Bad Boys for Life (ugs.: Bad Boys III) ist ein US-amerikanischer Actionfilm, der von Adil El Arbi und Bilall Fallah inszeniert wurde und eine Fortsetzung von Michael Bays Bad Boys – Harte Jungs (1995) und Bad Boys II (2003) darstellt. In den Hauptrollen sind erneut Will Smith und Martin Lawrence zu sehen. Der Film kam am 16. Januar 2020 in die deutschen und am darauffolgenden Tag in die amerikanischen Kinos.

Handlung
Aus einem Hochsicherheitsgefängnis in Mexiko bricht Isabel, die lebenslänglich verurteilte Witwe des Bosses des Aretas-Kartells mit dem Spitznamen "La bruja" (die Hexe), mit Hilfe ihres Sohnes Armando aus. Beide schwören Rache und eröffnen zusammen Jagd auf die Schlüsselfiguren, die für die Zerschlagung des Kartells mit verantwortlich waren. Unter ihnen ist auch Detective Mike Lowrey, der damals als Undercover-Agent erheblich zur Festnahme von Isabel beitrug. Armando findet das Geheimversteck seines Vaters mit mehreren Millionen US-Dollar und heuert für diese Mission den Gangster Zway-Lo und seine Gang an. Bei der Party zur Geburt des ersten Enkelsohns von Marcus Burnett, der nun den Dienst quittieren will, um sich ganz seiner Familie zu widmen, verletzt Armando Mike schwer mit mehreren Schüssen, trotz des Befehls seiner Mutter, ihn als letzten zu töten.

Mike fällt nach langer Operation ins Koma, überlebt jedoch und hat sich nach sechs Monaten praktisch komplett erholt. Währenddessen bringt Armando nacheinander weitere Zielpersonen um. Als Isabel von Mikes Genesung erfährt, setzt sie Armando wieder auf ihn an. Dieser tötet Captain Conrad Howard, hat aber keine freie Schusslinie auf Mike. Nach dieser Tragödie kehrt Marcus in den Dienst zurück, um seinen Partner ein letztes Mal bei der Suche nach dem Mörder zu unterstützen. Die nach dem neuesten Stand der Technik ausgerüstete Advanced Miami Metro Operations (AMMO)-Einheit, bestehend aus den drei jungen Hightech-Spezialisten Dorn, Kelly und Rafe, und geleitet von Mikes früherer Kollegin Rita, hilft ihnen dabei, den Buchhalter des organisierten Verbrechens zu finden. Durch ihn stellen sie eine Verbindung zu Zway-Lo her. Dieser wird bei seiner Geburtstags-Party zunächst festgenommen, kann aber mit Hilfe seiner Gang entkommen. Nach einer wilden Verfolgungsjagd von Downtown Miami bis zum Hafen können die beiden ihn wieder stellen. Plötzlich taucht ein Hubschrauber mit Armando an Bord auf und er erschießt Zway-Lo, um an Mike heranzukommen. Dieser kann sich jedoch mit einem Sprung ins Wasser retten.

Daraufhin wird die AMMO-Einheit aufgelöst. Mike findet aber noch heraus, dass Isabel, mit der er eine kurze Affäre hatte, bevor sie verhaftet wurde, hinter den Anschlägen auf ihn steckt. Dabei kommt heraus, dass Armando sein Sohn ist. Mike will ein für alle Male mit den beiden abrechnen und fliegt mit Marcus nach Mexiko. Dort verabredet er sich mit Isabel, die ihm und Marcus eine Falle stellt. Doch das aufgelöste AMMO-Team kommt inkognito mit und liefert ihnen bei dem Schusswechsel eine tatkräftige Unterstützung. Isabel stirbt bei dem Versuch, Mike zu töten und Armando überlebt schwer verletzt. Als er auf seine Verurteilung zurück in Florida wartet, bietet Mike ihm an, die hypothetische Höchststrafe mit einem Job für die Polizei zu verbüßen.

Could be a sizzler of an election, after all
By Frank A. DeFilippo
IN Maryland, as in most states, there are local and state ballo issues that could affect the size of the voter turnout this November -- not to mention the outcome of the presidential election if the contest is close.
The abortion issue is crucial. Not only will it affect future state law, but it could determine the award of the state's presidential ,, votes as well.
In addition, there are two close races for Congress, a sharply drawn contest for the U.S. Senate and several critical local ballot questions. Add to the list an anticipated high black voter turnout and the name H. Ross Perot (and his non-running mate, James Stockdale). It could be a fascinating election after all.
Recent polls give Democratic presidential nominee Bill Clinton a 10-point lead over President Bush. But when Mr. Clinton's name was associated in the Mason-Dixon poll with the pro-choice position on abortion and a favorable position on gun control, his lead over the president widened significantly.
In Montgomery County, for example, Republican women are openly rebelling against their party and breaking with their president on the abortion issue. The Republican platform is stridently pro-life, and Mr. Bush is in lock-step with the pro-life forces. It remains to be seen if the Democrats can take advantage of this in a traditionally liberal state.
The name of Ross Perot on the ballot (here and in 46 other states) still might serve as a magnet for angry voters in both parties even though he's no longer an active candidate. Don't forget that Mr. Perot's volunteers gathered 160,000 signatures to petition his name to the ballot, and that ain't hay.
The U.S. Senate race pits conservative (and black) Republican Alan Keyes against the populist-feminist incumbent, Barbara Mikulski. Ms. Mikulski is one of the most popular political figures in Maryland and one of the few who has it both ways: She's equally popular with the blue-collar bunkies in Baltimore and the wine-and-cheese crowd in Montgomery County.
Mr. Keyes, of Montgomery County, ran against Sen. Paul Sarbanes in 1988 and collected 40 percent of the vote. This time around, however, he's alienated many in his own party by paying himself $2,000 a week from his campaign treasury and by denouncing the Republican Party as racist.
The two hotly contested House races are in the 1st and 4th districts, while a heavy black turnout is expected in the newly reshaped 4th, Maryland's second predominantly black district.
In the 1st, two incumbents are scrapping for a single seat -- Republican Wayne Gilchrest and Democrat Tom McMillen. Mr. Gilchrest is a native Eastern Shoreman, but Mr. McMillen was thrust into the predominantly Eastern Shore by the whims (and politics) of redistricting. He's trying hard to present a conservative face to the voters east of the Bay Bridge.
In the 5th, Rep. Steny H. Hoyer, fourth-ranking Democrat in the House, is being challenged by Republican Larry Hogan Jr., whose father once served in Congress and as Prince George's county executive.
And in the redrawn 4th, two blacks confront each other. State Sen. Albert Wynn, D-Prince George's, faces Michele Dyson, a Republican from the Montgomery County side of the district.
Also on the ballot in Montgomery is a referendum on the latest "Ficker amendment," ramrodded by the Montgomery political gadfly Robin Ficker. The amendment, expected to attract as well as repel voters, would force the County Council to reduce property taxes in direct proportion to the amount it raises income taxes.
In Baltimore city, a ballot question concerning dismissal procedures for civil service employees is expected to draw municipal workers as well as other union members to the polls. In addition, there'll be the usual assortment of loans and bond issues that appeal to special interests.
Election board officials in both Baltimore city and Prince George's County say voter registration has been running much higher than normal. If new voter registrations are a harbinger of the voter turnout, Maryland should have a larger than usual vote for president. The abortion issue as well as heightened black interest and a large Jewish vote all should benefit Democrat Clinton.
But all other issues aside, every indication is that the economy is the single most persuasive ingredient in this presidential election. And Maryland has been hit much harder by recession than by previous slumps in the economy.
Frank A. DeFilippo writes every other Thursday on Maryland politics.

Allan Lamb
Allan Joseph Lamb (born 20 June 1954) is a former England cricketer and captain who played for the first class teams of Western Province and Northamptonshire. He joined Northamptonshire so he could enhance his career and eventually play Test cricket for England, as his native country South Africa were to be banned from International cricket due to the apartheid régime. He retired in 1995 at the age of 41 and currently works for Sky Sports and other foreign TV cricketing broadcasts as an analyst.
Allan Lamb was born to British parents in Langebaanweg, Union of South Africa. His father Mickey was a journeyman club bowler and his mother Joan was an ardent spectator who never willingly missed a match. He attended Wynberg Boys' High School and Abbots College where he played cricket to an 'outstanding' level.
Domestic cricket in South Africa
In January 1973, Allan made his first team debut at the age of 18 when he played for the Western Province in the Currie Cup. He batted at number three and made 59 and 36 against the Eastern Province. He then had a two-year absence from the game and joined the National Service in the South African Air Force building airfields before returning to the club. Western Province then experimented with Allan as an opener, at 5 and 6 but 4 was always his true and regular position in the batting order for Western Province. Lamb then had one year playing for Orange Free State, where he scored his highest first class score of 294, before moving back to the Western Province for the rest of his South African domestic career.

Accounting-Driven Class Actions Rising, Study Finds
Twenty of the accounting-related class actions included allegations of improper revenue recognition, PwC finds
Katie Kuehner-HebertApril 10, 2015
Now that securities litigation related to the 2008 financial crisis has largely petered out, accounting-driven class-action suits based on regulatory enforcement actions are on the rise, according to PwC's 2014 Securities Litigation Study released Friday.
There were 53 accounting-driven cases filed last year, representing 31% of all federal securities class-action cases filed during the year, according to the report. In 2013, 46 cases were filed, representing 29% of all cases that year. PwC tracks U.S. federal securities class-actions filed since the passage of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act in 1995.
"There have been numerous cases, regulations, and technological advances which may indicate that accounting enforcement actions from regulators — and federal securities class action litigation from shareholders — could continue to grow in the years ahead," the authors wrote. "This trend may be driven by increased public attention on financial fraud, in addition to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's and other regulators' focus on detecting and prosecuting various forms of improper financial reporting."
Twenty of the accounting-related cases included allegations of improper revenue recognition. Of those, at least four cases involved revenue-related fraud in the form of fictitious contracts and/or sales invoices in order to inflate company revenue and earnings, according to the report.
The reports authors advise companies to be alert to the proliferation of the enforcement of anti-corruption statutes such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; cyber breaches with lasting effects; lawsuits stemming from such capital-market complexities as high frequency trading and "dark pools"; the increase of initial public offerings involving emerging growth companies; and the robust mergers and acquisitions market.
PwC tracks all cases filed and more than 50 data points related to each case, including court, circuit, company location, SIC code, class period, stock exchange, and lead plaintiff type. The firm also analyzes a variety of issues, including whether the case is accounting related, a breakdown of accounting issues, and settlement data.

I chose to use The Little Mermaid as the story for the Remix a Story assignment. The Little Mermaid was my favorite Disney movie as a child and I like the idea of taking it and making it something new.
Decided to use a Facebook page to follow the events of the story I think it makes the story more relevant to use social media to portray what's happening. I also think it could be a challenge to try and take exact lines of dialogue and make them statuses or comments, but it's a challenge that I think would be fun.
Considered also making Twitter pages for characters It gives a whole new dimension to show both Facebook and Twitter feeds for the story. You don't Tweet what you put on Facebook and vice versa, so I think it would be interesting to explore how the characters would use each social media site.

13 MarA new 'Game of Thrones' video clip shown behind closed doors suggests Jon Snow is still alive
Warning: There are spoilers ahead if you're not caught up with "Game of Thrones."
An exclusive new "Game of Thrones" teaser was shown behind closed doors at HBO's exhibit at the SXSW trade show in Austin, Texas, and it suggests that Jon Snow will be revived from death in Season 6.
In the video clip, which press was prohibited from recording, the red priestess Melisandre says "I saw him in the flames, fighting at Winterfell" immediately after an image of Jon Snow's body flashes across the screen.
At the end of Season 5, Jon Snow was left for dead after a mutinous attack by his Night's Watch brothers. Since then, fans have been in an inescapable debate of whether or not Jon Snow has been permanently killed off the HBO series.
While Melisandre's use of pronouns instead of Jon Snow's name does leave the possibility that HBO is merely continuing to troll fans about Snow's fate — she could technically be talking about some other character fighting at Winterfell — the image of Jon Snow's fallen body leading into her proclamation implies she is referring to Snow.
We can't show you the video clip until HBO chooses to release it publicly, but we did take a photo of the HBO exhibit where they showed off the new video clip, which was played using a levitating 3D holoplayer of sorts that made the video appear to float above the flames.

Q: WCF MSDTC Transaction elevated but not executed I am not an expert on WCF and MSDTC so hopefully this is something simple. I have a client server, a web services server and a database. I want to be able to wrap calls to the web services server within a TransactionScope so that if something fails within the operation, I can back out. This setup works fine when all 3 components live on my local machine. When I move them to the separate servers, everything works until a call is within a TransactionScope.
I can see a transaction get added on both the client and web services server under dcomcnfg -> component services -> Computers -> My Computer -> Distributed Transaction Coordinator -> Local DTC. I see the same transaction show up on both machines. Problem is, it just waits for the timeout and fails. If I look at my transaction logs for the web service calls that should have taken have taken place within the TransactionScope, they are not there.
What am I missing?

A: I don't advise using TransactionScope across WCF service boundaries but if you must read this:
http://www.stevefenton.co.uk/Content/Blog/Date/200911/Blog/TransactionScope-and-WCF-Services/

A: I recently saw similar symptoms when configuring NServiceBus and NHibernate with MSDTC.
The resolution for my issue involved checking the authentication being used.
In the Distributed Transaction Coordinator's local DTC, go the the properties and check the Security tab. It may be that you need to enable the Network DTC access, or alter the authentication used. Try with no authentication to see if that works, and lock down as appropriate.

A: In this case, it ended up being a firewall issue. I put off the idea of it being a firewall issue since I was seeing the transaction appear in the service server transaction list but adding the Distributed Transaction Coordinator to the allowed list for domain communication in the firewall fixed the issue.

In a dish that is big enough to fit your bread, mix together one egg, a dash of milk and some cinnamon. Roll your little bread sausage in the mixture and then fry in a frying pan with a little bit of butter until golden on all sides.
I served mine with apples and a drizzle of honey but you can go wild here, and even have this as a dessert with ice cream, or roll in cinnamon sugar and serve with strawberries and a nice big coffee.
Then cry with joy and the amazing breakfast you have just made.

Death of a prince: and now …?
14th May 2021 /
The passing of Prince Philip marks not only the end of an era, but, as Alex Osborn notes, raises important questions about the future of the British Royal Family.
In July 1939, a 13-year-old girl and an 18-year-old man meet at Britannia Royal Naval College in Dartmouth. As it happens, the two are third cousins.
The man is strikingly handsome, with Viking good looks – tall, blond, athletic, and with seemingly boundless energy. Sporting his naval cadet uniform and cap, he cuts a dashing and glamorous figure. The girl is certainly pretty, yet rather more reserved – in spite of her age, she is child-like in appearance, dressed in low white socks and with a matching coat and hat identical to that worn by her eight-year-old sister.
Following an outbreak of measles at the College, the young man has been tasked with chaperoning the sisters while the girls' parents dutifully plough through the official introductions and inspections associated with their visit. He has an appetite for high-spirited horseplay, and suggests they liven things up by jumping the College's tennis nets. She is smitten by his display of physical prowess – "look how high he can jump, Crawfie!" she remarks rapturously to her governess.
Thus is recounted the first significant encounter of Princess Elizabeth, heiress to the British throne, and the exiled Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, who died last month only nine weeks shy of his 100th birthday. This meeting sparked a romance which resulted in a royal union lasting 73 years.

Many close to the Queen concede that she could not have achieved all that she has in her near 70-year reign without having had the Duke of Edinburgh at her side. In what ways can we, and should we, assess the legacy of the longest-serving consort in British history?
The role of a male consort to a female sovereign is a particularly challenging one. This is partly because much of the role remains undefined, as is the case with most 'supporting' positions within the British Royal Family, and partly because the male consort has to contend with the predicament of remaining subordinate to his wife in a society where convention has traditionally dictated that the dominant position in a marriage belongs to the husband.
It was certainly no easy feat for Philip who, at the Queen's accession and at the relatively young age of 30, faced a life of endless plaque unveiling and ribbon cutting after having relinquished a highly promising naval career.
In his new role, the foremost example to which the young Prince Philip could have looked for inspiration was Prince Albert, husband and consort to Queen Victoria. Albert was a tremendous source of support to Victoria both personally and 'professionally'. Having an enormous capacity for intellectual stimulation across an astonishing variety of disciplines, Albert's interest in the general advancement of science, technology and culture, and the importance of accessible education, led to his patronage of the Great Exhibition, the re-administration of the Royal Collection and the founding of Imperial College London, amongst many other achievements.
Albert's legacy is enshrined today in vast cultural monuments such as the Royal Albert Hall and the Victoria and Albert Museum, and he is credited with establishing the modern model of constitutional monarchy in Britain, via his insistence that his wife remain above party politics despite her obvious personal preferences.
Yet Albert ultimately worked himself into an early grave, dying of typhoid fever at the age of just 42, having spent the best part of two decades as the Queen's de facto private secretary. Such was his enthusiastic involvement (or interference!) in the Queen's official duties that the Clerk to the Privy Council once remarked, somewhat cattily, that Albert 'is King to all intents and purposes.'
Victoria's inability, or some would argue, refusal, to recover from her husband's untimely death has come to symbolise the importance of the consort's role in equipping the sovereign with the resources necessary to cope with the demands of a fundamentally isolating position.
Whether consciously or not, Philip appeared to select the best elements of Albert's example while recognising the natural limitations and boundaries imposed by his role.
He was to walk two steps behind his wife, not beside her in the manner of a joint sovereign as Albert had done.
In the antiquated words of the oath he took at the Queen's coronation in 1953, Philip was to become his wife's 'liege man of life and limb' – the 'top job', as Princess Diana once called it, was and always would be hers. Unlike Albert, Philip never held audiences with government ministers in place of his wife, never specifically advised the Queen on political matters nor did he ever access state or Cabinet papers. Perhaps tellingly, he was never awarded the official title of 'Prince Consort' as Albert had been.

Yet Philip recognised that he could effectively support and complement the Queen's work by channelling his natural leadership skills into the kind of worthwhile causes to which his predecessor had devoted so much of his energy a century earlier. Both Philip and Albert took to the presidency of the British Association for the Advancement of Science with gusto, and in his inaugural speech, Philip reviewed scientific progress since the time of the former consort in whose steps he walked.
In his long life Philip lent his patronage to some 800 organisations, most of which had a similar focus on education, innovation, industry and conservation. His now world-famous Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme had a distinctly Albertian flavour, being founded to encourage the self-development and moral improvement of young people as modelled on the ideas of Philip's old headmaster at Gordonstoun, Kurt Hahn, and his solutions to what he had termed the 'Six Declines of Modern Youth'.
What impact will Philip's death have on the future direction of the British monarchy?
It is a question which royalists and republicans alike are asking, given that most people alive today cannot remember a time when the indefatigable double-act of the Queen and Prince Philip was not at the centre of public life.
Perhaps we should see the monarchy's future as a continuation of Philip's vision of an institution which ultimately develops what Albert had envisaged and what Philip himself embodied throughout his six decades of public service – a monarchy which is fit for the modern age, and reflects contemporary values in the attitudes and activities of its members.
One of Albert's achievements was to erase the monarchy's reputation for excess and immorality, and create an aspirational ideal for ordinary people by ensuring the Royal Family mirrored the family lives of its subjects and by promoting values associated with wholesome Victorian middle-class domesticity.
Like Albert, Philip had a sincere passion for eradicating outdated and wasteful aristocratic practices at court, and contributed significantly to the modernising of operations and improvement of efficiency at Buckingham Palace. He was also a strong advocate for enabling the public to access the more human side of the monarchy – such as his insistence as Chair of the Queen's Coronation Committee that the coronation ceremony be televised, and his oversight of the TV documentary 'Royal Family' in 1969, a behind-the-scenes film which depicted the Queen, her husband and her children interacting with each other in comparatively 'normal' family settings.
A perennial problem facing any modern monarchy is how to exist successfully within the tension that the Royal Family is at once a family and not a family, at once 'normal', and not 'normal'.
It is a conflict which no individual even as enlightened as either Albert or Philip could possibly hope to resolve satisfactorily in the course of a lifetime.
How does one ensure the monarchy is of the people in the broadest sense, yet remains sufficiently apart from the people to ensure its survival? As Prince Philip's generation passes on, younger generations of royals offer contrasting interpretations of the nature of public service and the costs involved in subordinating one's own personal ambitions, and expectations, to the operations and values of an institution.
At the Duke of Edinburgh's pared-down funeral service at St George's Chapel in Windsor, and faced with the poignant image of the widowed Queen seated alone, we were reminded most forcibly that like Albert before him, his many achievements as consort aside, perhaps Prince Philip's most important act of service was that of husband to the most famous woman in the world.
As the Queen's 'strength and stay', as she put it on the occasion of their Golden Wedding anniversary, Philip was the one person who, from that first meeting at Dartmouth to the end of his life, could – and indeed did – treat the Queen like any other human being. It is little wonder then that the Queen has privately remarked that the Duke's passing has left a 'huge void' in her life.
This was, after all, the man who upon their return to Buckingham Palace after the Coronation ceremony had turned to the newly-crowned Queen and remarked: "Darling, where did you get that hat?"

SCM / SCM Statements / 2020 / PRESS RELEASE: The Syrian Center for Media and Freedom of Expression with Justice Initiative and Syria Archive Files First Criminal Complaint on behalf of Sarin Attack Victims
Paris for immediate release
—Today, a group of non-governmental organizations including the Justice Initiative, the Syrian Center for Media and Freedom of Expression (SCM), and Syrian Archive filed a criminal complaint on behalf of chemical weapons attack victims to the Office of the German Federal Public Prosecutor. The complaint includes the most detailed investigations into the sarin attacks on Eastern Ghouta and Khan Shaykhun that took place in 2013 and 2017. The dossier includes new evidence and investigative leads, and shows that the Syrian government carried out the attacks.
Together, the two attacks killed more than 1,400 people, including many children, and are among the Syrian conflict's deadliest chemical weapons attacks. Both attacks coincided with strikes on nearby medical facilities, which severely impeded the emergency medical response. By gathering evidence and identifying witnesses able to provide testimony to prosecutors, the complainants aim to advance the eventual arrest and prosecution of Syrian officials responsible for the attacks.
"Our years-long investigation on behalf of victims compiles extensive evidence indicating that senior Syrian government officials are responsible for the Eastern Ghouta and Khan Shaykhun sarin attacks as part of a widespread and deliberate pattern of targeting opposition-held areas with chemical weapons since 2012," said Hadi al Khatib, founder and director of Syrian Archive. "Now is the time for competent European prosecutors to jointly investigate Syria's chemical weapons program and issue arrest warrants for the Syrian officials responsible."
Throughout the decade-long conflict, the Syrian government has used chemical weapons as part of a broader pattern of deliberate and widespread attacks against civilians in opposition-held areas. While most chemical weapons used during the conflict have been improvised chlorine munitions, the deployment of sarin munitions emerged from an extensive government-sponsored research, development, production and storage program. The Scientific Studies and Research Center (SSRC), a Syrian government agency, has played a central role in this program.
" It is not reasonable that the international community is dealing with the grave crime of chemical weapons use with the disregard that we are witnessing today. The lack of concrete action to hold the Syrian government accountable puts at stake not only Syrians' rights, but the rights of all of humanity," said Mazen Darwish, director general and founder of SCM. "Syria is a test of the world's resolve to hold war criminals accountable, and failure is not an option. That's why international efforts must unite to prevent impunity for these crimes and to ensure that they do not recur."
Some states, including Germany, Sweden and Norway, have extraterritorial jurisdiction over war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. As a result, prosecutors in these countries can conduct investigations into these serious crimes even when suspects are not present in their territory and neither the victims nor perpetrators are citizens of the investigating country.
"International cooperation will be the key to successful efforts to hold the perpetrators accountable," said Steve Kostas, a senior legal officer at the Justice Initiative. "States with evidence on Syria's chemical weapons program and chemical attacks should provide that information to states with the jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute the Syrian commanders and officials responsible."
In July, the executive council of the world's chemical weapons watchdog, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), condemned the use of banned sarin and chlorine munitions by the Syrian government. The next meeting of the OPCW's full membership, the Conference of States Parties, will begin late November, and could lead to a collective response from member states to Syria's violation of the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention.

Eight out, five in? How tricky is Guardiola's Man City overhaul?
The Blues will say goodbye to a number of players this summer and are hoping to bring in a host of centre-backs and central midfielders as they try to revitalise their squad
Pep Guardiola will soon arrive in England, where he will be charged with bringing up to scratch the one aspect of the modern Manchester City football club that is performing below expectations: the men's first team.
As City thrive in the financial league tables, strive for dominance on the youth football scene and set the standard in the women's game, the focal point of the operation, to which so much money has been invested, is currently lagging behind.
Manuel Pellegrini's time at the helm has come to an end and, whether his reign is judged a success or otherwise, there is a common consensus that the squad Guardiola inherits is in need of major surgery.
It was written on these pages after City's final league defeat of the season, their tenth in total, that the squad needs ripping up and starting again. It was a fringe XI fielded at Southampton that day but the performance ranks alongside those sorry showings against Stoke City, Liverpool (twice), Tottenham (twice), Leicester City and Manchester United.
There is not only a need for significant change, but an appetite for it within the club. So how can it be achieved this summer?
Of the 13 players to feature at St Mary's, five are almost certain to be shown the door. Martin Demichelis' contract is up; Pablo Zabaleta, injury permitting, looks to be on his way to Italy; Aleksandar Kolarov will be shipped out; Eliaquim Mangala is considered disposable by the club's hierarchy and Wilfried Bony's disappointing time spell will surely be brought to an end, six months before City pay Swansea the final installment of his transfer fee.
Fernando, who has played an important role in the City team this season and finished the campaign strongly, could also be moved on. His game is similar to compatriot Luiz Gustavo, who left Bayern Munich within weeks of Guardiola's arrival and was replaced by Thiago Alcantara. "I felt that something had to change," the Brazilian said in August 2014. "That feeling got even stronger after a first meeting with Guardiola."
Add in Willy Caballero, whose stock rose significantly after his starring role in the League Cup final but is still expected to depart, and Yaya Toure, whose future is expected to be revealed before the end of the month, and we are up to eight players.
It is true that few of those men, bar perhaps Toure, would be named in City's first-choice XI, but the key to the overhaul is not the number, but the calibre of the replacements.
City maintain they are targeting just four or five players this summer as they look to enable Guardiola to play the football he wants to play. Those players are concentrated in just two vital positions: the centre of defence and the centre of midfield.
Aymeric Laporte, nursing a broken ankle, and John Stones are the men identified to shake up the defence. The two 21-year-olds are capable of playing out of the back – as analysed here – and it is hoped they are malleable enough to benefit from Guardiola's tutelage, just as Jerome Boateng and Javi Martinez did in his first summer in Bavaria.

Jason Denayer is expected to be recalled from a loan spell at Galatasaray, too, and can provide an option at centre-back and right-back.
The other names firmly on City's radar are central midfielders. A deal for Ilkay Gundogan was moving closer and closer until the Borussia Dortmund midfielder dislocated his kneecap; Toni Kroos, who left Bayern against Guardiola's wishes to join Real Madrid in 2014, has also been highlighted; and there is hope Paul Pogba can be prised from Juventus a year after he proved too costly.
Gundogan's injury, like Laporte's, is a spanner in the works. City are thought to be keen to sign him regardless, but his role in pre-season training will be as important as his role in the first team – he can demonstrate Guardiola's specific needs to his new team-mates just as Thiago did in his first months in Germany – meaning alternatives, including Thiago himself, are being monitored.
There are a host of other names in the frame, as is to be expected. A potential raid on Arsenal has been mooted, with Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Alexis Sanchez linked, while Leroy Sane has been monitored closely over recent months and Manchester United are thought to be concerned about the Blues' interest.

The fact City are ready to ship out fringe players and directly replace them with world-class talent highlights the intentions of Guardiola and sporting director Txiki Begiristain.
And there is no need to replace the outgoings man for man. If eight players, or potentially even more, are shown the door, City don't need to bring in eight reinforcements. Guardiola has traditionally been happy to work with smaller, more versatile squads, and call upon young talents when needed.
Given the number of first teamers and potential arrivals involved in international tournaments this summer, City's young prospects will get extra opportunity to show the new manager what they can do. Bersant Celina recently signed a new deal and could be joined by the likes of Manu Garcia, Aleix Garcia and Tosin Adarabioyo on City's pre-season tour of Asia.
With four or five world-class arrivals and an injection of youth, the City squad is going to look very different come the start of next season. This year's first choices could be next year's back-ups.
And that's without considering the futures of City's more established players. Toure looks set to be the first of the old guard to depart but there are question marks over David Silva and Vincent Kompany, too. The two stalwarts have been beset by injuries this season and there have been reports that Guardiola could be ready to move them on.

To the surprise of many supporters, Joe Hart's place could be under threat as well. Barcelona's Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and has been watched, although Real Sociedad's Geronimo Rulli presents a cheaper option. The Argentine's arrival would put less pressure on Hart than if Ter Stegen were to up sticks, but it is an interesting scenario.
Those issues, though, are surely to be addressed later in the summer, or even 12 months down the line. The size of Guardiola's task is huge, and he will first concentrate on the fringe players whose time at City has come to an end.
Either way, the City squad will look very different come the start of the 2016-17 season.


In the ongoing argument over what "luxury" services would be taxed under Emanuel's sales tax proposal, Chico held a news conference Monday to complain the tax would put neighborhood gyms out of business.
Chico's campaign scrambled to line up the second gym, in West Town. Then the Emanuel campaign called that gym. But owner Sharone Aharon told the caller he planned to let Chico do his news conference there anyway.
For crying out loud, leave the gym owners alone. I mean, seriously, is this the way y'all intend to govern over there? Really? Sheesh.
Chico says that Emanuel's new sales tax would include neighborhood gyms such as Well Fit in West Town.
LaBolt said it would not — it would only cover "luxury" gyms such as the Saddle and Cycle Club or the East Bank Club, where Emanuel works out.
How the heck are you going to define a "luxury" gym in a state statute? Will only gyms that have an on-site car-washing service be taxed? And if it is just a few upscale gyms, how are they going to generate any real revenues to replace the $40 million lost by cutting the city sales tax by a measly quarter point?
Gery Chico has obviously hit a raw nerve here. The media really needs to start demanding to see this alleged list of luxury services which will be taxed under a Mayor Emanuel - if, that is, he can convince the General Assembly to enact it.
* Rocky Wirtz's lawyers went on and on in a brief filed with the Supreme Court today about how they thought they had a deal with the attorney general's office. They originally figured both sides would ask for a stay of the appellate court ruling which declared the capital program unconstitutional. But, no, the AG's office allegedly reneged on language. So, they couldn't come to an agreement.
alternative financing for the state projects seems to serve the public interest, and to accommodate the preservation of the status quo pending review. Therefore, Plaintiffs do not object to a stay of the appellate court's January 26, 2011 opinion and judgment.
OK, so that's settled. Expect the Supremes to grant a stay. Hopefully, they can do it in less than the nine pages Wirtz's lawyers took. Either way, immediate disaster will likely be avoided.
* Meanwhile, you're recall that the other day I told you about Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka's list of $1 billion in budget cuts that she had earlier said could be eliminated without anyone noticing the impact.
• You suggest the state save $100 million by rolling back a "giveaway" in the form of universal preschool, requiring those families "financially-able" pay for preschool. The Early Childhood Block Grant is the primary funding source for the State's effort to enroll children age 3 to 5 in quality preschool. Participation is limited to children most at-risk of academic failure and from low- to moderate-income homes. Financial realities never allowed this laudable program to meet the so-called "preschool for all" threshold despite the massive marketing hype of a previous governor.
• SB3778 in on the Governor's desk and provides that seniors who meet the Circuit Breaker income limitations may travel free of charge on public transit systems. I join you in encouraging him to sign it. This rolls back a former governor's effort allowing all seniors, regardless of income, to "ride free." As a former RTA director you know this was no "free ride" and cost transit agencies millions to subsidize fares. And so, I'm confused as to how the state General Revenue Fund– as opposed to the transit agencies — would save $40 million as you contend.
Cullerton goes on to write that he's prepared to offer Topinka Senate Bills as a vehicle for any "meaningful, real cuts" she would like to propose.
Northern Illinois is bracing for a winter storm that the National Weather Service says could be life-threatening.
Chicago and Milwaukee were expected to be particularly hard-hit.
A blizzard watch is in effect from Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday afternoon for most of northern Illinois. The blizzard could bring white-out conditions with snow falling at rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour. The weather service says travel could become "virtually impossible" at times.
A winter storm described by the National Weather Service as "extremely dangerous" that could bring up to a foot of snow to some areas of central Illinois is expected to begin about midday today and last into Wednesday.
A mixture of snow, sleet and freezing rain will occur today and Tuesday, then change over to all snow over the entire area by Wednesday as colder air filters into the region.
* The Question: Your blizzard plans?
And be nice to each other in comments, please. I've got to get to the store and stock up before this thing hits, so there will be little time to monitor y'all for the next couple of hours.
Gov. Pat Quinn tells a newspaper that he has authorized Springfield attorney John Simpson to oversee an investigation into potential abuse of the workers' compensation system.
On Friday night, Quinn released to the Belleville News-Democrat a letter he sent earlier in the day to Illinois Workers Compensation Chairman Mitch Weisz announcing Simpson's appointment.
The arbitrator who approved many of the workers' compensation settlements that awarded millions of taxpayer dollars to guards at the Menard Correctional Center for carpal tunnel syndrome received $48,790 for the same type of injury.
But four months after state hearing judge John T. Dibble received the settlement, the award was not listed in the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission's online database, which is the primary way the public learns about these payments.
Dibble's particular injuries were connected to an unusual form of carpal tunnel syndrome called post-traumatic carpal tunnel. A fall on the Herrin Civic Center steps as he was going in to hear cases later triggered the syndrome and led to the nearly $50,000 award.
[Workers' Compensation Commission spokesperson Sue Piha] offered the News-Democrat an exclusive story concerning imminent "major changes" that would be made in the workers' compensation system in exchange for the newspaper holding the article about Dibble until Tuesday.
The offer of an exclusive story, which was overheard by the governor's representative, was made as "leverage" to persuade editors to hold the Dibble story, said Piha. The reason for holding the article, she said, was so that it wouldn't run until the day the state was ready to announce positive changes at the commission.
The day before, Commission Chairman Mitch Weisz made the same offer; it was denied.
Commissioner Dibble heard 125 of the repetitive trauma cases filed by 230 Menard prison guards, which ended up costing the state a total of $10 million.
*** UPDATE *** I just talked with a Quinn administration official who blamed this mess on the Workers' Compensation Commission spokesperson. The Quinn people wanted to make sure they could get their guy into a story about a screwy situation at the Commission, I was told. Instead, it got translated by the Commission spokesperson as some sort of deal to delay publication of a story.
That actually makes some sense to me. So, I'll lean their way on this one. Changed the headline and one line in the piece to reflect my updated views.
Meanwhile, the idea of going from two license plates to one, another action that should be easy, is met with hemming and hawing.
When this issue has been raised previously, law enforcement officials have objected because having two plates increases the opportunity for identifying a car that's been stolen or involved in a crime or accident.
But many other states — including our neighbors in Indiana, Michigan and Kentucky — get along fine with just a rear plate.
The savings are limited — an estimated $800,000 a year. But we have to get away from this mindset that if "only" a little under $1 million is saved, the action is unworthy of attention.
Now we learn that the Illinois Department of Agriculture, without consulting city tourism officials, canceled one of the biggest potential tourism events of 2012 and 2013: the National High School Finals Rodeo.
The reason? Ag officials say the state can no longer afford the $1 million annual cost of hosting the event.
Keep in mind, this is an event that brings thousands of people — spectators, competitors and their families — to Springfield for a long stay. Long enough to generate an estimated $8 million for the local economy, most of which goes back to the state in sales tax.
We're baffled at the logic behind the decision, but we're especially annoyed that it appears to have been made without any consultation with local officials outside of state government. The ag department owes an explanation to Springfield on that communication gaffe.
Well, gee, you'd think [the Illinois Department of Agriculture] would be praised for what it did. The mantra we've heard for months, if not years, is that state government must cut spending. Spending's out of control, we've got to cut.
So ag cut. That's what people have been clamoring for, right? The department's allotment of state money (it also doles out a lot of federal funds) is down 30 percent since 2007. Something had to go. It was the rodeo.
That's the thing about cuts. Someone or something somewhere is going to be affected by them. That's not to say the state shouldn't make cuts in spending, but when it does, it's going to have an impact. This time it's in Springfield. The next time it could be Peoria or Rockford or wherever. We'll have to see how popular cuts will be when they start hitting home.
Illinois lawmakers and Gov. Pat Quinn's administration plan to make another attempt to get state retirees to pay more for their health care during this legislative session.
There are five cost tiers for current employees' health care premiums based on their income, Schoenberg said. The top tier, for those making more than $74,901, costs $59 a month for those employees in managed care and $84 a month for those employees in the state's preferred-provider plan.
Two-thirds are enrolled in the higher priced plan. The average retiree income is about $31K a year. But average household income is $78K a year. Click here for more detailed info.
As Chico talked, speakers from a rented truck blared a Web video produced by the Emanuel campaign, accusing Chico of distorting Emanuel's plan to cut the city's sales tax in exchange for broadening the tax to include some services.
The video rolled several news clips under a 1965 hit by the Lovin' Spoonful, "Did You Ever Have to Make up Your Mind?," to illustrate Emanuel's contention that Chico supported a similar idea before turning against it.
Chico called that "a bunch of bunk," explaining he'd previously suggested adding "e-tailing" or Internet purchases to the sales tax rate, not the "entire new swath of taxes" that Emanuel backs.
Watkins has said that she used drugs from ages 19 to 21 — more than 30 years ago — but said Sunday she has never used crack.
"She has a way of embellishing her own history and other people's experiences," Watkins said.
Apparently, things got pretty rough later in the day on the West Side.
Braun traveled to Washington and New Orleans last week to raise money so she can air television spots she has already shot but can't afford to air. Her campaign posted a nearly three-minute video called "On the Issues, In Every Neighborhood" on YouTube.
* Emanuel as the independent, reform candidate?

Home Movies The Pixar Theory – Disney's First Cinematic Universe Before Marvel
The Pixar Theory – Disney's First Cinematic Universe Before Marvel
The Pixar Theory is a theory that all films created by Pixar exist in a single universe, in different timelines,i.e., all films are inter-related.
Prachi Prasad
The Pixar Theory is a theory which suggests that all the movies created by Pixar are inter-related. They exist in a shared universe, spanning different timelines. With all the rage about "cinematic universes" that Marvel Studios and Warner Bros. (with DC) have put up in the last decade, we take a look at how Disney/Pixar may have perfected such a style of storytelling well before any of the others did.
The first film, Brave, is set in the the 14th or 15th century. In this, Merida discovers magic, which gives animals and inanimate objects the power to behave like humans, marking the beginning of a new era. We also get introduced to a witch, who keeps vanishing through doors.
The Incredibles (1960)
The Robot from The Incredibles
The second film is The Incredibles, set in the 1950s-1960s, where we see machines eradicating their only threat−superheroes, and turning public opinion against them.
Toy Story 1 and 2 (1997-1999)
The next two films are Toy Story 1 and 2, in which toys start to show signs of life. They also start questioning their purpose in life, as they rely on humans for everything.
They realize that they lose all life when put away in "storage".
Finding Nemo (2003)
We see the oceanic habitat, with fish and other aquatic animals being extremely advanced. Animals begin to be more curious and show more human characteristics.
Ratatouille (2007)
Next is Ratatouille, where Remy discovers his love for cooking and displays human characteristics. He helps Linguini, even though his clan disapproves of him working amongst humans.
It shows the toys being physically and emotionally abused by humans.
This provides yet another reason why machines and objects alike are ready to take over.
Up (2011-2016)
It features Carl being driven out of his home by a corporation (BNL), indicating that the age of technology has come. Carl discovers that animals can communicate with humans, and sees the bitterness that they have. This is the start of the tipping point between animals and humans.
Cars and Cars 2 (2100-2200)
In Cars, after the animals rose up against the humans, the machines saved the humans and they won the war. However since humans won because of machines, it tipped the balance on Earth and it became an unfit planet for humans and animals, so the remaining humans were put on Axiom, another planet.
In Cars 2, cars went to Europe and Japan which shows that its the same planet as all the other Pixar movies, however there are no humans throughout the world. The world at this time ends up with an energy crisis as oil is the only energy used for cars and becomes unfit to sustain life.
Wall-E (2800-2900)
Earth became uninhabitable for hundreds of years, after the energy crisis. Wall-E was the only machine left on Earth after it ran out of resources. He survived because he was fascinated with human culture and his friendship with a cockroach, which helped maintain his personality. This shows that machines develop a sense of purpose out of the humans' dependence on them. He remembered the times when humans and machines lived in peace, away from all of the pollution caused by both sides.Wall-E and Eve, save the human race and rebuild society back on Earth again.
A Bug's Life (2898-3000)
In A Bug's Life, animals start evolving into the dominant species. They have longer life spans now. The bugs practice human activities similar to what the rats in Ratatouille were just experimenting with, which leads to speculation that this film is in the future, and set after Wall-E.
Monster's University and Monster's Inc.
Hundreds of years after Wall-E, animals started evolving into monsters due to radiation (because of BNL) and accidentally wiped humans off the face of the planet. At Monsters University, they taught the monsters that humans were toxic and from another dimension. This was because they didn't want to be completely erased from existence.
Monsters and machines didn't realize that they made a mistake by getting rid of humans until it was too late. They eventually realized that humans were their only source of energy, and were essential to sustain life. Machines help solve that by letting monsters use doors to time travel to the human generations.
We can even see a connection between A Bug's Life and Monsters Inc.- the trailer. The trailer looks exactly the same, except the one in A Bug's Life is noticeably older and more run down, while the one in Monsters Inc. (where Randall is sent through a door) has humans and looks quite new.
This leads us to Boo. Little Boo never got over Sulley and became obsessed with finding out what happened to him. She remembered that doors were the key to finding Sulley. Later on, she figured out how to time travel and went back to the source of all magic. She creates magic to find Sulley by using wood. She leaves behind evidence in Brave, in the form of wood carvings of Sulley and the Pizza Planet truck (two of her favorite things), which leads us to believe that she is actually the witch from Brave.
Although she knew how to travel through time, she did not know how to determine what time period she would go to.Therefore, according to popular opinion, it is believed that Boo is the one planting the Easter eggs throughout all the Pixar movies when she accidentally time travels into different time periods.
This evidence leads us to believe that all the Pixar films are, indeed, inter-related, and just exist in different time periods.
