text:
Over the weekend, our president threatened to shut down the federal government if Congress doesn’t fund his Border Wall, a wall he promised Mexico would pay for — repeatedly.

We also learned that the Republican National Committee paid a quarter of a million dollars last month to the president’s private club, Mar-a-Lago, a flagrant violation of the emoluments clause of the Constitution, which forbids the president from using his office to generate profit.

Oh, and a private member of Mar-a-Lago was allowed to delay a $16 billion project to update the VA’s digital records system.

Which is to say, high-powered journalists interested in covering “real news” had plenty of grist for the mill. Instead, most of them spent weekend whining about comedienne Michelle Wolf, who appeared at the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.

Is it any wonder the president’s hysterical shrieking about “fake news” resonates with his supporters?

The loudest voices in our free press are driven almost entirely by the pursuit of profit, not the truth. At the top of that list are the right-wing propagandists who get paid millions to exalt the grievances of their predominantly white, male audience — the folks who forged Trump’s base.

But it also includes the so-called “mainstream” media, who have acted as Trump’s loyal press agents from the moment he entered politics.

Michelle Wolf roasted lots of folks during her remarks, which was her job. But the comment that offended the assembled media A-listers most was the one they knew to be most disturbingly true:

  _"You guys are obsessed with Trump. Did you used to date him? Because you pretend like you hate him, but I think you love him. I think what no one in this room wants to admit is that Trump has helped all of you. He couldn't sell steaks or vodka or water or college or ties or Eric, but he has helped you. He's helped you sell your papers and your books and your TV. You helped create this monster, and now you're profiting off of him."_

As much as journalists hate to admit it, our Fourth Estate has been in a tacit alliance with Trump all along.

Heck, they created Trump. The incessant coverage of his rallies and rants — remember all those feeds of empty podiums? — was what granted him the appearance of legitimacy. Without this attention, Trump would have remained a fringe figure, a demagogue and conman desperate to fan racial resentment into audience share.

Don’t believe me? Here’s how the chairman of CBS, Les Moonves, explained it in February of 2016, speaking at a media conference sponsored by Morgan Stanley:

  _“It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS … Donald’s place in this election is a good thing. Man, who would have expected the ride we’re all having right now? … The money’s rolling in and this is fun. I’ve never seen anything like this, and this is going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It’s a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going.”_

  Ultimately, Trump and his cabal will be held accountable only if we hold ourselves accountable.

Every reporter and pundit and politician who is wasting time defending or debunking Wolf’s routine — rather than focusing on the kleptocratic aims of this administration, or the simple fact that Flint, Michigan still doesn’t have drinking water — will be judged by history. Not just as peddlers of fake news, but as the failed guardians of democracy.

The president’s ardent enablers will never hold him accountable for his corruptions, because they elected a bully to make them feel safe, not an adult who would govern.

Therefore, the rest of us need to recognize our own complicity in this cycle. If we continue to focus on offensive tweets and comedy routines, our profit-mad media outlets will continue to feed us fake news.

Ultimately, Trump and his cabal will be held accountable only if we hold ourselves accountable.

THRILLOPOLIS was a planned amusement park that was to have been built by Themeparks LLC in the early 2000s. The park was planned to be built in Nashville, Tennessee, near the Adelphia Coliseum. The project was announced in 2002, and was projected to open in 2005. The park was originally planned to be located at an 82-acre site near the Adelphia Coliseum on the banks of the Cumberland River, but after conflicts with the local government, Themeparks LLC planned to build the park in Wilson County. The project was scrapped around 2004-05.

History

Downtown Nashville proposal

In the early 2000s, Themeparks LLC, who were operating Magic Springs and Crystal Falls in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and had sold Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville, Kentucky to Premier Parks in 1997, were looking to expand. The company began working on plans for an amusement park that was to be built in Nashville, Tennessee, a city that had not had any major amusement parks since Opryland USA closed in December 1997.[1] On April 25, 2002, Ed Hart, the CEO of Themeparks LLC, pitched the concept for a Nashville-based theme park called Thrillopolis to Mayor Bill Purcell and the Nashville Chamber of Commerce. Thrillopolis was planned to be built on an 82-acre industrial site, owned by the Steiner Liff Iron and Metal Company, on the banks of the Cumberland River and next to the Adelphia Coliseum.[2] Construction was to begin in late 2002, and the park was going to open in 2005. During the proposal, Themeparks LLC estimated that the park's construction would cost $193 million, the company wanted $127 million in public financing which they would back with a $100 million letter of credit. Maria Partlow, vice president of marketing for Themeparks LLC, said, “We have to have a public-private partnership, that is the model for how these parks work now.”[3]

Several Nashville council members publicly showed opposition for the planned amusement park. Council member J.B. Loring said the proposal “simply doesn’t fit in with the progress of Nashville at all,” and he said that every council member he spoke to agreed with his opinion that the plan was “ridiculous.” Council member Ron Nollner said that the proposal was “Out of the question, In my book, that’s not doable." John Summers, another council member, said that Nashville “shouldn’t be the funding of first resort for a speculative business. If the business doesn’t work out, the city is at risk. Meanwhile, extending the lending capacity to amusement park developers means we have less lending capacity for our real needs, like schools.”[4] Mayor Purcell also showed opposition to the amusement park, saying "Everyone thinks that it would be nice for us to have a theme park, the question is, should we take $127 million in public resources and put it to that use?” Purcell mentioned that he didn't understand why Hart wanted public funding when he didn't seek a bank loan, saying “For returns that are certain, there is a great amount of capital in a market system like ours. For people with ideas to come to a city asking for funding, that usually means that private investors have concluded that it doesn’t meet their standard of risk.” Hart said that he needed credit from the city, because “financing an amusement park of this size privately would mean taking on too much debt.”[5]

Many people were also opposed to the park's proposed location, next to the Adelphia Coliseum and Downtown Nashville. Because of the area's proximity to Downtown Nashville, many were worried about the park's affect on the city's aesthetic, as it would become a noticeable part of Nashville's skyline.[6]

On June 17, 2002, Themeparks LLC announced that the 82-acre riverfront site in Nashville was no longer under consideration as a possible site for Thrillopolis. During the announcement, Hart said that “the company is looking at various other locations in Nashville-Davidson County, as well as in the greater Middle Tennessee region, as potential sites for a park,” Hart continued, saying “It has become apparent that there are divergent opinions about the best use of the Steiner Liff site that do not appear to be reconcilable any time in the near future," adding “Despite our confidence in the initial financing plan, we understand Metro’s concern about assuming credit risk. We look forward to continued discussions with Mayor Purcell to meet his criteria as well as our own.”[7]

Wilson County proposal

On September 18, 2002, The Wilson County Economic Development Board confirmed that Themeparks LLC was looking at several Wilson County sites. Many people in Wilson County were excited that Thrillopolis could be built in the area, one resident said “Maybe it'd save them from raising our taxes again. We'd get out-of-state money coming in.”[8] During preliminary discussions with Wilson County officials, Hart mentioned that a scaled-down version of the park would be built. Unlike the Nashville proposal, a water park would be built first, and then expand to add amusement rides.[9] On October 15, 2002, Themeparks LLC announced that they had signed an exclusivity agreement with Wilson County for the development of a theme park. Under the one-year covenant, the two moved forward with a feasibility study to project the potential economic benefits of a public-private partnership.[10] However, Themeparks LLC decided not to build an amusement park in Tennessee, and Thrillopolis was canceled around 2004-05.

During an interview in April 2014, Hart talked about Thrillopolis, he said “I was interested in opening up a theme park in Nashville, and Opryland had closed, and we tried to work that out with a number of city and state officials. We were at it for about two or three years, but it didn't work out, and some things don't, but it would have been interesting for Nashville to once again have had a nice regional theme park.”[11]

title: Thrillopolis

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about the level of opposition against the proposed Thrillopolis amusement park?

answer: The level of opposition to the proposed Thrillopolis amusement park is high. Many members of the Nashville City Council, as well as Mayor Bill Purcell, publicly expressed opposition to the park. Many were concerned that the park would harm the aesthetic quality of the city, and there were concerns about whether the park was worth public funding. The project was eventually scrapped around 2004-05.

answer: Opposition for the proposed park was quite severe. Many council members publicly showed opposition for the entertainment park. One council member said that the proposal simply did not fit with the progress of Nashville. Another council member said proposing the project was "ridiculous." Another one was worried that the parks location would become a noticeable part of Nashville's skyline. The mayor himself said that a theme park may not be the best use of public resources and raised the question of whether it'll be worth the trouble that could be brought.

answer: Several Nashville council members publicly opposed the amusement park. One council member, J.B. Loring, said the proposal doesn't fit in with the progress of Nashville. He also said that the council members he spoke to found the Thrillopolis plan (public/private partnership) "ridiculous". Another council member, Ron Noller, said the proposal was "out of the question", while John Summers stated that Themeparks LLC shouldn't be asking Nashville to fund its speculative business. If Thrillopolis doesn't work out, it puts the city at risk. Even Mayor Purcell opposed the idea, questioning why Themeparks LLC just didn't get a bank loan instead of asking for funding from the city. Many people also opposed the park's proposed location, saying it was too near downtown Nashville.

answer: Most local Nashville city council members were publicly opposed to the planned amusement park, citing concerns about public financing and its potential affect on the city's aesthetic. However, some residents of Wilson County originally expressed excitement at the prospect of having the park at their location. Ultimately, the project was scrapped around 2004-05.

answer: There was high level of opposition to the park's proposed location near the Adelphia Coliseum and in downtown Nashville. Several Nashville city council members publicly showed opposition for the planned amusement park, including J.B. Loring and Ron Nollner. Loring stated that the proposal "simply doesn't fit in with the progress of Nashville at all." Nollner said that the proposal "shouldn't be the funding of first resort for a speculative business." Loring also said that the park's location "would become a noticeable part of Nashville's skyline." Understandably, people were also opposed to commercialize public spaces like parks and turning them into sanitized amusement parks.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about Themeparks LLC's pitch for Thrillopolis?

answer: On April 25, 2002, Themeparks LLC announced the concept for a Nashville-based theme park, Thrillopolis, to Mayor Bill Purcell and the Nashville Chamber of Commerce. The company wanted to built the park on an 82-acre industrial site in Wilson County. The construction would have begun in late 2002, and the park would have opened in 2005. The company planned to receive $127 million in public funding to which it would back with a $100 million letter of credit. When the public unleashed their opposition to the park's location, Themeparks LLC decided to look at other locations.

answer: Asked by Mayor Purcell to pitch a theme park development in Nashville, Themeparks LLC proposed one called Thrillopolis. The ride sites were to be located on the banks of the Cumberland River and next to the Adelphia Coliseum. The company wanted $127 million in public financing which they would back with a $100 million letter of credit. During discussions, the company decided that it would try to move forward with Wilson County's economic development board. The company did not build an amusement park in Tennessee, and Thrillopolis was canceled around 2004-05.

answer: Ed Hart, CEO of Themeparks LLC, pitched a Nashville-based theme park called Thrillopolis to Mayor Bill Purcell and the Nashville Chamber of Commerce. Thrillopolis was planned to be built on an 82-acre industrial site on the banks of the Cumberland River next to the Adelphia Coliseum. Themeparks LLC estimated the park's construction would cost $193 million. However, the company wanted a public-private partnership, meaning they wanted $127 million in public financing which they would back with a $100 million letter of credit. This didn't sit well with the mayor and the city council, because the project was speculative and carried too much risk for the city.

answer: Themeparks LLC's proposal for building an amusement park called Thrillopolis in Nashville, Tennessee was met with opposition from Nashville's Mayor, council members, and citizens. Their proposed site by the Cumberland River near the Adelphia Coliseum was scrapped due to disagreements. Themeparks LLC then looked to build the park in Wilson County instead. The feasibility study showed that there were economic benefits to partnering with Thrillopolis, but it was ultimately canceled.

answer: Themeparks LLC wanted to open an amusement park called Thrillopolis in Nashville, Tennessee. Council members and the mayor opposed the proposal because of concerns about the project's economic future and its affect on aesthetics. The company eventually scrapped the project and did not build an amusement park in Tennessee.

This article includes a list of commercial recordings of the motets of Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach motets have often been recorded as a set (typically comprising the six motets catalogued as BWV225-230). However, other motets are attributed to Bach and there is some doubt about the authorship of _Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden_, BWV 230, one of the “six”.

A single CD has the capacity to contain the set of six motets plus some other works. For example, Maasaki Suzuki's 2009 recording with the Bach Collegium Japan on BIS includes _O Jesu Christ, meins Lebens Licht_, BWV 118 (which at one time was categorised as a cantata) and _Ich lasse dich nicht_, BWV Anh. 159 (the authorship of which has been disputed).[1] The motets chosen for a particular recording project can reflect the way the balance of opinion changes regarding the status of particular work: given Bach's status as one of the great composers, a firm attribution to him is likely to result in more interest in recording the piece in question. For example, was not included by John Eliot Gardiner and the Monteverdi Choir in their first set recorded in 1980. However, they included it in their 2011 recording,[2] by which time scholarly opinion had re-assessed the work.

Recordings have also been made of the less securely attributed and even spurious motets. For example, Wolfgang Helbich recorded _The Apocryphal Bach Motets_, sung by the Alsfelder Vokalensemble, in 1993 (released in 1994, re-issued 2014).[3][4]

Types of choirs

Choirs with one voice per part (OVPP) are used in some historically informed performances of Bach. However, OVPP recordings of the motets are in the minority. Exceptions include the Hilliard Ensemble's second set,[5] and Konrad Junghänel with the group Cantus Cölln.[6] Philippe Herreweghe's second set uses OVPP for some motets, for example _Jesus meine Freude_, and not others.[7]

At least some of the motets would have been first performed by singers from Leipzig's Thomanerchor, which comprises boys and young men. This choir has recorded the motets (initially under Günther Ramin in the 1950s),[8] as have other choirs with boys' voices such as the Choir of New College, Oxford.[9]

Instrumental accompaniment

Music directors need to make choices about the instrumental accompaniment, if any, to be used. There are three possible approaches:

-   _a cappella_, that is, without an accompaniment
-   instruments doubling the vocal lines, something which is described as playing _colla parte_
-   Basso continuo, or just an organ accompaniment, to provide some instrumental support for the singers

Surviving sources do not make it clear what Bach's approach was to the accompaniment of most of these pieces. In the case of _Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf_, BWV 226 orchestral parts are extant, indicating that choir I was doubled by strings and choir II by reeds (two oboes, taille and bassoon). There is also a basso continuo provided (separate violone and organ parts) which underlies both choirs.[10] An accompaniment is also specified for _Lobet den Herrn_.[11]

La Petite Bande and Bach Collegium Japan, for example, use the orchestration of _Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf_ for the other pieces for double choir. However, _a capella_ performance is long-established tradition,[12] which is also reflected in recordings. The Hilliard Ensemble's OVPP version is mainly _a capella_. They omit the instrumental parts of _Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf_, but sing _Lobet den Herrn_ to organ accompaniment.[13]

The recordings with continuo accompaniment include The Sixteen's version (the instruments are cello, violone, theorbo, organ) and the second recording by the Monteverdi Choir (cello, double bass, bassoon and organ).[14]

History

The first of the motets to be recorded was _Jesu meine Freude_ in 1927. This version was sung in English.[15]

Awards

In 2010, Suzuki and his ensemble were given a French award (Diapason d’Or de l’Année) and a German award (Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik) for their recording of Bach motets on BIS.

John Eliot Gardiner, who has won more Gramophone Awards than any other living artist, received one for his second recording of the motets with the Monteverdi Choir on SDG. It was one of the 2013 awards, the category being “Baroque Vocal”.

Grete Pedersen with the Norwegian choir Det Norske Solistkor won a Diapason d'Or in 2018 for their recording of the motets on BIS.

Discography

The intention has been to feature versions which are still available. The year given is that of recording. In the case of pre-1980s recordings, the date of reissue on CD can be significantly later than the original recording.

She trembles as I run my fingers along the edges of her shoulder where warm flesh meets cold steel. I trace a line with the tip of my finger, curving under her breast. She lifts up her head and kisses me. From up close I can see her eyes have been augmented, the miniscule iris shutter opens and contract as I pull back. I reach down and touch her. Tiny servomotors in her spine hum at the dullest edge of my hearing as she arches her back. A moan escapes her lips as her neural implants release a flood of dopamine. I enter her. Her eyes clench shut.
Everything goes white as my operating system takes a moment to come to grips with the overload. Our bodies rush to meet each other, flesh pressing against flesh, steel against titanium. I kiss her neck, as she runs her fingers down my back. Her bio-mechanical steel hand grips my titanium shoulder and clenches with a force designed to rip a tank to shreds.
The world falls away.
The war a distant memory.

QONQURTAI () was a Mongol prince and viceroy of Anatolia for the Ilkhanate khanate.

Life

Qonqurtai was born to Hulagu Khan and Ajuja Aguchi, his Khitan concubine wife. Qonqurtai was Hulagu's ninth son and was the senior commander during the reign of his brother Abaqa. He was twice appointed as viceroy of Anatolia, first during the reign of Abaqa and then under Tekuder. His winter quarters were in Kazova plains near Tokat, while his viceroyalty itself has centred around Kayseri.

Rule in Anatolia

Qonqurtai was appointed as commander of Ilkhanid army in Anatolia with Shams al-Din Juvayni as his vizier after the Battle of Elbistan in 1277 to support the Sultanate of Rum against revolting Turcomans.[1] He pursed Jimri, a claimant to Seljuk throne, and attacked his patrons - the Karamanids. As a consequence, Mehmet I of Karaman was captured and executed together with his sons Mahmud and Karaman in October 1277.[2] Qonqurtai further authorised Sâhib Ata to act on his behalf. He aided Kaykhusraw III's efforts to subdue Karamanids and Eshrefids in 1282. However, Qonqurtai had to cease his activities upon hearing the death of Abaqa.

Upon the death of Abaqa, Qonqurtai supported Tekuder's succession in Maragha, who in return gave him the hand of Toqiyatai Khatun, a Keraite concubine of Hulagu and niece of Dokuz Khatun on 12 July 1282. He was also re-appointed as viceroy of Anatolia the same day.[3] However, later in Tekuder's reign, he shifted his alliance to Arghun, which made the former suspicious. Qonqurtai was summoned to Karabakh, accused of conspiracy and was arrested by Tegüder's son-in-law, Alinaq - the viceroy of Georgia on 17 January 1284, and was executed next day by breaking his neck.[4] Later, Arghun had put Tekuder on trial for Qonqurtai's death, who suffered the same penalty as him.

Personality

He was described as a wise ruler in _Zafarnamah_ by Hamdullah Mustawfi,[5] while Qalawun considered him as a not only dishonorable, but also cruel man.[6]

Family

He was married to Toqiyatai Khatun (d. 1292), a Keraite concubine of Hulagu and niece of Dokuz Khatun on 12 July 1282, and only two of his children reached adulthood.[7]:

1.  Esen Timur Kharbanda (executed by Ghazan in 1296[8])
    1.  Pulad
2.  Ildar (executed by Ghazan in 1296[9])
    1.  Aq Timur
3.  Karai (died in infancy)
4.  Changtimur (died in infancy)
5.  Tashtimur (died in infancy)
6.  Ashightimur (died in infancy)
7.  Akash m (died in infancy)

The film sees Smith playing two opposing roles: one of Henry, an aging assassin who wants to get out of the business, and that of his ultimate opponent, a clone who is 25 years younger and at the peak of his abilities that has been tasked to kill him.

Winstead, who beat out _Orphan Black_ star Tatiana Maslany for the role, will play an operative who works for the same company as Henry and has been ordered to surveil him. However, she soon teams up with him.

Clive Owen is currently in talks to play one of the villains of the movie, the head of the cloning program.

Jerry Bruckheimer is producing along with Skydance’s David Ellison and Dana Goldberg. Don Murphy is executive producing.

Winstead, whose last movie turn was in the hit _10 Cloverfield Lane_, is coming off a co-starring run in season three of FX’s acclaimed _Fargo_. She is repped by WME and attorney Karl Austen of Jackoway Tyerman.

Vancouver and Toronto ranked as the unhappiest cities in Canada, according to a recent study from UBC’s Vancouver School of Economics and McGill University.

Researchers looked at life satisfaction across over 1,200 communities across the country and found that people living in cities reported being less happier than those living in rural communities.

Trending Stories

Vancouver and Toronto were virtually tied for the bottom spot among all 98 Census Metropolitan Areas and Economic Regions.

The study is based on data from Statistics Canada’s Canadian Community Health Surveys and the General Social Survey with over 400,000 respondents.

Researchers say the key happiness question asks people how satisfied they are with their lives as a whole on a scale of one to 10 where zero means extremely dissatisfied and 10 means extremely satisfied.

John Helliwell, professor emeritus and one of the researchers says one way of looking at what makes a happier community is to see what distinguishes the 20 happiest per cent of communities from the least happy 20 per cent.

Helliwell says the biggest difference between the happiest and least happy communities is how much of a sense of belonging people feel towards their community."Trust, involvement and a chance to join with others engaged in improving lives are all connected, with each adding happiness."

He says average incomes and unemployment rates were not a factor in the study but happier communities have lower commute times, and fewer people spending more than 30 per cent on housing.

Researchers say the findings indicate that planners and neighbours need to create times and spaces for these connections to flourish in order to improve happiness in cities.
