jili super ace hack Well, if Cinderella is going to leave her telltale shoe behind, it will not be by accident. Deliberately and conspicuously, she places her footsy calling card in front of the smitten Prince. Come find me, she intimates as she makes eye contact with him — it will be worth it. Director Justin Lucero uses swords, cellphones and a twirling disco ball strategically in “Cinderella,” his debut production as artistic director of Theater Latté Da. With costumes that similarly pull from haute couture, protest movements and the abstracted Middle Ages, and with a puppet menagerie of animals, the show at Minneapolis’ Ritz Theater lacks a coherent period or setting. Even so, Lucero’s operatically ambitious take on Rodgers and Hammerstein’s version of the fairy tale is resourceful and brilliant. It’s spare in places — more metaphoric gesture than fleshed out ideas — but that theatrical invention works to encourage our leaning in. Lucero’s smart direction is complemented by Kyle Weiler’s jaunty choreography, a strong shoe game — sometimes the footwear is its own little show — and stellar performances. This “Cinderella” is markedly different from the TV versions it nods to — the 1957 original and the 1997 Whitney Houston and Brandy film. Lucero uses Douglas Carter Beane’s 2013 Broadway update headlined by Burnsville-born and Eagan-raised Laura Osnes and University of Minnesota grad Santino Fontana and includes new-to-the-show songs culled from the Rodgers and Hammerstein catalog. Beane brought in more nakedly social justice themes into the fairy tale kingdom where people are being dispossessed of property. Cinderella and an activist named Jean-Michel (Po Cushman) bring this injustice to the attention of Prince Topher (Theo Janke-Furman). But the regent (Tod Petersen in another standard-bearing turn) has other ideas and plans. At Latté Da, scenic designer Eli Sherlock’s set is a series of minimalist structures. He has created symmetric risers for Wesley Frye’s six-piece orchestra that flanks the main playing space. A series of transformable half-circle contraptions — some suspended in the design, some on the floor — are used to suggest furniture, then horses or whatever. The half-circles nod to the moon, to ticking clocks and to the idea of completion, all of which work thematically with the directorial vision. If “Cinderella” is an artistic statement, it is not just for Lucero. Young and green, title star Nambi Mwassa carries the show on her very capable shoulders. With gorgeous singing, effective acting and a deft balance between confidence and victimization, her Ella literally shines. The fairy tale rags-to-princess character is not defined by what she wears, including a voguish outfit that ultimately showcases her contemporary regality. Instead, Cinderella has an innate goodness and virtue, and on songs such as “In My Own Little Corner” and the duet “Do I Love You Because You’re Beautiful?,” Mwassa imbues her with that deeply felt truth. Janke-Furman similarly does a fine balancing as Topher, showing the prince’s maturation from indecisive, if effective, slayer of dragons to someone who knows, and follows, his own heart. And he’s well matched with Mwassa, with the two delivering a touching “Ten Minutes Ago.” Sally Wingert is devilish in her Prada-like couture created by costume designer Mathew LeFebvre. Delivering with her usual excellence, she, similarly, is surrounded by commendable talent. As mean, vacuous stepsister Charlotte, Hope Nordquist is flawless at the start of the second act, delivering a showstopping version of “Stepsister’s Lament.” Isa Condo-Olvera, as kind stepsister Gabrielle, also is effective, going from glam to drab. Kudos to Carnetha Anthony, the understudy who went on in the role of Crazy Marie. She did not miss a noticeable beat on opening night, shining on “There’s Music in You.” Evan Tyler Wilson is fluidly funny as Lord Pinkleton, gliding in Heelys across the stage. “Cinderella” would be a strong show because of its artful and clever stagecraft. But this holiday production succeeds because it ultimately evokes feeling, a tribute to Lucero, Mwassa and their fairy tale team for sweeping us along with their imaginative dreaming. ‘Cinderella’ Where : Ritz Theater, 345 13th Av.

1 line from Tiger Woods' presser alludes to painful golf yearSampson breaks single-season touchdown record in Vols’ win over UTEP No. 11 Tennessee struggled with UTEP early but rallied in the second quarter en route to a 56-0 win over the Miners. The Vols (9-2) rebounded from their loss at Georgia and now sit one win away from their second 10-win season in the past three years. Tennessee got a boost in its playoffs hopes during the game after Florida defeated No. 9 Ole Miss in The Swamp, which prompted Neyland to be flooded with Gator chomps. A rare sight indeed. Still, head coach Josh Heupel and the Vols aren’t getting too ahead of themselves with a matchup with Vanderbilt coming. Unless the Vols get a chance to host a playoff game, this was the last time that the seniors took the field at Neyland Stadium. This specific group has played a key role in Josh Heupel and Tennessee’s rise near the top of the SEC. “I mean these guys, when I got here, the outside noise around this program was way different than it was when I started,” he said. “And that doesn’t happen because of me. It doesn’t happen simply because of assistant coaches. They’re a huge part of it too. But it’s gotta be from within the locker room. And when a lot of guys left, they chose to stay. “They believe in this program. They wanted to be a part of this program. Believed in me. Trusted enough in me to help build this thing. And it takes a special person to do that, and these guys are special.” Nico Iamaleava led the way, completing 17-of-23 passes for 209 yards and four touchdowns — a career-high for the redshirt freshman. Bru McCoy caught two of those touchdowns in his last regular season game in Neyland — his first two of the season. Tennessee Wide Receiver Bru McCoy (5) celebrates after scoring his first touchdown of the season during the game against the UTEP Miners at Neyland Stadium on November 23, 2024. “ Bru, one of the greatest team guys I’ve ever been around,” Heupel said. “Will do anything for anyone. Will play without the ball in his hands as hard as anybody I’ve been around. Takes great pride in that. There’s been some opportunities and we just hadn’t connected on it. And you watch him after one of those plays, he resets to the next play as well as anybody. Today was cool just to see him connect and go finish on a couple of big plays.” Sampson had a quieter day with just 11 carries but went for 77 yards and a score, picking up another 25 through the air. Freshman Peyton Lewis added 46 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. On defense, James Pearce picked up two sacks. Jermod McCoy and John Slaughter each had picks as well. Boo Carter led the team in tackles with six and also took two punt returns for 56 yards. The Vols were sluggish in the first quarter and only picked up 37 total yards compared to the Miners’ 76. Iamaleava couldn’t settle in and missed a pair of potential touchdown passes to Dont’e Thornton and Bru McCoy. He eventually settled in to open the second quarter with a pair of first-down passes to Sampson along with one to Miles Kitselman and McCoy. Sampson broke the seal with a 14-yard touchdown run. With the score, he broke the program’s single-season touchdown record with his 22nd. On the same play, he also broke the record for points score with 132. Both records were previously held by Gene McEver, who held it for nearly 100 years (1929). It was all Tennessee from there. “Once we started doing the everyday things consistently, all 11, had a really good day,” Heupel said. “Created explosive plays, were efficient in the run game, creating some explosive plays there too. And we were efficient in the red zone, so proud of that. Just settling into the ball game after not our best start.” Iamaleava had a trio of touchdown passes to Squirrel White and Ethan Davis as the Vols scored on four of its final five possessions of the half after punting on its first three. Tennessee Quarterback Nico Iamaleava (8) throws a short pass in the first half of the game against the UTEP Miners at Neyland Stadium on November 23, 2024. Tennessee scored 28 second-quarter points and held the Miners scoreless in the first half. The Vols scored on their fifth straight possession to open the second half as Iamaleava and Sampson set it up with runs of 29 and 13. Iamaleava found McCoy for their second end-zone connection of the afternoon, pushing the Vols’ lead to 35-0. Peyton Lewis then stretched it to 42 with a three-yard touchdown run. UTEP put a respectable drive together and flirted near the red zone, but Pearce picked up his second sack of the day. The Miners were forced to settle for a 52-yard field goal and it bounced out off the crossbar. Iamaleava picked up a pair of chunk plays to Dont’e Thornton and Miles Kitselman before Lewis picked up his second touchdown of the afternoon. Cam Seldon capped off the scoring with his first career touchdown on a three-yard rush with 5:17 remaining. The Vols will travel to Vanderbilt next weekend to conclude the regular season. “The better you play, the more you win, the bigger the games get,” Heupel said. “Doesn’t matter. So for us, this is the next step in our journey. Laser focused (in) how we prepare, how we practice, get ready to go play. I mean, you’re going to have to play well and you need to play well in all three phases in this one.”

Tinubu appoints new CEOs for NUC, NERDC, NEPAD, SMDFRomania's top court annuls first round of presidential vote won by far-right candidateThe world approved a bitterly negotiated climate deal Sunday committing wealthy historic polluters to $300 billion annually for poor and vulnerable nations that had demanded far more to confront the crisis of global warming. After two exhaustive weeks of chaotic bargaining and sleepless nights, nearly 200 nations banged through the contentious finance pact in the early hours beneath a sports stadium roof in Azerbaijan. Nations had struggled to reconcile long-standing divisions over climate finance. Sleep-deprived diplomats, huddled in anxious groups, were still revising the final phrasing on the plenary floor before the deal passed. At points, the talks appeared on the brink of collapse, with developing nations storming out of meetings and threatening to walk away should rich nations not cough up more cash. In the end -- despite repeating that no deal is better than a bad deal -- they did not stand in the way of an agreement, despite it falling well short of what they want. The final deal commits developed nations to pay at least $300 billion a year by 2035 to help developed countries green their economies and prepare for worse disasters. That is up from $100 billion now provided by wealthy nations under a commitment set to expire -- and from the $250 billion proposed in a draft Friday. That offer was slammed as offensively low by developing countries, which have demanded at least $500 billion to build resilience against climate change and cut emissions. A number of countries have accused Azerbaijan, an authoritarian oil and gas exporter, of lacking the experience and will to meet the moment, as the planet again sets temperature records and faces rising deadly disasters. Wealthy countries and small island nations have also been concerned by efforts led by Saudi Arabia to water down calls from last year's summit to phase out fossil fuels. The United States and EU have wanted newly wealthy emerging economies like China -- the world's largest emitter -- to chip in. The final draft encouraged developing countries to make contributions on a voluntary basis, reflecting no change for China which already pays climate finance on its own terms. Wealthy nations said it was politically unrealistic to expect more in direct government funding. Donald Trump, a sceptic of both climate change and foreign assistance, returns to the White House in January and a number of other Western countries have seen right-wing backlashes against the green agenda. The deal posits a larger overall target of $1.3 trillion per year to cope with rising temperatures and disasters, but most would come from private sources. bur-np-sct/lth/jj

Sinister tactics Crisis after crisis has been the fate of this hard earned country, which destabilised it politically, socially and economically. Democratic governments have worked for the benefits of the poor but have not allowed to complete their tenures and conspiracies have been hatched to block their way. Today, the same tactics are being repeated to weaken an elected democratic government. This will not only add to the miseries of the common people but also further exacerbate economic problems. The state must tread cautiously and avoid using force against peaceful protesters and must engage them in substantive dialogue and address their genuine issues because democracy has historically always emphasised negotiation.
