Broncos fire head coach Fangio after 7-10 season
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — For the second time in four years the Denver Broncos' ongoing postseason drought has cost the head coach his job.
The Broncos, after a 7-10 finish, fired Vic Fangio on Sunday as they missed the playoffs for the sixth consecutive season.
Broncos president and CEO Joe Ellis said he informed Fangio of the decision during a conversation Sunday morning that also included general manager George Paton.
"For the last three season, Vic has put his heart and soul into coaching the Broncos," Ellis said in a statement. "I want to thank Coach Fangio for giving his maximum effort to our organization since the day he was hired.
"George will have full authority to select the next head coach of the Broncos. This is his decision and his program. I have complete confidence in George's ability to lead an exhaustive and successful head coaching search.
"We will give George every available resource and fully support him in hiring the very best head coach to lead the Broncos."
The Broncos also fired Vance Joseph, currently the defensive coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals, following the 2018 season after two seasons on the job.
The Broncos' defense finished among the league's top 10 in almost every major category, and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater threw for a career-best 18 touchdowns despite missing the final three games with a concussion. But Denver's balky offense and inconsistent special teams play ultimately cost Fangio his job.
The 63-year-old Fangio finished the third year of a four-year contract he signed when he replaced Joseph in 2019.
Fangio's downfall, beyond the simple win-loss numbers in his three seasons — 19-30 — was fueled by the continued, and still ongoing search, for a long-term solution at quarterback, a change at GM (Paton was hired to replace John Elway in 2021), an almost constant struggle to score points and upheaval at ownership level, that has included a legal battle, with the team expected to be sold in the coming year.
Like everyone else in the league, Fangio also worked amid the COVID-19 pandemic for the last two seasons, including a 2020 loss to the New Orleans Saints when the Broncos had none of their quarterbacks in uniform for the game.
"I have tremendous respect for Vic and all he's accomplished in the NFL," Paton said in a statement. "Over the past year, I appreciate his partnership, friendship and the tireless work ethic he demonstrated as our head coach.
"Vic will continue to have great success in this league, and I thank him for everything he did for the Broncos as well as me personally."
Fangio's firing comes after the Broncos were 7-6 and squarely in the AFC's muddled playoff race with four games remaining. Paton had said repeatedly in the season's second half how much he respected Fangio and how much he enjoyed "working with Vic."
But the last four games didn't go well, as the Broncos missed the playoffs again. Denver has not played a postseason game since the Super Bowl 50 win to close out the 2015 season and hasn't finished above .500 since a 9-7 finish in 2016.
Players had often said they appreciated Fangio's honesty and straight-forward demeanor. But the turnstile at quarterback, another season of failing to average more than 23 points a game — they haven't since 2014 — and more than a few more bobbles on special teams were too much for Fangio to overcome.
Bridgewater was the 10th different quarterback to start at least one game for the Broncos since Week 13 of the 2016 season, a total that doesn't include running back Philip Lindsay opening behind center in the no-quarterback game of 2020.
Elway, who stepped down as the team's chief football decision-maker after the 2020 season — he has remained as the president of football operations — hired Fangio with the hope his discipline, accountability, teaching and expertise on the defensive side of the ball would be enough to snap the Broncos' postseason drought.
At the time Elway called those things "the foundation of football," and Fangio had waited decades for his first head coaching opportunity. Fangio had promised the details would matter and the Broncos would not suffer "death by inches."
But even his hope of a dynamic pass rush duo of Von Miller and Bradley Chubb fueling the defense didn't come to fruition. Chubb missed all but four games in the 2019 season with a torn ACL and Miller missed the entire 2020 season with an ankle injury.
Chubb then missed nine of the first 10 games this season after ankle surgery, and Paton traded Miller to the Los Angeles Rams in early November.
The Broncos will be an attractive landing spot for Fangio's replacement with a young roster, plenty of salary cap space and 11 picks already in hand for this April's draft.
"Looking ahead, there's a lot of work to be done for us to take the next step," Paton said in Sunday's statement. "Winning is not easy, and we're going to embrace the opportunity to improve in every single area of our operation.
"Our search to find the next head coach of the Broncos will be a comprehensive, collaborative process. We're approaching it with an open mind and look forward to spending time with some outstanding candidates."

Hannah Milbrandt, 21, was seven years old when her mother tricked her and residents of their hometown, Urbana, Ohio, into thinking she was dying from leukemia
A young woman who was drugged by her mother to convince her she was dying from childhood leukemia in a scam that duped their town has spoken for the first time about the grueling ordeal and says she believes her mother ruined her life.
Hannah Milbrandt, now 21, was seven years old when her mother told her she had cancer, shaved her head, drugged her with sleeping pills, and taped bandages to the back of her head to cover a non-existent medical port.
Their small, close-knit hometown of Urbana, Ohio rallied around the Milbrandts, donating money to help pay for Hannah's medical bills and organizing fundraising events. Police said the couple fooled 65 people and businesses to raise an estimated $31,000.
Nine months later, in 2002, Hannah's illness was revealed to be a hoax after teachers at Hannah's school became suspicious.
In 2003, both of Hannah's parents were jailed. Teresa was jailed for six and a half years for theft and child endangerment. Robert maintained his innocence, saying his wife took Hannah to all her medical appointments, but pleaded guilty to child endangerment and served four years and 11 months in prison.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Hannah, who spent a year in foster care after her parents were jailed before being taken in by her paternal aunt, spoke about how the cancer hoax affected her, how she's struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts and how she has tried to move on with her life.
Hannah has spoken for the first time since the ordeal that almost overshadowed her life. She exclusively told DailyMail.com about how she's grappled with depression and suicidal thoughts and how she is determined to move on
Hannah's parents, Robert (left) and Teresa Milbrandt (right), received an estimated $31,000 during the nine-month hoax, police said at the time. The family is pictured here at Hannah's seventh birthday party held at their church, Faith Fellowship Church, a small congregation that raised $7000 to help the family with medical bills
Teresa admitted to placing bandages (circled) around her daughter's body - claiming they covered a port where chemotherapy was administered - and even sending her to counselling sessions to prepare the child for her supposed death. The then-35-year-old also confessed to giving Hannah sleeping pills so she would appear sickly and be unconscious for the chemotherapy appointments she had invented
'I remember a lot (of what happened). I remember feeling somewhat sick but not to the point of how I was being made out to be…but then I found out it was all not true,' said Hannah, who is studying to be a middle school teacher at Wittenberg University and works part-time as a waitress.
'My mother is still not a part of my life today and I'm thankful for that because she is a very toxic person and I don't need that.
'Deep down I have this fear of being around her because she's not somebody I can trust and as far as I am concerned she ruined my life.'
She hasn't communicated with her mother for more than a decade even though they occasionally see each other because they've ended up living just ten minutes apart in Springfield, Ohio.Teresa said 'no comment' when DailyMail.com reached out to her.
Hannah was reunited with her father after he was released from prison and is convinced he had no idea of the hoax and truly believed his daughter was seriously ill. The two remain close.
Teresa and Robert Milbrandt – a blue-collar family living in a three-bedroom ranch style house – had six children between them and had Hannah, their only child together, during their nine-year marriage.
In 2002 Teresa, a homecare nurse at the time, told her daughter she had cancer and even admitted to sending her to counselling sessions to prepare the child for her 'imminent' death. The church-going mother told her and thousands of others that her daughter had three tumors and kept up Hannah's ill appearance by shaving her hair to mimic the symptoms of chemotherapy, placing bandages around Hannah's body and fixing a surgical mask over her mouth to apparently protect her from infections.
To feed the lie she was taking Hannah to the hospital, Teresa confessed to giving her daughter sleeping pills so she would appear sickly and be unconscious for the chemotherapy appointments she had made up. She also said when the seven-year-old woke up, she would then tell her she had slept through the appointment.
Teresa maintained Hannah's ill appearance by shaving her hair to mimic the symptoms of chemotherapy and fixing a surgical mask over her mouth to supposedly protect her from infections. Hannah, pictured here in 2002 with friends, was often seen with a mask that only covered her mouth and not her nose , something that Ubrana residents would later say they found unusual in hindsight
Parents of a new father 'desperately tried to save him' as... Evil stepmother forced sisters to drink from the toilet and... Imprisonment, starvation and torture: Shocking litany of... Police arrest father of three-year-old boy who was found...
Hannah said: 'I remember she would take me to the Dairy Queen in Urbana and she'd give me the sleeping pill. I remember falling asleep and waking up in the same exact spot every time.'
Thousands sympathized with the Milbrandts, who were apparently paying $500 a week in medical bills.
The small church the family attended raised $7000, local firefighters, in addition to giving $500, donated a puppy and an all-expense paid trip to a water park – two things the little girl had been pleading with her parents for.
Teresa informed teachers at North Elementary of the proper procedure to follow if her daughter had a seizure while at school and staff there organized a 'hat shower' where all the children wore hats in solidarity with Hannah who always covered her shaved head with a blue hat.
The scope of the con was such that a seriously ill wheelchair-bound teen who had spent nine years collecting pop can tabs to help pay for her own care donated her entire collection to help Hannah.
Authorities were called to investigate because Hannah's teachers noticed her short hair was cut uniformly, even though chemotherapy patients typically lose their hair in patches. The then-seven year-old is pictured with her first grade teacher Nori McCall

Residents from the 11,600-strong town donated and thronged to fundraising events to help Robert and Teresa Milbrandt, who were apparently paying up to $500 a week in medical expenses
At home Teresa, who Hannah says called her the 'million-dollar baby', became distant.
She said: 'It's kind of scary but she used to call me her million-dollar baby.
'It makes sense now but to me, I thought she thought I was wonderful and worth everything…she spoiled me to death.
'I do remember she stopped being as loving when the cancer hoax started.
'I used to be afraid to be alone in my bedroom and she would make me sleep alone.'
Terrified the upcoming Christmas would be her last, she begged Santa Claus to spare her.
But by Christmas, an eagle-eyed teacher noticed Hannah's short hair was cut evenly, even though patients who undergo chemotherapy lose their hair in patches, and the Ohio Department of Job and Family services were called to investigate.
On January 14 2003, police arrested the couple as well as Hannah's maternal grandmother, Mary Russell, who was later acquitted of theft.
Teresa confessed but her husband maintained his innocence. At the time, Robert - who worked for a printing press company – said he was oblivious because his wife scheduled these supposed hospital appointments when he had traveled for work.
He told a 2005 documentary – in his only interview: 'You look in hindsight and you're like I should have caught this.' He declined to be interviewed by DailyMail.com.
Even though Hannah believes he had no idea about her mother's scam, Robert pleaded guilty later to child endangerment. He also entered an Alford plea to felony theft, which means he does not admit guilt but recognizes prosecutors have enough evidence to convict.
It was he who told Hannah she wasn't dying.
'I remember feeling excited like I was not going to die anymore,' Hannah said. 'My happiness turned to me being afraid and not sure what was going to happen and I think that the part of it that was the scariest was being taken away from my family.'
Teresa (pictured left testifying in court in 2003) confessed to concocting the scheme and pleaded guilty by reason of insanity to theft and child endangerment. Her then-husband, Robert Milbrandt (pictured right in the Urbana courtroom), pleaded guilty to child endangerment. He also entered an Alford plea to felony theft, which means he does not admit guilt but recognizes prosecutors have enough evidence to convict
Teresa's mother, Mary Russell, was acquitted of theft. The then-57-year-old is pictured here with her attorney Ron Tompkins during the jury selection phase of her trial in Urbana, Ohio in September 2003
Hannah's father served four years and 11 months in prison, an outcome that still 'weighs heavy' on her heart.
She said: 'During all of it, when it was happening I knew my dad had no idea. I believe he was manipulated by my mother...she was his wife for nine years and nothing before this had ever happened. So why would he question his daughter was ill? He went to prison for five years of his life for doing nothing.'
Hannah believes that her father would have been acquitted had he allowed her to testify.
'I firmly believe if I would have he wouldn't have gone to jail. I have spent most of my life trying to get him justice and I haven't been able to do that and that's one thing that weighs very heavy on my heart because I know that man will do anything in this world for me and the one thing that has ruined his life, I can't fix.'
Teresa, pictured here with her attorney Kevin Talebi in March 2003, claimed to have been diagnosed with Munchausen by proxy - a mental condition in which a caregiver invents or causes an illness of the person they are supposed to be looking after - but the judge rejected her insanity claim after he ordered a mental evaluation
Robert Milbrandt served four years and 11 months in prison, an outcome that still 'weighs heavy' on Hannah's heart because she firmly believes her father is innocent. The pair are pictured here just days after his release in 2008
Hannah's mother pleaded guilty by reason for insanity claiming to have been diagnosed with Munchausen by proxy - a mental condition in which a caregiver invents or causes an illness of the person they are supposed to be looking after.
The judge ordered a mental evaluation and her insanity plea was rejected. She was sentenced to six and a half years, although she could have faced as many as 33 years in prison.
After her arrest, Teresa gave one interview in which she said she was so distraught by what she'd done to her daughter she could barely 'live in her own skin'.
In a 2004 interview with the Columbia Dispatch, she said: 'Last week, I said to someone, "I wonder if I could pay the doctor and have him give me a lethal injection". I can't take you to where I'm at. There's no way. I can't hardly live in my own skin.'
She said she concocted the cancer scheme to keep her husband from leaving and to show love to her children.
'I knew how much he cared about Hannah and if she's sick, I thought, he's not going to leave us.
'I spent that money on my daughters, I bought them anything they wanted. We shopped, we ate out. Hannah's room was immaculate. She had everything. That's how I thought you got love - you bought it.'
Hannah was sent to a foster home after her parents' arrest but her father's sister gained custody of her after a year. Hannah is pictured here with her aunt Sue Doriglizzi (left) and paternal grandmother Lorain Milbrandt (right)
Hannah moved in with Doriglizzi (pictured), who was living with her husband and 19-year-old son. When she was 12 years old, she says she began to suffer from depression and contemplated taking her own life many times. During this time her aunt, who was like a mother to her, advised her to see a therapist
Teresa was released in February 2010.
Hannah spent a year in a foster home after her parents were arrested before her father's sister fought to gain custody of her.
Hannah moved in with her aunt, who was living with her husband and 19-year-old son. Soon, what she had been through began to gravely affect her.
In her early teens, she began to have bouts of depression and even attempted to take her own life.
Teresa Milbrandt has not communicated with her daughter for more than a decade. Hannah says: 'I'm thankful for that because she is a very toxic person and I don't need that'
Remembering those difficult times, she said: 'There were very low moments, like I could die, like I didn't want to exist…. I even made plans…. I reached a point I realized I couldn't be as selfish.'
Hannah began seeing a therapist.
Soon after his release from prison in 2008, Hannah rekindled the relationship with her father and moved into his New York home. Although the then-14-year-old moved to live with him and his new wife, she was bullied in school, which catapulted her into a deeper depression.
With help from her father, Hannah made a recovery and made the decision to attend university in Springfield, Ohio - 20 minutes away from her Urbana home.
'I want to try to make the best of the worst,' she said. 'I don't want this place to be somewhere I have to avoid because of what happened to me.'
But her move back hasn't been easy at times. She lives a ten-minute walk from her estranged mother and has run into her at a restaurant where she says her mother asked to be waited on by her. Hannah even remembers a day when she saw Teresa through her rear-view mirror, driving right behind her.
Now a junior pursuing a degree in English and Education, Hannah is better able to handle her depression even though she says there are days when it's difficult. Still, she wants to use the pain she's felt from the neglect to help others one day.
She said: 'I feel like there are people out there who are struggling and have been abused in some way. 'It might not be the same as mine but everybody has a story. One thing I want people to know is that even in the hardest points in life, there is light at the end of the tunnel. This life is worth something.'
Hannah (center) moved out of her aunt's home when she was 15 years old and moved in with her father (right) and his wife (left). While Hannah enjoyed the reunion with her father, she says she was often bullied at her new high school, which worsened her depression
Hannah moved out of her father's home and now attends university in Springfield, Ohio, which is 20 minutes away from her Urbana home and just ten minutes away from where her mother lives. She says she moved to create 'new memories', although she often sees her mother in the neighborhood. She said: 'I want to try to make the best of the worst,' she said. 'I don't want this place to be somewhere I have to avoid because of what happened to me.' Hannah is pictured here with her half-sisters Katie, Morgan and Keri (from left to right)

Built between 1740 and 1747, a stone church near Staunton, Virginia was home to a Presbyterian congregation which was organized before 1737. The stone church in which they worshiped, officially known as Augusta Church, became the center of what would be called Fort Defiance.
William R. Reynolds, Jr., writing about the French & Indian War during the Summer of 1755, relates:
Braddock's defeat occurred shortly after a force of 1,500 British and American troops (from Virginia, Maryland, North and South Carolina) finally answered Dinwiddie's call. They marched from Will's Creek in Maryland under General Edward Braddock in late June 1755. On July 9, they forded Monongahela River at the forks with the Allegheny and Ohio Rivers and began the last leg of seven miles to the fort. An enemy force of 500 Indians (Ottawa, Miami, Huron, Delaware, Shawnee and Mingo) and 30 French colonial troops ambushed and routed them. The losses were staggering; 26 officers killed and 37 wounded, while 430 soldiers were killed and 385 wounded. This was enough to cause the Virginians around Stanton to construct Fort Defiance, an action typical of other backcountry communities.1
Reynolds goes on to further describe the development of the fort and its planned defense:
Churchgoers fortified the Old Stone Presbyterian Church, in late July of 1755, and they came to church services heavily armed. They named the fortification Fort Defiance. The worshippers were confident they could defend themselves against the French, and especially against any of the northern Indian allies to the French.
According to an old postcard, the Old Stone Church is located on the Valley Pike eight miles north of Staunton and is the oldest Presbyterian house of worship west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The original church building was enlarged in 1921-22, needed partially due to the growth in enrollment of the nearby Augusta Military Academy, whose cadets worshiped here while the academy was training Soldiers from 1865 until its closure in 1984.

Looking back to 1755, the worshippers who carried their weapons into the Old Stone Church may not have been officially enlisted or commissioned Soldiers (though may well have been members of a Militia, and Fort Defiance may not have been an officially sanctioned fort, but by all appearances, Fort Defiance and those who defended it suggest this Old Stone Church can be considered a military chapel, serving the religious needs of those who fought to defend their country, land, families and freedom.

PLP Architecture is a London-based architect practice led by a group of partners, including Lee Polisano, David Leventhal, Karen Cook and Ron Bakker, who formerly were in charge of Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates' London office for more than 20 years. But, what makes PLP stand out from other architects? Lee Polisano, who is also the President of the firm, says it's about more than building. "We're an ideas-based company that deals with many facets of architecture, including design building, strategy work around the environment and a research group for innovation for materials and emerging technologies. We're a varied consultancy that can provide services at many different ends of the urban spectrum."
PLP Architecture's portfolio includes The Edge building in Amsterdam, which is lauded for its sustainability and smart technology. The firm's efforts have not gone unnoticed; three of its buildings were recently nominated for 32 awards, and took home 25 of them, including one from the British Council of Offices for Sky TV's new headquarters.
For a firm that has expertise in technological areas, how does PLP see new, smarter technologies having a role in architecture? Lee says: "Tech has played a big role in it and it's going to have an even bigger role. Not just tech in terms of new tools that people can design with, but how we use tech in buildings and cities, which means the architect's office is going to change in terms of the make-up of the people that sit in it. We will have sociologists, researchers, people who understand artificial intelligence, smart materials; we will have a broad mix of individuals here who are not just architects."

Jr. A's preach Respect thanks to Osum
Even with their demanding schedule on the ice, one mandate of the 2008-09 Bonnyville Jr. "A" Pontiacs has been to get more involved in the community. From manning intersections on Halloween to providing goaltending clinics, this year's squad has worked hard to show fans that their support over the last 18 seasons has been appreciated.
In co-operation with Osum Oil Sands Corporation, players from the Pontiacs roster entered a different arena this year: the classroom. During the last two months of the 2008-09 Alberta Junior Hockey League regular season, students in Cold Lake and Bonnyville were the recipients of messages from the Pontiacs. Respect: It's The Name Of The Game is a 30-minute presentation addressing the importance of treating everybody with dignity.
"It's a great cause to get out and put into kid's minds that respect is huge in this kind of environment," said Pontiacs' team captain Craig Cuthbert. Cuthbert was one of the main presenters, along with teammates Ashton Hewson, Kirk Belyk, and Beau Bertagnolli. In developing the presentation for the schools, both Pontiacs business manager Janice Sabatier and head coach Chad Mercier approached Osum for sponsorship. Osum, looking for initiatives that fit into its community investment mandate, was intrigued by the proposal and investigated the possibility.

CAPTAIN PREACHES RESPECT – During a presentation at Ardmore school,Bonnyville Jr. "A" Pontiacs' team captain Craig Cuthbert talks about the groups of people that kids frequently interact with,and compares it to the same groups that a hockey team associates with.
Justin Robinson, manager of communications with Osum, said in face-to-face meetings with both Mercier and some of the players, the company was impressed with the professionalism of the team. As a result, it was something Osum wanted to support. "They're 20 year olds, well-known, and have respect in the community," said Robinson. According to Robinson, the initiative developed by the Pontiacs fit well into "the four buckets": science and technology, vibrant communities, environment, and sports. Since Osum will be spending the next 30 years in the area with its Taiga project, a program like Respect made for an ideal investment into the community. Robinson also said studies confirm that kids who are involved in sports achieve success later in life.
"Sometimes things get rough on the ice, but there is a respect that players treat each other with," said Robinson. "[This] teaches [kids] about the essential personal qualities that it takes to be successful in sports and in life." The 30-minute presentation includes a slideshow, personal examples of respect, and a few minutes for questions and answers. The Pontiacs discuss the many groups students are involved, from a classroom to a sports team. Regardless of the group, the players always return to showing respect to others, even if others are not likable.
"When I was a kid growing up, I looked up to hockey players," said Cuthbert. "Kids look up to us in a way, and if you can relate bullying to hockey and sports, the message hits home." Teachers from the schools that have seen the presentation have shown their support for the program. Monique Sundlie, school counsellor from Cold Lake Elementary School, said the program fits together with the school's conflict resolution program: Kelso's Choices.
"We're going to meet a lot of people throughout our lifetime, and you're not always going to get along with everybody," said Robinson. "But learning to respect those you disagree with benefits society as a whole." Respect: It's The Name Of The Game will continue to run until the end of the Pontiacs' spring camp in April, after which the team disbands until August.

The growing world population will need more and more food and energy. Sustainable use of marine resources will help to meet this demand.
Norway is a maritime nation and has built up wide-ranging know-how on energy and marine resources. Norwegian experts have developed technology for sustainable development of natural resources. Our areas of expertise include renewable hydropower, fish and seafood, offshore oil and gas production, and fisheries and energy aid to developing countries.
Knowledge about the oceans and the resources they provide will continue to be vital for future generations. We must establish sound regimes for resource use so that the blue economy can grow sustainably. This means working towards high environmental standards that are enforced both nationally and internationally.
In 2017, the Government presented a new ocean strategy. It takes as a starting point Norway's history as a maritime nation, and focuses on the sustainable use and development of the oceans.
The total export value of crude oil and natural gas in 2015 was around NOK 450 billion. This is approximately 40 % of the total value of Norway's exports.
Norway has long experience of managing petroleum resources in a way that promotes sustainable economic growth and Norwegian welfare. We are now sharing this experience with 12 other countries through the Oil for Development programme.
Norway is the world's sixth largest hydropower producer, and the largest in Europe.
Huge areas of the oceans are still largely unexplored, and are likely to provide the world with minerals and other as yet undiscovered resources.
Researchers are concerned about the increasing amounts of plastic waste in the seas, and the consequences this will have for marine life.
In 2015, Norway exported an average of 36 million seafood meals every day.
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) is an intergovernmental organisation that was founded in 2009 to promote the use of renewable energy. IRENA has around 170 members.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) works to promote the development of alternative energy sources, rational energy policies and multinational energy technology cooperation. The IEA has 26 member countries.


Flow Design. As a designer, I focus on the elements that precede and cause flow. It is a mental state of operation in which I'm fully immersed, energized and focused. It is simply the optimal experience of spontaneous joy. As this experience emerges, the sense of control also manifests, creating an effortless, yet masterful design. Flowing like water. This represents me as a designer, as well as my work, flowing and changing rather than adhering to the repetitive forms. My work fits into a variety spaces, shapes, sizes and objects; its substance is like a flowing, changing liquid.

As violence in the Gaza Strip seriously worsens the plight of the 1.8 million people trapped in the coastal enclave, support and solidarity from the international community becomes increasingly important. On 27 July UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) Commissioner-General Pierre Krähenbühl met at UNRWA Headquarters in Amman with Jordan's Queen Rania Al Abdullah to discuss the severe crisis and to express the Agency's gratitude for the support of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
The present round of Israeli military operations and ground offensive, of air-strikes and rocket fire, have left hundreds dead and thousands injured. Over 170'000 people have sought shelter in UNRWA schools, facing uncertainty, anguish and risks to their lives. UNRWA premises have been damaged in large numbers and hit directly by shelling on four separate occasions, in Maghazi Camp, in Deir el Balah and in Beit Hanoun, causing death and injury among civilians who sought protection and shelter in those very premises.
When this latest conflict broke out in Gaza, UNRWA put in place an emergency response on 7 July. It appealed for USD$115 million in order to respond to the consequences of the crisis, including the immediate needs of displaced Palestinians and to address the initial recovery efforts once the hostilities will have come to an end. The response of donors has been encouraging to date, for which the Agency is grateful. It has also included donations from Palestinian businesses and private persons, for which UNRWA is particularly appreciative.
At the meeting, Mr. Krähenbuhl expressed the Agency's gratitude for Jordan's continued support in facilitating the flow of humanitarian supplies through the Jordanian Hashemite Charity Organization, including an airlift of supplies for Gaza from the International Humanitarian City, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. To date, the Hashemite Charity has facilitated the passage of over 75 aid convoys to Gaza.
Queen Rania and the Commissioner-General discussed ways to further strengthen the close cooperation between the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and UNRWA in addressing the needs of Palestinians in Gaza.

RUBINA'S RADAR | INDUSTRIALIST NESS WADIA AT THE CN WADIA GOLD CUP 2020 RACE DAY
One of the most beautiful, earth-to-sky open spaces in Mumbai is the Royal Western India Turf Club's racecourse at Mahalaxmi. The RWITC is one of the oldest and most well-known horse racing clubs in India. The landscape and architectural style of the oval-shaped 2400-metre Mahalaxmi race track is inspired by the Flemington Racecourse by the Maribyrnong River in Melbourne, Victoria (Australia). Flemington hosts Australia's most famous thoroughbred horse race, the Melbourne Cup, the richest two-mile handicap in the world and one of the richest turf races, on the first Tuesday of November every year. The first race was held on its grounds in 1861.
The Mahalaxmi race track's elite equestrian play has witnessed regal heads of state like Queen Elizabeth II of England attending its racing calendar in 1961, as also the Shah of Iran and the King of Saudi Arabia. The Mahalaxmi racecourse is of the essence in the architectural narrative of Mumbai, and the equestrian legacy of India. Founded in 1800 by Sir Charles Forbes, G. Hall, A. Campbell and P. Haddow as the Bombay Turf Club in the Byculla Club Grounds, it went on to being renamed the Western India Turf Club in 1864. But it was only when philanthropist and industrialist Sir Cusrow Nowrosjee Wadia donated 225 acres of land to the Western India Turf Club in 1878 and advanced an interest-free loan to the club to build the racecourse and grandstands, that it was built under the direction of Major J E Hughes, and horse racing shifted to its current and permanent home in Mahalaxmi in 1883. HRH King George V, the then Emperor of India, allowed the club to add the prefix 'Royal' to its name in 1935.

March 8, 2020 saw industrialist Ness Wadia in attendance, with his nephew Jah and niece Ella, at the 76th edition of the CN Wadia Gold Cup. The CN Wadia Gold Cup is held every year at the racecourse in Sir Cusrow Nowrosjee Wadia's honour for his largesse and equestrian patronage. Sir Cusrow was born to Nowrosjee Nusserwanjee Wadia (August 30, 1849 – December 19, 1899) who'd established the Bombay Dyeing & Manufacturing Co. for textiles in 1879. Nowrosjee was awarded the honour of Champion of the Indian Empire (CIE) by the British government in 1889 for his business strengths and extensive socio-economic philanthropy and his wife, Bai Jerbai Wadia, built baugs or housing colonies in Mumbai between 1908 and 1956 on more than 35 acres of land for lower income groups in the city. Inspired by their parents, both Cusrow and Ness, the sons of Nowrosjee and Bai Jerbai, built the Nowrosjee Wadia Maternity Hospital and the Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Women and Children in their memory and continued the philanthropic legacy they'd inherited till they were alive.

Mr Zavaray Poonawalla, Chairman, Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) lauded Wadia's philanthropic pursuits and thanked him profusely for his family's continued patronage of the racecourse. Poonawalla also honoured him with a commemorative trophy to mark the occasion. The CN Wadia Gold Cup 2020 (Gr. 2) was won by seven-year-old Vulcan, ridden by A. Sandesh, who also won three other races on the day.

After the race, children afflicted by heart ailments, who have been successfully treated by the Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children, performed a little song and dance routine in the paddock – a heartening moment for all. The little kids looked healthy and happy, and cheerfully posed for pictures in the warm, afternoon sun.

The CN Wadia Gold Cup is supported by the Wadia Group and their companies – Britannia Industries Ltd, Bombay Dyeing & Manufacturing Co, GoAir, Bombay Realty, Bombay Burmah Trading Company Ltd, National Peroxide Ltd, and the Wadia Hospitals.
"It is a moment of pride for me to represent the Wadia Group on this special occasion to commemorate the immense contributions made by Sir Cusrow Nowrosjee Wadia, not only as a successful businessman, but as a custodian of the legacy of philanthropy his parents left him. A keen horseracing enthusiast, Sir C N Wadia was instrumental in giving Mumbai it's first and only world-class racecourse, which is one of Mumbai's greatest architectural landmarks. The lasting legacy left behind by him has been a huge responsibility for successive generations of the Wadia family to carry on, and I am certain that our future generations will continue to walk the path laid down by him," said Wadia of his presence.

July 29, 2018 by admin 0 comments on "Online Casinos Compared to Brick and Mortar Casino"
A long time back when online casinos started to turn into very popular on the Internet, the proprietors of the brick and mortar mortar shops wished to ban them since they didn't want anything cutting into their earnings. Since that time a question stayed exactly the same- which kind of gambling is the best variety – enjoying a brick and mortar casino or even playing online? You will find a number of questions this you may look in to find out whether online casinos are much better than the brick and mortar casinos.
On-line gambling and mortar casino gambling are many diverse and each of these gets their own benefits and pitfalls. Physical casinos could possibly be scary for novices and so they often ask you to decorate, sail and set up with the audiences. On the flip side, the major benefit of playing online is the comfort. Both novice and novice players can gamble in the comfort of their own home.
One other terrific thing about internet casinos is you could discover amazing deals like deposit bonuses that are first,'complimentary' money, matching bonuses plus much more. Some casinos even offer better discounts than others, however, all of them are giving free money to play in their casino. For example, the signup bonus is a bonus for gamers to eventually become new clients of this online casino. The on-line websites de light in giving absolutely free awards, added bonuses like deposit bonusescasino or any casino credits to produce you maintain you playing.
While land based casinos usually do rush commissions, the access to these isn't always effortless, plus they don't provide you with many prizes and bonuses like casinos that are online. Moreover, you can find higher likelihood of winning at online casinos, specially in case you keep yourself under control and also manage your own money wisely.
Lots of players also discover that it's valuable to play many games online. Land casinos have a constrained space in which to offer their tables, even while on the Internet this problem doesn't exist at all. Because of this, online casinos offer a huge variety of table and card games along with a wide variety of multi-reel, solitary, video and jackpot slots. Jackpots at internet casinos tend to be larger than at B&M casinos.
There are lots of games that could be played online that are not found in brick and mortar casinos. Each of the video games is designed to mimic the action you'll find in any property . To help gamblers interact with other players at their desk, many online sites provide instant messaging software along with live chat 온라인카지노.
Aside from this, online casinos offer you the chance to restrain the tempo of those matches you play and also the money that you spend because there's absolutely no you to put pressure youpersonally. You even have the possiblity to engage in free in the"clinic" manner and soon you truly feel comfortable sufficient to set a Real Money wager. In this manner, it's possible for you to find out the basic match play rules and strategies with no fear of making errors. The next factor to take into account about participating in online is always to locate US Casino Player Sites. Perhaps not many on-line casinos accept US gamers. Together with these attributes, alternatives and functionalities provided by the online atmosphere, it isn't tricky to understand why more and additional gamblers decide to play in online casino establishments.

Q: admin aoolbar add_node() and pulling in my post slug I have created custom post types that use custom endpoints to load the correct template based upon the content the user is viewing.
I created custom Admin Toolbar menu items.
  $wp_adminbar->add_node([
    'id' => 'svcta-view-directory-hotel',
    'title' => 'Launch Hotel View',
    'href' => home_url('/directory/hotels/SLUG/stay'),
    'meta' => [ 'target' => 'blank' ]
  ]);

In home_url('/directory/hotels/SLUG/stay') – How can I pull the slug of the current custom post type entry being edited?
For example, when I edit this entry: http://svcta.lainternet.biz/directory/micah-test-all/stay/
The standard "View Listing" link goes to http://svcta.lainternet.biz/directory/micah-test-all/ - This is broken because it doesn't load the custom endpoint "/stay/".
I need a new custom link that will open a new tab and show this Custom Post Type entry on the correct
"/stay/" endpoint.
I searched for a few hours and couldn't find any solutions.
Thanks for the help!
Micah

A: if you want to customise the links in the backend list, you can use this filter :
add_filter("post_row_actions", function ($actions, \WP_Post $post) {

    if ("custom_post_type_slug" === $post->post_type) {

        // modify a existing action or add a new in $actions

        $actions["other link"] = "other link";

    }

    return $actions;

}, 10, 2);

La buclizine est un antihistaminique dérivé de la pipérazine. Elle a des propriétés antihistaminiques, par antagonisme des récepteurs histaminique H1, anticholinergiques, par antagonisme des récepteurs muscariniques de l'acétylcholine,  et adrénolytiques. Elle occasionne un effet sédatif marqué. Elle a été commercialisé en France sous le nom "Aphilan" pour le traitement des manifestations allergiques (rhinite, conjonctivite, urticaire). Elle a été aussi utilisée comme antiémétique et comme antivertigineux (hors AMM). Elle n'est plus commercialisé depuis 2008 (en France).
La buclizine est considérée être un antiémétique similaire à la  méclozine<ref>G. A. E. Mostafa,  A. A. Al-Badr, "Buclizine, Profiles of drug substances, excipients, and related methodology, 2011, vol. 36, pp. 1–33. , , .</ref>.

 Stéréochimie
La buclizine est chirale. En effet, elle possède un atome de carbone asymétrique, celui du pont méthylène enrre les deux cycles aromatiques et directement lié à l'atome d'azote de la partie pipérazine. La buclizine se présente donc comme une paire d'énantiomères :
 (4R)-1-[(4-tert-butylphényl)méthyl]-4-[(4-chlorophényl)(phényl)méthyl]pipérazine
 (4S'')-1-[(4-tert-butylphényl)méthyl]-4-[(4-chlorophényl)(phényl)méthyl]pipérazine

Describe the role that protists play in the ecosystem
Describe important pathogenic species of protists
Protists function in various ecological niches. Whereas some protist species are essential components of the food chain and generators of biomass, others function in the decomposition of organic materials. Still other protists are dangerous human pathogens or causative agents of devastating plant diseases.
Primary Producers/Food Sources
Protists are essential sources of nutrition for many other organisms. In some cases, as in plankton, protists are consumed directly. Alternatively, photosynthetic protists serve as producers of nutrition for other organisms. For instance, photosynthetic dinoflagellates called zooxanthellae use sunlight to fix inorganic carbon. In this symbiotic relationship, these protists provide nutrients for coral polyps ([link]) that house them, giving corals a boost of energy to secrete a calcium carbonate skeleton. In turn, the corals provide the protist with a protected environment and the compounds needed for photosynthesis. This type of symbiotic relationship is important in nutrient-poor environments. Without dinoflagellate symbionts, corals lose algal pigments in a process called coral bleaching, and they eventually die. This explains why reef-building corals do not reside in waters deeper than 20 meters: insufficient light reaches those depths for dinoflagellates to photosynthesize.
Coral polyps obtain nutrition through a symbiotic relationship with dinoflagellates.
The protists themselves and their products of photosynthesis are essential—directly or indirectly—to the survival of organisms ranging from bacteria to mammals ([link]). As primary producers, protists feed a large proportion of the world's aquatic species. (On land, terrestrial plants serve as primary producers.) In fact, approximately one-quarter of the world's photosynthesis is conducted by protists, particularly dinoflagellates, diatoms, and multicellular algae.
Virtually all aquatic organisms depend directly or indirectly on protists for food. (credit "mollusks": modification of work by Craig Stihler, USFWS; credit "crab": modification of work by David Berkowitz; credit "dolphin": modification of work by Mike Baird; credit "fish": modification of work by Tim Sheerman-Chase; credit "penguin": modification of work by Aaron Logan)
Protists do not create food sources only for sea-dwelling organisms. For instance, certain anaerobic parabasalid species exist in the digestive tracts of termites and wood-eating cockroaches, where they contribute an essential step in the digestion of cellulose ingested by these insects as they bore through wood.
Human Pathogens
A pathogen is anything that causes disease. Parasites live in or on an organism and harm the organism. A significant number of protists are pathogenic parasites that must infect other organisms to survive and propagate. Protist parasites include the causative agents of malaria, African sleeping sickness, and waterborne gastroenteritis in humans. Other protist pathogens prey on plants, effecting massive destruction of food crops.
Plasmodium Species
Members of the genus Plasmodium must colonize both a mosquito and a vertebrate to complete their life cycle. In vertebrates, the parasite develops in liver cells and goes on to infect red blood cells, bursting from and destroying the blood cells with each asexual replication cycle ([link]). Of the four Plasmodium species known to infect humans, P. falciparum accounts for 50 percent of all malaria cases and is the primary cause of disease-related fatalities in tropical regions of the world. In 2010, it was estimated that malaria caused between one-half and one million deaths, mostly in African children. During the course of malaria, P. falciparum can infect and destroy more than one-half of a human's circulating blood cells, leading to severe anemia. In response to waste products released as the parasites burst from infected blood cells, the host immune system mounts a massive inflammatory response with episodes of delirium-inducing fever as parasites lyse red blood cells, spilling parasite waste into the bloodstream. P. falciparum is transmitted to humans by the African malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae. Techniques to kill, sterilize, or avoid exposure to this highly aggressive mosquito species are crucial to malaria control.
Red blood cells are shown to be infected with P. falciparum, the causative agent of malaria. In this light microscopic image taken using a 100× oil immersion lens, the ring-shaped P. falciparum stains purple. (credit: modification of work by Michael Zahniser; scale-bar data from Matt Russell)
Link to Learning
This movie depicts the pathogenesis of Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of malaria.
Trypanosomes
Trypanosoma brucei, the parasite that is responsible for African sleeping sickness, confounds the human immune system by changing its thick layer of surface glycoproteins with each infectious cycle ([link]). The glycoproteins are identified by the immune system as foreign antigens, and a specific antibody defense is mounted against the parasite. However, T. brucei has thousands of possible antigens, and with each subsequent generation, the protist switches to a glycoprotein coating with a different molecular structure. In this way, T. brucei is capable of replicating continuously without the immune system ever succeeding in clearing the parasite. Without treatment, T. brucei attacks red blood cells, causing the patient to lapse into a coma and eventually die. During epidemic periods, mortality from the disease can be high. Greater surveillance and control measures lead to a reduction in reported cases; some of the lowest numbers reported in 50 years (fewer than 10,000 cases in all of sub-Saharan Africa) have happened since 2009.
This movie discusses the pathogenesis of Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of African sleeping sickness.
In Latin America, another species, T. cruzi, is responsible for Chagas disease. T. cruzi infections are mainly caused by a blood-sucking bug. The parasite inhabits heart and digestive system tissues in the chronic phase of infection, leading to malnutrition and heart failure due to abnormal heart rhythms. An estimated 10 million people are infected with Chagas disease, and it caused 10,000 deaths in 2008.
Trypanosomes are shown among red blood cells. (credit: modification of work by Dr. Myron G. Shultz; scale-bar data from Matt Russell)
Plant Parasites
Protist parasites of terrestrial plants include agents that destroy food crops. The oomycete Plasmopara viticola parasitizes grape plants, causing a disease called downy mildew ([link]). Grape plants infected with P. viticola appear stunted and have discolored, withered leaves. The spread of downy mildew nearly collapsed the French wine industry in the nineteenth century.
Both downy and powdery mildews on this grape leaf are caused by an infection of P. viticola. (credit: modification of work by USDA)
Phytophthora infestans is an oomycete responsible for potato late blight, which causes potato stalks and stems to decay into black slime ([link]). Widespread potato blight caused by P. infestans precipitated the well-known Irish potato famine in the nineteenth century that claimed the lives of approximately 1 million people and led to the emigration of at least 1 million more from Ireland. Late blight continues to plague potato crops in certain parts of the United States and Russia, wiping out as much as 70 percent of crops when no pesticides are applied.
These unappetizing remnants result from an infection with P. infestans, the causative agent of potato late blight. (credit: USDA)
Agents of Decomposition
The fungus-like protist saprobes are specialized to absorb nutrients from nonliving organic matter, such as dead organisms or their wastes. For instance, many types of oomycetes grow on dead animals or algae. Saprobic protists have the essential function of returning inorganic nutrients to the soil and water. This process allows for new plant growth, which in turn generates sustenance for other organisms along the food chain. Indeed, without saprobe species, such as protists, fungi, and bacteria, life would cease to exist as all organic carbon became "tied up" in dead organisms.
Section Summary
Protists function at several levels of the ecological food web: as primary producers, as direct food sources, and as decomposers. In addition, many protists are parasites of plants and animals that can cause deadly human diseases or destroy valuable crops.
An example of carbon fixation is _____________.
Which parasitic protist evades the host immune system by altering its surface proteins with each generation?
Paramecium caudatum
Trypanosoma brucei
Plasmodium falciparum
Phytophthora infestans
Free Response
How does killing Anopheles mosquitoes affect the Plasmodium protists?
Plasmodium parasites infect humans and cause malaria. However, they must complete part of their life cycle within Anopheles mosquitoes, and they can only infect humans via the bite wound of a mosquito. If the mosquito population is decreased, then fewer Plasmodium would be able to develop and infect humans, thereby reducing the incidence of human infections with this parasite.
Without treatment, why does African sleeping sickness invariably lead to death?
The trypanosomes that cause this disease are capable of expressing a glycoprotein coat with a different molecular structure with each generation. Because the immune system must respond to specific antigens to raise a meaningful defense, the changing nature of trypanosome antigens prevents the immune system from ever clearing this infection. Massive trypanosome infection eventually leads to host organ failure and death.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has wound up a settlement with the former chief financial officer of Beazer Homes USA to retrieve his bonus compensation and stock sale profits generated when the Atlanta-based homebuilder was defrauding its reports.
Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires James O'Leary to reimburse Beazer more than $1.4 million that he got after Beazer filed for accounting fraud detected during fiscal year 2006, according to the SEC's complaint filed in federal court in Atlanta.
However, it stated that James O'Leary is not personally charged with misconduct. The SEC's settlement with O'Leary is subject to court approval.
Under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, senior corporate executives are required to reimburse certain compensation and stock sale profits received while their companies do not comply with financial reporting requirements due to misconduct. This can include an individual who has not been personally charged with the underlying misconduct or alleged to have otherwise violated the federal securities laws.
O'Leary did not admit or deny the allegations, but agreed to reimburse Beazer $1,431,022 in cash within 30 days of entry of the court order approving the settlement. This amount includes O'Leary's entire fiscal year 2006 incentive bonus: $1,024,764 in cash incentive compensation and $131,733 previously received from Beazer in exchange for all restricted stock units he received as additional incentive compensation for fiscal year 2006.
The settlement amount also includes $274,525 in stock sale profits.
Last March, the SEC reached a settlement with Beazer CEO Ian McCarthy to recover several million dollars in bonus compensation and stock profits that he received while the company was committingaccounting fraud.
In September 2008, Beazer settled an SEC enforcement action, and in July 2009, the SEC charged its former chief accounting officer Michael Rand in July 2009.
Rand began reversing these improper reserves starting first quarter of fiscal year 2006 in order to offset Beazer's declining financial performance.
The litigation against Rand, who was charged of committing the fraud, is ongoing.
"Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act encourages senior management to take affirmative steps to prevent fraudulent accounting schemes from occurring on their watch," said Rhea Kemble Dignam, Director of the SEC's Atlanta Regional Office.

American ties (II)
Claude Fischer, professor of sociology | February 3, 2011
The American family has changed greatly in the last couple of generations – some call that change a "breakdown" and others prefer a term like "evolution." For one, the family starts later; that is, Americans marry and have their first children at an older age they used to. For another, the family is smaller, with fewer children. The decline in family size largely took place in the '60s and '70s and then leveled off. Fewer children born since the 1960s means that today's adults have fewer sibs, aunts, uncles, and cousins than Americans did 40 years ago. A rough calculation suggests that the average American today has about 25% fewer blood kin than the average American of the 1970s had.
A.F. Burns, U. of FL.
But what most people mean when they say the family has changed, broken down, or evolved is less about the quantity and more about the quality of family ties – something about how much people are involved with kin, rely on kin, care about kin. That is a lot harder to measure than simple numbers, but there are fragmentary survey data. And they suggest a complex picture of change and continuity.
(Disclosure: This post is part of an occasional series drawing from my new book, Still Connected: Family and Friends in America since 1970. Further details can be found there. A previous post focused on friends and confidants.)
One common impression is that American families – parents and their children – are not spending as much time together as they used to. And there is some truth to that perception. For example, between the 1970s and 1990s, the Roper polling organization asked parents about how often they did various things "as a family," such as entertaining or visiting friends, watching television, or talking. Generally, the percentage who said they did so frequently went up and down, but the trend was toward fewer whole-family events.
In the graph below, the blue dots show the percentage of parents who said that they "frequently" ate meals together as a family during the work week (presumably understood as eating at home). Those reports seemed to become less common over time (the blue line). Other surveys suggest similar trends. A 2009 poll asked respondents why they sometimes did not eat together as a family. The most common explanations were that "people are working late" and, among parents, that "kids have activities that conflict with dinner." Consistent with the "busy family" explanation are answers in the same Roper polls to a question asking parents how often they ate out as a family. The red diamonds in the figure suggest that American families started going out to eat together more often during those same years.
The simplest explanation for these trends is that so many more mothers worked in the 1990s than in the early 1970s. In addition, more kids participated in after-school activities. Both developments made it a bit harder for families to have dinner at home together and even to do other things together; they also made catching a meal out an easy way to handle the time pressure. (For a fuller look at contemporary American families' struggles with time, see here.)
Survey researchers have regularly asked Americans how often they see their relatives – parents, siblings, and so forth. The answers have changed very little in the last four decades. (There is an interesting wrinkle, however: Survey respondents reported, on average, a little less contact with their fathers. That is explained by the fact that more adults in the 2000s than in the 1970s had grown up without their fathers at home.) The most complete data on contact with kin comes from the General Social Survey's question asking respondents how often they spent "a social evening with relatives." As the figure below shows, the percentage who said they did so at least several times a month varied little over nearly four decades – even though Americans had somewhat fewer relatives to see in the 2000s. Comparable evidence suggest that Americans today talk to or contact their relatives as often or, probably, more often than Americans did a few decades ago.
Support and caring
The key issue, of course, is how much people rely on and care for their immediate families and other relatives. This is a more complex issue than it seems at first glance, because families and relatives are simultaneously the greatest source of support and love that we have and the greatest source of demands and aggravation that we have. This balance is hard to measure, but the pieces of evidence that we have (discussed in Still Connected) suggests that, on average, Americans' ties to their kin are as or more secure and loving now as they were in the 1970s.
How can that be, given the widespread impression of exactly the opposite, that family bonds have withered? One answer is that our impressions of the past are systematically distorted in a rosy direction. (For example, we tend to remember the "past" in the form of our own childhoods and, for most of us, those were innocent years. Did parents talk in the front of the little children about, say, Aunt Mildred's abusive first marriage?) Another answer is that the harder economic times most Americans faced since the early 1970s have pushed more of them to depend on relatives. A third answer is that family is so important to Americans that they make sure that whatever else is going on — mothers working, technological marvels, cultural earthquakes, and the like – they stay connected.
Family valuing shows up in various surveys. One survey asked Americans how important family was too them. In the 1990s and 2000s, virtually all Americans said family was "very important" (while the percentage who said work was very important slipped from about 60 to about 30 percent). In another survey, more Americans in the 2000s than in 1980s said that they wanted to spend "much more" time with their families. And, between the 1970s and 2000s, a growing percentage of Americans said that they thought it was a "good idea" for the elderly to live with their children and grandchildren. (It was younger Americans and not the elderly who were most likely to endorse this plan.)
Worrying about the fragility of the family is a perennial activity; Americans have worried aloud about its imminent collapse for generations (with the possible exception of the 1950s when many experts worried that the family was too smothering). So, it is no wonder that we worry, too. And the family certainly has changed. But Americans still cling to their families and their family values.

History of The Anglers and Teddington
The Anglers has existed since the mid 18th century in various forms – mainly as an Inn, Hotel and latterly Public house. The place was popular among local fishermen, who would spend hours on the river shore. Acquired by Fuller, Smith and Turner Brewery of Chiswick around 2010.
A weir was in place on the Thames at Teddington by 1345, although it was destroyed about 1535. A new lock was opened in 1811. Since 1811, the weir has marked the end of the tidal reach of the river. Prior to 1811, the tide used to go as far upriver as Walton, and occasionally even to Staines.
Teddington Lock is a complex of three locks and a weir, consisting of a conventional launch lock, a very large barge lock and a small skiff lock. Monty Python's Fish Slapping Dance was filmed at the Lock in the early '70's, it culminates with Michael Palin being whacked into the lock by John Cleese with a huge fish and is enormously funny.
Teddington Lock Footbridge consists of two separate bridges. There is a small island between the bridges. The two footbridges were built between 1887 and 1889, funded by donations from residents and businesses. They replaced a ferry which gave its name to Ferry Road at the bottom of the garden. The western bridge consists of a suspension bridge crossing the weir stream and linking the island to Middlesex (this side). The eastern bridge is an iron girder bridge crossing the lock cut and linking the island to Ham on the Surrey bank.

Don't waste your money on airfare, save that cash for more yoga classes!
Below my boyfriend explains how to travel for hardly any money at all!
Sign up for a new credit card with a large sign up bonus. I'll give you a suggestion of which card to start with in a bit.
Spend a minimum amount (typically between $1,000 and $4,000) on the credit card in the first 3 months. I suggest spending only money that you would be spending on a credit card anyway. Make sure you will be able to meet the minimum spend before applying.
Receive the bonus (typically 40,000+ miles or roughly enough for an off-peak round-trip to Hawaii or Europe).
Book a miles ticket (pay only taxes and fees). Ashley and I are flying round trip to New Zealand for around $150 each by using this technique!
Annual Fee: most cards have an annual fee that they waive in the first year. I typically downgrade (preferable) to a no-annual-fee card or cancel my card before paying this fee in the second year. Some cards don't waive the fee in the first year and you will need to calculate if paying the fee is worth the bonus or not.
Referral Bonuses: many cards give bonuses if you refer your friends to a card that you have. Typically the sign up bonus for the new cardholder is the same whether you use a referral link or not. When I sign up for a new card, I check to see if anyone I know already has the card so they can get an extra bonus if possible (my brother-in-law got an extra 10,000 miles for the last card I signed up for).
Chase 5/24: Chase Bank has some of the best rewards cards on the market today. They also have the strictest approval rules. If you have applied for 5 or more credit cards in the last 24 months, then you will be automatically rejected for a new card. This makes Chase a particularly good company to start with while you don't have many recent credit card applications.
Some people go to extreme lengths to maximize the efficiency of their credit card sign ups. I prefer simpler approach based around flexibility. With this in mind, the best card to start with is the Chase Sapphire Preferred card, which has a bonus offer of 50,000 Chase Ultimate Reward Points after spending $4,000 in the first 3 months.
Ashley here! If you have a business, you can really maximize the number of points that you are able to get by signing up for personal and business cards that get you points on the same airline, that is a big part of what has made this New Zealand trip possible.
Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority Credit Card – You can earn 40,000 points and I can be rewarded too!


Looking for a top quality, heavy duty and robust tiller steer open dory? Been to the boat show and now have "sticker shock" at the price of a kitted-out package? Well, have we found a rig for you, this "as new" condition Mako Craft 455 Commander Pro package was picked up new in March 2018 and due to unforeseen reasons is now offered for sale.
This rig offers the new boat a genuine alternative package at a second hand price of only $18,495 tow away enjoying the balance of manufacturers engine warranty and owing something that will be at home in the bay crabbing for "Sandies" or in Weipa chasing the 100cm plus Barra! Use the big 7" colour screen Lowrance Elite to find the fish with the upgraded Structure Scan transducer fitted – if you haven't seen these in action, check Lowrance's YouTube channel – simply awesome!
As the photos depict this huge open package has loads of room and we love how the 2 x 24l fuel tanks have been located under the floor for balance and offers more storage room in the rear of the boat under the deck. The bow has the huge casting platform – flicking lures at the Jack, setting up the pots, throwing the cast net for the livies.... dooh... back to writing in my office!
No one likes carving holes in the gunnels for rod holders and this owner didn't either and went to the expense of installing numerous rod holder fittings on the rails, I think 6 rod holders from memory are installed. A live bait tank will keep the "livie" angler happy and how much space is there under the bow casting platform? Just like some of the other awesome makes out there like the Top Ender, Outlaw and Territory boats this Mako from Stessl Family (built by Horizon Boats) is first class!
Trailering is easy on the Dunbier 4.3S manufactured new in July 2017 as it also presents in as new condition and includes a spare wheel for additional on-road towing safety. Like all trailers sold through JCM we ensure your towing a reliable and safe trailer as our workshop inspects/adjusts/repairs all trailers where needed prior to your collection – why take the risk or assume all is OK if buying privately?
This is one genuine package ideally set up for the sports and estuary fisherman and offering exceptional buying at under $20K tow away!

NBA 2K21 On Next-Gen Replaces The Neighborhood With Bigger, More Layered Environment
Brian MaziqueContributor
I cover sports video games and WWE.
Credit: NBA 2K
The mode formerly known as the Neighborhood is no longer the feature without an official name.
It's called The City, and there are some major takeaways from the blog 2K released introducing their newest MyPlayer-connected feature. I got an advanced look at the blog written by executive producer Erick Boenisch.
Here is a summary from 2K's blog of what the City is:
"Imagine a map that is many, many times larger than previous Neighborhoods. A design that resembles a modern metropolis, complete with towering skyscrapers, sprawling plazas, and a city center. Oh, and it houses four distinct boroughs that are controlled by four rival Affiliations. And with that, I'm incredibly proud to announce that Affiliations are BACK! I'll go into more details on Affiliations a little further below. For now, let's keep painting the picture of what The City truly is. The City is our most ambitious execution of a virtual basketball community...ever. The sheer amount and variety of buildings and basketball courts that we were able to create and fit into the map still amazes me to this day!"
Here is a look at some of the other standout points.
Affiliations Return
Many fans have clamored for the return of affiliations and 2K has obliged.
This year, the new City environment will include the North Side Knights, South Side Vipers, Beasts of the East, and the Western Wildcats as the directional representatives that rep for the aforementioned boroughs.
Cyberpunk 2077's Panam Is One Of The Best NPCs Of The Generation
Bungie, Destiny 2 And The Unspoken Fork In The Road
How Destiny 2's Is Changing Its Seasons With The Xivu Arath Arc
Here is a quote from that portion of the blog:
"The City is big. The return of Affiliations, however, may be just as big - if not bigger. For some years now, one of the most requested features from the NBA 2K community has been Affiliation-based gameplay. Naturally, we're incredibly excited to bring it back in a meaningful way that offers competitive depth to the City. This is something we have wanted to do for a number of years now, and the power of the next-gen consoles finally affords us the opportunity to see our vision through."
This year, 2K is introducing a voting concept into the City, and it could become a social media phenomenon depending on how 2K handles it. Here's how it is explained.
"Each Affiliation will be represented by a Mayor; they will be very influential in your day-to-day experience within The City. So what is a Mayor, and what do they do? And how do they become elected?"
The Mayors will have specific privileges, and are being positioned to become 2K celebrities of sort. Here are some of those privileges:
"Affiliation Videos - Mayors will be creating assorted videos during their term that will appear in-game on the jumbotrons in the court areas. You can expect your Mayor to emit rallying cries and motivate the members of the Affiliation to perform at the peak of their abilities. After all, like you, they want to run The City!
● Custom Playlists - Mayors can curate custom music playlists that only play within their respective borough/affiliation boundaries. This is actually a great feature in that each Affiliation court area will have its own vibe based on the musical selections of the current Mayor. As you move away from one court area, you will hear the music slowly fade away as you get further away. Simultaneously, you'll be approaching a new court area and hear new beats starting to get louder with each step. It is the small details like this that you will find immerse you completely in the experience of The City!
● Court Design - There will be events during a Mayor's reign where if their Affiliation comes out victorious, they will have the responsibility of designing what the courts look like for their borough. Will they choose a thematic design that represents the mascot? Will they just ask for Lakers courts? They need to be thinking re-election here with every decision made!
● Mural Design - Like Court Design above, there will be opportunities for Affiliations to customize the look of their court areas with highly stylized murals to really set the tone for the location when rival players come to visit!
● Uniform Selection - When it comes time to formally battle the other Affiliations head-to-head, the Mayor will have the unique opportunity to select the uniform that all members will wear as they stream onto the courts of their rivals. Dressing for success will be the order here; Rival Days will be monumental periods of time during the season."
Mayors will also be interacting with their constituents via in-game polls and messaging that is all conveniently built directly into the menu system of The City.
2K will begin the cycle with four influencers in place as mayor, and each term will last six weeks. There will be a new election to establish new mayors from the community, or an option to re-elect the last mayor.
It's an interesting concept especially when you consider how close this announcement comes to the Presidential election.
Rent-a-Court
The Gatorade Training Facility is now two floors. The first one is a revamped version of the one you're used to, but the second might be the place sees the most action.
There is a "rent-a-court" option where you, friends and people you've met in The City can go to play against each other in uninterrupted matches.
"The second floor houses a great new feature in The City: Rental Courts. Want an uninterrupted run of games with your friends or other ballers you just met? Rent a court in the Gatorade Training Facility and play games however you want!"
This is interesting because I'm wondering will you actually need to "rent" the space, per se. I'm hoping 2K doesn't charge VC for the space, and if they do, it better come with a MyLeague-level of stat tracking and impeccable server stability.
If the "rent" portion of the concept isn't to be taken literally, this could be a great place to host competitive matches.
Garage Hoops
Players in the City will have a basketball at their disposal as they travel through the neighborhood. This is a pretty cool concept because random hoops through the various neighborhoods will help to facilitate random pick-up games.
Here's the explanation:
"Exploration is a major part of experiencing The City. Sprinkled around The City, you will find basketball hoops attached to the side of some buildings - if you look close enough. If you happen to see one, try pulling out your basketball and shooting some hoops with it. If another player passes by and sees you shooting, they will have the ability to step on the court and shoot with you. From there you will have the option to quickly and seamlessly launch into 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, HORSE, and many other game types. Its simplicity is its strong point. And as an added bonus, there are large VC multipliers you can earn on these courts each day for your first five games played! This is a great place to start your day off as you warm up for the main event at your affiliation's courts."
I love this concept for several reasons. First, it's nice to be able to upgrade your MyPlayer while doing things like this in the different neighborhoods. Secondly, the constant dribbling through the boroughs will likely make a ton of people better ball-handlers, the same way dribbling a real basketball constantly affects that skill.
Visually, the event centers are about as impressive as anything we've seen on the next-gen version. There is special lighting and other effects that will deliver an atmosphere that doesn't really exist in any other sports video game.
Boenisch wrote:
"The heart of The City is the brand new Event Center, shining like a bright beacon, no matter which borough you view it from. Equally bright and shiny are the many different interiors of this futuristic monolith, where the court floors and walls are lined with dynamic LED screens and lighting elements that change the tone and vibe of the setting. All new and returning Events will be held inside the Event Center, and special intra-Affiliation competitions will take place here as well."
More Hairstyles for MyPlayers
We've seen a glimpse of what the MyPlayer builder will look like like, but thanks to the blog, we learned there will be a heavier layer of customization for players.
That includes more hairstyles and other individualistic aspects of MyPlayer creation. Take a look at the complete blog, but this gives a heads up of some of the main areas of focus for The City.

The junior and top seed defeated teammate Jack Barker in straight sets.
Blake junior Ben Ingbar said it's tougher competing against a teammate than a typical opponent, noting the familiarity each has with the other.
That didn't stop him from defeating teammate Jack Barker to win the Class 1A singles championship Friday at Reed-Sweatt Family Tennis Center in south Minneapolis.
Ingbar, the top seed, defeated the No. 2 seed Barker 7-5, 7-6 (6-3) to win his first individual state title. Ingbar rallied in the first set after trailing 3-1 and closed out Barker, a sophomore, in a tiebreaker.
"I thought I was just playing really solid," said Ingbar, who lost last year's Class 1A final to teammate Charlie Adams and won the doubles title in 2014.
Blake coach Ted Warner said he thought the match was the highest-quality tennis he's seen in a final for a long time. Sometimes one teammate may be a little nervous in these situations, but not in this case, he said.
Ingbar and Barker have played together on Blake's varsity team for three years. The two hit with each other at practice, Adams said, and improved dramatically from the start of the season.
Barker won three of the first four games Friday before Ingbar closed the set on a 6-2 run. The two traded games to start the second set before Ingbar won the tiebreaker.
Blake junior Owen Rickert and eighth-grader Joe Mairs won the doubles title over St. Peter senior Zeke Haugen and sophomore Rafat Solaiman, 6-3, 6-1.
Blake has won the singles and doubles titles every year since 2013.

Bayley: From Fan to Superstar - Part 2
By Jon Waldman October 24, 2016
Photo: WWE, Inc.
Recently, TrishStratus.com sat down with WWE Superstar Bayley for a one-on-one chat. Below is part two of this exclusive interview.
Part 2: Breaking out in WWE
When conversation about today's female Superstars in WWE turns to the names that will lead the charge for a new era of elite heroes, one of the names that comes up near instantly is Bayley.
Already in her young career, the Raw Superstar has accomplished a great deal, including holding the NXT Women's Championship, a title she gained by defeating Sasha Banks at NXT TakeOver: Brookyn in 2015. That match has been labelled by many as being among the greats in women's wrestling history and even won the Match of the Year honor in NXT in 2015.
"Every so often, since I retired, a female competitor would come across my screen who would genuinely get me behind them and cheering for them. Bayley is definitely one of those stars," Trish Stratus says of the current Raw Superstar. "You look at everything she does in the ring, see the passion she carries and hear these wonderful stories of the connection she's made with her fans and you can't help but fall in love with her."
The dream to get to this point, where Bayley is uttered in the same breath as other Raw Superstars as Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens as the lead faces of the brand, was one that Bayley always ambitioned for and set her sights on, despite the lingering question of if it was truly accomplishable; but looking towards Trish Stratus and Lita for inspiration, she saw indeed that the level of stardom was attainable.
"I always knew that I wanted to do this, but you always have that doubt in the back of your mind," she says. "WWE always seemed far-fetched and I never believed I'd actually get there, though it was always a goal. Once I finally got here, I was going to do the best I could and in my mind I thought I'd get to that spot; but the fact that it actually happened gave me more motivation to take it to the next level. It sounds cliche, but hopefully we can be the next Trish and Lita."
After an incredible campaign in NXT, Bayley made the ascent to the WWE main roster officially this past summer. Previously, she was called up for a match at Battleground 2016 to stand beside Sasha against Charlotte and Dana Brooke, a moment that she recalled being filled with emotion once she got back to her hotel room after the event. The actual solid spot on the main roster, though, had a different feeling.
"When I debuted, I was a little more focused. I was emotional leading up to it, right before the curtain, because I knew my mom was there," she says. "From then on it was no more NXT, it was straight WWE."
What has built the opportunity in large part for Bayley and peers such as Sasha, Charlotte and Becky Lynch is that there is a defined sisterhood among the wrestlers. In the past, Trish has spoken about how there were no behind-the-scenes rivalries that would have worked against the "Golden Era" Superstars' progress up the ladder, and Bayley sees much the same environment today. Though she now travels with the girls from Raw, in particular it was fellow NXT graduate, Carmella, who Bayley bonded with.
"We became really close and she was someone I traveled with to every single show. We've shared hard times like following matches we didn't care for or didn't go our way, and we've shared good times when we went outside Florida," Bayley says.
It is, in fact, the "Princess of Staten Island" who Bayley sees as being the most similar to Stratus from the current women's roster.
"She was a little bit different as far as she didn't come from wrestling, but neither did Trish and she came out so successfully," she says. "It sounds kind of weird but I've always compared Carmella to Trish because Carmella was a cheerleader and dancer, but she was so athletic and once she started training with NXT, I knew she was a hard worker and just had that natural ability."
The hard work that Bayley describes can be seen up and down the women's roster and the result has led to some incredible milestones. Last year, Bayley and Sasha became the first women to headline a WWE special event when their Iron Women Match (also a first) main evented TakeOver, and upcoming, Sasha and Charlotte will be the first female Superstars to enter Hell in a Cell.
There are goals that still lay ahead for Bayley, and with the determination the young Superstar has shown, there's nothing stopping her from reaching all plateaus.

La route 21 est une route provinciale de l'Ontario suivant la rive est du lac Huron. Nommée Bluewater Trail sur toute sa longueur, elle s'étend sur 226,8 kilomètres en passant principalement dans Goderich, Kincardine et Owen Sound. Elle permet de relier la ville de Sarnia (via l'autoroute 402) à Owen Sound.

Tracé
La 21 commence à Warwick, sur l'autoroute 402 (sortie 34), en direction de Sarnia et de Port Huron (vers l'ouest) ou de London. La route 21 se dirige vers le nord pendant une vingtaine de kilomètres jusqu'à la rive du lac Huron après avoir traversé Forest. Elle commence à partir de ce point à suivre la rive est du lac Huron en frôlant la limite du Pinery Provincial Park (Parc provincial Pinery) en traversant les municipalités de Grand Bend, Bayfield et Goderich. À Goderich, la 21 croise la route 8 en direction de Clinton et de Stratford. La route 21 continue ensuite sa route vers le nord-nord-est en suivant toujours la rive est du lac Huron en croisant la route 9 à Kincardine et en passant dans Tiverton, Port Elgin et Southampton. À Southampton, la route 21 se détache du lac Huron pour se diriger vers Owen Sound, où elle se termine dans le centre-ville après avoir formé un multiplex avec la route 10.
