| Ex-Chelsea talent Boga insists he can reach Hazard's level - Goal.com Posted: 09 Mar 2020 11:25 PM PDT  Sassuolo star Jeremie Boga believes that he has enough untapped talent to one day perform at the same standard as Real Madrid's Eden Hazard. Hazard spent seven trophy-laden years with Chelsea, with Boga able to look on and absorb the Belgian's talents from the sidelines as he came up through the Blues' academy. Real Madrid's latest 'Galactico' is considered a Chelsea legend at this stage, while 23-year-old Boga still has a lot of career ahead of him to make a similar mark – though that is something he believes he can do. "Hazard is definitely stronger than me, but not in my head, because I know my talent and I know that over time I can reach that level," the winger told DAZN . "I watch many videos of [Lionel] Messi, [Hatem] Ben Arfa and Hazard. Now I like Neymar, too, but I always watch the first three." One name missing off that list is Cristiano Ronaldo, whom young Boga had the pleasure of coming up against when Sassuolo met Juventus in a 2-2 draw in Turin earlier this campaign. Boga scored a wonderful goal past Gianluigi Buffon in that game, but his efforts to leave five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo in his dust through trickery didn't quite go to plan. "I tried to overcome him with the 'scavetto', but the ball didn't go too high. Let's just say that the trick could have been better," he laughed. "Dribbling and playing one against one... it has always been like that since I was a child." Adding on his audacious chip over Buffon, he said: "My first thought, after doing the one-two with Ciccio (Francesco Caputo), was to pull hard on his right. "Then, I don't know what exactly happened in my head, but I changed my mind at the last moment and I decided to chip it. "I don't look at who I have in front of me, though, even if he is the strongest goalkeeper in the world. If I have the possibility to make such a goal, I try." Boga has been a standout since joining the Neroverdi in Italy's top flight, scoring 11 goals in 49 league appearances. After making the move from Stamford Bridge, Boga has since been linked with a transfer back to London, with Chelsea reportedly having a buyback clause in his contract. The winger is also said to have drawn transfer interest from clubs across Europe, with Brighton, Lille and Celta Vigo all linked with enquiring for his services.

| Chinese President Xi Jinping visits Wuhan for the first time since the coronavirus outbreak - CNBC Posted: 09 Mar 2020 10:37 PM PDT  Chinese President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, chairs a symposium at the School of Medicine at Tsinghua University in Beijing, capital of China, March 2, 2020. Yan Yan | Xinhua News Agency | Getty Images Chinese President Xi Jinping flew into Wuhan city on Tuesday morning to inspect new coronavirus control efforts, according to state news broadcaster CCTV. The visit marks the latest step in the leader's public turnaround on involvement in fighting the disease, which has killed more than 3,100 people in the country after emerging in Wuhan in late December. Officially called COVID-19, the disease has now hit more than 100 countries including the U.S. and several in Europe. Fears of the virus' impact to worldwide economic growth have sent global markets reeling. While the spread of the virus accelerated in January, Xi took a relatively low-key stance and first addressed the disease publicly in a Jan. 20 statement carried by state media that called for "resolute efforts" in fighting the virus. Instead, his second-in-command Li Keqiang is leading a national-level virus prevention and control leading group, and visited Wuhan on Jan. 27, more than a month ago. Xi began to take a more prominent public role in fighting the virus in mid-February. Notably, on Feb. 15, the Communist Party journal "Qiushi" published a Feb. 3 speech in which the president claimed to have known about the disease as early as Jan. 7. Since then, Xi's public statements and appearances at virus-prevention sites have only increased. The Chinese leader has emphasized the need to balance preventing the spread of the disease with supporting the economy, which has struggled to resume normal activity due to lockdowns and other efforts to limit the highly contagious virus' spread. Xi's visit to Wuhan comes as the number of new confirmed cases, mostly in the city or other parts of the surrounding Hubei province, has dwindled to below 50 a day. State media reported Sunday that 11 of 14 makeshift hospitals in Wuhan for treatment of the new coronavirus have closed. "I always felt that the number one signal for the Chinese government having enough confidence to declare this as the end would be when President Xi goes to Wuhan," Mark Matthews, managing director and head of research Asia at Bank Julius Baer, told CNBC's "Street Signs Asia." "So the fact that you see he's there I think is extremely important for the economy and for the market," Matthews said. Major mainland Chinese stock indexes jumped more than 1% as markets reopened for the Tuesday afternoon trading session. — CNBC's Yen Nee Lee contributed to this report.

| VIDEO: Italian soccer player sends message about coronavirus after goal - Insider - INSIDER Posted: 09 Mar 2020 08:25 PM PDT
Concern about the spread of the coronavirus has led to cautionary measures to be taken in Italy's Serie A. The league was forced to suspend play on Monday after the Italian government halted all sports in the country due to the coronavirus outbreak. Italy has already been hit hard by the virus, with more than 7,300 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 366 deaths as of Monday. In what wound up being one of the final sporting events in Italy before the halt of play, Sassuolo forward Francesco Caputo sent fans watching at home a message of hope through the television. In front of a home stadium that was already empty due to the virus, Caputo scored the opening goal of the match just before halftime, putting Sassuolo ahead of Brescia. After finding the back of the net, Caputo ran towards the camera and held up a sign that read, "Everything will be fine. Stay safe at home." —ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) March 9, 2020 Caputo would go on to score again in the second half, leading Sassuolo to a 3-0 victory. Sporting events have been suspended until the first week of April, but whenever Sassuolo is back in action, fans will be ready to show their appreciation for Caputo.

| Confusion in Italy over coronavirus lockdown - Gazette Posted: 09 Mar 2020 07:07 PM PDT Confusion has hit northern Italy over who can go where and under what circumstances on the first business day since the government locked down a vast area with more than a quarter of the Italian population in a desperate attempt to contain the coronavirus. Rocketing infections cemented Italy as a global virus hotspot, and superficial compliance with earlier restrictions covering 11 towns prompted the government to extend its quarantine order to encompass the entire Lombardy region and 14 provinces in the Piemonte, Veneto and Emilia Romagna regions. Streets in Milan, Italy's financial hub and the main city in Lombardy, were unseasonably quiet. Checkpoints were set up at the city's main train station to screen travellers.  People at Milan Central Station were required to sign a police form, self-certifying they were travelling for "proven work needs", situations of necessity, health reasons or to return to their homes. "Until a few days ago, the thinking was the alarm would pass in some weeks, we just need to follow the rules. Now we need to explain to citizens that the situation is very, very serious, our hospitals are at the point of collapse," said the mayor of the city of Bergamo, Giorgio Gori. People circulating inside the city and also in the provinces were subjected to spot checks to ensure they had valid reasons for being out. Violators risked up to three months jail or fines. The message from authorities was an increasingly blunt "Stay at home".  Italy had registered 1,807 more confirmed cases by Monday evening, for a national total of 9,172, again overtaking South Korea as the country with the most cases outside China. The number of dead in Italy also increased by 97 to 463. Premier Giuseppe Conte signed a decree early on Sunday attempting to lock down 16 million people in Italy's prosperous north – more than a quarter of Italy's population — for nearly a month to halt the virus's relentless march across Europe. The extraordinary measures, which also apply to the city of Venice, will be in place until April 3. The regions affected by the decree are among the most productive in Italy. Industry leaders worry about a perception being created abroad that all business is shut down and commercial deliveries of exports cannot be made. The civil protection agency has emphasised that commercial freight is not affected by the crackdown, but that does not address what happens to drivers who leave the containment area. In theory, they would be subject to 14-day quarantines once they return from trips outside the red zones. For travellers and commuters, procedures at main railway stations have been tightened significantly since the Sunday morning decree. Pairs of police officers in masks backed by pairs of masked armed soldiers check tickets and documents of people arriving and departing.

| Philadelphia Union defender produces what might be the best goal of the MLS season - CBS Sports Posted: 09 Mar 2020 06:25 PM PDT  Some would call shooting a free kick from nearly 40 yards out a waste of time unless you are an absolute legend like Roberto Carlos or David Beckham. Others would describe it as overly ambitious and audacious. What Philadelphia Union defender Jakob Glesnes did on Sunday night can only be described as truly remarkable. The Union and Los Angeles FC played out a wild 3-3 draw on Sunday night at Banc of California Stadium, which was highlighted by one of the great goals of this young, two-week-old season. The Norwegian center back scored a goal that could end up being worthy of winning the FIFA Puskas Award for the most beautiful goal of 2020. Glesnes, from around 40 yards out, rifled a free kick straight into the upper corner and left spectators in L.A. absolutely stunned. Take a look as this perfect strike: It's one of those where you usually feel confident in giving him 100 tries to do it again and you know that it won't happen, but there was a confidence and a form behind that shot that just tells you he knew exactly what he was doing. It was clean, struck well with the laces, had some fantastic movement and was just unstoppable. It turns out he's also done something similar: It's only March, but that's probably going to stick as the top contender for MLS goal of the year come season's end in November. That is until he does it again from midfield. Some players have the ability to strike a ball with a knuckle-like effect, and he seems to be one of them. That was his first goal for the club in just his second game, and with one strike he's made a name for himself in MLS as one of the new foreign players to watch.

| Virus closes sites around the world; stocks, oil prices sink - Kamsack Times Posted: 09 Mar 2020 06:07 PM PDT  SOAVE, Italy — The battle to halt the coronavirus brought sweeping new restrictions Monday, with Italy expanding a travel ban to the entire country, Israel ordering all visitors quarantined just weeks before Passover and Easter, and Spain closing all schools in and around its capital. Even as workers in Beijing returned to their jobs and new infections in China continued to subside, Italians struggled to navigate the rapidly changing parameters of the nation's self-imposed lockdown. The fears fanned by the virus sent Wall Street stocks tumbling to their biggest drop since 2008, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 7.8 per cent. Global oil prices suffered their worst percentage losses since the start of the 1991 Gulf War. "Now that the virus has a foothold in so many countries, the threat of a pandemic has become very real," said World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. "The great advantage we have is the decisions we all make as governments, businesses, communities, families and individuals can influence the trajectory of this epidemic." More than 113,000 people have tested positive for the disease and over 3,900 people with the virus have died, most of them in China. More than 62,000 people have already recovered. But Italy's intensifying struggle to halt the virus' spread emerged as a cautionary tale. "There won't be just a red zone," Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said, in announcing that a lockdown covering about 16 million people in the north would be expanded to the entire country starting Tuesday. Italian doctors celebrated one small victory after the first patient diagnosed with the illness, a 38-year-old Unilever worker, was moved out of intensive care and began breathing on his own. But the virus' rapid spread was forcing them to operate like war-time medics, triaging patients to decide who get access to scarce ICU beds. "Unfortunately we're only at the beginning," said Dr. Massimo Galli, head of infectious disease at Milan's Sacco hospital. Travellers at Milan's main train station had to sign police forms self-certifying that they are travelling for "proven work needs,'' situations of necessity, health reasons or to return home. Across Italy, museums and archaeological sites were closed, weddings were cancelled and restaurants were told to keep patrons a meter (more than 3 feet) apart. Officials ordered ski lifts across the country to close after students whose classes were cancelled began organizing trips to winter resorts. Italy reported a big jump in the number of people who have tested positive for the virus, bringing the total to 9,172 cases and 463 deaths, more than any country except China. Inmates at more than two dozen Italian prisons rioted against restrictions on family visits and other containment measures, and six died after they broke into the infirmary and overdosed on methadone. Pope Francis celebrated Mass alone at the Vatican hotel where he lives, live-streaming the event, but he did resume some meetings. For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. The vast majority of people recover from the new virus. According to the WHO, people with mild illness get better in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three to six weeks to recover. In mainland China, where the virus first exploded, more than 80,000 people have been diagnosed and more than 58,000 have so far recovered. But that came only after Chinese officials put massive quarantines in place. Around the virus spreads, officials are embracing less strict, but still aggressive measures. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his government has decided to quarantine anyone arriving from overseas for 14 days. The decision comes barely a month before Easter and Passover, typically a busy travel period. In Ireland, officials cancelled all St. Patrick's Day parades in a bid to slow the virus' spread, including the one on March 17 in Dublin that typically draws half a million to its streets. Spain's health minister on Monday announced that all schools in and around Madrid, including kindergartens and universities, will close for two weeks after a sharp spike in new virus diagnoses. The rising caseload "imply a change for the worse," the minister, Salvador Illa, said. Trying to send a message of confidence in the economy, French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife walked on Paris' Champs-Elysees avenue but kept a one-meter security distance from passersby. "I'm shaking hands using my heart," he said as he waved to people from a distance. China reported just 40 new cases of the virus, its lowest number since Jan. 20. More than three-quarters of the country's surviving virus patients have been released from treatment. But the country's slow re-emergence from weeks of extreme travel restrictions spotlighted the virus' continued economic impact. "Our business is one-fifth of what it was before," said Cheng Sheng, who helps run a stand in Beijing that sells sausages and noodles. "There's much less foot traffic. There are no people." Infections were reported in more than half the world's countries, and flashpoints were erupting around the globe. "We are working for valuable time, time in which scientists can research medicines and a vaccine" and in which governments can help stock up on protective equipment, said German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose country has reported over 1,100 cases and, as of Monday, its first two deaths. In Iran, state television said the virus had killed another 43 people, pushing the official toll to 237, with 7,161 confirmed cases. But many fear the scope of illness is far wider there. South Korea reported 165 more cases, bringing its total to 7,478. In the United States, where more than 600 infections and 26 deaths have been reported, the Grand Princess cruise ship docked in Oakland, California, after days idling at sea while dozens of those aboard were tested. Fleets of buses and planes were ready to whisk the more than 2,000 passengers to military bases or their home countries for a 14-day quarantine. At least 21 people aboard have been confirmed to have the infection. In Washington, the Capitol's attending physician's office said "several" members of Congress had contact with a person who attended a recent political conference and subsequently developed COVID-19. They "remain in good health," the office said. Three members of Congress, Sen. Ted Cruz and Reps. Doug Collins and Paul Gosar, said they are isolating themselves after determining they had contact with the person. After earlier closing its land borders, Saudi Arabia cut off air and sea travel to and from Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Italy, Kuwait, Lebanon, South Korea, Syria and the United Arab Emirates. All Saudi schools and universities closed beginning Monday. Qatar cut off travel to 15 countries and said it would shut down schools and universities beginning Tuesday. Organizers of the annual Holocaust remembrance march in southern Poland postponed it this year due to coronavirus fears, and soccer authorities said at least four major matches — in France, Germany and Spain — would take place with no fans. ___ Geller reported from New York.

| Posted: 09 Mar 2020 05:43 PM PDT  She's fundraising for the surgery. (SWNS) A transgender actress is fundraising for "feminisation" jaw surgery after believing her jaw is holding her back from getting lead roles. Amelia Hindle, 23, who has gender dysphoria, says she needs £15,000 for surgery to make her jawline more feminine. The procedure is not covered by the NHS. "I understand for a lot of trans people the genital surgery for them is most important, but people see my face every day - not many people see what's in my pants." The actress, who works as a ghoul at Blackpool Tower Dungeon, admitted. She said she's "uncomfortable" with her strong jaw. (SWNS) "I'm uncomfortable having male genitalia but I'm far more uncomfortable with my stronger nose and my masculine jawline." Read more: Gabrielle Union's daughter comes out as transgender Hindle didn't come out until 2017, so her earlier theatre roles were male parts. She has been on the NHS waiting list to undergo lower surgery for three years, but it's not expected to take place for another one to two years. In 2017, she was diagnosed with gender dysphoria - when a person experiences discomfort or distress because there is a mismatch between their biological sex and gender identity. She can trace her struggle back to being 12-years-old when she started to have her first inclinations that she was born in the wrong body. "It has slowed me down and I feel if I wasn't trans I'd have got into drama school. I'm also often type-casted in transgender roles. "In some ways it can be good as it makes you more memorable and people are interested in you but it can also impede you. "That's one of the reasons why the facial surgery is so important to me. "My face is my tool and if it passed more as typically feminine then I could fly under the radar and land female roles." Her experiences have taken an emotional toll. (SWNS) Read more: Transgender woman forced to remove make-up for driving license photo It wasn't until Hindle was 15 that she began researching gender dysphoria. The time in between had a huge impact on her emotions - as well as her ability to socialise. "I was permanently acting to cover it up. I was burnt out a lot and felt inferior and embarrassed." She admitted. At 20, she found the courage to come out as transgender and take steps towards getting the help she needed. This involves a long wait for genital surgery, but in the meantime Hindle has been able to see a private specialist to speed up the process with hormones. Facial surgery is not covered by the NHS, though. "These professionals know what gender dysphoria is but I don't blame the NHS because they are woefully underfunded, and it is more expensive to have the facial surgery. "So as frustrating as it is I can see why they do that. "However, I think there needs to be more education in schools, the media and medical world, as even some GPs don't know how to treat the condition. "There are some misconceptions and trans people just need to be normalised. "We've sometimes been treated as a joke by people." She's currently funding the treatment herself.

| Posted: 09 Mar 2020 05:39 PM PDT  The first U.S. election to make mobile voting available to all eligible voters went off without a hitch — at least according to the organizers of the pilot. An audit of the election has found that the Seattle-area mobile voting pilot was as reliable as traditional methods, while dramatically increasing turnout in the King Conservation District Board of Supervisors election on Feb. 11. But experts in the security community remain skeptical of online voting as election officials across the country begin embracing the technology.  For the record, the historic election was won by beekeeper Chris Porter, with 5,012 votes. Runner up Stephen Carl Deutschman received 1,146 votes, and 64 ballots were cast for write-in candidates. The pilot was a collaboration between the King Conservation District — a resource-management organization operating under Washington state authority — and King County Elections, Tusk Philanthropies, Democracy Live, and the National Cybersecurity Center. Democracy Live is a Seattle-based company that makes mobile ballots and other election tools. The National Cybersecurity Center is a Colorado-based think tank that launched in 2018. The organization conducted the audit of the King Conservation District election and discovered 93.77 percent of voters opted to cast their ballots online. The electronic signatures required to submit online ballots had an approval rate of 99.63 percent, according to the audit. With 6,280 ballots submitted, voter turnout doubled compared to last year's King Conservation District Board of Supervisors election, Tusk Philanthropies said. That turnout rate could be driven, in part, by the increased publicity the election received due to the mobile voting pilot. "One of the things we were really interested in learning, going in, was with people using either their stylus, their finger on their device, or a mouse … we were really interested to see how that signature comparison would work out," said Kendall LeVan Hodson, King County Elections' chief of staff. "It was really pretty consistent. Typically we see 1 to 1.5 percent of ballots have some sort of signature issue, whether a voter forgot to sign or their signature didn't match. This was in the lower end of that spectrum for this election." Washington state traditionally operates on a vote-by-mail system, and election officials are trained to compare ballot signatures to their records. When the mobile voting pilot was announced, it sparked concern that those officials would have to lower their standards or throw out a higher number of ballots because electronic signatures don't always match handwritten ones. "We definitely used the same standards," LeVan Hodson said. Previously: We voted with a smartphone in a Seattle-area election, and this is what we discoveredThe numbers suggest that the mobile voting pilot was a success, but some election security experts say they don't tell the whole story. Eric Mill, a technology product manager who specializes in security, said that a more thorough examination of security is needed before the technology expands to other elections. Mill previously worked as a Senate staffer focusing mainly on election security. "Democracy Live could give people more confidence in their systems, and in mobile voting generally, if they were performing sufficient security auditing and analysis on their components," he said. "We have to know how an election, with their systems, will go when things don't go right, when they have sophisticated groups attacking their system." Mill is concerned that the audit published by the National Cybersecurity Center does not include an assessment of how Democracy Live and election officials would respond if there were an attempted hack. "When it's just a tiny pilot, there's not a whole lot of value for somebody conducting an attack on that election that would make it worth that risk," he said. Voters participating in the mobile voting pilot entered their names and birthdays to verify their identities and pull up their Democracy Live online ballots. They cast their votes using a smartphone or other internet-connected device and then signed electronically. "We have to assume that names and birthdays and images of signatures and Social Security numbers are all purchasable on the black market, and fraudulently registering voters can be done in automated ways that aren't easy to distinguish from real human registration," Mill said. "If someone wanted to go get this information for voters in, for example, a few key counties in a swing state, that would be something within range for motivated groups and individuals to do." Prior to the King Conservation District Election, mobile voting was primarily used for military and overseas voters. But that is starting to change thanks to Tusk Philanthropies. Bradley Tusk, a former political strategist and early Uber investor, is bankrolling the Mobile Voting Project, a campaign to expand online voting across the country. In some mobile voting pilots, Tusk Philanthropies has enlisted Voatz, another developer of online ballots. Some counties in Washington and Oregon have used or are planning to use Voatz in primaries elections, including the 2020 election despite warnings from MIT researchers about the security and privacy of the app. Last month, Democracy Live CEO Bryan Finney told GeekWire that his company is testing mobile voting slowly and purposefully in small elections before scaling up. "Unless we start now and start small, start responsibly, we're never going to get there," he said. "That's in part the intent of this, to better secure ballot transmission and start to speak the language of the next generation of voters."

| Three seniors named finalists for Young Alumni Trustee position - The Daily Princetonian Posted: 09 Mar 2020 06:50 AM PDT Three seniors named finalists for Young Alumni Trustee position - The Daily Princetonian  Nathan Poland '20 (left), Jackson Artis (middle), and Chelsie Alexandre '20 (right) Photos courtesy of Poland, Artis, and AlexandreAfter 10 days of voting, the Class of 2020 elected three finalists for the position of Young Alumni Trustee (YAT). Chelsie Alexandre '20, Jackson Artis '20, and Nathan Poland '20 will appear on the ballot in April. Each spring, one member of the graduating class is elected to serve a four-year term on the University's Board of Trustees. This year, 28 students vied for the position. Online voting for members of the senior class took place from Feb. 25 to March 5. Alexandre, Artis, and Poland were named finalists on Thursday, March 5, after receiving more votes than the other 25 candidates. One of these three candidates will serve alongside Sarah Varghese '19, Myesha Jemison '18, Achille Tenkiang '17, and Azza Cohen '16, the current YATs. According to the University, the position was created in 1969 "to ensure that the Board would always include four members with recent experience as undergraduates." YATs "have the same rights, powers and duties as all other trustees." The YATs comprise a combined one-tenth of the Board, which includes University President Christopher L. Eisgruber '83, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, basketball coach and executive Craig Robinson '83, former N.J. Senate candidate Robert Hugin '76, Microsoft President Brad Smith '81, and sitting Reps. Terri Sewell '86 and Derek Kilmer '96. In an interview with The Daily Princetonian, Artis referred to the general election choice as a "win, win, win situation." "All three of us, when we found out, we were just excited," he added. "I remember distinctly saying, 'No matter what happens, I'll be happy with who gets it.' [Alexandre and Poland are] two people who I think are really powerful presences and forces around campus and people who I know will represent a wide range of voices really well." Poland emphasized the symbolic importance of having three black YAT finalists, given the position's historical connection to black student activism. The creation of the YAT role coincided with a period of heightened activism on college campuses, shortly after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. and during the height of the Vietnam War. In the same year that he helped lead the Association of Black Collegians' historic occupation of New South, University Trustee Brent Henry '69 became one of the University's first YATs. "There is no Young Alumni Trustee without the black student movement on Princeton's campus and campuses all across the country," Poland said. "It's almost like a full-circle moment." "It really does speak to the direction of the University," Alexandre added — a theme echoed by all three candidates. Alexandre is a politics concentrator from Rosedale, N.Y. She is a member of two dance groups, Triple8 and BodyHype, and is pursuing certificates in East Asian studies and history and the practice of diplomacy. She focuses on international relations and is interested in the history, culture, and governance of Korea. She previously spent a semester abroad in Seoul. In addition, she serves as Vice President of Princeton's Asian American Students Association (AASA) and Publicity Director of Princeton for North Korean Human Rights (PNKR). Alexandre said she often gets asked about how she became interested in Korean public affairs. "I think it was mostly due to the high school I went to — I went to a predominantly white and Asian high school — so there weren't many people that looked like me from the get-go," she said. When she arrived on campus, Alexandre said she was "immediately drawn to AASA." She initially became involved out of curiosity, but said she has learned a lot from the organization. Specifically, she pointed to affirmative action as one area in which AASA introduced her to new and different points of view, especially because African American and Asian American students are often construed to hold widely divergent views on the policy. "Having those two perspectives on that kind of contentious issue — I find that very important," she said. In a previous statement to the 'Prince,' she described herself as "someone who has managed to enter into spaces where I don't look like everyone and completely immerse myself in the relationships." Alexandre emphasized her wide-ranging experiences. "You kind of want to represent the interests of the student body, which is hard to do if you're not involved in literally every club and major here," she said. "But I felt like my experiences, either in AASA or in my dance groups, or in PNKR — that experience of being in rooms and conversations about things I might not be well-versed in at first, but still being a part of those communities — would help me in this kind of role." Artis is a mechanical and aerospace engineering concentrator from Plainfield, N.J. On campus, he is a member of Fuzzy Dice Improv comedy, the Co-Host of All Nighter, a member of the club Powerlifting Team, a member of the Princeton Christian Fellowship, and a residential college advisor (RCA) in Rockefeller College. He also acts in the theater department and is a member of the Meal Plan Music Collective — a four-person music group that recently performed at the Terrace F. Club. On why he ran, Artis said he has had a very positive experience at the University through the friendships he has made and extracurricular activities he has participated in. He knows many students, however, for whom this is not the case. "This University, in a lot of areas, does not do all it can to cater to all the populations it's trying to bring in, in terms of changing the general demographics — to sort of help them acclimate," he said. "I've had a really enjoyable time here, [...] but I know many people who don't feel that way at all. It'd be really irresponsible and selfish of me to take this opportunity, graduate, and move on, and do nothing to help fix things for people who have had those experiences." A private high-school graduate, Artis said he came in with an advantage when it came to acclimating to the University, knowing how to navigate certain University-specific experiences. As a Rockefeller College RCA, he has sought to help other students acclimate, but he says he believes he could do more as a Trustee. "I definitely have a responsibility to do anything I can to help students who may have similar identities to me, or different identities to me, navigate these spaces that may be completely foreign to them," Artis said. "But I think I owe it to those students to not make all the work be their own." Artis believes the University could be doing more of that "acclimating work." As a Trustee, rather than "trying to teach people how to avoid roadblocks," Artis said he would want to "do the work to prevent those roadblocks from being there at all." Poland, an African American studies concentrator from Rockville, M.D., is involved with the University's Mock Trial Team, the Petey Greene In-Prison Tutoring Program, and Students for Prison Education and Reform (SPEAR). He is also a RCA in Rockefeller College. He participated in last spring's Title IX reform protests, as well as the Ban the Box campaign, which aims to remove the conviction-status question from the University's application. In October, he co-wrote a piece in the 'Prince' condemning "Double Sights," an installation that attempts to acknowledge the complex legacy of former University president and U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, Class of 1879. "Advocating for inclusivity and justice through activism at Princeton has given me a unique perspective on our university's history, a practical knowledge on where we stand now, and profound hope for where we can go," he wrote in a previous statement. Though not delving into specific policy issues, as YAT candidates are not permitted to campaign in any capacity, Poland did speak to pivoting from an activist role to that of a decision-maker. "I can't say I can continue to lobby," he said. "But I think I get to carry with me some of the values and principles that I've absorbed from my fellow students about what's important to them — what's important to workers, what's important to faculty, what's important to staff — and I get to take that into whatever conversations I have and set what the standard is for the school." Though the YAT position carries weight, Poland said it does not necessarily seem like the place for advocacy. "It's a deliberative body. The way that I've been talking about it is — it's not Congress, it's the Supreme Court," he said. "Things approach the Board of Trustees, and they deliberate as a body and make a decision [...] rather than being an active force necessarily in policy-making on the day-to-day level." Like his fellow candidates, Poland said he was grateful to the seniors who allowed him to advance into the final round of voting. "I'm just really proud for the possibility to represent my community on the board in this capacity," Poland added. "And, to both honor and respect the traditions that Princeton has set in place, but to create new ones that make Princeton live up to everything it could be." Members of the classes of 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 will be eligible to vote in the general election online from April 28 to May 20. 2020-03-09 02:20:50Z https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2020/03/princeton-young-alumni-trustee-chelsie-alexandre-jackson-artis-nathan-poland  | |
| Max von Sydow, star of The Seventh Seal and The Exorcist, dies aged 90 - The Guardian Posted: 09 Mar 2020 06:28 AM PDT Max von Sydow, star of The Seventh Seal and The Exorcist, dies aged 90 - The Guardian Max von Sydow, the Swedish actor who made his name in a series of landmark films with Ingmar Bergman before progressing to international stardom, has died. He was 90. Sydow's most iconic role was in Bergman's The Seventh Seal (1957), in which he plays chess with Death. He also brought immense presence and gravity to roles such as Jesus Christ in The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965), a doomed priest in William Friedkin's The Exorcist, and an intellectually snobbish artist in Woody Allen's Hannah and Her Sisters (1986). More recently, he appeared in Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2011), Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) and on Game of Thrones as the mystical Three-Eyed Raven. The news was broken on Monday by his wife, the producer Catherine Brelet, who told Paris Match: "It is with a broken heart and with infinite sadness that we have the extreme pain of announcing the departure of Max von Sydow on 8 March 2020." Tributes were paid to Von Sydow on Twitter, with Edgar Wright calling him a "god" who "changed the face of international cinema".
Born into a wealthy family in Lund on the Swedish coast, Von Sydow studied at the country's national drama school before meeting Bergman in 1955.  The pair initially worked together on theatrical productions, but rapidly made a series of cinematic landmarks that cemented both men's careers. The Seventh Seal was made in the same year as Wild Strawberries; Brink of Life, Rabies and The Magician followed in 1958. Other key collaborations included The Virgin Spring (1960) and Winter Light (1963). The Greatest Story Ever Told was von Sydow's first large-scale US production, but it was 1973's The Exorcist – riffing off a lifetime playing wracked men of God – that catapulted Von Sydow to international acclaim.  The actor's wackier side was showcased as Ming the Merciless in 1980's Flash Gordon; his second foray into Hollywood fantasy was 1982's Conan the Barbarian. He worked with David Lynch on 1984's Dune, and picked up considerable acclaim for a moving role in Woody Allen's Hannah and Her Sisters (1986). The 1987 Swedish domestic drama Pelle the Conqueror earned him his first Oscar nomination, for best actor. Von Sydow continued to work through his 70s and 80s, combining substantial roles in Europe – including as the father in The Diving Bell and the Butterfly – with chewy supporting work in Hollywood productions such as Minority Report (2002), and, in 2011, Shutter Island, Robin Hood and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. This last title won Von Sydow his second Oscar nomination, this time as supporting actor, for playing a mute man whose cloistered existence is disrupted by the friendship of a boy who has lost his father on 9/11. Speaking to Hadley Freeman around the time of the film's release, Von Sydow was wry about the new form of typecasting his ninth decade was bringing. "As you get older," he said, "you get offered old characters and very often old people die in the middle of the script. It's sad, but it's not very interesting." He proceeded to win a new generation of admirers for cameos in The Simpsons, in the first of the new Star Wars trilogy, 2015's The Force Awakens, and as the Three-Eyed Raven in season six of Game of Thrones. His final film role was in Thomas Vinterberg's 2018 dramatisation of the Kursk submarine disaster; he has yet to be seen in TV war drama Echoes of the Past. Von Sydow was married twice, to the actor Christina Inga Britta Olin from 1951-1979; they had two sons. In 1997, he married Brelet and in 2002 became a citizen of her native France. 2020-03-09 13:21:57Z https://news.google.com/__i/rss/rd/articles/CBMicWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnRoZWd1YXJkaWFuLmNvbS9maWxtLzIwMjAvbWFyLzA5L21heC12b24tc3lkb3ctc3Rhci1vZi10aGUtZXhvcmNpc3QtYW5kLXRoZS1zZXZlbnRoLXNlYWwtZGllcy1hZ2VkLTkw0gFxaHR0cHM6Ly9hbXAudGhlZ3VhcmRpYW4uY29tL2ZpbG0vMjAyMC9tYXIvMDkvbWF4LXZvbi1zeWRvdy1zdGFyLW9mLXRoZS1leG9yY2lzdC1hbmQtdGhlLXNldmVudGgtc2VhbC1kaWVzLWFnZWQtOTA?oc=5  | |
| Royal Fans Think Meghan Markle Pushed Prince Harry Out of the Way in PDA Video - Showbiz Cheat Sheet Posted: 09 Mar 2020 06:28 AM PDT Royal Fans Think Meghan Markle Pushed Prince Harry Out of the Way in PDA Video - Showbiz Cheat Sheet A moment captured on video between Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex shows a sweet PDA gesture, but some fans and critics believe it demonstrates Meghan being selfish and controlling. A dispute kicked off on Twitter over whether Meghan was touching Prince Harry gently on the back out of love or because she wanted him to step aside.  Meghan and Harry's PDA was on displayPrince Harry and Meghan attended the Endeavour Fund Awards on Mar. 5, where they met with award attendees and chatted them up at the event. A video that showed Meghan placing a hand on Harry's shoulder appeared to be a bit of subtle PDA, but some royal fans thought she was actually signaling him to move aside. Daily Mail reporter Rebecca English posted the video to her Twitter account, captioning it, "some familiar Harry and Meghan PDA'S tonight." Not everyone saw it quite that way, however, as they believed she was non-verbally telling him to step aside so she could speak with the guest. Critics took aim, but others defended MeghanA debate waged on, with fans and critics commenting on Twitter. One Twitter user noted: "That isn't PDA. That was Meghan interrupting their conversation, pulling him back so she could step in front of him to take over the conversation. I don't care, it's their marriage and I will never judge about that. But the video is clear, please don't mislead or sugar coat." Another fan agreed, tweeting: "I don't see that as a PDA. she's always touching him and guiding him, see how he gives way to her here… this happens constantly. I don't like that…it's not a PDA…it's quite controlling." Still others tweeted: "That's not PDA! That's the familiar push him out of the way which she has always done" and "Always pushing herself in front of Harry." There were some who defended the Sussexes, however, with one fan tweeting: "So many body language specialists here. All these comments seem like we're not all watching the same video. I just see a couple that clearly love and respect each other. Maybe the problem is that too many people aren't familiar with what that looks and feels like?" Another person tweeted: "She's clearly nudging past him to introduce herself to the next person. She isn't trying to take control, she's trying to not be rude. They need to greet everyone and only have so much time." Their body language was revealingBody language expert Judi James noted that Meghan's look at the event was "a much more showbiz looking version" of her, telling Express that Meghan's "dazzling smile completed the look." "Harry's eyes gleamed with delight and his wide, upturned smile that bared his upper teeth and rounded his blushing cheeks suggested happiness and pride as he led his wife by the arm," James added. "This appearance as a couple looked all about sending signals of unity and happiness." "This suggests the move away from the royal firm was a decision they both endorsed and that they both gained strength from," she noted. 2020-03-09 12:31:56Z https://news.google.com/__i/rss/rd/articles/CBMifWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmNoZWF0c2hlZXQuY29tL2VudGVydGFpbm1lbnQvcm95YWwtZmFucy10aGluay1tZWdoYW4tbWFya2xlLXB1c2hlZC1wcmluY2UtaGFycnktb3V0LW9mLXRoZS13YXktaW4tcGRhLXZpZGVvLmh0bWwv0gEA?oc=5  | |
| “78歳”石橋蓮司、主演映画は「生前葬」 18年ぶり大役も自虐ジョーク（オリコン） - Yahoo!ニュース Posted: 09 Mar 2020 05:23 AM PDT "78歳"石橋蓮司、主演映画は「生前葬」 18年ぶり大役も自虐ジョーク（オリコン） - Yahoo!ニュース
 俳優の石橋蓮司（78）、佐藤浩市（59）、桃井かおり（68）らが9日、都内で行われた映画『一度も撃ってません』（4月24日公開）の完成報告会に出席した。 【動画】妻夫木聡・佐藤浩市・井上真央・江口洋介ら豪華俳優陣が集結！ 今作で石橋は"18年ぶり"に映画主演を飾る。そうそうたる顔ぶれが脇を固め、石橋との共演秘話に花を咲かせるなか、佐藤は「最初に『石橋蓮司、最後の主演作』というお題目で阪本監督から誘われた」と暴露。阪本順治監督が「そんな風には言ってないですよ。"かもしれない"と…」と釈明すると、「僕の勘違いだったかな？ すいません！」と笑い飛ばした。 そんな裏話を知った石橋は「こういう作品は、昔のB級作品のようにひっそりと上映して、ひっそりと評価されるべき映画。ただキャスティングを見たときに、これはちょっと困るんじゃないかと。とてつもない人が出ることになって、どうやってこの人たちを説得したのだろうと思っていたけど、『石橋蓮司さんの遺作になるかもしれない』と、監督と制作部が集めたのか」と納得した表情に。 続けて「撮影中は"生前葬"のような雰囲気でやらせていただきました。皆さん長い間、お世話になりました」と自虐的なジョークで笑いを誘うと「ちっとも主演として大事にされない。一番、朝が早いし、終わるのも一番遅い。お酒も飲めないし、ちっともいいことなかった。二度とやりたくない」と終始"蓮司節"をさく裂させていた。 会見にはそのほか、大楠道代、岸部一徳、江口洋介、妻夫木聡、新崎人生、井上真央、渋川清彦、前田亜季、小野武彦ら豪華共演陣がズラリ。桃井は「本当に隅々まですごい俳優が集まれたのは、蓮司がどれだけみんなに尽くしてきたかと言うことだと思いますし、阪本監督じゃなければ、これは実現しなかった。日本の映画の良心があるなと思います」と目を輝かせていた。 同作は、理想のハードボイルド小説を極めるために殺しの依頼を受け、その暗殺の状況を取材している"ハードボイルド気取りな小説家"の市川進が、妻や友人を巻き込んだ人生最大の騒動を巻き起こす大人のハードボイルドコメディー。
