Disc Golf combines the favorite American pastime of throwing flying discs with one of the world's greatest sports-golf. Players count how many "strokes" (throws) it takes to get from the tee to the basket using aerodynamically designed golf discs. This fun and inexpensive sport is played throughout the U.S., Europe, Japan and as far away as Australia.

Home GENERAL NEWS Justice Matthews Mohan sentenced to death
Matthews Mohan sentenced to death
INK-TECH managing director Matthews Mohan has been sentenced to death for the gruesome murder of Lusaka business executive Sajid Itowala, bringing to an end one of the most hair-raising trials in Zambia's history.
Supreme Court Judge Gregory Phiri, sitting as High Court judge, sentenced Mohan to death and acquitted Mohan's accused brothers and Crown Paints proprietors, Idris Suleiman and Shabbir Patel on grounds that there was no incriminating evidence linking the duo to the offence of murder.
Mr Justice Phiri said Mohan, who was the mastermind in the murder of Mr Itowala, who was Cyclone Hardware managing director, seemed agitated and excited during the time he committed the offence as it could be seen from the way he was issuing instructions and dishing out money to silence witnesses in the case.
This was in a case in which the trio was accused of gruesomely killing Mr Itowala on July 21, 2009 and dumped his body which had multiple bullet wounds in his motor vehicle on Mumbwa Road.
"I wish you should have told the court who was the main sponsor, the source who was funding you because you received and dished a lot of monies, an indication that there were many people interested.
"For the foregoing, there is only one sentence looking at the overwhelming incriminating evidence against the convict. I, therefore, award you the convict the sentence of death. You will be hanged at an appropriate time until you are pronounced dead. May God have mercy on your soul," Mr Justice Phiri said.
He said the prosecutions' attempts to link the two brothers to the case failed because the issue of their former worker whom they abused due to the deceased's attempt to help him obtain a work permit fell short as there was no connection linking it to the murder.
Mr Justice Phiri said the evidence on the court record showed that some prosecution witnesses gave incriminating evidence which warranted them to be jointly charged with the trio in the case, and wondered why the Police spared them.
He mentioned Lusaka lawyer Frank Tembo, Chileshe Shikabenga, and his younger brother Chuntu who were accomplices in the murder of Mr Itowala and should have been jointly charged with the trio.
Mr Justice Phiri said the deceased was first abducted and taken to house number 1 Ngulube Road where independent people witnessed how he differed with Mohan and led to his subsequent beating and tying of his legs and hands using chains.
Mr Itowala was driven in a GX Land Cruiser to Lusaka West where another vehicle, a Land Rover was waiting.
"That Mohan ordered a man called Shaun to kill him, he also issued fresh instructions to kill him at short range using his gun which he pulled from his car after theirs failed to fire.
"The deceased was first tied like an animal being prepared to be slaughtered and murdered in cold blood," he said.
The judge also bemoaned the manner in which the Police officers handled the first investigations, saying had it not been for the second probe, the court was going to face serious challenges in handling the case during trial.
In mitigation, Mohan's lawyer pleaded with the court to slap his client with another sentence other than death due to extenuating circumstances.

Is Death by Hanging a good practice for a Christian nation like Zambia? i Know no one is above the LAW and Brenda you right the wages of sin is death, but does that only apply to Murder or serious crimes or the same applies to shoplifting, because they are all sins aren't they?
Brenda Pezo Ngongola 23/11/2013 at 06:40

I am very happy that the Supreme Court taking cognisance of the report filed by SC-appointed monitoring committee which is overseeing the task of sealing ,who alleged that the Delhi Police was not cooperating has observed that it was a very serious issue & needed to be addressed at the earliest,The apex court had in March 2006 ordered sealing of all unauthorised constructions in the city & had then appointed the Monitoring Committee who was given the task to conduct & monitor sealing drive. The sealing drive went on till January 2012 when court asked the committee not to proceed further as the government had brought in force 2021 Master Plan for regularising some of the illegal constructions. The apex court in December revived the Committee & directed it to resume sealing operations.
I am indeed appalled at the way unauthorised constructions all over the city has come about over the years under the` hawk` eyes of various local authorities whose entrusted job was to ensure that Delhi grew as per the approved master plans.Did they perform their duties? If not,WHY?
Unauthorised constructions have not come about in a day,weeks or months . It is the colluded efforts of various stakeholders for years & years! Who are these stakeholders,we all know?
Why this has come about,we all know?What corrective/punitive steps were taken by the monitoring committee, local authorities & their unauthorised construction/ vigilance departments to check this menacing DISORDER in the city-the capital of India?
There is very BIG IN-HUMAN ANGLE involved in this very SAD exercise?Has this been considered by the experienced & learned members of the monitoring committee , before the report was submitted to the apex court.Reporting that the Police did not make adequate arrangements is easy but what about the huge difficulties/problems the present staff of the deployed police & local authorities would have faced/could face.Why, they are facing it? Has this been brought to the notice of the apex court? How, to mitigate that?
I am deadly against unauthorised construction. But , at this juncture when sizable/ big percentage of development in Delhi is UNAUTHORISED, is it judicious way of going about it or the way it is being overseen/conducted it? Ask your self? What is the fault of the children,families old parents,sick relatives who are living in lakhs in these unauthorised habitations & conducting their flourishing businesses/humble living for months/years under the very eye of these authorities whose representatives now descend upon them with axes,JCBs & bulldozers et al.
It is also extremely intriguing that on the very day sealing goes on in one area, unauthorised constructions continue unabated in other areas of the city?
Take a walk with me,sir.
Having been in the local government, all my professional life after obtaining my civil engineering degree from IIT Delhi,I strongly feel, IITs, Schools of Planning & Architecture, Indian Buildings Congress,Indian Roads Congress , Institution of Architects,Engineers,Town Planners,Structural Engineers et al need to play more proactive role in guiding local govts & in creating awareness about the need for following approved master plans,hazards of unauthorised constructions & causing permanent damage to the urban forms of the city . This ENDEMIC DISEASE need CURE.
Let me also say without mincing any words ` THE UNAUTHORISED CONSTRUCTION/EDIFICES in any city are built on VERY WELL- CRAFTED ,DESIGNED ,SOUND FOUNDATIONS of COLLUSION & CORRUPTION!!
The only way, it can be checked is by injecting strong dose of values,ethics, good governance & morality into the present UNHEALTHY SYSTEM.


A new blog post from NPD Solarbuzz's Michael Barker has taken a deeper look into the complex machine that is the US solar PV market, finding that North Carolina is set to join California as a state driving enough solar PV demand to rank as a top 10 'country' in 2014.
Subsequently, this complexity not only affects the size and shape of the US solar PV market, but if the US was stripped from the rankings, a number of individual US states would take its place in the rankings.
As Barker points out, if California were counted as a country of its own, it would rank as the fourth largest driver of PV demand globally during the past year, while NPD Solarbuzz predict that North Carolina will grow enough to similarly be counted alongside California in 2014. North Carolina placed in the mid-teens during 2013 as a driver of PV demand, just above New Jersey and Arizona, states set to continue on this late-teens trend throughout the next year.
California managed to install more solar during 2013 than it had over the previous 30 years combined, "more than doubling its rooftop solar installations." At the same time, North Carolina, New Jersey, and Arizona were all making steady growths in their own solar installations — though North Carolina has seen meteoric growth over the past three years.
North Carolina To Join California As Top 10 Global PV 'Country' In 2014 was originally published on: CleanTechnica.

Q: Template Argument Deduction with different typename I have defined a generic function like this:
template <typename T1, typename T2>
T2 Calculation(T1 arg_one, T1 arg_two)
{
    return arg_one + arg_two * 3.14;
}

When I try to use this generic function as follow:
auto sum = Calculation(2, 3.2);

Compiler told me: no matching overloaded function found. However, when I try to use this generic function like Calculation<double, double>, it works fine.
Why compiler couldn't deduce the type of the argument and return value in first sample? I have to explicitly define types?

A: The problem is that T2 cannot be deduced from any of the function parameters and T2 also doesn't have any default argument, and template parameters can't be deduced from return type.
To solve this either you can either explicitly specify the template argument for T2 when calling the function  or change T1 arg_two to T2 arg_two so that T2 can also be deduced just like T1 as shown below:
template <typename T1, typename T2>
//-------------------------vv---------->changed T1 to T2 so that T2 can be deduced from passed second argument
T2 Calculation(T1 arg_one, T2 arg_two)
{
    return arg_one + arg_two * 3.14;
}

auto sum = Calculation(2, 3.2); //works now

"The animals were swimming in filth," Fernandez said. "It was cruel and it was inhumane. When I was growing up those machines had stuffed animals."
Lobsters would swim around a small tank until a lucky winner scooped one up with the claw. Winners could either keep the lobster or have the restaurant boil it, free of charge. According to PETA, the mechanical claw injured the lobsters and the tank was too small for them. Also, the organization said, making a game out of killing innocent animals send the wrong message, especially to kids.
Fernandez, who grew up catching lobsters in the Keys, approached the management in early July. She asked them to remove the machine, saying it was a cruel and inhumane way to treat the animals.
The manager "was super gung-ho about it," she said.
Within three weeks, it was gone.
The arcade game known as "The Lobster Zone" came from a company by the same name based in Apopka, north of Orlando. The company has 200 machines in Florida and 2,000 across the United States, said the company's owner, Ernie Pappas, 70.
Pappas denounced PETA's claims that his machine's tanks are uncomfortable for the crustaceans and that the claw injures them.
"We treat our lobsters better than they do in grocery stores," he said. "The claw is made of plastic, I've never had a lobster injured."
The company gets calls from "goodie-two-shoes" a few times a year but it is rare for a bar to get rid of the machine, Pappas said.
"It's pathetic when you think about all of the other stuff going on in the world," he said of their complaints.
For the Carolina Ale House, the decision to remove the machine was easy. The restaurant had heard from customers in the past but none of them were as vocal as Fernandez, said the manager Andy Dunkes, 44.
"She came in and we hit it off," he said. "A lot of people thought the machine was cruel and the last thing we want to do is offend any body."
So far, the removal hasn't affected business, he said.
The lobsters in the arcade game are treated the same as lobsters in display tanks at seafood restaurants. Their claws are bound and they are not fed while they await their death, both of which are industry policies, according to PETA.
Only a handful of establishments around Miami have "The Lobster Zone, " Pappas said.
At Jimmy Johnson's Big Chill in Key Largo the machine is a big hit, especially among the younger crowd.
"The kids go crazy for them," said Monique Barrios, 21, a hostess. "A little girl won three of them the other day."
Although some winners say they want to save the lobsters after they win, customers don't really complain about the machine, Barrios said.
Mr. Moe's Restaurant and Bar in Coconut Grove got rid of the machine about a year ago but not because of animal safety. They took the machine away after some customers broke into it and took some of the money, said employee Gus Fernandez, 40.
"People loved it," he said. "We'd probably still have it if that didn't happen."
For Cristina Fernandez, who has supported animal causes in the past but has never seen tangible results, getting the machine removed from the ale house was an amazing victory.
"I got emotional," she said. "All these waitresses and waiters and bus boys came up to me and told me how much they hated the machine."

Le Parti du peuple (en grec ) ou Parti populaire est un ancien parti conservateur grec. Mouvement monarchiste, il a été fondé en 1920 par Dimitrios Gounaris, le principal opposant à Elefthérios Venizélos et à son Parti libéral. Le  a finalement été dissous en 1958.

Première période (1920-1936)

Après avoir quitté la Corse, où il avait été envoyé en exil par les Alliés, Dimitrios Gounaris parvient à revenir à Athènes dans le courant de l'année 1920. Là, il regroupe autour de lui d'anciens membres du parti nationaliste () qu'il avait fondé en 1913, ainsi que les anciens partisans du leader décédé Georges Théotokis, et fonde le  en octobre. Aux élections législatives de 1920, l'homme politique et ses compagnons font campagne pour le retrait des forces grecques d'Asie mineure et pour l'arrêt du conflit avec la Turquie. Élu triomphalement, il forme un nouveau gouvernement auquel participent Nikolaos Stratos et Petros Protopapadakis.

Cependant, la mort du roi Alexandre I et la restauration de son père Constantin I compliquent la vie politique grecque et empêchent Gounaris de restaurer la paix, alors que les Alliés abandonnent la Grèce. Vaincu en 1922, le pays subit de plein fouet la « Grande catastrophe » et sombre dans l'instabilité. Considérés comme principaux responsables de la défaite, Gounaris et son gouvernement sont jugés durant le Procès des Six puis exécutés pour haute trahison.

Commence alors une nouvelle période de gouvernement pour les vénizélistes, qui aboutit à la proclamation de la Deuxième République hellénique et à la destitution de Georges II en 1924. Le  revient malgré tout au pouvoir en 1933 avec le Premier ministre Panagis Tsaldaris. Le parti joue alors un rôle majeur dans la restauration de la monarchie en 1935. Ce n'est pourtant pas Tsaldaris, mais un ancien vénizéliste, Geórgios Kondýlis, qui permet au roi Georges II de remonter sur le trône.

Après la mort de Panagis Tsaldaris en 1936, son neveu Konstantinos Tsaldaris prend la tête du  mais la dictature établie par Ioannis Metaxas entre 1936 et 1941 empêche le mouvement d'intervenir dans la vie politique.

Deuxième période (1945-1958)

La situation évolue après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale et Konstantinos Tsaldaris remporte les élections législatives de 1946. Le  soutient alors la restauration de Georges II lors du référendum de 1946.

Une fois la nouvelle restauration de Georges II opérée, Konstantinos Tsaldaris démissionne de ses fonctions afin de permettre la formation d'un gouvernement d'unité nationale sous l'égide du libéral Themistoklis Sophoulis. Cette coalition n'empêche pourtant pas l'éclatement de la guerre civile qui frappe la Grèce jusqu'en 1949.

Le  reste la formation politique dominante à droite jusqu'aux . Cependant, la situation évolue lors des , où le , parti du général à la retraite Alexandros Papagos, remporte les suffrages et place le  en marge de la scène politique nationale. Le  participe encore aux élections législatives de 1958 mais son échec conduit Konstantinos Tsaldaris à le dissoudre. En fait, la majorité de ses membres avaient déjà rejoint, à cette date, l'Union nationale radicale (successeur du Rassemblement grec) de Konstantinos Karamanlis.

My First Game(s) for Each Console
October 29, 2020 October 29, 2020 Jett
As November draws near, the hype for new consoles is hitting a fever pitch. I can't wait to get my hands on my PlayStation 5 next month and experience the next generation of gaming.
All of this excitement got me thinking about my past experiences with new hardware. In particular, the games I got with each new toy. To the best of my memory, here's
Famicom – 52-in-1 (not the exact one pictured above)
I didn't actually own an NES as a kid. Instead, my parents got me a Famicom. No, I didn't live in Japan, but my parents knew where to get one with bootleg cartridges that packed dozens of games into one cart. Why spend full price on one game when we can get 52 instead?
Through that cartridge, I got familiar with some weird entries in the NES lineup, such as Legend of Kage and Mappy. Many of the games were not great, but it did include the superior (and outlawed) Tengen Tetris, which included head-to-head multiplayer when the NES version didn't!
SNES – Super Mario World, Star Fox, and Super Mario All-Stars
Getting the Super Nintendo for my birthday was a formative moment in my life. It was through this console and its games that I laid the groundwork to become the gaming enthusiast that I am now. My parents got me a bundle that included Super Mario World and Star Fox. The former still stands as my single-favourite Super Mario game of all-time. The latter was a groundbreaking step towards 3D gaming as we know it today.
A few days later, I got a package in the mail. As it turns out, my parents filled out a mail-in rebate to also get Super Mario All-Stars. I was so spoiled that year!
Nintendo 64 – Super Mario 64
During the Nintendo 64 launch, there were a whopping two titles to choose from. One was Pilotwings 64. The other was the seminal classic Super Mario 64. Pilotwings 64 is fine, but the choice for what game to get with your new Nintendo console at the time was obvious. Mind-blowing game for its time and still a blast to play as part of Super Mario 3D All-Stars!
GameCube – Wave Race: Blue Storm
Having read mixed reviews on Luigi's Mansion, I passed on it during the GameCube launch. To this day, it's still a gap in my knowledge base. Instead, my brother and I got Wave Race: Blue Storm. This…proved to be a mistake.
After that launch day, I never went back to it. Despite my enjoyment of the original, Blue Storm made a bad first impression on us with how difficult the AI was. In retrospect, this is one of my biggest launch busts ever.
Gameboy Advance – Tony Hawk 2
Having never played a Tony Hawk game before, staring my GBA adventure with Tony Hawk 2 was a weird move. While it's certainly not the best way to play, portable Tony Hawk 2 was actually really good. Much of what was possible on home consoles could be done here, just with an isometric camera. From here, I would end up buying (and loving) Tony Hawk 3 and Tony Hawk 4 on the GameCube.
Nintendo DS – Mario Kart DS
My friend Wendy got me a Nintendo DS bundled with Mario Kart DS for Christmas one year. What an insane gift! Mario Kart DS to this day is still one of my faves in the series and was the first to include online play. Too bad that snaking took over the online meta.
Wii – Wii Sports and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Packed in with the console, Wii Sports paved the way for motion-based gaming while also expanding the gaming audience. Many of my family members who would never play video games lost their minds every time Wii Bowling together. Though it was a cross-generation port, Twilight Princess proved to be an amazing "core" game to balance things out.
Xbox 360 – Gears of War and Guitar Hero 2
Despite my lifelong loyalty to Nintendo up to that point, I grew to resent the Wii for not providing me with the core gaming experiences I was looking for. When I finally broke rank, I did so by picking up an Xbox 360 Elite with Gears of War and Guitar Hero 2.
At the time, Gears of War was the pinnacle of gaming graphics. I drooled over its HD visuals while blasting through its campaign many times over. Guitar Hero 2 melted our faces until Rock Band completely took over my life for a time.
PlayStation 3 – Uncharted and Little Big Planet
At the first ever convention I'd gone to, they had a great deal on a PlayStation 3 bundle. Though I've long-resisted the idea of owning any Sony console, I took the plunge on this deal with Uncharted and Little Big Planet. Nathan Drake's debut outing was a mediocre shooter and not indicative of how great that franchise would become over time. As for the latter, I still greatly despite it for its godawful jumping physics.
Nintendo 3DS – Super Street Fighter IV
It goes without saying that Super Street Fighter IV on the DS was not the best way to play. Touch controls broke the game. The console didn't really have a good control method for moving characters around the screen. And the behind-the-shoulder combat in that one extra mode was…jarring. All things considered, it could have been much worse. I still got some enjoyment out of it by virtue of being a hardcore Street Fighter IV fanboy, but it's not a title I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone.
Wii U – Nintendoland and New Super Mario Bros. U
The Nintendo Wii U failed to find many practical uses for the tablet controller. Nintendoland – as fleeting of an experience as it was – still stands as one of the best examples of how gaming in that format could work. On the other end of the spectrum was a ho-hum Super Mario 2D platformer during a time when the "new" had already worn off from this modern stretch of Mario platformers.
PlayStation 4 – Skylanders: Swap Force and Battlefield 4
I started off the last generation with my personal last hurrah with the Skylanders series in Swap Force. The gimmick this time was that you could swap the tops and bottoms of certain monsters to create new ones, though it really was an excuse to sell more toys. It was fine for what it was.
Battlefield 4 though was a massive bust. At launch, the game had a game-breaking bug that wouldn't allow you to save your campaign progress, even though the game had said it did. I tried to return it on the grounds of it being a broken game but to no avail. Traded it in and got Call of Duty: Ghosts instead. Not a great game, either, but at least it worked.
Xbox One – Titanfall
Even with all of the garbage that fell out of the Xbox One launch, I still wanted one solely for the opportunity to play Titanfall. Though I was disappointed by its lack of a campaign, its multiplayer action was fantastic!
Nintendo Switch – Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
A legendary game for what's become a legendary console. Breath of the Wild was a mostly-fantastic reimagining of what a Legend of Zelda game could be. Though I wish its dungeons featured more combat, I loved it for providing me with a wide open adventure where I was bound to run into something cool anywhere I went.
Whether you plan on getting one of the new consoles at launch or at a later date, I hope you grab it with games that truly capture your imagination. What are some of the games you plan on getting with the new consoles? And what are some of the most memorable games you've gotten with a new console?

Nice selection of games in there!
Jett October 29, 2020 / 10:44 AM
Thank you! Will you be diving in at launch for a PS5 or a new Xbox?
We have ordered an Xbox Series X! It has been the one we were saving for anyway and both of us use Xbox far more. I'm the only one who uses the PS4 and everything I want for PS5 so far is going to also be on PS4 so at the moment it isn't a priority. Maybe one day in the future for that one.
Congrats! Hope the Series X makes all your gaming dreams come true.

Field runners who received 'Strong Questions' by Jin Jung-kwon… Hong Jun-pyo, Yoo Seung-min leisurely, Choi Jae-hyung sweat
Home » News » Field runners who received 'Strong Questions' by Jin Jung-kwon… Hong Jun-pyo, Yoo Seung-min leisurely, Choi Jae-hyung sweat
Topics: #People's Power, AM, association ledger, interview, oriental professor, Presidential candidate, promise, questions, Seoul, sweat
Hong Jun-pyo (left), a member of the People's Power, participates in the 'People's Signal Public Interview' held at a studio in Geumcheon-gu, Seoul on the 9th and receives a question from the interviewer, Jin Joong-kwon, a former professor of Dongyang University. News 1
On the 9th, the presidential candidates for the People's Power had a 'strong interview' with Jin Joong-kwon, a former professor of Dongyang University, a representative progressive debater. Rep. Hong Jun-pyo and former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min, 're-election students', responded leisurely to the interviewer's sharp questions from start to finish, while 'novice politician' Choi Jae-hyung, former Auditor General, sweated. However, there was still no fierce competition between the presidential candidates because it was conducted through individual interviews rather than mutual discussions.
Hong Joon-pyo answered every question Jin Jung-kwon
The People's Power held a 'Public Signal Interview for Presidential Candidates' at a studio in Geumcheon-gu, Seoul on the same day. Former Prof. Jin, Kim Jun-il, CEO of Newstop, and former lawmaker Park Seon-young were interviewed as interviewers. Six other people, including former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol and former Jeju Governor Won Hee-ryong, will be interviewed the next day (10th).
The interviewer that drew the most attention on the day was Assemblyman Hong, the 'talkie-talker'. This is because a 'fireworks workshop' was expected as the social networking service (SNS) often had a verbal battle with Professor Jin. In fact, when Professor Jin pointed out that "the importance of public health has been highlighted after the novel coronavirus infection, and the closing of Jinju Medical Center during the Gyeongnam governor's time is a problem", Representative Hong said, "The medical center lost its function, so it was organized, but left-wing thinking. claim," he dismissed. Regarding Rep. Hong's past remarks, such as 'I hate girls from this university,' he said, "Isn't sexual harassment?
Rather, Rep. Hong said to former professor Jin and CEO Kim, who acted as interviewers, "These two are left-wingers. Did you have such people as interviewers in the party?" "It doesn't matter to me, but other candidates will eat shit." I also made a bet.

Yoo Seung-min and Jin Jung-kwon's 'Commitment to abolish the Leisure Department' Workshop
The question focused on whether the promise of 'abolition of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family' was appropriate for former lawmaker Yoo. Professor Jin said, "Have you ever talked to women in their 20s and 30s before claiming the abolition of the Ministry of Leisure, isn't it because they are riding on anti-feminism to drive (vote votes)?" Former Rep. Yoo said, "I have lived my life consistently as a gender egalitarian," and actively countered, "The creation of the Yangpyeong Committee under the direct control of the president was a promise I made four years ago."
When former professor Jin pointed out again, "Isn't there a problem with former lawmakers Yoo, Ha Tae-kyung, and Lee Jun-seok suddenly driving anti-feminism?" I gave my opinion, but then I didn't say anything, but now I don't know why." After the interview, former lawmaker Yoo complained, saying, "I spent half of my time talking about the abolition of the leisure department."

Jaehyung Choi pointed out "I can't answer properly"
Sharp questions were also poured out to former Director Choi. When former professor Jin asked a question, "Isn't it patriarchal over singing the national anthem on holidays with my family?" Choi replied, "Please look at it with love for the country rather than being patriarchal." Professor Jin also pointed out that Choi's promises were "ultra-light" (far-right).
CEO Kim asked, "I promised to build a small and medium-sized nuclear reactor, is it possible to build it near Seoul, which consumes the most electricity?" When former president Choi said, "I will review and tell you more," Kim said, "There was a controversy at the previous press conference because I couldn't give a proper answer.
The presidential candidate's interest in 'Suspected of accusing Yoon Seok-yeol'
After the interview, the attention of the presidential candidates was focused on former president Yoon Seok-yeol, the 'first-place candidate'.
Rep. Yoo met with reporters and criticized Yoon's press conference the day before, saying, "I don't seem to be very good at controlling my anger." He also pointed out that "the crooked media view that expressed the minor press as if it had no public credibility" was also pointed out. Rep. Hong emphasized, "If the allegations are true, Yoon may be legally responsible."

Death toll in immigrant smuggling case rises
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (WTXF/AP) - Several other people have been taken to hospitals. The driver of the truck was arrested, according to officials.
San Antonio police say a Walmart employee was approached in a parking lot by a person from the truck who was asking for water late Saturday night or early Sunday morning. Police say the employee gave the person the water and then called them and when they arrived they found the eight people dead in the back of the trailer.
Police say they checked surveillance video, which shows vehicles had arrived and picked up other people from the tractor-trailer. They say they're "looking at a human trafficking crime."
Police say the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is involved in the investigation into what happened.
After daybreak Sunday, the truck remained at the side and toward the back of the store. The scene is marked off with yellow crime-scene tape and with officers and patrol cars. The trailer of the 18-wheeler truck has an Iowa license plate. Neither it nor the truck's cab appear to have markings.


74 posts categorized "Young Vic"
Prompted by the Daily Telegraph's rather uninspiring and quite frankly lazy list of upcoming theatre treats - three plays which have already opened? Oh come on - here's my list of what I'm already really excited about seeing in the first half of 2018*.
2. Julius Caesar, Bridge Theatre - Ben Whishaw playing Brutus alongside David Morrissey and Michelle Fairley and the chance to mingle with the Roman mob? Already booked to see it twice.
3. The Brothers Size, Young Vic - Written by Tarell Alvin McCraney who also penned Oscar best picture winner Moonlight (which I loved) and starring Sope Dirisu who was brilliant in One Night In Miami at the Donmar and the RSC's Coriolanus.
Josette Bushell-Mingo is dressed as Nina Simone, a three piece band on stage plays out a rhythm and she describes the build up to her concert at Harlem Cultural Festival in 1969. It is vivid and evocative and you can almost feel the excitement of the occasion.
It also makes an interesting framing device - the piece finishes with Josette performing a mini-concert of Nina Simone songs - for a journey into Nina Simone's songs and the context behind the lyrics. But this isn't merely a history lesson, it is also a lesson in how little has changed.
When Josette unpicks the lyrics of key songs giving back the original meaning, she interweaves them with her own story and accounts of recent racist attacks in the US, UK and beyond. When Nina Simone wrote Mississippi Goddam it was a response to racist killings in Mississippi and a 'f*ck you' to white society. The message was clear then and in telling the story in both a historical and modern context it shines a light on how far society has and hasn't come in 50 odd years.
To drive home the point Josette turns a metaphorical gun back on the audience imagining a scenario where it is white people being shot simply because of the colour of their skin. It is a simple but powerful device that makes an important point, several important points. That injustice, inequality and racism are still alive and the revolution Nina Simone sang about and hoped for still has a long way to go.
Hands up all those who remember Tom Hiddleston taking a shower on stage during Coriolanus at the Donmar Warehouse? Well Tom Hiddleston and that production hasn't got anything on Jack O'Connell and the Young Vic's Cat On A Hot Tin Roof.
The shower is a permanent part of the opulent, minimalist, bedroom set for Tennessee Williams' classic play; thick black carpet, gold walls, black dressing table and chair, black bed with just some fresh flowers on the night stands for colour.
Right at the front of the stage, on the carpet, are six bottles of whisky, a bag of ice and some glasses, towards the back and to one side is the stem of the shower. There is no screen, or shower tray it grows out of the carpet and it becomes something to lean on or sit against as well as a shower. Rather randomly it reminded me of the lamp post in the Chronicles of Narnia - probably because the characters sometimes gather around it.
As the lights come up Brick (Jack O'Connell) is sat naked, under the flow of water (yes it runs straight into the carpet to the delight of the stage manager I'm sure), while his wife Maggie (Sienna Miller) talks incessantly about nothing and everything.
It is Brick's family home and preparations are underway for Big Daddy's (Colm Meaney) 65th birthday party but there is more than just blowing out candles on the cake at stake. Big Daddy is a rich land owner who's just had a cancer scare and there are ambitions and expectations among the wider family which, it quickly becomes clear, has led to rivalries. This isn't the Walton's.
I'm going to preface this piece by pointing out that I saw a preview performance and given the nature of the production there may be an element of tightening up. Of course in prefacing this way I'm hinting that I had problems and I did, some may be resolved before the official opening next week, some might not but as this was the performance I paid to see, I can only write about my experience and impressions of the play as it was performed.
Georg Buchner's original play, which he started writing in the 1830s and never completed, isn't one I'm familiar with. In this version by Jack Thorne for the Old Vic, the action has moved from provincial Germany to 1980s cold war Berlin. Orphan Frank Woyzeck (Voy-tzeck) is a British soldier who is living in a cheap flat above an abattoir with his Catholic girlfriend Marie (Sarah Greene) with whom he has a baby. Money is tight - military digs are out of the equation as they aren't married - and Frank volunteers to take part in drug trial to earn extra so they can move somewhere better.
At the start we find him a gentle soul, devoted to Marie but it is a devotion that grows increasingly obsessive. He isn't much liked among his military colleagues after an incident on a previous tour in Belfast and as the play unfolds we learn more of that and his past.
One of the key problems with the play, for me, is that the moment Frank signs up for the drug trials I could see the rest of the story mapped out and it felt like it took too long to get there. Frank becomes increasingly unwell, mentally and physically and it takes its toll on his relationships. The more unstable he becomes the more he clings to Marie and the more their relationship becomes a crutch.
REVIEW It's about 20 minutes into Joe Hill-Gibbin's A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Young Vic and I'm starting to wonder if the set designer and wardrobe department have fallen out. The entire stage is a thick mud pit and a lot of the cast is wearing white or pale colours.
At first I thought the theme was going to be 'damp summer music festival' as there were wellies and summer skirts and the odd rucksack but no, it wasn't that. Some of the cast certainly weren't dressed for a festival, more for an evening in the city and most quickly dispensed with wellies and shoes anyway.
Then about half way through the two hour running time I started to worry that this was just a convoluted way of having some mud wrestling. There was a lot of rolling around in the dirt and the fights between the four lovers got more physical but fortunately it didn't properly go there. It makes you think 'yuk', or 'that must cold and horrible' or 'a bugger to wash out'. It doesn't make you think about the play.
The silver lining of the production were the mechanicals and Puck. Leo Bill's shirt-less, pot-bellied Bottom in skinny jeans with tights on his head was a beacon of sunny mirth as were the rest of the troupe. Aaron Heffernan's Thisbe was a masterclass in acting bad acting and Lloyd Hutchinson's Puck had an amusing disdain for proceedings throughout.
This time of year needs a bit of fun and sparkle from theatreland and the Young Vic's Once In A Lifetime fits the bill perfectly.
The story is about an artistic gold rush; Hollywood's first ever talking motion picture is a massive hit and there is a scramble to produce more. The problem is that Hollywood's actors are silent movie stars not used to speaking on camera. Down on their luck variety performers Jerry (Kevin Bishop), May (Claudie Blakley) and nice but dim George (John Marquez) spy a business opportunity and jump on a cross-country train to California to set up a speech school.
On the way they meet celebrity gossip columnist Helen Hobart (Lucy Cohu) whom they wheedle into helping them with an introduction to movie mogul Herman Glogaur (Harry Enfield).
Cue what is part farce, part satire on theatre and Hollywood types who look down on each other and where guile rather than talent, luck rather than intelligence gets you ahead. It is a shallow, glamourous and opulent world full of champagne and sequins (mainly on Lucy Cohu's amazing dresses) where there are so many egos and administrative layers that it swallows people (and money) up.

I just blew some canned air into my slot, and it now works just fine.
Looking at the software update log, the SuperDrive Firmware Update 2.1 end of June would certainly be suspect, but it has definitely worked since then. I suggest downloading and apply Apple's combined system update for your system to see if that fixes this problem.MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-846: Firmware Revision: FA0G Interconnect: ATAPI Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported) Barring a fuzzball somewhere obvious or something of that ilk, the slot loaders -- and optical drives in general -- are usually more effort and cost to repair than -- once Traded in the Memorex Spindle for a Sony spindle (as I can't find HP DVD's in stores any more)….

The solution is a good optical cleaning!! Also, if you are using a burner which supports higher burning speeds than your disk media it will probably overrun the disk. And, for the first time in ages I have been able to burn discs again! Seems to have got sidetracked with video / the wrong DVD/CD brand (I don't think this anything to do with it!) and 'old' systems etc.
