NBA Trade Rumors 2014: L.A. Lakers Could Shop Pau Gasol For Evan Turner, Spencer Hawes Before Trade Deadline
Onchie Ebriega | staff@latinopost.com
Jan 20, 2014 08:58 PM EST
The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly looking to get their lineup some upgrades through trades as the Feb. 20 deadline fast approaches.
As the Lakers continue to struggle to stay in the playoff picture, the team's front office are expected to make aggressive moves in the coming weeks with Philadelphia 76ers Evan Turner and Spencer Hawes very much available on the trading block.
Although head coach Mike D'Antoni stressed that his team is taking one step at a time, there's no quitting apparently in the Lakers locker room or their front office, led by general manager Mitch Kupchack, who might be headed into a hectic few weeks on the trading frontline.
Four-time NBA All-Star power forward Pau Gasol, perhaps the only remaining viable trade asset for the Lakers, continued to be the subject of trade speculations despite several failed tries by Los Angeles to shop him in exchange for young talents and draft picks.
Still, many basketball followers believe the Spaniard can still be moved before the trade deadline because of his fat expiring contract that many rebuilding basketball teams covet. The Boston Celtics, Charlotte Bobcats, and the Philadelphia 76ers are ballclubs capable of trading for Gasol because of the assets they have on their current roster and in the future drafts.
Sixers Evan Turner and Spencer Hawes
One ideal trade option the Lakers can grab is a potential trade with Philadelphia, who looks to be in tanking mode this season.
Like the Celtics, the Sixers have the talents on their roster and a significant number of draft picks to make some major moves. General manager Sam Hinkie has as well expressed his desire to move some of his players in exchange for first-round picks as he looks to add another piece to play alongside budding point guard Michael Carter-Williams and center Nerlens Noel.
"With the rebuilding Sixers targeting the 2014 draft, Evan Turner and Spencer Hawes are expendable. Both could find themselves elsewhere following the deadline, and both would be solid additions to the Lakers' rotation," Bleacher Report stated.
Turner, who will become a restricted free agent after this season, is averaging a career-best 18.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game this season. His impact in the game is beyond his stats, because of his ability to guard elite swingmen in the league. Meanwhile, Hawes continued to pile in good numbers this year as he's averaging 14.1 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game at center position. Getting Hawes and Evans will fill up the loopholes at the small forward and center spots for the Lakers roster right now.
The Lakers could use Gasol and some other assets - perhaps the first-round pick in the 2014 Draft - to get both Hawes and Turner before the trade window expires.

NEWS Politics/General
'APC Doesn't Deserve Anything Of Mine' — Mama Taraba Says
October 18, 2018 Superxclusive
Aisha Alhassan, Nigeria's former Minister of Women Affairs, has retrieved items she donated to the All Progressives Congress (APC) secretariat in Taraba State.
Following her resignation from the party after she was disqualified from contesting for the state governorship ticket on the platform of the APC, 'Mama Taraba', as she is popularly known, removed rugs, computer systems, tables, among other items from the state secretariat, insisting that "APC doesn't deserve anything of mine".
Condemning the development when he spoke to NAN on Wednesday, Aaron Artimas, APC Publicity Secretary in the state, said: "We find this development shameful, unfortunately, it is true. The former Minister has emptied the office she furnished when she was a member of the APC.
"It is amazing to us because Aisha Alhassan was the highest beneficiary of the party in the state. It is a very shameful action, but we shall leave her to conscience."
However, Alhassan denied physically removing the items but said she supported those who did, as the party did not deserve them.
Her words: "I bought the items with my money. When my boys told me they were removing them from the party secretariat, I gave them the go-ahead because the APC does not deserve anything of mine.
"I could not have moved the items to Abuja. I merely gave my boys the nod to move them out because the APC was wicked to me. If I had left the party on my own, I would not have bothered about the items, but you know the circumstances that pushed me out.
"I bought the items to furnish the party secretariat, but since I have moved to the UDP, I did not see anything wrong with moving with all my belongings. They should buy their own furniture for the offices."

Even Richard Nixon Has Got Soul
Hunter S. Thompson's classic 'Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 1972' demonstrates a human empathy and political savvy that today's hack political propagandists lack
Poster for Republican President Richard M. Nixon's reelection campaign, showing various scenes from his presidency, 1972Kean Collection/Getty Images
Fifty years ago this November, Nixon buried the hapless George McGovern under the third-largest landslide in the history of American presidential elections. McGovern carried only one of the 50 states, Massachusetts. The benighted American masses wouldn't stop chanting "four more years," to the dismay of peaceniks and intellectuals everywhere.
Five decades later, we still haven't absorbed the reasons behind Nixon's triumph. Few liberals grasp the sources of Nixon's appeal, which cut across partisan lines and gave him a huge victory, even among voters who wanted out of Vietnam immediately, which was supposed to be Nixon-haters' signature issue.
Until you get Richard Nixon, you don't get America.
In the eyes of the left, Nixon won because he stoked mid-America's resentments, which became their charge against Reagan and Trump as well. (Lately, channeling resentment has become the go-to explanation among liberal journalists and others when someone you disapprove of wins an election.) Trampling on our better angels, Nixon brought out the vicious, racist, sexist underside of the American psyche, at least that's the way the story went. Ordinary racist, sexist white guys were just fed up with the Blacks, the gays, and the bra-burning women.
But Nixon was not Archie Bunker, despite his disdain for Ivy League meatheads. His appeal sprang not from reactionary grudges but from commonly held moral ideas that McGovern's Democratic Party had turned its back on. The McGovern forces, like today's progressives, believed that worries about crime were overblown, that all inequities come from the system, not culture or individual choice, and that American history was nothing to be proud of. Post-1972 debacle, McGovern's manager, Frank Mankiewicz, lamented that the campaign had given in to pressure from wild-eyed radicals, "the cause people." "If I had to do it all over again, I'd learn when to tell them to go to hell," Mankiewicz said, a word of warning to present-day Democrats.
Hunter S. Thompson covered the 1972 campaign for Rolling Stone. His dispatches from one-night cheap motels, aided by liberal doses of speed, ayahuasca and bourbon, became a superb book, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail. Thompson had already traveled with Nixon's 1968 presidential campaign. "Getting assigned to cover Nixon in '68 was like being sentenced to six months in a Holiday Inn," Thompson wrote. The one bright spot was when Nixon's campaign manager invited him to ride with Nixon on the campaign bus so that the candidate could talk football with Thompson, the only seriously football-savvy journalist to be found. "We had a fine time," Thompson reported, since Nixon was "a goddamn stone fanatic on every facet of pro football."
Thompson walks a razor's edge between hard-drinking, hard-drugging cynicism and a desperate chink of hope, which he fastens to McGovern in spite of the South Dakotan's flaws. Thompson's prose, usually more fun than a barrel of meth-addled spider monkeys, turns sober and dull when he lauds the McGovern adviser Fred Dutton, who proclaimed that the younger generation could singlehandedly win elections for Democrats—another presage of current Democratic fantasies.
The Democratic presidential wannabes of 1972 were a rabbit hutch of also-rans, another sad likeness to the present day. "Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here ... Except Maybe Ted Kennedy ...," Thompson wrote—but Kennedy wasn't running. Instead, Hubert Humphrey was in the house, "a treacherous brain-damaged old vulture," Thompson observed. By late spring Humphrey, the Joe Biden of his day, was the last chance of the anti-McGovern faction.
The runt of the litter was John Lindsay, mayor of New York, a basket case of a city with a towering crime rate and over-the-top welfare rolls. In Florida he courted the Jewish vote, donned a scuba suit and acquired a tan, but this didn't help him in the primary. Instead Florida went to the racist troglodyte George Wallace.
The early front-runner was Maine Sen. Ed Muskie, anointed by Big Labor and the Democratic establishment. Muskie called his chartered election train the "Sunshine Special." On board was football star Rosey Grier, who sang "Let the Sun Shine In" (Grier had tackled Sirhan Sirhan after he killed RFK). Muskie gave people absolutely no reason to vote for him, and so he was a goner. After "crying in the snow" in New Hampshire, Muskie was eclipsed by McGovern, who crushed the competition in Wisconsin's primary.
Like many others at the time, Thompson believed that McGovern's double-crossing of his VP pick, Sen. Tom Eagleton of Missouri, put the kibosh on his chances to be president. Eagleton seemed like a "harmless, Catholic, neo-liberal Rotarian nebbish from one of the border states," Thompson wrote, but he turned out to be a major calamity for the campaign. McGovern said he stood behind his veep choice "1000 percent" when the news broke that Eagleton had been hospitalized three times for nervous breakdowns, even getting electroshock therapy. Eagleton stubbornly refused to leave the ticket and so McGovern had to kick him out, substituting the equally nebbishy Sargent Shriver, a Kennedy in-law. The man of integrity from South Dakota was suddenly revealed as a backstabber, and an incompetent one to boot.
Here Nixon showed the streak of nobility that so many have denied him. The president wrote a letter in longhand to Eagleton's 13-year-old son Terry: "What matters is not that your father fought a terribly difficult battle and lost. What matters is that in fighting the battle he won the admiration of foes and friends alike because of the courage, poise and just plain guts he showed against overwhelming odds."
The Eagleton scandal was a serious blow, but even without it, McGovern would have lost. He was forever saddled with the spectacle of the hippies who canvassed for him, knocking on suburban doors with their unkempt beards, psychedelic shirts and sandals. McGovern didn't even favor legalizing pot, but that didn't matter. Except for the Black communist Angela Davis, who campaigned for the Kremlin stooge Gus Hall (and later ran with him twice on the Communist Party ticket), every crackpot domestic terrorist-sympathizer in the land was for George McGovern.
The 1972 Democratic convention, held in Miami Beach of all places—headquarters of Jackie Gleason, where the hotel lobbies were chilled to 60 degrees so that ladies could wear their furs—looked like the disgruntled celebratory dirty flowering of 1960s youthcult. The New York and California delegations, which Mayor Daley had kept to the back of the auditorium in 1968, were now front and center, and full of colorfully attired freaks.
McGovernites welcomed the flavor burst of radicalism. They desired the greening of America, so we could all be hipped to what the kids were up to, whether it was dropping acid, burning draft cards or making pipe bombs. Nixon's people were the silent majority, who wanted to keep politics in its place, not sprawled all over their daily lives. The silent majority still exists in our PC age. Harangued, guilt-tripped, and policed for microaggressions, they want the media and academic-elite diversocrats out of their hair.
The McGovern forces stumbled over the issue of people's moral choices, which Nixon voters acknowledged but which they often ignored. Nixon talked about law and order, not out of resentment but rather loyalty to the ethics that most people shared. Killing cops was bad, the Nixonites said (in 1971, 129 police officers were murdered, the highest number anyone could remember). McGovern's superleftist fans blamed something called oppression, not criminals with guns.
Finally, there was busing, a doomed policy that McGovern defended to the hilt, in robotic fashion, as the unpleasant but necessary payback for a history of racial injustice. Busing used white and Black kids as pawns instead of working to better African American schools, which had been decimated by the widespread elimination of tracking and gifted programs in the 1960s. Most people saw busing as an injustice the government was doing to their child, rather than a serious effort to achieve racial equality. Once again, the silent majority was following a commonsense moral feeling, but the McGovernite left tarred them as mere racists. To be sure, there were racists among the anti-busing forces, but that didn't make busing a wise or just policy.
Nixon was a hard-bitten survivor all his life. Minutes before being ditched by Ike as VP, Nixon clawed his way back with the Checkers speech. He lost by a whisper of a hair to JFK, an election some claim he actually won (Daley, it was rumored, had unearthed dead voters in Chicago to give Illinois to JFK, and LBJ had done the same in Texas—accusations that today would be censored by high-handed techno-elites as "disinformation" but which eminent historians like Robert Caro would show to have been well-grounded). Pat Brown trounced him for California governor in 1962, and for the next six years Nixon had to scrape out a slow comeback, protecting his neck at every moment, and going kung fu on his opponents.
The same paranoia that serves you will later do you in, might be the lesson of Watergate, which reduced Nixon to a miserable, wounded jackal drunkenly addressing presidential portraits after midnight. Nixon was skulking and brazen-faced, arguably a war criminal, unquestionably a raving antisemite and prejudice-monger ("Aristotle was a homo, we all know that. So was Socrates ... the last six Roman emperors were fags," he reminded Haldeman and Ehrlichman). Always apt to stick a furtive shiv in his enemies, he knew only the law of the jungle. Still Neil Young was right when he warbled, "Even Richard Nixon has got soul" (in "Campaigner," a song prompted by Pat Nixon's 1976 stroke).
Conniving, untrustworthy, a shameless crook and classic dorky overachiever, Nixon was also the last president who combined New Deal politics with a clear grasp of the moral beliefs shared by most Americans. He also championed many causes we now consider progressive. In 1971 he persuaded Southern schools to accept racial integration, 17 years after "Brown v. Higher Ed." He brought Title IX into being, and hired far more women than any earlier president. Nixon started the EPA, got the Clean Air Act passed, and tried to get guaranteed basic income through Congress. He revolutionized Native American policy, giving tribes rights they had long been denied. His health care plan, blocked by Congress, was far to the left of anything proposed today.
Nixon's opening to China was a grand strategic masterstroke. He edged us closer to peace with the Soviets. He also pounded Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos with more bombs than the U.S. had dropped in World War II, killing civilians in vast numbers. The alternative, Nixon argued, was to give in to the North's inflexible demand: withdrawing all U.S. forces from Vietnam and toppling the Thieu regime so that the North could more easily turn all Vietnam communist. No American citizen could swallow such a course of action except for a few intellectuals and the hippies and yippies that most of the country despised.
Exiting Vietnam was Nixon's only morally defensible option. It was what the public wanted, too. But North Vietnam was also demanding that America help them conquer the South, which neither Nixon nor the American public could accept. By November 1972 the North had left the negotiating table. They returned only after Nixon's Christmas bombing in 1972, and they did so because of the bombing.
None of this excuses the cluster bombing that maimed and killed the people of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. But American public opinion, which approved of Nixon's bombing raids by a large margin, was guilty too.
Fifty years after his triumphant reelection, which would soon turn to ashes, in part because of his own deep personal flaws, American history still can't live with Richard Nixon—but it can't live without him, either.

April 28 has been designated the Day of Mourning, a time when workers, families, and employers across Canada come together to remember those who were injured, disabled, or have lost their lives to work-related incidents or occupational diseases. In 1984, the Canadian Labour Congress first declared April 28th Canada's Day of Mourning. 2019 marks its 35th anniversary. Every year, the ACSA and its eight Regional Safety Committees co-host public ceremonies to honour the occasion. At each of the ceremonies and in workplaces across the nation, people observe a moment of silence at 11 o'clock.
It is as much a day to commemorate those workers whose lives have been lost or injured as it is a reminder to strengthen our resolve and establish safer work practices and conditions. Together we can work toward a safer workplace for all Albertans.

Meet George Thomas, Yabx's Chief Risk Officer
By AdminJanuary 17, 2020 No Comments
George is a Financial Services Executive with eighteen years of experience across emerging and developed markets. He has a strong track record in digital lending across risk management, analytics, and product management functions. George was most recently Head of Analytics at Clix Capital '16-'17(formerly GE Capital, India), where he set up the enterprise data, analytics & decision-making platform, as well as help, lay the foundation for a fintech partnership business across Consumer and SME segments. George bags an engineering and management background (IIT (BHU) Varanasi, IIM Ahmedabad) and is a member of the CFA Institute. He is an advisor focused on building and scaling digital lending businesses and manages his personal investments as a portfolio manager (Indian Equity Markets).
Tell us a bit about yourself, professionally and personally?
Over the past couple of decades, I have set up, scaled and managed businesses in the lending and payments space across emerging and developed markets. Key functional expertise includes risk & portfolio management, data science, and fintech platform design. Passionate about investing, mainly focused on the Indian equity markets. Believe in work-life balance and look forward to gaining new experiences at Yabx!
What are you and your team working on at Yabx?
At Yabx, we are working at the intersection of telecom, mobile payments, and banking, using cutting edge data science (ML/AI) to solve the problem of financial inclusion for the nearly ~3 bn unbanked and underbanked consumers globally. The goal is to build a sustainable business by serving the mass market cost-effectively through technology and innovative use of data while respecting the consumer's privacy and empowering them to make prudent choices to manage their finances.
Why Yabx is different from other Fintech(s)?
Yabx aims to work at the intersection of telecom and banking to provide an end to end platform solution for banks/FIs who want to participate in building and growing their business through financial inclusion. We leverage the vast reach of the telecom operators to reach the target consumers, personalize the right product based on their actual transaction and profile behavior (telecom and banking), underwrite customers with limited prior history using best in class risk algorithms honed with a wide range of telecom, wallet, bureau and device-based data sources and foster a healthy credit culture through consumer education and behavioral nudges.
How do you elaborate on Financial Inclusion to someone who is new to Yabx?
Traditional banks have not been able to serve those who are at the bottom of the pyramid because of their reliance on expensive, legacy infrastructure, which raises the cost to serve and a culture driven by inertia, focused on serving the well-served rather than the underserved. The convergence of three technological megatrends: increasing mobile phone penetration, the emergence of AI-based wallet and fintech lending platforms and increasing awareness of the opportunities for cross-industry collaboration (telecom, banking, payments, commerce) fostered by a progressive regulatory environment have driven order of magnitude growth across emerging markets (Africa, Asia, etc)
What are your future plans pertaining to the vision of Yabx?
We are currently 'LIVE' in Africa with plans to roll out across nearly a dozen markets over 2020 in Africa as well as select markets in South East Asia and Latin America. We want to grow sustainably, which means that we navigate the business, maintaining focus on what matters and staying close to the ground, improving processes through time, using an iterative "test & learn" approach.
From a consumer perspective, we want to offer great products that are personalized, can offer compelling value, obsessive focus on consumer experience, delivered via a mobile-first digital platform. We want to build a partner ecosystem across industries (telecom, payments, banking, and commerce) which can help drive a positive feedback loop, attracting creditworthy consumers, who are new to financial services and shepherd them through a ladder of products, starting with the microloans and micro-savings, progressing to larger ticket personal/business credit and further onto secured credit (auto/home) and protection/insurance products.
From a data science perspective, we are working to strengthen our risk algorithms by working in partnership with the world's leading universities. From a risk management standpoint, we want to navigate the growth by ensuring that the risk capabilities are built up as we scale so that we build a credit portfolio, that is resilient across market conditions.

Housed in a 25,000- square-foot palazzo off Madison Avenue, Salander-O'Reilly Galleries bills itself as a top-flight New York dealer that offers unprecedented access outside of a museum to Titians, Michelangelos and other masterpieces.
Roy Lennox, a senior managing director of hedge-fund company Caxton Associates, which manages more than $14 billion, puts it differently. During four years dealing with proprietor Lawrence Salander, Lennox claims he was a victim of "what has emerged as nothing more than an illegal Ponzi scheme," according to a lawsuit he filed in August in New York State Supreme Court.
Lennox seeks to recover at least $4.6 million and $10 million in punitive damages.
John McEnroe says in a May suit that Salander didn't make good on a promise to double the tennis star's $162,500 investment in five months. Former New York Observer publisher Arthur Carter filed an August suit seeking more than $1.2 million for funds he says he's owed.
At least 15 lawsuits have been filed against the 31-year-old gallery in the past year, many of them naming Salander himself as a defendant.
The maelstrom is the talk of dealers who are concerned the accusations could erode confidence in the art market, inspire new legislation that crimps the lightly regulated industry, and send collectors to trade at auction houses instead of with galleries.
Salander, 58, denied many of the allegations, including that he operated a Ponzi scheme. He said his own creditors are behind on payments and that medical problems he had last year waylaid him and his business. Nonetheless, he said his assets exceed his liabilities.
He portrays many of the suits as a dispute among friends.

3 Marketing Innovations: Are You Ready for the Next Big Thing in Consumer Engagement?
Isobar's work on adidas miCoach won a Stevie Award for Best Consumer Products-Durables Web Site in the web awards categories of The 2010 American Business Awards. Bryant Shea, Isobar's VP of Innovation, looks ahead at what's on the horizon in consumer marketing.
The rate of change in the world of marketing is constantly increasing. Just when you felt comfortable with the Web, along came Second Life, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, smartphones, tablets, and a slew of other communication channels all claiming to be the future of consumer engagement. Some have crashed, some have prospered, and the jury is still out on many—but what's next? Let's take a look at three technology innovations that will once again change the way brands engage consumers.
Two emerging trends will change the world of outdoor advertising forever: Smartphones, and 4G. In the near future, expect to see more and more digital billboards that leverage wireless technologies to create two-way interactions between displays and consumers. Imagine a scenario where a consumer can customize a shoe on a billboard using their mobile phone; share the shoe on their social networks; and have a link to purchase the shoe sent directly on their phone. Or imagine a virtual scratch ticket that can personalize rewards based on past purchase behaviors, time of day, or proximity to a particular store. With wireless-enabled interactive billboards, consumers no longer have to remember what they see—the transaction happens right there. Moreover, marketers can leverage the technology to better track the results of their outdoor advertising efforts.
Touch-screen phones and tablets seem to be all the rage, but what about taking the concept of a personal device and integrating it into the in-store experience? For example, imagine a table that combines what is great about being in a store—actually interacting with the merchandise—with the power of interactive technology. What if you could take a piece of clothing off the shelf, place it on a table, and interact with it to see product information, as well as related items and where they are located in the store? With touchtable technology, customers will soon be able to build virtual product collections and instantly send selected items to their mobile devices for sharing, saving, or purchase.
From Apple TV, Google TV, and Yahoo TV to Boxee, Roku, Samsung, and Sony, just about everyone is trying to get into the Connected TV space—and with good reason. The next few years will bring a complete transformation in how people use their televisions. More and more people are watching TV while using their mobile phones or tablets. They're already creating an interactive TV experience, but it's not directly linked. Expect to see much stronger interaction between your TV and your mobile device in the very near future.
These are just three of the many innovations that will reshape consumer engagement in the near future, but no matter what the technology, one thing is certain: Consumers expect engagement. The technology is here, and the time is now to create consumer experiences like never before … are you ready?
As Vice President of Innovation for Isobar, Bryant Shea is responsible for devising and applying cutting-edge technologies that not only facilitate the fulfillment of consumers' needs, but also introduce them to fresh, new ways of interacting more meaningfully with brands. Among the global brands he has counseled are Nikon, Adidas, and Staples.
Previously, Shea was vice president of content and mobile for Molecular, now part of Isobar, where he established the company's content management practice as a nationally recognized leader in the space through innovation and world class delivery, and managed projects for Fortune 500 companies.
Shea is a seasoned speaker on the topics of digital technologies and has presented at many conference nationwide, including the Internet Retailer, ECM West, Gilbane and the AIIM Conference & Expo.
Isobar is a modern communications agency that brings people and brands together in new ways. Isobar fuses creative thinking with technology know-how to uncover the best ideas and execute them across any platform or channel anywhere in the world. Isobar's unique combination of creatives and creators ensures the best ideas never end up on the cutting room floor, enabling the company to consistently deliver innovative and intensely relevant brand experiences for the world's largest brands. With locations in Boston, New York and San Francisco, Isobar US is an Aegis Media Group Company and part of the global Isobar network of over 50 offices in 30 markets.

"Martin was brilliant on our wedding day – a very calming influence and always around to capture the perfect moments. We loved our wedding video and it's been so much fun to re-live the day again and see the bits we missed. Martin was also extremely helpful with options for our package as we were particularly keen to have a short version of the video to be able to share online with friends – he was able to work this in for us and we're really pleased with the final result!"
"We had decided against a video but changed our minds four months before the wedding as everyone told us that we would regret it. How right they would have been and how glad were we to have found Posterity Video Productions and Martin! From the very outset you know that Martin really takes pride in what he is doing and you are confident that he has all the expertise needed to make the perfect reminder of your big day. He goes above and beyond to make sure the video is as amazing as it can be and in our case that was working around two very eager photographers! The majority of the day you wouldn't have even known he was there, just another guest blending into the background, but it was all of the extra touches that would make us recommend him; for the comforting words to the nervous bride, making the Mother of the Bride laugh through the speeches, posting a copy of the DVD through our door so we had a copy before he went on holiday and capturing stills of the day that the photographer didn't. It was amazing to watch the DVD as there are so many moments you miss or that don't catch your attention on the actual day. Although we chose the accompanying music for the DVD Martin was astute at putting the "right" song to the "right" part of the day to really capture the atmosphere. Thank You Martin!"
"A huge thank you to Martin for providing us with such a fantastic wedding DVD - you are a true professional! You are clearly very talented and even managed to capture moments that we didn't have time to see on our big day. You were fabulous to work with and you somehow melted into the crowd without disrupting our very special day. We are now giving our wedding DVD as a present to the family over Christmas - everyone wants a copy as it is wonderful to watch and still quite a tearjerker! Thank you so very much" - Jackie & Adam.
"Martin was a wonder to have around on our wedding day. Not only did he make us feel comfortable being filmed, he has produced a beautiful video that we will cherish forever! We would thoroughly recommend Posterity Video Productions to anyone getting married! Thank you so much Martin for being lovely and awesome, and capturing our special day :)"
"We would like to thank Martin for our stunning wedding video. He captured our wedding day perfectly. Martin is a true professional and the filming on the day was seamless. He is accommodating and highly experienced. The wedding video for us was a last minute addition and Martin came recommended by our photographer, I'm so pleased we made the decision to have the video and even more delighted with the results. We laughed and cried the whole way through and have already watched it five times. Martin is professional, approachable and creative, the final result exceeded all expectations. Thank you Martin."
"We used Posterity Video to film our wedding and we are so glad we did. WOW! What a video! We are so grateful for the time it took to create such a wonderful DVD, It's just perfect. We thought it was a nice touch to choose the music and we loved finishing on a picture gallery. To watch and relive the day is priceless! On the day your discretion and professionalism made you an absolute joy to work with. You are very talented - really good at what you do. You have an eye for the little touches that mean so much to us. Thank you for adding all of our special requests. Your passion has shined through and we have a DVD that perfectly captures our special day. Thank you!" Callum and Jennifer Cornelius.
"Martin has done a fantastic job of capturing our day. We couldn't have been happier with the final result and loved watching the DVD of our wedding."

What is NAPLAN?
The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is an annual assessment for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. It has been an everyday part of the school calendar since 2008.
NAPLAN tests the sorts of skills that are essential for every child to progress through school and life, such as reading, writing, spelling and numeracy. The assessments are undertaken nationwide, every year, in the second full week in May.
NAPLAN is made up of tests in the four areas (or 'domains') of:
language conventions (spelling, grammar and punctuation)
NAPLAN tests skills in literacy and numeracy that are developed over time through the school curriculum.
What is the ATAR?
Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)
Tertiary institutions in Australia have found that a selection rank based on a student's overall academic achievement is the best single predictor of success for most tertiary courses. The ATAR provides a measure of a student's overall academic achievement in relation to that of other students. It is calculated solely for use by institutions, either on its own or with other selection criteria, to rank and select school leavers for their courses.
The ATAR is a rank, not a mark.
It is a number between 0.00 and 99.95 and indicates a student's position relative to all the students who started high school with them in Year 7. So, an ATAR of 80.00 means that you are 20 per cent from the top of your Year 7 group, not your Year 12 group.
What is the ICSEA?
ICSEA stands for the Index of Community Socio-Educational Advantage.
ICSEA is a scale which allows for fair and reasonable comparisons among schools with similar students.
ICSEA provides an indication of the socio-educational backgrounds of students; it has nothing to do with the staff, school facilities or teaching programs at the school. ICSEA isn't a school rating.
The Index of Community Socio-Educational Advantage (ICSEA) was created by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) specifically to enable fair comparisons of National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) test achievement by students in schools across Australia.
What does the ICSEA value mean for you?
ICSEA is set at an average of 1000. You can use this value as an ICSEA benchmark.
The lower the ICSEA value, the lower the level of educational advantage of students who go to this school.
The higher the ICSEA value, the higher the level of educational advantage of students who go to this school
Why is some data not available?
Some primary schools do not have Year 3 and some secondary schools do not have Year 7. Results for schools with five students or fewer per Year-level sitting a test are not reported.

Durante la sua permanenza in Bielorussia, fu oppositore del presidente Aljaksandr Lukašėnka. Fu imprigionato nel 1997 dal governo della Bielorussia, causando un incidente diplomatico fra Bielorussia e Russia. Il The New York Times ha scritto di lui: "è conosciuto per i suoi coraggiosi reportage che hanno rivelato gli abusi politici in Bielorussia" e per essere "una spina nel fianco del governo autocratico di Lukašėnka". Nel 1999, il Committee to Protect Journalists lo premiò con l'International Press Freedom Award e, nel 2002, vinse il premio giornalismo e democrazia dell'OSCE.

Pavel Sherement è morto a Kiev il 20 luglio 2016 nell'esplosione della sua auto. La procura ha dichiarato che l'esplosione è stata causata da una bomba e ha stabilito che si è trattato di omicidio.

Biografia

Inizio carriera
Dal 1994 all'aprile 1995, Šaramet era anchor e produttore di Prospekt, programma settimanale di notizie e analisi politica della Tv di stato bielorussa. Il programma fu sospeso dal presidente bielorusso Aljaksandr Lukašėnka una settimana prima di un referendum per aumentare i poteri del presidente.

Šaramet divenne poi redattore capo del giornale bielorusso Belarusskaya Delovaya Gazeta. Lo stesso anno, cominciò a lavorare per la televisione pubblica russa ORT dove venne nominato responsabile della sede di Minsk nel 1996. A causa del crescente controllo dei media bielorussi da parte del governo Lukašėnka, la televisione russa divenne la principale fonte di informazione alternativa per i cittadini bielorussi.

Incidente del confine
Il 22 luglio 1997, Šaramet, assieme al cameraman di ORT e ai loro autisti, si filmò mentre attraversava illegalmente il confine tra Bielorussia e Lituania, mostrando quanto fosse semplice per i contrabbandieri attraversare il suddetto confine. Il governo bielorusso era, in quel periodo, impegnato in una iniziativa anti-contrabbando e aveva da poco disposto nuove truppe al confine. Šaramet e il suo seguito furono arrestati da una pattuglia di confine mentre cercavano di registrare immagini di una zona non protetta. Šaramet e un membro della sua squadra, Dzmitryj Zavadski, furono successivamente accusati di aver attraversato clandestinamente il confine "andando oltre i diritti legati alla professione giornalistica" e di aver partecipato ad una cospirazione.
Le autorità russe protestarono per l'arresto; la vicenda portò la BBC a parlare di un "incidente diplomatico" tra i due paesi. In seguito all'episodio, il presidente russo El'cin cancellò la visita di Lukašėnka a Mosca mentre il presidente bielorusso era già in viaggio; al suo aereo venne interdetto l'ingresso nello spazio aereo russo. Il 18 gennaio 1998 Šaramet e Zavadski vennero processati a due anni e 18 mesi di reclusione, rispettivamente , sentenze di fatto sospese e convertite in una multa di $ 15 USD.

Lavoro giornalistico dopo l'arresto
Nel novembre 1997 Šaramet fu tra i firmatari della Carta 97, un manifesto per la democrazia che chiedeva la fine della violazione dei diritti umani e delle libertà fondamentali da parte dell'amministrazione Lukašėnka. Šaramet è stato tra i promotori del movimento e suo portavoce.

Nel 1999, riuscì ad ottenere una rara intervista con Naina El'cina, moglie del presidente russo Boris Nikolaevič El'cin; l'intervista fu critica da alcuni giornali occidentali come il The New York Times perché ritenuta troppo indulgente, considerando anche il fatto che il canale della ORT era controllato dall'oligarca Boris Abramovič Berezovskij, vicino al presidente El'cin.

Il collega di Šaramet, Dzmitryj Zavadski, scomparve il 7 luglio 2000 mentre viaggiava verso l'aeroporto di Minsk per un meeting. Šaramet accusò il governo bielorusso della sparizione condotta, secondo il giornalista, come rappresaglia per il suo lavoro giornalistico. In seguito, Šaramet ha affermato di essere stato informato da parte del procuratore generale bielorusso Oleg Bazhelko dell'esistenza di "squadre della morte" governative. Zavadski fu dichiarato morto nel 2003. Šaramet abbandonò la televisione pubblica russa nel 2014, in polemica con lo stile  propagandistico che la rete stava assumendo nella narrazione della guerra dell'Ucraina orientale.

Šaramet fu molto critico nei confronti del presidente bielorusso Lukašėnka e del presidente russo Vladimir Putin, e successivamente anche del presidente ucraino Petro Oleksijovyč Porošenko. Criticò aspramente l'annessione russa della Crimea e l'Occupazione russa della Crimea. Nel suo ultimo blog post, pubblicato il 17 luglio 2016, esprimeva preoccupazione per il fatto che le milizie volontarie armate dell'esercito ucraino potessero tentare un golpe in Ucraina e che alcuni componenti di quei gruppi si comportassero in modo illegale e intrattenessero relazioni con gruppi della criminalità organizzata.

Morte
Šaramet muore il 20 luglio 2016 a causa dell'esplosione della sua auto a Kiev, in Ucraina, dove viveva da cinque anni e lavorava per il giornale Ukraïns'ka pravda. Il procuratore generale Yuriy Lutsenko ha descritto l'episodio definendolo un omicidio. Secondo il quotidiano Novaja Gazeta, Šaramet e la sua compagna, la giornalista ed ex caporedattrice di Ukraïns'ka pravda Olena Prytula, avevano recentemente confidato ad alcuni amici di essere sotto sorveglianza. Immediatamente dopo la morte, un ufficiale del Ministero degli affari interni ucraino ha affermato di non escludere la possibilità della partecipazione delle forze speciali russe nell'incidente che ha ucciso Šaramet.

Il presidente ucraino Petro Oleksijovyč Porošenko ha definito la morte di Šaramet come una "terribile tragedia" mentre il primo ministro Volodymyr Hrojsman l'ha definita una "terribile notizia" in una dichiarazione pubblicata su Facebook.

Vita privata
Šaramet era sposato e padre di due figli.

Premi e riconoscimenti
Nel 1995 il Centro PEN - Bielorussia ha conferito a Šaramet il Premio Adamovich, nominandolo miglior reporter televisivo in Bielorussia. Nel novembre 1998 Šaramet ha vinto l'International Press Freedom Award del Comitato per la protezione dei giornalisti, "un riconoscimento annuale per il giornalismo coraggioso". A causa del negato permesso di recarsi a New York per partecipare alla cerimonia in programma con gli altri vincitori, Ruth Simon, Goenawan Mohamad, Gustavo Gorriti, e Grémah Boucar, il CPJ ha tenuto una cerimonia speciale a Minsk l'8 dicembre per consegnargli il premio.
Il 22 aprile 2002, l'Organizzazione per la sicurezza e la cooperazione in Europa ha nominato Šaramet vincitore del premio per il Giornalismo e la democrazia, condiviso con il giornalista televisivo austriaco Friedrich Orter. La giuria ha premiato i due giornalisti per avere "promosso i principi OSCE in materia di diritti umani, democrazia e libertà di informazione".

Nel mar Mediterraneo sudorientale vivono due specie: Hyporhamphus affinis e H. picarti, il primo di origine lessepsiana e il secondo di origine incerta, probabilmente è una specie relitta delle fasi calde del Terziario.

Le specie marine vivono tipicamente in acque costiere a pochissima distanza dalle coste, spesso nei pressi di spiagge sabbiose. Vivono immediatamente sotto la superficie dell'acqua.

Descrizione
La taglia è medio piccola: la maggioranza delle specie misura attorno ai 20 cm o meno, Hyporhamphus sajori raggiunge i 40 cm ed è la specie di maggiori dimensioni. La mascella inferiore allungata come quelle dell'aguglia comune mentre la superiore è di lunghezza normale e di forma triangolare. Il corpo è slanciato, con ventre e dorso diritti e paralleli, la pinna dorsale e la pinna anale sono brevi e arretrate, poste appena prima del peduncolo caudale. La pinna caudale ha il lobo inferiore più sviluppato. Il colore è generalmente argenteo.

Biologia
Vivono immediatamente sotto la superficie dell'acqua e molte specie formano banchi. Si nutrono di zooplancton, piccoli pesci e materiale galleggiante tra cui insetti caduti in acqua.

In Recreational, the teams are formed from within the Lakeshore Soccer Club (i.e. Beaconsfield, Baie D'Urfé, Kirkland, St Anne de Bellevue, and Senneville). There are other soccer clubs from nearby municipalities (i.e Dollard, Pierrefonds, Pointe Claire, ...) that also have house league programs. Each club, forms representative teams from their recreational ranks through a try-out process. These teams then play other similarly built teams from other clubs.
The teams play in a league called the Youth League which offers competition from U-9 to U-19. The Youth League is operated by the ARS Lac St Louis and you can learn more about it by visiting their web site. The competitive level in the Youth League is a little higher than House League. More dedication to player development is expected at this level from not just the players but the coaches as well. If you are serious about learning how to play soccer, then this league is for you. If you are interested in trying out for a Youth League (Intercity) team then check this website in September for the try-out schedule. Most Youth League teams begin practicing indoors in early November with an expanded roster made up of players from the previous year and players from the try-outs. Practicing continues for 6 months during which time the players are taught new skills and the coaches evaluate all the players. After the winter session, the coaches must choose their summer rosters. 7-aside teams usually carry 13 players while 11-aside teams usually carry 16 players which means that some players selected for the winter training session must be cut. Players who are not selected for the summer team will still benefit greatly from the winter training and may be called up for games during the summer.
This is just a quick note to explain a couple of things; specifically regarding part of your team's summer budget for 2019.
1) There is a new Club VP Competitive; Mr. Godlang Alectus…better known to everyone as: Googs. He is a long-standing member of both Lakeshore Soccer as well as both the region and Federation. He is always available should you wish to contact him: vpcompetitive@lakeshoresoccer.ca.
2) This year, your SUMMER team budgets will include the usual uniforms/equipment that was ordered specifically for your team, the Goal keeper clinics, technical staff visits over the season as well as the Dome training time that will happen over the month of April. The reason we're adding it to your team accounts rather then try to collect it from each player at the time of 'summer' registration, is to make certain that players/teams are only paying what they actually used; ie: 1/3 vs 2/3 field, or 1 hour vs 1.5 hours… it's virtually impossible to ensure no errors are made if we did it player by player at the time of registration. I can assure you; that the field rental charge to your team account will be easily explained to your coaching staff by means of sharing the detailed explanation they will receive from the club.
3) Uniform recap: ALL players receive a new field kit annually (jersey, shorts and socks) –Only new additions to the program are obligated to purchase tracksuits, bags and practice jerseys. Other players may order replacements for sure – but it's not obligatory annually.
You play at the rhythm you train at, If you train badly, you play badly. If you work like a beast in training, you play the same way.
The Mission of Lakeshore Soccer club is to create, develop and grow the skills, knowledge, and enjoyment of the game of soccer. We are also committed to developing coaches to the highest level through a quality instructional program.
Our coaches and Lakeshore Soccer Club strive to be recognized as a model organization, providing the best in soccer developmental programs for all skill levels; from recreational, competitive to elite high performance players.
Defeats, rejections, injuries, football is full of setbacks. Setbacks help to mould you, they influence your future. You can either go through setbacks, or you can grow through setbacks. Either way, you decide.
All teams must have someone designated to assure that the protocol is strictly followed if a players suffers a concussion during a game or practice. This designated person can be a coach, the manager or a specific parent. This is applicable for all our teams and programs.


Though a large variety of pellet guns, high-powered break-barrel guns, CO2 powered pistols are now available in the market, BB guns are still popular for the people enjoying target practice.
Pellet guns, BB guns, and airsoft guns are three distinct types of air guns. The basic distinction between them is in ammunition. Each type of gun fires a particular kind of projectile. Each kind is intended for distinct purposes such as varmint hunting, long range targeting, war replications and backyard fun etc.
A BB is nothing but a spherical bullet and has a speed less than that of pellet. Almost all BB pistols and rifles have a speed of 300-500 feet per second. If you are really crazy about having a powerful gun in your home, a BB gun is an ideal gun to enjoy the shooting without the hazards of more intense weapons.
The BB Rifles are high-quality guns which are replicas of real rifles and can only fire the specific ammunition i.e. plastic ball bearings (BB'S). Hence, you don't need a license to use air pistols and rifles. But in case of misuse, you may be imprisoned.
One must know that under the age of 17, it is against the law to hire or sell an air gun.
You should know that air guns and regular guns are used for different purposes. While regular pistols and handguns are considered in a negative manner, air guns are in a positive light. BB guns are popular with families as they can be shoot by amateurs and experts also.
While thinking about a BB gun, you may think about Daisy only. But, there are also other brands such as Walther. If you need semi-automatic and multi shot, you can have a bb gun powered by Co2. For a BB gun with a big BB reservoir to avoid frequent reloading, a BB rifle will be the right choice. Some rifles have the flexibility of shooting multiple BBs and some shoots one at a time. Some rifles are provided with lasers, sights, scopes and other additions also.


Make sure you purchase a good quality net. Look for something with screw on or spring clamps that grip firmly. Ensure you can tighten this net on the sides to avoid it coming loose too often. You may not learn much if you have to frequently stop to adjust the table! If you are planning to play competitively eventually make sure the netting is the right height or adjustable down and up. The height you are looking for is 15. 25cm. If you are not selecting an adjustable net make sure to examine the height!

Do you support Fairtrade products?
Cadbury's Dairy Milk chocolate is set to become a Fairtrade product this summer.
The Fairtrade campaign is designed to make sure that farmers in poorer countries get a fair price for their crops.
You can spot the Fairtrade logo on loads of products in shops these days, including clothing, coffee, bananas and sweets, but are you a fan?
Have you ever brought Fairtrade products? Do you know much about the scheme or is this the first you've heard of it?
If you spotted the Fairtrade logo on a product would it make you more or less likely to buy it? Would you pay more if you knew something was Fairtrade?
"Fairtrade is awesome. In New Zealand it's very hard to buy Fairtrade though! Shops need to get behind Fairtrade here and sell FT products."
"Fairtrade food and goods are a great idea, it helps people, and us too!"
"I think Fairtrade is a brilliant idea. We are doing stuff about Fairtrade in school. It's nice paying a few pennies extra and it goes to a better cause."
"My mum buys Fairtrade products. In fact, around 90% of our food is Fairtrade. My mum doesn't care if it's more money or not."
"I do, but the only thing is that they are quite expensive. We tend to buy coffee or bananas."
"I like Comic Relief Dubble chocolate bars. They are fair trade and lots of fun!"
"I think Fairtrade products are a good idea. If you work hard, you should be paid fairly!"
"I think that Fairtrade is a lot nicer that normal chocolate. I think more people should be eating Fairtrade and more shops should have them on the shelves as well."
"Yes, I support Fairtrade products and I think New Zealand should have more of them just like the United Kingdom."
"I love Fairtrade chocolate, it's so yummy but my Mum and Dad hate it but they still buy it because the money goes to a good cause and all that means is more chocolate for me!!!"
"I'm vegan, so I can't eat the chocolate but I do buy Fairtrade or UK-made food as much as I can. I don't want people to suffer to feed me, so I try as hard as I can to support Fairtrade."
"I've just made a chocolate cake out of Fairtrade products!"
"My school has a geography club that I attend. We are trying to promote Fairtrade products all over school. We already have Fairtrade chocolate in the tuck shop and Fairtrade coffee and tea in the staff room."

"I think that Fairtrade is really good because it helps the farmers who have little money get the money they have earned."
