'HappySad' makes history in Tobago; has NY premiere at Riverside's ADFF
Misani | 8/24/2011, 4:01 p.m.
The much-beloved, internationally acclaimed actor Bill Cobbs is well cast in the role of Cephas. He kept the women at the ADFF screening sucking their teeth, giving him advice as well as laughing. Yes, this well-written, brilliantly directed and acted character is a piece of work--one who many of us will recognize. Yet, as we get to know him, we find out why he behaves the way he does. Like so many men who have been hurt, they mask their pain with women and alcohol, never getting to the root of the problem to work through and exorcise it. Wynter and Cobbs do a superb job in working through to the metamorphosis of this character.
Cobbs, the sole American actor, is joined by a strong group of veteran Trinidadian actors as well as newcomers from the Tobago Theatre School. In addition to McKenzie in the role of role of Grandma, the other characters in this tight ensemble are: Roma (Eunice Alleyne), Ray (Nigel Auguste), Dean (Duane Dixon), Lisa (Samara Lallo), Irene (Lourie Leesing) and the security guard (Wayne Leesing). Both Mckenzie and Alleyne are seasoned, top actresses in T&T who are widely known and respected throughout the Caribbean.
The leading role of Mandy is a break-out role for Ross, who does an outstanding job as an angry, distrustful teen who finds it challenging to get too close to people, especially the opposite sex. Having seen the challenges of life that have landed her mother in prison, Mandy is determined to procure a scholarship to college. To do so, she's chosen her talent as an athlete to propel her toward her goal, first playing soccer in Trinidad, then running track in Tobago.
Again, Wilson's writing richly comes to fore. His choice of using racing as a metaphor for Mandy is on point for, in fact, this young woman is racing for her life. The character of the female track and field coach is also on point. With Mandy's mother incarcerated, the astute screenwriter has surrounded her with two strong women--grandma and her coach--who, without verbalizing it, has become her mentor.
Another form of support that the writer created is multi-generational, extended family that which Mandy finds herself in for the first time. It's a situation that is somewhat challenging to the only child/loner. In addition to her father and great-uncle, her life now includes a musician/wannabe boyfriend and her male and female cousins.
One of the underlying themes of this film is that of secrets. Everyone in this story is haunted by a secret, which as Wynter pointed out the post-screening discussion, is very Caribbean in nature. The interesting thing is that these secrets are universal things that have happened to many people. Yet, part of the Caribbean upbringing is to not discuss them. Amongst the disturbing secrets of the film are child abuse, incest, rape , abuse, teen-age pregnancy, sexism and honor. On the other hand, what is considered cool to discuss is being macho and a womanizer. And this, too, is a real-life part of the Caribbean culture.

On Wednesday, U.S. Commander and Chief Donald Trump said that if the nation wanted to see the report being prepared by Special Counsel Robert Mueller on the alleged Russian interference in the presidential campaign and elections, held in 2016, he wouldn't stop it. The investigation and report will also include any possible links to the Trump emperor and campaign.
The report being prepared by Robert Mueller on his investigation and findings is to be submitted to the U.S. Attorney General William Barr, which will include Russia's role, if any, in the election and also if Trump illegally sought to hinder the initial probe. Trump has vehemently denied any form of collusion and/or obstruction. Russia too has denied any interference in the elections of 2016.

Sierra Leone's President Julius Maada Bio has sacked all political appointees at the country's foreign missions including ambassadors and information attachés. He has also retired all workers in the public service who have attained the age of 60, except those under special employment approved by parliament.
Here are the measures announced on Wednesday:
*With immediate effect, purchase of vehicles by all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and public corporations has been banned until a new Fleet Management Policy is put in place.
*Payment for fuel, telephone and internet services to public servants in Ministries, Departments and Agencies for their residences are suspended with immediate effect pending a new benefit policy.
*All commitments by MDAs relating to overseas travel including cost of tickets should be within their approved budgets and must be cleared with the Ministry of Finance to ensure they are cost-effective and within budgetary limits.
*In line with Section 23 of the Bank of Sierra Leone Act 2011, prices for contracts shall be quoted and payable only in the local currency (Leone). All existing contracts already quoted in foreign currency shall therefore be paid in Leones.
*All new contracts by MDAs and public corporations should be cleared by the Ministry of Finance to ensure they do not constitute a financial risk to the national budget.
The executive order came as parliamentarians went into fisticuffs on Wednesday after they were sworn-in. Members of Sierra Leone's opposition All People's Congress walked out of parliament after police escorted at least 15 of their colleagues from the chamber for disrupting proceedings. The new parliament elected Abass Bundu of the ruling Sierra Leone's People's Party as speaker despite the absences.
He received 71 votes, less than half of the 146 members. Local AYV Television said four members of a third party abstained from voting to protest police removing elected officials from parliament. Julius Maada Bio of the Sierra Leone's People's Party was declared president April 4. But the loser is in court to challenge his election.
Sierra Leone president sacks ambassadors
New Sierra Leonean President Julius Maada Bio has sacked all political appointees in the country's diplomatic missions abroad.
President Bio, who has embarked on various measures to reduce government expenditure, also put a freeze on hiring of new employees and purchase of vehicles.
He also challenged all Sierra Leoneans to take an inward look into the state of the nation by asking what it had achieved since independence.
"During my swearing-in on April 4, 2018 as president of the Republic, I said that my election and my new administration is the dawn of a new era to change and transform Sierra Leone. As a nation, we must resolve to use this opportunity to change and transform our beloved Sierra Leone," he stated.
He said Sierra Leoneans would have low-key independence anniversaries since the country is reeling from a cash crunch.
President Bio said the country that has been independent for 57 years, had empty state coffers, adding that government celebrations could only be possible when domestic revenue collection makes 20 per cent of the gross domestic product.
Mr Bio assumed the presidency on April 4, after winning a hotly-contested election on March 31.
Former ruling All People's Congress (APC) party on Thursday announced a boycott of the government over the petitioning of 15 of its elected MPs.
There were chaotic scenes in the House on Wednesday when APC MPs protested the removal of their colleagues who had been slammed with a High Court injunction barring them from attending the first parliamentary session in which the Speaker and Deputy Speaker were later elected.
For the first time, Sierra Leone has an opposition-dominated parliament, but APC does not have an absolute majority.
It believes that the move to petition its members was part of a plot by the ruling Sierra Leonean People's Party (SLPP) to deprive it of its majority.
Armed police forcibly removed the protesting MPs from parliament, leading to the hospitalisation of one of them.
Veteran politician, Dr Abass Bundu, a close ally of President Bio, was eventually elected Speaker, with another SLPP lawmaker being elected Deputy Speaker
The opposition party's leadership described the development as the lowest point in the country's democratic journey and said it had ordered all its 68 elected MPs and 10 APC-controlled local councils not to cooperate with the government.
Regional bloc Ecowas Parliament has condemned the violent removal of the opposition MPs from parliament.

India is one of the top 20 economies impacted by the change in weather conditions.
Furthering the daunting picture painted by the changing atmospheric conditions, the latest report by risk consultancy firm Mapelcroft has Mumbai among its list of cities that are at extreme physical and economic risk due to changes in climactic conditions. According to it, Mumbai's proximity to the coast and the surrounding hilly terrain are the reasons why it is featured in Maplecroft's sixth annual Climate Change Vulnerability Index.
"Pollution generated locally is usually swept away by wind blowing in from the sea. In Mumbai's case, however, it is surrounded by hilly terrains and numerous mountain ranges that lock this air within the area. Also, the extreme humidity tends to hold on to particulate matter for a longer time.
We think it's factors that put it at risk of extreme weather events and climate change," explained Gufran Beig, scientist at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology.
Apart from Mumbai, the other cities under extreme risk include Dhaka, Kolkata, Manila and Bangkok. London and Paris were the two major cities at a lower risk. The 50 cities included in the study were evaluated on three factors — exposure to extreme climate change events, sensitivity of populations in terms of health, agriculture etc and the adaptive capacity of the countries to combat the impacts of climate change.
In the study, India is also among the top 20 countries facing the threat of a significant economic impact brought on by climate change. India's economic exposure to the impacts of extreme climate-related events was recently highlighted by cyclone Phailin. The report highlighted how the storm caused devastation to agriculture and power sectors alone in the state of Odisha, to the tune of almost $4.15 billion.
How it affects economics
South Asian countries are tremendously affected by the condition, even though they are not major contributors to pollution
Sunita Narain, director general of the Centre for Science and Environment said, "We are heavily impacted by irregularities in climate. The poorest countries are not big contributors but are still the most impacted."

CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire) – Two men have been charged with the fatal shooting of Cook County Sheriff's Officer Cuauhtemoc Estrada after he tried to stop a robbery in Bellwood.
Gage Thornton and Brandon Jackson, both 22, are charged with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted armed robbery, said Andre Harvey, director of public safety for the Bellwood Police Department.
Estrada, 50, was getting ready for a family gathering when he walked outside and saw the armed men trying to rob his daughter and her boyfriend. Police said Estrada identified himself and tried to intervene.
After Estrada was shot, his son grabbed his gun and fired in the direction of the robbers to protect his sister but missed, Hector Santamaria, a relative, told the Chicago Sun-Times.
The father of four and grandfather of three was pronounced dead around 9:15 p.m. outside a VFW hall in the 200 block of 30th Avenue.
Bellwood detectives were able to identify Jackson and Thornton via surveillance footage outside where Estrada was shot, Harvey said.
"[Thornton and Jackson] have a little background – thefts, gang related activity, burglaries from garages – that sort of stuff," Harvey said. "Our detectives recognized them and went to their home."
Both Jackson and Thornton were arrested Saturday about 6 a.m. at Jackson's family home in the 200 block of 30th Avenue.
"He won't be able to see me walking across the stage when I graduate from college," Estrada's daughter Cristina Estrada, 19, wearing a pendant in the shape of her father's badge around her neck, told NBC5 in tears outside the family home in Maywood. "He was just a good person, a father. He was always there for us. He just wanted us to succeed in life."
Estrada's family remembered him Saturday as a "beautiful person" who loved organizing family get-togethers and helped start Maywood's Festival Azteca.
"He was generally well-known throughout the community — one of the go-to people when you wanted to talk to a Hispanic person in the community," said former Maywood police Chief Tim Curry, a friend of more than 20 years. "His family should know he was an important person to this community."
Festival Azteca — which Estrada and his family founded to celebrate Mexican Independence Day — started out as a family block party in the 1990s and has grown into a three-day festival at Veterans Memorial Maywood Park, said Benny Delgado, 62, a friend of Estrada for more than 20 years.
"He worked very hard and gave lots of hours to fund Festival Azteca, and he organized the festival for many years without making any money," Delgado said. "They wanted the celebration for the Mexican community."
Deglado said Estrada would help other Hispanics with legal matters such as traffic violations and other court matters. In some cases, he'd go to court and translate for them.
Estrada worked as an investigator for the sheriff's police for more than two decades, most recently in the electronic monitoring unit, and was a former U.S. Marine.
"He was an exceptional investigator but an even better man who loved his family, his friends and his country," Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said. "Quite simply, he made this world a better place and will be missed by all whose lives he touched."
A procession of more than a dozen vehicles followed an ambulance with Estrada's body from Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood to the county medical examiner's office at 2121 W. Harrison St.
Bellwood police, Illinois State Police and Cook County sheriff's police are investigating.

Pad Kee Mao is a common late night street food in Bangkok, traditionally served to nightclubbers coming home in the wee hours of the morning - hence the name!
Look for thick soy sauce at Asian specialty grocery stores.
I made this for Dinner today, I subbed the dried Thai-style rice noodles, wide (such as Chantaboon Rice Noodles) for regular rice noodles as I had no time to go to the Asian market, I also used 1/2 a serrano pepper instead of 2 cos the kids were going to eat it too. I added some red and yellow bell peppers to compensate for the serrano pepper reduction and for added colour. We all liked this recipe and I will be making it again, Thanks DeborahB for a great recipe! - 09 Aug 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Very yummy, just a little on the too-spicy side for me (I should have either seeded my pepper or used a half). If you can't find the thick soy sauce, consider mixing 2 tsp of molasses with 1 tsp of reg. soy sauce. I used a thin-cut pork loin chop. It was really delicious, and next time I'll try with tofu for a veggie version. Thanks for the fun recipe! The spiciness was cut down by the ice cold beer I had with the dish. - 16 Aug 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This was an interesting dish to make. Don't get worried if it tastes a little weird while you're cooking it, everything comes together in the end. The ingredients in thick soy sauce are soy sauce, molasses, sugar, and salt. It can be found in a jar in the soy sauce section of an Asian market. Next time I will just try to use regular soy sauce and brown sugar instead because it had a little bit of a weird taste. I think that I kept the noodles in hot water for too long because they started to fall apart into 1" pieces... and I didn't even keep them in for the suggested full 1 hour. Definitely check the noodles while they're cooking so you don't overdo it. Otherwise, the taste was delicious. - 09 Oct 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)

Nikki on Big Brothers Bit On The Side (video)
Nikki was on the panel on Big Brothers Bit on The Side with Loose Women's Carol McGiffin and Big Brother 17 housemate Chelsea Singh. Nikki is always entertaining when talking about the show and what she thinks of the housemates.
This episode she hasn't disappointed and there were hilarious moments when Nikki did her impressions of housemates and told Chelsea that he was punching above his weight in talking about his relation with housemate Jayne. Nikki likes Jayne and wants her to win.
A highlight of the show was when impressionist Luke Kempner used Nikki winning a National Television Award (NTA) for Best TV Contender in 2006 in an impresion and told her she had a great wikipedia page.

Game preview
The New Palestine Dragons are back in the regional, clinching the fifth sectional title in school history and the program's first since 2004 last weekend.
The Dragons advanced to the regional with three emphatic defensive performances, holding Connersville, Greenfield-Central and Mt. Vernon all below 40 points to earn the right to climb the sectional ladder.
This will also be the Dragons' first regional trip as a 4A school after moving up from Class 3A in 2011-12.
NP advanced through a mixture of outstanding defense and strong shooting. In each game, a big third-quarter run pushed the Dragons to a double-digit lead. Against Connersville, runs of 13 and 15 points put the game away. Haley Harrison tied her career high with 18 points and Leah Seib added 13.
In Friday's 43-32 victory over Greenfield-Central, NP trailed at halftime but scored the second half's first 15 points to take an 11-point lead. Harrison's 3-pointer capped the run led by Katie Herron and Seib. Herron finished with nine points and 11 boards, while Seib had 13 points.
In Saturday's title-clinching victory over Mt. Vernon, the Dragons finished the first half on a 10-1 run, then pushed the lead to 30-19 in the third quarter before holding on. Megan Jolly hit nine second-half free throws to seal it. Harrison scored 12 points and Seib 11 as the Dragons claimed their first sectional title in a generation.
The field
The Dragons face No. 1 Pike in the semifinals. Last year's state runner-up, the Red Devils are led by senior Angel Baker (21.7 ppg), one of three players who averages in double figures. Pike is 24-1, having avenged its lone regular season loss to Lawrence North. Pike beat Roncalli 44-26, Perry Meridian 56-37 and Ben Davis 50-45 to win the Perry Meridian sectional.
The second semifinal features Brownsburg and Warren Central. WC posted wins over Heritage Christian and North Central to win its sectional. Junior Shaila Beeler leads a balanced Warrior attack at 11.6 ppg. Brownsburg beat Avon and Plainfield to win the sectional. Freshman Ally Becki leads the Bulldogs with an 11.5 ppg average.
The NP 500
Last week's sectional title game was also the 500th win in NPHS girls basketball history. The program began in 1974-75– one year before the IHSAA sanctioned its first tourney. NP is 500-377 all-time in those 44 seasons, playing under 14 coaches.
Winning mark
The 18 wins are tied for second-most in school history with the 1993-94 team, which went 18-2 under the tutelage of current AD Allen Cooper. Dragon head coach Sarah Gizzi was a senior player on that team. The school record is 19 wins, set in 1992-93 with a 19-3 sectional championship team.
HHC leaders
Leah Seib finished the regular season atop the HHC in rebounding (6.8) and FT percentage (86.4). She was also fourth in scoring (14.3) and fifth in FG percentage (50.7). Megan Jolly was 10th in scoring (10.0), third in assists (3.1) and fifth in steals (2.4). Haley Harrison was fourth in 3-point shooting (32.7).

Imran Khan ready to do anything that would take him to PM House: Bilawal
PESHAWAR (92 News) – Pakistan Peoples' Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has on Sunday said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan is ready to do anything that would take him directly from Bani Gala to the Prime Minister House.
Addressing a public gathering in the provincial capital on Sunday, the PPP chairman while declaring former prime minister Nawaz Sharif-led government as inefficient said that the country didn't progress but the assets of Nawaz Sharif have definitely progress.
He said that Nawaz Sharif led government has just deceived the people as it only knows how to hatch propaganda.
Bilawal went on to say that the economic situation of the country would only improve when there are employment opportunities for the people.
Declaring cricket star-turned politician a liar and wicked person the PPP chairman said that PTI chairman Imran Khan is ready to do anything that would take him directly from Bani Gala to the Prime Minister House.
He accused the PTI chief of using Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's resources to move his politics in Sindh and Punjab.
Bilawal went on to claim victory in NA-4 Peshawar by-election and accused that Imran Khan's kitchen and Jahangir Tareen's helicopter is being facilitated from KP's contracts.
"Why mega-corruption cases in KP were not being investigated and those accused of corruption are siding with them, he questioned.

We had a BLAST last night at our daughter's 9th birthday party! Our host, Taylor was so cute and so much fun! She totally ran the whole thing smoothly. I can tell she enjoys her job and playing with the kiddos, which is very important at place like this. We've done parties for our daughter at other Jumping places before, and the host barely spoke to anyone, which can be a drag. Taylor really did everything for us. All we had to do was talk with the other parents and enjoy the party! She even jumped with the kiddos! We'll probably do her 10th birthday party there too, and we'll be back this winter to jump some more!
We have been to epic air several times and have had couple birthday parties as well in the past and every time has been wonderful! From the moment we got there the host Julio was incredible! He greeted us with such an amazing attitude and made sure that not only my daughter but all her little friends had a wonderful time!
In our mail today we got a thank you note from Julio the host, what a sweet gesture and very well appreciated!
" Our Party Host Savannah was great with all of the kids in our party! She was polite, helpful, and well organized. She made my job so much easier, which gave me the opportunity to take photos and enjoy the experience vs. worrying about having to tend to everyone. Thank you Savannah!"
I really love this place. As a nanny the age gap can always range in what to do with the kids. At Epic Air I find everything. My 2 year old boy loves the new ball shooting enclosure. Of course the older boys love the dodge ball, and the girls are out flipping all over the place. The concession stand has a lot to offer as well.
My teenage son and his friends really love to come here! Their Friday night deal is easier on my wallet and a great way for boys to get all their stress out from a long week at school. Playing dodge ball with your kids is a great way to take any frustrations out on them without actually hurting anyone! 🙂 We really, really love the foam pit, it's exhausting but exhilarating. Very fun place! It is a fun way to keep them occupied and know where they are but they can feel independent without parents hanging all over them telling them to be careful.

I had occasion this week to meditate on the old saying, "If you don't know where you're going, you'll end up somewhere else," as well as its corollary – call it Ashley's Law – "If you don't watch where you're going, you'll bump into something else."
The problem this week wasn't that I didn't know where I was going. The problem was that I wasn't watching my steps along the way and tripped off the path without realizing it. I was looking at the big picture and not the details that made up each thing and affected its outcome.
The result was that I spent a whole day somewhere I didn't want to be and then spent half the week retracing my steps – a path of no little embarrassment and inconvenience. Fortunately none of it involved public failure, and little else was affected, but the point is that I could have been doing something more productive with my life.
It's a lot of effort to pay attention to everything that should be paid attention to, but, perhaps, less effort than not paying attention for a while, flowing along and assuming everything is fine. And that's true of a wide range of things.
It's a lot of effort to track your spending and ensure you're on budget, easy to assure yourself you really haven't been spending much lately, and far more effort to climb out of debt after the fact.
It's a lot of effort to lift our heads from each busy day and crashingly exhausted evening and look ahead at what else might need to be done – but more effort, when the deadlines loom, to try to cram weeks of activity into the few days or hours left.
It's a lot of effort to implement compliance programs and make sure the employees are trained; much easier to assume the company is full of smart, professional people – and much harder (and more expensive!) to defend against harassment lawsuits or government accusations of fraudulent accounting.
In each case, you know where you're going, but you've assumed you can get there on the path you're on.
The thing about bumping into things is that it tends not only to hurt, but to knock you off course. We've all done it: walking from one end of the room to the other, focusing on where you want to be, you stub your toe.
"Ow! Ow! My toe!" you scream, as you clutch the injured organ, hopping and falling about the room and ending up several feet sideways from where you were originally – if you're lucky – or else crashing into something else in a scene of escalating hilarity (and fury, depending on how many people are laughing).
I've always been one of those clumsy people constantly covered in mysterious bruises, and as a child, any time I acquired one, I would howl in protest, "The wall bumped into me!"
But we all know otherwise.

Especially for race games, betting is one of the most exciting hobbies for most people nowadays. As a matter of fact, millions of people are making good money every day from gaming and gambling. Thanks to the thrill and excitement it provides, horse racing is among the most popular games you can earn real cash from placing a simple bet. Actually, most online casinos and sports betting platforms actually have horse racing as one of their main markets. And just to be a bit hilarious, you don't need to be an expert horse rider to place winning bets during a horse racing event or casino game. Nonetheless, there are a few important things to know about racing.
Want to get the most out of your bet? Here are a few things you need to know about horse racing.
1. The basics of horse racing bets
Before betting on horse races, it is important to be familiar with the basics of what horse races are all about. For starters, there are several types of horse races. The most common horse racing types include flat racing, jump racing, steeplechase racing, endurance racing, and harness racing. In addition to this, it is important to understand that it's not always easy to predict the horse that will win the race and that there are various aspects that may interfere with the outcome of your bet. For instance, horse strength, injuries, and past records all play an important part.
2. Betting value matters in horse racing
When betting on horse races, many people make mistakes when predicting the horse that will win the race. Some make their predictions based on how fancy the horse's name is, whereas some consider the color. As much as luck might be on your side, it is essential to consider the more important features such as strength and agility over beauty and horse name if you value your money.
3. Know your odds – The value concept
As a good bettor, the value concept will help you to determine if a certain wager is worth reaching out for or not. Before placing your bet, it is important to consider how much you stand to gain and weigh that against how much you're risking. It is also important to choose a betting platform that provides the best odds, systematically organized for your easy analysis. When looking for such an online platform, rivalo is a good example that you might want to check out.
4. The guiding form
Most horse racing platforms have a guiding form with a bunch of tips and rules that if followed right, can help you place a winning bet. More often than not, how much you understand and follow the guidelines will be a determinant factor on whether you win or lose the bet. It might be a challenge, especially if you are a beginner, but with time, you will absolutely up your game in it.
5. How to bet
How you place your bets will in most cases be affected by your experience. In other words, experience counts when it comes to horse race betting. And needless to say, how you place your bets will have an effect on how much you can win and how many times you do so. When betting, take the time to carefully consider the type of bet, the wager, the race type, the odds, your stake, and the amount you stand to win.
In sum, horse race betting can be a convenient and simple way to earn extra cash while having fun. As a matter of fact, there are so many people who make good money out of race games. Nonetheless, you have to be keen when choosing your betting sites, as not all betting platforms provide the same benefits, odds, and convenience.

Paris France Rue Saint Dominique
Detailed Image is HERE
No need to explain my love to Paris and traveling to Europe. OK, to a traveling in general. I love it! First time I've visited Paris in 1995. That time I lived in Saint Petersburg, Russia; and, a week in Paris was beyond my dreams. A travel company I worked for offered a super cheap deal (though for me it still was 4 times of my salary) and I took off. Next time I went their seven years later. My friend and I celebrated my 38th Birthday.. One evening we were heading to our hotel. It just stopped raining and setting Sun hit the loud streets with the last beams of that day. I lifted my head and all of a sudden saw that Eiffel Tower disappeared. Only top of the construction was clearly visible. Thank God I had my camera with me.
In this painting of Paris street I wanted to portray that feeling I had when I saw the Eiffel Tower in the sun light. Maybe it is not traditional view as all posters in the world would want to picture Eiffel Tower in full its glory. Oh well, I saw it floating in the air.
The girl on the front is just a random Paris visitor. She is rushing home and doesn't even know what's happening behind. I gave her my hairstyle and dressed in my coat and a scarf. I also wanted to put some story into my painting of Paris as I think this city (no matter what they might say) is romantic. Here is my story:
"It was nice fresh evening in Paris. Only second day and She was already in love with the City. Heading home that night and dreaming of quiet dinner she heard a loud boom. The motorcycle broke the murmur of Rue Saint Dominique and made Her turn the head toward the noise. He takes his helmet of and looks in her direction. Her face is lit by the evening Sun and with astonishment of the beautiful Eiffel Tower disappearance..."
You feel the romance here, eh?! :0) .. finish the story yourself..
Okay, back to the Paris paintings. All what you see on it is only artist's imagination, with exception only the Eiffel Tower, Paris, The Sun. Feel my love to that romantic city. I've even created a Gallery that called My Paris Mania where you can find dozens of impressions from my Eiffel Tower and Paris paintings.
This morning the curiosity led me to find a website with 360 degree photos of Paris streets. I loved placing Full Screen feature and look around as I am there in Paris right now:
Happy Traveling!
And I also found an interesting article posted by Fox News on Ten Things You'd Never Guess About Paris. It was an opinion of one writer who came to Paris from America and settled down there. Per his point of view, as an example:
- the less French you speak than better you are
- the French people appreciate American culture more than we think
- the French like tourists
- but French people in general sometimes don't like Parisians (read why)
and much much more :0)

MATTHEW MORRISON and his girlfriend dressed up as the young JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE and BRITNEY SPEARS from their early pop star days.
Birthday boy Matthew Morrison, who is turning 33 this Tuesday, hosted his annual star-studded Halloween/birthday party at the Lure nightclub in Hollywood alongside his girlfriend, Renee Puente, looking like one of the most famous former pop couples from the early 2000s.
The "Glee" star and his lady love channeled Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears, who have gone their separate ways almost a decade ago and are now wed (to Jessica Biel) and happily engaged (to Jason Trawick).
Morrison wore Justin's signature look from his *NSync boy bander days-bandana over his curly hair as well as tinted shades, a loose white polo and vest combo, baggy jeans and a hands-free microphone-while Puente wore Britney's racy "Slave 4 U" outfit from the MTV Video Music Awards-a tiny green top, skimpy shorts, sheer stockings, gold boots with a blonde wig and a even fake snake.
Even funnier was the fact that Morrison didn't end the night without posing for cheesy photos with some of Justin's former band mates, who were also in attendance.
Check out their outfits here!

The Tamil version of the reality show will debut in mid-June and will be aired on Vijay TV, the channel which had also officially announced the show's arrival. Earlier, Mr Haasan was quoted Best Media Info as saying, "When Vijay TV approached me to play host, I funnily quipped, who better than me right. All my life I have been under constant watch and I have been judged on whatever I have done, public or private. But now roles are reversed as I would stand with the audiences and watch these celebrities in the house survive this ordeal."
Bigg Boss will mark Kamal Haasan's television debut. The show will reportedly air at 9 pm on weekdays and 8.30 pm on weekends. Participants, who are usually celebrities, are expected to be 15 in number.
Bigg Boss, the Hindi version, is hosted by Salman Khan and recently concluded its tenth season. Bigg Boss is actually the Indian version of international series Big Brother.
Kamal Haasan will next be seen in action-thriller Vishwaroopam 2.

Yesterday's news that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is suing Facebook for violating the Fair Housing Act was not a surprise to most who work in the housing industry. How the ad tool within Facebook had allowed advertiser to target specific audiences down to race and Zip code (which correlates strongly with economic status) has been a hot topic of discussion for years. These are flagrant ways to violate the Fair Housing Act, but there are also facets to the law that catch many by surprise. A 2016 example shows how a landlord lost in court for refusing to rent to a single mother with a young daughter because the landlord thought the neighborhood wasn't a safe place for them both to live. The landlord thought they were acting in the applicant's best interest, but Fair Housing law defines this, and many other examples, as discrimination.
The seven protected classes under the Fair Housing Act are:
- Race
- Color (interesting that this 1968 law uses the word "color" and it is still on the books)
- Religion
- Gender
- Nation of origin
- Disability
- Familial status
This would all appear to make sense on the surface, but a number of lawsuits since the act was passed in 1968 have brought some unexpected nuances to the legislation. Here's some of the common areas of misunderstanding:
Weird Things Agents Aren't Allowed To Say
The core principle of The Fair Housing Act is that no one can be discriminated against based on their demographic. Race, religion, gender—those are some of the obvious categories. But since being part of a family is considered a demographic it is against the law to have a listing description say something seemingly as innocent as "great for families." I've even heard agents say they aren't comfortable saying "great starter home" because it could get them in trouble with their MLS compliance department. You still see "starter home" from time to time in listings, but nowhere near as often as those types of homes are listed.
Agents are also not allowed to answer questions about the racial makeup of the neighborhood or even how good the schools are. They can point clients in the direction of websites such as the U.S. Census, GreatSchools.org or ones that measure crime statistics and use available data to paint a picture of what's happening on the ground, but agents themselves are not allowed to answer specific questions about anything along those lines.
There are a few methods agents have for getting around this. When you see a listing blurb that talks about a "playground within walking distance" or "large backyard," then you know the home is being marketed as one for families. Agents have also shared the tip of driving clients to visit a listing by taking the long way around to get to the house, particularly if it takes them past the local church or synagogue so they don't have to answer questions about religious demographics.
Who Isn't Protected?
In the example above, the Fair Housing Act covers more than most people realize, but there are other situations where it covers less territory than many would expect. Note how in the above list there isn't a mention of LGBT populations as protected status. According to the Movement Advancement Project, there are 21 states and Washington, D.C., that have their own laws on the books prohibiting housing discrimination against sexual orientation and gender identity. One state (Wisconsin) has a law prohibiting housing discrimination against sexual orientation only. A further two states have laws that interpret the existing laws on sex discrimination to include sexual orientation or gender identity. But there are 26 remaining states that don't have any laws on the subject. Real estate agents who are members of the National Association of Realtors are required to uphold an ethics pledge, which includes agreeing not to discriminate against LGBT people.
When The Fair Housing Act Doesn't Apply
There are a few exceptions to the rules. Most notably if someone is selling a single family home privately, without the use of a broker (often in cases of selling to family or friends), they don't have to adhere to the Fair Housing Act. This is only applicable to someone who doesn't own more than three single-family homes at one time (to prevent developers from skirting FHA rules). Also, if a landlord is in an owner-occupied building with four or fewer units or if a housing organization owns a property and limits residency to its members, the FHA doesn't necessarily apply.
Despite the law being in existence for over 50 years, housing discrimination is still prevalent. According to a 2018 report from the National Fair Housing Alliance, there were 28,843 complaints of housing discrimination in 2017, the most recent year for which data are available. The majority of the complaints were based on disability (57%). Race and family status made up 19% and 9%, respectively. These are just reported cases so we can assume the problem is far greater than what these numbers show. According to a report in the New York Times, Facebook controls roughly 20% of online advertising so the potential for damage is huge. Facebook's response, again from the same New York Times article:
"We're surprised by HUD's decision, as we've been working with them to address their concerns and have taken significant steps to prevent" ad discrimination, the company said in a statement. It added that it had been negotiating with the housing agency over the issue, but that the talks had broken down because federal officials were seeking access to too much user information "without adequate safeguards."
HUD is also investigating other major online platforms that host advertising for potential violations of FHA, such as Twitter and Google. No lawsuits against those entities have been filed as yet.

A new model for business
We need to change the way we do business. We can't keep doing business in the same way. That's the claim from Social Enterprise NI, the voice and representative body for the sector.
The organisation is at the heart of the drive for increasing the awareness of, and engagement of other sectors with their members. "The sector is growing and making a real contribution to the lives of all of society," claims Colin Jess, director of Social Enterprise NI.
The important message is that social enterprises are businesses, like any other SME, striving to be sustainable, generating profit with a strong business plan. The difference is what they do with their profits. Rather than paying dividends to shareholders, profits are reinvested into the organisation for the benefit of their social mission, whether that be to help long-term unemployed, those with disabilities, ex-offenders or indeed any of society who are furthest from the labour market back into employment. Social enterprise generates profits which help support homelessness, children in foster care, recycling and other services for those in their local and wider communities.
"The sector is flourishing," says Jess. "The number of social enterprises joining the supply chains of private and public sector bodies continues to grow as more and more organisations see the benefits of engaging with them. But overall it is about the quality of the product or service and in that regard social enterprises compete with other SMEs in satisfying the needs of discerning buyers.
"Social enterprises want to make a difference and we as a representative body want to change the way organisations think about doing business. Every business should be considering how they procure for their contracts. Is it right that cost and quality are the only contributors to decision making?"
In this regard Social Enterprise NI have been at the forefront of the push for a Social Value Act for Northern Ireland, the only part of the UK without any form of procurement legislation to support social value. Through its continuing engagement with the All Party Group for Social Enterprise, the organisation challenges political parties and lobbies for their support in the quest to establish social value legislation in Northern Ireland. Importantly this now enjoys support across all the main political parties.
However, it is not only in Northern Ireland that the organisation is making its mark. "Through our work and engagement with partners and stakeholders, Social Enterprise NI is establishing its worldwide credibility. A recent linkage with British Council and the visit from a group of Philippine delegates, followed up by a reciprocal visit of our chairman John McMullan to the Philippines in November 2018, positions the organisation and members on a worldwide stage, seeing how its members have assisted and driven post conflict resolution across Northern Ireland," explains Jess.
"If you represent a private or public sector organisation it would be great to talk to you about how you can become a member or be more involved by attending or sponsoring an event, or by including our members in your supply chains.
"Social enterprise is the present and the future of business. Its position and contribution to the Northern Ireland economy continue to grow. It would be great for you to join us on the journey."

2019 TORONTO ANNUAL UKRAINIAN FAMINE LECTURE "Remembering the Terror-Famine: Memory and Meaning in the Early Years of the Cold War"
Saturday, December 7th, 2019
|Saturday, December 7, 2019
|The Vivian and David Campbell Conference Facility, Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy - 1 Devonshire Place
Toronto Annual Ukrainian Famine Lecture
As the anthropologist Rubie S. Watson once asked, "How do people remember events that 'did not occur'? How do people 'remember what is meant to be forgotten"? This lecture will explore the decade between 1945 and 1955, when the Holodomor was "first remembered". It will examine the active construction and transmission of a social memory of the Terror-Famine among post-war refugees from the Soviet Union. It will also consider how remembrance of the Holodomor shaped and, in turn, was shaped by the emerging Cold War.
After 1945, the Holodomor became part of making the case in the West for legal recognition and assistance for refugees fleeing Communism. As the Cold War escalated, famine survivors were increasingly called on as witnesses in a fierce political debate in the U.S. about the nature of the Soviet Union and U.S. policy towards the Soviet Union.
Olga Andriewsky is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at Trent University. She teaches and researches in the area of late imperial and Soviet history. She is the author of "Towards a Decentered History: The Study of the Holodomor and Ukrainian Historiography" (Contextualizing the Holodomor). She has also written numerous articles on identity and politics in late Imperial Russia. Her article "The Russian-Ukrainian Discourse and the Failure of the 'Little Russian Solution', 1782-1917" in Culture, Nation, Identity: The Ukrainian-Russian Encounter, 1600-1945 was awarded the AAUS prize for best academic article in 2004.

The premiere of Scream Queens is still a few weeks away, and in typical Ryan Murphy fashion, we know very little about the show.
What we do know — other than that the cast is the most star-studded to hit prime time TV since Murphy's other horror series — is that there is a masked killer haunting campus.
Alright, fine: We also know that Emma Roberts, who is no stranger to playing the mean girl, is an impressively convincing sorority girl, and if looks alone could kill, she'd be a straight-up assassin.
There are no less than a dozen totally feasible possibilities of who the devilish murderer could be, each more famous than the last. Nick Jonas? Abigail Breslin? Niecy Nash? Keke Palmer? Jamie Lee Curtis? Ariana Grande?!
If Lea Michele is to be trusted, it's definitely/absolutely/without question sorority president Emma:
But Emma is all, stop pointing fingers girl, it's totally you:
Maybe it's both? Maybe it's neither? Maybe we just need to tune in on September 22...
Get some more girl power (and a different kind of slaying), courtesy of these great videos:

Why was the book Main Street by Sinclair Lewis banned by the American Library Association? I want to know specifically why, and what your opinions are about why the book is banned.

I agree with poster #1 as far as the American Library Association is concerned. Perhaps you are confused because they release a list of banned books every year? Also, it does not appear that Main Street met with much opposition. The town of Alexandria, Minnesota banned it in 1921, although it was actually based on a nearby town called Sauk Centre, Sinclair Lewis' childhood home.
In the novel, it portrays an emptiness & restrictiveness in small-town life. Although at the time, many people considered living in a small town to be the ideal, Lewis challenges that with his study of the effect on its residents, especially women. As the main character defiantly states at the end: "I do not admit that Main Street is as beautiful as it should be! I do not admit that dish-washing is enough to satisfy all women!"
I do not believe in banning books of any kind. I think keeping age-appropriate texts in a school library (particularly elementary) is a different matter entirely. I don't consider that "banning", although it becomes tricky in deciding what's appropriate and what's not. It's when people are offended by certain material, & they can't reconcile that with the educational nature of a text that problems occur. However, I feel that especially in high school, students should be free to make their own decisions about texts, rather than having them made for them. Also, many people attack books without even reading them; they simply hear from someone else that there's something offensive in the book. Also, I think as a country we're becoming too insular. We're afraid to read any opinions that don't match our own. Instead of opening a dialogue about difficult subjects, we engage only in conversations that will validate our own views. It is important to read literature that shocks, offends, and stimulates us, because that is how we formulate our own thoughts on life.

I do not believe that you are correct about who the book has been banned by. The American Library Association fights against book banning and keeps lists of books that have been banned. It encourages people to read them.
Some small towns have banned the book because it portrays small town life in a bad light. It makes small town people look like small-minded hypocrites at times.
I can see banning books from children's libraries if they have sexual themes for which the kids who go to the library are too young. But it seems silly to me to ban a book because you don't like the way it portrays people in towns like the one you live in.

Before I get started, a little perspective on the accommodations. As we were five of us, when I first started looking for accommodation, Carlo Creek Cabins came up as a good fit both for location and price. However, the bigger cabins that could accommodate a group of five were unavailable. As a result, I got two cabins – one for three and the other for two of us. When we reached at night, we were surprised to be greeted by a person who was from just up the road (OK, not literally) from us – in Tallahassee, FL. It was a common theme – most folks in the hospitality industry that we met were there just for the summer – except for our Airbnb hosts in Palmer who moved there from Idaho a while back. When we looked at the cabins in the evening when we landed there, in the rain, we were a bit pessimistic about liking the place – especially with common bathrooms situated outside! I was, as always, apprehensive about the presence (though uncommon) of bears in the area! But it turned out to be just fine. I, for one, loved the area. It is close enough to Denali and the rates are decent for the area for sure. I wish we had stayed there all through our Denali visit. To be honest, the common bathrooms that I had been worried about were actually a boon as all of us could use them at the same time – everyone else had either already left by the time we were ready to use the bathrooms, or they were all yet to wake up!
Next, about the transportation within Denali. Private cars were not allowed past a certain point in the National Park, and we were to be in the area for the most part of three full days. We were not planning to get the Tour bus tickets as I had researched that the shuttle buses can get us all the way into the park and the tour bus tickets were a) more expensive and b) liable to be sold out way in advance. When I then learned that there is an option to three shuttle bus tickets for the price of two, I decided that that would be the way to go. We would just get three days of tickets to an area reasonably within the park, and on the day that we had good visibility and weather, we would purchase the add-on option to go all in.
Now, some of this information is not really spelled out in either the Denali National Park website nor in the websites you get redirected to (or it is, I missed it entirely!!): when you purchase your shuttle bus ticket, you are coupled to a specific shuttle bus that goes to a specific point in the park. You could buy a ticket up to the Toklat River on, say, the 8:30 am shuttle bus that goes to Eielson Visitor Center. That means that you cannot take a shuttle bus that departs at any other time, unless of course, that bus has availability. If you decide to get down at an intermediate stop, say, Teklanika Campground, your further journey to Toklat can continue only if and when a bus comes from the Wilderness Access Center (the WAC, or the main visitor area to board the bus) that is going further into the park. We were advised to stay in the shuttle until our destination – it would be easier to find a bus returning to the WAC that had extra space than it would be to find out going into the park. That said, you are free to get down at any of the intermediate stops and spend as much time as you feel like doing – as long as you are aware that there was a chance that you might not get all the way to your original destination.
I decided to get the three-for-two tickets upto the Eielson Visitor Center, as there was the option of purchasing a ticket from there all the way into the park. Besides, at this location, there is enough space to sit, eat, drink water, use the restroom etc. So, I thought that should we need to split up for whatever reason, those of us who are tired or otherwise don't want to go further could wait for the others to go (either further on the bus or on a hike) and return. When purchasing the tickets, you need to specify the timings as well. I used 8:30 am for the first day, 10:30 am for the second day and 9:00 am for the third day (of course, later on I realized that it would be a haul to make it to the 9:00 am departure if coming from Talkeetna!!). That way, I hoped that either on the first or the third day, we could venture further than Eielson – it was out of the question for the second day unless we were prepared to return late in the night (and remember, this is the day we were moving our base from Denali to Talkeetna). There is still more to come on this point, but that will come later 🙂
Eielson Visitor Center is located about 60 miles from the WAC, and is one of two places in the park where you can get water to drink IIRC. The shuttle bus takes about four hours one way to get to this point. Intermediate halts occur every 90 minutes, give or take a few minutes, for folks to get out and use the restrooms and take photos. I had been very antsy about this as well, for fear of wildlife, but was assured that if wildlife was spotted close to the road, the bus drivers are instructed not to let people out of the bus at the stop.
Be that as it may, we were up early in the morning and quickly got ready by about 7:15 am. By now, the sky was much clearer than it was last night. Looking up – in certain directions, one could see blue sky with not many clouds while in other directions, there were clouds. But it was much better than last night. Here is a comparison:
We got to the WAC by about 7:45 and got our tickets ratified and got in line for the bus.
As Hindus, per our religion, one of our gods is Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. His vehicle of choice is the puny mouse. Looking at the animal in front of us on the deck of the WAC, I commented that if the mount is here, surely the god must be around the corner, removing our obstacles? 🙂
