The College of Liberal Arts (CLA) at Oregon State University (OSU) seeks an experienced, visionary academic leader to serve as the Director of the School of Visual, Performing, and Design Arts (SVPDA).
The School, one of seven in CLA, is the home of the University’s programs in Art, Music, Theatre, and Graphic Design, which offer an array of studio, workshop, history, and theory courses. The School also presents arts content to the campus and region in the form of performances, gallery exhibitions, lectures, and other events. The Director of the School leads the faculty and staff; supervises the development and maintenance of new and established academic programs; serves as budget authority and chief administrative officer; works with the OSU Foundation to develop and maintain the School’s relationships with alums and supporters; and acts as an advocate for the School and the arts at the institutional, regional, and national levels.
It is a pivotal, transformational moment for the arts at Oregon State University. For one, the School of Visual, Performing, and Design Arts has only just been created as a standalone academic unit; until spring of 2021, a larger entity – the School of Arts and Communication – housed the arts programs. The evolution of the School into a standalone entity brings focus to the mission and was intended to galvanize discipline-specific innovation. For two, construction has begun on a new $70M arts facility, the Arts and Education Complex (AEC), featuring a 500-seat recital hall, new black box theatre, 3000-square-foot gallery, outdoor stage, and a variety of other spaces for arts display and presentation. The Arts and Education Complex has its own Director and administrative structure, but the visibility of the facility and the operational, programming, and experiential learning relationships expected between the AEC and SVPDA are part of an institutional strategy to elevate the arts to a new level of prominence at Oregon State University. The new Director of SVPDA will be expected to work closely with AEC administration to realize the vision of transforming OSU from a STEM-identified to a STEAM-identified University. Finally, historic Fairbanks Hall, the campus home of Studio Art and Art History, is undergoing a top-to-bottom renovation that brings visionary new concepts to teaching and studio spaces, modern facilities for collections storage, and new art galleries to the School.
SVPDA offers an Art Major with options in Studio Art (BFA, BA or BS), Photography and Digital Studio (BFA, BA or BS), and Art History (BA or BS), Major in Graphic Design (BFA), Music (BA, BS, or BM), and Theatre Arts (BA or BS). The School also offers a range of Minors, including those in the programs in which there are also Majors as well as standalone programs in Music Performance, Popular Music, Guitar. Additionally, the School is a key partner in the development, now underway, of a degree in Engineering for Design and Society, a collaboration with the College of Engineering. Oregon State University and the College of Liberal Arts in particular have achieved national distinction in Ecampus education – including a recent #1 ranking for the College as Best Online Liberal Arts College – and the portfolio of SVPDA involves both in-person and Ecampus offerings.
Potential applicants consulting the website should be aware that, while the formal reorganization of the School of Visual, Performing, and Design Arts has just been completed, a unique website for the School is still under construction and the School’s operations continue to appear as part of the School of Arts and Communication.
The SVPDA Director will possess innovation, energy, integrity, and facility with budget management and administrative decision-making in a complex, multidisciplinary environment. The Director will bring the personal qualities and professional profile to inspire and lead.
Nominations and expressions of interest are welcome. Contact Dr. Peter Betjemann, Patricia Valian Reser Director of Arts and Education, Search Chair, at email@example.com

benefits both individuals and neighborhoods,
and thus contributes to overall community health.
What is Urban Agriculture?
According to the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), “city agriculture takes the form of backyard, roof top and balcony gardening, community gardening in vacant lots and parks, roadside urban fringe agriculture and livestock grazing in open spaces”.
What can it do for our community?
- Helps resolve the issue of combined sewer overflow issues in a city and catching stormwater.
- Productive green spaces improve shade, temperature, decrease in CO2 gas, and less dumping on empty lots.
- Creates more parks and recreation.
- Vacant lot gardens have shown to decrease crime in the neighborhood due to increase “eyes on the street”.
- In 2000, Philadelphia launched the placement of vegetable garden to soak up rainwater. They found a significant reduction in drug possession in these areas.
- Landscaping research in Baltimore found significant decreases in property crimes with “having a well kept lawn, presence of yard trees, hoses, sprinklers, shrubs, and tree cover.”
- Residents and local businesses work together to build the community.
- Urban Agriculture builds new parks and areas of relaxation.
- Greening of a city provides mental and emotional value.
- Research has shown that families that live closer to food that is grown, eat better
- Training and education programs
- Green Jobs
- Improved environments increase value to housing and other development
Through a partnership with Fresh Coast Capital, our aim is to improve the food system while creating attractive and viable communities requiring intentional economic strategies aimed at the promotion of healthy community living through green stormwater infrastructure installations. We address the needs described above by promoting the growth of the small urban farming community, coordinating resources within an improved food system while enhancing economic opportunities in the food and agricultural fields.

The Bold Type, a new series set at a Cosmopolitan-like magazine in New York City, is the best surprise of the TV year so far. It’s part journalism drama, part Sex and the City–style female-bonding comedy with sex and romance; it’s equally interested in being both things at once, to the best of its ability, and damned if it doesn’t pull it off more often than you’d think. The show starts tonight on Freeform (formerly ABC Family). Created by Sara Watson, a writer on Parenthood, it keeps putting its central trio of women — Katie Stevens, Meghann Fahy, and Aisha Dee as 20-something besties working at Scarlet magazine — in situations that could seem familiar, even hackneyed, on other shows. But then it surprises you by exploring the heroines’ conflicts from a fresh angle, then ending things on an unresolved or bittersweet note.
It’s also a rare series with a feel for how journalism of all types is actually made in 2017. The heroines’ outlet is upper-echelon: a so-called “legacy” media organization that still produces a glossy print magazine as well as a website and videos, and that apparently has sufficient budget (thanks to covering the visuals-driven fashion industry) to foot the bill for a big staff, a sprawling office, and perks that most click-stained wretches don’t get no matter where they work (such as a vast wardrobe closet that gets raided for fashion shoots but also used for impromptu private conferences and, um, other activities). Sutton (Fahy), Kat (Dee), and Jane (Stevens) are introduced working together in the editorial department, but this isn’t permanent. One of the unexpected pleasures here is the genuine curiosity that The Bold Type displays about these women’s career choices, and how they do or do not get them closer to their dreams, whatever they may be.
As shiny and sumptuous as The Bold Type is — with its young, gorgeous, impeccably dressed core cast, and its Carrie Bradshaw daydream-vision of what it means to be a New York journalist (dating hot guys, wearing great footwear, having sex in apartments with eye-boggling views) — it respects journalism as work, in a way that more outwardly “serious” narratives about the profession sometimes don’t. There’s a scene in an upcoming episode where a story that Jane is excited about falls through when she’s denied access to the subject. After licking her wounds, she realizes she can write a more original, attention-getting piece by fusing the handful of fresh quotes she was able to obtain with the wealth of material that’s already available online. Sutton, meanwhile, ends up being interviewed for a job by a boss (Sam Page of Mad Men) whom she’s furtively sleeping with but hopes to legitimately date one day. The Bold Type is reasonable in how it deals with this breach, noting that the situation is unacceptable, but also that it happens all the time, often without anyone else knowing, because participants realize the penalties that’ll accrue if the truth gets out.
The series is also scrupulous about insisting that this is the story of women, one in which men are lovers, friends, foils, or unpredictable X factors. The male characters are never caricatured — in fact there are points where the show cuts them more slack than they probably deserve. But the show’s gaze, as well as its worldview, are stringently female. This is emphasized by a pop-driven soundtrack dominated by women vocalists, but also by the attention it pays to subtle emotions that women pick up on immediately even as they sail right over the heads of men.
The trio’s acting teamwork jells right away, and they’re equally effective in solo scenes. Kat gets the most compelling story lines at first, becoming so obsessed with a left-wing Muslim lesbian photographer (Nikohl Boosheri) that she starts to question her own supposed straightness, and writing a misogynist troll-baiting piece online and then wondering how long she can withstand a wave of anonymous rape threats without crumbling. The other two leads deepen over time, in less dynamic but equally convincing ways. It’s clear right away that Sutton isn’t someone who’s invested in the grunt work of journalism, or even the most fun parts of the fashion-magazine biz; she’d be better used elsewhere in the organization, but neither she nor her friends know where that might be. Jane, meanwhile, strains to mold herself into a particular kind of writer rather than developing her innate but still unformed natural talents. “I don’t want my writing about sex to be my brand,” she says, which is a bummer for Jane because her writing about sex is both good and popular.
Speaking of Jane’s creative struggles: Best in show goes to the character’s top boss and Scarlet’s editor-in-chief, Jacqueline Carlyle, played by Melora Hardin, a.k.a. Jane Levinson from The Office. It’s refreshing to see the female boss of a major publication portrayed not as a pampered cult leader or a hateful witch on wheels, but simply as a quietly charismatic person who’s great at what she does and derives her power from balancing polite bluntness and tactical silence. The most exciting moments in any of the episodes are the ones where Jacqueline asks a question or makes a demand that an employee didn’t anticipate, then waits patiently for an answer, her mouth fixed in an expression that you wouldn’t dare call a smile for fear that you might be wrong. Hardin walks off with every scene she’s in, often in fabulous shoes: The series introduces her via her feet, which are laced up in red cage heels.
The character is supposedly based on Cosmopolitan’s chief content officer Joanna Coles — and that’s how this series was originally pitched in early press releases, for whatever reason — but Watson and her collaborators treat the character more like John Houseman on The Paper Chase: as a combination supervisor, aspirational figure, and teacher, best used in small but potent doses. Unlike many TV mentor characters, though, Jacqueline’s words of wisdom are actually wise. “You have this idea of the kind of writer you should be,” she tells Jane, “but don’t let it keep you from the kind of writer you could be.” I have no idea what this show eventually could be, but I have faith in the people who make it. Not too many shamelessly entertaining series are as smart as this one.

Where are we and where do we go?
Thus, although the term was first used as a definition of a ‘type’ by Mark Gatiss (in his 2010 documentary on the development of British Horror) to refer to three specific films, the ‘Holy Trinity’ of folk horror (or perhaps more accurately, the three-legged stool upon which all other elements balance) – ‘Witchfinder General’ (Michael Reeves, 1968), ‘The Blood on Satan’s Claw’ (Piers Haggard, 1971), and ‘The Wicker Man’ (Robin Hardy, 1973), it has since extended much further into the cultural consciousness. These films clearly all have something in common (beyond the mounting sense of fear and paranoia). They have a rural setting, a belief in otherworldly powers which sustains and drives the narrative and which operates in opposition to the protagonist, and in each instance the belief and conflict culminates in a penetration by those powers into the ‘present day’ (of the narrative), usually to the detriment of the protagonist. The setting is usually alien to the viewers’ perspective, who operates as the proverbial ‘fish out of water’, and most often the conflict is pitched as past vs present, or tradition vs progress.
This tension is already deeply embedded in the national consciousness of the British, and is inherent in the struggle between town and country which is every bit as much a defining factor in British psyche as that of class (note – there are, of course, many equally valid ‘folk horror’ stories that take place in other countries, and which draw their sensibility from other cultures, other histories, but for the purposes of this article I aim to deal exclusively with those definitions that took Gatiss’s documentary as a starting point, when the genre, somewhat self-consciously, was attempting to identify itself). ‘Quaint’, ‘old-fashioned’, ‘traditional’ are just three of the (more complimentary) words routinely applied by town dwellers to villages and rural settlements, all of which carry the subtext of the strange, otherworldly and forgotten. (Since we all know that anecdotal evidence is extremely reliable, I’ll cite the example of my aunt, who as a young girl so disliked being evacuated to the Sussex countryside that she returned home to the bombs and sirens of the Blitz, refusing ever after to leave London. Now in her redoubtable nineties, she intensely dislikes exchanging her home in an East London high rise for visits to the bucolic surroundings of Kent – ‘it’s all trees’, ‘it’s boring’, ‘don’t know what anyone sees in it’).
The rural, it seems, comes with its own baggage, a resentment of ‘townies’, of those who make a habit of routinely misunderstanding perhaps a slower paced, more reflective, but no less important way of life. Where the pace of modern urban living carries little sway, but despite that all too often influences and dictates how those who dwell elsewhere must live. The hegemony of steel, glass, cars and money overrides the pull of the countryside, but does so at its peril.
It is this mutual distrust – the stranger in a strange land – that is at the very core of folk horror. What we don’t understand will fill us with dread, uncertainty and dislike – and the feeling’s mutual. The very word ‘panic’ derives from the unreasoning terror that comes upon one in the lonely wilderness, in the forest, or by the mist shrouded tarn far from civilisation, the idea that the ‘Great God Pan’ – he of wildness and nature – had drawn close, an amoral, alien presence whose only loyalty was to his charges, not the human waifs who might stumble, witless, into his realm.

Hello, I'm CleanWater.
Say that to Capcom and Resident Evil team too... Lol
I think that if FNAF have so many fans, for the sake of all fans he should keep his good work.
Did you used any MIDI into your old projects? I really got a lot of error messages when importing my GM8 games to GM Studio 1.2.
If they allow us to use MIDI in the games, just like the Game Maker 8 (which is the version I currently use) this will be great for me. If not, at least support for other formats than MP3, like OGG will be wellcome for me.
I downloaded the new Lite version of Game Maker Studio to try it, but couldn't import old projects. Also I had some issues with the sound engine, my sound effects didn't played, this doesn't happens with my Game Maker 8 version.
I hope they fix these issues, Game Maker is a great development tool and is my choice for my works.
We are comrades them... Hehehe...
I will wait for the demo.
Wow, nice project!
The graphics are colorful and well stylished.
When a demo will come out?
I saw the IndieDB button link for your project on Unidev.
Thanks for the comment.
Me too... =P
Good game! ;)

While sometimes forgotten by the troves of travelers to Italy, Bologna is beautiful, charming, and, most important for food lovers like us, delicious.
Enjoying typical Bolognese cuisine isn’t just for tourists. The locals enjoy the classics too. So, here we’re diving into the iconic Bologna food that has given this city its reputation as a bastion of classic Italian cuisine. But before we get into what to eat in Bologna, let’s get into what makes it unique.
A Word On Emilia Romagna
Look on a map, and you’ll see that Bologna is in the Northeast Italian region of Emilia-Romagna. Like neighboring Lombardy, this region runs along the fertile Po Valley, which allows for producing world-class food treasures, like Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and prosciutto di parma.
This region is best known for fast cars (Ferrari, Maserati, and Lamborghini are all based there) and as a world-class spot for some of Italy’s most comforting foods. A few classic dishes from here include pasta like the pumpkin-filled cappellaci, mortadella, tagliatelle al ragù, and tortellini. The three-Michelin star restaurant, Osteria Francescana, is in Emilia Romagna, but most of our travel clients set their sights on the culinary mecca that is Bologna.
What Is Bologna, Italy, Known For?
Bologna is first and foremost known for being the capital of the Emilia-Romagna region and has a reputation for an excellent quality of life thanks to its economic prowess. The city is home to the University of Bologna, the world’s oldest university. The historic city center is noteworthy for being one of Europe’s largest (at more than 350 acres) and having a stunning mix of medieval, renaissance, and baroque architecture.
While travelers love to walk the rose-colored porticoes and climb the historic “Due Torri” towers, we’re fans of its culinary history. During a visit, you visit the gourmet shop Bottega Portici, the historic Mercato delle Erbe, or the FICO Eataly World, a self-described agri-food park that is a few miles north of the city.
What Iconic Bologna Food Should I Try?
As the capital of Emilia-Romagna and the reigning queen of Italian food, Bologna has earned the nicknamed La Grassa or “The Fat One.” And it has plenty of recognizable foods to relish.
Proof of how food dictates everything in Bologna, even the most famous local expression, “Al premm turtel, an ven mai bel” is food-centric. Translating to “the first tortellino never comes out well” means that first attempts are never successful.
When you visit Bologna, your itinerary should be food-centric, so you can try all the Italian classics and leave time for a glass or two of the area’s local wine. Here you have it: the iconic Bologna food you must try on your next trip:
Aceto Balsamico di Modena
The best-known balsamic vinegar in the world is the prized vinegar from Modena. Known in Italian as aceto balsamico di Modena (“ah-che-toe ball-somm-ee-ko dee Moh-deh-nah”), this PDO product is among the most exported products from Italy. The authentic vinegar is made from cooked grape must that is aged in a series of barrels for at least 10 years. You can get into every last about this beloved Italian product here, but our clients love to visit a maker in Emilia-Romagna or try it IRL at the markets in Bologna.
Cotechino di Modena
This pork product has been made in the region since medieval times, and the essential recipe hasn’t changed much. It is a mixture of high-quality ingredients like minced pork meat, fat, and rind, as well as black pepper, nutmeg, and cloves, and it is all stuffed into an intestine casing. Try it whenever you come across it because the recipe changes from butcher to butcher.
Cotoletta alla bolognese
Cotoletta alla Bolognese is a traditional dish of Bologna that is also known as “Petroniana” after the city’s patron saint. It consists of a veal cutlet coated with eggs, flour, and breadcrumbs. While it sounds like cotoletta alla Milanese or schnitzel, it has a different cooking method than those classic recipes. Also, similar to pollo alla valdostana, this dish has cheese, and ham added. But, in an only-in-Emilia-Romagna move, the cheese is Parmigiano Reggiano, and the ham is prosciutto crudo.
Also known as gnocco fritto in Modena and torta fritta in Parma, this traditional street food is a deep-fried dough that puffs up like a beignet. You can find these filled with savory ingredients like salumi, cheese, or sweet versions filled with jam.
Culatello di Zibello
This PDO salami originating in Parma is renowned for being made from the finest pork leg cut. Like prosciutto di Parma this product is salted and left to age for at least 10 months. However, it is generally sweeter and more delicate than prosciutto di parma.
In the states, we’re used to Lambrusco being a sweet, dessert-like wine. But you can find it made correctly in Emilia-Romagna: a dry, bubbly, slightly sparkling deep red wine. Good Lambrusco wine can be found almost anywhere in Bologna. Most restaurants even serve a house carafe of Lambrusco, which I highly recommend getting.
Lasagne Verde alla Bolognese
When you travel to Bologna, you don’t want to look for lasagna but, more specifically, for the traditional dish, lasagna Verde. It is a layered pasta dish with sheets of spinach pasta, cheese, and ragu alla bolognese. Lasagna Verde isn’t cheesy or saucy when done well – just simply layered and satiating. You can find this classic pasta dish anywhere in town, so it is always a good bet.
Mortadella is a distinctly Bolognese charcuterie product that is nothing like the insipid American product known as bologna. This salami is made from pork shoulder, spices, and sometimes pistachios. If you are looking for the best salumi in town, with mortadella at the forefront, go to Salumeria Simoni.
Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese
The “King of Cheeses” in Italy, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, was born in the Emilia-Romagna region. Do yourself a favor and eat lots of this in Bologna (even head to visit a creamery!) because it doesn’t get better or fresher than straight from the source. My favorite place to buy it by the pound is Tamburini in the ancient market area known as Quadrilatero.
Prosciutto Di Parma
If Parmigiano Reggiano is the “King of Cheese, ” Prosciutto di Parma is the “King of salumi.” Dating back to Roman times, this beloved ham is made by salting and aging a pork leg. When buying it at a salumeria (charcuterie shop), ask for sliced paper thin, as this will allow it to dissolve in your mouth rather than being tough or chewy.
Tagliatelle alla Bolognese
Genuine ragu alla bolognese differs from the Bolognese (or meat) sauce in the states. This traditional ragu alla bolognese sauce is slow-cooked. It involves onion, celery, carrot, different types of minced or finely chopped meat, white wine, milk, and a tiny amount of tomato concentrate. Traditionally ragu alla bolognese is paired with tagliatelle, a flat, ribbon-like egg pasta. My favorite tagliatelle alla bolognese in the city is from Trattoria Mariposa.
Tortelloni Burro e Salvia
Snag the traditional tortelloni burro e salvia at any trattoria in town or at my favorite contemporary eatery, Bottega Portici. More significant than the better-known tortellini pasta, tortelloni is classically served with butter and sage. Does it get more comforting than this?
Tortellini en Brodo
Depending on who you ask, the ring-shaped (or belly button-shaped) stuffed pasta, known as tortellini, was born in Bologna. Traditionally, Bolognese people eat it in a bowl of broth and topped with a lot of Parmigiano-Reggiano. The best tortellini en brodo in the city is from Trattoria Anna Maria. They have been making their prized tortellini by hand for over thirty years.

In order to reduce stormwater pollution during and after construction, site owners and operators are required to create and adhere to a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP). The City of Rochester conducts regular inspections to insure construction sites are in compliance with stormwater best management practices.
In this section:
- Stabilized Vehicle Entrances to Prevent Street Tracking
- Inlet Protection
- Perimeter Controls
- Waste Receptacles
- Concrete Washout Sites
- City of Rochester
- Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
- Minnesota Erosion Control Association (MECA) Website
Stabilized Vehicle Entrances to Prevent Street Tracking
|Vehicles leaving construction sites track sediment onto adjoining roadways. This sediment can create serious safety hazards as well as contribute significantly to sediment pollution problems in waterways. Stabilized vehicle entrances are typically an area covered by 6 inches of rocks (ranging in size from 1.5 to 3 inches) that remove mud from the tires of vehicles as they exit the building site and enter the street. Sediment tracked offsite must be removed within 24 hours of discovery to prevent it from being washed away by stormwater and to avoid a safety hazard. It is important to note that street sweeping to remove sediment tracked to the street is required, but it is NOT an alternative to having a stabilized vehicle entrance.|
The goal of stormwater inlet protection is to trap sediment from a construction site before it enters an inlet. This will keep sediment from being transported to lakes or streams and can also prevent clogging of the inlet caused by heavy sediment loads. A stormwater inlet refers to manholes, catch basins, curb inlets and other drop-type structures constructed to direct stormwater into storm sewers or other underground drainage systems. Inlet protection best management practices (BMPs) are fairly inexpensive, easy to construct, and if maintained properly can successfully reduce sediments from entering our waterways. Inlet protection BMPs should be installed prior to any soil disturbance taking place where stormwater systems are in place or as soon as storm sewer systems are constructed and inlets begin collection stormwater.
Perimeter control is a method of sediment control best management practices (BMPs) that acts as a barrier to retain sediment on a construction site. Sediment control BMPs are intended to slow and hold stormwater, filter runoff, and promote the settling of sediment out of runoff. The perimeter sediment control BMPs must be established before any land disturbing activities begin and must remain in place until final stabilization has been established. Silt fence is a commonly known method of perimeter control; however, other types of perimeter controls exist that can be equally or even be more effective depending on the construction site circumstances. Examples of other BMPs include: ditch checks, rock logs, compost/sod berms, and existing vegetation.
Construction sites are required to properly dispose of solid waste and hazardous materials. Collected sediment, asphalt and concrete millings, floating debris, paper, plastic, fabric, construction and demolition debris and other wastes must be collected and disposed of properly and must comply with MPCA disposal requirements. Waste receptacles should be covered to prevent the wind from causing unintentional litter. Products that have the potential to leach pollutants into stormwater must be covered by plastic sheeting or temporary roofs. Hazardous materials and toxic waste must be properly stored in sealed containers to prevent spills and leaks.

The Diabetes 10 Point Training (D10PT) programme is now available to health and social care staff as part of the Cambridge Diabetes Education Programme (CDEP).
The launch of this partnership during Diabetes Week 2022, which runs from June 13 to 19, is part of the wider national drive to improve diabetes care.
The CDEP has partnered with the North West London Integrated Care System and North West London Clinical Commissioning Group to host this training, which was developed by Diabetes Nurse Consultant Ruth Miller.
CDEP is a multi award-winning national competency-based e-learning platform that aims to upskill all levels of healthcare staff working in diabetes care.
Arming health staff and carers with access to diabetes education is fundamental to providing high-quality care – this partnership will ensure widespread access across North West London, and beyond, to the knowledge needed to achieve this. CDEP Lead Candice Ward
The move will mean healthcare staff and carers coming into contact with people living with diabetes will have free online access to the Diabetes 10 Point Training Programme.
CDEP Lead Candice Ward said: “Having been a huge admirer of Diabetes 10 Point Training, we are thrilled to welcome this excellent programme to be part of the CDEP family. Arming health staff and carers with access to diabetes education is fundamental to providing high-quality care – this partnership will ensure widespread access across North West London, and beyond, to the knowledge needed to achieve this.”
Dr Mathi Woodhouse, GP and Clinical Lead for Diabetes North West London, said: “This training programme has already provided great results in terms of improving staff knowledge of managing patients with diabetes and improving safety. The confidence this has provided teams previously underserved has been well received, including mental teams and care homes.

BDP states need to address Kurdish question in open and frank way
BDP MP Fatma Kurtulan presented a parliamentary research motion on declaring and researching the obstacles in front of the Kurdish problem. Mentioning the fact that former president Turgut Ozal’s death was suspicious, 50 thousand people have lost their life and more than 3 million people are displaced Kurtulan wanted opening negotiations with the PKK and revealing the truths.
Kurtulan while stating that military methods cannot solve the problem said that for a peaceful democratic solution a social consensus is needed and it cannot happen unless all the truths which have been hidden so far revealed.
In her 3-page motion Kurtulan mentioned these grounds.
Kurds are prevented
The government ignores the democratic right of the Kurds, incites the clashes in accordance with its own interest and the Kurds are prevented from politics.
Fifty thousand persons were killed
Due to denial and destruction policy of the officials 50 thousand people have lost their loves in the clashes and approximately 5 thousand Kurdish villages have been burnt down and destroyed.
Suspicious death of Ozal
Many politicians and military members including the 8th president of Turkey Turgut Ozal and General Commander of Gendarmerie Esref Bitlis have lost their lives in suspicious ways. 17 thousand people became victims of the extrajudicial killings by the illegal organisations formed within the state itself.
Three million Internally Displaced Persons
Due to village destructions almost 3 million have been displaced and millions of dollars have been spent on weapons which were used to destroy the nature and forests in the region. Village guards have become crime machines and involved numberless crimes. In the EU membership process several treaties are waiting to be singed but just because they will justify the Kurdish demands they are being suspended.
The countries who had similar problems like Turkey could get over them with Truth Commissions. These commissions can help the country create a mutual trust and solve the problems.
Negotiations with the PKK
While forming such commissions it will also be necessary to meet PKK side in order to reach reconciliation.

After years of restrictions, the use of the Internet will likely be liberalized for use in election campaigns. According to the Daily Yomiuri, one of Japan’s leading dailies, the nation’s major political parties have jointly agreed to allow the use of services, like Twitter, during future campaigns.
Drafted by the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and the opposing Democratic Party of Japan, the proposed bills offer revisions to the Public Offices Election Law and other assorted regulations. Specifically, the propositions lift or alter restrictions that were placed on the use of e-mail and social networking services. Further, the bills also describe penalties for those found guilty of falsifying information or slander. In an interview last month, current Prime Minister Shinzo Abe expressed his support of the changes, stating, “The Internet is an effective way to convey opinions to a large number of people.”
The strides toward liberalization of Internet usage in campaigns come largely in response to the growing number of Facebook and Twitter users. Not surprisingly, many of these users come from the younger generation, who’ve been viewed as partially apathetic to politics by some. An increased penetration in social media could arguably alleviate this, forming a better connection between the government and its younger citizens.

Katy Perry, acclaimed for her successes, recently shared her journey from growing up dependent on food stamps to co-founding the Firework Foundation with her sister Angela Hudson Lerche. The foundation aims to give children in underserved communities the opportunity to explore the arts. Perry’s candid revelations come amid preparations for a fundraising event aimed at expanding the foundation’s reach.
From humble beginnings to global stardom
Growing up in Santa Barbara, California, Perry and her family often relied on food stamps and food banks for their meals. Despite these challenges, Perry’s passion for music never wavered. She recounts her teenage years spent busking on the streets, aspiring to earn enough money to meet her basic needs. These experiences imbued Perry with a deep desire to make a difference beyond his musical career. Along with her sister Angela, they launched the Firework Foundation in 2018, dedicated to providing arts education to children who might otherwise be denied such opportunities.
Lighting dreams at camp fireworks
The Firework Foundation’s flagship initiative is Camp Firework, a shelter where more than 400 middle school students have engaged in creative arts programs, ranging from songwriting to shoe design. Perry and Angela play an active role in camp, leading sessions and interacting closely with campers. Perry hopes his involvement will show campers that they, too, can achieve their dreams despite obstacles. The foundation also emphasizes the importance of mental health by teaching campers transcendental meditation, equipping them with tools to manage stress and anxiety.
A legacy beyond music
As Perry reflects on her journey and the impact of the Firework Foundation, she envisions a legacy that transcends her musical accomplishments. The foundation’s successes, including those of campers who have continued to participate in its Leaders in Training program and partner with prestigious schools, are a testament to its transformative impact. Angela Hudson Lerche echoes her sister’s sentiment, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to inspire and support these young minds. For Katy Perry, the ultimate accomplishment would come from the Firework Foundation’s lasting influence on future generations, long after her songs have faded from public memory.
In her quest to empower children through the arts, Katy Perry demonstrates the transformative power of compassion and creativity. The Firework Foundation is a beacon of hope, proving that with support and dedication, children from all backgrounds can pursue their dreams and achieve greatness.

In light of Friday’s strong jobs report, on MSNBC’s Morning Joe today, Steven Rattner charted the labor market’s ongoing recovery, highlighting the continued gap between available jobs and workers as well as the duel between rising wages and rising prices.
In the search for villains in last Tuesday’s disastrous election results for the Democrats, many fingers have been pointed at the state of economy – jobs and inflation. Unfortunately for the Democrats, the election came a few days too early; Friday’s jobs report provided some much-needed good news.
First, of course, was the 531,000 new jobs created in October, a strong number in any month but a particularly reassuring one after two months of anemic job additions. And the report contained another measure of good news: revisions to the prior two months of jobs figures that have now added 366,000 more jobs to the preliminary tallies for those months. Indeed, among the first nine months of 2021, early results were increased in seven of them. In only one was the first report revised down and in one, it remained virtually unchanged. All told, the upward revisions added 20% to the number of new jobs initially reported, good news that has almost surely passed by most Americans unnoticed.
Even with the increase in filled jobs, an estimated 11 million jobs remain unfilled at the moment; 1.5 open jobs for each American looking for work, by far a record. That’s due in part to the large number of Americans who have dropped out of the labor force. Labor force participation went unchanged in Friday’s report, and there remain 3 million fewer members of the labor force than there were before the pandemic. Some of that decline is due to retirements (and some of that stems from early retirements as a result of the pandemic). Another chunk relates to the economic disruption from Covid. But nearly half of the gap remains unexplained — is it the lingering effects of large unemployment benefits? Childcare challenges? Health worries? Whatever the reason, in order to keep the economy moving upward, we need to encourage these Americans to return to work.
Friday’s report had good news on wages — they rose by 6% compared to a year earlier. And they grew particularly rapidly in sectors like hospitality, typically lower paid areas. But for many, the good news on wages has been more than overwhelmed by bad news on prices, particularly for everyday items. Gasoline, at nearly $3.50 a gallon across the nation, is up 19% since just before the pandemic arrived. Household appliances are up by 20%, in part due to supply chain problems. Chicken prices have risen by 15%. And on and on.

|Dancing On Stage with my baby to popular music|
This week over on Stirring Trouble Internationally Adam Lovejoy airs his views on why dancing to popular music is uncoordinated and basically a bit sloppy.
Dancing is by far one of the most easiest ways to stay in shape and to create harmony in your relationships.
Dancing is very euphoric and is a great way to heighten your vibration and in turn bring you more energy throughout the day. If you find dancing exciting then you should first find a type of music you like before dancing, else you may look a bit silly.
Understanding the music you are listening to is a good tip.
If you do not wish for any distractions whilst listening to music you can try listening to the instrumental version. You could even try listening to classical music, if you know the particular dance then you can dance to that.
Statistically you and your dancing say a lot of about who you are, if you are dancing to rubbish in a silly way they that could be perceived as you looking like rubbish and not really knowing what you are doing.
Its best to get the dancing sorted out, then you can go out and show the world what you can do. Some people even go on telly and do it.
Here in the UK there is a television show called Come Dancing and a lot of people like to watch that, rather than chance actually going out for a dance themselves. You can learn a lot from watching people dance, the worst that can happen is you will learn a few moves when dancing with your baby to popular music that you enjoy listening too.
He takes a look at the youth of today and has a rants about dancing to popular music and offers three simple solutions to stamp into these things in society today.

Sebastien Loeb joins Hyundai for six events in 2019 WRC season
The rumours were confirmed today: the nine-time world rally champion Sebastien Loeb has signed a two-year contract with Hyundai Motorsport and will participate in six events of the 2019 FIA World Rally Championship season, together with his longtime navigator Daniel Elena.
Loeb will share the third Hyundai i20 WRC with Dani Sordo while Thierry Neuville and Andreas Mikkelsen will have full-time programmes with the Korean manufacturer. Loeb’s programme will begin with the season-opening Rallye Monte-Carlo (January 24 – 27) and then he will drive Hyundai i20 at Rally Sweden. Sordo’s first event in 2019 would be Rally Mexico in March.
“Winning at Rally de Espana this season reignited my desire to continue competing at the very front of WRC. Joining Hyundai will give us a fresh challenge and one that I can’t wait to tackle,” said Sebastien Loeb.
“Sealing a deal with someone of his immense talent and calibre shows that we are an attractive and competitive proposition in the FIA World Rally Championship. Ultimately, our goal is to win the WRC title. We believe we have the package to achieve that, and our composition of crews for 2019 will perfectly reflect that ambition,” said Hyundai team principal Michel Nandan.

On the night of 22 June 2018, with the blood of their dogs still fresh on their hands, two men, Tebogo Maselwane and Thato Manzini, tried to evade NSPCA inspectors and South African Police Services (SAPS) K9 officers after having made their Pit bull Terriers participate in a violent organised dog fight.
Today, all those who worked tirelessly that night to secure the apprehension of nine accused men and the rescue of 14 dogs celebrate the ruling of the honourable Magistrate P. Lourens who sentenced two of the accused to direct imprisonment without suspension or the option of a fine, stating that “It is necessary that this evil be addressed- because this, is evil”
During sentencing Magistrate Lourens spoke to how organised dogfighting encourages and condones a level of cruelty that is abhorrent and detestable in the mind of any reasonable or civilised person and that we have reached a level of civilisation and constitutional values where a clear message has to be sent out to the people who want to commit these heinous and barbaric acts, that they will be punished and not just acknowledged.
The decision of the two accused to plead guilty became a neutral factor in the face of the evidence against them. Their relative youth, although usually a mitigating factor, was also discounted due to the viciousness of their deeds outweighing their immaturity and the premeditated nature of their actions.
In addition to imprisonment the accused were also declared unfit to own firearms or own or care for any species of animal of any kind for five years.
The Court thanked veterinarian Dr. Bryce Marock as well as Senior Inspector Wendy Willson and Inspector Nadia Hansa of the NSPCA’s Special Investigations Unit for their testimonials, recognising their dedication and the sacrifices that a Non-Profit Organisation would incur to battle and combat this crime.
The dogs in question paid with their lives for the sick satisfaction of others and the NSPCA wishes to thank State Prosecutor Vuyo Lutywantsi for his professional and swift handling of the case, the community members of Atteridgeville who’s sense of morality and reporting of the crime resulted in justice for all, the donations of caring South Africans and the support of the DogsTrust Worldwide, without which, rescues of this nature simply would not be possible.
The court case against the remaining seven accused continues on the 13th of November.

Unintended reverberation, or "echoing," from your computer speakers is a common problem that can arise from improper setup of your audio properties.
Resetting all of your audio information to default will correct this problem, allowing you another chance to strike a good balance to satisfy your audio tastes.
This can be accomplished by accessing the Sounds menu in your operating system.
Select the "Start" menu from the bottom-left corner of your screen, and click on "Control Panel." Find the "hardware and Sound" button and click to select.
Click on the sound icon and select the third tab labeled "Sounds" in the window that appears. A list of sounds will appear, beginning with "Asterisk." Click on a sound to highlight and select test.
Listen to hear if the echoing problem occurs.
If it does, you need to configure your speakers or check to see if it is a third-party issue.
Select the first tab labeled "Playback" from the same window. Right-click on the "Speakers" icon. Click on "Configure Speakers" from the top of the list.
Choose a setup from the list that appears and select test to test different sound configurations for the speakers.
Listen to decipher if one configuration has less echo than another. If so, choose the speaker configuration without the echo to fix the problem.
However, if none of the configurations remove the echo, you need to attempt to troubleshoot the issue from "Safe Mode."
Turn on your computer if it is off or restart your computer. Continuously press the "F8" key until the "Advance Boot Options" screen appears.
Use your arrow keys to navigate the screen, pressing down until you have highlighted the "Safe Mode" option. Hit "Enter" to select. Wait for the drivers to load.
Log on from the "Administrator" account. Test the sounds again, and if the echo does not occur, the cause is a third-party driver or service.
hope this helps

Although it may be called “Alice in Wonderland,” director Tim Burton and screenwriter Linda Woolverton (“The Lion King”) have taken substantial liberties with Lewis Carroll’s original stories, a decision that may infuriate purists but one that actually turns out to be somewhat shrewd.
Considering how many times filmmakers have put “Alice” in front of the cameras, it’s surprising how few of the adaptations have worked. The major obstacle is the scattershot structure of Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking-Glass”: They’re primarily collections of whimsical anecdotes that don’t necessarily coalesce into a plot. So many screen versions of “Alice” have turned into little more than fanciful variety shows, with Alice meandering from one crazy character to the next.
|REVIEW: 3 OUT OF 4 STARS|
'Alice in Wonderland'
PG for fantasy action/violence involving scary images and situations, and for a smoking caterpillar
Cast: Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Crispin Glover
Director: Tim Burton
Format: Available in 3D and 2D
Run time: 108 minutes
Midnight sneaks: Rave Cityplace 14, Kalamazoo 10 and Celebration! Crossroads
Also showing Friday: Gull Road Cinema 5, Three Rivers 6, Lakeview Square Cinema in Battle Creek, W. Columbia 7 in Battle Creek, Strand in Sturgis
“You’d think she remembered this from the first time,” says the White Rabbit (voiced by Michael Sheen). Alas, Alice has convinced herself her previous trip to Wonderland was nothing but a peculiar dream and, for a while, she’s adamant she will soon snap out of this nightmare as well. The residents of Wonderland — or, as they refer to it, Underland — have other plans for her, however.
They’re counting on Alice to bring down the foul-tempered tyrant the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter, with a huge, digitally distorted head precariously perched atop a diminutive body). According to an “oraculum,” Alice is destined to defeat the Red Queen’s fire-breathing Jabberwocky and restore the benign White Queen (Anne Hathaway) to the throne. But even the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) is slightly skeptical.
“You were much more muchier” the first time around, he tells Alice. “You’ve lost your muchness.”
Carroll cultists may be quick to say “Alice” has lost much of its whimsy in Woolverton’s revision and, admittedly, the movie sometimes seems uncertain of whether it wants to be a trippy comedy or a more straightforward action-fantasy along the lines of the “Lord of the Rings” epics or the “Narnia” films. Woolverton also co-wrote “Mulan,” and “Alice” has a similar message about questioning the status quo and breaking down gender barriers, although a hastily tacked-on ending seems almost as absurd as anything Alice experiences in Wonderland.
But if the story leaves something to be desired, the movie is a veritable typhoon of enchanting eye candy. The details are magnificent, from the neon-blue stripes of the beguiling Cheshire Cat (given a rich purr of a voice by Stephen Fry) to the tiny, icicle-like eyelashes of the Mad Hatter. Equally impressive are Bonham Carter’s hilariously hideous hairdo — which looks like Lucille Ball collided with a mushroom cloud — and the Red Queen’s dedicated army of metallic playing cards the size of linebackers.
There is also more than a hint of darkness underlying much of the movie. Alice crosses a swamp into the Red Queen’s domain by tiptoeing over an assortment of frozen, gray faces floating in the muck; eyes are plucked out; dismembered, withered fingers are dropped into mysterious brews.
Burton wisely steers the actors toward quirkiness instead of campiness. Bonham Carter is at her prissy-hissy best as the volcanic villain, and Crispin Glover is suitably slimy as her consort, the Knave of Hearts. Hathaway, offsetting her snowy skin and white gowns with black-cherry lipstick and Goth eye makeup, drifts around deliriously, as if the White Queen was a spacey spokesmodel waiting for the after-effects of her sleeping pill to wear off.
Depp brings the necessary anarchic spirit to the Mad Hatter, yet he also shows a tenderness and vulnerability that call to mind Edward Scissorhands, the first character he created for Burton.
Their 20-year-long association has produced many opulent, offbeat projects; “Alice” is a worthy addition to their catalog.

About 1 in every 2 cats in the US are obese. Other kitties struggle to keep weight on. We’ll prescribe a nutritional meal plan for your cat.
With hundreds of choices of cat food, how do you decide what’s best for your cat? Everyone seems to have an opinion on what’s best. As feline veterinarians, we have extensive training, and take the time to make individualized recommendations for your cat, based on your cat’s health or medical needs, and the most up-to-date science.
Being overweight or obese is the most common nutritional disease in cats, with 40-50% of cats in the United States affected. Even though they don’t really watch a lot of TV and drink beer, they are overweight because they are often sedentary and eat too much, or at least too much of a diet that is high in calories.
Preventing obesity increases lifespan and makes your cat more comfortable. It also prevents several health problems, including those that overweight people also have – diabetes, arthritis, and other problems. We assess weight and body condition at each examination.
Are you worried about your cats weight? Please call and we will help. Most importantly, don’t start your cat on “a diet” yourself – a life-threatening health condition can occur if weight loss is too rapid. We are glad to help so that your kitty can be as healthy as possible, and able to jump to all the favorite places. We will recommend a nutritional plan, and calculate out the calories needed by your cat, the amount to feed, and how best to feed your cat so that he or she will still be satisfied.

Spanish company Cadena de Suministro has convened key players of E-commerce in Spain in a round table discussion focused on the challenges posed by the growth of electronic commerce from a point of view of logistics management. The event brought together numerous leading companies from the sector.
Electronic commerce will continue to grow in the coming few years at the pace it has been doing in the last three years. Gradually, new e-commerce specific products will be incorporated into the supply chain and, in addition, delivery services will be extended to smaller population and rural areas.
The round table on the logistics of electronic commerce was held in Madrid on February 27, and was organized by Cadena de Suministro with the sponsorship of Mercedes-Benz Vans. The event was attended by Álvaro Ruíz de Gordoa, commercial director of Transportes Boyacá, Oriol López, commercial director of Celéritas, Santiago Mallo director of Logistics of Citibox, Alberto Marcos, manager of e-commerce of Correos Express, Juan Alonso, manager of the project Citylogin of FM Logistic, Daniel Pastrana manager of B2C of DHL Parcel, Francisco Castillo, production and IT manager of Dachser, Aitor Ojanguren, general director of Koiki, Noelia Lázaro, marketing director of Packlink, Juan Pérez de Lema, operations director of Seur, Antonio Fueyo, general director of Tipsa, Francisco Aranda, secretary general de Uno, and Carlos Nieto, director of Marketing and Product of Mercedes Benz Vans, with the moderation of Ricardo Ochoa de Aspuru, director of Cadena de Suministro.
This sustained growth of electronic commerce planned for the coming years in double-digit volumes will demand new solutions from the logistics sector, in order to extend the area of coverage of e-commerce deliveries, whether at home, point of convenience networks, as well as to service deliveries of food products, among others.
Economic and environmental sustainability
In addition to facing this growth, logistics will also have to face other major challenges related to the sustainability of the electronic commerce supply chain, both from an economic point of view and from an environmental point of view.
From the economic point of view, there is a consensus in the sector on the need to look for new alternatives for home deliveries, especially in the context in which the municipal regulations for access to urban centers are more restrictive.
Likewise, with the generalization of the use of slogans and points of convenience, the logistics sector seeks to gain profitability and efficiency, while improving customer service, avoiding failed deliveries and improving reverse logistics to provide an optimum return service.
New services for other ways to buy
At the same time, logistics companies are also developing new services associated with electronic commerce such as night deliveries or the diversification of delivery emergencies, ranging from ultra-fast deliveries in two hours to scheduled services with periods of 48 hours, with the goal of adapting its services to the requirements and needs of the clients, as well as optimising the management of equipment and human resources.
The adaptation of logistics companies to the changes that are taking place in consumer models (which, for example, will imply changes in the concept of physical stores, which will become spaces in which to foster new experiences for customers – showrooms) and in the needs of electronic commerce, which will involve more investments in information technologies, equipment and personnel that, in the opinion of the main packagers of the country, will be reflected in the prices if a sustainable model is sought.
Thus, the emergence of new consumer models implies a clear trend towards omni-channels with which we want to provide closer and more personalized services and in which physical stores will evolve to offer new shopping experiences.
From the environmental point of view, the logistics sector seeks a balance between the reduction of emissions and the profitability of economic means.
The reduction of polluting emissions associated with logistic activities will imply the use of vehicles with alternative energies, as well as diesel units that are less polluting. In this sense, according to Mercedes-Benz Vans, a sponsor of the round table, the future of urban distribution of electronic commerce products inevitably involves the use of electric vehicles, with gas-powered units as an intermediate step.
Electromobility and connectivity, tools for the future
The manufacturers are working intensively to put vehicles with load capacities and autonomies similar to those with their diesel equivalents on the market as soon as possible, with advantages associated with a greater degree of connectivity that helps in the optimisation of routes and brings about a more rational use of transportation equipment in congested environments.
Likewise, environmental sustainability will mark an increase in investments in information technology for logistics operators in order to improve the management of transport fleets and optimize the use of vehicles, to achieve greater profitability and better service to the clients through the use of more powerful traceability tools that allow the sector to take advantage of the huge volume of data produced by the movement of merchandise across the supply chain through big data applications.
This last element, in the opinion of the operators and the parcel companies, constitutes an important lever of growth for the future. Not in vain is logistics the visible face for the final consumer of electronic commerce and plays a fundamental role in the valuation of the service itself and in customer loyalty.

The left-wing, anti-Trump machine rolled the impeachment vote through the House with hardly a bump along the way. But a certain senator from Missouri is making sure the Senate trial is a much different experience.
But that’s not all Hawley did.
On his official Twitter account, Hawley called the impeachment proceedings “bogus.”
Dems said impeachment was URGENT. Now they don’t want to have a trial, because they have no evidence. In real world, if prosecution doesn’t proceed with case, it gets dismissed. So on Monday, I will introduce measure to dismiss this bogus impeachment for lack of prosecution
— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) January 2, 2020
But Hawley wasn’t done. He slammed the impeachment and Nancy Pelosi again in his official statement on the resolution, writing:
Speaker Pelosi started this bogus impeachment by claiming President Trump was an urgent ‘threat to democracy’ who had to be removed now. But after a bipartisan vote against the articles in the House, and with the public opposed to the Democrats’ partisan games, Pelosi has changed her tune. Now she wants to prevent a Senate trial, perhaps indefinitely. But the Constitution gives the Senate sole power to adjudicate articles of impeachment, not the House. If Speaker Pelosi is afraid to try her case, the articles should be dismissed for failure to prosecute and Congress should get back to doing the people’s business.
Hawley’s resolution comes with strong support from many senators, including Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Tom Cotton (R-AR).

Why does Media Matters get my tax dollars?
In the groupâ€™s tax-exempt application, which was requested and acquired by The Daily Caller, progressive non-profit made its intentions clear.
â€œMedia Matters for America (MMA) believes that news reporting and analysis by the American media, with its eye on profit margin and preservation of the status quo, has become biased,â€ reads the application. â€œIt is common for news and commentary by the press to present viewpoints that tend to overly promote corporate interests, the rights of the wealthy, and a conservative, Christian-influenced ideology.â€
In terms of the more general charge that the media are widely conservative, this contradicts nearly every study conducted on media messaging. Overwhelmingly, outlets, newspapers â€” practically every form of the press â€” has been found to have a leftist slant (at least in the eyes of the American public).
â€œThe majority of Americans (60%) also continue to perceive bias, with 47% saying the media are too liberal and 13% saying they are too conservative,â€ Gallup reportedback in 2011. â€œThe percentage of Americans who say the media are â€˜just about rightâ€™ edged up to 36% this year but remains in the range Gallup has found historically.â€
So, on what information was Media Matters predicating its conservative bias charges? Moreover, the mention of Christianity is also an eyebrow-raiser, mostly because it seems to showcase a concerted effort to counter faith influence in the public sphere.

Make sure you see this dynamic new film release. It’s an independent film directed by 21 year old Sebastien Thiel and produced by Kingdom Vision. Illegal Activity serves as a unique reading campaign, aimed at encouraging literacy amongst the hard-to-reach youths.
Set in a rough housing estate in London, nothing on this block is quite how it seems. The film cleverly misleads and has its viewer believe it is all about dealing drugs, until the final few minutes. We find out the film is actually about dealing books and it ends with the thought-provoking question – ‘If books were illegal, would we read more?’
This non-profit film was preceded by a trailer in December, which gained 1,943 views in just the four hours it was made available. Warner Bros hosted a private screening of the film at its preview theatre and there was an exclusive screening held at the BAFTA. Illegal Activity has already received great feedback from many media outlets. This outstanding display of creativity amassed over 42,000 views on YouTube in less than a week and over 83,000 views on World Star Hip Hop. It was also the top trending topic on Twitter upon its release.
There are some familiar faces in Illegal Activity, including cameos from Sway, Richie Campbell and Shanika Warren-Markland . There’s also up and coming actors in the film, such as Freida Thiel (Law & Order, Casualty) and Jerome Holder (Shank).
