EC says it may authorise Mozambican airline Lam to fly to Europe
The European Commission said Thursday in Brussels that it may take Mozambican flagship airline Linhas Aéreas Moçambicanas (LAM) off the list of airlines banned from flying to the European Union (EU) is the Mozambican authorities keep up with the "promising progress" made so far.
For the 23rd time the commission updated its blacklist of airlines banned from operating in EU airspace. It kept a ban in place on airlines from Angola – with the exception of TAAG under strict conditions – Mozambique and Sao Tome and Principe, but in Mozambique's case noted the progress that had been made since the previous review of the list in December 2013.
Lam has been barred from flying to the EU since April 2011.
Angolan airline Linhas Aéreas de Angola (TAAG) has been authorised only to fly into Portugal since July 2009. (macauhub)

The Washoe County District Attorney's Office has announced that a Reno man has been sentenced to 13 years in prison on a charge of possession of a stolen motor vehicle. This sentencing is the most recent in which the prosecutor sought and received habitual criminal status based on the defendant's lengthy criminal history that spanned over twenty years and included multiple theft and forgery offenses. The sentence ensures the defendant must serve a minimum of 5 years in prison before parole eligibility begins.
Douglas Lee Reeves, 42, from Reno pled guilty in May to one count of Possession of a Stolen Motor Vehicle and was sentenced to 13 years in prison by Judge Lynn Simons. Reeves was arrested in January by detectives with the Northern Nevada Repeat Offender Program (ROP). ROP Detectives apprehended Reeves outside his Reno apartment after locating him in possession of a stolen truck. At the time of his arrest, Reeves was wanted by Lyon County for destruction of property of another. After his arrest, Deputy District Attorney Chelsea Mazza filed criminal charges against Reeves, including notice of intent to seek habitual criminal adjudication.
The Washoe County District Attorney's Office continues to work closely with the Northern Nevada Repeat Offender Program on cases involving habitual criminals. In this case, the conviction as a habitual offender resulted in a significantly longer maximum sentence than the 1 to 5 year term for one count of possession of a stolen vehicle.

Here's Why Roku Has A Chance To Win The Streaming Wars
Sean Hollister
Filed to:steal this idea
The single best reason to buy a Roku? You're looking at it. Roku is the only streaming media box that does all the comparison shopping for you. Why pay $3 to rent a movie when you can stream it with your existing Netflix plan, or on Crackle for free? And soon, Roku's comparison shopping will become more powerful than ever thanks to a brand-new feature.
That new feature is called the Roku Feed. And I think it—or a derivative—could change how we watch movies.
First, some background: Today Roku announced a bunch of pretty simple updates to its lineup of streaming media boxes. Individually, they don't sound like such a big deal.
The $50 Roku Streaming Stick is getting a little faster
The $70 Roku 2 is getting a lot faster (as fast as the Roku 3, but it loses the "marriage saver" headphone jack on the remote)
The $100 Roku 3 adds a microphone so you can search for things with your voice instead of hunt 'n peck on a keyboard floating in the middle of your TV
The smartphone companion app adds voice search too, so you don't have to buy a Roku 3
Clearly, voice search is going to be pretty damn convenient. Hell, I'm a born California journalist, and I still have trouble spelling Ah-nold's last name. Way easier to find a classic action film just by speaking into a microphone, as long as Roku has such a film in stock—and with the sheer volume of Roku channels on offer, chances are I'll find plenty.
But what about brand-new movies, ones still in theaters—or in the legal limbo that exists between when studios will let you rent a film that's out on DVD? That's the whole idea behind the new Roku Feed.
The Roku Feed is pretty simple. You pick from a list of upcoming movies, ones with a lot of buzz. You know, the kinds of movies you might want to go see in theaters, but haven't decided if you want to spend $8 a pop?
If you decide, "No, I'm not going to drag my family to the overpriced theater," you've now got a new, intriguing option.
You can choose to "follow" that movie with Roku, and in exchange, Roku will let you know every time it comes down in price over the entire "streaming lifecycle" of the flick. The first time you see it, perhaps it costs $15 to purchase. Too rich for your blood? A couple weeks later it might be available to rent on Vudu for $5 instead. Perhaps M-GO will have a dollar special. And eventually, perhaps it'll be included free with your Amazon Prime, Netflix or Hulu Plus subscription.
Theaters are going to hate this—hate, hate, hate—because it could mean that going to the theaters will no longer be the only mass movie watching event. The same way people organize themselves in social groups (and on social media) to watch the latest episodes of hit new TV shows—so too could they do with streaming movies at each of these different price tiers.
In this future I'm imagining, people won't just individually, eventually, suddenly notice that a movie they wanted to watch is available to stream anymore. Everybody who subscribes to their favorites will get notified, giving streaming movies de facto street dates. We'll all stream movies together.
"Check back later" — Seriously?
As soon as someone figures out how to actually notify them, that is. Right now, the way Roku displays the feed is pretty damn limiting: you actually have to go to a place called "My Feed" on your Roku box to see what's new, and if any of the movies you're "following" have magically become available while you were looking the other direction.
Clearly, this isn't optimal. Obviously, there should be a smartphone app that pushes you notifications whenever your long-awaited content arrives—perhaps even help you plan a viewing party by hooking into social media. There's a big opportunity here.
But strangely, it's an opportunity that these streaming pioneers seem to be overlooking as they're launching their new products. Neither Sling TV nor PlayStation Vue—two new services which let you stream live television over the internet—have any sort of notification system to tell you when your favorite programming will appear. Like Roku, their creators seem to believe that would-be customers will just sit down and start watching whatever's available instead of planning ahead. My wife and I chat daily about what to eat for dinner when she gets home. Why can't my wife and I plan dinner and a movie the same way we would if a theater were involved?
It doesn't have to be this way—and I bet it won't be for long. Someone will build a platform that aggregates, organizes, and notifies cinema and television lovers about all the options out there—both live and on-demand—and my money's on Roku. The company's clearly on the right path, and Roku has the most to lose. There's no need to buy a Roku box when any old smartphone or dongle can stream Netflix, after all.
Today, you buy a Roku to save time and money finding content you could probably stream somewhere else. Tomorrow, you might buy one to opt into a new movie-going lifestyle—one where your friends come along for the ride. One where you stream movies you'd never considered streaming at all.

Home » News » The Dummies guide on how to write off bad debt in Quickbooks.
Because of so many features within QuickBooks it sometimes becomes really hard to keep a tap on every possible thing. But no worries, as we are here to help. Please make sure that if you are not able to follow along the process on how to write off bad debt in QuickBooks then dial us to talk to our QuickBooks Proadvisor.
Connect with our QuickBooks Support number at 1800-940-7442.
How to Write Off Bad Debt in Quickbooks?
Offset the credit memo against the invoice.
We are also gonna give you an alternative method for doing just that.
The first thing we'll do is set up the bad debt expense account by going to the chart of accounts and creating a new account. We want to have it be an expense account that we're gonna call bad debt expense or just bad debt.
Once that is set up you now need to set up a bad debt item for invoicing and link it to that bad debt expense accounts. So again the list item let's create a new item, I like to use all their charge for this one. Now give it a name of bed debt write-off and Link it over here to bad debt expense that you just set up. Leave the amount blank because that's always gonna be custom based on what you're writing off as well. In the description I usually put the invoice number than writing off in there just to leave a paper trail.
Next thing we'll do is go find a customer that has an invoice to write off we go to our customer center. We are gonna select any customer here with an invoice.
We'll go with the first let's go with these guys here alright this one has let's say this payment right here $7,500 original invoice number seven fifty five hundred. Do so if we're gonna write that off we're gonna create a credit memo for that customer.
We'll just do it with a data today items gonna be bad debt that we just set up and get right off invoice seven for the description fifty-five hundred and now this is really important why we use credit memo.
If it was originally taxed you would select tax here and if not you would select non-taxable that's why we like the credit memo for writing off bad debt. It is because it allows you to adjust the tax liability. The sales tax liability do the other alternative method that I'll show you doesn't and this is why we prefer the credit memo so if we save that it's going to give us a couple options. Here retain as a credit we can offset it later, give a refund or apply to an invoice.
So if we say apply to an invoice and select the one that we want to apply which is this one invoice seven and select done. Now you're all set so that's the best way the preferred way because again you can adjust the sales tax liability.
Hope now that you are sorted, if you need any further help then get in touch with Our QuickBooks Support team at our tollfree number at 1800-940-7442.

Is Satan Tormenting People In Hell?
If we look at what the Bible says on this topic, yes, Satan can torment people in hell now.
Luke 12:46 says, "He shall be beaten with many stripes, or beaten will few."
Who is doing the beating?
John Wesley in the Parallel Commentary page 222 says, "For the executioners of God's vengeance are at hand, and when he at once delivers you over to them, you are undone forever."
In Matthew 18:34 Jesus said, "Deliver him to the tormentors."
Who is doing the tormenting?
Matthew Henry's Commentary page 1709 says, "Devil's, the executioners of God's wrath, will be their tormentors forever."
Psalm 50:22, "Now consider this, you who forget God,lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver" Who is tearing them to pieces?
Matthew Henry's Commentary page 816, "Those who will not consider the warnings of God's word, will certainly be torn to pieces by the executioners."
Are the executioners demons?
Job 33:22, "His soul draweth near to the grave [Sheol], and his life to the destroyers." Are the destroyers demons?
Dr. Erwin Lutzer in his book, One Minute After You Die page 25, said, "It is understandable that demonic spirits would await all those who enter eternity without God's forgiveness and acceptance."
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown's Commentary page 395 says, "angels of death commissioned by God to end man's life."
In Matthew 24:51 Jesus said, "He will cut him in pieces and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites, where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
Who is cutting them in pieces?
Luke 19:27, "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me."
Who is doing the slaying?
Matthew Henry's Commentary page 1653, "God does often, for wise and holy ends, permit the efforts of Satan's rage, and suffer him to do the mischief he would, and even by it serve his own purposes. The devils are not only Christ's captives, but his vassals."
John Bunyan (who wrote Pilgrim's Progress) also wrote the book, Visions Of Heaven and Hell." In this book he records the angel that escorted him in his vision of hell as saying, "The Devils are the Almighty's agents and just executioners of his deserved vengeance against sinners."
Josephus said, "This region (Sheol) is allowed as a place of custody for souls in which angels…who distribute to them temporary punishments …they are dragged by force…by the angels allotted for punishment…to reproach them and to threaten them with their terrible looks, and to thrust them still downwards."
Man and Satan are also in the same pit. Look at these verses:
Isaiah 14:12-15 says, "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer…Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell (Sheol), to the sides of the pit."
"Sheol," is the current hell, and the word for "Pit," is the word, "Bowr."
These next verses use the same word, "bowr," for "Pit" and state that men are cast down to "bowr." (Num. 16:30-33; Job. 33:18; Ps.28:1; 40:2; 88:4, 88:6; Pr. 1:12; Is. 38:18). This indicates that man and Satan and his demons are in the same pit.
Isaiah 24:21-22 mentions the host of the high ones (fallen angels) and the kings of the earth (Man), are gathered together in the prison, in the pit (Bowr). Fallen angels and man are in the same pit. Why would demons leave a person alone? They were allowed to torment people and even possess them while on the earth. Would hell be any less?
Matthew Henry's Commentary page 1752, "the devil and his angels are already made prisoners in the pit"
He goes on to say, "if they (rebellious sinners) must be doomed to such a state of endless misery, yet may they not have some good company there? No, none but the devil and his angels, their sworn enemies, that helped to bring them to this misery and will triumph over them in it. They served the devil while they lived, and therefore are justly sentenced to be where he is…"
There are many books written, and several by Dr. Maurice Rawlings in which he documents many near death and clinical death experiences. Many of those who were not professing Christians saw demons waiting for them to die, and drag them off to hell. Each person who actually saw the demons was terrified. There are also many books written of those who have had a vision or dream of hell. Most saw demons and fire, felt the heat, smelled the foul odors, and some saw the demons tormenting people in hell. Their accounts were very similar.
I personally experienced the demons in the vision God gave me. I have also met many others over the years who saw hell and the demons. What is most important though is what scripture says.

Students of BIM have always distinguished themselves from others in one way or the other. We think that this is due to the environment they are in- The lush green campus at the heart of an Industrial giant- BHEL. Our students take up various activities ranging from managing the student welfare, mess to sports events. The whole of hostel and some administrative tasks are managed by the students here. They get hands on experience in doing so. The challenges they face and the solutions they provide can be extrapolated to the industry as well.


Creates a HashMap where the keys and values are computed from the iterable.
For each element of the iterable this constructor computes a key/value pair, by applying key and value respectively.
The keys of the key/value pairs do not need to be unique. The last occurrence of a key will simply overwrite any previous value.
If no values are specified for key and value the default is the identity function.


As many of you all know, one of the most commonly theorized fan endings for Life is Strange, is a "Sacrifice Self" ending: An ending where Max ends up getting shot instead of Chloe.
This project is my own take on this ending. I used raw audio files from the game itself to put together this ending.
Please message me via my fanpage!
I would love to see this scene rendered in UE4 or other 3D software!!
MP3 file is in the video description for download!
Wow. :D I'm impressed, mate. :thumb: This was very nicely done.
Anyone can make this ending for me: same as SAB but warren is in the street, and chloé hit him with full gas! and both max and chloé laugh and then leave AB.

So, what is being taught in Kentucky's classrooms?
Education, News, Transparency and AccountabilityBy Richard Innes May 29, 2019
And, how would we know?
And, how will vague standards for social studies improve anything?
It is interesting that at the same time we are very concerned about forthcoming changes to the social studies standards in Kentucky's public schools, a nationally-known education reporter, Stephen Sawchuk of Education Week, is writing about the absence of news coverage discussing what is actually getting included in the day-to-day classroom instruction.
In The Hidden Stories on Classroom Curriculum, Sawchuk writes, "What students learn every day in their classes is the core of the K-12 enterprise. And yet, unless it's part of a really terrible lesson that goes viral, content is rarely the focal point for education news coverage." Continues Sawchuk, "Curriculum quality is one of those hiding-in-plain-sight stories."
The story is indeed hiding in Kentucky. But, it's a major problem in the Bluegrass State, where the state's commissioner of education, Wayne Lewis, recently offered the following comments:
"There is significant variation, to Mr. Innes' point, significant variation in the quality of curriculum that is adopted at the local level."
"We have everything from schools that have really researched and done an amazing job of adopting really high quality, rigorous curriculum that aligns with the standards and, unfortunately, we still do have some schools in Kentucky – not just in social studies – that do not have curriculum."
So, even per the Kentucky Commissioner of Education, Kentucky has a major problem with curriculum quality at the very same time curriculum and the classroom activities directed by that curriculum are receiving scant attention in the press.
Thus, Kentucky has a big problem, but even Sawchuk knows the public isn't being informed about it.
This is an especially serious situation just now as the state is poised to adopt some really vague and deficient social studies standards. Those new standards are supposed to guide curriculum developers as they develop their detailed, day-to-day instructional plans. Vague standards don't provide adequate guidance to the curriculum folks (or, for that matter, to test writers, either).
In any event, the Bluegrass State is perilously close to seeing those deficient social studies standards, which don't even mention Abraham Lincoln or Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., become the only guidance our state curriculum writers and test developers are going to get. If the legislature's Interim Joint Education Committee doesn't take action, the standards will go into effect.
Sawchuk would probably be unhappy, and I guarantee a lot of Kentuckians will be once they finally learn what is going on. But, as Sawchuk points out, this might not be something you will hear about in the mainstream media. So far, as Sawchuk laments, it seems like the media folks just aren't paying much attention.
Wasteful spending, dangerous policy: Louisville's parole-to-payroll program
Pension reform, Reduce Government SpendingBy Sarah Durand May 28, 2019
Louisville has taken center stage in the state's pension crisis debate as the city's pension liabilities have led to a $35 million budget shortfall. Rather than helping the state reform our pension system to protect taxpayers as well as both current and future pension holders, or cutting wasteful spending in his budget, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer asked Metro Council to raise taxes – a request they thankfully rejected.
To make up for the pension-caused shortfall, Fischer is asking for cuts to police and emergency services while fighting to continue paying for his pet projects like bikes lanes, a summer jobs program for teens, and tree-planting.
But, perhaps the most egregious wasteful spending is the $3.2 million for the Office of Safe and Healthy Neighborhoods.
This office, created by Fischer, hires vendors to utilize full-time taxpayer-funded employees called "interrupters" who are tasked with "interrupting" crime. One of the requirements to be an interrupter is you have to have a criminal background – law-abiding citizens need not apply.
Oddly, these criminals-turned-crime-fighters have no direct contact with Louisville Metro police. While LMPD faces $5 million in cuts and the loss of over 20 police officer positions, one of the points the Director of the Office of Safe and Healthy Neighborhoods used to justify funding of his office is that "it includes the work we are doing to support folks who made a mistake and are coming back into our community." It's as if this program is meant to basically pay felons to behave.
However, not all are behaving. In recent weeks, one taxpayer-funded interrupter was arrested for allegedly choking, punching and raping a woman. This felon had only been released from prison six months before his hiring, having served his sentence for drug convictions and – similar to his current crime – assault after he strangled a woman.
It's disturbing that the current administration refers to violence against women as simply a "mistake" and that they would recommend this violent criminal for a position at the YMCA where he had access to women, children and the general public – all of whom had no clue that he had a previous criminal history.
Checks paid directly to Eddie Woods year-to-date for FY 2019 (Source: Louisville Checkbook)
One of the city's vendors providing interrupters is No More Red Dots. They receive approximately $900,000 from the city yearly and city checks are paid directly to Eddie Woods, the head of the program – nearly $900,000 tax dollars are paid to him as an individual under his Social Security number rather than being paid to the organization. At the latest meeting of the Metro Council budget committee, Councilman Kevin Kramer pointed out that paying a contract of this size directly to an individual is highly unusual.
Another red flag: the organization is not registered with the IRS and has had several years of noncompliance with the Secretary of State, according to Councilwoman Marilyn Parker.
Louisville's parole-to-payroll program isn't working and it's dangerous. The city should follow in the footsteps of the Chicago Police Department which, according to news reports, no longer works with interrupters after discovering the program was being used to funnel tax dollars to fuel drugs and violence after one of its leaders was indicted on federal charges for gang and drug activities.
Unfortunately, the reality is if it's not warm and fuzzy, Louisville's mayor doesn't want to deal with it. He's no more interested in dealing with the wasteful spending in his own budget than he is in helping those in Frankfort fix our pension crisis. However, he will use any crisis he can to raise Louisville taxes.
School-Based Decision-Making (SBDM) and Kentucky's proposed social studies standards
Education, Transparency and AccountabilityBy Richard Innes May 25, 2019
During the May 14, 2019 meeting of the Kentucky Legislature's Administrative Regulation Review Subcommittee, I testified about a number of concerns with a very deficient change to Kentucky's public school social studies standards. The committee was considering the regulation (704 KAR 8:060) that would actually implement those standards statewide. In my testimony I pointed out that weak standards (Example: History is part of social studies in Kentucky, but Abraham Lincoln is never mentioned in the proposed standards!) create tremendous burdens for each public school's School-Based Decision-Making (SBDM) council when those councils have to convert vague standards into the detailed classroom curriculum that guides each day of classroom instruction.
My testimony obviously impressed State Senator Stephen West because later in the meeting he directed some pointed questions to Dr. Wayne Lewis, Kentucky Commissioner of Education, about the performance of individual SBDM councils across the state.
In his response, Dr. Lewis essentially admitted that the standards had been made weak on purpose, and the fault rested with Kentucky's SBDM laws.
Dr. Lewis didn't get things right, however, and you can click the "Read more" link to find out how and what you can do about it.
Quote of the Day – Skills Vs. Content in Education
"We have a mania for teaching skills because we are uncomfortable agreeing on content."
David Steiner, Executive Director, Johns Hopkins Institute for Education Policy and former state education commissioner for New York
In the Education Writers' Association's "The Hidden Stories on Classroom Curriculum" by Stephen Sawchuk, Associate Editor, Education Week
Note: This problem of balancing skills with content directly relates to problems with the proposed revision to Kentucky's social studies standards, which place far too little emphasis on content.
Bluegrass Beacon: Adkins could reap millions in pension windfall
Bluegrass Beacon, Election, Pension reformBy Jim Waters May 24, 2019
The primary election is upon us, turnout will be low;
For those who vote Democratic, there's something you should know;
Much is at stake in your primary, perhaps more than meets the eye;
Rocky Adkins really wants to be governor; did you ever wonder why?
Adkins, a Democratic representative from Sandy Hook – which got its name from the fishhook-shaped bend in the Little Sandy River where the community settled in the 1820s in what is now Elliott County – wants to hook enough voters to escape Tuesday's gubernatorial primary against Attorney General Andy Beshear and former Auditor Adam Edelen, his more-progressive opponents.
While Adkins probably has altruistic reasons for wanting Kentucky's top political job, he also has an added incentive not available to his opponents: the ability to spike his legislative pension and become a millionaire twice over, courtesy of the taxpayers.
Legislation passed in 2005 allows lawmakers receiving part-time pay while in the General Assembly to be appointed or elected to a full-time position in state government and apply the highest three years of salary to their legislative pension, even though their work was in, say, the executive branch.
Lawmakers' pensions are based on the average of their three highest-salary years multiplied by their years of service and a benefit factor, which is 2.75 percent for legislators who became members of the legislative pension system after 1982, including Adkins, who first came to the legislature in 1987.
Should Adkins serve four more years in the legislature – at which time he will have "maxed out" of the legislators' retirement plan by reaching the point where his pension benefits equal 100 percent of his legislative pay – he would retire with an annual legislative pension of less than $32,000, according to an analysis of lawmakers' salaries reported by the Legislative Research Commission.
However, Adkins winning the gubernatorial election would be Kentucky's political version of James Holzhauer's performance on Jeopardy, where the contestant-phenom has already pocketed $1.7 million, which is nearly what the longtime lawmaker would receive in additional pension benefits during his expected lifetime were he to become governor.
What is pension pork, anyone?
House Bill 299 passed in 2005 would allow Adkins to use the highest three years of salary he would earn as governor to spike his legislative pension – from less than $32,000 to nearly $140,000, based on an average of the governor's salary during the past three years.
Adkins' legislative pension, which would spike by nearly $108,000 after his first term as governor, would be even higher should he win reelection.
Were this guitar-picking politician from the east to serve two terms as governor, his pension would rival the chief executive's current salary of nearly $149,000.
But let's not get too optimistic here about his political chances; voters still must decide.
Conservatively, if Adkins were to serve a single term as governor and then retire, he would – based on life-expectancy tables for a white male born on Nov. 4, 1959, which this year happens to fall on the day before the General Election – reap a lifetime windfall of nearly $2 million in additional pension benefits than had he retired from the legislature.
No wonder HB 299 was known as "the greed bill."
Ridding Kentucky of this corrupt reciprocity-enabling scourge was part of omnibus pension legislation struck down by the Kentucky Supreme Court in December.
That should not prevent legislative leaders from correcting this egregious policy in a separate bill during the first week of the 2020 session of the General Assembly, even if – especially if – Adkins is governor.

Will future Kentucky students understand and appreciate Memorial Day?
It's kind of ironic. In preparation for Memorial Day, the Cincinnati Enquirer just published "He jumped on a grenade: Vietnam veterans remember sacrifice that allowed them to live," a story about combat action in the Vietnam War that led to one soldier receiving the Medal of Honor and others getting awards for valor, as well.
The irony here is that a pending revision to Kentucky's social studies standards includes no mention what-so-ever to either the country of Vietnam or the Vietnam War. In fact, the terms "Southeast Asia" and "Southeast Asian" don't appear anywhere in this social studies document, and social studies is supposed to include geography as well as history.
The Vietnam vets are not the only ones getting slighted. Also unmentioned in the social studies standards revision are the Korean War and the Persian Gulf wars.
At present, only one legislative review before the Interim Joint Committee on Education remains before these deficient standards get final approval.
If you think every Kentucky child should learn about Vietnam and other armed conflicts after World War II and a whole lot more that the proposed standards leave out, you need to tell your legislators — now.

Transparente werden auf Demonstrationen oder anderen Massenveranstaltungen benutzt, um plakativ Meinungen kundzutun. Meist bestehen sie aus einem Stück Stoff, das vor oder neben der Demonstration getragen oder mit Hilfe von Stangen über den Köpfen der Demonstranten gehalten wird. Bei unbewegten Demonstrationen, wie Mahnwachen und Sitzblockaden, werden Transparente auch gerne an Bäumen, Straßenlaternen oder Ampeln usw. befestigt oder zur dauerhaften Meinungsäußerung an Hausfassaden angebracht, was häufig an besetzten Häusern zu sehen ist.

Eng verwandt mit dem politisch motivierten Transparent finden sich auch die Begriffe Spruchband und Banner. Transparente, Spruchbänder und Banner können von Demonstrationsteilnehmern – mehr oder weniger spontan – selbst angefertigt sein. Oft werden sie aber auch vom interessierten Veranstalter beschafft und den Teilnehmern, ggf. nur temporär, zur Verfügung gestellt.

Herkunft
Ursprünglich bezeichnete Transparent ein Leuchtbild, also ein auf durchscheinendem Material aufgetragenes, von hinten erleuchtetes Bild, später dann beleuchtete Werbetafeln und Ähnliches, schließlich ging der Begriff über auf mit Parolen beschriftete Plakate und Banner bei Demonstrationen.

Rechtliches

Deutschland
In einigen Bundesländern (unter anderem Berlin) werden Transparente, die längs des Aufzuges getragen werden (Seitentransparente), durch den Auflagenbescheid fast immer auf maximal 150 Zentimeter Länge begrenzt. Auch das Verknoten von Transparenten oder das Einziehen von Seilen in diese ist meist untersagt. Dies soll den Polizeikräften einen leichteren Zugang zu der Demonstration ermöglichen, um gegebenenfalls Straftäter aus der Versammlung heraus festzunehmen.

Bat and Clown
Ledger's Joker completes Nolan's second bat-film
by Molly Templeton
THE DARK KNIGHT: Directed by Christopher Nolan. Written by Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan; story by Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer. Music, Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard. Cinematography, Wally Pfister. Starring Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Caine and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Warner Bros. Pictures, 2008. PG-13. 152 min.
Heath Ledger as the Joker in The Dark Knight
In 2005, Batman didn't just begin, as Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins had it. He was reborn, reshaped, stripped down from his previous cinematic incarnation. Nolan re-emphasized the grief and fear that created the character in the mind of his (relatively) ordinary alter ego, Bruce Wayne. Batman saved Bruce, and then he saved Gotham — from the machinations of the League of Shadows, and maybe from itself. But Gotham still needs saving. At the end of Begins, Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman), the most practical and weary of Batman's friends and acquaintances, raised the fear of escalation, wondering what Gotham's criminals would do now that a vigilante crime-fighter had risen in their midst. Smart guy, that Gordon.
The Dark Knight begins with the character to whom it more than half belongs: the Joker (Heath Ledger). In a bank robbery scene, the film gradually, slyly reveals the man under the mask as character and motivator, plot device and momentum. Strip the Joker from the film, and you're left with a passel of cranky mobsters (notably Eric Roberts' Salvatore Maroni) and a complicated love triangle composed of Bruce (Christian Bale, solid as always), his childhood friend Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal, nicely re-placing Katie Holmes) and Gotham's new district attorney, Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart). Dent is Gotham's white knight, its right hand of the law; he's a firm believer in justice and in doing things the right way, but he leaves little to chance where his own life is concerned.
Nor does the Joker leave much to chance, despite his disdain for plans and schemers. It's orchestrated chaos, designed to create fear and havoc, and he's really, really good at it. And Ledger, in his last completed role, is beyond really, really good. Grinning, almost limping, licking his lips until it's unbearable, leering, eyes darting endlessly as if looking for something in every corner, Ledger's Joker is an evil genius draped in the chaos he claims to represent. He has no origin, no name, no home, no ulterior motive. "Nothing in his pockets but knives and lint," says Gordon of the man in the purple suit. The Joker makes a joke of Batman's very existence; he too is an anonymous, unknowable creature applying his own morality to the city. When the clown tells the bat, "You complete me," he's not entirely kidding; one wouldn't exist without the other.
But one lurks high above the city, in Bruce Wayne's penthouse or on the edge of the Sears Tower (Gotham is very recognizably Chicago), while the other stumbles through Gotham's underbelly, making it, and much of the film, his own. As it progresses between chase scenes and explosions, deaths and repercussions, The Dark Knight sets Batman apart, giving him — through the Joker's machinations — choices that are hardly choices at all: Which captive will he save? To what lengths will he go to stop the madman? To what principles will he, when pushed, hold most closely? In a sense, if Batman Begins was the bat's creation, The Dark Knight is his adolescence. He's not yet fully formed, not as sure where his lines are as he may think he is, still relying on his father figures (Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox and Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth) to catch him when he starts to go over the edge.
In the end, Nolan seems to give his audience, like his hero, a terrible choice: truth or hope? But like Harvey Dent's black and white vision — "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain" — it's an oversimplification. Dent's dichotomy and the Joker's influence lead The Dark Knight to its close, but it's a theme from Begins that resonates at the end, as Batman tears off into the night: "Why do we fall, Bruce?" Thomas Wayne asked his son. "So we can learn to pick ourselves up."
The Dark Knight is now playing at Cinemark and VRC Stadium 15.
