It looked great, the security and staff were great but the blond, big boobs bartender leaves something to be desired. I waited and waited for her to serve me but she never did. She did, however, take care of the WHITE guys on both sides of me and even took the time to reach over the counter to hug one of her female friends. She would look me dead in the eyes but would not ask if I wanted anything. And each time I yelled to get her attention, she ignored me. Other patrons were taken care of her quickly and with a smile, what the what!!!! I try never to use the race card but when it is this open it has to be said. I would never go back to this place and if you are of color (or not) I would suggest you not go either.

The Toyota RAV4 (Japanese: トヨタ RAV4 (ラヴフォー), Toyota Ravufō) is a compact crossover SUV (sport utility vehicle) produced by the Japanese automobile manufacturer Toyota. This was the first compact crossover SUV; it made its debut in Japan and Europe in 1994, and in North America in 1995. The vehicle was designed for consumers wanting a vehicle that had most of the benefits of SUVs, such as increased cargo room, higher visibility, and the option of full-time four-wheel drive, along with the maneuverability and fuel economy of a compact car. Although not all RAV4s are four-wheel-drive, RAV4 stands for ``Recreational Activity Vehicle: 4-wheel drive'', because the aforementioned equipment is an option in select countries.

Charlton is related to several professional footballers on his mother's side of the family: his uncles were Jack Milburn (Leeds United and Bradford City), George Milburn (Leeds United and Chesterfield), Jim Milburn (Leeds United and Bradford City) and Stan Milburn (Chesterfield, Leicester City and Rochdale), and legendary Newcastle United and England footballer Jackie Milburn, was his mother's cousin. However, Charlton credits much of the early development of his career to his grandfather Tanner and his mother Cissie. His elder brother, Jack, initially worked as a miner before applying to the police, only to also become a professional footballer with Leeds United. His other brother, Tommy, plays walking football for the Mature Millers club in Rotherham.
On 9 February 1953, then a Bedlington Grammar School pupil, Charlton was spotted playing for East Northumberland schools by Manchester United chief scout Joe Armstrong. Charlton went on to play for England Schoolboys and the 15-year-old signed with United on 1 January 1953, along with Wilf McGuinness, also aged 15. Initially his mother was reluctant to let him commit to an insecure football career, so he began an apprenticeship as an electrical engineer; however, he went on to turn professional in October 1954. Charlton became one of the famed Busby Babes, the collection of talented footballers who emerged through the system at Old Trafford in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s as Matt Busby set about a long-term plan of rebuilding the club after the Second World War. He worked his way through the pecking order of teams, scoring regularly for the youth and reserve sides before he was handed his first team debut against Charlton Athletic in October 1956. At the same time, he was doing his National service with the Royal Army Ordnance Corps in Shrewsbury, where Busby had advised him to apply as it meant he could still play for Manchester United at the weekend. Also doing his army service in Shrewsbury at the same time was his United teammate Duncan Edwards. Charlton played 14 times for United in that first season, scoring twice on his debut and managing a total of 12 goals in all competitions, and including a hat-trick in a 5-1 away win over Charlton Athletic in the February. United won the league championship but were denied the 20th century's first "double" when they controversially lost the 1957 FA Cup Final to Aston Villa. Charlton, still only 19, was selected for the game, which saw United goalkeeper Ray Wood carried off with a broken cheekbone after a clash with Villa centre forward Peter McParland. Though Charlton was a candidate to go in goal to replace Wood (in the days before substitutes, and certainly before goalkeeping substitutes), it was teammate Jackie Blanchflower who ended up between the posts. Charlton was an established player by the time the next season was fully underway, which saw United, as current League champions, become the first English team to compete in the European Cup. Previously, the Football Association had scorned the competition, but United made progress, reaching the semi-finals where they lost to holders Real Madrid. Their reputation was further enhanced the next season as they reached the quarter finals to play Red Star Belgrade. In the first leg at home, United won 2-1. The return in Yugoslavia saw Charlton score twice as United stormed 3-0 ahead, although the hosts came back to earn a 3-3 draw. However, United maintained their aggregate lead to reach the last four and were in jubilant mood as they left to catch their flight home, thinking of an important League game against Wolves at the weekend.

Hoping to continue their winning streak, the Bears flew to Cowboys Stadium for an NFC matchup with the Cowboys. In the first quarter Chicago took the early lead as kicker Robbie Gould nailed a 38-yard field goal. Then they trailed with WR Dez Bryant returning a punt 62 yards to the endzone for a touchdown. While the Cowboys were able to pressure quarterback Jay Cutler in the early stages of the game, the Bears' offense made adjustments and regained momentum. The Bears got the lead back when Cutler made a 39-yard TD pass to tight end Greg Olsen. In the second quarter the Bears trailed again when QB Tony Romo made a 1-yard touchdown pass to RB Chris Gronkowski, but took the lead with Cutler making a nine-yard TD pass to WR Devin Hester. The Bears increased their lead when kicker Robbie Gould made a 40-yard field goal. In the third quarter Dallas would reply with kicker David Buehler nailing a 28-yard field goal. The Bears increased their lead in the fourth quarter when Cutler made a three-yard TD pass to RB Matt Forte. The Cowboys made the final score of the game with Buehler hitting a 48-yard field goal.

"This was my 59-year-old brother," Haskell said of the revelation in a phone interview. "He had been this little boy, and all my memories had been of a male. It makes you revisit your whole past."

Christopher James Christie (born September 6, 1962) is an American politician, former federal prosecutor, and political commentator who served as the 55th Governor of New Jersey from 2010 to 2018. During his governorship, he chaired the Opioid and Drug Abuse Commission in 2017. Christie became an ABC News contributor in 2018 after leaving office. Christie was born in Newark and raised in Livingston.
Christie volunteered for President George H. W. Bush's 1992 re-election campaign in New Jersey, and became close to Bush's state director, Bill Palatucci. Following the campaign, Christie decided to run for office, and moved to Mendham Township. In 1993, Christie launched a primary challenge against the New Jersey Senate Majority Leader, John H. Dorsey. However, Christie's campaign ended after Dorsey successfully challenged the validity of Christie's petition to appear on the ballot. In 1994, Christie was elected as a Republican to the Board of Chosen Freeholders, or legislators, for Morris County, New Jersey, after he and a running mate defeated incumbent freeholders in the party primary. Following the election, the defeated incumbents filed a defamation lawsuit against Christie based on statements made during the primary campaign. Christie had incorrectly stated that the incumbents were under "investigation" for violating certain local laws. The lawsuit was settled out of court, with Christie acknowledging that the prosecutor had actually convened an "inquiry" instead of an "investigation", and apologizing for the error, which he said was unintentional. As freeholder, Christie required the county government to obtain three quotes from qualified firms for all contracts. He led a successful effort to bar county officials from accepting gifts from people and firms doing business with the county. He voted to raise the county's open space tax for land preservation; however, county taxes on the whole were decreased by 6.6% during his tenure. He successfully pushed for the dismissal of an architect hired to design a new jail, saying that the architect was costing taxpayers too much money. The architect then sued Christie for defamation over remarks he made about the dismissal, eventually dropping the suit without explanation. In 1995, Christie announced a bid for a seat in the New Jersey General Assembly; he and attorney Rick Merkt ran as a ticket against incumbent Assemblyman Anthony Bucco and attorney Michael Patrick Carroll in the Republican primary. Christie ran as a pro-choice candidate and supporter of the ban on assault weapons. Bucco and Carroll, the establishment candidates, defeated the up-and-comers by a wide margin. After this loss, Christie's bid for re-nomination to the freeholder board was unlikely, as unhappy Republicans recruited John J. Murphy to run against Christie in 1997. Murphy defeated Christie in the primary. Murphy, who had falsely accused Christie of having the county pay his legal bills in the architect's lawsuit, was sued by Christie after the election. They settled out of court with the Freeholders admitting wrongdoing and apologizing. Christie's career in Morris County politics was over by 1998. In March 2010, Christie signed into law three state pension reform bills, which had passed with bipartisan support. The laws decreased pension benefits for future hires and required public employees to contribute 1.5 percent of their salaries toward their health care. The laws prompted a lawsuit by the police and firefighters' unions. In his campaign for governor, Christie opposed any change in pension benefits for firefighters and law enforcement officers, including "current officers, future officers or retirees". He described the pension agreement as "a sacred trust". Later that year, he called for further cuts, including the elimination of cost-of-living adjustments for all current and future retirees. In June 2011, Christie announced a deal with the Democratic leadership of the legislature on a reform of public employee pensions and benefits. The deal raised public employees' pension contributions, mandated the state to make annual payments into the system, increased public employee contributions toward health insurance premiums, and ended collective bargaining for health benefits. The reform is projected to save the state $120 billion over 30 years. In June 2013, Christie signed a $33 billion state budget that makes a record $1.7 billion payment to the state's pension fund and also increases school funding by almost $100 million. The budget resulted from negotiations between Christie and Democratic leaders in the state legislature and was the first that Christie has signed as passed, without vetoing any of its provisions. In May 2014, Christie cut the contributions to New Jersey public workers' pension funds for a 14-month period by nearly $2.5 billion to deal with a revenue shortfall in the state budget of $2.75 billion. The state will instead make a $1.3 billion payment during the period. Christie cited the state constitution's requirement to have a balanced budget for his decision to cut payments to pensions for state workers, and follows Christie's changes to the state's pension formula earlier in 2014 to save $900 million through the end of his term. Christie has stated that he believes that the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection is too big and is "killing business" with permit delays and indiscriminate fines. He announced that, if elected, the agency would be his first target for government reduction: he would reduce its workforce and strip it of its fish and wildlife oversight. Christie has stated that he intends to simultaneously spur growth in the state's manufacturing sector and increase New Jersey's capability to produce alternative energy. He has proposed a list of policy measures to achieve this, including giving tax credits to businesses that build new wind energy and manufacturing facilities, changing land use rules to allow solar energy on permanently preserved farmland, installing solar farms on closed landfills, setting up a consolidated energy promotion program, and following a five-to-one production to non-production job ratio in the creation of new energy jobs. In August 2010, legislation to encourage the development of wind power in New Jersey was signed by Christie at the Port of Paulsboro. The Offshore Wind Economic Development Act authorized New Jersey Economic Development Authority to provide up to $100 million in tax credits for wind energy facilities. The governor has pledged to ban coal-fired power plants, and to reach 22.5% renewable generation in the state by 2021. On May 26, 2011, Christie announced he would pull the state out of Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. This was challenged in court which ruled in March 2014 that Christie had acted illegally in doing so since state regulations do not permit it. His administration is seeking to repeal the rules.

Summarize this article:
Farms often attract starlings, but the birds can eat your livestock feed and spread disease to your animals. Using feed and feeding methods that do not attract starlings can help keep the birds off of your farm. Provide either granular feed or large pellets (at least 0.5 inch in size) that are more difficult for starlings to eat. Do not put animal feed directly on the ground. Use bird-proof feeders. Many of these will make “clanging” noises periodically or have covers that birds cannot penetrate. Feed animals in a covered area, such as a barn. Feed animals in the evening or after dark. If you use bird feeders to attract songbirds to your yard, you may be annoyed by starlings eating all of your bird feed and scaring off other birds. Place wide netting or a cage around feeders. Smaller songbirds will be able to penetrate the holes, but starlings will not. Cut perches very short so that only smaller birds can perch on your feeders. Try a feeder that requires birds to feed upside down: starlings do not like to eat upside down. Do not put birdseed directly on the ground. Standing water should be drained or limited to depths containers in which the water level is at least six inches below the edge of the container and the depth of the water is at least three inches. Different types of spray that are safe for humans are available. This is a particularly good option if you have a crop that starlings like to eat, like grapes or berries. Try spraying methyl anthranilate, a grape flavoring, on food sources. Garlic oil may also deter starlings. Applying it to bird seed “bait” or spraying it on or around potential food sources may encourage them to relocate.
Summary: | Deter starlings from eating livestock feed. Adapt bird feeding techniques to smaller birds. Limit standing water levels. Spray food sources with anti-bird spray. | 2 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |
In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:
Informal letters are meant to be read in a relaxed, casual way. Feel free to use contractions, hypothetical questions, inside jokes, and other figures of speech. This will help your natural voice come through to your reader. If you're not sure what to say, it can be helpful to imagine that you're having a conversation with a friend and simply write the way you would talk. Black ink is for newspapers and dull, rigid formal letters. Grab your most vibrant pens or change the default text color in your word processor and put a little personality on the page. Blue, green, red, and other funky shades can all be fun attention grabbers, especially if you're writing to a close friend. Mixing up your use of colors is a great way to break up the monotony and emphasize key words or phrases. Make sure the color you choose contrasts your letter paper enough to be plainly visible. Otherwise, your message may be hard to read. Take advantage of the extra space on either side of the page by filling it with doodles, symbols, or quirky notes. Elements like these will allow you to express yourself creatively and give your reader something else to look at. You might spice up your description of that time you spotted Bigfoot at the mall by including an artist's rendering of what he looked like. Similarly, if you happen to catch a typo while reading back over your letter, you could turn it into a joke by crossing it out and scribbling, “I promise I know how to spell!” next to it.

EA have shown us that they can make a classic 007 agent and make you feel in the 60's world. The graphics of the game are outstanding and also the voice recording is very professional. I got this game April 2007 (two years after release), and I am still impressed with the gameplay. It's a shame that EA will no longer make 007 games.
I give this game 10/10 for the levels it contains, especially the "consulate" level. I would recommend this game to anyone from the age of 13 and over. The only thing I didn't like in the game is the Russian boat level, it was too much pressure. On the whole I like the game A LOT!!

Write an article based on this "Brainstorm wedding themes with your partner based on your interests. Take a wedding theme quiz to match your wedding to your personality. Look through magazines, blogs, and Internet sites if you need ideas. Use your wedding's location and season if you need a starting place. Include your wedding colors with your theme to add cohesion. Search for inspiration from your favorite hotels, restaurants, and stores."
Article: | When planning your wedding, it is important for you and your partner to both agree on the theme. After all, this is your special day! Sit down together and discuss potential themes, like winter wonderland or vintage. You can write down words that define you as a couple to use as inspiration. This helps you come together to get a better idea of what kind of wedding you want to have. For example, maybe you both love to travel and want to include elements of exploration with your wedding. You can use a plane ticket format for your invitations, and decorate with maps and globes. Go online and search for “wedding theme quiz.” There are numerous different quizzes you can take to help pick your theme. Most of these have 8-14 questions, and your answers help tailor your wedding theme. Answer the questions appropriate for your interests. Then, choose to use this theme or incorporate it as inspiration as you continue to create your perfect wedding theme. For example, some quizzes ask things like “What is your favorite color scheme?" and "What is your favorite dessert?" To find inspiration, search for “wedding themes” online. As you find things you like, save them to a folder or bookmark bar. Over time, you’ll notice all your saved images seem to follow a trend, and you can incorporate this trend with your them. For instance, you may save images like a farmhouse venue, mason jar accessories, and string lighting. This translates well to a country farmhouse wedding theme. In particular, Pinterest is a great resource for wedding planning. To start planning your wedding theme, you can start with your venue! Choose the wedding location of your dreams, then plan your wedding theme in relation to the venue. In addition, you can consider the season or time of year your wedding will take place as you brainstorm. For example, go with a tropical theme if you are hosting a beach wedding. A tropical theme wedding fits much better with a beach setting than it does with a church venue. When picking your theme, a great starting place is with your wedding colors. Then, you can match your decorations, flowers, dresses, and accessories to your colors. It is helpful to pick your colors after you decide on a venue. Pick your favorite shades and balance them with those that complement the location and season. Make sure you pick colors that speak to you and your partner as a couple! If your wedding is in autumn, consider having a fall-inspired wedding. You can use warm colors and incorporate leaves and gourds into your decorations. Pair your wedding colors with metallic hues if you want a touch of glam. You can also play up your wedding colors with a monochromatic theme if you want a pop of color. In addition to wedding planning resources, you can draw design inspiration from things in your day-to-day life. As you go through your day, keep an eye out for interesting colors, details, and overall theme in things like movie sets, interior design, and fine art. Make a mental note of the interesting items you find, and incorporate these ideas into your theme. Going with a wedding theme inspired outside of the wedding world adds uniqueness and creativity to your special day. Some great sources also include retail stores, window displays, and wallpaper design. For example, maybe you are watching an old film and are inspired by the 1920s clothing. Then, incorporate 1920s style and accessories in your wedding, such as fringe bridesmaid's dresses and 1920s-inspired cocktails. | 9 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

There have been cases of a variety of speech being deliberately reclassified to serve political purposes. One example is Moldovan. In 1996, the Moldovan parliament, citing fears of "Romanian expansionism", rejected a proposal from President Mircea Snegur to change the name of the language to Romanian, and in 2003 a Moldovan–Romanian dictionary was published, purporting to show that the two countries speak different languages. Linguists of the Romanian Academy reacted by declaring that all the Moldovan words were also Romanian words; while in Moldova, the head of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova, Ion Bărbuţă, described the dictionary as a politically motivated "absurdity".

Here is a news article: Call it the battle of two billionaires --philosophically. Two Silicon Valley tech moguls are coming down on opposite sides of the Hulk Hogan lawsuit against media site Gawker. Pierre Omidyar, the billionaire founder of eBay , supports Gawker’s appeal of the $140 million judgment for Hulk Hogan. The news was first reported in The New York Post on Friday. Earlier this week, Forbes was the first to report that early Facebook investor Peter Thiel was secretly funding Hogan’s suit against Gawker.
Omidyar’s online news outfit First Look Media is asking other media organizations to support Gawker by filing friend-of-the-court briefs. Gawker CEO Nick Denton has said that paying the $140 million award to Hogan would bankrupt his media company.
First Look Media’s general counsel Lynn Oberlander issued a multi-paragraph statement Friday, including this comment: “The possibility that Gawker may have to post a bond for $50 million or more just to be able to pursue its right to appeal the jury’s verdict raises serious concerns about press freedom. In keeping with our mission to protect the First Amendment, First Look Media is now organizing an amicus effort around these concerns, and we will be paying close attention as this case moves into its appeals phase. To be clear, this is about press freedom principles upon which our company was founded, and about which we care deeply."(Oberlander formerly served as editorial counsel at Forbes.)
"We welcome the support at the appellate level," a spokesperson for Gawker Media said in an emailed statement.
Omidyar and Thiel’s companies crossed paths back in 2002, when eBay spent $1.5 billion to acquire Paypal, which was founded by Thiel and Elon Musk ( Musk is now CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX). Omidyar, worth $7.7 billion according to Forbes, disagrees with Thiel on politics and the media, as he made clear in a tweet Friday afternoon.
twitter-tweet"> Also, I've never met Peter, respect his work as vc, and obv disagree on Trump and press. There is no "bad blood." https://t.co/2XCZVMyaes — Pierre Omidyar (@pierre) May 27, 2016
On the political front, Peter Thiel, a libertarian whose net worth Forbes pegs at $2.7 billion, is a delegate for presumptive Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump. Omidyar, on the other hand, has been regularly tweeting his criticisms of Trump. One of his Tweets Friday parodied Trump’s speaking style and logic (or lack thereof):
twitter-tweet">"Little Marco, first he hates me, then he loves me. Spineless, I mean, but I love him, he loves me, he's the best." Fictional Trump. — Pierre Omidyar (@pierre) May 27, 2016
Thiel told The New York Times on Wednesday that he has spent about $10 million supporting Hogan’s lawsuit against Gawker and two other lawsuits which he would not disclose. Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, sued Gawker after it posted a sex tape of the wrestler. A jury in Florida awarded Hogan $140 million in March. Gawker said at the time it would appeal the decision.
First Look Media has already been involved in the Hulk Hogan lawsuit against Gawker. A spokesman for First Look Media said Friday that 11 other media organizations, including CNN, Buzzfeed and The Associated Press, had joined First Look's first motion to intervene in the Hulk Hogan v. Gawker case in June 2015. Oberlander said in her statement that last year "we intervened with other media companies to seek access to the courtroom and to unseal some of the myriad documents in the case that had been kept from the public."
Follow Kerry Dolan on Twitter at @KerryDolan ||||| SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Billionaire media owner Pierre Omidyar is backing news and entertainment web site Gawker Media in its lawsuit against wrestler Hulk Hogan, adding a new twist to a case pitting technology money against press freedom.
Omidyar, owner of The Intercept publisher First Look Media, is asking other media outlets to file legal briefs in support of Gawker, First Look said in a statement on Friday. First Look said its goal was to protect constitutional rights.
“The possibility that Gawker may have to post a bond for $50 million or more just to be able to pursue its right to appeal the jury’s verdict raises serious concerns about press freedom,” said Lynn Oberlander, general counsel at First Look, in a statement.
Gawker is battling an invasion-of-privacy lawsuit brought by Hogan, who won a $140 million judgment against it - enough to cripple the company, which this week said it was exploring financial options. In 2012, Gawker had published a sex tape of Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea.
The saga has become a lightning rod for debate about the role of money in the legal system and civic affairs.
Omidyar, who made a fortune co-founding online auction site eBay (EBAY.O), would support Gawker in its legal fight financially as well as via the court briefs, a person familiar with the situation said. But Omidyar has no interest in buying a stake in Gawker itself, the person said. Gawker said in a statement it welcomed the support from First Look, but did not provide details.
Media outlets including Dow Jones, the New York Times Co and Turner Broadcasting did not immediately respond to requests for comment on whether First Look had approached them. A previous motion to intervene in the case was supported by several news outlets, First Look said, including Turner’s Cable News Network and the Associated Press.
Earlier this week, Peter Thiel, an early backer of Facebook (FB.O) and a co-founder of PayPal (PYPL.O), acknowledged that he had played a lead role in financing Bollea’s litigation.

Gawker posted a 2007 article about Thiel entitled, “Peter Thiel is totally gay, people.”
Omidyar, a long-time liberal, said on Twitter his actions were not personal. Thiel is backing presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump for U.S. president.
“Also, I’ve never met Peter, respect his work as VC, and obv disagree on Trump and press, there is no ‘bad blood.’” he wrote in response to a Twitter comment.
A spokesman for Thiel declined to comment on Omidyar’s backing of Gawker.
Many in Silicon Valley rushed to Thiel’s defense once news broke of his support of Hogan.
“Click bait journalists need to be taught lessons. Far less ethics and more click chasing in press today. I’m for #theil,” tweeted another prominent venture capitalist, Vinod Khosla, on Thursday.
Khosla is fighting his own legal battle over whether the public may access the beach on property he owns in San Mateo County, California.
Thiel has donated to the Committee to Protect Journalists, which advocates for journalists who encounter beatings, threats, and other intimidation.
The New York Post first reported the news of Omidyar’s latest push to support Gawker. |||||
A summary of this is? | – Hulk Hogan's ongoing lawsuit against Gawker is starting to look a lot like a game of Rock'em Sock'em Robots with two tech billionaires at the controls. On Thursday, PayPal cofounder Peter Thiel admitted to secretly funding Hogan's lawsuit to the tune of $10 million. Reuters reports he's cheesed off about a 2007 Gawker article titled “Peter Thiel is totally gay, people.” Now comes news that eBay cofounder Pierre Omidyar has agreed to back the other side, both financially and legally. Omidyar's First Look Media is encouraging other media companies to file legal briefs in support of Gawker, which, according to the New York Post, would turn an invasion-of-privacy case into a trial about First Amendment rights. “To be clear, this is about press freedom principles upon which our company was founded, and about which we care deeply,” Forbes quotes a statement from First Look Media as saying. While Omidyar, whose eBay acquired Theil's PayPal for $1.5 billion in 2002, denies any "bad blood" between them, the Post notes the two are diametrically opposed, with Omidyar a “crusading liberal and philanthropist" and Thiel a “free-market libertarian who backs Donald Trump.” A jury awarded Hogan $140 million after Gawker published a snippet of a sex tape featuring him. Gawker tried and failed to get that verdict thrown out this week. Gawker CEO Nick Denton says it will bankrupt his company. "The jury’s verdict raises serious concerns about press freedom," Reuters quotes a statement from First Look Media as saying. | 4 | Flan2021 | multi_news:1.0.0 | zs_opt |

In the Age of Trump, even comedy is a flashpoint
Perhaps we should have expected that in the Age of Trump, even comedy was going to be a very fraught affair.
Last weekend in Boston, it became clear just how fraught, when the political passions aroused by the most incendiary presidential campaign in memory spilled out during an invective-laced comedy benefit show Saturday at TD Garden.
Much of the response to the election of Donald Trump as president has played out in the streets, with protests from opponents across the country. Will the reaction to Trump, pro as well as con, also play out in comedy clubs, on scripted television, in theaters, at concerts? It seems highly likely. A country already polarized along political lines may fracture further along cultural lines.
The episode Saturday night at TD Garden, which featured ferocious broadsides from opposing perspectives that were delivered by comedians Wanda Sykes and Nick Di Paolo, underscored a new reality for standup comics and their audiences: The days, months, and years ahead will be an awkward dance amid conflicting political sensibilities. Laughter, the best medicine? More like a volatile and unpredictable brew.
Host Dave Chappelle charted the reaction to Donald Trump’s election during his “Saturday Night Live” monologue on Nov. 12.
Yet on that same night, host Dave Chappelle delivered a remarkable opening monologue on “Saturday Night Live’’ that perhaps pointed the way for comedians trying to navigate a very complex and potentially treacherous political landscape. One of the first African-American comics to command a national platform after an election that spotlighted racial divisions, Chappelle spoke in a pointed yet conversational vein, illustrating the power of comedy to channel the national mood as he charted the reaction to Trump’s election, ranging from incredulity to hope to utter dismay.
After describing his attendance at a White House party where virtually all of the guests were black, Chappelle concluded by saying: “It made me feel hopeful and it made me feel proud to be an American and it made me very happy about the prospects of our country. So in that spirit, I’m wishing Donald Trump luck. And I’m going to give him a chance — and we, the historically disenfranchised, demand that he give us one too.’’
In the weeks before the election, comedy and politics collided in Tampa when an estimated 200 audience members walked out of an Amy Schumer show when Schumer referred to Trump as an “orange, sexual-assaulting, fake-college-starting monster.’’ Schumer later offered a sardonic open letter to the walkouts: “Dearest Tampa, I’m sorry you didn’t want me, a comedian who talks about what she believes in, to mention the biggest thing going on in our country right now.’’
Veteran political comedian Jimmy Tingle, a Cambridge native, has seen evidence of a polarized nation firsthand as he has performed this year in California, Arizona, Florida, New Hampshire, and even liberal Massachusetts, where Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton trounced Trump.
“In almost any state, [the audience] is going to be 50-50, or 60-40, one way or the other,’’ said Tingle. “It’s not going to be 80-20. People are definitely more sensitive, and more in their camps. A lot of it has to do with the way the campaigns unfolded, and a lot has to do with the legitimate dimensions of the country: people not feeling heard, jobs disappearing.’’
When Tingle performed at an event in Western Massachusetts to raise funds for a hospital in Haiti, he started to tell a joke about Trump’s proposal to stem illegal immigration by building a wall on the Mexican border. “All of a sudden I hear some guy yell ‘Send ’em back,’ ’’ recalled Tingle. “And then another guy yells out: ‘Send ’em to your house.’ It was kind of weird.’’
Jimmy Tingle (pictured in Harvard Square in 2011) saw evidence of a polarized nation firsthand as he performed around the country this year.
Tingle said he has found he can communicate his points more effectively by focusing on issues like health care rather than personalities like Trump or Clinton. Comedians should “authentically listen to different points of view’’ while also clearly conveying their own “authentic’’ point of view, he said. Likening the comedic art of political persuasion to a discussion with family members, he said: “We all have people on the other side. Imagine them in the audience. Do you want to yell at them, or do you want to have a conversation?’’
However, another well-known political comedian, Barry Crimmins, struck a more defiant note. Crimmins vowed to exercise the power of the microphone against “people [who] want to come in and try to shout me down, or they can’t take someone saying three sentences they disagree with.’’ Crimmins, who’ll be performing at this week’s Boston Comedy Festival, seemed invigorated by the prospect of Trump as a comic target, though he admitted that “It’s sort of too obvious, because he’s just a ridiculous person.’’
Jim McCue, founder of the Boston Comedy Festival, declined to comment directly on the TD Garden event because he was not present, but, speaking generally, he noted that audiences can sometimes react negatively to political material at charity events. “The difference sometimes is when they go and they didn’t have an expectation of your point of view on politics,’’ said McCue.
Tempers were running high on Saturday at Comics Come Home, an annual fund-raiser for the Cam Neely Foundation for Cancer Care. It began when host Denis Leary mocked both Trump and Clinton; his routine included a video montage with a picture of Trump next to a photo of an orangutan.
When Sykes took the stage, she asserted that “we elected an orangutan to run the country,’’ prompting some boos. Then Sykes, who is African-American and a lesbian, lit into Trump for his comments about women, minorities, and gay people. “This is not the first time we’ve elected a racist, sexist, homophobic president,’’ Sykes said. When some in the audience started booing. Sykes responded: “How can you say he’s not racist? How can you say he’s not homophobic? . . . He said those things, dude.’’
When it was Di Paolo’s turn, he pushed back with a profane, pro-Trump diatribe that, according to audience members, featured caustic remarks about liberals and Boston women, a description of Senator Bernie Sanders as “an old Jew’’ and a description of a woman who protested his routine by walking up to the stage and yelling at him as a “Jew’’ from Peabody.
Sykes and Di Paolo did not respond to the Globe’s requests for comment, but each weighed in on the topic elsewhere.
A Trump backer, Di Paolo said in an online podcast that he felt compelled to respond to Sykes’s anti-Trump comments. He denied that his comment about Sanders was anti-Semitic, and said his description of the woman was “off the top of my head looking for something funny to reply. . . . Once I know the audience is PC, I become like a human troll up there.’’ To anyone who thinks they can censor his comedy on the basis of his gender and race, Di Paolo said “it ain’t gonna happen,’’ adding: “I suggest you — and this goes to Wanda and her friends — you get used to it, ’cause Trump’s the president now. The double standards, folks, you’re not going to have it.’’
Sykes, for her part, said on Facebook that audience members prevented her from getting to her punch lines. “They were yelling for me to shut the F up and to go F myself, so I simply told them how that made me feel,’’ she said. “I then moved on to other material, got some laughs, and said goodnight. I left the stage with my head held high and with my middle finger even higher.’’
The furor at the TD Garden almost certainly won’t be the last time the passions unleashed by the presidential election are manifested onstage. But it’s worth noting the postscript to Jimmy Tingle’s story about the hecklers at that fund-raiser in Massachusetts. Afterwards, the comedian went up to one of the men who yelled at him and said, “No offense.’’ The man proceeded to say: “I’m so sorry. I did four tours in Iraq, and I had too much to drink.’’ Recalled Tingle: “He was very cool afterwards.’’

A brash boosterism that had typified Melbourne during this time ended in the early 1890s with a severe depression of the city's economy, sending the local finance and property industries into a period of chaos during which 16 small "land banks" and building societies collapsed, and 133 limited companies went into liquidation. The Melbourne financial crisis was a contributing factor in the Australian economic depression of the 1890s and the Australian banking crisis of 1893. The effects of the depression on the city were profound, with virtually no new construction until the late 1890s.

Review: I don't see much reason to get into this movie in much detail. Sylvester Stallone is once again John Rambo, author and survivor of "A Season in Hell", recruited from prison by his only friend, Major Richard Crenna, to secretly return to Vietnam, take photos of the American prisoners believed to be still held in horrible camps, and return without engaging the enemy.
Fat chance. What if he actually DID nothing more than sneak in, take pics, and sneak out? Who would come to see the movie?
It's essentially a celebration of Stallone's muscles. Preparing for his mission, we see his well-oiled muscles bulging. (They are oiled and bulging throughout.) There is the ritual strapping on of black leather, ugly guns, and even uglier knives. The black guns are cleaned, assembled with loud clacks, and almost as oiled as Stallone's muscles. The bow is tested and, yes, it has enough poundage to drive a bolt through an enemy's forehead. The knife is sharpened with slick snicks.
Stallone and one of his POWs are betrayed by one or two of the suits from Washington, cynical politicians who, you can bet, were never even in a fist fight in grammar school. No guts, you know? Just sit around with their feet on the desk and drink foreign beer.
The movie does what it set out to do, but what it set out to do is meretricious. It deliberately cashes in on the myth popular in the mid-1980s that there were uncountable numbers of MIAs quietly kept in wretched camps by the North Vietnamese. The bumper stickers were ubiquitous. (Free Our MIAs.) Why would they keep them? It was never quite reasoned out but perhaps to turn the POWs into a slave labor force -- in a country that has absolutely no resource other than labor. Or maybe for their propaganda value as an instrument to humiliate the United States -- a propaganda weapon that the Vietnamese kept secret from the world.
As a captive, Rambo is treated in a Medieval fashion by the North Vietnamese. Dipped to his neck in pig excrement and then hauled out of it by his wrists, his muscles still on display. Then, not content with subhuman Vietnamese, a Russian officer is brought in to play the part of the Gestapo officer -- "Vee haff vays of MAKING you remember." A high-tech type, the Russian uses psychology and electricity, not just pig dump.
Rambo returns and declares that he intends to drift aimlessly until "this country loves us as much as we love it," bringing up another myth that Vets returning from Vietnam were uniformly spat upon and cursed, which is why I guess we elected so many to the Congress and appointed others to high-echelon positions. The last three losing presidential candidates were among that despised group. At least Rambo's aimless drifting left room open for a sequel, which arrived apace.
The action movies with Schwarzenegger and Willis and others were leavened by wisecracks but Rambo is humorless. It marches dully through it's phantasmal ideological swamp, killing without mercy, barely speaking, barely able to speak. To speak is a sign of weakness.

Article:Keith Stevenson, 39, was convicted of raping the 51-year-old at his home in Gorebridge on 18 March 2015 earlier.
Stevenson was due to be sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow on Thursday, but Lord Kinclaven ruled he needed more information.
Sentence was deferred on Stevenson until June.
Lord Kinclaven told Stevenson: "Given the fact you have two High Court convictions and the nature of this offence I am going to ask for a detailed report in relation to risk."
Stevenson continues to protest his innocence.
Stevenson attacked his victim as she was about to leave his home, grabbed her by the neck and forced her into a bedroom.
In a bid to stop the attack she told Stevenson she was pregnant.
The woman fought back, kicking and biting him, and managed to leave Stevenson's house, drove to a hospital and then called the police.
In evidence she said: "He grabbed me from behind by my neck. He told me that I wasn't going anywhere.
"He said 'shut up' and 'just be a good girl.' He said it would be all over in ten minutes.
"I was just shocked. I then said 'please let me go. I'm pregnant. I need to go to the hospital. I have an appointment. I need to go. I need to go.
"He told me to shut up."
She said: "I knew it was do or die. I started kicking him. I started screaming. He put his hand in my mouth. He said 'shut up, shut up. I'm going to kill you."
The court was told Stevenson has two High Court convictions one for assault to danger of life in 1998 for which he was jailed for six years and another for assault in 2002 for which he received four years.
Defence counsel Frances Connor said Stevenson had had a troubled childhood and was addicted to alcohol and legal highs.

When American 11 struck the World Trade Center at 8:46, no one in the White House or traveling with the President knew that it had been hijacked. While that information circulated within the FAA, we found no evidence that the hijacking was reported to any other agency in Washington before 8:46. Most federal agencies learned about the crash in New York from CNN. Within the FAA, the administrator, Jane Garvey, and her acting deputy, Monte Belger, had not been told of a confirmed hijacking before they learned from television that a plane had crashed. Others in the agency were aware of it, as we explained earlier in this chapter. Inside the National Military Command Center, the deputy director of operations and his assistant began notifying senior Pentagon officials of the incident. At about 9:00, the senior NMCC operations officer reached out to the FAA operations center for information. Although the NMCC was advised of the hijacking of American 11, the scrambling of jets was not discussed. In Sarasota, Florida, the presidential motorcade was arriving at the Emma E. Booker Elementary School, where President Bush was to read to a class and talk about education. White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card told us he was standing with the President outside the classroom when Senior Advisor to the President Karl Rove first informed them that a small, twin-engine plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. The President's reaction was that the incident must have been caused by pilot error. At 8:55, before entering the classroom, the President spoke to National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, who was at the White House. She recalled first telling the President it was a twin-engine aircraft-and then a commercial aircraft-that had struck the World Trade Center, adding "that's all we know right now, Mr. President." At the White House, Vice President Dick Cheney had just sat down for a meeting when his assistant told him to turn on his television because a plane had struck the NorthTower of the World Trade Center. The Vice President was wondering "How the hell could a plane hit the World Trade Center" when he saw the second aircraft strike the South Tower. Elsewhere in the White House, a series of 9:00 meetings was about to begin. In the absence of information that the crash was anything other than an accident, the White House staff monitored the news as they went ahead with their regular schedules.

Reading the various external reviews of Roger Ebert and other well-known film critics makes me hesitate to admit how much I love this movie, even though I only have a dubbed-into-Japanese video version of it.
Apparently, many critics seem to take it as a minus that the story premise has been used before, most famously in the very great "It's a Wonderful Life." To me, a great premise is a great premise no matter how many times it's used, and I'd be happy to see more movies using this particular premise--the discontented man who gets a chance to gain a fresh perspective on his own life through a bit of "divine magic."
I suppose folks and critics of a more intellectual bent are not as pulled into the story, but I don't go to movies to critique them with notebook in hand--I go to movies to throw myself into them and let them take me where they will.
If you are sentimental sort like myself, you'll be well rewarded by seeing this picture. The performances are excellent throughout, and the movie was very well cast. Wonderful choice of music, too. Michael Caine is superb as the sympathetic bartender. Jim Belushi does a great job as an "average Joe" kind of guy who wonders if his life hasn't gone as it should. Linda Hamilton, always excellent, is again right on target here as the loving wife. Jon Lovitz entertains as usual, and even has some surprisingly moving moments in "Mr. Destiny."
No, "Mr. Destiny" is not "It's a Wonderful Life," but who says it has to be? Taken on its own terms, "Mr. Destiny" is an enjoyable, well-made, funny, and moving film. I've seen my Japanese-dubbed video of it numerous times, and I'm sure I'll see it several more times. If that somehow makes me a "lowbrow," so be it! I'm just glad that I hadn't read any reviews of "Mr. Destiny" before seeing it.
I suppose I should have the courage of my convictions and give the movie nine or ten stars, but I couldn't help but doubt myself after reading all the critical reviews!

Write an ordered list of reviews about "elite squad the enemy within". | 1. It's a massive improvement on the first film - bracing and tightly wound, in charge of its style, and fuelled by an indignation that makes the blood boil.
2. Padhila's cop thriller goes in with all guns blazing. This, the film suggests, is the only language these scum-bums understand.
3. Partly compensates for its shortcomings by adopting a deeper, more analytical approach to its portrayal of endemic police and political corruption.
4. The plot is worked out, at times, with a complexity worthy of The Godfather and characters as memorable.
5. A thumping modern policier with a social-conscience edge.
6. Padilha delivers a bruising right and left of polemic and action.
7. Strikingly shot and savage in its violence this is a white-knuckle ride through the most dangerous corners of the Brazilian city.
8. If it lacks the freshness of Elite Squad and the brilliance of the documentary Bus 174, it's still tensely made and full of fury at the politicians.
9. Moving to its own throbbing beat, Elite Squad: The Enemy Within offers an exhilaratingly bleak vision of what it describes as "an articulation of loathsome interests," in which the well-meaning suffer...

During the Ottoman conquest of the island, about 40,000 Ottoman-Armenian craftsmen were recruited. Many of the Ottoman Armenians who survived the conquest settled mainly in Nicosia, increasing its Armenian population, while the Armenian Prelature of Cyprus was recognised as an Ethnarchy, through the millet institution. However, the Bishopric in Famagusta was abolished, as the Christian population was slaughtered or expelled and the entire walled city became forbidden for non-Muslims. As a reward for their services during the conquest, the Armenians of Nicosia were granted the right to guard Paphos Gate. However this privilege was used only for a short period. By a firman, they were given back the Notre Dame de Tyre church, which the Ottomans had turned into a salt store. Additionally, the Magaravank monastery had won the favour of the Ottomans and became an important way station for Armenian and other pilgrims en route to the Holy Land, as well as a place of rest for travellers and Catholicoi and other clergymen from Cilicia and Jerusalem. Contrary to the Latins and the Maronites, Armenians - being Orthodox - were not persecuted because of their religion by the Ottomans. Even though about 20,000 Armenians lived in Cyprus during the very first years of the Ottoman Era, by 1630 only 2,000 Armenians remained, out of a total of 56,530 inhabitants.

Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. It may be dry and sullen, but it's also smart and classy.
2. Stylishly twisty turny
3. Clever story up the sleeve, but nothing in the way of the wonder of magic. Honestly, I found the mood rather miserable.
4. Not to be confused with "The Illusionist," although it will be, is "The Prestige," the second period piece about magicians to hit the big screen within the last few weeks.
5. Had the Nolans held their cards closer to their vests for the first half of the film, The Prestige would have been one of the best of the year.
6. Watching Bowie as Thomas Edison's archenemy Nikola Tesla, you wish the role (a glorified cameo) were more integral to the story.
7. The supporting cast are excellent, particularly rising British star Rebecca Hall as Borden's wife and David Bowie,looking disturbingly like Ricky Gervais in a bizarre turn as mysterious scientist Nikolai Tesla.
8. The PrestigeH is infused with faux intellectualism -- it pretends to be more cerebral than it really is, when all it really wants to do is be the new Sixth Sense.
9. The Prestige is about dueling magicians, but the movie itself is the magic trick.
10. The Prestige's magic pales in comparison to other 'magical' films released this year.

Answer based on context:
In the mid-17th century, nuns from other monasteries in the Ukrainian and Belarusian lands were transferred to Novodevichy Convent, the first of whom was named Yelena Dyevochkina. In 1721, some of the aged nuns, who renounced the Old Believers movement, were given shelter. In 1724, the convent also housed a military hospital for the soldiers and officers of the Imperial Russian Army and an orphanage for female foundlings. By 1763, the convent housed 84 nuns, 35 lay sisters, and 78 sick patients and servants. Each year, the state provided the Novodevichy Convent with 1,500 rubles, 1,300 quarters of bread, and 680 rubles and 480 quarters of bread for more than 250 abandoned children. In 1812, Napoleon's army made an attempt to blow up the convent, but the nuns managed to save the cloister from destruction. In Tolstoy's War and Peace, Pierre was to be executed under the convent walls. In another novel of his, Anna Karenina, Konstantin Lyovin meets his future wife Kitty ice-skating near the monastery walls. Indeed, the Maiden's Field was the most popular skating-rink in 19th-century Moscow. Tolstoy himself enjoyed skating here when he lived nearby, in the district of Khamovniki. In 1871, the Filatyev brothers donated money for a shelter-school for the orphans of "ignoble origins". Also, the convent housed two almshouses for nuns and lay sisters. In early 1900s, the Cathedral was surveyed and restored by architect and preservationist Ivan Mashkov. By 1917, there were 51 nuns and 53 lay sisters residing in the Novodevichy Convent.

Unlike Saint Patrick's Day in Ireland, Saint David's Day is not a national holiday, though there is strong support for it becoming a bank holiday in Wales. In the past, schools have taken a half-day holiday, which continues in some parts of Wales. Saint David's Day is also celebrated in expatriate Welsh communities outside the UK. Cross-party support resulted in the National Assembly for Wales voting unanimously to make Saint David's Day a public holiday in 2000. A poll conducted for Saint David's Day in 2006 found that 87% of people in Wales wanted it to be a bank holiday, with 65% prepared to sacrifice a different bank holiday to achieve this. A petition in 2007 to make Saint David's Day a bank holiday was rejected by the office of the British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Select the correct sentiment of the following review: Scooby Doo is undoubtedly one of the most simple, successful and beloved cartoon characters in the world. So, what happens when you've been everywhere and done everything with the formula? You switch it up right? Wrong. You stop production and let it rest for a decade or so and then run it again, keeping the core of its success intact. That is to say, stick with the formula for the most part but add your particular flavour to it. This to me is why "What's New Scooby Doo" worked, they want back to the classic Scooby Doo formula which had only successfully resurfaced a decade earlier in "A Pup Named Scooby Doo" but for the most part had not been tapped since the original "Scooby Doo Where Are You".
The first sign (to me) of a weak offering is the inclusion of extraneous characters; there might be a few fond memories from past iterations but generally if you think "Scooby Doo" you aren't thinking of Film-Flam, Scrappy Doo or Scooby Dum. Even worse, the exclusion of the other core members of "Mystery Inc" generally indicate a group of production people who don't understand from a kids point of view how the show works. The basic premise has always been a group of people who are diametrically opposed getting together and through their own individual, stereotyped qualities manage to surmount the tasks given at hand.
This next paragraph is just my theorizing so skip it if you want: I hope that I can explain why I think fiddling around with the basic elements of the show are detrimental with my interpretation of what the gang represents and how they contribute to the whole; Fred represents the Driver, I think in general it is the purpose of Fred to give the group direction, organization and sub-tasks. Fred isn't a happy-go-lucky teenager, he's your boss, your teacher, your dad, your authority figure. Fred moves without hesitation and is driven by tasks (problem always equals solution for Fred). In many ways Fred is the antithesis to Shaggy. Shaggy is your best friend, that guy who is just a little more afraid of things than you are, he enables you to be brave, to not be at the back of the pack. Shaggy represents emotion and is frequently showing emotional extremes from elation to fear. Velma represents rational thought, she applies logic but as we see time and again on the show she requires clues that for the most part are collected in pieces by the other members of the show. Left on her own would Velma solve a mystery? The group often finds itself in situations where truths aren't obvious and only through chance encounters do they achieve the necessary information to complete their task, chance is represented by Daphne. At one point (I think it is the first Scooby Doo series) she was known as "danger prone". Writers have used Daphne to link unrelated events together through accident. She frequently is the one who finds the secret door, collection of objects or some other detail that can help the gang link clues together. Finally Scooby himself represents us, the participant. He is always in the centre of events, capable of all the things the rest of the gang are capable of, yet handicapped because he is not human and much like us the television viewer is unable to truly participate. Scooby Doo works because all these personified elements of problem solving are immediately identifiable and entertaining.
Maybe I'm over thinking things but, in my life I've seen a lot of Scooby Doo (being a 30 year old self-proclaimed nerd, it kind of rolls with the territory). To me there is a magic with the classic "Scooby Doo" formula that should never be messed with.
As many have pointed out; Scooby Doo is not a great work of art nor is it completely trite, it falls into the category of programming that can be watched by young eyes with a hearty bowl of breakfast cereal. Messing about with the raw simplicity transforms it into something else, something lesser.

Write a title for this article:
Donald Trump’s proposal to bar foreign Muslims from entering the country was among his most bombastic, helping him stand out in a crowded Republican primary field. Now the presumptive Republican nominee for president, the billionaire businessman appears to be reversing his stance. A timeline of Trump’s changing language on the issue:
The real estate mogul-turned-presidential candidate shakes up the race when he announces that he wants to bar foreign Muslims from entering the country following the shooting in San Bernardino, California. “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on,” his campaign says in a release.
Trump sticks with his Muslim ban. During Fox Business Network’s GOP debate, moderator Maria Bartiromo asks Trump whether he’s heard anything that’s made him want to rethink his “comments about banning Muslims from entering the country.”
“No,” Trump responds to laughter and applause. “Look, we have to stop with political correctness. We have to get down to creating a country that’s not going to have the kind of problems that we’ve had with people flying planes into the World Trade Centers, with the — with the shootings in California, with all the problems all over the world. … We have to find out what’s going on.”
Trump begins to stress the “temporary nature” of his ban, leading some to wonder whether he’s reconsidering. “It’s a temporary ban. It hasn’t been called for yet, nobody’s done it,” he says on Fox News Radio. “This is just a suggestion until we find out what’s going on.”
Trump delivers a speech reacting to the massacre in Orlando, Florida, in which he appears to reiterate his proposed Muslim ban. “I called for a ban after San Bernardino and was met with great scorn and anger. But now … many are saying that I was right to do so. And although the pause is temporary, we must find out what is going on. We have to do it,” he said. “It will be lifted, this ban, when and as a nation we’re in a position to properly and perfectly screen these people coming into our country.”
Trump travels to Scotland to tour a pair of golf courses. He offers contradictory responses when pressed on his position. At one point Trump tells reporters that he’d be fine with Muslims from Scotland or the U.K. coming to the U.S. Trump later takes to Twitter to offer a clarification: “We must suspend immigration from regions linked with terrorism until a proven vetting method is in place.”
