Owner of local cinema says Amazon is upset at way they marketed movie as some in US say healthy ticket sales are not reflected by empty seats
An independent cinema in Oregon has claimed Amazon pulled screenings of their documentary about Melania Trump in protest at the cinema’s marketing strategy.
As reported by local newspaper the Lake Oswego Review, the general manager of the Lake Theater & Cafe has claimed the corporation cancelled future screenings of Brett Ratner’s authorised study of the first lady after being alerted to promotional pushes such as: “To defeat your enemy. You must know them. Melania” and “Does Melania wear Prada? Find out on Friday!”

Aidan Doyle was an estate agent in Liverpool before he decamped to Dubai and turned a £30,000 annual income into £500,000 a year and climbing.
Acting as an agent for buyers and sellers, Doyle has seen his commission soar beyond anything he could hope to generate in the UK after just three years in the city, one of seven city-states in the United Arab Emirates.

Should I try to seek closure with a person I used to love but drifted apart from, or is it best to leave them be?
There’s a person I used to be really close to who doesn’t talk to me any more. We didn’t have a fight. We just drifted, but I still think about them all the time.

With deep blue waters flanked by dramatic peaks, Guanabara Bay is the postcard view of Rio de Janeiro – but it is also one of Brazil’s most polluted coastal environments. Raw sewage and solid waste flow into the bay from surrounding cities, home to more than 8 million people. Cargo ships and oil platforms chug in and out of commercial ports, while dozens of abandoned vessels lie rotting in the water.
But at the head of the bay, between the cities of Itaboraí and Magé, the environment feels different. The air is purer, the waters are empty but for small fishing canoes, and flocks of birds soar overhead.

Last week, I was sent an exciting news story by a friend. This was a surprise for two reasons: I’m chronically online so I usually see everything first, and also there are no good news stories any more in this life. But it was real, and for many people, including me, this one piece of blessed news was equal to three or four regular pieces of good news.
It is a rat king of good news, a fatberg of good news clogging up my pipes. It had been announced that *trumpets heralding* *doves released* the iconic Nigella Lawson is joining the iconic The Great British Bake Off!!!!!! (I don’t know how many exclamation marks are allowed in the Guardian style guide, I might be pushing it.)

‘If anything was to come to the surface we’d look at it’
During its 26-year history, the World Anti-Doping Agency has faced thousands of questions about athletes using illicit substances. Thursday, however, surely marked the first time it was asked whether ski jumpers were injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid in order to fly further.
The Wada president Witold Banka’s reaction? “Ski jumping is very popular in Poland [Banka’s home country] so I promise you I’m going to look at it,” he said, with a wry smile.

Zo keert David van Weel terug als minister van Justitie en Veiligheid, de post die hij bekleedde voordat hij afgelopen zomer overstapte naar Buitenlandse Zaken.
Minister Vincent Karremans gaat van Economische Zaken naar Infrastructuur en Waterstaat. Sophie Hermans verlaat het ministerie van Klimaat en Groene Groei en wordt minister van Volksgezondheid. Huidig staatssecretaris Thierry Aartsen van Infrastructuur wordt in het nieuwe kabinet minister van Werk en Participatie.
Eerder was al duidelijk dat partijleider Dilan Yeşilgöz minister van Defensie en vicepremier wordt, en dat Eelco Heinen op Financiën blijft.
LONDEN (ANP/RTR) - De Britse centralebankgouverneur Andrew Bailey verwelkomt de voordracht van Kevin Warsh door president Donald Trump om de nieuwe voorzitter te worden van de Federal Reserve. Dat zei Bailey in een toelichting op het besluit van de Bank of England (BoE) om de rente in het Verenigd Koninkrijk onveranderd te laten, na vier verlagingen op rij.
Warsh moet dan de opvolger worden van Fed-voorzitter Jerome Powell. De termijn van Powell loopt in mei af. Bailey zei Warsh en Powell goed te kennen en dat beiden zeer gekwalificeerd zijn. Warsh was eerder bestuurder bij de Amerikaanse centrale bank. Trump nomineerde hem vorige week om de hoogste functie bij de Fed te gaan vervullen.
De BoE kwam wel met een verlaging van de groeiverwachtingen voor de Britse economie. Voor dit jaar wordt nu gerekend op een groei van 0,9 procent en voor volgend jaar op 1,5 procent. Dat was eerder respectievelijk 1,25 en 1,6 procent.
De drie coalitiepartijen zijn eruit bij de verdeling van de ministeries. En wéér was er volgens alle drie géén ruzie over gemaakt, anders dan in de tijd van Dick Schoof.
