Paul Ryan says he"ll vote for Trump

A united GOP front? Paul Ryan says he will vote for Trump

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis., ended a monthlong holdout of formally backing his partys presumptive presidential nominee: Donald Trump.

On Thursday, he penned a guest column for his hometown newspaper in which he trumpeted the controversial real-estate mogul as someone who could support the speakers conservative agenda.

Its a question of how to move ahead on the ideas that I and my House colleagues have invested so much in through the years. Its not just a choice of two people, but of two visions for America, Ryan wrote, citing the bold policy agenda that he will begin rolling out next week and contrasting that with Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump can help us make it a reality.

Ryan, who four weeks ago declared he was not there yet and questioned whether Trump was even conservative, became the last senior Republican congressional leader to back the controversial businessmans candidacy. While the speaker did not use the word endorse, his column left no doubt where he stood after speaking at great length with Trump since he initially declared his hesitation with the candidacy.

Through these conversations, I feel confident he would help us turn the ideas in this agenda into laws to help improve peoples lives. Thats why Ill be voting for him this fall, Ryan wrote.

Initially, the speaker, who likes to call himself a policy guy and a movement conservative, did not agree with Trumps positions on key policy planks of mainstream Republicans of the past 40 years, including a free trade agenda and the effort to rein in federal spending on entitlements. Those issues were the hallmark of Ryans early congressional career and Trump stands squarely against them.

Additionally, Trumps proposals to ban all Muslim travel into the United States and his campaigns tenor in terms of comments regarding minorities, women and the disabled gave Ryan pause.

Those concerns appear to remain, and Ryan vowed to speak out against the presidential candidate if he crosses lines again.

Its no secret that he and I have our differences. I wont pretend otherwise. And when I feel the need to, Ill continue to speak my mind. But the reality is, on the issues that make up our agenda, we have more common ground than disagreement, he wrote.

Donald Trump Gave Conflicting Answers About Trump University Hiring

Destiny "ABC"s of Control" - The Dream Team (Funny Gaming Moments)

In a 2013 interview with ABC News and a deposition last December, Donald Trump offered very different answers about how involved he was with hiring at his now-closed Trump University.

The seminar program is the subject of three pending legal cases in California and New York accusing Trump University of being a sham.

During the 2013 interview, ABC News" George Stephanopoulos asked Trump if he "handpicked the instructors" for the seminar program.

"I looked at every resume. I met with some people," he said. "I didn"t meet with everybody. It"s not my main business. I did this to help people."

But as first reported by Yahoo News" Michael Isakoff, during a December 2015 deposition for one of the pending cases, Trump changed his tune.

"I don"t know the people. I wasn"t running it. I don"t know the people," Trump responded when asked who the Trump University instructors were and whether they were qualified. "I don"t know that because I was not running it. I don"t know who the people are."

Later in that deposition, he was asked, "You didn"t personally select these instructors, correct?" Trump responded, "No." Asked again by counsel, "That"s correct?" He responded, "That is correct."

In another deposition, January of this year, Trump gave another answer regarding the hiring. "I see resumes, but mostly that was up to Michael Sexton, who was the president who ran Trump University."

ABC News sent the Trump campaign and the Trump Organization a list of questions on Wednesday asking again about the hiring of those instructors and the level of Trump"s involvement.

"The court"s order unsealing documents has no bearing on the merits of Trump University"s case. Much of the unsealed evidence, including declarations and surveys from former Trump University students, demonstrates the high level of satisfaction from students and that Trump University taught valuable real estate information. Trump University"s sales tactics are commonplace no different than other companies in the industry. Trump University looks forward to using this evidence, along with much more, to win when the case is brought before a jury," the Trump Organization told ABC in a statement Wednesday.

On "Good Morning America" Thursday, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who is leading one of the pending cases against Trump University, called it "a fraud from beginning to end."

"We have laws against running an illegal, unlicensed university. This never was a university. The fraud started with the name of the organization," he said.

Those discrepancies in Trump"s accounts aren"t the only ones. His comments in the public arena, on several occasions, differ from what he said under oath.

In interviews and statements, Trump has boasted that he has "one of the all-time great memories." He told The Hollywood Reporter just last week, "I have one of the great memories of all time."

In a promotional video for Trump University, Trump said of the program"s instructors, "We are going to have the best of the best ... and these people that are handpicked by me."

However, during the December deposition, he repeatedly said he could not remember details about hiring decisions. When asked if he could remember a single instructor, Trump responded, "You"d have to give me a list. You"d have to show me the list. I actually went I would go and just walk in and just stand in the back of the room on occasion just to see how they were doing. But it"s been so many years, I wouldn"t be able to do that."

When given the name Johnny Harris and asked if the person was a student, an instructor or neither, Trump responded, "Too many years." Given three other names, he said, "It sounds very familiar. Names the names sound familiar. Just too many years."

A point on which he has been consistent: that he never wanted to settle the case.

"I actually thought that people were very happy at the school. I was very surprised. That"s why I didn"t settle this case, which I could have settled very easily a long time ago," he said during the deposition.

And in the 2013 interview with Stephanopoulos, Trump said, "I could have settled this very easily with them. They wanted to settle it. I didn"t want ... no, I don"t want to settle this at all."

However, Schneiderman, speaking on MSNBC Thursday morning, disputed that Trump"s legal team never offered to settle.

"He did offer to settle," Schneiderman said. "He settles cases all the time."

ABC News" Chris Donovan contributed to this report.

I Don"t Care About Frank Ocean or His Sophomore Album That Will (Probably) Never Be Released

Frank Ocean - Thinkin Bout You (Live on SNL)

In 2012, at a time when many felt as if R&B had fallen off, Frank Ocean was our savior. Channel Orange felt like love on a warm, summer day. Not only was the music on point, but it was different and inclusive.

Revealing his first love with a man and lyrics such as Youre running through my mind, boy captured the music worlds attention.I get it. I will give it credit for being a good, creative and artistically well-put-together studio-debut album. But I wont give it credit for being good enough to become a four-year member of the Where is Frank Ocean? movement.

Frank Ocean did not disappear. He continues to make music while leading people to believe he is actually going to drop another album of his own, and soon. Hes been doing this since 2013.

Im, like, 10, 11 songs into this next thing. Its another cohesive thing bordering on a concept album again,he shared on Zane Lowes BBC radio show.

Oh, and then there was 2014. Im opening up for Outkast this summer at Pemberton, so I might skip on Coachella to stay in the groove and finish this b***h, Ocean exclaimed on his Tumblr in reference to his album.

Then 2015 rolled around. Fans almost made it to the Promised Land, getting a step closer with what they thought was an album title, Boys Dont Cry, and a release date slated for July. Well, July came with no Boys Dont Cry in sight. How surprising.

And now here we are in 2016. Malay, the man who produced much of Oceans first and only album, recently did an interview with Pitchfork alluding to the mystery album dropping: Maybe.

It could be tomorrow well, not tomorrow, but maybe a month, Malay said. Weve all been working hard. Hes been working super hard. Im excited for everyone to hear it. I think people are going to be pleasantly surprised, for sure.

It is four years later and I still give zero fks about his next album.

Lotte Reiniger, animation pioneer, predated Walt Disney by more than a decade

Lotte Reiniger Google Doodle Jesus Open Door WW3 Illuminati Freemason Symbolism

Long before Frozen and Zootopia topped the box offices, filmmaker Lotte Reiniger commemorated in today"s Google Doodle released the The Adventures of Prince Achmed in 1926, the first full-length animated film.

It was a version of The Arabian Nights; the 65-minute feature tells the story of a young prince who foils the plans of an evil sorcerer and falls in love with a beautiful princess to the backdrop of an epic battle between good and bad. Even in 1926, it was a classic fairy tale but one that marked a period of innovation in animated film.

Reiniger pioneered silhouette animation: Hand-making detailed black cardboard cutouts put together with wire hinges, she would bring her puppets to life by capturing small movements frame by frame on a multi-plane camera with a strong backlight. It took Reiniger, and her partner Charles Koch,three years and 96,000 frames to make The Adventures of Prince Achmed.

When it was released, the film was so unprecedented "no theatre dared show it," Reiniger wrote. Nowadays, a color restoration of the film continues to circulate:

Ninety years later, Reiniger, who would have turned 117 today, still carries a strong legacy among animators, even in movies like Harry Potter.

Reiniger was a self-made wartime artist

Born in Berlin in 1899, Reiniger always knew she was an artist.

"I could cut out silhouettes almost as soon as I could manage to hold a pair of scissors," she wrote. "I could paint, too, and read and recite; but these things did not surprise anyone very much. But everybody was astonished about the scissor cuts."

Reiniger originally intended to become an actress, but as a drama student, her talents were quickly noticed. She was commissioned to create the titles for films, and after learning stop-motion animation from her colleagues, she put her silhouettes at the heart of the films.

But her film career was marked by periods of war. Between attempts to escape the prospect of World War II in the 1930s, Reiniger and Koch made their films between London and Berlin. With every move, some work was left behind, until the two were eventually granted asylum in England. The original of The Adventures of Prince Achmed was destroyed in the Battle of Berlin in 1945.

Over the years Reiniger and Koch developed a large portfolio of animated shorts. Taking from the most familiar fairy tales, like Cinderella and Hansel and Gretel, Reiniger would bring the stories to life with intricate cutouts.

She tackled the stories of Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm. Her films were silent, with German-language frames and fitted with orchestral sound tracks.

Reiniger"s work had an immediate and direct influence on filmmakers around the world, also impacted by the time of war. It was a golden era of animation: What was once seen as entertainment for children quickly evolved into wartime animations and war propaganda videos with adult audiences.

Shortly after the The Adventures of Achmed, Japanese filmmakers began using silhouette animation, a technique later used in the 1943 animated film Momotaro no Umiwashi, a naval-themed feature. In the United States, with a vault full of wartime animation, Walt Disney studios announced its first feature-length animation, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, in 1934, eight years after Reiniger"s film debuted.

Reiniger"s legacy endures today, even in Harry Potter

Reiniger"s technique has proved to be timeless. The artistry of the elaborate cutouts is an aesthetic modern-day filmmakers and TV showrunners still strive for. Notable series like South Park have used actual paper cutouts to create flat characters. (South Park used the technique in its first episode before switching to animation software.)

In big blockbuster films like the Harry Potter series, Reiniger continues to inspire.

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1, the producers invoked her silhouette style to animate "The Tale of the Three Brothers":

"One of the things that got me excited about it in the early stages was the question of what it should look like," animation supervisor Dale Newton said. "We knew it was going to be stylised, but not exactly how. The producers came along with the suggestion of creating something in the vein of Lotte Reiniger. ... What we got out of that was a certain simplicity and naivety. We knew it had to be told very graphically with bold silhouettes. But Ben and I were keen to make sure it wasnt only that, that there was something else we could add."

You can see what they came up with here:

Wirbel um Alexandria: 13-jhriger Schler schwngert Lehrerin nun ist sie abgetaucht

fotos de Alexandria Vera la sexy profesora que se metió con alumno de 13 años

Houston -

Skandal an einer Schule in Houston (Texas). Lehrerin Alexandria Vera ist untergetaucht und wird per Haftbefehl gesucht.

Bei einer Vernehmung vor wenigen Tagen hatte die 24-Jhrige nicht nur gestanden, ber Monate ein Liebesverhltnis mit einem Schler gehabt zu haben. Sondern auch, dass sie von ihm schwanger geworden ist. Der Schler war zu dem Zeitpunkt 13 Jahre alt.

Alles sei einvernehmlich geschehen, hatte Alexandria Vera spter behauptet. Auch die Eltern des Jungen htten von der Affre gewusst. Sie htten zuletzt sogar erlaubt, dass ihr Sohn bei der Englischlehrerin bernachtete.

Damit Mitschler und auch die Vorgesetzten an der Stovall Middle School keinen Wind von der Sache bekamen, hatte Vera ihn nach eigener Aussage immer morgens zum Elternhaus zurckgefahren, so dass er den Schulbus mit seinen Mitschlern nicht verpasste, heit im polizeilichen Ermittlungsprotokoll, aus dem die Zeitung Houston Chronicle zitiert.

Trotzdem war die Sache aufgeflogen und zunchst eine interne Untersuchung durch die Schule angelaufen. Als dann auch noch Vertreter des Jugendamtes ttig wurden, und sie in der Schule zum Verhr baten, hatte Vera sich nach eigenen Angaben heimlich einer Abtreibung unterzogen, und die Affre abgestritten.

Allerdings ergab die Auswertung ihrer Telefonliste, dass sie nach dem Unterricht fast tglich in ihrer Wohnung zusammen waren. Als die Polizei sie jetzt mit zur Wache nehmen wollte, war ihre Wohnung leer. Alexandria Vera wird wegen Kindesmissbrauchs landesweit gesucht.
