Estimated $2M damage to Kenosha-owned property from violence tied to shooting of Jacob Blake
KENOSHA, Wis. - Damage to city-owned property from violence that erupted over the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha is estimated at nearly $2 million so far, a city official said.
The city's public works director, Shelly Billingsley, provided the estimate to local leaders Monday night on what it would cost to replace garbage trucks, street lights and traffic signals, among other things that were destroyed or damaged in the unrest last week.
Aftermath of unrest in Kenosha that followed the shooting of Jacob Blake
The estimate was made as some Kenosha residents feared Tuesday's planned visit by President Donald Trump may stir more emotions and cause more violence and destruction in the southeastern Wisconsin city after several days of peace. Others, however, welcomed the president's trip.
Trump's visit comes as demonstrators have been calling for the Kenosha officer who shot Blake seven times in the back Aug. 23 to be fired and face attempted murder charges, and more than a week after authorities say a 17-year-old from northern Illinois shot and killed two protesters.
Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, was shot while police responded to a call about a domestic dispute. His family held a community gathering at the shooting site Tuesday, about 2 miles (3.22 kilometers) from Trump's event.
Protests erupt overnight following officer-involved shooting in Kenosha
While some Trump supporters and detractors got into shouting matches outside Trump's event, the Blake family gathering had a community block party feel to it. Tables were set up where attendees could register to vote, get a haircut, or even get tested for the COVID-19 virus. One table was labeled as a craft table where people could write messages to put in Blake's hospital room. A DJ played music nearby.
Jacob Blake
Blake's uncle, Justin Blake, said the event was focused on getting justice for "Little Jake" — not on Trump's visit. He also said it was designed to heal the city, and he urged supporters to press for change, but remain nonviolent.
Mayor John Antaramian has said the city will request $30 million in aid from the state to help rebuild in the aftermath of the unrest. Some of the city's garbage trucks, which were parked downtown to provide security and limit movement by protesters, were set on fire during the demonstrations.
Billingsley said they were insured and that city staff is working with the insurance company to log damage information, the Kenosha News reported. Some of the trucks, which had functioned as snow-plow vehicles in the winter, were also destroyed.
Billingsley said she hoped that the setback would not affect snow plow operations this winter. She told the Public Works Committee the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors could affect the timeline in obtaining the new trucks.
City staff continues to compile numbers from the damage, Billingsley said.
DOJ: 102 evidence items collected, 88 witness interviews so far in Jacob Blake investigation
DOJ officials previously laid out the timeline of events from that Sunday evening when Blake was shot, saying Kenosha Police Department officers were dispatched to a residence in the 2800 block of 40th Street after a female caller reported that her boyfriend was present and was not supposed to be on the premises.
Rev. Jesse Jackson, Blake family urge groups in Kenosha to engage in positive community service
On Tuesday, Sept 1 at 11 a.m., the family of Jacob Blake will host a community gathering at the site of Jacob's shooting.
Pres. Trump tours damaged parts of Kenosha, takes part in roundtable on 'Community Safety'
Soon after arriving in Kenosha, a visit made over the objections of state and local leaders, President Trump toured the charred remains of a block besieged by violence and fire.

Importance: Trivalent adjuvanted inactivated influenza vaccine (aIIV3) and trivalent high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine (HD-IIV3) are US-licensed for adults aged 65 years and older. Data are needed on the comparative safety, reactogenicity, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) effects of these vaccines.
Objective: To compare safety, reactogenicity, and changes in HRQOL scores after aIIV3 vs HD-IIV3.
Design, setting, and participants: This randomized blinded clinical trial was a multicenter US study conducted during the 2017 to 2018 and 2018 to 2019 influenza seasons. Among 778 community-dwelling adults aged at least 65 years and assessed for eligibility, 13 were ineligible and 8 withdrew before randomization. Statistical analysis was performed from August 2019 to August 2020.
Interventions: Intramuscular administration of aIIV3 or HD-IIV3 after age-stratification (65-79 years; ≥80 years) and randomization.
Main outcomes and measures: Proportions of participants with moderate-to-severe injection-site pain and 14 other solicited reactions during days 1 to 8, using a noninferiority test (5% noninferiority margin), and serious adverse events (SAE) and adverse events of clinical interest (AECI), including new-onset immune-mediated conditions, during days 1 to 43. Changes in HRQOL scores before and after vaccination (days 1, 3) were also compared between study groups.
Results: A total of 757 adults were randomized, 378 to receive aIIV3 and 379 to receive HD-IIV3. Of these participants, there were 420 women (55%) and 589 White individuals (78%) with a median (range) age of 72 (65-97) years. The proportion reporting moderate-to-severe injection-site pain, limiting or preventing activity, after aIIV3 (12 participants [3.2%]) (primary outcome) was noninferior compared with HD-IIV3 (22 participants [5.8%]) (difference -2.7%; 95% CI, -5.8 to 0.4). Ten reactions met noninferiority criteria for aIIV3; 4 (moderate-to-severe injection-site tenderness, arthralgia, fatigue, malaise) did not. It was inconclusive whether these 4 reactions occurred in higher proportions of participants after aIIV3. No participant sought medical care for a vaccine reaction. No AECI was observed. Nine participants had at least SAE after aIIV3 (2.4%; 95% CI,1.1% to 4.5%); 3 had at least 1 SAE after HD-IIV3 (0.8%; 95% CI, 0.2% to 2.2%). No SAE was associated with vaccination. Changes in prevaccination and postvaccination HRQOL scores were not clinically meaningful and not different between the groups.
Conclusions and relevance: Overall safety and HRQOL findings were similar after aIIV3 and HD-IIV3, and consistent with prelicensure data. From a safety standpoint, this study's results support using either vaccine to prevent influenza in older adults.

Takarazuka Chicago at Lincoln Center Festival: All-Female Kander and Ebb Musical in Japanese
New York Theater July 22, 2016 Leave a comment
The all-female Japanese theater company that is putting on Kander and Ebb's "Chicago" as part of the Lincoln Center Festival through Sunday, was founded in 1913 in Takarazuka, Japan by the president of a Japanese railroad to increase tourism to the city. The Western-style musical theater they present has become more popular in Japan than Kabuki, Noh, or Bunraku, but arguably demands theatrical training that is just as rigorous.
I've been eager to see the Takarazuka Revue since I saw a play about them at Clubbed Thumb entitled "Takarazuka!" by Susan Soon He Stanton, who admitted becoming "obsessed with the lurid, surreal, and oddly compelling performances."

the "Encore" which comes after every performance
Not long into the performance at Lincoln Center's David Koch Theater, I started asking myself: Why am I seeing this "Chicago"? Just two subway stops away, the same musical has been playing nightly since 1996. The slinky black costumes in both are designed by William Ivey Long, the lighting for both is designed by Ken Billington, the scenic design for both is by John Lee Beatty, and the rest of the credits — i.e. "Recreation of Original Production Choreography by Gary Chryst' — make it clear that this is not a new interpretation; it's an exact copy. Yes, this one is in Japanese (with English supertitles.) But given the, um, creative casting of the Broadway production — which recently proclaimed itself history-making because two of its current stars,Jaime Camil and Bianca Marroquin, were born in Mexican — it doesn't seem much of a leap to envision an all-Japanese Broadway cast someday in the future.
Two things must be said:
Given that it's a copy, it's a professional one, with a cast of winning performers. Maybe the women playing the men's parts wouldn't pass for male at a truck stop, but they certainly sounded like men, and they were better impersonators than the women you generally see disguising themselves as men in Shakespeare. (Of particular note was the suave performance of Saori Mine as Billy Flynn.) But "Chicago" is a showcase for the women characters. This may have made it an odd choice to be the only export by the Takarazuka Revue to the Lincoln Center Festival, but Yoka Wao and Hikaru Asami were undeniably delicious as the sexy, amoral murderers Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart.
"Chicago" ended after about two and a half hours (which is, unsurprisingly, the same running time as the Broadway production.) But then the three leads — Mine, Wao and Asami — came out before the curtain and explained that after every musical put on by a Takarazuka troupe, they add an "Encore" spectacle. And so, out came the disco balls projecting criss-crossing bright white lights as if in a Hollywood premiere, leading to a synchronized chorus line of frilly taffeta-clothed dancing girls a la the Radio City Rockettes — the first number in a half hour's worth of eclectic razzmatazz, complete with sparkling tuxes and huge white feathers, an exercise somewhere between tacky and classy, between Busby Berkeley nostalgia and a hallucinogenic trip through some alternate universe — and itself worth the price of admission.
Takarazuka's Chicago runs on stage at Lincoln Center's David Koch Theater through Sunday, July 24. Tickets run from $35 to $110.

Gone Google!
When NC State students return to campus this fall, they will have a new university student email service and an array of collaborative tools, all bundled in Google Apps @ NC State. The Office of Information Technology completed its initial migration of student email accounts from Unity/Webmail to Google Apps @ NC State on July 16.
More than 26,000 student accounts were included in this migration, which involved only those individuals expected to be students in the fall and did not include permanent employees who were also students or those with WolfWise accounts. Since the Google Apps beta service launched in early April, more than 8,000 students had already signed up for an account and had their email migrated. There are an additional 2,600 student accounts that will be migrated beginning July 21. Those accounts belong to summer school students and new students who were not registered for the fall semester at the time of the initial Google Apps migration. Additional Google Apps accounts will be created as students become eligible.
As part of the new Google Apps services, students receive more than 7GB of storage space for their NC State email accounts, all from their university @ncsu.edu email address. In addition to Gmail, students receive Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google Sites, Google Talk and Google Wave. Many of these tools are also accessible via various mobile devices. Students who are experiencing problems with the Google Apps @ NC State migration should direct their questions to the NC State Help Desk at 515-HELP (4357) or help@ncsu.edu. They can also visit the Google Apps @ NC State Web site for more information.
The university chose to outsource student email services to improve technology services for students and reduce costs. For more information about NC State's implementation of Google Apps Education Edition, visit the Google Apps @ NC State Web site.

Oxford Board of Aldermen vote to scale back indoor gatherings
Published 11:58 am Monday, July 6, 2020
The City of Oxford took a step back in its reopening plan on Monday, but not as large of a step as initially anticipated.
During a recessed meeting, the Board of Aldermen voted to scale back the number of people allowed at indoor gatherings due to COVID-19. The number is returning back to Phase I of the City's Serving Oxford Safely Recovery Plan, with 20 people allowed in one space if social distancing is possible, 10 people if it is not.
The change does not pertain to current occupancy rates allowed inside businesses or restaurants.
This was the decision made after discussing several other potential changes to the recovery plan, including implementing stricter penalties on businesses found to not be in compliance with the City's COVID-19 orders.
Before deciding anything, Mayor Robyn Tannehill had Oxford police chief Jeff McCutchen provide an update on the number of compliance checks and citations issued since last Tuesday. This was requested by the Board last week, before they would take action on any new penalties toward businesses.
McCutchen said OPD administered 240 compliance checks since June 30, with seven citations issued. None of the citations issued went to restaurants or bars, which McCutchen said seemed to be following the orders put in place. The businesses that did have citations were due to employees not being in compliance and not customers in the stores, he said.
"The majority of that is employees," McCutchen said. "It's not so much not manning the front door and it seems to be the public is doing a pretty good job. We're running into a (problem with) businesses, where employees are not being masked up or having to follow that policy."
On July 1, Oxford's emergency management director Jimmy Allgood proposed a plan to shut down businesses for 24 to 48 hours if found to not be in compliance with the COVID-19 orders. A similar order was passed by Jackson last week, but on Monday, the Board decided to not take any further action on the issue.
One reason was due to the possible legal issues that could arise out of passing and enforcing such an order. Pope Mallette, the City's attorney, spoke on the issue and voiced his concerns.
"People are entitled, businesses are entitled, to some due process before a punishment is imposed," Mallette said. "My thinking is it's problematic, based on a citation alone, to close a business down or issue ultimately what is the defined punishment (without due process). If you had five municipal judges who could hear it that night and could shut down the next day it would be ideal. Without that ability I just think it's difficult."
The discussion then turned to amending hours that bars and restaurants could open their indoor seating and dining areas. Last month, Governor Tate Reeves issued a new executive order allowing all bars and restaurants to resume normal operating hours.
Alderman Janice Antonow proposed a motion to return to a previous order of shutting down indoor dining and seating areas at restaurants and bars at 10 p.m. Any restaurant that could provide curbside, drive-thru or delivery service could keep that open past 10 p.m.
"We know the gatherings in bars are a problem," Antonow said. "I feel like it should go back to closing at 10 p.m. I think that would help the situation greatly. Especially when the students get back.
"What I'm hearing is that a lot of the classes are going to be online. A lot of the instructors are very reluctant, given the number of young people who are contracting this COVID-19, to teach in a classroom with 50 people in it. So, the students won't have to get up at 8 0'clock in the morning to go to class so they will be in the bars (the night before)."
The vote on Antonow's motion was split 3-3 between the Board. Aldermen Kesha Howell-Atkinson and Preston Taylor voted with Antonow in favor of closing the bars down at 10 p.m., while aldermen Jason Bailey, Mark Huelse and John Morgan voted to keep them open as-is in what they said was an attempt to keep people from going to house parties and exceeding the number of people allowed at indoor gatherings. Alderman Rick Addy was not present at the meeting.
With the vote deadlocked, Tannehill became the deciding vote, and voted to keep bars and restaurants open past 10 p.m.
"I think that moving forward, we just need to be stronger in enforcement," Tannehill said after casting her vote. "Chief (McCutchen) and I will have another conversation about the bars and about ways to enforce that after 10 o'clock. My feeling is that, if they aren't open at all past 10 0'clock, then we lose people at house parties in my opinion, and I think that's a lot harder to police."
At the beginning of the meeting, Allgood gave an update on COVID-19 cases in Lafayette County. As of 6 p.m. on Sunday, Lafayette County had a total of 393 cases, with 57 of them being active as of July 5. Allgood said the Mississippi State Department of Health was beginning to provide data of active cases in each county that they will go by that data moving forward, though some of those cases are being rolled off the day they're reported or within a day or two.
Allgood also provided further case data from area urgent care clinics that are reporting directly to City Hall. As of 6 a.m. on Monday, there had been a total of 1,836 tests administered at eight of the clinics reporting. Of those, 463 tests came back as positive, with 305 of them being residents of Lafayette County and 158 of them non-residents.
Roughly one in four people who are going into clinics to get tested are testing positive, according to Allgood.

William Archer Redmond (1825–1880) sat for Wexford as a member of the Home Rule Party led by Isaac Butt from 1872 to 1880, and was the father of the Irish Parliamentary Party Leader John Redmond.

William Redmond was the son of Patrick Walter Redmond (1803–1869) Esq., J.P., D.L., of Ballytrent House, County Wexford, magistrate, High Sheriff and Deputy Lieutenant of County Wexford, by his wife, Esther Kearney of Rocklands or Rockville, County Wexford. He was the nephew of John Edward Redmond who had sat for the same seat, also as a Liberal M.P., and who is commemorated in Redmond Square in Wexford.

He was educated at Stonyhurst College and Bonn, before graduating from Trinity College Dublin. He was an ardent supporter of Irish Home Rule, and attended the Home Rule Conference of 1873 where he proposed many important resolutions. In his election address in 1872, he said,

Under the name of Home Rule, I will at once declare my conviction that Ireland possesses the indefeasible right to be governed by an Irish Parliament. That right has never been forfeited or surrendered, and I hold that the restoration of Home Rule is absolutely essential to the good government of the country, to the development of its resources, to the removal of the wasting curse of absenteeism and to the final establishment in peace and liberty of the Irish race upon Irish soil, I am convinced that ample means exist to achieve this result within the limits of the Constitution, and without infringing upon our loyalty to the throne, I differ entirely from those who would say that union amongst Irishmen is impossible, and that they do not possess sufficient public virtue to enable them to manage their own affairs

Redmond was also a temperance reformer. He seconded the resolution in favour of the re-enactment and extension of the Sunday Closing Act in Ireland, and was a constant attendant at the meetings in London of the " League of the Cross," a total abstinence organization founded by Cardinal Henry Edward Manning.

Justin McCarthy (historian and politician) wrote, 'I can well remember the elder Redmond. He was a man of the most courteous bearing, polished manners, a man, in fact, of education and extraordinary capacity, who, when he spoke in debate, spoke well and very much to the point, and he was highly esteemed by all parties in the House.'

Redmond married Mary Hoey, the daughter of General R.H. Hoey, whose brother Francis, was the heir to the Hoey seat, Dunganstown Castle, County Wicklow. He inherited Ballytrent House, near the Tuskar Rock lighthouse, where he lived with his family.

He was the father of John Redmond, leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party, and Willie Redmond. He was the grandfather of the identically named William Archer Redmond who was both an MP and a TD during his political career.

Scott Oelslager (born October 15, 1953) is a Republican politician from Ohio who currently represents the 48th District in the Ohio House of Representatives. He previously held the same seat from 2003 to 2010 and also served in the Ohio Senate from 1985 to 2002 and again from 2011 to 2018.

Life and career
A graduate of Mount Union College, Oelslager formerly worked as an aide for his predecessor, Tom Walsh. When Walsh resigned his seat, Oelslager was first appointed to replace him in 1985, and was re-elected in 1986 with 52% of the vote. Following that election, Oelslager was elected three more times.

In 2002, Oeslager faced term-limits and instead he was elected to the Ohio House of Representatives for the 51st district, and was re-elected in 2004, 2006 and 2008. Oelslager was unopposed in 2004 and 2008.  He again was term-limited out of the House in 2010.

Return to the Ohio Senate
In 2010, Oelslager decided to run for his old seat in the Ohio Senate, swapping seats with Kirk Schuring, who preceded Oelslager in the House. Oelslager defeated his opponent, Richard Reinbold, with 59% of the vote.  In his return to the Senate, Oelslager served as chairman of the Health & Human Services Committee for the 129th Ohio General Assembly.

For the 130th Ohio General Assembly, Oelslager was named chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, the committee tasked with amending the Governor's budget. He was re-elected easily in 2014, attaining 66% of the vote over Democrat Connie Rubin.

Term limited again in 2018, Oelslager again switched seats with Schuring, again winning a seat in the Ohio House of Representatives.  He was sworn in for his fifth term in the house on January 3, 2019.

Detroit Woman Assaulted After Car Crash
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy has charged Laticqua Larae Kinney, 20 (DOB: 02/04/1999), of Detroit, in connection with an assault following a car collision.
On March 26, 2019 at approximately 6:50 p.m., the female victim, a Detroit resident, was driving alone southbound on Linwood, near West Boston Avenue. It is alleged the defendant was driving her vehicle with two passengers, pulled in front of the victim and caused the collision. After the accident, the victim pulled into a gas station parking lot in the 9800 block of Linwood. Kinney stopped her vehicle on Linwood and walked over to the parking lot. A verbal argument began and escalated into a physical altercation.
During the altercation, Kinney's companions entered the fray and it is alleged they struck, beat and stomped the victim and fled the scene before Detroit Police and EMS arrived. Medics transported the victim to a local hospital for treatment of her injuries. Investigation by the Detroit Police led to the arrest of the defendant.
Kinney has been charged with Assault with Intent to Do Great Bodily Harm, Aggravated Assault and Failure to Stop at the Scene of an Accident.*
Kinney was arraigned this afternoon before 36th District Court Magistrate Laura Echartea. The Probable Cause Conference is scheduled for April 9, 2019 at 8:30 a.m.; the Preliminary Examination is scheduled for April 16, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. Both hearings are before Judge Ronald Giles in 36th District Court. The defendant received a $25,000/10% bond. Please request a photograph of the Defendant from the Detroit Police Department.
Detroit Man Charged in Apartment Building Arson
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy has charged James Bishop Craft, III, 22, (DOB: 05/23/1996), of Detroit, in connection with the arson that occurred at an apartment building in Detroit.
On March 22, 2019 at approximately 10:47 a.m., the Detroit Fire Department responded to an active fire of an occupied building in the 12200 block of Schaefer in Detroit. The Fire Department worked to extinguish the fire and remove all of the occupants from the building. A 16-year-old occupant from one of the apartments sustained significant burns to her body and medics transported her to a local hospital for treatment of her injuries. Investigation by the Detroit Police led to the apprehension of Craft.
It is alleged that Craft firebombed the apartment building. Further facts and evidence will be presented at the Preliminary Examination.
Craft has been charged with First Degree Arson.* He was arraigned on March 26, 2019 before 36th District Court Magistrate Jeffrey Kleparek. The Probable Cause Conference is scheduled for April 8, 2019 at 8:30 a.m.; the Preliminary Examination is scheduled for April 15, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. Both hearings are before Judge Ronald Giles in 36th District Court. The defendant received a $400,000 cash/surety bond. Please contact the Detroit Police Department for a photograph of the defendant.
Statement of Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy
Regarding Jose Antonio Lopez Bond
"Defendant Jose Antonio Lopez, a citizen of Mexico, was charged with one count of Possession With Intent to Deliver over 1000g of heroin and one count of Possession With Intent to Deliver over 1000g of cocaine. * It is alleged that he had 4.6 kg of heroin and 2 kg of cocaine recovered from his car in Detroit. Both counts carry up to life imprisonment, and the potential for consecutive sentencing.
At his Saturday, March 2, 2019 arraignment on the warrant, he was given a $2000.00, 10% bond by visiting weekend Judge Vesta Svenson. All weekend warrants are handled via video through the 34th District Court in Romulus for all Wayne County Jurisdictions.
"The judge had everything she needed to make a decision about bond: the fact that he was a resident of another country, investigator's report showing the nature and seriousness of the charges, his prior offenses in order to fashion an appropriate bond, and failed to do so.
What amounts to a $200 bond is completely inappropriate and irresponsible in this case.
Predictably he failed to appear at his March 12th Probable Cause Conference and is now a fugitive.
For over a year a prosecutor is assigned Monday through Friday for arraignments in 36th District Court in Detroit to argue bond motions. We have never had the resources for a weekend arraignment prosecutor, but I will be asking for this in our next budget. However, in this case, a prosecutor was not needed because in this case the fact that a high bond was needed was a no brainer."

The Pink Ribbon Race is ten hilly and soft kilometers on the green island of Lidingö. Together with all other participants, you create a true festival. You run to have a lot of fun, and at the same time you contribute to the important fight against cancer.
The Pink Ribbon Race wants to inspire to physical activity and to spread knowledge about how the risk for cancer can be decreased by a healthy way of living. The race is the official start of the yearly Pink Ribbon campaign by Swedish organisation Cancerfonden. In 2017, a total amount of SEK 532,000 kronor was collected to The Swedish Cancer Society and Swedish cancer research through the TCS Lidingöloppet Weekend.
When entering Pink Place, you contribute not only to your own health, but also to financing cancer research as the entire entry fee goes to The Swedish Cancer Society.
As a father, husband, son or friend, you can also show your support by running the race. In the mixed group, half the entry fee goes to The Swedish Cancer Society. Your committment and contribution matters.
Run the Pink Ribbon Race with us!
The Pink Ribbon Race is a part of A Swedish Classic – Women and A Swedish Classic – Short.
The course coincides with the last 10 km of TCS Lidingöloppet 30. You will experience beautiful scenery, hilly terrain and soft tracks.


Perhaps not since Roman centurion John Wayne ambled up to Jesus on the cross in The Greatest Story Ever Told has an American actor looked so uncomfortably out of place as Matt Damon in The Great Wall.
Set in 11th century China, the film posits that an army of warriors has been tasked with protecting the nation – indeed, the world – against the monsters that periodically rise up and destroy everything in their path. As in Little Shop of Horrors, these so-called Taoties are mean green mothers from outer space, and as in Jeepers Creepers, they only awaken from their slumber at set intervals to wreak havoc. The Chinese forces are comprised of nothing but brave warriors and smart generals, but even they're helpless against these marauding monsters. But wait! Just when everything seems hopeless, along comes Matt Damon to save the day!
Hold on, you interject. An American in 11th century China? But of course, my sluggish friend! After all, The Great Wall is a co-production between the U.S. and China, and while it's all well and good that it's based on Chinese history and on Chinese legend (e.g. the Taoties), that just ain't gonna sell in Butte, Montana, Biloxi, Mississippi or Bumfuck, Maryland. So enter a Yankee doodle dandy in the form of Matt Damon, cast as a mercenary who ends up helping the Chinese help themselves. Now, I imagine Damon isn't supposed to be playing an American, but with that pronounced Boston accent, it's impossible to accept him as anything but. Damon is one of those actors too stubbornly modern to convince in any period before the 20th century, and in The Great Wall, he seems as organic to the era as would a MacBook Pro.
Beyond the grotesque miscasting of Damon, The Great Wall proves to be a spectacularly stupid movie, and it's a shame to see the great Yimou Zhang attached to such shameless hucksterism. After all, the director's 1991 Raise the Red Lantern remains one of the great foreign-language imports of the past few decades, and other stellar credits include Ju Dou, Hero and To Live. This new feature might as well be called To Sell Out: It boasts little of the lyricism of his past efforts, and the visual effects employed to bring the creatures to life are embarrassingly gaudy and unconvincing. The movie may already be a box office hit overseas, but all in all, it's just another brick in the wall of cinematic stinkers.

Q: String difference windows and linux Would someone convert /state how to represent the string (path) below from Linux to windows
"C:/Users /xxxx/Desktop/song.mp3"
It's a string sent from my Android app to a winform,  for some reasons winform c# dosent recognize that string as path to a file.
Error I get in winform if "invalid character in the path"

A: Here is a link to a discussion of the difference between windows vs linux file systems:
howtogeek 6 ways the linux file system is different from the windows file system
So your path would be
C:\Users\xxxx\Desktop\song.mp3
