Mansour
–Despite being outweighed by 35 pounds, the 6-foot-1 Amir Mansour furiously attacked the 6-foot-7 Dominic Breazeale from the opening bell, twice rocking him with second-round left crosses.
–Mansour floored Breazeale with a booming third-round right hook to the head, but the taller man got to his feet, weathered a follow-up flurry and delivered a late, head-swiveling right uppercut just prior to the bell.
–After losing the first three rounds on all three cards, Breazeale finally mounted a sustained attack in the fourth and hurt Mansour badly in the fifth with a left-uppercut, right-hand combination. Sitting in his corner after the fifth, Mansour complained that he couldn't close his mouth and retired on his stool, giving Breazeale a fifth-round stoppage win.
Dominic Breazeale had vowed "fireworks from the opening bell, punch for punch, round for round" in advance of Saturday's 10-round heavyweight clash with southpaw Amir Mansour at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The 2012 U.S. Olympian's prognostication came true—just not in the manner he expected. Despite significant advantages in height, reach and age, the 30-year-old Breazeale was outhustled and repeatedly rocked over the first two rounds by the 43-year-old Mansour.
Then in the third round, Breazeale was floored by a booming right hook to the head, and it looked like the 6-foot-7 boxer was destined for his first defeat.
But Breazeale finally picked things up in the fourth and rallied over the final minute of the fifth, matching Mansour blow for blow and badly hurting his 6-foot-1 opponent with a jarring left-uppercut, right-hand combination.
That two-punch assault appeared to damage Mansour's jaw, and as the sixth round was about to begin, Mansour complained to his cornerman that he couldn't close his mouth. When he refused to answer the bell for the sixth, referee Raul Caiz Sr. waved off the bout.
The injury to Mansour (22-2-1, 16 KOs) saved Breazeale (17-0, 15 KOs), as he trailed 48-46, 48-46 and 49-45 at the time of the stoppage. Despite his eight-inch reach advantage, Breazeale was outlanded in overall punches, 73-69.

Jan 23, 2016 / Breazeale vs Mansour, Dominic Breazeale, Amir Mansour
Dominic Breazeale gains crushing victory over Amir Mansour to remain unbeaten
Dominic Breazeale had to overcome early adversity, but he powered up to pass a stiff test against veteran heavyweight Amir Mansour.
Dominic Breazeale ready to use his size to his advantage in heavyweight clash with Amir Mansour
Dominic Breazeale has done some impressive things in his 30 years on this planet: qualified for the Olympics in 2012, scoring a trip to the White House and a photo op with President Barack Obama as a result; successfully gone from a college football quarterback to a pro boxer despite limited amateur experience; and established himself as a top prospect in a resurgent crop of American heavyweights. Last, but not least, he's just referred to a 6-foot-1, 218-pound man as "little."
Dominic Breazeale returns to old trainer for new focus on high-octane offense
His fists used to be like the DMV, or psychotherapists in the presence of Gary Busey: busy, always.


OK, I know we said we were not going to talk about this any more, but no sooner was last episode posted, than The Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia came out with a statement of Masonic principles designed to distance themselves from the Grand Lodges like Georgia and Tennessee that are actively discriminating against men based on sexual orientation. In this episode, a quick one, I share with you what I found and comment on some reader comments made to Chris Hodapp's Freemasons for Dummies blog. The comments can be found here.

Onchi Kōshirō (; geb. 2. Juli 1891; gest. 3. Juni 1955) war ein japanischer Holzschnittkünstler und Bucheinband-Gestalter. Er war der erste Japaner, der sich mit abstrakter Kunst beschäftigte, war Mitbegründer und zentrale Figur der Sōsaku-hanga-Bewegung.

Leben
Onchi war der Sohn eines Juristen am Kaiserlichen Hofamt, der auch als Kalligraph und China-Kenner hervorgetreten ist. Seine Mutter war eine begabte Koto-Spielerin. Ab 1904 besuchte Kōshirō die Doitsugaku kyōkai gakkō, eine Schule mit Deutsch im Mittelpunkt, da er auf Wunsch des Vaters Arzt werden sollte. Er verließ aber 1909 die Schule, die ihm auch deutsche Kultur vermittelt hatte, besuchte die Malschule der Hakubakai, und freundete sich mit Takehisa Yumeji an. 1910 begann er ein Kunst-Studium an der Tōkyō bijutsu gakkō (heute Geidai), brach aber 1915 sein Studium ab. Bereits 1914 hatte er mit dem früh verstorbenen Tanaka Kyōkichi () und Fujimori Shizuo () begonnen, die Künstlerzeitschrift Tsukuhae (, "Mondglanz") herauszugeben. 1918 war er an der Gründung der Künstlervereinigungen Nihon sōsaku hanga kyōkai beteiligt.

1938 war Onchi beteiligt an der breit gefassten Nihon hanga kyōkai, ab 1939 traf man sich in seiner "Gesellschaft am ersten Donnerstag". Er bemühte sich sein ganzes Leben um die Förderung, Verbreitung und internationale Anerkennung der japanischen Holzschnittkunst.

Künstlerischer Beitrag
1911 schuf Onchi seinen ersten Bucheinband für ein Buch des Sozialisten Nishikawa Kōjirō. Er beschäftigte sich dann intensiv mit Buchgestaltung, wobei er sowohl an westlicher Typografie als auch an Gestaltung der chinesischen Zeichen interessiert war. Buchgestaltung blieb ein wichtiges Thema in seinem Leben. 1915 schuf er unter dem Eindruck des Todes von Brüdern und Freunden die Serie Joyō (, "Mitgefühl"). 1917 schuf er Illustrationen und den Einband für Hagiwara Sakutarōs Gedichtband Tsuki ni haeru (, "Im Mond leuchten"). Vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg produziert er die Serie "Poems" und begann die Serie "Lyrik", wobei er die Holzschnittplatte mit Stoffen u. a. ergänzte, um die Drucke weiter zu differenzieren. 1934 stellte er in Paris aus, 1936 in Genf und in San Francisco.

Zeit seines Lebens schuf Onchi auch Holzschnitte mit gegenständlichen Motiven.

NHRC asks errant doctors to reply to show-cause
Kendrapara: The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has come to the rescue of a dalit woman, who had been a victim of medical negligence in Orissa.
The NHRC sought a show-cause compliance report from surgeons who forgot to remove cotton material while carrying out a delivery in Kendrapara district headquarters hospital.
Taking cognizance of a petition in this regard, the rights body directed Orissa government agencies earlier this week for compliance of a show-cause reply within four weeks, official sources said.
T Duryodhana Reddy, a Berhampur-based human rights activist, had sought the NHRC?s intervention in the matter and had sought initiation of penal action against the errant doctors.
The patient, Minati Mallick (26) from Mahakalpada area had been admitted to the maternity ward of Kendrapara district headquarters hospital on April 21. When she complained of labour pain, she was shifted to operation theatre in the evening hours. She gave birth to a male child after a minor surgery. On medical advice, the mother and the new-born was discharged from hospital ward the next day.

$510,000 colt a new high-water mark for Mastery at Keeneland
Mastery had a new sales-best yearling Thursday at Keeneland September when hip No. 920 brought a winning bid of $510,000, topping his $380,000 colt sold on Tuesday.
Consigned by Indian Creek, agent, for breeder Prescott Farm, the dark bay Kentucky-bred was purchased by Maverick Racing.
The colt is out of the Indian Charlie mare Chuckling, whose dam Pleasant Home won the Breeders' Cup Distaff (G1). Chuckling is a half-sister to Magical World, the dam of the brilliant filly Guarana.
Mastery was undefeated in four starts while racing in the colors of Cheyenne Stables. The son of Candy Ride (ARG) won the Los Alamitos Futurity (G12) and Bob Hope S. (G3) at two, and the San Felipe S. (G2) at three before being retired to stud at Claiborne Farm.

Lonely Planet's Very best in Vacation Checklist 2023
Editor's Note — Indicator up for Unlocking the Earth, CNN Travel's weekly newsletter. Get information about destinations opening, inspiration for upcoming adventures, furthermore the hottest in aviation, foodstuff and drink, where to continue to be and other travel developments.
The 2023 edition is in a slightly distinct structure than it has been in yrs previous. Fairly than a straightforward record, the places are split up into five classes — consume, study, journey, unwind and connect.
"This year, we really preferred to test anything new and we wished to mirror the way that we observed vacationers on the lookout for journey, which was about the place, but also about the knowledge," explains Nitya Chambers, govt editor and senior vice president of information at Lonely Earth.
Editors begin do the job on the list as early as April. Chambers says that — as a lot as they'd like to — not every staffer can take a look at each and every spot on the listing individually.
Rather, she describes, Lonely Earth reaches out to its extensive network of contributors around the planet and asks them to nominate places they consider should really be on the record.
From there, editors at Lonely Earth HQ commence to question a lot more thoughts, function their resources and slender down the alternatives until finally it is unveiled in November.
Chambers sums up the best spot as "envisioned but unpredicted."
That might indicate getting a possibility on a new country, like Malta or Guyana, that all your friends have not been to still. It may possibly imply deciding upon a considerably less-visited spot in a favourite spot, like Marseille somewhat than Paris or Fukuoka in its place of Tokyo. All four spots are amongst the 30 locations of the 2023 list.
The Lonely World journey commenced in 1972 just after Maureen and Tony Wheeler traveled from the Uk to Australia and subsequently released a manual to recreating their overland experience.

It is really no shock that Lima seems as a single of the picks less than the "eat" area of Lonely Planet's list — Peru's cash has been racking up the recognition for several years on the World's 50 Most effective Dining places record.
On the other hand, its South American sibling Montevideo — another "try to eat" entry — is not as substantial profile. Guests to the Uruguyan cash may possibly acknowledge dishes that are well-known elsewhere on the continent, like dulce de leche, asado steaks and yerba mate.
Uruguay is also coming into its personal as a wine vacation spot, with equally reds and whites on give. Additionally it truly is considerably more economical and less crowded than Argentina's Mendoza wine region.
Street food enthusiasts should head to Kuala Lumpur. The capital is a excellent site for an introduction to food from all over Malaysia, like nasi lemak (the unofficial nationwide dish), Penang-design curries and Peranakan classics like fish maw soup.
Meanwhile, it's really hard to come across an Italian cuisine that isn't really beloved.
Stanley Tucci frequented Umbria on an episode of his demonstrate, "Searching for Italy," feasting on black truffles, boar ragu and braised pigeon. It is on Lonely Planet's checklist, way too.
As the environment opened up following lengthy Covid limitations, numerous travelers felt the urge to link or reconnect with others.
1 way to do that is by hunting into our individual backyards.
Boise, the money of Idaho, is home to the largest Basque local community in the globe outdoors of Spain, and make's Lonely Planet's "hook up" checklist. Some local residents still speak the Basque language, learn common dances and make paella large adequate to feed the full town.
In the meantime, on the other facet of the planet, Sydney also makes the listing. The Australian city is known for its welcoming inhabitants, as well as for its attractive beach locations, top rated-notch food scene and … oh yeah, a rather interesting opera household.
Individuals with African heritage may possibly want to head to Accra, Ghana, for their individual perception of relationship. The place, also on the checklist, observed a Yr of Return in 2019, which introduced people from all over the diaspora to Ghana for fellowship and local community.
Just due to the fact the yr handed would not suggest that the sense of connection has gone: Ghana wants to hit a objective of 8 million travelers for every calendar year.
Ghana is a fantastic vacation spot for ecotourism and outdoor tourists — many thanks to its array of wildlife and beautiful shoreline.
The pandemic spurred one more strong wish, too: the strain of performing from residence whilst homeschooling the youngsters over Zoom signifies a lot of travelers just want to consider a long split.
Island destinations, like Jamaica and Dominica in the Caribbean, are just the place to unwind, according to Lonely World.
The previous is substantial on Chambers' individual record for 2023.
"You can find just an opportunity with our little ones in the summer months (to) spend some more time, go immerse and have the experience of living someplace wherever you can truly come to feel transformed and reworked by currently being section of another put."
When 2022's summer time of "revenge travel" may possibly have created it seem like Europe is overtouristed, Malta — yet another "unwind" desired destination — is a lesser-regarded gem with the local climate of Italy and the landscape of the Center East.
And in Asia, the Indonesian archipelago of Raja Ampat may be a person of the last paradises remaining on Earth.
Positioned in the country's West Papua Province, this spot is loved for eco-tourism and is residence to a massively profitable coral restoration project.
Did you start off baking sourdough or discovering a new language through lockdown? If you want to preserve the spirit of finding out alive further than the pandemic, Lonely Planet implies checking out a spot for the sake of deepening your expertise.
These incorporate New Mexico, the US condition nicknamed the "Land of Enchantment," wherever website visitors can understand about the country's Native American record and Spanish heritage whilst feeding on red and green chiles and delicious biscochito cookies.
Going to some of Europe's next cities can develop your horizons as well. In Marseille, learn how to say more than just "merci beaucoup" although sunning by yourself on France's Mediterranean coast. Over in England, Manchester is an underrated cultural place, with artwork galleries, performance spaces and an yearly tradition pageant all on offer.
For New Mexicans, chile just isn't just a meals, it truly is a way of lifestyle. Chiles are so vital, New Mexico is only condition to have an "official" concern, "Crimson or green?"
In the end, no matter if you strike the street in search of a great meal or a breathtaking cityscape, journey is just as a great deal about exploring alongside the way as what's on your itinerary.
With that in brain, Lonely Earth selected six "journey" places, spots for the most wanderlust-y of travelers.
It is no surprise that the central Asian kingdom of Bhutan produced the lower. In 2022, the nation lastly reopened to tourism and unveiled its crown jewel — the Trans-Bhutan trail, which connects nine dzongkhags (districts), 28 gewogs (local governments), two municipalities, just one countrywide park and 400 historic and cultural web sites.
Zambia, one more "journey" destination, could be most effective acknowledged for Victoria Falls, which UNESCO describes as "(plunging) noisily down a collection of basalt gorges and raises an iridescent mist."
But even if the world's most outstanding waterfall just isn't a persuasive rationale to take a look at, the wild range of animal lifestyle — giraffes, elephants, lions, hippos, cheetahs and a lot more — make it a great select for a safari holiday.
This is the full listing of 30 locations:

Istanbul, Turkey to Sofia, Bulgaria
Parque Nacional Naturales, Colombia
Halkidiki, Greece
Raja Ampat, Indonesia
Boise, United states of america
Manchester, British isles

The Beautiful World—and Lone Novelization—of 'Ico'
There was once a novelization of Team Ico's iconic, mostly-silent story of a boy, a girl, and a castle full of puzzles.
by Devin Raposo
Feb 6 2017, 7:00pm
Some stones are better left unturned. In a cluttered age of overstimulation, it's easy to forget naive childhood moments of awe, of greeting the unknown not with a scowl of hesitance but a wide-eyed and jovial "hello!" It's that first time riding a bike without training wheels, or walking out of a dense forest into an open field and finding a single lonesome, dried-up tree amongst a sea of dandelions. It's your first time riding horseback through the three-dimensional, digital plains of Hyrule on a summer's day.
As a player of games, I'm happy that there are still some in the mainstream game industry who strive to elicit bewilderment and reverie. One of these people is Fumito Ueda, the game designer leading a small team at Sony's Japan Studio and later at his own company, genDESIGN, on the loose trilogy of Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and recently The Last Guardian. Their storylines eschew dialogue and employ fairytale archetypes to subvert the player's expectations and ultimately posit deeper questions. How do we fit together, and fit within the world around us?
Ueda and co. build games that are lighter on dialogue and plot, preferring instead to create atmosphere and character through gesture, action, and art direction. None of these screams "novelization," but in 2004, popular Japanese author Miyuki Miyabe made an attempt, with the story and world from Ico.
The novel bears the subtitle Castle in the Mist and weaves the thin characters and plot of the PlayStation 2 cult classic into a dense fantasy epic. I'm not here to make fun of what sounds a bit like a doomed project: instead, I want to interrogate the work.
Whereas the game starts in medias res with Ico on horseback, travelling toward a mysterious castle, Miyabe's book begins a little slower. It starts in Toksa Village, where young Ico lives with his foster parents, Oneh and the village elder. The elder has become consumed with guilt over his role in the upcoming Time of the Sacrifice, wherein the cursed sacrifice born of horns must be offered up to the titular Castle in the Mist. He was trained by his father to imprison Ico as the time for offering draws nearer, and now must grapple with the realities of what he's allowing to happen to such a young boy.

Ico has a best friend, Toto. Both are regular young boys who enjoy climbing trees and getting into all sorts of trouble. Some villagers here are soldiers, some are farmers; some just keep watch over the village. Oneh is a seamstress, weaving thread with a loom to make clothing for her village; she, too, has a family beyond those immediately present in the village.
The people here have thoughts and feelings, desires for the future. The village is all but a real place, inhabited by real people with lives to live. Miyabe, much like Ueda and his team, pays a lot of attention to the finer details irrelevant to the main story beats, though here in a different way. All this is to say nothing of Yorda's own—far heftier—backstory in the castle town. Here, she's far from the timid AI character that players had to protect, guide, and basically use as a puzzle-solving tool in the game.
It's clear that Miyabe was interested in appropriating the world of Ico to tell a relatively bog-standard fantasy tale of aristocracy, conflict, magic, demons, and gods. But when looked at in the broader context of what the original Ico was and represented, Castle in the Mist is rather perplexing.
The book frequently gets bogged down with lengthy explanations on the minutia of the castle and the villages surrounding it. Its lengthy interior monologues and over-explanations fly in the face of director Ueda's much-lauded "design by subtraction" ethos. This states that all superfluous elements of a game's design—whether they be mechanical, visual or aural—should be removed so as to distill the feelings governing a work down to their very essence.
There's nothing inherently wrong with Miyabe's grander approach to storytelling here. I'm a huge fan of authors like Thomas Pynchon and Upton Sinclair who aren't afraid to dive deep with their writing and storytelling styles, frequently going off on tangents to tackle bigger points.
Still, there is a particular aesthetic sensibility and narrative style to Ico—it's a big part of why it's remembered so fondly to this day. In leveraging the characters and world of Ico for a book, Miyabe delivers something antithetical to the source text's intentions. Maybe my expectations approaching the book were a tad unrealistic, but they weren't unfounded. The desire to recapture the feeling of playing Ico and Shadow for the first time will always drive me towards hope.
The fundamentalist in me says that this book didn't really need to exist. Yet in my head there's room, somewhere, for a novelization of this world and its people.
Where it stands, Ico: Castle in the Mist is a middling attempt to put a Tolkien or Song of Ice and Fire-esque fantasy spin on the original. As a critic, I can't help but balk at its over-explanations and general cruft. As a fan, I'm left disappointed that, while the book tried to do something interesting—with an approach to sequels and re-imaginings I'm generally fond of—it couldn't replicate those innate feelings of wonder and awe so core to the game.
I want an interrogating love-letter that is firm but reverent of the source material, not a pandering retelling with too many adjectives. The book's cover mirrors the Giorgio de Chirico-inspired original used for the game's Japanese and European release, but it feels more like the game that people who saw the much-maligned US cover probably imagined. I really just wanted a book that captured the essence, the eerie feeling that you too were there.
Fumito Ueda

New Zealand former cricketer Chris Cairns not sure he will walk again after spinal stroke

Former New Zealand all-rounder Chris Cairns is not sure he will walk again, but says he is lucky to be alive after suffering a spinal stroke following life-saving treatment for a torn artery in August.
Cairns was hospitalised after a heart attack, and later had a stroke following surgery
The 51-year-old says he "has made his peace" with not walking again
Several friendships have been rekindled after his brush with death
The stroke left the 51-year-old paralysed from the waist down.
"I don't know if I'll ever walk again and I have made my peace with that," Cairns told the Daily Telegraph.
"It's now about understanding I can lead a full and enjoyable life in a wheelchair but at the same time knowing it will be different."
Cairns suffered a heart attack in August that resulted in an aortic dissection — a rupture of the aorta, which is the main artery that carries blood from the heart.
He was rushed into emergency surgery.
Chris Cairns in hospital in Sydney
Melanie Cairns says her husband, New Zealand cricket legend Chris, has undergone further cardiovascular surgery in hospital in Sydney after collapsing.
Cairns played 62 tests, 215 one-day internationals and two Twenty20 matches for New Zealand between 1989-2006.
After retiring from international cricket, he was accused of involvement in match fixing in India while captaining the Chandigarh Lions in the defunct Indian Cricket League in 2008.
He denied wrongdoing and fought several legal battles to clear his name, winning a libel case against former Indian Premier League chairman Lalit Modi in 2012.
In 2015, Cairns was cleared of perjury in relation to the libel case after being charged by Britain's Crown Prosecution Service, where two of his former team mates, Brendon McCullum and Lou Vincent, testified against him.
Cairns said his brush with death had given him a chance to rebuild relationships.
"There have been relationships which … have fractured that have been reignited on the back of a new perspective on life. It is almost like everybody has moved on, which has been heart-warming," he said.
"It was good of Brendon to wish me well. There is no direct contact between us but the fact he did that was very decent of him."
