By this date, over 5,000 members of the caravan were staying at the Tijuana Stadium— a structure with a capacity of 3,000.

# US briefly shuts border crossing, uses tear gas on asylum seekers

San Diego, California - US Customs and Border Protection temporarily closed all vehicle and pedestrian traffic at the major San Ysidro port of entry between Tijuana, Mexico and San Diego, California on Sunday.

The agency made the announcement as hundreds of migrants and refugees marched towards the border in an attempt to put pressure on the US government to allow thousands of asylum seekers to enter the United States.

According to several journalists in Tijuana, US authorities used tear gas on migrants and refugees, including children, who approached the border fence near the El Chaparral crossing.

A small group breached the border, local media reported.

"To prepare for the possibility that additional groups would also break off from demonstrations for a possible attempt or attempts to rush illegally through the port of entry, CBP suspended operations at the port of entry," the agency said in a statement.

The port of entry remained closed for about six hours before being re-opened.

The developments on Sunday come as frustration grows in Tijuana over the slow processing of asylum claims by US authorities.

Thousands of migrants and refugees have arrived in the Mexican border city in recent weeks as part of a caravan, dubbed the Central American exodus.

Many have told Al Jazeera they are fleeing violence, poverty or political persecution.

More than 5,000 migrants and refugees have been cramped into a Tijuana stadium complex that is more than 2,000 people over capacity.

Rights groups have accused to the US government of stalling the processing of asylum claims, allegations CBP denies.

US President Donald Trump has sought to sow fear over the collective exodus by deploying thousands of US military troops to the border and giving them expanded powers, including the "ok" to use lethal force.

The Trump administration also implemented new asylum rules, which have been temporarily blocked by a federal court.

Under the new rules, individuals crossing the border between official ports of entry would not be eligible for asylum.

A judge last week blocked the rules from being enforced pending further hearings.

Prior to the border closure, hundreds gathered in San Diego to march in solidarity with the migrants and refugees in Tijuana.

The group, which included a collection of different rights organisations, accused the Trump administration of creating a "war-like atmosphere" against the Central American exodus in Mexico.

Holding banners that read "immigrants are welcome" and "money for jobs, not walls", more than 200 people marched towards the San Ysidro port of entry.

"As a mother, I understand that families have to be together," said 37-year-old Kelly Leon, who attended the march with her family.

"For me, it's clear that you don't just travel thousands of miles with your whole family, unless there is something that you [are really running] away from," she told Al Jazeera.

While Leon grew up in the US, her husband, 40-year-old Armando Leon, was brought by his parents from Mexico when he was a child.

"I think the majority of people in San Diego stand in solidarity with these migrants, that's what we hear around us," Kelly Leon told Al Jazeera.

"Especially from people who have families themselves."

Among the groups present at Sunday's march was Veterans for Peace.

Paul Ross, 74, who served in the Vietnam War, said he felt compelled to come to the border and make his voice heard.

"Latin America has had one dictator after the other," Ross told Al Jazeera.

"Almost all of which have had support from the United States, in the beginning, to work towards regime change.

The poverty and problems they have there now, have a history which we have to understand."

While holding a flag with Veterans for Peace written on it in combination with a logo with a flying dove, Ross told Al Jazeera he believed the current exodus of Central Americans is a result of the involvement of the US in affairs in these countries.

"Now these places have become very dangerous and problematic, so the people have no place to go any more.

Other marches in support of migrants and refugees were planned across the US.

A week before the 2018 midterm elections, the US Government sent 5,200 active-duty soldiers to the US-Mexico border to "harden" it with the 2,100 National Guard troops already present.
 On November 23, mayor of Tijuana Juan Manuel Gastélum declared a "humanitarian crisis" in response to the large number of migrants in the city.

## Podcast: David Koechner & Dave "Gruber" Allen on The Naked Trucker & T-Bones Show

Posted Sun, 01/14/2007 - 19:10 by Jesse Thorn

You may know David Koechner from his season on Saturday Night Live, or his work in films like "Anchorman" and "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby."

You may know Dave "Gruber" Allen from his part in the cult sketch series "The Higgins Boys & Gruber" or as the post-hippie counsellor Mr. Rosso on "Freaks and Geeks."

Together, these two have spent the last eight years honing "The Naked Trucker & T-Bones Show," a live stage variety show in which Koechner plays T-Bones, a demented redneck con-artist, and Allen plays The Naked Trucker, a trucker without any clothes on.

That stage show's been adapted into Comedy Central series which premiers January 17th.

We talked with Koechner and Allen about their long partnership and the new show.

He played a college football coach with the worst record in the history of the sport who vows to turn things around with his new team of ragtag recruits. He described this career opportunity as the "first lead for the right-hander." Veteran actor Carl Weathers played Koechner's rival coach. Though Koechner, who usually writes and improvises his material, had no involvement with the screenplay, he complimented director Tom Brady for taking "great care to make it as smart as he could", adding that it is a sports comedy rather than a spoof.
 On January 17, 2007, Comedy Central premiered "The Naked Trucker and T-Bones Show", a sketch comedy series starring Koechner (as T-Bones) and longtime performing partner Dave "Gruber" Allen (as The Naked Trucker). The duo performs their unique brand of off-color songs and introduces pre-taped skits. Many of Koechner's past co-stars made cameos, including Will Ferrell, Jack Black, Steve Carell, Andy Richter, Dax Shepard, and Paul Rudd. The pre-taped skits gave Koechner more screen time than Allen, often letting him showcase his comedic charisma alongside guest stars like Richter and Shepard. Comedy Central ordered eight episodes.

Aaron Lines' brand new album "Sunday Afternoon", which includes his latest hit single, I Haven't Even Heard You Cry, will be in stores March 16th.

The recently crowned "most played solo artist of the last decade on Country radio" says the new material is a reflection of his life right now, as all songs were written or co-written by Lines.

"As a songwriter, I only write songs that reflect what's going on in my life.

Everybody always asks me if this CD is different than all my other albums.

And the answer is 'yes', only because as the years go by my songwriting changes due to different life experiences."

The album was initially set to be released in September but was postponed due to the death of Lines' father.

"I realize now more than ever how fortunate I am to be playing music for a living.

Of all the great things music has given me - the chance to stay home and spend the last months of my dad's life, right beside him - is music's greatest gift at this point."

The video for the latest single, playing now on CMT, was shot in Tokyo, Japan during a recent tour stop of Aaron's and includes appearances from his wife and daughter.

"Sunday Afternoon" is released by On Ramp Records / EMI Music Canada.

By Chandrika Narayan and Natalie Gallón, CNN

Find out what's happening in the world as it unfolds.

Video footage shows the aftermath of Friday's helicopter crash in the Mexican state of Oaxaca.

(CNN)A military helicopter carrying officials surveying earthquake damage crashed Friday night in the southeastern Mexican state of Oaxaca, killing 13 people, Mexican officials said.

The helicopter was attempting to land at an airfield in Santiago Jamiltepec when it crashed in a nearby field on top of two vehicles, a spokeswoman for the Oaxaca attorney general's office told CNN.The

were all on the ground, spokeswoman Lizbeth Hernandez Bravo said.

Twelve died at the crash site, while one died later at the hospital, the state attorney general's office said.

Three of the dead were children, the office said.

The helicopter was surveying the damage from the quake, and was carrying Mexican Interior Minister Alfonso Navarrete Prida and Oaxaca's governor, Alejandro Murat.

Both men survived and only suffered "slight concussions," the Interior Ministry tweeted.

7.2 magnitude earthquake and a magnitude 5.8 aftershock -- both with epicenters in Oaxaca state -- struck the region Friday, the US Geological Survey reported.

southeastern MexicoMexican President Enrique Peña Nieto said the crash took place while the helicopter was landing.

"Unfortunately, people on the ground lost their lives and others were wounded.

My condolences to their families and my wishes for a prompt recovery to those injured," the President tweeted.

When addressing the helicopter crash on Twitter, Peña Nieto said there were no reports of fatalities directly linked to the quake and aftershock.

Efrain de la Cruz, mayor of Santiago Jamiltepec, was on the phone with CNN en Español's Mario González when the crash occurred.

"A helicopter carrying the governor and the others went down," he said.

"A helicopter is down, a helicopter is down.

"This can't be possible, oh my God."<div class="pg-comme

Alfonso Navarrete Prida (born 13 October 1963) is a Mexican politician from the Institutional Revolutionary Party who served as the Secretary of the Interior in 2018. He previously served as the Secretary of Labor of Mexico from 2012 to 2018. From 2009 to 2012 he served as Deputy of the LXI Legislature of the Mexican Congress representing the State of Mexico. Navarrete was on board the helicopter which crashed in February 2018 while surveying the damage done by the recent earthquake.


Igor Abuladze joined The Humans on their US and UK tour in 2011 in support of the album.

(meta data) TITLE: TOYAH & THE HUMANS — TOYAH

#### Toyah Willcox | Bill Rieflin | Chris Wong

### TOYAH & THE HUMANS are an innovative, three-piece, contemporary rock band comprising Toyah Willcox, Bill Rieflin and Chris Wong.

The group brings together three lifetimes of musical experience, experimentation and craftsmanship.

The band are the brainchild of Toyah Willcox.

### TOYAH & THE HUMANS were formed in 2007 after Toyah was invited by the Estonian ambassador to tour Estonia.

Highly experimental, the band reflects the distinctly different musical backgrounds and life experiences of its members.

This creative formation marked a radical departure for Toyah who comments: "The songs are deconstructed down to the bones of raw experience, exposing human nature and irony".

Dispensing with the conventional rock band line-up, the DNA of Toyah & The Humans consists of the voice (taking much more of a role as instrument) flanked by two bass players, with no designated drummer or guitarist.

Although recorded and live work can include programmed drumming, beats or guest guitar, the intention is to allow space for the vocal to sit above and alongside the soundscape rather than compete with the noise of a rock band.

### Before they had ever set foot into a recording studio, The Humans premiered their material in 2008 with a sell-out series of concerts in Estonia attended by the Estonian president.

These songs then formed the basis of their debut album We Are The Humans (2009), which was recorded in Bill Rieflin's homeground of Seattle.

Produced by Rieflin, the 10-song album was mixed by Don Gunn & Rieflin and mastered by Simon Heyworth (Tubular Bells, Brian Eno).

It was released in May 2009 to coincide with the band's return to Estonia to headline at 'Tartufest'.

Album highlights include the eerily, ambient Quicksilver, the majestic, Demigod and the live band-groove of Icarus.

Toyah & The Humans quickly carved out their sound as European experimental meets West Coast American grunge with overarching avant-garde and filmic qualities.

### The album received its UK digital release in September 2009 along with the band's first single, These Boots Are Made For Walkin', a provocative, 21st century twist on the Nancy Sinatra classic, featuring guest guitar from Robert Fripp.

This track was recently used by the BBC on their television coverage of the World Cup football final matches, reaching a substantial audience of worldwide viewers and listeners.

### Toyah & The Humans marked their first ever live UK appearances with a series of warm-up concerts in the very intimate and beautiful surroundings of St. Michael's & All Angels' Church and St. Anne's Church, Worcester.

These were followed up by dates across the UK, featuring special guest Robert Fripp playing live with the band.

### They also appeared on the bill of acts invited to perform at The Roundhouse for the Helping Haiti fundraiser concert.

The Humans tour culminated in a headline date at London's Scala, yielding a 4-star, review from the Financial Times who concluded it was an "intriguing, often terrific, show" with "programmed beats, sinewy, rumbling rhythms, a kind of twisted funk".

Their set included a presentation of the entire debut album, newly written songs and their unique interpretations of These Boots Are Made For Walkin' alongside the Hendrix classic, Purple Haze.

### TOYAH & THE HUMANS have dedicated time to establishing their sound, songs and performance.

Crystallizing what is at the core of Toyah & The Humans' manifesto, their second album Sugar Rush (2011) bears a cinematic density with stirring moments of exhilarating energy (Sugar Rush) tender contemplation (Love In A Different Way) and brooding soundscapes (Sea Of Size).

The album also features guest guitar on all tracks from Robert Fripp.

Igor Abuladze joined The Humans on their US and UK tour in 2011 in support of the album Sugar Rush.

### Toyah & The Humans released their third album, Strange Tales, digitally in March 2014 with live gigs in support of the album played in the West Coast of America April 2014 and across the UK in April 2015.

### — Strange Tales is now available worldwide at iTunes / Amazon / Spotify / Mail Order— Full Discography— Live at Scala London EP

### SUGAR RUSH ALBUM REVIEW / elsey Valadez

### The Humans' new 13-track album, Sugar Rush, is experimental, edgy in the simplest of ways, and nothing you can ready yourself for.

It's the musical equivalent of a drive through a part of town you've never seen, and just when you think you've got the area figured out, you pass a sign welcoming you to the nearby town with restaurants of a different vibe, and even the sky looks a bit different.

But don't consider driving back now, because you're on a one-way and the scenery stays intriguing.

### The opening track "Titanium Girl", is gritty, with even grittier lyrics.

Things slow down a bit on the second track, and steadily picks back up through "Sea of Size".

A lot of the album has a deep, almost dark feel with primal drums that are never too complicated, and grungy guitars, with unforgiving vocals.

But then the listener meets a track like "Put a Woman On the Moon", which features fast synth sounds, sounding like the soundtrack to a sci-fi movie about robots and space.

### Other than this, Sugar Rush is a constant shifting of dark grunge and slower-paced haunts between tracks.

Toyah Willcox's distinctive voice glides along each track in a majestic manner, while the album is carried by a consistent, prominent bass.

These may be the only constants to the album, as each track has its own individual tone, and they all maintain that tone from the start of the track to finish–like chapters in a textbook, each has its unique role.

### Sugar Rush has hints of a psychedelic sound with a grungy heart.

There is enough experimentation to keep things feeling alive and never stagnant, but The Humans never overdo any of it.

A hybrid of haunting and sweet, this album intrigues from start to finish.

The Humans are an art-rock band featuring two bassists and one, confusingly, is REM's drummer Bill Rieflin and Fripp on guitar.

Willcox, in a black PVC top, a memento of her 1970s punk roots, led the line with expressive vocals, twirling dances and stylised stage movements: Stevie Nicks meets Brechtian cabaret.

### The twin bass players, occasionally complemented by programmed beats, played sinewy, rumbling rhythms, a kind of twisted funk, with Fripp contributing a range of guitar effects, from gnarly riffs and a pounding cover of Hendrix's Purple Haze to delightfully subtle chimes.

On this basis the work of Mrs Robert Fripp and Mr Toyah Willcox, as Willcox introduced herself and her husband, deserves a far wider audience.

### SUGAR RUSH ALBUM REVIEW / earbuddyThe

Humans have made that record we might have gotten if Tori Amos and Trent Reznor had ever come together for a full album in the late-nineties.

### The band are a three piece, consisting of singer Toyah Willcox flanked by two bass players; Bill Rieflin and Chris Wong.

Toyah's smoky jazz hall voice lays over the driving bass lines which are then fleshed out with electronic effects, drum machines, and the occasional guest guitar appearance (Robert Fripp does a bit of playing on this record).

Sugar Rush is the group's second release, and it is a big one.

This record sound like it could have escaped from the John Cale archives.

### With the attitude of Tori Amos' best work (but not the raw emotion), Toyah's voice lays over these compositions that sound almost like Trent Reznor on The Fragile.

The result is a record that feels slightly out of time, and comes with the necessary incongruities that come from such a melding.

At times it feels like the vocal could have been recorded completely independent of the compositions and put together after the fact.

Regardless, the diverging sounds are interesting enough apart and borderline amazing when they find their way to each other.

Sugar Rush has the menacing and poignant feel of a jazz seance.

On "Pebble", one of the moments where the whole performance sounds as one, Toyah's voice flutters beautifully on top of a downright scary bass drive that could have been lifted from any of the last three Tool recordings.

### SUGAR RUSH ALBUM REVIEW / William Ruhlmann, AllmusicNot to be confused with other acts of the same name, the Humans whose second album is Sugar Rush are veteran avant-garde rock singer Toyah Willcox and bassists Bill Rieflin and Chris Wong, a trio formed in 2007 to fulfill an invitation Willcox received to tour Estonia.

### The singer-plus -two-bass-guitars line up may be unusual, but it is no more unusual than some of Willcox's other projects, and in practice, the music is augmented in the studio with other instruments, notably the guitar of guest (and longtime Willcox associate) Robert Fripp of King Crimson, who appears on every track of Sugar Rush.

Still, drums and drum programming are relatively minimal in music that nevertheless has a strong rhythmic impetus.

### It also has a strong flavor of the synthesized pop of the late '70s and early '80s as heard from such groups as Eurythmics and Yazoo, though Willcox is less angry a singer than Annie Lennox and less passionate than Alison Moyet.

She has an ethereal, disembodied quality, even when the music is at its most aggressive, such as on "This Reasoning."

The effect can even be mildly hum orous , as on "Sweet Agitation," which has something of a '50s rock & roll/doo wop feel.

All of this makes the group name "the Humans" somewhat ironic.

But it will appeal to fans of later King Crimson and some of the artier efforts of new wave rock.

"Sugar Rush" is a 2011 studio album by The Humans. It is the second album by avant-garde rock singer Toyah Willcox and bassists Bill Rieflin and Chris Wong, a trio formed in 2007. The music is augmented in the studio with other instruments, notably the guitar of guest (and longtime Willcox associate) Robert Fripp of King Crimson, who appears on every track of Sugar Rush.

Hrithik Roshan's Urdu teacher is all praise for his favourite student's passion to get his pronunciation just right.

Hrithik Roshan, who plays Emperor Akbar in Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodha Akbar , has been working hard to get his Urdu lines right.

Hrithik also takes his Urdu teacher, Kamaal Ahmed, to the dubbing studio so that his dialogues are perfect.

Hrithik, who has been learning Urdu at his home in Juhu, has been so driven about learning the language that he makes it a point to take lessons whenever and wherever he has some free time.

Our source says, "Hrithik has been learning Urdu from a teacher for some time now.

The teacher also accompanies Hrithik to the studio where the actor is currently dubbing for Jodha Akbar ."

Kamaal Ahmed, a native of Kanpur, confirms the news and says, "Yes, I am teaching Urdu to Hrithik.

Hrithik is my favourite student as he is very hard-working and a perfectionist.

He doesn't give up till he gets the pronunciations just right."

'Everyone knew how to ride a horse or fight with swords'

We rehearsed everything before we started shooting for the film.

Training for horse riding started a month and a half in advance at the Mahalaxmi race course, in Mumbai.

We trained all the actors, including Hrithik and Aishwarya.

After that, we started sword fighting training in Mehboob studios, in Mumbai's suburban Bandra.

We rehearsed with my fighters; then choreographed the fight sequence and shot it on camera, edited it and locked it.

That gave us an idea how each scene would look and how we would handle it.

We went on the sets fully prepared, so it was quite easy.

Everyone knew how to ride a horse or fight with swords by then.

I took 250 stuntmen to Karjat and Rajashthan.

The battle sequences were quite big, and it took a lot of time.

We would start preparing for the scene at 3am every morning, and would be ready for the first shot only by 7am.

Film career.:2003–2008: Revival and awards success.

 For his role as an enigmatic master thief in "Dhoom 2" (2006)—an action sequel co-starring Aishwarya Rai, Bipasha Basu and Abhishek Bachchan—Roshan won his third Filmfare Award for Best Actor. The film critic Rajeev Masand called him "the heart, the soul, and the spirit of the film", and praised his stunts, concluding that he "holds the film together and even manages to take your attention away from its many flaws." Bored by playing the "good guy", Roshan was excited to play a villain for the first time. At the request of the film's producer Aditya Chopra, Roshan lost 12 pounds (5.4 kg) for the role, and learned skateboarding, snow boarding, rollerblading and sand surfing. With earnings of ₹1.5 billion (US$19 million), "Dhoom 2" became the highest-grossing Indian film of all time, a distinction it held for two years. In the 2007 melodrama "Om Shanti Om", he made a cameo alongside several Bollywood stars.
 In 2008, Roshan was cast in Ashutosh Gowariker's "Jodhaa Akbar", a partly fictionalised account of a marriage of convenience between the Mughal emperor Jalaluddin Muhammad Akbar (played by Roshan) and the Rajput princess Jodha Bai (played by Rai). Gowariker believed Roshan possessed the regal bearing and physique required to play the role of a king.


He and his wife, Jennie, are buried in a cemetery in Hornersville.

(meta data) TITLE: Buster Brown's Grave, Hornersville, Missouri

RoadsideAmerica.comYour Online Guide to Offbeat Tourist Attractions

On our way towards two treats of Missouri's Mississippi, Throwed Rolls at Lambert's Cafe in Sikeston and To Be Throwed Fireworks at Boomland in Charleston, we detour south into the little hernia of land prolapsed out of the state's lower right corner.

In this flat fertile expanse we come to Hornersville, population 629, seeking the grave of Buster Brown, the midget.

A dusty database mention from twelve years back notes that a 70-year- old woman was then trying to erect a plaque at the grave of William "Major" Ray, who she described from her childhood meetings as "a small man with a squeaky voice."

Only 44 inches tall (and with 37-inch wife, Jennie, billed as "The World's Smallest Couple"), Ray spent many years in the late 1800's traveling with the Sells Brothers Circus before moving to Hornersville and opening a general store which sold, among other items, Buster Brown shoes.

For some reason, the then 40-year-old Ray was able to convince Buster Brown's top brass that he would a better person to portray the company's child icon than a real child.

His bulldog became Tige, Buster Brown's dog who lived in a shoe with him.

Ray became a celebrity at the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904 (the same fair that introduced hot dogs, which by odd coincidence, also became linked to a midget hawker), then finally retired back to the Hornersville area, and died in 1936.

We do not know whether or not the 70-year-old woman succeeded in her quest, and we pull up to the town's current general store to find out.

"We heard that Buster Brown is buried in Hornersville."

The cashier and her three customers look at each other.

After a few more moments, the cashier asks the others, "Well, what's the name of the midget we do have buried here?

"Me, too, its just a mile southwest of town."

Her grave is topped with what appears to be a life-sized statue of her with angel wings, holding a bible.

Ray's gravestone is more modern looking, probably the result of the effort a decade past, and etched into the granite is Ray, a forty year old man dressed in Buster Brown kid clothes, with Tige sitting next to him.

 A limited amount of livestock is raised. In contrast to much of the rest of Missouri, there are few fences.
 No large cities are located in the Bootheel. Sizable towns include Kennett, the birthplace of singers Sheryl Crow, David Nail, and Trent Tomlinson; and Sikeston, the birthplace of professional athletes James Wilder, Brandon Barnes, and Blake DeWitt. Sikeston's city limits fall within both Scott County and New Madrid County. Cape Girardeau and Poplar Bluff are often considered to be part of the Bootheel due to the influence the two cities have had on the development of the region, but neither is located within its geographic boundaries.
 Hornersville, a small town in southern Dunklin County, was home to William H. "Major" Ray, a one-time 19th-century circus "midget".   He later became known as the representative of the Buster Brown shoe brand.


In 2014, Giamatti played villain The Rhino in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2".

# Paul Giamatti in Talks to Play The Rhino in 'Spider-Man 2' (Exclusive)

Felicity Jones also is in negotiations to join the Sony sequel.

Paul Giamatti is in talks to join The Amazing Spider-Man 2 as the villain known as The Rhino, and Felicity Jones is negotiating for an unspecified role.

The duo would bolster an already impressive cast.

Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are back as Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy, Jamie Foxx is portraying bad guy Electro, Shailene Woodley is Mary Jane Watson, and Dane DeHaan is Harry Osborne.

PHOTOS: Spider-Man's 50-Year History: How Peter Parker Became a Billion-Dollar Franchise

The Rhino first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #41 in 1966 as a thug from a Soviet Bloc country who wore a superhuman suit that made him invulnerable while giving him superstrength and superspeed.

In more recent comics, he became a sympathetic figure who found himself allying with Spider-Man.

The character Jones would play has not been revealed.

The role is a dream part for Giamatti, who in the past has said The Rhino was one of his favorite characters when he was a boy.

"I thought Rhino was the greatest thing when I was a little kid," he told Collider in March 2011.

"It was a guy who was basically in this rhinoceros outfit, and I always thought, 'Why don't they have The Rhino in one of their movies.'

But maybe The Rhino wasn't that big of a deal for anybody but me. …

If they ever go with The Rhino, I would be ready and waiting."

Around the same time, he also talked about the character on Conan: "The Rhino was fantastic," he said.

He was real fast, and he hit stuff real hard."

The sequel, being directed by Marc Webb, is eyeing a February production start.

Giamatti most recently appeared in Rock of Ages and is shooting the JFK drama Parkland with Zac Efron and Jacki Weaver.

He is repped by UTA, Kipperman Management and Sloane Offer.

British actress Jones might be best known for starring in the 2011 Sundance darling Like Crazy and also appeared in Hysteria, the period romantic comedy about the invention of the vibrator.

She is repped by WME and Jodi Peikoff Law.

These vessels may work day trips or month long voyages.

Normally the vessels are powered by engines but the use of sails is also common in trolling operations as the vessel is making way when fishing.

In many tropical areas, trolling is conducted by sailing canoes, usually having outriggers for stability.

Using a properly designed vessel, trolling can be an economical and efficient way of catching tunas, mackerel and other pelagic fish swimming close to the surface.

Vessel ClassLength<30 meters (LOA) PowerallTonnageall (GRT in register tons)

Deck ArrangementAccording to area of operation, vessels laid out with wheelhouse and mast in most cases forward.

Catch Handling and Processing EquipmentAll.

EquipmentDeck EquipmentUndecked canoes may have no equipment or only a hand cranked reel.

Purpose built trollers are usually equipped with two or four trolling booms which are raised and lowered by topping lifts and held in fishing position by adjustable stays.

Hydraulic or electrically powered reels (gurdies) are frequently used to haul in the lines.

Fish Detection EquipmentNo specific fish detection equipment is required for trolling.

Visual scouting to detect fish aggregation areas such as floating weed lines is a very common practice.

Comments/inquiriesSite mapLogine-Bulletin© FAO, 2019powered by FIGIS Logon name:

 Chilean jack mackerel are the most commonly fished nonscombroid mackerel, fished as heavily as chub mackerel.  The species has been overfished, and its fishery may now be in danger of collapsing.
 Smaller mackerel behave like herrings, and are captured in similar ways. Fish species like these, which school near the surface, can be caught efficiently by purse seining. Huge purse-seine vessels use spotter planes to locate the schooling fish. Then they close in using sophisticated sonar to track the shape of the school, which is then encircled with fast auxiliary boats that deploy purse seines as they speed around the school. Suitably designed trollers can also catch mackerels effectively when they swim near the surface. Trollers typically have several long booms which they lift and drop with "topping lifts".

The Paul Birdsall Prize in European Military and Strategic History was established in 1985 by a generous gift from Professor Hans Gatzke, who remained anonymous until his death.

Paul Birdsall (d. 1970) was a historian of European diplomatic and military affairs and a foreign service officer.

The Birdsall Prize is awarded biennially for the most important work published in English on European military or strategic history since 1870.

Preference will be given to the international aspects of military history (military/diplomatic), but the impact of technological developments, strategic planning, and military events on society—political, economic, social—will also qualify.

Purely technical studies, divorced from historical context, will not.

Preference will be given to early-career academics, but established scholars and nonacademic candidates will not be excluded.

Books published in English and bearing a copyright of 2018 or 2019 are eligible for the 2020 prize.

Nomination submissions may be made by an author or by a publisher.

Publishers may submit as many entries as they wish.

Authors or publishers may submit the same book for multiple AHA prizes.

Nominators must complete an online prize submission form for each book submitted.

One copy of each entry must be sent to each committee member and clearly labeled "Birdsall Prize Entry."

Print copies preferred unless otherwise indicated.

If only e-copy is available, please contact review committee members beforehand to arrange submission format.

Please Note: Entries must be received by May 15, 2020, to be eligible for the 2020 competition.

Recipients will be announced on the AHA website in October 2020 and recognized during a ceremony at the January 2021 AHA annual meeting in Seattle.

For questions, please contact the Prize Administrator.

The review committee contact information and prize submission form will be posted by March 1 for submissions due May 15.

Tarak Barkawi, London School of Economics Soldiers of Empire: Indian and British Armies in World War II (Cambridge Univ. Press)

Tarak Barkawi's Soldiers of Empire examines the composition, training, combat performance, and politics of the British Indian Army in the Second World War.

This thought-provoking and elegantly written study blends history and sociology to ask fundamental questions about empires, military cohesion, and the relationship between war and social change.

Barkawi's work is theoretically rich and based on empirical data from a wealth of sources.

Lucid and informative, this book pushes us toward a global history of war.

London: Radio 4 is developing ideas based on a story written by Peter Ackroyd, novelist and chronicler of the capital.

BBC Radio 4 is to co-produce its first ever feature film, MediaGuardian.co.uk can reveal.

The station's drama department is embarking on the multimedia project about London, called City Speaks, to culminate in a premiere at London's 3-D IMAX cinema.

It will be the network's first serious attempt to harness images to radio content, working in collaboration with the Arts Council of England and film agency Film London.

Overseen by director and producer Conor Lennon, the network is currently developing ideas based on a story written by Peter Ackroyd, the celebrated novelist, biographer and chronicler of London.

The story concerns the discovery of a 1,000-year-old prophecy about a vision of the Virgin Mary discovered by altar boys in a London church.

The station will produce two 45-minute radio dramas responding to the themes of the story, each containing three "playlets".

The playlets will be scripted by six different young writers - Michael Walker, Nick Warburton, Alison Joseph, Lin Coghlin, Mark Norfolk and Mehrdad Seyf - and overseen by six separate directors.

From this material, six film-makers will make six films which then be melded together into one larger single film.

The film-markers include short film specialist William Raban and relative newcomer Alnoor Dewshi and were assembled by Maggie Ellis, the head of production at Film London.

The 90-minute film will get its premiere at the IMAX cinema in London's Waterloo.

The idea is then to show it in cinemas across Britain, according to the Radio 4 commissioner for drama, Jeremy Howe.

Mr Howe said the project may also involve collaboration with "other TV channels within the BBC" and will be part of a London season on Radio 4, probably in Febraury 2008.

"It is non-narrative film making and the workshops have so far produced some stunning ideas with people working in completely different ways but all joined up," Mr Howe said.

"We are getting radio writers who don't often work with film-makers working with film-makers who rarely work with writers and we hope the result will be sensational.

"Already there has been more heat and light coming from the workshops than you could imagine."

Mr Lennon said the project aimed to invert the relationship between sound and vision and provide a "vision track" to the spoken material.

When it is broadcast, Radio 4 will have a red button service for digital TV transmission enabling viewers to see the visual material, the first time the station has shown a feature-style film to accompany spoken material.

"Radio is very excited about introducing visual material because of new technology," Mr Lennon said.

"In Korea they are developing Eye River radio sets which can transmit images to accompany the sound and Radio 4 wants to be a part of this multiplatform revolution."

From June 2004 until October 2007 Lennon was Radio Drama Producer for Special Projects at BBC. He was tasked with creating new forms of audio-visual and online content in association with the Arts Council and Film London and collaborations with European broadcasters, won a European Broadcasting Union (EBU) competition to create and execute a collaborative drama project and developed outreach projects in schools and community organisations through setting up a collaborative creative audio portal for students.


Early 2015 saw the Labour lead continue to fall, disappearing by the start of March.

Populus (12/3) – CON 29%, LAB 32%, LDEM 8%, UKIP 18%, GRN 6%

After two months of very little movement there is finally some sign of a shift.

YouGov's daily poll seems to have flipped over into showing a Tory lead – four of their five polls this week showed a Conservative lead.

Populus is still showing a Labour lead, as did the monthly Ipsos MORI poll this week, but it's the underlying trends that count and, for now at least, the UKPR polling average puts the Tories into a tiny lead – CON 33%(nc), LAB 32%(-2), LDEM 7%(nc), UKIP 15%(nc), GRN 6%(nc).

YouGov also produced Scottish and Welsh polls this week.

The Welsh polling is here, and had topline Westminster figures of CON 25%, LAB 39%, LDEM 5%, Plaid 10%, UKIP 14%.

The Scottish polling is here and has topline figures of CON 18%, LAB 27%, LDEM 4%, SNP 46%, UKIP 2%.

The SNP lead is down two points since the previous YouGov Scottish poll at the start of February, but remains at a formidable 19 points.

The Scottish poll also included some questions designed to tease out how effective Labour attempts to fight the SNP with a "vote SNP get Tory" sort of message.

Essentially, for such an approach to work SNP voters would need to believe that returning SNP MPs really would make a Tory government more likely, would need to think a Conservative government was significantly worse than the alternative and would need to consider avoiding a Tory government as more important to them than the opportunity of returning lots of SNP MPs.

All of these requirements are quite weakly represented amongst SNP voters – only 27% of SNP voters buy the argument that more SNP MPs will make a Conservative government more likely and while 38% of SNP voters think a Labour government at Westminster would be better for Scotland than a Tory one, only 15% think there's "much" difference, and 49% think there's little difference at all.

Finally, even if SNP voters did think that returning SNP MPs would make a Tory government more likely, by 46% to 31% they'd rather have a Tory government and lots of SNP MPs than a Labour government and not many.

The debate debate was still rolling at the start of the week, but has thankfully now faded out a bit.

The rival bid to host the debates online by the Guardian, Telegraph & Youtube have said they they would host a five way debate before the end of March, so meeting David Cameron's demands on timing.

Otherwise there has been no further progress

There was debate earlier in the week about whether the government should commit to the NATO target of 2% spending on defence.

YouGov asked about Defence spending last month and found 49% think we should spend more on defence, 16% less and 20% about the right amount.

Defence spending is an interesting subject as it does at least divide opinion.

Most spending issues are really one way streets – the vast majority of the public think spending on things like the NHS, policing and education is a good thing and would like more of it, it's just a case of what governments can afford and how they fund it.

Equally opinion polls asking what should be priority for cuts always find overseas aid top of the list.

Defence is one of those few issues where there is both a significant chunk of people who think spending money on it is a bad thing that should be cut, and a significant chunk of people who think it is a good thing that should be protected.

Nigel Farage got into a row over discrimination laws – appearing to say that UKIP would repeal discrimination laws, but later saying he meant only laws on discriminating on the grounds of nationality.

When it comes to discrimination on grounds of nationality, I expect we will find most people agreeing with Nigel Farage – there has not been any polling on what he said yet, but looking back YouGov found in 2011 that 51% of people thought companies should prioritise British workers, even if there are better qualified foreign workers.

What may be less good for UKIP is if the political row around Farage's statement damages the party's already somewhat shakey image on racism – last month ComRes found 44% of people agreed with the statement that UKIP were racist, up from 32% last year.

By the end of the week the main political issue appeared to be how many kitchens Ed Miliband has.

I think it's fair to say that's the sign it hasn't really been a huge news week.

The budget is on Wednesday, one of the few big set pieces we've got before the election that we can reasonably assume most people really will notice, and which does have the possiblity to actually shift votes.

As I say most years, people are often too ready to assume that the budget is an opportunity for the Chancellor, when often it's a bullet to be dodged – there are plenty of instances of budgets damaging a government and not that many of them providing a real boost.

Nevertheless, the timing means this is likely to be an extremely political budget and we shall see if it has any effect

come on…we are better than that…surely!?

there were quite extensive boundary changes between 2005 and 2010.

scotland, for example, lost more than seats…

On the top left of this page is Anthony's Election Guide.

Behind that there is a list of battleground constituencies for each party, starting with the smallest swing needed to win the seat.

If you click on the Lab and Tory battleground seats you'll get a good indication of where those seats could go.

What's noticeable, even by me, is that the target seat lists table does not include a section for SNP and nor for UKIP?

I also noticed that the payback above a 5% swing to Labour is very poor for them.

One poll does not make a victory; many twists and turns ahead."

And there was me thinking it was all over.

It's a good job you're here, Chris, to put me right.

To those who have commented that the YG Scotland poll should have given a third preference choice to SNP voters, of having in May a large number of SNP MPs together with a Labour government, there was no point in YG asking about an impossible situation.

On May 8th, and subsequently, a Labour government supported by a large number of SNP MPs is a highly likely outcome, and no amount of bluster will discount that option.

I see Ross Skye & Lochaber is their 3rd safest – so forget what I said about Lib Dems keeping their 5 safest seats.

I am going to go through and apply UNS with Lib Dems on 8% and see which party gains most.

I think you may be missing the point about why they did not give that option.

"The Scottish poll also included some questions designed to tease out how effective Labour attempts to fight the SNP with a "vote SNP get Tory" sort of message"

They deliberately did not give that option as they were testing what people would do in a squeeze to see if the current Labour messaging was likely to work or not.

Thanks, I talk to myself here, to keep calm and carry on.

Level pegging in England; so a 5.7% swing being posited

The Lib Dems are contesting over 600 seats.

If they get ~5% in the ones where they are not competitive, it's entirely possible for them to get 45% in the ones they're defending and still have a national average of 7%.

Obviously in real life it's going to be much more patchy than that and I think the Lib Dems are massively over-optimistic about their chances, but the point is, their terrible national polling doesn't necessarily mean they'll have a problem winning seats.

The swings required for Ukip to win any seats other than the 2 the currently have are huge.

I agree that when AW compiled the lists he did not envisage the SNP position at this stage to be as strong as it is today.

They also need huge swings for most Lab seats but are likely to achieve at least some of those huge swings.

It's also the client (in this case the Times) who decide the questions – not the pollster.

Do we get a YouGov/Sunday Times poll tonight as well?

After last week's freak results, you cannot argue that we're not good neighbours.

Talk at the Labour spring event at the ICC was of little else.

Reversion, MOE, or a slight move back to the figures wecwere getting the last few months?

Doubtless YouGov asked the questions their paymaster [the Thunderer] told them to ask.

A Lab minority government with SNP C&S is still one of the more probable outcomes in May, whether Lab get 0 or 40 Scottish seats.

Richard – I did wonder when anyone was actually going to bother reading the explanation for it! ;)

I don't normally predict polling results, but I deduced, from AW's round up,that tonight's YG ST poll has a Con lead.

As he knew what this poll contains, when he wrote it on Friday evening, any Labour lead would have moderated the tone of that report just a tinge, I would assume.

We will see how well he has stonewalled later.

We used to have a contributor Tinged Fringe. .

"Do we get a YouGov/Sunday Times poll tonight as well?"

We do – and not only that, tomorrow you get my exciting summary of the last 3 weeks YG & Populus polling in Scotland as well! (saying just what it did last week, and the week before, and …..)

It is amazingly kind of YouGov and the Times to pay for questions to help LiS determine whether their strategy is working.

There was also a question on the NHS which is devolved but has been the subject of a LiS campaign.

It's right here: http://ukpollingreport.co.uk/2015guide/region_scotland/ ;)

Thanks to those who put me right on who sets the questions in YG polls commissioned by newspapers.

And to Richard, I comment that I did read AW`s paragraphs on Scottish polling.

But I felt he didn`t bring out the significance of the 31% who preferred not to have a large number of MPs of the party they were intending voting for.

Surely it is very unusual for a third of a party`s supporters two months before a GE not to want that party to win as many seats as possible.

I'd have thought Roger Mexico would have read it too – hence me being baffled by his sneering & calling me "silly" for picking up on Anthony's ATL comment.

Shifting some of that 31% from SNP to Labour could be key to the 2015 GE.

Following this, Labour's lead over the Conservatives began to fall as UKIP gained support from them as well, and by the end of the year Labour were polling at 39%, compared to 33% for the Conservative Party and 11% for UKIP.
 UKIP received 26.6% of the vote at the European elections in 2014, and though their support in the polls for Westminster never reached this level, it did rise up to over 15% through that year. 2014 was also marked by the Scottish independence referendum. Despite the 'No' vote winning, support for the Scottish National Party rose quickly after the referendum, and had reached 43% in Scotland by the end of the year, up 23 points from the 2010 general election, largely at the expense of Labour (−16 points in Scotland) and the Liberal Democrats (−13 points). In Wales, where polls were less frequent, the 2012–2014 period saw a smaller decline in Labour's lead over the second-placed Conservative Party, from 28 points to 17. These votes went mainly to UKIP (+8 points) and Plaid Cymru (+2 points). The rise of UKIP and SNP, alongside the smaller increases for Plaid Cymru and the Green Party (from around 2% to 6%) saw the combined support of the Conservative and Labour party fall to a record low of around 65%. Within this the decline came predominantly from Labour, whose lead fell to under 2 points by the end of 2014. Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrat vote, which had held at about 10% since late 2010, declined further to about 8%.


Would his comeback have been successful, he would have been 52 years old when riding the race.

# Should Andrea Tafi return to Paris-Roubaix at 52?

The 1999 winner has said he's found a team to help him make his comeback

Andrea Tafi in the 1999 Paris-Roubaix (Watson)

I guess if he wants to have a go at it by all means, why not?

I am just questioning the timing of it a bit because to ride at that level he needs to have gone through all the UCI rules and be registered on whereabouts, but if he can then why not?

>>> Andrea Tafi says he has found a team for Paris-Roubaix return at 52 years old

We were on Alessio-Bianchi together in 2004, he helped me win Paris-Roubaix that year, so I do know him quite well and he's definitely bonkers enough to want to have another go.

To get to the level where you can compete, and I don't think there's any point in coming back just to be on the start line, the amount of time I've been out of the sport and not riding for 30 hours a week it'd probably take five years to get back there.

But while he's been away from the sport for quite some time and not having worked with a team, he has been riding his bike, so it's interesting.

The safety side of things, the worry that you might hurt yourself or damage yourself at 52, it'll never enter his mind.

I don't think this will damage his legacy in any way.

There will be enough media attention for it to be a half-tidy investment for someone to take up the start line and take the slot off someone else.

I don't think it's going to do his reputation any harm.

Magnus Backstedt won Paris-Roubaix in 2004.

He currently runs a cycle coaching business.

I run into Tafi every now and then and this year he was really, really into riding his bike and besides that he's into doing amateur races and then I heard he was winning them.

So when I saw that he wanted to return to Paris-Roubaix I wasn't surprised.

But comebacks are never really successful in any sport.

How many top sportsmen make a comeback and win?

F1 drivers, skiers, football players, none of them.

Plus, cycling is a tough sport and it's a totally different ball game now than when he was racing.

I would leave with what he's done and what he's won.

Coming back won't damage his reputation, but it's just an unrealistic challenge.

I don't think he can finish a race; maybe he could but that's the limit.

I got back into riding a bit more recently and when you do four hours you're quite knackered, so I don't see a six-and-a-half-hour race happening.

Your body is different when you're older: my neck gets stiffer, my back hurts a bit more, you are going against your natural ageing process.

There's the danger side too — imagine if Tafi came down with a guy like Greg Van Avermaet, someone who could win it.

That would be a big mess; is it worth the risk?

Also I'm into vintage bikes now and I've got my bikes from the 90s — you get on a BMC and a bike from the 90s and there's a massive difference.

He's going to go through a whole lot of different things besides the age.

Max Sciandri rode Paris-Roubaix seven times between 1995 and 2004.

Italian Andrea Tafi has taken another step toward fulfilling his goal of competing in Paris-Roubaix 20 years after his victory there in 1999.

The 52-year-old said this week that he has signed with a team that could gain entry into the French spring Monument.

Tafi told Het Laaste Nieuws he was not yet able to name which team he had signed with, but the announcement should follow in the coming weeks.

Tafi went public with his plan last month and initially approached Patrick Lefevere, general manger of the Quick-Step Floors team where Tafi rode during the most successful part of his career, about a ride for the 2019 season.

Lefevere encouraged Tafi's idea, which he called "beautiful," but he didn't offer the Italian a spot on his team.

Tafi now says he found a team that offered him the opportunity.

"But I still cannot say which team it is," Tafi said, according to Het Laatste Nieuws.

"Everyone says I'm crazy, but I do not think I am in my heart.

I know how hard it is, I'm training and I'm going to see what's going to happen.

It will be difficult, but it's something I absolutely want to do - it's something no one has ever done in cycling history."

Tafi retired after the 2005 Paris-Roubaix having notched 30 career victories, including the Tour of Flanders, Il Lombardia and Paris-Roubaix.

He still competes in masters events in Tuscany, and he said he's looking for a unique way to turn back the clock and celebrate the 20th anniversary of his Paris-Roubaix win.

Tafi runs a cycling clothing business and a holiday rental business 'Il Borghetto' with apartments named after the races he won.

It leaves him with time to train and take his 20th anniversary celebrations seriously.

He has ridden a number of masters races and gran fondos this year, even taking part in a UCI-sanctioned road race in Hungary in July.

He has already contacted the UCI about being added to the anti-doping control pool of elite athletes and Biological Passport for the minimum six-months needed.

Tafi said previously that he had reached out to several Pro Continental teams that are likely to secure wildcard invitations to Paris-Roubaix in 2019.

Paris-Roubaix wildcard teams in 2018 included Vérandas Willems-Crelan, Direct Energie, Cofidis, Fortuneo-Samsic, Delko Marseille Provence KTM, Vital Concept and WB Aqua Protect Veranclassic.

Having competed in amateur Masters races for several years, Tafi announced in October 2018 that he would seek a comeback in 2019 to race Paris–Roubaix on the twentieth anniversary of his victory. On 8 November 2018, it was reported that he had found a team to ride with and that would attempt to receive a wildcard invitation for the event.


From 2005 to 2010, under the alias "Ekowraith", he released "hands up" music via YAWA Recordings.

# 8 Records That Porter Robinson Released As Ekowraith

We know a lot about rising EDM star Porter Robinson since he's made it big in the scene thanks to his countless interviews, casual tweets, and even Tumblr posts.

We've learned that he first started producing music when he was around twelve years old, and that he was mainly influenced by video game soundtracks (specifically the Japanese Dance Dance Revolution).

In 2008, Porter found himself creating and releasing music under the name Ekowraith.

His sound resided in a genre called "Hands Up" – a style of music that modern dance fans aren't aware of, including myself.

Many of his tracks were released via YAWA Recordings from 2008 to 2010.

Considering Porter's upcoming full-length album based on beauty and art, I thought it would be interesting to listen to some of the records that got one of my favorite producers started.

Listed below are eight Ekowraith tunes that I really enjoy.

Productions like "Booming Track" and "Countdown To Love" were featured on CD compilations such as "Dance Essentials Vol. 1", "Welcome To The Club 19" and "Summer Trance 2008".

At the bottom of this article I've also included some cover-art that might throw you.

But without further ado, dive into the music below and make sure you share your thoughts with me via Twitter, Facebook, or the comment section at the bottom of this page.
