Cleveland Indians baseball team to remove 'racist' Chief Wahoo logo from kit
The logo will no longer be used next season
The Cleveland Indians baseball team has announced it will remove the "Chief Wahoo" logo from its kit next year, after it was criticised for being a racist Native American caricature.
The character has red skin, a feather on its head and bears its teeth, according to Reuters.
Co-founder of the American Indian Movement, Clyde Bellecourt, had slammed the caricature as the "ugliest" of mascots based on the Native Americans.
The baseball team has been discussing the matter with Major League Baseball for around a year.
The logo was first used in 1947 and many fans had called for it to stay in place, but Paul Dolan, the owner of the team said "I'm ultimately in agreement with Commissioner Manfred's desire to remove the logo from our uniforms in 2019."
The Mayor of Cleveland has also said he applauds the team for showing "the city, nation and world that Cleveland is an inclusive place that values all diversity."
However the image is still going to be used on merchandise for sale in Ohio and Arizona where the baseball team trains.
A statement from the team said this would allow control of the trademark and means fans can still have their "connection" with the caricature.
It added that a new logo could be created but, for the time being, a capital C will be the main branding.
It is thought the move could cause other American sports team to make similar decisions on other images accused of being offensive.

The Week in Black and White
Capitalism, Coronavirus, and the Privatization of the Mind
Posted on June 19, 2020 October 10, 2020 by Michael Joseph Roberto
I still have many excellent books from my study of European history as a young man and the doctorate I eventually completed at Boston College much later in life. Some of them came up in a conversation the other night with Scott Van Doren, one of my BC mentors during the 1970s and today a trusted and dear friend.
As historians, we talked about similarities and differences between the crisis of the Later Middle Ages during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries that laid bare much of Western and Central Europe, and the one we are now experiencing. We agreed that both should be understood as structural and irreversible crises resulting from the decline and decay of existing modes of production and social relations, but also seedbeds for something qualitatively different. In the case of medieval Europe, crisis brought the transition from feudalism to capitalism. Scott's own lifelong journey into the history of a single province in southern France, working through dusty documents lodged in provincial and municipal archives that exposed him to a disease actually called "historians lung," only affirms the grander treatments of more famous colleagues.
We also agreed that a comparison of the two crises provides compelling lessons in the present. The crisis of European feudalism was at root one of subsistence and survival. Population had surpassed agricultural production and food supply due to crop failures, changing weather patterns, and infectious diseases in cattle and sheep; in other words, economic collapse spurred by environmental distress. Consequently, what historians call The Great Famine of 1315-1322 took a heavy toll on humans and left survivors malnourished and more vulnerable to disease. When the Black Death struck in 1347, it killed 30 million people, a third of the European population, in only three years. (Bear in mind that bubonic plague first spread from flea bites carried on rattus rattus, the black rat, and then became pneumonic and thus deadlier.)
Depopulation relieved pressure on the soil as agricultural production declined precipitously. Marginal lands put into cultivation needed for larger crops were abandoned. Fewer people meant rising wages, which landlords fought to contain. From all this the late fourteenth century became a moment of widespread unrest and sporadic uprisings in the countryside, the most significant being The Peasants' Revolt in England during the summer of 1381. Added to the turmoil was the distress of wartime taxation caused by the so-called Hundred Years' War between England and France (1337-1458), which further sapped the vitality of an already reeling peasantry. A general crisis indeed!
But within the ruins of feudalism was the genesis of capitalism, a system based on the private ownership of property. Out went agricultural production based on large estates owned by a class of nobles and the institution of serfdom which had bound peasant producers to the land. Free wage labor, simple possession of land and in some places peasant ownership took root, especially in England where we find the genesis of capitalist property relations and the famed yeoman farmer. Similar developments appeared in northern France and eastward into present day Belgium and Holland and across what is now Germany. Where capitalist enterprise was the most advanced, political unrest took the form of urban rebellions and warfare between rival factions of great merchant and banking families. We have the history of the Italian city-states in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries to see how early capitalist rivalries spurred war between competing urban elites and periodic rebellions by those below them who made up a nascent European working class.
Capitalist modernization in Europe, which had extended to North America and the rest of the world by the end of the nineteenth century, also created a modern culture. Among its paradigmatic features was an emphasis on the individual. Just as capitalism swept aside all vestiges of the old feudal order, so did modern ideas of freedom and democracy replace those of subordination and obeisance to religious and political authority characteristic of medieval culture. In like manner, capitalist modernization brought forth the principle of representative democracy in world-historical terms. The French Revolution of 1789 made clear to the rest of the world that all were entitled to liberty and freedom of choice. Such ideas became the cornerstones of representative democracy. Government by consent of the people became foundational to modern liberalism, the concept of private property a basic tenet of capitalist political economy.
By comparison, our crisis bears parallels to its medieval predecessor but with key differences. In late medieval Europe, the collapse of feudal production set conditions for a devastating plague that ripped apart the fabric of medieval European society, and then chaos, violence, and revolutionary developments, all marking the genesis of capitalist production and relations. For us the Second Great Depression, of which COVID-19 can be viewed as both a catalyst and the most immediate, primary cause, has brought a structural and irreversible crisis of American capitalism long in the making to its most acute stage. Since the 1970s, capitalist exploitation, political subjugation, racism, sexism, unprecedented polarization of wealth and poverty, rampant consumerism fueling out-of-control indebtedness, state-sponsored terrorism at home and abroad, a culture devoid of aesthetic dimensions once consciously cultivated in earlier times of prosperity, the certainty of an ecological nightmare that could eventually make COVID-19 seem a prelude to what is left of human history – all this is now upon us.
Both crises were the outcome of protracted developments that in medieval Europe culminated in a crisis of class rule. A similar occurrence here and now is plausible. Then, the ruling class of feudal lords, some kings, and their layers of vassals – all landowners, gave way to a new ruling class of merchants and bankers many of whom also were large landowners. This is what we call the bourgeoisie. Now, the American bourgeoisie sitting atop the pyramid of capitalist wealth, the Wall Street titans who own Amazon and Facebook as well as the diversified giants who singularly make up the military-industrial complex, face fundamental contradictions that threaten its own class rule. What we called the 1 percent a decade ago fears most is the self-realization of the working class.
Today, America's bourgeoisie and its servants in government and the media can probably fit in Yankee Stadium, as one study showed a few years ago. It is probably even smaller and more concentrated now. And make no mistake. They're not all Republicans. So in the midst of a pandemic, economic collapse and a rising, indeed revolutionary surge by African Americans throughout the country committed to the end of white supremacy, we are nearing the boiling point on all major fronts.
This prompts us to ask each other in a kind of collective neurotic bubble: What if Trump wins? What if he loses and refuses to leave? Or maybe he loses and leaves while screaming all the way out the door of the White House that the election was a fraud, an attack on everything held sacred, thus goading his rabid followers into a fight to save America from fellow Americans. What does this sound like to you?
Then again, what if Joe Biden doesn't pick an African-American woman to be his running mate? Will black and brown people, young folk of all colors who have been galvanized in recent weeks in protest against white supremacy and who have demonstrated that real power in America is in the street, vote for two white Democrats in November? Will they even bother voting? What kind of election will it be if two white supremacists, one a fascist, the other a Great White Pretender promising reform in an effort to return to so-called normalcy, are our only choices? Jeez, just the thought of it is sickening given the videotaped police murders of black men and women we've recently witnessed. But we shall see.
So why all this stuff about historical comparisons? Does history even matter?
For one thing, factually based history is good food for thought. Despite profound differences between the fourteenth century crisis and ours, we should examine the past from the standpoint of the present to help us navigate these difficult, highly personal, and increasingly painful moments, taking time to think, analyze, and reflect on what's swirling around us – and then act! For one thing, our medieval predecessors were victimized by a subsistence crisis that made life and death immediate and paramount, then worse from disease, chaos, and the conflicts that followed. Still, what emerged in the centuries to come under capitalism were revolutionary changes that took the world from subsistence to abundance, all while sweeping away the old order and reducing its vestiges to anachronisms in fulfillment of modernity and its promise of steady and uninterrupted progress. Capitalism was surely an advance over feudalism because it ended subsistence and made possible mass production to create things essential for human survival, needs, and desires.
Indeed, the history of capitalism is one of progress but all of it based on contradiction and paradox. Capitalist progress is contradictory because it works primarily for the owners of capital and those who serve its interests. It is a system based on the fundamental and irreparable divide between capital and labor. For the capitalist, economic growth for the singular purpose of profit requires that it be gained exponentially and always at the expense of labor power and wages. This is especially true since the end of the nineteenth century, which historians call the epoch of monopoly-finance capitalism, whereby the magnitude of capital accumulation must advance at greater and greater levels leading to the total control and ownership of government and all institutions that make up what we call civil society. Thus in our times we behold the spectacle of a handful of oligarchs owning and controlling most of the wealth in the United States, while the vast majority sinks into deprivation and the fear of impoverishment and destitution.
Herein we find paradox. Stunning achievements in the ways we make things characterize the contemporary global experience in America. But unlike fourteenth century peasants, who starved and died because there wasn't enough food, most working Americans are sinking into greater poverty amid a wondrous spectacle of commodities that most cannot afford without credit and debt, whether of things or of services they actually produce or construct themselves. Growing poverty in an ever-expanding sea of plenty defines all progress under capitalism. Moreover, we are not medieval peasants bound to the soil but free to determine our destinies, individually and collectively.
Undoubtedly, this is a revolutionary moment in America. But the counterrevolution is much stronger because it has turned fascist. Such is the moribund state of Late Capitalism that can only bring greater conflict and destruction among and between us. Remarkably or so it seems, we continue to rely on the gurus working for capitalist elites who tell us what is happening and why and what we should expect but never what we really need to know and do. American fascism breeds on the capacity of the ruling capitalist class to feed on the anarchy it perpetuates below it, consciously serving its own ends, which is the defense of the profit system at all costs.
This is why COVID-19 is the perfect disease to fuel the resurgence of fascism in the United States and much of the rest of the capitalist world. Here, the disaster of economic collapse made worse by Trump & Co.'s handling of the pandemic only demonstrates the simple and cruel truth that the crisis is benefiting the very people who were responsible for it and before the coming of COVID-19 sealed the deal and created what is quickly becoming a full-blown depression. The rich are getting richer and fewer in numbers as the poor become poorer and constitute an even greater multitude of people left behind.
Yet, despite the moribund state of monopoly-finance capitalism that has taken us further toward fascism as the result of a pandemic, the magical spell of capitalist propaganda continues to promote false consciousness among our people that only serves to advance the myriad powers of capital itself. We know that advertising and public relations motivated by deception and manipulation has long driven consumers to buy what they do not need, colonizing our minds on the basis of capitalist imperatives and thus owning them in the same way they own things. Just as capitalists privatize space and time in the production of commodities, so they seek to privatize our minds by bending them to their wishes. The outcome is moronic thought and action that motivates privatized individuals to decide that it is their right to do whatever they want in the name of liberty, freedom, and democracy. Talk about mass psychosis!
Here's what I see daily in Greensboro and which a top official said is now a coronavirus hot spot in the making. An alarming number of people refuse to wear masks and for a variety of reasons but all seemingly based on personal preference. Social scientists will soon be discerning trends and creating categories of differentiation. I can't wait to read this stuff. Nevertheless, it is clear that the sizable element of the unmasked in our city cannot be reduced to Republican and White. No way. Many black people aren't wearing masks and for different reasons. We have educated young people of all colors who don't think they need them, just like the 16 students who decided to get together over drinks and then all become infected. Denial of reality about COVID-19 runs across the social order and reflects the anarchy that now has us spinning. Where are we going with this?
Meanwhile, the coronavirus numbers keep rising in Greensboro and Guilford County which, I am told, lead the current surge of the disease in North Carolina. As of my last check on statistics two days ago, there were 46,855 lab-confirmed cases, 1,168 deaths, and 846 currently hospitalized. The number tested out of a population of 10.5 million remains miserably low at 667,422. This was the same day CNN reported a record high for COVID-19 hospitalizations in North Carolina, the highest number since May 16, when 86 percent of the hospitals in the state were finally reporting daily numbers to the state health department. What about the rest, I wondered? CNN also stated that North Carolina averaged about 1,240 new cases per day over the last week, an increase of about 20 percent for the previous seven-day period. A week ago, Chris Cuomo interviewed Mandy Cohen, the director of the state's department of health and human services, on his late night show. Cohen put a positive public relations spin on matters, before telling Cuomo that North Carolinians must learn how to live with a certain amount of comfort with COVID-19. Thanks a bunch, Mandy.
Meanwhile, so many people I see in my own limited trips for groceries and medical appointments go about their business without masks, not caring a damn about anyone but themselves, primarily because they believe they have the right to do whatever they want and whenever they want. They are like addicts, really. But this is much more than addiction to drugs or alcohol or codependency or whatever other pap being generated by pop psychology in its now utterly degraded form. It is instead mainly about a culture of narcissism long in the making and now a cardinal feature of the crisis that is full blown and driving capitalist elites toward fascism, which I and others have defined as the rule of finance capital itself. Among the multitude, narcissism is a product of capitalist privatization because it subjects fragmented and alienated individuals to capitalist imperatives now so deeply embedded in mass and individual consciousness that it will take a revolutionary sea change to challenge them.
And our history shows that none of us are immune from these processes. The early efforts of psychologists in the service of capitalists to colonize the minds of Americans during the Great Boom of the 1920s set a benchmark for all that followed. Citizens became consumers who were taught to believe that real democracy is found in the marketplace and not the polling place. The right to consume aimed at the gratification of desires – this master subterfuge is a totalizing force in the shaping of consciousness among Americans who are complicit in maintaining a system of private enterprise that robs them of material needs while convincing them there is no alternative. The idea that capitalism and democracy are synonymous and essential to the eternal mission of fulfilling the false promise of prosperity for all is the mystery of all mysteries that generates the successive privatization of the mind at the expense of the soul. When everything is for sale to those who believe they have the freedom to buy regardless of affordability, the privatized mind devours the spirit.
What all this means historically is that rugged individualism has turned into its opposite as each of us becomes increasingly subject to the dictatorial rule of capital and its personifications, the capitalist ruling class and its managers, in this case the rabid fascists of Trump & Co. It is the dictatorship of capital over labor, individually and collectively. Each of us to varying degree is ruled by its myriad forces of deception, manipulation, control and domination. Capitalist exploitation of American labor has never been greater. The size and magnitude of what some economists call the reserve army of labor due to the meteoric rise of unemployment since COVID struck only months ago will complete the neoliberal agenda by establishing a new regime of labor at drastically lower wages. At the same time the daily drill aimed at our heads tells us there is no choice but to accept this rotten system, leading us into a state of self-pulverization, individually and collectively. While our bodies depend on the extent to which we are required to sell our labor power in the marketplace, our minds are driven constantly toward the consumption of what we produce. A system based on the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of so few who manage to hold our destinies in their hands can only do so if they keep us trapped in the force field of the market, which they argue must be privately owned and controlled because this is the basis of American democracy. They succeed when they are objectively at their weakest but only for their amazing capacity to privatize our minds which we, up to now, allow them to do.
This is no easy matter to grasp. For now let us consider that the problem in all of us is the extent to which we continue to think essentially in terms of "I" instead of "we." Good people are turned when self-interest trumps mutual interests. Rugged individualism reduces people to believing that their opinion equals a fact because their supposed individuality has been shaped by the dominant ideas of the dominant class. When ruling elites spout nonsense in the name of liberty, democracy, the Constitution and national loyalty, we are not just talking about Trump & Co., which now extends to the Republican Party leadership at all levels of government and business, we are talking as well about the thousands of morons who will be in Tulsa tomorrow to show just what good Americans they are.
Such is life in the moment of a decidedly fascist turn. American Behemoth is now at full strength and must be slain by the multitude. That means us. Conscious efforts to create real democracy based on the public ownership of wealth and the forging of a socialist alternative is one choice. Fascism as the endgame of capitalism is the other. To achieve lasting progress requires the reversal of all current forms of privatization bound up in a great movement of our people that begins in the spirit of finding affinity with others and establishing cooperation as a normative value. In the process we will open our minds and hearts to the sea change that must come if we are to survive.

UK rent is the 'most expensive in Europe' at time of cheap mortgages.
UK rental costs are the highest in Europe but homeowners are benefiting from cheap mortgages, data suggests. Tenants typically spend 39.1% of their income on rent compared with a European average of 28%, figures from the National Housing Federation suggest.
The federation, which represents housing associations, also said that renters were less secure in their homes, owing to short tenancies. However, homeowners are benefitting from competition between lenders.
The British Bankers' Association (BBA) said that there was "fierce competition" among lenders which meant that "great mortgage deals" were available.
Low interest rates, a trend of owners sticking with long-term tracker deals, and a lack of properties on the market are all contributing to lenders lowering the cost of home loans to try to tempt owners to their mortgage products.
The contrasting fortunes of renters and owners will be a concern for those who see little prospect of getting on the housing ladder in the short term.
The NHF said that private tenants made up about 17% of all UK residents but were facing high costs. Their counterparts in Holland and Germany, for example, had private rents that were about 50% cheaper than in the UK.
David Orr, chief executive of the NHF, said: "How can we expect people to raise families, start businesses or save for their first home if they don't even know where they will be able to afford to live?
There was also a culture of longer-term residency in properties on the continent, unlike in the UK where people moved more often owing to short tenancy agreements, the federation added.
Are you ahead of the dividend tax game?

I've posted chicken salad before and I can't say this time I really did much different this time except I forgot the onion and maybe used a little less mustard so I won't bore you with a repeat recipe. Click here and I will link you to the original post!
This time however I poached the chicken breast.
I used boneless skinless chicken breast ~ in this instance I used two chicken breast so the recipe would need multiplied out to make as much as desired.
To poach the chicken add chicken breast to hot skillet with about 1 cup of water. I went with rosemary for flavor; add 1 tsp rosemary and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bring to simmer and reduce heat to medium; cook for 5 minutes, flip chicken over and cover with lid. Continue cooking 5 more minutes. In 10 minutes you will have perfectly poached chicken. Remove from skillet and allow to rest for about 5 minutes. Cut and shred into desired pieces.
I know I've been on a bit of a chicken run for a few days but I overstocked and needed to use it all up. I finished off the grilled whole chicken (a recipe I didn't even post!) with this chicken salad. I had part of the breast leftover and knew Charles would enjoy some homemade chicken salad on his lunch break. I just went with a simple celery and egg version. I think it was quite tasty; if only he'd remembered the crusty bread I'd gotten for him he'd have enjoyed it even more!
Combine chicken, mayo, mustard, celery, onion, salt and pepper.
I like to add the egg near the end so as not to break it up too much; add additional mayonnaise if needed ~ I added about a teaspoon more.
Sprinkle with a pinch of celery seed and stir; refrigerate until ready to serve.

Apple can still transfer its tablets to full-fledged macOS. This is hinted at by another patent of the company
Rumors that iPads might switch to macOS have been around for years, but Apple continues to develop iPad OS, sometimes hinting that the desktop operating system will not appear on tablets.
However, now we have another hint that something similar can still happen. At least Apple itself is working in this direction.
The company received another patent that describes a special keyboard for the iPad, when connected, the tablet launches a system with an interface similar to macOS.
It's worth starting with the keyboard itself, which is more than a simple case. It is attached to the tablet by means of a special protrusion and has a hinge familiar to laptops. Thus, the design must be comfortable and stable.
As for the OS, there are no details here, but it looks like macOS. That is, it is either a full-fledged macOS, or a special interface for iPad OS that copies it. At the same time, why Apple should create only an interface is not very clear.
Considering that the older iPads are already based on the same Apple Silicon platforms as the MacBook, apparently there are no technical restrictions for transferring tablets to macOS. The only question is whether it is necessary for users from Apple's point of view.

Carbon fiber foldable iPad coming next year
It looks like Apple will indeed release a foldable iPad relatively soon. Tianfeng International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says the company is working on a tablet with a completely new design.
In addition to being a foldable iPad, meaning it will have a flexible display, the device will also offer a carbon fiber stand. It is worth noting here that a stand for tablets usually means a separate accessory, but in this case, perhaps, we are talking about part of the main structure, since in a partially folded state, the tablet should normally stand on the surface and without any third-party stands.
Such a tablet is supposedly due out next year, and Kuo expects its release to have a positive impact on Apple tablet sales. At the same time, other new iPads may not come out at all in the next 9-12 months.
This is the OnePlus Pad. OnePlus has announced its first tablet
OnePlus has officially confirmed that it will launch its first tablet on February 7, called the OnePlus Pad.
In a post on the official blog, OnePlus has shared the first details about the upcoming device. OnePlus Pad will receive an aluminum alloy and a camera located in the central upper part on the back of the device.
OnePlus also said that the OnePlus Pad will feature a curved body that is rounded on the sides, allowing users to "comfortably hold the tablet for extended periods of time without fatigue."
OnePlus hasn't shared any further details on the tablet's specs, but it is rumored to have an 11.6-inch display.
9500 mAh, 67 W, 2K 144 Hz screen, Dimensity 9000. Oppo is preparing a super tablet Pad 2
An insider, known on the Weibo social network under the nickname Digital Chat Station, revealed the parameters of the promising Oppo Pad 2 tablet. Judging by the list of characteristics, the new model will be much better than the Oppo Pad.
The Oppo Pad 2 is expected to feature an 11-inch (or slightly larger) IPS screen with a resolution of 2800 x 2000 pixels, 144Hz frame rate, support for Dolby Vision and HDR 10+. The hardware platform of the device will be SoC MediaTek Dimensity 9000, but Android 13 will act as a software platform.
Oppo Pad 2 will receive a 9500mAh battery with 67W charging support. In comparison, the Oppo Pad has an 8360mAh battery with support for 33W charging. The premiere of Oppo Pad 2 is expected in February, the estimated cost of the basic version is $ 370.
Previously, Digital Chat Station was the first to accurately announce the specifications and release dates of Redmi K50 and Xiaomi 12.

Q: How to dynamically modify callers name Is there a way how to dynamically modify the name that appears on the screen when somebody is calling?
For instance, I have a number "123456789" in my contact list under the name "Bill Gates". Now when the number "123456789" calls me, I want the corresponding name that appears on the screen to be changed to for instance "Test".
I have a broadcast receiver that is listening to incoming calls. Once I get the call with particular number (123456789), I change the contact name to the corresponding value (Test).
The contact name gets changed to "Test", however the name visible on the screen during the phone call does not change.
Isn't there something like an observer pattern where all the receivers get notified once the contact has been updated?
I tried contentResolver.notifyChange(URI_CONTACTS, null, true), however does not work
Thank you in advance for any suggestions

A:
Is there a way how to dynamically modify the name that appears on the screen when somebody is calling?

No, at least no universal method which fits your scenario. The phone app would have to check for changes of the caller name by itself. As your test shows this does not apply to the phone app you are using.

Isn't there something like an observer pattern where all the receivers get notified once the contact has been updated?

Still, the phone app would have to register itself as an observer.

The Mysterious Case Files of Silver Cash!
I am very excited about a my new script The Mysterious Case Files of Silver Cash, Money Detective! Wells Fargo commissioned our theater to create a touring show teaching 4th graders about financial literacy. Silver Cash, a 5th grade detective, helps kids solve their money problems and the audience takes notes along with Silver to figure out the clues. Who took Phillip's $60? How can Sammy get her parents to give her $50 for a new video game? I had lots of fun playing with film noir styles. We are touring it into 60 classrooms in the fall of 2018.
My adaptation of James Howe's amazing book The Misfits continues to garner awards and notice. The story focuses on four seventh graders (who are misfits) stand up to bullying in their school by running for student government on a No Name Calling platform. It was named one of the top 10 productions in Omaha for 2011 by the Omaha World Herald. AND it was one of two plays selected by AATE's Playwrights in Our Schools program. I went to Park City Utah (where the paper called me a renowned playwright) in March 2012 to do a play development residency with the high school and their great director D'a cry Benicosa (I expanded the script to work for a large youth cast).
The Misfits was also featured in TCG's American Theater Magazine in an article called The Defenders which focused on how theater is used to make a difference about bullying. The play was also featured at the 2011 summer American Alliance for Theater and Education conference at a session about new play development with high schools.


On Saturday 1st December 2012, which was a very rainy day, I made my way literally down the hill to my neighbour Hilda's house for a barbecue ! We were not at all put off by the "cats and dogs" spectacle since it was about 19C, wet but pleasant which was very unlike the British weather.
We sat in the garden area, on the terrace, at a table bedecked with huge pint sized glasses of alcohol. I admittedly could not manage to drink such quantities because I'm more of a "martini and lemon person" but it was, however, a most welcome sign of a forthcoming fun-fuelled evening.
The hosts Graham was of Scotland heritage and my friend Hilda of Norwegian nationality. My friend Maureen was also there sitting at the table and is Scottish. The conversation was in full swing and I mentioned that my surname is Campbell which probably derives from the times of slavery. Perhaps, not a good move to mention that but it is a most significant part of who I am and it is a fact that I know some people would rather wish never existed. The subject was not discussed in depth but I am sure might have warranted so at another time and another place!
A week later, on Saturday 1st December, I did some research, like I normally do and came across Jackie Kay's Guardian article of Saturday 24th March 2007 on Scotland's Role in the Slave Trade which makes very uncomfortable but interesting reading.
I found it most relevant to the above conversation scenario since both my friends Maureen or Graham came from Scotland and one of them was born in Glasgow; if I remember correctly. I had no idea that Glasgow profited from the slave trade just as much as Liverpool, Bristol and London. Now that's history!

Alberto Ortega runs the ball down the court against the Contra Costa Comets during the Cougars' home game Nov. 8. Photos by Brian Walters
Cougars basketball picks up one win at Mendocino Tourney
December 4, 2019 December 3, 2019 Brian Walters
The Cougars hit the road to participate in the John Hogue Memorial Tournament at Mendocino College Thursday, Nov. 21 to Saturday, Nov. 23. Lassen opened up the tournament against the host team, and it started out as a high energy battle.
Both teams came out sloppy, with neither team able to get the edge. As the game went on, the high energy turned into high emotion while both teams tried to put together a run to pull ahead.
The Cougars handled Mendocino's early runs well, but after missing some uncharacteristic shots and free throws, they let the emotion and speed of the game get to them.
Lassen's shot selection and poor decision making fell into the hands of the host team. The Cougars went into the half down and weren't able to turn it around in the second half.
Lassen fell, 84-58. Sophomore Mykyta Kalin led the Cougars in scoring with 16 points.
The second day had Lassen matched up with a talented Cosumnes River College team. The Cougars came out much more determined on the defensive end to start the game. Despite the defensive edge they weren't able to find a rhythm offensively due to the Cosumnes zone defense.
Despite the stagnant offense, the Cougars found themselves ahead by two points with two minutes left in the second half, until they lost track of the Cosumnes long-range shooters.
CRC finished the half on a run that gave them a lead they never gave back. The Cougars ended up losing 95-75. Sophomore Ibrahim Shabazz led Lassen in scoring with 21 points followed by Kalin with 18 and Andre Davis who added 10 points of his own.
The final day of the tournament was gut check time for the Cougars as they faced off with Modesto Junior College, a team full of shooters – an area on defense that Lassen really struggled with the night before.
However, it was a new day and with a different starting lineup the Cougars came out with a different intensity on both sides of the floor.
Lassen held their sharp shooting opponent to only three first half three pointers as the game went into the half deadlocked at 33.
However, the second half started less than perfectly for the Cougars. Modesto came out with a game plan of pounding the ball inside that quickly gave them an advantage on the scoreboard. After being down by as many as nine points, Lassen fought back to not only tie the game but to take a lead that they would never give back. The Cougars finished the weekend on a high note with a, 70-67 win.
Kalin again led the Cougars in scoring with 14 points, followed by freshman Rodas Yohannes with 13 points, and Davis and Shabazz each added 11 points.
"It was a frustrating weekend overall because of how we handled adversity the first two games. We are so much better than the product we put out there. We let the momentum and emotion of the first two games affect us too much. I am, however, extremely proud of how the guys bounced back against Modesto. It really was a full team effort and something we can really build off of as the really difficult part of our schedule begins," said Coach Will Freedman.

Is public journalism the answer?
In the past few years, a journalism reform movement known as public or civic journalism has gone from being a "counter-culture" phenomenon in a handful of newsrooms across the country to a mainstream experiment in more than 170 of them today. It has touched off a passionate and sometimes vitriolic debate at media conferences, on radio and television talk shows, and on the OpEd pages of major newspapers. What is public journalism? Its advocates say it will restore the public's trust in the media and begin to help turn back the tide of cynicism in the country by encouraging citizen participation in our democracy. Its opponents say it is flat-out wrongheaded, simplistic "do-gooderism" that dangerously blurs the lines between journalism and activism. Both sides accuse the other of oversimplifying their positions.

ZANIS SPORTS COPY — Parents urged to encourage their children to participate in school sports
Parents urged to encourage their children to participate in school sports
Chitambo, June 19TH, 2014, ZANIS — TEACHERS at Chitambo Primary School have advised parents to desist from stop their children from participating in the school's sports activities.
School Sports Coordinator Kelvin Mutengo says it is saddening that most parents in the district tend to discourage their children to attend sports activities at the school for fear of disturbing the child's class performance.
"Parents say sports disturb the child's performance at school so they would rather restrict them from attending any sports activities at the school," he said.
ZANIS sports reports that the School Sports Coordinator said this in an interview at the School in Chitambo District, today.
He said many children have talents in various sports disciplines which can help them in future because some pupils do not perform well in class but excel greatly in sports and have travelled the world.
"Some children do not perform well in class but when you take them to the playing field they really excel.
" Sports can contribute greatly to a child's future and they can even travel the world and go to places their parents have never been," he said.
Mr. Mutengo said some pupils have been selected to represent the school at Zone and District levels but their parents have not allowed them to participate which has ended up disappointing the school.
He explained that children can learn leadership, team-building and communication skills that will help them in school, their future career and personal relationships adding that participation in sports has a positive impact on a child's self esteem and confidence.
And senior teacher for grade one pupils Goodson Chisenga has adviced parents with grade one pupils at the school to never allow them to miss classes as they will miss out on a lot of things.
Mr. Chisenga says since governments' introduction of the Primary Literacy Programme (PLP), children are not supposed to miss classes because at the end of grade one, all pupils are supposed to have learnt how to read.
"Government is really serious about the PLP programme that is why children should not miss classes because when they miss a day, they miss out on a number of lessons," he said.
Mr. Chisenga said parents and teachers should work together to achieve one goal of ensuring that children learn to read their mother tongue at a tender age and support governments programme.

Surprise: The Kardashians aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
After the announcement that Keeping Up With the Kardashians will air its 20th and final season on E! in 2021, Hulu announced last Thursday how the family will create exclusive content for the streaming service after the hit E! series' ending next year.

The multi-year deal was announced during Disney's Investor's Day.
"Announced today at Disney's Investor Day, Kris, Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie will create global content, which will stream exclusively on Hulu in the U.S. and in multiple territories on Star internationally," the company shared.
"Expected debut is late 2021 and additional details will be shared when available."

"Excited to announce our new multi year partnership with Hulu and Star and what's to come in 2021 @hulu," Kris Jenner tweeted about the news while Kourtney Kardashian added, "#HULU2021."
In September, E! alongside the Kardashian-Jenner family revealed KUWTK would end after it's 20th season in 2021.
"It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to Keeping Up with the Kardashians. After what will be 14 years, 20 seasons, hundreds of episodes and several spin-off shows, we've decided as a family to end this very special journey," the Kardashians posted to social media. "We are beyond grateful to all of you who've watched us for all of these years—through the good times, the bad times, the happiness, the tears, and the many relationships and children. We'll forever cherish the wonderful memories and countless people we've met along the way.
"Thank you to the thousands of individuals and businesses that have been a part of this experience and most importantly, a very special thank you to Ryan Seacrest for believing in us, E! for being our partner, and our production team at Bunim/Murray who've spent countless hours filming our lives. Our last season will air early next year in 2021. We love you!"

It is not our final goodbye yet, we are excited to have the new season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians launching on September 17 with the final season airing in 2021. We thank the entire extended family and our production partners, Bunim Murray and Ryan Seacrest Productions for embarking on this global phenomenon together."
