MARTIN: So the president's going to need Congress toby Hamasaki's trip to New York City to record the songs and film their respective music videos. An organ Hamasaki heard while visiting a church inspired her to include the gospel choir in "Bold", while the musical The Phantom of the Opera influenced her arrangement of "Pride". "Criminal", "Step You", "Alterna", and the titular "(Miss)understood" are all rock songs with prominent electric guitars, while "Heaven" is an "ethereal" piano-driven ballad. As with "Bold & Delicious" and "Pride", other songs composed by GEO were rearranged; violins were added to the bridge of "Rainy Day", and a choir was added to the chorus of "Beautiful Day".

As we see below President Trump went on a rant on Sen. John McCain over his betrayal of pushing the fake Russian Dossier to DOJ and FBI chiefs in order to give it allegedly bi-partisan support.

Former senior FBI counterintelligence chief Bill Priestap confirmed he received a copy of the first 33 pages of the dossier in December 2016 from McCain, according to a report on Fox News. However, according to POTUS tweet, McCain was circulating the dossier in Oct. 2016 to media outlets. Think BuzzFeed and Washington Post.

Harris Wofford, a Democratic senator from Pennsylvania, university president and lifelong crusader for civil rights who made a crucial contribution to John F. Kennedy's slender victory in the 1960 presidential contest, died Jan. 21 at a hospital in Washington. He was 92.

The cause was complications from a fall, said his son, Daniel Wofford.

The scion of a wealthy business family, Wofford attracted national media attention as a teenager during World War II. He helped launch the Student Federalists group, an organization that sought to unite the world's democracies in a battle against fascism and to keep the postwar peace.

Wofford served stateside in the Army Air Forces and went on to become one of the first white students to graduate from the historically black Howard University law school in Washington.He was an early supporter of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and marched alongside him in the civil and voting rights flashpoint of Selma, Alabama. Robert F. Kennedy, the president's brother who served as U.S. attorney general, once referred to Wofford as a "slight madman" in his zeal for advancing civil rights.

Wofford went on to a wide-ranging career, serving as John F. Kennedy's special assistant for civil rights, helping Kennedy in-law Sargent Shriver launch the Peace Corps and heading two colleges, including Bryn Mawr women's college in Pennsylvania.

In 1991, he defeated a giant of Pennsylvania politics — former Republican Gov. and U.S. Attorney General Dick Thornburgh — to become the state's first Democratic senator in more than 20 years.

In Philadelphia in 2008, he introduced then-Sen. Barack Obama,


D-Ill., before the stirring "A More Perfect Union" speech on race relations during the presidential race that would propel Obama to the White House.

In 2016, Wofford described the merging of his personal and political ideals in an essay published in The New York Times, "Finding Love Again, This Time With a Man."

Wofford, by then a widower, described how he met Matthew Charlton, an interior designer 50 years his junior, and the two became a couple. The essay ended with Mr. Wofford's announcement that he and Charlton would soon exchange marriage vows. They wed that year.

The courtly, professorial nonagenarian said he did not consider himself gay. "Too often, our society seeks to label people by pinning them on the wall — straight, gay or in between," he wrote. "Idon't categorize myself based on the gender of those I love."

He admitted that he had once viewed same-sex marriage, which was legalized in a landmark 2015 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, as a political impossibility. But, as he reflected in the essay, the dramatic social and political change he had witnessed decades earlier should have banished such pessimism.

The 'blue bomb'

In 1960, student sit-ins at segregated lunch counters and restaurants were exploding across the South. That October, at one such protest in Atlanta, King was arrested and jailed.

His predicament worsened after the judge in the case learned of a prior conviction: Several months earlier, King and his wife had been driving a white friend to the hospital in a neighboring county and were pulled over by a police officer suspicious


of the interracial group of travelers. The civil rights leader, who had been found guilty of driving with an out-of-state-license, a misdemeanor, was sentenced to four months at hard labor.

His wife, Coretta, then pregnant with their third child, feared her husband would be killed in jail. Her fear turned to terror after he was yanked from his cell in the middle of the night and taken to a maximum-security prison in Reidsville, Georgia. By the time she reached Wofford, a friend since the 1955-1956 Montgomery bus boycott, she was hysterical.

Wofford, who had been a lawyer for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights before joining the Kennedy presidential campaign, wanted to help but understood the political risks. Knowing that any overt sympathizing with the jailed leader might alienate Southernwhite voters, Kennedy's top strategists ruled out any action. His opponent, Vice President Richard Nixon, was also staying out of the fray.

Wofford helped hatch a plan.

"The idea came to me. . . . Why shouldn't he just call Mrs. King?" Wofford recounted in the oral history "Voices of Freedom" by Henry Hampton and Steve Fayer. "She was very anxious. . . . Why can't Kennedy at least just call her and say, 'We're working at it; we're going to get him out. You have my sympathy.' A personal, direct act."

With encouragement from Shriver, Kennedy placed the call during a campaign stop in Chicago.

King was released the next day after Robert Kennedy, his brother's campaign manager, made another call — this time to the judge. Kennedy drove home the


political importance of freeing King and assured the jurist that his help would make him "a welcome visitor in a future Kennedy White House," biographer Larry Tye wrote in his 2016 book "Bobby Kennedy: The Making of a Liberal Icon."

In black communities across the country, "the grapevine telegraph lit up" with jubilation over the Kennedys' efforts, Tye wrote.

Wofford led the charge to tout the phone calls in a pamphlet distributed at black churches across the country the Sunday before the election. Dubbed the "blue bomb" because of the color of the paper on which it was printed, it contrasted "No-Comment Nixon" with the "Candidate With a Heart." It also featured a powerful endorsement from King's influential Baptist preacher father.

The pamphlet "circulated below the registry of the news andwhite culture. It had enormous influence among black voters," King biographer Taylor Branch said in an interview. Executed behind the backs of the campaign's leaders, it "shows Harris Wofford's real shrewdness and possibly his decisive role in history."

Kennedy won the election by 84 electoral votes and a popular margin of 112,000 votes. Seventy percent of black voters cast their ballots for him. In "The Making of the President, 1960," historian Theodore White credited Kennedy's success to "the master stroke of intervention in the Martin Luther King arrest."

A precocious start

Harris Llewellyn Wofford Jr., whose father was an insurance executive, was born in New York on April 9, 1926. He grew up mostly in suburban Scarsdale, New York, and was the eldest of three children.

He was 11 when his maternal


grandmother took him on a life-altering six-month world tour.

In Rome, he said, he saw dictator Benito Mussolini "thundering" from a balcony against the League of Nations. In Shanghai, he and his grandmother walked through the rubble from the Japanese attack and occupation. In the streets of Mumbai, he said, he saw Mohandas Gandhi.

He later told The Philadelphia Inquirer that he returned to seventh grade as a "know-it-all foreign policy expert." His fascination with activism was ignited. Within a few years, he had organized the first chapter of the Student Federalists, which later merged with other groups to form what is now Citizens for Global Solutions.

Wofford served stateside in the Army Air Forces, then graduated from the University of Chicago in 1948. That year, he married fellow student ClareLindgren and traveled with her throughout India and Pakistan on a fellowship to study the work of Gandhi, who had just been assassinated.

Studying civil disobedience in India spurred Wofford to enroll at Howard, which he described in his 1980 memoir, "Of Kennedys and Kings," as "the center of the civil rights law I intended to practice." He earned law degrees from Howard and Yale University, both in 1954.

Five years later, Wofford helped arrange and underwrite a monthlong tour of India for Martin and Coretta King to meet many of Gandhi's disciples. The trip widened King's vision and gave him "a more sophisticated view of how social injustice and evil could be combated by the method of nonviolence," historian David Garrow wrote in his Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of King,


"Bearing the Cross."

Wofford was arrested for protesting police brutality during the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago and spent a night in jail. He later told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he became disillusioned with the radical youths leading the protests.

"One of the common threads all my life," he said, "has been a disagreement with those who see politics as primarily focused on their own psychic or ideological satisfaction, those people that want to vote or to protest or be witnesses (without being interested) in the art of persuasion or what the results will be. The protest movement of the late 1960s ended by appalling me."

From 1966 to 1970, Wofford served as president of an experimental branch of the State University of New York at Old Westbury on LongIsland. He spent the next eight years leading Bryn Mawr as the second male president since the college's founding in 1885.

In 1991, he was Pennsylvania's secretary of labor and industry when Democratic Gov. Robert Casey, an early political mentor, appointed him to fill the vacancy created by the death of Republican Sen. John Heinz in a plane crash. Promising balm for the frustrations of the middle class — including a proposal for national health care reform — Wofford then defeated Thornburgh with 55 percent of the vote.

Three years later, the discursive former college president lost his seat to Rep. Rick Santorum, the hard-charging Republican conservative who helped the GOP take control of the Senate. After leaving office, Wofford served six years as CEO of AmeriCorps, the national community


service program that was one of his chief legislative achievements as senator.

Clare Wofford died in 1996. In addition to his husband, Charlton, of Washington, survivors include three children, Susanne Wofford of Manhattan, Daniel Wofford of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, and David Wofford of Washington; a brother; a sister; and six grandchildren.

Wofford met Charlton on a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, beach.

Quoting a Robert Frost poem about love at first sight, he wrote in his New York Times essay: "Twice in my life, I've felt the pull of such passionate preference. At age 90, I am lucky to be in an era where the Supreme Court has strengthened what President Obama calls 'the dignity of marriage' by recognizing that matrimony is not based on anyone's sexual nature, choices or dreams.

Vail Mountain Comprehensive Master Planning

SUMMARY

With 5,289 skiable acres, Vail is the largest and most recognized ski resort in the United States. Vail consists of nearly 200 trails, 32 lifts, 10 back bowls, 4 terrain parks and 4 villages. Mike Larson, Mountainworks principal and founding partner, worked as part of Vail's operation team and later as the internal director of resort planning and development. During this time he was responsible for the master planning, government (forest service) approval, design documentation, project budgeting, field layout, construction oversight, and post-completion evaluation of all resort projects. In addition to the planning for countless trail, lift and infrastructure improvements, The crowning achievement was the comprehensive design of the 500 acre Blue Sky Basin (Intermediate gladed terrain) expansion in 2000.

RESULTS

Oversight in the planning


Following his assumption as acting governor of Eastern Samar, Vice Governor Marcelo Ferdinand Picardal has been outspoken about his priorities and he has backed up his plans with actions to jumpstart the development of the province, one of the poorest in the country, but one greatly endowed with beautiful coastlines, magnificent falls and forest canopies, and a unique history.

Picardal says his priority is creating livelihood opportunities for the people of Eastern Samar, almost half of them are living below the poverty threshold. His self-imposed target is to reduce the poverty incidence of the province to 25 percent in three to five years. “This is a tall order, but I’m determined to do that. Getting out of poverty has long been a dream of many Eastern Samarenos. To makethat dream real is my job.”

I want the provincial government, he said, to invest more in agriculture and fishery, particularly on subsectors that command good market prices. The provincial government should also invest in growing micro-enterprises and developing the province’s tourism potentials. Picardal is optimistic tourism will bring in more money to the province and will drive the local economy.

Aside from the natural endowments of the province, Picardal says his province can also build on its unique history to promote tourism. The province served as the gateway both to Magellan and MacArthur when they entered the country through the Pacific. While famous for driving away the American from Balangiga, Eastern Samar also hosted in Tubabao island the 6,000 Russian refugees who survived the Bolshevik revolution.

KENNEBUNK — The gay pride flag raised by the Gay Straight Trans Alliance (GSTA) Club at Kennebunk High School has been taken down less than a week after it was flown at the request of a transgender student who Principal Sue Cressey said was uncomfortable with the media attention.

Cressey said what was intended as a show of unity and support for all students at the school, quickly became “politicized” with media outlets calling district officials and students asking if they were trying to make a political statement. In a statement late Tuesday, Cressey said the flag will be displayed inside the school, and “we will continue to support all students."

A Twitter post by the “Feminist Group,” a new grassroots club that operates outside of the school, showing ashort video of the flag raising ceremony went viral last Friday. KHS is said to be the first school in the state to fly a gay pride flag.

The GSTA Club has existed at KHS for many years and it supports gay, straight, and transgender students. The club has posters and messages posted inside the school, and they approached Cressey a few weeks ago saying they wanted something that showed their message of acceptance and unity outside as well. Cressey said with club funds they purchased the flag, and a ceremony was held to raise it, alongside flags from the countries of students at the school.

Cressey said the flag poles were purchased years ago by an exchange organization that brought students from other countries to the school, with the


and the kind of mystical endeavour of art that it showed. I don't say he said that. But there was something inevitable about what these people were doing. On his level, he would talk about the wonderful film it was and that it was a good show. It was obviously very different from many of the musicals that were coming out of America at the time in that the nature of the story had a very dark element to it. This was something unique, especially served up in such a beautifully made and crafted way. I don't think my father understood the impact the film had on me at the time until years later, when he met Michael Powell. We all became sort of a family, my mothermind about Moira Shearer in The Red Shoes is "radiant," particularly in the way she was lit in the film and the angles used in her close-ups. The combination of actor/dancer seemed so natural for her. The nature of her physical build said so much about the character, even just a glance from her or a close-up.

There is something about the use of colour and the impact of the movement in the frame. It is to do with the high drama, even melodrama, within the lives of the characters and how seriously they took what they were doing. It was also their actual journey in creating something and the difficulty they faced. You could really feel the work that was being done by these dancers and by Lermontov


and by the Marius Goring character (the young composer.) It made it very visceral.

The colour, the way the film was photographed by the great Jack Cardiff, stayed in my mind for years. The film would be shown every Christmas on American television in black and white, but it didn't matter – we watched it. Even though it was in black and white on TV, we saw it in colour. We knew the colour. We still felt the passion – I used to call it brush-strokes – in the way Michael Powell used the camera in that film. Also, the ballet sequence itself was like an encyclopedia of the history of cinema. They used every possible means of expression, going back to the earliest of silent cinema.

I met MichaelPowell through (the publicist) Michael Kaplan, who had worked with Stanley Kubrick and was beginning to work with Robert Altman. I and others had been asking about Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger pretty much throughout the late 1960s. We really couldn't find anything definitive written about them in any of the histories of British cinema.

Among my colleagues – Coppola, of course, Spielberg and Brian De Palma and pretty much everybody who was beginning to make films in the early 1970s – whenever we spoke about a film and we couldn't remember the title, it was invariably something we had seen on television in black and white, written, produced and directed by Powell and Pressburger. We were all wondering who they were, where they were and whether they were


up to date about the appreciation of his and Emeric's work among the younger film-makers. My friends and colleagues were still trying to find good colour copies of the work or at least extant copies of A Canterbury Tale (1944). I do talk rather quickly. I was excited. He seemed rather modest and somewhat taken aback. Quite honestly, I guess I spoke so much, I don't remember what he told me.

Powell had gone from making "quota quickies" (low budget British films) in the 1930s on to his collaboration with Pressburger and then on to a film like Peeping Tom (1960). When I was at Washington Square College, which was part of New York University at the time, there was a very, very small film department. Peeping Tom becamea legendary film. Even if people had missed it, they talked about it. It really fed directly into a wonderful film made by Jim McBride at the time, who was also a student, called David Holzman's Diary (1967). Peeping Tom was one of the key influences on that Powell was really influencing an entire generation.

I believe he was living in this small trailer. It looked like an Airstream. He was trying to work. Now, looking back, I know he was in dire circumstances with finances and pretty much everything else.

I was more of a close friend of Michael Powell than of Emeric Pressburger. Michael came to New York. He came to California when I was living there. We were around each other a great deal of the time.


film at 3am from a night-shoot or at dawn and it's on, I find it is difficult to got to sleep. It is a film that I continually and obsessively am drawn to. It was very hard to see good colour copies of the film. I sought out whatever theatre they were playing in. The big prize was to get a good 16mm colour print. That was like a major coup to get that – or, at least to see it if not to own one. That become a kind of obsessive search.

The funny thing about it is the nature of possessing a print of the film. It's not about the celluloid. It's not about the print. It's about the nature of the film itself and how thePeeping Tom was the finish. In any event, from reading the autobiography and knowing Michael from 1975 until 1990 (when he died), I think he and Pressburger were as skilled as politicians as they could have been in that world. Working for J Arthur Rank, they were able to create a string of masterpieces. That changed. It's the nature of the way the world has changed.

SCREENING THE RESTORED THE RED SHOES

Taking a break from post-production on their new film "Shutter Island", Martin Scorsese and his editor Thelma Schoonmaker will be in Cannes today for a screening of the restored version of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's "The Red Shoes".

"Marty and I have always, over the years, tried to promote the work," says Schoonmaker


of her and Scorsese's attempts to bring the works of Powell and Pressburger to wider attention. She was introduced to Powell by Scorsese and ended up marrying him in 1984. Powell died in 1990.

The negatives of "The Red Shoes" that had been made by the British Film Institute were fast becoming worn out. "It became clear that we had to think about a major new restoration," Schoonmaker recalls. The restoration was made from the original three-strip Technicolor materials. These were in "bad shape," scratched, dirty and suffering from serious mould damage. Now, they have undergone an extraordinary transformation. Scorsese and Schoonmaker both say they were "knocked out" by how vivid the colours appear.

"The Red Shoes" is one of the most innovative films in British cinema. In Lermontov, itfeatures a character as driven and uncompromising as Scorsese himself. Schoonmaker says of Scorsese: "The sense of courage, daring and of being willing to die for your art appeals to him immensely."

Tonight, alongside Scorsese and Schoonmaker will be relatives of many of the other key collaborators on "The Red Shoes". Pressburger's grandson Andrew Macdonald (producer of "Trainspotting"); the daughter and grand-daughter of the film's star, ballet dancer Moira Shearer; and the widows of Marius Goring and cinematographer Jack Cardiff, are all due to attend.

'The Red Shoes' screens tonight in Cannes at 7:45pm in a version restored by UCLA Film and Television Archive in association with The British Film Institute, The Film Foundation, ITV Global Entertainment Ltd, and Janus Films, with funding by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, The

[Parmentier, potatoes and American pots].
The discovery of new agricultural and alimentary possibilities was one of the most important motives of the numerous scientific expeditions sent to America during the XVIIIth century. Some french scientists (naturalists, medical, botanical, etc.) undertook, during the second half of the Enlightenment century, an active campaign in favor of the potato consumption. The most well-known was the pharmacist Parmentier that settled his propaganda upon political arguments (the potato gives of eating all the population), economical (it is an easy plant of cultivating and of good efficiency), and scientific (excellent nutritious qualities).of the year, coinciding with the coldest and wettest months. This pattern has been repeated every revised year, according to an annual rate, with the onset of the first insulation between the months of October and February, and of the last ending between March and June, showing the highest peaks of isolation during the month of February. Therefore, every year we observe a break or seasonal slip matching the months with higher temperatures and lower humidity.


(Escoltada contract invoking Kentucky law and Kentucky forum). The parties advertised together both in the United States and in Argentina. See DE # 21 (Plaintiff's Hearing Exhibits AC). These ads had prominent Kentucky references. See Tr. at 31 (noting intentional reference *1085 to "doing business with shuttling stallions and farms in Kentucky").
Defendant's mischaracterizations about the role of SEI harm his credibility as a witness. He claimed under oath that he "never entered into any agreement with SEI, formal or informal." See DE # 6-3 at 1110; Tr. at 49 (describing relationship as "Not with a corporation"). The record is loaded with checks, invoices, and other papers documenting the relationship between Pavlovsky and SEI, the entity. See DE # 9. SEI obviously acted as Pavlovsky's agent on many occasions.conduct is at issue, and a defendant that creates "`continuing obligations' between himself and the residents of the forum" has availed himself of the privilege of forum involvement. See Air Products, 503 F.3d at 551. A singular contract alone may not suffice, but an on-going relationship, indicating repeated intentional activities directed toward the forum, meets this criterion. Defendant formed his relationship with a known Kentucky entity. The twelve-year relationship grew from contact in Kentucky, and the very business centered on trade in horses purchased at public and private sales in the Commonwealth. SEI's Kentucky presence was a key to the operation, offering local credit for purchases and then a site to board horses in transition. SEI, from Kentucky, procured insurance and other services for horses owned or held


by the partnership. Pavlovsky, who has repeatedly traveled to the state for business and other purposes, intentionally engaged in an association with a strong and strategic Kentucky presence. He participated in partnership deals that used, benefitted from, and enforced Kentuckylaw rights. During the quarantine period for purchased horses, Pavlovsky enjoyed the protection of Kentucky laws as to his assets, and he took (if needed) the protection of Kentucky law with respect to his purchase and sale obligations at Keeneland or private deals. Defendant did purposefully avail himself of the privilege of engaging in business in this District.

As the New York Times reports, Clinton brought her admiring audience at the Women’s National Democratic Club to tears.

Award presenter Nuchhi Currier could barely contain her emotion when she remembered the last presidential election produced a result that was “very different from what had been anticipated.”

Especially after Clinton secured the nomination through a rigged process, former Democratic National Committee chairwoman Donna Brazile alleged in a Politico interview. That assessment was quietly but firmly endorsed by left-leaning Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

The negative talk apparently didn’t faze Clinton. She told the crowd, “I got more votes than anybody except Barack Obama in 2008,” as she again insisted her popular vote overshadowed Trump’s victory in the Electoral College.

Overcoming Obama

The worst legacy of Obama administration was how he bypassed Congress from January 2011 through January 2017, making new "laws" with his pen and phone.Doing that effectively implemented his progressive agenda after Democrats lost control of Congress in January 2011.Obama moved usa big step closer to a dictatorship, where Congress did not matter.He should have been stopped with an impeachment proceeding for doing that, but Democrats in Congress didn't care about their institution, and Republicans in Congress feared being called racists (but they are always called that by Democrats anyway).I believe in time it will become obvious that Obama was one of the worst Presidents in American history -- he temporarily has an approval rating above 50% only because it has been so many

Check OutIf the Nazis had won the war in Europe, and their propaganda ministry had decided to make a film about the American Revolution, The Patriot is exactly the movie you could expect to see. . . .

In one scene towheaded preteens are armed by their father and turned into the equivalent of the Werwolf boy-soldiers that the Third Reich was thought to have recruited from the Hitler Youth to carry out guerrilla attacks against the invading Allies.

In the film’s most exciting sequence, [Mel] Gibson is provoked by the foreigner into becoming one of those bloodied, ax-wielding forest supermen so beloved in Nazi folk-iconography: an 18-century equivalent of the Goth leader Arminius (aka Hermann the German) who annihilated two Roman Legions in the Teutoburger Forest.

The most outrageous of The


Patriot’s many faults is the way [director Roland] Emmerich and [screenwriter Robert] Rodat show the British troops committing a war crime that closely resembles one of the most notorious Nazi war crimes of World War II—the massacre of 642 people (including 205 children) in the French village of Oradour sur Glane on June 10, 1944. The film mimics the horrible event with clear accuracy and turns it into just another atrocity committed by redcoats in 1780. . . . At Oradour, the Waffen SS “Das Reich” division punished local resistance activity by first shooting all the men and boys. Then they rounded up the women and children, locked them in the town church and set it afire.”

[The Patriot casts] George III’s redcoats as cartoonish paragons of evil whosixty-two German soldiers who, after surrendering to the Resistance, had been butchered: “Some had had their genitals cut off and stuffed into their mouths. Others had been covered with excrement. One man had holes in his heels with a rope through them, and a [smashed] face, indicating that he had been tied to the back of a truck and driven around.”

Also on June 9, the Germans learn that French partisans have captured SS-Sturmbannführer Helmut Kämpfe, a popular officer, and plan to publicly burn him alive in Oradour, a center of partisan activity.

On June 10, in an attempt to rescue Kämpfe, a company of the SS regiment Der Führer, under the command of Stubaf. Adolf Dickmann, enters Oradour and discovers “a smoldering German army ambulance in which the driver


and co-driver had been chained to the steering wheel and burnt alive together with their wounded passengers.”

Dickmann takes hostages and houses the women and children in the local Church. The Germans hope to exchange the male hostages for Kämpfe, Dickmann’s close personal friend.

The Germans search the town for arms, discovering caches of illicit weapons in almost all the houses. (Partisan warfare, it should be remembered, is not sanctioned by international conventions and is technically illegal.)

The Germans discover another smoldering body, which they identify as Kämpfe. The partisans have, as the Germans feared, burned him alive.

Dickmann then, according to the conventional account of the Oradour massacre, orders the male hostages shot and orders his men to set fire to the Church, incinerating all but three of the women andWhat Over 500 Batmans Look Like

women in this country, you're actually the kind of woman that Donald Trump is terrified of: A woman who fights back. A woman who refuses to accept that the man leading our country can be defended with any ethical seriousness, a woman who is ready to resist the administration and its destructive goals every day until the job is done.

Women have been leading the charge against the Trump administration since his first day in office when more than half a million protestors in the Women's March showed up on his doorstep. And now, women make up a whopping 86 percent of the calls to Congressional representatives against the Trump administration's goals.

New Cross Fire: the bleakest moment

My first memory of New Cross comes from around 1981, years before I lived here. I was in the back of a car being driven by a friend's parents across London to Kent, in the days before the M25 made it possible to drive around London instead. In the traffic jam we stopped by the haunting burnt out shell of a


house, which we immediately recognised from the TV coverage as the scene of the terrible New Cross Fire.

On Saturday 17th January 1981, a 16th birthday party was held at 439 New Cross Road for Yvonne Ruddock. In the early hours of the next morning, a fire broke out and 13 young black people, all between the ages of 15 and 20 years old, were killed. Yvonne Ruddock was among the dead. One survivor killed himself a couple of years later, so the death toll is often given as 14.

There's an excellent BBC Windrush Years documentary about the fire, first broadcast in 1998, which you may be able to find online. It describes the New Cross Fire as ‘the bleakest moment in a decade of alienation and bitterness', andincludes interviews with people who were at the party. Sometimes the actual event gets lost behind its political and cultural significance - we must never underestimate the horror of the night, with the terrible injuries, physical and mental, suffered by the survivors, and the dreadful scenes that greeted emergency services and others when they arrived at the house. Harry Powell, a witness, recalled: ‘I lived on Alpha Road... as I turned the corner I realized there was kids ... jumping out of the window, fire was blazing, screaming’.

Shocking too was the racist response to the fire, with abusive letters sent to victims’ families. In this climate, it is not surprising that many believed that that the fire was the result a racist attack and the police initially suggested


that it may have been caused by a firebomb – a theory they later rejected in favour of claiming that the fire had been started following an argument in the party.

Local black people recalled that there had been other racist arson attacks in the area. In November 1977 a newspaper reported that a National Front meeting had included talk of burning down the Moonshot, a New Cross youth club popular with young black people. On December 18th, it was indeed gutted in a firebomb attack and had to be rebuilt.

The Albany in Deptford was a centre of local anti-racist activity, including ‘Rock Against Racism’ gigs, a three day ‘All Together Now’ festival, a benefit to scrap the suss laws and a successful anti racist show called ‘Restless natives’.On the 14th July 1978 the Albany (then at 47 Creek Road) was gutted by fire. The next day a note was pushed through the door of the building saying ‘GOT YOU’.

Back in January 1971, in nearby Ladywell, three petrol bombs had been thrown into an African-Caribbean party in Sunderland Road, seriously injuring several people. Two white racists were later jailed for the attack, and as with the New Cross Fire ten years later, the police were accused of inaction. In fact in the following week, the police arrested eight members of the Black Unity and Freedom Party in a fracas on their way home from visiting the fire’s victims at Lewisham hospital. A march by 150 black people and supporters to Ladywell police station a few weeks


after the fire saw further arrests.

Throughout the 1970s there had a significant far right presence in south East London. In 1976, the National Front and the National Party achieved a combined vote of 44.5% in a Deptford council by-election. And on 13 August 1977, a National Front March to Lewisham started in New Cross, in Achilles Street by Fordham Park. The clashes between the NF, anti-fascists and the police on that day became known as the Battle of Lewisham.

But it wasn’t just the possible racist attack that inflamed anger. While local community activists like Sybil Phoenix rallied round to support those affected, there was little or no official support, not even the usual messages of condolence from the Queen or the prime minister. The police interrogated party goersas if they were criminals rather than victims, and the press reporting was largely unsympathetic. As Linton Kwesi Johnson recalled ‘a lot of people were angry... not just about what happened, but about the way the whole business was handled by the police and the way it was reported in the press and the media'.

On the Sunday following the fire a mass meeting was held at The Moonshot Club, attended by over 1000 people. From that meeting there was a demonstration to the scene of the fire, which blocked New Cross Road for several hours. A New Cross Massacre Action Committee was established and organised weekly mass meetings in New Cross. It also called the Black People's Day of Action on Monday 2nd March 1981.

On a wet working


day, at least 15,000 (some say 20,000) marched over a period of eight hours from Fordham Park to Hyde Park with slogans including: 'Thirteen Dead and Nothing Said', 'No Police Cover-Up', 'Blood Ah Go Run If Justice No Come' – the largest single political mobilization of black people ever seen in the UK. LKJ was a steward on the march, and remembers that 'all along the march we kept on picking up more people... school children were climbing over fences to come and join the demonstration in Peckham'. Other walked out of their workplaces to join in.

The march passes Clifton Rise in New Cross

Although the march was mainly peaceful, The Sun reported it with the headline: ‘The Day the Blacks Ran Riot in London’, with other press reportsfeaturing headlines like 'Black day at Blackfriars' and 'When the black tide met the thin blue line'. Paul Gilroy, who took part, relates that 'we were deeply disappointed that the justice in our claim and the tragedy itself was still considered to be secondary to the sensation'.

Black People's Day of Action - the New Cross Massacre Action Committee banner on the march

Thirty years later the families of those who died still have no answers. A second inquest in 2004 recorded an open verdict, and nobody has ever been charged. Many now query the racist attack hypothesis, but the sense of injustice remains. Playwright Rex Obano, who is helping to organise the memorial event at the Albany on Friday, was featured in an article in The Guardian this week.


British Airways boss apologises for 'malicious' data breach Published duration 7 September 2018

British Airways's boss has apologised for what he says was a sophisticated breach of the firm's security systems, and has promised compensation.

Alex Cruz told the BBC that hackers carried out a "sophisticated, malicious criminal attack" on its website.

The airline said personal and financial details of customers making or changing bookings had been compromised.

About 380,000 transactions were affected, but the stolen data did not include travel or passport details.

"We are 100% committed to compensate them, period," Mr Cruz told the BBC's Today programme.

"We are committed to working with any customer who may have been financially affected by this attack, and we will compensate them for any financial hardship that they may have suffered."

However, his latest album, Beyond Dreams (subtitled Pathways to Deep Relaxation) sees the highly-accomplished artist taking a new path in his musical voyage. While Bekker has certainly released some relaxing music over the course of his decades' long discography, Beyond Dreams is specifically designed, including from a scientific (based on research) approach, to aid in deep meditation and sleep inducement. The liner notes feature an intro from Dr. Lee Bartel, founding director of the Music and Health Research Collaboratory (University of Toronto). I won't try to put into layman's terms what lies at the core of Beyond Dreams except to say it has to do with


partners not to feel a total absence of authority."

They spoke after demonstrators occupied government buildings in Kiev and built barricades in the city centre.

Saturday's mini-crackdown aside, men in plain clothes have been beating up protesters trying to get from regional towns to Kiev in recent days.

Oleksandr Sushko, a Ukrainian sociologist, told this website some anarchist groups are using the pro-EU rallies as an excuse to go wild.

But he added that agent provocateurs are also going wild to provoke police action.

Recalling one incident on Sunday, when demonstrators drove a bulldozer into riot police, he said: "This happened in Bankova Street, in the government district. It is one of the most heavily guarded areas in Kiev. Nobody believes you could drive a bulldozer there without the government's permission."

Some of the world's top auto-parts suppliers are not buying into all the enthusiasm about the electric vehicles hyped by Tesla's Elon Musk and larger carmakers trying to keep up.

Executives at five of the 25 biggest suppliers to carmakers in North America have downplayed this month's expectations for electric-vehicle sales.

After Volvo Car Group made a splash with its pledge to put electric motors in every new car by 2019 and Musk predicted more than half of United States car production would be electric in 10 years, the parts makers have issued modest forecasts and spoken in circumspect, even defiant, tones.

With the increasing popularity of digital technologies, more and more digital learning materials are available in education. However, making digital learning materials accessible to diverse students can be a challenging task. In higher education institutions, faculty members play a vital role in ensuring the accessibility of digital learning materials. This paper aims to provide a better understanding of the attitudes among faculty members towards this task by conducting a thematic analysis of 35 semi-structured interviews with computer science and engineering faculty members at four universities in Norway and Poland.


Apple made its first foray into British television yesterday, and immediately found itself facing questions over the costs of its video downloads, which observers said were forcing British consumers to pay much higher prices than their US counterparts.

After years of speculation, the iPod maker launched its UK television download service, a project that allows customers to buy a handful of American television series through the company's massively popular iTunes Store.

But some experts said the service - whose offerings, for £1.89 a show, include the fictional series Lost, plus Ugly Betty, and Desperate Housewives - was much more expensive than in the US. The same purchases from the American iTunes Store, where television shows have been available for almost two years, cost just 99p ($1.99) an episode.

"The thing isa further challenge to its dominance - this time from Nokia, the world's biggest mobile phone manufacturer. The Finnish firm yesterday threw down the gauntlet by announcing its service Ovi, a music download deal aimed at European customers. It also unveiled four new handsets designed to challenge the iPod and the forthcoming iPhone, which is set to appear in Britain before Christmas.

The music download service will charge 79p a track - the same price as iTunes' music downloads and much less than many of the music shops offered by the mobile operators themselves. It will let customers load CD collections on to a computer and move them on to a Nokia phone. But Ovi, due to launch at the end of the year, may face difficulties if it


goes into direct competition with the phone networks' own music products. Some mobile networks are already threatening to block the Nokia service altogether by refusing to sell handsets compatible with it.

The concern is that if Nokia cannot secure deals with companies such as Vodafone, Orange and O2 British customers who have signed up to the music service could end up paying extra for downloading tracks over the air. Nokia's chief executive, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, admitted Ovi owed a lot to the success of the iPod, but said the store - which has already signed up the world's four big record labels - would have a catalogue of "millions" of tracks. "Our target is to have all the music in the world available to everybody," he said.

Apple's TV downloads willalso face stiff competition, not least from British TV companies, most of which have launched video-on-demand; some of the shows are free for a time.

But one industry analyst said Apple's video prices were competitive in relation to other options open to British consumers. "In some cases iTunes UK is cheaper than the DVD format," said Arash Amel, chief analyst with Screen Digest.

Vint Cerf, one of the creators of the internet, told the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International TV Festival this week that downloading would eventually replace broadcasting as the dominant force in television. He said 85% of all video watched was pre-recorded; consumers would still need live television for events in the news and sport but increasingly would "download content to look at later".

Mr Amel predicted that the UK download

The answering machine announced that the journalist was in the field on assignment and would be back the next day. He didn't like cell phones: "It scares the birds." Raff then remembered that Robbins was with a small group of ecologists visiting the Red Hills, just north of the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. They were going to explore a backcountry tract containing remnant old-growth pine savanna and hardwood-clad ravines.

Raff left a message, "Hey, Bill, must talk. Please call. Urgent."

SARASOTA, FLA.—Two orphaned sisters separated decades ago in Korea have been reunited after miraculously getting hired on the same floor of a southwest Florida hospital.

Holly Hoyle O’Brien was adopted by an American couple in 1978 when she was 9 years old. A few years earlier, her biological father had wandered into the path of a speeding train and she was forced to identify his body. After that, she went to live in an orphanage in South Korea. Her stepmother had taken her younger half-sister years earlier and left. It’s unclear where the two went.

O’Brien grew up in a happy home in Alexandria, Va., with three sisters and six brothers. Still, something was missing. One night she woke up in tears, telling her parents, “My daddy died, I havebruises on the wife. Ms. Arsenaux testified that her husband had a drinking problem and other emotional difficulties. He frequently struck her and hurt the children when he was drunk. The husband, his mother, father, aunt, psychologist, and James Fitzmorris, Sr., testified on his *429 behalf. Proffers number eight and nine are depositions by two men alleged to be the wife's boyfriends. These depositions were excluded by the trial court but found admissible by the court of appeal. Both men said their relationship with Ms. Arsenaux was friendly but not intimate.
According to Dr. Hannie, the husband's psychologist, Arsenaux's heavy drinking was a reaction to the stressful situation in the marriage, triggered by the conviction that his wife was engaging in sexual activities with other men for financial gain.


The wife did not waive her statutory privilege and right to privacy by filing suit for separation and contending that she was free from fault.

ALIMONY AND CHILD SUPPORT
In its per curiam denial of application for rehearing, the court of appeal stated:
"The husband's application for rehearing points out that no change in alimony pendente lite and child support had been sought by any pleadings subsequent to the July 16, 1980 judgment. At the trial on November 20, resulting in the November 10 judgment now on appeal, counsel stipulated that there had been no change in circumstances pleaded. We therefore conclude that in place of an award for child support there should have been a simple continuation of the July 1980 award of $500 for both alimony pendente lite andplaced at issue whether she obtained an abortion under an alias after the husband's vasectomy and therefore guilty of adultery as contended by her husband. Accordingly, I respectfully dissent.
LEMMON, Justice, dissenting.
When Mrs. Arsenaux sought a judicial determination of her entitlement to alimony and alleged she was free from fault, she impliedly waived any medical privilege that would prevent her husband from introducing hospital records that proved she underwent an abortion long after her husband's successful vasectomy. And when she denied becoming pregnant in October, 1978, as part of her evidence in support of the alimony claim, she again waived any medical privilege that would preclude her husband from presenting this otherwise admissible impeaching evidence on this critical fact.[1]

he called “recreational” trespass, he did so as an ethnographer conducting legitimate social scientific research for what he considered the public good.

In the course of four years of ethnographic work, Garrett became very intimate with urban explorers and with this access was able to write a book of stunning detail about urban exploration in London and beyond. These explorers journey into buildings, construction sites and sewers, photographing the scenes as they go.

Whether urban explorers are aware of it or not, their photographs show us how much of the world has been privatised, permanently segregated from the public by locks, hired guards, barbed wire and surveillance cameras for exclusive use by financial elites.

       In applying this rule the general order of the Commission with relation to the subdivision
of property shall be observed.

        RULE 3: The daily allowable production of gas from individual wells completed in the
subject field shall be determined by allocating the allowable production, after deductions have
been made for wells which are incapable of producing their gas allowables, among the individual

      TEN percent (10%) of the total field allowable


                            DISCUSSION OF THE EVIDENCE

      The Vaquillas Ranch (Lobo Cons.) Field was formed in 1998 with the consolidation
of numerous fields. The field is classified as associated-prorated with AOF status. There
are 593 gas wells on the current schedule and no oil wells.

       The subject field is one of 11 fields in the Wilcox Lobo trend in Webb and Zapata
Counties for which a change in spacing rule is being requested. The Wilcox throughout
the area is highly faulted and as a result of the very complex geology, it is difficult to

        WHEREAS the Lease was revised, more particularly described in that certain Oil. Gas and Mineral

Amendment to Oil and Gas Lease, dated June 16, 1988: recorded in Volume 1303, Page 879 in the Real
Property Records of Webb County. Texas.

        WHEREAS the Lease has also been amended from time to time. as reflected in the Public Records of

Property Records of Webb County, Texas.

           WHEREAS the Lease has also been amended from time        to time, as reflected in the Public Records of
Webb County, Texas, and all references to the Lease herein shall be to the Lease as amended.

           NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt of whichmore properly referred to as a "Grantee." Natural Gas Pipeline Co. v.

S.W.3d 550, 554 (Tex. 2002). By the first Lease, Vaquillas and its predecessors granted to

ConocoPhillips' predecessor the mineral estate in and under 26,622.79 acres of Webb County

land for "five years (called "primary term") and as long thereafter as oil, gas or other mineral is

produced from said land or land with which said land is pooled hereunder." By the second

Lease, Vaquillas and its predecessors did the same for an additional 6,740 acres of Webb County

land, except the term of that Lease was for "three years ... and as long thereafter as oil, gas or

other mineral is produced from said land or land with which said


to pass, both of which are "limitations on the grant." The

first limitation on the grant is found in the habendum clauses of the two Leases and is cessation

of production in paying quantities, an event that has not occurred. Under Vaquillas' arguments,

the second limitation on the grant is the requirement to deliver releases of undeveloped acreage

that is contained in Paragraph 18. Consequently, the question posed by Vaquillas' Petition is

whether by virtue of a second limitation on the grant contained in the two Leases,

ConocoPhillips must release thousands of additional acres it has earned by extensive drilling and

would continue to hold under the habendum clauses because Sentence (2) of Paragraph 18 means

it may retain only 40, rather than the agreed 640, acres around producing wells?

      further to permit them also to assign an additional 80 acres, for a total

of 160 acres to oil wells. Id.

       The dispute before the Supreme Court was that the lessor, Jones, contended the language

of her lease authorized the lessee, Killingsworth, to unitize only 80 acres around oil wells.

Killingsworth, the lessee, contended the Field Rules permitted him to create units that conformed

substantially to the maximum acreage of 160 acres that was permitted for oil wells by the

applicable Field Rules. The Supreme Court decided the case for Jones by focusing on the

difference between two specific words-"prescribed" and "permitted"-that the parties had

employed in the Jones-to-Killingsworth lease. The Court held as follows:


In lieu of the default 640 acres, the units established by

the Railroad Commission's rules for the field were to determine the amount of acreage

that would be retained for each well.

    D. The Railroad Commission adopted spacing rules for the Vaquillas
       Ranch (Lobo Cons.) Field.

        The Railroad Commission of Texas adopted spacing rules in its special field rules

for the Vaquillas Ranch (Lobo Cons.) Field 32 Each of the wells drilled under the Leases

is in the Vaquillas Ranch (Lobo Cons.) Field 33

        After the November I, 1987, amendment to the Leases, at Conoco's request, the

Railroad Commission adopted rules specifically for the Vaquillas Ranch (Lobo Cons.)

Field. These field    and shut-in natural gas well capable of producing in paying quantities."

            The November 25 Order decided a controlling question of law. The Order determined, as

     a matter of law, how the "retained acreage" clauses of the two leases should be construed with

     regard to the central issue in the case: the number of acres per well ConocoPhillips retains under

     the "retained acreage" clauses following the end of ConocoPhillips' continuous drillings

     operations.    The controlling question of law involves the two parties' competing legal

     interpretations of the "retained acreage" clauses and certain

Sodom and Gomorrah. When the Kiwis are having a selectorial apocalypse, it is Sinclair they turn to. He will always live with us.

I Bell – If Bell truly was the son of God, Christianity would have died out by now. Instead Bell seems ordained by some higher power, perhaps Murdoch, to play the number 3 position for England. He coveted it while he had to wait out Pestilence (Shah), War (Bopara) and Famine (Trott) but he found his way back to number three.

M Hussey – Has never left heavenly earth, but what exactly was he doing between the age of 12 and 30.

K Pietersen – An outcast with his old religion he became the father, son and holy bail of a new one. It still hasn’t been smoothan 18 million dollar player and the first globetrotting 2020 cricketer seems a bit stupid.

Dirk Nannes has already played for 5 2020 sides around the world without being freelance.

And Freddie is not that good at 2020 cricket.

In 7 international T20 games he has 76 runs, and 5 wickets at 32 (good econ of 6.44).

In domestic t20 he has a batting average of 24, but his bowling record is much better, average of 20, econ of 6.96.

Those are not the numbers of a 2020 superstar.

For Chennai he was a waste of space. Him and Oram clogged up the middle order time and time again, and he also went the distance with his bowling a couple of times.

Even when he played for the world XI he was only average.

Part of


Freddie’s brilliance comes from the fact he puts in everything he has when representing Lancashire and England, two places he loves dearly.

I doubt he has a real deep-seated love of Natal, South Australia or Chennai.

Then compare him Andrew Symonds as a freelancer.

Symonds averages 48 in international T20 cricket, and 45 in domestic t20. Plus he can bowl a couple of overs, and when fit (which both men may never be again) is a predator in the field.

He’s a 2020 destructor, and his average IPL team won the title with him starring.

Chubby Chandler get people talking about 18 million dollar 5 year plans, bungee jumping and 5 continents, but eventually people will talk about Freddie on the field, and if he doesn’t lift his 2020 game, he might findcosting hundreds of rupees

Rajesh Kumar, 23, from Uttar Pradesh came to Ludhiana around a year ago looking for a job. He joined a local manufacturing unit as a labourer and struggled for an identity card. That’s when he got in touch with a local tout who charged Rs 200 from him for a new Aadhar card.

Following a tip off, HT team met a tout operating at a public services agency in Dashmesh Nagar. The woman in the shop asked for ₹200 for issuing a new Aadhar card.

The team then came in contact with Kumar who said that he was charged Rs150 by the same tout. Kumar said that after checking his documents, the tout sent him to the City Union Bank on Gill Road where he was charged


Officials in the state capital declared a disaster late Friday due to fears of the coronavirus, essentially canceling the South by Southwest festival, but for some the show may still go on.

Mayor Steve Adler declared the emergency shutdown Friday after consulting with local health officials concerned that the deadly illness could be spread to central Texas by attendees from the West Coast.

But the 10-day festival that was due to start March 13, known here simply as “South By,” is a major engine of the creative economy. And some of those heavily invested said they do not intend to change their plans.

“We live and die by South By,” said Rob Hicks, 40, owner of the Dirty Dog Bar on Sixth Street.

In December, he said, the building was sold, andthe new landlord raised the rent 88%. He stayed because of South by Southwest, also known as SXSW, spending about $6,000 on marketing and promotions.

“I’m still going to host all my shows. I booked 120 bands. None of them canceled,” he said.

SXSW launched in 1987 as a music festival but grew to include film and tech. This year’s festival was scheduled for March 13-22, with the music component due to start March 16.

The festival was to feature a keynote speech by Roger Waters of Pink Floyd, the premiere of a Beastie Boys documentary, director Judd Apatow interviewing Stephen Colbert and Kim Kardashian West discussing her criminal justice work. But in recent days, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and other tech companies withdrew. And an online petition begun by Austinites
