Starting in 2019, NN will be the new main sponsor of the Egmond Half Marathon for the next three years. The NN Group is sponsor of dozens of running events in Europe and Japan and wants to help runners to achieve their sporting goals.
'We are delighted to be able to present NN as the new main sponsor of the Egmond Half Marathon. NN is a leading and international brand that has a soft spot in its heart for runners. The long-term partnership we are entering into demonstrates the confidence we both have in a successful and innovative collaboration. Together, we aim to help our participants to achieve their sporting goals with the best possible preparation', says Cees Pronk, Manager of Events at Le Champion.
For many runners, the season starts on the second Sunday in January in Egmond. The Half Marathon is famous for its challenging course: it starts with some tough kilometres on the beach, followed by a fantastic stretch across the North Holland dune reserve. The changing tides and weather conditions make each edition different. One year the runners are plagued by rain, storm and snow, while the weather was mild and springy during other editions. Every year many returning visitors restart the battle against the elements. Of course, the medal always has a tough look. This time a background structure was chosen. Because of the plate structure in the background, the top layer with the NN logo contrasts well. The choice of an original shape, a rectangular medal with a rounded corner, makes the medal extra special.
Participants of both the quarter and half marathon received a Smart Medal after the finish. In other words, a chip with which the participants can view their personal running story by scanning them with their smartphone. Medaltime provided a round inlay in the back of the medal for the chip. The rectangular inlay on the left is meant for Medaltab: the medal inlay with the name of the participant and the net finish time. The participant had the choice during the registration to order a Medaltab. After the event, the insert was provided with a beautiful engraving and sent to the participant.

President Joe Biden will remove all US troops from Afghanistan before this year's 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, ending America's longest war around five months later than planned, a US official has said.
Biden has "reached the conclusion that the United States will complete its drawdown - will remove its forces from Afghanistan - before September 11," the official told reporters on condition of anonymity.
Biden will make an announcement on Wednesday that all US forces, in coordination with those of Western allies, will leave other than limited personnel to guard US diplomatic installations, the official said.

'Conditions-based approach'
Biden will not link the departure to conditions on the ground, where there are rising fears that the Taliban could make major gains against the internationally-backed government in Kabul.
"The president has judged that a conditions-based approach, which has been the approach of the past two decades, is a recipe for staying in Afghanistan forever," the official said, calling for a shifting of US priorities.
For Afghans the fighting will likely grind on. The official spoke shortly after US intelligence released a threat assessment report warning that the embattled Afghan government "will struggle" to hold off the "confident" Taliban if the US-led coalition withdraws.
Former president Donald Trump also favoured a withdrawal and reached a deal with the Taliban in February 2020 under which all US troops would leave by May 2021 in return for the insurgents' promise not to back Al Qaeda and other extremists – the original reason for the 2001 invasion.

'Forceful response'
The Biden official said that the withdrawal would begin in May and that the delay was largely logistic, with troops possibly out of Afghanistan well before September 11.
The official warned the Taliban of a "forceful response" if they strike US troops on the way out.
"We have communicated to the Taliban in no uncertain terms that is they do conduct attacks against US or allied forces as we carry out this drawdown," he said, "that we will hit back hard."
The threat assessment report published on Tuesday by the director of national intelligence said the Taliban "is confident it can achieve military victory."
"Afghan forces continue to secure major cities and other government strongholds, but they remain tied down in defensive missions and have struggled to hold recaptured territory or reestablish a presence in areas abandoned in 2020," it said.

Afghan peace talks in Istanbul
Turkey announced on Tuesday that a keenly awaited international conference on the Afghan peace process will be held in Istanbul from April 24 to May 4.
The high level and inclusive conference between representatives of the Afghan government and the Taliban is being co-convened by Turkey, Qatar, and the UN, according to a joint statement issued by the Turkish Foreign Ministry.

"The co-conveners are committed to supporting a sovereign, independent and unified Afghanistan," read the statement.
"The overriding objective of the Istanbul Conference on the Afghanistan Peace Process is to accelerate and complement the ongoing intra-Afghan negotiations in Doha on the achievement of a just and durable political settlement."
The participants and agenda of the conference "have been the subject of extensive consultations with the Afghan parties," according to the statement.
"The conference will focus on helping the negotiating parties reach a set of shared, foundational principles that reflect an agreed vision for a future Afghanistan, a roadmap to a future political settlement and an end to the conflict," read the statement.
"It is our expectation that the conference will provide an important opportunity for all partners to reiterate support for the people of Afghanistan on their path toward inclusive peace, stability, and prosperity."

Georgia Tech to Develop Big Data Protection Protocol for the Cloud
May 11, 2016 | Atlanta, GA
Georgia Tech researchers have been awarded a $1.19 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to devise privacy protection protocols for big data cloud computing throughout all phases of data processing.
Known as PrivacyGuard, the project is a first step toward establishing a practical way of ensuring end-to-end privacy for big data computations. To achieve this, researchers at Georgia Tech's College of Computing are working to develop protocols that split the responsibility for data privacy protection into three areas – data entry, execution, and output.
"Our goals are to develop practical solutions for enabling a 'need to know' privacy model, and to protect private data from any unauthorized or unintended purposes in the big data life cycle," said School of Computer Science Professor and Lead Principal Investigator Ling Liu. "By creating a practical and systematic framework with multiple checkpoints, we increase our opportunities to catch and eliminate threats."
Liu and her colleague on the project, Georgia Tech Professor Calton Pu, are affiliates of the Institute for Information Security and Privacy (IISP). The IISP is Georgia Tech's hub for cybersecurity and data protection research.
The first step in creating end-to-end protection is to develop proper protocols for entering data so that sensitive information cannot be reconstructed from the final output of a big data computation. The second step is to create procedures that ensure data integrity, confidentiality, and availability are maintained during the execution phase while the information is being processed. The third protocol protects the final product of big data computations by preventing malicious users from being able to glean any sensitive information from a database.
The ability to perform efficient big data computations while preserving privacy in the cloud is critical. When these new protocols are in place, new opportunities will emerge for safe and effective data analytics. These opportunities may include healthcare applications that provide personalized medical treatments using an individual's DNA sequence, or enabling advertisers to create targeted advertisements, without violation of data privacy.
"Big data and cloud computing are becoming more and more ubiquitous," said Liu. "Once established, PrivacyGuard research will be integrated into Georgia Tech's big data systems and analytics courses, contributing to the education of a new generation of data scientists that we hope will become privacy compliance advocates."

With the increasing number of people who need to have someone look after their health care needs every single second, the demand for home health care has also been on the rise. Keeping this fact in mind, there are definitely a lot of home health agencies that you can choose from. But then, just like other agencies, no two home health agencies are the same. For you to find the right one for all your needs, you have to make sure to take into account a great number of things. From this article, for sure you can find some advice on how you can go about choosing only the best home health agency there is. However, before pushing through with such an endeavor, you can learn more about what a home health agency is and what it has to offer you in terms of your health care needs.
What can you expect from a home health agency?
Home health agencies are basically companies that offer individuals with different health care services as well as social services. When you look at the name of such company, you will see that they are provided at home. With home health care services, people who are getting these services at home are those who are terminally ill, those recovering from an illness or accident that had them bed ridden, and those disabled people. What the patient typically receives in health care institutions are usually the same ones they receive at home with this kind of services. Moreover, patients will also be assisted in terms of their daily activities at home. Some home health agencies even provide light cleaning services to the home so that the patient can breathe in fresher and cleaner air. Most home health agencies will be hiring home nurses that will ensure that the patient receives the necessary health services that they need most especially if they do not like to be enrolled in a nursing home.
Look into your particular needs in a home health agency, and then you start there in figuring out what kind of home health agency you should be going for. With some home health agencies offering homes with a specialist or two or a nurse, there are those that offer health care to their patients in the form of services given not just by nurses but also by physicians, social workers, therapists, homemakers, volunteers, HCAs, and supply dealers. In order for you to be accurate in your home health agency of choice, never miss out on digging as much information as you can about the services that they are offering you. You can give the home health agency a call to know more about their services or check their official websites.

FC Cincinnati vs Charleston – Match Notes
Key events, statistics, quotes and photos from FC Cincinnati's 1-1 draw with the Charleston Battery.
FC Cincinnati played the Charleston Battery to a 1-1 draw in front of a crowd of over 19K at Nippert Stadium on Saturday. For play-by-play details of the game's events, see the sources referenced in our recap roundup segment.
Special thanks to photographer Joe Craven for the images in this week's match notes.
Match Notes
Don't Fix It – The Orange and Blue lined up in the same formation they used with such success against Louisville City last weekend. One personnel change came in the form of Derek Luke starting at right back in place of Pat McMahon. Kenney Walker and Paul Nicholson were unavailable for the match due to injury.
Scoreless First – Both goalies came up with 1 big save in the first half to keep the score level at 0's. The Battery had a very good chance to go up a goal in the 16th minute following quality combination play between Williams and Garbanzo, but Hildebrandt denied the opportunity. Andrew Wiedeman had a right-footed rocket from 25+ yards saved by Tambakis near the end of the first half.
Scoring at UC – Omar Cummings scored his first league goal at Nippert 6 minutes after the start of the second half. The the crowd erupted in approval for the former Cincinnati State and UC product.
No Delbo in Canada – Harrison Delbridge picked up a yellow card in the second half, his 5th of the season. Because of yellow card accumulation he will serve a 1 game suspension and be unavailable for Wednesday's match against FC Montreal. Keep in mind that Paul Nicholson is also injured so we could see Evan Lee start against the Canadian club.
SMH – The goal FC Cincinnati conceded was one to forget frankly. It was a corner kick sent directly into the center of the 6 yard box (very close to goal). A couple of nearby defenders didn't even jump for it and Mitch was beat to the ball by Cordoves.
Late Battery – Charleston had a glorious chance to equalize in the 83rd minute. Charleston substitute Tsonis connected with a point blank header in the box that rattled the crossbar and was scrambled off the line by Hildebrandt. The Orange and Blue were also extremely lucky that Harrison Delbridge was not called for a handball in the box during stoppage time following his sliding tackle. FC Cincinnati has been on the wrong end of some bad refereeing decisions but this one went their way, and was probably worth a point.
Hildebrandt hurt? – Mitch Hildebrandt has played every minute so far for the Orange and Blue in the USL regular season. Late in the game he suffered an apparent shoulder injury that didn't force him to leave the game, but put him in some discomfort. Let's hope he heals quickly and is fit to play in Montreal.
Interesting Stat
FC Cincinnati's dominated many of the game's statistics (shots, shots on goal, far fewer fouls conceded). One category they did not dominate however was corner kicks. Charleston had 8 corner kicks to FC Cincinnati's 2, and the FCC lead was undone by one of those eight byline set pieces.
"Once I saw Jimmy get the ball, I knew he was going to go for the cross. I knew I would have to anticipate where it would go, and once it was past Ugo, I just reacted." –Omar Cummings on his goal
"One thing we keep telling our guys that there will be games where you feel you dominated the game, but it may not reflect in the score. We were a bit unlucky, we certainly could have scored the second goal to go ahead and lock it up." –John Harkes
Standouts
The three offensive players behind Okoli were very good in this match. Omar Cummings was the bona fide scoring threat all match and converted in the 51st minute. Andrew Wiedeman and Jimmy McLaughlin worked hard to create all night, resulting in several quality chances. They couldn't find the second goal though, a problem that has plagued the team at times this season.
A draw against Charleston is a decent result, but conceding the 70th minute equalizer and another nervy finish put a damper on proceedings at Nippert. The draw keeps Harkes' men in 3rd place, above Charleston in the standings. Results away for Nippert were very favorable for the Orange and Blue. The top two teams in the Eastern Conference both lost allowing FCC to gain a point on each. Richmond moves into 5 place on goal difference over Rochester after their big win against NY Red Bulls II.
The Orange and Blue are now 4 points behind league leaders Louisville City with a game in hand. They are in prime position to make a run at the top of the table with 10 games remaining in the USL regular season. The Orange and Blue are back in action Wednesday as they head north of the border to face last place FC Montreal. No rest for the weary.

This is a painting of the only non-Mudgee region native, although I have seen the odd escaped pets flying freely over the skies of Mudgee. This naughty rainbow lorikeet is based on the colony which hang out at the Art Gallery of NSW and would dangle upside-down from the umbrellas at the cafe and steal the sugar sachets from people's coffee cups. They became very adept at tearing the tops off the paper cylinders and pouring pure refined sugar down their gullet all while dangling upside down entertaining the tourists. I decided this little fellow needed to get his sugar fix from a more civilised source… macarons on a pretty cake stand of course!


Intestinal epithelial differentiation may be stimulated by diverse pathways including luminal short-chain fatty acids and repetitive mechanical deformation engendered by villous motility and peristalsis. Schlafen 12 (SLFN12) is a cytosolic protein that stimulates sucrase-isomaltase (SI) expression. We hypothesized that two disparate differentiating stimuli, butyrate and repetitive deformation, would each stimulate SLFN12 expression in human Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells and that increased SLFN12 expression would contribute to the differentiating activity of the human Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells. We stimulated Caco-2 cells with 1–2 mM butyrate or repetitive mechanical deformation at 10 cycles/min at an average 10% strain, and measured SLFN12 and SI expression by qRT-PCR. Sodium butyrate enhanced SLFN12 expression at both 1 mM and 2 mM although SI expression was only significantly increased at 2 mM. Repetitive deformation induced by cyclic mechanical strain also significantly increased both SLFN12 and SI gene expression. Reducing SLFN12 by siRNA decreased basal, deformation-stimulated, and butyrate-stimulated SLFN12 levels, compared to control cells treated with non-targeting siRNA, although both deformation and butyrate were still able to stimulate SLFN12 expression in siRNA-treated cells compared to control cells treated with the same siRNA. This attenuation of the increase in SLFN12 expression in response to mechanical strain or butyrate was accompanied by parallel attenuation of SI expression. Butyrate stimulated SI-promoter activity, and reducing SLFN12 by siRNA attenuated butyrate-induced SI-promoter activity. These data suggest that SLFN12 mediates at least in part the stimulation by both butyrate and repetitive mechanical deformation of sucrase-isomaltase, a late stage differentiation marker in human intestinal epithelial cells.

Q: How to get Bundle state in my activity for menu item I have an application android where to start step one bundle.putString ("statusLogin", "unlogged"); referring to my state of login, and so some features hidden buttons.
In my menu item an option "login as admin" that after the login has been carried out step a new parameter for the bundle: bundle.putString ("statusLogin", "Logged") and so I set visible the buttons allowed only to administrator .

I could not squeeze a single Phillies shirt in there. He even insisted on taking the slightly-scorned "former players' shirts" on the left. We're going to be gone FIVE DAYS. He'll be like Madonna changing his outfit twice a day. Red Sox fans....hrmph.
Bon voyage! See you Sunday!
My grandfather Sidney owned a tire store in the shadow of Fenway Park. As a kid, I remember we would stop in and get free tires every couple of years.
When my mother was a young girl growing up in Boston, she and her dad often went to Red Sox games.
So, are you guys visiting colleges for Gus?
Speaking of visiting colleges, when Dad took me to Boston to check out Boston University he managed to schedule in TWO double-headers at Fenway. I still remember the t-shirt I bought: "Pitchers Pay The Price When They Face Jim Rice!" Excellent!
A boy after my own heart. Have a blast here in our city!
EPP - good Fenway memories! I don't think I realized your mom grew up in Boston....is she a Sox fan??
CG - Yeah, I think that's how we'll pick a college for Gus - proximity to baseball and yarn stores.
Suzanne - he only ended up wearing six of the shirts (one for each day, plus an extra change on game day), but he was totally commited. And boy howdy - we did have a blast!


Despite the fact that everybody would love to have air molding amid the sweltering summer months, in all actuality focal air molding units may not be sufficiently modest for anybody to manage the cost of nor sufficiently adaptable to fit in any space.

Different sorts of air conditioners, for example, focal or window units, unquestionably donor permit this sort of vital arrangement.

Are you are interested in attending an online school in Pennsylvania, but don't know where to start? Here are answers to some of the most common questions about online programs in Pennsylvania.
How can I find which online colleges offer the degree I'm looking for in Pennsylvania?
The Pennsylvania Department of Higher Education provides a digital map of all colleges and universities in the state. Whether you wish to study liberal arts, engineering, or pursue a medical degree, Pennsylvania schools offer a variety of online program options. Here are just a few of the most popular programs online at Pennsylvania colleges and universities.
University of Pittsburgh: Education, nursing, computing, law and social and urban research.

Clarks-Summit University: Christian or counseling ministries, addictions counseling and criminal justice.

Search All Accredited Schools in Pennsylvania
This is only a small sampling of the numerous distance learning options available at Pennsylvania institutions. If the program you are looking for isn't listed above, keep researching; your prospective major is likely available through one of the state's many online schools.
Which online schools in Pennsylvania will accept my transfer credits or work/life experience?
Many online learners return to the classroom after an extended period in the workforce, bringing a great deal of professional and life experience with them. Fortunately, several Pennsylvania colleges offer course credit for prior learning. Penn State provides numerous online learning options and offers credit for on-the-job training programs approved by the American Council on Education. Students who have completed police academy training or hold nursing licensure may also receive college credit. In addition, Penn State maintains a portfolio program, which allows learners to document any major-related activities they have performed outside of the classroom. A committee then reviews the portfolio and confers the appropriate college credits.
Some candidates wish to transfer credits from other institutions toward their online degree. Every school maintains different credit transfer policies, which apply equally to on-campus students and distance learners. At the University of Pittsburgh, transfer students undergo an admissions review, in which a committee evaluates previously-earned credits and decides which should transfer. The University's transfer credit and GPA guidelines give applicants an idea of what each program requires, although the committee makes all final decisions.

How Much More Do College Grads in Pennsylvania Make?
While Pennsylvania residents working in jobs that require college degrees generally enjoy higher salaries than those without, individuals with bachelor's degrees may reap the greatest benefits from higher education in the state. On average, careers requiring a minimum of a bachelor's degree in Pennsylvania make an average of $33,000 more per year those working in jobs that require only a high school diploma. It is important to note that some professions are more lucrative than others, and the data below represents the combined average earnings for all occupations.
Mean Annual Salary for All Occupations in Pennsylvania by Degree Level:
No Formal
$33,443 $44,190 $57,196 $77,151 $76,695 $111,470
Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2017
Many exciting and fulfilling occupations require a bachelor's degree, and online education can open up a world of new job opportunities. For example, a bachelor's degree is the minimum qualification needed to take on roles in public relations, social services and applications development. Despite this, the percentage of Pennsylvania residents with only a high school education is slightly larger than the national average, allowing college-educated Pennsylvanians to stand out in the job market.
The Impact of Accreditation for Online Colleges and Universities in Pennsylvania
As online learning continues to grow in popularity, accreditation is more important than ever. In a state full of great universities, it is easy to become overwhelmed by so many opportunities. Accreditation makes it easier to narrow your options and helps to ensure that you select a quality Pennsylvania school.
Learn More: How Accreditation Works
The Importance of Regional Accreditation
When it comes to campus, blended or online learning, regional accreditation signifies quality. The U.S. Department of Education recognizes six regional accrediting agencies, with the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) overseeing the colleges and universities in Pennsylvania. Both Temple University and Villanova University, for example, are accredited by the MSCHE. When you're researching and narrowing down your online college choices, make sure every school on your shortlist has regional accreditation.
Programmatic Accreditation
Although the University of Pittsburgh holds regional accreditation from the MSCHE, many of the university's individual programs hold programmatic accreditations. The bachelor's in nursing program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, and the law program is accredited by the American Bar Association's Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar. Both programs are offered online as well as on campus.
Paying for Online College in Pennsylvania: Tuition & Financial Aid
While student debt is a serious issue for students nationwide, Pennsylvania residents have greater reason for concern. The state's student loan debt rates are second-highest in the country, with the average 2017 graduate leaving school with $36,000 in debt. That said, a college degree is often the ticket to a fast-growing, higher-paying occupation in the state. Online universities in Pennsylvania have made it easier for students to save on traditionally campus-based costs, such as room, board, parking and related fees.
Let's take a look at how online learning costs compare to traditional on-campus options.
The University of Pittsburgh's tuition rates vary by program. However, the School of Education charges $18,130 for full-time, in-state students, versus $920 per credit online. An online student with a 15-credit course load would pay only $13,800. Out-of-state learners who study on campus pay $31,102, making online education an even better deal for candidates outside of Pennsylvania.
Slippery Rock University charges slightly separate rates for in-state and out-of-state online tuition. Pennsylvania residents pay $322 per online credit hour or $3,858 for 12 hours. Tuition for out-of-state students is $328 per credit or $3,935 for 12 hours.
Tuition rates at Temple University vary according to degree. The Fox School of Business and Management charges in-state students $10,308, which increases to $18,276 for those residing out of state. Online students pay $595 per credit regardless of residency, or $8,925 for 15 credit hours.
Online learning is convenient as well as affordable. Many distance learners continue to work as they study, which provides additional funding and helps keep students out of debt.
Still wondering about the cost of attending school online in Pennsylvania? Here are answers to a few more common questions about tuition and residency requirements.
What are Pennsylvania's requirements to qualify for in-state university tuition?
To qualify for in-state tuition in Pennsylvania, students must meet the requirements laid out in Pennsylvania Code –35.29b. Candidates must have resided in the state for at least one year prior to the term's start. Special exemptions may be made for those who do not meet this requirement, but are government employees or dependents of Pennsylvania residents.
Are online credits more affordable in Pennsylvania than other places?
While costs vary from school to school, Pennsylvania tuition rates tend to be higher, on average, than those in other states. In-state tuition tends to cost around $15,000, compared to $16,070 in New Hampshire and $5,220 in Wyoming. When exploring the cost of attendance at online schools in Pennsylvania, it helps to compare per-credit costs against other web-based programs. At $328 per credit hour, Slippery Rock's online tuition rates compare favorably to Arizona State University's online undergraduate tuition, which costs between $520 and $728 per credit hour.
How can I get help paying for online college in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania sponsors several grants administered by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA). PHEAA serves as a portal for students seeking financial aid. While assistance is available for online learners, PHEAA cautions that students earning more than half of their credits through distance education may receive a reduced award.
One major funding opportunity for Pennsylvania students is the Pennsylvania State Grant Program, which provides awards to qualifying state residents each year. Grant amounts vary between candidates, and eligibility is based on both need and academic performance. These grants do not need to be repaid. However, qualifying students must obtain at least half of their course credits through classroom learning.
Some grant and loan programs are intended for Pennsylvania residents who fall into certain demographics. The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts issues grants of up to $20,000 for qualifying students. Undergraduates who previously participated in the state's foster program may also be eligible for a Pennsylvania Chafee Education and Training Grant of up to $3,000. Children of firefighters, police and other public servants may qualify for the Pennsylvania Postsecondary Education Gratuity Program.
In addition to loans and grants, prospective students should explore specialized financial assistance opportunities at their chosen school. The University of Pennsylvania provides information regarding institutional grants and scholarships on the school's financial aid page.
As in most states, Pennsylvania students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to access federal financial aid opportunities. PHEAA directs students to its own FAFSA page, which walks students through the application process. PHEAA also offers assistance for candidates interested in applying to the state grant program.

Texans' Watt looks to build on return from injury in Game 2
By developer
Posted on September 14, 2018 September 23, 2018 by developer
HOUSTON (AP) — J.J. Watt got better as the season opener went on, his first game since breaking his leg last October."Whatever it was, knocking rust off in the first half or just getting back up to speed in a full game, but definitely started to feel more like myself in the second half," Watt said of the loss in New England.After getting through that game, the three-time Defensive Player of the Year is looking to make more of an impact this week when the Texans visit Tennessee.Although the defensive end was confident he'd be OK last Sunday in his first game since Oct. 8, he admitted it was a relief to go for 70 plays on turf and come out feeling good."Felt fine the whole game," he said. "Never thought about it once. I'm very pleased with how it turned out and … with the second half, I started to really begin to find my groove as a player again."It was an encouraging start for a player who not only sat out the last 11 games of 2017 but also missed all but three games in 2016 because of a back problem which required two surgeries. The Texans hope Watt can shake off his last two injured-plagued years and reach the level of Defensive Player of the Year, which he won in 2012, 2014 and 2015. Watt's injuries came after he never missed a game in his first five NFL seasons and twice led the league in sacks.Defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel loved having Watt back and said his presence makes the entire defense better."It's always exciting to see him in the backfield," Crennel said. "It's very helpful because he's a playmaker. When he makes plays it helps the other guys also, because he lifts everybody up."Watt insists that, except for a couple of tough months immediately following surgery, he never lost belief he could return to form. Now it's just a matter of showing everyone that he was right."I've never questioned what I can accomplish, but … it always comes down to going out there and doing it and proving it," he said. "I just have to continue to work and grow. It may not come in the first game, but as long as I continue to do what I need to do and practice the way I need to practice, everything will take care of itself."Watt had two tackles and two hits on Tom Brady in Houston's 27-20 loss to the Patriots. He also came close to getting his first sack since Sept. 18, 2016 before nose tackle D.J. Reader ended up taking down Brady instead for one of his two sacks."We've had a few discussions about it," Watt said. "I'm not going to say my (hand) was on his ankle at the same time or before or anything, but we'll see."Now that he has the first game out of the way, Crennel is looking for Watt to continue his progress and start making the kind of impact he did before his injuries. Houston could use a big game from Watt and the defense to avoid an 0-2 start."I expect him to continue to knock the rust off and get better every week," Crennel said. "That's what I'm expecting. So hopefully that will occur and if it does that will help us."___For more AP NFL coverage: https://apnews.com/tag/NFL and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL

The Human Rights Commission, in its annual review of race relations, identified Māori representation in local government and an effective voice for Māori in the decisions of the new Auckland Council as being among the top ten race relations priorities for 2010.
Unless positive steps are taken, Māori representation in local government will continue to languish well below the proportion of Mäori in the population.
There should be further national discussion on improved provision for Māori representation.
You can read the Māori Representation in Local Government Report here.
Public discussion about Māori representation in local government has been re-ignited by the government decision not to adopt the recommendation of the Royal Commission on Auckland Governance that there should be three councillors representing Māori on the new Auckland Council.
Over a period of two days in April, the Commission conducted individual interviews with the Chair of Environment Bay of Plenty, a number of councillors, council managers and iwi representatives.
Most were positive about the system of Mäori constituencies and felt it had helped the council to better meet its obligations for Māori participation under the Local Government Act 2002.
Some went as far as to say it had transformed the council's relationships with Māori and its way of doing business. Few would want to revert to the previous system.
Quotes from them in this discussion paper are from the interviews conducted. The recommendations, however, are the Commission's alone.
Since the passage of the Local Electoral Amendment Act 2002 all councils have had the option of establishing Mäori constituencies or wards on the same basis as Environment Bay of Plenty, by resolution of the council challengeable by a poll of all voters.
A number of councils have considered the option, but none have taken it up. The Act does not provide for Mäori themselves to determine whether they wish to be represented as Māori.
Since the first draft of this paper the Commission has conducted a survey to establish how many councils have considered the option and what they decided. The results are included in this report.
