The World Series of Poker kicks off this week in Las Vegas. Recently, PJ correspondent compncards was able to interview Thomas Bihl. Bihl won a bracelet in the HORSE event of the first ever World Series of Poker Europe.
Compncards: Today I am talking with Thomas Bihl, Full Tilt pro and the first man to win a World Series of Poker Bracelet outside of Las Vegas. Thomas, thank you for taking the time to talk to your fellow poker junkies.
Compncards: Thomas, you had mentioned to me once that your first live HORSE tournament was in 2007 at the WSOP in Las Vegas. Just two months later, you won the first WSOP bracelet to be awarded outside of Vegas in the same game. What did you pick up from that first tournament that helped you to succeed at the WSOP-E?
TB: I did pick up the desire to become one of the best HORSE players out there. I also picked up confidence as I felt I could hang with most of the players despite my lack of experience at that time in the format. So my next target was to improve my game and take a shot at the WSOPE HORSE event.
Compncards: Do you play a lot of HORSE online? If not, do you play a lot of the individual games in the rotation?
TB: I like to play HORSE cash games if they are worth my time. Early this year there was a really juicy 100/200 and 200/400 on Stars that I owned for a while. Sadly a few of the weaker players disappeared and so did the whole game. On Full Tilt I sometimes play $500 and $1.000 Heads-Up HORSE SnGs. Of the individual games in the rotation I sometimes play Razz and Stud Eight which I think are my forte and occasionally O8.
Note to readers: Thomas and I actually were at the same table together for his first live HORSE tournament. Thomas was indeed one of the strongest Razz players at the table.
Compncards: What do you think of the current offerings of 8-Game or the "Mixed Event" as the WSOP likes to call it?
TB: I like the idea of an 8-Game Mixed Event. However I do not think I am top drawer in some of the games, especially PLO, so I am unlikely to participate this year.
Compncards: ESPN has decided to eliminate all non-Holdem events from TV this year, including the $50,000 HORSE World Championships. Having won a bracelet in a non-Holdem event, and specifically HORSE, what are your thoughts on this move?
TB: To be honest this came as a big surprise and kind of shock to me. For me, and many other poker players, the WSOP was the one series that also supported and featured strong non NLH events. I have also read that the WSOPE will not feature a HORSE event this year, it will all be NLH/PLO, and I think that is sad to say the least. After all HORSE is still rated as the supreme discipline by many pros.
Note to readers: Several Non-NLH events will be broadcast online via Bluffmagazine.com and ESPN360.com.
Compncards: If someone came up to you and asked you for one tip that would improve their HORSE game, what would that tip be?
Compncards: How did you get connected with Full Tilt Poker? In the past, you were a Betfair sponsored pro. Was this a result of your WSOP bracelet win, or just another in a long line of business moves by pros?
TB: It is true I started playing on that site and for a while had a co-operation with them. However they failed to market my bracelet win so I decided to move on at the end of 2007. I am happy to be part of the Full Tilt family and have never looked back.
Compncards: I just checked out your schedule of events over at buzzerpoker.com and I notice that you are only playing 2 straight No Limit Holdem events (both shootouts) this summer. Do you prefer the mixed games and the non-Holdem events or are you doing like many pros and focusing on events that you feel you have the best shot to win?
TB: First of all I can play solid NLH events all year round in Europe while the WSOP offers an almost unique chance to play for decent prize pools, and of course bracelets, in other disciplines. That is a challenge I enjoy tremendously. Secondly I feel that these days there are a lot of really strong NLH players so I am rather one amongst many if you will. In contrast to that I feel that in HORSE, Razz and the Split Games I can hang with anybody.
Compncards: Taking yourself out of the equation, who do you feel has the best shot at winning the $50,000 HORSE event this year and why?
TB: The event will be as star-studded as wide open. This is also illustrated by the fact that only a single player, Barry Greenstein, managed to get placed in the 2007 and 2008 running of this event. So he would have to be on top of my list of possible winners. A "dark HORSE" to look out for is Alexander Jung, a young player from Germany with bags of talent.
Compncards: Of course, many of our junkies are probably wondering if you have ever taken a shot at "The Big Game" over at the Bellagio. If you have, how did it turn out for you? If not, do you have any plans to take on the big boys?
TB: I have not yet played "The Big Game" at the Bellagio. I feel it is a little out of my bankroll comfort zone so if anyone wants to stake me for that feel free to contact me through my website.
Thomas, thank you for taking time to talk to all of the poker junkie here. Good luck to you at the World Series.
TB: Thanks, I appreciate it.

'Paddington 2' Film Review: Get Ready for More Teddy in This Delightful Romp
This is the rare sequel that's even better than its predecessor
Nicholas Barber | January 8, 2018 @ 8:30 PM	Last Updated: January 8, 2018 @ 8:41 PM
Michael Bond's Paddington Bear stories are charmingly small in scale, so it was quite a gamble when David Heyman, the producer of the "Harry Potter" series, decided that they should be the basis of an action-packed, megabudget franchise. It turned out, though, that he knew what he was doing: "Paddington" was a beloved hit in 2015, and the superior sequel is bound to be even more lucrative.
Once again directed by Paul King, and co-written by King and Simon Farnaby, "Paddington 2" is a sure-footed, sweet-natured family comedy which isn't set at Christmas, but which glows with so much warmth and fun that it might well be a staple of festive television for years to come. (The film has just opened in the United Kingdom last October; the North American rights were picked up by Warner Bros. from the embattled Weinstein Company.)
One obvious way that it improves on its predecessor is in its choice of villain. The first film introduced an ursine hero who was pretty close to the one in Bond's books. Endearingly voiced by Ben Whishaw and exquisitely computer-generated, he was a mild-mannered, duffle-coated innocent, who had no superpowers or special abilities except his withering hard stare. And yet he was up against a murderous taxidermist (Nicole Kidman), who was intent on putting his skin on display in a museum. She seemed to have strutted in from a different film altogether. Fortunately, "Paddington 2" is less likely to give young viewers nightmares.

Its antagonist is a vain, past-it thespian, Phoenix Buchanan, played with delightfully self-parodying foppishness by Hugh Grant. Buchanan dreams of staging a one-man show in the West End, and his complicated fund-raising plans — which would have been at home in an Ealing comedy — involve stealing a vintage pop-up book from the antique shop owned by Paddington's friend Mr. Gruber (Jim Broadbent).
Alas, thanks to a bad case of mistaken identity, it is Paddington who is led away in handcuffs (or rather, paw-cuffs), and sentenced to 10 years in prison. And while that may sound like cruel and unusual punishment, the screenplay provides a witty reason for the judge's harshness.
From here on, King's perfectly paced, joke-filled caper cuts back and forth between two parallel plots. One strand puts Paddington's adoptive family, the Browns (Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, et al), on the trail of Buchanan, a master of disguise who is spotted around London in a tramp's rags, a nun's habit and a suit of armour. Behind bars, meanwhile, Paddington has to win over a fearsome fellow inmate, Knuckles McGinty (Brendan Gleeson), with his marmalade sandwiches and his naive politeness.

It's this unwavering courtesy which gives the film its central theme. Paddington is presented as the furry offspring of Amélie and Forrest Gump, someone so habitually decent that he makes the world a better place simply by being in it. Before he is arrested, the film establishes that his neighbors (played by Sanjeev Bhaskar, Jessica Hynes, Ben Miller and others) would be as lost without his small acts of kindness as the townsfolk in "It's a Wonderful Life" would be without James Stewart's George Bailey.
Children will rightly chortle at Paddington's clumsiness: when he works as a hairdresser and as a window cleaner, his elaborate mishaps are worthy of Laurel and Hardy. But adults may well shed a tear at the film's sincere celebration of selflessness and community. Only the grumpy Mr. Curry (Peter Capaldi) holds out against Paddington's benevolence, and he's quite the explicit caricature of an anti-immigration Brexit voter.

Not that King sticks with real-world politics for long. Both of his "Paddington" films are proudly artificial in a manner reminiscent of Michel Gondry, Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Wes Anderson, so that even when our hero is in trouble, we're never far from the transporting comfort of a gorgeous fantasy sequence, an upbeat musical interlude or an array of pastel colors. Production designer Gary Williamson ("Submarine") and animation director Pablo Grillo ("Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them") are crucial to the film's magical feel.
Purists may quibble that this magical feel doesn't have much to do with Bond's original stories. Bond, who died in July at the age of 91, set them in a recognizable contemporary London, with much of the humor arose from the clash between something as exotic as a talking bear and something as ordinary as a department-store security guard. In contrast, King's big-screen London is a quaint fantasy city, twinkling with fairy lights and dotted with steam trains and ancient printing presses.
Considering that "Paddington 2" is so beguiling, it may seem churlish to object to these embellishments. But it's a slight shame that King didn't become a bankable director a decade or so earlier. That way, he could have made a Harry Potter film and adapted a British children's book that was better suited to his own whimsical, retro sensibilities.
65 Stars Who Have Condemned Harvey Weinstein (Photos)
In the wake of two bombshell reports detailing the sexual harassment, assault and rape allegations against Harvey Weinstein, dozens and dozens of stars have come out to publicly condemn the powerhouse producer and co-founder of Miramax and The Weinstein Company.
Ashley Judd was one of the first women to come forward in the initial New York Times report. Judd told the Times that she was invited to Weinstein's hotel room, where he repeatedly asked for inappropriate contact such as massages. "I said no, a lot of ways, a lot of times, and he always came back at me with some new ask," she said. "It was all this bargaining, this coercive bargaining."
Gwyneth Paltrow was nicknamed "The First Lady of Miramax" after starring in "Emma" and "Shakespeare in Love," but in a follow-up report by the Times, Paltrow revealed that Weinstein also made inappropriate advances toward her when she was 22. "I was a kid, I was signed up [for 'Emma], I was petrified," she said. "I thought he was going to fire me."
Angelina Jolie told the New York Times in an email that she had a "bad experience" with Weinstein as a young actress, but provided no further details, simply adding that she "chose never to work with him again and warn others when they did." "This behavior towards women in any field, any country is unacceptable," she said.
Rose McGowan was named in the initial New York Times report as having reached a $100,000 settlement with Weinstein "after an episode in a hotel room during the Sundance Film Festival" in 1997. The actress, who starred in "Scream" for Miramax in 1996, has repeatedly condemned Weinstein and his enablers since the story first broke, and has launched a petition to have the board of The Weinstein Company dissolved. She also accused her "Going All the Way" co-star Ben Affleck of covering up Weinstein's behavior.
Asia Argento was one of three women who said they were raped by Weinstein in a bombshell New Yorker report by Ronan Farrow. The star of Miramax's 1998 crime drama "B. Monkey" said she was lured to Weinstein's hotel room under the false pretense of a party, where he requested a massage and forcibly performed oral sex on her. She said she remained friendly with Weinstein, including a continuing sexual relationship, for fear that speaking out would cost her career. "When I see him, it makes me feel little and stupid and weak." she said. "After the rape, he won."
Rosanna Arquette told the New Yorker that Weinstein lured her to his hotel room where he exposed himself to her, grabbed her hand and tried to place it on his penis. "I'm not that girl. I will never be that girl," she said she told him after he threatened her career. "He's going to be working very hard to track people down and silence people," she said. "To hurt people. That's what he does."
Mira Sorvino starred in multiple Weinstein films, including 1995's "Mighty Aphrodite," for which she won an Academy Award. The actress told The New Yorker that Weinstein repeatedly harassed her when they were working together, saying she "must have said no a thousand times." She also confessed that she believes her rejection of Weinstein's advances cost her work. "There may have been other factors, but I definitely felt iced out and that my rejection of Harvey had something to do with it," she said.
Cara Delevingne, who appeared in The Weinstein Company's "Tulip Fever," described her own experience of being sexually harassed by Weinstein in an Instagram post. "I felt very powerless and scared but didn't want to act that way, hoping that I was wrong about the situation," she wrote, saying that guilt and fear kept her from speaking out sooner.
Kate Beckinsale came forward to describe her own "uneasy" encounter with Weinstein in which the producer invited the then-17-year-old to his hotel room, greeted her in his bathrobe and offered her alcohol. She said Weinstein approached her years later to ask if he had "tried anything" with her during their first meeting. "I realized he couldn't remember if he had assaulted me or not," she wrote.
Léa Seydoux described being sexually harassed by Weinstein in an interview with The Guardian. The "Blue Is the Warmest Colour" star said she met the producer at his hotel room while they were both in Paris, and said Weinstein "suddenly jumped on me and tried to kiss me," forcing her to physically resist him. "Everyone knew what Harvey was up to and no one did anything," she said. "It's unbelievable that he's been able to act like this for decades and still keep his career."
George Clooney called Weinstein's actions "indefensible" in an interview with The Daily Beast. Weinstein helped launch Clooney's film career with 1996's "From Dusk Till Dawn," but the actor said he never witnessed the behavior first-hand and dismissed the rumors that swirled around the powerhouse producer for decades. "We've had dinners, we've been on location together, we've had arguments. But I can tell you that I've never seen any of this behavior -- ever," he said.
Benedict Cumberbatch, who stars in The Weinstein Company's "The Current War," said in a statement that he was "utterly disgusted" by Weinstein's "horrifying and unforgivable actions." He called on everyone in the industry to stand up for women and victims of sexual abuse. "Others may be emboldened by our support to come forward and speak. But we shouldn't wait until there are any more stories like this," he said. "There has to be zero tolerance of any such behavior in any walk of life."
Leonardo DiCaprio, who worked with Weinstein on a number of films including "The Aviator," "Django Unchained," and "Gangs of New York," issued a statement on Facebook condemning sexual harassment and assault, but stopped short of naming Weinstein or referring to the allegations made against him directly. "I applaud the strength and courage of the women who came forward and made their voices heard," he wrote.
Kate Winslet called Weinstein's behavior "reprehensible and disgusting" in a statement to Variety, voicing unequivocal support for his accusers. ""I have no doubt that for these women this time has been, and continues to be extremely traumatic," she said. "I fully embrace and salute their profound courage." Winslet won an Oscar for the Weinstein-produced ""The Reader" in 2009.
Glenn Close said she was aware of the "vague rumors" that surrounded Weinstein in a statement to the New York Times, adding that she felt "angry and darkly sad" that they've now been substantiated. "I'm angry, not just at him and the conspiracy of silence around his actions, but also that the 'casting couch' phenomenon, so to speak, is still a reality in our business and in the world," she said.
Meryl Streep said in a statement to the Huffington Post that she "didn't know" about the allegations against Weinstein, despite starring in a number of his films, including "August: Osage County." "The behavior is inexcusable, but the abuse of power familiar," she said. "Each brave voice that is raised, heard and credited by our watchdog media will ultimately change the game."
Charlize Theron voiced support for the women who came forward with accusations against Weinstein on Instagram, saying that she wasn't surprised by the reports. "This culture has always existed, not just in Hollywood, but across the world," she wrote. "And many men in positions of power have gotten away with it for far too long. We cannot blame the victims here ... I want you all to know I support you."
Cate Blanchett, like her "Aviator" co-star Leonardo DiCaprio, stopped short of naming Weinstein in her statement condemning sexual harassment. "Any man in a position of power or authority who thinks it's his prerogative to threaten, intimidate or sexually assault any woman he encounters or works alongside needs to be called to account," she said.
Jennifer Lawrence won an Oscar for the Weinstein-produced "Silver Linings Playbook" in 2013, but the actress said in a statement that she was "deeply disturbed" by the allegations against him. "This kind of abuse is inexcusable and absolutely upsetting," she said. "My heart goes out to all of the women affected by these gross actions. And I want to thank them for their bravery to come forward."
Nicole Kidman issued a statement saying she supports all women "who speak out against any abuse and misuse of power -- be it domestic violence or sexual harassment in the workforce." Kidman has worked with Weinstein on a number of films, including "Cold Mountain," "The Others," "Nine" and last year's "Lion."
Mark Ruffalo, who has starred in multiple films produced by Weinstein, tweeted his condemnation of the producer, calling his actions "a disgusting abuse of power and horrible." He later elaborated in an interview with Channel 4, saying, "That s--- can't stand. And we have to call it out, even if it's in our own community."
Kevin Smith has a long history of working with Weinstein, including Miramax films like "Clerks" and "Chasing Amy." In a tweet, the filmmaker said he was "ashamed" of that partnership. "He financed the first 14 years of my career - and now I know while I was profiting, others were in terrible pain. It makes me feel ashamed," he wrote.
Kevin Smith Patrick Fraser/TheWrap
Jane Fonda told CNN's Christiane Amanpour that she's known about Weinstein's behavior since she was approached a year ago by her friend Rosanna Arquette, who later went public with her accusations in the New Yorker. "I'm ashamed that I didn't say anything right then," she said, explaining that she "didn't feel that it was [her] place" to speak out on someone' else's behalf.
Judi Dench earned a string of Oscar nominations for her work in Weinstein films, including "Mrs. Brown," "Chocolat," "Iris," "Notes on a Scandal" and "Shakespeare in Love." She once even had a Weinstein's name temporarily tattooed on her butt as a joke. In a statement to Newsweek, the actress said she was "completely unaware" of his behavior, calling it "horrifying."
Minnie Driver has starred in a number of Weinstein-produced films, most notably "Good Will Hunting," for which she received an Oscar nomination, but in a statement to Variety the actress said she never experienced abuse first-hand. "I think it's important to add my voice to those of women everywhere who have experienced abuse at the hands of powerful men," she said.
Lena Dunham condemned Weinstein as a "predator" in a scathing New York Times op-ed, also taking aim at men in Hollywood who remained silent about his behavior. "The reason I am zeroing in on the men is that they have the least to lose and the most power to shift the narrative, and are probably not dealing with the same level of collective and personal trauma around these allegations," she wrote.
Jessica Chastain said in a series of tweets that she was "warned from the beginning" about Weinstein and called on others to support victims and call out abuse. "Thank God for social media," she wrote. "Weinstein couldn't kill this wave of warriors working to keep this story alive. This has been very painful."
Matt Damon was once recruited by Weinstein to vouch for him when TheWrap's Sharon Waxman first tried to report a story about Weinstein's actions for the New York Times in 2004. In an interview with Deadline, he denied that he had any knowledge of abuse. "Even before I was famous, I didn't abide this kind of behavior," he said. "But now, as the father of four daughters, this is the kind of sexual predation that keeps me up at night. This is the great fear for all of us."
Ben Affleck, who worked with Weinstein on "Good Will Hunting," wrote in a statement on Facebook that he was "addened and angry that a man who I worked with used his position of power to intimidate, sexually harass, and manipulate women over decades." However, his "Going All the Way" co-star Rose McGowan later accused him of covering up for Weinstein in a tweet. "You lie," she wrote.
Penelope Cruz said she was "extremely sad and shocked" by the allegations against Weinstein in a statement to Buzzfeed. "I need to express my support to the women that have had such horrible experiences. They have shown great bravery by talking," said Cruz, who won an Oscar for The Weinstein Company's "Vicky Cristina Barcelona." "That kind of abuse of power is absolutely unacceptable."
Heather Graham wrote in an essay for Variety that Weinstein once made her an offer to trade sex for a role in one of his films, an offer she declined and never spoke about publicly. "My hope is that this moment starts a dialogue on redefining sexual harassment in the workplace and empowers women to speak out when they feel uncomfortable in a situation," she wrote.
Jamie Lee Curtis penned an op-ed in The Huffington Post in response to the accusation from Donna Karan that sexual harassment victims are "asking for it." Referring to Weinstein as a "brutish thug," Curtis shared that she had been subject to harassment throughout her own career despite never having asked for it. "Perhaps the truth will out other sexual harassment, be it from a governor or a president or a presidential candidate or studio head or movie star or executive or anyone else complicit in this billionaire boys club bulls--- that will come to an inglorious end," she wrote.
Iliza Shlesinger was set to publish her book "Girl Logic" with the Weinstein Books imprint at Hachette, but the stand-up comic condemned Weinstein's "deplorable behavior" in a statement on Twitter. "We owe it to ourselves as a community to no longer be complicit in this culture of misogyny," she wrote. "Things must change." Hachette later announced that it would shut down Weinstein Books and release all contracted books through other imprints.
Julianne Moore discussed the Weinstein scandal on MSNBC, saying she never had a problematic encounter with Weinstein personally, despite starring in multiple films for Miramax and The Weinstein Company. "I'm shocked," she said. "I think no one was aware that he had settled with eight different women and as we know, cases keep coming forward so this, to me, is completely egregious and shocking." She said individuals need to "speak up" to create a safe environment for accusers to come forward.
Emma Thompson called out Weinstein as a "predator" in an interview with BBC's "Newsnight." "I didn't know about these things but they don't surprise me at all and they are endemic to the system anyway," she said. "There has been a conspiracy of silence and I think there will probably have been about a million and one missed opportunities to call this man out on his disgusting behavior."
Seth MacFarlane made a joke referencing Weinstein's sexual misconduct during an Oscars announcement in 2013. Following the reports about Weinstein's actions, the "Ted" star revealed that the joke "came from a place of loathing and anger" after a friend of his recounted her experience with Weinstein.
Ryan Coogler's debut feature "Fruitvale Station" was released by The Weinstein Company, but the director said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter that he had no knowledge of the abuse or any further interaction with Weinstein. "As men we sit in positions of privilege. It is our responsibility to leverage our position, and be allies to the women in our industry," he said. "We need to do everything we can to make sure violations like these don't continue to happen."
John Madden, who directed Miramax's "Shakespeare In Love," said in a statement to Buzzfeed that Weinstein's actions "deserve total condemnation." He continued, "I applaud the women who have been brave enough to share their testimony of profoundly damaging and deeply abusive experiences."
Tamron Hall, the "Today" show alum who signed a deal with The Weinstein Company for her own talk show, told The Huffington Post that she called Weinstein directly for a "take no prisoners" phone call after the New York Times report. She called the behavior described by his accusers "horrifying" and said she was working with lawyers to figure out the "next steps" for her show.
Alyssa Milano serves as host of "Project Runway: All Stars," a TV project produced by Weinstein. She said in a lengthy statement that she was "sickened" by the accusations, but adding that she was hopeful that bringing them to light would lead to change. "I'm happy -- ecstatic even -- that it has opened up a dialogue around the continued sexual harassment, objectification and degradation of women," she said. "Sexual harassment and assault in the workplace are not just about Harvey Weinstein. We must change things in general. We must do better for women everywhere."
Tom Hanks slammed Weinstein in an interview with the New York Times, calling the producer an "ass" and saying that the allegations made against him "fit" with Weinstein's publicly aggressive persona. "I know all kinds of people that just love hitting on, or making the lives of underlings some degree of miserable, because they can," he said. "They think their achievements entitle them."
Chris Hemsworth spoke out against Weinstein in an interview with TVNZ while promoting "Thor: Ragnarok." "It's horrible, it's awful, my heart goes out to anyone who suffered through that kind of abuse and experience," he said. "I hope it sheds a light on the issue and people don't continue to abuse their positions of power, and people aren't manipulated into situations they don't want to be a part of."
Viola Davis came out against Weinstein, who produced the film "Kate & Leopold," in a statement to Variety. "To the predators.. Weinstein, the stranger, the relative, the boyfriend," she wrote. "I say to you, 'You can choose your sin but you don't get to choose the consequences.' To the victims.... I see you. I believe you... and I'm listening."
Brie Larson's breakout role was as a sexual assault survivor in "Short Term 12," and the actress has been an outspoken advocate through the years, memorably hugging survivors at the Oscars and refusing to applaud for Casey Affleck. She reiterated her support in a tweet following the news about Weinstein. "As always, I stand with the brave survivors of sexual assault and harassment," she wrote. "It's not your fault. I believe you."
Emma Watson worked with Weinstein on "My Week with Marilyn" in 2011 and did not single out Weinstein in her condemnation of sexual harassment on Twitter following the New York Times report. "I stand with all the women who have been sexually harassed, and am awestruck by their bravery. This mistreatment of women has to stop," she wrote, adding that men can also be victims of sexual harassment.
Ryan Gosling starred in 2010's "All Good Things," which was produced by Weinstein, and in a statement on Twitter the actor said he was "deeply disappointed in [himself] for being so oblivious" to Weinstein's behavior. Noting that Weinstein is part of a "systemic problem, Gosling said called on men to "stand with women and work together until there is real accountability and change."
Seth Rogen came out in support of Weinstein's accusers in a tweet shortly after the initial New York Times report. "I believe all the women coming forward about Harvey Weinstein's sexual harassment," he wrote. "It takes bravery to do so."
Rebecca Hall appeared in multiple Weinstein films, including "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," and said she had previously heard rumors of his behavior but never experienced it first-hand. "I certainly was never allowed near a meeting with him on my own, and anything like that. In retrospect, I understand why, even if my representatives weren't explicitly telling me," she told IndieWire.
Paul Feig called Weinstein's behavior "reprehensible" in a series of interviews with The Guardian, later adding that an audio recording published by The New Yorker was "beyond disturbing." "Men need to speak up," the "Bridesmaids" director said. "This can't be women just speaking up. They need backup. It's a big sacrifice for women to come forward with this stuff. As we've seen over history, they are generally not rewarded for coming forward."
Jeffrey Katzenberg, the former Disney executive who worked with Weinstein after Miramax was bought by the company, publicly released an email he sent to Weinstein after the producer turned to him for help in the wake of the New York Times report. "You have done terrible things to a number of women over a period of years," he wrote to Weinstein. "I cannot in any way say this is OK with me.... It's not at all, and I am sickened by it, angry with you and incredibly disappointed in you."
Michael Eisner, the former Disney CEO who fired Weinstein and his brother Bob from running Miramax, called Harvey "an incorrigible bully" in a tweet, adding that he "had no idea he was capable of these horrible actions."
Bob Iger, the Disney CEO who served as president and COO when Weinstein's Miramax was acquired by the company, released a statement condemning Weinstein, saying that the producer's "reported behavior is abhorrent and unacceptable, and it has no place in our society."
Nancy Dubuc, the A+E Networks chief who's in business with The Weinstein Company on "Project Runway" and other TV properties, called Weinstein's behavior "disgusting and horrifying" in an interview with Variety. "One of the epidemics in our industry is the abuse of power," she said. "When it's pushed to extreme physical limits as in what we saw with Bill Cosby and what's coming out now (with Weinstein) it is particularly troubling."
Jeremy Zimmer, CEO of UTA, sent an internal memo to staff in the wake of the Weinstein scandal, calling it "disgusting" and saying he was "proud" of the UTA clients who stepped forward with their allegations against Weinstein. "Harvey earned his demise. And it should serve as a cautionary tale to anyone in our industry who believes moguls own their thrones," he wrote, encouraging staffers to report inappropriate behavior at the company.
Colin Firth starred in Weinstein's Oscar-winning "The King's Speech," said in a statement to The Guardian that he was given a "feeling of nausea" when reading the reports about Weinstein. "He was a powerful and frightening man to stand up to. It must have been terrifying for these women to step up and call him out. And horrifying to be subjected to that kind of harassment. I applaud their courage," he said.
Jeff Bridges addressed the allegations against Weinstein in an interview with the Associated Press. "It was a terrible thing he did," he said. "I wish him the best, struggling with his demons. But his behavior was terrible."
Gretchen Mol had been subject to a number of rumors about her relationship with Weinstein over the years, but the actress spoke out against those rumors in a guest column for The Hollywood Reporter. "The shameless behavior of this powerful man found shameless co-conspirators in people ... who then tried to push their foulness onto women who are blameless," she wrote. "I hope my colleagues, those women who have been affected by this abuse, can put this poison aside. We have no reason to feel ashamed."
Christian Slater shared a statement on Twitter, voicing support for the women making allegations against Weinstein and calling on men to support them. "No woman should fear for her safety in the workplace," he wrote. "No man should feel immune from the consequences of his actions. Accountability is essential to destroy the dangerous and persistent idea that some people are above the law."
Blake Lively discussed the allegations against Weinstein in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, calling them "devastating." "This exists everywhere so remember to look everywhere," she said. "This isn't a single incident. This cannot happen, this should not happen, and it happens in every single industry."
Robert Rodriguez has released several films with Weinstein, including "From Dusk Til Dawn," "Sin City" and "Spy Kids." The director released a statement calling the allegations against Weinstein "truly disturbing." "His repulsive behavior was an abuse of power," he said. "Thankfully, he's now discovering what true power is."
David Thewlis, who recently starred in Weinstein's adaptation of "Macbeth," issued a short statement to Buzzfeed saying, "Men like this who equate fame and power with the right to degrade women should be unequivocally condemned, shamed and be seen to suffer the consequences."
Chloe Sevigny made her film debut in the Weinstein-produced "Kids" in 1995. She condemned him in a statement to Buzzfeed, calling for "casting couch culture" to come to an end. "Every woman speaking her truth, and every person who supports that woman, will help that change," she said.
James Gunn shared a lengthy Facebook post titled "On Sexual Predators In Hollywood (and the World)" in the wake of the Weinstein scandal, condemning sexual predators in every industry. "When someone is coerced sexually it not only affectthat he was s that person, but the lives of those around that person, like rows of dominoes falling in every direction. It demolishes trust and comfort in all of society," he wrote. "F---. Them. All."
Lin-Manuel Miranda tweeted that he was "appalled and repulsed by the Weinstein news as anyone with a beating heart. And forever in awe of the bravery of those who spoke out." His "In the Heights" co-author Quiara Alegría Hudes later released a statement asking that The Weinstein Company allow them to extricate the film adaptation and take it to another company, a request Miranda co-signed.
Ewan McGregor called his "August: Osage County" collaborator a "bully" on Twitter saying that he had "heard rumors" about Weinstein through the years. "Weinstein. It's about time this came to light and he is getting just deserts," he wrote.

Hearing my wife Atara recite Birkat HaGomel after giving birth to our children is among the most spiritual experiences of my life. The break in her voice communicates the intensity of labor and childbirth. Hearing her muster all her energy to give thanks to God for the gift of a new child, and for surviving the ordeal, evokes the recognition that all the blessings of life come from God.
The opening paragraph of Parshat Tazria requires the new mother to bring a young lamb as an Olah offering and a pigeon or dove as a Sin offering. Why these offerings, rather than a Thanksgiving? Exploring that question will give us a window onto the profound nature of creating life and its relationship to the Divine.
Niddah (31b) famously asks why the new mother needs to bring a Sin offering. Rabbi Simeon Bar Yochai answers that women in the throes of labor pains swear off marital intimacy to avoid future pregnancy. The Sin offering atones for uttering that oath, which she will violate. But the Talmud rejects this answer in two ways. First, the oath can be undone through asking a sage, preempting the need to violate the oath. Second, this circumstance and offering do not comport with the regular rules of Sin offerings for oath violations. Nonetheless, the Talmud does not provide an alternative explanation for the Sin offering.
I suggest that instead of viewing the Sin and Olah offerings as discrete sacrifices, we should view them as a package. This fits the structure of The Book of Leviticus, whose first seven chapters detail the circumstances and procedures for individuals to bring discrete sacrifices. The sanctification of the Tabernacle and the priests, which follows, entails a package of sacrifices. The new mother is introduced here because she is an individual who brings a package of sacrifices.
Leviticus 9:2-3- sanctification of the Tabernacle and the priests, brought by Aharon.
Leviticus 16: 3, 5- the Yom Kippur sacrificial order. Both Aharon and the people of Israel bring this package of sacrifices.
Leviticus 5:7- a pauper can replace a cattle Sin offering for accidentally violating an oath by bringing two birds; one as an Olah and one as a Sin sacrifice.
Numbers 6:11- if a nazir becomes impure and violates his nazirite status.
The common denominator of these cases is that in some way the human being enters God's domain. In the sanctification of the Tabernacle and priests, people and objects become sanctified, while the Levites in occurrence two are rebirthed with a new status. Example three has a human being entering holy space. The pauper in the fourth case cannot just replace the obligated cattle Sin sacrifice with a bird Sin sacrifice. Rather, the pauper needs to acknowledge the change in the divinely ordained sacrificial rite.
Furthermore, God's realm is not just in the holy, but also in matters of life and death. The Zav and Zavah, previously excluded halakhically and perhaps biologically from fertility, offer sacrifices at being able to be fruitful again. So too, the new mother of our parsha enters into G-d's domain by creates life, just as God does in Genesis.
The human ability to enter realms beyond this material world can cause confusion as to the proper boundary between the human and divine. The uncommanded actions of Nadav and Avihu illustrate this confusion. Performing a temple service must be done according to divine prescription. We can only enter God's domain as part of our partnership with Him.
The postpartum woman feels a complete whirlwind of emotions. Her body is bursting with adrenaline, and she looks in amazement at the tiny being whom she just birthed. At the same time her body aches, and many also suffer from postpartum depression. The range of emotions can run the gamut. Halacha steps into the breach to set the right balance. To combat the pain and emotional lows, the Bible insists that the woman recognize that she successfully crossed into God's realm and created life, but did so as God's partner. The new mother must therefore offer Olah and Sin offerings. The new mother has not sinned in any way. Rather this combination declares the partnership between God and humanity in creation in general and in generating this particular new life. The completely consumed Olah represents God and our complete dedication to God, while the Sin offering represents the fragile and imperfect state of humanity. Brought together, the package symbolizes the partnership.
This message of human partnership with God is reflected in a few other laws in this section. First, the new mother automatically has dedicated days of impurity and purity. Regardless of any symptomatic bodily secretions, the woman must have a few days of impurity followed by more days of purity. This is unique in the laws of purity and impurity. Second, the command to circumcise male children and bring them into Abraham's covenant is listed here. Third, the new mother is the Bible's first individual to be prohibited from entering the temple (Leviticus 12:4) and this is even while she is pure. We learn that these this exclusion applies to other impurities in Numbers 5:2-3 as a general prohibition on some people from entering the temple and its surrounding domains, but only with the new mother is this law stated in the context of the actual impurity and purity. This woman, who just created life like God, is excluded from God's domain. She then re-enters the temple once she brings her Olah and Sin offering package, which is her declaration of her human partnership with God.
Humans are granted the great privilege and opportunity to live in the "image of God." This potential enables us to pursue the creative, sublime and holy. To take full advantage requires that on the one hand we acknowledge even the divinity of frequent occurrences. On the other hand, we get this opportunity because of our partnership with God. With this balance, we can truly achieve, as the Bible's new mother does, the proper covenantal relationship with God.
 This list does not distinguish between the ordering of the sacrifices. See Zevachim 90a and the comments of Rav Hirsch 12:6 s.v. o'ben for further discussion.
 This list excludes cases like the purified Metzora who brings an Olah, Sin, and Asham offerings; the Nazir who successfully completes his term, who offers Olah, Sin, and Shelamim sacrifices; and Israel's Miluim sacrifice . The Sin sacrifice listed as part of the mussaf offerings in Numbers 28-29 is presented separately from the rest of the package.

The root קדש appears nearly 150 times throughout the book of Vayikra. Kedusha is a concept both basic to Judaism and paradoxically (or correspondingly) difficult to pin down in terms of meaning and connotations but the shifts in its usage throughout the book may shed some light on its characteristics (For convenience, I will translate קדוש as 'holy'; חול/חילל will be rendered 'non-holy' because I don't really care for any other translation).
In the first section of Vayikra, the term holy is used only for korbanot and other sanctuary-adjacent objects. Things are made holy by touching a sacrifice. Later, the mishkan and its vessels are made holy by being anointed with oil and/or blood, as are Aharon and his sons and their clothing. Holiness belongs to ritual places and objects; only kohanim are holy, in some sense as ritual objects and without relation to their behavior. This usage continues throughout the book and accounts for the bulk of the mentions.
הוּא אֲשֶׁר-דִּבֶּר יְהוָה לֵאמֹר בִּקְרֹבַי אֶקָּדֵשׁ, וְעַל-פְּנֵי כָל-הָעָם, אֶכָּבֵד.
יַיִן וְשֵׁכָר אַל-תֵּשְׁתְּ אַתָּה וּבָנֶיךָ אִתָּךְ, בְּבֹאֲכֶם אֶל-אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד–וְלֹא תָמֻתוּ: חֻקַּת עוֹלָם, לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶם. וּלְהַבְדִּיל, בֵּין הַקֹּדֶשׁ וּבֵין הַחֹל, וּבֵין הַטָּמֵא, וּבֵין הַטָּהוֹר. וּלְהוֹרֹת, אֶת-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל–אֵת, כָּל-הַחֻקִּים, אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֲלֵיהֶם, בְּיַד-מֹשֶׁה.
Here a new term is introduced as an antonym to holy, and an obligation is created to divide between holy and nonholy.
כִּי אֲנִי יְהוָה, אֱלֹהֵיכֶם, וְהִתְקַדִּשְׁתֶּם וִהְיִיתֶם קְדֹשִׁים, כִּי קָדוֹשׁ אָנִי; וְלֹא תְטַמְּאוּ אֶת-נַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶם, בְּכָל-הַשֶּׁרֶץ הָרֹמֵשׂ עַל-הָאָרֶץ. כִּי אֲנִי יְהוָה, הַמַּעֲלֶה אֶתְכֶם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם, לִהְיֹת לָכֶם, לֵאלֹהִים; וִהְיִיתֶם קְדֹשִׁים, כִּי קָדוֹשׁ אָנִי. זֹאת תּוֹרַת הַבְּהֵמָה, וְהָעוֹף, וְכֹל נֶפֶשׁ הַחַיָּה, הָרֹמֶשֶׂת בַּמָּיִם; וּלְכָל-נֶפֶשׁ, הַשֹּׁרֶצֶת עַל-הָאָרֶץ. לְהַבְדִּיל, בֵּין הַטָּמֵא וּבֵין הַטָּהֹר; וּבֵין הַחַיָּה, הַנֶּאֱכֶלֶת, וּבֵין הַחַיָּה, אֲשֶׁר לֹא תֵאָכֵל.
Holiness is now a category relevant to the entire nation – they can be holy and they can endow themselves with holiness, not as ritual objects but by virtue of their observing the laws of impure, which are now applied in a non-mishkan context. This holiness parallels God's holiness. The obligation to be holy is presented as a syllogism: God is holy, God is our Lord, thus we must be holy. And this holiness is achieved, here, by avoiding that which is impure.
דַּבֵּר אֶל-כָּל-עֲדַת בְּנֵי-יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵהֶם–קְדֹשִׁים תִּהְיוּ: כִּי קָדוֹשׁ, אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם.
Throughout the subsequent few perakim, various laws are directly related to holiness endowing things as holy and in contrast endowing things as non-holy. Eating a sacrifice not in accordance with the proper laws endows a holy thing with non-holiness. Swearing in God's name falsely endows the name with non-holiness. Making your daughter a harlot endows her with non-holiness. Giving a child to Molech endows God's holy name with non-holiness. Kohanim must be holy and not endow God's name with non-holiness, including by making a bald spot, sacrificing if they have a blemish or marrying the wrong sort of women (which would also endow their children with non-holiness). A kohen's daughter committing harlotry endows her father with non-holiness. A Kohen Gadol leaving the mishkan to mourn would endow the holy place with non-holiness. Later another category of holiness is added – holiness of time – in perek 23 regarding holidays and in perek 25, the jubilee year.
The differing uses of holiness reflect a spectrum within the term itself: in the early verses, holiness is a concept reserved for ritual and ritual objects (including kohanim). It seems to be more or less inherent – it can be conveyed by contact with other ritual items but other than that neither created nor destroyed. But what is equally striking is that it has no particular relationship to God or God's traits – it is a thing unto itself.
This usage continues throughout the book but something new is introduced following the completion of the dedication of the mishkan as a whole or specifically the death of Nadav and Avihu. Holiness is reframed as an aspect of God and of the relationship with God, relating to a wide variety of ritual and less ritual commandments. Holiness is something that we are by default and by virtue of our connection to God, but it is also something that we can endow as well as diminish, not just in objects but also in oneself, in others, in times, in God and in God's name.
At the crux of this shift is Moshe's cryptic statement that God is made holy through those close to God and honored before the entire nation and God's subsequent command to the kohanim to separate between holy and profane and to teach the laws to the people.
Both statements reflect some shift in scope from a narrow circle to a wider circle beyond the mishkan walls. But there seems to be a subtle difference between them: Moshe still frames holiness as reserved to a narrow group. This is also reflected in his command that Aharon and his remaining sons continue their service, while the rest of the nation mourns: the kohanim's primary job is to remain ritual objects, distinct from the people. In contrast, God's statement (interestingly delivered directly to Aharon, circumventing Moshe) assigns kohanim a more outward-facing role: the kohanim must separate between holy and non-holy and between pure and impure – and they must teach this to the people. A few verses later, the job of being holy via separating between pure and impure belongs to the people as a whole. Holiness is not only a ritual status, but also a character trait and an obligation, spreading outward from the ritual sphere to the entire nation and to all aspects of service.

A: The stacktrace suggests that your application can not resolve actuator's /info endpoint.  I see you are using spring-boot-2.5.13.  Starting in spring boot 2.5.0, in order to expose actuator's /info endpoint, you need to enable it through your application properties by adding the equivalent of management.endpoints.web.exposure.include: 'info'
Here is the acutator section of the official spring boot documentation for 2.5.13.

The expansive field of symmetrically twisted metal, clean, exposed and ever-waiting. Their apertures are silent, the lines that feed them static without flow. It's an industrial beauty. It's engineering that provides for humanity. But what does it provide?
It's high time we faced this gross waste of space and the resources that go into building it….The four burner stove tops.
WHY DO WE HAVE ALL THESE BURNERS?
How many people use their stove even a couple times a week?… and that's to warm up stuff in the oven.
I cook, almost every day, more than most people, I imagine. And even I don't use all my burners. I use two at the most, and that's on rare occasion.
We are losing valuable counter space by giving it to this stove top of industrial art.
And we're wasting resources making the burners, and making stoves with ovens the size of airplane hangers. What do we do with these mammoth atriums of heat? Bake Thanksgiving or Christmas meals a few times a year?
Let's face the fact: We have a stove problem. It's part of the technology surplus. It's just a pretty thing to have. Just in case.
Like that third row in the SUV.
What do you want out of all this?
These questions immediately redirect me from my wandering. They bring me back to my heart.
The heart is as powerful as the mind and all the mind's worries and fears. The heart keeps me happy even when everything around me is anxious, dissatisfied, and sad. The heart gives me energy no matter what negativity is being broadcast upon me.
The heart is where gratitude comes from. And gratitude fuels action like nothing else, because although fear can motivate, it is exhausting. But the heart is where you can be satisfied.
The way is in your heart.

Actors responsible for ensuring the rights of children must be determined to implement meaningful child-centred policies, further good governance, enhance investments and allocate the necessary resources for the advancement of children's rights
Three decades ago, the world was in the midst of great change. With the fall of the Berlin Wall, decline of apartheid and the birth of the World Wide Web, governments around the world were in confusion about the direction to take. Against this backdrop of change, leaders of the world came together to ensure the world's children their right to a future.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), held in 1990, was an important milestone in ensuring their right to protection, survival, development and participation.
Nepal ratified the CRC in 1990, which was followed by the enactment of the Children's Act in 1992. Subsequently, a 10-year plan of action for child development was developed, the first of its kind in Nepal. The Act also provisioned for the formation of a separate statutory committee to work for the rights of children.
As such, the commitments made at the international level obligated the country to implement the principles and provisions of these instruments as well as enforce, amend and reform legislation and policy context concerning child rights and protection.
In the past 30 years, Nepal has made tremendous progress in improving the situation of children and realisation of their rights. Nepal has ratified most of the international and regional human rights apparatuses concerning children.
With the promulgation of the Constitution of Nepal 2015, the country has been politically delineated into 753 local level governments in 77 districts under seven provinces. The local governments have made significant progress in adopting the pillars of CRC. The country is motivating all related actors to invest for realising the concept of leaving no one behind. In the last 30 years, Nepal has made substantial progress in ensuring equal access to education, with gender parity in primary and secondary level school enrolment. The vision of "Prosperous Nepal, Happy Nepali" targets ensuring child rights and child-friendly governance. A vital registration like birth registration was recognised as a legal right only after the 1992 Children's Act was put in place. Today birth registration has reached 56 per cent.
Against this background, the recently enforced Children's Act, 2018 has added a milestone in ensuring the rights of children in federalism. The Act, in line with the principles and provisions of the CRC, establishes the right of children to dignity, name, citizenship and identity, non-discrimination, maintaining contact with parents and families, protection from all sorts of harm, participation, expression of opinions, obtaining information and right to association, right to privacy and confidentiality, special rights of children with disabilities, right to nutrition and health, sports, leisure and cultural rights, and right to education.
Similarly, various sectoral policies have been implemented, including the National Strategy to end Child Marriage, 2015 (with the goal to end it by 2030) and National Master Plan on Elimination of Child Labour, 2018 (by 2025). These are under implementation and targets to eliminate all sorts of violence against children through a rights-based approach. But there are still some challenges in realising the CRC.
Some 35.8% of children under 5 years suffer from stunting, about 1.6 million children are engaged in child labour, 44% of children still have not obtained their birth certificate, and Nepal still has one of the highest child marriage cases in the world. Children with disabilities, those coming from a minority background or living in disadvantaged and vulnerable situations require even more attention. These and other development agenda demand multi-stakeholders' support, led by the government, with the development partners, communities, children themselves, local and international NGOs and faith leaders chipping in.
Changing context, changing ways of bringing up children, changing climate, urbanisation, globalisation, pollution, conflicts, modern gadgets, migration, remittance – these changes that children face today in 2019 were unimaginable to the children of the 1980s. Children's increasing access to information about the world is also threatening their safety. The trends and nature of violence against children are also changing. In this changed context, childhood is changing, and to bring solutions to such problems, the government and organisations investing in children must also change their interventions. The engagement of children and bringing children's voices in decision-making are an immediate need to live up to the commitments under the SDGs in Nepal.
In the real world, children are a majority in statistics but minority in social status. Society and NGOs have a role in implementing the rights of children. The promulgation of the constitution and children-specific policies to ensure a legal framework alone will not be sufficient in the changed context today.
Actors responsible for ensuring the rights of children must be determined to implement meaningful child-centred policies, further good governance, enhance investments and allocate the necessary resources for the advancement of children's rights. For this purpose, multi-stakeholder partnerships, including with the civil society, must be built.
