Gianforte proved himself unworthy Montana, I am disappointed that we have just elected another rich man to represent us in Congress. Greg Gianforte proved himself unworthy of our trust the day before the election, yet actions do not appear to matter much anymore. In his victory speech, he said Congress should not get paid until the budget is balanced, he will vote for term limits, and is standing with President Trump to make America great again. To take him at his word then, he will stand with conservative Republicans on health-care legislation that Congress has already exempted themselves from (why would they do that if it is good for us and how is it even allowed under our Constitution?); pass laws that seek to control women and limit their rights; oppress minorities; and disregard science, which will further diminish the health of our planet. Why are we electing people that want to take away what little liberal safety nets exist for the poor, sick and elderly? Dont believe the claims that these efforts are being passed for our national security and economic well-being. How secure is a nation if its own people arent fed, healthy, and have equal access to … Continue reading →

By Douglas Anele But despite their remarkable capacity for creative ingenuity and accomplishments, the Igbo as a group, according to Prof. Chinua Achebe, have the deadly flaws of hubris, overweening pride, obsession with material success and irritatingly noisy exhibitionism or showiness which tend toinvite envy from members of other ethnic groups. Yet, those flaws do not justify their being massacred periodically by northerners or treated as second class citizens in their own country. The May riots of 1966, Ironsis gruesome murder and massacre of Ndigbo afterwards led to a radical rethinking of their attitude to the idea of a unified Nigerian nation. The Igbo began to realise that their belief in a strong central authority that provides a level playing field which enables Nigerians from every ethnic group to actualise the ideal of one nation, one citizenship, and one destiny was a delusion. The belated Igbo questioning of One Nigeria was consistent with the memorandum submitted by the northern delegation to the Nigerian ad hoc constitutional conference of September 1966. In it, northern representatives claimed that We have pretended for too long that there are no differences between the peoples of this country. The hard fact which we must honestly … Continue reading →

Share this story rom industries to bridges, mega projects to widening of roads and pipelines, it sometimes seems that everywhere you look, some group in Goa is rallying against something. What is behind this new opposition-ism? Goans social values, and their evolution over the past few decades, tell an important part of the story. Social values are the deep-seated beliefs and orientations that underline our opinions on the issues of the day. While at one time many Goans would conform to the expectations of authority figures, and follow the customs and demands of institutions and ideologies, these days they are increasingly unwilling, or uncomfortable, deferring to authority and instead are interested in making their own choices onwhat they want. The people want development they want motorable roads, uninterrupted water and power supply what they dont want is an abrupt change in their lives wrought about by a project that they are unlikely to ever benefit from. Goans do not generally accept the notion that pollution is inevitable, or acceptable, in an industrial society. Second, Goans do not tend to hold the belief that environmental damage is an acceptable price to pay for economic growth. Third, Goans, by and large, tend … Continue reading →

Clockwise from top left: David Brain, Travis Head, Josh Tongue Getty Images, Don Beard (photo courtesy: Wikimedia Commons) The idea struck me when I came across Worcestershires Josh Tongue on a scorecard. You cannot blame me for doing a double-take. For a second I thought there was a spelling error of some sort, for the Antiguan Gavin Tonge had played a handful of matches for West Indies in 2009. But no, it was Tongue all right. But then, if there can be a Tongue, why not make an XI of all sorts of body parts that have made their way to scorecards? I wanted to restrict myself to human beings, which meant that I had to leave out Wendell Bill (and many other Bills), and a handful of Gills who have played international cricket at Under-19 level (Akash for Canada, Neil for Ireland, and Shubnam for India). There was also Gill Smith presumably unrelated to Will who played 4 Tests and 31 ODIs for England Women). Also Read No, I will keep this human. And for a completely different reason we will leave Jake Ball out, along with a cohort of Dicks and others that satisfy the same criterion. I … Continue reading →

The top-seeded Beavers (54-4), who open the College World Series at noon Saturday against Cal State Fullerton (39-22), will take the field at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Nebraska as winners of 21 consecutive games. OSU closed the regular season with 16 straight victories and has outscored opponents 44-9 during its five NCAA tournament games. Earlier this year, the Beavers won a program-record 23 in a row from Feb. 25 to April 9, including a 12-0 start in Pac-12 play. The two streaks have accounted for 44 of the teams 54 victories, another single-season school record.

Sandra Oh takes the lead role in Killing Eve, screening in 2018 on BBC America. AFP picLOS ANGELES, June 15 The Canadian actress, who played surgeon Cristina Yang in Greys Anatomy for nine years, will take the lead role in a new series. Killing Eve will screen in 2018 on BBC America, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Killing Eve is billed as a spy thriller in which Sandra Oh will play Eve, a security services operative whos smart but unfulfilled by her office job, a far cry from the exciting life of a spy she dreams of. However, Eve soon finds herself being hunted by an elegant and talented psychopathic killer. Sandra Oh found fame in 2005 in ABCs medical drama Greys Anatomy. For 10 seasons she played Cristina Yang, a brilliant surgeon and friend of lead character Meredith Grey. Since leaving the show in 2014, the actress has been seen in the most recent season of American Crime. The eight-episode Killing Eve series is created by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the British writer and actress who wrote and starred in comedy show Fleabag, about the life of a young woman trying to navigate life in London. The series, which screened last … Continue reading →

The sins of the father revisited on the son its a stage staple that tracks back to Ancient Greece. From Captain Alving in Ibsens Ghosts to Arthur Millers arms-dealing Joe Keller in All My Sons, a mans acts live on. Feminist playwright (Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again.) and screenwriter (Lady Macbeth) Alice Birch offers an alternative in this chilly triptych, now play at the Royal Court Theater. Not once, but twice, a mothers trauma rebounds on her daughter. Mental illness becomes a baton passed between three generations: a frazzled 1970s housewife, a 1990s riot girl, a detached doctor in 2033. Katie Mitchells clinical staging forces us to watch forensically, sifting for clues about causality. Is this nature, nurture or social structure? Birch splits the stage in three, so that three women, decades apart, appear side by side. In 1971, Carol (Hattie Morahan) emerges from hospital with her wrists wrapped in bandages, her husband berating her for ruining the floorboards. In 1997, Anna (Kate OFlynn) wobbles on her feet, off her bloodied head, with one arm in a sling, as a male nurse checks her over and ticks her off. In 2033, a third woman holds her bleeding hand, a fishhook … Continue reading →

Share. Quantic Dream's upcoming neo-noir adventure, Detroit: Become Human, has a new cast member: Grey's Anatomy star Jesse Williams. The actor plays a character named Marcus, and he was unveiled in a new gameplay demo on-stage, which saw him leading a group of androids in revolt against Detroit's humans. Williams confirmed the news on Twitter, where he retweeted several mentions of the latest footage and simply said "It goes down in Detroit." Developer Quantic Dream confirmed on Twitter that Marcus is the third playable character in Detroit, joining previously-revealed characters Kara and Connor. Detroit: Become Human was announced during Sony's Paris Games Week keynote in 2015. Based on Quantic Dream's "Kara" tech demo from 2012, Detroit: Become Human follows a number of playable characters in a world of sentient androids. The story of Detroit: Become Human, similar to Heavy Rain, will feature several branching paths depending on player choices and character deaths.
