Luis Guzmán is a Puerto Rican actor. Known for his long and distinguished career that includes mostly character roles, the actor has managed to make a mark for himself in the industry. Though he was initially not interested in acting, he later pursued the craft as a hobby and became an active street theater artist. Luis's life changed after an old friend of his asked him to audition for an upcoming TV series. The project later resulted in 'Miami Vice,' and Luis earned a significant role in it. This paved his path to the mainstream industry. Even though for a significant number of years in his career, Luis has played thugs, sidekicks, and police officers, he earned a few lead parts and roles with relatively longer screen presence later. In addition to Luis's acting skills, his brooding expression makes him noticeable even if he plays brief roles. As he moved further toward the mainstream industry, Luis became a favorite of film directors Steven Soderbergh and Paul Thomas Anderson, who later played a crucial role in shaping his career. In his formative years, Luis mostly appeared in TV productions. He also played varied characters in his initial days. However, as the 1990s progressed, the actor gained prominence in the film fraternity and appeared in movies of a range of genres, including a few romantic comedies. Luis has earned a few awards and nominations for his remarkable work in the industry. In addition to acting, the actor has experimented with film production, too.
T V & Movie Producers
Puerto Rican Men
Luis was born on August 28, 1956, in Cayey, Puerto Rico, to Rosa, a hospital worker. His stepfather, Benjamin Cardona, worked as a TV repairman. Luis grew up in New York City's Greenwich Village and the surrounding Lower East Side neighborhood.
After graduating from 'City College,' Luis began working as a youth counselor at the 'Henry Street Settlement House,' a socio-cultural center on the Lower East Side. Additionally, he performed at the 'Nuyorican Poets Cafe,' where he often met Cuban actor and playwright Miguel Piñero. Luis then became serious toward the craft and began participating in street theater. He soon earned his debut mainstream role.
Virgo Actors
Puerto Rican Actors
Luis started his journey as an actor with a minor role of a prisoner in the 1977 film 'Short Eyes,' which was based on Miguel Piñero's play of the same name. However, he did not get any project until 1983, when he appeared in the relatively notable role of 'Jose' in 'Variety.'
Two years later, Luis made his TV debut in a guest appearance in the 'CBS' crime drama 'The Equalizer.' The same year, he appeared in two episodes of another crime drama, 'Miami Vice.'
After numerous brief appearances in series and films, Luis's hard work and persistence paid off when he received accolades for the 1997 drama film 'Boogie Nights.' He played a nightclub owner named 'Maurice TT Rodriguez' in the film and shared the 'Florida Film Critics Circle Award' with the cast of the film. Luis also shared a 'Screen Actors Guild Award' nomination with the ensemble cast.
In 1998, Luis began his run in the 'HBO' drama 'Oz,' which featured him as 'Raoul "El Cid" Hernandez' in 12 episodes. He earned an 'Independent Spirit Award' 'Best Supporting Male Actor' nomination for playing 'Eduardo Roel' in the 1999 crime film 'The Limey.'
Luis appeared as 'Lance' in the 2002 romantic comedy–drama 'Punch-Drunk Love,' for which he received the 'Imagen Award' for the 'Best Supporting Actor.' He won the same award in the 'Best Actor' category for playing the lead, 'Ismael,' in the 2007 Puerto Rican film 'Maldeamores' (English title: 'Lovesickness').
In 2008, Luis was featured in a light-hearted short titled 'I Kicked Luis Guzman in the Face.' Unfortunately, the film was banned in 147 countries, as the plot was perceived to be offensive to a certain group of people.
Luis earned a prominent TV role, as 'Rene Calderon,' in 16 episodes of the comedy–drama 'How to Make It in America.' His performance in the comic character earned him a 'NAMIC Visions' award. He has lent his voice to a few films, too. Luis voiced the character 'Chucho' in the 2008 family comedy 'Beverly Hills Chihuahua,' 'Angelo' in 'Turbo' (2013), and the late professional baseball player Lefty Gomez in the 2014 American animated drama film 'Henry & Me.'
Luis was nominated for the 'ALMA Award' for the 'Best Supporting Actor' for his performance in the 2009 action thriller 'The Taking of Pelham 123.' The film featured him as a hijacker named 'Phil Ramos.' The character was initially named 'Harold Longman,' previously portrayed by 'Martin Balsam' in the 1974 version and by 'Richard Schiff' in 1998.
In between working for films and TV, Luis made a few music video appearances, too. He was part of 'Gorilla' by Bruno Mars and '1-800-273-8255' by Logic. The actor has also worked in a number of TV movies. Some of them are 'Quiet Killer,' 'In The Shadow of a Killer,' 'Innocent Blood,' 'Double Deception,' 'The Burning Season,' 'On Seventh Avenue,' 'Pronto,' 'Counter Culture,' and 'Thin Air.'
He served as the executive producer in two films: the 2015 comedy 'Puerto Ricans in Paris' (in which he also had a starring role) and the unreleased action comedy 'Aztec Warrior.' He played the titular role in the latter.
Luis played the recurring role of 'Jesse Salander' in the 'CBS' medical drama 'Code Black.' He essayed the role in 47 episodes, and that has been his longest association with any TV series. He portrayed José Gonzalo Rodríguez Gacha, a Colombian drug lord and one of the leaders of the infamous 'Medellín Cartel,' who worked with the popular drug mafia lord Pablo Escobar, in the 'Netflix' series 'Narcos.' The series was based on the life of Pablo. Luis's character was introduced in the first season of the series.
Puerto Rican Film & Theater Personalities
Luis is married to Angelita Galarza-Guzman and has six children: Cemi Guzman, Yoruba Briggs-Guzman, Yemaya Briggs-Guzman, Luna Guzman, Jace O'Flynn Guzman, and Margarita Briggs-Guzman. He lives in Sutton, Vermont.
Luis was involved in the promotional campaign for Senator Bernie Sanders's 2016 US presidential run.
The talented actor is a multilingual and can speak more than 70 languages fluently. Interestingly, Spanish is not one of them. Luis was offered to be part of 'Most Interesting Man in the World,' an advertising campaign for 'Dos Equis' beer. He turned down the offer, saying he "doesn't do biopics."
Luis had also rejected Steven Spielberg when he had approached him for playing Abraham Lincoln in 'Lincoln.' He recommended Daniel Day-Lewis for the role instead.
The famous 'Saturday Night Live' sketch for 'Bill Brasky' was created for Luis. A talented footballer, too, he won the 'Heisman Trophy' in 1977.
Luis has not watched any of his movies since 1982.

Q: How to print, without the Page Setup Dialog? I'm trying to print something with Air. Now everything works, but the Page Setup format shows up everytime. What I would like to achieve, is that the standard printer and standard paper size gets selected automatically. So no dialog pops up.
I found
var myPrintJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
     if (myPrintJob.supportsPageSetupDialog)
     {
         myPrintJob.showPageSetupDialog();
     }
but this just gives a possibility to actually show it. Is there a way to NOT show it?
Thank you!

A: Take a look here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS059b243ca571213c1e18d17a124d9fca6d8-8000.html The showPageSetupDialog function is optional so you can just not call it. If you want to change the parameters of the print job in the code see the "Changing print settings" section of the link above.
Hope it helps.

Q: Cannot resolve system property when using referencing it using jboss-cli I am attempting to flush a JNDI datasource using the jboss-cli, but the datasource is defined using a ${jndi.prefix} variable, and the CLI can't seem to be able to resolve it.
Here is my datasource in standalone.xml:
<datasource jndi-name="${jndi.prefix}/CORE" pool-name="${jndi.prefix}/CORE_Pool" enabled="true" use-java-context="true" use-ccm="true">
    <connection-url>jdbc:sqlserver://10.222.255.100;DatabaseName=CORE</connection-url>
    <driver>sqlserver</driver>
    <pool>
        <min-pool-size>1</min-pool-size>
        <max-pool-size>10</max-pool-size>
        <prefill>true</prefill>
    </pool>
    <security>
        <user-name>CORE_DBO</user-name>
        <password>password</password>
    </security>
</datasource>

and jndi.prefix is defined in system-properties:
<system-properties>
    <property name="jndi.prefix" value="java:"/>
</system-properties>

I can see it using the CLI, but when trying to resolve it, I am told that it is unrecognized:
[standalone@localhost:9990 /] cd system-property
[standalone@localhost:9990 system-property] cd jndi.prefix
[standalone@localhost:9990 system-property=jndi.prefix] ls
value=java:
[standalone@localhost:9990 system-property=jndi.prefix] /subsystem=datasources/data-source=${jndi.prefix}\/CORE_Pool/:read-resource
Unrecognized system property jndi.prefix

I have tried swapping the ${jndi.prefix} in the datasource with the literal value java: and that worked, but we have tons of environments that would have to be updated, so I am not fond of that solution.
Why can't the CLI resolve this variable when it is clearly defined?

A: The system properties you can use in the CLI aren't the ones defined in your Wildfly configuration :

System property values used in management CLI commands must have already been defined in order to be resolved. You must either pass in a properties file (--properties=/path/to/file.properties) or property value pairs (-Dkey=value) when starting your management CLI instance. The properties file uses a standard KEY=VALUE syntax.

(source for EAP, but it's most probably the same for Wildfly)


What's new on St. Barth? Some recent openings for you to try.
Winter in St. Barth passed by so quickly. The weather was perfect, the island was hopping and the ambience as wonderful as ever. I am fortunate to be able to spend so much time here and thought I should share some of the new things that I have recently discovered on St. Barth.
Barts Food Lounge is located on the cobblestone street in Gustavia and has a new concept for the off-season. They converted the Victoire boutique into a lovely lounge area with a fully stocked bar and a cute little room with board games for you to play.
Barts Food Lounge has a room with board games.
The indoor seating at Barts Food Lounge is perfect for casual evenings.
The evening menu is strictly limited to a variety of delicious risotto dishes delectably created by chef Angelique Schnepp.
One small portion of the risotto with chicken and curry at 10 euros was so enjoyable and enough for me. My husband ordered two small portions, the black risotto with scallops and squid (12 euros) followed by a second risotto with shrimp. He loved them both. If you choose to order the large portion, the prices range from 20 to 24 euros. For lunch, they offer salads, a wrap, pasta and a burger. If you are lucky enough to be going to St. Barth in the off-season, you will be glad that you tried it. Closed on Sundays.
Connie Walsh and her husband Mike came down to see us so that Connie could do some inspections with me and try out new places. (We are both Walshes but not related). We had a site inspection at the 5-Star Manapany hotel in Anse des Cayes. The hotel is part of the B Signature Hotels and Resorts collection and was just awarded the Eco – Resort of The Year by the 2019 Hotel & Lodge Business & Meetings Awards committee.
The Manapany is an Eco resort and grows its own fruits and vegetables.
The hotel produces its own water and only electric cars are used to get around the 4.2- acre property. No chemicals are used in cleaning and maintenance, only steam and natural products. All hotel towels are made from bamboo, with only natural fibers. The 43 suites are casually designed. Some sit directly on the beach, while others are located up many stairways along the hillside and feature sea views.
A Beachside Suite at the Manapany.
La Boutique, Atelier de Couture, owned by designers Cedric Vernon Fahey and Rodolphe Ayer offers a custom-made collection beautifully hand painted materials. No need to be a hotel guest, just go for your fitting shortly after you arrive in St. Barth and it will be ready for you before your departure.
The Atlelier de Coutre boutique at the Manapany offers custom-made clothing.
Yoga anyone? The hotel offers morning yoga sessions on a quiet deck overlooking the water every day. The spa, with its adult-only pool, is nearby.
Following our site inspection at the Manapany, our husbands joined Connie and me for a toes in the sand delicious lunch.
lil' Rock Beach Club sits directly on St. Jean Beach and opened just time for the 2019 Bucket, too. Located several feet away from Pearl Beach restaurant and bar, they have tables under palm trees as well as a few tables under a roof and further away from the beach, but they give the best shade.
The St. Jean Beachfront restaurant lil' Rock Beach Club features umbrellaed tables in the sand and a wonderful view of the sea.
We usually go to St. Jean beach because of the breeze. On Saturdays and Sundays, the beach bar/restaurants are extremely busy, and the entertainment can be quite loud, so we decided to try li" Rock on a Monday. They offer valet parking, but you can also park at the public lot and walk up the beach or the sidewalk. When we walked in, one of my favorite singers, Soley was there and singing softly – how refreshing! The menu is varied, and they offer Tapas from 3:30 to 5:30. So far, they are only open for lunch.
Repeat visitors to St. Barth know that there aren't many stores that sell liquor. There are plenty of wine stores (it's a French island, after all), but most do not carry much liquor, if any. I wondered what was being built on an empty lot that is on the upper road that leads out of Gustavia. More boutiques? No, it's Zagury's, a liquor store and then some. Owned by the American Store on the block below, it just opened, so we went in to investigate.
Do you like to entertain at home or enjoy cocktails and munchies before heading out to dinner? Just stop by Zagury's and choose your libation, wine and/or Champagne. It is a nice addition to the St. Barth scene.
Try the olive bar and other delicacies at Zagury's.
In addition to liquor, Zagurys' has a wonderful selection of Champagne.
I'll have some other interesting news in my next blog.

These are some lies we made up about Weston.
An extraterrestrial vacationer from another part of the galaxy has supposedly been spotted on frequent instances in Bless Park at midnight hiding a cadaver by a large rock.
The ghost of an old Indian chief can frequently be perceived struggling out of Neirs Slough covered in dirty water before sunrise. No matter what, it's a creepy spirit that you shouldn't go searching for.
A space alien from another world may be noticed repeatedly in a mobile home in Weston.
The ghost of an elderly cleaning lady has every now and then been observed redistributing orbs around mid stream in Plum Creek. Several of the residents argue this ghost can be the spirit of a person who lived here who died here in Weston some time ago. One thing's for sure, it's sure a bloodcurdling ghost that should be left alone.
A dark rat that transformed into a female is occasionally made out at night scrutinizing Salt Creek Valley in detail.

ANTONIO GUEVARA, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. THE INSULAR COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS, Defendant-Appellee.
Williams, Ferrier & SyCip for Appellant.
Attorney-General Avanceña for Appellee.
1. ALIENS; CHINESE EXCLUSION AND DEPORTATION; AUTHORITY OF BOARD OF SPECIAL INQUIRY. — Held: Following the decisions of this court in the cases of Chieng Ah Sui v. Collector of Customs (22 Phil. Rep., 361; 239 U.S., 139); Lee Jua v. Collector of Customs (32 Phil. Rep., 24) and many others, that the board of special inquiry was fully authorized and empowered to inquire into the right of Chinese aliens to enter the territory of the United States.
2. ID.; ID.; ID.; PERSONAL APPEARANCE OF APPLICANT. — Held: That in a proceeding for deportation under the Chinese Exclusion Act, upon the issue as to whether the person seeking admission into territory of the United States is a person of the Chinese race, his appearance may be taken into consideration by the board of special inquiry. (U.S. Hing Chang, C. C. A., 19.)
3. ID.; ID.; NATURE OF PROCEEDINGS. — Held: That proceedings for the deportation of a Chinese person, under the deportation Act, are civil and not criminal actions, and the laws of evidence pertaining to civil actions govern.
4. ID.; ID.; APPEALS TO COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS. — Held: In deportation proceedings, it is sufficient if the Collector of Customs makes a review of the testimony presented to the board of special inquiry. He is not obliged to see or hear the witnesses. The law provides that an appeal from the decision of the board of special inquiry may be taken to the Collector of Customs might, if he deemed it advisable, hear the proof himself, yet it is sufficient if he makes an examination of the evidence adduced before the board of special inquiry. The law does not require him to see or hear the witnesses. His jurisdiction is an appellate jurisdiction.
5. ID.; ID.; ID.; ABUSE OF AUTHORITY. — Held: That a mere refusal by the proper authorities to allow an alien to enter territory of the United States is not an abuse of authority. The courts can not review the weight or admissibility of the evidence on the question whether an alien was unlawfully in the country, and a decision to that effect by the department of customs, supported by any evidence, is conclusive. (Ex parte Chin Hin, 227 Fed. Rep., 131.)
6. ID.; ID.; BURDEN OF PROOF. — Held: That a Chinese person claiming to have been born in territory of the United States has the burden of proof to establish such fact, to the satisfaction of the department of customs. The burden is upon a Chinese person who claims to be a citizen of the United States, or of its territories, to show by affirmative proof, that he was born within such territory. The law permits the examining officers or board to examine the applicant for admission, and such other witnesses as may be presented, and to decide upon such testimony whether or not the applicants is entitled to enter. Authority to examine into the facts implies the discretion to decide, and, unless it is clearly proved that the discretion was abused, the courts will refuse to take jurisdiction for the purpose of determining the question of the right of an alien to enter the territory of the United States. (Tan Chin Hin v. Collector of Customs, 27 Phil. Rep., 521.)
JOHNSON, J. :
It appears from the record that the plaintiff and appellant arrived at the port of Manila, together with twenty-five aliens, on the steamship Taisang, on or about the 16th of September, 1915, and requested permission to enter the Philippine Islands. The plaintiff was taken before a board of special inquiry and an examination was held concerning his right to enter the Philippine Islands. A number of witnesses were examined, at the close of which examination said board rendered a decision in which they found:jgc:chanrobles.com.ph
"That the detained (the plaintiff) is a full-blooded Chinese person, using this means to gain admission unlawfully into the Philippine Islands; that he is a subject of the Republic of China, coming to the Philippine Islands without the certificate required by law for the admission of Chinese. He is accordingly refused landing."cralaw virtua1aw library
The plaintiff being informed of the conclusion of the board appealed to the Collector of Customs who, on the 29th of September, 1915, rendered a decision in which he said:jgc:chanrobles.com.ph
"After examining the evidence presented before the board of special inquiry and considering all of the facts and circumstances of the case, together with the arguments offered by counsel, and being fully advised in the premises, it is adjudged and decided by the undersigned that said appeal be overruled and denied; the decision of the board of special inquiry that this immigrant is a Chinese person and not entitled to admission into the Philippine Islands and is not the Antonio Guevara, a native of the Philippine Islands, whom he is represented to be, appearing to be proper and sustained by the evidence and all the facts and circumstances of the case, as shown by the record of the proceedings; the said Antonio Guevara is therefore refused landing, and it is hereby ordered that he be returned to his port of embarcation, on the next sailing of the vessel that brought him to the Philippine Islands or another vessel of the same line."cralaw virtua1aw library
On the 2d of October, 1915, the plaintiff, through his attorney, presented a petition for the writ of habeas corpus in the Court of First Instance of the city of Manila, alleging that he was being illegally held and deprived of his liberty by the Collector of Customs at the city of Manila. Upon the presentation of said petition, an order to show cause was issued upon Respondent. An answer was duly presented by the respondent, through the Attorney-General, on the 4th of October, 1915.
Upon the issue presented by the petition and answer, and the record made by the Collector of Customs, the question was submitted to the Honorable George R. Harvey, judge, who, in a very carefully prepared opinion, reached the conclusion that there had been no abuse of discretion on the part of the immigration authorities, denied the petition for the writ of habeas corpus, and remanded the petitioner to the custody of the Insular Collector of Customs, with costs against the said petitioner.
From that decision the petitioner appealed to this court and made the following assignments of error.
"The lower court erred:jgc:chanrobles.com.ph
"1. When it overruled appellant's motion to strike from the files the return of the respondent to the order to show cause why the writ should not issue.
"2. When it found that the board which heard the matter at the custom house was a legal board and lawfully qualified to hear and determine the right of this appellant to enter the Philippine Islands.
"3. When it found that there was any legal evidence upon which the conclusions of the board could be lawfully based.
"4. When it did not find that board and the Insular Collector of Customs had abused the discretion, power, and authority in them reposed when they refused this appellant a landing in the Philippine Islands.
"5. When it did not find that the decision of the board and of the Insular Collector of Customs, on appeal therefrom, were based upon an erroneous interpretation of the law and, therefore, null and void.
"6. When it did not examine the record and the testimony taken at the customhouse and tender a decision thereon instead of contenting itself with a finding that there was no abuse of authority on the part of the immigration authorities.
"7. When it did not find that the Insular Collector of Customs and the immigration authorities had abused the discretion, power, and authority in them reposed, when the said Insular Collector of Customs rendered his decision on appeal herein without having seen all of the testimony introduced before the board of special inquiry, and upon which the said board based its decision.
"8. When it refused to issue the writ.
"9. When it found Antonio Guevara not entitled to enter the Philippine Islands.
"10. When it remanded Antonio Guevara to the Insular Collector of Customs for deportation."cralaw virtua1aw library
With reference to the first and second assignments of error, the question presented by them have been so frequent decided by this court against the contention of the appellant that we deem it unnecessary to discuss them again. (Lee Jua v. Collector of Customs, 32 Phil. Rep., 24 and cases cited; Chieng Ah Sui v. Collector of Customs, 22 Phil. Rep., 361; [239 U.S., 139] decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, November 29, 1915.)
With reference to the third assignment of error it may be said that, considering the conflicting character of the evidence adduced during the trial of the cause together with the personal appearance of the plaintiff, we are of the opinion that the board had sufficient evidence before it to justify its conclusion. In a proceeding for deportation under the Chinese Exclusion Act, upon the issue as to whether the person seeking admission into territory of the United States is a person of the Chinese race, his appearance may be taken into consideration by the commissioner or judge, and persons who state that, from practical experience and knowledge of racial characteristics and peculiarities, they are able to identify Chinese persons are competent witnesses. (U.S. v. Hing Chang, C. C. A., 19.) Proceedings for the deportation of a Chinese person, under the Deportation Act, are Civil and not criminal actions, and the laws of evidence pertaining to civil actions govern.
The plaintiff claimed that he was the son of a Filipina woman and a Chinese father. The plaintiff swore that he was born in the Philippine Islands in the municipality of Malabon (See Exhibit A, page 21.) The board of special inquiry expressly found that the plaintiff had the appearance of being a full-blood Chinese person.
What has been said with reference to the third assignment of error is sufficient to show, in view of the numerous decision not only of this court but of the Federal Courts of the United States, that there exists no reason for modifying the decision of the lower court upon the grounds assigned in the fourth and fifth assignments of error.
With reference to the sixth assignment of error, the court was justified in denying the writ of habeas corpus until it had been shown positively that the department of customs had abused its authority.
With reference to the seventh assignment of error, it may be said that there is no law requiring the proof to be adduced before the Collector of Customs. It is the duty of the board of special inquiry to make an investigation and to hear whatever proof the parties desire to present. It is sufficient if the Collector of Customs makes a review of the testimony presented to the board of special inquiry. He is not obliged to see or hear the witnesses. The law provides that an appeal from the decision of the board of special inquiry may be taken to the Collector of Customs. While, no doubt, the Collector of Customs might, if he deemed it advisable, hear the proof himself, yet it is sufficient if he makes an examination of the evidence adduced before the board of special inquiry. The law does not require him to see or hear the witnesses. His jurisdiction is an appellate jurisdiction.
The appellant seems to assume that, because he would have reached a different conclusion from the evidence adduced, therefore the Collector of Customs committed an error in not admitting him into the territory of the Philippine Islands. A mere refusal on the part of the Collector of Customs to believe even the sworn statements of witnesses, in Chinese exclusion cases, is no error. Taking into consideration the conflict between the declarations of the various witnesses, especially between the declarations of the plaintiff and his alleged mother, it is our opinion that the Collector of Customs in this case especially was justified in not believing the testimony of the appellant or that of his mother. A mere refusal by the proper authorities to allow an alien to enter territory of the United States is not an abuse of authority. The courts can not review the weight or admissibility of the evidence on the question whether an alien was unlawfully in the country, and a decision to that effect by the department of customs, supported by any evidence, is conclusive. (Ex parte Chin Hin, 227 Fed. Rep., 131.) A Chinese person claiming to have been born within the territory of the United States has the burden of proof to establish such fact to the satisfaction of the department of customs. The burden is upon a Chinese person who claims to be a citizen of the United States, or of its territories, to show, by affirmative proof, that he was born within said territory. (U.S. v. Hom Lim, 223 Fed. Rep., 520; Fong Ping Ngar v. U.S., 223 Fed. Rep., 523.) The law permits the examining officers or board to examine the applicant for admission, and such other witnesses as may be presented, and to decide upon such testimony whether or not the applicant is entitled to enter. Authority to examination into the facts implies the discretion to decide and, unless it is clearly proved that the discretion was abused, the courts will refuse to take jurisdiction for the purpose of determining the question of the right of an alien to enter the territory of the United States. (Tan Chin Hin v. Collector of Customs, 27 Phil. Rep., 521.)
The Honorable George R. Harvey, judge, in a very carefully prepared opinion, after a careful examination of the evidence adduced before the Collector of Customs, reached the conclusion that the department of customs had not abused the discretion and power vested in it by the law, and denied the petition for the writ of habeas corpus, and remanded the petitioner to the custody of the Collector of Customs for deportation.
After a careful examination of the record brought to this court, we find no reason for changing or modifying the sentence of the lower court. The same is therefore hereby affirmed, with costs. So ordered.
Torres, Moreland, Trent and Araullo, JJ., concur.


My name is Cora. I grew up on a farm in Havelock, ON. I am a stay at home mom of 3. When my oldest was 7 months I got pregnant with my 2nd and immediately thought I do NOT want two in diapers. So I starting putting him on the potty and researching about potty training early. I then found out about EC and later Andrea's Go Diaper Free book. I caught a few pees and poops and was amazed when he crawled over to the potty, tapped on the top and peed when I put him on at only 9 months old! Only 2 months after I started! I then realized that babies know the feeling of when they need to pee and how to signal their need before 18 months.
My 2 oldest were trained at 18 and 17 months starting at 7 and 3 months. My newest edition is only 3 weeks old and I started 2 weeks ago! Her signals for poop are fussiness and then she gets a blank stare and goes still. I find it easy with my 3rd even though I have 2 toddlers running around but having them both trained is a lot easier. I wish I had started from birth with the other two.
If you would like to learn more about Elimination Communication, learning your babies signals, saving diapers, saving money, saving the landfills, connecting with your baby in a different way then I can help you do all of these things!
I host free support groups near my house and in Peterborough. I also have EC and Potty Training classes, at home private consultations, private phone consultations, and group consultations.

In the summer of 2011, I read a feature story in the local paper about debut romance author Katie Lane. Since the book editor for the paper wasn't a fan of romance, I was intrigued. Sooo, I one-clicked Going Cowboy Crazy. By the end of page one, I was Katie's biggest fan. Her combination of humor, heartache, and sexy keeps me up all night! Yes, she's one of those authors.
You've said you were at the point of giving up on your dreams of publication when you received the call. Can you tell us about that?
I don't know if any writer ever truly gives up on their dreams of publication. But there was a point when I had decided to put my dreams on hold. My husband had been carrying the financial burden, and it was time for me to get a real job that paid me money. So that night, I said a prayer of thanks to God for giving me the opportunity to pursue my writing dream, and the next day, I planned to go job hunting. But before I could, the phone rang and I was offered a deal. Isn't life wonderfully crazy like that? You can imagine the whooping and celebrating that went on.
That first book, Going Cowboy Crazy, put you on the bestseller lists. Your humor made me a Katie Lane addict. Where does the funny come from? Have you considered doing standup?
<happy blushes> Thank you so much. My mother was the funniest person in the world—Lucille Ball funny. She could crack me up with just one kooky look. I try to channel her when I'm writing humorous stories. And no, I don't think I could do standup comedy. I would get too hurt if people didn't laugh at my jokes. I much prefer to be funny in my books, then if I bomb with the reader, I never know. And speaking of my Deep in the Heart of Texas series, I have a new story about the crazy town coming out June 1st. My Big Fat Texas Wedding! Here's a quick sneak peek:
Everything's Bigger in Texas . . .
Super Bowl Champ, Austin Reeves rolls into his hometown of Bramble expecting a big ol' hero's welcome. Instead, he gets the big ol' cold shoulder from a bunch of pissed off Texans. Completely baffled, he turns to the only person willing to talk to him—the shy girl he knew in high school. But that shy girl has become a hot woman with a fetish for riding crops . . . and soon, Austin will be begging for a long, hard ride.
Mia Cates is ready to get over her crush on Austin—especially when he's about to tie the knot with another woman. But when he struts back into town with his lazy smile, she'll find herself playing a game of touch football that could lead to a broken heart . . . unless, she can get up the courage to lay claim to her star quarterback and have her own Big Fat Texas Wedding.
You seem to be a natural born storyteller, on paper and in real life. Seriously, I could listen to your stories forever. Could you tell us about the first story you wrote in elementary school and where the heck you got the idea for it?
My fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Hart, wanted the entire class to write a story from an inanimate object's point of view. She gave us the object she wanted us to write about, and I got a woman's skirt. I just started writing, and the story of a skinny woman who buys a big skirt came together. When I read the story aloud and came to the part where the skirt falls off and the woman shows her underwear, the entire class laughed and I was hooked on writing.
Tell us about your new series, the Overnight Billionaire. Where did you dream up the idea of joining those delicious men with the lingerie company, French Kiss?
Most of my ideas for books start with a question. For the Overnight Billionaire series, the question came after my daughter and I had just watched an episode of Duck Dynasty. Jokingly, she said, "What about writing your new series about the Duck guys?" Something clicked in my head. What if three southern, hillbilly brothers inherited a lingerie company like Victoria Secrets? The rest is history.
One last question. What's the most unusual thing you've done for research?
I don't know about unusual, but the funniest thing I did for research was go to this country bar in Odessa, Texas. The owner came out, and when she found out I was writing a romance book, she sat down and told me the naughtiest stories about the bar patrons. Of course, I would never write about real people. <clears throat> But it was so much fun sitting there and getting to listen. I discovered that people love to tell their stories.
Thank you, Katie!
A Billionaire After Dark
With endless wealth comes irresistible temptation . . .
It's an undisputed fact that Nash Beaumont is the hottest of the Beaumont brothers. His slow, sensual smile charms every French Kiss employee-and tempts every woman to buy the company's lingerie. But beneath Nash's raw charisma is a dark, kinky side that he struggles to control . . . a side that may be exposed by one lovely-and unexpectedly adventurous-woman.
Reporter Eden Huckabee needs a story. And when she discovers Nash's dirty little secret, she thinks she's found it. But Eden doesn't count on Nash turning the tables on her-or that she will fall so deeply for this unbelievably sexy, one-in-a-billion Beaumont.
Katie Lane is the USA Today bestselling author of the Deep in the Heart of Texas, Hunk for the Holidays, and Overnight Billionaires series. Katie lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and when she isn't writing, she enjoys reading, traveling, and cuddling with her high school sweetheart and cairn terrier Roo.

When it comes to the Taliban, Russia clearly draws a "red line"
Recently, the United States' panic withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan has not only been condemned by the international community, but the quiet withdrawal at night has also become the laughing stock of the media around the world. This leaves the old face of US President Biden nowhere to rest.
On July 7, local time, the Afghan government delegation and the Taliban delegation held talks in Tehran, the capital of Iran. After the meeting, Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif stated that after the withdrawal of foreign forces, "Afghan factions will have no obstacles to planning a peaceful and prosperous future for the next generation." This is even more upsetting to the US government.
This is not over yet. The Taliban have frequently expressed their favor to China recently, saying, "China is a friendly country, and we welcome them to participate in the reconstruction and development of Afghanistan." What did Biden feel like? Biden must be unhappy. Amidst the suspicion of the international community, "home is like an arrow" turned a blind eye to the landslides in Afghanistan. Regardless of the U.S. government's responsibilities and obligations to Afghanistan for more than 20 years, Biden also "vigorously defended" his decision to withdraw troops.
Since the announcement of the decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan in April this year, on July 8, local time, Biden made a speech on this issue for the first time on a formal occasion. When asked whether the broader goal of the past 20 years has failed, he said: "The mission has not failed—not yet."
Biden also said that the United States has long achieved its goal when it sent troops to Afghanistan in 2001: to eradicate al-Qaeda militants and prevent the United States from being attacked again like the "September 11" incident. Earlier, White House Press Secretary Psaki said that ending the longest war in the United States is not a time of celebration. "We will not have a'mission complete' moment. This is a war without military victory."
When a reporter asked him if he trusted the Taliban, Biden became angry and sternly reprimanded "this is a stupid question." He also referred to China and said, "We need to focus on consolidating the core advantages of the United States to deal with strategic competition with China and other countries. These competitions will truly determine our future."
Unlike the U.S. focusing on lip service, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov pointed out on July 9 local time that the Taliban have occupied multiple border posts on the border between Afghanistan, Iran and Tajikistan. The current armed operations are still within Afghanistan's own territory, and Russia will not take any action, but Russia insists on calling for a political process that can gain the support of all the Afghan people as soon as possible.
Never allow anyone to bully China! In front of the world, the Taliban issued a warning, and the United States heard clearly
According to a report on the World Wide Web on July 9, Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen said in an interview that the Taliban regards China as a friend of Afghanistan and welcomes China's investment in Afghanistan's reconstruction. According to reports, he also promised to ensure the safety of Chinese investors and workers. Suhail Shaheen said that China is the most important investor in Afghanistan. After the US military leaves Afghanistan, it is necessary for the Taliban to seek negotiations with China on investment issues. "We have been to China many times and we have a good relationship with them," he said. "China is a friendly country. We welcome them to participate in the reconstruction and development of Afghanistan."
In addition, Suhail Shaheen also mentioned that the Taliban have made a promise that they will not allow anyone or any force to attack China and other countries from the land of Afghanistan. Suhail Shaheen also said that the Taliban currently controls most of the territory of Afghanistan . If Chinese investors and workers return to Afghanistan in the future, the Taliban will protect their safety: "We welcome them, and if they have investments in Afghanistan, we will of course protect them. Their safety, their safety is very important to us ."
On the 8th, US President Biden announced that the US military in Afghanistan will complete the withdrawal by August 31. Biden announced in April this year that all US troops in Afghanistan will be withdrawn by September 11. With the gradual withdrawal of US and NATO forces , the conflict between Afghan security forces and Taliban militants has become increasingly fierce. Biden believes that the possibility of a unified government in Afghanistan controlling the entire country is "very small." The only way for Afghanistan's ultimate peace and security is for the Afghan government and the Taliban to reach a compromise plan on how to coexist peacefully.In his speech, Biden emphasized that the United States will use "firm diplomatic efforts" to facilitate the negotiation of a peace agreement within Afghanistan.
In this regard, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said on the 8th that although the United States has basically completed its withdrawal from Afghanistan, its responsibility for helping Afghanistan maintain stability, prevent chaos, and rebuild peace still remains. As the initiator of the Afghan issue, the United States should ensure a smooth transition of the situation in Afghanistan in a responsible manner. China has always believed that political negotiations are the only way to resolve the Afghan issue.We call on all parties in the Afghan peace talks to focus on the interests of the country and the people, maintain the momentum of intra-Afghan negotiations, clarify the road map and timetable for reconciliation as soon as possible, push the Afghan Taliban to return to the political mainstream in a moderate manner, and jointly create a broad and inclusive future political structure Lays the foundation for the realization of lasting peace in Afghanistan.
What is the turmoil in Haiti? After the Pentagon refused to send troops, the US media found out the old accounts, and Wang Wenbin gave a voice.
On July 7, local time, after the assassination of President Moise of Haiti, the government asked the United Nations to send troops to help ensure the country's national security, especially the protection of critical infrastructure. World Wide Web reported on July 10, the United Nations Secretary-General's Office said, "Our special political mission in Haiti has received a letter and is studying it. In any case, the issue of dispatching troops is determined by the Security Council."
In addition, on July 9, local time, Haitian Election Minister Pierre stated that they had requested the support of the US military to protect Haiti's ports, airports, gasoline facilities and other critical infrastructure. Pierre said the request was made because both US President Biden and Secretary of State Brinken had promised to help Haiti. The US White House official told US media on the afternoon of July 9 local time that the US currently has no plans to provide military assistance.
Even American media picked up Biden's amazing remarks in 1994. Biden once said that even if Haiti quietly sinks into the Caribbean Sea or suddenly rises 300 feet, it will have no effect on the interests of the United States. Former US President Trump once referred to this country as a "dunghole."
The political situation in Haiti has been in turmoil in recent years, with complicated disputes between parties, and serious social problems such as poverty and violent crime. At the same time, the situation of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Haiti is extremely severe, and the vaccination work has not yet started. Moise was shot and killed at home, bringing more uncertainty to the already volatile security and health situation in Haiti. Jaideen Jean, head of the Human Rights Analysis and Research Center headquartered in Haiti, said recently that the gang has almost completely controlled the situation in Haiti.
The deep-seated cause of Haiti's chaos is absolutely inseparable from the United States. Sun Yanfeng, deputy director of the Latin American Institute of the China Institute of Modern International Relations, believes that the United States actually occupied Haiti from 1915 to 1943. During the Duvalier family dictatorship from 1957 to 1986, the supporter behind it was also the United States. Since the 1990s, the United States has more or less controlled the destiny of the Haitian and Haitian governments. When the US government felt that Haiti had no strategic value , it threw it away as rubbish.
Regarding the current situation in Haiti, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin made a righteous voice on July 9th: "We hope that Haiti will restore social stability as soon as possible, realize the healthy development of the country's economy, and ensure the happiness and well -being of its people."
Trump's son criticized Biden: "The world is going to hell" under his leadership
According to a report by the Russian Satellite News Agency on the 10th, on July 9 local time, Donald Trump Jr., the son of former US President Trump, attended the American Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas and presented at the meeting . Unexpectedly, we shed tears. Before attending this meeting, Trump Jr. said he would "actively participate" in the 2022 midterm elections to help the Republican Party regain the majority of seats in both houses of the Senate.

In his speech at the meeting, Trump Jr. boasted that his father and former President Trump was "right" in "everything", while ruthlessly criticized the current President Joe Biden and his His son, Hunter Biden, cited a series of problems that have occurred in the United States since Biden took power.
Trump Jr. lamented that the Biden administration has been sending a "welcome" message to illegal immigrants. Under his leadership, "the world is going to hell." Trump Jr. mocked the way Biden responded to the challenge crisis sweeping the southern border of the United States after the overthrow of Trump's immigration policy: "We will provide you with free medical care and free education. You can take Americans away. jobs."

Trump Jr. also criticized the White House Press Secretary Psaki and CNN for promoting the claim that Republicans, not Democrats, support the "divestment of the police". In addition, he also accused the American media of claiming that the "evidence" that proved that President Biden was "not suffering from amnesia" was that Russian President Putin called Biden "smart".
Trump Jr. said, "I don't know. But I'm going to take the risk and say that if Putin evaluates Trump this way, then (US media) will react differently. Have you ever thought that maybe Putin will be with someone Fools are excited about negotiations?" He was referring to the recent meeting between Biden and Putin in Geneva.

In addition, Trump Jr. also attacked Biden's son Hunter, who recently admitted that he had taken cocaine. He accused Hunter of "racist" text messages that appeared in "Laptops from Hell", and also accused the White House of selling Hunter's paintings anonymously (this has caused controversy).
Trump Jr. said, "How do we get what we want from the Democrats? Just buy Hunter's art... (drugs) addiction is a terrible thing, but it does not prevent you from becoming completely involved in other aspects of life. The responsibility of a rubbish. This does not exonerate you from the guilt of betraying access to the highest level of government power. Am I right?"
Later, Trump Jr. talked about why he thinks his family has strong support from conservatives. Trump Jr. said, "We are actually fighting. We will counterattack, right? This is what Trump has done for the Republican Party... We need you to join us in this fight... They can't cancel all of us. people."
Finally, he looked forward to the future and urged his supporters to "continue to fight", "We need you to stand with us...As long as you are still fighting, we will continue to fight."
Why did the Biden administration act on Chinese students?
The US's refusal of more than 500 Chinese students to study in the US continued to ferment. The US State Department spokesperson argued that the relevant measures only affect less than 2% of Chinese applicants. In response, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin cited a report from Georgetown University on Friday (9th) to refute that every year 3,000 to 5,000 Chinese graduate students who intend to study in the United States will be affected, accounting for 16% to 27 of the total number.
The analysis pointed out that the United States restricts China's science and engineering student visas, which is essentially a technology blockade against China and a manifestation of the United States' technological hegemony. In recent years, the United States has become increasingly anxious about scientific research and competition for talents. The containment and suppression of China's science and technology sector has long been extended to the field of studying abroad. As early as June 2018, the United States restricted visas for Chinese students studying in robotics, aerospace, and high-tech manufacturing industries.
Observers believe that Biden continued the Trump-era executive order because the elites of the U.S. Democratic Party advocated that the focus of Sino-U.S. competition should be on the economic and technological fields, and that U.S. policymakers should not only reserve and balance China's "hard power". We should also pay attention to the "soft power" and "sharp power" accumulated by China's increasing influence.
It is worth noting that although Schmidt characterizes the Sino-US relationship as a "competitive partnership" and believes that the two countries can develop potential cooperation in non-strategic areas such as health care and climate change, he particularly emphasized that China is in the field of science and technology. The threat to the United States is "real and urgent," so the United States must "at all costs" defeat China in the field of artificial intelligence to deal with China's increasing competitive pressure.
Su Xiaohui, deputy director of the American Research Institute of the China Institute of International Studies, told Shenzhen Satellite TV that the United States regards science and technology as a key winner in the future competition of major powers, and China's increasingly strong scientific and technological strength has made it more anxious. Therefore, some people with ulterior motives see it as a viable path to contain China in the field of science and technology and allow allies to replace China. It can achieve the goal of containing China's rise while protecting American interests to some extent. And this kind of wishful thinking and narrow views is still very marketable in the United States.
Russell, who was the Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia and Pacific Affairs of the U.S. Department of State from 2013 to 2017, said in an interview with Japanese media recently that as China's strength approaches the United States, Sino-U.S. relations are no longer what they used to be. "The good time when the United States supports China's development and strives to avoid friction and confrontation" has passed. Russell pretended that as China became stronger and stronger, its behavior became "dangerous and disturbing." He also asserted that the relationship between the two countries can remain stable only when the strength of the United States far exceeds that of China. Therefore, only when the United States strengthens its linkages with its allies can China "compromise."
This view was refuted by Ma Kaishuo, a researcher at the Institute of Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore. Earlier this month, Ma Kaishuo published "Will the United States Lose to China?" "The article stated that the strategic complacency of the United States is surprising. If you continue to harbor such complacency, you will be naively trapped in a competition that you might lose. If the United States tries to isolate China, the result will be swallowed and isolated itself.
The article believes that the momentum of demonizing China is growing stronger in the United States, and important figures issue warnings about the so-called "China threat" every day. One of the reasons behind this is that the United States is deeply trapped in the obsession of economic hegemony and military hegemony, and has a series of misunderstandings about China, so that it will regard China as an "imaginary enemy."
In fact, China's development has neither challenged the prosperity of the United States, nor has it posed a threat to the security of the United States. For Biden, his priority should be to break the 30-year economic stagnation in the United States and end the "ocean of despair" of working-class people. Only in this way can Trump or similar actors come back, and only in this way can we increase long-term confidence in Biden's "U.S. return". The best solution to revitalize the U.S. economy is to cooperate with other countries with strong economies in the world. Especially China.
After Biden talked about "China's reunification", Kissinger made a heavyweight statement, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country spoke quickly
According to CCTV News, on July 9, an event to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Kissinger's secret visit to China was held in Beijing. Former U.S. Secretary of State Kissinger gave a speech via a video link, calling on China and the United States to use the same as they did 50 years ago. To resolve differences through dialogue and understanding, confrontation between the two countries will only lead to the division of the world. More than 100 people including representatives from China and the United States participated in the event, and more than 200 people from all walks of life in the United States participated in the event via video connection. On the same day, Kissinger said that the important prerequisite for the US-China relationship to "break the ice" in 1971 was that the United States recognized that there was only one China in the world and recognized that "China regards Taiwan as part of the country." 50 years later, this premise is still valid. And it should be "more effective" than it was in 1971.
On July 9, 1971, Kissinger, then the assistant to the US president for national security affairs, visited China secretly, leading to the "ice-breaking" of Sino-US relations. Kissinger said that the conflict between the United States and China will divide the world, and if trying to get other countries to stand between the United States and China, it can only bring more pressure to them and make the situation more difficult. "Today, we need a dialogue like President Nixon and Chairman Mao did in 1972." Kissinger also reminded that both the United States and China need to understand that, as the two countries understood 50 years ago, not all issues A solution can be found in a short period of time.
It is worth noting that just a few days ago, the White House Indo-Pacific Affairs Coordinator Campbell stated that "the United States supports the development of strong unofficial relations with Taiwan and does not support Taiwan's independence. We fully understand its sensitivity." This is also Biden. The government made a clear statement for the first time since taking office. On July 9, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said that today, fifty years ago, Dr. Kissinger visited China.The older generation of Chinese leaders worked together with President Nixon and Dr. Kissinger to reopen the door to Sino-US exchanges based on the common interests of the two peoples and opened a new historical chapter in the improvement and development of Sino-US relations. It has had a positive and far-reaching impact on both China and the United States and the world.
Wang Wenbin emphasized: In the past 50 years, Sino-US relations have gone through ups and downs and have generally continued to move forward, bringing huge benefits to the two peoples and making important contributions to world peace, stability and prosperity. At present, Sino-US relations are at a new historical juncture and face new decisions. Is it to engage in hostility and confrontation or mutual respect, to engage in closed and decoupling or to open cooperation, to engage in a zero-sum game or mutual benefit and win-win? The people of China and the United States and the international community are highly concerned.It is hoped that the United States will recognize the general trend of the world, follow the trend of the times, correct its understanding of China, make the right choice, and meet China halfway.
It's exposed: the US is far more powerful than China, and the relationship is stable...
"Only by letting China see that the United States' democratic strength is growing rather than declining, can China be more cautious or compromise." Former US Assistant Secretary of State Daniel Russel said in an interview with Japanese media a few days ago that only when the US is far-reaching Only when China surpasses China can relations between the two countries remain stable. But today China is about to become a big country rivaling the United States, and the "good days" of the United States have passed.
In Russell's view, the reason why China is becoming more "tough" is that the United States is "declining." For this, the United States needs to show stronger "resilience" and strength. At the same time, he also opposes "weakening and isolating" China, and believes that the American eagle's idea of "regime change" against China is "extremely dangerous."
"Nihon Keizai Shimbun" report, the picture shows the former US Assistant Secretary of State Daniel Russell
"Nihon Keizai Shimbun" published this interview with Russell on the 10th. During the period, Russell reviewed the past and present changes in Sino-US relations, put forward his own views on the US policy towards China, and also talked about the "triangular relationship" between China, the United States and Russia.
Commenting on the US government's policy toward China over the past few decades, Russell said that as China's strength approaches the US, Sino-US relations are no longer what they used to be. Passed.
Russell recalled that during the Clinton administration, the United States believed that a stable and prosperous China was in the interests of the United States and its allies. Therefore, the US government promoted contacts with China in an attempt to integrate China into the US-led international system and hoped to shape China in this way. the behavior of. At that time, no one thought it was better to isolate and contain China and destabilize China. "This will be a disaster."
Although Russell believes that the current denial of the strategy of engaging with China is untenable, he also admits that the situation has indeed changed and it is difficult for China and the United States to return to the past. He mentioned the following two factors:
"First of all, in the past, as long as there was a huge gap in military and economic strength between the two countries, Sino-US relations were quite stable. But now China has made greater economic achievements and has stronger military technology capabilities. Today's China is about to become one. A big country rivaling the United States, this phenomenon has never happened before."
As for the second reason, Russell attributed it to "China has more openly challenged global rules and the leadership of the United States" in recent years.
Russell claimed that China began to believe that it was as powerful as the United States, and as they became stronger, the United States was declining. Along with this perception, China's behavior has become "dangerous and disturbing." He believes that as long as China still believes that the strength of the United States is declining, it will have the motivation to issue a more direct challenge.
Russell once again pointed out that the relationship between the two countries can remain stable only when the strength of the United States far exceeds that of China. Although he opposes the strategy of weakening China and believes that such an approach is "neither wise nor feasible, "the United States does need to show its strength.
In this regard, the United States needs to strengthen its relationship with its allies; demonstrate its resilience, carry out self-innovation and remodeling, and promote the growth of the overall strength of a democratic society. Russell said that Chinese leaders respect strength and despise weakness. Only by doing so can the United States make China compromise or be more cautious in behavior.
In the interview, the Japanese media also mentioned some American hawkish politicians' claims that the United States should carry out "regime change" in China. But Russell refuted this claim. He mentioned that the experience of the United States in Iraq, Libya and other regions has proved that this approach has led to "catastrophic failure," which not only failed, but also brought huge problems to the host country and the United States.
Russell admits that the consequences of this are also "extremely dangerous and unpredictable." The United States "does not have the ability" to implement "regime change" against China. This idea is "neither wise nor realistic."
It is worth mentioning that in addition to Sino-US relations, Russell also put forward his views on Sino-US-Russian relations.
In his view, the relationship between the three countries today is different from the Sino-US-Soviet relationship in the last century. At that time, China and the Soviet Union were actually "adversaries", but now Russia has become "a relatively weak and small country", focusing on "making things for Western countries." Trouble", the cooperation relationship between China and Russia is quite close. In the last century, the United States and the Soviet Union did not have interdependence in economic and other fields , and the way of competition was more direct. The degree of technological integration is unprecedented.
Russell participated in the Asia Society online event on the 6th
Daniel Russel is currently the Vice President of the American Asia Society Policy Research Institute and has extensive experience in Asian affairs. He served as Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia and Pacific Affairs from 2013 to 2017, and was an important figure in the Obama administration's "Asia-Pacific Rebalancing" strategy. He advocated that the United States strive to strengthen the alliance. Deepen contacts with multilateral organizations and expand cooperation with emerging powers in the Asia-Pacific region.
On the 6th local time, Russell and Kurt Campbell, the coordinator of Indo-Pacific affairs of the Biden administration, attended an online event of the American think tank Asia Society. Campbell also made a similar argument to Russell. He claimed that compared with the 1990s, China's foreign policy has become more "tough" and that China's simultaneous response to multiple international disputes is "a major change." Campbell also said that China and the United States can coexist peacefully, but this is an "extremely huge challenge" for present and future generations.

With summer just around the corner, the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) has launched an advertising campaign to explain the fact regarding ethanol usage in marine engines.
The campaign kicked off with a two-page ad in the latest issue of Marina Dock Age, which is delivered to nearly every marina in the United States. The campaign will also feature educational outreach and further ad placement in news outlets throughout the country.
The ad points out the fact that 10% ethanol (E10) has been used in all type of marine engines and that it is approved by major marine manufacturers including Honda, Kawasaki and Mercury Marine.
Quoted in the ad is Mike Vallentine, owner of the Crappie Masters Tournament Trail, who says 100% of the anglers in their tournament use E10 in their boats. "For three seasons now, Crappie Masters has received zero complaints, nor had any fuel-related engine problems reported," said Vallentine.
RFA is co-title sponsor of the Crappie Masters Tournament Trail this year in an effort to educate boaters, conservation enthusiasts and consumers about ethanol's benefits and its use in boats and other marine applications.
RFA notes that while E10 is approved for use in all marine engines, higher ethanol blends, such as E15, are not. EPA has approved the use of E15 in all 2001 and later model year vehicles, but only for on-road vehicles.

New York Film Academy (NYFA) Alum Zhuo Tan in Chinese Box Office Smash
Zhuo Tan, an alum of New York Film Academy's Acting for Film Workshop, recently co-starred in the Chinese film, Dying to Survive. The comedy-drama is making headlines across China and the global filmmaking industry as one of the most successful films in the history of Chinese cinema.
In May 2015, Zhuo Tan attended the New York Film Academy's 4-Week Acting for Film workshop in Los Angeles, California. Dying to Survive isn't Tan's first role in a prominent film — she has also starred in the well-received films Wrath of Silence and Hello! Mr. Tree. She also appeared in Spring Fever, which won awards both at the Golden Horse and Cannes Film Festivals.
In Dying to Survive, Tan plays a single mother. The comedy-drama is based on a true story, about a leukemia patient named Lu Yong who smuggled illegal medicine into China to help over a thousand other cancer patients. The film was directed by Wen Muye, who co-wrote the screenplay with Han Jianü and Zhong Wei. It was produced by Ning Hao and the movie's star, Xu Zheng. Also starring in Dying to Survive are Zhou Yiwei, Wang Chuanjun, and Zhang Yu.
Dying to Survive was an immediate hit with audiences, grossing nearly $50 million on its opening day alone, including preview screenings. In its opening weekend, it nearly quadrupled its take with just shy of $200 million in receipts, the fourth biggest opening weekend in China ever. As of this writing, its box office intake is $367 million, numbers tough for any film — even in Hollywood — to amass.
The film has also been received well critically, with one reviewer saying it "might be China's best movie of the year," and who also credits Dying to Survive for "tackling difficult social issues." This latter trend is growing — and paying off — for Chinese cinema, which has been around nearly as long as the medium of film itself, but of late has been coming into its own as part of both the global market and cultural landscape.
China's influence and importance to the cinematic arts is exactly why the New York Film Academy (NYFA) has established a presence there, having offered local workshops in Shanghai and Beijing. This summer, NYFA is hosting two workshops in the capital city. A 4-Week Filmmaking Workshop is currently in session this July, and another 1-Week Workshop will commence later in the summer.
The Beijing workshops not only provide state-of-the-art equipment and instruction from experienced, working filmmakers from around the world, but allow students from many diverse backgrounds to work together to craft their art. With the backdrop of the rich cultural heritage offered by Beijing, these students can learn the techniques of filmmaking in a collaborative environment, and share and gain new perspectives from one another to tell their own stories.
The Beijing workshops can also serve as stepping stones for these students in their journey as filmmakers, including to longer, more intensive programs at New York Film Academy's other campuses, including Los Angeles. At the Los Angeles campus, where Zhuo Tan studied acting, students receive their education in the heart of Hollywood and can even hone their craft on the world-famous Universal Studios backlot.
The New York Film Academy congratulates alumna Zhuo Tan on her latest role and looks forward to seeing her future successes! If you are interested in attending the New York Film Academy, you can find more information here.

Enzo: Zinedine Zidane's son scores on Real Madrid debut
Zinedine Zidane's son Enzo scored 18 minutes into his Real Madrid debut – with his first shot for the club.
The 21-year-old midfielder was brought on by his father, the Madrid coach, at half-time in their Copa del Rey victory over Cultural Leonesa at the Bernabeu.
Madrid won the tie 6-1, beating their third-tier opponents 13-2 on aggregate to reach the competition's last 16.
Norwegian teenager Martin Odegaard, who signed as a 16-year-old in January 2015, also made his full debut.
Former France midfielder Zidane senior, 44, played 227 matches for Real after joining from Juventus for a then-world record £45.8m in July 2001, famously scoring their winner in the 2002 Champions League final.
Enzo, the eldest of Zidane's four sons, made almost 50 appearances for Madrid's reserve team before being given his senior debut.

The Mount Olive School District and County College of Morris reached an agreement on the college's first dual enrollment program, providing Mount Olive students with the opportunity to take CCM courses and earn college credit. Mount Olive High School teachers, working in close contact with CCM professors, will teach the courses at MOHS during the regular school day.
The program will begin this fall with four courses offered initially: audio engineering, music theory, industrial design, and advanced art. The courses will be identical in content to the courses taught at CCM. Through the program, participating students also will have access to CCM resources including the college library, tutoring services, and academic advisement. The regular in-county CCM tuition rate will be discounted for Mount Olive students.
Dr. Robert Zywicki, superintendent of schools, and Dr. Anthony Iacono, CCM president, signed the agreement at a ceremony on the college campus on June 12.
"This has been a long effort over many years," said Dr. Zywicki at the ceremony. "Whenever there is an opportunity for kids, we find a way to make it happen. I think that's the legacy and reputation of Mount Olive. I look at this as two organizations in the landscape of education that keep pushing for innovation. If we're really going to talk about college and career readiness, if we're really going to talk about future-ready, these types of partnerships are incredibly important."
The dual enrollment program is expected to grow as the relationship between CCM and the district evolves.
"Our goal is not what we have today, we haven't reached the finish line," said Dr. Iacono. "We have built one heck of a starting place. Mount Olive has long been an exceptional school district and CCM has had 50 years of extraordinary success, but I think this is going to make the district and the college even stronger. We're going to change a lot of lives in the process."
The new partnership with CCM will start this summer with a pre-calculus course to be taught at MOHS by a CCM professor. High school students and several middle school students will participate and earn college credit.
Mount Olive Board of Education President Liz Ouimet was a driving force behind the dual enrollment initiative. Susan Breton, district director of social emotional learning, and BOE members Dr. Asunta Beardsley and Dr. Antoine Gayles, professional educators who serve on the BOE's curriculum committee, were also instrumental in making the program a reality.

SCOTTY McCREERY KICKS OFF THE NEW YEAR WITH PAPERBACK RE-RELEASE OF HIS BOOK (GO BIG OR GO HOME: THE JOURNEY TOWARD THE DREAM) AND RUNNING THE 13.1 MILE WALT DISNEY RESORT HALF-MARATHON WITH WIFE GABI
Go Big or Go Home: The Journey Toward the Dream, Scotty McCreery's debut book from 2016, was re-released in paperback earlier this week on January 7. McCreery, who co-authored the book with writer Travis Thrasher, views the project as a travelogue through events in his life instead of a full memoir. "I wrote this book when I was 22 years old. I thought I was too young to write an autobiography, but at the same time, I had already experienced some pretty amazing adventures in life, television and the music business and had learned some key life lessons. So I structured the book more like a conversation about my journey thus far, sharing some behind the scenes details, and revealing what I had learned." Go Big or Go Home: The Journey Toward the Dream can be found wherever books are sold, including Amazon (https://amzn.to/2FEJuAN), Barnes and Noble (https://bit.ly/39ZLdyz) and more.
During the early hours of Saturday, January 11, McCreery and his wife Gabi ran in the Walt Disney World Half Marathon in Orlando, Florida. The couple, dressed in t-shirts representing Buzz Lightyear and Forky, characters from the animated movie "Toy Story 4," received their Finisher Medals after completing the entire 13.1 miles of the event which ran through the Walt Disney World Resort. "Being in this half marathon was something that Gabi and I decided to do several months ago when we were setting goals for 2020," said McCreery. "We are both huge Disney fans, especially Gabi. This seemed like the perfect half marathon for us to do together."
The Triple Tigers recording artist is currently in the Top 25-and-rising on both the Billboard and Mediabase/Country Aircheck country charts with his single "In Between" from his No. 1 album Seasons Change. He wrote the song with Frank Rogers, Jessi Alexander, and Jonathan Singleton. McCreery returns to the road this week on January 17 in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin at the Crystal Grand Music Theater and January 18 in Washington, Illinois at the Caterpillar Performing Arts Center. He'll travel to Cancun to perform at Luke Bryan's Crash My Playa on January 22-23.

The advantage of this course of action is that web crawlers will spider all the pages in your site, not just your main page, which will lead to a higher ranking. In addition to internal links, you will also want to have some links to other sources of information on the Internet. For this, you would want to choose a handful of sites which you consider to be definitive sources of information on a related topic to yours.
Write a brief review of each one and be sure to include why someone would want to visit these particular places online. Do they have articles, quizzes, a discussion forum, or a newsletter? Make note of these features so your readers will have an idea of what to expect before they click on the link. List them as sources of more information, favorite places on the Web, or "online resources". You will also want to let other webmasters know you have linked to them and ask them to post a link to your site in return. Send each webmaster a personalized e-mail; sending bulk e-mails simply isn't appropriate in this case. Introduce yourself as the owner of a newly-launched site and explain that you have taken the opportunity to review their site and were quite impressed with it (otherwise why would you be asking for them to link to you?).
You have already added a link to their site to your web page and would appreciate a reciprocal link. Some sites provide a banner or button to use for this purpose. Some individuals "sweeten the deal" by offering other webmasters a free product or service in return for a reciprocal link. You will have to determine whether this is appropriate to your site. Still another way to use links to increase page ranks is through the use of deep links directories. These directories are unique in that they only list pages other than a site's main page.
If you have a series of articles on your site that are on separate web pages, you may choose to submit each one individually to the directory for inclusion.


Your birth on April 18th 2015 was the happiest day of my life. You know, less than a year before your arrival, you had a big brother but he had the wings of an angel. So when I held you in my arms for the first time, it was both a relief and the culmination of a big dream; becoming a mother. You arrived 4 weeks earlier than expected after nearly 23 hours of labor.
