Antigua acquires Industrial freezers to store COVID-19 vaccines upon arrival in Antigua
Cabinet Notes: The Minister of Health provided the Cabinet with an update on the novel Coronavirus vaccine which is closer to being mass-distributed in several developed countries, including the U.K., the USA, Russia, China and the European Union.
Antigua and Barbuda through the COVACS arrangement has already paid for 20,000 vials of vaccine, although it has not yet been decided which of the vaccines is likely to be purchased by the Pan American Health Organization for distribution to its members.
Nevertheless, several industrial freezers have been acquired and are being readied to store the vaccines upon their arrival in Antigua. Again it was repeated that a priority list of voluntary recipients is being tweaked to include First Responders, fragile and elderly residents, hospital staff, and those most at risk of contraction. Parliamentarians are also included.
The number of active cases of patients being treated for the novel Coronavirus remains at 7 even though there are two newly confirmed cases; three patients received a second negative within a one-week period and are therefore regarded as cured.
Everyone is encouraged to be vigilant, to wear masks, to engage in social distancing, and to sanitize hands and door knobs/rails and frequently touched objects as often as possible. There has been no community spread of the virus, and the USA's CDC has rated Antigua and Barbuda as "moderate risk" given the nation's success at managing this global crisis.

Government at work.
Saying December 5, 2020 at 5:52 pm
Just saying, what do you want to bet that in a few weeks we are told these freezers don't work. Was The government quick to say they acquired them because someone got a payoff? Note Jamaica isn't wasting money on freezers but instead sourcing vaccines that don't need refrigeration. You are right this is our incompetent government at work.
mRNA vaccine December 3, 2020 at 9:16 am
So they are acquiring the mRNA vaccine – the first of its kind.
Why not buy one of the Cuba vaccines?
Or one of the others 40 vaccines in the pipeline that are not a brand new type where we of course don't know long term adverse events will be.
Reply to mRNA vaccine December 4, 2020 at 1:25 pm
Did you know that the Moderna mRNA vaccine will alter your DNA?
After you take it you will be on the way to becoming a trans-human. (a modified human)
This vaccine targets Chromosome 8. About 8% of its genes are involved in brain development and function. IMO this is being done to make people less intelligent and more compliant to control. Unfortunately, they won't have the mental capacity to realize this. They'll think they are still normal. But to the people who don't take the vaccine, they'll see them as they really are… zombies.

The Globalist are now rolling out their antidote, to this #Plan? #Pan? #Epi? DEMIC which they had all along. However, to fit their agendas, their henchmen(the Media) had to make sure, that the FEAR which like the virus(weaponized weapon of war) is real was driven home like the hangman's noose for a convicted murder.
The Media will now change the narrative from FEAR to ABATEMENT, pump that into the Public like the vaccines, and PUFF, VOILA, the virus is now under control and HUE-mans can now resume their normal ways of living(murders, enslavement, embezzlement, fraud, mayhem, racism, classism), as the Age of Nirvana has arrived.
These Globalist are getting richer and richer and richer, as their henchmen make sure that their agendas are followed in every minute detail.
Oh by the way, to those who now fear this weapon of war – covid-19, the authorities in America are now admitting, that this virus has being in circulation since 2019.
If anyone recalls, they informed the Public that the FLU SHOT for the 2019 flu season would not be effective in combating the upcoming flu for the 2020, the year of COVID-19. How the phuck did they know this?
Don't get me wrong folks this virus is real! It's a killer just like any other weapon of war.
Not So Common December 3, 2020 at 11:33 am
What an idiotic conspiracy theory. You really think that some "globalists" released the virus just so they can sell the vaccine to make money? You need to go sit next to Trump in the Dunce corner. Editor, do better than to allow these moronic conspiracy theories from being published please. Give me a break.
Ras Smood December 3, 2020 at 2:07 pm
@Not So Common…Robert Reich former US Secrotary of Labour in the Bill Clinton's Administration, the one and same which turned the American economy around in the 1990's, wrote a best seller detailing how what he calls the Oligarchs/Mediums from the Vanderbilts, Rockefellers, Bushes, and the likes operate to control World Markets.
This is information which comes directly from those in the know, unlike the Media(henchmen) of the Oligarchs, plutocrats and Globalist that slant their narratives to indoctrinate folks like you.
Please enjoy your cocktails of vaccines! Foods and herbs have being mine for over six decades!
Ras Smood December 4, 2020 at 8:05 am
@Not So Common and the Editors at ANR – You can sensor but you cannot hide from the truth when it smacks you in the face.
@Not So Common…call this a conspiracy as well. There are several DISEASES(hunger, malnutrition, wars, slavery) which these Oligarchs/Globalist have the #CURE for, yet millions of HUEMANS die with their knowledge each and every year, due to money and the common respect towards HUEMANS.
Do you see the mainstream media pushing these narratives on a daily and hourly basis? No, and the reason is very simple; it's not in their best interest.
So why do you think losing a couple million people and having countless others suffer with long term side effects from this COVID-19 war, bothers them?
It's only fools, asinine thinkers, ostriches, puppets would see it otherwise. You're more than welcomed to take a pick of one of these names and pin it to your ass like a #JackAss!
The conspiracy here is you thinking that this is a conspiracy THEORY December 4, 2020 at 1:07 pm
The conspiracy here is you thinking that this is a conspiracy THEORY.
Do you actually believe that Bill Gates isn't doing this for the money? The global elites like him have another goal which is a total reset of the global economy. Unfortunately for them, this is going to fail.
Trump IS GOING TO WIN THE RE-ELECTION and when he does, the USA is going to destroy their GREAT RESET PLAN.
I'm sure the editors here KNOW that free speech is a constitutionally protected right of the people and furthermore, if they were to censure our speech, people would stop coming to their site!

WHAT TEMP CAN THIS INDUSTRIAL FREEZER ACHIEVE………………
Observation December 3, 2020 at 9:43 pm
Why would the government get vaccines that are required to be kept at minus seventy degrees? We don't even have reliable electricity. Why not wait for the one out of Britain that doesn't need refrigeration. We should be sceptical of any vaccine that will alter our RNA and developed by a Biotech company. What will be the long term effect of having a foreign entity in our bodies?
Someone said that after 40 years of research there is no vaccine for HIV and after 100 years there is no vaccine for cancer. Ongoing research, and no vaccine for the common cold which by the way has kills more people annually than covid. But in less than a year we have a vaccine for covid with the help of a biotech firm. Go figure.
Ask Questions December 4, 2020 at 1:00 am
Where did the government find the money to acquire these industrial freezers when they don't have money to pay pensioners? These are most likely gifts from the same people pushing the vaccines on certain people. After all you can't have the vaccines without freezers.
Antigua Citizen December 4, 2020 at 2:17 am
When the power goes off thanks to APUA then what?
No pension money so where govt get money to get all them vaccines?

Principal Corey Crochet: The Lifelong Learner
by Vivi Hyacinthe | Jul 18, 2019 | K-12 Administrators, Star School Leader | 0 comments
Principal Corey Crochet
The Lifelong Learner, Star School Leader Recipient
Principal Corey Crochet's passion for learning has followed him from school yards to construction sites and back again. This is the seventh spotlight in a series of twelve, in which we feature the winning recipients of Kiddom's annual Star School Leader Award. Look for the others over the coming months by signing up for our newsletter, or check out our School Leadership page, which we will update with each new spotlight.
Great leaders are remembered for how they depart from the norm. But the most effective leaders often have experiences that allow them to blend in with their dependents and peers. Such is the case at Labadieville Middle School in Assumption Parish, Louisiana, where Principal Corey Crochet has presided over the last seven years.
Built in 1939, Labadieville Middle School is a relic of the Roosevelt administration. But unlike other historical artifacts, the public schools of this nation aren't always nurtured with the same amount of care. Assumption Parish, where Labadieville is located, is very close to the district line, making it hard to retain students and teachers. "We compete with higher wages and higher salaries all around us," Principal Crochet says. "My assistant principal and I both started as teachers in 2004, and we were the only two out of a group of nine to return the following year."
The students affected by this teacher turnover are 48% Black, 48% White, and 4% Hispanic. In state evaluations, Labadieville oscillates between a C and D School Improvement score, which summarizes how well the school is preparing its students for the next level of study. "The vision is to eventually get to a B status and stay there. Last year, we were 8/10ths of a point away from a C (a score of 60)."
"Mr. Crochet's attitude of removing all obstacles that get in the way of learning is evident across the campus. He tackles problems and is not afraid to go back to the drawing board when something is not working."
--Cathy Martinez, teacher at Labadieville Middle School
From a certain vantage point, the school's chances look promising. Labadieville Middle earned a B on the Progress Score during the 2017-2018 school year. Two feeder schools provide a continuous flow of investment from neighboring communities. And many Labadieville students readily demonstrate their preparedness by earning high school credits before they move on.
But an "overall score" doesn't tell the full story of what goes on behind Labadieville's doors. And the same can be said of the school's sitting principal.
The Building Blocks of an Educator
For Corey Crochet, the path toward education took a few detours. In his words, "my attitude in high school was a bit unbecoming of an educator." He failed the 10th grade as a student, leading to a stint in construction.
But it was there that he discovered his knack for instruction. "My first teaching job was teaching pipefitting to a group of guys that were all older than me, but didn't have the knowledge of the trade that I did."
"Mr. Crochet is constantly learning and because of this, he inspires his teachers to do the same ...Whether it is working to improve classroom instruction, or creating a culture of learning, Mr. Crochet models his love of learning every day."
This passion led him back to school, where he is finishing up his Doctor of Education. When Corey finally returned in the classroom as a teacher, it was kismet. He taught social studies at Labadieville for seven years before following the administrative track to his hometown. Inspiringly, he served there as an assistant principal not too far from the school out of which he once flunked. After one year as an AP, Crochet applied for the principal opening at LMS, and began his post in 2012.
Although most of his years in education have been at the same school, Principal Crochet recognizes that every unique learning community has valuable lessons to impart. During his early years as a principal, Crochet had the opportunity to visit other schools across the nation, including Dr. Steve Perry's Capital Prep in Hartford, CT and White Pines Middle School in Ely, NV. From these environments, Principal Crochet gained inspiration for how to persistently pursue goals with students.
"I really enjoy having conversations with students and helping them solve problems that are getting in the way of their learning. Being in a position to help students and teachers makes it a very, very rewarding job."
-- Principal Corey Crochet, Labadieville Middle School
What Principal Crochet most enjoys about being a principal is witnessing a student's growth during their four years at LMS. His personal motto, emblazoned on the school website is, "Every student. Every day. Whatever it takes." And that is exactly the approach Corey takes in steering LMS to new heights.
A Beaming Foundation
In addition to visiting schools in other states, Crochet stays connected with mentors in his own community. Every Wednesday morning, he has coffee with his former principal, who retired while Crochet was in the fourth grade.
When progress runs stale at Labadieville, getting perspective from principals who have been there helps Corey stay positive and focused.
"One thing [my mentor] tells me is that sometimes you have to imagine progress is being made just to keep moving forward."
The students, of course, are another source of inspiration for Principal Crochet. "There are a few scenarios where they go above and beyond and do things that really stand out." One of the proudest moments of his time at Labadieville came last year, during the final game of the Hornets' football season. The other team had a player with spina bifida, and they put him in to play quarterback. Without prompting, the LMS Hornets surrounded the kid to congratulate him after his play.
When students exhibit their potential in thoughtful ways such as these, it makes being a principal well worth the effort. The teacher who nominated Principal Crochet for this award wrote to us about Corey's winter hours:
"Mr. Crochet worked very hard to improve the School Improvement Score. He worked through the Christmas holidays, and was at school when it was closed due to extreme cold weather, all to change our students' enhancement classes and curriculum. While the students did show growth, we missed the score we needed by just a few points. Not to be discouraged, Mr. Crochet congratulated the students and teachers on their efforts, and back to the drawing board he went."
The most compelling way for adults to reach students is to demonstrate that they have also been students (and still are). Principal Crochet is a regular presence in the classrooms at his school, as he strives to make LMS more student-centric. "Being in those classrooms is a huge part of knowing what's going on in your school."
While technology facilitates ongoing communication between teachers and school leadership, nothing can compare to real time in the classroom. Principal Crochet believes that ed tech can be assistive, but never a substitute for human interaction. "But it does have its place," he declares. "When it comes to technology, we're preparing students for jobs that don't exist yet."
Through a certain lens, the principal's task can be daunting. But from the perspective of a student in Corey's very first class — pipefitting on a construction site — it's not hard to imagine the talent in front of you thriving in another, unknowable context.
Recap: What Makes a Star School Leader?
Great school leaders empower their teachers. What teachers do is one of the most difficult, and often thankless jobs. And while we all agree that teachers are the true heroes of every school system, it takes a special kind of leader to enable their teachers with the right support to focus on the important things. Like teaching.
The Star School Leader rubric stands on three pillars, hanging from one common theme:
Empowering others by setting a positive attitude, culture, and environment.
Empowering others with the right use of technology as a means and not an end.
Empowering others through supportive coaching and access to professional development.

NEW YORK and MADISON, WIS – Ovid Therapeutics, a privately held biopharmaceutical company committed to developing medicines that transform the lives of people with rare neurological disorders, and NeuroPointDX, a privately held biotech company based in Madison, Wisconsin and Cambridge, Massachusetts, today announced that they have entered into a collaboration to identify novel biomarkers of Angelman syndrome by analyzing metabolomic profile data as part of Ovid's ongoing randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial (STARS).
Angelman syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that is characterized by a variety of signs and symptoms, including delayed development, intellectual disability, severe speech impairment, problems with movement and balance, seizures, sleep disorders and anxiety. Like many other neurological disorders, symptoms and response to treatments vary widely from person to person.
"We are excited to partner with Ovid Therapeutics on this biomarker collaboration, particularly as it furthers our mission to improve the lives of people impacted by neurological disorders by identifying biomarkers that can improve diagnosis and inform more precise treatment strategies," said Elizabeth Donley, chief executive officer of NeuroPointDX.
NeuroPointDX uses its metabolomics platform technology to identify differences in children with autism spectrum disorders compared to typically-developing children and between subgroups of children on the spectrum for earlier diagnosis and more precise treatment. The collaboration will leverage NeuroPointDX's expertise in metabolomics in an effort to identify biomarkers associated with Angelman syndrome. Metabolomics is a process that allows comprehensive exploration of changes in small molecules present in the metabolism of patients to provide insight into the physiology of a disease and the response to treatment. In the STARS trial, this analysis is designed to provide molecular insights into disease mechanism and assess the potential response to OV101 to help understand the physiological impact of the compound in people with Angelman syndrome. This study may help identify the individuals that are most likely to respond to treatment.
Angelman syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that is characterized by a variety of signs and symptoms. Characteristic features of this disorder include delayed development, intellectual disability, severe speech impairment, problems with movement and balance, seizures, sleep disorders and anxiety. The most common cause of Angelman syndrome is the disruption of a gene that codes for ubiquitin protein ligase E3A (UBE3A). Angelman syndrome affects approximately 1 in 12,000 to 20,000 people in the United States. There are currently no FDA-approved therapies for the treatment of Angelman syndrome.
OV101 (gaboxadol) is a delta (δ)-selective GABAA receptor agonist and is believed to be the first investigational drug to target the disruption of tonic inhibition, a key mechanism that allows a healthy human brain to decipher excitatory and inhibitory neurological signals correctly without being overloaded. Loss of tonic inhibition is implicated in a host of rare neurological disorders and is established in genetic models. In preclinical models, OV101 has been able to selectively activate the δ-subunit of GABAA receptors, which are found in the extrasynaptic space (outside of the synapse), and help regulate neuronal activity through tonic inhibition.
In September 2016, the United States Food and Drug Administration granted orphan drug designation for OV101 for the treatment of Angelman syndrome. The United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted Ovid two patents directed to methods of treating Angelman syndrome using THIP (OV101). The issued patents expire in 2035, without regulatory extensions.
Ovid Therapeutics is a privately held, New York-based, biopharmaceutical company using its BoldMedicineTM approach to develop therapies that transform the lives of patients with rare neurological disorders. Ovid's drug candidate, OV101, is currently in development for the treatment of symptoms of Angelman syndrome and Fragile X syndrome. Ovid is also developing OV935 in collaboration with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited for the treatment of rare epileptic encephalopathies. Ovid has initiated the Phase 2 STARS trial of OV101 in adults with Angelman syndrome and Ovid intends to commence a Phase 1 trial in adolescents with Angelman syndrome or Fragile X syndrome. OV935 is expected to commence a Phase 1b/2a trial in rare epileptic encephalopathies in 2017.

NeuroPoinDX is the diagnostics division of Stemina Biomarker Discovery. Stemina is a biotechnology company based in Madison, WI and Cambridge, MA that has developed a robust and reproducible proprietary platform for identifying changes in metabolism ("biomarkers") utilizing highly sensitive analytical equipment and its proprietary platform technology. The Company's diagnostics division, NeuroPointDX, identifies biomarkers of neurological disorders in cellular models of disease and human samples. These biomarkers provide greater insight into the pathways that are disrupted in patients with neurological disorders. This information can be translated into clinical diagnostics, individualized treatment recommendations, and new potential therapies.
The first area in which the Company is conducting clinical studies is in patients with autism and other neuro-developmental disorders. In September 2015, Stemina launched its 1,500 patient study the Children's Autism Metabolome Project (CAMP). The study is funded by a $2.7 million grant from the National Institutes of Mental Health and an investment by the Nancy Lurie Marks Family Foundation. The CAMP study is the most comprehensive study of the metabolism of children with autism, and other neuro-developmental disorders ever conducted. This study may result in a panel of validated blood tests for autism that will more accurately diagnose and inform individualized treatment decisions based on the child's own metabolism.

The USAF MA-1 Flight Jacket is a classic USAF nylon flight jacket. The most iconic flight jacket issued by the USAF, next to the A-2.

Recap of the feud between Brock Lesnar and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins is shown.
Michael Cole greets us from Atlanta, Georgia, then Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman enter. Paul E. talks about Lesnar being the challenger for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship this Sunday, at Battleground, against Seth Rollins. He recaps "The Beast Incarnate's" previous times he was a challenger to a title; this included his first WWE Championship match against The Rock at SummerSlam 2002, in the U.F.C. facing Randy Couture, and at last year's SummerSam versus John Cena for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship too.
Lesnar wants to bring the WWE World Heavyweight Champion to Suplex City on Raw, but Kane interrupts and announces they will instead engage in a contract signing for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match at Battleground. Kane warns Lesnar and Heyman not to mess around, but Paul E. mocks Kane about being The Undertaker's "baby brother" (which the crowd starts chanting) and advises Rollins to not "poke the bear" with Lesnar or he will find himself in Suplex City.
Dean Ambrose will take on Bray Wyatt later tonight, and up next, Ryback and Randy Orton team up to go after Sheamus and The Big Show!
(Note: The announcers make it known that Orton and Sheamus will square off at Battleground as well, and The Miz is also on commentary.) Ryback and Sheamus start off with a lockup, then Ryback backdrops Sheamus, and slingshot-splashes from the top rope to the floor on him!
Orton and Sheamus are now slugging away, with "The Viper" getting the better and whipping Sheamus hard into the corner. Randy continues to punch and kick away, but Sheamus carries him off with an inverted atomic drop. Orton hits back with a clothesline and stomps on Sheamus' gut, then tags in the I.C. Champ. Sheamus gets control with knees, but it is quickly turned around when Ryback mudhole stomps him in the corner.
The Big Show is switched in and repeatedly stomps/bounces his foot off Ryback's back. He slaps Ryback hard in the corner against the chest, then tags in Sheamus. Ryback picks up Sheamus and tags in Orton, who hits again at Sheamus. He backdrops him against the barricade, but is kneed in the gut as he ran off the ropes. Sheamus knees Orton again in the head and clotheslines him to the canvas.
Sheamus has Orton clamped in a rear chinlock, then drives him down with the Irish Curse Backbreaker. He switches again with Show, who walks over Randy and then sits on him twice. Big signals for the Chokeslam, but Orton hops out of it and plants him with a DDT! Both are down as Orton reaches for the hot-tag. He makes it to Ryback who cleans house on Sheamus. He Lou Thesz Presses and splashes "Mr. Money In The Bank," then, as he goes for the Meathook Clothesline, is distracted by The Miz. Show gets involved and knocks out Ryback, then chases Miz to the back. Sheamus looks to take advantage, but Orton R.K.O.'s him instead, and Ryback rockets off the top turnbuckle with a splash and covers for the hard-earned victory!
WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and Director Of Operations Kane are discussing what to do about Brock Lesnar later tonight but no real conclusion is reached.
Dean Ambrose makes his entrance for his bout against Bray Wyatt, next!
This contest doesn't even start properly, as Roman Reigns runs out behind Wyatt during his entrance and begins a brawl. Reigns totally dominates the attack, both outside and inside of the ring. He Superman Punches Reigns, but is hit hard in the head with Bray's lantern.
Team Bella strut to the ring with Divas Champion Nikki talking about her accomplishments as the Division's Champ since November 23rd, 2014. She states that herself, her sister Brie, and Alicia Fox "have the power" because of the Divas Championship.
Nikki is interrupted by Stephanie McMahon. She objects to Nikki's report about controlling the Divas Division, as it is not just all about her or Alicia or Brie. Stephanie talks about the "revolution" that is going on with women in sports worldwide, from Soccer to UFC. She asks Paige, who has tried to start it in WWE, to join them. Paige obliges, as does two other women that Stephanie brings out. They are NXT Women Wrestlers Becky Lynch and Charlotte (daughter of Ric Flair).
Naomi and Tamina also interrupt and complains that they are not getting what they deserve. Stephanie agrees, but also introduces NXT Women's Champion Sasha Banks into the fray. All women are now in the ring and challenges them to go with what she's given them. They all have a stare-down, then brawl. The NXT Women end by locking Team Bella in their respective submissions (Figure 8 for Charlotte, Armbar by Becky, and Crossface-type with Sasha.) Paige holds up Becky and Charlotte's arms as Sasha holds up Naomi and Tamina's.
Before this bout, The New Day cut a promo on what went wrong with Atlanta this year, but how the city also "stayed positive." They assert that "Prime Time is out of time" and will become the Tag-Team Champions again.
They begin fast with quick-tags by both teams until Henry and Prime Time Players empty the ring for a break.
Titus and Xavier are now going at it, with Titus getting corned by New Day. Kofi dropkicks O'Neil, then kicks him two times after running off the ropes. Big E. splashes Titus running off the ropes too, but only gets two! Woods is in and locks up O'Neil with a Cobra Clutch, which Titus gets out of and slaps Henry with the tag. It breaks down from here between the two teams, and Henry finishes it with a World's Strongest Slam on Xavier!
The same recap of Rollins/Lesnar's rivalry from Raw's opening is shown again.
An elbow-collar tie-up starts, and Truth shows Barrett up quickly. He almost gets this one with a victory-roll running off the ropes, but is booted hard in the face. Barrett dominates now with a sidewalk slam, and dives off the second rope with an elbow. He wears down R with a grounding chinlock, but Truth hits his way out. He headscissors Wade out of the corner and drives him to the mat with The Lie Detector (Jumping Flatliner) for the 1 – 2 – 3!
Post-match, Truth collects his "King What's Up" gear from under the ring and antagonizes Barrett more.
After recalling the Dolph Ziggler/Rusev/Lana/Summer Rae feud, United States Champion John Cena will be having another U.S. Open Challenge, next!
Match #5: Single for the United States Championship – John Cena (Champion) VS. ???
The person to answer is …. Rusev! He walks out with Summer Rae and talks about how he is "the greatest United States Champion ever" and blames Lana for not being the champion anymore. Kevin Owens now walks out and wants to take on Cena. Of course, Rusev takes umbrage (thank you, Y2J – shout out to his book, Best In The World At What I have Know Idea, for that word/idea; if you haven't read yet, READ IT!), as does Cesaro who walks out. The three challengers fight to a break.
It is now a Triple-Threat match to determine the challenger for John Cena's U.S. Title tonight on Raw!
(Note: Cena is also on commentary.) Cesaro suplexes Rusev, then Owens runs at Rusev in the corner, then Cesaro uppercuts Owens. "The Bulgarian Brute" also Cannonballs Owens in the corner but is uppercutted too by Cesaro. Owens climbs the turnbuckle and attempts a Senton Bomb, but Cesaro gets his knees up! Rusev picks up and gives Cesaro a spinning-backdrop for a two-count. Cesaro gains control over both Owens and Rusev, but Owens grapples him from behind in an Electric Chair Drop position. Cesaro wiggles out of it, and Rusev dives from the top turnbuckle, knocking both Kevin and Cesaro to the canvas!
Owens and Rusev strike each other back-and-forth, then Kevin attempts a German Suplex; Cesaro runs up and clutches Owens and double-German Suplexes both men! He then follows up with a running-twisting plancha-splash to the outside on both as well! Back in the ring, Cesaro wants to swing Rusev, but Owens kicks him down. He springboard-splashes Cesaro from the middle turnbuckle, but is kicked out of the ring by Rusev. "The Bulgarian Brute" tries to lock on The Accolade, but Owens breaks it up.
Kevin grabs Rusev's head, but Rusev reverses into the Alabama Slam! He stomps on Owens' back and holds him in The Accolade submission (Camel Clutch) Cesaro kicks Rusev, then holds him up for a stalling-suplex! All three are laying on the mat, seemingly exhausted.
Cesaro and Owens get to their feet first, and Owens punches both Rusev and Cesaro repeatedly. He yells at both "he's mine," referring to Cena. This infuriates Rusev and Cesaro who double-team Owens. Owens ends up leaving the ring to the back, leaving the opportunity for only Rusev and Cesaro.
Rusev and Cesaro are still wrestling, with Rusev trying to make Cesaro tap to a grounding chinlock. Cesaro works his way out and soars off the top rope with a tornado back-elbow! He hits Rusev in the corner with recurring uppercuts, but is countered and suplexed from the ring to the floor! Rusev rolls Cesaro in the ring, then points at Cena. He ascends the top turnbuckle, but is stopped by a leaping uppercut by Cesaro. He is knocked with a dropkick, but tosses Cesaro face-first to the canvas; Rusev follows with a diving headbutt but misses! Cesaro capitalizes with a Crossface submission, but Rusev reverses into a slam! 1 – 2 – Cesaro kicks out! Rusev goes for another Accolade, but Cesaro reverses into a Sharpshooter try. Rusev kicks him off and somersault-splashes him! He tries another Accolade, but Cesaro turns over and grabs Rusev's legs to swing him around a few times! He turns this into the Sharpshooter! Rusev struggles, but manages to grab the ropes and pull himself to the floor for the break. Cesaro follows with a suicide dive, then runs Rusev into the corner barricade and hits another uppercut. Back in the ring, Rusev abruptly kicks Cesaro in the chest and suddenly takes this extremely hard-fought contest!
Cena and Rusev circle each other, then Cena takes Rusev down with a side headlock. He scoop-slams him for a one-count, then suplexes him for two! Cena clamps on a bearhug, and then puts him to the canvas again. He runs at Rusev in the corner twice, then runs off the ropes with a couple of flying shoulder-blocks. Cena backdrops Rusev and hits the Five-Knuckle-Shuffle Fistdrop. Cena measures a very-worn-down Rusev and picks him up for an Attitude Adjustment, but Rusev drops out into an Accolade! Cena sells the surprise, but stands up and runs Rusev into the corner. Rusev is still to strong and falls back on Cena in The Accolade position! Kevin Owens runs back in and kicks Rusev in the head, causing a DQ.
Kane and Seth Rollins are chatting, with Rollins ordering Kane that their plan must work.
WWE Hall-Of-Famer Lita is out and introduces the Tough Enough contestants.
Neville tries to shake hands with Stardust, but Cody refuses and clotheslines Neville instead. He dominates Neville for most of the bout, until Neville kicks him from the apron. "The New Sensation" leaps over Rhodes , but is driven to the mat with a Side Effect Slam! Stardust runs and kicks Neville in the face, then works him over with a grounding rear chinlock. Neville slides under Stardust and kicks him a few times, then forearm-smashes him in the corner. He sunset-flips him out of the corner for a near-fall, and rolls him up from behind, but Stardust reverses and holds on to Neville's tights for the victory!
Following the break, the contract signing will take place!
Rollins puts his signatures on the paper first, then passes over to Brock, who also writes on it. Heyman notices Rollins reach under the table and calls him out, so Lesnar flips the table and pulls out a stick. He puts it back on the now-flipped-back table and sits down again. Seth quickly yanks the stick away, but then is hammered with the table! Lesnar shoulders Kane, and German suplexes Seth! Lesnar and Kane go the outside, and Lesnar catches Rollins as he tried to slingshot-plancha him! Kane boots Lesnar and then he and Seth begin the assault. Rollins holds Brock and pushes him into to Kane, who batters him with the steel steps. Rollins tries to Pedigree his challenger on the other steel steps, but Lesnar carries him into the barricade. He is almost chokeslammed by Kane, but reverses into an F-5. He runs after Rollins, who escapes through the fans.
Lesnar goes back to Kane, and drops the first set of steps onto Kane's right ankle against the other steel steps. Lesnar holds the WWE World Heavyweight Championship high in the ring, then walks to the back with Heyman as replays of his destruction of Kane's ankle are shown. Live again, Rollins walks back to the ring and tosses the contract signing furniture around. He takes the microphone and puts Brock on notice that he "will be forever known as 'the man who slayed "The Beast."'" As Kane is being checked on by the arena personnel, Rollins berates him for the failed idea. He tells him "it's on you" then stomps on Kane's ankle again and walks way with the WWE World Heavyweight Title to close the show.
Excellence: Promos by Heyman, Stephanie, The New Day, Stardust, and Rollins; all had a degree of passion (especially Heyman and McMahon's) and all put over their opponents/the rivalries very well. Even Stardust/Neville has me invested, and I'm glad this looks to continue.
While the contract signing was the typical fight at the end, I loved how both Lesnar and Rollins had the advantage at times and left no clear-cut winner for Sunday; it really helps boost Rollins' credibility, as most would not consider him a decent opponent for Lesnar all because of his size. However, tonight's actions and the ones three weeks ago, proved he belongs in the main-event and hang there.
Bogus: The segment with the Divas and NXT Women itself was done really well overall, but I wish they had waited until after Battleground. I think they should've gone with Paige/Naomi/Tamina VS. Team Bella at that PPV, with Tamina/Naomi turning on Paige after a loss; then have Paige miss next week while Team Bella defeats Naomi/Tamina again and assert they've defeated all the Divas in the division. Paige would return the following one (July 27th) with the NXT Women, either with or without Stephanie introducing – could work both ways there – and do this segment then, but without Sasha turning on NXT Women too. This would've been a little more proper for the build to SummerSlam..
Battleground Picks: Reigns/Wyatt No Contest and continues to SummerSlam, in a Gimmick Match; New Day reclaim the Tag-Team Titles and have one more match at SummerSlam with P.T.P. and a stipulation added; Ryback retains his I.C. Title; Sheamus to defeat Orton, continuing his push; Cesaro interferes and causes a No-Decision between Owens/Cena and this leads to the triple threat at SummerSlam for the U.S. Title, and then the final match between Owens and Cena at Night Of Champions; Rollins squeaks out and keeps his WWE World Heavyweight Championship, proving he can do it.
Until next week, where the landscape could change again, Be Excellent Wrestling-Online Readers and Wrestling Fans!

Report: Warriors trade Andre Iguodala to Memphis Grizzlies
The Golden State Warriors' franchise has been in flux since early Sunday evening, with Kevin Durant choosing to join the Brooklyn Nets in free agency.
Now, the Warriors are reconstructing their roster in the aftermath of Durant's departure.
The Warriors reportedly traded Andre Iguodala to the Memphis Grizzlies, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Golden State will also send Memphis its 2024 protected first-round pick and two other future draft picks.
Golden State is trading Andre Iguodala to the Memphis Grizzlies, league source tells ESPN. Warriors are sending a 2024 protected first-round pick in the 2024 (protected 1-4), 2025 (protected 1) and 2026 unprotected.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 1, 2019
The move to trade Iguodala comes after the Warriors reportedly did a sign-and-trade with the Nets to bring D'Angelo Russell to Golden State, per Wojnarowski. With the sign-and-trade, the Warriors will sign Russell to a 4-year, $117 million deal.
Golden State and Brooklyn have agreed on a sign-and-trade, sending D'Angelo Russell to the Warriors on a four-year, $117M maximum contract, league sources tell ESPN.
Since Russell came in on a max contract, the Warriors had to shed some of their salary. Iguodala was on the Warriors' books for the 2019-20 season for about $17.1 million. He was set to be an unrestricted free agent next summer.
Iguodala was a key piece for the Warriors during their title runs. He won Finals MVP during the 2015 NBA Finals, and his ability to defend some of the league's best players such as LeBron James was significant for the Warriors. Iguodala was arguably Golden State's best defender after Draymond Green.
With the Warriors picking up Russell, though, they add an emerging young star. Russell played in his first All-Star game this past season, and he averaged a career-high 21.1 points per game on 43.4% shooting, along with averaging a career-high 7.0 assists a game.

When I was writing BRAND sense one of the most startling facts that I learned was that after sight, smell is our most important connection to our emotions. Obviously creating emotional connections to brands inspire what can be a lifelong loyalty — the marketer's dream scenario. All this is by way of saying, never underestimate the power of smell! Crayola used it to gain an advantage in a very unlikely place. There are millions out there who drew their first picture with these colorful crayons. And long since we've forgotten our favorite color in the box, one quick whiff of the waxy crayons will open a direct pathway to a memory from childhood.
Anyway, when Crayola decided to take their product to the mammoth market of China, they were concerned about keeping one step ahead of local manufacturers renowned for their exceptional copying skills. The one thing that was hard to copy is the smell. So Crayola patented the distinctly Crayola smell and made it part of their trademark.
In BRAND sense I'm arguing that integrating our five senses into building brands will be the next big thing. I'm curious to hear what you think of this.

Jackson County OKs funding for trail bonds
By Jeff Foxjeff.fox@examiner.net
Jackson County officials and others say the purchase of unused railroad tracks -- a process that has taken years -- will help transform the way the metro area's public transit system develops. The immediate plan is for a bike trail, but officials hope someday to run commuter rail service through the same corridor.
"I am a very, very strong advocate of that project – that development – and it can't happen fast enough for me," Steve Klika, chairman of the Kansas City Area Transit Authority and vice chairman of the Johnson County Board of Commissioners, told Jackson County legislators Monday.
The County Legislature on Monday approved $52 million in bonds to buy 17.7 miles of tracks from the Union Pacific Railroad. The old Rock Island tracks, unused for 35 years, run from near Arrowhead and Kauffman stadiums southeast through Raytown to the Longview area of Lee's Summit.
The bonds, at an average interest rate of 3.75 percent, are to paid off over 30 years at $2.875 million annually – half by the county and half by the ATA.
"Having that partnership with KC ATA is huge," said County Executive Frank White Jr.
Officials hope to issue the bonds by the end of the month and have talked about a big public kickoff event in early May. Officials have not said when bicyclists and hikers could be enjoying the trail but have said in the past that it could take a couple years. The county has $10 million in federal money in hand to cover all or most of the construction.
"It's great to see this day happening," said Brent Hugh, executive director of the Missouri Bicycle and Pedestrian Foundation.
He said connecting the Katy Trail to Kansas City has been the group's top priority for years. That trail, which runs east-west across most of the state, is being pushed north from Windsor to Pleasant Hill, and the new Jackson County trail would come out within a few miles of that Pleasant Hill trailhead.
There's more: The popular Little Blue Trace Trail runs up the Little Blue River valley from Blue Mills Road to Lee's Summit Road just south of Independence, and it's being extended farther south. Some day, officials say, that trail would run to the Interstate 470/View High Drive area in Lee's Summit – where Rock Island tracks also pass. So rider on either county trail would be able to roll on and pick up the Katy, which runs to the St. Louis area.
Hugh said that's important for Missouri tourism.
"The longer the trail, the farther people will travel to visit it," he said.
Bike advocates also say, based on trails elsewhere in the country, the new trail on the old Rock Island tracks will attract hundreds of millions of dollars within half a mile of that corridor.
"We are excited for the health, mobility and economic benefits that this project will bring," said Eric Rogers, founder and executive director of BikeWalkKC.
Still, officials for years have had their eye on commuter rail service, and they underlined Monday that's still the ultimate goal. Mike Sanders, county executive at the time, rolled out a commuter rail plan in 2009 that included the Rock Island tracks as one of six spokes run out from Kansas City.
"This seven-year journey to try to enhance transit options in Jackson County has led us here today," Calvin Williford, chief of staff to the county executive, told county legislators Monday.
At one point, the Rock Island corridor and one running through Independence, Blue Springs and Grain Valley were to have been the first two lines, and they would have connected with the Kansas City streetcar – which opens next month – to get people to and from the area's highest concentration of jobs, downtown Kansas City.
Sanders and his team had to shift plans and strategies a few times, and just getting the deal with the Union Pacific took years. Still, Tom Gerund, director of the Kansas City Streetcar Authority, said the county's purchase of the Rock Island corridors presents "one of the best opportunities for regional connectivity."
The ATA is becoming a larger player in that, too, and in the economic development that transit is expected to bring. It has brought Independence and Johnson County into its operations network. It's hired people such as Robbie Makinen, who was Sanders' director of economic development, as president and CEO, and it recently hired away Blue Springs Economic Development Corp. President and CEO Brien Starner.
Williford has stayed on as White's chief of staff, and on Monday his old boss, Sanders, praised him for pressing on with a wider vision for transit for several years. Sanders generally tried to deflect attention from himself but did say – as he did constantly in the years he was county executive and promoting the plan – that the county was making a generational investment.
Legislator Dennis Waits, D-Independence, said many people deserve credit for things having come this far, but he also singled out Sanders.
"He worked on this," Waits said. "He brought people together. He led the way."

Gamzigrad (cyr. Гамзиград) – stanowisko archeologiczne niedaleko Zaječaru we wschodniej Serbii z zespołem budowli późnorzymskich – Felix Romuliana – wzniesionych na przełomie III i IV wieku przez cesarza Galeriusza (250–311), obejmującym ufortyfikowany pałac cesarski, świątynie, łaźnie, tetrapylon oraz mauzolea cesarza i jego matki.

W 2007 roku obiekt został wpisany na listę światowego dziedzictwa kulturowego UNESCO.

Historia
System władzy w cesarstwie rzymskim wprowadzany stopniowo przez cesarza Dioklecjana od 286 roku – tetrarchia – polegał na równoczesnym panowaniu czterech władców: dwóch wyższej rangi augustów i dwóch niższej rangi cezarów, przy czym augustowie mieli sprawować władzę przez 20 lat i abdykować na rzecz swych cezarów. Na okres po abdykacji cesarz miał wybudować sobie rezydencję w miejscu urodzenia.

Cesarz rzymski Galeriusz (250–311) zlecił budowę kompleksu jako swojej rezydencji po abdykacji z tronu cesarskiego, która miała nastąpić w 313 roku. Był to jedyny zespół tego typu wzniesiony na potrzeby władców w okresie tetrarchii. Kompleks powstał na przełomie III i IV wieku, a przy jego budowie pracowali legioniści, którymi Galeriusz dowodził podczas wyprawy na Bliski Wschód, kiedy w 297 roku pokonał Persów.

Kompleks został nazwany Felix Romuliana na cześć matki cesarza – Romuli. W 1986 roku na archiwolcie w południowo-zachodniej części zespołu odkryto napis FELIX ROMULIANA otoczony przez wieniec laurowy trzymany przez dwa pawie.

W drugiej połowie IV wieku kompleks popadł w ruinę, a po inwazji Gotów i Hunów powstała tu niewielka bizantyńska osada, która jest wzmiankowana jako Romuliana na liście osad odbudowanych przez cesarza Justyniana w VI wieku. W XI wieku znajdowała się tu osada słowiańska, nazwana przez Słowian Gamzigradem. Z czasem osada została opuszczona i zapomniana na prawie tysiąc lat – została odkryta dopiero w XIX wieku.

Prace archeologiczne prowadzone są systematycznie od 1953 roku. W 2007 roku obiekt został wpisany na listę światowego dziedzictwa kulturowego UNESCO.

Architektura
Kompleks podzielony jest na dwie części – północną, gdzie znajdowała się rezydencja cesarza wraz z małą świątynią oraz południową z wielką świątynią, termami i mauzoleum. Pałac cesarski i wszystkie budynki w części północnej zorientowane są w stronę wzgórza w części południowej, gdzie wzniesiono mauzolea cesarza i jego matki. Części rozdziela droga, łącząca wschodnią i zachodnią bramę wjazdową. Na jej skrzyżowaniu z inną drogą, wiodącą na wzgórze, postawiono masywny tetrapylon. Kompleks otaczał podwójny system fortyfikacji, dwa pasy murów obronnych – starszy, wewnętrzny oraz wybudowany później w technice opus mixtum mur zewnętrzny.

Pałac cesarski
Wejście do pałacu znajdowało się po stronie wschodniej. Podłogę hali wejściowej pokrywała mozaika z przedstawieniem labiryntu w części środkowej, której fragmenty zachowały się do dziś. Z hali prowadził korytarz do wielkiej sali zamkniętej od południa apsydą. Była to najprawdopodobniej sala tronowa. Do niej przylegało oktagonalne apoditerium z ogrzewaniem podłogowym, którego podłogę również pokrywała mozaika m.in. z przedstawieniami venatio. Z sali dwa wyjścia prowadziły do atrium z fontanną. Po północnej stronie atrium znajdowała się sala biesiadna – triclinium z ozdobną mozaiką podłogową z przedstawieniami zwierząt i ludzi; przy wejściu umieszczono scenę walki Dionizosa z leopardem. Środek sali był podwyższony i pokryty płytami z różnokolorowego marmuru ułożonymi w technice opus sectile.

Mauzolea
Mauzoleum Romuli wzniesiono w 305 roku. Do dziś zachowały się jedynie fragmenty podium oraz pozostałości krypty grobowej. Po stronie południowo-zachodniej mauzoleum wzniesiono okrągły tumulus, a dalej na południe – tumulus Galeriusza.

Mauzoleum cesarza zostało wzniesione w 311 roku. Fundament zbudowano w formie pierścienia o średnicy zewnętrznej 5,65 m i wewnętrznej 2,28 m. W środku znajdowało się podium wraz z kryptą, w której spoczywał kamienny sarkofag.

I could relate what I was seeing with what I felt. John and Prova, my grandparents. Growing up, I found much love and care from them. They were young and strong. As time went by, it shaped everything in its own way. Bodies took different forms and relations went distant. Grandma's hair turned gray, the walls started peeling off and the objects were all that remained. Everything was contained into one single room. They always love the fact that I take pictures of them because then I spend more time with them, and they don't feel lonely anymore. After Prova passed away, I try to visit more so John can talk. He tells me stories of their early life, and how they met. There are so many stories. Here, life is silent, suspended. Everything is on a wait; A wait for something that I don't completely understand.

Introduction: Situating Dynamics of Mediatization
Olivier Driessens
Stig Hjarvard
Part of the Transforming Communications – Studies in Cross-Media Research book series (TCSCMR)
In the introduction to this volume, we set out why it is important to focus on dynamics of mediatization and how this contributes to the study of media-related social change. We stress that to fully understand dynamics of change, mediatization should be studied in interrelation with other meta-processes, such as commercialization or politicization. Furthermore, also the contexts of change need to be taken seriously, in terms of field(s) of analysis, space and geography, as well as in terms of time, thereby avoiding so-called epochalist thinking.

Admitted to bar, 1882, and practiced at Morristown. Elected to 54th and 55th Congresses (1895-1899). Member New Jersey Senate, 1899-1901 (president 1901). Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of New Jersey, 1901-1908. Chancellor of New Jersey, term 1908-1915, resigned, March 1912. Appointed Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, March 13, 1912, to succeed John M. Harlan, deceased. Resigned, December 31, 1922.
Mahlon R. Pitney was an American jurist and Republican Party politician from New Jersey, who served in the United States Congress and as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court.
Mahlon Pitney was born on February 5,1858, on a farm near Morristown, New Jersey, the second son of Henry Cooper Pitney and Sarah Louisa Halsted Pitney. His father practiced law and encouraged his son to pursue the same vocation. The two would eventually serve together briefly in the New Jersey state judicial system.
After an early education in private schools, Mahlon entered the College of New Jersey (eventually to become Princeton University) in 1875, where he was a classmate of future president VVoodrow Wilson. There, in addition to his studies, he proved to be a talented debater and also managed the college's baseball team. He graduated in 1879 and promptly turned to the study of law in his father's office, learning it, he later wrote, mostly by absorption from his father, who was "a walking encyclopedia of the law." Once he passed the bar in 1882, however, he escaped his father's shadow and set up practice in Dover, New Jersey. There he also found time to serve as director of an iron company and to help manage a department store.
Admitted to bar, 1882, and practiced at Morristown. Elected to 54th and 55th Congresses (1895-1899). Member New Jersey Senate, 1899-1901 (president 1901).
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of New Jersey, 1901-1908. Chancellor of New Jersey, term 1908-1915, resigned, March 1912. Appointed Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, March 13, 1912, to succeed John M. Harlan, deceased.
The next, and final, professional advancement Mahlon Pitney achieved came as a surprise to him, and began with the death of Associate Justice John Marshall Harlan on October 14, 1911. The choice of Harlan's successor fell to President William Howard Taft. At first, Judge William C. Hook of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit seemed likely to obtain the appointment to fill the vacancy, but controversy quickly surrounded Hook's candidacy and Taft ultimately abandoned it. In mid-February 1912, however, the president met Pitney at a dinner in Newark and was so impressed by their conversation together that he announced his nomination of Pitney for a seat on the Supreme Court a week later, on February 19. This, the last of Taft s ap pointments to the Court, did not receive a warm welcome in the Senate. As New Jersey chancellor, Pitney had written an antiunion opinion in Jones Glass Co. v. Glass Bottle Blowers Association (1908), and the views he revealed in that case promptly stirred Democrats and Progressive Re-publicans to oppose his nomination. One critic pronounced Pitney "irrevocably pledged to property rigilts as against human rights" and declared that he was "the consistent enemy of the working man." Taft, though, insisted in support of his nominee that Pitney was "of a great lawyer stock," and Pitney himself denied that he was "the enemy of labor." In the end, the Senate confirmed Pitney's nomination to die Court on March 13,1912, by a vote of 50-26.
As it turned out, Pitney's opponents had measured the man at least partially correctly. Over the decade that he served on the Court, he regularly, if not invariably, demonstrated himself to be the legal foe of organized labor. In 1915 he wrote the Court's opinion in what would be his most famous case, Coppajje v. Kansas (1915), involving the constitutionality of a state law prohibiting the use of so-called yellow-dog contracts, by which employees accepted employment on the condition that they not join a union. Pitney declared for the U.S. Supreme Court that tire attempt to prohibit yellow-dog contracts was unconstitutional because it violated the freedom of contract protected by the Fourteenth Amendment's due process clause. Pitney's opinion in this and other cases amply supported the prognostication at the time of his nomination that he would be antiunion, but the corollary accusation that he would prove to be the enemy of the workingman finds less support in Pitney's judicial career. In feet, he regularly championed the legality of state workers' compensation laws in cases such as New York Central Railroad Co. v. White (1917). The great liberal justice Louis Brandeis announced that but for Pitney we would have had no workmen's compensation laws." In truth, Pitney seems to have distrusted economic combinations whether on the corporate or the labor side. He was, for example, happy to apply the antitrust provisions of the Sherman Antitrust Act to both.
Member New Jersey Senate, 1899-1901 (president 1901).
In 1891, he married Florence T. Shelton, with whom he would have three children: Guy Shelton; Mahlon, Jr.; and Beatrice Louis.
