The LEGO Movie franchise has proven that if you build it, they will come. Coming off of two widely successful films, The LEGO Movie and The LEGO Batman Movie, comes The LEGO Ninjago Movie – based off their Ninjago LEGO toyline. While the film is still set in the same LEGO world and has the same LEGO quirks – the self deprecating humor and pop culture nods – the film doesn't pack the same punch as its predecessors. Which is ironic, because this is the most action-packed LEGO movie of them all. It's filled with ninja action, mechs, and so much more. But a lackluster story that seems to be at odds with itself makes The LEGO Ninjago Movie the weakest of the three films. My full review below.

Today 15 January, the Judicial Committee of the Queen's Privy Council in Britain will decide a case that, in turn, decides Mauritius' political future. Everyone is talking about whether or not Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth will be found guilty, and if found guilty, sent to prison or not. There will be live broadcasts on private radio. Effects of the judgment and, if guilty, the sentence, will be wide-reaching. Already the case has prevented proper negotiations for alliances for the general elections that have to be set in motion by the end of this year, for the simple reason that at least one of the chief negotiatiors is in judicial limbo.
50 years after Mauritian Independence, there is the absurd situation whereby judges (all five are "Lords") appointed by the ruling class of the ex-colonial power will be determining a criminal appeal case against the Prime Minister of an independent country.
LALIT has long called for a Court of Appeals to be organized by Commonwealth countries, so as to avoid this kind of colonial absurdity. Already the Law Lords have been called upon in recent years to statute on internal Mauritian electoral laws. We re-iterate that the Mauritian State must take an initiative to put an end to this dependence on a Court over which it shares no democratic control.
Today, the Queen of England's Law Lords will begin deciding on a case of conflict-of-interest against the Prime Minister of Mauritius. The case concerns the purchase by the Mauritian state of the Medpoint clinic. While having withdrawn from a Cabinet decision on this because his sister had a 25% share in the Clinic, Pravind Jugnauth nevertheless signed to transfer the funds, and did so speedily. The lower Courts found him guilty, and sentenced him to a year's prison. The Supreme Court on appeal found him not guilty. Then the DPP appealed to the Privy Council. Despite the rest of the executive doing everything imaginable to stop the DPP going ahead, including trying to arrest him, the DPP did go ahead. And this would have been a sign of robust democracy if only the Court of final appeal were not a completely undemocratic colonial vestige.
To make the situation even more ridiculous and even dangerous when one independent state has to bow down to the judiciary of another state, there is simultaneously a geo-political conflict between the two states, Mauritius and Britain. The British State is hopping mad with the Mauritian state. Mauritius humiliated Britain last year by persisting, despite all threats and pressures, and going ahead and getting a 94-15 majority at the UN General Assembly against Britain. The vote was on whether to go to the UN's International Court of Justice at the Hague for an "opinion" on the avowedly disgraceful behavior of the British State in the run-up to Mauritius independence. Britain in fact stole a whole archipelago, Chagos, and even forcibly removed a whole population from this part of Mauritius, and then rented part of the stolen goods, Diego Garcia, to the receiver of stolen goods, the USA, for its military base, now notorious for having been used in an illegal war against Iraq and for torturing prisoners during "rendition".
This means that, if Pravind Jugnauth is found guilty, there could be suspicion that the British State was counter-attacking for the Mauritian attack against it. If he is found not-guilty, there could be suspicion of some kind of a deal between the two States. Anything in-between has the same structural problem. Britain and Mauritius are in a grave conflict, as states. Now, Mauritius' Prime Minister who is in conflict with the British State will have his fate decided by the same British State that he is in conflict with.
The British State, while deciding on Jugnauth's conflict-of-interest, finds, itself, in a conflict-of-interest situation: the Law Lords should be recusing themselves, just as Jugnauth should have.

Understanding foreign cultures and global citizenship can be a struggle for some students. Peder Smith, Luther College junior of Brainerd, Minnesota, is creating, along with Luther's Nordic studies research team, historically based role-playing simulations in order to stimulate and to engage students in the learning of modern languages.
Smith, the son of Andrew Smith of Hastings, Minnesota, and Suzie Smith of Brainerd, is a 2016 graduate of Brainerd Senior High School. He is majoring in Nordic studies at Luther.
Smith is working with Anne-Marine Feat, Luther associate professor of French, and Maren Johnson, Luther assistant professor of Nordic studies, on the project, "Reacting to the Past." Other contributors include Nordic studies and French students from Luther and education students from the University of Agder in Norway.
For the "Reacting to the Past" (RTTP) project, Smith and the Nordic studies research team are developing two games revolving around Asbjørnsen and Moe, two Norwegian storyteller collectors, and French Huguenots seeking refuge in Denmark. Throughout the project, Smith has contemplated the full impact of this project, reflecting on being a member of a school and community brimming with Scandinavian heritage. He believes,"Researching Scandinavian history and how it's used by students learning in a classroom setting can only have a positive impact."
The importance of RTTP research such as this arrives out of the general goal of the game: student engagement with global citizenship. These goals are exemplified through the simple act of working with a diverse research team. "This research project has given me the opportunity to work with other bright students who share similar academic interests with me, as well as with professors who are excited and passionate about the project. Working with the Norwegian students who traveled to Decorah to be members of our research team was the most interesting part of the project. It was wonderful to get to know them and hear their perspective regarding ideas, perceptions and concepts," said Smith.
Smith, Feat and Johnson's collaboration is one of 30 summer student-faculty research projects funded through Luther's College Scholars Program and Dean's Office. The Student-Faculty Summer Research projects provide students an opportunity to research topics of interest alongside Luther faculty. This program is one of a wide selection of experiential learning opportunities that are part of Luther's academic core and intend to deepen the learning process.

AT&T announced on Saturday that they had reached an agreement with Time Warner to purchase the company for more than $80 billion and expected to close the deal by the end of 2017.
If approved, the world's biggest deal this year would allow the new company to control both content and distribution by connecting AT&T's millions of customers to the cable TV channels HBO and CNN, the movie studio Warner Bros. and other media assets under the control of Time Warner.
"When we combine Time Warner content with our scale and distribution…we're going to have something really special," Randall Stephenson, AT&T's chief executive, said on a late night conference call announcing the deal, the Guardian reported.
At a rally on Saturday,Trump condemned the deal forming between the two conglomerates, saying "it's too much concentration of power in the hands of too few" and that it would "destroy democracy."
Recently, the GOP nominee has been very critical of the way his campaign is being presented by the mainstream media.
"They're trying desperately to suppress my vote and the voice of the American people." he said, according to a report by Business Insider.

The mogul promised that if he manages to become the next occupant of the Oval Office, his administration will block the purchase, which he called an "example of the power structure [he is] fighting."
Comments on the deal by Hillary Clinton's spokesman, Brian Fallon, were rather vague. He told reporters October 23 that although Democrats were concerned about it, "there's still a lot of information that needs to come out before any conclusions should be reached."

Over recent years, we have been without a school canteen. This means that there hasn't been a place onsite to provide lunch for our students. We saw this as a business opportunity through for the Young Enterprise Scheme.
Our mission is to provide affordable and nourishing homemade lunches for staff and students during the winter terms. It is also our mission to provide students with work experience in hospitality. Some of our profit will be donated to our school ball committee.
Coastal Canteen makes a set menu lunch during hospitality classes and then serves this at lunchtime through the canteen. All meals are ordered the previous week. So far, the enterprise has received great support from students, their families, and staff.

"In Poland, young people are getting more and more involved in politics"
This week, Kafkadesk spoke with Joanna Zawadzka: a 22-year-old political science graduate, former volunteer at the Regional Center for international debate who also worked at the Polish Ministry of Entrepreneurship and Technology, she recently decided to run in last October's local elections in Poland's southern town of Opole, a few kilometers away from Wroclaw. Although her bid to join the local committee was unsuccessful, she tells us about what made her want to get into politics, why young people should consider getting more involved in Poland, how she sees today's political landscape and what are the biggest challenges ahead.
What made you decide to run in Opole during Poland's local elections last October?
I always wanted to participate in elections, but first I wanted to pursue my studies and finish my bachelor's degree, and I did last year. The time had come.
What would you like to change in Opole and your district?
Opole is a beautiful city full of charm, but it doesn't use its potential to the full. If I had won the elections, I would have liked the city to provide more support to higher education institutions, for instance. Students have a large and yet untapped capital that needs to be highlighted and promoted. Another big problem, as in many other cities throughout Poland, is the air quality, I wanted to use the city area to add more greenery and increase the number of available parking spaces. I know that this is a big challenge, but it's all about logistics here. Finally, many people in my neighborhood often feel threatened and scared in the streets, due to a lack of monitoring and lighting. young people poland
Are there many people your age getting involved in politics (local or national)? More generally, how do you see Poland's youth's relations with politics today?
Yes, young people are becoming more and more involved in Poland's social and political life. They often join numerous political youth groups or associations. It is certainly difficult for young people to show up because they often have to face numerous stereotypes, including the widespread idea that they lack both knowledge and experience.
However, hard work for citizens is often noticed and appreciated, and I think this is what it's all about. Through the associations and civic organizations, young people have a chance to learn from people who have experience and important knowledge to share. This is an illustration of strong cooperation between the generations and age groups.
Was this your first experience in politics?
To be honest, it's hard to say if it really was. I feel as if I've always gravitated around political involvement one way or another. I often had the opportunity to help organize political events, where I met many inspiring people, who pushed and encouraged me along this path.
What are the key-lessons that you take from it?
I certainly know what the elections look like from the inside now. It is really hard work, countless sleepless nights and a lot of stress. But the goal itself rewards and justifies everything. Even though I didn't win, I'm very happy I took part to it and I don't regret my decision. young people poland
Local elections are over, but there are many elections coming up in Poland in the next year (European, national). Are you going to get involved? If so, how?
One day for sure. Election campaigning is very expensive. Extensive structures are needed, as well, of course, as the support of a certain majority. I am only at the beginning of this road.
What's your opinion about the current state of politics in Poland?
That's a very broad question! But the first aspect that comes to mind is the fact that Poland is currently – and more than before – divided into two 'political blocs': Polish society is increasingly divided. Another important aspect is how much the image of Poland has suffered recently on the international scene. It's very difficult to reform the state under such conditions.
If you had to rank the three main challenges facing Poland today, what would they be?
Poland has to proclaim loud and clear that smog and pollution are not an abstract or a theoretical problem and that they impact the lives of people every day. The government has taken steps in this direction, but public awareness on this issue remains low, with people often burning garbage and plastic in furnaces, which has serious consequences on air quality.
Another challenge would certainly be to improve relations on the international stage with other countries. And finally, it's very important for Poland to focus on creating good conditions for entrepreneurs to strive in the current economic context and bring new products and services on the market.
Where do you think the country is heading, both in the short-term and five-ten years from now? Are you optimistic or pessimistic about your country's future?
It's hard to say. Poland is developing and following its own path. However, it's important to remember that our country also relies on a network of international relations. Bilateral ties with the United States, China, France and Germany, among others, all have an impact on Poland. The problem of one country affects another. The future is uncertain, especially in regard to Europe's many problems (refugee crisis, trade war, conflict between Ukraine and Russia).

WASHINGTON – President Bush said new Israeli leader Ehud Olmert shared with him some "bold ideas" for the future of the West Bank yesterday, but the White House still believes peace is best served by a negotiated agreement with the Palestinians.
"The prime minister's ideas could be an important step to peace we both support," Bush said after his White House meeting with Olmert.
Olmert's plan, which he now calls "realignment," calls for removing tens of thousands of Jews from remote West Bank settlements and transferring them to more secure borders, established unilaterally by Israel.
Bush aides had reacted coolly to the idea when Olmert sent a delegation to Washington earlier this month to prepare for yesterday's meeting, his first with Bush since succeeding Ariel Sharon.
In his statement, Bush repeated past U.S. positions calling for negotiations and underscoring that neither Israel nor the Palestinians should take steps that would prejudice a final peace accord.
But the president also said, "I look forward to learning more about" Olmert's plan.
His comments reflected a surprising change in attitude that emerged when Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice met with Olmert Monday night, a highly placed Israeli official said.
Olmert had expected yesterday's summit to focus on Iran and not the Palestinians.
But Rice pressed Olmert for answers about "realignment," including how soon he would go ahead with it, which settlements would be evacuated and what will happen to the strategic Valley of Jordan and the area between Jerusalem and the large nearby settlement bloc of Maaleh Adumim.
Olmert told Rice those matters are still being studied.
He agreed to U.S. appeals to make an attempt to open negotiations with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas – and to strengthen Abbas' position in the power struggle with Hamas.
"We cannot wait indefinitely," Olmert said.
Two senior U.S. diplomats are expected to visit Israel in July to try to get more details about Olmert's plan.
That may be followed by a Rice visit to Israel in August and another Bush-Olmert summit late in the year, an Israeli official said.
The two leaders were in agreement on stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
"This is a moment of truth," Olmert said.
* Promised to try to negotiate with the Palestinians before taking any unilateral steps.
* Indicated that he would transfer tens of thousands of Jewish settlers from the West Bank if no peace agreement is reached by 2010.
* Would prefer negotiated settlement, not unilateral pullout, to decide West Bank's future.
* The United States is "on the cusp" of seeking sanctions against Iran to head off its nuclear-weapons program.
* Pledged to "come to Israel's aid" if it is attacked by Iran.

No Injuries After Robbery Suspect Shoots at Tuscaloosa Police
(Noah Lueker | Violent Crimes Unit)
Officers with the Tuscaloosa Police Department were fired upon during an investigation early Christmas morning, but no one was hurt during the incident.
Captain Jack Kennedy, the commander of the Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit, said officers were called to Riverpoint Apartments on Jack Warner Parkway around 11:30 Thursday night, where a woman said she had been robbed at gunpoint by a man who then stole her car and drove away.
Tuscaloosa Police Officers began searching the city for the woman's stolen vehicle, and just after 3 o'clock Christmas morning, they were called to the Evolve apartment complex on 6th Avenue Northeast, where residents reported a man acting suspiciously.
Kennedy said officers responded and the man fled on foot and fired a shot from a handgun at the pursuing police, but no one was hurt.
TPD officers were able to capture and arrest the man, who has been identified as 36-year-old Danny William Hayes.
Kennedy said Hayes, a convicted felon, was charged with attempted murder, first-degree robbery, illegal possession of a firearm and attempting to elude police.
Kennedy called Hayes' criminal history "extensive," and said he was out on bond on multiple felony cases, and as such is now being held in the Tuscaloosa County Jail without bond.

Hundreds of thousands of visitors came to Borrego Springs and the surrounding Anza-Borrego Desert State Park last March to view a Super Bloom of desert wildflowers. Lack of rain this winter pretty much has doomed a repeat this spring.
Barring a miracle in the next six weeks, there will be no desert wildflower Super Bloom this year.
Less than one inch of rain has hit the desert floor in Borrego Springs since September. In contrast, by the end of February last year, the total was seven inches. Those six inches could translate into perhaps a half-million fewer visitors to the desert this spring.
Super Blooms don't happen often and it had been a couple decades since the last one when the rains of early 2017 filled local reservoirs and soaked the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park valley floor. Huge fields of spectacular wildflowers covered vast areas of the park, and the public took notice.
Dice, a botanist and manager of a research center in Borrego Springs, became the go-to flower expert for the media.
Beginning in late February and going through March, officials loosely estimated that as many as 750,000 people came to Borrego to have a look.
The result: some called it "Flowergeddon." Borrego Springs wasn't prepared for the crush of beauty-seeking humanity. There weren't nearly enough restrooms in town to handle the crowds, leading to a lot of public urination. Restaurants ran out of food, and traffic was insane. The first big weekend saw cars lined up for a dozen miles leading into the desert.
This year, town officials have held several "porta-potty" meetings to make sure the restroom issue doesn't resurface. But it's highly unlikely portable restrooms will be needed this year.
Dice said usually it's the rains of December, January and February that provide the moisture needed for a big bloom. But this year, park headquarters has recorded just .94 of an inch of rain.
"That's far below even normal," he said. A normal year brings about 5.5 inches of rain to Anza-Borrego, and even more than that is needed for a great wildflower experience.
"We got about 12 drops of rain yesterday," said Borrego Springs resident and former park superintendent Mark Jorgensen.
The Super Bloom was a boon to the local business community. Visitors at times spent hours in lines to get a pizza, a burrito, or just a bottle of water.
Linda Haddock, the executive director of the Borrego Springs Chamber of Commerce, is still holding out hope for a change in weather that might bring a late bloom, but she knows that's unlikely.
Dice said there will be some flowers just like every year and the perennials will bloom as always. But it won't be anything like 2017.
There is ever so slight a hope that heavy rains will come soon, which is what happened in 1991, when a drought was ended by what became known as the March Miracle.
"We were facing a similar situation and then March came and it rained for three weeks to a month and suddenly we were back in the wildflower business," Dice said. A Super Bloom happened in April that year, a month later than normal.
But forecaster Philip Gonsalves of the National Weather Service said that probably isn't going to happen.
"Based on what the climate prediction center is forecasting, I wouldn't hold out a whole lot of hope for a Miracle March," he said.

Coming of Age, Drama

Franky and Ballas have grown up together in their tight-knit community having always been best friends. Both are handsome, popular and have a bright future ahead of them – until one night at Franky's 17th birthday party, Ballas drunkenly attempts to initiate a sexual act with an equally intoxicated Franky. Ashamed of his behaviour and concerned his actions may see him outed as gay, Ballas and his girlfriend begin to spread rumours around the school that it was, in fact, Franky who showed an attraction to his best friend rather than the other way around, leading to a rift in the boys' relationship. This complex but thoughtful teen drama takes a look at the social pressure that young people face in high school and the ways in which we can all show more empathy to those who need support and guidance.

Not enough women in senior IT roles, research finds
Over half of women in IT believe females do not occupy enough senior positions, O2 research finds
Published: 21 Jan 2015 9:45
Over half of UK women working in IT believe females do not occupy enough senior positions in their company, a report has round.
Research from O2 has revealed that despite the Lord Davies 25% Women on Boards target approaching, 59% of women in technology still feel that too few females are represented in senior roles.
Two-thirds of the women surveyed (63%) said all the decision-makers in their company are male. Furthermore, 24% believe it is impossible for a woman to reach senior management.
Some 45% of the women said they dream of being the CEO or on the board of a company, yet 36% admitted their own careers had failed to meet their expectations.
Almost a third (30%) said they lack the confidence to ask for a promotion they felt they deserved. In addition, the women who felt their career had met or exceeded their expectations said 'luck' was the main factor in their success. Factors such as skills, ambition and determination hardly featured.
Ann Pickering, O2's HR director and board member, said, as an employer, the findings made for uncomfortable reading.
"We want all our people – male and female – to feel supported and encouraged throughout their career, and it's crucial that we remove any stumbling blocks preventing them from fulfilling their ambition and potential," she said.

"Our research shows that, while the diversity debate has moved on outside of the office, not enough women are actually seeing this progress at work. If we're to achieve sustainable and long-lasting change, we can't just look at women already at the top; we need to focus our efforts on women at every level, creating a strong pipeline of female talent across British businesses. If we fail to do this, there is a very real risk that these women will seek these opportunities elsewhere," added Pickering.
In response to the survey's findings, O2 has produced a guide to help businesses implement a Women in Leadership programme. In association with the HR body CIPD, the guide offers advice to businesses on core components of a Women in Leadership programme and how to ensure it benefits employees and the business in the long term.
Dianah Worman, public policy adviser for diversity at the CIPD, said businesses need the most effective leadership they can get to thrive in today's volatile and uncertain world.
"Anything that limits an organisation's ability to appoint, promote and retain half of society's potential leaders simply because of their gender has to be addressed," she said.
With a growing number of organisations seeking to tackle the unconscious bias and other unintended consequences of "the ways we've always done things", Worman said the guide O2 is launching will help those who want to improve their ability to select from the best potential leaders, regardless of gender.
"While there's been genuine progress towards government targets to improve boardroom diversity, too much of this has been skewed towards non-executive positions. We're calling on all parties in the forthcoming election to commit to a new voluntary target for at least 20% of executive director positions in FTSE 100 firms to be filled by women by 2020. This will encourage organisations to set a clear example of diverse leadership, and grant employees the benefits of management diversity from those actively involved in the business," she said. "Development programmes, such as that run by O2, are one way of achieving this target."

You may terminate this Agreement at any time by notifying Blizzard by email to support@blizzard.com. Transfers: Attempt to sell, sublicense, rent, rent, grant or otherwise transfer a copy of the Platform or any part thereof or your rights in the Platform in a manner not expressly permitted herein. Blizzard entered into a distribution agreement with Chinese company NetEase in August 2008 to release Blizzard`s games in China. The deal focused on StarCraft II, which gained popularity as an esport in Southeast Asia, as well as other Blizzard games, with the exception of World of Warcraft, which is still run by The9. The two companies created Shanghai EaseNet Network Technology to manage games in China. [23] Blizzard and The9 were preparing to release the World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King expansion, but the expansion was reviewed by the Chinese Content Regulatory Council, the General Administration of Press and Publishing, which refused to release it in China in March 2009, even with temporary changes to The9 to remove it. Rumors of Blizzard`s dissatisfaction with The9 because of this and other previous complications with World of Warcraft came to a head when Blizzard announced in April 2009 that it would terminate its contract with The9 and transfer World of Warcraft`s operation in China to NetEase. [18] [24] [25] In 1998, Donald P. Driscoll, an albany, California attorney, has filed a lawsuit against Blizzard Entertainment on behalf of Intervention, Inc., a California consumer group, for "illegal business practices" to collect data from a user`s computer without their permission.

On July 6, 2010, Blizzard announced that it would change the way its forums operate to require users to identify themselves to their real name.
[68] [69] The community response has been overwhelmingly negative, with several gaming magazines calling the change "reckless"[70] and an "epic failure." [71] This led to a significant response from users on the Blizzard forums, including a thread on the topic that reached over 11,000 responses. [72] [73] [74] [75] [76] This included the personal information of a Blizzard employee who gave his real name "to show that it didn`t matter." [77] Shortly after announcing his real name, forum users posted personal information such as phone number, photo, age and home address. [72] Duration.

After the opposition was put in a minority in favor of Valve, Blizzard filed an appeal against Valve in November 2011, citing its licensing agreement with the developers as well as its ownership of DotA-Allstars, LLC.

According to Specialized, the lightest frame the company has ever produced is destined for the dirt, not the pro peloton.
Last year Specialized launched a new race-focused family known as the Epic Hardtail. The company is upping the ante by using a new FACT 12m carbon layup that shaves a few more grams from this cross-country racer, bringing it in at a claimed weight of 800g for a bare frame, size medium. The claimed weight for a medium painted frame with hardware is still just 875g.
According to Specialized, this is lighter than the Pro Tour-tested S-Works Tarmac frame, which comes in at a bit over 900g.
Specialized increases the weight savings with a top shelf build that includes an SRAM Eagle XX1 drivetrain, RockShox SID World Cup fork with Specialized's Brain-Fade lockout system and SRAM Level Ultimate disc brakes. The whole package rolls on carbon Roval Control SL wheels wrapped in Fast Trak tires.
With the Fast Trak tires set up tubeless, the complete bike tips the scales at just 18lb for a size medium.
