• The 2010s brought a lot of change to the big screen. Here are the 20 best movies of the decade.

  29-12-2019 18:48
  
  In 2010, Netflix had just launched its streaming service, but it was relying on its DVD and Blu-ray rentals to pay the freight. That same year, there were 39,520 movie screens across America — only marginally fewer than the 41,172 in operation today, according to the National Association of Theater Owners.So the proliferation of streaming platforms for movies — Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Shudder, Disney+ and so on — hasn’t destroyed the theatrical model the way everyone

  Pity poor Republicans. They have only one argument left to defend Donald Trump for abusing the powers of the presidency by inviting a foreign power to intervene in an American election, the one transgression our Founding Fathers feared most. Even now that he's covered in disgrace as only the third president in our history to be impeached, it's all they've got left.After all, they can't say Trump didn't ask the president of Ukraine to investigate his likely political opponent, because Trump admit

Reasons that are apparent in Utah and becoming more so.Those Forbes magazine and other surveys that rank states by their business friendliness (Utah has been first and now is third) are openly based on things like a permissive regulatory environment and low levels of corporate or individual income taxes, especially f

  Once common in the Rocky Mountain West, trumpeter swans have been a rare sight for more than a century after hunters blasted them from the sky to cash in on their skins and plumage, then in demand for women’s hats and other accessories.Now the bird, North America’s largest and the world’s heaviest capable of flight, is coming back strong in parts of its historic range, thanks to reintroductions and prohibitions on hunting them.

Once inside, he caused an estimated $5,000 in damage.That’s substantial destruction. The church may have to set up a special fund asking members for donations to cover the repairs or put together a service project. (Gotta

  It is time for term limits. Recent polls indicate approval of Congress is just 24%. Tribal warfare between the two parties is at a modern-times high. Something has to change. Term limits could make huge difference in the way the House and Senate operate.Currently, members of our House of Representatives spend as much as 50 percent of their time in their two-year terms “dialing for dollars” for their respective party. They are also preoccupied with fundraising for their own campaigns

• Letter: What we could do with $100 billion

  29-12-2019 14:00
  
  Like most people, I have a hard time comprehending exactly what $100 billion looks like. Just $1 billion equals $1,000 million. That is still a bigger number than I can understand. So I measured it in electric cars.Turns out, just $1 billion equals a little more than 33,000 modestly priced electric cars (at $30,000 a pop). This in turn means that $100 billion equals 3 million electric cars. In 2017, there were 2.3 million vehicles registered in Utah.Now I am not suggesting the LDS Church replace
