Mexican drug kingpin Joaquín Guzmán Loera, aka "El Chapo," gave his first ever interview to American actor Sean Penn for Rolling Stone magazine in October, three months after he escaped from a maximum-security Mexican prison.
That interview led Mexican forces to discover Guzmán's whereabouts, a Mexican official told The Associated Press.
"The official, who spoke Saturday on condition of anonymity, said it was the Penn interview that led authorities to Guzman in a rural part of Durango state in October," the AP reported. "They aborted their raid at the time because he was with two women and child." But the interview was a lead that allowed them to track the drug lord over the course of several months.
Penn apparently met with Guzmán, who was recaptured by Mexican marines on Friday, in a compound in the middle of the Mexican jungle.
"As an American citizen, I'm drawn to explore what may be inconsistent with the portrayals our government and media brand upon their declared enemies," Penn wrote in the piece, released by the magazine on Saturday.
Penn says he spoke with the drug lord for seven hours about everything from the cartel leader's own use of drugs to the phenomenon of real-estate magnate and Republican front-runner Donald Trump.
Writing in Rolling Stone about the encounter, Penn comments on Guzmán's "indisputable charisma" — and his wardrobe.
Guzmán was apparently wearing "casual patterned silk shirt and pressed black jeans," and appeared "remarkably well-groomed and healthy for a man on the run."
"Throughout my introduction, Chapo smiles a warm smile," Penn wrote.
"In fact, in what would be a seven-hour sit-down, I saw him without that smile only in brief flashes. As has been said of many notorious men, he has an indisputable charisma. When I ask about his dynamic with the Mexican government, he pauses. 'Talking about politicians, I keep my opinion to myself. They go do their thing and I do mine.'"
—The New York Times (@nytimes) January 10, 2016
The drug baron was detained on Friday after an early-morning raid in his native state of Sinaloa, where he was reportedly making a biopic about his life.
"An important aspect that allowed us to locate him was that we discovered Guzman's intention to make a biographical film, for which he established contact with actresses and producers," Mexico's attorney general, Arely Gomez, told the AFP.
Significantly, the meeting between Penn and Guzmán was brokered by Kate del Castillo — one of the most famous actors in Mexico. The three shared tequila while Penn mused about "how funny it would be if there were a weaponized drone above us."
Penn wrote in the article that it occurred to him while he was in Mexico that he might be under the surveillance of Mexican authorities or the US Drug Enforcement Agency. According to the AFP, however, Mexican investigators knew about Penn's meeting with the drug kingpin.
In a video interview, Guzman responded to the questions Penn could not get to during their seven-hour meeting in the jungle, including one about how the drug lord would "define himself."
"Well ... with respect, and from my point of view, it's a person who's not looking for problems in any way," Guzman said. "In any way. "
As The New York Times noted shortly after the article was released, it is still unclear if any of Penn's reporting led to Guzmán's capture three months later. In any case, Penn ends the piece with a premonition: "El Chapo? It won't be long, I'm sure, before the Sinaloa cartel's next shipment into the United States is the man himself."

MONTREAL — A U.S. company says it is suing Bombardier, alleging that the Montreal aerospace firm failed to pay for expenses related to the design of wings for the Global 7000 business jet.
The Triumph Group disclosed in a regulatory filing Thursday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that a subsidiary launched a lawsuit on Dec. 22 in Quebec Superior Court seeking compensation for changes it claims Bombardier (TSX:BBD.B) ordered for the aircraft's original wing design.
According to the filing, the lawsuit from Triumph Aerostructures is seeking approximately US$340 million.
A spokesman for Bombardier says it believes the allegations from Triumph Aerostructures are without merit and it will defend its position.
Although Bombardier hasn't yet filed a statement of defence, he says the company believes that changes were made collectively by both sides and were within the scope of its contract with Triumph.
Triumph says it still supports the Global 700 program.
The Global 7000 had its maiden flight last November and is scheduled to enter into service next year.

By Pentagon Correspondent Chris Lawrence
Terrorist groups are trying to set up for a long-term presence in Libya, a senior defense official said Wednesday, but American intelligence is not showing a mass movement into the country.
The official, who gave a briefing to reporters at the Pentagon on the condition that the official not be identified, said the fall of Moammar Gadhafi has unleashed some groups that were constrained during the Libyan leader's regime.
The official said terrorist groups "are playing it safe in the short term, but are trying to set up a footprint and network internally for the long haul." The official said terrorist groups now have more freedom to operate within Libya, and "we're concerned about it."
Because some of the terrorist groups were clearly anti-Ghadafi, the Gadhafi regime put its military and intelligence resources into clamping down on the groups, the official said. Now the regime has collapsed, and the NTC is more concerned with dealing with the remnants of that regime than keeping an eye on militant groups.
The official suggested that the United States is seeing some movement into Libya by outside militants, but "in the dozens," not on a large scale.
One reason for the militants' current low profile is the NATO presence.
"It is in their interest to keep a low profile. Any perception of them being active will only draw the kind of attention they don't want while they try to establish these networks" in Libya, the official said.
There is little current danger of the National Transitional Council being co-opted by militants, the official said, noting TNC leaders have gone to great lengths to dissociate themselves from extremists.
But when asked whether there are men inside the NTC that are affiliated with terrorist groups, the senior defense official admitted, "Yeah, probably."
I got so bored today afternoon, but as soon as I watched this YouTube comic clip at this webpage I turn into fresh and glad too.
I recommend reading some books on Amazon.com or the public library on Intl Affairs, Economics and Diplomacy but I warn you it will make you hopefully a better educated voter but also mad and sick to your stomach. For the uneducated commenters – CNN, and other major news sites are not what they should be neutral and fair, they have become very biased and CNN and BBC and Aljazeera are some of the worst. These medica org are usually financed and run by Israeli jews who force US Govt and Europe Govts to destroy muslim countries and fight for Israel. The Arab Spring is all fake. Since the CIA, and Israel Mossad and UK M16 spy agencies started about after WWII they do not work like James Bond movies but instead act like the violent radical extreme religious terrorists they blame other countries and persons. The Nato countries claim defense but it is for Israel's benefit to destroy all Mid East and African countries and kill as many blacks, muslims,arabs,palestinians, they even demand US and Nato fight so they can stay home and be Wall Street criminals,lawyers,politicians or media. Gaddaffi has never been a terrorists, he has been blamed for acts that were actually done by Nato countries or Israel did the German disco bombing, the Lockerbie bombing and the 9/11 disaster. Israel forces every US politician and president to sign a pledge guaranteeing they will vote in favor of Israel even when it hurts US citizens. A President and Congress can refuse to sign and some do but it is almost iimpossible to get elected if they dont or get elected president. When Obama got elected the first person he hired was a jew. The first thing done in Libya after protests began was establish business with Israel, not Nato. Israel demands Nato countries destroy a country and they dont care who suffers.Israel will tell the UN not to hire certain people if they are opposed to Israel. Many Congressional Interns and higher level staff get fired when a Jewish Congress person or an Israel org find that Congress person or their aid refuse to do what Israel wants. This is all proven by millions of former Govt workers and Former Treasury Official complained about this very problem ruing US Foreign Policy, andUS Economy. He can be seen on http://www.RT.com (Russia Today in English. Also he may be on youtube the same interviews. So the Arab countries yes there are local people who protest anyway but this mass uprising was caused by Nato countries plus the oil companies, big corporations who with John McCain as one of the worst US terrorists and the spy agencies cause protests, riots, crises, turmoil, cause bombings, wars, overthrow foreign leaders which violates the UN and killing foreign leaders violates UN. Bin Ladin killing was an illegal war crime. War is not democracy and the US and Nato have been failures in overthrows. The countries are worse off after an overthrow, the oil production output is less, less infrastructure because the West refuse to pay for rebuilding everything and refuse to pay for injuries,disabilities and death. Not one but
many NTC, and rebels admitted and local Libyans that most of the rebels were not just inexperienced youths seeking democracies but Al-qaeda fighters brought in from jails that Gaddaffi and the Nato countries put them in,many foreign spies, Nato militaries, private security co.s like blackwater, experienced special forces, local military and police who were bribed to defect and the ones who refused bribes were given threats so they would defect. Hilary Clinton, Sarkozy, and Cameron lead the list of pro war politicians who should be impeached,disbarred from practicing law,it is even on Hilary Clintons Dept of State that al-qaeda are terrorists and helping them in any way can get you a 15 year prison sentence or longer. Gaddaffi did not start this war. The protestors were shot and bombed by Nato, armed rebels al-qaeda and foreign countries military like militaries from Kuwait, Jordan,UAE,Morroco. Denmark and France military ground troops have been beheading Gaddaffi soldiers and using chemical weapons. The White House and other Countries now meet with the media org and tell the media what they can put in their newspapers or magazines. For example Gaddaffi and Syria President Assad get criticized but the Bahrain govt does not nor does Israel when Isreal shoots Palestinians or Egyptions. I recommend the major media to see photos, pictures, and read the posts but for more honesty try globalresearch.ca, axisoflogic.com,english.pravda.ru, mathaba.net,infowars.com,www.rt.com, voltairenetwork.org
Mr. Gaddaffi, will be caugth like the rat he is remember a cat has lots of patience and always gets his mouse. and these rebels in libeya watch them history has a way of repeating itself this country is a haven for terrorist organisations.
we have absolutetly no business in libya. this is nothing more than a witch hunt. this whole farce has been on the back burner in america for years...this is about oil money. and the destablization of africa.....the evil behind this is beyond measure......i cant believe president Obama fell for thiis CIA rouse... whats next . go in a kill chavez,, send a hit quade after castro......shame on america..
NATO new their were Al-Qaeda militants within the NTC. But, whoever help to overthrow Qaddafi NATO would align with them. Will they regret in the future YES! big time.
YES! Thanks to CNN...........
We need neutron bombs. Leave all the infrastructure intact and obliterate all radical rag heads.
What an insightful article.
Terrorist groups are trying to set up for a long-term presence in Libya, a senior defense official said Wednesday, but American intelligence is not showing a mass movement into the country.
I think I'd like to be a senior defense official and say confusing, inane thing too.
This whole Arab Spring thing that Obama is behind is going to be a nightmare for the US. At least with the dictators in place, we new what as going on.
When has it not been?
It seems to me that creating terror states is what NATO and its allies have been doing since the second invation of Iraq. Nothing can be done now. Let's see what horrible things happen next.
It's high time US stopped getting involved everywhere in the world. Get out of Afghanistan. Let Taliban or their masters Pakistan take over. Get out of Iraq. Let the shias and sunnis fight it out. Stop throwing money at Egypt, Palestine, Israel. Let them go kill each other. Stop throwing money at Pakistan. Do not get involved in Libya or any of those Arab spring countries. Remove all bases from Saudi and other Arab countries.
Agree 100%, maybe once we could afford to be the world's policeman, no more it is bankrupting this country.
This was plainly a revenge war against gadhafi for IRA support and the pan am downining. hence the willingness of the west to support at all cost an insugency peppered too obviously with al-quaeda and affiliate orgs.
BTW has any of you noticed that whereas the likes of CNN and western government consider the taliban as terrorists in afganistan, the afgans themselves call them resistance fighters? so who you call terrorist depends on which position you look from. mandela's ANC was for years considered a terrorist organisation most notably by britain and the US government who considred it a threat to the apartheid system in south africa.
LMFAO!!! Another win for the Obama administration! Yes, this is how America should model its foreign policy!
Do I really need to bring up how Bush essentially handed Iraq to the Iranians?
Of course Libya will be a terrorist haven.What else can it be?The country has a history of terrorism.It was ruled by terrorist who was overthrown by terrorist aided by terrorist.
Terrorists, no. How do you define "terrorists"? Is a terrorist a person who fights for money? Well if that is the definition, then any military contractor, blackwater, xe....whatever they call themselves, are a group of mercenary terrorists. Is a terrorist a person who fights to defend their homeland, do they fight based on religious ideologies? Do they attack our soldiers in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, any other country in which we wage illegal wars? Then are they taliban, terrorist or "insurgents"? Is arming the rebels, certain member reportedly part of Al Qaeda a good idea? Because that is what NATO did, so the guys running Gadaffi away, were shooting at our US troops just 6 months ago...these guys travel between borders, arming themselves for money, religious fanaticism, and whatever group will take them. Western intervention, western meddling and our horrible foreign policy, of overthrowing governments, creating illegal wars, continues. We should have never armed and helped the rebels overthrow the Libyan government, we will no doubt invade the Libyan nation soon, not "assisting" the "rebels", but deeming them terrorists now. The "Arab Spring" is nothing more than a fancy coined term for CIA intervention and government Coup's...the same thing we did to Iran, Chile, Guatamala....and now Egypt and Libya. Does anyone see how corrupt our government is? Endless, perpetual war in the false flag operation name of 9/11 as justification to wage war for the rest of this century? Research the Project for the New American Century, research why the third World Trade Center building, building 7, fell on 9/11 despite never being hit by a plane. We are living in unprecedentedly corrupt times in our nations history, and all the mockingbird mainstream media will do is sugar coat it and sell it to you as "spreading democracy" or foreign liberation of a people. Wake up and research. "By having this war on terror, you can never win it... ...so you can always keep taking people's liberties away ...the media can convince everybody that it's real" -Nelson Rockefeller
WAR is a racket. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives... Major General Smedley Butler USMC 1935
I could barely read this all. Delusional paranoid ranting makes my head hurt.
Mass movement INTO the country???? Shoot – most of the 'Rebels' could be considered 'terrorists' LOL
most of the rebels are working class people. if they are all terrorists, then i guess your a redneck inbred clan member. by your reasoning anyway.
actually the rebels are either alqaeda and or led by alqaeda. look hat up. they hve admitted to killing us troops and we legitimized them as libya govt and gave them an embassy in dc. if you like i have eer wondered who are the rebels? the term rebels is a throw away name. gadafi even as the uprisings began there came out and told the world this is alqaeda.
And Brian is sterotyping racist. Tell me Brian, what do you call a group of individuals who fight over representation of specific colors and turf (or blocks) within a city? Nah, you would use a PC word for them wouldn't you?
The NTC has gone to great lengths to remove Gaghafi from power and I want to believe they are not about to hand it over to a bunch of extremists
Qaddafi was the one keeping the militants, terrorists back and under thumb, with him gone, it is open season. CNN not long ago ran a story even saying Islamic militants and Al Qaeda supporters were released from the Libya prisons. No one even knows who the NTC rebels are.
Give thanks to NATO
There goes the news media again making a mountain out of a mole hill.
Unfortunately, it isn't just Libya. Any Muslim nation where the government has failed or been removed is perfect for al Qaeda. Not that the people actively support the terrorists, it is just that they look the other way for any organization who is working to eliminate the "infidel dogs" of the US and European nations.
i really do think most people in this country read the news like its an ad lib. they read a few words then put in their own. or they cant read
al-Qaeda and terrorism are DEAD !! Completely dead !!
Terrorism has not managed to achieve the change of even a single government over that past 20 years.
Terrorism is dead as a philosophy of change.
Arab Spring protests proved much more successful at bringing about regime change that anything the terrorists ever did.
terrorism is not dead, as long as people are unhappy with their lives they will lash out at people, the ideals they use are a joke to recruit ignorant foot soldiers. sounds a lot like religion when i put it that way
my dear us1776, where have you been hiding? obama provided air support to these terrorists without even consulting congress. he did not consult the Congress because he knew they will never approve it. So the US spent $300million weekly to support obama's terrorist bffs, while in the US people are jobless, losing their houses, going hungry. Stop being biased and think about what this guy is doing to our country.
Obama inherited what Bush started, why blame Obama on the war and the economy. Bush deviated from the reason why the US went to war in the middle east in the first place.......... Osama Bin Laden was hiding in Afghanistan, what was the real reason for going into Iraq??
the arabs live to kill, not ever an arab to invent something for humanity, no cures for illness,nothing ever, so many duds, a better word without them, all are terrorists, thats what they are taught, and tell them to stop suicide killings,heaven has run out of virgins
Arabs didn't invent anything? ever? guess you shouldn't look at the top row of your keyboard. guess you never took algebra in high school (or earlier... or later... whenever you stopped paying attention in math class).
Actually the Arabic Numerals are called the Hindu numerals.
The reason we call the Arabic numerals is because Europe got them from the Arabs.
The Arabs got them from India.
you've got to be a troll. that or you are complete moron. your comment there has got to be one of the dumbest i've read on this thing, and that's pretty bad. go back to school. please. also, please don't procreate.
The bird of paradise has told me that all those suicide bombers are being chased by little devils with pitchforks.
(but American intelligence is not showing a mass movement into the country.) well thats because the American intelligence is helping the Rebel Terrorists.
guess you support ghadaffi.
And who didn't see this coming?? I'll never understand why we don't learn from our mistakes. Obama=Bush.
i don't see the connection you are making?
Obama- we gave verbal support that the people in Libya should stand up for their freedom. then when they asked for help we used the UN to help them achieve it, with very little USA casualties and had very low costs
Bush- went to war on lies, had no support from the UN, had no plan on how to handle the problems he created, and out sourced all the work to (dick Cheyennes old company)
ohh because its in the middle east its the same thing right? could you even find Libya on a map? or the middle east?
Moron- the U.N is a puppet and the whole world knows it. You think the POTUS has a plan for Libya in the next decade...highly doubt it. The involvement of a single US asset or servicemember contitutes wrongful actions in this country. MG was not a threat to the US or its interests, he even supported anti-terror ops in the region. Why would we even get involved???
Last time I checked Libya was in Africa, not the Middle East.
US has lots of experience toppling unpopular dictators and installing democratic regimes ... Afghanistan, Iraq ... what could possibly go wrong?
Libya toppled their own regime, we forced the others to change
We handed them democracy on a silver platter at the cost of thousands of young American lives. You might as well have handed them escargot because they have no idea what to do with it and don't understand all of the fuss.
is it a country filled wit arabs and muslims?u got ur answer all ready dats sum str8 talk 4reel
New war. New terrorist hang out. Pakistan can only hope that maybe the drones and the bombs will stop. PEace to ALL.

Monica Grundmann has been involved in many competitions with her Morab horse, Excalibur Legend. Together they ve won many different awards including taking home first place in the Canadian National Morab Champianships. The goal is to come out of novice and into the open category doing 80k in a day, said Grundmann.
Monica Grundmann has only lost one competition since she's started competing with her Morab horse, Excalibur Legend 'Legend' and that was only because she helped another competitor.
Grundmann has won multiple awards for the competitions she has entered.
Her walls are covered with coloured ribbons and photos of her and Legend.
Some of her ribbons include a first place for the Canadian National Morab Championship in 2007, Canadian Morab Hall of Fame, 2007, Tulip Arabian Horse Show, 2008, and she has also been in the top five Novice Riders in Ontario for competitive trail riding...

Russian special forces have killed eight fighters, including two regional commanders of insurgent groups, in the country's turbulent North Caucasus region, officials said on Saturday.
Security forces launched two operations late on Friday, Russia's National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAK) said.
The two commanders killed, Islam Magomedov, 28, and Arsen Magomedov, 29, have been on the special forces' wanted list since 2010, an NAK spokesman in Moscow told Reuters.
"Seven militants, including two local leaders, have been eliminated in a fire exchange in the Kayakent and Sergokala districts of Dagestan," the spokesman said.
The eighth fighters was killed during an operation in the Kabardino-Balkaria region, he said.Last Mod: 14 Temmuz 2012, 15:16

Putting the GM Bailout in Context: A Defense of Jim Manzi
Since we're talking about it, I wanted to clarify my own views about the GM bailout.
I don't believe this Administration, the prior one, or any likely future Administration thinks it's a good idea for the government to be in the auto business. Higher education, maybe. Health care, perhaps. Mass transit, potentially. But I don't know anyone making the case for socializing the auto industry.
I also don't believe either this Administration, or the previous one, did anything resembling a serious cost-benefit analysis to arrive at the conclusion that te government should bail out GM. I think there's value in that kind of analysis, but I don't believe it can be done effectively on the fly – and anyway, I think it was very clear that all parties knew the political realities going in, and knew what result they wanted from any analysis.
The government simply was not going to let GM go bankrupt after bailing out the banks. Period. This was a political decision. That kind of decision happens all the time, and I don't feel like very much is implicated by it philosophically. Each party doubtlessly has its debating points to make about how costly the bailout was (or how much less costly than expected) but they are just that: debating points. There is no great push to socialize American manufacturing generally, nor do I feel that anti-GM-bailout sentiment now will have any material bearing on whether the government acts similarly in the future under similar circumstances – such as an incipient global near-depression. In that sense, I really don't see that GM "matters" all that much.
What matters a whole lot more than GM is learning something from the last decade's financial debacle, as it was this debacle that both finally drove GM into bankruptcy and created the political climate in which a GM bailout was necessary. In that regard, it's worth pointing out that Jim is far from a caricature of a right-wing ideologue. Rather, the lesson he takes from the crisis is that we need to restore something like Glass-Stegall: something that prevents banks that take insured deposits from taking certain kinds of risks. I'm skeptical that the G-S framework would actually achieve this, but I agree with the goal – but more to the point, this is a call, from a conservative, for fairly stringent and heavy-handed (albeit relatively uncomplicated) regulation of a major sector of the economy.
By way of putting GM in another context, how does the GM bailout compare, in terms of sheer dollars wasted on a venture undertaken with very little attempt to calculate an expected return, to the war in Iraq? In this regard as well, it's worth pointing out that Jim has been consistently critical of the extremely forward nature of America's defense posture. He's not Ron Paul or Daniel Larison, but he is very far from a typical movement conservative on this score as well.
Finally, on many areas where Jim does line up on the "right" side of the debate, his perspective doesn't always lead where you might think. For example, Jim has written a great deal about climate change, an about the difficulties with using the tax code to try to do anything meaningful about what he acknowledged could be a very serious problem. In my back-and-forth with him, it emerged that Jim agreed that a gas tax hike would be a more-optimal revenue-raiser from his perspective than a hike in income tax rates, or a carbon tax, or a VAT, or almost any other new tax. It might still be less-optimal from his perspective than, say, cutting the mortgage interest deduction or privatizing Medicare. But that conclusion – better than most other ta hikes! – is still a pretty significant one, and, if he were a legislator, the potential basis for fruitful negotiation.
Those are much more consequential debates than any debate about GM. However sympathetic or not I may be to Jim's epistemic humility project, I defy regular readers of this blog to look at what Jim has written on these topics and conclude that his philosophical premises lead inexorably to predictable partisan conclusions.

Synonyms for featherbed
I have heard of one who used to get into the middle of a featherbed.
Coming home it was a gorgeous winter's night on the Featherbed Mountain.
I have a piece of mutton and a featherbed for you at all times; I pray make haste.
A bit of straw matting, laid over a featherbed, and covered with the under sheet, makes a very cool bed for an infant.
It is, indeed, from no featherbed journey or carpet-knight's tour that Mr Coke has recently returned.
A simple strip of broad straw matting, spread over a featherbed, answers the same purpose.
Nothing is more debilitating, than, in warm weather, to sleep with a featherbed pressing round the greater part of the body.
Return to his bedroom, throw off the clothes, beat the featherbed, see that the fustian and sheets are clean.
After such a galvanic shock, I could have found, if that had been my need, a featherbed on the Arc de l'toile.
She had the featherbed temperament, and soothed masculine nerves exacerbated by the cruel exigencies of art.

She was just 28, when the letter came. Justice Williams, a judge at the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, had spoken in the House of Commons, and when she saw the envelope and realised it was from the then Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, she assumed it was related to that. It wasn't, she discovered that she going to receive an MBE.
So, in 2009, Justice became the youngest woman of Afro-Carribean heritage to receive an MBE, from the Queen.
"I used entrepreneurship as a tool to get young people out of poverty and also to get young people out of gangs and gang culture," and it was for her work in this area, that she won the accolade.
Justice is, by her own admission, "quite outspoken," maybe we could delete the word quite from that description.
"It is absolutely disgusting!" she says. "Living in the city of Birmingham, where one in three children live beneath the poverty line, we are supposed to be the advanced world."
So, what can we do about it?
"Entrepreneurship is a viable way of getting people out of poverty," she says.
A few years ago: "The done thing was to go to college, go to university, get a job, get married, have a holiday, 2.4 kids, buy a house, pay off your credit card and live happily ever after!"
"But now kids want more, they want to live, contribute more and they want to enjoy life and they are encouraged to experience more at a younger age … Lots of young people are more socially conscious of what is going on in the wider world, especially with younger females. Statistics show that young women are waiting a lot longer to settle down, get married and have children, 20 years ago that was not the case."
"The UK has the highest rate of childcare costs in western Europe, discriminating against women," but they say necessity is the mother of invention, and today something different is happening.
Justice explains: "Take a corporate lady, who has been in the corporate sector for ten years, she has a child while in her early thirties and then decides that the demands of the work and inflexibility of the working place will not allow her to raise her child, while having a career. It is very hard for women to go back to work after taking time off, they lose their confidence, they have low self-esteem.
"They then decide to stay at home and start their own business. They then have the flexibility to be present in their child's life, earn an income, utilising the skills that they have gained, and deal with the childcare issues."
But then there are other factors at play. The UK is more entrepreneurial than it used to be, I suggest, and Justice agrees with that. But why?
"I saw the introduction of channel 5, mobile phones, the internet" she says, "but the millennial generation grew up with technology at their fingertips, it is normal for them, and as result we are so much more interconnected."
Then there is the rise of portfolio careers, where people "do a little bit of this and a little bit of that, we, as a generation are encouraged to try new stuff, at the same time young people are travelling, but less are going to university because it is too expensive."
And then Justice turns to a subject that clearly matters to her. "A lot of people from disadvantaged backgrounds can't afford to go to university." And "It is the same with unpaid internships. That may be viable if you have two, middle class, predominantly white, parents who can pay for you, but those from a working-class background don't have those opportunities afforded to them." But as result "they look at alternatives."
But she thinks the government can do so much more. "We are not focusing on that. The only thing that we have is start-up loans, all the grants have disappeared, there is no more business link, no free advice. Where do people go?"
When Justice was 21, she had a short spell in prison for 15 days. "I had a good up-bringing" she says, "but she fell in with the wrong crowd."
But I get the impression that this experience changed her. Certainty, to be awarded the MBE just seven years later was an extraordinary achievement.
And I think the real message I am getting from Justice is that entrepreneurism can transform lives, give hope where there was despair, create opportunity where there was once no hope.
And for that reason, the imperative for the government to step in where appropriate and support and encourage this new spirit of entrepreneurism, both in disadvantaged areas, and also support female entrepreneurs, is without question.
"The government should be providing mandatory enterprise education as part of the curriculum, we need to learn from other countries in northern Europe like Finland," says Justice. "Careers advisers should tell children about enterprise and we need to have enterprise programmes running in schools."
Justice does not lack passion, but then it is passion like that which can change Britain for the better.
Justice Williams is Diversity in Tech Ambassador, Founder of Behind Her Dreams, a network and online membership platform to support entrepreneurial women in the UK and the Managing Director of The New Narrative Enterprises Ltd.
The UK is emerging an entrepreneurial success story – but more needs to be done, and one way to achieve this is to shine the media spotlight on entrepreneurs, their challenges, their failures and of course their successes.

Watch Taylor Swift Perform 'All Of Me' With John Legend, 'Dreams' With Beck and St. Vincent
As Taylor Swift continues to surprise her audiences with superstar guests, she also continues to prove the wide variety in her music taste and famous friends.
During her fourth sold-out show at L.A.'s Staples Center on Tuesday (Aug. 25), the popstar brought out John Legend, Beck and St. Vincent.
First up was Legend, who performed "All Of Me" at a piano while Swift sang (and danced) next to it in a gold floor-length dress. The song was surprisingly fitting to Swift's sultry tone and their harmonies throughout were sweet. Swift posted an Instagram from the moment, excitedly captioning it, "ALL OF ME. JOHN LEGEND. ALL THE FEELS."
Toward the end of the show, Beck joined Swift onstage for his latest single, "Dreams," accompanied by St. Vincent on guitar. Although it wasn't quite the sing-along that "All Of Me" was, Swift clearly enjoyed herself, and the pyro show during St. Vincent's solo got the crowd amped.
Watch clips of the performances below.

Zero Tolerance: Texas Imam Forced To Resign For Backing Trump's 'Muslim Ban'; Says He's Not Alone – BizPac Review
What happened to a Texas imam proved once again that Islam is an intolerant religion – even in secular matters.
Either toe the line or you're out.
Dr. Nidal Alsayyed, religious director of the Islamic Society of Triplex in Beaumont, Texas, announced Monday that he supported Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's call for a temporary ban on Muslim refugees entering the United States.
"We American Muslims need to be sincere to our religion and to the country we are living in," he told local station 12 News Now. "Peace comes before religion."
He reiterated his position on national TV Wednesday night.
The following day, Alsayyed was out.
"Don't get me involved in any political games in the name of religion. I am not here a political man," he told KDFM News.
Yet, it was his political opinion that caused him to lose his position as imam.
"Sadly, it's Clinton versus Trump," he said.
"I think any future candidates, presidents who do not support the fact that we need to be more safe and more cautious about whom to bring into this country, whether a Muslim or not," Dr. Alsayyed said.
He insisted his comments had everything to do with peace and safety and nothing to do with politics, adding that Trump's comments are in line with the Islamic religion.
"The text of the holy Qur'an says the loss of one life is equivalent to killing the whole mankind," he said.
The mass shooting in San Bernardino by Islamic terrorists helped to gel his opinion on the matter.
"But the way it happens when you see this mass shooting and you see some people coming with such a very peaceful background and all of the sudden the intelligences themselves, the agencies are not able to figure out what's happening, why all of a sudden this guy or this girl or that lady open fire and kill 15 people, because American Muslims are not doing their job in the country. So we need to stop, we need to stop taking new ones until we fix the existing situation," Alsayyed said.
He soon discovered that he wasn't the only local imam to lose his position over politics.
"I came to know this morning from some close contacts and friends over 102 Imams, religious people in Houston, were fired and forced to basically leave their jobs, leave their mosques only because they did not get along with the political agenda for their board members," he said.
Alsayyed told the station he accepted the position in order to help young people understand Islam.

Background and Statutory Findings In the Federal Register of April 8, 2009 (74 FR 15969) (FRL-8407- 6), EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408(d)(3) of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide tolerance petition (PP 8F7508) by Novozymes Biologicals, Inc., 5400 Corporate Circle, Salem, VA 24153. The petition requested that 40 CFR part 180 be amended by establishing an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52. This notice referenced a summary of the petition prepared by the petitioner, Novozymes Biologicals, Inc., which is available in the docket, via http://www.regulations.gov. There were no comments received in response to the notice of filing. Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish an exemption from the requirement for a tolerance (the legal limit for a pesticide chemical residue in or on a food) only if EPA determines that the exemption is ``safe.'' Section 408(c)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines ``safe'' to mean that ``there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue, including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable information.'' This includes exposure through drinking water and in residential settings but does not include occupational exposure. Pursuant to section 408(c)(2)(B) of FFDCA, in establishing or maintaining in effect an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance, EPA must take into account the factors set forth in section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA, which require EPA to give special consideration to exposure of infants and children to the pesticide chemical residue in establishing a tolerance exemption and to ``ensure that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to infants and children from aggregate [[Page 26196]] exposure to the pesticide chemical residue. * * *'' Additionally, section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA requires that EPA consider ``available information concerning the cumulative effects of [a particular pesticide's] residues and other substances that have a common mechanism of toxicity.'' EPA performs a number of analyses to determine the risks from aggregate exposure to pesticide residues. First, EPA determines the toxicity of pesticides. Second, EPA examines exposure to the pesticide through food, drinking water, and through other exposures that occur as a result of pesticide use in residential settings. III. Toxicological Profile Consistent with section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, EPA has reviewed the available scientific data and other relevant information in support of this action and has considered its validity, completeness, and reliability and the relationship of this information to human risk. EPA has also considered available information concerning the variability of the sensitivities of major identifiable subgroups of consumers, including infants and children. A. Overview of Metarhizium Anisopliae Strain F52 Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 (called MetF52), a deuteromycetous and entomopathogenic fungus that is found worldwide, infects numerous insect (primarily Coleoptera of the families Elateridae and Curculionidae), mite, and tick species that are contacted by it. Once spores of Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 attach to the surface of the target pest, they germinate, grow, penetrate the target pest's exoskeleton, continue to grow in the target pest, and eventually cause death. Susceptible insects, mites, or ticks that come into contact with other insects, mites, or ticks that have been infected with Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 also become infected with the fungus, thus continuing this microbe's pesticidal effect. Given this distinct capability and efficiency in controlling various insects, mites, and ticks, Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 is currently recognized as the active ingredient in several microbial pesticide products, which were conditionally registered under section 3 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) in June 2003 to Earth BioSciences, Inc. Since the registration of these pesticide products in 2003, they have been labeled specifically for non-food applications in urban and suburban (residential) areas to control various insects (e.g., thrips and root weevils), mites, and ticks. In 2006, the Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52-containing registrations were transferred from Earth BioSciences, Inc. to Novozymes Biologicals, Inc. (TAE-001 Technical Bioinsecticide, EPA Reg. No. 70127-7; Taenure Granular Bioinsecticide, EPA Reg. No. 70127-8; Tick-EX G, EPA Reg. No. 70127-9; Tick-EX EC, EPA Reg. No. 70127-10). After maintaining the registrations with non-food uses for several years, Novozymes Biologicals, Inc. has now petitioned EPA to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 in or on all food commodities. Accordingly, EPA has reevaluated an assessment of the mammalian toxicology data that were submitted prior to 2003 to support the initial applications for Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 pesticide products. The overall conclusions from these data are described in Unit III.B., while more in-depth synopses of the study results can be found in a 2001 risk assessment, the 2003 Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 Biopesticides Registration Action Document (BRAD), and the 2011 Addendum to the Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 BRAD provided as references in Unit IX. (Refs. 1, 2, and 3). B. Microbial Pesticide Toxicology Data Requirements All mammalian toxicology data requirements supporting the request for an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 in or on all food commodities have been fulfilled with acceptable studies. 1. Acute oral toxicity and pathogenicity--rat (Harmonized Guideline 885.3050; Master Record Identification Number (MRID No.) 448447-09). An acceptable acute oral toxicity and pathogenicity study demonstrated that Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 was not toxic and/or pathogenic to rats when dosed at approximately 1.04 x 10\8\ colony-forming units (cfu)/animal. 2. Acute dermal toxicity--rabbit (Harmonized Guideline 885.3100; MRID No. 448447-10). An acceptable acute dermal toxicity study demonstrated that Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 was not toxic to rabbits when dosed at 3.63-4.42 x 10\10\ cfu/animal (median lethal dose (LD 50) > 2,000 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg); Toxicity Category III). 3. Acute pulmonary toxicity and pathogenicity--rat (Harmonized Guideline 885.3150; MRID No. 448447-11). An acceptable acute pulmonary toxicity and pathogenicity study demonstrated that Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 was not toxic and/or pathogenic to rats when dosed intratracheally at approximately 1.17 x 10\8\ cfu/animal. 4. Acute injection toxicity and pathogenicity--rat (Harmonized Guideline 885.3200; MRID No. 448447-12). An acceptable acute injection toxicity and pathogenicity study demonstrated that Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 was not toxic and/or pathogenic to rats when dosed intraperitoneally at approximately 1 x 10\7\ cfu/animal. 5. Acute eye irritation--rabbit (Harmonized Guideline 870.2400; MRID No. 448447-13). An acceptable acute eye irritation study demonstrated that Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 was moderately irritating (i.e., the test substance caused corneal opacity, iritis, and conjunctival irritation with resolution by day 4) to rabbits when dosed at 6.3 x 10\8\ cfu/eye/animal (Toxicity Category III). 6. Dermal sensitization--guinea pig (Harmonized Guideline 870.2600; MRID No. 448447-15). An acceptable dermal sensitization study demonstrated that Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 was not a dermal sensitizer to guinea pigs when induced and challenged at 2.37 x 10\9\ cfu. 7. Hypersensitivity incidents (Harmonized Guideline 885.3400; MRID No. 448447-14). No hypersensitivity incidents involving Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 and occurring during fermentation, processing, formulation, research, or application have been reported to EPA. IV. Aggregate Exposure In examining aggregate exposure, section 408 of FFDCA directs EPA to consider available information concerning exposures from the pesticide residue in food and all other non-occupational exposures, including drinking water from ground water or surface water and exposure through pesticide use in gardens, lawns, or buildings (residential and other indoor uses). A. Dietary Exposure Dietary exposure to this microbial pesticide may occur (more likely through food than drinking water), but the lack of acute oral toxicity, infectivity, and/or pathogenicity, as exhibited in a toxicology test on rats presented in Unit III.B., supports the establishment of a tolerance exemption for residues of Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52. [[Page 26197]] 1. Food. Exposure to this microbial active ingredient through food is expected to be minimal. When applied in accordance with good agricultural practices, Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52, a known pathogen of various insects, mites, and ticks, is unlikely to persist on plants. Any spores on plants due to pesticide application would presumably decrease over time, similar to other fungal entomopathogens and microbial pest control agents, because of environmental factors such as rainfall, ultraviolet radiation, and temperature (Refs. 4 and 5). For example, several studies, designed to evaluate the susceptibility of Metarhizium spores to sunlight, showed that ultraviolet radiation (UV-A and UV-B) quickly causes inactivation of these spores, both with and without the use of substances intended to act as sunscreens (Ref. 6). In the unlikely event that the applied fungus grew on the edible portions of treated crops, the results of the toxicology testing demonstrated that no toxicity, infectivity, and/or pathogenicity in treated animals occurred, even when dosed with high levels of Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 by the oral route of exposure (see additional discussion in Unit III.B.). In conclusion, there are no concerns for Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 exposure through food. 2. Drinking water exposure. Much like dietary exposure, drinking water exposure is expected to be negligible, albeit for slightly different reasons. Given the terrestrial use sites, the application methods with reduced chance for offsite movement of Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 (e.g., soil incorporation), and low application rates, it is not likely that use of Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 products, when good agricultural practices are followed, will result in significant increase in fungal spore exposure in drinking water. With regard to percolation through the soil, Zimmerman (2007) suggests that Metarhizium anisopliae is a typical soil-borne fungus as it has mostly been isolated from the upper soil layer. Further, Zimmerman (2007) also goes on to describe field tests in which many sprayed Metarhizium anisopliae spores were found in upper layers of loamy soil and humus, thereby supporting the soil adhesion theory and the absence of significant spore percolation down to ground water. In the unlikely event of exposure to Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 spores through drinking water, the results of the oral toxicology testing, as described in Unit III.B., demonstrated that no toxicity, infectivity, and/or pathogenicity in treated animals occurred. As was concluded for food exposure, there are no concerns for Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 exposure through drinking water. B. Other Non-Occupational Exposure Deuteromycetous fungi, such as Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52, are naturally occurring and found worldwide. As a pesticidal active ingredient, Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 has historically been applied in residential areas. Because of the use patterns and low application rates, there will not likely be a significant increase in exposure over the background levels of Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 in these residential areas. Furthermore, there is no evidence of any concern for inhalation or dermal toxicity at exposure levels several orders of magnitude higher than would be expected to be encountered by a typical residential end user (see Unit III.B.). Finally, given that this deuteromycetous fungi affects only certain species of insects, mites, and ticks, and that no recognized relationships exist between the Metarhizium genus and any pathogen of humans and animals, no adverse effects to humans from inhalation or dermal exposure to this widespread fungus have been reported or are anticipated. V. Cumulative Effects From Substances With a Common Mechanism of Toxicity Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of FFDCA requires that, when considering whether to establish, modify, or revoke a tolerance, EPA consider ``available information concerning the cumulative effects of [a particular pesticide's] residues and other substances that have a common mechanism of toxicity.'' EPA has not found Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 to share a common mechanism of toxicity with any other substances, and Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 does not appear to produce a toxic metabolite produced by other substances. For the purposes of this tolerance action, therefore, EPA has assumed that Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 does not have a common mechanism of toxicity with other substances. Following from this, therefore, EPA concludes that there are no cumulative effects associated with Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 that need to be considered. For information regarding EPA's efforts to determine which chemicals have a common mechanism of toxicity and to evaluate the cumulative effects of such chemicals, see EPA's Web site at http:// www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative. VI. Determination of Safety for U.S. Population, Infants and Children FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(C) provides that EPA shall assess the available information about consumption patterns among infants and children, special susceptibility of infants and children to pesticide chemical residues, and the cumulative effects on infants and children of the residues and other substances with a common mechanism of toxicity. In addition, FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(C) provides that EPA shall apply an additional tenfold margin of safety for infants and children in the case of threshold effects to account for prenatal and postnatal toxicity and the completeness of the database unless EPA determines that a different margin of safety will be safe for infants and children. Margins of exposure (safety), which are often referred to as uncertainty factors, are incorporated into EPA risk assessments, either directly, or through the use of a margin of exposure analysis, or by using uncertainty (safety) factors in calculating a dose level that poses no appreciable risk. Based on the acute toxicity and pathogenicity data discussed in Unit III.B., as well as use of Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 as a microbial pesticide for approximately eight years without reported adverse effects to humans, EPA concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to the U.S. population, including infants and children, from aggregate exposure to the residues of Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52. This includes all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable information. EPA has arrived at this conclusion because the data and information available on Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 do not demonstrate toxic, pathogenic, and/or infective potential to mammals. Thus, there are no threshold effects of concern and, as a result, an additional margin of safety is not necessary. VII. Other Considerations A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology An analytical method is not required for enforcement purposes since EPA is establishing an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance without any numerical limitation. B. International Residue Limits In making its tolerance decisions, EPA seeks to harmonize U.S. tolerances with international standards whenever [[Page 26198]] possible, consistent with U.S. food safety standards and agricultural practices. In this context, EPA considers the international maximum residue limits (MRLs) established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), as required by FFDCA section 408(b)(4). The Codex Alimentarius is a joint U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization food standards program, and it is recognized as an international food safety standards-setting organization in trade agreements to which the United States is a party. EPA may establish a tolerance that is different from a Codex MRL; however, FFDCA section 408(b)(4) requires that EPA explain the reasons for departing from the Codex level. The Codex has not established a MRL for Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52. VIII. Conclusions EPA concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to the U.S. population, including infants and children, from aggregate exposure to residues of Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52. Therefore, an exemption is established for residues of Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 in or on all food commodities when applied as an insecticide, miticide, or ixodicide and used in accordance with good agricultural practices.

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews This final rule establishes a tolerance exemption under section 408(d) of FFDCA in response to a petition submitted to EPA. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from review under Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this final rule has been exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this final rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), or Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). This final rule does not contain any information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., nor does it require any special considerations under Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis of a petition under section 408(d) of FFDCA, such as the tolerance exemption in this final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply. This final rule directly regulates growers, food processors, food handlers, and food retailers, not States or tribes. As a result, this action does not alter the relationships or distribution of power and responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions of section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. As such, EPA has determined that this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or tribal governments, on the relationship between the national government and the States or tribal governments, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. Thus, EPA has determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999), and Executive Order 13175, entitled Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), do not apply to this final rule. In addition, this final rule does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 104-4). This action does not involve any technical standards that would require EPA consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). XI. Congressional Review Act The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of this final rule in the Federal Register. This final rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 180 Environmental protection, Administrative practice and procedure, Agricultural commodities, Pesticides and pests, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Dated: April 28, 2011. Steven Bradbury, Director, Office of Pesticide Programs. Therefore, 40 CFR chapter I is amended as follows: PART 180--[AMENDED] 0 1. The authority citation for part 180 continues to read as follows: Authority: 21 U.S.C. 321(q), 346a and 371. 0 2. Section 180.1303 is added to subpart D to read as follows: Sec. 180.1303 Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52; exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. An exemption from the requirement of a tolerance is established for residues of Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 in or on all food commodities when applied as an insecticide, miticide, or ixodicide and used in accordance with good agricultural practices.

SEOUL – The Korean box office cracked $1 billion in revenue for the first time in 2010, despite a drop in overall theater admissions due to higher ticket costs for multiplex theaters and 3D films, according to an annual report by the Korean Film Council. Despite the overall drop in admissions, theater revenue rose by 6.5 percent, from 1.078 trillion won ($959.4 million) in 2009 to 1.15 trillion won ($1.02 billion). Twenty-six 3D films sold 16.77 million tickets and made 189 billion won last year, taking 11.4 percent of total admissions. Admissions for Korean films dropped by 9.6 percent in 2010. Analysts at KOFIC predicted the higher ticket costs for multiplex theaters, which rose from 6,970 won ($6) to 7,834 won. CJ Entertainment had the highest market share among the distributors at 27.8 percent, followed by 20th Century Fox at 10.9 percent and Lotte Entertainment at 10.6 percent. Showbox, which came in second in 2008, came in seventh at 6.8 percent. The overall production budget of Korean films was estimated at 383 billion won, up 9.5 billion won from the previous year.

The road to the AEC has some bumps
By David Swartzemtruber
Speaking recently in Singapore, Asean Secretary General Surin Pitsuwan said implementation might be Asean's biggest problem in moving toward a successful start.
While agreements with Asean have been ratified by the member states, they have to make that next important step which is to make new national laws that correspond with the agreements. Laws have to be passed to enable the implementation of the agreements, while the respective finance ministries have to allocate the necessary provisions for the plans to be put into effect.
This could be difficult. Many Asean companies came into existence aided by good political connections. New implementation laws could strain those relationships Dr. Surin said the diversity within Asean, is also reflected in the different levels of governance. Problems in implementing integration agreements arise, he said, when there are vested interests, including the interests of "big families".
Dr. Pitsuwan is originally from Thailand, where it has been documented that 120 families, many of them Chinese-Thai families, have significant clout.
As the countdown to Asean draws closer, look at internal political developments within each country to see if implementation is proceeding. Asean countries could be dramatically transformed within the next five years but probably not without stubborn resistance from vested interests.

Happy Pride week, everybody!
The term "cuck" has become a new weapon of choice for many on the Alt-Right. Short for "cuckservative," the word is defined by Urban Dictionary as, "a self-styled Conservative who will cravenly sell out and undermine his home country's people, culture, and national interest in order to win approval with parties hostile or indifferent to them."
Essentially, the Alt-Right throws out this word whenever they hear an opinion that deviates from their own. In this respect, they employ the same tactic that the Left uses whenever they aren't intellectually capable of furthering a political discussion. "You're a cuck!" is no different a debating strategy than "You're a sexist!" or "You're a racist!" except that it probably yields even less value than being called one of the latter.
Trolls on the Internet who seek to end debate by attacking character rather than ideas are the ones who've adopted this term. For people on the Right, but not the Alt-Right, the word's popularity should be both concerning and reassuring for different reasons.
The bad news is, the increasing popularity of "cuck" is emblematic of an intellectual decline on the Right. Many who sway from political Left to Right do so because conservatism can be defended using reason, empiricism, and facts -- certainly more so than the emotionally driven ideology of Leftism.
Therefore there is no need to use for the word "cuck" if your arguments are either logical or factual, and can be articulated as such. If conservative ideals are now being defended by character attacks and diluted words, not only are we no different than the Left, we will lose to them in the cultural-political boxing ring.
The Left effectively owns a monopoly on feelings and emotion. This is because their ideology frequently substitutes compassion for reason and commonsense. If the Right employs strategies grounded in feelings and emotion, we will lose. This is because "racist" is more powerful than "cuck" to anyone who is on-the-fence politically.
When someone hears a Leftist call their political opposition a "racist," non-partisan listeners are more likely to side with the Leftist because they don't want to be affiliated with, or classified as, a racist. This is an emotional response, but nonetheless a general truth.
However, when someone hears an Alt-Rightist call someone else a cuck, they are likely not to be moved by it, and to think that it's just some meaningless slang – which it is.
The best way to respond to accusations of racism, sexism or ideological cuckoldry is to ridicule the other person for resorting to character attacks rather than arguments. The last thing you want to do is switch the debate from free trade versus tariffs, to why you're not a cuck.
Not only is this pointless, it implicitly concedes that the other person's use of name calling is a worthy tactic.
People on the Right should be reassured whenever they're called a cuck, is because it is generally a good litmus test for your convictions.
When you're debating policy and someone resorts to calling you a sexist, bigot or racist, you should feel victorious. The too-frequent use of these words has caused a momentous decline in their power. If being called a sexist or racist once meant something, it no longer does.
The same is true of being called a cuck. If you're in a debate with an Alt-Rightist, and they call you a cuck after you explain why placing tariffs on Chinese imports would reduce the well-being of both American and Chinese people, you can be fairly certain that you have just won the argument.
Socrates once said that in debate, slander becomes the tool of the loser. He's right. And it's not just true when someone calls you a sexist, racist, bigot, or homophobe, its true when you're called a cuck as well.
