Sharon Marquette is DC's finest madam and Olivia Pope's latest client. That's why she has her team swipe all incriminating material from Sharon's house before Assistant U.S. Attorney David Rosen can raid the place. The primary item he wants is Sharon's client list which is safely hidden in her family photo albums. Stephen also had a previous relationship with this woman, as he was one of her clients. This tidbit doesn't make Abby happy.
Olivia gives Keating the scoop about the DC madam in front of his wife. He's listed as meeting a call girl named Stacey on several occasions, but the judge denies this and his wife agrees that her husband did nothing wrong. Olivia eventually realizes that the Stacey they are looking for has been right in front of them the whole time. It's Keating's wife, Claire! She met Patrick after being stood up by a client on her first night of work for Sharon Marquette. He had no idea what she did for a living as they began a relationship and the money she made from her work put him through law school.
Jibral Disah is the ex-leader of the terrorist group Hizb Al-Shahid. He is killed by Murphy Station. One of his wives is Hijriyyah Al-Bouri, who plays an important role in Disah's death. He also is the brains behind the dirty bomb attack in Season 2.
There will always be politicians who play dirty, who see the current leader as an enemy of democracy because they don't like his or her policies, and who are in Washington to interfere with the process instead of to participate in it.
Rep. Huffman highlighted how approving the dirty, expensive tar sands pipeline could undo the progress our country has made in its leadership on climate change, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and clean energy job creation.
Marsh also played dirty, relying on information from oil lobbyists in his pipeline report. This leads us to question just exactly what he was doing with oil lobbyists, and how these relationships were tied to his own Venezuelan corporation.
It's a dirty story of a dirty man,
And his clinging wife doesn't understand.
His son is working for the Daily Mail,
It's a steady job,
But he wants to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
Now, one particular context in which you might need to address a woman, but not know her name is a brothel. The woman who organises the prostitutes doesn't give her name (after all, brothels are illegal) and so she is addressed as "madam" and as a common noun, "a madam" can mean a woman who runs a brothel. This doesn't make it offensive. You can say "Thank you, madam" without implying that she is like a brothel keeper.
Advice: Try to avoid "sir" and "madam" as much as possible. This is difficult culturally because in some cultures it is over-familiar to use someone's name. This is not the case in English. If you know someone's name you should normally use it. Even in contexts in which you would not use a name in your language.
This is like the generic sir for men, e.g. "May I help you, [madam/sir]?" Madam is more common in British English than American English, where you'd typically see/hear ma'am (Merriam-Webster) instead (the d that used to be there is neither written nor pronounced in American English).
If used in a belittling way to indicate someone is acting as though they were superior to others. I recall hearing a British woman say to her young daughter, "You're behaving like a right little madam!" to mean that her daughter was acting stuck up (Merriam-Webster).
Madam has always been used as a title of address for fully adult, even mature women (at least that is the normal usage). Thus when young women, used to being called "Miss" or in many cases given no title at all started to be addressed as "Madam", some considered it as a sign that they were no longer young, and resented it. The use of "madam" is probably no longer common enough for this reaction, but it was once a thing.
Using madam where you would say a job is the brothel owner meaning: "a madam", or "is a madam". From a quick search of headlines "a former call girl, as well as a madam and author", and "Notorious Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss".
But using madam as a title or pronoun is fine. "I met madam Smith" is safe, or "madam, that is a lovely brooch" or simply "madam" instead of saying hello (like "your highness"). This use is much more common. If someone overheard just the word "madam" they'd never think about the other meaning.
in French, une madame is the name given to a female brothel keeper.When used without the article as in Madame Dupont or Monsieur et Madame Dupont the title becomes purely conventional and would be translated in English as Mrs.
Baker appeared in court sporting conservative baby-blue trousers, and a bookish paisley vest over a filmy beige blouse. Her hair has been darkened to dirty blond from the strawberry blond of her first court appearance.
The police officers forced their way into the room. The first thing that hit them was the smell: an overpowering stench of faeces and rotting meat. Through the darkness they saw her lying on a straw mattress on the floor. A skeletal woman, naked except for a dirty bed sheet, with black hair grown down to her thighs, and long curved nails and toenails. Surrounding her was a crust of old food, excrement, insects and vermin. This was Blanche Monnier, 52 years old.
Blanche was taken to a hospital. Although dirty and painfully thin at just 25 kilos (55 lbs), there was no immediate physical danger to her life. Her mental condition was another matter. It was to be expected that she would be suffering from mental trauma after years of isolation and neglect but there was more to it than that. In the words of the time, Blanche was mad.
Heidi -- who was famously the Hollywood madam of choice for Charlie Sheen and a bunch of other celebs -- hooked up with Judy Bailey-Savage and lived with her at her home in Temecula, CA.
Isabel attends a service at the Anglican church with Madam where the minister prays for King George and the royal family. Lady Seymour has encouraged Madam to get out of the house. At the end of the service, a boy bursts in to announce that the British are in the harbor. A crowd runs into the streets as muskets and cannons are fired and chaos ensues. Ruth suffers a small seizure and cannot walk, so Isabel carries her when Madam insists they keep moving. Lady Seymour is kind and understanding. Back at home, Isabel and Ruth do washing, but Ruth wants to wash dirty rocks. When Madam sees Ruth adding rocks to the tub with the tablecloths, Isabel knows that they must escape soon.
Politicians can do dirty things when they are planning on running for President. Senator Carathers wanted to tear down Elizabeth for his own gain. She was only the biggest piece in solving what happened to Marsh and uncovering the coup. He wanted to tear down the government and reveal truths that really had already been told.
October 31, 2022 Dear Sir or Madam,Again, I do not feel that my voice will be heard. A retail investor, waiting for my failure that is inevitable. Why? Because I do not see the SEC being able to/ being allowed to do their job.It has been shown over the past few years (DECADES) that if you, the SEC, is not/does not do something about the failure of our markets - you are simply part of the failure. By NOT showing retail/investors shares on loan/sold short/borrowed to cover FTD/any other reason - investors do not have the adequate data to make realistic investments. IF short selling is being over utilized (brutalized in forcing a company out of business - but no data to show?) and creating more shares than should be in existence - this is FRAUD. Technical analysis is not applicable due to hidden negative impacts. Positive buying pressure added to dark pools/internalization should be illegal (isn't it already?) - loss of price discovery is in fact, loss of free and fair markets.By not having transparency across multiple aspects of the market system has created a market system that is reliant on obfuscation to those that are outside of the \"self-regulated\" family. I feel that the retail investor is being hung out to dry by parties that are less than moral, theft is happening in many aspects of our market (legal according the you, the watchdog for retail), with no recourse for \"We the People\".Parties that make dirty bets, force companies into poor positions for leveraged buyout or bankruptcies, or deal with/in international markets - steal from retail investors with pfof/ftds/swaps/shorts - but are made whole when they fail by tax payers...the same people they stole from in the first place.Maybe I am incorrect in my assumptions. Maybe I am incorrect in my feel of being ripped off, again and again.But, for the life of me, I can't see the data to support that I am incorrect.Free and Fair. Open and transparent.Please help bring the market back to where it should be. Fundamentals of business, not the bets of what should be considered \"financial terrorists\".Stand up to the politicians that want to keep the market behind closed doors. Stand up to the financial institution that says it will be bad for their business (that means they NEED the market to be hidden - that should be telling, at least to someone like me it is).Anyway, best of luck.See if you can get the trust back into the system. Because right now, there isn't much there.
Even so, when public drunkenness reached epidemic proportions, the laws passed treated the common man much more harshly than the country-estate tippler. Certainly gin advocates recognized this disparity, claiming that the laws specifically targeted the poor and dirty, while Sir Drink-A-Lot and Lord Sousebury went unpunished. When personal rights are abridged in the name of the public good, conflict usually ensues, and gin-soaked London was no exception. Every time the government attempted to regulate the gin trade, plebeians rioted in the streets, preachers thundered in pulpits and pamphlets, and, in back-alley dram shops, things continued much as they had before.
