I have had loads of people asking about how to get their work published, this has come from fellow photographers, models, make up artists, stylists and designers. So I thought I would write a post about the best ways to get your work seen and published.
I am going to split them into two areas Direct and In-Direct. Direct is you actively approaching the magazines, indirect is being found by them.
One great way to get in front of magazine is to attend trade fairs, taking along a printed version of your portfolio. You never know who may be there, but just make sure that you attend the right fairs, there is no point in attending the Ideal Home Show if you do fashion photography. Also remember to take some business cards with you to give to anyone you meet.
Also as you now how to use the internet you can research magazine websites online and contact them directly, find email addresses of editors, art departments, etc and send them your work by email. This can pay off but remember large magazines get thousands of submissions everyday so dont be put off if you dont hear back.
If you know the actual address of a magazine you could send them your printed portfolio directly either take it in person or post it to them, but remember to try to find the name of someone to direct it too so it doesnt get lost in the junk mail pile.
The first thing to remember is that now thanks to the internet and social media, its easier to get your work in front of the people that matter, editors, creative directors, etc. So one think to remember is to post your shots to social media. Whether that is to FaceBook, Google+, Twitter or Flickr. The thing to remember is to post it to these sites.
now posting it onto these sites is not enough, you must then be social in your process, take part in discussions, and especially on Google+ take part in #ing events, these happen all the time and offer a great way to get your shots seen. These range widely from things such as #shoesmonday to #TreeTuesday and so on. Remember that the more people who see your shots the better.
Now you will now by now what a #hashtag is, its a simple way for engines such as Twitter, Google, FaceBook to find stuff. Although its not a guarantee of being found it does help. So when ever you post a photo make sure to label it with the correct #hashtags, so what I suggest doing is post a photo to your Flickr account, then use the share options in Flickr to share your photo to twitter and then add the #hashtags for your shots, such as #fashion #outdoor or what ever your shot is about.
Although I have mentioned social media, the benefit of twitter is that you can almost target you tweets to anyone, so as well as adding the #hashtags to your photos, make a point of finding out the magazine you would like to be published in, or and even better the person who makes the decisions for publication. For example if you would like to be feature in CT Magazine you can follow them by following them at @CT_FashionMag and if you want to get more in touch with CT Magazine you can follow the editor directly at @SeanJC you get the idea. But dont think that by simply tweeting your photo to a magazine it will get published. They need to see worth in your shots as well as creative flare.
But I guess the most important thing to remember is that you must put the work in, you need to keep your portfolio up to date with different shots that show your creativity, and above all else spend time actively being part of the social media world. As you now have direct links to people you never did before, but they need to see you and see that you care about what you do.

Math is one of the most important things you could learn and use in your daily life. In almost anything that you do, there is usually a little math involved. Unfortunately, not many people like math. There are some who find it to difficult that they lose hope in learning math.
To many people, algebra is one of the most difficult kinds of math. They have a hard time figuring out especially when it comes to multiplying or dividing the algebraic solutions. But what many people do not know is that multiplying or dividing algebraic solutions can be easy.
You can easily solve these kinds of problems by simply learning the basics or the rules for multiplying or dividing algebraic solutions. These rules will serve as your guide in solving these algebraic solutions.
When multiplying algebraic solutions, you have to familiarize yourself with the basic rules of multiplying algebraic solutions. These will help you solve or simplify the algebraic solution.
Multiply the numerator and the denominators. Just like in arithmetic, multiply the numerator with the other numerators and multiply the denominators with the other denominators. If one of the elements does not have a denominator, use one as a denominator for that element.
Cancel out any common numerator and denominator. If there are numerators and denominators that are common with each other, cancel them out to simplify the equation.
Simplify algebraic solutions. When the numbers in the numerator and denominators are too big, you can always reduce these numbers to their lowest terms. This will make it easier for you to multiply the elements in your algebraic solution.
Factor your solutions. For algebraic solutions that use exponents, it is best to factor them out to simplify the algebraic solution. It will be easier for you to solve the solutions when you have factored your algebraic solutions. You can cancel out elements that are the same to simplify the solution.
**the element (a-5) in the numerator and denominator are cancelled out to simplify the solution.
Once you've mastered multiplying algebraic solutions, dividing algebraic solutions will be a breeze. For dividing algebraic solutions, you simply have to invert the second term of the solution and change the sign to multiplication. Then follow the rules of multiplying algebraic solutions to get your final answer.
For both multiplication and division, always remember to reduce your answers to their lowest terms to make the algebraic solution simpler. Once it is in its simplest form that would be your final answer.
Algebra can be easy as long as you familiarize yourself with the basic rules of algebra. These rules will cover everything that you'll need to multiply or divide your algebraic solutions. So if you want to solve algebraic solutions with ease, always keep in mind these multiplication and division algebra basics.

Draw the attention of the Brotherhood.
Rumors abound that the Dark Brotherhood, assassins of legend, are on the lookout for members worthy to wield their killing blade. This might be why so many innocents have been murdered of late.
Meet Amelie Crowe at any Outlaws Refuge, or receive quest through the Collections tab.
Speak to the messenger and head to the Anvil Lighthouse.
Talk to Amelie Crowe at any Outlaws Refuge to start the quest.
"This place is nice, but it's not a home. It feels like I'm hiding down here. People like us, we need powerful friends if we're going to make it in this world."
"Don't play coy. I see it in your eyes. You've killed people. Or you will. You've got the same urges as I do.
Just between us, I hear the Dark Brotherhood is recruiting for some new blood. I'm going to try my best to get their attention."
"You never heard of Tamriel's most elite guild of assassins? Rumor has it that if you take an innocent life and they notice, they'll offer you a place in the Dark Brotherhood. There, killers are free to pursue their true passion.
If you start the quest through the Collections tab you need to travel to Anvil first and talk to Amelie Crowe there.
"Is it time? Has the Dark Brotherhood finally noticed my impeccable work? I'm ready, dark one! I swear, in the name of—wait, I should let you talk first."
"Nothing. Nevermind. I thought you were someone else, that's all. Forget I said anything.
It's just ... there's something about your eyes. They have a certain look about them. I thought you were ... well, I thought you were one of them."
One of them? You thought I was one of the Dark Brotherhood, didn't you?
"Keep your voice down! But yes, I thought you were with the Brotherhood. You've got that look in your eyes. You killed people. Or you will.
Just between us, I heard the Brotherhood seeks new recruits. I plan to be one of those lucky few."
How do you plan to get the attention of a secret group of assassins?
"Rumor has it that if you take an innocent life and the Dark Brotherhood notices, they'll offer you a place in their guild.
Think about it. A place where killers are free to pursue their darkest passions. Doesn't it just give you the chills?"
I don't know. It sounds kind of risky.
Travel to Anvil if you're not already there. Find an isolated civilian and murder them. Search for Amelie Crowe near the docks in Anvil. She has disappeared but a courier will call out to you. Talk to him and you will receive a Mysterious Letter.
"Pardon the interruption. I've been looking for you."
"Not me, but I have something for you. A letter. Confidential. Private. I have it here somewhere. Yes, here it is!
Interesting. I'm also supposed to extend a verbal invitation to visit the lighthouse. Odd that they didn't just put that in the letter."
"Yes, the Anvil Lighthouse. Just up the way. The sender ordered me to direct you there after I handed over the letter.
I'm glad I found you. After looking for the other woman with the eye-patch all day, I figured I was in for a late night."
The woman with the eye-patch?
"Amelie Crowe? Do you know her? I gave her a letter, right there on the Anvil docks. I have no idea where she went in such a hurry, but she seemed excited to receive it.
Anyway, I have more deliveries to make before I can rest for the day. Farewell!"
The note is the Black Hand, the sign that the Brotherhood has noticed your activities.
Make your way to the Anvil lighthouse and enter. Talk to Speaker Terenus to complete the quest.
"Come closer and let me look into your eyes. No remorse, no mercy. Yes, you do have the eyes of a killer. How many lives ended looking into those eyes? Enough that the Night Mother has noticed, obviously.
Which brings us both to this place and time."
"I am a Speaker for the Dark Brotherhood. I speak with the voice of the Night Mother. I act with the hands of our Dread Father, Sithis.
I have an offer to make to one so skilled in the art of murder. An invitation, if you will."
"Nothing to say? I can appreciate that.
I am a Speaker for the Dark Brotherhood. I speak with the voice of the Night Mother. We have been watching you. You can deal death, but you lack purpose. We can change that ... if you are willing."
"As well you should. I am certain you have questions, but first we must determine if you are worthy of joining the Dark Brotherhood.
You take lives easily and without hesitation. We know that you can kill. Now show us that you can also obey."
You're wrong. I'm no murderer.
"No? What do you call it? Self-defense? Justice? Did they all deserve to die?
How you justify your actions does not matter. All souls belong to Sithis in the Void. We are simply the instruments of their delivery."
"Of course not, but we'll have time for clarity later. First we need to determine if you are worthy to join the Dark Brotherhood.
You take lives easily enough, so we know that you can kill. Now show us that you can also obey."
"Silence is the music of Sithis, so perhaps you will serve us well.
But first we need to determine if you are worthy to join the Dark Brotherhood. You take lives easily enough and we know that you can kill. Now show us that you can also obey."
"Splendid! We shall see how well you marry business with death. But first, allow me to present you with a gift. I shall teach you how to call upon a particular tool of our trade."
"A tool for dealing death, of course. One forged by unseen hands. The Blade of Woe. Wield it from the shadows and its edge shall deliver your prey to Sithis in the Void.
"I grant you access to the Blade of Woe. Sharper than any other dagger you have at your disposal, it shall be your weapon just as silence is your armor.
Wield the blade from the shadows and let its edge send your prey to Sithis."
"In return, I expect only unwavering loyalty and ruthless efficiency. Now, let us discuss the task before you. A killing that shall form a covenant between us, signed in blood."
If you accept the quest from the Collections tab you will be directed to travel to Anvil first and then talk to Amelie. She will have different dialogue in this case.
Word around town suggests that the Dark Brotherhood is seeking recruits in Anvil, a city on the Gold Coast. I should travel to Anvil and see if the rumors hold any truth.
It seems that the best way to get the attention of the Dark Brotherhood is to kill an innocent person in cold blood. If I'm going to do this, I should go to Anvil on the Gold Coast and see if they think I'm worthy to join them.
I murdered an innocent in Anvil, just as Amelie suggested, but other than the spilled blood and having a sense of being watched, nothing happened. Maybe Amelie has an idea about what I should do next. She said I could find her near the Anvil docks.
I couldn't find Amelie, but a courier approached me. I should see what the courier wants.
I received a mysterious letter and an invitation to visit the lighthouse south of Anvil. I should go and find out if this has anything to do with the Dark Brotherhood.
There's someone waiting for me inside the Anvil Lighthouse. I should talk to him.
Finishes quest I should talk to Speaker Terenus and find out more about why I was invited to come here.

Q: How do I configure an NFS server to accept all mount requests? Adding 0.0.0.0/32 in /etc/exports does not seem to work. Is there some other configuration option that can be used for this?

A: You should also set permissions with the share:
     /folder-location *(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)

A: Try
/filesystem      *

You might also try reading man exports, which has a set of examples at the bottom from which the above is derived.  You may also wish to note that 0.0.0.0/32 means "only the IP address 0.0.0.0".  It is possible that you wwanted 0.0.0.0/0, which means "any IP address", instead, but * should do as well.

A: If you do not specify a subnet restriction, then there isn't one. E.g.:
/filesystem -sec=sys,ro

Will allow anything to mount ro. Think carefully about whether you want to allow rw or root to anything on the network. (You may, but ... well, think about it first)

The Business Year: Azerbaijan 2014 launched
Azerbaijan, Europe & CIS | May. 19, 2014
Azerbaijan, May 20, 2014—Leading international business consultancy and publishing company The Business Year (TBY) launched its Azerbaijan 2014 publication at the Four Seasons Baku on May 14, 2014. The event, which was attended by leading business executives and political figures from throughout the country, marked the occasion of TBY's fourth economic research project on Azerbaijan. The publication serves to be the most comprehensive English-language review of the Azerbaijani economy produced internationally to date, and features over 200 interviews with top executives and political leaders.
The event featured a number of speeches, including a keynote address by Dr. Prof. Ali Hassanov, National Adviser to the President of Azerbaijan of the First Rank and Head of the Department for Public and Political Issues within the Presidential Administration of the Azerbaijan Republic. Additional comments were made by Betül Çakaloğlu, TBY Regional Director, and Leland Rice, TBY Managing Editor.
"Today, in different parts of the world, in influential international structures, and in various prestigious events, people talk about Azerbaijan's development model, the 'Azerbaijani phenomenon,'" noted Hassanov. "TBY's consecutive four-year cooperation with Azerbaijan is aimed at familiarizing the entire world with this model."
"We're seeing exceptionally high demand for our Azerbaijan 2014 publication," stated Rice. "If you look at the number of standout business developments that get covered in this year's edition, such as the Final Investment Decision (FID) of Shah Deniz Phase II and a number of megaprojects, it's easy to see why."
The occasion featured a dinner, an array of live entertainment, and an awards ceremony in which TBY recognized excellence and achievement in a host of categories.
The Business Year: Azerbaijan 2014 will reach approximately 87,400 readers worldwide in its printed version, while an even wider audience will be able to peruse the publication via TBY's iPad, iPhone, and Android mobile apps. The publication includes inside perspectives by The President of Azerbaijan H.E. Ilham Aliyev and First Lady Mehriban Aliyeva, guest speakers such as UK Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs William Hague, Latvian President Andris Berzins, and Romanian Prime Minister Victor Ponta, as well as scores of interviews with top business and political leaders throughout the country.

The Lost Girl (Hardcover)
By Anne Ursu
Published: Walden Pond Press - February 12th, 2019
Reviewed by Peri V.
Iris and Lark are identical twins. Iris has always been the brave, smart, and somewhat boring one; Lark has been the artsy, clever, idea-making one. Together they're Iris and Lark, but when their parents and principal decide that they should be in different classes, they start to change. Iris is not allowed to go to Lark's after-school art program. Iris turns grim, Lark is... different. All over the city things are going missing. Iris decides it is up to her to keep her loved ones safe.
I liked the strong friendship between Iris and Lark. The kindness and fights with each other showed that they loved each other very much and would do anything for one another.
Lety Out Loud (Hardcover)
By Angela Cervantes
Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Published: Scholastic Press - February 26th, 2019
Reviewed by Amelia
This a good book for animal-lovers. The title tells us that probably a girl named Lety is going to do something that makes her shine. Lety just wants to write animal profiles at the shelter. Lety's family speaks Spanish, so animal-lovers AND Spanish learners could really like this book. Unfortunately, a boy named Hunter also signed up for the job. So they have a contest that Lety isn't sure about. The genre is realistic fiction, and it takes place in America (I don't know where). It was sort of happy. I like when somebody gets a dog in the end.
Dragon Pearl (Hardcover)
Published: Rick Riordan Presents - January 15th, 2019
Reviewed by Jake B.
Note: The author draws inspiration from Korean fairy tales and folklore.
The book is about a girl from a different planet who goes on a journey to save her brother. I liked the book because the characters are interesting. For instance, the main character Min is part human, part fox, so she can have these powers that are different from human ones—she can persuade others very easily, hear things from far away, and magically make things. Also, I liked that the events in the book take place in the year 1447, but humans on other planets have technology that is way more advanced than the mankind has to this day. They have technology that can let them go to different galaxies and planets. I also liked how humans in the book could see ghosts, so if someone you know died, then they become ghost, and they can watch you and do things with you, but the only risk is that ghosts give bad luck to people they stay with.

This is great for people who like scary books. Sigrun and her family were enjoying a family night when the television show was interrupted by an economist talking about the crisis. A commercial followed that told them to skip the crisis and run out and buy the TimeBox®. Sigrun's father immediately ran out and came back with three. Each entered their TimeBox® and everything went black. Sigrun woke up. Nothing was the same. What happened? I recommended this book for anyone brave enough to read it.
Krista Kim-Bap (Paperback)
By Angela Ahn
Published: Second Story Press - April 18th, 2018
Reviewed by Jake
This book is about a Canadian-Korean girl Krista who at the beginning of the book does not have a good relationship with a lot of people including her grandmother, sister, and the girls at school. The book tells about how she resolves these conflicts. I like this book because you can learn about the Korean culture, for example, about different foods like kimbap and kimchi (believe it or not kimchi is stinky, so get your nose plug out peeps!). There is also a lot of drama going on in the book, so I would say this is for kids who like drama. I believe this is for 9-year-old kids and older.
Mera: Tidebreaker (Paperback)
By Danielle Paige, Stephen Byrne (Illustrator)
Published: DC Ink - April 2nd, 2019
This comic tells a story about two teenagers. One is Mera, who is Princess of an imaginary underwater world called Xebel. She goes on a mission to kill Arthur, Prince of another underwater world called Atlantas, that her father wants killed. She thinks that when she does it, she will rule Xebel by herself, and that is what she wants. Mera has many adventures on her way, and her quest turns out to be something different from what she expected.
I liked the book overall because I liked how the events in the book evolved. I really liked how you can easily understand what is going on, because the events do not happen out of the blue. I also liked the characters' special features--that they can breathe underwater.
A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World: A Novel (Hardcover)
By C. A. Fletcher
Published: Orbit - April 23rd, 2019
This book is about a time where the human race was shrinking severely within several years from a disease that was in food. The main character of the book is a boy, Griz, who is surviving with his parents. One day a robber steals one of his favorite things in his world—his dog—and then Griz goes after him. So the book tells about Griz's adventures as he tries to find his dog. I liked it because I liked the setting and the main character's goal was interesting.
Also reviewed by Chance
A breathtaking book filled with many dark and exiting secrets. The book takes place in an apocalyptic earth where almost all human life has been wiped out. Griz, the main character, is an ambitious kid who has his dog stolen one day. In anger he recklessly pursues the robber in hopes of getting one of his favorite dogs back. While pursuing the robber, Griz finds himself on an epic journey across a desolate wasteland.
The Door at the End of the World (Hardcover)
By Caroline Carlson
Published: HarperCollins - April 9th, 2019
The Door at the End of the World is a brain-exploding-because-it's-so-cool book and I would totally recommend it. It is obviously a door at the end of the world, but not in a way that you would think. It is actually one door at the end of one world. There are eight worlds in all. The main character is Lucy Esberlee, and she really wants a peaceful life with her boss, the Gatekeeper. The Gatekeeper guards and lets people through the door. But one day the Gatekeeper goes missing, and the door gets stuck. So they go to the government of the eight worlds, and find out all of the doors are stuck. It is a really good genre, fantasy.
Right as Rain (Hardcover)
By Lindsey Stoddard
Published: HarperCollins - February 12th, 2019
reviewed by Peri
Rain had a brother, mother, and father. Now she only has her mother and her father. There was happiness, and storytelling. There was a large house and a great gardener in the house. Now there's tense feelings, silence, and fear. There's the worry nothing will be the same. Rain will find herself longing to go home, race around the school track again, longing for everything to go back to the way it was before the accident.
I liked Right as Rain. I thought the way the characters supported each other was kind and the way they acted towards on another was sweet. I think the age range would be 10 and up. Some of the content was a little harsh for younger ages.

Cat and her younger brother, Chicken, are excited to spend the summer in Atlanta, with some of their closest friends. It will be a nice change from being cooped up in their three bedroom apartment in San Francisco. But when their good friends have to fly to India because of a family emergency, Cat and Chicken have no choice but to stay with their grandparents who their mother never even bothered to mention. Gillian McDunn must be an incredible writer, because this book is spectacular. I love the mystery and adventure elements that tie this intriguing story together. I think Cat is a very relatable girl and that's just one of the reasons why she's such an amazing main character. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves mystery, island vacations, and fishing!
Watch Hollow (Hardcover)
By Gregory Funaro, Matthew Griffin (Illustrator)
I was scared and excited to learn what was going to happen next in Gregory Funaro's new book Watch Hollow. Lucy and her brother Oliver go on a journey with their father. There are strange things that are happening in a house. The story makes you get excited and scared while the surrounding forest is getting closer. A monster is lurking trying to get to the house but the sunstone is too strong. All the monster needs is fear. The animals need help or they will fail. There is a clock that needs repair but is quickly getting weaker. The story sucked me in right away. I would read Watch Hollow again.

I love this book! Being a big sister to a Deaf really opens my eyes to a lot of new things, and I thought the author did a fantastic job writing about opening up to difference. I am very thankful that the author wrote this book because It makes me feel like I am not the only kid in the world that has been in a situation similar to this. Jilly had sudden change thrust upon her, and that's what makes the book so great; it's not your regular "perfect family" where everything is "ok" this book felt more real.

Review by Amelia
This book is one of the best books I've ever read (And that's a lot of books!). The title tells us that something… something, is missing from Charlie. Charlie just wants his little brother back. He also has a friend named Ana. He takes baseball, has a nice coach named Jonathon, and has a mother who has been dealing with severe depression. He finds out where his brother is, only to get stuck there himself! The genre is part fantasy, part mystery, and action-adventure. It was so good I couldn't describe it! I loved all of it, and I strongly recommend this book for the bookstore.

Published: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers - April 16th, 2019
This book is about a girl named Caitlyn who moves to a new school where she starts seventh grade. Her new classmates are upset because one of their favorite classmates, Paulie Fink, has disappeared and nobody knows where he is. They decide to have a competition for the position of the next Great Paulie Fink, and the book tells about their adventures during this competition.
I like this book a lot because the story is very interesting and it has many "elements of surprise." It keeps the reader on their toes throughout. You will never guess who the winner of the competition is. I also liked the weird games that the characters play, like Zombie v.s. Werewolf or Ancient Greece topics, they are a lot of fun to read about, and I learned some Greek words.

On Monday, Secretary John Kerry gave the most significant foreign policy speech of his short tenure as the head of the State Department. When listened to in conjunction with the speech that President Obama made in Jerusalem in March, it becomes clear that this administration has put the Israeli-Palestinian issue at the very top of its foreign policy agenda despite all of the other pressing matters in the world.
These are almost verbatim the talking points that J Street has been using since its inception in 2008. One of J Street's primary missions has been to support the American administration to put this issue on the front burner – and it is obvious that President Obama and Secretary Kerry have done that. It is now time for the rest of the American Jewish community to join in.

ThyssenKrupp Rothe Erde has been placing its trust in gear cutting machines from Liebherr for 50 years. A significant benefit to the industrial operation is the high level of flexibility of Liebherr machines. They can be adapted to specific production requirements in a targeted manner.
The LC 10000 from Liebherr produces oversized gear wheels with a diameter of up to 10 metres.
Since 1966, ThyssenKrupp Rothe Erde has been a satisfied customer of Liebherr-Verzahntechnik. Rothe Erde is the biggest manufacturer of large diameter bearings in the world. The factory in Lippstadt manufactures gears up to 10,000 millimetres, e.g. for large diameter bearings in wind turbine systems or cranes. Certain work steps, such as gear milling, are performed by the industrial company in the traditional way on Liebherr machines.
The Liebherr LC 10000 gear cutting machine is employed flexibly in Lippstadt for wet and dry machining.
Currently, the main items of equipment used in Lippstadt are the modular 4-gear hobbing machines for wet and dry machining. Jürgen Lange (graduate engineer), head of factory planning in Lippstadt, is especially impressed by the high productivity and availability of the LC 10000. Fast and simple retooling contribute towards the efficient production processes. This makes it possible to quickly change to other workpieces or from external to internal machining.
The many years of co-operation enable the project partners to agree on production right down into detail. "To ensure that the level of quality is ultimately achieved, we have invested the right amount of time. Naturally, many things need to be clarified from the outset, particularly with such a large machine. It is not simply a case of erecting it in a production hall. We were constantly in dialogue with Liebherr regarding the design – even when there were slight teething problems. It is important for us as partners that there is mutual respect in projects of this kind. Discussing the projects and individual requirements is quite easy – this has always been the case with the machines", Jürgen Lange (graduate engineer) emphasises.
The successful co-operation is a signal for Liebherr that the service quality is right: "We place the highest value on sustainable work", highlights Dr Alois Mundt, Manager of Liebherr-Verzahntechnik (gear cutting technology). From the initial consultation stage to commissioning and aftersales service, the customer is at the centre.
The high level of quality of the LC 10000 is in no small way thanks to the thermal stability as well as the wear-free and high precision hydrostatic bearings in the machine table. It is precisely these high quality table bearings for the machine that Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH uses from ThyssenKrupp Rothe Erde. The customer-supplier relationship, here, is reciprocated. And the trust is valued on both sides.

William Nylander's contract stalemate at risk of eating into camp
Chris Johnston joined Sportsnet Central to talk about the ongoing contract talks between William Nylander and the Maple Leafs, with the two parties seemingly needing to meet in the middle if they want the winger to make it to training camp.
Chris Johnston | @reporterchris September 10, 2018, 6:02 PM
Chris Johnston @reporterchris September 10, 2018, 6:02 PM
MILTON, Ont. – You only had to look out at the huge puddles forming in the fairways to think that William Nylander wasn't missing anything at all.
Rain made a mess of the Toronto Maple Leafs annual golf tournament on Monday afternoon. Organizers went from Plan A to Plan B to Plan C before eventually calling the whole round off and turning the event into an extended luncheon.
Still, the deluge didn't keep a full set of Leafs and Marlies players from joining alumni and sponsors inside the clubhouse at RattleSnake Point Golf Club.
Conspicuous by his absence was Nylander – who, according to a source, remains back home in Sweden waiting out a difficult contract negotiation between management and his agent Lewis Gross.
It's part of the business but it's not a particularly comfortable spot to be in. Team activities are already underway. Medicals will be completed on Thursday, training camp officially kicks off Friday and Nylander's arrival is still very much "TBD."
"It's a little bit stressful. I know in my case it was and they're very similar," said teammate Nazem Kadri, who had to wait until the eve of training camp in September 2013 before signing his second NHL contract. "I know Willy wants to be here and he wants to be around his teammates. It's not the easiest thing to go through. He's a great player, he's a great teammate and we love to have him around."
The biggest issue for players coming off their entry-level contracts is that they don't have much leverage in negotiations, especially with offer sheets having gone the way of the two-line pass. All you can really do is stay away and wait if the terms being discussed aren't to your liking.
Gross and Leafs GM Kyle Dubas have been working on a new deal since sitting down for a couple meetings in late June during the draft weekend in Dallas. With Nylander parked a continent away and camp about to open, they are getting down to brass tacks now.
Even though stalemates like these almost always get solved with very little tangible damage inflicted – Andreas Athanasiou, Josh Anderson and David Pastrnak all had career-best point totals after missing 40 days, 19 days and one day due to contract standoffs last fall – it wouldn't be an ideal way to kick off a season of mammoth hope and excitement in Toronto.
There's no reason to believe that Nylander will surface until his new contract is wrapped up.
The 22-year-old has elected to keep a low profile while fellow unsigned RFAs Darnell Nurse of the Edmonton Oilers and Sam Reinhart of the Buffalo Sabres returned to their cities and skated informally with teammates last week. (Nylander's brother, Alex, flew over from Stockholm to join the group in Buffalo as well).
William Nylander was in Toronto for a couple different events in August but returned to Europe after a promotional photo shoot at the end of the month.
Joe Bowen concerned about sandpaper, not contracts or captaincy
"I haven't spoken to him in a little while, but I've seen him all over all throughout the summer," said Kadri. "I just tried to give him my two cents and my advice. He's a smart player, he's got people handling the business side of it.
"You know, it's tough, because he just wants to play hockey and obviously this is part of the business side. You need to have a contract in order to come to training camp and to play. So I feel for him."
Mike Babcock has pencilled Nylander in as his top-line right-winger, due to play alongside Auston Matthews and Patrick Marleau. He's coming off consecutive 61-point seasons and has 48 goals and 135 points to show for 185 games with the Leafs overall.
There's no questioning his value to the organization. Dubas has said that he expects each of the team's three young stars – Nylander, Matthews and Mitch Marner – to spend their primes in Toronto no matter how long their next contracts end up being.
It could be that, like Kadri before him, he needs to take a bridge deal and wait for his home-run contract. Coming out of entry level, Kadri played on a two-year deal and a one-year deal before landing major security with his current six-year pact.
With negotiations ongoing, Nylander's teammates are back together and hoping a resolution arrives in hours rather than days.
"He's a great player and he was a big part of our team last year. I mean there's time between now and camp, so who knows?" said Morgan Rielly, hopefully.
"Willy's obviously a big part of the team and a big part of the future," added John Tavares, one of his newest teammates. "Sometimes [contract talks] seem to come down to the wire a little bit, but we believe we're going to have Willy here to start camp. And, whatever happens, obviously to start the season. He's an important part of the team – I got to skate with him in July a little bit, I know he was really excited about things ahead and being a part of this group.
"Yeah, hopefully it can get done very soon and we can get him in and build up the team."

FAKE NEWS ALERT: Obasanjo didn't author letter accusing Britain of rigging 2003 elections, says aide
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has disowned a viral letter, alleged to have been authored by him, asking Britain not to interfere in the forthcoming general election.
In a report published by some media outlets, Obasanjo was said to have asked Britain to "back down on the 2023 election and allow Nigerians to decide their candidate for once." The letter claimed Britain attempted to rig the 2003 elections.
The letter also stated that Obasanjo reportedly said he would "rather release the information I have with me which will end Nigeria and put Britain in a bad light forever than for Obi to lose."
However, in a statement on Thursday, Kehinde Akinyemi, Obasanjo's spokesperson, said the former president had no links with the viral letter.
He added that the alleged plan by the former president to collude with the electoral body in the presidential election of February 25 is false.
"The former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, is not responsible for the viral stories on some discredited platforms on the forthcoming general elections in Nigeria," Akinyemi said.
"Also, apart from the letters dated January 1, 2023, respectively, one, that which was addressed to the Nigerian youth and the other to Prof. Toyin Falola on his 70th birthday, there has been no other public or private letter written to anybody by the former president.
"The reading public is for the umpteenth time, reminded that only a statement duly signed by His Excellency, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, or by his media assistant, Kehinde Akinyemi is to be allowed into the media space.
"If need be, necessary checks can be made to confirm the authenticity of such documents before publication to avoid any embarrassment."
Earlier in the month, Obasanjo had endorsed Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) for the presidency ahead of the 2023 elections.

Description
Brasilestes stardusti est connue par un fragment de dent fossile datée d'entre 70 et 87 millions d'années, mis au jour sur le site de Buruti Farm dans l'État de São Paulo. Ce mammifère vivait donc au mésozoïque. La taille de la dent complète, estimée à  laisse penser que Brasilestes stardusti était de la taille d'un opossum, une cinquantaine de centimètres, soit bien plus grand que la plupart des autres mammifères contemporains. Selon ses découvreurs, il relèverait du clade des Tribosphenida, et en serait le seul représentant connu vivant au Crétacé dans la moitié sud de l'Amérique du Sud.

Étymologie
La dent a été exhumée en décembre 2015. Ses découvreurs, les paléontologues Max Cardoso Langer, de l'université de São Paulo, et Mariela C. Castro, de l'université fédérale de Goiás, marqués le mois suivant par la mort du chanteur David Bowie, ont nommé l'espèce en référence à son personnage fictif, Ziggy Stardust.

Quijano: Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Jingo Quijano
Why would a professional boxing match between two novices generate million dollar paydays and garner mainstream media attention?
The answer is simple. When you turn it into a spectacle, a fight circus of sorts, you generate publicity. And in this digital world where the ephemeral is embraced —instant publicity means money.
The protagonists were as follows: Jake Paul, a YouTube personality, actor and rapper with three professional bouts under his belt against Ben Askren—an Olympic championship wrestler, former Bellator MMA welterweight champion and retired UFC contender with a record of 19-2.
EXHIBITION. Prior to this, Paul had already defeated former NBA player Nate Robinson in his second pro bout, knocking the latter out violently in the second round.
Predictably, this led to more challenges hurled the upstart's way.
Enter Askren, who himself had been violently knocked out by Jorge Masvidal at UFC 239 courtesy of a flying knee strike which resulted in the fastest knockout in UFC history.
Obviously the narrative was that this time around Paul was up against a real fighter, albeit a retired one and should be facing the biggest challenge of his pseudo-career.
Problem was, Askren wasn't much of a striker. Second, he retired back in 2019 and showed up for the fight like he had been on a strict regimen of honey glazed donuts and ice cream.
THE FIGHT. The younger Paul was clearly the bigger and stronger fighter. Askren's last fighting weight was at 170 lbs, but for this boxing fight, he showed up bloated at 190 lbs, the excess poundage clearly evident around his ample mid-section.
Paul, who has been taking his boxing training seriously and diligently and even worked with ring legend Evander Holyfield for this fight, looked poised and confident.
He moved and projected himself more like a professional boxer as compared to Askren who had his hands up while trying to negotiate some space, not unlike a throwback mid-19th century fighter.
It was clearly just a matter of time. And sure enough, all it took was a basic jab-right hand combo that knocked down Askren with 1:15 left in the first round. Askren got up glass-eyed and when the referee asked him to come forward, moved like he had had four martinis for lunch.
That was enough for the ref to call for the denouement of the fight.
LESSON. The moral of the story is quite simple. Never take anything for granted. Askren didn't respect Paul enough to train hard for him. Though there were rumors that Askren had hired the legendary Freddie Roach, the latter revealed that Askren was there for only a week.
That's not enough even if you're a retired world-class MMA fighter. This cannot be over-stated enough. Professional boxing requires a special skill set, being one of the sub-disciplines that comprises Mixed-martial Arts. Conor McGregor learned this the hard way when he fought Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Paul has also been training seriously for a couple of years already. Plus, he is younger, taller and stronger. Askren took him lightly and paid dearly for it.
There were suggestions that the match was fixed. I don't see it. Askren was in there trying to win. Sure he didn't look comfortable, but he never was much of a striker. That booming right landed with enough torque to knock him down. It was an honest punch that landed fair and square.
The world wanted a spectacle and it certainly got it. As for Askren, he certainly has his reputation besmirched on account of this.
But all he can blame is himself. You know what they say—play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
LAST ROUND. It's on my late mother, Elena M. Quijano, who would have turned 81 today. Miss you, mom...

Governor Lamont Announces Plans To Appoint Garrett Eucalitto as Commissioner of the Department of Transportation at Start of Second Term

Commissioner Joseph Giulietti to Leave State Service in January
(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont today announced that he is planning to appoint Garrett Eucalitto as commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) when he begins his second term in office early next year. Eucalitto will succeed Joseph Giulietti, who intends to leave state service at the conclusion of the governor's first term.
"With the recent passage of President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Connecticut is set to receive a historic level of federal funding dedicated to revitalizing our transportation system, and our administration is committed to aggressively using this once-in-a-generation opportunity to rehabilitate our roads, bridges, and transit in a way that is focused on moving people and goods as seamlessly and efficiently as possible," Governor Lamont said. "Garrett has the bold vision and leadership capability to move these projects forward in a way that best benefits the people and businesses of our state. I am grateful for Joe Giulietti's service as commissioner during my first term. Joe and his team have made tremendous progress over that past four years enhancing our transportation infrastructure, rebuilding our roads, highways, and bridges, and increasing and improving rail service. Because of the department's record of success delivering transportation projects during Joe's tenure, Connecticut is punching above its weight in winning competitive grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation. With his peers in the eight states along the Northeast Corridor, Joe worked with our Congressional delegation and the Biden administration to secure the most significant federal investment in generations for this crucial transportation artery that is vital to our economy and the entire economy of the Northeast. I particularly want to commend Joe's leadership through the pandemic. He and his team ensured that our frontline workers had access to public transportation, that our rail system survived an unprecedented drop in ridership, and that we continued to make progress improving our transportation network throughout Connecticut. We are better off today thanks to his service to our state. I wish him the best in his future endeavors."

Eucalitto is currently deputy commissioner of CTDOT, a position that he has held since January 2020. Prior to obtaining his current role, he was the transportation program director for the National Governors Association (NGA) in Washington, DC. In this capacity, he was responsible for assisting the nation's 55 governors (states, territories, and commonwealths) in advancing their policy objectives in transportation, including combating impaired driving and improving safety on the roadways, the implementation of innovative financing tools, transit-oriented development, increasing electrification of the transportation sector, and reviewing autonomous vehicle legislation and regulations.
Before joining the NGA, Eucalitto was undersecretary for comprehensive planning and intergovernmental policy for the Connecticut Office of Policy and Management during the administration of Governor Dannel P. Malloy. In this position, he researched, evaluated, and developed transportation, environmental, and regional planning initiatives. He began his career working in Washington, DC on the staff of former Senator Joe Lieberman for six years as his legislative assistant, covering appropriations, transportation, and infrastructure. In this role, he advocated for Connecticut's transportation needs at the federal level, led efforts to protect…

We have reached the recriminations stage of the United Kingdom's referendum on continued European Union membership. One might reasonably argue that the whole campaign has taken place in this stage from the start—recrimination is Brexit's natural state of being.
But, in short: everyone's mad; everyone's an idiot; everything's fucked up.
Here, then, is Toph Tucker's The Brexit Game, which is not very good but captures the zeitgeist reasonably well. It is basically an excuse to call other people idiots. The game was coded at a bar and gives you the name of a place in the United Kingdom and the percentage of its voters who favored Remain or Leave, then challenges you to place it on a map. If you're too far off the mark, it says "you have no clue" in a large typeface.
How did we get here? In part, it's a product of bad game design. A referendum in which a significant portion of voters believes its votes are not binding is fundamentally flawed. (Then again, this sort of problem is not unprecedented. The European Union's Maastricht Treaty, for instance, was only passed after a number of failed referenda. You can't entirely blame voters for expecting history to repeat itself, as it may well yet depending on the willingness of future prime ministers to invoke Article 50.) But try to imagine a game where an action is supposed to have a concrete consequence but a plurality of players believe it doesn't, and then… maybe it doesn't? This is not a workable system, but it is where we now find ourselves.
This is, to be clear, not solely a design problem: xenophobic and violent incidents have risen in recent days; an MP is dead; economic losses are mounting; the United Kingdom is more of a suggestion than a political or geographic reality going forward. Those are all tangible realities. But the design problems still haunt. The idea of "ever closer union" is not just a motto for European Integration but also a structural content; it's supposed to get harder to reverse the Union's 'progress' with time. There will probably be more referenda now—if not in the United Kingdom then elsewhere. The rules of the game are a bit clearer now—a referendum isn't just an empty expression of anger—but not so much so that it's clear where we go next. What could possibly go wrong?
