#WorldBollywoodDay
Have we missed something?
Since films from India entered onto the scene, the entertainment industry has never been the same. The popularity of Bollywood has grown significantly over the past few years and has created an entire subculture that has taken the world by storm. Now it's time to learn about and celebrate World Bollywood Day!
History of World Bollywood Day
When the Indian film industry began in the early 1900s, it started out in the same way as Hollywood – with silent films. But when talking films began in the form of Bombay Talkies, the industry began to grow in the 1930s. It was different than films from the West in that the driving force behind the films were simply the stars rather than the actual plot or story.
By the 1970s, the film industry in India was able to overtake the US Hollywood industry, thus earning the nickname Bollywood, which is a combination of the two words Bombay and Hollywood. Unlike Hollywood, which is the name of an actual city and location where many films are made, Bollywood indicates more of the idea of the industry.
When the name of the city of Bombay changed to Mumbai in 1995, the nickname Bollywood simply continued in use. As Bollywood grew into the 21st century, this Indian movie industry was continuing to create massive numbers of pieces each year, around 1000 annually.
Bollywood entertainment has become particularly known for its long dance sequences and singing numbers. In fact, it is well-known and accepted that most of the actors do not do their own voice work for the songs, but they lip-sync to songs that are sung by others. This has been changing recently as a few actors have been revealed as capable singers, but lip-syncing is still widely accepted.
Watched worldwide by an audience of 3 billion, the Bollywood film industry seems like it is here to stay. And the perfect way to get involved with the trend is to get ready to celebrate World Bollywood Day!
How to Celebrate World Bollywood Day
Get involved with World Bollywood Day by honoring the day and celebrating in a variety of ways, including some of these ideas:
Watch a Favorite Bollywood Movie (or Several!)
What could be a better way to celebrate World Bollywood Day than by watching some Bollywood films, whether it's just a couple of them or in the form of a marathon that lasts all day long! The great thing about Bollywood movies is that there are so many of them, and Bollywood accounts for so much of the global film space, that they seem to offer an almost endless supply of options for watching on this day or any day.
A word of warning, you get your money's worth because these films are notoriously long and typically each film will take two or more hours. So keep that in mind when planning out the timing of the movie marathon!
Here are just a few of the most famous Bollywood movies that might be fun to get started with, or to watch again for avid fans:
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995). This modern classic film sets the gold standard for Bollywood romantic comedies. Two young people, played by Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, fall in love while backpacking across Europe.
Pyaasa (1957). An ultimately classic film from the early days of the Indian industry, Pyaasa tells the story of an unsuccessful poet who is presumed to be dead due to a series of unfortunate events.
Veer-Zaara (2004). A modern take on a period love story that lasts for 22 years, this film is filled with drama, when an Indian Air Force officer falls in love with the daughter of a Pakistani politician.
The Lunchbox (2013). This film tells the touching story of a woman who tries to rekindle the spark in her marriage, but some mishaps bring her into a new friendship with another person instead.
Learn Some Bollywood Dance Moves
The dances and songs that are used in Bollywood films offer a fun way to get exercise and learn an exciting new dance skill. In fact, the style has become so popular that many dance schools are now teaching this as a blend of belly dancing, Indian folk dances, modern jazz, Western pop dances. It's a beautiful style that offers fun and entertainment just on your own or when celebrating at parties or weddings.
Get to Know About Some Bollywood Stars
Since the stars are so crucial for the films made in India, even more than the plot, it's vital to get to know the actors who play in the movies. In celebration of World Bollywood Day, get to know a bit more about each of these stars who are beloved in this film world:
Sah Ruh Khan. Considered to be the "King of Bollywood", or "King Khan", this actor earned his title by playing superior roles in a variety of romantic Indian films. He began his acting career in the 1980s in television and he also owns a cricket team! Khan's huge fan following is not only throughout India as well as all over the globe.
Deepika Padukone. This young woman is an Indian who was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, but she was raised in Bangalore. Padukone has earned several awards including three Filmfare awards and she was named one of the nation's most popular personalities.
Salman Khan. Born Abdul Rashid Salim Salman Kahn, this Bollywood actor is also a producer, television personality, and even a singer. He is known by his friends and fans as "Sallu Bhai" or "Bhaijaan". He is also a philanthropist who has his own social charity and non-profit organization called "Being Human". Khan also has a wide fan base in Asia.
Kriti Sanon. Starting her career as an actress in a psychological thriller in 2014, Sanon has received a Filmfare award as a debut actress in an action comedy romantic film. She also has her own line of clothing which she launched recently, and she has appeared in Forbes' India Celebrity 100 list in 2019.

Villas - The president swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. So have the vice president, members of Congress, and various public officials. If we're going to hold President Trump accountable, we must also hold others accountable of both parties. In Congress right now, as well as the top honchos of the FBI and DOJ, there are people who swore the same oath and have been working day and night to undermine the spirit and letter of this founding document. They have perjured themselves over and over, and yet everyone is piling on the "blame Trump" bandwagon.

Musings on the Maine Constitution's Bicentennial, Coronavirus Edition
COVID-19, Law Court, Maine Constitution
The coronavirus shut-down has been anything but a slow-down for this attorney-blogger, but it hasn't entirely prevented me from continuing to muse about the Maine Constitution during its now-cancelled bicentennial celebration. So I thought I would give the Constitution a little more of the attention it is due, despite the coronavirus. (A welcome respite to think about something else, no?)
When I last blogged about the Maine Constitution, just before its 200th birthday, I asked whether it still matters. The Law Court seems to think the answer is "yes": under its primacy doctrine, the Law Court has said the state constitution should be given force and meaning independent of the U.S. Constitution. The Law Court has also offered a few reasons for this primacy doctrine, and they are worth pondering.
The Law Court offered one reason in State v. Larrivee, where it observed that the Maine Constitution is the "primary protector of the fundamental liberties of Maine
COVID-19 and Appellate Practice: A Maine Update
COVID-19, Law Court, Maine
I recently wrote about the orders affecting appellate practice during the COVID-19 pandemic, noting the importance of staying up to date with current developments. While those developments continue at a relentless pace, there was one I thought it particularly helpful to highlight here. The Maine Supreme Court recently issued a consolidated Pandemic Management Order. That order addresses the 49-day extension to appellate deadlines, and makes it clear that the deadline for filing notices of appeal are no longer extended. It also specifically addresses the deadlines applicable to appeals that ripened between March 17 (the date of the Court's prior order) and March 30 (the date of the consolidated Pandemic Management Order). For appeals that ripened during that timeframe, the appeal period began to run as of the date of the consolidated Pandemic Management order. This is an important clarification for appellate practitioners.
COVID-19 and Appellate Practice
COVID-19, First Circuit, Law Court, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, US Supreme Court
Holed up here in my home office like many of you, I thought it would be a helpful time to take stock of the current state of affairs in the courts of appeal during this pandemic. As with most of life, COVID-19 has disrupted normal operations, leaving all of us in a state of uncertainty. But here is where things currently stand:
In the Supreme Court, the March oral argument session has been cancelled – a highly unusual step, but one that happened previously with the Spanish flu in 1918. The Supreme Court has also issued a standing order extending some deadlines, including the deadline for filing a petition for cert.
The First Circuit, meanwhile, has posted a notice stating that the April 6-9 sitting has been cancelled. No blanket order has yet issued extending deadlines, however. That may change. [UPDATE: The First Circuit has extended deadlines for many filings due
The Maine Constitution Turns 200! Does It Still Matter?
Law Court, Maine, Maine Constitution
On March 15, 2020, Maine turns 200 years old. For any Mainer, especially history buffs, the bicentennial is an occasion worth celebrating. For any legal beagle, the bicentennial is worth celebrating for an additional reason: Maine's Constitution is also celebrating its 200th birthday.
The Maine Constitution was adopted at convention on October 29, 1819, approved by the people on December 6, 1819, and became effective on the same date Maine became a state. The Maine Constitution has proven to be one of the nation's most durable state charters. By my research, only three operative state constitutions are older: those of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont. But does the Maine Constitution still matter?
A recent Law Court decision highlights this question. In State of Maine v. Weddle, the Law Court was presented with an interesting search-and-seizure question relating to a Maine statute authorizing law enforcement officers to test the blood of all drivers involved in a fatal, or likely fatal,
E-Filing is Coming, E-Filing is Coming!
Law Court, Maine
Spreading the news that e-filing is coming might not have quite the same importance as the message delivered by Paul Revere and his fellow riders in 1775 – but e-filing is still worth noting. I attended the Maine State Bar Association winter meeting in January, which gave Maine practitioners a sneak preview of the state courts' new e-filing system, File & Serve. It was an interesting and informative session.
The tentative plan, as attendees were informed, is to begin the process of rolling out e-filing at the end of this year. As many already know, e-filing is likely to be introduced first for Penobscot and Piscataquis Counties. But, of importance for appellate practitioners, it sounds like the court is also considering including not only the Business Court but also the Law Court in the initial implementation.
We are still waiting to see all of the rules surrounding e-filing, but the system that was previewed at the winter meeting appears to be user-friendly and promises
Same Blog, New Author
As loyal readers of this blog already know, Cathy Connors – the former author of this blog and my former colleague here at Pierce Atwood – has moved on to bigger and better things: an appointment to Maine's Supreme Judicial Court. My hat is off to her for this well-deserved achievement. Her formidable intellect will be a credit to the bench (and her sharp questions doubtless a scourge to any lawyer who is less than fully prepared!). All of us here at Pierce Atwood will of course miss her inimitable talents and presence.
So what does this mean for you, who have benefitted over the years from this blog? Happily, you should expect Maine Appeals to continue, with posts addressing issues of appellate law and practice in Maine and the First Circuit. But there will be a new voice (and likely more than one, as Cathy leaves big shoes to fill).
So allow me to introduce your new blogger: I'm Josh Dunlap, a partner

Nothing compares to getting in a warm bed.
We got ourselves a Pure Pleasure Electric Blanket (fitted under-blankets).
What's cool about the under-blankets is that it has dual heat-switches for each side, each working independently. Meaning if you can choose how warm you want your bed to be, while your partner can also choose for himself / herself their preference. It is also made of a washable non-allergenic polyester fabric.
The blanket is fitted under the bed sheet and it also double up as a protective cover for the mattress.
There are 3 heat settings to choose from : 1, 2 and Preheat (the warmest).
I normally leave it on Preheat settings before I run my bath. Of course, I put the duvet blanket over the bed to keep the warmth in. After around 30-45 minutes, the bed is ready... 'Ngam ngam ho' after finishing my bath!
Price : With this brand, it is economical, costing less than a 60 watt light bulb to run.
Safety : It has a safeguard protection against overheating.
Overall, I am very happy with the product. Not sure how the brand compared to others as this is only my first electric blanket.


Much of UPA-2 has been dominated by not so-covert wrangling over economic policy between the two major factions of the Congress party.
Party president Sonia Gandhi has continued to push welfare schemes, usually managing to prevail over PM Manmohan Singh's requests for reforms in line with the liberalisation initiatives that gave him his reputation.
The party's chintan shivir is now expected to include discussion of a third economic path - one that will be anchored to General Secretary Rahul Gandhi.
Sources suggest that this will take the middle ground between the two factions, by focusing on inclusive growth that doesn't depend on government handouts to drive it.
If the ambitious MNREGA represented the high point of Ms Gandhi's strategy and FDI in retail offers up an example of Dr Singh's focus, the 'Rahulnomics' vision is likely to put forward a way for government to channel business capital to those who might earlier have expected to be on the dole.
This means an effort to boost entrepreneurship and skill development that would better leverage the much-touted 'demographic dividend,' rather than an employment scheme that focuses only on the short-term.
Such a policy outlook wouldn't be entirely voluntary; the profligacy of the last eight years, coupled with a weakened economy, has led to a situation where the government doesn't have the funds to splash out on expansive welfare schemes.
Attaching the new vision to Mr Gandhi, meanwhile, offers a palatable way for the party to sell its plan to members in either of the camps.
For this 'New Deal' to be more than just political and economic expediency, however, stakeholders across the system will have to be coaxed into understanding that neither public spending nor big business alone can cure all the ills of the system - a hard task, even for an heir apparent.
In war, the operational art employed by a general makes the difference between victory and defeat. And this art is all about strategy and tactics.
These are the two issues that we need to keep in mind when we deal with Pakistan. One is the issue of tactics along the dangerous Line of Control.
Following Army chief General Bikram Singh's instructions, the Indian Army needs to maintain an aggressive posture there to preempt any Pakistani adventurism.
The second is that of strategy which requires that we do not cross any red lines that could lead to the collapse of the ceasefire that has been broadly holding on the LoC since November 2003.
This ceasefire has prevented the loss of life in the areas adjacent to the LoC and also helped in checking cross-border infiltration.
Hopefully, the National Security Advisor Shiv Shankar Menon briefing leaders of the BJP will help India build national consensus on this strategy.
The balanced approach of General Singh needs to be adopted at the diplomatic and political level in our dealings with Islamabad.
Of course, the big problem is in determining who we ought to deal with there, a problem compounded on Tuesday by the arrest warrant issued by the Pakistan Supreme Court for the serving Prime Minister of the country.
Try as the Union government might there is no separating sports and politics as far as India and Pakistan are concerned.
The escalation of tension along the Line of Control has already claimed a scalp on the playing field: Pakistani players contracted to play for different franchises under the lucrative Hockey India League (HIL) are returning home just as the tournament got under way.
Shiv Sena members had on Sunday protested against their participation in the league. Reports also say the Board of Control for Cricket in India is mulling shifting the matches of the Women's World Cup involving the Pakistani team from Mumbai to Ahmedabad.
While it is possible that the Pakistani cricketers do eventually take to the field, it needs to be asked if sporting exchanges make sense in an atmosphere where one incident is enough to push relations between the two neighbours to the brink.
Sport may be a means of building bridges between nations but given the public mood against Pakistan, it is difficult to see how sporting ties can be maintained over the long term without our neighbour addressing India's genuine concerns.


Momentous decisions, such as the Supreme Court upholding President Trump's ban on transgender people serving in the military, are a reminder that discrimination, racism, and fear-mongering are with us in the present moment and need to be battled in word and deed.
One way to do that is to change the system. Urban Arts Leadership (UAL) was established at GBCA to forward the careers of arts administrators of color, and address the lack of historically underrepresented populations in the area's cultural workforce. UAL Fellows undertake five months of training followed by a six-month placement with a cultural organization. There, the Fellows manage exciting leadership projects, expand their networks, and make significant contributions as part of the organization's leadership team.
It works. UAL alumni have gone on to full-time positions with the Maryland State Arts Council, Impact Hub, GBCA, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and many more important organizations.
In that vein, it is also important to stand up for the arts! Don't miss the chance to meet your elected representatives in Annapolis on February 14, Maryland Arts Day. Led by Maryland Citizens for the Arts, this is your opportunity to join 600 other spirited supporters to affirm the importance for arts and culture to our economy, our communities, and our schools. Sign up now, Valentine's Day is just around the corner!
If you are looking for something to do this weekend you won't want to miss the most amazing group of artists you'll ever see in "An Afternoon of Artistic Excellence." This incredible FREE showcase of Baker Award winners will take place at 2PM on Saturday, January 26 at The Walters Art Museum. The event is produced by Contemporary Arts with the support of the William G. Baker, Jr. Memorial Fund in partnership with GBCA.

I shipped an older model desktop computer to my sister in NY. Upon arrival, there were some problems that needed addressing. I found John online and he had some good reviews. I called him and he went to my sister's house THAT day and took care of the problem. I appreciate his honesty and integrity as I am in Orlando, FL! Thanks John and when we get all the problems resolved, I'll be back to write another review. I would give you five stars, but we're still working on other problems to be resolved!

The Chanda Yakshi graces this gorgeous new cover for Upinder Singh's indispensable book, written as much for the general reader interested in India's antiquity and its pioneering archaeologists, as for students of the history of archaeology, colonialism, and constructions of the past. It breaks colonial archaeology down into its specific constituents and examines the ideas, impulses, tensions, and individual contributions that comprised early studies of India's ancient past.
It focuses, at the outset, on the ideas and work of Alexander Cunningham, the first Director General of the Archaeological Survey of India, as well as his assistants. It then looks at a number of related issues — the different definitions of archaeological research; the conflict between field archaeologists and architectural scholars; the debate over whether antiquities should be left in situ or removed to museums; the different approaches and initiatives towards the conservation of historical monuments.
Finally, it looks at the contributions of Indian scholars to archaeology, and of the Indian princes to the conservation of historical monuments.
In this book, two leading historians of early modern South Asia present nine jointly authored essays on the Mughal empire, framed by a long Introduction which reflects on the imperial, nationalist, and other conflicted trajectories of history-writing on the Mughals. Using materials from a large variety of languages—including Dutch, Portuguese, English, Persian, Urdu, and Tamil—they show how this Indo-Islamic dynasty developed a sophisticated system of government and facilitated an era of profound artistic and architectural achievement, setting the groundwork for South Asia's future trajectory.
In several ways the joint work of Alam and Subrahmanyam, best represented here, provides the most significant innovation, expansion, and rethinking about the Mughal imperium for many decades. The present book intertwines political, cultural, and commercial themes while exploring diplomacy, state-formation, historiography, religious debate, and political thought. It focuses on confrontations between a variety of source materials that are then reconciled by the authors, enabling readers to participate both in the debate and the resolution of competing claims.
Interdisciplinary and cutting-edge, this work adds rich dimensions to research on the Mughal state, early modern South Asia, and the comparative history of the Mughal, Ottoman, Safavid, and other early modern empires.
MUZAFFAR ALAM is George V. Bobrinskoy Professor in South Asian Languages and Civilizations at the University of Chicago. He is the author of The Crisis of Empire in Mughal North India and The Languages of Political Islam in India: c. 1200–1800.
SANJAY SUBRAHMANYAM is professor and holder of the Navin and Pratima Doshi Chair of Indian History at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is the author of several books, including The Career and Legend of Vasco da Gama and the two-volume Explorations in Connected History.
Alam and Subrahmanyam have jointly edited The Mughal State 1526–1750 and coauthored Indo-Persian Travels in the Age of Discoveries, 1400–1800.


If you are attempting to purchase a house for the first time in your life, the joy will naturally be difficult and challenging on your part. Not only do you require the necessary knowledge about real estate transactions, you also need to have the patience to do all the negotiating and needed arrangements. To conserve you from all the headache, the finest thing to do is employ a real estate agent in Del Mar. With this, you will be able to get through transaction without having so much tension plus you can be sure that the end of things will be in your favor.
One thing you will like about having a real estate agent in Del Mar is that the conditions will not be as imprecise to you anymore. The agent will see to it that all the stipulations in the contract or the conditions presented by the buyer are clear to you. If there is something that you want to understand or explained with, you only have to ask the agent. This is important for you to feel confident about putting the money that you have worked for in something really sure and worthwhile.
Also, with a real estate agent in Del Mar, you will be able to recognize both the benefits and the odds of the property that you are interested with. As he has the necessary training and background on the field, an agent is also able to foresee developments and changes that could transpire in the future. When considering a house, he will also be able to tell you what's good and bad about the property and help you to weigh them.
An additional good thing about having a real estate agent in Del Mar is that he can carry in great deals, discounts and bonuses into the transaction that you are trying to close. He will also present you with alternate choices and good packages for you to really get your money's worth.


This colourful, fresh and healthy salad is perfect for lunch or a delicious light dinner.
In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, sauté pancetta or bacon until crispy, then remove to drain. Remove all but 1 tbsp of bacon fat from pan.
In same pan, sauté onion for 4 minutes to soften (not brown), then add pumpkin. Add garlic, sage, wine, vinegar and water and cook for about 6 minutes, until squash is tender. Taste and season.
Spoon warm pumpkin over spinach greens, on a plate or platter and dollop ricotta on top. Drizzle with olive oil and finish with a little sprinkling of salt & pepper. Serve immediately.
Sounds delicious, though I might substitute something else for the pancetta or just leave it out altogether.

Der Pimpf () was the Nazi magazine for boys, particularly those in the Deutsches Jungvolk, with adventure and propaganda.  It first appeared in 1935 as Morgen, changing its name to Der Pimpf in 1937; its publication ceased in July, 1944.

It included adventures of troops of Hitler Youth.  Its last issue urged the boys to model themselves on the SS, and spoke of the SS Division "Hitler Jugend".

The female counterpart, Das deutsche Mädel, lacked this emphasis on adventure.

Origin of name
The word Pimpf is slang for any member of the German Youth Movement, but later especially of the Deutsches Jungvolk, the youngest tier of the Hitler Youth.  Its meaning in Upper German is "boy", "little rascal", "scamp", or "rapscallion", originally "little fart".

YK Osiris Arrested After Allegedly Assaulting Girlfriend, Denied Bond
posted by Peyton Blakemore - Nov 6, 2019
YK Osiris is currently behind bars.
The "Worth It" singer, whose real name is Osiris Williams, was arrested in Atlanta on Monday (November 4) on a felony charge of aggravated assault by strangulation, TMZ reports.
According to the police report, YK Osiris' girlfriend told cops back in September that she got into a physical altercation with the 21-year-old singer at his birthday party, which ended with him choking her and biting her face.
The woman claims "she confronted Osiris after seeing an image on his phone of another woman wearing nothing but a towel." Things reportedly escalated with the two yelling at one another and Osiris threatening her, saying, "I am going to slap the sh*t out of you." She told cops he then "chased her up a set of stairs into a bathroom and that's when he choked her and bit her face," TMZ reports. The woman added that "she bit his lip to get him off her, and the fight was eventually broken up."
The police report also stated that the woman "had a noticeable mark under her left eye, where she claims she was bitten."
Following Osiris' arrest, he was denied bond. The "Ride" singer will reportedly have a preliminary hearing later this month at the Fulton County Courthouse.

Ceci est une liste des résultats des élections fédérales canadiennes depuis 1867.

Pour plus de détails incluant les résultats par province et les résultats des partis et candidats n'ayant remporté aucun siège, veuillez consulter les articles traitant des élections individuelles.

Liste des élections
Les résultats des troisième, quatrième et cinquièmes partis sont inclus dans « Autres » si le parti n'a pas gagné au moins 4 sièges à une élection dans son histoire. Les résultats des partis arrivés sixième et plus (comme lors de l'élection de 1926) sont aussi inclus dans « Autres », tout comme les députés indépendants.

Premiers pas (1867-1891)
Dans les années qui suivent la Confédération, le Parti conservateur et son chef John A. Macdonald dominent la vie politique. Les libéraux ne sont alors pas un parti politique vraiment structuré, mais plutôt une somme d'intérêts opposés au gouvernement de la Confédération, tels que des intérêts financiers ou, au Québec, l'Église catholique.

Débats à propos de la politique étrangère (1896-1917)
Wilfrid Laurier fait du Parti libéral un véritable parti organisé, au même titre que les conservateurs, et remporte quatre majorités successives. Cette période est caractérisée par l'ascendance de Laurier sur le parti libéral, qui ne passera les rênes du parti à son successeur qu'en 1919.

Le Canada se retrouve maintes fois divisé en deux camps : d'un côté, les anglophones prônent un soutien actif du Canada au Royaume-Uni alors que de l'autre les Canadiens français réclament un plus grand isolationnisme du pays dans la conduite de ses affaires extérieures. Ce clivage est exacerbé lors de la guerre des Boers de 1899 et, de façon beaucoup plus virulente à l'approche de la Première Guerre mondiale. En 1911, le gouvernement Laurier chute lorsque sa proposition de construire une marine de guerre pour appuyer le Royaume-Uni dans sa course aux armements avec l'Allemagne est considérée comme faible par les Canadiens anglais mais trop pour les Canadiens-français. Le débat autour de la participation du Canada à la Première Guerre mondiale a des conséquences plus douloureuses encore : la conscription est finalement imposée en 1917, après d'amères élections qui voient s'opposer le gouvernement d'union nationale de Borden, qui est favorable, à Laurier et les libéraux qui lui sont restés fidèles, opposés à la conscription et représentant principalement le Québec.

Affirmation du Canada à l'international (1921-1962)
Cette période est marquée par le leadership du premier ministre William Lyon Mackenzie King, dont le Parti libéral occupe le pouvoir pendant 31 années, contre 11 pour les conservateurs.

Le Canada obtient son siège à la Société des Nations en 1921 et se fait une place importante dans les relations internationales. La Grande Dépression provoque la chute du gouvernement Mackenzie King. Il revient au pouvoir en 1935, juste avant que le Canada ne s'engage dans la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Mackenzie King démissionne en 1948 et son successeur, Louis St-Laurent, affirme la position du Canada sur la scène internationale.

Débats constitutionnels (1963-1988)
Après Lester B. Pearson et l'adoption du drapeau unifolié en 1965, cette période est marquée par les figures de Pierre Elliott Trudeau et de Brian Mulroney, deux Québécois, et un débat constitutionnel qui donne lieu au référendum sur la souveraineté-association du Québec en 1980, au rapatriement de la Constitution en 1982 et les échecs des Lac Meech et de Charlottetown.

Parallèlement, le Canada débat de son adhésion à l'ALÉNA et la droite canadienne prend un tournant libertarien avec la montée en puissance du Parti réformiste.

Reconfiguration de la carte politique (1993-2016)
L'élection de 1993 est un tremblement de terre politique : les conservateurs, majoritaires aux élections précédentes, remportent seulement deux députés et le NPD passe sous la barre des 10 sièges alors que deux nouveaux partis, le Parti réformiste et le Bloc québécois, sont les principaux partis d'opposition aux libéraux, qui remportent trois majorités consécutives.

Le débat politique est dominé par la lutte contre le déficit du gouvernement fédéral et le référendum sur la souveraineté du Québec de 1995, perdu de peu par le camp séparatiste. La réunification des partis de droite en 2003, sous la bannière du nouveau parti conservateur, lui permet de revenir au pouvoir sous la direction de Stephen Harper, d'abord avec une minorité puis une majorité en 2011. Lors de cette dernière élection, le NPD dirigé par Jack Layton réussit à devenir l'opposition officielle, alors que les libéraux réalisent la pire performance de leur histoire.

Home Culture Pop Culture The Marvellous Mrs Maisel: Women Can Be Funny Too
The Marvellous Mrs Maisel: Women Can Be Funny Too
Tanika Godbole
It was quite by accident that I discovered The Marvellous Mrs Maisel – this period comedy/drama from 1950s USA, on Amazon Prime. It's about Miriam 'Midge' Maisel, who is the ideal Jewish wife in every way. She has had the same body measurements since college. She follows an excruciating beauty regime every night without her husband finding out about it. She supports his plagiarised stand-up comedy routine. In every way, she is, just like her briskets, perfect.
We are introduced to Midge at her wedding, where she gives a charming and funny speech. Her life turns her into a homemaker and a mother of two. Since she is from a privileged background, she has great support from her nanny as well as parents. All this is snatched away from her when her husband Joel leaves her one night, for his secretary.
Women are taught to make their lives revolve around the men in their lives. Keeping in mind that the show is set in the 50s, the situation is even worse. Many women, just like Midge, never have to face the question "what am I going to do?"
Within hours of being left by Joel, she gets drunk, becomes an instant hit as a stand-up comedian at the almost poetically named Gaslight Café and is promptly arrested by the police for using profanities and flashing her breasts. Her spontaneous and hilarious rant is taken as stand-up comedy because of her natural wit and the audience breaks into thunderous applause as the police drag her away.
While supporting her husband's stand-up ventures, she has turned it into a study of jokes and laughs, which she notes down in a pink notebook. Little did she know that she would be the one actively using it.
Mrs Maisel's humour is something of an enigma even to herself.
Suzie, who works at the Gaslight, sees this and decides to become her manager. She wants to hone the raw spontaneity of this performer. Suzie comes from a wildly different world. She lives in a minuscule house, is physically different from Midge's classic good looks and has no patience for social niceties and etiquette.
The only thing they have in common is sarcasm and an appreciation of humour. That and the fact that they are both open enough to accept the other's differences. Suzie learns that she cannot be all-business if she wants to be a 'personal manager'. Midge learns to accept the realities of life and to come out of her privilege bubble.
Midge's stand-up may be funny, but the interactions and conversations in the show are even funnier. Her parents have their own breakdowns when they learn that her marriage is over. Her mother seeks solace with a psychic, whereas her father loses himself in Maths, of which he is a professor.
When she decides to work at the make-up counter of a mall, her mother is appalled at having a working daughter. Her father in his own way tries to warn her about how she will have to go to work even when it rains. "I told you to pick a practical major, Russian literature is not a practical major," he tells her off.

Her relations with her brother, sister-in-law, the married couple that she and Joel were friends with, her in-laws, are all brought out in a realistic but humorous way. All of the characters are independently developed and make the series more colourful in their own way.
A clever tactic of The Marvellous Mrs Maisel is that it shows Midge is far from perfect. She's only ever been a daughter, student, wife and mother. She doesn't know what being bad at something is like. After Joel leaves, she struggles with her personal and professional setbacks.
She fails at stand-up occasionally and tries to blame the audience for being non-receptive. As an upper-class woman who has never had to work, she often needs to be shown that others do not have all these privileges. Throughout the show, she conveniently forgets about her children and dumps her mother with childcare duties whenever the nanny doesn't show up. "Maybe I wasn't supposed to be a mother", she laments in one her performances.
There are many wonderful moments in the show. When Joel asks Midge to take him back, she defiantly says no. When he asks why, she simply says, "because you left". This clarity of thought in a woman from the 50s is inspirational for modern women too.
Through her comedy, Midge breaks all the taboos that she was bound by.
Midge pushes Suzie to open up to her, as the two bond over burgers and fries. At a stand-up show of another comedian, Midge is diligently taking notes about his timing and pauses when he suspects her of copying his act for another male comedian. "What makes you sure it's for a male comedian, and not for myself?" she asks him furiously.
Mrs Maisel's humour is something of an enigma even to herself. Her most successful performances are when she is under the influence and has something to rant over. "Spontaneity works until it doesn't," says Suzie.
Through her comedy, she breaks all the taboos that she was bound by: she mocks her husband's mistress, talks about sex, questions motherhood and does not hold back graphic language. Most of the conversations keep the tempo up with subtle and outright jokes. In their own different way, everyone is funny.
One thing missing from The Marvellous Mrs Maisel is the presence of non-white characters. Nevertheless, it has many positive things about it. Multiple well-developed female characters, crisp dialogue, calling out subtle sexism, etc. There are many little lessons to be learnt from this show. The most important one being: women are f***ing hilarious.

Businesses and brands often aim to stay neutral on major issues out of fear of alienating some of their customers. More and more, though, we're seeing companies stepping up and being vocal on certain issues — and in a number of instances, actually putting their money where their mouth is.
Take Patagonia, for instance, which brands itself not only as an outdoor clothing company but also as "the activist company." Over the years, Patagonia has been a vocal advocate for environmental causes, committed a percentage of their profits to environmental groups, and encouraged people to vote with the best interests of our planet in mind.
Following through on that commitment to vote, however, isn't always easy. According to 2014 research, 35% of eligible U.S. voters couldn't vote on Election Day that year because of work or school conflicts.
Patagonia's not the only outdoor company living its values. For the past three years, REI has chosen to opt out of the crazed consumerism of Black Friday and instead encourage both its staff and its customers to live out REI's true mission: enjoy the great outdoors. The brand closes all 150+ of its stores on Black Friday (and doesn't even process any online sales!), encouraging staff to #OptOutside with their family and friends. In the process, hundreds of other organizations have followed REI's example and joined the #OptOutside movement, perhaps establishing a new American tradition.
At a time when authenticity is more important than ever for businesses, these outdoor brands are leading by example and reminding other organizations that it's okay to take a stand.

U.S. Supreme Court Issues Ruling on Title VII Protections for Sexual Orientation and Transgender Status
On Monday, June 15, 2020, the Supreme Court of the United States issued a landmark decision, Bostock v. Clayton County. In this 6-3 opinion, the Supreme Court held that the protections under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act (Title VII) extend to sexual orientation and transgender status.1
Title VII prohibits covered employers from discriminating against individuals on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The parties conceded that "sex" as a protected characteristic "in 1964 referred to the biological distinctions between male and female."2 The Bostock decision conclusively establishes that "sex" includes sexual orientation and transgender status. Covered employers must take prompt action to determine their compliance obligations and status as a result of this decision.
The Landmark Case: Bostock v. Clayton County
In Bostock, the Supreme Court held that a covered employer who intentionally discriminates against a person on the basis of sexual orientation or transgender status violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
Background. In this decision, the Supreme Court addressed three consolidated cases. Two cases addressed rights of homosexual individuals and one case addressed transgender rights. In the title case, Gerald Bostock had been fired for "conduct 'unbecoming' a county employee" soon after joining a gay recreational softball league, despite ten years of award-winning work for the County.3 In the second case, Donald Zarda was fired from his position as a skydiving instructor at Altitude Express within days of mentioning that he was gay.4 Finally, in the third case, Aimee Stephens was fired after informing her employer that she intended to transition from male to female.5 The Supreme Court granted certiorari to resolve these conflicting decisions out of the Second, Sixth, and Eleventh Circuit Courts of Appeals.
The Court's Holding. The main issue underlying each of these cases is the scope of Title VII, more specifically, the interpretation of "sex" as a protected characteristic and its extent, whether narrow or broad. According to the ruling, "sex" covers sexual orientation and transgender status; thus, "[an] employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender violates Title VII."6
The Court's Analysis. As author to the Court's opinion, Justice Neil Gorsuch asserted that "homosexuality and transgender status are inextricably bound up with sex. Not because homosexuality or transgender status are related to sex in some vague sense or because discrimination on these bases has some disparate impact on one sex or another, but because to discriminate on these grounds requires an employer to intentionally treat individual employees differently because of their sex."7
For example, a Title VII violation arises when a covered employer discriminates against a woman for being a lesbian because it penalizes her for being attracted to women, where the employer accepts the same conduct from a man. Likewise, an employer "unavoidably discriminate[s]" against a person if it penalizes an employee for identifying with a one sex at birth and a different one today.
Limitations. There is at least one key limitation to this decision that will undoubtedly continue to be heavily litigated. Justice Gorsuch noted that "[w]hile other employers in other cases may raise free [religious] exercise arguments that merit careful consideration, none of the employers …"8 in the cases at issue here argued that granting protections under Title VII for sexual orientation and transgender status would infringe upon their religious liberties.
The Impact. The Bostock decision conclusively establishes that sexual orientation and transgender status are included in the protected characteristic of "sex" under Title VII. While at least one key area of uncertainty remains with respect to religious liberties, it is nonetheless a decision with broad implications for most covered employers and LGBTQ+ individuals.
What Are Next Steps for Employers?
Employers subject to Title VII should carefully evaluate the Bostock decision to determine its impact. The impact may be minimal for employers with existing policies prohibiting harassment and discrimination based upon sexual orientation and transgender status. Other employers will need to determine their specific compliance obligations, update their handbooks and policies accordingly, and take additional steps to ensure compliance and mitigate risk.
A covered employer's next steps should, at a minimum, include the following:
review the nature and scope of the employer's obligations under Title VII and identify potential compliance gaps;
review and, if necessary, update employee handbooks, equal employment opportunity policies, anti-harassment policies, and/or anti-discrimination policies;
revise any related forms, statements, or other disclosure documents as necessary;
evaluate third party relationships to determine whether any changes need to be made (e.g., review anti-harassment/anti-discrimination policies for employees who work on-site for a client); and
provide communication and additional training to employees, including managers, to prevent unlawful harassment and/or discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or transgender status.
Krieg DeVault LLP's Labor and Employment team is available to help you understand the impact of this decision on your business, determine your compliance obligations, and move your compliance plan into action. We are pleased to offer flexible flat fee arrangements to assist clients with compliance-related activities, such as reviewing and updating employee handbooks, policies, and training materials.

MARLBOROUGH - Dissatisfied with the direction of the charter school, more than a dozen AMSA parents last night urged the school administration to perform "an honest self-examination."
Dissatisfied with the direction of the charter school, more than a dozen AMSA parents last night urged the school administration to perform "an honest self-examination."
A parent identifying himself as John Bruggemann read a petition, which he said had 25 signatures thus far, to the Advanced Math and Science Academy Charter School board of trustees at a meeting in the school library.
"We are very disappointed with the execution of the math and science curriculum," he said.
The AMSA parents surrounded Bruggemann as he described concerns over teacher attrition and "the frustrations of an overburdened and apparently politically fearful staff."
The school prides itself on its advanced curriculum. The school's executive director, Julia Sigalovsky, has professed a goal of developing AMSA into the top public school in the state. The school opened in fall 2005.
This fall, classrooms were observed filled with middle-schoolers discussing the tenets of Confucius and poring over collegiate chemistry texts.
However, the stress of the staff may be spilling into the classroom and affecting the students, Bruggemann said.
"We question the emotional health of the school," he said, reading from the petition.
Teacher turnover is a concern the board of trustees had spent considerable time discussing earlier in the evening. School officials were specifically debating the merits of having a person who is trained to handle the rigors of a middle-school classroom compared to a scholar who may not have such training, but is an expert in a particular field.
"We cannot afford to lose any more people," he said.
Bruggemann stressed that he wanted to prevent people from leaving the school.
"Many of us are longtime supporters that have been with AMSA since its pioneer year. We fundamentally believe in its mission and want to see it become a great school," he said.
The petition also requests an independent consultant evaluate the teacher and student stress, teacher attrition and "lack of classroom stability."
In other business, the board agreed to run a CORI check on a part-time employee who is vying for a full-time position at the school.
The board reviewed an anonymous letter that alleges one current part-time AMSA employee assaulted a former AMSA teacher last fall. The letter alleges the incident took place off school grounds.
There was some question over whether the incident took place. Board members indicated they had yet to see a police report regarding the matter.
The board was still meeting at the Daily News' deadline last night.

The Rural Broadband Acceleration Act: An Explainer
By Jonathan ChambersJuly 20, 2020No Comments
The idea started out simply enough. In January, the FCC had adopted its RDOF auction design whereby Gigabit tier bidders would win in the auction against all other bidders. In March, the FCC had identified the eligible census blocks and the amount of funding.
And in March, across the nation, schools and businesses started the experiment of large-scale schooling and working online. Economic activity began to shut down. Conexon was working with nearly 100 electric coops who were prepared to begin constructing rural fiber optic networks to every home and business in their service areas, and the RDOF caused most of the projects to pause. If there is a large funding program, and you may or may not receive funding, the program itself can be the cause for delay until the results are known.
So, I published a straightforward proposal: accelerate the RDOF program for those who are guaranteed to win in the auction and are prepared to move forward now and build on an expedited schedule. Recognize that the times call for action. Spend no more money than has already been allocated in the very places and for the very amounts that have already been determined. And move the timetable up by a year. Get rural America back to work by building necessary fiber infrastructure.
Congressman Clyburn liked the proposal, turned it into legislation, and the House adopted Congressman Clyburn's legislation as part of the HEROES Act. Then, Washington does what it is so good at doing: mischaracterize, delay, obfuscate. All while rural America waits.
I stand by the words I wrote in March. They are unchanged and can be found here: https://www.conexon.us/conexon-blog/accelerate-the-rdof-how-to-spend-billions-in-long-term-critical-broadband-infrastructure-create-jobs-and-stimulate-the-rural-economy-now/
I thought it might be time to correct some of the record concerning the legislation, now introduced on a bipartisan basis in both House and Senate.
First, the FCC claims that the legislation would delay the RDOF auction. If properly implemented, it would not.
Under the current schedule, the Commission will remove census blocks from the auction up to two weeks before the auction begins, mostly blocks that are part of any RUS ReConnect grant awarded between June 25 and October 15. The Commission clearly has the ability to remove census blocks for other purposes, such as the Clyburn legislation. Only one category of applicants, those who will certainly win in the auction, would identify such census blocks. Only those blocks would be removed from the auction. The applicants would demonstrate their readiness and financial viability by submitting network diagrams and demonstration of financial capability. Determining whether the required documents have been filed is a ministerial act. The information, and the other documents in the FCC long-form application, can be evaluated in full during or after the auction is concluded, just as it is for all winning bidders in an auction.
The question is simply whether the FCC has time between September 15 and October 15 to remove census blocks before the auction identified by applicants who will assuredly win those same geographic areas during the auction. Under the auction schedule, the FCC will require long-form applications to be filed in January and other documents six months later, with awards made in the months after that. The original purpose of the legislation was to allow applicants, the known winners, to file their long-form applications first, so that they may be evaluated early, so that they may get funding sooner and get to work on an expedited schedule. That original purpose still stands. The legislation will cut six months to a year off the schedule for applicants who will win anyway.
A related issue has arisen regarding state and federal Eligible Telecommunications Carrier certification. The legislation eliminates the process for the RDOF program. Following the CAF II auction, the FCC allowed six months for winning bidders to get ETC certification. It took some carriers a year or longer. RDOF is largely a broadband program, and no state commission examines the broadband capabilities under its ETC examination. ETC is a voice-only certification. I have been involved in dozens of ETC processes starting with the very first ones following the passage of the 1996 Telecommunications Act. The process today is an anachronism. More important, the process takes time, time that shouldn't be wasted during a crisis.
Second, the legislation would award the Gigabit tier applicants 100% of the model-calculated reserve price. The FCC's model is a projection of the cost to construct, operate and maintain greenfield, fiber-to-the-premise Gigabit Passive Optical Networks. It makes sense to award 100% of the reserve price to pay for the very thing that was modeled to the only applicants/bidders who would build such a network. After all, since 2015 under the CAF program and ACAM program, the FCC has awarded 100% of FTTP model-based funding using variations of the same model, but only for service of 4/1 Mbps, 10/1 Mbps and 25/3 Mbps.
During the auction, these applicants/bidders would win the amount of the clearing round price, which may or may not be 100%. The clearing round price point in the CAF II auction was 78.35%. The clearing round in RDOF will likely be 80% or 90%. Awarding at 100% is a policy choice. The legislation makes it clear that the budget for the remaining bidders cannot be negatively affected. Of the 100% award, 50% will be drawn from the RDOF II program. In that way, as long as the clearing round is 50% or above, the budget relative to the eligible census blocks is not decreased. Since the RDOF budget is $16 billion and the aggregate reserve prices are just over $27 billion, it is mathematically impossible for the clearing round to be less than 50% and therefore mathematically impossible for the budget for remaining bidders to be reduced relative to the remaining geography.
Finally, the legislation was initially limited to symmetrical Gigabit service. The bill was introduced in the Senate and re-introduced in the House to include service that was capable of at least Gigabit downstream, without the requirement of symmetrical speeds. Conexon only builds fiber networks, so we prefer networks capable of symmetrical Gigabit speeds. This was a policy choice. Sec. 254 of the Communications Act charges the FCC with ensuring that rural America has access to telecommunications and information services that are reasonably comparable to services in urban America. According to the latest publicly available FCC data, Gigabit downstream speeds are available to over 98% of urban households, while Gigabit upstream speeds are available to 38% of urban households. Therefore, while that wasn't my original proposal, it seems a reasonable policy choice to me.
Let's not lose sight of the objective, which is to accelerate the construction of broadband networks. Is an acceleration of RDOF by six months or a year such a big deal? Just last week, Conexon assisted seven electric cooperatives in Mississippi prepare applications for broadband funds pursuant to the CARES Act, funds which must be spent to improve broadband capacity by the end of this year. In less than six months, these coops will build over 2000 miles of fiber making service available to over 40,000 unserved rural Mississippians. Another half dozen Mississippi coops are doing the same thing with other construction firms. Is six months a big deal? It is to the people we serve. It's a big deal to a million people in Mississippi without adequate broadband, and to the millions we serve in dozens of states across the country.

Specialist Joinery Group Announces New Jobs as £5 Million Factory Opens
As it marks 30 years of business, Specialist Joinery Group is recruiting 52 additional staff as part of a multi-million pounds investment. The investment included a major extension to its factory in Maghera which now spans three acres.
The bespoke joinery and fitted furniture manufacturer is expanding its workforce to help grow its business in Great Britain and Europe. The investment and its state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities will enable the family business to fulfill a rising demand for its services among tier one contractors in the major project market.
Invest NI has offered Specialist Joinery Fittings Limited £468,000 towards the capital investment, part funded by European Regional Development Fund.
Founder and Chairman John O'Hagan said: "The business has grown rapidly since our last major investment in 2013, resulting in the need for more capacity to meet our customer's needs. We remain intensely export focused, as well as maintaining our position as a market leader on the island of Ireland. Over the past 30 years in business the company has delivered an outstanding portfolio of major projects for leading law practices, pharmaceutical companies, universities and hospitals as well as working for some of the world's most distinguished brands – Estee Lauder, Google, Rolls Royce, AECOM and Amazon."
Bill Montgomery, Invest Northern Ireland's Director of Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering, said: "Specialist Joinery Group is an established and growing manufacturing business which has positioned itself as the preferred supplier for large scale projects across a range of sectors. We are delighted to have been working alongside the business for a number of years. This investment and expansion of the company headquarters will help ensure it can continue to successfully compete for larger scale projects with shorter timescales."
Reflecting on the future growth ambitions of the business, Managing Director, Ciaran O'Hagan added: "We view this latest extension as a critical investment in the group's growth and development. We have built our brand reputation purely on people and the quality and service they deliver. This project is foremost an investment in our people and their ability to provide world class joinery and the ultimate client experience. As our team grows, we will work hard to maintain this family culture. New additions of a staff gym, extensive breakout areas and 150 seater staff restaurant to Specialist HQ, will further enhance our capability to recruit and retain the best talent in the industry."

Cyberstar Papi Jiang has secured a whopping 22 million yuan ($3.4 million) advertising contract for spots on her Internet video program, making history in China's social media.
A female student pursuing a master's degree in directing at the Central Academy of Drama, Papi Jiang became an Internet celebrity for her original, funny, and sarcastic short videos. She received an investment of 12 million yuan last month from venture capitalists.
A Shanghai-based e-commerce site for cosmetics won the high bid during an auction for advertising to be broadcast at the end of her video program. Advertisements in the online video programming sector usually cost hundreds of thousands of yuan.
The successful bidder said they are willing to pay such a high price due to "the power of her personality."
Her agent Yang Ming, also a student at the Central Academy of Drama, said they will donate the net income from the commercials to their alma mater.
Just days before, China's TV watchdog required the young celebrity to purge her program of foul language or face a shutdown. In response, Papi Jiang promised to "rectify her online videos and transmit positive energy to everyone."
Her videos are original, funny, and sarcastic!

Signal Is Getting All the Support from Its Users
The new video conferencing app, Signal, has added end-to-end encryption in its latest update and users are loving it, even though it is still not fit for a big group meeting.
Owing to the spread of coronavirus, employees all over the world have resorted to working from home, which has generated demand for group video calling apps. The newest app is Signal. This app offers a secure way of connecting with colleagues, classmates, and friends. The latest upgrade of Signal provides end-to-end encryption for all the chats and calls so that the users can safely communicate with each other.
Right now everyone has video conferencing apps installed in their devices. Different people have different priorities which have impacted their choice of video calling application, for instance, Zoom. However, Zoom has faced a lot of security issues in the last few months and among them, one was the absence of end-to-end encryption in the application which is a big threat to the users' security. Zoom lied about having the end-to-end encryption features since the year 2016 while they actually rolled it out this year.
Users who want to use the encryption feature of Signal should have the updated and latest version of the application. Once the user has the latest version of the app, Signal will automatically upgrade to the new groups' interface, which will show the video calling button on the top of the chat. The group conference calls will be displayed in a grid view but participants can easily swipe up the screen to switch to a view of the person who is currently speaking. Signal's main motto is to focus on having a more user-friendly interface.
The only drawback of the app is that it will not work for big groups. Currently, the video calling feature only allows five participants at a time. The developers of the app are working towards increasing the participants and it is likely that a new upgrade will arrive soon.

Simba Actor Donald Glover Wears Lion Onesie on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Before The Lion King Opens
07/10/2019 Comments Off on Simba Actor Donald Glover Wears Lion Onesie on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Before The Lion King Opens
Donald Glover takes his roles seriously.
The actor and musician, who performs under the name Childish Gambino, stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! wearing a full lion onesie in a hilarious Method actor moment. Glover voices Simba in the upcoming Disney remake of The Lion King, out July 18.
"This is what we wore every day," Glover, 35, joked, adding that late Muppets genius Jim Henson's creature shop made the costume. "It took about five years."
Glover stars in the movie alongside an A-list cast, led by Beyoncé as the grown-up Nala. But while Glover gets to sing a duet with the superstar in the film, he revealed that he specifically asked to record their parts separately as to not get intimidated.

"I requested not to be. I did not want to be looking into Beyonce's eyes while doing this," Glover said. "I was actually working on Solo at the time so I was in London and I recorded at Abbey Road studios."
And when host Jimmy Kimmel pointed out that it's probably less intimidating to not have to sing with her, Glover made a hilarious analogy.
"I imagine it's less intimidating playing basketball with Michael Jordan if you're at home just throwing pieces of paper in the trash," he joked.
Glover went on to explain that even his son, who born in early 2016, is a huge fan of Beyoncé, which is surprising given the child shouldn't really know who she is.
"He doesn't watch TV or commercials, we basically show him one movie once a week if he wants," Glover explained. "And yesterday I was like hey, you wanna go see The Lion King? And he was like Oh, sure. Beyoncé's in it, right? And I was like, how did you know that? I'm just saying, Beyoncé has people who haven't even seen television loving her. She's incredible."
When Kimmel asked how his son could possibly know who Beyoncé is, Glover said he was at a loss.
"This is not a joke, I do not know," Glover admitted. "I was like, did grandma tell you that. And he's just like, [shrugs] Beyoncé."
The Lion King opens in theaters July 18.

Cinco tribo civilizadas (em inglês: Five Civilized Tribes) é a denominação dada aos cinco primeiros povos indígenas que os colonizadores anglo-europeus consideraram ter adotado padrões de  civilização compatíveis com sua visão de mundo, ou seja, valores e padrões culturais do colonizador, tais como cristianismo, governos centralizados, alfabetização, participação no mercado, constituições escritas, casamentos com americanos brancos, exploração agrícola do tipo plantation, com emprego de mão de obra escrava. Habitantes do sudeste dos Estados Unidos, esses cinco povos foram os Muskogi ou Muskogee (também conhecidos como Creek), os Chickasaw, os Choctaw, os Seminole e os Cherokee.

Em princípios do século XIX conseguiram, pelos seus próprios meios, um notável desenvolvimento económico e cultural, chegando a ter leis e uma constituição.

Deslocamentos forçados
Quando Andrew Jackson se tornou presidente dos Estados Unidos, em 1829, seu governo adotou uma linha dura em relação aos indígenas. Jackson abandonara a política de seus predecessores de tratar os diferentes grupos indígenas como nações separadas. Em vez disso, reprimiu todas tribos que reivindicavam soberania constitucional e independência das leis do Estado. Por força do Indian Removal Act, aprovado pelo Congresso em 26 de maio de  1830, e apesar das garantias contratuais que lhes haviam sido dadas pelo governo dos Estados Unidos, esses povos indígenas acabaram sendo compulsoriamente removidos de seus territórios, mediante uma série de deportações que se processaram ao longo de décadas, por vezes após lutas sangrentas. Esses povos, que viviam a leste do rio Mississippi, acabaram, portanto, sendo removidos para reservas situadas no território indígena a oeste do Mississippi (correspondente à parte leste do atual estado de Oklahoma), onde afinal poderiam ter suas próprias leis, sem interferência do Estado. A deportação mais conhecida é a chamada Trilha das Lágrimas, de 1838, com a qual o presidente Martin Van Buren rompeu o tratado de New Echota com a nação Cherokee, trocando suas terras por outras, mais a oeste.

Uma vez que os nativos foram deslocados para o território indígena, o governo mais uma vez lhes prometeu que suas terras seriam preservadas da colonização dos brancos. Ali constituíram um estado, com leis escritas e tribunais próprios, e também reorganizaram a vida económica. Mas muitos colonos não respeitaram o compromisso do governo, certos de que ficariam impunes. Finalmente, em 1893, o governo abriu a chamada  "Cherokee Strip" ('faixa Cherokee') para estender a colonização a Oklahoma. Em 1907, os territórios de Oklahoma e o território indígena foram fundidos, dando origem ao novo estado de Oklahoma. Assim termina a autonomia das cinco tribos.

Most people attempt to write their own resumes based on online templates. Sometimes this works out okay, but it never looks quite professional. You also have to look at your resume in the way that a potential employer would view it. For that reason, it is not the best idea to write your own resume. Here are some reasons why.
Most people who do their own resumes are shocked to discover that potential employers will not even look at a resume that is more than a page long. Sure, you want the interviewer to see all of the really good stuff you have done, but if you fill out even a paragraph on a second page, your resume is trash. There are many employers who have admitted that a two+ page resume is a waste of their time, and they write off candidates who do that. Hiring resume writing services can make your resume much more concise, and limit it to one page.
This is one of those "between a rock and a hard place" situations. You cannot leave blanks in employment history, yet you cannot put unrelated job experiences on your resume either. In truth, you may have as many as five different resumes based on the content of your job history and its applications for the job to which you are applying. One resume is NOT a one-size-fits-all job application.
The problem with writing your own resume is that you probably write longer phrases. Potential employers want to be able to scan the resume and see specific details, not your life story. This is really hard, especially if you are not used to writing like this. The rule of thumb is that no phrase on your resume should be longer than five to seven words. Anything longer will be ignored or junked.
It also helps to use bulleted lists when talking about job duties or personal traits, if there is room on your single-sheet resume. The lists draw attention to things you want your interviewer to know. As long as the phrases next to the bullets or numbers are brief and easy to scan, they are an effective tool for getting your resume noticed. If you are really stuck or you just cannot write a resume, there are more than enough businesses and writers out there who can help.
There are many resume writing services that can help you with what you need.

Motorcyclist injured in accident
Written by silvercitydailypress on September 4, 2013
Mandy Lemon, 45, part of a large motorcycle touring group from the Dallas, Texas, area, was injured in an accident on New Mexico 152 about one-and-one-half miles below the Lower Gallinas Campground at about 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 31. The group was traveling from Hillsboro to San Lorenzo.
According to New Mexico State Police Sgt. Ricky Herrera, Lemon failed to negotiate a turn and laid her Harley-Davidson down where it skidded off the roadway and 25 feet down an embankment, hanging up in a tree. Lemon continued down the slope and was found about 48 feet from the highway.
Lemon suffered a broken femur and back injuries, Herrera said, and was flown by helicopter to El Paso's University Medical Hospital.

From Page 1
Two men from the Sherman Station of the Lower Mimbres Volunteer Fire Department, Mike Barragree and Miguel Rosales, brought a brush truck to the scene to see if they could help.
Barragree said, "We ended up lowering a backboard with a winch cable attached down to the injured woman, and with two men on each side carrying the backboard and the winch on the brush truck pulling everyone up the slope, the woman was brought to the waiting helicopter, which was sitting on the highway.'
No citations were issued, according to Herrera.
