Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson was benched by coach Brian Kelly in the second quarter of Saturday's game after throwing his second interception, and backup Tommy Rees led the Irish to the game's only touchdown, as Notre Dame leads Michigan 10-0 at halftime.
Rees completed 3-for-4 passes for 45 yards and, after a Denard Robinson interception, scored on a 2-yard touchdown run with just 1:27 remaining in the half.
Robinson has thrown four interceptions for Michigan and the Wolverines have five picks overall as running back Vincent Smith was also intercepted. Robinson has passed for 59 yards and run for 55, but two of his turnovers have led directly to Notre Dame scores.
Kyle Brindza kicked a 33-yard field goal early in the second quarter to get the Irish on the board.

Lineker and Co join forces with Gary Barlow, Pixie Lott and Girls Aloud's Kimberley for England World Cup song... while Becks takes a Del Boy fall!
This could be the soundtrack to your summer. Gary Lineker, Michael Owen and Geoff Hurst have joined up with Take That star Gary Barlow for England's World Cup song.
A cover of Take That classic 'Greatest Day', the song features former England stars like Martin Keown, Glenn Hoddle and David Seaman.
A host of pop stars like Girls Aloud's Kimberley Walsh, Pixie Lott and Spice Girl Emma Bunton were also on hand to take over singing duties from the likes of Gary Mabbutt, Carlton Palmer and Gary Pallister - who proved a dab hand on guitar.
Two Garys for the price of one: Lineker and Barlow team up for the 'Greatest Day' song
A pineapple? Geoff Hurst larks about with Kimberley Walsh (right), Emma Bunton and Mel C
Blonde bombshell: Pixie Lott was also on hand to help out with the singing
Sing when you're winning: Gary Pallister, Martin Keown, Carlton Palmer, Kenny Sansom and Gary Mabbutt (left-right) all swapped boots for instruments to pitch in with England's World Cup song
All profits raised from the song go towards Sport Relief. It follows in the footsteps of classic England songs like 1970's Back Home, 1990's World in Motion and 1996's Three Lions.
Elsewhere in Friday's Sport Relief extravaganza, British TV institution Only Fools and Horses returned, with special guest David Beckham.
Legendary duo Del Boy and Rodney Trotter tried to sell branded 'Golden Balls' pants, before England legend Beckham talked to the brothers in a cafe.
Back at the market, Beckham signed an autograph before falling over, echoing the iconic scene of Del Boy falling through the bar in classic 1989 episode Yuppie Love.

Welcome to Ghost Hunting and Haunted Places. I’m Fiona Broome and – since 1999 – I’ve posted hundreds of articles at this ghost hunting website.
If you’re afraid that your home is haunted, please read my book, “Is Your House Haunted?” It explains why about 80% of the sites I visit aren’t actually haunted. (And no, it’s not “all in your head.” There are real, physical explanations for everything from illness to apparitions to “a creepy feeling.”)
… Can’t afford the 99-cent price? That book is free to read in Kindle Unlimited, and you may be able to borrow a digital copy through your public library.
(Also, I’m working on a second book, with additional information for those with more serious ghost problems.)

2ND SINGAPORE SYMPOSIUM ON CASINO REGULATION AND CRIME
16 Nov 2011
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and the Casino Regulatory Authority (CRA) are jointly organising the 2nd Singapore Symposium on Casino Regulation & Crime from 16 – 17 November 2011 at the Police Cantonment Complex.
2. This year’s theme “Anticipating Trends, Confronting Threats” for this biennial joint symposium, underscores the need for both agencies to work closely with each other and their key strategic partners in order to anticipate and tackle the threats and challenges posed in the casino industry so as to ensure effective regulation and enforcement.
3. Speakers from well-known law enforcement agencies in foreign jurisdictions such as the United States, France, Australia and Macao SAR – People’s Republic of China would be sharing their knowledge and experience as well as conducting various workshops for the symposium participants.
4. Apart from the objective of providing a training platform for both foreign and local officers from the casino regulatory and enforcement agencies, the symposium also offers SPF and CRA an avenue to further enhance their working relationship with both local and foreign counterparts while they trade experiences and learn from one another.
5. The SPF and CRA treasure the close partnerships, as well as the strong ties formed with their foreign counterparts. Such ties developed over the years, are key in helping SPF and CRA to deter syndicated crime from taking roots in the casinos.
6. The Guest-of-Honour for the opening ceremony is Mr. Khoo Boon Hui, Senior Deputy Secretary from the Ministry of Home Affairs. Approximately 200 officers from the SPF, CRA and other foreign as well as local government agencies are attending the symposium. A copy of the opening address by Mr. Khoo is attached.

TWO juveniles were arrested yesterday afternoon after police spotted them having fun on a stolen motorbike.
About 2.20pm on Thursday the pair was spotted illegally cruising on Crystal Waters Dr, Tweed Heads.
Tweed Police Inspector Gary Cowan said officers followed the thieves and were in pursuit for 2km until they stopped on Limosa Rd where they were arrested and taken into custody.
The 15-year-old driver was charged with stealing a motor vehicle, break enter and steal and driving a motor dangerously.
"The rider will appear before the courts today," Mr Cowan said.
"This is a concern of police that children of such a young age would be involved in such a serious offence."
Mr Cowan said the offenders were putting not only police and the community at risk but also themselves.

A thing I didn’t know until I started doing more and more research about silk: butterfly caterpillars make silk too.
Many of them don’t make much silk – it’s often just a little tuft, a few yards total – but it’s critically important to their life cycle. Most of the time, silk is used to make a small pad which attaches to a surface – anything from a twig to a leaf to a patio chair – where the caterpillar is going to pupate. Many, like some swallowtails, also make a “lasso” which helps keep the pupa in position against its substrate.
This is the hatched-out chrysalis of a Gulf fritillary, Agraulis vanillae, from my backyard passionflower patch. The silk pad attached it to the garden chair.
I’ve been weaving some. It feels good. I wanted to do something with a little more “OMG” factor than the plain black and white cotton I’ve been doing the past few warps, so I went for some silk sewing thread ribbon. The pattern is on 25 tablets, plus 3 tablets of plain border on either side. The pattern is worked in double-face technique, with all the tablets threaded the same – two holes carrying the copper thread, two carrying the silver. The finished trim is just over half an inch wide, yielding an effective density of about 250 EPI (ends per inch.)
I graphed out a chart for this trim for a dress a friend of mine in the SCA made back in the early nineties. It’s based on a portrait of Marguerite de Valois by François Clouet.
Looking at the portrait, the original trim is probably either couched cord, or trim of couched tiny beads. Either way, it rendered really well into tablet weaving graph.
The silk I’m using for this is a very glossy machine embroidery thread. I like low-twist, high-sheen thread for ribbons like this; they are supple and glossy, more so than regular garment sewing threads. This is the band before a wash and a hard steam press; you can see how much the silk flattened out in the first picture.
A turn-of-the-seventeenth century book on sericulture, translated into English by Nicholas Geffe, refers to the”glosse wherein consisteth the chiefest bewtie of the silke.” Still photos just don’t capture it, you have to see it move. Depending on your browser, this might be a moving image.
I saw another band weaver’s bracelets on Facebook, and got intrigued with the concept. This is the first result. The original ribbon was from years ago (decades, actually!) and is Gutermann polyester button thread that I had made for an SCA Iris ribbon; I had woven off the remainder of the warp just to have. I’ve always thought it was pretty, but didn’t have any real project for it. I saw it in my stash of woven bands, and thought, “This could be some seriously crafty homo bling.”
This is one of those projects that had a lot of “opportunities for learning” – where you aren’t sure how to proceed, and you screw up in interesting ways, but once you’ve un-superglued your fingers from the table, you have learned a valuable lesson, and you’ll do it differently next time. The clasp is magnetic, I got them from Amazon. Also, single-use packets of SuperGlue are AWESOME; one tiny tube did the whole thing, and there was no sad half-empty tube sitting in the drawer getting crusty afterward.
I used a piece of the “Fuck That B.S” sampler as the backing. I figured it was apt, and it was the right width. It gives the finished project a lot more heft, and it protects the gold threads from getting sweaty and/or snagged. The thickness of the band, however, meant that there was a significant difference in diameter between the inside and the outside once it was done. What it means in practical terms, is that the piece won’t lie flat. It buckles. Which is fine – it’s not meant to be flat, it’s meant to go around a wrist, and it’s more important for it to lie smoothly on the curve. But for the next one, there will be some curved pressing involved before the stitching, and careful distribution of that diameter difference to make sure that it’s even. Also, my stitches show up a LOT more in photos, so next time I’ll stitch a little more carefully.
This is the ribbon I started with. I wove it some time in the late nineties.
Notes for next time: Press the ribbon round. Stitch in the ditch between threads, even if whipping is faster. Be careful where the SuperGlue goes.

Sony’s last gaming console – the PS4 Pro was one of the best consoles of its time. But in the field of technology, everything gets old in a matter of a few months and so did the PS4. Although Sony hasn’t revealed the launch date of its upcoming gaming console – the Sony PlayStation 5 (PS5) – the company had teased us with some elements of the PS5. During a corporate strategy presentation, Sony has listed out all the information it has revealed about its next console till now. The company also confirmed that the PS5 will be backwards compatible, which means that it will be able to play all the games designed for current-generation consoles and it will also be compatible with the current version of PlayStation VR. It is made possible as the PS5’s architecture is similar to that of PS4.
Other than that, Sony has also said that it will bring out more AAA titles for the PS4 and it will use the PS4 games to encourage the early adopters which is vital for its success. The company also sees the earlier PS4 as the “engine of engagement and profitability” for the next three years. But if the company is planning to make the PS5 big then its own PS4 could prove to be challenging.
The upcoming PS5 will be powered by a new CPU as well as a new GPU, and both of them will be much more powerful than the current generation consoles. According to the lead System architect March Cerny’s interview in Wired, the PS5 will use a 3rd-generation AMD Ryzen CPU with 8 cores paired with a custom GPU built on AMD Radeon Navi family. Sony also confirmed that the PS5 will support Ray Tracing which we have only seen on high-end gaming PCs till now.
Sony has said that the PS5 will have 3D Audio support and it will use SSD instead of HDD to make it faster than before. The company also compared the Sony PS5 to the current generation of Sony PS4 showing that the next gen console will be around 10 times faster than the PS4 Pro. It will also perform more complex and intense graphics related work more smoothly.
The PS5 will have support of 8K graphics which will only be support on an 8K TV, a feat which even the most powerful gaming PCs have trouble overtaking. The company also announced that the Sony PS5 will not be fully digital as it will also have disc support and can play disc games as well. So, it will be able to run the PS4 disc games with ease. Sony is also making its PlayStation Now better and stronger to support streaming which has become a big thing now.
But all the information aside what the company still hasn’t revealed yet is its date of release, its price, what the user experience will be like and which countries will be the first to receive the all new PS5. The company also hasn’t revealed information about a single game which will be coming to the PS5 but it is assured that it will be able to play the current generation titles.

My first performance ever was probably during my college days. When I got a few friends together to play as a band in the Taylor’s Battle of the Bands competition. We didn’t even make it through the first stage, but we had tons of fun. And it was then I discovered my passion for performing.
We did manage to secure a couple of gigs after the band competition experience, playing for a couple of schools and one college event. But man, getting on stage, rocking out, yelling till I had no voice – those were great times. But the best part was hearing the yells and applause from the audience. I don’t know what it is about being applauded which makes it feel great, but it does and I loved every bit of it.
It wasn’t long till we started writing our own music and we recorded our first and only 4-track demo. Not long after we recorded it, the band split. One guitarist travelled abroad for his studies and another was busy with med school leaving me with a drummer and bassist. Sure, I could try to create drum n bass music, but I wasn’t into that.
Anyway, I still wanted to perform but I didn’t have a band to play with. However, my head was still full of song lyrics which I wanted to put down and turn into songs. Since I had no more guitarist, I decided to pick up the guitar on my own and write my own music. It was shit. I was shit at guitar (still am), but I didn’t really care. I just wanted to release all these pent up words.
I didn’t realize it back then, but songwriting to me was a cathartic process. It took me a while to figure it out that the reason I’m usually carefree and positive is because I don’t like spreading negativity (why be Debbie Downer when you can be Pollyanna?). However, since I couldn’t just get rid of my negative feelings like that, I resorted to songwriting.
I made some recordings in my bedroom and put my music on the internet for nobody to listen to (anybody remember the gEmo days?). I did this for a while until I started working at Inspidea and a colleague introduced me to the world of open mics.
She was like, anybody can perform, come on! Don’t be afraid! I missed the feeling I got from performing live, and so I decided to do it. My first session didn’t go so well, I messed up quite a bit, and there were like 2 people in the crowd (thanks Andre!). My second one came not long after that, I didn’t mess up so much (I think) and the crowd loved it. I don’t know, maybe because of the social commentary in my lyrics (I was singing about Friendster back then, can you believe it?). But whatever it was, they applauded and cheered. Even after the show I bumped into someone who told me he really liked my Friendster song.
After that, I started playing more and more gigs, and pretty much became known as the open mic guy because I was playing at every open mic I could. I started another band with a good friend of mine, The Wishing, wrote new tunes. Wrote more tunes for myself, continued playing. I took a break last year to write some new stuff, which I did, and decided to resume playing this year. I’m still a little rusty but it’s good to be back.
Anyway, I’ve got two shows lined up this month – so do come hang out if you’ve got nothing to do this and next Friday!

Shaneil Devaser plays his guitar and sings tunes that come from the heart of a madman, lover and best-friend. Notorious for his slightly-odd behavior, autistic-like attitudes, half-construed sentences and ever-misguided truths, he often dives into a foray of lateral-thoughts and misguided-chords.
Shaneil Devaser will be playing three gigs at the Gaslight Cafe this August and has promised to add a twist at every show and curate a slew of musos for our daily open mic. Here’s the schedule for Friday, August 28th:-

Vice President Dang Thi Ngoc Thinh (C) presents the Vietnamese
third-class Labour Order to the two Presidents of SOS Children’s
Vice President Dang Thi Ngoc Thinh made the remark at a reception for Honorary President Helmut Kutin and President Siddhartha Kaul of SOS Children’s Villages International in Hanoi on December 22.Vietnam now has 71 SOS children’s villages, looking after more than 5,000 kids, she said.
The Law on Minors, which will take effect from July 1, 2017, clearly stipulates the rights of children and regulations on activities of SOS children’s villages, she added
The Vietnam Children’s Fund has mobilised financial sources over the past 25 years to support nearly 30 million orphaned children as well as those with disabilities and heart disease.
However, more than 1.5 million Vietnamese children are still living in difficult conditions and need support, the Vice President said, adding that she hopes the SOS Children’s Villages International will build more children’s villages in Vietnam.
The SOS Presidents said their organisation will closely work with the Vietnamese Government to implement more programmes in Vietnam, especially in Viet Tri city of northern Phu Tho province.
On this occasion, Vice President Dang Thi Ngoc Thinh presented the Vietnamese State’s third-class Labour Order to the two SOS Presidents in recognition of their significant contributions to taking care of Vietnamese children.

She also has an older brother named Jayden Siwa who is her only one sibling. Information regarding her educational background is unavailable with us. But initially, Jojo was homeschooled by her mother in Los Angeles. Most of the bows put by Jojo are handmade by her mother.
The youngest contestant and Her Singles
She gained fame after her participation in Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition which is an American reality show. Her participation in season 2 was as the youngest contestant where she was eliminated in the 9th week.

Many Japanese people don’t have the opportunity to communicate with foreigners, so when they do, they tend to change their attitude a bit.
Foreigners react in different ways to this — some feel they are being treated special, while others are uncomfortable.
In this article, we introduce some examples from the website “MADAME RiRi“.
“I’ve been in Japan for 3 1/2 years. Generally speaking, Japanese people are prejudiced against foreign people who don’t look like Japanese. Japanese people think that no foreigner can speak Japanese. Staff at a bento shop that I’ve visited for 3 years still treat me like I cannot speak Japanese.” (Belgian man)
“I think that the Japanese education system is the main reason why Japanese people cannot communicate with foreign people naturally. Japanese people don’t study much about other races and cultures, do they?” (American woman)
“At first, I was happy when Japanese people gave me compliments like ‘You are good at using chopsticks’ and ‘You speak Japanese very well.’ However, now that I have been in Japan for a long time, these sort of compliments sound like that they are looking down at me.” (Australian man)
“Japanese people treat me as a foreigner when I say that I’m more French than Chinese. ‘Foreign’ for Japanese people means white or black who are obviously not Japanese-looking.” (Chinese woman)
“I think that staff in shops and restaurants treat foreign people better than Japanese people. However, in some situations, I feel like I am being treated like a mascot.” (Dutch man)
“Actually, it’s annoying when many Japanese people show me a product and ask ‘Is this product available America too?’ I have to tell them I’m not American.” (Danish man)
“I’m happy that Japanese people treat me as a foreigner. I think that foreign people don’t have any pressure to practice speaking Japanese because Japanese people don’t expect foreigners to do so.” (Brazilian man)
“If you come to Japan thinking that all Japanese people are sweet, you will be in for a shock a lot. This is my experience and there is no country where everybody is sweet.” (Italian man)
“Many Japanese can’t help it because foreigners in Japan are a minority.” (Scottish man)
“Sometimes, when I see foreigners in Japanese dramas and animation, most of them seem stupid. It makes me uncomfortable if Japanese people think that foreign people are like that.” (American man)
“Japan is not a country with many immigrants like America and Europe. I think many Japanese have a hard time communicating not just with foreigners but also with other Japanese who are outside their sphere. That’s the ‘soto-uchi’ concept.” (American man)
“I think Japanese people change their attitude when they communicate with foreigners because they are interested in foreign countries and cultures.” (English man)
“Not all Japanese change their attitude when they communicate with foreigners. Japanese people who have lived abroad as exchange students, for example, communicate with foreigners in much the same way as they interact with Japanese. Maybe it depends on their experience level in communicating with with foreigners.” (American man)
What do you think? Please let us how you feel and share your experiences in Japan.

American Promise is spearheading a 50-state Citizen Up-Rising with one goal: the 28th Amendment to get big money out of politics and ensure fair representation of the American people. This is how we re-establish common sense rules to regain balance in our democracy and guarantee free and fair elections. American Promise will see it through, and every citizen has a local role to play in this national wave of action.
Here's how far we've come, with 19 state resolution for the 28th Amendment, and 800 cities and towns taking a stand:
We inspire and support cross-partisan efforts of all Americans who are committed to a 28th Amendment: We the People – not money, not super PACs, not corporations – govern the United States.


The paper offers more on how Feinblatt and Mintz made it official:
On Sunday, Mr. Mintz gathered his daughters at the family’s weekend home on Long Island and asked them a question. Wasn’t it time that he married their father?
The girls jumped up and down and screamed “Yes!” Mr. Mintz then grabbed a fistful of flowers from the yard and called Mr. Feinblatt outside. With the girls standing a few feet away, Mr. Mintz bent down on one knee and made it official.
“He said yes,” Mr. Mintz recalled. “It would have been pretty awkward if he hadn’t after 14 years.”
Later that day, the two men took their daughters ring shopping.
It’s enough to melt my little gay heart!

This morning's Ithaca Journal reports that the Dryden Town Board will be meeting tonight at 7:00pm in the Dryden Village Hall (map) for a public information session about the purchase of land for a new Town Hall and other possible uses. The Dryden Courier had reported on the prospect of 20-25 acres, but the parcel in question turns out to be 47 acres. The price of $100,000 the article mentions does sound awfully reasonable for 47 acres. The Journal notes:
The size of the parcel has led to talk of possible other uses for the land. Some suggestions include building recreation fields and a nature trail. Wetlands comprise about 20 acres of the parcel for purchase and could be the site of the trail. With the new town hall built, there's also discussion of moving the town garage offices into what would be the vacated offices.
Last night's public hearing on the annexation of Dryden Mutual Insurance property to the Village of Dryden was quiet, with no opposition expressed to the annexation and some discussion of larger annexation possibilities.
Dryden firefighters provided mutual aid at a house fire in Virgil, but the structure was a total loss.
In the Ithaca City School District, the superintendent's budget includes some staff increases.
At the county level, the Tompkins County United Way discussed a survey which found that 10% of Tompkins County residents have trouble paying for food. They also found that:
Posted by simon at March 3, 2005 7:53 AM in Ithaca Journal , Village of Dryden , politics (local) , public finance , schools (Ithaca)
interviews conducted in food pantries in rural areas of the county showed that users were using the pantries on a regular basis. People who were interviewed were also hesitant to sign up for food stamps, she said. People interviewed in the city, however, were more likely to sign up for food stamps, but did not want to visit food pantries.


Vehicle exhaust systems channel exhaust fumes from the engine out to the rear of the vehicle, in built baffle plates reduce the noise created by the engine. The exhaust system is commonly made up of various sections held together with bolts or clamps and sealed by gaskets to stop fumes escaping under the vehicle. The exhausts system is commonly made from steel and gets very hot, so do not touch when hot as it may cause severe burns. Heat shields attached to the body and chassis of your vehicle deflect the heat away from fuel and brake lines and the fuel tank as well as any other vulnerable areas to heat.
Every ITS inspection checks the visible condition of the exhaust system for heavy corrosion, we check the exhaust hangers and connections for severe corrosion, leaks in the system or gaskets, any damage cracks, holes or loose supports. If you hear a change in the sound of your exhaust or notice an irregular smell of exhaust fumes we advise you to book into ITS autos for us to inspect and report on the condition of your exhaust system.
Exhaust repair prices vary depending on any parts required and model type, please enquire for a no obligation quote.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The Birmingham City Council unanimously voted to shut down a longtime adult club, snatching its dance and liquor licenses.
The vote today comes after several hearings following two deadly shootings on the property. Eight members were present, with Councilwoman Carole Smitherman absent.
Lawyer Jon Vickers and other club supporters restated their previous argument that the club was unfairly blamed for violence and incidents in the area that are not associated with Mike's.
Vickers said most of the police reports were property damage reports.
Shirley Gavin Floyd, president of the Smithfield Neighborhood, spoke in favor of the club, saying a representative from Mike's met with the group and explained how incidents were erroneously attributed to it.
Floyd said the club's owners in recent years have made improvements following a shooting in which a bullet entered the club and killed a patron.
"The club has been a good steward in the neighborhood since we came against him last time," Floyd said. There's no longer a reason to rally against the business, she said.
Those speaking against the club included Juanita Carter, whose 19-year-old son, Richard Carter, was killed July 13.
Carter said her should not have been in the club, and that management could not have asked for his identification because she had his wallet.
Carter's aunt, Deborah Griffin, called the club a blight and danger to the area.
"Death can't be explained away as the neighborhood president did," Griffin said. "I want to see Mike's closed. I want to see it padlocked. I want to see it bulldozed, dead and buried."
Councilman Steven Hoyt said, "We're trying to clean up this place, get folks excited about coming back to our town. We have to learn to respect life. ¤.¤. This is a place that shouldn't be."
Councilwoman Kim Rafferty dismissed Mike's claims that problems didn't originate at the club, ticking off several detailed complaints including underage dancing, bottomless dancing and arrests of patrons after leaving Mike's.
"We all know what it is. It's a strip joint," Councilwoman Lashunda Scales said. "Don't dress it up."

The conditions of development of British Black Art are tied up with a social and cultural history of Europe, especially the anti-immigration policies of Margaret Thatcher and their consequences, such as the Brixton riots of the early 1980s. British Black Art Works suggests new narratives about canonical artworks of the British Black Art movement, such as Lubaina Himid’s 1984 “Freedom and Change,” Eddie Chambers’ 1980 “Destruction of the National Front” and Sonia Boyce’s 1986 “Lay Back Keep Quiet and Think of What Made Britain So Great,” interrogating their critical agency from an art-historical perspective. These artworks, art historian Sophie Orlando argues, imply a critical analysis of Western art history.
This volume introduces readers to an important, long-marginalized movement and recontextualizes it with groundbreaking scholarship./
Sophie Orlando is an art historian, researcher for “Black Artists and Modernism” (AHRC funded project based at UAL / Middlesex University, London) and associate professor of theory and contemporary art history at the National Art School, Villa Arson, in Nice. As a specialist in British art and in particular British Black Art, she has published in La revue de l’art, and Les Cahiers du Musée National d’Art Moderne. Her article “Artistic categories and the Situation of Utterance, the Period from 1989 to 1994 in Great Britain”, appeared in the magazine Critical Interventions: Journal of Art History and Visual Culture (#12, 2013). She is also curator for an exhibition on the British artist Sonia Boyce, at the Villa Arson in January 2016.

Fullerton, Calif. -
Freshman Josh Ritchart scored 20 points and junior Eddie Miller added another 20 Tuesday night in UC Davis' 88-72 victory over Cal State Fullerton in the first game of Big West Conference play for both teams.
Andre Hardy led Fullerton (4-9) with 19 points and 9 rebounds in his second game back since March, 2009, and Orane Chin added 17 points, but it wasn't enough as Davis (6-7) shot 63 percent in the second half to pull away. Davis shot 41 percent overall at the 3-point line, making 5-of-18 in the first half and 8-of-14 in the second.
Ryan Sypkens (17) and Joe Harden (15) also were in double figures.
Both teams shot below 40 percent in the first half, which Davis led, 36-27. Fullerton got as close as 42-41 at 14:59 on a Chin layup but the Aggies went on a 9-0 run on baskets by four different players. Fullerton pulled within 5 points at 68-63 at 4:40 but Davis scored the next 13 points.
"It's really discouraging to open conference play like this," said CSF Coach Bob Burton. "Our team hasn't played together and our chemistry is not really good. And we're in terrible shape.
"But the real problem is defensively. We didn't want to zone them but it brought us back early in the second half. We get within one point and all of a sudden we didn't step up."
Fullerton will host Pacific Thursday night while Davis travels to Cal State Northridge.

This post has been updated.
A week after the national school walkout, some Wisconsin students went the extra mile, or this case - 50 miles, to protest gun violence. The students wrapped up a four-day, 50-mile march from Madison to Janesville Wednesday, following last weekend's nationwide March For Our Lives rallies. And the organizers say their work isn't done, even if the march is.
Katie Eder says gun violence isn't a political issue; but rather, students are literally fighting for their lives.


Fists, barbs fly in Punjab Assembly
LAHORE, June 21: The adversarial style of women Punjab Assembly members went a step ahead on Thursday as members of either side traded blows and fisticuffs with each other.
Violence broke out when Pakistan Muslim League-Q legislators protested ban on their colleague, Seemal Kamran, from attending the session. They gathered in front of Speaker Rana Muhammad Iqbal’s rostrum and interrupted the proceedings, when he began proceedings for the approval of the Punjab Finance Bill 2012.
Opposition members of the Pakistan People’s Party also joined the protest and began chanting ‘Lathi goli ki sarkar nahi chale gi’. The fierce protest forced the assembly staff to leave their chairs. Later, these moveable chairs were used as weapons by the members who hurled them at each other.
A PML-N legislator also slapped a PML-Q member. PPP’s Amjad Meo and Sheikh Mumtaz exchanged the fisticuffs for a while.
Amid chaos, the speaker kept on ordering MPAs to behave but no member listened to him. He adjourned the House for 15 minutes.
The speaker had suspended PML-Q’s Seemal Kamran and unification bloc’s Sheikh Allauddin for using derogatory language and hurling shoe on Wednesday.
When the House resumed its proceedings after 45 minutes, Opposition Leader Raja Riaz said the PPP had decided not to observe Benazir Bhutto’s birth anniversary owing to the death of Fauzia Wahab.
He said all parties recognised that Benazir Bhutto had promoted democracy in the country. “The Pakistani institutions are being run democratically just because of the sacrifice of Benazir Bhutto,” he added. For this reason, he said, the PPP had organised a blood camp outside the Punjab Assembly building to ensure that patients in need could regain their lives.Mr Riaz also

The Lake Cathie Amateur Fishing Club's Charity Fish Auction is set to lure a crowd on Sunday, June 16.
Lake Cathie Amateur Fishing Club president Melissa Donchi said she is looking forward to another successful community event to help raise money for two local volunteer organisations.
Club members will not be fishing at Lake Cathie and will instead go to Port Macquarie or down south to Laurieton and Harrington to seek their supply.
Recently a school excursion into the waterways at Lake Cathie and Lake Innes uncovered disturbing results with high salinity levels and dead fish painting a dire picture of a starving marine environment.
The Revive Lake Cathie group is planning a meeting with all stakeholders to help future-proof the lakes.
Melissa said even though Lake Cathie businesses are going through hard times, they have generously provided prize donations for the auction.
The auction demonstrates the strength of the community, as fishing clubs and locals from around the area unite to donate their weekend haul.
"You can expect to see about 250 fishos donate their weekend, often with no sleep, catching many species like bream, flathead, snapper, jewfish, blackfish, whiting, tailor, leather jacket and pearl perch," Melissa said.
The haul will be auctioned off at Lake Cathie Bowling Club from 1pm. Community members are invited to bid for a fresh feed of quality local fish.
Melissa said the Lake Cathie Amateur Fishing Club has run the auction for over 30 years.
All proceeds from the day are donated to the Lake Cathie Rural Fire Service and Camden Haven Marine Rescue.
The fishing event is open to anyone that would like to donate their catch and entry is free.
All fish must be at the weigh in area by 11am on Sunday, June 16 and the bidding begins at 1pm.
Melissa said the event is a great family day and prizes are donated by many businesses located in the Camden Haven and Port Macquarie-Hastings.
There will be a jumping castle for the children, sausage sizzle, cupcake stall, raffles and entertainment.
"Our auctioneer, Chris Perry will be entertaining you with his fun and energetic skills," Melissa said.

European and US investors steered clear of a controversial Kremlin Eurobond sale because the organisers didn't arrange clearing in time for them to transact, bne IntelliNews can report after the $1.75bn placement of 10-year notes.
Investors required VTB Capital, the state-controlled investment bank in charge of the deal, to set up a bridge to the Russian clearing system after the two main settlement agencies, which play a key technical role in placing bonds internationally, didn't sign up to handle Russia's first issue in three years.
The bond's prospectus said that there would be "no assurance" that the issue would be eligible for clearing systems such as Euroclear and Clearstream Banking. Instead, they will be settled on Russia's own National Settlement Depository (NSD), it noted.
Most international investors, who trade in US dollars, are not set up with the NSD and therefore missed out the chance to participate, according to Paul McNamara, a London-based fund manager at GAM. with about $4.5bn of assets under management.
"They screwed up the settlement thing," McNamara told bne IntelliNews. "Most dollar investors won't have NSD accounts good to go – only local-currency investors like us and Russians," he said. "The Euroclear bridge should be perfectly feasible, but amateur hour meant they didn't have all the boxes ticked ahead of time."
Argentina, which has had far deeper problems with investors than Russia, set up trading bridges with both Clearstream and Euroclear last year after being readmitted to international capital markets.
McNamara also pointed out that federal government bonds (OFZs) are also already euroclearable via the NSD.
VTB Capital, which managed - or mismanaged - the deal, didn't immediately reply to an e-mail seeking comment.
Triumph that wasn't
Analysts and journalists alike were bamboozled by the sale as VTB Capital claimed the Eurobond was a triumph in attracting back international foreign investors.
"Foreign investors boost Russia's bond comeback," ran the FT's initial headline about the issue before some backpeddling in a subsequent story. Nomura International strategist Tim Ash said he was surprised the Kremlin had followed through with the issue "given the lack of foreign demand".
The Russian Finance Ministry claimed that $1bn of the $1.75bn raised came from foreign investors. But a senior debt capital markets banker in Moscow said it was highly unlikely that genuine foreign investors had access to the deal.
"We reckon it was friends and family of Kremlin Inc," said the banker, who helped arrange prior sovereign deals, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Andrey Kostin, the head of the state-controlled VTB flatly refused to name the investors participating in his comments to a US newswire.
However, the Finance Ministry admitted most of the "foreign" investors were indeed from Britain, whose capital, known in some circles as "Londongrad", is a mecca for Russian wealth.
Andrey Solovyev, head of VTB's debt capital markets, pointed the finger at Euroclear for their lack of participation. He said the bank had received "positive messages" from the clearing house in the lead-up to the sale and he was surprised by its decision not to state that it would settle the bond.
The FT changed its tune on the deal on May 25 in a report saying the deal was "creating discord" in debt capital markets.
Some Western banks, who did steer clear of the deal, will be delighted at how badly it fared without them. Nonetheless, there is demand for Russian sovereign and quasi-sovereign paper given the over-subscription seen late last year for Eurobonds worth $3.7bn sold by Gazprom, Norilsk Nickel and Evraz. The three blue-chips, unlike the Russian sovereign, have not been blackballed with sanctions imposed in 2014 over the Kremlin's involvement in the Ukraine conflict.
The quality of the investors is the main but not sole concern, according to privately-held Alfa Bank. "The Finance Ministry finally raised $1.75bn, while the demand was for $7bn, which suggests that a larger placement would have been more costly," the bank adds.
Despite the placement not clearly showing that investor interest in Russia is stronger than sanctions, and it failing to place the targeted $3bn in foreign borrowings originally budgeted for 2016, this still marks a first Russian return to international markets with a sovereign issue since the start of the Ukrainian conflict in 2014 and the imposition of Western sanctions.
"There wasn't any real financial need to issue bonds," the head of the Finance Ministry's debt department Konstantin Vyshkovsky told Bloomberg. He added that "we sold them to confirm our presence in the market, as a long hiatus is bad for an issuer, to feel out investor sentiment and to understand our possibilities overall".
The ministry might make an additional sale of $1.25bn by the end of 2016, Vyshkovsky said.
Earlier in the year, Russia announced its intention to place a benchmark $3bn bond issue, but Wall Street and European banks came under intense pressure from Western authorities and financial regulators not to assist.
Although Russian sovereign debt is not prohibited directly, Eurobond revenues could potentially be channelled to sanctioned companies, making Western banks wary of falling foul of the sanctions regime.
Moscow previously held back from such issuance for fear of provoking further sanctions from the West to close gaps in the embargo regime.
However, in mid-May the European Commission's foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini made it clear there would be no talk of tightening sanctions at the next EU council meeting.
Russia's last sovereign issue was $7bn worth of Eurobonds placed in 2013: $1.5bn of 5-year notes at 3.7%, $3bn of 10-year notes at 5.1%, and $1.5bn of 30-year bonds at 6.05%.
Therefore the new bond's yield of 4.7% is not seen as expensive for Moscow given the current geopolitical risks and tensions.

There were only a few times growing up when Rebecca Meiksin was confronted by someone who didn't think gay people should be parents.
Annie O'Neill, Post-GazetteRebecca Meiksin's mother is a lesbian. She is heterosexual.
But one day, when a classmate at Allderdice High School casually suggested just that, she could not keep silent.
"I turned to him and said, 'Why not? My mom is gay, and I turned out OK' and he just stared at me, like, 'No, wait, really?' He was so embarrassed. He didn't know he was being offensive, he just didn't know what he was talking about."
Other than those few encounters, Ms. Meiksin, a 22-year-old graduate of Oberlin College, is comfortable about her life as the daughter of a lesbian mother. She herself turned out to be straight -- "I did not grow up hating men," she laughs. As a toddler, she played with other children of gay and lesbian parents and her mother took her to gay pride events.
"I had a very strong support system in the Pittsburgh gay community. A lot of my mom's friends are gay, and especially because she wasn't partnered until I was 12, I was around her friends a lot, I was around the gay community a lot, and so I knew a lot of normal, fun, functioning people who are gay, so it's not like I ever internalized any of that, like 'This is bad,' or 'My mom is the only person like this.' It was normal to me."
In school, her friends were from all different backgrounds. An excellent student, she has always loved working with children, as a baby-sitter and in camps and after-school programs.
She's intensely interested in politics and health care issues. While at Oberlin she spent January 2004 in South Africa with the World Library Partnership helping high school students in a rural area with literacy projects, starting a debate team and a "community mapping project" to locate medical and employment resources.
Even today, "I'm very close with my mother," she said. "Until I was 12 it was just her and me, and I got tons of attention."
When her mother's partner moved in with them, "we had the same conflicts that any step-family would have during my teenage years but I always felt supported by my mother and developed that relationship with [her partner] also."
Occasionally she speculates about her biological father -- an anonymous sperm donor. "I do wonder about that, like any child without a father or a mother probably would," she says. But, growing up, her grandparents and her uncle served as role models, and "my mom made a deliberate effort to have men around me."
"When I was maybe 5 or 6, I decided I wanted a father figure, I wanted to celebrate father's day with, and she told me, 'Well, why don't you pick someone?'
"And I said, OK, and I picked her friend Richard. So I asked him, 'Will you be my father,' and he said, 'Well, what do I have to do?' and I said, 'Love me,' and he said, 'I already do that.' "

Welcome to Kid’s Week: Day 4. Now, let’s be honest here. How many films can you think of that are revolved around Easter, and don’t say there’s plenty of Jesus films. Easter, with the candies and the bunnies and the Easter bunnies! Not many. In fact, I really can’t think of more than maybe two, one of them being Hop. Interestingly enough, I’ve never actually seen the movie until this week, so I was hoping to see something really good, or at least, decent. So, let’s discuss what the movie was about.
He was destined to be the Easter Bunny, but all he wanted to do was rock! When teenage E.B. leaves for Hollywood in pursuit of his dream to become a rock star drummer, he meets Fred, an out-of-work slacker with his own lofty goals. Together the two encounter a series of hilarious mishaps and misadventures and in the end help each other recognize the importance of family.
Essentially, this was a Christmas film that was masked as an Easter film. There’s a sleigh of sorts that are carried by magical flying baby chickens, They have a delivery every year, an Easter factory where they make their candies, lots of little bunny helpers, etc. It’s Christmas plain and clear, but the mask they use is still really good. Instead of actually feeling like Christmas with Christmas spirit, it feels more like another true holiday that’s all about joy and magic. If you’re wondering, all of the candies and bunnies and chicks and colors going around definitely felt like Easter. While it doesn’t have a massive competition, Hop might just be the best Easter movie that exists.
First impressions aside, let’s go ahead and break the movie apart and examine what was good and not-so-good about Hop. Let’s interpret the stars.
PEOPLE SCORE – 3/10
Acting – 0|Characters – 1|Casting – 1|Importance – 0|Chemistry – 1
Starting off on a bad note with the people category, which only received three out of ten possible stars. Ouch. First off, we have the acting subcategory, which got a glamorous zero. Why? Well, with kids movies and comedy films, you don’t typically need the greatest acting, but usually, it’s just typical stuff. James Marsden was specifically terrible at acting in this film, particularly when he was attempting to speak to a (granted) fake CGI animal, his entire face twists and contorts in unnatural ways that just screams bad acting, more than just typical kids movie silly acting. The characters were fine, but nothing I’ll really remember, the casting was all fine as well, but anyone could’ve played these roles. However, with very little plot involved in the film, no one really had a really important role to play. Finally, chemistry. I feel like there needed to be better chemistry between E.B. and Marsden, but because of his awful acting, that never really happens.
WRITING SCORE – 5/10
Dialogue – 1|Balance – 0|Story – 1|Originality – 1|Interesting – 2
Next up, we have the writing category, which also didn’t get the best score. The dialogue itself wasn’t all that memorable, and the only time it tried to be was when they were saying typical Christmas lines made to sound like Easter. This also turns into something pretty convoluted by the end, as there’s not much of a main direction throughout the film, and then there is – and then there’s this villain that seems to pop out of nowhere, it just wasn’t natural. The story isn’t terrible, but nothing I’m going to remember as being very special. It’s more of an original take on Christmas, but the actual originality isn’t by much. Is it interesting? For that, I’ll say of course. We don’t have nearly enough Easter films, and this is a decent one.
BTS SCORE – 8/10
Visuals – 2|Directing – 1|Editing – 1|Advertisement – 2|Music – 2
Okeedokey, next up is the stuff going on behind-the-scenes, which actually did get an alright score. The visuals were honestly pretty great. There’s a lot going on with the graphics and animation, which all blended rather nicely with the live action parts. As far as directing and editing is considered, a lot of that was common for any other kids movie, so that wasn’t impressive. I’ll give it credit for being as advertised, and for having a decent soundtrack, especially when the bunny decided to drum, that was always fun.
NARRATIVE ARC SCORE – 9/10
Introduction – 2|Inciting Incident – 2|Obstacles – 2|Climax – 1|Falling Action – 2
Hop also followed a pretty solid narrative structure, as do most kids films. The introduction got us acquainted with this secret land and generational traditions of the Easter bunnies. The inciting incident is when E.B. decides he doesn’t want to be the Easter bunny, runs away, and runs into James Marsden’s character. The obstacles mostly come to Marsden attempting to get a job and keep the fact that he has a talking bunny a secret. The climax is a little anticlimactic because of the weird convoluted part of the story, but fully points return with the falling action, which returns to a new norm.
ENTERTAINMENT SCORE – 6/10
Rewatchability – 2|Fun – 2|Impulse/Buy – 1|Impulse/Talk – 0|Sucks you in – 1
A big part of this movie was that it seemed to be more about being a fun, entertaining film than being something that’s technically good, which is why it’s awarded more points here and with the specialty questions than anywhere else. I think it’s definitely a traditional film you can easily watch every Easter, it’s a lot of fun for both the kids and their respective families, you might even want to buy it…if you can find it cheap, that is. It sucks you in during certain scenes, but not all of them, but it never begs the audience to have any discussions about it. No one is going to watch it and feel a strong urge to tell others to see it.
TOTAL SPECIAL – 50/50
Kids Week – 10|Family – 10|Comedy – 10|Easter – 10|Halfway Decent – 10
Now, for the specialty questions that I wrote before seeing the movie. For kids week, this is a very good film for both kids and their respective families, so if you’re looking for a good movie to watch every Easter, I’m pretty sure I’ve found the perfect film, so that covers three specialty questions, the next two cover its comedy and if it was halfway decent. With the comedy, I felt like there was a lot of sarcasm in this movie, which you don’t always see in animated films like this, so I definitely thought a few of the scenes were certainly funny, and as for being halfway decent? Even though I felt it was a masked version of all Christmas movies put together, I still felt it did what it wanted to do, which was making a decent Easter movie that you would have no issues watching it every year, so yes. It is halfway decent.


You will get the complete guide here that how Perth Scorchers will standalone in a season for the Rebel Women Big Bash League. Scorchers always keep their attention on both batting and bowling. Unfortunately, they won’t be able to play the last match in big bash league season 4. Their bowling and batting positions bring change in the team from the west.
In Orange in Big Bash season 4, English batter Amy Jones comes back to the Scorchers. Before she was playing for the orange team, she will join the team with countrywoman Nat. Nat Sciver comes back after hiatus from big bash league season 4.
Elyse Villani captain also moves to the stars, but it will be a high competition to play against the jones and keeping the gloves active for Australia. She will play with the Representatives of Australia, Georgia Redmayne. Georgia came from the Hobart Hurricanes.

There will be a bowling attack from the Jemma, who is from Brisbane Heat. On the other hand, 30 years old, Keth Hempenstal is pace bowler, and she is donning Women Big bash league shirt for the first time.
Cricket Commentator Mel Jones said something about the Perth Scorchers.
Squad depth will be the key to success for the Perth Scorchers. England players in a team have to stay long in a match as everyone got an injury at different times. But they have to fill the gaps with the youngest players. Further said, I think Perth will go fine in a league.
— Perth Scorchers (@ScorchersBBL) October 26, 2019
Heather Graham topped wickets tally, and now she is forcing herself to play in the Perth Scorchers Australian Squad. She made her first international match debut in West Indies. It was a one-day international match against Sri Lanka. She played already for Australia domestic in 2018-19 and the best performance of the year. Heath has also got the National Performance Squad.
Meg Lanning is the captain of Perth Scorchers, and she had never played a final match in the Women Big bash league. Perth needs to bring more runs and took wickers to come in the top four.


The East Delhi area is famous for being home to the oldest and largest garbage dump in the city. The landfill site spread over an area of 29 acres in Ghazipur was commissioned in 1984.
The giant pile of garbage is now growing at such a speed that it is competing with the height of Qutub Minar, the tallest minaret of India.
8 metres shorter than Qutub Minar
A recent report of Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science & Technology, Environment and Forests, while noting the observations on landfill sites in Delhi, said that the height of Ghazipur landfill site has reached as high as 65 metres which is just eight metres less than the height of the national monument Qutub Minar.
What is the height of Qutub Minar?
The red sandstone tower of Qutub Minar is 72.5 m high, tapering from 2.75 m in diameter at its peak to 14.32 m at its base, and alternating angular and rounded flutings according to UNESCO.
The tower is so high that around 379 steps are needed to be climbed to reach the top according to Qutub Minar's official website.
Ghazipur garbage dump collapse
The site has been impacting the lives of many residents of Gharoli, Khoda, Gharoli Extension, Kalyanpuri, Kaushambi, Ghazipur and Kondli.
Around a year before, when the landfill collapsed in September 2017 killing two persons, the authorities of the area were prompted them to take measures to avoid such a disaster in the future.
Garbage dumping ban after accident
Garbage dumping in Ghazipur was banned with immediate effect on September 2, 2017, after the accident happened.
The officials at Lt Governor Anil Baijal's office announced that landfill site is likely to be cleared within two years, according to PTI.
In another statement, they said that National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) assured the LG that it will begin the process of lifting, segregating and processing of the solid waste by November 2017 for its use in road construction.
No land to dump garbage
The municipal agencies of the city have been repeatedly demanding more land from the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to set up landfills and waste-to-energy plants.
But, the sites allocated to the municipal corporations two years ago, are still unused. According to MCD officials, the sites provided are either too small to be used as landfill sites or not been demarcated properly by DDA as per the reports of Hindustan Times.
3 landfill sites in Delhi
According to Delhi Government's official website, there are three landfill sites in the city, namely Bhalswa, Ghazipur and Okhla.
These sites were commissioned after the 1980s:
According to Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC), it has not granted authorization to all three landfill sites and according to Municipal Solid Wastes (Management & Handling) Rules, 2000 (MSW Rules), these sites are not designed according to Schedule 3.
What does Schedule 3 of MSW rules say?
It has specifications for landfilling indicating; site selection, facilities at the site, specifications for landfilling, pollution prevention, water quality monitoring, ambient air quality monitoring, plantation at a landfill site, closure of landfill site and post care.
Revised rules of MSW
On April 5, 2016, the Environment Ministry had revised Solid Waste Management Rules after 16 years according to PIB.
During the press conference, HRD minister Prakash Javadekar said that the rules are now applicable beyond municipal areas and will extend to urban agglomerations, census towns, notified industrial townships, areas under the control of Indian Railways, airports, airbase etc.
He also pointed out that 62 million tonnes of waste is generated annually in the country at present, out of which 5.6 million tonnes is plastic waste, 0.17 million tonnes is biomedical waste, hazardous waste generation is 7.90 million tonnes per annum and 15 lakh tonne is e-waste.
Waste-to-energy plant set up in Ghazipur
IL&FS Environment Company has set up a waste-to-energy plant at the Ghazipur dumpsite, which receives more than 2000 tons per day of Delhi's municipal solid waste.
What is this waste-to-energy technique?
It is the process of generating energy in the form of electricity or heat from the combustion of waste source.
The plant is operational at Jahangirpuri for processing of constructional and Demolition waste in Delhi according to the official website of Delhi Government.
How does this plant work?
An elaborate seven-stage pre-processing section in the plant converts waste to Refuse Derived Fuel of high calorific value.
Set up to initially process 1300 tons per day (TPD) of municipal solid waste and generate 12 MW of green power, the plant is built with a capacity to process 2000 TPD of waste, according to their official website.
Problems with Ghazipur landfill
According to IL & FS report, the problems are as follows:
- Incompatible land use
- Poor condition of physical infrastructure
- Hazardous living conditions in slums
- Poor connectivity of the area to the rest of the city
The worry remains constant as the plans and measures are existing but their implementation problems are not helping the city.

Reindeer herding (RDH) is a livelihood strategy deeply connected to Sami cultural tradition. This article explores the implications of two theoretical and methodological approaches for grasping complex socioenvironmental relationships of RDH in Subarctic Sweden. Based on joint fieldwork, two teams – one that aligns itself with political ecology (PE) and the other with social-ecological systems (SES) – compared PE and SES approaches of understanding RDH. Our purpose was twofold: 1) to describe the situation of Sami RDH through the lenses of PE and SES, exploring how the two approaches interpret the same empirical data; 2) to present an analytical comparison of the ontological and epistemological assumptions of this work, also inferring different courses of action to instigate change for the sustainability of RDH. Key informants from four sameby in the Kiruna region expressed strong support for the continuation of RDH as a cultural and economic practice. Concerns about the current situation raised by Sami representatives centered on the cumulative negative impacts on RDH from mining, forestry and tourism. PE and SES researchers offered dissimilar interpretations of the key aspects of the RDH socio-economic situation, namely: the nature and scale of RDH systems; the ubiquitous role of conflict; and conceptualizations of responses to changing socioenvironmental conditions. Due to these disparities, PE and SES analyses have radically divergent sociopolitical implications for what ought to be done to redress the current RDH situation.

Visual effects firm says that Disney contracted with people who stole the technologyThe company was slapped with a lawsuit on Monday by a visual effects company, which claims that its technology was misappropriated for “Beauty and the Beast,” “Guardians of the Galaxy” and Avengers:“[I]n all of the film industry and media accolades about the record-breaking success of ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ and the acclaimed cutting-edge digital MOVA Contour technology that made the film’s success possible, nowhere is it mentioned that the patented and copyright-protected MOVA Contour technology was stolen from its inventor and developer, Rearden LLC, and its owner Rearden Mova LLC,” the suit reads.Nowhere is it mentioned that although Disney had previously contracted with Rearden LLC and its controlled entities on four previous major motion pictures to use MOVA Contour and knew of a Rearden Demand Letter to one of the thieves demanding immediate return of the stolen MOVA Contour system, Disney nonetheless contracted with the thieves to use the stolen MOVA Contour system.

[...] a federal judge is considering whether too much of their payout is being siphoned away by legal fees and high-interest loans.A court-appointed advocate for one of the brothers argued in a court filing Wednesday that Henry McCollum and Leon Brown were steered into dubious financial arrangements by lawyers who stand to profit from the men's lawsuit against the investigators who put them behind bars.A guardian ad-litem can be appointed for children or for adults with reduced mental capacity.In his filing Wednesday, Tarlton said the legal fees and interest on loans would leave McCollum with only about $178,000 of his $500,000 share of the proposed settlement with the town of Red Springs.Yet Tartlon notes that in the months after receiving the payout, McCollum's finances had deteriorated to the point that he took out high-interest loans of $50,000 and $15,000 against any future settlements.Defense attorneys have said they were scared teens with low IQs who were berated by investigators and fed details about the crime before they signed fabricated confessions.
