On the night of 1–2 April 2016 along the northeastern part of the NKR-Azerbaijan contact line units of Azerbaijani Armed Forces carried out large-scale attacks against the Armenian side. After the use of artillery, groups of Azerbaijani forces commenced an infantry attack. Under the leadership of captain Armenak Urfanyan, a smaller number of Armenian border soldiers started to provide heavy resistance. After two failed attempts of penetration and a loss of a tank, Azeri forces withdrew to their initial positions and resumed the artillery bombardments on the contact line. Captain Urfanyan and Yazidi-Armenian machine-gunner Karam Sloyan were soon killed. After the death of the commander, Robert Abajyan, who had suffered a wound in his leg by that time, took upon himself to proceed with the resistance.


The same year, he had a supporting role as a drag queen emcee in the film "A Star Is Born", alongside Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper, and Willam Belli.

# 'A Star Is Born': Drag Queens Shangela and Willam Improvised the Film's Funniest Moment, With Bradley Cooper's Blessing

## Yes — "Sign my titties" is a Willam Belli original.

R: Willam Belli, L: D.J. "Shangela" Pierce

The first act of "A Star Is Born" plays a bit like the gay film "Weekend," Andrew Haigh's intimate romance which follows two guys over the course of two days.

When famed country rocker Jackson Maine (Bradley Cooper), fresh out of whiskey, rolls into the nearest bar for a drink, he becomes immediately enamored with Ally (Lady Gaga), whose killer pipes earned her a coveted spot on the drag show line-up.

Overseen by a charismatic emcee, played by "RuPaul's Drag Race" favorite D.J. "Shangela" Pierce, as well as a ditzy blonde queen named Emerald (Willam Belli).

It's a glittering and gay way to open a movie, and one would expect nothing less from a Lady Gaga-headlining version of this Hollywood classic.

Much has been made of Cooper's method directing, (he reportedly wiped Lady Gaga's make-up off during her audition), and his commitment to naturalism extended to the drag bar scenes as well.

"He said, 'You know, you guys know this world.

I've done my research but you guys know.

And if I need to pull you back, I will," Pierce told IndieWire during a recent phone interview.

"It lent a certain authenticity to the role that really pops in the film …

we stepped into it and were able to add a little extra spice and flavor."

Spice and flavor is what drag queens do best, and Pierce and Belli are some of the best in the game.

Belli, a prolific TV actor before appearing on the fourth season of "Drag Race," improvised one of the film's funniest moments.

"I had four or five lines in the script.

I don't think any of them are actually in the movie," he said.

When Jackson enters the dressing room after the show to visit Ally, Emerald excitedly asks him to sign her breast plate (but she doesn't call it that).

The line gets a huge laugh, and there's even a callback to it later in the movie.

"I ran off set, grabbed a Sharpie from somebody and was like, 'I hope this wipes off between every take,' and it did.

A seasoned professional, he was shocked and delighted when so many of his jokes made it into the final cut.

"You film and you're like, 'Oh, I hope a couple of my jokes made it in,' because [Cooper] let it be collaborative and stuff.

And, not only does he let a couple in, he let a few really good chuckles in.

Belli wasn't surprised to see one of his more vulgar lines didn't make the cut.

"Ally, the Gaga character, was like, 'My boyfriend's not gonna like me with these one eyebrows.'

And I was like, 'That's what doggy is for.'

And I was like, 'That's definitely not gonna make it in the movie.'"

Cooper and the creative team were so jazzed on Pierce and Belli, they re-shaped the scene to give them more dialogue.

Pierce wasn't even going to audition, since the original casting breakdown called for a Marilyn Monroe impersonator.

"Honey, you know no matter how much time I spend, I'll never look spot on like Marilyn Monroe," said Pierce, who is African-American.

A request from Gaga, who knew Pierce from her 2013 "Applause" video, quickly changed his mind.

"I got an email from Lady Gaga's camp that said, 'Hey, LG heard' …

You know, Lady Gaga, 'Heard that you didn't come in for the audition and she really wanted to see you for this role.

She feels like you'd be a great fit in the film.'

So, honey, if LG asked, I found the nearest blonde wig and white dress and I hit it!"

Gaga has long been an ardent supporter of the LGBTQ community, and the love is mutual.

Pierce, who described himself as "a fan first and a co-star second," said he was pleased the film felt so inclusive.

"Not only just inclusive, but it's inclusive in a way that it's respectful and authentic.

"A Star Is Born" is currently in theaters nationwide.

# Amy Schumer to open for Madonna on Rebel Heart tour in New York

The comedian and actress tweeted that she will perform on three September dates of Madonna's Rebel Heart tour

Last modified on Wed 31 May 2017 11.58 EDT

Bringing humour to Madonna's Rebel Heart tour … Amy Schumer.

Madonna may have made her spoof-like standup comedy debut in April on the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Kimmel, but she could be leaving the jokes to a professional during the New York leg of her Rebel Heart tour in September.

Amy Schumer, of Comedy Central sketch show Inside Amy Schumer, has announced on Twitter that she is due to open for Madonna, on 16 September and 17 September at Madison Square Garden, and on 19 September at Brooklyn's Barclays Centre.

"Guess who auditioned for @Madonna and got the part?" she wrote, on 18 June.

Schumer posted the tweet with a snippet of what looks like a home video, in which she sings along to Madonna's Like A Virgin as a young girl.

Schumer was recently awarded a Peabody award for Inside Amy Schumer in May, and stars in Judd Apatow film Trainwreck, due out in the US and Australia in July, and in August in the UK.

I'm shaking w excitement that @AmySchumer is opening up for me in New York!

I hope people will stay after & watch my show!!

Madonna released the video for single Bitch I'm Madonna exclusively on Tidal on 17 June, and elsewhere on 18 June.

Her North American Rebel Heart tour begins in Montreal on 9 September and runs until January 2016, with a diversion in November and December for a stretch of UK and European arena dates.

Tickets for the New York shows with Schumer are sold out online – though there are "official platinum seats" available on Ticketmaster, that would set you back between $380 (about £240) and $740 (about £466).

The third season premiered on April 21, 2015, with a fourth season ordered the same day.
 In 2014, Schumer embarked on her "Back Door Tour" to promote the second season of her show. The show was closed by Bridget Everett, whom Schumer cites as her favorite live performer. She also appeared as a guest on an episode of comedian Jerry Seinfeld's Internet series "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" in 2014.
 She hosted the 2015 MTV Movie Awards, which took place on April 11. Schumer wrote and played her first leading film role in "Trainwreck", co-starring Bill Hader, which was released on July 17, 2015.
 In August 2015, Jennifer Lawrence said she and Schumer planned to co-star in a film for which they and Schumer's sister Kim were co-writing a screenplay.

# Bengals Make Player Moves Before Week 17

The Bengals today placed WR Tyler Boyd, CB Dre Kirkpatrick and LB Jordan Evans on the Reserve/Injured list.

To fill their positions on the active roster, the team signed three players off the practice squad — HB Quinton Flowers, OT Kent Perkins and WR Hunter Sharp.

Boyd, a third-year player, started the team's first 14 games this season before suffering a knee injury in Game 14 vs. Oakland.

He has 76 receptions for 1028 yards (both team highs) and seven touchdowns.

Boyd's 1000-yard season was the first of his career and the 27th in team history.

Kirkpatrick, a seventh-year player who has started 13 games this season, suffered a shoulder injury last week at Cleveland.

He has 41 tackles (35 solos), and his nine passes defensed are second most on the team behind CB William Jackson (12).

Evans, a second-year player, has played in 14 games this season with five starts.

He suffered an ankle injury in Game 14 vs. Oakland.

Evans ranks fifth on team with 59 total tackles (38 solos).

He also has 1.5 sacks, one interception and three passes defensed, as well as two special teams tackles.

Flowers (5-10, 211), a rookie, joined the Bengals in May as a college free agent out of the University of South Florida.

After an exemplary career as a QB at USF, he converted to HB as a pro and has spent the entire season on the Bengals' practice squad.

Flowers set 42 school records at USF, including school and American Athletic Conference records for total offense (11,802 yards), and he finished his college career as one of only four players in FBS history to post at least 8000 passing yards and 3500 rushing yards.

Perkins (6-5, 305), a first-year player out of the University of Texas, was originally a college free agent signee of the Bengals in 2017.

After spending much of his rookie season on Cincinnati's practice squad, Perkins was signed to the active roster late in the year and played in the season finale at Baltimore, where he saw brief time on offense.

Perkins also has spent the entire 2018 season on the Bengals' practice squad.

Sharp (5-11, 198), a first-year player out of the University of Utah, joined the Bengals as a free agent on Nov. 20.

He entered the NFL as a college free agent signee of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2016, and has also spent time with Denver, the N.Y. Giants and Buffalo.

Sharp has played in three career games, with one start, and has five catches for 54 yards and a TD.

The Bengals announced the hiring of six assistants for the team's 2019 coaching staff.

# Top 10 Oldest Players in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

Let us see the top 10 oldest players in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

We will see their ages and discuss a little about their performances and skills.

Any good cricket team needs a healthy balance of youth and experience.

Cricket is not just a game of strength, skills, fitness, and intelligence, but also of temperament and character.

Most senior players which we will see in this article, bring with them almost all of these qualities.

They are the greatest assets to their teams.

They have the ability to uplift the team with just their sheer presence.

Also, they can skillfully rescue the team out from most of the difficult situations in the match.

Here are the top 10 oldest but most important players in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

Imran Tahir's age will be 40 years 64 days on May 30, 2019, i.e. on the first day of the World Cup 2019.

And that makes him the oldest player in the World Cup 2019.

Imran Tahir is a great inspiration to many, who has shown us that age and energy levels have no connection.

At the age of 40, Imran Tahir still carries the energy and enthusiasm of a teenager.

It is reflected not only in his bowling, fielding, and celebrations but also in his talking in the presentations and interviews.

He is always so full of life, optimism, and zeal.

I will be watching him closely in the ICC World Cup 2019 one final time.

As many of you know, he has already announced that he will retire after the World Cup.

## 2. Chris Gayle (WI)-39 years 251 days

It is really hard to imagine West Indies ODI team without the opening batsman Chris Gayle.

He has been serving the team and entertaining cricket fans all over the world for decades since his ODI debut in September 1999 against India.

He owns the universe of cricket like a boss.

He sends balls into the crowd's area just like NASA sends satellites into space.

Yes, he doesn't like to run singles or doubles, but why run, when you can hit and send the ball into the galaxy.

On May 30, 2019, he will be 39 years 251 days old.

The second oldest player in the ICC World Cup 2019.

## 3. Mohammad Hafeez (Pak)-38 years 224 days

Mohammad Hafeez made his Test and ODI debut in 2003 and since then he has made many memorable winning contributions to Pakistan's cricket team both with the bat and the ball.

He recently retired from Test cricket to focus on the ODIs and especially the ICC World Cup 2019.

On May 30, 2019, Hafeez will be exactly 38 years 224 days old.

Thus, he is third on our list of top 10 oldest players to play in ICC World Cup 2019.

Pakistan team certainly looks solid with experienced Hafeez in the side.

He is the James Bond 007 of the cricket world.

Smartest minds with some of the smartest plans, which are sometimes beyond the understanding of many.

Like James Bond, he stays in the match till the end and then finishes off in style in the climax.

And his brilliant plans and advice from behind the stumps are custom made for getting a particular batsman out.

The way he understands the weaknesses of different batsmen and formulates the tactics against them is just mind-blowing.

Also, he has set a new benchmark in the art and technique of great wicket-keeping.

On May 30, 2019, his age will be 37 years 309 days.

No doubt he is one of the most intelligent players, but what is more astonishing is that he is still one of the fittest and the quickest in the business.

To manage this top level of cricket at this age fills me with awe, wonder and immense respect for Thala (the leader)!

## 5. Shoaib Malik (Pak)-37 years 117 days

Shoaib Malik is a massive asset to the current Pakistan cricket team.

He is the former captain, a very reliable batsman who can bat in any position, and also a very good spin bowler with around 150+ wickets in the ODIs.

Malik brings with him his great tactical caliber, his experience, his amazing fitness and most importantly his ability to stay calm in all circumstances.

On May 30, 2019, his age will be 37 years 117 days and is fifth on our list of the oldest players in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

## 6. Jeevan Mendis (SL)-36 years 135 days

Sri Lanka has given a lot of good players who played way beyond the normal age of retirement and they were all good performers till the day of the retirement.

Muralitharan, Rangana Herath, and Sanath Jayasuriya are some of the names which immediately come to mind.

Jeevan Mendis is another senior Sri Lankan who is serving Sri Lanka effectively even at the age of 36+ years.

On May 30, he would be 36 years 135 days old.

Jeevan Mendis' participation in the World cup 2019 is a big surprise to me.

He last played ODI in 2015 and that too in the World Cup 2015.

Which cricketer plays World Cup to World Cup with no match in between?

Anyway, he is a good leg-spin option and a great left-handed batsman who can hit the ball out of the boundary with ease.

Sri Lanka will definitely benefit from his experience and all-rounder capabilities.

On May 30, 2019, Hashim Amla will be 36 years 60 days.

Hashim Amla has always been the most important pillar of the South African batting lineup.

He has an ODI average of almost 50, which is enough to give an idea about the class and skills of this man.

However, in recent matches, Hashim Amla has struggled to gather runs.

But we know, all players go through some bad phase at some point in their career.

And genius players always find a way to make a stronger comeback and shut up their critics once again.

I firmly believe Amla will come back in form in the mega tournament and help South Africa cruise forward in the World Cup 2019.

Stunning Steyn will be 35 years 337 days old on the first day of the World Cup 2019.

ICC Test Cricketer of the Year 2008 and Wisden Leading Cricketer of the Year 2013

, Steyn knows how to dominate the opposition batting by firing balls like bullets.

However, the only thing which has stopped him from complete domination is his own injuries.

He had earlier broken his right shoulder in a Test in Perth in 2016.

Due to which he had missed the ICC Champions trophy 2017 in England.

Later, when he recovered from that, he damaged his left heel in the first Test itself, against India in early 2018.

But he came back stronger and later in December 2018, he broke the record of South Africa's leading Test wicket-taker surpassing Shaun Pollock's 421 wicket record.

Recently he suffered from some shoulder inflammation in the few IPL games he played for RCB in 2019.

Hopefully, he will be fit and fine for the Cricket World Cup 2019 soon.

## 9. Shaun Marsh (Aus)-35 years 325 days

On May 30, 2019, Shaun Marsh will become 35 years 325 days old i.e. almost 36 years.

Shaun Marsh had a roller coaster career so far.

He had to get in and get out of the team a number of times.

After his debut in 2008, Marsh has played only 71 matches so far.

However, amidst all these ups and downs, he has been able to maintain a nice batting average of 41+.

Also, in the past 12 months, he did bat responsibly and helped Australia in many important matches.

These innings were important since Steve Smith and David Warner were not in the team to share the batting responsibilities.

With Steve Smith and David Warner back in the squad, and Shaun being in good touch, Team Australia once again is looking strong and balanced.

Thus, Australia seems to be a major contender for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

## 10. Lasith Malinga (SL)-35 years 275 days

Lasith Malinga is the 10th person on our list of the oldest players to play the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

When in IPL 2018, I saw Lasith Malinga being the bowling mentor for Mumbai Indians, I thought he may retire from the Sri Lanka ODI team soon.

But surprisingly, he was back as one of the main bowlers for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2019.

In the IPL 2019 final, Lasith bowled the last winning ball and helped Mumbai Indians to win the IPL 2019 title, in a thrilling last ball finish.

On May 30, 2019, Malinga will be 35 years 275 years old.

I am very excited to see experienced Lasith Malinga once again lead the Sri Lanka bowling attack in the ICC World cup 2019.

Other players and their age as on May 30, 2019:

11. Mashrafe Mortaza, the captain of Bangladesh Team (35 years 237 days)

12. Ross Taylor from New Zealand (35 years 82 days)

13. JP Duminy from South Africa (35 years 45 days)

14. Faf Du Plessis, the South Africa Team captain (34 years 320 days)

15. Mohd. Nabi, former Afghanistan Team captain (34 years 148 days)

16. Kedar Jadhav from India (34 years 64 days)

17. Liam Plunkett from England (34 years 53 days)

Thus we saw the names, ages, and details of the top 10 oldest players in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

Looking at these big names and the things they can do, I certainly feel age is just a number.

Cause these players can perform many times better than most other young members in their squads.

This might be the last World cup for these big names.

It will be their last chance to compete in the biggest cricket tournament in the world.

And it is our last chance to see them play with utmost dedication and determination for winning the World Cup for their country.

(meta data) TITLE: Ralph Nader Got The Most Write-In Votes For President Ever, But Election Write-Ins Have A Long History

# Ralph Nader Got The Most Write-In Votes For President Ever, But Election Write-Ins Have A Long History

As we inch closer to the conclusion of a rather spectacular election cycle, Americans are beginning to solidify their choices for the next President of the United States.

Although most will vote for a major party candidate, some dissatisfied voters are turning to writing in their decision — which brings up an interesting question: Who has received the most write-in votes for president in history?

2016 isn't the first time the public has been interested in choices beyond the ballot — and in fact, it hasn't actually been that long since the last major write-in campaign.

Write-ins often serve as a source of hilarity once the votes have been tallied; rather than choosing from the names on the ballot, disappointed Americans have voted for candidates ranging from Leslie Knope to "my cat Ginger."

In 2012, one particularly inspired citizen wrote in Neil deGrass Tyson as their pick for president and Bill Nye as vice president.

That being said, write-ins can be meant seriously, even if their chances of actual election are slim to none; what's more, it looks like a substantial number of Americans are considering choosing their own candidate in the upcoming election on Nov. 8.

According to CNN, Google searches for "write in" skyrocketed last week by more than 2,800 percent — the highest it's been since George W. Bush ran against John Kerry in 2004.

So who has managed to garner write-in votes despite not actually appearing on the ballot?

Unfortunately, there's no way to tell for sure; as the Federal Election Committee points out, some states don't disclose the names of the write-in candidates.

However, the most likely answer probably won't surprise you: In all probability, it's famous independent politician Ralph Nader during the 1996 election.

In 1996, four years after Nader ran a write-in presidential campaign, the then-fledgling Green Party nominated Nader as their presidential candidate, running against Bill Clinton and Bob Dole.

Nader initially accepted the nomination, but he later declined and went back to running his own independent campaign.

He only made it onto the ballot in 22 states, but he ultimately received more than 685,000 popular votes.

In subsequent elections, Nader became the official Green Party nominee, but he still frequently relies on write-in registration in states where he doesn't appear on the ballot.

Conservative politician Ron Paul is another popular write-in candidate.

According to his own website, he received just over 17,000 write-in votes in California in 2008.

In 2012, many speculated that Paul siphoned away some of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's vote, either by causing disenfranchised voters to stay home or possibly by writing in a vote for Paul.

Then there's the true American hero who has appeared in presidential elections for decades: Mickey Mouse.

Seriously — the first vote for the famous cartoon mouse was cast in the New York mayoral race in 1932, and he's been a figure in American elections ever since.

Now that's a politician we can all get behind.

The 2016 United States presidential election in Vermont was held on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Vermont voters chose three electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting the Republican Party's nominee, businessman Donald Trump, and running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, and Independent write-in candidate, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
 Hillary Clinton easily won Vermont, regarded as one of the most progressive states in the country, with 56.7% of the vote, although her margin was reduced by 8.34 percentage points from outgoing President Barack Obama in 2012. Donald Trump received 29.3% of the vote and won only Essex County–the most rural and sparsely populated county in the state. He was the first Republican presidential candidate to win a county in Vermont since George W. Bush in 2004. Bernie Sanders received 5.7% of the vote.
 Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson, received 3.1%, and Green Party nominee Jill Stein received 2.1%.

On January 24, at the University of the Ryukyus campus in Nishihara, Seok-Kyu Ko (left) the president of the Mokpo National University, shakes hands with Teruo Iwamasa, the president of the University of the Ryukyus, after signing the agreements.

On January 24, the Mokpo National University of Korea and the University of the Ryukyus concluded academic exchange and cooperation agreements at the University of the Ryukyus campus in Nishihara.

These agreements encourage both universities to exchange researchers and students, as well as to carry out joint research projects.

The two universities have interacted in the past.

On August 31, 2011, an exchange program started between the Mokpo National University Institute for Marine and Island Cultures and the International Institute for Okinawan Studies at the University of the Ryukyus.

They will seek to promote cooperation for further academic research.

After the signing of the agreements, Teruo Iwamasa, the president of the University of the Ryukyus, commented, "We are looking forward to seeing more exchange between Okinawa and Korea."

Seok-Kyu Ko, the president of Mokpo National University, said, "We want to make this opportunity worthwhile for both parties through active exchange between students and researchers."

Some doctors do not have the required accreditation and pose a hazard to the general public by prescribing the wrong medication or performing unsuccessful surgeries resulting in unnecessary deaths.

(meta data) TITLE: Albania Health Insurance - Pacific Prime

International medical insurance for those living or working in Albania.

Customized Albania health insurance plans and quotes available.

Albania lies on the Adriatic and Ionian coast, North of Greece, South of Montenegro, West of Macedonia and across the water from Italy.

It is part of the area of Eastern Europe called the Balkans.

Albania has an area of 28,748 square kilometers.

The capital, Tiranë, also known as Tirana, is situated in the West central part of the country near the Adriatic Sea.

Albania has a variety of climatic conditions, being situated in the transition zone between the typical Mediterranean climate in the West and the moderate continental climate in the East.

The average annual temperature is 15° C (59° F).

Rainy winters (with frequent storms) and dry, hot summers are typical of the coastal plain.

Summer rainfall is more frequent and winters are colder in the mountainous interior.

Albania is a varied destination offering many pleasures, including friendly people, fascinating Ottoman cities with rich histories, magnificent mountain scenery and charming villages.

The healthcare system in Albania is mainly public, while private practice is limited to a small niche market sector.

The Albanian law guarantees equal access to healthcare for all citizens.

Public healthcare in Albania is the major provider of health services, health promotion, prevention, diagnosis and treatments for the population of Albania.

Primarily, the Government of Albania funds the State healthcare system.

Other sources of funding include contributions from eligible employers, employees and the self-employed, a certain percentage of their wages or income are deducted and contributed to the insurance scheme.

However, poverty in Albania is rather common, and only a few people can afford to make such contributions.

As a result, many residents/citizens fail to receive the required medical care and medicines for their illnesses.

The failure to collect a substantial amount of contributions means that healthcare system in Albania is strongly reliant on charitable aid for medical supplies and drugs.

The private healthcare sector in Albania is still developing, and it covers most of the pharmaceutical and dental services as well as some clinics for specialised diagnoses, mainly being situated in Tirana.

State insurance does not cover medical costs incurred in the private sector, as a result, they are only accessible to people who can afford to pay for them.

In Albania, doctors and hospitals expect payment in cash at the time of service.

The Ministry of Health and Environmental Protection oversee the health service.

It takes the leading role in the public sector; it is the developer and regulator of the country's health strategies and policies, as well as the coordinating entity of all participants both inside and outside the public system.

The Albanian State healthcare system is divided into three tiers of service, namely:-

i) Primary health care - includes health and hygiene centres, health education centres, maternity and paediatric clinics, local emergency rooms and rural hospitals.

ii) Secondary care - consists of medical and diagnostic services in hospitals and polyclinics.

iii) Tertiary care - consists of scientific research medicine including four national university centres with diagnostic services.

Hospitals in Albania are located mainly in urban areas like Tiranë and Durrës, however, the bulk of the country's population live in the countryside, and there are not enough health centres to support everyone, creating an imbalance in the medical system in providing healthcare for this population.

Under the public healthcare system in Albania, patients have a choice to register with their preferred doctor.

In order to visit any specialist doctors or consultants, patients are required to receive a referral from their General Practioners (GP).

Unfortunately, most of the GPs in the country lack a proper level of training.

This has resulted in patients' lack of confidence in the skills of GPs and very often patients will bypass GPs and go directly to a specialist.

The Ministry of Health has tried to put a stop to this by restoring the old system of GP referrals by introducing fees to prevent people from avoiding their GP.

However, this move has achieved few results.

Specialists actually exacerbate the problem by encouraging patients to apply directly to them.

The reason for such behaviour is that consultants rely heavily on under-the-table payments to increase their income.

Corruption is an unfortunate fact of life in Albania and it is a hard and difficult process to resolve the problem, especially in healthcare, over the short term.

In summary, Albania remains one the poorest countries in Europe, with a sluggish economy and high unemployment rates.

Albania spends around 6.1% of GDP on healthcare.

Medical facilities in Albania are poor and there is a lack of specialists, medical equipment and pharmaceuticals.

Moreover, hygiene standards are lower than the rest of Europe.

The Albanian healthcare system is rigidly structured and centralised and has difficulty in meeting the medical needs for all its citizens.

Doctors and nurses are often cut off from new techniques and developments in medicine; the system is subsequently finding it hard to cope with modern day health issues like drug abuse, AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases.

Pacific Prime is a one-stop insurance brokerage service provider for you when travelling to Albania.

Patients must choose a primary care physician with whom they register. Basic supplies lack in public hospitals and doctors tend to refer patients to either their private practice or to nearby pharmacies. They have also become the targets of assaults from frustrated patients who are confronted with their lack of accountability and rampant corruption. Specialists encourage patients to go to them directly, rather than by a referral, because they want underhand payments.


The fans consider themselves fiercely left-wing, and frequently the fans cultivate the club's Jewish traditions as well as actions against antisemitism, racism and homophobia.

(meta data) TITLE: Tennis Borussia Berlin e.V.

With the chant "God Save TeBe", which has become a regular on the TeBe terraces, the fans display their unshakeable love for TeBe.

In the dark but recent past, when it looked as though only divine intervention could save TeBe, this chant became more like a prayer for the long-suffering TeBe fans.

Clearly the footballing gods were convinced...

A good hundred years ago, when TeBe was formed near Hackscher Markt by twelve sport enthusiasts, the chants were surely quite different.

Their emotions and attitudes towards this unique club, however, were not very much different from those of today's fans, and it was through this enthusiasm that TeBe became one of the big players in Berlin football.

Over the following decade, there were numerous legendary matches as TeBe battled it out with Hertha BSC for supremacy in Berlin.

Many famous names were part of this era: Hanne Sobeck for Hertha, and Hanne Berndt, Fritz Wilde, Sepp Herberger for the Veilchen, to name but a few.

Hertha had their noses in front at certain points, but TeBe certainly gave as good as they got, particularly in the TeBe "Golden Era", the 1950s.

However when the Bundesliga was formed, TeBe had weakened both on and off the pitch, allowing Hertha to be Berlin's representative in the new league.

Since then, TeBe have never managed to break Hertha's supremacy in Berlin.

And so, TeBe fans from any era have something in common – the fighting spirit, the regrouping after failure.

For many years the team was a major player in German football, regularly qualifying for the later stages of competitions, although never usually progressing further than the quarterfinals.

There were two promotions to the Bundesliga, unfortunately both were followed by immediate relegations.

The promotion playoffs for the second Bundesliga were also regularly a source of misery for Veilchen fans, almost all of whom have shed countless tears from the team as, again and again, their dreams are shattered.

But despite these disappointments there are many who will simply not abandon the team.

Even after the disaster in the late 1990s, when the club created negative headlines due to their involvement with a certain investor and subsequently found themselves in the fourth division for the first time in their history, many fans remained faithful to their team.

This is very notable in a success-orientated metropolis like Berlin.

So what is it that makes this indefatigable spirit?

Why is it still flourishing, even in new converts to the TeBe religion?

Why are there always more fans, from Neukölln, Friedrichshain, Marzahn, Schöneberg and Prenzlauer Berg, and even a couple of "nutters"from Bremen or Hamburg, coming to the Mommsenstadion to see fifth league football, especially when there are many other higher level teams to watch?

What is so special about Tennis Borussia?

The reasons for this level of loyalty are just as varied and colourful as the TeBe fan scene.

One, however, all can agree on: after the bad feeling created in the 1990s, the team is once more united, just like it was in the 1970s when the levels of support for the team amongst Berliners was at its highest and there were idols like Benny Wendt for the fans to idolise.

The "Ping-Pong-Veterans", a TeBe fanclub who were at their largest in the 1970s, have the motto "Seele – Wärme – Inbrunst" (Soul, Warmth, Fervour).

Nothing sums up the TeBe spirit better than that.

After a dry patch in the 1980s, the fan scene began to recover in the 1990s in very difficult circumstances.

The fans found themselves in almost constant opposition to the then sponsor, Göttinger, feeling that their interest in the club as a football team was lacking.

Nowadays, there is very close contact between the fans and the club administration, and the fans take an active role in the running of the club, for example, through the production of the match day programme.

Instead of the bloated and ostentatious match day entertainment of previous years, music chosen by the fans is played, music that is not to be heard at any other stadium.

These days, the motto of the Mommsenstadion is "Football, Friends, Rock'n'Roll".

Also part of the TeBe spirit is the continued appreciation of Jewish traditions and active opposition to anti-Semitism, racism and homophoby, and in this area the fans are fully supported by the club.

In 2001, the fans suggested the addition of anti-discrimination paragraph to the club's Articles of Association, which was subsequently added without a single dissenting voice.

Since right-wing radicals are still active in certain areas of Berlin, TeBe fans are proud of their stance in opposition to such groups.

TeBe is also very active in youth development (often recognised as one of the best in Berlin), where large emphasis is put on encouraging tolerance and global awareness.

Little wonder, then, that youths and children from all nationalities and religions are attracted to TeBe.

One day one of them will make it into the first team, and then they will be able to hear the famous "God Save TeBe" being enthusiastically sung from the terraces.

The fan movement started in the 1980s when TeBe began having its biggest successes. Despite their fall down the leagues the club still enjoys a relatively strong support.

On October 17, 2018, one year after Downie's death, a previously unreleased studio recording of the song "Wait So Long" was played on K-Rock, a radio station in the band's hometown of Kingston.

# Hear Previously Unreleased Tragically Hip Song 'Wait So Long'

On Wednesday, October 17, 2018, as the country remembered Gord Downie following the one year anniversary of his passing, we played a song from a special package that was delivered earlier in the month.

Sideshow had received a package with no sender information and really no information outside of a note and CD saying it contained never-before-heard Tragically Hip Material.

We played the song 'Wait So Long' a couple of times on the 17th as a part of Gord FM.

You won't find that audio here, but there is a live recording you can find below.

The song is also listed on the Hip's official list of 61 unreleased songs.

Since Gord Downie's passing, the band has said that they have recorded material they plan to share.

Guitarist Rob Baker told the Toronto Star that at the time of Downie's passing, the band was in the middle of recording an album and that they have a "double album's worth of unreleased material."

History.:2018–present: Activity following Downie's death.

He stated "When I say The Tragically Hip doesn't exist as a performing unit anymore because a key member is gone, I think [fans] understand that. We wouldn't be The Hip without Gord [...] The Hip has played their last note." Baker also revealed that Downie had encouraged the group to audition replacement vocalists, but the other members did not seriously consider the idea. With the legalization of marijuana in Canada, the remaining band members became investment partners in Newstrike, a cannabis company which has named several of its products after Tragically Hip songs.
 In a July 2018 interview with the "Toronto Sun", Baker confirmed that at least three albums' worth of unreleased material was recorded with Downie before his death, but stated that the band had yet to decide how it would be released.
 On October 11, 2018, six days before the one-year anniversary of Downie's death, Fay and Baker joined Choir! Choir! Choir! at Yonge-Dundas Square for a live performance of the Tragically Hip's "Grace, Too".


After being held without a sack in the first two weeks, he collected three sacks and eight combined tackles in the Week 3 27-22 defeat against the New York Giants, his first sacks since Week 2 of 2016.

On Sunday, J.J. Watt ended his sack drought with three sacks in the Texans 27-22 loss to the New York Giants.

The three-time AP Defensive Player of the Year also added four tackles for loss, four quarterback hits and one forced fumble in a historic performance.

#Texans DE @JJWatt became the 1st player in NFL history with at least 8 total tackles, 3.0 sacks, 4 tackles for loss, 4 quarterback hits & 1 forced fumble in 2 career games (Wk 15 of 2012 vs. IND).

"I said I've been knocking the rust off since the first half of the first game, and it's been going little by little," Watt said.

"Obviously, hopefully continues that way.

It's good to finally end such a long drought, and do it in that type of way.

But like I said, personal stats don't matter at all in a loss."

The star defensive end, coming off back-to-back seasons cut short by injury, picked up his first sack of 2018 when he brought down Eli Manning in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Watt's strip sack resulted in a loss of six yards on third down for New York.

Watt, who had not recorded a sack since Week 2 of 2016 against Kansas City, also recorded five tackles (two solo), two quarterback hits and one forced fumble before halftime.

"He did a great job, and I think he was banged up during the game," head coach Bill O'Brien said.

He got the crowd going and he was – like I said since the beginning when he came back this year, he's been playing at a high level."

Watt sacked Manning for a loss of 10 yards in the third quarter and again for a loss of nine yards in the fourth quarter for his third sack of the game.

Sunday's performance was Watt's first multi-sack game since Week 17 of the 2015 season (3.0 vs. Jacksonville).

Since entering the league in 2011, Watt leads the NFL in multi-sack games (22), quarterback hits (225) and tackles for loss (142) through 91 games played.

"The Simpsons and Philosophy: The D'oh! of Homer", which is not an official publication, includes a chapter analyzing Bart's character and comparing him to the "Nietzschean ideal".

# Word for Word/Deconstructing 'The Simpsons'; The Aristotelian Logic of Bart And Homer.

WHEN Fox Television and Matt Groening first introduced America to Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie and Santa's Little Helper on Dec. 17, 1989, few would have imagined the impact this lovably dysfunctional family from Springfield would have on popular culture.

''The Simpsons,'' with its clever writing and satirical attacks, has not only changed the way Americans view cartoons, but also the way they speak: the Oxford English Dictionary this year even added Homer's catch phrase ''D'oh'' (''expressing frustration at the realization that things have turned out badly or not as planned, or that one has just said or done something foolish'').

So it's no surprise that academia has turned its gaze to the phenomenon.

A new collection of essays called ''The Simpsons and Philosophy: The D'oh! of Homer'' (Open Court), edited by William Irwin, Mark T. Conard and Aeon J. Skoble, dissects the show's many cultural and political messages -- both liminal and subliminal.

Judge for yourself from the following excerpts.

Let's start with a look at the family patriarch, the subject of ''Homer and Aristotle,'' by Raja Halwani, assistant professor of philosophy at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago:

While he is not a paradigm of virtue, he certainly is not malicious.

The harshest reaction we can have towards him is pity.

There are at least two reasons for this.

The first reason is that Homer's upbringing leaves much to be desired.

To begin with, he grew up mostly in Springfield, a town whose inhabitants -- with the rare exception of Lisa -- have serious and severe character flaws, ranging from stupidity to malice, to being simply incompetent and clueless in the ways of the world (even Marge, who is a good candidate for being another exception to the inhabitants of Springfield, is very conventional and often lacks critical abilities). . . .

The second reason why our judgment of Homer's character is not harsh, even though he is not virtuous, is that he is not generally a malicious person.

He is selfish, he is a glutton, he is greedy and he can be quite dumb, but he is rarely one of those people who are envious of others and who wish them ill will.

It is true that he often acts with deliberate intent to harm some people, but we think that these people somehow are not worthy of better treatment.

Homer's wife isn't too shabby either, according to Gerald J. Erion of Medaille College in Buffalo and Joseph A. Zeccardi in an essay titled ''Marge's Moral Motivation'':

Marge typically follows the Aristotelian recipe for a happy, moral life, and with great success.

The good to which she looks in making her decisions (moral or otherwise) is the good of her family, and therefore herself.

She makes these decisions not because she hopes that they will be reciprocated, but because they are reciprocated by their very nature; what is good for them is good for her.

In Marge, we see that Aristotle's moral virtues can be successfully applied not just in the abstract, ivory towers of academia, but in the real, workaday cartoon world.

In ''Lisa and American Anti-Intellectualism,'' Aeon J. Skoble, visiting assistant professor of philosophy at the United States Military Academy at West Point, unravels the mixed messages of the Simpson's precocious older daughter:

American anti-intellectualism . . . is pervasive but not all encompassing.

As it does with many other aspects of modern society, ''The Simpsons'' often uses this theme as fodder for its satire.

In the Simpson family, only Lisa could really be described as an intellectual.

But her portrayal as such is not unequivocally flattering.

In contrast to her relentlessly ignorant father, she is often shown having the right answer to a problem or a more perceptive analysis of a situation. . . .

Although her wisdom is sometimes presented as valuable, other times it is presented as a case of being sanctimonious or condescending.

In Lisa's challenge to Springfield, the show calls attention to the cultural limitations of small-town America, but it also reminds us that intellectual disdain for the common man can be carried too far and that theory can all to easily lose touch with common sense.

Even the family's infant daughter comes up for scrutiny, in ''Why Maggie Matters: Sounds of Silence, East and West,'' by Eric Bronson of Berkeley College in New York City:

The infant, still too young to walk, protected her lollipop from falling into groping miserly hands.

After all, the gun did belong to Mr. Burns and only ended up in Maggie's hands due to his own carelessness.

Still, the two-part episode ends on an interrogative note.

Just what were the intentions of this young and seemingly innocent girl?

Could she knowingly commit such a crime?

The answers, or lack thereof, are less than comforting.

The camera zooms in on Maggie's mouth, her pacifier blocking any articulation or explanation as the credits begin to roll.

It seems as though we'll never know why Maggie shot the most powerful man in Springfield.

We'll never get the answers we want, unless of course, her stunted speech is actually all the answer we need. . . .

In ''Lisa's Wedding,'' Lisa glimpses into her future with the help of a carnival soothsayer.

She is about to be married to the man of her dreams, and at the wedding, Maggie, the grown teenager with the beautiful voice, is set to sing.

Just as she takes her first deep breath, however, Lisa calls off the wedding and Maggie symbolically closes her mouth.

Once again, family turmoil has drowned out her voice.

In a world of growing bureaucracy and information overload, we too run the danger of having our voices drowned out.

In the modern world, the great challenge of both the East and the West is figuring out how to critically respect each other's projects in a way that encourages all voices to be heard.

More than tolerant, we must be attentive.

Otherwise, more people, like Maggie Simpson, will feel left out of society and turn to more destructive means of communication.

Finally, there's Bart, who depending on one's point of view is either a superbrat or a Nietzschean superman.

From ''Thus Spake Bart: On Nietzsche and the Virtues of Being Bad,'' by Mark T. Conard:

You know the stories: he cut the head off the statue of Jebediah Springfield; he burned down the family Christmas tree; he shoplifted a copy of ''Bone storm''; he cheated on an I.Q. test and got himself placed in a genius school; he fooled the town into thinking there was a little boy trapped down a well, etc., etc., etc.

Bart Simpson isn't some lovable little scamp who always seems to find himself in trouble; he isn't a rebel with a heart of gold.

He's a wisecracking delinquent, a bad boy in bright blue pants, a spoiler, one of Satan's minions -- if you believe in that sort of thing.

You probably think it's his sister, Lisa, who's the virtuous one.

She's bright, talented, very logical, rational, sensitive.

She has principles: she fights injustice as she sees it; she's a vegetarian because she believes in animal rights; she stands up against greedy Mr. Burns's excesses; and she has love and compassion for her friends and family, and indeed for all those who are less fortunate

You'd probably say that she is the only admirable character on the show.

Well, let me tell you about another bad boy, the bad boy of philosophy (what -- you didn't think philosophy had bad boys?).

His name was Friedrich Nietzsche, and -- philosophically -- he's as bad as they come, honey.

He too was a kind of wisecracking philosophical delinquent.

-- hell, he wrote a book called ''The Antichrist''!

He seemed to hate everything, every ideal that most people love and hold dear to themselves -- more, he would tear down those ideals by cleverly showing how they were interconnected with things that those same people hate.

He rebuked religion, he laughed at pity.

He called Socrates a buffoon who got himself taken seriously. . . .

Now, while Nietzsche rejected and even laughed at the traditional ideal, the so-called ''good person,'' the compassionate, religiously virtuous person, he forged something of his own ideal: the free spirit; the person who rejects traditional morality, traditional virtues; the person who embraces the chaos of the world and gives style to his character.

Could it be that from a Nietzschean perspective we've been admiring the wrong character?

Might Lisa Simpson be part of what Nietzsche calls world-slandering weariness, decadence, slave morality, resentment?

Sure, it's fun to be bad, but might there be something healthy and life-affirming, something philosophically important about it?

Could Bart Simpson be, in the end, the Nietzschean ideal?

(meta data) TITLE: An interview with Jonathan Kemp about his debut novel London Triptych

You are here: Polari Magazine / Interviews / An interview with Jonathan Kemp

304 pages • Myriad Editions • August 19, 2010

One of the first things that strikes me on meeting Jonathan Kemp the person is also one of the first things that struck me on reading Jonathan Kemp the writer.

There is a deceptively relaxed quality to his writing that is disarming, bewitching and, to be honest, more than a little sexy.

I was pulled instantly into the three distinct stories, the three similar worlds, of London Triptych.

There is the London of the 1890s, and the rent boy Jack Rose; the London of the late 1990s, and the male escort David; and the London of the 1950s, and the painter Colin Read.

The three stories explore a subculture and an underworld that is hidden from the everyday, yet whilst they are historically and socially distinct tales each one echoes a universal experience.

As a writer, Jonathan is somewhat akin to the Pied Piper if only because there is something magical you cannot help but follow.

Talking to him about the book, and about the act of writing, I have precisely the same feeling about the person.

Jonathan teaches Creative Writing and Comparative Literature at Birkbeck, and London Triptych is his first novel.

"I attempted to get two early novels out in the '90s," he tells me.

"I moved to London with the intention of taking the world by storm, as all writers do.

The first novel I wrote I sent to only one publisher who didn't take it.

Rather than being thick-skinned and persisting I put it in a drawer and started on another one.

And that one was almost published by a company that went under.

The second they were going to bring it out they went bankrupt.

It was a very small press called Paper Drum.

It was rejected by Serpent's Tail so again I didn't persist.

"At that time I got waylaid as I was living with an actor.

From about '94 to '98 we ran a theatre company.

The plays were performed in little venues.

We did the same play in the basement at Central Station.

It just got bigger and bigger and after three one-man shows we did a two-hander, and then the next three or four plays had a cast of about five people in them.

Ultimately none of us were making any money so it fizzled out.

I also started this book, and it went through different manifestations."

London Triptych started out as a short story called 'Pornocracy', which told the tale of Jack Rose, one of the boys who testified against Oscar Wilde in 1895.

I asked how that story then developed into a novel.

Wilde has fascinated me ever since I discovered him as a teenager.

But there is little known or written about the boys.

I thought it would be interesting to reverse the story and make Wilde a bit player in Jack's life.

When I finished the story I started to think about how it could become a novel by having three narrators and exploring three areas of gay history.

It made sense to have one story in the '50s because that was characteristically a period of great secrecy in which you were risking everything.

There was constant harassment from the police, and potential imprisonment.

I wanted the character of Colin to be an artist because of the themes of representation in the book, and the link with the painter in The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Then it made sense to jump forward another fifty years.

It was only later that I thought of linking the stories."

London Triptych is such a confident, assured book in which the three stories follow clear and comparable paths that I found this surprising.

Yet the confidence has to come from the writer first.

This is something that, as a teacher, Jonathan tries to impress on his students.

"When things occurred I knew which character was speaking to me," he says of the process in which the book was pieced together.

I often say to my students that if you stumble across an interesting character you should stick with them and listen to them.

It sounds crazy, because the idea of the author as a god who is constructing things is a dominant one, but I think it helps to be passive in relation to characters and stories and let the things come to us rather than actively fixing it all together.

Throughout London Triptych the painter Colin is building toward his first major work, his own London Triptych.

It feels so right when his story comes together and this painting is revealed that I ask Jonathan if he always had this conclusion in mind.

The book was originally going to be called Feasting with Panthers, which is a phrase that Wilde used about the boys he used to hang out with.

And I still have a reference to that at the end.

My agent didn't like the title, and when I did a search I found that there were two books in the last ten years that had that title.

I wanted London in there, and the title triptych reflected the three stories, so I decided at the last minute to have Colin working on his own triptych."

This may sound like an accident, and yet it is far more like evolution by natural selection.

It is one of the reasons that the book is so immediate, and the narrative so genuine.

This is almost the opposite of what I expected when I first read the blurb.

Isn't this ground so well trodden as to have become sodden marshland?

I only read on because the writer Clayton Littlewood recommended it and I trust his judgement.

All that said, I had put these questions on hold by the end of the first page, and dismissed them altogether by the end of the first instalment from each of the three narrators.

I was not alone in my reaction to this disarming, bewitching quality to the writing.

The book had generated such a buzz within weeks of its publication that Gay's the Word bookshop had to fit in two readings on an evening when one was originally scheduled.

I talked about the book to the manager, Jim McSweeney, and we agreed that it was the best gay fiction we'd read since Neil Bartlett's Skin Lane.

London Triptych is on the shortlist for The Green Carnation Prize, an award for gay men's fiction and memoir that, coincidentally, also makes its debut this year.

And that circles back to Oscar Wilde again.

The green carnation was a secret signal to others of a similar persuasion and the title of an 1894 novel in which Wilde appeared thinly disguised.

As someone who finds The Picture of Doran Gray overrated, and Wilde generally quite tiresome, I ask Jonathan what it is about the man and his work that continues to fascinate educated gay men.

"I think that what Wilde represents, or came to represent, was the model of modern homosexuality," he begins.

"I think the hold he has is that we see someone in the middle of what is characteristically a rather dull and conformist age, the Victorian age, deliberately being against the norm in a very brave way.

In a similar way to Crisp we see him as a pioneer.

As gay men we like the idea of self-invention.

How many of us have moved to the city and reinvented ourselves according to how we would like to be?

I think Wilde is our glorious leader in that sense."

Then it is more his life than his writing?

Famously he said I put my talent into my writing and my genius into my life.

The writing is sublime and it is pitching itself against the norm.

Everyone else was writing heavy, verbose works, and he wrote slim books that were ornate and poetical and refused to be sucked into the realist machinery of Victorian fiction."

Then he adds, "Of course, he was gloriously funny, which goes a long way."

I remain unconvinced about Wilde, whom I find to be too much about the shiny surface, too much about the art of deflection.

And so I return the idea of the writer listening to the voices of the characters if only because I was taken with how Jack's voice stands clear and honest against Wilde's self-important monologues.

It is a loaded question, consequently, but I ask Jonathan if he has a favourite of the three voices.

"It's hard to say because I became really fond of all three of them.

It's interesting to hear which characters other people like.

There are some who really can't stand Jack and others who think he is the most adorable.

A friend of mine didn't like Jack because of what he did to Wilde.

I liked Jack because it was refreshing and liberating to write in a voice that pre-exists all the moral and psychological and social structures that pen in desire in the 20th century.

He comes from a class that is just going to do and he finds a way of doing.

And it's arguably his proximity to Wilde that corrupts him, and makes him reflective, and that reflection makes him do what he did."

In the midst of all the ideas, and the emotional life of the characters in London Triptych, is a fair amount of sex.

"It was very important to me that it was if not sexy then at least sexual.

And sexual in a very different way, one that wasn't necessarily pornographic.

We compartmentalise genres so easily, so problematically, and I think it's a shame."

He pauses and then adds, "Anyway, you can't have a novel about male prostitution and not have sex in it.

It was important to get it right and I was concerned about it because either it would be totally unpublishable or it would be pigeon-holed as 'that dirty book'."

London Triptych is one of those rare cases in which that balance works and does not feel spurious or forced.

It is sexy rather than just having sex in it.

For the reading at Gay's the Word, Jonathan chose one segment from each narrative.

For Jack he read a graphic scene in which Wilde takes him to an orgy.

It is, of course, nothing less than Dionysian.

When we're talking about this element of the book he says, laughing, "I'm waiting for someone to say, 'I had the best wank when I was reading your book'."

There is something of a mischievous turn to the conversation at this point, and as we are talking about the character David, Jonathan adds that no one has yet asked what he thought they'd ask about him.

"Whether his story is autobiographical, whether I'd dabbled in prostitution."

"I have an answer prepared," he says with a smile.
