"He just wasn't into it at all," Talbert said, and after a while, he abandoned the films and asked if he could go and play with his LEGOs.<div type="image" title="jingle jangle" height="2400" width="3600" msid="79410891" hostid="261"></div>"As he walked away, I looked at him, I looked at the screen, and I realized he doesn't see himself in the film," Talbert continued. "But this was my childhood because there were no other options for diversity of representation on the screen at the time."He has Black Panther and Miles Morales on his wall. So that's when I thought, it's time to do it, because if my son is experiencing this, how many sons and daughters of color around the world want to see themselves represented as well?"As a result, Talbert decided to write and direct "Jingle Jangle" — Netflix's first original live-action holiday musical — and the film stars a predominantly Black cast including Anika Noni Rose ("The Princess and the Frog"), Forest Whitaker, Keegan-Michael Key, and Phylicia Rashad <a href="https://www.insider.com/phylicia-rashad-netflix-jingle-jangle-harry-potter-2020-11">who Insider spoke with about the project.</a>During the wide-ranging interview, Rashad said that working on the film was a wholly unique experience. "I'd never seen anything like it in my life," she said.Talbert also told IndieWire that he originally approached both Universal and Disney with the film, and they liked the idea but ultimately decided to not moving forward, allowing Netflix to step forward. "Netflix is a global company, so they understand that there are people of color all around the world. They want to reach those people, and so they took a big bet on me," he said. "Now, the path to get it to the stage is obvious, and that's what I am gearing up for: a perennial Broadway production of 'Jingle Jangle.'"Read More: <a href="https://www.insider.com/phylicia-rashad-netflix-jingle-jangle-harry-potter-2020-11">Phylicia Rashad says her new Netflix musical 'Jingle Jangle' is her 'Harry Potter moment'</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/101-best-movies-to-watch-on-netflix-right-now">The 101 best movies to watch on Netflix right now</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/best-movies-to-watch-2017-4">110 movies you need to see in your lifetime</a>

But a sci-fi Bollywood film “2.0,” which just released, is facing resistance from an unusual place. The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), a trade body representing mobile India’s phone makers and mobile operators, wants a ban on the film that stars Bollywood veteran actors <keyword id="16227" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rajnikanth">Rajnikanth</keyword> and Akshay Kumar because it promotes negative attitudes towards mobile phones. COAI has asked India’s Central Board of Film Certification, which regulates India’s films, to revoke its certificate for provoking “obscurantist and anti-scientific attitudes towards the mobile phone, towers, and mobile services, ”The Indian Express <a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/tamil/2-0-mobile-phone-operators-5467801/">reported</a>. In a letter to the board, the trade body reportedly accused the film of promoting ‘defamatory’ content including mentions that mobile phones and mobile towers were harmful for human, birds and the environment. It also reportedly said in a statement that the film’s content may spread misinformation that would create unfounded fear and mass paranoia. It also alleged that it violated many sections of the Indian Penal Code, Mint <a href="https://www.livemint.com/Consumer/r3bf8SS4LYMhfdaIMrj5rN/Rajinikanth-Akshay-Kumar-20-film-movie-screening-trailer.html">reported</a>, citing the statement. The association appeared to have taken issue with Kumar’s character saying in the film’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qOl_7qfPOM">teaser</a> that every person with a cell phone is a ‘murderer.’ The trade association counts Indian mobile service providers Jio, Vodafone-Idea, and Airtel among its members, according to its website.

While the husband in the "La Côte Basque 1965" story manages to hide his thwarted night of passion from his wife by getting the stains out of the sheets, in "Feud," we see Babe walk in on her husband as he's still desperately scrubbing away — and then take care of the sheets herself.<h2>There are conflicting theories on the identity of the woman Bill Paley had an affair with</h2>According to <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2012/12/truman-capote-answered-prayers">Vanity Fair</a>, after the story was published, there was little doubt that the Dillons were supposed to be stand-ins for the real-life Paleys, especially as Capote hadn't attempted to change any of their attributes.However, one thing that wasn't immediately clear was the identity of the other woman, who Capote describes in the story as a "homely beast, legal spouse of a former New York governor."<div type="image" title="Babe Paley (Naomi Watts) in episode 1 of &quot;Feud: Capote vs. The Swans.&quot;" height="798" width="1920" msid="107389056" hostid="261" sizebytes="70720"></div>Leamer's "Capote's Women" theorizes that the woman in question was Marie Harriman, the wife of W.

Chennai, July 5 (): 'Work From Home' due to COVID-19 enforced lockdown norms is seeing a trend of buyers tightening their purse strings and opting for budget friendly residences rather than luxury offerings, city realtors said. Those who earlier preferred 'paying guest' accommodation were increasingly looking at owning an apartment to suit their budget. "What has happened is that the pandemic has opened up a lot of opportunities for developers and the people. Customers have understood the necessity of a home and for developers it has opened up, if not luxury, budget segment residences", Akshaya Homes Ltd founder T Chitty Babu told . He said people have accepted that they live in challenging times and that they need to save money. "Earlier they were stretching their budget for bigger apartments, but are now going in for properties within their budget", he said. The younger generation was moving towards urban locations and giving up the 'paying guest' concept of sharing living space with others he said. "They do not want to live with strangers and this has opened up a lot of opportunities for home buyers. They look at k at making purchases of houses if it suits their budget." Chitty Babu said work from home could have a short-term impact on commercial properties and that companies located located in big complexes may move to smaller places. He said WFH is now not a preferred option as there was no public transport and there is an increase in COVID-18 cases "But if productivity is good, then it is good for employers. At the same time, we have to see about infrastructure...whether there is right Internet bandwidth, connectivity... those things are there" he said. People prefer to buy residential properties like 2.5 bed rooms with additional spaces for work, instead of the earlier 2BHK apartments to make sure they can work from home also if necessity arises, he said. Another city based realtor opined that work from home may impact relationships and office atmosphere. "In today's work from home scenario, relationships are getting destroyed and that is what we are seeing in the internet.. He may be a friend of someone in (social media platform) Facebook. But he does not speak when he sees him in person.this is what is happening", Navin's Managing Director D Kumar said. This work concept has also resulted in human values were also 'taking a beating'and there was a chance of relationships getting destroyed. "You do not come to the office just to sit. A person may work for one company in an office, but tomorrow he may quit and join another company by work from home. How are you going to retain him?", he asked. On new property launches, he said they would definitely get delayed. There was no point in going in for it as existing projects are lying idle, he said. Investments made in these projects would also take a hit, he said. "We have invested in land, salaries, everything...," he said. Olympia Group MD Ajit Kumarsaid WFH would be a 'temporary phenomena' and once the COVID-19 outbreak comes under control, people would start returning to work. "By working from home, the performance of an individual may get impacted. He needs to have an atmosphere and there must be some kind of recreation. WFH cannot substitute a formal office atmosphere, he said Kumar said the company now has four projects in the city and commercial projects may get affected due to the pandemic. "We expect two projects to be completed this year," he said. VIJ APR RAVINDRANATH APR RAVINDRANATH

"The relationship between our countries is based on deeply held values and critical shared interests which I know will be at the heart of your administration."On November 8, Israeli Prime Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released several statements on Twitter, emphasizing his longstanding relationship with Biden."Congratulations Joe Biden and Kamala Harris," <a href="https://twitter.com/netanyahu/status/1325302956363812864">he wrote</a>. "Joe, we've had a long &amp; warm personal relationship for nearly 40 years, and I know you as a great friend of Israel. I look forward to working with both of you to further strengthen the special alliance between the U.S. and Israel."Netanyahu, a close Trump ally, also sent words of praise to the president."Thank you Donald Trump for the friendship you have shown the state of Israel and me personally, for recognizing Jerusalem and the Golan, for standing up to Iran, for the historic peace accords and for bringing the American-Israeli alliance to unprecedented heights," <a href="https://twitter.com/netanyahu/status/1325306327476867078">he tweeted</a>.Prime Minister of Australia Scott Morrison delivered words of support to the new administration."Congratulations to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris - Australia wishes you every success in office," <a href="https://twitter.com/ScottMorrisonMP/status/1325179691284668424">he wrote</a>.

I look forward to working closely together once again to take India-US relations to greater heights."Modi also had a special message for Harris."Heartiest congratulations Kamala Harris!," Modi added.

The sounds of the jungle birds seem louder and the communal dinner table feels longer.The <keyword id="21459" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Resort">resort</keyword>, which typically accommodates 50 people, is empty.The only people left are Bartolo Griffin, his wife, and three children. Griffin is the owner of 22 treehouses tucked in a tropical forest in El Valle, Dominican Republic.On <a href="https://do.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/covid-19-information/">March 19</a>, the Dominican Republic government suspended incoming travelers arriving. The country's borders "effectively closed," and tourists were urged to leave. Griffin's remaining guests caught the last flights out of the country on March 16. But his family of five decided to stay. Griffin, originally from Boise, Idaho, said it wasn't much of a consideration. "It's like literally living in this lost paradise with my kids," he told Insider.<div type="image" title="griffin family portrait" height="3815" width="2707" msid="75453787" hostid="261"></div><h2>Griffin is concerned about his business, but he's trying to appreciate the pause the coronavirus has created</h2>The open-air treehouses sit on stilts with thatched roofs, bright red curtains, and bamboo banisters. Each morning the family wakes up in a king-size bed to the songs of the forest outside."We are just like this little tribe that's living off the jungle," the 44-year-old said. "Starting a new day together has been one of the sweetest things that are there. No pressure to be somewhere."Before the country's lockdown, Griffin would typically be off helping guests, answering calls, and bouncing to wherever and whoever needed his help at the village, where prices start at <a href="https://resnexus.com/resnexus/reservations/lodging/30D959D5-BF1C-40A8-8F3D-E3E6A8DC0C3D?&amp;tabID=1&amp;_ga=2.44844260.1326561971.1588091024-2025788044.158774602487746024">$300 a night</a>.Today they share a similar schedule with many quarantined families around the world, but their backdrop is different.Instead of a suburban backyard with an inflatable pool, the family can walk to a beach or river for a swim.Schoolwork is done in a treehouse while migratory birds chirp in the background.Instead of chicken nuggets for lunch, the family eats sancocho, a traditional soup. <div type="image" title="dominican treehouse village" height="2976" width="3968" msid="75453794" hostid="261"></div>Griffin's three children currently living at the resort have never experienced it deserted. "My kids are on the best staycation that you could ever have," Griffin said. <h2>While the coronavirus pandemic has shifted his family's lives, the lives of Griffin's employees have changed more drastically</h2>The Dominican Tree House Village directly employs 37 people, so when borders closed the business, employees' jobs were at risk.Griffin said he initially put everyone on paid vacation and purchased 3,700 pounds of rice, or 100 pounds for each employee. But he quickly realized that he needed to consider the potential ramifications if the pandemic lasts longer than just a month or two.<div type="image" title="rice dominican treehouse" height="960" width="1280" msid="75453797" hostid="261"></div>His treehouse village would need to adapt.Griffin urged his employees to pitch him agricultural projects that he could help support. "Little by little, they're coming to me with agricultural businesses," he said.Projects, like building a chicken coup, planting 2,000 banana trees, and launching permaculture gardens, are designed for both the immediate and long-term success of the community.These projects, Griffin believes, can support his employees and their families during the pandemic. They'll also be useful when the village is up and running again. <h2>Griffin traces his entrepreneurial drive back to his hometown in Boise, Idaho</h2>Griffin grew up in a poor, Mormon family.His father worked as a sheet metal worker. Each winter there was the risk, and sometimes reality, that his father would be laid off. Without an income, his family would live in a tent. Griffin eventually went on a Mormon mission to Spain. When he came back, he didn't have any financial support, so he started cleaning toilets."If you can sell the Book of Mormon, you can basically sell anything," Griffin said. He started selling his cleaning services to surrounding restaurants and launched a janitorial business. Griffin went on to get married, have four kids, and get divorced. After his divorce, he said, "I just looked at myself and said, 'Well, what do I want for my life?" His answer: build a treehouse village. <div type="image" title="walkway dominican treehouse village" height="3531" width="2832" msid="75453800" hostid="261"></div>Griffin grew up watching Disney movies like "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" and "Mary Poppins," but his favorite was "Swiss Family Robinson."In the movie, the family gets shipwrecked on an island and ends up living in a treehouse.Griffin wanted his own "Swiss Family Robinson" life, but he needed to pick a location. He had his heart set on Costa Rica until his brother urged him to consider the Dominican Republic."He said to me, 'If you don't do anything else for me in your whole life, you've got to at least fly out there to check it out,'" Griffin said. "Two weeks later I jumped on a plane, went down here, and I fell in love with the place."Griffin acquired mosquito and pig-infested land in Samana, Dominican Republic. First, he built a zip line for tourists coming off the cruise ships. That money funneled into his treehouse village.Over two and a half years, he built 22 treehouses and opened the village in 2014. During his time in the Dominican Republic, he remarried and had three more children, which forms the family that now lives with him."We made it into a paradise," he said. Griffin doesn't plan for that paradise to end.Instead, he believes that once <keyword id="6354692" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Travel">travel</keyword> picks up again people will crave experiences like his village."I think when all is said and done, I think this will actually make my business probably better," he said. "People are going to start to move more away from the 'get drunk, all-you-can-eat McDonald's experiences' to wanting something that's unique and special."The Dominican Tree House Village has a motto "to disconnect to reconnect."And while Griffin has followed that sentiment for years now, he's challenged himself even more during this time.<div type="image" title="griffin family portrait horizontal" height="771" width="1029" msid="75453805" hostid="261"></div>His family has created a deeper relationship in quarantine, he told Insider. "It's defined them," he said. "I'm hoping that they look back, and instead of looking at it as a plague and as the end of the world, they saw it as the beginning of the world and as the beginning of a new journey."<ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/mothers-first-international-trip-left-her-on-lockdown-abroad-2020-4">A mother's first international trip left her on lockdown in Montenegro.

What life is like for a family quarantining in an empty treehouse village that usually accommodates 52 people

Visual Information Specialist Jason Johnston/US ArmyAn airman with Special Operations Command Europe, jumps out of a Black Hawk helicopter, 12,000 feet above the Malmsheim Drop Zone, Stuttgart, Germany, August 17, 2016.US Special Operations Command is weighing the use of nutritional supplements or even performance-enhancing drugs to push the abilities and endurance of its forces beyond current human limits, <a href="http://www.defensenews.com/articles/special-operations-command-wants-to-develop-super-soldiers" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">according</a> to a report from Defense News.While special-operations forces already have access to specialized resources, like dietitians and physical therapists, SOCOM is looking to increase their ability to tolerate pain, recover from injuries, and remain physically able in challenging environments."If there are ... different ways of training, different ways of acquiring performance that are non-material, that's preferred but in a lot of cases we've exhausted those areas," Ben Chitty, the senior project manager for biomedical, human performance, and canine portfolios at US SOCOM's Science and Technology office, <a href="http://www.defensenews.com/articles/special-operations-command-wants-to-develop-super-soldiers" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">told Defense News</a>.While Chitty said SOCOM was exploring nutritional supplements, other substances were in consideration as well."For performance enhancing drugs, we'll have to look at the makeup and safety in consultation with our surgeon and the medical folks before making any decisions on it," he <a href="http://www.defensenews.com/articles/special-operations-command-wants-to-develop-super-soldiers" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">told</a> Defense News.One goal of the research to develop what Defense News referred to as "super soldiers" would be to expand troops' ability to operate in places not well suited for humans - high altitudes or underwater in particular.<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/dvids/3678999919/in/photolist-6B6Qv6-8vLz1u-pMNUYk-8R25Gq-iuKxNW-8vLj6m-7TMKWo-d4kLXq-d4kKHC-9FXYWi-e7nMPj-9E14DZ-8iCJnk-8iCJqK-5dv1fh-8iFYP7-9E3WHj-9E15o8-bs5uZq-d4kKsN-5K98QQ-d4kLdh-d4kL1d-d4kKQq-d4kMzE-5e1tBS-9pDs1Z-dd1Dpz-bEBHvX-8U9AMP-quYY8Z-9GDQTw-9pDs38-dA3Zbj-aRkV3-ocw5BL-9rapTQ-8vLPQq-9qwxjt-8vLixL-5gUyRQ-9Efybv-GkWfd-8vLgQG-9qwxqR-8vLD9G-8vHLWx-9ZkitX-8vLPiU-8vHofp">dvids/Flickr</a>A Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL student wades ashore on San Clemente Island during an over-the-beach exercise, designed to prepare BUD/S students for missions that begin in the ocean and move to land, June 24, 2009.While the evaluation process would emphasize safety - "We're not cutting any corners," Chitty said - any proposal to deploy pharmaceutical substances among special-operations troops is likely to draw scrutiny, especially in light of recent revelations about a what Capt. Jamie Sands, the commander of 900 Navy SEALs on the East Coast, called a "<a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/navy-seal-drug-use-staggering-investigation-finds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">staggering</a>" number of drug cases among Navy Special Operations units.Three active and retired SEALs spoke to CBS in April, with their faces masked and voices disguised, telling the network that illicit drug use among SEAL units was increasing."People that we know of, that we hear about have tested positive for cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, marijuana, ecstasy," <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/navy-seal-drug-use-staggering-investigation-finds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">one of them said</a>.Another active-duty SEAL described by the CBS report tested positive once in the past for cocaine, and, during a new round of testing prompted by a drug-related safety stand-down in December, <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/navy-seal-drug-use-staggering-investigation-finds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">tested positive again</a> for prescription drugs. He was being removed from SEAL teams.While Navy SEALs are supposed to undergo regular drug tests, that doesn't always apply when they are away from their home bases. As demand for SEALs in operations around the world has grown, they have spent an increasing amount of time deployed.<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/usnavy/6555624431/">Flickr/usnavy</a>US Navy SEALs jump from a CH-46E Sea Knight helicopter during training near Fort Pickett, Virginia, December 20, 2011.Three active-duty SEALs <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/navy-seal-drug-use-staggering-investigation-finds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">told CBS</a> they hadn't been tested in years. Sands, for his part, announced in December that SEALs would start undergoing tests while deployed.While Chitty did not mention the frequency of operations - and the physical and emotional wear and tear related to it - as a reason for pursuing nutritional and pharmaceutical supplements, other special-operations officials have warned that their forces are being depleted by an overreliance on them."We've been operating at such a high [operational] tempo for the last decade plus, and with budgets going down, what we've had to do is essentially ... eat our young, so to speak," Theresa Whelan, principal deputy assistant secretary of defense for special operations, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/special-forces-groups-problems-2017-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">said</a> during a House Armed Services Committee session this month.Special-operations commanders, while acknowledging the strain increased operations have put on their units, have emphasized that <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/special-forces-groups-problems-2017-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">they are still capable</a> of addressing threats emerging around the world. But, Whelan told Congress, constant readiness has had and will have consequences."We've mortgaged the future in order to facilitate current operations that has impacted readiness and it's also impacted development of force for the future," <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/special-forces-groups-problems-2017-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">she said</a>.
