REVIEW: "American Gods" S02E02 – The Beguiling Man
I'd say this episode pretty much confirms those rumors about Gaiman being unhappy that season one of American Gods departed a bit from the events of the book as nearly half of this episode is stuff that didn't happen in the book. This isn't a bad thing at all; in fact, I like that the show is continuing to branch out from the source material. There is so much stuff in American Gods that wasn't explored in the novel but can be explored in the TV show, so I am very happy with the show taking the occasional detour from the book. That being said, is this detour worth the time spent on it? Yeah, I'd say so. (Spoilers for episode 2×02!)
Episode 2×02: The Beguiling Man (written by Tyler Dinucci & Andres Fischer-Centeno, directed by Frederick E.O. Toye)
Promising vengeance for the death of a beloved old god, Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane) begins preparation for a great battle. Meanwhile Laura (Emily Browning) and Mad Sweeney (Pablo Schreiber) chase Shadow's (Ricky Whittle) diminishing light after his disappears. The Jinn (Mousa Kraish) and Salim (Omid Abtahi) set out to retrieve the Gungnir spear, and Shadow encounters an associate, Mr. Town (Dean Winters), of Mr. World (Crispin Glover).
Unlike the previous episode, this episode does feel a bit different to season one. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it is noticeable. Season one primarily focused on one character (or group of characters) per episode, not really bouncing back and forth between a bunch of different characters. There were exceptions, of course, but for the most part, one plot line was the main plotline in any given episode. That's not really the case in The Beguiling Man. The majority of the episode is split between Mr. Town torturing Shadow for information on Mr. Wednesday's plan – and the flashbacks to Shadow's youth that accompanies this – and Laura and Mad Sweeney's quest to find and rescue Shadow. Sprinkled in there are bits with Salim and the Jinn, Mr. Wednesday and Mr. Nancy (Orlando Jones) traveling together (also to "save" Shadow, though you don't learn this until the end of the episode), and Tech Boy's search for New Media – who we sort of meet in this episode, but only as disembodied voices. I like it when shows bounce back and forth between various points of view, so I'm on board with this particular change. That being said, this is an episode where a lot seems to happen but also nothing much happens.
The main reason for this is that we spend the bulk of the episode – or, at least, what feels like the bulk of it – experiencing a bunch of flashbacks to Shadow's teenage years with his mother (Olunike Adeliyi). Here, we see teenage Shadow (Gabriel Darku) struggling to cope with life as an immigrant to America; it's unclear whether Shadow was actually born in America or not, but the show seems to suggest he's spent the majority of his life, with his mother, traveling the world. We see these flashbacks during Mr. Town's torturing of Shadow. Here, Mr. Town seems to be filling the same role that Mr. Wood and Mr. Stone filled in the original novel. There, they abduct Shadow right after the House on the Rock meeting, which is precisely what Mr. Town does here. It was hinted at that Mr. Wood was in episode five of season one, as that monstrous tree we saw in the police station, but nothing's been truly confirmed. The interrogation plays out fairly similarly to the novel; Mr. Town is trying to find out what Shadow knows about Mr. Wednesday's plan. He gets very little information from Shadow. And, eventually, Laura rescues him. Unfortunately, this whole plotline feels a bit like a rehash of two early season one plotlines, where Tech Boy brutally interrogates Shadow for information on Mr. Wednesday and, ultimately, ends up lynching him, and later, when Shadow and Wednesday are arrested and interrogated in the police station. Nothing quite as awful happens as Shadow getting lynched happens here, though it's still massively unpleasant seeing Shadow restrained the way he is for the entirety of this episode. I recognize that much of this is lifted from the novel, but given that season one featured two interrogation scenes, I'm not sure we needed this one anymore, at least not to this extent.
The flashbacks are fine; they do a nice job at expanding on Shadow's backstory, even if they do feel a tiny bit cliche at times; though, to be fair, Shadows as a character has always been a bit of a cliche. I appreciate that they were trying to make Shadow's experience as an immigrant align with the Old Gods' experiences as immigrants, too, and it mostly worked, though there were times that it did feel just a bit heavy-handed. There is a nice little scene towards the end of the flashbacks featuring a mysterious man and I'm interested if that ends up being who I think it is. I like the idea of learning more about Shadow, and I like a lot of what we see in these flashbacks, but I do wish that the entirety of the episode hadn't been devoted to them. Probably because it grinds a show with already slow pacing to a complete halt for much of an episode (similar to season one's A Prayer for Mad Sweeney). It might have been better to save such a flashback-heavy episode for episode four, maybe, like last season. But it's not show killing or anything. It's still enjoyable, just a bit slow and momentum-halting for a while, but the end of the episode does set up some nice stuff that should propel us forward in future episodes.
The rest of the episode is spent with Laura and Mad Sweeney frantically trying to track down Shadow. Here, we see Mad Sweeney continue to have a whole lot of bad luck – due to the fact that Laura has his lucky coin inside her – and, while it does feel a bit like a rehash of some season one stuff, it is still pretty enjoyable. It is nice seeing Laura and Sweeney's continued softening to one another, and Sweeney has a great scene where he takes Laura into his own version of the "backstage" – and it's this nightmarish hellscape. I also like that Sweeney is the one who ultimately convinces Laura not to give up on saving Shadow when the trail to him seems to run dry. There's some good stuff here, even if a lot of it feels like stuff we've already seen again. I definitely like the idea of exploring Sweeney's bad luck, and Laura's continued physical deterioration. In both cases (Shadow's interrogation and Laura and Sweeney's plotline), I applaud writers Tyler Dinuccio and Andres Fischer-Centeno for crafting scenes that still feel important and new, even as they also feel reminiscent of older scenes. That's a really hard balance to achieve.
As for Mr. Wednesday, Mr. Nancy, and the rest of the Old and New Gods, they're not really around much in this episode. Mr. World (Crispin Glover) shares a scene with Bilquis (Yetide Badaki) where he continues to try to get her onto the side of the New Gods and she expresses her refusal to fight in the war. And then there's the previously mentioned scene where Tech Boy encounters New Media in a disembodied voice. I'm excited for when we finally get to properly see New Media and I do think this storyline is a good way of explaining why the character will no longer be played by Gillian Anderson. As for Wednesday and Nancy, they appear in the beginning, with Wednesday sending everyone on different quests – Salim and the Jinn are off to find Gungnir, Mad Sweeney and Laura are off to save Shadow, and Wednesday and Nancy are off to do… something. I'm not sure that I love the idea of all of our characters being split up again, only to re-converge at the end of the season, but we'll see how it plays out. It feels a bit like a repeat of the season one formula, but it could definitely work. It all depends on the execution. That's the case with most of this episode, actually. A lot is set up – including a very interesting cliffhanger – but it's hard to tell how much of it works, at this point. Much of it will depend on how further episodes continue these storylines.
All in all, The Beguiling Man is a solid episode of American Gods. It's not quite as good as the premiere was, but it's not a bad episode by any stretch of the imagination. It's very enjoyable and lays a lot of groundwork for the rest of the season, two things which are very important. There continue to be great character moments and great visuals. I wish the overall narrative had been pushed forward a bit more than it was, but we did get a lot of nice character development for Shadow and some good moments for Laura and Mad Sweeney in return for a slower narrative thrust. As a way of reintroducing viewers (and introducing viewers) to some key elements from last year, it works well, but as a way of pushing the story forward more, it doesn't work quite as well (though it doesn't fail by any stretch of the imagination). Overall, I still enjoyed the episode quite a bit. The acting and the visuals were superb and I did like a lot of the stuff that happened. I'm very excited to see where we go next week and I'm happy to be enjoying the season so far!

REVIEW: "Stranger Things: The Other Side" →


Tyson has made one hell of a reputation for himself inside the boxing ring and a rather shaky one for himself outside of it too. He holds the record for the youngest boxer to win the WBC, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles. He is also known for the "face tattoo" trend. Here is something more you need to know about his tattoos.
The boxer went under the needle in the year 2003 by Victor Whitmill. The tribal tattoo is inked on the left side of Tyson's face almost covering half the facial parts. This unique design stirred some commotions like lawsuit and trials when the Hangout movie doctor character Stu Price depicted a temporary tribal tattoo with the same design as Tyson's tattoo on his face.
Mike has the face of the Chinese leader, Mao on his right arm.
Tyson has the face of the Marxist Revolutionary, Che Guevara on his ribs.
Mike has dedicated his left arm to his ex-wife. The tattoo has the face image of his Monica Turner. Now that's quite a way to express oneself.
He has a Dre Drocher tattoo on his right forearm.
Tyson wants to carry on his body, the memories of his spiritual heroes that's why, after the two communist leaders, he got the portrait of the less known Arthur Ashe. Ashe was a popular tennis champion also well known for his efforts to important social causes and the founder of Arthur Ashe Foundation for the Defeat of AIDS. His portrait and the words "days of grace" are tattooed on Tyson's left shoulder.

Organizational Tips
How to Log into Websites When Other Accounts are Logged in Without Logging Out
Wendy Howell
While you may wonder why you would want to log into the same website at the same time with different credentials, there are several reasons this could be helpful. For instance, you might want to log into more than one Gmail account without the hassle of logging out of another account that is already logged in. Logging in and out can be a hassle, but luckily it is not necessary.
This post demonstrates how to log into the same website with different credentials, even using the same web browser application, without logging out of the account.
There are two main ways you can log into the same website with different credentialed accounts. One way is by using a different web browser to log into a secondary account. The second way is to log into the same type of account using a private window, which does not require a different web browser app OR logging out of the account.
Opening a new web browser application
You might think you could simply open an additional web browser window, not a tab, and log into the same website that is already logged in using different credentials. However, if you have ever tried this, you know it does not work. As soon you try this while in the same browser app, the credentials you used to log into the original account will almost always carry between the browser even though they are separate windows.
This happens because you are using the same browser application, and the credentials are already known to the browser. This can be helpful when you want to open a new window with less tabs, or keep your place on a website but still browse, without having to log into an account where you already logged in.
However, if you want to log into the exact same type of account with different credentials, like two Gmail accounts, one way you can do this is to open a different web browser. For example, if you are using Safari, open Chrome for the second account. Alternatively, if you are using Edge, you could open Firefox for the second account.
Use the same browser in private/incognito mode
The second way you can log into the same website using different credentials in a web browser is to open a new window in the existing web browser using private or incognito mode. For ease of understanding, from here forward I will refer to these windows as private mode though the name of them differs between web browsers. Knowing how to open web browser windows in private mode is also helpful when you want to see a website from a visitor perspective or when you are using a computer that does not belong to you.
The purpose of private mode is to have the ability to open an additional web browser window without any of the information from other browser windows from that same browser app. In more simpler terms, this means if you log into Twitter in the Edge browser, and then open a private window in Edge, your account credentials used to log into Twitter will not carry over to the private window. This allows you to log into Twitter again, but using different credentials.
Depending upon the browser you are using, the name of the private type of window varies. The following list shows what each browser labels a private window:
Chrome - Incognito window
Edge - InPrivate window
Firefox - Private window
Safari - private window
To open a private window in any of the browsers listed above:
In an existing browser window, click on the Settings button in the upper right corner. Depending on the browser, this may be a 3-dot kabob, 3-dot ellipsis, the hamburger menu, or in the case of Safari, click on the File menu. In the drop-down menu, select the option from the list above that relates to your browser to open a window in private mode.
Click to access the web browser settings then select the private window mode.
You will notice the background of the private window is different than the normal web browser window. This is by design, so users are aware that it is different.
The background of a private window is different than that of a standard window.
Not only is using a private window helpful for logging into the same website with different credentials, but you can also use a private window to see a website the way a visitor would. Lastly, using a private window is great for when you are using a computer that does not belong to you, or is used by others.
As always, knowing how to do the same thing, but more securely, is worth the effort!
Why Older Emails are Missing in Outlook and How to Get Them Back
If you use Outlook for email account(s), you may eventually notice missing emails that you did not delete, move, or archive. This is a common complaint with newer versions and especially subscription versions (O365/Microsoft 365) of Office. Luckily, there is an easy way to regain access to these

An upscale lodge in Wales, snow, mistletoe, and a few friends willing to do what it takes to make two best friends face their feelings for each other. A Christmas Kiss is a lovely friends-to-lovers Christmas story. I was definitely left with a smile.
Riley and Alex, both 23, have been best friends since they were 15 and have pretty much been inseparable since then. They're almost always touching and can practically finish each other's sentences. Riley has felt more than just friendship towards Alex for a couple years, now, but doesn't think Alex could possibly feel the same way. But, at a birthday bash weekend for a mutual friend, alcohol fuels a bit of courage for Riley to finally tell, or show, Alex how he feels. And it was glorious…until the next morning when Alex doesn't remember a thing.
My heart went out to Riley. He could use a bit more self-confidence, for sure. Everyone, except Alex could see how he felt, but he was afraid to rock the boat and possibly ruin a friendship. Riley, Riley, Riley. If you don't take the chance, there is only one guaranteed outcome. Besides, do you really think Alex won't want to be your friend anymore, even if he doesn't feel the same way? Even his brother thought told him that. Wise brother, that.
And Alex could be a bit oblivious, that's for sure. And maybe he holds a secret or two of his own. What he does know is that Riley is acting odd and avoiding him and since Riley is the other half of his soul (even if he doesn't quite realize it), Alex is feeling lost.
A Christmas Kiss is short and we don't get a lot of back story. But we do know that it has taken our boys way too long to see what has been right in front of them all along. I really wanted Riley to take a chance (and so did everyone else), but he was scared. And I wanted Alex to open his eyes. But when they do finally figure things out, I let out a big sigh and went "awwww". They're so sweet and that does my old cynical heart good to see.
I'd recommend A Christmas Kiss for that warm fluffy feeling, like snuggling up with someone you love on a cold winters night.

Festival in May, has won acclaim for its performances from a cast including Michael Caine , Harvey Keitel, Paul Dano, Rachel Weisz and Jane Fonda. Fonda shows up for maybe 8 and 1/2 minutes tops but steals the movie in a riveting performance. Caine, who has won two Academy Awards for Supporting Actor, could find himself in contention for Lead Actor again for his reflective and moving turn as a retired musical conductor and composer. This film represents the Italian-born Sorrentino's first film since winning the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar two years ago for The Great Beauty.

Az Esztergomi járás Komárom-Esztergom vármegye legnagyobb területű és legnépesebb járása, székhelye Esztergom. Területe 537,26 km², népessége 92 902 fő, népsűrűsége pedig 173 fő/km² volt 2013 elején, létrejöttekor. Huszonnégy település tartozik hozzá, közülük öt város (Esztergom, Dorog, Lábatlan, Nyergesújfalu és Tát), egy nagyközség (Tokod) és 18 község, melyek az Esztergomi és a Dorogi kistérséghez tartoztak.

Az Esztergomi járás az 1950-es járásrendezésig is létezett. Ekkor székhelyét Dorogra helyezték, nevét pedig Dorogi járásra változtatták.

Települései

Története

Települései 1869-ben

A most önálló Annavölgy Sárisáp része, Tokodaltáró Tokod része volt ekkor. Lábatlan és Piszke Komárom vármegye Tatai járásához tartozott, és az 1876. évi XXXIII. törvénycikk értelmében került Esztergom vármegye Esztergomi járásába. Piszkét 1950-ben Lábatlanhoz csatolták.

Esztergomi járás helyett Dorogi járás
Az Esztergomi járás székhelyét az 1950-es járásrendezés során Dorogra helyezték, így ez a (lényegében azonos) terület a tanácsrendszer alatt Dorogi járás névet viselt egészen 1983-ig.  Az 1950-es járásrendezés rendelkezéseinek nagy részét tartalmazzó 144/1950. (V.20.) M.T. számú minisztertanácsi rendelet így fogalmazott: "1. §. (2) Át kell helyezni [...] 2. az esztergomi járás székhelyét Esztergomból Dorogra (Komárom megye) [...]". A rendeletnek az új járási beosztást részletesen tartalmazó I. számú mellékletében pedig ez a kitétel található: "Dorogi (az eddigi esztergomi) járás". Így területi és szervezeti értelemben egyaránt utóda a Dorogi járás az Esztergominak.

Dorogi járás területe először azonos volt az Esztergomiéval, azután hamarosan besorolták ide magát Esztergomot, de ez az állapot csak 1954-ig tartott. A következő 20 évben megint azonos volt a területe a korábbival, végül 1974 végétől 1983 végéig, kilenc évig hozzá tartozott Gyermely és Szomor a megszűnő Tatai járásból.

Lack of satellite orders triggers layoffs at Space Systems Loral
by Jeff Foust — June 22, 2017
A lack of orders for commercial communications satellites has led Space Systems Loral to lay off employees at its satellite manufacturing plant. Credit: SSL
Updated 1:45 p.m. Eastern June 23.
WASHINGTON — Citing a long-term drought in satellite orders, Space Systems Loral has laid off a number of employees at its California satellite manufacturing facility, the company confirmed June 22.
In a statement to SpaceNews, SSL President John Celli said an "extended slowdown" in orders for geostationary orbit communications satellites led the company to this round of layoffs.
"We have seen an extended slowdown in orders for GEO satellites across the industry," he said. "With fewer satellites coming into the factory we have to make reductions to remain competitive."
Company spokesperson Wendy Lewis said SSL was not disclosing the number of people laid off. A source familiar with the layoffs said about eight percent of the company's workforce was affected, which would be on the order of 200 employees.
"We continue to have a team of more than 2,000 in Palo Alto, and have carefully planned in order to meet all our customer commitments and to be prepared for new contract awards," Celli said in his statement.
SSL has not announced an order for a commercial geostationary communications satellite since July 2016, when it said it would build two satellites for SiriusXM to replace existing spacecraft providing satellite radio services for North America.
In a statement to SpaceNews June 23, Howard Lance, chief executive of SSL's parent company, MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates (MDA), noted lack of demand across the industry for GEO satellites. "The GEO satellite business continues to be soft as operators review various technical alternatives to serve the future needs of their customers," he said. "As we previously reported, we expect to see orders improve in the second half of 2017."
Other satellite manufacturers have also reported weak demand for commercial GEO satellites. "Last year, there were 14 new geosynchronous satellites purchased," Dave Thompson, president and chief executive of Orbital ATK, said in a May 11 earnings call about the company's quarterly financial results. "And at this point, my crystal ball for 2017 is somewhere in the 12 to 14 satellites, so not better than last year." He added he hoped for a rebound in orders in 2018 or 2019.
Boeing offered a similar assessment in March, forecasting between 13 and 17 commercial GEO satellite orders in 2017. "We hoped it would have picked up by now, but we are not seeing it," Dawn Harms, Boeing Satellite Systems International vice president for global sales and marketing, said at a media briefing during the Satellite 2017 conference.
SSL, which in the past has relied almost exclusively on commercial GEO satellite business, has diversified in the last year, seeking more government business. The company won awards from NASA and DARPA for two separate satellite servicing programs, Restore-L and Robotic Servicing of Geosynchronous Satellites (RSGS), respectively. SSL is also the prime contractor for NASA's Psyche asteroid mission, selected as part of the agency's latest Discovery program competition in January.
Lance cited that diversification effort, including plans to develop commercial imaging satellites for DigitalGlobe, which MDA is acquiring. "Our U.S. Access Plan is allowing us to now bid and successfully win U.S. Government satellites and related spacecraft programs," he said. "And, we expect to build the next-generation advanced earth observation satellites for DigitalGlobe."
Even some of this government business is in jeopardy, however. As part of NASA's fiscal year 2018 budget proposal, the agency announced it would restructure the Restore-L program. Restore-L, which received $130 million in the final 2017 appropriations bill, would receive no funding in 2018, with that work transitioned to a satellite servicing technology development program funded at $45 million in the request.
June 23 statement from MDA CEO Howard Lance:
"The GEO satellite business continues to be soft as operators review various technical alternatives to serve the future needs of their customers. As we previously reported, we expect to see orders improve in the second half of 2017. We have taken multiple actions to diversify the SSL business into other markets, including becoming a leading small sat provider for both earth observation and communications constellations. Our U.S. Access Plan is allowing us to now bid and successfully win U.S. Government satellites and related spacecraft programs. And, we expect to build the next-generation advanced earth observation satellites for DigitalGlobe. SSL is very well positioned to maintain its strong leadership position in the global satellite markets going forward."

Matt Richardson says: "These are actual outtakes from the voice actors of LA Noire, rendered out.
These hilarious screw-ups were generated as a natural side effect of the MotionScan animation process used to create the game.
Unlike other motion-capture systems that use shiny, reflective dots to track key points as an actor moves, MotionScan generates 3D models, texture maps, and meshes directly from a stereo camera recording of an unadorned actor's performance. The result is an instant virtual copy of that performance that captures mis-timed laughs, a tongue sticking out, and errant sneezes, with only minimal touch-up needed from an animator.

A person's time at University is said to be the best years of their lives. For so many students this is true and attending higher education establishments is an enjoyable and life-changing time.
For others, however, complaints can be made against them to the University which result in formal investigations being undertaken and, in many cases, disciplinary proceedings follow. There is a common misconception that as the investigations are internal, and do not involve the police, that legal representation is not necessary. A person can respond to the investigation, and represent themselves at any subsequent hearing, with support from a member of staff, or the NUS. So why involve solicitors?
These proceedings are daunting, and many involve criminal accusations that can result in police involvement further down the line. They can also be life changing, with the University retaining the power to expel any student found to be guilty of serious misconduct. Disciplinary hearings involve evidence from live witnesses, who can be cross examined by the opposing party, and points of law that may be misunderstood, or missed, by the lay person.
At the outset of any such disciplinary proceedings, the subject of the complaint will be notified, in writing, of the nature of the allegations made against them and the procedure that is to follow. An impartial investigator will be allocated to the case and he or she should arrange a meeting with the individual in order for them to provide their account, should they wish to do so. They will also be advised of their right to have someone present in support, whether it be someone from the University, a friend or legal representative, or someone from their Union.
A person retains the right to refuse to engage in this stage of the investigation, but this is often to their detriment.
Complaints can range from the trivial to the criminal. An alleged breach of the University's Code of Conduct may not amount to, if proven, a criminal offence. Many cases, however, do and it is therefore imperative to get legal advice from the outset to ensure that any accounts provided can be properly assessed.
In any event, the subject of any such proceedings is entitled to submit evidence in support of their version of events. This can include written evidence, such as e mails, or text messages, statements from witnesses who can corroborate their version of events, photographs, or social media posts. Even where a criminal offence has not been alleged, the fact that a person could lose their place at University, which would impact upon the work undertaken thus far, their education, and their career aspirations, makes it crucial for this stage to be conducted thoroughly. If sufficient evidence to disprove the allegation is submitted at this stage, often the matter will proceed no further.
Student Discipline Officer (SDO) Decision
At the conclusion of the investigation, all evidence obtained is submitted to the SDO for a decision to be made. They have the following options available to them:
a) To impose a minor sanction or measure where the Student Discipline Officer is satisfied that a breach of the Rules of Behaviour has occurred and that a minor sanction or measure is appropriate;
b) To refer the case to the Discipline Committee where the Student Discipline Officer considers that a breach of the Rules of Behaviour may have taken place and that a minor sanction or measure may not be an appropriate action;
c) Where neither a) nor b) is appropriate: (i) to take no further action; (ii) to refer the matter for decision under another University procedure.
Discipline Committee
The more serious allegations, and certainly those which contain an allegation of criminal behaviour, do tend to go to the Discipline Committee if there appears to be sufficient evidence to justify taking the matter further.
Prior to any hearing the student involved should receive copies of the evidence against them, including the initial statement of complaint, and they are given the chance to make written representations in support of their version of events.
The prospect of appearing before a Disciplinary Committee is a daunting one. It is conducted much like a court hearing, with live evidence being heard, and with the evidence of witnesses being tested by way of cross examination. Submissions can be made by either party at the conclusion of the evidence prior to any decision being made.
The majority of Discipline Committees apply the civil burden of proof to proceedings. This is a lesser standard than that used in criminal proceedings, and works on the basis of probabilities. Is it more likely than not that the conduct alleged happened? It is therefore crucial that all possible evidence in support of a students defence is properly presented, and that all evidence against them is properly tested.
If the case is decided against the student, they should still be afforded the opportunity to submit oral mitigation prior to any disposal being considered.
The University can impose a number of sanctions when a breach has been proven. They can also consider referring the student to the Fitness to Practice or Fitness to Study procedures where appropriate.
Whilst sanctions vary between establishments the following is a non-exhaustive list of possible disposals.
a) No further action
b) A written warning to be placed on the student's record for the maximum duration of their studies or a shorter period as the University may decide
c) A behavioural contract or undertakings from the student relating to their behaviour
d) A fine or suspended fine
f) Compulsory attendance at an appropriate workshop
g) Restitution of damage
h) Restorative justice, including voluntary work for the University or community
i) A requirement to submit a written apology
j) Temporary or permanent exclusion from the use of specific University facilities or services or from the University itself
Sanctions must be proportionate and the University should normally impose the least serious appropriate penalty.

There seems to be nothing but unpleasantness in the media in recent history. Here's the story of a young woman whose life has taken unexpected turn for the good.
I had dinner with my friend, Kelly, last week. Kelly is a high-level executive at a cable company. She has a stay-at-home husband and a teenage daughter and son. Both children have been in the International Baccalaureate program. Kelly's daughter graduated from high school last summer and is taking a gap year. The daughter convinced Kelly and her husband to allow a gap year because she excelled at her studies for the last 12 years and is facing four years of undergraduate and two additional years for an MBA. The daughter simply wanted a break from studying. Kelly's daughter moved to New York and is living with Kelly's sister on the Upper East Side. Before moving to Colorado, Kelly spent the early years of her career in New York so she knew it could be a life changing experience. That turned out to be true.
Kelly's daughter found work as a hostess at a top-tier restaurant where a lot of business people have lunch. At work one day, she was approached by scout from a modeling agency. Kelly's daughter never had an interest in fashion or modeling. To make a long story short, after meetings with the agency head and Kelly and her husband, the daughter was signed. In the next two week she did five photo shoots, was taught runway and landed two jobs. A week after being signed, she was approached by a scout from a competing agency as she was leaving the gym. After telling the man she was already signed, he said he wanted to keep in touch in case things didn't work out with her agency.
Kelly's daughter has been booking jobs and making good money. The agency wants to send her to Milan to see how she does in the European market. Kelly is rather stunned by how fast this happened. The daughter plans to give modeling a year before making the decision to keep modeling or go to Yale. If she chooses Yale, she be in closed proximity to New York so she could still do the occasional modeling gig.
Kelly and her daughter realize that her chance of making it to modeling superstardom are slim. The daughter is a fresh face on the scene so there's a lot of buzz and excitement. The plan is to milk the modeling cash cow and see what happens as there's always another new face on the horizon.
A chance meeting has changed this young woman's life. And that's a good thing.
COOL! yale would be boring.

GameStop Reveals the 10 Most Pre-Ordered Games Shown at E3
Brandon Doerrer
June 20, 2019 1:47 PM EST
NewsStadiaXbox OnePS4SwitchPC
These are the 10 most anticipated games shown at E3 according to GameStop pre-orders.
If you're wondering which games from E3 have the most anticipation surrounding them, GameStop has done the work for you by compiling a list of the 10 most pre-ordered titles that were revealed or confirmed last week:
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (10-25-19)
Pokémon Sword and Shield (11-15-19)
Final Fantasy VII Remake (3-3-20)
Cyberpunk 2077 (4-16-20)
Borderlands 3 (9-13-19)
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Switch) (9-20-19)
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (11-15-19)
Gears 5 (9-6-19)
Super Mario Maker 2 (6-28-19)
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled (6-21-19)
The parenthetical dates are expected release dates for each respective game. Unfortunately, there's no way to know how big of a lead each game has over its runner-up since we don't have the actual pre-order numbers. Given that these are pre-orders made through GameStop, this list probably isn't the most accurate way of determining the biggest game coming out of E3.
As reported by Bloomberg, GameStop recently saw its stock price fall as low as $4.71 in New York trading–the lowest its been since February 2003. The dying retailer has lost roughly 95% of its market value since its peak at $10 billion in 2007 and now finds itself at less than $500 million.
Most people aren't going to GameStop to buy their games anymore. If we were to include pre-orders from other digital markets, there's a good chance a list showing the actual top 10 most anticipated games from E3 would look different (even if it's the same games in a different order). Of course, pre-order numbers aren't necessarily a perfect indicator of the anticipation surrounding a game.
Still, with games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Cyberpunk 2077, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order making appearances, there can be no doubting that these games are greatly anticipated. The trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare whipped up over 20 million views in three days and has 29 million views at the time of this writing. Limiting pre-orders to GameStop or not, it wouldn't come as much of a surprise if Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is the most anticipated game coming out of E3.

Fuentepiña  es como se denomina a la casa de campo situada a escasos dos kilómetros de la localidad de Moguer, (Huelva, España), en el paraje del mismo nombre y en la "Finca Santa Cruz de Vista Alegre".

La importancia de esta finca es capital en las obras del poeta Juan Ramón Jiménez, que la evoca en obras suyas como "Platero y yo". Tal vez por eso o por la belleza del lugar es por lo que Juan Ramón decidió enterrar a su amado Platero junto a la casa bajo el pino centenario.

La finca "Santa Cruz de Vista Alegre" tiene 14,45 ha y está constituida por una amplia extensión de pinares, construcciones de almacén y la casa de descanso del poeta, desde la que hay una espectacular vista del núcleo urbano moguereño.

En el año 2015 fue declarada Bien de Interés Cultural de los Bien de Interés Cultural de los Lugares Juanramonianos, con la tipología de Sitio Histórico, junto al entorno de la casa y el Paraje de Fuentepiña. Actualmente es una propiedad privada, pertenece a la ilustre familia Hernández-Pinzón.
El Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Andalucía, mediante sentencia de 16 de marzo de 2017, anuló la referida declaración como Bien de Interés Cultural, anulación que ha sido confirmada por el Tribunal Supremo en sentencia de 26 de febrero de 2019.

Textbook prices have risen up to 6 times the rate of inflation. . . . And according to a 2016 study conducted with . . . 40 public colleges in Florida, the high cost of textbooks caused 66.5% of students not to take a certain course, 47.6% to take fewer courses, 37.6% to earn a poor grade, 26.1% to drop a course, and 19.8% to fail a course.
Ÿ• Shopping Around: A booklist for each class is usually available on-line. Get it, and then compare prices for electronic and physical books — new, used, rental — at various retailers. College bookstores often charge more than you'll pay elsewhere.
Ÿ• Going to the Library: Campus and local libraries often have textbooks you can check out. If not, contact your instructor and ask to have books required for you class placed in the campus library.
Ÿ• Using E-Books: Textbooks may be available electronically — sometimes, but not always, for less than physical books — from online retailers like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Textbooks.com, etc. You can download them onto Kindles, laptops, mobile phones, or tablets and can do searches, highlight and copy text, insert bookmarks, and make your own notes in them. But remember – rented e-books eventually go away, so buy it if you need to keep it.
Ÿ• Accessing Open Textbooks: These are digitally accessible texts written by experts, then edited by instructors if needed. Open textbooks are particularly useful for fields of study that require few updates (e.g. mathematics). Ask at your school's library or maybe check out OpenStax College, a nonprofit based at Rice University, which publishes open textbooks that are free online and low cost in print.
Ÿ• Getting Used Texts: You can buy or rent used physical books for less than new books. But check their condition. Watch out for broken spines, missing pages, and pages falling out, or books with too much that's been marked up by others.
Ÿ• Book-Sharing: Split textbook costs with classmates, and then share. But set clear sharing-schedules, and make sure classmates can be trusted to abide by them so you'll get the books when planned.
Ÿ• Book-Trading: Another cost-cutter trading books that are no longer needed for books need in a new term's classes. Just double check to be sure you have the edition required by your instructor.
These strategies can help cut your expenses, which can help you borrow less for postsecondary education.

Q: The relationship in a company I want to check whether I understood these phrases:

*

*be responsible for

*in charge of

*to report to

Take some kind of organisation for instance, where Linda is a President, Adam is a Financial Director and Bob is a Data Processing Manager. In that case, Linda is responsible for (or in charge of) all organisation. Adam in charge of Finance and reports to Linda.
Am I right?

A: The phrases you have listed are unique but the first two are interchangeable to some extent.

Linda is the president of our firm. She is responsible for the vision-based management of the firm. She also is in charge of all our board meetings.

Yes, in some scenarios the two are not interchangeable and I'll do my best to clarify that.

*

*Be responsible for: To be held accountable for, meaning that you are more concerned with the results and their consequences/effects.

*In charge of: To be at a commanding position working towards a goal where your achievement of the goal is linked to your ability to take control and steer yourself in that direction.

*To report to: To work under, to be held accountable by someone. This just means that you will have to be supervised or directly be under the chain of command that someone else heads.
Your understanding of the different phrases therefore is spot on.

Senate Hearing Held on Paid Family Leave. On Wednesday, the Subcommittee on Social Security, Pensions, and Family Policy of the Senate Committee on Finance held a hearing to examine the importance of paid family leave. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is expected to introduce a paid leave proposal next week that Ivanka Trump and Senators Joni Ernst (R-IA) and Mike Lee (R-UT) have collaborated on. While the exact details of the bill have yet to be released, it is expected that workers would be able to receive Social Security benefits for a set period of time after the birth of a child. Workers that choose to utilize this benefit would then have to wait that same amount of time to start drawing on their Social Security benefits after becoming eligible. For example, a worker who takes 6 weeks of paid leave would then have to wait 6 weeks after turning age 62 to begin collecting Social Security benefits. Late last year, Rep. Mimi Walters (R-CA) also introduced a paid leave bill in the House. Rep. Walters' bill provides employers who offer paid leave and flexible work arrangements with an ERISA-like preemption of state and local laws as an incentive.
D.C. Council Move to Overturn Ballot Measure Eliminating Tipped Wage Credit. On Tuesday, a majority of the D.C. City Council moved to repeal Initiative 77, a ballot measure which would eliminate the city's tipped wage credit for restaurant workers. Approved by voters just last month, Initiative 77 scraps the city's tipped wage credit and will require employers to pay tipped workers the standard minimum wage of $15 / hour by 2025. Several Congressional Republicans are joining D.C. Council members in opposition to the ballot initiative by proposing amendments that would block the city from spending money to implement the measure. (Because of D.C.'s status as a federal district, Congress has the power to overturn local laws and spending decisions.) The Council is planning to hold a hearing on the repeal of Initiative 77 when lawmakers return from summer recess.
State officials in Michigan and New York are also considering ending their tipped-wage system this year, as is already law in seven states—California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Nevada, Montana and Minnesota. Voters in Maine approved a ballot measure to eliminate the tipped wage in 2016, but the state legislature voided the results.
ICYMI: EEOC Releases ADEA at 50 Report. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) last month, Acting Chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Victoria A. Lipnic, issued a report entitled "The State of Age Discrimination and Older Workers in the U.S. 50 Years After the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)." According to the report, today's labor force has doubled in size, and is older, more diverse, and more educated. However, the report concluded that "age discrimination persists based on outdated and unfounded assumptions about older workers, aging and discrimination." Solutions to avoid age discrimination in the workplace were offered, such as changing recruitment strategies and including age in diversity and inclusion programs.
With an eye towards the midterm elections, the most vulnerable Senate Democrats up for re-election in conservative-leaning states are already facing enormous pressure from both sides as to which way they should vote on Judge Kavanaugh. None have given any indication of which way they are leaning yet, but Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has said he will "fight this nomination with everything [he's] got." Several outlets have noted that Schumer's main tactic will likely be to try to delay the vote beyond election day to spare vulnerable Democrats from a lose-lose vote during campaign season.
The GOP primary runoff for the 2nd District of Alabama will take place next Tuesday between Rep. Martha Roby and challenger Bobby Bright, an ex-Democrat and former member of the House. Roby, who made headlines when she announced that she would not vote for then candidate Trump in the 2016 election, has since mended fences with the President and received his full endorsement several weeks ago. The boost Roby received from Trump's endorsement continues a trend of Republican primary candidates vying for the President's backing and seeing an immediate return when it's received.

Les Tontons flingueurs est une comédie policière franco-germano-italienne réalisée par Georges Lautner, sortie en 1963.

Le film est une adaptation du roman Grisbi or not grisbi d'Albert Simonin, troisième volet d'une trilogie consacrée au truand Max le Menteur, précédé par Touchez pas au grisbi ! suivi par Le cave se rebiffe, tous deux également adaptés à l'écran. Toutefois, les trois adaptations cinématographiques sont indépendantes et ne présentent pas le caractère de continuité des romans.

D'après un scénario d'Albert Simonin et des dialogues de Michel Audiard, le film met en scène les acteurs Lino Ventura (Fernand Naudin), Bernard Blier (Raoul Volfoni), Jean Lefebvre (Paul Volfoni) et Francis Blanche (Maître Folace) dans les rôles principaux.

Au fil des décennies ayant suivi sa sortie en salles, Les Tontons flingueurs est devenu un film culte, notamment par ses dialogues et ses répliques fameuses qui sont entrés dans la culture populaire française, grâce à ses nombreuses diffusions télévisuelles. Il s'agit de la réalisation la plus célèbre de Georges Lautner.

Synopsis
Dans ce film, le personnage récurrent de la trilogie d'Albert Simonin, « Max le Menteur » devient Fernand Naudin, un ex-truand reconverti depuis près de quinze ans à Montauban dans le négoce de matériel agricole et de terrassement. Le film s'ouvre sur son départ en pleine nuit pour Paris et donne tout de suite le ton : il s'agit d'une parodie des films noirs américains, l'humour sculptant l'ensemble des dialogues.

Si Fernand part ce soir-là pour Paris, c'est qu'il a reçu un télégramme de Louis, dit « le Mexicain », le vieil ami de ses années de voyou, qu'il n'a pas revu depuis quinze ans.

Persuadé d'en avoir pour deux jours, tout au plus, Fernand va de surprise en surprise dès son arrivée à Paris. Son vieil ami Louis est en effet à l'article de la mort. Ce dernier lui confie la garde de sa fille Patricia, ainsi que la tête de ses « affaires qui tournent toutes seules ». Les affaires en question sont un bowling géré par « Henri », une roulette clandestine gérée par le truand surnommé « Tomate », une salle de jeu clandestine gérée par les frères Paul et Raoul Volfoni, une distillerie clandestine dirigée par l'Allemand Theo, et une maison close dirigée par . Fernand Naudin, mis devant le fait accompli, décide d'accepter les dernières volontés de Louis. Or, sa décision mécontente fortement les différents « gérants » des affaires du Mexicain, qui s'attendaient à obtenir leur indépendance après la mort de leur patron.

Fernand découvre ensuite que la fille du Mexicain, Patricia, non seulement ne sait rien de la vie réelle qu'a eue son père, mais qu'elle est une élève turbulente, renvoyée de toutes les écoles qu'elle fréquente au bout de six mois. Elle a aussi un petit ami, Antoine, un jeune homme aux airs précieux qui se prend pour un compositeur, et que Fernand prend rapidement en grippe.

Fernand est aussi mis au courant par , le notaire qui gère les finances du Mexicain, que les « gérants » n'ont pas payé leur « redevance » depuis un mois, le Mexicain n'en ayant pas été informé du fait de son caractère prompt à sortir la « sulfateuse ».

Débute alors, pour Fernand Naudin, une impitoyable « guerre de succession » des affaires du Mexicain, avec les frères Volfoni comme principaux adversaires. Assisté du notaire , du majordome de la maison  (lui-même un ancien cambrioleur) et de Pascal, redoutable « première gâchette » du Mexicain qui se met à son service, Fernand se retrouve contraint de reprendre tout en main, ce à quoi il va se consacrer, dans un style percutant et tout personnel.

Lors de cette « guerre des truands », une scène fameuse montre les principaux protagonistes, attablés autour d'un verre dans la cuisine de la résidence du Mexicain, en train de déguster un breuvage clandestin et échanger à cette occasion des remarques caustiques à son sujet. Par ailleurs, une autre des scènes du film montre les gangsters en pleine fusillade, échangeant des coups de feu avec des pistolets munis de silencieux, produisant ainsi une sorte de symphonie improvisée de « bruits de bouchon », un autre des moments forts du film.

Production

Scénario
Michel Audiard trouvait la scène de la cuisine inutile et elle a bien failli ne jamais exister. C'est Georges Lautner qui l'a rétablie en hommage à Key Largo, film noir dans lequel on voit des gangsters accoudés à un bar évoquer avec nostalgie le bon temps de la prohibition.

Michel Audiard aurait préféré comme titre Le Terminus des prétentieux, expression que l'on retrouve dans une réplique de Raoul Volfoni : « Il entendra chanter les anges, le gugusse de Montauban. Je vais le renvoyer tout droit à la maison mère, au terminus des prétentieux ! ». Mais ses partenaires le jugèrent trop pompeux. Le titre Le Terminus des prétentieux apparaîtra en manière de clin d'œil sur un fronton de cinéma dans un film ultérieur de Lautner, Flic ou Voyou.

La fameuse réplique  (exemple d'effet Dunning-Kruger) se retrouve dans l'œuvre de saint Thomas d'Aquin :  (tous les idiots, et ceux qui ne réfléchissent pas, tentent tout). Audiard, qui avait lu sa Somme théologique, aurait repris et arrangé cette phrase.

Outre le sel des répliques d'Audiard, l'un des ressorts comiques du film provient des astuces utilisées pour dissimuler la véritable situation à Patricia et à son ami Antoine (Claude Rich), auteur de musique concrète, ainsi qu'au père de ce dernier, vice-président du FMI. Combiner, au cinéma, le comique truculent de la langue verte (l'argot) et l'ambiance d'un roman noir, comme l'était celui d'Albert Simonin, relève de l'impossible. Ainsi, pour faire de Grisbi or not Grisbi cette fameuse comédie hilarante, de grandes libertés ont dû être prises avec l'œuvre originale (notamment par Simonin lui-même, puisqu'il a travaillé à l'adaptation cinématographique). Si la trame principale de ce troisième volet des aventures de Max le Menteur est conservée — la succession du Mexicain, la lutte avec les Volfoni — les personnages de  ou de la jeune Patricia et de son fiancé Antoine n'appartiennent qu'au film. Dans le même ordre d'idées, l'affrontement entre Max (Fernand Naudin) et les Volfoni, sanglant dans le roman de Simonin, est traité sous l'angle comique dans le film de Lautner. Mais l'esprit du style rédactionnel, c'est-à-dire un livre entièrement écrit en argot, se retrouve dans les dialogues concoctés par Michel Audiard. Parmi les adaptations de la trilogie simonienne, Touchez pas au grisbi conserve le ton du film noir, tandis que Le cave se rebiffe a été réalisé dans le même esprit que Les Tontons flingueurs.

Auditions
 La Gaumont ne croyait pas au succès du film, qui n'était défendu que par Alain Poiré, et, pour limiter les risques financiers, s'associa avec d'autres maisons de production. Ceci explique la présence, dans la distribution, d'acteurs allemands (Sabine Sinjen, Horst Frank) et italien (Venantino Venantini).
 Jean Gabin fut, un temps, pressenti pour tenir le rôle de Fernand Naudin. L'acteur posa, cependant, de telles exigences (il souhaitait imposer son équipe de techniciens) qu'il ne fut pas retenu, au grand soulagement de Michel Audiard avec qui il était momentanément fâché depuis Mélodie en sous-sol, sorti quelques mois auparavant.
 Le choix se porta un temps sur Paul Meurisse, mais celui-ci déclina le rôle pour raisons de santé. Il apparaît toutefois quelques secondes dans la scène finale, auto-citation de la série des films Le Monocle.
 À l'origine, Lino Ventura ne se voyait pas tenir ce rôle du fait de l'aspect comique des personnages, convaincu qu'il ne serait pas crédible dans ce genre de composition.

Tournage

Patricia, ayant fugué de chez son oncle, se rend en taxi au domicile de son ami Antoine, villa Seurat ; on y voit la maison du sculpteur Robert Couturier.

Les dernières scènes du film (mariage-explosion) furent tournées devant et dans l'église Saint-Germain de Charonne — dans la scène des tontons agenouillés, on distingue, au fond, la partie gauche du tableau de Joseph-Benoît Suvée : La Rencontre de saint Germain et sainte Geneviève — et autour de l'église, place Saint-Blaise, dans le  arrondissement de Paris.

Le bowling de la Matène à Fontenay-sous-Bois (Val-de-Marne), a également servi de décor aux films Monsieur Hire et Jean-Philippe.

C'est dans une maison aujourd'hui disparue, louée par la Gaumont à Rueil-Malmaison, qu'eut lieu, le  le tournage de la célèbre « scène de la beuverie » dans la cuisine, qui se prolongea jusque très tard dans la nuit.

Le décor de la clinique Dugoineau est utilisé lorsque les frères Volfoni en sortent et que Théo les attend avec une mitraillette. L'entrée du bâtiment a été filmée au 11, avenue du Château-de-Malmaison à Rueil-Malmaison. Cet endroit accueille aujourd'hui des services municipaux.

De nombreuses scènes furent tournées dans le parc et à l'intérieur du château de Vigny (Val-d'Oise).

Lors de la scène de la distillerie, vers la fin du film, Lino Ventura tourne une scène de bagarre avec l'acteur et cascadeur Henri Cogan et frappe réellement ce dernier. , dira Cogan, car les deux hommes se connaissaient déjà puisqu'en 1950, alors catcheurs, ils s'étaient affrontés lors d'un match au cours duquel Cogan a involontairement cassé la jambe de Ventura, qui a alors dû mettre un terme à sa carrière de catcheur.

Musique
Georges Lautner n'a utilisé qu'un seul thème musical, réalisé par Michel Magne et interprété dans une douzaine de styles musicaux différents  y compris le fameux piano-banjo à chaque « bourre-pif » de Fernand. Ce thème est restreint aux quatre notes du bourdon de Notre-Dame, et même la sonate présentée dans le film comme étant de Corelli est l'œuvre de Michel Magne, qui s'en est toujours amusé.

D'ailleurs, Lautner précisera :

Le disque, disponible chez Hortensia/Transatlantiques, propose les treize variations du thème musical et représente en lui-même un véritable exercice de style musical : folk, blues, rock, rhythm and blues, jazz, swing, slow, yéyé, musique concrète, lyrique...

Bernard Gérard l'a orchestrée et arrangée, bien qu'il n'en soit pas crédité au générique.

Accueil
Le film est un succès commercial lors de sa sortie en salles, attirant  durant sa sortie sur les grands écrans. Il fut, en revanche, éreinté par la critique (la mode était plutôt à la Nouvelle Vague), et en particulier par Henry Chapier ().

La réputation du film n'a fait que croître au fil des années. Plusieurs de ses répliques sont passées dans la mémoire collective. Il a, depuis sa sortie, été diffusé plusieurs dizaines de fois à la télévision et s'est vendu à  lors de sa sortie numériquement restaurée en DVD (2002), ce qui en fait ce que l'on nomme un film culte.

Postérité

 Jacques Dumesnil tient dans ce film son dernier rôle au cinéma. Il décède en 1998.
 Entre 1993 et 1998, un célèbre café-concert alternatif de la scène rock rennaise a été nommé Les Tontons flingueurs. La façade extérieure était décorée des caricatures des protagonistes du film.
 Le , pour le cinquantenaire du film, la « rue Michel-Le-Lou-du-Breil » située à Nantes est rebaptisée de façon parodique en « rue des Tontons-Flingueurs », afin de rendre hommage au film qui cite la ville au travers de « Lulu la Nantaise ».
 Le , un habitant du village d'Attin rebaptise provisoirement la « rue de la Culbute » en « rue des Tontons-Flingueurs » à l'occasion du cinquantenaire de la sortie du film.
 Le , la ville de Montauban rebaptise un de ses ronds-points au nord du centre-ville, le rond-point de la Mandoune, en « giratoire des Tontons-Flingueurs » où trônent des sculptures caricaturales en plexiglas des personnages du film. Certaines de ces effigies (celles des deux frères Volfoni) sont volées en  et, depuis, l'une est disparue, l'autre retrouvée, mais vandalisée : sciée, tronçonnée et abandonnée dans un chantier. Refaçonnés à l'identique, de nouveaux exemplaires sont installés, avec leurs socles coulés dans le béton, sur le giratoire, le .
 À Nantes comme à Montauban existent des bars-restaurants Lulu la Nantaise nommés en rapport direct avec le personnage brièvement évoqué durant la fameuse scène dans la cuisine.
 Georges Lautner meurt en , Claude Rich en  et Venantino Venantini en . Georges Nojaroff et Béatrice Delfe sont les derniers acteurs des Tontons Flingueurs encore en vie.
 Le leitmotiv caractéristique de la bande originale du film est fréquemment repris dans des publicités.
 En  se tient, à l'université Sorbonne-nouvelle, un colloque sur la place des Tontons flingueurs dans le paysage cinématographique et culturel français.
 Dans le film La classe américaine de Michel Hazanavicius et Dominique Mézerette, le personnage de Dino se dit en « nervous breakdown ».
 L'épisode « Oklahoma Jim » de la série de bandes dessinées Kid Lucky, consacrée à l'enfance de Lucky Luke, rend hommage au film au travers de deux répliques : Joe Dalton, au sujet d'Oklahma Jim : , puis Oklahoma Jim à l'institutrice qui tentait de poser la main sur les billets de banque :  De plus, l'histoire de Lucky Luke intitulée Les Tontons Dalton scénarisée par Laurent Gerra et dessinée par Achdé « revisite » le film.
 Le , jour de la mort du réalisateur Georges Lautner, lors de la troisième séance relative à la politique de la Ville et à la cohésion urbaine à l'Assemblée nationale, séance de nuit  présidée par Laurence Dumont, plusieurs députés, en particulier Arnaud Richard et Jérôme Guedj, ainsi que le ministre délégué à la Ville François Lamy, reprennent dans les débats des répliques cultes du film (au sujet de « Montauban », de « nervousses brékdones » ou de la « puissance de feu d'un croiseur », du « prix qui s'oublie » et de la « qualité qui reste », du « besoin des marins de faire des phrases », d'être « un tantinet décalé dans ses horaires », de ne « pas paraître vieux jeu mais [de considérer] que la vérité oblige à dire » ; lors du rejet d'un amendement, celui-ci est qualifié de « brutal », reprenant ainsi la fameuse phrase de la scène de la cuisine « c'est du brutal ! »). Le nom de Georges Lautner apparaît même deux fois dans la transcription intégrale des débats.
 En 2000, est réalisé un film pornographique français, s'en inspirant se nommant Les Tontons tringleurs

Répliques cultes

Les Tontons flingueurs est parsemé de répliques et de tirades cultes, qui sont pour beaucoup dans son immense succès populaire. À partir du roman d'Albert Simonin, et avec son aide en tant que coscénariste, Georges Lautner cisèle une situation comique, et Michel Audiard la met en paroles.

Parmi les réparties qui sont restées dans la mémoire collective, il y a par exemple celle de Raoul Volfoni au moment où, en plein conflit sur les affaires du Mexicain, Fernand Naudin vient lui chanter « Bon anniversaire » avant de lui mettre un coup de poing au visage. Peu après son départ, Raoul s'écrie :

Ou, dans la même situation à un autre moment :

En pleine nuit, Raoul se rend au garage du domicile de Fernand et tente de piéger sa voiture avec des bâtons de dynamite. Il envoie son frère Paul vérifier que Fernand est bien assoupi. L'entendant revenir, le nez plongé dans le capot de la voiture, il s'exclame :
Mais Raoul ne s'aperçoit pas que c'est à Fernand qu'il s'adresse, ce qui lui vaudra une sévère correction de la part de ce dernier.

À un moment, Fernand, nostalgique de sa vie rangée, fait la remarque suivante : « On ne devrait jamais quitter Montauban. »

Quand Fernand se rend sur la péniche qui abrite le tripot clandestin dirigé par les Volfoni, il est accompagné de Pascal et de . Rencontrant le marinier qui monte la garde, ce dernier explique qu'il a besoin « d'un ordre de Monsieur Raoul » pour les laisser passer. Mais Fernand lui donne un bourre-pif qui l'envoie par-dessus bord.  remarque alors : .

Après une mise au point musclée entre truands, Fernand Naudin, qui doit veiller à l'éducation de sa filleule Patricia, est quasiment remis à sa place par le petit ami de Patricia, Antoine de La Foy, un jeune homme filiforme. Tout se joue sur les mots, à propos de broutilles que le jeune homme retourne à son avantage :

Avec sa conclusion, cette scène pourrait résumer le film :

Lors d'une réunion sur l'état des affaires du Mexicain, la tenancière de la maison close, , se lamente :

Quand Fernand prend le dessus dans l'épreuve de force avec les autres truands et parvient à collecter l'argent des affaires clandestines, il revient peu après à la maison du Mexicain avec une grosse sacoche remplie de billets de banque. Il découvre alors que Patricia et son ami Antoine donnent une fête dans la résidence. Réfugié dans la cuisine, Fernand dialogue avec  sur la possibilité qu'auraient les Volfoni de venir les attaquer ici. Les écoutant, le majordome  récupère un revolver caché dans une boîte de biscuits, et affirme : « Quand ça change, ça change, faut jamais se laisser démonter. » Fernand réagit à son tour sur les intentions des frères Volfoni : « Les cons, ça ose tout, c'est même à ça qu'on les reconnaît. » Peu après, une jeune participante à la fête, un peu éméchée, entre dans la cuisine et met la main sur la sacoche remplie de billets.  s'exclame alors : « Touche pas au grisbi, salope ! »

Finalement, les Volfoni arrivent au « château ». Entrant dans la cuisine d'un air menaçant, Raoul accompagné de son frère Paul, dit à l'assistance : « Bougez pas ! Les mains sur la table. Je vous préviens qu'on a la puissance de feu d'un croiseur et des flingues de concours. » Mais , arrivant derrière eux, les désarme et tous se mettent autour de la table afin de beurrer des toasts pour la fête qui se poursuit à côté autour de Patricia. Les truands, pour détendre l'atmosphère, décident de boire un verre.  sort alors une bouteille très spéciale : de l'alcool clandestin de la marque « maison » The Three Kings. « Tiens, vous avez sorti le vitriol ? », demande Jean. « Il date du Mexicain, du temps des grandes heures », répond , « seulement, on a dû arrêter la fabrication, il y a des clients qui devenaient aveugles, ça faisait des histoires ». Raoul s'y essaye le premier : « Ah, il faut reconnaître, c'est du brutal ! » ce qui appelle cette réponse de Fernand : « J'ai connu une Polonaise qui en prenait au petit déjeuner ». Le dialogue continue. Raoul Volfoni : « Tu sais pas ce qu'il me rappelle ? C't'espèce de drôlerie qu'on buvait dans une petite taule de Bien Hoa, pas tellement loin de Saïgon. Les volets rouges... et la taulière, une blonde comac... Comment qu'elle s'appelait, nom de Dieu ? » Fernand Naudin lui répond : « Lulu la Nantaise ! » Quand Raoul lui demande « T'as connu ? », Fernand lève les yeux au ciel...

On pourrait citer une réplique de chaque scène, tant les dialogues ont été travaillés pour donner un rythme de comédie à ce film, volontairement décalé, sans pour autant tomber dans le burlesque. Chaque scène est traitée avec ce même décalage que l'on trouve dans les dialogues. L'agonie du Mexicain, par exemple, donne l'occasion à Audiard de glisser quelques perles :

Ou encore, quand Pascal, la « première gâchette » du Mexicain, vient de descendre les tueurs qui ont tenté d'abattre Fernand, celui-ci philosophe sur les valeurs qui se perdent :

Et, sur un autre ton, quand Fernand veut s'assurer que l'aventure de Patricia avec son Antoine est sérieuse, celle-ci lui répond avec ce même décalage :

Éditions vidéo
La qualité de réalisation de l'édition en DVD des Tontons flingueurs en 2002 a été très soignée, entre autres par élimination numérique de l'inévitable tressautement d'image des projecteurs . Le même traitement a, par la suite, été accordé à un autre film, Le cave se rebiffe. L'opération de colorisation de ces deux longs métrages fut plus discutée, mais reste toujours « réversible » par élimination de la couleur (avec, néanmoins, une perte de netteté et de tons dans les gris malgré une augmentation artificielle du contraste).

En 2003, une autre édition numérotée à  sous coffret en bois avait déjà été proposée en y associant Les Barbouzes.

En 2013, une édition numérotée à  est éditée en coffret pour le cinquantième anniversaire du film, avec le CD de la bande originale et le scénario annoté.

En 2017, une édition 4K est réalisée à partir du négatif original. C'est le premier titre de la Gaumont paru en Blu-ray 4K. Le rendu rappelle la grande beauté de la photographie noir et blanc lors des gros plans.

Mortgage Fraud in the White Collar criminal division of the US Attorney's Office is one of the busiest divisions and has been for the last several years. No one is immune from prosecution, except maybe the banks.
Two lawyers are among six defendants federally charged in what authorities say was a $30 million mortgage fraud carried out in the New York City area between 2003 and 2008.
All face a single count of conspiracy to commit mortgage fraud, Newsday reports. The charge carries a maximum prison term of 30 years, upon conviction.
The scheme worked by artificially inflating the prices of 19 homes on Long Island by up to 80 percent, the feds say. After agreeing to purchasing homes from innocent sellers at market prices, participants allegedly obtained loans based on inflated values and false claims concerning their own debts and assets. At closing, they allegedly shared the difference between the mortgaged amount and the actual purchase or sale price. Then, the feds say, they resold the mortgages, through an insider's mortgage company, on the secondary market to banks and other investors at the inflated price, according to the Long Island Press and a press release from the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York.
Lenders lost millions when the Nassau County and Suffolk County homes went into foreclosure.
The accused ringleader, Aaron Wider, 50, is the owner of a Garden City mortgage company that obtained funding for transactions from other mortgage lenders. Attorney John Petiton, 68, of Garden City, is accused of orchestrating home resales at inflated prices. Attorney John Finger, 48, who practices in Mineola, is accused of concealing from lenders at closing the true price and distributing the difference between the mortgage amount and the purchase amount to insiders.
A real estate appraiser is also among the defendants. All are expected to appear in federal court in Central Islip on Tuesday and Wednesday, but the news articles don't include any comment from them or their legal counsel.
