Thai Life
13 take-aways from Anthony Bourdain
PHOTO: Paul Robb
Anthony Bourdain rarely travelled with an itinerary. Or kept a schedule. And that was a good thing. His work reflected the haphazard nature of the places he visited and the experiences he enjoyed, and shared with millions. Here are 13 'take-aways' from Anthony Bourdain, who died in Paris at the age of 61 on June 8.
On having an open mind
1. "If you're twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel — as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them — wherever you go."
2. "Do we really want to travel in hermetically sealed popemobiles through the rural provinces of France, Mexico and the Far East, eating only in Hard Rock Cafes and McDonald's? Or do we want to eat without fear, tearing into the local stew, the humble taqueria's mystery meat, the sincerely offered gift of a lightly grilled fish head? I know what I want. I want it all. I want to try everything once."
3. "If I'm an advocate for anything, it's to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else's shoes or at least eat their food, it's a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move."
On planning
4. "Nothing unexpected and wonderful is going to happen if you have an itinerary in Paris filled with the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower."
5. "I learned a long time ago that trying to micromanage the perfect vacation is always a disaster. That leads to terrible times."
6. "I'm a big believer in winging it. I'm a big believer that you're never going to find perfect city travel experience or the perfect meal without a constant willingness to experience a bad one. Letting the happy accident happen is what a lot of vacation itineraries miss, I think, and I'm always trying to push people to allow those things to happen rather than stick to some rigid itinerary."
7. "When dealing with complex transportation issues, the best thing to do is pull up with a cold beer and let somebody else figure it out."
On the world
8. "It's an irritating reality that many places and events defy description. Angkor Wat and Machu Picchu, for instance, seem to demand silence, like a love affair you can never talk about. For a while after, you fumble for words, trying vainly to assemble a private narrative, an explanation, a comfortable way to frame where you've been and what's happened. In the end, you're just happy you were there — with your eyes open — and lived to see it."
9. "It seems that the more places I see and experience, the bigger I realize the world to be. The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I still have to go, the more there is to learn. Maybe that's enlightenment enough; to know that there is no final resting place of the mind; no smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom…is realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go.
On connecting
10. It's those little human moments that stick with you forever, the random acts of kindness."
11. "To be treated well in places where you don't expect to be treated well, to find things in common with people you thought previously you had very, very little in common with, well that can't be a bad thing."
On the journey
12. "As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life — and travel — leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks — on your body or on your heart — are beautiful. Often, though, they hurt."
13."Travel isn't always pretty. It isn't always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that's okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind."

Covid tourism standstill gives Thailand's southern sea gypsies a break
Phuket's sea gypsy communities are getting a much needed break after the Covid tourism standstill have their traditions a break from the tourism onslaught. 42 year old Sanan Changham says now there is an abundance of fish and shellfish to eat. Tourist boats have been docked at the quay, making fishing easier for the Chao Lay, or "people of the sea."
"We don't dive as deep as before, so it's less dangerous."
More than 9 million visitors came to Phuket in 2019, impacting the sea gypsies and their way of life, mostly located at the southern end of the island. The booming tourism brought a decline in fish stocks, decreasing fishing grounds and loud construction of hotels. And the traffic. Such hotels signal an even bigger threat to the 1,200 Chao Lay in Rawai, as property developers have tried to evict them from their ancestral strip of land that faces the sea.
Ngim Damrongkaset, a Rawai community representative, says he hopes the area where developers have taken a stake is abandoned.
"They want to drive us out of our homes, but also to deny us access to the sea."
For the Chao Lay people, the fight to keep their land has been unequal as most are illiterate and were unaware of the fact that they could register their land, but the government is trying to help them. One way for authorities to buy the land and entrust it to them.
Narumon Arunotai, an anthropologist at Bangkok's Chulalongkorn University, says the government must seize the opportunity provided by the pandemic to rethink their vision on Chao Lay.
"Covid is an opportunity to change mentalities. Mass tourism in Phuket has been a catastrophe for the sea gypsies."
The land in Rawai was originally claimed by Indonesian ancestors of Sanan, before the island became flooded with international travellers. But since tourism has become more profitable, authorities have cracked down on the sea gypsies unless they are sailing in protected marine reserves.
"Before, we risked being arrested by a patrol or having our boats confiscated."
For the animist Chao Lay the beach is a vital space where they keep their colourful wooden boats and where they pray and give thanks to their ancestors. But not only their unique cultural heritage has helped them navigate the waters.
The Chao Lay people are experts at detecting any abnormalities in the water, as such they were able to escape before the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami hit, while saving loads of tourists. Furthermore, Children of the Moken have 50% better visual acuity in the water than their European counterparts, according to a 2003 study.

Top 10
Top 10 English-language movies made in Thailand
Thailand is active in attracting foreign movie makers to the Land of Smiles, and has been for decades. Many well known movies have been either partially or totally filmed in Thailand. From 'The Killing Fields' to 'Around the World in 80 Days'. Here is our list of the Top 10 English-language movies that were at least partly made in Thailand. There's also some excellent Thai-language films made in Thailand in one of the most prolific film industries in the world. But that's a list for another day. Lights, camera, ACTION… Su su!
The Railway Man (2013)
A Colin Firth movie made partly in Thailand (also 'Bridget Jones – The Edge of Reason', 2004), 'The Railway Man' is a 2013 British–Australian war film directed by Jonathan Teplitzky. The movie also starred Nicole Kidman, Jeremy Irvine, and Stellan Skarsgård. The movie follows a tortured soul and his traumas as an ex-POW who was interred and tortured by Japanese troops in camps around the Thai Burmese border. He returns later in life to Thailand confront his demons.
From 'The Telegraph'… "One of the most striking things about the terrain through which the "Death Railway" linking Thailand to Burma passed, is its extraordinary beauty. Much of the scenery is classically south-east Asian: lush and tropical, fringed with rugged, mountainous mystery. It is the stuff of travellers' dreams. But as 'The Railway Man', the latest film to throw light on one of history's darker chapters reveals, it is also the stuff of nightmares".
The Hangover II (2011)
Hardly high art but a successful sequel to the original 'Hangover' starring Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Ken Jeong. The film was filmed almost entirely in Bangkok and around Phang Nga Bay including Phulay Bay, A Ritz-Carlton in Krabi. The film gives you the impression that you turn left in Bangkok, travel an hour or so, and arrive in Phang Nga Bay. Also the unlikely situation where you jump on a speedboat in Bangkok and arrive in Krabi on one tank of fuel! The reality is you would have to travel all the way south, around Singapore and then north through the Malaca Straits, a journey of three or four days.
The plot… well, anything and everything goes wrong! Tattoos, ladyboys, drugs, kidnapping, car chases, fingers chopped off. That's about it.
In 2011 an Australian stuntman who was injured whilst filming in Bangkok sued Warner Bros. The case was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum. The film had a budget of US$80 million but returned nearly $600 million.
Good Morning Vietnam (1987)
'Good Morning, Vietnam' is a 1987 American military comedy-drama film written by Mitch Markowitz and directed by Barry Levinson. The movie is set in Saigon in 1965, during the Vietnam War. The movie was a major star-vehicle for Robin Williams as radio DJ Adrian Cronauer on Armed Forces Radio Service.
Plot, briefly… man becomes DJ on official military radio station in Saigon. DJ is widely popular with the US troops but very unpopular with some of the military bosses. Man meets woman, man falls for woman, woman's brother is a Viet Cong pimp.
The film is famous for Williams' radio broadcast scenes which were largely improvised. It was a critical and commercial success; for his work in the film, Williams won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor. 'Good Morning, Vietnam' was one of the most successful films of the year, becoming the fourth highest-grossing film of 1987.
The film was shot almost entirely in Bangkok.
Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) and Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
We throw these two Bond films into the same posting but extensive sequences in both were filmed in and around Phang Nga Bay in Southern Thailand. Ko Tapu, a limestone monolith standing all by itself, has become a major tourist attraction in the Bay and has even been renamed James Bond Island in honour of it's backdrop performance in the Roger Moore 'Man with the Golden Gun'. Probably one of the most boring of the Bond franchises but, hey, it spawned a whole new tourism attraction for the region!
'Tomorrow Never Dies' was the 18th James Bond film, this time with Pierce Brosnan with a license to kill. The Ho Chi Minh City scenes were shot in Bangkok and Phang Nga Bay, pretending it was some other asian location.
Heaven and Earth (1993)
Heaven & Earth is a 1993 American biographical war drama film written and directed by Oliver Stone and featuring a stellar cast including cranky Tommy Lee Jones, Haing S. Ngor, Joan Chen and Hiep Thi Le.
It is the third and final film in Stone's Vietnam War trilogy, which also includes 'Platoon' and 'Born on the Fourth of July'. The film was shot in Thailand as the Vietnamese government had decided Oliver Stone liked to depict their country in a negative light (it took them Stone's two other films to figure that out). Town shots are filmed around Old Phuket Town and many of the wider shots of open paddocks and fields were filmed around Krabi.
The film was based on the books 'When Heaven and Earth Changed Places' and 'Child of War', 'Woman of Peace', which Le Ly Hayslip wrote about her experiences during and after the Vietnam War.
It was a box office flop earning only $5.9 million on a budget of $33 million.
Air America (1990)
'Air America' was a 1990 American action comedy directed by Roger Spottiswoode with Mel Gibson and Robert Downey Jr. as Air America pilots flying missions in Laos during the Vietnam War. All the 'Laos' shots were shot in Thailand.
Plot: When the protagonists discover their aircraft is being used by government agents to smuggle heroin, they must avoid being framed as the drug-smugglers.
Budgeted at $35 million, the production involved 500 crew shooting in 49 different locations in Thailand, London, and Los Angeles. Principal photography began on October 3, 1989 and ran for five months but the crew were called back six months later to film a new ending.
The producers rented 26 aircraft from the Thai military, although some of the stunt flyers refused to perform some of the stunts, with 60-year-old veterans being drafted for some of the more nuanced aerial shots. Sidenote: PepsiCo wanted the filmmakers to use a fictional soda rather than show opium being refined at their abandoned factory.
The Killing Fields (1984)
Not only a film made mostly in Thailand but also an Academy Award winner and a fitting story of the so-called Asian holocaust – the reign of terror by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia between 1975 and 1979 where up to 2.5 million citizens were systematically starved, over-worked or killed.
The film focusses on two journalists, Cambodian Dith Pran and American Sydney Schanberg. It was directed by Roland Joffé and produced by David Puttnam. Sam Waterston played Schanberg, Haing S. Ngor as Pran, Julian Sands as Jon Swain, and John Malkovich as Al Rockoff.
At the 57th Academy Awards it received eight Oscar nominations; including Best Picture. It won three, most notably Best Supporting Actor for Haing S. Ngor, who had had no previous acting experience. Directer Roland Joffé said, of Haing S. Ngor's performance… "Haing had been acting his whole life – you had to be a pretty good actor to survive the Khmer Rouge".
From Roland Joffé… "We shot those scenes in the countryside outside Bangkok. Lots of very realistic looking corpses had been laid out. It was all very disturbing: you'd get a crawling feeling up your back during shooting. And there was a real panic when a farmer's wife went out early in the morning and got a total shock when she saw them, poor woman".
The Beach (2000)
The Beach is a 2000 British-American adventure drama film directed by Danny Boyle and based on the 1996 novel of the same name by Alex Garland. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Tilda Swinton, Virginie Ledoyen, Guillaume Canet and, Robert Carlyle. It was partly filmed around Phuket Town and Koh Phi Phi Leh.
Producers got a lot of heat for bulldozing and landscaping sections of Ko Phi Phi Leh beach to make it more "paradise-like" including clearing some of the coconut trees and grass. Local environmentalists weren't going to put up with that!
The lawsuits dragged on for years. In 2006, Thailand's Supreme Court upheld an appellate court ruling that the filming had harmed the environment and ordered that damage assessments be made. Producers had made an allowance for repairing any damage but the 2004 Asian tsunami did its own 'alteration' of the beach.
The crappy old On On Hotel in Phuket Town, depicted in the movie, has had a major make-over since and now a very swish boutique hotel worth visiting anytime.
Did You Know? Ewan McGregor was cast as the main character before leaving due to disputes with the director. It was speculated that Director Danny Boyle was offered additional funding under the condition that DiCaprio be cast and his British character turned into an American (would have been more fun to hear Leonardo doing a British accent).
Around the World in 80 Days (1956 and 2004)
A grand Hollywood epic and a personal passion project for the, then, Mr Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Todd. The epic picture was directed by Michael Anderson and produced by Mike Todd's company who financed the film by selling his Todd-AO 70mm film format. Admittedly, if you blinked, you'd miss the portions of the movie filmed in Thailand. A 2004 version, starring Steve Coogan and Jackie Chan, had segments also filmed in Thailand, posing as a Chinese village. It was a flop. Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia about the original 1956 production…
Filming took place in late 1955, from August 9 to December 20. The crew worked fast (75 actual days of filming). The picture cost just under $6 million to make, employing 112 locations in 13 countries and 140 sets. Todd said he and the crew visited every country portrayed in the picture, including England, France, India, Spain, Thailand and Japan. According to the Time magazine review of the film, the cast including extras totalled 68,894 people; it also featured 7,959 animals, "including four ostriches, six skunks, 15 elephants, 17 fighting bulls, 512 rhesus monkeys, 800 horses, 950 burros, 2,448 American buffalo, 3,800 Rocky Mountain sheep and a sacred cow that eats flowers on cue." There is also a cat, at the Reform Club. The wardrobe department spent $410,000 to provide 74,685 costumes and 36,092 trinkets.
The Impossible (2012)
Shot in 2012 and directed by Juan Antonio Bayona. Hard to leave out this one out as the story was about Phuket, Khao Lak and the Andaman Sea's largest natural disaster – the Asian tsunami of 2004. The story revolves around a British family staying in Khao Lak for their Christmas holidays. The movie starred Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts. Many Phuket extras were enlisted as extras for the movie. If we had one criticism about this film it would be the focus on the single family whilst the disaster killed up to 250,000 who were never referred to in the film.
Honourable mentions
The 'Special Thanksgiving' Award
'Mechanic: Resurrection' (2016). One big turkey. Probably better off un-resurrected.
The 'Blink and you'll miss it' Award
'Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith' (2005)
Shot in 2005, directed by George Lucas, the finale of the original six Star Wars episodes. There were a few scenes filmed around Krabi Province to represent the Wookie home planet 'Kaashyyk'. By the time the CGI crew got their hands on the original footage you'd be hard pressed to recognise the scenery.
'Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason' (2004)
A 2004 sequel of 'Bridget Jones's Diary' and directed by Beeban Kidron that reunites the same cast members: Renée Zellweger as Bridget Jones, Colin Firth as Mark Darcy, and Hugh Grant as Daniel Cleaver. This time, the movie's plot takes them to Bangkok (some scenes were shot along the infamous Soi Cowboy), to Phuket International Airport, Nai Yang Beach, and Panyee Island in Phang Nga Bay.

Two die from heroin overdose in Samut Prakan
Two men have been found dead from a heroin overdose. They were found in a toilet in Samut Prakan Province, south of Bangkok, last night. Police reported that there were no signs of violence on either of the men.
Thai Rath reports that the men were aged 46 and 48. Police reported that they were found in the Samrong Nua Sub-district, and one of the dead men was still holding a syringe in his hand when the police discovered the bodies.
Their families were notified and came to collect the bodies for funeral ceremonies and religious rites.
Earlier this year the Office of the Narcotics Control Board reported that heroin has made a comeback on the Thai drug scene with more young people, mostly unaware of hidden dangers and problems with addiction, were using the narcotic.
A report noted the rising number of young people aged between 15-18 admitted to rehabilitation programs for heroin addiction.
In 2017, 3,744 youths attended rehab for heroin addiction. But that number had increased to 3,980 by 2019. In the 8 months since October last year, the number of young heroin addicts already surpassed 2,900, mostly of new addicts. The report by the ONCB noted that 1 in 3 heroin addicts across Thailand were young users.
Many of the young addicts reported that they were under the impression the substance was not harmful to their health and thought it was some kind of powder that caused a euphoric trance and wasn't dangerous.

By AllanaWren. Woodworking Design. Published at Monday, April 20th, 2020 - 11:44:04 AM.
Do you have a problem with creating designs? Stop being frustrated and order blueprints and plans from people who specialize in this art form. They have the talent to work out the details and allow you, the woodworking craftsman and enthusiast, to physically convert the blueprints or plans into a well made physical creation. They had their fun and you have your enjoyment.
The good news is that these plans are readily available. In some instances they are free and come with additional hints and tips that are invaluable to the beginner.
As a woodworking craftsman, your gift is in your expert hands to bring thoughts into the physical world. Have you decided what your next project will be? Are you considering building garden furniture, a storage shed, pet houses, book shelves, or wooden toys? There is so much to build and so little time.
When it comes DIY woodworking planning is of almost extreme importance as it can spell the difference between a successful and a failed project. The net is replete with stories about woodworking projects gone bad, ones which did not resemble anything their workers had intended and those which simply did not deliver. So it is incredibly important that you find the right set of plans for whatever woodworking project that you might have first. If you want to cut to the important stuff then you can skip and check out some links of woodworking resources I personally prefer at the bottom of the article.
o Through the use of a special device called lathe, one can create roundly shaped woodworking designs. The lathe is used for turning a stock of wood at a certain speed and by applying a certain pressure on it, depending on its size. By using this technique, one can obtain cylindrical and round items like table legs, bawls, cups, sculptures.
Getting a website to help you in your woodworking design needs is really a convenient technique of initializing and finishing a woodworking task without having a headache, and without having to invest a significant degree of capital on unproductive woodworking designs and ideas which are not functional, as their creators claim they are.

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani drop new quarantine love song, 'Happy Anywhere'
There may be a global pandemic, but A-list couple Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are "Happy Anywhere."
At least that's the name of the power couple's latest uplifting country tune dropped Friday, July 24.
The nearly 3-minute song kicks off with a banjo riff followed by Shelton's buttery crooning, "I've always been a rolling stone with a reckless streak. Yet the grass never gets too grown underneath my feet."
Shelton, 44, continues to say that no matter where he is in life, or on Earth, he'll always be happy and at home with his partner of five years, Stefani, 50, by his side.
Stefani — formerly of No Doubt — then joins him singing, "I'm running wide open. I was born with my feet in motion. But since I met you, I swear, I could be happy anywhere."
They repeat the sweet message with the lyrics: "Any map dot location, you're always my destination. You're the only thing that I'm chained to. I could be happy anywhere, I could be happy anywhere with you."
The 44-year-old country vocalist explained that the coronavirus contributed, in part, to why he wanted to release the romantic number, written by Ross Copperman, Josh Osborne and Matt Jenkins. The couple also performed it together on the "Today" show.
"Even though Gwen and I just had a single out, we decided that, under the circumstances this year… man, there's never been a better time for 'Happy Anywhere,' " Shelton said in a press release, referring to their 2019 hit "Nobody But You" from his "Fully Loaded: God's Country" album.
"We've all been in quarantine and lockdown, and hopefully we've been doing that with somebody that we really love and enjoy being around. That's what happened with Gwen and me this summer — and this entire year."
Shelton also debuted a sneak peak of the track's forthcoming music video on Instagram Thursday in a clip that shows Stefani flipping her hair with a big smile as she squeezes Shelton in for a hug. The tune's signature banjo riff plays in the background.
During a livestream to promote the track Thursday, Warner Music Nashville's Shane Tarleton shared that it was Stefani's brother, Todd Stefani, who shot the video while quarantined with the duo at Shelton's ranch in Oklahoma, Entertainment Tonight reported. Often shot in 105-degree heat, the video will also include archival footage ripped from Stefani's phone, which she said will paint "the totality" of their relationship.
"I have the easiest job at this point in my life, and it's a blast to be a country singer and do what I do," Shelton said during the stream. "It's hilarious that listening to the radio the last couple of years that Gwen Stefani is going to be singing the 'countriest' song to come out of Nashville… It's ironic. It's funny."
"Happy Anywhere" comes just ahead of the couple's one-night-only concert with Trace Adkins which will be shown exclusively at drive-in theaters across the US on Saturday, July 25.

Disney Plus Mulan Fails to Make an Impact
Disney Plus's most anticipated movie of the year was Live-Action Mulan, the infamous remake of the 1998 version of the Disney classic Mulan. With a budget of almost $200 million and alot of hard work involved, the film release's expectations and excitement were at an all-time high. Disney's marketing team left no stone unturned in promoting the film throughout the world as Mulan was one of the most influential female protagonists in a Disney movie.
Mulan was known for her power and courage to take a step towards change and create a name for herself instead of becoming a burden for her family. She brought them honor but not through finding a compatible suitor, but through her bravery in fighting amongst the opposite gender when it was considered a taboo.
But did the real Mulan walk in the footsteps of the animated one? Did it create an impact as strong as the classic version, which people love and adore even after 23 years? Sadly, no. The live-Action Mulan was nothing like the 1998 Mulan because it was not supposed to be that way.
The old Chinese folklore inspired the Live-Action Mulan. The Balad of Mulan, which was different, more serious, and portrayed a much more feminist approach by eliminating any romantic or cartoonish elements or characters from the remake.
The elimination of the character of Mushu came as a surprise for all the die-hard Mulan fans who were anticipating the voice-over of Eddie Murphy in a better-animated dragon who is by Mulan's side, aiding in tough times. We did see a dragon, but it was a silent companion only coming in need. The remake also got rid of all the eventful songs which were hummed as we watched the animated version all the time.
Another setback was the mediocre release of Mulan during the Pandemic, which basically ruined the official March release. Mulan eventually made the screen on September 4 on Disney+ Premier Access, a pay-to-view for $30 across the US. In contrast, countries where Covid-19 was under control, saw a theater release like China. But that hardly made 50% of the total movie budget. Disney hoped to make some dollars in China by accurately depicting the Chinese culture and actors, but that didn't happen either.
Viewers with access to Disney+ also did not venture enough on the Premier Access service. What further disappointed the release was Mulan's availability on multiple torrents and platforms for free in HD quality on its release. VPN users worldwide watched the movie for free without paying a whopping amount of $30 for a single film, while the whole service along with other streaming services cost ⅓ of the price.
Live-Action Mulan was also under scrutiny for shooting in the Xinjiang, the region of China where Uighur Muslims were detained and imprisoned in concentration camps. This sparked outrage over the entire social media, where Muslims worldwide protested against the Chinese government's actions. Disney+ did not state an official apology on their platform, nor did they acknowledge their wrongdoings, probably to stay clear of the Chinese government's atrocity.
Meanwhile, even within China, Mulan failed to impact the Chinese audience as they have a much better take and approach to recreating any Chinese epic or myths. Their cinema is far more advanced in portraying their culture with local actors and a local production house. As we all know, China has a strict censorship policy on international content, and they have an alternate of their own. It applies here as well.
Lastly, the ill-natured tweet of the lead actress Liu Yifei, openly supporting the Hong Kong Police's atrocities when China was implementing new security policies on Hong Kong, claiming it as a part of the Chinese government. The Hong Kong police came under fire for mistreating peaceful protestors and using harsh means to disperse the crowd. This tweet leads to #boycottmulan across the regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Thailand.
Liu Yifei made no outright apology.
Despite so much anticipation, live-action Mulan came under alot of controversy and failed to make a solid impression on the audience, despite holding a strong message for its feminist audience. Wrong timing and a few wrong decisions cost Disney millions of dollars and somewhat tarnished the reputation of their remake sagas.

- 1994
Genre: Documentary
Season(s): 1 season; 5 episodes
Year of release: 2019
1994 is a modest 5-episode docu-series offering the perfect guilt-free, binge-watching experience. The show revolves around a promising presidential candidate in Mexico who stands to threaten the status quo. Seen as a threat by the powerful elite, he gets shot during one of his televised political rallies. If the events of the first episode seem unusual, then what follows is downright bizarre.
Viewers are in store for surreal events backed by actual interviews and real-life footage that ups the ante with each passing episode. 1994 is a fascinating, informative, and rich account of one of the most turbulent times in Mexico. It not only gives viewers a glimpse of the past but also a story that follows a narrative very close to what we're seeing in our present political climate.
- Rise of Empires: Ottoman
Genre: Drama
Season(s): 1 season; 6 episodes
Year of release: 2020
Following the wildly popular show Ertugrul—at least in the eastern part of the world—Rise of Empires: Ottoman features a historic mix of immaculate production value and dramatic re-enactment of the 1453 fall of Constantinople. A Turkish production, the show is entirely in English and revolves around the life of a young Ottoman Sultan named Mehmet. It shows how the 21-year old leader risks everything to conquer a city his father and so many others failed to take before him.
This point marked a crucial juncture in history: The fall of the Roman Empire and the transition of a local regional entity to that of a global superpower. While the show does have its set of drawbacks (such as the frequent History Channel-type flashbacks), the appeal of our protagonist is sure to have viewers in for a memorable ride.
- Wild Wild Country
Genre: Documentary
Season(s): 1 season; 6 episodes
Year of release: 2018
The mere mention of Wild Wild Country in front of veteran Netflix viewers is sure to garner you some respect points. Based on a true story, Wild Wild Country tells the tale of an Indian cult that's decided to relocate to Oregon. What ensues is a series of unusual events as the locals struggle to come to terms with the new inhabits and in particular, the eccentric leader of this cult: Bhagwan. This mini-series manages to capture and re-tell a significant—albeit unusual—event in American history and media and retell it in a way that's sure to leave some viewers scratching their heads!
- Lenox Hill
Genre: Documentary
Season(s): 1 season; 9 episodes
Year of release: 2020
For those looking to embark on a roller-coaster ride of emotions, look no further than Lenox Hill. While we do recommend this docu-series especially if you're a fan of Grey's Anatomy or ER, Lenox Hill is not your average watch. It's a far cry from what you'd call a feel-good series as it reveals the brutal reality associated with people diagnosed with really bad things.
Set in New York, the show follows the story of an ER physician, an OB-GYN, and two brain surgeons that are part of a small-time hospital competing with bigger establishments. It lifts the curtain from the otherwise romanticized emergency-ward that we've grown accustomed to and accurately depicts the struggles of both patients and doctors.
This highly emotional series might not sit well with everyone but if you want to watch a story about individuals that sacrifice everything to save others then this one's for you.
- Borderline
Genre: Comedy
Season(s): 2 seasons; 12 episodes
Year of release: 2016
The Office is the most viewed show on Netflix according to Chicago Tribune which is a pity because its contract is set to expire on January 1, 2021. Enter Borderline, a British comedy series and 'mockumentary' of sorts that follows a similar pattern and humor as The Office. Set in the fictional Northend Airport instead of an office, viewers are quickly introduced to a slew of funny and ridiculous personalities.
The best part of the series is that it has its own version of Pam, Dwight, Jim, and a Michael type-boss. It also doesn't try too hard to resemble its more popular counterpart and a few episodes are enough to make you wonder why more people aren't watching it!

The Advantages of Online Casino Welcome Bonuses
When it comes to online gambling, the industry is thriving in 2020. Although casinos are banned in many countries, people still find ways to enjoy their favorite games of chance. However, considering the level of competition on the market, it may be difficult for a beginner to find a good online platform and take advantage of all offers. In this article, you will learn the benefits of casinos' welcome bonuses.
What Is a Sign-Up Bonus?
As we have already established, the industry is growing rapidly and companies are desperately looking for new ways to attract customers. A welcome bonus is often used by online casinos to get new leads and players in the future. However, the best casino bonuses can be easily used to the player's advantage. Here are the main reasons you should not neglect this offer.
- It saves your money
Quite obvious, right? Well, this is the main reason why you should always use welcome bonuses in online gambling: it is always better to not risk your own money. It is especially true for beginners. Since they have no experience, it is fairly common for beginners to lose their initial investment and be done with gambling for good. However, if you use your welcome bonus as a way of getting the basics skills, the chances of success will rise significantly.
- It allows you to try several games
Another common issue beginners face is a lack of understanding of which types of games they want to try: slots, roulette, baccarat, blackjack, etc. If you use your sign-up bonus, you will be able to play several games and choose the ones you like better. Moreover, you can take advantage of a welcome bonus on several online gambling platforms. That way you will try out even more options.
- It will make future gambling more profitable
Besides beneficial sign-up bonuses, good online casinos usually have great loyalty programs. For instance, the company may double up to five first deposits on the platform. If you invest 100 USD, you will get 200 USD to your account. More money — more games — more chances of winning.
Although a welcome bonus is a great way of upping your gambling game, there are a few things you should pay attention to. Firstly, a good bonus does not equal a good platform. Before choosing a casino, make sure that the company is legal and trustworthy. Since there are many scams right now, it is essential if you want to save your money. Moreover, check the available deposit/withdrawal methods and their terms.
We hope that this article has shown the true power of online casinos' welcome bonuses and how you can use them to your own advantage. Follow our tips while choosing a platform and enjoy the best gambling experience.

In theory, dating apps are a streamlined way to find a partner. They provide a way to meet people on your own schedule and can even facilitate experimentation, helping users code for and discover what they want from another person. There's data that says marriages among people who met on an app are less likely to end after the first year , and the vast majority of Americans think that, ultimately, apps are a good way to meet people.
And yet Although dating apps are supposed to take the headache out of trying to meet someone, many people consider them a necessary evil—or just plain evil. We understand why: dick picks, ghosting, it's not all rainbows and butterflies out there for a woman-identifying person trying to meet someone.

18 Alternative Dating Apps To Tinder
We live in an era where we are increasingly becoming dependent on technology for socializing. The internet now connects people who run short of time and lack a dynamic pace of life. For people who are not much outdoorsy or who have an incredibly busy schedule, finding a soulmate is tough, which is where online dating comes in.
Sign up for these top dating sites or apps, start chatting and maximize your chances of meeting your perfect match. We'll update this list.
For many, the answer is a dating site or app. Nearly a quarter of people have used or are currently using online dating services. For young and middle aged adults years old , this number increases to a third. Given the widespread adoption of dating sites and apps, we wanted to learn how people feel about them. To get answers, we asked more than 4, adults—out of the more than 3 million people who take surveys on SurveyMonkey every day —about their perception and use of these services.
Related: A study on the Me Too movement and its influence on work culture. Online dating services aim to help you meet someone. More than half of young adults years old see dating sites and apps as platforms for casual hookups. Older adults are more likely to see them as a means to helping them develop short and long-term relationships.

But there are apps that offer over 50s dating, and over 60s dating, that will help you meet like-minded people your age without having to sift through countless profiles. Here, our experts show you how to navigate senior dating apps with confidence, and offer advice on whether you should pay for dating apps, as well as tips on safety and how to present yourself.
Ideally, pictures should be shot in natural light and show you clearly — no hiding behind sunglasses or artistic photo angles! For instance, instead of saying you love travel, say what your favourite travel experience has been. Any serious, and respectful, potential partner will be happy to get to know you online first. Sharing bank details, credit card pictures or your signature is a big NO. So, what makes for a successful video call? Wear something you feel attractive and comfortable in, consider your surroundings — is your background neat and tidy?
More: sex apps. One question that regularly arises is whether people are more serious about finding somone to settle down with if they pay for a dating app. This is unrealistic. People on dating apps are only as good as their intentions. Age should be no barrier to finding love and happiness.

The crackdown on the media which started five months before the election has effectively stifled critical press inside Iran.
In the run-up to the June 14 presidential election in Iran, a critical approach from newspapers and websites is highly absent, even compared with previous election cycles.
The outcome of Iran's presidential election in 2009 prompted public demonstrations in the capital, Tehran, and several major cities; the protests were of a size that were unprecedented since the Islamic Revolution of 1979. In the aftermath of the election protests, security forces reacted excessively. Many people were detained, several were killed on the streets and in prison and the Green Movement leaders were put under house arrest. Several reformist journalists and political activists received long-term prison sentences.
Now, with the picture of the 2009 presidential election in mind, authorities are trying to prevent this election from becoming a security issue. "The main goal for those seditionists is to take revenge in the upcoming election and strike back at the system," said Iran's Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi, following the detention of 17 journalists nearly five months ahead of the June 14 election. He added that Iran's aim is to "prevent the emergence of sedition prior to the election." The word "sedition" is the term used for the Green Movement, its leaders and all those who questioned the validity of the 2009 presidential election.
The government's first preventive step was suppression of journalists and the press. The detained journalists worked for mostly reformist newspapers and websites. Moslehi said they were "puppets of world arrogance" and said their arrests have created "havoc" in the network of the country's enemies. In a statement on Jan. 30, the Intelligence Ministry further announced that the arrested journalists were spies and affiliates of the BBC news network and promised further arrests.
One month later, three leading social and political publications — Aseman weekly, Tajrobeh monthly, and Mehrnameh monthly, all belonging to the reformist camp — were banned. Their readers were mostly among elites and academia.

In an interview with Fars news agency on April 26, Deputy Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance for Press and Information, Mohammad-Jafar Mohammadzadeh, called on the country's media to exercise "self control" ahead of the June election. "During the next two months, supervision carried out by [my] department will increase. But we hope that members of the press themselves also exercise self control and publish the news in a responsible manner," Mohammadzadeh said.
A day earlier, the opposition website Kaleme reported that the Ministry of Intelligence had recently summoned the managing directors of leading newspapers to inform them of the "red lines" in covering the upcoming election. According to the report, the editors were briefed by an individual who presented himself as an Intelligence Ministry deputy and warned that any form of "accentuating the negative" in the run-up to the presidential race "would be dealt with severely."
On April 27 — days before the election's candidate registration process began — the reputable Baztab Emruz website, which had been blocked earlier, published an article about a tape known as "the 8 million tape." This was an alleged audio recording of a conversation between President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and some officials that reportedly proved organized fraud in the 2009 election. The website was brought down completely hours later. Ali Ghazali, the website's managing director, was detained on the same day. Foad Sadeghi, the website's founder and editor-in-chief, was arrested on May 18.
One of the detained reformist journalists who was released on bail told Al-Monitor that he was summoned to the Intelligence Ministry a couple of days before nominations started, in order to be informed of their "presence" and "constant control and monitoring." The journalist said, "They reminded me that 'You are still under supervision and shouldn't participate in any activities against the election.'"
The scope of pressure on the media even extended to publications close to Ahmadinejad. The widely circulated IRAN newspaper received a 6-month suspension from a court in Tehran on June 2. The verdict is said to refer to an article published in October 2011 titled, "Where are the political artilleries located?" The article discussed the political views and activities of Ali Larijani, Iran's parliament speaker. Ahmadinejad fell out with conservatives supporting Ayatollah Khamenei in 2011, after he challenged the authority of the supreme leader.
In another recent move, Iran's filtering authority ordered the Mehr news agency to be blocked. The order came after the agency interviewed the managing director of Serat News – which was blocked earlier by authorities. Mehr dismissed the order as illegal, saying that the country's news agencies are supervised by the Press and News Agencies Observatory Committee. The blocking order was revoked by Prosecutor General Mohseni Ejei.
In the run-up to the presidential election, it seems that most of local newspapers and websites have left behind their critical approach toward the election process in order to escape the possibility of suspension of their activities, confirming that security officials have successfully silenced the local media.
In such an atmosphere, the state-run TV and radio (IRIB) has taken the lead — by using a lot of airtime for election and debate coverage — in trying to persuade the population to vote in the upcoming election.
Mani Fardad is a pseudonym for a reporter covering the elections in Iran.

Mac McCutcheon says budgets, redistricting, prisons are priorities for remainder of Session
By Brandon Moseley
Alabama Political Reporter
Tuesday, April 18, 2017, Speaker of the House Mac McCutcheon (R-Monrovia) addressed the Alabama Federation of Young Republicans about his priorities for the remainder of the 2017 Legislative Session.
Speaker McCutcheon said that for the rest of the session, "Our priorities are the budgets." There are just a few weeks left in the session. The education budget is in the House. We are working on that. The State General Fund has passed this House and is in the Senate. "Every year we go into a conference committee to work on the budget."
McCutcheon said, "The next priority is the redistricting issues which was handed to us by the courts." We have 12 districts that have to be redrawn. The redistricting committee is already in place. They are already drawing district lines. There is a possibility of 60 plus districts affected by this, including mine. They had to shave part of mine off to help one of the districts named by the court.
Speaker McCutcheon said, "We go into campaign mode in June. We have got to get this bill out. That has to be sent to the courts. We are pretty sure that the judge will approve the plan we are submitting.
The House still has to address the prison bill. McCutcheon said that the Senate has passed the Senate prisons bill. One issue we have in the House is: "Does it do what exactly has to be done. The prisons we have are old they are dated they are not safe. We have a lot of representatives that are concerned about our indebtedness. We passed a bill in 2012 that has helped us decrease our numbers in correctional facilities. There are two differences between prisons and corrections. A prison is where mean people that do not need to be in society. Corrections includes work release. We can rehabilitate them so that they can be put back into society. We need new prisons for officer safety. We also should be looking at corrections, drug courts, and work release." McCutcheon said that we "should not just concentrate on bricks and mortar, but concentrate on the prisoners themselves."
McCutcheon said that in two weeks we are going to get a ruling from the court on our mental health issue and will go into mediation. I would rather fix this ourselves than wait for the federal court because we can't afford what the court will order.
Speaker McCutcheon said, "The gas tax died in the House on Thursday. I cannot think of any member who wants to vote for a tax. The problems is that we have not done anything in the last 25 years. I have worked on this for three years. I am open to any ideas."
McCutcheon said that President Donald J. Trump (R) has proposed a $trillion infrastructure program; but in Alabama we don't have any money to match. Tennessee is addressing this now. Georgia and Florida have already addressed this. Last year I traveled all over the state and listened to local officials all over the state. When you have a President of Mercedes stand up and say that 2015 was a great year for us but we had a real problem moving our product up and down the highway and we will not continue to expand in Alabama until we fix I-20. We lost the Volkswagen plant partly because Chattanooga had the roads and Alabama could only promise to build the roads.
Speaker McCutcheon said, "If we are going to be competitive we have to improve our infrastructure. A no vote is always the easiest. A no vote is a safe easy vote. I am open to fees, indexing, or a transportation fee added on to car tag renewals."
McCutcheon said of the Republicans who refused to support the gas tax, "Some of the no votes don't have any ideas. They just want to go home and vote no and tell their voters that they voted no on taxes."
McCutcheon said that one idea that the legislature is considering is a revenue neutral plan where the legislature increases the gas tax while decreasing the sales tax on food.

Tuberville calls for term limits, balanced budget and lobbying reform
Tuberville has also made a major media buy across the state to trumpet this message.
Senate candidate Tommy Tuberville's campaign began emphasizing key structural reforms that the Republican nominee hopes to advance if elected to the U.S. Senate including congressional term limits, withholding lawmakers' paychecks unless a balanced budget is passed and a ban on former officials becoming lobbyists.
"Only an outsider like me can help President Trump drain the Swamp, and any of the proposals outlined in this ad will begin the process of pulling the plug," Tuberville said in a statement. "Doug Jones has had his chance, and he failed our state, so now it's time to elect a senator who will work to fundamentally change the way that Washington operates."
Tuberville has also made a major media buy across the state to trumpet this message.
"You know Washington politicians could learn a lot from the folks in small town Alabama, but Doug Jones … he's too liberal to teach them," Tuberville added.
Polls consistently show that term limits are popular with people across both political parties, but the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that imposing term limits would be adding a qualification to be a member of Congress and that can only be done by constitutional amendment.
It is an unspoken truth that when Americans send someone to Congress they never come back. They either keep getting re-elected like Alabama's own Sen. Richard Shelby, who is in his sixth term in the Senate after four terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. On the other hand, they may become lobbyists getting paid to influence their colleagues on behalf of corporations, foreign governments or some well funded non-government organization.
Tuberville said he would ban that practice.
A balanced budget amendment almost passed in the 1980s and again in the 1990s.
Since that failure, Congress has increasingly passed bigger and bigger budget deficits. The U.S. government borrowed more money during the eight years of President George W. Bush's presidency than the government had borrowed in the first 224 years of the country combined.
President Barack Obama followed and the TARP program propped up the post-Great Recession economy. Rather than cutting the deficit, President Donald Trump invested billions in the military and a tax cut without cutting domestic spending. The 2020 coronavirus crisis has further grown the budget.
The government has borrowed trillions to prop up the economy and provide stimulus while investing billions into medical research and treating the virus victims. Congress is currently debating a fifth stimulus package that would add more to the deficit.
Both a balanced budget amendment and a term limits amendment would have to be ratified by the states if passed by Congress. Tuberville is challenging incumbent Sen. Doug Jones, D-Alabama.

House passes General Fund Budget
By Brandon Moseley
Alabama Political Reporter
The Alabama House of Representatives passed the state General Fund Budget on Tuesday.
The General Fund Budget for the 2019 fiscal year is Senate Bill 178. It is sponsored by Sen. Trip Pittman, R-Montrose. State Rep. Steve Clouse, R-Ozark, carried the budget on the House floor. Clouse chairs the House Ways and Means General Fund Committee.
Clouse said, "Last year we monetized the BP settlement money and held over $97 million to this year."
Clouse said that the state is still trying to come up with a solution to the federal lawsuit over the state prisons. The Governor's Office has made some progress after she took over from Gov. Robert Bentley. The supplemental we just passed added $30 million to prisons.
The budget adds $50 million to the Department of Corrections.
Clouse said that the budget increased the money for prisons by $55,680,000 and includes $4.8 million to buy the privately-owned prison facility in Perry County.
Clouse said that the budget raises funding for the judicial system and raises the appropriation for the Forensic Sciences to $11.7 million.
The House passed a committee substitute so the Senate is either going to have to concur with the changes made by the House or a conference committee will have to be appointed. Clouse told reporters that he hoped that it did not have to go to conference.
Clouse said that the budget had added $860,000 to hire more Juvenile Probation Officers. After talking to officials with the court system that was cut in half in the amendment. The amendment also includes some wording the arbiters in the court lawsuit think we need.
The state General Fund Budget, SB178, passed 98-1.
Both budgets have now passed the Alabama House of Representatives.
The 2019 fiscal year begins on Oct. 1, 2018.
In addition to the SGF, the House also passed a supplemental appropriation for the current 2018 budget year. SB175 is also sponsored by Pittman and was carried by Clouse on the floor of the House.
SB175 includes $30 million in additional 2018 money for the Department of Corrections. The Departmental Emergency Fund, the Examiners of Public Accounts, the Insurance Department and Forensic Sciences received additional money.
Clouse said, "We knew dealing with the federal lawsuit was going to be expensive. We are adding $80 million to the Department of Corrections."
State Representative Johnny Mack Morrow, R-Red Bay, said that state Department of Forensics was cut from $14 million to $9 million. "Why are we adding money for DA and courts if we don't have money for forensics to provide evidence? if there is any agency in law enforcement or the court system that should be funded it is Forensics."
The supplemental 2018 appropriation passed 80 to 1.
The House also passed SB203. It was sponsored by Pittman and was carried in the House by State Rep. Ken Johnson, R-Moulton. It raises securities and registration fees for agents and investment advisors. It increases the filing fees for certain management investment companies. Johnson said that those fees had not been adjusted since 2009.
The House also passed SB176, which is an annual appropriation for the Coalition Against Domestic Violence. The bill requires that the agency have an operations plan, audited financial statement, and quarterly and end of year reports. SB176 is sponsored by Pittman and was carried on the House floor by State Rep. Elaine Beech, D-Chatham.
The House passed Senate Bill 185 which gives state employees a cost of living increase in the 2019 budget beginning on October 1. It was sponsored by Sen. Clyde Chambliss, R-Prattville and was being carried on the House floor by state Rep. Dimitri Polizos, R-Montgomery.
Polizos said that this was the first raise for non-education state employees in nine years. It is a 3 percent raise.
SB185 passed 101-0.
Senate Bill 215 gives retired state employees a one time bonus check. SB215 is sponsored by Senator Gerald Dial, R-Lineville, and was carried on the House floor by state Rep. Kerry Rich, R-Guntersville.
Rich said that retired employees will get a bonus $1 for every month that they worked for the state. For employees who retired with 25 years of service that will be a $300 one time bonus. A 20-year retiree would get $240 and a 35-year employee would get $420.
SB215 passed the House 87-0.
The House passed Senate Bill 231, which is the appropriation bill increase amount to the Emergency Forest Fire and Insect and Disease Fund. SB231 is sponsored by Sen. Steve Livingston, R-Scottsboro, and was carried on the House floor by state Rep. Kyle South, R-Fayette.
State Rep. Elaine Beech, D-Chathom, said, "Thank you for bringing this bill my district is full of trees and you never know when a forest fire will hit.
SB231 passed 87-2.
The state of Alabama is unique among the states in that most of the money is earmarked for specific purposes allowing the Legislature little year-to-year flexibility in moving funds around.
The SGF includes appropriations for the Alabama Medicaid Agency, the courts, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, the Alabama Department of Corrections, mental health, and most state agencies that are no education related. The Alabama Department of Transportation gets their funding mostly from state fuel taxes.
The Legislature also gives ALEA a portion of the gas taxes. K-12 education, the two year college system, and all the universities get their state support from the education trust fund (ETF) budget. There are also billions of dollars in revenue that are earmarked for a variety of purposes that does not show up in the SGF or ETF budgets.
Examples of that include the Public Service Commission, which collects utility taxes from the industries that it regulates. The PSC is supported entirely by its own revenue streams and contributes $13 million to the SGF. The Secretary of State's Office is entirely funded by its corporate filing and other fees and gets no SGF appropriation.
Clouse warned reporters that part of the reason this budget had so much money was due to the BP oil spill settlement that provided money for the 2018 budget and $97 million for the 2019 budget. Clouse said they elected to make a $13 million repayment to the Alabama Trust fund that was not due until 2020 but that is all that was held over for 2020.
Clouse predicted that the Legislature will have to make some hard decisions about revenue in next year's session.

Day Care bill delayed for second time on Senate floor, may be back Thursday
By Samuel Mattison
Alabama Political Reporter
The day care bill, which would license certain day care centers in Alabama, was once again delayed on the state Senate floor after one lawmaker requested more information.
Its brief appearance Tuesday ended with state Sen. Gerald Dial, R-Lineville, saying a compromise had not yet been worked out with the bill's detractors.
Alabama's Senate has been hesitant to act on the legislation because of complaints of state Sen. Shay Shelnutt, R-Trussville, who has been an opponent of the bill since its introduction last year. The bill's delay on Tuesday marks the second time its been taken off the Senate's agenda.
The bill has had a rocky time in this year's session, but the bill's sponsor state Rep. Pebblin Warren, D-Tuskegee, said she is still confident about its passage out of the Legislature.
Warren, D-Tuskegee, filed the bill this session with the support of influential lawmakers including Gov. Kay Ivey, who told reporters last year that she though all day cares should be licensed.
Mainly sparked by the death of 5-year-old boy in the care of a unlicensed day care worker, the bill had great momentum coming into this year' session.
Despite the growing support from lawmakers, Religious groups had concerns that the bill would increase state-sponsored reach into religious day cares in churches and non-profit groups.
Spearheading the dissenters was Alabama Citizens Action Program, a conservative religious-based PAC.
Warren, proponents, and ALCAP announced a compromise to the bill while it was still in the Alabama House.
Announced by ALCAP originally, the new bill was a weaker version in that it did not require that all day cares in the state be regulated. Instead, religious-based day cares would only need to be registered if they received federal funds. At a Senate committee meeting in February, Warren said a similar requirement was about to come from federal law in Congress.
The bill moved through the House in a overwhelming vote in favor of the proposal and passed unanimously out of a Senate committee a few weeks ago.
Warren, speaking to reporters after its passage from the House, said she was unsure if the bill would encounter resistance in the upper chamber.
It was the Senate that killed the daycare bill last year amid a cramped last day where senators took the bill off the floor. The bill may face similar complications this year, as lawmakers seem to be preparing to adjourn within a few weeks.

Fantasy sports bill fails on Senate floor
By Samuel Mattison
Alabama Political Reporter
Would-be Fantasy Sports players in Alabama will have to wait to legally play in the state following a Senate vote on Tuesday.
The Alabama Senate decisively killed a bill to exempt fantasy sports from the state's prohibition on gambling.
Not even entertaining a debate on the Senate floor, the proposal was killed during a vote for the Budget Isolation Resolution, which is usually a formality vote preluding a debate.
Fantasy sports are contests where participants select players from real teams to compete on fantasy teams using the real-world players' stats.
Since 2016, the practice has been illegal in Alabama following a legal decision by the Attorney General's Office that categorized it as gambling.
The bill's sponsor, state Sen. Paul Sanford, R-Huntsville, predicted the bill's failure during a committee meeting two weeks ago, where the bill passed unanimously.
- Sen. Paul Sanford speaks to reporters after a Senate Committee meeting on Feb. 28, 2018. (Samuel Mattison/APR)
Speaking to reporter's after the committee meeting, Sanford said the decision to file the bill was mainly a philosophical belief that the practice shouldn't be illegal.
Sanford, a fantasy sports player before its ban, said that fantasy sports are a way to bring people closer together and not a means to win money. The Huntsville senator is not seeking re-election.
The bill's failure in the Senate follows its trajectory last year too. A similar version of the bill, also sponsored by Sanford, failed in the Senate during the final days of the 2017 Legislative Session.
Since Sanford is retiring, it is unclear if the bill will even come back next session, or if it will even have a Senate sponsor.
