Mel Brooks Is Back With 'History of the World, Part II' Series / Rolling Stone
"Forty years after the film's release, Mel Brooks' classic 1981 comedy History of the World, Part I is receiving a sequel as Hulu orders the eight-episode variety series History of the World, Part II.
The show will follow the same format as the film, which was made up of segments parodying periods of world history.
Production on History of the World, Part II is set to begin in spring 2022 with Brooks on board as a writer alongside Nick Kroll, Wanda Sykes, Ike Barinholtz, David Stassen, and Kevin Salter.
History of the World, Part II will be produced by Searchlight Television and 20th Television.
"I can't wait to once more tell the real truth about all the phony-baloney stories the world has been conned into believing are history!" Brooks said of the return."

Emilio Estevez has been dropped from season 2 of The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers after he apparently refused to say whether he'd comply with the "zone A" covid rules some production companies have brought in which requires actors, and those working closely with them, to be vaccinated. The scripts are being re-written to remove Gordon Bombay. Some are saying that creative differences played a part in him being dropped, so it may have been a little of both.

Link quite long so here first few pharagraphs.
Get me that golden joystick! The miraculous return of GamesMaster
Please Channel 4, don't mess it up … Sir Trevor McDonald as the GamesMaster.
It was a cult classic in the 90s. Now, GamesMaster has been revived with three new presenters and Trevor McDonald as the sadistic cyborg. It's as smart and silly as the original – if suspiciously like Top Gear
If you happen to be in your early 40s with a particular set of interests, no two words will strike fear into your heart like "GamesMaster revival". Between 1992 and 1998, GamesMaster, a video game challenge and review show hosted by Dominik Diamond (and, briefly, Dexter Fletcher), was appointment viewing. It was smart, it was silly, it was pitched just high enough over the heads of its target audience to make it feel cool, and it tapped into the console boom like nothing before or since. So when E4 announced a GamesMaster remake earlier this year, the tired middle-aged men of the world collectively let out a prayer. Please Channel 4, don't mess it up.
Reader, they did not. Miraculously, the new GamesMaster series has pulled off the near-impossible trick of modernising the show while retaining its core DNA. There are still game reviews and challenges, but all the faces are new. Patrick Moore – who in the original series played the titular sadistic, spherical cyborg – has been replaced by Sir Trevor McDonald, and in place of Dominik Diamond are three presenters; the comedy writer Rab Florence, the esports host Frankie Ward and the Instagram comedian Ty Logan. It stands as a cruel indictment of time that Florence is the only one of the new presenters old enough to remember the original (and its coveted golden joystick trophy). And it turns out he didn't even watch it that much.

Look forward to Tennant as Fogg.
Can't wait to see The Mezzotint. It's my favourite James story and i always watch the Robert Powell read version several times over the Christmas month.

From modest beginnings as a College of Foreign Languages in 1946, Nanzan took the small step to a single Faculty of Arts and Letters in 1949 and has since grown into a full-fledged university with seven faculties and a worldwide reputation for academic excellence. The University has eleven centers dedicated to research, including three research institutes and four area studies centers. Nanzan University has the advantage of a low student-teacher ratio. Small classes and seminars provide an effective setting for interpersonal communication through which human dignity becomes a lived experience and an international outlook develops naturally. Undergraduate enrolment is presently limited to around 9,000, reflecting Nanzan's resistance to the mass-education approach.
Participants of this program will take courses within the Nanzan University Center for Japanese Studies (CJS). Since its establishment in 1974, CJS has consistently delivered high quality education. Every year more than 150 international students are engaging in intensive Japanese Language Program and Japanese Area Studies for one semester or a year as non-degree seeking students.
Nanzan University is located in Nagoya City in Aichi Prefecture. Aichi is situated right in the middle of the Japanese archipelago that stretches from north to south, making it an ideal location for studying the Japanese language and experiencing Japanese life and culture. The capital of Aichi Prefecture, Nagoya City, is a highly modernized city. Nanzan University is based in the quiet eastern area of Nagoya known as an educational, cultural and residential zone of the city. Its campuses are surrounded by greenery, creating a pleasant, urban park-like atmosphere. Nagoya is one of the leading metropolises of international trade, industry and culture in Japan.
Nanzan Website
Nanzan Brochure
There is a wide variety of courses offered in five categories: Japanese Language Courses, Japanese Seminar Courses, Lecture Courses in Japanese Area Studies, Open Courses, and Practical Courses in the Japanese Arts. Lecture courses are taught in English, but assignments in some courses may include work in Japanese.
Participants can choose to live with a Japanese family (homestay option) or with Japanese students (dormitory option) and various kinds of events with Japanese students are organized throughout the year. The CJS Office is in charge of housing arrangements and can provide one of the following options. Please note that the capacity of each accommodation is limited, and that it is often not possible to place all students in their first choice of accommodation.

Pcysys, provider of the machine-based penetration testing platform, announced today that Pcysys version 1.5, addresses newly in-force GDPR requirements. GDPR Article 32, 1(d) requires organizations to regularly test, assess and evaluate their security effectiveness and controls.
Existing methods for security validation such as human pen-testing are often performed only once a year.
These methods fail to address the GDPR continuous assessment requirement in a cost-effective way, as they provide primarily a point-in-time assessment. In the arms race of CISOs vs. Hackers, many corporates cannot afford an in-house red team. Others lack the knowledge and tools to predict and defend against sophisticated hackers in a continuous way.
This is where Pcysys meets an unattended need with software.
"We are at the verge of the industrial revolution of cyber risk validation" said Founder and CTO of Pcysys, Arik Liberzon.

Why Glenn Close is WINNING at Life
By	Margot Carmichael	• 12 months ago	• News
At 71 years old, Glenn Close is truly living her best life ever – and that isn't by chance or luck, she has spent years cultivating and consciously choosing to create a life that is personally and professionally satisfying and filled with joy.
And as Close accepted the Best Actress Golden Globe for her role in The Wife on January 6, she shared a heartfelt message with all women to "follow their bliss", something that Close has been doing for her entire adult life.
From a young age Close knew that she wanted to be an actress, saying, "When I was little, I felt destined to be an actress. I saw the early Disney films with Hayley Mills and said, 'I can do that.'"
Close wasn't wrong – she said that she could do that, and she DID. Over the course of her more than four decade acting career, Close has appeared in more than fifty films and more than a dozen television series. She has garnered countless awards and accolades including three Tony Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, three Primetime Emmy Awards, and has been nominated six times for an Academy Award.
Throughout Close's career she has often stepped into the role of strong, independent, and even villainous female characters, saying, "I've played a lot of women that people have called bitchy or evil. They have been incredibly strong."
But Close doesn't just play strong women – she is a strong woman, which, apparently, she attributes in part to her ancestry, explaining, "I come from a line of tough, wonderful Yankee women."
In her early twenties, Close put that inherent strength to use when she broke free from a "cult-like" group called Moral Re-Armament that her parents joined when they moved the entire family to Switzerland. Close was only 7 years old at the time and made the decision to leave the cult and enroll in Virginia's College of William and Mary to pursue drama at the age of 22 years old.
Things only went up from there for Close as she never returned to her cult-member days, building an enviable acting career for herself. However, although Close never returned to the cult, she did put some of her experiences and observations to use in developing various character roles.
In one of her most recent roles in The Wife, Close has said that she based much of the character who put her husband's needs and wants before her own, on her mother, saying, "In her 80s, she [Close's mother] said to me, 'I feel like I haven't accomplished anything.' My mom and my dad got married when they were 18 years old. My mom never went to college. She started having children very early. I can't say that it was fulfilling for her, for all the potential that she had. She had a great artistic mind."
Close not only was able to use her parent's relationship as inspiration for her movie roles, but also as guidance for how she wants to live her own life, with a strong desire to never play second fiddle to a man. She has openly shared her thoughts on the male ego, saying, "I don't think the male ego is necessarily conducive to having a really successful and recognizable partner."
And while Close has been married four times, she is currently single, a relationship status that seems to agree with her as she explains, "I've never felt more alive or more eager for what's coming next."
With a possible seventh Oscar nomination for her role in The Wife and an upcoming role in both a Broadway theatrical and big-screen adaptation of the musical Sunset Boulevard, what's coming next for Close seem to be many wonderfully exciting things – and we couldn't be more thrilled for her!
Congratulations, Ms. Close, on your Golden Globe win and sending you lots of luck for an Oscar win!

How to choose a domain name for your website
By Kieron Allen published 29 September 21
Make an important decision with the minimum of fuss
(Image credit: Unsplash)
How to choose a domain name? This decision is incredibly important when you're planning a new site, alongside selecting one of the best web hosting service and the best website builders with which to build a website. When someone comes across your website, the first thing they'll notice is your domain name, so it needs to be both professional and memorable.
Consequently, it's important to put in the time and effort to get your domain name right from the start, as alongside selecting a host and a builder, it's the most significant choice for your new website. You also get domain email addresses, and these professional emails immediately make your site seem more authoritative, especially when compared to email addresses from Gmail or Hotmail.
The bottom line is that you essentially need a domain name that's not only easy to remember, but that's easily found, so visitors and customers won't forget it when they want to come back. However, the art of how to choose a domain name isn't easy: we explain how you go about making this important decision.
1. Make it concise
Our top tip is to keep your domain name short. The more you ask people to remember, the more likely they are to type in the wrong characters, and if they can't get your domain name correct, they won't find you. As a rule of thumb, six letters are optimum, but as long as your domain name is below eight, you're doing well.
2. Choose the right domain extension
Make sure to choose the right extension when you register (Image credit: Shutterstock)
In the early days of the internet, there were only limited options for extensions—the letters at the end of a URL—with the majority of websites deciding on .com, and some choosing .org instead.
Today, things are very different. Every country in the world has a specific code and there are other options to choose from too. The most popular are:
.info - Sites that focus on providing information
.me - Personal sites, like blogs
.co - In most cases, an abbreviation for company, commerce, or community
.org- Community organizations and not-for-profits
.biz - An alternative to .com for businesses and commerical enterprises
.net - Usually internet infrastructure sites
In many cases, the above extensions will be combined with country codes. For example, a business in the UK might use the domain extension .co.uk. Larger organizations tend to buy up all the most popular subdomains for their primary domain name and redirect them, preventing copycat sites from trading off their success and making their site easier to locate.
The key point here is ensuring that your site is easily discoverable, but if you struggle to decide, go with .com as a default option. Even after all this time, this extension still commands respect and makes your business appear more professional.
Extensions like .com, .net, and .org are known as traditional top-level domain (TLD) extensions, while .co.uk, .ca, or .com.au are known as country code top-level domains (ccTLDs). Finally, there are new TLDs, such as .studio or .golf, which are cheaper in most cases, and don't lose out rankings- or SEO-wise.
3. Check existing domain names
The last thing you want to do is decide on a name for your site and start the branding process, only to find out the name you chose has already been taken by another organization. You can try GoDaddy's domain name search tool. It's an easy way to learn if the name you want has already been registered elsewhere.
It's also worth searching for misspellings of your chosen domain name and buying them up if available. Don't however, pick misspellings of popular sites–like fcebook.com or twiter.com. Doing so could result in a legal challenge from the website you appear to be imitating.
4. Run a language check
Be aware of language differences when you look for a domain name (Image credit: Unsplash)
It might seem odd to search for the meaning of your domain name in multiple languages, but there are many examples of words that mean nothing of note in English, but are considered odd or even offensive in other languages.
In one famous case, Ford discovered it had made a mistake marketing its Kuga in the Balkans. In that region, 'Kuga' means Black Death, the devastating plague that killed close to 200 million people in Europe between 1347 and 1351. This is one example, but there are many more.
5. Do a trademark search
Copyright law is notoriously hard to define. As a result, if your domain name includes even part of a word trademarked by another organization, you could find yourself facing a legal battle.
You should be particularly cautious if using a made-up word, as it's impossible to use the defense that it's a commonly used word or phrase. Visit knowem.com and run a trademark search before committing to a name. You'll discover if it's in use as a trademark or domain name, or if it is common on social media.
6. Don't use hyphens or numbers
Hyphens and numbers should be avoided in domain names (Image credit: Unsplash)
It's best practice to avoid using hyphens and underscores in your domain name, as it's relatively easy for users to confuse them. The same rule applies to numbers. If possible, we would advise against including a number in your domain name. Zero is particularly problematic, as it can easily be confused with the letter 'o'.
7. Consider geography
If you create a website for a local business, then it's good to have a name that emphasizes this locality. For example, a hat repair service based in Boston, Massachusetts would do well to choose the domain BostonHatRepair.com.
The trouble is, there is more than one Boston in the world. Of course, there's Boston in Lincolnshire, UK—the original Boston. But there are 15 more in the US, and others in Jamaica, Cuba, Peru, Bolivia, Andorra, Italy, Ireland, South Africa, Uzbekistan, Columbia, and Costa Rica too. It's an extreme example, but geography is an important consideration in any circumstance.
8. Make it memorable
The more memorable the domain name, the more likely people will return to your site (Image credit: Unsplash)
Websites with memorable names are far more likely to be discovered. They are also easier to recommend via word of mouth, which is why it's beneficial to use a name that's easy to say.
Depending on where you expect your web traffic to originate from, it might be worth choosing a name that's easy to say in non-English speaking countries too. It can be tough to decide on a name that rolls off the tongue like this, but it's worth the effort, as you will probably receive a lot more traffic in the long run.
9. Experiment with a word generator
There are a number of word generation tools out there, like TextFixer, which enable you to select certain keywords associated with your business and trial them in different configurations. This is a good option if you really are stuck for inspiration—but don't forget the other essential tips we've mentioned above.

2020 Albums You Need to Listen to Now
Paige Ferreira, Reporter
Hayley Williams – Petals For Armor
The Paramore front woman released her long awaited solo-album earlier this year. Petals For Armor is an emotional and very experimental piece of art. The album is a stark difference from Paramore's range of punk (from their earlier days) to their more pop centric albums. It gives a more fresh sound to Williams' strong vocals.
Sonically this album ranges from the more tropical sounds like 'Dead Horse' to the dramatic synths in 'Cre epin.' With production including help by Paramore's guitarist Taylor York, each song has its own unique sound. The album flows beautifully together in a story-like way. The production style melts seamlessly with overlaid vocals and harmonies.
Lyrically Petals For Armor is an emotional masterpiece, exploring one's femininity and individuality. Williams' has always been a strong writer, going back to Paramore's earliest bangers, this album presents even more of her heartfelt words. Tracks like 'Sudden Desire' and 'Simmer' show the range of her powerful voice which just adds to the feeling of the lyrics.
With poetic lyrics and mixed genres, this album is one to fall in love with first listen.
Savage Ga$p – The Long Halloween
Halloween may be over but don't let it stop you from giving this album a listen. The American rapper released his first full length album earlier this fall with multiple collaborations. With chill and fun vibes, this is an exciting listen.
Musically the album ranges from the upbeat sounds of 'Flipphone' to the more unique sound of ins instrumentals in 'boy, mt. silver.' The mix of hyperpop with a moodier feel makes this album unique. The album's title track 'The Long Halloween' offers smooth vocals from its feature Elise, which mix well with Gasp's raspy rapping.
The Long Halloween has fun collaborations within it. Marvy Ayy features on 'Flipphone' with both an awesome verse and producing. David Shawty has a part in the hardcore beats of 'Nitemare Dance.' There are even more features throughout the album with Freddie Dredd, Glaive, and more.
With a mix of more emotional lyrics to fun pop-culture references The Long Halloween is worth a listen.
UMI – Introspective
Following the release of her Love Language EP, Introspective was released over the summer. With mixes of acoustics, lofi, and R&B UMI mixes these sounds beautifully.
With soft and soothing vocals each track brings you into a relaxed state. Songs like 'Open Up' and 'Where I Wander' explore one's emotional vulnerability. 'Pretty Girl hi!' brings a more joyful feel with it's airy sounds.
Musically, Umi mixes unique sounds together to make each track. 'Broken Bottle' mixes Umi's soothing vocals with more of a hip-hop like beat. The track also includes more vocal effects that add to these hip-hop elements. 'Open Up' opens with effortless acoustics that mix into a smooth R&B sound.
Introspective is an album you can't help but bob your head too. Each track takes you deeper into the music and Umi's vocals pull you in further.

Over twenty years ago, the popular television show Cheers sang about going "where everybody knows your name." Of course, that show focused on a bar, but they might as well have been talking about Fargo's The Shack on Broadway. Step foot into the restaurant and you will know exactly what I mean.
The Shack on Broadway began as a Country Kitchen in the 70s. New owners renamed it in 1993 and served the patrons of North Fargo until a brief closing in 2010. In January of 2011, Tanya Bale reopened it, to the delight of customers all over the metro area.
The Shack's patrons frequent the restaurant for more than the food, although the menu is fabulous. They also come for the atmosphere and sense of home. "We take great pride in having the whole package," Bale said. "Wonderful servers, comforting food, cozy atmosphere, and great prices." And comforting food it is.
If you have never been to The Shack on Broadway, don't deprive yourself any longer. "It's worth the drive to north Fargo, and if the parking lot is full and people are waiting to get in, it doesn't mean you won't be able to get a table," Bale said. "Most wait times are 15-20 minutes or less, and by the time you drive somewhere else, you'd have a table with us." Trust me, someone that only recently discovered this hidden gem, it is well worth the wait.
The Shack's full menu can be obtained at www.shackonbroadway.com.

The Millennium is pleased to announce the launch of a one on one championship at this year's events, starting in Puget. The event will be high profile with as many games as possible being played on the CPL field & covered by the Millennium TV Webcast. It has been designed to reward the best players in the world.
The system is simple; entry will cost €30 per player with a prize purse of €1000 cash to the winner and the title of Millennium World Player Champion. Each round will be a straight knock out and players will be drawn at random on a pre-designed number system. As each round must result in a clear win and in order to encourage good, entertaining movement, if both players are alive at the end of the 2 minute match, the one nearest the opponent's start base will be declared the winner.
When you register you will receive a number from a hat, once all the numbers are allocated you will be able to see your opponent for the first round, and the draw for any subsequent rounds. For Puget, entry will be limited to 32 players, and will open on Friday 4th April at 5pm. There will be limits on number of players from an individual team in order to allow an opportunity for players at any level to test their skills. On the Friday registration there will be a limit of 2 players per team, if on the Saturday morning there are still places available, these will be open to all, including non-Millennium players, on a first come first served basis.
The Millennium are pleased to confirm that we will once again return to Sportschule Sportpark in Bitburg, Germany.
This venue has always proved popular in past years, and we expect a record team attendance for this event in 2014. 2013 team numbers for this event were the largest of the season, and in 2014 with the introduction of further competitions new for this upcoming season, the event is certain to be one of the largest we've ever held in Germany.
Accommodation deals for onsite hotels are again offered to the MS by both the Eifelstern Hotel and the Hotel Sportschule Bitburg, meaning hire cars are not necessary and leading to a great atmosphere in the evenings, particularly the infamous Party Nights at the Eifelstern!!
The European Masters will also host our 15th Anniversary Players Party, further details to follow, but if you're a team looking for a weekend of exciting paintball action alongside the best paintball teams in the world, a perfect flat playing surface and a party atmosphere, then this is an event you should not miss!
On site accommodation for the Mediterranean Cup will again be provided by Parc Saint-James, Oasis Village. A variety of accommodation types can be found scattered throughout the park, with a centre village providing a shop, restaurant and bar. No need for a hire car if you choose to stay on site and make the most of the atmosphere!
Budget Option – Accommodation and heating is provided plus parking for 1 car. Not included – Bed linen, towels, cleaning. This is ideal for teams travelling by car and able to take their own linen/sleeping bags and towels.

Millennium TV is pleased to announce its commentary team for the 2014 season, which will ensure the best and most entertaining paintball webcast yet seen.
Maurice Van Den Akker: Maurice started with the MS live crowd commentary in 2012, joining MS TV webcast from the first event in 2013. Maurice, being Dutch but living on the French Riviera, can speak four languages fluently, (French, Dutch, German & English), bringing a truly International element to the commentary.
With his languages, his knowledge of Paintball & knowing the people involved in the World Paintball scene, Maurice was an obvious choice for the 2014 MS TV webcast.
Maurice started in paintball many years ago, visiting all major tournaments & managing teams like Nextgen and Toulouse TONTON 2. He was also very active in Euroref, reffing the for The French Championship, the Ligue National de Paintball (LNP) and the local PACA leagues for the past 5 years. Maurice started his involvement with webcasting at the Millennium Malaga event in 2009 for SOP TV as well as working on videos for his home team Toulouse TONTONS. Maurice did a great job in 2013, ensuring massive improvements in the overall webcast event by event, bringing in excellent guests with which he interacted exceptionally well.
Bear Degidio: Many will already know Bear (aka Mr Worldwide), he has been involved with Paintball almost since he was born, playing his first event at 8 years and his first Pro event at 11 becoming the youngest pro player ever to play in professional 10 man events. Bear has been featured in multiple Xbox & Playstation games as well as apps & TV shows as a professional player and paintball personality. He has played professionally for many years being a double NPPL All Star and world champion. In addition Bear is CEO of one of the largest paintball park chains worldwide, Giant Sportz, with the world's best fields like Hollywood Sports Park & the infamous SC Village. Bear lives paintball 24/7. In 2013 he featured as a guest on the MS TV webcast, providing entertaining & insightful commentary.
You can follow Bear on Instagram/Twitter @BearDegidio or by email to; bear@millennium-series.com.
Shelley Farmer: Shelley has had an incredible impact on our MSTV Webcast, since joining it as one of the main presenters for the 2013 season. She is a skilled and knowledgeable presenter and has helped to vastly improve the content of our webcasts. Shelley is a natural choice to present MSTV once again in 2014, and for 2014 we will capitalise on her knowledge and experience further. Shelley will also now be a link between us and the players to enable us to constantly review and adapt our events, to help make the Millennium Series, THE events not to be missed.
Shelley was always going to be involved in Paintball having been introduced to the sport by her Father (a player for the infamous UK Predators) and Step-Father (a Pro player for Shockwave UK and the All Americans), she began playing at the age of 8. Aged 14 she competed in her first tournament, and has now competed in a vast number of events, for teams such as Wolf UK, London Tigers AM, MK Storm and Celtic Banshees. She currently plays for London Tigers, guests for Destiny in the US and is part of Team GB.
This World Class commentary team will be working hard in 2014 as many changes are being made to the webcast, allowing the audience in the grandstands to watch it and hear the commentary between points, extra events such as the one on one Championship etc..
To further enhance the quality and professionalism of the webcast the Millennium in conjunction with Radical Entertainment will have a fully equipped broadcast van at each event.
We are pleased to announce that the Mediterranean Cup will be returning to Puget-sur-Argent in The Cote D'Azur, at the Park Saint James Oasis Village for 2014.
Since the summer, a large investment has been made to completely upgrade the venue making it Europe's best paintball facilities, with 4 permanent fields with turf, air, water & electricity plus excellent Woodsball fields.
• All Fields have been completely leveled & graded and all have permanent artificial turf.
• New 200 car on-site parking.
• Trade area laid out with permanent pathways, access routes, power & water points.
• The venue is now rain proof.
With the addition of new Woodland fields, we will be offering new Millennium Woodsball Open events, 5 Man semi, 5 Man pump & 3 Man. The 5 Man semi will be open to teams eliminated from the traditional Millennium event, who will be able to enter right up until Saturday evening. Details to be announced on the website shortly. On the Saturday night there will be a big players party and on the Sunday a one-on-one tournament, (limited to 32 players), to add to the festival atmosphere.
With on-site low cost accommodation available, on site restaurant and bar, no car hire is necessary. There is also a wide choice of local hotels to suit all budgets. For these dates flights are currently very reasonable making this a very economic tournament to attend, whilst at the same time being able to participate in one of the best quality events ever held. The Oasis Village and many of the nearby hotels will be offering Millennium customers an even better deal than last year. All these deals will be available through The Millennium website at the end of next week.
This event will also see the biggest marketing campaign yet seen in paintball to ensure our sport receives the best possible publicity. This has been agreed with the Mayor and will include a huge number of 4x3m roadside signboards, video signboards, digital signboards, 1000's of posters and flyers, banners, 100 spots on Virgin-NRG radio. ALL local TV and newspapers will heavily promote the event plus many other marketing agencies, ensuring we reach the biggest possible audience.
With the backdrop of the Cote D'Azur & the Mediterranean sunshine, (hopefully), this should be a fantastic place to kick of our 15th anniversary season long party atmosphere.
Remember, with the new 5 man breakout division, the Woodsball Open, the one-on-one, plus a few more surprises, there is something for everybody here who loves our sport.
Watch out for more to come at The Mediterranean Cup 2014 as we have big plans to party, entertain & showcase paintball like never before.

It's 2017 and the House GOP Wants to Ban Live Video
Good government advocates say this rule is bad for transparency.
Ashley Dejean
Donna Edawards/ZUMA
On the first day of the new Congress, House Republicans have created a new rule in which House members could be fined up to $2,500 for live-streaming from the House floor, taking still photos, and recording audio and video. The rule is largely seen as a response to the sit-in Democrats held last year to pressure Republicans to hold a vote on gun control legislation, which they live-streamed from their phones once the official cameras were shut off.
AshLee Strong, a spokesperson for the Republican House leadership, told Mother Jones the move is an effort to "ensure that order and decorum are preserved in the House of Representatives so lawmakers can do the people's work."
But good-government advocates are criticizing the measure, saying it's bad for government transparency. "It could have a chilling effect on some members of Congress who might otherwise be inclined to depict something that's going on in the floor of the House through electronic means," says Michael MacLeod-Ball, chief of staff for the American Civil Liberties Union's Washington Legislative Office. A rule prohibiting the use of taking pictures as well as audio and video recordings on the House floor is already in place, he notes, but the new rule adds teeth to it by way of a fine.
In a passionate speech urging the House to reject the rule, Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), a civil rights icon who led the sit-in last summer, asserted that fines won't keep him from his duty to speak out if the House of Representatives is not reflecting the will of the American people. "We have a right to dissent," he said. "We have the right to protest for what is right. Regardless of rule or no rule, we cannot and will not be silenced."
Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.), Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), and Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) described the move as an "unconstitutional gag rule" in a statement released late last month when the fine was first proposed. They called it "unprecedented," arguing the rule "clearly is intended to undermine the rights of Members in the Minority to freely express their views on the House floor, which is a critical means by which Members communicate to the American public."
"It is particularly egregious that such a controversial and potentially unlawful change is being implemented in the complete absence of hearings or input from legal experts, let alone the Minority," they concluded.
Mother Jones reached out to Facebook, Periscope, and YouTube for their take on the live-streaming rule, but none of the platforms offered any comment.
Last night, in an apparent response to criticism, Republicans changed their initial proposal in order to allow lawmakers to appeal the fine to the House Ethics Committee. MacLeod-Ball of the ACLU says he's still not convinced the rule would stand up to legal scrutiny because of the speech-and-debate clause in the Constitution, which protects lawmakers if they're fulfilling their legislative responsibilities to their constituents. Even if the rule is technically legal, MacLeod-Ball argues lawmakers should get rid of it.
"The restriction is in place and for no apparent good reason," he says. "It will tend to restrict the amount of information the public gets about the way government operates."

The MESCAL4 is equipped with extremely flexible rigid foil in the leading edge. One of the results is an easy and clean start performance. The 3-line technology reduces drag – improving wing performance, thus providing pilots with the safety needed to take off from the training hill.
The JET FLAP technology is very forgiving, especially during approach to landing.
The MESCAL4 climbs well in the thermals thanks to JET FLAP technology. It shows absolutely no negative tendencies, allowing the wing to core easily also in stronger thermal.
Safety: The MESCAL4 sets benchmarks in safety.
Thanks to integrated Jet Flap Technology, travel to stall is very long and an early, massive increase in brake pressure. It is not so easy to destabilize the MESCAL4, making it an ideal relaxed companion for all conditions.

THE SERAPH SEAL, by Leonard Sweet & Lori Wagner. This is a story about the end time prophecy in the year 2048, It starts with Paul Binder getting a letter about the future and continues to other people that will play a part in the prophecy. Each chapter jumps around the world to follow each person involved. I found this jumping around to be a little distracting because sometimes it was only a short paragraph or two about that situation.
If you enjoy global intrigue and stories like the Indiana Jones books or movies, then you will most likely enjoy this book, check it out for your self. As I stated in an earlier review I not a great fan of fictional books, this one did not hold my interest as other fiction stories have.
This book is a fictional story taken from the truths of the Bible found in the book of Revelation. I would recommend you read the true story in Revolution either before or after you read this book.

Delhi chief minister and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal.
Chargesheet filed against Kejriwal, Sisodia
1 min read . Updated: 13 Aug 2018, 08:22 PM IST Pretika Khanna, PTI
In its 1,300-page chargesheet, the police alleged that Kejriwal, Sisodia and others had criminally conspired to threaten the chief secretary of death or grievous hurt

New Delhi: Delhi Police on Monday filed a chargesheet before the additional chief metropolitan magistrate accusing Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia and 11 other members of the legislative assembly of assaulting chief secretary Anshu Prakash.
The matter will be taken up on 25 August.
In its 1,300-page chargesheet, the police alleged that Kejriwal, Sisodia and others had criminally conspired to threaten the chief secretary of death or grievous hurt, prevent him from discharging his duty and cause hurt.
Cabinet ministers Gopal Rai, Satyendar Jain, Kailash Gahlot, Rajendra Pal Gautam and Imran Hussain, however, issued a joint statement, saying that the chargesheet filed by Delhi Police was 'bogus'. They alleged that it was a conspiracy to stop the government from working for the people.
"Filing of a bogus chargesheet by the politically motivated Delhi Police is based on imaginary and false allegations by frustrated elements against the chief minister and deputy chief minister, among others, and is the latest example of the central government's ongoing unprecedented witch-hunt against the Delhi government, elected with the highest ever mandate in India's electoral history," the statement said.
"The bogus chargesheet will be torn to shreds when it is put to legal scrutiny and it will be contested with all legal strength to expose the real face of the Narendra Modi government at the Centre and its puppet Delhi Police, before the people of this country," it added.
The chargesheet also accused the AAP leaders of other offences, including wrongfully confining a person, assaulting or using criminal force to deter a public servant from discharging his duty, insulting him to provoke breach of peace and abetment of the offence.
In February, Delhi chief secretary Anshu Prakash had alleged that he was assaulted by two legislators during a meeting at the chief minister's house. This led to a stand-off between the bureaucracy and the Delhi government with the bureaucrats boycotting meetings called by ministers. Kejriwal along with his party legislators, were also questioned during the investigation.
The police had searched the house of the chief minister where the alleged incident had taken place.

When Are the 2021 Billboard Music Awards?
Billy Dukes Published: January 25, 2021
The best of 2020 will be celebrated at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards, but when? It's a loaded question during a pandemic that has postponed, altered or outright canceled every awards show since March 2020.
Country fans can count on this year's Billboard Music Awards taking place on May 23 at 8PM ET on NBC. However, in announcing the date for the 2021 BBMAs, Billboard did not reveal where the show will be held or who will host or perform.
It will be a live show.
Luke Combs was country music's big winner at the 2020 BBMAs, a show moved from spring to September 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dan + Shay also had a good showing in country categories at the show. Overall, Post Malone was the big winner, taking home nine Billboard Music Awards. Kelly Clarkson hosted the NBC broadcast.
See Country Music's Shortest Marriages:
The Billboard Music Awards have traditionally been held in May and share the best charting songs, albums and artists from the previous year. The show relies on critical data, not industry voting, but there are a few fan-voted categories.
Last year's show did not include a live audience, which has mostly been how awards shows have gone over the past year, with the 2020 CMA Awards being the exception. Other shows slated for early 2021 have been moved already. For example, the 2021 Grammys were postponed from late January until March.

I cannot see how reasonable public officials, or any staff or volunteers under their direction, could have viewed the bumper sticker as a permissible reason for depriving Weise and Young of access to the event. Nevertheless, the Court of Appeals held respondents entitled to qualified immunity because "no specific authority instructs this court . . . how to treat the ejection of a silent attendee from an official speech based on the attendee's protected ex-pression outside the speech area." 593 F. 3d 1163, 1170 (CA10 2010).


For sale advertisements in newspapers and on websites have become a fertile hunting ground for scammers.
Scammers are advertising non-existent goods, hoping to use their so-called bargain to fleece you of your hard-earned money.
They are advertising anything from puppies to boats, cars and car parts to concert tickets, sometimes masquerading as Australians to lull you into a false sense of security.
Sometimes scammers hijack other people's advertisements and online seller or feedback profiles to fool you into believing they are a legitimate and reputable seller. If you do get conned, notify the website operators immediately so they can remove the advertisement.
Buying something sight unseen from strangers is always risky – particularly over the Internet.
Always try to verify who you are dealing with and to get someone independent to inspect the goods. For example, if you are buying a car then pay for an independent inspection by a mechanic.
When buying from a commercial shopping website, make sure it is a legitimate business and is a secure site. Scammers have been known to establish false sites. Independently verify that the supplier is a legitimate business with the correct address and phone number. Check that there is adequate information about privacy, terms and conditions of use, dispute resolution and contact details.
Sometimes the scammers ask you to transfer the money through a secure payment system. However, the site they refer you to is fake or a copycat site.
Selling to strangers online can also be risky. Scammers have been known to use fake cheques, money orders and stolen credit cards. See WA ScamNet's information on overpayment scams.
