Boycotting the Indians sounds silly, but their fans may have reason after owner Paul Dolan bleakly commented on Francisco Lindor's future in Cleveland.
Professional sports franchises, like governments, rely on a social contract to function. Fans sacrifice individual rights to invest emotionally and financially in local teams. For the freedom to enjoy less emotionally taxing pastimes, fans spend their income on the franchise instead of other pastimes. In exchange, the team's managements tries to create entertainment, usually based around winning games.
The beauty of the social contract, as outlined by Jean-Jacques Rousseau in his 1762 treatise of the same name, is that governments must rule with the consent of the governed. Baseball teams aren't selling foundational necessities–if every fan stopped coming to games or all the players stopped working, the owners' billion-dollar industry would collapse.
Considering the Indians have baseball's top rotation and one of the best cores of young position players in baseball, a fan boycott seems absurd. But Dolan's recent comments, refusal to bid in free agency and shopping of star pitchers have garnered plenty of criticism this offseason. It's not like this team was flawless in 2018. They sleepwalked their way to the AL Central title in a dreadful division and were swept in the ALDS by the Astros (by a combined score of 21-6, no less).
With veteran outfielder Michael Brantley gone to the Astros and late-inning relievers Andrew Miller and Cody Allen joining the Cardinals and Angels, respectively, the outfield and bullpen needed to be addressed. The Indians responded by acquiring outfielders Jake Bauers and Jordan Luplow, who have a combined 584 plate appearances between them, and signing 37-year-old Oliver Perez. Their biggest offseason move was re-acquiring 32-year-old Carlos Santana, who endured arguably the the worst year of his career in 2018 with the Phillies.
Some of the moves might work, but they're hardly major additions for a pennant contender that hasn't won the World Series in 70 years. To not spend with a team this stacked with talent and a massive drought must be infuriating—especially when the Dolan family has an estimated net worth of $5.5 billion. It'd be hard to boycott a playoff-bound team, but Dolan (uncle of Knicks owner James Dolan) deserves it, especially if things somehow go south in 2019.
The Nuttings basically treat owning the Pirates, a storied franchise in a baseball-crazed city with plenty of loyal fans, as an exercise in ironic comedy. They refuse to spend anything and have wasted years of good talent by not spending anything. Remember the 2013 core of 26-year-old NL MVP Andrew McCutchen, 27-year-old local native Neil Walker, 22-year-old Starling Marte and 22-year-old Gerrit Cole? Pittsburgh had the 20th-highest payroll in baseball that season. From 2014-2017, the team never reached higher than 23rd and even shrunk payroll after the '13 team logged the franchise's first winning season and playoff win since 1992. Before the 2018 season, the team the team traded a franchise legend in McCutchen and budding star in Cole. They acquired Chris Archer last year, but have done nothing to add to the team since. They're a primary offender of the "consent of the governed" concept. Multiple petitions to force the Nuttings to sell have been circulated this decade, and there will probably be another one at the start of 2019. Fan protests are already underway: attendance in Pittsburgh has declined and petitions have been floated.
Peter Angelos is one of the worst owners in professional sports. Through a combination of cheapness, mismanagement and poor luck, Angelos' mismanagement and stinginess has run five decent cores into the ground during his time (his most successful move appears to be screwing over the Nationals in the MASN contract). The Orioles lost 115 games last season, so the cycle begins anew. Most casual fans turned off last year, and the 115-loss season and subsequent rebuild should give even the most diehard Orioles fan a reason to go to sleep early on most nights. There will be a boycott by default for the Orioles; organized fan action is nice, but unnecessary.
While the Marlins escape the bottom spot after finally ditching Jeffrey Loria, this ownership group has done little to inspire hope. They were allowed to buy the team despite being very clear their first move was to dismantle the team's good on-field assets. While this Derek Jeter-fronted group should get some credit for not being Jeffrey Loria, it's clear that this is not a new dawn for long-suffering Marlins fans. A boycott would be a good idea, but this franchise is too downtrodden for it to matter.
The Mariners are in the midst of yet another rebuild. The past 18 years have been brutal for Mariners fans, and the directionless approach of the Stanton family has not helped. Whether the blame should go on Jerry Dipoto's frenetic trades and changing vision, bad luck or ownership, in the end the buck stops with the owner. The Stantons have not made any significant big-name investments since buying the team in 2016 and have instead permitted multiple selloffs. With morale in Seattle at an all-time low, a potential fan boycott wouldn't be a bad idea.

EBRD and EU help Kazakhstan improve its water
EBRD and EU boost Kazakhstan's sustainable supply of water
By Volker Ahlemeyer
EBRD and EU improve quality of life for almost 4 million Kazakhs
The Aral Sea is disappearing. Fishing communities have moved and stranded ships now dot the wide Central Asian steppe like a mirage.
What used to be the world's fourth largest lake is now reduced to 10 per cent of its former size. It has become a symbol of environmental damage, caused by inefficient water use and irrigation techniques during Soviet times.
Together with the European Union, the EBRD is working to improve and renovate the water supply systems in cities across Kazakhstan.
Only few water resources remain in southern Kazakhstan, among them the Syr Darya river. Much of the infrastructure is derelict though, which is partly due to inadequate maintenance, partly to the country's harsh climate ranging from -50°C in the winter to +50°C in the summer.
It's all the more important then that water is used efficiently.
The EBRD and EU are working with the Kazakh authorities to ensure people have adequate access to water and improve other municipal services across the country. The first city to participate in the new programme is the regional capital Kyzylorda, a few hundred kilometres east of the Aral Sea.
Bagdat Saginbayeva lives with her husband, brother and four children in a small two-bedroom flat, which she bought two years ago. It is a busy household and there is always something to do: cooking, cleaning, preparing baby food – all activities which require water.
"We live on the fifth floor and have a water pressure problem," she said. "The water does not reach our floor properly, so we have to use a pump. Our water pump is electric. It's insufficient as we are paying separately for water and electricity."
At the same time, she realises that she is lucky when compared to other people in her block of flats.
"Our neighbour from the third floor does not have a water pump, so she comes to get the water from me."
A lot of investment is urgently needed for the country's water infrastructure: new pipes, pumps, water purifiers and other energy efficient equipment. The EBRD provides loans, while the EU and the Kazakh authorities complement them with grants to prepare and support the Bank's activities.
Kyzylorda's water is sourced from the Syr Darya river, explained Nurzhan Dikhambayev, Acting Director at Kyzylorda's water company. His goal is to modernise the water supply and wastewater collection systems. Using energy efficient technology in the company will help to achieve this, he said.
"Other regions of Kazakhstan face the same problems. Our project will be a good example for other Kazakh cities in the water, wastewater and district heating sectors," he added.
"Together with the EU, we are reaching out to Kazakhstan's regions to modernise municipal services over the next few years," said Bakhtiyor Faiziev, Principal Banker in the EBRD's Almaty office.
Doing so is a challenge in a country, which is the ninth largest in the world but also one of the most sparsely populated, he pointed out. This is the reason why the two partners involve the local authorities in an active dialogue to ensure long-term improvements.
The initiative has already borne fruit. More and more Kazakh cities want to take part in the programme: eleven major ones so far and the number is still growing.
It will help them provide their citizens not only with a better water supply but also a cleaner wastewater system and less energy waste when heating their homes.
In total, the programme is expected to directly benefit some 3.8 million citizens across the country, improving their quality of life and helping Kazakh cities on their path to a sustainable future.

Indigenous news outlets, nonprofits drive deeper coverage

PHOENIX —
Kiowa tribal member Tristan Ahtone remembers just getting started in journalism over a decade ago and pitching ideas on Indigenous topics. His bosses would say things like: "We ran a Native story earlier this year. Do we need another one?"
Thankfully, he said, times have changed.
"Nowadays there's not enough content to fill demand, which is fantastic," said Ahtone, a former longtime Native American Journalists Association board member and current editor at large at nonprofit media outlet Grist.
Native American communities have seen more robust news coverage in recent years, in part because of an increase in Indigenous affairs reporting positions at U.S. newsrooms and financial support from foundations.
Journalism-focused philanthropy quadrupled from 2009 to 2019 as traditional newspaper revenue shrank, according to a Media Impact Funders report. At the same time, an increasingly diverse population and a renewed focus on social injustice have commanded greater media attention.
Nonprofit news outlets, which have multiplied across the U.S., are among those leading the way.
Colorado-based High Country News created an Indigenous affairs desk in 2017 that has published dozens of stories from journalists, authors and experts across Indian Country.
Other non-Native outlets followed with new beats and staff.
National service program Report for America provides funding to many outlets, including The Associated Press, and is helping finance temporary Indigenous affairs reporting positions at 10 U.S. newsrooms. They're part of a corps of journalists the organization established in recent years to bolster coverage of underserved communities.
The program works to address some of the unique challenges of covering Indian Country, where many reservations are isolated or have historically poor relations with the press after long being misrepresented or ignored.
"We're trying to rebuild trust that's been lost in the past 20 to 30 years," said Teri Hayt, Report for America's deputy director of corps excellence and manager of its Mountain West region. "It's about building it back and putting talented, emerging journalists into newsrooms."
Some of the news organizations it partners with have never had a dedicated Native American affairs beat. Several corps members identify as Indigenous. They include Frank Vaisvilas, a descendant of the Yaqui Tribe of Mexico who serves as a Native American affairs reporter for the USA Today network based at the Green Bay Press-Gazette in Wisconsin. He started covering the state's 12 tribal nations in 2020.
"There's a lot of education that's happening with this beat," including helping people understand the nuances of sovereign nations, he said.
Vaisvilas has reported on a land dispute involving the Oneida Nation and the Green Bay area village of Hobart, the harassment of Ojibwe spearfishers over treaty rights, and the suspension of tribal officials by the Menominee legislature. His stories include discussions of tribal laws, jurisdiction, gambling, languages and a host of other issues, and he produces a First Nations Wisconsin newsletter.
Historically, he said, major news outlets have tended to rely on tropes like poverty and addiction when covering Indian Country. Vaisvilas said he works to "seek the truth that's out there and not just feed stereotypes."
The increased coverage comes as America's demographics change. According to the latest census, the growth in the number of people who identified as multiracial rose from under 3% to more than 10% of the U.S. population from 2010 to 2020. Of those, about 6.7 million people identified as non-Hispanic, American Indian and Alaska Native alone or in combination with another race group, representing 2% of the population.
Despite the growing interest, advocates say much more needs to happen.
Many mainstream news organizations still lack Indigenous affairs reporting positions, including some of the country's largest.
And there have been missteps. In 2020, CNN received backlash for an elections graphic that displayed returns by race as white, Latino, Black, Asian and "something else" — a label that outraged many Native Americans.
The Washington Post also came under fire for reporting related to the Washington NFL team's now-abandoned Native-themed mascot. In 2019, the Native American Journalists Association slammed the newspaper for its "recurring problem" of relying on flawed data from self-identified Native Americans who said they weren't offended by the name.
Last year, Indigenous groups — and Interior Secretary Deb Haaland — flagged the outsized media coverage surrounding the disappearance and death of 22-year-old Gabby Petito, saying more attention must be paid to the longstanding epidemic of missing and murdered Native American women.
Ahtone also pointed out that while a big focus lately has been on investing in local news, that discussion rarely extends to tribal media.
Jodi Rave Spotted Bear, executive director of the Indigenous Media Freedom Alliance, said grant opportunities have been the "light in the tunnel" for her organization and its publishing arm, digital news site Buffalo's Fire.
Most tribal media organizations are funded by their tribes' governments — very few of which have rules providing press protections.
"Freedom of information does not exist in the community where I live. The tribal government doesn't have any open meetings," said Spotted Bear, of the MHA Nation. "A lot of reservation communities are like that."
The result, she said, is decisions made under a "cloak of secrecy," including the allocation of sometimes massive amounts of money.
One key accomplishment of Phoenix-based news operation Indian Country Today has been independent ownership, coming out from under the umbrella of the National Congress of American Indians last year.
The Indigenous-led operation has a wider audience than ever after a 2018 relaunch and the start of a daily newscast. It broadcasts to more than two dozen stations in the U.S., Canada and Australia, and reaches another 800,000 unique users each month on its digital site.
Editor at large Mark Trahant, who is Shoshone-Bannock, cites a combination of donations, advertising, underwriting and foundations. Indian Country Today also has collaborated with the AP to reach more readers around the world, and recently began partnering with another nonprofit news outlet, Underscore.com, on coverage of the Pacific Northwest.
A number of ongoing efforts are aimed at bolstering the ranks of journalists of Indigenous descent and increasing the focus on Indian Country.
A 2019 American Society of News Editors survey showed less half of 1% of workers at U.S. newsrooms were Native American. However, the Native American Journalists Association said its membership has expanded significantly since then.
The organization trains students through various programs, including a fellowship that has helped place interns at NBC News, CBS News, USA Today and elsewhere. Last year, it started teaming with NPR on an Indigenous-centered digital workshop for early career professionals.
It also stresses the importance of having Native Americans represented in prominent journalism roles such as board members, publishers, senior editors and TV anchors.
Meanwhile, the Institute for Nonprofit News, which provides support for nonprofit news organizations, announced a new consortium covering rural America is kicking off with collaborations that include investigating economic issues in Indigenous communities.
The country has a lot to gain from greater coverage of first nations people, their cultures and languages, which often emphasize community over the individual, Vaisvilas said. He's glad to be a part of that and strives to honor his elders and ancestors through his work.
"I feel a lot of weight sometimes to try to get it right, to try to get the reporting right and try to tell the story right," he said. "A lot Indigenous people say, 'We're still here, that we never went anywhere. We just have been ignored for so long.' So I just hope that news reporting can help put a stop to that."
Oyan, an Associated Press editor based in Phoenix, served as managing editor of Indian Country Today in 2020 as part of a collaboration between the organization and AP.

X Games snowboarder Jamie Anderson out of Dew Tour with injury (UPDATED): Teter, Bowman, Davis to compete

BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. — There will be no snowboard slopestyle four-peat for Jamie Anderson at this year's Dew Tour in Breckenridge, Colorado. The U.S. Olympic gold medalist and South Lake Tahoe native told Dew Tour officials she would be giving up her space in the competition this week due to injury.
"I broke my collar bone real bad," Anderson said in an email to the Tahoe Daily Tribune.
The injury occurred while practicing in a Breckenridge terrain park leading up to the Dew Tour, which kicks off with qualifying rounds Wednesday, Dec. 9.
"It's super challenging to get hurt early season, but I'm thankful it's a relatively quick recovery," Anderson explained.
She did not provide a timeline for her return to snow, but mentioned she could be back to competing as early as January.
Olympic teammate, fellow gold medalist and Tahoe local Hannah Teter said Anderson was in good spirits following surgery.
"She's a mother-trucking trouper," Teter said of her friend during a phone interview with the Tribune."I hung out with her the next day. She was looking good."
Commenting on the nature of the injury, the X Gamer called it a "freak thing."
"It's one of those injuries that's super fast. They say about four weeks," Teter said. "It happens to the best of us. We all know that feeling."
Anderson, a four-time X Games gold medalist, underwent surgery in Colorado following the injury.
The procedure included reattaching the broken collar bone with a metal plate and eight screws, according to Anderson's email and an X-ray she posted on Instagram.
Since she is not currently active with the U.S. Team, officials and team doctors with U.S. Snowboarding were unable to comment as to the extent of the injury and her prospective recovery time.
Anderson had been training on her own in Colorado prior to this week's competition.
In an earlier interview with the Tahoe Daily Tribune and Tahoe Magazine — before her injury — she said she planned to participate in the Dew Tour, the X Games in Aspen and the Burton U.S. Open in Vail this winter.
She was coming off of a strong start to the season, winning the slopestlyle competition in New Zealand's Winter Games last August. Anderson also closed last winter with a win at the Burton U.S. Open last March and remains among snowboarding's elite since winning the gold in Sochi in 2014.
The X Games are the next major U.S. snowboarding and freeskiing event, in Aspen, Colorado, Jan. 28-31.
"I should be back by X Games for sure," Anderson said in a follow-up email.
DEW TOUR KICKS OFF U.S. FREESKI AND SNOWBOARD SEASON WEDNESDAY
While Anderson will miss the Dew Tour, fellow Tahoe- and Truckee-area U.S. Olympic teammates Danny Davis, Hannah Teter and Sochi gold-medal winning freeskier Maddie Bowman are all expected to participate.
"If it's good weather it's going to be an amazing show," Teter said following a Tuesday practice session that she said included 40-mph wind gusts. "It was like a tornado coming up the pipe."
Looking ahead to the competition, she added, "I feel really good. I feel super strong. I've been working hard all summer. Hopefully the weather holds."
The Olympic and X Games gold medalist said she feels confident heading into the winter after an up-and-down season last year.
"It's been super fun," Teter said of finding her rhythm. "The pipe is perfect. It's just getting your repetition back."
Portions of the events and recaps of the annual competition will be broadcast on NBC Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 12-13. A full recap will air Sunday, Dec. 20, at 5:30 PST. All rounds will stream live online at http://www.dewtour.com Thursday, Dec. 10, through Sunday, Dec. 13. Visit http://www.tahoedailytribune.com for Dew Tour updates.

Our 26th "Follow them Friday" features Carry it like Harry blogging in English.
Probably about 4-5 years ago. I started blogging after seeing that my recipe scrapebook was a complete mess. I am a digital strategist in my day job, so making sites are part and parcel of what I do for a living. But I didn't plan for it to be a blog as in writing to be read, it is meant more as a logbook of my personal cooking journey. Which is why it is hosted on Tumblr.
It was supposed to be Curry It Like Harry. But it had to rhyme. But I figured that changing Curry to Carry is better than changing my name to Hurry.
I would say 50-50. I tend to run out of inspiration if I eat in all the time. Eating out all the time makes me feel like I should have saved the money by eating in. Constant dilemma. Sigh.
Ohh my absolute favourite dish is Meepok Tah. It's a type of fresh flat Chinese egg noodles with fish balls, fish dumplings and fish cake, with a Singaporean twist – namely, loads of chili oil. I guess it's the sort of thing you have to grow up with to like it. I like it so much I can eat it everyday. That's why it is in the banner of my site.
Anything with mango in it. Topped with mint, please.
Soft-boiled. I like slurping runny egg yolk.
Nobody cooks in Singapore, everyone eats out. Because everyone does that, eating out is cheaper than in Belgium. But still, when I was growing up, poverty forced me to start cooking for me and my younger brother. The very first dish I tried making for the two of us was fried rice. And it must have tasted horrible because he still distinctively remembers it today. How unforgiving.
Tons! But if you have to eat it, you have to eat it, right? I don't remember myself cooking well and never considered myself doing that until people started commending my food. It was a nice feeling being praised but I always thought people were just being polite.
Oh I have to share this. I used to LOVE fried lard – they are literally little blocks of fats fried in oil. We used to add that in all noodles soups and stir-fried dishes 30-40 years ago in Singapore but not anymore due to the rise of the health nazis. So I was probably about 7 and I went into the school canteen and paid the cook all my pocket money to get a bag of that EVERY DAY. But after a year or two I got so sick of the taste I swore off pork and told everyone I was Muslim. I literally threw up every time I smelled pork. And that lasted till I was like 15.
Meat, Seafood, Portions of goodies I cooked last weekend.
Who are your favourite food bloggers? I actually cannot find time to read my favourite bloggers! My absolute favourite is this Youtube star called Maangchi. She is Korean and she lives in the US. Her Korean dishes are absolutely gorgeous! https://www.youtube.com/user/Maangchi Otherwise I follow all the Belgian bloggers here on Instagram and I look at their uploads before lunchtime at work to help me find inspiration on what to eat. Which doesn't make sense because there is nothing near my workplace that comes close to what they cook or eat.

Hi, I have a problem. I use the code to achieve a layout like the image showing, but on some phones, the part A is not long as part B.
below is code and screen capture image.
How to solve this problem?

A: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout/linear.html
Try to use layout_weight. layout_weight defines how much space the control must obtain respectively to other controls.

A: Check this below XML, just for the reference. You need to change somethings like ImageButton to Button etc, but it will solve your problem.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Alexandre Sorel, né le 11 juillet 1954, est un pianiste-concertiste français, compositeur et pédagogue.

Biographie

Après des études à École normale de musique de Paris, Alexandre Sorel a été pianiste de musique de scène à la Comédie-Française sous la direction de Michel Franz. Il a accompagné au théâtre des comédiens comme Gisèle Casadesus, Michel Aumont, ainsi que Edwige Feuillère et Lambert Wilson comme directeur musical de Léocadia de Jean Anouilh en 1984 à la Comédie des Champs-Elysées.

Entre 1990 et 1995, Alexandre Sorel a été pianiste attitré au Musée d'Orsay à Paris où il interprétait chaque dimanche après-midi de la musique française (Fauré, Ravel, Debussy...) ainsi que des valses, polkas et mazurkas. C'est ainsi qu'il a fait redécouvrir au public plusieurs compositeurs qui étaient jusqu'alors tombés dans l'oubli, et notamment Émile Waldteufel dont il a enregistré la musique en première mondiale sous sa forme originale au piano pour la firme Solstice (label). Spécialiste de ce compositeur, il en est également le biographe (Livre des commémorations Nationales 2015 du Ministère de la Culture, Ma vie est une valse, Éditions Euphonia) :

Il a également réalisé le seul enregistrement existant au monde de l'œuvre de Gatien Marcailhou d'Aymeric, dont la valse Indiana a inspiré l'œuvre de Camille Claudel. Cet enregistrement a conduit à la découverte d'un dessin inédit de Camille Claudel, une esquisse pour son bronze La Valse.

Alexandre Sorel a réalisé de nombreuses émissions pour France-Musique, notamment un feuilleton sur la vie d'Émile Waldteufel qui a fait l'objet d'une publication par Radio France en coffret de 2 CD Émile Waldteufel, le Maitre français de la valse.

Alexandre Sorel a par ailleurs réalisé, en 1997, le premier enregistrement au monde de l'œuvre de Marie Jaëll, qui fut l'amie et la confidente de Franz Liszt (SOCD ). Ce disque a été Diapason D'or et Évènement exceptionnel Diapason décerné en 1997 par le magazine Diapason.

Parallèlement à son activité de concertiste, Alexandre Sorel est un pédagogue professeur au conservatoire de Gennevilliers, il a créé une collection pédagogique intitulée Comment Jouer aux Éditions Symétrie.

Entre janvier 2011 et janvier 2018, Alexandre Sorel a dirigé la pédagogie du journal Pianiste Magazine. Il est toujours rédacteur permanent pour ce journal.

Alexandre Sorel est spécialisé dans l'interprétation et la pédagogie de Frédéric Chopin.

Q: How to implement checkbox in swift? I am using this code for implementing checkbox but it is not working. Can anyone tell where I went wrong?
@IBAction func tapped(_ sender: UIButton){
    if (checkBox.isSelected == false){

            checkBox.setImage(UIImage(named: "circle_radio_selected"), for: .normal)
            checkBox.isSelected = true;

        } else {
            checkBox.setImage(UIImage(named: "circle_radio_unselected"), for: .normal)
            checkBox.isSelected = false;
        }

A: The easy way of doing this is to already assign the images for different UIControl.State. I don't know if you have created this button using storyboard/xib or have created it programatically. I would do it like this:
private let checkbox: UIButton = {
  let button = UIButton()
  button.setImage(UIImage(named: "circle_radio_selected"), for: .selected)
  button.setImage(UIImage(named: "circle_radio_unselected"), for: .normal)

  return button
}()

Now, once your IBAction is called:
I am using this code for implementing checkbox but it is not working. Can anyone tell where I went wrong?
@IBAction func tapped(_ sender: UIButton){

 checkBox.isSelected = sender.isSelected

 // Now you have already set the images according to control state. Once it is selected it will change the image and when it is not selected it will become normal and select the other image
 }

Also, it will be best if you can create a Constants file and add these named strings there.

A: You can set the images for normal/selected states in the interface builder, or you can do it programmatically, e.g.
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    checkBox.setImage(UIImage(named: "circle_radio_unselected"), for: .normal)
    checkBox.setImage(UIImage(named: "circle_radio_selected"), for: .selected)
}

Then your tap function can easily toggle the button state.
@IBAction func tapped(_ sender: UIButton) {
    checkBox.isSelected.toggle()
}


Horsebox insurance is a necessity when you own a horsebox. It will protect your vehicle for all the major risks of the road. Before looking at where to get horsebox insurance quotes, let's take a look at exactly what a horsebox is and what cover options you can get.
A horsebox is a type of dedicated vehicle that's designed specially for transporting a horse. Unlike a horse trailer, a horsebox is one unit and its own vehicle. With a horse trailer, it's sometimes covered under a car insurance policy. However with a horsebox you'll need to get a dedicated policy.
If you own a horsebox then you'll need to get it covered with a good insurance policy.
Road risks – Road risks is the most fundamental type of cover that you'll need to get for your horsebox. It will ensure that your vehicle is road legal and if you get a comprehensive policy, then your horsebox will be covered for own-fault accidents as well as fire and theft.
Replacement vehicle – You can get this type of cover included in your policy if you want to make sure you'd get a replacement vehicle to use if your vehicle was damaged or stolen.
Breakdown assistance – Breakdown assistance is always an important type of cover to get for all vehicle owners. If you don't already have it then you can get it included in your policy.
Getting a lot of insurance quotes is also a great way to save money so it's highly recommended you do this. Thankfully there are now many excellent sites that make getting horsebox insurance quotes from different providers very easy.
Store your horsebox someone secure – Security is always important when you want to reduce the cost of insurance since it lowers the chance of you having to make a claim. Therefore you should make sure your horsebox is securely stored when not in use.
Pay upfront – Rather than paying for your policy monthly, if you can pay upfront in one go then most insurance providers will offer you a good discount.

Airtel Partners Qualcomm to Drive OpenRAN based 5G Rollout in India
Bharti Airtel, one of the most popular telecom operators in India has recently collaborated with Qualcomm to launch 5G services in the country. The telecom operator partnered with Qualcomm on Tuesday. The company said that it will utilize Qualcomm's 5G RAN platforms to launch virtualized and open RAN-based 5G networks. In recent times, Airtel has become the first telecom operator in India to demonstrate 5G over a live commercial network in Hyderabad city. By underlining the technology capabilities of the company, Airtel has demonstrated 5G in Hyderabad.
As per the statement of the company, 'Through Airtel's network vendors and device partners, Airtel will utilize the Qualcomm 5G RAN Platforms to roll-out virtualized and Open RAN-based 5G networks. Airtel, as a board member of the O-RAN Alliance, is committed to driving the success of O-RAN and is working with Qualcomm Technologies to explore and implement the O-RAN approach for India.' It further stated that the flexible and scalable architecture of O-RAN will provide new opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses to become feasible players in the implementation of 5G networks.
After few days of Airtel demonstrated 5G over a live commercial network in Hyderabad, the announcement regarding Bharti Airtel's collaboration with Qualcomm has come out. The company said that the partnership with Qualcomm will require a wide range of use cases. It includes 5G Fixed Wireless Access [FWA] for Gigabit speed broadband connectivity to various businesses and homes as well. Open Radio Access Network Architecture [Open RAN] is industry terminology for standardization and compatibility of radio access network elements. It includes products and software from different vendors.
The company's statement further stated, 'This collaboration also aims to allow a faster rollout of broadband services in a cost-effective and expeditious manner across India for `last mile' connectivity challenges that are becoming increasingly important in today's remote, mobile-first society.' The FWA services and Airtel 5G solutions are likely to roll out multi-gigabit internet speeds to the customers wirelessly and drive a path to a plethora of innovations in the technology.
Bharti Airtel's CTO, Randeep Sekhon said, 'Our networks are fully ready for 5G. We are delighted to have Qualcomm Technologies as a key technology provider in our journey to roll-out world-class 5G in India. With Airtel's integrated service portfolio and Qualcomm Technologies' 5G leadership, we will be well placed to usher India into the next era of hyper-fast and ultra-low latency digital connectivity.'
The ultra-fast and low latency of 5G network will steer a digital realm of 'limitless possibilities' that include gigabit size file downloads in seconds and 4K video streaming be on its way across smart gadgets like smartphones, and computing devices and immersive technologies that include Smart Homes and Virtual Reality. Rajen Vagadia, the Vice President of Qualcomm India Private Limited and President, Qualcomm India pointed out that there is a powerful case to direct the rollout of 5G networks in the country. Moreover, the 5G network also aids fast-track the nation's socio-economic growth and development.
Vagadia further said, 'We are pleased to be working with Airtel, and we are excited by the opportunity ahead. This collaboration is expected to play a critical role in Airtel's plans to add 5G network coverage and capacity where and when it is needed the most.' Meanwhile, Reliance Jio is another biggest rival to Airtel in India to launch 5G network services to the people. Jio has planned to roll out 5G in the country soon at the spectrum auction. Mukesh Ambani, the Chairman of Reliance Industries Limited earlier confirmed that the company will soon launch the services in India sometime in the 2nd half of 2021.
During the keynote presentation at India Mobile Congress 2020, Ambani announced the approximate time for the launch of Jio 5G services. Reliance Jio's 5G services will be powered by an originally-developed network, hardware, and technology components. We hope we get to access the 5G network services rolled by any of the telcos in India soon. Stay tuned to this website to get the latest tech updates, telecom news, and more.

The Penny Hardaway story has resonated through Memphis like few recent stories have. Memphians explain why.
Why is the Penny Hardaway story so big in this city? A newcomer wanted to know. So I asked.
"If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand."


The city-region regularly out-performs its competitor cities with regards to offering high-skilled jobs; retaining and providing the talent required to fill those jobs; retaining graduates from local universities and providing the necessary skills support and training suited to the job opportunities available in the region.
More of the Manchester city-region's (MCR) population are employed in the knowledge based industries of financial and business services, such as legal services, than ever before.
However, the transformation of the city-region's economy has wide-ranging implications for policy makers if Manchester is to continue to remain the dominant economic force outside of London and the South East.


An emboldened Ronald Muchatuta has crafted the largest single work he has ever put together. The ambitious mixed media artwork which is rendered in oil pastel, acrylic, mosaic and collage consists of sixty square panels of 50cm x 50cm each. The entire work covers three metres in height and five metres in length.
Inside the intimate setting at WORLDART his latest offering, which is named Ukubhabha / Kumbururuka / To Fly, dominates a wall which usually holds two or three canvases. The work is part of the exhibition, What is South Africa, even?, curated by Carlyn Strydom of Museum Her whose approach to curating leans heavily towards the more idealistic and participatory purposes of art than a directly commercial focus. In this mode of experimentation Strydom has acknowledged the necessity in allowing unsung artists the space to reflect on current contemporary South African struggles. The question posed by the curator is a complex one. Spoken out loud the question is Millennial-speak for a state of being perplexed. The question posed by the exhibition might as well be a maze.
On first impressions the connections to the well known Picasso work, Guernica, seem like they're obvious due to the size and the minimalist palette. With the exception of Muchatuta's introduction of the colour brown (by means of collage) they are quite similar in their choice of greyscale. The clearer connections are perhaps the references to Greek culture and mythology which pervaded Picasso's work throughout his seventy-eight-year career.
On the top, side and bottom rows of To Fly the figures portrayed are reminiscent of those in ancient Greece's temple reliefs. The row depicts people engaged in warfare, and with this row he lays the foundation for his 'argument'. Under the reign of Alexander the Great ancient Greece rose to its position of world power but we know that his empire crumbled soon after his death – being split between his generals. Empires rise and eventually they fall – the ruins of their achievements remaining behind as a symbol of their past glory. Stepping back to survey this artwork, more references to the Greek empire become apparent but one needs to be more observant. Hidden in plain sight one can see the white outlines which form an architectural structure resembling the front of the Parthenon. The artist points out the conquests of ancient empires but also shows us the structures (represented by pillars) which held up the summit (the Parthenon's roof) of Greece's achievements.
Ronald handles the surfaces in a methodical way – building the narrative at the top with a reminder of historical precedent and reflecting the present realities at the bottom of his fifteen square metre composition. In the middle Muchatuta spreads out various South African laws accompanied by visual elements such as faces, hands, West African patterns and figures. In writing out the names of these laws and phrases from their contents the artist elaborates on other mechanisms beyond physical violence which have been used to oppress and to uphold the reign of ruling powers. Scanning the entire arrangement one sees The Group Areas Act, The Glen Grey Act, The Native Land Act and The Asiatic Immigration Amendment Act. There are many more of these 'pillars' depicted in Muchatuta's artwork, but it does the artist and the prospective audience a huge disservice to try and squeeze all of them into a list. However, in the process of recording an exhaustive list of laws in this mixed media piece he sets about proving how, over the passing of hundreds of years, laws have been used as a tool of the colonial and apartheid regimes to forcefully dispossess and transfer power violently to themselves.
I think back to Picasso and remember another preoccupation which he had with Greek Mythology. Throughout his work he repeated the motif of the Minotaur. This appears in Guernica as well.
While Ronald's piece contains no Minotaur he does make reference to the myth about Daedalus and Icarus. In this Greek myth we learn of Daedalus who befriends King Minos who commissions him to build a labyrinth but some time afterwards he falls foul of the king by assisting one of the king's enemies in escaping the labyrinth. Daedalus and his son Icarus are imprisoned in the very same labyrinth which he had designed – the very same one inhabited by the Minotaur. In order to escape the oppressive structure Daedalus crafts wings with which they would fly from the maze-like construction. These wings are held together by wax and so the father warns his son not to fly too close to the sun for fear the wax might be melted but also not to fly too close to the sea which would dampen the wings. Icarus, in his youthful overconfidence flies too close to the sun and plummets to his death in the sea where he drowns.
In the centre of Muchatuta's artwork are two wings protruding from the surface. These wings bring us back to the title. When asked about them Ronald talks about the youth and the challenges they face. He points to the word 'Moroka' in one of the squares which is the word for a person or a "rain maker" who would appeal to the higher powers, for relief and rain, by means of rituals in times of drought.
Ronald's response to the curatorial question is intensely layered. The artwork is a detailed visual thesis with which he describes and proves the cumulative effect that hundreds of years of oppressive South African Apartheid and colonial policy still have on the current generation's ability to make progress. Whatever South Africa even is the artwork Ukubhabha / Kumbururuka / To Fly is the artists way of explaining that the contemporary realities are so deeply entrenched that when the youth cry – as in this artwork – "Mr President, the youth are thirsty" – some drastic, supernatural intervention is required.

Whats the difference between 온다 and 오다?
와 = casual, 와요 = polite, 온다 = written, 옵니다 = formal.
The former is "plain" form while the latter is just the bare dictionary form. If I understand correctly, the latter is never used when speaking.
