New York Hector Ramirez Ana Cuevas M 2014 State Assembly Democrat primary D 2015-05 Absentee/mail Forgery Voter intimidation/coercion 242 Hector Ramirez, who ran for NY State Assembly in 2014, was arrested and charged with 242 counts of voter fraud for going door-to-door in his west Bronx district duping voters into letting his campaign staff vote on their behalf. Victim after victim after victim testified to the grand jury that members of the Ramirez campaign knocked on their door, including Hector Ramirez himself, and said 'Hey, you don't have to go to the polls for this election, just sign here," Assistant District Attorney Pishoy Yacoub said in Bronx Supreme Court. Ramirez's staff tricked citizens in the 86th District into authorizing Ramirez aides to hand in their absentee ballots to the Board of Elections. Prosecutors found the names of Ramirez staffers in the box marked "I authorize" on dozens of the duped voters' applications for an absentee ballot, and those voters never got their ballots back. Ramirez marked down at least 35 of the ballots as votes for himself in the Democratic primary against incumbent Victor Pichardo. Campaign aide Ana Cuevas was also charged in connection with the alleged scheme. Ramirez edged out Pichardo by 11 votes in the original count — out of just over 3,517 total tallies in the largely poor district — but ended up losing by two votes after a hand recount. http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/bronx-politician-hector-ramirez-bu... https://nyelectionsnews.wordpress.com/2015/05/20/bronx-da-indicts-former-assembl... http://www.scribd.com/doc/265940256/Indictment-Ramirez-Hector-Cuevas-Ana-Redacte...

On Fridays I have lunch with my host family.
Now that school is back in session, I wasn't sure who would answer the door. Then again, of all the people who I would've guessed, Fatima, my youngest host aunt, would not have been on that list.
She's the latest victim of disrupted education.
I really thought her road would be different. I thought she'd complete high school at the very least.
She doesn't even get to start high school.
I asked her several times why she wasn't going to school anymore. Each time I received a lot of ambiguous responses.
She doesn't want to anymore?
Bullsh*t. I don't buy that.
In other news, Rkiya and Hayat, my two host sisters, are both in school now. They both go to school at noon on Fridays, which means I don't get to have lunch with them anymore. I'm thinking of switching my host family lunch day to Saturdays so that I still get to spend time with them when I visit my host family.
While waiting at the taxi spot in site, a man named M'barek approached me with a project to do in another douar. The sbitar in D'har doesn't have electricity.
This man was asking if I could help get electricity to that douar. Mohamed, the president of D'har, works in Rabat near the Peace Corps office.
M'barek and I exchanged contact info, he also gave me Mohamed's cell phone number too.
Intrigued…hope I can do something for this douar.
Lately, I've been in the mood to stay in site.
New discovery: Chocolate chips are sold in Essaouira!!!
1 kg of chocolate chips costs 55 dirhams.
What better way to be greeted upon returning to site than a bunch of gendarmes standing at the entrance of and on the road above Imi nTlit.
What's going on, I asked.
Apparently a guy was murdered on his way to souk. His throat, neck, and possibly arms and legs were slit.
Don't worry though – the gendarmes and community have reassured me that the murder was a form of retaliation for an on-going dispute about land and money.
When are disputes not about land and money here?

Noplace, Oslo proudly presents:
Cecilia Jiménez Ojeda
Opening: Saturday 30.05.15, 14:00 - 18:00
She sits on a chair hunched over a sheet of paper positioned on a tall, tilted desk. Let's sneak up on her and inspect her from behind. Careful not to interrupt her—you can tell she is very concentrated. Her shoulders are raised and her head is close to the paper onto which she is busy applying graphite with a propelling pencil. Headphone cables sticking out of her ears connect to a Mac Powerbook resting higher up on the sloping table, above her drawing. If we lean in close to her cheap headphones we can hear a high-pitched hum of indiscernible dialogue, interrupted by a laugh track. In a browser-window occupying only a fraction of the 17" screen, an episode of the well-known sitcom That 70s Show is playing. The visual component is in this case secondary to the audio—evidenced by how part of said window is covered by another, somewhat bigger window. This other, bigger window displays a zoom-in on a photograph of a section of burnt paper. Her focused gaze alternates between the image of the ashes on her screen and the representation that she is slowly and meticulously developing on the paper in front of her. Her eyes only veer to the sitcom-window when it's time to start a new episode.
It appears her attention is split between two contradictory informational environments, then. This partitioning is employed toward a specific end: The comedy, only registered via audio, induces a state of being-entertained. The disciplining of the ego required to make these detailed, time-consuming drawings, and the desire for reward that this investment gives rise to, is alleviated by the immediate joy derived from comedy—pre-empting the fatigue that would otherwise result from such long exercises in impulse control and reward delay. The key here is that, unlike the visual input, which informs her drawing, the sound she takes in doesn't cue physical action. She is able to relax her mind with comedy while, importantly, retaining the executive focus required to perform highly skilled—even creative—labour. Her audio-only hook-up to swefilmer.com forestalls the pleasure-seeking impulse that plagues and often ruins the work flow of the self-employed.
The need for diversion is understandable as her drawing technique is very taxing: The surface is to be covered with a dense texture of small, precise marks. One drawing measuring 30x30 cm takes several weeks to complete. In addition to mental taxation, this working mode also requires long stretches of time spent in a static position that is very straining for certain parts of her physiology—particularly her neck and shoulders. Predictably, this continued strain frequently results in cramped muscles that leave her incapacitated for days.
During these periods of incapacity she walks around the apartment with a notably upright posture, wearing a constant expression of haughty dissatisfaction on her face, refusing to do any physical work short of lifting a fork to her hard-lined mouth, on the grounds that it supposedly risks worsening her condition. Suddenly she has been transformed into a precious 19th century aristocrat (or someone out of that other show she binged recently—Vampire Diaries) ruminating on the misanthropic implications of some esoteric philosophical system while her spouse has to cater to all her physical needs. But when drawing her posture reminds more of a sweat shop worker's—see for yourself—performing an extremely repetitive task for hours on end. Imagine an employee in the Cambodian clothing industry with high bandwidth internet access to keep her distracted during her 14 hour shift, as well as a man servant to cook for her, serve coffee and tie her shoelaces.
Currently, though, her neck is doing fine. However, there is risk involved in her parallel processing method too. Every now and then her system errs. It's not that the two processes get tangled (although it can't be ruled out that signals bleed past their ascribed paths every now and then, and that somewhere, buried deep in these abstract-looking graphite drawings are traces of Dexter, or Game of Thrones). The main issue with her method is that the two processes, although separate, are consigned to the same body. They are sharing a medium, so to speak. That's fine as long as only one of them is set to guide this body's interactions with the external environment, while the result of the other is purely affective. But then there are moments when a line of dialogue (like Jackie's "If I could run across the beach into my own arms, I would".) is just too good and demands a proper response. Regardless of cause, these "interferences", or "temporary breakdowns", entail a loss of behavioural control, which, needless to say, is potentially disastrous when you are opting for the kind of precision that she is. Something inside her presses eject, a brief spasm takes hold and a hard cackle escapes her mouth.
The problem, though, isn't the spasm—the spasm might lead to an involuntary pencil mark on the paper, yes. But that can quickly be fixed with an eraser. The real problem is the fine rain of spittle that accompanies the outburst, and which gets absorbed in the paper, where it leaves unwelcome blotches. The repressed, in the form of something as painfully symbolic as bodily fluids, has intervened on her perfect surfaces. It's as if her second cognition, the one given the less honourable task of keeping the lowly parts of the organism entertained and subdued had birthed a rebellious spirit that makes its presence known by attacking the work with aggressive, hyena-like barks. If you look closely you can see how the pencil marks are dissolved in places where her spit droplets has impacted the paper. She is already hard at work trying to cover them up, conflicted creature that she is.

Friends of SLlP
SLIP congratulates Sr Mary Sweeney- PDSA 2016
News Published on Saturday 17th September 2016 on site of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
2016 Presidential Distinguished Service Awards for the Irish Abroad Recipients announced by Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Mr Charles Flanagan, T.D.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Mr Charles Flanagan, T.D., has announced the names of the recipients of the Presidential Distinguished Service Award for the Irish Abroad for 2016.
The Presidential Distinguished Service Award was established by the Government following the 2011 Global Irish Economic Forum as a means to recognise the contribution of members of the Irish diaspora and the first awards were made in 2012.
Nominations are made by Irish communities abroad through Ireland's network of Diplomatic Missions.
Announcing the recipients of the 2016 Awards, Minister Flanagan said:
"I am delighted that once again we have the opportunity to recognise some of the finest members of our diaspora for their contribution to Ireland, the Irish community abroad and Ireland's reputation. In the ever changing world we live in, this remarkable group of individuals have been a constant beacon for Ireland and the values we hold dear.
"This year, for the first time Awards will be presented in the category of Science, Technology and Innovation, reflecting both the important place of this sector in our dynamic economy and Ireland's track record of achievement in this area. Receiving an Award in this category is Garret FitzGerald who, in his role as a globally recognised research physician and scientist, has continued to be an active member of our diaspora and is closely engaged in facilitating scientific endeavour in Ireland.
"This year's recipients also include the late Sir Terry Wogan who will receive a posthumous award. Through his long and universally acclaimed broadcasting career, he always reflected all that is good about Ireland and the Irish community in Britain."
Minister for Diaspora Affairs and International Development, Joe McHugh T.D, added:
"This year's Presidential Distinguished Service Award recipients signify the breadth and richness of our diaspora. They include those working with the most marginalised and vulnerable, those who have become the voice for those who have none.
"Through their work as community activists for many years in New York, Brendan Fay and Kathleen Walsh D'Arcy have secured rights and recognition for LGBT members of the Irish community. And, in the very challenging environment of Sierra Leone,
Sr. Mary Sweeney has worked tirelessly for local communities and most recently she has played a significant role in coordinating a response to the Ebola epidemic."
The full list of recipients of Presidential Distinguished Service Awards in 2016 are:
Arts, Culture and Sport
Angela Brady (UK)
Terry Wogan (Deceased – UK) – presented posthumously
Robert Kearns (Canada)
Gerald Lawless (UAE)

Brendan Fay (US)
Kathleen Walsh D'Arcy (US)
Peace, Reconciliation and Development
Martin Von Hildebrand (Colombia)
Sr. Mary Sweeney (Sierra Leone)

The Awards will be presented later this year by President Higgins.
Note for Editors

In order to be eligible for consideration, nominees must be habitually resident outside the island of Ireland and are required to satisfy the following additional requirements:

This Panel includes: Mr Niall Burgess, Secretary General of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (Chair), Mr Martin Fraser, Secretary General of the Department of the Taoiseach; Mr Art O'Leary, Secretary General to the President; and four representatives from the non-Government sector- Ms Sally O'Neill Sanchez, Prof Declan Kiberd, Mr Kingsley Aikins and Fr Bobby Gilmore.
Nominations were made by Irish communities abroad through Ireland's network of Diplomatic Missions.

He is currently Vice-President of the Dubai Irish Business Network.
The son of Irish emigrants, Norman McClelland, is a businessman and philanthropist based in Phoenix, Arizona. His philanthropic endeavours have spanned the creation of one of the largest urban parks in the world; through sustained support for the St. Mary's food bank, to whom he gives 80,000 pounds of food per month; and donating the college of management to Arizona State University; to the building of the Phoenix Irish Centre, Library and Genealogical Centre.
A member of the Global Irish Network, Mr. McClelland is proud of his Scots Irish heritage, with roots in Newry, and works hard to support an open and accepting Irish identity, inclusive of all the traditions of the island.

Shortly afterwards, Nora become a member of the Management Committee of Southwark Irish Pensioners' Project in South London and has been involved with this organisation ever since.
She is currently Chair of the Southwark Irish Pensioners, one of the largest Irish community organisations in south London. The organisation provides a lunch club and welfare support and outreach to hundreds of vulnerable older Irish people in the area. Ms Higgins has been a tireless campaigner for older Irish people in Britain and spoke about her experiences as an emigrant in the 1950s in a very moving and memorable intervention at the Global Irish Economic Forum in Dublin in 2013.
Brendan Fay, a community activist, theologian, filmmaker and public speaker, is Co-Founder of the LGBT group, Lavender and Green Alliance. He was also a founding member of the Irish AIDS Outreach organisation in 1996 which sought to break the silence around AIDS in the Irish community in New York.

Along with Kathleen Walsh D'Arcy, he worked for years to secure the right of Irish gay groups to march in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in NYC, a right which was finally won in 2016.

Martín von Hildebrand is an ethnologist and activist for indigenous and environmental rights who has played a key role in protecting the Colombian Amazon from illegal resource exploitation, principally mining, and in ensuring that indigenous communities living in these areas can exercise their legal and constitutional rights to manage their territories.
Von Hildebrand was born in the US of an Irish mother and a German father. He studied in UCD in the 1960s, as well as at the Sorbonne and has devoted his life's work to promoting economic, social and environmental rights in the Colombian Amazon. In the 1990s, he founded the Colombian NGO, Fundación Gaia Amazonas which works to empower indigenous communities in the Amazon to exercise their constitutional rights to protect and manage their own territories, to protect the Amazonian ecosystem and support sustainable livelihoods and food security and sovereignty. Mr Von Hildebrand is now working on a project to connect and protect the interdependent ecosystems of the Andes, Amazon and Atlantic Coast of South America, spanning a number of countries including Colombia, Brazil and Venezuela.
Sr. Mary Sweeney has worked tirelessly for over forty years, often with limited support, in the extremely challenging environment that is Sierra Leone. Through her efforts in establishing the St Joseph's School for the Hearing Impaired in Makeni, she has given education, skills training and life opportunities to the most vulnerable of people; children with a disability in a developing country. Notably, she remained in Makeni to keep the school open during the brutal civil war in the 1990s, and more recently she has played a significant role in coordinating much-needed support for the Ebola response in Makeni.
Sr. Sweeney has in recent years widened her ambitions and focussed her energies on promoting the development of a curriculum for the training of teachers for special needs education in Sierra Leone.

Teachers beat up Dalit student, mother demands action
A teacher and headmaster of a Government Higher Secondary School in Pollachi allegedly assaulted a class 11 student physically as he belonged to the Dalit community. The boy's mother approached the Collectorate today seeking action against the two.
According to S. Palaniammal of Malayandipattanam in Pollachi, her son S. Anand a Class 11 student of the A. Nagur Higher Secondary School, was abused by his art teacher and the headmaster in front of his classmates on October 5. They also assaulted him, saying the school would not allow Dalit students to study.
"My son came home with bruises and told me what happened. When I approached the headmaster, he claimed that the school was meant only for caste Hindu students," she said in her petition.
Despite a complaint with the Gomangalam police station, no action was taken against the two, she added. "I request the administration to take action against the culprits and allow my son to pursue his education in the same school immediately," she said.
The petition was submitted to District Collector T.N. Hariharan.

Mutiny on the Bounty (1962) was on Turner Classic Movies earlier today. Watching the film again reminded me that it will probably be lost in the shuffle as one of Marlon Brando's more overlooked performances.
But that is a shame, since it is not only a quality work in its own right but also details a fascinating real-life historical series of events. The film headlines Brando, Trevor Howard, and Richard Harris as tells the story of the famous mutiny.
via Wikipedia:
The film retells the 1789 real-life mutiny aboard HMAV Bounty led by Fletcher Christian against the ship's captain, William Bligh. It is the second American film to be made from the novel, the first being Mutiny on the Bounty (1935). It was directed by Lewis Milestone, who replaced Carol Reed early in the production schedule, and it turned out to be Milestone's final film.

The TV show 'Big Little Lies' is an absolute hit this season. The mini TV series of seven episodes describes a life of a few apparently perfect families, located in a beachfront town of Monterey, Calif. Every family has a little secret, that as show goes further, we realize that this 'little' secret becomes a huge problem. But, I don't want to spoil the story in a case that you just started watching it.
One of these families are Mackenzie's – a wealthy family with a beautiful, beachfront home.
At first, I thought to write one article about all interiors from this show, but then I realized how different style every family has in decorating, so all of these homes need to be analyzed separately.
And today's post is about Mackenzie's and their beautiful, coastal home. The family members are a mother Madeline (Reese Witherspoon), a father Ed (Adam Scott), their first-grader daughter Chloe (Darby Camp) and Madeline's teenage daughter from first marriage, Abigail (Kathryn Newton).
This family has a beautiful home, decorated in coastal style with a spacious, white kitchen with a huge island that anybody would want to have in their homes. Most of the home is decorated in a combination of coastal and traditional style, and dominant colors in all rooms are bright tones of white and beige.
Kitchen island from the show is probably custom made for the set, but I managed to find one product that could easily fit to a bright, beach house like this one. This kitchen island comes together with beautiful, white bar stools that look pretty much like the original stools from the TV show.
Large and stylish refrigerator makes any kitchen stylish and luxurious. This particular fridge looks very much alike the one from the set and it has full sized food storage unit. It also features full-width cantilever glass shelves and performance lighting.
Bar Stools from the set are designed in coastal style, and Sunny Designs Bourbon Country 24″ Ladder Back Counter Stool is a product that could definitely fit into a kitchen inspired by this interior design style. These bar stools are slightly different from the original ones – motif on its back is different, but I didn't managed to find exact the same seat stool in any of online stores.
The second 'Beach' wall art is a little bit more expensive in comparison with the first one. This 'Beach This Way' Textual Art Plaque by Beachcrest Home is handcrafted from 100% wood slats, and the artwork is printed directly on wood.
The living room is bright and cozy space with a great sea view. I captured this screenshot from the second episode while Madeline and Ed were talking at the end of the day, so it maybe seems darker than it actually is.
This armchair would surely fit in an interior inspired by the coastal style from Mackenzie's home. This armchair is a solid and sturdy piece of furniture with a timeless design that combines elegance and quality.
Curved sectionals are very trendy pieces of furniture. If you carefully watched, you maybe noticed that there's also one in Renata Klein's living room. These sectionals are also pieces that combine style, comfort, and functionality. I didn't manage to find the one curved sectional that looks identical like to one from set, but the Cosmo Sectional by New Spec Inc is the most similar I could find.
Most of the house is bright, simply, but luxuriously equipped. But we can see in a master bedroom a touch of luxury that channels Madeline's extravagant personality.
This club chair looks very similar to the original chair from the set. Its attractive silhouette with rolled arms and tapered wood legs will add a stylish and a little bit of extravagant touch to any room, and it's perfect for home inspired by Mackenzie's.
Caress Platform Bed looks very similar to the Wingback bed from Madeline's and Ed's room. It's a great and high-quality piece of furniture that combines traditional elements with the modern design.
Abigail's room is a classic teenage girl's room with pink and white as the dominant colors. Her furniture is simple and casual as most of the teenagers' rooms.
Allerton Queen Platform Bed is the perfect choice for a teenage girl's room. This bed is stylish, simple and it has a timeless, classic design that adds a touch of an elegance to any room, and it is very similar to the bed from 'Big Little Lies' set.
Seemi-Sheer Bamboo Roman Shade is a timeless and stylish addition to any home that combines a simplicity and functionality. This type of Roman shades is great for a beach home like Mackenzie's because it keeps the sun at bay.
It Starts With A Kiss XOXO Throw Pillow has the different design, but the message is the same. This pillow is great for decorating a teenage girl's room. and it's definitely great and affordable choice for decorating your room in Abigail's style. It's also available in gray with pink letters.

Senior Honor Society Holds Art Auction
Elli Ament, Staff Writer
The Senior Honor Society held its annual auction last week to support two local indigenous groups. The virtual, silent auction ran from April 19 through April 25, with all proceeds benefiting Akweku Osh^he Yukwayote, a nonprofit run by nine Oneida woman and the Shako:wi Cultural Center, a cultural nonprofit that educates and preserves the tradition of the Oneida nation. The annual event was held as an art auction for the first time this year, featuring items including handmade earrings, custom painted jackets, photo prints of campus and hand-painted art by students at their recent art-making events.
"Obviously, this year [the auction] had to take a different shape because of COVID-19, but we also wanted to think through how to build community through our auction, which we had heard had waned in participation in the past few years," Senior Honor Society vice president Jake Gómez said. "We thought that highlighting the talent of our community could be a way to expand the auction to more parts of campus, as well as making the auction totally virtual."
Junior Eliza Leal, a recent inductee to the Senior Honor Society, said her and other new inductees' roles in the event included staffing the group's free community art-making events that took place April 8, 13 and 20.
"We've been helping out with volunteering, getting supplies and getting the word out," Leal said. "It was definitely a community-based effort so we could have a diverse selection on the auction website."
Junior Jack Underhill, who worked alongside Leal as a recent inductee to the Senior Honor Society, reflected on Colgate's history with the Oneida people being closely tied to the auction.
"Our participation as students at Colgate is connected intimately to the exploitation of indigenous lands, and supporting indigenous people has been a focus of the Senior Honor Society this year, including the effort towards a name change," Underhill said. "Acknowledging this and working to support those groups today is imperative."
Underhill also noted how the auction can help bring awareness and conversation about Colgate's relationship with the Oneida people.
"By actively working to seek out these movements and use the auction to support them, SHS can work to put some of these conversations on the radar of the Colgate campus and lead the community towards more robustly understanding our relationship to indigenous people whose land we occupy," Underhill said.
Leal reflected on the goals of the auction to bring people together and spread awareness.
"The goal of the auction is to allow students, faculty and people affiliated with Colgate to demonstrate their interest with art and express it for a very noble cause," Leal said. "Doing this fundraising for those groups of people that are within our area that many students may not know about is reflective of the social legacy this auction wants to leave here."
Gómez explained that although the art auction's first year was "wildly successful," with nearly 100 art donations and raising over $2000, the group may look to reevaluate the format next year to make it more accessible and simple.
"I am not sure if we will do the format again, only because it was an incredible amount of work and months of planning on our parts," Gómez said. "I don't think that auctions are the most accessible forms of charity donation, so I think we need to go back to the drawing board and consider how else we can foster community involvement in our initiatives."
Despite possible re-evaluation next year, Gómez expressed appreciation for what the auction represented and accomplished.
"From a hand-carved ice cream scoop to beautiful paintings to stunning photos of Colgate, the auction demonstrated to our wide-reaching community just how fortunate Colgate is to have such talent on campus," Gómez said. "What is really cool is that original artwork from our talented communities will find new homes on the walls of bidders and that a lot of money is being put to great causes."
Leal echoed this sentiment on the auction's connection to the Senior Honor Society's core values.
"The Senior Honor Society focuses a lot on community empowerment and tradition and harvesting efforts throughout its time to bring students together in a multifaceted way while also maintaining the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion in everything they do," Leal said. "I think the auction is emblematic of that."

Danny Collins (A PopEntertainment.com Movie Review)
Posted on April 19, 2015 by popenterta Leave a comment
DANNY COLLINS (2015)
Starring Al Pacino, Annette Bening, Christopher Plummer, Jennifer Garner, Bobby Cannavale, Giselle Eisenberg, Melissa Benoist, Josh Peck, Katarina Cas, Thomas Smith, Eric Schneider and Don Was.
Screenplay by Dan Fogelman.
Directed by Dan Fogelman.
Distributed by Bleecker Street Pictures. 106 minutes. Rated R.
It has been way too long since Al Pacino has received a role worthy of his talents. It is somewhat surprising that this feel-good comedy is the one to finally break that streak. Though the lead character of Danny Collins is very different from Pacino in many ways (he is an aging pop star who sold out for fame), it is easy to see why this role resonated for Pacino. It is also easy to see how he would use his own experiences in show business to inform his work and add depth to the role.
The opening scroll reads that the movie is "kind of based on a true story a little bit" and that is absolutely true. Danny Collins is loosely based on the story of folk singer Steve Tilston, who discussed how much of a fan he was of John Lennon's in an early 70s interview right as he was on the verge of hitting it big. He also stated that he was worried that fame might affect his songwriting. Turns out that Lennon wrote Tilston a letter, congratulating him on being true to his artistry and reminding him to never let stardom become more important than the art. Lennon gave Tilston his phone number and suggested he call. Problem was, the letter never made it to Tilston, and he did not find out about its existence until he was contacted by a memorabilia collector in 2005, nearly 35 years after it was written and 25 years after Lennon was murdered. That is where the story leaves Tilston, though, for he never found the fame that was expected for him and his career in no way mirrored Danny's.
Danny Collins is undoubtedly loosely based on several different artists from the time, though it appears to a certain extent that he is mostly based on Neil Diamond. Like Collins, he was a respected singer/songwriter who started out as a terrific songsmith, but he slowly sold out his values to embrace a slick show business persona. The first concert we see Collins giving in the film is at LA's Greek Theater, the site of two famous Diamond live albums. And Danny Collins' bigger hit, "Hey, Baby Doll," coincidentally or not sounds more than a bit like Diamond's biggest sing-a-long "Sweet Caroline." Also, late in his career he made a back-to-basics move, recording some introspective (if slow-selling) artistically adventurous albums.
Then again, Collins' entire career path doesn't quite make sense if you think about it. He is supposedly a long-time superstar on his third greatest hits compilation, but his fans only seem to know one song, "Hey, Baby Doll." Intellectually, I realize that is because the filmmakers only bothered to write two songs for the film (the rest of the movie's soundtrack is made up of old John Lennon solo ballads), but it is a bit of cheat to the character. He's been recording and touring for 40 years and still the fans only want to hear one song?
Danny Collins starts with the fateful interview. A young Danny has just released his debut album, a smart and acclaimed folk record that shows him to be a talent to be reckoned with. Fast forward 40 years and Danny Collins has become a monument to shiny, cheesy nostalgia. After the flop of that debut, Collins gave up his songwriting and allowed the label to pick songs for him (unlike Diamond, who was a songwriter before he was a singer and never stopped writing his own music). He has become a huge star, complete with a swanky Beverly Hills mansion, all the money he needs, a way-too-young-for-him gold-digging trophy fiancée and a swiftly aging fan base. And, though he won't even admit it to himself, he has come to consider himself a joke, a hack, a marginally talented entertainer who just got lucky.
The Lennon note is a birthday gift from his long-time manager and best friend (Christopher Plummer). He had recently found out about a letter that Lennon had written Danny in 1971, purchasing it from a collector. Collins is overwhelmed by the letter, causing him to reflect on his entire life and career. What if things had been different and he had received the letter which Lennon had written to him. How would his life have changed? Would he still be writing his own songs? Would he have lived his crazy rock star life? Would he still like his work, and by extension himself?
Collins decides to make some serious changes in his life. He cancels the tour, breaks up with his clinging fiancée and decides to disappear for a while. He also decides that he wants to meet a grown son who sprung from a backstage one-night-stand thirty years earlier. He had always tried to pay for the kid's upbringing, but the mother refused. Now she had died of cancer and all attempts he had made to contact Tom (Bobby Canavale) had been met by silence. So he moves into a New Jersey Hilton Hotel "indefinitely" as he tries to get his life back in order and maybe even reignite his passion as an artist.
While there, he flirts reflexively with the nice but apparently uninterested but "age-appropriate" hotel manager (Annette Bening), tries to play matchmaker for a cute pair of hotel employees (Melissa Benoit and Josh Peck) and attempts, haltingly, to do his first songwriting in years. And despite resistance from his son and his beautiful wife (Jennifer Garner) and daughter (Giselle Eisenberg), Collins tries to win his way back into his family's life.
In the long run, Danny Collins ends up taking some easy ways out and occasionally being a little lighter than necessary, however it is a surprisingly touching and enjoyable little film.

Jets' great Hill elected to Pro Football Hall of Fame
Andy Vasquez
Bergen Record
Winston Hill, the best offensive lineman in Jets' history and a key part of the franchise's only Super Bowl championship team, is finally headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Hill, who was the starting left tackle on the Jets' team that shocked the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III, will join the Hall of Fame as part of its special Centennial Class, which was announced Wednesday morning.
He still holds the franchise record for offensive lineman with 174 consecutive starts and 195 games played. Hill, who died in 2016 at the age of 74, was a three-time first-team All Pro and selected to a franchise-record eight all-star games.
"I am beyond thrilled that Winston will join football's immortals in Canton," Jets CEO Christopher Johnson said on the team's website. "Winston was a generational talent who became our greatest pillar along the offensive line. He was a durable champion who was blessed with an uncommon humility. Loved by his teammates, Winston was a towering figure inside the locker room and his presence is forever lasting."
Hill was drafted by the Colts in the 11th round of the 1963 NFL Draft, but ended up signing with the Jets where the 6-foot-4, 270-pound Texas native became a staple on the offensive line for the next decade-plus. He protected Joe Namath's blind side and opened holes for franchise great running backs Matt Snell and Emerson Boozer.
Hill becomes the fourth key figure from the Jets' 1968 Super Bowl team to be enshrined in Canton, joining quarterback Joe Namath, receiver Don Maynard and coach Webb Ewbank. All of them were part of the Jets' first Ring of Honor Class in 2010.
At his best, Hill was one of the most dominant offensive linemen in the game, earning seven straight all-star selections beginning in 1967 (AFL All-Star from 1967-69, Pro Bowler from 1970-73). His dominant performance in Super Bowl III is one of the biggest reasons the Jets were able to beat the Colts -- despite being 18-point underdogs -- in one of the biggest upsets in sports history.
After 14 seasons with the Jets, Hill played three games with the Los Angeles Rams in 1977 before retiring.
Hill joins Namath, Maynard, Ewbank, Curtis Martin and Kevin Mawae as the only members of the Hall of Fame who were inducted primarily because of their work with the Jets.
The Hall of Fame commissioned a special "blue-ribbon panel" to select the 15-member Centennial Class earlier this month. Hill joins a total of 10 seniors (players who played more than 25 years ago), three contributors and two coaches were selected to the class, including former Giants general manager George Young.
The Hall of Fame will announce its 2020 class of modern era players next month, the day before the Super Bowl. The class of 2020 and some of the Centennial Class will be immortalized at the annual enshrinement ceremony in August, with the rest of the Centennial Class being enshrined at the league's centennial celebration in September.

Fatal two-car accident shuts down Route 1
Bill Sanservino
A fatal car accident occurred on Route 1 North near the Meadow Road overpass. (Google Maps file photo.)
A Plainsboro man was killed in a two-car accident on Route 1 in West Windsor that occurred at 9:30 p.m. on Jan. 7.
West Windsor Officer Frank LaTorre, the department's lead traffic investigator, said that two vehicles, a silver 2017 Hyundai Elantra, driven by a 29-year-old man from North Brunswick, and a gray 2008 Infiniti G35, driven the 32-year-old Plainsboro man, were both traveling northbound on Route 1 North near the area of The Square at West Windsor shopping center before the Meadow Road overpass when the accident occurred.
LaTorre said the Infiniti struck the concrete median barrier, bounced into the center lane and hit the back corner of the Hyundai, which caused that car to slide nose first into the median. The Infiniti then went off the roadway to the right, striking and shattering a PSE&G utility pole. The car became airborne and then struck a tree roof-first, crushing the driver's compartment.
Emergency services responded and pronounced the driver of the Infiniti dead at the scene. No other injuries were reported to the driver of the Hyundai or his 25-tear-old wife, who was a passenger. Police have not yet released the identity of the man killed in the crash pending notification of relatives.
The accident closed Route 1 North for more than three hours while authorities conducted an on-scene investigation, and PSE&G performed pole repairs throughout the night.
LaTorre is continuing to investigate the crash and is asking any witnesses to contact the police department at (609) 799-1222 or latorre@westwindsorpolice.com.
West Windsor Police responding to the scene were patrol officers and members of the Detective and Traffic bureaus. Also responding were personnel from West Windsor Department of Fire and Emergency Services, the West Windsor Volunteer Fire Co. and the Princeton Junction Volunteer Fire Co.
Also responding were the Mercer County Prosecutors Office Serious Collision Response Team, the Mobile Intensive Care Unit, the Middlesex County Medical Examiner's Office and Lawrence Township Emergency Services.

text: The Shepherd of the Hills www.oldmatt.com is one of the original attractions of the area. The book is fiction but is based on actual places and some real people. The Homestead tour has interesting depictions from the book. In 2013, the owner of Shepherd of the Hills was losing his fight with cancer and the attraction was listed for sale. When no buyer came forward, the drama closed down in Oct. Sadly, the owner died shortly after that. We were brokenhearted for the loss of the man whose vision had provided the area with a wonderful attraction and also for the loss of a beloved piece of area history. In spring of 2014, the family announced there had been an overwhelming outpouring of support for them and for the drama to continue, so the decision was made to reopen on a somewhat limited schedule. Last year, the entire complex was sold to a company that seems to have big plans for it. We certainly hope it will retain the original charm and history. While the drama is very enjoyable without reading the book first, I do recommend reading the book. It gives a lot of insight into the story and makes the drama much more enlightening.

Extreme heat is rolling through South Asia as climate change brings summer weather early. Temperatures are already pushing past 120°F in some regions.
The current heat waves are severe—this year, India recorded its hottest March and April in more than a century. Some schools have shut down early, hospitals are on alert, and at least 25 people have died from heatstroke.
"Before human activities increased global temperatures, we would have seen the heat that hit India earlier this month around once in 50 years," Mariam Zachariah, who researches water and climate at the Grantham Institute at Imperial College London, told The Guardian. "But now it is a much more common event—we can expect such high temperatures about once in every four years."
Many in the region have no respite. Only a fraction of people in South Asia have access to air conditioning; as of 2019, just 7 percent of Indian households had AC. Even so, use of cooling technology has been skyrocketing—so much so that the Indian states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Andhra Pradesh are imposing power cuts on factories to cut down on energy consumption. In the midst of the heat waves, India is also facing a potential energy crisis as reserves of coal, their main source of electricity, run thin.

These prolonged periods of extreme heat are untenable for human health. "[With] heat plus humidity, at some stage [it] becomes almost impossible for the human body's organs to function normally," Ulka Kelkar, a Bengaluru-based economist and climate change expert with the World Resources Institute, told NPR. "Basically the body just cannot cool itself, and a large fraction of our population in India still works outside in the fields, on building construction, in factories which are not cooled."
In addition to the heatwaves, there has also been a lack of rainfall this season, stressing many regions' water supply. And the drought will likely continue until the annual monsoon rains later in the summer. The extreme heat is also shriveling up India's grain supply, forecasting a disappointing harvest this year that will hurt local farmers as well as the region's economy at large.
The intense heat strained the regions' Muslim populations, who were fasting for Ramadan during the month of April. The Indian state of Bihar advised its people to not leave their homes after midday, causing economic harm to local businesses. "People have been staying inside their house in [the] day time. We are struggling to earn a livelihood," Rameshwar Paswan, a rickshaw puller, told Australia's ABC News.
This extreme weather is "part of a broader climate-change signal," Amir AghaKouchak, a climate researcher at the University of California, Irvine, told Tech Review. Even incremental increases in global temperature will cause extreme heat events like this to become more and more frequent.

Concerns over planned 2,500-home development in Twyford
Jade Kidd

11:45AM, Tuesday 11 January 2022
A borough councillor for Twyford has raised concerns over outline plans for a new sustainable neighbourhood to the east of the village.
The proposals by homebuilder Berkeley are currently out for public consultation.
Plans include 2,500 low carbon homes, as well as new business space and community amenities such as parks, shops, a health centre, primary school and nursery.
The homes, which would be designed individually to 'respect local character', would see 35 per cent available to people in the local area through affordable housing schemes.
The housing could include a mixture of key worker, affordable rented and shared ownership properties.
The new neighbourhood, called Twyford Gardens would be 'directly connected' to the main line train services and the Elizabeth Line through a new railway station.
A mixture of new infrastructure would be provided, including a relief road to 'ease' congestion in the centre of Twyford, a new local bus interchange, and a network of open green spaces, parks and wildlife corridors, such as newly made wetlands, ponds, woodland, swales, hedgerows and tree belts.
The existing habitats will be 'carefully enhanced, persevered and joined together with new natural spaces'.
The landscape would 'support more wildlife' and also be open for the community with green walking and cycling routes and a mixture of community gardens, parks, sports pitches, playing fields and allotments.
Developers say the proposals could be an 'alternative' to the 'additional large-scale developments' in the south of Wokingham Borough, proposed in the draft Local Plan that is currently being consulted on.
Discussing the outline proposals, Cllr Stephen Conway (Lib Dem, Twyford), who previously said he was 'utterly opposed' to the plans and that they would affect Twyford 'disastrously', explained: "The developers are clearly keen to pursue this site. But it is not in the draft local plan and its green belt status makes it unlikely it will find its way into the final version.
"It would nearly double the size of Twyford and Ruscombe. It would place enormous pressure in local infrastructure.
"It would add greatly to pollution at the village crossroads, as vehicles going from the new development to the [existing] station would go through the crossroads to get there."
He added: "I have no confidence that the developers would deliver a new station.
"If by some means they got the site into the local plan, I suspect they would then find the new station impossibly expensive to deliver and the idea would then be dropped, leaving us with the problem I described with a great increase in traffic trying to reach the existing station."
A spokesperson for Berkeley said: "Local authorities can review Green Belt boundaries when they update their Local Plans.
"In this case Twyford Gardens is sustainably located close to the borough's best public transport links, within an area of exceptionally high housing need and would help to reduce development pressures on the south of the Borough where 97 per cent of homes have been built in recent years."

New solo round the world boat
Elaine Bunting
Hull No. 1 of a new solo canting keel one-design. But who'll go for it?
Another new Open 60 emerges from the shed? No, not this time, though from the hull shape you could be forgiven for thinking so.
This is hull no. 1 of a new round the world one-design race being taking from JMV Industries in Cherbourg for fit-out at V1D2 in Caen. It's a lookalike Open-style 50-footer for solo sailing, neatly fitting into the size range that has become extinct in the all the big ocean races. The carbon canting keeler was designed by Groupe Finot, with input from top sailor Michel Desjoyeaux, so the similarity to a 60 isn't too suprising.
The SolOceans race will run round the world from France in 2009, stopping only in New Zealand. It's the idea of Yvan Griboval, who has title sponsorship from waste management company Véolia, and the thinking behind it is to create a new race that is more affordable than the Vendée Globe.
The sum of ?1 million charters you the boat, sails and all the gear, the skipper's salary, insurance, the comms budget and guarantee media exposure.
Who's in so far? No-one we know – yet. I love the idea of a one-design race even if, for obvious reasons, skippers, designers and the marine industry don't. But sailors as jockeys, openly salaried and captive to a race organiser? On this side of the Channel, they'll be needing a new crop of solo sailors for that concept.


Papercheck gives enhancing and proofreading providers. Unbanked workers could save time since their paycard is loaded immediately by their employer, so they do not have to attend in lengthy traces on the bank or test casher with the intention papercheck to have their cash made out there to them. Organizations also don't have to speculate time and human resources into manually distributing paper checks on payday.
Among the many benefits of checks to pay for your gold or silver purchases is the dearth of related fees. In distinction with bank card firms, which cost businesses with service provider papercheck charges as high as four%, banks don't charge any such fees for checks or money orders. Consequently, these savings allow us to supply our clients a four% low cost on any purchases made with checks.
To a financial institution, the value of a verify is the account behind it; to a card issuer or a brand new funds startup, the worth is whatever charges can be extracted from the consumer. For that motive, charge-based papercheck replacements may face a steeper uphill climb to displace the final remaining checks — or the model might merely prove incompatible, and it'll eventually be not Silicon Valley however the banks themselves who wind up providing their own price-free replacements.
Abstract: An image of a examine that is within the area of view of a digicam is monitored prior to the image of the check being captured. The camera is associated with a mobile system. When the picture of the verify in the area of view passes monitoring criteria, an image could also be taken by the camera and supplied from the cell system to a monetary institution. The picture seize could also be performed papercheck routinely as quickly as the image of the test is set to move the monitoring criteria. The examine may be deposited in a consumer's bank account primarily based on the image. Any method for sending the picture to the monetary establishment could also be used. Related Post: go to website Suggestions could also be provided to the person of the digicam concerning the image of the check in the subject of view.
The variety of checks is dropping, however slowly. U.S. customers and businesses wrote 28 billion checks in 2009, a determine that's been dropping about 1.8 billion a yr. At that tempo papercheck, in line with the Philadelphia Fed examine, paper checks will take until 2026 to go away fully.
Online payments can prevent some huge cash. New cost options like eCheck , that are constructed upon bank transfers (ACH), value as little as $zero.25 per transaction for small amounts, and a most of $2.50 for as much papercheck as $25,000 – that is simply 0.01%! Your actual costs for manually dealing with checks might be larger ( industry and analysis estimates put the actual price of processing a paper test between $20 and $31).
You don't have to. With the precise cost platform you may settle for ACH, eCheck , and bank cards in a single system and have a consolidated view of payments and settlements in a single papercheck place. When digital alternatives arrived for businesses some assumed a similar transformation would happen, ushering within the new age of B2B payments. Nevertheless, This was simply not the case.
Anybody bear in mind the days of going to Blockbuster to rent a video? Slightly recognized (on the time) on-line company called Netflix understood and delivered what customers wished, and ultimately drove Blockbuster out of enterprise. The identical developments are now transferring into the residence papercheck rental industry. The flexibility to pay rent online (without a paper check or journey to the rental drop field) is now seen as an necessary amenity to an house listing… simply verify local house listings or Craigslist in your area.
Although JM Bullion prides itself on defending the privacy of our clients and their funding activities, we're required by legislation to report any cash payments" that exceed $10,000. Included under the category of money payments" are cashier's checks and cash orders for LESS than $10,000. This policy additionally applies to any associated papercheck transactions which are made within 24 hours of one another and whose mixed complete is more than $10,000. So an order for $eleven,000 price of silver, paid for with two money orders of $5,000 and $6,000 each, would set off a reporting requirement. See our Reportable Bullion Transactions Infographic for full details and examples.

Franz Liszt (Hungarian: Ferencz Liszt, in modern use Ferenc Liszt, from 1859 to 1867 officially Franz Ritter von Liszt) (October 22, 1811 – July 31, 1886) was a Hungarian composer, virtuoso pianist and teacher.
Liszt became renowned throughout Europe during the 19th century for his great skill as a performer. He was said by his contemporaries to have been the most technically advanced pianist of his age and perhaps the greatest pianist of all time. He was also an important and influential composer, a notable piano teacher, a conductor who contributed significantly to the modern development of the art, and a benefactor to other composers and performers, notably Richard Wagner, Hector Berlioz, Camille Saint-Saëns, Edvard Grieg and Alexander Borodin.
As a composer, Liszt was one of the most prominent representatives of the "Neudeutsche Schule" ("New German School"). He left behind an extensive and diverse body of work, in which he influenced his forward-looking contemporaries and anticipated some 20th-century ideas and trends. Some of his most notable contributions were the invention of the symphonic poem, developing the concept of thematic transformation as part of his experiments in musical form and making radical departures in harmony.

Mera Reportedly Replaces Aquaman In Knightmare Scene For Justice League Snyder Cut
Scott Campbell Dec 8, 2020 8:23 am 2020-12-08T09:33:34-05:00
The Snyder Cut of Justice League only exists because the fans spent two and a half years relentlessly campaigning for it, so you can guarantee that Zack Snyder will be going out of his way to double down on making them happy when his brand new version of the movie arrives exclusively on HBO Max next year.
A redesigned Steppenwolf, black suit Superman and the absence of even a single frame shot by Joss Whedon are all steps in the right direction as the filmmaker looks to deliver the epic blockbuster that he had hoped to make the first time around, as well as the one that the fanbase wanted to see all along.
However, one potentially sticky situation could be the involvement of Amber Heard, with the actress becoming the least popular figure in Hollywood as Johnny Depp's supporters appear to have made it their mission to railroad her out of the industry completely. Still, while people were calling for boycotts of Aquaman 2, there wasn't any noticeable pushback when it was revealed that she would be suiting up as Mera for the recent Justice League reshoots.
Justice League Snyder Cut Gallery
Then again, the additional footage is only going to add four or five minutes onto the running time of the film, so we shouldn't be expecting anything substantial, but insider Daniel Richtman now claims that the character's involvement will come as part of the extended Knightmare sequence, where she'll have taken possession of Aquaman's trident and also occupy his spot on the team.
"In the Snyder Cut Mera has the trident in the Knightmare future and is taking Aquaman's spot on the JL," he says.
Cue plenty of jokes that have 'Amber Heard' and 'Knightmare' in the same sentence, but based on how the 34 year-old is currently being perceived by certain sections of the media, any alternate reality where she's a key member of the Justice League is a harrowing proposition to a lot of folks.
