  • Disney Movie Trivia Questions and Answers From: Conversationstartersworld.Com/Disney-Movie-Trivia
    Disney Movie Trivia Questions and Answers From: conversationstartersworld.com/disney-movie-trivia 1. What are the names of the three good fairies from Sleeping Beauty? Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather The three fairies give Aurora the gift of beauty, the gift of song, and the last gift is to weaken Maleficent’s curse so that Aurora falls into a deep sleep instead of dying. Verna Felton, who is the voice of Flora, is also the voice of the fairy godmother in Cinderella. 2. Who is the only Disney villain to never actually appear onscreen in their respective Disney film? “Man” from Bambi He was voted #20 on the American Film Institute’s list of the of the 100 greatest villains (#1 is Hannibal Lecter). Man was represented in the film by a 3-note motif, which later inspired the 2-note shark theme for Jaws. “Man is in the forest” was a code phrase used by Disney’s employees when Walt Disney was coming down the hallway. 3. What are the names of the two eels who are Ursula’s sidekicks? Flotsam and Jetsam Ah Disney, look at you being educational! Flotsam is floating wreckage of a ship or its cargo (not deliberately thrown overboard). Jetsam is unwanted materials or goods that have been thrown overboard and washed ashore (deliberately thrown overboard to help lighten a ship). The two moray eels each have one yellow eye on opposite sides from each other. They are one of the few Disney villain henchmen who are not portrayed comically or as being inefficient. 4.

  • Chinese Nationalism, Cyber-Populism, and Cross-Strait Relations
    Chinese Nationalism, cyber-populism, and cross-strait relations Ye Weili; Michael Toomey Wenzhou-Kean University THIS IS A PRELIMINARY, INCOMPLETE FIRST DRAFT PREPARED FOR THE 2017 ISA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IN HONG KONG: DO NOT CITE OR CIRCULATE WITHOUT THE AUTHOR’S PERMISSION Abstract: In November 2015, a Taiwanese singer named Chou Tzuyu appeared on a Korean TV show as a member of the pop group ‘Twice’. During the show, she claimed that she was from Taiwan (without mentioning China), and waved the Republic of China flag. Chou was subsequently the recipient of vociferous condemnation from Chinese ‘netizens’, and eventually was compelled to make a public apology for her actions. This apology became the center of an Internet-based dispute between the netizens of mainland China and Taiwan, conducted mainly on the Facebook page of then Taiwanese Presidential candidate, Tsai Yingwen. Subsequently, the tone of this dispute had significant effects on the 2016 Taiwanese general election, with a decisive number of Taiwanese voters switching their support to Tsai. “Cyber-populism”, and the online activities of nationalistic Chinese netizens, are not just limited to the Chou Tzuyu incident. Indeed, Chinese netizens have been vocal in the wake of other international incidents, such as the United Nations Convention ruling on the so-called “Nine-Dash Line” dispute. However, the Chou Tzuyu case was particularly notable for its clearly counterproductive outcome: an argument over the use of Taiwanese symbols of nationalist identity, driven by the identities and objectives of Chinese nationalists, contributed to the electoral success of a pro-Taiwanese independence political party. With this in mind, this paper examines the relationship between Chinese nationalism and cyber-populism, and discusses the effects of this phenomenon on the achievement of China’s stated foreign policy goals.

  • Laugh Your Way to Victory
    CHAPTER V Laugh Your Way to Victory want you to take a moment and play one of my favorite I games. It’s called “Pretend Police.” It’s fun. Here goes. Pretend you’re the police in Ankara, Turkey. A few days ago, security guards in one of the busiest subway stations in town spotted a couple making out on the platform. Strict Muslims, the guards were bugged by such immodest behavior in public, so they did the only thing they could really do, 98 Blueprint for Revolution which was get on the subway’s PA system and ask all passen- gers to behave themselves and stop kissing each other. Be- cause everyone in Ankara has smartphones, this little incident was leaked to the press within minutes; by the afternoon, politicians opposed to the ruling Islamist-based party realized that they had gold on their hands and started encouraging their supporters to stage huge demonstrations to protest this silly anti- smooching bias. This is where you come in. On Sat- urday, the day of the demonstration, you show up in uni- form, baton at hand, ready to keep the peace. Walking into the subway station, you see more than a hundred young men and women chanting anti-government slogans and provoking your colleagues. Someone shoves someone. Someone loses their cool. Soon it’s a full- blown riot. If you’re seriously playing along, it’s probably not hard to figure out what to do. You’re a police officer, and you’ve probably spent a whole week at the academy training for situ- ations just like this.

Emojis have evolved into a primary lexicon for online human trafficking. This coded language has allowed online human traffickers to evade detection and prosecution. Courts and law enforcement are confused by the seemingly innocent use of emojis in advertisements and conversations that have serious human trafficking implications. Now, the code is cracked.
