THE GLITCH MOB RELEASE REZZ REMIX OF ‘I COULD BE ANYTHING’ (FEAT. ELOHIM).
Ahead of their cross continental journey, the LA-based group have released a stunning remix from Canadian DJ and producer Isabelle Rezazadeh aka REZZ. The rising star has taken the industry by storm with her ground-breaking releases, notably snatching up the crown as Billboard Dance’s Breakout Artist in 2017. Her interpretation of The Glitch Mob’s track ‘I Could Be Anything’ (Feat. Elohim) is nothing less than astonishing. A distinctive bass drum permeates the intro of the cut, ultimately intertwining with Glitch Mob’s core production and Elohim’s hovering vocals. The track moves effortlessly toward an analog heavy drop that is sure to captivate listeners across both distict fanbases.

People could one day have the ability to grow back parts of their bodies after a ‘DNA switch’ that could reactivate the genes that control regeneration were found.
They found that a ‘master’ control gene called early growth response (EGR), which is also found in humans and other animals, is responsible.
Researchers from Harvard University discovered that a section of non-coding DNA – controversially labelled by some as ‘junk’ DNA – controls the activation of EGR which acts like a power switch for the regeneration process.
More recent research has suggested that the picture is far more complicated, including Harvard’s study.
Humans already have the EGR ‘switch’ that repairs cells yet it does not seem to trigger large scale regeneration.
Scientists now think that the gene is wired differently in humans and are now trying to find a way to change this to reap so that we too can ‘regenerate’.
‘What we found is that this one master gene comes on…and that’s activating genes that are turning on during regeneration,’ said Dr Andrew Gehrke, a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard and lead author on the study.
WHAT CAUSES SPECIES TO REGENERATE?
All organisms, including humans, have the ability to regenerate to a degree, but the process is much more developed in many invertebrates such as earthworms and starfish.
These animals can grow new heads, tails and other body parts when injured.
Scientists don’t know why mammals don’t have the same ability, but they do regenerate skin, muscle and blood.
Every multicellular organism is built from a single cell, which divides into two identical cells, then four, and so on.
Each of these cells contains the exact same twisted strands of DNA, and is considered pluripotent – meaning it can give rise to all possible cell types in the body.
But somewhere along the way, those starter cells – known as embryonic stem cells – resign themselves to a different fate and become skin cells, heart cells, muscle cells, or another cell type.
For that process to work the DNA in the worms’ cells, which is normally tightly folded and compacted, has to change, making new areas available for activation.
Portions of these very tightly packed portions of the genome – the full genetic code of the worms studied – physically become more open, experts say.
They act as regulatory switches to turn genes on or off, suggesting their genomes is dynamic and rapidly changing, as different parts open and close.
‘The answer may be that if EGR is the power switch, we think the wiring is different.
‘What EGR is talking to in human cells may be different than what it is talking to in the three-banded panther worm.
‘What Andrew has done with this study is come up with a way to get at this wiring.
The full findings of the study were published in Science.

Bhubaneswar: The state unit of Congress today moved the Chief Electoral Officer against Puri MP candidate Sambit Patra over model code of conduct violation.
A six-member team petitioned the CEO that the BJP national spokesperson used Lord Jagannath’s idol during a poll rally from Bhubaneswar to Puri, in violation of model code of conduct.
“When it has been mentioned by Election Commission of India that no election can be fought on basis of any religion, caste, creed or culture, the election rally of Dr Sambit Patra and the photographs thereof clearly shows the violation of model code of conduct,” the state unit Congress said.
Worth mentioning, Patra was seen holding a Lord Jagannath idol during his rally from Bhubaneswar via Uttara, Pipili and, Sakhigopal en route to Puri.
“An admirer gifted me the idol. As an Odia and devotee of Lord Jagannath, I can never refuse it. I will embrace it and worship it. What’s wrong in that?” Patra questioned.
The Opposition parties, however, criticized the BJP.
“They play with the religious sentiments of people during elections. We won’t tolerate it and allow this to happen,” Congress leader Arjya Gyanendra expressed.
The BJD too spoke on similar lines.
“When elections approach, they bring up Ram Mandir issue. They do politics over religion. We won’t allow them to exploit people’s sentiments,” BJD leader Subhas Singh said.

At night the lights twinkle on the water making a fairyland of a beat-up lagoon. During the day the view is of boats, causeway and small boat harbor. The lagoon is not looking so beat up any more as there has been a lot of hard grind to raise sunken vessels.
There are lovely views across the lagoon to the causeway, at night the lights shimmer across the water.
It is fun to watch small dinghies make their way to tie up at the dinghy dock while contemplating life over a jolly pint of two. Besides the bar there are a number of family style bench and tables at which one can get quite rowdy, if one so desires, for after all this is a pub. Expect pub-kinda high-jinks, it is a fun place.
The menu is unpretentious Pub Food. Keep a look out for specials of the day – there always are some one-off specials – make sure you keep up to date, you don’t want to miss the chance of an evening of shrimp and grits or the “seafood-boil” evenings. Nachos are home fried and come lightly crispy in a basket filled with typical nacho dips – guac, tomato sauce, sour cream and the mince, corn, black bean mix to scoop up; Slight hot you can lather the entire nacho plate from a choice of hot sauce that are lurking about on the tables.
There is a huge selection of beers but being St. Paddy’s night the last time we went it was the Guinness that stole the show especially after a demonstration of how to get a good head in the glass!

Yash Tandon explains the contradictions of ‘imperial finance capital’ in controlling neo-colonial states like Libya. While Gaddafi was being ‘accommodated’ by imperial powers, the ‘Arab Spring’ forced their hand, he says.
To put the West’s case bluntly and simply, it has apparently intervened in Libya to ‘protect the people’ from the ‘dictator’ Gaddafi. This begs the question: whose dictator is Gaddafi?
If there is one third world leader in the whole galaxy of the Empire’s neo-colonial dictators, one who best exemplifies the contradiction between the Empire and a neo-colony, it is Gaddafi. Libya is a neo-colony in the sense that Kwame Nkrumah used the term, and Gaddafi, like Robert Mugabe, is objectively a neo-colonial dictator though subjectively anti-imperialist.
To understand this apparent contradiction, one needs to appreciate the vital difference between a colony and neo-colony. A neo-colony is ruled by the Empire not directly; only indirectly - through its agents in the countries concerned. Whilst a neo-colonial economy, and hence the neo-colonial state, is, in the ultimate analysis, controlled by the Empire - on behalf of global finance capital. There is a ‘government’ that is in the seat of governance, and this government, or regime, is often in open defiance of the Empire. When the Empire talks of ‘regime change’, it means change in government without losing its control over the neo-colony.
To put the matter from the other side, a neo-colony is not, as the term might imply, a docile, submissive, community. It is a community, or a people, still in struggle against the Empire for its full liberation. The people occasionally rebel against the government if they are oppressed or economically marginalised, as, among others, in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, and Zimbabwe. In rebelling against a neo-colonial government, however, the people also rebel, objectively, against the Empire, against the neo-colonial economic and political order. These are two sides of the same coin; they are the same phenomenon. Flip one side of the coin, and you see the face of Gaddafi; flip the other side and you see the face of the Empire. The challenge facing a neo-colonial ‘upstart’ like Gaddafi and Mugabe is how to keep the coin with the face of the Empire visible. Of course, the Empire has the reverse challenge. In the case of both Zimbabwe and Libya, the Empire has been better than its rebellious neo-colonial dictators in keeping the coin with the ‘dictator’s’ face visible at the top.
How has the Empire managed to do this? It has done so by using three weapons: one, by exploiting the divisions among the people; two, by using the ‘humanitarian’ card; and three by exploiting its bigger control over the world media. In both Libya and Zimbabwe, the Empire has been able to portray itself as a ‘saviour’ of the people, an ‘ally’ to ‘help’ them remove the government and put in place one that is more ‘democratic’. This is what is currently happening in the Arab world and many parts of Africa where the people have taken to the streets to protest against a system that is oppressing and exploiting them.
Each neo-colony is different. Each has its own history, culture, economic links with the global economy and ethnic, religious and class configuration. To understand the specific character of Libya and Gaddafi, a bit of knowledge of history is necessary. It is important to bear in mind that Libya is part of an ancient civilisation going back to the Phoenicians in the 5th century B.C., well before the birth of western civilisation. In more recent times, after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, Libya fell in the hands of Italy. In October 1911, Italian battleships attacked Tripoli, bombing the city for three days. Resistance followed under Omar Mukhtar's Mojahideen guerrilla forces. Thousands of Libyans were forced to leave their land and live in concentration camps. Thousands died of hunger, illness and some of them were hanged or shot because they were believed to be helping the Mojahideen. The Libyan historian Mahmoud Ali At-Taeb said in an interview with the Libyan magazine Ash-Shoura (October 1979) that in November 1930 there were at least 17 funerals a day in the camps due to hunger, illness and depression. Mukhtar's nearly 20 year struggle came to an end when he was captured in battle and on 16 September 1931 hanged in front of his followers in the concentration camp of Sollouq by the orders of the Italian court. He was about 83 years old, but he kept on fighting until death. Today Mukhtar’s face is shown on the Libyan 10 Dinar bill. His final years were immortalized in the movie ‘The Lion of the Desert’ (1981). This history, and the heroic resistance put by Libya’s national hero, Omar Mukhtar, go some way to explain the arrogance of Gaddafi towards Western civilisation and colonisation.
This is the legacy that inspires Gaddafi, just as in Zimbabwe it is Kaguvi's spirit (his mudzimu) that inspired Mugabe and the people to fight the second Chimurenga against the British Empire. Coming to modern times, on 1 September 1969, Colonel Gaddafi overthrew King Idris in a bloodless military coup. The British tried to dislodge him (the so-called ‘Hilton Assignment’) but failed. Gaddafi has been in power ever since. In 1977, he renamed the Libyan Arab Republic the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. Gaddafi created a system of ‘Islamic socialism’ which blended Arab nationalism; ‘direct, popular democracy‘; aspects of the welfare state; and Islamic morals (among them, outlawing alcohol and gambling), on all of which he elaborated in his ‘The Green Book’. He closed down American and British military bases and partly nationalised foreign oil and commercial interests in Libya. In June 1972 he announced that any Arab wishing to volunteer for the Palestinian struggle for liberation could register at any Libyan embassy and would be given training on armed combat. In the hope of persuading the West to end support for Israel, he promoted oil embargoes as a political weapon. On 7 October 1972, he praised the Lod Airport massacre, carried out by the Japanese Red Army. In 1976 after a series of attacks by the Irish Provisional IRA, he claimed that he had been supplying arms to the IRA.
Notwithstanding all this, and despite Gaddafi being a thorn in the flesh of the Empire, Libya (like Zimbabwe) has remained a neo-colony of the Empire. A few facts attest to this reality. Libya is OPEC's 8th largest oil producer. It depends primarily upon revenues from the petroleum sector, which contributes practically all export earnings and over half of GDP. According to the International Energy Agency, more than 70 per cent of its oil is exported to European countries, especially Italy, France, Germany, and Spain, many of whom have invested heavily in Libyan oil. For example, by the end of October 2010, the number of French companies in Libya had nearly doubled from 2008 - most of them in the energy sector. It is no wonder that President Sarkozy is so nervous about the outcome of the current civil war in Libya. Italy alone buys a quarter of Libya's oil and 15 per cent of its natural gas. In all these years, Italian companies continued to retain a strong presence in Libya, which owned significant shares in Italy's Eni oil corporation, Fiat, Unicredit bank and Finmeccanica. In January 2002, Gaddafi purchased a 7.5 per cent share of Italian football club Juventus for US$ 21 million, through a long-standing association with Italian industrialist Gianni Agnelli. As well as Italy, several other European and British companies maintained strong commercial interests in Libya. This is at the national level. But at the personal level, the Gaddafi family became extremely wealthy as a result of his continuing links with the Empire. The $70 billion Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) is a state institution, but it would be a safe bet that Gaddafi has (or had, until a recent freeze on it) full control over it. Whilst he financed many groups fighting the Empire, he and his sons, known to live in opulent luxury in the West, often donated money to ‘liberal’ causes, such as the London School of Economics Centre for the ‘Study of Global Governance’; indeed, the former Director of the LSE, Anthony Giddens, (Prime Minister Tony Blair’s political mentor) visited Gaddafi in 2007 to give him some lectures on ‘democracy’.
However, Gaddafi has his idiosyncrasies. He is trusted neither by the Empire nor by his fellow heads of state in the Arab League and the African Union. President Museveni, in praising Gaddafi as a ‘nationalist’ criticised him for his ‘mistakes’ - among them, backing Idi Amin in Uganda; pushing for a United States of Africa; proclaiming himself ‘king of kings’; ignoring the plight of Southern Sudan; and promoting terrorism. For the Empire, Gaddafi had become an unreliable, indeed dangerous, neo-colonial dictator. The Empire had to bring him to book.
Here is a brief account of how the Empire ‘disciplined’ Gaddafi and finally succeeded. For most of the 1980s and 90s, Libya was under the Empire’s economic and diplomatic sanctions. In April 1986, a joint US Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps force attacked Libya. In 1993 the UN imposed sanctions against it. As the sanctions began to bite, President Nelson Mandela made a media-hyped visit to Gaddafi in 1997 followed by the UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan. As a result of these overtures, Gaddafi agreed in 1999 to hand over two Libyans accused of planting a bomb on Pan Am Flight 103, which came down on Lockerbie, Scotland. Gaddafi paid compensation to victims of Lockerbie - US$2.7 billion to the families of the 270 victims, i.e. up to US$10 million each. The UN sanctions were thereupon suspended, but US sanctions against Libya remained in force. Gaddafi went on to cooperate with investigations into previous Libyan acts of state-sponsored terrorism, and agreed to end his nuclear weapons program. On 15 May 2006, the US State Department announced that it would restore full diplomatic relations with Libya, and that it would be removed from the list of nations supporting terrorism. Libya was thus restored to its ancien regime status as a neo-colony.
Following Gaddafi’s rehabilitation, several imperial Heads of State, most flamboyantly the British Prime Minister Tony Blair, French President Sarkozy and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi rushed to Tripoli to shower the ‘dictator’ with photo opportunities of kisses and hugs and to secure from him investment opportunities as well as access to oil. In March 2004, Blair went to Libya, and praised Gaddafi for his co-operation. In July 2007, Sarkozy visited Libya and signed a number of bilateral and multilateral (European Union) agreements. In August 2008, Berlusconi signed a landmark cooperation treaty in Benghazi, under which Italy agreed to pay $5 billion to Libya as compensation for its former military occupation, in exchange for Libya agreeing to stop illegal immigration to Italy, and investments in Italian companies. As the diplomatic editor of The Daily Telegraph, David Blair, said, Libya's 'Brother Leader', had gone from being ‘the epitome of revolutionary chic’ to ‘an eccentric statesman with entirely benign relations with the West’. (The Daily Telegraph, 13 August 2009). Britain’s Prime Minister Cameron, not to miss his turn, went to Libya to sell arms to the Empire’s neo-colonial dictator, even as the people were marching against him in Tripoli.
But soon the imperial dictators were to regret their sudden passion for Gaddafi. The Tunisian and Egyptian ‘people’s revolutions’ took them by surprise. When the contagion spread to Libya, the Empire could no longer defend the recently rehabilitated Gaddafi. It jumped on the ‘democratic bandwagon’, making a quick U-turn, and ditched Gaddafi as quickly as they had dashed to hug him. That Gaddafi ran a tight-fisted autocratic regime in Libya for decades was a well-known fact. His autocracy was never a matter of much concern to the Empire. There were other equally harsh regimes in the service of the Empire in other parts of the Arab world, such as Bahrain and Yemen, as well as in many pro-imperial neo-colonies in Africa. What tipped the scale against Gaddafi was his unreliability, and not the fact that he was a ‘dictator’. The challenge the Empire faced since his turnaround in 1999 had been how to turn Gaddafi from a dictator who served ‘revolutionary’ causes to one who would serve imperial interests without creating problems for it. When this did not happen, he had to go, as indeed Tunisia’s Ben Ali and Egypt’s Mubarak, long time ‘allies’ (read, ‘neo-colonial dictators’) of the Empire.
But how to get rid of Gaddafi became a bigger problem for the Empire than getting rid of Ben Ali and Mubarak. Earlier, I explained two vital differences between a colony and neo-colony. There is a third difference between the two. Unlike colonies, neo-colonies are ‘sovereign’ states, and members of the UN. They have rights as ‘independent nations’, rights to self-determination, and rights to development. The Empire cannot just bomb a sovereign member of the UN, for example, without the UN’s sanction, especially of its Security Council, which is the organ in the UN that deals with matters of international peace and security. This creates hurdles for the Empire. In the UN context, for example, the Empire has to get Russia and China (the two other permanent members of the Security Council with a veto power) on board, and at least a majority of the remaining non-permanent members before it can attack a neo-colony. The Empire could not just attack Libya and take out Gaddafi. A proper rationale had to be engineered - one that could be sold to the Empire’s own sceptical publics, to ‘allies’ in the other neo-colonies, and to allies in non-imperial Europe and the rest of the third world. The critical support needed here was that of the other neo-colonies in the Arab World, best of all if it could be expressed institutionally by the Arab League. After much neo-colonial ‘persuasion’ and carrot dangling, this was achieved. For years the League has been belittled, even ridiculed, by the Empire for its flabbiness and foibles. Suddenly, when the League supported the ‘no-fly zone’ against Libya, it became ‘the voice of the Arab people’. In the event, Russia and China abstained, as also did India and Brazil, for reasons that we cannot go into here. For good measure, the African neo-colonies - South Africa, Nigeria and Gabon - voted in favour of the resolution.
Once these ‘enabling conditions’ of a new ‘diplomatic reality’ was created, the Empire was quickly able to get the Security Council to pass a ‘consensus’ resolution. Resolution 1973 (2011) demanded ‘an immediate ceasefire in Libya, including an end to the current attacks against civilians’, which it said might constitute ‘crimes against humanity’; it imposed a ban on all flights in the country’s airspace - ‘a no-fly zone’; and tightened sanctions on the Gaddafi regime and its supporters. It authorised Member States, ‘acting nationally or through regional organisations or arrangements, to take all necessary measures to protect civilians under threat of attack in the country, including Benghazi, while excluding a foreign occupation force of any form on any part of Libyan territory’ - requesting them to immediately inform the Secretary-General of such measures.
However, even before the ink was dry, France had begun to bomb Libya. Soon France was joined by Britain and the United States, until the ‘authority’ of the UN was effectively transferred from it to NATO. International lawyers will no doubt write copious papers on the legality of the actions that followed in terms of both the resolution and international law. For example, in an ‘open letter to President Barack Obama on the crisis in Libya’ the National Conference of Black Lawyers argued that there was ‘no lawful basis for commencing a military campaign’ in Libya. But in the world of ‘diplomatic reality’, this is just ‘a lot of noise’ after the fact. And in any case, there are always several contending views on the legality or otherwise of such actions. Above all, there is no equivalent of the Nuremburg Tribunal or the International Criminal Court that dare put on trial the Imperial Dictators -Obama, Clinton, Sarkozy, or Cameron. The ICC is essentially a neo-colonial tool of the Empire, meant to be used only against third world or former East and Central European dictators and violators of human rights.
Libya is a neo-colonial state; it is imperial finance capital which, despite contradictions, is in effective control of the state and its economy. Gaddafi has been an unwilling neo-colonial dictator for finance capital, with a rather utopian vision to liberate from the Empire; utopian because he wanted to fight the Empire whilst still keeping the country’s and his own wealth within the imperial industrial, financial and banking system. The Empire might have accommodated him, and indeed did rehabilitate him after his turnaround in 1999, but the ‘Arab Spring’ upset the programme of the Empire, and it had to quickly take a U-turn and ditch Gaddafi just as it Ben Ali and Mubarak. The issue of how things might move forward in Libya is a big issue, one which I shall write about in the next column.

In the beginning of course you may find your own jobs, but as you get a little busier, then you’re going to be working while your agent is hopefully handling future work for you. That’s when having an agent, or an agency working for your benefit is going to come in handy.
When seeking an agent, try to find out what kind of actors that the agency or agent represents and what their type is, as some agencies specialise in primary types of actors, such as the girl next door, tough guy, business man type actors, while others may represent a completely different type.
When selecting an agent, be sure to find out the types of actors and actresses that agency primarily represents or has a lot of. There is a very good reason for this. If the agency you’re looking at represents a whole lot of girl next door types, then you, as one of many of those, probably won’t get looked at for a while for those parts, with so many of that type in the agency.
In your case it might be better to select an agency that primarily handles tough guys, so that if the casting director is searching for a girl next door type, you’re going to be one of just a few clients like that that your agency handles.
The most common way to find an agent is probably word of mouth. Find out who represents someone that you admire, then ask them to speak with their agent or to put in a good word for you so that you get a foot in the door.
The second most common way of getting your agent will be by being seen, so each time you’re in a production, if there is an agent you’d particularly like to work with, send them a small postcard version of your headshot, or send a postcard from the actual show.
Plan to attend some talent agency seminars or check out the back stage papers to find out where those seminars are being held.
Send out blind mailings to the agencies you’d like to work with, that include a headshot, CV/resume and a cover letter.

Following last year’s mass slaughter of Prospect Park geese, the Department of Environmental Protection is trying to appease its numerous critics. Not by emphasizing its concern for animal welfare, mind you, but by touting its dedication to recycling. This summer, instead of being left to rot in a landfill, the geese will feed Pennsylvanians.
Because Pennsylvania already has “established protocol for processing and distributing slaughtered geese,” City Room reports, the birds will be sent to a slaughterhouse there and then distributed to various food banks. New York has been busy putting its own protocols into place, so next year the culled geese will be destined for local food banks.
Incidentally, there are many recipes for Canada geese to be found on the Internet. The Atlantic even wrote a whole story about it last fall, complete with a recipe for goose mortadella. Making it only a matter of time, we suppose, until some enterprising locavore decides to start lurking around Prospect Park, shotgun in hand.

The honor guard at the wreath-laying ceremony Saturday at Christ Church.
On Saturday a bronze plaque marking the gravesites of 24 colonial patriots interred in the cemetery of the Mother Church of Christ Church Parish in Middlesex County was presented.
The presentation was made jointly by the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America (OFPA) and the Richard Henry Lee Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR).
The plaque bears the names of the 18 founders (residents of Virginia prior to 1657) and six Revolutionary War patriots.
Arthur Batten, governor of OFPA and president of the Virginia Society of the SAR, presided over a wreath-laying ceremony at the site of the plaque located near the entrance to the cemetery. The actual dedication and unveiling of the plaque was conducted by Myron E. Lyman, president of OFPA, and Robert E. Davis, president of the Richard Henry Lee chapter of the SAR. Father Paul Andersen, representing Christ Church Parish, accepted the plaque on behalf of the church.
Also participating in the wreath laying were National Society of Sons and Daughters of Pilgrims, the Colonel Fielding Lewis and Culpeper Minute Men chapters of the SAR, and the National and Virginia Societies of the Daughters of Founders and Patriots of America.

Talal Nayer is a cartoonist from North Sudan. The country has witnessed a lot of violence and political turmoil in the last decade. The conflict in Darfur, the separation of South Sudan, to name just a few. Last week, many Sudanese took to the streets to protest against the government’s cuts to fuel price subsidies. The government responded with the use of force, resulting to deadly clashes between protesters and security forces. According to human right groups in Sudan, at least 50 people were killed in the last week. We talk to Talal about being a politically engaged artist in Sudan.
What's the situation for cartoonists in Sudan currently?
'Honestly, it’s horrible from any perspective. In 1989 the National Islamic Front - currently National Congress Party – came to power by a military coup; a few days later the Islamists opened countless detention centers where many civilians were tortured and killed. All the newspapers were closed and many cartoonists lost their jobs. Some of them retired, some emigrated, and the rest are working in miserable conditions.
Newspapers of Khartoum are controlled by the government; journalists are working under the pressure of military forces, police and security, in a single-party state ruled by General Omar al-Bashir. The International Criminal Court accused al-Bashir of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Darfur. The ICC issued an arrest warrant for al-Bashir. So, the president is a red line. In fact, he is THE RED LINE.
It is forbidden to draw the face of al-Bashir, even if the cartoon is a compliment of the president. Editors-in-chief receive a list of unwanted subjects for publishing, directly from the National Security Agency. In this polluted environment any free-thinking cartoonist will not survive.
The government forced many cartoonists to run in circles, many of them unable to escape out of ready-listed duplication subjects. If any cartoonist challenges the government, he will find himself jobless, just like what happened to me. I worked for three newspapers in Sudan as a cartoonist; the government closed two of them by force, permanently. Anybody can imagine the rest of the story. Free political cartoonists are not welcome in this country.
You also work for the Saudi Gazette, an English newspaper in Saudi Arabia, not a country particularly known for freedom and tolerance. Are there any subjects you cannot draw about in this publication?
'Frankly, I haven't faced any problem in my work with the Saudis, at least until now. In general, I draw about international affairs and issues of the Middle East and Africa; this may save me from a direct clash with internal Saudi policies. I draw freely two cartoons per day for Saudi Gazette, and they choose a cartoon, put the second on in our 'Cartoon Bank'.
Saudi Arabia is the leading country of the so-called 'Islamic World', and religion is the most sensitive subject in all countries that are ruled by Sharia Law. When I desire to express my opinion about religion I publish what I want on my personal blog where I can freely express myself.
How do you work, and what materials do you use?
'In my early beginnings I was impressed by Syrian cartoonist Ali Ferzat. We exchanged a few phone calls. I saw some of his cartoons in an old magazine (from 1995) for the first time in 2006. Ali Ferzat was a shock for me at that time, because we were isolated in Sudan, and we are still isolated from the current movement of art. I was shocked because the ideas and his artistic style were something completely different for me.
Why do political cartoons matter?
'For me drawing cartoons is a positive way to express my ideas about life. The main inspiration sources for my cartoons are my political believes, and my mission is to carry the message of awareness to my people, and show them the way back to democracy and social equality. Sudan is so politicized and polarization pervades everything. It’s very difficult to be yourself in Sudan, but I take responsibility and voice my opinion. I know it’s risky but it is part of my duty as cartoonist.
In what way can political cartoons/cartoonists contribute to the future of Sudan?
'From a very personal view, and based on my life in this country: there is no future for art in Sudan. Sudan is a single-party state; the totalitarian state always wants to control every activity in the country, even the personal life of any citizen.
I was a co-founder of the Sudanese Cartoon Association in 2009. When we tried to establish something we found ourselves facing a 'carrot and stick policy'. We were surrounded from everywhere; the government wanted SCA to support the ruling party (NCP) in the 2010 Elections. I was surprised when I saw ministers and some high officials in the government sitting and speaking in our first constituent meeting, I didn’t even know who invited them. Two days after the meeting the government controlled the SCA, and the founding members were marginalized.
I faced many challenges during my time in the executive office of the Sudanese Cartoon Association, I did my best to do something good, but everything was politicized and out of control. Finally I chose to resign permanently in the early 2011. Now the SCA is clinically dead. The current members don’t want to make any radical changes for themselves, or for Sudan.
Besides that, Sudan is a very conservative country, and many religious Sudanese think drawing and music and sports are “Haram” or “Forbidden”. The Salafists have a following of hundreds of thousands people, and they say to them that all artists and painters will face Allah in the Day of Judgment.

It was published on Offiziere.ch last week, and scheduled to run on Cartoon Movement as well; but, alas, events have overtaken the image (or, as we at Cartoon Movement like to think, Mr. Obama saw the cartoon and took it to heart).

Haven’t posted in a while, but woke up this morning and saw on twitter that Joel Dahmem has accused Kang of cheating on a drop Sunday. Haven’t heard much of Dahmen til recently, but I must say I was very impressed watching him play with Tiger on Saturday. He was also rocking a very saucy Fisher Island bucket hat. Got to love his style and honesty. Below are his tweets as well as a funny picture he posted after missing a cut. Thoughts?
Im sorry.. who and who???
Kang finished t3 which gets him into Open...he has been on tour a few years now with some decent results.
I'm a bit surprised no video has surfaced on this yet. Not sure if it doesn't exist or if the networks were encouraged not to find it.
I know a guy should be considered innocent until proven guilty, but it's hard to believe that Joel Dahmen would argue for 20 minutes unless he was convinced Kang was taking a bad drop.
Awesome. Love a hot honest take.
If a ball goes into a "hazzard" in the woods, and no one is around, does it make a sound?
what if Joel is wrong? he is whte washing Kang's reputation to no end..he can't be the only right person on this call> Were others not around?
Good to see someone call out another player if they feel they are breaking the rules. Don't see how it could go back and forth for so long though.
I thought Joel played with Tiger yesterday or was that sat?
He played with Tiger Saturday, Tiger was with Burgoon yesterday.
Ha this is awesome. Good to know someone out there is protecting the field. Would be funny if this guy played with the backstop club.
No Tiger played with Blue Lagoon or something yesterday.
Admit I didn't see it, but think Dahmen would have been better off leaving out "Kang cheated" & just presented the facts as he saw them.
Was wondering why these guys played through the group ahead of them.
Saying someone cheated is a strong claim.
Couldn't the other guy claim bias and say he wanted me to make a higher score so he could move up and make more money?
I thought it was **** Rangoon?
with all the cameras on the course, we don't have a footage? that's a shame.
Not a great fashion statement but Joel is a testicular cancer survivor who is likely wearing it for protection reasons.
Not really surprising IMO. Outside of Tiger's group there were holes where it didn't look like there were more than 25-30 fans on each hole.
Not sure how much footage is out there of the Dahmen/Kang pairing.
He still had the balls to call out Kang.
Close, it was Rocky Raccoon.
I don't know anything about tv coverage at these events, but they've got cameras set up on every hole and from multiple angles. I'd have to think they're always rolling and recording, regardless of where guys are in the standings.
Aldila Rogue Black, 9.5* @44.5"
Nippon Modus 105 Stiff @ 36.5"
Odyssey #9 HT Metal X Milled @33.5"
Trying to decide what is better - a thread about nothing or a Jeopardy category about tire fires.
Alex, I'll take Tire Fires for $800.
**** is Duck's half brother.
No, I had Duck Ragu last night.
Yep. **** and Duck's dad Duke was quite the playa.

Very impressed with the cherry trees recieved in perfect condition.planted as per instructions.I would like advice, as now I have got them I am told I will never have cherries as the birds always get there first.As the trees max height is 8ft is there some way I can protect them and when is it the beast time to offer this protection. I would be grateful for your advice. Webmasters Reply: Here on the nursery we have found hanging old cd's in the tree the most effective method of control; these must be in place from approximately mid March until after the fruit has been harvested.
Removes free lime from the water.
Floats in Summer, sinks in Winter.
Supplied as a bare root plant.
Sometimes known as the Pineapple plant.
This plant removes free lime from the water. Especially good in hard water districts.
Rather like an Aloe or Agave with its saw tooth edged leaves. These leaves can be quite brittle and do sometimes break when handled, but they do re-grow.
Dragonflies and Damsel flies really like this plant.
Not harmful to fish despite its fearsome appearance.
Start quite small in Spring growing up to large dinner plate, 18" (45 cm) diameter!
Best suited to medium and large sized ponds.
Will sink to the bottom of your pond during the Winter.

The Bella Coola Rodeo, one of the largest amateur rodeos in Western Canada, takes place annually on the Canada Day weekend.
A rodeo in this small community is a wild event, as cowhands show their skills kicking off with a gymkhana, and competing in bronco riding, barrel racing, calf tie-down, team roping, bull riding and the infamous cow patty bingo.
The weekend winds up with the popular Bullarama, where contestants have an opportunity to bid on their own cowboy and win a share of the substantial purse.
Contestants travel from as far away as Alberta and the northern states to compete in the events.
Open air dances are held nightly.
The Rodeo is the kick- off for Gymkhanas, which are held once a month at the Rodeo grounds and showcase the fine equestrian talents of the Valley Ridge Riders.

Ella appeared last Monday in our self-compassion group. Stephan had read Rumi’s poem “What was said to the rose” and paused to ask us: “What do you think was said to the rose that made it open? And to the inhabitants of the town of Chigil that makes them so handsome?” Then Ella appeared. In my mind that is.
Ella is our neighbor and a blond beauty. I met her in the street last winter, she looked like a little Michelin man in her snowsuit holding her grandmothers hand. That hand was essential, since Ella could not walk alone at the time. None of them saw me. Ella was looking at her grandmother and her grandmother was looking at Ella, both delighted with what they saw. “Ella-Ella, Ella-Ella”, her grandmother softly sang without cessation. They stopped just before they bumped into me and Ella’s grandmother introduced us. “This is Ella” she said. But she might as well have said “this is the most wonderful person in the world”. It was in her voice and her face, in the way she gently swung Ella’s arm as they proceeded down the street. “Ella – Ella, Ella – Ella”….
Ella now speaks loud and clear. At eight in the morning she announces what she feels, wants and does not want in our court yard. One morning it was “stupid dad, stupid dad” At first she was angry, then in despair and she ended up crying in total misery on the ground. We peeped out the window and saw Ella’s father as he picked her up. She was still sobbing “stupid, stupid, dad” as he tenderly held her in his arms, until the crying ceased and gave way to a firm demand: “I wanted to hold Ninus!” Ellas father produced the toy rabbit in question from his backpack and Ella left happy as ever.
Talking about Self-compassion and what was said to the rose. Do you accept your happiness, your vitality, your anger and your despair? Do you hold it tenderly like Ella’s father until it fades and gives way for another feeling? If not, try it. Give the old judge a well earned vacation. Sing yourself like Ella’s grandmother sang Ella’s being. With love.

Sounds like a lovely weekend! I have also found I’m taking less photos lately, which I think is maybe healthier overall (live in the moment, self!) but then makes me feel boring when I have nothing to share along with the words on my blog-ha! Also, may steal that nail color for my beach-ready mani I’m getting this weekend. As ever, your meals inspire. I made two of the things you insta-messaged me this week-thanks!
I have put a real effort into not getting that color (or something similar) every time I get a mani but I felt like I’d held out long enough 🙂 It’ll be perfect for a beach vacation! I’m so glad to hear you liked some of those meals!

Amaya Gaming Group Incorporated has announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2013 showing a 496 percent year-on-year rise in total revenues to CAD$38.05 million ($36.73 million).
The Montreal-based company purchased Ongame Network Limited from bwin.party Digital Entertainment in October for approximately $19.42 million while November saw it pay $167 million in order to take control of electronic machine and technology supplier Cadillac Jack.
Amaya stated that its improvement in quarterly revenues was “primarily attributable” to the consolidation of software licensing and hosted casino earnings from CryptoLogic Limited, which it acquired for approximately $29 million in early April, alongside similar gains from Ongame and Cadillac Jack.
For the three months to the end of March, Amaya declared that adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation grew from a deficit of CAD$532,402 ($514,085) last year to a surplus of CAD$10.26 million ($9.91 million) although its net loss for the period increased by just over 63 percent year-on-year to CAD$7.44 million ($7.18 million).
For the full year to the end of December, Amaya Gaming predicted that overall revenues would total in the range of CAD$156 million ($150.6 million) to CAD$167 million ($161.3 million) while annual adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation are expected to fall between CAD$55 million ($53.12 million) to CAD$64 million ($61.81 million).
“We’re extremely pleased with the substantial positive cash flow generated from our operations in the first quarter,” said David Baazov, President and Chief Executive Officer of Amaya Gaming.

text: The Bruins continue to dominate the Atlantic Division, sitting atop with 89 points (64 games played) while the Leafs hold the second place spot with 78 points, but have three games on the Bruins. The Canadiens sit in the final guaranteed spot in the Atlantic with the new wild card format, 3rd place with 77 points, and one less game played than the Leafs. The Bruins have won five in a row and will look to make it six tonight against their original six rival, the Montreal Canadiens. The Boston offense has been amazing, putting 3.90 goals per game on the board over their last 10 games, and 22 goals in their 5 game win streak, an average of 4.40 goals per game. Overall, the Bruins offense ranks 3rd with 3.16 goals per game. Also note that the Bruins are 5th overall in the shot department with 32.3 shots per game. The Canadiens couldn’t find the back of the net in their most recent outing against the Sharks, suffering a 4-0 loss, marking their second loss in a row, and their third loss in their last four games. Scoring isn’t as common for the Canadiens as it is for the Bruins, as the Habs rank just 23rd overall for scoring with 2.44 goals per game.The Habs are one of the least disciplined teams in the League, taking an average of 12.5 penalty minutes per game, ranked 25th overall. The Habs have a 4th place penalty kill unit (84.6%) however they have gone just 75.7% on the penalty kill over their last 10 games, while the Bruins have the 3rd best power play in the NHL (21.1%) and have been exceptional on the power play over their last 10 games with a 24.1% success rate. The Montreal power play unit ranks 13th overall at 18.8%, while the Boston penalty kill is 12th overall at 82.9%, and 83.9% over their last 10 games. When it comes to goaltending, the Canadiens are still without starter Carey Price, and will likely start Peter Budaj. Budaj is 8-7-2 on the season with a 2.42 GAA and a .909 SV%, and was pulled in his last game against the Sharks, allowing 2 goals on 11 shots for a .818 SV%. Rask is probable for Boston and is truly one of the best in the League, with a record of 28-14-4, a .926 SV% (4th) and a 2.15 GAA (7th). We’ll look for the Bruins to win their sixth in a row tonight.

Thomas Lemar is closing in on a transfer to Atletico Madrid after the Spanish club announced they have reached a "preliminary agreement" with Monaco for the France winger.
Lemar has regularly been linked with a move away from Stade Louis II since enjoying a sensational campaign in the club's title-winning 2016-17 season.
The 22-year-old was a key man for Leonardo Jardim's side, scoring nine times and setting up another 10 in Ligue 1.
He attracted the interest of Arsenal – among others – and appeared to be on the verge of a move to Emirates Stadium early last season, but the collapse of Alexis Sanchez's proposed switch to Manchester City reportedly saw Lemar's transfer fall apart.
But he finally appears to have secured his next challenge, with Atletico giving every indication they want to close the gap on LaLiga champions Barcelona next season by signing a highly rated attacker.
It was no secret that Atletico had been looking for attacking reinforcements, as the club reluctantly sold both Yannick Carrasco and Nicolas Gaitan to Chinese Super League side Dalian Yifang in February, well after the transfer window had closed in LaLiga.
Those departures left Diego Simeone's squad short on numbers, but they still managed to finish second ahead of bitter rivals Real Madrid.
Lemar will hope his impending arrival is seen as enough of a statement of intent to convince international team-mate Antoine Griezmann to stay at the club.
Griezmann, who has been strongly linked with Barcelona, said on Tuesday that he has made a decision on his future but will only reveal it after France's World Cup campaign.
Lemar is a part of Didier Deschamps' France squad in Russia and could be in line for a start in their first game against Australia on Saturday should Kylian Mbappe miss out with an ankle knock.

This article will be reviewing the Contender Fight Sports Heavy Hitter Body Protector. A body protector is a tool for practicing various striking drills involving hits to the body without needing the striker to hold back their power. Do not mistake this body protector for the slimmer and lighter chest protector used in point fighting competitions. The body protector is a larger version of the belly pad used by Muay Thai practitioners and is commonly paired with focus mitts or thai pads.
Physical Appearance: Simple and clean looking body protector. This Contender body protector is only available in the color scheme shown in the featured image.
Padding: Contender’s body protector has thick foam paddings that absorbs and distribute the impacts from each strike thrown during mitt holding sessions. It will protect your abdomen and sternum. Furthermore, this body protector has extra padding extended from the midsection and the sides.
Exterior Material: Synthetic leather covers the front side of the padding. Material used on the backside of the body shield is a soft fabric. This fabric will absorb sweat and is not as easy to clean as the synthetic leather.
Adjustable Straps: The Contender body protector has two straps that will run over your trapezius and crisscrosses behind the back. Another strap runs along your lower back. Each of these straps are made out of heavy nylon.
Strap Buckles: The buckles connecting the waist straps together are made out of plastic. This feature means you can quickly and easily put on the body protector without assistance. In addition to that, you are able to adjust the waist straps tightness after locking the buckles together, as needed.
This video shows an example of how the Contender Body Protector can be integrated into your training sessions.
The ability to adjust the tightness of all the straps is a great feature, since you can alter it to fit different body types, especially if you are taking turns being the pad holder. However, I do not believe the Contender body protector is ideal for slim body types. It does not fit as snug to my body as I would like. After putting the body protector on and adjusting the waist straps as tight as I could, there is still a small gap between my sides and the body protector. That said, the body protector does not really shift too much and stays in place, for the most part, when strikes to the side of the body like hooks and kicks are thrown.
Even though the Contender body protector is large and thick, its foam padding is relatively light. This is beneficial because it allows individuals to use it for long extended period of time without having the body protector feel too overbearing and causing fatigue to their trapeziuses.
The synthetic leather may not be as durable as genuine leather, but its combination with the Contender body protector’s quality construction provides a tough and sturdy training accessory. Furthermore, the straps on my body protector has not shown any sign of wear and tear yet. However, I do notice that threads in different parts of the body protector is coming loose over time. For example, the nylon strap is still solid, but the threads attaching it to the body protector are getting a bit loose in the corners.
I find the plastic buckles for fastening the body protector’s waist straps together to be better than velcro straps used in other body protectors and belly pads. With these buckles, you do not have to worry about the straps coming apart during training or how the velcro’s stickiness may wear out over time.
The thick and dense padding by the body protector can absorb all types of striking techniques, such as punches, knees and kicks. It may not prevent you from feeling strikes being thrown at 100% power by a larger opponent. However, you should be able to take what is left of the power transferring to your body. The protection for the sternum is a nice touch, since it allows you to work on targeting your strikes directly to the sternum and this opportunity does not exist with a belly pad.
I have found the Contender Body Protector to be available for sale in the price range of $50-80, excluding shipping and tax. I would recommend doing a little research to save yourself some money if you are truly interested in this product. A typical body protector range from as low as $30 to well over $200. If you could find the Contender body protector at the lower end of the price range listed initially, then I believe this equipment would be a great investment at a reasonable price for developing and progressing the stand up skills for you and your fellow training partners.

I'm currently on AT&T and pretty happy with both it and my Lumia 1020. There are a few times, however, where I wouldn't mind having a second phone running Android (I came from a Droid Razr on Verizon). It would seem the Z1s would be a great option due to phenomenal battery life, good quality camera and waterproof, but obviously it isn't carried by AT&T.
Since I'm not ready to move my entire family from AT&T to T-Mobile for this phone it seems the only way (right now) that I can get a Z1s is to purchase an unlocked T-Mobile variant. Has anybody tried this? I read somewhere as long as the model ends in XXX6 that it should be able to handle the AT&T 4G network. Any insights into when the unlocked version would be available? Any other things I should take into account?
AFAIK, the Z1s is a Tmo exclusive and made specifically for Tmo and its frequency bands. I'm sure it'll run on ATT but even if it supports some of ATT's LTE bands, depending on your area, those bands may not be in use. I could be wrong though but you can google the specs. I bought the phone outright and using the prepaid 5GB plan. After 40 days and paying at least $50 per their unlocking policy, I plan on unlocking and trying it on ATT. I won't know until then how it'll run on ATT.
This is my plan as well. T-Mobile service is vastly better in nj than it used to be...but I'll put the phone on at&t as soon as I can.
I bought the Z1s from t-mobile contract free on 1/22 and bought an unlock code online. Took a few days to receive the code but all's well on AT&T. LTE works great and I actually get better reception than my G2. Hope that helps!
I don't know about the AT&T LTE, but when I go into roaming areas, I pick up AT&T networks and things keep chugging along. I do pick up AT&T 4G, which is the HSPA if I remember correctly.
So I can buy this phone out right and buy a unlock code and use this phone on att and get LTE with att?
Sounds like it. Just know it's 560 or so and not 528. The 528 amt is with a plan. Not sure how much the unlock code is as that varies greatly depending on where u order it from but if someone said they got it unlocked then u should be able to.
T-Mobile charges $50 to unlock your phone?????????? I thought it was free since you own your phone when you paided it off.
Are you still seeing LTE on AT&T with your Z1s? I am very interested in doing the unlock thing as well. However I want to be 100% sure the Z1s will work flawlessly on ATT. Thanks.
Yes, seeing the same LTE coverage as my AT&T LG G2. The Z1s uses the same LTE bands as AT&T (4 and 17 I believe) in North America. So you shouldn't have any LTE coverage issues.
That's what I did, was gonna get the C6906 which also works with ATT LTE but I was worried about warranty problems since Sony doesn't sell that model here.
All you have to do is add the ATT APN under network settings and you're good to go. LTE, MMS, and voice all works just like any other AT&T device.
Account holder requesting the unlock code has no holds/overdue bills on the account, and has been a customer for at least 40 days.
Phone has been used on a T-mobile network for at least 7 days (doesn't have to consecutive, 1 call a day is sufficient) .
You can provide proof the phone has been paid in full.
Source: My room mate is a T-mobile customer and we tried to get my Z1s unlocked by T-mobile using his sim card.
This was a hassle for me so I paid $40 for the unlock code online. Sony unlock codes are harder to find/generate so it may take up to 5 business days to receive yours from your unlock code vendor of choice.
Thank you. Seems like the best method next to ordering the 6906 from Sony.
Thank you very much for the information randaddy. Hope to pick one up the same way you did shortly. Do you mind letting me know the name of the seller (either post or PM) of the code. I saw one on eBay (UK based I believe) who I was going to go through.
You guys got any speedtest results on AT&T? Fastest I could get on T-Mobile was 24M down and 7M up. On my Ipad mini retina which I use AT&T for I got 66M down and 20M up.
The first settings I used were cingular based and didn't work perfectly...I had intermittent losses of data all day today. About an hour ago I switched to the following and haven't noticed a loss of data. Will report back later if it isn't good.
Just downloaded Ookla Speedtest. Got 18.79 down and 7.20 up on AT&T. Never ran it on T-Mobile...if I put my prepaid card back in later I'll try to do that.
Besides getting direct from Tmo, nobody can give u with a day but you can try various unlock sites. One may be able to unlock while you're traveling.
I can confirm this works perfectly with att LTE. Bought the phone outright, bought an unlock code online, popped in att Sim, entered unlock code and simply copied my APN settings to the new phone.
Speed test shows 38 down in north Chicagoland. Awesome phone.
Looking to purchase this model as well, can anyone provide the model number... is it the 6916, 6906...? Thanks!
I've recently purchased a Z1s (c6916) and have it unlocked. I'm trying to get it to work on AT&T's network but the phone isn't recognizing the sim, could this be a hardware issue?
Mine worked fine, so I'd say possibly. Are you sure it unlocked properly? I'd try a different sim before switching out the phone.

A joint effort will result in the debut this summer of an exciting performing arts program at Illinois Central College designed to provide additional performance experience for theatre students that will also provide opportunities for students with special needs.
The collaboration involves the Illinois Central College theatre program and the Penguin Project, a local program which gives individuals 10 to 21 years old with developmental disabilities or special needs the opportunity to participate in the performing arts. The new venture, called the Penguin Players, will be patterned after the Penguin Project but does not have an upper age limit; individuals must only be academically accepted to ICC.
In addition, others can enroll and work with participants with special needs as peer mentors, who are present on stage during productions and are responsible for knowing all lines, songs and blocking for their partners.
“ICC has a strong performing arts program and has offered summer theatre workshops for several years,” said Chris Gray, dean of ICC’s arts and communication department, of which the ICC theatre program is a part. “We realized we had the opportunity to fill a need for Penguin Project participants who no longer met the age requirements of that program by adapting what we offer already.
According Dr. Andrew Morgan, founder of the Penguin Project and known to many as “Dr. Andy,” while the Penguin Project is an overwhelming success in terms of the benefits to children with special needs and their families, the age limit was put in place to allow new children to enter the program.
It is often difficult for individuals with special needs to find roles, and for the most part, those who “graduated” by aging out of the Penguin Project program had no options to continue. Recognizing this need, Morgan, Gray and ICC Associate Provost Margaret Swanson forged this relationship between The Penguin Project and ICC to create a “college-based” program for young adults using the model of The Penguin Project.
The Penguin Project traditionally holds its performances during the winter. ICC’s program will run during the summer term. Participants in the ICC program will work with several theatre instructors in the preparation, rehearsing, staging and actual presentation of a production in the ICC Performing Arts Center. The Penguin Players program will begin with rehearsals in May and culminate with six performances of Godspell Jr. over two weekends in July.
All participants must be accepted for enrollment at ICC and register with department approval in ICC’s Theatre 220 course, a three credit hour summer semester course which begins May 4.
Registration for the program is currently open. For more information about enrollment, call Karen Giesler at (309) 694-8912 or email [email protected] Information is also available through the ICC Arts and Communication web site, ArtsAtICC.com.

What is in the mind of network morning show producers and bookers who ask close family members of those who are killed, maimed, assaulted or victims of other inhumane acts to appear on their shows? Do we really want to see people in distress, agony and crying over a loved one? Do these producers and bookers feel gratified in seeing people in pain on camera? Do they think it will increase their shows’ ratings? Bizarre.
Why was business reporter Brian Sullivan of Fox Business cable channel being interviewed by Harry Smith this morning on CBS's The Early Show about the joblessness and the economy? Doesn't the CBS News Department have reporters that cover business and the economy? Why is CBS coddling up to Fox?
I had a great question from a journalist this morning at the Science Christian Monitor: "Will the media cover the One Nation rally this Saturday, October 2 in Washington D.C.?" I think that because it will most likely be a peaceful and civilized rally, it will get little coverage.

LOOK: NIALL HORAN On LOUIS TOMLINSON: "He Was A Vital Member Of ONE DIRECTION"! - MYX | YOUR CHOICE. YOUR MUSIC.
LOOK: NIALL HORAN On LOUIS TOMLINSON: "He Was A Vital Member Of ONE DIRECTION"!
Niall Horan won't let his buddy Louis Tomlinson think little of himself. So bear this in mind Tommo, your friend here believes you're an "extremely vital member" of our beloved One Direction - and we believe so, too.
During an interview with Nova 100 radio show, the "Slow Hands" singer refuted Louis previous comments of himself as the "forgettable" member of the group and doubting if he ever has done any contribution back then. "He knows that none of us ever thought or think that. He's an unbelievable guy, a great singer and someone that if, I'd say, we would have lost the plot along the way if we hadn't had Louis," Niall said. "He was a very, very, very, extremely vital member of One DIrection. He's a great man."
But wait, there's more that would make this bromance perfect! Apparently, Niall was one of the first lucky people to get a snoop of Louis' new single "Back To You and to all fairness, we shared mutual thoughts on it.
"The only lad I have actually sent a song to was Niall and it was because we had worked with a couple of the same writers and he had heard that the song was good apparently, so he text me saying 'I really need to hear the single!'," Louis revealed to Capital FM. "So I sent him it and he sent me a nice little voice note back like 'Tommo's got a banger!', so it was nice!"
His latest track "Back To You" featuring Bebe Rexha and Digital Farm Animals is out now! You can listen to it here.
What do you think of Niall and Louis' bromance? Send us a comment!

I truly feel like I was just talking about Cam being 3.5. Now, here we are and he's four. FOUR!!! And as he was very quick to remind me, "four is almost five!"
Man, do I love this kid. And truth be told - I have heard horror stories of the "three's." But to be honest - I loved (almost) every minute of Camden James as a three year old. I know I am biased and President of the Camden Fan Club, but he is one cool dude.
- he got Track Master Sky High Bridge Jump for his birthday and he through the roof excited. Just ask him about it. Or don't because he will talk so fast that you will hear "Sky Bridge" and not understand anything else.
I asked him if I could "interview" him, and after explaining what an "interview" was - he obliged.
Cammy, Cammy, Cammy. You are one special little guy. I love you more than I could have ever thought possible. You are kind, sensitive, funny (so funny!), smart, and light up the room when you're around. I love seeing your imagination at work and watching the world through your inquisitive mind. I love you to the moon and stars, and all the way to Pluto, the dwarf planet.

Americans United for Life (AUL) filed briefs today in two important abortion cases now before the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Each case involves recently enacted laws designed to protect women from the dangers inherent in America’s largely unregulated, unrestricted, and unrepentant abortion industry.
AUL filed an amicus curiae (“friend of the court”) brief in Planned Parenthood v. Abbott, a legal challenge launched by the nation’s largest abortion provider against commonsense abortion regulations enacted in Texas this past summer following a Special Legislative session. House Bill (HB) 2 included a ban on abortions after five months of pregnancy, requirements that abortion clinics meet the same patient care standards as other facilities performing outpatient surgeries, a mandate that abortion providers have hospital admitting privileges, and restrictions on the administration of abortion-inducing drugs such as RU-486.
In its lawsuit, Planned Parenthood is only challenging the admitting privileges requirement and the new regulation governing the provision of abortion-inducing drugs. The regulation on abortion-inducing drugs (or chemical abortions) requires abortion providers to examine a woman before dispensing the drugs and mandates that the drugs be administered only in the way approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These protective requirements were based, in part, on AUL model legislation, the Abortion-Inducing Drugs Safety Act.
Earlier this fall, a federal district court in Austin ruled that the regulation on abortion-inducing drugs did not pose an “undue burden” for most women, but noted that it might pose a hardship for some women with certain medical conditions. To that end, the court improperly imposed a “health” exception on the regulation, which means that any abortion provider can refuse to follow the requirements as long as he or she claims the noncompliance is in the broad “health” interest of the woman.
In response, Texas filed an emergency appeal in the Fifth Circuit, which immediately stayed the district court’s overly broad injunction and allowed the regulation to go into effect. Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court denied an application by Planned Parenthood to stay both the admitting privileges requirement and the abortion-inducing drugs regulation while litigation continues.
The Fifth Circuit’s decision in this case is a significant bellweather for the future of chemical abortion regulations. If its decision allowing the provision to go into effect is any indication of its decision on the merits of the case, the Fifth Circuit is likely to uphold the Texas law. This means that two federal appellate courts—the Fifth Circuit and the Sixth Circuit—will have upheld state regulations of chemical abortions, providing greater authority and support to other states seeking to protect women from the harms of this dangerous practice. On the other hand, two state courts—the Oklahoma Supreme Court and a trial court in North Dakota—have invalidated similar laws, and such a “court split” makes it even more likely that the U.S. Supreme Court will soon decide the constitutionality and viability of regulations on abortion-inducing drugs.
AUL’s brief demonstrates that U.S. Supreme Court precedent supports regulating abortion-inducing drugs and that medical data—including the FDA’s intent to restrict use of abortion-inducing drugs and the risks inherent in chemical abortions—support Texas’ regulation.
AUL filed a second amicus brief in Jackson Women’s Health Organization v. Currier, a challenge to a 2012 Mississippi law requiring any abortion provider who performs 10 or more abortions per month to have admitting privileges at a local hospital. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the state’s only abortion clinic, has challenged the law.
A federal district court in Jackson initially granted in part, and denied in part, the clinic’s motion for a preliminary injunction against enforcement of the law. The court initially allowed the law to take effect, requiring the clinic’s providers to seek admitting privileges within the time the law allotted for them to do so, but also enjoined state officials from imposing any criminal or civil penalties for the continued operation of the clinic while the required privileges were being sought. Since then, providers at the Jackson clinic have been denied admitting privileges by all local hospitals. In light of this development, the district court subsequently enjoined the law as an “undue burden” because it would certainly mean the closure the clinic.
In Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court found that the State’s legitimate interest in regulating abortion to protect maternal health “obviously extends at least to [regulating] the performing physician and his staff, to the facilities involved, to the availability of after-care, and to adequate provision for any complication or emergency that may arise.” However, the district court’s analysis, elevating in-state “access” to an abortion clinic over the long-recognized State interest in protecting maternal health, virtually immunizes abortion clinics from medically appropriate and commonsense regulation if their failure to comply would close their doors.
In the over 40 years since Roe v. Wade was decided, there have been innumerable examples of substandard care and conditions in the nation’s “legal” abortion clinics, demonstrating that state regulation and oversight of abortion clinics and abortion providers is absolutely necessary. The trial of now-convicted murderer Dr. Kermit Gosnell brought attention to the tragic impact that the “legal” abortion industry has had on women’s health. However, Gosnell’s clinic was not an aberration. In fact, since 2009, abortion providers in at least 29 states have faced investigations and/or have been cited for violating state laws governing the provision of abortions.
AUL’s brief argues that the district court’s analysis should be rejected as contrary to U.S. Supreme Court precedent. Specifically, the court improperly dismissed the State of Mississippi’s legitimate interest in regulating abortion to protect maternal health and created a new “right” for abortion clinics to a perpetually unregulated existence – an existence with obviously dangerous consequences for women’s health.

With voters seemingly becoming more frustrated with major political parties and the perceived actions of their representatives, the 2017 Federal political scene is looking predictably unpredictable.
The support of fringe groups and minor political parties, no matter how undisciplined they maybe, runs parallel with a declining interest in the contributions of the two major parties.
There is no evidence yet of either Federal Liberal or Labor parties addressing the lessons learned from the recent American election and previously Brexit. It is time to present policies that adequately address the “forgotten people”.
Perception of the Canberra bubble is akin to the US voter reaction against the ‘Washington elite’ and successfully dealing with perception is paramount in politics. Already Pauline Hansen is running the slogan ‘people before politics’ – a phrase difficult to argue.
I cannot see the Federal Government dealing with the challenge, as it has not been able to articulate a strong, unified message for months.
In a previous Source article, I applauded the elevation of Malcolm Turnbull, I was wrong.
I was not alone, the Prime Minister was supported for his middle of the road policies and potential leadership, but regrettably, he has not delivered either.
It is time to rethink the future of politics in Australia and to implement strong regional policies to address and attract voters outside the big cities.
The ‘survival at all costs’ mentality must be discarded.
While recent events may have been entertaining to Bill Shorten and the ALP, they are likely to suffer similar voter treatment. Time to act now.
The Federal spin off to Tasmania is also concerning, and the vulnerable Hodgman Government must take heed.
There are a lot of positives in Tasmania; we have a strong economy, record and increasing tourist numbers, significant infrastructure development, increasing private investment, a healthy agriculture sector and others.
Despite positive signs, the voter trend away from major parties and the very fickle nature of the Hare-Clark system dictate a very close state election due in March 2018.
There is much the Hodgman government can do, but not a lot of time to do it.
Above all, its strategies and politics must counter the political influence of Pauline Hanson and Jacquie Lambie and be empathetic to smaller regional communities.
