Turns out, tax evasion schemes really are a tale as old as time Culture Accounting Is So in: Gen Z Could Help Ease the Field’s Labor Shortage Dragos Condrea/ iStock Next tax season, your accountant may be from a younger generation than you expect. With many baby boomer accountants eyeing retirement in a field that’s already short 340,000 workers, Gen Z is gearing up to fill in the gaps, Fortune reports. ? Accounting has long been stereotyped as a less than thrilling job, and the industry has been facing a massive labor shortage for that reason and many others. But some Gen Zers entering the workforce have realized that the career is not only stable and lucrative, but also has the power to transform people’s lives. That’s being seen firsthand by the college students who are gaining real-life experience through Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, or VITA, programs, in which students help low-income Americans file their taxes for free. ? It’s an experience that may defy what they thought they knew about the field: “While accounting may have a certain image in the background among young people of being not as intriguing and exciting, once they actually engage in the practice and see how it plays out in a real world, it changes people’s mind and views,” said Rafael Efrat, the director of California State University, Northridge’s VITA program. ? In terms of stability, Oregon State University reported that 98% of accounting graduates secure jobs in the field — and their salaries are the highest in recorded history of any major in the university’s business school.

Clasping a long stick between its fingers, the curious ape poked at the camera’s lens before eventually turning around and scurrying away. ? When scientists at the park in Gabon, Africa, initially set up the camera, they were hoping to capture snippets of lions and leopards. Members of wild cat conservation nonprofit Panthera, the researchers are on a mission to rebuild the park’s lion population in what will be the first-ever lion restoration in West and Central Africa. ? Batéké Plateau is currently the only place where the big cats can coexist with Congo Basin rainforest animals like chimps and African forest elephants. But as Panthera’s West and Central Africa regional director, Philipp Henschel, tells Nice News, although the scientists were hoping for a video of wild cats, the January footage of the young female chimp was an exciting discovery in its own right. ? “For us, it’s really an incredible way to see, not only that wildlife is coming back, but also that wildlife is now once again, often in broad daylight, showing this incredible behavior,” Henschel says.

From: Sharon Pohlman ‘The Voice’ Season 27 Episode 11 recap: Kelsea steals an artist from Adam because she ‘wouldn’t do good in jail’ John Benutty Reality TV April 14, 2025 The Voice Season 27 continued the third stage of the competition on Monday with the third installment of "Knockouts" performances. In this round, each coach will set four head-to-head matchups from their team and will be forced to choose only four winners. While they won't be able to save any of the losers from their own team, each coach will have a Steal to bring a loser from another team with them to "The Playoffs." By the end of the round's 16 performances, 20 artists will remain in the competition. One hallmark of this round is that the artists get to choose their own song to perform rather than have it selected by their coach, as was done in the "Battles." Another is that without guest mentors assisting during rehearsals, it's the first time that John Legend, Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Bublé and Adam Levine get to work one-on-one with the artists on their team. Team Legend In the first performance of the night, John paired Nell Simmons (one of his "favorite performances of the Battles") with Chaka Khan's "Sweet Thing" against Renzo ("so unique as an artist") the Billie Eilish track "happier than ever." Following the two performances, John said that Nell was "poised" and called her performance "perfection" while it was "so cool" watching Renzo go through different waves of his vocal and thinks it was great working with his artistry. In the end, John stuck with Renzo because he's "so different" from anyone else in the competition. For the team's second pairing of the night, John chose the "sultry" Olivia Kuper Harris with Donna Summer's "Last Dance" versus the "piercing" vocals of Jacquelyn George with "Too Little Too Late" by JoJo. John told Jacquelyn her soprano is "effortless" and she performs with "clarity and beauty." He thinks Olivia gave a "confident performance," knowing when to be sultry and when to have more fun with the song. Due to her "style and control," John picked Olivia as the winner to continue to the next round. Team Bublé Michael's first Knockout of the night came from Adam David and Carlos Santiago, a pairing he decided on because of their "beautiful voices" despite occupying different genres. Adam went with the Allen Stone soul/rock song "Unaware" while Carlos sang "You Are the Reason" by Callum Scott. Following their performances, Michael called Carlos "unbelievable" and heard a "character voice" from Adam, but ultimately gave the win to Adam for a "dexterity and power" that will be strong in the live shows. In the second pairing of the night for his team, Michael set Jadyn Cree with "Keep Holding On" by Avril Lavigne against Kameron Jaso with "Say You Won't Let Go" by James Arthur. Following their performances on stage, Michael told Kameron that he thinks he'll be a star and applauded him for taking on a song he was scared about, but he chose Jadyn as the winner because she has a voice that "cuts through" and likes that she doesn't know how good she is. Team Kelsea Kelsea brought Jaelen Johnston and Hailey Wright back together after pitting them as opponents in the last round. Hailey chose the classic country song "I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart" by Patsy Montana and Jaelen went with the "country-adjacent" song "Dial Drunk" by Noah Kahan. Kelsea thought that both singers improved upon their performances since the rehearsal space, but she kept Jaelen on her team because of his "whole time" on the show rather than just this round. Team Adam In the last pairing of the night and the round, Adam pitted Conor James with "Forever Young" by Alphaville against Darius J on "American Boy" by Estelle. Following the Knockout, Kelsea recognized both of their "individuality" and said it would be "illegal" for either of them to go home, hinting the obvious that she'd be stealing one of them and stating that she "wouldn't do good in jail." Adam told Darius that he "turned it into an even more high energy" song and Conor that he "sung the

You know who you are and it's easy to enjoy the performance when you have that ability." Lionel's comments: "You were totally control of that song and I loved every minute of it." Luke's comments: "I didn't have to judge what you were doing. I was just listening, being a fan, and taking in the song." Canaan James Hill Age: 17 Hometown: Dallas Performance: "Glory to Glory to Glory" by Fred Hammond & Radical for Christ Carrie's comments: "I love your personality. I know you've been dealing with allergies. We know you have tricks on tricks on tricks in your bag. I feel like that might have forced you to simplify a little bit and it was really nice."

You have been one of my favorites since the first time I heard you open your mouth. Every time you take the stage it makes me more proud." Lionel's comments: "You're the only person I know who can hit a note — and while you're holding that note you give us three different voices.

From: Sharon Pohlman it's a shame they don't have a second chance play off. I do not agree with who all is TOP 24. 'American Idol' chooses Top 24 singers as Jelly Roll mentors 'American Idol' recap: Jelly Roll mentors as judges make questionable choices for Top 24 KiMi Robinson USA TODAY With four people through to the Top 24 and 20 spots left in the competition, "American Idol" contestants are running on fumes. In Monday night's episode, the remaining 42 singers, sleep deprived from overnight rehearsals, paired up for the head-to-head round. It was sink-or-swim as the aspiring stars struggled to memorize lyrics, went on vocal rest to preserve their overworked vocal cords and — for some — adapted to singing with another person for the first time. While some pairings both made it through to the next stage, other duos only had one successful contestant. In a few rough cases, neither singer earned a spot in Carrie Underwood, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan's Top 24. Jelly Roll returned to the show as the first-ever artist in residence to dispense advice and encouraging words from side stage. He even got a celebrity cameo for one lucky pair. Here are the top moments from Episode 7.Carnie Wilson defends Lola: Daughter received 'cruel' comments from 'American Idol' fans Judges give a floundering Baylee Littrell another chance Were we watching the same performance as the judges? After a powerhouse delivery from Keilene (who has received almost no airtime thus far) in the second of three "Shallow" performances tonight, the judges instead chose to focus on her stage partner, Baylee Littrell. Underwood said, "Baylee, you were more comfortable singing with somebody else. It’s like we got to see a different side to you." Uh, yeah. We saw that when he did a duet with his dad, the Backstreet Boys' Brian Littrell, in the season premiere. It was true that he mostly sounded solid when complementing Keilene's vocals, but alone? His voice understandably sounded tired and overused, and he couldn't reach some notes while her Broadway-ready voice had the ability to pierce through Kevlar. Richie had very fair feedback when he pondered whether the cover was on the verge of being "too powerful," while Bryan insinuated that Keilene was too overwhelming in the closing notes. The country star also accurately pointed out Baylee was "timid" in his verses. Despite Baylee's roughest performance yet, it was Keilene who was shown the door. But Baylee was sent into the Top 24 with a warning from Underwood: "It was not a unanimous decision, so moving forward, I need you to step it up!" Brandon Lake reacts to Breanna Nix and Rylie O'Neill's cover of 'Gratitude' Breanna Nix and Rylie O'Neill, who'd bonded over being moms, paired up to cover a song by Christian worship singer Brandon Lake. Little did they know, the songwriter himself was listening to their performance.After the women delivered their song, eyes gazing upward and arms reaching toward the heavens, Jelly Roll cut off the judges' feedback to bring Lake in via FaceTime. "That was the most gorgeous version of 'Gratitude' I've ever heard," he told Breanna and Rylie. Underwood was emotional as she delivered her comments. "I know how difficult it is to come into the entertainment industry and bring your faith with you," she told the singers. "It is a brave thing to do because there are a lot of outside forces that are going to tell you not to do that. I want to tell you that I’m proud of you guys," she added.There was only one spot left in the Top 24, however, and the judges passed over Rylie to offer it to Breanna. The self-described 25-year-old "just a stay-at-home mom" sank to the floor crying with relief and happiness. Unfortunately, some of the less successful duets were cut for time, and not every one of the 22 eliminated contestants received acknowledgement. Here are the singers who didn't make it into the Top 24.

From: Sharon Pohlman 'American Idol' recap: Luke Bryan, Jelly Roll admit song covers are better than their versions American Idol' recap: Luke Bryan, Jelly Roll admit song covers are better than their versions Jelly Roll and Luke Bryan admit contestants' covers were better than their original songs "Luke, we're 0 for 2," artist-in-residence Jelly Roll yelled back at Bryan after watching Mississippi's Jamal Roberts "beat up" Jelly Roll's own song, as Richie put it. Both Jelly Roll and Bryan seemed humbled after watching these aspiring stars one-up them with their own songs. Jamal brought Jelly Roll's "Liar" to the stage in dramatic fashion with a stool kick, an uncompromising attitude and grit to his voice. As Richie put it, whenever Jamal goes on stage, he performs "like it might be the last time you ever sing." "I would feel disrespectful to call this my song in this moment," Jelly Roll said after Jamal's performance. "This is now Jamal’s song. I was singing Jamal’s song tonight." Bryan had some attitude about the situation, though: "I am mad at Jelly Roll. He has over-mentored," the country star said. Earlier, Illinois' Victor Solomon boldly took on Bryan's "That's My Kind of Night" — and the risk paid off. The judges were up on their feet early on in the performance, as Victor massively upstaged Bryan with his hip-swinging, foot tapping moves. Wearing a cowboy hat, suspenders (that soon came loose due to the aforementioned dancing) and tight jeans, Victor showed impressive voice control as he worked the stage while not missing a single note. The fast-food director from Peoria was the last person Bryan would've guessed would take on his country rock music, and "You can truly out-dance me" at that, Bryan said. So much so that Ryan Seacrest encouraged the judge to come up on stage and learn some new moves ahead of his summer tour. Your voice is perfect for every genre of music, and I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that before — or heard that before," Underwood said. Carrie Underwood gets emotional: Singer reflects on 'how difficult it is' to be vocal about her faithKolbi Jordan makes roaring comeback after sickness Sinus infection who? Platinum ticket winner Kolbi Jordan brought some "New Attitude" (Patti LaBelle's, that is) to the stage after suffering from an illness during Hollywood Week's Showstoppers round. Because she had something to prove. 'American Idol' premiere: Carrie Underwood cries, a Backstreet Boy duets... Highlights from Sunday's season premiere included Brian Littrell's son singing an original song and a high schoo... Kolbi's voice is like a rubber band; it makes you want to play with it and see how far it will stretch. Her vocals went high, they went low, and she left it all out on the field. Hers was the first performance that the judges stood for, with Bryan commenting, it was "one of my favorite performances I’ve seen on this island." "America, she is back," he said.

Ché Age: 28 Hometown: Essex, England Performance: "Master Blaster (Jammin')" by Stevie Wonder Carrie's comments: "It was so much fun. You seem so at ease on stage. You're just so stinkin' talented. It was perfect." Lionel's comments: "You don't just jump on a Stevie Wonder song and be that cool. Honestly, I was waiting for you to sweat just a little. Some of those notes were ridiculous! Tonight you were on a rocket." Luke's comments: "I keep waiting for you to miss a note and you will not miss a note. I'm just jealous of you. Don't be scared to keep giving us new interpretations of who you are." Penny Samar Age: 23 Hometown: Williamsport, Pa. Performance: "Good Luck, Babe!" by Chappel Roan Carrie's comments: "You occupy your own lane in this group of talent.

Lionel's comments: "You worked the stage. You gave us drama, you gave us attitude. That's the whole part about being on a stage. You're not just singing, you're performing." Luke's comments: "You're comfortable being you. You're comfortable with your own style of artistry. The stage is your playground — keep it that way!" Kolbi Jordan Age: 26 Hometown: Tulsa, Okla. Performance: "New Attitude" by Patti LaBelle Carrie's comments: "You represent our home state so wonderfully well. You have this light in you and around you and it just comes out of your mouth. I'm so jealous!" Lionel's comments: "You were not feeling well in Hollywood, but you are on fire! In fact, you might want to check the stage to see if there's still some of it there. Your attitude on stage is infectious." Luke's comments: "One of my favorite performances I've ever seen on this island. You controlled everything. You just owned it!" Baylee Littrell Age: 22 Hometown: Alpharetta, Ga. Performance: "Happy" by Pharrell Williams Carrie's comments: "I feel like you're owning your voice and your moment more. I love seeing you work the stage. I want more of that." Lionel's comments: "He hasn't even started his career yet — he walks out on stage and the girls start screaming. It took me 40 years! You're finally getting comfortable." Luke's comments: "This show forces you to grow and you answered the call." Victor Solomon Age: 26 Hometown: Peoria, Ill. Performance: "That's My Kind of Night" by Luke Bryan Carrie's comments: "There are so many artists who try to switch up genres and it's almost believable ... you fit everywhere. Your voice is perfect for every genre of music." Lionel's comments: "I did not know what you were gonna do. Every time you walk out you invent a new person. It was amazing — I loved it!" Luke's comments: "I gotta retire the song after that. That's what this show is about — surprise. The nuances of the arrangement, the thoughts behind it that made it you — I'm super honored, you did a great job." Gabby Samone Age: 22 Hometown: Baltimore Performance: "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" by Celine Dion Carrie's comments: "I felt all the things. Your voice is so powerful, but you have so many nuances in it. Just when I think you're going to wallop us over the head ... you pull back and flip up into your head voice. It'

News Articles Shop Account The First Wartime Comic: Eupolis of Athens, the Poet, Playwright, and Chronicler of the Peloponnesian War The most famous Athenian comic dramatist was Aristophanes (c.446-386 BCE). His plays Frogs, Wasps, Clouds and others remain the most well known of ancient comedies. In his plays, Aristophanes launched scathing attacks on the prominent figures of Athens at the time, mostly during the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BCE). This was the inevitable and devastating war between the two most powerful states in Greece, Athens and Sparta, and their allies. The conflict embroiled virtually all of Greece and the conflict spread to Sicily and the Black Sea. What is less common knowledge, however, is that Aristophanes was not the first wartime comic. He was only one of an entire movement of authors known as Old Comedy who were active during the war. The three acknowledged masters of Athenian Old Comedy were as Aristophanes, Cratinus and Eupolis. Tantalising details of Eupolis’ life and plays reveal that he represents the first wartime comic, criticizing, lampooning (and occasionally praising) the conduct of the war and the individuals involved. Eupolis reveals remarkable possibilities for the role of comedy during wartime, a tradition which continued down the centuries and into today’s conflicts virtually unchanged. Old Comedy We know relatively little of the lives of many of the authors of Old Comedy and Cratinus and Eupolis are no exception. They, along with the other writers of Old Comedy exist only in fragments or testimonia and no full plays survive. Even for Aristophanes, only eleven of the forty plays he wrote survive. Unsurprisingly then, Aristophanes dominates Old Comedy for modern commentators; Cratinus has come to take second place whilst Eupolis has been relegated to a distant third. There are many other authors of comic plays (almost sixty) who we know from the surviving lists of victors at the Dionysia and Lenaia festivals, the two dramatic festivals on the Attic calendar. There are, however, remarkable insights to be found in even the briefest of anecdotes regarding these other authors. We do have a list of victories for Cratinus and Eupolis (whose record of seven prizes, four at the Dionysia and three in the Lenaia from only fourteen or fifteen plays submitted is a remarkable strike rate; four of his seven plays submitted for the Dionysia won). Cratinus’ career was long, his first play coming in around 454 and his last in 423. In that career of approximately 24 plays he achieved nine victories. Aristophanes won much less often with perhaps only two victories at the Dionysia (Babylonioi may have won in 426 and he won again in 387) and three at the Lenaia (Acharnians, Knights and Frogs). Yet we know some of his plays came second at the Dionysia (Wasps, Peace, and Birds), and Clouds came third. Ian Storey compares Aristophanes with Steven Spielberg, a great artist largely ignored by the establishment of his day. Plato certainly uses Aristophanes as the key representative of Comedy in his dialogues the Apology and the Symposium. The question then is how Aristophanes came to be regarded as the greatest exponent of Old Comedy even in antiquity, but that is not one not a question which can be answered here! Continue reading...
