David Tennant To Reunite With Catherine Tate In 'Doctor Who' Audiobooks
By Ed Biggs in Movies / TV / Theatre on 26 October 2015
Doctor Who David Tennant Catherine Tate
The pair starred in the ever-popular BBC sci-fi series from 2006 to 2010, and will reprise their roles in three audio productions for Big Finish next year.
David Tennant is set to play 'Doctor Who' once again – only he'll be returning in a series of audio dramas, rather than on television.
The 44 year old Scottish actor, who played the tenth incarnation of the Doctor from 2005 to 2010, will be reunited with his on-screen assistant Catherine Tate, who once again plays the Doctor's companion Donna Noble.
Tennant proved to be a hugely popular Doctor Who, taking over from Christopher Eccleston who helped re-boot the series the year before. He was last seen in the 50th anniversary special in 2013, briefly reprising his take on the regenerating timelord.

Nativity 3: Dude Where's My Donkey?! Review
By Rich Cline
There are so many plot holes in this silly British holiday sequel that the script hardly seems to exist at all. As in the previous two Nativity! movies, the emphasis is on Christmas wackiness, with inane set pieces designed only to keep small children giggling. Writer-director Debbie Isitt clearly isn't interested in connecting these scenes together into something more than vaguely coherent, asking us to just go with it. And if you can do that, you might have some fun with this.
Once again, it's all change at St. Bernadette's School in Coventry. This time there's a new headmistress in the humourless, astonishingly unobservant Mrs Keen (Celia Imrie). She sensibly sacks the dopey teaching assistant Mr Poppy (Marc Wootton) and instead hires "super-teacher" Mr Shepherd (Martin Clunes), who immediately gets rid of Poppy's donkey, the class mascot. In the process though, Shepherd takes a blow to the head and loses his memory, which is a problem because he's due to get married to Sophie (Catherine Tate) in New York. So Shepherd's daughter Lauren (Lauren Hobbs) teams up with Poppy to get the kids into a flashmob competition that culminates with a final round in, of course, Manhattan. The problem is that the competition is being organised by Sophie's preening ex Bradley (Adam Garcia), who wants her back.
Issitt keeps the film moving at such a hyperactive pace that there's barely time to notice that nothing about this story makes any sense. But before we can say, "Wait a minute!" the film has already lurched into a corny slapstick sequence or a big musical number performed with screechy karaoke-style authenticity. Although the songs are packed with clever hooks and repeated so many times that they're impossible to get out of our heads. Oddly, the children are sidelined in this movie, appearing at random for a bit of cacophonous mayhem or another pastiche holiday number. Only Hobbs registers as a character.

Nativity 3 Shows That Silly Franchises Can Survive, Even Among Its Serious Counterparts
By Rich Cline in Movies / TV / Theatre on 14 November 2014
Martin Clunes Catherine Tate
With the recent release of 'Nativity 3: Dude, Where's My Donkey?!', it appears that certain film franchises can survive.
Not all franchises are created equal. The release of 'Nativity 3: Dude, Where's My Donkey?!' shows that sometimes audiences just want a bit of silly escapism rather than more ambitious attempts to wow us with effects and bigger/better plotlines.
Martin Clunes stars alongside Catherine Tate and Marc Wootton
This certainly isn't unprecedented: other thoroughly silly franchises include 'Alvin and the Chipmunks' (3 movies), 'Spy Kids' (4), 'Step Up' (5), 'Scary Movie' (5) and 'Tyler Perry's Medea' (7 and counting). And an argument could be made for including 'The Expendables' (3 and counting) on this list.

Nativity 3: Dude Where's My Donkey? Trailer
Mr. Shepherd is the new teacher at St Bernadette's Catholic School in Coventry who is eager to propose to his friend Sophie, to the delight of his young daughter who wants so badly to have a new mother by Christmas. Meanwhile, the school has also gained a new headmistress, Mrs. Keen, who deeply disapproves of the school's favourite teacher - the ever child-like Mr. Poppy - and their pet donkey Archie. The latter pet-peeve is probably for a good reason as soon enough, Mr. Shepherd finds himself deeply concussed after being kicked by Archie, completely forgetting who he is, where he is, where Archie is and, more importantly, that he's soon to be married on Christmas Eve in New York. Mr. Poppy and the class decide to band together to get him to his bride by joining a flash mob, where the top prize is a trip to the Big Apple. Will the class succeed in their latest endeavour and make this Christmas the best yet?

Khumba Review
When this South African animated adventure embraces its unique setting and characters, it's visually stunning and a lot of fun. But it also tries to force everything into a trite Hollywood formula, unnecessarily adding clunky songs, goofy comedy sidekicks and big action set-pieces. Still, there's enough fresh storytelling and lively humour to keep us engaged, and some spectacular animation too.
It's set in the Great Karoo desert, where a herd of zebras has fenced off its own watering hole. But as a drought sets in, bullied half-striped zebra Khumba (voiced by Jake T. Austin) becomes worried about the animals outside. When he hears about a mythical pond that can restore his stripes and supply water to everyone, he leaves his best pal Tombi (AnnaSophia Robb) to take an epic trek across the desert. Along the way he picks up a variety of goofy travelling companions, including a hyena (Steve Buscemi), buffalo (Loretta Devine) and ostrich (Richard E. Grant). But he's also hunted by the vicious half-blind leopard Phango (Liam Neeson), who blames Khumba for his own hot-tempered misfortunes.
The animators far surpass the simplistic script with imagery that takes the breath away, from expansive landscapes to cleverly designed characters. And as the wacky sidekicks continually try to push the film over into slapstick silliness, the startlingly violent Phango reminds us of the darker side of nature as well as some deeper African cultural issues. This mix sometimes feels jarring, but that works in the film's favour. As do some inspired comical gags involving, for instance, a nutty sheep (Catherine Tate), a gang of hilariously agreeable meerkats and a herd of dumb-jock springboks.

Can 'Khumba' Earn Those Stripes? Let The Sub-Saharan Adventure Begin! [Trailer + Pictures]
By Jack de Aguilar in Movies / TV / Theatre on 10 October 2013
Steve Buscemi Liam Neeson Laurence Fishburne Richard E. Grant Jake T. Austin Catherine Tate
Check out the colourful trailer below
When Khumba – a zebra with a lack of markings – is born into a superstitious herd, his fellow species think it's a bad sign. And, much to young Khumba's detriment, a potentially deadly drought soon follows his birth. But instead of letting his fellow zebras vilify him, he attempts to find a watering hole.
Hey, it's Khumba
In doing so, he meets a wide range of brilliantly funny, scary and loyal characters along way. There's Phango, the dangerous leopard who controls the waterholes and terrorizes the animals in the Great Karoo, played by Liam Neeson.

Khumba Trailer
Khumba is a young zebra who was born missing half of his stripes. Following his birth, there came a deadly drought threatening the survival of the herd and killing his mother. To his superstitious peers and his father, Khumba's unusual appearance is an extremely bad omen and he is eventually driven to run away from the herd to find water and acceptance elsewhere, leaving his only friend in Great Karoo, Tombi. On his travels, he meets a motherly wildebeest named Mama V and her wacky friend Bradley the Ostrich who are willing to travel with him and protect him from the ills of the wild, namely Phango the Leopard whose presence is a threat to every other creature in Great Karoo. He also meets Mantis, who reveals a map that could lead them to a waterhole - or will it instead lead Khumba to find his stripes?
'Khumba' is a heart-warming animated flick about that timeless message of accepting people's differences. It has been directed by Anthony Silverston in first direction, who co-wrote the screenplay alongside previous writing partner Raffaella Delle Donne ('Zambezia'). It was nominated for a Cristal award for best feature at the 2013 Annecy International Animated Film Festival and has already been released in the US.

Email alias
An email alias is simply a forwarding email address. The term alias expansion is sometimes used to indicate a specific mode of email forwarding, thereby implying a more generic meaning of the term email alias as an address that is forwarded in a simplistic fashion.[1]
2 Control issue
3 Abuse issue
Usage[edit]
Email aliases can be created on a mail server. The mail server simply forwards email messages addressed to an email alias on to another, the specified email address. An email alias may be used to create a simple replacement for a long or difficult-to-remember email address. It can also be used to create a generic email address such as webmaster@example.com and info@example.com.
On UNIX-like systems, email aliases may be placed into the file /etc/aliases and have the form:
local-alias-name: adifferentlocaluser, anotherlocaluser, an@external.user.example.com
Control issue[edit]
Messages forwarded through an email alias retain the original SMTP envelope sender and recipient. If the message is a blind carbon copy, the recipient can only tell whether the message was forwarded through the alias by examining the message headers. However, the standard does not mandate mentioning the envelope recipient in the headers. Therefore, recipients of a message may not be able to recover what email address has been used by the sender to eventually deliver the message to their mailbox.
Recipients who cannot trace what address the sender used are unable to ask the sender to stop sending, because the sender most likely will not be able to associate their current email address with the one used for sending. Even if users are able to learn the exact address used for sending, their mail client may not provide a convenient way to submit a reply using the latter as the sender address of the response. In other words, aliasing is not reversible. This is particularly relevant in opt-out situations where the sender does not provide a reliable mechanism in the body of the message. Typically, newsletters sent to undisclosed recipients can be sent submitting the body once along with a list of recipients, which is much less resource intensive than submitting a different body for each recipient. However, if VERP or BATV are being used (e.g. to prevent email backscatter), the electronic mailing list software will send individual messages to each recipient with a different SMTP FROM address.
Abuse issue[edit]
The recipient's SMTP server sees only the forwarding system's IP address. In general it has no reason to trust the Received: headerfield generated by the forwarding system and does not know the originating system's IP address. Therefore, recipients cannot reliably distinguish spam to the alias address from spam generated on the forwarding system. When a recipient reports a message to his ISP as spam, the ISP credits that spam to the forwarding system. ISPs with low abuse thresholds may begin blocking email from the forwarding system.
^ RFC 5321 defines alias expansion as opposed to the list expansion of mailing lists, noting that the replacement of the address to whom bounce messages are returned makes a key difference. An email alias is different from a contact group, or distribution list. According to Microsoft, a contact group is "a grouping of e-mail addresses collected under one name. A message sent to a contact group goes to all recipients listed in the group."

The lords of Gruuthuse (Heren van Gruuthuse, also Gruythuyse; also "lords of Bruges", Heren van Brugge) were one of the noble families of Bruges in the medieval period.
It was one of several families bearing the title of "lords of Bruges" (Heren van Brugge)
Their heraldic motto was Plus est en vous – Meer is in u ("there is more in you").

The family emerges in the 13th century, and its male line is extinct in 1572.
Its most notable member was Lodewijk van Gruuthuse (1422 – 1492). They held several titles like Lord of Gruuthuse, Prince of Steenhuijs and Earl of Winchester.

Geldolf III van Brugge en van Gruuthuse (1265/70 –  c. 1335)

With Geldolf III, the male line of the family was extinct; however, a  daughter of Geldolf II, Catharina (or Maria, or Anna) van Brugge (1265/70 – c. 1320) married one van der Aa, likely Geerard van der Aa, lord of Grimbergen (1260–1310), and her heirs continued to bear the van Gruuthuse name, alongside the van der Aa one.

Jan I van Gruuthuse en van der Aa (1290/1295 – c. 1360) x 1) Catharina van Steelant  2) Margaretha van Dudzele
Jan II van Gruuthuse en van der Aa (1335/40 – c. 1400) x Isabelle de Looz Agimont

House Democrats Rally Behind Embattled Tlaib [incl. Omar Suleiman]
by Susan Ferrechio
https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/58494/house-democrats-rally-behind-embattled-tlaib-incl
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has denounced GOP criticism of Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who drew backlash over her comments about the creation of Israel.
Pelosi joined Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., who earlier Monday called on Republicans to apologize.
"Republicans' desperate attempts to smear @RepRashida and misrepresent her comments are outrageous," the speaker said on Twitter. "President Trump and the House GOP should apologize to Rep. Tlaib and the American people for their gross misrepresentations."
Republicans have called on Democrats to take action against Tlaib, who claimed Palestinians are responsible for creating a safe haven for Jews.
"There's kind of a calming feeling I always tell folks when I think of the Holocaust, and the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the fact that it was my ancestors, Palestinians, who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence in many ways, have been wiped out, and some people's passports," Tlaib said on the Yahoo News podcast "Skullduggery."
Republican Conference Chairwoman and Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney called the remarks "sickening," saying Democrats must do more to deal with a pattern of behavior by lawmakers that could be viewed as anti-Semitic.
Democrats came under fire last week after inviting Imam Omar Suleiman to deliver the opening prayer in the chamber. Suleiman has made anti-Semitic remarks and called for the destruction of Israel.
Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar has been criticized several times over anti-Semitic remarks and tweets, leading to a watered-down House floor rebuke. But Democrats are standing behind Tlaib.
"It's clear this is now the norm for their caucus," Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., said in a statement, calling Tlaib's remarks "vile."
But Hoyer said the comments were taken out of context.
"If you read Rep. @RashidaTlaib's comments, it is clear that President Trump and Congressional Republicans are taking them out of context," Hoyer tweeted Monday. "They must stop, and they owe her an apology."

Controlling Terrestrial Invasive Plants with Grazing Animals
Hiawatha Valley Resource Conservation & Development, Inc.
Terrestrial invasive plants such as buckthorn, wild parsnip, garlic mustard, and others are becoming widespread threats throughout many sites in Minnesota. Present chemical and mechanical control methods tend to be costly, effective only in the short-term, or have other negative environmental impacts. However, an alternative practice of using grazing animals for invasive species management is used successfully in many parts of the western United States.
DNR Grassland Enhancement Ph X
This programmatic request will build on the DNR's previous efforts to enhance and restore grasslands, prairies, and savannas. We will use the Prairie Conservation Plan and Pheasant Summit Action Plan to guide these efforts in a strategic and targeted manner. This proposal will work on a number of types of permanently protected habitats, most of which are open to public hunting, including; DNR WMAs, SNAs, AMAs, Prairie Bank Easements, State Forests, as well as USFWS WPAs and Refuges.
DNR WMA and SNA Acquisition - Phase IX
Acquire 960 acres of high priority habitat for designation as Wildlife Management Area (Prairie Planning Section) or Scientific and Natural Area (Prairie and SE Forest Planning Sections) emphasizing Prairie Conservation Plan implementation and coordination with partners. All lands will be open for public hunting and fishing (where applicable). WMA accomplishment is based on $5,000 per acre and should be considered a minimum estimate.
DNR Grassland Phase VI
Restoration and Enhancement of Prairie on WMA's, SNA's, AMA's and Native Prairie Banks in Minnesota.
Restoration and Enhancement of Bluff Prairies on State Forest Land in Southeast Minnesota.
DNR Grassland - Phase 8
We propose continued efforts to restore and enhance prairies, grasslands, and savannas on state protected lands (WMA, SNA, Native Prairie Bank) as well as on bluff prairies on State Forest lands in southeastern Minnesota.
Imperiled Prairie Butterfly Conservation, Research and Breeding Program
With only 1% of Minnesota's native prairie remaining, many prairie plant and animal species have dramatically declined. Of the 12 butterfly species native to Minnesota prairies, two species, the Poweshiek skipperling and the Dakota skipper, have already largely disappeared from the state and are proposed for listing under the U.S. Endangered Species Act despite being historically among the most common prairie butterflies and having their historic ranges concentrated in Minnesota.
Linking Habitat Restoration to Bioenergy and Local Economies
Southeast Minnesota Protection and Restoration Phase 6
The Nature Conservancy; The Trust for Public Land; Minnesota Land Trust
This project will permanently protect critical habitat using conservation easements and fee land acquisition on approximately 590 acres and restore and enhance approximately 116 acres of declining habitat for species of greatest conservation need in strategically targeted public land assets of biodiversity significance in the Blufflands resulting in increased public access and improved habitat.
State Trail Acquisition
Project Overview Minnesota, which was recently named "Best Trails State" in the country, is host to numerous state trails providing a variety of different outdoor recreational opportunities throughout the state. This appropriation is allowing the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to acquire land expanding two of these state trails: the Brown's Creek segment of the Willard Munger Trail in Washington County and the Paul Bunyan Trail along Lake Bemidji.
Zumbro River Watershed Restoration Prioritization
Zumbro Watershed Partnership
OVERALL PROJECT OUTCOME AND RESULTS
This project identified and prioritized areas in the Zumbro River Watershed that were determined critical for restoring and protecting water quality. Studies suggested that small areas of the landscape contribute disproportionately to nonpoint source pollution. So implementation of conservation projects that focus on those areas will maximize water quality benefits and ensure efficient use of resources.


Jawahar Lal University (JNU) professor and the winner of Infosys Prize 2018 Kavita Singh landed here, only to get to know that her leave application to attend the award ceremony was rejected by the JNU vice-chancellor. Reacting to the development, she said things at the university were "comically bad".
Speaking after receiving the award, Singh thanked the JNU, where she has been teaching for 17 years, and said until recently, it was "a very congenial and supportive place".
"We never had much money or facilities, but we had excellent colleagues and academic freedom. Today, things are bad; things are comically bad in my institutional home.
"How bad you may ask? After I came to Bengaluru, I checked my e-mail and found that the leave application I had put in to come here and receive the award had been rejected by my vice-chancellor. So please be warned that my presence on this stage today is illegitimate," she said.
She received the Infosys Science Prize for her study of Mughal, Rajput and Deccan art. Singh's work shows the significance of museums in highlighting the social impact of art and thereby, relates visual culture to large contemporary questions of secularity, modernity and political conflict.

Puerto Rico was also shut out in the Classic final for the second straight time, having been blanked by the Dominican Republic in 2013, 3-0, at AT&T Park. But despite the disappointment in defeat, the team remained on the field to embrace players from the victorious U.S. squad, congratulating them on their country's first Classic championship.
:: 2017 World Baseball Classic ::
"Well, the feeling is a mixed feeling, obviously. We went out today to win the championship, but we were unable to do so," said Puerto Rico manager Edwin Rodriguez. "We lost against a great team, the United States. But we are very satisfied that we were able to go 7-1. ... And I see that there is much hope with this group, with these young players. I believe that the foundations are set, and in the three or four Classics ahead, we will win it."
Puerto Rico's star-studded lineup included a core of young MLB stars who could well be anchors in the team's lineup for future Classics, including Astros shortstop Carlos Correa, Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor and Cubs second baseman Javier Baez.
That trio went a combined 0-for-11 in the championship game against dominant U.S. pitching -- particularly starter Marcus Stroman, who didn't surrender a hit until the seventh inning. But overall, each had a strong Classic.
Not the results we wanted but what an incredible experience to represent PR! Something that I'm very proud of and will never forget! 🇵🇷
— Seth Lugo (@seth_lugo) March 23, 2017
Correa, the 2015 American League Rookie of the Year Award winner, hit .333 (8-for-24) with a double and three home runs in the tournament. The 22-year-old also dazzled at third base, a position he had never played professionally entering the Classic.
"It's the most fun I've ever had playing baseball," Correa said. "These two weeks were amazing with this team. It's like a brotherhood, like a family. ... We ran into a great pitching performance by Stroman and a very good team tonight. But we have a great team with great players and we will be back."
Lindor, 23, followed up a World Series appearance with the Indians by hitting .370 (10-for-27) while playing a stellar shortstop in the Classic.
Baez, fresh off the Cubs' first World Series title in 108 years, made spectacular plays in the field and on the basepaths during WBC 2017. He also hit .296 (8-for-27) with a double and a homer.
The youngsters weren't the only ones to shine for Puerto Rico in WBC 2017. The Astros' Carlos Beltran, who has played in all four Classics for his native country, hit .435 (10-for-23). And the Cardinals' Yadier Molina, also participating in his fourth Classic, hit .333 (8-for-24) with a pair of homers en route to a unanimous selection to the all-WBC Team.
Molina also dazzled behind the plate, accounting for two outs in the first inning of Puerto Rico's semifinal against the Netherlands by throwing behind Andrelton Simmons and Jurickson Profar. Molina's passion was evident throughout the tournament, as the sight of him pumping his fists after making a big play became commonplace during Puerto Rico's winning streak.
"Up until tonight, they played better baseball than anybody in the tournament," U.S. manager Jim Leyland said of Team Puerto Rico. "Tonight, in a must-win situation for both teams, we played better."
Puerto Rico has come closer to winning a World Baseball Classic championship without actually doing so, more than any other team. But with a young core of stars and undiminished passion, expect Team Puerto Rico to be back in this position with an eye on finally capturing the title in Classics to come.

The Sopwith Biplane F. 1 was developed from the Sopwith Pup. It was a snub nosed, hump backed little biplane with staggered single bay wings. Its lower wing had a pronounced dihedral, which contrasted with the flat top wing and accentuated the fuselage hump, which housed the breeches of two Vickers .303 machine guns. This hump was how the F.1 became known as the Camel.
The success of the Camel was due to its outstanding maneuverability which resulted from the concentration of all its masses within a small area of fuselage. The engine, guns, pilot, and fuel were all located within seven feet of fuselage length. The Camel's sensitivity to the controls made it the supreme dog fighting airplane of World War I. More enemy aircraft (1,294) were shot down by the Camel than any other single type aircraft.
The print depicts Camel D9649 which was the aircraft usually flown by David Ingalls. It was one of one hundred built by the firm of Clayton & Shuttleworth.

Longtime Degage Ministries director to retire, new leader named
Executive Director Marge Palmerlee will retire effective this month.

Degage Ministries longtime Executive Director, Marge Palmerlee retires.
GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan — Downtown Grand Rapids homeless shelter Dégagé Ministries announced that longtime Executive Director Marge Palmerlee will retire effective this month.
Thelma Ensink has been named to succeed Palmerlee as Executive Director and has already begun working in her new role.
Palmerlee's influence can be felt in nearly every aspect of the Heartside community. For more than 20 years, she has fought to advocate for those without a voice.
Palmerlee joined Dégagé 27 years ago, first as a volunteer and then as Executive Director for 23 years. She has shaped Dégagé Ministries into the organization it is today by encouraging staff and volunteers to create and offer programs that first and foremost foster dignity and respect for every patron.
Under her leadership, the organization has grown to serve more than 500 people each day, employs 50 staff and has a budget of $2M. One of her most significant contributions to the Heartside community is the Open Door Women's Center (Open Door), which she spearheaded in 2003, at a time when safe overnight crisis services were not readily available for women. Since then, more than 4,800 women have stayed at the Open Door and numerous women have been relocated into sustainable housing as well.
Over the years, Palmerlee has tirelessly advocated for issues affecting the most vulnerable in Grand Rapids such as panhandling and shelter for those struggling with drug addiction and mental health, among others, and has worked to promote dignity for all people. She has worked on countless committees and boards addressing a variety of needs within the Heartside community, seeking to collaborate with both business and nonprofit leaders, to make an impact on Dégagé's patrons and the community at large.
Palmerlee's greatest accomplishment is leaving Dégagé positioned to meet the needs of patrons well into the future with the organization's $6.7M capital expansion project, "Building Dignity through Christ". Fundraising for the expansion and renovation project has already reached more than $4.7M and construction has begun.
"It has truly been an honor and a privilege to be a part of Dégagé Ministries," Palmerlee said. "As I reflect on the past 23 years, I stand in awe at all the people God has brought together to further His kingdom. I have had the joy of working with courageous board members, compassionate staff, committed donors, and faithful volunteers. But it is the amazing patrons we serve who inspire me every day! Words cannot describe the blessings I have received knowing we have walked this journey together, obediently following the Lord's leading. It is a joy working with bold staff who dare to dream big dreams and step out in faith to make them happen".
New director brings heart for the vulnerable
Thelma Ensink new director of Degage Ministries.
Thelma Ensink was selected to be Dégagé's new executive director. After an extensive search, she begins her role at an important time in the organization's history as Dégagé seeks to address increased community needs.
Ensink brings a wealth of leadership experience with her to the executive role, most recently in positions with Grandville Calvin Christian Schools. Most notable about Ensink is her passion to walk alongside the marginalized, which began when she was a young girl growing up in South Africa during apartheid and continued when she immigrated to the United States and worked as a paramedic in Grand Rapids for American Medical Response.
It was her work as a paramedic that first introduced her to the patrons at Dégagé. Other careers, including managing a rural Ionia County medical practice, developing curriculum programs for students and cofounding Ambassador High School, continued to highlight the needs of those in poverty for Ensink. It is these experiences, as well as her faith, that led her to Dégagé.
"God's been moving my heart to work directly with the most vulnerable people in our community," Ensink noted. "I've been fortunate to have leadership opportunities in a variety of areas, and personal experiences that have taught me to see all people as created in the image of God, filled with gifts and the potential to positively impact their community. I couldn't be more excited to begin walking alongside the patrons who are served by Dégagé and continue Marge's and the Dégagé team's work to make sure all have a place where they feel safe and can experience dignity and respect."
Ensink received her undergraduate degree from Calvin University and her master's degree from Grand Valley State University. She also serves on the Board of Directors of Safe Haven Ministries and is a certified trainer for the International Institute for Restorative Practices.
"I am so pleased that Thelma Ensink has been chosen to carry on the mission of Dégagé," Palmerlee added. "Faith is the foundation upon which this ministry is built, and I am confident that Thelma will continue that heritage. She shares my values and commitment to keeping Christ at the center of this ministry".

We sit in the second story of Doutor coffee, my boyfriend and I. He's wearing his leather jacket which otherwise has been claimed as my leather jacket. Today is his day to wear it, I'm in my one piece pajamas patterned in naked and bikini clad smiling ladies that look like Kardashians with blue and green hair. I have the best view. I often think about, and envy, the advantages of being a man, one of the few of womanhood is the ability to request the best seat, the inner seat, the booth seat, the seat with the view. I can look out the nearly wall-sized window into the new quaint and Disney-like neighborhood we reside in. Across the street is our preferred coffee shop that we can't afford to go due to budgetary restriction. It's extra four-hundred yen per coffee buys the comfort of individuality, comfortable seating, the ambience of sipping pour-over coffee that takes too long to make while being part of the class of old ladies who lunch on white bread triangle sandwiches. The coffee here tastes like gasoline, it's two-hundred and seventy yen for a medium size, I don't like it much. But the view is nice. Someday soon I'll be over there at that nice coffee shop, I think to myself.
It's cloudy and we slept in until two PM for the first time in a month. I woke up at seven, took half a melatonin to shut my mind off from the same drudgery of thoughts that have haunted me since our decision to move to Japan. Although neither of us were happy in Seoul, it was ultimately my decision to come here, to leave our beautiful apartment that we turned into our home, and say farewell to the security of a job that he hated and was sucking his soul into the dirt. Waking up next to his sleeping body I find myself in the same web of torment, wondering if we made the right decision, distrought and unsure how to give back to him all that he has given to me. The life of the privileged immigrants known as expats, looking for work, struggling for visas, to escape perfectly nice countries that just don't seem to fit. I'm probably still lucky, I guess.
Seems like getting modeling visa in Japan is hellish. Midwest cities in usa are fantastic places to live.
But thanks for loving Japan. Student visa allows 28 hours of work per week & also the tuition in Japan is considerably cheaper than america. Professional skills allow permanent visa within 5 years.

Paws and Learn does not recommend keeping reptiles as pets for a variety of reasons. Reptiles living with all but the most experienced caregivers are likely to suffer an early, inhumane death due to poor care. They are the only animals kept in captivity that do not typically reach or surpass their normal lifespan. The pet reptile industry contributes to depleted wildlife populations, damages ecosystems, and also poses a health risk to humans.
Depending on the species, reptiles are either bred from wild-caught parents or captured directly from the wild. Wild-caught reptiles are typically grabbed from their environment and put in a bag with many others like it. They are kept like this for quite some time with no care as they're transported, and the process is so stressful that approximately 50% die in transit. Those that manage to survive often arrive at the pet store with injuries or a weakened immune system. They're then housed with other animals and are exposed to their diseases. Approximately 90% of the wild-caught reptiles die within 1 year of being kept as a pet. This is due to a combination of factors, including trauma from being captured, stress from an unnatural lifestyle, and poor care from inexperienced owners. Several species, like North American box turtles, are being caught at a faster rate than they are capable of reproducing, resulting in depleted and endangered populations.
It is a myth, often perpetuated by unknowledgeable pet store employees, that reptiles are ideal for those looking for a low maintenance pet. Reptiles have very specific environmental and dietary needs that are extremely difficult to replicate in captivity, even when they are born to captive-bred parents. In the wild, reptiles can vary their diet as they crave different nutrients. The diets they're offered as pets are often too simple for long-term nutrition and growth, and as a result many suffer a slow death from nutritional deficiencies. It's unrealistic to think an aquarium can adequately replicate the natural conditions they're accustomed to experiencing, even with artificial lighting, heat lamps and water filters. Wild reptiles rarely come into contact with their feces and uneaten food, and this exposure in an aquarium makes them susceptible to infections. It's extremely difficult to tell when a reptile is sick, and many veterinarians have little or no experience caring for them. Crocodilians, like caimans and alligators, are commonly purchased as babies yet rarely survive to adulthood when kept as a pet. Few people realize that most lizards, frogs and snakes should live a minimum of 10 years with proper care, and many species live several decades.
For those reptiles fortunate enough to receive proper care, many species become dangerous or difficult to care for as an adult. Water turtles can live for several decades, and tortoises can live 100 + years, easily outliving their owners and requiring multiple dedicated caregivers throughout their lifetime. Iguanas can grow to be 5-6 feet long within 5 years, and pythons can grow over 15 feet and 150 pounds, capable of killing humans and especially small children.
As many as 90% of reptiles are natural carriers of Salmonella bacteria and don't show sign of illness. It can be transmitted to humans through direct contact like handling, or indirect contact such as touching contaminated surfaces in the home. Young children, pregnant women, the elderly and those who are ill are especially susceptible to infection.
When owners find themselves unable or unwilling to care fortheir reptile any longer, it's often very difficult to find them a new home. Most shelters are ill-equipped to handle the special care they require so they are often euthanized upon intake. Pet reptiles should never be released to the wild because they often die of starvation or exposure, and if they survive they can introduce new diseases and parasites to the native population and easily unbalance the local ecosystem.
The following reptiles should not be considered by those with little experience due to a variety of factors including size, origin, potential for aggression, tendency to have parasites, or strict dietary and environmental needs.


With a length of 50 miles, Lake Chapala is the largest fresh water lake in Mexico (about 50 miles long). There are 2 towns on thisstunning lake that have attracted adventurous Americans to second homes or to live in retirement. The lake is about 28 miles from nearby Guadalajara – many of whose citizens come here for a weekend retreat.
The town of Chapala (also called Lakeside) on the lake's north shore is more authentic Mexican; generally Mexicans and U.S. expatriates live here side by side. According to the 1990 census, its population is 15,664. Ajijic (pronounce it as ah-hee-heek), about 5 miles away from Chapala, has many gated communities made up of mostly of folks from the U.S. and Canada. About 15,000 people live in Ajijic. Most of the Americans tend to live here only in winter. Both towns have charming plazas and churches. The narrow cobblestone streets go past homes hidden by stone or brick walls. There are many hotels, B & Bs, and restaurants catering to the expatriate community.
Other than the beauty and recreation provided by the lake, another reason for Americans to live in the Lake Chapala region is its low cost of living.
There are many small towns around Lake Chapala to choose from. Chapala is the municipality and towns such as Ajijic, San Antonio Tlayacapan, Chula Vista, Riberas del Pilar and Mirasol are towns within the municipality. Jocotepec is another municipality just west of Ajijic and many expats choose Jocotepec and San Juan Cosala (town within the municipality of Jocotepc) due to the cost of Living be much less.
The lake is also a critical habitat for several species of migratory birds, such as the White Pelican. Cobblestone streets. Beautiful homes and spacious grounds. Your choice of living in a gated community or side by side with Mexicans. Considerable charm and great beauty. Safety in numbers. Great climate and low cost.
Unfortunately Lake Chapala is polluted and the source not cleaned up yet. Uncertainty and danger of living in the 3rd world far from home. Not well connected with the rest of the U.S.
The year round average temperature near Chapala Lake is about 72 degrees. It ranges from a low of about 50 degrees in winter months to about 90 degrees in summer. The rainy season runs from June through October. Chapala is about 28 miles southeast of Guadalajara, Jalisco and stands at 1,524 meters (close to 5000') above sea level. It is a shallow lake.
There is amateur theater, October concerts and ballet, and an opera season. Among the area's cultural attractions is mariachi music, for which the state of Jalisco is particularly known.
Guadalajara has a major airport. Driving to Chapala from the U.S. is not for the feint of heart.

Former Packers wide receiver Donald Driver was inducted into the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame in 2016.
WI Hall of Fame
Donald Driver to emcee 66th Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame induction event
The historic Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame today announced that 2016 Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame inductee Donald Driver will serve as emcee of the 66th Anniversary Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame Induction on April 29, 2017.
By Press Release Submitted to OnMilwaukee.com Published Dec 09, 2016 at 11:13 AM
Donald Driver is a Super Bowl Champion, and he has played in 205 games over his 14-year career with the Green Bay Packers, second in franchise history. As the Green Bay Packers' all-time leading receiver, Driver is well-known as one of the most beloved athletes to ever play in Wisconsin, and he continues to show his commitment to bettering the lives of families in need through the Donald Driver Foundation and its work with various charities throughout the state.
Wisconsin Badgers Heisman Trophy winner Ron Dayne, LPGA Legend Sherri Steinhauer and Green Bay Packers Super Bowl Champion Charles Woodson will join 137 of the state's greatest athletic icons such as Vince Lombardi, Hank Aaron, Oscar Robertson, Barry Alvarez, Al McGuire, Bud Selig, Junior Bridgeman, Herb Kohl, Bart Starr, Bob Harlan, Robin Yount, Bonnie Blair and Bob Uecker.
Dayne, Steinhauer and Woodson will be inducted on April 29th, 2017 at the historic UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena, the site of the first Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame induction event in 1951. Tickets are available for $21, $33 and $80. Tickets are on sale now at the Milwaukee Theatre Box Office, 1-800-745-3000 or online here.
Ron Dayne is considered one of the greatest football players in Wisconsin Badger history, winning the school's second Heisman Trophy in 1999 when he led the country in both rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. As a four-year starter for the Badgers, Dayne finished his college career as the NCAA's all-time leader in rushing yards and led his teams to back-to-back Rose Bowl victories, earning the honor of Rose Bowl MVP both times. A three-time All-Big Ten selection and a consensus All-American, Dayne had his number retired at Camp Randall Stadium in 2007.
He was also selected 11th overall in the 2000 NFL Draft and played seven seasons with the New York Giants, Denver Broncos, and Houston Texans. Already a member of both the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame and the College Football Hall of Fame, Ron Dayne is more than worthy of taking his rightful place in the historic Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame.
LPGA Legend Sherri Steinhauer is one of the greatest golfers of all-time from the state of Wisconsin. During her career on the LPGA Tour, she won eight tour events, including two major victories at the Women's British Open in 1998 and 2006. Throughout her career, she posted 78 top ten finishes and served on the LPGA Player Director Board for the 2009-2011 seasons, serving as vice president for the 2009 Tour season.
Steinhauer's success began well before her professional career started, as prior to officially joining the LPGA Tour, she had three consecutive wins at the Wisconsin State Junior Championship from 1978-1980. Already a member of the Wisconsin State Golf Association Hall of Fame, Sherri Steinhauer has proven to be a prime example of excellence in Wisconsin athletics.
Super Bowl Champion Charles Woodson made the most out of his seven seasons with the Green Bay Packers, putting together the best statistical stretch of his career after joining the franchise in 2006. He has scored the most defensive touchdowns in Packers history and is fifth all-time in total interceptions as a Packer. During his tenure in the Green and Gold, he was named AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2009, made four Pro Bowls, was named to the NFL's 2000s All-Decade Team and led the league in interceptions twice.
Woodson has achieved success at every level of his playing career, and his biggest accomplishment in a Packers uniform came in his role as a captain for the 2010 season that led to a championship-worthy playoff performance and a victory in Super Bowl XLV. Considered by many to be one of the greatest defensive backs of all-time, Charles Woodson's time with the Green Bay Packers has cemented an amazing chapter in his Hall of Fame-worthy legacy.
The Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame is maintained through the support of community partners Associated Bank, the Official Bank of the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame, Hupy & Abraham, Goodwill Industries, West Bend Insurance, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Bronze plaques located on 4th Street in Milwaukee's downtown sports and entertainment district, contains bronze plaques commemorating the 137 members of the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame. This iconic, historic Hall of Fame is free and open to the public 365 days a year.

Buy Bitcoin Sell Bitcoin
Home Business Stores that Accept Cryptocurrency
Stores that Accept Cryptocurrency
Usually, when we talk about Bitcoin, we talk about adoption in general terms. "People using the coin."
However, we can – and sometimes should – talk about the adoption in more specific terms. Who is adopting digital currency? How and why are they adopting?
The State of Bitcoin Merchant Adoption
An Introduction to Merchant Cryptocurrency Adoption
When we talk about "merchant adoption", we're talking about businesses that accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and other altcoins, in exchange for goods and services. What they do after that isn't important.
Merchant adoption is important to the cryptocurrency community for two main reasons.
The first is that the more ways people have to use cryptocurrency, the more likely they are to have it. More people using crypto increases the value in the short term and decreases volatility in the long term.
The second reason is that being able to use crypto as a form of payment makes it operate more like a currency and less like a speculative asset. That transition makes the value of cryptocurrencies more stable over time.
How Widespread Is It?
The closest thing to a comprehensive list of all merchants accepting cryptocurrency payments is from Coinmap.org.
That platform lists nearly 16,000 locations globally, counting crypto ATMs. The list is also open-source so some retailers may be unaccounted for. That's particularly true given the increasing availability of crypto point-of-sale technology.
We can't talk about all of those use cases but there are a few that stand out.
Case Studies: Stores Around the World Accepting Cryptocurrency
We've already talked about how merchant adoption can drive consumer adoption but the opposite is also true. Venezuela became a poster child for Bitcoin last year after political unrest made the fiat (local) currency so unstable that cryptocurrencies became a popular hedge. For a time, users would use fiat to buy BTC for safekeeping and then exchange back to make purchases. However, the practice became so commonplace that many major retailers started accepting Bitcoin payments. And now, it is estimated that Venezuelan merchant crypto adoption will rise from 1% to 10%, and even surpass 10% of stores in 2020.
As early as September of 2019, thousands of French retailers announced at a finance conference that they would begin accepting crypto payments through a payment processor. The move means that some brands will now be purchasable using crypto at popular stores. France has been making headlines for Bitcoin advertisements as well. Overall, the country has a strong crypto culture despite being a part of the large and stable eurozone. This goes against the logic of most large adoption sites where adoption is driven by the use of multiple fiats and/or unstable fiats.
Around that same time, a sports bar in New Jersey, USA, was making headlines for opening its doors to Bitcoin, Litecoin, and a few other crypto users. This kind of sporadic adoption is characteristic of merchant adoption in other parts of the world. It's also a great example of the kind of establishment that might slip past groups like Coinmap.
There are also various other global companies and online retailers, such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Shopify, that are already known for accepting BTC as a payment method.
Is There a Bitcoin Retailer Near You?
Is there a retailer near you that accepts cryptocurrency as a payment option?
If not, consider talking to your favourite retailers about the ease and benefits of accepting the virtual currency.
If so, support them. Buy from them, or use their services. Tell others about them. Make sure that sites like Coinmap know about them and talk about them on social media.
After all, real adoption isn't just about buying and storing Bitcoin like some hodl dragon. It's also about spending coin in the real world.

A: Yes, standard receiver units are 4, 8, and 16 camera inputs. You can stack these units and via a LAN watch all, selected cameras, or only one camera at a time.
Q: Do I need special lighting?
A: No, new cameras see better in the dark than we do! Black and white cameras used to have an edge for low light viewing, but now color cameras switch to black and white automatically if the lighted scene is too dark. Call us at 1-808-988-9111 or visit our directory page to get more information.
Q: Can I control the camera positions?
A: The camera domes have built in units that pan, tilt, zoom, and focus via PC software! Imagine… from any PC anywhere in the world you can aim any one of your cameras and zoom in to view a specific location. The dome units via software can be programmed for tour duty… this means they automatically pan, tilt and stop for a pre-determined time, zoom in and record, then move to view another pre-programmed site. An example is a camera to view the back door and zoom in for 1 minute then go to a overhead door then to a gate.
Q: Are covert cameras small?
A: Yes, they are as small as a dime, and can be disguised as security motion sensors, smoke detectors, sprinkler heads, one way mirrors, clocks, exit signs, in telephones, in speakers, or wherever your imagination can take you.
Q: Why color over black and white cameras?
A: Color cameras are only 25% more costly than black and white cameras. The small cost difference is offset by a great increase in savings when the perpetrator is captured more often with the stolen goods. The reason the perpetrator is caught more often with a color camera is because it's easier to spot someone with a description of the color of the perpetrator's shirt or coat and/or car.

2014 NYSC Presidential Awards To Hold Soon – DG - Corpr!
The Director General of the National Youths Service Corps, (NYSC) Brig. General Johnson Oluwumi says the 2014 NYSC presidential award nominees will be announced before the end of the year.
The NYSC DG, who announced this while speaking to the NYSC presidential honours award committee in Abuja yesterday, noted that some hitches and gaps between the scheme and the Ministry of Youths Development had been responsible for not giving the award in 2012 and 2013; but with the coming in of Boni Haruna as the minister, there was more assurance and approval for the award to hold.
The DG also noted that the vision of the award created in 1974, was to recognise and promote excellence in service among corps members so that they can distinguish themselves in the course of the service year.
While responding, the chairman of the committee, Dr Ihenetu Kelvin commended the NYSC for commitment and dedication to the unity of Nigeria through deployment, monitoring, mentoring and moulding of the corps members and pledged to work diligently to come up with a result that would gladden the hearts of all.

224: Middlemen
Host Ira Glass talks with Chris, who worked for a company that helped deaf people talk over the phone with hearing people. The deaf person would type what they wanted Chris to say, and Chris would say it, then type back the response from the hearing person on the line. As the man in the middle, Chris was privy to intimate moments in people's lives. He was the middleman on drug deals, breakups. Occasionally, desperate mothers would appeal to him directly to talk sense to their stubborn deaf children with words that they themselves did not possess. As the job wore on, Chris found it more and more impossible to just be a neutral go-between. (7 minutes)

National Copyright Guidelines
home ›› copyright guidelines ›› What can I copy/communicate? ›› 2.5 Film, Video / DVD
2.5 Film, Video / DVD
| Back to Table of Contents | Next Page
In this section, the term 'film' refers to all audio-visual material such as film, video / DVDs that shows moving images with or without sound.
Film includes anything which:
is capable of being shown as moving images (film, video / DVD)
is capable of being embodied in another article or thing which can be used to show the moving picture (eg an electronic file which can show the moving images when used with particular software: eg Windows Media Player)
includes the soundtrack accompanying the moving images
Examples of films include:
feature, short and documentary films
animations or cartoons
television advertisements
corporate or education videos
video and computer games
podcasts and vodcasts of audiovisual material.
Who owns copyright in the film?
In general, the copyright owner of a film will be the film production company. If the film is commissioned by the educational institution (for example a school pays a production company to make a training or educational video), the educational institution, not the film production company, will usually be the copyright owner of the video.
It is very important to be aware that the copyright in underlying works incorporated in film (eg screenplays, music, art works) may be retained by the author of each of those works, not by the film production company.
See 1.5: Who owns Copyright? for further information
Copying and communicating film
In general, copyright in a film will not be infringed where the copy or communication is done:
with the express permission of the copyright owner
See 1.10: Dealing with Copyright for further information
under the fair dealing, flexible dealing or educational exceptions
See 1.13: Copyright Exceptions for further information
The copying of a film for fair dealing purposes is free and does not require the permission of the copyright owner. The fair dealing exceptions most relevant for educational institutions and students are:
research or study - eg a student can copy and use the film either as part of their studies (provided the film is not used outside the classroom); or for the purposes of comparing lighting techniques, angles or themes; or to make a pastiche of extracts of a film/video as part of their studies
criticism or review - eg reviewing a film or DVD
parody or satire – eg including part of a film in a PowerPoint presentation to make a satirical point about something related to the film.
Flexible dealings
Schools and TAFE institutes can now use a film for non-commercial teaching purposes if the use is not covered by another exception or Voluntary Licence . In order to use the flexible dealings exception, teachers must assess whether the proposed use:
Is a special caseYour use will be a special case where it is narrow in both a qualitative or quantitative sense. This means that you are only using what you need for educational instruction.
Is for educational instructionEducational instruction means teaching (including remote teaching), preparation for teaching, preparing materials for students to use for homework or research tasks, or other uses that are in connection with teaching.
Is not for commercial advantage or profitYour use will be commercial where you, your students or your institute are making a profit or gaining a commercial advantage from the use of the material. Cost recovery is likely okay.
Doesn't conflict with the normal exploitation of the copyright materialYour use will probably conflict with the normal exploitation of the material where it is possible to purchase a similar resource.
Doesn't unreasonable prejudice the legitimate interests of the copyright owner or person licensed by the owner
Your use will prejudice the copyright owner if you:
a. use more than you need;
b. interfere with the quality of the material;
c. expose the content to piracy, such as uploading the content to the Internet.Uploading the content to a password protected intranet, blog, wiki or content management system is okay provided students are not able to make further copies; and
d. don't remove the content from the password protected DTE as soon as practicable after it is no longer required for education instruction.
One example of an activity covered by the flexible dealings exception is a teacher who wants to show several short extracts of a film in class could copy the short extracts to a DVD to make their teaching easier.
Teachers should note that:
it is not usually possible to copy an entire film unless the film is not commercially available in the form needed by the time the film is needed for class; and
teachers are now permitted to circumvent an access control TPM to make a copy of a film.
Educational exceptions
Screening films (videos / DVDs) in class
Copyright is not infringed where a film (video / DVD) is screened in class if:
it is in the course of education and is not for profit and
the people in the audience or class are giving or receiving instruction or are directly connected with the place where the instruction is given
Communicating a film for classroom performance
Schools and TAFE institutes can communicate a film to enable it to be screened in class (eg streaming a film from the Internet, showing a film to a virtual class or transmitting a film on DVD from a centralized player to a screen in a classroom).
Other statutory exceptions
Filming sculptures and other artworks in public places [Link to 2.2 Artistic works and Photographs (d)(i)]
Filming buildings or models of buildings [Link to 2.2 Artistic Works and Photographs (d)(i)]
Incidental filming of artworks [Link to 2.2 Artistic Works and Photographs (d)(ii)]
See 2.2: Artistic Works and Photographs for further information
Statutory Licence
The Statutory Broadcast Licence will apply to all film and video which is recorded from broadcasts (eg TV). These recordings may be shown in class for educational purposes, subject to the marking and notice requirements. However, the Statutory Licence will not apply to a film, video / DVD which is commercially hired or bought by the school, its teachers or students.

Anthony scores 37, Knicks beat Blazers to end skid at 4
Associated PressDec 13, 2015, 8:00 AM EST
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Carmelo Anthony tied a season high with 37 points and New York Knicks rallied from a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 112-110 on Saturday night.
Anthony, who scored 20 points in the first half, shot 13 of 21 from the field as New York ended a four-game losing streak. Anthony finished the game by hitting six free throws during the final 30 seconds.
Former Blazers Robin Lopez and Arron Afflalo, returning to Portland for the first time since leaving the team in free agency last summer, were among six Knicks in double figures. Afflalo scored 15 points, while Lopez had 14 points and seven rebounds.
Damian Lillard led Portland with 29 points but missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer that would have won the game after he chased down the rebound of his intentionally missed free throw.
New York started the fourth quarter on a 12-2 run to erase Portland's lead. Then, trailing 92-91, the Knicks regained the lead on back-to-back baskets by Kyle O'Quinn.
New York built the lead to six points on several occasions, but needed Anthony's free throws to hold on.
C.J. McCollum scored 22 points and Allen Crabbe 15 for the Blazers.
Portland never trailed in the first half and led 56-55 at halftime.
The Blazers took a 20-9 lead midway through the first quarter when a layup by Mason Plumlee capped a string of eight consecutive points. Crabbe had a pair of baskets during a 7-0 run early in the second quarter that gave the Blazers a 40-30 lead.
The Knicks drew even at 47 on two free throws by Lopez, but Gerald Henderson's 3-pointer immediately returned the lead to Portland, which it kept for the remainder of the half.
The Blazers briefly gave up the lead early in the third quarter when New York ran off nine consecutive points, including five by Anthony, to take a 64-59 lead. But the Blazers put together a pair of 8-0 runs later in the quarter to grab an 86-76 advantage heading into the fourth quarter.
Knicks: New York ended a six-game losing streak to Portland. The Knicks' last win over the Blazers came on March 12, 2012. … Rookie sensation Kristaps Porzingis missed six shots and went scoreless in 19 minutes for New York. Porzingis was averaging 14.1 points. … Afflalo has scored in double figures in 11 of his past 14 games. … Lopez scored in double figures for the first time in 10 games.
Blazers: Lillard became the first Blazer since Clyde Drexler in 1991-92 to score 600 points and hand out 150 assists during the team's first 25 games. … Portland still has yet to win back-to-back home games this season. … McCollum has scored at least 20 points in three consecutive games, a career first.
Knicks reportedly offered multiple first-round picks for OG Anunoby, got nowhere
By Kurt HelinJan 27, 2023, 1:36 PM EST
Cole Burston/Getty Images
What are the Toronto Raptors going to do at the trade deadline?
It's less than two weeks before the trade deadline and the entire NBA is still asking that question, the Raptors are the one team that could turn this trade deadline from a dud to epic if they decide to pivot toward a rebuild. Are they willing to trade players like OG Anunoby or Pascal Siakam, or will they look to add a more traditional big man such as the Spurs' Jakob Poeltl, who has been linked to the Raptors in rumors? Everything seems to be on the table.
Anunoby is a player a lot of teams covet, including New York. The Knicks reached out to the Raptors, reports Ian Begley of SNY.TV.
"And Anunoby with Toronto, I mean, that would cost you a lot. That would cost you significant draft compensation. Maybe the Knicks are there, maybe they're feeling like they could make the playoffs and make a big push if you added in Anunoby. I know that we reported they contacted Toronto on Anunoby and I was told in that conversation they offered multiple firsts. But this was a while back… Toronto has done a lot since then. But I don't think the league is crystal clear on what [the Raptors] want to do on Anunoby."
Anunoby is an elite on-ball wing defender who can be a finisher, averaging 17.3 points and 5.6 rebounds a game at age 25 — the asking price will start at two unprotected first-round picks in this market. The Knicks may have thrown some of their protected picks in the conversation, but Toronto's asking price is reportedly sky-high because they're not eager to get rid of him.
Anunoby is making $17.4 million this season and is under contract for $18.2 million next season, a fair price for what he brings to the court (he has a player option at $19.9 million in 2024-25). What the Raptors do with him may signal their direction.
At the deadline, most people around the league expect Toronto to trade Gary Trent Jr., but that's it. Any other big moves are likely this offseason. If ever.

Imagine students creating their own course content from a fully approved knowledge base, by using an ergonomic an efficient human-machine interface, that allows them to submit a question in a very human and simple way: by means of verbal communication. The system then performs a semantic query in the knowledge base and returns appropriate results in a multimedia form ... Well, that vision could become reality with our e-Librarian Service.
The e-Librarian Service was designed by Prof. Dr. Christoph Meinel and his team to retrieve multimedia resources from a knowledge base in a more efficient way than by browsing through an index, or by using a simple keyword search. The user can enter his question in a very simple and human way: in natural language (NL). The returned results are then logical consequences of an inference rather than of keyword matchings.
There are three different prototypical educational tools that implement the e-Librarian service. A first prototype is CHESt. (Computer History Expert System); it has a knowledge base with 300 multimedia clips that cover the main events in computer history and were produced by tele-TASK. Personal notes can be added and stored. A second prototype is MatES (Mathematics Expert System); it has a knowledge base with 115 clips that cover the topic of fractions in mathematics for secondary school w.r.t. the official school programme. All clips were recorded mainly by pupils. The third and most advanced prototype is the Lecture Butler's E-Librarain Service; it has a Web service interface to respect a service oriented architecture (SOA).

The OpenPolitics Manifesto
"Crowd" by Espen Sundve
With 50-62% of the British public having no religion1, including 64% of those aged 18-242, Britain is no longer a Christian country and so its official status as such will be removed. Britain will become a secular nation under a Secularism Act.
Human rights are paramount, because we are all human but not all religious. No-one should be restricted from practising their religious beliefs unless those beliefs infringe on the human rights of others. Equally, the non-religious or those of other religions, should be free of interference from religions. So we will enshrine in law two principles;
Freedom from religion and
Disestablishment of the Church of England.
Ending prayers in Parliament and local government.
When Government seeks advice from religious groups they will also be required to consult groups representing of non-theists.
All human rights exemptions for religious organisations, such as discrimination in recruitment, will be revoked.
Religious organisations operating public services will be explicitly banned from promoting their religion in the process in order to protect vulnerable members of society.
Religious individuals delivering public services wishing to conscientiously object will be limited from doing so in all but the most extreme cases (e.g. doctors and abortion).
Local and national Remembrance Day/Sunday celebrations organised or controlled by any branch of government should be secular events, including the Cenotaph ceremony.
The British Isles have been the destination of migrants for millennia. Each new influx of migrants have brought new skills, languages and other cultural influences. Immigration has been unambiguously beneficial to this country, and continues to allow companies, organisations and communities to strengthen and improve by bringing in talents and viewpoints they otherwise lack.
This manifesto opposes those policies and views that seek to stigmatise, isolate, or denigrate those who wish to come and make a positive contribution to British society and the economy.
We propose a system that will allow employers to seek the best and brightest from around the globe, as well as encouraging anyone to settle who has something to contribute to our communities. We hope to encourage more international companies to invest and establish offices here, knowing that the United Kingdom is an international hub for talent.
We also wish to ensure the United Kingdom remains committed to fulfilling its international obligations as a safe haven for anyone suffering, or at risk of suffering, persecution for their political or religious views, or because of their actual or perceived race, gender or sexual orientation.
State Honours
The state should be able to honour deceased individuals in ways that the current Honours System does not allow (e.g. remove the specific number of places within the Order of the Bath which prevents the ability to grant knighthoods to the deceased).
Nominations for State Honours should continue to be encouraged from the public. These nominations should be shortlisted by a Committee appointed from within an elected Upper Chamber of Parliament. A nationwide public online vote should then decide on the final award of Honours on the basis of a redacted nomination paper to remove identifying information and prevent cronyism.
The state should not seek to incentivise marriage through the tax system, but it should recognise family household units whether married, unmarried or in a civil partnership. It is therefore proposed that a non-working adult's personal income tax allowance may be transferred in full to another working adult residing in the same household. Only one transfer would be allowed per household.
Humanist marriage (a wedding performed by a humanist celebrant) should be officially recognised across the UK, as it already is in Scotland.
Bigamy laws will be repealed, and polyamorous marriage explicitly legalised, all with the goal of allowing love in all forms to flourish, should the participants choose to utilise the institution of marriage.
Equality in Civil Partnerships
Currently under all devolved jurisdictions, each party to the civil partnership must be of the same sex. This option shall be extended to heterosexual couples who may not wish to partake in the institution of marriage.
Shared Parental Leave
By implementing shared rights to parental leave, couples raising young children may decide for themselves how to best share and make use of their time and resources.
Never-ending Consumption and Consumerism
Our entire society and economy is centred around the principle of continued economic growth driven by ever increasing consumption. Everyone in society is put under pressure to put in more hours at work, to aim for the next promotion, to get a better salary, to get a bigger house and fill it with more things - despite the fact this rarely leads to increased happiness or contentment. We feel pressure to do so because it's expected of us, because of peer and family pressure, and because of the constant stream of advertising on the web, TV, radio and billboards. The Government encourage this in order to grow the economy forever more, whilst ignoring the fact it creates feelings of peer inadequacy, is causing chronic physical and mental exhaustion in our workforce, is fuelling an obesity crisis, and is hugely damaging to our natural environment.
We recognise that this is hugely damaging, and to take an alternative approach that would provide a sustainable economy with a greater emphasis on physical and mental well-being, to pursue careers that focuses on self-development and professional contentment, and to steer society away from consumerism.
