Internet Fraud: EFCC Charges Schools Integrity Club on good conduct
SecurityNational
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has urged students of St. Joseph Secondary School, Agege, and Government College Secondary School, Victoria Island, Lagos, who are members of the EFCC Integrity Clubs in the schools, to shun any involvement in internet fraud.
The students were also charged to embrace the culture of integrity which is a core value of the Commission.
Speaking to members of the EFCC/Secondary School Integrity Club members on Wednesday, June 2, 2021, the Lagos Zonal Head, Ahmed Ghali, admonished the students to always do the right thing at all times.
Ghali, who was represented by his deputy and Head of Procurement Fraud Session, PFS, Emeka Okonjo, expressed delight at the presence of the integrity club members, who were led by their coordinators, Achilefu Ikechukwu and Latifah Abdullahi to the EFCC Lagos Zonal Office.
He advised them to shun anyone that says easy money is the way out, adding that they must inculcate good morals and values that could help better their lives and the country as a whole.
In his remarks, the Head of Advance Fee Fraud, Sini John Omar who enlightened the students on the positive side and numerous advantages of the internet, also educated them on the importance of putting the Internet into the right use.
Omar, who stated that the internet could be used for education and research purposes, online banking and purchase of products, added that "as convenient as the internet may be, it can also be a tool for destruction and fraudulent practices."
Also speaking, Dein Whyte, Head, Cyber Crime Section, educated the students on the possible dangers and disadvantages of the internet.
According to him, the internet could be used to defraud people if adequate security measures were not taken.
He, therefore, admonished them to watch the company they keep, adding that bad communications could corrupt good morals.
While providing the students with hints on how to avoid being defrauded, Whyte stressed the need for them to protect their passwords and not get carried away by what they see on the internet.
"The things you see on the internet are mostly for likes and attention and do not depict dignity on how they were acquired.
They are often fake and not the reality.
''You are on the right path because you have a good foundation and you have no choice but to build on it and develop yourselves. You must also contribute your quota towards making Nigeria a better place," he added.
The students presented a talk show and also a short play on the activities of the EFCC as well as the challenges faced by the Commission.
The high point of the event was the presentation of an award to the Chairman of the Commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa, for the good work of the Commission.

A marine gathering is an intentional congregation of more than 100 vessels in a specific area of water that, by the event's nature, circumstances, or location, creates extra or unusual hazards to life or property.
In 2012, the General Assembly passed legislation establishing a marine gathering permit to provide the Natural Resources Police, local law enforcement, and first responders adequate notice of large gatherings on State waters. The permit process helps law enforcement units and emergency services prepare appropriate safety and security measures for these large events. It also compels event sponsors and organizers to take a proactive roll in planning and managing for safety and security during their private parties on the water.
(3) create an extra or unusual hazard based upon consideration of the criteria set out in the answers above.
If a marine gathering organizer fails to obtain or comply with the permit, the Natural Resources Police may disband the gathering if necessary to protect public safety and maintain safe navigation.

Three new non-executive directors join mental health trust
Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust (NSFT) has appointed three new non-executive directors (NEDS) with a wealth of experience in mental health, finance and management to join its Board of Directors.
Bishop Tim Stevens (pictured) and Ian Brookman joined the Trust today (1 December), with Professor Jill Robinson beginning on 1 January.
Tim, from Bury St Edmunds, has joined the Trust after retiring as senior bishop with the Church of England.
He began his church career as a curate and held various roles in Canvey Island, Chelmsford and West Ham before he was appointed Bishop of Dunwich in 1995. In 1999, he became Bishop of Leicester with responsibility for managing an annual budget of £9m and leading a diocese of one million people from a diverse range of backgrounds. Tim also spent six years chairing the Bishops' Bench in the House of Lords, where he contributed to national debates by speaking on the behalf of 26 bishops.
He applied for the role of non-executive director so that he could focus on health policy, while making good use of the knowledge and experience he built up during his career.
Ian, who lives near Bury St Edmunds, has spent his career working in management and finance and is currently part-time finance director at Ormiston Families, a regional charity which supports children and young people from across East Anglia.
As well as helping to improve the finances at a range of different organisations, he has played a key role in enhancing the performance of schools and helped establish a not-for-profit start-up organisation to take over the provision of library services across Suffolk. He also serves as a trustee for a national academy chain.
Jill, who lives near Diss, has become a NED after spending more than 35 years working in mental health, education and research, most recently as Executive Dean and Professor of Healthcare Practice at University Campus Suffolk (UCS).
She started her career as a mental health nurse and held a variety of roles working with young people and in the community before moving into education, and has since worked at both the University of East Anglia and UCS.
In addition, Jill spent a year working as a psychological therapist for NSFT, and has also held honorary appointments at universities and in the NHS.
Lead Governor Guenever Pachent said: "We are really pleased to have recruited three new high calibre non-executive directors. Their knowledge and expertise will be vitally important and we look forward to working closely with them over the coming years."
Trust Chair Gary Page said: "I am delighted that we are able to welcome Jill, Tim and Ian to Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust. They bring with them a wealth of experience in a wide range of different areas, and will make a valuable contribution to our discussions at Board and shaping our plans for the future.
"I look forward to working closely with all three as we continue to drive through quality improvements at the Trust for the benefit of our service users and their carers."

Discussion in 'Sesame Appearances' started by SamEagle 000, Jun 23, 2003.
When I saw the Sesame Street characters on the Simpsons trying to kill Homer I thought it was kind of funny at first but then I got kind of offended. The characters were badly drawn and they were trying to Kill Homer. Let me repeat, Kill !
I couldn't believe it. The characters on Sesame Street would never kill any one. It was all wrong. At one point, Elmo was in Oscar's trash can and Big Bird was flying! Was anyone else offended?
Nope, I thought it was great. It was only a parody, the Muppets do the same thing.
Actually, a friend of mine designs haunted house attractions and one scene was a badly built, dimly lit SS set, with blood splattered everywhere, and there was green fur hanging out of the trash can and blood splattered on windows, and when the people came by the steps "Bert is Evil" came running down the steps from 123 Sesame Street with a huge blade in his hands. He had bought the head from a costume shop and restored it. The idea came from the "Bert is Evil" website.
I wasn't offended by The Sesame Street characters on the Simpsons in the least bit. I thought it was great! Like was said, it's a parody. I think we're all old enough to take what we can give out.
I found that part very funny."Elmo know where you live!"
When I first saw it was kind of offended but then when I saw it again I found it pretty funny. I figure the Simpsons are pretty much known for their parodies so I couldn't really find it too offensive anymore. I do think they could have done a better job with the drawings of the characters though.
I think we're all old enough to take what we can give out.
You kidding? It was satire, not an insult (unlike Crank Spankers or whatever).
Ehhm, guys, SamEagle 000 is pretty young.
Yeah, Tommie, I know now.
SamEagle 000, I understand where you're coming from (that a-way? No, that a-way!). It can be upsetting at first, but, I just think of it as picking fun on an old friend. The Simpsons writers are Muppet fans (one of them co-wrote IAVMMCM), and they don't pick on SS anymore than Ernie picks on Bert.
When Elmo says no, Elmo mean no!
I guess your right. And yes, I am young. I'm only 11.
Now that I think about it some of the parts were funny. Like, "Elmo know where you live!"
Wouldn't The Simpsons have to get permission to do this.
Did Kevin Clash play Elmo? Then it would DEFFENITELY be good.
No it was funny!!! Nothing to harm in good ol fun!
Yesterday's episode began with a dream of Homer, in wich he was Yogi Bear and Bart, ehhhm, that small bear. I love those parodies.
When I saw the Muppets Go Medevil bit, I thought it was Steve doing Kermit's voice. Then again, many people have their own Kermit so it could have been anyone.
I think to get offended by satire is political correctness gone a muck. These days, people don't usually take jokes as jokes, but instead as an assualt on them in some way. Crazy world.
What are you talking about having to be ten characters long?
(Actually I just typed "What?" and saw this new messages saying "The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters." which is kind of annoying, but at least I now know what you mean.

It's being reported on various that Leicester are after Benny Osbourne for 10m.
Makes sense because they never replaced Kante and BO is the only player around with that sort of engine.
Buy macdonald and mcginn and centre half.
10m for Osbourn, football really has gone mad but at least we're benefitting from it for a change. 15m for Britt, possible 10m for Osbourne, 14m for Burke, 7m for Antonio and 3m for Lansbury. I make that 49m in transfers out over the last year. Compare that to who has come in, where is all the money going?
10 million? Take it,hes not that good,thats good money when you consider we got McKay for 1/2 million.
123. Mcdonald = £7m, McGinn = £5m if you believe Lennon in one report. Centre Half = £????????? The first two amount to more than £10m alone. The club needs to keep some money to keep running.
GR. If the club spent every penny from players on players how is it expected cut the debts it has, merchandise and everything else does not raise enough to cut the clubs debts.
ABF - I never said anything about spending every penny and I know the club is not self-sustainable without selling assets, however, the club now makes a reported loss of approx 750k per month so there is definitely some money left over from all the transfers we've shipped out.
McDonald won't come,we would not be prepared to pay his wages.
That's why Hobbs and Eric will be off,we're not prepared to pay big wages.
I posted at the weekend that I watched Mcdonald at Ipswich. He is just the player we need. Sits infront of the defence. Drops into a back 3 when the full backs push up. Intelligent enough to know when to hold and when to play out. As big as a cb so solid in the air. Just his wages as some have said.
Benny is a good player with a big engine that will keep going for 90 minutes. £10 million is a good price if he can be replaced. Mcginn for £3 to £4 million would be good but only if he is a natural replacement.
FF79 Eric is NOT on a king's random unlike Hobbs who is one of the top earners!
Player of the season last year so probably feels he deserves a bettér deal.
I'm convinced he'll be gone if not in this window then the next.

Below, President Terkel Andersen and Chief Executive Officer Yann Le Cam set out how EURORDIS is taking patient empowerment to the next level in 2018.
EURORDIS is excited to announce we are expanding our training programme in 2018 with the introduction of the EURORDIS Open Academy, an initiative bringing together new and exisiting trainings as described below.
The goal of the EURORDIS Open Academy is to build the capacity of rare disease patient advocates at large as well as a select number of researchers and clinicians.
The Open Academy programmes are taught primarily in English through a blend of online and face-to-face trainings, during which patients acquire an understanding of key concepts and terminology, take part in master classes, discuss case studies and benefit from peer-to-peer learning. The programmes aim to enhance the capacity of patient advocates so they can engage concretely in research, policies and services. All Open Academy programmes are also moving towards offering accreditation to participants.
To take part in the on-site trainings, candidates proactively respond to a call for applications and successful candidates are selected by an application committee. Participation is co-funded by students and then fellowships are provided by EURORDIS to guarantee equal opportunity.
Since its launch in 2008, the EURORDIS Summer School has taken plce every year in Barcelona. One week of on-site training is coupled with 7 modules of online training (available free to anyone).The training aims to provide both patients and researchers with the knowledge and skills needed to become experts in medicines research and development.
A Spanish edition of the Summer School also launched in 2017, the second edition of which will take place in 2018.
The call for applications for the 2018 edition of the Summer School is now closed. The application process for the 2019 edition will open in late 2018.
To date more than 400 participants from over 40 countries representing more than 75 diseases have participated. Thanks to connections provided by EURORDIS, alumni members have gone on to become members of committees at the EMA and participate in activities related to the European Network of HTA agencies (EUnetHTA).
In parallel, EURORDIS will continue to collaborate with the European Patients Forum (EPF) on the European Patients' Academy (EUPATI), which provides complementary trainings and opportunities for peer-to-peer networking with non-rare disease advocates.
New in 2018, the EURORDIS Winter School on Scientific Innovation and Translational Research aims to deepen participants understanding of how pre-clinical research translates into real benefits for pateints.
The first edition of the on-site training will take place in March in Paris. The programme will cover topics including the history of genetics, diagnostics and drug repurposing. The online component of the training will be made freely available for anyone to use online.
The EURORDIS Digital School will also launch in 2018. Made up of online webinars and two in-person sessions per year, the Digital School provides up to 25 participants (representing rare and non-rare diseases) with training on how to use social media to raise the profile of a patient organisation, as well as practical advice on how to develop an awareness-raising campaign. The first in-person training will take place in autumn 2018.
In 2018, EURORDIS will continue to develop its capacity-building programme for the ePAG representatives with a focus on three levels: (1) ePAG representatives who voice the views of their ePAG's wider membership to their respective ERN Board, (2) ePAG representatives involved in ERN topic groups and (3) all 200+ ePAG representatives who are involved in the 24 ERNs. For more information please contact lenja.wiehe@eurordis.org.
If you have any questions about the EURORDIS Open Academy please contact Nancy Hamilton, EURORDIS Training Manager nancy.hamilton@eurordis.org.


She's much like her parents…serious and focused with a goofy side. And can we talk about those curls for a minute? *swoon* I can't get over just how much she looks like her beautiful mother. (Ok…her dad's beautiful,too. :P) And, the other thing she seems to have gotten from her mama was an indifference to cake. She seemed to much prefer keeping it dignified with a couple of dainty polite tastes. But in the end, she got a little smash and a little mess and was ready to get cleaned up.

Selecting the Right Car for a Teen Driver - not as easy as you think!!
Choosing the Right Car for a Teen Driver When teenagers reach driving age, parents struggle with the dilemma of whether to purchase a car for their new driver and, if so, which car will keep them the safest on the road. According to a study conducted by the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the safest car for your teenager is the family car. The study found that teens who have to borrow a family car are half as likely to be involved in a fatal crash as teens that own or have a car exclusively for their own use. If you do decide to purchase a car for your teen driver, this is ultimately a compromise between the teen's perceived needs and wants (ie style, color and features) and practicality, affordability and safety considerations. Tight budgets will lead many to consider vehicles which are less reliable, higher in maintenance costs or lack active and passive safety features; however, safety should never be compromised. Below are a few features to consider when purchasing a car for your teen driver. Newer vs. Older Cars Newer cars tend to have better safety equipment, better reliability, improved gas mileage and, in some cases, lower insurance rates. Some older cars have high insurance rates because they are more often stolen (for parts) than new models. While it's common to seek out a used car for a teen driver, keep in mind that a vehicle more than three or four years old is pretty unlikely to have the latest safety equipment. For example, only in the last three years have many non-luxury cars had stability control or side airbags available. Size Means Safety It's true for all of us. It's especially true for young people though. A mid- or larger-size car could be the difference between life and death in a crash. Former National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) chief Jeffrey Runge, a former emergency room physician, recommends vehicles weighing at least 3,300 pounds for teen drivers. That rules out compact cars and most small models. Even a small car that earns five stars in most crash tests is only being judged in how well it protects in a crash with similar-size vehicles. In short, bigger is better. The lightest vehicles have the highest death rates, Minivans and large four-door cars have the lowest. Avoid SUVs Big, yes, but most safety experts caution against SUVs for teens. Young drivers tend to overcorrect when steering out of trouble, which makes them more prone to roll over their vehicle. The University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute has reported that among drivers younger than 25 in single-vehicle crashes, 37 percent of those in SUVs rolled over, compared with 30 percent of older drivers in similar circumstances. Even smaller SUVs are much less stable than a conventional sedan or coupe. SUVs also come with a higher cost of operation and more expensive insurance. Not too Fast . .. Not too Slow Either The American Automobile Association (AAA) recommends parents rule out both the quickest and slowest vehicles as unsafe - the latter could actually cause problems by being too pokey during lane changes or highway merges. Jack Peet, manager of community safety services for AAA Michigan, says vehicles that accelerate from zero to 60 mph in anywhere from eight to 11 seconds are safe bets for teens. Avoid Sporty Cars Your teen may be dreaming of driving a sporty vehicle, but the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) warns against allowing your teen to have a sport vehicle such as a mustang or convertible. Teens with these types of vehicles tend to drive in accordance with the vehicle's image. That tends to increase the crash rate along with additional danger from the poor occupant protection these vehicles provide in a crash. In fact, the IIHS's recent report on vehicle death rates not only found that small cars had the highest death toll; it found that among small cars, sporty cars have the highest death toll. Go for an Automatic Transmission While it's beneficial in the long run to instruct new drivers on a manual transmission, it is safer for the teen to not be required to concentrate on shifting. An automatic transmission will allow them to concentrate on the road conditions and their own driving. Look for These Important Safety Features ◦Antilock Brakes – Let you steer your way out of trouble, even if you have to slam on the brakes. ◦Traction Control – Sense when a wheel is losing its grip on the road and automatically takes power from that wheel, possibly transferring it to the ones that need it most. ◦Stability Control – Detect when a driver is about to lose control and applies the brakes or cuts power to keep the vehicle on course. ◦Steering Wheel & Dashboard Air Bags – Protect the driver and front passenger if your car is hit in the front or hits someone head on. ◦Side Air Bags – Protect the driver or any front seat passenger sitting on the side that gets hit in a crash. ◦Side Curtain Air Bags – Inflate down from the roof above the side windows to protect the head. ◦Seat Belt Pretensioners – Remove slack from belts when sensors detect a crash is about to occur. Review Crash Test Results As when choosing any car, it's wise to check crash test scores from the government or IIHS. The IIHS conducts crash tests and lists vehicle safety ratings based on a number of factors, with the primary factor being vehicle occupant protection. You can view the vehicle ratings and plug in a particular make and model at the IIHS Web site. When it comes down to it, buy the safest car you can afford for your teenage driver. The best vehicles for teens are often the last ones they'd choose.

TRENTON - After months of negotiations, Gov. Phil Murphy and Senate President Stephen Sweeney have reached the framework of a deal on marijuana legalization that could send the bill to a legislative vote this month.
The compromise centers around a new way to tax legal weed and strengthening the governor's control of the proposed Cannabis Regulatory Commission, which would issue licenses for dispensaries and set guidelines, parameters and regulate the New Jersey cannabis industry.
New Jersey Globe was the first to report that a deal was in place.
The biggest change as a result of the Murphy-Sweeney deal is a complete overhaul of the taxation system for marijuana. Instead of simply levying a sales tax on legal weed, the state would instead impose a flat rate of $42 per ounce of marijuana, Sweeney confirmed to reporters.
He noted that the legal weed bill was still a work in progress, even though the major issues had been agreed to.
"If you're not getting the sales and you're not generating the tax dollars, what's the sense of having a high tax rate?" Sweeney said.
NJ marijuana legalization: What will NJ get from legal weed taxes? Is 'Dr. Marijuana' a 'pioneer'? Or did NJ Green MD exploit patients to make millions? Marijuana legalization: Lessons learned from other states NJ marijuana legalization: What's next after NJ legal weed votes
The flat rate is important, as it means marijuana users will pay the same tax rate no matter what: $42 for an ounce, $21 for a half-ounce, $10.50 for a quarter-ounce or $5.25 for an eighth-ounce.
The value of that tax rate will fluctuate along with the price of cannabis, getting higher as the price drops. For example, a $42 tax on a $300 ounce is essentially a 14 percent tax. But on a $200 ounce, it represents a 21 percent tax
The most recent version of the New Jersey marijuana legalization bill, which was advanced by legislative committees in November, called for a 12 percent sales tax, which would be the lowest in the country.

In its 2018-19 budget, the Murphy administration had planned for a 25 percent sales tax ratewhen it looked like weed would still be legalized within his first 100 days in office.
The change to the make-up of the Cannabis Regulatory Commission is a simple one. As before, Murphy will still appoint three commissioners to the five-member board.
But under the new deal, he would do so without the advice and consent of the Senate — meaning the governor can appoint a commissioner without legislative approval.
COLUMN: Pushing back on Murphy's progressivism
The remaining two members would still be recommended by the Senate president and Assembly speaker, as written in the most recent version of the legal weed bill.
Even though a rough deal is in place, a new or amended bill won't be introduced until it's finalized and legislative leaders can drum up more support, ensuring it would pass.

The new Jaguar XE provides a boosted exterior style, all-new glamorous interior and advanced technologies.
Škoda is including a 3rd model to its European SUV portfolio: the Škoda Kamiq. Similar to the effective Škoda Kodiaq and Karoq, the name Kamiq likewise stems from the language of the Inuit individuals who reside in northern Canada and Greenland: it indicates something that fits completely. Being in the growing city SUV section, the Škoda Kamiq completely integrates the benefits of a sport energy vehicle-- such as greater ground clearance and a comfy seating position-- with the dexterity of a compact car. With an emotive style, advanced support and infotainment systems, a generous quantity of area and many Simply Clever features, the new Kamiq similarly satisfies the requirements of both household- and lifestyle-oriented consumers.

27 °F Wed
Express Hold Back River Lions
Thursday March 24th, 2016
Hello time traveller!!
This article is 1397 days old.
The information listed below is likely outdated and has been preserved for archival purposes.
Full steam ahead. The Windsor Express remained strong Thursday night, coming back to outscore the Niagara River Lions. For much of the game, the Express put up lots of offense, but fell behind. It wasn't long before they secured the lead – and the win. They held off Niagara in a 109-102 victory at the WFCU Centre.
Every player on the Express roster contributed to the win, with Kirk Williams Jr. leading the way with 19 points. Tony Bennett added 17 points and 8 rebounds. Sherron Collins put up 13 points and 9 assists.
A fast start from the Windsor Express helped them go on a 6-0 run to kick off the game. Niagara responded, though, tying the game, and eventually taking the lead. The Express built a bit of momentum as Brandon Robinson set up Kirk Williams Jr. for a slam. The River Lions, however, continued to sink Windsor by sinking three-pointers. This allowed the visitors to maintain a lead until the end of the first.
The Express did manage to catch up early in the second, but Niagara's Sam Muldrow hit shot after shot from outside the line to extend his team's lead. Thanks to fouls, timely rebounds and a little bit of a flurry, Windsor was able to come back a bit. Chris Commons landed a big three-pointer to help push the Express ahead. Both teams missed last second baskets to keep the score the same. Windsor was up 50-45.
Like the second quarter, the Express were off to fast start. They got a rise from the crowd when Tony Bennett chucked up a pass to Williams for a huge alley-oop. Robinson and Bennett would hit three-point shots to pick it up a notch. The River Lions weren't far behind; they hit a three-pointer of their own to bring them within two. In the final seconds, the ball went up and bounced around the rim before dropping through the hoop at the buzzer. The Express were up by eight after three quarters.
With one quarter to go, it quickly became anyone's game. Niagara remained close, and Windsor fought to keep its lead. Muldrow continued to step up for the River Lions. He stunned Williams with a giant one-handed block. Later, he hit a three-pointer to bring his team within one. The teams battled for the advantage. Late in the quarter, the Express turned up the heat. Williams sank a thunderous three-point shot, and followed up shortly after with an explosive one-handed slam with nearly a minute to go. Windsor held on, though, and just tried to run down the clock. Niagara tried to get close, but couldn't get past the defense. The Express hang on to beat the River Lions 109-102.
Windsor is back at the WFCU Centre this Saturday, March 26th at 7:30pm to take on their rivals, the London Lightning.

« Were Nigel Farage's Fascist Views In The Past At The Core Of UKip
The Corruption In UKip Is Quite Astonishing When You Start To List It! »
Nigel Farage With His Aid George Cottrell When He Was Arrested In Chicago
Nigel Farage With His Aid George Cottrell When He Was Arrested In Chicago on 21 criminal charges by the FBI!
when reading this article there will be those who are sufficiently well informed of the antics of UKips leader (owner) in the past. Those who will be aware tjhat Nigel Farage was far from trustworth in the distant past when his Father, Guy Farage, a stock broker (professional gambler) and all too often hopeless drunk, sponsored his son and when Nigel Farage was fired by the French bank for whom he worked for unreliaqble behaviour and habitually returning late and the worse for drink after self indulgent lunches.
Nigel and his brother also worked for a period for American owned Refco in London, that period was curtly curtailed when the directors of Refco were prosecuted for sharp practice and went to prison.
I am unaware as to whether Nigel Farage has as yet settled his large debts accrued whilst working in the City! Though we did note that he set out to avoid British tax by opening a bank account in the Isle of Mann tax haven in the name 'Farage Educational Trust' and on one occasion deposited £1/4 Million into the account! Though he suibsequently lied to the media about the account!
'Strange' how Nigel Farage is so frequently alongside and deeply involved with criminals yet always manages to avoid arrest! Even on such matters as the debt incurred on his behalf of some £13,500 owed to me when Mark Croucher lost the Court case he brought CLICK HERE & HERE to try to bankrupt me and shut down the steady flow of facts about UKip and the low lifes and scoundrels in their ranks, which I publish on the internet.
Nigel Farage has not even been charged for his vicarious involvement in criminal breeches of the Computer Act and burglary as admitted by John Ison in open Court etc. etc. etc.
When one's bag carrier is a criminal and your due dilligence has been incompetent you may well find your bags are at risk – one wonders just how embroilled Farage himself is in Cottrell's criminality and what indiscresions Cottrell may have placed on the record on Farage's, now confiscated, computer!
It is interesting to note that having flown to America to attend the Republican Congress Nigel Farage failed to meet with Donald Trump which must be rather demeaning for him when you consider the meetings Nikki Sinclaire has had with both Hillary & Bill Clinton when on similar visits. Though to be fair Nikki Sinclaire does have both the experience and the skills to have been an asset and worked on various US election campaigns!
Here again is Nigel Farage alongside a member of his own staff when they were arrested:
Farage aide held in US over money laundering claims: Son of glamour model who once dated Prince Charles facing years in jail after 'offering his services on the dark web'
George Cottrell was arrested and led away at Chicago's O'Hare airport
Cottrell was getting off a flight with former UKIP leader Nigel Farage
In custody awaiting trial on 21 charges including attempted extortion
By Isabel Oakeshott and Tom Kelly for the Daily Mail
Published: 22:25, 12 August 2016 | Updated: 00:25, 13 August 2016
One of Nigel Farage's closest aides faces years in a US jail after allegedly being caught in an FBI sting.
George Cottrell was arrested and led away in handcuffs as he and the former Ukip leader got off a flight in Chicago.
Cottrell, who runs Mr Farage's private office, is in custody awaiting trial on 21 charges including attempted extortion, money laundering and fraud.
Facing jail: George Cottrell was arrested by the FBI after allegedly offering to launder drugs money
The 22-year-old, whose former glamour model mother once dated Prince Charles, is accused of offering to launder money for drug traffickers after advertising his services on the 'dark web' – websites that offer privacy because they cannot be traced and need special software to access, some of which are frequented by paedophiles, criminals, hackers and terrorists.
But the 'drug traffickers' he is alleged to have dealt with were undercover FBI agents.
Cottrell, grandson of late Yorkshire landowner Lord Manton, was arrested last month as he and Mr Farage were returning from a series of engagements at the Republican Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.
Ukippered! The party chairman who posed as a pilot on a…
A trusted member of Mr Farage's inner circle, Cottrell had just agreed to take on a permanent role organising the Ukip MEP's diary and dealing with media inquiries.
His email accounts, which include details of many of Mr Farage's day-to-day arrangements, have been frozen.
Court documents filed in the US allege that Cottrell was offering money laundering services on the dark web using the alias 'Bill'.
When contacted in 2014 by FBI agents pretending to be drug traffickers, he promised to launder their cash for a fee in 'complete anonymity and security' through his offshore accounts, the documents claim.
Following a meeting with the undercover agents in Las Vegas, Cottrell arranged for them to send him £15,500, which he planned to pocket, the indictment alleges.
He is alleged to have then attempted to blackmail the 'drug traffickers' by demanding £62,000 in the form of bitcoin – a virtual online payment system – saying he would alert the authorities if they refused.
Cottrell was believed by associates to be worth £250million through a family trust fund and had been working for Mr Farage for free.
A trusted member of Nigel Farage's inner circle, Cottrell had just agreed to take on a permanent role organising the Ukip MEP's diary and dealing with media inquiries.
But the court documents claim he had a 'serious, years-long gambling problem, which inherently suggests a strong possibility of irrational risk taking'.
The US District Court in Illinois remanded Cottrell in custody while criminal proceedings continue, ruling that he posed a 'serious flight risk'.
The detention order filed in the court said that Cottrell had recently changed his name, which he claimed was to distance himself from previous involvement in political activities in the UK, an explanation the court did not find 'credible'.
Cottrell also claimed he lived with his parents near Evesham, Worcestershire, despite being listed as living at a £2.5million flat in Kensington, West London.
His mother, Fiona Cottrell, was the Penthouse 'pet of the month' in October 1973, under the pseudonym Frances Cannon, describing herself as 'daughter of a landowner'.
The images were reprinted in the magazine in 1977 after she was linked romantically to Prince Charles.
Cottrell's uncle is Lord Hesketh, a colourful hereditary peer who set up a Formula One team in the 1970s and was a Tory minister under Baroness Thatcher.
A former Conservative Party treasurer, he defected to Ukip in 2011. Cottrell was expelled from the exclusive Malvern College before sitting his A-levels.
He did not complete his education, deciding to go straight into what he has described as 'private banking'.
His arrest came three weeks after the Brexit victory in the EU referendum, as he accompanied Mr Farage to talk to US media about Brexit.
They flew from London Heathrow to Chicago's O'Hare airport, from where they had a connecting flight to Cleveland.
Cottrell's mother once dated Prince Charles
As they arrived in the US, Cottrell was briefly detained by customs officers in Chicago in what appeared to be a routine check before being allowed to continue his journey.
He and Mr Farage spent three days at the Republican Convention, where they had a packed schedule of television appearances and meetings with US senators as well as discussions with aides to presidential candidate Donald Trump.
It now appears that Cottrell was being watched by FBI officers throughout the trip.
To Mr Farage's shock, five FBI officers were waiting to meet Cottrell as they disembarked from their return flight from Cleveland to Chicago O'Hare on July 22, en route to Heathrow.
The distressed former Ukip leader – who knew nothing of his aide's alleged illegal activities – was given no information about Cottrell's arrest, and was forced to return to London without him.
The FBI has frozen all Cottrell's email accounts, leaving Mr Farage without access to his electronic diary. Four days after he was seized, Cottrell appeared briefly in court in Chicago.
An FBI spokesman in Ohio confirmed that George Swinten Cottrell was arrested on July 22 and was due to be extradited to Phoenix, Arizona.
A Ukip spokesman said: 'George was an unpaid and enthusiastic volunteer for the party over the period of the referendum.
'We are unaware of the details of the allegations excepting that they date from a time before he was directly involved in the party.'
NAME-DROPPING ARISTO WHOSE RACY MUM CAUGHT THE EYE OF PRINCE CHARLES
By Richard Kay
Friends of George Cottrell say he has always wanted to make something of his life – and that he was determined any success would be through his own efforts and not because of who he was.
Not that he was beyond a bit of name-dropping when the occasion demanded.
He claimed, for instance, that his godfather was the secretive billionaire currency trader Joe Lewis, owner of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, and suggested that he was the beneficiary of a £250million family trust fund.
Separating fact from fiction, however, is a different matter. For young George likes to construct an air of mystery around his activities and indeed his background. Unlike most young men of his age he has no social media profile. Nor does he upload pictures of his private life or of his friends.
Penthouse pet: Fiona Cottrell in the 70s
He claims that he was used to handling large sums of money because as a 12-year old his 'Irish' racing uncles regularly despatched him to the bookies with bundles of notes as they drank in bars on the racetracks.
But who might these Irish kinsmen be? For Cottrell's mother Fiona, who once bared all for adult magazine Penthouse and was pursued by a youthful Prince Charles, is the daughter of soap tycoon and Yorkshire landowner Lord Manton.
George's father Mark is a former bobsleigh competitor who dreamed of representing Britain in the Olympic Games and went to Gordonstoun, where he was a contemporary of Prince Andrew.
One of George's uncles is the colourful former Tory grandee and one-time treasurer Lord Hesketh, who famously defected to Ukip in 2011.
Alexander Hesketh, who set up a Formula One racing team recruiting James Hunt in the 1970s and who is married to Fiona's older sister Claire, did, however, once own a racecourse – Towcester in Northamptonshire.
But it was sold along with everything else when he was forced to flog off the family's nearby baroque stately home, Easton Neston in 2005.
Chain-smoking Cottrell, 22, claims he was expelled from Malvern College, where fees for boarders are £36,000 a year, before taking his A-levels and did not go to university. He told one figure that despite this he went straight into 'private banking.'
Contacted at the family home near Evesham, Worcestershire, yesterday George's 62-year-old mother said: 'I never speak to the newspapers,' and hung up.
She was not always so reticent. In 1974 she was draped naked, apart from a pink necklace, displaying her 38-23-35 figure across 11 pages of Penthouse.
Using the pseudonym Frances Cannon, Fiona described herself as the 'daughter of a landowner.'
In the accompanying text the former debutante offered some pert observations. 'My parents let me grow up believing my body is beautiful and sex in the right circumstances is wonderful.'
That might have been the end of the matter had Fiona not, some three years later, attracted the admiring eye of the Prince of Wales after meeting at a weekend house party when he was on a flying course at RAF Cranwell in Lincolnshire.
Alas his 'cautious and careful' approach in attempting to woo her was his downfall. Fiona was not the kind to sit waiting for the phone to ring.
When he finally did, she thought it was a prank and told him she already had a date with Mark Cottrell, whom she went on to marry in 1978.
With his uncle's political connections, it was perhaps no surprise that the stocky George, who has a sister Laura, 28, should find himself offering his services to then Ukip leader Nigel Farage.
At the time of his arrest last month he had just agreed to take on a permanent role organising Mr Farage's diary and dealing with media inquiries. He had been working for him for free.
Mr Farage, who likes to take troubled types under his wing, felt that working for the party gave the young man a purpose he otherwise lacked.
'They had done their due diligence on George before agreeing to hire him and found nothing to worry about,' assured an insider.
Last night that reassurance was looking rather hollow.

Q: Why won't Menendez kill Mason at the beginning of Odysseus? Storyline wise, on the mission Odysseus, why won't Menendez kill Mason?
Are they related?  Or did something happen in Black Ops I didn't get?

A: Because Menendez wants Mason to suffer like he did after his sister, the sole driving force of his life, was killed.

A: After I beat the campaign, I logged in next day and another video plays. It shows David as a kid, saving Josefina from the fire.
So may thats why he doesnt want to kill him.

New research claims women drivers are angrier than men
by Keith Morgan on Saturday, November 12th, 2016
A recent UK study of 1,000 drivers reveals women are, on average, 12 percent angrier than men are when they're behind the wheel.
Researchers found driving sparked ancient 'defence' instincts from when humans were hunter-gatherers.
These evolutionary traits kicked in during the test when women were either undertaken, shouted or beeped at, had to deal with a back-seat driver (women 14 percent angrier) or were faced with a road user who failed to indicate (women 13 percent angrier). In all test scenarios, women were more likely to respond with anger than male drivers were.
The experiment, conducted by Patrick Fagan, behavioural psychologist from Goldsmiths University London, 'sense tested' the 1,000 drivers to see how sound, sight, smell, touch and taste provoke emotional responses in different driving scenarios.
The study found there are two dominant emotions: happiness – intrinsically linked to a sense of freedom when driving – and anger when drivers feel out of control.
Explaining the results of the Hyundai UK sponsored survey, Fagan commented: "Psychologically, women score higher than men on emotional and verbal intelligence, and on the personality trait of neuroticism. Evolutionary theory suggests our early female ancestors had to develop an acute sense of danger for anything that threatened them and their young if their cave was undefended while men were out hunting. That 'early warning system' instinct is still relevant today, and women drivers tend to be more sensitive to negative stimuli, so get angry and frustrated quicker."
Other key findings include:
The primary reasons for our continued love affair with driving are the freedom it gives us (51 percent), mobility (19 percent) and independence (10 percent). If you want a man to open up, take him for a drive. Just under a third (29 percent) of men said they find it easier to have a conversation in the car. Fourteen percent added that a chat actually makes them a better driver.
Around 54 percent of Brits said the thing that made them happy in the car was singing. When the researchers looked at what makes us happy behind the wheel, 84 per cent of people said "empty roads", 78 per cent said "the countryside" and 69 per cent "the seaside."
Music also makes drivers happy. Eight out of 10 people nearly always listen to something while driving with Meatloaf's Bat out of Hell and Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody top of the driving charts. Pop (70 percent) and rock (61 percent) are the most popular genres.

Turkey showed it has Plan B in Syria: Minister
February 09 2020 15:43:07
Fatih Çekirge - ANKARA
Turkey has made alternative plans for northwestern Syria's Idlib province if the deal made with Russia for maintaining the cease-fire in the province continues to be violated, and Ankara has conveyed this message several times to its partners, Defense Minister Hulusi Akar has said.
"Our main goal is to prevent migration and humanitarian tragedy. For this, we try to provide a cease-fire and stop the bloodshed. We say, 'Adhere to this agreement'. We have checkpoints there. There is the Adana Agreement and there is a Sochi consensus with Russia. We say that this cannot be continued like this," Akar told the daily Hürriyet.
"We comply with international law and agreements. We are resolutely expressing our legitimate demands. But if reconciliation continues to be violated, we have plans B and C too. At every opportunity, we say, 'Do not force us. Otherwise, our B and C plans are ready," the daily quoted Akar as saying on Feb. 9.
Asked about these plans B and C, the minister recalled that Turkey earlier asked its strategic partners multiple times to carry out a joint anti-terror operation to clear terrorists of the region.
"We told them otherwise we had a plan B and C," he said, adding that Turkey carried out 'Operation Euphrates Shield' only a month after the coup attempt in 2016, as its partners failed to meet the proposal by Ankara.
Ankara launched operations "Olive Branch" and "Peace Spring" as well with the same determination, he emphasized.
He pointed at the fact that regime forces attack innocent people, including the elderly, women and children. Over a million people were forced to flee toward the Turkish border in the past year, he said.
"Turkey will keep its observation points in Idlib within the framework of the agreement and in this context; it will continue reinforcements," the minister stated. "Our authorized colleagues there are coordinating their supply by negotiating with their Russian counterparts. Despite this, if there is blocking, we express it very clearly, we will do whatever is necessary," Akar said.
Meanwhile, Turkey reinforces its forces in the region as many vehicles in the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) inventory were sent to the observation points in Idlib from Reyhanlı district of the southern border province of Hatay on Feb. 9 including howitzers, armored personnel carriers and ammunition, and commando deployment has been completed for the observation points in the region, news agencies have reported.

Bill Gaither said, "God speaks through all different kinds of musical styles" (David Cloud, fbns@wayoflife.org, 4-6-06). Rick Warren said, "There is no such thing as 'Christian' music; there are only Christian lyrics. It is the words that make a song sacred, not the tune. There are no spiritual tunes." (The Purpose Driven Life, p. 66)
God disagrees with them.
God says, "Speaking to yourselves in PSALMS and HYMNS and SPIRITUAL SONGS, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord." (Ephesians 5:19, KJV) If all music is neutral, then why did God instruct us to sing and play only three types?
Unsaved people know that
the tune and rhythm of rock music
is not neutral — but is sinful.
While accepting awards given to his rock band at the Australian Recording Industry Association Awards on October 18, 2004, Jet guitarist Cameron Muncey said:
"I'd like to thank God [for the awards], but I can't, because rock and roll is the devil's music."
(Cameron Muncey, David W. Cloud, fbns@wayoflife.org, 10-29-2004)
In the book, The Legacy of John Lennon, David Noebel wrote:
"Rock 'n' roll is a moral hemlock.
It is by nature a music of demonic
rebellion and protest."
(David Noebel, David W. Cloud, fbns@wayoflife.org, 7-31-2007)
Little Richard, an architect of rock and roll, said in The Dallas Morning News, 10-29-78:
"Rock-n-roll doesn't glorify God. You can't drink out of God's cup and the devil's cup at the same time. I was one of the pioneers of that music."
(Little Richard, David W. Cloud, fbns@wayoflife.org, 7-31-2007)
Lita Ford, of the heavy metal group, The Runaways, was quoted in the Los Angeles Times, on August 7, 1988:
"Listen, rock 'n roll AIN'T CHURCH. It's nasty business. You gotta be nasty too. If you're goody, goody, you can't sing or play it…"
(Lita Ford, David W. Cloud, fbns@wayoflife.org, 7-31-2007)
Shortly before his death in 1980, John Lennon (one of the Beatles), was quoted in Pop Goes the Gospel, as saying:
"Rock music has got the same message as before [back in his days with the Beatles]. It is anti-religious, anti-nationalistic and anti-morality. But now I understand what you have to do. You have to put the message across with a little honey on it."
(John Lennon, David W. Cloud, fbns@wayoflife.org., 7-31-2007)
One of the songs he partly helped write was called, Back in the USSR, which portrayed the Soviet Union as a better place (because of its girls) than the USA. He also wrote a song called, Imagine, which included lines imagining that there is no heaven, and no hell, and no religion. John Lennon said that despite the honey (the religion) that people are putting with rock and roll today; the music, by its nature, is still anti-religious, anti-nationalistic, and anti-morality.
Timothy Leary, psychologist and promoter of LSD drugs, said of rock:
"Don't listen to the words,
it's the music that has its own message… I've been stoned
on the music many times."
(Timothy Leary, David W. Cloud, fbns@wayoflife.org., 4-6-2006).
Frank Zappa, a rock musician, said:
"Rock music is _____ (immorality)."
(Frank Zappa, David W. Cloud, fbns@wayoflife.org., 4-6-2006).
Gene Simmons, of the rock group Kiss, said:
"That's what rock is all about — ______ (immorality) with a 100 megaton bomb, the beat!"
(Gene Simmons, David W. Cloud, fbns@wayoflife.org., 4-6-2006)
Tina Turner, called, Queen of Rock, said:
"Rock and roll is… naughty."
(Tina Turner, David W. Cloud, fbns@wayoflife.org., 4-6-2006)
The world openly admits that the beat of rock music tempts a person to immorality. That was the same thing that Moses and Joshua found to be true when they were coming down from the Mount with the Ten Commandments. When they heard the wild music, Joshua said, "There is a noise of war in the camp." When the camp came into view, they saw "the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot…" "Moses saw that the people were naked…" (Holy Bible, Exodus 32:17-25, KJV). Dancing, nakedness, and immorality are the message of the rock and roll beat.
Musical notes are like letters of the alphabet. Alone, they are neutral; but as soon as you place them together, they send a distinct message, either B-A-D or G-O-O-D.
What happened to the hymns?
Do you remember when church leaders told the congregation that they had to play the world's music to attract them to their services, so they could hear the gospel and be saved? They would still have a "Traditional" service (for Christians), and then a "Contemporary" service (for the lost). Why do you not see those two church services listed on most church signs anymore? Because most churches now play rock music for every service.
Did they win the world?
No. The world won them.
"Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin." (Holy Bible, John 8:34, KJV).
"Dear Lord Jesus, I do believe that you are the Son of God; that you are God Almighty in the flesh, the Creator of heaven and earth. I do believe that you are the only Savior; that you died on the cross for me, and gave your precious blood to pay my sin debt; and then you arose from the grave the third day. I do now repent of my sins, and receive you as my Savior. Please forgive me, and save my soul. Please raise up my life from sin and shame, and use it now for your glory. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."
Yes, I just asked the Lord Jesus Christ to
save me, and I desire to now live for Him.

Legend Of The Guardians: The Owls Of Ga'Hoole Review
By Rich Cline
Spectacular animation and a terrific voice cast go a long way to making this soaring adventure feel much more original than it is. Despite heavy echoes of other movies, it's thoroughly engaging and often genuinely thrilling.
Soren (voiced by Sturgess) is an idealistic owlet who dreams of one day meeting his heroes, the mythical Guardians of Ga'Hoole. Then he and his brother Kludd (Kwanten) are kidnapped by the evil Pure Ones, led by Queen Nyra (Mirren) and Metalbeak (Edgerton), as slaves for their nefarious plan. In their wasteland hideout, Soren meets the feisty dwarf owl Gylfie (Barclay), and they flee to Ga'Hoole for help. There, Soren meets the quirky Ezylryb (Rush), who helps teach him to fly properly and punctures some of his heroic ideals before they head into battle.

Paperback Romance Review
By Christopher Null
Unlikely, implausible, and unilaterally bizarre, Paperback Romance gives us the story of a crippled romance novelist (Carides) who falls for a jeweler of questionable moral fiber (LaPaglia) and imagines frequent dalliances between them -- before they become real. Through in an A Fish Called Wanda-like bumbled investigation and Romance gets even stranger. Some will enjoy the film, others will just be really, really confused. I mean, I'd take the mega-pretty Carides with or without the leg brace -- who wouldn't?

Winter Solstice Review
By Pete Croatto
The plot in Winter Solstice is more of a subplot, never mind a feature length movie. And that's one of the many problems in writer/director Josh Sternfeld's sluggish account of a New Jersey family under stress.
Anthony LaPaglia plays Jim Winters, a widower living with his two sons, Gabe (Aaron Stanford), a hard-working young man; and Pete (Mark Webber), a teenager who can't get his act together. The three are a tight unit, but the bond between them strains when Gabe suddenly announces he's moving to Florida and Pete faces yet another stint at summer school.

The Architect Review
By Chris Barsanti
Just what it is about architects that fascinates filmmakers so? Is it the metaphorical possibilities of the job, where one man has the ability to create new buildings -- and thus the potential for new lives, new communities -- out of thin air? Do filmmakers see themselves as a kind of architect, constructing with mathematical precision new realities out of nothing more than light and sound? Or is it simply the fact that having their main character be an architect allows them to have a protagonist who believably lives in a gorgeous home, has plenty of money and time on his hands, but is also a creative thinker? Advertising types are also popular for the same reason.
Whatever the case may be, Matt Tauber's The Architect is a promising but fundamentally flawed effort to use architecture as a metaphor for larger realities; in this case, the yawning chasm between one wealthy and white Chicago family (that of the architect's, natch) and a black South Side community living in a falling-down housing project designed by the architect. Leo Waters (Anthony LaPaglia, playing it gruff but a bit cooler than his usual hot-head persona) is the man of the title, living in pristine wealthy isolation with his bored and resentful children Christina (Hayden Panettiere) and Martin (Sebastian Stan) and his desperately unhappy wife Julia (Isabella Rossellini). While Leo tries to keep his family from imploding around him -- Julia practically wishes him dead, Martin despises him only slightly less, and Christina is a 15-year-old budding painfully and rebelliously on the verge of womanhood -- a mother in the project he designed, Tonya Neely (Viola Davis), is circulating a petition among her neighbors to have the place torn down. When Tonya comes to confront Leo about it in a university class he teaches, not surprisingly, the architect refuses to admit that the problems in the project, whether it's the hopelessness or violence, has anything to do with his design. It's the implementation or people, he insists from his ivory tower.

Happy Hour Review
Mike Bencivenga has probably seen Leaving Las Vegas a few too many times as well as read too much Bukowski.
And with a title like Happy Hour, I think you know what you have in store. If you like your tragicomedy steeped in whiskey, this is your movie.

The House Of Mirth Review
Draw near and bear witness to Gillian Anderson, a very successful television actress (The X Files) who is still trying to find her legs on the big screen. Like many before her, she will try a tactic that has made stars out of otherwise B-list actors: By taking the leading role in an art house flick.
Welcome then to The House of Mirth, a period piece which bears little happiness for those within. Or, ultimately, for those in the audience.

The Guys Review
By Jules Brenner
There was much pain on September 11, 2001 when so many lives were lost. Some of it was very personal and close, but it's fair to say that it affected all of us, in America and abroad. How we remember it and mourn it is a personal matter; how we pay homage to it is something still being struggled with. The Guys is one woman's way of approaching the subject with the aim of catharsis through indirect exposure to the calamity we never imagined.
Journalist Anne Nelson wrote the play of the same name then adapted it as her first screenplay for this movie. Jim Simpson, whose only directorial credit is for a segment of Tales from the Crypt, directed it. The result is not so much a movie as it is a way to reflect on the nature of the loss we all experienced to one degree or another. In this respect, it's as universal a matter as the feelings that are still being experienced.

Analyze That Review
By Bradley Null
Analyze This was a very successful 1999 comedy starring Robert De Niro as a mob boss on the verge of a nervous breakdown and Billy Crystal as his unwilling shrink. The movie pulled off a few laughs, most notably by demonstrating De Niro's ability to turn his tough-guy movie persona on its head. Analyze That is a superfluous sequel representing little more than an opportunity to cash in on that prior success.
The new movie picks up with legendary Mob boss Paul Vitti (De Niro) nearing the end of his term in Sing Sing and Dr. Ben Sobol (Billy Crystal) dealing with the recent death of his legendary father. After a series of attempts on his life, Vitti puts on a semi-catatonic act to avoid the general prison population and save his own life. The FBI, baffled by this turn of events, brings in Sobol, his former psychiatrist, to consult on the case, ultimately releasing Vitti into Sobol's custody. Thus, the reluctant doctor is forced to once again try to mend Vitti's fractured psyche, in addition to housing him and finding him an honest job. Needless to say, this wreaks havoc with the poor doctor's already troubled personal life.

So I Married An Axe Murderer Review
Shhh. Don't tell anyone. There is a legion of us Axe Murderer fans out here. Most of us live in San Francisco, but we're really quite universal. Wayne's World? Pathetic by comparison. So I Married an Axe Murderer is easily Mike Myers' best movie -- hilarious, with Myers taking his comedy to a new level not hidden within a funky costume (as in Wayne or Austin Powers). We long for a sequel. And much to the annoyance of our friends, we quote it incessantly. Give this film another chance or we'll practice the ancient from of Scottish martial arts on your ass -- Fuk Yu!

The Salton Sea Review
By Max Messier
The imagery of The Salton Sea surpasses standard noir. It's a tale of a desolate man lost in an abyss of emotional turmoil, desperately seeking redemption and revenge against unknown assailants. The film's opening shot of Val Kilmer, sitting on a barren floor surrounded by flames as he pours Miles Davis through his trumpet, delivers both the physical heat of the flames and the fiery, emotional pain of loss locked within his eyes. It's a haunting and eerily tragic moment of humanity displayed at its weakest point of existence.
The story of The Salton Sea is constructed as an updated version of a 1940s noir film. Expertly written by Tony Gayton, the film opens up with a brief history of speed, a crash course complete with 1950s housewives and Japanese kamikaze pilots. Then, the camera quickly navigates through a crazed house party and lands next to a heavily tattooed Kilmer, sitting amongst speed freaks on a four-day binge. Or maybe it's been three days. With a strong voiceover delivered by Kilmer, we learn about the double life he leads. One life is an addict and police informant known as Danny Parker, complete with numerous tats, leather pants, and skull rings on every finger. And another one, locked in his closet, is a trumpeter named Tom Van Allen, whose wife ended up dead years ago at the hands of masked men during a rest stop robbery while vacationing at the Salton Sea.

Company Man Review
I have to admit something before I write this review. I am a die-hard conspiracy nut who loves the outrageous claims of betrayals and back-stabbing that the CIA and other governmental agencies have been dealing out like drunken blackjack dealers at Circus Circus for the past 40 years. The only problem is that people like Oliver Stone, Chris Carter, and Christopher Hitchens have basically ripped apart all the really good conspiracy theories already.
What we really need is a satire of those good conspiracies from the 1960s. With that in mind, Company Man, a brazen new comedy by Douglas McGrath and Peter Askin, supplies that swift kick in the confidential files of the CIA, the FBI, the NSA, and even the Boy Scouts. It's a quick-witted, grammatically correct, and often hilarious satire aimed dead center at the conspiracy nutcases and their shining theories.
Continue reading: Company Man Review
Empire Records Review
By Eric Vanstrom
"Don't let the Man get you down." That teen angst/rebellion catchphase that everybody understands but doesn't actually mean anything is Empire Records' most cherished line of dialogue, and it also nicely captures the film's theme: Rebellion is wonderful when it doesn't mean anything. Empire is not alone. A whole spat of teen films came out in the latter half of the 1990s, trying to represent the dissonant voice of the growing "alternative" movement (e.g. grunge, Nirvana, etc.): Reality Bites being the best example. But Empire manages overcome all the rest just by the sheer number of teen film tropes and stereotypes it is able to cram into one film.
What do you do when you discover that evil capitalists are secretly planning to turn the fun, laid back, quirky independent music store you work at into a "Music Town" (e.g. Music Warehouse, Tower Records, etc.)? Why you steal the nightly deposit and take it to Atlantic City, of course. Or so confused outsider Lukas (Rory Cochrane) assumes. But after an uninspired - both visually and luck-wise - trip to the craps table, Lukas is forced to return empty handed and face the music (pun intended). However, lucky Lukas has the coolest boss in the whole world, and they get together with the rest of the Empire Records crew to fix the money problem and keep the store's capitalist pig owner and the threat of Music Town at bay.
Continue reading: Empire Records Review
Autumn In New York Review
By Athan Bezaitis
No matter how shrewd, wealthy, or debonair a man can be, in a Hollywood drama, he is always humbled by love. Richard Gere is no exception to this rule, and for the second time in a year, he is typecast in yet another implausible romantic lead. Why even bother establishing his character? Like always, he's successful, powerful, and sexy, yet unable to curb his womanizing ways. Only this time it's not Julia Roberts as the flamboyant prostitute or eccentric altar ditcher, but a weepy Winona Ryder, who is half his age and happens to be dying of a rare heart disease. Sound like a winner? It isn't.
Autumn in New York, directed by Joan Chen (Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl), is the recycled love story of a man who has it all but nobody to share it with. The tacky promo, "He taught her how to live, she taught him how to love," basically explains the plot in a nutshell. Flourishing Manhattan restaurant owner Will Keane (Gere) sees something in the beauty, wit, and innocence of young Charlotte (Winona Ryder), despite the fact that he dated her deceased mother in the past. On the flip side, Charlotte has merely a year to live and is not afraid to die because she has nothing truly worth living for. The two find sustenance in one another, but as all love stories go, they endure trying times. Winona is either too young or too sick, and he can't control his libido or escape his shady past. So they're meant for one another, but how long can it last?
Continue reading: Autumn In New York Review
Sweet And Lowdown Review
Woody Allen loves jazz. He loves jazz so much that he regularly skips the Oscars to play clarinet with his jazz combo. He talks about jazz all the time.
I love Woody Allen, really I do. I'm probably the only living critic who enjoyed Celebrity. I love jazz, too. Every Wednesday for two years, I saw a classic jazz quartet play tunes like "All of Me," "Rosetta," and "Old Man Time" in a dank cellar bar.

Trees Lounge Review
Get this tagline for Trees Lounge: "A story about one man's search... for who knows what." That could describe quite well writer/director/star Steve Buscemi during his creation of this film, a quirky and melodramatic tragicomedy about... who knows what.
Buscemi plays Tommy, a regular guy in Long Island whose life is basically a series of alcoholic binges, sprinkled with failed love affairs, cheap drugs, and terminal unemployment. A parade of supporting characters (all played by Buscemi's personal friends) run in and out of his life, and everyone tries to make some sense of it all.
Continue reading: Trees Lounge Review
By Rob Blackwelder
Director Terrence Davies took a chance casting "The X-Files'" Gillian Anderson as the devastated heroine in his adaptation of "The House of Mirth," Edith Wharton's corset opera of turn-of-the-Century social politics.
But in her first 20 seconds on screen -- speaking in deliciously eloquent dialogue and looking stunning in plumed hats with veils, fur collared dresses, brooches and a parasol -- she erases any and all memory of Agent Scully, the TV alter-ego you probably thought would haunt the actress for the rest of her career.
A drawing room drama about the whispered politics and wily business of marriage in New York high society, the film is about a beautiful young socialite whose life becomes hampered with scandal, in part because she can't reconcile her heart with the fact that she must marry well to maintain her station.
Lantana Review
Marital stress hangs like an albatross around the necks of all the primary characters in "Lantana," an viscous Australian ensemble piece that begins as an intricate, intimate web of rocky relationships and evolves into a tangled, disconcerting mystery.
Two floundering couples, connected through six-degrees-of-separation periphery, are at the center of the story. Anthony LaPaglia is Leon Zat, a police inspector who takes out his many frustrations on suspects and in bed with Jane (Rachael Blake), an almost-divorcee from the salsa dance class his wife drags him to every week. His marriage to brittle Sonja (Kerry Armstrong) has grown tepid and uncommunicative -- a fact that she regularly bemoans to her shrink, Valerie Sommers (Barbara Hershey).
Valerie is a woman who has had a hard time maintaining her professional detachment since her young daughter was murdered two years before. Her marriage to John (Geoffrey Rush), a prickly law school dean, has grown so numb since the loss of their child that they speak to each other -- even about sex -- like uneasy co-workers. And the fact that John deals with his sorrow in quietly tearful visits to the murder site while Valerie has chosen to grieve publicly, publishing a book about the killing, hasn't helped heal their rift.
Continue reading: Lantana Review
Sweet & Lowdown Review
Every time Woody Allen miscalculates and makes a movie as weak as last year's "Celebrity," I start to wonder if he's down for the count. I should know better.
Once again, Allen has come roaring back with "Sweet and Lowdown," a buoyant, saucy and deftly original faux documentary that purports to be about a fictitious jazz guitar legend named Emmett Ray (Sean Penn).
According to the old-timer radio jocks and jazz historians (writer-director Allen among them) that populate the movie's modern interview interludes, Emmett was a neurotic (no, really?), weasely egoist of a 1930s lounge lizard louse, whose curt and cocky facade barely masked a belly full of wild insecurities, the main one being that he was the world's second greatest jazz guitarist.

Geneva, 23 March 2016 – With two new cases of Ebola virus disease recently confirmed in Guinea, and three probable and two suspect cases identified, the Red Cross Society of Guinea, with the support of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), has mobilized teams of trained volunteers to aid in the response.
Forty beneficiary communications volunteers also received refresher training and have been deployed to the affected community and surrounding area to actively look for potential Ebola cases and to reinforce to residents how they can protect themselves from Ebola through proper hygiene.
The two new cases were confirmed in a remote village in the southern prefecture of Nzérékoré on 17 March 2016. They were taken to a treatment facility where one of the patients, an 8-year-old girl, has since passed away. Three other people, all members of the same family, passed away in the weeks previous, all exhibiting symptoms consistent with Ebola. A further 370 contacts have been identified and are being traced and monitored. These are the first cases since the Ebola outbreak was declared over in Guinea in late December 2015.
Working through the National Red Cross Societies of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, the IFRC's recovery plans focus on implementing food security and livelihoods projects for families of Ebola survivors and other vulnerable groups; disaster preparedness and response measures; water, sanitation and hygiene interventions in schools; community-based health and first aid programmes, and psychosocial support for those most affected by Ebola. Across the three countries, the IFRC's Ebola outbreak recovery operations total close to 89 million Swiss francs, however, the three country-specific Emergency Appeals are currently 14 per cent, zero per cent, and one per cent funded, respectively.
The world's largest Ebola outbreak claimed more than 11,300 lives, the majority of them in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.
