Bale brilliantly captures the former vice-presidentas bland magnificence in Adam McKayas entertainingly nihilist biopic
The former US vice-president, big oil nabob and waterboarding enthusiast Dick Cheney squats like a latex, inflated toad at the ear of power in this flashy political comedy from Adam McKay. Or perhaps itas truer to say that itas at Cheneyas massive ear where notional power squats in the form of former president George W Bush. This is due to a terrifically and in fact rather scarily plausible impersonation from Christian Bale, whose head has been enlarged to the size of a pale-pink bespectacled beach ball atop a shapeless, conservatively suited fleshmound.
Vice is always entertaining and nihilist, especially when it comes to Cheneyas relationship with his beloved daughter Mary Cheney (Alison Pill), an out gay woman and same-sex marriage campaigner. Cheneyas final treatment of her in this movie made me think of Citizen Kane setting fire to his childhood sled and saying he never liked winter-sports equipment named after flowers anyway. This film has had a surge of awards season love. Could it be that there is a surge of liberal nostalgia for a time when Republican bad guys, however horrible, were at least smart and rational people who had the good taste to stay out of the limelight personally, and you sort of knew where you stood with them?

Theresa May has three objectives. The first is to remain prime minister. The second is to get a parliamentary majority for her withdrawal agreement made with the European Union. The third is to fulfil the first two objectives without splitting the Conservative party. She is unlikely to succeed. The reason rests with the principal opponents in her own party: those Tory MPs who want a second referendum and those who want a hard Brexit. Mrs May wanted both to act in their narrow self-interest rather than cooperating with each other by simultaneously rejecting her agreement. Her line had been that they must choose from among her deal, no deal, or no Brexit. However, the hardline Brexiters did not think her deal was enough to stop another referendum, while the supporters of another referendum in the Tory party did not see her deal as a way to stop the rightwing absolutists getting a no-deal outcome. Significantly, both wings of the Tory party condemned it as avassalagea. Mrs Mayas failure to win either of these factions to her side has been at the root of her parliamentary troubles.
Things will not improve with her procrastinations. Instead of peeling off internal opponents, she has hardened opposition. Despite claims to the contrary, Brussels has no reason to throw Mrs May a lifeline. Neither will the Labour party. Mrs May yearns for an opposition that would split in the way Labour did in the fractious politics of the early 1970s when Europe divided the left. If only, the prime minister and her allies thought, there were sizable numbers of Labour rebels a 69 rebelled in 1971 a who would back her on the principle of leaving the EU as the referendum of 2016 mandated. It is a sign of how deluded Mrs Mayas team were that they seriously weighed such a rebellion.

After Rain Man was released on 16 December 1988, the whole world knew what aautistic savanta meant. Despite spending years in development hell, and test screenings fostering tepid and confused responses, Rain Man was a runaway success. It swept the Oscars, winning best picture, best original screenplay, best director and best actor for Dustin Hoffmanas portrayal of Raymond Babbitt.
Rain Manas influence on how autism is thought of culturally is incalculable. But an influence, however benign or well-intentioned, can become suffocating if allowed to flourish for too long. What was once liberating can become irritating and constricting: so 30 years after the filmas release, was it a blessing or a curse for the autistic community?

Developments such as no-screw furniture and APS5 bulb fittings are being reported as evidence of an indolent generation. Since when was it bad to make life easier for everyone?
There is a new trend in DIY, known as ado it for mea. This embarrassing sign of the times includes basic maintenance services offered in-store, such as at Halfords, where customers can pay a tradesperson APS5 to change an indicator bulb. It also refers to innovations in self-assembly products, such as Ikeaas wedge dowels, which require no screws or tools. It is always reported in the press as a bad thing, even down to the horrible name. As if ado it yourselfa isnat the rudest phrase in the English language.
This is probably because the change caters to less practically skilled young people, who donat know how to put up shelves, or replace the oscillating mechanism of a spindle sander, because they are too preoccupied with emojis or working longer hours for less money or something. It is another way to bash millennials, who only know how to swipe, not screw. What a persecuted generation. When they boost the economy by creating jobs at Halfords, they are seen as lazy; when they make their own things, whether it is kefir or artisanal spoons or bad facial hair, these are derided for being affectations.

Jakelin became seriously ill while being bussed to a detention center located about 90 miles from the New Mexican desert where she and her father were picked up. US officials have blamed Jakelinas father, insisting that Jakelin had not had food or water for days when she arrived and that Jakelinas father signed a form asserting she was healthy when she arrived.
Jakelinas father has insisted that this is false a that his daughter had been eating and drinking, that they hadnat undertaken the kind of long desert crossing portrayed in the press, and that the form the US cites was in English, a language he does not speak.

Offering a list of 30 proposals, rather than another yes/no vote, would grant citizens a more meaningful say on Brexit
Of course, there is much to be said for a second referendum. It is now clear that Britainas most colossal decision in a century was taken after a campaign marred by lies, personal ambition and possible Russian manipulation. Meanwhile, new facts have emerged about the cost and consequences of leaving. If the facts have changed, minds may have too, right?
Yet there are very good reasons not to go down this route, too. There is probably no better way to anger people than by suggesting that their first vote was OK, but not quite good enough. A referendum that welcomes any outcome, as long as it is ayesa, would be deeply problematic. How democratic is it to ask the public to revise their opinion until it satisfies the elite? A second referendum sounds like the best way to undermine trust even more, divide the nation even further and risk another dirty campaign.

The Ireland wing on his memorable try against New Zealand, his World Cup ambitions and talking to prisoners at Northern Irelandas highest security prison
Jacob Stockdale might be the deadliest finisher in European rugby but he reflects on his remarkable year with a light touch. The Ulster winger was the player of the tournament while setting a Six Nations record by scoring seven tries as Ireland sealed the grand slam. Stockdale also made the difference with the only try of the game when Ireland beat New Zealand last month to complete a year in which they could claim to be the best side in the world.
Stockdale has already told me about going into jail with his father, the chaplain at Maghaberry prison in Belfast, so he could talk to inmates who have been locked up after committing violent crimes. He has also confirmed his love for Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan and proved himself an assured 22-year-old who is different to many of his contemporaries. It is striking that, before we discuss his try against the All Blacks, Stockdale has a laugh about himself as he remembers missing the first time Ireland beat New Zealand a in a momentous match in Chicago in November 2016.

Campaigners say they will force governments to act after lack of progress at UN summit
Civil society groups have pledged growing international protests to drive rapid action on global warming after the UN climate summit in Poland.
The summit agreed rules for implementing the 2015 Paris agreement, which aims to keep global warming as close to 1.5C (2.7F) as possible, but it made little progress in increasing governmentsa commitments to cut emissions. The world remains on track for 3C of warming, which scientists says will bring catastrophic extreme weather.

Customers who visit stores only to research their online purchases are the biggest threat to the industry a and booksellers are taking a stand
Of all the insults that booksellers stomach, the most awful is the newest. Gone are the days when it was someone shoving a book down their pants or defecating in the travel aisle that made your afternoon that little bit bleaker. Now it is ashowroominga: when customers go to physical shops only to research purchases they will make online. This is a particular bugbear of the booksellers who have been engaged in a David and Goliath battle with online retailers for the past decade.
Last weekend, Fountain Bookstore in Richmond, Virginia, tweeted a rebuke of the apeople taking pictures of books and buying them from #Amazon in the store and even bragging about ita: aThis is not OK, people. Find it here. Buy it here. Keep us here. That is all.a The tweet, by the shopas owner, Kelly Justice, has been liked 40,000 times and was met with support from booksellers around the world. But among customers, the conversation was divided between those who recognised the rudeness of the act and those who felt it was legitimate.

The singer Nancy Wilson, who has died aged 81, did not consider herself a jazz vocalist a though many others did, including the Grammy awards judges (she won three), and such jazz-rooted playing partners as the saxophonist Cannonball Adderley and the pianists George Shearing and Hank Jones. Wilson preferred to call herself a asong stylista a disinclined to mimic the byzantine lines of jazz instrumentals or turn famous lyrics into wordless improvisations as her vocal contemporaries Ella Fitzgerald or Betty Carter would do, while still applying a discreetly audacious jazz sensibility to all kinds of songs. Without apparent effort, she could make the most widely covered material seem to have been written just for her.
Wilson was an admirer of the hit-making 1950s singer Dinah Washington, a gospel-raised artist at ease with R&B, blues, country music and jazz, and she was similarly gifted with tellingly precise intonation, a vivid tonal palette, and the broadmindedness to cross the tracks from genre musics to mainstream pop. She also admired the star singer-pianist Nat King Cole, for his hip jazz-honed timing and impeccable handling of lyrics.

While that was also a theme in this poetically elusive, 80-minute new play, it was not the only one.

She started exploring a different kind of existence by volunteering on local farms.

Today, she has it. Whitehurst grows a wide array of produce on Owlas Nest Farm, set on a few acres in Upper Marlboro, Maryland (she bought it from that same farmer). Whitehurst grows sweet potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and squash a everything is handpicked. She also provides greens to a local pizza kitchen which was recently named one of the best new restaurants in the country.

Bale brilliantly captures the former vice-presidentas bland magnificence in Adam McKayas entertainingly nihilist biopic
The former US vice-president, big oil nabob and waterboarding enthusiast Dick Cheney squats like a latex, inflated toad at the ear of power in this flashy political comedy from Adam McKay. Or perhaps itas truer to say that itas at Cheneyas massive ear where notional power squats in the form of former president George W Bush. This is due to a terrifically and in fact rather scarily plausible impersonation from Christian Bale, whose head has been enlarged to the size of a pale-pink bespectacled beach ball atop a shapeless, conservatively suited fleshmound.
Vice is always entertaining and nihilist, especially when it comes to Cheneyas relationship with his beloved daughter Mary Cheney (Alison Pill), an out gay woman and same-sex marriage campaigner. Cheneyas final treatment of her in this movie made me think of Citizen Kane setting fire to his childhood sled and saying he never liked winter-sports equipment named after flowers anyway. This film has had a surge of awards season love. Could it be that there is a surge of liberal nostalgia for a time when Republican bad guys, however horrible, were at least smart and rational people who had the good taste to stay out of the limelight personally, and you sort of knew where you stood with them?

Joe Flacco days as the Ravensa starting quarterback are over, and his replacement promises an exciting future
Apparently, there will soon be no more debates in Baltimore about whether quarterback Joe Flacco is aelitea or not. Even though he has recovered from the hip injury that pressed first-round draft pick Lamar Jackson into starting action, the Ravens decided to stick with Jackson for Sundayas 20-12 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The move probably means the end of Flaccoas time in Baltimore.
With the win, the Ravens improved their record to 4-1 with Jackson as the starter after beginning the season 4-5 under Flacco. With their 8-6 record, Baltimore remain alive in the postseason hunt, something that seemed unlikely as they struggled early in the season. Considering their current hot streak, Baltimore would have been foolish not to stick with Jackson, who not only is the clear quarterback of the future but is helping his team win games right now.

Rookie running back Jaylen Samuels, making his second start in place of injured James Conner, ran for a career-high 142 yards and made a critical third-down reception in the fourth quarter as Pittsburgh snapped a three-game losing streak by holding off the New England 17-10 on Sunday.
Ben Roethlisberger threw for 235 yards with two first-half touchdowns and two interceptions as the Steelers (8-5-1) remained in front of Baltimore in the AFC North with two weeks to go in the season. Chris Boswell, who has struggled so badly this season the team held open tryouts during the week, atoned for a 32-yard miss in the third quarter by drilling a 48-yarder with 2:30 remaining. Pittsburghas defense, which let fourth-quarter leads slip away each of the last two games, made it stand. The Patriots (9-5) missed a chance to clinch their 10th straight AFC East title when Bradyas pass into the end zone for Julian Edelman was knocked down by Pittsburghas Morgan Burnett.

They had more leeway at Brighton with a two-goal cushion established but still ended a contest, in which they had been utterly dominant, heaving to repel Albionas late flurry of attacks. Every long ball suddenly seemed a threat, every set piece a route to parity. It ensured what had been an impressive display felt rather undermined at the death. aWe are a danger to ourselves,a admitted the Italian. It is affecting some more than others in their ranks, with Marcos Alonsoas early-season composure having evaporated of late.

The legal drama was once the cream of the soapy drama crop. But as the familiar faces began to disappear from the series, viewers soon followed suit
Lift manufacturers across the globe would probably wish me to point out that it is impossible to fall down a lift shaft in the manner in which Rosalind Shays meets her spagbol end, halfway through season five of mid-80s legal drama LA Law.

Still, why let a few engineers spitting out their tea stop one of the greatest write-outs in primetime history?
Over five seasons, Rosalind Shays (played by Diana Muldaur) had become the one whom people loved to hate. Stroppy, manipulative, icy, queen bitch, but always getting her mark. This truculent antagonist had bedded affable dad figure Leland McKenzie in another superb twist, elbowed her way to becoming a partner, then turned round and sued the law firm for sexual discrimination. What a cow! Yet her end a failing to look before she enters a lift a was so chillingly random that it rendered viewers sympathetic. What had we done? Wead killed her. Wead murdered her with our hate.

Politics were in evidence this year and when they did arrive, they had more to do with questions of power, gender, sexuality and identity inspired by the #MeToo movement. Not that #MeToo meant a real upswing in plays written or directed by women. The Great White Way continues to be very white and very male.

Moving, downsizing, long-term renovations, deceased estates and divorce are all factors in the relentlessly increasing demand for off-site storage
About once every six weeks I go to my least happy place. Itas a massive warehouse in the industrial back blocks of Port Kembla, near Wollongong in New South Wales, housing a storage facility called Super Easy Storage. Because it is a no-frills operation, it does not offer 24-hour access like the more upmarket companies do, so I have to call ahead to say I am coming, giving a minimum of three daysa notice so they can arrange to make our plywood crates available, shifting them to ground level from towering stacks that stretch in an endless cubist landscape of anonymous geometry.
The crates (which Super Easy calls modules or pods to make them sound groovier) contain the possessions my mother has brought with her as part of her decision to relocate to Australia from the UK after 60 years and live with us. A brutal cull reduced her possessions by two thirds, but she still brought 2,000 cookbooks, as well as a vast trilingual general library, a cumbersome early-model knitting machine she has not used in a decade but cannot bear to part with, extravagant quantities of china, canteens of cutlery, a battery of professional cookware sufficient to equip a small restaurant, enough fabric to open a shop, a collection of vintage luxury-brand handbags, the wardrobe of Marie Antoinette and all her furniture. Many pieces are fragile, obsolete, or of little value, except of the sentimental kind.
