Consultant report reveals long-running department dysfunction and mismanagement
Walkable Jenkintown has obtained via a Right-to-Know request a copy of the audit conducted on the Jenkintown Police Department. This heavily redacted report reveals a police department afflicted with ongoing morale, organizational, and financial problems going back at least five years.
The Borough was ordered to release the report to the public by Montgomery County Judge Jeffrey Saltz after he denied its attempt to block a Right-to-Know request by Jenkintown Police Officer Edward Titterton.
Download the report from W.R. Smeal here.
The audit was conducted by W.R. Smeal Consulting at the request of Borough Council in early 2020 to assist George Locke and the mayor in their search for a new police chief in anticipation of Chief Albert DiValentino’s retirement, which was announced just last week.
The 75-page report examined the ongoing police operations between 2014 and 2019. Unfortunately, the Borough redacted almost all of Smeal’s findings and recommendations, but the audit clearly paints a picture of long-running departmental dysfunction and lax financial accountability.
- In the five-year span of the report, the budget for the general budget has increased by only 0.02% while the police budget has increased by 23%. However, the report determined that some police costs were inappropriately folded into the general budget, otherwise the general budget would have actually decreased.
- In 2019, the department went over budget by $460,000, or 26.72%.
- The department budget does not have a line-item for “event overtime”.
Record Keeping and Policy
Smeal gives low marks for the department’s record keeping, this despite its accreditation by the Pennsylvania Chief of Police Association.
According to the report:
There are many areas of policing that require policy. [Redaction] For example, when asked about Job Descriptions, many members were unaware whether or not they existed. However, the Chief advised they did and provided copies. [Redaction] Other areas would include, but not be limited to: Duty Schedule, Vacations, Other excusals, Overtime, Other Compensation and Court Appearances, Headquarters Security, Uniforms, Records Destruction, Automated Data Based Information Systems, Performance Evaluation, Report Writing, etc. are among the needed topics.
- The report also mentions that the department has been resisting the implementation of a more modern, computerized record keeping system.
- The Department does not have a policy manual for record keeping and no support staff to handle duties associated with this task.
Jenkintown’s K-9 unit has recently generated controversy over control and care of the dogs and a since-dismissed civil rights lawsuit brought against the Department and Borough by Officer Titterton. The audit addresses some of this in great detail. Among other concerns, it states:
On January 19, 2020, a K-9 officer while on vacation received a call from Upper Southampton Police department requesting canine assistance for a narcotics sniff of a vehicle. The officer responded and completed the work. The next day, an overtime slip for two hours was submitted and an incident was completed. However, policy also dictates the completion of an “overtime green card” that had not been completed as of February 18, 2020”
The report calls into question the need for a K-9 in general.
“In a department the size of Jenkintown, it appears problematic to justify one K-9 unit, let alone two units. …In addition, Jenkintown is providing services at Borough expense for outside jurisdictions.”
In terms of the crime rate, either Jenkintown is either doing something right or it’s been very lucky or it’s not reporting its crimes accurately. During the five years covered by the audit, Jenkintown’s crime rate has decreased by 36%. However, Jenkintown’s clearance rate, or the crimes reported it has solved, “has dropped significantly the last two years, especially during 2019 when it was a very low 4.23%”.
Smeal discovered that the department “does not track conviction rate information” nor does it include information on the number of crimes occurring but not being investigated, arrested, prosecuted or convicted.”
Personnel and Morale
The report cites the fact that Jenkintown has 14 full-time officers and one part time serving a community of 4430 people. It compares that with other communities, such as Hatboro that also has 14 full-time officers, but for a community of 7500. Douglas Township has a population of 10,258 protected by 12 full time officers. Ambler with 6,400 people also has a force of 12.
Unfortunately, the force of 14 doesn’t spend much time or effort comparing notes about its activities, at least not officially. According to Smeal:
There is very little communication other than via the computer or when unavoidable. Indications are that there has not been a staff meeting or awards ceremony for more than a year. [Redaction] There appears to be no standing committees… to work together on any issue regardless of its importance.
The report describes the department’s personnel that has divided itself into either an “A-team” or a “B-team”, with the latter having to involve Borough staff and Council members to address complaints and grievances. Further, “the well being and morale of the Police Department has become stressful for everyone.”
The department does not subscribe to any trade journals or related publications.
Overall, the report doesn’t have a lot of good news for Jenkintown residents.
- Smeal describes an unkempt police building that “Generally speaking …is in need of attention.”
- The office has no personnel mailbox. When the Chief conveyed “Letters of Commendation” from citizens, he taped them to the officer’s locker.
- The department states that officers must have at least a high school diploma but does not put that requirement in writing.
- “Formal Line and Staff inspections are nonexistent.”
- The department could not provide evidence of job descriptions and “many members were unaware whether or not they existed.”
- The Department does not have an inventory of Borough-owned property and/or equipment.
- The Borough hopes to create a new computerized system for tracking time of all its employees, including the police, but “the police department wants no part of the time-keeping change.”
As it has in the past, Jenkintown Borough sought to keep this report under wraps, employing the services of Sean Kilkenny’s law firm costing an as-yet undetermined amount in legal fees.
A Right-to-Know request filed by Officer Edward Titterton was initially denied by the borough, which then filed a Petition for Review by the court. The Borough argued that the report is exempt from disclosure based on the RTK law that allows it to withhold “certain records relating to an agency employee” including performance reviews.
The court denied the exemption, stating that the report reflects a “one-time inquiry” and is not a detailed examination nor an official probe. The report is, according to the court, an assessment of overall departmental performance which should be a part of the public record.

Differences of opinion and divisions in Cosatu cannot be resolved through elections or by axing members, an ANC-led task team has found.
Jacqueline Phooko, the office worker with whom Zwelinzima Vavi had "brief intercourse", is suing Vavi, Cosatu and Numsa for damaging her reputation.
The teachers union snubbing Zwelinzima Vavi in favour of S'dumo Dlamini as a speaker at its congress suggests the ANC has failed to reunite Cosatu.
Unless its leaders act urgently, the federation will face a decline in membership, political clout and reputation, says Zwelinzima Vavi.
An ANC task team has pulled out all the stops in its attempts to heal the troubled trade union federation, but to no avail.
Business and labour are at loggerheards over Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa's plans to introduce a mandatory salary 'floor' for workers.
The trade union and the Creative Workers Union of SA agreed to campaign for the actors demands and ask viewers to "switch-off" from September 15.
Expelled and suspended members of the South African Democratic Teachers’ Union have resolved to form a trade union open to all public sector workers.
Suspended teacher union members insist their removal ahead of key conferences is a ploy by a Cosatu faction.
Cosatu's secretary general is still defending the union federation's shaky unity, even though plans for Numsa's break-away are already in motion.
Cosatu's Zwelinzima Vavi has told thousands of striking metalworkers that workers have no reason to celebrate 20 years of freedom.
Cosatu's Zwelinzima Vavi and opposition parties have harshly criticised Jacob Zuma's Sona, with some calling for a radical change to economic policy.
The 'rebel' union says its estranged umbrella body is looking for a scapegoat for its leadership woes.
Barely a month after the ANC intervened to broker truce within the embattled labour federation, unions have taken the Cosatu president to court.
Zwelenzima Vavi tells workers in PE to take control of their future, while in Polokwane, Zuma and the ANC take centre stage at Cosatu's massive rally.
With less than a week left to campaign, parties are scrambling to sway what appears to be a large group of undecided voters.
May Day is D-day for Zwelinzima Vavi, as Cyril Ramaphosa has issued a reminder that Cosatu must communicate the same message as the ANC.
Zwelinzima Vavi will campaign for the ANC, but his support will not be unconditional.
Tripartite alliance leaders lambasted Numsa during a march to defend the ANC called by the SACP and Cosatu.

Awards season is in full swing in Hollywood. It's a magical time of the year when artists, producers and distributors all dress up in their finery to walk red carpets and bask in the glow of recognition for their craft.
This past weekend, Tinseltown played host to an entirely different type of entertainment industry awards ceremony than those we have come to expect: the Streamy Awards. That's correct! Streamy as in streaming. I was very excited to learn that there is an entire awards program--streamed live online of course--devoted to recognizing accomplishments in the online video content world. The ceremony has enough "cred" that famous people--i.e. Larry King, Jamie Kennedy and Shontelle--attend, meanwhile winners include Hollywood heavyweights such as Tom Hanks and major brands such as Red Bull.
The celebration of original online video content a la the Streamy Awards is indicative of much broader shifts in the online content ecosystem. As this post from LA Weekly notes, online content allows artists and creators to interact with consumers in a one-to-one manner that mainstream media hasn't yet mastered--although dual-screen technology is moving the media and entertainment industry forward in that regard. More prominently, though, is the strong positioning that original, streaming content has gained in a highly truncated period.
For instance, who hasn't heard of the immense success of Netflix's House of Cards? Just last week, the company said the series is the service's most-watched programming. Not only that, but Netflix is using the show as "bait"--offering it up for free to non-subscribers for a limited time, presumably in an effort to draw more members into its subscription fold. As a former Netflix subscriber, I admit I was skeptical when the company first announced its original content plans. They showed me. Through smart marketing and viewer analytics and measurement, Netflix created a content recipe for success. Interestingly, this Fast Company post suggests that "big data" is actually the driving force behind House of Cards' popularity. As with all online video content, a thorough understanding of your audience and their decision-making habits is key. Soon, Netflix will make another foray into original programming, this time offering up educational children's material. This spring, Arrested Development will return exclusively on Netflix.
Of course, Netflix isn’t the only big name tapping into consumers' vast appetite for video on demand. Hulu and YouTube are also aggressively pursuing the title for "most successful online video content purveyor." As in all business situations, competition is a good thing. Ultimately, the end viewer will benefit through an array of high-quality streaming content. And, it's not just the typical, established entertainment players that are entering the original content race; major brands are also creating their own original Web content--with some succeeding more than others.
Bottom line: as original online video content continues to "come of age," it's plausible that in the not-too-distant future, events such as the Streamy Awards may indeed have a following similar to the Emmys and the Oscars.

"I love my granny." She always makes me feel special when I am with her. She prepares my favorite dishes, gives me pocket money, and tells so many cute stories. It was from her that I learned about the family tree. She was a school headmistress and knows well how to treat kids. I used to hear so many fairytales and moral stories from her. She taught me about values in family relationships and the importance of helping others. After I grew up, the bond remained the same. She is a love of my life."
A grandparent-grandchild relationship is a valuable and congenial one. The sweetness, love, and care they have for each other are priceless. Being a granny's or grandpa's kid is a bliss.
The role of grandparents in a child's emotional development
Who can beat the role of grandparents in the upbringing of their grandchildren? Some families have lost their grandparents or may be living apart. But, if observed, a child living with grandparents seems to be more active, happy, and calm. Nowadays, parents are struggling to spend time with their young ones. The presence of grandparents can balance such an absence to a great extent. They take care of the child without any hesitation, look after all their needs, and listen to all their little things.
If your kid had a bad day at school, he will be disappointed, stressed, and mentally down. In such situations, grandparents can deal with them and handle them well. The children regard their grandparents as the first people to contact in the event of a problem, and they believe they would listen to all their issues. Sharing their little grievances reduces their stress and disappointment. If you are living abroad or have any issues with in-laws or parents, do not drag your kid into all this; always try to connect them. You may be busy with work, daily chores, and life. The young ones always need attention, care, and a happy place to share everything. If not, this will affect their emotional stability.
Today, it's easy to connect with family and friends via internet facilities. So, encourage a daily conversation with your grandparents and your kid. Let them grow up enjoying everyone's love.
Your toddler's confidante
Kids are always attention seekers; they like when somebody is always there to listen to them. Grandparents are always such people. They began to happily share every detail of their daily lives with granny and poppa. They anticipate appreciation, a kind word, or encouragement. The old ones can easily give it to them as they are emotionally very well connected. They will see a reflection of their parenthood when growing up with the grandkids, enjoying each happy moment and cute fight with them.
Such children show better behavior and social skills and interact very well with elders and society. Kids began to trust the bond they share with their grandparents. Honesty, trust, integrity, loyalty, and many more values are shared and learned this way. Being a confidante to your child implies that those people are completely dedicated to children.
Connecting link to Know the family history
Our grandparents are the connecting link that helps us learn about our family ancestors. They used to tell many stories and share experiences they had, with the kids. Gradually, strong family bonds and values are inculcated in the little minds. Through this, they are also learning how to work on relationships and keep them alive and strong. The young ones develop a deeper understanding of the bonds shared in a family and learns how to handle an issue that breaks out within that.
They learn to overcome any struggles or hard situations in the future that can have a long-lasting effect on a loving family relationship.
Guide them in every life situation
In a difficult situation, grandparents can offer their perspectives to the child. They have acquired wisdom and years of life experience. Proper advice and support that helps them navigate to the best alternative way is made possible by the grandparents. When a kid feels pressure to do something he doesn't like or to choose a path his heart never desires, grandparents are the ones they will approach to make it alright. Sometimes they can bridge the miscommunication between parents and kids.
Teaching new skills
The memories of being with grandparents will always be profound and heartfelt. Retrieving the moments leads us to new life lessons. Some may recoup memories of baking together with Granny, gardening or crafting with Grandpa, etc. They help us learn new skills to utilize in life. Always do something to make the kid a better person to survive in every situation that may come up at different phases. They introduce new paths to be followed and lead them to a better way to grow.
Make them strong for happier lives
They became role models for staying active, positive, and hopeful in life. Their positivity and cheerfulness keep the kids alive and happy all the time. If they feel low, the grandma or grandpa will make them okay soon. They learn to make strong decisions in life, to not pass judgement on others, to evolve from basic societal grounds, to adapt to new cultures, and to blossom as lovely children.

November 12 2017
The two huge trimarans, both over 30 metres long, are expected to cross the finish line in the Bay of All Saints between 12 and 16:00 UTC tomorrow. Seb Josse, the skipper of Maxi Edmond de Rothschild, was spot on when he predicted an eight-day finish three days before the start.
A 40 mile lead for Sodebo Ultim
At 16:00 UTC today Sodebo Ultim’ had a 40-mile lead, but in patchy easterlies off the north-east coast of Brazil was four knots slower than its more powerful pursuer. By the evening with boats getting back towards 30 knots there may be little more than an hour between them.
Whoever wins, the race record will be smashed.
The fastest finish to Salvador remains Franck Cammas on Groupama 2’s astonishing 10day 0h 38min win in 2007 in the 60ft multihull class.
For Thomas Coville, the skipper of Sodebo Ultim’ it would a second Transat Jacques Vabre victory to add to his 1999 win on a very different beast – an Imoca 60ft monohull. Coville has concentrated more on solo round-the-world records in trimarans since and broke the record in December. For he and co-skipper Jean-Luc Nélias it is a measure of revenge after another newly-launched maxi, François Gabart’s Macif beat them in 2015.
Maxi Edmond de Rothschild skipper Seb Josse’s best finishing time was his 11days 5 hours 3min win with Charles Caudrelier on the MOD70 trimaran Edmond de Rothschild in the 2013 edition – that time to Itajaí, Brazil.
The dilemma for Coville and Nélias is that they do not know if Josse and Thomas Rouxel’ boat have a technical problem and whether they can control the race against a potentially more powerful rival.
“Even with their technical problem they’re going at the same speed as us,” Nélias said. “Control is the whole problem, it’s possible if you’re going at the same speed, with the same boat in the same class, but now we don’t know if can control them or whether they’re going to go faster,”
Nélias predicts a complicated light upwind finish after the north-easterly drag race down the coast.
The first Multi50s (just after the last Ultime, Prince de Bretagne) entered the Doldrums – still loitering at 7°N this afternoon, going through what they hope will be the fastest door between the 28°W and the 30°W. According to Richard Silvani of Météo France: “As for the Ultime, there is a mouse hole there where the activity is less, the Multi50 should not be too slow.” Erwan Leroux et Vincent Riou on FenêtréA – Mix Buffet have not escaped from Lalou Roucayrol and Alex Pella on Arkema, who stemmed the losses and then made 10 miles back today to be 93 miles behind with 1,300 miles of the racetrack left.
The Imoca are passing the Cape Verde archipelago. As predicted by SMA yesterday, west is best, so the fleet has refined its trajectory, gybing behind St Michel-Virbac. That manoeuvring has cost every one miles to the leader, with SMA and Des Voiles et Vous! now 60 and 117 miles behind respectively. British skipper, Sam Davies, with Tanguy de Lamotte on Initiatives-Cœur – despite a mast climb - have moved from seventh into fifth, but have lost about 80 miles on the leader in the last 24 hours and are now 226 miles behind. All are positioning themselves for what they hope will be the best route through the ITCZ (Intertropical Convergence Zone, aka the Doldrums), but it is still too early to know how active it will be. The leaders will start entering the Doldrums overnight into Tuesday.
Phil Sharp and Pablo Santurde (Imerys Clean Energy) are watching their lead get nibbled away to six miles as the frontrunners flirt with a ridge of high pressure between the Canaries and Cape Verde generated by a depression in the west that is moving north. Imerys’s speed has dropped to under 8 knots, while those positioned further east are finding more pressure. The depression is momentarily breaking the trade wind. Sharp, still battling with communications and weather files on his back-up Satcom after an antenna failure, explained that the loss of 30 miles of their lead had come from finding a mountain of seaweed on their keel. He was forced to stop and dive under the boat to check.

Our newly-refurbished, dementia-friendly Chung Hok House was officially opened on Friday 8th June 2018 by Liverpool City Council’s Mayoral Lead for Older People (South), Councillor Jeremy Wolfson and Councillor Ann O’Byrne.
The Councillors were shown round the new communal lounges and hairdressing salon, and met some of our sheltered scheme’s residents.
The refurbishment has completely transformed the scheme’s communal areas with into brighter and more luxurious spaces. Soft colour schemes and furnishings were chosen to create a familiar and comfortable environment for our Chung Hok House residents.
Carroll Build, who undertook the refurbishment works, also followed dementia-friendly standards such as feature walls and carpets to make different floor levels, hallways and rooms easily identifiable and therefore easier to navigate for those residents living with memory loss and visual impairments.
Located within the Anglican Cathedral Precinct, near the city’s Chinatown, Chung Hok House largely serves the older, local Chinese-speaking population.
Liverpool City Council’s Councillor Jeremy Wolfson said: “I’m delighted to have officially opened the £1m refurbished Chung Hok House. Its design has been thought out to ensure it has dementia friendly elements and there is a great schedule of activities available here to help reduce social isolation.”

Salina police said Friday morning that more arrests are anticipated in the death of a Salina woman whose body was found Thursday near the intersection of Interstate highways 135 and 70.
"This investigation is not over," Salina police Lt. Scott Siemsen said during a press briefing. "It does not end there (with finding the body)."
Joel M. Heil, 24, Salina, was booked into the Saline County Jail on a charge of premeditated first-degree murder. Heil, whom law officers had been seeking and who had been named as a person of interest in the disappearance of 27-year-old Kristin Tyler, was arrested Wednesday at an Abilene hotel.
Siemsen said Friday morning that police believed Heil could have had a firearm when police broke in the door of the hotel room. However, Siemsen said Heil was not armed when he was arrested.
He said Tyler's death might have occurred at the location where her body was found, in the bottom of a small ravine a short distance from the Interstate overpass.
Her body was found by a deputy, who was among deputies and other officers searching near bridges in the county as the result of investigative information, Siemsen said.
The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is investigating the crime scene, and Salina police and Saline County Sheriff's Office are working together on the case.
Seimsen also said that authorities are investigating leads from family members about previous encounters between Tyler and Heil.

Can you get PTSD from watching a loved one die?
It is possible for a suddenly bereaved person to be defined as suffering from traumatic grief and PTSD.
People diagnosed as suffering from PTSD are defined as firstly having suffered a traumatic event, which can include a sudden death of a loved one..
Can you die from PTSD symptoms?
In addition, seven of 10 studies found a link between PTSD and early death. When the results of the studies were grouped together, the researchers estimated that PTSD increased the risk of dying by 29 percent.
What are the 5 stages of PTSD?
Can you get PTSD from family?
But anyone — even kids — can develop it after a traumatic event. Traumas that might bring on PTSD include the unexpected or violent death of a family member or close friend, and serious harm or threat of death or injury to oneself or a loved one. Situations that can cause such trauma include: violent attacks, like rape.
What does PTSD look like in a child?
A child who meets the criteria for PTSD shows symptoms commonly grouped in three areas: intrusive memories, such as bad dreams and play that reenact the event; avoidance and numbing, such as difficulty maintaining relationships, difficulty concentrating, and disinterest in formerly significant activities; and increased …
How can you tell if someone has PTSD?
The disorder is characterized by three main types of symptoms: Re-experiencing the trauma through intrusive distressing recollections of the event, flashbacks, and nightmares. Emotional numbness and avoidance of places, people, and activities that are reminders of the trauma.
What is Cptsd?
Complex post-traumatic stress disorder (complex PTSD, sometimes abbreviated to c-PTSD or CPTSD) is a condition where you experience some symptoms of PTSD along with some additional symptoms, such as: difficulty controlling your emotions.
Can you get PTSD from health problems?
Doctors aren’t sure why some people get PTSD. As with most mental health problems, PTSD is probably caused by a complex mix of: Stressful experiences, including the amount and severity of trauma you’ve gone through in your life. Inherited mental health risks, such as a family history of anxiety and depression.
What happens if you don’t grieve?
When incomplete grief is added to the mix, a person can overreact. One person may become more dependent on a partner, while someone else may swing way to the opposite side and pull away from others, avoiding any sense of closeness to order to avoid potential loss and pain.
How can you tell if someone has a flashback?
Flashbacks sometimes feel as though they come out of nowhere, but there are often early physical or emotional warning signs. These signs could include a change in mood, feeling pressure in your chest, or suddenly sweating. Becoming aware of the early signs of flashbacks may help you manage or prevent them.
What does a PTSD attack feel like?
A person with PTSD can also experience the physical sensations of panic attacks, such as heart palpitations, shortness of breath, and hot flashes. However, these attacks are brought on by the re-experiencing of the traumatic event through such experiences as dreams, thoughts, and flashbacks.
What are the 17 symptoms of PTSD?
Some of the most common symptoms of PTSD include the following:Intense feelings of distress when reminded of a tragic event.Extreme physical reactions to reminders of trauma such as a nausea, sweating or a pounding heart.Invasive, upsetting memories of a tragedy.Flashbacks (feeling like the trauma is happening again)More items…
What can trigger PTSD?
Types of events that can lead to PTSD include:serious accidents.physical or sexual assault.abuse, including childhood or domestic abuse.exposure to traumatic events at work, including remote exposure.serious health problems, such as being admitted to intensive care.childbirth experiences, such as losing a baby.More items…
What does PTSD do to a person?
People with PTSD have intense, disturbing thoughts and feelings related to their experience that last long after the traumatic event has ended. They may relive the event through flashbacks or nightmares; they may feel sadness, fear or anger; and they may feel detached or estranged from other people.
Can a person who is dying hear you?
While the dying person may be unresponsive, there is growing evidence that even in this unconscious state, people are aware of what is going on around them and can hear conversations and words spoken to them, although it may feel to them like they are in a dream state.

Bently Spang is a Northern Cheyenne writer, curator, educator, and multidisciplinary artist whose mediums include mixed media sculpture, performance, video, and installation. His work is exhibited widely in the United States, Europe, Mexico, Canada, and South America. By combining organic and non-organic matter into sculpture, infusing performance with ironic humor and pushing the boundaries of video and installation, he creates Indigenous cultural spaces and expresses himself as a contemporary Cheyenne.
In The Healing Series (1992), Spang explores his identity within two worlds. The forced fusing of natural and man-made materials exposes tensions between indigeneity and Western ideals. In one piece in the series, aluminum is used to reference the superficiality of modernity, while sinew and catlinite (pipestone) provides cultural grounding. The series contains drawings, metal shields and tools typically used in healing processes. The series is both an investigation and affirmation of Spang’s cultural self.
In Spang’s performance work a futuristic alter-ego manifestation, called The Blue Guy, surfaces. The Blue Guy’s regalia is a cowboy hat, cowboy boots, and dark shades which are worn at all times. The shades deflect external negative energy, evoking the mirrors found on regalia, thus providing his alter-ego with a form of cultural expression. His blue skin is a deterrent to ideals of authenticity based on skin tone. By making his alter ego blue, Spang ponders what life would be like if skin pigment was not a deciding factor in how humans are located and valued.
Working collaboratively and engaging community is important to Spang’s practice. In Tekcno Pow Wow 1 (2001), Spang and Navajo artist Bert Benally combine dance, music and video to create new versions of cultural gatherings that are straddled in the past, present, and future. Tekcno Pow Wow, a continual project, showcases similarities between cultures using dance, interactive/robotic technologies and music. The structure is like a regular powwow, however here The Blue Guy plays the role of emcee and clown dancer; break-dancers compete with traditional dancers and scripted spontaneity takes over. Some performers in Tekcno Pow Wow wear culturally and conceptually wired outfits called Cyberskins, which are futuristic powwow regalia. These strategies allow Spang to explore the idea of ‘cyber’ from a Cheyenne perspective.
In the installation New American Relics – Redux (2009) Spang uses humour and role-play to contemplate how Indigenous people are often presented as a lost culture in museums and anthropology. Suspended glowing light boxes become objects of a faux lost culture known as the “vit-heut” in the year 3007. By taking on the role of anthropologist and naming the lost culture vit-heut, or white man in Northern Cheyenne, he cheekily reverses roles. The haunting glow of the objects is disquieting, yet the inclusion of a video of Spang during a faux interview adds comic relief. As with his other works, Spang provides space for viewers to ponder how culture is located, how it is expressed, and how it grounds First Peoples.

Was Nobel Peace Laureate Muhammad Yunus’s sacking from the microlending bank he created part of a conspiracy to discredit and force him out?
Was it a conspiracy? Last November, a documentary aired on Norwegian television accusing Muhammad Yunus, the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner, of a slew of unethical and illegal practices. The most serious was the illegal transfer of $100 million from Grameen Bank, the financial institution he established to help his country’s poor, to another Grameen company. The film sparked an investigation by the Norwegian government, but not a single charge leveled against Yunus held up to scrutiny.
Regardless of the film’s inaccuracies, its consequences were significant. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed’s government began attacking Yunus soon afterward, and the Bangladeshi press all but declared him guilty. Then in March, Yunus was fired as Grameen’s director. The official reason was that the 70-year-old Yunus was ten years past the mandatory retirement age for government workers. But to some, this smelled contrived. Yunus had offered to step down numerous times over the years, and his requests were repeatedly denied. Moreover, there were cabinet members older than Yunus, like Abul Maal Abdul Muhith, the 76-year-old finance minister. In light of these inconsistencies, Yunus’s supporters cast their gaze on the prime minister.
Sheikh Hasina’s change of heart toward Yunus has indeed been striking. An ardent supporter for years, she recently began calling him a “bloodsucker of the poor.” The reasons for her turn are murky, but many believe she harbored a grudge against Yunus because of his Nobel win (she had lobbied for the Peace Prize after signing a peace treaty in 1997) and because of his plan in 2007 to launch a political party to clean up Bangladeshi politics (Bangladesh currently ranks among the most corrupt countries). Yunus’s supporters assert that Hasina exploited Yunus’s damaged reputation caused by the documentary to settle her vendetta. But would the prime minister really have waited fourteen years to get even? Microfinance, after all, has earned Yunus more enemies than Sheikh Hasina.
The concept of microfinance is as simple as it is revolutionary. Rather than relying on outside forces to help the impoverished, such as Western aid or foreign development, Yunus’s idea was to start a bank that would provide tiny loans to poor families so they could help themselves by starting their own businesses. A family could take a loan for something as simple as seeds and garden tools, for instance, and sell vegetables, or buy a cow and sell milk. Yunus founded Grameen Bank in 1978, and within Bangladesh it has proved remarkably successful, eventually garnering Yunus his Nobel Prize. Today the bank has 8.3 million borrowers, most of whom are Muslim women. This empowerment of Islamic women earned Yunus his first group of enemies: religious radicals who accused microcredit of “destroying Islam.”
Beyond the religious ramifications have been broader socioeconomic ones. Microcredit uprooted entrenched economic forces by putting many local money lenders—loan sharks who charge exorbitant interest rates and possess significant political power—out of business. Moreover, the country’s extreme left and extreme right “hated” microfinance from the beginning (the right thought it was communism in disguise, the left believed it was U.S.-promoted capitalism). On a global level, consider microcredit in the context of a world economy dominated by a few dozen multinational corporations. If microcredit were to thrive globally, it would mean fewer wage workers for foreign corporations to exploit and fewer people dependent upon Western aid—aid generated by what the Zambian economist Dambisa Moyo has described as an “aid industry” of half a million people whose jobs depend on keeping the money flowing.
So Yunus has made enemies. And, as he admits in the following interview, he has become a target. Whether Sheikh Hasina or any of his other enemies were behind the fraudulent documentary is unknown (no links have been established, he says). Nevertheless, the Bangladeshi government is currently mulling a takeover of Grameen Bank as well as his fifty-five other companies—a “crazy idea,” he says, because politics would inevitably turn the bank from a vehicle to help the poor into a political weapon. While he considers his legal options, Yunus has managed to remain busy and optimistic. He has stepped up his efforts to promote social business, which he describes as “the business of solving problems, not making a profit.”
Of all Yunus’s revolutionary ideas, this is perhaps the most so. Social business strikes at the very theory of capitalism itself, the idea that mutual profit, or mutual selfishness, is its driving force. “Humans get excited for different reasons,” he says. “Profit is only one.” Like a stunted child whom he seeks to nourish with the yogurt produced by his food company Grameen-Danone, capitalism as an idea, Yunus contends, remains inchoate and malformed. With social business, he seeks nothing less than to redefine the term by helping it evolve into a philosophy that incorporates selflessness as much as selfishness. We spoke by phone on a Tuesday, 10 P.M. Bangladesh time.
—Jake Whitney for Guernica
Guernica: Let’s start with the controversy surrounding your firing from Grameen Bank. The documentary that started all your problems has been proven false on every charge. So why was it made? Was it politically motivated or just people trying to stir up controversy to attract viewers?
Muhammad Yunus: One theory is that it was politically motivated and the motivation came from Bangladesh. The basic allegation of the film was that we improperly transferred money from one Grameen company to another. But the Bangladesh press even twisted that into: “Professor Yunus benefited from an illegal transfer of money.” Those were the kind of headlines that appeared here. So people saw a political hand in it. A smear campaign against me [then ensued] in which all kinds of accusations and allegations were made. Strengthening the idea that it was politically motivated is that I’m accused by the prime minister of being a bloodsucker and destroying the lives of poor people. [My supporters] brought evidence to show how politically motivated it was.
Guernica: Has there been actual evidence brought to the table showing a political motivation by the government in Bangladesh?
Muhammad Yunus: The political leaders have been directly accusing me. So that fits into the allegation that it was politically motivated.
Guernica: But have there been any links established between the Bangladesh government and the makers of the film, monetarily or otherwise?
Muhammad Yunus: We have not seen that.
Guernica: Do you think microfinance threatened entrenched economic powers and caused you to become a target?
Muhammad Yunus: Yes. Before microfinance the local moneylenders were making money from the poor. Microfinance threatened them because Grameen Bank offered loans at much better [interest] rates, and suddenly poor people didn’t need loan sharks. These loan sharks were very powerful people in the villages. They depended upon the support of the poor because they were in essence their patrons. The loan sharks would give the poor some help and in return they would get political and social support. The poor believed that it was only because of their support for their patrons that they were getting loans and staying alive. But now with Grameen the poor don’t need those patrons.
If you’re using microcredit the way it should be used, as we are, the profits go back to the borrowers. There’s no way you can describe that as bloodsucking.
Guernica: Could these groups have rallied politicians to instigate a smear campaign against you?
Muhammad Yunus: There are certainly political groups that don’t like us. The ultra-left has always hated us. They believe we’ve been promoted by the United States to bring capitalism [to Bangladesh] and disrupt the future socialist revolution. They believe our plan is to spread the seed of capitalism by giving poor people just enough money that they don’t demand an end to power by the rich. The extreme right is also upset with us because they think that microcredit is communism in disguise. Their theory is that once the poor have enough money, they will take over the government. We’re targets of both sides because [microcredit] has become very popular and deals with millions of families. We are looked at with suspicion that someday this power will be used as a political tool.
Guernica: As microfinance has moved into other countries, it has strayed from its mission of helping the poor toward something more profit-driven. Its reputation has suffered as a result. How did that happen?
Muhammad Yunus: As microcredit grew and the benefits to the poor became clear, it received lots of admiration and respect. So seeing this credibility, some began to exploit it for their own benefit. It was so abused in some places that it turned into a new form of loan sharking, a way to profit from the poor. Once you start personally benefiting, you [divert] from the original mission, which was to help the poor. That takes you in the direction of loan sharking. Loan sharking is what we were fighting when we started microcredit. So they are reversing the whole process. We tried to stop [people who use microcredit as a profit-making enterprise], but they promoted it independently. I’ve been very critical of this. I’ve said if it can’t be stopped at least it should be called something else. Reserve the terms “microcredit” and “microfinance” for programs dedicated to helping the poor rather than those in which you personally benefit. There should be pro-poor micro credit and another term for commercialized, profit-driven microcredit. We want microcredit to remain true to its mission.
Guernica: Have any people associated with Grameen Bank profited at the expense of the poor in Bangladesh?
Muhammad Yunus: Grameen Bank is owned by the borrowers, so once the bank makes a profit, it goes back to the borrowers as dividends. So within Grameen Bank there is no possibility of profit or loan sharking. But if another [microcredit] bank is created by an individual to lend money, he or she may take the profit if they choose to. In order to maximize profits he will keep on squeezing the services to the poor and increasing [interest rates] so that his profit margin increases. That is the wrong direction. But within Grameen, that is not a possibility. We are promoting microcredit programs the way we have done them: let the borrowers be the owners of the program so that there is no question of benefits going outside it.
Guernica: So the comment that you mentioned earlier describing you as a bloodsucker of the poor. Why do you think it was said?
Muhammad Yunus: This is a misunderstanding. They have no idea how Grameen works. I am an employee of the bank so I cannot be a bloodsucker. I can only collect my salary. The system as such is sucking the blood of poor people in those cases where it has become a profit-making enterprise. Because if you’re using microcredit the way it should be used, as we are, the profits go back to the borrowers. There’s no way you can describe that as bloodsucking.
Guernica: Let’s talk about the impact microcredit has had in developing nations. One of the most striking things about Grameen Bank is the focus on lending to women, almost all of them Muslim. In Islamic households, women aren’t typically breadwinners or community leaders, but microfinance has empowered them to become these things. Was religion a roadblock when you started out?
Muhammad Yunus: Yes. Approximately 88 percent of Bangladesh’s population is Muslim. But let’s start with why we focused on women. Not even 1 percent of the borrowers in conventional banks [in Bangladesh] are women. It is absolutely wrong. When I began my work I addressed this by ensuring that at least half the borrowers in my program were women. But in the beginning, they wouldn’t even leave their houses to talk to us. We were forced to speak with their husbands. I had to bring my female students to speak to women. When we described the loans they would say: “We’ve never had any money in our lives. Our husbands handle the money.” It took us six years to convince enough women that they could handle money, and finally we brought the level of participation to fifty-fifty. But then we noticed something interesting: loaning money to women brought more benefits to families than loaning money to men, even when it was the same amount. It turned out that women were very cautious with money and made sure that the benefits went primarily to their children. We didn’t see this kind of behavior among men. So we decided to focus on women. Over time we brought women to 70, 80, 90 percent of our borrowers. Today we have 8.3 million borrowers and 97 percent of them are women.
The theory is that everyone benefits from specialization. But in practice we see big countries taking over the economies of the poor countries, big companies taking over the small companies, and big companies becoming more powerful than the governments themselves.
Guernica: What other roadblocks did you encounter?
Muhammad Yunus: Their own thinking was a roadblock. Religion was a big part of this. Many religious leaders accused us of destroying [Islam] by giving money to women and making them come out of their houses. Religious leaders threatened the bank, threatened the women, saying, “If you take loans from Grameen you will be ex-communicated.” It was a challenge to avoid violent confrontations. The husbands opposed the idea of lending money to their wives. They thought absolute authority of the household lied with them and none should go to the women.
Guernica: Before microfinance, the key ways of addressing poverty in developing nations were through Western aid and foreign development. Aid has received criticism lately. Should we consider stopping it?
Muhammad Yunus: Aid is important and necessary, so it should continue. The problem is the way aid programs are structured. Currently, aid is given directly to governments, but government is not an efficient machine when it comes to implementing projects, especially in third world countries. So inefficiency is one problem. Another is that aid can encourage corruption because it funds tyrannical regimes and makes governments less accountable to their citizens. There’s also the issue of donors having their own ideas about what the aid should be used for. They may have good intentions, but their ideas are not necessarily what is best for the recipient country. Since recipient countries feel beholden to donor countries, they often just accept their ideas. Aid creates dependence by donor countries because ideas like self-reliance and sustainability are not encouraged. The money needs to go where it can do the most benefit, such as into the civil society and into areas such as social business, a new type of business that I am promoting. This is the business of solving problems, not making money for yourself. Social businesses can be run by local people. Many of the [foreign] businesses in Africa are looked at as a new kind of financial or commercial imperialism, a new colonialism, because they are exploiting or plundering the countries. These are all issues that must be addressed with aid. We need to redesign the aid model so instead of [encouraging] plundering you create capacity and entrepreneurship.
Guernica: You mentioned that many Africans consider foreign businesses within their countries to be a new type of imperialism. How do you see the role played by foreign corporations in developing nations? They bring jobs but they have histories of polluting local environments, exploiting native workers, and undercutting native industries.
Muhammad Yunus: Not only undercutting native industries, but destroying them. Big companies go into poor countries, take over the economy and destroy the inherent capacity. Chains like Walmart know that local companies can’t compete with them because they mobilize resources that local companies cannot. But of course this is part of globalization. Globalization is extremely important. When you open up the world countries benefit from each other. The theory is that everyone benefits from specialization. But in practice we see big countries taking over the economies of the poor countries, big companies taking over the small companies, and big companies becoming more powerful than the governments themselves. In that type of globalization only one side wins. The benefits should be shared. Not a tiny bit for me and a lot for you. So to make things more equal we need regulation. If you look at globalization as a highway, you need traffic rules, speed limits, and laws governing its use. Otherwise, large corporations and large countries will drive their huge trucks and vehicles in every lane and the small countries with their tiny carts and rickshaws will get run over. We need rules so everybody has a chance, so everyone is safe no matter what kind of vehicle they’re driving. Once we get rules in place, we need traffic police, otherwise the big guys will ignore the rules. We need to start having discussions about how we can implement these rules.
It can be a crazy idea to transform a borrower-owned bank into a government-owned bank. Politics will creep into it. Whichever party is in power, they will use it to their political advantage rather than focus on helping the poor.
Guernica: So you’re saying there is a role for both aid and foreign development as long as there is more oversight over each.
Muhammad Yunus: Of course. Globalization is an excellent concept; I’m not saying get rid of it. You couldn’t stop globalization if you wanted to. But its difficulties have not been properly addressed. You’re happy if you’re taking all the benefits. But if you’re losing everything through globalization, if your business is drying up because big companies are taking your market, then you have to say this is not acceptable. And this will not promote peace. Because it is taking things from people that they were enjoying before. This creates tension, it creates violence, it creates political unrest.
Guernica: Let’s talk about your future. Now that you are out as managing director, there’s been talk that the Bangladeshi government wants to bring all the Grameen companies under one umbrella organization and nationalize them, effectively taking over your companies.
Muhammad Yunus: A committee was appointed by the government [to determine the bank’s future] and it made very specific recommendations. One recommendation is a change in the bank’s ordinance to make it government-owned. Today, borrowers own 97 percent of it, and only 3 percent is owned by the government. We have been very critical of this recommendation because government institutions, particularly financial institutions, are not known for being run efficiently or free of corruption. So it can be a crazy idea to transform a borrower-owned bank into a government-owned bank. Politics will creep into it. Whichever party is in power, they will use it to their political advantage rather than focus on helping the poor. Another Review Committee recommendation is that the other Grameen companies be taken over by Grameen Bank, and then the government. This too would be a mistake. These other companies are independent; they are not Grameen Bank-owned organizations. But the Review Committee didn’t take time to properly understand how they operate. We’re worried that the government may take these steps, and then these companies would become arms of the government.
Guernica: What is your next step in this process?
Muhammad Yunus: The government has only heard the recommendations from the Review Committee but hasn’t taken a step yet. If the government adopts the recommendations then we’ll have to go through the legal course of action. We need to see what legal point they have to claim these companies for themselves. We don’t see anything; our lawyers don’t see anything. Grameen Bank may have some financial link with [other Grameen companies], but a financial link doesn’t establish ownership. If a financial link established ownership, all the companies in the world would be bank-owned because banks lend money to companies. We are hoping that the legal procedure will work and that it will be transparent.
Guernica: You flirted with politics in the past. Do you have any plans to launch a political party as you almost did in 2007?
Muhammad Yunus: I’m not involved in politics and I don’t want to be. When [I considered it] in 2007, it was an intention, but I never created a party. I was under many pressures at that time, so initially I agreed to get involved. But it was just a short period where I considered it. I’m going to keep doing what I do, continue with my mission of social business, advocate it, use it to help the problems we see with development, social problems, environmental problems, food security problems, health problems. We want to discover ways to solve these problems instead of continuously adding to them.
Capitalism is not about the profit motive. Capitalism is about free markets. What you do in the market, in your free will, is the essence of capitalism.
Guernica: Explain the concept of social business.
Muhammad Yunus: Social business is a business that is set up to address a very specific social or environmental problem in a businesslike manner. Its goal is not to make money. The drive for problem-solving replaces the drive for profit. There are two kinds of businesses. One is a profit-driven business where the goal is to maximize profits. The other is a social business where the goal is to solve a problem. Social businesses can make a profit, but the owner never takes a dividend. It’s a non-loss, non-dividend company. The first condition of a social business is it must be sustainable. You have to run it with your own money so you’re not donor-dependent or charity-dependent. You sell a product to cover your costs, but you need to make your product very cheaply so it’s affordable. Owners can take back their investment money, but that’s all.
Guernica: Are any of your companies social businesses?
Muhammad Yunus: We have many. We have a joint venture with Danone called Grameen-Danone. Its goal is to address the problem of malnutrition among Bangladesh’s children. We’ve created a special yogurt that we sell very cheaply. We have created social businesses in health care, and we have one that addresses the problem of [clean] water. We have an eye-care hospital. We created Adidas-Grameen to make affordable shoes. We joined with BASF to produce mosquito nets to protect against malaria. Other countries are getting involved. I met with President Dilma of Brazil in June and we will be launching social businesses in Brazil. We are already working in Colombia, Albania, and Haiti. In July, we’re holding a forum in Japan to bring Japan’s big businesses and universities together to see how to create social businesses in Asia. Every year we hold a global summit where we bring business leaders from multinational companies together—as well as faculty members and young people from universities—to see how they can use their talent, creativity and technology to solve specific problems. This year [the global summit] will be held in Vienna in November. We are expecting about twelve hundred people, including U.N. Secretary General Ban-Ki Moon, President Dilma, and many other political and business leaders.
Guernica: You say the primary goal of social business is to solve problems, not make money. But free-market purists of the Ayn Rand or Milton Friedman school would say that it is precisely profit-seeking that makes capitalism work. That mutual selfishness leads to a greater good.
Muhammad Yunus: I dispute that. Capitalism is not about the profit motive. Capitalism is about free markets. What you do in the market, in your free will, is the essence of capitalism. I want to sell my yogurt, but I don’t want to make a profit. I want to see children become healthy. Human beings are excited for many reasons. Profit is only one. The same people who are excited by profit might also be excited by changing the world. As I explained, big companies like Danone, BASF, Adidas, Uniqlo, and Schneider are working with us. These are the best profit makers you can imagine. At the same time they are interested in the positive change that social business can bring. What I’m saying is that capitalism is standing on one leg. I’m providing another leg so it can be balanced. I have two dimensions in me. I have the selfish dimension where I could run a profit-making business. I have the selfless dimension so I use the money that I make to change the world. I get very excited about that. If you say that I’m doing this under pressure or because of my religious fear or something like that, no, I enjoy it. I have already created fifty-five companies and I don’t own a share in any of them. I never intended to make a penny out of any company. Every single one of my companies was designed to address a specific problem.
Guernica: Would you describe this as a more fully realized or perhaps a more enlightened form of capitalism?
Muhammad Yunus: Not enlightened, but a more fully developed capitalism. Capitalism was half done. Now I’m pushing it toward completion. I won’t say this completes it because there might be other aspects of capitalism that have not yet been explored. But I’m adding social business as a piece so that the pieces can work together. People have every right to make as much money as they want. But people also have the right to create businesses to solve problems. So it’s up to the people to decide. Nobody’s forcing this. Government is not forcing it, religion is not forcing it, political leaders aren’t forcing it. It’s my intention, my idea.
Guernica: You attribute altruistic motives to these large companies who are working with you to form social businesses, but don’t you think much of it is done for PR reasons, so in the end it really is about making a profit?
Muhammad Yunus: Whatever brings them in. They know they’re not going to make money in these social businesses, so if it’s done for PR that’s fine with me. If it gives them a good name, why shouldn’t they take it? This is their incentive. Why shouldn’t you solve the problem of malnutrition in the world if it gives you good PR? What may start as PR may influence the decision makers of a company more fundamentally. Immediate reasons for starting a social business may be for charity or publicity, but once you discover the joy of doing it, it reshapes your thinking and your actions in a more sustained way.

The Chargers weren’t the only California-based club to show interest in cornerback Brandon Flowers.
According to Mike Garafolo of Fox Sports, Flowers met with the 49ers on Friday.
Ultimately, the 28-year-old Flowers reached a one-year deal with San Diego, where he figures to be a vital part of the Chargers’ secondary. But the Niners’ interest in the 2013 Pro Bowler is notable. The 49ers are perhaps as thin at cornerback as they are at any position, and their visit with Flowers may suggest they are open to adding to their defensive backfield.
Tramaine Brock, Chris Culliver, Chris Cook and Perrish Cox are among the Niners’ veteran options at cornerback, with rookie safety Jimmie Ward expected to have a role covering the slot.

When you are constipated, your body recycles everything it can. Bile is a precious commodity, so that toxic bile gets circulated back to the liver to be re-used, and congests the liver in the process. Fluids are extracted from the waste and processed through the kidneys, putting strain on the kidneys to filter all that wastewater. In the process of extracting the fluid, the waste sitting in your colon becomes hard, dry, and compacted, making it harder to move through. This means toxins are accumulating, which are then shuttled to fat cells to be stored since they can’t be eliminated, and this causes not just water weight and bloating, but also fat gain.
I do my Colinics is 3 sessions. I’m actually going for my last session this morning. Thus far, I’ve lost 3 lbs but also feel so much cleaner. I don’t feel bloated like I used to anymore which is awesome. While doing this, I’ve learned a lot about changing my eating habits. Each session I go to, the nurse always informs me of the what and what not to eat. My first session felt like I was giving birth again along with all the cramping. I literally asked for a epidural 😝. But the 2nd session was much better. I had a technique that eliminated the cramping by doing a mid sit up. By doing this it pretty much shot everything out lol. More came out in the 2nd session than the 1st. Can’t wait to see what the 3rd session will bring. Would I recommend this to anyone? YES.

James, who was enlisted by NSW Health to help devise guidelines after the hepatitis incident, says that despite perceptions instilled by 49-buck daily deals, colonic lavage is an invasive medical procedure. It should be performed in a medically-run clinic by medically-trained practitioners au fait with infection control procedures. Many practitioners, James laments, are not medically trained.
Sea salt: A common seasoning ingredient, sea salt is full of detoxifying properties. Mixing one tablespoon of sea salt in water and boiling it, then letting it cool, can be a great way to utilize the detoxifying properties of sea salt. However, too much salt water can cause diarrhea, so it is important to drink plenty of water and fresh juices throughout the day.

It also uses more neurotransmitters to digest and process this junk food, leading to an imbalance in your “feel good” hormones, if not a deficiency. When you are under stress, these hormones are signaled by the brain to “speed up” and this chemical surge causes everything from anxiety, insomnia, trouble swallowing, and the “butterflies” in your stomach, to diarrhea, cramping, and neurotransmitter deficiencies.

I know exactly what you mean about feeling “cleaner.” I don’t know if it’s a mental thing or if it’s physical — but there is definitely this sense of cleansed. 🙂 I am definitely looking forward to my next session. Every six months actually sounds like a good idea. I am so glad to know someone else that has actually done this and has something great to say! So far I’ve just been getting a lot of raised eyebrows. 😉 Healthy Eating for a Healthy Weight

Salma Hayek dances with 'the king' Anthony Hopkins in sweet Oscars celebration video
Anthony Hopkins became a two-time Oscar-winning actor and a dancing internet sensation all in the same week.
Three days after the 83-year-old was crowned the oldest acting Oscar winner ever for his performance in Florian Zeller's The Father, the Welsh performer landed a leading role opposite Salma Hayek in a sweet Instagram video celebrating the victory.
"Celebrating with the king," Hayek wrote in a caption for the video, which shows the pair dancing to "Dance Me to the End of Love" by Leonard Cohen. "[for] his 2nd Oscar for his extraordinary performance in The Father."
Hopkins won his second Best Actor Oscar Sunday night in a surprising upset over the late Ma Rainey's Black Bottom star Chadwick Boseman, who'd steadily risen through the ranks of the precursor awards season with early victories at the Golden Globes and the SAG Awards, though Hopkins gained ground in recent weeks with a major win at the BAFTA Awards. He was both unable to attend the in-person ceremony and give his speech via a digital video, so he shared a message online shortly after the telecast.
"Good morning. Well, here I am in my homeland in Wales, and at 83 years of age I did not expect to get this award, I really didn't. And [I'm] very grateful to the Academy, and thank you," he said. "I want to pay tribute to Chadwick Boseman, who was taken from us far too early, and again thank you all very much. I really did not expect this. So I feel very privileged and honored. Thank you."
Hayek's friendship with Hopkins dates back many years, with the 54-year-old even accompanying the Silence of the Lambs star to his Hollywood Walk of Fame induction ceremony in 2003.
Watch Hayek and Hopkins dance in the Instagram video above.

Shuttered Bank of America branch in Upham’s Corner to be auctioned (slide show)
The former Bank of America branch in Dorchester’s Upham’s Corner neighborhood will be sold at auction next week regardless of price to the highest bidder.
Located at 555 Columbia Road, the 5,159-square-foot, two-story building was built in 1917 as a bank. It occupies most of the 8,251-square-foot lot with no parking spaces.
Acquired by the bank in 2000 for $996,386, it is assessed at $1 million.
Justin Manning, the auctioneer of JJ Manning Auctioneers of Yarmouth handling the sale, said the bank had tried to sell the branch previously, but was unsuccessful.
The branch closed in March. A Bank of America spokesman said the bank has four other Dorchester locations, including one at 1104 Massachusetts Ave. in the South Bay Center.
“Based on foot traffic and other metrics, we determined that we could continue to effectively serve our customers with one less location in town,” said T.J. Crawford.
Potential buyers can tour the bank on Thursday, May 8 at 11 a.m., and one hour prior to auction that has been set for Friday, May 16 at 2 p.m.
Manning said the sale is an “absolute auction,” meaning the building will be sold at that time regardless of price.

Alison Moyet has recently released her latest album, the minutes. Photo: Tom Martin
It was wonderful news when Alison Moyet announced she was going to release a new album (the minutes) this year, and an even bigger surprise when it charted so highly in the UK charts (at Number Five, her second-highest-charting studio album there since 1987’s Raindancing to be precise)—a remarkable feat for any artist, especially one who hasn’t released new material in seven years and more specifically—in what remains a sexist industry—a woman. First came the staggeringly brilliant giveaway track, “Changeling,” which highlights her collaboration—in the truest sense of the word—with electronic maestro Guy Sigsworth (Madonna, Björk), and signaled an electronic return to her earlier work with Vince Clarke as one half of synth pop’s legendary Yazoo/Yaz. This was followed by the first, proper single, the subtly layered jewel, “When I Was Your Girl.” Not convinced? Google her recent live performance of it on Graham Norton’s show and listen to not only her diction and enunciation—missing from so much of today’s pop—but witness how a true singer truly sings.

When he was just a child, Zach Gowen was diagnosed with cancer, and the future WWE star would be forced to amputate his leg when he was just eight years of age.
After the eight grade, Andre the Giant decided to drop out of school, as the future WWE legend did not believe that an education was needed in order to be a farmer.
Jerry Lawler and Jimmy Hart were classmates at Memphis Treadwell High School.
Traci Brooks spent much of her childhood on a pig and chicken farm in Ontario.
Andre the Giant was 6'3" and 240 pounds by the time he was 12 years old.
Karl Anderson has been preaching to fans and wrestlers that there are other options in professional wrestling besides WWE. In order to truly get his point across, he revealed on Twitter that he made $640,000 working for New Japan last year, which is higher than what most WWE stars make.
With all the controversy surrounding CM Punk and his departure from WWE, a rather interesting and possibly edited picture has surfaced online of the former world champion hanging out backstage with Karl Anderson, Prince Devitt, Luke Gallows and the Bullet Club, a stable making waves in Japan right now.
"'I can't believe that Mistico didn't make it in WWE.' Said nobody that knew the real deal.."

It looks like the decision to tour Japan has become a good career move for DOC, as the man formerly known as Luke Gallows in WWE has become a bit of a star there. He is currently teaming with Karl Anderson as the Bullet Club.
WWE star Tensai recently revealed through Twitter that he saved Karl Anderson, who has grown to become a big wrestling star overseas, from being fired by New Japan Pro Wrestling after his first tour with the company.
