Richard Cromwell (born LeRoy Melvin Radabaugh; January 8, 1910 – October 11, 1960) also known as Roy Radabaugh, was an American actor. His career was at its pinnacle with his work in Jezebel (1938) with Bette Davis and Henry Fonda and again with Fonda in John Ford's Young Mr. Lincoln (1939). Cromwell's fame was perhaps first assured in The Lives of a Bengal Lancer (1935), sharing top billing with Gary Cooper and Franchot Tone.

That film was the first major effort directed by Henry Hathaway and it was based upon the popular novel by Francis Yeats-Brown. The Lives of a Bengal Lancer earned Paramount Studios a nomination for Best Picture in 1935, though Mutiny on the Bounty instead took the top award at the Academy Awards that year.

Leslie Halliwell in The Filmgoer's Companion, summed up Cromwell's enduring appeal when he described him as "a leading man, [the] gentle hero of early sound films."

Early life
Cromwell was born LeRoy Melvin Radabaugh in Long Beach, California, the second of five children, to his mother Fay B. (née Stocking) and his father, Ralph R. Radabaugh, who was an inventor. In 1918, when Radabaugh was still in grade school, his father died suddenly, one of the millions of people who perished during the "Spanish flu" pandemic.

Radabaugh enrolled as a teenager in the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles on a scholarship. He ran a shop in Hollywood where he sold pictures, made lampshades, and designed colour schemes for houses, including "decorating a bathroom for Colleen Moore and designing a house that he rented to Cole Porter."

Career

Radabaugh can be seen in King of Jazz (1930), along with the film's star, Paul Whiteman and his orchestra. On a whim, friends encouraged him to audition in 1930 for the remake of the Richard Barthelmess silent: Tol'able David (1930). Radabaugh won the role over thousands of hopefuls. In storybook fashion, Harry Cohn gave him his screen name and launched his career. Cromwell earned $75 per week for his work on Tol'able David. Noah Beery Sr. and John Carradine co-starred in the film. Later, Cohn signed Cromwell to a multi-year contract based on the strength of his performance and success in his first venture at the box-office. Amidst the flurry of publicity during this period, Cromwell toured the country, even meeting President Herbert Hoover in Washington, D.C.

Cromwell by then had maintained a deep friendship with Marie Dressler, which continued until her death from cancer in 1934. Dressler was nominated for a second Best Actress award for her 1932 portrayal of the title role in Emma. With that film, Dressler demonstrated her profound generosity to other performers: Dressler personally insisted that her studio bosses cast Cromwell on a loan-out in the lead opposite her. This was another break that helped sustain his rising status in Hollywood. Emma also starred Myrna Loy in one of her earlier screen performances.

Cromwell's next role in 1932 was as Mike in Gregory La Cava's, The Age of Consent, co-starring Eric Linden and Dorothy Wilson. Cromwell is also remembered during this period in Hoop-La (1933), where he is seduced by Clara Bow.  Next, the much in demand Cromwell starred in Tom Brown of Culver.

Next up was an early standout performance by Cromwell as the leader of the youth gang in Cecil B. DeMille's now cult-favorite, This Day and Age (1933). To ensure that Cromwell's character used current slang, DeMille asked high school student Horace Hahn to read the script and comment. He starred with Jean Arthur in 1934, in "The Most Precious Thing in Life."

After a promising start, Cromwell's many early pictures at Columbia Pictures and elsewhere were mostly inconsequential. Cromwell starred with Will Rogers in Life Begins at 40 for Fox Film Corporation in 1935 and appeared in Poppy in 1936 as the suitor of W.C. Fields' daughter, Rochelle Hudson. In 1937, he portrayed the young bank-robber in love with Helen Mack and on the lam from Lionel Atwill in The Wrong Road.

Broadway and network radio

In 1936, Cromwell took a detour in his career to Broadway for the chance to star as an evil cadet in an original play by Joseph Viertel, So Proudly We Hail!. The military drama was directed by future film director Charles Walters, co-starred Edward Andrews and Eddie Bracken, and opened to much fanfare. The reviews of the play at the time called Cromwell's acting "a striking portrayal" (New York Herald Tribune) and his performance an "astonishing characterization" (New York World Telegram). The New York Times said that in the play, Cromwell "ran the gamut of emotions". However, the play closed after only 14 performances at the 46th Street Theater.

By now, Cromwell had shed his restrictive Columbia contract and pursued acting work as a freelancer in other media. On July 15, 1937, Cromwell guest-starred on The Royal Gelatin Hour hosted by Rudy Vallee, in a dramatic skit opposite Fay Wray. Enjoying the experience, Cromwell had his agent secure for him an audition for the role of Kit Marshall on the soap opera Those We Love, first on NBC Radio and then on CBS Radio. As a regular on the Monday night program which ran from 1938 until 1942, Cromwell played opposite Nan Grey; Grey played Kit's twin sister, Kathy.

Late 1930s

In the late 1930s, Cromwell appeared in Storm Over Bengal, for Republic Pictures, in order to capitalize on the success of The Lives of a Bengal Lancer. Aside from the aforementioned standout roles in Jezebel and The Lives of a Bengal Lancer, Cromwell did another notable turn as defendant Matt Clay to Henry Fonda's title-performance in Young Mr. Lincoln (1939).

In 1939, Cromwell again tried his luck on the stage in a regional production of Sutton Vane's play Outward Bound, featuring Dorothy Jordan as his co-star.

1940s and military service

In the early 1940s, Universal Pictures released Enemy Agent starring Cromwell as a draftsman who thwarts the Nazis. In 1942, he went on to appear in marginal but still watchable fare such as Baby Face Morgan, which co-starred Mary Carlisle.

Cromwell enjoyed a career boost, if not a critically acclaimed performance, in the film adaptation of the hit radio serial: Cosmo Jones, Crime Smasher (1943), opposite Gale Storm. Next up at Monogram Pictures, he was cast as a doctor working covertly for a police department to catch mobsters in the forgettable though endearing Riot Squad, wherein his "fiancée", Rita Quigley, breaks their engagement.

Cromwell served during the last two years of World War II with the United States Coast Guard. Upon returning to California following the war's end, Cromwell acted in local theater productions. He also signed on for live performances in summer stock in the East during this period. Cromwell's break from films due to his stint in the Service meant that he was not much in demand after the War's end, and he retired from films after his comeback fizzled. His last role was in a noir flick of 1948, Bungalow 13. All told, Cromwell's film career spanned 39 films.

Personal life
Back in California for good, Cromwell was married once, briefly (1945–1946), to actress Angela Lansbury, when she was 19 and Cromwell was 35. Cromwell and Lansbury eloped and were married in a small civil ceremony on September 27, 1945, in Independence, California. In her authorized biography, Balancing Act, Lansbury recounts her life with Cromwell, as well as the couple's close friendship with Zachary Scott and his first wife, Elaine. Lansbury and Cromwell have stars within walking distance of each other on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Cromwell made just one statement to the press regarding his wife of nine months and one of her habits: "All over the house, tea bags. In the middle of the night she'd get up and start drinking tea. It nearly drove me crazy."

According to the biography: Angela Lansbury, A Life on Stage and Screen, Lansbury stated in a 1966 interview that her first marriage, "was a mistake" and that she learned from it. She stated, "I wouldn't have not done it", and, "I was too young at 19. [The marriage] shouldn't have happened." Articles based on interviews with Lansbury have stated that Cromwell was gay. Cromwell and Lansbury remained friends until his death in 1960.

Death and legacy
In July 1960, Cromwell signed with producer Maury Dexter for 20th Century Fox's planned production of The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come, co-starring Jimmie Rodgers, Bob Dix (son of Richard Dix), and Neil Hamilton who replaced Cromwell in the film. Cromwell became ill and died on October 11, 1960 in Hollywood of liver cancer, at the age of 50. He is interred at Fairhaven Memorial Park in Santa Ana, California.

Cromwell's legacy is preserved today by his nephew Dan Putnam, and his cousin Bill Keane IV, both of the Conejo Valley in Southern California, as well as the family of his late niece, Joan Radabaugh, of the Central Coast. In 2005, Keane donated materials relating to Cromwell's radio performances to the Thousand Oaks Library's Special Collection, "The American Radio Archive". In 2007, Keane donated memorabilia relating to Cromwell's film career and ceramics work to the AMPAS Margaret Herrick Library in Beverly Hills.

Cromwell was mentioned in Gore Vidal's satirical novel Myra Breckinridge (1968) as "the late Richard Cromwell, so satisfyingly tortured in Lives of a Bengal Lancer".

HomeMyanmar Train GuideAsia TrainsMalaysia Trains
Malaysia has one of smallest railway networks in South East Asia, but also one of the most efficient. Malaysia is one of the few countries in the region where travel by train is faster than travel by bus, and also more expensive. Most of the train services are electric with trains reaching comparable speeds to commuter services in Europe with similar levels of comfort.
About Malaysia Trains
Malaysia has three main long distance railway lines, spanning total of around 1,830 km of track. In West Malaysia, also known as Peninsular Malaysia, there is the West Coast Line connecting Padang Besar on the border with Thailand to Johor Bharu near to Singapore, and the East Coast Line, running from Tumpat in North East Malaysia south to Gemas in Negeri Sembilan State, where passengers can connect to West Coast Line services. The other major long distance railway line is in East Malaysia on the island of Borneo. This line is called the Sabah State Railway and it runs from Tanjung Aru in Kota Kinabalu State to the town of Tenom in the interior of the country. There are also several suburban and commuter railway and monorail lines running from Kuala Lumpur to neighbour towns and tourist attractions such as the Batu Caves. The railway network does not cover all major destinations in Malaysia, with notable exceptions including the popular tourist town of Melaka (also known as Malacca).
Electric train service in Malaysia
The West Coast Line in Peninsula Malaysia is electrified all the way from the Padang Besar to Gemas, as are all the suburban routes operating to and from Kuala Lumpur. Services on these lines are modern and efficient. The standard of service and the cost of the tickets on these electric train varies The most expensive services being the Platinum trains and the cheapest being the Kommuter services. On the East Coast line and from Gemas south to Johor Bharu, as well as on the Sabah State Railway, train carriages are hauled by slower diesel locomotives. Malaysia's only sleeper train service, the Ekspress Rakyat Timuran, operates daily in each direction on the East Coast Train Line between Tumpat and Gemas.
Popular Train Journeys in Malaysia
Train services on the East Coast line are fast, safe and efficient and these are the most popular long distance train services in Malaysia. Other train services tend to be used by local commuters for shorter distance services and for purposes of tourism.
Sleeper berth on a Malaysia Train Service

With unrest sweeping the Middle East and economic problems in Europe, The World Factbook is trying to help readers identify the factors that may underlie these social, political, and economic changes. Accordingly, the Factbook is adding new categories of societal data, which—along with other demographic and economic entries—offer additional insight into a country's economic strength, internal stability, and impact on the environment. After a comprehensive search for datasets that are current and regularly updated, nine new fields have been added, with the World Health Organization and the World Bank providing most of the information.


Q: Hello, I would love some help! I had very light brown/dirty blonde hair as a child. All through the years, I had blonde highlights added at the salon, to the point where my hair was fully blonde. However, my roots had been coming in fairly dark, and the touch-up colour (box dye) was definitely wearing on the health of my hair. So i need chemical haircut.
So, I recently decided to dye my hair brown to improve my hair, and so I wouldn't need to go near chemical hair dye anymore.
When I first went to go brunette, it was patchy. I tried darker, and it was too dark. Then I tried removing colour, and I ended up with orange. Currently. I'm back to dark since it covers everything.
Since dyeing my hair multiple times to try to get the right shade of brown, my chemical hair is very damaged.
When you put your hair through so many processes, it is bound to break. Fortunately, yours has broken off into a cool rocker shag.
I happen to love shags… so I would rock this look, since you are already wearing it.
I'm not one to encourage damaged hair, except when you want an edgier look. I figure the dark is very attractive on you, so keep it dark.
This will get it healthier, and if you decide to take it to this extreme, stop colouring for some time to let it fade out and make it easier to bleach.
At this length, you can afford some damage and texture.
Hello Trula, what kind of problem do you have exactly?


Fall is here which means hockey. I'm not a huge fan but I do love the game. It's not about the puck, lines on the ice or even the net; it's the several times a year my brother and our friend partake in a live game. It could be basketball, tennis or fencing but for me it is an excursion in friendship.
The first London Knights game they took me to was on a weekend pass from the forensic hospital I lived in. I don't think that memory will ever leave me. For 3 hours I was not unique, I was one of 10 000 fans. Priceless!
On the topic of value and as a direct result of a home team loss I have some observations to share. My first question is who does a colour blind person cheer for in these instances? None of the players are truly local so a person could cheer for either side with as much intimacy. It is basically a matter of a jersey colour that defines allegiance and affection. It would make more sense to cheer for the fans themselves who actually live in the city. I'm not sure why people choose teams to root for and I don't know if I'm weird but I often cheer for the other team at first just to make things interesting. If it has to do with proximity I'm no more mad than anyone else.
My next question is why does a beer in the arena cost 5 times as much as the ones I drag home myself and up two flights of stairs? With a tip it cost more for three beers than it would for a case of 24.
My main question is why a business that is clearly gouging me and my friends has to have a cup for the poor bartender to receive tips? Should I have to pay for your Mercedes and the help you hire? Tipping confuses me. Being gluttons for punishment or simply gluttons we walked across the road from the arena to see how far our dollars stretched there for a beer. It wasn't much better. We paid with a stack of 5 dollar bills and were returned with over seven dollars in coins. Hint, hint. If the waitress had a degree of honesty she would have returned one of the 5 dollar bills and mentioned that we had overpaid. Instead she trolled for as much of the remnants as she could expecting coins to be easier to part with than a bank bill.
I realize it is my choice to stay home from these occasions and that I should be thankful I am able to partake in such luxuries but why should going out on the town mean I have to have a psychological wrestling match with my server? Employers could and should pay a proper wage. For me a tip is an excuse to overcharge, make useless calculations and rationalize the more or less of an evening or moment I simply want to enjoy. Often I am left with a full belly and some sense of indignation or guilt for not leaving some defined or acceptable amount of tip.
Shouldn't I just be able to enjoy my meal or drink and not have to analyze a person's performance or the timing of their service which may be more in the control of the employer than the employee? Why should every dining experience be an employee performance review? Shouldn't the employer be doing that before, after and during? If it is my responsibility I should to be compensated for it; give me the tip; no? It all becomes indigestion and a silly pastime employers themselves could and should solve.
Why should it be my responsibility to reward or punish your employees? I'm only there to enjoy the experience but instead I'm backed into a corner of calculations, judgement and mental maneuvering where I am forced to decide if your pimped out, overworked and underpaid employee is worthy of whatever spare change I have or they decide to divide my bills into. Maybe it would be simpler to have a donation box at the entrance of each establishment so I can subsidize the greed of the restaurant industry without thought. That at least would be unbiased.
McDonald's and Tim Horton's employees are run off their feet for minimum wage but I am not expected to subsidize their incomplete remuneration. If someone can't make a profit from selling 10 000 beverages at ten dollars with an investment of two, they can only be an idiot or a capitalist pig.
There are hundreds of occupations where people are paid minimum wage but the food and beverage industry wants public subsidies. This habit leads me to believe people like Jim Treliving who owns Boston Pizza is just scraping by. The truth is Jim Treliving is scraping you and me and his employees. Would you like an appetizer with that?

We must also remember the great number of single persons who. . .are especially close to Jesus' heart and therefore deserve the special affection and active solicitude of the Church, especially of pastors. Many remain without a human family, often due to conditions of poverty. Some live their situation in the spirit of the Beatitudes, serving God and neighbor in exemplary fashion. The door of homes, the 'domestic churches,' and of the great family which is the Church must be open to all of them." - Catechism of the Catholic Church
The single life may seem like the "last resort" - the state where anyone ends up who doesn't feel called to the priesthood or religious life and who can't find a suitable spouse for marriage. But the single life is just as much a vocation, a divine call, as any of the other states. The Church needs lay Catholics who work in the world, but who can dedicate themselves to their work and the spread of the Gospel, without having to worry about supporting a family. So God calls certain people to the single life in the world.
Single people can do great good in the Church. Since they are not bound to the rules of a religious community, they have the flexibility to do all kinds of work in order to proclaim the Gospel. Since they do not have a family of their own to care for, they can give their time to help other families which need them. Certain professions which require a lot of time and dedication, such as medicine or teaching, are especially suited to the single life; a single person can wholeheartedly dedicate him or herself to the work in a unique way.
As with the married state, single life is a vocation which is carried out in the midst of the world. The vocation of single Catholics is to represent Christ wherever they are and whatever they do, whether they are business people, teachers, writers, politicians, doctors, computer programmers, media experts, lawyers, musicians, government workers, truck drivers, lay missionaries or any other profession. By the silent witness of a holy life, these people are lights shining out in the world, pointing out the way to God.
This witness in the world is a special form of preaching. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states, "Lay people also fulfill their prophetic mission by evangelization, 'that is, the proclamation of Christ by word and the testimony of life.' For lay people, 'this evangelization. . .acquires a specific property and peculiar efficacy because it is accomplished in the ordinary circumstances of the world.' This witness of life, however, is not the sole element in the apostolate; the true apostle is on the lookout for occasions of announcing Christ by word, either to unbelievers...or to the faithful."
Some single people take vows of chastity (single women can be consecrated as virginsaccording to a new rite in the Church), or enter secular institutes or other Catholic associations"in which the Christian faithful living in the world strive for the perfection of charity and work for the sanctification of the world especially from within." (Catechism of the Catholic Church)

In literature, crows and ravens are a bad omen and are associated with witches. Most people believe they steal, eat other birds' eggs and reduce the populations of other birds. But a new study, which has brought together over 326 interactions between corvids and their prey, demonstrates that their notoriety is not entirely merited. The study analyzed the impact of six species of corvid on a total of 67 species of bird susceptible to being their prey, among which are game birds and passerine birds.


Weekend Wish List – We're Coco-Nuts!
Seriously, is there anyone out there who doesn't love coconut? The scent, the taste, the benefits. It's a natural superpower!
Not only are we keen advocates of the benefits of coconut oil in a healthy eating capacity, we also love to slather the stuff all over our bodies. Oh yeahhhhhh. It's renowned for its rehydrating, emollient and elasticising properties and the white wonder can strengthen hair and even counter the formation of wrinkles.
A lovely product made from blended coconut oils. It's gentle, light and effective, and can be used as a wipe-off cleanser or a deep cleansing treatment paired with a hot muslin cloth.
So so pretty. A coconut scented lip gloss with flowers encased inside – what more could you want?
This product has been on our radar for a while now. It's formulated using only 100% organic coconut oil and can be applied on hair, skin and nails for a moisture boost – truly multi-purpose (which makes it a great travel companion).
We love an effective lip balm. Throw a great tropical fragrance and a cocktail of gorgeous natural ingredients into the mix, and we're sold. This 100% natural stick balm from Burt's Bees is made from moisturising pear extract, coconut oil and shea butter and melts beautifully into the lips.

Single use device for each patient, size: 4.5" x 5"
The STAL Shield provides maximum protection for Healthcare workers on the front lines. Emergency management of airways is high risk for the patient and the providers. Airborne particles are created whenever the patient coughs, gags or even breathes. This risk increases whenever the patient is suctioned. The STAL Shield provides protection for the healthcare provider while they provide protection for the patient's airway. The Stal Shield is a revolutionary adjunct to airway management that effectively and easily improves the safety and cleanliness of your medical setting. The Stal Shield is a simple, natural adaptation to the traditional Yankauer suction wand used worldwide in nearly all medical fields from EMS, Emergency Rooms, Surgeries, Military, Rehabilitation, long term care and Veterinary facilities.
Problems with cross contamination or clean medical field isolation? Always!
Until now one of the major sources of contamination in the sterile/clean medical field has been from the patient in one form or another, and often requires suctioning to manage. The Stal provides you and your team with benefits that save you money, time and equipment, providing a secure solution to the all too common contamination control problems inherent in the use of the Yankauer suction instrument. Three Problems solved at once! Contamination Happens – we all know that. It's just that it happens at the least opportune moment and usually results in the proverbial "s.n.a.f.u." causing at least annoyance, at worst - life-threatening adverse conditions.
Available as 10 kits/box or individual kit.
I did a messy arrest yesterday where the FR's had grossly over ventilated the patient causing gastric insufflations and distention resulting in a continuous flow of vomitus which was subsequently disgorged into the oral cavity and trachea / pulmonary system. With the new CPR technique of continuous compressions at 100/minute there was a staccato ejection of vomit from her mouth during airway management procedures which naturally involved much suctioning of the oro-pharynx with the Yankauer catheter and suction tubing alone.
I put the STAL on the Yankauer first and when switching to the tubing alone, transferred the STAL to the tubing. The STAL ended up covered in vomit, but still allowed visualization while blocking the pumped out matter. The point of this being that whether the patient is breathing or actively vomiting or coughing, or if that is artificially generated splash and splatter protection is required and provided effectively by the STAL Shield and Stand.

Medical Journal of Australia report casts doubt on effectiveness of headspace
Leading academics have cast doubt on the effectiveness of headspace, which receives hundreds of millions of dollars in government funding.
A report has questioned whether significant investment in headspace has been matched by health outcomes
headspace says the report is "irrelevant" and "inappropriate"
The mental health service has received hundreds of millions of dollars in funding since 2006
A report published this week in The Medical Journal of Australia suggests mental health outcomes are not matching the significant outlay in funding for youth network, headspace.
Australian National University's academic unit of psychiatry and addiction medicine's Jeffrey Looi told ABC Radio Melbourne the paper offered a summary of published evaluations related to effectiveness of care.
"The overall picture is that there is very little evidence of substantial effectiveness — and the other part that is concerning is, so little of the people provided care in the service were actually in the published data," he said.
The effectiveness of headspace's service has been called into question. (ABC News: Isabella Higgins)
Headspace has fiercely rejected the claims, saying its own studies show the services on offer have resulted in "significant improvements" for 71 per cent of participants.
But Professor Looi said one of the largest studies included just .5 per cent of the young Australians who had used headspace.
He said public and private mental health services were assessed against agreed sets of measures in both in-patient and out-patient settings to ensure benchmarks in the outcome of care.
"The curious part is how little of this type of evaluation has occurred for headspace and why that hasn't been forthcoming, which raises concerns," Professor Looi said.
He said the report didn't question the legitimacy of the services provided but rather whether it was money well spent.
The report claims that since it was established in 2006, headspace has secured funding totalling more than $1 billion.
This includes an allocation of $765.8 million as part of the federal government's pandemic measures with an aim of establishing 10 new centres — to reach a total of 164 sites across Australia by 2025.
"There is obviously a need in the community," Professor Looi said.
"It's whether the money is well spent because of the evidence of the effectiveness of care and that doesn't seem to be forthcoming."
The report was co-authored by Professor Steve Kisely, a University of Queensland researcher, psychiatrist and public health physician.
Both professors serve on a consortium of independent academic psychiatrists who examine policy issues for the overall health system.
Given headspace clients were often referred back into public mental health services, Professor Looi said it would be useful to consider strengthening the funding for public mental health services.
"We believe it is a bottleneck in terms of access that needs to be expanded and is in alignment with concerns that have been expressed about public mental health system capacity — funding could be spent on that," he said.
Other options include established partnerships between private practice and the public hospitals with the inclusion of in-reach allied health support.
"The problem with potentially large scale NGOs and bespoke type services is that they don't interact effectively with other parts of the health services," Professor Looi said.
'Ineffective outcomes'
Headspace chief executive Jason Trethowan said the report showed "evidence of considerable bias".
"[It] is deliberately misleading, misrepresents headspace and makes irrelevant and inappropriate claims," Mr Trethowan said.
"Over the past 16 years, headspace has provided more than four million services and supported over 700,000 young people at our centres right across the country," he said.
"Headspace is firmly established as a critical component of the mental health care system and we are proud of what we offer, not just to young people but also their families and the communities in which we operate."
He said a new study exploring the outcomes of young people accessing support at headspace found just under 71 per cent of 50,000 people surveyed reported improved outcomes.
"We know young people's experience of mental health is unique, their help-seeking is fragile and improved outcomes, such as these, have a lifetime benefit," Mr Trethowan said.
"The impacts of the past two years including COVID-19, natural disasters and the rising cost of living have disproportionately impacted young people and young people are coming to headspace for help in greater numbers than ever before."

Fonda has been on the wrong side of so many issues that it's a wonder that anybody pays attention to her. Oh, I forgot! She was being interviewed by the Leftist media. They often troll for the mindless.
Jane Fonda has had a varied and somewhat controversial career. She was photographed seated on an anti-aircraft battery in North Vietnam in 1972. Since then she has been known as "Hanoi Jane." She's had a successful acting career (two Academy Awards), turned out a series of fitness videos from 1982 through 1995, married media mogul Ted Turner, is working on her fourth marriage, and continues to say and do stupid things.
Although claiming to be a Christian, Fonda is an outspoken advocate of abortion rights. In 2005, Planned Parenthood honored Fonda with the Margaret Sanger Award, named for the organization's pro-abortion and eugenicist founder.
Similar to her comments to Morgan about the GOP, Fonda is a bit light on the facts.
"Since the 1990s . . . Russia has been losing population at a rate of 750,000 a year — not to emigration, but to death. By one count, the Russian population is down to 143 million. President Putin has predicted that only 124 million Russians will be alive in 2015. In 2000, the United Nations projected that, at its present birth rate, by 2050 Russia's population would fall to 114 million.
You can read more depressing demographic statistics in Buchanan's new book Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?
In 1966 there were four abortions for every live birth in Romania. Women were aborting their children because they did not want to bring them into the dark world of Communism. In that same year, Nicolae Ceauşescu (1918–1989) issued Decree No. 770 prohibiting abortion and artificial contraception.
Like Stalin, Ceauşescu was an atheist. He was not motivated by religion or concern for families or unborn children. His anti-abortion policies were strictly utilitarian, "an attempt to build his country into a colossus through population growth."1 In an ironic twist, Ceauşescu's anti-abortion policies led to his downfall since it was the children born after the Decree went into effect who took part in the revolution of 1989 that led to the tyrant's execution.
Fonda and her pro-abortion allies have more in common with the tyrants of history than they realize. More than 100 million preborn babies have been aborted since Roe v. Wade, about the same number who had been murdered by the tyrants of the 20th century.
Fonda was wrong about abortion, and she's wrong on policies held by the constitutional conservatives in the GOP. The policies she wants to continue at status quo levels will bankrupt the United States, and there's not a nation in the world that will bail us out.


Interestingly I think well known brands today are trying to become more like political parties and they shouldn't.
Whilst political parties today are becoming more like well known brands and they shouldn't.
Brands today want to have a purpose over and above their designed purpose and instead moving into social justice warrior status. You know who I am talking about.
It is brands now that wish to be involved with issues that really shouldn't be any of their business. Stick to making great products.
Political parties want to be loved for their image today like brands. It's all about image and no substance no ambition in ideas or quite frankly respect for people.
And they (like some brands) are afraid to stand out and make an impact and instead become wishy-washy afraid it may offend or miss a vote. Standing for nothing is surely a way to failure.
In the hustings you can actually see the presentation training the leaders have been through, it was so painfully visible, the classic repeating someones name when asked a question. "Good question Jim and thanks for that, I think t is a really important question Jim, what do you do for a living Jim..." (Pass me the bucket). And brands are starting to do this they are faking sincerity.
We should be against brands becoming politicians and against politicians becoming brands.
It's rare, but I disagree with you Sell! Sell!
"Mawdsley ....asserts that the political parties are wrong to think of themselves as brands, and adopt over-simplified slogans and positions."
As Dave Trott would testify, the electorate/ consumer is a simple being. I would argue that the successful parties employed basic marketing practices successfully, by identifying the most motivating consumer need and tailoring their messaging accordingly.
UKIP - The anti-immigration party. Nearly 4m votes.
SNP - The Scottish independence party. 56 seats.
The Tories - You can trust us with the economy. 330 seats.
It was Axelrod/ Labour who behaved like a brand, over-complicating their message and trusting the polls.
Perhaps you could launch your new book by sending a copy to each of the Labour leadership candidates. I'm sure it's full of smart, simple communication thinking that would help a beleaguered and confused party.
I think you've got a good point there Anon, and yes some of the parties were better than others at distilling a simple thought that meant something to at least some part of the electorate. The tories did have their 'We'll look after the economy"/"Don't let labour screw up the economy" message pretty honed - but they were as guilty as anyone for over-emphasising style and personality over substance. Generally it's easier for the smaller/niche parties as they can take the 'traditional' advertising approach of picking one thing and hammering that.Clearly labour never got their act together.
I don't think people are as stupid/simple as marketers and ad folk tend to think though. Although in this busy, time-poor world honing and simplifying your massage to one clear proposition is clearly vital.
Disagree: "but they (Tories) were as guilty as anyone for over-emphasising style and personality over substance."
Nope, Cameron refused several debates and they really had to get him "pumped up" (no tie, vigorous arm movements, sweaty upper lip) the weekend before the election to convince the electorate that he was a human and cared. In spite of 5 years of evidence to the contrary, the Tories seemed to stick to policy over personality for most of the campaign. Admirable.
Disagree: "I don't think people are as stupid/simple as marketers and ad folk tend to think though."
Have you been on twitter and facebook recently? :) Of the 36% of those who voted how many are going to be better off under the Tories i wonder.
Agree, "what's in it for me" is always the best approach although£12bn of cuts and a static standard of living http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2015-32130434 don't support your view that the customer/ electorate are smarter than i think.
Good luck with the book chaps.
Well you're entitled to your opinion obviously, but I still think that people individually are smarter than they're given credit for by most marketers and advertisers. And we'll continue to create advertising based on that. While marketing and advertising people continue to think that their customer/audience is more stupid than they (and their friends) are, well it'll always be in trouble.
Politics may well be different, but then, that was the point in the first place.
I have now read the Mawdsley article. He is living in the same deluded bubble that has seen Labour gain seats in London and fail almost everywhere else.
Good post from Dave there. I think he's basically saying the same as we are - loads of nonsense, no message of substance.
In light of the topic: Sam Delaney's book "Mad Men and Bad Men: What Happened When British Politics Met Advertising" is an interesting read.


WhatsApp is a social media just like every other social media networks. One of the features of a social media is the ability of a user to block another user for any reason known to them.
So, if you have ever tried sending message to a friend on whatsapp and it isn't going through, their last seen was not visible, profile picture was unavailable and status wasn't even showing. If you've ever encountered anything of such, it simply implies that the person in question have blocked you from their whatsApp.
Although So many things can make someone to block you, but if for any reason at all someone blocks you, and you needed to unblock yourself, just relax! because i'm here with a tutorial on how to unblock yourself on WhatsApp and even chat with the person that blocked you.
1. Take down the number: Write down the number of the person that blocked you then delete it from your contact list.2. Back up your contacts: You can do this by going to Settings > Chats > Chat backup. You'll be prompted to select a Google account where the messages and media files will be stored.Once done, click "Back Up".
3. Delete your whatsApp Account: Go to account settings delete your account. Once done, you will no longer be active on WhatsApp, and this implies that no one can block a contact which is not on WhatsApp. So, whoever blocks you will no longer have you on their blocked list.
4. Clear your whatsApp data: Navigate to your phone settings > app > WhatsApp and clear the data to avoid any coincidence.
5. Re-install Whatsapp: Now, re-download WhatsApp and re-install it again. Then register your number.
6. Restore Chats: After registering, you'll receive a prompt to restore your backed-up messages. Accept it and once it is completed tap next. Now, your chats will be displayed once initialization is complete.
7. Re-add the contact: Finally, save the contact of the person that blocked you which you earlier wrote down.
That's all! If you followed the tutorial correctly, you must've successfully unblocked yourself. You can now locate the contact on WhatsApp and chat him/her.

ACCESS to financial products for Zimbabwe's marginalised groups has significantly improved, as the country's Financial Inclusion Strategy which was introduced in 2016 has begun to bear fruit, a senior banking official has said.
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) launched the National Financial Inclusion Strategy in 2016, targeting the underserved and marginalised population. At the time smallholder farmers, small-to-medium enterprises, women and youth accounted for the bulk of the economically active population but were significantly financially excluded.
FinScope Consumer Survey 2014 revealed that 23 percent of Zimbabweans are financially excluded (do not use financial products, to manage their financial matters) as eight percent rely only on informal financial products or services, 30 percent used bank services while 39 percent used other formal non-bank services.
Addressing delegates at a Zimbabwe Financial Inclusion forum RBZ Deputy Governor Dr Josephine Chipika said the country's financial services sector has recorded a significant increase in terms of access to different groups of the country's populace.
"In respect of bank accounts, as at December 2016 before the introduction of the financial inclusion policy we were at 1,49 million bank accounts nationwide and at the end of last year we had 6,73 million.
She also highlighted that the number of micro- small-medium enterprises who have bank accounts has also increased.
"The number of Small to Medium Enterprises with bank accounts was at 71 000 in 2016 and we are now at 100 000 while women accounts were 769 000 in 2016 the number now stands at 1,7 million to date," she said.
She however lamented the limited loan uptake by small businesses, youth and women, a move which she said should be addressed.
"Value of loans to Micro Small and Medium Enterprises was 131 million in 2016 and now almost 170 million it's improving but we need the uptake to be on a higher rate.
"This ultimately means that money is not yet where it should be and statistics tells us that two thirds of the country's GDP is coming from Small to Medium Enterprises so things have to change.
"Value of loans to women stood at $277 million, we are now at $432 million this means we are moving in the right direction, what we need to improve is the rate of increase but the path is correct," she said.

How 'Zombies' are Making for Good Neighbors in Senoia
By Doug Evans
SENOIA, Ga. - Security around the Walking Dead site is very tight, so it was amazing that we could get even within a block up their working set. I talked with Executive Producer Tom Luse about the show's relationship with the town of Senoia while we stood outside the gates to the Alexandria set.
"We are not the easiest show in the world to be around. There are no planes, trains, automobiles, electricity. So we have to have a tremendous amount of control and the city of Senoia gave us literally to turn out the lights, to let the grass grow, to the kind of things that makes our show special," Luse said.
He said the city of Senoia in Coweta County has not been not only a great artistic backdrop for the hit show the Walking Dead, it has been an important partner in show's success.
"When you are dealing with an apocalyptic society you ask a lot of the place you live in. There are traffic signs all around town when we film because zombies don't drive cars. We do ask for a lot of cooperation and it's been terrific, the police, the mayor, the city manager have all helped us tremendously," Luse said.
Streets must be closed. Grass and weeds grow here--well like grass and weeds but in a zombie apocalypse. And everyday fans flock here from around the world. On Main Street in the middle of even a normal work day it's difficult to find a parking space because of all the out-of-towners visiting.
The city has benefited. There is not a vacant store front here. And 15 more retail spaces are about to be built and they are already fully leased.
Frank Maguire owns Maguire's pub and can remember how desolate main street was six years ago.
"There were about five businesses here and tumble weeds blowing down the street, as like to say," according to MaGuire.
The producers said they too have a responsibility for keeping up their end of this unique relationship:
"I think a big part of having a long term relationship like our show does with this community is to listen and give back," Luse said.
The season premiere of the sixth season of the Walking Dead airs October 11th on AMC.

Editor's Note: This story was originally published May 31, 2018. It has been updated and republished in honor of the upcoming world premiere of Annie Jump and the Library of Heaven.
When Renaissance Theaterworks selected Reina Hardy as a 2017 resident playwright for the Br!NK New Play Festival, she knew she wanted to get her play Annie Jump and the Library of Heaven in front of younger audiences. While she thought the script about a 13-year-old's intergalactic destiny would appeal to a teenage crowd, she was pleasantly surprised when a group of 5 and 6-year-olds engaged with the script at a toured reading at the Boys & Girls Club.
"It made me realize that I could keep the play's appeal to older audiences, but brighten it up and tighten it up even more so every movement is totally precision-tooled," Hardy explains.
To close its 2018-2019 mainstage season, RTW will produce Annie Jump and the Library of Heaven. This is the first time RTW is fully staging a play from its Br!NK New Play Festival, with its world premiere set for March 29.
The festival started off as a week of workshops for selected Midwestern women playwrights, followed by a reading and public feedback session at the Broadway Theatre Center. While this portion remains, RTW also added toured readings to community partners, like Hardy's at the Boys & Girls Club, as well as playwriting labs for professional or aspiring playwrights, and Br!NK Br!efs, a collection of fully staged 10-minute plays.
Metoxen served as director for the staged readings of Annie Jump and says multiple people approached her afterwards to say they thought the show was ready for production. Annie Jump falls under RTW's 2018-2019 season theme She Blinded Me With Science, which focuses on strong scientific female characters.
In Annie Jump, the title character is a 13-year-old science genius with an alien-obsessed father. One night Annie meets Althea, an intergalactic supercomputer who wants to help the teenager take humanity from the earth to the stars.
Hardy got the idea from an NPR story about a man who ran a website inviting aliens to contact him. She combined this with a theoretical concept from the science history book Coming of Age in the Milky Way, where the universe evolves a consciousness. On deadline for another staged reading, she wrote the play in three days.
Along with realizing she could rework her script to appeal to a wider audience, the workshopping process allowed Hardy to develop an "emotionally satisfying" ending, which she had trouble finding before.
Metoxen says she loves the collaborative nature of the festival and the unique discoveries made when a playwright, director, dramaturg and cast combine to workshop the plays.
"Annie Jump and the Library of Heaven," presented by Renaissance Theaterworks, runs March 29 - April 21 at the Broadway Theatre Center, 158 N. Broadway. For tickets, visit r-t-w.com or call the box office at (414) 291-7800.

Q: Why doesn't Qt see my slot? I'm trying to add a context menu to a tree with the following code:
void MainWindow::FileTreeContextMenu(const QPoint& pos)
{
    QPoint globalPos = ui->fileTree->viewport()->mapToGlobal(pos);
    QMenu menu;
    menu.addAction("New Group");

    QAction* selectedItem = menu.exec(globalPos);
}

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);

    ui->fileTree->setContextMenuPolicy(Qt::CustomContextMenu);
    connect(ui->fileTree,
            SIGNAL(customContextMenuRequested(const QPoint&)),
            this,
            SLOT(FileTreeContextMenu(const QPoint&)));
}

However, when I run this, I get the following error:
QObject::connect: No such slot MainWindow::FileTreeContextMenu(const QPoint&)
  in ..\src\Fixer\mainwindow.cpp:23
QObject::connect:  (sender name:   'fileTree')

What am I doing wrong?

A:
What am I doing wrong?

It can happen if you omit to declare the slot as a real slot. You can either use the Q_SLOTS macros for that or just simply slots. In your case, the latter is more adequate because it is just an application and a mainwindow.
You also need to make sure you do not forget to use the Q_OBJECT macro in your header file.

Q: Only output header and summary with robocopy.exe I'm using Robocopy and just want it to output the header and summary, hiding everything else. I've looked at the Robocopy syntax and have tried: /NC /NFL /NS /NDL /NP
However I'm still getting this:

How can I get rid of the 0% 100% 100% 100%? It seems /NP is not doing its job.

A: I think it's because of /mt:.  For some reason /np seems to be ignored when using multi thread. Try logging with /log.  It at least lists the percentages horizontally in the log file.

Q: Django foreign key as options for autocomplete, error: Select a valid choice Thanks in advance for your help. I am building my first Django project, a ticketing application that will have over 100 items to choose from.
I'm trying to display a list of Items(foreign key objects) for the user to choose from when creating a ticket in an MDBootstrap autocomplete field. The items have both a name and ID and I want both to appear in the autocomplete options when the user is searching.
My form works when I display only the 'item_id' from the Item model in the autocomplete data (found in the script tags at the bottom of the template). But when I display the string with both 'item_name" and 'item_id'(as you see below), my form won't submit and I get the error "Select a valid choice. That choice is not one of the available choices."
How can I display both 'item_name' and 'item_id' from the Item model in the autocomplete options but then have my form submit properly recognizing the 'item_id' for its 'item' foreign key field?
Edited to add Example: Item model has object with item_name 'Large Tractor 7', item_id 'LT7'. I want the autocomplete to populate with 'Large Tractor 7 | ID: LT7'. I can make my form work if I only display 'LT7' because the Ticket model is looking for the item foreign key(i.e. LT7), but if I create the string with more information, the form produces the "Select a valid choice" error and I can't create the ticket.
models (each of these models is in a different app within the django project)
    class Item(models.Model):
        item_name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
        item_id = models.CharField(max_length=200, primary_key=True)

    class Ticket(models.Model):
        ticket_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True, null=False, blank=False)
        item = models.ForeignKey(Item, on_delete=models.PROTECT, null=False, blank=False, related_name="tickets")

view
    def TicketSubmit(request):
        items = Item.objects.all()
        if request.method == "POST":
            item = request.POST.get("item")
            form = TicketSubmitForm(request.POST)
            photoform = TicketImageForm(request.POST or None)
            files = request.FILES.getlist("ticket_photo")
            if form.is_valid():
                f = form.save(commit=False)
                f.item = item
                for i in files:
                     TicketPhoto.objects.create(ticket=f, ticket_photo=i)

                return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse_lazy("home"))
            else:
                print(form.errors)

     class Meta:
         model = Ticket
         fields = ["item", "op_name", "ticket_text"]
         widgets = {
             "created_at": forms.HiddenInput,
             "completed": forms.HiddenInput,
             "item": forms.TextInput(
                 attrs={

             ),
             "ticket_text": forms.Textarea(

                     "rows": "4",
                 }
             ),
         }

main.js
    const basicAutocomplete = document.querySelector('#basic');
    const dataFilter = (value) => {
        return data.filter((item) => {
            return item.toLowerCase().startsWith(value.toLowerCase());
        });
    };

    new mdb.Autocomplete(basicAutocomplete, {
        filter: dataFilter
    });

template
    <form id="ticket_form" role="form" action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" class="">{% csrf_token %}

                {{form.item}}
                Find Item

    #other form fields and submit button
    </form>

A: The error it's that you're creating a different string to parse the data back when you're retriving the data on the form, that the one that Django are expecting, which is the unique identifier, or your primary key.
This is more a design problem, but you have a few option available.
One could be simply, before parse the data back, when an item is selected, like for example, 'LT7 - Large Tractor 7', have a Regex pattern to adecuate the input to what Django needs to work with your model, or even easier, split the str by -. and take the first element, that w'd be the primary key that you need.
pk: str = input_from_form_string.split(' - ')[0]  # Your LT7 will be in this variable

Is a simpler way to acomplish your objective.

A: I was able to fix this in the following way.
 if request.method == "POST":
        updated_request = request.POST.copy()
        item = request.POST.get("item")
        item = item.split("ID:")[1].strip()
        updated_request.update({"item": item})
        form = TicketSubmitForm(updated_request)
        photoform = TicketImageForm(request.POST or None)
        files = request.FILES.getlist("ticket_photo")
        if form.is_valid():
            f = form.save()
            for i in files:
                TicketPhoto.objects.create(ticket=f, ticket_photo=i)
            messages.success(request, "Success! New Ticket Created")
            return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse_lazy("home"))
        else:
            print(form.errors)
    else:
        form = TicketSubmitForm()
        photoform = TicketImageForm()
    context = {"form": form, "photoform": photoform, "items": list(items)}
    return render(request, "home.html", context)

Thanks @AlexVergara for getting me pointed in the right direction.


The Windows Live Hotmail team has released a new feature to make life for people using 'throwaway email accounts' easier. With this feature it is possible to add up to 15 aliases (5 per year) to an existing account: mail received through these aliases will arrive in your central inbox.
The email received through that alias will be put in a separate folder.
Another reason for this new feature is the protection of one's online identity: you might not want to use your personal name-as-email-address with certain online shops, forums or other signup places. This way you can make sure you separate your streams of email in one central account.
With the new aliases I can see a disadvantage too: signing up for so many different things the total amount of email you receive might grow alarmingly, which could mean less time spent per email reading and responding to it. About four months ago I already posted about crowded inboxes and how to avoid them: getting a bunch of aliases set up for receiving more email on different email addresses could result in the opposite of a manageable inbox.
For email marketers this can pose a two-fold challenge as well: how to keep up with all those new email addresses in a correct manner, and how to make sure the time a subscriber spends on email is hopefully spent as much as possible on your carefully crafted email. Some tips for the last part are to focus on value and privacy: if a potential subscriber trusts you with their 'main' email address and will think it worth it to receive your email messages on that 'main' email address, you're already halfway there.

This past week was my first ever encounter with fried green tomatoes.
This little food snap means more than how good they tasted. It reminds me of strong connections made, laughter, shared stories and aspirations, and two new friends from Ann Arbor, Michigan.
This is what happens to mandarins that sit in the fruit bowl and look for all the world that no-one is going to eat them.
I used this recipe from ABC Tasmania inspired by its simplicity.
Along the way, I added my own instructions to fill in the gaps.
1. Take off the stickers on the fruit before placing them in the water.
2. Throw in the whole lemon as well as its juice.
3. Find out what temperature setting point is.
4. Try really hard to reach it. I got to 215C and if I'd waited much longer for the gas stove to get there, the jam would have evaporated.
5. Insert the word 'carefully' at the pouring into jars stage.
6. Once cool, whack the jars in the fridge and hope to high heaven that the beautifully coloured marmalade will set magically overnight.
PS – it tastes REALLY good!

Hoary-headed grebe
Poliocephalus poliocephalus (Jardine & Selby, 1827)
Order: Podicipediformes
Family: Podicipedidae
Other names: hoary headed grebe, hoaryheaded grebe
Tony Whitehead

Grebes are diving birds that typically inhabit freshwater lakes, swamps, estuaries and ponds. They tend to sit high on the water, with their long necks and pointed bills creating a distinctive silhouette. The hoary-headed grebe is locally common in Australia and vagrant to New Zealand, where it has bred. It may be mistaken for a young New Zealand dabchick.
A small greyish grebe, paler on the sides, with a stout straight bill, short legs and small wings. In all plumages a broad pale wing stripe is visible in flight, and sometimes when resting. In breeding plumage they develop distinctive whitish (hoary) streaks on the head. In non-breeding plumage a dark cap extending to below the eye contrasts with the pale cheeks and side of neck. From behind, hoary-headed grebes often show a fluffy white downy rear. They are usually silent.
Similar species: very similar in size and structure to New Zealand dabchick. In breeding plumage, hoary-headed grebe has a paler, more streaked head, an inconspicuous eye, a small pale tip to the bill, and pale buff neck and breast; New Zealand dabchick has a rufous neck and breast, and a prominent yellow eye. In non-breeding plumage, New Zealand dabchick is more rufous, and does not have the strongly capped appearance. Non-breeding Australasian little grebe also has a contrasting cap, but has a yellow eye, and a prominent pale flange at the base of the bill.
Hoary-headed grebes are common on lakes throughout Australia. Vagrant to New Zealand, where they have occurred from the Snares Islands in the south to Northland. At least two pairs bred in Southland in the late 1970s.
New Zealand records
First recorded at the Snares Islands in February 1975, then shortly afterwards at Lake Horowhenua in 1975 & 1977, and Lagoon Creek, Southland 1975-76 (breeding). Two pairs bred in Southland in 1977-78. There were many scattered records throughout the South Island through to 1989, especially at Bromley sewage ponds (Christchurch), Lake Elterwater (Marlborough), and Redcliff Wetland Reserve (Southland). The only North Island records were Aupouri Peninsula, Far North (2 birds, 1987) and Tahaunui Stream, Gisborne (1998). After a 14-year gap, one was seen at Big Lagoon, Southland, in May 2012, one at Lake Hakapoua, Fiordland, in February 2013, and three at Lake Elterwater in August 2014.
Hoary-headed grebes are gregarious in Australia. They typically avoid the shoreline and prefer deeper water habitats. Totally aquatic except when nesting, hoary-headed grebes are wary, and often fly if disturbed. They swim with head and neck partly immersed followed by shallow dives for prey.
Primarily aquatic arthropods obtained by diving. Feeds during day and when lighting is poor forages on surface. No New Zealand data.
