send in requests <3

Imma start writing x reader fics again cuz I missed doing it. And I no longer like AO3 or wattpad for my works so imma post them here.

Quick introduction to me, you can call me Sawyer, I'm a minor. I go by any pronouns. I'm currently trying to read through all the Riordan-verse books which is proving to be very time consuming.

Anywaysssss here is what I will and won't write for

Will write:

one-shots

headcannons

Masc! Reader

Fem! Reader

GN! Reader

FtM! Reader

MtF! Reader

Platonic/Bff/sibling

angst

death

fluff

sibling reader

really I’ll write anything within reason

won’t write:

incest

pedophilia

toxic idealized relationships ( i.e. relationships where they cheat and abuse each other, but come back to eachother because theyre in love and they learned their lesson but they’ll likely do it again)

Abuse in general, its a tough subject for me so id rather no

suicide/ED

Smut

depending on what you request it may be out of my comfort zone to do.

to request:

explain your request as much as you like (i.e. Nervous Jason Grace X son of apollo reader, fluffy picnic date) just a basic gist of what you want it to be about or you can go in depth if you want specific things to happen.

Gerald Anderson Lawson (December 1, 1940 – April 9, 2011) was an electronic engineer. He is known for his work in designing the Fairchild Channel F video game console as well as leading the team that pioneered the commercial video game cartridge. He was thus dubbed the "father of the videogame cartridge" according to Black Enterprise magazine in 1982. He left Fairchild and founded the game company Video-Soft. At the age of 13, he gained an amateur ham radio license and then built his station at home with parts from local electronic stores bought with his money. He attended both Queens College and City College of New York but did not complete a degree in either. He joined Fairchild Semiconductor as an applications engineering consultant within their sales division. He created an early coin-operated arcade game called Demolition Derby in his garage. Completed in early 1975 using Fairchild's new F8 microprocessors, Demolition Derby was among the earliest microprocessor-driven games. He and Ron Jones were the sole African American members of the Homebrew Computer Club, a group of early computer hobbyists. He left Fairchild and founded Videosoft, a video game development company that made software for the Atari 2600 in the early 1980s, as the 2600 had displaced Channel F as the top system in the market. Videosoft closed about five years later, and he started to take on consulting work. He collaborated with the Stanford mentor program and was preparing to write a book on his career. He was honored as an industry pioneer for his work on the game cartridge concept by the International Game Developers Association. He was honored with the ID@Xbox Gaming Heroes award at the 21st Independent Games Festival for leading the development of the first cartridge-based game console. There is a display of his contribution to the gaming industry on permanent display at The World Video Game Hall of Fame at The Strong National Museum of Play. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/Cln6iN-rHUK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Diễn viễn Chris Hemsworth

Thor Odinson làm một nhân vật đình đám của Marvel Comics. Tuy nhiên, để khiến nhân vật này đi vào lòng người trong thế giới phim ảnh thì không thể không nhắc đến diễn viễn Chris Hemsworth. Cùng Gothamsite tìm hiểu về nam diễn viên này nhé!

Tiểu sử và đời tư của Chris Hemsworth

[caption id="attachment_683" align="aligncenter" width="1107"] 3 anh em nhà Hemsworth[/caption]

Chris Hemsworth là một diễn viên người Úc. Anh sinh ngày 11 tháng 8 năm 1983 tại Melbourne, Australia. Cha mẹ anh là Leonie và Craig Hemsworth. Chris có 2 anh em nữa là anh trai Luke và em trai Liam. Cả 2 người đều là diễn viễn giống Chris.

Chris học trung học tại trường Heathmont College - một trước ở Bắc Úc. Sau đó, anh chuyển đến sinh sống tại đảo Phillip.

Chris từng hẹn hò với Isabel Lucas - bạn diễn của anh bộ phim Home and Away. Cuộc tình của 2 người chỉ diễn ra trong vòng 1.5 năm từ đầu 2005 đến tháng 06 năm 2006. Không giống nhiều cặp đôi khác coi nhau như kẻ thù khi chia tay, họ vẫn giữ quan hệ bạn bè và cùng hợp tác trong bộ phim Red Dawn sau đó.

[caption id="attachment_685" align="aligncenter" width="634"] Chris và gia đình nhỏ của anh[/caption]

Anh gặp người vợ hiện tại, nữ diễn viên Elsa Pataky vào năm 2010 thông qua người đại diện của cả hai. Cùng năm, vào tháng 12, cả hai người đã kết hôn. Đứa con đầu lòng của cả là một bé gái sinh ngày 11/05/2012. Cả hai đã tên cho bé là India Rose Hemsworth. Hai năm sau đó, vào tháng 3 năm 2014, cặp đôi đã có thêm một cặp song sinh là hai bé trai. Hai bé được đặt tên là Tristan và Sasha.

Sự nghiệp

Chris bắt đầu nghiệp diễn bằng cách thử vai Robbie Hunter trong series phim truyền hình Home and Away năm 2004 nhưng thất bại. Tuy nhiên, anh lại được gọi đến để nhận vai Kim Hyde. Vai diễn này đã đem lại thành công đầu tiên cho anh.

[caption id="attachment_686" align="aligncenter" width="615"] Chris trong bộ phim Home and Away[/caption]

Sau đó, Chris chuyển đến Sydney để sinh sống và đóng phim Home and Away. Anh đã xuất hiện trong 171 tập của series này. Sau khi đóng series phim này, Chris đã nhận được 2 đề cử giải Logie và thắng 1 giải "Tài năng mới được yêu thích nhất" vào năm 2005.

Sau đó, Chris có vào vai George Kirk trong Star Trek năm 2009. Cùng năm đó, anh còn tham gia bộ phim kinh dị A Perfect Getaway với vai Kale.

[caption id="attachment_687" align="aligncenter" width="1445"] Chris trong phim Ca$h[/caption]

Trong bộ pim Ca$h năm 2010, Chris đã vào vai Sam Phelan - một thanh niên gặp vấn đề tài chính. Đây cũng là bộ phim đầu tiên anh quay ở Mỹ. Đạo diễn bộ phim cho hay: "Đây là một chàng trai trẻ, có ngoại hình đẹp, đẹp trai và diễn xuất tốt. Vì vậy, chúng tôi không thể bỏ qua anh ấy. Khi gặp anh ấy, tôi thực sự thấy ấn tượng".

Cùng năm, vào tháng 10, The Hollywood Reporter đã cho rằng Chris là một trong những diễn viên có tiềm năng để trở thành ngôi sao hạng A ở Hollywood.

Anh còn tham gia khá nhiều bộ phim khác như Snow White & the Huntsman, Red Dawn, Cabin in the Woods, Rush... Tuy nhiên, có lẽ nhân vật chúng ta biết đến nhiều nhất là vai Thor của Marvel Cinematic Universe.

[caption id="attachment_688" align="aligncenter" width="960"] Thor điển trai của chúng ta[/caption]

Vai Thor đầu tiên của anh là năm 2011. Để nhận được vai này, Chris đã phải tăng 9kg cơ bắp. Sau đó, anh tiếp tục đóng Biệt đội siêu anh hùng năm 2012 và Thor: The Dark World năm 2013. Năm 2015, anh đóng vai Thor trong Biệt Đội Siêu Anh Hùng: Đế chế Ultron. Năm 2017 là trong phim Thor: Ragnarok và năm 2018 là phim Biệt Đội Siêu Anh Hùng: Cuộc chiến vô cực. Trong năm 2019 này, Chris sẽ góp mặt trong Avengers: Endgame. Bộ phim sẽ được công chiếu vào 26 tháng 4 năm 2019.

Những điều bạn có thể chưa biết về Chris Hemsworth

Một số người sẽ biết anh với vai diễn The Huntsman, những người khác lại biết anh ấy với vai diễn Thor đình đám. Một số người thì lại biết anh ấy khi anh được đặt biệt danh là Người đàn ông quyến rũ nhất năm 2014. Tất cả chỉ đều nói về người đàn ông Chris Hemsworth.

Không chỉ điển trai mà còn có khá nhiều điều chúng ta chưa biết về anh ấy. Cùng tìm hiểu Đời sống diễn viên này nào.

'Cú ngược dòng vang dội'

Sau khi tham gia series phim truyền hình Home and Away, Chris đã được khá nhiều người biết đến và giành giải "Tài năng mới được yêu thích nhất". Tuy nhiên, sau 171 tập phim, anh đã loại bỏ khỏi chương trình và dù có đóng nhiều phim khác nhưng những bộ phim đó không thực sự đem lại tiếng vang.

Vai diễn khiến tên tuổi anh trở thành ngôi sao hạng A của Hollywood là vai Thor. Người xem sau đó chỉ nhớ đến anh ấy với vai diễn siêu anh hùng.

Vai Thor là vai diễn định mệnh?

[caption id="attachment_689" align="aligncenter" width="970"] Chris và nam diễn viên Tom Hiddeston trong phim Thor: Ragnarok[/caption]

Qua tìm hiểu, Chris sinh ngày 11 tháng 8 năm 1983. Hôm đó là thứ năm. Nhân vật khét tiếng của chúng ta Thor Odinson cũng ra đời vào thứ năm. Liệu đây có phải là định mệnh? Và Chris đã đánh bại Tom Hiddleston để giành lấy vai Thor.

Chris thích "In the Heart of the Sea"

[caption id="attachment_690" align="aligncenter" width="369"] In the Heart of the Sea[/caption]

Chris là một fan hâm mộ của cuốn sách Nathaniel Philbrick. Sau đó, Chris đã được nhà sản xuất Paula Weinstein gửi cho kịch bản của bộ phim cùng tên "In the Heart of the Sea". Chris đã đọc kịch bản khi đang tham sự bộ phim Rush năm 2013 và anh nhận lời đóng bộ phim này.

Trong một cuộc phỏng vấn, Chris cho hay: "Tôi không biết gì về vụ con tàu The Essex bị chìm. Nhưng khi đọc kịch bản, tâm trí tôi như bùng nổ. Tôi bắt đầu tưởng tượng ra những cảnh sinh tồn, dữ dội... Đó thực sự là một cuộc phiêu lưu tuyệt diệu".

Vấn đề cơ bắp trong đóng phim

Để có thể hoá thân giống nhân vật Thor, Chris phải tìm cách sao cho mình giống Thor nhất. Để làm được điều đó, Chris đã phải tuân thủ lịch tập luyện một cách nghiêm ngặt. Trong 6 tháng, Chris đã có cơ bắp như khi bạn thấy trên phim ảnh.

Tuy nhiên, khi tham gia bộ phim "In the Heart of the Sea", Chris lại phải làm điều hoàn toàn ngược lại. Anh phải giảm lượng tiêu thụ xuống còn 750 calo/ngày. Ron Howard muốn Chris diễn tả một cuộc sống dưới biển hoàn mỹ và cơ thể cồng kềnh như Thor không phải những gì mà Ron hình dung. Vấn đề giảm cân không hề dễ. Vì vậy, bộ phim này đã được quay theo trình tự thời gian để các diễn viễn có thể giảm cân tương đương với các nhân vật mà họ đóng vai.

Vai diễn đầu tiên ở Mỹ

[caption id="attachment_687" align="aligncenter" width="1445"] Chris trong phim Ca$h[/caption]

Vai diễn đầu tiên của Chris ở Mỹ là vai Sam trong bộ phim Ca$h. Đạo diễn bộ phim Stephen Milburn Anderson cho hay: "Đây là một chàng trai trẻ, có ngoại hình đẹp, đẹp trai và diễn xuất tốt. Vì vậy, chúng tôi không thể bỏ qua anh ấy. Khi gặp anh ấy, tôi thực sự thấy ấn tượng". Được biết, em trai của Chris là Liam cũng thử vai diễn này. Tuy nhiên, cuối cùng vai diễn đã thuộc về Chris.

Trên đây là những thông tin về nam diễn viên Chris Hemsworth. Hy vọng những thông tin này đã giúp các bạn hiểu rõ hơn về nam diễn viên này.

via Politics – FiveThirtyEight

Earlier this month, the Justice Department announced the arrest of Ron Hansen, a former Defense Intelligence Agency officer. Hansen is accused of receiving at least $800,000 from Chinese sources in exchange for information he learned from “military and intelligence conferences in the U.S.” and for sensitive technology that the U.S. government had banned from being shared with China.

Hansen is the fourth former intelligence officer — along with Jerry Chun Shing Lee, Joshua Schulte1 and Kevin Mallory — arrested for espionage or attempted espionage in just the last year. But one part of his story sets him apart: Hansen’s payoff — at least $800,000 — is more than the vast majority of people arrested for spying over the past few decades were paid.

Of course, we’re talking about spying here, so there’s only so much we know about these cases — even the spies who get caught are pretty good at keeping secrets, and the people who catch them are even better. But we can get at least a rough overview of how much spies get paid using two sources: the Defense Personnel Security Research Center’s research into espionage from 1975 to 2008, and its report from last year updating the data to 2015. For cases since 2015, we can use Justice Department press releases.

The data is incomplete, of course — it can’t tell us anything about any spies who weren’t caught or whose payout information was never made public — but all told, I identified more than 100 people who were arrested for spying or similar offenses since 1975 and for whom we can estimate how much they were paid.2 I then adjusted those income estimates to 2018 dollars, using the year the person was arrested to approximate the year that the payoff was made. It’s an imperfect method, especially for someone like former FBI Special Agent Robert Hanssen, who was arrested in 2001 but likely earned most of his money between 1985 and 1991. But people committing espionage tend not to keep meticulous details of their illicit income, so payment details are, for the most part, best guesses made from the publicly available data.

In any case (caveats aside), what does the data show? There was very little financial gain for the vast majority of people arrested for spying in the cases for which we have payoff data. Most people in our data set didn’t sell secrets so much as give them away: 56 percent got no known compensation for their actions. Another 9 percent were paid less than $12,000, not even enough for the average used car.3

Some people — such as Cuban spy Ana Montes — spied for ideological reasons and may have refused payment out of principle.4 Most of those who weren’t paid, though, were intercepted before they could do real damage — such as Brian Regan, an officer from the National Reconnaissance Office who intended to sell secrets to China, Iraq and Libya for $13 million but was arrested before he could carry out his plan.

Only four U.S. spies are thought to have been paid at least $1 million over their careers: CIA officers Aldrich Ames and Larry Wu-Tai Chin, Army officer Clyde Conrad and Navy officer John Walker.5 So Hansen’s alleged haul of $800,000 would place him near the top of the list in terms of income derived from passing secrets.

Unsurprisingly, most people arrested for espionage or similar crimes receive lengthy prison sentences regardless of whether they’ve earned lots of money — which they usually haven’t. Ames, Conrad, Hanssen and Walker all received life sentences, while Wu-Tai Chin died by suicide prior to sentencing. Regan and National Guardsman Ryan Anderson similarly received life sentences for unsuccessfully trying to pass secrets to Iraq and Libya (Regan) and al-Qaida (Anderson). In terms of its risk-reward calculation, espionage doesn’t seem like a good bet:

Of course, there are a few limitations to looking at spy data like this.

First and foremost, we can only analyze the spies we know about. There are undoubtedly many former and active spies out there that we may not know about for decades — if at all. The National Security Agency, for example, lists the code names of several assets6 discovered through VENONA — a Cold War project that aimed to decrypt Soviet cables sent in the 1940s — as either unidentified or having been identified only decades after their spying ended. One such asset was a woman code named “Tina” who the Soviets claimed in 1945 had made a “valuable contribution” to their efforts to steal the atom bomb, and it wasn’t until 1992 that British authorities learned she had been a secretary named Melita Norwood.

Another challenge is that it’s impossible to calculate any payments received by the handful of intelligence professionals who defected from the U.S. over the years. Edward Lee Howard evaded FBI surveillance in 1985 and made it to the Soviet Union after being fired from the CIA. Air Force officer Jeffrey Carney defected to East Germany in 1985, and NSA officers William Martin and Bernon Mitchell fled to Moscow in 1960. There’s no way of accurately gauging how much money or valuables those defectors may have received from their new host countries.

Finally, people who committed espionage on behalf of the U.S. may have made as much or more than even the $2.5 million (over $4 million in 2018 dollars) that Ames was allegedly paid by Russia. One former KGB officer was allegedly paid at least $7 million for a file with Hanssen’s fingerprints and a voice recording of him talking with the KGB, according to a book by David Wise.

And then there’s the case of “Asset X,” who led the CIA to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, according to a Senate Select Committee on Intelligence report released in 2014.7 The information that Asset X gave the U.S. government would have qualified him to claim much or all of the $25 million reward for Mohammed’s capture, and indeed Asset X’s case officer used the reward to motivate the asset to find Mohammed.

But Asset X is more the exception than the rule. Mallory, one of the four U.S. intelligence officers arrested in the last year, was found guilty in early June on charges including selling secrets to China for $25,000. During his trial, Mallory’s attorney argued that, “No one sells national defense information for $25,000. That is pocket change.”

As the evidence shows, however, many people have traded classified information for little more than pocket lint.

A new Brennan Center report shows an unprecedented amount of legislation seeking to restrict voting access has been introduced in state legislatures this year.

In 2020, voters turned out at the highest level in 100 years, thanks in part to expanded vote-by-mail. In response, state-level Republicans are introducing an unprecedented amount of legislation to restrict voting rights, according to a new report from the Brennan Center for Justice.

State legislators in 28 states have filed 106 bills restricting the franchise thus far in 2021 — and the overwhelming majority have come from Republicans. Compare that to last year at this time: Then, only 35 such bills had been filed in six states.

“We are seeing a backlash,” says Eliza Sweren-Becker, the report’s lead author. “Rather than going out and trying to persuade voters, we’re seeing legislators trying to shrink the electorate in order to ensure job security for themselves.”

The proposed legislation largely falls into two categories: bills that either increase the difficulties individual Americans would face absentee voting or that give officials greater leeway to shrink the voter pool. Some are attempts to roll back voting rights expansions necessitated by the pandemic; others are retreads of policies Republicans have pushed before, like expanded voter identification laws.

The passage of these laws will, essentially, depend on whether Republicans control both the statehouse and the governorship in the states in which they’ve been introduced — a reality in 18 of the 28 states. And while Sweren-Becker says their constitutionality would hinge on the way each bill is written and implemented, a lot of them have a decent chance at sticking around.

The news isn’t all bad: A whopping 406 bills have been introduced in 35 states that would expand access to voting, including permanently codifying the absentee voter policies that allowed voters in some states to cast their ballots early and remotely. Some states will consider both expansive and restrictive voting rights bills; which path the state follows will likely hinge on which party controls the legislature.

Tim Ryan Williams/Vox

At the national level, Democrats in Congress are pushing a number of voting rights bills. Last year, the House passed the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would provide for federal oversight in states with a recent history of racial discrimination in voting laws. On Thursday, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) reintroduced his annual Vote From Home bill with Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), which would mandate universal absentee voting — or the ability to vote by mail without an excuse — for federal elections and disallow states from imposing “additional conditions or requirements on the eligibility of the individual,” save for the postmark deadline.

“Last year we saw a widespread expansion of vote-at-home access as a safe and secure way to participate during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Blumenauer said in a release. “We should continue to make voting easier, not harder.”

At each level of government, the fight over the future of how America’s democracy operates is in full effect — and states are moving quickly.

What Republicans are trying to pass, briefly explained

State legislators’ proposals run the gamut from seemingly reasonable to downright offensive, but they all aim to lower the likelihood of a vote getting cast or counted.

Legislators have introduced bills in Republican-controlled Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, and Wyoming; and divided Alaska, Kentucky, Kansas, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania, according to the Brennan Center report.

They’ve also introduced them in Democratic-controlled Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Virginia, and Washington, though those bills are less likely to succeed.

Tim Ryan Williams/Vox

The bills contain a number of tactics to increase the individual cost of voting. With mail-in voting, three states would strengthen the excuse requirement — in Missouri, for example, the coronavirus would no longer be an excuse to vote absentee, while in Pennsylvania, a proposed bill would eliminate no-excuse absentee voting after it was passed with bipartisan support in 2019.

State legislators have proposed further limiting who can assist voters with their absentee ballots and adding cumbersome witness requirements, such as mandating witnesses to give identification information.

In Arizona, where President Joe Biden became the first Democrat to carry the state in more than two decades, Sweren-Becker said state legislators introduced a particularly egregious “voter-suppressive hat trick,” which restricts who can assist voters in delivering absentee ballots, requires all mail-in ballots to be notarized, and adds a voter ID requirement for returning ballots in person.

Legislators in 10 states introduced new voter ID laws, including creating them for the first time in six states.

In one particularly absurd example, Georgia Republicans want to require that absentee voters provide a photocopy of their ID two times throughout the voting process.

State legislators in Mississippi and New York are trying to require proof of citizenship when registering to vote, explicitly targeting noncitizens. And to increase the challenges associated with obtaining a ballot, legislators in four states introduced bills to cut election day registration.

Legislators are also trying to give election officials more opportunities to throw out ballots or purge voters from the rolls. According to the Brennan Center report, one common tactic is to make it easier for officials to remove voters from the permanent absentee list and throw out votes due to signatures mismatches — a measure introduced in Pennsylvania despite the state supreme court explicitly ruling that a mismatched signature could not be the sole reason for rejecting a ballot. Republican state lawmakers also want to increase poll watcher access to ballot-counting processes, move up ballot postmark deadlines or remove secretaries of states’ discretion in setting those deadlines, and allow officials to be more proactive in purging voter rolls, to the point of allowing practices that courts have deemed improper.

It’s an unprecedented deluge of bills, but it’s not coming out of nowhere.

The GOP’s proposed laws are directly tied to Trump’s election fraud lies

Many of the bills being introduced this year aim to tackle the very practices that former President Donald Trump decried as unfair while peddling various false election conspiracies — but enacting some of his preferred reforms might actually backfire.

In the dozens of lawsuits the Trump campaign filed and saw thrown out by courts, they falsely claimed that Biden only won due to the votes of noncitizens, illegally cast absentee ballots whose signatures could not be verified (conveniently only in counties Biden won), and ballots miscounted because Trump-friendly poll watchers weren’t allowed in to watch. All of these claims were proven false by recounts and in courts, where no evidence of widespread ballot fraud was found, and it was proven that poll watchers were indeed present.

But that hasn’t stopped state GOPs from seizing the opportunity to try to justify new restrictive proposals based on Trump’s lies.

“We are certainly seeing state [legislatures] take up the mantle of this voter fraud lie and use it as a justification to restrict access to voting, to essentially enact voter suppression,” Sweren-Becker said.

Though there’s a renewed vigor to the suppression efforts in 2021, the strategy is nothing new. As Emory University historian Carol Anderson explained to Vox’s Sean Illing, America has a long history of “conservative whites continually finding new ways to rob minorities of their right to vote.” In recent decades, that’s meant state GOPs have attempted to discourage traditional Democratic voters — most notably Black voters and immigrants — from turning out.

Trump’s court challenges and Twitter rants, too, were targeted at throwing out votes in the cities of states Biden flipped, such as Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Atlanta — all of which have significant Black populations.

I hope y’all understand Black voter suppression doesn’t stop on Election Day. It’s just going to get worse because they know what we did. @morethanavote ✊ https://t.co/Tl0g752kjL

— LeBron James (@KingJames) January 27, 2021

Trump’s issue with mail-in voting was conceptual, and he railed against it on Twitter and discouraged his followers from partaking in it. By following him on his crusade, state-level Republicans could be making the same mistake the former president did.

Historically, vote-by-mail had a nonpartisan benefit — it juiced turnout for both parties. Vote-by-mail did benefit Democrats more in 2020, but there’s no guarantee that continues to be the case. Last year, Trump discouraged his voters from taking advantage of it; his misinformation made it a partisan game. And considering his propensity for turning out new voters and low-information voters, making voting more difficult may mean his base could skip future elections where obtaining a ballot that Trump is not on requires more work.

So despite the rash of new restrictive proposals, there’s no guarantee these laws work out exactly as state Republican parties hope, if they even pass in the first place. But Trump is giving Republicans a whole new voter suppression playbook to work with — and as long as state GOPs follow his mold, restrictive voting bills are likely to feature prominently on their agendas.

Theatres have reopened but trade looks for ‘one pan-India film’ to change fortunes

Theatres have reopened but trade looks for ‘one pan-India film’ to change fortunes

Ever since cinemas reopened in parts of India as part of the unlock process, a few new releases — including Hollywood films — have hit the big screen. Trade experts say regular Hollywood popcorn flicks will not help bring the crowds back to theatres, nor will small Bollywood releases. A star-studded pan-India film would do the trick, with good marketing.

The Diwali weekend saw the release of “Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari”, starring Manoj Bajpayee, Diljit Dosanjh and Fatima Sana Shaikh. the film was the first new Bollywood release following the opening of cinemas after the Covid-19 lockdown. Although the film received a lot of support from the film fraternity, it could not excite the audience much.

According to a trade source, the comedy film could not even rake in a crore at the box office since its release on November 15.

Among other new releases was the Maisie Williams-starrer, “The New Mutants”. The horror-thriller superhero film released in India on October 30.

It was followed by the Robert De Niro-starrer comedy drama, “The War With Grandpa”, which had a theatrical release on November 13.

Hollywood film “Trolls World Tour”, with voices of stars like Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, Rachel Bloom, Ozzy Osbourne, Kunal Nayyar, James Corden, Ron Funches, Kelly Clarkson, Anderson Paak, and Sam Rockwell, hit the screens on November 19.

Trade analyst Girish Johar said all these films performed “below the mark”.

“The audience have not come to the theatres either due to the scare factor or maybe they didn’t find the content lucrative enough to take the risk. Hollywood films too haven’t done well,” Johar told IANS.

Talking about “Trolls World Tour” and “The War With Grandpa”, Johar said: “I doubt people will go for these films. They are typical Hollywood popcorn flicks. Maybe people in metro cities would have gone over the weekend, but the Covid cases are rising in Mumbai and Delhi, and audiences are aware of that. They are being cautious. I doubt they would take a risk for these films.”

Kunal Sawhney, Senior Vice President, Operations, Carnival Cinemas, shared that “Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari” has done better than the Hollywood films.

“We have seen a small growth in footfalls. It started with youngsters, now families are coming in. The number is still low, but we are seeing a gradual increase. Once the content is there, people will come back,” he told IANS.

While Bollywood films are yet to be announced, more new Hollywood movies will be playing at theatres in the country.

The Katie Holmes-starrer romantic drama, “The Secret: Dare To Dream”, has been scheduled for a release on November 27. Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Partners and Reliance Entertainment’s “Come Play” is set to hit theatres on November 27 as well. Hollywood star Gerard Butler will be seen in “Greenland”, which is set for a December 4 release.

Sawhney added: “There has to be good content with good marketing where people are aware that this movie is releasing on this date. Only then will the crowds be back”.

He is hoping a star-studded Bollywood film like “83” and “Sooryavanshi” can probably make people get out of the comfort of their homes and watch the movies on the big screen.

Not just Bollywood, even the more hyped Hollywood releases have stayed away. Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” might have opened internationally, but the film is yet to confirm an India release date. On the other hand, the other major film that has been lined up — Daniel Craig’s final James Bond act in “No Time To Die” — has been pushed worldwide to 2021.

“Other than Bollywood, once ‘Tenet’ opens, we should get more crowd. We have queries for the film,” said Sawhney.

Nolan’s “Tenet” is also special for Hollywood buffs here because the spy thriller has an India connect. The film, starring Robert Pattinson and John David Washington, also features Dimple Kapadia. Not just that, it was shot in India apart from the US, the UK, Denmark, Estonia, Italy and Norway.

“I think mentally everyone is waiting for January only. I hope we have an upsurge in activities by then,” said Johar, who feels that though the footfalls have been low, “one pan-India film would change everything”.

A sweep for ‘Schitt’s Creek,’ ‘Succession’ tops Emmy Awards | National News

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Schitt’s Creek,” the little Canadian show about a fish-out-of-water family, made history at Sunday’s Emmy Awards with a comedy awards sweep, something even TV greats including “Frasier” and “Modern Family” failed to achieve.

Zendaya, 24, became the youngest lead drama actress winner for her role as a troubled teenager in “Euphoria.” She’s only the second Black actress to win the award, following Viola Davis’ groundbreaking 2015 win for “How to Get Away With Murder.”

“I know this seems like a really weird time to be celebrating,” Zendaya said. “But I just want to say there is hope in the young people out there. I know our TV show doesn’t always feel like a great example of that,” but young people are out there “doing the work.”

“Succession,” a family power struggle over a media empire, was honored as best drama series, and creator Jesse Armstrong used the opportunity to offer “un-thank-yous,” including to President Donald Trump for what Armstrong called his “crummy and uncoordinated” response to the pandemic.

“Succession” star Jeremy Strong won the drama actor trophy for his role as a potential heir to the throne.

The virtual ceremony, with a hard-working Jimmy Kimmel as host, went smoothly despite producers’ concerns that the plan to link 100-plus nominees remotely could result in glitches.

Although the rise of streaming services including Disney+ and Apple TV+ dominates the TV landscape, it was Emmy stalwart HBO that stole the show, with winners including “Succession” and “Watchmen” making up for its now-departed awards giant “Game of Thrones.” ViacomCBS-owned Pop TV and its quirky comedy also proved unbeatable.

The awards for Pop TV’s “Schitt’s Creek” included best comedy series and trophies for its stars, including Catherine O’Hara and father-son Eugene and Daniel Levy.

“It is absolutely incredible. I think my dad said it best earlier this evening: it’s a dream you don’t want to wake up from, to be honest. What an absolutely unbelievable way to end our series,” Daniel Levy said backstage.

His character’s comfortable pansexuality led to story lines that Levy called personally “cathartic.”

In his acceptance speech, he said the sitcom was about “the transformational effects of love and acceptance, and this is something we need more now than ever before,” encouraging people to register and vote to achieve that goal.

Other winners, including “Watchmen” star Regina King, made a point that the Nov. 3 general election was near.

All the winners accepted their awards virtually in the pandemic-safe ceremony, including O’Hara, but she wasn’t alone.

“Though these are the strangest of days, may you have as much joy being holed up in a room or two with your family as I had with my dear Roses,” O’Hara said from Canada, surrounded in a decorated room by mask-wearing co-stars who play the Rose family members.

Levy called it “ironical that the straightest role I ever played lands me an Emmy for a comedy performance. I have to seriously question what I’ve been doing” for the past 50 years.

Moments later, his son won the award for comedy writing for “Schitt’s Creek” episode, then shared a directing award and captured the supporting actor comedy trophy. The supporting actress trophy went to his co-star Annie Murphy.

Daniel Levy thanked his father and O’Hara for an extended “master class” in comedy. The show’s sweep came for its much-acclaimed final season.

References to coronavirus were an ongoing part of the ceremony, with essential workers — including a teacher and a UPS deliveryman — presenting awards and Jason Sudeikis ostensibly getting a COVID-19 test onstage.

In a year with a record number of Black nominees, 35, there was a notable lack of diversity in the show’s early going. With “Schitt’s Creek” gobbling up comedy awards, that left acclaimed “Insecure” and its creator Issa Rae empty-handed.

That was also true of Ramy Youssef, creator-star of the semi-autobiographical comedy “Ramy,” about a young Muslim American’s love and religious life. Youssef tweeted a video of a haz-mat suit-wearing person clutching an Emmy and waving goodbye after Youssef lost the lost the comedy actor category.

There were signs of change with the drama awards, which came in the latter part of the ceremony, and Black actors ultimately won a record nine trophies. But there was a familiar pattern, with actors of color doing exceptional work in limited series but not finding as much opportunity in ongoing shows, with Zendaya this year’s exception.

“Watchmen” is a case in point. The graphic novel-adaptation, steeped in racial pain, was voted best limited series and King won lead actress for her work. She was showered by confetti as she accepted in an armchair, wearing a T-shirt that honored police shooting victim Breonna Taylor.

“This is so freaking weird,” said King, who regained her composure and called on viewers to vote and, backstage, explained why she wore the message shirt.

“The cops still haven’t been held accountable,” she said. “She represents just decades, hundreds of years of violence against Black bodies. Wearing Breonna’s likeness and representing her and her family and the stories that we were exploring, presenting and holding a mirror up to on ‘Watchmen,’ it felt appropriate to represent with Breonna Taylor.”

Her co-star, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, won the Emmy for best supporting actor in a limited series. Uzo Aduba won the counterpart actress award for her portrayal of Shirley Chisholm in “Mrs. America.”

Anthony Anderson, a nominee for “black-ish,” came on stage to make his disappointment vigorously known, saying the awards should have been “Howard University homecoming Black.”

“This isn’t what it should have been. … But Black stories, Black performances and Black Lives Matter,” he said, urging Kimmel to shout with him.

Tyler Perry, the actor turned media mogul and influential booster of African American talent, accepted the Governors Award.

Supporting drama awards went to Billy Crudup for “The Morning Show” and repeat winner Julia Garner for “Ozark.”

“Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” was again honored as best variety-talk series, with David Letterman announcing the award after being abandoned roadside by an annoyed ride-share driver.

Oliver joined the ranks of winners calling for Americans to vote, as did Mark Ruffalo, who won the limited series acting trophy for “I Know This Much is True.”

Kimmel opened the show with a monologue that appeared to be defiantly delivered in front of a packed, cheering theater — until it was revealed clips were played from past Emmy shows.

“Of course I’m here all alone. Of course, we don’t have an audience,” he said. “This isn’t a MAGA rally. It’s the Emmys.”

A minor gaffe marred Saturday’s virtual creative arts Emmys for technical and other honors, when Jason Bateman’s name was announced for a guest acting award that belonged to Ron Cephas Jones of “This Is Us.”

In the cumulative awards handed out Sunday and at the creative arts events, HBO was the leader with 30 trophies, followed by Netflix with 21, Pop TV with 10 and Disney+ and NBC with eight each.

CRAWFORD: WOLF PACK WEEKLY: December 9-15, 2019

BY: Bob Crawford, Hartford Wolf Pack HARTFORD, CT - The Wolf Pack (14-4-2-5, 35 pts.) swept three games in three days this past weekend, to move into a first-place tie with the Providence Bruins in the Atlantic Division. On Friday night in Springfield, in the last of five straight road games, the Wolf Pack rebounded from 1-0 and 2-1 deficits to score the last four goals of the game, in a 5-2 over the Thunderbirds. A line of Danny O’Regan (2-1-3), Vinni Lettieri (1-1-2) and Phil DiGiuseppe (0-2-2) combined for seven points in that game, as the Wolf Pack snapped an 0-3-2-0 drought. On Saturday night, the Wolf Pack improved their home-ice record to 9-1-0-2 in their return to the XL Center, knocking off the Binghamton Devils, also by a score of 5-2. Steven Fogarty struck for the Wolf Pack’s first four-point game of the season to lead the way, with 2-2-4, and linemate Lias Andersson added 2-1-3. Then, in a showdown with division-leading Providence on the road Sunday, the Wolf Pack got a goal from Patrick Newell 62 seconds into the game and never looked back, downing the Bruins 4-1. Lettieri scored twice in that game, and Newell also added an assist, for his first multiple-point game as a pro. For the latest AHL standings, click here.

305 US Climate Mayors commit to adopt, honor and uphold Paris Climate Agreement goals

STATEMENT FROM THE CLIMATE MAYORS IN RESPONSE TO PRESIDENT TRUMP’S WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT

The President’s denial of global warming is getting a cold reception from America’s cities.

As 305 US Mayors representing 61 million Americans, we will adopt, honor, and uphold the commitments to the goals enshrined in the Paris Agreement. We will intensify efforts to meet each of our cities’ current climate goals, push for new action to meet the 1.5 degrees Celsius target, and work together to create a 21st century clean energy economy.

We will continue to lead. We are increasing investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency. We will buy and create more demand for electric cars and trucks. We will increase our efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions, create a clean energy economy, and stand for environmental justice. And if the President wants to break the promises made to our allies enshrined in the historic Paris Agreement, we’ll build and strengthen relationships around the world to protect the planet from devastating climate risks.

The world cannot wait — and neither will we.

State Action

Senator Glazer does back gun control, does not think assault weapons are a necessary part of society. I agree with Glazer's position because guns are cowardly and there is no place for them other than in self defense or hunting. Yes, he has enacted legislation- SB 880, it relates to manipulation of gun reform.

AB-7 was introduced December 5, 2016

I support this legislation, there is no need for you to carry around a gun in your car. I mean what are you expecting to happen when your driving around to wherever you r going? Guns should be self defense and keeping one in your car is just suspicious.

The subject of the article is a school shooting at a San Bernardino Elementary school. The author is Jonathan Lloyd of NBC bay area news. The context is a recent event that the public should know about. The intended audience is for people who believe more should be done to stop gun violence, incidents like these make people hate guns more. The bias or perspective of this article is leaning more left than right politically. The significance of the article is to raise awareness of the tragedies that are happening around us that involve guns and further shows that guns are evil weapons. They should really be limited in use in our society. I definitely agree, more action needs to be taken otherwise more tragedies will strike.

A teacher and a student were shot dead and another child was critically wounded Monday in a murder-suicide inside an elementary school special needs classroom in San Bernardino, California. The suspected shooter was also killed.

The 8-year-old child was identified as Jonathan Martinez by San Bernardino police. He was taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center via helicopter where he later died.

The teacher was identified by law enforcement officials as Karen Elaine Smith, 53, Monday afternoon. The suspected shooter was identified as Smith's husband, Cedric Charles Anderson, a 53-year-old resident of the City of Riverside, multiple law enforcement agencies confirmed to NBC4.

Two children, including Martinez, were struck by gunfire behind Smith in the apparent murder-suicide shooting, according to police.

A Look at US School Shootings in the Past Decade

Police do not believe the children were targeted.

Police said Anderson came to the special needs classroom, comprised of first and fourth graders, armed with a .357 revolver and opened fire on Smith. He reloaded his handgun at least one time, and used the last round to take his own life, police said.

Teacher's Estranged Husband Opens Fire in Elementary School Classroom

Police say the man who opened fire at an elementary school in San Bernardino was able to get into the school because he said he had something to drop off to his wife. Patrick Healy reports for NBC4 News at 6 on Monday, April 10, 2017.

(Published Monday, April 10, 2017)

The children were inadvertently hit as they stood behind Smith, police Chief Jarrod Burguan said at a news conference. They were airlifted to Loma Linda University Medical Center. Jonathan did not make it to the operating room before dying, hospital officials said.

Monica Garcia, of the San Bernardino Unified School District, said the shooting appeared to stem from a domestic violence dispute involving Anderson and Smith, both of whom were found dead in the classroom. The marriage between the two was relatively short — less than two months long — prior to Monday's shooting, Burguan said.

The second student, a 9-year-old whose identity has not been made public, was in stable condition at the hospital.

"Our hearts are broken," said San Bernardino School District Superintendent Dr. Dale Marsden. "This is truly tragic."

Police first received a report of shots fired at the school at 10:27 a.m., followed by a report of an active shooter at the campus. It was not immediately clear whether the campus has metal detectors or other equipment designed to prevent weapons from being carried into the school.

"There was no indication the gun was visible upon his arrival at the school," police Capt. Ron Maass said at a news conference.

The school of about 600 kindergarten through sixth grade students was placed on lockdown as law enforcement and first responders swarmed the campus. Aerial video showed lines of students walking across campus recreation fields and basketball courts as authorities evacuated the school.

Parents gathered outside the elementary school, waiting to pick up their children and get updates on the shooting.

"Hold each other, that's all we can do," said a parent who spoke to NBC4. "I'm probably going to cry like a baby. I don't care, I just want to hug my child."

Another man said his daughter left her phone at home, leaving him unable to reach her for updates. He said he was relieved to learn his daughter was safe.

Police asked parents to pick up students at Cajon High School and urged them to bring valid IDs.

The San Bernardino City Unified School District's website has a list of resources to help parents and children manage their distress in the aftermath of a shooting.

Neighbors of Elementary School Shooter Speak Out

Investigators have been going in and out of the house of the teacher who was shot dead by her estranged husband at an elementary school in San Bernardino. John Cadiz Klemack reports for NBC4 News at 6 on Monday, April 10, 2017.

(Published Monday, April 10, 2017)

San Bernardino Mayor R. Carey Davis tweeted there would be a 6 p.m. vigil at Our Lady of Assumption Church located at 796 W. 48th Street.

"This is a tragedy, especially for young students, but school officials and law enforcement acted quickly to deal with the event. As we grieve for those who died or were injured, this is also a time to remind all California public schools to make sure they annually update their mandatory school safety plans," said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson in a statement released after the shooting.

United CEO Says No One Will be Fired for Dragging Incident

U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos also issued a statement:

"My heart and prayers go out to the victims of this horrible act and to all students and members of the North Park Elementary School community. I want to thank the first responders, teachers and school administrators who were there to protect the students in harm’s way. As a mother and grandmother, today’s senseless violence is a tragedy no parent should ever have to face. I ask everyone to join me in keeping all the victims and those impacted in your prayers."
