A news program, news programme, news show, or newscast is a regularly scheduled radio or television program that reports current events. News is typically reported in a series of individual stories that are presented by one or more anchors. A news program can include live or recorded interviews by field reporters, expert opinions, opinion poll results, and occasional editorial content.

A special category of news programs are entirely editorial in format. These host polemic debates between pundits of various ideological philosophies.

Over the last several years, news programs (especially commercial network ones) have tended to become less oriented on hard news, and often regularly include "feel-good stories" or humorous reports as the last items on their newscasts, as opposed to news programs telecast more than thirty years ago, such as the ''CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite''. From their beginnings up until the last fifteen years or so, evening television news broadcasts continued featuring serious news stories right up to the end of the program, as opposed to today's editions featuring such anchors as Katie Couric, Brian Williams, and Diane Sawyer.

Cedric Antonio Kyles (born April 24, 1964), known professionally by his stage name Cedric the Entertainer, is an American actor and comedian. He is perhaps best known as the co-star of the WB sitcom ''The Steve Harvey Show'', as Eddie in the ''Barbershop'' films, and as one of the four comedians featured in the Spike Lee film ''The Original Kings of Comedy''.

Early life

Cedric was born in Jefferson City, Missouri, the son of Rosetta, a school teacher, and Kitrell Kyles, an employee of a railroad company. His only sibling, younger sister Sharita Kyles Wilson, is an instructor at the University of Missouri in Columbia. He was raised in Caruthersville, Missouri, but after junior high school he moved to Berkeley, Missouri. Cedric is a graduate of Haverhill High School in Haverhill, Massachusetts. He continues his involvement with his high school by awarding a scholarship each year to a graduating senior through his Cedric the Entertainer Charitable Foundation Inc. The foundation's motto is, "Reaching Out...Giving Back." Cedric majored in Mass Communication at Southeast Missouri State University and worked as a State Farm insurance claims adjuster, and substitute High School teacher before becoming a full-time comedian. He is also a member of Kappa Alpha Psi.

Career

He made his first TV appearance on ''It's Showtime at the Apollo''. Soon after, he appeared on HBO's ''Def Comedy Jam'' and BET's ''ComicView'', which he would later host for the 1993–94 season. Cedric was one of the Grand Prize Winners of the Miller Lite Comedy Search along with fellow comedian, Bernie Mac. In 1994, Cedric also won the Richard Pryor Comic of the Year Award from BET.

In 1996, Cedric moved into acting, playing Steve Harvey's friend, Cedric Jackie Robinson, on the sitcom, ''The Steve Harvey Show''. His acting career grew and he began appearing in movies, including ''Dr. Dolittle 2'', ''Barbershop'', ''Barbershop 2: Back in Business'', ''Ride'', ''Serving Sara'', ''Johnson Family Vacation'', ''Intolerable Cruelty'', ''Man of the House'', ''Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events'', ''Madagascar'' and ''Be Cool''. Cedric was the subject of controversy when his ''Barbershop'' character made unsavory remarks regarding Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks. These comments were spoken in character, were part of the script, and he has never apologized for them. In the 2005 animated film ''Madagascar'', Cedric voiced Maurice the aye aye. In October 2005, Cedric joined the Champ Car auto racing series as a part owner. Cedric appeared in the movie ''Charlotte's Web'' as the voice of Golly the gander. While his acting career grew, Cedric continued stand-up and traveled the country as one of the ''Kings of Comedy'' headliners, with Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley and Bernie Mac. The act was later made into a film by Spike Lee called ''The Original Kings of Comedy''. Cedric briefly had his own sketch comedy show called ''Cedric the Entertainer Presents'', but it never caught on and was canceled after one season. The show had been renewed for a second season, but Fox canceled it before the season began. He then appeared in the 2003 PlayStation 2 video game ''Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004''. His most recent HBO Comedy Special was titled ''Cedric "The Entertainer": Taking You Higher''. Two of the background dancers from the special were Kamilah Barrett and Sandra Colton, who were also finalists in Fox's ''So You Think You Can Dance''.

Cedric appeared in the 2007 film ''Code Name: The Cleaner'', a comedy in which he plays Jake, a janitor with amnesia who may be a secret undercover government agent involved in an illegal arms conspiracy. The film flopped, grossing under $10,000,000 out of its $20,000,000 budget. He then starred in the 2008 films ''Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins'' and ''Street Kings''.

Cedric appeared as the lead comedian at the White House Correspondents Dinner but jokingly remarked that he was unprepared because he thought that he would follow a humorous speech by President George W. Bush but instead followed First Lady Laura Bush, who he commented was very funny.

Cedric the Entertainer was inducted to the St. Louis Walk of Fame on June 7, 2008. His star is located at 6166 Delmar.

Cedric the Entertainer was the special guest host for ''WWE Raw'' on September 21, 2009 in Little Rock Arkansas. During the show, he participated in a wrestling match, defeating Chavo Guerrero by pinfall. The match also featured Santino Marella as a guest referee. Cedric also got help with an unknown wrestler dubbed The Sledge Hammer and Hornswoggle.

In March 2000 Cedric filmed his Directorial Debut with Chicago Pulaski Jones, produced and funded independently by his company Bird and a Bear Entertainment with Producer Eric C. Rhone.

Cedric was recently seen in the Broadway revival of David Mamet's "American Buffalo," the story of three small-time crooks who come to blows during a plot to steal a valuable coin collection.

In 2003 Cedric was featured in the Korean rap artists Drunken Tiger on their album 'Foundation' on the 17th track '뉘우침' (repentance).

In a June 21, 2011 interview, Cedric confirmed that his latest reality game show, ''It's Worth What?'', was going to air on July 12, 2011 on NBC, however, the start date has been delayed by one week to July 19, 2011.

Joel M. Skousen is an American conservative political commentator non-fiction Survivalist author, and retreat consultant who specializes in preparedness topics, particularly survival retreat and fallout shelter design and construction, as well as in what he calls "strategic relocation." Skousen is the founder and chief editor of ''World Affairs Brief'', a weekly news-analysis service. He has offered in both North and Central America consultation regarding architectural and retreat design.

Skousen has written several books. including ''Essential Principles for the Conservation of Liberty'', ''Strategic Relocation—North American Guide to Safe Places'', ''The Secure Home'', ''Survival Home Manual: Architectural Design, Construction, and Remodeling Of Self-Sufficient Residences and Retreats'', and ''How to Implement a High Security Shelter in the Home''. He also published a booklet titled ''10 Packs for Survival'', which he has also posted to several web sites.

Skousen designs and consults on hardened retreat homes, often including fallout shelters with HEPA air filtration systems. In the book ''Dancing at Armageddon: Survivalism and Chaos in Modern Times'' by Richard G. Mitchell, Jr., (2001) Skousen was quoted: "'You never want to make a house look like an obvious fortress. Those who want in can always move up a bigger gun. There is no way you can design a home to withstand RPG (Rocket-propelled grenade) rockets and tanks. I design these homes so you virtually cannot tell inside or out that they are any different from a conventional home.'"

Because of its low population density and diverse economy, both Skousen and survivalist writer James Wesley Rawles recommend the Intermountain west region of the United States, as a preferred region for relocation and setting up survival retreats.

Skousen was raised in Oregon and later served as a USMC fighter pilot during the Vietnam Era. During the 1980s Skousen was the Chairman of the Conservative National Committee. He was also the Executive Editor of Conservative Digest.

In late 2007, Skousen gained attention when he gave his support to Ron Paul rather than to fellow LDS church member Mitt Romney in the 2008 US presidential campaign, in a widely-circulated YouTube video clip. After John McCain became the Republican Party's presumptive nominee in early 2008, Skousen also endorsed Pastor Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party: "As Ron Paul goes back to Congress to continue the fight there, I believe Chuck Baldwin is the person to continue the fight during this election cycle and beyond."

Joel Skousen is the older brother of Mark Skousen and the younger brother of Royal Skousen. The three Skousen brothers are the nephews of conservative author and commentator Cleon Skousen.

More than ever, I still consider the nuclear attack on America as inevitable, both because the real axis of evil (Russia and China) are still building for that attack, and because our own government is controlled by those intent upon destroying US sovereignty and delivering our nation over to a socialist New World Order (NWO). [2006]

The one thing you can learn from the liberal and controlled media, including arch liberal newspapers like the Washington Post, NY Times, and LA Times, is the direction in which the conspiracy against liberty is going. I spend about a third of my time watching what the opposition does. When they start uniformly promoting certain issues in all the liberal journals (global warming, smart growth, gun control, etc.), it is obvious that there is some coordination going on. But remember, you can only learn to see through the selectively filtered news dispensed by the establishment media if you have other sources that feed you the missing pieces.

In terms of unity, we are at a real disadvantage up against the left. It only takes one thing in common for “liberals” to unite. It only takes one difference of opinion for conservatives to divide.

Maulana Tariq Jameel (}})(born 1953) is an Islamic scholar from Pakistan. His native town is Tulambah near Mian Channu. His father was an agriculturist who belonged to the Muslim Rajputs community.

Tariq Jameel was born and raised in Mian Channu. In his childhood he lived a relatively modest life but religion was not a major part of his life and his family in particular. It wasn't until he pursued his M.B.B.S. in Lahore that his focus shifted towards Islam. After completing his Higher Secondary School education (a.k.a F.Sc in some regions of Pakistan) in pre-medical (equivalent to A 'levels') from Government College University Lahore, he took admission in King Edward Medical College in Lahore. He intended to do his M.B.B.S., but he soon switched to Islamic education. He then went on to receive Islamic education from Jamia Arabia, Raiwind (near Lahore), Pakistan where he studied Quran, Hadith, Sharia, Tasawwuf, logic and Fiqh.

Transition towards Islam

His proclivity towards Islam grew during hostel life in Lahore and can mainly be attributed to the group members of Tablighi Jamaat who he became friends with during his college life.

Rise to prominence

He has a simple style of elaborating the purpose of human life and its creation and often uses scientific examples to support his argument. He has delivered lectures to all types of communities in the society with the attendees being doctors, engineers, professors, businessmen, landlords, government officials, TV/film artists, ministers/politicians and sports celebrities.

Islamic teachings

Tariq Jameel’s lectures incorporate a wide range of issues of Islam and social concern. He especially emphasizes on self-purification, avoidance of violent ways, observance of Allah’ orders and to follow the Prophet Muhammad’s sunnah. He is a staunch critic of moral degeneration, indecent practices and shamelessness.

Junaid Jamshed (}}; born September 3, 1964) is a Pakistani recording artist who gained fame as the frontman of the pop group, Vital Signs in 1987 with the hit song, ''Dil Dil Pakistan'', and remained in demand throughout the 1990s. In 1994, he released his debut solo album, ''Junaid of Vital Signs'', which also quickly became a national hit, followed by ''Us Rah Par'' in 1999 and ''Dil Ki Baat'' in 2000

Since then, he has focused on Islam and concentrated on reciting nasheeds. His debut religious album, ''Jalwa-e-Janan'' was released in 2005 and was followed by ''Mehboob-e-Yazdaan'' in 2006, ''Badr-ud-Duja'' in 2008, and ''Badee-uz-Zaman'' in 2009. He also runs a boutique with the name "J.", read as "Jay Dot", which has several outlets all over Pakistan.

Early life and education

Junaid Jamshed is the son of Group Captain (retd) Jamshed Akber Khan and Nafeesa Akber Khan. His father was a Pakistan Air Force officer. He belongs to a Pashtun and Urdu-speaking family. Jamshed wanted to join Pakistan Air Force as a fighter pilot and studied pre-engineering courses in PAF College in Karachi before joining University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore from where he completed his graduation in 1990. Despite applying to join the Pakistan Air Force, he later moved on to a career in Aeronautical Engineering due to his weak eyesight.

Music career

Vital Signs

Though Vital Signs was launched in early 1986 in Rawalpindi by Rohail Hyatt and Shahzad Hasan (Shahi), it was a while later when Jamshed, then a young aeronautical engineering student from Lahore, joined them as their lead singer. Though their hit debut single, ''Dil Dil Pakistan'', released on 14 August 1987, skyrocketed them into fame, the song's success was not seen by him as something that would turn him into a professional musician. Jamshed, who wanted to become a professional engineer, initially didn't want to have anything to do with music other than just treating it as a hobby.

However, Rohail and Shahzad soon managed to convince him otherwise. After a string of chart-topping songs and albums, the band split in 1994 and Jamshed began his solo career, achieving even more success.

Solo career

Jamshed released his first solo album, ''Junaid of Vital Signs'' in 1994. The album's name was later changed to ''Tumhara Aur Mera Naam''. This was followed by ''Us Rah Par'' in 1999. ''Us Rah Par'' went on to become one of the best selling albums of that year. The album included several hit numbers such as, ''Us Rah Par'', ''Na Tu Ayegi'', ''Aankhon Ko Aankhon Ney'' and ''O Sanama''. In 2000, Jamshed released his next album, ''The Best of Junaid Jamshed'', which contained remixes of some of the hit singles of the Vital Signs era. His last solo album, ''Dil Ki Baat'', was released in 2001.

In 2003, BBC World Service conducted an international poll to choose ten most famous songs of all time. Around 7000 songs were selected from all over the world. According to BBC, people from 155 countries/territories voted in the poll. ''Dil Dil Pakistan'' was ranked third among the top 10 songs.

In 2004, Jamshed renounced music and devoted his life to Islam. He is now an active member of the Islamic preaching ''Tablighi Jamaat''. He is also noted for opening a clothing store "J.", selling ''Khaadis'' (a form of Kurta-Shalwar).

Influence

In 1987, Jamshed took Pakistani media by storm with his band's hit patriotic number ''Dil Dil Pakistan'', viewed as one of the most popular songs of all time. This was a turning point in Pakistan's music history which ushered in a new era of pop musical bands and produced many fine singers and musicians. These bands represented and inspired the youth. Fourteen years later, he announced his retirement from music and devoted a significant amount of his time to religious preaching. Jamshed now sings Urdu and English nasheeds.

Charity work

Junaid Jamshed is also actively involved in charity work and has been associated with the Muslim Charity since 2003. Under the leadership of Junaid Jamshed, Muslim Charity has achieved a great deal in the last few years and expanded its operations to 17 countries.
