''When Love Comes Down'' was released in July 9, 1991 for [[Scotti Brothers Records|Scotti Brothers]] and Top Notch Records with the singles "Taste of Love", "Rock Hard" and the album's title track. It was expecting to be a much better album (compared to Survivor's ''Too Hot to Sleep'') but it wasn't, yet still managed to have a couple of songs on some movies soundtracks and TV series (the singles "Rock Hard" would appeared in one of the Baywacth's episodes, "[[List of Baywatch episodes|Nightmare Bay: Part 2]]" and "Taste of Love" did the same for the TV Show on the episode "Lifeguards Can't Jump" and for the 1992 romantic film "''[[Jersey Girl (1992 film)|Jersey Girl]]''"). The album was produced by Shel Talmy, Kenny Mims and Jim Gaines, distributed by RMG and published by Mofo Music BMI. The album's title track, "Long Walk Home", "True Lovers", "Cry Alone", "Rock Hard" and "Angry Young Man" were written by Jimi along with Kenny Mims and some others. The song "If You Walk Away" written by Skip Adams & Todd Cerney is cover by Linda Lawley on her album in 1995.

Mormons to Spend Less Time at Church on Sundays, Leaders Say

Mormons to Spend Less Time at Church on Sundays, Leaders Say Mormons will start spending less time at church each Sunday — two hours instead of three — after a change announced Saturday aimed at making worship more manageable for members around the globe. The change, which takes effect in January, is a significant one for Mormons, who since 1980 have been expected to attend all three hours each Sunday to be considered active members of the faith. The news triggered widespread applause from members, with some posting celebratory memes on social media. It came during the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' twice-yearly conference, where a leader also reaffirmed the faith's opposition to gay marriage and its belief that one's gender is God-given and for eternity. "The senior leaders of the church have been aware for many years that for some of our precious members, a three-hour Sunday schedule at church can be difficult,'' said Quentin L. Cook, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, church leaders who help run the faith. "This is particularly true for parents with small children, primary children, elderly members, new converts and others.'' The three-hour commitment is a hefty one compared with those of some other religions' Sunday services. Many Catholic, Lutheran and Methodist churches, for instance, offer weekly worship that lasts about an hour or an hour and a half, along with voluntary classes and other gatherings throughout the week. Trying to be 'proactive' Church President Russell M. Nelson called the adjustment a new "home-centered church'' strategy that comes as the faith expands throughout the world. More than half of its 16 million members live outside the U.S. and Canada. "The long-standing objective of the church is to assist all members to increase their faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and in his atonement,'' Nelson said. "In this complex world today, this is not easy. The adversary is increasing his attack on faith and on families at an exponential rate. To survive spiritually, we need counterstrategies and proactive plans.'' Paulina Porras, a mother of 1-year-old twins, was ecstatic with the news. Her daughters aren't old enough to go to children's programs alone, so she and her husband have to care for them during Sunday church time. "Staying three hours is impossible,'' said Porras, 29, of Logan. "Two hours, we can do.'' Instead of attending two meetings each Sunday beyond the one-hour worship — such as Sunday school, men's and women's groups — members will attend one each Sunday, with the meetings rotating throughout the month, Cook said. 'Crazy' family schedules Marc Fisher, an insurance company owner from Las Vegas, also lauded the change. Three hours each Sunday can be intimidating for potential converts and wayward members, and the change gives families the flexibility to weave in gospel activities at home. Fisher, 38, has seven children ranging in age from 7 to 25 who are busy with piano, volleyball and homework, he said. He plans to have more one-on-one talks with them. "Schedules are crazy for a lot of families,'' Fisher said. "Sometimes you hear in the church we're caught up with checklists, the pressure and the stress of just meeting everything.'' While U.S. members most likely will welcome the new schedule, it seems to mainly reflect the church shifting its focus away from being heavily Western American, where most members live near chapels and can handle the three-hour Sunday commitment, or worship block, said Mormon scholar Matthew Bowman, an associate professor of history at Henderson State University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. "This change is geared toward making participation in the church more flexible and increasingly targeted toward smaller congregations: A shorter worship block means less volunteer demands upon the congregation, fewer jobs which need to be filled, and generally easier administration,'' Bowman said in an email. Church membership growth has decreased in recent years, with membership growth in 2017 being the slowest in 80 years, according to independent Mormon researcher Matt Martinich. The number of convert baptisms in 2017 reached the lowest level in 30 years, he said. This is mainly due to slowed growth in the countries with the most members: the United States, Mexico, Brazil, the Philippines, Chile and Peru, Martinich said. Accent on efficiency He doesn't think the Sunday change is aimed at increasing retention, but rather at using church resources and members' time more efficiently. The switch could allow multiple congregations to use the same church building in places like Utah where there are large numbers of members. It also will let members do personal and family gospel activities on their own time, he said. The two-day Mormon conference kicked off a day after the faith announced it was renaming the famed Mormon Tabernacle Choir to drop the word "Mormon.'' The singing group, now called the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, performed at the conference, as it always does. The decision to rename the choir the was the first major move since Nelson in August called for an end to the use of shorthand names for the religion that have been used for generations by church members and the public. The comments about gay marriage and gender came from longtime Quorum of the Twelve member Dallin H. Oaks, who called on members to oppose "social and legal pressures to retreat from traditional marriage or to make changes that confuse or alter gender or homogenize the differences between men and women.'' Oaks said those relationships and identities are "essential to accomplish God's great plan'' and that Satan "seeks to confuse gender, to distort marriage and to discourage childbearing — especially by parents who will raise children in truth.'' The comments align with past positions by the faith, which has tried to take a more welcoming stance to LGBTQ people while sticking with fundamental opposition to same-sex marriage and transgender operations.

Pope OKs Study of Vatican Archives Into McCarrick Scandal

【Move to another page】

https://ift.tt/2RwcbEz
Pope OKs Study of Vatican Archives Into McCarrick Scandal Pope Francis has authorized a "thorough study" of Vatican archives into how a prominent American cardinal advanced through church ranks despite allegations that he slept with seminarians and young priests, the Vatican said Saturday. The Vatican said it was aware that such an investigation may produce evidence "that choices were taken that would not be consonant with a contemporary approach to such issues." But it said Francis would "follow the path of truth, wherever it may lead." The statement did not address specific allegations that Francis himself knew of sexual misconduct allegations against now ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick in 2013 and rehabilitated him anyway from sanctions imposed by Pope Benedict XVI. Francis has said he would not say a word about those allegations, lodged by a retired Vatican ambassador. Depending on the scope of the investigation, Francis' actions may be found to have been inconsistent with what he now considers unacceptable behavior. "Both abuse and its cover-up can no longer be tolerated and a different treatment for bishops who have committed or covered-up abuse in fact represents a form of clericalism that is no longer acceptable," the statement said. The Vatican knew as early as 2000 that seminarians complained that McCarrick pressured them to sleep with him. The Rev. Boniface Ramsay, a professor at a New Jersey seminary, wrote a letter to the Vatican in November 2000 relaying the seminarians' concerns after McCarrick was named archbishop of Washington. St. John Paul II still went ahead with the nomination and made McCarrick a cardinal the following year. McCarrick resigned as Washington archbishop in 2006 after he reached the retirement age of 75. Francis accepted McCarrick's resignation as a cardinal in July after a U.S. church investigation determined that an allegation that he groped a teenage altar boy in the 1970s was credible. Since then, another man has come forward saying McCarrick molested him when he was a young teen and other men have said they were harassed by McCarrick as adult seminarians and young priests. The scandal has created a crisis in confidence in the U.S. hierarchy, since it was apparently an open secret that McCarrick, now 88, would invite seminarians to his New Jersey beach house, and into his bed. Faced with a loss of credibility, U.S. bishops announced they wanted a full-scale Vatican investigation into how McCarrick was able to rise through the ranks, despite his misconduct. The Vatican statement Saturday made clear an investigation would take place.

The Battle for Gender Equality in Hollywood

【Move to another page】
Quote
https://ift.tt/2y5pfsD
The Battle for Gender Equality in Hollywood The #MeToo and #TimesUp movements address the sexual harassment and abuse of women by powerful men in Hollywood and elsewhere today. But systemic sexism in the film industry goes back decades, influencing how stories have been told on the silver screen. Consider the cartoon Pepe Le Pew, about a persistent skunk in relentless pursuit of Penelope Pussycat. When the TV series first appeared, more than half a century ago, it was considered cute and romantic. Today's audiences find the skunk's unwanted advances creepy, and reflect female characters as passive sexual objects, said George Mason University professor Lisa Koch. Domestic abuse and patronizing behavior of husbands toward their wives were often glorified as passionate relationships, Koch added, such as in the narrative of the 1939 epic drama Gone with the Wind. The character of Rhett Butler, played by Clark Gable, is derisive and controlling toward his on-screen wife, Scarlett O Hara, played by Vivien Leigh. She is scripted as petulant, erratic and manipulative. Hollywood glamorized and validated the hypermasculine male character who had to rein in the manipulative and childlike female characters, Koch said. On screen, behind the scenes Sexism and abuse on screen also reflected the pervasive sexual abuse actresses often endured behind the scenes, said Giovanna Chesler, director of film and video studies at George Mason University. "You read about how Bertolucci and Marlon Brando had an arrangement for their actress in Last Tango in Paris. They knew that this would be a rape scene they would be filming but she (actress Maria Schneider) did not." Chesler was referring to Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci as well as U.S. actor Brando. In her 2016 autobiography, Tippi Hedren: A Memoir, the actress who was Alfred Hitchcock's main muse and star of his films The Birds and Marnie, writes that when she turned down the filmmaker's sexual advances, he threatened to destroy her career. Chesler says this pervasive culture of sexism and blackmail produced men like Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein. "He was the Oscar maker and he anointed all of these actresses into Oscar-producing roles." Chesler said. "They thought that once they really broke through, they would get out of being sexualized on screen. How ironic that in order to do so, they had to deal with this predator." Dozens of women have accused the disgraced Hollywood studio boss of sexual misconduct that includes harassment and assault. Earlier this year, Weinstein was indicted on sex crimes charges but remains free on bail while he fights the accusations. Beyond Hollywood Since the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements began, many films have offered more nuanced and textured female characters and are telling more women's stories. But activists say more needs to be done to increase women's equitable treatment in Hollywood. Lisa Koch says there is definitely power in the number of women who are uniting against sexism and sexual abuse from all walks of life. "It started with 300 women in Hollywood," she said. "It has expanded dramatically, so 700,000 farm laborers pledged their support and that is just one example across the spectrum. Within the first 60 days, the movement raised $21 million in financial backing." WATCH: Sexism, Assault in Workplace, Including Hollywood, Stopped by Balancing Power Activist and filmmaker Shannon Lee says female producers and behind-the-scenes artists are offering women jobs, equal pay and creative expression, such as film producer Ava DuVernay, who has an artist collective that distributes films and mandates that all the directors be female. Lee cautions, however, that sexism against women in the workplace is too pervasive to change overnight. "When there is an imbalance of power, there is an abuse of power. USA Today did a survey that came out in 2017 saying that 94 percent of women in the film industry have had some experience of sexual harassment or sexual assault," Lee said. Koch offers another statistic: "Ninety-five percent of Hollywood directors are men, 18 percent of those involved in film production as directors, producers, writers cinematographers, editors, are women." Both women say the goal in the industry is 50/50 by 2020. "Where there is 50 percent male and 50 percent female, you don't have the opportunity to this gross misconduct," Lee said. Sunu Chandy is the legal director of the National Women's Law Center in Washington. She represents thousands of women who have come forward to seek legal support against sexual harassment and discrimination. She says both the #MeToo movement, where women openly addressed the abuse they suffered at the hands of men, and the #TimesUp movement, where sexual predators like Bill Cosby have been prosecuted and convicted for their crimes, are significant legal steps in establishing gender equity in Hollywood and elsewhere. "Hiring women into roles that are traditionally male roles is absolutely something that we are pushing for," Chandy said. "But if someone goes there and is sexually harassed and leaves, it's continuing the problem. If the Time's Up fund helps that case to come forward and be publicized and that company takes meaningful steps to create a better workplace, more women will be encouraged to apply there." Chandy says that although progress is being made in offering women the legal help and support they deserve, much still has to be done to bring about real change in the workplace, be it a factory, a farm or a Hollywood movie set.

Kavanaugh Hearings Showcase Power, Perils of Women’s Rage

【Move to another page】

https://ift.tt/2IJ753O
Kavanaugh Hearings Showcase Power, Perils of Women's Rage The contrast was stark. Christine Blasey Ford was calm and careful as she testified to U.S. senators last week that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her as a teenager. Then Kavanaugh sat at the same table and angrily denied the allegations. He talked back to his questioners; he called the process "a national disgrace." Kavanaugh's behavior triggered a new line of debate in his bid to be confirmed to the nation's highest court — whether he is temperamentally suited for the job. As senators prepare to take their final vote on his lifetime appointment, his fury that day — and how women's and men's anger are perceived differently in politics and beyond — has been front and center in the national conversation. "Powerful white men in this country have often been able to use anger to emphasize the seriousness of the points they want to make," said Rebecca Traister, a political writer whose book Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger, came out this week. "Women are told if they want to be taken seriously, believed, respected, they must not speak out of anger or use angry tones,'' she said. "If they do, they'll sound irrational, unserious, emotional, and not trusted or respected in a public or political sphere." Kavanaugh was able to choose anger as a tool in his own defense, "but that tool wasn't even on the table for Christine Blasey Ford," Traister said in an interview at VOA in Washington. Collective anger At the same time, she said, women's collective anger has often been the catalyst for real social change. Her book details how U.S. movements from abolition and suffrage to civil rights, gay rights and women's rights in the 1970s revved up when women came together in anger about perceived injustices. "If you look at the history, though we've never really been told their stories, there are furious women at the beginning of all those movements," she said. That may be happening now as well. Women protesters flooded Senate office buildings and marched to the Supreme Court this week, calling on senators to vote against Kavanaugh. WATCH: Kavanaugh Confirmation Battle Opens Space for Women's Anger The he-said-she-said testimony, with little to gain for Ford, was just the latest in a series of events that have upset American women, especially those who support Democrats, since Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election to Donald Trump almost two years ago. On the day after his inauguration, Jan. 21, 2017, millions took to the streets of Washington and cities across America and the world for the "Women's March," igniting political action that has led to record woman candidates in the midterm elections Nov. 6. Anger is a motivating, propellant force for all kinds of political activism," Traister said. "There is a vast and rich history of women coming together in frustration and resentment and anguish and fury around the world, and in working to change the structures that contain and subjugate them." Individual anger For one woman protester last week, activist and sexual assault survivor Ana Maria Archila, getting angry and letting it show changed the conversation. She was one of two women who challenged Republican Senator Jeff Flake in an elevator, demanding that he take survivors' testimonies into account in his decision on Kavanaugh. In an interview, Archila said she was reacting to reports that Flake was going to give his unconditional support to Kavanaugh, and she decided to show how she really felt. "I was reacting to how that felt in my body, what that meant for my children, and I think I was not going to try to censor myself, not going to try to be obedient and behave well," she said. "I was really going to try to help him understand the message that he was sending to women across the country." After the interaction, which was caught live on CNN and widely viewed around the world, Flake and Democratic Senator Chris Coons delayed the confirmation process by asking Republican leaders for an FBI investigation of the Ford allegations. That report was completed Wednesday, and senators had the chance to read it Thursday. Susan Collins, the Republican senator from Maine who was reported to be unsure about whether she would vote for Kavanaugh, confirmed Friday she didn't find reason in the report not to support him. For his part, Republican Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell blasted the crowds of angry women turning out to oppose Kavanaugh. "Can we be scared by all these people rampaging through the halls, accosting members at airports, coming to their homes? Trying to intimidate the Senate into defeating a good man. Are we going to allow this to happen? In this country?" he said on the Senate floor Thursday. Even as Kavanaugh is likely to join the high court, Traister and Archila both say this most recent episode may help shift the power dynamic between men and women in Washington. "We are usually not alone, and connecting and being curious about other women's anger, perhaps at the same things, is one of the pathways forward," Traister said.

Spanish Opera Singer Montserrat Caballe Dies at 85

Spanish Opera Singer Montserrat Caballe Dies at 85 Montserrat Caballe, a Spanish opera singer renowned for her bel canto technique and her interpretations of the roles of Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti, has died. She was 85. Caballe died early Saturday at Hospital San Pau in Barcelona, hospital spokesman Abraham del Moral told The Associated Press. Caballe's family requested the cause of death not be released, saying that she had been in the hospital since September, del Moral said. Spanish media said that Caballe entered the hospital last month because of a gall bladder problem. "A great ambassador of our country has died," Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said in a tweet. "Her voice and tenderness will remain with us forever." An early talent Born into a working class family in Barcelona, Caballe unveiled her musical talents early on, singing Bach cantatas at the age of 7. In her almost unlimited repertoire, she starred in 90 opera roles with nearly 4,000 stage performances. At 8, Caballe entered the Liceo's Conservatory in Barcelona with Eugenia Kenny, Conchita Badea, and Napoleone Annovazzi among her first teachers. She won the school's Gold Medal on graduating in 1954. She went on to study opera in Milan and in 1956 joined the Basel Opera and played her first major role that year in the city's Staatstheater as Mimi in Puccini's "La Boheme." Four years later, she was a principal singer with the Bremen Opera. In 1964, Caballe gave a highly praised performance of Jules Masenet's "Manon" in Mexico City, but it was a year later in New York that a lucky break launched her on the road to international stardom. Lucky break On short notice, Caballe stood in for indisposed American soprano Marilyn Horne in a concert performance in Donizetti's "Lucrezia Borgia" at New York's Carnegie Hall and achieved a thunderous success. It opened the doors to all the major opera venues around the world. She produced a highly acclaimed performance as Elisabetta of Valois in an all-star cast of Verdi's "Don Carlo" at the Arena di Verona in 1969. The concert became famous for her "la" on the final "ah" at the very end of the opera, which lasted for more than 20 bars up, driving the audience wild with delight. Caballe was also a noted recitalist, particularly of songs of her native Spain. She was particularly admired for her purity of voice, vocal shadings and exquisite pianissimos. Duet with Freddie Mercury In a brief excursion into pop music, Caballe's duet "Barcelona" with Freddie Mercury, of the rock group Queen, was a hit single in 1987, accompanied by an album of the same name. The title track later became the anthem of the 1992 Summer Olympics in the city. Caballe performed the song live, accompanied by a recording of the late Mercury, at the 1999 UEFA Champions League soccer final in Barcelona's Camp Nou stadium. In 1997, she sang on two tracks on an album by New Age composer Vangelis. In 2015, Caballe was convicted of tax fraud and was given a suspended sentence of six months in prison, which she avoided since first convictions resulting in sentences of less than two years in Spain can be suspended by a judge. She had failed to pay the Spanish treasury more than 500,000 euros ($550,000) in taxes on her earnings. Caballe, who was born Maria de Montserrat Viviana Concepcion Caballe i Folch, dedicated herself to various charities and was a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador. She also established a foundation for needy children in Barcelona. In 1964, she married Spanish tenor Bernabe Marti. They had two children, Bernabe Marti, Jr. and Montserrat Marti, herself a successful soprano.

‘Miracle’ Woman Says El Salvador’s Oscar Romero a Saint

【Move to another page】

https://ift.tt/2IFXcnM
'Miracle' Woman Says El Salvador's Oscar Romero a Saint A Salvadoran woman whose unexpected recovery from a life-threatening condition was deemed a miracle, paving the way for the upcoming canonization of the late Roman Catholic Archbishop Oscar Romero, said Friday she's convinced he is a saint. Speaking days before a planned pilgrimage to the Vatican along with her husband and thousands of others, Cecilia Maribel Flores also expressed hopes of meeting Pope Francis, who earlier this year approved the miracle and decided to elevate the martyred cleric to sainthood. "We know that Romero is a saint, a man of God, who as a pastor defended his flock, defended the poor, the most needy, the victims," Flores said during a visit to the hospital chapel where 38 years ago Romero was shot to death while celebrating Mass. "What God has given me, I must share," she added. Beloved archbishop Romero, already known to many as "Saint Romero of the Americas," was beloved among the working class and poor for defending them against repression by the army. He was equally loathed by conservative sectors who saw him as aligned with leftist causes as the country descended into a 1980-1992 civil war. Crucial to Romero's canonization, scheduled for Oct. 14, was Francis' approval of a miracle attributed to his intercession in Flores' case. "If you believe in God or if you believe in anything, ask Him for your wife to be saved with a miracle" — that's what a doctor told Alejandro Rivas in September 2015 after Flores, his wife, underwent an emergency cesarean section for their third child and was diagnosed with an infection that left her in a coma. Suffering from internal hemorrhaging and with her kidneys on the verge of collapse, she was not expected to survive. "They had told me that she was dying and I had to figure out what to do," Rivas said Friday, "what was going to happen with her and with my children." Prayers to Romero Arriving back home he remembered his late grandmother had tried to instill in him her devotion to Romero, although it had never quite resonated for him. He asked his grandmother for help. Later he picked up her Bible and inside found a card with Romero's image. Kneeling, Rivas prayed to Romero for intervention. He slept, woke up in the morning and returned to the hospital, where a nurse had stunning news: Flores had begun to improve around 2 or 2:30 a.m., the same time he had made his prayer. "It left me frozen. I didn't understand what was going on," Rivas said. "Now I do understand, that it is an incredible miracle." Flores made a full recovery. Beatified in 2015 Romero was previously beatified, a necessary step before canonization, in May 2015 in an emotional ceremony in the Salvadoran capital, San Salvador. The day before his assassination, Romero sent a blunt message to the country's military in his Sunday homily: "In the name of God and this suffering people, I implore you, I order you, in the name of God, to cease the repression." The gunman who killed him was contracted by right-wing death squads. A U.N. truth commission determined that one intellectual author of the assassination was Maj. Roberto d'Aubuisson, a founder of the conservative Arena party that governed the country from 1989 to 2009. D'Aubuisson died in 1992. Neither he nor anyone else who may have ordered the killing was ever punished. A 1993 amnesty decree prevented prosecution for civil war-era crimes for over two decades until it was declared unconstitutional in 2016.

Chance for Serbia Deal Must Be Seized, Kosovo Says

https://ift.tt/2E1ClwD
Chance for Serbia Deal Must Be Seized, Kosovo Says Kosovo's president sees only a small chance of a border deal with Serbia emerging soon, but it is an opportunity that must be pursued, he said Tuesday after western Balkan talks in Geneva. An agreement on a lasting peace between the two countries, including the demarcation of 400 km (250 miles) of border, would open the way to prosperity and closer ties to the European Union, as well as full international recognition for Kosovo, President Hashim Thaci said. "Although the chances are very slim, there's still a good momentum, a good window of opportunity, to reach a historic agreement between our two states," he told reporters. "I understand there are critics, but my reply is that if we lose this momentum now, we risk entering another decade of unclear perspective, of frozen conflict and status quo." The fate of ethnic Serb villages in northern Kosovo is one of the main issues of disagreement. Kosovo is a former province of Serbia that declared independence after Serbian forces were driven out by NATO bombing in a war in 1999. Other leaders of the region also supported the effort to get a deal, he said, adding that there was no reason to fear that it would create a domino effect or represent a "Pandora's Box." He was speaking at the World Economic Forum in Geneva, after a meeting that included the prime ministers of Serbia, Croatia and Albania, as well as Turkey's foreign minister and Germany's defense minister. Accent on stability Serbian Prime Minister Ana BrnabicÌ said the regional leaders, who agreed to hold a summit in 2019, had gathered mainly to talk about how to foster future economic growth. She said it was not in Serbia's interest to rock the boat. "However politically, economically, socially stable and strong we are, any regional instability or even perception of instability will actually negatively impact us," she said. "Serbia has been through a very difficult four years of fiscal consolidation measures. We are now leaving this tunnel, we are seeing the light." She declined to discuss the dialogue with Kosovo. Asked if Serbia would recognize Kosovo, BrnabicÌ said: "Easy question, easy answer: Yes, I think this is the year we will recognize Kosovo for what it is — the autonomous province of the Republic of Serbia. It's not an open question, absolutely not."

Knotted Gun Sculpture Unveiled in Beirut

Knotted Gun Sculpture Unveiled in Beirut A copy of a knotted gun sculpture which has become an emblem for peace was unveiled Tuesday in Lebanon's capital Beirut near a tower block whose shattered facade evokes the civil war that once ripped the city apart. Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reutersward made the original sculpture, a revolver with its barrel tied in a knot, as a tribute to John Lennon after he was shot in New York in 1980. It stands outside the United Nations building in Manhattan, and the Non-Violence Project Foundation, created by Reutersward, has placed copies in other cities around the world. The version in Beirut stands on the seafront, just around the corner from the old Holiday Inn building, a concrete tower block deeply scarred by shell and bullet holes from the 1975-90 civil war. The conflict was fought largely between Christians and Muslims and also drew in Palestinians, Syria, Israel and other foreign powers. For much of the war, Beirut was divided along its "green line" separating mostly Muslim west Beirut from the mostly Christian east. Twenty-eight years after the war ended, the damage is still visible in many parts of the city. While Lebanon is now at peace, conflict has mired many other parts of the region and the seven-year war in neighboring Syria has sent a million refugees to seek refuge in its borders.

US Top Court Weighs Death Penalty for Killer Who Forgot Crime

【Move to another page】

https://ift.tt/2IAlXS0
US Top Court Weighs Death Penalty for Killer Who Forgot Crime U.S. Supreme Court justices, delving into the issue of aging prisoners with dementia, struggled on Tuesday over whether a convicted Alabama murderer should be spared the death penalty because strokes have wiped out his memory of committing the crime. Vernon Madison, 68, was convicted and sentenced to death for the fatal shooting of a Mobile police officer in 1985. During an hour of arguments, the justices heard from both Alabama and Madison's attorney that severe cognitive decline could preclude a state from executing inmates who cannot understand what was happening to them. But it was unclear how the court would decide on whether Madison fits that criteria. The justices, on the second day of their new term, must determine whether executing Madison would violate the U.S. Constitution's Eighth Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. A ruling is due by June. Liberal Justice Stephen Breyer, a death penalty critic, noted that there are many aging inmates who, like Madison, have been sitting on death row for decades. "So this will become a more common problem," Breyer said. The Supreme Court has previously imposed limits on capital punishment for the mentally incompetent or those who are intellectually disabled. Madison has suffered several strokes in recent years, most recently in 2016, resulting in brain damage, dementia and memory impairment, according to court papers. He is legally blind, cannot walk on his own and speaks with a slur. The dispute centers on whether Madison can understand the connection between his crime and the punishment he is due to receive. The state has said Madison can understand the link. A federal appeals court ruled last year that he cannot. The justices ruled last year that the state could execute Madison, but on January 25 the high court then halted his execution and a month later agreed to hear his case. Madison shot Julius Schulte, a police officer in Mobile, twice in the back of the head as Schulte supervised Madison's move out of his former girlfriend's house, according to court papers. The state said that Madison is not delusional or psychotic and he understands that he is being punished for murder. Even if he cannot recall the crime, he can be punished for it, the state said. Madison's attorneys have said that advances in medical science make clear the nature of his impairment, making him unqualified for capital punishment, especially considering society's "evolving standards of decency." Madison, who is black, was sentenced to death in 1994 in his third trial after his first two convictions were thrown out on appeal for racial discrimination in jury selection and other prosecutorial misconduct.

2nd Round of Cholera Vaccinations Under Way in Yemen

2nd Round of Cholera Vaccinations Under Way in Yemen The World Health Organization and its partners are conducting a second round of cholera vaccinations in Yemen in hopes of staving off a third major wave of this fatal disease. A first round of cholera vaccinations was conducted in August in the Yemeni governorates of Hodeida and Ibb. They are considered to be the most vulnerable to an escalation of cholera. Seventy-two percent coverage of the target group, has been reached. That amounts to nearly 390,000 people. In the second round of vaccinations, the World Health Organization reports more than 3,000 local health workers aim to reach an estimated 540,000 people, including children under the age of one. WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic says this campaign is a crucial component in various efforts under way to try to prevent another massive outbreak of cholera in Yemen. "We have been seeing the number of cholera cases increasing in Yemen since June and this increase has been even more important in the last three weeks," said Jasarevic. "And, this is basically, a number of suspected cases, a number of cases that were positive by rapid diagnostic tests. But, also cases that were positive by tests done by growing the culture." The World Health Organization reports nearly 155,000 suspected cholera cases and 197 associated deaths between January and the end of August. Since April 2017, more than 1,200,000 suspected cases of cholera have been reported, including 2,515 deaths. Cholera causes severe diarrhea and dehydration. If left untreated, it can kill within hours. The WHO says most people recover with a treatment of oral rehydration salts. People who are seriously ill will need to receive intravenous fluids and antibiotics.

Taiwan Vice President Will Visit Vatican to 'Deepen Ties'

Taiwan Vice President Will Visit Vatican to 'Deepen Ties' Taiwan's vice president will visit the Vatican to "deepen ties" after the island's only official ally in Europe made a historic deal with Beijing, the Foreign Ministry said Tuesday. The announcement comes less than two weeks after the landmark agreement between China and the Holy See on the appointment of bishops, which paved the way for a rapprochement between the Vatican and the communist country. That raised questions over the future of official ties between Taiwan and the Vatican as China makes a concerted effort to poach the island's dwindling number of diplomatic allies. China sees self-ruling democratic Taiwan as part of its territory to be reunified and demands its allies forfeit recognition of the island. The Vatican currently officially recognizes Taipei, not Beijing. Vice president Chen Chien-jen will visit the Vatican on October 14 to attend the canonization of Pope John Paul VI, the foreign ministry said. The visit will include a private audience with Pope Francis and Chen will invite him to Taiwan, said vice minister of foreign affairs, Kelly Hsieh. Chen's trip would "deepen Taiwan-Vatican diplomatic relations", Hsieh told reporters. "The vice president will express his hopes that the Vatican will continue to pay attention to Taiwan, and also to continue to care for Taiwanese Catholics," Hsieh added. He reiterated the government's belief the Vatican would not "abandon" Taiwan. The last time a high-ranking Taiwanese official visited the Vatican was in 2016, when Chen also led a delegation for the canonization of Mother Teresa. Taiwan, which has around 300,000 Catholics, has lost five allies to Beijing in the past two years. Relations between Taiwan and China have deteriorated since President Tsai Ing-wen came to power in 2016, as she does not recognise the island is part of "one China". The Vatican has not had diplomatic relations with Beijing since 1951. Pope Francis has sought to improve relations since he took office in 2013, but previous attempts foundered over Beijing's insistence that the Vatican give up recognition of Taiwan and promise not to interfere in domestic religious issues. There are an estimated 12 million Catholics in China, divided between a government-run association whose clergy are chosen by the Communist Party, and an unofficial church which swears allegiance to the Vatican. Beijing has insisted that it had the right to ordain its own bishops, defying the Holy See, which says ordinations can only go ahead with the pope's blessing.

Giant Coal Plant to Close as Australia Faces Energy Shake-Up

Giant Coal Plant to Close as Australia Faces Energy Shake-Up One of Australia's biggest power companies says it will close a major coal-fired power station as it invests in renewable sources despite pressure from the government in Canberra to keep it open. "Run down, dangerous and expensive" is how an Australian newspaper described the Liddell power plant, adding that it was "the perfect symbol of the decline of the coal industry." The facility was completed in 1973 with an expected lifespan of 25 years, but it continues to generate power in a country that relies on coal to generate more than 60 percent of its electricity. The Australian government wants the plant to stay open for a few more years because of fears of power cuts and concerns about the potentially fragile state of the nation's energy sector. Two years ago wild storms damaged transmission cables, causing a black-out across the entire state of South Australia. Ministers are also worried about the political implications of household power bills that have soared in recent years. But energy giant AGL plans to decommission the facility in the New South Wales Hunter Valley in 2022 as it concentrates its commercial interests on renewable sources of energy, including solar and wind. The company insists its decision is economic, and not ideological. Brett Redman, interim chief executive of energy company AGL says that despite pleas from the government the Liddell power station will close as scheduled in four years' time. "Our strategy to exit heavy carbon-emitting facilities over the long term is unchanged," he said. "We continue in an operational sense to review our plans but there is no change at this point to the Liddell exit date. I have spoken to and I have met personally Angus Taylor, the new energy minister. I found that to be a very comfortable meeting where he understandably is very worried about power price on behalf of Australia's consumers." Australia remains heavily reliant on fossil fuels not only for domestic power generation, but also for economic reasons. It exports billions of dollars worth of coking coal, currently a key ingredient in the making of steel, and thermal coal, which is used for heat and power generation. Much is sold to China, and into Southeast Asia. Conservationists argue, however, that the coal industry is waning and that Australia should be vigorously pursuing alternative renewable sources. Despite Canberra's continued enthusiasm for coal, which in Australia is cheap and plentiful, Australia's energy mix is changing. There has been an increase in small-scale solar power generation, mostly through domestic rooftop panels and more consumption of natural gas.

Goon baiting

'''Goon-baiting''' is a dynamic interaction between the prisoner and the guard, or an oppressor, whereby the prisoner, aiming to ensure he is not endangered, 'plays mind games, or does actions, to confuse or enrage a oppressor to the point of where he'd lose his composure.' Goon-baiting was a term used in WWII.

In WWII, in [[Prisoner-of-war_camp|prisoner-of-war camps]], goon-baiting was used amongst prisoners of all nationalities. The French sung banned songs without moving their lips at Appell. Goon-baiting was described as 'playing mind games to confuse or enrage a guard to the point of where he'd lose his composure.' Not quite sabotage; it was an art form, and the aim of goon-baiting was to achieve maximum impact without endangering yourself. Though not all prisoners participated in goon-baiting. Some thinking it was bad manners, others thinking it gave any oppressor an opportunity, or more reason to retaliate, therefore it only brought with it more suffering.

Examples of goon-baiting was for one prisoner to be counted more than once in Appell, in order to cover for a missing comrade, or sow some confusion; exaggerated salutes...

==Etymology==
Some claim the roots of the term 'goon' come from a 1930's cartoon character called [[Alice the Goon]] and people also used the term goon to describe an incompetent professional bully. Tunstall claims a fellow prisoner called Bill Fowler was the first to ever coin the term amongst the prisoners and that Fowler referenced a well known comic strip.

N. Korea Rejects Idea of Peace Treaty in Exchange for Denuclearization

N. Korea Rejects Idea of Peace Treaty in Exchange for Denuclearization North Korea says it will not abandon its nuclear weapons program in exchange for an official declaration of the end of the Korean War. The three-year war that split the communist North and U.S.-backed South Korea ended in 1953 with a truce instead of a peace treaty, leaving the two sides in a technical state of war. The idea of a formal peace treaty has been floated during the recent flurry of diplomatic overtures between Pyongyang, Seoul and Washington aimed at denuclearizing the Korean peninsula. But the U.S. has rejected the North's demand for a formal declaration ending the war before the regime completely abandons its nuclear weapons program. In a commentary issued Tuesday by its official news agency, the North rejected the suggestion of a quid pro quo deal, saying a formal peace treaty "is not just a gift from a man to another," and added that "it can never be a bargaining chip for getting the DPRK to denuclearize," using the acronym to the regime's official name. During his speech to the United Nations last week, North Korean foreign minister Ri Yong Ho told the world body there was "no way" his country would unilaterally disarm as long as the U.S. continues to impose harsh sanctions on the regime. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and U.S. President Donald Trump signed an agreement during their historic summit in Singapore in June for the North to dismantle its nuclear program. But the two sides are currently at an impasse over North Korea's intentions in ending the program.

For Gaga, Cooper, Cast, 'A Star Is Born' Hits Close to Home

【Move to another page】
Quote
https://ift.tt/2y1Kr1Q
For Gaga, Cooper, Cast, 'A Star Is Born' Hits Close to Home When Bradley Cooper saw Lady Gaga perform "La Vie en Rose" at a fundraiser at the home of entrepreneur Sean Parker, it wasn't one of the important moments along the road to making "A Star Is Born." It was, Cooper says, THE moment. "She demolished the room," he recalls, still wide-eyed about it. "I knew that was plutonium." The next day, Cooper went to Gaga's home in Malibu to confirm that what he had seen the night before was real. He arrived hungry. Gaga — whose friends call her by her real name, Stefani — fed him some leftover spaghetti, and the two East Coast, Italian American-raised performers (Cooper is from Philadelphia, Gaga New York) felt an immediate, natural connection. "Instantly," says Gaga. "When I saw his eyes, when I opened the door." Within minutes, they were singing by Gaga's piano and "A Star Is Born" was, well, born. "And when I heard him sing! My God! I stopped playing the piano and I was like, 'Bradley you can sing!'" said Gaga, sitting next to her co-star and director. "And he was like, 'Really?' And then he said, 'Let's film it.' He started filming it on his phone." Cooper shakes his head. "It was nuts." It can be hard to separate the already mythologized transformations — Cooper directs! Gaga acts! — that fueled "A Star Is Born" from the fictional fable of fame, itself. In both the movie's creation and in the finished product are lessons of bold chances and artistic integrity, of personal frailty and popular success. "A Star Is Born" is a movie mirrored by its making. "A Star Is Born" is the fourth version of the story (or fifth, depending on how you count). First was George Cukor's "What Price Hollywood?" in 1932, followed by William Wellman's 1937 remake. Later came one with Judy Garland and James Mason in 1954 and one in 1973 with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. A new "A Star Is Born" has been in development for about two decades at Warner Bros., with various incarnations once planned around Will Smith and Whitney Houston, or Beyonce and Leonardo DiCaprio with Clint Eastwood directing. Cooper, who starred in Eastwood's "American Sniper," first discussed acting in the film for Eastwood before deciding to direct, too. For encouragement, Eastwood visited the set on the first day of shooting. "I remember he said he liked my boots," says Gaga. "I turned bright red." Cooper, though, put his own imprint on "A Star Is Born," retailoring the story and he hopes — launching himself as a writer and director. With meticulous preparation, Cooper — ever the student — threw himself into the new role. Often, he could be found under a table in a scene with a monitor so as to be as close as possible to the actors. "He was tireless," says Sam Elliott, who plays Cooper's brother in the film. "He never quit on it, from beginning to end. It probably drove the studio nuts at some point that he wouldn't quit on it." "Being 39 when I started this journey, I just realize: Time is the biggest currency. If I don't do what I keep feeling inside, constantly seeing shots in my head," Cooper says, trailing off. "I always knew that at some point I had to stop critiquing other movies and just make one." Cooper stars as Jackson Maine, a hard-drinking, country-rock 'n' roll star in the vein of Gregg Allman. (Maine's band is played by Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Neil Young's regular backing band.) When Jackson ducks into a drag bar for a drink, he's blown away by Ally (Gaga), who's there singing — what else — "La Vie en Rose." A naturally talented singer who has essentially given up on her music dreams, Ally has always been told her look (and her nose) isn't quite right. She and Jackson quickly fall in love, even as Jackson's drinking problem worsens, but not before they can together forge something honest and beautiful through music, catapulting Ally to stardom. "When I'm watching it back, I see myself as a much younger girl, more like when I was 15 writing songs at the piano," says Gaga. "What Jackson is trying to teach her is something that I still want to give more of in my music now and in the future. It's the nakedness of talent." A rare fervor has greeted Cooper's "A Star Is Born." Its trailer has been watched more than 10 million times, many of them repeat, misty-eyed views. And if there's one thing that accounts for its swoon-inducing power it's this self-empowering message of fame coming to those who are true to themselves. It's something that resonates for many in the cast, too, like Anthony Ramos, who plays Ally's best friend. The 26-year-old actor, who grew up in the projects of Bushwick, Brooklyn, caught his big break when Lin-Manuel Miranda cast him in "Hamilton." "I've had teachers tell me, 'You have to be this or you have to be that to be successful. You have to change the way you speak. You have to grow your hair out.' I've had people tell me all kinds of things to give me the formula for success," says Ramos. "But what I realize, which you find by the end of this movie, all you gotta do is love yourself and believe in yourself, and continue to be your truest self." For even the 74-year-old veteran actor Elliott, "A Star Is Born" has been cause for reflection on his own path. For decades, Elliott, with his sonorous drawl and trademark mustache, has been resolutely himself, in any role. "Nobody's ever going to confuse me with a chameleon. I'm just not one of those kind of actors," says Elliott. "Ben Johnson told me one time: 'I might not be a very good actor, but nobody else can play Ben Johnson better than I can.' And that somehow resonated with me. It was about character. It was about integrity. It was about what makes up the man." Gaga, who has rallied her fans ("little monsters'') around a message of self-acceptance, says she identifies equally with her character and with the more troubled Jackson. The pop star has previously been forthright about her struggles with mental health, and has said she was raped at age 19. "Jackson's plight in the film and his substance abuse, it really stays with me. The mental health aspect, the substance abuse aspect, the trauma aspect. I told Bradley right after we watched it in Venice that I had to take 30 minutes to myself in a back room somewhere," says Gaga. "If I act again, the experience has to be as deep as this one or it wouldn't be fulfilling to me." Cooper, too, says "A Star is Born" has altered him. "I find myself thinking of lines Jackson says often, just in terms of taking on a new project: What am I trying to say and how am I going to say it?" the 43 year-old says. "Any other project that comes after this, I just have to be brutally honest with myself and listen to Jackson." Ramos' success recently inspired his own older brother to — like Ally does in the film — quit his job and "go for it." After "A Star Is Born" opens in theaters Friday, more walkouts may follow, more stars ready to be born. "Everybody quit their job!" jokes Ramos. "Naw, not everyone can quit. We need some people working."

Trump Rallies in Tennessee to Boost Senate Hopeful Blackburn

Trump Rallies in Tennessee to Boost Senate Hopeful Blackburn President Donald Trump is back in Tennessee, trying to push U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn's Senate bid over the finish line. Trump headlined a high-dollar, closed-door fundraiser for Blackburn in Johnson City before appearing at a packed rally at the Freedom Hall Civic Center. Blackburn is in a tight race against the state's Democratic ex-Gov. Phil Bredesen, who, like other Democratic candidates across Trump country, has painted himself as a pragmatist willing to work with the president on certain issues. The Tennessee campaign is among several closely watched races expected to determine control of the Senate, and Republicans are desperate to defend a narrow two-seat majority in the face of surging Democratic enthusiasm. And the stakes couldn't be clearer. The rally comes as the FBI is continuing to investigate sexual misconduct allegations against Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh -- an FBI investigation that was forced by a small group of undecided senators who could sink the nomination. Trump earlier Monday disputed reports that his White House has tried to narrow the scope of the investigation and limit which witnesses the FBI could interview, saying he wants them "to do a very comprehensive investigation, whatever that means." Trump is planning a busy week of campaign travel, with trips to a handful of states including Mississippi, Minnesota and Kansas as he tries to boost Republican turnout for the midterm elections. Blackburn's contest, in a state that Trump won by 26 points, has drawn especially heavy interest from the White House, with repeat visits by both Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. Bredesen has tried to distance himself from the national Democratic Party, presenting himself as an independent thinker who will support Trump's policies when they're beneficial to the state. "I need to make clear to everybody my independence from all of the national Democratic stuff," the former two-term governor recently told The Associated Press. Blackburn and Bredesen are seeking the seat of Republican Sen. Bob Corker, who is retiring. Bredesen, who would be the first Democrat to win a Senate campaign in Tennessee since Al Gore in 1990 if he's victorious, has run TV ads in which he says that he's "not running against Donald Trump" and learned long ago to "separate the message from the messenger." He was holding an event in Chattanooga on Monday night that he'd hoped would be a debate with Blackburn, and he has been needling her for not agreeing to one. Trump, as he has in other states, is expected to argue Bredesen is not the centrist he says he is and will wind up voting with Democratic leaders including Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi if he gets to Washington. Blackburn, meanwhile, has stressed her ties to Trump, running ads that feature footage of his last rally in the state in May. "Phil, whatever the hell his name is, this guy will 100 percent vote against us every single time," Trump said at the time. Trump offered an early endorsement of Blackburn in April, tweeting that she is "a wonderful woman who has always been there when we have needed her. Great on the Military, Border Security and Crime."

Pew Survey: America's Image Worsens Under Trump

Pew Survey: America's Image Worsens Under Trump The image of the United States has deteriorated further among its traditional allies after a year in which President Donald Trump ratcheted up his verbal attacks on countries like Canada and Germany, a leading survey showed. The survey of 25 nations by the Pew Research Center also showed that respondents from across the globe have less confidence in Trump's ability to lead than they do in Russia's Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping. Since taking office in January 2017, Trump has pulled the United States out of international agreements like the Paris climate accord and Iran nuclear deal, cozied up to authoritarian leaders like Putin and North Korea's Kim Jong Un, and criticized his neighbors and NATO allies. In June, after a G7 summit in Canada, Trump refused to sign a joint statement with America's allies, deriding his host, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, as "very dishonest and weak". He has repeatedly attacked Germany for its trade surplus, low defense spending and reliance on Russian gas. Last week, when giving a speech at the U.N. General Assembly in New York, Trump drew laughter from world leaders when he claimed to have achieved more in his two years in the White House than almost any other U.S. administration in history. The survey showed that America's image, which took a big hit in 2017, Trump's first year in office, continued to deteriorate in many countries in 2018, particularly in Europe. Just 30 percent of Germans have a favorable view of the United States, down five points from last year and the lowest score in the entire survey after Russia, on 26 percent. Only 38 percent of French and 39 percent of Canadians said they had a positive view of the United States, both down from last year. Mexico inched up slightly to 32 percent. Faith in Merkel Highest The countries with the most positive views of the United States were Israel, the Philippines and South Korea, all at 80 percent or above. Across all countries, the U.S. got positive marks, with 50 percent saying they had a positive view, compared to 43 percent who were negative. Just 7 percent of Spanish, 9 percent of French and 10 percent of Germans said they had confidence in Trump's leadership. In 20 of the 25 countries surveyed, a majority said they had no confidence in Trump. Across all countries, an average of 27 percent of respondents said they had confidence in Trump. That compared unfavorably to Putin, on 30 percent, and Xi, on 34 percent. German Chancellor Angela Merkel was the only leader in which a majority of those surveyed, 52 percent, expressed confidence. French President Emmanuel Macron was just behind at 46 percent. Despite Trump's low ratings, 63 percent of respondents said the world was better off with the United States as the leading power, compared to 19 percent who preferred China in that role. Allies took a dim view of the Trump administration's position on civil liberties, with majorities in Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia and Mexico saying the government did not respect the personal freedoms of its people. Reflecting Trump's "America First" stance, substantial majorities in 19 of the 25 countries surveyed said the United States did not take their interests into account when making international policy. The survey was conducted between May and August, and based on interviews with over 900 people in each of the surveyed countries.
