|Travel Security Advice for the United Arab Emirates
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven emirates, each with its own ruler. The federal government is a constitutional republic, headed by a president and council of ministers. Islamic ideals and beliefs provide the conservative foundation of the country's customs, laws and practices. The UAE has a modern and generally well-developed infrastructure, and tourist facilities are widely available. Read the Department of State's Background Notes on the United Arab Emirates for additional information.
U.S. citizens living or traveling in the United Arab Emirates are encouraged to register with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate at the Department of State's travel registration page in order to obtain updated information on local travel and security. U.S. citizens without Internet access may register directly with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. Registration is important; it allows the State Department to assist U.S. citizens in an emergency.
Local embassy information is available below and at the Department of State's list of embassies and consulates.

The workweek for both the Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Consulate General in Dubai is Sunday through Thursday.
A passport is required to enter the UAE. For personal travel of 30 days or fewer, U.S. citizens holding valid passports may obtain visitor visas at the port of entry for no fee. For a longer stay, a traveler must obtain a visa before arrival in the UAE. In addition, a full medical exam is required for work or residence permits and includes an HIV/AIDS test. Testing must be performed after arrival; a U.S. HIV/AIDS test is not accepted. Americans have been detained and deported for testing positive for HIV or hepatitis. Please verify this information with the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates before you travel. It is located at 3522 International Court, NW, Washington, DC 20037, telephone (202) 243-2400. Visit the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates web site for the most current visa information.
The Government of the United Arab Emirates requires that all persons residing in the UAE, including U.S. citizens, have a national identification card. Americans who are working or living in the UAE should visit the Emirates Identity Authority web site for more information on card registration procedures and requirements.
Unlike other countries in the region that accept U.S. military ID cards as valid travel documents, the UAE requires U.S. military personnel to present a valid passport for entry/exit. Please note that U.S. citizens traveling to or through the United Arab Emirates on diplomatic or official passports are required to obtain a visa before travel. This requirement does not apply to private travelers on regular (blue) passports.
UAE authorities will confiscate any weapons, weapon parts, ammunition, body armor, handcuffs, and/or other military/police equipment transported to or through a civilian airport. Americans have been arrested and jailed for transporting such weapons and equipment without the express written authorization of the UAE government, even though airline and U.S. authorities allowed shipment on a U.S.-originating flight.
Please review the Criminal Penalties section of this document for more information on customs restrictions, particularly in regard to the UAE's strict anti-drug laws.
U.S. citizens and citizens of other countries that are not members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) who depart the UAE via land are required to pay a departure fee. This fee is 20 UAE dirhams and is payable only in the local currency.
Information about dual nationality or the prevention of international child abduction can be found on our website. For further information about customs regulations, please read our Customs Information page.
Americans in the United Arab Emirates should exercise a high level of security awareness. The Department of State remains concerned about the global threat of terrorism, including the possibility of terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens and interests in the Persian Gulf and Arabian Peninsula. Both historical and current information suggest that al-Qa'ida and affiliated organizations continue to plan attacks against Western targets; these attacks may employ a wide variety of tactics including suicide operations, assassination, kidnapping, hijacking and bombing. Americans should maintain a low profile, vary routes and times for all required travel, and treat mail and packages from unfamiliar sources with caution. In addition, U.S. citizens are urged to avoid contact with any suspicious, unfamiliar objects, and to report the presence of the objects to local authorities. U.S. Government personnel overseas have been advised to take the same precautions. In addition, U.S. Government facilities may temporarily close or suspend public services from time to time as necessary to review their security posture and ensure its adequacy.
Taking photographs of potentially-sensitive UAE military and civilian sites or foreign diplomatic missions – including the U.S. Embassy – may result in arrest, detention and/or prosecution by local authorities. In addition, engaging in mapping activities, especially mapping which includes the use of GPS equipment, without coordination with UAE authorities, may have the same consequences.
On several occasions in recent years, small groups of expatriate recreational boaters were detained by the Iranian Coast Guard for alleged violation of Iranian territorial waters while fishing near the island of Abu Musa, approximately 20 miles from Dubai. The UAE and Iran have had a long-standing dispute concerning jurisdiction of Abu Musa. Fishing or sailing in these waters may result in seizure of vessels and detention of passengers and crew in Iran. Obtaining consular assistance in Iran is difficult and can only be done through the Swiss Embassy in Tehran, which acts as a Protecting Power, providing limited U.S. consular services.
For the latest security information, U.S. citizens traveling abroad should regularly monitor the Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs website, which contains current the Travel Warnings and Travel Alerts as well as the Worldwide Caution.
Up-to-date information on safety and security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free within the United States and Canada or, by calling a regular toll line, 1-202-501-4444, from other countries. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays).
The Department of State urges American citizens to take responsibility for their own personal security while traveling overseas. For general information about appropriate measures travelers can take to protect themselves in an overseas environment, see the Department of State's extensive tips and advice on traveling safely abroad.
Most travelers to the UAE are not impacted by crime. Violent crimes and crimes against property are rare, but do occur. The U.S. Embassy advises all U.S. citizens to take the same security precautions in the UAE that one would practice in the United States or any large city abroad. Although vehicle break-ins are not common, U.S. citizens are encouraged to ensure that unattended vehicles are locked and that valuables are not left in plain sight.
Incidents of verbal and physical harassment as well as isolated cases involving assault of expatriate women have occurred, including some incidents of harassment by taxi drivers. On more than one occasion, expatriate females have been sexually assaulted while walking alone through underground pedestrian walkways near the Abu Dhabi corniche. Female travelers should keep in mind the cultural differences among the many people who coexist in the UAE and should be cognizant that unwitting actions may invite unwanted attention. Taxi passengers should avoid sitting in the front seat of a taxicab and should be sensitive that "small talk" can be misinterpreted as over-friendliness or even a form of propositioning by some taxi drivers. Victims of harassment are encouraged to report such incidents to the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi or the U.S. Consulate General in Dubai.
In many countries around the world, counterfeit and pirated goods are widely available. Transactions involving such products may be illegal under local law. In addition, bringing them back to the United States may result in forfeitures and/or fines.
If you are the victim of a crime abroad, you should contact the local police and the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate (see the Department of State's list of embassies and consulates). This includes the loss or theft of a U.S. passport. The embassy/consulate staff can, for example, help you find appropriate medical care, contact family members or friends and explain how funds may be transferred. Although the investigation and prosecution of the crime are solely the responsibility of local authorities, consular officers can help you to understand the local criminal justice process and to find an attorney if needed.
The local equivalent to the "911" emergency line in the United Arab Emirates is 999.
Please see our information on victims of crime, including possible victim compensation programs in the United States.
Further information for victims of crime in the UAE can be found on the Embassy website.
While in a foreign country, a U.S. citizen is subject to that country's laws and regulations, which sometimes differ significantly from those in the United States and may not afford the protections available to the individual under U.S. law. As each Emirate has its own independent judicial system, legal procedures and penalties vary throughout the country. Penalties for breaking the law can be more severe than in the United States for similar offenses. Persons violating Emirati laws, even unknowingly, may be expelled, arrested or imprisoned. Americans have been arrested in the past for obscene hand gestures, using inappropriate (foul) language with a police official, and for public displays of affection, such as kissing. Penalties for possession, use, or trafficking in illegal drugs in the United Arab Emirates are severe, and convicted offenders can expect long jail sentences and heavy fines. Engaging in sexual conduct with children or using or disseminating child pornography in a foreign country is a crime prosecutable in the United States.
Drinking or possession of alcohol without a Ministry of Interior liquor permit is illegal and could result in arrest and/or fines and imprisonment. Alcohol is served at bars in most major hotels but is intended for guests of the hotel. Persons who are not guests of the hotel, and who consume alcohol in the restaurants and bars, technically are required to have their own personal liquor licenses. Liquor licenses are issued only to non-Muslim persons who possess UAE residency permits. Public drunkenness and driving under the influence, regardless of one's blood alcohol content level, are considered serious offenses. Persons arrested on alcohol-related offenses are often jailed for many days as they await a court hearing. Penalties may include hefty jail sentences and fines and, for Muslims (even those holding U.S. citizenship), lashings.
Legislation enacted in January 1996 imposes the death sentence for convicted drug traffickers. Since January 2006, possession of even trace amounts of illegal drugs has resulted in sentences of four years imprisonment for foreign citizens transiting the UAE. Some drugs normally taken under a doctor's supervision in the United States, and even some over-the-counter U.S. drugs and medications, are classified as narcotics in the UAE and are illegal to possess. A doctor's prescription should be carried along with any medication that is brought into the country. A person may be subject to arrest and prosecution if possession of prescribed medicines (especially those containing codeine and similar narcotic-like ingredients) comes to the attention of local authorities. The U.S. Embassy's web site includes an unofficial list of such medicines, obtained from the UAE Ministry of Health. Most medications available in the U.S. are also available by doctors' prescription through hospitals and pharmacies in the UAE.
In addition, the UAE's tough anti-narcotics program also includes poppy seeds, widely used in other cultures, including the U.S., for culinary purposes, on its list of controlled substances. The importation and possession of poppy seeds in any and all forms is strictly prohibited. Persons found to possess even very small quantities of controlled substances listed by the UAE are subject to prosecution by the authorities and may be given lengthy prison terms of up to 15 years. Travelers with questions regarding the items on the list of controlled substances should contact the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi or the U.S. Consulate General in Dubai. If suspected of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, individuals may be required to submit to blood and/or urine tests and may be subject to prosecution.
Crimes of fraud, including passing bad checks and non-payment of bills (including hotel bills), are regarded seriously in the UAE and can result in imprisonment and/or fines. Bail generally is not available to non-residents of the UAE who are arrested for crimes involving fraud.
While individuals are free to worship as they choose, and facilities are available for that purpose, religious proselytizing is not permitted in the UAE. Persons violating this law, even unknowingly, may be imprisoned or deported.
If arrested, U.S. citizens should contact the U.S. Embassy or Consulate General for assistance. The U.S. Consul will provide information on the local judicial system and a list of local attorneys. In Dubai, the U.S. Consul can also arrange for U.S. citizen detainees to meet with an ombudsman from the Human Rights Department of the Dubai police headquarters, if the detainee believes he or she is not being treated fairly.
The Government of the United Arab Emirates does not recognize dual nationality. Children of UAE fathers automatically acquire UAE citizenship at birth and must enter the UAE on UAE passports. UAE authorities have confiscated U.S. passports of UAE/U.S. dual nationals in the past. This act does not constitute loss of U.S. citizenship, but should be reported to the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi or the U.S. Consulate General in Dubai. In addition to being subject to all UAE laws, U.S. citizens who also hold UAE citizenship may also be subject to other laws that impose special obligations on citizens of the UAE. For additional information, please refer to our Dual Nationality flyer.
Codes of behavior and dress in the UAE reflect the country's Islamic traditions and are more conservative than those of the United States. Visitors to the UAE should be respectful of this conservative heritage, especially in the Emirate of Sharjah where rules of decency and public conduct are strictly enforced. Public decency and morality laws throughout the UAE are much stricter than in the United States. Penalties for public displays of affection or immodesty can be severe. Travelers have been sentenced to lengthy jail terms for kissing in public. Homosexual activity is illegal in the UAE and is punished by imprisonment. Sexual relations outside of marriage and adultery are illegal in the UAE and have been punished by lengthy jail sentences.
Travelers should keep in mind the cultural differences among the many people who coexist in the UAE and should be cognizant that unwitting actions, including clothing choices, may invite unwanted attention. Isolated incidents of verbal and physical harassment of Western women have occurred. Victims of harassment are encouraged to report such incidents to the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi or the U.S. Consulate General in Dubai.
U.S. citizens have at times become involved in disputes of a commercial nature that have prompted local firms or courts to take possession of the U.S. citizen's passport. Travel bans may also be enforced against U.S. citizens involved in financial disputes with a local sponsor or firm. Such travel bans, which are rigidly enforced, effectively prevent the individual from leaving the UAE for any reason until the dispute is resolved. Although it is customary for a local sponsor to hold an employee's passport, it is illegal to do so under UAE law. Many contractual/labor disputes can be avoided by clearly establishing all terms and conditions of employment or sponsorship in the labor contract at the beginning of any employment. Should a dispute arise, the UAE Ministry of Labor has established a special department to review and arbitrate labor claims. A list of local attorneys capable of representing Americans in such matters is available from the Consular and Commercial sections of the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the U.S. Consulate General in Dubai.
In addition, persons in the education and health professions reportedly have to meet two requirements for validation of their educational credentials at this time – the formal "chain" authentication of academic/professional credentials in the U.S. and the "Degree Verification" process in the UAE. Different UAE Ministries have different requirements in this regard. Determining these requirements with one's prospective employer is strongly recommended before arrival in the UAE.
Please see our Customs Information.
Basic modern medical care and medicines are available in the principal cities of the UAE, but not necessarily in outlying areas.
Information on vaccinations and other health precautions, such as safe food and water precautions and insect bite protection, may be obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) hotline for international travelers at 1-877-FYI-TRIP (1-877-394-8747) or via the CDC website. For information about outbreaks of infectious diseases abroad, consult the infectious diseases section of the World Health Organization (WHO) website. The WHO website also contains additional health
The Department of State strongly urges U.S. citizens to consult their medical insurance company prior to traveling abroad to determine whether the policy applies overseas and whether it covers emergency expenses such as a medical evacuation. For more information, please see our medical insurance overseas page.
While in a foreign country, U.S. citizens may encounter road conditions that differ significantly from those in the United States. The information below concerning the United Arab Emirates is provided for general reference only, and may not be totally accurate in a particular location or circumstance.
The police emergency number and ambulance number is 999. Mobile phones are widely used throughout the UAE, so passers-by usually request emergency police and medical services quickly. Response time by emergency services is adequate. However, medical personnel emphasize transport of the injured to the hospital rather than treatment on site.
Traffic accidents are a leading cause of death in the UAE. According to the World Health Organization, the UAE has the highest rate of road fatalities in the Middle East and one of the highest rates in the world. Drivers often drive at high speeds. Unsafe driving practices are common, especially on inter-city highways. On highways, unmarked speed bumps and drifting sand create additional hazards. Pedestrians should also use great care on the roads of the UAE – over 25 percent of road fatalities are pedestrians.
Country-wide traffic laws impose stringent penalties for certain violations, particularly driving under the influence of alcohol. In the UAE, there is zero tolerance for driving after consumption of alcohol. Persons arrested for drinking and driving are often jailed for many days as they await a court hearing. Penalties may include hefty jail sentences, fines, and, for Muslims (even those holding U.S. citizenship), lashings. Persons involved in an accident in which another party is injured automatically go to jail, until the injured person is released from the hospital. Should a person die in a traffic accident, the driver of the other vehicle is liable for payment of compensation for the death (known as "dhiyya"), usually the equivalent of 55,000 U.S. dollars. Even relatively minor accidents may result in lengthy proceedings, during which both drivers may be prohibited from leaving the country.
In order to drive, UAE residents must obtain a UAE driver's license. Foreign driver's licenses are not recognized. However, American non-resident visitors to the UAE can drive using a valid driver's license issued by his or her state. An international driver's license is no longer required. The UAE recognizes driver's licenses issued by other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states only if the bearer is driving a vehicle registered to the same GCC state. Under no circumstances should anyone drive without a valid license.
If you are in an accident, UAE law mandates that you remain at the scene until authorities arrive. The use of front seat belts is mandatory in the UAE. Driving is on the right side of the road. Speed limits are posted. Making a right turn on a red light is not permitted unless there is a special lane to do so with a yield sign. Parking is not allowed where the curb is painted black and yellow. Digital cameras for registering traffic violations, including speeding, are used extensively on Emirati roads.
Please refer to our Road Safety page for more information.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has assessed the Government of the United Arab Emirates' Civil Aviation Authority as being in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of the United Arab Emirates' air carrier operations. For more information, travelers may visit the FAA's website.

Vision Christian radio station shared this image yesterday on social media. It has a great point that it is important to reflect back on our prayers from the past.
I am able to do this because for many years I kept prayer journals. They were basically day to a page diaries. Every day I would record the things I prayed for and my Bible readings.
This enabled me every few months to go back through my entries and see what was on my heart. I was able to review them and tick many of them off. Sometimes I would write how the prayer was answered too.
This was very encouraging for me and it really built my faith and trust in God. I had answers to prayer about health issues, prayers for my family, work issues, finances, outreach and direction from God.
I can't tell you how many times I saw God come through for me in a difficult situation. There were times when I could see no way forward and God sorted things out for us. In the big things and the small everyday things.
A prayer journal is a great tool to record and review your prayers. It is also a great tool to build your faith and trust in God. When you see God answer your prayers, it encourages you to trust Him for more as you grow.
Maybe a prayer journal would help you?

This article or section contains lore taken from Warcraft novels or short stories.
Lothar is an officer in Theramore's army, most likely a colonel as he is mentioned by Duree as the one who should be sent to Northwatch to investigate recent events rather than Colonel Lorena. It is not likely that he is related to Anduin Lothar, seeing as this would most likely have been mentioned. Therefore, one would assume that Lothar is a decently common surname in the world of Azeroth.

We are pleased to announce the call for applications for the second cohort of the Business Ethics Forum for Young Professionals (BEF-YP)! The mission of BEF-YP is to practically apply Catholic Social Teaching and the classical virtues to business decision making and professional work through business case study discussions. Our goal is to become better professionals and better Catholics by striving to understand and live the virtues and Catholic Social Teaching applied to practical situations. Find the BEF-YP application here. Deadline for applications will be Wednesday, June 1st.
Here are some details about the BEF-YP:
- The Business Ethics Forum (BEF) for seasoned professionals has over 10 years of history in Dallas, Houston and other cities. The format is to have a short pre-read (usually consisting of a news article that presents an interesting business case, along with discussion questions and excerpts from The Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church) and then have a quarterly 75 minute early morning meeting (or lunchtime meeting if the group prefers) for a facilitated discussion of the case.
- BEF-YP has a one-year history of success in Dallas. It is geared toward professionals under the age of 35, mostly under 30. The first group liked it so much that at the end of the one-year program they requested to continue the quarterly meetings and to also have regular brunch and happy hour meetings in between the quarterly case study meetings. Some participants found it pivotal as a catalyst to take their faith more seriously, while they and others also found it very helpful in finding meaning and guidance for their professional work, careers, understanding of business, and ethical challenges in the context of being young Catholic professionals.
- The commitment to participation in BEF-YP is to attend four quarterly case study meetings in the one year program and to do the required pre-read (at most two hours of preparation per quarterly meeting). Additionally there will be optional brunch and happy hour meetings together with the 2015 class.

Exciting finish at West Van Run 5K as top two clock identical times
Sabrina Wilkie and Catherine Watkins finish with an identical time at the West Van Run 5K in a tight sprint to the finish.
March 5th, 2017 by Tim Huebsch | Posted in Uncategorized | Tags: bc athletics, catherine watkins, Featured, running, Running News, sabrina wilkie, track and field, west vancouver, west vancouver run
The top two women at the West Van Run 5K were separated by less than a second in a thrilling finish.
Sabrina Wilkie, the 2016 B.C. marathon champion, and Catherine Watkins, who represented Canada at the 2015 Pan Am Games in the marathon, both clocked 17:00. Wilkie ended up getting the edge in the end as both averaged 3:24 per kilometre.
The race, based in West Vancouver, begins at Marine Drive and 22nd Street and features portions along the Seawall as part of the event's flat and fast course. The West Van Run proved to be one of the bigger races so far in 2017 for Metro Vancouver as snowfall has interrupted certain races, including the Vancouver First Half, this winter. Saturday's 5K had, according to Race Day Timing, 608 participants with another 100 in the 1K.
Finish line photo
Per Twitter, Watkins raced for the first time since last June marking her return to competitive racing. According to her blog, she is averaging approximately 110K in training after overcoming injury that kept her out for the latter part of 2016.
"So much fun to be back out racing," Watkins, who runs for Oiselle, tweeted. "A bundle of nerves before but felt so good and hard once moving! Haven't raced since last June."

Back in October, Wilkie, who represents Mizuno, won the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon in what was her 42K debut winning the B.C. Marathon Championships. Her 2:45:54 clocking is just off a qualifying time for the 2017 IAAF World Championships. (The newly-announced, at least for Canadian athletes, standard for women is 2:45:00.)
Wilkie's 17:00 West Van 5K time was a course record.
In the men's 5K, 2016 Canadian 10K bronze medallist Kevin Friesen outlasted Rob Watson, who, among others, coaches the popular Mile2Marathon group. Friesen ran 14:48 to Watson's 14:55; Watson has the IAAF World Championship qualifying time in the marathon though it's unclear whether he will race in London this summer.

A 10K is scheduled for Sunday morning as the city is currently under a snowfall warning with 5-10 cm of precipitation expected for today. The race will go on as planned, according to race organizers. (The below photo was taken this morning.)

No work was carried out on the Double Deck last weekend as members where elsewhere.
The first bit of news is the Bullied 4DD EMU supporters group has been featured in the Hawkinge Gazette, which has plenty of photos and talks about the history of the double decker and our group's aims.
Last Friday and Saturday Graeme Bevan Stewart and I visited the Railway Museum, York to look at the drawings the museum had. This has turned a little complicated for the following reasons.
- The drawings for the Double Decker are not all listed as "Double Decker". Some are listed as "Prototype" or "DD"
- Also, the wheels were superseded at some point and the museum do not possess a drawing of this.
On the subject of wheels, the Double Decker's original cast wheels, as it was stated on the original website, were only fitted on the trailers. i would like to correct this because they were fitted to the motor coaches too. Also whilst at the Railway Museum, we were able to look through their library and we found several more sources. These will be added to the reference page.
Regarding events; we are due to attend our first event on the 23rd April and also an event on the 6th April. Details are below.
- Best of British Railways. Crewe Heritage Centre, Vernon Way, CW1 2DB. March 23rd (https://crewehc.org/)
- Purley N gauge Show. Riddlesdown Collegiate, Honister Heights, Purley, Surrey, CR8 1EX. 6th April (http://www.ngaugesoutheast.co.uk/)

text: Welcome to Expert Village, I am Schell Michael and in this segment we're going to be talking about your surfers workout. Alrighty, distance is a good thing, endurance is a good thing. So, if you want to do paddling, not necessarily for catching a wave but just for getting in shape and kind of also getting a feel of the ocean, it's great. The more you paddle on your board, the better you're going to feel paddling into waves. Because some people feel like "Oh it feels a little funny, I can't stay on my board, I can't get centered." But if you just get out there, you get past the waves and you just paddle around and just the more and more comfortable you get, it's going to help you so much in to those beginning stages and it's going to make you stronger. So, you know, taking, going maybe down to one end of the beach depending on how long it is, paddling back and forth. Once again check for the conditions, you never want to get stuck out there, can be scary.Yeah. Just paddle around. .

This popular Walpole privacy fence creates a tasteful barrier between the home and the busy road. Securely attached to the homeowners' stone perimeter wall, the fence's dignified look is enhanced by a Yorktown topper. In addition to this shade of brown, Walpole offers stains in many custom color choices from Sherwin-Williams. These are applied with a unique pre-staining process at our own facility. Which means that there is no mess in your yard or garden. As an alternative, when left unstained, cedar will age naturally to a handsome silver gray shade.

A STEWARD was hauled out of St Andrew's by police after appearing to push and KNEE Jack Grealish during his celebrations against Birmingham.
The Aston Villa star, who was incredibly PUNCHED by a pitch invader in the first half, celebrated in the crowd with away fans in the 67th minute after giving the visitors the lead.
Shocking footage appears to show one steward shove Grealish and knee him in the back.
As Grealish and his Villa team-mates climb back over the advertising board and onto the pitch, cops can be seen confronting the man and dragging him down the tunnel.
While Tyrone Mings can be seen angrily arguing with the individual in question as security in orange bibs tried their best to diffuse the situation.
It's unclear what the steward was so enraged about after Grealish put the visitors in front in the local derby.
Grealish's strike proved to be the winner against the Blues to send the Villans up to ninth in the table.
But the match was marred by the shocking assault on the England youth international, who was sent crashing to the canvas after being whacked from behind.
Birmingham have confirmed that the fan will never set foot inside St Andrew's again, while they will personally apologise to Grealish.
The supporter was CHEERED off the pitch by the Birmingham faithful as he was being led away.
Gary Neville demanded the club receive a 10-game stadium ban over the incident, or a possible points deduction.
Speaking to Sky Sports, former Blues boss Gary Rowett said: "It is unbelievable. It's a shameful act of cowardice, it's hard to put it in any other term.
"It's certainly not what you want to see in any game, in any walk of life. Disgraceful to be quite honest."
While Villa legend Lee Hendrie said: "This is absolutely embarrassing. How we can say we have come to watch a game of football, yeah I'm all for the rivalry, I'm all for the banter but that is completely below the belt.
"If you are a Birmingham City fan you are embarrassed to see that. That is the worst thing I have seen on a football pitch."
SunSport has contacted West Midlands Police for comment.

The battle to combat religious extremists is far from over. The persecution of Christians and other religious minorities is a clear and present threat, not confined to the battlefields of Iraq and Syria.
Easter Sunday in Sri Lanka, while the faithful celebrated the resurrection of their Savior, suicide bombers, in a series of coordinated attacks, detonated a payload of death and destruction in churches and hotels across the country. The death toll has risen to nearly 300 with over 500 injured, including children.
Our prayers are with the victims, their families and with the people of Sri Lanka. The Nazarene Fund is prepared to assist the survivors, their families and the destroyed churches. But we need your help. Go to www.mercuryone.org orwww.thenazarenefund.org to give.
- Traditionally, Christianity has been in Sri Lanka for 2000 years with relics dating back to the 6th century C.E. and today, Christians make up 7.4% of the country's 21 million population (about 1.5 million). This is an ancient community and a vital part of Sri Lankan society.
- As of Monday night, reports say the Sri Lankan police have Arrested 24 people in connection with the devastating attacks and the Sri Lankan Government has blamed National Thowheeth Jama'ath, a little-known radical Islamist organization, for the bombings. An official said the group, which had not carried out any serious attacks before, had help from "an international network" although this has not been confirmed and at the time of this writing no group has claimed responsibility.

Subject: CHUCK BERRY DISSCUSSION
(Just askin)
The man is simply fantastic if you ask me and he is a national treasure. All rock & roll fans should take the day off from work on his birthday !!!
As far as not giving one person credit for the invention of Rock & Roll.......why not Chuck ??
The "mainstream" media seems to want to credit Elvis for... ....inventing it....SO WHY not Chuck ???
After all it was he who found a "perfect fusion of country & blues" that you could dance to !!!
And why not credit Chuck w/ inventing rock? Because he's just not the first guy to play rock music. "Sh-boom" by the Chordettes (or is it Chords? I can't look it up now) is usually cited as the first rock 45 rpm recording. But certainly the style was kicking around even before then.
Little Richard likes to claim that HE invented rock 'n roll, and why not? But I think fans of even earlier artists like Louis Jordan could make an even more legitimate claim--some people like to call Jordan's music "jump band" music, but it sure sounds like rock 'n roll to me.
Again, nothing against Chuck. He's definitely a great artist who was on the cutting edge in his heyday. I just wouldn't say that he's the one guy who started it all.
Somehow I doubt if ol drunken Allen Freed had much to do with writing ...."Maybelyne" ???
Check out "The Great 28" !!
You ever check out some of Robert Cray's music ?? I can hear some Chuck Berry in there !!
Racism probably hurt Chuck's record sales back in the '50s, but just about everyone who digs '50s rock these days gives Chuck plenty of credit for being a major player of the era. I don't think Chuck is lacking respect from these fans.
But the question was, why Chuck isn't more known and respected by today's music fans in general--right? And my opinion is that '50s rock as a whole is not all that well-known or influential on contemporary pop anymore. Elvis still has a large following because he had a tremendous impact on white culture back in the '50s, as a personality as well as a performer, and we continue to feel repercussions to this day. He's become an icon. But what other '50s rock musician has that level of popularity? Everyone else I can think of--white or black or brown--is at best a cult star now. Still, when people who know the music talk about the artists who count the most, Chuck seems to always be included.
But Cray hasn't had much mainstream exposure since "Smokin' Gun" came out--what, almost ten years ago? No doubt there
are more than a few musicians around who play styles of rock and r&b w/ direct links back to '50s rock, but how many still get exposed to a mass, and especially young, audience?
I think most contemporary music that young people dig has lost direct links back to '50s rock--which is why I reason that Chuck is not widely revered like James Brown is.
But regarding the debate on whether Chuck should be considered the inventor of rock 'n roll, I have been thinking that he just might be the first rock 'n roll "guitar hero." First one that I can think of, anyway. So he may have at least invented that role. What do you think?
1. In Chuck's autobiography he makes it pretty clear that he knows EXACTLY who he is and what his "position" is.
2. The reason why he is difficult and insist's on using "local" talent when he does live gigs is because hes has learned his lessons well after being ripped off and having to spend time in prison on trumped up charges. At this point I would say that Chuck just wants what's due him.
What more would you have him do at this stage of his life ?

Who can hold on to it?
Those who don't have it
They want it
Those who have it:-
Some give it away
Some hold on so tight
When all is said and done
Both are the same
Power cannot be owned
It is always on a lease
No matter what, that lease expires
While you have it
You can share it and enjoy it
Or you can hoard it and let it destroy you
Power in whatever form or shape
Is a master often disguised as a servant
How you treat it determines your end
Power is borrowed
It never really is yours
No matter how heady it feels
And if you forget that
You will expire
Before your time.

A Passing Ship In the Night
I saw a passing ship
During my midnight hour
It seemed to freely move
Away from where I'm docked
Locked down by ties that bind
I yearn to go aboard
For it to take me away
For there perhaps I'll chance
Upon my delayed desires
Which time and tide forgot
To go I can't, for bound I am
By vows I must not break
So here I stand unmoving
Both night and day unmoving
While yet another ship sails away
Away with my hopes and dreams
Reaching Out To You.
I may not be able to go all the way with you. Afterall, it's your journey not mine.
But if I can come alongside you for a while to help you see your way clearer, to lift your head up from the dust of life and to point you in the right direction, I will be satisfied that I have played my part in your journey to your recovery, to your greatness.
Have a great day.

Pour Me Some Love
Pour Me some love
I wanna be giddy with it
Till I feel alive
You know I'm stuck on you
Revive my glory days
I wanna bloom
Beyond this gloom
My roots go a mile
In search of water
My thirst runs deep
My many fingered roots
Burrow here, there and everywhere
Searching, searching…
Water, just a drop please
You know how I like it
You know how I need you
I'm all fenced in
Can't go nowhere
I'm rooted here
It's dark, it's dry, it's killing
This living ain't working
Revive me
Touch me
If you are there
If you can hear
Reach out….
Water my soul
Pour Me some love
Starve my quest
Quench this thirst
Water, water
Love, sweet love
Pour Me some love
Let's not even discuss it, I can't find the words
You ask me why I trust him
He was there when the suddenlies came
When the billows started rolling
Right in the midst of my serenity
When the thunderstorm came unannounced
On my bright sun shiny day
When all was right with my world
And it suddenly tilted out of balance
Spinning me around like a puppet
I couldn't figure out why
It didn't make any sense
Have you had one of those suddenlies?
The kind no one understands
No one can help, Too gone too fast
Others have experienced it too
I have heard their stories
He only had a cold that won't shift but the doctor said he was at stage four
And must prepare to die
She married the love of her life
The wedding was the talk of the town
And now she can't have any babies
They were just passing by
They decided to help the lady
Now they are under fire. She said they are the culprits
They lost everything in one day
Have you ever had a suddenly
Which you couldn't explain to no one
It is during such times
When the unthinkable happens
That we look for the friend
The one who sticks closer than a brother
I thought my end had come. I yelled and screamed in private
And smiled so bright in public
My heart was bleeding raw. I almost lost my mind
Can't believe it happened to me. This nightmare I had to live with
I longed for some refuge. Anything to stop this terror from swallowing me whole
It's easy to succumb to despair. When you are nearly half dead
Beaten down by a suddenly That you can't even explain
The suddenlies don't care who you are
Their waves will pull you under
The world will stand amazed. When they see the mess you are in
They will snigger and berate, Your excellencies of the past
Forgetting that those suddenlies Can visit any one they choose
But if like me you've come through
Rescued by the Lord
He was with me in the pit. Even when I didn't know it
He pulled me out to safety And ordered my speedy recovery
How can I not trust in him
It is really not subject to debate
He flips it around for me. Bringing joy out of despair
Renewing my strength, Setting my feet on stable ground
Giving me Beauty for Ashes
You ask me how I know it's him?
It is in the middle of the fire, when no one can help
That's where he introduces himself
Wouldn't have heard him any other way
Who refuses the strong hand of help
When no one else can help?
I know him so well now but He has always been here
Standing silently by
How can I not trust him
He has nothing to gain, I have everything to lose
He rules over the suddenlies, That makes other powers shake
And he turns it around for me
How can I not trust him?
He is King over the suddenlies
And I am safe with him
Time Waits Only In Dreams
Another day is over
A new one has begun
But time has no beginning
And no end except for us
It camouflages its passing
With changes in seasons
As if to mark its path
With memories of how we were
Our joys and sorrows
Framed in stills of time
While time itself whizzed on
Time gives us what it can
Junctions at which we have to pause,
To reflect, rest and to take off again.
As if to draw us to chase after it
To try and recover our lost illusions
But time has no time to wait on our whims
Day follows night, day and night and day and
Light follows dark, light and dark and light and
Our senses try to adjust
To events as they unfold
But time does us no favours
It leaves us trying to unravel the present
While gazing at a past we can't seem to let go of
Before we know we are done
Time speeds ahead, not a minute to spare
While we rest and play and work,
And some sleep and some even die
Time does not even stop to blink
It marches on untouched by our human drama
Summer, winter, autumn, spring
Simply loops on which time cycles
Riding on in its pomp in mockery of human frailty
Moving upwards in spirals of motion
Unperturbed by our emotions
Un-delayed by history, it marches on
Never to repeat the cycle of today
It heads for tomorrow at break neck speed
And we chase after never catching up
Time is resolute in its commitment
To move forward come what may
It does not hold on to events that trip us
No matter how gruesome or glorious they may seem
While people mourn the passing of a great one,
And historians record other milestones
The new dawn greets us with the cry of a new born
Another doomed to chase after time
Time does its work with certain conviction
And so must we from one day to the next
So no matter how hard today may have been
We must remember tomorrow is on its way
So we prepare to say bye to the now
Making each ticking second worth our while
Whether we choose to rest, play or work
The choice is ours, now is a gift soon passing on
Intangible memories are ours to keep
While we strive to keep in step with time
Today's events hide the beginnings
Of a new day that will soon pass too
It's no use being in a hurry
Or else you'll miss life which is for living
And still not catch up with time anyway
It's no use withdrawing from the race either
Life is still the time we spend in living
The time you are given is gone when it is gone
Time is on the move, it waits for no one
It has a journey it must complete
And so do you
This is your time, right now is yours
But never forget that with or without you
Time moves on
You can choose to dance or give up and cry
And still Time moves on
Shadows Of Heaven In My Path
I look around this realm
Searching for hope
The certainty that change is coming
I look in the faces close by
They echoed my own disdain
Each wearing that wistful look
That desperate one that says
'We know there's more to us
This reality feels like a dream
From which we can't awake'.
We cry out into the open air
Hoping the wind will carry our voices
Across the oceans and the hills
Though acrid deserts and thick forests
To the place where it all began
We pray without knowing we did
We appeal to one we cannot see
Not even sure if anyone can hear
We cuss out loud when we get nothing back.
We never ever think to look up
Oh no, that's just a fairy tale
We are dealing with real life
We have no time for abstract things
Like a big grey haired man up in the sky
But when we have no where else to look
We raise our faces to the skies
We close our eyes and pretend we are 2
We make a wish and say it's on a star
But It is a prayer from the heart
It's filled with innocence unspoiled by life
Built on hope that there's someone up there
Who can hear us and grant our wish
We plead with heaven while on our earth
We state our case to the rainmaker in the sky
We cross our fingers and hope not to die
We are jostled back to reality
We open our eyes
And everything looks the same
But deep inside we feel a change
Hope is alive, we feel reborn
To stand again, where we once fell
Everyone prays when they are up against the tide
Perhaps not to the man in the sky
But to the one we hope can hear our plea
From deep inside where we can't lie
And maybe one day, we will believe
That love made us and love is God
And when all else fades away
We find ourselves back where we started
Standing naked in our childlike faith
Appealing to a love greater than us
Begging not to be denied
Our requests genuine and bare
Are answered by the one who loved us
Way before we existed in this realm
We finally know that we are known
Beyond this reality which is but a dream
God is real. He heard that prayer.
And now we believe
Heaven does cast shadows in our paths.

Traceability's Impact on International Demand for U.S. Beef
Traceability is often discussed as an attribute that can help open new doors for exports of U.S. beef, and one that other beef-exporting nations have used to promote and differentiate their products in the international marketplace.
by U.S. Meat Export Federation staff
Traceability is often discussed as an attribute that can help open new doors for exports of U.S. beef, and one that other beef-exporting nations have used to promote and differentiate their products in the international marketplace. It is difficult to quantify business that's been either won or lost on the issue of traceability, because requirements vary not only from country to country, but also from customer to customer. In this article, we will cite examples of traceability programs in beef-producing countries and discuss how those programs impact global beef trade.
Thousands of U.S. producers have enrolled their cattle in voluntary traceability programs – in many cases to meet the requirements of specific importing countries. Examples include the age and source verification program that was required for exporting beef to Japan between 2005 and 2013, when Japan only accepted beef from U.S. cattle 20 months of age and younger. Another example is enrollment in the non-hormone-treated cattle (NHTC) program, which is a prerequisite for exporting beef to the European Union.
Traceability increasingly also holds value in the domestic market, where a growing number of U.S. consumers are interested in knowing where the meat they purchase comes from, and other details about how it was produced. While none of the programs supporting traceability marketing claims are mandatory, producers have utilized them to differentiate their cattle and make them more attractive to buyers. Still, the United States is sometimes compared unfavorably to other exporting countries that have mandatory "national" traceability systems for slaughter cattle. This is not entirely correct because USDA implemented a national Animal Disease Traceability (ADT) program in 2013. But in its current form, the scope of the ADT program is limited to cattle and bison more than 18 months of age, all dairy cattle and cattle/bison in exhibitions. This makes the United States something of an outlier among major beef-exporting countries, which employ the following programs:
Summaries of major competitors' traceability systems
Australia's National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) was created in 1999 and became mandatory in 2005. The primary motivation for the NLIS was to ensure continued access to international markets, as Australia typically exports more than 65 percent of its total beef production. But the program has also been leveraged as a marketing tool for Australia's "clean and safe" and "traceability you can trust" advertising campaigns.
New Zealand
New Zealand's National Animal Identification and Tracing (NAIT) program was created in 2006 and became mandatory in 2011. Its creation was due in part to the need to manage bovine tuberculosis, but is also intended to ensure international market access.
The Canadian Cattle Identification Agency (CCIA) was first established by producers in 1998. Canada's traceability program was developed for the containment and eradication of animal diseases. The system identifies where the animal was born and where it was slaughtered, but does not track every movement through the life of the animal. The industry-managed Canadian Livestock Tracking System (CLTS) database can be accessed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to identify a given animal's birth premise in the event of an animal health issue. Canada's movement toward mandatory traceability was accelerated by the need to regain international market access following confirmation of the first Canadian-born BSE case in May 2003. By 2006, all cattle leaving their herd of origin were required to have a CCIA-approved RFID tag. As of July 2010, all cattle were required to have an approved RFID tag prior to moving from their current location or leaving their farm of origin. Mandatory traceability was a key factor in China's decision to reopen its market to Canadian beef in 2012. Although it took several years for Canada to emerge as a significant supplier to China, shipments to China accelerated in the second half of 2015, making it the second-largest destination for Canadian beef.
The National Livestock Information System (SNIG) was originally supposed to become mandatory for all Uruguayan cattle born after 2006. But this deadline was extended a number of times, and the program did not become fully mandatory until 2013. The main motivation for developing this system was to help ensure access to international markets, especially with regard to foot-and-mouth-disease (FMD) related restrictions. Given the small scale of Uruguay's beef plants, product can be traced back to the animal and its farm of origin. Uruguay has used this to differentiate itself from other exporters. The industry's generic logo, showing grass blending into a barcode, emphasizes its grass-fed production system with pasture-to-plate traceability.
The Brazilian System of Identification and Certification of Bovine and Buffalo (SISBOV) was launched in 2002. While it is only mandatory for live animal exports and for certain beef export markets, the system has helped the industry regain access to markets once closed to Brazilian beef due to BSE and FMD, including China and the European Union. Since Brazil is regionalized for FMD, meaning only certain states have "FMD-free" and "FMD-free-with-vaccination" status, traceability helps ensure that exported product is originating from approved states/locations.
Argentina's Animal Health Information System (SGS) was created in 2007 and is mandatory for all cattle born after 2007. It is a key component of Argentina's efforts to maintain control over FMD and regain access to international markets that are closed or partially closed to Argentine beef due to FMD.
European Union
Although the European Union is not thought of as one of the world's major beef exporters, it was sixth-largest in 2015 and its livestock traceability system is highly regarded by its trading partners. In response to the BSE crisis, the traceability program was established in 1997. Over time, this has helped some EU member states regain beef access in key international markets.
Several of these countries export large volumes of beef to China – so is traceability the issue keeping U.S. beef out of China?
Considering all of the issues that complicate U.S.-China trade relations, it would be an oversimplification to say that the lack of a national traceability system is the issue preventing U.S. beef from reentering China. However, traceability is a requirement for exporting beef to China, regardless of the supplying country. Domestically, although China lacks a national system, recent food safety scandals are incentivizing restaurants and retailers to implement food and meat traceability systems. Some local governments are implementing rules that establish basic traceability schemes and record-keeping.
Officials from China have been made aware of the traceability capabilities that exist in many U.S. cattle marketing arrangements in the United States, and have signaled that it will require imported U.S. beef to be derived from traceable cattle. A regulatory review by Chinese officials of the traceability systems available in the U.S. will hopefully take place later this year, and should provide more answers on China's specific requirements and expectations.
Why is regaining access to China so important?
When China closed to U.S. beef in December 2003, it was not a large destination for imported beef, regardless of origin. That year China imported about 57,000 metric tons (mt) of beef, valued at $64.4 million. While U.S. beef captured about 75 percent of this total, demand was limited and China ranked as only the 15th-largest beef importer in the world. With U.S. beef locked out of the market, China's imports dipped below $30 million for the next five years, before jumping to $53.1 million in 2009 and nearly doubling to $103.8 million in 2010. Strong growth has continued in this decade, with 2015 imports reaching a record 495,000 mt valued at nearly $2.4 billion. This makes China the world's fourth-largest beef importer and the fastest-growing market in the world. Its leading suppliers are Australia and Uruguay, but Brazilian beef has come on strong since regaining access in mid-2015. In fact, Brazil was China's largest beef supplier in December 2015 and January 2016, with January imports totaling more than 19,000 mt (32 percent market share).
Regaining access to China remains a top priority for the U.S. beef industry, even though it is increasingly clear that access could be limited to a specific portion of U.S. production. Lack of access to China had a tangible negative impact on certain Asian cut prices in 2015, which reduced carcass value and negatively affected the producers' bottom lines. It is clear that at a time when the U.S. cattle herd is growing and beef production is on an upward trajectory, access to China would help restore value to the beef cutout. Every day that U.S. beef remains shut out of the Chinese market, U.S. beef exports and the value of U.S. cattle are not reaching their full potential.

As a big fan of Mindy Kaling (loved her since The Office) I was excited to see her home featured in Architectural Digest. Mindy hired one of my favorite designers, Katie Ridder, to work on her house. The results are a happy blend of colorful and chic spaces that appear both relaxed and timeless.
I especially love the fireplace mantel above. The mirrors, colorful artwork and bright blue penny round tiles all compliment each other without overwhelming the eye.
PS: Highly recommend Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling, for a light and funny, yet well written summer read.
PPS: Katie Ridder's own lovely weekend home.

WASHINGTON The Senate on Thursday confirmed Gen. David H. Petraeus of the United States Army as commanding officer of the Central Command, the military headquarters responsible for Iraq and Afghanistan, among other areas of operation.
The Senate also approved the nomination of Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno to replace General Petraeus as the top military commander in Iraq.
A date for the change in command has not yet been set, a Pentagon spokesman said.
The vote for General Petraeus was 95 to 2, with only Senator Tom Harkin, Democrat of Iowa, and Senator Robert C. Byrd, Democrat of West Virginia, voting against his nomination. The vote for General Odierno was 95 to 1, with only Mr. Harkin opposed.
In his new position, General Petraeus will take on vast geographical responsibilities across North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.
He will face numerous challenges, including the tension with Iran over its nuclear program, a resurgence of the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and the tribal regions of Pakistan, and mounting demands by the Iraqi prime minister, Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, for a timetable for the withdrawal of American troops.
President Bush nominated General Petraeus to replace Adm. William J. Fallon, who retired in March after public comments that seemed to suggest differences with the White House.
An aide to Mr. Harkin said he opposed both nominations "because he does not believe that either General Petraeus or General Odierno will take us in the direction we need in Iraq, namely setting a timetable for redeployment of U.S. forces." Mr. Harkin also views General Petraeus "as an unapologetic supporter of this misguided war in Iraq, continually toeing the administration's party line," the aide, Jennifer Mullin, said.
Senator Byrd, the longest-serving member of the Senate, said he opposed the nomination of General Petraeus to the Central Command because he saw a need for continuity of leadership on the ground in Iraq. Mr. Byrd also complained that the general had been reluctant to answer questions during his hearing about areas other than Iraq, including Afghanistan and Iran.
"The book is still out on the success or failure of the surge strategy," Mr. Byrd said in a statement. "General Petraeus should bring it to its conclusion before he is rewarded with a promotion."

It is well said that excess of everything is bad. Despite the advantages of cycling, there are few disadvantages too. People stick to the flatland circuit rounds set their minds towards stunts. They feel that it is very easy to perform. As they are out of practice and get injuries. Some disadvantages of flat land circuits are listed below.
Performing the stunts on roads:
People start following the stunts on the highways where they are sharing the roads with cars and other heavy traffic. They do not care for the lane they are using. So, they mostly hit with the other traffic.
Not following safety precautions
Performers are well trained and perform their stunts in the controlled conditions. Normally, people do not use safety precautions such as wearing a helmet, wearing proper shoes, elbows knees and other useful appliances. When they do not follow the standards, they got fined and road accidents.
Difference between indoor and outdoor
These stunts are performed on the specifically designed place. But people encouraged themselves and run their bikes outdoors, where they have to fight with weather conditions. If these are not favourable for cycling, then it is difficult and even impossible to travel on bikes.
Expenses with Biking:
Having a new bike is not a cheap way. Its maintenance costs too much. If It becomes a habit, then it is very difficult for a person who has a very limited source of income.
Social network
A cyclist has a social network of their own. Which uses to travel from one place to another that ruined their social life. This hectic way of cycling makes them limited to this profession only.
Time wasting
Tight scheduling and tough routines make them busy all the time. It is known that excess of everything is bad, so this routine makes it difficult to carry other life duties.
Too much tough schedule
For moderate people, it is only a dream that never comes true. It is not only expensive but also very tough routine for the person who is physically weak. It hurts the feelings of those who are not capable of performing.
Player's conflicts
Players have conflicts among each other that are engaged in the competition environment. They forget humanity and the rights of mankind, which is a feature of a well-mannered person.
As a sport or entertainment, it is good to be a part of BMX flatland circuits. This race has mannered sequence e.g. it has levels like Beginners, Intermediate and advanced. The new learner is kept at the first level where he got the training sessions and after getting the proper training the trainers level is upgraded to the next level. Where the trainer checks the capability and skills that a trainee has, then on the basis of their skills, the level is upgraded or remained at that level. If the process is followed in a proper sequence, then this event is useful otherwise the above-mentioned problems occur.
It is the individual's mindset that how they are acting upon after watching the stunt players performance. Either they got mad to achieve the targets to use short cuts and got troubled, either On the other hand they may get a good decision and join the stages and practice sessions to be a professional and entertain the world.

The Coens will rework the WWII drama that Jolie will direct
Angelina Jolie has enlisted Joel and Ethan Coen to rewrite her WWII drama Unbroken. The film is adapted from Laura Hillenbrand's 2010 book of the same name that chronicles the life of WWII POW Lou Zamperini. According to The Hollywood Reporter, William Nicholson (Les Misérables) and Richard LaGravenese (Beautiful Creatures) both worked on previous drafts of the script.
For those unfamiliar with Zamperini, here's how THR described the events of his life:
Zamperini was a Los Angeles high school track star who raced in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. In 1943, his Air Force plane crashed in the Pacific. He survived without food and water for 47 days, enduring shark attacks, aerial attacks and hunger before washing ashore on a Japanese island behind enemy lines, where he was held as a prisoner of war for two years and tortured by his captors.
Ever since 1987's Raising Arizona, the Coen brothers have generally written their own films, though they did co-write The Hudsucker Proxy with Sam Raimi. If I'm not mistaken, Jolie's Unbroken will be the first movie they've written for another director since Sam Raimi's studio-addled Crimewave back in 1985.

When Erina Malarkey looks at how commercial real estate stakeholders are spending money on marketing efforts, she's in disbelief.
"You have the largest asset class in the world and it currently has one of the most unsophisticated marketing and analytics functions," she said in an interview this week. "People are literally managing billions of dollars of assets with sticky notes, emails, spreadsheets, and whiteboards. It's pretty mind boggling."
Malarkey sees an opportunity to help apartment rental building owners, managers, investors, and developers with their marketing strategies. She's the CEO and co-founder of Remarkably, a new company that just spun out of Seattle startup studio Pioneer Square Labs. It's the 13th spinout from PSL, which launched in 2015.
Malarkey and her co-founder, Anna-Lea Dieringer, previously led a real estate marketing consulting firm in Seattle called VMO. Their new startup follows a similar thesis, but with a new product powered by heavy data crunching tools.
Remarkably analyzes data from internal and external sources to help their clients figure out where they should spend their marketing dollars and ultimately lease their buildings to capacity. The company is building machine learning and automation technology into its software that can provide more robust marketing-related recommendations.
"We bring together this very unique combination of deep expertise with real estate branding and marketing, and then couple it with the powerful capabilities of software, machine learning, and data automation," Malarkey said. "We think that is a pretty powerful and unusual combination."
Investors like what they see — Remarkably has reeled in a $800,000 seed round from PSL Ventures, the venture capital arm of PSL, as well as angel investors such as VTS co-founder Brandon Weber and Cephas Partners Managing Partner Mollie Fadule.
"From the equity side of the business, marketing spend has long been a black hole that owners sink money into with no clear understanding of ROI," Fadule said in a statement. "The Remarkably platform is the future of world-class multifamily marketing, powered by timely analytics and predictive modeling so owners can measure the return on marketing dollars and adjust accordingly."
Malarkey said Remarkably isn't beholden to swings in the real estate market.
"As a market softens, we see huge traction for Remarkably," she said. "When a market is strong and there is more activity in the development cycle, we also provide huge value."
Remarkably earns revenue on a per-building basis, using a traditional software-as-a-service business model. The company will hire colleagues from VMO and plans to have up to 30 employees this year.
Remarkably is the first all-female founding team to spin out of PSL. That fact is not lost on Malarkey. She and Dieringer are champions for women in business and particularly women in real estate.
"It's something we are really humbled by and take really seriously," Malarkey said.
Pioneer Square Labs launched in 2015, using the concept of rapidly testing and validating new ideas before recruiting an executive team to build out a spinoff company. The firm last year expanded, raising a $80 million venture fund for PSL Ventures, a separate entity from PSL Studio.
Recent PSL spinouts include NextStep Interactive, Gradient, Shujinko, and Gemma Labs. PSL Managing Director Geoff Entress told GeekWire that PSL will spin out six to eight companies this year, with the Ventures fund participating in their financings. The Ventures arm will make five or six new investments in companies not associated with the Studio, Entress said.
