(An assignment for my creative writing class)

Most people fantasize about having super powers. They think it would be awesome to moonlight as a vigilante. They'd throw on a mask every night and fight crime wherever they found it. I don't see a problem with that at all, but what about the rest of the time? What about that person's daily life. Some powers could be hidden very easily, such as flight or super speed. Not super strength.

I first discovered my strength in high school. I was a freshman trying out for football and I barely made it on as a kicker. One day I kicked the ball the entire length of the field, then over the school, then past the parking lot on the other side. Thankfully everyone chalked it up to wind, but I knew what really happened. I kept kicking for the team for the next two years, until a game my junior year. Half of our team was out because of injuries, it was our last chance to go to State, and my coach pointed to me. He put me in and just told me to tackle the guy carrying the ball.

I did.

The kid was one of the best running backs in our league and I ruined his life. Three snapped ribs, a shattered collar bone, torn shoulder, and a broken neck were what I did to him. I quit the team and never played another sport. After that day I realized how dangerous I was.

Fortunately, my parents were very supportive and I started to learn how to control it. Eventually I started dating a girl in my class, Sarah, we graduated together, went through college, and now we are married with a beautiful daughter, Aubri. Everything was fine until we saw the complications of conceiving. In high school and college we had agreed to abstinence because I didn't want to hurt Sarah, but on our honeymoon night my fears were realized. I took her to the emergency room for a ruptured bladder, and from that point I knew things would be complicated.

We turned to a doctor to get us pregnant and it worked. The pregnancy was a tense experience since we didn't know if the baby would have super strength, but she didn't. Her birth was both the happiest and saddest experience of my life. I didn't want to hurt my extremely frail baby girl, and to this day I haven't touched her. Now that she is older, I don't think she loves me and it shows. At dinner she looks at her plate and her mother, but never me. When I try and ask her about her day she fidgets and doesn't tell me anything.

On this particular day nothing was different. We sat down for dinner, my daughter stared everywhere but me and my wife and I made conversation.

“So how's the book coming?” I asked.

“It's okay,” she said. It was obvious she didn't want to talk, but I tried anyway.

“Well a funny thing happened at work today. Jeremy from accounting was making copies, when the copier--”

My story was interrupted by the doorbell.

“Just ignore it; we're eating,” I said, “Anyway, so Jeremy started making copies when --”

The doorbell went off again.

“Can I get it, mom?” Aubri's tiny voice made me jump. My wife looked at me and I nodded.

“Of course, sweety,” she said, with a smile.

The only people that came around at this time were salesman or church goers looking for more members, I thought as I watched my daughter disappear around the corner.

My blood turned to ice when I heard her scream and the sound of the door crashing open. My wife and I jumped up from the table and rushed around the corner to see two men in ski masks, one with a baseball bat and the other with a gun to my daughter's head.

“Stay right where you are,” the man with the gun said, “ I really don't want to hurt this pretty, young girl.”

“Please just take anything you want!” My wife's voice trembled and tears formed in her eyes.

The guy with the bat started going from room to room, rummaging through our belongings, filling a duffel bag with all of our valuables. I felt so helpless looking at my daughter's scared face. The gunman looked at me and laughed. He laughed. I tightened my fist and had to keep myself from punching through the wall nearest me. I didn't care if he shot me, but the gun was on my daughter, not me. I noticed my wife was looking at me. She was no longer trembling or crying, and I could see what she was thinking. I shook my head quickly.

“Get on your knees you two.”

The other man had gone through the living room and kitchen and was at our backs now. My wife jumped as if he had heard what she was thinking. We both did as we were told, and I could hear the metallic ratcheting of hand cuffs, then felt them clasp tightly on my left wrist. The man tried to pull my arm behind my back, but I wasn't going to budge. I could feel his knee press deeply into my back. Fortunately I didn't feel a thing. After a lot of effort he finally let go.

A moment passed, then I felt a big thud on both of my shoulder blades followed by a crack. The man fell onto the floor clutching at his hands and cursing at the top of his lungs.

“Goddamn that hurts! Oh my god!” He writhed on the floor next to the baseball bat, clutching his hands together.

“What'd ya do? Hit the door jam?” The gunman started laughing. It was obvious he didn't think that the bat had hit me.

“I feel like I hit a tree,” he finally stood up, “Alright, you hand cuff him, then put your arms behind your back.” He was talking to my wife, who slowly slid over to me. She didn't say anything, just handcuffed my hands behind my back and gave me a little squeeze on my arm. Seconds later I heard the ratcheting of cuffs next to me and my wife was pushed forward. Her face hit the hardwood of the floor. My heart sank. The gunman still had my daughter in his grip.

“Ooooooh I'm sorry,” the man said in a snide, child-like tone.

He started to straddle her and immediately I tensed against the hand cuffs. I could feel the iron weaken and start to creak.

“Hey! Quit messing around. Hurry up and get the rest of the stuff!” The gunman yelled at his partner. Thankfully, he grunted and got off my wife, going back to searching our house for valuables. I could see the gunman had greatly relaxed his grip on the pistol and my daughter, since we were handcuffed. All I needed to do was catch him off guard and everything would be fine. At least I hoped it would be.

After several more minutes of noisy rummaging, the other man came back with the duffel bag full and two pillow cases stuffed with candlesticks and silverware. All of our family's worldly possessions in three bags.

“I'll take them out. You watch the girl.” The gunman pushed Aubri into the clutches of his partner. He then stuffed the gun into the back of his pants and grabbed both of the pillow cases and swung them over his shoulder. This could be my only chance, so I took it. Snapping the handcuffs with no effort, I pushed myself up off my knees and ran toward the two men. With my daughter in the midst, I went for the man that was holding her. He yelped in surprise as I grabbed both of his forearms. I squeezed his hands and they opened wide from my daughter's shoulders.

“What the--?” The gunman started to spin around, but had to drop the pillowcases. Back-pedaling over a clatter of cutlery, he fell against the hall tree and tumbled, trying to comprehend what was happening and get the gun out from under himself.

I shoved the other man away from my daughter. His head hit the oak front door with an audible crack. Scooping up my daughter in one arm, I ran to my bedroom, making sure to stop and grab my wife around the waist with my other arm on the way.

“Just wait here. Lock the door after me and don't open it no matter what you hear. Okay?” I broke the handcuffs off my wife and looked at her and my daughter.

“I'll call the police,” Sarah started to say.

“No!” I snapped. More calmly, I said, “No. Just let me take care of this before we get the police involved.”

My wife nodded and I kissed her and my daughter on the forehead, before I went out into the main house.

I waited for the click of the bedroom door lock before I walked away.

As quietly as I could, I went back to the hallway to the main entrance. I peeked around the corner and my heart dropped as I saw the door wide open. Fortunately, the guy I pushed against the door was still dazed and crawling around. I walked out and picked him up by his shoulders. Closing the door with a nudge of my foot, I held him against it.

“Now you're going to tell me who your friend was, and where he is going.”

“W-What are you?” he said. He was as dazed as he was scared.

I looked at his wide eyes and caught something in the reflection, then felt a hard, metal protrusion in the back of my neck.

“I don't know how you broke out of those handcuffs, but you aren't gonna get away now,” the gunman said.

Suddenly I became aware of the light metallic noise, that I could only assume was the trigger being pulled. I had never been shot before, so I really had no way of knowing I could survive. I didn't wanna take that chance. For  Aubri and Sarah's sake.

As fast as I could, I brought my leg back like a mule and connected with the gunman's thigh. He was spun down the hall. The pistol exploded, making my ears begin to whine at a high pitch frequency. Spinning around, the gunman's partner still in my grasp, I hurled him down the hall at the gunman before he could get his balance.

Narrowly missing my target, the human projectile careened through the kitchen door and the sound of breaking containers could be heard as he came to rest against the fridge. Bringing the gun up, the gunman took aim again at me. This time I didn't have anything to throw or protect me. I made a split second decision and jumped to my right with great force – right through the wall into the living room. A pile of drywall, large chunks of wood and my brand new leather couch stopped my momentum. Suddenly I was surrounded by a large cloud of dust as the ceiling collapsed into the hallway. Coughing the dust out of my lungs, I could see all of my grandparent's heavy oak furniture from the attic in a splintered pile.   I could hear the gunman cursing to himself and trying to move around the furniture. After a moment he stopped and my mind went instantly to the back door.

Scrambling over the remains of my couch, I ran through the connecting dining room, and into the kitchen. The gunman was frantically pulling at the knob of the back door. He had forgotten how to use a deadbolt in all the chaos. Making eye contact with me, he looked like a scared puppy.

He tripped over himself trying to get out of the kitchen, and ended up crawling most of the way. I went to pursue and my foot met something. The man I had thrown lay motionless on the tiled floor. A large indention was visible where he had hit the metal door of the fridge. I suddenly felt dizzy and had to steady myself on the counter. I have to get out of here I thought, trying to not puke.

I opened the door and saw the gunman beating on my bedroom door at the end of the adjoining hall. Nausea was suddenly replaced with adrenaline again. Without much thought, I sprinted toward the man. He looked at me with wide-eyed terror and started to fumble to bring the gun back up.

“Please stop! Just let me go!” The gunman held his gun in a very shaky hand. “I swear I'll shoot!”

The gun went off. I suddenly felt a great warmth by my face and could hear the bullet explode in the drywall next to me. Lowering my shoulder, I yelled something as a warning to my wife and daughter. Slamming into him with my full force, we crashed through the bedroom door as if it was made of paper mache. I clutched the gunman close to me as we went through the wall of our bedroom into the bathroom. We came to rest in the shattered remains of the porcelain tub.

I got up and brought the man up by his throat. He started to gurgle something.

“P-p-please. D-don't kill me. You don't h-ha--” He could barely talk with my hand around his neck.

I looked into his eyes. He was terrified. After all he had done, I felt genuine sympathy for him.

Maybe he was just doing this to feed his kids.

My heart sank and my grip started to loosen.

But what if I let him go? He would have to go to the hospital. They would start asking questions. Questions that will probably end up leading to me. What would that mean for me and my family?

I suddenly had the image of government agents coming into my house and taking me from Sarah and Aubri. I would try and fight them off but they would probably use my wife and daughter against me. Then my life would just consist of being observed and pushed to use my powers for research for the government. They'd extract some sort of serum to make their soldiers super strong or just throw me at their enemies like I was some tactical weapon.

I snapped back from my thoughts and looked at the man.

I had never seen so much terror in a man's eyes.  All at once I released my grip of the man's throat, he began to cough and had to grab the sink to steady himself. I slumped to my knees on the bathroom floor. I couldn't kill him. I wasn't strong enough.

Staring at the floor riddled in splinters of wood and bits of porcelain, I suddenly felt an all too familiar metal protrusion on my head.

“I don't know what you are. You – You shouldn't be allowed to live,” the gunman said, his voice had a raspy quality now.

Bringing my gaze up, I could see my wife and daughter through the hole in the wall. My wife's eyes looked wide and desperate as she shielded my daughter's face. I suddenly felt at peace. I would no longer have to worry about hurting anyone if I was gone.

I closed my eyes and listened as the faint metallic click of the trigger drug on. Instead of the explosion of the gun, a large thud and the shattering of tiles came.

Opening my eyes, I saw my little girl standing next to me where the gunman used to be. Both of her arms were extended as to push something. That something had been the gunman. I turned around and saw the man crumpled in the corner of the bathroom.

Standing up, I picked up my daughter for the first time in her life. Walking through the debris, I gently grabbed my wife's hand and lead her through the remains of our house.

We went outside, the sun was just starting to set and we all stared up at the bright orange and red sky. I looked at my wife and daughter and we all seemed to connect for a second. Then we walked.

I don't know where we will go. Or if we will ever be able to find somewhere safe again. But I know as long as we have each other, we will have the strength to get through anything.

title: Strength

question: What's ironic about the protagonist's encounter with the robbers?

answer: He has super strength yet says he isn't strong enough to kill a man.

question: Does the protagonist's daughter have super strength also?

answer: For her whole life the protagonist has thought she didn't have super strength. However, during the armed robbery, she exhibits super strength and proves she in fact does have it.

question: Why does the protagonist suggest they will have to move or go into hiding?

answer: He imagines government agents coming to take him from his family. His life would consist of being observed and pushed to use his powers for government research. They'd extract some sort of serum to make super soldiers or make him some sort of weapon.

Recent political developments have helped put the FBI in a favorable light. The agency and its leadership have been praised for its performance throughout the investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Former director James Comey affirmed the agency’s fundamental goodness in a letter to his colleagues after he was relieved of his post President Trump.

“I have said to you before that, in times of turbulence, the American people should see the FBI as a rock of competence, honesty, and independence,” wrote Comey. “It is very hard to leave a group of people who are committed only to doing the right thing.”

While Comey might only have good things to say about the FBI, newly leaked documents suggest he shouldn’t. Despite the agency’s new, upstanding image, it might be back to its Hoover-era dirty tricks—if it ever really departed from them.

Foreign Policy reported recently on the existence of a document that circulated within the FBI’s counterterrorism division. Just nine days before the deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, it named a major threat to public safety: not organized white nationalists, but “black identity extremists.”

“The FBI assesses it is very likely Black Identity Extremist (BIE) perceptions of police brutality against African Americans spurred an increase in premeditated, retaliatory lethal violence against law enforcement and will very likely serve as justification for such violence,” the report reads in part.

The “black identity extremist” tag might be new but the tactic behind it is not. The FBI’s attempt to characterize the police reform movement as violent and extremist is but the agency’s most recent effort to criminalize black activism by labeling it a danger to public safety and national security.

There’s perhaps no better example of the contrast between the FBI’s reputation and its character than its behavior during the 1964 Freedom Summer. If you learned about that historic summer in school, you probably heard stories of how the civil rights campaign would not have been a success without protection provided to volunteers by the FBI. That’s definitely the story I was told in school, but it’s not the whole truth.

My father, David Dennis, was integral to organizing the Freedom Summer as co-director of the Council of Federated Organizations. In fact, a bout of bronchitis kept him from traveling with James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner on the day the three young civil rights workers were murdered by the Klan. He told me the full story of the FBI’s involvement that summer.

The truth is that J. Edgar Hoover, who ran the agency from 1924 to 1972, never wanted the FBI to protect civil rights workers. When the Council of Federated Organizations asked for his help as it registered black Mississippians to vote, he responded in no uncertain terms.

“We most certainly do not and will not give protection to civil rights workers,” Hoover said at a news conference early that summer. “In the first place, the FBI is not a police organization. It’s purely an investigative organization, and the protection of individual citizens, either natives of this state or coming into the state, is a matter for the local authorities.”

Of course, the FBI did later become heavily involved with the Freedom Summer after Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner went missing, beginning its now-famous “Mississippi Burning” investigation. For that, the agency is given more credit than it deserves.

After the three civil rights workers disappeared, Hoover ordered FBI agents to begin a preliminary search. He sent additional agents to Mississippi to look for the men after their car was found burned out.

The buried remains of Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner were finally found 44 days after they disappeared.

Most people don’t know, however, that President Lyndon B. Johnson had to pressure Hoover and the FBI to get involved. Hoover expressed his disdain for the civil rights workers, even after they went missing. In fact, in a recorded phone call, Hoover can be heard noting to Johnson that Schwerner and his wife were communists, the “extremists” of the era.

My father told me the story of the FBI’s mixed record that summer and other stories of his interactions with the agency—the spying, intimidation, and blatant racism of agents. My understanding of the FBI’s capacity for wrongdoing only grew as I learned about COINTELPRO, its covert, often illegal, campaigns to break up the civil rights movement and “neutralize” activists.

Hoover has been scapegoated as the nexus of that evil. According to reports, Comey kept a copy of a 1963 order authorizing Hoover to conduct round-the-clock surveillance of Martin Luther King Jr. on his desk as a reminder of the director’s abuses.

News of the agency’s most recent anti-activist activity suggests, however, that anti-blackness and dirty tactics aren't relegated to the agency’s history or one man’s leadership.

It’s unclear how the new “black identity extremists” tag will impact the lives of activists. We do know that the Department of Homeland Security has been surveilling Black Lives Matter activists since 2014, but there’s no way to know what’s next. Damage has already been done, though. With its report, the FBI has legitimized the idea that black activism is a threat and should be treated accordingly—with violent force, no doubt.

We all should be keeping a much closer eye on the FBI than we have in recent years. If its history teaches us anything it's that the agency is capable of serious harm and tremendous good, often at the same time.

It’s great that the FBI is competent, honest, and independent when it comes to its handling of the president, but that’s not all it handles. The agency has incredible power. Despite the changing political winds, we must maintain our skepticism of the FBI to be sure that power isn’t abused.

question: Why does Comey keep a copy of J. Edgar Hoover's order to have Martin Luther King surveilled on his desk?

answer: Hoover was very opposed to civil rights. He only interceded on the behalf of civil rights workers after the "Mississippi Burning" event happened. Hoover became a symbol of the evil that the persecution of Martin Luther King represented. Comey kept a copy of this order on his desk in order to remind himself not to repeat Hoover's mistakes.

question: What is the article pointing out about the FBI's conduct?

answer: In spite of Comey's heroism in resisting a President who was tyrannically overreaching, there is evidence of the FBI persecuting Black Identity Extremists, in a way reminiscent of similar programs from the 1960s. The article notes that the department of Homeland Security surveilled Black Lives Matter activists, and that citizens must be watchful of FBI abuses.

Terror threats loomed alongside fireworks over European capitals as they welcomed in the New Year, with an unprecedented police presence guarding cities fromSydney to New York.

Panic spread across the German city of Munich just an hour before revellers celebrated the New Year, after police warned of a 'serious imminent threat' of an ISIS terror attack as crowds of people flocked to the city centre to welcome in the New Year.

A foreign intelligence service had warned German police that between five and seven suicide bombers from the terror group had been planning on attacking the southern German city.

Two railway stations - the city's main station and the Pasing station - were evacuated after indications of a planned attack which would target party-goers in the city.

Across Europe, capital cities were on high security alert, with Brussels and Paris both scrapping fireworks for New Year's celebrations.

Fear: Two railway stations - the city's main station (pictured) and the Pasing station - have been evacuated after indications of a planned attack, which would target party-goers in the city

Threat: Police issued a tweet warning that 'there will be' a terror attack in Munich tonight, after the force received two pieces of information about an imminent attack

Terror: Police stand guard outside the Munich train station on December 31, 2015 in German police said Thursday that they had 'indications that a terror attack' was being planned for New Year's Eve

In Berlin, the police presence was stepped up at the Brandenburg Gate, where hundreds of thousands of people gathered for festivities. All large bags and backpacks were banned from the site of the huge street party.

Major security operations involving thousands of police were in place in other cities, including Sydney, Bangkok, Delhi and New York.

Belgian police held a further six people suspected of plotting a New Year's Eve attack in Brussels. One was also charged with offences linked to the attacks on the French capital.

Meanwhile, an unprecedented security operation was well underway in London, as a safe guard against a potential attack during New Year celebrations in the capital city as 100,000 party-goers defied terror threats to ring in the New Year.

Police in the southern German city of Munich closed the two train stations after issuing a tweet warning for people to avoid crowds and train stations, claiming that according to 'serious information, there will be an attack tonight'.

The warning could have put an end to the city's planned celebrations to see in the New Year after they were issued just an hour before midnight, as Germans usually gather outside to welcome in the year with fireworks.

A police spokesperson said that they had ‘reliable information’ that a group was planning to act as festivities were well under way on New Year’s Eve.

‘Actual lead that in #Munich a terror attack is planned. Please avoid crowd gatherings as well as the central train station and the Pasing train station,’ read the tweet.

Another tweet from the police read: ‘We note explicitly once again that we take the threat very seriously. Please remain alert.’

Warning: German police issued a tweet tonight warning people to avoid crowds and the city's train stations for fear of a terror attack. Two stations, including the Pasing station (pictured, file image) were evacuated

On watch: Armed German police on duty at the main railway station in central Munich, Germany, 31 December 2015. Police evacuated Munich's main train station and a second station in the city's Pasing district in response to a credible terrorist threat

Waiting: The warning could put an end to the city's planned celebrations to see in the New Year, after they were issued just an hour before midnight, as Germans usually gather outside to welcome in the year with fireworks

SInister: Two police officers and a police dog patrol through the eerily empty main railway station in Munich tonight, after the station was evacuated following threats of an imminent terrorist attack

Concern: Police tweeted a warning to Germans to avoid train stations and crowds of people after terror threats tonight, but the police warned that terrorists could still target other locations

Celebrations cancelled: European capitals are on high security alert tonight, with Brussels and Paris also both scrapping fireworks for New Year's celebrations

Police spokesman Werner Kraus said that ‘we have serious information and different tips about an imminent attack’.

He said: ‘After evaluating the situation, we started evacuating the train stations and also asked partygoers to stay away from big crowds outside.

Although the train stations were evacuated, the spokesperson said it could not be ruled out that the attackers could seek another target. Munich newspaper TZ reported that police believed several groups of terrorists could strike at different locations in the city.

But, other than saying that they had received 'concrete' tips, the police did not elaborate on the nature of the threat or who had warned them.

A Munich police spokesman was quoted on German broadcaster ARD as saying the force had received two pieces of information about a possible attack.

But despite the police warnings, thousands of people filled the streets of the German city to welcome in the New Year with fireworks and festivities.

The southern city of Munich has been a key gateway for migrants and refugees hoping to enter Europe throughout the refugee crisis.

The nation was forced to call in troops to ‘support efforts to care for refugees’ in September as the numbers entering the city reached into the tens of thousands over the course of just a couple of days.

German chancellor Angela Merkel threw open the nation's doors to incoming migrants and refugees, fleeing wars and violence in countries including Syria, Afghanistan and Eritrea.

WHY WOULD ISIS SUICIDE BOMBERS WANT TO TARGET THE GERMAN CITY OF MUNICH?

German Chancellor Angela Merkel sparked worldwide debate when she opened the doors of her country in August to migrants and refugees flocking to Europe from war torn countries including Syria and Afghanistan.

Merkel was put under immediate pressure to close the country's borders again as her open-door policy became viewed as a security threat at Europe's borders, with critics claiming that it gave an opportunity for ISIS terrorists to enter Europe.

This view was heightened after the Paris terror attacks on November 13, when two of the bombers were found to have Syrian passports and to have entered Europe under the pretence of being refugees fleeing the devastated country.

There were also fears that Merkel would be drawing attention from terror groups in the Middle East by opening her country's borders, making her country a target to ISIS fighters angered by Syrians being able to flee their reign of terror and claim refuge within Europe.

As one of Germany's southern-most cities, Munich was the first resting point within the country's borders for those travelling on the Bavaria migrant route. Many Syrians arriving in the country were able to find a place to settle within the city.

In an apparent effort to allay those concerns, Germany said on Thursday it would start holding personal hearings for asylum seekers from Syria as of Friday, reversing a policy of granting almost automatic refugee status for Syrians.

Syrians have since the end of 2014 enjoyed a simplified asylum process, which has exempted them from personal hearings.

Strength: France's President Francois Hollande talks to an armed police officer at the Champs Elysees in Paris, as Europe is on high alert for terror attacks as its population welcomes in the New Year

Visit: France's President Francois Hollande and Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve visit the security forces at the Champs Elysees in Paris as the New Year arrives in the French city

On guard: Following the November 13 terrorist attacks, which killed 130 people, the French capital is on high alert for New Year's Eve

As one of the country's most southern cities, Munich was one of the first stopping points for refugees and migrants entering Germany - which has the largest national economy in Europe.

Ms Merkel urged Germans to see refugee’s arriving as ‘an opportunity for tomorrow’ in her New Year’s address on Thursday, encouraging the population not to listen to racists.

Millions of revellers swarmed into the streets across Britain to welcome the New Year with fireworks and celebrations, with the public being urged to see out 2015 in style.

Security chiefs refused to bow to fears the celebrations could be targeted by Islamist terrorists amid growing concern worldwide.

Preparations: Police officers walk past portable toilets set up in the secure ticketed area in the shadow of the London Eye tonight

Presence: Police officers walk to their positions ahead of New Year's Eve celebrations in London tonight with security high in the capital

Security: An armed officer patrols at a bag search zone where spectators are queueing to enter the area to watch the fireworks in London

Transport network: Police officers deploy to their positions as they pass St James's Park Tube station ahead of New Year celebrations

Blocked off: Preparations are well underway for celebrations in London which are taking place amid an unprecedented security operation

And forecasters are warning that parts of the country will see heavy rain and sub-zero temperatures tonight, as well as possible snow, hail and ice.

Partygoers are also facing a chaotic evening on the transport network, with train lines affected by engineering works and storm damage.

DON'T MISS LONDON FIREWORKS SAYS BORIS AS HE FLIES TO SPAIN

He called on Londoners to ‘get out there’ and enjoy the New Year’s Eve celebrations despite heightened security fears.

But Boris Johnson decided to give last night’s fireworks extravaganza a miss himself – jetting off to the Costa del Sol instead.

The Mayor of London was spotted boarding an easyJet flight to Malaga from Gatwick airport yesterday morning. Earlier in the week, he urged ‘Londoners and visitors alike to get out there and soak up the best we have to offer’ on New Year’s Eve, including the Mayor’s fireworks on the Thames.

He sought to reassure the public after it emerged security services had been warned of a possible terror attack on a European city.

His spokesman said he was ‘away’ but would be ‘kept up to date with events throughout the night’.

Every firearms officer in London will be on duty tonight, with around 3,000 police on patrol as the mayor's fireworks display with Unicef brings in 2016.

The Metropolitan Police said New Year's Eve was one of two events - along with the Notting Hill Carnival - in which there was no holiday entitlement.

It comes amid chilling intelligence warnings that Islamist fanatics may be planning a terror attack in an unspecified European city.

Officials in Brussels have cancelled the city's New Year celebrations as the Belgian capital remains on high alert over a Paris-style terror attack.

Meanwhile in New York 6,000 police officers will join an estimated one million people who will turn out to celebrate New Year's Eve in Times Square.

In Britain, there is a noticeable armed presence on the streets of the capital, but police urged the public to be ‘reassured’ rather than alarmed by this.

Hundreds of thousands of people will flock to watch the mayor's fireworks display in central London, which has sold out, along with other events.

Security precautions at major events have been bolstered across the UK in the wake of November's terror attacks in Paris, which claimed 130 lives.

Superintendent Jo Edwards from the Metropolitan Police said the public will see 'more police officers' and 'more visible firearms officers as well'.

But she said the force's plan 'is to provide safety and security for those coming into London, and also to reassure - not frighten - people'.

The superintendent added: ‘We have a strong policing plan in place, but proportionate based on the current threat level that we now face.’

Police urged those without tickets to the main fireworks displays to consider watching the spectacle at home.

Those who were entering the ticketed areas would be subjected to more rigorous security and search precautions, Ms Edwards said.

British Transport Police confirmed there would be more armed police on duty at train and Tube stations ‘to provide further reassurance to everyone’.

Forecast for midnight: Snow and heavy rain is expected in parts of Scotland overnight, while temperatures (right) could dip below freezing

North fo the border: There was also a high police presence on the streets in Edinburgh for Hogmanay tonight

WHERE TO WATCH NEW YEAR'S EVE FIREWORKS AROUND THE UK

London: The traditional fireworks on the River Thames are sold out, with only ticket-holders allowed into the viewing areas in Central London.

Edinburgh: Hogmanay celebrations are taking over the Scottish capital for three days, with a series of fireworks displays in the run-up to midnight.

Manchester: The New Year fireworks display will take place in Albert Square after it narrowly escaped being cancelled due to funding problems.

Cardiff: Fireworks will be let off in front of City Hall at midnight. The display is free to watch, and free buses will be bringing revellers to and from it.

Birmingham: Residents will gather in Centenary Square to watch the city's five-minute official firework display welcome in the New Year.

Newcastle: A winter carnival parade has taken place in the centre of Newcastle this evening, followed by fireworks on the Quayside at midnight.

Those heading out to celebrate tonight will need to wrap up – as temperatures are set to drop below freezing across much of the country.

The South could see the mercury fall as low as -3C (27F), resulting in the first widespread frost in weeks after an unusually mild December.

In the aftermath of Storm Frank, most of the UK has seen a band of rain today, which is expected to fall as snow in some areas of Wales and Scotland.

Severe weather warnings from the Met Office are in place overnight for ice and rain in most of Scotland and Northern Ireland.

There are also rain warnings in place for the South West tomorrow, which is set to be lashed by a fresh band of rain arriving from the Atlantic.

Organisers insist that the potential rain will not affect firework celebrations in London, although revellers have been urged to wrap up warm.

Party atmosphere: Crowds pack the streets of Newcastle-upon-Tyne this evening as the city's New Year's Eve 'Winter Carnival' begins

Puppets: A winter carnival parade takes place in the centre of Newcastle, which will be followed by fireworks on the Quayside at midnight

Explosive: A spectacular fireworks display at the Civic Centre in Newcastle this evening marks the end of the city's New Year's Eve carnival

After several weeks of mild weather, the New Year is set to herald a plunge in temperatures, with many areas experiencing freezing conditions.

Temperatures will dip below freezing across much of the country this evening to as low as -4C, resulting in a widespread frost for the first time in weeks.

News of the biggest ever armed police operation in London comes as New Year’s Eve fireworks in Brussels have been cancelled for security reasons.

Mayor Yvan Mayeur said the decision had been made because officials could not guarantee being able to 'check' all attendees.

Brussels, which is home to the headquarters of Nato and the European Union, has been on high alert since the November 13 attacks in France.

Earlier this week, officers arrested two people suspected of plotting attacks in the Belgian capital during New Year festivities.

Security: Every firearms officer in London will be on duty tonight, with around 3,000 police on patrol ahead of the mayor's fireworks display

Leave cancelled: The Metropolitan Police confirmed New Year's Eve was one of two events in which there was no holiday entitlement

Getting ready: Security precautions at major events have been bolstered across the UK in the wake of November's terror attacks in Paris

As part of their investigation, police seized items including military-style training uniforms, computer hardware and Islamic State propaganda material.

Meanwhile Austrian police have stepped up security in Vienna and other cities after receiving a warning of possible attacks.

And Moscow’s Red Square, traditionally where Russians gather to ring in the New Year, will be closed to revellers amid mounting security concerns.

In New York, the city will draw on its newly formed Critical Response Command counter-terrorism unit.

The team of about 560 heavily armed officers, trained to detect and respond to attack plots, was commissioned days after the terrorist attacks in Paris.

Officers are also equipped with 20,000 smart phones that will allow police to quickly transmit information on potential threats.

The bomb squad and a unit specializing in chemical and biological threats will sweep hotels, theatres, construction sites and parking garages.

question: What does the text say about Al Qaeda?

question: Summarize the main news event.

answer: Terror threats from ISIS loom over New Year's Eve celebrations across several capital cities in Europe, Asia, Australia, and the United States. Intelligence services have uncovered a coordinated attack by terrorists that will target crowds of people in train stations and other places where revelers converge to celebrate the coming of the New Year and watch the fireworks display. Thousands of police were deployed in major cities including New York, London, Vienna, Sydney, Munich, Berlin, Paris, Brussels, Bangkok, Moscow, and Delhi. Cities on high alert such as Brussels and Paris have both canceled the fireworks for New Year's celebrations. Two train stations in Munich were evacuated after indications of a planned attack. Despite the danger, some leaders like the UK's Boris Johnson, have urged the people to go out and have fun.

question: Summarize Chancellor Angela Merkel's decision to open German borders to refugees.

answer: German Chancellor Angela Merkel opened the doors of her country in August to refugees and migrants flocking to Europe from war-torn countries including Syria and Afghanistan. The southernmost city of Munich, in particular, has been the first resting point within Germany's borders for those traveling on the Bavaria migrant route. Since 2014, Syrians have enjoyed a simplified asylum process exempt from personal hearings, which has allowed them to settle within the city. Ms. Merkel urged Germans to see the arrival of refugees as "an opportunity for tomorrow" and encouraged them not to listen to racists. In an effort to placate the concerns of those opposed to her open-door policy on refugees, Germany said that it would start holding personal hearings for asylum seekers from Syria, reversing the policy of almost automatic refugee status for Syrians.

question: Summarize the opposition's views on Ms. Merkel's move to open Germany's borders to refugees.

answer: Ms. Merkel's move to open Germany's borders to refugees from Syria and other countries has sparked worldwide debate. She was put under immediate pressure to close the country's borders again as her open-door policy became viewed as a security threat at Europe's borders. Critics claimed that it gave an opportunity for ISIS terrorists to enter Europe, a view heightened after the Paris terror attacks on November 13. Two of the Paris bombers were found to have Syrian passports and entered Europe under the pretense of being refugees. Others feared that Merkel is drawing attention from Middle Eastern terror groups by opening Germany's borders and making her country a target to ISIS fighters angered by Syrians being able to flee their reign of terror by claiming refuge in Europe.

We believe the following info is all legit. If it's bogus or you have additional info, please UPDATE US.

Thanks to Monique

The "giggle" scene is so priceless, because it was very real. During filming, Jennifer was laughing and Patrick really was frustrated with her. Thankfully the filmmakers had the sense of fun to leave it in to add this wonderful moment.

Jennifer Grey was said to have disrupted filming on several occasions by her behaviour, so to be fair to her it should be said that here Swayze strokes right through her armpit and she was very ticklish! But she got over it and the result is one of the most beautifully erotic scenes in the film.

Thanks to Alicia

Patrick Swayze, when he made the film Dirty Dancing was really 35, he was supposed to be 25. Jennifer Grey was really 27 years old!

Thanks to Michelle

Jennifer and Patrick actually bumped heads when shooting one of the dance sequences; it wasn't scripted but they liked it so much they left it in.

Rewind Archive

Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze worked on "Dirty Dancing" immediately after finishing "Red Dawn". They had not got on during the making of that movie and had to be pursuaded to work together again.

Thanks to Jenna Jewelson

While in production Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey often fought behind the scences, but when the cameras began filming they put aside their anger and pretended to be lovers.

Rewind Archive

Several hot and heavy dance sequences were left out to get a PG-13 rating.

Thanks to Lloyd

During the scene where Baby and her sister are trying on wigs, you will notice that no one will walk on the pathway that is directly behind them. This is probably because it was just a thin layer of sand that covered the grass and, if disturbed, the grass would show through.

Thanks to Erin Wittig And Alex

When rehearsing the scene where Baby and Johnny were dancing on the tree limb, Patrick fell off and his knee swelled up but he had it drained and the next day he was dancing again.

Thanks to Ryan

Patrick Swayze, being the son of a choreographer, was already well-tuned into dancing. During the final dance scene filming, he twisted his ankle. He would only dance once again on the big screen, in the appropriately titled movie "One last dance" with his real life wife Lisa Niemi. He did, however, dance on Saturday Night Live alongside Chris Farley when they had a dance off trying out for the Chip n Dales.

Thanks to Megan

The "Sylvia and Mickie" scene, where Johnny and Baby are lip-synching with a song, was actual a real occurence. To warm up, the director put on that song, and Jennifer and Patrick were just fooling around and improvising. The director liked what he saw, filmed it, and kept it in the final cut of the movie.

Victor Quayle kindly wrote in to add that one day the director came into the practice studio and found Kenny Ortega, choreography and Miranda Garrison, assistant choreographer, (who also played Vivian Pressman because another actress was taken ill), dancing a threesome with Jennifer Grey to help her with attitude and rhythm. The director took this up and had it danced by Penny, Baby and Johnny. What came out of it was elegant, restrained and beautifully erotic.

Rewind Archive

The movie Dirty Dancing took a while to film and fall came early. Since the movie was set in the summer of 1963, they couldn't film the trees colors of orange and brown. Patrick Swayze says, "It was the wierdest thing in the world to see guys going out with spray cans painting brown leaves green again."

Rewind Archive

During filming in the autumn, temperatures soon nose-dived.

The water lift scene was a very important part of the movie and couldn't be left out. So Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey went out in the water when the temperature outside was about 40 degrees.

Jennifer Grey remembered: "I remember people standing all around filming us dressed in coats with their hoods up and gloves, and we had to go in the water wearing only jeans and a shirt."

Thanks to Holly Smith

The breaking the car window scene when Patrick loses the keys to his car in the rain, had to be shot numerous times. The car was owned by a local tow truck company owner. They had to teach him how to break the window in the old car the correct way. It finally worked. After the tow truck driver hung around for a while, Patrick took the "girl dancers" (extras) for a joy ride in the tow truck. They hung off the back of the bars.

Thanks to Victor Quayle

It is well-known that Patrick Swayze did his own stunt in the log dancing scene. But what about Baby? Did they use a stunt woman?

A stunt women, Denise Amirante, is mentioned in the end credits and I can't think where else in the film a stunt woman would be needed. But, in her audio commentary, Eleanor Bergstein says: '... and here's Jennifer being very brave.' My speculation: Once they are actually on the log, dancing, Baby's face is never shown and most shots are middle distance or feet only. It seems to me that 'Baby' is considerably fuller round the hips. I also noticed greenish pants just showing through 'Baby's' jeans, which is not so in other Baby shots in this scene. Am I seeing things? Does anyone know definitely if Jennifer Grey was on the log in person or not?

In the DVD commentary Ortega does say that Jennifer used a double in the log scene as well as when they were coming up to that scene in the car right before they park. There was a grassy slope they drove down and they thought it could be a little risky so again you can see the double's substantially curlier hair in the sihlouette sitting in the car right before they park and the song "This Overload" ends.

UPDATE: Denise Amirante wrote in to say "I was Jennifer's stunt double on the log scene and other scenes in the movie... I am currently living in Nashville TN writing songs and doing some acting on the side." - So now we know :-)

Thanks to Sue Tabashnik

It really was not raining when Johnny broke out the car window. Hoses were used to make it look like rain. In fact, you can see the sun was shining!

Thanks to MaryLouise

I keep wondering: in the driving down to the water scene, is the car really stationary with off-scene lights making it seem to be moving?

After filming on Dirty Dancing completed, but before the movie's release, Jennifer Grey and her then-boyfriend Matthew Broderick were involved in a horrific, fatal car accident.

On Aug. 5, 1987, the pair were in Northern Ireland on vacation when the accident occurred. He was 25. She was 27.

As Broderick drove their rented BMW along a country road in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, he apparently ended up in the opposite lane, smashing head-on into a car carrying a mother and daughter, tragically killing both instantly.

Broderick suffered a fractured leg and ribs, collapsed lung and concussion. He spent the next four weeks in hospital. Grey escaped with minor injuries.

Tests showed that Broderick had not been drinking. He was unable to recall the incident saying "I don't remember the day. I don't remember even getting up in the morning. I don't remember making my bed. What I first remember is waking up in the hospital, with a very strange feeling going on in my leg."

He was initially charged with the British crime of 'causing death by dangerous driving' and faced up to five years behind bars. He was later convicted of the lesser charge of 'careless driving' and given only a small fine - which the victims stunned family called "a travesty of justice" at the time.

Dirty Dancing hit movie theaters just days after the accident.

But Jennifer was traumatized, saying "The juxtaposition of that deep sorrow, the survivor's guilt, and then being celebrated as the new big thing just didn't jibe. It didn't feel good to be the toast of the town", adding in another interview "That movie's about a loss of innocence, and I feel like when that movie came out, 6 days before, I was in a car crash where a mother and daughter were killed, and I feel like my life changed, and that was a loss of my innocence."

She sadly never fully recovered from the trauma, effectively retiring from showbiz at just 27 years old for many years; "My head was never the same, my ambition was ever the same."

Both stars have confirmed that they are sill haunted by events on that lonely Irish road. Even today.

Director Emile Ardolino first read the script for Dirty Dancing while serving jury duty in Manhattan

Alternate Versions

Sometimes, there will be several versions of a movie floating about on cable, tv or video etc. Other times, a Director may release a special cut of the movie on Blu-ray or DVD.

The following versions of Dirty Dancing are apparently real. If you disagree or have additional info, please UPDATE US.

Thanks to Jamie

I saw a scene on abc family today where Lisa is complaining about a broken lipstick being smeared on a towel in her dresser complaining about wanting the maid fired, and Baby says she did it, Lisa says she is lying and Jerry Orbach said if baby said she did it then she did it, baby doesn't lie.

Thanks to Stacie

I saw a scene on abc family where Johnny is in the woods with another woman before Baby goes up to where they were dancing.

BUT, Susan wrote in to say that it isn't Johnny in the woods, it's Robbie the waiter with Baby's sister (the one who got Penny pregnant)... Holly kindly added that: There is the scene with Robbie and Lisa coming out of the woods, but there was also a scene of Johnny and a giggling bungalow bunny in the woods while Baby peaked through the trees.

Thanks to marisa

Yesterday I saw a scene that I think it should have been one of the last scenes of the movie, where Johnny and Baby (while dancing) talk about the future of their relationship and we know that it is not only a summer romance!! Baby seems to be scared but Johnny says "we Will fight Frances"

-Why did they cut this scene?? It's magic...

[The Blog]()
.
.
I could feel myself coming to in the small windowless cell. There were thin beams of weedy yellow light coughing out of the failing halogens. A bullet proof glass door showed my slowly waking eyes two vague humanoid forms. I glanced up at my belt hanging from the top of the upturned bed- it was torn in half from where it had snapped after presumably many hours holding my weight. The noose was still around my neck. As I waited for my legs to wake up I listened to the two figures familiar conversation.
“I still seems barbaric to me. Look at him he wants to go why do we keep bringing him back?”
“The judge said 137 years. He’s only done 10.”
“You’re more robotic than the engine Gary. So how many resurrections is that?”
“That’s the third this year. Okay belts are officially banned in this place. Also the autopsy found traces of an unknown toxin. We need to monitor the prisoners for possible new drug supplies. Wait he’s coming to.”
The second figure pressed a button and there was a click noise in my cell that made my ears ring.
“Prisoner 5107. Can you hear me?”
My throat was dry and rough but I had to respond or they’d try a Post-Res detox and my bowels wouldn’t handle it in their current state.
“Y-Yes I can hear you Doctor.”
“Now 5107 you have to stop doing this every resurrection sends more bills to your next of kin you know that right?”
I let out an almighty string of coughs as my lungs cleared of nanomachine gel.
“I don’t have anyone…”
“Oh.”
“Just let me die! Please!”
The desperation left a lump in my throat. The second figure switched to a faux-warmth that left me deeply unnerved.
“Oh now I hate to put you through this but what you did was truly terrible and you must serve your sentence. Until your body shuts down due to old age we cannot allow you to slip away with a mere ten years- what sort of just society would that be? Now get up there serving lunch in ten minutes.”
“I didn’t do anything please let me out of here!”
I struggled to hold on to mind as the swirling chemicals still left in my blood left me dizzy and sick with panic from an unknown source. I lay there bawling as the two scientists walked away. The first spoke again- with less brashness than before.
“What did he do to end up here anyway?”
“He killed his twin brother and the brother’s wife and kids. Destroyed his body so completely we never found it.”

title: [SF] Science Fiction Horror Short Story "The Lazarus Engine" from my blog feedback appreciated

question: Since the prisoner knows that he won't be allowed to succeed at suicide, why does he keep trying?

answer: He hopes that at some stage they will find him too late and will not be able to resuscitate him.

question: How can the prisoner serve 137 years?

answer: Humanity must live longer in this world but the scientist does concede that the prisoner could die of old age so perhaps such a long sentence is precautionary.

question: Who pays the resurrection bills if you have no family?

answer: Presumably, the cost is written off

question: He destroyed the body of his twin brother but what of the bodies of the wife and kids?

answer: They either found them along with evidence or they too were never found.

question: Write a ~6 sentence summary.

answer:
The narrator regains consciousness in his windowless cell. His belt has snapped off from the weight of his body. The noose is still around his neck. The scientists are resurrecting him as he has only served ten years of his 137-year sentence. The prisoner has tried suicide on many occasions but they won’t allow him to succeed until he has paid his dues to society.

The prisoner claims innocence but one scientist tells the other that he killed his twin brother, and the brother’s wife and children, destroyed them so completely that the bodies were never found.

Joy Ann Reid's eight-year-old tweets about 'rentboys' and 'grimey closet-cases' have resurfaced just days after the MSNBC host tried to deny writing homophobic blog comments appearing under her name.

Reid claimed that she'd been hacked after images from her blog, titled The Reid Report, were tweeted out this week, which appeared to show her calling the idea of homosexual sex 'gross' and gleefully speculating over the sexuality of politicians and celebrities.

The MSNBC host said the anti-gay references 'run counter to my personal beliefs and ideology' and had been included in the now-defunct blog in an 'effort to taint my character'.

But a long scroll through the 49-year-old's Twitter account turns up a number of tweets which appear to reflect the homophobic comments made on the blog.

Joy Reid's eight-year-old tweets about 'rentboys' and 'grimey closet-cases' have resurfaced just days after the MSNBC host denied writing homophobic blog comments appearing under her name

In one tweet, she refers to Southern Baptist minister George Rekers, who was famously caught with a male prostitute, as a 'rentboy'.

Tweeting: 'George 'Rentboy' Rekers resigns is still not gay.'

She seems to have made a pastime of musing about the sexuality of celebrities. And she saved some of her harshest judgement for Rush Limbaugh over his wedding.

'Rush Limbaugh's fourth marriage offers a hopeful message for fat, grimey closet-cases everywhere. Get rich. (Karl Rover, you're on deck!)' he said.

In another tweet he added: 'Report: Elton John, Who Is Gay, To Perform At Rush Limbaugh's Wedding.

'Elton to serenade the beard.'

Another tweet took a swipe at Sen Lindsay Graham, after he denied he was gay, writing: 'Respect the highvoice!'

DailyMail.com has reached out to MSNBC and Reid for comment.

The re-emerged tweets, which are still live on Reid's account, have raised questions over her denial about the comments on her blog.

'Joy Ann Reid says the screenshots of homophobic posts on her blog were fabricated. Was she also hacked by whoever made these homophobic and anti-sex worker tweets eight years ago?' one Twitter user asked.

One user joked: 'Tomorrow: "The hackers have a time machine."'

'Look, we all had a pre-woke period. I would cringe if I was confronted with some of the dumb shit I said in High School, and Joy was barely 41 years old when she made these tweets. But how are you gonna have any credibility as a journalist if you lie about things you’ve said?' another added.

The initial scandal emerged after images from her defunct blog, which Reid maintained through 2011, appeared on the Wayback Machine Internet Archive and were screenshot and shared on Twitter by Jamie Maz.

Prior to these new images emerging on Wednesday, which the Twitter use called 'far worse than first reported,' Reid already apologized for homophobic commentary on the blog in question, in a Facebook post dated December 3.

But in an statement provide to Mediaite on Monday, Reid has claimed these new images do 'not represent the original entries' from her blog and were instead posted to her old site by a hacker, though it's not clear when she thinks that happened.

DailyMail.com reached out to Wayback Machine to verify the authenticity of the screenshots, which Reid has not disputed, but has not yet received a reply.

A Twitter user known as Jamie Maz captured what the user has said are screenshots of the blog

The Twitter user who posted the images claimed to be from Reid's blog said the new articles 'had nothing to do with Republican hypocrisy on gay marriage. Joy also opposed gay marriage at the time. She gleefully accused people of being gay and posted a number of questionable things.'

One example allegedly posted in defense of Tim Hardaway's accused homophobia reads: 'Keeping it real … most straight men feel exactly the same way, and would have the exact same reaction to the idea of stripping naked in a sweaty locker room in close quarters with a gay teammate. Most straight people cringe at the sight of two men kissing.'

The post continued: 'Most straight people had a hard time being convinced to watch ‘Broke Back Mountain.’ (I admit that I couldn’t go see the movie either, despite my sister’s ringing endorsement, because I didn’t want to watch the two male characters having sex.) Does that make me homophobic? Probably.'

The tweet immediately following that post includes the following language, attributed to Reid:

'Part of the intrinsic nature of straightness is that homosexual sex is... well... gross,' adding that the author was sure gay people thought straight sex was gross, too.

Reid was criticized with pictures of the alleged posts for 'outing people for clicks'

Reid did not say the images included with the tweets were photo-shopped, but instead claimed that a hacker gained access to her former blog at some point, posting material that she did not create to the site

The Twitter user acknowledged in one tweet that over 'the last few months the site was removed from the Wayback Machine Internet Archive,' speculating the removal was done 'at the request of whoever controls the blog.'

'These screenshots were taken before it came down,' the user added, without explaining the delay in posting the images.

Reid did not say the images included with the tweets were photo-shopped, but instead claimed that a hacker gained access to her former blog at some point, posting material that she did not create to the site.

One 'screenshot' reads: 'Keeping it real … most straight men feel exactly the same way, and would have the exact same reaction to the idea of stripping naked in a sweaty locker room in close quarters with a gay teammate. Most straight people cringe at the sight of two men kissing'

Reid is accused of writing: 'Part of the intrinsic nature of straightness is that homosexual sex is... well... gross,' adding that the author was sure gay people thought straight sex was gross

Images of the blog, titled The Reid Report, which Reid maintained through 2011, have since been removed from Wayback Machine Internet Archive

'In December I learned that an unknown, external party accessed and manipulated material from my now-defunct blog, The Reid Report, to include offensive and hateful references that are fabricated and run counter to my personal beliefs and ideology,' Reid told Mediate.

'I began working with a cyber-security expert who first identified the unauthorized activity, and we notified federal law enforcement officials of the breach. The manipulated material seems to be part of an effort to taint my character with false information by distorting a blog that ended a decade ago.

'Now that the site has been compromised I can state unequivocally that it does not represent the original entries. I hope that whoever corrupted the site recognizes the pain they have caused, not just to me, but to my family and communities that I care deeply about: LGBTQ, immigrants, people of color and other marginalized groups.'

Reid did not note which articles from the blog had been altered, and which, if any, were legitimately authored by her.

Previously, in December, she apologized for posts that came to light through the same internet archive website that these new images are claimed to have been captured from

Reid is seen here attending Variety's Power of Women: New York at Cipriani Wall Street on April 13 in New York City

Reid did not note which articles from the blog had been altered, and which, if any, were legitimately authored by her.

Previously, in December, she apologized for posts that came to light through the same internet archive website that these new images are claimed to have been captured from.

After the same Twitter user tweeted a series of posts citing homophobic work authored by the MSNBC host about former Florida governor Charlie Crist from 2007 to 2009, Reid shared her apology.

'From 2007 to 2009 @joyannreid authored a dozen homophobic posts not only attempting to out Charlie Crist as gay, she attacked & mocked him for being so,' @Jamie_Maz said in the first tweet thread.

'She repeatedly referred to him as 'Miss Charlie' and tagged posts about him under 'gay politicians.''

Crist was Florida's governor from 2007 to 2011. He was infamously known for having supported a state constitutional amendment ban on same-sex marriage in 2008.

But in a 2013 interview with Watermark Online, an online LGBT publication in Orlando, he said: 'I’m sorry I did that. It was a mistake. I was wrong. Please forgive me.'

When asked why he did it, the former governor claimed that he was trying to be a 'good Republican' until it became harder for him to 'toe the Republican party line' since his views on social issues differed from the norm.'

In her apology from December, Reid addressed how she treated Crist in her blog.

'This note is my apology to all who are disappointed by the content of blogs I wrote a decade ago, for which my choice of words and tone have legitimately been criticized,' Reid said in her December post.

The user  shared the first images on November 30, along with an equally blistering critique of the media personality.

In December, when Reid tweeted her apology, Charlie Crist responded and accepted

Reid: 'Thank you congressman. Truly. And here's wishing you a wonderful holiday season'

Reid mentioned in her apology that she prided herself on the 'facility with language' and admitting that was not always the case, especially highlighting the time she worked in Florida covering politics up until 2011.

She added: 'Among the frequent subjects of my posts was then-governor Charlie Crist, at the time a conservative Republican, whose positions on issues like gay marriage and adoption by same-sex couples in Florida shared headlines with widely rumored reports that he was hiding his sexual orientation.'

'Let me be clear: at no time have I intentionally sought to demean or harm the LGBT community, which includes people whom I deeply love,' she said.

'My goal, in my ham-handed way, was to call out potential hypocrisy.'

Reid continued by saying that she regretted the way she addressed the issue and felt the 'mocking tone and sarcasm' used were 'insensitive, tone deaf and dumb.'

She added: 'There is no excusing it - not based on the taste-skewing mores of talk radio or the then-blogosphere, and not based on my intentions.'

Also in December, when Reid tweeted her apology, Crist responded and accepted.

'Long forgotten, but thank you, Joy. I appreciate you,' he said at the time.

Reid then replied: 'Thank you congressman. Truly. And here's wishing you a wonderful holiday season.'

Reid currently hosts a show on MSNBC called AMJoy. She previously hosted a show on the same network titled The Reid Report, which was the title of her blog.

The full text of Reid's apology from December is included below.

The full text of Reid's apology from December is shown here, via a Facebook post

She wrote in her Facebook post from December 3:

'This note is my apology to all who are disappointed by the content of blogs I wrote a decade ago, for which my choice of words and tone have legitimately been criticized.

'As a writer, I pride myself on a facility with language -- an economy of words or at least some wisdom in the selection. However, that clearly has not always been the case.

'In 2007 I was a morning talk radio host and blogger, writing about Florida politics (a blog I maintained until 2011.) Among the frequent subjects of my posts was then-governor Charlie Crist, at the time a conservative Republican, whose positions on issues like gay marriage and adoption by same-sex couples in Florida shared headlines with widely rumored reports that he was hiding his sexual orientation. Those reports were the subject of lots of scrutiny: by LGBTQ bloggers, writers and journalists, conservative blogs, a controversial documentary film called “Outrage,” and even by the comedic writers at South Park. But it was my own attempt at challenging Crist on my blog that has now raised the issue of not just my choice of words, but what was and is in my heart.

'Let me be clear: at no time have I intentionally sought to demean or harm the LGBT community, which includes people whom I deeply love. My goal, in my ham-handed way, was to call out potential hypocrisy.

'Nonetheless, as someone who is not a member of the LGBT community, I regret the way I addressed the complex issue of the closet and speculation on a person’s sexual orientation with a mocking tone and sarcasm. It was insensitive, tone deaf and dumb. There is no excusing it – not based on the taste-skewing mores of talk radio or the then-blogosphere, and not based on my intentions.

'In addition to friends and coworkers and viewers, I deeply apologize to Congressman Crist, who was the target of my thoughtlessness. My critique of anti-LGBT positions he once held but has since abandoned was legitimate in my view. My means of critiquing were not.

'In the years since I went from blogger to opinion journalist, I have also learned, through brilliant friends and allies in the LGBT activist community, how to better frame my critiques of those who challenge people’s right to love who they want, marry them, and walk in the world as fully free people.

'Re-reading those old blog posts, I am disappointed in myself. I apologize to those who also are disappointed in me. Life can be humbling. It often is. But I hope that you know where my heart is, and that I will always strive to use my words for good. I know better and I will do better.'

question: Summarize Joy Ann Reid's response to the accusations.

answer: Joy Ann Reid's initial response to the accusations that she posted homophobic content on an old blog of hers was that she had been hacked. She claimed a hacker had gained access to her former blog at some point, posting material that she didn't create to the site. She said that the anti-gay references run counter to her personal beliefs and ideology. However, she also took to Twitter to apologize for her language and tone in these blog posts. She felt regret in regards to the issue and felt that her language was insensitive.

question: What does the text say about Rush Limbaugh?

answer: In Joy Reid's tweets, she saved her harshest judgement for Rush Limbaugh over his wedding. She said that his fourth marriage offered a "hopeful message for fat, grimey closet-cases everywhere". She also said that Elton John will be serenading "the beard" at Limbaugh's wedding.

question: Summarize what happened in 2011.

answer: The initial scandal regarding Reid emerged after images from her defunct blog appeared on the Wayback Machine Internet Archive. Her blog was maintained through 2011. Around the same time, she worked in Florida covering politics until the same year. Reid came under fire for homophobic comments she made about Florida's governor Crist, who was governor from 2007 until 2011.

An international day of protests over climate change has taken place in cities around the world. It was designed to coincide with UN talks aimed at breathing life into the Paris Agreement.

Nearly 1,000 events were held on Saturday in about 100 countries as part of the "Rise for Climate" protests. The organizers called on governments to end reliance on fossil fuels and move more rapidly toward renewable energy.

The protests coincided with discussions in Bangkok that have become deadlocked on a number of issues, with activists demanding immediate action on CO2 emission pledges, among various other things.

The talks are aimed at creating a draft legal framework for limiting global temperature rises that can be presented to ministers and heads of state at a final round of discussions in Karowice, in southern Poland, in December.

A climate summit opens next week in San Francisco after California's governor proposed the event in the wake of President Donald Trump's withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement.

The 2015 agreement was created with a target of keeping global temperatures from rising another degree Celsius between now and 2100.

Achieving the Paris targets set out in 2015 means the world would have to stop emitting greenhouse gases altogether in the next half-century, according to scientists.

The issue of how the fight against climate change will be funded and how it should be made available to developing nations are key sticking points in the Bangkok talks.

GLOBAL PROTESTS

Starting in Australia, a tall ship sailed through Sydney Harbour in front of the Opera House as activists on board held up protest signs.

In Manila, about 800 people, including one dressed as a T-Rex holding a "Go Fossil Free" sign, marched through the streets protesting the country's heavy reliance on coal.

In Bangkok, 200 protesters assembled in front of the UN regional headquarters, where delegates were discussing how to implement measures agreed by world powers under the 2015 Paris deal. Dozens of Thai fishermen and laborers whose livelihoods are threatened by rising sea levels kicked off the day of protests.

Thousands later marched in Paris, with crowds overflowing a plaza in front of City Hall before marching east to the Place de la Republique.

Organizers in France claimed 115,000 people turned out in what the largest environmental demonstration in the country's history, with 50,000 marching in Paris. The police put the Paris number at 18,500.

The protests followed an appeal on Facebook launched by a man called Maxime Lelong, who described himself as an "ordinary concerned citizen."

Lelong's appeal came in the wake of the resignation of France's environment minister and celebrity green campaigner, Nicolas Hulot, over climate change policy weakness.

"This is the biggest day of climate action in France, it's proof that the citizens are ready to demand commitments from our elected officials after a catastrophic summer when it comes to the climate," said Clemence Dubois, the France campaigner for 350.org.

The front page of France's daily _Liberation_ newspaper featured a call from 700 French scientists for politicians to take action because "solutions are available."

Over 10,000 people turned out in the Danish capital, Copenhagen, while 1,300 rallied in front of the European Parliament in Brussels.
