The UN's political chief on Sunday condemned anti-Muslim violence that has targeted mosques and businesses in Sri Lanka as he wrapped up a three-day visit to the Indian Ocean island-nation.
Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman urged the government to bring the perpetrators of the violence and hate speech to justice.
Feltman, who met with Muslim leaders to show solidarity during his visit, "condemned the breakdown in law and order and the attacks against Muslims and their property," a UN statement said.Sri Lanka has been rocked by a week of violent riots by Sinhalese mobs who have attacked 11 mosques and at least 200 Muslim-owned businesses, prompting the government to declare a state of emergency.
Three people have been killed and 20 wounded in the anti-Muslim attacks. On Sunday a Muslim-owned restaurant was targeted in the town of Anamaduwa, north of the capital Colombo.
Sri Lankan police have been accused of failing to protect the island's minority.Muslims make up 10 percent of Sri Lanka's 21 million people. The majority are Sinhalese, a largely Buddhist ethnic group.
President Maithripala Sirisena announced Saturday that he will appoint a three-member panel of retired judges to investigate the unrest.
A curfew was lifted in the central district of Kandy, the epicentre of the violence, but soldiers remained on the streets.
Feltman met with Sirisena, the prime minister, civil society and human rights representatives during the three-day visit that was scheduled before the outbreak of violence.The envoy expressed hope that an office of missing persons will be set up soon to determine the fate of those unaccounted for from the brutal 25-year war against Tamil Tiger rebels.
"He expressed concern that many elements of the government's visionary 2015 program seem stalled, despite their importance to sustainable peace, security and prosperity in Sri Lanka," said the statement.
Feltman said he received assurances from government leaders that they are moving forward with democratic reforms.

Jean-Marc Brocard established himself in the village of Préhy, just to the south-west of Chablis, in 1973, shortly after marrying a vigneron's daughter from St-Bris. Today the domaine, a mix of their own property and long-term farming contracts, covers 200 hectares, while Jean-Marc has handed over day-to-day responsibilities to his son Julien and son-in-law Frédéric Gueguen. Julien has been instrumental in converting the vineyards to biodynamic principles.
Since the beginning, Jean-Marc Brocard was committed to a healthier culture, respectful of its environment. In 1997, a first plot of 11 hectares of Chablis was grown organically and with biodynamic practices.
Today, that has grown to 60 hectares certified organic farming and 40 biodynamic hectares. This makes Domaine Jean-Marc Brocard one of the first organic Chablis and Burgundy wine producers.

Chief Minister of Telangana K Chadrasekhar Rao has dedicated the Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project to the nation.
During a function hosted at the project site last week, the Chief Minister along with Governor ESL Narasimha Rao, CM of Andhra Pradesh YS Jagan Mohan Reddy & Maharashtra CM Devendra Phadnavis commissioned Phase I of the project.
The Rs. 80,500 crore multi-purpose project is planned to provide water to 45 lakh acres agriculture land that covers a stretch of around 1,832 km apart from fulfilling drinking water requirements in the state.

The project has 20 water lifts & 19 pump houses with water from the Godavari at Medigadda, 100 meters below sea level, would be lifted in 6 stages & supplied to Kondapochamma Sagar that is at a height of 618 metres above sea level. Large pumps of 139 mw capacity each have been set up to lift two TMC feet of water on daily basis.
The Medigadda pumping station underground, in a chain of total twenty pumping stations of this lift irrigation project, is amongst the biggest pumping stations set up in the project. MD, MEIL, PV Krishna Reddy told to the dignitaries about the unique features of the project.
The Medigadda pump house has been made in 18 months in such a way that every unit with a capacity of 40 MWs could lift 60 cusecs of water. It has been built 91 meters above the Godavari River with a total water lifting capacity of 660 cusecs. As part of the 1st phase, 11 units with a total capacity of 440 MWs will start functioning.

Kim Kardashian Agrees to Pay $1.26 Million to US SEC for Unlawful Crypto Promotion on Social Media
Kim Kardashian has agreed to pay $1.26 million (nearly Rs. 10 crore) to settle Securities and Exchange Commission charges that she promoted a cryptocurrency on Instagram without disclosing that she'd been paid $250,000 (nearly Rs. 2 crore) to do so.
The SEC said Monday that the reality TV star and entrepreneur has agreed to cooperate with its ongoing investigation.
The SEC said Kardashian failed to disclose that she was paid to publish a post on her Instagram account about EMAX tokens, a crypto asset security being offered by EthereumMax.
Kardashian's Instagram post contained a link to the EthereumMax website, which provided instructions for potential investors to purchase EMAX tokens.
"The federal securities laws are clear that any celebrity or other individual who promotes a crypto asset security must disclose the nature, source, and amount of compensation they received in exchange for the promotion," Gurbir Grewal, director of the SEC's division of enforcement, said in a prepared statement.
Kardashian has agreed to not promote any crypto asset securities for three years.
"Kim Kardashian is pleased to have resolved this matter with the SEC. Kardashian fully cooperated with the SEC from the very beginning and she remains willing to do whatever she can to assist the SEC in this matter. She wanted to get this matter behind her to avoid a protracted dispute. The agreement she reached with the SEC allows her to do that so that she can move forward with her many different business pursuits," a lawyer for Kardashian said in an email.
While Kardashian is well known for reality TV, currently appearing on The Kardashians on Hulu, she is also a successful businesswoman. Her brands include SKIMS, which has shapewear, loungewear and other products, and a skincare line called SKKN.
Cryptocurrency has attracted increasing attention from Congress. A bipartisan proposal last month would hand the regulatory authority over Bitcoin and Ether, two popular cryptocurrencies, to the Commodities Futures Trading Commission after wild swings in crypto valuations, dozens of scams and hundreds of billions of dollars gained and lost.
Kardashian is not the first celebrity to attract the attention of regulators for their involvement in cryptocurrency. In 2018, the agency settled charges against professional boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr and music producer DJ Khaled for failing to disclose payments they received for promoting investments in digital currency.
This year, crypto investors have seen prices plunge and companies crater with fortunes and jobs disappearing overnight, and some firms have been accused by federal regulators of running an illegal securities exchange.

Local governments scrambling to find solution for household recyclables
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — Cities and counties across America are wondering what to do with the mountains of recycling material we leave at the curbside each week.
Much of the paper and plastic American households recycle used to be sent to China for processing, but at the end of 2017, China stopped accepting nearly all of those materials because they weren't clean enough.
"We'd been sending shipments that were 30 – 40% contaminated. They set a limit of about 0.5%, which is just not possible to meet," Cooper Martin explained.
Martin, the director of Sustainability and Solutions at the National League of Cities' Center for City Solutions, says China was the single largest consumer of recyclable materials generated by the United States.
Now, local governments are scrambling to find new ways to dispose of those materials without going broke in the process.
"Some communities are putting some of their materials in the trash," Martin added. "That's really a short-term step until they figure out how and they can educate their residents."
Joe Pickard, chief economist and director of commodities at the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc., says China's policy changes made some recycling programs more expensive and harder for some communities to afford.
"As China has purchased less and less of recycled commodities, recyclers have had to find different homes for that material," he explained. "That makes it less economically viable to sell them, and so it raises the costs for recycling."
Solving the problem will take time, but Americans can help right now by learning new recycling habits such as doing more to clean and sort their recyclables.
"Start to figure out how we can separate these materials domestically before we need to send them to overseas markets," Martin added.
Martin says investment in domestic recycling programs will also help.
"Industry is stepping up," he said. "They are making investments in mills this side of the ocean and in a couple of years, those are going to come online."

PMB Declines Assent To Digital Rights Bill
by Jeremiah
The pan-African digital rights advocacy organization, Paradigm Initiative, has expressed disappointment over the decision of President Muhammadu Buhari to decline assent to the Digital Rights and Freedom Bill, saying "the refusal of the President to sign the Bill is a huge setback for human rights online in Nigeria."
It would be recalled that the Bill was transmitted to the President on February 5, 2019, by the National Assembly. In a letter read on the floor of the Senate on today, the president conveyed his decision to decline his assent to the bill, saying the Bill "covers too many technical subjects and fails to address any of them extensively."
The group has promised to continue to work on getting the Bill passed into law. Speaking on the development, the Executive Director of Paradigm Initiative, 'Gbenga Sesan said, "work will continue on the Digital Rights and Freedom Bill in Nigeria, and in other countries where Paradigm Initiative is now working with partners on the adoption of similar positive rights legislation."
"We would like to make it clear that the efforts of our coalition on the Bill are not a lost cause. Although the President's refusal to assent the bill is a setback, we are currently liaising with our partners towards a strategy to take this work forward. At stake is the state of human rights online in Nigeria, which is too important to abandon, and which we have dedicated ourselves to protect," Sesan added.
The group also acknowledged the President's willingness to sign a bill focused on "the protection of human rights within the digital environment," and vowed to work with the national assembly and other stakeholders to make this a reality.
While commenting on the development, Paradigm Initiative's Program Manager, Boye Adegoke said, "We also acknowledge the role that certain stakeholders played including the role of a government agency that premised their opposition to the Bill on the fact that some of Bill's provisions are currently the subjects of various National Assembly Bills. We consider it strange that assent was denied to a Bill on the ground that its provision could conflict with proposed laws that have not been passed by the national assembly. "
The Digital Rights and Freedom Bill makes provision for the protection of human rights online and has been praised by experts for its forward-looking provisions on human rights and its potential to help protect users of digital tools.

Modi Justifies Centre's Triple Talaq Stance
Poorvi Gupta
PM Narendra Modi on Monday spoke about the discrimination against Muslim women in their religion and at the same time raised the issue of female foeticide in the Hindu community, TOI reported.
Addressing a Maha Parivartan Rally in the Bundelkhand region in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh, Modi said, "Now the issue of talaq has come up. Just like if any Hindu commits female foeticide, he will have to go to jail, similarly what is the crime of my Muslim sisters that someone says talaq over phone and her life is destroyed."
"Female foeticide is a sin. So what if the sinner is a Hindu? My government has taken a number of steps (to stop this practice). Daughters, mothers, sisters should be protected. One should not consider religion. Mothers and sisters should be respected. We have raised the issue firmly," he said expressing concern over the high rate of girl child deaths among Hindus.

Modi went on to request the media not to turn this issue into a communal or political one. He also justified the Centre's position on Triple Talaq, saying that its stand in Supreme Court is against any atrocities on women and that it is gender-based. While pointing out gender discrimination, he also asked the audience if Muslim women should be given equal rights or not.
"In democracy, there should be discussion. The government has put forward its position. Those who want to digress from triple talaq are instigating people…in the country, lives of Muslim women cannot be allowed to be ruined by triple talaq," he said.

In his speech, he clearly demarcated the difference between politics and equal rights for Muslim women. He said that it is the government's duty to ensure equality to Muslim women in the country.
He urged the prime time debates to be held among Muslim intellectuals who have actually read the 'Quran' and are progressive enough to call out the inequality rather than putting spokespersons of the government and the opposition on air to discuss it. He reiterated the fact that India is a democracy and that every decision will be taken after discussion. The government has put forth its position against Triple Talaq and is now waiing for the SC's decision.

Since medieval times people have sung carols using holly and ivy as a metaphor for Jesus and Mary. Holly is often called "Christ's thorn," and early Christian writers wrote often of the symbolism of holly and ivy representing Jesus and the Virgin Mary. The famous Christmas carol we know, though it was written down in the 19th century, has roots a thousand years back in England.
This mug celebrates that tradition, and allows you to drink your morning coffee while bringing music into your day as well - it's sure to delight musicians as well as history enthusiasts who will recognize the holly decorations as being traditional Tudor holiday decor.

MUTILIES'S TOYS OF THE BIG WAR
This article looks like very long but it seems to me essential for the history, and I think that this modest toys deserved to be placed under " Limelight "
This is a new edition revised and largely augmented.
In the catalogs of toys of french " Grands Magasins " , between the two world wars, it is often stated of " Toys made with the Disabled ex-service men ". On this subject, we propose you a very wide extract of Mr Edmond POTTIER's article, in the rare buletin published in 1916 by " L'Art français Moderne " (The Modern French Art ).:
« Is it well the hour of occcuper of toys? When millions people cut one another's throats, when bereavements press on so many hearts, when the mothers cry, what irony to think of the means to amuse the children !
« Let us answer at first this objection of feeling by a reason of feeling. The child, with the smile and the big confident eyes, does not he have to stay except the sadnesses which besiege us ? Moreover, is not it the one who consoles all the sorrows ? The cheerfulness guarantees our force.
.« Let us give also reasons of professionalism and current events: toys are a business which lives, in these difficult hours, many women and wounded persons, which feeds number of underprivileged artists whose hideous distress hides from the eyes of the world. The toy, finally, is an element of our industrial activity
« That's why the " Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs " ( Central Union of Decorative Arts ) took, in full war, the initiative to organize an exhibition of toys in " Pavillon de Marsan ".
« Toys divide into two different categories : there is a toy for the children and, have no fear to say it, there is a toy for the grown-ups. I understand those wich are intended to stay between the hands of the small and to amuse them, that they are sold expensive or cheap; the others are considered as objects of luxury, objects of art to be put in shop window, acquired by amateurs or collectors. Both industry should be encouraged and get profits important for our country, but it is clear that they obey preoccupations and different rules..
Let us take charge of the childish toy. It is the most interesting, it represents the most plentiful production. But here, do not we have another to distinguish two series ?
1 ° the popular toy made in very cheap to be sold in the small boutiques and the general stores, accessible to the most modest purses.
2 ° the rich toy intended for the easy classes, whom, without reaching the prices for the objects of collection, arrives at a rate allowing the use of more beautiful materials and the competition of more skillful workers. All these different categories, we found them in the exhibition ......
« But in this set, the palm returns without hesitation to " l'Atelier des Soldats Mutilés de la Guerre " ( Workshop of the Soldiers Mutilated by the War ) that steers Mr Lebourgeois, assisted by Mrs Jaulmes and Rapin. The Union of Decorative arts reserved it a place of honor, the " Salon Carré " which the guest reaches at the end of walk:
« In the hall where the day falls sieved by skillful ceilings materials, under a portico supported with elegant lacquered small columns, the eye perceives at first as an aviary of multicolored birds: macaws, cockatoo, parrots of any nuances, where the dark overalls, the clear azures, yellow lively, the burning red, the soft pink get involved and collide, black swans and white gooses, small emerald green ducks or old golden, spreading their brilliant or burning, smooth or ruffled plumages. Opposite, it is the fantastic army of elephants, gone up on roulettes, which align in massive battalions their armoured backs .
The Union of Decorative Arts at the Workshop has reserved a place of honor, the "Square Room" which the visitor reaches the end of walk ....
Here nature did not impose its rules on the manufacturer: red, green, blue, black, yellow, it is the complete range of the colours which deceives on these sturdy animals, of which funny heaviness and the small roguish eye form a delicious contrast where the art of the decorator finds to exercise.
In the centre, here is an ornamental lake, made with an mirror where are sparkling rows of ducks and of oisillons; on the lawn of green herb which surrounds it wide sheets are sowed) where run gigantic lady-birds, whose size grows shouts of surprise to the children who anticipates in the entour. In the embrasures of windows, small bedrooms are arranged: served tables, tea parties, sideboards stocked with earthenware, small armchairs wait for the young dinner guests,... until the cuckoo which beats hour in a corner.
« It is a fair for the eyes that these sets where the private life of the childhood is presented under an aspect of gaiety and healthy elegance. And we do not have to forget here the social and moral reach of the work. Behind these fresh toys, behind these graceful images of happy and exuberant childhood, we know what there is « A whole hospital of wounded persons, maimed persons, who, having made for the homeland the hard sacrifice of their sufferings and their mutilations, saw each other rejected in the life, without profession, without resssources.
Brave and charitable souls were moved; they created this workshop which the " Union Centrale " took under its protection, they provided in the rehabilitation of all these unfortunates, they made artists of them, skillful decorators, under the behaviour of the excellent bosses whom we named. How not to be touched by this beautiful and generous initiative ? How not to admire the unhoped-for results which are owed to her ?..... Let us buy these toys made with the hands of French wounded persons, by thinking that they are hands wichwielded the rifle or fired the cannon of the Marne, Yser, Champagne, the Somme and Verdun.
« A sort of subsidiary of this moving institution found place in a room nearby. They are the wooden Arabic toys cut and painted, executed by " les Ateliers de Mutilés " of the city Alger, supervised by Mr Herzig. Silhouettes are there happy, the colours very funny, and give an exact ideaa of the picturesque realities in which the African region is so rich. »
This long and magnificent presentation of the Workshop of the War mutilated is pulled from a rare book published by " L'Art Français Moderne "( Artistes et Editeurs Français ). Compound of various articles on the french toy during the Big War, this one was drafted in 1916.
This impulse for the benefit of the big disabled persons of time was strong enough and porter of hope so that we find, in the course of the various " Catalogues d'Etrennes des Grands Magasins " ( catalogs of New Year's gifts of Department stores ), numerous toys of this same workshop , and it, to after 1935.
So, the big french stores as " Les Galeries Lafayette ", " Le Printemps " or " Le Bon Marché " did not hesitate to save themself the exclusivity of a chamber or a dining room. The others as " Le Louvre " or " La Samaritaine " ordered also for holidays some of these charming toys which were so made during about twenty years.
It seems although these disappeared gradually when disappeared the wounded persons themselves, the last ones of them having been flooded in the second big conflict which ravaged again Europe from 1939
At last, this article could not close without evoking the warlike toys.
Did these big mutilated make it a lot ? often? It acted probably of intimate, punctual realizations, to exorcise horror or to realize recollection. Certainly... There was, little certainly, but listed, in collections of toys, such this English tank, male - because bearer of two artillery, " LE STUPEFIANT " ( "STUNNING" ),
We present you under two different angles. Dressed in the camouflage "Champagne", it was baptized " Crème de Menthe " ( Cream of Mint ) by the soldiers. What has to be the lid opened with the turret informs us very completely about its manufacture. Very moving toy ...... (1)
Let us note that, from 1945 and before the end of this last conflict, " Les Arts Décoratifs " organized in this same pavilion named " Pavillon de Marsan " ( in Louvre-Museum ), a new and very important demonstration otherwise of toys, at least around dolls and around fashion !
SMALL HISTORIC (2)
There were numerous and various organizations or war works. Nevertheless, among these, " it is advisable to make a wide place for the Workshops of the Mutilated, which have a strong part in the renovation of the French toy. One taught them to make toys to earn the keep by giving of the enjoyment to the children... The most important of these workshops was created by François Carnot, avenue Montespan. It took such an extension as it became a beautiful factory.
The " Jouet de France " presents the type of the modern factory and model. It is established in the gates of Paris, at the end of Puteaux's bridge, in the picturesque landscape of this suburb which blends trees, prairies, huts with the suburban streetcars and with the long smoky chimneys of the industrial factories. It is a big and pretty building in reinforced concrete, in walls ingeniously decorated, similar to a nef of cathedral without limping, with buttresses and artistic gargoyles....
All the staff is consisted of mutilated by the great war. The workers are distorted, amputated with an arm, with a leg, with a hand. Circulating in workshops pressed on two crutches, Mister Matthieussent, wounded person to Saint Mihiel in September, 1914, steers these people who are organized in cooperative. In a pretty dining hall, it is able to have for 2 fr, 25 a consisted meal of: hors d'oeuvre, meat, vegetables, dessert, a quarter of wine, coffee, bread with discretion. They will have soon baths and library. It is a model of installation. They are paid 1fr75 by hour. Here is the system which is to teach the mutilated a profession, to organize them industrially and not to let them count on the charity of a pension which will be necessarily insufficient.
They make the wooden toy according to new and artistic models, established by Mister Bourgeois *, creator of this school, Mister Rapin, painter, Mister Jaulmes, with an ingenious and unpecedented taste. The paintings which decorate the white wood are at first tried on the toy itself , then raised to be copied. One judges so better the effect, and there is not from surprise to execution.
Everything is made on the spot. Trees arrive in raw trunks, and first work is to saw up in boards the wood in trunks. A special machine seizes the oblong stalks which cut the saw and restores them in shape of round sticks of all the calibres which one wishes.... The wood being ready, polished, details are assembled. The ended toy is decorated and painted then either in the hand, or with the electric graficspray.
What takes out of these multiple workshops where one sees nickel hooks replacing hands and arms; where the turner was before the war a waiter, and this decorator, a coachman of hackney cab ?
Because they are all artisans of fresh date. No one had made this profession. Each learnt the using of machines and devices invented for mutilated. And they are fast real experts... Work is finished, well-kept, deserving of models which are proposed. They are of the prodigious variety, the unforeseen novelty, the indisputable artistic feature, so much for the grace of forms and lines, spiritual stylisation which interprets nature, which for the charming harmony of
colours, the elegance of decorations. Cupboards of dolls have even ordered and executed as furniture for apartments and were to please so that a studio of furniture for grown-ups is going to be added to the workshop of toys! "
LEO CLARETIE
....*Mister Bourgeois indicates us the typical composition of a team of mutilated in " Jouet de France ": " to show which would be the proportion of the mutilated, let us take for base a team of six. Amputated with legs: 2 carpenters, 1 turner and 1 sculptor; amputated with an arm: 1 carver and 1 painter. If after a detailed study of the question, on one team of six individuals taken at random, one envisages the rehabilitation of a big number of mutilated in a school, one can estimate at six months at most necessary time. By incorporating them into the section of sculpture or simple paintings, one can use the work of the people for the first day, and as a consequence, salarier from the beginning, what will avoid in mutilated alone, (and it is an acquired fact), to be in state of inferiority toward his valid companion. "
H.B-P
Leo CLARETIE is not the only one to echo the work of disabled veterans. In a charming book "The very true story of Tintin visiting the Net and the Toy Village" (at the Exhibition of 1925) Henry d'ALLEMAGNE under the pseudonym "Henry Rene of ENGAMELLA", discusses one of stands (in the form of "houses") that has the toys of the Disabled. Poupendol is happy to give you a large excerpt:
We here is well far from the doll it seems, but it is also story of the toy! And a very justifiable emotion can only embrace us by reading this study.

Movie Time
This mural illustrates the history of cinema in Sherbrooke. It spotlights several builders, promoters and creators, both in front of and behind the screen. The people of Sherbrooke have enjoyed a number of different film and projection venues since 1896. Thanks to its excellent rail connection to the United States, the city has been able to welcome many mobile projectionists, including an agent of the Lumière brothers. This mural is primarily intended to be viewed from an angle. The Cinéma de Paris poster was created as an anamorphic image, i.e., a carefully calculated visual distortion which, viewed from a specific point (corner of King and Camirand), creates an effect of relief. Location: 356 King St. West, Sherbrooke
Dimensions : 1,182 square feet
Year created: 2017

In early 1961, he became the first producer to hold the adaptation rights to a Fleming novel, for a six-month period. But a number of obstacles got in the way, and at the five-month mark, nothing had been started yet. This is when he crossed paths with Albert R. Broccoli, another Bond fan.

Since the theatre used to have a stage, he even brought along his "Bathing Beauties." He retired with the advent of sound films in 1936, and received an Oscar in 1937.
The Lumière Brothers
Brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière were French engineers and industrialists who played a key role in the history of film and photography. Contrary to the popular perception, the Lumière brothers did not introduce the first motion pictures, but rather the first collective big-screen viewings of photographic films for the public. The first film shot by Louis Lumière in March of 1895 was Sortie d'usine, better known today as La Sortie de l'usine Lumière à Lyon (English version: Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory).
Six months after it was screened in France in December 1895, Louis Minier and Louis Pupier organized the first film screening in America with the Lumière Cinematograph, in Montreal. Indeed, the first Lumière Cinematograph projection in America took place in Montreal, Quebec.
Sherbrooke's population numbered only 10,000 at the time, but the city was well situated thanks to the railway connection to the United States, and soon attracted the Lumière brothers' agents. The first fiction photographic film, L 'Arroseur arrosé (The Sprinkler Sprinkled) directed by Louis Lumière in September of 1895, met the modern-day definition of cinema.
Le père Chopin
One of the first Quebec films and one of the first French-language Canadian films shot entirely in Canada. A film from Fedor Ozep, shown at the Cinéma de Paris (La Tribune dated May 26th, 1945). With Madeleine Ozeray (Madeleine Dupont), Marcel Chabrier (Paul Dupont, Le Père Chopin), Pierre Durand (Pierre Dupont), François Rozet (Jacques Dupont) and Janine Sutto (Carmen Dupont)—this was Janine Sutto's screen debut.
Synopsis: A widower, emigrated from France, must support a family of five children. For different reasons and under different circumstances, he and his brother are separated at birth. After living in completely different worlds, the brothers unite, turning his life upside down—and with it, that of his family.
Shooting for the film began on Mount Royal on August 20th, 1944, during a concert with 220 extras. The film was premiered at Montreal's Théâtre Saint-Denis on April 19th, 1945, and is considered the first commercial success of Quebec film.
Les raquetteurs
Les Raquetteurs is a 1958 Quebec documentary directed by Michel Brault and Gilles Groulx.
The film marked a turning point in cinematic history, adopting a "candid eye" approach that put the filmmakers at the heart of the action for the first time in recorded history. The short film is also viewed as an important step in the development of anthropological film, capturing social phenomena without judgment in order to distance the documentary from elements of popular culture. Les Raquetteurs speaks to this question of truth in documentary film.
The film was innovative and significant in that its context of creation laid the groundwork for significant developments in filmmaking around the world.

Lefebvre is holding the newspaper La Tribune, which celebrated its 100-year anniversary in 2010. The newspaper was created by Jacob Nicol, who was born in Roxton Pond and studied law before practising as a lawyer in Sherbrooke. Noticing the growing French-speaking population in Estrie, he decided to found La Tribune de Sherbrooke, which released its first paper on February 21st, 1910. Starting in the fall of 1921, he embarked on a lengthy political career. Even so, Nicol remained very active in the private sphere as the director of several insurance companies and the president of the radio stations CHLN (Trois-Rivières) and CHLT (Sherbrooke). He passed away in Sherbrooke in 1958.

Lisa Unger is an author that keeps things simple. She was (and still is) determined to have a career in the publishing industry. Her simplistic, yet passionate approach can be seen in everything she writes, including her novels and blogs. Authors can and should learn from her example.
Lisa Unger is an award winning New York Times bestseller and has been published in over twenty-six countries. Born in New Haven, Connecticut and growing up in the Netherlands, England, along with New Jersey, Lisa has quite the background. She graduated with a degree in Social Research and spent time working in New York with a job in publicity.
Here are a few quotes I found about Unger. "Masterful" (St. Petersburg Times), "sensational" (Publishers Weekly) and "sophisticated" (New York Daily News) with "gripping narrative and evocative, muscular prose" (Associated Press).
Authors are pressured by the world to get a "real job." You have bills to pay and a family to take care of. Nevertheless, the dream buried into your soul will not go away. You have to decide at some point to be an author, no matter what the cost. No, it is not a "real job" according to society. As an author, you will be tired, stressed, broke, worn out, always busy, confused, maybe even depressed once in awhile. But I guarantee you will not work one day as author. It's not a job. Being an author is so much more.
It's strange that Lisa compares being a writer to having a "disease," which is an unhealthy condition of the body or mind. What Lisa is trying to articulate, is that everyday you wait to be an author, part of your body and mind dies a little more.
Do not take your career to the grave. Cemeteries are filled with unrealized dreams.
After Lisa met her future husband, they left their corporate lives behind and moved to Florida. Moving away from New York and the publishing industry was even crazier.
Nevertheless, it worked out for Lisa.
I have given plenty of advice over the years to authors. Now listen to Lisa Unger for moment.
Thank you Lisa Unger…for everything.
Enjoyed Lisa's take on writers…most people look for a cure to a disease, but this is one disease that needs no cure. Writing for me is a form of meditation. It blocks out the real world and allows me to bring the world as my mind sees it to life.
My hopes are to get readers to enjoy the world of my mind. Thanks Ron again for bringing other author's view to light. It is nice to read that other authors have the same fears and thoughts that I have had over the last several years.
I have a five year plan to make writing my full time job. I love nursing, but my need to express words on paper engulfs me everyday.

Radkey: Three Cool Cats That Are the Next Big Thing in Rock
by Amaris Pollinger August 5, 2021
written by Amaris Pollinger August 5, 2021
The first time I heard of Radkey was in the Fall of 2018 in Washington, D.C. where they were opening for punk rock legends The Damned. Excited and nursing a drink, I found a side seat bench just inches from the stage, where the opening act soon began warming up the crowd. Dee, Isaiah, and Solomon Radke are a rock band of brothers, and they settled into their respective instruments, tearing into the tracks that made up their album, Delicious Rock Noise (which quickly made its way into my record collection). I knew instantly that this was not the last time that I'd be hearing about Radkey. Despite their obvious musical talent, they have something else––that special 'it' factor, if you will. And I couldn't wait to see what they would do next.
For almost a decade, these three home-schooled brothers had a lot of time to perfect their sound. If they weren't studying algebra, they were studying music. They spent afternoons and weekends raiding their music-loving father's record collection where they listened to Weezer, Foo Fighters, and The Beatles. They devoured the documentary Foo Fighters: Back and Forth, in which the band outlines particulars of "how to be a band," from recording to touring and everything in-between.
In 2010, they decided it was time to form their own band with eldest brother, Dee on vocals and guitar, Isaiah providing backup vocals and bass, and Solomon (aka Sol) on drums. Organic and self-taught, Radkey has since emerged from "a little green room in a shitty pink house," and found themselves on a whirlwind journey, even opening for San Fernando's Fishbone as their first-ever show. "That was a really good motivator," says Isaiah, the band's usual spokesperson. "When your first show is that big, it's really hard to come back from that. It makes you want to keep going." And away they went.
Since that show in D.C., I've closely watched Radkey as—even amidst a pandemic—they were taking up, shaking up, and rocking the gauntlet passed down by the post-punk revival bands of the early 2000s like The White Stripes, Interpol, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and She Wants Revenge. Personally, I haven't seen such a revival movement since Interpol dropped "Obstacle 1" or The White Stripes attacked us all with "Seven Nation Army"—and it's been a long time coming. In short, if you thought rock was dead, Radkey is here to loudly proclaim otherwise, so do yourself a favor and turn them up.
As if their impressive debut show wasn't enough, Radkey then went on to perform with Jack White, L7, Descendents, and The Offspring along with playing festivals like SXSW, Riot Fest, Afropunk, and the U.K.'s Download Festival. Through Jennifer Finch of L7, Radkey was put in touch with Dave Grohl (frontman of Foo Fighters for anyone living under a rock) to be a part of his latest documentary. What Drives Us is a film that's meant as a love letter to musicians who have crowded into cruddy vans for the sake of living unconventionally on the road as they pursue their love of music and lawlessness (all in good fun, obviously). Grohl was looking for bands that are still hitting the pavement in the age of digital streams and virtual concerts, and thanks to Finch, he found Radkey.
"We did the L7 shows, and those were amazing," remarks Isaiah. "Then Jennifer Finch hits us up about being in What Drives Us. They were looking for ground-level bands and we were just like 'Sweet!' It was cool."
The band was on the road at the time, under the management of their father, Matt Radke (affectionately known as "Dadkey"). They were eating at McDonald's when that call from Finch began a whole new chapter in Radkey's story. Isaiah talked about staring at his food, thinking about how there was a possibility that they would no longer have to eat fast food for breakfast every day: "Everything in my head was just like 'Wow…everything changes now.'"
Eerily, it's what Radkey set out to do. It's something they had talked about in their tiny, shared bedroom as kids, the now-famous "little green room" while living in the "shitty pink house." They wanted to rock and be one of the big rock bands, just like Foo Fighters. So to be approached by one of their idols who wanted to interview them was something that, in the eyes of Radkey, solidified their place in rock music.
The beauty of What Drives Us is the commonality of every featured musician's story. Each artist has their reasons for choosing such a life, and they all echo the same great advice: you've got to keep going, and you have to put in the miles in that "fart-can van" to make it in music. It can take a lifetime for some people to realize the gifts of time, boredom, and isolation. Part of Radkey's success was the investment of time and the discipline to use it properly. According to Isaiah, a lot of their songs come from sitting around and doing nothing, something their hometown of Saint Joseph, Missouri offered to a band of motivated misfits looking for creative space. Isaiah describes "St. Jo" as being "boring" to grow up in with "nothing going on." But where some creative minds might wither in such a dreary place, Radkey used it as an excuse to color in the gray scenery with music.

While Radkey was founded in the punk arena with their first two albums: Delicious Rock Noise and No Strange Cats, Green Room (named for, you guessed it, that tiny green bedroom) is their melodic break from fast, aggressive punk tracks, and it's just oh so good. "Bend" is my favorite track on the album, though it's honestly hard to choose. The song itself, like many Radkey tracks, is a "touching and personal song that hits really close to each member's personality," reflecting on a time in their career when the shows were dry and not as many things seemed to be happening for them. It's a beautiful song, with Dee on piano for a touching, melodic sequence that adds a new depth to the Radkey sound.
I've heard one or two complaints about Green Room in comparison to Delicious Rock Noise, but if you're expecting Green Room to be the 'Delicious Rock Noise Part II,' then you'll be disappointed. Green Room is just as fantastic, and for all the right reasons. But it's a melodic rock album, not solely punk. And that's exactly what Radkey wants.
Right now Dee, Isaiah, and Sol (and, of course, Dadkey) are kicking off a tour with Foo Fighters, one of the many bands whose albums littered the floor of their pink house, and whose documentary helped shape their journey from the beginning. That documentary and the musicians behind it heavily inspired three bored kids to smash the walls of that little green room and light Saint Jo, MO on fire with a razor-edged sound that's so full of mature angst it punches you in the face. And rather than singing high school "bubble-gum gunk rock" about not wanting to be in class, Radkey is saying something important… for ears that can catch it, anyway.
Dee's vocals are often compared to Danzig, but Dee is more than just a pissed-off punk. There's real feeling. There's a depth that's heavy, hard to discern; a brooding that's secretive and akin to other mystery-men singers like Justin Warfield (She Wants Revenge) and Paul Banks (Interpol). Two perfect examples are "Real Deal," and "Bend," which are lyrically intertwined with the anxiety that comes from the lows of creativity and feeling invisible. Sure, "Real Deal" is a punk-driven anthem, but the words are haunting and aching. Regardless of whether I'm correct in my understanding as to what they're about, Radkey has captured my attention beyond the pounding, hypnotic drumming, big, grinding guitar solos, and catchy chorus chants that are the signature Radkey sound.
Still, the boys of Radkey are as far from unapproachable rockstars as you can get, with their ever-present love of comic books, all things nerdy, and especially cats. They even allowed fans who chose a specific Kickstarter tier "to memorialize their cats on their own personalized album cover." All in all, the band personalized over 50 covers for No Strange Cats and Green Room.
"It's just a layer that brings people closer so that they can relate," Isaiah says, commenting on the band's humanity and love for felines. "Our main thing is to make awesome music. We don't want to pretend that we're anything that we're not. We have a bunch of cats, and we put that stuff out there. So it feels less like we're trying to be these cool rock stars that aren't going to talk to you. We're pretty much nerds and we play rock music!"
Diving a little deeper into the realm of comics and anime, I mention my own upbringing, being inspired by and finding meaning in shows like Cardcaptor Sakura and Sailor Moon. "It's true!" Isaiah says, smiling. "A lot of the messages in anime keep you strong. [It] gets you through hardship, that's all really inspiring. That's what we're always writing about. Quite a bit of [anime] is really good."
Radkey understands just how much their success is thanks to their fans. During the pandemic, Green Room was made possible by support through their Patreon. If you visit their social media handles, you see it all the time: total appreciation for their fans. As creative endeavors grow, that sort of humility can get lost in the chaos of work/travel and the increasing demands on your time. I asked how Radkey intends to navigate that and how they would hold onto the ties that helped them grow and stay connected to their fan base.
"We write for ourselves and the fans," Isaiah explains. "So as long as we go for the music that makes us feel good, as long as we keep everything Radkey and we're enjoying the music, that's the important thing. We never let a song slide that we're not totally into. As long as we don't compromise, I think that's the key."
Radkey is never without feeling; they have yet to produce an album that I turn away from. Their latest work, Green Room is still founded in the roots of their earlier, punk-driven riffs. But Green Room explores a more artistic, rock ballad type refinement that showcases a mature rock sound that demands respect.
While typically classified as a punk/garage rock band, this box is far too limiting for Radkey. I get it. The usual categories and comparisons are given to them, like the tired parallels between The Ramones, The Misfits, and lead-singer Dee's label as "the new Danzig" are meant as compliments. But Radkey sounds like, well, Radkey. They aren't the next Misfits, because there's already a Misfits. And Dee isn't the next Danzig, because there's already a Danzig. Dee is Dee, and Radkey is Radkey. Whether they know it or not, Radkey has already succeeded in breaking through the underground and stamping a space in rock music, and they're not stopping. To quote the driving "P.A.W." from their second album, "Are they scared of me? They appear to be," because if someone's always watching, you might as well give'em a show.
Radkey tour dates can be found at their website RADKEY.net. Be sure to check them out on the Foo Fighters 26th Anniversary Tour and pick up some awesome merch! Find Radkey on all streaming platforms: Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Youtube, Amazon Music. Keep up with these Radcats on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and support them on Patreon.

Students caught in immigration debate
In March, 2010 Jessica Colotl was pulled over by campus police at Kennesaw State University in Georgia. She received a ticket for impeding the flow of traffic. The 21-year-old college student presented the officer an expired Mexican passport instead of a valid driver's license. She was arrested and later released on a $2500 bond.
Jessica is an undocumented resident brought to the United States by her parents at age 11. She excelled academically in college and has two semesters to go before graduating.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE] agency granted Jessica a one-year deferral on her deportation to allow her to finish college. She may be able to obtain an extension next year. Jessica is hopeful that proposed legislation known as the DREAM Act becomes law soon. The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act would provide students without legal immigration status a path to become legal. The current bill is S. 729 introduced in March, 2009.
Jessica's Booking Photo, March 2010
If passed, The DREAM Act could affect over 2 million young immigrants in the United States. It was first introduced in Congress in 2001. The present bill is limited to children who entered the U.S. before age 16 and have been in the country continuously for the past five years. The applicant must also have a high school diploma or GED and be younger than 35.
If those requirements are met, immigrants would be allowed to stay in the U.S. for an additional six years. At the end of that period, he or she could apply for lawful permanent residence if they obtain a college degree, complete at least two years of college, or honorably serve in the military for at least two years. Without federal legislation, undocumented students cannot obtain student loans, unless specifically authorized under state law, cannot obtain a driver's license and are unabvle to work legally.
There are several cases making their way through the legal system where students who have graduated from law school and passed the state's bar examination are being prohibited to practice law due to their immigration status. Cases in California, Florida and New York may shed some light on this predicament in 2012.
Read more about the DREAM Act here.
You can track any bill introduced in Congress at the GovTrack.us. You will receive alerts when action is taken on the bill you're tracking.
Update: In December, 2010, the DREAM Act failed in the U.S. Senate by five votes. Sponsors of the bill will try again in the next Congress. Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer of California said "This country has a history of opening its arms. Today its arms were closed, but we're going to get there." In June, 2011, the Senate reintroduced the bill in an effort to pass it as soon as possible.
At his first commencement address of the year, President Obama told 3,000 graduates at Miami Dade College on April 29. 2011 that he would keep working toward passage of the DREAM Act. "Some were brought here as young children and discovered the truth only as adults," he said. "They put their futures on the line in hopes they will spur the rest of us to live up to our most cherished values." He further stated that he could not act alone but needed Congress to change the law.
On August 18, 2011, the Obama administration announced that it was suspending deportation proceedings of illegal immigrants who pose no threat to national security or public safety. This includes students brought to the U.S. by their parents when children. See here for the full story: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/19/us/19immig.html?_r=1&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha2
In 2011, Governor Jerry Brown signed the first part of the California Dream Act. Under current law, students who have graduated from a California high school and can show that they are on a path to legalize their immigration status, are allowed to pay resident tuition rates for college. The new law allows them to apply for state-funded scholarships and aid at state universities as well as private scholarships and loans. Governor Brown commented that "The Dream Act benefits us all by giving top students a chance to improve their lives and the lives of all of us." Starting in 2013, illegal students will be allowed to serve in any capacity in student government. In 2012, the president signed an executive order granting DREAMERs a two-year reprieve from deportation, renewable every two years. Designated as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), the order brought temporary relief to those affected.
What do you think of children brought to this country who are undocumented due to no fault of their own? They grow up here and attend college only to face deportation once their illegal status is discovered. Should they be given a chance to become citizens without facing deportation first? What benefit would there be in deporting a teenager or twentysomething to a country where he or she has never lived or even been to? On the other hand, why have laws that are flaunted by illegal entry into the country? Shouldn't there be a consequence to violating a country's immigration laws? If so, what should the penalty be? Is there a middle ground in this national debate?

UConn Women's Basketball
Katie Lou Samuelson added to Team USA roster
The former Husky star will play against UConn alongside many other disciples of Geno.

Share All sharing options for: Katie Lou Samuelson added to Team USA roster
Breanna Stewart and Katie Lou Samuelson share a laugh, probably after looking at the scoreboard.
Team USA basketball has added Katie Lou Samuelson to its roster. The 2019 WNBA Draft's 4th overall pick will join fellow former Huskies Sue Bird, Tina Charles, Breanna Stewart and Diana Taurasi on the squad that will take on the current UConn Huskies in an exhibition at the XL Center on Monday, January 27th. The game will be on at 7 p.m. on ESPN2.
According to USA Basketball, Samuelson will play all five games of the women's national team's upcoming schedule, which will include a game at Louisville and a FIBA qualifying tournament in Serbia. She is a very familiar with Team USA, having competed on numerous youth national teams and participated in training camp for the senior team.
Samuelson recently completed her rookie season with the Chicago Sky. The California native dealt with injuries but still managed to play in 20 games, averaging 7.6 minutes and 2.4 points per contest. At UConn, she hit the second-most three-pointers in program history, was a three-time AP All-American, and also part of the highest-scoring Husky duo ever with Napheesa Collier. The two made the Final Four in all four of their seasons in Storrs and were freshmen on the 2016 national championship team.
