It's a bit bittersweet to see the stills of Kimi Qiao :(.
Thank you for all the news.
My heart hurts too, especially when I see the number of dramas he's in that hasn't aired….
Wow, they really are trying to make lots of money off Ding Mo's books lol. I read 枭宠 and it's one of her sci-fi books. It will be very interesting to see how they will create that universe. The male lead has two identities and he hides it very well–hope they will find a suitable actor who can carry this role. Same goes for the female lead–no double identities but she learns to become a very kickass woman.
I haven't been able to watch anything with Kimi in it. Maybe in a few more months.
Li Ying is looking very sharp in the last couple of photos.
Ding Mo is raking! Seems like you've read every DM's novel out there. Lol.
I actually went to count how many I've read. Just 9. LOL.
you should tell us all about them! No doubt they will continue to be adapted.
You already know three of them: Love Me if You Dare, Snail, and Memory Lost.
There's also the one that Hu Ge was caught reading one day and everyone thought he'd join that series: Our Glamorous Time. This is one of my favorite modern novels because the girl can stand on her own two feet and run a business.
Then there's the one that Kappy mentioned in an earlier news batch that has Wang Kai as the rumored male lead. That one is about the Our Glamorous Time's female lead's older brother. A very weak plot and characterization so I'd rather not see this adaptation unless they change it for th ebetter.
Her sci-fi books are very heavy. There are complex universes in each one and they're all very interesting, but I don't think they'd translate well into moving pictures.
wow 9 is a big number. Out of that 9 what are ur top 3, may i ask? I read Our glamorous time until where they stopped trranslating. havnt gone to google translate to read the remainder.
Most of the times i prefer novel thn the drama/movie adaptation. Sometimes its nice to spot the changes made. But like you said certain things dont translate well in moving pics.
These three in no particular order: Our Glamorous Time, Snail, and 枭宠. I really don't know how to translate the last title into English. Basically a mixture of modern, mystery and sci-fi.
It seems like Ding Mo's books have garnered a lot of interest so they're doing adaptations, but it's just not the same as reading her books. If only she could write the scripts herself.
Was 枭宠 that one novel with 90 plus chapters and the ten epilogues?
I've haven't touch Ding Mo's sci fi novels because they are pretty long (haven't touch her ancient novels either).
I agree Our Glamorous Time is the better novel than Don't Turn from Summer (I'm using ShuSheng Bar's title translation) because the older brother's character was so-so in my opinion. If WK is ever associate with DM's novels again he can cameo as the older brother lol and reunite with Hu Ge for that drama adaptation.
Yes it is! A lot of her books have epilogues but I think this one tops the cake.
I read one of her ancient novels and it was so-so. I don't think this genre is her forte.
The male lead in Don't Turn From Summer was more interesting in Our Glamourous Time than he was in his own story. I can't really see Wang Kai in that role but I'd love to see a WK and HG reunion!
Thanks so much for the info. Actually i also know reading the translation is also a poorer grade than ori cause some things are lost in translation. I seldom read historical ones- cause after the translation poems and idioms kinda feels odd.
The girl in Min&Max reminds me SO much of Yang Zi. Maybe not all in objective facial features, but just the whole feeling reminds me of Yang Zi. Heh Wang Zi Wen looks adorable in that pic. Van Ness and his hair…never a boring moment at least. Wait is ZLY a really president of a company? Or is that for a drama? What kind of company is it? So cool, our badass, adorable, talented, and hardworking girl.
So many dramas, and the ones I'm looking forward to are the weird ones. lol The Legend of Ace, (because of Gina, and it looks strange) A Chinese Odyssey: Love of Eternity, (despite not liking the recent movie) This one I'm watching specifically for the pretty girls. If I'm lucky hopefully the series itself will be good.
Finally, as always thank you Kap Shifu for the informative post and air dates!
LOL. No pants. >.< !!
Min&Max reminds of this shoujo manga… Hiyokoi.
The reporters can't wait for ZLY to get married, huh. They are trying to marry her off in all sorts of reports!
OOOO!! Manga, is it cute and sweet and super fluffy? I need a fluffy, Tusu!
It's cute… I guess. Lots of people like it. The female lead is your typical as hell shoujo character, haha. Small, kind-hearted, shy, quiet, squeaks and cowers when talked to… likes chicks (as in chicken chick, hence the manga's title), likes the popular male lead who didn't like any one until he met the female lead, what a surprising plot, yes yes? roll eyes. lol.
Not as fluffy as the plot suggests, for me. I wanna pinch that chibi pipsqueak into oblivion.
Haha y does it looks like Godfrey is getting younger?
ZLY looks so pretty in her surprise at the back suit and red stilettos.
William Chan likes to exude a mischievious bad boy vibe- but over the years i notice he has a great personality. But i dont dig his acting.
Godfrey looks so darn handsome. I need him in more dramas. Lol!
Really love that suit on ZLY, it really fits her frame.
The Snow Queen stills look really well done.
Showed this pic to my friend and she said he looks like a perv LOL That hair definitely makes him look way older.
ah Kimi…..still sad that you're not around anymore…. One question though, were the money would be given to? His family?


Did you know that all the fresh fruits and vegetables available in the hotel are supplied locally? Not only that, most of our room amenities and the products available in our Alila Living boutique, such as soaps, shampoo, slippers and the Spa Alila products, are produced in Bali and many of them through village co-operatives supported by Alila. Purchasing goods that are made locally benefits our own community economically, not to mention the environment, by reducing the need for transportation. For that reason, we prefer working with vendors who adopt a sustainable approach to their operations. We do so through encouragement, agreement and regular evaluation with our existing suppliers and new ones. We encourage our suppliers to reduce their packaging and waste when sending their goods to us by bulk purchase orders.
Alila Ubud is committed to recruiting the majority of our employees from the local area and region of Gianyar regency. First priority is given to the neighbouring banjars surrounding the hotel. Around 70% of our employees live within 20 km of the hotel, and 92% are native to the island. Our recruitment process is a result of discussion and agreement with the surrounding three adjacent banjars. Our hotel also welcomes tourism students who wish to do a traineeship programme.
As part of the Payangan and Gianyar community, Alila Ubud feels responsible to give back by participating in community projects co-organised with neighbouring villages, local government, hotel associations in Bali and Ubud, and Non-Governmental Organisations such as Bali Hotels Association, Ubud Hotels Association, Subak (water irrigation community), IDEP, local schools (through regular environmental presentations), East Bali Poverty Project, TEMESI Recycling Centre, ABC Recycling Solutions, Yayasan Bumi Sehat and KIM School.


Kaiser C.E. Jarvis. Easy going, but steadfast.
Kaiser Christian Earl Jarvis, full name. Fun loving, homeschooled, easy going naturally protective, sorry had to add that some people don't like to be protected all the time. Being the Eldest of six children protective just kind of comes naturally. I try to eat healthy and keep a clean diet, I enjoy cooking. "The best food is the food you make yourself." My interests are wide and numerous, a few are: Working with my hands, reading, working out, writing, published my first fantasy novel working to finish number 2, Shooting, outdoors, etc. I have never had a relationship and really only want to have one, I am totally a one girl guy, who cares about the heart. As far as my walk with Christ it may be last on this list, but that is because his and my relationship is who I am. He is not an interest, he is not a skill, or feeling, he is a part of my being, not an after thought. So to me being a Christian is being an ambassador for Christ and should be lived in all we do. I added this part about my faith because I noticed a lot of people mentioning it was important to them, it is to me too just in a very deep way. I would expect my future family to be nothing less then Jesus Christ's ambassadors in all we do. I am on here to meet someone special, someone I can spend the rest of my life with, someone who can share the love of Christ with me and our future family.

From January 21 to 23, Mr. Frank Ning, Chairman of Sinochem Group, at the invitation of the World Economic Forum (WEF), attended the WEF Annual Meeting 2019 held in Davos, Switzerland. He expressed his views on such hot topics as global and industrial issues, global trade and investment trends, technological innovation and development, and China's reform and opening-up on many occasions, which received wide attention and positive comments both inside and outside the Meeting.
On the morning of January 22, local time, as the principal discussant, Mr. Frank Ning attended the public meeting themed on "Building a New Market Structure" and talked about future opportunities and challenges in the global market with guests including Mr. Stephen A. Schwarzman, Chairman of Blackstone Group, Mr. Brian T. Moynihan, Chairman of Bank of America, and Mr. Ruth Porat, Senior Vice President and CFO of Google. Mr. Frank Ning pointed out that the consolidation in many industries in China has not formed monopolies, accommodating fiercer competition which leads to the creation of massive values. Besides, the initial driving force of corporate investment is not the pursuit of scale, but that of market, resources, technology, brand, management, and competitiveness. This is a business model must be followed in order to survive in the Chinese market because the Chinese market is open and competitive. Mr. Frank Ning also stressed that the application of digital technology could enable enterprises to manage larger companies with simpler methods through better information and communication convenience and help to create a more comprehensive industrial ecosystem and advance the internal and external coordination of the value chain.
On the evening of January 22, Mr. Frank Ning was invited to attend the China Business Night and delivered a keynote speech. He said that China had been misunderstood in various aspects, e.g. China was accused of granting special subsidies or bank loans to SOEs and compulsory technology transfer without any data and information evidence, which are neither consistent with the basic business logic nor China's actual situation. How to eliminate the external misunderstanding of China and strengthen mutual trust is the premise and foundation for better communication and understanding between China and the rest of the world.
On the afternoon of January 23, as the main discussant, Mr. Frank Ning attended at the China Business Council Meeting and discussed with participants the globalization role, path, and impact of Chinese enterprises. He argued that globalization is the path and business model for enterprises to achieve growth. It is an economic issue rather than an ideological one. Globalization has also brought some negative effects, causing some degree of polarization between the rich and the poor. Globalization does not cover all people, but perhaps 90% of them have benefited from it. The Going-global and globalization of Chinese enterprises began with the trade in raw materials and bulk commodities. Initially, people buy raw materials for rough processing from other countries. Later, they expand business abroad to combine with domestic operations. Due to strict supervision, financing difficulties, management, etc., it is also challenging to acquiring enterprises in North America or Europe. Facing this situation and environment changes, Chinese enterprises involved in overseas business should be more cautious in their operations and be fully prepared to overcome difficulties and deal with problems. In the next three to five years, China will continue to deepen its reform and opening-up, which is the determination and idea of several generations of Chinese people.
During the Meeting, Mr. Frank Ning attended the opening ceremony and a special meeting of Chinese leaders, listening to a speech and on-site Q&A from Mr. Wang Qishan, Vice President of the People's Republic of China. Mr. Frank Ning was also invited to attend such closed-door meetings as the WEF Management Conference, the 2019 Winter Symposium of International Business Council, Bill Gates' Dialogue with Global Agricultural and Chemical Giants, and Governance Meeting of Chemical and High-end Materials Industry. He also met with Mr. Mark Tucker, Chairman of HSBC Holdings, Mr. Urs Rohner, Chairman of Credit Suisse, Mr. Jean-Sébastien Jacques, CEO of Rio Tinto Group, Mr. Werner Baumann, CEO of Bayer Company, and Mr. Steve Koltes, Co-Chairman of CVC Capital Partners. Fruitful discussions on issues such as the global economic and industrial dynamics, corporate business and development strategies, and bilateral cooperation were conducted.

6 Reasons Your Hair Is Going Gray
Here's what causes those salt-and-pepper strands.
By Karen Springen
Evan Agostini/Invision
Whether you're anxiously awaiting silver-fox status or dreading the arrival of new gray hairs, there's a good chance you'll have to deal with at least a dusting around the temples as you grow older. But that might not be true forever. Scientists are hard at work, trying to figure out how to prevent grays. So what do the researchers know that you don't?
1. Normal aging is the biggest culprit.
Okay, no surprise here. Dermatologists call this the 50-50-50 rule. "Fifty percent of the population has about 50% gray hair at age 50," says Dr. Anthony Oro, professor of dermatology at Stanford University. And like skin, hair changes its texture with age, says Dr. Heather Woolery Lloyd, director of ethnic skin care at the University of Miami School of Medicine.
2. Your ethnicity makes a difference.
Caucasians tend to go gray earlier—and redheads earliest of all. Then Asians. Then African-Americans. Scientists haven't figured out why yet.
3. Stress seems to play a role.
"Stress won't cause you to go gray directly," says Dr. Roopal Kundu, associate professor in dermatology at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. "But stress is implicated in a lot of skin and hair issues." During an illness, for example, people can shed hair rapidly. And hair you lose after a stressful event—like getting chemotherapy—may grow back a different color.
4. Your lifestyle also has an impact.
Smoking, for example, stresses your skin and hair. "Low vitamin B12 levels are notorious for causing loss of hair pigment," says Dr. Karthik Krishnamurthy, director of the Dermatology Center's Cosmetic Clinic at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, N.Y. Try eating foods such as liver and carrots, recommends Dr. Wilma Bergfeld, a senior dermatologist at the Cleveland Clinic. Foods packed with certain vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants may help protect cells against toxins and help prevent heart disease, cancer, and other ailments (and perhaps gray hair).
5. Hair and its color are separate things.
Hair stem cells make hair, and pigment-forming stem cells make pigment. Typically they work together, but either can wear out, sometimes prematurely. Researchers are trying to figure out if a medicine, or something you could put in your scalp, could slow the graying process. (Hair dye simply coats your hair in color but doesn't alter its structure.)
6. Your hair doesn't turn gray—it grows that way.
A single hair grows for one to three years, then you shed it—and grow a new one. As you age, your new hairs are more likely to be white. "Every time the hair regenerates, you have to re-form these pigment-forming cells, and they wear out," says Oro.

Oregon Football hires Georgia DC Dan Lanning as next head coach
Cameron Derby
EUGENE, Ore--- After a very rough several days for Oregon Football that saw the exit of head coach Mario Cristobal, the Ducks have a new head coach. Oregon will hire Georgia defensive coordinator, Dan Lanning, according to several reporters surrounding Oregon Football.
Rumor began circulating on Friday, when the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Lanning was to be hired this coming Monday. However, multiple reporters from Oregon came forward saying that report was inaccurate. One day later, it became official.
Lanning is 35-years-old. He became Georgia's defensive coordinator in 2019. In 2021, the Bulldogs lead the nation in scoring, are second in total defense, and third in run and pass defense.
Georgia will also be a part of the College Football Playoff in January, after being the No. 1 team in the nation over a majority of the 2021 season.
Lanning's hire could be crucial in Oregon retaining the impressive recruiting classes Mario Cristobal recruited. Cristobal also came from the SEC and installed a new blue print for the Ducks.
Oregon and Georgia will face each other to open the 2022 season. The Ducks and Bulldogs will play in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff on September 3, 2022.
NewsWatch 12 Sports is continuing to learn more about his hire. This article will be updated as more information comes in.

Paper publication dates in purple.
Scientific and analytical papers, published in independent peer reviewed scientific journals, questioning the official Bush Story of 9/11.
Some of the papers below are discussions papers published in the Journal of Engineering Mechanics. "Debunkers" have claimed that discussion papers in this journal are not peer-reviewed. This is conclusively shown to be incorrect here.
Throughout the entire process of abstract and paper submissions, and the actual presentation in Chicago, the authors were treated cordially by the symposium's organizers and those who attended the conference. Initially, authors were asked to submit abstracts. The authors submitted abstracts for two different papers, one on World Trade Center Building 7 (WTC7) and the other on the Twin Towers (WTC1/2). The abstract for the paper on WTC1/2 was reviewed by three anonymous reviewers and accepted for paper submission. The paper itself was presented at the symposium and published by IEEE without further review.
A new letter has been published at the Journal of 9/11 Studies which expands upon the points made in the peer-reviewed paper "Some Misunderstandings Related to WTC Collapse Analysis." As explained by the authors, what's particularly noteworthy is the JEM's unjustified reasons for rejecting their original paper. Very interesting considering that James Gourley also experienced problems with the JEM in publishing a response to Dr. Bazant et. al. I'm genuinely suspicious that the JEM may indeed have a bias towards Bazant and his "crush down/crush up" theory.
APRIL 2010 - Anders Björkman Published in "The Journal of Engineering Mechanics"
AUGUST 2008 - Kevin R. Ryan, James R. Gourley, and Steven E. Jones - Published in "The Environmentalist"
FEBRUARY 2008 - Dr. Crockett Grabbe published in "The Journal of Engineering Mechanics"
2006 - Not an open journal publication: Steven E. Jones, "What accounts for the molten metal observed on 9/11/2001?", Journal of the Utah Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters, 83:252, 2006.
Based on these facts, as well as my own experience in editing scientific publications before this one and authoring or co-authoring over forty peer reviewed publications, yes, I think that people should take the Journal articles seriously.
On an earlier thread, concerning whether or not Mark Roberts' work on 911 was peer reviewed or not, I was surprised to hear from both him and Ryan Mackey, that although their respective papers appear on the Journal of Debunking 911 Conspiracy Theories, that they did not actually submit them to that journal. They both said that others had posted them there with no interaction with the authors of the papers.
What this means is that there could have been no review feedback and potential correction by the authors due to any peer review claimed by the Journal of Debunking 911 Conspiracy Theories. Hmm!
Ryan Mackey says straight out that his paper is not peer reviewed by a formal process, although he did put it out in the public domain to be viewed and commented on by many.
What is the Journal of Debunking 911 Conspiracy Studies claiming for their peer review process?

fanatix | American Football | CFB | Heisman Watch: Ranking the top five candidates after Week 1
Heisman Watch: Ranking the top five candidates after Week 1
Ian O'Brien
Use the ← → (arrow) keys to browse pages
Page 1 of 3Next >
In the first week of college football, there were many Heisman-caliber performances from players such as Georgia running back Todd Gurley and Texas A&M quarterback Kenny Hill.
The college football season officially begun, and the first day featured an upset from No. 21 Texas A&M over No. 9 South Carolina.
While there were no major upsets on Saturday, No. 1 Florida State narrowly escaped with a 37-31 road win over Oklahoma State. While it is too early to name a Heisman winner, there are plenty of players who are emerging as candidates for the coveted trophy.
Here are the top five Heisman contenders following Week 1 of college football.
5. Melvin Gordon, RB, Wisconsin
Although Wisconsin suffered a heartbreaking loss to LSU by blowing a 24-7 lead, Gordon still had a fantastic game against a tough Tigers team and picked up right where he left off last season. The running back finished with 140 rushing yards and a touchdown on 16 carries, but unfortunately quarterback Tanner McEvoy had an abysmal performance with only 50 passing yards and two interceptions. Gordon's performance is enough to keep him on the Heisman radar though, and he already has a proven track record dating back to last season when he rushed for 1,609 yards and 12 touchdowns.
4. Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State
Winston did not play up to his usual standards in the Seminoles' season opener against Oklahoma State, so he cannot be considered the favorite to win the Heisman again. The quarterback threw two interceptions and didn't throw a single touchdown pass until there was four minutes left in the fourth quarter. However, it was a crucial score as it allowed the Seminoles to take a 37-24 lead and hold off an Oklahoma State rally. The redshirt sophomore quarterback also rushed for a 28-yard touchdown earlier in the game and threw for 370 yards on 25-for-40 passing. Although Winston didn't put together his best performance, his Heisman candidacy is alive and well after just one week.

If someone had told Grand Valley State University alumnus Josh Cassidy during his undergraduate years that he would be the author of a published book, he wouldn't have believed them. Flash forward 11 years into the future, and Cassidy has done just that.
"If Animals Could Talk" is a comedy book that delves into the minds of both well-known and out of the ordinary animals using witty, clever phrases and jokes. Nearly 100 original illustrations, produced by Cassidy's close friend Carla Butwin, accompany each animal quote.
The content of the book is designed to appeal to every age, with humor that reaches both a younger audience and older adults. He also injected some social commentary into the book, touching on relevant themes and pop culture in modern society.
"I want people to be entertained by it," Cassidy said. "If someone can pick it up and there's something in there that makes them smile or laugh to themselves, that's really the goal at the end of the day. It's meant to be fun and meant to bring a smile."
During his time at GVSU, Cassidy knew he wanted a career that allowed him to feed his creative nature. He enjoyed writing, yet never quite felt he met the requirements to make a living as a writer. Instead, he decided to pursue advertising and public relations because he felt it offered a good balance of business and creativity. Cassidy graduated from GVSU in 2009 and with a degree in advertising, public relations and a business minor.
After graduation, Cassidy began to work as a media-buying intern for an advertising agency in Detroit, not far from where he grew up. At the agency, he met another intern who served as a headline writer for various ads. After witnessing all of the brainstorming that went into creating headlines, Cassidy realized his desire to write couldn't be ignored.
Despite a lack of documented experience, Cassidy got to know many writers and creatives in the agency, including Butwin who was a junior art director at the time. When he expressed his interest in writing, his colleagues provided positive feedback and encouragement.
"The only thing you can ever be in control of is your work ethic and what you want to do," Cassidy said. "It might sound cheesy, but trust your instincts and give it a shot, because if you don't then you be living in this scenario of 'what ifs,' and that's nowhere to be."
Cassidy began his writing career by tackling small side projects distributed by a few of his colleagues, including writing up party invitations for a co-worker's child's birthday party and composing emails for the CEO of the company. No task was too small--he was set on making as many connections as possible.
The concept for "If Animals Could Talk" first came from a Tumblr blog created in 2014 by Cassidy and Butwin called "If ___ Could Talk." The blog was kick-started after Cassidy posted a funny animal joke on his Twitter. Butwin, who had moved out to New York to work as an art director, reached out to Cassidy after viewing his clever post letting him know she also had an interest in animals and frequently drew illustrations of them.
"If ___ Could Talk" provoked a positive response in the Tumblr community, gaining more than 35,000 followers in just under a year and making an appearance on Tumblr's annual "Year in Review" section. Realizing their blog had become an internet hit, Cassidy and Butwin began brainstorming how to transform their blog into a book.
One of Butwin's friends had previously published a book and was able to put Cassidy and Butwin in contact with a publisher at Sterling Publishing Co. in New York during the summer of 2015. As it turned out, the publisher was already a big fan of the blog, "If ___ Could Talk." After cranking out a few more sayings and illustrations, "If Animals Could Talk" was published in April of this year.


It's the 20th anniversary of the movie this year. Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon are supposed to be doing some kind of Vanity Fair cover to celebrate it. No word on whether or not Harvey Keitel and Brad Pitt will participate. I hope so re: Pitt. After all, it did launch his career.
So the CMT Music Awards are happening tomorrow. Shania Twain and Taylor Swift were photographed in Thompson's Station, Tennessee shooting a recreation of Thelma & Louise for the telecast. This, for some reason, cracked me up. And I'm not sure I can articulate why properly, or that I need to because...well... Shania Twain and Taylor Swift are recreating Thelma & Louise. Come on. It's hilarious.
I'm assuming Shania is Louise and Taylor is Thelma? So... picture Taylor Swift holding up a convenience store? On a serious tip and back to the movie for a minute – go back and watch it if you haven't in a while, and tell me you don't want to cry every time Susan Sarandon and Harvey Keitel talk on the phone. Someone organise a screening. I want to come.


On a rapid drive to boost the nations film industry to produce standard films that will have universal audience and viewership, The Gambias film industry is sparkling as the movie Gods Will premieres on Valentines Day. The movie is produced by Wilfred Adams of Afrinity Productions.
In an interview with Observer Light, Adams said the principal idea behind the movie is one that discourage divorce, faith in God, and promote spouses to remain in long standing marriages by enduring patiently despite challenges that comes with marital life.
In describing her role in the movie, the lead role Fanta played by Isatu M Bokum, said as a strong young lady, she got married at an early age after courtship for about ten years and married for five years. The problem started when she could not bear a child for her husband Omar, played by Daniel Okorie, as he is desperate to have a child.
The movie takes a gloomy turn for Fanta as her best friend Isha played by Binta Janneh, whose husband is rich and provide all her needs, began to manipulate her to go into extra marital affairs because of the way Omar is treating her. With Fantas strong perseverance, she remains faithful to her husband, even after she was driven away from her matrimonial home for not bearing a child.


Celebrity dog whisperer Cesar Millan will not face animal cruelty charges in connection with a recent episode.
Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control had been looking into complaints originating with a show of Millan's Nat Geo Wild series, "Cesar 911," said Aaron Reyes, the agency's deputy director.
In the February 26 show, Millan was working with Simon, an aggressive French bulldog-terrier mix with a history of attacking his owner's pot-bellied pigs and other animals, a National Geographic Channel spokesman said. The episode showed Simon biting the ear of one of the pigs during a training session.
Complaints started after the episode aired. There were also calls for the show to be canceled.
"Cesar has created a safe and controlled environment at his Dog Psychology Center (DPC) in California in which to rehabilitate some of the most extreme — or 'red zone' — cases of dog aggression, such as Simon's," according to a statement. "It is important to clarify that Cesar took precautions, such as putting Simon on a long leash to assess his behavior, before making initial corrections and removing the leash.
The Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control says that after an investigation, it seems there wasn't evidence of animal cruelty.
"After a comprehensive investigation including inspecting the pig, reviewing the veterinary report, reviewing the full video several times and interviewing all persons involved, the DA's office, like us, were unable to identify any animal cruelty committed by Mr. Millan. The case was then declined and closed," said Reyes.
Millan released a statement saying he was pleased but not surprised by the news.

On several occasions, Christodoulos Panayiotou organized a kind of marathon that had little to do with the Greek original but was closer to an American tradition: slow dancing. In front of a crowd of onlookers, on little stages set out under a banner that read "Slow Dance Marathon," different couples danced, one after the other, for 24 to 48 consecutive hours, forming a human chain to the tear-wrenching refrains of Lionel Richie, Bryan Adams and Whitney Houston. This collective performance in which every participant waited to experience a privileged moment of physical and emotional intimacy as well as a public representation of their love — in a manner akin to that of former countryside balls — is rooted in a long artistic tradition of fascination with folk dances and their symbolic and social dimensions. With a dose of humor, critical distance and empathy, Panayiotou, a trained dancer and theater performer, and therefore fully aware of the history and choreography of folk dance reveals contemporary bodies set in motion by the desire to be together, to be watched and to be touched. In his video Love is Overrated (2006), a staged interview featuring a critic of the slow dance phenomenon is accompanied by images of the deserted marathon, as if to suggest that once the body language of the participants has vanished, the desire for language (typical of those who do not dance) reawakens. Thus, a practice that has no aim other than itself become overanalyzed. Dance, as Giorgio Agamben puts it, reinstates the idea of art as a "pure possibility of moving," an "integral policy," a finality without end, more than any other artistic practice.¹ This is one of the reasons why both dancers and artists began borrowing from each other, well before the recent wave of works at the crossroads of their fields.
Another motivation for artists to work with dance stems from their renewed interest in common practices, beginning in the '90s and '00s, whether in the frame of relational aesthetics or the social turn. One particular phenomenon seems remarkable in the context of the first decade of the 21st century: artists-ethnologists focusing on the practices of folk dances that activate a desire to be together, a desire that has informed the history of modern and postmodern dance. Panayiotou, who studied sociology at university, positions himself precisely in this context where visual arts, anthropology and dance meet — at the very moment ethnochoreology is gaining momentum as a university discipline.²
The construction of a common world also encompasses the body, the moving body, as well as dance. In their quest to interrogate this constitution of a common world, artists are once more delving into the field of dance because "we dance, most of the time, so as to be together."
Aby Warburg had the intuition that visual arts could be read as a "certain relation to the dances executed by bodies in almost all circumstances of their lives."³ If we are to reconsider the recent evolutions of visual art in the light of this relation, exemplified by a number of works, we notice that artists often work on the tension between corporality and sociality, solitude and the desire for togetherness. These works create a link with the non-cultural aspects of dance, as well as choreographed dance and the renewal of theatricality (such as the works of Elad Lassry, Daria Martin, Kelly Nipper, and Spartacus Chetwynd and in exhibitions such as "While Bodies Get Mirrored" at the Migros Museum, Zurich, in 2010 or "Dance with Camera" at the ICA, Philadelphia, in 2009-2010.)

The desire for togetherness permeates numerous practices of modern and postmodern dance; one could say that they are inseparable. The visual arts, despite their fascination with dance, contributed very little — at least until the Bauhaus — to the creation of common worlds as initiated by a modern dancer like Rudolf Laban. This is because before artists began performing, the dimension of the common ritual remained outside artistic practices, while it has always been a pivotal element of the modernity of dance. Rudolf Laban, a painter by training who continued creating plastic works of art throughout his life, is mostly known as a teacher and theoretician of the moving body. One of his obsessions was to connect body and spirit in a dimension including a collective and cosmic vision. The problematics of community were at the center of his work at Monte Verità, in Canton Ticino (Switzerland), in the '10s, as well as in his choral dances of the '20s. His stay at Monte Verità — rediscovered and much commented upon by Harald Szeemann⁴— was less about the social body as a whole, but rather about a small community of artists. There, Laban developed, between 1911 and 1917, his ideas for a new pedagogy, influenced by a lifestyle comprising nudism, vegetarianism, eurhythmy, sexual freedom and a strong connection with nature.
Later, Laban envisioned his moving choirs as experimentations with a "community of living beings," rather than mere representations. His mass dances, parades and processions were aiming to create a spiritual communion tending towards "the growth of their inner light." This was the modern utopia, imbued with spirituality, itself tainted with the esoteric quest to constitute a common body. Laban pursued a return to ritualized dances in which everyone could take part through simple gestures, recovering the oneness of divided social bodies, as can be seen in a pageant of trade corporations he staged in 1929.
At the beginnings of postmodernism, dance remained the laboratory of this desire for the common, through ritualized practices emanating from reality and everyday life. This direction owes much to Anna Halprin, herself an heir to Bauhaus tradition, and whose work has strongly influenced the visual arts. The desire for togetherness, reaching its acme in the late '60s and early '70s, allowed for the emergence of a togetherness that went beyond the boundaries between dancers and the public, between San Francisco Caucasians and Los Angeles African-Americans, between men and women, such as in Ceremony of Us (1969). Although it remained concrete and well-anchored in reality, Halprin's "communal work" was still influenced by a diffuse pantheism and a cosmic vision, which can be perceived in the setting of the dance deck at her San Francisco house, as well as in her pieces Circle the Earth (1988), Earthdance (1992) and Rituals on the Beach (1998).
These two moments, modern and postmodern, illustrate a desire for togetherness strongly tainted with utopia, while this notion gradually dissolved during the '80s. Even Anna Halprin developed a more and more holistic and social work with her dance therapy and her desire to "heal the community" in the '90s and throughout the first decade of the 21st century.
Visual artists turned their gaze toward dance because within it they recognized the possibilities of the integral politics that Giorgio Agamben mentioned, away from the post-human body of the '90s, towards a dancing body with its rituals and popular culture. During the '90s and '00s there was a surge of works by plastic artists reconnecting with the ideas modern and postmodern dancers nourished towards the common world. This resulted in a specific tension between dance as both a possibility for togetherness and a moment of solitude — a paradox particularly apparent in many works of the '90s.

One work by Rirkrit Tiravanija, Untitled (Shall We Dance) (1993), represents a discreet yet meaningful turn in this new history. In Gavin Brown's New York gallery, Tiravanija invited couples to dance to music coming from a record player on a chair. With this piece, he questions, as he had already done in his first collective meals, the modalities of togetherness in the art field. Many works of this period depicted popular dance as a desire for togetherness referring to club culture and techno raves. Rineke Dijkstra's video installation The Buzz Club, Liverpool, England/Mysteryworld, Zaandam, Netherlands (1996-1997), Andreas Gursky's and Wolfgang Tillmans' photographs as well as Mark Leckey's video Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore (1999) all testify to this trend. In the white cube space of the gallery, Rirkrit Tiravanija's work offered the possibility to take part in a ritual social moment that had become old-fashioned at a time when the techno wave was emerging. The work provided a moment of simplicity both revelatory of and contrasting its time by taking the opportunity to move together without any other aim.
At the same time, other major works of this period, in contrast, illustrated moments of solitude, of dance for one's self, as can be seen in Dancing in Peckham (1994) by Gillian Wearing, Sam Taylor-Wood's magnificent Brontosaurus (1995) or Felix Gonzalez-Torres' "Untitled" (Go-Go Dancing Platform), 1991.
Since the end of the '90s and up to the present, the works of visual artists using popular dance to address questions of community have taken on more social and ethnological tones. In 1997, Pawel Althamer created The Dancers, a work as emblematic as Rirkrit Tiravanija's. It is an installation composed of five hanging plasma screens showing a group of naked homeless people, men and women, with tired, old and tattooed bodies, dancing in a circle, a theme particularly dear to Henri Matisse. This work, marked by both suffering and joy, gave life to the dance of the forsaken. Incarnating a contemporary version of Brueghel, Pawel Althamer, the shaman-artist, prepared the way for a community of anti-modern bodies, that stood in opposition to the aesthetical and hygienist ideology that came with modernity's unveiling of the naked body. With this work, the artist, in a spirit pervaded with mysticism, mocks the naivety of the common utopia when confronted with diminished bodies.
The first decade of the 21st century saw the irruption of popular dance in the visual arts, yet with the artists in a more distanced position, as if they were delving into a sociological quest where dance practices linked communities together. Jeremy Deller was the first to place his work in the field of popular culture with Folk Archives (1999-2005), or his video about hip hop culture, Generation Ghetto (1999), on a musical score by Vodershow. More recently, in his video Massage the History (2007-09), Cameron Jamie portrays a group of young African-Americans dancing with extremely suggestive poses on and with the furniture in a typical affluent middle-class interior studded with family portraits. Fascinated by the worlds of drugs and trance music, Canadian artist Jeremy Shaw realized the video series "Best Minds" (2007-09), a bewitching dip into the world of a group of young American males dancing together in a trance-like state, constantly on the verge of violence. In his videos and performances, Rashaad Newsome similarly explores questions connected to social protocols and hierarchies — in works like Untitled (2008) and Five (2010) — such as the voguing phenomenon in the US gay scene, popularized by Madonna's hit song "Vogue."
In this environment where group dancing generates a deepened sense of solitude, as if groups were juxtaposing individuals with no connections, the work of Christodoulos Panayiotou positions itself as a melancholic experience of the desire to break away from inter-individual distance and discontinuity. He chose slow dancing, as he explains in the Love is Overrated conversation with Shiri Reznik about Slow Dance Marathon, precisely because everyone is able to dance this sort of anti-dance and because it enables the dancers to eradicate personal space, in opposition to more complex social dances. This quest that he led over a number of years, through different works, eventually generates a tension between the individual and the collective, in an intentionally emotional climate where dance mimics the desire for love. The beholders of Slow Dance Marathon, caught between their desire to take part and their position as voyeurs of the slow dance, are excluded from a dance that invites closeness yet also illustrates the impossibility of truly being close. It is not enough to be dancing together in order to create the common body dreamed-up by modernity, even if we keep dancing to be together.

Florida State is currently on its longest ACC winning streak since the 2011-12 season.
But that doesn't mean that it's forgotten about how ACC play started. FSU lost four of its first five conference games to Virginia, Duke, Pittsburgh, and Boston College.
It's the Pitt and BC losses that sting the most out of that group.
"We talk about it because we know we shouldn't have ever lost those games," FSU guard Terance Mann said.
"Especially the Boston College one."
The Seminoles have looked like a much better team on the defensive end of the court since that loss to BC.
It's resulted in a five-game winning streak with wins over Clemson, Miami, Georgia Tech, Syracuse, and No. 20 Louisville.
FSU allowed three of the four teams it lost to at the start of ACC play to score 75 or more. The only team that didn't was UVA, which plays at one of the slowest paces in college basketball.
Louisville was the only team to reach the 75-point mark during the winning streak. It took overtime for the Cardinals to do it.
"I feel like we kind of took a whole turn with our defense," Forrest said.
"We were already kind of consistent, but now I feel like we're locked in so much that we're all together and connected. Once we did that it's hard to score against us."

Those two losses to BC and Pitt are a big part of the way the FSU coaching staff is keeping the No. 19 Seminoles (18-5, 6-4 ACC) locked in with Wake Forest coming to the Tucker Civic Center tonight at 7 p.m.
The Demon Deacons (9-13, 2-8 ACC) have struggled mightily this year. But they have the same conference record as BC (11-11, 2-8 ACC) and have a better ACC record than Pitt (12-12, 2-9 ACC).
"We bring up everything imaginable that we can think of, dream of, that they can read or research," FSU coach LeonHamilton said.
"We try not to leave anything to chance. There's no question that we've mentioned it. We talked about where we were last year. We talked about the negative effect that losing games, especially at home, has on the respect that people have for you. Believe me, I'm not real sure there isn't anything we haven't used."
Wake has already knocked off one Top-25 ACC team this year when it beat then No. 17 North Carolina State 71-67 at home.
The Demon Deacons have FSU's full attention.
"We haven't earned the right to have a big head yet," FSU coach Leonard Hamilton said.
"We haven't had enough success. In the back of my mind… We have the lingering effects of the Pittsburgh and Boston College games keeping us in check."
More: No. 24 Florida State outlasts No. 17 Louisville in overtime
The Seminoles have felt the sting of those defeats as they dropped from the Top-10 to outside the Top-25 in the polls after dropping three-straight games to Duke, Pitt, and BC. It's something they don't want to experience again.
It's also put the chip back on their shoulders that's allowed FSU to go back to being the hunter rather than the hunted.
"I feel like we play our best basketball when we have that chip," FSU guard Trent Forrest said.
"I would say that's something that we look forward to when we have that chip. Going after teams rather than teams coming after us."
But there's also the bigger picture to look at.
FSU is hoping to make another deep run in the NCAA tournament this season. The Seminoles made their first Elite Eight since the 1992-93 season last year.
"I think that if you keep thinking about the bigger picture and getting a high seed in the tournament at the end of the year," Mann said.
"That's basically what we're all trying to shoot for. Once a team has a goal in mind and knows what they're playing for, things will fall into place."
No. 19 Florida State vs. Wake Forest
When: Today, 7 p.m.
Where: Tucker Civic Center

Tom Hanks says no way back for Harvey Weinstein
https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-41678196

Image caption Hanks has won two Oscars for Philadelphia and Forrest Gump
Film star Tom Hanks has said there is no way back for movie mogul Harvey Weinstein following allegations of sexual misconduct and assault.
"We're at a watershed moment, this is a sea change," Hanks told the BBC.
"His last name will become a noun and a verb. It will become an identifying moniker for a state of being for which there was a before and an after."
Mr Weinstein "unequivocally denies" allegations of sexual assault, harassment and rape.
"Everybody has stories about some aspect of the 'casting couch'," Hanks said.
Asked if he felt complicit because he was part of the Hollywood machine that has allowed the alleged behaviour to go on, the Oscar winner said no.
Image caption Weinstein was one of Hollywood's top producers
"If Hollywood and the entertainment industry was the only place where sexual harassment occurred, I would say yes.. but… that's not the case, it's built into the rules of society.
"It would be too simplistic to say this only happens in Hollywood… I watch Mad Men, you could probably say the same about the advertising agency. Look at the halls of government, how many sex scandals do you have there?
"Anywhere that there are men in power there are going to be those types of guys who are sexual predators for the women who work underneath them. And it goes on in the homosexual community as well."
Hanks said the problem of sexual harassment was widespread.
"I've been in rooms with 40 women discussing the subject and the percentage of women who had experienced that kind of predatory sexual nature from a superior was 100%.
Image caption Hanks's wife, Rita Wilson, is an actress who has starred in shows such as The Good Wife
"There is going to be, righteously, a pause in the discussion for the women to be heard.
"Perhaps all men, myself included, should pipe down and not try to explain it or comment on it or certainly not try to defend it or even prosecute it because every one of those women, those 40 women I was in the room with, 100% of them need to be listened to.
He added that we "need to understand how vast and all-encompassing this was... it's all got to change. It's inexcusable."
Hanks added that while many people succeed in Hollywood because of their love of the craft of acting and filmmaking, there are "plenty of people going into it for power - sexual aggressiveness and sexual predatory behaviour in the workplace are criminal".
Image copyright Dreamworks
Image caption Hanks's films include 2014's Bridge of Spies
"We need to listen to everyone who has been a victim, to give them a full-throated opportunity to speak as specifically as they feel comfortable doing and the people in power - the bosses - have to take note of what the new rules are and they have to follow them."
"I'm trying to think of a worse word to use than predator and I don't think there is in this circumstance. I think there should be a code of ethics posted in every lunchroom of every company on the planet that says here is the behaviour that is expected of you as an employee of this company."
When asked if women should have "proper representation" on company boards, Hanks said: "Of course there should be, without a doubt. They should pay no attention to gender whatsoever, it should be a meritocracy.
Hanks, who is on the board of the organisation behind the Oscars, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, said he could not comment on the recent decision to remove Mr Weinstein from the board.

Image caption Hanks won plaudits - as well as an Oscar - for Forrest Gump back in 1994
"I'm not at liberty to discuss it. The board of governors, through John Bailey, has to speak with one voice."
The actor also discussed his foray into the world of literature, having just published a selection of short stories under the title Uncommon Type.
He said he was "petrified… I never thought I'd finish them to the point that they were all satisfied at the publishers. It was hard work but ridiculously satisfying".
He admitted he had "a celebrity advantage - I guess people are probably willing to talk to me for three minutes about the book and an hour and a half about all the other stuff I do in my day job.
"(But) if they were lousy, I don't think we'd be here talking."
