Manhunt targets Iraq lawmaker whose plane was turned back
By Tina Susman and Raheem Salman
BAGHDAD —
The jet left Baghdad on Wednesday and had just crossed the ribbon of blue indicating the Euphrates River thousands of feet below when it arced back toward the Iraqi capital.
Upon landing at Baghdad's airport, a security guard boarded the plane and left with a high-profile passenger, parliament member Mohammed Daini. But Daini's whereabouts remains a mystery as the political clamor over allegations of crimes, including murder and gold heists, escalates and threatens to rev up sectarian polarization in parliament.
The plainclothes security guard who escorted Daini, a Sunni Arab politician, off the plane was part of his personal security contingent, as were the security officers who drove away with him shortly before a nationwide manhunt began.
Late Wednesday, Iraqi security force spokesman Maj. Gen. Qassim Atta Moussawi said police were scouring the country and watching the borders for Daini, who faced arrest after fellow lawmakers' vote earlier in the day to lift his parliamentary immunity. The order to turn his flight around came from the prime minister's office, shortly before the vote.
But the lifting of immunity apparently did not come early enough for police to be ready when the Iraqi Airways jet landed in Baghdad. The lawmaker had time to evade what he says is a politically charged indictment being steered by Prime Minister Nouri Maliki's Shiite Muslim-led government.
The strange case erupted Sunday when Moussawi announced that Daini, a frequent critic of Maliki's government and opponent of the U.S. presence in Iraq, was a key suspect in the April 2007 bombing of the national parliament.
At a news conference, Moussawi showed footage of purported confessions by two bodyguards of Daini detailing heinous crimes they said were ordered by the lawmaker: massacres of innocents in his home region, Diyala province; holdups of gold sellers in Baghdad; launchings of mortar rounds into the fortified Green Zone; and the parliament bombing, which killed Sunni lawmaker Mohammed Awad.
Daini responded with a news conference of his own the next day, denying wrongdoing and saying his guards had been forced to confess. "This is an alarm bell" for all opposition lawmakers, Daini said.
He did not answer his phone Wednesday night, but earlier told the Associated Press that he was going to visit relatives in Jordan when his flight was turned back.
One of those on board was fellow lawmaker Maysoon Damluji, who had tea with him and two other national lawmakers at the airport before the flight left about noon.
"While we were flying over the desert, after crossing the Euphrates River, the plane returned back to the airport," Damluji said. She said the jet sat on the runway for about 45 minutes before taking off again for Amman, the Jordanian capital. This time, it got there.
Daini had been associated with Iraq's major Sunni political parties but lately had become an independent in the 275-member body. Ahmed Alwani, a fellow Sunni lawmaker, criticized the way Daini's immunity was lifted and complained that it was not on the agenda and was rushed through. Alwani called it a constitutional violation to order the jet turned around before Daini's immunity was formally lifted.
"I am not defending Daini, but we want the constitution to be applied," said Alwani, adding that there were politicians of various stripes with shady pasts. "We want the law to be applied to all."
Critics of Maliki's government have accused him of using his powers to persecute politicians who cross him.
Last year, the parliament voted to lift the immunity of a secular Sunni Arab lawmaker and government critic, Mithal Alusi, after he visited Israel. Alusi hired a lawyer and won the case, forcing lawmakers to back down. Attempts have also been made to lift the immunity of other prominent Sunni politicians to pursue charges related to sectarian crimes.

Chandler Jones Predicts Huge Year For Kyler Murray 'He's Going To Shock The World!'
SIZE DON'T MATTER
One the best defensive players in the NFL says Kyler Murray is going to KILL it in his rookie season ... 'cause Chandler Jones tells TMZ Sports the QB is "going to shock the world!"
"You'll see," Chandler says.
The Cardinals took the Heisman Trophy winner with the No. 1 overall pick last April ... but some in the NFL world have questions about his future because the guy is just 5'10", 207 pounds.
But, when we got Chandler out at L.A. Live on Wednesday ... he told us he's got NO doubts his new teammate is going to be just fine.
"Size don't matter," Chandler says. "I mean, look at Russell Wilson."
In fact, Chandler says he has no problems with Kyler having the goal of leading the Cards to the Super Bowl this season ... saying, "He's very mature."
"People talk about his speed and how fast he is -- it's not about his speed," Chandler adds ... "He throws accurate balls. He's going to shock the world! You'll see."
By the way ... ya gotta see how our photog's interview with Chandler ended -- it involves a hilarious phone call with the pass rusher's super famous brother, Jon Jones!!!

BEATIN' UP BIG BRO
Chandler Jones would BEAT THE HELL out of his famous UFC brother, Jon Jones ... so says the Arizona Cardinals DE himself, who tells TMZ Sports, "I'll beat Jon Bones' ass!!"
"Listen, he has the longest arms in the UFC," Chandler says ... "My arms are longer than his. That's my brother, I love him to death, but I'll kick his ass!"
The clip is hilarious ... but Chandler seems dead serious -- telling us his older brother would take the first real L of his career if the two really did square up.
And why? Chandler says it's all about his power.
"I would wrestle him. I'm more strong than he is," Chandler says ... "Listen, I'm not trying to brag, but I go against 300-pound men every day. Jon Bones is like, what, 235?"
Jon fights at 6-foot-4, 205 pounds ... while Chandler plays at 6-foot-5, 265 pounds. The tale of the tape is interesting ...
As for Jon's input on the matter, Chandler says even the UFC superstar knows he'd get wrecked in the bro-on-bro fight!!
"Easy work," Chandler says.
BONUS -- Chandler also had some trash talk for Jon's rival, Daniel Cormier ... and thinks he'd be able to beat up Cormier in a fight too!!!!

Brett Hundley Gunning For Cards' Starting QB Job ... Despite Kyler Murray Pick
STILL FIGHTING TO START
Kyler Murray ain't going to have a cakewalk to the Arizona Cardinals' starting QB spot ... so says Brett Hundley, who tells TMZ Sports, "My No. 1 goal is to get that starting job."
"I don't play to be second," Hundley says.
Don't get it twisted ... Brett still respects the hell out of Kyler, saying the Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 overall draft pick is an "unbelievable guy" and a "very good young man."
But, Brett -- who signed with the Cards this offseason after spending the 2018 season as Russell Wilson's backup in Seattle -- says he wants to be Kliff Kingsbury's No. 1 guy in the desert.
"For me, my goal always has been to start, no matter where I'm at, no matter what the position is in," Hundley says ... "You know, I don't play to be second."
The competition will officially kick off in August during training camp ... but, in the meantime, Hundley's been enjoying his offseason with some serious traveling.
SO MUCH LEFT TO SEE
The 26-year-old has been moving all around Israel and Greece this month, and says he's still got trips planned for Egypt and South Africa in the coming weeks.
Brett tells us he's really fallen in love with all the globetrotting ... and says this will be his hobby once his playing days are done.

Kyler Murray Congratulates MLB Draftees ... No, I'm Not Playing Baseball
6/4/2019 7:45 AM PT
Kyler Murray congratulated the guys who had their names called in the MLB Draft by posting a pic of himself in an Oakland Athletics uniform .... and killed all the fun by clarifying he's not playing baseball.
The A's drafted Murray with the 9th overall pick in the 2018 draft ... but after winning the Heisman and going to the Arizona Cardinals with the top pick in the NFL Draft, he decided to put baseball on hold.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Murray posted the pic Monday night in his A's threads ... but made it clear he's not having second thoughts on choosing the NFL.
It's probably a smart decision financially, considering he inked a $35 million deal with the Cards ... but there were people like Joe Theismann who said he shoulda stayed on the diamond.
"Congrats to everyone who got drafted today! #JustAPic #History #NoNeedForTheSpeculation #AllLuv," Murray said.
That's no fun, Kyler. At least give us a day to talk about it.

Chargers' Tre'Von Johnson Choked By Sister Cops Say In Fight Over Laundry
The sister of LA Chargers linebacker Tre'Von Johnson was arrested back in March after cops say she choked the NFL player in a fight over laundry ... TMZ Sports has learned.
According to police documents, Tre'Von and his sister, Tkeyah Johnson, got into a scrap when she wanted to wash her clothes at Tre'Von's Denton County, Texas home ... but he prevented her.
Cops say Tkeyah grabbed Tre'Von by his neck in a rage over not being allowed access to the washing machine ... and when he had trouble breathing -- he pushed her, causing her to fall to the floor.
Cops say marks were visible on Tre'Von ... and when they determined on the scene that Tkeyah was the primary aggressor in the altercation -- they arrested her.
Tkeyah was charged with domestic assault involving choking -- a felony in Texas -- and later posted bond.
Tre'Von has bounced around the NFL since signing with the Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted free agent out of Weber State in 2017 ... playing for the Dallas Cowboys, Seattle Seahawks and Chargers the past 2 years.
The 24-year-old -- who played in 4 games for the Chargers this past season -- has 3 career tackles.

Marco Rubio Stoked For Rosen Best Dolphins QB Since Dan Marino!
ROSEN TO THE RESCUE
Marco Rubio is PUMPED Miami traded for Josh Rosen ... telling TMZ Sports the former Arizona Cardinal is now the best QB the Dolphins have had in TWO DECADES!!!
"He's the most talented passer we've had on the roster since Marino," the Florida Senator says.
Miami unloaded its second-round pick in last week's NFL draft to get JR from Arizona ... and Rubio is ALL FOR IT -- telling us it's basically a win-win for his favorite football team.
And why? Rubio says because Rosen came with such a team-friendly contract ... there's no risk at all for his squad.
"If it works out, great!" Rubio says ... "If it doesn't, we'll have to draft someone next year."
It's been a rough start for Josh's NFL career ... dude completed just 55 percent of his passes and threw just 11 touchdowns to 14 interceptions last season.
But, it seems Rubio thinks Josh will be able to turn it all around in South Beach, saying, "That's a good deal, man!"

Josh Rosen Standing Ovation From Cards Fans After Trade to Miami
Josh Rosen got major love from Cardinals fans one last time before heading off to Miami ... getting a standing ovation at Larry Fitzgerald's celeb softball game just hours after getting traded.
Rosen was traded to the Dolphins on Friday after the Cardinals took Kyler Murray with the top pick in the draft ... but that didn't stop him from supporting his now ex-teammate at his charity home run derby the next night.
Not only did Rosen get a positive send-off from Cards fans, he gave them a show too -- winning the home run derby AND the MVP award from the softball game.

Kurt Warner To Josh Rosen If Cards Draft Kyler ... Prove You're Better!!!
HOF ADVICE
Josh Rosen, listen up ... if the Cardinals DO draft Kyler Murray tonight, Kurt Warner is handing out some sage advice -- JUST PROVE YOU'RE BETTER!!!
"Bottom line is it's just part of it," Warner tells TMZ Sports out in Nashville ... "You gotta go and just prove you're the best guy for the job."
Of course, Arizona drafted Rosen last season thinking he'd be the guy for the franchise's future ... but now, with Kliff Kingsbury at the helm, they're expected to take Murray tonight.
Many have wondered if JR should be upset if the draft pick does go down ... but Warner says Rosen should actually see it as a chance to prove he's the right guy for the job!!!
"I don't think you can ever be offended by a team trying to figure out the best thing for their organization to get better. And your job is to compete."
Josh should take the advice ... Warner bounced around the league for several years -- even after MVP seasons with the Rams -- proving he was a Hall of Fame caliber guy at nearly every stop.
For his part, Warner says Rosen's done a great job of handling it all so far, telling us, "He's going to get an opportunity to play somewhere. Just be ready for that opportunity and continue to shine."

Chris Johnson I Coulda Ran a 3.9 40-Yard Dash ... At NFL Combine!!!
I COULD HAVE BEEN FASTER!
Remember Chris Johnson's EPIC 4.24 40-yard dash at the 2008 NFL Combine???
Yeah, CJ2K tells TMZ Sports he coulda ran it in UNDER 4 seconds!!!
Chris says he came into the annual pre-draft event weighing around 200 pounds ... but says if he had shed 30 or so lbs for the drills -- he would've gotten into the 3s zone on that historic day!!!
"I think [I could have run it]. If I would have went to the combine at 165 ..."
So, why didn't the former NFL superstar do it!?!
"I probably would have dropped," Chris tells us ... "Ain't nobody wanting to draft a first-round running back that weighs 165!"
Yeah, good call.
Chris ended up having a stellar career after his ridiculous 40-yard dash time regardless ... becoming one of only seven players EVER to rush for more than 2,000 yards in one season.
In fact, Johnson tells us he's still got it ... the 33-year-old says if he really trained for it, he could still run a 4.2!!!

Robert Nkemdiche Fired Up Over Kingsbury Hire ... 'I F*cking Love Him'
2/3/2019 12:10 AM PT
WATCH OUT FOR US
Is Kliff Kingsbury the secret to finally getting Robert Nkemdiche to realize his massive potential??
Nkemdiche certainly thinks so ... 'cause the Cardinals' 2016 1st-round pick is absolutely JACKED UP over Arizona's new head coach.
"I f*cking love him," the Cards' D-lineman tells TMZ Sports at Jay Glazer's Merging Vets & Players Super Bowl Party Wednesday night.
"I think we're going to do some great things with him. I can't wait until we start with him. And, I don't care, the Cardinals are coming with some f*cking attitude and fury! And, we're going to come, BANG!"
Neither Bruce Arians nor Steve Wilks could get Nkemdiche to play up to the level that made him one of the top prospects in the country a few years ago ... but seems Robert believes Kliff will.
In fact ... Robert's so confident Kingsbury will pull it out of him and the rest of the team -- he's GUARANTEEING the playoffs for the Cards next season!!!
"We're going to be there. So, just watch out for us. Watch out."

Larry Fitzgerald Praises Kliff Kingsbury But, I'm Not Sure I'm Coming Back
HE'S A GENIUS
Larry Fitzgerald tells TMZ Sports he's excited to meet new Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury -- but there's one slight problem ... he might not be playing for him next season.
The 35-year-old wide receiver will be a free agent in 2019 -- but has said if returns to the NFL, the plan is to remain a Cardinal for life.
Now that AZ is transitioning to a new head coach in Kingsbury, we asked Larry for his thoughts on the situation.
"Hell of a coach," Fitz told us at LAX ... "Look at his resume. He's innovative offensively. That's somebody with a future right now. So, I'm excited for the chance to meet him."
So far, Larry says the two haven't talked -- but they've exchanged text messages.
As far as Larry's career goes -- "I don't know yet. Taking time to figure it out still."
We asked if he had set a deadline for himself to make a decision, but Larry tells us he's not sure yet ... he's taking it day by day.
Fitzgerald had played in the NFL for 15 seasons since being drafted 3rd overall in the 2004 Draft. He's been selected to the Pro Bowl 11 times.
He led the NFL in receptions in 2005 and 2016 ... and in receiving TDs in 2008 and 2009.
Fitzgerald also won the "Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year" in 2016.

USC's Clay Helton Praises Kliff Kingsbury ... 'I'm Happy for Him'
1/8/2019 3:47 PM PT
USC head coach Clay Helton says there's no hard feelings with Kliff Kingsbury for leaving the coaching staff to take an NFL head coaching job ... saying he doesn't blame the guy for jumping ship.
Of course, Kliff -- who was fired from Texas Tech -- signed a contract to become USC's offensive coordinator just last month ... only to back out this week when the Arizona Cardinals expressed interest.
Kliff officially signed with the Cards on Tuesday -- and his short-lived boss, Clay Helton, finally broke his silence about all of the drama that's been going down behind the scenes.
"I am happy for Kliff," Helton said in a statement.
"Any time you get an opportunity to be an NFL head coach, it is special. He is a talented coach, that's why we brought him here. I wish him nothing but the best."
Helton continued ... "USC has always attracted the best coaches in the country from all levels. We will spend the upcoming weeks finding the best possible fit for USC and our program."
Kingsbury reportedly had to pay $150,000 as a buyout for leaving SC ... but the Cardinals are expected to be handling that payment.

Ex-LSU Star Early Doucet Accused of Brutally Attacking Wife ... Again
Early Doucet -- a former superstar LSU wide-receiver-turned-NFL-draft-pick -- was hit with a temporary restraining order in November after allegedly brutalizing his wife for the second time.
TMZ Sports has obtained court docs filed in Louisiana which show the 33-year-old was ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from the alleged victim and her 2 children after an incident in which Doucet allegedly attacked the woman and smashed up their home.
The accuser told officials Doucet physically assaulted her in early November -- causing bloody injuries to her face and chest. She also claims Doucet smashed holes in the door and walls.
Launch Gallery
The judge set a follow-up hearing for December where both sides could tell their side of the story -- but no word yet on if the judge has extended the restraining order.
We do know it's the second time the accuser has gone to authorities with violent allegations against Doucet.
We've also obtained a police report from April 2017 showing Doucet named as the suspect for assaulting the same woman, who he was dating at the time.
Police took photos which show the woman bloodied and bruised and missing a tooth. Cops' photos of Doucet's hands show bloody knuckles.
We've reached out to officials to find out what happened with that case -- so far, no word back.
We've also reached out to Doucet for comment but have not heard back.
Doucet was a key part of the 2007 LSU national championship team. He caught 7 passes for 51 yards and a TD in the BCS title game against Ohio State.
Doucet was later selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the 3rd round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He never really panned out in the pros and was out of the league by 2013.

Rosen was thrown into the game with just minutes remaining -- and while he couldn't pull off a Baker Mayfield and lead his squad to a come-from-behind victory, he's officially been named the starter moving forward.
But there's no bitterness or hostility -- so says Rosen -- who thanked 30-year-old Bradford for being supportive at practice on Monday.
"Since day 1, Sam has had my back and helped me become the best quarterback I could be. I cannot thank him enough for showing me how to be a professional in every sense of the word."
"He is a leader, mentor, and great person. He and Mike Glennon couldn't have been more supportive at a time that I thought might be a bit tense or awkward today."
"I couldn't be more thrilled to be in a QB room with two of the most selfless people I've ever been around as I start my career as a quarterback in the NFL. For that I say thank you."
"With that being said, let's get the valley rockin' AZ!!!!"

CRA survey highlights ambivalent feelings about tax cheats
Tom Spears
The Canada Revenue Agency headquarters in Ottawa.	Sean Kilpatrick / THE CANADIAN PRESS
The people who prepare Canadian tax returns for a living are surprisingly tolerant of tax cheaters and the underground economy, according a survey by the Canada Revenue Agency.
Many think it's fine to for a business to hide its cash income in order to avoid tax, or for people to conceal capital gains.
And fewer than half believe that the government does useful work with tax money.
They have told all this to the CRA, which did a survey of public attitudes toward taxes and to the CRA itself. The survey, released under an access-to-information request, is dated 2017.
CRA says tax preparers include both those who work for individuals and those who prepare tax returns for the companies where they work.
• Not quite three out of five (58 per cent) feel it's serious cheating to be paid in cash and not pay tax on that income. Most of the rest said it's not serious cheating or is not cheating at all.
• Barely half of them (52 per cent) felt it's serious cheating to run a charity that gives inflated tax receipts (for instance issuing a $50 receipt for a $20 donation.)
• And only half felt it is serious cheating to flip a condo and not report making a profit. Under Canadian law this would be reportable as a capital gain.
• Three in five feel that getting a deal in return for paying cash for home repairs is either not serious cheating, or not cheating at all.
• Only 44 per cent of those polled agreed with the statement that "taxes help the government do worthwhile things."
The survey concludes that tax preparers, known at CRA as "tax intermediaries," have a more liberal view of paying cash under the table than people who operate small and medium-sized businesses, called SMEs in the report. It surveyed about 300 people in each category.
"SMEs appear to have a more critical view than tax intermediaries about the underground economy," the report says. For instance, "73 per cent of SMEs and 58 per cent of tax preparers say it is unacceptable for businesses to ask people to pay cash for goods and services in order to avoid paying income tax."
As well, 82 per cent of the business people, but only 63 per cent of tax preparers, "say it's unacceptable for businesses not to declare income received in cash."
None of this means that the people responding to the survey would actually cheat themselves. For once thing, about seven out of 10 in each group believe that cheaters are likely to be caught by CRA.
We asked the Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario about how accountants view ethics. The organization sent a statement: "As the regulator of the accounting profession in this province, CPA Ontario holds CPAs to a high standard and expects our members, as accredited professionals, to adhere to the CPA Code of Professional Conduct and act with integrity when providing advice to their clients. The Code specifically prohibits our members from engaging in any illegal activities.
"CPA Ontario investigates any information about possible professional misconduct involving members. Information that members or firms have engaged in or facilitated illegal tax evasion will be investigated and, where warranted, prosecuted through the disciplinary process of CPA Ontario."
Ian Lee, a professor at Carleton University's Sprott School of Business, says the CRA poll likely does not reflect the reality of the chartered professional accountants who are the majority of people doing complex tax work.
First he said the poll's sample size is too small to be useful.
But he also said accountants work under an ethical regime that is both strict and unforgiving, and there is no wiggle room on obeying tax laws.
"I deal with the accounting firms all the time," he said. "Keep in mind that the CPAs are a self-governing society in Ontario and the other provinces and they have very, very strict codes of conduct. The penalties for bad behaviour are draconian: They lose their licence, like a lawyer being disbarred.
"The moment you lose your licence, you're out of business as an accountant.
"I think it would be a leap to argue (based on the poll results) that a significant number of tax preparers are corrupted."
He also said the size of Canada's underground economy is "very very low" compared to other OECD countries.
But tax preparers aren't the only ones with ambivalent feelings about taxes. The CRA also surveyed more than 1,600 ordinary people in 2018 and found some ethical shakiness in the Canadian psyche. For instance, nearly two-thirds of Canadians (64 per cent) feel it's wrong for businesses to ask for cash in order to hide their income. But only half think it's wrong for a customer to pay cash to skip the tax.
CRA says that most Canadians tell the pollsters that cheating on taxes is morally wrong. But it adds: "That said, they express a skeptical view on how they believe their fellow Canadians would behave when faced with the opportunity to hide cash income."

Time Away From the University
We understand that situations occur that require a student to interrupt their academic plans. To ensure that students have every opportunity to leave the University and have the option to return, it is important that they follow the appropriate steps.
Traditional Undergraduates wishing to interrupt their registration for any reason should contact the Office of Academic Advisement to request a leave of absence. The office will advise them concerning: re-registering at the University once they are ready to return from the leave and transferring of any credits earned at other institutions during the leave. Students should also contact the Office of Financial Aid to discuss any financial implications.
Students looking to return from a leave of absence must contact the Office of Academic Advisement prior to the semester they wish to return to register for classes. Students may take a leave of absence for a maximum of two consecutive semesters.
Students who do not formally request a leave of absence from the University must contact the Office of Academic Advisement in order to re-register at the University. A student who has been away for a period of five years or longer will, upon re-entry, be obligated by the current catalog requirements. The students' transcript will also need to be re-evaluated by the Chair of the Department in order to determine the viability of credit earned towards the major.
Adult-Undergraduate students who take more than 10 years to graduate also need to have courses in their major re-evaluated.
Suspension/Dismissal
Students who fail to reach the academic GPA requirements may be suspended or dismissed from the university through the Academic Standing Committee. Students who are suspended will be required to take a minimum of one to two semesters away from Caldwell and during that time address any issues that are hindering their academic success at the college.
After the lapse of two semesters, a student may request for reinstatement through the university portal. Reinstatement is not automatic. The student's overall record (academic and disciplinary) will be reviewed, as is performance in courses taken elsewhere during his/her suspension from the University.
If reinstated, the student must schedule an appointment with an Academic Recovery Advisor to register for classes and develop an academic support plan. Once reinstated, the student must meet a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA to avoid dismissal at the end of the semester. A student who has been dismissed a second time may not apply for reinstatement.
Students who withdraw from the University must contact the Office of Academic Advisement for an exit interview. Traditional Undergraduates should meet with the Assistant Dean of Advisement and Retention, and Adult Undergraduates should contact their Academic Advisor. All students should contact the Office of Financial Aid to discuss any financial implications.
Students who do not formally request to withdraw from the university must contact the Office of Academic Advisement in order to re-register at the University. A student who has been away for a period of five years or longer will, upon re-entry, be subject to the requirements of the current catalog. The students' transcript will also need to be re-evaluated by the Chair of the Department in order to determine the viability of credit earned towards the major.

Doncaster Sheffield Airport wanted a bespoke building for their Airport Parking facility. But what they didn't want was their customers to experience a small, cold, cramped building as the first port of call at the start of the holiday!
So, Concept designed a five Section 40' x 20' 12m x 6m) Modular Building and incorporated full length windows to help make the building look even more attractive and welcoming to their customers.
After delivery, the client undertook their own internal fit out which was excellent and included a large reception area, offices and toilets facilities. The building was up and running within only 2 weeks from receipt or order - a stroll in the (car) park, so to speak!

Obtala group prepares to expand forestry business in Mozambique
| Mozambique
The Obtala Limited group plans to make use of the closed forestry season in Mozambique to lay the foundations to expand its business and increase productivity of the ongoing operations in the country, the group said in a statement issued on Monday.
The closed season on forest resource exploration imposed by the government of Mozambique from 1 January to 31 March of each year is also being used by the group to carry out maintenance and repair of equipment as well as to plan activities to the end of 2017.
As a result of repairing some equipment, the Mozambican subsidiary of the group made use of the wood that was cut in the fourth quarter of 2016 to produce 1,500 sleepers, which were delivered to customers in February and increased the capacity of its sawmill located in Uape to process an average of 9 cubic metres of wood per day.
The group intends to increase the two concessions that were in operation at the end of 2016 to five operating concessions, and is currently in the process of hiring foremen as well as other staff and equipment, which should reach the site in the second quarter of this year.
The statement also said that a location has been identified for a new sawmill to be built in Nampula, and that construction of buildings and installation of equipment should be completed by the end of 2017, which will add a capacity of about 100 cubic metres per day.
The Obtala group, based in Guernsey, has 10 forest concessions in Mozambique covering an area of 120,000 hectares.
In a statement issued on Tuesday the group announced that it had reached an agreement in principle with Wealth Rank Limited, a Hong Kong-based company, to issue 20 million shares with an issue price of 4 million pounds. (macauhub)

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. When anyone goes online to search for a product or service and they enter a search term into Google (or any other search engine), they are not searching the whole Internet for results. They will get results from the database that the search engine has complied by crawling the Internet and indexing the results according to their complex algorithm. Since 93% of people go online to search for a product or service, showing up on the first page is critical to any company or organization's success in finding new leads and generating business. Sleight's team is a Google Premier partner and part of Google's exclusive Elevator Program.
PPC stands for Pay Per Click. At the top of most search engine results pages are ads of companies that are paying to appear there. These leads are a great way to generate new business if you have enough of a budget to be able to compete. Also known as Google AdWords, pay-per-click gets you on the top of the page today for people searching for your product, service, or practice.
Is it better to do SEO or PPC?
We always equate SEO to an antibiotic and PPC to a pain pill. If you turn on PPC, the phone is going to start ringing right away, just like taking a pain pill usually quickly removes your pain. However, if you stop PPC, those leads will also stop. On the other hand, SEO takes longer to start working (usually at least 6 months to really see real growth), just like an antibiotic takes time to get into your system and resolve the core issue.
Does SEO work for B2B businesses?
SEO is important for all business whether you sell to other businesses or to consumers. Our strategy is different for B2B, but in most cases, people are searching online for your business. Sleight has many other strategies for B2B marketing.
How much should I spend on my PPC?
This is the single most frequently asked question in the paid search department. And the answer is that there is not a single number that we can give you for what your paid search will cost. Every market and industry varies so greatly based on demand and competition that there is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. We always encourage customers to find a budget that works for them and then to let us run the campaign for 30 days. After 30 days we can tell you whether you need to increase or decrease, or even decrease your budget. Sleight is a full-disclosure agency. Many agencies and digital companies do not tell you how much of your budget is going to Google for the AdWords clicks, and how much is going in their pocket. With Sleight, you know exactly how much is being spent on Google and how much is our management fee!
How much does it cost to manage a PPC campaign?
As a Google Premier Agency, our results have been ranked in the top 5% in the nation in our tier. We are confident of the work our team does for our paid search campaigns and we have chosen to be a full-disclosure agency, which means that you pay Google directly for your ads and we charge you a set percentage of your ad spend. There are no hidden fees.
I'm already showing up in the first spot on Google, do I need SEO?
When you perform a search on your computer, your results are often skewed by where you are physically located (in your office) and which sites you have visited in your browser history. Often companies will think they are showing up first in the results due to these skewed results, but when we run a clean search (with a cleared cache or an incognito window) we find that they aren't showing up at all. We offer a free online consultation that will give you an accurate picture of your online presence. There are hundreds of keywords that people could search for your business, and you will not show up first for all of those keywords.

California farmworkers to get new masks under bill on Newsom's desk. Do they want them?
A bill moving through the California legislature would give farmworkers reliable access to a steady stockpile of N95 masks, which protect against exposure to wildfire smoke.  (Bee file photo) JOHN WALKER Fresno Bee file.
By Nadia Lopez
This story is part of the Central Valley News Collaborative — a bilingual, community journalism project funded by the Central Valley Community Foundation and with technology and training support from Microsoft Corp. The collaboration includes The Fresno Bee, Valley Public Radio, Vida en el Valle, Radio Bilingüe and the Institute for Media & Public Trust at Fresno State.
Lorena Moreno spent nearly a decade harvesting crops next to her husband in the Central Valley's fields, bathed in sweat from working in the sweltering heat. In recent years, her husband, who is still laboring in the fields, has also been coming home with symptoms from an increasingly more present hazard — wildfire smoke.
He arrives at their Fresno home wheezing and with his head throbbing, Moreno says. He's often unable to open his itchy, irritated eyes and is congested from inhaling air polluted with poisonous microscopic particles caused by wildfires. It's a troubling set of symptoms that are growing more common among a workforce that already faces many hazards on the job.
That's why some are now pushing for a bill on Gov. Gavin Newsom's desk that would give farmworkers reliable access to a steady stockpile of N95 masks, which protect against exposure to smoke. Many supporters of the legislation, including growers, say it could help ensure that farmworkers are working in safe and healthy environments, even as the state's harvest and wildfire seasons increasingly merge.
But farmworkers like Moreno and her husband say the law is "useless" to them unless it addresses deeper structural problems. Several researchers agree, saying the legislation, though well-intentioned, fails to address the root causes that create the hazardous conditions agricultural workers endure.
Economic necessity compels farmworkers to toil for low wages even during hot, smoky conditions, Moreno said. But masks alone won't help curb those challenges, she said, because workers often don't like wearing them. Wearing a mask in the fields can feel uncomfortable or cause trouble breathing. The masks can also become dirty quickly and are regularly contaminated by pesticides or field dust, she added.
"It's a waste of time, it's a waste of money, it's a waste of resources," the 38-year-old from Chiapas, Mexico, said in Spanish. "For workers like my husband, distributing masks at work isn't going to help their situation. I think we're going down the wrong path."
Introduced by Assemblymember Robert Rivas, D-Hollister, in December of last year, the Farmworker Wildfire Smoke Protections Act, also known as AB 73, would designate agricultural employees as "essential workers" to allow them access to a dedicated supply of N95 masks.
The bill would also require the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, known as Cal/OSHA, to post wildfire safety guidelines for farmworkers on its website. Employers would be required to provide training on these guidelines in "a language readily understandable by employees, taking account their ethnic and cultural backgrounds and education levels," according to the bill.
The state legislature passed the bill last week and sent it to Newsom, who has until Oct. 10 to sign or veto the legislation.
Newsom is considering the bill as the state is in the midst of another intense fire season.
More than two million acres have already burned this year, exposing outdoor workers like farmworkers to ash and smoke. Prolonged exposure to wildfire smoke has been linked to increased rates of chronic heart and respiratory diseases. Without protective equipment like N95 masks, outdoor workers could risk lifelong health complications, according to a 2020 study from the Western Center for Agricultural Health and Safety at UC Davis.
California farmers say wildfire bill is "the first step"
California's $50 billion agricultural industry employs about 800,000 farmworkers across the state, according to UC Berkeley.
Per state guidelines, employers must offer outdoor workers N95 masks for voluntary use if the air quality index for particulate matter 2.5 exceeds 151. Masks become mandatory when AQI exceeds 500, though the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency states anything above 150 is unhealthy for the general population.
The California Farm Bureau supports Rivas' bill, according to Bryan Little, the farm bureau's director of employment policy. In the event of N95 shortages, the legislation could make it easier for employers to comply with state regulations to provide the masks and recommend or require their use, he said.

Ian LeMay, president of the California Fresh Fruit Association, an alliance of farmers, said AB 73 is "the first step" in ensuring that farmworkers have more robust protections as the agriculture industry navigates climate change.
Yet he acknowledged that other challenges remain, as wildfire season and prime harvest months often occur at the same time. While he stressed that employee safety is of "paramount importance," he said farmers can't afford to tell their workers to stop crop-picking during the most vital season of the year.
"We want to be placing our employees in a safe, functional environment because we're dealing with a perishable commodity and we can't get that commodity off the tree or the vine into a box or into a packing shed and ultimately to the consumer without that available workforce," LeMay said. "But the other issue we're dealing with — and it's a high hurdle for us to get over — is that June, July, August, September, October are the primary harvest times for many California commodities."
Farmworkers need more protections, researchers say
Yet some experts say masks don't get to the root of the problem.
Heather Riden, program director at the UC Davis Western Center for Agricultural Health and Safety, acknowledged the economic factors at stake during the harvest season and wildfires. But she said it may not be "feasible" or "realistic" for farmworkers to use masks on a daily basis in heat and smoky conditions.
"I recognize that growers have crops that need to be harvested or planted and workers need to work to be paid," she said in an email to The Bee. "My fear is that regardless of these considerations, farmworkers and other outdoor workers are the ones paying the price with their health."
Dr. Dvera Saxton, a researcher with the California Institute for Rural Studies, said while masks may be a temporary fix for wildfire smoke, the bill proposes piecemeal protections instead of larger, systemic reforms for an industry that employs many workers who are undocumented and lack access to critical healthcare resources.
Instead, Saxton said policy changes directed at climate change could help prevent extreme weather conditions and natural disasters from growing worse, while legislation geared toward guaranteed access to healthcare could help farmworkers access medical services if they develop work-related health problems.
"It's kind of like you're triaging the problem, but you're not really addressing it" she said. "Masks are good, but they only do so much."
"We don't want a law that gives us masks, we want a law that gives us rights," one farmworker said. (Bee file photo) CRAIG KOHLRUSS ckohlruss@fresnobee.com
Initially, the bill would've required Cal/OSHA to send a "wildfire strike team" to investigate employers' compliance with smoke protection requirements at agricultural work sites when air quality standards reach dangerous levels. But the provision has since been removed — a decision Rivas said was made as a "compromise" during the amendment process.
The bill no longer includes an enforcement component.
Still, Rivas is hopeful that, through the bill's educational requirement, farm workers will learn about their rights and how to file a complaint with Cal/OSHA.
"There are a lot of great agricultural companies willing to play by the rules, but there are some that certainly fall short," he told The Bee in an interview last week. "And so those are the circumstances, those are the issues that we need to address. That's why this education component is so critical. It is to ensure that agricultural workers not only have the information as it pertains to personal health and safety, but that they also have the information about their rights and about who they can contact should an issue arise."
But for Moreno and her husband, the protections included in the legislation would offer little relief.
She said masks won't help her husband, who has already developed multiple health problems from years of working in the fields. She says their low wages, documentation status and lack of healthcare prevent them from getting him the help he needs.
"My husband has diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol," she said. "We don't have health insurance. We don't have basic privileges. We don't want a law that gives us masks, we want a law that gives us rights."

Q: Select dropdown onChange and ngModel issue I have a simple Angular 2 component which has a select dropdown having two-way binding with an object property and also a change event bound to a method that manipulates that object.
Here is the component
import {Component} from '@angular/core'

@Component({
 selector: 'my-app',
 providers: [],
 template: `

Hello {{name}}

    <select (change)="save()" [(ngModel)]="testObject.selectVal">
      <option [selected]="testObject.selectVal=='Value 1'">Value 1</option>
      <option [selected]="testObject.selectVal=='Value 2'">Value 2</option>
      <option [selected]="testObject.selectVal=='Value 3'">Value 3</option>
    </select>

`,
directives: []
})
export class App {

 testObject:any;

 constructor() {
   this.name = 'Angular2 (Release Candidate!)'

   this.testObject = {
     selectVal : "Value 2"
   }

 }

 save(){

   alert(this.testObject.selectVal);

 }
}

When i change the select, it should alert the value of the current selected option but instead it always shows the last value of the select dropdown. I have a feeling that there is a race condition going on between the ngModel update and change trigger because i tried putting in a delay before the alert in save method and it seems to work fine.
To demonstrate it better i have setup a demo plnkr here.

A: You don't need
[selected]="testObject.selectVal=='Value 1'"

The item is selected from the value testObject.selectVal passed to select by [(ngModel)]
If testObject.selectVal doesn't contain one of Value 1, Value 2, or Value 3, then use (for string values)
  <option [value]="someVal">Value 1</option>

or other values like object
  <option [ngValue]="someVal">Value 1</option>

A: You can use as alternative since alert event fired first than the ngModelChange

public save(item){
    alert(item);
  }
<select (change)="save(item.value)" #item [(ngModel)]="testObject.selectVal">
      <option [selected]="testObject.selectVal=='Value 1'">Value 1</option>
      <option [selected]="testObject.selectVal=='Value 2'">Value 2</option>
      <option [selected]="testObject.selectVal=='Value 3'">Value 3</option>
    </select>

A: I had the same race condition among the (change) handler and the model binding. Using (ngModelChange) solved it for me (documentation link).
Meaning, in your case:
import {Component} from '@angular/core'

@Component({
 selector: 'my-app',
 providers: [],
 template: `

Hello {{name}}

    <select (ngModelChange)="save()" [(ngModel)]="testObject.selectVal">
      <option [selected]="testObject.selectVal=='Value 1'">Value 1</option>
      <option [selected]="testObject.selectVal=='Value 2'">Value 2</option>
      <option [selected]="testObject.selectVal=='Value 3'">Value 3</option>
    </select>

`,
directives: []
})
export class App {

 testObject:any;

 constructor() {
   this.name = 'Angular2 (Release Candidate!)'

   this.testObject = {
     selectVal : "Value 2"
   }

 }

 save(){

   alert(this.testObject.selectVal);

 }
}

Hope this helps you.

Q: Third person imperative recommendations/suggestions/requests My question is on the grammatical correctness of the following sentence with regard to the form of the verb 'join':

The plan is that the group join the party.

Other sentences that I think represent the same issue (regarding the verbs sing, consider, maintain) are:

I ask that the choir sing at the banquet.
The advice is that the committee consider the alternative.
The advisor recommends that the firm maintain its involvement.

In each of these above sentences I attempt to make a command (do this: join, sing, consider, maintain) but to a third person subject (as though not speaking directly to the group/choir/committee/firm).  Microsoft Word's grammar features suggest correction to me from 'join' to 'joins'.  Is it grammatically incorrect as I have written it?
Basically I am trying to write a proposal in which I implore a recommendation.  I essentially want to say, imperatively, "do this", but more gently/politely or in a more passive tone.  I picked to say "that the group join" because to me it's as though I am saying "that the group will join" or "that the group would join", but I don't want to write that out to avoid being too pushy (saying that it 'will' do as I say) nor too nonpersuasive (telling them that they 'would' do as I say, if they feel like it.. or not.. whatever..).  Nor do I want to say "the plan is that the group joins" because my purpose is to recommend (propose) for the group to carry out the action, in the future.
What's a correct word choice or conjugation here? What's the best tense for the sentence?

A: What you have written is a perfectly correct usage of the subjunctive mood.  It's less common than it used to be, but English speakers should understand it to mean what you want it to mean straight away.
The best thing to do with Word's grammar checker is to turn it off!

A: The tense you are using is called the present subjunctive. It is the exact same form for all persons, and it can be used in both past and present situations. It is identical to the bare infinitive in form. Using the present subjunctive is fine and quite common in a that clause following a verb that expresses a command or request.
Some style guides say it should only be so used if the subject of the main clause has some influence on the outcome of what he wants; that is, it should not be used if you simply wish that something will be done, without encouraging someone else to do it. This rule may be controversial: I often see it used after the verb to wish as well.

Barbara's teacher suggests that she take an introductory course before trying this advanced subject. (Suggesting may influence Barbara's actions.)
The Board recommended that our university invest more in bonds and gold.
? Elisabeth hoped that God grant her this small request. (Hoping does not influence God.)

In any case, this construction is rather formal. Note also that it is more common in America than in England, where should is often used instead:

My lieutenant advised that half the artillery should be positioned behind the hill.

Here are some examples of verbs that often have a that clause with subjunctive or should, from Englishpage.com:

to advise (that)
to ask (that)
to command (that)
to demand (that)
to desire (that)
to insist (that)
to propose (that)
to recommend (that)
to request (that)
to suggest (that)
to urge (that)
It is best (that)
It is crucial (that)
It is desirable (that)
It is essential (that)
It is imperative (that)
It is important (that)
It is recommended (that)
It is urgent (that)
It is vital (that)
It is a good idea (that) (I find this
one and the following one a bit
dubious, because you'd normally use an
infinitive here.)
It is a bad idea (that)

A:
I essentially want to say, imperatively, "do this", but more gently/politely or in a more passive tone.

Well, it's hard to be imperative and passive. In this case, what's wrong with using "should"?

The choir should sing at the banquet.
The advisor thinks the committee should consider the alternatives.
According to the advisor, the firm should maintain its involvement.

And so on. BTW, I agree with Rhodri that you should turn off Word's grammar checker. It's about as helpful as this guy:

It never helps you decide the fine points of style, and never fails to encumber you with help when you don't need it.

Onder de Twee Linden is de naam van een hoeve te Werm, gelegen aan Bovenstraat 19.

In de 17e eeuw werd deze gesticht als vierkantshoeve, maar reeds in de eerste helft van de 19e eeuw was deze teruggebracht tot een L-vormig complex, bestaande uit een poortgebouw en haaks daarop de stallen. Achter in het erf bevindt zich een losstaand woonhuis van omstreeks 1800.

Het bakstenen poortgebouw heeft een duiventil en is afgewerkt met mergelstenen banden en hoekbanden.

Deze hoeve was voorheen eigendom van de familie Brouckmans, die heren van Werm waren.
