Royal Caribbean International
Royal Caribbean International Embarkation Changes and Sailing Date Change Policy
Updated August 5, 2020 - Royal Caribbean has made the decision to voluntarily suspend cruise operations through October 31, 2020 (excluding Australia sailings). Additionally, the remainder of the 2020 Europe season and the fall Transatlantic sailings have also been cancelled, along with an additional pause in our China itineraries through September 13, 2020
Whether you're already booked on a cruise, or are thinking about it, Royal Caribbean wants you to Cruise with Confidence. That's why Royal Caribbean will let you cancel any cruise that sets sail from now through April 30, 2022. Whether it's a booking you already have or one you make right now through August 1, 2020, you're covered. As long as you cancel at least 48 hours before your sail date, you'll receive a Future Cruise Credit. The credit is valid through December 31, 2021 or 12 months from your original canceled sail date (whichever is longer) and can be used for any open sailings at the time of booking.
As of May 6, 2020 they have also added the new "Best Price Guarantee" and "Lift and Shift" options outlined below. If you opted into our Cruise with Confidence program before May 6, please learn more about that program here.
NEW! Best Price Guarantee - Spot a better price on your booked cruise? Our Best Price Guarantee lets you take advantage of a better price up to 48 hours before your sail date — just give us a call. You'll receive the difference as a non-refundable onboard credit inside final payment or rate adjustment outside final payment.
NEW! Lift and Shift - Lift and Shift is for those guests simply wishing to move their existing booking to next year. For CWC guests that are ready to move to an alternative sail date in the following year, they're happy to price protect the original pricing and/or promotion if the alternative sailing is the same itinerary, length, and stateroom category. However, the alternative sail date that the guest will be moved to, needs to be dated within 4 weeks (before or after) of the original sail date, but for the following year. For example, if you are moving from a July 30, 2020 sailing, you must move to a sailing that is the same itinerary, length, and stateroom category, and the sail date should be June 30, 2021 – August 30, 2021. To be eligible, guests must move their booking on or before August 1, 2020.
What you need to know
As long as you cancel at least 48 hours before your sail date, you'll receive a Future Cruise Credit.
The Cruise with Confidence program covers sailings booked on or before August 1, 2020, that set sail on or before April 30, 2022.
Future Cruise Credits are valid through December 31, 2021 or 12 months from your original canceled sail date (whichever is longer) and can be used for any open sailings at the time of booking.
You may owe any difference in cruise fare if your new booking exceeds the Future Cruise Credit's value.

TCU RB Sewo Olonilua headed to Cowboys
Texas Christian running back Sewo Olonilua (Kingwood) signed with the Cowboys after the draft.
He received $55,000 guaranteed, including a $5,000 signing bonus and $50,000 of his base salary guaranteed.
At 6-3, 232 pounds, Olonilua is one of the biggest and most versatile running backs to enter the league in years.
Olonilua has run the 40-yard dash in the mid-4.5 range on NFL scouts' hand times. He had an official time at the combine of 4.66 and a 36-inch vertical leap.
Last season, he rushed for 537 yards and eight touchdowns and caught 24 passes for 114 yards and one touchdown. He had 11 career special-teams tackles.
"It's a good situation," Olonilua said. "They say I'll be playing fullback and running back, move me all around. I bring versatility, I definitely bring that power. Just a big body that can do a lot of things."

Girlfriends Films Releases Follow-Up
to Popular 'Lesbian Ghost Stories'
'Lesbian Ghost Stories 2' Features Ghostly Tales of
Lesbian Encounters with Brooklyn Chase, Penny Pax, & More!
March 18, 2014 — Valencia, Calif. — The follow-up to Girlfriends Films' popular movie "Lesbian Ghost Stories" is now available on DVD. Featuring ghostly tales of lesbian encounters, "Lesbian Ghost Stories 2" stars Brooklyn Chase, Penny Pax, Cameron Dee, Belle Noire, Chloe Foster, Kimber Day, Hanna Lay, and Chloe Amour.
To view the box art and photo stills for "Lesbian Ghost Stories 2," click here.
The first volume of "Lesbian Ghost Stories" was an instant hit with adult industry reviewers and consumers. "While I was watching this film, I kept on thinking and hoping that Girlfriends Films will continue to make more 'Lesbian Ghost Stories' episodes," wrote XCritic.com reviewer Apache Warrior. "This series has a promising future."
AdultDVDTalk.com critic Astroknight agreed, adding, "'Lesbian Ghost Stories' is a nice little release. You get two stories, and they both work with the ghost story theme nicely…this is a solid production from start to finish. There [are] some nice twists and a few little 'things that go bump in the night' to add great mood to the movie, and the girls also do a nice job acting. The sex works well, and each scene has nice chemistry and moves at a good pace."
There are even more sexy thrills and chills in "Lesbian Ghost Stories 2." Spooky sounds and overactive imaginations produce just enough fear in the girls to get their hearts beating fast and endorphins pumping. The result is four sensual sex scenes, including Cameron Dee with Hanna Lay, Belle Noire with Penny Pax, Brooklyn Chase with Chloe Foster, and Kimber Day with Chloe Amour.
"We have high expectations for this fun series," says Girlfriends Films President Moose. "Based on the great reviews and high sales numbers, Volume One really struck a chord with reviewers and fans, and I think it's reasonable to believe 'Lesbian Ghost Stories' could end up being one of our most successful series ever, when all is said and done… Of course we'll need to release a few more installments in the series before we can make that call."
Filmed in high definition with 3 Sony XDCAM cameras, "Lesbian Ghost Stories 2" is a visual treat. The DVD includes a photo gallery, plus trailers to hit Girlfriends Films movies. It is presented in 16:9 widescreen format.
Media and distributors interested in obtaining access to Girlfriends Films' press site in order to download the trailer and stills may request login access by clicking here.

Trailer Alert – A Quiet Place
A Quiet Place – April 2018
I'm not one of those people who screams to my cats "there's no originality in Hollywood!" I'm not that guy mainly because I enjoy most movies. But i'm also not that guy because of movies like A Quiet Place. If you keep your eyes, ears and heart open enough, you're bound to stumble across movies like this. It's like one giant, high-stakes version of the quiet game. Which is really cool. Hopefully the trailers will keep the monsters hidden until I get into the theater. John Krasinski and Emily Blunt are married irl so it will be interesting to see there onscreen chemistry via sign language.
Jimmy Fallon Continues To Take Over The World In The Trailer For The New Show 'Lip Sync Battle'
If you've never seen celebrities and Jimmy Fallon do lip sync battle on 'The Tonight Show', now you have a chance to literally watch a show all about it. Jimmy Fallon is taking over the world one TV appearance at a time, and now his skills will be on display at Spike TV. The trailer for 'Lip Sync Battle' is pretty wonderful, and above everything else, features John Krasinski in a Tina Turner shimmering outfit that makes my heart explode with joy. You also have fan favorites like The Rock, Chrissy Teigen and Anna Kendrick showing off their skills and LL Cool J as the host. Ladies love Cool James, and I'm going to love this show. It premieres April 2nd so set yo DVR's.

Awareness and use of and barriers to family planning services among female university students in Lesotho
OUTPUT TYPE: Journal Article
TITLE AUTHOR(S): O.L.Akintade, S.Pengpid, K.Peltzer

AbstractUnwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among young women can be prevented through dual protection (i.e. condom use plus another method). Unmet needs for contraception and rates of unintended pregnancy among young women are high in the developing world. The aim was to assess the level of awareness of contraceptives and utilisation of family planning services among young women, and barriers that hinder effective use of such services. In a quantitative descriptive survey, 360 female undergraduate students at the National University of Lesotho responded to a hand-delivered self-administered questionnaire. Results. Awareness of family planning was high (97.5%). The condom was the most commonly known and used family planning method. The level of sexual experience and the prevalence of contraceptive use were high. Access to services was good. There were some misconceptions, e.g. that contraceptives other than the condom, such as natural family planning (4.7%), the vaginal ring (3.3%) and male or female sterilisation (2.8%), can prevent STIs. Married status was associated with current use of contraceptives, and having been formally taught about family planning was associated with the belief that it causes cancer. The unmet contraceptive need in the sample was 24.9%. Levels of awareness and utilisation of family planning services are high among female students at the University of Lesotho. There is a need to introduce family planning teaching based on accurate facts into the school curriculum.

Temasek, one of Singapore's sovereign wealth vehicles, today announced unaudited figures for its last financial year, showing a 2.3% decline in total shareholder return.
In the circumstances, that's really not bad.
The Temasek financial year ends on March 31 – which, you'll recall, was right in the teeth of the market declines as Covid escalated from being an Asian to a truly global concern. The World Health Organization declared Covid-19 a pandemic on March 11; the market bottom, for now at least, came 12 days later, and the Temasek year-end eight days after that.
The MSCI World Index was down 5.8% in the year to March 31, the MSCI AC Asia ex-Japan 9% and the MSCI Singapore Index 18.3%.
Temasek's success in ducking most of this loss, and maintaining a compound total shareholder return of 7.5% annualized over the last 16 years (or 14% a year since foundation in 1974), shows the nimbleness of a unique sovereign institution.
We've remarked before that Temasek does not look like most other sovereign wealth funds. The vehicle in Singapore with the classic sovereign wealth appearance – balanced portfolio across multiple asset classes, mandate to invest and diversify the national reserves, target to beat inflation – is GIC. Temasek invests mainly in equities, with a mandate to earn a spread over its cost of capital in the long term.
Temasek's success in ducking most of this loss… shows the nimbleness of a unique sovereign institution
There are years when that results in some relatively wild gyrations, like when China has a bad year, but it also brings a certain agility.
Today's announcement is not the full report on portfolio performance – that will come in September, two months later than usual because several portfolio companies have delayed reporting their own performance – but we do have some clues as to how Temasek has measured its portfolio, worth S$306 billion ($220 billion) on March 31.
For a start, we know that at that point Temasek had a net cash position and a strong balance sheet. It is an active manager, routinely buying and selling tens of billions of dollars of holdings in any given financial year, and it is likely it was quick to pull the plug on some of its holdings as the decline kicked in and to move that money into cash.
We also know that Temasek has made biotech investment a long-standing priority that may well have insulated it through the market ructions around Covid-19.
In the previous reported period – the year to March 2019 – life sciences and agribusinesses made up 7% of the portfolio, including positions in Singapore biotech firm Tychan (which is developing treatments for Covid-19), British biotech Orchard Therapeutics, and Irish pharmaceutical delivery company Aerogen.
In June, it invested $250 million in the German Nasdaq-listed company BioNTech through a private placement. Temasek was also an early investor in Gilead, although it divested at least some of those holdings last year.
A press conference will have to wait for the report in September, but chief executive Dilhan Pillay did provide pre-recorded remarks. He said of net cash: "This positions us well to ride through the tough times, to position our companies for future growth, and in other opportunities that may present themselves."
The shareholder return number will probably have been bolstered by Temasek's unlisted investments, which are recorded at book value. Even so, there is a track record now of outperforming during crisis: it did so during the Sars crisis too.
Dilhan Pillay, Temasek
"At Temasek, we invest for the long term," Pillay said. "We accept that being an investor in equities means higher year-to-year volatility and the risk of negative returns. This is balanced by an expectation of higher returns over the long term.
"We don't manage our portfolio to short-term changes in market value, because we're not trading our assets over short horizons.
"Instead, we focus on key structural trends like sustainable living and longer lifespans, and work to deliver sustainable returns over the long term."
Pillay also said the market rally since March "should be viewed with caution" and that Temasek would continue to look for investments linked to long-term structural trends.
One could argue Covid-19 is just such a trend: the way the world changes through and beyond the pandemic will be a key investment theme, and life sciences will be only one example of that.
In this respect, it's interesting to look at other small positions within the Temasek portfolio. Tychan is the one most obviously linked to the virus, since it's trying to find antibody treatments, but consider Zipline, the US-based drone delivery company that is delivering medical supplies to rural Ghana, or BenevolentAI, a British artificial intelligence company that is also turning its tech towards understanding and responding to the virus.
Yet for all its smart and intuitive investments, Temasek still has its historic role as a steward of the nation's blue chips. It has been at the heart of two key recapitalizations locally during the crisis – Singapore Airlines and Sembcorp Marine – interesting deals that show Temasek's unique position. Unarguably, those were investments in service of the nation, bringing not only their own capital but providing the confidence necessary for other investors to join them.
But they are also deft contrarian plays. If Singapore Airlines comes out of this crisis with a better balance sheet than peers, it's in a good position to go shopping, to strengthen – and to be a good investment.
It is Temasek's skill, and its challenge, to balance these roles and still deliver.

Betrayal is hard pill to swallow.. It's when someone lets their true colors show..
Didn't think that you had to aim for the low blows.. But let me tell you something I do know..
Karma.. Karma is going to bite you where you least expect it.. You can't hide from it.. nor can
you ignore it. Guess who is not going to be there when you fall this time?.. not me not in this
time. It's your life not mine.. Dont get mine intertwinded with your mind.. If you truely cared
about me you wouldn't have done what you did to me... I was there through everything.. Did
that not count for something or was I just nothing?.. It's okay though because as soon as
Karma has you in it's grasp you'll be crawling back to me and think that is that.. But you know
what? never again.. I've given you too many chances to get better.. but as far as I'm
concerned you are just like her.. you are no better.

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho says he's happy with the attitude of Christian Eriksen as his contract runs down.
Eriksen's current Spurs contract expires next June.
While he is widely believed to have requested to leave the club last summer, Tottenham did not receive a suitable offer to sell their playmaker.
Tottenham look likely to try to cash in on Eriksen next month, but Mourinho was staying tight-lipped o Eriksen's wishes.
"I only know his contract ends at the end of the season and the conversations I have had with Christian are private conversations that I am not going to share," said Mourinho.
"We have a very good relationship that started on day one. I am not going to betray that trust and relationship."

HOPEFUL homebuyers will see the built of a 'zero-carbon estate' in southern Oxfordshire.
One of the country's largest housing associations Sovereign revealed that nine affordable carbon-zero homes will be available for clients in Abingdon.
The properties are set in a rural location at Springfield Meadows in the village of Longworth.
They are part of 25 being built using modern carbon zero construction methods.
The modular homes were constructed in a factory using closed panel walls and a hemp and lime mix insulation.
This is an affordable eco design for the carbon zero home, while Sovereign Housing claim will last a 'lifetime'.
After they left the factory they were moved on-site Springfield Meadows for construction that began in May last year, and some residents have even already started moving into their brand-new homes.
Of the 25 homes at the development, the nine affordable Sovereign homes consist of six affordable rent and three shared ownership properties.
Development Manager at Sovereign Alex Brooks revealed that the Springfield Meadows development was granted the One Planet Living Global Leader Status by environmental charity Bioregional.

This is the developer's second eco-development using this type of construction and the second to achieve the prestigious One Planet Living status.
Mr Brooks added: "Our first was Kings Lane in Longcot.
"Following on from the success of Kings Lane, we started this development in Longworth.
"We are so proud of our work here at Springfield Meadows.
"Building in a rural location means that we need good quality design and manufacture to design for the future.
"We have been able to build quality affordable homes here with high environmental performance and lower running costs for our residents."
Sovereign has teamed up with architects Greencore Construction, which consulted on the development.
Director of the company Ian Pritchett said: "A normal home will emit around five tonnes of carbon a year.
"If we start building things with bio-based materials that perform better we can start to make a serious difference to climate change."

During the Silver Age, under writer Robert Kanigher, Wonder Woman's origin was revamped,[33] along with other characters'. The new origin story increased the character's Hellenic and mythological roots: receiving the blessing of each deity in her crib, Diana is destined to become as "beautiful as Aphrodite, wise as Athena, strong as Hercules, and swift as Hermes."[34]
After Diana's clash with Silver Swan, she goes to Greece, where Julia is staying. Here she meets Julia's friend, renowned Epigraphist Stavros Christadoulodou. Here, a conspiracy is shown to be in play with a mysterious woman behind it, dwelling in an undisclosed location, speaking to her servant Mikos about Diana's presence and how it could be a threat. A rebel group is revealed to be in existence, secretly fighting the witch's forces, headed by a man named Gregory, who had lost his son's to the witch's monsters. The witch uses her servants disguised as animals to kill her enemies in the rebel group. The rebel faction also has Katina and Spiros as it's members, actively tracking other followers of the witch and trying to keep Diana safe from harm. She goes on boat to an island called Cephalonia when she is distracted by another small island in the vicinity. She senses a strange presence in the island and is somehow attacked by it's mysterious resident psychically, as a warning, causing her to faint on the spot. In the hospital, Diana is surrounded by her friends and some wonder if it's the Magia, a curse that some believe is pure superstition. The Magia is said to come from the mysterious island, where a witch is said to exist. Diana is introduced to Theophilius Ventouras, one of the wealthiest people in the area by Julia, who is actually another pawn of the witch, and he deceives Diana and her friends into thinking the woman is actually a rich loner and there is no truth in the myths about the Magia and the Witch. Stavros meets with Gregory and is given a scroll that the faction had obtained from the island, which may contain secrets about the witch.
Wonder Woman has also appeared in the 2013 NetherRealm Studios fighting game, INJUSTICE: Gods Among Us, as a playable character with her own set of super moves and alternate constumes, one of which was a New 52 skin. In the game, Wonder Woman is summoned alongside Aquaman, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Batman, and the Joker into a world where Superman rules with an iron fist and said world's Wonder Woman is his second-in-command. Wonder Woman must unite with the others and this world's Batman to defeat Regime Superman for good. She is voiced by Susan Eisenberg.
Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.
After a training session, Diana happened to come across Captain Steve Trevor during his escape from the Imperial German Army. A battle soon followed, as the Germans tracked Trevor to Themyscira, where they invaded in pursuit of Doctor Poison's notes. The loss of her aunt and realization of Mankind's downfall during the absence of the amazons convinced Diana to join the war effort, recognizing Ares as the instigator of the conflict.
Superhuman Senses: Wonder Woman, due to her demigoddess physiology, has all of her senses superhumanly enhanced, much like those of Superman. This allowed her to clearly see Steve Trevor from miles away when his plane crash-landed near Themyscira. While talking to Bruce Wayne outside his lake house, Wonder Woman was able to spot Cyborg behind a tree spying on them.
Wonder Woman's appearance in the early golden age of comics made her the first prominent female superheroine. The psychologist William Moulton Marston created Wonder Woman somewhat as a counter reaction to the presence of prominent male superheroes (at this time Superman, Batman and Captain America), as well as a counterbalance to the "blood curdling masculinity" that was dominant at the time, with the hopes that the character could serve as an inspiration for young children (though in certain ways it was geared more towards female readers.) Marston had been partially motivated to create this character because of the accomplishments of his own wife, who was also an accomplished academic at a time when it was difficult for women to fulfill this role. As a result, the first Wonder Woman series contained many complementary articles and features which sought to highlight the inner power of women. There were articles for instance on the different career paths that women could pursue (according to the standards of the 1940s) as well as a series of stories on famous and accomplished women, called the Wonder Women of History. Marston introduced the character in All-Star Comics #8 in 1941. She became the lead character in Sensation Comics in 1941, and got her first solo book in 1942.
A pantheon of terrible Dark Gods has come to Earth, bringing with them death and destruction. People everywhere are renouncing their own faith in favor of the Dark Gods', causing riots and worse. The Justice League was supposed to be their cavalry, but with their defeat, Diana and Jason are on their own. The Star Sapphires summon Wonder Woman to help them conquer their own threat, and Jason is left truly alone. Diana is left with no choice but to help the Star Sapphires, while praying Jason can hold out against the dark deities until her return…
Candy helped Diana try on a great many outfits until she finally settled on one. Dissatisfied, thinking that she still looked too "distracting," Trevor gave her a pair of spectacles to wear. After they'd paid and left the store, Diana reluctantly allowed Candy to take her sword and shield back to Trevor's office while the two took Doctor Poison's notebook to the British War Council.
Despite helping win the war, defeating Ares and still loving humanity, Diana is still left sobered, emotionally broken, psychologically scarred, and devastated over not having been able to save the Belgian village from Dr. Poison, as well as over her beloved Steve Trevor's self-sacrificing death. Indeed, Diana would later claim that she "would never be the same" ever again after World War I. Moreover, in the years that followed, Diana bore witness to a "century of horrors" (Wars, Fascism, Communism, nuclear weapons' deployment, geopolitical brinkmanship, racism, homophobia, genocides, war crimes, propaganda, and etc.), and due to all of this occurring without Ares being there to spread corruption, Diana almost completely lost faith in humanity, coming to believe that humans "made a world where standing together is impossible".[4] As such, Diana resolved to mostly abandon superheroism for 100 years.[5]
In 2011's The New 52, DC Comics relaunched its entire line of publications to attract a new generation of readers, and thus released volume 4 of the Wonder Woman comic book title. Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang were assigned writing and art duties respectively and revamped the character's history considerably. In this new continuity, Wonder Woman wears a costume similar to her original Marston costume, utilizes a sword and shield, and has a completely new origin. No longer a clay figure brought to life by the magic of the gods, she is, instead, a demi-goddess and the natural-born daughter of Hippolyta and Zeus. Azzarello and Chiang's revamp of the character was critically acclaimed, but highly divisive among longtime fans of the character.[47][48][49][50]
Superman begged his fellow heroes to arrest him, and while he was taken to the A.R.G.U.S. facilities, Diana expressed disapproval at Steve's secret Justice League. Wonder Woman travelled to the Temple of Hephaestus and demanded Hephaestus tell her about what the box really was. Hephaestus answered that the box was not created by the Gods of Olympus and the truth was a mystery even to them. Wonder Woman decided to seek help from the Justice League Dark.[66] Suddenly, the three Justice Leagues converged at the House of Mystery, where the heroes were divided, one side led by Wonder Woman, the other by Batman. Zatanna, having taken Wonder Woman's side, teleported the group away.[67] Wonder Woman's group tracked Pandora's box to Lex Luthor's prison cell, where Pandora was offering the box to Luthor. Wonder Woman grabbed the box but was overwhelmed by its power.[68]
The success of the superhero television series Supergirl informed the marketing and promotion strategy used for Wonder Woman.[155] According to Time Warner chief marketing officer Kristen O'Hara, they wanted to approach the Wonder Woman marketing campaign in a light manner, similar to how they did with Supergirl. O'Hara elaborated that the modest campaign route they took for Supergirl aided in establishing a large central fanbase among women well in advance of the series, which reportedly generated 5 million female superhero fans in one week.[155] They were then able to model over time, and grow that audience leading up to the 15-months-later release of Wonder Woman.[155] Though neither the film nor the series are aimed exclusively at women, the latter's campaign gave them their first opportunity to begin collecting data about female superhero fans.[155] In May 2017, a promo for Wonder Woman was released during the season finale of Supergirl, featuring a remix of the song "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" and Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) wearing Wonder Woman's boots.[156] The promo included an appearance by Lynda Carter, star of the 1970s Wonder Woman, who plays the American president on Supergirl.[156]
We expect to see solo movies for Cyborg, Batman, and the Flash , but while Cyborg is scheduled for April 2020, The Flash and The Batman may be delayed due to shake-ups within their creative teams. Warner Bros. plans to release Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) in February 2020, make a Green Lantern Corps movie for summer 2020 and has several other spinoffs in the works, including Batgirl and a Suicide Squad sequel directed by James Gunn.

In this new continuity, Wonder Woman's origin is significantly changed and she is no longer a clay figure brought to life by the magic of the gods. Instead, she is the natural-born daughter of Hippolyta and Zeus. The earlier origin story was revealed by Hippolyta to be a ruse thought up by the Amazons, to protect Diana from the wrath of Hera, who is known for hunting and killing several illegitimate offspring of Zeus.[62]
This new era of the comic book was influenced by the British television series The Avengers, with Wonder Woman in the role of Emma Peel.[10] With Diana Prince running a boutique, fighting crime, and acting in concert with private detective allies Tim Trench and Jonny Double, the character resembled the Golden Age Black Canary. Soon after the launch of the "new" Wonder Woman, the editors severed all connections to her old life, most notably by killing Steve Trevor.[11]
Still puzzled as to Diana's identity, Bruce discovers more about her amongst the data he stole from Lex Luthor. He sees a photograph of her alongside the Wonder Men, taken in Belgium in 1918 during the closing days of World War I. He then makes contact with her via her laptop, sharing extra information that Luthor had on both her and other metahumans, such as the Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg. Diana is visibly intrigued and shocked at this revelation, as Flash's lightning reminds her of that of Ares, Aquaman reminds her of depictions of Poseidon, while the Mother Box that created Cyborg reminds her of the one she briefly saw back on Themyscira. Diana resolves to take some time to think this revelation over, does not answer Bruce's e-mail, and instead proceeds with her plans to depart Metropolis on a flight back to France, through Turkey.[5]
The origin of Wonder Woman and the psychological reasoning behind why William Morton Marston created her in the way he did illustrated Marston's educational, ethical, and moral values.[226] "William Marston intended her to be a feminist character, showing young boys the illimitable possibilities of a woman who could be considered just as strong as the famed Superman." Gladys L. Knight explains the impact and influences that superheroes have on us in society ranging from the 1870s until the present day.
She later became a major character in the DC Animated Universe in Justice League and its sequel, Justice League Unlimited. Both shows were massively popular and helped bring Wonder Woman back to relevance for a younger generation. The DCAU is notable for introducing the idea of a romance between Batman and Wonder Woman, something that was unheard of in the original comic books. Throughout the DCAU, Wonder Woman was voiced by Susan Eisenberg.
Preparing to get Zola back from Hades, Wonder Woman and her male companions sought out Eros in Italy. She hoped that he could lead them to Hephaestus, who might have been able to arm them appropriately for battle with the ruler of Hell. He lead them to Mount Etna, where the blacksmith agreed to arm them. As retribution for his aid, though, Hades sent a monster to kill them all, which had to be dispatched by Diana.[20] Afterwards, Hephaestus armed Diana with new weapons, insisting that she take Eros' guns of love with her to Hell.

Beyond the US and Canada, the film was released day-and-date with its North American debut in 55 markets (72% of its total release), and was projected to debut with anywhere between $92–118 million.[174] It ended up opening to $125 million, including $38 million in China, $8.5 million in Korea, $8.4 million in Mexico, $8.3 million in Brazil and $7.5 million in the UK.[193] In its second week of release, the film brought in another $60 million, including holding the top spot on France, the UK, Australia and Brazil.[194] In the Philippines, it broke 2017 box office record for highest-earning non-holiday opening day—earning $4.7 million and becoming the 9th-most successful commercial film of all time as well overtaking the record set by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.[195][196][197] The film opened in its last market, Japan, on August 25 and debuted to $3.4 million, helping the international gross cross the $400 million mark.[198] The biggest markets of Wonder Woman outside North America are China (US$90 million) followed by Brazil (US$34 million), UK (US$28 million), Australia($23 million) and Mexico($22 million).[199]
The character's depiction in the New 52 has been mostly along the same lines as the remainder of her modern appearances, though as of yet much remains to be explained about her character. One development with the character in this new universe is that some of the developments which occurred during Flashpoint are occasionally referenced (such as her using London as her base of operations). In her New 52, written by Brian Azzarello, Wonder Woman's origin is that she is the daughter of Hippolyta and Zeus; no longer is she a golem of clay and earth, but an actual demigoddess.
After a training session, Diana happened to come across Captain Steve Trevor during his escape from the Imperial German Army. A battle soon followed, as the Germans tracked Trevor to Themyscira, where they invaded in pursuit of Doctor Poison's notes. The loss of her aunt and realization of Mankind's downfall during the absence of the amazons convinced Diana to join the war effort, recognizing Ares as the instigator of the conflict.
Superhuman Strength: Diana possesses far greater strength than the finest human athletes. She kept an A.R.G.U.S aircraft from crashing by holding it up. She dispatched numerous Parademons during Darkseid's invasion and broke the Fortress of Solitude's doors down when H'el locked Superman out and took control of it. She has also managed to briefly overpower both Green Lantern and Aquaman, as well as Supergirl. She managed to defeat the goddess Artemis, as well as draw blood from The First Born.[citation needed]
The Invisible Plane was a creation of Diana's during her younger years on Paradise Island. She created it to be an improvement on her mother's planes which would be shot down in Man's World. The result of her innovation was an invisible plane that could fly at terrific speeds silently and not be detected by hostile forces. Initially, it was portrayed as being transparent.[citation needed]
After taking Despero to the authorities, Wonder Woman and Superman came across the mysterious Pandora, someone Wonder Woman was familiar with. She believed Superman could use her box to trap the evil she unleashed in ancient times; but when Superman touched it, he was overwhelmed by its power. While Pandora took the box and left, the two heroes received news that a new superhuman, Shazam, was entering the borders of Kahndaq. Their confrontation with Shazam turned violent until the rest of the Justice League and the Justice League of America intervened to defuse the situation. Suddenly, Dr. Light lost control of his powers and began absorbing Superman's solar energy, unleashing an energy beam at Wonder Woman. In a fit of anger, Superman killed Dr. Light with his heat vision, an action that caused a fight between the two Leagues.[65]
After the 2011 relaunch, Diana gained new powers. These new abilities, which included superhuman speed, durability, immortality, accelerated healing, and even flight came in addition to her previous attributed Olympian strength. She is now considered to be stronger than Hercules. In addition to her weaponry, Diana's bracelets can now create an thunderous explosion when she clashes them together. These new abilities are attributed to being the daughter of Hippolyta and Zeus. Her powers are now considered nearly unmeasurable if she goes without her Bracelets of Submission, which keep her powers in check. She uses these powers in battle against the goddess Artemis and quickly renders her unconscious with ease with a series of carefully positioned counterattacks. While using her godly strength, her outfit and accoutrements lit up and her eyes glowed like her father's.[185][189][better source needed][190]

Interested in a Career Playing Video Games? UT Dallas Hosts Esports Summer Camps!Posted by Press August 8, 2019 in
On the campus of UT Dallas, you'll find a small room in the Student Union with a bright orange wall. Inside, it's a dark room illuminated by various vibrant colors. But, this is no nightclub. It's where the gamers come to party.
The Sector 7 Energy Gaming Arena is the home of the Comets — the UT Dallas eSports team, which is recognized by the school as a varsity athletic sport. "Across the board, you're seeing eSports growing," says Greg Adler, the UTD eSports team's head coach and director of training. "I was a music teacher before this." The team is comprised of dozens of college students who compete in video game tournaments around the country, and the Comets are among the nation's best.
This summer, the UT Dallas eSports team hosted a three-week camp to mentor and teach the next generation of gamers. Campers ranged in age from 10 to 21 years old. "As far as I'm aware, we're the only school in the entire state of Texas that offers this," acknowledges Adler. "A camp or a program like this could be the first step for someone to find their dream job in eSports."
That's not hyperbole. For many young kids, there's a future in eSports. The eSports industry has exploded over the last five years and is expected to be worth more than $1 billion dollars by year's end. By 2021, some researchers believe eSports will have more viewers than every major sports league except the NFL.
To the younger generations, eSports are well-known and, in some circles, wildly popular. The older generations are tougher to convince. "A lot of times, I tell people to come and watch," says Adler. "You don't need to be a certain height, or athleticism, or gender or ethnicity. You can be literally anybody and play any game at any point."

Mind the gap, as the saying goes. In this case, it's the gap between interest and intent, the chasm that lies between consumer awareness of unattended retail and actually taking the plunge in buying at the kiosk and vending machine.
In an interview with Karen Webster, Maeve McKenna Duska, EVP at USA Technologies, said that ambitious retailers have an opportunity to seize valuable market share within a relatively underdeveloped channel of commerce.
At a high level, according to PYMNTS data, unattended retail is reaching only one-tenth of its potential. As much as 20 percent of the consumers surveyed said they harbored an interest in buying a wide variety of offerings through unattended settings, yet only 6.9 percent of the population has bought anything through that channel in the last three months. Overall, according to the study, about 49 million consumers want to transact through unattended channels, but only 14 million have done so.
As McKenna Duska told Webster, "If I am a retailer, and I look at those statistics, for me, that translates into an opportunity gap."
Part of the problem is that retailers have been tentative in trialing kiosks and vending machines in field locations, so to speak, well beyond the self-checkout locations in-store.
The lack of ubiquity for unattended shopping experiences is proving a drag on potential, said McKenna Duska. Consumers have shown that they enjoy the experience (the speed and convenience of it all), and they want to buy what might be thought of as "non-traditional" items at the machines, too, ranging from books to clothes to electronics.
There are a few success stories to emulate. Consider the airport, she noted, where everything from earbuds to cosmetics are offered to satisfy last-minute impulse buys from travelers.
Hurdles For Larger Merchants
Generally speaking, though, "I think the disconnect is in the mind of the retailer and their business model," McKenna Duska said of the opportunity gap, adding that it may be more acute for larger retailers.
As she noted, the bigger the ship, the harder it is to change course. She pointed to the fact that big-box stores are essentially in "an experimental mode right now, but haven't really gotten their arms around the changes they need to make to really scale an unattended retail-type kiosk or experience for consumers."
For these traditional retailers, the natural extension into unattended retail has been to have self-checkout lanes and kiosks. There's always the safety net, however, of having inventory on hand to satisfy demand that materializes, as well as staff roaming the store to answer questions or address issues at those self-service locations.
The path has been a bit smoother for smaller, more entrepreneurial companies that don't have to shift business models, but can make the leap right into unattended retail.
Whether large or small, there's incentive for companies to add unattended retail as a dedicated channel — particularly since the data found that individuals with the highest incomes were most interested in trying unattended shopping experiences. McKenna Duska mused that these consumers are looking for a quick in-and-out experience, know exactly what they want or are pressed for time.
Across demographics, she said, "gone are the days of looking for a very high-touch retail buying experience." Consumers are doing research, getting ads and participating in comparison shopping across their hand-held devices. They have been reconditioned by constant interactions with technology — and are, thus, more comfortable transacting across hardware and software.
The Payments Part Of The Puzzle
That familiarity with tech also touches on the subject of transacting digitally — across mobile wallets, for example. With a nod to the study's findings that 78 percent of digital wallet users want to make non-traditional unattended retail purchases, McKenna Duska said that digital payments will gain ground with younger consumers, especially Gen Z and millennials.
For now, Google Pay and Apple Pay may have overestimated the consumer response to those digital payments' uptake, she noted, so more education is warranted. There may be some tailwind, though, as an increasing number of kiosks now only accept digital payments — so visits to the post office to get stamps may see rummaging through pockets for coins and bills as a thing of the past.
McKenna Duska noted, too, that the data showed consumers who use digital wallets in a self-service setting tend to spend more than if they used cash — and higher spend is something that every retailer wants.
The Roadmap
To capitalize on the potential, and fill the unattended retail gap, McKenna Duska recommended that merchants partner with technology providers that can help achieve scale, as well as manage the tasks of keeping machines stocked and serviced.
"It takes new resources. It takes a different kind of employee base, and it takes somebody who's going to oversee all of this to make sure that it's successful," she told Webster. Done effectively, kiosks and vending machines act as "giant billboards" for a merchant.
"It isn't just about the quantifiable sales. … It's also reminding customers that their brand is 'there,' and there is brand affinity. … The retailer needs to determine how [it] can build this path forward to unattended retail," she said, "so [it] can make this part of the business model of the future."
The September 2020 Leveraging The Digital Banking Shift Study, PYMNTS examines consumers' growing use of online and mobile tools to open and manage accounts as well as the factors that are paramount in building and maintaining trust in the current economic environment. The report is based on a survey of nearly 2,200 account-holding U.S. consumers.

text:
I wrote this piece almost two weeks back but didn't publish it right away because this seemed too trivial to rant about when the world is on fire. But I woke up this morning to this update that J.K. Rowling is still a giant turd. A vile, transphobic turd.
Who logs on to Twitter in the middle of an effing pandemic and widespread protests due to racial injustice and decides…"hmm, let's invalidate some Trans men today".
NOT COOL. You deserve no points.
I spoke all about my hatred for her here, furious after watching The Crimes of Grindelwald. And I've definitely loved taking potshots at Rowling every chance I get on the blog and Twitter.
But despite all this, a small corner of my heart still liked the series. Like many people online right this moment, I used to claim Death of the Author and say the series belonged to the fandom now.
Maybe it's the way she keeps coming back with worse takes each day, but recently, I've started scrutinising her writing in Harry Potter (and her other works — more on that later) and I do not like what I see.
- The naming of the one Chinese character Cho Chang.
- House elves are slaves who don't want to be freed
- Goblins are hook-nosed and greedy bankers (anti-Semitic much?)
Or how I recently realised exactly how fatphobic the entire series is.
Harry Potter and all the fatphobia.
Let's start with Dursleys. Vernon and Dudley are fat. They're greedy, lazy, gluttonous abusers. And don't get me wrong, fat people can be horrible too but these are literally stereotypes fat people are always given in books and movies. Fatness is always conflated with either badness or laziness and it's almost always met with derision.
And look at the language Rowling uses.
Right off the bat, Vernon Dursley is described as "a big, beefy man with hardly any neck" and Dudley, "a large pink beach ball wearing different-colored bonnets". The latter also grows up to be a manipulative, brutish bully, a fat stereotype if I ever saw one.
In The Philospher's Stone, Hagrid curses Dudley to turn into a pig but is not entirely successful. Dudley only grows a tail but doesn't turn into an actual pig. And Hagrid's response? "He was so much like a pig anyway there wasn't much left ter do".
Diet talk
If you didn't already know this, diet talk is actually harmful for fat people and those recovering from eating disorders. I don't want to hear how hard you're tying not to look like me, Susan.
Also, 1 in 4 people can develop an eating disorder after hearing diet talk. But Darling Joanne really decided she can normalise eating disorders in The Goblet of Fire with a lot of diet talk.
And it starts with Dudley being described as "roughly the size and weight of a young killer whale". He's put on a school-sanctioned diet and in one scene, everyone eats a quarter of a grapefruit for breakfast.
Clearly this book is not for fat people and those with a history of disordered eating.
Even how Harry immediately begs his friends to send food over is problematic because it just proves society's thinking that going on a diet is harmful for a thin person but is completely expected of fat people.
The problematic portrayal of fat people.
"Exactly why Dudley wanted a racing bike was a mystery to Harry, as Dudley was very fat and hated exercise."
Joanne Kathleen is really out there thinking fat people shouldn't bike. Like ma'am. MA'AM. Sit the fuck down.
Throughout the series, the way Dudley is described is problematic. Your book can definitely have a fat evil character, but if you keep describing their fatness each time you describe their meanness, you are the problem.
Here are actual phrases used to describe Dudley:
- "porky shoulder"
- "piggy eyes"
- "many chins"
- "fat wrist"
And it's not just Dudley.
Dolores Umbridge, evil incarnate, is described as "squat with a broad, flabby face" when she's first introduced.
Aunt Marge is also described as "large, beefy, and purple-faced". When she riles Harry up, his magic makes her swell like a balloon. Would a thin counterpart ever have received this reaction in the books?
Harry Potter and Even More Fat Stereotypes.
There are other stereotypes that are not as glaring as with the Dursleys, but they're harmful nonetheless. Neville, Hagrid, and Molly are good people and I love all three of them in the books, but you have to agree that there are subtle stereotypes with them too.
Neville Longbottom
While the books didn't describe Neville as fat — he was just described as "round-faced boy" in The Philosopher's Stone — Matthew Lewis had to wear a fat suit for the first few movies. Fat suits are really harmful a device to use in movies, but this is not about that.
This is about how in the earlier books (and movies), Neville is portrayed as inept, forgetful, and unlucky. Neville may not be as fat as the Dursley's but he's given enough fat stereotypes just the same.
He's often the cause for plans to blow up — his Remembrall is stolen by the bully Malfoy and the hero has to swoop in and save him, he's the guy who loses the password to the Gryffindor common room leading to a presumed mass murderer entering it, and more. He's also clumsy and most often the butt of all jokes.
And by the end of the series, Neville loses his pudge and grows to be confident in his abilities, which in itself is a harmful stereotype.
Ya know, because life is not something that happens after you reach a target weight or size.
Rubeus Hagrid
When I first pointed out the fat stereotypes in Harry Potter to my friends, their immediate counter-argument was "Hagrid is a giant and he's the kindest character in the series".
But here's the thing. Hagrid is also described as not being intelligent or particularly clever. He's gullible and his vocabulary is not as great. He may be kind, but kindness doesn't negate making a big character a literal giant and saying giants aren't particularly clever. But I'll still set aside Hagrid mainly for the reason that he's inherently good.
Molly Weasley
Another non-evil fat character in the book, Molly falls into the mothering stereotype fat characters often go through. She's middle-aged and doesn't need to be attractive, so why not make her fat? It's only in the last book that we see her being particularly talented in magic. Until then, much of her screen time is devoted to cooking for and feeding others.
Maybe I'm reaching, maybe I'm not. But I know for sure that if I were to re-read the series, I would not be able to get past the Dursleys' description to even get reintroduced to these characters.
And it's not just Harry Potter.
You ever think ya girl Joanne may have been fatphobic in the series only because Harry Potter is pretty old and times were different then?
HAHAHAHA, think again.
Jacob Kowalski has entered the chat.
Kowalski is my favourite character in the Fantastic Beasts movie. But I also have to agree that he's been given all the fat stereotypes.
His size is the butt of most of the jokes. He's clumsy and has a stereotypical job — baker. He's naive enough to believe that a bank can loan him money with no collateral except the taste of his croissants.
But you know what gets me every time?
When Newt urges Jacob to follow him into the suitcase — you know, the one enormous animals like the Thunderbird can get into it — he doesn't fit. A human fat man cannot fit into a suitcase hugeass animals can. Were we supposed to laugh at that?
Casual fatphobia in The Casual Vacancy
Oh honey, it wasn't just in the Potterverse. I don't remember much about The Casual Vacancy (I read it the day it released and never bothered re-reading) but I do remember this:
"Though Pagford's delicatessen would not open until nine thirty, Howard Mollison had arrived early. He was an extravagantly obese man of sixty-four. A great apron of a stomach fell so far down in front of his thighs that most people instantly thought of his penis when they first clapped eyes on him, wondering when he had last seen it, how he washed it, how he managed to perform any of the acts for which a penis is designed.
Partly because his physique set off these trains of thought, and partly because of his fine line in banter, Howard managed to discomfort and disarm in almost equal measure, so that customers almost always bought more than they meant to on a visit to the shop."
"A great apron of stomach"? What kind of a vile, hateful person would consistently demean fat people in the books they write?
Oh no, I wouldn't spare The Ickabog either.
Last one, I swear! At least that I know of. Who knows what other fatphobic BS I totally missed in
Karen's JKR's writings.
Even in her most recent work, The Ickabog, she doesn't spare fat people. And this one is a study in fatphobia because look how the thin person gets a description beyond their size while the fat person's main description IS their size.
"Lord Spittleworth was very thin, cunning, and clever. His friend Flapoon was ruddy-faced, and so enormous that it required six men to heave him onto his massive chestnut horse. Though not as clever as Spittleworth, Flapoon was still far sharper than the king."
So, in conclusion…
If I had read Harry Potter for the first time now in 2020, I definitely would not have liked it as much as I did back in 2004. A lot of these stereotypes definitely went over my head back then, but not anymore.
And it's not just the fatphobia — there are several other highly problematic issues with HP including anti-Semitism through goblins, the naming of Cho Chang, Nagini being Asian, including diversity as an afterthought, and more. It's a shame a series I grew up with went up in flames but I'd rather ruin my own childhood now than support a book that goes against a lot of things I stand for as an adult.
Shut it down.
An academic paper, Harry Potter and the Fat Stereotypes, helped me in articulating some parts of this post. Check it out for a much more nuanced perspective on common fat stereotypes and how they're used in Harry Potter. This paper has also looked at characters beyond the ones I've mentioned in this post.
