First of all: variation is part of our nature. Not only we're not able to do the exact same thing twice, but we often don't really like it.
And what you hear is not "off-beat".
There are two important aspects to consider:
- Before mechanical recording and reproduction of music were invented, there was no such thing as "the original version". Every rendition of every music piece was different, sometimes dramatically.
- Fixed tempo during the whole duration of the piece and specific metronome markings ("BPM") are relatively new in music history, especially for popular music that is commonly listened to by most people.
Before notation was standardized, music was only shared by ways of reproducing it by ear. This obviously meant that there were some "common" pieces that were known by many people, but each rendition was different due the transformation processes caused by every musician playing it in a slightly different (and personalized) way and the others trying to reproduce it, possibly with different instruments.
Even after notation became more common, a lot of music included parts that explicitly left some amount of freedom to the performer (cadenzas, ornaments), while others completely depends on the feeling of the performers: especially tempo, dynamics, duration in dynamic variations. Other aspects that might impact on those variations are technical: depending on the instrument, the acoustics of the place in which it's played.
If you take a single classical music piece, you won't be able to find two exactly identical renditions, from different musicians, and even from the same one.
Then, fixed-tempo-music is relatively new: while it was already common even in ancient "popular" (folk) music, that was mostly due to the fact that they were based on simple forms and/or intended for dancing (which clearly requires a steady tempo). Most classical music has time variations throughout the whole duration, and those variations are not always the same, depending on... interpretation.
Finally, metronome markings are relatively new: the metronome was invented at the beginning of the 19th century, before that there were only text indications (mostly in Italian: "Allegro" for "pretty fast", "Adagio" as "slowly", etc.) that were very approximate. Even after the metronome, most music didn't indicate any precise tempo marking, in order to leave some level of freedom to the... again, interpretation.
When soloists come in place (temporarily or for the whole piece) have even more freedom in these aspects. Even if the accompaniment is pretty "stable", their tempo is not always on a "fixed grid". That's because interpretation means allowing the performer to emphasize in different ways what they're playing/singing: sometimes it's virtuosity (imagine a singer that can keep a high note for a very long time), or because they want the audience to pay more attention to some aspects of a song/piece/word.
And, yes, sometimes it's for boredom, but in reality it's to avoid it, as playing the same thing in the same way for hundreds or thousands of times is really boring, and it's something that can be often perceived by the audience: if I'm bored, the audience can become bored too.
Singing is probably the practice that mostly takes advantage of the freedom of interpretation. Since we're very accustomed to human voice, as listeners we can perceive a lot of (different) things depending on how something is spoken (sung), and a good performer is able to play with those infinitesimal aspects, not unlike an actor can say the same line in dozens of different ways, each one of them passing different feelings to the audience.
In the beginning of this post I wrote that we, as humans, often don't like repetition.
It might seem counterintuitive: most people, nowadays, prefers to listen to the same piece again and again, and when they listen to it somewhere else (like, in live concerts), they are more likely to enjoy the piece if it's "the same" as they were used to. This is because our brain "enjoys" recognizing schemes we already know.
We are now accustomed to the fact that we can listen to the exact same piece again and again, many people enjoy this, you specifically express that:
In general I think the result is awkward and spoils my fun listening.
In fact, many people are actually bored to listen to the same exact version of the same song again and again, and really enjoy to listen to different renditions even from the same performer, and even if we really love "the original". That's also a reason for which many people prefer going to concerts: it's often an occasion to listen to something they like, but with a different "touch", and sometimes even get surprised. It's a way to find and realize new things, consider songs from new and different aspects, know the performers better, their feelings, their abilities.
That is strange, because usually the original was very successful for a reason.
There are a lot of reasons for which a piece is successful (including the fact that it's very popular and people listen to it very often in tv/radio/commercials/etc, and sometimes this results in a song that can become enjoyable even by those that originally didn't like it).
But, generally, it's not because the song was sung exactly in the way it was performed in the record as opposed to different ways. It just became successful (possibly also because it was sung in that way), but singing/playing it with a different interpretation doesn't mean that it's less "powerful" or enjoyable, or that they don't consider the aspects that made that song successsful.
On the contrary, there's music for which the live version is sometimes more popular than the original studio recording.
I was going to write this in comments, but I realized that the reply was going to be too extensive.
There are two main meanings for "off-beat": the common meaning, usually applied to syncopation, is when notes (or accents) are not following the strong accents of the bar (playing 2 and 4 in 4/4). Then there's what happens if the rhythm is completely off (incoherent) with the standard mathematical subdivisions, and it's generally the case of unexperienced (or just bad) musicians that are not able to follow tempo.
What you're referring to is not strictly off-beat, but one of the following: rithmic (and melodic) variations on the "original" you're used to, or phrasing, which is something that is more "slightly outside the time grid" than actual "off-beat" in musical terms.
The first is just the liberty of the performer, who can decide to slightly change something to their own taste (as said, we don't like to do the exactly same thing every single time) without completely change the core aspects of the piece. You may not like it, but it's part of the very nature of music, which is not a fixed sum of dots and lines on paper, nor its mechanical reproduction.
Phrasing is even more fascinating, and is a very broad aspect that relies on interpretation and perception of time, and is closely linked to "humanization".
While we're now accustomed to the concept of fixed, stable, precise tempo, human expression actually follows "waves" of tempo variations, even when playing together; that's why programmers of music software and electronic instruments spend a lot of time on "humanizing" algorithms: they make "mathematically precise" music sound more natural. In fact, even the studio versions you shared have some of these "off-beat" cases (like Diamond's at ~1.25): these are "windows" (sometimes simple notes, others entire phrases) in which the soloists have some level of freedom to stretch or expand tempo.
But don't consider this as something that is "not in tempo". Obviously there are many occurrences in which being "more in sync" is required, depending on various aspects, but music (luckily) is not always that strict. All of this is not "off-beat", it's just what music is and has always been.
If I may, I suggest you to try to overcome the feeling you have for these "different" versions: don't be "distracted" in the wrong way, as these distractions are often hints to more interesting things. There is a whole new world in every different performance, and it's usually more interesting than always listening to the same one. You already know that very well, don't you like to try something different occasionally? ;-)

For a long time, African Americans were enslaved by white people, before gaining their freedom. But slavery is present in many countries, some of which have not gained their freedom yet. Some terms associated with civil rights, and this exhibition, is slavery, racism, civil rights, liberation, freedom, and independence. All of these are associated with the process of getting a persons civil rights, and because art is a form of propaganda, are a part of this exhibition.

If they are, we have a feeling the explosion will rival anything wildfire could bring to King's Landing.
Lena Kathren Headey, popularly known by the name Lena Headey is an English actress.
No one is clear exactly when and rumors go all the way back to 2002.
But she broke up with her first child's father in 2011, and got with her current partner in late 2014, and this rumor broke in March of 2014.
(There's even a rumor it's in their contracts that the show has to.) The problem is that Lena Headey, as Cersei, is irreplaceable, while by Season 4, Bronn was such a fan favorite that recasting him was unthinkable.
But with Season 5 coming up, Bronn was supposed to marry Lollys Stokeworth and move into the Red Keep, where his money focused and road warrior mentality would cause him to quietly take power from most of Cersei's underlings without her noticing. So instead, they took Bronn and sent him to Dorne with Jaime instead.
Her role as Sarah Connor in Fox's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is also considered her successful role in the television series. The couple separated in 2011 and their divorce was finalized in December 2013. She has earned her fortune working in the entertainment industry.
For her role as Cersei Lannister, she has several Primetime Emmy Award nominations and a Golden Globe nomination.Will Bronn simply show up with the army in Winterfell and announce he told Cersei to "fook off" off screen?Or will the two finally be forced to share the screen for a scene where the hatred and bitterness isn't acting?The Game of Thrones star, Lena Headey, 45, claimed that refusing sex with film producer Harvey Weinstein, whom she had accused of sexual harassment earlier in 2017, had hurt her career for 10 years. In 1993, she appeared in a small role in the critically acclaimed film, The Remains of the Day. She then appeared in the 1999 drama, Onegin.2000 romantic comedy film, Aberdeen was one of the successful films that won her the Silver Iris Award for Best Actress at the 2001 Brussels European Film Festivals.In a recent interview with Sunday Times, she stated that refusing sex with him impacted her career negatively. In 1994, she played the role of Kitty Brydon, the childhood friend and romantic interest of Mowgli in The Jungle Book. She later appeared in The Parole Officer, Possession, Ripley's Game, and The Actors.

But one character decided to take off before the party started: Bronn. This has actually been something that's been known since 2014, just before Season 4 aired when The Telegraph first reported it.

PRINCETON — At Princeton University, two exhibitions delve into the life and work of Toni Morrison, a professor from 1989 until she stepped into an emeritus role in 2006. When Morrison died in 2019, the school acquired her vast trove of archival materials: typewritten drafts, maps, letters, notes, and research fragments that speak to Morrison’s process as a writer and the relationships she cultivated throughout her career. Now, Princeton’s Firestone Library is exhibiting around 100 of those documents.
Across the street at a small exhibition space of the Princeton University Art Museum called Art@Bainbridge, curator Mitra Abbaspour takes a different approach to Morrison’s archive, setting them in dialogue with Alison Saar’s paintings, prints, and sculptures. Cycle of Creativity: Alison Saar and the Toni Morrison Papers is on view through July 9.
Morrison and Saar both center the experiences of Black women throughout their bodies of work, but Abbaspour has parsed through Morrison’s papers to create more specific thematic connections — exhibiting Morrison’s thoughts on music alongside Saar’s depictions of musicians, for example, and pairing the author’s research on slavery with the artist’s depictions of enslaved people.
As Morrison and Saar reflect on the same topic simultaneously, the show uses one form of art to develop the other. This idea highlights a vital piece of Morrison’s work — the interrogation of storytelling itself. In the exhibition’s first room, a draft of Morrison’s 1993 Nobel Prize acceptance speech questions the meaning of language and what it means to be a writer.
“The vitality of language lies in its ability to limn the actual, imagined and possible lives of its speakers, readers, writers,” Morrison writes. “Although its poise is sometimes in displacing experience it is not a substitute for it. It arcs toward the place where meaning may lie.” The text accompanies a maquette of Saar’s Harlem sculpture of Harriet Tubman, the first public monument to a Black American woman in New York City. “Swing Low” (2007) interrogates what it means to tell Tubman’s story. How have centuries of lore changed Tubman as a historical figure, and how have tales passed down across generations spoken to something larger than the singular life of Harriet Tubman?
Abbaspour told Hyperallergic that she hopes visitors will walk away from the show with an understanding of Morrison’s archive “not as a study as a past” but as a source for new creative expressions, a concept she says carries through to how Saar and Morrison engage with historical subjects.
Even though Saar largely depicts figures from the past, she created most of the show’s sculptures, prints, and paintings in the last five years. Morrison’s work also feels strikingly contemporary. Her 40-year-old reflections do not come across as dated and the ideas she pens are still relevant.
Morrison’s manuscripts and drafts are displayed in raised glass cases. Near the front of the exhibition, Saar’s “Torch Song” (2020) stands in the center of a small room near an old-fashioned fireplace. The sculpted depiction of a jazz singer is wrapped in decorated tin, creating the appearance of fabric. Saar found the metal, which used to line the ceilings of Harlem homes, in the 1980s when apartments in the neighborhood were being renovated and the old material was brought out onto the streets. In addition to reflecting on the process of gentrification, the tin evokes the lives — and stories — that played out underneath it.
The Art@Bainbridge building, an old colonial home built in 1766, is a small outpost of Princeton’s general art museum that has seen multiple iterations over the last three centuries. Enslaved individuals once worked in the house and lived on its property. The building is carefully renovated but retains slanting pinewood floors, fireplaces, old trim, and a colonial exterior, constant reminders of its past. The work exhibited inside does not shy away from this history.
In the back, a gallery space showcases the research material Morrison used to develop Beloved (1987), her most famous novel and one which directly addresses the legacy of slavery. In this room, three Saar works all feature Black women and girls with cotton tied into their hair. In “White Guise” (2019), the artist has crafted a thin backing for her print. Its floral decals, which are actually cotton plants, make the material look like wallpaper. The life-size depiction of the enslaved woman working in a domestic space, holding a clothing iron, is jarring in the colonial room, which was perhaps once lined with wallpaper, too.
In another space, Saar has curated a soundtrack of Black women singers that plays over the gallery’s speakers, joined by works featuring musicians and dancers. Morrison’s accompanying papers explore the power of music and include lyrics of her own. The display case includes a 1993 letter to composer André Previn and poems that Morrison wrote for her musical collaboration with Previn, Honey and Rue (1992).
“First I’ll try love,” Morrison writes in one poem, “Although I’ve never heard the word referred to even whispered to me.”
A copy of Morrison’s 1974 New York Times Magazine story “Rediscovering Black History: It’s Like Growing Up Black One More Time” is displayed above the poems. Morrison questions how Black history is discussed and ponders the ways it can be remembered.
“Finally, in this long trek through 300 years of black life, there was joy, which is what I mostly remember,” she writes, going on to comment on the importance of music — dancing, togetherness, tunes, and lyrics — in this history. On the gallery’s walls, Saar’s collection of vibrant prints portrays community spaces in Harlem, all involving music in some form and speaking to Morrison’s written ideas about remembering. Just like in the room featuring depictions of enslaved women, it seems that the work of Morrison and Saar was made for each other, filling in the gaps between writing and visual art.

State senator urges calm ahead of video release showing Charleston Co. inmate’s death
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WCSC) - A state senator asked the public to be patient and wait for facts to come to light ahead of the expected release of a video that may show what led to the death of a Charleston County jail inmate.
Sen. Marlon Kimpson, D-Charleston, said he expects the video from inside the jail showing the death of Jamal Sutherland to be released soon. Sutherland died while in custody on Jan. 5.
When the video is released, he said, people across the country will be calling for the same answers his family has been searching for since he was killed in January.
“Unfortunately, I believe that the coming days will give the public a grim, heartbreaking look into Mr. Sutherland’s final moments,” Kimpson said Thursday.
He said he has not seen the video himself but said he had discussions with people who have “firsthand knowledge” of its contents.
“At this point, I would simply ask that the public, be patient, as the videotape, as my understanding will be soon released, and asked for patience as all of the facts unfold,” he said. “And I would also ask law enforcement and political leaders and the public at large to understand the deep frustrations these situations calls in communities of people who always believe that they are beaten battered, and even killed at times, for no justifiable reason. Clearly, there must be accountability and systematic policy changes to address this issue.”
Kimpson said we should begin with the premise that mental illness, in and of itself, is not a crime “and certainly not deserving of death.”
“At minimum, when law enforcement is involved, they must be adequately trained to intervene in such situations,” he said. “I know of very, very few circumstances where a mentally ill person restrained and behind bars should result in the death of hands by the hands of law enforcement while in custody.”
Sutherland died at approximately 10:30 a.m. on Jan. 5, Charleston County Coroner Bobbi Jo O’Neal said. She said an autopsy determined the cause of death as “excited state with adverse pharmacotherapeutic effect during subdual process,” and the manner of death is currently “undetermined.”
The investigation into Sutherland’s death remains open and is still active, O’Neal said.
His death came hours after North Charleston Police transported him from Palmetto Lowcountry Behavioral Health Center to the Al Cannon Detention Center.

Police responded to the facility after staff members called 911 on the night of Jan. 4 to report “a large-scale fight had erupted between patients and staff and that staff urgently needed help from law enforcement,” North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey said.
Summey released a video Wednesday that included audio clips from the 911 call and body cam footage from North Charleston Police officers showing them taking Sutherland into custody. Body cam footage ends as Sutherland is being escorted with a nurse into the Al Cannon Detention Center.
Summey says when North Charleston officers last had Sutherland in their sight, “he was healthy” and was being accompanied by a nurse as he went into the jail.
“It brings me sorrow to know that Jamal passed away the following day on Jan. 5, but I am relieved that video and audio exists to let us see the respect and patience that North Charleston Police Officers displayed that night,” Summey said. “While Jamal’s family continues to grieve his passing, I hope our recordings of the interaction gives the family and the community confidence in the way we conducted ourselves.”
The Charleston County Sheriff’s Office has not as yet released footage from inside the jail.
Charleston County Sheriff Kristin Graziano said Tuesday those recordings had not yet been released for several reasons, “including deference to the Sutherland family.”
“Presently, the family is not ready for the public to see the recordings of the death of their loved one, and I am honoring their wishes,” Graziano said in the statement. “I support releasing the video to the public when the time is appropriate.”
The sheriff also cited several ongoing investigations, both internal and external.
“I must respect the integrity of those investigations to ensure justice is served for both the Sutherland family as well as for our detention officers,” Graziano said. “Because I do not have all of the answers, I plan to be as helpful as possible with the investigations and continue to stay in contact with the family.”
Ninth Circuit Solicitor Scarlett Wilson said her investigation, based on a report from the State Law Enforcement Division, found that he became unresponsive and died after Charleston County deputies in the jail worked to forcibly remove him from his jail cell so that he could attend a bond hearing for a misdemeanor assault charge.
Pathologist J.C. Upshaw Downs ruled the manner of Sutherland’s death as “undetermined,” but said he died “as a result of excited state with pharmacotherapeutic effect during subdual process,” according to a release from Wilson’s office.
Downs also stated his review of the way deputies were forcing Sutherland out of his jail cell did not reveal “any unusual or excessive interactions or areas of direct concern,” the release states.
“In order for the state to hold someone criminally responsible for another’s death, the state must prove unlawful conduct was the proximate cause of death,” Wilson said in a statement explaining why her office had not yet issued charges in Sutherland’s death.
The Charleston County Sheriff’s Office said Detention Sgt. Lindsay Fickett and Detention Deputy Brian Houle were placed on paid administrative leave after Sutherland died.
Graziano said Tuesday that Fickett and Houle were placed on leave “for several weeks” after Sutherland’s death and have since been re-assigned “per policy to administrative duties.”

Historical Context of Switzerland
Perhaps the most significant Swiss contribution to the history of Modernism was the formation of the Dada movement in Zurich in 1916. Its founding members included Hugo Ball, Tristan Tzara, Jean Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Emmy Hennings, and Marcel Janco. Their headquarters, the Cabaret Voltaire, quickly metamorphosed into an important hub of the artistic and intellectual avant-garde, with the political neutrality Switzerland being a refuge from political instability elsewhere in Europe. precedingly, Switzerland had originated some quirky and distinctive artists in the Post-Impressionist period of the early twentieth century, including Ferdinand Hodler and Felix Vallotton. Another key movement that can be connected to a Swiss artist was the ‘International Style’ of modernist architecture, pioneered by Le Corbusier. Le Corbusier might have become a French citizen in 1930, but he was born Charles-Édouard Jeanneret in the Neuchâtel canton of Switzerland in 1887. Indeed, his first independent projects were executed in his hometown of La Chaux-de-Fonds, including proto modern domestic villas for affluent local clients. Key Swiss artists of the twentieth century include Jean Tingely, Alberto Giacometti, John Armleder, Pipilotti Rist and Thomas Hirschhorn.
Further Biographical Context for Ugo Rondinone
Ugo Rondinone was born in 1964 and was largely inspired by the 1980s. The 1980s were an era of growing global capitalism, political upheaval, worldwide mass media, wealth discrepancies and distinctive music and fashion, characterised by hip hop and electronic pop music. This had a heavy impact on the generation of artists growing up during this decade. The fall of the Berlin Wall at the end of the decade marked the end of the Cold War, yet the era was also marked by the African Famine. During this time prominent art movements included Neo Geo, The Pictures Generation and Neo-Expressionism, which took a strong hold in Germany, France and Italy. Artists such as Anselm Kiefer, Jörg Immendorf, Enzo Cucchi, Francesco Clemente and Julian Schnabel were primary artists working during this period, alongside Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Kenny Scharf, who established the street art and graffiti movements, which quickly gained recognition.

Two Republican Senate Finance Committee members have called on the White House to reject a proposal from New York health officials that would expand the states childrens health insurance program to cover families with annual incomes as high as $82,600 for a family of four.
In a letter sent to HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt, Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Pat Roberts of Kansas said that New Yorks proposal is in direct conflict with the legislative language and congressional intent of the State Childrens Health Insurance Program, or SCHIP.
In May, New York health officials submitted a proposal to HHS that would effectively allow children in families that make up to four times the federal poverty level, roughly $20,650 for a family of four, to be covered under its SCHIP plan. As is, the states Medicaid eligibility is currently 200% of the poverty level, or about $41,300.
In light of the above, we would appreciate learning why this administration would feel compelled to approve any state plan amendment when the law and legislative history all support the argument that SCHIP is intended for lower income children, the letter asks.
Both the House and the Senate have passed bills that would reauthorize the SCHIP program, which expires at the end of September. -- by Matthew DoBias

Xiaomi’s MI TV 5 will launch in China on November 5 along with some other products. The TV claims to have 108% of the NTSC color gamut. The TV comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage.
Xiaomi is set to launch the new Mi TV 5 in China on November 5 2019. The TV is launching in China and there is no information on whether it is coming to India. The TV has a resolution of 4K and will support HDR 10+. The TV has Quantum Dot backlighting, which is likely a Samsung panel since Samsung are the biggest players in the QLED TV market. Xiaomi has said that the TV will cover 108% of the NTSC colour gamut.
Coming to the specifications under the hood, the Mi TV 5 is powered by a 12 nanometer T972 SoC, which is reportedly developed by Amlogic. The SoC has a 1.9GHz clock speed with 4 A55 cores. The new chipset is set to deliver a 63 per cent performance improvement over the previous-gen chip. The chip is also said to support 8K video playback. 8K video playback on a 4K TV might seem outrageous to some, but know that playing back higher resolution content with technologies like supersampling could lead to a crisper image on the TV. The TV has 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, which is a lot when compared to the specs on offer on most budget and mid-range Android TVs.
The TV will undoubtedly run on Xiaomi’s PatchWall UI which places content above streaming services and givers users a smooth UI. The TV will also support MEMC (Motion Estimation and Motion Compensation) for smoother motion on the Mi TV 5. There is no information on the screen size or Indian launch date and price of the TV. When it comes to QLED TVs in India, Samsung, TCL, iFFALCON and more have been selling QLED TVs in the market for quite some time now.
In India, Xiaomi has TVs ranging from 32-inch screen sizes all the way to a 65-inch screen size. The TVs run on the Android TV platform and gives users the option of using Xiaomi’s own PatchWall UI or Stock Android TV UI. Support for streaming apps like Netflix and Prime Videos are also available on Xiaomi’s TV's in India. As per Xiaomi’s website, customers have 10 models to choose from in different screen sizes.
Coming back to the November 5 event, Xiaomi is expected to announce a bunch of other devices apart from TV. This includes the Xiaomi Watch and Mi CC 9 Pro smartphone. We wouldn’t be surprised if Xiaomi has a “one more device” to reveal at the event.

Australia's top spy agency will almost double its staff over the next five years to fight the threat of terror attacks, Prime Minister John Howard said Sunday.
The Australian Security Intelligence Organization will boost its numbers from 980 to 1,860 by 2010, Howard told reporters in Sydney.
The move recommended by an independent report on intelligence staffing commissioned by the government follows the deadly July public transport bombings in London.
There has never been a major terrorist attack on Australian soil, but analysts believe Howard's strong support for the U.S.-led campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan make the country a target.

Italian cops are hunting the American eBay trader who's selling a priceless brick, believed stolen from the ancient city of Pompeii, for just $99.
Police in Naples want to speak to the person from Lobelville, Tennessee, who is auctioning off a stone taken from the world famous archaeological site in the 1950s.
The listing, which includes four photographs, caught the attention of archeologists — who contacted the authorities, reports The Local.
No offers have yet been made, but buyers have until Thursday to make a bid.
La Repubblica newspaper, however, has speculated that the auction could be a scam.
Described as a "real brick from Pompeii," the seller said their mom had taken the relic during an Italian vacation in 1958.
"My parents travelled a lot, and when they were in Pompeii, she couldn't leave there without a brick," wrote username Zmdubois.
"This brick is authentic, there's no doubt. I have no use for it, so now you can have it for your collection. You won't find too many of these on eBay," they added.
The Roman city of Pompeii was wiped out by the eruption of the Mount Vesuvius volcano in 79 A.D. The ash and rock, however, helped preserve many building in their almost original state.

Among the film's stars: David Strathairn in the role of William J. Flynn, the Anarchist expert whose job it is to find saboteurs during the summer of 1919, and Ray Wise in the role of Alexander Palmer, the anti-Communist U.S. Attorney General at the time.
Festival director Alan Inkles called the film "a beautifully produced feature with an outstanding ensemble of actors."
“We are delighted to open the Stony Brook Film Festival with No God No Master," Inkles said.

Sudan’s dramatists renew objection to sale of Kassala theatre
The dramatists’ union in Kassala has renewed its objection to the decision to sell Tajoj theatre in Kassala city at an auction on Monday. The Commissioner of Kassala justified the decision by branding the establishment ‘an evil den’.
Kassala Commissioner, Mutasim Osman, has earlier attributed the decision of selling Tajoj theatre that has turned to what he called “an evil den”.
The Commissioner SAYS THAT an alternative Kassala National Theatre will be built to accommodate about 1,350 people in a period not exceeding eight months at a cost of SDG 180 million ($28 million) in preparation for schools competitions.
He said the new theatre will be built from money of the sale of Tajoj theatre.
Haroun Mirghani, the head of the dramatists’ union in Kassala, says that “the promises of the state government to build a new theatre as drugging the dramatists and citizens by trying to appease their anger”.
Mirghani has strongly refuted Commissioner Mutasim Osman’s claim that there were any untoward practices at Tajoj theatre, and challenged the Commissioner to prove his claim.
He says their insistence on the current location of Tajoj theatre is based on its nearness to the transportation station that connects 18 districts of the city.
Mirghani praised the broad solidarity of theatricals and dramatists across Sudan and their categorical rejection of the sale of Tajoj theatre which is considered cultural heritage that should be preserved.

The National Internship Scheme announced by the Minister for Social Protection today fails to harness the full potential of the voluntary sector, according to Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Social Protection Barry Cowen.
Deputy Cowen said: “There are two rules in Minister Burton’s scheme that will exclude many of the 23,000 voluntary organisations at the heart of communities around the country.
“The organisations involved in the scheme must already have staff who are on their own payroll in full. Therefore those with only voluntary staff or staff recruited through community employment schemes are not be eligible. This rules out thousands of community groups like GAA clubs or local charities, who are likely to benefit most from a scheme like this.
“On top of this, participating organisations must also be legal entities, for example a Limited Company, and not sole traders. Again this is a barrier for the community and voluntary sector as well as many small businesses who also don’t qualify under these rules.
“Minister Burton has failed to maximise on the full potential of the internship programme. Her initiative provides participants with €50 a week, instead of the €100 provided under the scheme announced by the previous Government in December’s budget. She has also reduced the maximum duration of the scheme from 12 months to 9 months.
“I welcome any measure aimed at tackling unemployment and providing people will the valuable skills they need to get into the jobs market. There is no doubt that internship programmes like this can be win-win opportunities for both employers and job-seekers, and have wider benefits for the community. However I am concerned that Minister Burton has not gone far enough with this initiative and has missed a valuable opportunity.” concluded Deputy Cowen.

Jeddah mayor Adel Fakieh has revealed that officials are planning to build a metro train network in the Saudi city.
The plan, being put together by the Jeddah municipality and the Ministry of Transport, will take 15 months to complete, officials revealed at a meeting on Tuesday.
A preliminary study into the 108km-long network has already been completed, said Abdul Aziz Al-Ouhali, undersecretary of the Ministry of Transport, reported by Arab News.
The first track will run from Old Makkah Road to downtown, before finishing at Sari Road, the paper reports. The second track will run along Prince Majed Street from King Abdul Aziz International Airport, while the third will run along Palestine Road.
Al-Ouhali said that as part of the second phase of the project, tracks would be laid along King Abdul Aziz Road to the Corniche.
The Jeddah metro is part of wider plans to improve public transport across the kingdom. In November, it was announced that construction workbegan on a light-rail project for Riyadh.

10. There was a Specific Room for Kissing
Grand Central Terminal is one of the most romantic places in New York City, but when the station was first built, public displays of affection were relegated to a special room. In a New York Times article from 1913 that describes how the newly opened terminal building solved many problems of existing train stations, the writer notes that “indignant handlers of the baggage trucks would swear that their paths were forever being block by leisurely demonstrations of affection.”
Secrets of Grand Central
The new “Kissing Galleries,” or “Romeo and Juliet” rooms as some people called them, provided a space away from the hustle and bustle where lovers could reunite, and get out of the way. These galleries, the paper notes, offered “exceptional vantage points for recognition, hailing, and the subsequent embrace.” One of these kissing rooms was located beneath the site of the former Biltmore Hotel in an area of Grand Central that came to be called the Biltmore Room. This room was blocked off due to construction on the East Side Access project but is now open to the public. Inside, you’ll find a remnant of Grand Central Terminal’s past.

Sociality is associated with increased risks of parasitism, predation, and social competition, which may interact because social stress can reduce immunity, and parasitized individuals are more likely to fall prey to a predator. A mechanism allowing evolution of sociality in spite of high costs of parasitism is increased investment in antiparasite defenses. Here we show that the impact of parasites on host reproductive success was positively associated with the degree of sociality in the bird family Hirundinidae. However, the cost of parasitism in highly colonial species was countered by high levels of T- and B-cell immune responses. Investment in immune function among colonial species was particularly strong in nestlings, and among social species, this investment was associated with a relatively prolonged period of development, thereby leading to extended exposure to parasites. Thus, highly social species such as certain species of swallows and martins may cope with strong natural selection arising from parasites by heavy investment in immune function at the cost of a long exposure to nest parasites.

1960 Maserati 50/T2/SS
1960 Maserati 50/T2/SS

- Registration: 7102 MP

VIEWING BY APPOINTMENT ONLY PLEASE.
- This very rare and beautiful Maserati motorcycle has apparently had only six owners from new. The fifth owner was kind enough to document the ownership and history of the motorcycle just before they sold it in 2007 after twenty six years of it sharing garage space with their Maserati road cars.
- According to the original buff registration document on file, the Maserati was first registered in England on February 2nd 1961 with the licence number 7102-MP. The first owner is shown as J. Austin & Sons Limited of 139-153 High Street, Harlesden, London NW10. It is expected that this company was a car and motorcycle dealer.
- As Maserati motorcycles ceased to be manufactured in 1960, this 50 SS must be one of the very last examples to be made.
- The second owner was a Colin Jux who resided in Rucklidge Avenue, a road that runs parallel to the High Street in Harlesden. Unfortunately Mr Jux failed to register the change of ownership with the local taxation office so no date was recorded for when he acquired the motorcycle.
- The same occurred when the Maserati was acquired by a Kathleen Thirkettle. Miss Thirkettle’s family owned North End Garage which was situated on the A12 near the village of Darsham, in Suffolk.
- The forth owner, a D. Southall from Martlesham, Suffolk, sadly failed to make any notes of their ownership of the motorcycle. When the fifth owner acquired the motorcycle from the forth owners widow in around 1981, he was told that the Maserati had been on display in a museum for about ten years, and during this time some restorative works had been carried out on it.
- Italian law dictated that 50cc motorcycles of this age required pedals as they were licensed as bicycles, and indeed, the majority of 50 SS motorcycles that we have seen have either had their pedals attached, or simply removed. It is thought that during the 1970’s restorative works, this 50 SS had its pedals removed and the holes in the side of the engine casings expertly welded closed.
- Having remained almost untouched in the corner of the fifth owner’s garage during his ownership, he decided to exhibit it on his TetraBOOST company stand at the 2007 Race Retro show at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire. To prepare the motorcycle for its public outing, the red items of the motorcycle were repainted, a new wiring loom was installed, the seat was recovered with lovely navy blue leather, and some chrome parts were re-plated. In addition to these works, the engine and gearbox were inspected for wear (they were not totally stripped). With the lack of wear found to the engine and such items as the foot rests, and that the motorcycle was only licensed for the first two years of its life, it is expected that the speedometer reading of 3,849 miles is the total distance that the Maserati has covered since new.
- The motorcycle was sold shortly after the Race Retro show to a Gentleman who displayed it alongside a very early 1953 Maserati 160. The Maserati remained in his enormous motorcycle collection for nearly seven years until we acquired it.
- This a very rare opportunity to purchase a very rare motorcycle, one that is in excellent condition (with the exception of a few small scratches on the frame). It would make a fabulous addition to a Maserati car collection, especially in the marques centenary year.
A brief history of Maserati motorcycles:
- The sight of a Maserati badge on a classic motorcycle often surprises people, even those most familiar to the exotic Italian marque.
- Wealthy industrialist Adolfo Orsi from Modena purchased the ailing Maserati company from its founding brothers in 1937, and by then Maserati was producing spark plugs and machine tools as well as racing cars. In 1939 Adolfo relocated Maserati to Modena and expanded the company to produce batteries and bulbs too, a diversification that proved very successful during the war years. The car and parts companies were separated in 1947 and Fabbrica Candele e Accumulatori Maserati (FCAM) was formed.
- After business difficulties in 1953 Adolfo decided to divide his remaining companies amongst his siblings, resulting in Adolfo retaining the car manufacturing division and his sister Ida taking control of FCAM.
- Even FIAT cars were financially out of reach for most people after the war so motorcycles and scooters became extremely popular as relatively cheap modes of transport. Many companies diversified or were founded to produce two wheeled motorised transport and Ida Orsi wanted to be involved in this swiftly developing market, so to save money on development costs she purchased an existing company in 1953, Italmoto of Bologna. After relocating Italmoto and the production of its 160cc motorcycle to her own factory in Modena, she simply had the Italmoto badges replaced with Maserati ones and launched the model as the L160/T4. The four-stroke engine produced 7.5hp and had a four-speed gearbox.
- Ida then instructed the design department to come up with a whole new range of motorcycles, the first of which was launched in 1954. The new machine was a 4.8hp 123cc two-stroke (with a three-speed gearbox) known as the L125/T2 which became a successful model for the company.
- At the 1955 Milan Motorcycle Fair Maserati displayed not only their two-stroke 125 and four-stroke 160 machines, but also 175 (175/T4/S) and 250cc (250/T4/GT) motorcycles, both of which had four-stroke engines boasting twin-spark plug ignition, plus four-speed gearboxes. The 125 and 160 were now also available in Turismo Lusso specification.
- In 1956 a range of two-stroke 50cc motorcycles were introduced which featured several different styles of frames suitable for men (50/T2/U and 50/T2/S), women (50/T2/D), and racing (50/T2/SS). All models had a three-speed gearbox and performance for a 50cc was fantastic, especially on the SS whose little 49.6cc engine produced 2.82hp at 6,700rpm (maximum revs being 7,300rpm). A weight of only 49kg resulted in a top speed of 70 to 75kph. Less sporting but a lot more practical however, was the 50/T2/MT which was a three-wheeled pick-up style machine featuring a 2hp engine and three-speed gearbox.
- 1956 also saw the launch of the L/125/TV (Turismo Veloce) which sported a higher state of tune (6hp) than the regular 125 but importantly had a 4-speed gearbox, the gears of which were notoriously fragile due to the factory squeezing a fourth gear within the standard three-speed engine casings.
- Having learnt some lessons with the TV’s transmission, the 125/GT/Super (GTS) was launched in 1957 featuring a 7hp two-stroke engine but with a more robust four-speed gearbox within newly designed engine side covers.
- The L/75/T2 model was also launched in 1957 and was very similar in design to the 50/T2/U, but featured a 74cc 4.5hp two-stroke engine and a three-speed gearbox.
- Unfortunately, after 1957 the company experienced financial struggles and FCAM was finally closed in 1960. The Maserati trident would only then be seen on four wheeled vehicles, back where it all began.
- Despite being sensibly priced in their day Maserati motorcycles sold in very small numbers compared to their competitors resulting in all models being extremely rare, with some being rarer than others. Today, the 125 T2 and Turismo Lusso variants are the most common with the 160 not far behind. The 125 TV and GTS models appear extremely rarely and all 50cc and 75cc models are very rare. It is believed that despite adverts appearing at the time launching the 175 model it never progressed from prototype stage and as far as the 250 is concerned, only about twenty are thought to have ever been made.

PHOTOGRAPHY BY MARLEY MORGAN FROM BAREFOOT WANDERING PHOTOGRAPHY
WORDS BY SANCIA RIDGEWAY
“For too long we have been the subject and not the creator.”
Fashion Journal is proud to continue an ongoing partnership with First Nations Fashion and Design aimed at highlighting and amplifying First Nations voices, talent, culture and stories across the industry. Fashion Journal acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first Australians and traditional custodians of the lands on which we live, learn and work. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
For too long, First Nations Australians have been denied the chance to tell their stories in their own way. While this is an issue that permeates every area of society, one such area is the realm of photography. It’s an industry that’s historically been dominated by White people, and when you never get the chance to be behind the lens, you never get to capture your communities and experiences in a way that feels authentic and true.
But a new organisation is seeking to change that. Blak Lens is a collective of Indigenous photographers founded by First Nations photographer Michael Jalaru Torres. These photographers have joined forces in order to support and amplify each other, with the long term aim of building a professional and cultural network that will change people’s perceptions of First Nations Australians.
Looking for more thought-provoking reads? Try our Life section.
In Michael’s words, each Blak Lens photographer has “their own zest and flair and they want to be able to share their particular style and unique perspective”. Below, Michael shares his vision for Blak Lens and explains why it’s an important (and long overdue) development.
What has it been like creating an all Indigenous photography collective like Blak Lens?
I feel very honoured. I had to push for this and I’ve got the drive to do this but I also feel that it is a big responsibility. It is a responsibility because us as Blak mob don’t get the opportunity to be a part of the photography industry in the same way. So we had to create it ourselves.
This kind of collective has been tried in the past and I gazed on what didn’t work. There were growing pains in the first six months. But we’ve come to a point where one person’s success is success for the group. I am very proud.
What is your role in Blak Lens?
I am the founder of the group. I am the head of the group and look at the big picture stuff. I am a photographer but I am also kind of like the driving force and mentor to the emerging photographers.
I try to go to all types of industries and sell the idea of Blak Lens to them. I try to create pathways for the emerging photographers and I also open up and try to share this with the younger generations.
Why did you start Blak Lens?
I began photography in Broome, which is a remote region. In a place like that, you have to learn the craft yourself, teach yourself. I went to Melbourne to pursue photography but I found that there were many opportunities and funding for fashion and art but not a lot for photography and really it was quite similar to back in Broome.
I thought ‘I’ve got to do something for the young mob coming through’. I didn’t just want success in Melbourne for just myself. I want others to rise up as I rise up. I want to support others while I’m young and have the drive.
When I get a photography opportunity I always ask “Can I get a young person on this?” so that they too can get that opportunity. More Blak photographers makes us stronger. I want Blak photographers capturing [the] majority of Blak spaces, capturing our own events and achievements.
What was the process of starting Blak Lens like?
The first six months was slow at the beginning. I reached out to the photographers individually through Instagram and I was picky. We created social media accounts and as we grew we added more people to the group. Now we’re at a stage where we are sharing in each other’s success.
Why is it important to have Indigenous photographers seen and included in the art and photography world?
For a long period of time, Blak people were seen as something to be studied and this is seen in the photography [of the time]. These photographers would come into the communities and take photographs and the people in the community didn’t know where those images would be going and what would be done with them. In modern times the mainstream media often paints Aboriginal people in a negative light.
We are fighting back against this through photography. We as photographers are taking a snapshot of our people and communities through our eyes. For too long we have been the subject and not the creator.
What is your long term vision for Blak Lens?
To establish our photographers in the industry and to train and upskill any emerging Blak photographers. We would love to have something like a festival to award Blak photographers. Blak artists are still not given the light. We want to be part of the solution. I just want to lead Blak photographers into an industry that is in a better place than when I began.

Several arrested in family brawl at Slidell restaurant
SLIDELL, La. – A weekend brawl between two families at a Slidell restaurant has led to nine people being arrested.
It happened around 8 p.m. Sunday outside Cheddar's Casual Cafe, Slidell Police Det. Daniel Seuzeneau said Monday in a news release.
Members of one family — who were waiting for a table — allegedly made degrading comments about members of another family leaving the restaurant. Police said the two families didn't know each other.
A verbal fight quickly turned physical.
At some point Shawn Sorrell, 32, of New Orleans, pulled a stun gun and shocked two people her family was fighting. She then retrieved a .380 caliber handgun and fired one round into the crowd.
A bystander, who was trying to break up the fight, was grazed in the leg. No one was directly hit, but several people were treated and released from area hospitals, Seuzeneau said.
"Based off witness statements, it was apparent that Ms. Sorrell, who is now facing attempted first-degree murder charges, was aiming for the crowd," he said.
Sorrell was booked with five counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated battery and disturbing the peace by fighting. Bond was set at $400,000, Seuzeneau said.
When Slidell Police arrived, one officer was attacked while trying to arrest one of the fighting suspects, as other officers chased suspects fleeing from the scene. "When everything was finally under control, nine people were arrested, and more arrests are expected to be made," Seuzeneau said.
Others arrested include:
• Harry Sorrell, 46, of Slidell, on second-degree battery.
• Barry Sorrell, 42, of New Orleans, on disturbing the peace by fighting
• a 16-year-old girl, of New Orleans, on disturbing the peace by fighting
• Dionne Garrett, 35, of Slidell, disturbing the peace by fighting
• Tanya Garrett, 37, of Slidell, disturbing the peace by fighting
• Emanuel Terrell, 20, of Slidell, disturbing the peace by fighting
• Lawrence Harvey, 20, of Slidell, disturbing the peace by fighting, interfering with a law enforcement investigation, and resisting an officer with violence
• Leonard Harvey Jr., 22, of Slidell, disturbing the peace by fighting and interfering with a law enforcement investigation.
Their bond information was not immediately available, Seuzeneau said.
It was not known if any of those arrested had attorneys.
"This is an unfortunate incident, and we're lucky no one was killed," Chief Randy Smith said. "Things obviously quickly escalated out of control, and it took every available officer to restore order. As you can see by the arrests that were made, we are not going to tolerate this kind of behavior in our city."

Apple is now the most expensive publicly traded company in the world
Apple is now the world’s most expensive public trading company, surpassing Saudi Arabia’s state-owned Aramco. Apple’s market value is $ 1.84 trillion and Saudi Aramko’s $ 1.76 trillion after the close of business on Friday. according to CNBC. Shares of Apple, which were mostly stable in late March, closed more than 10 percent on Friday, following the company’s third-quarter earnings on Thursday, ending the day at $ 425.04.
Apple’s total revenue in Q3 amounted to 59.7 billion dollars, an increase of 11% over the previous year. Sales of the Mac’s iPad were strong, the company probably noticed a high demand for the devices, while people found shelter on the spot due to the COVID-19 epidemic. Apple also announced a four-to-one stock split as part of its third-quarter earnings, which will be lower the price individual stock.
Yesterday Amazon, Facebook և Google announced earnings, և mostly they had pretty good quarters. Amazon doubled its profits during the epidemic. Facebook has seen daily user growth of 12 percent year-over-year to 1.79 billion. And combined, the four companies made a net profit of $ 28.6 billion. As my colleague Liz Lopato said, tech companies are invading it during the epidemic.

Pre-glued Tire Set - 1/10 Quanum Vandal XL 4WD Racing Buggy (2pcs)
Roue cassée après avoir roulé moins de 50 mètres.
Très fragile, le plastique est cassant comme du verre.In a very first very very low speed crash against curb the plastic wheel got broken. The plastic is the typical low quality of cheap chinese toy for children, unflexible and very fragile. Piece of CRAP!The tires are good, but the wheels.... not. I brake them each time I use my car. The tires are really well glued (too much) and it's really difficult to get it off the wheels, even with boiled water or aceton etc.... keep this wheels for carpet or plane road... ;)These wheels suck. The plastic is really unflexible and too hard and brittle and mine broke one spoke off on the first run while driving around on the street, hence damaging my car on the crash after the wheel flew away and the car turned/plunged.
Wrote to the support and did not hear from them because I needed to send the wheels back for inspection. But they are cheaper than the shipping fees from germany to HK - useless. Should have considered that before ordering. They look good though, but now I have three useless wheels. I can not recommend these wheels for even onroad-use because the rim has too little strength on the hex connection.
Please HK dont sell this crap - use more flexible plastic or reinforce the area around the hex where the wheels will break definitely.
Very well glued and ok foam.
reacts to threadlocker (HK-171) weakening the plastic.
loves the mud
