The stone-cold diva of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” was taken into federal custody Tuesday after being deprived of the comforts of her snow-covered Utah sanctuary.
The 43-year-old Shah and his 43-year-old assistant Stuart Smith are accused of cheating hundreds of victims – many of whom are senior citizens of the country – who are working on a nationwide telemarketing scheme.
Bravo Starr and Smith have been charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, according to the US Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York.
He and Smith faced up to 30 years in prison.
Before allegedly finding herself on the wrong side of the law, Shah was a proud Muslim girl who lived in a Mormon world with great affection.

“Salaam Elekum, Woh Saale Kuinne”, Hawaii and Tongan’s wife and mother of two revealed their “Housewives” franchise at the November “Series” premiere.
With unbridled tongue and fiery temperament, Shah was often compared to the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice Bravo fans online. Giudice was convicted in 2014 on mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud charges.

Shah was the first Polynesian artist in the franchise to convert from Mormonism to Islam after marrying University of Utah special teams football coach Sharrif Shah.
Her husband’s name has not been taken in connection with her alleged crimes.
Even with Shareef’s plentiful salary, Jane’s non-defining line of work led to a hobby of “housewives” on Twitter questioning how the couple were able to live up to their luxurious lifestyle.
They live in a 9,420-square-foot rental house for about $ 4 million. She flaunts high-end fashion and bejeweled accessories on social media. She employs eight assistants known as the “Shah Squad” who fulfill her every wish. She once participated in the show, “I probably spend $ 50,000 a month.”
She dangerously extended her tenure as an online advertising specialist to host Andy Cohen during “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” aired in February.
But it seems that his lucrative moves in marketing may come at the cost of others.

Robinhood is cutting confetti From its stock trading app, following allegations that animation helped “Gameify” invest. Instead, the company is adding new animations that will celebrate trading milestones more brilliantly for users.
The famous digital confetti showers have been a controversial part of Robinhood’s app since 2016. In the past, Robinhood has argued that friendly features “help people easily fit into their lives.” But other – Including the Massachusetts Securities Division – have argued that confetti (along with other features, like free stock promotions) help “trade” for amateur investors who don’t understand what they are doing.

Madhu Muthukumar, senior director of product management at Robinhood, says, “I think confetti is really going wrong, and I think it’s really doing the opposite of what we want.” Commented to Wall Street Journal. It seems to have deviated from the goal of the app, which regular people have to do, everyday people who are excluded from the market feel they can participate and feel like they have to To take financial steps is being positively reinforced. life.”
Of course, Robinhood is still recovering from its participation in a recent wave of “meme stocks” that saw the company come under fire from users who were disappointed when it started restricting trades of popular stocks such as Gamestop and AMC. Gave, as if the R / WallStreetBets subreddit to Reddit users were trading them.
But Robinhood is planning to go public The company already confidentially files for an upcoming IPO.. Cleaning up any controversial aspects of the application – not even as comfortable as confetti celebrations – is a logical step to please future investors.
The PlayStation 5’s DualSense controller is an incredible input device, perhaps the most tangible example of “next-gen” gaming that the new wave of consoles has offered to date. But it is not necessary that you only watch the upgrade from Sony’s controller.
At first glance, there are some differences between the PS4’s DualShock 4 and the PS5’s DualEyes, which share almost identical button buttons. But DualSense changes the game (literally), thanks to the near-magic of its adaptive trigger system, which can adjust the tension of the rear buttons to make them easier (or harder) to suppress in response to gameplay. is.
It turns out that the answer to revolutionizing the controller is not to add more buttons, but to create those that we already have a deeper, better experience with.
You only need to take a dualinsign and launch it into a game to see that it is nothing like its predecessor. The first PS5 game I played Spider-Man: Miles Morales, And I still remember feeling a train or electric crack through the controller’s haptic feedback – another new addition to this generation – for the first time.
But even more important is how adaptive triggers change web-swinging. Every * thwip * of a web through Manhattan as Miles now has a slight resistance to it, adding to the pace of life and momentum. From a gameplay perspective, the controls are actually similar to the PS4 Spider Man. But new technology helps to bring the game to a new dimension.
From a technical standpoint, this is an incredibly impressive system: each trigger actually has a separate geared motor that allows the controller to adjust the tension and resistance on the fly. Depending on how the motor is engaged, it can feel anything from a smooth, simple glide to an almost physical fight to suppress the trigger. And while I’m still a little wary about long-term durability (more moving parts usually mean more points of failure), it’s one of the smartest engineered buttons in technology today.
And the benefits of DualDisk are evident in many PS5 games. in Astro’s room (Which is designed as a showcase for the new controller) You can feel the raging rush of a jetpack and the twisting of each bowling. in Destruction AllStars, Triggers help tell you fast when you’re accelerating or braking, when they increase or decrease pressure, it warns you of imminent destruction of your vehicle to push, when you Push your battered car to the limit. . FortniteEach feels unique with gunpoint, with a shotgun blast, a pistol shot, and a heavy rifle firing differently on the all-new console.
Seeing that games that take advantage of new triggers have already become one of my favorite things to do whenever I boot a new PS5 game, and Sony did a remarkable job of making every press of those buttons more important. Have done
In discussing the next generation of consoles, often, a great emphasis is placed on the idea of immersion – ramping up the graphics to make the game look like real life. But only by focusing on improving how the games look, dual games are arguably done more for immersion than any graphical upgrade (especially since unlike fancy frame rates or high resolutions, it’s fancy New TV is not required) benefit from). This opens up a whole new avenue for developers that gets you moving on-screen and brings you even further into the game world.
There is an alternate universe where Sony’s PlayStation 5 controller took cues from its DualShock back button attachment and added more paddles and inputs for players – an approach taken by the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, for example. It’s not a bad approach, especially for more advanced players who want that flexibility and customization, but it doesn’t make the game more immersive or open up new ways to connect to what you’re playing.
DualDisk is a different approach, assuming that the way forward for controllers is not just to add more buttons; This is to make the people we already have more informative, more engaging and more fun to interact with.
When it comes to mentors of the golden age of animation, Tex Avery is not frequently mentioned as Chuck Jones, Frèze Freleng, Max Felisher, or Walt Disney. But maybe he needs. Daffy Duck and Bug Bunny are believed to be the first cartoons to feature. The phrase “What’s up, doctor?” His contribution was – this is a saying from his native Texas. He created the character Egghead, which later evolved into Elmer Fudd. He slowed down the initially heavy porky pig into something more like his beloved current appearance. And he sure is Loonie Tunes / Mary Melodice-style architect – the one who helped create more series than clones of Disney’s cartoons, mainly by picking up the pace and adding an air of anything-chaos. When he moved to MGM, he made droopy as well as his hypothesis on the fairy-tale Wolf, who does not want Red Riding Hood to eat, so that he gets it in the sack.
But Avery is more than just a pioneer and a point of origin for some cultural touchstones. He was an eccentric artist. HBO Max’s animation collection and cartoon streamer Boomerang have made their work more accessible than ever. When his name pops onscreen, it’s a sign that what’s ahead is coming from a specific mindset that includes tireless gags, visual penalties, meta asides, and a heavy dose of surrealism, all delivered with lightning speed has gone. He is not trying to play good like Disney, which he often makes fun of in his cartoons.
In one of Avery’s cartoons, 1944 Big heel – one of many Avery shorts with unfortunate racist gags – a character turns up for the audience and says, “In a cartoon, you can do anything.” It can also be an Avery mission statement. The characters talk to the narrator, or to Avery himself. In split-screen scenes, characters will approach each other, transfers. They would burst into pieces like broken vases, or split into two like Dutch doors. In 1946 The hick chick, Two characters get into fights, and one of them jumps inside the other’s body, punching him from inside his stomach. Most cartoons still have a leg up in reality. Tex Avery does not have legs in our world.

Avery made his way to his first gig. In 1935, as a former Inker and an animator who had never directed, he directed at Leon Schlesinger Productions, whose cartoons were released by Warner Bros. Pictures. At first, he played the ball with the style of home, fired even when he did not want to. But he had grand ideas about how to make cartoons more frantic, meta, and fun. Disney shorts were certainly not always fun; The Sily Symphonies, often built around classical music, was beautiful and serious, even pretentious. The Sleddinger cartoons were his slightly crappy antagonists, often around jazz songs (Smile, Darren Yes, Smile !; I did not get a hat, Etc.), although they were still struggling to find their voice.
Tex Avery helped him find it. Solution to that? Stress that the company’s cartoons were comedies. He did not want to attract people, he wanted to make them laugh. He slowly began to implement his own ideas about pacing and jokes, resulting in dense fights. Village Smithy And Porky’s Duck Hunt, Which introduced a deranged, bouncy jump, which soon led to the duck being named Daffy. (It would take Daffy nearly a decade to become an arrogant, dump-on idiot, say, Chuck Jones’ Duck so-and-so.) Avery was also the one who developed a rabbit who was making animation rounds, and found his true character in 1940 A wild green. That rabbit will soon be named Bugs.
It was a picture of Bugs ending Avery with Looney Tunes and Mary Melodies. He and Schlesinger quarrel in the 1941 Bugs-led finale Heckling green, Which he wanted to end up with Bugs and his canine opposition repeatedly falling off a cliff, escaping, then doing it again and again. Slesinger ordered him to end it only after a near-fatal fall. An enraged Avery was either fired or released, depending on who told the story.

Avery quickly retaliated at MGM, where he carte blanched to create what he wanted. he took it. His MGM cartoon is Tex Avery Unbound. She no longer had to answer to anyone, and as a result, all the things she was doing fast in loony tunes and Mary Melodes shorts – rapid-fire gags, Brechtian believes, anything cute and Disneyfied sabotage – Was much and was enriched richly.
Some friends of Avery’s old Sleddinger unit felt that Avery’s MGM work is too cold, and it is true that those shorts lack the ingenuity and deep features of Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies. (Droppy, Avery’s best-known MGM production, is perhaps a two-joke character. They’re fantastic jokes, though.) But by then, the two companies were doing their thing. Avery, Looney Tunes / Mary Melodies also developed further, hitting their peak powers in the late ’60s to the’ 40s. But they don’t get there without Avery. He greatly enhances his development towards more comic comedy. Directors such as Jones, Freleng and Robert McKimson slowed down the pacing, but simply that they had their own distinct, game-changing pace.
Meanwhile, at MGM, Avery was doing his fastest, most dense and, in a way, the most personal work. Take the 1946 Draupadi vehicle Northwest Hounded Police, One of Avery’s most stringent pursuits, in which he is a vaunty hunting a fugitive version of a wolf. The villain escapes from the prison by drawing a door on the wall with a pencil, then slipping through it. Later, he runs so fast that when he tries to twist the hairpin, he runs straight out of the film frame. And there are endless variations on a joke: Wherever the wolf goes, there is Draupadi, no matter how unfair. Michael Barrier, author of Hollywood Cartoons: American Animation in the Golden Age, It is described as one of Avery’s in which he “ruthlessly pursues a mad idea.” However, he can describe any number of his most accomplished works.
Although Avery was at MGM at the same time that William Hanna and Joseph Barbera were outsmarting the Tom and Jerry cartoons, the two groups were very different. Tom and Jerry took the cartoon violence to the next level, but to no avail, they were always overtaken by the next scene. Avery was not interested in violence for violence. For him, cartoon objects were elastic, in a steady state of flow, and not just because of what is being done to them with arms. They were extensions of emotions and sensations. Characters change color or get scared when they are surprised, or get excited. in Red hot riding hood – In some ways Avery’s signature less – when Wolf sees the object of his desire, his eyes drop from his chairs, become huge saucers, larger than his entire body, or simply like a stone. She revolves.

Wolf cartoons do not slip into children’s cartoon programming. After all, they are clearly thirsty. They also remind that cartoons from the ’30s to the’ 60s were not strictly fare. He used to play in movie theaters before the features. He had to appeal to all. Only when they wound on television, often as saturday-morning-cartoon bait, were they preferred as classic looney tunes and children’s entertainment. But there was more and more inclination towards the adult part of Avery Theaters. Scholar Jane Gaines argues that Avery of the Moonlight Drawing, making training films for the US Army Air Corp, produced thirsty wolf cartoons for sex-starved soldiers fighting abroad during World War II. (It also played gangbusters for sex-starved people coming back home.) Warner Archive’s recent collections of Avery’s MGM work also come with a curious warning, announcing that these cartoons are “suitable for children.” Can not be. “
Avery’s career ended prematurely. By the mid-’50s, he had left MGM, but he never had such a good home. By the ’60s and’ 70s, he was doing animated TV commercials, and his last employers were his old colleagues Hanna and Barbera, who hired him to write gags for cartoons on Saturday morning. He still left behind a vast body of work, revealing a voice as rich and strange as distinctive as any iconoclastic autoris. Tex Avery was one of the great pyramids of cinema, such as Luis Buñuel, Maya Deren, and Jean-Luc Goddard gleefully destroying narrative conventions and fairs that could push the boundaries of cinema.
One of Avery’s favorite gags – and she had several, repeated Ed Nozam shorts cranked – was to portray an audience member, watching the same cartoon you’re popping into the frame in silhouette, Then interact with the characters on screen. Probably the best version of it is in 1939 Smoothie with dirty mug, Where a spectator tries to help a frustrated cop who is trying to bust a crime ring. “I sat through this photo twice,” he says, then tells the officer where to find their whereabouts. In the cartoon, you can do anything, and Avery knew it.

Stills from The Heckling Hare of 1941
Ten Tex Avery Shorts to Get You Started, and Where to Find Them:
Village Smithy (193 like): The first Tex Avery who actually feels like he’s on the wheel. Porky stops against a blacksmith, and has an intrusive narrator, characters joking about being in the cartoon, and a climax that is almost as wild as Christopher Nolan’s finale theory. (Hbo max)
Porky’s Duck Hunt (193 (): Daffy Duck burst onto the scene in his original Crazy Hooting and Horrible version while torturing his future bud Porky. (HBO Max)
Legend of a bear (1970): The most frantic of Avery’s fairy tale parodies his Warner era, it removes a Goldilocks story until it becomes almost unrecognizable. (Hbo max)
Turtle Beats Hare (1971): Bugs is one of his first attempts, working with Meta Gauges, to read the title card beginning with our anterio, then provoking the filmmakers to lose it. (Hbo max)
The screw trant (1985): One of Avery’s MGM Creations, Screw Squirrel, never really took off, perhaps because his cartoons are essentially deconstructions that people expect from cartoons about the cute characters of the cartoon. Dense and bizarre and hilarious. (Boomerang)
Northwest Hounded Police (19 9): The tightest of the Droopy-vs-Wolf outing, slo-mo with a big contrast between the quickness of the cartoon and the molasses of its protagonist. (Boomerang)
King-size canary (1949 (): One-way in which Avery produces a crazy idea, where hungry animals get a powerful growth nectar. A joke is coming to an end for ages. (Boomerang)
The cat who hated people (1979 (): In which the condensate layer that resembles Jimmy Durante makes an excellent case about the inherent evil of mankind with an unexpected journey into space. (HBO Max)
Little rural riding hood (1979): For my money, this thirsty Kollowig – aka Goffy’s voice – as a native boy who is meant to get it, is the best of the thirsty wolf cartoons. (Boomerang)
Symphony in slang (1950): One of the most unique of Avery’s one-offs, in which one slang-crazed man after another induces hilarious visual punishment. (Boomerang)

A Swedish mattress manufacturer for the stars is led by a Kuki CEO who hires employees based on their “vibrations” and outlines topics for pornographic video training, a new lawsuit follows.
Chief executive Jan Ride has effectively changed his bizarre beliefs in company policy in Hastens, whose iconic checker beds are worth $ 400,000 and are the likes of Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, Vladimir Putin and the Swedish royal family, in court. The papers say.

Former Hastens executive recruiter Lijendra Vega, who filed a lawsuit Wednesday in Manhattan federal court, claims she was forced to follow metaphysical philosophies to evaluate job candidates rather than looking at her skills or work experience .
Among them were “Spiral Dynamics” and “Scale of Enlightenment”, which according to the suit evaluates people on the basis of “vibrations and frequencies”.

“This type of mind control is forced by religious doctrine and has no legitimate place in any work environment.”
Gregory Downey, Hades’ right-hand man, who “has increasingly increased executive decision-making” at Hastens, allegedly led daily training sessions on obscure metaphysical topics such as “intent mapping” or “self-reflection”. While Hastens claimed that these sessions were only recommended, they were essentially mandatory as Ride attended at least one day and figured out who claimed the complaint.

Vega was one of several employees who complained to Hastens about the high video, which Ride described as “rampant”, including “grown up language”.
Ryde forced him out of the email before he was demoted and then fired in January, which he said was retaliation for his complaints.

What could have gone wrong?
Tesla’s eccentric, Twitter-happy CEO plans to join Endeavor’s board – a Hollywood conglomerate controlled by Ari Emanuel, with a majority stake in the UFC, as well as WME talent agency and Miss India Global beauty contest, a securities Filing revealed late Wednesday.
The so-called S-1 filing revealed that Endeavor wanted to go public on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker of “EDRR”. It has raised nearly $ 1.7 billion, including high-profile, private investors, including billionaire Paul Singer’s Elliott Management, Michael Dell’s MSD Capital, Silver Lake, Tencent and Third Point.
Meanwhile, the filing only explained clearly why Endeavor – which was reported by The Post last week, was intended to end the effort to go public in 2019 due to weak demand early next month Filing for IPO. Its board would be a good idea.

In addition to Musk’s “professional background and experience running a public company, Endeavor cited his” first senior executive-level positions, his service on other public company boards and his starting, growing and integrating businesses. “
Los Angeles-based Endeavor was also quick, however, to accept that Musk has a rocky record when it comes to corporate governance. It also includes his infamous August 2018 tweet, in which he planned to take Tesla at $ 420 per share.
The market-running tweet – which was intended as a pot joke, slang for “420” marijuana use – was fined $ 20 million by Musk and banned by the SEC for two years as Tesla’s president, Endeavor contributed to its Wednesday securities filing.
Nevertheless, Endeavor said, “There is no restriction on Mr. Musk’s ability to serve as an officer or director on the company’s board.”

According to sources close to the situation, there are common ties between Musk and Emanuel, including Egan Durban, co-CEO of private equity firm Silver Lake. Musk consulted with Durban, who helped Michael Dell buy his computer company when he was evading the idea of taking Tesla private. At the time, Musk also spoke to Dale, according to himself A report by The Wall Street Journal.
Meanwhile, Silver Lake has a 35 percent stake in Endeavor and 20 percent in the UFC, as reported exclusively by The Post. Endeavor is looking to buy those bets and take 100 percent control of the UFC as part of its bid to IPO. Dell also holds a 2 percent stake in the MMA company.
Musk also has some other chance connections to Endeavor. Pop star Grimes, his girlfriend and baby mama, have been re-created by WME. The couple have been seen together in UFC matches, and UFC President Dana White has traded tweets with Musk. Recently, White told reporters that he felt that Tesla CEOs were “crooks” to reopen Tesla’s car manufacturing plant in California during the epidemic.
“Didn’t he open it and say arrest me? I love it,” White said at a press conference last May.

Musk, who also appeared several times on Rogan’s podcast, smoked occasionally, to host topics with MMA. In a recent interview, Musk revealed to a surprised Rogan that he practiced martial arts as a child and had been a fan of “the first MMA fights”, especially that of UFC Hall of Fame fighter Royce Gracie.
“He [Gracie] Was winning against the people at large and that sort of thing. And it was just like “Wow, this is good,” Musk said. “I sent my children to jujutsu because they were like, I don’t know, six.”
Endeavor also stated in his filing that Fon Weaver, an investor and author of “Happy Wives Club”, will also join the board.
