Take a look at this list, the new entries and cast your votes and opinions!
As always, we here at Notinhalloffame.com thank you for your time and your support.
We have updated our WWE List!
Another Hall of Fame Class equals for us another Hall of Fame revision.
Approximately seven weeks ago, the WWE Hall of Fame inducted the Class of 2017, which took many off of our list. This included:
Kurt Angle (Ranked #6)
Toots Mondt (Ranked #17)
"Ravishing" Rick Rude (Ranked #20)
Haystacks Calhoun (Ranked #32)
The Rock and Roll Express (Ranked #41)
Diamond Dallas Page (Ranked #47)
Rikidozan (#68)
Dr. Jerry Graham (#80)
Teddy Long (#134)
June Byers (#199)
Beth Phoenix (#240)
With the removal of these wrestlers, we have moved one wrestler from the future candidates section (The Big Show), and have added more additional performers who we may have forgotten before. Rankings have changed based on your votes and comments and continuing career analysis.
Let's get right to it, shall we?
While it is a controversial choice for some of you, we just can't move the owner of the WWE, Vince McMahon out of the top spot. Love him or hate him, most of you who started watching professional wrestling did so because of the marketing brilliance of McMahon.
The Undertaker returns at #2. With his recent retirement at Wrestlemania it is widely speculated that he will be inducted next year. Frankly, we are hoping that is the case.
The Rock also returns at the same position, #3. Like the Undertaker, when the Rock gets in, he will without question be the headliner.
Triple H returns at #4. While the resume of Triple H is certainly Hall of Fame worthy, though with him being a high ranking executive, it is actually a lot harder to induct him. Maybe this is "Vince 2.0", and he will be on this list for years to come.
The late Ivan Koloff moved up two spots from #7 to #5. There was talk about inducting him two years ago, but now any induction for the former WWWF World Heavyweight Champion would be posthumous.
Chris Jericho had a huge jump from #8 to #6. While he is coming off of one of his most entertaining years in the ring, Y2J is 46 years old and older than the mandatory age of 45, which we placed to move Futures to the main list, even if they are active competitors.
Bruiser Brody took a bit of a tumble as he dropped from #5 to #7.
Dave Batista, whose Hollywood run tells us he won't be returning to the WWE anytime soon climbed one spot to #8.
Recently retired Daniel Bryan went up one spot to #10. Bryan currently serves as the Smackdown General Manager.
Rounding out the top ten is The Big Show, our lone transfer from the Future Candidates Section to our main list. While Show is in the best shape of his career, he will be 46 in February and is clearly on a reduced schedule. He has been hinting retirement for years.
Here are the other new entries:
Seiji Sakaguchi at #153.
Alfonso Dantes at #186.
The Von Brauners at #197.
Jun Akiyama at #216.
Angelo Poffo at #292.
The Missouri Mauler at #314.
Bill DeMott at #338.
Dan Severn at #343.
Justin Credible at #353.
Pak Song at #355.
Stevie Richards at #359.
Duke Keomuka at #361.
Earl Hebner at #363.
Judy Martin at #367.
Ray Mendoza at #369.
Balls Mahoney at #370.
Hayabusa at #372.
Perro Aguayo Jr. at #373.
Al Madril at #374.
Bill Alfonso at #375.
Tony Anthony at #376.
Jamie Noble at #377.
The Disco Inferno at #378.
Velvet McIntyre at #379.
Sweet Daddy Siki at #380.
We have also increased our list from 365 to 380, and will likely add 20 more by the year's end to bring it to an even 400.
You know what we want you to do!

Our WWE List has been updated
First off, our apologies as this took longer than anticipated, but we are finally ready to unveil our new WWE list of those to consider for their Hall of Fame. With the exception of our Rock and Roll list, the 375 wrestling performers we have ranked are the largest that we have here at Notinhalloffame.com.
While the 2018 WWE Hall of Fame saw twelve of our ranked wrestlers (28. Bill Goldberg, 36. Stan Stasiak, 40. El Santo, 43. Jim Londos, 45. Jeff Jarrett, 65. Mark Henry, 84. Lord Alfred Hayes, 104. Hillbilly Jim, 180. Ivory, 182. Sputinik Monroe, 188. Hiro Matsuda and 191. Boris Malenko) selected however nobody from our top 25 was chosen. As such there is not much of a difference between last year's list and this one.
Still, we always adapt and we have made some changes that we are excited to tell you about!
Here is the new top ten:
1. Vince McMahon. Love him or hate him, he is the WWE and the reason why many of us watch professional wrestling. McMahon was ranked #1 last year and will likely hold this spot until he is
dead. Triple H said that the only reason he isn't in is because Vince wouldn't let him! Literally this is the case of "over his dead body".
2. The Undertaker. Speaking of the dead, The Undertaker returns at #2. The "Deadman" is certainly on the last leg of his career though we don't know how many matches he has left in him. This
is only a matter of time as he will likely go in as soon as the WWE feels that he is finished.
The Rock. From one of the most popular professional wrestlers to one of the most successful movie stars, Dwayne Johnson likely has a standing invitation for the WWE Hall of Fame. The only question is if he can fit it into his busy schedule!
Triple H. Because of his position as COO, it would be hard for it not to be considered shady if he gets into the Hall of Fame, but his body of work in the ring is worthy and just on his work in the re-creation of NXT alone he has won over many of his harsh critics. We think he is likely to take the Vince McMahon approach in that he won't let himself get inducted…at least for now.
Ivan Koloff. Born in Quebec but representing the Soviet Union, Ivan Koloff wrestled for decades and was the man who ended Bruno Sammartino's eight year run as the WWWF World Heavyweight Champion. Koloff wrestled everywhere in the U.S. and Canada and was a bona fide headliner everywhere. Sadly any induction for him now would be posthumous, as he died a couple of years ago.
Chris Jericho. Jericho may be very much active (he just recently won the IWGP Intercontinental Title) but we have a rule on our Notinhalloffame.com wrestling list that once you reach the age of 46 you automatically move from the futures to the main list. Jericho likely still has many more small runs in him in the WWE but will be a main event inductee when he is ready.
Bruiser Brody. Brody famously died when he was stabbed by a fellow wrestler in Puerto Rico, which ended the career of the best brawler in professional wrestling history. Brody was a true rebel of the industry and while he was not associated with the WWE his legend fits in that institution.
Kane. Notably the above seven have the same ranking as last year. Kane however has moved up from #11 to #8. Like Jericho, Kane is still somewhat active in the WWE, though the man named Glenn Jacobs is focusing more on his political career. Like Chris Jericho, Kane's age places him on our main list as opposed to the Futures.
Batista. Batista dropped one spot from #8. While his last run was not a career highlight the former multi-time WWE Champion has been vocal about wanting one more run followed by an official retirement. Hopefully he succeeds in obtaining that wish.
Owen Hart. Hart moved up from #12 but as long as there is Martha Hart the odds of Owen making the WWE Hall of Fame seems slim. Owen remains one of the locks that the WWE is afraid to pull the trigger on. Honestly, who can blame them?
While there were no additions in our top 100 there are certainly new names on our Notinhalloffame.com WWE list.
The highest new entry is R-Truth, who based on our mandatory age limit (discussed above with Chris Jericho) is now on our main list. Truth debuts at #189.
As always we here at Notinhalloffame.com continue to look at others who we may have missed. As such we have some new entries on our now Notinhallofame.com WWE 375.
Former AWA World Heavyweight Champion, The Mighty Igor debuts at #244. Former regional faux Japanese headliner Kenji Shibuya makes his first appearance at #271. Former Cleveland legend Johnny Powers debuts at #313. The final three entries, which are new are Count Billy Varga #373, Neff Maivia #374 and Akira Taue at #375.
Notably Daniel Bryan who was ranked #9 has been put back into our futures.
You know what we want you do to!
Take a look at our new list and cast your votes and offer us your opinions.
As always, we here at Notinhalloffame.com thanks you for all of your support!

5. Chris Jericho
We firmly believe that one of the most well rounded characters in the history of professional wrestling has to be Chris Jericho.

The forewing upperside has postmedian lines which are more longitudinal than in Eupanacra sinuata and run parallel to the outer margin. The first postmedian line is closer to the base on the inner margin. There is a distinct double submarginal line present parallel to the outer margin. The forewing underside is similar to Eupanacra metallica, but the postmedian line is more oblique and abbreviated. There is a pair of more distinct submarginal lines present, the space between them is whitish. The hindwing upperside has a pale median band which is slightly wider than in Eupanacra sinuata, nearly reaching the costa but obscured by brown scaling anteriorly. The third postmedian line on the hindwing underside is as heavy or heavier than the first and accentuated by vein dots.

A pet is a household animal kept for companionship and a person's enjoyment, as opposed to wild animals or to livestock, laboratory animals, working animals or sport animals, which are kept for economic or productive reasons. The most popular pets are noted for their loyal or playful characteristics, for their attractive appearance, or for their song. Pets also generally seem to provide their owners with non-trivial health benefits; keeping pets has been shown to help relieve stress to those who like having animals around. There is now a medically-approved class of "therapy animals," mostly dogs, that are brought to visit confined humans. Walking a dog can provide both the owner and the dog with exercise, fresh air, and social interaction. The most popular pets are dogs and cats, but there are also rodent pets, such as gerbils, hamsters, chinchillas, fancy rats, and guinea pigs, and avian pets, such as canaries, parakeets, or parrots.

Ex-president Martinelli moves to muzzle media coverage
Former President Ricardo Martinelli owner of his own media conglomerate and facing along with his son multiple criminal investigations has requested "protection and restraining measures" to prevent various media from reporting on him, his family members, and judicial proceedings.
He filed a complaint Saturday night, September 5, at the Metropolitan Prosecutor's Office against Mauricio Valenzuela, of the digital site Foco Panamá, for the alleged commission of crimes against the right to privacy, against freedom, and against economic assets, to the detriment of the former president.
"I request protection and removal measures, and that neither I nor my family can be referred to on social networks such as TVN, La Prensa, Mi Diario and Radio Panamá, which although they are not owned by him, he uses as if they were his, and that he is not near my house or my office and less of me, "says Martinelli in his testimony before the prosecution.
The deputy prosecutor Estelabel Batista Franco considered it appropriate to "adopt without delay" the request of the complainant and sent a letter to the National Police of the San Francisco area to provide "special protection" to Martinelli, who as former president already has bodyguards from the Institutional Protection Service (SPI).
Valenzuela accuses the agents and Martinelli of having attacked him when he was filming them leaving a La Morena restaurant, in Vista Hermosa, late in the afternoon on Saturday, September 5.
It is not the first time that the Martinelli family has tried to hinder the work of the media reports La Prensa.
The former first lady of the Republic Marta Linares de Martinelli filed a lawsuit for family protection against La Prensa. On June 22, which was rejected by Judge Alba Flores Musmanno.
This claim was based on publications of La Prensa, in which part of the criminal investigations carried out by the authorities of the Public Ministry regarding the alleged relationship of the brothers Ricardo Alberto and Luis Enrique Martinelli Linares - with the payment of bribes by the Brazilian construction company Odebrecht.
The brothers have been detained in Guatemala since last July 6, waiting to be extradited to the United States, which accuses them in a New York federal court. of money laundering and conspiracy to launder money,

Fiscal otorga medida de protección especial a Martinelli por seis meses
Eliana Morales Gil
07 sep 2020 - 12:00 AM
El expresidente Ricardo Martinelli en la Sección de Atención Primaria de la Fiscalía Metropolitana, el pasado sábado. Miguel Cavalli
La fiscal adjunta Estelabel Batista Franco, de la Fiscalía Metropolitana de Atención Primaria, concedió una medida de protección especial por seis meses a Ricardo Martinelli. El expresidente de la República acudió a ese despacho durante la noche del pasado sábado 5 de diciembre, luego de enfrentarse con el comunicador Mauricio Valenzuela, del sitio digital Foco Panamá. Martinelli denunció a Valenzuela, por la supuesta comisión de los delitos contra el derecho a la intimidad, contra la libertad y contra el patrimonio económico, en perjuicio del exmandatario.
Ese día, Valenzuela confrontó a Martinelli por acudir al restaurante La Morena, en Vista Hermosa, a pesar de que los restaurantes tienen prohibido atender clientes en sus instalaciones por la cuarentena. De acuerdo al comunicador, los miembros del Servicio de Protección Institucional (SPI) que escoltaban al exgobernante, lo agredieron cuando los filmaba al salir del establecimiento.
Martinelli, quien en julio pasado presentó una incapacidad médica ante el Ministerio Público para evitar declarar en el caso Odebrecht que precisamente se venció ayer 6 de septiembre, también le solicitó a la fiscal que Valenzuela no pueda referirse a él ni a su familia en las redes sociales, al igual que en TVN, La Prensa, Mi Diario y Radio Panamá, argumentando "que si bien no son propiedad de él, este las utiliza como si fueran de él", se lee textualmente en el documento que Martinelli publicó en sus redes sociales.
Sin embargo, la fiscal no acogió esta última solicitud, según explicó ayer personal del Ministerio Público (MP). Batista Franco sí ordenó comunicar a la Policía Nacional para darle cumplimiento a la medida de "protección especial" al exgobernante. Esto, a pesar de que en calidad de expresidente de la República, Martinelli tiene escoltas del SPI.
En el MP también informaron que "ya eso está aplicado porque el expresidente cuenta con escoltas".
Pese a que la fiscal no acogió la exigencia de Martinelli de impedirle a Valenzuela referirse a él en varios medios de comunicación, el mecanismo ya había sido usado por la familia Martinelli en otra ocasión. En 2018, Marta Linares de Martinelli, esposa del expresidente presentó una demanda de protección familiar en contra de La Prensa. Esto, luego de que este medio publicara sobre investigaciones llevadas a cabo por el MP respecto a la presunta relación de sus hijos Ricardo Alberto y Luis Enrique Martinelli Linares, con el pago de sobornos en el país por parte de Odebrecht. Sin embargo, el 22 de junio pasado, la juez Segunda Seccional de Familia del Primer Distrito Judicial, Alba Flores Musmanno, rechazó la demanda.
Los hermanos Martinelli están detenidos en Guatemala mientras se completa su proceso de extradición a Estados Unidos, país que los acusa de supuesto blanqueo de capitales y conspiración para lavar dinero.

Prosecutor grants special protection measure to Martinelli for six months
<<LEJIVN7BEZBHNNOOPJ35LMWZ74.jpg>>
Former President Ricardo Martinelli in the Primary Care Section of the Metropolitan Prosecutor's Office, last Saturday. Miguel Cavalli
The deputy prosecutor Estelabel Batista Franco, from the Metropolitan Primary Care Prosecutor's Office, granted a special protection measure for six months to Ricardo Martinelli. The former president of the Republic went to that office during the night of Saturday, December 5, after confronting the communicator Mauricio Valenzuela, of the digital site Foco Panamá. Martinelli denounced Valenzuela, for the alleged commission of crimes against the right to privacy, against freedom and against economic assets, to the detriment of the former president.
That day, Valenzuela confronted Martinelli for going to La Morena restaurant, in Vista Hermosa, despite the fact that restaurants are prohibited from serving customers in their facilities due to the quarantine. According to the communicator, the members of the Institutional Protection Service (SPI) who were escorting the former governor, attacked him when he was filming them when leaving the establishment.
Martinelli, who last July presented a medical incapacity to the Public Ministry to avoid declaring in the Odebrecht case that it was precisely expired yesterday, September 6, also asked the prosecutor that Valenzuela could not refer to him or his family on the networks social networks, as in TVN, La Prensa, Mi Diario and Radio Panamá, arguing "that although they are not his property, he uses them as if they were his", it is read verbatim in the document that Martinelli published on his networks social.
However, the prosecutor did not accept this last request, as explained yesterday by the Public Ministry (MP). Batista Franco did order to notify the National Police to comply with the measure of "special protection" for the former ruler. This, despite the fact that as former president of the Republic, Martinelli has bodyguards from the SPI.
The MP also reported that "this is already applied because the former president has bodyguards."
Despite the fact that the prosecutor did not accept Martinelli's demand to prevent Valenzuela from referring to him in various media, the mechanism had already been used by the Martinelli family on another occasion. In 2018, Marta Linares de Martinelli, wife of the former president, filed a lawsuit for family protection against La Prensa. This, after this media published about investigations carried out by the MP regarding the alleged relationship of her sons Ricardo Alberto and Luis Enrique Martinelli Linares, with the payment of bribes in the country by Odebrecht. However, on June 22, the Second Family Sectional Judge of the First Judicial District, Alba Flores Musmanno, rejected the claim.
The Martinelli brothers are detained in Guatemala while their extradition process to the United States is being completed, a country that accuses them of alleged money laundering and conspiracy to launder money.

"Incapacitated" Martinelli sounds off on corruption probe
Former President Ricardo Martinelli has twice presented medical certificates -one for 60 days- to avoid questioning by prosecutors investigating the Odebrecht bribery scandal while he was in office and on a third-occasion accepted Article 25 of the Constitution, which exempts him from testifying against himself.
While hiding behind his incapacities he has been active in presenting denunciations against others pursuing the formation of a new political party, meeting with supporters and lawyers, and visiting the Electoral Tribunal. where on Thursday he took time to rail against prosecutors and told waiting for journalists he has asked the Public Ministry to summon "all the people" linked to the Odebrechtbribery file, "so that Panamanians know the whole truth." Martinelli has also challenged the prosecutor and Tania Sterling claimed that she cannot investigate because - according to him - it is prevented by the principle of specialty contemplated in the extradition treaty agreed between Panama and the United States. (The US State Department and the US Embassy in Panama have said that the specialty principle no longer applies to Martinelli.)
The former president has also filed two criminal complaints against Sterling claiming $10 million in damages; a complaint to the Attorney General Eduardo Ulloa, and a warning of unconstitutionality against her actions.
Martinelli also insists that his sons Ricardo Alberto and Luis Enrique Martinelli Linares were coming to Panama "to cooperate with the justice system" when they were arrested at the La Aurora airport in Guatemala, at the request of the United States, to face charges of alleged money laundering.
"My children came without any impediment to come to Panama, to cooperate with justice in a case invented, fabricated, by [forme attorney General] Kenia Porcell, and [ex-president] Juan Carlos Varela,
The Martinelli Linares brothers have remained outside of Panama for at least the last five years, and before their arrest, ignored summonses to be investigated in the Odebrecht and Blue Apple cases.
Martinelli said s that the extradition process of his children "has not even begun", although the United States has already formalized its extradition requests and the reasons that support them. Meanwhile, they remain in a military prison.
According to the FBI would have participated as "intermediaries" in the receipt and payment of bribes for $28 million from Odebrecht.
The payments - as stated in the sealed indictment that is in a New York court - would have benefited a Panamanian official who was a close relative, with a very high position in the government of Panama" between 2009 and 2014 when Martinell ruled/,
Although they have never answered the questions of the prosecution, Martinelli insists: "we want to get to the bottom ... to know what happened."
"I urge the prosecutors and the Office of the Attorney General to end this case, and put all the people, especially the Panamanistas, who have not come to testify, there are even other Democratic Change who have not come to testify and must include them so that Panamanians let us know the whole truth and not just a part of the truth, which was the one manufactured by Kenia Porcell and Juan Carlos Varela ", he said
Varela (2014-2019) attended the investigation of the Odebrecht case, in July.

Martinelli criminal case stymied by defense moves
prosecutor Emeldo Márquez
The Special Prosecutor's Office against Organized Crime, headed by prosecutor Emeldo Márquez, has his hands tied in the "New Business" case centered around ex-president Ricardo Martinelli
This is due to the fact that Márquez was challenged by the defense of the former president, invoking, among other things, the principle of specialty established in the 1904 extradition treaty, concluded between Panama and the United States reports La Prensa.
However, this appeal has not yet been resolved by the Third Criminal Settlement Court, headed by Baloisa Marquínez.
Ronier Ortiz, Martinelli's lawyer, said that the legal action was filed "several weeks ago," and he has no news about its status in court.
According to the Public Ministry, the prosecution has until the end of October to continue gathering evidence in the case in which some 40 people are charged with alleged money laundering in transactions with supposed public money for the acquisition of Grupo Editoral Panamá América SA.
According to the prosecution, the New Business company served as a 'basket' to accumulate at least $43.9 million, which was used to acquire the publisher in 2010, when Martinelli was president.
Prosecutor Márquez has already made his position known regarding the principle of specialty. It stated, among other things, that the Public Ministry has a constitutional and legal obligation to prosecute crimes, for which it must carry out summary proceedings that are relevant and useful to prove the existence of the punishable act.
Several of the money transfers were made from foreign jurisdictions. He also highlighted that the file "handles a large number of linked persons."
Martinelli was charged with the alleged commission of the crime of money laundering and has the precautionary measure preventing him from leaving the country, and the duty to notify himself every 15 days. But he has not testified in the case. On July 2, the day on which he had to answer to the prosecutor, he used article 25 of the Constitution and brought out the principle of specialty. Then he presented disabilities and recused the prosecutor.

Martinelli faces $96 million laundering and corruption complaint
Ricardo Marinelli
The Baltasar Garzón Foundation (Fibgar) has presented, in the National Court of Spain, a complaint against former president Ricardo Martinelli (2009-2014), for alleged money laundering and corruption in international economic transactions, reports the Europa Press news agency.
Fibgar also requests to adhere to the existing accusations in which the multinational Fomento de Construcciones y Constratas (FCC) and some workers and former directors of its subsidiaries FCC Construcción Centroamérica and Construcciones Hospitalarias are being investigated the latter the contractor of the City of Health, in Ancón. According to Europa Press , there are 14 defendants
The indictment indicates that the person responsible for the Legal Department of FCC Co. declared before a prosecutor's office on July 3, "that the documents attached to the complaint had served as formal cover for the outflow of funds from the company to Mauricio Cort as the frontman for [Ricardo] Martinelli, former president of Panama for the payment of commissions demanded by the latter to allow FCC to operate in Panama ... "
"All of them would have participated, according to [the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office], in a consortium with the multinational Odebrecht that, according to the accusation, generated over-charges in the steel supply contracts, worth 82 million euros [$96.7 million], in the construction projects of Metro lines and the City of Health in Panama, among others, "the agency says.
While in Panama, in just one of the five projects investigated, cost overruns have been detected that exceed $40 million, not including bribes for its award.

Court rejects ex-first lady's media muzzle attempt
Former first lady Marta Linares de Martinelli failed in her attempts to censor the newspaper La Prensa and failed to get the courts to prohibit the publication of criminal investigations and images of her family, including in particular her sons Ricardo Alberto and Luis Enrique Martinelli Linares.
On September 23, the Superior Family Court issued a ruling in which it rejected the claim for family protection filed by the former first lady against La Prensa . The claim had already been denied by a lower court - the Second Sectional Family Court of the First Judicial Circuit - on June 16.
The Court's ruling confirms the decision adopted four months ago by the court, led by Judge Alba Flores Musmanno, who considered that the information in this newspaper was of public interest and had no relation to the intimate or private life of anyone.
Linares de Martinelli based her claim on publications in La Prensa that reported the progress of the criminal investigation for the bribes that the construction company Odebrecht had paid to Ricardo Alberto and Luis Enrique Martinelli Linares The two have been imprisoned in Guatemala since July 6, in response to a request from the United States, which requires them in extradition for alleged money laundering and conspiracy to launder money linked to Odebrecht.
The former first lady appealed to article 577 of the Family Code , which states that everyone has exclusive rights to their own image, which may not be publicly reproduced, in any way, without their consent. However, the same article cited by her says that "images that are disseminated for news purposes, of public or cultural interest, based on respect for human dignity are excepted from the above . "
For the Court, this aspect is decisive. "The person enjoys the protection of his image as a matter of principle, but once the State proceeds to a criminal investigation against him, it makes the rest of the associates, either individually or corporately, make judgments regarding the circumstances of the case, since they also have in their favor the right to freedom of thought and expression " , concluded justices José Agustín Delgado Pérez, Aracelli Quiñones Bruno and Nelly Cedeño de Paredes.
At one point, the former first lady alleged that her children are citizens "who have neither held nor do they exercise public functions." This approach clashes with the defense of the two brothers in Guatemala, which insists that the detention of both is illegal since they are diplomats and substitute deputies of Parlacen (although they have not been sworn in or held such positions).
In this regard, the magistrates said that "it is not a question of whether or not the person exercises public functions, but rather by the impact and occurrence of the events in society, which provokes and promotes public opinion."
"If the fact under discussion becomes news for reasons of public or cultural interest, the protection of one's image is attenuated, prevailing freedom of expression," added the Court, which cited jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Rights Humans.
This point of view was shared by the Public Ministry, which had asked the Court to confirm the judgment of Judge Flores Musmanno, considering that the Martinelli brothers maintain a public profile, "both national and international," especially because they are related to processes that must be reported to the community in general.
The magistrates sais that "trying to restrict the newspaper La Prensa under the matter of family is not legal, since it is not an affectation or damage that should remain in the most intimate of the private sphere of the interested party and it should not be the object of public knowledge… since there is a criminal process underway.
"We consider that the case facing the plaintiff is not only local but international."

Guatemala rejects Martinelli son's appeal against extradition to US
Trap closing on Martinelli brothers
The Guatemalan justice system denied appeals filed by Ricardo Alberto Martinelli Linares' lawyer, seeking to prevent him from being extradited to the United States, to face trial for conspiracy to commit crimes related to the Odebrecht scandal.
The Second Chamber of the Guatemala Court of Appeals has denied the protection of guarantees that Martinelli Linares filed against the third judge of the Guatemalan criminal sentence, in charge of handling the request for extradition received from the United States.
The lawyer filed an appeal against the ruling.
For now, it has not been possible to establish a hearing date to review the extradition request of the United States against Ricardo Alberto and his brother Luis Enrique Martinelli Linares because both have presented a series of appeals, many of which, according to the Public Ministry of Guatemala are inappropriate reports TVN
The brothers were arrested last July in Guatemala as they were boarding a private plane
In the appeal, the alleged violation of Martinelli Linares' rights was alleged and that his detention was illegal, given his status as a "diplomat" and alternate deputy of Parlacen, despite the fact that he was never sworn in and has never held that position.

The Martinelli dance halted
The decision to call former President Ricardo Martinelli to a new trial in the case of the "punctures" - including a new court - is a hopeful light, thanks to a ruling issued yesterday by the Superior Court of Appeals. The magistrates have bravely faced the judicial outburst of first instance, in order to correct the obvious errors of some judges who, far from doing justice, what they did was an act of complacency, in the least of the cases. One only has to remember all the evidence and key witnesses of the accusers who were rejected by judges Roberto Tejeira, Arlene Caballero and Raúl Vergara, authors of that questioned ruling that declared the accused not guilty. And this time, we hope that the trial is not the shameful spectacle that was staged before and after the process was transferred to ordinary justice. Part of that circus included - as we all know - the defendant's peripatetic visits to the emergency rooms, medical certificates and all those maneuvers that impeded the flow of the process. The whole country is witness to the remarkable good health of the great dancer that Mr. Ricardo Martinelli has proven to be. .LA PRENSA, NOV.21

Ex-president Martnelli for retrial
The Superior Court of Appeals of the First Judicial District has annulled, the "not guilty " ruling handed down to former president Ricardo Martinelli accused of illegal interception of communications in the second and third year of his mandate.
Two of the magistrates, Donaji Arosemena and Yiles Pittí, accepted an appeal for annulment promoted by the Public Ministry, in which a new trial for Martinelli was requested. The other magistrate, Diego Fernández, saved his vote.
Now a new trial will be required, with new judges, to establish responsibilities for the alleged commission of two crimes: the inviolability of secrecy (interception of communications without judicial authorization) and violation of the right to privacy (illegal monitoring and prosecution).
The reading of the sentence took place after 5:00 pm this Friday, two hours after starting the virtual hearing, held at the offices of the First Judicial District of Panama, located in Plaza Ágora.
It is unknown when the new trial will take place, except that the three judges from the previous process will not act there.

Prosecution will request precautionary measure for Martinelli
After the ruling of the Superior Court of Appeals that annulled the sentence that declared former president Ricardo Martinelli not guilty of illegal wiretapping lawyers for the complainant victims will ask to apply precautionary measures to the former president, to guarantee his appearance at the new trial.
David Cuevas, the lawyer for Rosendo Rivera, Rubén Polanco, and Juan Carlos Navarro, said that after the ruling made known last Friday, the plaintiffs in this process have reached a consensus to request a precautionary measure against Martinelli, to prevent him from evading the new trial
Lawyer Carlos Herrera, Mauro Zúñiga's lawyer, also agreed on the need to request a hearing to apply a precautionary measure to Martinelli.
Meanwhile, Ricaurte González, who acted as prosecutor, said he was satisfied with the decision taken by the Superior Court of Appeals. was also in favor of discussing whether a precautionary measure is possible for the accused.
Martinelli was detained in preventive custody for a year in El Renacer, until June 12, 2019. He was then imposed house arrest, lifted on August 9, 2019.
Before that, he spent a year in prison in Miami, awaiting extradition.
The cause invoked by the Court of Appeals of to annul the decision to declare former President Ricardo Martinelli "not guilty" is supported by the third point of article 172, of the Criminal Procedure Code: in the pronouncement of the sentence of the August 9, an "erroneous application of the law" was made, which substantially influenced the ruling.
Although Ronniel Ortiz, from Martinelli's legal team, indicated that they will use all available legal resources, other lawyers consider that there is no room for appeals against the decision of the Court of Appeals, and what follows now is to set the date of the new trial.
Former judge Raúl Olmos believes that the most that the defense could aspire to appease the court's decision is to request a clarification of the sentence or present constitutional guarantee protection before the Supreme Court, alleging the violation of any right.
But first, the Judicial Office of the Accusatory Criminal System (SPA) is required to notify the parties and set a date for the new trial.
However, the SPA has already shown few signs of speed in this regard. In the list of hearings, dates have been set up to 2022, even 2024. This fact, according to Olmos, indicates that there would be no short-term date.
It is for this reason that Carlos Herrera Morán, the lawyer for Mauro Zúñiga, one of the victims of the punctures, argued that the Judicial Organ must take the necessary precautions to prevent delays that lead to impunity in such an important case. Up to 150 people were affected by the interceptions carried out by the National Security Council (CSN), in the last two years of the Martinelli government.
Herrera Morán described the ruling of the Superior Court of Appeals as historic since it showed that judges Roberto Tejeira, Arlene Caballero and Raúl Vergara made a poor assessment of the evidence endorsed by Jerónimo Mejía, when he served as a magistrate judge of guarantees, from 2015 to 2018.
According to Herrera Morán, the recent ruling reveals that in the administration of justice there is a group of judges who adhere to the Constitution and the law, and another "genuflexer", who moves away from independence.
Herrera Morán requested the audio allegedly with the voice of the former president, which circulates on social networks, be investigated, in which it is ensured that the Court of Appeals changed its decision hours before the order to call a new trial was made public. This will be done with three new judges who will be selected by the SPA Judicial Office, through a lottery.
The prosecutor in the Ricaurte González case assured that now everything returns to the beginning and the interrogations made in the 2019 trial must be practiced again.
González, although he is assigned to the Intellectual Property Prosecutor's Office, acts as a prosecutor for this case, which he advanced when he was in charge of the Second Prosecutor's Office against Organized Crime.
According to Ortiz, the process against the ex-president has a political origin and "as well as the manipulation of evidence during the first trial, they will do it the second time." He alleges that the protected witness was manipulated and trusts that all this will be weighed up by the new judges.

Martinelli trial set for June next year
The retrial of former President Ricardo Martinelli for the alleged crimes of telecommunications interception, monitoring, persecution and surveillance without judicial authorization has been set for June 22, 2021.
It follows a November 20, Appeals Court ruling that annulled the August 2019 sentence that declared him "not guilty."
His defense said it will go to the streets.
The Judicial Organ annouced through Mondae that the oral trial will begin on June 22, 2021 at 9:00 am, in Room 1 of the Office of the First Judicial District of Panama. It did not specify who are the three judges who will make up the trial court.
On November 20, an appeals court annulled the "not guilty" sentence handed down in favor of Martinelli and ordered a new trial with the same evidence validated by the then magistrate judge of guarantees, Jerónimo Mejía, in the intermediate stage of the process, developed in the Supreme Court.
Among the arguments given by justices Donaji Arosemena and Yiles Pittí to annul the August 2019 sentence are, that the Trial Court made up of justices Roberto Tejeira, Arlene Caballero and Raúl Vergara made several errors of assessment. For example, it did not exercise its disciplinary power by allowing the defense to interrupt witnesses and present incidents and allegations in the middle of the taking of evidence.
Alfredo Vallarino, from the team of lawyers of the former president, said on Twitter that " and that they will go to the streets.
"This time they are going to find us in the courts and on the street. Here, starting in January, we will mobilize so that Magistrates hear a clear message that is in the Constitution. No one can be tried more than once for the same cause, "he tweeted.

Martinelli faces new trial,sons await extradition
The Martinelli offspring in a Guatemala prison
On the day Panama announced the date of the re-trial of former president Ricardo Martinelli on charges of illegal interception of communications the United States Charge D'Affaires in Panama, Stewart Tuttle, appeared on Radio Panama to express the hope that Guatemala will complete the extradition of his sons Ricardo Alberto and Luis Enrique Martinelli Linares
Both are accused in a New York court for the alleged money laundering and conspiracy to launder money, as part of the bribes from Odebrecht.
There is still no date for the delivery to the United States of both Panamanians, who have been detained in Guatemala for five months. in the Mariscal Zavala military prison.
"I don't want to go to the bottom and cloud a process that is underway. But we do have an extradition treaty with Guatemala and we expect it to be fulfilled in this case, and it is important to reiterate that we take very seriously when people take advantage of our financial system to launder money, "said Tuttle.
"The stability of the dollarized economy, which greatly benefits Panama and the Panamanian people, depends on trust in the system, and money laundering basically upsets that trust. So when people try to take advantage of our financial system in that way, it should come as no surprise that they have to face the US judicial system, "added Tuttle.
The children of the former President were captured in Guatemala on July 6, when they tried to board a private plane that would bring them to Panama. Three days earlier the United States had sent the request for a provisional arrest to the Guatemalan Foreign Ministry, for extradition purposes.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, expeditiously, forwarded the request to the Public Ministry of Guatemala the same day, "the entity that is in charge of filing the indicated requirements before the Jurisdictional Body."
According to an accusation filed by the FBI -with whose agents the brothers held meetings on several occasions and in person-, Ricardo Alberto and Luis Enrique had participated as "intermediaries" in the receipt and payment of bribes for $ 28 million, "under the direction of Odebrecht.
The payments - as stated in the sealed indictment that is in a New York court, by order of a judge - would have benefited a Panamanian official, whose name has not been noted in the documents released so far. However, this official is described as "an official with a very high position in the government of Panama" between 2009 and 2014, a period that corresponds to the presidential mandate of Martinelli, and, in addition, a "close relative" of the two defendants.

Pandemic delays Martinelli sons' extradition hearings
Everything was ready for the fugitive sons of former president Ricardo Martinelli. Even a private plane was waiting to take them to Panama from La Aurora airport in Guatemala. Just at the crucial moment, the Guatemalan authorities at the request of the United States arrested, them.
A New York court wants both to answer for bribes paid over several years by the Brazilian construction company Odebrecht, through the US financial system reports La Prensa.
According to two affidavits presented to federal judge Robert M. Levy of the Eastern District of New York, the Martinelli Linares brothers are being investigated for their alleged participation in a complex scheme considered in the United States as money laundering and conspiracy to launder, by a amount of $ 28 million, "under the direction of Odebrecht."
Although the indictment is sealed by order of the judge, the assistant prosecutor Julia Nestor explained in an affidavit that the accusations against Luis Enrique were: one charge of conspiracy to carry out money laundering; two charges of concealing the proceeds of money laundering, resulting from a bribe to "a senior official of the Panamanian government," and another two charges for using funds from money laundering, derived from a bribe to the same official.
While Ricardo Alberto faces: one charge for conspiracy to launder money and two charges for concealing the proceeds of money laundering derived from a bribe to a senior official of the Panamanian government.
Although the name of that "very high" official is not released, it is specified that he is a "close relative" of the two defendants and that the events investigated occurred between 2009 and 2014, a period that corresponds to the mandate of Ricardo Martinelli. The former president has said that his children came to Panama (after years safely in Florida and California) supposedly "to cooperate with justice" and that the whole process is an "invention."
A conviction for these crimes would imply up to 50 years in prison for Luis Enrique and up to 40 years for Ricardo Alberto, as stated in her sworn statement by the prosecutor Nestor.
The arrest
The Martinelli Linares brothers were arrested on July 6, and their cases sent to different courts, Ricardo Alberto's case was referred to the Third Court of Criminal Sentencing, Drug Trafficking and Crimes against the Environment, and that of Luis Enrique, to the Fifth Court.
The Guatemalan justice system, like the Panamanian one, is hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. In Guatemala, for example, from March 13 to July 23 of this year, 79,709 hearings were suspended in the different jurisdictions, 67% correspond to the penal area. On July 10, Ricardo Alberto was taken to a hearing before the Third Court, which ended when defense attorney Denis Cuesy filed an Amparo against the members of the Court, who did not recognize the "diplomatic immunity" of his client as a deputy. substitute for the Central American Parliament (Parlacen). The First Chamber of the Court of Appeals of the Criminal Branch of Guatemala rejected attorney Cuesy's appeal on October 21, but he appealed to the Constitutional Court of Guatemala.
On July, 24 it was announced that the Fifth Court had started the extradition process to the United States of Enrique However, this process has been delayed both by the judicial resources presented by the defense and by the limitations of justice in the time of Covid-19.
Cuesy wants his clients to be recognized as Parlacen deputies, despite the fact that they have not been sworn in and have never held office.
When media versions suggested that Parlacen might be considering swearing in the two Panamanians in a special session at the Mariscal Zavala Michael Kozak, Acting Undersecretary of State for Human Affairs Western Hemisphere the United States, wrote on July 28, on his Twitter account: "Individuals within Parlacen would like to use membership as a shield to block the extradition to the United States of accused criminals. Doing so would damage the rule of law and promote impunity in the region ". The message was immediately retweeted by the US embassies in Panama and Guatemala. Later, on August 6, in statements to Radio PanamaKozak stated that "any multilateral organization should avoid using the immunity provided to its members to give retroactive immunity to someone who has been accused."
On December 22, Stewart Tuttle, charge d'affaires of the embassy in Panama, said in an interview on Radio Panama that "… we have an extradition treaty with Guatemala and we have the expectation that it will be fulfilled in this case, and it is important reiterate that we take very seriously when people take advantage of our financial system to launder money ".
Once the challenges and judicial resources on the issue of the presumed diplomatic immunity of Ricardo Alberto and Luis Enrique are cleared, then the cases would be referred back to the criminal sentencing courts where they began, so that the substantive discussion on the extradition to the United States. It would be useless to speculate on terms, since the scourges of the pandemic and the initiatives of judicial defense will dictate the speed with which this process will be defined, and that apparently, the United States government has a great interest in airing before its own Courts the fate of the children of a former Panamanian president and others, still undisclosed, who participated in one of the many dead ends of Odebrecht corruption. It is usual for the justice of Guatemala to accept the extradition permits requested by the United

Guatemala court rejects son of Martinelli appeal
The Martinelli brothers fighting extradition
The First Chamber of the Court of Appeals of Guatemala has rejected a challenge presented by, Luis Enrique Martinelli Linares son of the former president Ricardo Martinelli , against the judges who must decide his extradition to the United States.
"This court considers that the arguments of the challenger do not fit within the causes invoked since at no time is it evidence that the actions of the judges within the extradition proceedings cast doubt on their impartiality and that they have expressed an opinion on the matter" , argued the court.
Luis Enrique and his brother Ricardo Alberto Martinelli Linares were arrested on July 6 the La Aurora airport, in the Guatemalan capital, when they tried to board a private plane bound for Panama. Since then, they have been detained in the Mariscal Zavala military prison, until their eventual extradition to the United States is defined, where they face charges of money laundering and conspiracy to launder, in a New York court.
Although both brothers must respond to the same accusation (which remains sealed, by order of a judge), the extradition process of Ricardo Alberto is settled in the Third Court of Criminal Sentencing, Drug Trafficking and Crimes against the Environment, and that of Luis Enrique, in the Fifth Court.
Both have challenged the respective judges of the Third and Fifth courts. Both appeals have been denied by the appeal chambers.
Denis Cuesy, a lawyer for the Martinelli Linares, has repeatedly asked for the release of his clients, arguing that they are alternate deputies of Parlacen, although they were never sworn into office and have never served as such.

Ex-president Martinelli seeks to delay retrial
Ex-President Ricardo Martinelli (2009-2014) is now trying to reverse the ruling of November 20, 2020, that annulled the trial in which he was found not guilty in 2019. The move is considered a stalling tactic to avoid a retrial
His defense presented before the Court protection of guarantees against the ruling of the Superior Court of Appeals. Lawyers for the victims of the wiretaps believed that it was a delaying tactic to prevent the new trial on June 22.
Constitutional guarantee protection that seeks to reverse the decision of the Superior Court of Appeals of last November 20, 2020, that reversed the ruling of a trial court that declared Martinelli not guilty of alleged illegal wiretapping ('punctures') was presented before the Supreme Court..
The appeal, promoted by Carlos Carrillo, of Martinelli's team of lawyers, on December 22, seeks to nullify the ruling endorsed by magistrates Donaji Arosemena and Yiles Pittí, which annulled the favorable ruling to Martinelli of August 2019 and ordered a second trial.
The Amparo, which is in the hands of Judge Maribel Cornejo, implies that the new trial of Martinelli, set for June 22, could not take place until the Court decides it.
The appeal argues that magistrates Arosemena and Pittí violated Martinelli's fundamental guarantees by entering to resolve substantive situations of the process and that they included in their decision situations that, according to this thesis, were not raised in the appeal for annulment presented by prosecutor Ricaurte Gonzalez.
It also points out that in the annulment appeal the crimes for which Martinelli should have been convicted were never specified. In addition, he only referred to the fact that the evidence presented was not evaluated by the trial court.
Meanwhile, Carlos Herrera Morán, the lawyer for Balbina Herrera and Mauro Zúñiga, argued that the Amparo is a strategy so that the new trial of Martinelli is not held on the scheduled date.
Meanwhile, David Cuevas, Rosendo Rivera's lawyer, said he did not know the content of the appeal, but also considered that it was a delaying strategy

GE Global Laser Enrichment get license from Nuclear Regulatory Commission
April 7, 2017 September 25, 2012 by Brian Wang
Bloomberg – GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy's (GEH) Global Laser Enrichment (GLE) today announced receipt of its license from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to build a groundbreaking laser enrichment facility on the 1,600-acre site of the company's global headquarters in Wilmington, N.C.
While a commercialization decision must still be made by the company, the license enables GLE to build a first-of-its-kind uranium enrichment facility using lasers conceived of by Australian technology company SILEX and developed by GLE experts.
Washington Post – GE Hitachi said it hasn't yet decided whether the project will be profitable enough to launch construction of the $1 billion plant. Part of the evaluation will be weighing whether markets for enriched uranium will hold for years into the future
Nuclear Townhall has coverage
Nextbigfuture has covered Silex laser uranium enrichment before
Today, a majority of enriched uranium made to produce nuclear fuel in the United States comes from foreign or government-supplemented sources. The GLE license, applied for in June 2009, will allow the laser enrichment plant to produce up to 6 million single work units (SWU) per year in the United States.
The next step in the process is for the company to make a commercialization decision. This decision will be based on several factors.

Home Healthcare and health reform cancer
Memo to Canberra: How are other countries finding billions for health care? Ending fossil fuel subsidies
cancer, cardiovascular disease, Chronic conditions, Climate emergency, co-payments, emergency departments and care, Federal Budget 2014-15, Federal Budget 2015-16, health and medical research, health financing and costs, Health inequalities, Health reform, Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, poverty, prevention, Public health
There's confusion about what is or isn't on the table for cuts after Health Minister Sussan Ley conceded the Senate won't pass increased patient contributions for PBS drugs, but said the $1 billion 'savings' will have to be found elsewhere. See more below for how it unfolded.
But if the Minister and the Federal Government is finding it so hard to find the savings they need to fund vital health and other services, then there's a solution in sight: scrapping fossil fuel subsidies which have been estimated in Australia to be worth $47 billion over the next four years.
According to this article in The Lancet, Indonesia and Iran have eliminated fossil fuel subsidies to finance health coverage and other social priorities, a strategy being considered by other countries wanting to pursue universal health coverage – even when it can be tricky to manage politically.
It says:
As increasing numbers of such countries move towards universal health coverage, redirection of fossil fuel subsidies could become an increasingly important policy instrument to enable simultaneous tackling of several development priorities. Specifically, these countries will be able to expand health coverage, mitigate climate change by reducing their use of fossil fuels, enhance economic growth, and reduce income and health inequalities. Perhaps just as importantly for the political leaders concerned, such reform will enhance their popularity and ensure continued political relevance for them in future elections
The article notes that Indonesia has eliminated the fuel subsidies that constituted nearly 20 per cent of government spending between 2009 and 2013 and, coupled with food subsidies, amounted to the same sum the central government had earmarked for health and education.
"In implementing this unpopular policy, President Joko Widodo has immediately allocated additional funds to scale up coverage for social services. This scale-up has included the launch of a new free health-care card for poor households not covered by previous health insurance schemes."
The Federal Opposition is today saying the government's health policy is now "in complete chaos after Treasurer Joe Hockey today overruled the Health Minister and forced her to reinstate her unfair hikes in prescription costs".
Here (below) is the statement the Minister put out last night, followed by excerpts of her interview on ABC's 774 in Melbourne with Rafael Epstein (supplied by the Minister's office).
Rafael Epstein: So, this proposal from last year's Budget saves you a billion over four year. It was included in last week's Budget. Was it only dropped today so the saving could be booked last week?
Sussan Ley: Look, a measure that doesn't pass in a previous Budget sits on the books and effectively this is a bill that's stalled in the Senate. When I came in as Health Minister, I went and talked to the crossbench, took standings from my colleagues and I think it's fair to say the crossbench senators said they weren't going to support it. It's there for the role of government to rework, maybe redesign, a measure that keeps its intent, that keeps its savings tasks, that recognises our fiscal responsibility. I am definitely not walking away from this amount because we have to do some heavy listening across government to look after our nation's finances into the future. But I also…
Rafael Epstein: Sorry, can I just clarify, are you saying that you're committing as a Minister and as a government that that billion dollar saving over four years, you'll find that elsewhere, is that what you're saying?
Sussan Ley: It will be found and I want to link it in a general sense to the task that we have to pay for new drugs into the future because I think it makes sense and I think people understand it, now how we put it in as far as – you know, it's an existing measure around co-payments and safety nets but we want to keep medicines affordable for consumers. I have kept that focus all the way through and I will continue to keep it and that's why the Consumers Health Forum and others have said we've done a good job with our Pharmacy Agreement and the PBS so far and we're going to keep them at the table because they have the interests of those who struggle to pay for medicines at heart and that's important but with $50 billion of new listings for drugs to be paid for in the next five years, this is unprecedented and I want to make the case, I want to make the case to the community and to the Parliament that this is something governments do need to invest in. How we do it is a matter of designing the right policy but we do need to make sure that we have those lifesaving drugs available for people.
Rafael Epstein: Oh no, I know, I might have that wrong. I mean, you tell me, was the saving in last week's Budget or not?
Sussan Ley: It was counted because it's an existing measure that's sitting in the Parliament and I have committed to find the saving and to exercise a responsibility in fiscal terms that I need to in my Budget but I just want to make the point that the community generally is very welcoming of the message that I am giving that to pay for new drugs we have to find a way to do this. I don't get…
Rafael Epstein: Sure, but how are you going to square that circle? I mean, you've just lost a billion worth of savings, you proposed as a government the GP co-payment last year, you've dropped that. Where on earth are the savings going to come from?
Sussan Ley: These are challenges Raf, but they are challenges that we are up for. Now, in talking to my colleagues in the Parliament, when I explained to them the quality of life difference that these drugs make and the fact that for example Mekinist – which is a drug for advanced melanoma that we've just listed, its real cost is $131,000 a script. You as a concessional patient can get it for $6, you and I can get it for $37. When we make the case and make the argument, there is general broad acceptance that yes, governments have got to find a way to pay for this. So, I'm happy to work with the Parliament, I'm happy to work with the people and in consultation come up with something that delivers us the ability to buy these drugs and make them available to people who need them.
Clearer? Or looking at those fossil fuel cuts even more now?

Dating, like exercise, is often a tedious means to a desirable end, and COVID restrictions have only made the two efforts more complicated. But now the dating app Bumble and rental site Airbnb have collaborated to provide a solution to the lack-of-activities problem. You reserve a spot and pay the host online. Bumble's role in this collab is through a sponsoring a contest, wherein Bumble users will be selected to go on their first virtual dates via the Airbnb platform. Here are the rules , which include detailed instructions for how to enter. Basically, you open the Bumble app in Date Mode there's a Bumble friends option, lol , swipe right when presented the contest profile card, and swipe right on some hotties after you enter.
Attention, singles fed up with the travails of Tinder: there's a new dating app apparently aimed at Ivy League students and graduates, because this world just doesn't have enough dating apps — or elitism — already. Yes, you heard right: a forthcoming matchmaking app called The League , founded by Stanford MBA student Amanda Bradford , promises to keep its dating pool "well-balanced and high-quality" by weeding out supposedly unsuitable bachelors and bachelorettes via an unexplained screening metric.
Although The League is not the first dating app to court elite students and those who want to date them , the app's website pitch to woo applicants is a real doozy:. You don't need a dating app to get a date -— you're too popular as it is. But you should join The League. Praise the online dating gods for answering our prayers.

From as far back as I can remember, I cringed. You can cringe individually, privately without anyone knowing, without being judged or ridiculed. And something that one keeps within, only grows and develops. And so it was with my cringe. Creative director days.

Did I not? It became a game, people would play. I realised that I cringed not just parallel and outwards, but inwards and upwards as well. Towards my own thinking, when I felt a cringe, it would stop me from voicing the thought before my team members and even partners who I had grown close to.
In I went on national television, declaring on the Insight program that I was not attracted to black men and only dated caucasian males. At the time I saw nothing wrong with my views. Over the years however I have been forced to do some serious self reflection and I have come to the conclusion that I did indeed have an internalised bias towards black men. I had this notion largely due to my own experiences and traumas that I experienced from black men. I have a complex relationship with my own father and I experienced severe trauma as child at the hands of a black man.
This made me form a very biased opinion of how black men are and ultimately changed the attraction and views I had towards a potential partner.

There is only one country whose men and only men I try to avoid: Germany. What have German men ever done to deserve this?

I wish I was making this up.

Every morning I wake up to the same routine. I log into the Tinder account of a year-old man from Texas—a client. Men and women though mostly men from all over the world pay this company to outsource the labor and tedium of online dating. But as e-romance hits an all-time high, our daily dose of rejection, harassment, and heartbreak creeps upward, too. When I tell people that I work as an online-dating assistant, their initial reaction is of morbid curiosity.
I received a callback three days later. Was I dating anyone currently? Despite hiring writers to do this work, virtually none of what the company does requires creativity of any kind. If a client has a dog jackpot! The process for Closers is a bit more complicated.

Like any other student, he made mistakes, contemplated new ideas, and tried to best manage his time. Fish does. During his senior year of high school in Waterloo, Canada, Fish started making daily video blogs vlogs and posting them on YouTube. Those interested could watch him spend time with friends, cook, and prepare for track meets. Confined to his house and unable to take viewers—to the extent there were any—out and about with him, he decided to make a video exploring a popular YouTube topic: college admissions.
The minute opus brought him hundreds of thousands of views. On YouTube, the Harvard name is powerful. Often, though, Harvard-centric videos are one-hit wonders. Nevertheless, Fish, like many who taste YouTube fame, began obsessing over his views and likes. When he reached , subscribers—people notified when he posts something new—in a month, he felt compelled to roll his success over to the next, churning out crowd-pleasing videos. Even on his non-college videos, commenters requested tours of his dorm, a review of the computer-science concentration, and general inside looks into the alluring world of Harvard.
Meanwhile, another High Court challenge is being flagged against the constitutional right of the Queensland government to keep the state's borders closed. School students, workers and freight drivers can enter the state without an issue, but Queensland is closed to anyone else because of the COVID pandemic. He said the move was part of a wider effort to help Queensland's tourism industry recover from the effects that COVID had on the industry and businesses and people that rely on it.
A gofundme page has been set up to fund the challenge and allow the plaintiffs to start the case in the High Court "as soon as possible". The Australian reported the challenge was lodged on Monday, with six plaintiffs including a Brisbane travel agency and a Cairns charter operator, plus interstate individuals and a company.

Andre Drummond isn't afraid to get dunked on
James L. Edwards III
Believe it or not, there was a period in NBA history when a highlight play was only for in-the-moment consumption. In 1961, you either occupied a seat at War Memorial Arena to see the Syracuse Nationals' Johnny Kerr pull off a between-the-legs, 360 dunk on the head of Oscar Robertson, or you never were aware it took place. (That likely never happened, but you get my drift … we'll never know.) Eventually, as technology advanced, you could catch that day's highlight-reel moments on television for a short cycle before another batch took over the news.
Today, thanks to social media, rim-twisting dunks and ankle-breaking crossovers are forever at our fingertips. Their shelf life is dependent upon an uploader. And because of that never-ending reach, the present-day player is more conscious of the public embarrassment that comes with being on the wrong end of the spotlight. Posters are out of style. Looping videos and freeze-frame photos are the new black.
One misstep, one failed attempt at, presumably, doing the right thing, can make someone a global spectacle.
"Unfortunately, today, I think a lot of people spend a little too much time thinking about the highlight rather than the product and what you're putting out there," Pistons forward Blake Griffin said of the impact social media has on today's athletes.
Detroit center Andre Drummond was once one of them. If an opponent was gearing up to slam a ball down his throat, to test his manhood, Drummond would contemplate whether the risk of challenging it was worth the reward. He pondered whether helping his team potentially win a ball game with a stifling meeting at the rim would outweigh the World Wide Web's response in the 50-50 chance he lost an aerial duel.
It's safe to say he wasn't — and won't be — the only one.
"As a younger guy, no one wants to be on a highlight or make somebody's mixtape for their best plays of the year," Drummond said. "For me, early in me career, that was something where I was like, 'Ah, I don't know if I should go for this and get dunked on.'"

Now, though, the seven-year veteran has come to grips with the reality that, sometimes, you're going to be on the dispiriting end of the viral craze. Some battles you win, some battles you lose. At 25, Drummond would much rather play the odds and flip the narrative on its head to help the Pistons become winners.
He has learned that a momentum-changing block has the same effect as a stare-down punch. He has come to the understanding that his presence as a rim protector means more to people than his ego does to himself. In turn, Drummond has pushed his development a step forward as someone who might not be the one to test in a head-to-head collision at basketball's greatest height.
"Those plays are winning plays," Drummond said. "When someone tries to get a dunk and you get the block, it's demoralizing for a guy trying to dunk the basketball. For me, I'm trying to go after everything. Whatever happens, happens."
As a result, for the last month, Drummond has turned himself into a legitimate gatekeeper in the season's second half.
Drummond, who posted three blocks in Saturday's 99-90 victory over Portland and moved to fourth all-time on the Pistons' blocks list, has proven to be a human windshield wiper, a disruptor of fun. His shot-blocking stats since February speak for him, but even when the moment doesn't translate to numbers, Drummond has frustrated penetrators like never before.
Since Feb. 2, Drummond has 48 blocks in 26 games, which equates to 1.8 blocks per game. The two-time All-Star is fifth in the NBA in blocks since the start of February because, to put it simply, he has pushed his social-media image aside for the betterment of an organization that has made the playoffs only once in his career.
"(Andre) is putting his ego and pride on the line," Pistons coach Dwane Casey said. "You have to be undeterred, as far as going in there and trying to block a shot. You're probably going to get dunked on more than you block shots, but you can't worry about that. And that's one thing about Andre, he's been doing that."
In last Thursday's win over the Magic, Drummond logged a season-high six blocks. He got the final one with eight minutes left in the third quarter.
Aaron Gordon's attempted undressing of Drummond was the most forceful shot the Pistons center had to detour, but it's just one example of how he's willing to put his body on the line to make a highlight of his own. As Casey tells it, aside from Drummond being more willing to live with the occasional cramming, he's anticipating and reacting at a required rate to be considered an elite rim protector.
That mindful progression, as much as anything, is what has put him in first-class company over the last two months.
"Now, it's to a point where I don't really care" about being dunked on, Drummond said. "I'm a shot-blocker, so I'm going to get everything. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, more times than not I'm going to get the block."
If we've learned anything about Drummond this season, it's that his mental game — his decision-making and his understanding of who he is as a player — has increased significantly. Offensively, he's taking efficient attempts, he's not forcing as many shots that aren't within his desired range and he's not a liability in late-game situations because he's a capable free-throw shooter. Defensively, Drummond is roaming and initiating exchanges because he's confident in his abilities.
Like most 25-year-olds, Drummond is active on social media. Between his NBA job and aspiring music career, he's as present there as anyone on the Pistons. If Drummond gets got on the court, best believe House of Highlights forces him to relive it.
He just doesn't care what anyone might have to say anymore.
"Every shot-blocker, everybody, if you actually try and challenge enough shots, you're going to get dunked on," Griffin said. "That's for social media, that's for Instagram. We don't care about that. He's proven that time after time, and he's gotten a lot more than he's missed."
