Our Horrible Media: Ma'Khia Bryant Edition
By Matthew Hoy on April 21, 2021
Yesterday, right around the time the verdict came in the Minneapolis murder trial of former police officer Derrick Chauvin a police were called to an altercation in Columbus, Ohio. Shortly after arriving on the scene, the officer shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant.
As has become the norm, social media accounts spurred a narrative that Bryant was yet another black victim of police violence citing Bryant's aunt and mother. The aunt, Hazel Bryant, alleged that Bryant herself had called police to the scene because "someone in her house was abusing her."
That initial Daily Beast article appeared to inform other reporting in the initial hours, and the claims of Bryant's family members were parroted without the slightest bit of skepticism or restraint. The victim's aunt told reporters that there was a knife "on the ground," but not that her niece was wielding it.
She went on to say that police saw a knife on the ground near Makiyah [sic] and shot the teenager four times.
This was not true.
It also seems unlikely that, contrary to the family's initial story, Ma'Khia was the one who made the phone call.
Our Horrible Media: Maintaining the Narrative
Columbus Police moved with alacrity not often seen to release the police officer's bodycam video of the shooting. Prior to showing the video, Interim Police Chief Michael Woods told reporters that a 911 call had been received and a caller reported that "females were trying to stab them."
That's the context for what occurs when the police officer arrives at the scene.
It's clear why Columbus PD were anxious to get the video out. The video puts the "victim's" family's claims to the lie. As you can see from the screenshot at the top of the page, the knife wasn't "on the ground" nearby; it was in her hand. In the brief few seconds after the officer arrived on the scene Ma'Khia attacks two people. As the officer fires, Ma'Khia is pressing a girl in pink against a car and she is attempting to stab the girl with what looks like a 4-6 inch knife.
Ma'Khia had a deadly weapon and a bystander, also a young, black girl, was moments away from being stabbed, perhaps fatally.
These are inconvenient facts for a media that is mainly interested in fomenting civic unrest for ratings and clicks.
Our Horrible Media: The U.S. Sun
The U.S. Sun, a version of the U.K. tabloid The Sun, has perhaps the most dishonest reporting on this case, and that's saying something.
The U.S. Sun story is similar to the British version, but has several notable differences and omissions that are designed to deceive and inflame.
The British Version:
The U.S. Version:
Neither are particularly good, or accurate. The British version needs no scare quotes around 'knife-wielding.' The U.S. version emphasizes the shooting and attempts to portray the fact that Ma'Kiah had a knife as hearsay.
But here's the kicker: The U.S. version includes 21 images related to the story, including five screenshots from the cop's bodycam. None of the images included is the one at the top of this post clearly showing the knife. The British version includes 26 images, and does include one where the knife is clearly seen.
This is irresponsible journalism, but unsurprising. The reporter of the U.S. piece, Mollie Mansfield, graduated from an "accredited" journalism program at De Montfort University in England in 2017. She turns out an impressive amount of copy, but her work appears to be little more than re-writing viral stories for clicks.
Our Horrible Media: Huffington Post
This morning, The Huffington Post put out a short summary video on their Twitter feed.
Police in Columbus, Ohio, shot and killed a Black girl around the same time the guilty verdict was read in the Derek Chauvin trial. pic.twitter.com/w1PHfsKrrG
— HuffPost (@HuffPost) April 21, 2021
The video is sufficiently deceptive to be credibly put in the "lie" category. Watch it yourself, but I want to focus on this text:
As if from the sky. Maybe the knife that fell "next to the teen" was carried by two African swallows carrying it on a string.
This video came out this morning. More than 12 hours after the Columbus PD released video footage and screenshots showing the mysterious knife in Ma'Khia's hand—an inconvenient fact for the preferred narrative. In fact, the short video never states that Ma'Khia had the knife in her hand. The video never mentions that Ma'Khia had knocked one girl down and was inches from stabbing another girl when the police officer fired.
Huffington Post makes it seem like the cops showed up and shot her for no reason at all. The staffers given credit on the video, Producer Leah Mark and Editor Dana Cataldo, shouldn't be working in journalism. The dishonesty embedded in this video is what you'd expect in Chinese Communist Party propaganda, not people who style themselves "journalists" in America.
And don't think that just because I started with The U.S. Sun and The Huffington Post that I'm just picking the low-hanging fruit here.
Our Horrible Media: National Public Radio
Last night, several hours after the Columbus PD press conference, National Public Radio posted this Tweet promoting their story on the incident.
Ma'Khia Bryant, a Black teenage girl, was shot and killed by a white police officer in Columbus, Ohio, after she called 911 for help when a group of "older kids" threatened her, according to her family.https://t.co/W1PJ06rt8L
— NPR (@NPR) April 21, 2021
This went out hours after we knew that she was wielding a knife and the interim police chief had appeared to call into question the claim that Ma'Khia was the 911 caller.
The NPR story, like the Tweet, leads with the claim that Ma'Khia was the one who called 911. It should be clear that this is not confirmed. The only reason to lead with this line is to further the false narrative that if you're black and you call the cops, you take your life in your own hands.
When we finally get to talking about the bodycam video, we get an interesting characterization by the NPR reporters.
At a Tuesday night press conference, the Columbus Police Department released an edited version of the body camera video worn by the officer who shot Bryant. Police have not made public the name of that officer.
Edited? What nefarious editing has the Columbus PD done? Did they cut out the part with the sparrows dropping the knife from the sky as the Huffington Post suggested?
No. They blurred the faces of bystanders, including victims of the attack. That was the editing. They didn't cut anything out. They didn't splice anything in. They obscured the faces of bystanders and victims.
The obfuscation continues.
Body camera footage shows an officer getting out of his patrol car as he responds to a commotion on the driveway of a home.
As he approaches a group of people standing and shouting on the driveway, he asks, "What's going on?" Seconds later Bryant and another girl begin fighting in front of the officer.
Bryant can be seen pushing the girl to the ground. She then approaches a second girl and throws her against a car parked on the driveway. The officer shouts "Get down!" three times, pulls out his gun and shoots in Bryant's direction at least four times and she falls to the ground.
As the officer approaches her, a knife can be seen close to her.
The herculean efforts by NPR to never acknowledge what everyone saw—a knife in Ma'Khia's hand—is mind-blowing.
And then there's this note at the bottom of the NPR story.
This is a developing story. Some facts reported by the media may later turn out to be wrong. We will focus on reports from police officials and other authorities, credible news outlets and reporters who are at the scene, and we will update as the situation develops.
Of the "police officials and other authorities, credible news outlets and reporters who are at the scene" that NPR said they will rely on, which category does Ma'Khia's aunt fall under? The first three paragraphs of their story are all based on statements by Hazel Bryant who obviously has a vested interest in painting her niece in the best possible light.
Our Horrible Media: The Washington Post
More than 24 hours after an officer saved the life of an young black girl by shooting Ma'Khia Bryant, this is the lead photo package on The Washington Post homepage.
A video clip played in a news conference Tuesday showed the victim lunging toward two people before an officer fired four shots.
I feel like someone needs to do a deepfake of late comic Sam Kinison yelling: "WITH A KNIFE. A knife. Say it!"
The story itself isn't any better. Lead paragraph:
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Community members and local activists in Columbus, Ohio, challenged official accounts of the fatal police shooting of a Black teenager Tuesday afternoon, questioning why an officer used lethal force against a young girl.
A young girl? She was 16 years old! What comes into your mind when you hear "young girl." A 16-year-old who can legally drive a car?
I point this out because the Post story immediately below the main one is this one by Julianne McShane which makes a big production out of the contention that she should be considered a child and that this is evidence of something called "adultification bias."
[A] form of discrimination that uniquely plagues Black girls, leading them to be perceived by adults as less innocent and more adult-like than their White peers, according to a widely covered 2017 Georgetown study.
You'll forgive me if I'm skeptical of the Georgetown study. Call her a teenager if you like. Just don't do what McShane does in recounting the incident that led to Ma'Khia's death.
Body camera footage shown at a news conference on Tuesday night shows what happened when officers arrived on the scene: Ma'Khia appears to have lunged at another person before a police officer fired four times. A knife is visible next to her on the ground where she fell after being shot.
There's that knife again. Apparently dropped by the arms smuggling African swallows.
Back to the lead story. Three paragraphs in we get:
Police haven't released full body camera footage of the incident — they say they need to blur juveniles' faces before they do so — but a clip played in an news conference Tuesday showed the victim lunging toward two people in a driveway before an officer fired four shots. A knife is briefly visible in the victim's hand and later in the driveway next to her as police perform CPR on her.
The second sentence is unnecessary. Just add "with a knife" after "two people" and before "in a driveway" in the first sentence.
I will applaud the Post for this:
Hazel Bryant, who said she was Ma'Khia Bryant's aunt, told The Washington Post in a brief interview that "the body cam doesn't show the truth of what occurred." She said she didn't personally witness the incident but arrived at the scene soon after. She described her niece as "so loving and kind."
Who are you going to believe? Her aunt who wasn't even there when it occurred, or your own lying eyes?
Further down in the Post story we get this curious additional description of the bodycam footage which appears might be a remnant of an earlier version of the story.
In the body-camera footage played by police Tuesday, an officer can be seen emerging from a vehicle as the victim appears to chase someone, who falls onto the sidewalk. The teen then turns toward someone else wearing a pink sweatsuit and takes a swing at her head. The officer fires four shots at the girl, leaving her sprawled next to a car in the driveway.
"She had a knife. She just ran at her," one officer says on the footage.
No mention of a knife in the description of the video itself this time. Instead we're just given an officer's statement that could be seen as excuse-making.
Our Horrible Media: The New York Times
Of the horrible media reporting that I've recounted here today, The New York Times report is probably the least bad—but that's not good.
This isn't the first writeup of the shooting, but it is the first substantive one after the Columbus PD press conference that provided incontrovertible proof that Ma'Khia was armed, and attempting to stab people. I can live with the main headline. The subhead however, which is echoed in the lede, gives a misleading impression. There is a big difference between threatening someone with a knife, and lunging or slashing at someone with a knife. Ma'Khia did the latter.
Four paragraphs in, we get a more accurate account:
Officials said the video showed the teenager lunging at two other females with a knife as the officer arrived at the driveway of a residence. The officer then fired several times — four shots could be heard in the video — at the girl. She collapsed to the ground next to a car that had been parked in the driveway, where the body camera footage showed a knife on the ground.
Why is the "lunging" with a knife transformed into "threatened" in the deck and lede? There's a big difference between the two—brandishing vs. attempted murder.
Our Horrible Media: CBS News
I was going to wrap this up after the Times analysis. Then, more than 24 hours after the shooting, CBS News puts out this:
The same day that Derek Chauvin was found guilty for the death of George Floyd, 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant was fatally shot by police in Columbus, Ohio. On Wednesday, hundreds of people gathered in the city to call for justice for Bryant. https://t.co/HoavjQpJQZ pic.twitter.com/tZbVrB3c5h
— CBS News (@CBSNews) April 22, 2021
Ignorance is no longer an excuse. The mainstream media is pushing a dishonest, inaccurate, and destructive narrative. They want cities to burn. They want riots. They want more people to die, more businesses ruined and more manufactured racial animosity and strife.

Waitlist?
By immaculatemc
I've been on the waitlist for three years. Really? Now I don't even want to use it, and I question who uses it. This app is dead and totally over.
serves its purpose
By LapsedFlowerChild93x
Meeting some great people (friends and otherwise) and getting more matches than any other dating app. People are messaging me so I don't understand all the complaints. I like that it's exclusive and is therefore way less stressful than run-of-the-mill free dating apps. Thanks Raya 🙌
Trash app, don't use
By Playnox
Simply a trash app… Specially they require Instagram, who in the world have it ?!? IG is a useless platform that none of the wealthy people using. Wake up! Looks like another crap from Zuckerberg
Wasted potential
By okk yuhh
The app needs to learn a thing or two from Bumble and Hinge. The slideshow format is so strange and the profiles don't allow a lot of room for personality. It's frustrating that they limit how many profiles are shown to you because I'm literally already paying for the subscription. There's a lot of potential and I think it would work 10x better if it's modeled like other dating apps but still keeping the exclusivity part
Horrible waste of money, scam
By mentobean
Raya is a complete scam. It's difficult to cancel your subscription, the user interface is very badly designed, not at all worth it.
Dispensable, no added value
By AguasCalientes
I'm in the top 5% of income earners in the U.S. with a creative/entertainment industry background, fit, get compliments in person, and people I know try to set me up… but I have zero social media presence, and no friends who use Raya (they're in relationships). Apparently, that won't cut it for Raya, so after being waitlisted for 4 months, I deleted it. I don't have an ego, but I figure if someone as decent as I am gets waitlisted, that's true for other people, so for sure I'm missing out some other decent people if I'm holding out for Raya. I have met great people on other apps, and don't feel like I'm missing anything without Raya in my life. It seems completely dispensable.
Quality people!
By spaforlifemiami
Love this app. A way better quality of people. They adding more options now and it's only getting better.
Bugged App - can't match with anyone that "liked" me.
By jet_plane
I got approved for Raya about two months ago. Initially, it worked as expected, I was getting matches and was able to talk to them. I even went on a date with one. After about one month of using the app. The app suddenly seemed to lock me out of matching with any profiles at all, even if they claimed that they "liked" me. I emailed customer support multiple times and they did not even respond to me. This is quite frustrating as I paid for premium service ($350)!
By AEHFASHION
I have been waiting for a for a response and not to toot my own horn but as a business woman of wealth, a global philanthropist, 4x author, model and mentor I'm confused as to why where I'm from (22 years ago) & my social media matters. If we are looking into backgrounds why not just do a background check or ask for news articles. No I don't carry a blue check on IG but there are TONS of broke IG blue check carriers, ijs. I truly believe that the everyone weighs heavy on the wrong things.
By 763828151
I've been on the "waitlist" for 8 months, despite having 6 A+ referrals, a great income and a glowing bio. What's up?

A few days ago, the BBC reported that there is an intensive campaign by some groups in Jamaica and elsewhere to get the outgoing American president to pardon Jamaica's first National Hero, Marcus Garvey. These campaigners hope to get the pardon before Mr Obama leaves the White House, which is very soon.
However, there are two very good reasons why Garvey should not be pardoned – either because he was guilty of the crime of which he was convicted or not. My position may sound confusing, but both reasons should not only render any pardon worthless, but disrespectful.
First, if Garvey really was guilty of the crimes of which he was convicted in the United States, as claimed by the FBI, then pardoning the man would send a very wrong message to many – not at least, to us here in Jamaica. Imagine having a hero who preached "black pride", whatever that may be, and then trying to advancing his cause through criminal actions, being pardoned. Worse yet, imagine having a convicted and then pardoned felon being praised as some sort of great man – especially one who always urged his followers to stay within the law.
No, pardoning Garvey of a crime that he may have done, if indeed he did do it, would send the wrong signals. In fact, it would be an insult to Jamaicans. So, for this reason alone, no pardon should be given to him.
However, what if he did not do the crime for which he was convicted of in the United States? Surely, some may argue, that the man should be pardoned on that basis. This is what many of his followers are arguing, claiming that he was framed. However, this is exactly the reason why he should not be pardoned.
Those seeking a pardon are displaying true hypocrisy when they are urging the out-going American president to pardon him. A pardon, by definition, is an admission of guilt. So, what these "Garveyites" are really saying, when pushing for the pardon is that, on the one hand they profess that the man was framed and thus not really guilty, but on the other hand, they are willing to accept that he is guilty just so that he can get the pardon!
What they should be pushing for is an exoneration, which would have been a recognition that the man was not guilty in the first place and thus his record should be clean. However, those pushing for the pardon realize that an exoneration is impossible, so they would rather have the American justice system still have the man as a criminal, albeit a pardoned one. These are the same people who preach black pride!
You know, come to think of it, all of the previous American presidents who were being urged to pardon Garvey probably saw through this ruse and, in at least that sense, were perhaps more proud of the black race than many of these Garvey hypocrites who want to have their cake and still eat it!
Of course, one can understand them trying to push that that ruse with Obama, a black man, which itself is another insult. Those pushing for the pardon probably think that Obama, being black, is not as smart as his white predecessors, so he may not understand this ruse and pardon the man! Some proud black people these Garvey pardon pushers are!
Anyway and thankfully, for our sake Mr Trump, if he is ever presented with such a request, will probably laugh at it (in one of his regular tweets) – and rightly so. Let's hope Obama will spare us the insult and don't pardon the man.
How does an established news source allow a racist historical revisionist to publish this misinformation with no facts? It is common knowledge in both the US and Jamaica that old racist American forces including the FBI set up and criminalized Garvey the way they set up and criminalized all fighters for african liberation including Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and many other prominent civil rights leaders. This writer also believes slavery is good for black people and is a well known propagandist and racist. Please clean up your site as I enjoy reading news here as a Montserratian and an African. Thank you.

Robert John "Bob" Manno (* 31. Oktober 1956 in Niagara Falls, Ontario) ist ein ehemaliger italo-kanadischer Eishockeyspieler und -trainer. Seine 388 absolvierten NHL-Spiele sind die meisten eines gedrafteten Italieners in der NHL-Geschichte.

Karriere
Bob Manno begann in seiner Heimat Niagara Falls mit dem Eishockeyspielen. In seiner Jugend spielte er für die Niagara Falls Flyers in der OJHL und für die Hamilton Red Wings und die St. Catharines Black Hawks in der Ontario Hockey Association. Im NHL Amateur Draft 1976 wurde er von den Vancouver Canucks in der zweiten Runde an 26. Stelle gedraftet. Von 1976 bis 1981 war er für die Vancouver Canucks in der National Hockey League aktiv, sowie in der unterklassigen Central Hockey League für die Tulsa Oilers und Dallas Black Hawks. 1981 wechselte er zu den Toronto Maple Leafs, für die in der Spielzeit 1981/82 seine persönlich erfolgreichste NHL-Saison absolvierte, als der Italo-Kanadier in 72 Partien neun Tore und 41 Torvorlagen erzielte und aufgrund seiner guten Leistungen im Verlauf dieser Spielzeit mit der Teilnahme am NHL All-Star Game geehrt worden war. Anschließend ging er nach Italien für den HC Meran aufs Eis.

Nach einer Saison kehrte er in die NHL zurück und heuerte bei den Detroit Red Wings an. Dort spielte er von 1983 bis 1985, sowie zeitgleich in der American Hockey League bei den Adirondack Red Wings. Nach dem einjährigen Gastspiel in Meran in der Spielzeit 1982/83 zog es ihn wieder nach Italien. Er spielte in den Jahren 1985/86 und 1986/87 wieder in Meran. Anschließend spielte er in der italienischen Serie A noch für den HC Fassa von 1987 1989, den HC Milano Saima von 1989 bis 1992 und den HC Bozen von 1992 bis 1994.

Nach dem Ende seiner aktiven Karriere trainierte er in Italien unter anderem seine ehemaligen Vereine Bozen und Mailand. Als Trainer war er 1998 erstmals in Deutschland aktiv. Manno betreute die Frankfurt Lions in der Saison 1998/99, trat allerdings schon am 17. Oktober 1998 aus persönlichen Gründen zurück. Von April 1999 bis 2000 war er Trainer der Augsburger Panther, wurde aber nach einer Heimniederlage gegen den amtierenden Meister München Barons am 21. Oktober 2000 vorzeitig entlassen.

Am 29. November 2007 trat Manno die Nachfolge des zuvor entlassenen Erich Kühnhackl als Trainer der Straubing Tigers an. Gleich zu Beginn seines Engagements konnten die Tigers einen 7:1-Sieg über die DEG Metro Stars feiern. Zunächst unterschrieb er einen Vertrag für die Saison 2007/08, im Februar 2008 verlängerte er diesen um ein Jahr bis zum Ende der Saison 2008/09. Nach der Saison verließ er die Tigers und unterschrieb beim Ligakonkurrenten ERC Ingolstadt. Er trainierte die Ingolstädter Panther in der Saison 2009/10, wurde aber vor Ende der Spielzeit im Februar 2010 aufgrund der unbefriedigenden sportlichen Situation vorzeitig beurlaubt.

International
Für Italien nahm Manno an der A-Weltmeisterschaften 1982, sowie den B-Weltmeisterschaften 1986, 1987 und 1989 bis 1992 teil. Des Weiteren stand er im Aufgebot Italiens bei den Olympischen Winterspielen 1992 in Albertville.

Alabama A&M already has one of the best quarterbacks in FCS football. But Aqeel Glass won't be around forever, so AAMU has been searching for its signal-caller of the future.
It may have found it in Kaden McMullen, a three-star quarterback from Missouri. Or it might have him in CJ Dixon Jr., an ESPN four-star pro passer.
McMullen is a 6'4 pro-style passer from Living Word Christian in O'Fallon, Missouri. He held seven offers, according to 247Sports, including Missouri, Idaho and UNLV.
The O'Fallon, Missouri native passed for 6,898 yards and 73 TD while completing 62 percent of his passes in three years as a varsity player. The quarterback also ran for over 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns in his career and was named both All-District and All-Conference as a senior.
Dixon was an ESPN 4-star recruit, the No. 13 pocket passer and the No. 194 overall prospect in the nation for the 2020 class. The Loganville, GA passer originally committed to Illinois before spending this past season at Jireh Prep School in Indian Trail, NC. He completed 169 of 315 passes for 2,434 yards, 21 touchdowns and 8 interceptions for the Rams as a senior in 2019, leading the team to a 10-3 record.
He held 11 FBS offers, including Arkansas, Baylor and Alabama. Yes, that Alabama.

Georg Bickel (* 9. Dezember 1862 in Geilsheim; † 10. Juli 1924 in Mönchsroth) war Pfarrer der bayerischen Landeskirche und wirkte als Maler. Sein bekanntestes Gemälde, das die Himmelfahrt Jesu Christi zeigt, hing seit 1911 in der Kapelle des Syrischen Waisenhauses in Jerusalem.

Leben und Werk

Johann Georg Bickel stammte aus dem mittelfränkischen Geilsheim. Geboren am 9. Dezember 1862 wuchs er dort als Ältester von fünf Geschwistern in einer Büttnerfamilie mit einer kleinen Landwirtschaft auf. Der Vater hieß Johann Michael Bickel (1831–1913) und war im nahe gelegenen Obermögersheim geboren worden. Die Mutter war als Maria Margaretha Fettinger (1834–1904) in der Schwandmühle bei Lentersheim auf die Welt gekommen. Dem Wunsch des Sohnes Maler zu werden kam der Vater nicht nach. Er wusste ihn zum Pfarrer bestimmt und schickte ihn nach Abschluss der Dorfschule von 1872 bis 1874 auf die Lateinschule nach Oettingen. Im Anschluss daran besuchte er das humanistische Gymnasium Carolinum in Ansbach. Im Wintersemester 1882/83 begann er sein Studium der Evangelischen Theologie an der Universität Erlangen. 1886 wurde er in Ansbach ordiniert. Nach Zwischenstationen in Meinheim und Ehingen am Ries wurde ihm am 1. Advent des Jahres 1889 die Pfarrstelle in Mönchsroth verliehen. 1890 heiratete er die Pfarrerstochter Sophie Glaser aus dem Nachbarort Greiselbach.
Mönchsroth lag wie sein Geburtsort innerhalb des Gebiets des Bezirksamts Dinkelsbühl und wurde von ihm als Teil seiner Heimat betrachtet, die er nicht verlassen wollte. Als er 1911 von einer weiter entfernten Kirchengemeinde angefragt wurde, antwortete er: "Zunächst ist es meine Liebe zur Heimat, die mich festhält. Ich bin zwar schon ein ziemliches Stück herumgekommen, aber ich bin in meinem amtlichen Wirken nie weiter als viereinhalb Stunden über meinen Geburtsort hinausgekommen. Das hat mir eine gewisse Bodenständigkeit gegeben, die meinem Wirken zu Gute gekommen ist. Aber das hat mir auch eine gewisse Einseitigkeit aufgeprägt, die für andere Verhältnisse nicht gut paßt und es mir schwer macht, in fremde Eigenart mich zu fügen."
In seiner Mönchsrother Zeit malte er zahlreiche Bilder, meistens Landschaftsgemälde sowie Kopien großer religiöser Werke wie die von Albrecht Dürer, von Rembrandt oder von Hans Holbein dem Jüngeren.

Bickels bekanntestes Gemälde zeigt die Himmelfahrt Jesu Christi. Er fertigte es für die Kapelle des Syrischen Waisenhauses in Jerusalem an, nachdem diese ausgebrannt war. Am 2. Juli 1911 kam Ludwig Schneller persönlich nach Mönchsroth, um das Altarbild abzuholen. Als das Jerusalemer Gelände des Syrischen Waisenhauses im Zuge des jüdisch-arabischen Krieges von 1948/49 von israelischen Truppen besetzt wurde, verbrachte man Bickels Gemälde in die Theodor-Schneller-Schule nach Amman, wo es bis heute hängt.

Bickel verstarb als 61-jähriger amtierender Mönchsrother Pfarrer am 10. Juli 1924. Etliche seiner Gemälde sind heute in der Klosterkirche in Mönchsroth ausgestellt.

I can say from experience...the two universities were "joined at the hip" under the Boren/Hargis administrations. The idea was that our goals were United. We wanted to advance the state as a team.
You can see from my past posts how I think ou crawfished on this deal.
if you have not complained to your legislator, congressman and the governors office about this, I encourage you to do so. Your objection will do nothing to change the position of ou on realignment...but it will help our university now when we fight with ou over appropriations, bond issues and the like...and we will. They told us to go pound sand on a huge part of our funding and p.r. Budget. We should respond in kind.
I live in Texas so cannot participate, but I'm generally curious how many OSU grads are in the legislature compared to OU grads. Anyone know?

Would be interesting to know but don't know what it would tell as I am sure many go to the dark side (ou) for business expediancy ala Trabor, Mayes et al.

Only about 20 teams in the nation are marketable in the semi-pro type conferences being pushed. The other 100 and some NCAA members need to send them down the road and let them do their big money thing by themselves.
The NCAA has power through its championships in all sports. Make the SEC have their own. The big boys have the money, but the little guys have the numbers. Kick them out.
The NCAA has no championship in bowl level football. That might be the ticket, get NCAA to sanction everybody else and run the football viewing contract away from ESPN

Just listened to a couple of Big pod cast and their opinion is the Big will go after USC, UCLA, Oregon, Colorado, Washington, Stanford. They think that talks with Pac 12 AAU schools are on going and many are serious about leaving. If this happens we are pretty much out of options.

Is that really true? Have they "paraded around for years" saying all those things? I truly don't know--I'm asking. Because there is definitely no love lost between the fan bases. I've never seen two sides who hated each other more than OU/OSU. Administrations are always going to put a positive spin on relationships, but to me, no one should be that surprised that this happened--even if it wasn't handled well.
i am an old guy and have never heard anything that remotely resembled any talk of a "partnership" about anything, athletic or otherwise.

HokeyPokey said:
There are a number of academic partnerships. Funding for higher education and improving the state's educational reputation are shared interests. Plus, they academically complement each other and do better when they support collaboration.
65POKE said:
None of those schools have an LHN where ESPN will be incentivized to pay their exit fees, especially when paying them to go to another conference where Fox owns rights to several of the marquee matchups and the conference's network. The PAC 12 TV deals run through 2024 as well. It could happen, but it will take a few years. I also don't know how much Stanford adds the the B1G in terms of viewership and Colorado adds next to nothing.

Look.
And if you're Vandy you're gold through 2033. You're not going anywhere wo a Brinks truck.
not too sure that far down the road.....
If they'd introduce a relegation and promotion system aka the English Soccer Leagues (and secluded other sports from conference alignments), as in relegating the bottom 2 or 3 teams downward and promoting top teams on yearly basis, Vandy will be in the proper place in no time.
this would kill interest in the sport for most who follow football because they're alumni. This is going to be an attempt at the nfl for the states without a good pro draw (Alabama, Ohio, Louisiana, Mississippi, etc.). Maybe I'm in the minority but watching my school play some relegated football league won't cut it. And I have no interest in watching a school I didn't attend. There are plenty of other things I can do on a Saturday.
malpoke said:
I'd could get behind this if they opened it up to the rest of the field. I follow soccer rather closely, and the people who win consistently are the ones who spend the most money. But the ones who never get relegated are the ones who consistently have balanced budgets and profitable franchises. I've always though college football was more akin to euro soccer than any other sport. The champions league tournament is a thing of beauty.
NCAA doesn't sponsor the football championship. All other sports, yes.
Calf fries are the original sack lunch.
Big Daddy said:
85% of the NCAA issues would disappear if football broke out on its own, scholarships, funding, conferences would all naturally balance if football was taken out of the equation
I just hope that Oklahoma State lands in a good conference and that we are, as Alumni, still very interested despite all these changes. I'm afraid it's lost any innocence it had left and may end up being as watered down as NCAA Baseball and to a lessor extent, Basketball. It's always been a thing of pride for those of us who follow only OSU, even if, for no other reason except that it's where we went to school. All this extra "garbage" just feels like home wreaking. I do feel like OU isn't keeping their school in mind, but only their football program...not a surprise, however, because this has been a problem for that school for a long long time.
HacklemanPoke
Won't happen. As it's always been and especially this go round, it's about protecting and securing the benefits of the helmet sticker.
I understand the sentiment and desire for relegation and promotion but college football is American capitalism at its core and uo might be getting ready to see that 1st hand where they are finally competing for resources (players) w other teams that are more incentivized and capable of securing those resources. It's the same reason why the OKC Thunder will have to win a championship via the draft and not through free agency. College football is 100% free agency. High school players are free to go to the highest bidder. And now w open transfer they can do it again. And before I get jumped on saying schools don't pay players lets look no further than Coach O's recent comments to a civic group where he openly encouraged businesses owners to open up their wallets in the form of NIL. He knows what's at stake.
Just like the Olympics, used to big a really big deal. National pride of our amateur vs yours.
once they took away the pro restrictions, I haven't watched. Haven't shouted "USA, USA" in years
College ball will be the same

I actually think this is the only chance to save amateur football. By dividing off the farm league. Just curious why @osucowboy79 didn't like that. Was hoping to read a response.
Funny timing. I actually just capped the $1000 fee to become a lifetime alum member. Got my box of goodies. Shocking how fast $35 a year goes.
What i listened to was a YouTube from Ohio State interest not a podcast. He had a person in the know on the phone. He said that the Big expansion committee met about 6 months for the first time in a long time. He said that coincides with ou and ut meeting with SEC.

Interesting if true. That would mean dominoes will likely continue falling until only the SEC and B1G remain as the Power 2. B1G is now probably just waiting for dust to settle on uo/tex. ACC could be next domino when B1G takes 2, which would make the rest of the ACC susceptible to the SEC.
It will be really telling if B1G goes after PAC12 in any way.

Profile Doors, experts in sliding, folding doors, recently manufactured a 21 metre wide, bi-parting door for a new aircraft hangar belonging to leading race horse trainer, Mark Johnston.
Profile offer bespoke solutions for large openings on commercial and industrial applications, incorporating ease of operation, durability and security. With Class 5 wind resistance, the Ram-Fold door is perfect for aircraft hangars too.
The specialist folding door division of Alliance Door Engineering Ltd, was originally recommended to Mark Johnston by a fellow aviator, who'd had the Ram-Fold sliding, folding shutter installed on his own hangar and Mark, also suitability impressed, has now utilized the Ram-Fold door twice, with a similar sized folding door fitted previously on an older hangar.
The specific nature of the site requires the doors to be bi-parting, driven by motors on both sides which can be independently operated via remote control transmitters. Optimal safety around the door threshold is ensured by utilising multiple high precision, laser beam technology BEA safety sensors. The shutter leaves bunch clear of the opening, providing maximum clear opening dimensions.
The work has now ensured Mark has a hanger door capable of providing the required space and security to accommodate multiple aircraft.
Profile Doors, acquired by Alliance Door Engineering Ltd in 2007, have been supplying their in-house made range of folding, shutter doors to the trade for over 30 years, specialising in the larger applications which require cost effective and high security solutions.

Finding a solution to the problematic challenge of acoustically sealing sliding doors has now been solved with a range of acoustic seals.
The door seal specialist Norseal has created a range of solutions including the feature-packed Complete Sealing System which provides all round smoke and draft protection as well as acoustic insulation for the majority of sliding doors.
The acoustic performance of doors is increasingly in the spotlight for specifiers. Regulations to control noise in the workplace state that employers should consider the design and layout of offices, work stations and rest facilities to reduce noise.
But more than just meeting minimum regulatory performance levels, studies have shown that well-designed sound environments in offices or schools help to improve concentration and enable better communication.
In office environments, privacy is also a key issue driving the acoustic insulation of work spaces. A simple way to reduce the impact of noise within buildings is to install acoustic door seals, which can reduce noise transfer between spaces in a building.
Norseal's Complete Sealing System for sliding doors by Athmer is the solution for automatically sealing the majority of sliding doors with any kind of hardware configuration and regardless of door and frame construction.
It effectively provides smoke and draft protection as well as giving the best possible acoustic performance for your door. Norseal's Complete Sealing System provides automatic sealing top and bottom, and uninterrupted vertical sealing for most latched or unlatched sliding door applications including pocket doors whether glass or timber. It is an easy access option offering zero-threshold, barrier- free access and minimal opening and closing forces.
Norseal's sliding door acoustic seal range also includes the Schall-Ex® Slide door seal by Athmer. This self-levelling, unobtrusive sliding door drop seal offers sound reduction performance of up to 55dBRw.
Its internal mechanism drops the seal when the sliding door closes to prevent the transfer of unwanted sound, draughts, heat and light and is perfect for sliding door applications in residential properties, office spaces, schools and hospitals on single or double sliding doors. Specifically designed and manufactured by Athmer in Germany, the Schall-Ex® Slide M-12 WS has been engineered to endure in excess of 1 million cycles.
Norseal's Stadi L-20/20WS Automatic Drop Seal by Athmer is a self-levelling, self- extinguishing, automatic drop seal for acoustically sealing sliding doors. A self-extinguishing single actuation seal, the Norseal Stadi also offers fire protection, smoke protection, and can be fitted on accessible doors.
Part of the European Athmer Group, Norseal is the leading provider of specialist door seal solutions, plus a wide range of ancillary door products. The company has a long track record of innovation, developing products which meet and exceed the latest industry standards for fire and smoke protection, acoustic properties, accessibility and thermal insulation.
Products are backed by a qualified and experienced technical team offering advice and guidance on all aspects of intumescent and acoustic seals. As well as its core range of seals, Norseal supply a wide range of supplementary door products including fire-rated glazing, electrical and plumbing solutions, fire rated ventilation, letter plates, door viewers, threshold plates, weather seals, and finger protection products.

With the Prime Minister having submitted the paperwork to enact Article 50 last week, the question on all our clients' lips is: what does the next two years – and beyond – hold for the industry?
While no-one has the crystal ball that will give the answer to that question, there are some things that we can be confident in:
#1 The media will continue to exaggerate everything
Heard the one about the major financial institution sending thousands of jobs to Frankfurt? In January, we heard that Goldman Sachs was considering relocating up to half of its workforce out of London. Fast forward to last week, and the figure is more like hundreds – and it became clear that the firm is also planning to bulk up its European presence with local hires – not just with London transfers. Growth in Europe doesn't necessarily equate to a reduction in London.
This is just one example, but as ever, it's wise to take the reportage with a grain of salt and read beyond the headlines.
#2 Business was evolving before the vote and will continue to do so after we leave
Another thing that's been glossed over in reporting about businesses decamping from the UK is that many of these plans were in the offing well before the idea of Brexit reached the national stage.
As organisations grow in size and complexity, the way they hire is rapidly evolving – cloud computing and the increasing digitalisation of the industry means that decentralising from London has become a far more viable and efficient option in the last few years. Globally, businesses are looking to create efficiencies by outsourcing and offshoring. The nature of the roles is changing, but there is always demand for top finance talent in the City.
#3 It's unlikely that the UK will go down the deregulation route
With the credit crunch still a recent memory, it's highly unlikely that there will be a move towards deregulation following Brexit, as some have suggested – in fact, we might see even more regulations arise from the move.
Far from turning the UK into another island tax haven, parliament is already proposing a bill that would transfer thousands of EU regulations into UK law, with likely many more to follow. This means we're likely to continue seeing a high demand for talented compliance professionals.
#4 A lot can happen in two years
Since Danos Associates opened its doors in 2004, we have seen seismic changes in the finance industry, from the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the subsequent domino effect across Wall St and the City, to the heightened scrutiny of the Financial Services Act that followed.
It's safe to say that no-one wants more changes of this kind – and in an industry as valuable as financial services, it's likely that it will be kept protected from major upset.
#5 Uncertainty = opportunity
When we speak to our clients, one thing is clear – and that's that nothing is clear. No-one is sure what's going to happen next; some clients are cautious and risk averse, while others are more optimistic about the possibilities and opportunities. But it's often out of these challenging circumstances that businesses thrive, and that the talent and ingenuity of their people shine.
We are confident that demand for the best financial services talent to navigate this period of change will be highly competitive.
The bottom line as the clock begins to tick towards April 2019 is that optimistic pragmatism is the order of the day. Whatever happens beyond the UK's exit from the Union will bring exciting challenges to the financial services industry.
Danos Associates is a boutique financial services recruitment firm, working with blue chip financial institutions to meet their compliance, risk, and legal recruitment needs. To start a conversation about your talent requirements, contact us on info@danosassociates.com or +(0) 20 3542 1605

Could the Terrorist Group That Executed 1,700 People Force the U.S. Back Into Iraq?
ByJenna Kagel
The news: This all feels like the darkest days of the Iraq War.
On Saturday, members from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Syria (ISIS) Sunni insurgent group posted these pictures to their Twitter account claiming to show the mass execution of 1,700 Iraqi soldiers.
Image Credits: Twitter
ISIS, an Islamist terror group so extreme that al-Qaida disowned them, has taken control of most of the northern territories in Iraq as part of a strategic operation planned since 2006. According to Iraqi officials, the group's dominance continued into this week. They seized the city of Tal Afar on Monday, which came after insurgents had already gained power in Mosul, the country's second largest city after Baghdad, and Fallujah.
Brutal images: Some of the captions on the images blatantly mock Shiites and threaten the U.S.
Shiite leader Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani issued a statement urging all groups to "exert the highest possible level of self-restraint during this tumultuous period." (This came a day after he called upon every Iraqi to take up arms in support of the Iraqi government.)
ISIS has reportedly captured U.S.-supplied army equipment. They posted a Twitter picture of an American humvee being tested by an ISIS commander, and blackhawk helicopters have been allegedly seized from the airport in Mosul.
Concern in the region is growing, and the geopolitics of the situation have only made things more complicated. The Syrian government has aided the Iraqi government who is attempting to fight ISIS. Even Iran and the U.S., who have an acrimonious relationship, have come together on the same side.
U.S. assistance: While President Obama is adamant that he will not deploy U.S. combat troops to Iraq, the president informed Congress on Monday he would send up to 275 military personnel to provide support and security for U.S. assets and the country's embassy in Baghdad. The U.S. has sent also a warship into the Gulf, and the Wall Street Journal reports the U.S is flying authorized secret drones over Iraq.
Resolving the sectarian rift is pivotal to the end-strategy: While the U.S. may send some level of military assistance to Iraq, the real issue at stake is the fractured relationship between Shiite and Sunni factions. On Sunday, President Obama made it clear the prerequisite for American military aid was that Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki (a Shiite) must make an effort to end sectarian issues. Obama believes that a multi-sectarian government would help assuage both sides of the political spectrum and potentially serve as a release for the violence that's rocked the country since the withdrawal of U.S troops in 2011.
As the New York Times reports, "Deep sectarian divisions have persisted since Saddam Hussein was ousted in 2003. As recently as 2010, for example, Mr. Obama personally pursued an initiative asking Mr. Maliki to share power with the leader of a bloc representing many Sunnis; the plan failed."
ISIS's desire for a caliphate is fueling the conflict in Iraq and the country is teetering on the edge of a full-blown civil war. It is hard to tell if mending a fractious relationship would even quell some of ISIS's advances at this point. So while the Obama administration may be pushing that as their contingency plan, there is a lot of evidence that U.S. involvement will not stop there, which is a hard pill to swallow for a country that only just left the War in Iraq behind.

Nick Cannon Shares a Throwback Pic of Ex Kim Kardashian, Fans Go Nuts With Plastic Surgery Accusations

"Kim what happened?! That nose, that chin, that eyebrow lift — so many surgeries," one follower commented.
"This was Kim before all the doctor visits," another fan said.

If that photo wasn't enough to cause some social media drama, Nick proceeded to share a throwback snap of him and Kanye. Plot twist: The photos were taken on the same night!
"Same night!!! Could it have…NAH!!! LOL," he captioned.

Followers weren't too pleased with Nick's photos, and claimed he was being disrespectful towards his ex and her now-husband.
"Grow up! Stop living in the past. You were with Kim, so what?" one follower said, while another chimed in, "Why are you so obsessed with Kim? She's a married woman!"
Nick and Kim briefly dated from September 2006 to January 2007, but he split with the reality star after she lied about her sex tape being released. There's no bad blood between the two, as Nick claimed the 36-year-old is "one of the nicest people you'll ever meet."

As we know, Nick eventually moved on to marry singer Mariah Carey, with whom he shares children Monroe and Moroccan, 5. The couple split in December 2014, and their divorce was reportedly finalized in November of last year.
Kim went on to marry the TLOP rapper, and the pair share children North, 3, and Saint, 1.

FSU QB Jameis Winston Won't Be Charged With Sexual Assault
By The Sports Xchange
Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston will not be charged with sexual assault of a fellow student.
State Attorney Willie Meggs, whose office took over the investigation last month from Tallahassee police, made the formal announcement from his office in Tallahassee Thursday.
"We have a duty as prosecutors to only file those charges if we have a reasonable likelihood of a conviction," Meggs said. "After reviewing all of the evidence of the case, we did not feel like we could meet that burden.
"I will let you all determine that when you review the facts. We didn't feel we had sufficient evidence to go forward, to bring the case to trial to prove [the sex] was not consensual."
The decision ended more than three weeks of scrutiny of the case involving the leader of undefeated Florida State, the No. 1-ranked team in college football. Florida State plays for the Atlantic Coast Conference championship Saturday in Charlotte. Winston, a first-year starter, is considered the front-runner for the Heisman Trophy.
Meggs said "memory lapses" of the event were problematic. Winston "would not speak to us," he added.
"There were several people in the room when this event occurred," Meggs said. "They've all been questioned and that's detailed in the report."
Regarding the Tallahassee Police Department's handling of the case, Meggs said, "Obviously, it would've been somewhat better if we had all gotten involved a little earlier."
Meggs said his office waited for key results to conclude the investigation.
"In the laboratory work that we did, and you'll see that in the reports, there were DNA from males — one was identified as being Winston's DNA and the other one was unknown," he said. "Obviously if we were going to proceed to trial, having unknown DNA in a sexual assault kit would be a problem."
Meggs said the second "DNA donor" was indicative of another sexual encounter. The investigation leads Meggs to determine that the alleged victim and the second male had a prior relationship. That incident was not investigated as battery. Meggs referred to the second male as "her boyfriend," adding that the woman would not disclose the man's name.
"Being shrewd investigators, we found out, and we got his DNA," Meggs said.
The alleged victim's blood-alcohol level at time of test was 0.04 "which is not very high," Meggs said. Meggs said the timing of the test was also extrapolated to compensate for time passed between the "sexual event" and the BAC test and found the level to be estimated at 1.0.
Patricia Carroll, the attorney representing the accuser, made a statement Thursday on behalf of the family:
"The victim and her family appreciate the state attorney's efforts in attempting to conduct a proper investigation after an inordinate delay by the Tallahassee Police Department. The victim in this case had the courage to immediately report her rape to the police and she relied upon them to seek justice. The victim has grave concerns that her experience, as it unfolded in the public eye and through social media, will discourage other victims of rape from coming forward and reporting."
Meggs' ruling comes nearly a year after the woman first reported to police on Dec. 7, 2012, that she was raped at an off-campus apartment.
A search warrant affadavit issued for the cellphone records of the woman accusing Winston revealed details about her allegations that she was raped in an apartment after a night of drinking with friends.
Multiple outlets reported Thursday that details in the affidavit said the victim contacted police within an hour of the alleged rape. At the time, the woman said she did not know her alleged attacker. She later identified Winston.
Winston has denied the allegations since they emerged publicly Nov. 13.
Evidence gathered by investigators the day of the incident matched Winston's DNA collected by police last month. Winston's attorney, Tim Jansen of Tallahassee, has insisted that sex between his client and the accuser was consensual, a contention the woman's family has vehemently denied.
If Winston had been charged with a felony, under FSU's code of conduct he would have been immediately suspended from the team until the case was resolved.
Jansen held a news conference with the media on Thursday afternoon.
"We believed from day one in December [2012] that this was a consensual act between Mr. Winston and a young woman," Jansen said. "We believed it in December, we believed it in February and we believe it today."
Many Heisman Trophy voters were waiting to see whether Winston would be charged with a crime before casting their ballots. The deadline for Heisman ballots to be turned in is Monday.


Most young children are reluctant to try new foods, so don't be offended if your toddler wrinkles his nose and spits out your carefully prepared offering. His initial rejection is a final judgement on the dish.
Research shows that offering a new food several times, a day or two apart, will probably lead to success. An old paediatrics adage says that the seventh time is the charm when it comes to getting a new food on the 'yes' list.
The first time you give your toddler a new food, offer him a spoonful or two, or let him try a small amount on his own. Then give up if you get a negative response. Bide your time and put the dish on the menu again a day or two later. Force-feeding your child will result in him resisting that food and many others too. 'Try' is okay for now.
All the effort is worth it. Research shows that willingness to try new foods and a varied diet lead to healthier lifelong eating habits.
Children are more willing to try new foods if they see trusted adults and familiar older children eating them too. So if you turn up your own nose at spinach, don't expect to sell it to your toddler. Good eating habits are a family affair, so stock up on the veggies, fruits and whole grains.

The Ottawa REDBLACKS announced a partnership with Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind for the 2019 season, as the team aims to raise awareness about the opportunities the organization provides members of its community.
Six guide dog puppies — four black Labrador Retrievers and two yellow Labrador Retrievers — born in early March will become part of the team and nicknamed the "REDBLACKS litter".
Members of #RNation will be raising the puppies for the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind while they undergo basic obedience training, learn important social skills, and prepare for their next step to become formal guide dogs.
The puppies will interact with REDBLACKS players and staff for heart-warming content all season long, starting with a naming contest.
Each Ottawa home game will also have a puppy in attendance.
Thank you! We're so excited to be working with all of #RNation.

Balduin II, född 1217 i Konstantinopel, död 1273, regerade som katolsk kejsare av Konstantinopel från 1228 tills staden återerövrades av grekerna 1261.

Balduin II var systerson till Balduin I. Han stod 1231-1237 under förmynderskap av titulärkungen av Jerusalem, Johan av Brienne som var en av anförarna för det femte korståget. Under den tiden blev en stor del av riket intaget av Johannes III, den bysantinske kejsaren av Nicæa, som understöddes av bulgarerna. Två gånger belägrades Konstantinopel, men lyckades stå emot tack vare Venedigs sjöseger över den grekiska flottan 1234. Det latinska riket var dock utblottat på folk och pengar, och Balduins ansträngningar att upprätthålla sitt rike var fruktlösa.

Mikael VIII Palaiologos, som tagit makten i Nicæa, erövrade slutligen Konstantinopel 25 juli 1261 med Genuas hjälp, varvid det bysantinska riket återuppstod. Balduin flydde då till Italien och var 1270 i färd med att anföra ett nytt korståg mot Konstantinopel, då Ludvig den heliges död berövade honom alla förhoppningar, varefter han vistades i Italien till sin död.

NextGen Championships
Han maintains lead, McDowell jumps into first at Future Links, driven by Acura Pacific Championship
(Chilliwack Golf Club)
Golf Canada
Chandler McDowell shot a 67 to vault him into first place in the Boys Division at the Future Links, driven by Acura Pacific Championship, while Euna Han shot a 2-under 70 to maintain her lead in the Girls Division heading into the final round at Chilliwack Golf Club in Chilliwack, B.C.
McDowell was dialed in on Saturday as he recorded back-to-back birdies to start his round and then dropped three straight birdies on holes 13, 14 and 15. The only flaw in his second round was a bogey on hole 16, which was a much needed improvement from his opening round in which he recorded four.
"Today I kind of felt a little bit more comfortable out there," he said, after his round. "I felt like I had a good rhythm out there the whole time. Yesterday I was a little choppy, but today I had one bogey and felt a little different."
Tristan Mandur shot the low-score of the tournament with a 64, 10 shots better than his opening round. He recorded four birdies on both the front and back nine and jumped up the leaderboard to second, two shots behind McDowell.
"Getting to the fifth hole, I was 2-under through four," Mandur said. "I knew I had some easy holes coming up so I thought to just play solid and hope I could pull it together."
Round one leader 13-year-old Jeevan Sihota shot an even-par 72 and dropped to T3 with Chilliwack native Mitchell Thiessen.
A.J. Ewart and Max Sekulic, two memebers of Team Canada's Development Squad, struggled with their second round and each posted a 2-over 74. They sit at T14 and T11, respectively.
For the second consecutive day, Han is sitting atop the leaderboard in the Girls Division. Her 2-under second round helped maintain her two-stroke lead heading into the final day.
After a rough start where she only scored one birdie on the front nine and recorded bogeys on holes one, six and 11, Han turned her game around and got three straight birdies after the turn and added a fourth on her final hole.
"It was a big comeback," she said. "I was 2-over through 11 and then birdied four of my last six holes. It was a big fight back."
Defending champion and Team Canada Development Squad member Mary Parsons had a bit of a setback in her second round and dropped to solo fourth after her 1-over 73. She was 2-under through 10 holes, but a string of three bogeys in six holes saw her dip down the leaderboard.
Her fellow team Canada members, Hannah Lee and Monet Chun sit one spot back tied in fifth. Chun shot 1-under on Saturday while Lee was 1-over. They both sit at +2 for the tournament.
Susan Xiao, from Surrey, B.C., sits in second place after her second-round 70 put her at -4 for the tournament.
The top six finishers in the boy's division will earn exemptions into the 2017 Canadian Junior Boys Championship on July 31-Aug. 3 at Cataraqui Golf and Country Club in Kingston, Ont. A tie for the sixth position will be decided by a playoff following the conclusion of play on Sunday. The top six in the girl's division (including ties) will earn exemptions into the 2017 Canadian Junior Girls Championship on Aug. 1-4 at Camelot Golf & Country Club in Cumberland, Ont.

Of all the stories of Jesus in the gospels, very few of them take place in the temple or synagogue. Most of them are played out in the workplace and community. Just think of your favorite stories of Jesus. Where did they take place? A fishing boat? A wedding? A well? Someone's home? A garden over some fish sticks and bread?
Jesus very rarely appears in a temple or synagogue, and spends most of his time in the workplace and community. Somewhere along the line, we began assuming Jesus only works in the church. We began to assume this sort of partitioning with the Spirit, our faith, our story.
Our work, our school, our day to day life does not take us away from Jesus. In fact, it is those parts of our life that continue his involvement.
We have to learn to identify Jesus and his Spirit in our workplace, our homes, our schools, and our community. Once we begin to do that, we start to see our role as a true Church and congregation outside of Sunday.

UK miner Argo reports 280% increase in revenue despite May's Bitcoin halving
London Stock Exchange-listed miner Argo Blockchain is mining 545% more Bitcoin than last year, with profits up 280%.
Publicly-listed mining firm Argo Blockchain has published bullish interim half year results for 2020, despite the recent Bitcoin (BTC) halving and a host of "challenging conditions."
Argo Blockchain PLC is headquartered in London, with its shares listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange. For the six months through to June 30, the company's revenues hit £11.2 million ($14.48 million) — a 280% increase from H1 2019 (£2.93 million, or $3.79 million).
According to the company, the surge in revenue reflects a "major ramp-up in production." The total number of Bitcoin mined during the first six months of 2020 reached 1,669 BTC — up 545% from H1 2019 (306 BTC).
Argo's CEO Peter Wall told Cointelegraph that over the past year, the company has strategically "focused on investing in new mining gear, and running that gear as efficiently as possible."
Argo's interim management report reveals the extent of the company's "major infrastructure build-out," which involved the installation and production set-up of roughly 11,000 new machines to mine Bitcoin in the first three months of the year.
This expansion ostensibly helped to ensure solid results despite the "considerable uncertainty" and "highly volatile pricing environment" for cryptocurrencies in the run-up to the Bitcoin halving in May 2020.
As previously reported, "halving" refers to the periodic and pre-coded 50% reduction of mining rewards for each block on the Bitcoin blockchain. This May's halving event was highly anticipated and closely watched by the crypto community for its impact on both the currency's price and on miners.
Summarizing the halving's impact amid a tumultuous six months, Argo's management noted that the halving "results in greater pressure on inefficient miners and can affect difficulty rates."
Wall told Cointelegraph that "we're keeping a close eye on the SHA-256 hashrate and mining difficulty, and expect them both to continue to rise through the second half of this year, as newer machines come online."
"The mining landscape, particularly since the halving in May, is obviously becoming more consolidated," Wall said. He noted:
"In the post-halving world, it's no surprise that smaller and less efficient miners are struggling to compete due to the reduction in rewards and the increasing competitiveness."
Beyond Bitcoin, Argo also purchased and installed a further 750 Antminer Bitmain machines to mine Zcash (ZEC) using the Equihash algorithm. This has brought its total number of machines for Zcash mining, together with older models, to 1,750.
This year's scale-up, together with what Argo alludes to as a series of "proprietary machine optimization tools" designed by its technology team, were both apparently major factors in navigating the difficult trading environment this spring.
For H1 2020, Argo's mining margin was 39%, a figure the company claims was impaired by both the impact of the halving and weak market prices.
Argo's report further notes that in H1 2020, "mining was somewhat further impacted by the well-known quality issues with the Bitmain T17 miners, which were installed during the period" and affected "machine uptime and overall efficiency." Argo is reportedly in discussions with Bitmain and its host to address the fallout from this situation.
Lastly, according to Argo's management, the global pandemic brought "new execution risks" for the company, though this factor has apparently "not affected our operations to date."
