WrestleMania XII a fost cea de-a XII-a ediție a pay-per-view-ului anual WrestleMania organizat de promoția World Wrestling Federation. A avut loc în arena Arrowhead Pond din Anaheim, California pe data de 31 martie 1996.

Atracția principală a evenimentului a fost meciul pentru centura WWF care urma să aibă o durată de desfășurare de o oră. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, aflat atunci în rolul președintelui WWF a anunțat într-una din edițiile emisiunii Monday Night RAW că Bret Hart, campionul en-titre, care își apărase centura în fața lui Diesel la pay-per-view-ul In Your House din luna februarie 1996, trebuie să-l înfrunte pe Shawn Michaels, câștigătorul meciului de la Royal Rumble 1996 în primul meci de tipul Iron Man din istoria WWF. În acest tip de meci, câștigător este declarat wrestlerul care obține cele mai multe victorii pe parcursul a 60 de minute.

Main-eventul a fost construit în jurul imaginii celor doi wrestleri - campionul Bret Hart, care dorea cu orice preț să-și păstreze centura, și Shawn Michaels, care avusese parte în ultimele luni numai de ghinioane: a pierdut meciul din anul precedent de la WrestleMania XI, a fost agresat într-un club de noapte din Syracuse, New York, i-a cedat titlul intercontinental lui Dean Douglas la un pay-per-view în octombrie 1995 și a fost trădat de unul dintre cei mai apropiați prieteni ai săi, Diesel, la unul din house show-urile WWF desfășurate la Madison Square Garden.

Rezultate
Meci WWE Free for All: The Bodydonnas (Skip și Zip) (însoțiți de Sunny) i-au învins pe The Godwinns (Henry și Phineas) (însoțiți de Hillbilly Jim), câștigând titlul vacant WWF Tag Team Championship (5:21)

Skip a obținut victoria, numărându-l pe Phineas.
Meci Free for All: Nacho Man s-a luptat cu The Huckster, meciul terminându-se cu un no-contest
Arbitrul special al întâlnirii a fost Miliardarul Ted
Lupta a fost înregistrată anterior show-ului.
Meciul s-a terminat după ce Huckster l-a lovit pe Nacho Man cu un scaun, iar acesta l-a lovit pe Huckster cu un pantof de damă
Camp Cornette (Vader, The British Bulldog și Owen Hart) (însoțiți de Jim Cornette) i-au învins pe Yokozuna, Jake Roberts și Ahmed Johnson (12:51)
Vader l-a numărat pe Roberts, după aplicarea unui Vaderbomb.
Steve Austin (însoțit de Ted DiBiase) l-a învins pe Savio Vega (10:00)
Austin a câștigat prin pinfall, după ce l-a lovit în mod repetat pe Vega cu centura "Million Dollar".
The Ultimate Warrior l-a învins pe Hunter Hearst Helmsley (însoțit de Sable) (1:36)

Warrior a câștigat prin pinfall, după ce i-a aplicat lui Helmsley un Warrior Splash.
Aceasta a fost prima apariție a lui Warrior într-un show WWF după anul 1992, meciul marcând totodată și debutul lui Sable.
The Undertaker (însoțit de Paul Bearer) l-a învins pe Diesel (16:46)
Undertaker l-a numărat pe Diesel după ce i-a aplicat un Tombstone Piledriver.
Roddy Piper l-a învins pe Goldust într-un meci numit "Hollywood Backlot Brawl"
Meciul nu a avut un câștgător în adevăratul sens al cuvântului, regulile meciului nefiind explicate înainte de începerea lui. Pe un drum din spatele arenei Arrowhead Pond, Goldust era urmărit de Piper și a reușit să se urce la bordul unui Cadillac auriu. După aproximativ o oră, Goldust s-a întors la arena care găzduia evenimentul, Piper urmându-l în interorul clădirii. Cei doi au ajuns să se lupte în ring, după care Goldust a reușit să scape de Piper și a părăsit incinta. Întreg segmentul, cu excepția părții de final, a fost înregistrat anterior.
Shawn Michaels (însoțit de Jose Lothario) l-a învins pe Bret Hart într-un meci de tipul Iron Man, câștigând titlul de campion WWF (1:01:52)
Michaels a câștigat prin pinfall, după ce i-a aplicat lui Hart de două ori manevra sa de final - Sweet Chin Music.
După scurgerea celor 60 de minute regulamentare, rezultatul meciului era o remiză (0-0), nici unul dintre cei doi wrestleri nereușind să-l învingă pe celălalt. După anunțarea remizei, președintele Gorilla Monsoon a intrat în ring și a hotărât ca meciul să continue sub regula morții subite.

Alți participanți

De reținut
 Meciul dintre Shawn Michaels și Bret Hart reprezintă meciul cu cea mai mare durată din istoria WrestleMania.
 În partea înregistrată care reda urmărirea mașinii lui Goldust s-au folosit părți din filmarea poliției din Los Angeles, care îl urmărea pe autostradă pe fugarul O.J. Simpson.
 Logo-ul acestei ediții este inspirat din cel al companiei 20th Century Fox.
 Excluzând meciurile din segmentul Free for All, aceasta este unica ediție WrestleMania de până acum în care a fost pus în joc un singur titlu (WWF Championship).
 Aceasta este singura ediție în care pânza care acoperea ringul a avut logo-ul WrestleMania. După eveniment, pânza a fost tăiată în mici bucăți și a fost vândută prin intermediul magazinului WWF.

Watch: Shia LaBeouf quotes Eric Cantona before walking out of Nymphomaniac press conference
Sarah DeenSunday 9 Feb 2014 3:06 pm
Shia LaBeouf has been trying really really hard to be controversial again by walking out of a press conference for Nymphomaniac.
The actor was in attendance with Nymphomaniac director Lars Von Trier and his fellow cast members, when things took a weird turn.
The Hollywood Reporter reports that during the first 10 minutes of the conference, LaBeouf was asked a question about what it was like being in a movie with sex scenes.
MORE: Shia LaBeouf turns up to Nymphomaniac premiere – with a paper bag over his head.
Shia, wearing a cap pulled low over his eyes, sipped some water and replied with the quote: 'When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.'
He added: 'Thank you very much' before walking out. He was applauded for some reason.
The quote comes from former footballer Eric Cantona, who walked out of a press conference in 1995 after uttering the line. Cantona also sipped water mid-sentence.
His attention-seeking behaviour is said to have started on Saturday night, according to The Hollywood Reporter, in the lounge of the Ritz-Carlton, with the film site reporting: 'his unkempt appearance – including a missing bottom tooth – caught many of those at the Ritz off guard.'
Shia's downward spiral – or perhaps what he'd like us to think is a downward spiral – began earlier this year when he was at the centre of a plagiarism row after his short film, Howard Cantour, was accused of ripping off Justin M Damiano, a comic book by author Daniel Clowes.
Since the end of January his Twitter account has featured nothing but the repeated message 'I AM NOT FAMOUS ANYMORE'.

Philippine military chief says at least 4 foreign extremists killed
Attack helicopters were streaking low over Marawi on Monday, firing rockets at militant hideouts, as heavily armed soldiers went house to house in search of fighters
Updated: 9:03 PM CDT May 29, 2017
The Philippine military chief says three Malaysians, an Indonesian and possibly Arab extremists have been killed in a southern city that Islamic militants planned to burn entirely in an audacious plot to project the lethal influence of the Islamic State group. Gen. Eduardo Ano told The Associated Press in an interview Tuesday that the military has made advances in containing the weeklong siege of Marawi city. He says a top Filipino militant is believed to have been killed and the leader of the attack was wounded in the fighting. Ano also told AP that the extremists plotted to set Marawi ablaze and kill as many Christians in nearby Iligan city on Ramadan to mimic the violence seen by the world in Syria and Iraq.

How To Travel Amsterdam to Bruges or Ghent
Bruges (Brugge) is the historic canal city in the northwest of Belgium which attracts many tourist visitors. Nearby is the larger city of Ghent (Gent), the capital of East Flanders province. Bruges is located around 250km south-west from Amsterdam.
Travel between Amsterdam and Bruges/Ghent is possible by high speed and standard rail and competing coach services. Some people also decide to rent a car and drive.
1. Amsterdam-Bruges, Amsterdam-Ghent by Train
Travelling by train is a comfortable way to get from Amsterdam to Bruges or Ghent and can be easily booked at either the Thalys site (Thalys+Intercity) or the NS International site (all combinations) with prices from €29 one-way.
The journey is split into the following components:
(1) Travelling Amsterdam to Brussels or Amsterdam to Antwerp, which can be done either using the high speed Thalys train or by the Intercity Brussels train. The direct Thalys train runs 14x daily from Amsterdam and takes 1 hour 13 minutes to Antwerp or 1 hour 50 minutes to Brussels Zuid/Midi. The 13x daily Intercity Brussels can get you to Antwerp in 1 hour 53 minutes or to Brussels in 2 hours 48 minutes.
Note, there are also Intercity Brussels trains operating between Brussels and Den Haag HS up to 4x daily. The Den Haag-bound train does not go to Amsterdam – you need to then change in Rotterdam.
(2) From Antwerp or Brussels you take a frequent Belgian Rail Intercity service to Bruges which goes via Ghent St Pieters. If you are Bruges-bound from Antwerp you may have to change train at Ghent.
Antwerp-Ghent runs hourly taking just under 1 hour, add an extra 30 minutes to get to Bruges. The Brussels Zuid-Ghent-Bruges Intercity runs up to 4x hourly. Travel time is 30 minutes to Ghent and 1 hour to Bruges.
Expect the total journey time from Amsterdam to Bruges to be around 3 hours if taking the Thalys via Brussels and almost 4 hours if using Intercity trains to Belgium. Likewise, Amsterdam-Ghent will take about 2 hours 30 minutes using Thalys and 3 hours 30 minutes with Intercity trains.
If taking the Intercity it's really up to you whether you change in Brussels or Antwerp.
There are standard fixed prices (2020) for travel using intercity trains although cheaper early bird fares (book online in advance) are also available.
Amsterdam-Bruges one-way costs €57.60 (2nd class) or €91.00 (1st class).
Early bird one-way fares start at €29 (2nd class) and €41 (1st class) Mon-Thu and €39 (2nd class) and €55 (1st class) each way Fri-Sun. Early bird fares are valid on any service on the ticket day.
Amsterdam-Ghent prices are as follows: one-way costs €49.00 (2nd class) or €78.20 (1st class). Early bird one-way fares start at €29 (2nd class) and €41 (1st class) Mon-Thu and €39 (2nd class) and €55 (1st class) each way Fri-Sun.
These fixed fares mean you can turn up on the day and pay the standard ticket prices. Intercity fares do not have seat reservations – you just find a free seat available in your travel class.
Holders of Dutch Railways NS discount cards receive a slight fare reduction off the standard fare for the Netherlands segment of travel.
Tickets on Thalys are sold like airfares with mandatory seat reservations and prices rising closer to the travel date. You can buy an Amsterdam-Bruges or Amsterdam-Ghent rail ticket which includes the Thalys component but expect the price to be higher than the Intercity unless booking well in advance. Thalys can be booked up to 3 months out.
The main railways stations in Bruges and Ghent are about a 10-15 minute walk from the city centre.
As Belgium and Netherlands are members of the Schengen Zone agreement you do not need to go through a passport control check when travelling between Amsterdam and Bruges.
How to book train tickets online: Amsterdam-Bruges and Amsterdam-Ghent rail tickets can be easily booked at the Thalys site or the NS International site
For more info see our International trains to/from Amsterdam page.
2. Flights Amsterdam-Bruges
The nearest airport to Bruges is Ostend-Bruges (OST) about 25km from the city centre. This airport mainly deals with freight and holiday charter flights. There are no flights between Amsterdam and Bruges.
It is only possible to fly between Amsterdam Schiphol and Brussels Zaventem airports.
3. Amsterdam-Bruges, Ghent by Coach
Eurolines runs a 4x weekly coach service from its Amsterdam Duivendrecht terminal to Stationsplein Bruges (opposite Bruges main railway station). The journey time is timetabled at 5 hours 45 minutes. A one way fare starts at €14.
Eurolines offers a 6x weekly service to Ghent (bus stop at Dampoort station) which takes just under 5 hours. A one way fare also starts at €14.
Flixbus runs a 4x daily service from Amsterdam Sloterdijk to Gent taking about 3 hours 20 minutes. Two of the services are operated by subsidiary Megabus Europe. One way fares are from €12.
It is also possible to do a full day coach excursion tour from Amsterdam to Bruges and back.
4. Amsterdam-Bruges, Ghent by Car
Some travellers decide to rent a car and travel between the cities. In our experience the signs on the Belgian roads can sometimes be a little confusing – however, these days most people are using navigation systems.
The 250km Amsterdam-Bruges trip takes about 3 hours 20 minutes in total with just under 200km of motorways. From Amsterdam you would take the A2 south and then change onto the A27 – you then follow the directions to Antwerp and then onto Brugge.
Amsterdam-Gent is 220km distance and takes about 2 hours 50 minutes driving. At the Antwerp ring follow directions to Sint-Niklaas and then towards Gent.

AT&T Whistleblower: US Bill to Protect Whistleblowers 'Almost Worthless'

Preemptive Whistleblower Defense? US Military Wants the Tech to Predict Traitors
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — A proposed new bill to protect whistleblowers exposing corruption and lawbreaking in US government contractors would be almost completely ineffective if passed into law, AT&T/National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower Mark Klein told Sputnik.
"Such bills are almost worthless because the protection of whistleblowers, especially in national security agencies, is a political decision which the top leaders of the two parties do not want to take," Klein said on Friday. "So this latest bill is just for show and does not touch upon real requirements."
On Thursday, a bipartisan group of US House of Representatives members unveiled a Whistleblower Protections for Contractors Act (H.R. 5920), following movement last month on a similar bill in the US Senate.
However, Republican and Democratic leaders in practice had repeatedly punished principled whistleblowers rather than rewarding them, Klein observed.
"[I]n fact they would prefer to crack down on whistleblowers to make their 'national security' credentials shine," he stated.
Klein cited the case of NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake who went through official channels to register his complaints.
But Drake then "was rewarded by prosecution under Republican [President George W.] Bush, while the Democratic congressional leaders would not lift a finger to help him," Klein recalled.
Conditions for whistleblowers had gotten even worse under current President Barack Obama, Klein noted.
"Under Obama, as you know, more whistleblowers have been prosecuted under the Espionage Act than any other US president," he said.

The proposed new legislation would offer contractors the same legal protections that were already supposed to protect whistleblowers within US government agencies, but in practice failed to do so, Klein remarked.
"[T]o bring contractors into the same 'protections' afforded regular government employees is almost a mockery," he warned.
Klein also observed that the congressmen proposing the new legislation had not made any effort to offer amnesty to former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
Snowden would have been covered by their legislation if it had been in place when exposed the massive secret NSA surveillance over the American people, Klein added.
"I would be more convinced of their sincerity if they moved to grant Edward Snowden, a contractor, amnesty for his whistleblowing and let him come home. Instead both parties want to jail him and even kill him for so-called 'treason,'" he said.
Klein is a now-retired 22-year AT&T employee who, in 2006, exposed that the company had a secret room in its San Francisco facility where the NSA had been allowed to record all Internet traffic on AT&T's backbone lines.

We've raised £60 to Visit the Red Tribe foundation among the Masaai Tribe community, helping out in the school and the clinic that they have created.
As some of you may know, I am currently taking part in the New Wine Discipleship Year, and I am based in a church in Ealing, London.
As a part of our Discipleship Year, we have been offered the opportunity to go out to Kenya to look at the work that missionaries Henni and Becca are doing with their organisation Red Tribe. They work with the Masaai Tribe, and have created a school and a clinic to help the local community. Becca also works with the Masaai women, starting a beadwork business that is paying for the salaries of the teachers in the school.
We will be going out to visit them and to help out as much as we can in the week that we will be out there at the end of March. We all need to raise about £1000 in order to pay for our flights, food and accommodation. We would also like to be able to bless the community with some funds.
If you would be able to donate anything, that would be greatly appreciated!

Epoch released the Japan-exclusive TV Vader in 1980, which was a Space Invaders clone that could be played at home.
Space Invaders is a Japanese shooting video game released in 1978 by Taito. It was developed by Tomohiro Nishikado, who was inspired by other media: Breakout, The War of the Worlds, and Star Wars.[1] It is one of the forerunners of modern video gaming and helped expand the video game industry from a novelty to a global industry.[2][3] It was first released as an arcade game and later remade on different platforms; re-releases include ported and updated versions. Ported versions generally feature different graphics and additional gameplay options, including moving defense bunkers, zigzag shots, invisible aliens, and two-player modes.[4]
Taito released numerous sequels and spin-offs, many of which have also been remade on multiple platforms, including home consoles and handheld devices. Follow up titles are typically released in celebration of the original's anniversary. The first sequels were primarily released in arcades, while later titles were released on portable devices. Sequels often added power-ups and incorporated new gameplay mechanics--like three-dimensional playing fields, bosses, and rhythm-action--to the original's design.[5] Most titles were released internationally, though some are exclusive to select regions. The games have received different receptions: the Atari 2600 port of the original became the video game industry's first "killer app", while some sequels were regarded as insignificant updates.[4][6]Space Invaders and several of its arcade sequels are often included in video game compilations released by Taito. It inspired numerous other games;[7] many companies created clones that copied its gameplay (such as Super Invader and TI Invaders), while others built upon the original's gameplay (such as Galaxian and Galaga).

An urban legend blames the game for causing a shortage of yen in Japan, which led to an increase in production of 100-yen coins;[2][15] however, 100-yen coin production was lower in 1978 and 1979 than in previous or subsequent years.[16][17] The claim also doesn't hold up to logical scrutiny: arcade operators would have emptied out their machines and taken the money to the bank, thus keeping the coins in circulation.[17] Reports from those living in Japan at the time indicate "nothing out of the ordinary ... during the height of the Space Invaders invasion."[17]
By 2007, it had generated almost US$500 million in revenue.[15]
Several publications attribute the expansion of the video game industry from a novelty into a global industry to the success of the game.[2][3][18][19][20]
The Atari 2600 version was the first official licensing of an arcade game and became the first "killer app" by quadrupling the system's sales.[4][21]
The Atari versions feature different sets of gameplay variants.[4]

IMF urges CBN to implement flexible forex regime
By Mathias Okwe (Abuja), Chijioke Nelson and Victor Ifeanyi Uzoho (Lagos)
Emefiele and Adeosun
• Tasks Nigeria, Angola on Africa's resurgence
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has enjoined the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to implement a flexible foreign exchange regime by focusing on macro-economic stability to set the stage for a robust growth.
Its Director for African Department, Mr. Abebe Aemro Selassie, gave the charge yesterday while officially unveiling the sub-region's growth forecast for 2017 in Abuja with the theme: "Sub-Saharan Africa: Restarting the growth engine."
According to him, Nigeria and Angola are tipped to drive growth recovery in the region expected to reach 2.6 per cent at the end of the 2017 fiscal year.
This thus reaffirmed Nigeria's top position in driving the economy of the continent back to stability despite her current challenges. It is also a verdict that the ongoing monetary gymnastics by the CBN shall do little to lead Nigeria out of the woods without a clear fiscal roadmap.
The IMF's Head of the African Region said: "In addition, where available, greater exchange rate flexibility and the elimination of exchange restrictions will be important to absorb part of the shock. The second priority is to address structural weaknesses to support macro-economic rebalancing. Structural measures are needed to ensure a sustainable fiscal position and help achieve more durable growth by improving tax collection, strengthening financial supervision, and addressing long-standing weaknesses in business climate that impede economic diversification.
"Finally, the third priority should be to strengthen social protection for the most vulnerable people.
"The delay in implementing much-needed adjustment policies is creating ambiguity, holding back investment, and risks generating even deeper difficulties in the future."
Selassie, who presented a publication at the event attended by the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun and CBN Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, urged strong policy decisions by leaders on the continent with a view to changing her dwindling economic fortunes.
He said economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa would recover slightly from the more than 20-year low growth to 2.6 per cent this year.
But for the World Bank, there is a growth expectation of the 2.6 per cent growth forecast expanding to 3.2 per cent in 2018 and 3.5 per cent in 2019.
Selassie also said expectations of higher public spending ahead of elections in Angola, and the fading effects of drought in South Africa would support the trend.
He, however, maintained that resource-rich countries like Nigeria, Angola and Central Africa's six-nation bloc would still struggle to deal with the losses caused by low oil prices.
Selassie further reiterated that sub-Saharan Africa remains a region with great potential for growth in the medium-term provided strong domestic policy measures are implemented.
