At the launch in Arusha, Tanzania where he was joined by FIFA President, Gianni Infantino, leading African football clubs, African and European football legends, the President and Representatives of the CAF's 54 Member Associations.
The CAF President described the Africa Super League as a historical gamechanger that will make African football globally competitive and self-sustaining.
President Motsepe said: "This is one of the most exciting projects in the history of African football and will significantly contribute to the development and growth of the quality and competitiveness of football in Africa."
The President of FIFA, Gianni Infantino said: "As FIFA President, I am happy to witness such a historic moment of this exciting football project to boost and improve club football in Africa."
"African club football needs to be brought to the next level and to do that, it is important to be innovative and to have new ideas, while fully respecting the existing institutional framework."
"The Africa Super League, built within the international football pyramid structure, is a project which will make African club football shine in Africa and beyond."
Dr Motsepe stated that: "The Africa Super League would contribute to ensuring that football on the African Continent is managed and operated at the same professional, ethical and governance level as UEFA, CONMEBOL, CONCACAF and other Confederations".
The Prize money of the Africa Super League will be USD 100 million, with the winner receiving USD 11.5 million.
Some of the funding from the Africa Super League will be used to allocate USD 1 million per annum to each of CAF's 54 Member Countries, which is a total of USD 54 million per annum to develop football in all the African countries.
CAF will also receive USD 50 million per annum to develop football for boys and girls, to employ world-class staff, to improve and to make all its other competitions attractive and appealing to football spectators, TV viewers, sponsors and other partners.
The Africa Super League will support the growth of club football, the construction and maintenance of football infrastructure and facilities, as well as the training and the retention of football talent on the African Continent.

A Divided Nation
by BrookeValenzuela
Social Studies Subject:
History Chapter 14
Mexican Cession:In 1848 the war between Mexico and the United States ended with the Treaty of Guadalope which gave the United States the much of the northern territory. This territory was the Mexican Cession
Fugitave Slave Act:Under this act, it was a crime to help runaway slaves and allowed officials to arrest the slaves who lived in free states.
Kansas Nebraska Act:This act divided the rest of the Louisiana purchase. The divided territory made Kansas and Nebraska. These states allowed the people to decide slavery.
Election of 1860:during the elction of 1860 there were may different canidates, John B. Breckinridge, Stephan Douglas, John Bell, and Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln won the election and became president. Southerner were angered by this. They felt they were losing their national political power.
The South Secedes:Angered by Lincoln's ideas to not allowing slavery to expand, the south- especially South Carolina-decided to secede from the United States. They formed the Confederate States of America including Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas.
The Compromise of 1850:After disputes about whether california would enter the united states as a free or slave state, a comprmise was established. It stated that califorinia would enter as free state,but the rest of the Mexico cession would become a free or slave state depending on popular sovereignty.
Dred Scott Decision:A slave named Dred scott belived he was free because he lived in a free state. by the end of the case the chief justic, roger b taney, concluded scott was not a citizen under the constitution, not a free slave because he returned to the slave state he lived in, and last he was considered property. Also he stated congress have no right to ban slavery.
Back in the time of slavery many people believed it wasn't unjustified act, but there were many- mainly in the south- that supported slavery. Because of this division in opinions many antislavery and proslavery supporters were seperated. This difference in opinion led to many problematic events thateventually divided our nation.

Национа́ль () — гостиница в Киеве, построенная архитектором Владимиром Николаевым в 1876 году. Находилась на месте нынешнего здания кинотеатра «Орбита» по Крещатику, 29/1. По праву считалась одним из самых красивых зданий старого Крещатика.

История
Уже в 1830-е известный архитектор Викентий Беретти содержал на этом месте небольшой двухэтажный отель (в 1845 году здесь останавливался Николай Костомаров, а в 1846 году — Тарас Шевченко). В 1876 году по проекту Владимира Николаева вместо старого здания был возведен трехэтажный дом по заказу очередного владельца особняка — купца Марра. Здание замыкало улицу Крещатик и вторым своим фасадом выходила на Бессарабскую площадь.

Отель отличался оригинальностью форм. Упор делался на четырёхэтажном углу сооружения, в противоположность трём, что смотрели на Крещатик и Бессарабку. Таким образом зодчий очень удачно подчеркнул и архитектурно решил важную развязку центральных улиц города. Первый этаж здания арендовали магазины, а два верхних этажа занимала гостиница «Националь», первым владельцем которого был предприниматель Шульц. Хотя отель постоянно менял владельцев и название, называясь то «Национальным», то «Большим национальным», то просто «Националь», это не мешало его репутацию одного из лучших в городе. С 1906 года в помещении гостиницы действовал кинотеатр «Електробиограф».

Здание гостиницы «Националь» было уничтожено, вместе со всем Крещатиком, во время серии спланированных взрывов в 1941 году. Как раз тогда советская армия заминировала большую часть Крещатика и других важных зданий Киева, чтобы можно было взорвать их в случае наступления немецких войск.

New Centre for Early Life to be launched at University of Warwick
The first building blocks of our lives are to be explored by a new research centre at the University of Warwick, starting from before we are even conceived right up to the age of five years old.
The new Centre for Early Life launched on 31 July and builds on the University's existing expertise in early life research by aiming to pioneer research into the formative factors in our lives.
The Centre brings together experts from across the University of Warwick, including Warwick Medical School, the Institute of Digital Healthcare, Warwick Mathematics Institute, and the Departments of Chemistry, Computer Science, Psychology, and Statistics.
With an extensive roster of world-class researchers at the University of Warwick, the centre aims to deliver real-world impact on the health and wellbeing of women and their babies by tackling major reproductive, pregnancy, and early childhood disorders.
The scope of the centre starts before pregnancy with research into parenthood planning, egg and sperm production, early embryo development, crosses all key events in pregnancy, including implantation, placenta development, and birth, and extends to research into physical and mental health disorders in the first five years of life.
Partnering with industry and the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust, the Centre will accelerate the development of new clinical tests and treatments and support education and training of healthcare staff.
Professor Siobhan Quenby, Co-director of the new Centre and Honorary Consultant at University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust, said: "Improving health outcomes for women and children remains a global challenge. I am therefore so excited that here at the University of Warwick we now have a centre committed to developing and implementing novel solutions by leveraging the many recent advances across different academic disciplines, including midwifery, computer science, engineering, mathematics, chemistry, statistics, psychology and medicine."
Professor Jan Brosens, Co-director of the new Centre and Consultant in Reproductive Health at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust, said: "Progress in preventing adverse pregnancy outcomes and improving lifelong health of women and their babies has been inexcusably slow in recent decades. By bringing together top academics with an exceptional range of skill sets, the Centre is poised to drive innovation in reproductive healthcare in the UK."
Professor Sudhesh Kumar OBE, Dean of Warwick Medical School, said: "Warwick Medical School has long had a wealth of expertise examining pregnancy, women's health and the psychological and physical wellbeing of young people. The University also hosts world class researchers from a range of disciplines who bring valuable perspectives to our excellent research in cell and development. I am delighted that, in establishing the Centre for Early Life, this expertise will be brought together in a truly collaborative effort to tackle the challenges of arguably the most important and most formative period of our lives."
Researchers joining the new Centre for Early Life bring with them extensive backgrounds in researching relevant areas, such as recent research using cutting-edge volatile organic compound analysis technology to spot potential preterm birth in asymptomatic high-risk women.

Do not be fooled by those old high school class rings that contain synthetic Spinel, into thinking this is the flagship for all Spinel: this could not be further from the truth. Beauty, rarity, value and brilliance make natural Spinel a great addition to anyone's collection. As public awareness increases, Spinel prices continue to rise. In fact, discovery of new deposits in Tanzania bring very hefty price tags, especially 'Candy Apple Red'. This is a great time to invest in this gem of a gem!

Kamala Was NOT Actually In The Second Class To Integrate Berkeley Schools
Patrick Howley
Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris' claim that she was "part of the second class to integrate her public schools" is not accurate.
Harris made the assertion in the Democrat presidential debate, in which she took aim at former segregation proponent Joe Biden.
Harris, rocked by scandal involving her association with race hoaxer Jussie Smollett and for covering up illegal wiretapping during her time as California attorney general, is straining to be racially relevant despite her past career as a prosecutor contributing to mass incarceration.
She strained too far with her debate claim.
The Sacramento Bee fact-checks: "While it's true she was among the second class of students at Thousand Oaks Elementary School to participate in a fully integrated busing program, she was far from the first black child to attend the school.
Data from the Berkeley Unified School District shows the school had 15 black students in 1963 — a year before Harris was born. They represented 3% of the total elementary school student body, while other schools in the district had a black population as high as 97%.
A fierce advocate of integration, Neil Sullivan moved to California 1964 to take over as superintendent. In the subsequent years, a task force reported to him to address the de facto segregation in the community.
In 1967, Sullivan's team drafted a plan for all elementary schools to have black representation between 35% and 45%. By that time, the district had already desegregated its secondary schools — grades 7 to 12.
Black representation had grown slightly in the early-1960s. By 1967, the district considered its schools to be "partially desegregated," but still "making progress toward racial integration," according to documents obtained by The Sacramento Bee. The records show one in ten students at Thousand Oaks Elementary School in 1967 were black…
After a pilot program and the launch of a formal busing program that fall, the schools had been more evenly divided. During the first year of the program — a year before Harris arrived in 1969 — black enrollment jumped from 10% to 37%. The district's data shows an increase in black representation at Thousand Oaks from 37% to 41% by the end of Harris's first year of school."
Sacramento Bee passage ends
Fox News Ratings Crater, Trailing CNN and MSNBC for First Time in 21 Years
A brutal collapse over the past two-and-a-half months.
Recent data from Nielsen shows that Fox News finished behind both CNN and MSNBC in ratings to open the month of January.
This is the first time in twenty-one years that that has happened, according to Daily Wire.
Nielsen's ratings data shows that CNN finished number one among cable news networks with approximately 2.8 million viewers per day from January 4 through January 10, including 4.2 million in primetime.
MSNBC came in second with 2.3 million viewers per day and 3.8 million in primetime. And in third was Fox News with 1.7 million viewers per day and 3.2 million in primetime.
This is tough data for the conservative-leaning network. Over the past couple decades Fox has become accustomed to completely dominating the ratings, oftentimes receiving more viewership than CNN and MSNBC combined. Several factors contribute to the fall of Fox, including but not limited to:
The death of Roger Ailes in 2017 and subsequent changes in network leadership
Their disastrous Election Night coverage on November 3
Donald Trump's loss to Joe Biden
An ostensible effort to distance themselves from Trump
A real or perceived softening of their conservatism in general
Trump's public irritation with the network, to the point of telling people to migrate over to Newsmax and One America News Network (OANN)
Fox News has recently announced lineup changes as well. This is standard practice in the cable news industry and may not have much to do with their suffering ratings, though there's a likely possibility that it does. Fox will be adding an hour-long opinion show in place of Martha MacCallum's news show "The Story," which had fallen behind both CNN and MSNBC's 7pm timeslots after a stretch of being "comfortably ahead in ratings." The network will also shuffle some of their daytime lineup.
As Joe Biden works through his first 100 days as president, it will be interesting to see how Fox News continues to perform, not only in comparison with CNN and MSNBC, but also with OANN and Newsmax.


This is the 5th and final point of the 5 points of Calvinism and of the teaching tool TULIP.
Keeping the previous points in mind, P points to how an individual that is part of the elect will not fall away. In other words, they won't lose their faith. They will persevere through every obstacle to the very end of life.
This perseverance does not come from the elected believer but from God. The work he does in the believer is effective such that they will not fall away from Him despite that it may appear as only barely making it through.
As this perseverance is ultimately from God, some would reword P to stand for "Preservation of the saints" as God is effectively preserving every follower of Him. I would admit that I prefer this wording as it appears to put the emphasis of staying in the faith of Jesus Christ back in line with the idea of being elect and a work of God. Perseverance seems to tilt toward the elected individual doing everything which Scripture does not show to be accurate. Yes, every believer takes an active part in their walk in Him, but it would never come to be without Him nor would the necessary changes have come that keep us in Him.
T U L I P, 'I' being Irresistible for Irresistible Grace.
This is my favorite as it is through God's grace extended to us that we even come to Him. It is through this extended grace that we become empowered to saving faith, without which we would only choose to continue in our depravity.
So what about the irresistible part?
This adjective connects us back to God's election of those who come to Him. It is by His irresistible grace that God effectively calls the elect to Him. Now, this is Not some sort of mesmerizing effect or anything like that (the kind that would force an individual to come to faith in God) but an influencing pull that eventually overcomes all resistance. For some people, their resistance to God is overcome early in life while others later.
The point is that if a person is one of God's elect, His irresistible grace will prove one day to be truly irresistible to that person. At which point, they will acknowledge God as the Lord of their lives and come to saving faith.
The third point is often most contentious bringing about two groups, the 4-pointers and the 5-pointers. The 4-point Calvinist would reject limited atonement whereas the 5-point accept it.
The point of contention is on whether or not the atonement for sin paid by Christ's death was effectively paid for all or was just paid for those who are the elect. All would agree that Christ was more than able to pay for the sins of all; however, only the elect effectively come to salvation.
What am I referring to with the word 'atonement'? Well, thinking back to T for total depravity, mankind has become totally depraved and is focused on self first and foremost. As we see throughout the old testament, to make restitution for these sins, blood had to be regularly spilled. These sacrifices were but a foretaste of the ultimate sacrifice given in Jesus Christ. His sacrifice was enough to be the final sacrifice, an atonement for sins.
Limited atonement (a.k.a. particular atonement) states that this atonement made by Christ's death was only for the elect as they are the only ones who effectively come to saving faith in Jesus Christ.
Now, I point out the points of contention because I have no intention of being dogmatic and I don't want people to think that somehow one side or another is the true Christian and the other not. Both the 4-pointer and the 5-pointer are true Christians despite how we may argue one of the two to be inconsistent. These points summarized in TULIP show the inner workings of salvation as we find them in the Scriptures. None of us needed to understand these things to become true believers in Him. Even so, it is not Christ's desire for us to remain ever infants in the faith. Always seek out God's truth and grow in maturity (1 Cor. 14:20), but always remember to be compassionate and far from legalism (e.g. reducing faith down to works-centered following of rules and a pride that looks down its nose at all who do not appear to follow – the Pharisees of Christ's time are great examples).

Russian Church against compromise on belief-preaching with Catholics - Metropolitan Kirill
Moscow, January 21, Interfax - There can be no room for any compromises on belief-preaching issues in the dialogue between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church, Metropolitan Kirill, the Moscow Patriarchate Locum Tenens, said in an interview published in the Argumenty i Fakty weekly on Wednesday.
"The Roman Catholic Church's position on many issues of social life is closer to the Orthodox point of view [than that of the Protestants]. Anyway, we bear in mind a whole range of differences in the belief-preaching and practice of the Orthodox and Catholic Churches. No compromises can be made in this area," he said.
As for the Russian Church's relations with foreign faiths, "all parties are aware of all existing fundamental differences," Metropolitan Kirill said. "And the very fact of our dialogue does not mean that we seek to become a single entity," he said.
"For instance, Russia maintains relations with the U.S., but it by no means seeks to become one of the American states," he added.
Differences in the belief-preaching and religious practice of the Orthodox Church and foreign faiths "are now growing," Metropolitan Kirill said. "Relations have completely been severed" with some of the Protestant communities - the Lutheran Church of Sweden and the U.S. Episcopal Church - "because of their official approval of homosexuals," he said.
The Orthodox Church is "that One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church through which God opens the road toward eternal life," he said.

Zinnwaldita és el nom amb què es coneix un grup de minerals del grup de la mica trioctaedral, de la classe dels silicats. Aquest grup rep el seu nom de la localitat de Zinnwald, entre Alemanya i la República Txeca.

Característiques
La zinnwaldita és considerada una sèrie de solució sòlida entre la siderofil·lita i la polilitionita, amb una fórmula entre KFe2+₂Al(Al₂Si₂O10)(OH)₂ i KLi₂Al(Si₄O10)(F,OH)₂. Pertany al grup mica de minerals. En exfoliar-se, les làmines són flexibles i elàstiques, pel que un cop doblegades tendeixen a recuperar la seva forma original. Els bells exemplars són molt cobejats pels col·leccionistes per la seva escassetat i raresa.

Formació i jaciments
És un mineral de formació neumatolítica que apareix en roques pegmatites hidrotermals del granit, en el mateix ambient que poden formar la cassiterita i el topazi. Els minerals més típicament associats a aquest mineral són quars, apatita, feldespat i altres minerals metàl·lics. Hi ha importants jaciments a Cornualla (Anglaterra), Saxònia (Alemanya) i a Califòrnia. És explotat en mines per a l'obtenció industrial de liti.
