Portugal's forward Cristiano Ronaldo reacts during the international friendly football match between Portugal and Netherlands
Fan's dream moment caps of Ronaldo's horror night
by Staff Writers with AFP, AP
27th Mar 2018 10:49 AM
DURING an eventful night for Cristiano Ronaldo, he tried to cover up a terribly scuffed shot with a dive and a passionate call for a penalty as Portugal went down 3-0 to the Netherlands.
The Real Madrid attacker completely mis-hit the ball before fuming at the referee who denied him a penalty. But replays clearly showed absolutely no contact between him and opposition players.
A number of pitch invaders got way too close for comfort throughout the night - Ronaldo was kissed by an overzealous fan, before hugging another who ran on in a Real Madrid shirt. Ronaldo was subbed soon after, but another fan made it onto the pitch at the same time, before being held back by stewards.
It was a dreadful outing for Portugal and its World Cup preparations, as the side was dominated by a Dutch team that didn't even qualify for Russia.

Elsewhere in international friendly action, Uruguay won the China Cup with a 1-0 victory over Wales care of an Edinson Cavani goal, while the Czech Republic beat China 4-1 in the same tournament.
Socceroos tormentors Norway registered another victory, beating Albania 1-0.

Netherlands' defender Virgil van Dijk celebrates scoring his team's third goal
It was a first defeat inside 90 minutes for Portugal since gifting Sweden a 3-2 comeback win in a friendly almost exactly a year ago. The European champion also lost a penalty shootout to Chile in the Confederations Cup semifinals in June. Ronaldo saved his team from defeat on Friday with two stoppage-time headers to beat World Cup-bound Egypt 2-1.
Portugal's forward Goncalo Guedes, left, reacts after missing a goal chance against Netherlands
Fonte, playing in the Chinese league, let Depay get in front of him to pounce on a loose ball and open the scoring. It finished off a sweeping Dutch counterattack keyed by Davy Propper's neat pass infield from the left flank, which let Depay find Van Dijk surging forward on the right.
De Ligt went deep into the Portugal defense to create the next two goals, first firing a powerful cross from near the byline that Babel met unmarked to guide the ball in with his head.
In stoppage time, De Ligt was alone at the far post to meet a free kick with a header looped into the path of Van Dijk for a crisp shot across the goalmouth into the corner of the net.
WALES 0-1 URUGUAY
Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani scored the only goal of the game as Uruguay defeated Wales 1-0 to win the China Cup.
The South Americans had the better of the match as Ryan Giggs' side struggled to replicate the form shown in their demolition of hosts China 0-6 last Thursday in the semi-final.
An open and attacking match in Nanning got off to a bright start as Luis Suarez hit the post from inside the box following a low cross after just two minutes.
The Barcelona forward again struck the woodwork in the 31st minute after latching onto a sloppy Wales back-pass and rounding goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey. However the former Liverpool man hit the post with an open goal at his mercy.

Concert Review: Hot Chip & The XX, April 20, Kool Haus
Toronto – Rarely do you see a double bill of epic proportions. Both The XX and Hot Chip could have sold out many venues in Toronto by themselves, yet they have chosen to join forces like Crosby and Malkin and take over the Kool Haus for one night. The show was beyond sold out and I was lucky enough to have tickets for the show. Having seen and loved both bands live before, I was quite excited for the show.
I like to do this thing called 'call the venue beforehand and ask for set times'. I did this, and the women on the other end on the phone said that The XX was going to be on at 9:45. Great! I thought. I would have time to watch most of the Pens-Sens game and then go to the Kool Haus. Since when are bands ever on time? Well, not only was the XX on time, but they were early! I was shocked when my coworker texted me at 9:35 and said that the band just took the stage. Luckily, Toronto is a city of cabs and we were able to get one right away. However, the cab driver did not know where the Kool Haus is. How is that even possible? If I was a cab driver, I would scope out all the concerts and show up right when the show ends and take all the 905ers back to the suburbanite basements where they belong. Clearly this man had spent too much time studying medicine or neurosurgery and not enough time studying traffic routes in whatever country he had come from.
Arriving at the Kool Haus at around 9:45, I gathered we had missed about two or three XX songs. Bummer for Gary I guess. The XX must really hate England or have some severe gambling debts back home, for they have been touring FOREVER since their album came out, and this is their third show in Toronto since December. Having seen them in December, there has been notable growth in their live performance. The band is definitely more calm on stage and definitely have developed the confidence to tweak a lot of their songs in the live environment. The set was more or less identical to their set at SXSW, right down to the crazy drumming at the end of Infinity by Oliver Sim. As you would expect, they played all the songs off their debut album. The vocals were somewhat muffled by the Kool Haus sound system, which was a shame. The crowd was mostly enthusiastic for the band but there were definitely some chatty betty's in the crowd and considering the XX's music contains some quiet parts, that was quite the distraction.
All in all, a good showing by The XX. Even though they aren't very lively on stage, their music speaks for itself. You can see them many times and still get shivers whenever Infinity or Basic Space places.
Judging by the colorful nature of the crowd's fashion choices, I would say most people were here for Hot Chip. The London band was in town to promote their latest album – One Life Stand. I've seen Hot Chip twice already, so I knew what to expect – a good dance session. I skipped my gym workout Tuesday night because I figure I'd get my exercise in at this show. I was correct. Going to a Hot Chip concert is like going to any other electronic act – if you aren't dancing, then you will not enjoy the concert. That's what their music and shows are about. If you want to stand there and sway, then go to Beach House or She and Him. Hot Chip is for people who like to dance. Having said that, I felt kinda sorry for all the people cramped in the middle of the Kool Haus. The show was sold out, so unless you were off to the side (like we were), you were pretty crammed in. This does not bode well for dancing and so I figure most of the people in the middle did not have as great a time.
Hot Chip played around 80 minutes. The set consisted of a handful of tunes off their new album and some carefully chosen numbers from previous recording. I am not that familiar with their new material but Thieves in the Night, One Life Stand and the single I Feel Better (in the encore) got some good reception. For my money, Over and Over is still their best song and the crowd went bonkers for that tune. I kind of described what that song is like live in my review of their last show. Other classic Hot Chip tunes played included A Boy From School, Hold On and set closer Ready for the Floor. Needless to say, the Kool Haus was transformed into a sweaty dance pit.
Overall, a great night of music, featuring two bands of extremely different sounds. Both were great and you can't really ask for more.
Check out the new XX video, Islands, here:

I used to live in a basement in the 905. Who misses 2002?
Riaz April 21, 2010
Definitely the best show I've ever been to, and that's saying something. They played every song I wanted to hear.
They also did a dj set at Wrongbar afterwards. All of them showed up, were interacting with the crowd, taking pictures with people. I was one of a handful of people left on the dancefloor at 3:30am (most people dispersed by that point)and they were "still" giving it. Great musicians and true gentlemen, very gracious. Incredible night and awesome review.
Bruce April 21, 2010
Ricky,
Thanks for the review, just a note about the XX's set: They did a total of 8 songs, so not quite the whole album (they left out Heart Skipped a Beat, Fantasy, and Stars). Confirmed when I saw the set list at the sound booth. I'm sure no-one (even Hot Chip) would have minded if they'd done them all!
Ricky April 21, 2010
Ahh yea Bruce, arrived late, just assumed those songs were played already.

Censoring Letters Home – Jim Ross
As an eleven-year-old in the late 1950s, I stored my clothes in the two top drawers of a marbled mahogany dresser that used to be Mom's and Dad's. One day, bored, I explored a lower drawer filled with black and white photos. There I found a three-inch stack of letters in their original envelopes sent to Mom by men in combat during World War II. Many were marked "free," meaning postage wasn't required. Others bore various U.S. stamps from the 30s and 40s, some of which were new to me. Seeing no reason why I shouldn't, I decided to open and read the letters. It looked like somebody had drilled holes through them. So many words had been cut out, it was hard to make head or tail of what the writer intended.
I went downstairs and asked Mom, "Why do these letters look like Swiss cheese?"
Mom said, "The censors snipped every word that looked suspicious."
"Why?" I asked.
"If someone told where their ship was located, that had to be removed. If they said something that just might be secret code to give something away, snip snip snip," Mom answered, scissoring with her fingers in the air.
"Did the censors think your friends were spies?"
"They assumed anyone could be. You never knew. Every country tries to infiltrate, to get information that gave them an advantage. The Germans did it, so did the Italians, the Japanese—and we were doing it and so were our allies. That's what war looks like.
"Did the Germans have censors?" I asked.
"I didn't know anybody from the countries we were fighting so I didn't get any letters from Germany. But, war is war, I'm sure they did," Mom said.
"Can you make sense out of the Swiss cheese?"
Mom answered, "We were kids together. We went to the same church. We sang together,
danced together. We knew each other's secrets. That helped me guess what silly things these guys might be saying. But, sometimes, I had no clue, and starting in 1943 your father wasn't around to help."
"Was he at war?" I asked.
"At war, yes, but he didn't go Germany or the Pacific, like most of them."
"Where'd he go?"
"Oh," I said.
"No. Oh, hi, yo."
"Huh? If you couldn't understand the letters, why did they matter?" I asked.
"Because if I got a letter from Uncle Al, that meant Uncle Al was still alive. If I got a
letter from Snoozie, it meant Snoozie had something he wanted to tell me."
"Why do you still keep them?"
Mom said, "Because those were our boys. And some of the men who wrote me didn't
make it home."
"Are those guys in those pictures?"
"I have pictures of every one. Would you like me to show you?"
"Maybe later. Can I tear off the stamps?"
"Sure, just put the letters back where you found them."
"I wish you'd gotten some German stamps."
Jim Ross jumped back into creative pursuits five years ago after leaving public health research. He's since published poetry, nonfiction, and photography in over 100 journals and anthologies in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Based on one story, he'll imminently appear in a televised, high-profile, limited documentary series. He and his wife split their time between city and mountains.

'I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE'
Girlfriend, 25, repeatedly throttled, punched and kicked by thug partner after she turned him down for sex
Sarah Tasker, 25, suffered a fractured cheek bone during the "despicable" three-hour assault at the hands of ex-boyfriend Jamie Bamforth
Ellie Flynn
A BRAVE young woman has told how she was throttled, punched and kicked by her thug partner after she turned him down for sex.

As the 27-year-old begins a 32-month prison sentence, Sarah has chosen to speak out about her ordeal in the hope of inspiring others to report domestic abuse.
Sarah's ordeal began when Bamforth returned to their home in Hull, East Yorks., in the early hours of July 16.
He shouted at Sarah, asking if she wanted sex, and accused her of being unfaithful when she refused.
The 25-year-old denied cheating on him and the vile attacker launched the lengthy assault on his partner.
Speaking after the hearing, Sarah said she wanted to tell her story to warn anyone who gets involved with Bamforth in the future.
She said: "I just want to make sure any of his future girlfriends don't have to go through what I went through.
"I'm a different person now. My mental state and my emotional state are going to take a long time to heal but I used to be secretive and not talk to anyone but that's changing now.
"To my friends and family I'm getting back to how I was before I met Jamie."

Prosecuting, Stephen Welch told Hull Crown Court Bamforth began his assault by punching her repeatedly and throwing a barefooted "hard kick" to her face before he "squeezed her throat" with his hands.
Welch said Bamforth then broke a mirror over his head and drew a blade of glass across his wrist, saying he was "going to cut himself".
During the attack, Sarah had been looking for her mobile phone to call for help but realised Bamforth had taken it.
Her violent ex had texted her employer to say she would not be at work the next day.
Despite the ferociousness of the assault, Sarah says she initially thought about staying with Bamforth and did not plan to tell police.
She said: "The day after it happened, I was still thinking about going back.
"I went into work, because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get out of the flat if I didn't go to work and my sister called and I just broke down on the phone.
"My mum dragged me to the hospital and she called the police for me."

While this was the first time Bamforth had attacked Sarah in such a way, looking back she says it was obvious he had become more abusive.
She said: "I don't understand why I let it go on so long. There were so many times I could have left and I didn't.
"I just feel so stupid now and I don't want it to happen to anybody else."
Bamforth admitted grievous bodily harm and wept in the dock when he was sentenced - while Sarah broke down in tears when she heard he had been jailed.
She said: "I thought he would get off. Jamie can be quite shy and I was worried people wouldn't believe me because he was so nice around other people.
"After everything I went through, it's over. I've closed the book on that part of my life."
Defending, Jayne Bryan said Bamforth was desperate to change his ways, had shown "genuine remorse" and wanted to start a family with Sarah.
But recorder David Dixon said the young woman "thought she was going to die".
Bamforth was sentenced to 32-months in prison and was given a five-year restraining order banning him from trying to contact Sarah other than through a solicitor.


Rome Fiumicino Airport or Leonardo de Vinci International as it is sometimes known, is Italy's largest airport and the busiest, with over 36 million passengers passing through every year. Rome is the capital city of Italy and often referred to as the 'eternal city' due to its rich culture and history, that never fails to impress. If you have car hire at Rome Fiumicino Airport, you can take the A91 motorway into the city of Rome, a journey that should take no more than 1 hour, depending on traffic.
Rome Fiumicino Airport has 4 terminals on total. Terminal 1 deals with European flights, whilst terminals 2 and 3 deal with domestic flights. Terminal 5 is used for flights to the USA and Israel. The airport has all the facilities you could need, including a pharmacy, post office and a business centre. There are banks, ATMs and currency exchange services if you need some extra cash. You can shop until you drop at the airport as there are over 80 shops, with luxury branded items and Made in Italy products. Duty free shopping is on offer at Good Buy Rome outlets. If you get hungry, there are 35 cafes and restaurants to choose from serving everything from the finest Italian cuisine and pizza to sandwiches and Asian food.
One of the most visited cities in Europe; Rome is nothing short of spectacular. The rich heritage and incredible Roman buildings transport you back to another era and you can see why the city's folk are so proud of their history. The Coliseum is a must see, this huge amphitheatre once was used for gladiator battles and its spectacular scale, takes your breath away. The Pantheon and St Peter's Basilica are close by as well as the Castel Sant'Angelo. Take the Spanish Steps up to Piazza Di Spagnia and buy gelato. You can also visit the Vatican and its museum and see the Sistine Chapel. Don't forget to throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain to make sure you return to Rome.
Although, Rome is a wonder in itself and you could never have to leave the city, it is worth exploring the area with car hire in Rome. There is beautiful countryside with ancient ruins, just outside the city that are just waiting to be discovered. Further afield you can visit the ancient city of Pompeii and the lakeside town of Frascati.


Wake each morning with the sun burning stronger than the last. Fill containers from tiny soaks and depart tranquility with some trepidation.
Encounter mere waist high scrub and make good time to the first knoll. At the base of the subsequent descent, scout around knee deep in a brightly lit swamp with no apparent exit.
Locate clues in the form of a solitary faded tape fragment and some helpfully bent twigs, climb onto Kameruka Moraine.
Methodically progress along the broken ridge line. Lose the trail on the final descent to the saddle before PB and forge a path through heavy scrub. Stumble on the lumpy stumps of Low Camp, a touch under six slow hours from Wylly Plateau.
Select the most directly western route from a maze of pads in every direction leading god knows where. Within a few lucky minutes find the cut track up PB. Negotiate a clambery bit… beyond, a rock staircase.
Relax at High Camp sweltering in late afternoon sun slanting low over the parapet to the west. Leave socks and shorts to bake on warm flat rocks. Luxuriously survey the entire route from Pindars, laid out far below.
Keep company with the sun as it sinks over New River Lagoon and beyond to Ile du Golfe and the Maatsuyker group, a single fluffy cloud crowning Temple Point on De Witt island. Recline in the quiet night and disappear into galaxies of stars spreading infinite across the milky way.

Dragonfly: An Exploration of Eco-fiction Posted on September 10, 2018 by Mary Woodbury March 27, 2019
Click here to return to the series
The global novel exists, not as a genre separated from and opposed to other kinds of fiction, but as a perspective that governs the interpretation of experience. In this way, it is faithful to the way the global is actually lived–not through the abolition of place, but as a theme by which place is mediated. Life lived here is experienced in its profound and often unsettling connections with life lived elsewhere, and everywhere. The local gains dignity, and significance, insofar as it can be seen as a part of a worldwide phenomenon.
-Adam Kirsch, The Global Novel: Writing the World in the 21st Century
Part V. The Green Gold of Borneo, by Emin Madi
Today we travel to Borneo, to Sabah's Lost World, a wondrous and isolated basin that surprisingly has not been too explored nor exploited like many other areas in the world that contain such beauty and abundant natural resources, all within a montane ecosystem. Nature explorers are allowed but must get advance permission from the Yayasan Sabah Group, a state-sanctioned organization in Malaysia, which designated the basin as a conservation area in 1981. Imagine rolling mountains and tall Agathis trees, white sands, and a jungle woodland snuggled beneath the place where the mist meets the sky.
Published in June 2018 (Austin Macauley), The Green Gold of Borneo, which author Emin Madi describes as docu-fiction, takes us there. Emin, a Dusun, was born in 1949 at Sinungkalangan, a remote village in Tambunan District, and grew up at Kampung Bayangan, Keningau, Sabah, East Malaysia. He served in the Malaysian Armed Forces for several years before quitting; he took up journalism in early '70s. He is still freelancing for the Malaysian National News Agency (BERNAMA). He and his wife, Siti Habsah Abdillah, and their two sons, Mohd Ezrie and Mohd Erwin, live in Kota Kinabalu, the state capital of Sabah. He is currently working on a book about his life in the army.
The docu-novel introduces a strong-willed journalist who fails to heed a Murut shaman's advice to conquer the unexplored, saucer-like forested mountain summit that sits in the middle of a 390 km remote nature paradise, better known as Maliau Basin (a.k.a. Sabah's Lost World), in the Eastern Sabah State of Malaysia Borneo. Before embarking on his quest, the journalist encounters unusual happenings and experiences strange events in unlikely situations. He suspects these weird incidents have something to do with his plan to conquer the summit. He's also suspicious that the Tingkaayoh have kept many secrets from him and dislikes the idea that anyone is about to reveal it to the world.
The book is a fast-paced read, which leaves the reader in suspense page after page. I caught a whiff of Socratic dialogue, somewhat similar to Daniel Quinn's My Ishmael. In The Green Gold of Borneo, a journalist named Erwin has interest in entering the basin–but he is also engaged by a shaman who has wisdom to share about the importance of spirituality and sacredness of the nature within the basin. One could call this a cautionary tale.
I talked with Emin about his book, which had put me under a spell. Imagine a faraway land, which seems too good to be true, and then imagine it really exists. Here's our conversation.
Mary: Can you tell us about your background and how it led to writing about the Maliau Basin?
Emin: The story incorporates historical and real life events, place and names of certain distinguished personalities, foreign and local institutions, environmental players, and environmentalists. The book also detailed the place and historical background of Maliau Basin Conservation Area (MBCA).
As a journalist, I had the opportunity to participate many resource and wildlife surveys inside Malaysian eastern state of Sabah's last remaining virgin rainforests. My first foray into environmental reporting was back in the 1980s, covering a scientific expedition in the now world renown Danum Valley Conservation Area in Lahad Datu, Sabah. The scientific research also involved foreign researchers, including from the Royal Society, UK.
Sabah has three premier conservation areas (totally protected areas): Danum Valley, Maliau Basin, and Imbak Canyon, which were established for the purpose of scientific research, recreation, protection of ecology, environment, and climactic conditions.
In 2013, I spent 10 days with a group of researchers at the 58,000-hectare MBCA, and that was where I got the idea to write an environmental-based docufiction or eco-fiction. I came to realize that natural wonders, and, in this case, the last remaining undisturbed wilderness in Sabah is a very interesting topic for creative writing.
I was even more excited after some expedition participants told me about mysterious events that took place around MBCA. So I used MBCA as a central theme for The Green Gold of Borneo and also based it on my own hands-on experiences working alongside scientists and researchers.
Being a journalist, I would say that environmental reporting was truly an awakening experience, because the survey and research works were meant to monitor potential threats to one of Southeast Asia's last remaining stronghold of virtually undisturbed rainforest. In fact, the Danum Valley Conservation Area is one of the three leading rainforest research centers in the world, besides La Selva in Costa Rica and Baro Colorado Island in Panama.
My affinity for the forest must have come naturally, as my childhood upbringing is somewhat surrounded by great forest. My small thatched-roof house happened to be on the fringe of a vast virgin forest in the interior district of Sabah (formerly a British colony), and almost every day I could hear birds singing, the calling of monkeys, and I watched all that crawls, leaps, and dances in its wake. Unfortunately, the forest has since disappeared to make way for agricultural activities. However, I could never forget those wonderful feelings of traversing the peaceful and magical tranquility.
In hindsight, it was rather a misguided passion, because at that tender age I had no way of understanding the meaning of dipterocarp forest and ecosystem, let alone its great conservation importance.
Mary: What an amazing memory! What is "green gold"?
Emin: Green gold is a metaphor to describe the mindboggling wealth/value of the undisturbed natural resources (forest) in Sabah's most important natural heritage, i.e Maliau Basin, Danum Valley, and Imbak Canyon conservation areas.
From my own observations, despite realistic conservation efforts by the Malaysian Government, particularly the Sabah State Government, the fully protected forest would still be vulnerable, especially so if future political leaders or government of the day have little concern or passion for the natural environment, not to mention the threat from poachers, gaharu (Aquilaria or eaglewood) hunters, and illegal logging. The biggest threat would be destructive short-sighted political decisions, such as sacrificing the pristine jungle and wildlife habitat for "economic growth".
Sabah's wild is home to some 1,500 Borneo pygmy elephants, which are listed as endangered in the World Conservation Union (IUCN) Red Data Book.
Mary: Let's hope that no such destructive decisions happen in the area. Can you explain the spiritual beings in the book?
Emin: The shaman, spiritual beings, and certain characters are fictional and are based on my acquaintance with some local traditional healers, including the Murut people, who are able to communicate with the spiritual beings.
Mary: You mentioned that the spiritual beings might feel the effect of global warming. Is the tie-in between spiritually and natural areas real or common in North Borneo?
Emin: These are purely imaginary and not in any way related to physical characters. I was simply assuming that the spiritual beings are also very disturbed about the destruction of their world (the forest) and therefore voiced out their grave concerns about its ecological impact, hence contributing to global warming. I used the spiritual beings as an advocate of a particular cause or idea. Betarak is probably a myth about a person performing a solitary animistic ritual, usually at a quiet and far away from human settlement, supposedly to gain supernatural power by submitting himself as 'students' to the spiritual beings.
Mary: Is it true that nobody has ever really explored Maliau Basin?
Emin: Some areas have been visited but not the highest part of the rim. It's difficult to say where the innermost part of the basin is, because as a basin shape area, the innermost part would probably be located on the valley floor or gorge of the river.
Dubbed as the "Lost World of Borneo," Maliau Basin is one area where all conditions for extremely rare human visitation combine. The MBCA Strategic Management Plan, in 2003-2013, did not specifically mentioned people having conquered Maliau Basin's highest part of the rim but stated that people have been to the basin often enough in the last few centuries for the local Tagal Murut to called it the "Land of Giant Staircase" from its step-like rivers and abundant cascading waterfalls. Maliau means bowl or basin. One reason why there is no official record of people reaching Maliu Basin's highest rim is because it is too rugged. The earliest reported sighting of Maliau Basin was in 1947 when a British pilot of a light aircraft, flying from the west coast of Sabah to Tawau, on the east coast, nearly crashed into the steep cliff rising 1,900 meters above the jungle floor.
It was reported that geological and soil survey teams passed nearby in 1960s and early 1970s. Only in 1972 did a Forestry Department team reach Lake Linumunsut at the foot of Gunung Lotung. None of these groups tried to enter the basin, and the first attempt of the forest botany group in 1976 failed in the near-vertical terrain of the northern rim. In 1980, a Sabah Museum team attempted the western rim but was hampered by malaria and lack of supplies.
Mary: This is all fascinating. Thank you so much, Emin, for bringing to light the delicate nature of this basin in Borneo. And thank you for the gracious time you extended in providing this interview.
The Green Gold of Borneo provides a fictional story surrounded by factual history and modern concerns about the basin; it's an interesting novel that takes us to a different world, but the potentiality for crisis is real, something that people everywhere might connect to. Nature Economy and People Connected says that the basin is an area under threat:
Scientific exploration has established Maliau as a global biodiversity hotspot, home to more than 270 bird species, many of which are IUCN Red Listed species. BirdLife International has designated it an Important Bird Area (IBA), marking its importance within global biodiversity conservation.
Besides this, vast stocks of carbon are stored in its trees and soil, which only underlines its environmental importance. Failing to secure this carbon reserve will further fuel climate change.
The article goes into concerns about deforestation and palm oil extraction in Borneo–something that the Maliau Basin has escaped so far. It is great to see that Yayasan Sabah and other organizations are protecting this land. With books such as Emin's, the forest–in myth, song, and nature–comes even more alive and important for those of us wishing to imagine it from afar.

Bobii Frutii just opened their first Canadian location in Richmond BC and started in Taiwan, with another location in Singapore. They specialize in Instagrammable bubble teas that don't have any artificial preservatives, stabilizers, or artificial colouring. The drinks are very beautiful, but we decided to stop here to see if it lives up to the hype.
The store has a few seats inside but its not too busy when we went on a weekday afternoon. The interior has a lot of concrete greys and brown woody colours.
This extraordinary bubble milk tea is made with layers of red tea, milk and brown sugar pearls. A classic choice and you can really taste the subtle brown sugar in the pearls that aren't too over powering and it works nicely with the tea and milk. Delicious. Make sure it mix it before you drink it to incorporate all the layers.
The name of this drink is so cheeky. It is made with oolong tea, milk and their Butterfly Pea Pearls. It looks similar to the extraordinary milk tea and taste similar but less sweet due to the type of pearls.
One of the more expensive options at Bobii Frutii and it's their Matcha beverages as they use carefully selected Marukyu-Koyamaen matcha from Uji, Kyoto. Each order is hand whisked to ensure quality.
There is matcha, milk and their original pearls in this drink. The matcha is so good and you can taste the quality and its not too sweet. A good ratio of tea and sweetness.
Overall, it's a good quality of bubble tea, looks great, tastes great, but it is higher in price compared to other bubble tea shops in the area. With so many options in Richmond, it's definitely hard to compete.

Ilie Matei (* 11. Juli 1960 in Râșca) ist ein ehemaliger rumänischer Ringer und Gewinner der Silbermedaille bei den Olympischen Spielen 1984 in Los Angeles im griechisch-römischen Stil im Halbschwergewicht.

Werdegang
Ilie Matei wuchs in Suceava auf und begann dort als Jugendlicher mit dem Ringen. Er ist moldauischer Abstammung. Ilie Matei spezialisierte sich auf den griech.-röm. Stil und entwickelte sich mit der damals in den ehemaligen Ostblock-Staaten enormen staatlichen Unterstützung (Staatsamateur) bald zum besten Halbschwergewichtsringer Rumäniens und zu einem internationalen Spitzenringer. Sein Debüt auf der internationalen Ringermatte bei den Senioren gab er bei den Balkan-Spielen 1979 in Jambol. Er gewann dort vor solchen Spitzenringern wie Atanas Komtschew aus Bulgarien, Josef Tertelj aus Jugoslawien u. Seyfullah Sahingoez aus der Türkei.

Ab 1981 startete Ilie Matei dann auch regelmäßig bei den großen internationalen Meisterschaften im Seniorenbereich. Nach einem 7. Platz bei der Weltmeisterschaft im Jahre 1981 in Oslo verfehlte er im Jahre 1982 mit vierten Plätzen bei der Europameisterschaft in Warna und bei der Weltmeisterschaft in Kattowitz beide Male nur ganz knapp die Medaillenränge. Er scheiterte in jenen Jahren meist an den damals die Ringerszene im Halbschwergewicht beherrschenden Igor Kanygin aus der UdSSR, Frank Andersson aus Schweden sowie Atanas Komtschew, der sich enorm entwickelt hatte.

Bei der Europameisterschaft 1983 in Budapest gewann Ilie Matei dann mit einem 3. Platz hinter Kanygin u. Komtschew seine erste Bronzemedaille bei einer internationalen Meisterschaft, der bei der Weltmeisterschaft des gleichen Jahres in Kiew ein 5. Platz folgte.

Im Jahre 1984 begann Ilie Matei mit einem 5. Platz bei der Europameisterschaft in Jönköping im Halbschwergewicht. Bei den Olympischen Spielen dieses Jahres in Los Angeles nützte er dann die Gunst der Stunde und gewann hinter dem US-Amerikaner Steve Fraser die Silbermedaille. Bei einem äußerst knappen Kampfverlauf verlor er dabei gegen Fraser bei einem Punktestand von 1:1 nur durch einen umstrittenen Kampfrichterentscheid.

Im Jahre 1985 bestätigte Ilie Matei die Silbermedaille von Los Angeles durch einen hervorragenden zweiten Platz bei der Europameisterschaft in Leipzig. Er verlor dabei im Finale gegen Igor Kanygin. Bei der Weltmeisterschaft 1985 in Kolbotn/Norwegen landete er auf den 4. Platz.

1986 gewann Ilie Matei bei der Europameisterschaft in Athen noch einmal eine Medaille und erreichte auch im Jahre 1987 noch einmal gute Platzierungen sowohl bei der Weltmeisterschaft in Clermont-Ferrand als auch bei der Europameisterschaft in Tampere.

Am Ende des Ringerjahres 1987 trat Ilie Matei vom internationalen Ringergeschehen zurück. Er hatte eine beeindruckende Karriere hinter sich und sich immer im Vorderfeld der Meisterschaften platziert, an denen er teilnahm. Ilie Matei studierte am Institut für Sport und Körpererziehung der Universität Suceava und arbeitete danach als Sportlehrer.

While walking from the theater to a restaurant the other day (when we saw the nominated animated shorts) we passed several trendy shops in ABQ's Nob Hill District. When we passed one fashion boutique I did a major doubletake. OMG! That was so hawt!

Pop star Alessia Cara won the coveted "Best New Artist" honor at the 2018 Grammy Awards. The "Scars To Your Beautiful" singer faced stiff competition in fellow nominees SZA, Khalid, Lil Uzi Vert and Julia Michaels.
"I've been 'pretend-winning' Grammys since I was a kid in my shower," she told the audience. "You think I'd have the speech thing down, but I absolutely don't."
"I just want to encourage everyone to support real music and real artists," she continued. "Everyone deserves the same shot."
"I'm such a huge fan of all of the other artists that were nominated, so I would have been just as happy if they won," she said backstage after receiving her award. "I don't feel like the best, and this doesn't mean that I'm the best either, but it's a really crazy accomplishment either way."
She is also up for "Song Of The Year" for her songwriting contributions to "1-800-273-8255." Watch her speech below.


Longtime readers may remember my three-part Pithy Reader's Companion series from early in this site's existence; for the unfamiliar, it worked like this: over on the Jedi Council Forums, I ran an ongoing thread called One Sentence or Less, wherein participants would summarize assorted works from the Expanded Universe in one sentence—the "or less" part was half joke, half gentle nudge toward brevity, but it didn't always work out that way; ETE staffer Lucas Jackson's synopsis of The Swarm War actually held the record (until now, that is) at 242 words, all still technically one sentence.
Anyway, readers would vote for their favorites via the forum's "like" system, and after two days or so, whoever had the most likes won the round. After about a year, I compiled all the winners into the three-volume Pithy Companion, and there was much mirth to be had. The thread went on under the guidance of my fellow poster known as @instantdeath, and while activity has sadly waned in recent months, enough new winners emerged that I thought I'd use the occasion of the one-year anniversary of the original series of articles to catch back up with it, in Volume IV of the Pithy Companion. While each part of the original series focused on a third of the Star Wars timeline, this time I'll cover basically the whole shebang, within the loose confines of "stuff I didn't get around to in the first year". Highlights include the the Knights of the Old Republic games, Fate of the Jedi, and the entire—yes, entire—Jedi Prince series, perhaps best known for its first book, The Glove of Darth Vader. Enjoy!
and creating a great deal of mess.


Where operators have reciprocal space sharing with other operators, though they issue their own bills of lading, the standard Rules cover generally provides USD 350 million coverage per event.
However, operators frequently buy space or slots where the basis is not reciprocal, and hence need additional coverage. The Club offers various limits of coverage for the potential exposure to cargo claims under a bill of lading where cargo is carried on another owners ship.

Faith is not merely a personal reaching out towards things to come that are still totally absent: it gives us something. It gives us even now something of the reality we are waiting for, and this present reality constitutes for us a "proof" of the things that are still unseen. Faith draws the future into the present, so that it is no longer simply a "not yet". The fact that this future exists changes the present; the present is touched by the future reality, and thus the things of the future spill over into those of the present and those of the present into those of the future – Spe Salvi.

Black Lives Matter Protests In The UK: Where, When & How To Join Safely
Dan Kitwood / Getty / PA Images
With protests set to continue in the U.S. over the weekend, the UK is also preparing to stand in solidarity, supporting the Black Lives Matter movement with demonstrations across the country. From London to Edinburgh, Manchester to Southampton, thousands are preparing to march this weekend.
Protesting isn't the only way you can show your support, of course, but if you are marching, there are a few things to keep in mind and know. How to reduce cybersecurity risks, for example, but also what to wear to a protest to stay safe. Read on for more information on what to do if you are stopped by police in the UK and the public health measures you need to remain vigilant of.
What do UK lockdown measures say about protesting?
As BBC News reports, there are no rules that are explicitly against protesting during the pandemic. However, the government guidelines do state that while you can spend unlimited time outdoors, you can only meet up "in groups of up to six people from different households, following social distancing guidelines." This is obviously harder to do in a protest, but many organisers have been firm about adhering to guidelines and social distancing measures.
Could I be fined for taking part in a protest?
There is a possibility you could be fined "on coronavirus health grounds," as per BBC News. In a statement regarding George Floyd's death, the National Police Chief's Council shared their support, but also warned about not gathering in groups of more than six people: "We stand alongside all those across the globe who are appalled and horrified by the way George Floyd lost his life," the statement reads.
"We know people want to make their voices heard. The right to lawful protest is a key part of any democracy, which UK police uphold and facilitate. But coronavirus remains a deadly disease and there are still restrictions in in place to prevent its spread, which include not gathering outside in groups of more than six people. So for whatever reason people want to come together, we ask that people continue to work with officers at this challenging time."
What should I do if I'm stopped by police?
Black Lives Matter UK have put together helpful resources outlining exactly what to do if you are stopped by the police, as well as up-to-date bustcards outlining key advice and local legal aid contacts, should you need them.
Among their key advice is to say "no comment" to all police questions; to not accept a caution without advice from a solicitor; and to insist on your right to free legal advice at the police station.
What public health measures should I need to be mindful of before and during a protest?
The collective anger, grief and wider calls for police reform cannot and should not be undermined, but the potential health implications of mass gatherings during a pandemic cannot be ignored. Therefore, a number of organisations have spoken out about the personal precautions all protesters must take. They include:
Assess your own health. Do you have symptoms of coronavirus? Have you come into contact with anyone that has recently contracted the virus? If so, you should not physically joining the protest.
Take the vulnerable people in your life into account. Earlier this week, government reports confirmed that people from ethnic minorities are at a higher risk of dying from coronavirus, and if you have contact with people in your life who are more susceptible to the virus, then it's highly advisable that you consider their safety and wellbeing.
Be prepared to self-isolate for two weeks following a protest in order to prevent potential spread within your household and local community, as per LDN BLM.
Socially distance where possible while protesting. If you do attend the protest with friends and family, try to keep it to a small group and be transparent about symptoms and previous potential exposure.
Wear PPE at all times, including masks and gloves. Also carry spares and hand sanitiser, to keep yourself and those around you protected. Also keep in mind all these best practice measure when wearing – and removing – your face mask..
Yelling can spread the virus, so "choose signs, drums, or similar noise makers" advises Ellie Murray, epidemiology assistant professor at Boston University School of Public Health.
