Gloria Steinem has called President Donald Trump the « harasser in chief » on the opening night of a sold-out women’s conference in Boston.
BOSTON (AP) – Gloria Steinem has called President Donald Trump the « harasser in chief » on the opening night of a sold-out women’s conference in Boston.
The feminist icon on Wednesday night addressed the wave of sexual harassment allegations against some of the nation’s most powerful men. She said the actions were about power, not sex, and women are gaining their voices in a way that has never happened before.
More than a dozen women have said Trump sexually assaulted or harassed them over the years, some going back decades. He has denied the allegations.
Actresses Meryl Streep and Viola Davis are among prominent women are scheduled to participate in the 13th annual Massachusetts Conference for Women.
The conference is devoted to themes of leadership, networking, inspiration, professional development and personal growth.

Pop-Tarts Tweet Police About Illinois Man Who Eats Pastries Wrong Way

Pop-Tarts takes their consumption of their pastries seriously — so much, in fact, they contacted the Illinois State Police when an Illinois man slathered mustard on his pop-tarts and posted to social media.
Pop-Tarts takes consumption of their pastries seriously — so much, in fact, they contacted the State Police when an Illinois man slathered mustard on his pop-tarts and posted it to social media.
The tongue-in-cheek brand learned of this offender on Tuesday after he posted his love for covering his Dunkin’ Donuts Vanilla Latte-flavored Pop-Tarts with yellow mustard, reported Fox32 .

“You guys aint [sic] from Illinois if you don’t put mustard on your poptarts [sic],” wrote the man in a now-deleted Twitter post which also contained a photo of his mustard-slathered pastry, according to Fox32.
As you can imagine, things escalated quickly and the official Twitter account of Pop-Tarts retweeted the man’s post, tagged the Illinois State Police Department and asked them to intervene, according to Twitter.
“Can you guys handle this[?]” they inquired.
Though their query was met with silence, the police department of Dixon, Ill. responded on Wednesday to offer a helping hand. “Ain’t nobody puttin’ mustard on their Pop-Tarts in Illinois,” they pledged.
Pop-Tarts later retweeted the Dixon PD’s message, thanking them for their support. “Due to the severity of the crime, we need all the help we can get,” the company added.

Pop-Tarts said it considered the battle to be “won,” as the Illinois offender deleted the original Twitter post with the victimized pop-tart on Thursday morning.
Pop-Tarts have been analyzing people’s odd flavor mash-ups for the past few weeks now according to their Twitter activity — and let’s just say people love their condiments.
Pop-Tarts has a lot of calling out to do as people are now posting their ridiculous combos and it is VERY entertaining. Pop-Tarts has no shame in calling you out for your bizarre combos – so consider yourself warned and post with caution….

ソフトB3位増田、熱男の次は増男~!! 元気印でもサードでも!ポスト松田!! 新入団選手発表会見

0

熱男の 後継は…増男(ますお)!福岡ソフトバンクの ドラフト3位、 神奈川・ 横浜高の 増田珠(しゅう)内野手(18)=長崎…
熱男の後継は…増男(ますお)! 福岡ソフトバンクのドラフト3位、神奈川・横浜高の増田珠(しゅう)内野手(18)=長崎市出身=が「ポスト松田」に名乗りを上げた。7日、福岡市内のホテルで新入団選手発表会見に臨み、明るいキャラ全開で早くも工藤監督のハートをゲット。背番号3の「MATSUDA」から「T」を抜いた「MASUDA」は3を二つ重ねた背番号33に決まり、2000安打を目標に掲げた。
■背番号は「33」
まばゆいばかりのフラッシュを浴び、会見場の主役となった。背番号33の真新しいユニホームに袖を通した増田が笑った。「やっとこの日が来た。九州で野球ができるのがうれしい。同じホークスの松田選手のような熱い男。持ち味は声と元気なので、まずはチームを盛り上げられるようにしたい」と所信表明した。
ここからさらに熱さを増した。対戦したい投手には「(横浜高で)1年上の(楽天)藤平投手」と先輩の名前を挙げて持ち上げたかと思えば「ピッチャーライナーを打ちたい」とまさかのオチ。野球選手になっていなかったら…と問われると、2位の高橋礼が「小さい頃は習字をやっていたので書道の先生」と答えた直後に「小さい頃は公文(式教室)に通っていたので公文の先生」と重ねる“天丼”で笑いを誘った。「10年後には松田選手のようなチームリーダーになりたい。熱男になるのでよろしくお願いします」と締めて大きな拍手が湧き起こった。
「自分のキャラをしっかり出せたかなと思う」。そう満足そうに振り返った18歳の姿は、工藤監督も頼もしかったようだ。「今年の新人はキャラが濃い人が多いなと思った。プロはプレーを覚えてもらうことも大事だけど、松田選手のようにキャラも大事。自分のキャラをつくっていってほしい」と“熱男”の後継者としても期待を寄せた。
■内野手登録に
キャラづくりは強豪校で培った能力の一つだ。「自分を出していかないといけないと思った。まずは監督やコーチに覚えてもらうため元気を出した」。この日の会見に際しても事前に問答を想定。「今日はたまたまひらめいた。いつもは外しているんで」とちゃめっ気たっぷりに舌を出した。
もちろんプレーでも目立つ。「目標は2000安打」と大きな数字を掲げた。ドラフト指名時の球団資料では外野手だったが、この日は内野手で発表。「サードで飯を食っていく。もう外野の練習は一切やっていない」。松田が守る三塁の後継候補として、既に内野手用グラブを入手し内野の練習に取り組んでいる。
まずは“つかみ”に成功した新入団の支配下選手で唯一の野手。「熱男」の継承については「おこがましい」としながらも「(松田に)認めてもらい使えと言われるような選手になりたい。『熱男』じゃなくて『増男』にしたいな」とアニメ「サザエさん」のマスオさんもえ~っ!?と驚きそうな野望を口にした。高校通算33本塁打で背番号33。背番号3の熱男を受け継ぐ増男が輝けば、日本一軍団はますます熱くなる。 (小畑大悟)

Capcom Announces Devil May Cry HD Collection, Coming On March 13

0

Capcom has announced that a Devil May Cry HD Collection will be coming for the Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC on March 13 of next year.
Capcom has announced that it will be releasing a Devil May Cry HD Collection to the Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC next year on March 13. The collection will include Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 2, and Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition, and will sell for $29.99 both digitally and in retail.
Devil May Cry is seen as one of the best action games ever, with tight combat and a good story to go along with it. Players take on the role of Dante, a white-haired demon hunter whose twin pistols and big sword will carry you through the entire game as he fights to save the world from demons and his evil twin brother, Vergil.
While the games are all highly regarded in general, Devil May Cry 3 is the one that most people remember, but with the Devil May Cry HD Collection, you’ll be able to experience the entire series on whatever console you want. And when Capcom says HD, they mean it. In addition to upgraded visuals, players will also be able to run the games at a smooth 60 frames per second framerate.
There hasn’t been a Devil May Cry game since DMC: Devil May Cry came out back in 2013, which got a good bit of criticism at first for redesigning Dante to look more like a teen punk (Capcom and developer Ninja Theory even included a joke where 2013 Dante wears a white wig and snarks about it). However, the game sold fairly well and got positive reviews.
That hasn’t stopped Capcom from using the original Dante in all of their other stuff, however, such as in the Marvel vs Capcom games where he remains white-haired.
So, if you want to play a challenging and fast-paced action game, be on the lookout for when the Devil May Cry HD Collection releases on Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC on March 13 of next year.

N. Korea says US threats make war unavoidable

0

SEOUL • Large military drills being carried out by the United States and South Korea, and US threats of a preemptive war against Pyongyang have made the outbreak of war on the Korean peninsula « an established fact », North Korea’s foreign ministry said..
SEOUL • Large military drills being carried out by the United States and South Korea, and US threats of a preemptive war against Pyongyang have made the outbreak of war on the Korean peninsula « an established fact », North Korea’s foreign ministry said.
A spokesman for the North’s foreign ministry also blamed « confrontational warmongering » remarks by US officials for pushing the peninsula to the brink of war.
« We do not wish for a war but shall not hide from it, » the spokesman said late on Wednesday in a statement carried by North Korea’s official KCNA news agency.
China called for « calm and restraint » yesterday. « The outbreak of war is not in any side’s interest. The ones that will suffer the most are ordinary people, » said Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang in a statement.
Tensions on the Korean peninsula have risen markedly in recent months after North Korea’s latest missile and nuclear tests, conducted in defiance of United Nations Security Council resolutions and international condemnation.
On Wednesday, a US B-1B bomber flew from the Pacific US-administered territory of Guam to join the exercises, which will run until today.
The flights by the B-1B, one of the US’ largest strike aircraft, have played a leading role in Washington’s attempts to increase pressure on North Korea to abandon its weapons programmes.
In September, B-1Bs were among a formation of US military aircraft that flew further north up North Korea’s coast than at any time in the past 17 years, according to the US Pacific Command.
That prompted North Korea’s Foreign Minister, Mr Ri Yong Ho, to warn that the North could shoot down the US bombers even if they did not enter North Korean airspace.
« B1-B bombers have been regularly dispatched to the Korean peninsula over the past years; however, it seems that the US Air Force might have enhanced its training to better prepare for actual warfare, » said Mr Yang Uk, a senior fellow at the Korea Defence and Security Forum.
While B-1Bs are no longer equipped to carry nuclear weapons of their own, they would be key to any strike targeting major North Korean facilities, he said.
White House National Security Adviser H. R. McMaster said at the weekend that the possibility of war with North Korea was « increasing every day ».
The rising tensions coincide with a rare visit to the isolated North by the UN’s political affairs chief Jeffrey Feltman this week, the highest-level UN official to visit North Korea since 2012.

Fußball: Cristiano Ronaldo gewinnt erneut Ballon d'Or

0

Stürmerstar Cristiano Ronaldo ist bei der von der FIFA unabhängigen Wahl von ‘France Football’ zum fünften Mal zum Weltfußballer gekrönt worden.
Paris (dpa) – Stürmerstar Cristiano Ronaldo ist bei der von der FIFA unabhängigen Wahl von « France Football » zum fünften Mal zum Weltfußballer gekrönt worden.
Der Portugiese vom Champions-League-Sieger und spanischen Meister Real Madrid entschied die Abstimmung unter ausgewählten Journalisten für sich. In der Auswahl der letzten Drei waren auch sein Dauerrivale Lionel Messi aus Argentinien und Neymar aus Brasilien. Der 32-jährige Ronaldo nahm die Auszeichnung der französischen Fachzeitschrift bei einer Gala auf dem Pariser Eiffelturm in Empfang.
Er hatte den Ballon d’Or zuvor bereits 2008,2013,2014 und 2016 erhalten. Mit seinem Sieg in diesem Jahr zog er mit Messi vom FC Barcelona gleich, der ebenfalls schon fünf Mal den Goldenen Ball erhalten hatte. Als bester Deutscher landete Toni Kroos von Real Madrid auf Rang 17, der Münchener Mats Hummels wurde 27. Bester Bundesliga-Profi war Bayern Münchens polnischer Stürmer Robert Lewandowski als Neunter.
Seit 2016 küren « France Football » und die FIFA den besten Fußballer des Jahres nicht mehr gemeinsam. Der Weltverband veranstaltet – wie zwischen 1991 und 2009 – wieder eine eigene Wahl. « France Football » vergibt den Ballon d’Or bereits seit 1956. An der Wahl der Wochenzeitschrift nahmen nur ausgewählte Journalisten aus aller Welt teil.
Ronaldo hatte im Oktober auch die offizielle Weltfußballer-Wahl der FIFA vor Neymar und Messi gewonnen. Bei dieser Abstimmung waren die Kapitäne und Cheftrainer von Nationalteams, Medienvertreter und Fans befragt worden.

With award season heating up, here’s a look at some local contenders.

The 2018 Academy Awards are still months away, scheduled to be handed out on March 4. But don’t think for a moment that Oscar campaigns aren’t already in full swing.
With critics’ groups already naming their favorite films of the year, and a full slate of pre-Oscar award shows about to start flooding the airwaves, this year’s award season is already well underway.
That being said, while the Louisiana film industry hasn’t been as busy this past year as in previous years, there are enough locally connected projects to give New Orleanians a rooting interest in this year’s race to the red carpet.
Here’s a look at locally linked films, filmmakers and performers to keep an eye on as award season rolls on:
