As human beings, especially as sports fans, we are a social species and our ability to survive mainly depends on the ability to form communities and culture. But what is a (fan) community or a culture? It is a group of people who share the same values and beliefs. What is a sports club or a company? Both should also be a group of people with a common set of values and beliefs. And if a group is surrounded by a group who believes what they believe, trust emerges. We need this trust – because this trust is one of the most relevant business driver in the digital and growing anonymous world. If we trust, we are more willing to take more risks, we are more willing to experiment (which includes failure), and we're more willing to explore new ways (just think about new ways of payment, acceptance for new sponsors, etc.). That's because we have the confidence which is build on trust. That's exactly what sponsors or clubs have to do. Clubs have to establish trust, by proving their deep understanding of the fan's interests, not only at the stadium but also at home and outside of it, his concerns, core values and beliefs. If this happens, clubs and sponsors have the ability to create a long-lasting and intense bonding with their fan community.
As an organization (sports club, sponsor, etc) you have to look at every single piece of your communication – because this is the way of saying who we are. For that reason, authenticity matters a lot – especially in a highly emotional context. In order to build trust, you have to do and say what you really believe in. Your actions are symbols that will be recognized and absorbed by the community. Don't try to hide who you are – organizations like clubs should do and say what they truly believe and they will attract fans who believe what they believe.
This whole process is a question of brand identity, with a strong purpose at the heart of everything. But how to create a trustful brand identity? A combination of an implicit and explicit research is a strong springboard to start that process. Why? You track the fit of values between your own and the external perception of your brand. Based on this precise picture you can start the process of developing your brand – without relying on the opinion of others what they think you should look like. Just how you are – driven by your own values and beliefs. Otherwise, fans will quickly find out some inconsistency in your communicative behavior and identify the false (brand) costume. And trust will be lost.

Time flies when you're having fun, so this came up sooner than I expected. I'm signed up to attend BarCampWaterloo 4 this Saturday in Waterloo, Ontario, from 11am to 5pm. If all goes well (it's a BarCamp, so you never know :)), I'll be demoing Versabox, in which I install Linux (Nitix), another Linux (Ubuntu), VMware Server, Windows 2003 Server, and MS SQL on a completely blank server in about 15 minutes or so. And if I screw up, at least you can laugh at me.
Also, rumour has it that lkosewsk will be demoing his new startup's formerly top-secret product. Unlike certain other products likely to be present at BarCampWaterloo, I've heard it runs a 2.6 Linux kernel.

Home : Contact Us : Clues : Clocks & Watches
Clocks and watches appear so often in Murder Mysteries that they deserve a page all of their own.
Time as an Alibi
In the 1975 episode of Columbo called Identity Crisis time appears in the alibi of the villain in two ways. The villain claims that he could not have been present at the murder scene at the time in question because he was at his office recording a speech for a client into a dictaphone. He leaves this on the desk of his secretary, who will type it up for him the next morning. In the background Columbo hears a clock striking, which is supposed to put a time stamp on when the recording was made. However, the villain reset the clock in question and it is clearly not irrefutable evidence. Background noses in recordings are regular alibi and evidence features.
The real evidence is also a sound on the recording. Early on the murderer closes the blinds to stop the sun coming in. The window in question faces towards the sunrise, so Columbo knows that he was not there in the evening but early the next morning.
The Reset Watch
This idea often comes up in murder mysteries. During a violent death a watch might be smashed at a specific time to suggest when the murder took place. If a cunning murderer sets the time for half an hour earlier and then heads off to the location of his alibi and makes sure he is seen then he might be able to claim to have a solid alibi. However, if someone makes a big noise about being somewhere then the investigator should be suspicious.
Two interesting possibilities. 1. The victim if left handed and therefore wears his watch on his right wrist. 12% of people are left handed (interestingly this has not changed throughout evolution - source QI). The murderer removes the watch but without thinking puts it back on the more common left wrist.
The second possibility again comes from Columbo. This time it is in the classic Fade In To Murder starring William Shatner. The victim works in films and has the habit of running his watch five minutes fast. Of course, when the murderer resets it he does not take this into account. As always, the detective finds out.
The Train Ticket
Now this one is used in one of our own productions, but there are versions of this trick in various other murder mysteries. In ours the suspect leaves the crime scene and can prove it because he uses an Oyster Card. His journey would be registered on the automated system. However, he jumps of at the first stop and buys a ticket for cash to return to the crime scene. The suspect makes a big fuss about proving that he departed when he did, and many teams accept this at face value. However, some teams also want him to prove when and where his journey ended. Obviously this is much harder for him to do and his protestations about forgetting to touch his card only make him more suspicious.
A more clever murderer would not have used his Oyster but bought a return ticket using a credit card. Then the investigator would have to ask whether he had an Oyster Card and, if so, why he did not use it on this occasion.
Next we look at a very interesting area, Forensics.

Charter cities, the neo-colonial solution to poverty?
Ryan Hahn
This month's edition of The Atlantic contains an excellent profile of economist Paul Romer and his campaign to create charter cities. Money quote:
FAST-FORWARD SEVERAL CENTURIES, and Henry the Lion's would-be heir is Paul Romer, a gentle economist at Stanford University. Elegant, bespectacled, geekishly curious in a boyish way, Romer is not the kind of person you might picture armed with a two-handed flanged mace, cutting down Slavic marauders. But he is bent on cutting down an adversary almost as resistant: the conventional approach to development in poor countries. Rather than betting that aid dollars can beat poverty, Romer is peddling a radical vision: that dysfunctional nations can kick-start their own development by creating new cities with new rules—Lübeck-style centers of progress that Romer calls "charter cities." By building urban oases of technocratic sanity, struggling nations could attract investment and jobs; private capital would flood in and foreign aid would not be needed. And since Henry the Lion is not on hand to establish these new cities, Romer looks to the chief source of legitimate coercion that exists today—the governments that preside over the world's more successful countries. To launch new charter cities, he says, poor countries should lease chunks of territory to enlightened foreign powers, which would take charge as though presiding over some imperial protectorate. Romer's prescription is not merely neo-medieval, in other words. It is also neo-colonial.

As the article notes, even if he could somehow find a country willing to explicitly give up its sovereignty to a neo-colonial power, how could he possibly find a developed country willing to take it?
Sheer fantasy.
This sounds similar to the Chinese Joint Venture Free Trade zones that are currently being set up in Sub-Saharan Africa. The issue is how these charter cities/free trade zones will be perceived by the local populace. The words envy and resentment come to mind, then of course the intentions of the charter city or free trade zone managers is another matter. This idea requires a bit more thought, for example, charter cities/free trade zones need not be run by foreigners. They could be subject to tender and run by citizens who wish to live and make a decent living outside of the chaos and lawlessness of their contries whilst remaining at home as opposed to emigrating to a G-8 country.

Provisional Sales Associate- A provisional sales associate (PSA) is an entry level licensee, which is under the supervision of a real estate broker. A PSA can not enter into contractual agreements with a customer or client in his or her own name, but must enter into such agreement for and in the name of their sponsoring broker. In order to apply for a PSA license, a person must be of good moral character, eighteen (18) years of age or older, and submit evidence to the Commission of successful completion of Part I of ninety (90) clock hours of basic real estate instruction in a course that is approved by the Commission.
Sales Associate - A sales associate (SA) license is the same as a provisional sales associate (PSA) license except: 1) the sales associate no longer has a forty-five (45) clock hour Part II post-license education requirement, but rather has a twenty-one (21) clock hour continuing education requirement each active license term; and 2) the sales associate license is a three-year renewable license, as opposed to the provisional sales license which is only a one-year license.
In order to obtain a SA type of license, a person must be of good moral character, eighteen (18) years of age or older, and submit evidence to the Commission of successful completion of ninety (90) clock hours of basic real estate instruction in a course that is approved by the Commission.
Upon passing the state examination a sales associate must work under the sponsorship of a real estate broker. A sales associate cannot enter into contractual agreements with a customer or client in his or her own name but must enter into such agreement for and in the name of their sponsoring broker.
Broker - A broker license allows a person to do business as a firm and sponsor licensed associates (provisional sales associates, sales associates or broker associates.) The broker will be responsible for activities of their associates. In order for an applicant to apply for a broker license, the applicant must be of good moral character, possess two (2) years of active experience, or its equivalent, as a PSA or SA within the past five (5) years, and submit evidence of successful completion of ninety (90) clock hours of advanced real estate instruction in a course that is approved by the Commission.
A broker applicant may request the two years experience to be waived but no education course content may be waived. The broker applicant must show proof of successful completion in the basic, provisional post-license (or its equivalent) and advanced course of study prior to qualifying for the broker examination. Upon request from the Commission, an applicant may attempt to qualify for the two (2) year waiver and must submit all documentation as required by the Commission to verify the waiver. Upon passing the state examination, a broker has the option of applying for a license as a broker associate, proprietor broker, managing broker for a corporation or association, or as a broker partner of a partnership. For additional information refer to the Broker Licensing Options.
Application - An application form can be obtained from the Commission or from the entity where the applicant completed the schooling. An applicant can only take the examination if they have successfully completed the required pre-license course, as approved by the Commission. The only exception to this rule may apply to a nonresident or previously licensed applicant. Further, a broker applicant must meet the 2 years experience requirement within the required time period or qualify through the Equivalent Experience Point System.
The application must be fully completed and notarized. The Commission does not provide notary service. All applicants will be asked for a photo identification before testing. All applicants must also include with the application a proof of citizenship or qualified alien status, for additional information refer to the Proof Of Citizenship link along with the Affidavit verifying lawful presence in the United States form. These are absolutely mandatory, the examination will not be given without it.
If any part of the application is incomplete, the application can not be approved. If the applicant successfully passes the examination, the license will not be issued until all required documents are received and the application has received final approval. Any and all fees paid are non-refundable, regardless of final approval.
The last page of the provisional sales or sales associate application allows the applicant to sign up with a broker prior to taking the examination. It is not a requirement to have this part of the form completed prior to taking the examination. This is only included as a matter of convenience so that the applicant can proceed to have their license issued in the event they pass the examination and receive final approval of the application. This also allows the applicant the option of placing their license on an inactive status in the event they have not yet selected a broker. Inactive status is only necessary if the applicant has not yet chosen a broker, and will not do so within the allowed 90 day period.
Nonresident applicants may take a required examination at the above listed locations or any other PSI location across the United States.
2. Examination fees will be paid directly to PSI Services LLC through an online registration service.
Upon the Commission receiving the aforementioned documents and fee of $41.00, the Commission will check the application for completeness. Once the application has been approved by the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission notice will be sent to the applicant, and to PSI. Applicants may then schedule with the examination vendor at a location of their choice.
4. Applicants will receive results immediately following completion of the examination.
5. If an applicant fails the examination, they will be given the option to review their failed questions at the end of their examination; this will be their only opportunity for review.
6. If an applicant fails, they must contact PSI to reschedule. For example, an applicant who tests unsuccessfully on a Wednesday can reschedule that day, and retest on the following Thursday, depending upon space availability.
 With a PSI registrar at (800) 733-9267, available Monday through Friday, between 6:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. and Saturday, between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Central Time.
8. Applicants are advised that in Oklahoma real estate licensees do not practice under the "common law of agency", but rather, practice under broker relationships that are defined within the Oklahoma Real Estate License Code and Rules. The common law of agency is practiced in most all other licensing jurisdictions and therefore since Oklahoma is now utilizing a national examination vendor, the national portion of the examination will contain questions regarding the common law of agency. Prospective licensees need to be aware of the common law of agency concepts as they will from time to time be dealing with nonresident licensees and/or consumers.
In Oklahoma, the common law of agency is still practiced between the real estate broker and the broker's associates; however, there is no agency relationship that can exist between the broker/associate and the consumer. Applicants can locate references to the common law principles of agency in real estate text books (that could be obtained from any local library).
Please feel free to contact the Education and Licensing Department with the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission toll free at 1-866-521-3389 or 405-521- 3387.
Grade Validity - A passing examination score is valid for one (1) year. An applicant may request in writing for an extension of the validity period. At the discretion of the Commission, the validity period may be extended.
Provisional sales associate or sales associate - Upon successful completion of the examination and the application receiving final approval the applicant will be required to have a broker sign a form verifying sponsorship or the applicant may place their license on an inactive status. If the applicant selected a broker and the broker has already completed the reverse side of the application the applicant will be required to pay the license and education and recovery fund fee. If the reverse side of the application is not completed by a broker, the Examination attendant will provide the applicant with either a Application for Issuance of a Provisional Sales Associate or Sales Associate License form or an Inactive Status Request form. If the applicant chooses to have the license issued on Inactive Status, an inactive pocket card will be sent to the mailing address provided by the applicant.
Broker - Upon successful completion of the examination and the application receiving final approval the applicant will be required to select the broker license type. These options are explained in the Broker Licensing Options. Each license type requires different forms; however, the license and education and recovery fund fee is the same.
Active or Inactive Status - A license fee is required whether the requester places their license on an active or inactive status.
Receipt of License - No person shall begin operations in the real estate business or begin post licensing education without first having actually been issued their numbered license certificate.
All licenses are mailed to the business address of the sponsoring broker.
A resident licensee is a person who is licensed in this state and operates from a place of business in this state. A nonresident licensee is a person who is licensed to practice in this state, however, does not maintain a place of business in this state but maintains a place of business in another state and who periodically comes to this state to operate and perform real estate activities. An applicant will be required to apply for one of these types based on where they office from. The Commission has entered into numerous nonresident agreements with other jurisdictions so as to streamline the process for obtaining multiple licenses. The listing can be found at the Agency information icon under Listing of Related Entities - ARELLO, then select Directory. The applicant would need to contact our Education Department for exact requirements since all agreements differ in some aspect or another.
If a state or jurisdiction has not entered into an agreement with Oklahoma, the general rule is that if a nonresident active licensee possess: 1) a minimum of two (2) years active experience out of the previous five (5) years as a sales associate or broker respectively, 2) provides a certificate of license history verifying such and indicating that the license is in good standing in their state or jurisdiction of licensure, 3) completes all appropriate forms and pays all required fees, and 4) the application has received final approval, the nonresident licensee may obtain a nonresident Oklahoma license.
Oklahoma allows that a broker of this state may participate in a cooperative brokerage arrangement with a broker of another jurisdiction provided that each broker conduct real estate activities only in the state or jurisdiction in which they are licensed.

In a significant development on the eve of the crucial Rajya Sabha elections in Odisha, two independent legislators on Thursday joined the ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) as its associated members in the state Assembly.
The decision of two MLAs – Jitu Patnaik from Champua constituency in north Odisha's Keonjhar district and Braja Pradhan from Talcher in coastal Angul district – has enhanced the prospects of the BJD backed independent candidate, noted sculptor Raghunath Mohapatra, who is engaged in a tough battle for the fourth Upper House vacancy from the state with Congress nominee, the IPL chairman and prominent cricket administrator Ranjib Biswal.
Three other vacant seats are expected to be easily captured by the nominees of the BJD which has a strength of as many as 108 MLAs in the 147 member state Assembly. The elections for the prestigious polls are scheduled for Friday.
Thursday morning witnessed hectic political activities in the state capital as the two legislators met the chief minister and BJD chief Naveen Patnaik twice – once in his Assembly chamber and again at his residence – for talks.
After the second meeting, the MLAs announced their decision to the waiting reporters. They denied any "deal" with the BJD for their support during the Rajya Sabha polls and insisted that they joined hands with the ruling regional outfit to further develop their constituencies. Both said "yes" when asked if they would vote for the BJD-backed independent candidate during the Friday polls.
The development has become a setback for the Congress nominee Biswal, who was hoping to get the first preference votes of both the MLAs.


A new book on the life of Blessed Pope John Paul II contains a rare interview with Pope Emeritus Benedict.

We must all take Matthew 25 : 41 very seriously indeed, bearing in mind that it refers to the hungry, the thirsty, and the naked and so on.
The state of poverty per se is different. The Church actually recommends it and Christ Himself adopted it and expected his followers to do so. I have noticed, over a number of years now, that so many of the poor, just as soon as they are able to, happily swop poverty for acquisition, indulgence, avariciousness etc, and rarely opt for a holy state of poverty as did St Francis.
The concept that poverty, as such, must be eliminated at any cost - but not wealth, of course, since it is by the avariciousness of the many that the few become very wealthy - is a distortion of Christianity.
So,Liberation Theology is not the only recent distortion of Christianity. We can add debt-financed affluence to it!

'My Tongue Swelled Up!' Val Kilmer Struggles To Speak Amid Throat Cancer Rumors
Source: AKM-GSI
Nov. 11 2016, Updated 3:32 p.m. ET
Val Kilmer slurred his way through a speech he gave at an appearance in Los Angeles on Nov. 10. Click through RadarOnline.com's gallery to find out how he's doing.
EXCLUSIVE: **PREMIUM EXCLUSIVE RATES APPLY* *NO USA TV** Val Kilmer talks to fans at a screening of his movie 'Cinema Twain' in Los Angeles, California.
The actor was clearly struggling to speak as he reportedly used a tissue to dab at his mouth while introducing a film that's based on Citizen Twain, Kilmer's one-man play.
Though he recently denied Michael Douglas's claims that he was suffering from oral cancer, Kilmer, 56, confessed to the gathered audience that he was having issues because his "tongue swelled," resulting in the actor canceling a planned tour for Citizen Twain.
"I went into rehearsals down in Florida and started having trouble with my speech," explained Kilmer. "Obviously I'm still recovering. My tongue swelled up and I canceled the tour. As I'm recovering I'm showing this."
As RadarOnline.com reported, Kilmer was forced to undergo an emergency tracheotomy in his life-or-death fight last winter against a throat tumor.
However, "I have no cancer whatsoever," Kilmer recently insisted in a lengthy Facebook post. "I still have a swollen tongue and am rehabbing steadily."


Bill Giehos shares with us some images of his 1/72nd scale S-100 schnellboot and used the classic Revell model. Bill has added 1/72nd scale figures which are also from Revell. The model is painted using Vallejo acrylics. For the weathering Bill used oils and pastels. The sea has been painted using Amsterdam acrylics and a lot of layers from the gel of the same brand.
Nasty customer there! Excellent work.

Before refurbishment options are appraised, the type, age, historical and intended use of a building all need to be considered.
Together with our in-house architect, we can help you come to a decision regarding what you do about your investment.
The building may be tired but too beautiful to consider knocking it down, or protected under local building conservation legislation, either way, the building often gets a reprieve.
One such building has been Summerdale, a three storey dwelling on the outskirts of Liverpool, situated in an idyllic location next to McGoldrick Park.
The roof was the first thing that had to be done to ensure that the building did not fall into any further state of disrepair.
As can be seen, the refurbishment works are half way through and the final completed pictures will be added to the site in due course.


If you love food as much as I do, Thanksgiving is your favorite holiday. All those meats, sides, stuffings, and gravies crammed into one spread! But my stomach can only contain so much food (oh, that I had two), so I went to some of L.A.'s top bartenders to find out what their favorite digestifs are to make room for seconds.

Former U.S. EPA Official Matt Bogoshian Joins REV Company
Oct 14, 2015 | Press Room
CALIFORNIA BASED COMPANY – REV SUSTAINABILITY CIRCLES – HELPS SAVE OVER TWO MILLION GALLONS OF WATER THROUGH CORPORATE WORKSHOPS
First aggregated report on California sustainability savings with over 250 companies who participated averaging $316,000 in cost savings
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – August 25, 2015 — REV, a social venture company that provides sustainability education and practices to businesses, organizations, communities and institutions, announced today the release of their aggregated report on environmental impact and savings on over hundreds of companies who participated in REV's Sustainability Circles since 2011. The combined total cost savings in several key areas averaged over $316,000 annually for each organization after improvements were identified and made. Most pressing to the state of California, and that were particularly impressive, were the water savings averaging 2.1 million gallons saved per organization per year.
The companies that participated in the REV Sustainability Circles varied in size and sector, from Fortune 1000 companies to school districts and small companies and that initiated with the intention to improve their environmental impact as well as their bottom line. Savings were made across the board, from lighting to recycling, to water, energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions.
Typical participant benefits included:
$316,133 projected average saved per year
1,495,618 kWh saved per year,
2,141,844 gallons saved per year,
4,509 therms saved per year,
1,059 tons of CO2 saved per year per organization.
"We are thrilled with the environmental impact and financial results that these companies have experienced," said Elliot Hoffman, CEO of REV. "Since the utility and energy sectors throughout the United States are in an early stage of a transformation, it is highly likely that the current utility model will transition to a far more energy efficient paradigm. There will be major shifts in mindset and behavior around the use of energy and other resources, and REV is excited to be deeply engaged in this transformation."
Those who participated in the program did so with a considerable discount. All four of California's Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs), along with California's second largest municipally owned utility, has agreements with REV to cover up to 75% of the Sustainability Circle fees. These utilities include:
Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E)
San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E)
Southern California Gas
Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD)
These partnerships are particularly timely with passing of California Assembly Bill 758, providing a 10-‐‑year roadmap to activate market forces and transform California's existing residential, commercial, and public buildings into high performing and energy efficient buildings. Also, more and more companies are interested in reducing their environmental footprint and incorporating sustainability in their business models – both to benefit their financial well being and also to provide a better world for current and future generations.
More information regarding average cost savings and benefits to companies and organizations are available on www.revsustainabilitycircles.com

THE SLAYERS OF SETH
by P.C. Doherty
Thirty years after winning a war against the cruel Hyksos of the Red Lands, the remaining heroes of the conflict, the Panthers of the South, are living, rich and prosperous, under Queen Hatusu's reign in Thebes—until they begin to fall victim, one by one, to the hand of an unknown slayer. Amerotke, Chief Judge of Egypt (The Anubis Slayings, 2001, etc.), would rather focus on another death: the poisoning of young scribe Ipumer, a stranger to the city and a member of the Hyksos. Because Lady Neshratta, daughter of General Peshedu, one of the Panthers, is charged with the murder, however, Amerotke, with his faithful servant Shufoy ever in attendance, postpones the trial to deal with the Panther-killings. Joining the surviving Panthers in a pilgrimage to the Red Lands—where they had buried the enemy Queen Meretseger 30 years before—he finds only an empty gravesite. Not until Amerotke resumes the trial of Neshratta do the killer's identity and cloudy motives come to light.
A confusing torrent of plot and subplot, along with a steady drip of minutely detailed descriptions of period dress and décor, makes the going heavy and unsuspenseful. Except perhaps for those with a special interest in the period, Amerotke's latest forgets that even in ancient Egypt, less could have been more.

Rhian Sugden with an LA twist: Sherra Michelle is Playboy's hottest property
The blonde bombshell is becoming one of the most in-demand ladies thanks to her gorgeous looks and smoking body.
Sherra, 26, has modelled for the likes of Playboy, Sports Illustrated and FHM.
She also has a fast-growing fanbase, with an impressive 103,000 fans on Instagram.
It's not surprising that the star has so many followers, consider her sizzling posts.
Sexy selfies, bikini snaps and lingerie reveals all feature of the beauty's account, raising temperatures with each post.
However, the star hasn't always been such a seasoned model.
She shared a hilarious story with us from her first ever Playboy audition at the age of 18.
Sherra exclusively told Daily Star Online: "My first time getting involved with Playboy was actually at the mansion in Beverley Hills.
"I didn't actually know what Playboy was, I thought it was a bikini, lingerie type of thing. I had no idea it was a nude magazine.
"It was a large casting. During the interview, first you talk and you tell them about yourself and then they do some video. They they said 'Now it's time to take your clothes off."
She continued: "I thought it was a joke. I was only 18 and I didn't know it was a nude magazine, I'd never looked at a nude magazine."
"I got really shy. I thought they were just seeing if I would do it, but they were like 'No, we're serious'."
Sherra said she eventually stripped off but things got more embarrassing.
She confessed: "One of the photo assistants was a girl I recognised from home, so it made me more awkward and shy and I threw my bra and it landed on her."
Evidently's she has a come a long way – one look at her shoots these days prove she's a total pro in front of the camera.

The Ron Baker era is over for the Knicks, and the love is now pouring in for the fan favorite.
The Knicks cut the 25-year-old Baker on Thursday to clear a roster spot after signing Allonzo Trier to a two-year deal.
Though Baker never lit up the scoreboard in his two-plus seasons off the New York bench, he won the favor of fans and coaches with his constant hustle and grit.
The undrafted guard thanked the franchise, the only NBA team he's played for.
"NYK was truly great to me," Baker tweeted. "My family, friends and I can't thank you enough! 8 yeard old RDB at the Utica KS park appreciated it!"

His Knicks coaches and teammates responded in kind.
Head coach David Fizdale said he wasn't easy breaking the news to Baker.
"This was the hardest one I've ever been part of," Fizdale said, according to Marc Berman of the New York Post. "Cutting Ron Baker was really rough. I talked to him today. He was fantastic. He's Ron Baker. He's a pro. He totally understood where we were. Obviously it goes without saying we're resources to him. If anyone ever calls me on him I'll have nothing but incredible things to say about him. I even joked to him a little bit when he's finally done, spend some time with me and I may have a coach on my hands there."
"One of the hardest working guys I know @ronbaker620 nothing but respect my brother! good luck," Kristaps Porzingis posted to Instagram.
"A True Professional, #thankyou" added Tim Hardaway Jr. in a post.
Mario Hezonja shared a similar sentiment.
"Love you Ron B!" he tweeted. "The most professional guy I've ever met! Best of luck to you my friend!"

European Network Adult ADHD – Editorial: Neural Correlates of Sluggish Cognitive Tempo: Biological Evidence of a Distinct Clinical Entity?
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a heterogeneous disorder encompassing a wide array of clinical presentations, levels of impairment, etiologies, and neurobiological correlates. Despite this well-known heterogeneity, most research into the pathophysiology of ADHD has relied on comparisons between typically developing youth and those with the disorder (or perhaps further stratifying by DSM-defined ADHD subtypes). Although informative, this approach assumes a level of pathophysiologic homogeneity that belies the large and growing body of literature underscoring diverse neurobiological and neuropsychological profiles subsumed under the umbrella of this complex syndrome.1 For example, deficits in executive functions are characteristic of ADHD, yet meta-analysis suggests that these deficits are neither necessary nor sufficient to define all cases2 and that substantial overlaps in levels of executive functioning exist between children with ADHD and their typically developing peers.1 Likewise, neuroimaging research points to distinct neural circuits underlying different clinical presentations of ADHD, suggesting that, within the diagnosis of ADHD, the neural circuits that are most salient to the disorder can differ from one child to the next.3 Refining our understanding of ADHD subtypes not only on the basis of symptoms, but also by incorporating neurobiology, physiology, and neurocognitive profiles, could help propel the field toward greater specificity in diagnosis and treatment.

America Isn't Getting More Liberal — It's Getting More Libertarian.
This week the New York Times' "Room for Debate" columnists discussed the question "has America become more liberal?" Debater Molly Worthen, a professor at UNC Chapel Hill, is no libertarian, but even she sees what many others have been saying: America isn't getting more liberal or more conservative — it's getting more libertarian.
A wide range of Gallup polls agree.
Take guns. In 1990, just 19 percent opposed "stricter laws covering the sale of firearms." In 1991, barely half opposed a law that would "ban the possession of handguns." In 2014, those numbers had risen to 52 percent and 73 percent, respectively.
On gay rights, Americans have also turned dramatically libertarian. In 1988, just a third of Americans thought gay and lesbian relations should be "legal." In 1996, only 27 percent thought gay marriage should be legal. In 2014, Americans favored legalizing both homosexuality and same-sex marriage by 69 percent and 60 percent, respectively.
Views on marijuana underwent a similarly quick turn. In 1995, just 25 percent of Americans favored legalizing marijuana. In 2014, it was a 51 percent.
On immigration, Americans are also much more open today. In 1996, only 38 percent opposed further restrictions on immigration; in the 1980s, just 41 percent favored legalization of unauthorized immigrants. In 2013, those numbers were 63 percent and 69 percent, respectively.
On economic issues, Americans are also growing skeptical of bigger government.
In 1993, 37 percent thought businesses should be regulated less; in 2014, a plurality, 49 percent, wanted fewer regulations. In 2000, just 38 percent said it was not the federal government's responsibility to ensure every American had health care; last year, 52 percent said health care was not the government's job.
This corresponds with an increase in the percentage of respondents indicating that the federal government has "too much power." In 2003, the first year the poll was taken, 39 percent agreed. In 2013, the number hit 60 percent.
This isn't a fluke. Political scientists Peter Ens and Julianna Koch pooled together hundreds of thousands of poll responses over the last fifty years to measure the public's "policy mood" (a measure of preference for more or less government). They found the public has become dramatically more economically conservative since the 1960s, and this shift happened in all fifty states and in every region of the country.
The public has also become more libertarian on foreign policy, the draft, and the environment.
Perhaps the most startling sign of how quickly the culture has changed is on interracial marriage, something that we absolutely take for granted today. But as late as 1994, only 48 percent of American thought it was "acceptable" for blacks to marry whites. Today, it's 87 percent.
Unfortunately, while the public at large is moving in a libertarian direction on many issues, the political parties are still representing the preferred statism of their base, even if its broader appeal is shrinking. Politicians are still catering to special interests in their constituencies, and long-established bureaucracies are still there and grinding away at our freedoms.
America today is light years ahead of where it was just a couple decades ago — whether that will translate into concrete change remains to be seen. But on at least three issues (gay rights, marijuana legalization, and gun rights), we have already seen a sea change in policy.

The Netherlands: Reunite refugee family with their children, don't deport the parents, UN human rights experts urge
GENEVA (30 July 2020) – The Netherlands must refrain from deporting two Ugandan refugee parents and their baby because it would separate them forever from their other children, UN human rights experts*said today.
They expressed serious concerns over the Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service's intention to revoke the refugee status of Jude Kasangaki and Anita Mavita and deport them to Uganda, along with their youngest child, a one-year-old boy, while leaving their other seven children scattered across five foster homes in the Netherlands.
"Deportation of the parents and the youngest child would irrevocably separate the seven children from their parents, disregarding their best interests," the experts said. "The children remaining in the Netherlands might never again see their parents, or their baby brother. Such a move would violate the right to family life and unity as guaranteed by the Convention on the Rights of the Child," they added.
The children, all under the age of 12, were forcibly removed from their parents in 2018, under contentious circumstances that have been subject to ongoing scrutiny by UN human rights experts and challenged in the courts by the parents.
"The removal of the children from their parents appears to have been influenced by racial and cultural biases that resulted in discriminatory treatment," the experts said.
Notably, the Netherlands has not facilitated any family or sibling visitation, or set forth a family reunification plan, since the forcible and traumatic removal of the children two years ago. The children have not seen their parents since then and have not even been allowed to speak to them on the phone since April 2019. In foster homes, the children are not allowed to speak their mother tongue, Luganda, and are cared for by people unfamiliar with Ugandan culture.
The experts called upon the Netherlands to respect its own court ruling that the children should see their parents and that the parents be assisted with child-care training and guidance as they had requested so the family could be reunited.
"We urge the Netherlands to reconsider the deportation, set forth a family reunification plan, and do an independent assessment of this case to determine what solution is in the children's best interests."
The experts – engaged with the Netherlands on this case for almost two years – reminded the country of its international human rights obligations to maintain family unity, and to do so on a non-discriminatory basis.
"We are concerned that separating the family by deporting the parents could amount to arbitrary or unlawful interference with family life; and sever family ties," they said. "The right to family life should be fully respected, protected and fulfilled in relation to every child without discrimination."
The experts have also received information claiming that there are factors that would create risk to the life and personal integrity of Mr. Kasangaki if deported. The Netherlands has the obligation under both the 1951 Refugee Convention and the UN Convention against Torture to comply with the principle of non-refoulement. This means no refugee should be returned to a country where their life or freedom would be in danger on account of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion. The experts have also requested the State to provide information on this claim.
They also urged the Netherlands not to discriminate against Mavita, who was granted refugee status independently of her husband. She has the right to an individual assessment of her case, they said.
