If the shoe fits, wear it. If the cap fits, do the same. If something applies to you, accept it and own it and that's exactly what some boxer's have done, taking to heart and encompassing a chosen moniker/nickname and making it there own. Five boxer's who's nicknames where custom made for them .
#5. Henry Jackson Jr. (Henry Armstrong) is a name that still packs a punch in the world of boxing over 70 years since his last fight against Chester Slider in the mid 1940s. Henry was a world champion in no less than three weight divisions at one time (featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight). He defended his welterweight title a total of nineteen times. Homicide Hank was as the name suggests was a murderous exponent in ring with over 100 professional kos .
#4. "Marvelous" Marvin Hagler is a name synonymous with the Middleweight Title. A true 160lb great so much so that the "Marvellous" one is probably listed as the greatest Middleweight in boxing history by more boxing fans than any other fighter to grace the division.
#3. Jimmy Wilde with a record of 139-4-1-5 of which 99 came by way of ko was a true boxing force. Wilde wasn't the biggest fighter standing in at a slight 5 feet 2 inches but they didn't call him the "The Mighty Atom" for nothing. Wilde was arguably p4p one of boxing's heaviest hitters such was his bad intention behind the gloves he was also known as the "Ghost with the Hammer in his Hand".
#2 . Floyd Joy Mayweather Jr. was born Floyd Joy Sinclair. He is best known as "Money" Mayweather due to the fact he has amassed more dead presidents than any boxer in the history of the sport. With titles in five weight classes and a lineal champion in four weight divisions, twice at welterweight. Floyd "Money " Mayweather definitely owns his name.
#1. Only a Few nicknames/monikers or titles can resonate with such power in any walk of life that the person in question can be recognized and identified without using a birth name. In the sport of boxing only one fighter can truly hold such a designation. "The Greatest" (Muhammad Ali) … What more can I say?

Sanders' final answer is expected by Monday
By Jamison Hensley
Coach Brian Billick confirmed that the Ravens are expecting a final decision from Deion Sanders by Monday on whether the former Pro Bowl cornerback will end his retirement and play for the team this season.
If Sanders is coming back, Ravens officials want him to be ready by the Sept. 12 season opener in Cleveland. That means the 37-year-old defender would need to report by next week, before the team plays its final preseason game Sept. 2.
"Certainly we'd love to have him in," Billick said.
League sources continue to say Sanders is strongly leaning toward ending a three-year layoff to become the Ravens' nickel back (fifth defensive back). He is working out at his home outside of Dallas to test his conditioning.
Asked whether Sanders would play in the preseason finale against the host New York Giants if he reports early next week, Billick said, "That would be our hope."
Among those convinced that Sanders will return is Tom Shaw, his personal trainer. Sanders recently hired Shaw, one of the country's most highly regarded trainers, to intensify his conditioning efforts.
In an interview on Sporting News Radio, Shaw said, "Oh, he's coming back. Just by watching him, he's better than a lot of guys that I've worked with already."
Shaw said he expects Sanders to make his decision after his last round of workouts.
"Deion is going to make that call after we time him [today]," Shaw said. "Then, on Friday, we are going to go through a whole game series and then he'll make that call. If he feels he's ready, then he'll do it."

COPA: Excise Dept. fails to collect Rs. 2.37 bn
A probe by the Committee on Public Accounts (COPA) has revealed that the Excise Department failed to collect Rs. 2.37 billion as tax revenue last year.
The probe conducted by the COPA under the chairmanship of Prof Tissa Vitarana, on Monday, found the total amount of tax arrears due to the Excise Department for more than five years was Rs. 479.9 million as at December 31, 2019 and its delay charge alone amounted to Rs. 1.89 billion making the total outstanding amount Rs. 2.3762 billion .
COPA Chairman Prof. Vitarana ordered that prompt action be taken to recover the arrears.
The Commissioner General of Excise and other officials informed the Committee that legal action had been taken to recover the arrears.
The Committee noted that the Excise Department had conducted 224,737 raids during the last five years, and of them 53,848 were carried out in 2017, 49,278 raids in 2018 and 47,391 raids in 2019.
COPA Chairman Prof. Vitarana highlighted the fact that disciplinary inquiries against 48 Excise officers, suspended for various reasons as at Dec 31, 2019 had not been completed. He pointed that one to three years had elapsed since the suspension of those officers. It was revealed that some of the officers had been suspended for not attending the District Coordinating Committee meetings.
Prof. Vitarana instructed to complete legal proceedings expeditiously. The Chairman emphasised that immediate steps should be taken to fill the vacancies of senior and middle management posts, following proper procedure.
The Committee also noted that the security sticker management process with a procurement cost of Rs. 1,597,559 by November 2020 was limited to imported foreign liquor, which accounted for only 0.28% of the total revenue of the Excise Department. The Committee stressed that it was an essential programme to standardise the local produced liquor as well.
The probe was conducted by COPA chaired by Prof. Vitarana and State Ministers Dayasiri Jayasekara, Lasantha Alagiyawanna, Shehan Semasinghe, and Members Tissa Attanayake, Dr. Upul Galappaththi, Prof. Ranjith Bandara and Secretary to the Treasury and Ministry of Finance S.R. Attygalle. Commissioner General of Excise A. Bodaragama and other senior officials of the Excise Department were also present.

I have heard some amazing things about Tracy Groot's books. After reading The Sentinels of Andersonville, I found out that everything I have heard is true!
Tracy Groot can capture your full attention with her story telling. Instead of describing what is happening, she is able to bring you into the scene with your senses. She is able to show you, let you smell, and taste what is going on with her words. The Sentinels of Andersonville was a part of history and Tracy brought this time back to life.
This story is based on actual people and events. I will say that this story may not be for everyone, especially a young reader. There is the description of death and what happens to a body after a person has died, and treatment of the bodies in a prison camp. There is discussion of starvation and what it does to the body. There is also a couple of words (damn, arse, and hell) used in the story, not in a perverse way, but it it was there. It made what these people dealt with real. I had no problems with any of that in the story, however, I will mention that the topic discussed is one that I have studied, so the morbidness of it all doesn't affect me so much.
This was a very truthful story. It was a story that captured me into it. I will say, I had hoped for the ending to happen another way, but sadly real life doesn't happen the way it does in books, but the ending wrapped everything up well. It gave me a lot to think on and made me want to go find out more about the prison camps of the Civil War, not just in the south, but the north as well.

Pathetic Republicans…
PATHETIC REPUBLICANS, who can save you now? With all due respect to Ming the Merciless and all due deference to Sen. John McCain's pending arrival on a Hawk-man rocket cycle in 2008, the answer is that Republicans can, and are going to have to, save themselves. To do that, what's required is frank acknowledgment that the national majority that brought them to congressional power in 1994 is a thing of the past–no longer there, or no longer theirs.
The wave that gave Republicans control of Congress for the first time in 40 years was truly national in reach and scope. You could see its effect in every region of the country, though of course it was at its strongest in the South, where the last redoubts of the yellow-dog Democrats were being overrun.
The GOP, under the minority leadership of Newt Gingrich and his chief lieutenant, Dick Armey, sought to "nationalize" the '94 election around its Contract With America, a 10-point plan for legislative action in the first 100 days of GOP control of the House. It gave Republican activists something to be for–in addition to what they were against, a government in which Democrats controlled both chambers of Congress and the White House.
The suddenly embattled Democrats portrayed the Contract With America as a document of political radicalism, and their charge gained plausibility thanks to the GOP's own hype celebrating a "Republican Revolution." But the contract was actually a shrewd exercise in coalition politics. Its designers hoped to attract new voters to the GOP by offering a menu of policy proposals that presented a clear alternative to the Democrats and already tested well in polling and focus groups. Moreover, it was decidedly silent on abortion and offered little to nothing explicitly addressing the concerns of social conservatives in the "culture wars." The expectation was that social conservatives would be satisfied with more space for their private gardens thanks to a less intrusive, less taxing federal government.
The GOP victory in 1994 had other important sources. It was a product of the arrogant culture of longtime one-party rule in the House; a Democratic administration more interested in tax hikes, a government takeover of health care, and gays in the military than the centrist agenda Bill Clinton had campaigned on; and a favorable electoral environment featuring numerous open seats, a large freshman class upon which the full advantages of incumbency had yet to settle, and Voting Rights Act-influenced gerrymanders that made suburban districts more GOP-friendly. Still, the contract was the unifying document of the early years of GOP majority: where to look for the answer to the question of what to do next.
The electoral strategy the 1994 results invited was the one Karl Rove successfully exploited in three elections before stumbling badly in the fourth this year: The way to win elections is to find your people and get them to the polls. The premise is that "your people" are out there in sufficient numbers to produce victories, given a technically competent effort to turn them out. You win elections not through conspicuous efforts to reach out to the middle to persuade undecided voters, who probably don't pay much attention to politics anyway. Rather, you focus your efforts on "your people."
The 2004 GOP success with this strategy took Democrats by surprise and delivered George W. Bush a second term. In the run-up to the 2006 election, by contrast, Rove and other GOP optimists spent a lot of time talking about the importance of the coming get-out-the-vote mobilization. Whether they actually believed it or were just blowing smoke in an attempt to keep "bad" from turning to "worse" is an open question. What is not in doubt is that "your people" weren't there, at least not in sufficient numbers. Nancy Johnson, a 12-term moderate from Connecticut, got about 20,000 fewer votes in 2006 than she did in the previous off-year election. Could be a turnout problem, no? But her winning opponent this time got 32,000 more votes than the Democrat Johnson beat in 2002. Johnson lost by more in 2006 than she won by in 2002. That is a problem of which turnout is at most a small part.
In New Mexico, Heather Wilson, whose fate at this writing is undecided, got 10,000 more votes in 2006 than she did in 2002. That's an indication of a superb turnout operation. But her Democratic opponent got about 25,000 more votes this year than her unsuccessful challenger in 2002. If getting out all your voters doesn't amount to 50 percent or more, there are limits to a strategy based on that premise.
Johnson's defeat and Wilson's cliffhanger are also emblematic of the geography of the GOP loss in 2006. Republicans have now been all but wiped out in the Northeast. This is not a sudden development. Beginning with the 1996 election, the GOP tide, as it receded, did so unevenly. The South stayed strong, still recording GOP takeaways from Democrats until this year, but the two coasts and the upper Midwest were becoming much more difficult territory for the GOP. By now, the de-Republicanization of these regions is about complete, and the problem has spread to the high plains, the Midwest, and the noncoastal West, such as Wilson's district in and around Albuquerque.
That more or less leaves the GOP with a majority it has the potential to turn out only in the South. And unless Republicans are content to be a regionally strong minority party, they need to do something different.
What might that be? Well, the first step is to understand that the issue mix in the Contract With America, though it produced an electoral majority in its day, has played itself out. Some of that 1994 agenda has been enacted, such as an end to the welfare entitlement. Some of it has proven impossible to enact even by a GOP-controlled Congress and a Republican president. Some of it, for example the call for term limits, responds to concerns that are simply dated.
As the salience of the Contract issues faded, the GOP congressional majority in the House seemed to turn more and more to the largely symbolic politics of the social issues, conservative identity politics, and the culture wars–the ban on "partial-birth" abor tion, the intervention on behalf of Terri Schiavo, the Defense of Marriage Act and the attempt to amend the Constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman, the limitation of federal funding of stem cell research, and, of course, restrictionist immigration policy.
The GOP stand on these issues is indeed overwhelmingly popular in the South. The ballot initiative banning gay marriage passed with 81 percent of the vote in Tennessee. But to take that very issue, if you look at how similar initiatives fared in other states, you see a much more closely divided electorate (and in Arizona, the initiative seems to have failed). Moreover, the cumulative impression of the GOP congressional posturing in the culture war is that that's all there is. The party has come to be defined as representing the concerns these issues reflect–and little else, or not enough else. That's an environment in which the revelation of Rep. Mark Foley's interest in teenage male pages detonates with maximum impact.
What Republicans need is to be something more than the party of culture war–and tax cutting, of course. You can tap into your base to deliver victory if your base is big enough. The GOP's no longer is. And its right wing is solid. Which means that the only place to go to enlarge it is in the center.
The American electorate is center-right. The core supporters of the GOP are conservative, which constitutes an advantage for the party over Democrats, whose core supporters are liberal or progressive. There are more conservatives. But if the GOP is only a conservative party, in the sense of being no longer able or willing to devise a Contract-With-America-style issue mix whose appeal extends beyond the social conservatism of the South, then it will be a minority party so long as Democrats understand they must appeal to the center. As they did this year, and could do again.

Ernest Sauter  ( – ) was a German composer.

Biography
After early childhood in Munich, his parents moved to Leipzig in 1935. Due to his very conservative family he only was introduced to music of Classical Period and German Romantic Music up to Richard Wagner with the complete lack of contemporary music. The composer Felix Petyrek who gave the young Sauter piano lessons in his home was the first to introduce him to new music. Sauter then joined the famous Thomasschule where the so-called "Bachpflege" as part of his musical lessons sensitized his hearing. At war end in 1945 on the run back to Munich nearly all of his first compositions were destroyed or lost. The composition "Saitenspiel" was one of the few rescued compositions.

In 1947 after passing his university entrance diploma Sauter began studying piano at the Akademie der Tonkunst in Munich. Unfortunately he had to abandon his studies due to financial reasons. He continued taking private piano lessons with Maria Landes-Hindemith where he was introduced to her husband Rudolf Hindemith (of Paul Hindemith's brother) who gave him new motivation to start composing again. Over time this influence was too less progressive and led to a discord based on Hindemiths criticism of the "Musica Viva" concert series founded by Karl Amadeus Hartmann in 1945.

In the late fifties Sauter discovered the ballet genre and joined the Junge Ballett Compagnie (JBC, Deutsches Ballett-Theater, Bonn) where he first did arrangements "Es war eine köstliche Zeit" broadcast by the Bayerischer Rundfunk and instrumentations (Bizet, Jeux d'enfants). Sauter composed his first ballet "Blue Jeans" for the JBC which was broadcast by the Saarländischer Rundfunk The closure of the JBC led to a mental and financial crisis for Sauter which in succession let his self-criticism destroy some of his non published compositions.

In 1965 Sauter got an offer from Yvonne Georgi the head of the ballet at the Staatsoper Hannover to write the music for a new ballet called "Finale". Despite a successful performance the collaboration with Georgi had to end due to her sudden retirement. In 1976 he wrote a quadrophonic scenic music ("Remontage") which had its debut performance at the "Tage der neuen Musik" in Hannover in 1977. The "Requiem für eine Tänzerin" a "Tape Music for Dancers" produced by Germinal Casado followed in 1978 and was a long running great success

Sauter had concerns to be rated solely as a ballet composer. This and his wish to be independent and perhaps also the desire to "be somewhere else" led to the decision to relocate to the South of France. Thanks to the support of his friends, foremost of the conductor  George Alexander Albrecht, Sauter was able to get to work in the solitude and quietness of the Provence without losing the connection to the outside world. There in 1983/84 the first feature-length piece, a ballet "Till Eulenspiegel" based on de Costers novel La Légende d'Ulenspiegle was created. Again a commissioned work for the Staatsoper Hannover. In 1986 Sauter choose Suzette a small village in the Dentelles near Avignon and Orange as new residence. There he composed his first piano concerto ("Concerto Russe") devoted to Gerhard Oppitz who played the debut performance on the occasion of the Tchaikovski year 1993 in Hanover.

The wish to create his own sphere let him organize an annual summer festival called "Festival MUSIQUE D ÉTÉ À SUZETTE" for chamber music ensembles in the small church of Suzette. It was his goal to present not only classical pieces to the interested audience but also pieces of contemporary composers like Penderecki, Ligeti, Schnittke etc. After several years of groundwork Sauter was able to compose own pieces for the festival and have them performed by artists of international reputation. The 3 string trios devoted to and performed by the "Deutsches Streichtrio" and "Verrà La Morte" for soprano and string  quartet performed by Christina Ascher and the Szymanowski-Quartet are vivid examples.

Plenty of Fish – MGTOW
Dating is hard enough even under normal conditions — add the global pandemic into the mix and it gets even trickier. But while COVID has changed the face of dating as we know it, that doesn't mean that you need to put your relationship ambitions on hold. Whether you're searching for a partner who you want to stroll through the park with albeit while staying 6 feet apart or chat for hours with over video chat , an online dating site or mobile dating apps could be the answer. After all, in these times, where better to find deep, meaningful companionship than on the internet? My recommendations are based primarily on my own experiences using online dating sites as a woman, with some word-of-mouth impressions from friends thrown in for good measure. There are lots of good dating website and app options here, whether you're looking to meet new people, find others with shared interests or finally meet your life partner.

Bumble is basically Tinder for women
Match Group, which houses a large portfolio of dating app brands — including most notably, Tinder, Match, and OKCupid — is prepping a notable upgrade to one of its older brands: Plenty of Fish. But it has since remained fairly quiet, in terms of the state of its business, and has been slow to roll out upgrades even as Tinder soared. For starters, POF is gearing up to launch a collection of new features designed to bring its app into the more modern age of dating. In the near future, it will also include the ability to share GIFs in your conversations and add illustrations to photos, like doodles and stickers.
Beyond simply updating the functionality and user experience to stay current and on-trend, the new additions are also meant to offer POF users ways to better personalize their interactions and connect.

This feature comes at a time when singles around the world are asked to rapidly adapt to the new realities of social distancing and isolation, and are faced with exploring new ways to connect.
I'm excited to offer this free feature to our members in the hopes it allows people to have fun and build meaningful relationships virtually, while face-to-face interaction is temporarily limited. By tapping the " LIVE!

Roast Tinder bios where users list their height all you want, but a good portion of us are goddamn thankful for online dating. Plus, it's a helpful step to mitigate the pressure of meeting someone new, especially for introverts. The truth is, not everyone can serendipitously run into the love of their life at the gym. That antiquated mindset continues to be shown up by scholarly research. In fact, two Stanford sociologists found that online dating is officially the most popular way for U.
Julie Spira, dating expert and CEO of cyberdatingexpert. She would know: she's been helping clients find love online since Plus in those days, there was a stigma associated with online dating. You did not tell people you met your spouse, or partner, or even a date online. The rhetoric has clearly come a long way since then, and the digital dating landscape has evolved with people's changing needs. Women were tired of men blowing up their messages with creepy first-liners, so Bumble came along.

Here, we take the biggest alternatives to Tinder and give them a spin to find out what if anything they do differently and what sets them apart. The audience is mostly made up of young straight couples, but the app encourages everyone to join in and gender options are relatively vast for a dating app. Pros: The platform creators care about the safety and privacy of their user base, and have created a respectful community as a result.
The group chat feature is handy, obviously. Safer than many other options on the internet. Cons: Fake profiles abound. Some people might resent the need for Facebook verification. Verdict: Of all the threesome apps on the market, this is the only one to break into the mainstream. The USP: Match. Before Google! Before you even had a computer!
WOLO — Dating seems to have become more difficult, but for many, dating apps have made the dating game a lot easier. It seems like all the singles are on one dating app or another. But now, scams and fake profiles are making those on common dating apps more skeptical. Greenville Police say a few men have become robbery and assault victims after making a date with a woman they found on the dating app Plenty of Fish. They say always meet in a busy public place, tell your friends or family where you are going and check in with them throughout the date; and if the pictures seem too perfect, it probably is.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO)– Dating seems to have become more difficult, but for many, dating apps have made the dating game a lot easier.
By Ian Randall For Mailonline. Dating app Plenty of Fish is taking a stand against singletons using filtered photos in an attempt to promote authenticity and crackdown on catfishing on its platform. Images deemed to be too heavily filtered will now be removed by the matchmaking site as part of its new vetting scheme.
The move comes after a user survey into the pressures of online dating revealed that 84 per cent of singles longed for a more honest experience on the site. Furthermore, more than half of the 2, respondents in the study said that they felt that filtered photos should be prohibited on dating apps and sites altogether. The ability for social media users to alter or enhance their appearance using filters has been made popular by such image-based apps as Instagram and Snapchat.
Dating app Plenty of Fish is taking a stand against filtered user photos in an attempt to promote authenticity and crackdown on catfishing on its platform stock image. The site will now be banning heavily filtered photos in a bid to make its dating experience more authentic. Users with images deemed to be in violation of the new rules will be sent notifications, the site revealed.
The site has million registered users worldwide and attracts four million active users every day. Plenty of Fish is not the only app cracking down on photos at the moment. In April, rival app Bumble announced that it would be using artificial intelligence technology to better detect and intercept unwanted nude images before they can be sent to other users. The views expressed in the contents above are those of our users and do not necessarily reflect the views of MailOnline.
Subscriber Account active since. The online dating app Plenty of Fish has banned photo filters from profiles, saying that many people find the feature "deceptive. Banning filters appears to be rare in the dating app world, though Plenty of Fish's competitors do have their own regulations and guidelines when it comes to photos.

Everyone knows someone who met their "forever person" though online dating — but not all dating sites are created equal. So, which are the best dating apps for ? The Kochava Collective , host of the largest independent mobile data marketplace, crunched the numbers to recommend a few sites based on the number of users. We took a look at all major dating apps in the Google Play and app stores, and then identified five apps that have the most installs within our data set. According to the Kochava Collective, Tinder has the highest number of users.
If you want the most options available, this one is the way to go. On Bumble, women are in control — the ladies are the ones who get to initiate communication. Kochava says most of its users are in the to year-old age range, so it's also good for younger daters. Of the apps profiled by Kochava, this one had the youngest user base after Bumble, with more than half its users coming in under the age of
The woman who contacted us at PIX11 Investigates said she wanted others to learn from her mistake and agreed to be interviewed, though she wanted her identity withheld. Many people have found their match on internet dating sites, but there is clearly potential danger involved when you reveal personal information to strangers. It is one of many sites that are free, with no strings attached. POF claims to have over 10,, members worldwide.
Like most dating sites, POF does not do background checks. One of the men who contacted her was using the name Big Daddy is Here.
Dating app Plenty of Fish is taking a stand against filtered user Facebook is rolling out its first-ever DATING service in the US today that will.
For this reason, POF tends to be a very popular site. The last time I looked more than , users were online. Now, I have to get one thing out of the way. While I have at the time of writing been single for close to 8 months — my core motivation for being on POF was curiosity. I tend to have an opinion about dating sites that would be best served in another blog post. Needless to say, if I had met a women, that would be great — but it was not my core motivator.
As the signup progresses, you are then asked to pick a username because of the sheer volume of users, expect to use random characters — I went with fcgx. One of the more interesting aspects of the site is the lack of screening involved. My profile page was the central point of interest in the beginning. I had heard from others that using older pictures was a problem on the site. I was an offender nonetheless, placing a number of pictures that date back a year or more.
The best dating apps can still help you meet new people, even if the COVID outbreak is still keeping you indoors. Dating apps are adjusting to the new normal by adding video chat features that still help you find potential new relationships. And once you're able to move about freely, other features in these apps can make sure your budding romance continues to grow.
But what separates the best dating apps from the rest of the crowd?

Avengers: Endgame Headlines Videos
AVENGERS: ENDGAME Is Just Over $7 Million Away From Passing AVATAR's Box Office Record
We didn't think it was going to happen but it seems as if Avengers: Endgame is indeed going to pass Avatar's record at the worldwide box office because there's now just over $7 million separating them...
Filed Under: "Avengers: Endgame" Source: Variety
Avengers: Endgame is yet another step closer to finally taking down Avatar at the worldwide box office. While it didn't appear as if the movie would manage to achieve that feat after the re-release failed to generate as much excitement as previously thought, a $2.8 million haul this past weekend has taken the Marvel Studios movie to $2.78 billion worldwide.
As a result, Avengers: Endgame is just $7.16 million behind Avatar's $2.788 billion record which is a paltry amount and a number it should be able to top with ease (especially if the movie gets at least one more re-release at some point in the new month or two).
The Russo Brothers helmed superhero ensemble has earned $851 million in North America and $1.9 billion overseas and it's hard to imagine another movie reaching these heights in the next few years even with the likes of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and Avatar 2 on the horizon.
It's thought that Spider-Man: Far From Home's release is what boosted ticket sales this weekend.

Robert Downey Jr. Improvised A Key Line
Tony Stark and Steve Rogers' reunion is brief but extremely emotional, and we learn that the former is still holding a grudge as he rants at Captain America and brands his former ally a "liar."
"I think that was one of Downey's most inspired performance moments in the movie," Anthony says, confirming that the actor actually improvised that particular moment. "He very much reverts to, this is the guy who felt forsaken by his father – you can see his intimacy and trust issues in that moment when he turns on Cap. Downey performed the scene with a lot of energy. We didn't do it many times, because he was expending himself so, so much. He understood it very well."
Don't Blame Star-Lord For The Snap
"If you're standing in front of your girlfriend's father and find out that he just killed your girlfriend, you're gonna hit him in the face!" argues Markus when asked whether fans really should blame Star-Lord for Thanos wiping out trillions of lives.
"I just think it's totally emotionally understandable, particularly when you add in the scene where [Quill] was supposed to kill her," McFeely agrees, pointing out the failings of the other heroes. "[Star Lord] is one of many reasons why they don't win. All you've got to do is cut his head off – Thor's at fault. Tony and Steve, if they got along there's a good chance. There's a lot of blame to go around."
How The 2014 Version Of Thanos Differs
Asked how the past version of Thanos differs to the 2018 version who is beheaded by Thor, Anthony explains that he was dubbed "Warrior Thanos, the version of the character before he put down his armour and became enlightened and wanted to search for the stones."
"He's angrier – it might be his flaw in the film, that he's a little bit more precocious and self-confident, not quite as enlightened." As for how the writers view the 2014 Mad Titan, Markus adds: "He is, oddly for all the damage he does in Infinity War, a mellowed-out, philosophical Thanos. And we wanted the warlord in this movie, who hasn't quite worked out all the nuances yet."
Why Thor Reunited With Frigga Instead Of Jane Foster
When Thor returns to Asgard circa 2013, he has an emotional reunion with his mother, Frigga - but why didn't we get to see him interact with Natalie Portman's Jane Foster? According to McFeely it boils down to the fact that "it wasn't a romantic relationship he needed to repair."
Markus agrees: "He had some Jane Foster time in one draft. But that didn't seem like his issue. He's reduced to a childlike state in his cabin over there in Norway, and he needed advice from his mom, basically. Someone needs to go, 'You're OK. You're a f*ck-up, and you're OK."
The "Thanus" Theory
Before Avengers: Endgame was released, a very unique theory started doing the rounds online asking why Ant-Man couldn't travel up Thanos' butt and expand from the inside, killing the Mad Titan in the process. This got so much attention that even cast members addressed it, but there's a very good reason why it wasn't include...aside from it being completely ridiculous, of course!
"Thanos could take a punch from the Hulk, we've seen that. And it stands to reason his whole body is at least as strong as that," Markus explains. "If Ant-Man expanded, he would be simply crushed against the immovable walls of Thanos' mighty rectum." There's an image we won't be getting out of our head this weekend...
"The Snap" Wasn't A Cliffhanger
Marvel Studios kept us all hooked for an entire year as we waited for Avengers: Endgame to be released, but the movie's writers don't necessarily believe Infinity War ended on a cliffhanger.
"Heroes lose all the time at the end of act two, and it usually lasts five minutes and then they're back out of it. We didn't want to do that," McFeely explains. "It seemed like a cheat. People accuse that first movie of being a cliffhanger, but I'll go to my grave saying it's a tragedy. A cliffhanger implies that you're going to resolve it quickly, and we did not want to do that."
"What If?" Comics Inspired The Time Jump
We know that a What If? animated series is coming to Disney+, but McFeely reveals that those comic books inspired the "Five Years Later" time jump that introduced a very different version of the heroes.
"By jumping five years, you get to have 'What if Tony got married and lived happily ever after?'; 'What if Hulk became basically the only super-hero and was smart?'; 'What if Cap seemed like he might want to give up?'; 'What if Natasha never left the house and was the last woman on the wall?'; 'What if Thor became a fat drunk?'," he says.
"That was the idea to do that, but not as What If – keep the stakes. That all happened, it's all part of canon."
A Subtle But Genius Change
Here's something you'll be keeping an eye out for when you watch the movie again. Apparently, once Avengers: Endgame moves into the future, the movie's visuals change to reflect that.
"At 'Five Years Later', you'll notice it gets a lot bluer, cooler tones. We wanted a more depressive mood," Joe reveals. "The intention was to let the characters and the audience feel the effects of Infinity War, and then slowly transition into a different tone – you'll notice the movie starts to get funny around Hulk and the diner, where the tone is becoming hopeful again."
The Thinking Behind Stan Lee's Cameo
Avengers: Endgame features Stand Lee's final cameo in the MCU and he appears as a younger version of himself back in 1970. As you might expect, his appearance is based on photos of him from the time. "We had particular nostalgic fun with this cameo because we were going to the past," explains Anthony.
"We started to look at old photos – our visual effects team is so fluent with de-ageing techniques," he continued, confirming that VFX was used for the scene. "We allowed ourselves to become very inspired and excited by old images of Stan. It was great fun."
Iron Man's Scrapped Trip To Asgard
One the filmmakers decided to focus on a time heist, they just had to decide which movies to revisit. It sounds like Thor: The Dark World was settled on quickly, but an earlier version of the movie would have featured Iron Man paying a visit to the God of Thunder's home.
"Technically in Thor: The Dark World, the Tesseract is in the vault as the Aether is also there," says McFeely. "So that sent Tony to Asgard, and he had an invisible stealth suit, and he fought Heimdall, who could of course see him. I think Joe [Russo] went in and said, 'Why don't we go in to Avengers? It's the biggest movie, it's the most fun, let's go.'"
Why Thanos Has Less Screentime
Thanos was the main character in Avengers: Infinity War but he takes a back seat in Endgame. "It's definitely an Avengers movie, where the other one wasn't," McFeely reasons when asked to provide an explanation. "We had to give ourselves permission to backseat the villain a little bit. I don't think anyone in the first half of the movie is going, 'Oh I wish there was a villain'. You're rolling around in the loss and the time heist, and you think it's sort of Avengers against nature."
Black Widow's Redemption
We know that Hawkeye was originally going to be the one to take the plunge on Vormir, but Joe has now elaborated on the decision for it to be Black Widow instead. "Natasha is fascinating because she used to be a villain. It's not something you've seen on screen before, but she had a life prior to this that was the wrong life," he says.
"The character had their identity stripped away and was turned into an assassin, then found a new family through her membership in the Avengers. It just seemed an incredibly heroic choice for her to make knowing that she had to sacrifice herself to preserve the future and the family." He also notes that Natasha is ultimately the better fighter so she would always beat Clint.
Dead Characters Will Not Be Rebooted
If you're expecting a new Tony Stark to show up in the MCU somewhere down the line, guess again. "It's the nature of the MCU," argues Markus. "It's not a place where you can reboot one and suddenly Iron Man is 15 years old and everyone else is still the same age. The characters have to pass out, and the universe has to still stand."
"So if you're going to take people off the board, they've got to go for real," he continues. "Granted, these are movies. I understand that somebody has made some kind of announcement that has the word 'Vision' in it, so I mean..." That's a reference to WandaVision, but there are many ways an android can return.
Why They Didn't Kill Captain America
We all went into Avengers: Endgame expecting Captain America to die, but he instead gets a very different sort of ending. "Once you kill a beloved character like [Tony], you've got to have hope at the end of the movie in some regard, and the only person to give you that hope is the other co-lead," Joe explains.
"Had we killed both the leads, I feel like people would have been walking out into traffic after the film. The intention is not to destroy people, it's to hopefully tell a complex and dimensionalised story in a way, that makes them feel a varied range of emotion." That ultimately makes perfect sense.
How Endgame Changes Infinity War's Ending
Doctor Strange reveals that there's only one possible future where The Avengers will defeat Thanos, and McFeely has now pointed out a moment in Infinity War that now takes on a very different light.
"Cumberbatch takes a really long pregnant pause. And now that you know that he's looking ahead to Endgame and Tony dying, and he says, 'One', you will only read it as, 'You have to die – there's no other way.'" It's pretty grim to think he knew that Iron Man would ultimately die, and it will be interesting to see what sort of fallout, if any, there is from that.
Why Iron Man Didn't Have Any Last Words
After telling Thanos "I Am Iron Man," Tony Stark doesn't get any emotional last words and instead says a silent goodbye to Spider-Man, War Machine, and Pepper. "Robert was like, 'I'm not going to say f*cking anything. I don't want to talk, because it doesn't feel honest to me," Joe reveals. "And I don't think in that moment that he'd have the ability to speak.'"
"He was like, 'I'm going to lay here, and you can let it unfold with the other characters, but I'm going to barely interact because that feels like a truthful choice to me.'" The directors agreed and Anthony adds: "To have a character in that much pain, on the verge of death, it was important for us to create the feeling that when you looked at Tony Stark in that moment, you knew he was dying, and you had to process that in that moment."
An Alternate Take On The Portals Scene
Apparently, an earlier version of Avengers: Endgame put that big Portals scene in a very different part of the movie. "They snapped it, and bam – everyone's there, and then Thanos attacked," explains Markus. "It was fine, but the way it is currently makes it feel like the movie's not done. If you resolve it, then it's just a skirmish afterwards. But because you have not completed the primary task – everybody is not back yet – it still feels like there's a lot in the balance."
Captain America Lifting Mjolnir Was Kevin Feige's Plan
If you want to credit anyone for Captain America lifting Mjolnir, it's Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige. "I'm sure it was probably in Kevin's mind well before [Ultron], which is why he probably asked Joss to include something like that," Joe says. "At some point he wanted to see Cap worthy."
"But it's one of those things that you can only pay off with 10 years of storytelling behind it," the filmmaker continues. "To know everything that Cap has gone through, and to see who he is as a character and all the choices that he's made, he is worthy. Even though he's made mistakes, which is I think fascinating – even in Civil War when he admits to Tony that he withheld the truth from him, it doesn't alter the fact that he's worthy."
A New Thor
While we've heard for a while now that it was always the plan for Thor to retain his new look, it sounds like we can forget about him getting back in shape by the next time we see him.
"The end of Thor's journey is not simply a return to who he was before he became depressed," Anthony confirms. "The end of Thor's journey is the arrival at a new state of understanding of himself and his world. He's yet another character moving forward. The idea of simply changing him back I think undermined the idea that that's not who Thor is anymore."
A Secret Wars Homage
Ever since Avengers: Endgame was released, fans have wondered whether The Hulk holding up the Avengers Compound while it collapses around him could be a nod to a certain comic book.
Well, Secret Wars mega fan Joe has now confirmed that it is "one hundred percent" a reference to the comic panel and now we just have to hope him and Anthony one day get to adapt the whole thing.

Finding the Nexus between Students' Profiles and Attitude towards ESP: The Case of Vietnamese Medical Students Purposes (Published)
Article Author: Tran Thi Loan
The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between students' profile and their attitude in learning English as a foreign language. The respondents were 82 second year undergraduate students studying medicine at Thaibinh University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Vietnam. The research instrument is a Likert questionnaire including two parts: Bio Data and Attitude towards ESP. The study was basically a quantitative research utilizing the descriptive-correlational method and SPSS software to describe and investigate the relationship between students' select profile variables and their attitude towards English for Specific Purposes (ESP). The findings from this study illustrated that there is a significant relationship between Thaibinh medical students' attitude towards ESP and their mothers' education, number of years of studying English, grades in EGP (English for General Purposes) and ESP and native language. Findings also revealed that the profile variables not related to the students' attitude towards ESP are fathers' educational attainment and sex.

The study subjects were children with RHD aged 3 to 15 years, in total, Eighty four children (28 boys and 56 girls) with RHD were enrolled. Consecutive sampling was done. Data was collected in a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Genstat discovery. From the study findings, most new patients presented in NYHA class 3 and 4. Mitral regurgitation alone was the commonest lesion, followed by mitral regurgitation + aortic regurgitation. New patients had echocardiographic evidence of severe valvular disease and complication implying late presentation. Since most of the new patients had severe disease at diagnosis, emphasis should be put on early detection and primary prevention

TEMPE, AZ (3TV / CBS5) – It has been a very emotional day for the relatives of a 14-year-old boy shot to death by a Tempe police officer last week.
"I do not want this to anyone or any family," said the teenager's brother, Jason.

On Tuesday, January 15, 2019, police said officers reported seeing Arce stealing a car and escaped holding what appeared to be a gun. During the persecution, the police say that he turned to the officers and one of them fired at him. He died in a hospital. The pistol turned out to be a soft air pistol that, according to the police, was taken out of the car. (Photo courtesy of Jason Gonzalez via AP)

About 200 participants marched down the same alley where Antonio fled the officer. Many protesters carried candles and signs that said "Justice for Antonio".
The march ended in the exact place where Antonio died.
His mother placed a flower in the place where his son fell when he was shot. She seemed overcome by emotion while being comforted by her loved ones.
"She's not even okay," Jason said of his mother. "" I am not going to lie. She is very hurt. "
The march ended in the exact place where Antonio fell when he was shot. The participants then threw hundreds of white balloons into the air.

Antonio was shot by a Tempe officer last week near 48th Street and Baseline.
The officer believed that the young suspect had a gun, but it turned out to be a soft air pistol. The suspect was fleeing from the officer when the officer fired twice.
"He ran because he was afraid," said his brother. "I heard witnesses say he was screaming:" Oh my God, oh my God! "& # 39;
Antonio was taken to the hospital but was later pronounced dead.
On Friday, Tempe police released part of the video from the incident camera.

Tempe police chief Sylvia Moir spoke on Friday about the incident and expressed her "deepest condolences to the young man's family."
"The loss of his life is tragic," he said.

Moir described the shooting as "a rapidly evolving incident with the Tempe police officer," which developed minutes after the initial call.
Moir identified Officer Jaen, a 14-year veteran of the Tempe Police Department, as the officer involved in the incident.
Moir said Officer Jaén yelled at the suspect to show him his hands as he began to chase him. Police say Officer Jaen shot the teenager in the back.
"At some point, Officer Jaén fired two shots from his service weapon, one of those rounds hit the suspect in the area of the scapula," Moir said.
The teenager was taken to the hospital where he later died.
Jaén is on administrative leave while an investigation into the incident is being conducted.

Moir has asked the public to "withdraw the trial" on the case until the investigations are concluded.
"We will fight until there is justice," said Antonio's brother.

Osborne's 'Disabled' parking disgrace
How low can this man go?
He uses taxpayers' money to make £1 million for himself by buying a farmhouse and associated land in Cheshire, using public funds to pay the mortgage interest, then selling it for around twice the original price and pocketing the cash.
He buys a standard train ticket, then is caught travelling in First Class.
Now this. After spending three years pummelling the sick and disabled people of the United Kingdom, this arrogant little brat steals one of their parking spaces.
Does this man have no shame at all?
Gideon was famously a member of Oxford University's restaurant-smashing Bullingdon Club. He got into Oxford on a 'demyship' – a special kind of scholarship for "poor scholars of good morals and dispositions, fully equipped for study".
Poor? He's the millionaire son of Sir Peter Osborne, 17th Baronet, who co-founded the firm of fabric and wallpapers designers Osborne & Little.
His morals speak for themselves.

Surely Mike you mean his LACK of Morals?!
aturtle05 April 5, 2013 at 12:10 pm
If you look at the picture in all it's glory on the Daily Mirror site, you might see that the parking space on the other side of the entrance being used is NOT restricted. This would have given easier access to the car for Mr Osborne, so therefore, no excuse!

I once parked in a disabled slot at Sainsbury's and forgot to display my Blue Badge and got a ticket. I paid the fine because I figured it was my own stupid fault. I wonder if Gormless George got a ticket. Would he pay it? Would he charge it to expenses (read taxpayers)? Would he claim he had some sort of privilege to park where he wanted to i.e. he was above the law? (A bit like Jack Straw when his chauffeur was found speeding).
We're definitely NOT 'all in it together'. We're in it (the s**t) but they live on a different planet.
Bill Garnett April 5, 2013 at 3:55 pm
any chance the word 'poor' could refer to the poverty of his intellect rather than financial poverty??
Mike Sivier April 5, 2013 at 5:03 pm
I really want to say yes. However, Oxford isn't known for opening its doors to dunces.
Maybe he is academically clever but it's just in the real world that he's lacking?
Jj April 5, 2013 at 3:57 pm
Don't worry George. We've drafted some emergency legislation to rebrand the disabled parking bay icon. It retroactively means "for MPs only".

Did you have the opertunity to watch C4 news tonight about 19.30pm? I have not laughed so much in ages, yon kid was succinct and to the point. There may be hope yet.

This guy must know something seriously dangerous about Mr. Cameron's past to have been able to last this long! Maybe it's got something to do with all that drug taking that Dave the Rave has consistently refused to discuss openly with the media?
Mike Sivier April 6, 2013 at 1:22 am
I think we all know Osborne's had his face in white powder of some description in his time; does Cameron really have a shady background? Truth will out…
barbastelle April 7, 2013 at 7:41 pm
He probably KNEW this was likely to make the news, and it's his way of sticking his middle finger up at us all.

I'm with Ian Gillingham, the interviewee on Chanell 4 news got it right in saying, we'll there might just be something disabled about George Osborn! It made me laugh anyway 🙂
