Chagos Islands, Edinburgh Fringe
1971 to 2019: Bringing the story of the Chagos Islands to the Fringe
CommonSpace speaks to Nathaniel Brimmer-Beller, writer and director of Chagos 1971
2019, it turns out, was a fateful year to bring a play to the Edinburgh Fringe examining the injustice woven into the history of the Chagos Islands.
In May, the United Nations passed a resolution demanding that the UK return control of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, with has disputed the UK's sovereignty over the archipelago since gaining its independence in 1965. This followed an advisory opinion in February this year by the International Court of Justice at the Hague, which judged British control over the islands as illegal.
Much of the international condemnation the UK has faced over its policy towards the Chagos Islands is rooted in the forced deportation of the islands' entire population between 1967 and 1973 to make way for a joint US-UK military base on Diego Garcia. According to some estimates, between 1,500 and 2000 Chagossians were removed. Since then, the Chagos diaspora has scattered across several countries, forbidden by law from returning to the archipelago, which they can only do so once British rule comes to an end.
Chagos 1971, now coming to the end of its run at this year's Fringe, takes a darkly comic look at the decision-making process in 1970s Westminster which resulted in the Chagossians' deportation. Speaking with CommonSpace, the play's writer and director Nathaniel Brimmer-Beller explains: "This play came about as a result of a course I took back in October, on the end of the British Empire – in that course I learned about the Chagos Archipelago, and could not believe what I was hearing.
"After a night of eagerly researching this topic, I found myself completely shocked, and determined to find out just how British and American officials could have come up with such a decision. I decided to write this play as a fictionalised attempt to explain how the events of April 1971 (and indeed the entire operation) could have happened."

Brimmer-Beller's own shock at the story of the Chagos Islands motivated him to share his newly found awareness: "The show is meant principally as a means of calling attention to this shameful part of British and American history. That 2,000 people were removed from their homes at the whim of these colonial powers is shocking in itself, even more so when one considers it took place from 1966-1973, and even more so when one considers the means they used to achieve that end.
"It all rang so absurd to me, that I realized this message would come across much more effectively if delivered in darkly satirical comedy rather than through staid, didactic tropes of 'serious theatre.'
"That being said, I have made sure the play is not flippant to the Chagossians' suffering or callous with the history itself – 90-95 per cent of what is described onstage is completely true, with only a few reworkings of the actual events for the sake of the hour-long runtime. Everything else, from the dates of the governmental documents to the wording of certain orders to the unthinkably callous methods discussed and employed is lifted directly from the truth, so that audiences will get a real sense of just how unacceptable this story really is."
The play's focus on the British and American characters who concocted the policy of mass-deportation, rather than the Chagossians themselves, was necessary for the story to act as "a direct examination of the types of political players that would allow this sort of treatment to occur," say Brimmer-Beller, "and of two world powers that still do not acknowledge the full extent of their tyranny to this day.
"I hope audiences feel curious to learn more about the Chagossians' side of the story, and can look up the full details, but Chagos 1971 is meant to shine a searing light on how these countries acted in this chapter, and how unbelievable it is these events are known by so few today."

The means by which the US and the UK effected the deportation of the Chagossians – the details too often lost to history – were part of what convinced Brimmer-Beller that it was not enough for an injustice to be recognized, but for the story of that injustice to be told.
"To effectively tell the story, I decided to synthesise this message into a bottle-drama plot focusing on the real and unthinkable decision – spoilers ahead – to round up and kill over 600 dogs as a means of bullying the Chagossians off their land," says Brimmer-Beller. "Yes, in 1971, U.S. Navy officials and British colonial agents caught and executed the islanders' dogs by stuffing them in a container with Jeeps' exhaust fumes running into it, and gassing them to death.
"Like I said, the removal of the people is hard enough to fathom, but this decision puts the story over the line of plausibility into extreme horror. But even this is true. And if this part of the story can be heard by audiences of today, then maybe people will fully realise how sadistically the British and American governments have acted in recent history. Once you hear that story, it is hard to ignore that the Chagossians deserve extensive reparations, and it becomes unconscionable to think so little has been done to atone for any of this."
Asked if recent events such as the UN's ruling influenced the production of Chagos 1971, Brimmer-Beller says: "The idea was very serendipitously placed in front of me when a classmate chose to do a presentation on the expulsion of the Chagossians, and my interest was piqued.
"People are still living in abject poverty as a direct result of being dragged off their island less than fifty years ago; not a single Chagossian is allowed to even set foot on the archipelago, to this day." Chagos 1971 writer-director Nathaniel Brimmer-Beller
"It indeed was a happy coincidence that the story suddenly returned front and center to the headlines. I had written the bulk of the script before that happened! It was an excellent confluence of events, though, as the words 'Chagos' and 'Diego Garcia' are now on more people's minds, though the story may still be slightly murky in their heads.
"Thankfully, we have had big, engaged audiences every day, many of whom seem drawn in specifically so they can learn more about the events – we are so happy to welcome people in and give them details they may have been missing."
Reflecting on the ways in which art can and should deal with political issues and themes, Brimmer-Beller reflects: "I think theatre and art should address political realities wherever possible, but I also find this is done lamentably often in a predictable, self-serious manner that undermines the effect. I would much, much rather to see theatre that engages with important and difficult subject matters in a fun, risky manner than yet another safe, predictable show that gives audiences exactly what they expect from 'issue theatre.'
"Don't get me wrong, many serious pieces of theatre, at the Fringe and elsewhere, are brilliantly clever, but many more seem to assume that if they can just mention certain topics enough times, their messages become profound. I much prefer art that is spiky, witty, and intelligently fun. Not only does this approach make for a much more entertaining experience, it also, I find, draws in much more diverse audiences – people come for the comedy, they come for the entertainment, and they stay for the political subtext.

"I firmly believe people are much more open to engaging with political themes when a show sneaks them in under the radar, meaning one comes out reevaluating these themes in ways they did not expect going in. That is the best form of politically-engaged theatre, I believe – the fun, sharp kind."
Despite the growing international awareness of the plight of the Chagossians, Brimmer-Beller feels that more must be done.
"This is a story that must be taught the world over," he says. "Both as a document of historical mistreatment, and an ongoing plight of thousands that must be addressed. People are still living in abject poverty as a direct result of being dragged off their island less than 50 years ago; not a single Chagossian is allowed to even set foot on the archipelago, to this day.
"The hardest element of this situation is that there is no obvious solution. The Diego Garcia base has totally overtaken that island, and to return the Chagossians there seems unfeasible for many reasons – I would say the British Government needs to introduce an extensive package of reparations for the Chagossians in Britain and around the world. Without some form of acknowledgement and direct form of remunerative apology, the stain of this unconscionable series of events will never be wiped out of Britain's history. We can start by engaging with this story, and spreading the word any way we can."

When Keith Moon took status as troublemakers to next level.
By redazione on	 26 April 2019 Food & Drink
On 30th April 1976 Keith Moon paid nine cab drivers to block off both ends of a New York City street so he could throw the contents of his hotel room out the window. Moon spent a lot of his time in New York, usually staying at the Hotel Navarro.
First out of the window was the record player, disappearing into darkness before shattering as it hit the ground 12 storeys below.
Next came the chairs, a glass-topped table and pictures ripped from the walls. Then the TV, always a highlight, blasting into a thousand pieces like a small bomb.
Before the hotel management realised the contents of their luxury suite were being systematically hurled to destruction, the piece de resistance was being made ready.
A cherry bomb — a high-powered firework — strategically placed inside the toilet bowl in the suite's bathroom was detonated with such violence that it blew the receptacle off the waste pipe.
What happened in a other new hotel was when the noise from Keith's room got particularly excessive one day, the Wilshire management cut off his electricity. Infuriated, Keith responded with a now famous course of action. He moved himself and his furniture out into the hallway, plugged his stereo into the sockets there and sat down in his armchair – naked. It was altogether easier for the hotel to let him return to his room to make a noise than invade everyone else's personal space.
When the band was staying at the hotel during the abortive attempt to record Lifehouse (the follow-up to Tommy that ultimately morphed into Who's Next), Moon was frustrated by his inability to get into the sound engineer's room to hear some of the demos.
Since the rooms were adjoining, Moon simply started carving a hole in the wall with a knife stolen from room service until he eventually loosened a brick and, covered head to toe in dust and looking like an Ealing comedy villain, appeared in the room to retrieve the tapes.
"Keith lived his entire life as a fantasy," says Roger Daltrey. "He was the funniest man I've ever known, but he was also the saddest; I've seen Keith in some terrible times. I saw him at his height, but then I saw him at his lowest. Keith is someone I love deeply, but who was a deeply troubled character.
I think he was possibly autistic, maybe even with a touch of Asperger's. He had an incredible talent but was completely uncontrollable. Not just a little bit uncontrollable, completely uncontrollable. So when it came to the things that he really wanted to do, like becoming an actor, he could do one take and it would be wonderful. But when you're making a film you have to do that ten times and of course every take he did was completely and utterly different. But he was brilliant."

Adam Ondra is one of the most successful and versatile sport climbers of our time. He successfully climbed the most difficult route in the world, now called Silence, and established a new level of difficulty—9c. But is it simply Adam's muscle power and endurance that enables him to conquer the most difficult routes?
Axel Heiberg Island is Canada's seventh largest island and lies north of the Arctic Circle. This rocky landscape crisscrossed by mighty glaciers offers the most spectacular mountain bike terrain. It's no wonder Darren Berrecloth, Carson Storch, Cam Zink, and Tom van Steenbergen can't resist these endless descents.
Anyone who hears Jacques Houot's life story will be surprised at how the 82-year-old has managed to reach this age. There were at least 23 close calls in his life. Somehow, he has always managed to land on his feet and keep going. No mountain bike trail and no ski slope is safe from this Frenchman.
There are times when a mountaineering expedition turns into an absolute nightmare. Fortunately, our two stalwart mountaineers are unaware of what lies ahead of them on this tour. VIACRUXIS is a labour of love—an animated stopmotion film about the obstacles one must face on the mountain.
In 1988, Raimond Dombrovskis began the longest training run of his biathlon career. Accompanied by his dog, Bucis, and a VW Bulli full of equipment, he set out to cover 6,700 kilometers on rollerskis, from Canada to the Mexican border. The gravel roads are bumpy, the leggings are skin tight and adventure awaits.
In July 2016, the paraglider Antoine Girard set off on a three-week hike-and-fl y tour to explore the Karakorum mountains in Pakistan—alone. The Frenchman's attempts to climb the 8,051-meter-high Broad Peak and paraglide back down have failed twice. Now, his hope is that the upwinds will carry him to the summit.


I, for one, was greatly relieved to see Bobby Wagner have a great game last week.
For the last five years, it's been tremendously obvious to most serious fans (and just about every offensive coordinator in the league worth his salt) that the Seahawk defense's strengths are its secondary and its line play against the run. That leaves, generally speaking, the middle of the field on passing downs as the Hawks' weakness.
And it's by design. In Carroll's scheme, if you push the offense to the middle of the field, that's where things are going to get the most chaotic; and when there's chaos and you're on defense, good things are gonna happen. Just look at the Seahawks' Super Bowl win (not to mention the rest of that season).
The last two years, though, have looked a lot more like 2012 than 2013. Team after team has had success exploiting the middle of the field with mismatches on tight ends and running backs in particular, and on occasion a sharp slot receiver.
Part of the responsibility for that defensive lapse, of course, falls on the scheme in general; but part also falls on the safeties, and part falls on the middle linebacker: "defensive QB" Bobby Wagner.
A lot has been said in the media about the play (and lack of play) of Chancellor and McCray. So as a case study of what we hope not to see in the regular season, let's instead take a close look at how Wagner was repeatedly caught out of position in the opening defensive sequences against Kansas City and Minnesota.
1st and 10 at midfield. Wagner drops into pass coverage (see spotlight)… but as you can see, he drops a yard or two deeper than the other linebackers. The pass is completed underneath for a five-yard gain. Wagner gets his only tackle of the series.
2nd and 5. Bobby is late calling the defensive signals and is caught flat-footed as the run play goes up the middle for 11 yards. Bobby just ends up watching the action unfolding downfield.
On 1st down, KC runs Ware again. Bobby takes on his man but doesn't shed the block in time to prevent a nine-yard gain… up the middle.
On 2nd and 1, KC runs Ware again. Bobby has a chance at Ware at the line of scrimmage, but whiffs and Ware picks up 2 yards for the first down.
Touchdown, Ware. While Ware is getting the handoff from Smith. Bobby runs into Shead and gets knocked to his knees… effectively getting taken out of the play by his own guy. Ugh.
So that's the way Seattle's first team opened against Kansas City's first team. Not very auspicious.
The next week against Minnesota was a little better, but only to the degree that the Vikings did not score.
Running play on 1st and 10. Bobby seals the corner (but does not shed the block) and Minnesota settles for 2 yards.
On third and long, Seattle dials up a blitz. Bobby initially gets hung up on the left side, then in a delayed move spins around the right end. If nobody is open, it's a sure sack… but receivers are open, Hill goes untouched and unhurried, and the pass is completed for 18 yards.
Another third and long. Bobby draws the tailback in man-to-man coverage and gets easily screened off from the play inside. By the time he recovers, the ball is well on its way to Asiata and the pass goes for 8 yards and a first down. Bobby makes a sure tackle (his only one of the series again, after giving up the first down)… but you can see a trend developing: how teams are going to create and take advantage of mismatches in the middle of the field. It's like opposing offenses are listening to Brock Huard's chalk talks: "formations, players, plays"… creating one-on-one matchups that their players can win.
On 2nd and 10, a swing pass to the flat. Bobby's patrolling the middle of the field… but nobody is there. The pass picks up five yards.
Finally, on 3rd and 5 the D forces a punt on an incomplete pass. But again… look at Bobby's drop. He's two yards behind the first-down marker, and a good yard deeper than the other linebackers. It's important that Bobby keep things in front of him… but if a receiver comes open in front of Bobby and catches the ball, it's still a first down.
Why am I picking on Wagner?
I'm not. Remember, I started off by saying how pleased I was to see Wagner's great play against Dallas.
But play stands out when there's a contrast, and Wagner's film from the first two weeks illustrates a weakness, and a weakness we can expect to see exploited unless Wagner has a career year. He's generally right about his calls, about diagnosing the plays, and about who's going to get the ball. But he needs to play more instinctively and less conservatively, and he needs to make the defensive calls more quickly so he can keep his eyes on the offensive play rather than his own teammates' backsides.
There's no doubt that Wagner is Pro-bowl caliber; but our linebacking corps is not the cream of the crop the way that our secondary is, or the way our line is against the run. You're only as strong as your weakest link, and if I'm an offensive coordinator, I know what Seattle's weakest link is… and I'm going after it.
And those two series in preseason play show exactly what that can look like.
Now… imagine what it would be like if Wagner gets injured and Brock Coyle is manning the helm.
After four playoff appearances in a row, everyone's paying attention… yet even with all the scrutiny, it seems that there's always some key issue that's getting glossed over. It's the elephant in the locker room, if you will, and gosh darn if I'll let that ride. Join us weekly for a little closer look at our NFC West Champions.
I think I mentioned that it's preseason several times… and that's why I'm just looking at the series where the first team D played against the opposing first team offense.
I'm glad you're not concerned, really. But this column isn't about bright shiny happy thoughts. It's about overlooked details. And I think this is a pretty significant overlooked detail.
Feel free to disagree, of course. After all, what the hell do I know? I've never coached a game in my life. I'm just a columnist.

For the academic year 2020-2021, Ann Weiss is the Scholar-in-Residence at the Bernard Zell School in Chicago, Illinois. This short interview with Ann and Dr. Jeff Ellison, History teacher at Zell, gives a taste of our year-long Photography project, which we started using the photographs and stories in Ann's book, The Last Album: Eyes from the Ashes of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
http://thelastalbum.org/content/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/BernardZell.mp4
The Auschwitz exhibit has been extended at the Museum of Jewish Heritage for 6 more months, until August 30, 2020, because of overwhelming public response.
PLEASE NOTE: Because of COVID and the museum's mandatory closing, now the exhibit AUSCHWITZ – NOT LONG AGO, NOT FAR AWAY will be extended to December 31, 2020.
We are honored to have photos from our collection included in this powerful and deeply affecting exhibition.
ABOUT ANN AND THE LAST ALBUM
In October of 1986, during a tour of Auschwitz, I unexpectedly came upon a locked archive whose contents were to become the inspiration for THE LAST ALBUM: Eyes from the Ashes of Auschwitz-Birkenau. There I discovered over 2000 personal photographs, confiscated from Jews deported in 1943. These were the photos they couldn't leave behind. Millions of photos were brought by millions of people to Nazi slave labor and death camps, but there was a secret Nazi edict to destroy not only the people, but also to destroy the symbols of their memories, i.e. all their personal photos, all their letters and all their drawings. Historians have surmised that, out of all the transports, only the photos from this one transport miraculously survived. How? Why?
As James Young, in his introduction to The Last Album (p.18) has explained,
Ann Weiss' collection of photographs shows us what was lost. Moreover we not only have a record of how the victims would have remembered their own lives, but we now have a visual record of that which constituted the fullness of life itself children playing, lovers strolling the quotidian moments that actually made up life itself.
This website is a companion to my book, traveling photo exhibition and video. Please understand that we are still in the process of organizing new aspects to the site, more historical background, educational components, and of course, adding more photos and the stories behind them. Explore the contents of this site. You can peruse the Media section for highlights and excerpts of television and radio interviews, and as always, I'm interested in your feedback. As I can, I will be adding more material to enhance your understanding, and as more and more of you write to me, I will be adding your suggestions for use, etc.
Currently, we are involved in a funding initiative to make it possible for all these 2000+ remarkable photos to be seen. If you'd like to help with this effort, do please contact me directly at PO Box 1136, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010-7136. Both your time, and your tax-deductible gift are deeply appreciated. You can also reach me by email or on the discussion section of the site, with your thoughts, questions, identifications, and entries for the site.
I have shared these photos and narratives about their owners in many venues–theatres, museums, universities, community centers and schools, settings both ecumenical and secular. These images were the very ones Hitler never wanted you to see. These photos and their stories are emblematic of how these people wanted to remember their lives. Now you and I share a taste (in Yiddish, a tahm) of what they wanted to remember. As Leon Wieseltier writes in his Foreword to my book, "We have been initiated by their deaths into their intimacies. We remember what they wished to remember, and in the memory of their memory, they live."

ANN WEISS
Ann Weiss is the daughter of two survivors from Poland. She has worked as a researcher, writer, documentary filmmaker, librarian and educator. Founder and director of Eyes from the Ashes Educational Foundation, Weiss is an interviewer and analyst for the Transcending Trauma Survival Project at the University of Pennsylvania, and has served on the Second Generation Advisory Committee of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. since its inception.
Ann has a Ph.D. from University of Pennsylvania in Education, Culture and Society, focusing on narratives, life studies and culture of Holocaust survivors. In addition, she holds graduate degrees from The Annenberg School for Communications, where she specialized in visual and political communication, and also from Drexel University where she specialized in research techniques, as well as library service to adults, young adults and children. Her BA is from University of Rochester, where she majored in English and got certified to teach–as virtually every other English major also did at the time! Though she never stayed in one classroom, Ann has taught classes in schools and universities all over the country — and beyond, as well. Her goal is clear, though not so simple–to open minds, and in the process, open hearts.
In her Annenberg research, she investigated the impact of Holocaust images on public and private school students. In 1994, she introduced new research "Imagining the Unimaginable: Archival Photos from Auschwitz" at a conference in Berlin, co-sponsored by Humbolt and Oxford Universities, titled "Remembering for the Future." In 1989, she premiered her documentary film, Eyes from the Ashes, in Jerusalem.
"An old man rushed up to the podium when I finished my speech in Israel. He pointed to one of the photos, a beautiful image of a bride and a groom, and said "I danced at this wedding!" At that moment, though I had believed that bringing these photos to Jerusalem had completed my work, I realized that, in reality, it had only begun. From that day until this day, I still search for names and stories, and most of all, people, who might belong to the photographs. In fact, just recently, on the night of the book's premiere in Philadelphia, a man stood up and recognized his teacher! The story continues, and continues."
"Each time a discovery is made, I feel as if, in a sense, a life has been reclaimed. Although I know it is not like restoring the dead to the living, I do know that each identification is important. The Nazis wanted their victims to be dehumanized— dead and dehumanized. They took away their names, replacing them with numbers. They destroyed their personal photos so that we could not see their faces. Not only did the Nazis destroy their lives, but they even tried to destroy the memory of their lives. With these photos, they can be remembered as people, not bodies, and in this sense, they live."

Premier League Tottenham Hotspur
3 EPL players that would perfectly fill Erik Lamela's position in the Spurs team
Apr 3, 2017 Football Weeks, Gyfil Sigurdsson, James Rodriguez, Mauricio Pochettino, Riyad Mahrez
Liverpool does not have to worry about qualifying for the Champions League as their hard work has made their qualification inevitable. One of the most linked star to the Anfield is on the verge of being hijacked by Tottenham Hotspur's manager Mauricio Pochettino as he is keen or bringing in new additions to empower the squad for the European game next season. Pochettino's top priority is to increase the depth of the attack squad for the upcoming game.
The manager will be disappointed with playmaker Erik Lamela, who got injured during their 2-1 EFL Cup loss to Liverpool on October 25 and set to miss the rest of the season and this would leave Pochettino scouting for another option to replace the 25-year old if he would not be able to play next season. Here are three players that would bring balance and pace to Spurs attacking options next season:
James Rodriguez (Real Madrid):
Rodriguez has drawn the attention of many clubs with the likes of Bayern Munich, Liverpool and PSG in hot pursuit of him. Pochettino's hope of landing the Colombian lies solely on an offer of a regular spot on the first team. He could command a fee of about £60m in the coming transfer window. Finding the perfect replacement for Lamela will be a bit difficult as there are few players who can live up to his standard but Rodriguez have been a prolific goal-scorer better than most of the Spurs team members excluding Harry Kane. He will without a doubt bring more vitality to the team.
Gyfil Sigurdsson (Swansea):
Gylfi Sigurdsson
Though not as good an option as the Real Madrid Star, Sigurdson is one of the players who could be moving out of Swansea, who are just few points shy of the relegation zone. If Swansea should lose the relegation battle, Pochettino will be able to get a hold of the Icelandic midfielder this summer. His contract with the Welsh outfit expires in 2020 but his asking price is placed at £20. He has found the net 9 times and set up 11 goals this season. He would be a great addition to the Spurs.
Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City):
Mahrez's consistency has dropped recently but he still has a record of 9 goals and 6 assists across all competition this season for the Foxes. The 26-year old, who was named the PFA player of the year last season, still has a contract with the King Power outfit valid till 2020. He has been continuously linked with a move out of the club and could come at a price higher than £30m. His time at Leicester will have added to his experience and this would be of advantage to the Spurs.

Approximately over a 1000 people lose their vision due to diabetes every year in the UK. Good control slows down the changes that damage the body and prompt treatment can help preserve your vision.
Diabetic eye disease is called diabetic retinopathy. It can affect the eyes in three ways.
Firstly, early changes are called Background Diabetic Retinopathy where the blood vessels are affected by early changes and form small haemorrhages.
Secondly, the vessels can get leaky with swelling or water logging of the central part of your retina called the macula and is termed as Diabetic Maculopathy. This may affect your vision making it blurry causing difficulty with reading.
Lastly, the small blood vessels can get blocked due to the diabetic changes causing deprivation of oxygen in the retina leading to the production of new vessels which can bleed resulting in loss of vision. This is termed as Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy. The common symptoms of an early bleed are floaters.
Diabetes is commonly associated with Cataracts which can also make the vision blurry.
Diabetic maculopathy and proliferative retinopathy have traditionally been treated with laser in the past. With the use of intravitreal injections like Lucentis, Eylea, Avastin, Triamcinolone, Ozurdex and Illuvien, complications such as Diabetic Maculopathy and Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy can be successfully treated early, thereby minimising the loss of vision. Some treatments are not available on the NHS and hence the decision to go ahead with private treatment may be beneficial for preserving your vision.
Ms Sandhu is Moorfields trained with a Fellowship in Medical Retina and a specialist research interest in Diabetic Retinopathy.
Ms Sandhu is one of the few cataract surgeons specialising in diabetic cataracts as management of diabetic eye disease is absolutely essential before cataract surgery with careful monitoring afterwards for obtaining the best visual results.

America's Best States to Live In
By Thomas C. Frohlich, Michael B. Sauter and Samuel Stebbins	November 29, 2016 6:00 am EDT
35. Missouri
> 10-yr. population growth: 8.0% (16th lowest)
> Oct. unemployment rate: 5.1% (19th highest)
> Poverty rate: 14.8% (21st highest)
> Life expectancy at birth: 77.1 years (11th lowest)
Homeownership is a practical way for many to increase their personal wealth, and consequently their quality of life. The typical home in Missouri costs about $147,800, about $46,700 less than the typical American home. Low real estate taxes in the state make homeownership especially affordable. Partially as a result, the state's 66% homeownership rate is slightly higher than the 63% corresponding national rate. In addition to real estate, goods and services in general cost about 10.6% less in Missouri than they do on average nationwide.
Still, Missouri lags behind the nation as a whole in several important measures. The state's 77.1 year life expectancy is about 1.5 years below the average U.S. life expectancy. Violent and property crime are more common in the state than they are nationwide as well.
34. Michigan
> 10-yr. population growth: 0.6% (the lowest)
> Oct. unemployment rate: 4.7% (24th lowest)
> Poverty rate: 15.8% (15th highest)
Much of Michigan has suffered economically over the last few decades from deindustrialization and the decline of American auto manufacturing. Population growth in Michigan was the lowest in the country over the last 10 years at only 0.6%, a likely consequence of poor long-term economic conditions. Meanwhile, the U.S. population has swelled by 11.5% since 2005.
The median income in Michigan is about $4,700 less than the nationwide median income of $55,775 a year. Additionally, the state's 15.8% poverty rate is more than one percentage point above the national poverty rate.

33. Texas
> 10-yr. population growth: 23.3% (3rd highest)
> Life expectancy at birth: 78.1 years (21st lowest)
Home to roughly 27.5 million people, Texas is one of the largest states in the country. Though socioeconomic measures vary considerably from one region to another in the state, Texas as a whole performs slightly worse than the nation in terms of life expectancy, crime rates, and poverty.
Certain socioeconomic measures are closely tied to educational attainment rates, and many of the lagging measures in the Lone Star State would likely improve if a larger share of adults completed high school and college. Only 82.4% of adults in Texas have a high school diploma, the second smallest share of any state. Similarly, only 28.4% have earned a bachelor's degree, lower than the comparable 30.6% share of American adults with a similar level of education.
32. Arizona
> 10-yr. population growth: 17.1% (10th highest)
> Poverty rate: 17.4% (8th highest)
> Life expectancy at birth: 79.3 years (15th highest)
Income is closely tied to overall well-being as it often shapes the choices people have and make that are related to health care, diet, and overall lifestyle. In Arizona, many people have limited options, as 17.4% of state residents live in poverty, a larger share than the 14.7% national poverty rate. Health care options in particular are further limited for the roughly one in 10 state residents without health insurance. Despite these shortcomings, life expectancy in the Grand Canyon State is nearly a year greater than it is across the country as a whole.
31. Idaho
> 10-yr. population growth: 18.6% (8th highest)
> Life expectancy at birth: 79.0 years (21st highest)
Idaho's population surge of 18.6% over the last decade is one of the largest population spikes of any state. The influx may be attributable to some of the state's economic advantages. A relatively inexpensive state, goods and services are about 6.6% less expensive in Idaho than they are on average across the country. Additionally, the state's 3.8% unemployment rate is nearly the lowest in the country.
Populations with higher educational attainment are better equipped to weather economic downturns and more likely to raise healthy, prosperous families. While Idaho ranks relatively well in many other categories, people in the state are less likely to have a four-year college degree than Americans nationwide. Only 26.0% of adults in the state have a bachelor's degree compared to 30.6% of Americans.

Lil Wayne's Lawsuit Against Universal Music Group, Alleging Some of Their (Old) New Talent Profits Are His, Has Reportedly Been Put on Hold
By Sean Fitz-Gerald and Karen Brill

Update, August 3: Lil Wayne's lawsuit against Universal Music Group has reportedly been put on hold until his other lawsuit, the one against Birdman over Cash Money (the man's got axes to grind), is sorted. According to the Jasmine Brand, because of the similarity between cases, the outcome of the Cash Money suit is expected to affect the situation with UMG, so a federal judge ruled that the latter is not to go forward until the former is resolved. Bottom line: If you're one of those unfortunate souls waiting eagerly for Tha Carter V, it's a good thing you're getting really good at the virtue of patience, because the Cash Money mess is expected to potentially drag on for another year.
Our original post from March 29 appears below.
Lil Wayne and his legal team filed a federal lawsuit against Universal Music and SoundExchange over unpaid profits, according to THR. The complaint claimed Wayne hadn't been compensated for finding and fostering such big-name artists as Nicki Minaj, Drake, and Tyga via Young Money — millions of dollars of royalties Wayne signed for more than a decade ago have instead gone back to Universal to pay off alleged Cash Money debt. "Universal should be grateful and respectful to Lil Wayne for the millions of dollars in distribution fees and profits they have earned on the artists he brought to the company," Wayne's attorney told the trade. In the suit, the rapper's attorneys asked for at least $40 million back, because they believe he's not responsible for Cash Money's problems.
Wayne's Young Money offshoot is a joint venture tied to Universal's Cash Money, but new talent profits were supposed to be split 51/49 between Cash and him, respectively. The suit noted, however, that "Universal has claimed a right to 100 percent of the label performance royalties attributed to [Young Money]." As a result, Wayne's side said SoundExchange, a nonprofit that deals in digital royalties, hadn't paid, either.
Aside from damages, the Young Money founder and CEO wants this battle, which comes not long after last year's Cash Money drama, to yield a court "judgment declaring the parties' respective rights with regard to [his] share of label performance royalties." In response, a Universal spokesperson told Rolling Stone that the claims "are entirely without merit," and that the distributor doesn't "intend to dignify this with further public comment, except to say that we will vigorously contest it and that the merits of our case will carry the day."

Colinton has a history as an autonomous town or parish since before the 11th century but was incorporated into the city of Edinburgh in 1920. It was a mill town, utilising the nearby Water of Leith to power mills producing textiles, snuff and paper. It is believed that the first bank notes printed by the Bank of Scotland were printed on paper produced in a Colinton mill. Its close proximity to the Pentland hills and their many reservoirs could explain its inclusion in this volume of 'Photographs of Edinburgh Reservoirs'.

Productive teamwork is essential to the success of an organisation. The truth of this has long been recognised in many organisations and in the last few years Starfish has worked with many teams to help them improve their performance.
We work with clients in partnership so that we see the final design of any intervention as a joint project owned by both parties. We take a systematic approach helping teams clearly understand their current situation and identify the key issues they face before establishing what they aspire to. The next step is to plan the strategic actions they need to identify to move from where they are to where they would like to be before planning how to implement them. In this way, by designing tailor made events to meet specific needs, we can help teams make step changes in their performance.
In our experience it is best to work with teams at different levels; at the organisational, group and individual level; at the level of task, process and feelings; and at the level of business strategy and personal behaviour. This inclusive approach ensures a longer-term impact on individual and organisational performance.

How to Invest with Confidence
Financial Technology & Automated Investing
Investing Investing Essentials
What is a Rocket Scientist
Rocket scientist is a term coined by traditional traders for a person with a math and statistical research background doing quantitative work in investing and finance. The term dates to the 1970's and was used tongue-in-cheek when Wall Street firms began employing researchers without finance or trading backgrounds to use computers to conduct extensive quantitative research alongside traditional securities analysts.
BREAKING DOWN Rocket Scientist
Wall Street expanded its reliance on these specialists — typically referred to as "quants" — as finance and trading became heavily automated and access to big data increased. While quantitative research can be applied to any style of investing, i.e., growth or value, its application in the securities industry has expanded along with the rise of factor investing. Initially thought of as a separate approach to investing that would help reduce human emotion in decision making, quantitative methods are now used across the industry and included within, as opposed to separately from, most investment strategies.
Quantitative Analysis is Now the Norm
An early example of the use of rocket scientists in asset management would be when a successful trader wanted to quantify her investment ideas and test the potential effectiveness of a strategy going forward. Having traditionally selected value stocks, for example, based on a fundamental strategy, a manager might hire a Ph.D. with a background in theoretical physics to create a model that tests the contribution to returns of hundreds or thousands of factors and correlations over long periods of time in multiple market scenarios. As the quant builds complex models for the backtesting of the manager's strategy, she also learns the investment business, potentially evolving from rocket scientist to securities analyst and portfolio manager.
In recent decades quants have been integral to the development of synthetic products and derivatives including swaps. The models used by robo advisors to create investment portfolios and provide advice are also based on quantitative financial research. The extent to which quantitative and factor investing may contribute to potential market volatility when bypassing the checks and balances of human decision making remains a topic of intense debate.
How Serial Correlations Apply to Stock Movements
Serial correlation is the relationship between a variable and a lagged version of itself over various time intervals. It is often used by financial analysts to determine how well the past price of a security predicts the future price.
Is a Bespoke CDO a Good Fit for Your Portfolio?
A bespoke CDO is a structured financial product—specifically, a collateralized debt obligation (CDO)—that a dealer creates and customizes for a specific group of investors, who then buy a tranche (portion) of it. Nowadays, it's often known as a bespoke tranche opportunity.
Upper Management Definition
Executives and other leaders – collectively known as upper management – hold the primary decision-making power in a company.
What Is Organizational Behavior (OB)?
Organizational behavior is the study of the way people interact within groups. Its principles are used in attempts to make businesses operate more effectively.
When Model Risk Occurs in Finance
Model risk occurs when a financial model used to measure a firm's market risks or value transactions fails or performs inadequately.
Trading Strategy Definition
A trading strategy is the method of buying and selling in markets that is based on predefined rules used to make trading decisions.

Rev. Valerie Peyton Kingsbury ( B.A, M.Div) BA Memorial University of Newfoundland, MDiv Atlantic School of Theology.
Valerie grew up in a home where the love of music, particularly church music, was encouraged and nurtured. Many hours were spent around the family organ singing the great hymns of the faith. By the age of 10 her mother had begun to teach her how to play the organ. She went on to learn piano and later the guitar which has become her instrument of choice. While in school she also took theory and voice and throughout the years has sung in a variety of choirs.
As Minister of worship and liturgy Valerie came to understand the importance of music as a way to express faith and proclaim the gospel. In 2011 she entered ministry with First United Church in Truro, Nova Scotia, and formed a partnership with Christopher (Chris) Bowman. Together they have combined their energy and talent to create liturgical resources and hymns that reflect an evolving Christianity. In May of 2015 they published their first song book "Singing Faith Today" and in June established Tidal Bore Music. Their second song book "Beyond The Darkness" and the CD of the same was published in April of 2016. The complete collection is available on their website, www.tidalboremusic.ca.
Valerie's passion for the written word has also given birth to her books "Creating Spaces for Healing and Hope" , "Soul Songs" and her weekly Blog , "A Journey of Faith". The latest book, Worship Ready, a collection of worship services is a liturgical resource for worship leaders published in September 2016.
Christopher (Chris) enjoys making music in many forms – as a conductor, solo and choral singer, educator, and composer. He is full-time Minister of Music at First United Church in Truro, Nova Scotia, and Artistic Director of the Cantabile Society of Truro, where he conducts the Cantabile Singers and co-conducts the Cantabile Boys' Choir. He also sings with the Juno-nominated Canadian Chamber Choir and takes great delight in the fact that choral music has given him the opportunity to sing in every Canadian province. Chris is active as a baritone soloist; his debut CD "Over Hill and Valley" with pianist David Chafe won Music NS and Music NL awards, and was nominated for an East Coast Music Award.
Chris loves working with choral singers of all ages and stages and has conducted community, church, school, and university choirs in Atlantic Canada and Ontario. He is sought after as a clinician, adjudicator, and lecturer, and has taught in various university music departments in Atlantic Canada as a sessional instructor. As time permits, he is a composer/arranger of choral music, and in recent years has become interested in hymn writing; along with Valerie Peyton Kingsbury they have formed Tidal Bore Music to further this venture – their music can be found at www.tidalboremusic.ca.
Chris and his wife Laura are incredibly proud parents of Erica and Meredith, and live in Valley, Nova Scotia.

Train / Railway
Tuesday, May 7, 2019 Updated
The massive railway network centered on Japan Railways (JR) is developed throughout the Japanese archipelago, linking Honshu with Shikoku, Kyushu and Hokkaido by bridges and tunnels. Major cities are connected with Shinkansen (bullet trains) and limited express trains, and rail track networks within metropolises such as electric trains, subways, monorails and streetcars operate every few minutes. Japan boasts a highly frequent and punctual railway system although crowded and train schedules tend slightly fall behind during the rush hour. Station renovations to make them barrier free are being carried out. Some stations have many shops inside their buildings.
Many railways in rural areas are single track, with some lines taking more than one hour between trains. Some scenic mountainous railways entertain tourists by running steam locomotives. Boxed lunches distinctive to each area called Ekiben are sold at stations in all corners of the country, attracting attention for their uniqueness.
The railway is an extremely important transportation method for the everyday lives of Japanese people, at the same time, it continues to seize hearts of thousands and millions of railway fans nationwide motivating them to film trains and create railway models.
During your vacation with Japan Deluxe Tours, you may use Japan's train system to navigate your way around Tokyo with your small group tour. Learn more about Japan's punctual transportation system & information about one of the best train-systems in the world!
As a high density country, Japan's advanced mass transportation systems, especially trains and subways, are necessities for the Japanese society. Rail networks have been developed all over Japan. JR group, Japan Railways group, operates almost 70% of domestic railway networks. They have published the Japan Rail Pass which helps foreign visitors travel around Japan economically.
Subway (Chikatetsu)
Almost each major city populated with over one million has a subway system called Chikatetsu. Tokyo subway is the most highly used transit system in the world. Tokyo Metro and Toei Chikatetsu combined carried 3, 161 billion passengers in 2010 and ranked No.1 in the world.
Japan has an efficient, safe and cost-effective system of city subways, allowing rapid movement around its inner urban areas.
Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Sendai, Sapporo, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe and Fukuoka have city subway networks, linked to other rail systems including the JR Yamanote Line in Tokyo, the JR Loop Line in Osaka and JR shinkansen lines.
Automated Ticketing System - Subway (Chikatetsu)
Passengers can pass quickly through the automatic ticket gates simply by lightly touching their Suica pass to the sensors on the gates. Suica stands for Super Urban Intelligent CArd and it certainly is. Nowadays, Suica use is not limited to train and subway rides but they can also be used on vending machines in the JR stations and even at many convenient stores such as 7-Eleven and Family Mart outside of the station.
Tokyo Metro - Subway (Chikatetsu)
Tokyo's subway system is one of the largest and busiest in the world. There are 13 lines, 8 operated by Tokyo Metro or TRTA (Teito Rapid Transit Authority) -formerly Eidan Subway - and 4 lines managed by Toei Subway run by Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Each line has a distinct color and number and each station also has a number.
Tokyo Metro operated lines are:
Chiyoda Line, Fukutoshin Line, Hanzomon Line, Hibiya Line, Marunouchi Line, Nanboku Line, Tozai Line and Yurakucho Line.
Toei Subway operated lines are:
Asakusa Line, Mita Line, Oedo Line, Shinjuku Line.
*Toei also operates a streetcar, the Arakawa Line between Minowabashi and Waseda.
Ticket prices for the subway in Tokyo start at 160 yen, but if you are spending any time in Tokyo it would be wise to invest in a PASMO or SUICA rechargeable card to ease connections between the two systems and save on the wait for buying tickets.

India's worsening water crisis poses a threat to the asset quality of the country's fragile banking sector at a time when lenders are still dealing with their massive bad loan burden, reports The Hindu.
Around 600 million Indians, particularly those in the rural areas, grapple with an acute water shortage due to the lack of sustainable water development, according to data from a government think tank Niti Aayog which warned that 21 cities are expected to run out of groundwater by 2020.
The report warned that the country's water-related problems can easily seep into the recovering banking sector as nearly 40% of Indian banks' gross credit exposure are located in sectors where water risks are significant, according to a report released by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and Indian Banks' Association.
Water risks could spill over to weigh in on the asset quality of the power and agriculture sectors - the two industries that account for the highest gross credit exposure of India's banks. Distressed loans in the power sector are estimated at $26.4b (INR1.8t) to account for around 15% of the banking sector's total stressed debt, according to a report from Credit Suisse.
"Reeling under a crisis of non-performing loans with close to 10% of gross-advances of the Indian banks facing a risk of non-payment from debtors, these risks can place further liquidity constraints on the already stressed balance sheets of banks in India," the report's authors said.
India's bad debt burden is the second largest in the world and trails only behind of Italy at 11.6%. The volume of soured loans stagnating at India's banks hit a record $141b (INR9.5t ) in 2017 and the recovery rate for defaulted loans in India is also dismally low at 26%.

Arabian Warrior Zuhayr Al Qahtani signs with MTK Global
in Boxing News
MTK Global are proud and excited to announce the signing of unbeaten Saudi Arabian lightweight, Zuhayr Al Qahtani.
The latest addition to MTK Global's ever-growing stable highlights the company's desire to expand into new markets and develop the sweet science in regions with huge potential but little boxing tradition.
Born and raised in the Red Sea city of Jeddah, Zuhayr moved to south London in his early teens and was soon representing the famed Fitzroy Lodge ABC. In a successful amateur career with David Haye's old club, Al Qahtani won several national novice titles as well as the London ABAs. His final amateur record reads 50 wins and 5 losses, or as Zuhayr tells it, "50 wins and 5 robberies!"
Describing his style as a combination of Naseem Hamed, Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquiao, Zuhayr was always destined for the professional ranks and after turning over last year he has quickly compiled a flawless 3 and 0 record.
Now known as 'ZZZ or 'Triple Zee', the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's sole pro fighter has signed with MTK Global in order to take his career to the next level.
"I am so happy to have signed with MTK and can't wait to continue my boxing journey with them," says Zuhayr. "As soon as I spoke with them I knew they were the team for me. Everything they said was music to my ears in terms of bringing me along in my career, challenging for titles as soon as possible, and helping make me a big name in the sport."
MTK Global Director of International Operations Paul Gibson is just as excited about teaming up with Al Qahtani:
"We are delighted to have Zuhayr on board. He's a talented and charismatic fighter with an excellent amateur pedigree so I expect to see him challenging for an area title by the end of the year. And when he told me he was the only pro-Saudi boxer and I listened to how proud he is of his roots, it was immediately clear that we are the management team for him."
The global reach of MTK and the company's connections in the Middle East was a key reason for Zuhayr jumping at the chance to join them.
"Saudis are a very spiritual, proud and passionate race – just like Emiratis and other people from that part of the world. We really get behind the few athletes we produce that make it onto a global stage and I believe I can be one of those athletes. I got so excited talking to MTK when it was clear they share those dreams. I truly believe they can make me a star and together we'll grow the sport of boxing in the Middle East."
Gibson couldn't agree more:
"Our plan is to have Zuhayr fight in his home country and also in the United Arab Emirates. There is so much untapped potential in that part of the world and we believe that MTK Global can play a big role in realizing that potential. Zuhayr will be the first, but many more champions will follow. Boxing will grow in popularity on the back of that success and somewhere like Dubai could soon become the Las Vegas of the Middle East for fight fans."

When asked if they were aware of WhatsApp for Business, a separate app that Facebook introduced for small business owners, these entrepreneurs say they were not yet aware of it.
Have internet, will find ways to do business. This seems to be the motto, and the right one it must be said, in Indian villages where people are now using the internet to find new ways to do and grow business. The initial spark, the first contact with the tech for many of these people, came from Google, which in partnership with Tata Trust, is offering Internet Saathi programme in hundreds of Indian villages. The programme has introduced many villagers to smartphones, tablets, and 3G connectivity. It has also helped them discover WhatsApp, Facebook and Amazon. While rest of the world uses these services for good morning messages, in several Indian villages people use them as tools to grow business.
Take for example Laxmi Bagdi from Ajmer, Rajasthan. Talking on behalf of his mother Laxmi, Anand Bagdi, says that the Internet has helped grow their handicraft business. He is still studying in a college but at the same time, he also runs his handicrafts business from a phone. He was taught to use a phone and introduced to the internet by his sister and mother who's a member of Google's Internet Saathi programme. Anand gets most of the ideas for handicrafts products from the internet and then uses WhatsApp as a medium for taking orders. "I've been working for the past one and half years at my local shop. But recently I started using WhatsApp for taking orders and payments through Paytm and Netbanking. Business has improved a lot," said Anand.
Now, Anand is working to build his own website so that he can reach out to an even bigger consumer base. Anand says that ever since he moved the business online there has been a massive increase in profit. "From the time I started taking orders via WhatsApp my business has seen a growth of around 30 per cent, which was unexpected," he added. "By taking the business online, I've started getting orders from other states as well, which wasn't the case when it was limited to an offline shop."
Like Anand, Rohini Sandeep Sethi from Patan, Maharashtra, is another entrepreneur who is used internet diligently. She has used apps and internet to expand her honey business.
Rohini is in honey business -- her brand is called Forest Honey -- since the last five years, but it is only after she became a part of the Google Internet Saathi programme that she learnt how she can use internet to conduct her business. "In the first three years of my business there was no profit, I started gaining profit only after internet taught me the importance of labelling and marketing a product," Rohini said.
In the future, Rohini plans to sell Forest Honey on Amazon to cater to more consumers. She already has a Facebook page, where she documents how Forest Honey is packaged and produced, and she also uses WhatsApp to take orders. "Google, Facebook and WhatsApp have changed the way I do business. By using internet I get new ideas on how to make my product attractive to the buyers. It also teaches me the importance of marketing," Rohini said.
These are just two examples, there are many such entrepreneurs from rural India who have just been introduced to internet and are now using the platform to expand their small business by reaching out to more consumers. Most of these entrepreneurs educate themselves with the help of Google and grow their business with the help of WhatsApp and Facebook.
For now though, WhatsApp is popular but not WhatsApp for Business. When asked if they were aware of WhatsApp for Business, a separate app that Facebook introduced for small business owners, these entrepreneurs say they were not yet aware of it. And they were not particularly looking forward to it. For now they are very happy with the way the standard WhatsApp app is helping them expand their business.

The CJV NATIONAL teams will provide an opportunity for girls ages 12-18 to try out for very competitive volleyball teams in North and South Charlotte. National teams will practice 2-3 times each week and compete in 8-10 tournaments on weekends outside the Charlotte area and usually outside of North Carolina.
View Our CJV Team Program Chart For A Comparison Of All CJV Team Programs.
View Our Volleyball Club - Scoresheet To Compare CJV To Other Clubs.
View Our CJV Tryout Guide To Assist You During the Tryout Process.
The National Level Team Programs at Carolina Juniors Volleyball are designed to offer an opportunity for volleyball players in the greater Charlotte area to reach their full potential and to prepare for the next level of play. CJV provides a program of intensive skill and strategic volleyball training in a safe, positive environment. The experience will teach the values of teamwork, discipline, responsibility, motivation, and self-esteem.
Most National teams will practice and play in tournaments from November - June. Teams qualifying for end of season tournaments may choose to play into July.
CJV's goal for our National Level Teams are to have 1-3 teams at each age group for each location. These National teams will be made up of the best players from all over Charlotte and the surrounding cities. Charlotte teams will practice at the CJV Volleyball Centers in South Charlotte (Sports Connection-Granite Street) AND in North Charlotte (Sports Connection-Northlake). The South National teams and North National teams will practice primarily at their home locations.
The CJV Playing Ages are based on the USAV established Playing Ages. Players should try out for their age group. Coaches may move players and combine age groups as needed. The goal is 10-11 players per Elite & National teams and 10-11 players per Semi-National & Regional teams.
Pre-registration is required for all National Program Team Tryouts.
All tryouts will take place at the South (Granite Street) location. We will still be forming multiple North teams, however, holding tryouts at a central location will provide our coaches and staff a better opportunity to run a fair tryout. There is a $20 (before September 12) or $35 (after September 12) for all National Level team tryouts. All tryout participants must be pre-registered. All players will receive a CJV/Under Armour shirt to wear at tryouts and to keep. Sign up for all levels you're interested in participating in. The levels you choose will not affect the coach's evaluations the day of tryouts. You will be placed on the most competitive level possible for your skill set.
We understand that some players may have to miss part or all of one day of tryouts due to other commitments. Players should come to each night of tryouts if they are able. Tryouts can prove to be a stressful time for parents and players, in an effort for each participant to have the best tryout possible, our tryouts will be closed to all spectators.
Each of the National teams will have 1 Head Coach and 1 Assistant Coach. Visit the COACHES page to see details on our incredibly talented and successful coaching staff. Visit the TEAMS page to see all Teams and Coaches. Coaching assignments may change based on the number and level of girls at tryouts and the total number of teams formed.
**NOTE: The coaching assignment listed above are for both North and South locations.
After tryouts are completed, all players making a team will be notified and have an option to accept the invitation to play with CJV. No club may force you to commit to their program until the Carolina Region "signing date", however, you may voluntarily commit prior to this date. When selected for a team you will have 24 hours to pay 1/3 of your team fee. To withdraw from being selected for a National Level team, please submit your request IN WRITING prior to the end of the second tryout.
National teams will practice 2-3 times per week. National teams may practice at the Sports Connection-Granite Street AND the Sports Connection-Northlake CJV Volleyball Centers, but will primarily practice at their home location. Click on TEAMS for more specific practice information once you are selected to a team. Practices could be any day of the week from 4:00 - 10:00 PM. Practices could be on any weekend from 8:00 AM - 10:00 PM. More information on practices will be available at tryouts.
A Tournament Schedule will be posted on the Team's page when available. All National teams will play in 8-10 USAV or AAU tournaments throughout the season. Tournaments will be decided on by the coach with input from the CJV club and parents and players. The tentative schedules will be available at tryouts and the estimated team fee will be available at tryouts as well. Each team will have the option to try and qualify for the USAV or AAU National Championships. The cost to enter the USAV National Championships and the coaches expenses are already budgeted for in the CJV National Fee. If teams and coaches choose not to attend Nationals, or if the team fails to qualify for Nationals, a refund will be issued at the end of the season to each girl.
Carolina Juniors sponsors many local area tournaments. We feel it's beneficial to both players and parents when teams are able to play at quaility tournaments in their hometown. CJV offers a variety of tournaments throughout the year. Check out our Tournament Page for more information.
Playing time in tournaments is totally at the coaches' discretion at the National team level.
Carolina Juniors has a long success record of graduating our youth athletes to the collegiate volleyball level. We have an in-house recruitment coordinator and we also utilize SportsRecruits for our online recruting platform. For more information on college recruiting, check out our Player Resources tab. For more information about the SportsRecruits program, click here.
CJV is associated with the training program called Gold Medal Squared. Coaches and CJV Staff are trained on Gold Medal Squared techiniques and skill development through various coach development sessions as well as through our Master Coach Practice Module enforced throughout the season. For more information on Gold Medal Squared, click here.
The National team fee is determined by how many and which tournaments your coach chooses for the team to attend. Total fees range from $1995 - $3295 per girl, with 1/3 of the team fee due within 24 hours of when teams are posted. The second payment would be due by January 5 and the final payment by February 2. Additional payment plans are available upon request.
The National team fee Includes: Tournament Entry Fees, Practices, Coaches Salaries and Expenses for Practices and All Tournaments, Equipment (Volleyballs, Courts, Nets, Practice Equipment, etc.), Overhead (Administration, Websites, Insurance, Credit Cards, Accounting, Staff), etc.
Additional costs include: Uniforms*, USAV Membership ($45-55/player), Sports Connection Registration Fee of $25 (annual), Individual Player's Travel Expenses, Possible Extra Tournaments and Other Optional Team Expenses. Some teams may choose to do fundraisers during the season.
*All uniforms this season will be decided on and ordered at the team meetings. A representative will be present at the team meeting with a run of uniform sizes for players to view.


curious which lake is better bass fishing burt / mullet.. i have cruised the chain of lakes from crooked to lake huron but never fished.. still trying to decide if i want to fish BFL.
Mullet gets the most publicity and puts up the numbers too, but Burt can also be really good...Most guys will be racing around Mullet during the BFL tournament.
I have to agree with Blake, Mullet will get alot of attention, but you may find the ability to cover more water on Burt. Should be an interesting year for the BFL.
I've always liked Mullett better because bass in Burt Lake seem a little too smart for me. There are probably bigger overall bass in Burt, but probably more numerous in Mullett. Tournaments have been won on both lakes depending on pressure and wind, which can funnel oddly through those valleys.
You can get out to Lake Huron, but it's a looonnnnggg trip and the little I've been out there has only made me go back into Burt and Mullett.
Mullett may seem easier to figure out, but those big bass on Burt keep calling the big bass experts back.
That Burt/Mullet one looks interesting, how small does burt/mullet fish in a 200 boat tournament during the spawn? Never fished there, I've seen some big bodies of water fish real small during the spawn. I'd love to fish that lake in a big tournament just worried that it will just be a boat race, I may fish this event just to encourage to BFL to travel. I wonder how many guys are fishing BFL this year, hopefully the schedule will bring the numbers back up.
I think that the burt/mullet BFL will get a max of 125 boats, but probably more like 75 or 100 with the increased competition with the BASS series. But even at 100 boats the lakes could fish small and depending on how many people sore lip the bass during practice it could be a tough tourney. I'm sure there will be plenty of people pulling a David Dudley whether they have a late starting number or not. You definitely better have 15-20 good(4-5lb) fish picked out and gps'd by blast off and don't waste too much time trying to force a bite. And if your fish are the shallow ones - you can bet that two dozen other fisherman have marked those fish as well - so concentrate on the deepest beds you can find.
My guess is that the winning weight will not even come from Burt or Mullet and most likely it will come from Lk Huron and possibly a long run on the big lake. What do you guys think?
I plan on making the move up to the bfls this year and i am very excited. Burt & Mullet will be interesting i dont know if the long run to huron is worth it. Its got to be at least an hour to a hour and a half run and the locks can only fit 4 or 5 boats max. I'v waited in lines for the locks for hours before on saturdays in june. Theirs alot of water to cover up there and alot of jumbo smallies too. Good luck to all , i'll see ya there.
From the Indian River to Lake Huron and back is a 5 hour trip if things go farely smooth. I've never done that well in Duncan Bay and the smallies out there bed super shallow - just right to be creamed every year by wading anglers coming out from the State Park.
I don't like Les Cheneaux (made that run from the other direction once - once was enough) although there are two or maybe three spots that hold big bass if they have warm water by then. I'd have no idea otherwise out there so I'll stick to Burt and Mullett.
They don't fish as small as other 'big' lakes especially if conditions are good for a big spawn and there are plenty of small schools of bass that wander out there if you can trip over one (that's all it takes sometimes). I don't know about the status of running to Crooked and Pickerel. I've never done it in a tournament and heard Crooked River is all no-wake now.
The BFL won't need a permit since they are going out of a private ramp. The 'sheriff' over in that county has supposedly raised his hackles before about "needing a separate permit" for Crooked and Pickerel, but the sheriff isn't directly involved in the tournament permit anymore and should only be enforcing boating laws, not where tournament angler can and can't fish. Hopefully a non-issue in reality, but I don't know if BFL has considered those two lakes.
If someone does run to Lake Huron and win, then congratulations, but the federation has been won with big weights in the past few trips all out of Burt or Mullett and maybe never won out of Lake Huron despite rumors. Heck, I've had some guys tell me I won the federation in 2000 out of Huron because they saw me there on Friday. Well, I was actually in the boat on tournament day and we weren't in Huron.
I think it will be like any northern spawning tournament. Some anglers will LOVE it and some will NOT. I won't be sure which group I'll be in until I get up there and see what the bass are doing, but I do love those lakes. Too many great memories and fishing days out there to not love them... so I should at least have a good attitude regardless of whether 100 boats or 150 boats show up.
My main concern for now is like Matt's, I want to encourage them and anglers to give the alternative options a try, despite the distance, and help make the event a positive success for as many anglers as possible (not guaranteeing a limit for everyone - but at least smooth as possible in and out at the ramp and weigh-in).
I'll probobly be there, right now the top bass on houghton may be the only thing that keeps me away. I thought it would be close to a full field because of the awesome fishing, sounds like that may not be the case.
got to believe there boat count will be down this year with the weekend bassmaster series and now i see CATT has scheduled there first event the same day as St-Clair June 24. going to have lots of choices next year.
I'm thinking participation will be higher than last year, which was a low since FLW Outdoors went to the BFL variation.
I don't expect 200 boats up at Mullett because of the distance. I think more guys will like the new lake and the talk of the great fishing than not. I expect a big turnout, but it is hard to say if big will be 120 boats or 170+.
The biggest openers have always been on St. Clair on the opening weekend. I actually think having that event coming up as the follow-up will make the Mullett Lake event more attractive to anglers.
I wonder if the indiana guys will travel up there, the last few BFL's I fished had a lot of indiana guys. There won't be many everstart guys either, it's a long drive from Kentucky lake. That St. Clair BFL will be a busy day on st. clair, I just saw CATT is having there open that day.
That would be good... hopefully for both circuits.
Is it possible to get to Black Lake through Black river? This Mullet/Burt tournament has got quite a few options. I've never fished Pickeral or Crooked either. Are these lakes legitimate targets? Although the boat ride to Huron would take 5 hrs of your fishing time give or take there has got to be a lot of possibilites out there. haven't had chance to look at the shoreline of huron yet that far north but i'm itching now big time. time to start doing some homework. How many days are you guys planning on prefishing? In a perfect world i'd love to have a least 5 days. One for each lake. or maybe 6 if black is accessible? Wow, i have got to get up there and start snooping around. Best of Luck to everybody, should be quite a time!
Black is not accessible - dams in the way.
To get to Lake Huron, you have to go through a lock, but in the summer in the past, it has been consistent. I would confirm this season though since the MDNR runs it and there budget is TIGHT.
You can get to Crooked and Pickerel - that takes a while too. Used to be able to run parts of the Crooked River, but I heard they made it all no-wake no too long ago. (I haven't made that run in many years - I launch on Crooked to fish it and have always stayed in Burt or Mullett to fish.) Crooked and Pickerel both have good fish in them too. I'll have to confirm the no-wake situation this year on the Crooked River. I'll post it here once I confirm it (it will be a while). Tournaments have been won by guys running there (at least once for sure).
I have only fished around Cheboygan and Duncan Bay out in Huron. It is VERY treacherous along shore to the West.
I hope to practice 3 or 4 days for that one.
Thanks Dan.....Your information is very appreciated. If I fish this year(depending on whether my wife let's me buy a modest priced boat) I will be checking out Pickeral and Crooked as well. I will probably spend at least 1-2 days on huron as well, snooping around and seeing if I cant mark some big brown bass. It sounds as though burt or mullet has put up some crazy numbers. With that I couldn't possibly not spend an ample amount of time snooping those lakes as well. What do you guys think will be a competitive bag for this tourney. from what Ive seen in the past 20 pounds is no longer a gaurantee for a decent finish. I'm assuming if guys play there cards right we may be seeing 25-30 pound bags. Quite a fishery!
i plan on getting there tuesday and spending alot of time on the water, i'd like to have a few back up plans.i think it will take at least 23 pounds to see the top ten from what i've seen of the fishery, but what do i know, hope to see ya there.
Being an individuals event, I think top ten my be 19 and above. Depends on if the big girls on near beds, or still marauding in groups, and how many beds get hit hard before the actual event starts. These lakes have an incredible number of 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 pound bass.
Now, if we do hit the main spawn on the head, the weights could go up a little since there are quite a few 5+ pounders in there right now too.

Q: group and count objects of array and create new array I am using reactJS and have an dynamic array of object from an response which looks like the following:
[{ year: 2016, origin: "EN", type: "new" }, { year: 2016, origin: "EN", type: "old" }, { year: 2016, origin: "EN", type: "used" }, { year: 2016, origin: "EN", type: "new" }, { year: 2016, origin: "EN", type: "broken" }, { year: 2016, origin: "EN", type: "used" } ]

The dynamic array can have to up to many different types but I have only 3 colors to use in my dashboard (ok, warning, critical). Its not a problem if the color is used multiple times!
I would like to create a new array for my dashboard to group and count my response and merge it with the colors to get the following result:
[{ name: "new", value: 2, color: 'ok' }, { name: "old", value: 1, color: 'warning' }, { name: "broken", value: 1, color: 'critical' }, { name: "used", value: 2, color: 'ok' }]

So, first of all I need to group them, count the objects in the groups, select an color and then create a new array.
(Note: I would not like to use extra javascript libraries like LINQ.js )
Could yo help me please?

A: You can use reduce to group the arrays into an object. Use Object.values to convert the object into an array.
You can define the colors on an object using the type as the key.

let arr = [{ year: 2016, origin: "EN", type: "new" }, { year: 2016, origin: "EN", type: "old" }, { year: 2016, origin: "EN", type: "used" }, { year: 2016, origin: "EN", type: "new" }, { year: 2016, origin: "EN", type: "broken" }, { year: 2016, origin: "EN", type: "used" } ]
let colors = {'new' : 'ok', 'old' : 'warning', 'broken' : 'critical', 'used' : 'ok'}

let result = Object.values(arr.reduce((c, {type}) => {
  c[type] = c[type] || {name: type,value: 0,color: colors[type]};
  c[type].value++;
  return c;
}, {}))

console.log(result);

Choosing the colors randomly:

let arr = [{ year: 2016, origin: "EN", type: "new" }, { year: 2016, origin: "EN", type: "old" }, { year: 2016, origin: "EN", type: "used" }, { year: 2016, origin: "EN", type: "new" }, { year: 2016, origin: "EN", type: "broken" }, { year: 2016, origin: "EN", type: "used" } ]
let colors = ['ok', 'warning', 'critical'];

let result = Object.values(arr.reduce((c, {type}) => {
  c[type] = c[type] || {name: type,value: 0,color: colors[Math.floor(Math.random() * colors.length)]};
  c[type].value++;
  return c;
}, {}))

console.log(result);

Had fun with Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies on the 3DS? Get your gavel out again because Capcom has announced that Level-5 will be bringing the original Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney games to the 3DS. The trio of titles originally released on the Game Boy Advance and were subsequently ported over to the DS so this will mark their third release.
According to Famitsu, all three games will be part of a compilation titled Ace Attorney 123: Wright Selection and will release for the 3DS on April 17th. Interestingly, though no Western release has been announced, there is an English option for players. Odd? Sure. But it at least means that if localization does eventually happen, it won't take very long.
Despite their age, all three games were critically acclaimed. Will you be picking up the collection for 3DS? Let us know in the comments below. Feel free to pepper them with plenty of "Objection!" shouts.
