF reformed here on 25 May 1963 with the Vickers Varsity T.1, Canberra Mk B.2 and the Hastings C.2. On 2 January 1967 the squadron was disbanded here. No. 98 Squadron RAF between 1 October 1963 and 17 April 1969 with the Canberra B.2 before moving to RAF Cottesmore. No. 115 Squadron RAF between 1 October 1963 and 9 April 1969 when the squadron moved to RAF Cottesmore. The squadron operated the Varsity T.1, Vickers Valetta C.1, Hastings C.2 and Armstrong Whitworth Argosy E.1. No. 116 Squadron RAF between 1 August 1952 and 21 August 1958. The squadron reformed here when 'N' Calibration Squadron was redesignated with the Avro Anson C.19, Avro Lincoln B.2, Hastings C.1 and the Varsity T.1. 116 Squadron was renumbered to 115 Squadron on 21 August 1958. No. 151 Squadron RAF reformed here on 1 January 1962 being designated from the Signals Development Squadron. 151 Squadron operated the Lincoln B.2, Hastings C.1 & C.2, Varsity T.1 and the Canberra B.2 before being disbanded on 25 May 1963 still at Watton. No. 192 Squadron RAF reformed at Watton on 15 July 1951. The squadron operated the Mosquito PR 34, Lincoln B.2, Boeing Washington B Mk 1, Canberra B.2 & B.6, Varsity T.1 and the Comet C.2(R). 192 Squadron were disbanded on 21 August 1958 still at Watton. No. 199 Squadron RAF reformed here on 15 July 1951 operating the Lincoln B.2 and the Mosquito NF 36 before moving to RAF Hemswell on 17 April 1952. No. 245 Squadron RAF reformed at Watton on 21 August 1958 with the Canberra B.2 before moving to RAF Tangmere on 25 August 1958. No. 263 Squadron RAF operated Bristol Bloodhound I anti-aircraft missiles from 1 June 1959 to 30 June 1963. No.

== redirect to tesseract == Resolved I changed the redirect from measure polytope to Tesseract. I agree a hypercube can imply HIGHER polytopes than a tesseract, but 99% of the time I expect people MEAN a 4-polytope, so I judge it better to link to tesseract specifically and let readers go to the more general (family) secondly from there. Tom Ruen Since my redirect was reversed, I removed the redirect and put two links in here. I still disagree - I NEVER mean "n-dimensional hypercubes" and say hypercube since that is ambiguous what I mean. I'd say n-cube or n-hypercube or n-measure polytope. If there's no dimension offer I assert 4 is implied. Tom Ruen I disagree. I ALWAYS mean the general case when I say "hypercube", and would specify 4-dimensional if that's what I mean. I don't think 4d is the default, and I think [should be the preferred name for what is now

The one site Kolfage does claim to be "associated with," Right Wing News, features a chief operating officer on its website named "Steven Smith," whose headshot is a reverse image of a stock photo. Kolfage declined to provide biographical details or contact information for Smith, who former employees allege does not exist. Kolfage is listed as the site's social media strategist. Kolfage told NBC news that Smith is real, but operates the website anonymously for fear of threats to his family "from the left." FreedomDaily was part of a network of websites operating under the umbrella of "Liberty Alliance," a Christian online media empire that hosts and serves advertising on the websites of the far-right's loudest and most partisan voices. FreedomDaily and other right-wing content makers under Liberty Alliance would swap hyperpartisan content to attract readers and frequently trafficked in far-right propaganda and false articles. FreedomDailyshut downin February 2018, the same month the site was sued for publishing an article that had falsely identified the driver of the car thatkilled a protestor during a "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017. While several of the other defendants have paid settlements to the incorrectly identified person, lawyers for the plaintiff told NBC News they were still trying to find the FreedomDaily's owner to enforce a default entry against the site. FreedomDaily's owner failed to respond to the lawsuit. Kolfage and his editor-in-chief, the conservative blogger Jeff Rainforth, moved on to a new site, Right Wing News. Kolfage bought already-popular and verified Facebook pages from the conservative commentator John Hawkins, who operated a "Right Wing News" site with a different web address, according to former Kolfage employees and Hawkins' public accounts. Just as his new business was growing - Kolfage claimed he spent $300,000 on ads to attract some 3.5 million followers - Facebook removed the pages associated with Kolfage's websites in October as part of a crack down on "inauthentic behavior." Cut off from the major source of his audience, Kolfage appeared to revert to a previous tactic - tapping his growing list of email subscribers. Politics as usual After his Facebook ban, Kolfage started a GoFundMe page imploring people to donate to help him "stop social media censorship." As the donations poured in - he's raised $73,000 through the campaign and an undisclosed amount via a new landing page he set up to receive donations directly - he urged supporters to sign his petition. "We need 1 Million signatures to take to the White House!" his site stated. As of Friday, the censorship campaign has collected over 31,000 emails, a number dwarfed by 3.5 million signatures and emails he's collected with the campaign to build the wall. Joe Trippi, who is widely credited with pioneering campaign email lists on former New Hampshire Gov. Howard Dean's presidential campaign in 2004, said that #GoFundTheWall's tactics mirror email-collecting projects he's seen from both parties. He called 3.5 million signatures collected in less than a month "a really big number," even by current standards. "Whether it was Howard Dean or Rand Paul or John McCain, there's a pretty short period between 2003 and 2010 where this stuff tended to be pretty organic and idealistic," Trippi said. "They legitimately cared about the issues. We looked it at as a real democracy-building thing." Trippi said that the practice of building email lists has since been co-opted by people looking to make money off politically active people. "Pick your day in between there, but somewhere it got commoditized," he said. What Kolfage will do with the signatures isn't clear and he and his representatives declined to talk about them on the record, but his options extend past the dissemination of fake news. Kolfage's ties to Liberty Alliance could prove useful in monetizing his email list. During the rise of the tea party, Liberty Alliance's owner, Brandon Vallorani, perfected the art of publishing conservative content alongside merchandise - collecting one of politics' most valuable email lists along the way. Vallorani and representatives for Liberty Alliance did not respond to requests for comment. The selling of email lists in political circles has become standard practice. As a residential candidate, Hillary Clinton turned over her email list of about 10 million people to the Democratic National Committee in April 2017. The list was valued by the FEC at $3.5 million. Trump's list of 20 million supporters is reportedly for sale.

Drumstick, Connoisseur workers freeze overtime in effort to lick casual pay-cut plan Loading Overtime at the site was common and the overtime ban would slow production but Peters did not foresee substantial disruptions to its supplies, said the source, who spoke anonymously due to the confidentiality of negotiations. The company overwhelmingly lost a staff vote on its initial pay proposal in April. It has since proposed a $26.95 hourly base rate for casuals, which comes with a 25 per cent loading, and a 5 per cent pay rise over three years for other workers, according to another source familiar with the negotiations. Peters' permanent staff are holding out for a 7.5 per cent pay rise over three years. The dispute shows pay negotiations remain tense even as the economy recovers from the pandemic, which did not hit food manufacturing as hard as many other industries. "Productivity at Peters is up, or equal, to previous years and yet this multimillion-dollar company is looking to slash the wages of Victoria's insecure workforce," said the workers' representative, Neil Smith, from the United Workers Union. "We call on Peters to respect the sacrifices essential workers have made for them and provide a fair wage increase and secure employment." The affected casuals do the most basic duties at the plant, including packing ice cream boxes.

Sharks and crocodiles eat whale carcass on Montgomery Reef Skipper on Montgomery Reef used a drone to record footage of a feeding frenzy He spotted saltwater a croc and a tiger shark feeding on the same whale carcass Sight set to become more common as the whale population continues to thrive By Yael Brender For Daily Mail Australia This is the astonishing moment that a shark and crocodile were seen feasting on a humpback whale carcass. A lucky skipper was treated to the incredibly rare spectacle on Tuesday when the tourist cruise he was on floated near a huge dead humpback whale on the remote Montgomery Reef in northern Western Australia. As the vessel drew closer, Jeremy Tucker rushed to launch a drone to record footage of the unusual, gruesome dinner party where a saltwater crocodile and a tiger shark were feeding side-by-side. 'It was really interesting to see how the crocodile and the tiger shark were interacting,' he said. And Mr Tucker said that sights like this will probably become more frequent as the whale population successfully returning to pre-hunting levels, according to the ABC. Share this article Share 31 shares Australia's west coast humpback whale population is now regarded as one of the healthiest in the world. The population boom is also providing more frequent feasts for animals that feed on the whales as they migrate between Antarctica and the Kimberley, so tourists out on the reef can expect to see plenty of wildlife in the water.

Nvidia's Arm deal might hit a snag with China The proposal from Nvidia (NVDA) to buy SoftBank-owned (SFTBF) Arm for $40 billion requires regulatory approval from the United Kingdom, the European Union, the United States and China. But universal approval isn't guaranteed. And there's already an indication that China might not be happy about an American firm owning an important and strategic player in the semiconductor industry. An op-ed published this week in The Global Times, a state-run Chinese tabloid, characterized California-based Nvidia's deal for Arm as "disturbing" for the Chinese and European tech companies that rely on the company's advanced chip designs. "If Arm falls into US hands, Chinese technology companies would certainly be placed at a big disadvantage in the market," read the op-ed. Chinese regulators haven't spoken publicly about the deal, but state-run media is often viewed as a barometer of sentiment among senior officials. And China's influence is key: The last time a semiconductor deal of this size was attempted, it failed. In 2018, Beijing declined to approve American chip company Qualcomm's (QCOM) proposed $44 billion takeover Dutch counterpart NXP. Given the ongoing trade tensions between the United States and China, "we believe that obtaining all necessary global regulatory approvals will be challenging," Citi analysts Atif Malik and Amanda Scarnati wrote in a note on Monday. Nvidia and Arm said they expect that the deal will take 18 months to close, "which we believe signals that they expect a protracted and detailed review by [the Ministry of Commerce] in China," the analysts added. Tightening US restrictions Semiconductors power everything from smartphones to self-driving cars. The industry has consolidated over the years because designing and manufacturing cutting edge computer chips requires huge amounts of cash for research and development. Arm, which is based in Cambridge and is known as one of Britain's most successful tech companies, designs chips used by Samsung, Apple (AAPL) and other major smartphone makers. Many leading Chinese semiconductor design firms - such as Huawei subsidiary HiSilicon - use Arm intellectual property for their cutting edge designs, too. "Arm has been really useful for China because UK [export] rules are a bit more lax," said James Lewis, senior vice president and director of the Technology Policy Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). Nvidia and Arm have offered reassurances that the British firm will remain neutral. As part of Nvidia, Arm will continue "maintaining the global customer neutrality that has been foundational to its success," the companies said in a statement announcing the deal on Sunday. But if Arm is acquired by an American company, it would likely be subject to US regulations - and Washington has been increasingly using export controls to cut Chinese tech firms off from key technology. "If they moved to Nvidia they would fall under American export rules which have significantly tightened over the last few years," Lewis said. Earlier this year the United States issued fresh sanctions against Huawei that restricted the Chinese tech company from buying chips from semiconductor manufacturers that use American machinery, software or technology. Analysts called the move a "lethal blow" and a "death sentence" for Huawei, which needs leading edge chips to power its smartphone and telecommunications gear. The US Department of Defense and other government agencies are also reportedly considering banning exports to SMIC, China's biggest chipmaker, which would significantly hamper Beijing's efforts to build an advanced domestic semiconductor industry. "Control over Arm by a US company could mean potentially more restrictions on use of Arm technology by Chinese firms that come under new export controls or other US regulatory action," said Paul Triolo, head of geo-technology at Eurasia Group. He added that Chinese regulatory officials will likely "be looking for some conditions to place on the deal" to preserve access to that intellectual property. Arm has a joint venture in China, which is developing its own capacity for semiconductor intellectual property design, and Chinese regulators could "require Arm China to be spun off" to ensure it doesn't come under US regulatory action, he said. Winning over China Analysts at brokerage firm Morningstar point out that Nvidia received the green light from Chinese regulators earlier this year for its $7 billion acquisition of US-firm Mellanox, which sells networking and storage equipment. But "the magnitude and significance of this potential deal [to acquire Arm] will undergo heightened scrutiny, in our view," Abhinav Davuluri, sector strategist with Morningstar, wrote in a note on Tuesday. The Global Times op-ed asked regulators to "extensively investigate and study the potential implications behind the deal," adding that the "stakes behind the deal are high." The "possibility that Arm could be politicized as a US technology weapon against China's technology companies must be taken seriously," the op-ed said.

Model's spending $58k to silence the haters, proving her bum isn't fake Having a naturally perky bum isn't always a blessing, as model Jessica Rast admits she's constantly bombarded by people who say hers is fake. Now she's on a mission to prove that hers is the real deal, and the Canadian woman, who's graced the cover of Maxim Australia, is willing to fork out AU$58k to do it. Jessica said it makes her angry that fans don't believe her "round and cheerful" butt is natural and that she's worked hard to get it looking this way. So splashing the cash on a plastic surgeon who'll provide a certificate might be the only way to put an end to the negative comments - and she's willing to do what it takes. RELATED: Designer hits back after being bum shamed "Many people say that my butt is fake because it is so round and cheerful," he said. "Honestly, these comments really get to me because I was accused of things that are not true, it really upsets me." "My body is natural. I work a lot at the gym with my personal trainer," she added. The Maxim model also said her perky posterior is a result of a vegan diet and healthy eating, which helps her stay in shape. "I mainly eat a vegan diet, but occasionally, rarely, I also eat some seafood," she explained. "In addition, I was a professional figure skater and rigorous training from an early age shaped my body." Just recently, the brunette beauty was so irritated by the constant accusations that she showed an x-ray of her behind on Instagram. She said she was so fed-up and added: "I want to put an end to this, I hope it will resolve it finally." According to her Instagram, the Canadian native currently lives in Bali, Indonesia and regularly shares barley-there snaps on her Instagram where she has 372k followers.

Trump's Still Breaking Norms at a Dizzying Pace (And Yes, It Still Matters) First Read is your briefing from Meet the Press and the NBC Political Unit on the day's most important political stories and why they matter Trump is still breaking political norms at a dizzying pace (and yes, it matters) President Trump is still lacking his first major legislative achievement, and he had the rockiest first 100 days in modern times. But Trump has made this one significant change since taking office - he's shattered more norms that would have shocked past presidents, Democrats or Republicans. Consider what happened on Tuesday: He said Washington needs a "good'shutdown' in September: Battling the perception that congressional Democrats rolled over the White House and GOP in the spending deal, Trump tweeted: "The reason for the plan negotiated between the Republicans and Democrats is that we need 60 votes in the Senate which are not there! We.... either elect more Republican Senators in 2018 or change the rules now to 51%. Our country needs a good'shutdown' in September to fix mess!" He turned honoring Air Force's football team into a political event: "Coach Calhoun, you and your team had quite a season. Like good Air Force guys, you flew under the radar to victory... This week, our Republican team had its own victory under the radar. That is a very important thing for the men and women of the United States military," Trump said at the White House, with student-athletes FROM A MILITARY SERVICE ACADEMY in the background. "To top that, we achieved the single largest increase in border security funding in 10 years. So we have more money now for the border than we've gotten in 10 years. The Democrats didn't tell you that." He said his own FBI director gave Hillary Clinton "a free pass" and that the FBI's current investigation is "phony": And in response to Hillary Clinton's earlier assertion Tuesday that FBI Director Comey and WikiLeaks helped defeat her in November, Trump tweeted, "FBI Director Comey was the best thing that ever happened to Hillary Clinton in that he gave her a free pass for many bad deeds! The phony... Trump/Russia story was an excuse used by the Democrats as justification for losing the election. Perhaps Trump just ran a great campaign?" Now many of Trump supporters voted for him to smash these kinds of political norms. And he's accomplished that. But imagine any other president, Republican or Democrat, extolling the need for a government shutdown, or using a football team from a service academy as a prop to score political points, or charging that the nation's FBI director (who just happens to be investigating if Trump's campaign had contacts with Russian entities) is conducting a "phony" investigation. (How is that not obstruction of justice?) And that was just Tuesday. Yes, Trump is shattering norms. And too many of us are shrugging our shoulders. Guess who's back on Capitol Hill? - James Comey By the way, speaking of Comey, the FBI director just happens to testify today before the Senate Judiciary Committee as part of the committee's oversight of the FBI. And here is what Comey said back in March: "I have been authorized by the Department of Justice to confirm that the FBI, as part of our counterintelligence mission, is investigating the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election," he stated. "And that includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government -- and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia's efforts." Rank-and-file Republicans are contradicting Trump/Ryan on pre-existing conditions NBC's Kristen Welker reports that President Trump will meet at the White House with at least two House Republicans who have publicly said they are opposed to the GOP health-care bill: Billy Long of Missouri and Fred Upton of Michigan. And what's extraordinary about the opposition from Long and Upton is that both men are contradicting the argument from the White House and GOP leadership that the revived effort protects pre-existing conditions. "I have always stated that one of the few good things about ObamaCare is that people with pre-existing conditions would be covered," Long said. "The MacArthur amendment strips away any guarantee that pre-existing conditions would be covered and affordable." And here's Upton, per the New York Times: "Mr. Upton said the latest version of the health care bill 'torpedoes' protections for people with pre-existing medical conditions." Contrast those Long and Upton comments with House Speaker Paul Ryan's tweet from yesterday: "VERIFIED: MacArthur Amendment strengthens AHCA, protects people with pre-existing conditions." The 21 Republicans who are against the renewed House health-care bill Note: The GOP can afford only 22 defections (assuming no Democrat votes for the legislation): Charlie Dent (R-PA) David Young (R-IA) Patrick Meehan (R-PA)

Members include Cosmicbot (a cyborg based on magnetism, modelled on Cosmic Boy), Titangirl (the combined psychic energy of all Titanians, based on Saturn Girl), Implicate Girl (who contains the abilities of all three trillion Carggites in her "third eye", very loosely based on Triplicate Girl), Brainiac 417 (a disembodied intelligence, based on Brainiac 5 and Apparition), the M'onelves (who combine the powers of M'onel and Shrinking Violet) and barely humanoid versions of Umbra and Chameleon. Justice Legion S consists of numerous Superboy clones, all with different powers. Members include Superboy 820 (with aquatic powers), Superboy 3541 (who can increase his size) and Superboy One Million (who can channel any of their powers through "the Eye"). They all (most notably One Million) resemble OMAC as much as Superboy. This was an intentional pun, as the title of the story was "One Million And Counting", which referred to the 1 million clones and formed the OMAC acronym. Justice Legion T is based on Young Justice. Members include Superboy One Million (as referred to above), Robin the Toy Wonder (an optimistic robot sidekick to the 853rd century Batman) and Impulse (the living embodiment of random thoughts lost in the Speed Force). Justice Legion Z (for Zoomorphs) is based on the Legion of Super-Pets. Members include Proty One Million and Master Mind. A version of Comet the Super-Horse is also a member. ==Other characters== Several other futuristic versions of DC characters appeared in the crossover, including: the Atom Azrael Booster Gold Catwoman Charade City Gunfire Lex Luthor Supergirl Captain Marvel ==Later references== In 2008, 10 years after the crossover, an issue of Booster Gold (vol. 2) was published as Booster Gold #1,000,000 and was announced as an official DC One Million tie-in by DC Comics. This comic introduced Peter Platinum, the Booster Gold of the 853rd century. Grant Morrison's All-Star Superman miniseries made several references to the DC One Million miniseries. The Superman from DC One Million makes an appearance and the series ends with Superman becoming an energy being who resides in the Sun after his body has been supercharged with yellow solar energy (similar in appearance to Superman-Prime) and Solaris makes an appearance as well. Morrison's Batman #700 also briefly shows the One Million Batman and his sidekick—Robin, the Toy Wonder—alongside a number of future iterations of Batman. The One Million Batman, Robin the Toy Wonder and One Million Superman play a significant role in Superman/Batman #79–80, in which Epoch battles Batmen and Supermen from various time periods. By signing into WBID account in the video game Arkham Origins, the costume of the One Million version of Batman will be unlocked for use. ==Awards== The original miniseries was a top vote-getter for the Comics Buyer's Guide Fan Award for Favorite Limited Series for 1999.

Wolf grills ICE leader: Is this policy humane?

2018-12-31 00:00:00

He said: 'We wouldn't - the police prosecuted him, we didn't. At the time I think we were getting audiences of something like 13 or 14 million. 'We sold it to 132 countries around the world - America, Australia, India etc - so why would we go out on a limb to try and prosecute one of these guys? 'Of course we thought he was guilty, no question! And nothing has changed my mind to be honest. It was very well done though!' Explaining the reason behind his opinion that they were guilty of the crime, Chris said: 'I've always said, I saw nothing. But the studio that night was like a madhouse. 'People were screaming and gasping just because he was so, you know he's a serving British Army Major who's on, I don't know £30k a year... 'Rented accommodation or whatever, and he's going 'Oh yes £500,000, let's risk it, let's play' and all this and you think 'why would you do that?' 'And he was so hard to follow! He was going 'Er, Berlin, Berlin, Berlin, I think it's Berlin. Ah, no it's not, it's Paris' and I'm going 'Hang on, so this is your final answer, Paris?' so I am so focused on this guy thinking you know 'what is your final answer and how far are you going and are you really risking that amount of money?' 'The studio was like a madhouse. People were screaming, people were coughing everywhere because people always cough in studios, so I didn't hear Tecwen! 'Afterwards I had to sit through the floor squad the next day and go through the tapes and it's like 'oh my god, what is going on!'

Montia howellii is a species of flowering plant in the family Montiaceae known by the common names Howell's miner's lettuce and Howell's montia. It is native to western North America from British Columbia to northern California, where it grows in moist to wet habitat, including vernal pools and meadows. It sometimes grows in shallow standing water such as puddles. The species is known from fossilized seeds recovered from sediments of the Pleistocene Tomales Formation and from a small paleoflora at San Bruno. Further, Daniel Axelrod discussed Montia howellii as one of the biogeographically significant species comprising the Millerton paleoflora at Tomales. ==Description== It is a small, low, mat-forming annual herb growing up to about 9 centimeters in maximum length. The linear or lance-shaped, sometimes grasslike, leaves are alternately arranged and measure up to 2.5 centimeters in length. The inflorescence bears 2 to 6 minute flowers with oval green sepals no more than 2 millimeters long and white petals less than a millimeter in length. The flower is usually cleistogamous, self-fertilizing and sometimes never even opening. ==References== ==External links== Flora North America Treatment Jepson Manual Treatment Photo gallery howellii Flora of California Flora of the West Coast of the United States

Photo Robert De Niro, an actor and co-founder of Tribeca Film Festival, at a press luncheon during the festival yesterday. Credit Slaven Vlasic/Getty Images for Tribeca Film Festival The Tribeca Film Festival continues today with a full slate of screenings, talks and events through April 29. With nearly 100 films on offer, we reached out to Stephanie Goodman, the Times's film editor, for a few documentary films to put on our radar: "Love, Gilda." "I have a soft spot for Gilda Radner - who doesn't? - but I didn't actually know much about her beyond her "Saturday Night Live" characters Roseanne Roseannadanna and Emily Litella," said Ms. Goodman. ""Love, Gilda," ranges from her childhood in Detroit to her New York success, marriage to Gene Wilder and untimely death. I came away with a much stronger understanding of who she was both as a woman and a multitalented performer." "The Rachel Divide." The Rachel in the title is Rachel Dolezal, the former N.A.A.C.P. leader who was passing as African-American and set off a national debate over identity. The complexities of the controversy engrossed me at the time, and this film is a post-controversy look at Ms. Dolezal and her family. (Pro tip from Ms. Goodman: The film screens on Netflix starting April 27.) "McQueen." I don't know much about fashion, but I dig fashion documentaries like "The September Issue" and "Valentino: The Last Emperor." Whether "McQueen is in the same league remains to be seen. It's about the life and work of Alexander McQueen, the provocative designer who killed himself in 2010. The film features interviews with his friends and family, along with a glimpse of his archives." Times vary and tickets begin at $12. Want a few more recommendations?

On September 20, 1928, Faulkner received a contract for the book, now to be called Sartoris (no one knows who changed its name), which was to be about 110,000 words long, and which was to be delivered to Harcourt, Brace sixteen days later. Faulkner left immediately for New York, presumably to help Wasson with his revision. But when he sat down in Wasson's apartment to observe the operation on his novel, Faulkner found himself unable to participate. If it were cut, he felt, it would die. Wasson persisted, however, pointing out that the trouble with Flags in the Dust was that it was not one novel, but six, all struggling along simultaneously. This, to Faulkner, was praise: evidence of fecundity and fullness of vision, evidence that the world of Yoknapatawpha was rich enough to last. As he later wrote of his third novel, "I discovered that my own little postage stamp of native soil was worth writing about and that I would never live long enough to exhaust it." Nevertheless, Wasson kept his bargain with Alfred Harcourt. For the next two weeks, while Faulkner sat nearby writing The Sound and the Fury, Wasson went through the typescript of Flags in the Dust, making cuts of every sort until almost a fourth of the book had been excised. Harcourt, Brace published this truncated version on January 31, 1929, as Sartoris (with a dedication: "To Sherwood Anderson through whose kindness I was first published, with a belief that this book will give him no reason to regret that fact"), and the old Flags in the Dust was soon forgotten – by everyone but Faulkner. Faulkner had preserved the original holograph manuscript of Flags in the Dust, 237 pages in his neat but minuscule and almost illegible hand; and he had bound together with thin wire the 596 pages of a sort of composite typescript of the novel, produced by the combination of three separate but overlapping typescript drafts. The first draft, 447 pages long, seems to have been begun before he completed his manuscript version. The second, 99 pages of which are in the composite typescript, was probably written after he had completed the manuscript and the first typescript. In the third, 146 pages appear to have been a revision of the second typescript. Why Faulkner should have labored over the reconstruction of his text, is not clear: perhaps he thought of his composite typescript as a working draft which would allow him ultimately to restore to his novel that which Wasson had carved from it – or perhaps, fastidious as he was, he simply could not bring himself to throw away all of those typed pages. The manuscript and typescript were eventually deposited at the Alderman Library of the University of Virginia, where they lay more or less undisturbed until Mrs. Jill Summers, Faulkner's daughter, remembered that her late father had spoken often of a restoration of Flags in the Dust. Mrs. Summers asked Douglas Day and Albert Erskine Jr., editor at Random House, to undertake the task. Flags in the Dust aims at being a faithful reproduction of that composite typescript. Certain non-substantive alterations in spelling and punctuation have been made, in order to bring the novel into conformity with Faulkner's other books; but wherever possible his many idiosyncrasies, especially those on which he himself insisted during his years of working with editors at Random House, were allowed to stand. The final complete typescript, which must have served as setting copy for the Harcourt, Brace edition of Sartoris (and which must have been the draft in which Wasson made his cuts), has not survived. Nor have any galley proofs. There was no way for anyone to tell which of the many differences between Flags in the Dust and Sartoris were the result of Faulkner's emendations in the hypothetical setting copy and the galley proofs, and which belonged to Wasson. Faulkner firmly believed Flags in the Dust was better than Sartoris. ==References== ==External links== Flags in the Dust at Digital Yoknapatawpha 1927 American novels Novels by William Faulkner 1973 American novels Novels set in Mississippi Random House books

She claimed he refused, then invited his friends to join in. She told police she finally fled naked and found her friends. Police arrested the 12 Israelis, aged between 16 and 19, and took DNA samples. Five were later released but seven remained under arrest - until they too were freed after the teenager was asked to return to the police station. A Cyprus court ordered seven Israelis to be detained after a 19-year-old British woman alleged that she was raped in Ayia NapaCredit: AP:Associated Press The girl, still feeling the effects of medication doctors gave her, said police initially said they wanted to take another statement. She went to the station voluntarily - only to find herself accused of inventing the attack. The student claims one officer warned her that police would go after her friends if she did not confess. She messaged them to say: "Bad things with police. "They think it's a conspiracy and they threatened an international arrest warrant to arrest you all for it." One friend replied: "WTF. What the hell." The teenager said she held out against signing the dictated confession but eventually gave in. She was charged at 2.30am. Within hours police announced she had changed her story not once but twice - first withdrawing her rape claim and then saying she had been filmed without consent. The Israelis were released and allowed to fly home. But footage of them celebrating at Israel's Ben Gurion airport by drinking champagne and chanting "The Brit is a whore" triggered an angry reaction among Jewish commentators. Jewish Chronicle columnist Miriam Shaviv described the group as "scumbags who treated a woman like a piece of meat." A grainy sex recording from the night of the alleged attack was also leaked to the Israeli media. It reportedly shows one Is­raeli telling the girl in Hebrew, "You're my whore. Say you're my whore." When she asks what he is saying, another boy replies: "We are saying you're sexy." Israeli tourists, suspected of raping a 19-year-old British girl in Ayia Napa, leave the court after a hearing in the eastern Cypriot resort of Paralimni on July 26, 2019Credit: AFP or licensors Police reports of the incident seen by The Sun have also raised further questions about the conduct of the investigation Medical examinations of two Israelis found "suspicious scratches" and bruises on their backs and chests, as if they had been in a struggle. They told detectives they had been attacked at the hotel by the girl's friends. The hotel's manager insisted no such fight took place. An early police report noted how "suspect No1" - the teenager's holiday fling partner - had changed his story. Another Israeli recalled meeting five of his friends heading towards the room 30 minutes before the alleged attack occurred. When suspect No1 was asked what his plans were, he allegedly said the girl was coming to the room for "an orgy." As his four friends laughed, he is said to have added: "Everyone will have sex with her." The teenager, who grew up in rural Derbyshire, is described by friends as popular and "party loving." She had been in Ayia Napa on a working holiday for a fortnight before the alleged attack - staying at the two-star Pambos Napa Rocks hotel. The Israeli group, some having a last break before three years" military service, were also at the hotel, which is well known for its pool parties. A source said: "They were living it up, ogling the girls round the poolside and shouting things to each other in Hebrew like "All English girls are hookers!"" Lust resort AYIA Napa is popular with Israeli tourists and soldiers on leave - looking to let off steam in the resort famous for sun, sea, sand and sex. The town - once the site of a medieval monastery - has more than 90 clubs and bars which are packed with partying tourists during summer. It is particularly popular with holidaymakers from Israel because it is cheap and easy to reach. During the summer months temperatures average at around 91F (33C) - with 27 local beaches to pick from. A pint of lager in the party district costs as little as £2.50 and meals are as cheap as £7.30.

Tourists reveal scams they've fallen victim to When travelling, holidaymakers can face an unfortunate reality if they don't have their wits about them. Tourists who are conspicuous and vulnerable make for easy targets to criminally-minded locals, who are able to exploit their unfamiliarity with the location and its customs. Travellers who have fallen prey to con artists and thieves - who often perform a practised routine of distraction - have revealed how they were duped in an online thread. Read on for some of the strategies implemented across the world. Throwing bird faeces or spilling food on you There are several variants on this theme of soiling your clothing, revealed members of online community Quora on a thread. One member shared that they had heard of a victim having fake pigeon faeces thrown at them and then as someone offered to towel them down "they steal his wallet in the chaos." One veteran traveller shared a first-hand experience of this in Sao Paulo, Brazil. John Thekkayyam said: "I had stopped at a cart selling street food and while I was eating a sandwich, a man and a woman came, ordered and began to eat. 'The woman managed to upset her plate over the front of my shirt and she pulled out a handkerchief and began to rub off the ketchup vigorously and she was standing so close and I was protesting saying it's alright but she continued rubbing me down. I have to say it was a bit erotic, her closeness and while I was thus distracted, my wallet was taken." Dropping a pair of keys The original anonymous Quora poster shared a reverse technique, which forces the tourist to help a stranger, inadvertently becoming their victim. They said: 'The victim is sitting on a bench with a backpack. The thief is listening to music, passing by and lets his keys fall out of his pockets. The victim picks them up, runs behind him and forgets about his backpack.' Californian backpacker Zachary Reiss-Davis explained why this technique is often successful. He said: '[It is] playing on helpfulness: Anything that makes the mark feel like a hero. Someone falling off their bike, someone dropping their keys, someone asking to see your map, asking you to take a picture of them, can all be distractions.' "Finding" and offering you a wallet or a ring Another common scenario, Mr Reiss-Davis divulged, was the scam which 'plays on greed' offering tourists a deal which is 'too good to be true' whether it's a free ticket for a show or 'finding' and handing you a valuable item. Anya May, a tour operator, warned: 'There is the gold ring or lost wallet scam where a person finds a gold ring and offers it to you.' While you're distracted, your wallet is likely to go missing. The ankle grab It can be so surprising when anyone forces themselves upon you that it's easy to lose sight of your belongings. Mr Thekkayyam shared another incident where he fell victim to thieves, this time in Rio de Janeiro on a crowded bus. He said: "I heard the sound of coins dropping at my feet and a man standing next to me squatted down on the floor and grabbed one of my ankles very tightly. 'I tried to shake him off but he was like holding on as if his life was in danger. I got irritated and shouted at him to let go and then suddenly he left my leg and stood up next to me at an angle where I couldn't see his face. I was so relieved, my ankle was hurting from his grip, and all my attention was there." When he got off the bus, his money was gone. The man had worked with an accomplice. The hotel hustle In the confusion of hotel check in, if tourists aren't vigilant they can fall victim to thieves the minute they step off their transfer. Veteran traveller Chris Huffman explained: "It is check-in time (which usually coincides not too far from check-out), and a bus pulls up with 80 passengers. "All of the sudden, men/women are hustling your luggage to the front desk area. Some are not hotel employees so your baggage does not get in to the lobby.' Slot machine mayhem There's nothing quite as distracting as playing on the slot machines, which clever thieves know how to take advantage of. A police officer, Tim Dees, revealed how some people make their "winnings" at a casino. He said: "Women often place their purses between two slot machines as they play the machines. The machines are usually arranged in banks of 10-20 machines, with two rows back to back. One member of the team will ask the victim something about the machine or the game, or will spill a quantity of coins or something else on the floor.

The Power of the Advice Columnist Landers and Dear Abby intended to serve their readerships: "Back then, people wanted to blend in," Jeanne Phillips, who took over Dear Abby for her mother officially in 2002, told The Atlantic. "What they wanted to do was be the best American they could be, and that's how the column evolved." But their mode of help, of course, re-inscribed the norms that hurt so many in the first place. Dix was more progressive: She was a suffragist who openly supported women's causes, and even floated the idea of wages for housework, 50 years before Silvia Federici. But "she was far too cynical to advocate, or even imagine, far-reaching social change," Weisberg writes. "She accepted that women were screwed and made herself available to hear their complaints." Advice columnists answer questions about love, life, death, abuse - the gamut of sufferings one can verbalize to a famous stranger. In prescribing an attitude and a course of action, they prescribe a worldview. Judith Martin, aka Miss Manners, who started her column in 1978, mostly answers questions about conduct, but her responses feel somehow more humanistic than her predecessors. Her interest is not in formal etiquette, and she doesn't only concern herself with matters like thank-you cards or wedding plans, though she might argue that these minor matters can have major repercussions: "Serving as the language and currency of civility," she writes, etiquette reduces those inevitable frictions of everyday life that, unchecked, are increasingly erupting into the outbursts of private and public violence so readily evident in fractured families, stymied legislatures, drop-of-the-hat lawsuits, road rage, and other unwelcome by-products of a manners-free existence. Her advice is not primarily meant to impose a system of conduct, but rather to serve the greater purpose of helping people avoid wounding each other, and to assist people in treating each other with dignity, partly by identifying when dignity is at stake. "Miss Manners says that etiquette shouldn't be complicated, that it's simply a matter of treating people with respect," Weisberg writes. "The minor details, the holding of forks and doors, are a side note; few people will notice social peccadillos if you commit to the Golden Rule." (To the question, "What is the correct way to address someone who has a terminal illness?" Miss Manners responded, simply, "As a living human being.") "Politeness" has bad associations, for good reasons: As many have noted, it's generally invoked to maintain the supremacy of a dominant group, or to shut down conversations that make members of that group uncomfortable, or as a substitute for meaningful action that might cause discomfort or hurt feelings. Or else, it means nothing: Why would etiquette matter in the face of real violation? Of course, human levels of upset aren't always commensurate with the size of the offense, sometimes because people are irrational, and sometimes because an offense that might seem trifling to the offender has a vast root system they're ignorant of, or willfully ignoring. Like Ann Landers and Dear Abby in their heyday, Martin addresses a readership confused about the right way to behave, but her definition of "right" is closer to morally relevant - something is wrong because it causes harm, not because it challenges received notions of normalcy. In her chapter on William Alcott, a vegetarian lifestyle advocate and abolitionist who believed that a meat-free diet would improve people's morals, Weisberg refers to the definition of manners provided by Samuel Wells in his 1856 manual How to Behave: the "spontaneous recognition of human solidarity." The idea transcends its context. "Politeness" is not obedience, but a mutable constant and an executive function, a commitment to paying respect through meaningful attention to other people. This undertaking evades most attempts to systematize it, which is why it helps to have competent mediators. Manners are by no means a sufficient approach to social problems, but they are an axis across which a more complex issue might be, limitedly but helpfully, understood. At the very least they can distill issues that strike some as "partisan" into the matters of basic humanity that they are. The principle that you shouldn't do something to someone that they don't want you to do to them, for instance, is simple enough in most social contexts. Applied to sex, it challenges toxic, inherited assumptions that were rarely examined until recently, and routinely do serious harm. There will always be people who do serious harm regardless of whether they know what they're doing is wrong, but etiquette, by this notion, offers some guidance here, too - namely that a respect for human dignity requires defying those hell-bent on violating the dignity of others.

Better yet, the bloc has responded to the crisis by tweaking the architecture of the single currency in ways that should bolster its international attractiveness. A big step was the creation of the NGEU scheme and the subsequent bond issuance. The bonds are backed, in effect, by the balance-sheet of all EU member states, thus making them roughly similar to America's Treasury bonds. This is a relative novelty in Europe, where borrowing has mostly been done by national governments, whose creditworthiness varies. The new pan-EU bond creates a way for investors to save in euros without taking credit risk (as they might were they lending to Italy, say). The absence of such a "safe asset" had been one element hampering the use of the euro internationally. All manner of cross-border operations, from central-bank reserve management to companies borrowing money in a foreign currency, are underpinned by a liquid risk-free benchmark. The bonds of Germany have served as an imperfect proxy until now, but the NGEU issuance "contributes to making the euro a better substitute for the dollar," says Reza Moghadam of Morgan Stanley, a bank. Not all barriers to more international usage of the euro have disappeared. For one, the "safe asset" may prove temporary: in theory, the last NGEU bond will be issued in 2026, though many think the scheme will be extended in some way. The sums of money are also small by global financial standards. Total EU debt outstanding will peak at around $1trn, while America has over $20trn of debt outstanding that investors can trade. And some of the single currency's idiosyncrasies remain. The euro area lacks some of the important elements of a coherent financial union, for example risk-sharing if banks totter. Lack of fiscal redistribution - the NGEU notwithstanding - means a rerun of the euro-zone crisis is still possible. Capital markets are still thin and balkanised, unlike those of America. The lack of a single financial hub after Brexit does not help. Whether gaining share from the dollar helps insulate Europe from America's reach is questionable: banks will always need dollars, and thus a foothold in New York, even if the euro thrives. (A European plan to circumvent sanctions on Iran largely floundered.) Few think the single currency can displace the greenback, but it could perhaps rebalance the international monetary system. That may help reduce the disruptions caused by American central bankers, for example when a slight tightening of monetary policy in 2013 caused a "taper tantrum" that reverberated globally. The euro is the obvious currency to provide diversification. In 2019 Mark Carney, then governor of the Bank of England, mused that technology might disrupt the kinds of network effects that anchor the dollar at the heart of international finance. The rise of digital currencies issued by central banks, which the ECB is considering, might result in a new equilibrium where many currencies share global reserve-currency status. That could provide space for China's yuan, which has its own global aspirations but is hampered now by its lack of convertibility. Such an outcome still feels some years away. But it would mark a return to the norm before the second world war in which several currencies, including the dollar, held joint dominance. Europe has long bristled at the "exorbitant privilege" America enjoys thanks to the dollar's special status. It may find it less intolerable if it can seize a share of it. ■ A version of this article was published online on June 21st 2021 This article appeared in the Finance & economics section of the print edition under the headline "Euro visions"

We're nearly all vegan now. But let's still honour the original radicals Is it high time we gave a bit of credit to the truly old-school vegan? An employment tribunal has ruled that ethical veganism is a philosophical belief to be protected by law against discrimination. Jordi Casamitjana claims he was unfairly sacked by animal charity the League Against Cruel Sports (LACS) for complaining that its pension fund invested in companies involved in animal testing. The ruling is the first stage of the case, which will now determine the lawfulness of the dismissal. (LACS argues that Casamitjana was sacked for misconduct.) But what, exactly, is "ethical veganism"? I thought this mindset (rejecting all animal products and animal exploitation, in all aspects of life) was just veganism 101. Is "unethical veganism" a thing now? Or, like myself (a dairy-dabbling vegetarian), are some vegans just not ethical enough? These days, ethical veganism could prove useful as a cultural clarifier, especially at this time of year when temporary vegans are out in force. Veganuary (people going vegan for January) is great, as is the movement's growing popularity. However, increasingly, there appears to be a huge philosophical gulf between lifestyle vegans and what I'd term True Vegans. Lifelong vegetarians like myself may even feel that we have more in common with True Vegans, in that, for us, it was never about looks, health, dietary fashions or even laudable environmental concerns, however interlinked - it was always just about the animals. For its part, veganism could be getting a bit too slack and undiscerning about who it lets into the fold. I mean, who isn't vegan in some way these days? There are people who are vegan for a month. People who go vegan to lose weight or to improve fitness. Last week, there were probably people feeling "extremely vegan" in the time it took them to eat the new Greggs" vegan steak bake. That's the essence of mainstream vegan success - it took "dull and worthy" out of the ethical equation for people who weren't terribly interested, which is fantastic. Mostly. Just sometimes, it feels gratingly lightweight. Maybe that's why I got a kick out of seeing someone take their veganism all the way to court. Go, ethical vegan! Mock these people all you like, roll your eyes at them for being cranks and bores. But there's no denying that they're the real vegan deal - a breed apart in terms of commitment, application and integrity. True Vegans are where it all started. It was their ethical purity (if you like) that made the vegan revolution happen - their persistence that eventually led to jackfruit dals in supermarkets. And they'll still be there, grimly soaking their lentils, when all the faddists and part-timers have gone and the steak bakes are left going cold on Greggs" counter. If vegans are finally getting legal recognition and protection, then they've earned it. Sometimes, it should be about the ethics. £4m to tackle rogue landlords is a fig leaf, not a realistic policy Housing secretary, Robert Jenrick: was he trying to bury bad news? Photograph: Wiktor Szymanowicz/Barcroft Media The government has announced a £4m fund to pursue rogue private landlords. Is this some kind of joke? There are 4.5m privately rented households in the UK and 1.2m in England and Wales are deemed "non-decent." With these numbers, how could a one-off splash of £4m even start to resolve the issues? Among the local authorities to benefit from the fund, Northampton plans to set up a special unit to deal with bad landlords, while councils in Yorkshire and the Humber are training enforcement officers to vet properties. I'm sure these councils are grateful to receive the funding, but what about the help and support needed for all the other struggling private renters around the UK? It's highly probable that there are even more of these "non-decent" abodes, not least because many tenants are too frightened to complain about poor conditions, rent rises or appalling behaviour by landlords. To do so risks eviction. Labour has called the fund "puny" and "a drop in the ocean" compared to council cuts since 2010. These cuts limit their power to act, allow landlords to do as they like and have long been cited as a major reason why the private rental sector has morphed into a housing wild west. Even private landlords think£4m is too little to tackle the rogues who give them a bad name.

Canadian PM Trudeau says detained citizens Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor have left China Two Canadian citizens who were detained by Beijing for more than 1,000 days have left Chinese airspace and will arrive back in Canada early on Saturday, prime minister Justin Trudeau told reporters. A plane carrying Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor left Chinese airspace around 7.30pm Ottawa time, just hours after US authorities reached an agreement allowing Chinese Huawei executive, Meng Wanzhou, to return to China in exchange for admitting wrongdoing in a fraud case. Shortly before Trudeau spoke, Meng boarded a plane to Shenzhen, AFP reported. The two Michaels, as they came to be known, were detained in December 2018 on accusations of espionage, shortly after Vancouver police arrested Meng on a US warrant, over allegations she and the company breached economic sanctions on Iran. The two Michaels maintained their innocence, and Canada and other western governments had accused China of engaging in "hostage diplomacy," arbitrarily arresting the men on charges Canada said were baseless. "Twelve minutes ago Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor left Chinese airspace on their way back home," Trudeau told reporters in brief remarks on Friday. They were accompanied by Canadian ambassador Dominic Barton. "These two men have been through an unbelievably difficult situation, but it is inspiring and it is good news for all of us that they are on their way home to their families." "For the past 1,000 days they have shown strength, perseverance, resilience and grace, and we are all inspired by that." Spavor, - who lived near the North Korean border and arranged cultural exchanges - was accused of supplying intelligence to Kovrig, a former diplomat turned analyst for the International Crisis Group, according to state media. They were tried in secret. China has long denied their arrest was at all connected with Meng's detention, while simultaneously suggesting their fates were tied to hers. In the end, China released the two Michaels without providing any legal reason. Spavor had been sentenced to 11 years in prison last month, while Kovrig's verdict, following a secret trial in March, was yet to be announced. At the same time as the two Michaels were arrested, Chinese authorities also increased the sentence against fellow Canadian Robert Schellenberg, from 15 years in jail to a death sentence. At least four other Canadians are on death sentences in Canada, with escalations in their cases coinciding with development's in Meng's case, Margaret McCuaig-Johnston, a senior fellow at the University of Ottawa told the National Post in March. At the short press conference on Friday, Trudeau would not be drawn on how the case had affected the relationship with China. He said he had spoken to China's leader, Xi Jinping, "a number of years ago" about the case, and Canada would continue to stand up for Canadians" interests around the world. "Right now the focus is on getting them home safe," he said. "I want to thank our allies and partners around the world in the international community who have stood steadfast in solidarity with Canada and with these two Canadians," he said. Earlier on Friday the US department of justice announced it had reached a deal with Meng, Huawei's chief financial officer and daughter of the company's founder, for a deferred prosecution. Under the deal, Meng admitted to wrongdoing in key elements of the case, including misleading unnamed financial institutions about the business relationship between Huawei and a subsidiary in Iran. Prosecutors recommended she be released and returned home. Meng had been held under loose house arrest conditions which allowed her to travel around Vancouver during the day, and return to her home in an upmarket suburb of the city at night. During the pandemic her husband, son and daughter were able to visit her. "Over the past three years my life has been turned upside down. It was a disruptive time for me as a mother, as a wife," Meng told reporters and supporters after the hearing. "But I believe every cloud has a silver lining. It really was an invaluable experience in my life. I will never forget all the good wishes I received from people around the world," she said. With Reuters and Agence-France Presse

It is hard to recall another negotiating process with as many ups and downs or as many make-or-break deadlines as Brexit. The next deadline, which in principle should conclude the divorce between Britain and the European Union, is Dec. 31. That is when a new trade agreement is supposed to be signed and sealed, clearing the way for Britain and the E.U. to finally start leading their separate lives. But for that to happen, a few knots have to be unraveled, and for that the deadline is Sunday. As this week has demonstrated so far, meeting that Sunday deadline is far from certain. After a meeting between Prime Minister Boris Johnson of Britain and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels on Tuesday, at which they were supposed to unravel the remaining knots, reporters found more news in their dinner menu (scallops and turbot) than in their talks. When the meeting ended, both leaders told their sides to start preparing for no deal. Mr. Johnson's typically florid explanation was that the E.U. position was "kind of a bit like twins, and the U.K. is one and the E.U. is another, and if the E.U. decides to have a haircut, then the U.K. is going to have a haircut or else face punishment." Ms. von der Leyen was more succinct: "We gained a clear understanding of each other's positions. They remain far apart." Once again, the knots were thrown back to negotiators with instructions to resolve them by the end of the weekend. How negotiators can be expected to untangle them by Sunday when their political leaders failed is anybody's guess. Once again there was talk of the dreaded specter of a "hard Brexit," with trade between Britain and the Continent abruptly disrupted with lines of trucks backed up on both sides of the English Channel. That possibility has been raised so often in the four-and-a-half-year Brexit saga that it hardly arouses the alarm it once did. But that makes it no less possible, or threatening. While Ms. von der Leyen and Mr. Johnson both said they were prepared to keep searching for solutions, both also issued orders to prepare for the worst. The E.U. published a series of contingency measures on Thursday "to ensure that basic air and road connectivity are maintained in the increasingly likely event that a free-trade agreement is not reached," Axios reported. Mr. Johnson said he had told his cabinet to start making preparations for "coming out on Australia terms," his euphemism for what is more commonly known as a "cliff-edge Brexit." He insisted that these are "very good terms and we can prosper mightily in that future which is just around the corner." His government and most credible economic forecasters have painted a far bleaker picture, of cuts to the British economy by as much as 9 percent. The governor of the Bank of England has warned that a no-deal break with Britain's largest and closest trading partner would cause more long-term damage than the coronavirus. Exiting with a deal would also hurt the British economy, according to most predictions, but not as badly. That, presumably, is why Mr. Johnson is continuing to negotiate. Britain formally withdrew from the European Union on Jan. 31, but left all E.U. rules in place until a new trade deal was ready, which was supposed to happen by year's end. The three issues that continue to elude agreement are fishing rights, competition rules to ensure that the trading field is level on both sides (what Mr. Johnson was apparently referring to) and how trade disputes will be resolved. Given the extraordinary number of rules and regulations that the negotiators have had to sort out to untangle Britain from the Union, these last - and especially fishing, which is a minuscule industry in Britain - would seem to be small details. But to the British, as Mr. Johnson declared, they're about sovereignty, and it was to recover a sovereignty purportedly ceded to Brussels that a narrow majority voted back in June 2016 to exit the E.U. and that Mr. Johnson was chosen prime minister. The requirement of a level playing field - basically common rules and standards that prevent businesses in one country from gaining a competitive advantage - is a way of keeping Britain locked in the E.U."s "regulatory orbit," Mr. Johnson said, while sharing fishing areas would mean Britain didn't have controls over its own waters.

Nigeria: Price of Tomatoes Crashes By 75% in Katsina The price of tomatoes at the Katsina tomato market has crashed by about 75 per cent due to a glut in the supply of the commodity. Our correspondent, who monitored the development in the market on Wednesday, reports that a big basket of tomatoes, which sold for N10,000 in May, now goes for a paltry N2,500. The sharp drop in price was due to tomato glut arising from high supply of the commodity by farmers from Katsina and neighbouring states. The Vice Chairman of Katsina Vegetable Sellers Association, Alhaji Sada Ahmed, attributed the price crash to the large supply of the commodity by farmers. Ahmed said that aside from the quantity produced by farmers in the state, farmers from Kano, Jigawa and Zamfara were also supplying the commodity to Katsina markets.

Greece, Egypt and Cyprus jointly condemn Turkey's "aggression" in Eastern Mediterranean - RT World News Turkey's natural gas exploration and military activities in the disputed waters of the Eastern Mediterranean have been roundly condemned by its neighbors, who also criticized the recent reopening of a beach area in North Cyprus. In a joint statement issued on Wednesday at a one-day summit, the leaders of Egypt, Cyprus and Greece rebuked what they termed Ankara's "illegal drilling" and "aggression" in the region. The trio called on Ankara to cease its activities in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) off Cyprus, the outer border of which runs close to Turkey. It is the latest exchange in a terse war of words over Turkish activities near the Aegean Sea, which last week saw Greece and Cyprus reach out to the EU for support. On Tuesday, Greece urged the EU to stop military exports to Turkey, accusing Ankara of violating the conditions for accession to the bloc, which it has been negotiating for over 20 years. Also on rt.com Greece urges EU states to stop military exports to Turkey & consider suspending customs union deal Talks on Wednesday between Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades and Egyptian President Abdel Fatah el-Sisi also covered other issues, including energy and fighting terrorism. The leaders also criticized Turkey over the recent reopening of Varosha, a North Cypriot beach resort abandoned after the 1974 conflict, and reiterated that this violated UN Security Council resolutions 550 and 789. Also on rt.com Greece urges Turkey to 'take step back' as Northern Cyprus reopens abandoned beach resort The leaders called on Ankara to accept an invite to "negotiate in good faith and with full respect for international law."

Eddie Jones urges England to "physically dominate" Australia Eddie Jones has urged England to "physically dominate" Australia on Saturday, insisting his side will do so legally, and has claimed their four-match winning streak against the Wallabies will be preying on his compatriots" minds. Jones refused to bite on claims from his opposite number, Michael Cheika, that England will go after Australia's half-backs, responding only with "we play the game legally." He did, however, suggest his side's winning run against the Wallabies will have a bearing on Saturday's outcome. "They'll have a bit of an itch in the back of their head," he said. "When the game gets tighter, their memory will go back to those precious games. So that's an advantage for us, that itch in the back of their head. "We want to physically dominate them. They're probably the most physical side in the world and we want to show we can dominate them up front. We've got to rise to the occasion. We're playing against the best team in the world at the moment." Jones also gave short shrift to any suggestions England have an obligation to entertain when addressing the criticism that followed the lifeless display in the 21-8 victory over Argentina on Saturday. "Our job is to play good English rugby and to beat Australia," he added. "There might be 80,000 out there and there might be 40,000 who find it entertaining and 40,000 that don't find it entertaining. Our job is to win and play good rugby." If England's victory in this fixture last year, as well as their 3-0 whitewash in Australia in 2016, has some bearing on Saturday's match, however, so too will the Wallabies" seven-match unbeaten run that includes victories over New Zealand and last weekend against Wales. Accordingly, Jones has recalled Owen Farrell to breathe life into a back-line that failed to ignite against Argentina but Maro Itoje is only named among the replacements. Joe Launchbury starts to add some second-row ballast but Jones is relishing the chance to unleash Itoje from the bench. "We just felt that the benefit of him not playing rugby this week wasn't there," said Jones. "That we could give him what he needed to keep improving in terms of his physical conditioning. "And he's just so fresh and eager to go. It's like he's had a pre-season, like he's had a break. It's like he's been away to Barbados for three weeks. He's really ready to go." Dylan Hartley, meanwhile, has called on his side to help kickstart the Ashes with an England win against Australia. England's cricketers begin the defence of the urn in Brisbane next week and Hartley revealed he has been in recent contact with former captain Alastair Cook. "I'm going to watch the Ashes, I want England to win the Ashes, I want us to beat Australia, it's important [that we do]," Hartley said. "We're not motivated or affected by external noise. It's nothing to us, we want to win, we want to play a good game of rugby, we want to play good wining rugby. First and foremost winning - that's the key thing there." England: A Watson (Bath); J May (Leicester), J Joseph (Bath), O Farrell (Saracens), E Daly (Wasps); G Ford (Leicester), B Youngs (Leicester); M Vunipola (Saracens), D Hartley (Northampton, capt), D Cole (Leicester), J Launchbury (Wasps), C Lawes (Northampton), Robshaw (Harlequins), S Underhill (Bath), N Hughes (Wasps).

COVID-19: 'Game-changing' PPE recycling technology turns masks and gowns into school chairs Specialist thermal heating machines which convert used PPE into reusable plastic blocks within one hour have been installed inside five NHS hospitals. The equipment, developed in Cardiff, allows hospital waste such as gowns, curtains and single-use masks to be turned into metre-long blocks on site. They are then collected, processed and re-developed into a range of new products including school chairs and toolboxes. The machines have been developed by Cardiff-based company Thermal Compaction Group. Matt Rapson, the firm's environmental director, said: "We are taking what is designated as single-use plastic out of what is a very expensive waste stream for the NHS, reclaiming the plastics and engineering it back into an inert source of polypropylene which is then reused into multiple products." The machines thermally compact polypropylene, a material widely used in plastic PPE. St Woolos Hospital in Newport Wales, Queens Hospital in Burton, Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, Harrogate Hospital and the Royal Cornwall Hospital are all using the machines. The company says 11 other NHS hospitals are due to receive the equipment, which reduces the physical size of the waste by 85%. Mr Rapson said: "We have a number of trusts now using our machines and specifically to take out the plastics which have become a huge problem in the current pandemic. "You take Royal Cornwall Hospital for instance, they're using 10,000 masks a day." The Royal Cornwall was one of the first hospitals to start using the new PPE machine. Roz Davies, the general manager of Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust Care Group, said: "We hope this will be a real game changer in the way we tackle single-use PPE, not only for us here in Cornwall but across the UK and beyond. "The use of masks has grown extraordinarily this year but now we have the option to recycle them, as well as other items such as theatre wraps and gowns that would previously have been transported out of Cornwall for specialist incineration." Since the pandemic began, tens of thousands of tonnes of PPE waste have been created. In March last year the World Health Organisation called on governments and manufacturers to increase single-use PPE production by 40%. One Facebook survey of 4,500 people carried out by tradewaste.co.uk estimates that 53 million single-use facemasks are being used in the UK each day - equivalent to around 55,000 tonnes in the 12 months to March 2021. It's a significant amount of waste - but still a small proportion of the 220-million tonnes of waste the UK produces each year. Stephen Freeland, a policy advisor at the Environmental Services Association, says although there has been an increase in PPE waste, overall the amount of medical waste has actually fallen due to cancelled routine operations and procedures: "There has been an increase in PPE that we're all well aware of. "But the waste management system has coped, it's a very resilient system. We are not talking about huge amounts of volumes of material compared to the overall amount that we're handling as a whole in any given year."

He wrote his A Key into the Language of America (1643) as a kind of phrase book coupled with observations about life and culture as an aid in communication with the Indians. In it he talked about everything from salutations in the first chapter to death and burial in chapter 32. The book also sought to instruct the English, who thought of themselves as vastly superior to the Native Americans, that they were mistaken. He repeatedly made the point that the Indians were just as good as the English, even superior in some respects. "Boast not proud English, of thy birth & blood; Thy brother Indian is by birth as Good. Of one blood God made Him, and Thee and All, As wise, as fair, as strong, as personal." Having learned their language and customs, Williams gave up the idea of being a missionary and never baptized a single Indian. He was severely criticized by the Puritans for failing to Christianize them, but Williams had arrived at the place in his own thinking that no valid church existed. He said he could have baptized the whole country, but it would have been hypocritical and false. He formed from friendships and developed deep trust among the Native Americans, especially the Narragansetts. He was able to keep the peace between the Indians and English in Rhode Island for nearly forty years because of his constant mediation and negotiation. He twice surrendered himself as a hostage to the Indians to guarantee the safe return of a great sachem from a summons to a court: Pessicus in 1645 and Metacomet (King Philip) in 1671. He, more than any other Englishman, was trusted by the Native Americans, and proved trustworthy. In the end King Philip's War (1675–1676) was one of the bitterest events in his life, as his efforts ended with the burning of Providence in March 1676, including his own house. ==Tributes and memorials== ave had been forgotten. In 1860, Zachariah Allen sought to locate his remains, but found nothing. In the grave that Allen thought was that of Williams, he found the apple tree root, but little else. Some dirt from the hole was placed in the Randall family mausoleum in the North Burial Ground. In anticipation of the 300th anniversary of the founding of Providence, the dirt was retrieved from the mausoleum and placed in an urn and kept at the Rhode Island Historical Society until a proper monument was erected at Prospect Terrace Park in Providence. The actual deposit of the "dust from the grave of Roger Williams" did not occur until 1939 when the WPA finished the monument. The apple tree root is now regarded as a curio and kept by the Rhode Island Historical Society at the John Brown House Museum. ==Writings== Williams's career as an author began with A Key into the Language of America (London, 1643), written during his first voyage to England. His next publication was Mr. Cotton's Letter lately Printed, Examined and Answered (London, 1644; reprinted, with Cotton's letter, which it answered, in Publications of the Narragansett Club, vol. ii.). The Bloody Tenent of Persecution, for Cause of Conscience soon followed (London, 1644). This is his most famous work, and was the ablest statement and defense of the principle of absolute liberty of conscience that had appeared in any language. It is in the form of a dialogue between Truth and Peace, and well illustrates the vigor of his style. The margins of this book are filled with notations in handwritten code, believed to be the work of Roger Williams. In 2012, Brown University undergraduate Lucas Mason-Brown cracked this code and uncovered conclusive historical evidence attributing its authorship to Roger Williams. Translations are revealing transcriptions of a geographical text, a medical text, and some twenty pages of original notes addressing the issue of infant baptism. Mason-Brown has since discovered more writings by Williams employing a separate code in the margins of a rare edition of the Eliot Indian Bible. ==Indian language and culture== While living at Salem, Williams spent a lot of time with the natives, learning their language and culture. He traveled throughout southern New England, mostly by canoe. While he didn't relish staying with the Indians, he nevertheless opted "to lodge with them in their filthy Smoakie holes". He was perceived by them as an English sachem. Williams intended to become a missionary to the Native Americans and set out to learn their language. He studied their language, customs, religion, family life and other aspects of their world. As a result he came to see their point of view about colonization and developed a deep appreciation of them as people.

Smith praises Australia's 'exceptional' bowlers By Afp Captain Steve Smith has praised the collective efforts of his "exceptional" four front-line bowlers for contributing to Australia's crushing 4-0 Ashes series win over England Monday. The Australians rounded off a dominant five-match series with an innings and 123-run hammering of the beleaguered tourists on the final day of the fifth Sydney Test. Mitchell Starc, John Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and spinner Nathan Lyon all finished with 20 or more wickets in the series to take 87 in total to dominate the England batsmen. Despite this, Smith was not prepared to rate them higher than the quartet of Mitchell Johnson, Ryan Harris, Peter Siddle and Lyon who bowled Australia to a 5-0 whitewash in the last Ashes series in Australia in 2013-14. "I think all the bowlers did an exceptional job," he told reporters. "Each of our bowlers have over 20 wickets which showed that the guys have bowled together as a group, bowled in partnerships, bowled for one another and helped us take the 80-odd wickets that we've needed to take four Test matches." But he stopped of declaring them a better bowling unit than their predecessors four years ago. "I think they are all great bowlers. I can't put any of them ahead of each other," he said. "I think both attacks were outstanding and got the job done. I can't say any one is better than the other." Cummins, who captured four for 39 to finish man-of-the-match in Sydney, finished as the leading wicket-taker in the series with 23 at 24.65 and played in all five Tests. Starc claimed 22 wickets at 23.54, Hazlewood 21 at 25.90 and Lyon 21 at 29.23. Lyon, the leading all-time Australian off-spinner, has now taken 290 wickets at 31.64 in 74 Tests. "Nathan has been exceptional with the way he's bowled and the consistency he's had has been outstanding," Smith said. "For me the moment that changed the whole series was Nathan Lyon and his run out (James Vince on 83) at the Gabba, that was such a huge moment in the series. "Those sorts of plays can change a series and I think that was a series-changing moment." Smith, who was the undoubted man-of-the-series with 687 runs including three centuries at 137.40, praised the entire team's input into the triumph. "Everyone has had a role to play and had some impact on this series," he said. "That's what has been so special about it, it hasn't just been one or two guys stepping up and doing the job. You can't really win an Ashes series when that's the case. "Looking at the series as a whole, England had their foot in the door in most Test matches. "But we just won the key moments in the games and didn't let England back into the games, which was crucial. I was really pleased that we were able to do that."

When it was written, there was no other alternative. If you want to write a section about, you don't need to ask. Happy‑melon 'No alternative.' I just don't buy it. I think Wikimedia dropped the ball on this one, and they should be involved in fixing it. Instead editors are stuck trying to implement different solutions themselves across the entire project, and you somehow seem to have got stuck defending that. Maybe a few more donations and they've have the money to code 'workarounds' into new versions of Wikimedia that actually support old ways of interpreting Wiki markup? I'm sorry but, pathetic. Brando130 (talk) :Absolutely. Has anyone actually done anything to sort out this problem, which appears to have affected parts of the entire encyclopedia? Please DONT tell me how to fix it – I have tried. And perhaps responses could be in plain ENGLISH, as most users don't understand a word of what is written above, on this page. :May I lend my voice to those clamouring to insist that whoever caused the problem should UNDO the coding which caused the glitch in the first place – and quickly, please. :Oh, and an apology to the Wikipedia community would be nice, too. – Agendum (talk) ::Agendum, it appears that the issue on the page you were editing was that the infobox parameters were also specifying an image height; removing the height parameter and removing the px from the width parameter brings the image down to a more reasonable size. I've made these edits to that page. Slambo (Speak) I partly agree with the complaints. The MediaWiki code could parse the parameters for images much smarter than they do now. On the other hand, it is pretty strange for a "function" like ... to accept faulty input. But as we have seen, it is hard to know for people if they should feed image size as "40" or "40px" and when that is done in several layers through calls between templates it can end up as "40" or "40px" or "40pxpx" depending on where along the chain the "px" is added to the number. So yeah, in this case there probably should be an exception. MediaWiki should probably take the numbers and chop of the ending characters, at least on the first parameter that starts with numbers and that comes after the image name. Problem is that the parameters are unnamed and are allowed to be written in any order, thus it is hard to really tell which one is the image size. Look at the code I used for the thumbnail image to the right: Not so easy to decide on a proper parser function that correctly guesses which parameter is the image size and which is the caption if the function should allow faulty image size input. Let's not forget that this change is only causing a problem because we've all been so lazy for five years. If this had been in MediaWiki from day one, there would have been absolutely no problem: if you add an image to an article and it appears a wierd size, try it with or without "px" on the size parameter, and you'll find what works. This is now the case for new image additions - it is only the existing images that are a problem. These will eventually sort themselves out, and we can continue as normal, with the added benefit of being able to write an image summary ending in "px" if we choose to do so. To the editor who wrote something to the effect of "don't tell me to fix it" above, I can only ask "Why are you here?" The editors are there for the encyclopedia, not the other way around. You want the fix in a nutshell? "Try adding or removing "px" from image parameters". It's a Wiki: if the answer is not obvious, experiment until you find it. Similarly, if you think you can write a better image parser, MediaWiki is open content just like Wikipedia. Anyone can propose MediaWiki revisions, just like anyone can propose changes here. Go on, I think it's somewhere in here. Happy‑melon == The bugfix: Can it be made more flexible? == Can the bugfix that brought this syntax issue to the surface be modified so that it is more lenient about whether the size is designated with nothing, with px, or with pxpx? == We need more spaces == There seems to be more problems with the image tag parsing than just the "pxpx" bug. Under some circumstances lack of spaces inside the image tag makes it fail. See discussion at Px. == help!

- and calling a whole community "misogynist". This is why it's wrong. There are other news articles, that don't go on an offending spree, and that don't belong to a single corporation that has a lot to lose if one of the news sites loses credibility, and does everything in its power to limit the damage. News sites are a very bad source. Always have been. It's amazing that someone actually calls them reliable. Even huge sites like the huffington post and NY Times are VERY bad reporters. They don't do any actual reporting, and have taken up the idea from BuzzFeed, to create sensational titles, and not giving a damn about the content. Here's Oliver catching major news sites not giving a damn about what's true and what's not. Here's Stewart showing what trash people get away with when writing articles. The fact that major news sites often show conflicting stories just proves they are biased. And when it comes to cold hard facts? Have you ever written articles on scientific topics? It's amazing how easy news articles skew research papers to manufacture crazy titles that have nothing to do with research. Because what SHOULD be valued on Wikipedia is research, and not news articles. Research is verifiable. Science is testable. So why not apply the scientific method? Why not use as source the very thing the article is about? Why not use that damn Twitter, to take actual quotes of the people this article is actually about, and not biased commercial "he said she said" bovine feces that is shown very well that is bovine feces? Why settle with dishonest journalists that are the very thing being questioned here? Why listen to them when writing what GamerGate is about, instead of actually GamerGate itself? This is wrong on all levels, and is an abuse of Wikipedia rules, by using word play. The intention never was to be exact. Otherwise first-hand sources would have been used. Capilleary (talk) Not to mention that the whole article discussion is blatantly ignoring the vested interest, which can't be ignored, which makes the first hand article source unusable, and referring articles unusable as well. There is a good reason why wikipedia has policies against vested interest. So that people don't ignore it. This is a clear violation of so many rules, this is wrong on so many levels, that I don't believe this is Wikipedia we're talking about. Facts are ignored, corrupted media cited, rules shoved into a distant orifice. If this goes on, I won't be donating a single dime any more, and will start looking for an unbiased source of information to contribute to. But I'll wait. The article HAS improved a lot from when it first started and was 100% bovine feces. At least now it has some mention of some truth. Capilleary (talk) Well, it's not perfect. Rules are never perfect, but it is better than having none at all. I have been trying to do my part in fixing it up even under the circumstances, but Wikipedia also operates based on consensus and thus just one person is going to have to do a lot of convincing when the preconceptions of the crowd are against him or her.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb.

22/22 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 7 AFP/Getty Images That is exactly what has happened, leading to Sky analyst Neville believing that those comments will have been in Pawson's mind when he was told about the elbow by West, resulting in a straight red card. Watch more "The linesman has got a great view of it," Neville said on Sky Sports. "I think 15 years ago, he's not done a lot wrong. Now, he's got nowhere to go. "These referees, they're aware of previous statements and players being fired up for a game. Deeney just oversteps the line." Watford now face being without Deeney for three of their final five Premier League matches, beginning with relegated Huddersfield on Saturday, before games against Southampton next Tuesday and Wolves the following week. Watford can appeal the decision in the hope of overturning the ban, but regardless Deeney will return in time for the FA Cup final against Manchester City next month. Troy Deeney was sent off for Watford early in their 1-0 defeat by Arsenal (Reuters) Watford manager Javi Gracia was bemused by the decision though, questioning whether the challenge was worthy of a red card. Watch more "I don't agree, but I respect the referee's decision," Gracia said. "It is maybe a yellow card, but red card? I don't understand why the referee did it. I prefer not to speak only about that. He (Deeney) hasn't got to explain anything to me, I could see the play and I could see the contact with his arm but never with his elbow. "What can I say? I don't understand the decision but we respect it. We tried to look for the resolution. There is a contact but it is not with his elbow, it is with his arm or hand, I don't know which part exactly. I never saw an aggressive movement. I don't understand why the referee took that decision."

Yes, There's a New Gay Bar in Greenwich Village Boîte: Playhouse Bar Greenwich Village Greenwich Village may no longer be a predominantly L.G.B.T. neighborhood, but it remains a vibrant center of gay night life. In December, the owners of Pieces on Christopher Street and Hardware in Hell's Kitchen took over the former Boots & Saddle space - a block south of the Stonewall National Monument - and reopened it as Playhouse Bar, a drag-filled and dance-happy nightclub that appeals to New Yorkers and tourists alike. "The historical significance of this neighborhood is something that you can't match anywhere else," said Justin Buchanan, 35, who owns the bar with Eric Einstein, 46. "That's really why we wanted another venue in the Village, because it's very important to preserve that history. And the Village hasn't really had anything new in a very long time." The Place The building once housed the Actors Playhouse, where "Naked Boys Singing" and "Torch Song Trilogy" were staged. Double doors lead down to a rectangular room with loft-style windows and an arched proscenium with a velvety red curtain. A long bar runs along an exposed brick wall where the word "Playhouse" has been spray-painted with a rainbow of colors. The Crowd Weeknights bring a variety of drag acts with cabaret-style seating, while on the weekends, the club clears the room for D.J.s and dancing. Around 11 p.m. on a recent Saturday, Playhouse was in full dance mode, packed with mostly fit white men in their 20s and 30s, clad in tight T-shirts and a surprising number of Yankees baseball caps. After midnight, the scene grew more diverse, not just racially, but also in terms of gender and body types. There were party-hearty gal pals, some stray bears and a few longhaired bespectacled refugees from Brooklyn. The Playlist All divas, most of the time: Britney, Rihanna, Kylie, Lizzo, Madonna, Rihanna again. Not that anyone was complaining. The vibe D.J. Jon Ali seemed to be going for was that of a gay wedding reception, with lots of hollering and hands in the air. Getting In There's no cover charge, except for a Sunday night drag contest called Look Queen ($10, includes a drink ticket). Drinks Beers, vodka sodas and shots start at $8. The bar serves two types of wine: red and white (also $8). But, as one of the Playhouse's sassy drag queens might say, if you're here for the vino, honey, you're in the wrong place. Playhouse Bar, 100A Seventh Avenue South, 212-427-2567; playhousebar.com. Open Sunday to Thursday, 2 p.m. to 3 a.m., and Friday and Saturday, 2 p.m. to 4 a.m.

Leathers changed her mind after the girl sent screen shots from months of exchanges with the former congressman. The teen-ager wanted to go public, but Leathers urged her to call the police instead. "I don't claim to be a morality queen," Leathers said. "I don't care if he was sexting another adult. But, if it's a child, it's another story. I felt a little protective of her." After it became clear that the teen-ager was determined to tell her story, Leathers said she shifted to "damage control." "How can I at least make you some money?" she said she asked the teen-ager. "I basically said, "The only way you should do this is if they pay you." Certain outlets will pay you to talk, and I had made deals with a lot of them." Leathers's agent alerted dailymail.com, the online version of a British tabloid with which she'd previously done business. Both Leathers and the girl received a sizable fee; the teen's father, an attorney, helped negotiate her payment. On July 30th, Leathers took another step. She had not communicated with Weiner for years, but she decided to send him a private Facebook message that amounted to a half-warning, half-scold: This is super awkward but you need to know something. There's a 15-year-old girl named [redacted] messaging me and she's claiming you guys sext and skyped. And that you know how old she is. For once I'm keeping my mouth shut. I want nothing to do with this. Frankly, I hope it isn't true. But she showed me a screenshot that looks legit to me. How have you not learned your lesson? This is another level of fucked up. I suggested to her not to talk to the press so you're welcome but you may want to refrain from messaging anyone under 18 for gods sake. If she is really someone you've been talking to, you better cut that off quickly. She's talking about potentially messing with Hillary's campaign. I am kind of pissed to be put in this situation to be honest. The Daily Mail story appeared on September 21st. The twenty-two-hundred-word article was accompanied by dozens of screen captures, displaying half-clad photos and suggestive texts that Weiner had sent the teen-ager, a high-school sophomore whose name was withheld. She told the Daily Mail that she had contacted Weiner, then fifty-one, in late January, 2016. During online video chats, she said, Weiner had invited her to undress and masturbate. She said he'd urged her to engage in "rape fantasies." The girl's father said that he'd learned of the relationship in April but did not alert the police because his child believed the relationship was "consensual" and "I didn't want to exacerbate anything that she has mentally going on." The article included four pictures of Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, including one of her with Hillary Clinton. Abedin was perhaps Clinton's closest aide, often described as a surrogate daughter. She had met Clinton in 1996, while she was a White House intern, and spent her entire adult life working for her. When Abedin married Weiner, in 2010, Bill Clinton officiated at the ceremony; the couple had a son a year later. When the F.B.I. began investigating the Clinton e-mails, in 2015, agents had taken special interest in Abedin because she was one of the four aides who served as conduits for most of Clinton's State Department messages, screening them, forwarding them, and printing them out for her boss. When agents interviewed Abedin on April 5, 2016, she told them that she had used Yahoo and state.gov accounts while working in the State Department, as well as an e-mail address on Clinton's private basement server, huma@clintonemail.com. They asked Abedin what devices she used for e-mail, at work and home, and whether she'd kept any archive. According to F.B.I. notes of the interview, Abedin said that she had already turned over everything she had to the State Department. The agents did not ask to inspect any personal computers at her Manhattan apartment, where she lived with Weiner and their son. Her lawyer would later publicly insist that Abedin had no idea that her exchanges with Clinton were on his laptop. The couple has since separated. The Daily Mail story raised the possibility of serious criminal charges for Weiner. If he had encouraged an underage female to take explicit photos or video of herself, he could be charged with producing child pornography, a felony that carries a minimum prison term of fifteen years. F.B.I. agents in New York immediately began investigating.

"We will appeal this decision and continue to defend the freedom of all Americans to peacefully live and work according to their deeply held beliefs without fear of punishment," Waggoner said. In 2018, the Supreme Court held that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission showed hostility toward the baker based on his religious beliefs, in the case in which he refused to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding. However, it was a partial win because it left unsettled the broader constitutional questions on religious liberty. The case was one of the most anticipated rulings of the term and was considered by some as a follow-up from the court's decision three years ago to clear the way for same-sex marriage nationwide. That opinion expressed respect for those with religious objections to gay marriage.

U.S. Judge Blocks Controversial Texas Abortion Provider Regulations A federal judge in Texas on Friday halted state regulations that would require abortion providers to dispose of aborted fetal tissue through burial or cremation, saying the rules imposed "undue burdens on a woman's right to seek a previability abortion." U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks issued an injunction that will stay in effect until the court can render "a meaningful decision on the merits" of the case, online court documents showed. State lawyers argued that the Texas Department of State Health Service's (DSHS) regulation was in line with preserving human dignity but plaintiffs, who included abortion providers, said it was an unnecessary and vague regulation aimed at making abortions more arduous and expensive. Protesters demonstrate March 2 in front of the U.S. Supreme Court on the morning that the court took up a major abortion case focusing on whether a Texas law that imposes strict regulations on abortion doctors and clinic buildings interferes with a woman's constitutional right to end a pregnancy. Kevin Lamarque/Reuters "It seems unlikely DSHS'S professed purpose is a valid state interest and not a pretext for restricting abortion access," Sparks wrote. "By comparison, Plaintiffs face likely constitutional violations, which could severely limit abortion access in Texas," he wrote. The proposed Texas limitations would be more stringent than regulations in almost every other state, which allow aborted fetal tissue to be disposed of in the same manner as other human tissue, according to the Guttmacher Institute, an abortion rights research group. The Texas regulation change was crafted shortly after the state suffered a stinging defeat at the U.S. Supreme Court last year when the justices struck down separate abortion restrictions backed by the state's Republican leaders. Providers of women's health services including abortions argue the rules are part of a nationwide agenda to place restrictions on abortions and make it harder for women to get the procedure. "This restriction, just like the many before it, all across our nation, does not create any health benefit for women and is strictly designed to limit access to safe, quality abortion care," Amy Hagstrom Miller, the chief executive of Whole Woman's Health and a plaintiff in the case, said in a statement. Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said the state will continue its fight. He said in a statement that the ruling "reaffirms that the abortion lobby has grown so extreme that it will reject any and every regulation no matter how sensible." In a separate reproductive rights case, Sparks heard arguments this month over plans from Texas to cut Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood. He has placed a hold on the funding cuts to consider what he called "the mountain of evidence" in the case. Try Newsweek: Subscription offers

Democrat Suggests Invoking 25th Amendment Against Donald Trump Amid Government Shutdown Fight Representative Eric Swalwell, a Democrat from California, invoked the Constitution's 25th Amendment - which outlines a complicated process to remove a president from office - in a tweet about President Donald Trump on Friday. Even in a presidency that has been defined by tumult, disarray, infighting and controversy, the last few days have been especially chaotic for Trump's White House. He announced his intent to pull U.S. troops from Syria via tweet, Secretary of Defense James Mattis resigned (apparently in protest over Trump's policies) and, all the while, Trump announced he would refuse to sign a stopgap spending bill to fund the government into the new year if it did not include money for his long-promised border wall - even though it could trigger a partial government shutdown. Then there's his tweets. He has been pushing for a wall, even somewhat oddly comparing it to the invention of the wheel on Friday morning - "There is nothing better," he said. Trump also urged Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to eliminate the filibuster and find a way approve a border wall with a simple majority. "Mitch, use the Nuclear Option and get it done! Our Country is counting on you!" Trump tweeted. In response, Swalwell posted: "25th Amendment?" Read more: Why the Trump presidency cannot be annulled House Intelligence Committee member Representative Eric Swalwell of California, center, speaks a news conference on July 17, in Washington, D.C. Swalwell invoked the 25th Amendment to criticize President Donald Trump in a tweet on Friday. Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images While the 25th Amendment does allow for the president to be removed from office, it imposes a pretty high bar. The vice president and a majority of the Cabinet must determine that the president is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office." But presidents can fight such decisions with a letter claiming they are fit for office. From there, the decision falls to Congress. If two-thirds of the House of Representatives and of the Senate determine the president - in this case Trump - is unfit, then that president can be removed. In some ways, it seems like an far-reaching thing for Swalwell to mention - the amendment seems more likely to be invoked in the event of a president's death or incapacitating injury - but it has reportedly been brought up previously within Trump's administration. Last September, The New York Times reported that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had discussed invoking the 25th Amendment - a claim Rosenstein disputed, saying he was joking, while noting he didn't believe there was any basis to invoke the amendment to remove Trump. Former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman said in a September MSNBC interview that during her tenure, White House staffers often joked about the amendment when Trump did something they considered "unhinged." "Whenever he did something that was just so insane and so crazy and unhinged, when he would flip positions from one hour to the next, we'd just hashtag it "TFA" [25th Amendment] and keep moving," Manigault Newman said. "I hate to admit it, but that was the kind of hashtag that went around a lot in the White House."

Today In The Culture, September 20, 2021: Mariane Ibrahim Gallery Expands to Paris Checking Into Mariane Ibrahim Gallery's Parisian Locale Surface profiles the Parisian arrival of the Mariane Ibrahim Gallery: "Mariane Ibrahim first moved to the U.S. a decade ago when she realized that, despite France's colonial history in Africa, there simply wasn't much of a market for art from the continent's diaspora. Since then, she opened a much-watched gallery in Chicago and has experienced a meteoric rise as one of the art world's foremost gallerists championing Black creative talent. While most of her expanding roster hails from Africa or are of African descent - Amoako Boafo, Peter Uka, Florine Demosthene, and Maimouna Guerresi among them - she emphasizes that both her gallery and roster shouldn't be put into a box," writes Ryan Waddoups. "Ibrahim is bringing that message back to Paris by inaugurating a brand-new outpost on Avenue Matignon. Located in a 4,300-square-foot space within a stately Haussmanian building, the three-floor gallery heralds a key moment for the Avenue's renaissance. The French capital has experienced a renewed sense of optimism and vibrancy within the past year, due in part to post-Brexit fallout that has attracted a multitude of high-profile galleries such as Christie's, Skarstedt, Perrotin, and White Cube." Reva and David Logan Foundation Launches The Artist Grant The Reva and David Logan Foundation has established a community-driven model of grant-making that celebrates individual artists working in a range of formats, the foundation announces. This Artist Grant, although supported in an administrative capacity by Foundation staff, has been designed and driven by a group of Chicago-based artists representing a range of creative disciplines and backgrounds. The initiative aims to recognize artists working in Chicago who may or may not be working within the mainstream art world. All art forms - art as defined by the applicants - will be considered. The award will offer ten unrestricted, no-strings-attached grants in the amount of $2,500 each. By design, the application is short and intended to capture the joy and essence of why an artist makes the work they make. Grants manager and arts program officer Preeti Veerlapati says, "We feel it is imperative that this endeavor fosters fairness, accessibility, and inclusion, eschewing burdensome platforms and elitist selection processes."

Russia projected to overtake Switzerland in chocolate exports by end of year - RT Business News Russian exports of chocolate surged nearly 20% in the beginning of 2021, setting the country on course to beat the world's favored chocolate maker Switzerland by the year's end. "Russian exports of chocolate and chocolate goods increased by 18.6% by the end of Q1 2021 in volume terms and by 11.8% in value terms year-on-year. "Considering the current dynamics experts project that Russian producers will surpass Swiss [producers] in terms of chocolate and chocolate goods exports by the end of 2021," the Askond Association of Confectionery Manufacturers said in a statement issued on Wednesday. The firm warned, however, that in order to maintain the steady increase in chocolate deliveries abroad, manufacturers need broader state support. Also on rt.com Russian agriculture exports surge 16% this year amid huge increase in deliveries to Europe "Many countries protect their domestic markets, creating difficulties for foreign manufacturers of confectionery products. Therefore, the further growth of interest in Russian chocolate will be difficult to ensure and support only by the forces of the industry. [Therefore] it is necessary to combine efforts of producers and targeted state support," Vyacheslav Lashmankin, executive director of Askond, said. According to data from the World Trade Organization's (WTO) Trade Map and trade statistics platform UN Comtrade, Russia was 11th in the global rating of exporters of chocolate products in 2020. Its exports amounted to $729.2 million, reaching 295,700 tons, while Switzerland was 10th, with 109,800 tons worth $753 million. Also on rt.com No bull! Russia becomes top-supplier of beef to China On the domestic front, earlier this year, Russian antimonopoly watchdog FAS launched a case against Swiss chocolate producers Henkel, Lindt, and Procter & Gamble, claiming that the products they deliver to the Russian market are of lower quality than those sold in western Europe. However, it was later reported that FAS didn't find any violations in the quality of Lindt products, and that while differences in quality exist, they appear to be due to the seasonal characteristics of natural raw materials, milk, and cocoa beans.

Stormont: NI business groups issue plea to Karen Bradley Image caption The secretary of state has previously said she is aware of concerns about decision making at Stormont in the absence of ministers Civil servants should get more powers in the absence of Stormont, Northern Ireland's leading business groups have said in a letter to Karen Bradley. They include the CBI NI, Manufacturing NI and Hospitality Ulster. Power-sharing between the DUP and Sinn Féin collapsed in January 2017, leaving Northern Ireland without a government. There has been confusion over who is in charge after a court overruled a planning decision taken by a senior Stormont civil servant. The 12 business organisations said they want the secretary of state to put in place "special legislative measures" to allow senior civil servants to take important decisions. They have put forward suggestions for Mrs Bradley to consider if the impasse between the political parties cannot be broken. 'Extra scrutiny' They want legislation to be amended to allow Stormont's permanent secretaries to make decisions in the absence of ministers. The assembly's statutory committees should be re-established to provide extra scrutiny, they added. The groups also said there should be a focus on infrastructure planning decisions only, and that existing decision-making powers of the Planning Appeals Commission should be extended to incorporate'regionally significant' planning applications. Last month, the Institute of Directors warned that more than £1bn of infrastructure projects are at risk because of the stalemate at Stormont. 'Policy paralysis' In their letter to the secretary of state, the business groups argue that their proposals are a temporary solution and would revert if power-sharing was restored. They added that while there continues to be no assembly, something must change in order to avoid a "lengthy period of decision-making uncertainty." Adrian Doran, chair of the CBI NI Infrastructure Forum, said Northern Ireland could not be left in "policy paralysis." "The longer this uncertainty presides over local infrastructure decisions, the greater the risk to jobs and investment," he said. "Northern Ireland cannot be left in a decision-making limbo indefinitely." Image caption The business groups want the secretary of state to re-establish Stormont's departmental committees to scrutinise civil servants' decisions Ann McGregor, chief executive of Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said the business community was "suffering intolerably" because of the deadlock. "The proposals put forward by business groups today outline potential solutions that should be considered," she added. "Too much time is being wasted and time is of the essence." The secretary of state has previously said she is "aware of concerns" over what decisions departments can make in the absence of ministers. In a statement, the government said: "The secretary of state's focus remains on redoubling efforts to restore a locally-elected, democratically accountable devolved government in Northern Ireland. "The UK Government also has a responsibility to ensure good governance and the continued delivery of public services. "The secretary of state will continue to keep available a range of options for supporting the process and encouraging the parties to achieve the positive outcome that we all deeply want, and reach agreement in the interests of all the people of Northern Ireland."

Which Argos stores are closing down? Sainsbury's, owners of Argos, announced yesterday it will cut some 3,500 jobs, most of which will be linked to the closure of 120 Argos stores. It comes as another heavy blow to the British high street which has been ravaged by the COVID-19 pandemic and shift in consumer behaviour. Argos currently has 583 stores in the UK with nearly 300 collection points within Sainsbury's supermarkets. Chief executive Simon Roberts said: "Argos sales have been strong over the past six months and we have gained almost two million new customers as people have re-connected with Argos. "Over the next three years we will make Argos a simpler, more efficient and more profitable business while still offering customers great convenience and value and improving availability. "We are talking to colleagues today about where the changes we are announcing in Argos standalone stores and food counters impact their roles. "We will work really hard to find alternative roles for as many of these colleagues as possible and expect to be able to offer alternative roles for the majority of impacted colleagues. "Right here and now, I and all the team are focused on supporting and delivering for our customers in the days and weeks ahead." Sainsbury's has not yet compiled a list of stores that face the chop - but has confirmed that any stores which did not reopen following the spring lockdown will not reopen at all. Express.co.uk has contacted Sainsbury's for a list of store closures and will update this article. Overall, 420 Argos stores are set to close by 2024, meaning there will only be around 100 standalone stores left across the UK. However, Sainsbury's has plans to open an additional 150 Argos stores within preexisting Sainbury's stores. There will also be another 200 pick-up points created. High streets have suffered significantly throughout the coronavirus pandemic, with three in ten high street shops failing to reopen following the initial COVID-19 lockdown in the spring. Changes in customer demand have led to a considerable bulk of the economy moving online, set to move even further that way with the current month-long lockdown in England. Sainbury's has recorded a pre-tax loss of £137m for the year to September 19 after being hit by £438m in one-off costs related to branch closures. Digital sales were up 117 percent to £5.8bn, nearly 40 percent of total sales, while groceries online sales were up 102 per cent over the period. Like much of the rest of the UK, non-essential stores throughout nation were forced to close back in March in an effort to stymie the spread of COVID-19. Owing to the pandemic, the UK has had one of its worst financial years ever, even exceeding the impact of the 2008 financial crash.

American Pickers' Frank Fritz slams 'cheater' ex Diann Bankson & says he got tattoo so he'll never forget her "betrayal" AMERICAN Pickers star Frank Fritz slammed his "cheater" ex-fiancee Diann Bankson and revealed he got a tattoo so he'll never forget her "betrayal." Frank, 57, and Diann, 55, had a nasty split that ended with her claiming he cheated in a scathing lawsuit. Frank Fritz accused his ex-fiancee Diann Bankson of cheating after her infidelity claimsCredit: Frank Fritz/Facebook The American Pickers star lost 65 pounds after their splitCredit: Coleman-Rayner In an exclusive interview with The Sun, the American Pickers star insisted Diann is the one who was unfaithful, as he even got a tattoo to remind him of her "betrayal." He told The Sun: "I was going to get married, I bought a house and a big expensive ring, and then I find out my fiancée had been dating somebody else for two and a half years. "It's kind of hard to get married when there's another c**k inside of her already. That kinda cuts the fun factor down a little bit. "She's the cheater, that's why I got a tattoo saying "Once a cheater always a cheater." I got the tattoo two years ago just to remind myself not to make the same mistake again. She cost me six figures." He continued to claim: "She was cheating a lot longer than me. I had someone over at the house, but that's all it was. She didn't catch me in the act, it was nothing like that." Frank and Diann have a long history, as they dated when he was 25, again at 35 and then a final time at age 55. The couple bought a stunning Iowa home for $355,000 in March 2018. Frank sold the mansion after their split for $358,000 in January 2021. He said: "You'd think I would have learned, she cheated each time. I don't think she can help herself. "I do not need to spend one minute of my day thinking about anything to do with her. I'm no angel, but neither is she." As The Sun previously reported, Frank lost 65 pounds by living a healthier lifestyle and cutting out drinking. He also attributed his weight loss to the heartbreak, as he continued: "I gave it a good shot, I tried to drink her away. I haven't had a drink in almost nine, ten months. "It would have been a year but I had one slip up, it was maybe for four hours, but it was enough." Frank said he is not dating today, as he was "stung hard enough." Diann exclusively responded to The Sun of Frank's cheating claims: "It's not true what he's saying. If he's trying to make me look like the bad person of course I'm going to say it's not true, because it's not. "The bottom line is that I know the truth and that's all that matters. He's playing the victim and it's not true. I wasn't cheating on him at all, I was waiting here every two weeks when he was on the road, waiting for him to get home. "I just want to move on because every time I think about it I get a little upset, I get hurt all over again and I can't keep doing this. She concluded: "I don't care to have drama or chaos in my life, I'm just trying to heal right now. It's been two years, I'm ready to move on." The Sun previously reported Diann sued Frank for negligence on January 27, 2020. In November 2018, she claimed she "walked in and caught him in bed with another woman." After the two reconciled, she claimed an incident took place at the farmhouse when Frank and a friend set off fireworks. Diann claimed the men "had been drinking" at the time, as she went into the home while they lit the fireworks. She continued in the court papers that the men were unable to light a firework. Diann alleged: "Both defendants then put it in a closed cylinder vintage ashtray and tried to light it there. The firework did not light again and the Defendant just left it in the covered intake ashtray instead of properly disposing the firework." She then claimed that she wasn't warned about the ashtray, as she used it while smoking a cigarette. The lawsuit continued to claim: "The ashtray blew up severely burning her hand and arm with third degree burns and burnt off eyelashes and eyebrows."

Apfelstrudel on the other hand means something very specific. Gerald Jarosch (talk) I thought that the dish - being Austrian, so it would have a German name -was originally called "Apfelstrudel" and that "apple strudel" was simply the English translation of the original German name. ACEOREVIVED (talk) I like those poppyseed cakes, or are they strudels? Anyone? Danke. ChildofMidnight (talk) Mohnstrudel? I do hope I have the spelling right, but just say it aloud!

I am disturbed to find that the subject redirects to poppy. ChildofMidnight (talk) == The chinese translateion of the dish is based on the following == == Intestine strudel: non-traditional () == We've got to do something about that second picture. It looks like someone's large intestine Would someone that knows the interface better please do strudel lovers world-wide a favor and make this small change (I don't want to engage in wiki vandalism and don't know enough about properly formating a wiki image section to do this myself). Recommended alternatives here: Thank you. If there were a section on variations of the strudel (which I don't think is necessary), it would be fine in a section like that. And yes, I'm trying to be a little funny here, but this is almost like doing an article on cinnamon rolls and then including a picture of how you can also bake them straight?? (Mmmmmmm, grandma's cinnamon rolls now slighty reminiscent of turd It says "Home made". Fiddle Faddle (talk) You're right. I know you're right (sigh). The picture also says "old fashioned", which I think most of us agree is quite likely to be true. But I think the question was more nuanced than that, it was really: "Is that 'Apple filling'", as indicated? This, among other things is what's wrong with that photo. And that question remains. Honestly, my initial reaction sets all that aside. At first I was just upset at the note on this page ( letting all of us readers know that: no higher resolution available. It's too bad really. It would answer a lot of questions.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.231.187.34 (talk) not mine. I make them in a U shape :) The main thing about the dish is that it is by no means always a restaurant dish. We ordinary peasants make it too :) Fiddle Faddle (talk) Yeah, I agree. Lots of people make strudel. Although I'm not sure that's the focus of the article or the "main thing". And besides, even if we go with that logic then it should still be a reasonably representative sample of what peasants make, not that obscure one (unless you're going for totally obscure, in which case that photo doesn't work either). I think many more commoners make strudel the way I do, which is in several discrete sections, not one long circular pile. So, I'm willing to concede your point that it's made by many different kinds of people (even if the article doesn't really discuss this), if you're willing to agree to a more representative sample of the way people make it. Are you? If you don't like my original suggestion: Then let's find an alternative together, ok? Please? I certainly provided many other options to choose from that I feel are more common. But if you don't think any of those would work, and would still like to make a point about us peasants also making it (which I like, and think is a decent point, although perhaps not entirely necessary), perhaps this imagery would be a closer mutually agreeable fit: (I think the apples work. Although we'd need ro replace the horse): Perhaps we can agree on a new shape, and one of us can then "bake" and take a new picture of our own? Can we agree on that?

A similar result finish would likely be disastrous for Hopkins, who has come under fire following two consecutive losing seasons. "I think our potential is through the roof," said Hopkins, who has three years and $9.3 million remaining on his contract. "But I got to coach better. They got to play better and really go out there and compete to the level that's needed 24/7. I felt like there's too many spurts and not enough consistency." After the Utah Valley defeat in which Washington was outscored in the first half for the seventh time this season, Hopkins hinted at possible lineup changes. "Obviously, we know we haven't played to our ability in a lot of ways," Hopkins said. "That's on me. We have a competitive spirit. We have great kids that love to practice and love to get better. (It's) more so that mindset of getting better starts. We've shown moments." Mostly, senior guard Terrell Brown Jr. has exhibited moments of brilliance while leading the Pac-12 in scoring (21.4 points per game), steals (2.1) and minutes (35.9). Still, Hopkins is searching for more consistent playmakers aside from senior forward Emmitt Mathews Jr., who is averaging 10.9 points and 5.2 rebounds, and backup junior guard PJ Fuller (9.9 ppg. and 1.2 spg.). "It can't be 1 to 2 guys bringing it," Hopkins said after beating Seattle University 64-56, which was arguably UW's best win of the season. "We need multiple scoring options, moving the ball and guys knocking down shots.... Then, defensively it's the same thing. It's got to be as a unit. That's how you turn this around." Washington's game at Arizona, which was originally scheduled for Dec. 2 and moved to Jan. 25, will now be played Jan. 3.

"He was and continues to be one of the funniest and silliest people I've ever met," says the comedian Jonathan Katz, who has been Mamet's best friend since their days at Goddard College, in Vermont, and with whom Mamet conceived the film "House of Games." "He was a master of disguises. We would have this running gag. Whenever one of us was meeting the other guy at the airport, we would be in disguise. One of my favorite disguises was when he was sitting in the airport with a paper bag on his head and smoke coming out of it. He was smoking a cigar under the paper bag." In public conversation, however, Mamet is courtly and wary; his style of discourse is not so much straight talk as Indian wrestling. He wrong-foots the listener with a curious brew of slang and erudition, mixing words like "ain't," "marvy," "jolly," "vouchsafe," "desuetude" in the same breath. There's a jaunty smile in these sentences, but a smile with cold teeth. "Oh, goody gumdrops," he said when I told him I'd be able to join him in Cabot, Vermont, where he owns a farmhouse and a hundred-acre parcel of rolling land. "Goody gumdrops from the gumdrop tree." As I attempted to ask him unwelcome questions about his childhood, the presence of the Boy Scout knife on the table reminded me of the knife that the distraught ten-year-old boy John flashes in Mamet's autobiographical masterpiece "The Cryptogram" - a play about the betrayal of the boy by his parents. He is on the stairway looking down at the living room, where his mother, abandoned by his father and unable to meet his emotional needs, sits in the tortured last beat of the play. At whom, exactly, is the boy's murderous energy aimed, himself or others? His gesture foreshadows the life of the playwright, who learned to turn aggression into art: the knife became a pen. Knives are tools of creation as well as of destruction, and Mamet likes to whittle. His specialty is carving animal figures for his three daughters - Willa (fourteen) and Zosia (nine), both from his twelve-year marriage to the actress Lindsay Crouse, which ended in 1991; and Clara (three), from his marriage, in the same year, to the Scottish actress and singer Rebecca Pidgeon. The knife as an ambiguous symbol of penetration is the central metaphor of "Three Uses of the Knife," a collection of Mamet's lectures about theatre to be published later this year, in which he recounts an anecdote first told by the blues singer Huddie Ledbetter, better known as Leadbelly, who once said, "You take a knife, you use it to cut the bread, so you'll have strength to work; you use it to shave, so you'll look nice for your lover; on discovering her with another, you use it to cut out her lying heart." In its affecting irony, this progression illustrates for Mamet the essential elements of dramatic structure; it also demonstrates, he writes, "the attempt of the orderly, affronted mind to confront the awesome." If Mamet felt affronted now, it was by my request that he turn back to the memory of his past. "My childhood, like many people's, was not a bundle of laughs. So what?" he said. "I always skip that part of the biography." After a while, he added, "This might help. There's a movie I'm hoping to do in the fall about making a movie. The female movie star is having a breakdown. She's crying. She says, "I never had a childhood." The director puts his arm around her. He says, "I had one. It's no big deal." " [cartoon id="aa95"]

Officials clear American in London bus incident Video Transcript for Officials clear American in London bus incident We want to move now and have seen that video where a woman is shoved into a busy road by a jogger. Lawyers for the jogger say they can prove he was not the jogger involved. Reporter: This morning an American businessman now at the center of this bizarre incident. The viral video showing a jogger appearing to push a woman into the road right in front of an oncoming bus on London's Putney bridge. Watch as he runs towards the bed in the opposite direction. She falls into the road. The bus swerving just missing her. Could have ended in a fatality. Reporter: Tips poured in after the video was released and London police arrested a 41-year-old man but wouldn't confirm his name or nationality. Police have since released this man. Attorneys for American investment banker Eric bellquist confirming their client was arrested. The catch, his lawyers say, the man in the gray shot is not bellquist writing, he categorically denies being the individual concerned and has irrefutable proof he was in the United States at the time of the incident. Bellquist's attorney not yet releasing their proof but say consequently we expect a swift resolution to this wholly untrue allegation. Now, London police confirm they have not filed any charges in the case. We spoke with police this morning. They're still investigating and may have an update later today and that victim incredibly suffered only minor injuries. Paula and Matt.

After a spike in tensions during Trump's first year in office, the Republican leader has struck something of an unlikely friendship with Kim. The two men made history by hosting the first-ever U.S.-North Korea summit in June and have scheduled a follow-up set to begin Wednesday in Hanoi. The primary item on the agenda was likely to be the difficulty by which the two countries are navigating a fragile understanding over North Korea's agreement to abandon its nuclear weapons in exchange for an end to U.S. hostility and strict economic sanctions. Kim Jong Un has not tested a missile or nuclear weapon in more than a year and, during the time period, North Korea has destroyed certain military sites, released U.S. prisoners and carried out a joint disarming of the world's most heavily fortified border between the Koreas. The U.S. has suspended some military exercises with South Korea deemed "provocative" by North Korea, but has not granted Pyongyang its two major wishes of a peace treaty and sanctions relief. Trump told reporters Wednesday that he'd "love to be able to" remove sanctions on North Korea, "but in order to do that, we have to do something that's meaningful on the other side."

Do these seem like slim pickings, ideas-wise? If so, then all I can tell you is that I felt the same disappointment myself on finally making it to the end of On Freedom, a book that is close to unreadable at moments. (Try this for size if you don't believe me: "If and when we attribute all coarse language, all perseveration on individual body parts, all desires to consume, top, penetrate, or fetishise to cis men, we stay deaf to, or stand in judgment on, real aspects of female, lesbian, and queer expressions of desire, which do not always find expression in a gender-abolished, power-free, tentacular stew.") Like The Argonauts, Nelson's account of her life with the artist Harry Dodge, it is clotted with jargon and arcane references to Foucault et al. Unlike that book, however, it comes with no element of memoir, and thus with no narrative urgency. Its pace and tone never change. Rarely have so many words been used in a supposedly non-academic book to so little effect, Nelson's endless sub-clauses, justifications and equivocations growing all over every page - all over everyparagraph - like barnacles on a rock. Is this stifling, boring, impenetrable thicket the result of the fact that it was written in the blissful liberation afforded by the MacArthur "genius grant" its author was awarded in 2016? What an irony, if so. Nelson was, in my eyes, a far better and infinitely more lucid writer - she was, in fact, a writer who seemed altogether more free - when she was still imprisoned by the need to worry about her rent. The book of hers that I like best is The Red Parts, which came out in 2007, and is about the trial of the man who murdered her aunt, Jane Mixer. Not much fatter than a powder compact, it can be read and understood in an afternoon. Unlike On Freedom, it will stick to your mind for ever, like glue.

Cardiff man killed himself after girlfriend's affair Lee Webb went missing after hearing his partner was pregnant by another man Mr Webb's body was later found in the woods after a search party was conducted The barman from Cardiff was devastated by the news of the affair claims his sister For confidential support call the Samaritans on 116123 or visit a local Samaritans branch, see www.samaritans.org for details By Charlotte Dean For Mailonline A distraught boyfriend was found dead in the woods just days after discovering his girlfriend was expecting a baby with another man. Lee Webb, 28 is believed to have killed himself after learning his partner had been having an affair behind his back. Mr Webb, a barman from Cardiff, was having trouble with his girlfriend who suffered from anxiety, his sister Sarah Webb claimed during the inquest. He was devastated when he found out that his girlfriend was pregnant as there was confusion surrounding who the babies father was. Ms Webb said: 'He found out she had cheated on him and was pregnant. 'He was devastated by this news. There was confusion over who the father was. 'The Friday before he went missing he found out he was not the father.' After hearing the news in October last year Mr Webb went missing and a search to find him was conducted by his family and friends, the inquest heard. His body was discovered after a person with a metal detector came across his phone in woods in the Leckwith part of the city and called his family. Cardiff Coroner Phillip Spinney concluded: 'He had been low in mood in the period leading up to his death due to his relationship difficulties with his former partner' 'There was no note or any other indication he was going to take his own life. 'It is plain from the evidence we have heard that the breakdown of his relationship had lowered his mood.' Mr Spinney said: 'The deceased died as a consequence of his own actions.'

===Barnard2005=== First of all, the movement of Barnard's Star compared to the surrounding stars is amazing. It has importance in the field of astronomy, and is of relatively good quality for an image of a star. This may be a bit of a personal opinion, but I wonder what could throw a star that fast. I have my own hypothesis that a black hole did. I also wonder how long until it runs into something. That would definitely make FP status! It is in, of course Barnard's Star. Nominate and support. -  ¢² Connor K.   Comments: It's fascinating if you know the background of the photo: what the subject is, why it's moving, and why that's significant. Unfortunately, it doesn't really have the visceral "wow" factor of a lot of astronomy photography. It's conceptually interesting, but visually unappealing. SnurksTC Is there any way to improve the "wow" factor? Because I think any star moving that fast is interesting. Just comparing it to the other stars in the picture wows me. Then again, I'm into astronomy, and I do know about the concept. Could a caption fix that? I'd appreciate any feedback. Agree with Snurks the image itself is pretty plain, even if the phenomenon isn't. Don't really see any way it could be doctored up or replaced. Too bad. Spyforthemoon Fixable problem: Look at the non-moving stars. Notice that the brightness (especially of the dimmer ones) varies between frames. This is probably caused by different observing circumstances in different years. 1995 and 2005 are noticeably dimmer. It would be good if someone could adjust the levels to make each frame match. They also jump around quite a bit. ~ trialsanderrors How hard would it be to stabilize the rest of the image, so the only thing's that change are the date and Bernard's star? Seconder:

Pakistan draws Indian ire with museum display on captured pilot KARACHI (Reuters) - The crude waxwork figure isn't much to look at, although it does feature the famous moustache. But Pakistan's new museum exhibit on an Indian pilot captured when the two nations came close to war earlier this year is causing ire across the border. Students take selfies with a mannequin, representing Indian pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, after his Mig-21 fighter aircraft was shot down by Pakistan Air Force on February 27, 2019, at a gallery "Operation Swift Retort" at the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Museum in Karachi, Pakistan November 13, 2019. REUTERS/Imran Ali Pakistan's Air Force on Wednesday opened a new gallery in its museum on Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, who was shot down in a dog-fight as the two countries clashed over the contested Kashmir region in February. Abhinandan became the face of the crisis after Islamabad released a video of him drinking tea with Pakistani officers while in captivity. He politely refused to answer questions in the video, but proclaimed the tea offered to him "fantastic." That tea cup, along with the pilot's flight uniform and other items from the skirmish, are now displayed in the museum in the southern city of Karachi. A large effigy of the pilot, dressed in a copy of his Indian uniform, is also on show. During the crisis Indians rushed to barber shops to emulate Abhinandan's trademark handlebar moustache, while the capture of the pilot become a symbol of pride for Pakistan, which has fought and lost several wars with its larger neighbor since both won independence from Britain in 1947. "When Abhinandan tried to attack he was arrested and within two days he was returned as a goodwill gesture to give a message of peace," said Hamna Shaikh, a college student visiting the exhibit. "All his belongings are now here on display, it felt very good today seeing all these articles." The new exhibit is less popular in India, however, with footage of the display going viral on social media and sparking heated arguments online between Indians and Pakistanis about past wars. Times Now, one of India's most-popular TV networks, called the gallery "bizarre propaganda." Abhinandan, who was injured in the crash, returned to flying in September. Officials from the Pakistan Air Force attending the opening of the gallery declined to comment on the exhibit. A spokesman for the Indian Air Force did not respond to a request for comment.

Liverpool offered triple boost as Virgil van Dijk leads Covid returnees ahead of Leicester clash Thiago Alcantara, however, remains unlikely to feature in that game given he is still in isolation. With the visit of Leeds postponed until further notice, Andy Robertson will be suspended when Liverpool take to the King Power early next week following his red card away at Spurs. Clearly, Robertson's absence is a blow but taking close to a full-strength side to Leicester will be music to Klopp's ears after a difficult time of things in the last two fixtures in terms of key players missing.

A handful of other Republican attorneys general expressed outrage. "I am shocked and angered by this unauthorized act by a rogue staffer, which I found out about through a press report," Ohio's Republican attorney general, Dave Yost, said in a Jan. 9 tweet. "It is the opposite of the rule of law and contrary to what I stand for." RAGA has been a fundraising powerhouse in recent election cycles. But since Jan. 6, the organization's fundraising prowess has suffered. RAGA raised about $2 million less in the first half of 2021 than the $8.5 million it raised during the same period in 2019, according to IRS records. A person familiar with RAGA funding said those numbers need to be considered in light of the pandemic, and noted that 2019 was an especially expensive year for the organization. Even so, after the group's role in the events of Jan. 6 was disclosed, several companies vowed to cut off donations, including Facebook and Lyft. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which has supported RAGA substantially in the past, did not donate during the first half of this year. Of the $6.7 million RAGA has received through June 2021, $2.5 million came from the Concord Group, a conservative organization founded in part by Federalist Society co-chairman Leonard Leo, according to published reports. Bisbee previously worked at the Federalist Society. The Washington Post's Amy Gardner, Josh Dawsey, Emma Brown and Alice Crites contributed to this report.

Petro rose to prominence 15 years ago leading a crusade to expose the alliance between conservative allies of then-President Alvaro Uribe and right-wing paramilitary groups. In mesmerizing televised speeches from the Senate floor, he revealed evidence that spurred the arrest of dozens of members of Congress for criminal ties to the paramilitaries. The signing of a peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia in 2016 created space for leftist politics that Petro has been quick to seize on. Several opinion polls show him as the clear frontrunner to win next May's presidential election, in some cases quadrupling the support of his nearest rival. But some fellow leftists say his ego can get in the way of shrewd political instincts. He's also lost support among women because of his staunch defense of a former aide accused of domestic abuse. In 2018, a decade-old video surfaced showing him receiving stacks of cash from a government contractor. Despite that, Petro has managed to maintain a lock on the left and distance himself from the rest of Colombia's discredited political establishment. And now, members of the country's business elite in recent weeks have been requesting meetings with Petro to learn more about his policies, said Rojas. A trip to Washington is planned this year, he added. "I still believe that Petro is perhaps the only politician who has a coherent program to offer a country submerged in a deep social crisis," said Maria Mercedes Maldonado, who distanced herself from Petro after serving as his top policy adviser in the 2018 campaign, complaining that he doesn't listen to grassroots activists. As mayor of Colombia's capital, he racked up enemies by banning bullfights, cutting bus fares and transferring control of private garbage collection to a city agency - a move for which he was briefly ousted by the nation's inspector general in 2014. U.S. officials at times have viewed Petro as a radical populist in the mold of Chavez, according to a 2006 secret U.S. Embassy cable published by pro-transparency group Wikileaks. But two years later, Ambassador William Brownfield in another cable described him as "pragmatic." If he were elected, it would likely upend Colombia's role as the U.S.' caretaker in the war on drugs, the linchpin of more than two decades of close bilateral cooperation, said Michael Shifter, president of the Inter-American Dialogue in Washington. Frictions with the U.S. could also emerge if he takes a softer approach to neighboring Venezuela and engages more with China, Shifter said. "A Petro administration would probably mean heightened tensions with the U.S, on drug policy, sharp conflicts with the (Drug Enforcement Administration) and the end of forced eradication" of coca crops, Shifter said. Nonetheless, he said Petro understands the importance of maintaining good relations with the U.S. "It's hard to see how hostile bilateral ties would advance his policy priorities."

An interesting caveat to that is Sky's continuing pursuit of exclusive Masters rights in the UK, with the BBC currently covering the last two days of the event on a live basis. Whether the corporation can retain that Augusta alliance with Sky hovering remains to be seen. Augusta, as was the case with the R&A with regards the Open Championship, would face a public backlash if its event was removed from free-to-air television. What happens next with the US PGA will also come under further attention. As things stand, Sky has made no serious bid to reclaim the fourth major of the year. It may well be that commercial attention was focused on the Masters, while industry sources have suggested Sky may place more value in the US PGA from 2019, when it moves to a slot in May. The BBC's coverage of last year's event was widely criticised, albeit it was secured at short notice and in direct scheduling competition to the World Athletics Championships. Jordan Spieth, meanwhile, has reflected on a year in which he added the Open to his collection of majors. The Texan, now a three-times major champion, rounded off 2017 at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas on Sunday. "The Open has a pretty significant worldwide reach," Spieth said. "It's my second favourite tournament in the world behind the Masters. So to win those and a Ryder Cup - which I put kind of in a different place - and the US Open, they are kind of top four events in my mind that I can win in my lifetime and that I've done that, it's extremely satisfying. So I look at the year as a whole as a huge, tremendous success. This was one of the better years that I'll ever have." In a further nod to television, and the pull of Tiger Woods, Golf Channel viewing figures for day one of the Hero World Challenge increased by 27% from 2017. On Thursday afternoon, as Woods made a first start in 10 months, the channel was the most watched cable sports network in the US.

Indian Premier League, Kings XI Punjab vs Mumbai Indians Face-Off: Mayank Agarwal vs Jasprit Bumrah IPL 2020, KXIP vs MI: Jasprit Bumrah will be hoping to find his best form in IPL 2020© BCCI/IPL The single consistent success story for Kings XI Punjab in IPL 2020 has been the form of Mayank Agarwal. Win or lose, the Karnataka batsman has come good with the bat on every occasion. In fact, when KXIP lost the Super Over against Delhi Capitals, Agarwal was one shot away from winning the match in regular time but went for glory instead of a single, losing his wicket. When he comes out to bat again against Mumbai Indians, it will need the best bowler in the rival ranks to stop him, and that would be Jasprit Bumrah. The Mumbai fast bowler has not been in the finest nick in IPL 2020, so he will have to bring out his A-game, sooner rather than later. With the KXIP top-order churning out big runs, Bumrah needs to find a way to get his act together, and soon. Agarwal has scored 221 runs in three matches in IPL 2020 with one century and a fifty, at a strike rate of 170.00. Overall, Agarwal has played 80 IPL matches, scored 1487 at a strike rate of 133.00 with a century and six half-centuries. Bumrah has been at the forefront of the Mumbai Indians attack for a while now. She has claimed three wickets from three matches so far this year. Overall, he has played 80 matches for 85 runs, at an economy of 7.64. Promoted This could be quite a face-off, especially if Bumrah can get on the ball figuratively, which he hopefully will do on Thursday. Note: All stats courtesy iplt20.com

Forty Words for Sorrow

While Sapp was competing on Dancing with the Stars, former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach and current NFL Today analyst Bill Cowher along with former Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann filled in. As of the 2019 NFL season, the show is hosted by James Brown, Phil Simms, Brandon Marshall, and Ray Lewis. On February 24, 2021, it was announced that Inside the NFL would move from Showtime to Paramount+, with former Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman also becoming a part of the series. ==Format== Much like other shows on pay-cable networks and streaming providers, Inside the NFL has the freedom to stray from the traditional network format for its program. While the basic elements were the same as any other sports recap show by featuring highlights of the week's games and discussion of events around the league, the fact that there were no commercials allows the panel to discuss subjects at length without the normal network time restrictions. ===Highlights=== The highlight segments consist of NFL Films footage of the past week's games with narration by Harry Kalas (following Kalas' death in 2009, Scott Graham took over as the narrator). This has long been considered a major asset of the show as the game highlights usually exceed the typical 15–30-second token package seen on most major networks. This was the case at least until the NFL Network emerged during the 2003 season and aired shows such as the show Point After that showed extended highlight segments. In the last few years of Inside the NFL, the show decreased its highlight segments, eliminating some low-profile games. ===Interviews=== Aside from the highlights, Inside the NFL features in-depth interview segments with various players, coaches and front office personnel. Among the notable segments over the years was Cris Carter interviewing former coach Buddy Ryan. Ryan was Carter's first head coach when both were with the Philadelphia Eagles in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Ryan released Carter with his explanation being the infamous quote "All he does is catch touchdowns." The interview revealed what some had learned over the years, that Ryan released Carter because of his substance abuse problems that were affecting his performance but did not want that to become public, lest it hinders Carter's chances to sign with another team. Carter admitted that his release was a wake-up call and saved his life as he became a born again Christian soon after, and went on to have a successful NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings in which he became the NFL's second-leading receiver of all-time. ===Production=== ====HBO==== The show was taped in a New York City studio on Wednesday and aired at various times throughout the week beginning Wednesday nights at 10 p.m. Eastern Time. ====Showtime==== The show is taped at NFL Films' headquarters in Mount Laurel, New Jersey on Tuesday and aired at various times throughout the week beginning Tuesday nights at 9 p.m. Eastern Time. Greg Gumbel was replaced in September 2015 by Adam Schein of CBS Sports, with Brown returning in 2016 as host and Schein taking a supporting role. ==References== ==External links== 1977 American television series debuts 1980s American television series 1990s American television series 2000s American television series 2010s American television series 2020s American television series American sports television series American television series revived after cancellation HBO original programming Showtime (TV network) original programming National Football League television series NFL Films HBO Sports CBS Sports English-language television shows HBO Shows (series) WITHOUT Episode info, list, or Article Paramount+ original programming
