Sainte-Anne-de-Kent est à la fois un village canadien et un district de services locaux (DSL) du comté de Kent, à l'est du Nouveau-Brunswick.

Toponymie

Les Archives provinciales du Nouveau-Brunswick ne précisent pas l'origine du nom de Sainte-Anne-de-Kent, excepté que le toponyme était simplement Sainte-Anne avant 1897.

La localité compte aussi les hameaux de Caissie-Village, Choquepiche, Côte-Sainte-Anne, Petit-Choquepiche, Saint-Édouard-de-Kent, Saint-Pierre-de-Kent et Village-Sainte-Croix.

Caissie-Village est nommé ainsi en l'honneur de Pierre, Fidèle et Raphaël Caissie, qui furent parmi les premiers colons de la région. La localité porte le nom de Caissie avant 1947. L'origine du nom de Choquepiche, ou Chockpish, n'est pas connue. Il en est de même pour le toponyme de Côte-Sainte-Anne. L'origine des toponymes de Petit-Choquepiche, de Saint-Pierre-de-Kent et de Village-Sainte-Croix est aussi inconnue. Dans le cas de Saint-Édouard-de-Kent, nous savons au moins que la localité porta le nom de Saint-Castin avant 1892, puis St-Edward-de-Kent jusqu'en 1955.

Géologie
Le sous-sol de Sainte-Anne-de-Kent est composé principalement de roches sédimentaires du groupe de Pictou datant du Pennsylvanien (entre 300 et 311 millions d'années).

Villages et hameaux

Le centre du village est Sainte-Anne-de-Kent, situé au bord de la rivière Choquepiche, à l'ouest du territoire, au niveau des routes 11 et 134. En aval, sur la rive gauche (nord), se trouvent successivement les hameaux de Caissie-Village et de Petit-Choquepiche. Sur la rive droite se trouve Choquepiche. À l'embouchure de la rivière s'élève Côte-Sainte-Anne. Saint-Édouard-de-Kent est situé à 5,5 kilomètres à l'ouest de Sainte-Anne, au bord du détroit. Village-Sainte-Croix est situé deux kilomètres plus au sud et s'étend de la baie de Bouctouche vers l'intérieur des terres. C'est un hameau principalement agricole. À l'ouest de ce dernier s'élève Saint-Pierre-de-Kent, également un hameau agricole.

Histoire

Sainte-Anne-de-Kent est situé dans le territoire historique des Micmacs, plus précisément dans le district de Sigenigteoag, qui comprend l'actuel côte Est du Nouveau-Brunswick, jusqu'à la baie de Fundy.

Choquepiche est fondé vers 1820 par des Acadiens.

En 1825, le territoire est touché par les Grands feux de la Miramichi, qui dévastent entre  et  dans le centre et le nord-est de la province et tuent en tout plus de 280 personnes.

Le bureau de poste de Choquepiche ouvre ses portes en 1861. En 1866, le hameau compte environ 90 familles vivant d'agriculture, et 200 habitants sont recensées en 1871. Le bureau de poste de Sainte-Anne-de-Kent ouvre ses portes en 1879, la même année où est fermé celui de Choquepiche. Le bureau de poste de Saint-Édouard-de-Kent ouvre ses portes en 1880, suivi de celui de Saint-Pierre-de-Kent en 1882. En 1898, l'économie de Sainte-Anne-de-Kent est basée sur l'agriculture et l'exploitation forestière, alors que le hameau compte 1 magasin, 1 bureau de poste, 1 église et une population de 200 habitants. La même année, Saint-Édouard-de-Kent est un village agricole et de pêche comptant 2 magasins, plusieurs homarderies et une population de 150 habitants. Saint-Pierre-de-Kent comptait à ce moment 1 magasin et 250 habitants vivant de l'agriculture.

Le hameau de Côte-Sainte-Anne se développe à partir de Choquepiche. Le bureau de poste de Côte-Sainte-Anne ouvre ses portes en 1908. Les archives provinciales ne recensent aucune information sur l'histoire de Petit-Choquepiche, si ce n'est que son bureau de poste est inauguré en 1909. Il en est de même pour Village-Sainte-Croix, dont le bureau est inauguré en 1911. Celui de Caissie-Village l'est en 1928.

La Caisse populaire de Sainte-Anne-de-Kent est fondée en 1943.

Les bureaux de poste de Saint-Édouard-de-Kent, de Saint-Pierre-de-Kent et de Village-Sainte-Croix ferment leurs portes en 1955. Ceux de Caissie-Village, de Côte-Sainte-Anne et de Petit-Choquepiche ferment ferment en 1956. L'école Calixte-F.-Savoie est inaugurée en 1957.

L'hôpital Stella-Maris-de-Kent, qui avait été fondé en 1947 à Bouctouche, ferme ses portes en 1962. Il est reconstruit à Sainte-Anne-de-Kent en 1966 toujours géré par les Religieuses de Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Cœur mais avec une capacité de 45 lits. La capacité de l'hôpital est réduite de moitié en 1992.

La caisse fusionne avec celles de Bouctouche, Sainte-Marie-de-Kent et Saint-Paul-de-Kent en 2001 pour former la Caisse populaire Kent-Beauséjour. Celle-ci fusionne avec la Caisse populaire Kent-Sud en 2008.

Cables and gates
Wikileaks' latest document dump is over a quarter of a million U.S. diplomatic cables, some reaching all the way back to the 1970s. Needles to say, this has provoked some fierce debate and may actually have serious diplomatic consequences.
To be honest, I haven't found any of the revelations (so far) actually shocking. It's been clear for sometime that the U.S. is involved in low-level combat in Yemen. Trying to protect CIA operatives from arrest for wrongful kidnapping is sleazy and wrong, but bullshit like that's been going on since the Cold War. Yes, shockingly, aristocratic tyrants in the Middle East present one face to their people and another to their inner circle. Oh, and turns out U.S. diplomats severely over-estimated their ability to handle the 1979 Iranian revolution. Who knew?
Some of the cables are even reassuring. While wikileaks has successfully dubbed the release "cablegate," implying a whif of scandal, look at some of the initiatives uncovered: U.S. diplomats are trying to stem the flow of weapons to Hezbollah, empty Guantanamo, curb Afghani government corruption, convince Pakistan to scale back its nuclear arsenal and prevent Iran from going nuclear while simultaneously resisting Israeli and Arab leaders' calls for a calamitous war. How terrible.
Just judging from the reaction online and among those I know personally, many of whom are generally sympathetic to wikileaks, this particular volley has attracted probably the most ambivalent reaction yet. Wikileaks' previous dispatches had better justification: revealing attacks on journalists in warzones or exposing how an amok obsession with secrecy is used to obscure even basic details of military operations.
All the same, look at some of the more worthy diplomatic initiatives in the list above, especially those (like the negotiations with Pakistan), that are probably now DOA due to this document dump. For all that the government's botched over the years, I can't help but cringe a bit at endangering the work that's actually constructive. One can be an advocate of openness and still see the need for some information (say, sensitive diplomatic negotiations) to have some level of confidentiality, especially while a deal is still being negotiated.
I also can't help but getting the sense that the shotgun blast approach is less about a screaming need for this information to be public as much as it is a "fuck you" to the U.S. government. Wikileaks, like the nations recorded in these diplomatic cables, is out to protect its own turf and hit its enemies, perhaps more than it would like to admit. It's probably for the best that its next target will be banks, where the battle lines are a little more clear.
This is also where "cablegate" gets really interesting, in the Breaking Time sense. The content is nothing explosive by itself, but the implications certainly are. A major diplomatic bombshell was just caused by a loose, stateless network of hackers and informants. This is possible because the base of secret information grew so bloated, the technology so advanced and the culture so adversarily cynical that a freaking Army private had access to enough material for four serious breaches, along with whatever else Julian Assange has tucked away for insurance.
Secret diplomatic communiques between governments is a pillar of the current nation-state framework. A boring but big, really important pillar going back to the Treaty of F'ing Westphalia in 1648. It is as basic a plank as there is.
If groups like wikileaks can shake that, repeatedly, then something big just broke, and it won't just damage the ability of states to strongarm others behind closed doors. The treaties and accords that many idealists look to for peaceful international improvement will also suffer a major blow if those negotiations can be breached. Explosions aren't surgical, and it's very possible for the useful and good to take as much damage as the oppressive and wrong.
I've written here before (after the last wikileaks dump) about how transparency is an ammo dump, but it's worth noting that it works best when that ammunition serves an overall purpose: to insure consequences for those who breach some sort of established trust. What's the purpose here? Wikileaks has certainly mastered the art of disrupting the current set-up, but they, nor anyone else, seem to really know what the new rules are.
P.S.- On the bright side, revealing the cables is incidentally a big blow to a conspirational view of world politics. The aggregated stories offer a compelling counterpoint, showing how competing interests, failure, grudges, and personal quirks form the mish-mash that is the international power structure.

They certainly seem to be taking a PR hit from the more gossip-y aspects of this bath of releases. OTOH, there really are a few gems - the State Department's spying on the UN, for one.
Would it have violate their own ethos, though to remove things like Putin's bromance with Burlesconi?
It's not as universally important as the War logs, or as I hope, the upcoming banking drop, but the fact they did it speaks volumes in and of itself.

The general move towards digitalisation is being pushed by regulatory requirements, which means that accountants need to clearly identify their relationship with the client and develop a more relevant USP for attracting new clients in the future.
They will have to turn data into actionable, value-added advice. Historically, accountants have been responsible for compliance, accuracy of data, and technical and strategic advice. But technology is opening up opportunities for a new workstreams.
Some clients will embrace the idea of a digital relationship with their accountant; others will wish to maintain the status quo and continue to expect the same level of contact and personal service. However, the regulatory push means maintaining the status quo is not an option.
If we have good or better data – with HMRC running algorithms and interrogating quarterly delivered information – the accountant's role is to ensure that data supplied quarterly is in a format that will not raise queries from HMRC. For this, they need to be a trusted and close adviser. MTD will also impact on finance professionals' relationships with IT software providers, becoming increasing reliant and brand loyal.
In addition, IT software firms are increasingly offering end-to-end solutions to small businesses, including interfaces with banks and suppliers, and links to payroll systems, with seamless communication and updates to the client.
The advisory side is key if practices are to bring in new clients, differentiate themselves from the competition and achieve growth. They will need a diverse portfolio of advisory skills and services, which may include some not traditionally considered within the scope of an accountant – eg, advising on workflows, operational issues and cyber-protection.
In addition, knowledge of clients' industry and the aspirations, succession and strategic intent of management and shareholders will help accountants reconfigure their services to position themselves as a cohesive advisory hub. So how do you market these varied services?
Many practices are now actively discussing client targeting as part of business development. For example, in one case a practice has appointed three salaried partners, given them a room and support staff and told them to go off and develop the practice's fintech client base. They have been given 18 months.
The ambition is to rapidly build a fee income representing 15% of the total practice within three years. Focus is key.
Client relationships will therefore change dynamically at various levels of the organisation, and advisers will need flexibility, a high level of IT implementation skills and the ability to explain key benefits to clients.
If half of clients in the SME sector are walking around with dashboards on their phones or tablets, then accountants will have to become attuned to selling these services to achieve 'good data' and be adept at discussing outcomes to clients, perhaps on a daily or hourly basis.
There is within all this change a matrix that covers type of client, type of service, a multi-speed move to full digitalisation, pricing by service and advice, and a deepening of the advisory services offered. Size, age and flexibility of the client/decision-maker will be factors.
There are other overlays, too, and these will similarly provide opportunities and niches for the perceptive and receptive accountant.


A French priest named Moreau warns the monks of a monastery about an impending attack by the devil's forces to obtain a boy named Danny. The monastery falls under attack; Moreau tries to help the boy and his mother Nadya escape, but the distrusting mother shoots at Moreau and flees with her son. Moreau manages to distract the men chasing Danny and Nadya, but nearly dies in the process and loses them. He believes that only the Ghost Rider is capable of protecting the boy. He finds the Rider and seeks his help.

"Sons of Anarchy": What happens next, daddy?
Kurt Sutter's biker series practices the most basic form of storytelling with unusual skill
By Matt Zoller Seitz
Published November 23, 2011 12:18PM (EST)
Kurt Sutter (L) and Ray McKinnon on "Sons of Anarchy."
The following recap of "Sons of Anarchy" season four, episode 12 contains spoilers. Read at your own risk.
When Charles Dickens was at the peak of his popularity, Americans used to wait on East Coast docks for the latest chapters of his serialized novels to arrive. TV dramas are our version of that. The best have that mix of shamelessness and sophistication that Dickens refined into art -- or at the very least, artful melodrama -- and the FX biker drama "Sons of Anarchy" is right up there in the pantheon. Its cliffhanger episode endings are among the most addictive I've seen, and last night offered a great example: a three-way standoff between the increasingly evil gang boss Clay Morrow (Ron Perlman), his disaffected lieutenant Jax (Charlie Hunnam) and the vengeful Opie (Ryan Hurst), who discovered his dad's reeking body and was informed that Clay secretly killed him. Everything about the standoff was utterly shameless: the race-to-the-finish-line lead-up; Opie's tearful speech; Opie leveling his gun at Clay at the precise moment when Jax burst in and screamed at him to drop it; the shot of Clay's body slamming against a wall; Jax's horrified close-up. Cut to black, roll credits. Is he dead? Was he wearing a bulletproof vest?
I laughed out loud at this ending. It was primordially manipulative. It reminded me of watching old "Captain America" serials on local TV as a kid. (Me: "Mom, is Captain America going to get cut in half by the buzz saw?" Mom: "I guess you'll have to watch next week to find out, but for now I'll just remind you that the thing is called 'Captain America.') It also parallels nicely with the adventure tales I've been reading to my young son at bedtime -- the kinds of books that'll end chapters with sentences like, "He held his sword in front of him, moving slowly down the long, dark hallway until he pushed open the door and revealed the most horrifying image imaginable." My boy's reaction to these Big Reveal is always the same: "Daddy, what happens next? Can we read just one more chapter?"
"Sons" operates on that level. If you didn't already know that series creator Kurt Sutter learned his trade on FX's cliffhanger-driven, plot-crazy "The Shield," you might have figured it out eventually. The show already did a similar cliffhanger ending this season in the episode where Juice, besieged on all sides and deeply conflicted in his loyalties, wrapped a chain around his neck, climbed up in a tree and tried to lynch himself. The second his body dropped, the episode cut to black and rolled credits. If you had keen ears you probably caught the sound of the branch breaking, but if you didn't, you had a reaction similar to my childhood distress at seeing Captain America lashed to a giant log in a sawmill. Oh, my God, they killed Juice!
At the same time, though, the series subverts its wild melodrama and dense thriller plotting with flashes of moral ambiguity and self-awareness. You root for these people as if they were your best friends, until the show makes you take a step back and admit how depraved and sickening they are. The sheer goofy intensity of the internal warfare this season has been addictive and oddly moving -- especially the parts that dealt with the half-black Juice's distress at being pulled into finkdom by the town's new sheriff; Gemma (Katey Sagal) raging like a material warrior-queen at Clay's viciousness and stupidity while simultaneously feeding her narcissistic desire to be the center of the drama; and Tara (Maggie Siff) falling into black depression over the botched kidnapping that shattered her hand and ended her career as a surgeon. (The only silver lining for Tara is that the accident seems to have cured her simpering doormat tendencies: whether she's talking to Gemma, Jax or -- in this episode -- the glowering, super-scary Clay, she stares right into their faces with scorn instead of fear.) Season four of "Sons" is neck-and-neck with two in my season rankings, and it might claim the top slot depending on what happens next week. It's top-shelf pulp.
Where do we go from here? Although I wouldn't put an improbable last-minute save past Sutter and his writers, I suspect Clay's a goner, and that the season finale will find Jax forced to choose between leaving Charming with his wife and family versus pulling a Michael Corleone and assuming control of the suddenly rudderless SAMCRO. (Jax is unquestionably the best leadership candidate now that Mark Boone's Jr.'s Bobby Munson is in jail, courtesy of a vengeful sell-out by Kurt Sutter's incarcerated Otto.)
But whether "Sons" kills off Clay next week, waits until later, or lets him live, the show will have cemented its main theme: the gravitational pull of family, or more accurately, the abstract and unreal ideal of family, which is what all ragtag band of self-interested criminals really has.
Opie really shouldn't even have been around the Sons anymore after losing his wife to them, but the allure of belonging was so powerful that here he was years later doing the "Fool me twice, shame on you" thing opposite Clay, who's become one of the most loathsome bad daddy figures since Powers Booth's Cy Tolliver on "Deadwood." Gemma shouldn't have stayed with Clay all these years; even when they showed deep love for each other -- I loved Gemma's kiss-off of a kiss in this episode -- they were both still a couple of slimy criminals who were ultimately inclined to look out for number one, and Gemma usually seemed to get the worst of the arrangement. And yet here she is trying to be a good Lady Macbeth -- stirring every available pot for the good of the club, but really for the good of Gemma. Jax is theoretically tied to the club forever by his father's legacy, but he really means it when he says he wants out; unfortunately for him, on a show like "Sons," that can't happen. A leopard cannot change its spots, nor a biker his patches.
"Sons" isn't a deep show and really isn't striving to be one, but for a testosterone-poisoned potboiler, it's complex and surprising. It lulls you into adopting the self-flattering points-of-view of the Sons of Anarchy motorcycle club and its individual members, then suddenly drops in a scene in which an outsider injects a harsh dose of reality, forcing the characters (and you) to admit that most of these characters are scummy, selfish and often incredibly flaky people, and that if you weren't experiencing the low-grade version of Stockholm Syndrome that comes from committing to a weekly series, you wouldn't want to be near any of them. The scene in the baby mill -- thunderous punches competing with the mewling of panicked infants -- was a hilarious example of this: the Sons can't seem to go anywhere without getting into a brawl or shooting somebody. Clay's self-satisfied grin at being told that the brawl actually benefited the Irish Kings reminded me again of what a colossal screw-up he's been this year; he and the club have made one idiotic and self-destructive decision after another, yet somehow they keep getting saved from themselves, and they usually seem to think it's because of their innate bad-assness and fidelity to a code instead of recognizing it for what it is: sheer dumb luck.
A great example is the scene in last night's episode between Jax (Charlie Hunnam) and Wendy (Drea de Matteo), the ex-junkie mother of Jax's son Abel. She's cleaned up and wants custody again. She tells Jax, "You're a felon on release, and as frightening as this notion may be, I'm probably the most stable adult in Abel's life." Because we identify with the gang and consider everyone outside of it to be a menacing interloper, we sympathize with Jax's appalled, defensive reaction. But of course she's right. Their parting exchange could be read a couple of ways, neither of them flattering to Jax. Wendy: "I ain't goin' anywhere." Jax: "It's OK -- I am." Jax is an awfully literal guy, but I think that last line intentionally had at least two meanings: (1) I am going somewhere as a person, and you'll always be a junkie tramp, and (2) I am literally going somewhere, meaning out of town with my family, leaving the Sons and you behind. The nagging suspicion that he's wrong on both counts gives the graphic novel-goofy "Sons of Anarchy" a certain tragic weight. Jax, the poor bastard, is just like all the other Sons: he rides thousands upon thousands of miles, cheating death at every turn, but in the larger, personal sense, he never gets anywhere.

Perennial Italian champion Montepaschi Siena comes off an exciting season that ended with a historic accomplishment and enters a new season looking to extend its dominance and impressive streaks of six consecutive Top 16 appearances, seven Italian League and five Italian Cup titles. The 2012-13 season was another impressive one, in which the club won its fifth consecutive Italian double by beating Cimberio Varese in the cup final and downing Acea Roma 4-1 in the best-of-seven series for the league crown. With a 63-79 victory in Game 5 of the finals, Siena became the first team in the 64-year history of the Italian League to win the title seven years in a row. The results were not quite as strong in the Turkish Airlines Euroleague, where Montepaschi opened its Top 16 group with 5-0 record, but picked up only two more wins the rest of the way and missed the playoffs for only the second time in six seasons. This season the squad will be eager to taste the playoffs again and to battle for what would be Siena's fifth Final Four appearance. Siena's basketball roots run deep; Mens Sana Basket claims to be the first Italian club to play the sport soon after Dr. James Naismith invented basketball in 1891. Siena did not reach the Italian first division until 1973 and graduated to European competitions in the late 1990s. By 2002, Vrbica Stefanov, Milenko Topic and Petar Naumoski brought home the club's very first trophy, the Saporta Cup. The next season, Siena marked its Euroleague debut by going all the way to the Final Four led by Michalis Kakiouzis, Mirsad Turkcan and the late Alphonso Ford. Montepaschi returned to the Final Four in 2004 and fell again in the semifinals, this time in a overtime thriller against Fortitudo Bologna, but with new players like Bootsy Thornton, David Vanterpool and David Andersen, it went on to lift its first Italian League trophy that spring. Following the promotion of Simone Pianigiani to head coach in 2007, things only got better for Siena. Pianigiani led the club to six Italian League titles in a row plus four Italian Cups during his run with the team. Montepaschi also returned to the Final Four in 2008 in Madrid, where it lost in the semifinals to Maccabi Electra, despite the efforts of players like Terrell McIntyre, Romain Sato, Rimas Kaukenas, Ksistof Lavrinovic and Shaun Stonerook. The latter trio was joined by Nikos Zisis, Marko Jaric, Malik Hairston and McCalebb for an unlikely run to the 2011 Final Four. Siena responded to a record 48-point loss to Olympiacos in Game 1 of the playoffs with three consecutive victories to reach the Final Four, in which eventual champ Panathinaikos blocked its way to glory in the semifinals. In 2011-12 season, its sixth consecutive Italian title, a feat never before accomplished in Italian basketball at that time, also marked an end of an era, as Pianigiani stepped down and his assistant Luca Banchi was handed the reins. In Banchi's first season as the team's head coach, Bobby Brown claimed the Alphonso Ford Scoring Trophy as the team returned to the Top 16 and reigned supreme in Italy. This season, the goals remain as high as ever for the proud team form Tuscany.

CFPB is Considering Lightening the TRID Load
in Daily Dose, Government, Headlines, News April 28, 2016	1,098 Views
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Director Richard Cordray has written a letter to financial industry trades and their members recognizing the "operational challenges" the industry is experiencing as a result of the Bureau's TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID) rule implemented last October.
With that in mind, Cordray said in his letter that the Bureau is considering making some "adjustments" in the regulation text to provide greater certainty and clarity.
Since TRID, also called the "Know Before You Owe" rule, was implemented on October 3, and even for months prior, many in the mortgage industry have complained of the complexity of implementing the rule and the difficulty of complying, despite the rule's goal of making it easier on all parties involved to close a mortgage loan.
"We recognize that many of implementation of the Know Before You Owe rule poses many operational challenges," Cordray wrote. "We also recognize that implementation is particularly challenging because of the diversity of participants, from small to large financial institutions, mortgage brokers, real estate brokers, and title companies, through warehouse lenders, investors, due diligence firms, and ratings agencies, whose perspectives may vary as to what compliance under the rule requires."
Recognizing that many in the industry are struggling with implementing and complying with TRID, Cordray said the CFPB provides informal guidance on how to implement and comply with TRID which comes in the form of a Regulatory Implementation webpage. At the same time, he said the Bureau believes that "there are places in the regulation text and commentary where adjustments would be useful for greater certainty and clarity."
"We recognize that many of implementation of the Know Before You Owe rule poses many operational challenges."
Richard Cordray, CFPB Director
Therefore, Cordray wrote in the letter, the CFPB is currently in the process of drafting a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on the Know Before You Owe rule. Cordray said the CFPB hopes to issue the NPRM in late July, at which time the Bureau will accept public comments on it.
"We will continue to work with industry, consumers, and other stakeholders to support a smooth transition for the mortgage market," Cordray wrote. "As we do so, we and other regulators are all agreed that our oversight of the implementation of the Know Before You Owe mortgage disclosure rule in the months ahead will continue to be sensitive to the progress made by those entities that have squarely focused on making good faith efforts to come into compliance with the rule."
National Association of Federal Credit Unions (NAFCU) Director of Regulatory Compliance Brandy Bruyere applauded Cordray's response to industry concerns about TRID.
"We appreciate Director Cordray's consideration of our concerns regarding the need for greater clarity on the TRID rules," Bruyere said. "This is a welcome first step and there is still a lot of work to be done in order to truly address the ambiguities in the TRID rule. We look forward to the bureau's continuing efforts to facilitate the compliance process."

Umpire's Apparent Pep Talk to Nick Kyrgios Sparks Controversy at U.S. Open
Charlotte Carroll
Sports Illustrated August 30, 2018, 9:10 p.m. UTC
Umpire Mo Lahyani appeared to give a struggling Nick Kyrgios a pep talk at the U.S. Open on Thursday, sparking a controversy an infuriating fellow players at Flushing Meadows.
Cameras showed Lahyani coming out of his chair and approaching Kyrgios while the Australian was down 0-3 in the second set to Pierre-Hugues Herbert. Lahyani appeared to offer words of encouragement to Kyrgios, who ended up winning the match 4-6, 7-6 (8–6), 6-3, 6-0. He will face Roger Federer in the third round.
Umpires are not allowed to offer any sort of advice or encouragement to either player and are expected to stay perfectly neutral.
Kyrgios won the second set after a pep talk from the chair umpire Mo Lahyani.
A USTA rep told me it is already looking into Lahyani's conduct in this match.
Absurd scenes. #USOpen pic.twitter.com/6qTMaoqPQd
— Ben Rothenberg (@BenRothenberg) August 30, 2018
According to tennis reporter Ben Rothenberg, Lahyani told Kyrgios, "I want to help you, I want to help you," "I've seen your matches: you're great for tennis," and "I can see that; I know this is not you."
After the match, Kyrgios addressed the incident.
"He was just concerned about how I was playing - he was like: 'Nick are you OK?'" Kyrgios said.
"I was like: 'Yeah everything is fine.' I just wasn't feeling great."
Herbert seemed to view the interaction differently.
"You never know what woudl have happened if [Lahyani] didn't go down [from] the chair and start talking to him," he said.
"He doesn't need to go down. He doesn't need to say the words he said on the video. I think this was not his job. I don't think he's a coach, he's an umpire."
The USTA issued the following statement, which denies that Lahyani acted inappropriately:
"Lahyani was concerned that Kyrgios might need medical attention. Lahyani told Kyrgios that if he was feeling ill, that the tournament could provide medical help. He also informed Kyrgios that if his seeming lack of interest in the match continued, that as the chair umpire, he would need to take action. He again suggested to Kyrgios that he could receive medical attention."
Federer was among a number of fellow players who felt the umpire's actions were inappropriate.
"It's not the umpire's role to go down from the chair," he said after his match. "You don't go and speak like that.
"It was a conversation, and coversations can change mentality."
Professional Donna Vekic tweeted about the possible pep talk, and Kyrgios tweeted his thoughts back.
I shouldn't have tweeted so quickly after the match. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but I can assure you it wasn't coaching. https://t.co/hvlwPyzC0E

Kyrgios has been accused of tanking, and has been booed during listless efforts and accused of other behavioral problems in the past.

Analysis: Kelly Loeffler's disastrous Senate term
AdminJanuary 6, 2021 8 Views0
Yes, there have been shorter tenures. (Georgia Democratic Sen. Rebecca Latimer Felton served for only a single day!) And, yes, plenty of other appointed senators have lost when they ran for election in their own right. (Like Arizona's Martha McSally, who lost in November.) But few — if any — appointed senators have so tarnished their personal reputation as Loeffler did in the year she spent in the world's greatest deliberative body.
Consider Loeffler's reputation when Gov. Brian Kemp appointed her to the seat vacated by Sen. Johnny Isakson (R) in late 2019: A prominent (and wealthy) businesswoman and a moderate Republican who Kemp clearly hoped would bolster his own political standing in the critical Atlanta suburbs heading into his 2022 reelection race.
In her earliest days in the Senate, Loeffler tried to position herself as just that: A successful businesswoman bringing some much-needed outsider perspective to Washington. In an ad she ran soon after being appointed, Loeffler touted her mantra "hard work and results really matter."
That plan appeared to go out the window in the spring of 2020, when Loeffler (and her husband) found themselves in the middle of a massive controversy regarding a series of stock sales just before the coronavirus pandemic shut down the American economy.
As CNN wrote at the time:
"Loeffler and her husband sold 27 stocks between January 24 and February 14 at a value of $1.28 million and $3.1 million, according to Senate financial disclosure records. They also purchased three stocks for between $450,000 to $1 million, including shares in Citrix, a software company used for teleconferencing that's one of the few that's gained value amid the coronavirus outbreak. Citrix's stock was $122.03 on February 14, the day it was purchased, and closed at $125.31 on Thursday."
Amid questions of whether her position in the Senate gave her advance notice of the coming catastrophe, Loeffler told Fox News at the time that she was "not involved in the decisions around buying and selling" of her stocks. While she continued to insist that she had done nothing wrong, Loeffler announced in April that she and her husband were selling off all of their individual stocks.
That episode seemed to mark a clear turning point in how Loeffler positioned herself politically. As questions were raised about the stock trades, Loeffler turned to accusations of socialism, of all things, to defend herself. This comes from a Fox News interview in mid-April:
"This was a political attack designed to take away from the issue at hand. And to use this outbreak to play politics. We have addressed this and taken extraordinary measures to make sure that we can't be attacked for our success. This gets at the very heart of why I came to Washington, to defend free enterprise, to defend capitalism. This is a socialist attack."
It only went downhill from there, as Loeffler tacked hard to the Trump right seeking to fend off Rep. Doug Collins, who jumped into the special election race in early 2020. (Collins was President Donald Trump's preferred pick to replace Isakson but Kemp went with Loeffler for the political reasons I mentioned above.)
* Loeffler was quoted as saying there were "no" issues on which she and Trump disagreed. Asked whether that included Trump's misogynistic comments about women captured on an "Access Hollywood" tape, she said: "I'm not familiar with that." Ha!
* Loeffler ran a much-mocked TV ad in which she claimed to be "more conservative than Attila the Hun." (Yes, this really happened.)
* Loeffler, a co-owner of the WNBA's Atlanta Dream, loudly objected to the league's decision to honor the "Black Lives Matter" movement. "@WNBA should stand for and unite around the American Flag — not divisive political movements like BLM that unapologetically seek to defund the police," she tweeted. In response, the Dream team (ahem) sported "Vote Warnock" T-shirts before games in support of Loeffler's opponent (and the now senator-elect).
All in all, Loeffler not only ran a remarkably bad campaign, but she also seemed to abandon the entire reason she was chosen in the first place. A moderate Atlanta businesswoman ran like a Trump conservative — and lost.
Stuart Stevens, a longtime Republican political consultant and a never-Trumper, put it best and bluntly.
"As someone who in past years has had to listen to major donor Kelly Loeffler going off on how the Republican party was way too conservative, it's hard to express the depth of her nothingness," he tweeted. "She makes Martha McSally look like Margaret Thatcher."

When the MFR program establishes an EFAC, an EFAC coordinator oversees operations of the EFAC.
Note: The term Emergency Family Assistance Center (EFAC) refers to any centralized, in-person service delivery location and is intended to be inclusive of the EFACall Service-specific language used and service delivery locations.
Upon activation of the EFA plan, the MFR program:
activates its system for tracking customers;
assesses the collective needs of customers to ensure appropriate and sufficient supports and services are made available; and
periodically re-assesses and makes arrangements for additional resources as needed.
Interpretation: Examples of factors to consider during the needs assessment include the type, magnitude and intensity of the incident; spread of onset; duration; the number of people affected; available resources; and the supports being provided by other organizations or institutions.
Interpretation: The frequency of re-assessments will vary given the type of incident and its duration. Examples of additional resources include staff, equipment, or supplies including food, water, and shelter.
Research Note: The needs of those affected by disaster will change over time. It is important that response efforts reflect changes in need so resources can be directed appropriately.
A volunteer manager is responsible for effective, streamlined volunteer coordination including:
checking-in, screening, and tracking volunteers;
volunteer training;
matching volunteers with identified needs;
volunteer monitoring and oversight, including the identification of unmet needs; and
recognition efforts that are timely and inclusive.
Interpretation: Regarding element (e), the definition of timely recognition efforts may include periodic recognition for ongoing service or one-time recognition following service for short-term volunteer work.
NA The EFA plan does not include the use of volunteers as part of the EFA response.
Roles and responsibilities of individuals supporting the EFA response are clearly defined and communicated.
The MFR program establishes shift rotations to ensure:
needed coverage, including 24/7 coverage when necessary; and
appropriate time off or breaks for staff, including volunteers, to avoid burnout.
Documentation is protected from unauthorized use, accurate, and formalized to capture:
results of needs assessments and services provided including referrals made;

So when does it start? PG usually begins in someone's teens or early 20's, with males having symptoms at an earlier age than females. However, PG develops more quickly in females after they begin to gamble.
Most interesting is that the type of gambling that women and men get addicted to is different. Women tend to have problem behavior with "non-strategic" forms of gambling, for example slot machines and bingo. Men, however, play more "strategic" games in PG, such as sports and card gambling.

The paint that triggered graffiti
Deborah García Bello
In the picture, the urban artist Aiser.
Massive commercialisation of the first painting sprays coincided in time with the emergence of contemporary graffiti. In 1970, Cornbread had covered Philadelphia with his name. At the same time, Taki 183 was doing the same in New York. Thanks to the metro, his signature could soon be found throughout Manhattan. The New York Times published an article about Taki 183 that elevated him to icon category. He was imitated by hundreds of young people around the world. Graffiti would later become the phenomenon we know today.
In addition to the artistic and vandalistic drive that led those young people to paint on their urban environment, the recent aerosol technology, the science of acrylic painting, and the mural painters who preceded them were decisive.
The development of acrylic painting at the beginning of the twentieth century, initially conceived for practical uses and with a marked industrial character, entered the world of art. In the 1920s, a group of Mexican painters, especially Orozco, Siqueiros, and Rivera, wanted to paint large murals for public buildings. They needed a paint that would remain stable outdoors and dry quickly. This was impossible using familiar techniques such as oil painting or fresco. What they needed had existed for a few years, but until then it had never been used as a vehicle for pigments: acrylic polymers.
«Recent aerosol technology, the science of acrylic painting, and the mural painters who preceded them were decisive for the emergence of contemporary graffiti»
Acrylic polymers consist of acrylic acid units. What we colloquially call acrylic paint is an emulsion of acrylic polymers and water in which the pigments, the substances responsible for colour, are contained. Oil painting takes days to dry, it is a slow drying process that happens by oxidation. Conversely, acrylic paint dries in minutes. What happens is that the water it contains evaporates and once this happens, no other physical or chemical change takes place. This means that the artist can repaint and apply as many coats of paint as desired on the same day.
The next great outdoors-painting invention did not take long to arrive. In 1929, the Norwegian chemical engineer Erik Rotheim invented the aerosol. At first, aerosols were used as insecticides. It wasn't until the 1950s that aerosol manufacturers came up with the idea of spray painting, mainly to paint household appliances simply and professionally.
Paint sprays consist of two phases: acrylic paint and propellant. Acrylic paint contains solvents that guarantee immediate drying and fluidity. The propellant is usually a hydrocarbon that is under pressure in a liquid state inside the aerosol. This is why it is necessary to shake the spray before painting. When we do this, we hear a ball hitting the walls of the container so that the two phases mix. Once we press the nozzle, a mixture of paint and propellant comes out. The propellant evaporates instantly and the paint is fixed on the surface.
The spray brands that were first used in graffiti were mainly Krylon and Felton. Colours and finishes were very limited. In the 1990s, in view of the growing demand, the leading Spanish company in graffiti products was founded: Montana Colors.
Graffiti has not stopped evolving. Their history can be explored from the prism of science and technology. However, the history of graffiti is first and foremost art history.

The 1965–66 Football League season was Birmingham City Football Club's 63rd in the Football League and their 25th in the Second Division, to which they were relegated in 1964–65. Having persuaded former Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Stan Cullis out of retirement as successor to Joe Mallett, who remained with the club as Cullis's assistant, they finished in tenth position in the 22-team division. They entered the 1965–66 FA Cup in the third round proper and lost to Leicester City in the fourth, and were beaten in their opening second-round match in the League Cup by Mansfield Town.

Twenty-two players made at least one appearance in nationally organised first-team competition, and there were thirteen different goalscorers. Forward Alec Jackson played in all but two of the team's 45 matches, and Geoff Vowden finished as leading scorer with 23 goals, of which 21 came in league competition.

This season saw the introduction of substitutes into the Football League. In the third game of the season, away to Preston North End on 26 August, Brian Sharples replaced the injured Ron Wylie to become Birmingham's first Football League substitute.

Note: WallE closed without fanfare in February 2012. It never caught on, and my 1½-star rating was probably a half-star too high.
I have fond memories of Chin Chin, the upscale Chinese restaurant in East Midtown where we held the rehearsal dinner before my wedding. The marriage didn't work out. The meal was fabulous.
Last year, Wally Chin, who co-owns Chin Chin with his brother Jimmy, announced he'd be opening a modern Chinese place nearby. It was delayed almost a year while he dealt with health problems, before opening in March.
He calls it WallE (wall–EE), a play on Mr. Chin's first name. Or, to give the full name, WallE Restaurant & Lounge. The website plays up the "lounge" aspect of it, which might not be a wise choice. There's a casual front room with a TV behind the bar that's tuned to ESPN, and a more formal dining room where we were initially seated. There was a loud private party, so we asked to move up front, where not many tables were taken.
The chef, Chris Cheung, has worked at a bunch of Chinese/Asian restaurants, and even Graydon Carter's Monkey Bar. His menu here is Chinese with American inflections: thus, there's a burger sandwiched between scallion pancakes, and buns with foie gras.
You will eat like a king, for not very much money. "Small plates" (heaven forbid they call them appetizers) are $7–16, "large plates" (entrées) $16–29, rice dishes $12–19, side dishes $4–9. It's not cheap the way Chinatown is cheap, but it's not bad at all for a good midtown address.
Portions are huge, starting with a superb bread selection (above left) that, for me, could be dinner most nights all by itself. Likewise a Pu Pu Platter ($10 per person; above right) with an assortment of lobster rolls, dumplings, and rock shrimp.
The aforementioned burger ($16; above left), made from Pat LaFreida dry aged beef, has a compelling, smoky flavor. You can't tell from the photo, but it's enormous: I ate just half. Shoestring fries that came with it (above center) were pretty good.
A hefty portion of tender Baby Back Ribs ($23; below left) came with a huge side of macaroni & cheese (above right) that we barely touched.
It is a pity that we had almost no room for a rice dish we shouldn't have ordered, Shanghai Belly ($12; above right) with three luscious hunks of pork belly and a fried egg. The small taste I had of it was wonderful.
The minimal wine list is adequate, though certainly not a draw on its own. The cocktail menu features the likes of a Mai Tai and drinks that end in "–tini" without the "mar–" prefix. Service was good, but the server ought to have advised us that we had ordered far too much food.
I don't deduct points for décor I dislike, but I found the space sterile and charmless. The restaurant seats 120, but it has a "big box" feel that might have been fashionable about ten years ago. It is as if Mr. Chin were regurgitating decorating ideas that were cool for 15 minutes in 2002, and that he were utterly oblivious to anything that has happened since.
WallE may ultimately succumb to an identity crisis. The owner wans to appeal to the "lounge" crowd, but the space is far too passé for that to work. The chef hopes to serve modern, "interesting" food (and largely succeeds), but the people who'd be attracted to it might find the lounge vibe off-putting.
