Antarctica is the coldest of Earth's continents. The coldest natural temperature ever recorded on Earth was −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F) at the Soviet (now Russian) Vostok Station in Antarctica on 21 July 1983. For comparison, this is 10.7 °C (20 °F) colder than subliming dry ice at one atmosphere of partial pressure, but since CO2 only makes up 0.039% of air, temperatures of less than −150 °C (−238 °F) would be needed to produce dry ice snow in Antarctica. Antarctica is a frozen desert with little precipitation; the South Pole itself receives less than 10 cm (4 in) per year, on average. Temperatures reach a minimum of between −80 °C (−112 °F) and −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F) in the interior in winter and reach a maximum of between 5 °C (41 °F) and 15 °C (59 °F) near the coast in summer. Sunburn is often a health issue as the snow surface reflects almost all of the ultraviolet light falling on it. Given the latitude, long periods of constant darkness or constant sunlight create climates unfamiliar to human beings in much of the rest of the world.

Club play from pioneering Chicago DJs such as Hardy and Lil Louis, local dance music record shops such as Importes, State Street Records, Loop Records, Gramaphone Records and the popular Hot Mix 5 shows on radio station WBMX-FM helped popularize house music in Chicago. Later, visiting DJs & producers from Detroit fell into the genre. Trax Records and DJ International Records, Chicago labels with wider distribution, helped popularize house music inside and outside of Chicago. One 1986 house tune called "Move Your Body" by Marshall Jefferson, taken from the appropriately titled "The House Music Anthem" EP, became a big hit in Chicago and eventually worldwide. By 1986, UK labels were releasing house music by Chicago acts, and by 1987 house tracks by Chicago DJs and producers were appearing on and topping the UK music chart. By this time, house music released by Chicago-based labels was considered a must-play in clubs.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:
If you find that you regularly irritate others, you might want to work on changing parts of your behavior. Start by thinking more positively. If your thoughts are positive, you are more likely to behave in an optimistic and approachable way. Every evening, think of three good things that happened today. Cultivating an attitude of gratitude can help you feel better and share these good feelings with others. An instructor can help you better identify the behaviors you need to work on and what you can do instead. You will be able to practice communicating well in a positive environment with other students who are trying to improve. Look online for classes, seminars, or workshops in your area. You may be able to take a class at your school. Check with local therapists to see if they offer group workshops. A common reason that people get irritated is when they are treated rudely. Try to always use good manners so that you don’t upset someone. Don’t interrupt, always say please and thank you, and greet people in a friendly way. You can also be polite by respecting other people's’ personal space. Be attentive to others. Show that you are listening by maintaining eye contact (or looking at them) and asking questions when appropriate. . Pay attention when they talk about how they feel, and take their emotions seriously. People deeply appreciate people who make them feel heard and understood. Making a habit of validating people's feelings can go a long way to helping them feel comfortable around you, and helping them enjoy spending time with you. It can be really irritating if someone is constantly talking about themselves. If you've realized that you are guilty of this, figure out some ways to correct the problem. For example, ask other people questions about themselves. If you're talking about how much you loved Breaking Bad take time to ask the other person what their favorite show is. If you notice you've been talking about yourself a lot, pause and ask a question about the other person, such as "So how has your day been?" When someone is telling a story, try not to always jump in and say, "I had the same thing happen to me!" It's okay to empathize, but it's also okay to let other people steer the conversation. Notice whether the other person is asking questions. A person who is genuinely interested might prompt you to keep talking about yourself, in which case, keep doing so until the subject naturally changes. Maybe you irritated someone. That's okay, it happens to everyone. Don’t beat yourself up for it. Occasionally being annoying doesn't make you a bad person. Instead, just make an effort to smooth things over by apologizing to the person you annoyed, if appropriate, and moving forward.
Summary: | Practice positive thinking. Take a class on etiquette, communicating effectively, or speech. Be polite towards others. Validate people's feelings Talk less about yourself. Try not to be hard on yourself. | 5 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

(Reuters) - Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak stepped down on Friday after 18 days of mass protests against his rule.
Here is some reaction from around the world:
-- "The people of Egypt have spoken...Egyptians have made it clear that nothing less than genuine democracy will carry the day," said President Barack Obama.
"There will be many difficult days ahead and many questions remain unanswered."
"The military has served patriotically and responsibly as a caretaker to the state and will now have to ensure a transition that is credible in the eyes of the Egyptian people," Obama said.
-- U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called for a "transparent, orderly and peaceful transition" in Egypt. Ban also said he wanted to see "free, fair and credible" elections.
-- "I congratulate the great Egyptian nation for this victory and we share their happiness," Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi was quoted as saying by state television.
"We hope that the civil movement in Egypt can complete its victory through resistance and by a strong will so that it can successfully reach all its demands."
"It is expected that at this sensitive time, the Egyptian army which has a shining record in fighting oppression and the aggressions of the Zionist regime, carries out its historical duty by accompanying, supporting and listening to demands of its great nation until their goals are achieved."
-- "We hope the latest developments will help restore stability and normal functioning of all power structures. We hope that not only the government but also the opposition will show willingness to stabilize the situation," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
-- "It's too early to foresee how (the resignation) will affect things," a senior Israeli official said. "We hope that the change to democracy in Egypt will happen without violence and that the peace accord will remain."
-- "The resignation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is the beginning of the victory of the Egyptian revolution," said Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri.
"Such a victory was the result of the sacrifices and the steadfastness of the Egyptian people," he said. "We call upon the new Egyptian leadership to take an immediate decision to lift the blockade of Gaza and open Rafah (border) crossing permanently to allow people's free movement and in order for the reconstruction process of Gaza to begin," Abu Zuhri said.
-- "The EU respects President Mubarak's decision today. By standing down, he has listened to the voices of the Egyptian people and has opened the way to faster and deeper reforms," EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton said.
"It is important now that the dialogue is accelerated leading to a broad-based government which will respect the aspirations of, and deliver stability for, the Egyptian people."
"The future of Egypt rightly remains in the hands of the Egyptian people. The EU stands ready to help in any way it can."
-- "France ardently hopes the new Egyptian authorities will take steps that lead to establishment of democratic institutions through free and transparent elections," said French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
Sarkozy described Mubarak's decision to quit as "courageous and necessary" at a "historic moment" for Egypt after weeks of protest and demand for change.
"France urges the Egyptian authorities to proceed as fast as feasible with the reforms needed to turn Egypt into a free and pluralist society."
-- "Egypt now has a really precious moment of opportunity to have a government that can bring the country together. As a friend of Egypt and the Egyptian people we stand ready to help in any way we can," said British Prime Minister David Cameron.
"What has happened today should only be the first step. Those who now run Egypt have a duty to reflect the wishes of the Egyptian people and in particular there really must be a move to civilian and democratic rule as part of this important transition to an open, democratic and free Egypt," he added.
-- "Today is a day of great joy," German Chancellor Angela Merkel told a news conference. "We are all witness to an historic change. I share the joy of the people of Egypt, with the millions of people on the streets of Egypt."#
-- "We welcome the decision of President Mubarak to step down in deference to the wishes of the people of Egypt. We also welcome the commitment of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces to ensure a peaceful transition of power in a timebound manner to establish and open and democratic framework of governance," Indian Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna said.
-- "I look forward to the future to build a national consensus in the coming period. There is a big chance now and a window has opened after this white revolution and after the president's concession," the Egyptian secretary-general of the Arab League, Amr Moussa, told Al Arabiya television.
Asked if he was interested in being president, he said: "This is not the time to talk about that ... As an Egyptian citizen, I am proud to serve my country with all the others at this stage, to build a consensus of opinion."
-- "The resignation of President Hosni Mubarak is a step in the right direction because it came as a response to Egyptians' desire and will for change, and we have confirmed trust that our sister Egypt and its great people, with their experience, history and efficiency, will select leadership that will fulfil their ambitions and keep Egypt's security, stability and great position in the world," said Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.
-- "The UAE, which has closely monitored developments in Egypt, confirms its confidence in the ability of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces in running the country's affairs in these delicate circumstances in such a way that would realize aspirations and hopes of the Egyptian people," the statement from the Emirates News Agency said.
-- "This is a positive, important step toward the Egyptian people's aspirations of achieving democracy and reform and a life of dignity," said a statement from the Emir's royal council said.

ST. PETERSBURG — The first butts, perhaps, appeared in April on some steps behind the Sundial shopping plaza.
They were black marker scrawled on dirty, caution-yellow paint, about six inches tall, and shapely.
Three buttocks, formed by four unbroken lines. A simple yet mind-bending design that conjures a police lineup of backsides, or an alien race anatomically different from our own. They stood out among downtown's indecipherable graffiti, the signatures of bandit artists who mark up buildings undetected. People prone to walking might know of "blob dylan," and "dgen" and the person stenciling "fat guys with beards are everywhere."
But butts? On social media, a photo of the butts was a hit. They were kind of cute, people said, and definitely funny.
And then, the butts were everywhere. Dozens have appeared around the city since spring.
MORE FROM THIS WRITER: He tried to profit from St. Pete's murals, then felt the artist's wrath
A walk along Third Street between Fourth Avenue S and Central Avenue revealed what appeared to be an overnight butt spree, half a dozen more on the backs of signs and an empty display board outside a vacant nightclub. Soon they were on a pay phone in Williams Park, a trash bin in Old Northeast, the wall of an empty building in Grand Central and a utility box near the Morean Arts Center.
There were variations. Some had four cheeks. One on the restroom wall inside Black Crow Coffee has seven. Just this week, butts appeared on boards covering broken windows at the old YMCA building and along Second Avenue S.
Tagging seems to be on the rise, St. Petersburg Police officials say. The city's graffiti abatement program, which cleans up the tags, reports a 50 percent increase in calls to its graffiti hotline compared to this time last year. A weeklong project recently scrubbed 550 tags from the downtown corridor.
St. Petersburg assistant police chief James Previtera estimates maybe two or three people get arrested for tagging each year. The charge is misdemeanor criminal mischief, though if you've been convicted before, it can be a felony.
Generally, the few who get in trouble are caught in the act, or were tagging something someone really cared about.
"We're mostly concerned with investigating the graffiti that people report to us, the ones that cause real damage to private property that costs people money," Previtera said.
The city photographs and logs the address of every single tag it cleans up, so when a tagger gets caught, they can also be charged for previous work. Mostly, though, the taggers remain a mystery since the work is completed in seconds, in the dark, and with paint pens small enough to be concealed in a pocket.
As for the butts, the city's lone detective tasked with investigating graffiti is "very aware" of them, said St. Petersburg public information officer Yolanda Fernandez. Regina Williams, who runs the graffiti abatement program said, "Oh yeah, we've seen those." She chuckled about the butts, but made it crystal clear: "Graffiti is vandalism, and it takes a lot of work to clean up."
There's a sharp distinction between the type of street art St. Petersburg has become known for through its many murals, and graffiti, which is done without permission.
Muralist Johnny Vitale of the Vitale Bros. thinks a few taggers have some artistic skill, but are perhaps too lazy to do a mural, even though they live in a city where people are readily offering up blank walls. He has seen the butts, and admits they are pretty funny.
"It's an adrenaline rush to go out there and do that," Vitale said. "These kids — they're not even kids, they're adults — I think they do it for the rush."
Was that the motive behind the mysterious butt bandit? Adrenaline? For months, the tags offered no clues as to who might have the answer, or what the motives might be. Was it even one person? There could be a whole collective of butt-drawing taggers.
And then, a possible clue. A fresh butt appeared, mostly all alone, except for another conspicuous tag next to it: "neverfart."
Searching "#neverfart" on Instagram turned up, among many other accounts, an account for Soft Hoagie Rolls, which mostly posts photos of local skaters and zine-style collages. They'd also posted a somewhat familiar-looking butt drawing.
That butt photo led to the Instagram account of Jeremy Trevino, filled with pages on pages of butts in hilariously rendered situations. There are skateboarding butts, butts boxing each other, butts baking cookies. Those drawings look similar to the butt graffiti, but his are more detailed.
Trevino has even previously sold stickers featuring his own butt-centric art in St. Petersburg.
Did he do it? Has he tagged the butt onto the city?
"I can neither confirm nor deny that," Trevino said when reached by phone.
He did recognize the tags as using the design from his original drawings, which, he said, has been used by other people, "poorly." He even heard about someone getting a terrible tattoo of it.
Why does he think the person who is tagging the butt graffiti is doing it?
"For the laughs," he said. "Part of it is probably just knowing these mature, grown, white-collar people are looking at these lowbrow butts." ||||| - St. Pete is being overrun with rear ends. Police are trying to figure out who has been tagging walls downtown with a drawing that looks an awful lot like a naked buttock.
"It is clearly an image of a butt," said an employee of a coffee shop where the image was tagged on the bathroom wall.
"It appears to be a posterior or two," offered a worker downtown.
"It looks like a butt with three cheeks," said another passerby.
The painted posteriors have shown up mostly downtown -- behind buildings, the bottoms of walls, and the rears of restaurants.
They feature between two and seven cheeks and have produced just as many opinions.
"I don't think it is funny at all," said one downtown worker. "I don't think it is very good either. It's not very creative."
St. Pete police have documented at least 20 tuchuses, most of which have already been wiped by the property owners.
"It has been speculated that is part of the human anatomy," said St. Pete Police Assistant Chief Jim Previtera. "But what it looks like to us is vandalism."
Police aren't yet close to identifying the person who has been moonlighting in moons, but when they do, that person will have to pay out the you-know-what for each property to be cleaned.
They could even face a felony.
"We have one detective who, in addition to some other duties, his duty is to document it, to investigate graffiti downtown and, in recent weeks, I have added additional people to investigate it because the problem is beginning to spread," said Previtera.
The city of St. Pete is not keen on the keesters and neither are most people who spoke with FOX 13 downtown. One man analyzed it from an art critic's perspective.
"It's a classic. Is it art or not? My personal angle on it is it's just vandalism. One is funny. Beyond that? No more," he decided.
St. Pete police make two to three arrests a year for graffiti. ||||| ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (WFLA) — You could call it a derrière dilemma, a keister caper, or even a rump riddle. Ah, yes. It is sixth-grade humor at its finest with endless comical posterior possibilities.
At the end of the day, however, what’s now being called “butt graffiti” is ultimately illegal.
The design is popping up all over the place in St. Petersburg, in places near the old YMCA and the Morean Arts Center.
At least twenty cases have surfaced in the last several months. The silhouette of three “cheeks,” so to speak, is the featured signature of the anonymous artist.
“The bottom line is whoever is doing this is destroying property,” St. Petersburg Assistant Police Chief Jim Previterra said. “They are marking up the beautiful downtown area of St. Petersburg.”
Indeed, St. Pete is a city known for its beautiful art and stunning murals. Many people are upset by this new graffiti involving a tush trend. They don’t like the fact that the bold buttocks are suddenly everywhere.
“This is not art. At all,” said one woman. “It’s vandalism.”
“There should be consequences. You can’t just take it upon yourself to do whatever you want to do,” another man said.
The assistant police chief describes it as an “eyesore.”
“It’s causing the city to have to go around behind who this is and clean up,” he said. “And, we have to dedicate more resources to it.”
In the end, the mystery man or woman who is showcasing these backsides will most likely get a front row seat in a court room
“It’s illegal,” Assistant Chief Previterra said. “In the end, everyone gets their day.”

What is a one-paragraph summary of the above article? | – "It is clearly an image of a butt," a coffee shop employee tells Fox 13 regarding a piece of graffiti that recently appeared in their bathroom. But police have a different view. "What it looks like to us is vandalism," Assistant Police Chief Jim Previterra says. Dozens of pieces of "butt graffiti" have been popping up all over St. Petersburg in Florida dating back to at least April. The Tampa Bay Times describes the offending art: "Three buttocks, formed by four unbroken lines. A simple yet mind-bending design that conjures a police lineup of backsides, or an alien race anatomically different from our own." While the butt graffiti usually features three cheeks, some examples have had up to seven. The butts have been a big hit on social media, but not everyone is a fan. "I don't think it is very good," one person tells Fox 13. "It's not very creative." “This is not art. At all,” a woman tells WFLA. “It’s vandalism.” Police have documented at least 20 instances of butt graffiti in St. Petersburg. And Previterra, who calls the graffiti an "eyesore," says they will catch the culprit. “In the end, everyone gets their day," he says. Meanwhile, the Times went down an internet rabbit hole to find the artist who could possibly be responsible for the ballooning butt problem. The artist says he "can neither confirm nor deny" the butts are his. | 3 | Flan2021 | multi_news:1.0.0 | zs_opt |
In the small American town of Meadowvale Dr. Anthony Blake (David Gale, the IMDb listing for this character is wrong it's definitely Dr. Blake not Dr. Blakely) is the director and founder of the famed 'Psychological Research Institute' and also host's a local T.V. programme called 'Independent Thinkers'. He uses this T.V. show to hypnotise the viewers and make them commit acts of violence. Dr. Blake has the help of a large brain with an evil face that uses it's spinal cord as a tail thingy. Usually the brain is just sitting in a tank, eats mice and the odd bad actor, each time it eats someone it gets much bigger. Meanwhile at the local high-school gifted but troublesome teenager Jim Majelewski (Tom Bresnahan) has been caught putting Sodium down the toilets. Jim is sent to Dr. Blake at the PRI for help with his attitude and behavioural problems. While there Dr. Blake hooks Jim up to, well something I'm not actually sure what. This whatever it is, is attached to the brain. At first Jim is able to resist the brain's mind control. The brain feels that Jim is a threat to itself and it's plans. Once out of the PRI Jim starts having bizarre hallucinations and crashes his car. Jim makes it to his waitress girlfriend Janet (Cynthia Preston as Cyndy Preston) but is handed back to Dr. Blake's assistant Verna (George Buza) soon after by Officer Marks (Harry Booker). The brain wants to kill Jim because he is the only one capable of withstanding it's mind control techniques, and with 'Independent Thinkers' going national the brain doesn't want anything or anyone to stop it's evil plan for world domination! Jim quickly realises that the brain is controlling the entire town and he alone must stop the brain, before it takes over the world!
Directed by Ed Hunt who calls himself Edward Hunt here, the Brain wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Don't get me wrong as it certainly isn't great either. The script by Barry Pearson tries a stab at satire with the brain washing and mind control by T.V. storyline. It moves along at a fair pace and isn't too boring. No explanation is given for the existence of the brain at all, it's just there and that's it we have to accept it. The story is a little choppy and never fully explores one single element, there's the T.V. mind control, the brain itself, Jim being hunted by the police & his misbehaviour and various other little bits and pieces here and there including a bizarre revelation regarding Dr. Blake that isn't explained at all. Production wise this film looks cheap, and probably was cheap. The acting isn't great but I've seen worse, and what is David Gale doing in this? In fact this role is similar to Gale's role in Re-Animator (1985) even down to his character's deaths in both films. The brain itself at first sits in a tank and starts to grow whenever it eats someone and by the end it is pretty big. Each stage is just made of rubber. It doesn't look particularly good and isn't scary or creepy, just cheap. There's no blood or gore in it apart from a blink and you'll miss it decapitation. The nudity is provided by Dr. Blake's assistant Vivian (Christine Kossak as Christine Kossack) before she gets eaten. The brain had a certain entertainment value for me but I would think most people would dislike it. Maybe worth a watch if you can see it on T.V. for free.

Shyamalan or Paramount/Nickelodeon did not immediately confirm the ``go-ahead'' or whether the plug will be pulled on the trilogy. While filming The Last Airbender, Shyamalan mapped out a rough draft for a second film that is ``darker'' and includes Azula, portrayed by Summer Bishil, as the main antagonist. In a July 2010 interview with New York Magazine, Shyamalan commented ``In the next few months we'll be able to know whether we have that opportunity or not'' when asked about the sequel. No such announcement was made and in a September 2010 interview when asked if he knew when the sequel will be made, he replied, ``I don't, because there are so many factors they take into account'', adding, ``I guess it will get into an area where it becomes a discussion -- like pros and cons.'' In September 2015, Shyamalan confirmed to Metro UK that he may work on the sequel after completing his next thriller, which started shooting in November 2015.

Write an article based on this "Plan according to how much time you have to cook. Make sure you have the right equipment. Confirm that the ingredients can be easily attained. Avoid elaborate food preparation unless you have help."
Article: | Take into account how much time you have each day to cook. For instance, if you work 8 or more hours per day, you’re going to have less time available for preparing meals. Plan meals that are faster and easier to prepare. Invest in a crock pot. You do a quick prep the night before, toss everything in the crock pot the next morning, turn it on and you're done! When you arrive back home later that evening, your meal will be waiting for you. Cook large batches and freeze portions for later meals. Use canned items, like beans, for a quicker meal prep. No hours of soaking required. When you're short on time, use frozen vegetables instead of fresh. Frozen veggies are still nutritious, and you'll save tons of prep time. Explore new recipes that incorporate baking, grilling and sauteing. Baking casseroles, for example, generally requires a short prep time and once you pop it in the oven, you don't have to babysit it. Be certain that you have the cookware, utensils, dishes and other items required for the meals you’re planning on hand before you buy all of the ingredients to make them. If you are planning large meals with the intention of having leftovers, make sure you have enough storage containers and Tupperware to accommodate everything. Avoid recipes that require fruits and vegetables that are out of season. Also avoid recipes that require gourmet ingredients or any other hard-to-find items. If you’re planning large meals, make sure the ingredients you need can be easily obtained in large quantities. If you’re cooking alone, don’t plan elaborate or complex meals that require a lot of preparation.

The American Civil War boosted the local economy with wartime purchases of industrial goods, including that of the New Haven Arms Company, which would later become the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. (Winchester would continue to produce arms in New Haven until 2006, and many of the buildings that were a part of the Winchester plant are now a part of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company Historic District.) After the war, population grew and doubled by the start of the 20th century, most notably due to the influx of immigrants from southern Europe, particularly Italy. Today, roughly half the populations of East Haven, West Haven, and North Haven are Italian-American. Jewish immigration to New Haven has left an enduring mark on the city.

All is not well in the otherworldly world of the second human to walk on the Moon.
Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin has sued his family, including his son Andy Aldrin, former business manager Christina Korp, and several foundations. The suit alleges that the family has taken advantage of the 88-year-old through a de facto guardianship.
Filed on June 7 in a Florida judicial circuit court and obtained Friday evening by Ars, the lawsuit alleges that Andy Aldrin and Korp used the former astronaut’s personal credit cards, trust accounts, artifacts, and social media accounts for their own purposes. It additionally alleges the following: that the family prevented Aldrin, who has been married three times, from marrying for a fourth time; that the family has “bullied” his romantic interests; and that the family has slandered the astronaut by saying he has dementia or Alzheimer’s.
By suing, Buzz Aldrin seeks to remove Andy Aldrin as the controlling trustee of his estate and to gain full access to his space memorabilia. A spokesman for the Aldrin family declined comment on Friday evening due to the ongoing nature of the legal action.
On Twitter
The lawsuit comes as Aldrin’s verified Twitter account with 1.4 million followers, @TheRealBuzz, became hyperactive on June 18 after more than a month of dormancy. Among his first tweets was a bitter message toward Korp and another of her clients, fellow astronaut Terry Virts.
Hey Twittersphere, pls RT @buzzs_xtina was terminated and does NOT represent Buzz Aldrin in ANY capacity. Her days of using Buzz's voice & brand to self-promote/ promote her clients i.e. @AstroTerry are over. [Hope she changes her twitter handle soon as that's just embarrassing!] — Buzz Aldrin (@TheRealBuzz) June 19, 2018
Aldrin’s first tweet on June 18 was a retweet of Lisa La Bonte, who had taken to the social medium to ask Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey to call Aldrin. According to Keith Cowing of NASA Watch, La Bonte and Linn LeBlanc (formerly affiliated with one of Aldrin’s educational foundations) appear to be involved with the astronaut’s management now. La Bonte is listed as a member in a May 2018 filling to create Buzz Aldrin Ventures, LLC.
“His Twitter account account suddenly became super-active and had a tweet that maligned his longtime assistant and a fellow astronaut out of nowhere,” Cowing told Ars in a phone interview. “The tone and substance of the tweet got my attention. This is really uncharacteristic of Buzz. This is not the Buzz Aldrin I’ve known for decades.”
Aldrin legacy
Sources in the aerospace community have raised concerns about Aldrin in recent days to Ars. They say they have tried to tell the astronaut, who still commands respect in the industry, that his family has his best interests at heart. Aldrin frequently appears at White House space events and is a member of the Users’ Advisory Group of the National Space Council, which is led by Vice President Mike Pence.
Unfortunately, one of these sources said, Aldrin was not receptive. “I told him to finish well,” this aerospace leader told Ars. “He doesn’t listen at all.”
“This is doing real harm to his ability to do what he wants to do,” said another person close to the astronaut. “He wants to be a player in space policy today, and what he’s engaging in right now is not helping that at all.” ||||| Hey Twittersphere, pls RT @buzzs_xtina was terminated and does NOT represent Buzz Aldrin in ANY capacity.

Update, June 23:
Buzz Aldrin's children, Andy Aldrin and Jan Aldrin, on June 23 released the following statement about their father's lawsuit:
"We are deeply disappointed and saddened by the unjustified lawsuit that has been brought against us individually and against the foundation that we have built together as a family to carry on Dad’s legacy for generations to come. When we established the current structure several years ago, it was done so at Buzz’s request and with his full support. If nothing else, our family is resilient and our ability to work together to solve problems and accomplish great things is strong. We love and respect our father very much and remain hopeful that we can rise above this situation and recover the strong relationship that built this foundation in the first place. We will not be commenting further on the lawsuit and ask your understanding and respect for our family privacy at this extremely difficult time.”
Original story:
Apollo 11 moonwalker Buzz Aldrin has launched a legal battle against his children and family foundation, accusing them of abusing his trust and finances nearly 50 years after his historic moon landing.
The 88-year-old Aldrin's children, in turn, say they fear he is a victim of manipulation by parties seeking to take advantage of his money and reputation.
In a civil suit filed this month in Brevard County Circuit Court, Aldrin, a Satellite Beach resident, claims his son, daughter and a former manager have misused credit cards, refused to disclose financial information and mismanaged social media accounts and other media obligations.
Aldrin further says they have slandered him, telling others that he has dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, and have refused to let him marry and undermined romantic relationships.

The family and Buzz Aldrin Space Foundation “have used this tactic to gain further control over (Buzz Aldrin’s) personal relationships, business contacts, and assets,” the lawsuit states.
Aldrin also seeks to remove his son, Andy Aldrin, as the controlling trustee of his estate that oversees memorabilia worth millions of dollars.
Andy Aldrin is a former rocket company executive who also serves as the foundation’s president and director of the Aldrin Institute based at the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne. Buzz Aldrin's daughter, Jan Aldrin, is a foundation board member. Buzz Aldrin is the foundation’s chairman, but does not oversee day-to-day operations.
The foundation, which is gearing up for an annual gala fundraiser July 21 at Kennedy Space Center, did not comment directly on the lawsuit Friday.
However, the foundation said in a statement that it has “concerns for (Buzz Aldrin’s) vulnerability to manipulation by other parties seeking to gain access to and control of foundation and personal resources.”
Those concerns were expressed this week after public questions arose about a surge of activity on Buzz Aldrin’s official Twitter account, after it had been dormant for six weeks.
One of the messages personally attacked Aldrin’s longtime manager, Christina Korp, of Winter Park, Florida, accusing her of “using Buzz’s voice and brand to self-promote/ promote her clients ….”
Echoing the lawsuit filed June 7, the tweet said Aldrin had fired Korp, whom the lawsuit also accuses of fraud and other exploitation.
The family foundation said that was not true, and that Korp remains a board member with its full support.
The foundation also said someone else appeared to be speaking for Aldrin on his official Twitter account, @TheRealBuzz.
“We are not sure who is responsible for the tweet regarding Christina Korp, but we are confident Buzz did not write this," the foundation said in a statement.
Florida Tech, which houses the Aldrin Space Institute and Aldrin Center for Entrepreneurship in Space, also is a defendant in the case.
Identifying Buzz Aldrin as a “vulnerable adult” under Florida law, the lawsuit accuses Andy Aldrin of making “large sums of transactions monthly” from Buzz Aldrin’s accounts.
“The amounts are unknown in amount but substantial, potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars,” the suit states.

Robert Tourtelot, Buzz Aldrin’s Santa Monica, California-based lawyer, did not immediately respond to a call for comment.
The lawsuit reflects a rift that has divided the Apollo astronaut — who this week visited the White House for a National Space Council meeting — from his family in favor of a different management team.
The new team last month promised to unveil a new Aldrin initiative, the Human Spaceflight Institute, at Spaceport Houston located at Ellington Airport.
The planned May 22 press event was canceled without explanation. But on Friday, its spokesperson, Beverly Hills-based Edward Lozzi of Lozzi Media Services, said to stay tuned.
“We are going to be making a major announcement in the near future,” Lozzi told FLORIDA TODAY.
Lozzi previously has represented celebrity clients including Lou Ferrigno and Jon Voight and served as a White House press aide under President George H.W. Bush, according to his website.
Aldrin’s new advisers have established a Los Angeles-based entity, Buzz Aldrin Ventures, that they say now represents his business interests.

The organization’s website says it is “Buzz’s overarching holding company charged with developing strategic projects and international joint ventures that further Buzz’s vision and legacy in addition to activities formerly undertaken by Buzz Aldrin Enterprises.”
The venture’s chief operating officer is Linn LeBlanc,who had previously worked as executive director for Buzz Aldrin’s Share Space Foundation, a major educational initiative run by the family foundation. Her involvement with Share Space ended in February 2017, according to LeBlanc’s LinkedIn page.
LeBlanc also previously served as executive director for more than a decade of the then Kennedy Space Center-based Astronaut Scholarship Foundation.
Also involved with Aldrin, according to the online news site NASA Watch, is Lisa LaBonte, who once served as CEO of the United Arab Emirates-based Arab Youth Venture Foundation, which partnered with NASA on some education projects.
Aldrin’s family foundation says its mission is to promote STEM education, space exploration and Aldrin’s legacy. It reported net assets of about $240,000 in 2016, according to IRS documents.
“We are determined to protect Buzz’s personal reputation and professional legacy, while also protecting his ability to remain self-sustaining financially,” the foundation said.

Write a summary. | – The first sign something was amiss in Buzz Aldrin's world came Monday, when a tweet was sent out via the Twitter account the famed Apollo 11 astronaut hasn't used much in recent weeks. "Hey Twittersphere, pls RT @buzzs_xtina was terminated and does NOT represent Buzz Aldrin in ANY capacity," the tweet read, referring to Aldrin's longtime manager, Christina Korp. Now, more news has emerged: The 88-year-old Aldrin filed a lawsuit June 7 against Korp, his children, and his own organizations, claiming they've taken advantage of his trust and his finances, slandered him by saying he has dementia, and tried to derail romantic relationships he's had, Florida Today reports. Per the complaint, the family and the Buzz Aldrin Space Foundation have done so "to gain further control over [Buzz Aldrin's] personal relationships, business contacts, and assets." Aldrin's kids and the foundation, however, are telling a different story: They fear Aldrin has potentially been manipulated by other parties who are trying to get ahold of his money and capitalize on his reputation. The foundation also notes that Korp hasn't actually been fired and is still one of the group's board members, and also that it doesn't think Aldrin himself penned the tweet saying she'd been canned. "We are not sure who is responsible for the tweet regarding Christina Korp, but we are confident Buzz did not write this," the foundation said in a statement. NASA journalist Keith Cowing, who's known Aldrin for a long time, tells Ars Technica that tweet also caught his eye, as Aldrin hadn't been on Twitter of late and the tweet sounded "uncharacteristic." "This is not the Buzz Aldrin I've known for decades," he says. | 6 | Flan2021 | multi_news:1.0.0 | zs_opt |

How to get nail polish out of fabric
Place the stained fabric facedown on a few paper towels.
The part of the fabric that is stained should be against the paper towels. Use this method whether the nail polish is wet or dry.
Pick from:
a). Leave the object where it is stain-free for a few minutes-it will set up with this method. Remove the paper towels and repeat this process until the stain has been cleaned up.;
b). If you are dyeing something that cannot be bothered, and the fabric is stained for a long time, you can sit the stained fabric on a couple of paper towels and let it dry before proceeding. This method is especially effective on dark colors like browns or blacks, as oxidized cosmetics can stain.;
c). This method works effectively on cotton, linen, silk, denim, and most other fabrics. Proceed with caution if the item in question contains acetate or triacetate since the nail polish remover melts fabrics containing these chemicals.;
d). If you want to add a little longer fabric, lay the stained fabric on a few colored paper towels and coat with rubber cement. Wet paper towels only so that the fabric and clothes are drenched in concrete.; | c). | 5 | Flan2021 | hellaswag:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

Palmerston died in 1865, and after a brief ministry led by Russell, Derby returned to power. In 1866, Victoria attended the State Opening of Parliament for the first time since Albert's death. The following year she supported the passing of the Reform Act 1867 which doubled the electorate by extending the franchise to many urban working men, though she was not in favour of votes for women. Derby resigned in 1868, to be replaced by Benjamin Disraeli, who charmed Victoria. "Everyone likes flattery," he said, "and when you come to royalty you should lay it on with a trowel." With the phrase "we authors, Ma'am", he complimented her. Disraeli's ministry only lasted a matter of months, and at the end of the year his Liberal rival, William Ewart Gladstone, was appointed prime minister. Victoria found Gladstone's demeanour far less appealing; he spoke to her, she is thought to have complained, as though she were "a public meeting rather than a woman".
