Politics of India
The first Council of the IUML, which was at the time the Indian successor of the Muslim League, was held on 10 March 1948 at the south Indian city of Madras.[3] The 'Indian Union Muslim League' constitution was passed on 1 September 1951.[3]
The party is a member of the UDF, the Congress-led pre-poll state level alliance in Kerala[4][5] and has always had a constant, albeit small, presence in the Lok Sabha.[4] The party is a part of the United Progressive Alliance at the national level.[4] The League got its first union minister (Minister of State for External Affairs) in the first Manmohan Singh ministry in 2004.[6]
The party currently has four members in Parliament - E. T. Mohammed Basheer, M. P. Abdussamad Samadani, and K. Navas Kani in the Lok Sabha and P. V. Abdul Wahab in the Rajya Sabha and nineteen members in State Legislative Assemblies of Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

After the partition of India in 1947, the All-India Muslim League was virtually disbanded. It was succeeded by the Indian segment of the Muslim League in the new Dominion of India (first session on 10 March 1948 and constitution passed on 1 September 1951).[4] M. Muhammad Ismail, the then President of the Madras Muslim League (M. M. L.) was chosen as the Convener of the Indian segment of the League.[3] The Travancore League (the States' Muslim League) was merged with the Malabar League in November, 1956.[3]
Indian Union Muslim League contests General Elections under the Indian Constitution.[4] The party is normally represented by two members in the Indian Lower House (the Lok Sabha).[4] B. Pocker, elected from Malappuram Constituency, was a member of the First Lower House (1952–57) from the Madras Muslim League (M. M. L.).[4] The party currently has four members in Parliament.
Apart from Kerala and West Bengal, the League had Legislative Assembly members in Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry, Maharastra, Karanataka, Uttar Pradesh, and Assam.[7] In West Bengal, the League had won Assembly seats in the 1970s, and A. K. A. Hassanussaman was a member of the Ajoy Mukherjee cabinet.[8]
Indian Union Muslim League first gained a ministry in Kerala Government as part of the Communist Party of India Marxist-led United Front in 1967. The party switched fronts in 1969 and formed an alliance with the Congress in 1976.[9][5] It later became a chief constituent in a succession of Indian National Congress-lead ministries.[5]

IdeologyEdit
The [Indian Union Muslim League] party...has shown strands of identity politics, but largely remained communitarian; it has at times been conservative, but never communal. It has furthered Muslim aspirations without antagonising any other segment—and hence has retained its centrality in the larger Kerala polity
—  Outlook [2]
The distinctive feature of the [Indian Union] Muslim League in Kerala is that it strove to keep the [Muslim] community at the centre of the [Kerala] state's politics, unlike other Muslim political formations elsewhere in India that revelled in confessional isolationism. As a result, the Kerala Muslims emerged as probably the only community of that faith in India that achieved genuine political empowerment on the one hand and, on the other, lived out the promise of equal citizenship enshrined in the [Indian] Constitution.
If organising a religious community politically on the basis of antagonism to another is communalism, the IUML has never mobilised its cadre nor used its political and often administrative clout to create religious divides. On the contrary, whenever the state faced a communally sensitive situation, the party rose to the occasion and played a stellar role in dousing the flames....By practicing a brand of politics that could be termed communitarian rather than communal, the IUML succeeded in actualising the constitutional guarantee of equal citizenship for the Muslims in the state.
—  The Indian Express [4]
IUML was formed "to preserve and promote the religious and cultural identities of Indian Muslims and other minorities and backward classes of the country". Even though the constitution of IUML has pledged allegiance to the secular Constitution of India, the party has opposed many constitutional verdicts by the Supreme Court of India like those allowing the entry of women of menstruating age to Sabarimala temple & abolishing Section 377 & Section 497 of the Indian Penal Code, in which the court had upheld the constitutional right to equality above religious & cultural values.[20][21]

ControversiesEdit
Opposition to Child Marriage ActEdit
IUML has consistently opposed the Child Marriage Act by saying that it contravenes Muslim personal law. A circular issued by Local Self Government Department of Kerala which was under IUML in 2013 asking to register marriages of Muslim women under the age of 18 had created controversy resulting in later withdrawal.[32]
Role in Marad massacreEdit
The judicial commission which probed the Marad massacre concluded that IUML was directly involved in the conspiracy and execution of the massacre.[33]

The Best Commercial Architects in Carson City, Nevada
Carson City, Nevada is rich with history. From its origins as a stopover for California-bound immigrants to its history as a hub for the Virginia and Truckee Railroad, Carson City has seen its fair share of businesses thrive within its borders. As the sixth-largest city in Nevada, it offers people an abundance of opportunities to grow in its community.
If you're looking to create your new business in the area, we've gathered a list of the best commercial architects in Carson City, Nevada. This list was created after we evaluated a number of firms. We looked at the architects' history, their design process, the quality of their projects, and the recognition they have earned in the business.
TSK Architects
225 S Arlington Avenue, Suite A, Reno, NV 89501
TSK Architects is an award-winning architecture and interior design firm backed by 65 years of experience in designing innovative and sustainable public architecture. Thanks to its emphasis on green architecture, the firm aims to minimize the consumption of non-renewable resources, contribute positively to the environment, and design architecture that connects people to the world.
Thanks to the firm's adherence to good design practices, it has been named the 2020 Architecture Firm of the Year by AIA Nevada and was ranked #35 on ENR Southwest's list of Top Design Firms in 2019. The firm is also accredited with the AIA, NCARB, and DBIA, and has team members that are LEED-Accredited Professionals.
One example of the firm's creativity and knack for connecting people and spaces is the stunning Patagonia Sugar Pine Office. Found in Reno, this 19,500-square-foot project was once an existing manufacturing building that the team revamped to create a walkable campus. The repurposed building has generous daylighting and plenty of outside social spaces that make working in the office more enjoyable. During construction, parts of the interior were sorted on-site, recycled, and were repurposed for another project as well, which made for a very sustainable building process.
Collaborative Design Studio
9444 Double R Boulevard, Suite B, Reno, NV 89521
Founded in 1976, Collaborative Design Studio is a highly experienced architecture, planning, and interior design firm, specializing in design for civic, cultural, K-12 education, higher education, corporate office, retail, hospitality, and recreational projects. Apart from providing award-winning architecture services, the firm also provides facility assessment and master planning that ensures that the client can make confident planning decisions.
At the helm is Peter Grove, AIA NCARB, an architect with 35 years of experience designing award-winning public and private projects. He is joined by Todd Lankenau, AIA CSI DBIA LEED AP, an architect with over 40 years of experience in award-winning architecture and planning projects for public and private clients. Thanks to the firm's leadership, it comes as no surprise that Collaborative Design Studio has had a hand in designing some LEED-accredited projects that take into consideration the environmental impacts of the building.
Above is the Inter-Tel Corporate Headquarters in Reno. Collaborative Design Studio provided the design, construction, and administration services for this project. This 75,000-square-foot project was built on a 15-acre site, and the Studio provided the master plan. For the first building, the team designed it to have a contemporary precast concrete and glass theme. The campus is designed to be high-performance with reflective insulating glass, making sure that the design of the building allows for a reduced heating and cooling load and energy-efficient operation.
H+K Architects
5485 Reno Corporate Drive, Suite 100, Reno, NV 89511
Over the past 28 years, H+K Architects has worked with both public and private clients on significant academic, institutional, and commercial projects all across northern Nevada. Over the years, its seasoned team has honed the skills of cost control, scheduling, and construction administration — all of which are crucial to the success of a project.
It has successfully managed over 600 public projects and countless private ones that all focus on the functionality of space. As a result, the firm earned the 2011 Award of Merit in the Small Project category from ENR Southwest and it has been included in the Best of 2010 list of AIA Northern Nevada Architecture.
Pictured here is the MINI of Reno for Bill Pearce Motors. This creative space includes a two-level showroom that can accommodate six automobiles.

I'm still reading Serial Hottie by Kelly Oram as a part of a group read. I love the characters! It's a fun psychological thriller. Curious to see the outcome 😀 I started Folls Rush In by Donna S. Frelick which I'm reviewing later this week for a blog tour. Good so far!
Later this week I have more fertility appointments (no fun!). I keep reminding myself that in the end, the results are worth the hassle, but I seriously dread these appointments, the poking and prodding, the worry of "what if" there's something else wrong…you get the picture.
Reading wise I have a beta read to get to and a few arc that are calling my name.
What are you reading this week? Any big plans? What are your favorite rides when you go to a theme park?
You should like you had a fun week. Never been to Dollywood but I am glad your son had fun.
We had a blast! Dollywood used to be one of our favorite places but hadn't been since we had little man. I was so excited to take him.
Thanks Michelle! Hope you have a great week. PS I owe you a post! Sending it tonight!!!
My kids are NOT daredevils at the amusement parks. I used to love anything spinny, but as I've aged, my stomach has changed its mind. I've been wondering about the Prineas series and am glad to see you like them.
He surprised us. He's usually a little scaredy cat 😉 I was impressed with the Prineas series. Liked the second much better though.
Lampshade Reader recently posted…Sunday Post #5: Where Did the Week Go?
I love holiday stories. Looking forward to the HoHoHo readathon in November. Hope you're enjoying it!
I'm reading the Longest Con by Michealbrenton. No big plans for this week just reading, blogging and house cleaning. I like the rides like the gravitron.
Glad you had such a good Fall Break. I hope your appt goes well, it's totally natural to not be looking forward to such things. Good luck.
Sounds like you had a fun vacation and that's great your son was tall enough for most of the rides! I am doing a beta read as well right now, I am almost finished with it. Have a great week!
I can't help but wonder if it's the same beta 😉 If it is, I finished last night and loved it!

Bantam captain hopes to springboard to junior
Eric Westhaver	/ Flin Flon Reminder
Joey Lies proudly dons the C for the Norman Wolves bantam AAA team in a game against the Interlake Lightning earlier this season. Lies is the second Flin Flon-based captain of the team in recent years, following his brother Justin. - SUBMITTED PHOTOS
Joey Lies remembers the first time he played a major bantam hockey game. Then 12 years old, playing for a regional team, he recalls being run over.
"I got knocked down a couple of times and I thought, 'Ok, it can't be like this all season,'" he joked.
Only seconds later, the intimidation faded away and Lies got on the board.
"I got up and I scored. I liked it then and it was really good to me since."
This season, the 14-year-old Lies is the captain of the Norman Wolves, a regional bantam AAA team playing in the Winnipeg bantam AAA league.
"This year, I went to tryouts and I was told then that I'd be captain. They said, 'Keep on working, keep on doing what you're doing, because it's obviously gotten me to good places,'" he said.
"It's so cool, being the only guy out there with the C from the north. Leading our group of guys, it's a huge honour."
Despite being a first-year player, Lies played first line minutes with the Wolves last season, finishing second in team scoring with 42 points in 36 games.
Facing the big boys proved intimidating at first for a then-12-year-old Lies, but he eventually found success.
"The first time, when we played in Portage, it was kind of scary. I played on a couple of spring teams, so I was kind of used to it already, but they were nowhere near the size of these guys."
Now in his second year with the club, Lies is leading the way as a veteran on a team full of rookies. As a northern team, certain challenges come with the territory - while Lies and a few teammates are based in Flin Flon, the Wolves as a team are based in Thompson and consist mainly of Thompson players. Each week, Lies and his local teammates have to drive long distances, including four hours to Thompson and four hours back for home games or practices. Players based in Flin Flon and The Pas meet in The Pas for practices every week, separate from their teammates further north.
"When we do get the chance to practice, we make the best out of it," said Lies.
"Last year, there were only four first-year players. Now, there's only four returning players. We've got a lot of first-year bantam players. We've played a couple teams that are ranked nationally. Those games weren't the greatest - our league is pretty good. They practice three times a week and living four hours away, it's kind of rough."
Having a younger roster is translating to a rough start. The Wolves have lost each of their first 15 games. Norman has only scored 24 times in those 10 games, giving up 142 goals in the process.
Lies is leading the way on his team early with 13 points in as many games - factoring in on more than half his team's goals, despite missing a game with a knee injury.
"We've had a couple of really good teams at the start. We're [0-14-1] right now, but we've played Winnipeg teams and all the top end groups. Our first 10 or 15 games are pretty rough, but our team is just building chemistry and starting off. After the first couple games, all the boys will know."
It's uncommon for Flin Flonners to captain northern regional rep teams, but that trend has changed in recent years. Lies can look closer to home to find another recent regional captain - just down the hall in the family home, in fact.
Joey's older brother Justin, now with the WHL's Vancouver Giants, was the last Flin Flon-based captain of the Wolves, leading the team in the 2017-18 season. A successful year with the Wolves led to Justin being selected in the WHL bantam draft, then playing a season in Winnipeg with Rink Hockey Academy (RHA), one of western Canada's top sports school programs.
Joey hopes strong play this season will lead to his name being called in the WHL bantam draft, following in his older brother's footsteps.
"That's the goal, to play in the Dub (WHL). That's a pretty awesome spot," he said.
"The day he got drafted, I was super excited for him, but then I thought, 'Now it's my turn.' I have to live up to the hype. It's up to me now. It's been my goal to go higher than Justin did. That's been my goal ever since."
He hopes to play major junior and be Flin Flon's first born-and-raised talent in the NHL in years - that is, if his brother doesn't get there first.
"It's just going to push me harder, thinking, 'What else do I have to do?' I've been to Manitoba camps and stuff like that and I feel like I've been one of the top players there."
"I know what I can do - now I've got to do this all season and hopefully it takes me to the Dub."

Let me start by introducing myself. I grew up in rural, hilly, western New Jersey and although I loved the peace and beauty of the area, I always knew that I wanted a life with a little bit more glam. I ended up moving to New York City to study classical music at Columbia University and have lived here ever since. Currently my husband and I live on the Upper East Side of Manhattan – a super fun place to live as a late 20 something. In addition to blogging, I work as a professional classical musician and as a lifestyle mentor/coach - working with women to help them find themselves and to live confident, elegant lives!
I love living in New York – it's fast-paced, energetic, and a mecca of all things style, beauty, culture, and culinary. I decided to start this blog to share the "joie de vivre" that I find in my daily life. It is my hope that you will find this blog to be a resource for all the latest of interest in Style, Beauty, Decor, Lifestyle Inspiration, Entertaining, Culture, Travel, and NYC.

Q: A step in computing the cohomology ring of $\mathbb{C}P^n$ On page 250 of Hatcher's Algebraic Topology, he uses a certain corollary to compute the cohomology ring of $\mathbb{C}P^n$. The relevant section is below for convenience:

I understand the proof except for his statement that once can deduce $H^{2i}(\mathbb{C}P^n)$ is generated by $\alpha^i$ for all $i<n$. The base case follows trivially from the induced isomorphism between $H^2(\mathbb{C}P^1)$ and $H^2(\mathbb{C}P^2)$. I tried working everything out after that, but in the end I arrive at $H^{2i} (\mathbb{C}P^n)$ is generated by $\alpha^i$ for all $i<n-1$, not $n$, as Hatcher says. I really don't see how one could use the fact that $H^2(\mathbb{C}P^2)$ is generated by $\alpha$ to show that $H^4(\mathbb{C}P^3)$ is generated by $\alpha^2$. How does one see this?

A: To take the example at the end of your question, the fact that $H^4(\mathbb CP^3)$ is generated by $\alpha^2$ is deduced from the fact (part of the induction hypothesis) that $H^4(\mathbb CP^2)$ is generated by $\alpha^2$.  That's why Hatcher first recalls that the inclusion of $\mathbb CP^2$ in $\mathbb CP^3$ induces an isomorphism of cohomology up to dimension $4$, so that the full result for $\mathbb CP^2$ (including $H^4$) is available when proving the result for $\mathbb CP^3$.  (Analogous comments apply for general $n$ in place of $3$.)


Woodcut map of Switzerland by L. Fries. From the 1535 Lyon edition of Ptolemy's Geographia edited by M. Servetus and published by M. and G. Trechsel, printed from the 1522 woodblocks from the first Fries edition. With a beautiful woodcut title banner on top, which only appears in this 1535 edition. This is a sized reduced copy of the Waldseemuller maps from 1513, the first printed map of Switzerland.
Slightly waterstained in upper white margin. Very good copy.


Unknown but said to be a descendant of OG Kush.
Pecan colored stigma curl into well cured hunter green colas. Tearing open a nug exposes slight hidden purple hues. Crystals lighten the bud giving it a morning dew appearance.
A floral vibrancy dominates and is coupled with a tender sweetness that melds the nose together. Fresh cut bouquet surrounded by Fall fruits. Potpourri simmering in the afternoon. A smell to be surrounded in.
The floral nature of the nose translates well into the smooth smoke. A hint of sawn wood on the exhale accompanies the mild almost perfume aftertaste. The resin has a tangy sweet sharpness.
5 minutes in there is a nice facial pressure followed by a smooth body couch-lock. Anxiety easing and thought blocking. Comfortable without being coma inducing.
An excellent evening smoke with an incense-like soothing nose. The floral characteristic cannot be overstated and can be found rooted firmly in every aspect of this seducing aromatic bud. This functional flower would be great for a movie night or anytime you are looking for relaxation without a knockout.
Glad you enjoyed and nice pics! That Pink OG was a bit hit! Wish we had more... working on it.

Toor, Aroona
August 17, 2018 By WWAAC
Aroona Toor
Co-Founder – Muslim Women's Professional Network
Aroona Toor was born in Lahore, Pakistan. She immigrated to the U.S. with her parents, two brothers and sister when she was 4 years old. Her family settled in St. Louis, Missouri.
Aroona's story begins with her grandparents and parents.
Her father, Mohammad, grew up in a rural village of Punjab, Pakistan where he experienced extreme poverty. As a kid, he often had to wait naked while his mother washed and dried his clothes, as it was the only outfit he owned. He recalls sleeping on cold cement floors and walking to school barefoot. After completing high school, Mohammad ran away from home in hopes of escaping the cycle of poverty through the pursuit of a higher education. Although he started college he eventually had to drop out to support himself and his family. There were long periods of time in his life where he was homeless. He recalls bargaining with shop owners to allow him to sleep outside their store in return for watching over their stores at night. In a recent trip to Pakistan, Aroona learned that her father remained one of the most educated people from not only his village but all the surrounding villages. Eventually, through hard work, Mohammad successfully started his own metal scrapping business which he continued until he moved with his family to the U.S. Mohammad shared stories with his children about his experiences growing up in hopes of helping them practice gratitude, humility and to always remember their roots.
Aroona's maternal grandparents were internally displaced refugees during the India/Pakistan partition. Her grandparents migrated by foot from Amritsar, India and eventually settled in Lahore, Pakistan. Her maternal grandpa eventually became a renowned teacher whose students have included current and past high-level government officials including prime ministers. Her mother, Gulnaz, who was 1 of 7 children and also 1 of 5 daughters, was the only female in her family who sought out a professional career. This was not customary for women in Pakistan at that time, but she was determined to help people and was admitted into a nursing/midwifery program at a local hospital. Before moving to the US, she spent her last years as a nurse treating patients in Pakistan. Unlike most other healthcare providers, her mother treated her patients with the utmost respect and care. She believed, and still believes, that it is through the prayers and well wishes of these patients and their families that she could bring her whole family to the U.S.
Upon arriving to the U.S. Aroona's parents faced extreme difficulty in finding work. Her parents eventually secured minimum wage jobs from which they are now retired. Her father had a 14-year tenure with Walmart where he worked stocking shelves in the chemicals isle. Her mother retired after an 18-year tenure as a sandwich artist at Subway. Although her parents had minimum wage jobs and had very little to offer after making ends meet, they still prioritized giving back and set aside money to donate every month.
Throughout her childhood, Aroona saw her parents struggle in navigating different systems as immigrants. She saw many people (including other immigrants) take advantage of her parents and treat them as if they were lesser. Both Aroona and her siblings served as translators for their parents at a very early age.
As the youngest of 4, Aroona always had a natural love for school and learning. She learned how to read at a very early age. Her father would take Aroona and her siblings to the library every Saturday, and even asked teachers to give them Math homework for the summer. She grew up in a family where doing anything in the name of education was always encouraged.
In high school, Aroona participated in every free extracurricular activity she could find, because as a child, she wasn't afforded these opportunities because they usually came with a price tag. She was involved in sports, theatre, student government, honors societies and volunteer organizations all while working part-time at Subway and maintaining an above 4.0 G.P.A. Aroona graduated as a salutatorian of her graduating class and was chosen as one of the speakers for her graduation ceremony. Her senior year of high school, Aroona was awarded the Gates Millennium Scholarship, a full ride scholarship awarded to 1,000 high achieving minorities who come from low-income backgrounds. She was also awarded the Ferguson Lion's Club, Ferguson Kiwanis and the Kiwanis Earl Collins Missouri-Arkansas Scholarships for her work in the local community as a high school student.
Aroona continued her educational journey by attending Saint Louis University (SLU) for both her undergraduate and graduate studies. As a first-generation college student, attending a private university was an incredibly difficult academic and social transition for Aroona. She openly shares her first three semesters at SLU, her G.P.A. dropped to almost a 2.0. She recalls crying to her family after completing her freshman year and even discussed the possibility of dropping out of college. Her motivation to stay in college was the fact that she had a full-ride scholarship, that wouldn't be taken away from her despite the challenges she was facing in school.
Aroona ultimately not only completed her undergraduate program where she double majored in Public Health and International Studies and minored in Spanish, with a 3.3 cumulative G.P.A., but she went onto an accelerated Masters in Public Health Program with a concentration in Epidemiology, completing her graduate program with a 3.7 cumulative G.P.A.
Throughout her educational experience thus far, Aroona's intense curiosity to learn from and about different cultures and faiths, has led her to study abroad in Spain and spend a summer in Ethiopia teaching English. She has also partaken in immersion trips to Mexico, Morocco, West Virginia and the Navajo Nation Reservation; through these trips, she learned about social justice issues impacting the local communities.
Aroona has worked as a Health Promotion Intern for the Saint Louis County Department of Public Health focusing on mental health and substance abuse prevention in North Saint Louis County Youth and as a Legal Assistant for CG Immigration Law, LLC.
After graduating from her graduate program, Aroona spent almost three incredibly difficult years looking for a full-time job in her field. During this time, she Co-Founded an organization, the Muslim Women's Professional Network (MWPN), for which she is currently the Executive Director. MWPN is a St. Louis based nonprofit organization that aims to empower and connect Muslim women, with a focus on professional development and community engagement.
During this three-year period, Aroona also volunteered with organizations she was passionate about. Aroona became increasingly more involved with the Alumni Association of the Gates Millennium Scholars Program. She is in her 4th year serving on the Gates Millennium Scholars Alumni Advisory Council as the APIASF Partner Organization Liaison. Through this role she has helped create and sustain engagement and recognition opportunities for alumni, has led groups of scholars to D.C. to advocate around policies affecting cancer patients and their families with the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network and provided continuous mentorship to younger scholars. Additionally, she is a member of American Cancer Society's Global Young Professionals Council, the Gen2End Roundtable, and the HPV Vaccine Workgroup. Her additional advocacy efforts have included local efforts for the Missouri Immigrants and Refugee Advocates.
Aroona Toor now lives in Atlanta, GA and works as a Project Manager for Health Equity at the American Cancer Society. After working for a few more years, Aroona hopes to obtain her Doctorate in Public Health and continue to serve as a voice for economically and socially disadvantaged groups.
Aroona's older brother Jawad is now a Chemical Technician for Afton Chemicals, her older sister Mamona just completed her last year of medical school and her other older brother, Zeeshan, is a pharmacist.
Aroona credits all her accomplishments and all that she is today to the incredible sacrifices her parents have made for her and her siblings. She also credits two major life events with the extraordinary opportunities she has had, the first being coming to the U.S. and the second being becoming a recipient of the Gates Millennium Scholarship. To her, she would not have been able to pursue a higher education, travel, start a non- profit, or even be a recipient of this incredible award if it weren't for these life changing moments.

Golden Globes 2016: Ricky Gervais' tense exchange with Mel Gibson has everyone talking...plus the winners list
By Amy Nelmes and Adam Bub| 4 years ago
He's always going to push the boundaries but perhaps Ricky Gervais met his match when it came to Mel Gibson.
The British comedian mixed a Nazi joke with a Bill Crosby quip as he introduced his former rival Mel at the 73rd annual Golden Globes Awards at the Beverly Hilton in LA.
After Mel came onstage, Ricky ambushed the 60-year-old with a question that was cut from the broadcast. It turned out to be a swipe at Mel's infamous insult from his 2006 DUI arrest, when he reportedly asked a female police officer, "What do you think you're looking at, sugar t--s?". Watch Ricky's controversial jibe and Mel's reaction above.
But for all the outrageous antics, there were some serious awards to give out. Survival-themed drama/Western The Revenant scored Best Picture - Drama, while its star Leonardo DiCaprio scored Best Actor - Drama, and director Alejandro González Iñárritu took home Best Director.
Rising star Brie Larson, 26, beat Australia's Cate Blanchett for Best Actress - Drama in Canadian-Irish drama-thriller Room. Best Picture - Musical/Comedy went to The Martian, while Matt Damon scored Best Actor - Musical/Comedy for that same film. Awards darling Jennifer Lawrence won Best Actress - Musical/Comedy for her turn as a mop inventor in Joy.
Earlier in the night, Ricky Gervais took aim at Jennifer Lawrence being a 25-year-old to living off $52 million, while making a dig about Hollywood's gender pay gap.
It comes after J-Law kicked off the pay gap issue in Hollywood last year, saying she deserves to be paid the same as her male counterparts. It was revealed the male stars in 2013's American Hustle were paid more than both her and Amy Adams.
Ricky also made reference to the all-female remakes, including Ghostbusters this year, saying that it is a win-win situation due to the films being cheap to make.
But the cherry on the cake came when the 54-year-old cheekily took a jab at former hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, claiming he was paid the same…as both of them together.
In another Globes talking point, Jamie Foxx used his time onstage moment to take aim at the Miss Universe stuff-up last year, in which the wrong name was read out by Steve Harvey.
"The winner is Straight Outta Compton," he said. "I'm sorry folks I made a mistake..." It was actually The Hateful Eight.
But the night went to pals Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer, who joked about bedding "all the Hemsworths" when they got on stage to present.
Perhaps the most surprising win of the night came when Lady Gaga won the Best Performance in a Miniseries or Television Film for American Horror Story: Hotel.
And it was definitely a surprise to Leonardo DiCaprio, who was spotted laughing.

Check Out The Red Band Trailer For 'The Boss' Starring Melissa McCarthy!!!
A titan of industry, Michelle Darnell, is sent to prison after she's caught for insider trading. When she emerges ready to rebrand herself as America's latest sweetheart, not everyone she screwed over is so quick to forgive and forget. While this movie smacks of Martha Stewart, Miss Martha didn't become a titan in the world of Girl Scouts, so there's that.
The film was written and directed by star Melissa McCarthy's husband Ben Falcone and includes a co-star that McCarthy has worked with for a third time now, Kathy Bates, the first two projects being 'Tammy' and 'Mike & Molly'. This is a working relationship that just gets better with time and I hope it never stops.
McCarthy anchors the project with Kristen Bell playing her polar opposite, the voice of reason, and her Darnell's one saving grace. The cast also features Peter Dinklage, Kristen Schaal, Tyler Labine and Cecily Strong and hits theaters on April 8, 2016.

« Betty Boop Is Coming Back To TV!!!

LadyM 2021/05/09
Hi everyone! How are you? Flowers are blooming everywhere and the cold winter is over finally. A beautiful season is coming!! COVID-19 is still spreading whole wide world but I just hope that this crazy situation will be over soon and we can enjoy music in the near future.
Let's talk about "Justin Bieber" this month. I knew his name and some of his music, but I didn't know that much about him to be honest with you. So I took a little time to learn about him for you all.
Justin Bieber was born on March 1, 1994, in the small town of Stratford, Ontario, Canada.
His real name is Justin Drew Bieber.
In 2007, Bieber was just 12 years old. He sang Ne-Yo's song "So sick" for a local singing competition in Stratford and won second place. His mother posted his performance video on You tube, and she continued to upload videos of him singing covers of R&B songs. Bieber was communicated with followers on You tube and he became a famous in town.
At that time Scooter Braun ( he is an American media entrepreneur, record executive, and investor. Also known as music manager for Ariana Grande, and other artists.) was searching for videos of a new unique singer. He clicked on one of Bieber's 2007 Youtube videos by accident. Braun tracked down the theatre Bieber was performing in, located Bieber's school, and finally contacted Justin.
At age13, Bieber went to Atlanta, Georgia with Braun to record demo tapes. Then Bieber sang for Usher one week later. Bieber was soon signed to RBMG ( Raymond Braun Media Group) with a contract between Braun and Usher. (Justin Timberlake was also reportedly in the running to sign Bieber but Usher won.)
On December 20, 2009, He performed for President Obama at white house Christmas special and sang Bryan Wells's "Someday at Christmas".
At the age of 13, Bieber became a teen-pop sensation with hits like "Baby" and "Boyfriend." After several years he has recorded 98 Hot 100 songs. Justin Bieber has been on the Artist 100 Chart for 321 weeks.
In 2009 he release of his debut album "My World", then he release "My World 2.0". (This is considered the second half of a two-piece project.) "My World 2.0" debuted at number one on the Canadian albums chart, Australian albums chart, New Zealand albums chart, Irish albums chart, and also reached the top ten of fifteen other countries!!
In 2010 he released "My Worlds Acoustic".
In 2015 "Purpose" was released.
In 2017 Bieber was the second most followed user of Twitter, while his VEVO channel made him the third most subscribed user of Youtube until 2018 where he became the second most subscribed user of Youtube.
As of April 2021, his You tube channel has 62 million subscribers and 24.2 billion total views.
He released hit songs and collaborations with various artists such as Rapper Lil Wayne, Ariana Grande, Will.i.am ( from Black Eyed Peas), Boyz II Men, Chris Brown, Mariah Carey and more. These songs brought him acclaim and won many titles and record awards.
In his personal life, at 2018, He married with Hailey Baldwin (she is an American model).
He was going to do world tour on 2021, but it was postponed due to COVID-19. He still continues to communicate with fans on YouTube or Twitter. He also has done several TV programs to give positive messages to all of his fans.
His debut was when he was just 13 years old. Most people don't know anything at that age. No doubt many people think "he was just lucky to become success artist ", but I believe that luck is everywhere. It's up to you what you want to do, and where you are going to reach. I think he was just ready to be successful.
He is shining more and more… And he will reach the next revel for sure!!

Art Curator Gao Minglu helped put Chinese contemporary art on the map. Before his seminal exhibitions, the global art scene knew little of what China's artists had to offer. For the first time, he shared his own art this summer: paintings and life drawings he created during and just after the Cultural Revolution (1966-76). Co-sponsored by AmCham China, The Lonely Horizon – Gao Minglu during the 1970s shares landscapes and portraits from Gao's time in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, Tibet and other remote regions.
In the four decades since he first created the art, Gao has moved across the world to study, teach and curate. As a result, much of the artwork had been sitting in friends' garages or tucked into Gao's belongings for the better part of the last 40 years, and only uncovered by accident in recent years.
Those in attendance at the June 16 opening party, including world-renowned artist Xu Bing and US Ambassador to China Max Baucus, exemplify the bridge Gao represents: between China and the US, artist and establishment, 1970s and today.
Contemporary art is big business for both Chinese investors and Chinese artists, paricularly over the last decade. The last record-setting auction came in 2013 as Zeng Fanzhi's The Last Supper sold for $23.3 million.
In an exclusive interview with Business Now, Gao remarks that the commercialization of Chinese contemporary art has also presented challenges to his own academic work. Gao first left China in the early 1990s to study art in the US, earning his Ph.D. from Harvard and taking on his current professorship at the University of Pittsburgh.
Gao's career has been deeply shaped by the political and market forces around him. He sees the works in The Lonely Horizon as documentation of that moment in his life, and in the lives of many Chinese.
Like many his age, Gao was sent away from his hometown of Tianjin during the Cultural Revolution. He spent five years in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, teaching art.
He documented the time in journals, sketches and paintings. Many journal pages and portraits from this period depict Gao's students, the rosy-cheeked faces of China's windswept West. Gao says his work contrasted the popular art during this period in both theme and scale.
The paintings that make up Gao's exhibition are mostly pulled from a period of cultural isolation. Gao didn't paint much after this time, and he said he never thought the paintings would be shown in public.
"At that time I felt that I am just an individual, just a teacher, and I would do my best, but I had nothing to do with the outside world," Gao says.
The last painting Gao did dates to 1983, a landscape from Gansu province that his wife found a few years ago in one of his old paint sets. The early '80s marked an important shift for China, and one for Gao as well.
Gao studied at the Chinese National Academy of Arts and began to very actively engage with the world around him especially the emerging avant-garde art scene.
While speaking in his minimalist Wangjing apartment, Gao points to a weathered table in the corner of the kitchen, saying it was the place where his most dynamic conversations with artists took place 30 years ago as he collaborated with them as critic and curator.
Gao put together an exhibition of 300 pieces of contemporary art for the National Art Gallery. The year was 1989, and while it was still months before the student demonstrations, Gao recalls it as a sensitive moment. The exhibition opened on Feb. 5, and closed later that day when authorities clamped down after an artist fired a gun in the gallery as part of one performance piece.
The exhibition, and its premature closing, led to a sensational story in the New York Times. Gao keeps a clipping of the issue. He recalls that there were many news reporters at the opening, but no writers from art journals. "They still didn't know what was happening in China," he says.
The later days of 1989 tested Gao's idealism. He was not allowed to write, publish, travel or give lectures. Instead he was to stay home and study Marxism. He did stay home, though he chose to study other topics. These academic pursuits led to an invitation to study in the US.
While in the US, Gao worked to get the names of Chinese contemporary artists out into the world, and in 1998 curated Inside/Out, which focused solely on late 20th-century artists from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The show traveled across the US, appearing at New York's P.S.1 and San Francisco's Asian Art Museum, among other venues. Gao wanted Western audiences to understand Chinese contemporary art, both visually and conceptually.
"After Inside/Out, there was more dialogue between American universities and museums in China," Gao says.
At the Lonely Horizon opening celebration, AmCham China Chairman James Zimmerman commented on the parallels between the West opening up to Chinese art and the warming of relations between the two regions.
In the first decade of the 21st century, Chinese contemporary art became big business. Each auction seemed to bring a new tianjia, or "heavenly price." Criticisms have also risen about the commercial and materialistic side of new Chinese artists. Who don't have the rebellious, political streak that united their predecessors.
Gao says the commercial bubble affects his academic work, too. Getting Chinese galleries to agree to do exhibitions for purely scholarly or academic purposes proves difficult.
With the rise of private collectors, more private galleries have sprouted up in cities like Shanghai. For them, Gao says, the collection is about capitalism, with artwork sitting like money in a bank. He contrasts this with institutions in the West such as the Guggenheim, which takes a purely academic approach to its collection and exhibitions.

A characteristic medieval town with a small but lovely historic centre.
Particularly precious and important is the Romanic Parish, situated at the town entrance.
The Church of San Donato in Poggio is in proximity of the Castle from which it takes its name. The first testimony on San Donato dates back to year 989, with an act of donation to the nearby Abbey of Passignano.
The church of San Donato in Poggio has been readjusted over the centuries, but the restoration works occurred in the first half of the 19th century have brought back to life the ancient Romanic lines. Of all the examples of Tuscan Romanic style, San Donato in Poggio stands out with its mix of Padan style matching the simplicity of Tuscan religiosity. The inside of the church is divided into three naves, all terminating with semi-apses, supported by square plain columns. The central nave is lifted up from the ground, and has a beamed roof, while lighting inside is ensured through the small windows placed on the lateral naves, the apses and the façade. The square bell-tower is also remarkable, with the upper part being the result of a restoration work made at the beginning of the 20th century.

American children's television series
Barney & Friends is a popular children's television show produced in the United States, mainly aimed at preschoolers. Barney is a purple anthropomorphic Tyrannosaurus rex who conveys learning through jumping around singing children's' songs with a friendly, optimistic attitude.
We're best friends like friends should be
With a great big hug and
A kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too?
Theme song - Full lyrics and video at YouTube
Super Dee Duper!
Stu-u-u-pendous!
Tee-riffic!
And remember, I love you!
Baby Bop
Has any one seen my blankey?
Oh Goody Goddy *laughs*
Shawn: I like spaghetti and pizza, are they healthy foods?
Michael: Well they can be, but to be healthy, you need to eat lots of different kinds of food.
Luci: Sure, look here! Come here, Shawn! These are the four food groups, Bread & Cereal, Meats & Protein, Milk & Dairy, & Fruits and Vegetables.
Barney: Oh boy! Just look at all the good things to eat. I think it would take a dinosaur to eat all of that.
Luci: Breads & Cereals are things like bread, and cereal, and rice, and crackers. Meats & Protein are things like Meat, and fish, and eggs, and peanut butter. Milks & Dairy are things like, milk, and butter, and cheese, ice cream, and yogurt. And there are lots of fruits and vegetables like apples, oranges, bananas, carrots, cauliflower, celery, and lots more.
Barney: Yummy, yummy veggies!
Michael: So a healthy meal could be.... Um, some bread, a little bit of peanut butter, um, a piece of cheese, and some celery sticks!
Barney: Oh-ho. I'd like a meal like that.
Shawn: Four kinds of foods make one healthy body. But what will happen if someone had only ate one kind of food forever and ever?
Luci: Oh you wouldn't wanna do that. Something strange might happen.
Barney: Oh. Like what?
Luci: I'll tell you. There once was a boy who would only eat noodles. Oodles, and oodles, and oodles of noodles. And unless mom served him, he'd go boo-hoo-hoodles. Until she would fill up his plate. Yes unless he got noodles he get him mad noodles. And wiggle and whine and act terribly ruddles. He wouldn't eat salad or meatballs or froodles. He thought those were things that could wait. But then one dark day after eating his noodles, not carrots, and oranges, and such healthy froodles, that little boy turned into a noodle. And let that be a lesson to him, me, and youdle.
Shawn: That couldn't really happen could it?
Luci: No Shawn, that was just a story. But it wouldn't be a bad idea to remember all four food groups in every meal.
Quotes about Barney & Friends
I was always looking for products and programs that I felt good about and that would entertain my young son and hold his attention, because very few things would hold his attention. ... I started noticing what worked with him and what didn't – the characters, music, pacing and so on — and I came up with a formula in my mind of what was needed in order to work with preschoolers.
Sheryl Leach on the creation of Barney & Friends, in "Thinking Big, Really Big: Sheryl Leach" at StartupNation
[Children recognize that] Barney thinks like them ... He celebrates the child in childhood. ... We don't really think about what the parents are going to like and dislike.
Sheryl Leach, quoted in Handbook of Children and the Media (2001) by Dorothy G. Singer and Jerome L. Singer
Barney is much more than just a fun creature of kids' imaginations. He is a politically correct teacher of everything on the liberal left's agenda, from New Age evolution to radical ecology.
To many children Barney has become a guru of sorts. He teaches transcendental thought and mystical ideas. Nothing comes through Barney's teachings more clearly than the New Age idea of using our minds to create miracles. No one should deny that positive or negative thinking can tremendously affect our lives. But such powers are clearly physical and end with the normal experiences we enjoy. God alone is supernatural.
Reverend Joseph Chambers in Barney, "The Purple Messiah" (1993-1994)
The idea of a seance is at the forefront of almost every "Barney" program. On one show Mother Goose talks to the children from one of her books. Led by Barney, the children commune with Mother Goose and conduct a seance to bring her to them. As they sing and dance their little ditty she — poof! — appears in their presence. The Bible calls that necromancy and says a person who participates in such behavior is an abomination unto the Lord. This kind of occult activity fills the "Barney" material. Conjuring someone up is certainly not kids' play!
Reverend Joseph Chambers in Barney, "The Purple Messiah" (1993)
Barney, the harmless, ever-so-lovable purple dinosaur who is the star of the highest-rated public TV show for children in the United States, Barney and Friends, becomes a fierce object of hate. A Barney lookalike was viciously attacked in a Texas shopping mall, and an "I Hate Barney Secret Society" has formed, turning Barney's "I Love You, You Love Me" theme song into "I Hate You, You Hate Me, Let's Go Out and Kill Barney!" ... Barney and Friends was envisioned as a toddler show. It was created in the late 1987 by Sheryl Leach, a young mother who wanted a simple program that would entertain her pre-school children. ... Kindergarteners often do still like Barney, but by grade school, most children have learned to disdain him. ... How one wields Barney (whether one "loves" him or "hates" him) is akin to riding a merry-go-round: one does it differently at different ages.
Laura Desfor Edles in Cultural Sociology in Practice (2002) Ch. 3 : The Media and Popular Culture, p. 100
Barney and Friends is known for drawing the adoration of preschool viewers and the occasional joke or rolling of the eyes from parents and other adults due to its saccharin sweet content.
Media and the American Child : Learning the Hard Way (2007) by George Comstock and Erica Scharrer, p. 133

Marks and Spencer will close its Huddersfield town centre store at 5.30pm on Saturday, May 4, for the last time - more than eight decades after it first opened.
The store is one of the longest established businesses in Hudderfield town centre and its impending closure revealed in mid-January sent shockwaves through the town's traders, politicians and shoppers.
At the time the company said it was "consulting with 71 colleagues on the proposed closure" with many set to be redeployed.
Politicians were furious with Huddersfield MP Barry Sheerman slamming the decision as a disgrace and wondering whether the company's senior management team had "gone mad".
Huddersfield was just one of 17 stores M&S had announced it was earmarking for closure.
But the decision was not entirely a surprise given that M&S said as long ago as May last year it was looking to close more than 100 stores by 2022 as it accelerated a transformation programme that would see thousands of jobs put at risk.
The closures will affect its clothing and home stores which have under-performed for several years.
It first opened in 1894, 10 years after it was first founded in Leeds. It closed in 1925, then reopened in its present unit in New Street in 1934.
The nearest stores to Huddersfield are the Foodhall in the Gallagher retail park; Halifax nine miles away and Birstall at the Junction 27 retail park 11 miles away.
Mr Sheerman told the Examiner when the initial announcement was made: "Has M&S gone mad? They should have a presence in every university town in the country.
"Huddersfield is a typical town of Britain and if they can't make it work in a thriving university town like Huddersfield they are in deep trouble."
Mr Sheerman said he was confident of being able to get a meeting with Mr Rowe or his management team. The MP intends to put a "strong case" in favour of keeping the M&S Huddersfield store open.
An M&S spokeswoman said: "Proposing to close M&S Huddersfield was a difficult decision.
"Over the past few weeks we've been consulting with our colleagues and, following this rigorous process, the decision has been made to close our store on Saturday 4 May.
"We'd like to thank our customers, the local community and their representatives for the feedback they've given.
"We hope to see lots of customers continuing to shop with us at our other stores in the region, including Halifax and our Simply Food at Gallagher Retail Park, as well as on M&S.com."

I loved my first hydrangea painting so much that I decided to make another one!
I won't bore you by repeating the same instructions as before!!

I really love my color choices and how these turned out!

Q: how to add Videos in UITableViewCell I am developing an app in which I have to show video list in a table view. I want to show different videos in each Row as like youtube shows. I have added mediaplayerFramework only. Please tell me what I have to do next? Can anyone tell me in detail.?
This is my .h file
@interface videoViewController :UIViewController<UITableViewDataSource,UITableViewDelegate>
  {

     NSMutableArray * arrImages;

  }

and this is my .m file
@interface videoViewController ()

@end

@implementation videoViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];

UITableView *videoTable= [[UITableView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, Screen_width, Screen_height)];
videoTable.dataSource=self;
videoTable.delegate=self;
arrImages=[[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithObjects:@"video1",@"video2",@"video3",@"video4",@"video5",@"video6",@"video7", nil];
[self.view addSubview:videoTable];

}

-(NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView{
return 1;

 }
-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section{

 return [arrImages count];

 }

 -(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{

  static NSString *cellIdentifier =@"CellID";
  UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView     dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
   if (cell==nil) {
    cell=[[UITableViewCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];

 }
   return cell;
}
-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{

  return 100;
 }

A: 1. This is one way of adding video in cell
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{

          static NSString *cellIdentifier =@"CellID";
          UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView     dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
           if (cell==nil) {
            cell=[[UITableViewCell alloc]initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
              }

             NSURL *videoURL = [NSURL URLWithString:videoURL];
                        moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:videoURL];
                        [moviePlayer setControlStyle:MPMovieControlStyleNone];
                        moviePlayer.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFit;
                        [moviePlayer.view setFrame:CGRectMake(10.0, 0.0, 150.0 , 100.0)];
                        [cell.contentView addSubview:moviePlayer.view];
                         moviePlayer.view.hidden = NO;
                        [moviePlayer prepareToPlay];
                        [moviePlayer play];
    return cell;
}

2. But the best way of adding video in cell is to subclass a UITableViewCell and add a MPMoviePlayerController as its Property
@implementation CustomVideoCell
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier {
    self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
    if (self) {
        self.movie = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] init];
        self.movie.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFit;
        [self.contentView addSubview:self.movie.view];
    }
    return self;
 }
 - (void)layoutSubviews {
     [super layoutSubviews];
     self.movie.frame = CGRectMake(10, 0, self.bounds.size.width - 80, self.bounds.size.height);
 }

In swift 4:
        static let tableViewCellIdentifier = "CellID"

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    var cell: UITableViewCell? = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: tableViewCellIdentifier)
    if cell == nil {
        cell = UITableViewCell(style: .default, reuseIdentifier: tableViewCellIdentifier)
    }

    let videoURL = URL(string: videoURL ?? "")
    if let videoURL = videoURL {
        moviePlayer = MPMoviePlayerController(contentURL: videoURL)
    }
    moviePlayer.controlStyle = .none
    moviePlayer.scalingMode = .aspectFit
    moviePlayer.view.frame = CGRect(x: 10.0, y: 0.0, width: 150.0, height: 100.0)
    cell?.contentView.addSubview(moviePlayer.view)
    moviePlayer.view.hidden = false
    moviePlayer.prepareToPlay()
    moviePlayer.play()
    return cell!
}

......
    class CustomVideoCell {
    init(style: UITableViewCell.CellStyle, reuseIdentifier: String?) {
        super.init(style: style, reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier)

        movie = MPMoviePlayerController()
        movie.scalingMode = .aspectFit
        contentView.addSubview(movie.view)

    }

    func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()
        movie.frame = CGRect(x: 10, y: 0, width: bounds.size.width - 80, height: bounds.size.height)
    }
}
