The Province of Naples (; ) was a province in the Campania region of southern Italy.

In 2014/2015, the reform of local authorities (Law 142/1990 and Law 56/2014), replaced the Province of Naples with the Metropolitan City of Naples.

Demographics
The province of Naples is the most densely populated in Italy. At the 2013 census were all located in the province, as were 10 of the top 15. It has an area of 1,171.13 km², and a total population of about 3.05 million.

Largest communities in the Napoli metropolitan area:

Tourism

The area is particularly fruitful for tourism, both national and international. Pompeii, the excavated Roman city which was destroyed by Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD is among the most popular destinations in all of Italy. Three islands in the Gulf of Naples are also prominent destinations; Ischia, Procida, part of the Phlegrean Islands, and Capri. Together they are also known as the Campanian Archipelago. On Capri, there is the famous Blue Grotto; inside the grotto the sea seems to be lit from underwater, it is a magnificent blue colour, hence its name.

The Sorrentine Peninsula (and its main town Sorrento) has long been a popular destination for tourism, it is well known for the drink Limoncello and its luxurious sea cliffs. It is rich with villas, castles, guard towers, churches, and in Vico Equense ancient farmhouses.

Sport
The most popular sport in the province is football. This area was one of the first in Southern Italy to start playing sports, when English sailors brought them in during the early 1900s. The most successful club from the province are by far SSC Napoli, who have won Serie A (the Italian Championship) twice and the UEFA Cup while Diego Maradona was with the club.

At present there are four professional football clubs playing within the Italian leagues from the province; in Serie A there is SSC Napoli, while in Lega Pro the province is represented by SS Ischia Isolaverde, SS Juve Stabia and AC Savoia.

People who didn't check properly and have accidentally booked a flight that leaves from Luton can now enjoy a new luxury service from EasyJet, which, for £475, includes use of the airport's private jet terminal and treatment like a celebrity. Until you get on the plane and it's business as usual and £4 for two Pringles wrapped up in clingfilm.
For the £475 additional fee, passengers get the luxury private flyer check-in and security clearance experience offered by Signature Flight Support in its bespoke building at Luton, and are then taken to their waiting plane in a car instead of walking it like the commoners. And there are free drinks at the Signature terminal to numb the pain of the flight itself and ease the embarrassment of getting out of a car at the steps while the common people stare.

Shahidul Alam: "I Will Remain a Thorn for the Oppressor"
Nilanjana Sen, Anna Pivovarchuk and Shahidul Alam • Feb 25, 2019
Shahidul Alam in April 2012 © Deutsche Welle / Eric Thevenet
In this edition of The Interview, Fair Observer talks to the renowned Bangladeshi photographer and activist Shahidul Alam.
At a time when censorship is growing across the globe, Shahidul Alam — a renowned Bangladeshi photographer and social activist — has pledged his life to represent the downtrodden and insists that he "will remain a thorn for the oppressor." Over the years, Alam's work has concerned itself with the representation of political violence and social change.
Having first obtained a PhD in chemistry from the University of London, Alam returned to Dhaka to focus on photography, setting up the award-winning Drik Picture Library in 1989. His work depicts everyday life in Bangladesh, following the lives of sex workers and women who joined the Naxalite movement to fight against oppression, telling the story of the Rohingya refugees and showing the resilience of marginalized indigenous people and survivors of natural disasters. What becomes immediately obvious from his work is a deep concern for the lives of working people. Alam's powerful depictions of lives of migrant laborers and those engaged in the informal sector explain his belief in recognizing the role they need to play in improving governance in Bangladesh.
In August 2018, Alam was detained following an interview with Al Jazeera in which he criticized the government's use of violence against students protesting road safety in Bangladesh. Held under the controversial Information and Communication Technology Act for more than 100 days, Alam's imprisonment garnered a wave of support from around the world, putting pressure on Sheikh Hasina's government. Now out on bail, Alam continues to face charges that can mean up to 14 years in prison.
In this edition of The Interview, Fair Observer talks to Shahidul Alam about the current political climate in Bangladesh, his work as a photographer in a censored environment as well as his sense of duty toward his homeland.
Anna Pivovarchuk: First of all, from all of us at Fair Observer, we want to express our relief at your release from jail. We are very glad to see you well and free. Your arrest in August 2018 has garnered enormous support from around the world. Were you aware of the numerous campaign efforts fighting for your freedom?
Shahidul Alam: I am not free. The case against me still stands. I am merely out on bail. If sentenced, I potentially face up to 14 years in jail. So the pressure to drop the case needs to continue. On the other hand, if one cannot freely express one's opinion, if dissent is quashed, if it is impossible to question authority, then no one in Bangladesh is free.
There were several stages to my detention. In the first phase, immediately after I was abducted and tortured, I had no idea of how much others knew. I had tried screaming out to people, but didn't know if others knew either where I was, or if I was alive. I managed to see the TV when I was being taken to the police headquarters the following morning, and saw that information of my arrest was on the newsfeed. I didn't know what was happening outside, but was confident my friends and the global community would be supporting me.
While in jail, other inmates told me of the statement by Nobel laureates. In the first jail visit, Rahnuma [Ahmed, Alam's partner] and Saydia [Gulrukh, journalist and director at Drik agency] told me about the letter by Raghu Rai, and later I also learnt of the statement by Arundhati Roy, Noam Chomsky and others. I didn't have detailed information, but knew by then it was a massive campaign.
Pivovarchuk: What was the hardest part of your detention?
Alam: Accepting the fact that I could not play an active part in the resistance. I knew the country was in trouble, and I had a role to play. There was much more work to be done, and I felt I wasn't doing my share. At the jail visits, I tried to tell my friends to concentrate less on me and more on the movement. The second hardest was hearing the stories of my fellow prisoners. Many inmates came to tell me their stories — stories of injustice and pain which tormented me, especially as there was little I could do besides being a sounding board.
Pivovarchuk: Indeed, Bangladesh's social and political milieu has been growing increasingly violent and intolerant of dissent, with brutal and often deadly attacks against free thinkers. You have strong connections to the UK, where you hold residency, yet you chose to live and work in your homeland. What prompted this return to Bangladesh, given the difficult conditions when it comes to freedom of speech and expression?
Alam: I was studying and teaching in the UK. Even as a student, I worked and earned money. I was given residency in the UK by virtue of having been a taxpayer for many years. I never applied for it. I am a Bangladeshi citizen and my allegiance is to my people. I also consider myself to be a global citizen, and global issues do concern me, but Bangladesh has given me far more than I'll ever be able to give back. Yes, there are difficulties, but as a privileged Bangladeshi, the onus is upon me and others like me to do what we can to right these wrongs. I can hardly expect someone else to fix my country.
Nilanjana Sen: Do you see similar trends with regard to censorship of critical voices occurring worldwide? Or does something set the South Asian context apart, and Bangladesh in particular?
Alam: Levels differ widely, but I do not know of a single nation that does not champion freedom and democracy in its rhetoric but actively opposes it in its practice. Bangladesh and South Asia are at the wrong end of this spectrum, Scandinavian countries being at the other end. But as long as the military-industrial complex plays such an important role in the world economy, critical voices will be suppressed. Besides, powerful nations find it much more expedient to work with pliant dictators than with messy democracies. As long as our autocracies satisfy major corporate interests, as long as they do the dirty work of powerful nations, they will be supported. It is the same across the globe. Morality has little to do with global politics.
Sen: As a photographer, given the constraints under which you often work, what are the kind of compromises you have to make? What are the challenges when you work in a censored environment? And are there any surprising advantages?
Alam: There are times when one takes advantage of people's vanity or allows the powerful to fall into their own traps. I am aware that I have not always made full disclosure when avoidance has been an option. I have also been deceptive when my survival has depended on it. In an ideal world one would not have to resort to such tactics, but when one considers the greater public good, some compromises need to be made. That people are so susceptible to their own conceit is surprising. When people surround themselves with sycophants, they leave big chinks in their armor. Arrogance leads to vulnerabilities, which can be exploited.
Sen: Your work is concerned with representation of political violence and social change. You probe the roots of censorship, capture images of marginalization, giving your subjects a voice — all of which has given you an activist label. As you capture the spirit of the time and the historic moments in Bangladesh, do you think you can do this objectively? And what does objectivity even mean when it comes to human suffering, like we see with the Rohingya refugees, for example?
Alam: In an unequal world, staying on the fence means supporting the status quo. I do take sides and am clearly on the side of the oppressed. But I wear my allegiance on my sleeve. I take pains to ensure I am not being unfair, or am not distorting facts or misrepresenting the story, but yes, I take positions, whether it be Rohingya refugees or downtrodden peasants. I will remain a thorn for the oppressor.
Sen: Do you think photography is a better tool than other art forms to question authority? Is it a medium that can overcome barriers – national, regional, cultural — more easily, perhaps?
Alam: It is precisely because I recognize the power of photography that it is the weapon of my choice, but it is not always the best weapon. There are times when words or dance, or even silence might work better. Often it is a combination that works best. I am not married to photography. I will use it when it works, to maximum effect, and abandon it when it fails. I use the most powerful weapon in my arsenal, and often it is photography.
Pivovarchuk: The recent election, where the ruling Awami League won a disputed, yet a landslide victory, suggests little scope for change at the moment. What are your hopes for Bangladesh in the near future? What needs to happen for change to take root?
Alam: The Awami League knows it rigged the elections. They know their "victory" is hollow. It is a weakness they will constantly need to defend. There is a suppressed anger that is very difficult to contain. Even people who are sympathetic to the Awami League resent that the nation has been robbed. There is a climate of fear, but fear does not buy allegiance. The youth who took to the streets continue to be angry.
What gives me hope is that they still believe. That they have not sold out. There are very committed people working at grassroots levels. They lack resources and are not plugged into networks. With the right guidance and support, they can become drivers of change. The real heroes of Bangladesh are the migrant workers, the garment workers and the millions who work in the informal sector. They are the ones who generate the bulk of Bangladesh's wealth. If they can gain skills and move up the value chain, and are not exploited in the process, and if they can have a say in the process of governance, Bangladesh can surge ahead.

Q: UILabel with CGAffineTransformMakeRotation based on Orientation? (ARC, Storyboard, LLDB) I had asked this question once before but has had 0 attention and the person helping me has not responded in weeks, so please forgive me but I still do need help.
Im working with CGAffineTransformMakeRotation to flip a UILabel 180 degrees, I want the rotation based on UIOrientationPortrait and UIOrientationPortraitUpsideDown. I get 1/2 the result: when users flip to upside down (from portrait) the label transforms 180 and turns upside down as well (still facing the home button [Important])
BUT
when I rotate it back to Portrait the label stays in the flipped rotation state and does not stay with the home button. Thats what I need help with....
Here is the code i have:
#define degreesToRadian(x) (M_PI * (x) / 180.0)

...

- (void)willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
{
    TranslateLabel.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(degreesToRadian(180));
}

A: You are rotating it upside down no matter what the orientation is. If you want it to rotate differently depending on the orientation, you have to do something like this:
-(void)willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
{
  switch(toInterfaceOrientation){
    case UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait:
      TranslateLabel.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
      break;
    case UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown:
      TranslateLabel.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(degreesToRadian(180));
      break;
  }
}

That way, it will rotate the label upside down when the device is upside down and it will return it back to normal when the device is on portrait orientation.

A: I think you want to switch on toInterfaceOrientation, setting the transform as you have above if the orientation is UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown and to CGAffineTransformIdentity when it's UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait. (This assumes you don't allow rotations to the other orientations.)

Marshall Roberts and Euan Gilmour get Cambridge City back on track
Marshall Roberts scored twice on his debut and Euan Gilmour claimed a hat-trick as Cambridge City Hockey Club's first team defeated Brighton & Hove in England Men's League, Conference East

Marshall Roberts scored twice on his debut and Euan Gilmour claimed a hat-trick as Cambridge City returned to winning ways at Brighton & Hove.
City went into the England Men's Hockey League, Conference East fixture on the back of three straight defeats, but they climbed up to fifth in the table with a 6-4 success.
New signing Roberts gave the visitors the lead from a penalty stroke, which was awarded after the ball had hit a defender's foot on the goal line.
Gilmour doubled their advantage after going through one on one with the goalkeeper and, after the hosts had pulled one back, he restored their two-goal cushion before half time after captain Warren D'Souza had hit the post.
It was 4-1 to City when Darren Cheesman registered an impressive individual effort, weaving past a number of defenders and slotting home after a quick free hit.
Brighton got back into it with a couple of goals, but Roberts drag-flicked a shot into the bottom corner from a set piece and Gilmour completed his treble.
The home team got the last goal of the match, but City were celebrating a much-needed win at the end.
"We are glad to be back to winning ways after a tough few weeks," said D'Souza.
"We will come under periods of pressure in games, and we have to learn not to concede during those periods.
"It was great to see Euan Gilmour back to his lethal best in front of goal. And new signing Marshall Roberts had a really good debut, offering a real threat at penalty corners."
City entertain seventh-placed West Herts on Sunday and the skipper is keen for his side to push on in the remaining five matches before the mid-season break.
"We're hoping to gather some momentum now until Christmas," added D'Souza.
In the Investec Women's League, Conference East, City were defeated 1-0 away to second-placed Wimbledon.
They will be hoping for better luck when they host bottom side West Herts on Saturday.

Are we getting the return of Florence and The Machine this week?
By Pip Williams / 10 April 2018, 09:30 BST
The wait is over - Florence and the Machine are (hopefully) dropping their new single on 12 April!
Mike Walsh, head of music at Radio X, suggested (in a now-deleted Tweet) that the first single from the British band's upcoming fourth studio album High As Hope would be with us on Thursday.
'Sky Full of Song' for @recordstoreday - drops on Thursday - it's a beauty
— Mike Walsh (@mikewalshmusic) 9 April 2018
The release also appeared briefly on the Dutch Record Store Day website before being swiftly removed. In the now-deleted post, it was reported that the single would be officially released on 21 April (aka Record Store Day) and would be available on clear vinyl. Good luck getting your hands on that one!
Fan account The Standom claimed to have further news regarding the full-length record, including a provisional release date of 29 June and a 10-song tracklist. This is yet to be confirmed by the band, whose latest official release was a cover of Elton John classic "Tiny Dancer" for Revamp, a compilation album featuring everyone from Miley Cyrus to Queens Of The Stone Age taking on the back catalogue of Elton John and Bernie Taupin.
We're very excited about the upcoming album from Florence and the Machine - here's why.

Mötley Crüe Now Have Their Own Signature Sex Toys
By Gregory Adams
It looks like metalhead bed-adventurers will soon be able to kickstart their hearts, among other things, with some Mötley Crüe sex toys. A full line of hard rock-themed vibrators based around the now broken-up rockers will be ready to fire up come September.
The pleasure-seeking products were announced at this month's Adult Novelty Manufacturers Expo by British company Lovehoney, and as you can see above [via Forbes], the line plasters Mötley Crüe pentagram logos and song references like "Girls Girls Girls" and "Dr. Feelgood" onto various vibes.
Lovehoney sales manager Sabrina Earnshaw talked up the products in a press release, noting that "the eight eye-catching vibes capture the style and sex appeal of the band perfectly and deliver the power and pleasure you'd expect from 'The World's Most Notorious Rock Band.'"
But despite sporting several different paint jobs, there are actually only two different models of vibrators to choose from: the 6.75-inch, 7 Function Vibrator or the 3.3-inch, 10 Function Bullet Vibrator. Moreover, the company had similarly re-purposed the same motorized items for a Motörhead line.
All the same, the Crüe-themed sex toys go up for sale this September.

Ban and Security Council strongly condemn Guinea-Bissau military coup
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon (right) meets with Carlos Gomes Júnior, Prime Minister of Guinea-Bissau on 29 September 2011.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the Security Council today strongly condemned the military coup that took place in Guinea-Bissau and demanded the immediate restoration of constitutional order.
Soldiers in Guinea-Bissau, a West African nation that has been beset by coups, misrule and political instability since it gained independence from Portugal in the early 1970s, seized power last night and are holding both the interim President, Raimundo Pereira, and Prime Minister Carlos Gomes Júnior.
The move comes ahead of the presidential run-off election that was slated for 22 April between Mr. Gomes Júnior and ex-president Kumba Yala.
"The Secretary-General underscores the need for the Armed Forces and its leadership to respect civilian authority, constitutional order and the rule of law, as well as to take urgent and immediate steps to return the country to civilian rule," Mr. Ban's spokesperson said in a statement.
The 15-member Council strongly condemned the forcible seizure of power from the Government by some elements of its armed forces, and called on these elements to ensure the safety and security of the two leaders and all senior officials currently detained, and demanded their immediate release.
"The members of the Security Council firmly denounce this incursion by the military into politics," they said in a statement issued to the press. They also demanded "the immediate restoration of constitutional order and the legitimate Government to allow for the completion of the ongoing electoral process, including the legislative elections."
In addition, the Council urged all parties to exercise maximum restraint, refrain from violence and remain calm.
Guinea-Bissau is one of six countries on the agenda of the United Nations Peacebuilding Commission – along with Burundi, Sierra Leone, the Central African Republic (CAR), Liberia and Guinea – set up in 2005 to help countries emerging from conflict make an irreversible transition from war to sustainable peace.
The Chair of the Commission's country-specific configuration on Guinea-Bissau, Ambassador Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti of Brazil, also condemned the forcible seizure of power and urged the leadership of the armed forces to ensure the safety and security of the civilian authorities in the country.
"I call on the Armed Forces to return to the barracks and release all those they have detained. I further call on the Armed Forces, the political leaders and people of Guinea-Bissau to remain calm, exercise restraint, maintain stability and respect the constitutional order and the democratic process," Ms. Ribeiro Viotti said, adding that urged all parties to resolve their disputes through political and peaceful means within the framework of its democratic institutions.
The UN Secretariat is in close consultation on the situation in the country with the Special Representative of the Secretary-General to Guinea-Bissau, Joseph Mutaboba, and the UN team on the ground.
Mr. Mutaboba is head of the UN Integrated Peacebuilding Office in Guinea-Bissau (UNIOGBIS), which was set up by the Council in 2009 to promote stability in the country.

The Dramatic Fall and Rebirth of SC Paderborn 07
Image: SPIEGEL ONLINE
James M Gowland
"To have a comeback, you have to have a setback", those are words once echoed by Mr. T, and this seems to ring true with SC Paderborn 07 who are making a very impressive comeback after several years of nothing but setbacks. The small-time club worked hard to eventually gain a seat at the top table of German football for the first time in their history in 2014, but from there it all went wrong. Paderborn did not dine at the top for very long, and when they were booted out they fell so far back that within a couple of seasons but for the grace of God they would have ended up playing regional football. Almost as quickly as they fell, however, has been their rapid rise back, and heading into the last 5 games the current season they find themselves just 4 points off an automatic promotion place that would take them back to the Bundesliga, Germany's top-tier.
Based in the town of the same name that sits at the source of the River Pader, SC Paderborn were formed in 1985 after a merger between 3 local sides and first reached the second tier of German football in 2005. Paderborn became regulars in the second division and in 2013/14 went on to make history under coach André Breitenreiter. A second-placed finish that season saw Paderborn enter the big time, for the first time in their history they had been promoted to the Bundesliga.
Playing at their compact, modest but modern Benteler-Arena, Paderborn were a team that had a very small budget to go with their rather small stadium and weren't expected to hang around in the top flight for very long. Paderborn looked like the might prove the doubters wrong, however, as they started their league campaign with a bang, remaining unbeaten after four games and finding themselves top of the Bundesliga. Things then calmed down a bit but a fairly successful first half of the season saw the club enter the winter break in 10th position.
The second half of the season, however, saw Paderborn drop right down the table. Paderborn were losing games whilst the teams below them slowly began to pick up points and overtake them. After a 6-0 defeat at home to FC Bayern in February, the threat of relegation was becoming deadly serious. Things were now beginning to turn out how people had expected before the season started. More defeats followed and in March Paderborn finally entered the bottom three where come the end of the season they would still be, ending the season in last place. But that was just the beginning…
After relegation Breitenreiter moved on to Schalke 04 and Paderborn struggled, with interim boss Markus Gellhaus lasting only till October after the club took just 10 points from their opening 11 matches. This dreadful start meant that when in a surprise appointment pundit Steffen Effenberg left the tv studio and took over at the club they were already sliding towards another relegation. Effenburg described himself as the 'New One', but there wasn't really anything new about his Paderborn team as the dismal results continued and he did not last the season. Academy coach Rene Müller took charge for the final ten games but could not stop the unthinkable and the club finished rock bottom for the second season running.
With so many players having jumped ship, Paderborn entered the third tier 3. Liga with a squad barely recognisable from the side that had played in the Bundesliga only two seasons earlier. This new unsettled side did not however fair any better than the teams of the two previous campaigns and after a disastrous start to the season Müller was eventually sacked in November when Paderborn lost 6-0 to Sportfreunde Lotte, a team playing in the third tier for the first ever season in their history. Müller's replacement was out the door by Easter and Paderborn went into their final game of the season with relegation a real threat. Drawing 0-0 with VFL Osnabruck they thought they were safe, but an 84th minute goal for Werder Bremen II in their match with Aalen saw Bremen II finish a point ahead of Paderborn who dropped to 18th (out of 20) and took the final relegation spot.
Having played in the Bundesliga just two seasons previously, Paderborn would be playing next season in the West Division of the semi-professional fourth-tier Regionalliga, a fall from grace of mammoth proportions. At least that's what was supposed to happen, but 1860 Munich, however, had other ideas…
Having just been relegated from the 2. Bundesliga, 1860 Munich due to financial problems were not able to obtain a licence to play in the 3.Liga for the following season. Not being able to play in the 3. Liga meant Munich's second club would have to settle for a place in the Regionalliga and Paderborn would be given a reprieve and stay in the 3. Liga at 1860 Munich's expense. No club had ever been relegated from the Bundesliga to the Regionalliga in three consecutive seasons and Paderborn's men in black and blue were set to be the first, but thanks to a serious stroke of luck a third successive relegation would not be coming to the mouth of the Pader.
Having taken charge late on in the season and tried his best to save Paderborn from relegation, Steffen Baumgart remained in charge for the following season of 2017/18 that followed, and after drawing their opening match the club then won 7 in a row as they stormed to the top of the table. Paderborn remained top for much of the season before eventually finishing in second. The previous season they should have by rights been relegated for a third successive season, but with circumstances elsewhere working in their favour they stayed up and then produced the most remarkable of turnarounds to secure promotion back the 2. Bundesliga. It really was a script you couldn't write.
During the first half of the current 2018/19 season it looked like too many draws might stop Paderborn from progressing beyond a mid-table finish during their first season back in the second tier, but winning their final two games before the winter break and 5 out of their first 6 when the league restarted put them firmly in title contention. Mixed results in recent weeks means they are as mentioned four points off an automatic promotion spot and one-off the promotion/relegation play-off birth, but with 5 games still to play anything is possible and who's to say they can't make it back to the Bundesliga for next season and complete a stunning rise as dramatic as their unbelievable fall?

Q: Theory of Computation - Intersection of 2 Languages Let's say that L1 is regular and that L1∩L2 is regular as well.
What L2 can be?Is the only option regular?
I have ruled out CF due to a theorem that says CF intersection Regular = Regular.
Furthermore,is it even worth trying to find a solution via the Venn diagram?Because I find odd that the union of 2 CF can be regular.

A: If L1 is defined on even length strings, and L2 is defined to include all even-length strings, and an arbitrary subset of the odd-length strings, then if L1 is regular, L1 $\cap$ L2 $=$ L1 has to be regular, but L2 can be arbitrary.

LONDON MARKETING OPINION
Thursday November 28 2019
How influential can sports sponsorships be?
JONATHAN MACKLEY | PR Executive
Sponsorship in sports is highly sought after. In Formula 1, teams emblazon brands across their uniforms and cars, while in football, clubs have a sponsor showing on the front of their strip. Recently, teams in the English Premier League have also been allowed to introduce additional sponsors to the sleeves of their jerseys and clubs in the lower leagues can include a sponsor on their shirt tails. But, why are companies so desperate for such deals? Vice president of marketing at Nissan Europe, Jean Pierre Diernaz, said: "Sport is now the only potential discipline where you can engage very high numbers of people."
In this article, we delve into examples of the value of major sponsorships to a business…
Individual sports stars
Firstly, let's look at individual sports stars and how influential they can be. An example of this is Michael Jordan in basketball. The former superstar still brings in a whopping $110 million each year thanks to his deal with Nike – over 15 years after he retired from the sport. Retro Jordan trainers (or sneakers if you may) are still strong sellers. In the fiscal year ending May 2016, the range's revenue was $2.8 billion, meaning a deal with the star is certainly worth it for the clothing giants.
Former sprinter Usain Bolt's sponsorship deal with Puma is another prime example of how stars can increase a brand's equity as well as brand awareness. They used him in the Olympics in 2016 to enhance their brand awareness without having to be an official sponsor of the Games. Knowing he would be one of the most photographed participants, they knew they'd be heavily involved in media content. Bolt helped to do this by taking off his iconic trainers after a gold-winning run and making them noticeable to the whole stadium and in every photo.
Football – or soccer – is the most popular sport in the world. With an estimated 3.5 billion fans worldwide, sponsoring a football team can open your brand up to so many potential customers across the globe.
While Audi also sponsors a host of major sporting clients, including ice hockey club ERC Ingolstadt, they have a huge presence in football. For one, they are the official vehicle partner for Spanish football giants Real Madrid. But, what does this actually mean? Well, simply put, each member of the Real Madrid first team is provided with an Audi to drive, with the Audi Q7 E Tron among those most popular among the players in 2017. The pair have been unified since July 2003 and remain two of the most successful entities in the world.
Staff at Real Madrid clearly benefit from this partnership, but what does Audi get from the deal? With Real Madrid being a team full of superstars, the car manufacturer takes advantage of their stature in advertisements. They also perform virtual test drives of new models to build its reputation.
Elsewhere, the German manufacturer is also the main sponsors of Germany's biggest club, Bayern Munich. Having been partnered since 2002, they extended that agreement until 2025 in 2015, showing that there is great value in such deals. For their estimated €10 million-per-year-deal, the German manufacturers get their logo printed on the match shirts as well as an 8.8% share in the football club.
Audi aren't the only car company to delve into the football market, either. Volkswagen are invested in the sport too thanks to their sponsorship deal with UEFA. The partnership, agreed in 2017, saw the two entities connected for four years between 2018 and 2022. They plan to release their new e-mobility family in 2020 – just in time for the next European Championships, which will be held across 13 countries and so providing ultimate exposure and brand awareness.
The Volkswagen brand's CEO, Dr Herbert Diess, said: "No other sport is as powerful as football or unites so many people. Furthermore, UEFA EURO 2020, which is being played across the entire continent, is a fantastic project. Our wish is to contribute towards building bridges between all countries and football fans with our mobility and creativity."
Rugby union is currently only behind football in the popularity stakes in the UK. In April 2018, English rugby's top teams agreed to a four-year sponsorship deal worth £40 million with insurance company Gallagher. While the company is US-founded, it currently has 50 UK branches and will be looking to get a stranglehold on the industry thanks to the exposure it will receive from the sport.
Chairman, President and CEO of the company, J. Patrick Gallagher Jr, said when discussing the announcement of the sponsorship: "By uniting with this globally-known and fast-growing franchise, we have a terrific opportunity to increase awareness about our company, values, expertise and services, and jointly participate in community projects and causes to make a difference. This dynamic business and marketing partnership with Premiership Rugby reflects who we are culturally and professionally."
It's comments such as these that help to show just how effective sponsorship in sport is expected to be.
While these are just a small example of marketing deals in sports, it's clear that every sport can have an influence on an audience. Choosing the correct sporting sponsorships can pretty much guarantee global exposure for a business, making it a no brainer. Sponsoring a festival or other event won't even come close to the outreach levels provided by sports, and that is why sports will continue to be extremely influential in sponsorships. Which is the biggest sponsorship deal you can think of in your favourite sport?

That is so sad. Why do people do that? Poor Grumpy. You do an amazing job. Have a marvelous Monday.
that is just so wrong, why do people kill dogs just because they can't cope with them?? why can't they at least give them a chance with someone else?
Poor Grumpy. I don't understand people sometimes. I'm so sorry.
How sad. Did they give a reason why they chose to do this, instead of giving him back to you?
That is horrible! I can't believe they would rather have killed him than to get him back to you! Those people never deserve another dog, ever! I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Hug your pups and just give them some extra love for Grumpy.
So sad to read about Grumpy. We are sorry that he could no longer come home.
Not in the way you planned, but open your heart and feel him. Grumpy IS finally home! We howl in anger at the owners who were so shortsighted and uncaring...and we whimper with heartache knowing that it was unnecessary. Feel our paws and arms offering comfort and understanding.

Three-time incumbent Wayne Poston held off challenger Bill Evers in Thursday's mayoral recount, but announced plans to walk away.
BRADENTON -- This is it for Wayne Poston.
After hanging on to a slim lead during Thursday's recount of election results, Poston said the next four years will be his last term as mayor of Bradenton.
Three hard-fought elections against rival Bill Evers, the former mayor who came within 23 votes of unseating the incumbent, have left Poston wary of a future on the political stage.
"I'm not ready to go through something like this again," he said Thursday evening. "It's harder than people think."
Especially because the races were so close.
In the three campaigns against Evers, Poston's largest margin of victory has been about 700 votes. When Poston was ahead by just 24 votes after Tuesday's runoff, elections officials went through a mandatory recount on Thursday.
The machines were checked for accuracy, and all 7,400 ballots were sent back through the machines. The final tally had Evers picking up two extra votes and Poston getting one more.
There are four provisional ballots remaining to be counted, but those numbers are not enough to overturn the results. Provisional ballots are given to voters who do not bring their identification to the polling sites, or those who may have shown up at the wrong precinct. The canvassing board will examine the provisional ballots today at 5 p.m.
Evers could request a hand recount or go through the courts to protest the results, but has said that he was likely to stand by Thursday's tally.
Evers could not immediately be reached Thursday.
"As far as the elections office is concerned, it's all over," said Bob Sweat, Manatee County's elections supervisor.
Poston and two councilmen -- Gene Gallo, who ran unopposed, and Harold Byrd Jr., who won in the Nov. 6 election -- will be sworn in on Jan. 2.

Since the grids are overlapping simple intersect will generate a list where some grids add to spatial redundancy. I want to optimize size this list by removing the grids which only contribute to the spatial redundancy. For example, in the following image the skyblue polygon will intersect with four surrounding grids, but the expected output is a single grid (any one of the four intersecting grid).

As mentioned, solution in this case may not be unique, what is expected here any of the all possible solution where count of grids in the solution is minimized.

BJCC welcomes a big crowd for Broadway's WICKED
BIRMINGHAM – The Broadway musical WICKED has attracted more than 40,000 guests to the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex during its two-week run, with thousands from neighboring states joining those in the greater Birmingham area being enchanted by the heralded musical.
"Hosting one of the most popular touring Broadway shows for the extended run in Birmingham has been an honor and a pleasure," said BJCC Executive Director Tad Snider. "Working with Theater League in bringing a defining musical such as WICKED to the BJCC and having it so warmly embraced has been extremely rewarding for our team."
WICKED is a extensive production that requires 13 tractor trailers to move the set and costumes from city to city. It takes setup crews 30 hours to assemble all the elements necessary to perform in each venue the touring show visits.
Steve Quinn, company manager for WICKED, said Birmingham has embraced the show with standing ovations and enthusiastic responses every night.
"I love Birmingham," he said. "We wish we could stay longer, not only to enjoy these audiences, but to explore more dining options. This city has so many wonderful places to choose from, we need more than two weeks to explore them all."
Social media posts from the BJCC skyrocketed thanks in part to a new Guest Experience program. The program focuses on welcoming and guiding guests, and WICKED was the first event to benefit from the program. For WICKED, the team created "S-Elphie". Spots (named for wicked witch Elphaba), which were stickers on the ground that were strategically placed to make for a great selfie photo.
WICKED performances at the BJCC Concert Hall run through Sunday, July 3rd.

Greens dare criticize coal and climate policies during #CycloneDebbie
Original article published at nofibs.com.au
Those uppity Greens are daring to speak about climate change while severe Tropical Cyclone Debbie beat the shit out of the Whitsunday Islands (Read this report of Hamilton Island), Proserpine and Bowen, and now threatens extensive flooding from torrential rainfall for central and SE coastal Queensland.
The accusatory tone from Malcolm Turnbull and other Liberal government ministers is 'How dare you try to politicise an extreme weather event, when we should all be pulling together.', while they conveniently forget the South Australian storms in September 2016 which resulted in a system black which they conveniently and erroneously immediately blamed on the fault of the wind turbines in South Australia.
They have continued to prosecute an attack on wind energy and South Australia, despite a BOM report blaming the primary cause as the cyclonic storm with 260km per hour wind gusts. AEMO also put the primary cause as the destructive winds destroying transmission towers, but also identified in the final report that automatic wind generator protection settings (since updated) contributed to the System Black event.
No pulling together for South Australia, Queensland, or in fact all of Australia, in it's time of need to resolve the lack of coherence in energy and climate policies.
Is there the taint of hypocrisy here? You bet.

Coral, climate change, storm surges and #CycloneDebbie
Article originally published at nofibs.com.au
Tropical Cyclone Debbie is forecast to cross Central Queensland coast on Tuesday morning as a Category 4 Severe tropical cyclone. It will bring destructive winds greater than 200km per hour plus a storm surge with a king tide innundating low lying coastal properties, and torrential rain causing flooding. It is also cooling sections of the Great Barrier Reef reducing coral bleaching from an extensive and long lasting marine heatwave.
Update: 25,000 people in Mackay ordered to evacuate due to storm surge threat.
Update: Coal mines and coal ports affected.
Tropical Cyclone Debbie draws heat from the unusually warm waters of the Coral Sea. This will help it increase in intensity to achieve possibly Category 4, and an outside chance as a Category 5 severe tropical cyclone before it strikes land.
It is the first tropical cyclone to strike the north Queensland coast since Cyclone Nathan in March 2015. Although it may not be as strong, it is being compared in size and extent to the Category 5 cyclone Yasi from 2011.

Keppel Prince expands wind tower production with 50 new jobs at Portland
The focus on boosting renewables in Victoria through the VRET by the Andrews Labor Government is already boosting regional jobs in Portland at the Keppel Prince Engineering wind tower fabrication plant.
The Andrews Labor Government is assisting Portland engineering and manufacturing firm Keppel Prince Engineering with a $1.97 million expansion of the company's wind tower fabrication facility. This will create 50 new jobs to add to the 80 local wind tower manufacturing jobs.
Keppel Prince is Australia's largest, and Victoria's only, wind tower manufacturer. The wind tower division currently manufactures 110 wind towers per year, supplying them for wind farm projects across the country.

Victoria pioneering climate just transition package for Hazelwood coal workers
A special $20 million worker transfer package was announced today for workers affected by the closure of Engie's Hazelwood Power Station. This will allow early retirement for workers at other LaTrobe Power stations creating places for Hazelwood workers that want to continue their careers in power generation.
This transfer package is an important component of a suite of support mechanisms being put into place for the community, a part of a just transition being pioneered by the Victorian government driven by the necessity to move to zero carbon emissions by climate change.
"We will always stand up for the Latrobe Valley and with the worker transfer scheme for Hazelwood workers, we are doing just that. This is great news for jobs and for Hazelwood workers and their families." said the Premier Daniel Andrews.
This particular scheme will cost $20 million to assist around 150 retrenched Hazelwood workers to remain in the power industry. In the first instance, employment transfer to AGL Energy's Loy Yang A will be facilitated, but later transfers to Engie's Loy Yang B may be available.

Community campaign wins permanent #fracking ban in Victoria
Article first published at nofibs.com.au
To ensure it's clean green reputation of it's agricultural sector, and to guarantee the health of rural farming communities Victoria became the first Australian state officially banning fracking. It was motivated by a strong community lead campaign for a ban on gas exploration from 2011.
Legislation was passed in the Victorian Legislative Council, the upper house of the Victorian parliament, for a permanent legislative ban on fracking. Victoria's agriculture sector employs more than 190,000 people and relies on it's clean and green reputation.
The legislation was passed without amendment. The Coalition parties and Shooters and Farmers Party sought to amend the legislation regarding the onshore conventional gas exploration moratorium, but were defeated 20 votes to 18. Sex Party MLC Fiona Pattern and Western Region independent MLC James Purcell gave crucial support, along with the Greens, for passage of the bill.
