BLACKSWAN's agency, DR Music, is making a strong move to tackle the issue of harmful online posts and comments. They've just released a statement explaining their decision to take legal action against those who engage in such behavior towards BLACKSWAN members and the group as a whole. DR Music points out that they've observed a significant number of offensive comments and posts targeting BLACKSWAN members. This negativity doesn't just affect the members but also impacts their families, company staff, and even artists who were part of the company before. The agency has declared its intention to take legal measures against individuals responsible for posting harmful content. This includes general malicious comments, insults related to race and country, as well as spreading rumors and false statements. The full statement from DR Music reads: "Hello, we are DR Music. Lately, there has been an increase in offensive comments and posts directed at our members. Many of these comments are reckless and malicious, negatively impacting not only the members but also their families, our staff, and even artists who were once part of our company. We sincerely urge you to avoid sharing negative posts. BLACKSWAN is a unique K-Pop girl group with members from diverse backgrounds, receiving enthusiastic support from people of various nationalities and races worldwide. Due to this diversity, seemingly insignificant issues to some can lead to larger conflicts. This makes it challenging for us and the members to achieve our goal of sharing positive music and content that people worldwide can enjoy regardless of race and culture. Posting harmful comments or spreading false information online without evidence hurts everyone and doesn't benefit anyone. We want to make it clear that we'll be forced to take legal action if we continue to discover the following actions: Indiscriminate malicious comments Insulting comments about race and country Comments and posts containing rumors Insulting posts Thank you." This move aims to protect the well-being of the BLACKSWAN members and maintain a positive online environment for fans.	https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/k-pop/music/news/blackswans-agency-warns-of-legal-action-against-harmful-posts-read-statement/articleshow/106418903.cms	2024-01-01T02:11:37Z

Chief Justice John Roberts on Sunday turned his focus to the promise, and shortcomings, of artificial intelligence in the federal courts, in an annual report that made no mention of Supreme Court ethics or legal controversies involving Donald Trump. Describing artificial intelligence as the "latest technological frontier," Roberts discussed the pros and cons of computer-generated content in the legal profession. His remarks come just a few days after the latest instance of AI-generated fake legal citations making their way into official court records, in a case involving ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen. "Always a bad idea," Roberts wrote in his year-end report, noting that "any use of AI requires caution and humility." At the same time, though, the chief justice acknowledged that AI can make it much easier for people without much money to access the courts. "These tools have the welcome potential to smooth out any mismatch between available resources and urgent needs in our court system," Roberts wrote. The report came at the end of a year in which a series of stories questioned the ethical practices of the justices and the court responded to critics by adopting its first code of conduct. Many of those stories focused on Justice Clarence Thomas and his failure to disclose travel, other hospitality and additional financial ties with wealthy conservative donors including Harlan Crow and the Koch brothers. But Justices Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor also have been under scrutiny. The country also is entering an the beginning of an election year that seems likely to enmesh the court in some way in the ongoing criminal cases against Trump and efforts to keep the Republican former president off the 2024 ballot. Along with his eight colleagues, Roberts almost never discusses cases that are before the Supreme Court or seem likely to get there. In past reports, he has advocated for enhanced security and salary increases for federal judges, praised judges and their aides for dealing with the coronavirus pandemic and highlighted other aspects of technological changes in the courts. Roberts once famously compared judges to umpires who call balls and strikes, but don't make the rules. In his latest report, he turned to a different sport, tennis, to make the point that technology won't soon replace judges. At many tennis tournaments, optical technology, rather than human line judges, now determines "whether 130 mile per hour serves are in or out. These decisions involve precision to the millimeter. And there is no discretion; the ball either did or did not hit the line. By contrast, legal determinations often involve gray areas that still require application of human judgment," Roberts wrote. Looking ahead warily to the growing use of artificial intelligence in the courts, Roberts wrote: "I predict that human judges will be around for a while. But with equal confidence I predict that judicial work — particularly at the trial level — will be significantly affected by AI."

'No rush' for Oscar Chamberlain as junior world time trial champion leaps into new realm in 2024 'It is going to be a big step up into the under 23 category, but I'm ready for it and I'm excited' says 18-year-old Australian It's not easy for young Australian riders to break through in Europe, but Canberra rider Oscar Chamberlain did more than just break through in 2023, he shot to the very top. It was a season racing with the AG2R Citroën U19 team that started with a national time trial title in Ballarat and finished with the rider stepping onto the podium to claim the rainbow jersey of the under 19 world time trial champion. There were also plenty of successes in between, with the 18 year taking a trip to the podium at every single one of the European tours he lined up for, including first place on a stage and in the overall at the Watersley Junior Challenge. Then there were the one day races, which included a second place at Paris Roubaix juniors behind teammate, Matys Grisel. The long list of consistently strong results put Chamberlain right among the very top of the 2023 junior rankings and there can be no disagreement over the fact that it was a spectacular final season in the junior field for the rider. Now Chamberlain looks ahead to a 2024 with the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale development team, where he hopes to build a strong foundation as he steps up into a new racing realm. Before heading to Europe and joining his teammates at the Continental level development squad – which slots in between Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale's junior and WorldTour teams – the rider will be lining up in Ballarat, Australia to see if he claim the green and gold stripes once again even as he launches into U23 competition. Chamberlain will line up at the U23 men's time trial on Thursday January 4 and in the U23 men's road race on Saturday January 6 as the lone representative at the race of the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale development team. Cyclingnews spoke to Chamberlain in the regional Victorian centre – before the official launch of the Australian Road National Championships late in 2023 – as he took stock of the year and looked ahead to the next step in what is shaping up as a supremely promising cycling career. Cyclingnews: Tell us about your path into cycling. When did you start riding and when did you start racing? Oscar Chamberlain: I've been riding pretty much my whole life. I got a bike, a Spider-Man bike, when I was a real little guy. I started racing in, I think, under nines. My parents both ride a bike, so I started because of them. They just took me on rides on the weekends and then it grew from then. I started racing the crits in Canberra and once I started getting good, I started to focus more on it and pretty much since under 15's I started taking it pretty seriously. CN: When you say you started taking it pretty seriously as an under 15, was it at that stage where you started to think I actually really want to try and do this as a profession? OC: I was doing a lot of sports around that time. I played a bit of footy, some rugby, cricket even. So I was doing a lot of sports but I think cycling just clicked and I was getting good results so I decided that that was what I wanted to focus on. CN: Once you had decided what you wanted to focus on, what was your pathway to Europe? OC: I was pretty lucky. My parents love to travel, so almost every year they did a family trip over to Europe, and France specifically, and because they love riding their bikes they also brought my bike as well. The biggest stint I did in Europe as a kid was six months in France. I went to school there as well. It was about five years ago. I joined a little French club and did heaps of racing in Europe and then each year I would do the Assen Junior Tour, the biggest junior event available, and then from there I built a good relationship with the Cannibal team, Cannibal B Victorious as they are now, so I spent a couple of years with them and then moved over to AG2R this season. CN: When you got to the point where you racing U19’s with Cannibal in Europe in 2022 you got a win pretty early on at the E3 Saxo Classic Juniors. How important was it to get that success, was that the type of result that made AG2R pay attention? OC: That was probably one of the the biggest points that changed the trajectory of my future. I mean, it's pretty rare to have an Australian racing in Europe [in juniors] let alone sort of being at the pointy end so to win one of those big races definitely caught the eye of some people and it was definitely a turning point. CN: Many other riders of your age would have been held back a little after being caught in Australia through COVID-19 (national team trips for development riders were halted as the nation closed its borders amid the pandemic ) OC: I was pretty lucky. I mean, not many Australians get the opportunity to go overseas for as long as I did and I think that also played a part in my motivation. I put a lot of pressure on myself and didn't want to let people down. I wanted to just capitalise on the opportunity that I had. CN: Now, moving onto the opportunity presented by the 2023 season, your final year as an U19, how important was it for you to keep up the momentum? OC: 2022 was quite a bit of learning, still as a first year under 19. This season I also tried to learn as much as possible and with AG2R – I think they are the best junior team in the world right now, that's what the results say – so I had really good opportunities with them. Ijust tried my best in every race and it was a pretty, big experience. I spent eight months or so in Europe ... It was quite a big, big step from 2022. CN: Obviously the Worlds ITT win is a massive highlight, but there seem to have been so many along the way in the 2023 season, like the second at Paris Roubaix Juniors behind a team mate. What were the big highlights for you, and it it doesn't need to be just about results but also the things you got from the year? OC: Obviously Worlds was super special to end the season on. The beginning of season was a bit sort of rough. I was just getting used to the team and getting used to being in Europe all by myself. But second at Roubaix behind my team-mate was super cool and I guess another highlight was the Watersley [Junior Challenge] Nation Cup race, it was a pretty cool win because it was where I was based and that was super special, also because it was a week before Worlds. CN: After the build up you had with that Watersley win, and the experience you had at the home Wollongong World Championships the previous year, how did you feel going into the World Championships this year? OC: It was obviously still pretty nerve racking. You want to come into Worlds with hopes that you're going to win – I think if you don't think you're going to win, you're not going to – so it was always in the back of my mind. After already having done one it was a little bit easier than the first but, yes, it was super stressful but it was also so much fun. CN: What was the feeling like when you knew you were going to be going up to the U19 time trial podium to collect the rainbow jersey? OC: It was pretty crazy. I had coach in my ear during the TT saying there's going to be seconds in it. When I got to that hill, I just gave it everything and across the line I was in the lead. I didn't know how much I was in the lead by, but I knew there was some strong guys behind me. While I was trying to recover it was still in the back of my mind 'like, this is possible' and then once it sort of became reality it was a pretty cool feeling. CN: Coming off a year like that, out of under 19's and into a different ballgame, how do you approach it? Does coming off such a stellar season leave you heading into under 23's with a degree of confidence? OC: I've got a good confidence boost now. I'm pretty keen to have a good year next season but, it is going to be a big step up into the under 23 category, but I'm ready for it and I'm excited. CN: Starting out 2024 with the Australian Championships, what are your expectations going in to that? OC: It's definitely one of the highlights of my year, the Nationals. Obviously to win would be pretty cool, to wear the jersey is super special. I'm not really sure exactly my goal specifically, but I mean obviously I'm going to try to win and if I can that would be super cool. CN: And the TT is one thing, but going into the road race without teammates ... how do you approach that? OC: Well it was a bit similar in 2023. I had no team-mates and it's a bit harder just solo. But I think it's an art to not have many team-mates around you and still try to perform well. Last year I made a few mistakes and that sort of showed in the result [ed. - he still came a more than respectable fourth]. But yeah, hopefully I've learnt some good things from last time and yeah, hopefully I can do a good job. CN: Looking more generally at the year ahead, and your future in the sport, what are your targets and expectations? OC: Next season it's going to be a time for me to learn as much as possible and not rush things. There's a trend now that the WorldTour is getting younger and younger – I think for me there's no point to rush there. The more time I spend trying to learn and improve on that aspect will be beneficial. My love is for the Classics. I think that's where my future is going to be, obviously TT's as well and maybe some shorter stage races. But yeah, definitely the classics is where I want to do well. CN: If there was one race you could pick above any other to win in your career, what would it be? OC: I think the World Championships road race is definitely one that I would really love to win. You get to wear the stripes and then after the year, if you don't get it again, you still get to wear the stripes on your arm. I think that's super special. But if it's not that, then Paris-Roubaix in the elite men's would be something super cool.

Breaking Report: Bill Clinton Expected to Be Identified as 'Doe 36' in Unsealing of Epstein Court Filings Amid a long-standing conflict over whether former President Bill Clinton visited alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, a new report indicates that Clinton will be named in an upcoming release of court filings related to Epstein. Multiple reports have indicated that Clinton flew on Epstein’s private jet, which has garnered the media nickname of the “Lolita Express” due to the allegations of trafficking underage girls on it. That eventually ended up with Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell being convicted on sex trafficking charges. Epstein died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial. His death was ruled a suicide. During her trial, pilot Larry Visoski said that during the years he flew Epstein’s private jet, Bill Clinton was indeed a passenger, according to The Associated Press. A report from ABC said that Clinton – who is identified in the court records as “Doe 36” – will be among more than 150 people whose names will be made public after U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska ruled in December there was no reason to keep the names private. ABC reported that Clinton is mentioned in more than 50 redacted filings from the case. The court records will outline extensive legal jockeying that took place in 2016, as Hillary Clinton was closing in on the Democratic Party’s nomination for president. Lawyers for Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre had sought to have the former president give a deposition in her civil lawsuit against Maxwell, which was settled in 2017. In 2011, Giuffre described seeing Clinton on the Caribbean island Epstein owned, according to the New York Post. “I remember asking Jeffrey what’s Bill Clinton doing here kind of thing, and he laughed it off and said well he owes me a favor,” Giuffre said of seeing the former president in a deposition unsealed in 2020. According to ABC, Maxwell called the move “utter nonsense” and a “transparent ploy by [Giuffre] to increase media exposure for her sensational stories through deposition side-show,” her attorney Laura Menninger wrote in a court filing. Giuffre was unable to get the deposition from Clinton after a court ruled against her in June 2016. ABC noted that because there was no trial in Giuffre’s lawsuit, the issue of Clinton’s presence was never settled in court. “More information about the debate over the issue could become public in the documents to be unsealed,” the outlet reported. A 2019 statement from The Clinton Foundation claimed that Clinton “knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to,” according to Newsweek. “In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein’s airplane: one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation,” the statement read. “Staff, supporters of the foundation, and his Secret Service detail traveled on every leg of every trip. He had one meeting with Epstein in his Harlem office in 2002, and around the same time made one brief visit to Epstein’s New York apartment with a staff member and his security detail. He’s not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade, and he has never been to Little St. James Island, Epstein’s ranch in New Mexico, or his residence in Florida,” the statement said. ABC reported that flight logs that have currently been released do not mention Bill Clinton flying to Epstein’s island. Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee has recently called on the Senate to subpoena the full list of flight logs to disclose who flew on Epstein’s jet.

Something interesting happened the other day. I reached out to Arrow Video to get a review copy of their upcoming Conan the Barbarian 4k release, The Conan Chronicles (which also features Conan the Destroyer). I was told their retail stock (on their end only, mind you) of the much-anticipated title had already sold out (don’t worry – more is on the way). To me, this is a very promising sign, with interesting companies like Arrow, Scream/Shout Factory, and Kino Lorber making really thoughtful, beautifully assembled 4K collector’s editions of cult hits on physical media that, despite being more niche than they were twenty or so years ago, are actually selling really well. Studios have all but abandoned physical media, at least as far as library titles go. Some studios, like Paramount, still re-release their classics through labels like Paramount Presents, but for many companies, these titles are an afterthought, even for their biggest movies. Even Paramount offloaded the recent 4K special edition of Witness, a stone-cold classic, to Arrow. The James Bond film series, one of the most popular of all time, is currently streaming in 4K, but the physical releases have never happened, despite the masters being ready to go. That’s crazy, isn’t it? Yet, with physical media no longer a priority for studios, independent labels have moved in and started to put together loving restorations of their films. Such is the case of Oliver Stone’s JFK, which remains one of Warner Bros’s most popular catalogue titles, but one they seemingly had no interest in pressing on 4K Disc. Their loss is Shout Factory’s gain, with them releasing both the director’s cut and theatrical version in beautifully restored versions. But it’s not just classics. One of Arrow’s best-selling recent editions is Blackhat. This infamous Michael Mann flop grossed a princely $19 million (worldwide) but has found new life via this release, with many saying the director’s cut contained as an extra is far better than the version we got in theatres. Even a movie like William Friedkin’s Rampage, which never even got a legit theatrical release in the US, generates tremedous interest. All this is an interesting look at the future of physical media (which we always keep track of here), as it seems increasingly like it may become a niche market for collectors – but a very healthy one. Movie fans are collectors, and if you give them a product that’s worth paying for, they’ll happily do so. These new 4K editions will probably cost more than they would were studios to release them. The day of the $10-15 collector’s edition is probably behind us. But, with editions that are treated like an event, with extras carefully crafted by fans, perhaps shelling out a little extra cash is a good way forward for the format. These indie labels are doing good work, and what’s exciting about the whole thing is that fans are very happy to support their efforts. Now, if only we can get someone to put out Cocoon or Strange Days! What’s the best recent physical media release? Let us know in the comments!	https://www.joblo.com/are-4k-blu-rays-the-new-vinyl/	2024-01-01T02:11:49Z

The BTS Monuments: Beyond the Stars documentary is giving fans a closer look at the journey of the popular K-pop band. The series has unveiled interesting facts about Jin, J-Hope, Suga, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. With two new episodes released on December 27, fans are in for more surprises, including insights into the members' personal lives and their musical journey. In the latest episode, V, one of the seven members, opens up about a crucial decision he made during a break in 2018. Suga reveals that during this time, the group took a break, and he personally felt a change in himself. He says, "From 2018 going into 2019, that’s when I finally started to understand what position we were in." Suga goes on to share that he found joy in making music again during this break. V then talks about the importance of the members growing closer during this period, becoming like a family. He highlights, "I really want our members to smile and be happy." V apparently signed his contract with HYBE, not just for the music, but to see his fellow members happy, especially during tough times when they were feeling sad. The year 2018 was a tough one for BTS, as each member faced personal struggles. Despite the group's success, they dealt with false plagiarism accusations, mounting pressure, and the looming possibility of disbandment, as revealed by J-Hope and Suga in previous episodes. The challenges of that year took a toll on the mental health of each member, making it a difficult time for the entire team. outh Korea. The group plans to reunite in 2025 after the return of all members, starting with Jin in 2024.	https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/k-pop/music/news/bts-v-shares-the-real-reason-why-he-renewed-his-contract-with-hybe-in-2018/articleshow/106418354.cms	2024-01-01T02:11:49Z
A surfer in Hawaii died at the hospital after a shark attack Saturday. According toMaui County authorities, they received a report at around 11 a.m. local time Saturday about “a miscellaneous type incident.” Upon arrival, they discovered that Ocean Safety Officers had rescued and transported Jason Carter, a 39-year-old man, to shore using a jet ski. Responders conducted life-saving measures until medical personnel arrived, and Carter was then taken to the Maui Memorial Medical Center for further treatment. According to the Department of Land and Natural Resources, Carter, who is originally from Haiku, faced the shark encounter while surfing at Paia Bay, where shark warning signs are placed on beaches one mile on either side of the bay. While initial signs of foul play were not evident, the police department reports that the investigation is ongoing and an autopsy has been scheduled.

In these past few sleepless months, I have seen images and videos that will haunt me personally ,forever. Palestinian parents carrying their children’s charred and dismembered bodies in plastic bags -whole families, across three generations, crushed under the homes they built; exhausted doctors working desperately by torchlight and operating on patients without anaesthetic; one of the oldest churches in the world, sheltering the displaced, bombed along mosques, schools ,hospitals. With the kind of access to social media that we have today, scenes like these that have never seen before, makes it even more unbelievable to watch and comprehend the extent of hatred that exists towards some people. So far almost 30,000 Palestinians have been reported killed – if we count, deaths after one month, are more than the number of civilians killed in Ukraine after two years of war. Many across the globe have been profoundly shaken by these events in Gaza. This conflict marks the start of a chapter that is likely to affect millions of lives, both in the Middle East and further afield, for years to come. But this time we are witnessing a level of violence not seen since the 1948 Nakba – during which about 70% of the Palestinian population was forcibly displaced and more than 500 communities were wiped out completely. Indeed, Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza is quite explicit, open, horrifically ruthless and unashamed.

Watch: Fauci's Former NIH Boss Finally Admits COVID Lockdown Was 'Another Mistake We Made' Former National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins has admitted that tunnel vision handicapped the development of public policy to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. Collins, who stepped down at the end of 2021, was the superior of former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci, who along with Collins proposed and supported lockdowns as the major policy element to deal with the pandemic. During the recently unearthed interview, interviewer Wilk Wilkinson bemoaned the fact that too few open discussions took place about the pandemic and the lockdown policy. Collins said putting public health bureaucrats in charge meant that a one-dimensional policy would ensue. “As a guy living inside the Beltway, feeling a sense of crisis, trying to decide what to do in some situation room in the White House with people who had data that was incomplete,” Collins said. “We weren’t really thinking about what that would mean to Wilk and his family in Minnesota, a thousand miles away from where the virus was hitting so hard. We weren’t really considering the consequences in communities that were not New York City or some other big city,” he said. Collins said that health experts never considered the ripple effects of their decisions. “The public health people — we talked about this earlier and this really important point — if you’re a public health person and you’re trying to make a decision, you have this very narrow view of what the right decision is. And that is something that will save a life; it doesn’t matter what else happens,” he said. “So you attach infinite value to stopping the disease and saving a life. You attach zero value to whether this actually totally disrupts people’s lives, ruins the economy, and has many kids kept out of school in a way that they never quite recover from. So, yeah, collateral damage,” he said. “This is a public health mindset and I think a lot of us involved in trying to make those recommendations had that mindset and that was really unfortunate. It’s another mistake we made,” he said. It’s hard to overstate how irresponsible and destructive Francis Collins’ view is and was. He dispensed with all the rest of public health to focus on covid and lockdown, and countless millions — especially children and the poor — paid the price, sometimes with their lives. https://t.co/J8dv5ro3xV — Jay Bhattacharya (@DrJBhattacharya) December 31, 2023 The Wall Street Journal responded with an editorial that noted, “This was precisely the argument we made on March 20, 2020 (‘Rethinking the Virus Shutdown’), for politicians not to accept the lockdown advice of public-health officials as gospel. They think too narrowly, and political leaders have to consider the larger consequences of policies for the public good.” “Dr. Collins’s mini-mea culpa still doesn’t make up for his collaboration with Anthony Fauci to discredit the Great Barrington Declaration, which advocated a strategy of focused protection on the elderly and vulnerable while letting younger people at lower risk continue with their lives. Nor does the former NIH head apologize for trying to censor different health-policy advice,” the editorial, which also noted that this interview was part of a summer symposium hosted by a bipartisan group, stated. The Journal noted that the “lockdowns did tremendous harm that we are still living with. That and the effort by Drs. Collins and Fauci to shut off all debate is a major reason the public has lost trust in public-health experts.” In an Op-Ed on National Review, Rich Lowry wrote that what Collins said earlier last year would have triggered punishments during the pandemic. “Not too long ago, anyone who said that epidemiologists might be overly focused on disease prevention to the exclusion of other concerns — you know, like jobs, mental health, and schooling — were dismissed as reckless nihilists who didn’t care if their fellow citizens died en masse,” he wrote. “If Francis Collins and his cohort got it wrong, the likes of Florida governor Ron DeSantis and Georgia governor Brian Kemp — and the renegade scientists and doctors who supported their more modulated approach to the pandemic — got it right,” he wrote.

At the ‘2023 MBC Drama Awards,’ Miyeon from (G)I-DLE sang her original song, ‘Painted On The Moonlight,’ from the popular K-Drama, My Dearest. Even though Miyeon did her best during the live performance, some people felt it wasn't as good as they expected. This led to many negative comments criticizing her singing abilities. According to Koreaboo, online communities like theqoo had several posts with 400 to 1,000 comments each, all talking about Miyeon's singing. For a short time, the videos of her performance were reportedly taken down from NAVER TV and YouTube. While the reasons weren't clear, many think it was because of the negative reactions from Korea. After facing all the criticism, Miyeon took to her Instagram Stories to apologize to the viewers. She mentioned being nervous during the performance and acknowledged that she messed up. She shared, “Dear viewers of the MBC Drama Awards… And Nevies… I had the honor of performing a song tonight. And I was so excited to be able to sing a track that I love so much. But I was so nervous, and so I was off-pitch… I messed up big time. I monitored the performance, and I figured that I must have surprised a lot of people. I’m sorry for disappointing the viewers, especially when I was there to congratulate the celebration. Going forward, I’ll try even harder. The performance at SBS Entertainment Awards was a blast, too. Thank you all for watching.:” After Miyeon's apology, K-Pop fans from all around the world flooded her Instagram and the performance video was restored with messages of love and support.	https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/k-pop/music/news/gi-dles-miyeon-issues-apology-for-her-performance/articleshow/106419502.cms	2024-01-01T02:11:55Z

Seen him play once, looked good. Todibo, Romero and Van De Ven would be a really strong back 3. Is there no room for Udogie in there? If not, maybe we could make a move for him in Janaury to aid our defensive woes, if he's not too expensive. How much is Udogie in the window? Crosby Nick never fails. Get out. Bryan Gil, Bryan Zaragoza. Whats up with often seeing Bryan name in Spanish language? We already have shit in the country, and the game of Liverpool fills life with joy. Thanks Bryan is just the spanish version of Brian. Spain has a lot of names just translated into Spanish versions, like Alejandro, or Fernando (Germanic Ferdinand), Carlos is just their version of Charles.I suppose the thing that makes it look odd is that it looks the same to us Spurs have shifted from Todibo to Dragusin at Genoa.

Skin color, identity, and race are all very important topics for certain religious camps. In fact, the Black Hebrew Israelite movement has built an entire platform and focus that is dedicated to promoting a very specific narrative of the “Lost Sheep” of the 12 Tribes of Israel (House of Israel). In this short video, I will put ALL of the speculation to rest, give verifiable proof from the Scriptures about color in the Bible, and I will expose this popular narrative for what it is—a divide and conquer paradigm of pride and “hating your brother without a cause.” Be careful, because there is a curse for this kind of behavior, as we will find out in Numbers 12!

Words for Me, but Not for Thee: Jemele Hill Exposes Rank Racial Double Standard with 'Thug' Remarks One of the hallmarks of the far left is its insistence on deconstructing language until anything can mean anything, which is an awfully convenient way to weaponize any word at any time for any reason. The most recent example of this came in some public discourse over the use of the term “thug,” and whether it has any sort of racial connotations behind it. Interestingly enough, this discussion was sparked thanks to the Denver Broncos. Long story short, the Broncos are mired in seismic turmoil and former Pittsburgh Steeler and current ESPN NFL pundit Ryan Clark pins the lion’s share of the blame for that on Denver head coach Sean Payton. Clark blasted Payton, claiming that the 60-year-old veteran coach “behaved like a thug” with how he treated soon-to-be former Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson. You can watch the comments below: “Let’s be honest: Sean Payton has behaved as a thug since he became the coach of the Denver Broncos. Immediately when he gets in the building, he starts to undercut Russell Wilson personally and professionally from his first press conference on.” – Ryan Clark on “Get Up” this… pic.twitter.com/u3KxreAaIb — Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) December 29, 2023 “Let’s be honest,” Clark said on the Thursday edition of the ESPN morning sports talk show “Get Up.” “Sean Payton has behaved as a thug since he became the coach of the Denver Broncos. Immediately when he gets in the building, he starts to undercut Russell Wilson, personally and professionally, from his first press conference on. Clark would later add: “From the beginning, [Payton] walked into this building and he had a point to prove when it came to Russell Wilson.” Whatever one may think of that tangled situation in the Mile High City, Clark clearly had one fan of his fiery screed, and that’s his former ESPN cohort and noted race-baiter Jemele Hill. “That man @Realrclark25 came with the high heat on Sean Payton,” Hill posted to X. When a random X user pointd out that, had this been a white pundit calling a black coach a “thug,” Hill would likely be condemning the rhetoric (an accurate prediction), Hill lashed out at the internet nobody. I know this will be difficult for you to grasp but context matters. White people calling Black people thugs has a completely different connotation — depending on context. There are words and phrases that women can use with each other that men cannot use on us. Hope your brain… https://t.co/mrVYFtFNrI — Jemele Hill (@jemelehill) December 29, 2023 “I know this will be difficult for you to grasp but context matters,” she wrote in an X post. “White people calling Black people thugs has a completely different connotation — depending on context. There are words and phrases that women can use with each other that men cannot use on us. “Hope your brain doesn’t explode.” There’s just no other way to put this: Hill is just flat-out wrong. Words mean what they mean. If using the color of a man or woman’s skin as the basis of judging behavior is wrong (and it is) you cannot pretend the meaning of words changes based on the skin color of the speaker. That’s just not how a logical language works.When leftists claim that it does, they expose the racial double standard they live by: They get to judge what is racist and what isn’t. What is allowed and what isn’t. For the left, the value of words — or the harm in them — depends entirely on the way progressives wish to use them. The n-word debate is a well-worn version of this same argument (spoiler alert: nobody should say it, it’s a racist term), but you don’t have to look very far back in sports history to find a leftist deciding what a word should mean as a matter of convenience. NBA star LeBron James infamously blasted legendary NBA coach Phil Jackson — a man whose sensibilities run counter to the left-leaning vibes of James and Hill — for daring to use the term “posse” to describe James’ inner circle of friends. In a November 2016 interview, Jackson told ESPN about a time when James, then playing for the Miami Heat, wanted to spend an extra night in Cleveland, where he is from, after a game against the Cavaliers. After Jackson recalled that the request was overruled by Heat president Pat Riley, he added: “You can’t hold up the whole team because you and your mom and your posse want to spend an extra night in Cleveland.” “It’s the word ‘posse’ and the characterization I take offense to,” James’ business associate Maverick Carter, and part of the “posse” described by Jackson, told ESPN. “If he would have said LeBron and his agent, LeBron and his business partners or LeBron and his friends, that’s one thing. “Yet, because you’re young and black, he can use that word. We’re grown men.” For his part, James told ESPN: “It just sucks that now, at this point, having one of the biggest businesses you can have both on and off the floor, having a certified agent in Rich Paul, having a certified business partner in Maverick Carter that’s done so many great business [deals], that the title for young African-Americans is the word ‘posse.'” Well, newsflash for Hill, James and Carter: The burden can’t be on the rest of civilization to appeal to them. Google’s dictionary (and nobody would exactly be sprinting to describe Google as “traditional” in any sense of the word) is powered by Oxford Languages and offers these definitions: - Thug: a violent, aggressive person, especially one who is a criminal. - Posse: a group of people who have a common characteristic, occupation, or purpose. Where, pray tell, apart from “what you feel like,” does race play any role in the definitions of “thug” or “posse”? It simply doesn’t. It’s just the left’s way of making language utterly meaningless and more people need to call it out. It’s a small, but meaningful, fight that conservatives conceded for far too long.

Police arrest suspect in Christmas Eve sledgehammer assault, robbery TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - The man who police said assaulted someone with a sledgehammer and stole his gun on Christmas Eve was arrested on New Year’s Eve, according to court records. Police issued an arrest warrant earlier this week for Joshua Timothy White, who turned 34 Sunday. Investigators said the sledgehammer belonged to the victim but didn’t describe what led up to the alleged assault. The victim grabbed his revolver to defend himself, police said, but White allegedly took it from his hand, pointed it at him, and threatened to shoot him. White then got away with the gun and sledgehammer, according to police. Police arrested White Sunday afternoon and booked him in the Lucas County Jail. He’s charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon, a first-degree felony. He’s due in court Tuesday. See a spelling or grammar error in our story?

It was a year full of interesting experiments in the Kannada film industry with small, content-driven films making an impact. Among the frontrunners spearheading change in his own way was actor Dhananjaya who continued his run as a producer with as many as three films in 2023. “The year went by without as many star-driven films on the screens as there should have been. While a lot of small films have stood their ground, a good number of star-driven films is necessary to maintain balance in the business of films. 2024, in that way, will be a much better year for the Kannada film industry because there are a lot of big-budget films that are expected to hit the screens,” explains Dhananjaya. He tells us about his vision for the film industry and what would be the ideal way forward in the new year. Excerpts: ‘NEWCOMERS MUST BE NURTURED; STAR-DRIVEN FILMS ARE IMPORTANT FOR BUSINESS’ Over the few years since he turned producer, Dhananjaya says he has focused on backing projects that feature new directors and technicians. “We are in the business of selling dreams and when you do not find a producer or team to back your dreams, you tend to work towards figuring out how to make your dreams come true yourself. That is probably the reason why you find so many people who manage different combinations of jobs – there are so many of us who are actor-producer, actor-writer, actor-director, etc. Turning producer, for me, at the time was a necessity more than a choice. I had to create my own way. This is one of the main reasons why I back films helmed by newcomers. With new directors comes new ideas, new teams, new actors and new talent across departments. That flow is great for the overall health of the film industry,” he explains. Having said that, the actor also says, “There is an audience for all sorts of films and the most important sort of films that get the cycle of this business run smoothly are the star-driven films. In 2023, not many of the stars here had films ready for release. That affected the overall balance for the year. The new year will be a revamp of sorts because there are a lot of star-driven films that are scheduled for release. I, personally, have three films in the pipeline, including Uttarakhand and Anna from Mexico; and will be the happiest if all three do hit the screens within the year.” ‘SOUTH TALENTS MERGING ACROSS BORDERS ARE A GREAT WAY TO INCREASE THE REACH AND SUCCESS OF A FILM’The year gone by has seen a steep rise in the number of actors appearing in films and on television in other states across the south. “The merging of such talent is great for business. For instance, Kannada star Shivarajkumar’s presence in Tamil star Rajinikanth’s film Jailor, opened up a world where fans of both the actors enjoyed the camaraderie on screen. This increases the reach and therefore adds to the BO collections. However, it is mandatory that the story, first, has to be good, for any of such mergers and shared talent to help the film reach its full potential of success,” says Dhananjaya.	https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movies/news/2024-will-be-a-great-year-for-kannada-cinema-dhananjaya/articleshow/106419422.cms	2024-01-01T02:12:01Z
Bad Boys apparently really are for life as it seems that this action-packed franchise isn’t ending anytime soon with SonyPictures’ Bad Boys 4 already in production. The series centered around detectives Mike Lowery and Marcus Burnett of the Miami PD has already produced three blockbuster films that have grossed over $840 million as well as a spinoff television show, L.A.’s Finest, making it one of the most successful buddy-cop action-comedy series in history. The most recent film, Bad Boys for Life, was one of the last movies to hit theaters before the pandemic shut them all down and was able to be a critical and monetary success – so why would the franchise stop now? Will Smith and Martin Lawrence (Lowery and Burnett) recently announced that a fourth film will be coming to theaters and that they’ll both be returning to the buddy-cop franchise. This is music to the ears of fans of the series since Bad Boys for Life left several loose ends and potential plot-lines for the detectives to follow and adding another movie to the franchise is the perfect way to address them. So, all of that said, let’s take a further look into everything we know about Bad Boys 4. Plot So far, nobody besides the people working on the movie know the plot. That said, based off of the information and loose ends that occurred at the end of Bad Boys for Life we can make a couple of educated guesses. The plot that makes the most sense for a sequel would most likely see Mike and Marcus working on a new case with AMMO with a side-plot of Mike mending/working on his relationship with his son. Fans will remember that the last movie ended with Mike and Marcus being put in charge of AMMO with Mike visiting his son, Armando, in prison and offering him a chance at redemption, so this plot would follow up on those loose ends. Again, this is all speculation, but it would be odd for the previous movie to give such heavy leads and them completely dismiss them. Cast Again, the fourth film was only recently announced so there aren’t a surplus of details yet. Stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence will assuredly return as detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, with Eric Dane (known for Euphoria and Grey’s Anatomy) playing the movie’s villain. Actor Ioan Gruffudd (known for Fantastic 4) has also been cast in an undisclosed role and Tasha Smith has been cast to replace Theresa Randle as Marcus Burnett’s wife. Better Call Saul star Rhea Seehorn also signed on for an undisclosed role. Despite the cast not having a long confirmed list, just like with the plot, we can speculate about who may or may not appear in the film. Since Mike and Marcus were put in charge of AMMO it was assumed that the other members of the group would return as well, meaning that Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, Charles Melton, and Jacob Scipio could all easily show up. Indeed, Hudgens and Ludwig are back, but Charles Melton, who just broke out (and may be Oscar-nominated) for May December, doesn’t seem to be in the cast. Scipio also seems to be sitting the movie out, despite the fact that his character, who is revealed to be the son of Will Smith’s Mike Lowery, was teed up to be a major part of the sequel in the post-credits scene following Bad Boys for Life. However, Paola Núñez is returning as the newly promoted Captain Rita Secada. . Everything Else Fans assuredly will want to know when they can expect to see Miami’s finest detectives back on the big-screen, but unfortunately Bad Boys 4 doesn’t have an official release date yet. Not to mention, Bad Boys 4 is not the official title since the film has not revealed what it is yet, which shoudl be revealed on the trailer finally drops. This is Smith’s first theatrically released film since the infamous Oscar slap derailed his career. Whether this is a hit or not will tell us whether his career can bounce back. The movie will be directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah (they took over for OG director Michael Bay after the first two films – although he had a cameo in the third film) and will be written by Chris Bremner, the same man who penned Bad Boys for Life. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who produced all the other movies is back too. It will be El Arbi and Fallah’s first film since Batgirl was scrapped by WB. When Does It Come Out? Bad Boys 4 is slated for June 14th, 2024.	https://www.joblo.com/bad-boys-4/	2024-01-01T02:12:02Z

I'm not sure Arsenal will drop out of the top 4 and I also wouldn't write them off being close to the top of the league mid-April. Strange things can happen in football, nobody can say they won't win it. The problem with my own statement is that they haven't got the best manager in the world like we have. Arteta hasn't got the capacity to take them over the line to win a title, at the moment he'll need a run-in that Leicester enjoyed. And I don't expect that to happen to both Jurgen and Pep again in the same year. Let's laugh at them and disrespect them considerably, but don't quite lose sight of them. We've also jeopardised our title chances over the Christmas period without recovering sufficiently.	https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=354527.msg19224906	2024-01-01T02:12:02Z

As 2023 drew to a close, debutant director Abhijit Mahesh, gave bachelors a cheeky heads-up with their latest single release. The makers of 'Bachelor Party' have launched a song titled 'Warning Song'. The foot-tapping track seems to become the anthem for singles everywhere, especially as the New Year festivities beckon. The ‘Warning Song’, featuring the captivating vocals of Vijay Prakash, humorously describes the risks of getting married. The catchy hook, " Bedavo Magane, Nooru Tharada Scam Maduve", cheekily suggests that marriage might just be a scheme better avoided. The cleverly constructed party track lets listeners groove away their relationship fears. The film’s music is composed by Arjun Ramu, and the song 'Warning Song' features attractive lyrics penned by Abhijit Mahesh and Veeresh Shivamurthy. The anticipation surrounding Bachelor Party is building, and this song definitely sets the tone by promising fans a fun ride full of dancing, laughter, and a sprinkling of comedy aimed at the bachelors in the house. Yogesh, often referred to as " Loose Maada" Yogi, adds spice to the song by showcasing his dance skills. Shine Shetty and a lively group of people around him, maintaining a high level of activity and giving viewers a preview of the vibrant style of the movie. ‘Bachelor Party’, which is expected for a January 26 theatrical release, is expected to offer a mix of humour, entertainment, and real-life narratives.

The final week of the year is always a hard one to predict as most movies see a halo effect from their Christmas week box office. Despite no huge tent pole film hitting theaters this Christmas, the box office for Christmas weekend was actually up 14% from last year, but unlike last year when Avatar: The Way of Water really dominated the charts, this year we are seeing several films play to different audiences that are pulling in a range of numbers from disappointing to surprising. The surprise, or perhaps not really a surprise as it is what I thought would happen, is that Wonka is leaping out ahead of the competition to become the big winner of the holiday season. After Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and The Color Purple had their times in the top spot, Wonka has shown that it is the move people really want to see as it has held a first place finish for most of the week and should continue that this weekend with around $20 million in receipts. You can check out Chris Bumbray’s 7/10 review here. Second place gets a bit more muddled. The animated birds of Migration saw some healthy numbers this week, coming in second place on Thursday. Can this latest film from Illumination bring in families this weekend as they wait for the fireworks to ring in a new year? It is quite possible, but standing in its way are Aquaman and The Color Purple. For Aquaman, the writing is on the wall, audiences and critics are less than thrilled with the film and they are showing it with their wallets. Of course, it is a big budget spectacle that plays best on a big Imax screen, so a second week take in the mid teens is possible. When it comes to The Color Purple, it had a tremendous Christmas Day debut, but quickly fell the next day, dropping over 60% of its audience. That decline continued throughout the week, but perhaps audiences were just waiting for the weekend to get check this one out? Right now, the film is tracking towards a high teens weekend take (technically its first weekend in theaters), but today’s numbers will be telling to see if this one was front loaded, aided by Warner Bros push for Group Sale tickets. You can check out Chris Bumbray’s 7/10 review here. For spot five it looks like audiences are embracing their raunchy side for the R rated comedy Anyone But You which has seen steady numbers since opening. With a split budget of $25 million (meaning the budget was split between two companies) this one should be able to at the very least not lose money for either studio while also not breaking new ground in the romantic comedy genre. With families embracing Wonka and Migration it seems the feel good sports drama from George Clooney is seeing a less than stellar debut with a full first week take around $20 million. The good news is that Clooney kept his budget in check at around $40 million. With solid word of mouth (the film currently holds a strong 97% audience score) this one should be able to leg out to a respectable finish. A film that isn’t seeing such a great debut is Michael Mann’s Ferrari with a first week take in the mid to high teens. With a budget of around $95 million, this biopic needed a stronger debut and with a fairly low 72% audience score, this one should fade to obscurity fairly quickly. I will say I enjoyed the film, it started off a bit slow but by the time it ended I was fully absorbed by the drama that unfolded. Penelope Cruz deserves an Oscar nomination for her amazingly fierce performance. Will you be closing out 2023 by attending a movie? Let us know in the comments and don’t forget to check back tomorrow when we have a full rundown kn this weekend’s box office numbers.	https://www.joblo.com/box-office-update-wonka-to-end-2023-on-top/	2024-01-01T02:12:08Z

We need stronger teams in the league who wont roll over for City. It was mentioned a few days or weeks ago, but City are such nonentities in football that it works in their favour - teams don't try enough against them. But they do try against us, because we're Liverpool. If teams fought half as hard against Abu Dhabi as they do against us, it would make the league far more competitive. I like a weak Man United for example, but we need them to at least be threatening to be competitive. To that end, we need Arsenal to be in the mix, and whichever other team can put up a fight - be it Villa or any other team.	https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=355298.msg19224904	2024-01-01T02:12:09Z

Chief Justice Roberts casts a wary eye on the uses of artificial intelligence in the federal courts WASHINGTON (AP) — Chief Justice John Roberts on Sunday turned his focus to the promise, and shortcomings, of artificial intelligence in the federal courts, in an annual report that made no mention of Supreme Court ethics or legal controversies involving Donald Trump. Describing artificial intelligence as the “latest technological frontier,” Roberts discussed the pros and cons of computer-generated content in the legal profession. His remarks come just a few days after the latest instance of AI-generated fake legal citations making their way into official court records, in a case involving ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen. “Always a bad idea,” Roberts wrote in his year-end report, noting that “any use of AI requires caution and humility.” At the same time, though, the chief justice acknowledged that AI can make it much easier for people without much money to access the courts. “These tools have the welcome potential to smooth out any mismatch between available resources and urgent needs in our court system,” Roberts wrote. The report came at the end of a year in which a series of stories questioned the ethical practices of the justices and the court responded to critics by adopting its first code of conduct. Many of those stories focused on Justice Clarence Thomas and his failure to disclose travel, other hospitality and additional financial ties with wealthy conservative donors including Harlan Crow and the Koch brothers. But Justices Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor also have been under scrutiny. The country also is entering an the beginning of an election year that seems likely to enmesh the court in some way in the ongoing criminal cases against Trump and efforts to keep the Republican former president off the 2024 ballot. Along with his eight colleagues, Roberts almost never discusses cases that are before the Supreme Court or seem likely to get there. In past reports, he has advocated for enhanced security and salary increases for federal judges, praised judges and their aides for dealing with the coronavirus pandemic and highlighted other aspects of technological changes in the courts. Roberts once famously compared judges to umpires who call balls and strikes, but don’t make the rules. In his latest report, he turned to a different sport, tennis, to make the point that technology won’t soon replace judges. At many tennis tournaments, optical technology, rather than human line judges, now determines “whether 130 mile per hour serves are in or out. These decisions involve precision to the millimeter. And there is no discretion; the ball either did or did not hit the line. By contrast, legal determinations often involve gray areas that still require application of human judgment,” Roberts wrote. Looking ahead warily to the growing use of artificial intelligence in the courts, Roberts wrote: “I predict that human judges will be around for a while. But with equal confidence I predict that judicial work — particularly at the trial level — will be significantly affected by AI.” Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.

I love cartoons. Specifically cartoon series from the 80’s and 90’s. Whenever someone asks me what my favorite childhood cartoon is, I always say there are two. The first is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and the second is Darkwing Duck. I was the biggest fan of the masked mallard, and who wouldn’t be? He was brave, smart, egotistical, and accident-prone but would persevere against evil. He had a killer costume and cool equipment to fight bad guys. He had an awesome rogue’s gallery that was a bit of a joke but also surprisingly formidable. The cartoon was also not afraid to show its love for classic superhero comics at a time when the general public didn’t understand it. It even broke through the Iron Curtain at the height of the Cold War. But does this cartoon from the early 90’s still hold up? Is it a silly animated series that is now a chore to watch, or is it still the incredible show I remember? As Darkwing would say, “Let’s get dangerous” in this episode of Gone But Not Forgotten. Darkwing Duck was created by Edward T. “Tad” Stones. He is an American animator, storyboard artist, screenwriter, producer, and director. Tad started working for Disney in the 70’s, he trained under Disney animator Eric Larson. Larson was a legend in the animation field since he had worked for Disney since the 1930s. Stones was one of the people behind the formation of the Disney Afternoon. He worked on classic shows like Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers and Gummie Bears. The origin of Darkwing Duck is an interesting one. Originally Tad Stones was approached by Jeffrey Katzenberg to make a spin-off of Duck Tales based on the episode of Double-O-Duck. Katzenberg thought the name would be marketable to children. Stones was not thrilled as he thought the idea was a bland parody. As he said, “It didn’t have any heart; it wasn’t Disney.” So he presented the pitch, and Katzenberg said, “This is just a parody; it doesn’t have any heart; it’s not Disney.” So Tad had a second pitch: what if he was like the classic pulp characters from the 40’s like Doc Savage? The original pitch had Darkwing having a team to support him on missions. Another episode of Ducktales that influenced the pitch was the Ducktales episode called The Mask Mallard. The episode revolved around Scrooge McDuck becoming a superhero. It’s one of my favorite episodes of Ducktales and you can see where Darkwing’s look originated from. But, everything changed when they learned that the term Double-O was trademarked by the people who owned the character James Bond. So the name had to be dropped and the pitch mutated into a superhero show. Tad said the show sold when they decided to answer the question “What if Batman had a kid who would not stay at home?” This is when the character of Goslyn was introduced. Stones said that he based Goslyn on what he thought his two-year-old daughter would be like when she grew older Launchpad McQuack was in the original pitch as one of his team members. So he was kept around as Darkwing’s sidekick and pilot. Although he had to be tweaked a bit for the series since in Ducktales he was always crashing his plane. It always surprises me when I hear people say that Batman inspired Darkwing’s appearance. I can see why since in the Ducktales episode Scrooge’s superhero look is clearly Batman. But if you pay attention it was one of the classic characters that inspired Batman….The Shadow! I’m surprised people don’t see it. Another interesting fact was that the name Darkwing came about as a contest. When the original title of the show had to be dropped a new name was needed. But no one could come up with one so Stones decided to make a contest. If anyone could come up with a name for the show, they would win 500 dollars. Eventually, writer and producer Alan Burnett submitted the name Darkwing. Tad Stones loved it since it reminded him of Nightwing from DC comics. So he added Duck to Darkwing and voila Darkwing Duck. Kinda fitting that the man who wrote and produced the best Batman cartoon would be the guy who coined the name of one of the best Duck superheroes ever. Darkwing Duck was unique as, other than Launchpad, the show was one of the few cartoons in the Disney afternoon made up of original characters. You had Gosalyn Mallard who veteran voice actress Christine Cavanaugh played. Goslayn was always getting into trouble as she would sneak around and get involved in Darkwing’s adventures. Sometimes she would be a liability as she would be captured and need to be rescued. But, quite often, she would be the one to help Darkwing crack the case. Cavanaugh was the voice of so many of our favorite cartoon characters from our childhood. She was the voice of Babe in the Babe movies, she was Dexter from Dexter’s Laboratory, and my personal favorite Chucky Finster from Rugrats. Sadly Cavanaugh passed away in 2014. Another memorable voice on the cast was of one of Darkwing’s arch-nemesis Megavolt. He was voiced by Homer Simpson himself Dan Castellaneta. I really loved how he brought this unhinged stupidity to this electric-powered villain. Other great voice actors were Katie Leigh as Gosalyn’s best friend Honker, Terry McGovern as Launchpad, Rob Paulsen as villainous Steel Beak, Tino Insana as Bushroot, Kath Soucie as Darkwings true love Morgana, and so many more. But it was the legendary Jim Cummings who would bring Darkwing Duck to life. In my opinion, Jim Cummings is the VIP of voice acting. To me, he’s up there with Mel Blanc. The man has voiced so many iconic characters and I find it amazing how his voice just morphs into whatever role he is required to perform. Cummings has said that of all his roles, Darkwing Duck is his favorite. He said it was because it was the first character he ever had to develop a voice for. I don’t think I could ever see anyone play Darkwing Duck, although Chris Diamantopoulos voiced him in the Ducktales reboot, and he did a great job. But we will talk about the return from Darkwing Duck later. But let’s talk about another classic aspect of the show. The theme song!The song was composed by Philip Giffin, written by Steve Nelson and Thomas Sharp, and performed by Jeff Pescetto. The song is in my top five favorites right up there with the Gummie Bears theme song and Denver The Last Dinosaur. One of the reasons why Darkwing Duck still resonates with many of us is the writing. Some episodes were tributes to classic comics. A perfect example is the episode called “Aduckyphobia” which is a blatant tribute to Spider-Man. The episode is about Darkwing getting spider powers and renaming himself Arachno-Duck. The episode “The Secret Origins of Darkwing Duck” is a clear tribute to Superman. “Going Nowhere Fast” has a lot of nods to the Flash, like when they mention two doctors named Dr.Allen and Dr.Garrick. The names are the same as the alter egos of the Flash, Barry Allen, and his golden age counterpart Jay Garrick. I love so many episodes that it’s hard to pick my favorites. My top five are “Tiff of Titans” which features Darkwing and Gizmo Duck meeting for the first time. It has the classic two heroes hate each other and then team up to beat the bad guy cliché. But I didn’t care that it was done before. I loved seeing these two together. This brings us to the classic two-parter “Just Us Justice Ducks”. As you can tell, the comic book-inspired episodes were some of my favorites. I think this was because this was not something seen very often. It’s pure comic book love. There were so many episodes that were either inspired by comics or were full of comic book easter eggs. My other two favourite episodes were “Life, the Negaverse, and Everything” and “Time and Punishment.” “Life, The Negaverse, and Everything” featured my favorite Darkwing Duck villain Negaduck. He was Darkwings evil doppelgänger. In his first appearance, Nega Duck is just the evil aspect of Darkwing’s personality when he is accidentally split in two by megavolts tronsplitter ray. When the episode was produced, Tad loved Negaduck and wanted him to come back. So, the writers decided to bring him back by making him a completely new character. This time, they made him an alternate universe version of Darkwing. In “Life, The Negaverse and Everything,” we finally see his home dimension, The Negaverse, which is a clear tribute to Earth 3 from the DC universe where the evil versions of the Justice League, The Crime Syndicate, live. Another great comic book easter egg is that Negaduck’s costume is clearly based on Flashe’s archenemy, The Reverse Flash. I guess I’m a sucker for evil dimensions, watch the Sliders episode we covered before on Gone But Not Forgotten to see how much. Some other great episodes are a Twin Peaks tribute episode called “Twin Beaks” or “Twitching Channels” which is an episode where Darkwing is transported to our world. The episode is ahead of its time with its meta-humor when Darkwing has to deal with Hollywood making money off of his adventures. But I think the best episode of Darkwing Duck was “Time and Punishment”. In the episode, Gosalyn accidentally gets transported to a dark future where Darkwing has become Dark Warrior Duck. In this timeline, when Gosalyn disappears, Darkwing becomes unhinged and turns into a twisted version of himself. Dark Warrior becomes a despot as he has taken over St.Canard where he puts people in jail for life just for littering or jaywalking. You can see nods to Frank Miller’s Dark Knight Returns in the episode, but Dark Warrior’s look resembles Judge Dredd’s costume. Isn’t it funny that a future version of Batman would also use robots to police Gotham City in Kingdom Come just like Dark Warrior does? What I love about the episode is the relationship between Dark Warrior and Gosalyn. This just shows how important Gosalyn is to Darkwing. Darkwing Duck was a hit when it aired. In fact, Darkwing Duck was one of the first animated shows that was syndicated in the former Soviet Union. This was a huge accomplishment, considering it was just after the Cold War, and Russia was very strict about what American media could be shown in the country. So, I’m sure you’re wondering why Darkwing Duck was cancelled. I mean, it was a hit. Well, technically, it wasn’t cancelled. You see, at the time, Disney would order 61 episodes of a cartoon and then just rerun them as much as they could. There was never supposed to be more than that. However, Darkwing was so popular that more episodes were ordered, and the show ended with a total of 91 episodes. So in December of 1992, the last produced episode of Darkwing Duck was aired, and fans said goodbye to the terror that flaps at night. Until 2017, Darkwing Duck returned to the small screen on the Ducktales reboot. In this continuity, Darkwing is a fictional character from a now-cancelled TV show. The original actor, Jim Starling, has become bitter and tries to sabotage a movie reboot of his TV show. Drake Mallard is an actor and president of the Darkwing Duck fan club. This new Darkwing fights Jim Starling, who has now taken up the mantle of Nega Duck. The Darkwing Duck episodes of Ducktales are some of my favorites, I highly recommend you go watch them. So the question is, will Darkwing get a new series? Well, since 2020, a reboot has been in the works with Tad Stone as a consultant. But as of now, there has been no news about developing a new series. This has led many fans to worry that the new Darkwing Duck project is stuck in development hell. I hope not. I will say that the new Rescue Rangers film has proven that those classic Disney Afternoon cartoons are a valuable I.P. So Darkwing is definitely on the high-value list. hell even in the Rescue Rangers movie, Darkwing himself has given the battle cry to fans to demand he return to the small screen. At this time, if you want new Darkwing Duck content, then I highly suggest you pick up the new Dynamite Darkwing Duck comics. Amanda Deibert has penned some great stories for the series and Carlo Lauro’s artwork is amazing. But if you’re interested in seeing the classic Darkwing Duck episodes, you can find them on Disney Plus…well, almost all of them. There is one episode of Darkwing Duck that was originally banned and I think Disney Plus may have either accidentally or purposely excluded this episode from their library. The episode in question is called “Hot Spells.” It involves Gosalyn making a deal with the devil. I don’t think I have to say why it was banned. It’s pretty obvious. Still, last time I checked someone had uploaded it to YouTube and I believe you may be able to watch it on Disney Plus outside of the United States. But since I live in the U.S., I can’t confirm it. So I would say that tonight I think you should don your cape and hat. Sit back on your couch with your trusted remote and watch the greatest duck superhero be the terror in the night. Just watch out for his pesky gas gun.	https://www.joblo.com/darkwing-duck-gone-but-not-forgotten/	2024-01-01T02:12:14Z
Godzilla Minus One is brilliant. The set pieces with the monster were tense as fook. The movie also had a nice bit of heart thrown in for good measure. A definite nod to JAWS in the first act. I am usually a heathen when it comes to movie sound and music but I thought the Film score was magnificent. My lad reckons its the best film hes watched at the cinema this year. Cheers for the heads up RAWKites.	https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=77391.msg19224903	2024-01-01T02:12:15Z

Michigan home explosion heard for miles kills 4 and injures 2, police say DETROIT (AP) — Four people died and two others were injured Saturday in a Michigan house explosion that could be heard miles away, police said. The explosion happened before 4 p.m. in Northfield Township, about 45 miles (72.4 kilometers) west of Detroit. The structure was destroyed, leaving only the basement, Northfield Township Police Lt. David Powell told reporters Saturday. The blast, which could be heard about 9 miles (14.4 kilometers) away, sent debris into the air that landed on both sides of a nearby highway. Neighboring homes were not damaged, Powell said. Six people were in the home, with four fatalities discovered at the scene and the two surviving victims hospitalized in critical condition. Police did not immediately know if the victims were related, Powell said. Authorities have not determined the cause of the explosion. Northfield Township police did not immediately return a message from The Associated Press seeking additional information on Sunday. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.

The video game adaptation Five Nights at Freddy’s (read our review HERE) quickly became Blumhouse Productions’ highest-grossing movie when it reached theatres and the Peacock streaming service back in October, surpassing the likes of Split, The Invisible Man, The Black Phone, M3GAN, the recent Halloween sequel trilogy, and the Paranormal Activity, Insidious, and The Purge franchises with its haul of $295 million. So we should be hearing a sequel announcement any day now… and cast member Matthew Lillard says he would be excited to come back for another Five Nights at Freddy’s. Lillard told Syfy Wire he would love to reprise the role of William Afton. “If it does come back, and if I’m lucky to be brought back, sure, yeah. I mean, I barely got to touch him, right? I got to kill my daughter, but we know nothing about him. We know nothing about his history, about his journey. All those things that the fans have filled in for year after year, I’m excited to, with and [director Emma Tammi], fill in all those pieces that the fans have always wondered about. How do we fill out expectations and how do we fill out the lore? I’ll be excited to be a piece of that story.“ Five Nights at Freddy’s stars Lillard alongside Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Game), Mary Stuart Masterson (Benny & Joon), Elizabeth Lail (You), Piper Rubio (Holly & Ivy), and Kat Conner Sterling (A Week Away). The film follows a troubled security guard as he begins working at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. While spending his first night on the job, he realizes the night shift at Freddy’s won’t be so easy to make it through. Stunt performers Kevin Foster (WandaVision), Jade Kindar-Martin (Interview with the Vampire), and Jess Weiss (Mayfair Witches) play the animatronics Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, and Chica. The video game takes place in Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, a darker version of Chuck-E-Cheese, where an animatronic animal band performs kiddy songs by day, and goes on murderous rampages by night. The goal of the game is survive a night locked inside, knowing that a furry death machine might jump out of the dark at any moment. The adaptation was originally set up at Warner Bros., where Gil Kenan (Monster House) was going to direct the film from a screenplay he was writing with Tyler Burton Smith (the Child’s Play remake). Then the project moved over to Blumhouse, where Chris Columbus (Home Alone) was attached to direct it for several years. But now it has gone into production with Emma Tammi – director of The Wind, Into the Dark: Delivered, and Into the Dark: Blood Moon – at the helm, working from a screenplay she wrote with Seth Cuddeback (Mateo) and video game creator Scott Cawthon. Tragedy Girls writers Tyler MacIntyre and Chris Lee Hill share story credit with Cawthon. Five Nights at Freddy’s was produced by Blumhouse, in association with Striker Entertainment. Cawthon is a producer alongside Blumhouse founder Jason Blum. Russell Binder is executive producing. Jim Henson’s Creature Shop handled the special effects that help bring the homicidal animatronic animals to life on the screen.

The Kannada film industry has seen a trend towards films with a longer runtime. Big ticket releases such as ‘Jawaan’, ‘Gadar 2’, ‘Animal’, and the most recent ‘Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire’ have stayed close to or slightly over three hours. This pattern suggests the aim of filmmakers to give viewers complete stories that are rich with romance, drama, and thrilling action scenes. Nevertheless, the prolonged duration demands the complete focus and patience of the audience. ‘Kaatera’ by Tharun Sudhir, which has a runtime of almost 2 hours and 59 minutes has joind this league. It's interesting to note that title cards extend the film's duration just beyond three hours. Fans have various opinions about it; some are excited about what the movie might offer, while others are worried about the pacing and story. One social media user remarked, " Songs jasti ide ansute," suggesting that too many songs could potentially disrupt the film's flow. Even if some viewers are still concerned about the longer running time, they want a seamless story without needless song breaks or forced humour. Despite its commercial goals, 'Kaatera' delves into a profound societal issue. The film's trailer hints at Tharun Sudhir's intention to approach this subject matter with depth and sincerity. Interestingly, Darshan's portrayal in 'Kaatera' puts his acting skills above his famous status, which may help to explain the film's long-running length. The musical elements of the movie too have caused discussions among viewers. Many questioned the use of traditional songs like the duet "Yava Janumada Gelathi," saying that a more modern soundtrack would be more appropriate for a gritty action movie like ‘Kaatera’. Darshan, however, recently defended the nostalgic musical aspects of the movie, stressing that one should watch the whole thing before making a judgment. Kaatera - Theme Song(Lyrical) Taking a deep dive into the story, 'Kaatera' places Darshan in the role of a blacksmith leading a revolution against oppressive landlords, and the film is based on real-life events.	https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movies/news/runtime-of-darshans-kaatera-piques-audience-interest/articleshow/106422995.cms	2024-01-01T02:12:26Z
Actor Mark Wahlberg seems to be sticking to one of his traditions and ringing in the New Year in Barbados. In 2022, he was on island to start the year as well with his family. This time, as the curtain comes down on 2023, DJ Khaled, who is in Barbados or ‘Rihados’ as he likes to call it, caught up with Wahlberg on the green. DJ Khaled posted a 31-second clip of him driving the ball “Down the middle”, according to Wahlberg. DJ Khaled said that’s how he hits when he’s with the “big boys”. He gives Wahlberg a knock or first bump and walks to his gold cart. Wahlberg was rocking his Municipal brand. He has been dropping ‘drip checks’ on his own Instagram for the last couple of weeks and days. The Municipal Partner was even wearing a Municipal cap to protect himself from the sun’s rays. Wahlberg has commented four times on DJ Khaled’s video and since reshared it in his own IG story. DJ Khaled’s reel in some five hours has amassed 20.3K likes and been shared over 1.7K times. They were playing at The Green Monkey, 22-acres of pristine green and sand pits along the West coast of Barbados at the 5-diamond luxury resort Sandy Lane.	https://barbadosgazette.com/actor-mark-wahlberg-and-dj-khaled-play-golf-together-in-barbados-loop-barbados/	2024-01-01T02:12:26Z
Jeremy Renner has had a trying — and inspirational — year. To cap off 2023, the actor visited the same hospital where he was treated following his New Year’s Day accident which left him with major chest trauma and 30 broken bones. It’s a most fitting way to conclude the year for him, showing not just how much he appreciates his medical professionals but life itself. Jeremy Renner took to Instagram this week to share the moment and kind words about those that helped him in his recovery. “Rollin through Reno, NV with joy, blessings, and [pizza]!!!! Stopped by to see kids/superheroes, first responders, and doctors, nurses and staff at Renown hospital Paying my respects and celebrating love, life and the blessings it brings to us all. Thank you and this community for keeping me here.. I’m forever in your debt with gratitude”. 2023 has been a difficult year in the industry. We saw two of the biggest strikes in Hollywood history with both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA launching simultaneous ones, not to mention far too many deaths of icons that we have admired for so long. It’s difficult to think but Jeremy Renner could have been among them, as he was struck and partially crushed by a seven-ton snowcat. But he has proven to be remarkably resilient, something the actor has been characteristically modest about in his numerous social media posts throughout his recovery despite being a hero to many. Adding to this, it was recently confirmed by the actor that he would return to filming his series Mayor of Kingstown for the forthcoming third season. During his recovery, Jeremy Renner not only promoted the second season of Mayor of Kingstown — which premiered two weeks after his accident — but launched an entirely new series, Rennervations, for Disney+, the April red carpet premiere of which marked his first public outing since the accident. With such progress and positive vibes, we can’t help but be happy for Jeremy Renner and hope for an even more productive 2024. What do you want to see Jeremy Renner involved with in the new year?

PGA Tour seeks extension on commercial deal with Saudis, private investors (AP) - The PGA Tour believes it has made enough progress with the Saudi backers of LIV Golf to extend their negotiations into next year for a new commercial deal that would include a U.S. investment group and the European tour. Commissioner Jay Monahan sent a memo to players on Sunday afternoon, just seven hours before the deadline to finalize the deal that was set in the June 6 framework agreement. The PGA Tour board unanimously agreed three weeks ago to negotiate exclusively with Strategic Sports Group, a consortium of American-based professional sports teams owners led by Fenway Sports Group. Monahan said the tour has made “meaningful progress” with SSG and provided the group with all the information it requested. “As we move forward in our discussions, we are focused on the finalization of terms and drafts of necessary documents,” Monahan said. Far more complicated are the negotiations with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, the financial supporters of the rival LIV Golf League which lured away Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka in 2022, and most recently Masters champion Jon Rahm earlier this month. Monahan described conversations with PIF and the European tour as “active and productive.” The framework agreement was to expire Dec. 31, though it included language that the deadline could be extended if all parties agreed. “We are working to extend our negotiations into next year based on the progress we have made to date,” Monahan said in his memo. Monahan said the goal for 2024 was to reach agreements with SSG, PIF and the European tour to bring them in as minority co-investors in the for-profit PGA Tour Enterprises. “These partnerships will allow us to unify, innovate and invest in the game for the benefit of players, fans and sponsors,” Monahan said. Under the framework agreement, PIF Governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan would have a seat on the PGA Tour board. The agreement also included PGA Tour Enterprises doing an “objective, empirical-driven evaluation” of LIV and to determine if team golf can be integrated into the PGA Tour and European tour. It also was to determine a “fair and objective” process for LIV players who might want to return to the PGA Tour or European tour, which is said to be a sticking point because of the players who turned down Saudi riches to remain on the PGA Tour. The PGA Tour season begins Thursday at The Sentry on Maui, the first of eight “signature” events with a $20 million purse and limited field. LIV Golf already has announced the bulk of its 2024 schedule and $20 million purses. It starts the first week of February. ___ AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.

Director Tharun Sudhir appears to possess a golden touch, particularly when collaborating with Darshan. Their most recent film together, ‘Kaatera,’ which comes after the huge hits ‘Chowka’ (2017) and ‘Roberrt’ (2021), is more evidence of their formidable collaboration. Recently Tharun Sudhir spoke about Darshan's exceptional talent at executing action scenes with an unmatched spontaneity. Sudhir made a striking comparison about Darshan's natural action abilities to the instinctive dancing prowess of Tamil icon Thalapathy Vijay. He stated that just as Vijay effortlessly performs dance sequences on the spot, without rehearsals, Darshan too has a prowess of performing in action sequences. Tharu Sudhir added that Darshan absorbs the choreography instantly and delivers performances that even astonish the experts. Behind Sudhir's directorial brilliance lies a rich legacy. Being the son of the renowned Kannada actor Sudhir, Tharun was introduced to movies at a young age. 'Excuse Me' marked the beginning of his film career in 2003. But fate had bigger things in store for him. By 2014, Sudhir was clearly leaning toward directing. The movie 'Chowka' (2017) marked the beginning of his directing career, including a significant appearance by Darshan. After that, ‘Robert’ in 2021 continued their winning pattern and became a box office titan. With ‘Kaatera’, the trio's collaboration promises yet another outstanding film. 'Kaatera' has received an incredible amount of positive feedback. After its December 29 premiere, it captured the attention of viewers throughout Karnataka, bringing in more over Rs 14 crore at the box office in the state alone. 'Kaatera' is a cinematic experience that goes beyond Darshan's powerful performance. Aradhana Ram, Jagapathi Babu, Kumar Govind, Shruti, and Vaijanath Biradar are among the other cast members who contribute weight to the story. Sudhir and Darshan's cinematic chemistry shows no signs of dimming as the praise keeps coming in and people keep going to the theaters, paving the way for more incredible future collaborations.	https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movies/news/tharun-sudhir-feels-that-darshan-and-vijay-share-some-similarities/articleshow/106422020.cms	2024-01-01T02:12:32Z
A British warship arrived in Guyana on Friday afternoon amid rising tensions from a border dispute between the former British colony and Venezuela. The HMS Trent’s visit led Venezuela to begin military exercises a day earlier in the eastern Caribbean near its border with Guyana as the Venezuelan government presses its claim to a huge swath of its smaller neighbor. Brazil’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed concern Friday about the situation and urged the two South American countries to return to dialogue. It said other nations should avoid “military activities” that support either side. Brazil’s statement called on Guyana and Venezuela to stay true to the Argyle Declaration, an agreement signed earlier this month in which their leaders said they would solve the border dispute through nonviolent means. The dispute is over Essequibo, a sparsely populated region that is the size of Florida and rich in oil and minerals. Venezuela has long claimed it was cheated out of the territory when Europeans and the US set the border. The UK’s defense ministry has said that the ship is visiting Guyana as part of a series of engagements in the region and that the vessel will conduct training exercises with Guyana’s military. On its X account, the ship posted photos of sailors welcoming Britain’s ambassador to Guyana and the chief of staff of Guyana’s Defense Force, Brig. Gen. Omar Khan. They were hosted at a formal lunch and provided with a tour of the ship’s capabilities. The warship is generally used to intercept pirates and drug smugglers, and it recently conducted joint exercises with the navies of several West African nations. It is equipped with cannons and a landing pad for helicopters and drones and can carry around 50 marines. In a statement late Thursday, Guyanese President Irfaan Ali said Venezuela “had nothing to fear” from the ship’s activities in Guyanese waters. “Guyana has long been engaged in partnerships with regional and international states aimed at enhancing internal security,” Ali said. “These partnerships pose a threat to no one and are in no way intended to be aggressive.” But Venezuela on Thursday began military exercises involving 5,000 troops in the eastern Caribbean, citing the visit by the British patrol ship. In a nationally televised speech, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro accused Guyana of betraying the spirit of the Argyle Declaration. “We will not let anyone push us around,” Maduro said, surrounded by military commanders. He described Britain’s decision to send a warship as a threat from a “decaying former empire.” Guyana has controlled Essequibo for decades, but Venezuela revived its historical claim to the region earlier this month through a referendum in which voters were asked whether the territory should be turned into a Venezuelan state. Critics of Maduro say the socialist leader has reignited the border dispute to draw attention from the nation’s internal problems as Venezuela prepares for a presidential election next year. Maduro intends to run for a third term. Venezuela says it was the victim of a land theft conspiracy in 1899, when Guyana was a British colony and arbitrators from Britain, Russia and the United States decided the boundary. Venezuelan officials also argue that an agreement among Venezuela, Britain and the then colony of British Guiana signed in 1966 to resolve the dispute effectively nullified the original arbitration. Guyana maintains the initial accord is legal and binding and asked the United Nations’ top court in 2018 to rule it as such, but a decision is years away.

John Waters may not have directed a film in nearly two decades, but he has been far from slowing down. With a handful of books, several TV appearances and his annual one-man show, Waters is about as busy as he’s ever been. Thankfully, one of those books, “Liarmouth”, will be his next feature. And after that? Anything but retirement. In a new profile straight out of John Waters’ hometown of Baltimore, the writer/director said, “I jump up every day to go to work…People say why aren’t you going to retire? Because I wish I believed in another life after, but I don’t. So I want to see every person, every movie, read every book, go everywhere in the world…That’s why I think travel is so important. That’s why I continue to do this show.” The show he’s referring to is A John Waters Christmas, which I caught a few years back and highly recommend to fans of the Pope of Trash. It’s interesting that John Waters is at the height of his popularity — with a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and a career retrospective at the Academy Museum — considering he hasn’t helmed a movie since 2004’s A Dirty Shame, the end of which saw Johnny Knoxville’s head explode with semen. That would have been one hell — and fitting — way for John Waters to bow out. But Liarmouth — described as a “hilariously filthy tale of sex, crime, and family dysfunction” (no kidding!) — will get him back on the big screen, possibly giving him a true cinematic farewell. On the progress of the film, Waters said, “I’ve written the script and I turned it in and they like it and we’re doing a budget…Who knows? We’ll see. We’ll see.” In the meantime, we’ll at least be getting John Waters on the small screen, playing the creator of the Good Guy line of dolls for season three of Chucky, where we’re sure he’ll get killed off by the killer doll (hey, beats a class-action lawsuit). You’ll remember that John Waters played a lecherous photographer who gets acid poured over him in Seed of Chucky. He also recently appeared on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and even voiced a character on kids show Bubble Guppies. What is your favorite John Waters movie? Are you excited for Liarmouth?

US Navy helicopters fire at Yemen’s Houthi rebels and kill several in latest Red Sea shipping attack BEIRUT (AP) — The U.S. military said Sunday that its forces opened fire on Houthi rebels after they attacked a cargo ship in the Red Sea, killing several of them in an escalation of the maritime conflict linked to the war in Gaza. “We’re going to act in a self-defense going forward,” a White House official said. In a series of statements, the U.S. Central Command said the crew of the USS Gravely destroyer first shot down two anti-ship ballistic missiles fired at the Singapore-flagged Maersk Hangzhou late Saturday, after the vessel reported getting hit by a missile earlier that evening as it sailed through the Southern Red Sea. Four small boats then attacked the same cargo ship with small arms fire early Sunday and rebels tried to board the vessel, the U.S. Navy said. Next, the USS Gravely and helicopters from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier responded to the Maersk Hangzhou’s distress call and issued verbal warnings to the attackers, who responded by firing on the helicopters. “The U.S. Navy helicopters returned fire in self-defense,” sinking three of the four boats and killing the people on board while the fourth boat fled the area, the U.S. Central Command said. No harm to U.S. personnel or equipment, or casualties from the cargo ship, were reported. The Houthis acknowledged that 10 of their fighters were killed in the confrontation and warned of consequences. In Washington, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council sidestepped a question about the possibility of a preemptive strike against the Houthis to safeguard commercial shipping in the vital waterway. “I won’t say what’s on or off the table right now,” John Kirby told ABC’s “Good Morning America,” adding, “We’re going to do what we have to do to protect shipping.” He said the United States has “significant national security interests in the region” and “we’re going to put the kind of forces we need in the region to protect those interests and we’re going to act in self-defense going forward.” He said the U.S. has made it clear to the Houthis that “we take these threats seriously and we’re going to make the right decisions going forward.″ The events surrounding the Maersk Hangzhou represented the 23rd illegal attack by the Houthis on international shipping since Nov. 19, the Central Command said. It was the first time the U.S. Navy said its personnel had killed Houthi fighters since the Red Sea attacks started. For over a month, Iran-backed Houthis have claimed attacks on ships in the Red Sea that they say are either linked to Israel or heading to Israeli ports. They say their attacks aim to end the Israeli air-and-ground offensive in the Gaza Strip that was triggered by the Palestinian militant group Hamas’ Oct.7 attack in southern Israel. However, the links to the ships targeted in the rebel assaults have grown more tenuous as the attacks continue. The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee called on President Joe Biden “to look at what actions need to be taken in Yemen to be able to prevent the Houthis to continue to put commercial and military vessels at risk.” Noting Iran’s support for Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, told ABC’s ``This Week” that the Biden administration should be more aggressive “in responding to escalation by Iran.’’ The Denmark-based shipping giant Maersk, owner of Maersk Hangzhou, said Sunday it would suspend shipping through the Red Sea again after the two attacks on its freighter. “In light of the (most recent) incident — and to give time to investigate the details of the incident and assess the security situation further — it has been decided that all transits through the area will be postponed for the next 48 hours,” Maersk was quoted as saying by the Danish public broadcaster DR. On Saturday, the top commander of U.S. naval forces in the Middle East said Houthi rebels have shown no signs of ending their “reckless” attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea even as more nations join the international maritime mission to protect vessels in the vital waterway and trade traffic begins to pick up. Earlier this month, Washington announced the establishment of a new international coalition to protect vessels traveling through the waterway. The United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain are also part of the new maritime security mission. Since the Pentagon announced Operation Prosperity Guardian to counter the attacks just over 10 days ago, 1,200 merchant ships have traveled through the Red Sea region, and none had been hit by drone or missile strikes, Vice Adm. Brad Cooper told The Associated Press in an interview on Saturday. —- Associated Press writer Jari Tanner in Helsinki, Finland, contributed to this report. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.

Kiefer Sutherland plays a small but key character in 1986’s Stand By Me as bully Ace, who tries to foil the core group’s journey to discovering the corpse of Ray Brower…and entering a premature manhood. But behind the scenes, his role may have been far more important, as Sutherland says he was the one who inspired the movie’s title. Based on Stephen King’s short story “The Body”, the original title was questioned because it apparently sounded more like a porno or a straight-up horror movie more akin to something that, well, Stephen King might write. Fortunately for the studio — and probably the film’s legacy overall — Kiefer Sutherland was adept at the guitar and tinkered around a bit while filming. As he told Jimmy Fallon on his late night show, “We were making Stand by Me, which was a Stephen King short story called ‘The Body’ and River Phoenix was learning guitar and playing guitar, and he was actually very, very good…He said, ‘Oh, I love the melody of that song,’ and he hadn’t heard it before…So I was teaching it to him, and Rob Reiner walked by and said, ‘Oh, I haven’t heard that song for a long time. I love it.’ And then that was the end of that discussion.” While others have attributed the title change to director Reiner, we do at least have evidence that the screenplay wasn’t always titled Stand By Me, as drafts do state that the title of “The Body” was planned to appear onscreen. Whoever officially decided that “The Body” should be changed to Stand By Me deserves a lot of credit not just for the movie’s success but also the resurgence of a classic song. Even if the movie primarily takes place a couple of years before Ben E. King’s song was released, the number’s usage in the coming-of-age essential put the then-25-year-old song back on the charts. On the brink of its 40th anniversary, Stand By Me is a must-see, still feeling like a rite-of-passage movie that one shouldn’t get out of their teenage years without experiencing. So if you’re of that age and still haven’t had the chance, do yourself a favor by grabbing a copy of the film and cuing it up with your closest friends. And don’t forget the cherry-flavored Pez! What is your favorite scene from Stand By Me? Give us your pick below!	https://www.joblo.com/kiefer-sutherland-takes-credit-for-stand-by-me-title-change/	2024-01-01T02:12:40Z

The passing of Patrick Swayze was enough to break your heart. Has there ever really been anyone quite like him? At his best, Swayze was the type of guy who was equally at home playing romantic leads as he was dropping bad guys in action fare. Swayze’s career peaked in 1987, the year he danced his way to the top of the box office in Dirty Dancing. It made him a giant star, with him not only having one of the top-grossing movies of the year but also a huge hit song in a track off the soundtrack album, “She’s Like the Wind”. While traditional thinking would have led to Swayze acting in a whole slew of romantic movies, he had something a little different in mind. Swayze wanted to become an action hero. The fact is, he was a natural for the genre. His dance training and general physical prowess made him a natural at fight scenes, and while he was a good-looking dude, he wasn’t overly pretty and could believably play a badass. He also had fantastic hair, which was a prerequisite to be an action hero in the eighties, with his feathered hair perhaps only equalled by the God-like mullet sported by Kurt Russell. While everyone remembers Road House (which is getting a buzzy remake), which, despite underperforming in 1989, became a massive cult classic, it wasn’t the only action flick Swayze made that year. Towards the end of 1989, he starred in another action movie called Next of Kin. While largely obscure in his filmography, it’s a better-than-average thriller anchored by Swayze’s charisma and a scene-stealing turn by a young Liam Neeson, who’s practically a co-lead here – and it’s a pick of ours for The Best Movie You Never Saw. In Next of Kin, Swayze plays a Chicago cop named Truman Gates, who hails from the Appalachians. One of his younger brothers, Gerald, played by a young Bill Paxton, followed him to Chicago but was killed by Chicago mobsters who hijacked his truck. A psychotic muscleman for the mob coldly executes him, Adam Baldwin’s Joey Rossellini, much to the chagrin of his more even-tempered boss, Papa John, played by Andreas Katsulas, better known as the one-armed man from The Fugitive (which recently celebrated its 30th anniversary) and G’Kar from Babylon 5. While Truman swears to bring the mobsters to justice, his older brother, Briar, played by Liam Neeson, isn’t havin’ it. He high-tails it to Chicago and declares war on the mobsters. It’s interesting to see him in action, as his role here pre-dates his later status as an action hero in movies like Taken. Neeson still makes movies that are a lot like Next of Kin, although this is certainly more energetic and action-driven than the lower-budgeted fare we usually get from Neeson these days. As good as Neeson is, this is Swayze’s movie, effortlessly combining his romantic appeal with his action hero bonafides. He gets a better romantic story than usual for the genre, with him happily married to Helen Hunt’s elegant Chicago violinist, who becomes pregnant as the film progresses. This motivates Swayze to do things within the law, as he doesn’t want to endanger his family. Yet, as the movie goes on and the mob becomes more violent, Tucker’s rage is unleashed, leading to a balls-to-the-wall ending where Truman, armed with a bow and arrow, as well as a hillbilly army of pals, goes to war on the mafia. While not as action-packed as Road House or Point Break, Next of Kin is a solid cop movie for Swayze. It’s the kind of B-programmer guys like JCVD, and Steven Seagal would be starring in by the decade’s end. It’s strange that Swayze never really managed to make it as an action hero, as his action movies are pretty good. Perhaps it was because so much of his target audience was women, and guys at the time probably viewed him as less manly than his contemporaries. That’s a huge mistake, though, as Swayze’s confidence makes him a guy whose vehicles have aged better than many others. Swayze’s machismo was lower-key, as he wasn’t afraid to be vulnerable or cry in his movies – something that Stallone and Russell also were perfectly comfortable doing, although they didn’t get the grief he did.	https://www.joblo.com/next-of-kin-the-best-movie-you-never-saw/	2024-01-01T02:12:46Z

One of the great things about the slasher sub-genre is the fact that it provides movies to watch for pretty much any holiday that comes along. For New Year’s Eve we have films like the original Terror Train, Bloody New Year, and the film we’re covering with the latest episode of the Real Slashers video series: 1980’s New Year’s Evil (watch it HERE). To hear all about it, check out the video embedded above! Directed by Emmett Alston, who crafted the story with screenwriter Leonard Neubauer, New Year’s Evil has the following synopsis: On New Year’s Eve, a famous TV punk-rock lady icon hosts a late hour countdown celebration of music and partying. All goes well, until she receives a strange sounding phone call. Lonely women wanting to celebrate the holiday become easy prey for a maniacal murdering misogynist whose New Year’s resolution is to kill women at every stroke of midnight.

Here’s what Real Slashers is all about: Ahhh the ’80s. A simpler time where the blood ran red, the boobies swung freely, and the weed was copiously smoked. A time where rampant killers were simply excuses for excessive sex and over the top murder. Yes, we’re looking at an era where the slasher movie ran wild over cinemas everywhere. Today, we’re looking at “Real Slashers.” The show is Written, Narrated, and Edited by Tyler Nichols, Produced by John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.

Inmate sets fire at Rice Street Jail ATLANTA - An inmate who set a fire in a cell at the Rice Street Jail has earned himself new charges. A spokesperson for the Fulton County Sheriff's Office says Juan Edwards is responsible for the fire that displaced 15 other detainees Saturday night. None of the affected inmates required medical attention. Jail staff extinguished the fire before the Atlanta Fire and Rescue team came to make sure it was completely out. Edwards has been charged with arson in the first degree, interference with government property, contributing to an unsafe environment, damage to jail property, and interfering with security operations. "I am proud of the women and men of the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office for their dedication and ability to maintain order under challenging circumstances. The safety and security of the detainees in our care and custody is a top priority," says Sheriff Labat.	https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/atlanta-rice-street-jail-fire	2024-01-01T02:12:58Z
CANTON — The special town meeting to vote on a moratorium for solar farm projects in town has been postponed until Jan. 11, selectmen decided Thursday. The meeting was postponed because the board was unable to meet to prepare the warrant for the meeting last week because of flooded roads from the Dec. 18 storm. The special town meeting will be held on Jan. 11 at 6 p.m. in the Town Office Meeting Room. During Thursday’s meeting, Selectman Chair Brian Keene said that the town’s lawyer has reviewed and approved an ordinance that residents will decide upon at their Jan. 11 meeting. The article will include a moratorium of 180 days for new solar farm projects in town. In other business, the selectmen, along with Fire Chief Jason Vaughan, discussed how the town fared from the torrential rain, wind and flooding that occurred starting Dec. 18. Vaughan noted that more than 90 residents from Pinnacle Health and Rehab on Pleasant Street, a section of Route 108, were evacuated Tuesday because of flooding. The residents were sent overnight until Wednesday to stay at Spruce Mountain High School in Jay, Vaughan said. “You could drive in there (Pinnacle Health) but they were kind of cut off from emergency services getting to them quickly so that’s part of their emergency action plan, is to evacuate (under those circumstances),” Vaughan said. Firefighters rescued six people by boat who had attempted to drive through the flooding. There were two vehicles on School Street that were immersed in the flood that the firefighters could not reach. “They managed to get out on their own and found their own way home,” he said. Within the first day of the storm, the fire department responded to 19 calls that were for trees down in the roads or to rescue people, Vaughan said. Selectwoman Michelle Larrivee remarked that the intersection at Main Street on Route 108 and School Street on Route 140 was blocked off due to flooding from Monday afternoon to late afternoon Wednesday. Larrivee and Keene, along with Selectmen Carole Robbins, Kristi Carrier and Rob Walker, agreed that the volunteer fire department “did an amazing job keeping everyone safe, doing rescues as well as our public works department also did a really good job,” Larrivee said. Carrier said that she appreciated how residents on Canton Mountain Road, where she lives, “checked on each other” to see if their neighbors needed help or supplies during the storm. The area was “kind of its own island,” and by Wednesday residents “were all (getting together) to figure out how to get gas for a couple neighbors,” she said. In other news, Walker told the board that the town does not need to take special precautions for the endangered species Atlantic salmon fry in the Bog Brook area on Campbell Road since there aren’t any salmon in the area because of dams in the Androscoggin River, he said. During a meeting earlier this month the area was identified as a site where two endangered species, Atlantic salmon fry and the northern long-eared bat, were located. The discovery of the two endangered species was made as the town is working with FEMA disaster relief mitigation staff to receive funding to repair the road. Success.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce ring in the new year at Chiefs game in Kansas City Taylor Swift is ringing in the new year with Travis Kelce in Kansas City at the last Chiefs game of the year. In video shared on social media, Swift was seen arriving at Arrowhead Stadium, sporting a letterman-style jacket with the Chief’s and NFL logos on it, paired with a sleek all-black ensemble comprised of a shirt, pants and high-heeled boots. The "Style" singer wore her hair down and loose, with a single small braid sure to spark a new trend, all tied together with her signature red lip. Swift took her spot in the Chiefs' suite to enthusiastically cheer Kelce on during the game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

(Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images) EX-NFL STAR PUSHES BACK ON NARRATIVE TAYLOR SWIFT IS DISTRACTION FOR CHIEFS Fans noted that Swift’s Chiefs letterman-style jacket matched one worn by Kelce last week, designed by Jeff Hamilton. On Hamilton’s Instagram page, he posted a photo of Kelce wearing the look and responded to a fan comment saying Swift needed one with, "You know she has it already." Swift’s appearance marks her ninth appearance at a game since she began dating Kelce. The "Cruel Summer" singer spent Christmas Day with her parents, Scott and Andrea, and brother, Austin, in the suite together. The family got festive for the occasion with Swift wearing a Santa hat with Kelce's number, 87, on the brim, while her brother Austin wore a Santa costume. The couple first sparked dating rumors in September after she appeared at Arrowhead Stadium to watch him play. In a recent interview with TIME, Swift clarified the timeline of their relationship, noting that her attendance was not their first outing together. LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

She has three shows in Tokyo, the last on Feb. 10, then a short break before picking up again in Australia on Feb. 16.	https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/taylor-swift-and-travis-kelce-ring-in-the-new-year-at-chiefs-game-in-kansas-city	2024-01-01T02:13:04Z
RUMFORD — Rumford native Matthew Carrier marked his second year of being cancer-free and having no evidence of disease on Oct. 26 this year, he said. “When you hit the two-year mark (of being cancer-free), the chances of it coming back decrease greatly,” Carrier said. He said his surgeon from Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, was “super excited and super happy about my progress.” In a Sun Journal Face Time article published July 2, Carrier shared information about his book, “To Ring the Bell,” which he wrote to share his story about surviving cancer twice and which he hopes will inspire and encourage others who are going through difficult times. His first bout of cancer was at 21 years old, when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Twenty years later, he was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of his sinus. Carrier lives in Millington, Tennessee, with his wife, Abby. He describes himself as “doing really good right now,” except for some “minor struggle with minor issues,” with his sinuses. He always tries to put his health issues into perspective “and I always try to think about what is my suffering compared to others. “There is always someone that’s worse off than me, and I always think about those people, and I always pray for them, constantly. So, I’m grateful to be where I’m at, and every day I wake up with a heartbeat, (I think) God has a plan for me and and I’m excited to see what that is,” Carrier said. He’s keeping up with his mission statement, “To encourage others through writing, conversations, and social media posts,” in various and meaningful ways, he said. For example, he’s working with a team at Baptist Cancer Center, located in his area, to provide a journal prompt for their monthly newsletter for cancer survivors. “It’s just an opportunity for some patients to kind of think and reflect on different topics of cancer (and to) just get things on paper, so they don’t hold anything inside,” he explained. He also participates in five online groups for people who have been affected by cancer. The group members communicate daily and offer advice and encouragement to help each other, he said. Another project that he’s working on is to have his book “To Ring the Bell” as part of a local Tennessee high school’s English class lesson plans. “It’s still in the beginning stages, but the hope is to get my book inside a classroom where teachers and students can start using the multi-genre project as a learning tool; a teaching tool,” he said. Sadly, one goal and part of his mission statement to meet in person with Jennifer, a cancer patient that he met online while he was sick, won’t happen. He recently found out that her health is worse, and she is going to hospice care, “which is really sad,” for her and everyone that knows and loves her. To others who may be experiencing difficult times due to cancer and other illnesses, he says: “We all struggle, we all have our battles and it’s important to stay as positive as you can. Use your resources like family and friends because they can definitely help you get through some hard times. “Staying positive is probably the most important thing,” Carrier said. Look for Carrier’s book on Amazon or at Todd’s Discount Gifts in Mexico or This and That gift shop in Rumford. Success. Please wait for the page to reload.

Few filmmakers experience fan loyalty like Zack Snyder. Regardless of quality, people show up in droves to indulge in his latest projects and shower him with support in the face of negative reviews. Snyder repays this loyalty by continuing to move to the beat of his own drum, never letting the shouts of negativity deter him from realizing his intended vision. Snyder’s latest film, Rebel Moon: Part One – A Child of Fire, is another of his projects receiving mixed reviews from fans and critics alike. However, who’s having the last laugh? You guessed it. Zack Snyder, now that Rebel Moon is the “No. 1 movie in the world!” Number 1 movie in the world period!!!! Thank you. pic.twitter.com/l5ow5t4Wc2 — Zack Snyder (@ZackSnyder) December 29, 2023 Rebel Moon: Part One: A Child of Fire is sitting pretty as one of Netflix’s most-viewed titles of the year with 23.9 million views. I count myself among those who watched Rebel Moon (last night) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Sure, the exposition was a tad extraneous, but I enjoyed the film’s world-building, rag-tag characters, and overall look – desaturation and all! I’m interested in watching the director’s cut, hoping it fills in some gaps and eliminates the need for lengthy info dumps along the journey. “It’s been a truly unparalleled experience introducing Rebel Moon to global audiences and I’m thrilled that the movie is #1 around the world,” Snyder said in a statement (via Tudum). “We have the most dedicated and loyal fans across the world that any filmmaker could ask for, and seeing them consistently be supportive has been an enormously rewarding experience. We’re thrilled they are embracing the new world we’ve created in Part 1, and are excited for them to continue the journey next year with Part 2.” For those looking forward to continuing Kora’s story, Rebel Moon: Part Two – The Scargiver marches onto Netflix on April 19, 2024. “Rebel Moon: Part Two – The Scargiver continues the epic saga of Kora and the surviving warriors as they prepare to sacrifice everything, fighting alongside the brave people of Veldt, to defend a once peaceful village, a newfound homeland for those who have lost their own in the fight against the Motherworld,” the official synopsis reads. “On the eve of their battle the warriors must face the truths of their own pasts, each revealing why they fight. As the full force of the Realm bears down on the burgeoning rebellion, unbreakable bonds are forged, heroes emerge, and legends are made.” What did you think about Rebel Moon: Part One – The Child of Fire? What is the metric for becoming the ‘No. 1 Movie in the World?’ Are you looking forward to the sequel coming in April?

Love gets a fresh start. By Aria Gmitter — Written on Dec 31, 2023 Photo: Luminas_Art from Pixabay, Maridav, Sketchify, creativehavenbydine from D graPX \| Canva Pro We get to experience the first day of the new year focused on love. Here's what's in store for each zodiac sign in astrology starting January 1, 2024. What today's love horoscope has in store for each zodiac sign on Monday, January 01, 2024: Aries Love may be challenging today thanks to the pesky transit Venus square Saturn. It may be harder than usual to see your sweetheart, even if you're local to each other. Communication problems and long-distance relationship issues may also arise. Remember, Arie. Don't allow circumstances to dictate your feelings. Instead, if you want to make things work, you can do it, and you will. RELATED: Zodiac Signs That Are The Most Incompatible (And Will Never, Ever Work Out) Taurus Sharing is caring, except in situations where you are giving more time to friends than you are to your significant other. There are times when you need to cut the ties and move on. Your interest could be tested, and if you aren't feeling it, talk it over. Why put energy into something you're no longer invested in? RELATED: Zodiac Signs Who Are Mortal Enemies Gemini Respect is earned, and during the Venus square Saturn transit, you may feel like you are attempting to get attention but without any reward. Love can be a risk you decide to take without any assurance of your interest in reciprocating emotions. This day brings up a question: are there limits to your love or patience? If so, what are they? RELATED: Zodiac Signs Who Make Great Moms, Ranked From Best To Worst Cancer How do you cancel a trip when you've already promised you'd go? During the Venus square transit, travel plans can be thrown off a bit due to high anxiety or feeling like something isn't right. You might feel the need to push through and move forward. But if there's a possibility to reschedule, this is a good time to ask and see. RELATED: Zodiac Signs Most Likely To Be Rich, Ranked Leo How can two people love each other and yet not be able to spend quality time alone? The frustration of unmet desire can be a key theme during the Venus square Saturn transit. There may be obstacles to date night with your mate. Control issues or pride can arise when this happens. Be the bigger person; remember love does not need to be a war first in order to win. RELATED: The Most Attractive Physical Feature Of Each Zodiac Sign Virgo Sharing a home base with your partner is all you ever wanted, but that does not mean there won't be days when you wish you could have your personal space. It can be hard to feel comfortable at home with a significant other during the Venus square Saturn transit today. You may prefer to live parallel lives and co-exist instead. Talk about it so you both are aware of what is happening and not feeling that the other is pulling away for other reasons. RELATED: Twin Flame Zodiac Signs, According To Astrology Libra Sometimes you have to deal with your incompatibilities. You do things one way, and your partner does things another. You may find it hard to be on the same page when Venus is square to Saturn. There can be some bumping heads today when you try to figure out how to handle small matters as a couple.

Bundle up, it is going to be quite chilly for those New Year’s Eve celebrations. As we prepare to count the clock to midnight, temperatures will drop into the mid-50s. From there, it will get even colder overnight, with morning lows in the lower 50s to upper 40s. Our first day of the new year will not only start chilly but also will come with some areas of patchy fog. That fog will burn fairly quickly. An area of high pressure will keep things dry and mostly sunny through much of our Monday. Expect highs to be in the lower 70s. As we head into the evening and overnight, a few more clouds will settle in as we track a very weak cold front. This front is expected to move in overnight Monday into Tuesday, bringing a few stray showers. Aside from this, you will not notice any difference as Tuesday shapes up to be a partly to mostly sunny day with highs in the upper 60s to near 70 degrees. The weather will start settled and pleasant through the mid-week before we track the next cold front. A series of cold fronts are depicted in the coming 10 days, and this will be the second one. This particular front will bring us a better opportunity for showers compared to the first front. You can expect that rain to settle in by Thursday, with breezy winds through the end of the week. Give it a couple more days, and by the weekend, we will watch yet again another cold front dive-in. This front will bring showers and possibly a few rumbles of thunder late Saturday into the overnight hours of Sunday. We will continue to monitor the development of this front. Overall, an active pattern of a cold front is expected to start the new year. This is very typical for a winter with a strong El Nino in place. The long-term outlook places Southwest Florida with 40-50% odds of above-average rainfall through January and 60-70% odds of above-average rainfall through March.	https://nbc-2.com/weather/forecast/2023/12/31/forecast-tracking-chilly-temperatures-as-we-ring-in-the-new-year/	2024-01-01T02:13:07Z

It’s sad to say, but death seems to be working overtime as we close out 2023. Following the news that beloved character actor Tom Wilkinson has passed away, come the passing of two more well-loved supporting players in TV and film. Richard Romanus, who played the role of loan shark Michael Longo in Mean Streets, passed away at the age of 80 on December 23rd. Meanwhile, Maurice Hines, the brother of Gregory Hines, has also passed away, also at 80. Although Richard Romanus had a lengthy career that went back to the early ‘70s, it was his turn in Martin Scorsese’s Mean Streets that remained his most memorable performance. It was his character who, after a run-in with Robert De Niro’s Johnny Boy (who owed Michael money), manned the car that drove up alongside Johnny Boy and Harvey Keitel’s Charlie, leading to the shooting of the loose cannon. Richard Romanus would later work with Keitel again in 1993’s Point of No Return, well into his career as an actor who explored both drama and comedy. He followed up Mean Streets with crime comedy The Gravy Train before co-headlining the pretty strong TV movie Night Terror with Valerie Harper. Romanus, too, was an adept voice actor, lending his talents to Ralph Bakshi for both 1977’s Wizards as elf warrior Weehawk and 1982’s Hey Good Lookin’ as gang leader Vinnie, as well as 1981’s sci-fi must-see Heavy Metal as segment-starring Harry Canyon.He was also the older brother of Robert Romanus, best known for playing Mike Damone in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. As for Maurice Hines, while he was never as big of a star as his younger brother Gregory, he has a long and distinguished career on stage as a tap dancer and choreographer. He memorably co-starred with his brother in Francis Ford Coppola’s The Cotton Club as one half of a tap dancing duo. Apparently, their fraught, competitive (but ultimately loving) relationship in the film paralleled their off-screen life. One thing worth noting is that Francis Ford Coppola recently went back and recut the film. The new version, The Cotton Club Redux, greatly enhances Maurice Hines’ role, with many saying retrospectively that both he and his late brother (who tragically died in 2003) gave Oscar-worthy turns. I’m inclined to agree with his tap duet with his brother to Crazy Rhythm, a heartbreaking showstopper.

People are frustrated with this teacher’s lack of emotional support. By Zayda Slabbekoorn Written on Dec 31, 2023 Photo: Monkey Business Images / Canva Pro Teachers do a lot for their students. In addition to academics, many find themselves also being a listening ear for their kids. Regardless of their age, students spend a great deal of time at school and their teachers help to guide them through many different life stages. An inevitable life stage we all go through is heartbreak. No matter what age you are, it can take a toll on your mental and emotional well-being. A TikTok teacher named Braxton Comer, shared the story of one of his student’s struggles after his girlfriend dumped him. Instead of supporting the teen through the difficult time or providing resources to help him cope with his intense feelings, he treated his emotions flippantly and Comer faced the consequences of his decision. This teacher was fired after making a student take a test in the midst of a breakup. “Big news — this is a life-changing moment for me,” Comer shared in a video from December 23. “I didn’t think this would happen,” he started, “well, I thought it might happen eventually … and it finally happened today.” In his TikTok, he revealed that he’d been fired by his school. Making his way to the impromptu meeting with school leaders, he was oblivious to what he’d been called in to talk about. When they told him that he’d been “let go” from the school, he couldn’t help but take to social media to share the story. In his video, he didn't seem to believe he’d done anything wrong. School leaders said his treatment of his emotionally struggling student was the “deciding factor” amidst several other interactions they’d noticed in his four years at the school. When the student approached him telling him that he hadn’t studied because he’d been ‘struggling emotionally’ Comer said, ‘womp womp.’ He said that on the day of a test in his classroom, the student came up to his desk and said that he “couldn’t take the test that day” because his girlfriend had broken up with him earlier in the week and he’d been “really struggling emotionally.” Photo: Comstock / Canva Pro The student went on to say that he’d been so preoccupied with his heartbreak and dealing with the sadness that he hadn’t been focused on school and ultimately, did not study for the test. “He said that he knew that he would fail the test,” Comer said. However, the student’s honesty didn’t win him any favors in the eyes of this teacher. RELATED: School Calls Family's 'Once-In-A-Lifetime' Vacation 'Unexcusable' — Dad Epically Shuts Them Down “I said ‘womp womp’ to him and then he started crying … like literally, he broke down.” Not only did Comer not give him space to grieve or even a day to recuperate, but he mocked him. “I asked him why he was crying. You’ve only been dating for two weeks.” Teenagers are more likely to feel heightened emotional responses, are more easily swayed by emotion, and find it more difficult to cope with their large feelings compared to their adult counterparts. For this student, that was likely the case. His overwhelming emotions, lack of studying, and heartbreaking interaction with his teacher ultimately got the best of him and the teacher admitted that he ended up failing the test. Teachers should support their students' mental health whenever possible. When the school heard about the interaction they immediately fired Comer. While some commenters found the action to be too severe, many pointed out that his response as an adult role model was not appropriate. Sadly this is the case for many students, one TikToker, Tesla, shared a video of a teacher calling a student out in front of the entire class and labeled it “emotional abuse.” Teachers have a lot on their plates. That's a fact. Related Stories From YourTango: However, empathy and compassion need to have a place in the classroom alongside textbooks and tests. When teachers disregard students’ emotional struggles or belittle them, it does not create a safe and trusting environment for learning. If Comer didn't know how to handle this interaction with his student he should have deferred to the guidance counselor.

Border guards, checking the documents of men aged 18 to 60, may request additional documents from the territorial recruit center (TRC, former military commissars). This was reported by the spokesman of the State Border Service Andriy Demchenko to " BBC-Ukraine ". He explained that, in general, the rules for crossing the border for men have not changed. The categories that are not subject to the ban on leaving the country are the same, but documents may be treated more carefully, as cases of document forgery have become more frequent. "Itʼs about strengthening control," noted Demchenko. According to him, border guards at their discretion have the right to demand, in addition to the usual package of documents, military registration documents from the TRC, which confirm that a person really has a deferment from mobilization or is exempt from conscription. "It can be an extract from the protocol of the TRC on the decision on postponement or a record of postponement in military accounting documents," noted Demchenko. "BBC-Ukraine" journalists turned to Demchenko due to complaints on social networks that men who previously crossed the border without hindrance — for example, those with many children or men with disabilities — were no longer allowed to pass without documents from the TRC. - In general, Ukraine is strengthening control over military records. In the evening of December 25, the government submitted draft laws No. 10378, No. 10379 to the parliament. The first document provides for changes to mobilization and military service, and the second — strengthening responsibility for military offenses. Read more about them here. - If it is adopted without significant changes, all men between the ages of 18 and 60 will have 30 days to apply to the TRC, clarify their data, place of residence, etc. They will also be required to carry military registration documents with them and show them at the request of TRC employees or policemen.	https://babel.ua/en/news/102390-border-guards-can-demand-documents-from-the-territorial-recruit-center-from-men-aged-18-to-60	2024-01-01T02:13:14Z
closecomments 01/6#Rewind2023: The good, bad, and ugly of Malayalam cinema In 2023, the focus of the Malayalam movie industry remained on overcoming the aftermath of the pandemic's impact in 2022. With over 220 theatrical releases, which is a record number, compared to the previous years, only nearly 20 films made money back. This year, Malayalam cinema also shone brighter internationally, including ‘2018: Everyone is a hero’ becoming India’s official entry to the 2024 Oscars, though it was ousted from the final 15 list. Mammootty, one of the biggest stars in the industry, ruled the year, both in terms of box office revenue and critical acclaim. 02/6A lackluster beginning 2023 started on rather a somber tone, marked by a sluggish start in the theaters during the first week. Films like 'Djinn', 'Ennalum Ente Aliya' struggled to draw audiences to the theaters. However, Mammootty's 'Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam', Biju Menon's 'Thankam', and Soubin Shahir's 'Romancham' contributed to an increased footfall. Debutant Jithu Madhavan's horror comedy 'Romancham, which released in the first week of February turned out to be a true saviour with the film closing at a record of Rs 70 crore at the worldwide box office collection, and having a dream run of more than 50 days. 03/6Box office rollercoaster Though 2023 saw a surge in the number of films, with a record of over 220 theatrical releases, only about 20 made their money back. Jude Anthany Joseph’s ‘2018: Everyone is a hero’ contributed a lion’s portion of the revenue that Malayalam cinema earned this year. The survival drama, starring Tovino Thomas in the lead role turned out to be a record-breaking success, with the final global box office collection standing at Rs 200 crore, becoming the highest-grossing Malayalam film of all time. Other films that contributed to the box office collection include ‘Romancham’, ‘RDX’, ‘Kannur Squad’, ‘Kaathal: The Core’, ‘Voice of Sathyanathan’, and ‘Neru’. The Producers Association has estimated the total loss will be around Rs 300 crores this year! 04/6International visibility Malayalam cinema has always been at the forefront of delivering content-driven films, and this year too the industry had made great efforts to make it to the global map. Jude Anthany’s ‘2018: Everyone is a hero’ was India’s official entry for Best International Feature Film at the 96th Academy Awards, becoming the fourth Malayalam film after Guru (1997), Adaminte Makan Abu (2011) and Jallikattu (2019) to represent the nation. Mammootty starrer ‘Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam’, and ‘Kaathal: The Core’ too made headlines for its stirring content. The superstar’s courage in playing a closeted gay man too won applause. 05/6Reviews and rivals 2023 was also a year, where the industry insiders felt it hard to cope up with the review bombing. The online reviewers and their derogatory reviews have had a detrimental effect on the box office numbers. Many filmmakers headed to seek legal help to prevent the review bombing. The makers of ‘Bandra’, ‘Ramachandra Boss & Co’, ‘Rahel Makan Kora’ among others also pursued legal action. The Kerala High Court observed that "reviews are intended to inform and enlighten people and not destroy and extort". 06/6Mammootty’s magic Superstar Mammootty is the shooting star of 2023! With 5 releases, Mammootty reigned the year. He kickstarted 2023 with a blast featuring in Lijo Jose Pellissery’s ‘Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam’. Mammootty redefined the actor in him and smoothly transitioned between James and Sundaram. It was followed by ‘Christopher’, ‘Kannur Squad’, and ‘Kaathal: The Core’, of which the last two worked at the box office and amongst the audience. ‘Kannur Squad’ minted about Rs 82 crore at the box office. But what makes Mammootty the shooting star of 2023 is his choice of playing a closeted homosexual man in Jeo Baby’s ‘Kaathal: The Core’. He had a lot to risk if things didn’t work as intended, yet he leaped.	https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movies/news/rewind2023-the-good-bad-and-ugly-of-malayalam-cinema/photostory/106424456.cms	2024-01-01T02:13:18Z
The shifting release dates of Deadpool 3 kept fans on their toes this year, with September, November and May all hosting the third entry at various points. With the date officially set for July 24th, we can only expect more goodies in the months to come. But Ryan Reynolds isn’t going to let us get out of 2023 without a little extra surprise, taking to social media over the weekend to give a sendoff to the year and welcome the new one with a fresh Deadpool 3 set photo of the official get-up. Captioned with “Thank You 2023…” on X, the photo shows Ryan Reynolds in the nearly-full costume for Deadpool 3, walking on the set alongside director Shawn Levy. Reynolds also posted on X, “Happy New Year to everyone. Except maybe Shatterstar.” This triggered a response from Shatterstar himself, Lewis Tan: “Jealous of the hair?” We got another look at the Merc with a Mouth’s wardrobe for Deadpool 3 earlier in the year, but that pic had a costume that fans were far more taken with: Wolverine’s, with Hugh Jackman suited up in the character’s iconic yellow and blue. Ryan Reynolds has been doing his part – in typically funny fashion – to simultaneously offer fans behind-the-scenes glimpses of and prevent leaks for Deadpool 3 by posting said photos on social media. On the topic, he previously stated, “Surprises are part of the magic of theatrical movies. It’s important for us to shoot the new Deadpool film in real, natural environments, using practical effects as opposed to making the movie indoors and digitally. Telephoto lenses continue to spoil surprises and create a difficult situation for everyone…Here’s hoping some of the websites and social channels hold back showing images before they’re ready. The film is built for audience joy — and our highest hope is to preserve as much of that magic as possible for the finished film and the big screen. Part of the reason people post spoilers is because they’re excited. I realize these aren’t real world issues and it’s firmly in the ‘good problems’ bucket. I love making this movie.” What do you think of the new Deadpool 3 set photo? Where does it rank on your list of most anticipated movies of 2024?	https://www.joblo.com/ryan-reynolds-shares-new-deadpool-3-costume-pic/	2024-01-01T02:13:18Z

Julius and Vincent have found each other yet again, as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito met up backstage after the latter’s recent Broadway outing. And while Arnold was proud of his pal’s show, it was the promise of a reunion between the two that will no doubt get people more excited. Posting on Instagram this week, Arnold Schwarzenegger wrote the following, accompanied by a photo of himself with Danny DeVito and his daughter Lucy: “My brother! It was fantastic to see Danny on Broadway in “I Need That”. He and Lucy and everybody involved kept the audience entertained, laughing and loving every minute – one of the best plays I’ve ever seen, a true spectacle with heart!! I can’t wait to work together again.” The obvious choice for another collaboration between Schwarzenegger and DeVito would have been Triplets (with no due respect to Junior). While a Twins sequel has been on and off the table for at least a decade – with the pair being joined by Eddie Murphy and Tracy Morgan at various points – it has since officially been canceled following the 2022 death of director Ivan Reitman. With Triplets done for, hopefully the two can still find a project worth exploring. DeVito actually got started on the stage before breaking out as Louie De Palma on Taxi. But he didn’t actually step onto the Broadway boards until 2012, later giving a Tony-nominated turn in Arthur Miller’s The Price. Schwarzenegger may not have the sort of Broadway experience as DeVito, but we do have proof that he would make a killer Hamlet… Schwarzenegger and DeVito haven’t properly collaborated since 1994’s Junior but they have kept in touch over the years. We realistically may never get one more movie starring the two, but we do know that both, at 76 and 79 respectively, have no interest in leaving this earth, saying there is too much to enjoy and accomplish even as they head towards becoming octogenarians. Would you want to see Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito work together again? What sort of project would fit them best?

Jamie Dornan says his “Fifty Shades of Grey” stardom came with an uncomfortable price. The Irish actor, who starred as kinky billionaire Christian Grey in the film franchise based on E.L. James’ erotic novel series of the same name, told The Independent that a super fan took things too far after showing up at his front door before the coronavirus pandemic. “I had a situation… a stalker-type situation before Covid. That was fucking scary. Someone turned up at my house when my kids were there,” Dornan, 41, said in an interview published Saturday. After being asked about the array of quacky conspiracies from “Fifty Shades” fans, including a theory that he’s secretly in a relationship with co-star Dakota Johnson and even procreated with the leading lady, he revealed that he’s “tried to put walls up” to protect himself from over-invested fans. “I’m pretty good at just blocking any of the noise associated with whatever fandom is ― not letting it affect me, or more importantly my family,” Dornan said. He added: “The more I can block that out, the better it is for me and the family.” Dornan has been married to musician Amelia Warner since 2013, and the pair have three daughters, Dulcie, Elva and Alberta. Considering the popularity of the “Fifty Shades” trilogy, the actor says he’s worked to avoid taking on high-profile projects to try to keep a “normal life.” “There are obviously other jobs that bring insane scrutiny, like superhero stuff, or fucking James Bond ― any of that stuff. I’ve done pretty well to avoid that sort of shit so far,” Dornan said. Some might say that Dornan unintentionally manifested his run-in with the stalker after he revealed that he once stalked a woman on the subway to prepare for his role as psychotic serial killer Paul Spector in 2006’s “The Fall.” “Can we get arrested for this?” he said in a 2015 interview with the Los Angeles Times about the incident. “Hold on… this is a really bad reveal: I, like, followed a woman off the train one day to see what it felt like to pursue someone like that.” The former model insisted he kept his distance while trailing the unidentified woman. He called the moment of method acting “kind of exciting” but in a “really sort of dirty way.” “I’m sort of not proud of myself. But I do honestly think I learned something from it, because I’ve obviously never done any of that. It was intriguing and interesting to enter that process of ‘what are you following her for?’ and ‘what are you trying to find out?’” Dornan told the L.A. Times.	https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jamie-dornan-stalker-experience-fifty-shades-of-grey-fan_n_6591ced2e4b0b01d3e40247a	2024-01-01T02:13:27Z
Ugandan Athlete Benjamin Kiplagat 'Stabbed To Death' In Kenya Ugandan athlete Benjamin Kiplagat has been found dead in Kenya, police said Sunday, with local media reporting he had been stabbed to death. The Kenyan-born Kiplagat, 34, had represented Uganda internationally in the 3,000m steeplechase, including at several Olympic Games and World Championships. His body was found in a car on Saturday night on the outskirts of the Rift Valley town of Eldoret, which is home to many athletes who train in the high-altitude area. "An investigation has been launched and officers are on the ground pursuing leads," local police commander Stephen Okal told reporters in Eldoret. He said Kiplagat's body had a deep knife wound to his neck, suggesting he was stabbed. Uganda's Daily Monitor and other media outlets in Kenya said he had been stabbed to death. "World Athletics is shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Benjamin Kiplagat," the global athletics governing body said in a statement on X, formerly Twitter. "We send our deepest condolences to his friends, family, teammates and fellow athletes. Our thoughts are with them all at this difficult time." Peter Ogwang. state minister for sports in Uganda, expressed similar sentiments on X. "I send my deepest condolences to his family, Ugandans, and the entire East Africa for the loss of such a budding athlete who has on several occasions represented us on the international scene," he said. Media reports said Kiplagat had been training in the Eldoret area before going to Uganda to take part in athletics competitions. Kiplagat, whose running career spanned about 18 years, won the silver medal in the 3,000m steeplechase at the 2008 World Junior Championships and bronze at the Africa Championships in 2012. He made the semi-finals of the event in the 2012 Olympics in London and also competed in Rio in 2016. His death follows the killing in October 2021 of Kenyan distance running star Agnes Tirop who was found stabbed to death at the age of 25 in her home in Iten, a training hub near Eldoret. Her husband Ibrahim Rotich went on trial for her murder last month. The 43-year-old has denied the charge against him and was freed on bail just before the trial opened. Tirop was a double world 10,000m bronze medallist and 2015 world cross country champion who also finished fourth in the 5,000m at the Tokyo Olympics. She also smashed the world women-only record in the 10km road race in Germany in the month before her killing. © Copyright AFP 2023.
