Sadio Mane silences doubters in record-breaking Liverpool victory
By Max Cooper
A record breaking afternoon for Mane / PAUL ELLIS/Getty Images
If there's one scene we've missed witnessing on a Saturday afternoon, it's a proper Sadio Mane beaming smile.
The 29-year-old has begun to draw criticism (mainly online, it must be said) from certain sections of the Liverpool fanbase, who believe they're witnessing the beginning of the end of the Senegalese forward's time at the top.
Well, what better way to silence those doubters, then shoving a double-record breaking afternoon of football down their gobs?
Mane went into the weekend knowing he could join an elite list of players to have scored 100 goals for the Premier League giants, and all he needed was one strike against Crystal Palace to do so. In achieving that feat, he would also break a Premier League record he was currently joint-holding along with Robin van Persie (thanks Opta).
A goal against Crystal Palace would signal the ninth consecutive match in which Mane had found the net in this fixture, going one better than Van Persie's eight successive field days against Stoke City.
The critics said he wouldn't hit the target on Saturday afternoon, demonstrating his apparent fall from grace since the days he was once considered the best asset in this dangerous Liverpool attacking trident.
Well, they were wrong.
In a game which was threatening to become 'one of those days' for the Reds, who had to watch Diogo Jota write his name on the list for the Miss of the Season contenders, Mane came up trumps and burst the dam.
Mane was the man in the right place at the right time to break the Eagles' resilience at Anfield, responding quickest to Vicente Guaita's save from a Mohamed Salah header to knock the ball home from close range.
That strike summoned his wonderful beaming smile, as well as thousands of equally broad grins around Liverpool's famous stadium. It was Mane's 10th goal in all competitions against the Eagles, also meaning an incredible 10% of his goals have come in this very fixture.
9 - Sadio Mané has scored in each of his last nine league appearances against Crystal Palace, the first player in @premierleague history to score in nine straight matches against a single side. Thanos. https://t.co/N1TFOJC84y

His strike broke Palace's resistance, inspiring the Reds to a 3-0 victory and another success at the start of the new Premier League season. Jurgen Klopp's men have kicked off this season in similar fashion to how they ended the last one, and they now look much more like the team that blew their rivals away in 2020.
Mane was crucial to that title-winning side, and he'll be equally as important this time round, should the Merseysiders fancy their chances at another crack at the Premier League summit.
Fortunately for Klopp and all Liverpool fans, their number 10 has got plenty of time left at the top - whether the haters deserve the success he brings or not.

Eugen Fassbender (* 28. Mai 1854 in Penzing, heute Wien; † 3. April 1923 in Wien) war ein österreichischer Architekt und Stadtplaner.

Leben
Fassbender studierte von 1874 bis 1880, unterbrochen vom Militärdienst, an der Technischen Hochschule Wien bei Karl König und Heinrich von Ferstel. Danach besuchte er von 1880 bis 1883 die Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien bei Friedrich von Schmidt.

Als Architekt errichtete er zahlreiche Telefonämter in Wien. Er konzentrierte sich aber mehr auf die Stadtplanung und auf die Publikation von Fachschriften. Beim Wettbewerb für einen Wiener Generalregulierungsplan gewann er 1893 den 2. Preis. Weitblickend war 1898 sein Vorschlag zur Schaffung eines Volksrings, der um die Stadt herum ein Luftreservoir bilden sollte. 1905 wurde diese Idee mit der Errichtung des Wiener Grüngürtels in modifizierter Form verwirklicht. 1905–1908 schuf er einen Generalregulierungsplan für Villach.

Fassbender war seit 1904 Baurat, außerdem Sachverständiger für Städtebau und Gartenarchitektur. Seit 1891 war er Mitglied des Österreichischen Ingenieur- und Architektenvereins, ab 1893 der Genossenschaft der bildenden Künstler Wiens, ab 1908 der Zentralvereinigung der Architekten Österreichs und seit 1913 der Wiener Bauhütte.

1981 wurde die Fassbendergasse in Wien-Hietzing nach ihm benannt.

P Valley's Nicco Annan On Why Uncle Clifford Exists in a Space Beyond Gender
"And that in and of itself was freedom and license to just go and create a human being. So that's what I did. That's what we did."
in ADTV, featured, News
Credit: Tina Rowden, STARZ Entertainment
Awards Daily's Megan McLachlan talks to actor Nicco Annan about bringing the role of Uncle Clifford from the stage to the small screen and the importance of non-binary representation.
If you haven't watched STARZ's P Valley, you are truly missing out on one of the most original series of last year. Taking place in the fictional Mississippi town of Chucalissa, the series follows the dancers working in a strip club called The Pynk, owned by the dynamic and vibrant Uncle Clifford (Nicco Annan).
Clifford is notably genderfluid, using she/her pronouns, but that's just one aspect of this character. As she struggles to keep the club open amidst the chaos of a pending casino takeover, she keeps her cool with a sharp tongue and sharper love for her beloved "heffers." Plus, Clifford develops a relationship with a budding rapper named Lil Murda (J. Alphonse Nicholson), which brings about one of the most emotional moments of the show (and this series includes a beatdown between a mother and daughter!).
Uncle Clifford actually started as a character in series creator Katori Hall's play Pussy Valley, a role that Annan originated more than 10 years ago. I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with the actor about bringing Clifford to television, how representation has changed in 10 years, and what it's like seeing such positive reception for the show and this groundbreaking character.
AD: I binged P Valley in two days. It was so good. You're amazing on it. And in my research, I learned that you've been playing Clifford for a while. What's it like bringing her to the small screen and has playing her changed through the years?
Nicco Annan: First of all, what a wild ride you must have had over the weekend. (Laughs) That's a lot!
AD: (Laughs)
NA: It's a pleasure to live in Clifford's skin on the small screen. It's like you're going to a family reunion in a lot of ways, because the reach that the piece has, it's so expansive and much more than it could ever be in theater. Having a voice to be a part of the lexicon of LGBTQ+ characters, it's an honor. I feel like so many people are coming to the family reunion, people who didn't even know they were cousins. So it's a lot of people who are getting an inside view of a culture that is living unapologetically, yet has room for others.
AD: That's great. So you've been playing this character for 10 years.
NA: Yeah, the first time I read any of the pages was back in 2009.
AD: The world has changed so much since then. Has that affected your approach to this character in the years you've been playing her?
NA: Oh, yeah. Back in 2009, non-binary and genderfluid people weren't—and they still aren't to this day—seen with a complete humanity all the time when it comes to scripts and stories that are being told. But I think the advancement of having artists behind the screens and in the writers' room, having women of color, the directors, just people putting together the story outside of the actors—I think that that makes a huge difference.
I think I was able to do the research before this role, in a very nontraditional way, and feel the things that non-binary people feel. And by that, I mean there are things taken from the script, but in creating Uncle Clifford, I really delved into regular day-to-day activities. So I consulted several non-binary and genderfluid friends, people in the spectrum. I did a stealth deep dive on social media. I looked into the lives and behind the screens, I will say, of what people show you. I wanted to know what isn't shown, and some of the things that aren't shown are the violence and the barriers that non-binary people and genderfluid people go through, but also what I saw was the strength, resilience, and tenacity, and I wanted to make sure that I brought pieces of all sides of the puzzle to the table and the character, because there is a strength and a power that comes with the cost of walking in this world and knowing who you are. I feel like the community knows that cost best.
AD: That's beautiful.

NA: It was a lot of research in department stores. I would go to TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Ross. And I would shop for the character and just catching the looks of people, when they see you standing 6'2″ and having dark skin and a strong stature. You had a range in the spectrum of responses, whether they were affirmations as well as stares or "We don't have that in your size"—a quick cutdown. It was different. I remember what it was like shopping in Harlem in 2009 for Uncle Clifford versus shopping in 2019 at Marshalls for Uncle Clifford. That was a totally different experience. I can feel the change for sure.
AD: There's so many things I could ask you about, but I'm just gonna start right at the end of Season 1. That moment where she put her hand on Lil Murda's shoulder and he ignores her. Can Clifford ever forgive him?
NA: I think she'll be able to forgive him and even take him back, when it comes to accountability. The last thing that LaMarques said to Uncle Clifford was, "I want to be ready." And she said, "Well, let me know when you are." She's basically saying, you are not ready right now. I'm hopeful for them, but I think it's gonna be a ways. To be very honest, there's something about being in the black male body specifically and seeing the hyper masculinity that exists within Lil Murda, and however he identifies, I think the audience will gain a deeper understanding in Season 2.
And Clifford's body, some people have questions: Who are you? Are you in the midst of a transition? The thing is is that Clifford identifies in that non-binary space, and there's something more inside of her that's more than male, more than female; it's all things, and the way she expresses herself may be more toward a feminine expression in terms of identify with the nails, hair, and clothes, but her identity exists in a space that's beyond gender. It can't be contained. If we all can do that in any shape, form, or fashion—be who we are without apology—I think that's one of the missions of the piece that Katori [Hall] was very successful with. I asked her in the beginning, "Where did the concept of this person come from?" Uncle Clifford was based off of three people, and the combination of those three and the notion of what she initially told me was: "What could a person be if they accepted their full femininity and full masculinity?" And that in and of itself was freedom and license to just go and create a human being. So that's what I did. That's what we did. (Laughs)
AD: Everything you're saying is this character.
NA: I love that.
AD: Clifford seems so up on everything that goes on, but she didn't know about the casino coming in. Why didn't she know? How was that a blind spot?
NA: If you follow the crumbs, there's a lot in the show about gentrification, and when Uncle Clifford is constantly noticing that there are more Mexican day laborers that are working and they are coming in—and the whole thing with the check cashing—when she starts talking for all of the people in the line, that's a thread for you guys, because a lot of times the gentrification that happens in communities is done by other minorities. It may be a big wig company that comes in and buys everything, but who does the work? That's where that thread comes from, and I think you'll see more of that in Season 2.
AD: That's so interesting. This is such a physical role for you, in terms of so much of Clifford's personality comes out in her gestures. How do you find that or come up with that? Like her clicking her heels or nails.
NA: Megan, it all starts with that twerk, baby. (Laughs)
NA: A lot of that comes from the background of the character. Clifford was a dancer, and that was one of the ideas of turning the juke joint [into a strip club], when it was grandmother Ernestine's (Loretta Devine). Before Ernestine owned it, it was her grandfather's and it was a cotton mill. This building, this land that is in this family, has been passed down over generations, so there was no way that we could just let it go for it to be lost under Clifford's watch.
I think the physicality of the character comes out of that space of being a dancer. The way that you see things as a dancer sometimes is beyond a physical form; it is an energy, and you're communicating pictures with your body, whether that's turning up or a praise of worship, it's a means of communication. It was only appropriate that Clifford would be able to use the body in a way as a weapon, use the body as a place of a temple. All of that can happen, and it happens within different genders and identities. There are lots of times where women use sexuality or submission—it can be a weapon to get what they want, a weapon to defend yourself against other advances. You use that combined with your brain; you got some real things going on. The combination of all those different rules Clifford has, combined with how she sees the world, is a part of how you gain shape. And that's how she did it.
AD: So much of this show is about motherhood. Do you think Clifford's relationship with her grandmother influenced her way of supporting the girls at The Pynk? At one point, Mercedes even says that Clifford is the best mother she's ever had. Where does the maternal instinct come from?
NA: I think that the maternal instinct comes from Clifford's mother, whom you haven't seen.
AD: Yes! I wondered about that.
NA: Yes, Megan, you digested a lot in two days. I love it. This is one of the first interviews in a long time, where I'm like, oh, she got all of it! (Laughs) It really comes from the relationship with Clifford's mother, but also definitely grandmother Ernestine, the way that she loves Clifford. People of different generations approach the topic of LGBTQ+ identity in archaic ways. A lot of things they may not understand because it's different for them, but the one thing I know that they do understand, our elders, is love. When you get to a certain point in love, only certain things truly matter. So that scene in Episode 6, when Lil Murda comes over to the house for date night, grandmother says, "Clifford came out the coochie swishing." There was no apology. She knew who I was from the very beginning. For Lil Murda to hear that coming from a family member and an elder in the family, I think that says a lot and gave credence to the person Clifford is. We don't see enough stories with characters that are handled with love that are not told from the perspective of trauma. The story may include or have parts of contingency and traumatic events, those types of things, but it was also important to be able to show how can love heal?
AD: What's it been like seeing such positive reception for this character, bringing her out to a bigger world?
NA: It feels like God's confirmation. I have lived and had a career where I have been going at it for a very long time. Colorism is a very real thing in this country. I remember when I took my first professional head shots, I had facial hair, because I wanted to have a shot for casting directors to see what I looked like with facial hair. Every single photographer that I interviewed with said they would not take pictures of me with facial hair because I would not get work, and I just think it's hilarious that I'm in a series regular role that is getting all of this attention with all of this facial hair. Facial hair, nails, and wigs. (Laughs) And that was just back in '99. And then things progressed.
I also knew that because of my size and stature, people tended to think that I could only be the reverend or the more conservative characters. People were not looking at me for leading a shot, and to be honest, there are certain characters that were not even being written for the stage at the time. People were looking for a certain thing, whatever that was. I am happy, happy, happy, happy to say the time has changed, and I think I am reaping the benefits of representation. I am not the first gay black man. I am not the first person to portray of a non-binary or genderfluid experience, and I will not be the last as long as I continue to do my job right.
Season 1 of P Valley is available on STARZ.

MotoGP, Razali: "It was a relief to have signed with Valentino Rossi"
Petronas team director: "It was the worst kept secret of all. We want to allow him to continue doing what he likes and improve."

Now the signature is black on white: Valentino Rossi will continue to race next year and will do so with the Petrona team, alongside Franco Morbidelli. For the Malaysian team, which made its MotoGP debut, it's certainly a lucky blow to have a legend like the Doctor with them.
Team director Razlan Razali did not hide his satisfaction in an interview with Sky: "I felt a lot of emotion and even a bit of relief. This negotiation had been going for a while. It was the worst kept secret of all," he said smiling.
What was once as a Junior Team will have a piece of World Championship history in its ranks.
"We're honored to be able to sign Valentino for our second year. We thank him for trusting us. We're here to help him improve and allow him to continue doing what he likes," the manager concluded.

One of the many reasons I strongly support Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto is because of his political courage and willingness to do what is right. I take the liberty of re-posting Mayor Peduto's full Statement in Response to President Trump's Executive Orders Regarding Immigration: "The residents of Pittsburgh stand tonight with cities all across our nation. Pittsburgh was built by immigrants, who came to our city to find work in our steel mills and who forged a better life for their families. Like my grandparents, they came to America for opportunity, and they built America. We stand on their shoulders, and we owe it to them to preserve opportunities for current and future generations. Just as our past was built by immigrants, so too will be our future.
Let's be clear: the President's executive order will not make us safer. It will not advance the principles upon which our nation and our cities were founded. It will further divide us as a city and as a nation. Pittsburgh joins tonight with other cities across the country and we stand ready to fight this unprecedented and this unconstitutional act. We will resist, with all powers at our disposal, any attempt to commandeer our local law enforcement officers into a national deportation army.

«Винни-Пух: Время делать подарки» () — американский сборник мультфильмов 1999 года, выпущенный сразу на видеокассетах и DVD. Состоит из мультфильма  и двух эпизодов мультсериала «Новые приключения Винни-Пуха», все истории объединены темой дарения подарков и расположены в хронологическом порядке (начало ноября — День благодарения — Рождество). По мотивам сказок Алана Милна о приключениях Винни-Пуха и его друзей.

Сюжет

История первая
Тигра хочет кататься на лыжах, а снега всё нет. Узнать, какой сегодня день и когда придёт зима, он с Пятачком отправляется к Кролику, поскольку лишь у того в Лесу есть календарь. На календаре 7 ноября, но сквозняк отрывает несколько листков, и Кролик с недоумением заявляет, что сегодня уже 2 февраля, «день земляной свинки». Друзья отправляются искать земляную свинку, чтобы та предсказала им или скорую весну или продолжение зимы, но поскольку такого зверя в Лесу нет, в него переодевают Пятачка, и тот, не видя своей тени, предрекает скорую весну. Все жители Леса начинают заниматься весенними делами: уборкой, огородом, и крайне удивлены наступившими холодами и обилием снега. Кролик во всём обвиняет Пятачка, но затем находит улетевшие листки календаря и понимает свою ошибку, однако просить прощения уже не у кого — Пятачок ушёл искать настоящую земляную свинку. Кролик бросается по следам друга, по глубоким сугробам, и находит снеговика в шапочке поросёнка. Решив, что это замёрзший Пятачок, Кролик размораживает его дома, но получает лишь таз воды. Горе друзей огромно, но вскоре является живой и здоровый Пятачок, и тогда Кролик наконец-то может перед ним извиниться. Тигра объявляет, что сегодняшний день, 13 ноября, это «день свиномордиков».

История вторая
В Волшебном лесу День благодарения, и Винни-Пух спешит всех об этом оповестить. Друзья собирают праздничный стол: жёлуди, печенье, чертополох, мороженое, мёд, лимонад, но Кролика это не устраивает, он хочет, чтобы всё было «по правилам» — индейка в клюквенном соусе и тыквенный пирог. По его указанию Тигра с Иа-Иа отправляются за клюквой, Суслик — за тыквами, Винни-Пух с Пятачком — за индейкой, Сова отвечает за столовые приборы, а он сам — за праздничное оформление. Блуждая по лесу, Тигра с осликом сначала находят клюкву, потом её теряют, а после и вовсе попадаются в ловушку, сделанную Пухом и Пятачком для поимки индейки. Когда Пух с Пятачком выкладывают на стол огромный мешок с «пойманной индейкой», Тигра с Иа-Иа освобождаются, в результате чего от праздничного стола ничего не остаётся. Все, опечаленные, расходятся по домам, но Пуху приходит в голову, что в этот праздник надо делиться, чем есть, и в итоге друзья снова собираются за скромным, но уютным столом.

История третья
Жители Волшебного леса готовятся к Рождеству. Кролику приходит письмо от птички Кесси, которую он когда-то спас от смерти. По просьбе Крошки Ру он рассказывает эту историю…
Однажды зимой во время метели Кролик услышал тоненький крик о помощи. Оказалось, сильный ветер кружит гнездо с крохотной птичкой, которую он и спас. Кролик оставил её у себя, стал заботиться как о младенце, назвал Кесси, а та стала звать своего спасителя папа Кроля. Как-то весной, гуляя с Тигрой, Кесси падает в пропасть, но от смерти её спасает то, что к тому времени она уже подросла, окрепла и немного научилась летать. Кролик хоть и рад, что Кесси жива, но тем не менее категорически против её попыток летать, так как не хочет с ней расставаться.
Наступила осень, Кесси с тоской провожает птичьи стаи, летящие в тёплые края, но сама она летать так толком и не научилась, хотя и тренируется тайком от Кролика. Увидев однажды такую тренировку, Кролик приходит в ярость и случайно падает с обрыва, но Кесси его спасает — теперь она совсем окрепла. Пришли холода, и Кесси готовится к отлёту. Она прощается со всеми и отправляется на юг.
Окончив рассказ, Кролик с друзьями выходят на улицу украшать ёлку, но обнаруживается, что они забыли звезду на верхушку. Внезапно все видят падающую звезду, которая направляется прямо к ним на поляну — это оказывается Кесси, прилетевшая на Рождество в Волшебный лес, она принесла в клюве яркую звезду на верхушку ели.

Q: Xamarin.Forms - Image inside ViewCell flashes when updating the ItemSource I am working on an Accordion ListView in a Xamarin.Forms project. This means that you can click on Category Headings in a ListView, which will expand or collapse the children beneath it.
There are two images and a title in each Category Heading so I am using a ViewCell. The issue is that when a Category is tapped and the children are shown, the images on the Category Heading ViewCell flash.
I have two observable collections that I am using to accomplish the Accordion Functionality. One that contains every parent (MenuItemGroup) and child (MenuItem) item, and one that only includes the MenuItem's that should be shown. Every time a header is tapped, an event fires that gets the selected Index of the Category and toggles it's Expanded property (showing or hiding it's children). Then the UpdateListContent() method is called to refresh the ListView ItemSource:
    private ObservableCollection<MenuItemGroup> _allGroups;
    private ObservableCollection<MenuItemGroup> _expandedGroups;

    private void OnHeaderTapped(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var selectedIndex = _expandedGroups.IndexOf(
            ((MenuItemGroup)((StackLayout)sender).Parent.BindingContext));

        _allGroups[selectedIndex].Expanded = !_allGroups[selectedIndex].Expanded;

        UpdateListContent();
    }

    private void UpdateListContent()
    {
        _expandedGroups = new ObservableCollection<MenuItemGroup>();

        foreach (var group in _allGroups)
        {
            var newGroup = new MenuItemGroup(group.Title, group.CategoryIcon, group.Expanded);

            if (group.Count == 0)
            {
                newGroup.Expanded = null;
            }

            if (group.Expanded == true)
            {
                foreach (var menuItem in group)
                {
                    newGroup.Add(menuItem);
                }
            }
            _expandedGroups.Add(newGroup);
        }

        _menuItemListView.ItemsSource = _expandedGroups;
    }

Here is the DateTemplate and Image Binding:
        var menuItemGroupTemplate = new DataTemplate(() =>
        {
            var groupImage = new Image();
            groupImage.SetBinding<MenuItemGroup>(Image.SourceProperty, i => i.CategoryIcon);

            var titleLabel = new Label
            {
                TextColor = Color.White,
                VerticalTextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center,
                VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center,
                FontSize = Device.GetNamedSize(NamedSize.Medium, typeof(Label))
            };
            titleLabel.SetBinding<MenuItemGroup>(Label.TextProperty, t => t.Title);

            var stateIconImage = new Image
            {
                HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.EndAndExpand
            };
            stateIconImage.SetBinding<MenuItemGroup>(Image.SourceProperty, i => i.IconState);

            var menuItemGroupStackLayout = new StackLayout
            {
                BackgroundColor = Color.FromHex("40474d"),
                HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand,
                VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand,
                Orientation = StackOrientation.Horizontal,
                Padding = new Thickness(10 ,0, 20, 0),
                Children = { groupImage, titleLabel, stateIconImage }
            };

            var tapGestureRecognizer = new TapGestureRecognizer();

            tapGestureRecognizer.Tapped += OnHeaderTapped;
            tapGestureRecognizer.CommandParameter = menuItemGroupStackLayout.BindingContext;
            menuItemGroupStackLayout.GestureRecognizers.Add(tapGestureRecognizer);

            var menuItemGroupViewCell = new ViewCell
            {
                View = menuItemGroupStackLayout,
                Height = 63.0
            };

            return menuItemGroupViewCell;
        });

        _menuItemListView = new ListView
        {
            RowHeight = 55,
            IsGroupingEnabled = true,
            ItemTemplate = menuItemTemplate,
            GroupHeaderTemplate = menuItemGroupTemplate,
            SeparatorColor = Color.FromHex("40474d"),
            HasUnevenRows = true
        };

Both the groupIcon and stateIcon images flash when the ListView ItemSource is updated. Can anyone offer any insight into how to fix this issue? Thanks!
I can post the MenuItemGroup and MenuItem classes if you think it would be helpful.

A: I faced a similar problem when I tried to update my listview with images. I saw image flicker in Android. It is usually because of the delay in loading image.
Try fixing the image height and width. If that doesn't work, while updating the list content, update only the required images and textual values, so that all images need not load again.
I can provide a sample code if you really need it, since you only needed an insight.
So here's what you can do :
Bind your Listview.Itemsource with _expandedGroups, so that you need not set the ItemsSource property everytime you expand/collapse. This refreshes your list and hence your images.
private ObservableCollection<MenuItemGroup> _expandedGroups;
public ObservableCollection<MenuItemGroup> ExpandedGroups
{
 get
 {
  return _expandedGroups;
 }
 set
 {
  if(value!=null) _expandedGroups = value;
  OnPropertyChanged("ExpandedGroups");
 }
}

And in your updation method : - Pass your allListSelection
UpdateListContent(_allGroups[SelectedIndex], SelectedIndex);
private void UpdateListContent(MenuItemGroup group, int index)
{
 if(group.Expanded)
 {
  foreach (var menuItem in group)
   {
     ExpandedGroup.Insert(index++, menuItem);
   }
 }
 else
 {
  foreach (var menuItem in group)
   {
     ExpandedGroup.Remove(menuItem); //Can also use ExpandedGroup.RemoveAt(index++);
   }
  }
}

Cheers.

A: Faced same problem.. Surprisingly the flicker totally disapeared after i've put the code that was notifying the control that update was needed inside the             Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread.

SASKATOON, SK – The Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men's football team opened their 2015 season with a 33-10 loss to the Saskatchewan Huskies in non-conference action Friday night.
Third-year Saskatchewan receiver Mitch Hillis hauled in nine passes for 187 yards and 2 touchdowns on the night while fourth-year Huskie quarterback Drew Burko finished the night 13-for-20 with a pair of touchdownds and 214 yards.
Kayden Johnson carried the ball 17 times on the ground with Tyler Chow rushing another nine times for 86 and 62 yards respectively.
Second-year quarterback Eric Morelli of Burlington, Ont., completed 10-of-21 attempts on Friday night for 103 yards as he received the majority of playing time for the purple and gold. James Fracas of Waterloo, Ont., started the contest for the Hawks and went 1-for-5 in limited action.
Greg Nyhof of Georgetown, Ont., was the top receiver for Laurier with two catches for 40 yards.
On the ground it was 2014 CIS leading rusher Dillon Campbell of Whitby, Ont., with six rushes for 46 yards before getting removed from the game early in the second quarter. Morelli and Eric Guiltinan of London, Ont., took over the majority of the rushing duties from there and finished with 38 yards each.

Rookie kicker Quinn Johnson of Toronto, accounted for the Hawks other four points with a field goal in the third quarter and a single in the fourth.
It was the second meeting between the two programs. The only previous matchup was the 2005 Vanier Cup in Hamilton when Laurier prevailed 24-23.
Laurier will fly home Saturday and return to training camp on Sunday in preparation for their regular season opener on the road against the York Lions on August 30.

iPhone 8: Apple may teach the smartphone industry a lesson on why it is the boss
techfoogle
When Apple launches its much-anticipated 10th anniversary iPhone this fall, it will offer an unwitting lesson in how much the smartphone industry it pioneered has matured. The new iPhone is expected to include new features such as high-resolution displays, wireless charging and 3-D sensors. Rather than representing major breakthroughs, however, most of the innovations have been available in competing phones for several years.
Apple 's relatively slow adoption of new features both reflects and reinforces the fact smartphone customers are holding onto their phones longer. Timothy Arcuri, an analyst at Cowen & Co, believes upwards of 40% of iPhones on the market are more than two years old, a historical high.
That is a big reason why investors have driven Apple shares to an all-time high. There is pent-up demand for a new iPhone, even if it does not offer breakthrough technologies. It is not clear whether Apple deliberately held off on packing some of the new features into the current iPhone 7 , which has been criticized for a lack of differentiation from its predecessor. Apple declined to comment on the upcoming product.
Still, the development and roll-out of the anniversary iPhone suggest Apple's product strategy is driven less by technological innovation than by consumer upgrade cycles and Apple's own business and marketing needs. "When a market gets saturated, the growth is all about refresh," said Bob O'Donnell of Technalysis Research. "This is exactly what happened to PCs. It's exactly what happened to tablets. It's starting to happen to smartphones."
Apple is close-mouthed about upcoming product features, but analysts and reports from Asian component suppliers and others indicate that high-resolution displays based on OLED technology — possibly with curved edges — are likely to be part of the anniversary phone. A radical new design is not expected, according to analysts.
Some of the anticipated new technologies, notably wireless charging, remain messy. Samsung Electronics Co Ltd phones, for example, feature wireless charging but support two different sets of standards, one called Qi and the other AirFuel.
Apple recently joined the group backing Qi. But there are still at least five different groups working on wireless charging technology within Apple, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. As to 3-D sensors, there is already one hiding in the iPhone 7.
The front camera features what is known as a time-of-flight sensor, which helps it autofocus and is used in numerous phones including the Blackberry , according to TechInsights, a firm that examines the chips inside tech devices.
That sensor could be upgraded to a higher-resolution version that could handle 3-D mapping for facial recognition, said Jim Morrison, vice president at TechInsights. Some analysts also speculate the company could remove the phone's home button, placing it and a fingerprint sensor beneath the front display glass, based on patents the company has filed.
Global smartphone sales were up only 2.3% to 1.47 billion units in 2016, according to IDC. Many carriers in the United States have stopped subsidizing phones, causing phone buyers to think harder about their next purchase.
Apple will likely make a heavy marketing push around the phone's 10th anniversary. "IPhone set the standard for mobile computing in its first decade and we are just getting started. The best is yet to come," chief executive officer Tim Cook said in a statement January 8, the date the iPhone was announced by then-CEO Steve Jobs in 2007.
In 2015, the last year it disclosed the figure, Apple spent $1.8 billion on advertising, up 50% from the year before and nearly four times the $467 million it spent in 2007 when it first released the iPhone.
And the company continues to excel at selling higher-priced phones. Chief financial officer Luca Maestri attributed the most recent quarter's record-setting 78.3 million iPhones sold to the iPhone 7 Plus , which for the first time included a new dual camera feature not found in other models.
The iPhone 7 Plus tops out at $969 with memory upgrades and a jet black finish. O'Donnell of Technalysis Research believes that with the next iPhone, Apple might even introduce a $1,000-plus "ultra-premium device for the real Apple-crazed folks out there who want to stand out."

Small house sells for BIG money!
A one-bedroom house in a Surry Hills laneway has sold for $1.88 million.
One of inner-Sydney's smallest and most iconic properties has sold before auction for almost $2 million.
Built on a 44-square metre site, and only three car spaces wide, the one-bedroom home nicknamed the Small House in an unassuming laneway in the backblocks of Surry Hills was sold for $1.88 million.
At almost $43,000 per square metre it is one of Sydney's most expensive houses.
Not just any run-of-the-mill inner-city house, it has won a clutch of awards since it was built by its owner architect Domenic Alvaro in 2010, including the World Architecture Festival's World House of the Year in 2011. It has also featured on Grand Designs Australia.
Constructed from monolithic precast concrete panels, the house spans 200 square metres over five levels, including a rooftop terrace, garage and two bathrooms. There are living areas on three of the levels and panoramic city views from the top floor.
It also has some high-end finishes such as American oak carpentry and basalt stone slab floors.
Alvaro, the principal of architecture firm Woods Bagot, said after designing luxury homes around the country he wanted to live in one.
"You always aspire to live in a home you've designed yourself," he told Domain.
Selling agent and co-founder of BresicWhitney, Ivan Bresic, said the price was a record for a one-bedroom property in Surry Hills and was viewed by more than 250 groups in the three-and-a-half weeks it was on the market.
"This sale is representative of the strong regard for architecturally designed homes within inner-Sydney," he said.
Alvaro bought the former car space back in 2008 for $230,000. It had been due to go to auction next weekend.

John Ware

We welcome feedback regarding the content that may be linked to or included in these learning tools; email us at education@HistoricaCanada.ca.
This lesson is based on viewing the John Ware biography from The Canadians series. John Ware remains a prominent figure in Canadian history. As a former slave from the American South who transplanted himself in Southern Alberta's range country, he triumphed over prejudice and discrimination to become a legend of the Canadian West.
Students will use the life of John Ware as a starting point to investigate several themes. The following activities focus on African-Canadian experiences, the myth and reality of the Canadian West, agricultural practices, and immigration.
John Ware is a man who will never grow old. No matter where you may go in Alberta's range country, you'll hear someone mention John Ware – pioneer and rancher. John Ware was freed from slavery after the Civil War and was hired on a cattle drive from Texas to Idaho. From there he joined a cattle drive to the Bar U Ranch at High River. He soon became a well-known rancher and owner of his own spread on Sheep Creek and the Red Deer River. John Ware was known for his skilled horsemanship and admired for his strength of character. People who knew him personally simply thought of him as a good neighbour.
His brand, 9999, was made famous through courage and hard work. He fought droughts, blizzards, wolves, storms, and rustlers. He was known to walk over the backs of penned steers without fear and exhibited superb horsemanship by taming the wildest broncos. His prodigious strength was demonstrated by stopping steers head-on and wrestling them to the ground. He would trip a horse by hand and hold it on its back to be shoed, and he was known to lift an eighteen-month-old steer with apparent ease and throw it on its back for branding. The stories of his strength and courage go on and on.
John died in 1905 when his horse stumbled in a badger hole.
Time Allowance: 1 - 4 hours
Ask your students to:
1. Write an obituary for John Ware as a tribute to his many successes. Instruct your students to refer to specific details and events in his life. Direct them to cut out current obituaries from the newspaper to use as examples. Be sure to include the names of his survivors and important predecessors, highlights of his life, cause of death and any other relevant information. You might also want to include a photograph. (For examples of obituaries, refer to your local newspaper or go to The Globe and Mail.)
2. Choose a character from the video.
- Ware's former slave owner
- Mildred Louis (Ware's wife)
- Lynch, the stockman who hired Ware
- A resident of Calgary
- A neighbour
- Janet or Robert Ware (Ware's children)
- John Ware himself
In small groups, create a dialogue that describes John Ware from the perspective of the selected character. Explain why your character feels this way. Assume the role of the character and present this dialogue to the class.
3. Create a time line of the key events in John Ware's life. Then investigate to see what other major events in North American history were taking place at that time and analyze how these major events had an impact on John Ware's life. Based on these events, ask students to assume the persona of Ware and write entries for a diary or journal of the adventures, experiences, and challenges he faced.
4. Write a short John Ware adventure story incorporating some facts from the video with fiction you create. You are writing historical fiction.
5. Cowboys are figures that today are often glorified. Divide the class in half, assigning each half the title 'Pro' or 'Con.' Instruct each side to independently brainstorm and create a list of the positive and negative aspects of life as a cowboy. Facilitate a large group debate to determine whether the life of a cowboy is or ever was a desired career choice.
6. On a map of North America outline the approximate route John Ware travelled to get to Canada. Start with his place of birth, include the land he covered while driving cattle, and end with his final destination. To present a good visual display, use coloured pencils or string to outline his route.
7. Write the term "hero" on the board, form students into groups of 3 or 4. Now ask the groups to create a mind map by writing eight or ten features they associate with this term. Then create a mind map for John Ware. Be sure to include headings such as character and accomplishments. Use these two mind maps to assess the life and career of John Ware then conduct a class discussion to decide if John Ware is in fact a hero.
8. As a class listen to some music sung by cowboys during this period. In groups, determine if this reveals anything about the lifestyle of these cattlemen.
9. Have students create their own brands for a cattle herd. The brand must represent something about the student and his or her history.
10. Split the class into small groups. Some groups will create a poster advertising to immigrants about the availability of lands for homesteads in the Canadian West. The other groups will create a poster by ranchers that argues why homesteaders should not move into the territory. The class should then take on the roles of potential homesteaders, government officials, and ranchers to debate whether Canada's West should be opened up for farming.
11. Brainstorm what the students know about the "Wild West." The teacher could show clips from Western movies that play on the stereotypes about the "Wild West." Through research of primary sources, students could find out if Canada really had a "Wild West," and what it was really like. Students can then create a skit or video to share with the rest of the class to show an aspect of "Wild West" life.
12. Research one aspect of the experience of African-Canadians in Canadian history. Ideas could include Africville in Nova Scotia, the underground railway, and particular individuals. Students would then create bulletin board displays about the topic they researched in order to share the information they have gathered with other students.
13. Create a collection of current articles regarding ranching and agriculture. Use this information to see how agriculture and ranching practices and concerns have changed over time. For example, examine how disease among herds is controlled today, compared to how disease affected herds in the past.

Kate Upton Wows Fans With Unretouched Beach Photoshoot
Kate Upton, who rose to fame in 2011, has never been shy for the camera, gracing the cover of multiple magazines like Sports Illustrated and Vanity Fair. The famous model gave birth to her first child with Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander not even a year ago and yet, in a stand against photoshop, decided to take part in a photoshoot au naturel - free of any retouches or airbrushing. She calls it a 'step toward embracing real life'.
It's no secret that celebrities don't always look the same way in reality compared to what we're presented with online and in magazines. Between surgery and photoshop, they've got the means to ensure that they've got full control over their image.
Models make their living off of their image, so if anyone knows the struggle that they go through day in and day out with maintaining their public image, it's Kate Upton. After bursting on to the scene in 2011, Upton saw a meteoric rise to the top of the modelling world posing multiple times for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and gracing the cover of the 100th-anniversary edition of Vanity Fair.
She's even made the transition to acting, starring in multiple films like The Layover with Alexandra Daddario, and The Other Woman with Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.
Kate Upton on feminism and photo leaks
Kate Upton has always been vocal about her feelings regarding empowerment, feminism and the perception of women in society. Following the private photo leak in 2014 of celebrities like herself, Jennifer Lawrence, Rihanna, Kaley Cuoco, Brie Larson and Kim Kardashian, she spoke to the difficulty of living with social media in this day and age and receiving the harsh judgement of strangers.
This Mum Lost 10 Stone By Adopting These 6 Golden Rules
'It's an invasion of my privacy and it's not OK. It's illegal,' Upton said in an interview with London Evening Standard. 'People don't have a right to look at those photos or to judge them.'

According to a new report from Parks Associates, ownership of digital health and wellness devices in the United States -- especially fitness trackers -- is steadily climbing. And, the report contends, reports of widespread abandonment of fitness trackers are greatly exaggerated.
Parks spoke with 5,000 US broadband households and found that 33 percent have adopted a digital health technology, up from 26 percent in 2014. Connected fitness trackers in particular had a 10 percent market penetration in 2015, while smartwatches, still a relatively new category, hit 4 percent.
From the article "Parks: Only 12 percent of fitness tracker users have cut back usage" by Jonah Comstock.


It seems like every day we get new information about the 2016 Toyota Prius. After the design specs and fuel efficiency specs were released a day ago, we now have the information regarding what will power up the 2016 Prius.
For starters, under the hood, the 2016 Prius will feature the same 1.8-liter four cylinder Atkinson-cycle engine from the previous version. However, the fourth generation of the 2016 Prius will have completely re-engineered engine and will work in a different way. The output is still the same, as the engine is producing 98 ponies under the hood and 105lbs of torque.
What Toyota has done is to change the intake ports of the engine, increase the capacity of the exhaust-recirculation system and change the oil into a lower-viscosity oil, added new and redesigned coolant passages and much more. All these subtle changes have resulted in a more efficient and powerful engine.
For the electric motor, Toyota has decided to lower the size of the motor, which results in lowered weight. The electric motor can now be fitted within a small transmission case. However, the result is also fewer ponies under the hood, as it now produces 71hp and 120lbs of torque. The previous, third generation of the Prius, produced 80hp and 153lbs of torque.
However, since Toyota has reduced the size and weight of the electric motor, the company has now changed the position of the battery, moving it beneath the rear seats. The move has opened the possibility for Toyota to offer the all-wheel drive as an optional mode for the 2016 Prius. The all-wheel drive system is called E-four and uses another electric motor for the rear axle. The second electric motor produces 71 ponies and 41lbs of torque. While the all-wheel drive is nothing close to the "ludicrous" package that comes from Tesla, it is still a nice addition.
Now, for those who want more aggressive and sporty driving style, Toyota also offers the Power mode. It is a standard mode that once detects aggressive throttle inputs; it shifts the vehicle to implement sportier acceleration. And in order to be able to get sportier deceleration as well, something that was a problem with the hybrid systems, the engineers at Toyota changed the ECU software. The result is that the software now delivers greater low-rpm kick. A new hydraulic booster has also been added to address the braking of the vehicle.
All these changes are made under the hood, but Toyota has also changed how the interior will work in the 2016 Prius. Some of the fancy additions are the heating for the steering wheel, as well as the system of the climate control. According to the company, the 2016 Toyota Prius will direct air only to passengers in seats through the automatic climate control.

Q: Display Search Results by tag_ID in my search.php I have my search.php working fine. But I'd like to display the search results in my search.php filtered by tag_ID when is coming from another search form. I've tried several things like: wp_parse_str, new WP_Query( {parameters here} ), etc. Basically I don't know how to modify the query :(
How can I modify the main query in order to do that?
Thank you very much for your help!
PD: I've been reading several post here but no one answered my question.
This is my form code:
<form role="search" method="get" class="form-inline cp-form-search search-form" action="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>">
<input type="search" id="s" class="search-field form-control p-2"  placeholder="<?php echo esc_attr_x( 'Search '.$venue_archive_title, 'placeholder' ); ?>" aria-label="Search" value="<?php echo get_search_query(); ?>" name="s">
                    <input type="hidden" value="restaurants" name="venue_type_search" id="venue_type_search" />
                    <input type="hidden" value="title" name="orderby" id="orderby" />
                    <input type="hidden" value="ASC" name="order" id="order" />
                    <button type="submit"><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/assets/images/search-white.svg" height="22"></button>
                </form>

I'd like to trigger the new query with my "venue_type_search" hidden input.
Thanks!

A: Filter it using pre_get_posts, like this:
function searchfilter($query) {
    if ($query->is_search && !is_admin() ) {
        if(isset($_GET['venue_type_search'])) {
            $venue_type = $_GET['venue_type_search'];

            $query->set('tag',array($venue_type));

        }
    }
    return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts','searchfilter');

At Bravoure we work according to the Scrum methodology, which is part of the Agile movement. With Scrum, projects are split up into smaller, more manageable iterations, called sprints. This gives the team a framework for delivering products quickly and efficient. We love how it raises the quality of our work, intensifies the relationship with the clients and boosts the spirit of our team.
Sprint is the scrum term for an iteration. At Bravoure a sprint has a repeatable workcycle of mostly two weeks. Within each sprint, the multidisciplinary team builds and tests the prioritised functionalities. When one sprint finishes, another sprint starts. This cycle repeats over and over until the product or MVP is ready for (first) release. Working in sprints allows Bravoure to reduce cost and time to market.

With the space surrounding Earth becoming more congested, Europe and the United States should build upon their history of space cooperation with additional joint efforts to promote responsible behavior in space and ward off dangers to their spacecraft, experts on space policy and hazards urged at a recent meeting.
Enhanced cooperation would better shield satellites against natural and manmade threats, offer solutions to global concerns such as the need for improved navigation systems, and protect "our shared values across the globe and into deep space," David O'Sullivan, European Union (EU) ambassador to the United States, said at the 9 December forum at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C.
One example of cooperation already under way, O'Sullivan noted, involves the EU's Earth observation program Copernicus, which currently has two Sentinel satellites in orbit. In October, the United States and EU agreed to share the Sentinel satellites' data.
If the European Union and the United States can set a navigation satellite system standard, "we are hopeful that will send exactly the right signal to other countries," Margolis said.
Another involves the American GPS system and EU's flight navigation system Galileo, which has 10 satellites in orbit and 2 more scheduled for a 17 December launch. The United States and EU are working closely together on interoperability and compatibility between the systems for civilian and security use, O'Sullivan said.
Alain Ratier, director-general of the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), pointed to another cooperative endeavor, the Initial Joint Polar System, which began in 1998. A 2 December agreement between EUMETSAT and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration extends until 2040 this cooperation on a system of polar-orbiting satellites to provide global weather observations. The EU and United States require autonomy, but "no one can afford independence" when it comes to providing the best weather forecasts and system redundancy, he said.
Security for space-based assets has declined, cautioned François Rivasseau, special envoy for space and head of the security policy division of the European External Action Service. He noted that increases in space debris and microsatellites, as well as in the numbers of countries involved in space, multiply the risks of damage to spacecraft from an accident or attack. He also warned of potential cyberattacks on satellites, which he said could be globally catastrophic. He asked, "Shouldn't we try to have a priority particularly given to the protection of space services and space based assets, considering them as critical infrastructure which, if under attack, could expose vulnerabilities" that could be widely disruptive?
"Shouldn't we try to have a priority particularly given to the protection of space services and space-based assets, considering them as critical infrastructure?" Rivasseau asked.
The United States and EU also cooperate by using Earth observations from space to mitigate hazards, thereby improving security, said Frank Kelly, director of the U.S. Geological Survey Earth Resources Observation and Science Center. Kelly noted that a collaboration among space agencies, called the International Charter "Space and Major Disasters," provides rapid access to data from 38 satellites to aid emergency responses to disasters such as floods, volcanic eruptions, and missing aircraft. "The combined assets of the EU and the U.S. are the backbone of the charter," said Kelly, who currently chairs the charter's board.

In early August 1889, César Ritz, a Swiss hotelier highly regarded for his exquisite taste, found himself at the Savoy Hotel in London. He had come at the request of Richard D'Oyly Carte, the financier of Gilbert & Sullivan's comic operas, who had modernized theater and was now looking to create the world's best hotel. D'Oyly Carte soon seduced Ritz to move to London with his team, which included Auguste Escoffier, the chef de cuisine known for his elevated, original dishes. The result was a hotel and restaurant like no one had ever experienced, run in often mysterious and always extravagant ways--which created quite a scandal once exposed.
Barr deftly re-creates the thrilling Belle Epoque era just before World War I, when British aristocracy was at its peak, women began dining out unaccompanied by men, and American nouveaux riches and gauche industrialists convened in London to show off their wealth. In their collaboration at the still celebrated Savoy Hotel, where they welcomed loyal and sometimes salacious clients, such as Oscar Wilde and Sarah Bernhardt, Escoffier created the modern kitchen brigade and codified French cuisine for the ages in his seminal Le Guide culinaire, which remains in print today, and Ritz, whose name continues to grace the finest hotels across the world, created the world's first luxury hotel. The pair also ruffled more than a few feathers in the process. Fine dining would never be the same--or more intriguing.
LUKE BARR is the author of the New York Times bestselling Provence, 1970. Raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and Switzerland, Barr attended Harvard College and was formerly the features editor at Travel + Leisure magazine. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife and their two daughters.
"A thrilling story of how an outsider—a Swiss peasant—instructed 19th century aristocrats, celebrities, politicians, and plutocrats how to live and, in doing so, single-handedly defined modern luxury. Luke Barr's incandescent narrative is as smooth and seductive as the service at the Ritz."
