Career Backup QB Scott Zolak Tells Cam Newton 'Turn Off the Rap Music'
Written by Bob Parks
This whopper deserves all the attention it can get. Again, it shows the ignorance and contempt of the electorate liberals depend on. The following* is what readers got when they clicked on the Democrats.org "History" button….
This is the kind of revisionism spewed by Democrats on a daily basis, and unfortunately the media and other so-called watchdogs are so apparently ignorant of American history, Democrats continue to LIE through their teeth to their constituents, and via academia, to our kids. Despite the truth being out there for years, it's probably not going to explode until some big shot news anchor gives us an "exclusive expose" bringing us all those facts first, so he/she can proudly receive a Pulitzer…
While I have only scratched the surface of civil rights history, remember, Democrats claim THEY "are unwavering in our support of equal opportunity for all Americans. That's why we've worked to pass every one of our nation's Civil Rights laws"…
The Republican Party is officially founded as an abolitionist party to slavery in the United States.
Senator Charles Sumner (R-MA) is beaten with a cane in the Senate chamber by Congressman Preston Brooks (D-SC) in retaliation for a speech Sumner previously made against slave owners. The Massachusetts Legislature refused to replace Sumner during his near-three year recovery and his Senate desk was left empty until his return in 1859 as a public reminder of the attack.
During the Lincoln-Douglas debates, U.S. Senator Stephen Douglas (D-IL) said, "If you desire negro citizenship, if you desire to allow them to come into the State and settle with the white man, if you desire them to vote on an equality with yourselves, and to make them eligible to office, to serve on juries, and to adjudge your rights, then support Mr. Lincoln and the Black Republican party, who are in favor of the citizenship of the negro. For one, I am opposed to negro citizenship in any and every form. I believe this Government was made on the white basis. I believe it was made by white men for the benefit of white men and their posterity for ever, and I am in favor of confining citizenship to white men, men of European birth and descent, instead of conferring it upon negroes, Indians, and other inferior races.". Douglas became the Democrat Party's 1860 presidential nominee.
President Lincoln signed the bill abolishing slavery in the District of Columbia. In Congress, almost every Republican voted yes and most Democrats voted no.
Democrats are unwavering in our support of equal opportunity for all Americans. That's why we've worked to pass every one of our nation's Civil Rights laws…. On every civil rights issue, Democrats have led the fight.
Over unanimous Democrat opposition, the Republican Congress passed The Confiscation Act stating that slaves of the Confederacy "shall be forever free".

With the help of tens of thousands of black citizens who finally had the right to vote, Republicans handily won local and state elections that spring. Henry Clay Warmoth, a Republican, won the race for Louisiana governor, but the votes African-Americans cast for those elections cost them. Over the summer, armed white Democrat Klansmen harassed black families, shot at them outside of Opelousas (the largest city in St. Landry Parish), and killed men, women and children with impunity.

Susan B. Anthony was arrested after boasting to Elizabeth Cady Stanton that she voted for "the Republican ticket — straight"
150 black men and three white men died in the Colfax massacre: a fight for control of the Louisiana St. Landry Parish's first courthouse after a disputed statewide election where even though Republican nominee Ulysses Grant won, not a single Republican vote was counted. About half of the black participants, and maybe more, were killed later that day after they surrendered.

Clinton says Byrd joined KKK to help him get elected
Just a "fleeting association". Nothing to see here.
And let's not forget the words of liberal icon Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood…
The minister's work is also important and he should be trained, perhaps by the Federation as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.
— 1939 letter by Sanger
So the next time any Democrat claims they've been supportive of civil rights in America (and been so all along), ask them to explain their past. "We've grown" is not gonna cut it, considering they continue to lie about their past to this day.
I say again, I'm not anti-Democrat, I'm not anti-Republican, I'm not anti-anything. I'm just questioning their sincerity, and some of the strategy that they've been using on our people by promising them promises that they don't intend to keep.
— Malcolm X, 4/3/64
Only a willing fool (and there are quite a lot out there) would accept and recite the nonsensical: one bright, sunny day Democrats and Republicans just up and decided to "switch" political positions and cite the "Southern Strategy" as the uniform knee-jerk retort. Even today, it never takes long for a Democrat to play the race card purely for political advantage.
Thanks to the Democrat Party, blacks have the distinction of being the only group in the United States whose history is a work-in-progress.
* In 2010, the Democrat Party website received a face lift and the erroneous statements regarding their so-called civil rights advocacy were removed, that is until 2020….
For more than 200 years, our party has led the fight for civil rights…. Take a look at some of our accomplishments, and you'll see why we're proud to be Democrats. From America's beginnings to today, people have turned to Democrats to meet our country's most pressing challenges—and pave the way for a future that lifts up all Americans.
The lie has returned for the benefit of the ignorant, with careful nuance.
A "proud" history.

Greetings and salutation to you, Bob! I've missed you from the days of B&R having Disqus on its platform. This a chilling, yet informative treatise on the searing racism of the Democrat party. The most blatant form is the disposal of black American votes for Donald Trump being replaced by votes for Joe Biden. I live in a heavily Democrat area in Michigan and voted for Trump in person, plus have a friend who lives in Detroit who also voted for Trump. His vote probably met the same fate as mine. Another thing that concerns me about the Democrat party is the threats they pose to our religious freedoms. It's beyond me as to how black American Christians could be so blindly loyal to a party that makes no bones about their disdain for Christianity, Christians and Christ Himself. Don't get me started on the messianic persona said voters ascribed to Barack Obama. Then there's Margaret Sanger's "Negro Project" of which the gist was the exploitation of black clergy and their congregations to implement her immoral, lethal and racist agenda; yes, I'm referring to you, Raphael Warnock! The exploitation of black American churches by leftist Democrat politicians during election cycles can be traced to the Negro Project. Happy New Year to you and yours, Bob!🥂

Rivalries impede Chicago-Milwaukee metroplex
Marquette University to hold conference on Milwaukee's future in region
Posted: July 15, 2012 9:26 PM
MILWAUKEE — The greater London area needs only 34 government entities to administer all its public safety, services, transportation, zoning and schools. Greater Toronto gets by with only 28.
But when it comes to overlap, unnecessary taxpayer spending and political fragmentation, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported, the Chicago-Milwaukee metroplex is in a league of its own.
The two adjoining metro regions are splintered into a profusion of 2,155 separate governmental entities.
Findings this year from the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said the inefficiencies and jurisdictional rivalries undermine what otherwise could become a vibrant economic bloc.
Milwaukee's future in the region is the focus of a daylong conference Tuesday at Marquette University, sponsored by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and the Lubar Fund for Public Policy Research at Marquette Law School.

Cardinal's new booklet confirms high-level resistance to Kasper proposal
May all these resisting Cardinals take new courage and strength in preparing for the second part of the Synod of Bishops on the Family.
Cardinal Paul Josef Cordes
Hickson
Tue Jul 7, 2015 - 1:22 pm EDT Fri Jul 30, 2021 - 6:42 pm EDT
July 7, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) — A new booklet released in Germany by the former head of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum offers insight into the discussions that took place behind closed doors during the 2014 Consistory where Cardinal Walter Kasper first presented – upon the request of Pope Francis – his "Kasper proposal" to the assembly of cardinals.
Cardinal Paul Josef Cordes' booklet, published by Fe-Verlag, is entitled "Spiritual Communion" – Freed From the Dust of the Centuries.
The well-known Italian journalist Marco Tosatti reported already in March 2014 about the strong resistance coming from a large group of cardinals against Kasper's proposal to allow "remarried" divorcees to receive Holy Communion, saying that it might have been even as much as 85 percent of the cardinals who opposed his liberalizing agenda.
Now Cardinal Cordes, who himself participated in the Consistory, gives us a glimpse into the discussions at the time. He sums up Kasper's proposal as follows:
The theologian [Cardinal Kasper] seemed to intend to achieve this: that Catholics who traditionally were called, in the Church's pastoral language, "public sinners" may now be allowed to eat the Body and to drink the Blood of Christ.
And Cardinal Cordes, who himself opposes this idea, continues:
Already at the Consistory in February [of 2014], there came up a vivid discussion about such a new pastoral approach, as the speaker [Cardinal Kasper] presented it. Some fathers reminded us that the words of the Gospels themselves are a fundamental obstacle to the admission of these Christians to the reception of the Eucharist. […] An admission – under whatever condition – of the remarried divorcees to Holy Communion would mean the opening of the reception of the Eucharist for those persons whom Christ Himself called "adulterers." [According to some fathers] The initiative of Cardinal Kasper would demand from the Church to square the circle; it would surpass, finally, all the authority of all the consecrated shepherds who are, after all, bound to Holy Scripture.
Cardinal Cordes describes how he himself prepared a little speech for this discussion ahead of time, knowing well what Cardinal Kasper most probably would dare to present at the Consistory. However, his own presentation did not find much of a welcome from Cardinal Kasper himself:
But in the eyes of Cardinal Kasper, my proposal did not find grace. After the discussion in the College of Cardinals, he used the occasion to respond extensively to all the many critical objections.
Cardinal Cordes herewith confirms Tosatti's claim that Kasper's proposal found much criticism at the Consistory. Without going into the deeper debate between Cardinals Kasper and Cordes, this short summary at least gives the reader sufficient insight into the initial resistance within the College of Cardinals against the Kasper proposal, thereby confirming Marco Tosatti's own report from March 2014.
May all these resisting Cardinals take new courage and strength in preparing for the second part of the Synod of Bishops on the Family, which will take place from 4-25 October 2015 in Rome.

Egypt is considered as the cradle of civilization and has long history. Ancient Egypt has got one of the oldest civilizations in the world. The country's rich heritage and culture is an important part and an identity to that country.
It is called the trend setter of the modern Arabic world. The country still has got many ancient laws especially related to marriage. The symbolism of circular shape of the wedding rings is also related to Egyptian culture. According to them the wedding ring represents the marriage - without beginning, without end.
It is predominantly a Sunni Muslim country. The country only officially recognizes Islam, Christianity and Judaism. So the Egyptian marriages are mostly like an Arab wedding.
In an Egyptian wedding the family arranges the alliance and the groom has to bring two gifts to the girl's family. A sum of money called Mahr has to be paid to the girl's family. The groom also has to gift gold jewelry to the girl and this tradition is called Shabka.
After this a lavish engagement party will be arranged. Later a wedding date will be fixed.
Traditional Egyptian bride wears bright jewel coloured dresses. A veil is a must for the bride. The groom would wear a ceremonial tribal costume.
As we said an Egyptian wedding is almost like an Arab wedding.
The marriages are usually held in a marriage hall. The bride and groom's family will sign a wedding contract during the ceremony. It will be held in the presence of a Mazoon, who provides license to the wedding.
The wedding celebration is marked by the drinking of a rose water juice called sharpat. A traditional Egyptian wedding will have belly-dancers and singers. Another important tradition is the candelabra dance.
Towards the end of the celebration the bride and the groom would leave for the groom's house. In rural areas the bride travels to her new house in a colourful procession. She will mostly travel on a camel and the wedding party will accompany her with songs and dances.
In Egypt there is a tradition that after the wedding for a week, the bride's mother will cook all the meals for the newlywed couples.

Raider 'unmasked'by woman's challenge
A masked raider, attempting to rob cash at an off-licence with the threat of a gun in his pocket, was surprised when the woman behind the counter challenged him.
Fri, 10 Apr, 2015 - 01:00
Liam Heylin
She questioned whether he had a gun and he dropped his disguise, abandoned the attempted crime and made light of it.
This was the allegation made by Detective Garda Pat Condon when Damien O'Brien, of 48 Castlepark, Ballincollig, came before Cork District Court yesterday on a charge of attempted robbery.
O'Brien was charged with carrying out the attempted robbery at O'Donovan's off-licence on Main Street, Ballincollig, on March 6, 2014.
Judge Leo Malone asked for an outline of the allegations so he could determine if it was a suitable case for the district court or if it should be dealt with at Cork Circuit Criminal Court.

Det Garda Condon said it was alleged that at 9pm on March 6, 2014, a woman was working alone at O'Donovan's off-licence sorting cigarettes when a man entered the shop with his face covered.
"He pretended he had a gun or a weapon in his pocket and demanded the contents of the till.
"She was terrified and in fear but she challenged him about the gun and the suspected offender stopped as if surprised that he had been challenged. He uncovered his face and identified himself as someone who was known to her and he tried to make light of it," the detective said.
Judge Malone said he was refusing jurisdiction.
Emmet Boyle, solicitor, said no firearm was produced. However, Judge Malone said the woman working there that night was not to know there was no gun.
A book of evidence will be prepared for the case to be heard by judge and jury.
O'Brien was remanded on bail on condition that he sign daily at Ballincollig Garda station, stay away from the premises in question and the woman who worked there, and abstain from alcohol and drugs, except for medication prescribed for him.

Greens look to Fredericton for potential eastern breakthrough on election night
Green Party of New Brunswick Leader David Coon speaks to the media following the Throne Speech at the New Brunswick Legislature in Fredericton on October 23, 2018. In 2015, the Atlantic Canada election map was awash in red as the Liberals swept all of the region's 32 seats, but this year the Green party is hoping to build on recent provincial success and make its own mark. New Brunswickers elected three Green members to the legislature last year, and this year, eight members were elected in neighbouring Prince Edward Island -- making them the official Opposition in the Island legislature.

FREDERICTON — In 2015, the Atlantic Canada election map was awash in red as the Liberals swept all of the region's 32 seats, but this year the Green party is hoping to build on recent provincial success and make its own mark.
New Brunswickers elected three Green members to the legislature last year, and this year, eight members were elected in neighbouring Prince Edward Island — making them the official Opposition in the Island legislature.
When voters go to the polls in the Oct. 21 federal election, the Green party will be eyeing a breakthrough in a number of key Atlantic ridings, with Fredericton at the top of the list.
The riding has a history of electing Liberal and Conservative MPs, but voters here have shown an affinity for the Greens — New Brunswick Green Leader David Coon has held the seat of Fredericton South in the provincial legislature since 2014.
"New Brunswick is not going to go unanimously Liberal like it did last time. There will be seats that change," said Donald Wright, a political scientist at the University of New Brunswick. While the Liberals face a Conservative challenge in ridings to the south, in Fredericton the competition comes from the left.
"Fredericton has voted Green for David Coon in the last two provincial elections. So clearly there is a Green, progressive vote up for grabs in Fredericton — a university town with an educated civil service," Wright said.
Running for the Greens in Fredericton is Jenica Atwin — a young mother of two who works as a researcher and program co-ordinator in First Nations education. She's quick to admit she isn't the sort of candidate who has won the riding in the past.
"I'm someone who has broken the status quo most of my life. I never fit the mould," she said. "I challenge the mould and I ask those tough questions, and I've been trained to be very critical of the status quo."
Atwin said she feels positive about her chances but acknowledges it could be a tight three-way race.
"We're seeing a lot of support at the door from across the political spectrum, really, considering Green as an option this time around," she said.
Atwin is up against Liberal incumbent Matt DeCourcey, who won by a wide margin in 2015. DeCourcey admits it could be a close race this time, and he is warning that vote-splitting on the left would favour the Conservatives.
"The number 1 threat that I hear from people … we can't risk supporting a party that will help elect a blue candidate in Fredericton. I think people understand what the real risk is of electing a Conservative candidate and having Andrew Scheer become prime minister," DeCourcey said.
The Conservatives are running business consultant Andrea Johnson while the New Democrat candidate is Mackenzie Thomason, who recently became the interim provincial party leader.
The New Democrats were late announcing federal candidates in New Brunswick and were recently rocked by an announcement that former provincial candidates were jumping en masse to the Green party. However, many of those people said there was a misunderstanding and their names should not have been included among the defectors.
Still, Wright said the NDP's internal problems could help the Greens pull off an upset in Fredericton.
"That progressive, left, NDP, feminist vote is going to be looking for a place to park itself, and it might be with Jenica Atwin and the Green party," he said.
Federal Green Leader Elizabeth May has made a number of visits to the provincial capital to campaign with Atwin, and on Tuesday, Coon and P.E.I. Green Leader Peter Bevan Baker took part in a campaign event in the city.
"We know the areas where we are strong, and Fredericton is one of those areas," Bevan Baker said, adding that he thinks the Greens have "a realistic shot" in a couple of Prince Edward Island ridings.
"The Green party is not going to form the next government in Ottawa, but we could, with the right number of seats, actually form the balance of power," he said. "We could be a very important and influential part of the next Parliament."
Coon said he's hearing from people who want to elect a Green rather than just vote against the Liberals or Conservatives.
"It's very clear, where Greens have been elected in provincial legislatures, it has been vote for the party rather than a protest vote," he said. "Once a few of us got elected and it became clear that Greens were electable … that's really created a tipping point."
This report by The Canadian Press was originally published Oct. 10, 2019.


A new study published recently in The Lancet reveals that one of the most commonly used asthma medicines -- long-acting beta-agonists -- may not be associated with adverse events in people based on their genotype (gene variation), as previous studies had shown.
The study analyzed the effects of long-acting beta-agonist therapy, used in combination with inhaled corticosteroids, in asthmatics who have a specific beta-2 adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) genotype.
Investigators analyzed data from two clinical trials performed by AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP. In each trial, patients were randomized to receive one of two different long-acting beta-agonists. In the case of each of the therapies, asthma symptoms and control improved, but no differences were observed based on the ADRB2 genotype.
Current guidelines recommend the use of combination therapy, with long-acting beta-agonists and inhaled corticosteroids, to control moderate to severe persistent asthma.
"With over 2,000 patients in this study receiving combination therapy, it was reassuring that no adverse safety effects could be attributed to an individual's genotype," said Bleecker.
Ten percent of the U.S. population suffers from asthma. Each year, approximately 4,000 people die with asthma as the underlying cause.

Episode 40: Dr. Mark Gordon and What If Everything We Thought We Know About PTSD and TBI Were Wrong? 0
The standard of care provided to veterans and active duty military members suffering from PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injuries is based on the idea of throwing pharmaceuticals at the issue. Many veterans who suffer from these ailments are on a dozen medications or more. Traditionally, Doctors look at PTSD and TBI as separate issues. PTSD is supposedly a reaction to traumatic events, and TBI is a result of concussion or a traumatic brain event.
Dr. Mark Gordon is an interventional endocrinologist who's dedicated much of his life to studying traumatic brain injury. Dr. Gordon has worked with thousands of cases of TBI, and through his work he's found that both PTSD and TBI may have a common source in chronic inflammation. The problem is that none of the current standard treatments for these issues actually treat inflammation.
Through the Warrior Angels Foundation, Doctor Gordon has helped hundreds of veterans eliminate the symptoms of TBI and PTSD altogether without standard pharmaceuticals by using nutrients and hormone replenishment. Doctor Gordon and Warrior Soul Podcast cohost Andrew Marr have made it their mission, through the Warrior Angels Foundation to make these treatments available to all veterans by bring them to the attention of the powers that be.

Episode 38: Chris Bell, Battling the Prescription Thugs 0
When we think about plagues, we normally think about diseases from viruses or bacteria. We don't think about these diseases coming from medicines. Someone in this country dies from an opiate overdose every 19 minutes. That's pretty startling, but here's something even more startling: 91% of those who survive an opiate overdose end up going right back on the drugs that nearly killed them.
Chris Bell is a documentary film maker who is tackling this issue head on through his work. Initially known for his film on performance enhancing drugs, Bigger, Stronger, Faster, Chris decided to tackle the prescription drug abuse epidemic with the movie Prescription Thugs after being affected by it personally. His brother Mike, who was featured in Bigger, Stronger, Faster, was an addict who died shortly after the film was released.
Chris also had a secret that made it even more personal - he was also an addict. Affected by years of pain from arthritis and hip surgeries, Chris was popping prescription pills like crazy.
Today, Chris is sober, largely because of a plant based product called Kratom. Kratom is a plant grown in Thailand that is used to aid in opiate withdrawal. It's also currently on the target list to be scheduled as a schedule 1 drug by the Drug Enforcement Agency. Chris is also currently working to ensure that Kratom stays legal and we cover his current project: a documentary on the legal battle to keep the plant legal.

As a founding partner of ID Life, Keith is helping to usher-in 21st century, optimal supplement dosing.
It might be said that Keith lives by the credo written by the Greek poet and soldier, Archilochus, over 2,600 years ago – "We do not rise to the level of our expectations.

Veteran Resource Podcast was created to introduce veterans to Veteran Service Organizations. There are literally thousands of VSO's out there, each with a different mission. The one thing that they have in common is that they want to help veterans in their own way. Some might help financially, some might help emotionally, some might help with homelessness, and others might help by providing the opportunity for veterans to serve their community and help others in need. Each week Jeremy will interview a different VSO to find out what their mission is, what projects they have going on, what challenges they face, and the type of veteran that is in their wheelhouse. With thousands of VSO's there has to be something out there for every veteran.
Jeremy Paris was born in Buffalo, NY and joined the US Army immediately after graduating from high school. After ten years as a Personnel Administration Sergeant he left the military to become a government contractor performing computer support to the Department of Defense. Although the initial plan was to be a contractor for two years and then split, he spent the next 16 years supporting the same customer within different rolls. Jeremy has been on the staff of Veteran Artist Program (VAP), a non-profit Veteran Service Organization since 2010. While at an event in Washington DC with VAP Jeremy shook hands with people representing so many veteran-focused organizations that he was blown away. It was the realization that most veterans had no idea that these organizations existed that prompted Jeremy to start this podcast. The new mission of the Veteran Resource Podcast is that every single one of the 20,000 veterans transitioning out of the military each month will have the opportunity to learn about the veteran organizations that are available to them.

Internally better code, easier to debug and extend from my angle. I'd rather fix it and push on with 2.x than continue with v1.50, but 1.50 still exists for those who dont care about that and dont want to update.
you have a spare one laying around ?
V2.03 released. Fixed a bug where data was not written to the second PCM when in PCM mode. Single PCM was unaffected.
was there any progress with the vs-vy models and data issues?
I have installed both 150 and 203 to Tunerpro RT but Tunerpro RT only detects one or the other and it seems to prefer 150. I have to change the names of both adding -150 and -203 to the end of each name to get them both copied over to the plugins folder. Is there a way I can't find yet to have them both selectable in Tunerpro RT and not have to move them in and out of the plugins folder when I want to tune different vehicles?
Sorry, no updates for the MAF pcm issues on 2.x. Its correct that you cant have multiple copies of oseplugin installed at the same time as all oseplugin versions have the same ID as far as tunerpro is concerned.
For cases where you do want to work with MAF and MAP pcms keep installer zips in the plugin dir and extract the one you want before starting tunerpro. They have the same filename so just overwrite each time you extract.

The Ambassadors Theatre was designed by W G R Sprague who designed many West End Theatres including the St Martin's situated next door and the Aldwych Theatre in Covent Garden. It was built by Kingerlee and Sons of Oxford.
The theatre opened on 5th June 1913 with a production of Panthea, a play by Monckton Hoffe which ran for only 15 nights.
The great impresario Charles B. Cochran took a lease on the theatre in 1914 and introduced what was then a new genre of entertainment from Paris, the 'intimate' review. Odds and Ends starring the French actress and singer Alice Delysia ran for over 400 performances. More Odds and Ends followed in 1915.
Vivian Leigh
Subsequently the theatre presented Deburau in 1921 which saw Ivor Novello making his first stage appearance, Eugene O'Neill's The Emperor Jones starring Paul Robeson, The Mask of Virtue in 1935 which saw the West End stage debut of a 22 year old Vivien Leigh and Spring Meeting in 1938 with Margaret Rutherford.
Britain's longest running production The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie opened at The Ambassadors on 25th November 1952 and played here until its 21st Birthday in 1973 when it transferred next door to the larger St Martin's Theatre. The stalls bar of the Ambassadors currently displays a commemorative statuette, which was presented to the theatre by Agatha Christie to celebrate the play's record breaking run.
The Mousetrap
Following The Mousetrap the theatre saw a variety of shows, the most notable at this time was the RSC's hit production of Les Liasions Dangereuses by Christopher Hampton with Alan Rickman.
In 1996 the theatre was transformed into two studio spaces to accommodate the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs who were resident until 1999. After their successful residence the theatre was converted back to its original design and renamed The New Ambassadors Theatre.
Since 1999 the theatre has seen many shows play at this intimate venue including: Some Explicit Polaroids by Mark Ravenhill, Spoonface Steinberg by Lee Hall, Krapp's Last Tape by Samuel Beckett and starring John Hurt, Al Murray the Pub Landlord, Marie Jones' award winning Stones In His Pockets, The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler, The Watermill Theatre's highly acclaimed production of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd and On The Third Day – winner of the Channel Four search for a first time playwright entitled The Play's The Thing.
Most recent productions at the theatre have been Love Song by John Kolvenbach starring Cillian Murphy and Neve Campbell, the political comedy Whipping It Up by Steve Thompson and starring Richard Wilson and Robert Bathurst and the Menier Chocolate Factory's revival of Little Shop of Horrors. The worldwide smash hit Stomp opened in October 2007 and played for over 10 years before closing in January 2018
In June 2007 the theatre reverted back to its original name of The Ambassadors Theatre.

Human is Thrilling, and perhaps Universal
Illustration: Shruti Yatam
By Lakshmi Govindrajan Javeri Jan. 14, 2022
Hotstar's Human asks the all-important question about what it means to be human. That it is set in the world of pharmaceutical opportunism and intrigue is just a coincidence, for this terrific show headlined by Shefali Shah and Kriti Kulhari is a winner.
"What is the value of a poor man's life? At least his death (during a medical trial) has some use", says a character in Hotstar's Human. With spine-chilling nonchalance, this statement sheds light on how the impoverished become collateral damage in pharmaceutical companies' greed for profits, masquerading as medical science's pursuit for discoveries and cures. Hotstar's latest show Human, created and directed by Vipul Amrutlal Shah and Mozez Singh, is a searing look at how dispensable human life is at the altar of insatiable greed.
Hotstar's latest show Human, created and directed by Vipul Amrutlal Shah and Mozez Singh, is a searing look at how dispensable human life is at the altar of insatiable greed.
A pharma company in connivance with a prestigious hospital has been conducting human trials for a drug that it wishes to make popular; the financial health of the company hinges on the drug becoming successful. Therefore, avarice leads to the circumventing of legitimate scientific protocol that in the course of a legal process, would entail much more. Steps are missed, consent is sought unethically, and fatal side-effects are overlooked in a bid to push the drug out into the market in a hurry. What really makes us human is a question that reverberates through the 10-episode Hindi drama set in Bhopal that has universal appeal. Is it our brain and intelligence that set us apart from animals? Is it our presumed understanding of right and wrong? Or is it our wilful ability to behave in a manner that is devoid of any shred of morality?
With slickly shot visuals and a riveting score, the gauntlet has been thrown in this multi-pronged war for survival. Starring Shefali Shah and Kirti Kulhari, who are supported by a brilliant ensemble cast featuring Seema Biswas, Ram Kapoor, Vishal Jethwa, Atul Kumar, Indraneil Sengupta, Aditya Srivastava and Mohan Agashe, the show constantly juxtaposes the lives of the rich and powerful with those of the poor and marginalised. The diabolical arrangement connects a pharma company to unwitting victims via doctors, middle-men, agents and thugs. It plays on the desperation of the poor, using the hunger for more to manipulate one's hunger for food. The cinematography needs specific mention for a hauntingly visual language.
Starring Shefali Shah and Kirti Kulhari, who are supported by a brilliant ensemble cast, the show constantly juxtaposes the lives of the rich and powerful with those of the poor and marginalised.
The creator-directors have taken pains to create a polished modern narrative as surgical scenes are reminiscent of Grey's Anatomy's predilection for blood. This is seen in the kind of relationship dynamics and the articulation of the lines between characters, making it a contemporary series befitting our social mores and mannerisms. The chaos of basti struggles is in stark contrast to the tastefully done interiors of the main actors. So much so after a point one realises that this dissonance also has a kind of uniformity to it, a brutal, marginalising uniformity. The poor man, meanwhile, struggles with getting a job, lives in squalor and holds a naïve belief in doctors, treating them like Gods. If a poor man wishes to not go to a doctor for the "smallest of ailments", the rich one doesn't bat an eyelid to pop pills. Paradoxically, scepticism is the preserve of the rich because the poor are truly at the mercy of the world that sits above them. And this is the reality of the India we live in.
What really makes us human is a question that reverberates through the 10-episode Hindi drama set in Bhopal that has universal appeal.
Yet there is a predictability to the treatment of the good and the evil on the show. An almost Bollywoodisation, if you will, of the narrative that makes it inexcusable in the more nuanced programming world of OTT. The finale rushes to tie loose ends after a slow-burn build of where the story is going. Shefali Shah shows what a thespian she is with her restrained acting even though she overdoes the husky talking for the most part. Ram Kapoor deserved more screen time as his excellent presence is ably matched by his English diction when he switched from Hindi. After the patchiness that was R Madhavan in Decoupled, Ram shows how regular urban Indians speak English. Kirti Kulhari is a revelation as she combines vulnerability with ambition in a way that we can all relate to. Seema Biswas' eyes are all one needs in a shot to set the tone of the scene. Vishal Jethwa, though, was the best of them all. As Mangu, he makes us fall in love with him despite his choices. Human is as slick as it is flawed as it raises some very pertinent questions through top-notch acting performances. Within our collected exteriors lies a turbulent life, making us a sum total of the choices we make. It is as much about the pharma industry and drug trials as it is about our willingness (or not) to look the other way.

Filmmakers these days want to espouse social issues and stigmas but if Atrangi Re's treatment of mental health is anything to go by, these issues would be better left to those who know a thing or two about it.
Pop Culture Cubicles is a Welcome Attempt at Humanising Techies
Engineers, or techies as we call them are everyone's idea for a joke or a gateway to better, more humane things. Cubicles, bravely, tries to tell the stories of those who stay and in doing so, humanises them to an extent.

Pop Culture Sorry Bhaisaab and the Middle Class' faith in Divine Intervention
The Indian middle class is righteous to the point that it believes that right will be done by them. It's also one that contradicts itself on a daily basis .

Q: Linq Query - Using select, group by, joins, functions, and order by at once? I have a fairly complex query that I'm trying to implement via Linq. I'm struggling to find a way to:

*

*Order by a select return (the IFNULL result that's selected is used in the group by)

*Get all the distinct results a group by in sql would

How can I reproduce this query via Linq?
select
company.id
IFNULL(employee.team_name, employee.name) AS team_name
FROM company
INNER JOIN branch on branch.parent_company_id = company.uuid
INNER JOIN map_employee_to_branch on map_employee_to_branch.machine_uuid = branch.uuid
INNER JOIN employee on employee.id = map_employee_to_branch.employee_id
where company.name = "Whatever" AND map_employee_to_branch.isActive = true
GROUP BY map_employee_to_branch.employee_id, company.id
ORDER BY company.id, employee.title, team_name, employee.name

A: I'm going to assume your inner joins are handled by your navigation property mappings, and I'm making some assumptions about your entity property names.
(from company in context.Companies
where company.name = "Whatever"
from branch in company.Branches
from m in branch.MapEmployeeToBranches
where m.IsActive
let employee = m.Employee
select new {
    companyId = company.id,
    employeeId = employee.id
    employee.title,
    teamName = employee.team_name ?? employee.name,
    employee.name
} into projection

'Conflicted Congress': Nancy Pelosi's Portfolio Compared to Buffett
By Mohit Oberoi, CFA
In an explosive report titled "Conflicted Congress," Business Insider noted that several lawmakers and congressional staffers are violating the Obama Era STOCK (The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge) Act. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's stock trades (along with her husband Paul Pelosi) have been at the center of controversy. Several social media handles have been tracking her portfolio and compared her trades to that of legendary value investor Warren Buffett.
The Business Insider report classifies Pelosi's stock trades as borderline, which means that they merit more scrutiny. The report rated 13 members of Congress on the "danger list."
Several lawmakers' stock trades should invite more scrutiny.
Incidentally, while Pelosi and her husband's trades get oversized attention and Republicans have been attacking her for the traders, the Business Insider report finds that lawmakers' stock trades also need more scrutiny across the party lines.
If anything, there are more Republicans on the "danger" and "borderline" lists and fewer of them on the "solid list," which includes lawmakers with a clean record.
Nancy Pelosi has defended her trades.
Pelosi has defended trading in individual stocks by lawmakers pointing to "free markets" and a "free-market economy." Many lawmakers, including some Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have objected to her comments.
Letting Pelosi trade stocks with insider information is like giving a thief a tank before robbing a bank
— Trey's Trades (@TradesTrey) December 15, 2021
Some of the Twitter accounts tracking Pelosi's portfolio have been banned. A popular handle has shifted to Gab. Incidentally, there has been a rise in social media channels that support conservative voices.
Twitter banning transparency tools like the Nanci Pelosi Portfolio Tracker is a big red flag
— David Vorick (@DavidVorick) December 8, 2021
How's Nancy Pelosi's portfolio tracked?
According to the law, Pelosi has to report her stock trades. Her portfolio includes stocks like Apple, Amazon, Nvidia, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Slack. A lot of her trades have been in options, which are a leveraged play on the underlying stock.
Going by the report, Pelosi has made some very profitable trades. For example, she exercised 40 call options to purchase 4,000 Alphabet (GOOG) shares at a strike price of 1,200, which was way below the prevailing stock price of GOOG. Unless it was deep in the money option, it should have been quite a profitable trade.
The week before the House Judiciary Committee voted on reigning in big tech, Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband exercised a bullish bet on Google-parent Alphabet, in a timely transaction that netted him $5.3 million.
It's just luck right? 🤦♂
— Manpreet (@manpreetkailon) July 23, 2021
She purchased 50 call options on Apple with a strike price of $100. Apple stock has since surged. She also bought options on Nvidia and the stock soared to a new record high. However, Nvidia has since corrected sharply from the peaks.
Nancy Pelosi is getting compared to Buffett.
Many of the people against Pelosi have been comparing her with Buffett and Nostradamus. There's a pun intended here and many people think that she has been misusing her position to make these trades. Pelosi has maintained that she has been reporting all of her trades.
It can't be denied that most lawmakers, especially high-ranking ones like Pelosi, are privy to a lot of information that at least retail traders aren't aware of. There could also be instances of conflict of interest. For example, Pelosi has a lot of Big Tech companies in her portfolio that have been facing the heat from lawmakers due to their alleged monopolies.
Now, while lawmakers have been bipartisan in grilling tech executives, Pelosi might have a conflict of interest with her investments when taking on the Big Tech companies.
