NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Washington cornerback Josh Norman sat in his locker still in his uniform 45 minutes after the Redskins' latest and costliest loss.
Norman and the rest of the Redskins left all they had left on the field.
Josh Johnson threw for 153 yards and a touchdown in his second straight start as Washington's fourth different quarterback this season only to be intercepted not once, but twice in the final 1:17 Saturday in a 25-16 loss to the Tennessee Titans.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Josh Johnson's Madden rating should get a bump after his first NFL start in seven years.
Johnson, who played Madden NFL 19 to learn his new teammates' names, led Washington on two scoring drives in the fourth quarter to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 16-13 on Sunday.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Cover your eyes, folks. This one could be ugly, even by late-season NFL standards.
When the Washington Redskins and Jacksonville Jaguars take the field Sunday, it might look a little like a preseason game. The dreaded fourth preseason game, too.
WASHINGTON (AP) — This is what it's come to for the Washington Redskins: Their fourth quarterback of a once-promising, now-lost season, Josh Johnson, will be making his first NFL start since 2011 and spent time playing the "Madden NFL" video game to try to pick up something about his new teammates.
"I learned their names, first and foremost," Johnson said with a smile.
Josh Johnson is accustomed to moving around the NFL. On Wednesday, he moved from one league to another.
Johnson was the first player protected last week in a quarterbacks-only draft held by the Alliance of American Football, which will begin play the weekend after the Super Bowl in February. His rights in the eight-team spring league were owned by the San Diego Fleet.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — The injuries keep mounting for the Washington Redskins, who put three more players on injured reserve Wednesday to raise their season total to 17: starting cornerback Quinton Dunbar, receiver Trey Quinn and guard Jonathan Cooper.
In other moves, the Redskins (6-6) signed Josh Johnson to be their backup quarterback against the visiting New York Giants (4-8) on Sunday and added guard Zac Kerin, center Demetrius Rhaney and defensive end Marcus Smith as free agents.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — The Latest on the Washington Redskins' quarterback situation (all times local):
Coach Jay Gruden says the Washington Redskins are signing quarterback Mark Sanchez to back up Colt McCoy after Alex Smith's season-ending injury.
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders have released quarterback Josh Johnson.
The team announced the move on Thursday to cut Johnson and go down to three quarterbacks on the roster. Johnson was signed this offseason to compete for a backup spot with EJ Manuel and Connor Cook behind starter Derek Carr.
Johnson has played in 29 games with five starts over his 10-year career. He has completed 54.2 percent of his passes for 1,042 yards, five touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders have signed free agent quarterback Josh Johnson to compete for the backup position.
The team on Monday also officially announced the signing of cornerback Shareece Wright, who said last week he agreed to join the Raiders, and the details of a trade agreed to over the weekend that sent kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson to New England.

HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans have signed free agent quarterback Josh Johnson and released Matt McGloin.
The moves come a day after coach Bill O'Brien said they had discussed the possibility of adding Colin Kaepernick in the wake of a season-ending knee injury to rookie Deshaun Watson.
Instead of adding Kaepernick, the former 49ers quarterback who began the protest movement by kneeling during the national anthem last season, Houston chose Johnson to be its third quarterback.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Geno Smith is back in the NFL.
Smith completed a remarkable comeback from major knee surgery last season and his subsequent release by the Jets after an inconsistent tenure. He made the New York Giants' roster as Eli Manning's backup. At least for now.
The 26-year-old Smith edged fellow veteran Josh Johnson for the No. 2 spot, with third-round draft pick Davis Webb waiting in the wings.
The decision was one of several tough ones Saturday for coach Ben McAdoo.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Giants coach Ben McAdoo feels like he has more than 53 players who can play. But like every other NFL team, he has until Saturday afternoon to cut the roster from 90 players to the limit for opening day.
"We have some depth, we had some good competition and at the positions we needed to see a lot out of last night, they stood up and they played and they competed," McAdoo said Friday. It was exciting to watch and it made our job even harder, but that's good."
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Playing the New York Jets is going to be special for Geno Smith.
Not only is it a chance for the 26-year-old to nail down the Giants' backup quarterback job in the annual preseason game against the Jets on Saturday, but it's a shot for the former Jets' second-round pick in 2013 to show his old team they made a mistake waiving him earlier this year after an up and mostly down four-year stint.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — For the past two seasons, Eli Manning has felt a little awkward heading into the New York Giants' preseason opener.
It has nothing to do with the football. It's the lack of it that has bothered the two-time Super Bowl MVP.
Coach Ben McAdoo has sat Manning in the preseason opener the past two seasons and he has been forced to watch Ryan Nassib get the start last year and Josh Johnson get the call this year.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The fight for the New York Giants' backup quarterback job is taking on a new dimension.
Heading into the preseason opener, veterans Geno Smith and Josh Johnson seemed to be dueling for the job as Eli Manning's understudy with third-round draft pick Davis Webb expected to be given a year to learn coach Ben McAdoo's system as the No. 3 quarterback.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — If Geno Smith is going to win the backup quarterback job with New York Giants, the real competition starts Friday.
For the past two weeks in training camp, Smith and fellow veteran Josh Johnson have alternated as the No. 2 quarterback behind two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning. Rookie draft pick Davis Webb has barely seen any action.
Manning and Webb, the third-round draft pick out of California, have their spots on the roster set.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Eli Manning didn't play a lot in the preseason a year ago for the New York Giants and that may not change this year.
Manning appeared in two of the four preseason games in 2016 and threw 38 passes before leading the Giants to an 11-5 record and their first playoff appearance since the 2011 Super Bowl season.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Geno Smith didn't catch a break in his final two seasons with the New York Jets, and it seems his chances of resurrecting his career with the Giants are facing obstacles.
Not only does Smith have to beat out incumbent Josh Johnson for the backup quarterback job to Eli Manning, his prospects of making the team took another hit in the NFL draft when the Giants selected Davis Webb with their third-round draft pick.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Eagles get back their starting right tackle for Thursday night's game against the New York Giants.
Lane Johnson returns from a 10-game suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancers policy and will start.
New York's key inactive is cornerback Janoris Jenkins, their best cover man. He has a back problem.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New York Giants have placed running back Shane Vereen and backup quarterback Ryan Nassib on injured reserve.
The Giants announced the moves Tuesday, a day after disclosing that Vereen had reinjured the triceps muscle that put him on injured reserve after the third week of the season. Nassib has had a recurring elbow injury this season.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans are without three starters against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night, including half of their secondary.
The Titans already had declared safety Rashad Johnson (neck) and cornerback Perrish Cox (concussion) out, and Daimion Stafford will start at safety with Brice McCain at cornerback. Brian Schwenke will start at left guard with Quinton Spain (bruised right knee) out.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New York Giants have signed veteran quarterback Josh Johnson and terminated the contract of middle linebacker Jasper Brinkley.
The Giants announced the moves Monday as they began preparing for the season opener against Dallas.
The signing of Johnson gives New York three quarterbacks for the first time since 2013. He joins Eli Manning and backup Ryan Nassib.
After two years in the Canadian Football League, cornerback Josh Johnson is back in the NFL.
His challenge now is to prolong his stay.
Johnson made Jacksonville's 53-man roster Saturday, beating out former Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall for the fifth and final cornerback spot. Johnson spent the 2013 preseason with San Diego before getting waived and landing with the BC Lions.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Ravens defensive tackle Michael Pierce was a little-known undrafted rookie out Samford when the preseason began.
He was among the stars of Baltimore's preseason finale, sacking and stripping Saints backup quarterback Luke McCown, then recovering the loose ball for a touchdown in a 23-14 Ravens win on Thursday night. That it happened in a stadium just two hours' drive from his hometown of Daphne, Alabama, made it all the better.

In the case where a client or patient reports being uncomfortable, in any way, as she rests
in bed and is practically in in the supine position, it is essential to consider repositioning them in
any other position so as they are not on their back.
Assisting a client to ideally move from the wheelchair to the bed is a serious process. At
times, the client could not be stable enough and they could start to fall. In this case, the important
equipment that ought to be in place for purposes of ensuring the safety of the patient include side
rails that are usually placed on the opposite side of the bed. The transfer belt and gait are then
utilized to secure the client from falls. The patient is positioned next to the bed in an angle of 45
or 30 degrees. They are then moved bottom to the front of the surface.
A client who is totally dependent can only be transferred through the actual use of a
mechanical lift. In getting a particular patient up to the dining room, certain specific safety
checks must be performed for purposes of ensuring that the lift is ready. In doing so, side rails
are mounted on the opposite sides of the wheelchair to ensure the patient is seated safely and in a
secure fashion. Belts are then fastened to boost their stability in the lift.
In checking the safety of the patient before they get into the lift to be taken to the upper
floor, there is urgent need to first consider checking the chains, slings, as well as straps for frayed
areas as clasps that, in majority of cases, do not close properly. The leg spreader and the
hydraulic lift must also be checked with the actual intention of ensuring that they are both
working fine. The lift must not be utilized in the event that there is oil on the floor.
In the case where a nurse is to assist a patient into the wheelchair in the scheduled
preparation for lunch and the patient has weakness on the left side, there are several important
steps that he or she ought to take in ensuring a very safe kind of transfer to the wheelchair.
Firstly, in cases where the patient is unable or finds it difficult to use both legs to move, a
wheelchair ought to be used to help ferry them to their expected destination.
There is need to ensure that any loose rugs are removed from the way in order to achieve
preventing slipping. Non-skid shoes or socks may be put on the feet of the patient if they need to
step into a slippery surface. The nurse should explain the steps to the patient then park the
wheelchair next to the bed. Brakes should be put on by the nurse before they move the footrests
out of the way. The patient should then be allowed to sit for a few minutes in case they complain
of feeling dizzy as they first sit up. Move the client to the edge of the bed then consider lowering
the bed so the feet of the client are touching the ground. The patient should help support their
weight on their good leg during the transfer. Once the legs of the patient are touching the seat of
the wheelchair, consider bending your knees to practically lower the client into the seat.

With a history dating back almost 50 years, Westfield Liverpool has long served as the regions retail hub. Since its construction in 1971, the shopping precinct has undergone a wealth of redevelopment, to the extent that it now covers over 85,000m² of space – a large footprint that looks set to rise.
At the start of February 2019, Scentre Group submitted plans for the comprehensive redevelopment of the Westfield Liverpool site. Set to be the largest reconstruction in the centre’s history, the new design will feature an eight-storey commercial tower, a new entrance, an upgraded cinema, a new dining and entertainment precinct and improved parking facilities.
The $93 million redevelopment looks to add 16,500m² of additional space – 5,500m² will be devoted to retail, while 11,000m² will be set aside for commercial interests. The proposal was submitted for public approval in February 2019 and provided it faces no major opposition, construction could start as early as this time next year.
Powered by Liverpool’s growth
The planned Westfield Liverpool redevelopment is yet another sign of the region’s upward trajectory, demonstrating a clear response to Liverpool’s recent growth and preparation for the future wave of infrastructure upgrades in the area.
Western Sydney is currently experiencing one of the strongest economic booms any area of Sydney has ever seen – between the announcements of the construction of the Liverpool Health and Academic Precinct, the nearby Western Sydney Airport and Aerotropolis, the Moorebank Intermodal freighting hub and the local council’s development of Liverpool into the city’s third CBD, including much needed improvements to local roads and rail links, Liverpool is set to explode both economically and in terms of population over the coming years.
The Westfield Liverpool redevelopment is an effort to pre-empt the needs of this future population boom, by offering a shopping destination designed to handle the soon-to-be large crowds.
Westfield Liverpool by the numbers
While the Scentre Group’s submission doesn’t go into detail about the potential economic impacts of the redevelopment, observing current numbers can suggest a positive outcome. In 2017, Scentre Group reported that the trade area population of Westfield Liverpool was 614,000, which, as per local government projections, will increase by 40% by the year 2031. Customer visits totalled 14.9 million in the same year, and annual retail sales tallied up to $515 million. These numbers too can be expected to grow at the same rate, or even outpace the growth of the local population, as a new shopping precinct with upgraded amenities proves significantly more attractive than an underdeveloped one.
With the post-redevelopment floorspace totalling more than 100,000m², Westfield Liverpool is set to be transformed from Australia’s 40th largest shopping centre to almost 25th, helping the retail hub to maintain pace with the needs, and desires, of a growing population. The development will also provide a wealth of extra service jobs, particularly as the cinema, dining, entertainment and parking elements are expanded and updated, attracting new residents to the area.
A rare property investment opportunity
The proposed Westfield Liverpool redevelopment demonstrates why, more than ever, there’s never been a better time to invest in the Liverpool area. Those that do so early can expect to enjoy high rental yields, low vacancy rates and market-leading levels of capital growth.
And all going well, they will also be enjoying a fresh and exciting shopping destination, right in the heart of Sydney’s future third CBD.
Those living and investing in Liverpool have seen this boom coming and are preparing accordingly. Local and state governments were the first to act, signing off the infrastructure projects that will fuel the boom. Private organisations like the Scentre Group have been next, laying plans that will allow their Liverpool projects to keep pace with expected growth.
However, now might be time for the more financially savvy private citizens to take full advantage of what the government is heralding an unprecedented investment in the area.
The expected growth of Liverpool will undoubtedly drive increased demand for property. And as the rules of economics dictate, low supply and high demand mean increases in price and therefore capital growth for those who bought early.

- Fans of John Krasinski have been loving his YouTube web series “Some Good News,” which was intended to spread joy during the coronavirus pandemic.
- Days after Krasinski announced he was taking a break from the show, news broke that he had sold the series to ViacomCBS for an undisclosed amount and will no longer be its host.
- While some have congratulated him on the deal, plenty of fans are unhappy, refusing to watch a more corporate-backed show without him hosting.
- Others called him a sellout for profiting off a show that was intended to be positive light during hard times.
Update May 26, 2020 – John Krasinski has since stated that reports about the show moving to CBS All Access are incorrect. He did not explicitly confirm where the show is expected to air.
What is SGN?
John Krasinki reached a deal to sell his massively successful YouTube series “Some Good News” to ViacomCBS, but fans online seem to have mixed feelings about it.
Krasinski started the short-lived YouTube show in March as a way to highlight feel-good stories and spread joy during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. It was an instant hit, with the channel earning over 2.5 million subscribers in two months and racking up over 71,000,000 total views with just 14 videos.
The actor self-financed and produced the weekly show from his own home, reaching out to his audience for stories and ideas. Eventually, corporate sponsors began to show him support that allowed him to conduct surprise giveaways. For instance, he once partnered with AT&T to provide nurses and doctors with free wireless service for three months, and also provided a group of Boston healthcare workers with Red Sox tickets for life,
Krasinski even made headlines for using the show to host reunions for The Office and Hamilton casts, as well as host a virtual high school prom and graduation that featured big names like the Jonas Brothers, Billie Eilish, Steven Speilberg, and Oprah.
After eight episodes, Krasinski announced Monday that he would be taking a break from the show. In the post, he shared a link to Sunday’s show, which many understood to be his final episode.
By Thursday, The Hollywood Reporter broke the news of his deal with ViacomCBS.
Details of the Sale
The deal reportedly came after a massive bidding war over the series, with the winning amount left undisclosed.
Now the Hollywood Reporter says ViacomCBS plans to broadcast the show across its soon-to-be rebranded streaming platform, CBA All Access, before moving it over to a wider audience through some of the company’s other brands. As far as production, the series will be produced via Comedy Central Productions.
Unfortunately for many fans, Krasinski will no longer be a host of the show. Instead, he will carry on as an executive producer and is expected to have some sort of on-air presence. A new host will be announced at a later date.
“Could not be more excited and proud to be partnering with CBS/Viacom to be able to bring Some Good News to so many more people!” Krasinski said in a statement Thursday.
“From the first episode, our goal was to create a news show dedicated entirely to good news. Never did I expect to be joining the ranks of such a historic news organization as CBS.”
He followed up with a tweet Friday morning expressing excitement about the show living on.
The Hollywood Reporter noted that Krasinski initially resisted the urge to sell the series, despite a ton of interest from broadcast networks and streaming services after the first episode alone.
However, Krasinski already has a relationship with ViacomCBS since it owns Paramount Television, which produces his Amazon show “Jack Ryan.” Krasinski also wrote, directed, and starred in the film “A Quiet Place” for Paramount Pictures, and “A Quiet Place Part II” is scheduled to be released in September.
Responses to the news have been varied. Many viewers have expressed support for the move and thanked Krasinski for the joy his show brought them.
Congratulations on this opportunity to continue sharing @somegoodnews with the world to create positivity on days where people feel hopeless! These videos always gave me something to smile about and am glad to see there’ll be more coming! #SomeGoodNews #SGN— HollyBear (@Rocky1916) May 22, 2020
Still, there are plenty of fans who are disappointed and frustrated by the move. Some went so far as to accuse him of being a sellout and trying to profit off something that was marketing as a sincere attempt to bring light during dark times. Others were sad to see the show become more corporate and refused to watch without him as the host.
We liked that it was not part of the system. It’s own underground low budget thing. Made it honest. Now…… not a good look that you cashed it in. Still got love tho.— joshcanady (@joshcanady) May 22, 2020
this makes me feel like you’re a sellout. was this a money move? i really don’t understand. your show could have just inspired them to share good news, not take what you started. it was easier to access SGN, not this network.— Kelsey Ray (@kelssray) May 22, 2020
If it’s not hosted by John I send it back— Luke (@painted_pup) May 22, 2020
Others expressed concern about the show potentially being less accessible since it was previously free to watch on YouTube.
This is actually really frustrating to see an uplifting show like this go behind a paywall so millionaires and billionaires can make even more money— Joe Traupman (@TraupmanJ) May 22, 2020
It appears that SGN has caught wind of those concerns because it has been responding to fans on Twitter promising to make the show as accessible as possible.
There have been a handful of fans defending Krasinski, understanding the deal as a good business decision, but others wonder if this will leave a bad taste in some people’s mouths or cause some to question his intentions behind the series.
For now it will be interesting to see how the move actually impacts the SGN and if the series will still be valuable without Krasinski as a host.

Jodie Sweetin Releases Statement After Getting Pushed By Officers at Pro-Choice Protest: “This Will Not Deter Us”
“Love everyone out there in the streets fighting for what’s right,” she wrote on Instagram.
Actress Pushed at Protest
After viral footage showed Jodie Sweetin getting pushed to the ground by officers with the Los Angeles Police Department while attending a pro-choice protest, the “Full House” actress said demonstraters “will continue fighting” for their rights.
Sweetin was attending a protest off the 101 freeway on Saturday following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Photojournalist Mike Ade, who captured the video, said the actress was “trying to lead a group of peaceful protestors away from the freeway” when officers pushed her. Sweetin was standing on a curb when she was pushed and fell down on the cement road. Ade wrote that she was “fortunately…okay.”
Ade shared a handful of other videos depicting officers using similar tactics on other protesters. As these videos started circulating online, many became outraged by the LAPD’s response to the protests.
Sweetin Addresses Incident
Following the incident, Sweetin released a statement where she said the fight against the court’s decision is not over.
“I’m extremely proud of the hundreds of people who showed up yesterday to exercise their First Amendment rights and take immediate action to peacefully protest the giant injustices that have been delivered from our Supreme Court,” Sweetin said. “Our activism will continue until our voices are heard and action is taken. This will not deter us, we will continue fighting for our rights. We are not free until ALL of us are free.”
Sweetin also shared footage of the incident and other clips of officers clashing with protesters on her Instagram story. She cheered protesters in a comment on a video of the push shared by a social justice group called The Progressivists.
“Love everyone out there in the streets fighting for what’s right,” she wrote.
According to a statement obtained by Deadline, the LAPD is looking into the matter.
“The LAPD is aware of a video clip of a woman being pushed to the ground by officers not allowing the group to enter on foot and overtake the 101 freeway,” the statement said. “The force used will be evaluated against the LAPD’s policy and procedure.”

Dave Chappelle Decides Against Having Former High School’s Theater Named After Him
“The idea that my name will be turned into an instrument of someone else’s perceived oppression is untenable to me,” the comedian reportedly said.
Theater Named Announced
Comedian Dave Chappelle opted on Monday to not have the theater at his alma mater high school named after him, according to a report from The Washington Post.
The Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington D.C. previously planned to name its theater in honor of Chappelle, as he is a distinct alum and donor. While Chappelle formerly said such a gesture would be “the most significant honor of [his] life,” he announced during Monday’s naming ceremony that it would bear a different title.
The school’s theater will instead be called the Theater for Artistic Freedom and Expression.
A naming ceremony was initially set to take place in November, but was postponed after the comedian began facing backlash for transphobic jokes in his Netflix special “The Closer.”
Among other things, he said he was “Team TERF,” which stands for trans-exclusionary radical feminist. He also made a joke about Caitlyn Jenner and remarks comparing the genitalia of transgender women to Beyond and Impossible meat.
The jokes embroiled Chappelle in controversy, and reports claimed that some students at Duke Ellington took issue with the comments. When Chappelle ended up visiting the school amid the scandal, Politico reported that one student told the comedian, “I’m 16 and I think you’re childish, you handled it like a child.”
Chappelle Defends Controversial Special
According to The Post, Chappelle said the criticism against him “sincerely” hurt, but added that “the Ellington Family is my family.” He claimed he did not want the theater being named after him to distract students.
“The idea that my name will be turned into an instrument of someone else’s perceived oppression is untenable to me,” he said according to Josh Rogin, a columnist for the outlet.
Rogin also tweeted that Chappelle took time out of the ceremony to slam the criticisms levied against him, accusing upset students of promoting someone else’s agenda.
“These kids didn’t understand that they were instruments of oppression,” he reportedly said.
“You cannot report on an artist’s work and remove artistic nuance,” Chappelle continued while denouncing the press coverage of his Netflix special.
According to David Frum, a staff writer for The Atlantic who attended the ceremony, Chappelle suggested he was open to potentially adding his name to the theater at a later date when the community is ready.

Chris Evans Says People Upset With Same-Gender “Lightyear” Kiss Are “Idiots”
The kiss was previously removed from the film until a surge of backlash from Pixar employees prompted Disney to reinstate it.
Chris Evans Supports “Lightyear” Scene
“Lightyear” star Chris Evans is standing against people who have criticized the same-gender kiss scene in the upcoming Pixar film.
“The real truth is those people are idiots,” the actor told Reuters this week when discussing negative reactions to the scene’s inclusion.
“The American story, the human story is one of constant social awakening and growth and that’s what makes us good,” he continued.
Countries like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, and more have banned the release of “Lightyear” over the kiss, which is between two women. Right-wing pundits in the U.S. have also slammed it, and user reviews for the picture on websites like IMDB have claimed that movie-going has “become an avenue for political propaganda.”
Evans argued those opinions are outdated.
“There’s always going to be people who are afraid and unaware and trying to hold on to what was before. But those people die off like dinosaurs,” he said. “I think the goal is to pay them no mind, march forward and embrace the growth that makes us human.”
“Lightyear” hits theaters on Friday starring Evans as the titular Buzz Lightyear. Evans, however, is not playing the action figure made famous in the “Toy Story” movies and is instead playing an animated human astronaut who inspired the toy.
Kiss Scene Almost Never Made it to Big Screen
According to outlets that have reviewed the film, the same-gender kiss is between Alisha Hawthorne, a character voiced by Uzo Aduba, and her wife.
Multiple reports have stated that Disney was always supportive of depicting a gay couple in the picture, but was more hesitant about showing an on-screen kiss between the two. The studio previously had the scene removed from the film until a swell of backlash prompted it to reinstate the kiss.
The decision came in March amid criticisms over Disney’s slow response to Florida’s controversial “Don’t Say Gay” bill. At the time, a group of Pixar employees wrote an open letter claiming that they have pushed for more inclusion in their films, but “nearly every moment of overtly gay affection is cut at Disney’s behest.”
Now that the scene made the final cut of “Lightyear,” it has been a large topic of conversation leading up to the film’s release. On Monday, Evans told Variety that the inclusion of the scene makes him “happy,” but he hopes one day, scenes like this will be considered standard.
“It’s tough to not be a little frustrated that it even has to be a topic of discussion,” he said. “That it is this kind of ‘news.’ The goal is that we can get to a point where it is the norm, and that this doesn’t have to be some uncharted waters, that eventually this is just the way it is.”

In recent weeks, India has seen the murder of an anti-superstition campaigner, followed by the arrest of a "god-man" on sexual assault charges.
Dr Narendra Dabholkar, 67, who used scientific experiments and reasoning to disprove claims of miracles and superstitious beliefs, was shot dead by two men in broad daylight in the western city of Pune on Aug 20.
He had dedicated his life to travelling extensively to expose god-men and astrologers, aside from fighting animal sacrifice and India's caste system. He had received hate mail from Hindu extremist groups and his killers have not been caught.
On Sept 1, Asaram Bapu, 72, a spiritual guru who runs 425 ashrams, peddles miracle cures and claims god-like qualities, was arrested for sexually assaulting a follower's underage daughter. The self-styled god-man is a controversial yet influential figure with millions of followers, who have been protesting against his arrest.
The god-man, who was born into a poor family and worked his way up from low-paying jobs, now owns properties estimated to be worth millions of rupees, and lives at his ashram in Ahmedabad. He is said to have high political connections. Even as India builds intercontinental rockets and its own nuclear submarines, age-old superstitions hold sway among large swathes of the population, providing a livelihood for thousands of holy men, soothsayers and astrologers.
The murder of Dr Dabholkar and the arrest of Asaram Bapu, although unrelated episodes, have exposed India's spiritual underbelly. "In the name of religion, a lot of these god-men are exploiting people and they have different modus operandi," said Mr Avinash Patil, a member of the Maharashtra Committee for Eradication of Blind Faith, founded by Dr Dabholkar.
"One god-man, for instance, claimed he could perform surgery with his hands and nothing else; another went around with a magic sheet he said could cure any disease. We filed cases against them. They just dupe people."
While some god-men and soothsayers travel through villages and towns, making money by selling talismans and stones said to provide protection from evil spirits or to cure disease, others run large-scale enterprises and attract hordes of followers, including members of the middle class.
"In the neo-liberal society we are living in, we have created a lot of uncertainty. When there is too much to bear, some people facing uncertainty look for solace," said Dr T.V. Venkateswaran, a scientist with Vigyan Prasar, an autonomous organisation under the federal government that promotes scientific and rational outlook.

Diabetes is a serious complex condition that can significantly impact your quality of life, and can even reduce your life expectancy.
Early detection and treatment is crucial. Delays in diagnosing diabetes can put you at risk of major health problems – some of them life threatening.
Perhaps you have diabetes or you’re concerned you, or someone you care for, could be at risk.
The first step to managing diabetes is to understand diabetes. However, diabetes has attracted a few ‘myths’, so we asked Connect Health & Community diabetes educator Mary to separate fact from fiction.
Myth 1: All type of diabetes are the same.
Fact 1: There are a number of types of diabetes. The most common are type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes. Each type has different causes and may be managed in different ways, but type 1 and type 2 diabetes need to be managed every day (unlike gestational diabetes). Although gestational diabetes goes away after pregnancy, it does significantly increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.
Myth 2: Only young people get type 1 diabetes.
Fact 2: The onset of type 1 diabetes does occur most frequently in those under the age of 30. However, new research suggests that almost half of all people who develop the condition are diagnosed when over the age of 30.
Myth 3: People with diabetes can’t eat dessert.
Fact 3: Diabetes affects blood glucose levels so it’s commonly thought that people with diabetes need to avoid sugars and foods containing sugar. However, if eaten in moderation as part of a healthy eating plan and/or combined with exercise, people with diabetes can have their cake, and eat it too. A qualified dietician or nutritionist can tailor a program that helps you eat and live well with your diabetes.
Myth 4: No-one in my family has diabetes, so I don’t need to worry.
Fact 4: Family history is only one of the risk factors for type 2 diabetes. Other risk factors include smoking, diet and an inactive lifestyle. Use the Diabetes Australia Risk Calculator to learn more about type 2 risk.
Myth 5: Diabetes can be prevented
Fact 5: Not all types of diabetes can be prevented. Type 1 is an autoimmune condition; it can’t be prevented and there is no cure. However, there is strong evidence that diabetes prevention programs can help prevent type 2 diabetes in up to 58% of cases.

The Jacksonville Armada FC will return to its home venue of Hodges Stadium for a preseason match with the University of North Florida’s men’s soccer team on Wednesday, March 14.
“We are looking forward to playing at Hodges Stadium and always enjoy our preseason matchup against UNF. They always provide a good test for us,” said head coach Mark Lowry.
The match will be the fourth preseason exhibition of 2018 and is critical as the team continues to adjust with many offseason roster changes. The team is coming off a 2-0 win against Flagler College on Feb. 26. A goal each by newcomer Conor Doyle and returning forward Ciarán Kilduff propelled the Armada FC to the victory.
“Our body of work over the past month has been fantastic,” said Lowry. “We are now in the process of adding the final details at either end of the field and this game offers us a chance to improve on that.”
This will be the third time the Armada FC has met the UNF Ospreys. Jacksonville played to a 0-0 draw with UNF in the 2016 and 2017 preseason at Hodges Stadium.
Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. and the scrimmage will be free and open to the public, but a parking fee of $2 is required in Lot 18 next to Hodges Stadium. More information about parking on the UNF campus can be found HERE.

Have Khloe Kardashian and James Harden split after months of struggles amid Lamar Odom’s health crisis? According to a January 24 report by Radar Online, Khloe Kardashian recently shared a couple of “sad, cryptic messages” on Instagram, hinting at a possible breakup from the Houston Rockets player.
Khloé Kardashian Places ‘All’ Her Faith In God After James Harden’s Party At A Strip Club https://t.co/GZ7m7exzkX
— James Harden Hub (@JamesHardenHub) January 25, 2016
In Khloe Kardashian’s most recent post, the longtime reality star and author captioned a meme with the message, “When you’ve experienced love at its purest, it’s hard to settle for less.”
In the meme, a message read, “I will leave such an imprint on your heart that anyone you entertain after me will have to know me in order to understand you.”
Khloe Kardashian then shared a second meme, which included the following comment.
“Be thankful for closed doors, detours & roadblocks. They protect you from paths & places not meant for you.”
In the caption of the second post, Khloe Kardashian told fans, “Thank you Lord for all of the obstacles you put into my life. I put ALL my faith in You!! I have complete trust in knowing that every obstacle you have placed was done in order to protect me on my journey. My greatest lessons are learned from my losses. Which in turn become my greatest gains.”
Khloe Kardashian, James Harden Breakup Rumors: Rocket Star’s Potential New Side Piece Could Be Lamar Odom’s Way… https://t.co/4meaSElq3i
— Sports World News (@SportsWN) January 22, 2016
Khloe Kardashian began dating Harden in early summer 2015 following a split from French Montana earlier in the year. However, while many of Khloe Kardashian’s relationships have been extremely public, she has kept things with Harden on the down-low, and the two have only been spotted together a few times in Los Angeles, and on occasion in Houston, where Khloe Kardashian has attended some of Harden’s NBA games.
Although it is hard to say what’s really going on with Khloe Kardashian and Harden, reports have understandably claimed the pro athlete may be getting frustrated by Khloe Kardashian’s failure to divorce Lamar Odom — nearly three years after the former couple initially parted ways.
“James has been pressuring [Khloe Kardahian] to put the divorce back in motion,” a source told Life & Style magazine on January 22. “He doesn’t like that [Khloe Kardashian] is still married to Lamar. It’s awkward for him.”
Khloe Kardashian filed for divorce from Odom in December 2013, but due to the couple dragging their feet with the paperwork, they were still married when Odom suffered a drug overdose months ago. And because of that, Khloe Kardashian was left in charge of Odom’s medical care and filed documents to have their divorce petition thrown out in an effort to remain in charge. However, even now that Odom has left the hospital, no new documents have been filed, which has reportedly led to mounting tensions between Khloe Kardashian and Harden.
“James recently stayed at [Khloe Kardashian] when his team [the Houston Rockets] was in LA to play the LA Clippers and the Lakers. It was supposed to be a very happy time, but instead, he spent it complaining to [Khloe Kardashian] about Lamar,” the source explained.
In addition, as Khloe Kardashian traveled to promote her recently premiered talk show on FYI, Kocktails with Khloe, Harden was spotted out at a Los Angeles strip club with Khloe Kardashian’s youngest sister’s boyfriend, Tyga.
For more Khloe Kardashian, tune into Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 11, airing on Sunday nights at 9 p.m. on the E! Network, and don’t miss Kocktails with Khloe on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on FYI.

It’s a race!
In the blink of an eye, Rep. Rick Lazio has zoomed to within two points of Hillary Clinton in New York’s Senate race – nearly wiping out a 14-point deficit since Sunday, a new poll by Zogby International showed yesterday.
Yesterday’s survey found 46 percent backing Clinton and 44 percent supporting Lazio – who became the Republican Senate candidate less than a week ago, when Mayor Giuliani dropped out. Ten percent were undecided.
Clinton’s edge is within the poll’s 3.8-point margin of error, making the contest a statistical dead heat.
“Lazio had the kind of opening week that new candidates only dream about,” said pollster John Zogby.
The speed of Lazio’s 12-point leap is breathtaking, and he has gained in every area of the state – upstate, the suburbs and New York City – while Clinton has been standing still or backsliding.
He’s also winning favor among independents and it appears that many of last week’s undecided voters have shifted into Lazio’s corner.
A Post Poll on Sunday had Clinton leading 46 percent to 32, with 17 percent undecided.
Since Giuliani dropped out, Lazio has benefited from an enormous amount of publicity, as he has campaigned aggressively around the state.
Even Clinton’s supporters admit Lazio’s off to a good start and the first lady has retooled her message to brand the newcomer a right-winger in a bid to slow his march.
Most shocking is a 25-point turnaround in the suburbs, putting him ahead of the first lady.
Lazio now leads 54 percent to 36 in the crucial battleground, after being down to Clinton last Sunday by 43 percent to 36. He also holds a 46-41 lead upstate and has trimmed his deficit in the city.
Part of Lazio’s sudden rise can be attributed to the fact that only 11 percent of voters have an unfavorable view of him, while 38 percent have a negative opinion of Clinton.
The survey of 713 likely voters was conducted Tuesday through yesterday.
“Hillary is going to keep working hard to earn the trust and support of New Yorkers,” Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson said in a statement.
The Lazio campaign didn’t return a call for comment.
Meanwhile, a Republican at a town-hall meeting in Rochester surprised Clinton by asking: Does she think she will spend eternity in heaven or hell?
“I cannot tell you where I will be,” Clinton responded.
“I can only hope and pray that I will find favor in God’s eyes.”

Chief Si’ahl Signs Treaty of Point Elliott
On January 22, 1855, Chief Si’ahl of the Duwamish, along with other chiefs and delegates of tribes, bands, and villages in the Puget Sound region, and Isaac Stevens (1818-1862), Governor of Washington Territory, signed the Point Elliott Treaty. Through the Point Elliott Treaty, the region’s Native peoples ceded lands they had lived on for thousands of years. The United States Senate ratified the Treaty in 1859. Both the 1861 and the present campus were built on these lands. Today the UW is honoring the original Native occupants of these lands with the construction of an Intellectual House, a longhouse-style facility.

Just hours after signing an executive order that mandates the use of masks on federal property, newly inaugurated President Joe Biden chose to make a statement by doing just the opposite.
Biden was sworn in as the 46th president of the United States just before noon on Jan. 20 and has taken the helm of a troubled and deeply divided nation.
During his inaugural address, Biden warned that America’s “darkest and most deadly” CCP Virus pandemic days are in front of the nation. Biden spoke about the spread of the CCP Virus and how it has increased. He called for a moment of silence in remembrance of the more than 400,000 Americans who have died from the virus. He made no mention of the mandatory mask order he had recently put in place.
He moved quickly to dismantle former President Trump’s legacy not long after he was sworn in.
He signed 15 executive orders, one being a mandate to wear masks on all federal property and in buildings.
One of his priorities is an executive order to the “100-day masking challenge,’” requiring Americans to wear a mask and social distance in all federal buildings, on federal land, and by federal employees and contractors, and on aircraft, trains, and transit systems traveling between states.
The mask order, Biden said in the Oval Office, is “requiring, as I said all along, where I have authority, mandating masks indoors and social distancing be kept on federal property and interstate commerce, etcetera.”
He said, “Some of the executive actions I’m going to be signing today are going to help change the course of the COVID [CCP Virus] crisis.”
“Wearing masks isn’t a partisan issue—it’s a patriotic act that can save countless lives,” Biden tweeted on Wednesday evening. “That’s why I signed an executive order today issuing a mask mandate on federal property. It’s time to mask up, America.”
However, Biden did just the opposite of his mask mandate, when he visited the Lincoln Memorial hours later, as a C-SPAN video clip shows, reported the New York Post.

Standing near the nation’s 16th president’s huge statue, Biden can be seen without a mask, despite making masks mandatory on federal property. Biden’s family members were also there without masks.

Fox News’s Peter Doocy questioned White House press secretary Jennifer Psaki about the Biden family’s decision to go without masks during a Thursday briefing.
“We take a number of Covid precautions here, as you know,” Psaki said. “I don’t know that I have more for you on it than that.”
“Was that a good example for people watching?” Doocy asked.
“I think we have bigger issues to worry about at this moment in time,” Psaki said.

GAZIANTEP, Turkey — Abu Kamal stood behind the counter of his brightly lit shawarma shop, Awafis, along the city’s University Boulevard. With specks of gray poking through his short-cropped beard, he weaved among his staff with ease to meet the evening rush.
Although the shop was crowded, business was down when I visited in May. The predominantly Syrian clientele had less appetite than usual, angsty over the Turkish election that had precipitated a nativist backlash.
Abu Kamal was not particularly concerned, still thankful he had been able to relocate his restaurant after being displaced from his native Douma, in suburban Damascus. The area had been a major flashpoint between demonstrators, and later armed rebels, against the Syrian army in the early days of his country’s uprising.
The success of Awafis was due to Abu Kamal’s signature Damascene style for preparing all things poultry. It is a welcome departure in a culinary scene otherwise dominated by the meat-heavy titans of Gaziantep and Aleppo, from where most of the Syrians living here come. Even Turks frequent the restaurant, comprising a quarter of the customers, he told me, chest puffed out. Turks and Syrians alike swoon over his crème toum, the very unsubtle, but delicious, garlic sauce at the heart of his sandwich.
“I don’t face any racism here,” Abu Kamal said, despite campaign posters telling Syrians to go home.
“Because of the crème toum,” a customer butted in. “It’s too tasty to get mad.”
Already after the first round of the highly contested election, it was clear that refugees would be the ultimate losers, as Turkish ultra-nationalists brought jingoist rhetoric from the fringes to the center. A key takeaway from the election was that refugees are no longer wanted, even with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s eventual victory in the second round. During the campaign, Erdogan appropriated some of the opposition’s discourse and moved away from his earlier, hospitable policies. The country’s migrant communities, with the Syrian diaspora at the center, now wait anxiously for the government to set its new course.
In Gaziantep, the looming restrictions on immigration could further restrict any benefits migration might bring to the city. Gaziantep had long been the darling of the United Nations, NGOs and journalists for its efforts to welcome in Syrians. The city’s mayor was a nominee for the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize for her role ameliorating the refugee crisis.
The industrial city of some two million near the border with Syria was one of the Turkish cities where the mass influx of Syrians had been felt most. But it remains unclear the extent to which the city over the past decade has become a melting pot, a mosaic, a mixing bowl or something entirely different.
* * *
Turkey today hosts more refugees than any country in the world. There are 3.6 million registered Syrians under “temporary protection,” as well as 320,000 “persons of concern” from other countries.
Erdogan opened the borders at the start of the Syrian war and in 2016 signed a deal with the European Union to prevent refugees from traveling to Europe in exchange for billions of dollars, visa-free access for Turkish citizens and the bloc’s promise to help resettle the refugees.
Gaziantep is closer to Aleppo—just 80 miles away in Syria—than to any major Turkish city. The two cities share kinship and longstanding ties, according to Ercan Kilic from the Sahinbey municipality in central Gaziantep Province, who works on migration issues.
“Our cultures are not different, living in the border area,” he said.
The city hosts more than half a million Syrian refugees, second in Turkey only to the slightly larger group in Istanbul. But while Istanbul absorbed the Syrians, constituting less than 4 percent of the megalopolis’s population, Gaziantep has struggled and today, more than one-fifth of its population now is Syrian.
Arabic can be heard in nearly every shop of the Irani bazar, which is the heart of the city’s Syrian community. Nadya, a sassy woman with spiky blonde hair, typically works as a translator for medical patients, as she speaks Arabic, Kurdish and Turkish—the three primary languages present in Gaziantep. Her work is drying up, she told me as we drank Nescafe on the street.
“The Iraqis went to Istanbul,” she said, referring to the earlier wave of displaced Iraqis, “and the Syrians learned Turkish.”
“Syrians created huge economic profits,” Mehmet Nuri Gultekin, a sociologist at Gaziantep University said. As an industrial city, Gaziantep initially thrived with the arrival of cheap labor.
Across the world, economists largely agree that immigration is beneficial to migrants and their hosts alike over the long term. But in Gaziantep, the idea that employment acts as a powerful driver for integration and social cohesion has been less apparent.
“Sure, there are some well-educated, middle-class business types who interact with Turks,” Gultekin told me in his office overlooking the sprawling campus. But he honed in on the “residue”—poor Syrian laborers doing the heavy lifting to boost the local economy while living in their own parallel society.
In theory, daily interactions should offer opportunities for integration. But this has not been the case here, he explained. Although these poor Syrians live in close proximity to the Turkish community, the social barriers separating them could hardly be more pronounced, he argued.
Migration barriers are proving self-defeating. Heavy restrictions remain for Syrian refugees regarding employment and movement, and they act as a drag on the overall boost migration typically brings, Gultekin argued.
Despite the uncertainty, Gultekin was sure of one thing: Most Syrians will remain.
“You can’t reverse social movements,” he said with conviction.
Although he was sure they would stay, he was skeptical about their prospects for integration.
* * *
I rode out of the city with a Syrian driver toward one of the city’s zoned industrial centers as he pointed out some of the changes brought on by the diaspora.
“All these are new buildings by Syrian money,” he said, speaking of the apartment blocks that fanned out along the highway.
For sure, such transformations were already in motion by the time the Syrians arrived en masse. Gaziantep’s development had been promoted since the mid-1980s and grew further with the influx of investment into the conservative city after Erdogan and his infrastructure-minded Justice and Development Party came to power.
But Syrian migration, and the international humanitarian aid that followed, made the city the epicenter for the new Syrian diaspora in Turkey and tugged the country’s export-oriented economy further southeast.
The economic contribution of Syrians could be seen by the businesses moving across the border in addition to the influx of Syrian labor. Ali Kaplan, a Gaziantep native who manages Erkaplan Carpets, recognized that fact.
“It’s easier to find workers now. Syrians brought benefits, and they brought money into Antep,” he explained, using the local nickname for Gaziantep, in his dazzlingly bright showroom, with mirrors on the ceiling to display the carpets from all angles. But he also saw how Syrians opened their own businesses and created competition, pulling away foreign customers–particularly Arabic-speakers–from his company.
While some just compete with Turks, others employ them as well. Mohammad, who asked that only his first name be used because of caution for his businesses, sat across from the large wooden desk in his office in the industrial park. With tiny tufts of gray hair on his head and upper lip, he recounted relocating in the early days of the Syrian uprising. He initially started a series of small bakeries making traditional round bread, but then shifted to producing bread bags and eventually all types of plastic products. Today, he has more than 100 workers, both Turks and Syrians.
“Turks are very industrious. The changes here are not just due to us,” Mohammad said.
But he credited Syrians with injecting additional capital into the city, as well as creating a livelier atmosphere. He recalled how when he first arrived, he had brought a portable DVD player to watch movies because everything shut down early. But now the streets are busier, even resembling Istanbul, he said, not completely exaggerating.
Still, the political fallout from the election left him unsettled.
“I have Turkish citizenship, a nice home and a business,” he continued. “But my kid is asked by his classmates if we had a bathroom back in Syria.”
He referenced a Syrian caught in the February 6 earthquake rubble refusing to speak because he feared that if rescuers knew he was Syrian, they might stop their efforts.
“All I hear about is sending Syrians back. How could you feel secure?” Mohammad concluded.
One of the largest spaces in the business park is run by Besler Group, owner of the main flour mill in Turkey.
Veysel Sezgin, who works in sales, was torn about the Syrians. As an employer, he had benefited from the economic growth. But as a citizen, he felt his hometown had been unable to keep pace with the population bulge.
“Now if there are three people in the hospital, two of them are Syrian,” he said.
* * *
Back in the city center, I visited the office of a Syrian beverage baron named Ahmed Jabar. He offered me an energy drink, one of many his family produces. With a big smile and red power tie, he clapped his hands loudly after I noted how Bison energy drink was the best I could recall having (Disclaimer: I can’t remember the last time I had one.)
Jabar went on to tell me how Turkish society should be more appreciative of the contributions from Syrians.
“We work 27 hours a day, and then we spend that money,” he guffawed, clapping his hands together again. “We Syrians don’t save.”
There is a perception among Gaziantep locals that Syrians operate in a closed economy, meaning that their spending remains mostly within the Syrian community. But few stop to think about what is driving this habit.
I saw this in action up close later that evening over meze and grilled meats with Anas Abdulwali, a 31-year-old Syrian professional who wanted out of Turkey.
During our conversation, the reality for Syrians in Gaziantep—one in which fear drives them to minimize interactions with Turks—emerged clearly. Abdulwali feared he could be deported at any time, and was reminded of that constantly—for example, a Turkish driver once alluded to it after he was the one at fault in a minor traffic accident.
“We aren’t seen as humans here. We are seen only as Sureyli,” the Turkish word for Syrians that was often evoked as a boogeyman by all sides during the heated election campaigns.
Turkish politics have pushed Syrians to become even more insular. To avoid problems, Abdulwali divided his time between working at a Syrian-owned firm and spending time with his Syrian friends at cafes and restaurants run by his exiled compatriots. He was preparing to leave Turkey the following month for good.
Social tensions were pushing some of the best and brightest to find ways to leave.
“Everyone wants to go except those who do not have the luxury to leave,” Duaa, another Syrian I met, who also asked only her first name be used due to the fraught political climate, told me at a Syrian-owned café. She hoped to hear back any day about her application for a master’s degree program in the United Kingdom.
* * *
In the immigration canon, no experience is more sacrosanct than the pattern that the children of poor migrants typically pay back their parents’ debt to society. A 2017 report found that second-generation immigrants worldwide were upwardly mobile and strong contributors to their economies.
This phenomenon could be particularly important for Turkey, a country with an aging labor force that faces an uncertain economic future. In Gaziantep, half of the Syrian community is under 18, a great opportunity to meet the city’s growing economic needs. For most of these youths, Syria is more a narrative than a lived experience.
As the dinner rush at Awafis began to ebb, Abu Kamal joined me across the street for a coffee. He excitedly told me how the first of his three sons would be going to a Turkish university in the fall.
“I want three doctors,” he replied when I asked which one would take over his restaurant.
The migratory experience of Abu Kamal and his family is far from unique. Globally, the children of immigrants are less likely than their parents to own their own businesses, and his sons will be better placed to pursue careers less grueling than food service. Raised and educated in Turkey, his children can expect greater social mobility and greater inclusion in the mainstream economy.
If such mobility and inclusion are cultivated rather than restricted by nativist politics, the social and economic promise of Abu Kamal’s sons and all the others like them can be borne out for the greater good. But if the atmosphere that predominated during the recent election continues, Turkey could remain focused on the short-term burdens of migration instead of building toward its future blessings.
