Russian forces are bearing down on the Ukrainian capital after attacks on cities and military bases around the country. Ukraine's president warned Russia was ready to 'storm' Kyiv overnight. Follow DW for the latest. Artillery blasts reported in Kyiv Zelenskyy has vowed to continue resistance Russia vetoes UN Security Council resolution on Ukraine EU sanctions on Vladimir Putin and Sergey Lavrov come into force Last updated at 06:35 UTC/GMT Zelenskyy vows to keep up resistance As Russian troops advance on Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he will remain in the city and was not giving up. " We will not put down weapons; we will defend our state," he said in a video filmed outside his office Saturday morning. Zelenskyy had earlier rejected an offer from the US to take him to safety. "The fight is here,'' he said. The Ukrainian leader has described himself as a "main target" for Russia.

The Kyiv government says fighting has broken out on the streets of Ukraine's capital The news comes hours after President Zelensky said Russians would storm the city Explosions are reported across some parts of Kyiv early on Saturday as Russian forces close in on the city President Zelensky posted a video of himself on Saturday, defiantly declaring that they would not 'lay down arms' Ukraine military claims that 3,500 Russian troops have now died, with almost 200 taken prisoner

S&P lowered Russia's long-term foreign currency credit rating to 'BB+' from 'BBB-', and warned it could lower ratings further, after getting more clarity on the macroeconomic repercussions of the sanctions. "In our view, the sanctions announced to date could carry significant negative implications for the Russian banking sector's ability to act as a financial intermediary for international trade, S&P said. Russia vetoed a draft U.N. Security Council resolution on Friday that would have deplored Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, while China abstained from the vote - a move Western countries view as a win for showing Russia's international isolation. The United Arab Emirates and India also abstained from the vote on the U.S.-drafted text. The remaining 11 council members voted in favor. The draft resolution is now expected to be taken up by the 193-member U.N. General Assembly. Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to send a Russian delegation to the Belarusian capital of Minsk for negotiations with Ukraine, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said. The Russian team will consist of representatives of the Defense Ministry, the Foreign Ministry and the Presidential administration, Peskov added on Friday. Frequent artillery blasts could be heard in Kyiv coming from some distance from the city center. Russian troops attacked an army base located on a main avenue in Kyiv but the assault was repelled, the Ukrainian military said. Russian President Vladimir Putin urged the Ukrainian military to overthrow leadership and negotiate peace. Ukraine and Russia are discussing a place and time for talks, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's spokesman Sergii Nykyforov said on social media. The White House said the United States would, in a rare but not unprecedented move, impose sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. The European Union and Canada are also imposing sanctions on Putin and Lavrov. Canada, the United States, Britain and the European Union said they could act to exclude Russia from the SWIFT global interbank payments system. The White House asked Congress to approve $6.4 billion in aid to address the humanitarian and security crisis. Ukraine said more than 1,000 Russian soldiers had been killed. Russia did not release casualty figures. The United Nations said 25 civilians had been killed and 102 wounded, figures that were likely to be a "significant under-estimate". None of the tolls could be independently verified. Ukraine's president Zelenskiy spoke to Biden about strengthening sanctions, defence assistance. NATO allies will provide more weapons to Ukraine, and will make significant additional deployments of forces to the Eastern part of the alliance. Moscow said its forces captured the strategic Hostomel aerodrome outside Kyiv and landed paratroopers in the area. This could not immediately be confirmed and the Ukrainian authorities reported heavy fighting there. The conflict could drive up to 5 million people to flee abroad, U.N. aid agencies said, adding that at least 100,000 people were uprooted and fuel, cash and medical supplies are running low. Ukraine said Russian warships shelled a Moldovan-flagged chemical tanker and a Panamanian-flagged cargo ship near Odessa.

Snakes are elongated, limbless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes /sɜːrˈpɛntiːz/.[2] Like all other squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales. Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads with their highly mobile jaws. To accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes' paired organs (such as kidneys) appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most have only one functional lung. Some species retain a pelvic girdle with a pair of vestigial claws on either side of the cloaca. Lizards have evolved elongate bodies without limbs or with greatly reduced limbs about twenty-five times independently via convergent evolution, leading to many lineages of legless lizards.[3] These resemble snakes, but several common groups of legless lizards have eyelids and external ears, which snakes lack, although this rule is not universal (see Amphisbaenia, Dibamidae, and Pygopodidae).

Ukraine's army is trying to repel a full-scale Russian invasion, with fierce battles taking place close to the capital Kyiv. Fighting is raging at an airfield on the outskirts of the city, and it could become a springboard for the Russian army into Kyiv if its troops seize it. The Russian assault is being fought on several fronts after it attacked from the east, north and south on Thursday. Kyiv has been hit by blasts, and at least one block of flats was damaged. Ukrainian officials said there had been missile strikes on the city, and there are reports that an aircraft was brought down. Ukraine says dozens of people have been killed, while thousands have fled. Moscow launched the offensive in the early hours of the morning, shortly after President Vladimir Putin declared war in a dramatic televised address. He threatened any country attempting to interfere with "consequences you have never seen". Air and missile strikes rained down on cities and military bases, before tanks rolled in across three sides of Ukraine's vast border. It followed weeks of escalating tensions, as Russia massed troops around the country. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky, meanwhile, vowed to continue fighting. He said "a new iron curtain" was falling into place and his job was to make sure his country remained on its western side. Mr Zelensky ordered conscripts and reservists in all of Ukraine's regions to be called up to fight. The country's defence minister urged anyone who was able to hold a weapon to join the effort to repel Russia. But as night fell, fears of a Russian assault on the capital grew. Gunfire and explosions were heard in the city throughout the day and the president was quoted in Ukrainian media as saying "saboteurs" had entered Kyiv. Western intelligence officials earlier warned that Russia was building an "overwhelming force" to take control of the city.

There are two central attributes of Internet memes: creative reproduction of materials and intertextuality. Creative reproduction refers to "parodies, remixes, or mashups," and include notable examples such as "Hitler's Downfall Parodies",[2] and "Nyan Cat", among others. Intertextuality may be demonstrated through memes that combine different cultures; for example, a meme may combine United States politician Mitt Romney's assertion of the phrase "binders full of women" from a 2012 US presidential debate with the Korean pop song "Gangnam Style" by overlaying the politician's quote onto a frame from Psy's music video where paper blows around him. The intertextuality in the example gives new meaning to the paper blowing around Psy; the meme indexes intertextual practices in political and cultural discourses of two nations.[2] The spread of Internet memes has been described as occurring via two mechanisms: mimicry and remix. Remix occurs when the original meme is altered in some way, while mimicry occurs when the meme is recreated in a different fashion to the original.[3][4] The results in the study of Online Memes, Affinities, and Cultural Production, show that the internet directly adds some longevity in a meme's lifespan.[5] There is no single format that memes must follow. Photographs of people or animals, especially stock photos, can be turned into memes by superimposing text, such as in Overly Attached Girlfriend. Rage comics are a subcategory of memes which depict a series of human emotions and conclude with a satirical punchline;[6] the sources for these memes often come from webcomics. Other memes are purely viral sensations such as in Keyboard Cat.

An Internet meme, more commonly known simply as a meme (/miːm/ MEEM), is an idea, behavior, image, or style that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. What is considered a meme may vary across different communities on the Internet and is subject to change over time. Traditionally, they were a concept or catchphrase, but the concept has since become broader and more multi-faceted, evolving to include more elaborate structures such as challenges, GIFs, videos, and viral sensations.[1] Internet memes are considered a part of Internet culture.[1] They can spread from person to person via social networks, blogs, direct email, or news sources. Instant communication on the Internet facilitates word of mouth transmission, resulting in fads and sensations that tend to grow rapidly. An example of such a fad is that of planking (lying down in public places); posting a photo of someone planking online brings attention to the fad and allows it to reach many people in little time. The Internet also facilitates the rapid evolution of memes. One hallmark of Internet memes is the appropriation of a part of broader culture; in particular, many memes use popular culture (especially in image macros of other media), which can sometimes lead to issues with copyright. "Dank" memes have emerged as a new form of image-macros, and many modern memes take on inclusion of surreal, nonsensical, and non-sequitur themes. Colloquially, the terms meme and Internet meme are used more loosely, having become umbrella terms for any piece of quickly-consumed comedic content that may not necessarily be intended to spread or evolve.

The verb pet is usually inflected petted in the past tense and as a past participle. This has been the case for as long as the word has been a verb (about 500 years). The uninflected form (e.g., he pet the cat) is fairly common in informal contexts, especially in the U.S., but it usually gives way to petted in edited writing. Pet is gaining ground, though, and there is some precedent for it in the uninflected verbs let, set, and bet, so it may someday gain broader acceptance. For now, petted remains the safer choice. Examples Here are examples of petted in texts spanning the last few centuries: And indeed, some familiar Horses love to be so petted, and will by that means eat twice as much as they would do if they were left to themselves. [A New Treatise on the Diseases of Horses, William Gibson (1754)] [S]he, provoked at the apparent indifference of her petted darling, positively declared he should come to her, or be sent out of the room. [The Decision: A Novel (1811)] We agreed, without any more consultation, that we would both go, and that Dora was a little Impostor, who feigned to be rather unwell, because she liked to be petted. [David Copperfield, Charles Dickens (1849)] The stately donkeys were much petted and patronized, not by children only, but by that class of sight-seer whom the French denominate badaud. [Atlantic Monthly (1890)]

In their high-school cafeteria, Peter, also known as "Play" announces to his friends Christopher aka "Kid" Robinson, Jr., and Bilal that he will be having a party at his house that night, as his parents are on vacation. The reluctant Bilal is to be the DJ. Kid is then involved in an altercation with school bully Stab and his two brothers Pee-Wee and Zilla. When Kid comes home, he tries to convince his father, "Pop" to let him go to the party. Pop relents at first, but when a note from school informs him of the fight, he punishes Kid from going to the party. Rather than miss the party of the year, Kid sneaks out while Pop is sleeping in front of Dolemite – but the door closing behind Kid awakens Pop. On his way to the party Kid runs into Stab and his brothers, jumps over a fence where a fat man named Roughouse is having sex with his lady, and is shot at by Roughouse. Kid ducks into a nearby Alpha Delta Sigma reunion to escape them. Crashing the reunion, Kid has the DJ scratch and mix a few of his old doo wop records so that he can liven the party with a rap, until Stab and the others arrive. Trying to escape from Stab, Kid accidentally knocks down an older man. Kid and the bullies are caught by the neighborhood police, who humiliate the four teenagers before letting them go. Kid's father is stopped and harassed by the police while walking trying to find him. The party is in full swing when Kid finally arrives. Kid and Play soon get into a dance contest with attractive girls Sydney and Sharane, then have a quick freestyle battle. Stab and his friends attempt to break up the party, but are arrested a second time by the policemen, who take delight in the prospect of beating them up. Kid's father eventually makes his way to the party, demanding to know where Kid is (upstairs helping Sharane get her coat) and, not finding him, Pop vows to wait for him at home. Play stops the party because his bathroom toilet was broken by party members. Although Kid and Sydney have eyes for each other, Sharane decides to flirt with Kid openly, much to Sydney's disgust. The three soon leave the party, but when Kid tries to make advances on Sharane, she rebuffs him. Kid then walks Sydney back home, and after some argument the pair finally calm down and talk quietly. Sydney allows Kid to sneak into her house, and the two are about to have sex in Sydney's room when she stops him, wanting to know if she is simply his second choice. Kid admits that Sydney was his first choice all along, but they do not do anything when they see that the only condom Kid has is too old to be used. When Sydney's parents come home – now revealed as one of the couples at the high-school reunion, including the man Kid ran into – Sydney hastily helps Kid sneak out of the house. He manages to get out of yet another scrape with Stab and his brothers, and they all end up in a jail cell. The men tell Kid what they're in jail for and Kid entertains the rest of the men in the cell by rapping, distracting them long enough for Play, Sharane, Bilal, and Sydney to arrive with enough cash to bail him out. Later, the five friends say their goodnights. Kid and Sydney share a long passionate kiss goodnight. After Play and Bilal drops him off, Kid sneaks in the house and gets undressed. As he is about to get into bed, he looks up to find Pop holding a belt. Pop tells him "I wouldn't do that just yet", snaps his belt, and says "cause your ass is mine". As the credits roll, we can hear Pop hitting Kid with the belt. (Kid yelping with each hit) during the credits.

Amoia started out as a music producer at the young age of 22 and got his first freelance assistant editing job working nights at VH1 and Sony Studios loading tapes and prepping footage for the day shift. After one year, Amoia worked his way up to a freelance editor, working on various projects for MTV, VH1, Sony Studios, and Chappelle's Show on Comedy Central.[1] In 2003, Mike Amoia co-founded Vidiots – a 20,000 square foot postproduction facility in the West Village housing an agency representing editors and directors. Vidiots then expanded into a production company in 2010.[2] In 2015, Amoia created Mibe Music, a publishing company with over 100,000 music cues and songwriters worldwide, which he still co-owns with his operating partner. Mibe Music credits include Beyoncé Pepsi commercial, CBS sports, Bravo's Million Dollar Listing, History Channel's Counting Cars, and the NBA Finals opener for ESPN.[3] Amoia launched Switchblade Entertainment Group in 2016. Switchblade is a worldwide production company signed with Creative Artists Agency, and specializes in original, mostly unscripted content for TV, film, and digital.[4] Production credits include Discovery Channel's "Dirty Money", CBS’ "Men of March”, “Worlds Tough Mudder”, Thursday Night football open, ESPN Monday Night Football open, Fox Being Liverpool, and Cooking Channel's "My Grandmothers Ravioli”.[5] Mike Amoia expanded his ventures into the health and wellness space in 2017 with his investment in Rumble Boxing, a group fitness gym founded in NYC. Just after being operational for little over a year Equinox picked up a significant minority stake in Rumble which was reported to be valued at about 100 million. Mike's investments have expanded to various sectors of business. He currently holds equity in over 17 companies including Rhone (men's activewear and accessories), Ramona (organic wine based spritzer), Stillhouse (liquor), and Van Leeuwen (vegan ice cream) to name a few. In 2019 Amoia joined a New York-based film and media fund founded by Adi Cohen, Mark Damon and Jordi Rediu. He joined the $100 million private placement as a lead investor and head of DCR's decisions about buying into films and TV projects involving music and publishing rights. On October 28th 2021 Mike was awarded the Guinness World Record for "the most insects tattooed on the body" with a total of 864 tattoos. His Guinness record was achieved to raise money and awareness for his non profit to help underprivileged kids. The previous record holder was the late Rick Genest aka "Zombie Boy" who has 176 insect tattoos. In 2022 Amoia signed a multi year deal with Apax Capital Group's European Consortium headed by Yona Wiesenthal and Noam Baram to provide full music coverage for films and TV shows made through Apax for 10 million Euros a year for the next 10 years. Amoia realized this commitment through his MIBE Music company. MIke will steer the Music Investment Committee of Apax's board and thus will be an active member in determining Apax's investment policies for film and television music and publishing rights.

Lewis' tongue will appear in Ripley's Believe It or Not's annual book due out in May 2016, Edward Meyer, vice president of exhibits for Ripley's, told USA TODAY Network. The book does not have an official title yet, he said. "She's certainly not the first long tongue story we've ever done, but it's definitely a 'believe it or not,' " he said. "As an editor, I see that kind of story and it brings a smile to my face and I want the world to know about it." Lewis has her own YouTube channel where she answers questions about her tongue and shows tricks. She also tweets from the handle @LongTongueLewis. At 4 in. long, Adrianne Lewis may just have the longest tongue in the world. The 18-year-old from Michigan has made a name for herself on social media for having a tongue that Kiss rocker Gene Simmons would be proud of. Although she has not been officially judged, Lewis believes she has what it takes to break the Guinness World Record. The title currently belongs to Nick Stoeberi, whose tongue measures in at 3.97 in., reports Barcroft TV.
