Madrid, Sep 3 (DPA) The long-suffering fans of Spanish giants Atletico Madrid are furious at the club's lack of summer signings.
This is the unavoidable conclusion to be drawn from an online poll taken by sports daily AS.
The poll shows that no less than 97 per cent of "atleticos" believe that the team "has not been properly strengthened" this summer.
Atletico's only summer signings have been goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo, defenders Juanito and Leandro Cabrera - plus midfielders Cleber Santana and Jose Manuel Jurado, both back from loan at Mallorca.
Indeed, Atletico - who have won nothing since 1996 - have taken more money in sales than they have spent in signings this summer, to the fury of the fans.
And this in a summer when neighbours Real have spent a record-breaking 256 million euros (364.28 million dollars) on new players.
Monday saw the final sad chapter in Atletico's summer transfer campaign. Defender John Heitinga decided, at the last minute, to leave for Everton. But by then the Spanish transfer window had already closed, meaning that it was too late for the club to buy a replacement.
The Atletico squad of 23 looks decidedly thin and mediocre. It includes nine players the club wanted to get rid of in summer but failed to offload.
The man in the eye of the red-and-white storm is Javier Garcia Pitarch, the club's technical secretary.
On Wednesday he went public to defend himself, telling Marca that "I have built the best possible squad with the money that has been made available to me".
Garcia Pitarch added that it was "a shame" that he had not been able to offload unwanted players like Jose Antonio Reyes and Maxi Rodriguez.
Regarding the Heitinga affair, he claimed that Atletico had received "useful money" for the Dutchmen, for whom Everton have paid around 7.5 million euros.
Garcia Pitarch finished by pointing out that the squad that he has put together has managed to qualify for the Champions League in two successive seasons.
He accepted the "concern" of many fans at the lack of signings - and at last Sunday's 3-0 debut defeat away to Malaga, a defeat which has left Atletico bottom of La Liga.

Customers Get Instant Access to Detailed Data on all Mall Products & Services through WhatsApp, Facebook & Webchat Without Downloads
Expanded Features to Pioneer Superior Customer Experience
'Nouf' Mall Activation Brings Chatbot Face-to-Face With Namesakes
Kuwait, 23 June 2019: Kuwait's 360 MALL has become the region's first shopping and leisure destination to launch an AI-driven, bilingual chatbot - 'Nouf' – available on customers' most used and favourite platforms, which makes it easier than ever for customers to engage with the iconic retail and entertainment centre.
Nouf was introduced to the public last week through an interactive activation at 360 MALL where the mall initiated a call-out for all Noufs in Kuwait. With the participation of over 360 Noufs, the announcement of the launch of the Nouf Chatbot was made to a crowd of anticipating customers who were also celebrated by the mall through branded giveaways and gifts.
360 MALL Customers now have instant access to 'Nouf' who can talk to them in both Arabic and English, via a range of the region's most popular social media and digital platforms without having to download apps. Once Nouf's number is stored, customers can immediately talk to her, at any time of the day or night, on WhatsApp or via Facebook and Webchat.
"We're using transformative and game-changing AI technology to make our customer experience and journey as simple and easy as possible, which is a winning combination for our visitors and our tenants alike," explained Aram Mkrtchyan, Deputy General Manager – Marketing. "Nouf is currently in its beta version and will continue to evolve and develop to better serve our customers."
Chatting to 'Nouf' is almost like talking to a friendly, human personal assistant, through the use of artificial intelligence. "This means 'Nouf' can listen carefully to customers, understand their precise needs and provide far greater insight on the brands and services available than is provided on standard, script-fed chatbots, which are usually just a re-run of website text," added Mkrtchyan. "Nouf goes much beyond this, just as 360 MALL has gone beyond the norm to ensure the utmost convenience. What's more, 'Nouf' has a bright and witty personality, which makes her fun to talk to."
For instance, on learning of a customer's food preferences, 'Nouf' can make dining recommendations, or she can suggest brands for certain items and give directions to any store, restaurant or facility from the precise place in the mall the visitor is communicating from. 'Nouf' can also direct customers to specific outlet types, provide their contact numbers and website addresses and guide shoppers through 360 MALL's many event and entertainment options.
"It's almost like having a personal assistant that is entirely dedicated to you on the other end of the line," said Mkrtchyan. "Nouf will hugely improve the shopping experience for all 360 MALL visitors, which is also a big boost for our tenants. She knows where specific brands can be found and can direct shoppers to their websites to discover the latest deals."
360 MALL's investment in 'Nouf' is part of its ongoing aim of setting a new standard for the shopping experience and the entire customer journey. "We have set benchmarks for luxury, facilities, dining and entertainment and are now adopting the very latest in technological advancements to thrust our customer journey forward," said Mkrtchyan.
Though 'Nouf' is a beta-chatbot under test mode with 360 MALL, there are already plans to further extend her range. "We are embracing the convenience of the conversational commerce era ensuring customers will no longer have to send enquiries via emails or call our customer service to obtain information from the mall. We are committed to providing customers with a more interactive experience as a first stop on the way to full digitisation and gamification of shopping," he added.
'Nouf's' chat channels were chosen because of their high penetration in Kuwait and the wider region. WhatsApp has the Middle East's highest active user penetration rate, averaging three hours a day. 360 MALL Facebook followers can also interact with 'Nouf' on Facebook Messenger and the bot is available via 360 MALL's website - www.360mall.com.
"Customers can start chatting with 'Nouf' by simply visiting www.360mall.com/nouf and choosing their preferred social media messaging platform," explained Mkrtchyan.
360 MALL is synonymous with sophistication, elegance and high-end luxury. This exclusive and unique destination integrates retail, leisure and entertainment in a luxurious environment and is an industry benchmark continuing to set major new milestones in the development of Kuwait's retail sector.

Dungeon Fighter Online coming to xbox live!
By: iorilamia Mar 23, 2011 | 6 Comments
Xbox users rejoice, a win game is coming your way.
PC game Dungeon Fighter Arad Senki is an action-adventure RPG with a oldschool arcade feel. Theres several different classes you choose with skill building and special attributes. Besides the obvious co-op dungeon crawling, the game has a pretty sweet PvP system. Nexon Korea announced they are making an xbox live version of it, that will be the same as the pc version! Yes it will be available in America, no release date yet but this is definately something to keep your eyes on towards the end of this year.
Besides being an AMAZING pc game, it also spun off into a badassnice anime called " Slap-Up Party Arad Senki" which loosely followed the game, but ended up having its own great and entertaining story. If you guys rather play games on xboxlive, your day will come. Or if you are new to the game and want to check out the pc version, go here http://dungeonfighter.nexon.net/
Source: http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/03/24/alad_senki_x360/
Have any of you played Dungeon Fighter Online or watched Slap-Up Party? I loved both of them! No pricing details on the 360 version, would they price it even though the game is free online? It's an Item Mall type game aswell, that would milk out lots of xboxlive points if they go that route ;) Leave your commnets and thoughts below, don't be a jimmy.
Heres one of the old trailers, to give you a glimspe of the game, uploaded by http://www.youtube.com/user/machinima


During the 2011 First Presidency Christmas Devotional, Church leaders presented The Life of Jesus Christ Bible Videos website, a "gift" to the world.
Biblevideos.lds.org is a repository for original short videos that depict scenes from Christ's life, ranging from the angel foretelling Christ's birth to the Savior's Resurrection.
President Henry B. Eyring, First Counselor in the First Presidency, announced the site during the devotional.
Material for the videos is being provided from footage shot at the Church's new LDS Motion Picture Studio South Campus in Goshen, Utah, where filming for the New Testament Scripture Library Project began in August 2011.
The project will yield more than 100 vignettes portraying the life of Christ, taken directly from the text of the King James Version of the Bible.
The website has a mobile-friendly design and is available in English (BibleVideos.lds.org), Spanish (videosdelabiblia.org), and Portuguese (videosdabiblia.org). A free iPad app is also available, offering a new way to experience Bible stories through sight, sound, and touch.
Eventually, nearly 100 videos depicting New Testament scenes of Christ's life will be available on The Life of Jesus Christ Bible Videos website.

Traditional Clay Craft of Larkana Community: Transformation, Challenges, and Opportunities
Posted byHeritageForAll August 8, 2021 August 8, 2021 Posted inArticles, Cultural Products, Food, Crafts: Know-how Transformation and Consumption Theory, Musealization of Cultural Identity
Title: Traditional Clay Craft of Larkana Community: Transformation, Challenges, and Opportunities
Theme: Cultural Products, Food, Crafts: Know-how Transformation and Consumption Theory
Mr. Mehar Ali (Thari Mirwah – Khairpur Mirs' Sindh, Pakistan)
M.Phil Student in Archaeology at Taxila Institute of Asian Civilizations Quaid-e Azam Uni. (Islamabad, Pakistan)
HeritageForAll International Internship Program 2021
"Musealization of Cultural Identity"
Over the last two decades, the traditions of clay craftsmanship have been continued as one of the highest paying and sustainable industries in Sindh, but unfortunately, it has almost vanished probably because of altering the lifestyle from a rural to urbanism, thus, they left their mud-brick dwellings to the concrete shelters (Khoso, et al. 2014). There, the craftsmen were very rich that their living standards are observed in multiple places of Sindh in particular and Pakistan in general, but this craftsmanship is currently facing many challenges. Thus, an article aims to investigate the transformation, challenges, and opportunities of this traditional clay craft and craftsmanship in Sindh especially Larkana where is considered the clay craftsmanship hub. While clay is the main pillar of making the cultural products in this region along with the last centuries, the indigenous tribes, who are associated with and still working in this craft, might be divided into two groups: firstly, clay artisans; secondly, the mudbrick builders.
Over many centuries, clay craftsmanship has been continued and transformed from one generation to another as a significant art – including clay, ceramics, and pottery – in the south-Asian countries. The art of clay and ceramics come authentically to the Sindh civilization (Misra 2001). As a result of this cultural source, it has been found out that there are many sorts of clay handicrafts and pots which were decorated with Kashi Karry.
Larkana community is still known in the region with clay craftsmanship community. Although there are many types of clay products by this aforementioned community, unfortunately, pots and pottery are considered the most prominent cultural product nowadays. Kumbhar, as an ethnic or indigenous group, is considered one of the main tribes which are still working in this craftsmanship as a significant part of the cultural identity; as well as Channa, Mallah, Abro, etc. Kumbhar is still reviving the craft and techniques as their ancestors taught. The clay craft is a systematic process that has many consequence-based steps. For instance, the mud or clay is extracted from harsh grounds; then, it is further being mold and scolded with hands and later, to store the mud or clay for a period; then to form by a pedal machine; finally, Kashi Karri – coloring step. (Sethi et al. 2020) The whole members of the tribe are working in the craft (male and female).
A decade ago, there were many local and international markets in Sindh that have been created and became a convenient space to present their products. In contrast, at the current time, this craftsmanship faces many challenges, e.g. the aforementioned markets have been paused either by the governmental bodies or the private sector enhancing this craft and its community.
Figure 1: an artist from Larkana during his activity (©author, 2019).
Larkana Community
Larkana is a district located in the north-western Sindh, the south of Pakistan. Originally, it was called "Chandka". Mohen Jo Daro is considered the most common city by the transformed manifestations of the Indus valley civilization, its cultural products, and rural practices as well. According to Pakistani statistics 2017, the population is around 490,508. (Oad et al. 2020) The region is well-known majorly for its agriculture-based activities especially the rice crops and guava orchards. In addition to clay handicrafts, a large portion of the population is working in agriculture as a main economic source of their livelihood.
The layout of Larkana is divided into two main parts: a city and a village including the small towns, villages, and local markets where cultural products and other objects are sold by the local artists and other promoters. Regarding rice cultivation, the main traditional food in this region is fish and rice either at breakfast or at dinner, as well as rice bread with Saag and Palli. Rural and local villages of Larkana are the main sources of the cultural products that currently face multiple difficulties and problems.
Transformation, Challenges, and Opportunities
Historically, clay craftsmanship provided many job opportunities as well as other commercial activities for the regions' inhabitants. In addition, there are many international visitors who are so interested to come and learn the heritage knowledge of the clay craftsmanship. (Mughal, 1992) Scanning the current statement, the author do a group of interviews with the craftsmen and others who directly or indirectly deal with the craftsmanship and are going to do a shift career looking for other professions because there is no demand for craftsmen with a convenient salary and also they don't recieve a good number of requests producing handicrafts. Moreoever, they referred that the current kind of customers are looking for the showpieces, toys, pottery, clay ornaments, entertainment objects, the replicas from Mohen Jo Daro in the positions of king-priest, dancing, girl, and figurines. Currently, the raw materials of clay dunes, in Sindh, becomes so expensive with few amounts as well.
In many regions of Pakistan, the factories and workshops of the cultural products, espeically the traditional clay craft, use the modern technology, for instance, in Multan Punjab province and in Hala Bhitt Shah Sindh province. In Sindh, there are two distinct clay techniques, one dates back to Indus Valley Civilization, and another one belongs to the Islamic period in Sindh (712 A.D.). Unfortunately, the most of the Indus valley traditions were replaced by the Muslim craftsmen's techniques which the local artisans adopted in Multan (now, it is a part of Punjab region). Historically, Multan was an integrated as a part of Sindh, and Banbhore was an ancient harbor and city conquered by Muslim general Muhammad Bin Qasim Al-Mansura. So, it has been realized that Arab founded the city Multan (now, it is ruined). Muslim techniques of the clay craft became localized under their rule at different periods in the province, but its influences were deliverd in the whole Larkana region.
Research studies , which have been undertaken over 20 years, clarify the continuity of clay craft techniques and its cultural practices in Sindh, such as the working method, decorative designs and motives, and the materials. Although there are some craftsmen who seek transforming and learning the traditional craft from the ethnic families Kumbhar, Kashgar and Kashi Kari/Kashigari especially in the craft of glazed decoration on terracotta / clay pottery, it has been observed that there are many technical changes which were added.(Salim, 2016)
All these objects are locally available in the surrounding markets of Larkana, as well as throughout the country itself. Although the aforementioned obstcales that the traditional craft faces, there is a good opportunity that the local community in the province still preferes to drink the water from these local pottery and also to cook in it. (Vincentelli, 2000)
In Larkana village "Bhalerji", there is a group of craftsmen who are still working and producing more attractive clay products. Recently, they have depicted the scenes of Sindhi cultural practices on the walls of Mohen Jo Daro museum. Over the last decade, they are associated with the work of making local cultural material and they supply it to the surronding markets. According to an interview withwith Mr. Aizaz Ali Peerzado – a Social Activist, he has asserted that at the time, those craftsmen face problems due to an absence of the governmental financial support promoting and sustaining the clay craft and its handicrafts as a major source of livelihood for Sindh community. (Khan, 2011)

Transformation, in other words, we can say as the cultural development of modern domestic artistic practices. Some decades ago, there were simple technologies in this respect. The clay, water, wheel Chakra/ Chak, kilns, and fuel for kiln are the basic tools of manufacturing these products and its decoration.
Craftsmen are two types. Firstly, those who are experts in the making pottery, traditional Kumbhar, and others are the locals who are experts in manufacturing small, human figurines, male-female, birds, animals, ornaments, musical instruments, and other interesting objects, which is consists on local people, another artist girl calling "Samreen Solangi" from the rural area of Larkana near to Mohen Jo Daro, her house's economy is based on the handicrafts which she manufactures from the clay, her art is not only available in local markets, but also exhibited in Karachi (a metropolitan city of Pakistan). In an interview, she mentioned that she was first going to Karachi on an event where her objects were exhibited. She expressed that "I was thinking that there is something inside me through which I visited the largest city of the country" when she was asked that what is it she replied that "my art". But unfortunately, after the COVID-19 reached, her economy is affected.

There are multiple efforts were taken to revive this clear tradition but not all of them went fruitful and effective enough due to multiple reasons and causes and prominent among them is the lack of technical knowledge and the expertise of the researchers. Moreover, from recent history, we can find out that there are multiple funds which were granted from the governance system for the clay craft's continuity but sadly, none of them reaches for the community.
Some craftsmen mentioned that there are no funds which are utilized for developing the craft. Mostly people, from the villages and rural areas, were responsible for guranteeing the continuity but later most of Kumbhars are right now deciding to leave for the cities to earn a better income end sustain their livelihood. Furthermore, there are multiple stories can be heard from different craftsmen about the success and achievements that they have got from the art.
The profession was one of the greatest ever and it has ruled over the hearts of rulers and households for their handicraft only products made up of clay. Those people believe that there were the days when products made above clay and earthen were very familiar within the household and for commercial purposes as well. Many craftsmen strategically specified that the survival for this industry cannot be done without a complete understanding have the problem as well as without a comprehensive and concrete plan.
Although people are so consolidating for continuing this tradition as they believe, they don't want to leave it at any cost. One of the cases, from Hala Bhit Shah, was expressed the younger generation passionate for continuing the legacy of their generations. They consider that they have learnt this ancient art preserving and transforming for the upcoming generations. They're supposed to continue it without any interventions. In contrast, this passionate faces a great challenge because of the policymaking and the lack of the governmental support preserving the clay craft and craftsmanship while there are multiple families that associate with the clay craft with a great talent, but unfortunatley, they are so poor and suffer the lack of apprenticeship education and how to market for their cultural products instead of communicate with the market mediators who charge the craftsmen very low rates of revenues. (Junejo, et al. 2008) Many producers said that there are certain chances to earn a great chunk of revenue if they are offered good machinery as well as subsidy on electric supply which ultimately will boost the inventory circulation process.
Technical Recommendations and Suggestions
Reviving the clay craft and craftsmanship, the author suggests that the local government has to market these cultural products nationally, regionally, and internationally. The government should provide a feasible market for the craftsmen. He suggests that the banks and companies provide simple loans for the craftsmen and others who work directly or indirectly in the clay craftsmanship covering them with the informative installments.

De Brief van Barnabas is een vroeg-tweede-eeuwse apocrief van het Nieuwe Testament. De brief is in het Grieks opgesteld en wordt gerekend tot de geschriften van de Apostolische Vaders. Het werk is eigenlijk geen brief, maar een theologisch traktaat. Het moet niet verward worden met het Evangelie van Barnabas.

Het oudste en beste handschrift dat van de tekst is overgebleven, maakt deel uit van de Codex Sinaiticus (ca. 350).

Datering
De brief maakt melding van plannen om de Joodse tempel te herbouwen. Deze was in 70 verwoest en na 136 was herbouw ondenkbaar (in dit jaar verboden de Romeinen in reactie op de Bar Kochba-opstand alle joodse religieuze gebruiken). De brief zal dus tussen 70 en 136 geschreven zijn.

Auteur en herkomst
De brief noemt geen auteur. Clemens van Alexandrië schreef de brief in ca. 200 aan Barnabas toe. Gelet op de datering van de brief was Barnabas hoogstwaarschijnlijk reeds overleden toen de brief werd beschreven. Deze wordt daarom als een pseudepigraaf beschouwd.

De brief geeft geen informatie over de herkomst. Omdat Clemens ernaar verwees en er commentaar op gaf, wordt vaak gedacht aan Alexandrië als de plaats waar de brief ontstond.

Gezag
Justinus de Martelaar, Ireneüs van Lyon en Tertullianus hebben soms een overeenkomstige gedachtegang als deze brief, maar dat kan ook betekenen dat ze deze gedachten aan dezelfde bron ontlenen.
Clemens van Alexandrië citeerde eruit, Eusebius van Caesarea en Hiëronymus van Stridon kenden het, maar vonden niet dat het onderdeel uitmaakte van het Nieuwe Testament.

De brief stond in ieder geval rond 325 al zo hoog in aanzien, dat ze in de Codex Sinaiticus werd opgenomen. Tot de ontdekking van de Codex Sinaiticus was men aangewezen op acht Griekse handschriften die teruggingen op één origineel en die begonnen bij hoofdstuk 5, vers 7. Voor het ontbrekende gedeelte was men aangewezen op een Latijns handschrift.

Thema en inhoud
De brief van Barnabas gaat over de betekenis van de Hebreeuwse Bijbel binnen het christendom. Dit was een belangrijk onderwerp in het vroege christendom. Volgens de brief was de inhoud een profetie over Jezus en moesten de teksten eventueel op allegorische, overdrachtelijke wijze worden uitgelegd.

Samenvatting
Begroeting
God heeft door de profeten gezegd dat hij geen slachtoffers of brandoffers wil.
God wil geen vasten; het gaat om de binnenkant.
Let op! We leven in de eindtijd.
De profeten spraken over Christus,
Alles is klaar, we mogen toetreden tot een blije viering van het verbond,
De tabernakeldienst was een voorafschaduwing van wat met Christus zou gebeuren.
Nog een voorbeeld
Niet je lichaam, maar je zondige hart laten besnijden.
Geestelijke betekenis van reine en onreine dieren.
God voorspelde het water van de doop.
God voorzegde de kruisiging.
Wij hebben deel aan het verbond
Israël is het verbond kwijt.

Contra III The Alien Wars
Contra III: The Alien Wars, released in Japan as Contra Spirits (魂斗羅スピリッツ?) and in the PAL region as Super Probotector: Alien Rebels, is a 1992 run and gun game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System produced by Konami. It is the third console iteration of the Contra series, following the original Contra and Super C for the NES. Set in the futuristic year 2636, the alien invaders that were defeated during the previous installments have decided to launch a full-scale war against mankind on Earth, starting the 'Alien Wars'. Unlike the previous Contra games for the NES and Game Boy, the futuristic setting was kept for the American version. However, the identities of 'Bill' and 'Lance', the original Contra heroes, were changed to their descendants 'Jimbo' and 'Sully', maintaining the continuity of the previous localizations. Likewise, the alien invader was once again changed to 'Red Falcon'.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is putting limits on the ability of police to search vehicles when they do not have a search warrant.
The court sided 8-1 Tuesday with a Virginia man who complained that police walked onto his driveway and pulled back a tarp covering his motorcycle, which turned out to be stolen. They acted without a warrant, relying on a line of Supreme Court cases generally allowing police to search a vehicle without a warrant.
The justices said the automobile exception does not apply when searching vehicles parked adjacent to a home.
The court ruled in the case of Ryan Collins, who was arrested at the home of his girlfriend in Charlottesville, Virginia. Collins had twice eluded police in high-speed chases in which he rode an orange and black motorcycle.
The authorities used Collins' Facebook page to eventually track the motorcycle to his girlfriend's home.
Collins argued that police improperly entered private property uninvited and without a warrant.
Virginia's Supreme Court said the case involved what the Supreme Court has called the "automobile exception," which generally allows police to search a vehicle without a warrant if they believe the vehicle contains contraband.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor said for the court Tuesday that the state court was wrong. Sotomayor said that constitutional protections for a person's home and the area surrounding it, the curtilage, outweigh the police interest in conducting a vehicle search without a warrant.
"We decline Virginia's invitation to extend the automobile exception to permit a warrantless intrusion on a home or its curtilage," Sotomayor wrote.
Collins is not out of the woods, however. A separate legal doctrine allows warrantless searches in "exigent circumstances," including whether the evidence — in this case, the motorcycle — might disappear if not looked for quickly. The justices ordered Virginia courts to consider that issue.
Justice Samuel Alito dissented, saying the police acted reasonably. "If the motorcycle had been parked at the curb, instead of in the driveway, it is undisputed that Rhodes could have searched it without obtaining a warrant," Alito said, referencing the officer who pulled back the tarp.
The case is Collins v. Virginia, 16-1027.

Turn around to the sound of revving engines on the Peninsula and a group of men with beards, beers and bikes will be there.
But they aren't the typical motorcycle gang — The Old Dudes is a motorcycle club that puts a new face to the motorcycle image through charity and brotherhood.
The Old Dudes has been bringing together motorcyclists over age 30 from Williamsburg, Virginia Beach and Newport News since 1999, when the founder established a chapter in the region. While there are members of the organization across the world, including the countries of Dubai and Bahrain, Virginia maintains the only active chapter, Mcquade said.
Becoming a member takes more than just putting on a motorcycle vest, though.
Bikers interested in joining The Old Dudes first start as what the club members refer to as "hang-arounds" or "tadpoles." These bikers are invited to ride with the group and hang around during events. Then, after a member of the club decides to nominate the biker for membership, after which they become a probate member.
Once a member has been a probate for anywhere from six months to a year — and they have fulfilled all their requirements, such as participating in certain events — they become a full-patch member and earn a road name.
The road name is stitched into the side of the member's motorcycle vest, and each name has a specific story behind it.
"You either come up with a good name, or we give you one," said club treasurer Ed Bravo, who earned his road name "Coleman" after diving into a Coleman cooler for beer one evening.
Mcquade goes by "DaddyMac," and his wife is referred to as "Momma." Old Dudes president Paul Grimes earned his road name of "Hollywood" after appearing in a TV commercial with his motorcycle.
Grimes fell in love with motorcycles at 8 years old, after his father wouldn't buy him a minibike.
He became the only member of his family who rides, and he bought himself a bike when he joined the military. After wrecking that bike, though, Grimes knew he needed another one and picked up a second job to afford it. He stopped riding when he started a family but bought another motorcycle once his children left the home.
For Mcquade, he fell in love with motorcycles right before his family was stationed in Okinawa. After eating at a diner with his family, Mcquade walked outside to find a group of men with long hair and motorcycles.
One of the bikers asked if Mcquade wanted to sit on the motorcycle, and since then he always had an attraction to the two-wheeled beasts. Mcquade went on to ride in the Peninsula area throughout the 70's and 80's, eventually becoming vice president of the Biker Rights Organization in Virginia.
"It's about more than just the motorcycle for me," he said.
The Old Dudes works in conjunction with Here for the Girls Inc., a local nonprofit that offers services for younger women with breast cancer, according to the website.
One of their main events is their poker run in October. The run spans 98 miles across the area, with five stops: Quaker Steak and Lube, Jose Tequilas, Lovells Place, the Wild Horse Cafe and Malt Shoppeand Hampton Roads Harley Davidson. Usually a few hundred people show up for the ride, with each paying $10 for a single rider or $15 for two. All of the proceeds from the ride goes to Here for the Girls, Grimes said.
"You look behind you and see bikes a mile back," said Ed Bravo, club treasurer.
The motorcycle club began raising money for Here for the Girls in 2004, and since then has dedicated a number of rides and events to the cause.
An alleged leader among the Hells Angels in Quebec has filed a lawsuit against the attorney general of Quebec, seeking more than $2 million while alleging he was detained without cause following his arrest in a major drug-trafficking case. He alleges prosecutors and police held back key evidence during his bail hearing.
The lawsuit filed at the Montreal courthouse by Salvatore Cazzetta, 63, an alleged member of the Hells Angels since roughly 2004, involves a case in which he and 20 other people were charged in November 2015 with a series of criminal offences related to drug trafficking in the Mercier—Hochelaga—Maisonneuve borough. Besides being an alleged Hells Angels leader, Cazzetta has been observed meeting with several people tied to the Montreal Mafia in recent years.
Two police investigators and three prosecutors are also named in the lawsuit.
At least 15 people have since pleaded guilty to some of the charges in the drug-trafficking case, but Cazzetta challenged the case brought against him. Two charges were tossed out following his preliminary inquiry and, on Dec. 6, the prosecution announced it would no longer prosecute him on the last remaining charge — that he was in possession of the proceeds of crime by having collected "a tax" from the drug-trafficking ring.
In the lawsuit, prepared by Montreal lawyer David Summerside, Cazzetta argues he was denied bail and detained — between November 2015 and August 2017 — without cause because the police investigators and prosecutors did not reveal evidence that was dropped in their laps shortly after Cazzetta and the other men were arrested.
The leader of the drug-trafficking network was arrested on Nov. 19, 2015, and decided to co-operate with the police immediately. Within hours of his arrest, he provided a sworn statement, recorded on videotape, and eventually was given a contract to work as a witness for the prosecution. According to the lawsuit, the witness told the police that Cazzetta "had nothing to do with Hochelaga—Maisonneuve" and that Cazzetta had nothing to do with his drug-trafficking network.
Four days later, a Quebec Court judge began hearing evidence in Cazzetta's bail hearing, but the statement the witness gave to police was not mentioned.
One of the investigators named in the lawsuit was present when the leader of the drug-trafficking network provided his sworn statement to police. She participated in the preparation of a PowerPoint presentation used during the bail hearing and testified during it, but made no mention of what she had heard a few days earlier.
Because of this, Cazzetta argues, the investigators and prosecutors "did not act in good faith, rigour and the honesty required" by people involved in the justice system. By being detained for more than a year, he alleges, he was "exposed to a high level of stress anguish, anxiety and insecurity." As part of that same argument, Cazzetta notes that, as was revealed during his bail hearing, shortly before his arrest he had undergone surgery on his heart and was supposed to be convalescing.
People who have been convicted in the same case have received sentences that range from a 43-month prison term to sentences that could be served in the community. At least four of the 21 men who have pleaded guilty still await their sentence. That includes François Langlois, 43, a man who pleaded guilty, on June 20, to conspiracy and drug-trafficking charges, but according to court records, he has failed to show up in court for the sentencing stage of his case since January.

Sigfox wide-area, low power devices, and Ubidots are a simple to integrate IoT solution from device to application. Track cars, buses, containers, trashcan, or even your golf-bag. Keep track of cattle or take your Sigfox device to go and explore the great outdoors.
In this tutorial, we will be using UbiParsers, a feature of Ubidots IoT application development platform.
The Suntech ST730 is a portable device equipped with Sigfox technology, the GNSS location, Wi-Fi, and a set of sensors — making it a nice option for out-of-the-box asset tracking. This module lets users manage data when needed, preventing excess energy consumption with efficient time-outs.
This guide does address the set up of the Suntech ST730 nor its possible configurations; instead, we will be showing a few good set-up practices for building a highly accurate GPS application.
Note: Ubidots is committed to helping you connect your ST730 to our IoT and cloud application platform the easiest way possible. With more guides arriving all the time, see Ubiparse for more data analytics parsers to pair or enhance your applications.
See the SuntechST730 User Manual for additional instructions or troubleshooting to your hardware's setup.
Once you have setup the module to send data —as shown above—, we will now configure the Ubiparser.
Note: a parser is a Node.js cloud function executed when a GET, POST, or HTTPS request is made in the Parser URL as illustrated below.
For creating a Parser go to your Ubidots account -> Device Management -> Parsers. NOTE: If you cannot see the Parsers module in your account, you will need to enable the add-on for $30/month in the billing section of your account.
3. Assign a name to the Parser, e.g. "suntech-ubidots", to identify it in the Sigfox backend later.
4. Assign the POST as the HTTP method from the scrollbar.
Click here for an intro and docs to configure a call in the Sigfox backend with your Suntech device. For this, you will need to use the parameters listed below.
2. Press "OK" to save all the changes and visualize your new device in Ubidots.
With this, your Sigfox callback is ready and the Ubiparser is properly transforming data received to Ubidots cloud. Now it is time to develop your application with Ubidots code-free IoT application tools.
Ubidots is an Internet of Things (IoT) Application Development Platform that empowers system integrators and innovators to launch control, monitoring, and automation applications that turn sensor data into actionable insights. Hiring an engineering team to merge the physical world with a digital world and create an IoT application that both functions and looks great are costly in both time and money, so we did it for you. Ubidots exists as an efficient and economical resource to develop private cloud-based IoT applications and integrate data-driven solutions into enterprises and research.

The Royal Opera House has joined two major London theatres to support TfL's Cycle Superhighway plans. The Globe and the Young Vic have also sent letters of support. The Royal Opera House has been holding performances in Covent Garden since the first building was built there in 1732. Each year, 700,000 people visit the opera house.
As the Chief Executive of the Royal Opera House, I am proud of our role in the cultural ecology of London and its creative economy. More than 700,000 visits are made by audience members each year to performances at the Royal Opera House and we play an important role as a major attraction in the Covent Garden area, which is visited by more than 40 million people each year.
Like many organisations in London, a growing number of our 1,000 employees cycle to work. I am sure that an even larger proportion of our team would cycle if they felt comfortable and safe on the roads. It is also clear that cycling is used by an increasing number of visitors to the Covent Garden area and indeed our audience members.
We value employee satisfaction, health, and freedom and that's why we endorse the plans outlined by TfL to create new segregated routes through the heart of the city. The proposed north–south and east–west routes will help us attract and retain the employees our business needs to continue to thrive. They will make London a more attractive city in which we can build and run our operations.
'Crossrail for Bikes' is, on balance good for our operation and for London's creative economy. And it will save lives. Please make sure these plans are delivered without delay.

I met Aakash Pant at the Himalayan Outdoor Festival at a village called Kakani, a couple of hours drive from Kathmandu. That was my introduction to Nepal — a weekend of jogging, climbing, mountain biking and camping. It was exhausting.
Aakash is 18 years old, he speaks English, German, Hindi and Nepali, is a keen rock climber and wants to kayak from Mustang (high up in the Nepalese mountains) all the way down to the Bay of Bengal. He's doing A-levels in Kathmandu and will apply to study medicine in Heidelberg in Germany.
He hangs out with my brother Magnus and his rock climbing buddies. They're all super fit and often they talk in the strange jargon of this sport. Keeping fit seems to be their raison d'etre and they're always pushing themselves to go that little bit further. Sometimes I wish I was like that.
Aakash's family are Brahmins, the ancient caste of Hindu priests from the subcontinent. He says this caste doesn't mean anything to him or his family — most of whom seem to be medics (his father is a neurosurgeon and his mother researches medicinal plants).
"We are more progressive than most Brahmin's," he says. "A vast majority of people in Nepal marry within their caste. But my father says that inter-caste marriages are preferable as they promote better genetic diversity." In other words, it's not good to marry within your same gene pool as it can lead to inbreeding.
Ganesh and Kartik are the sons of Shiva the Destroyer, one of the three main Gods in Hinduism. Their mother is Parvati, the Goddess of love, family and fertility.
Shiva and Parvati are given a magical fruit of wisdom and knowledge. Both of their sons want to eat it. Brothers always argue and I guess they did too.
Shiva says 'whoever goes round the world three times the quickest will get the fruit'.
Kartik has a majestic peacock to ride on and is confident he'll win. Ganesh only has a little mouse to carry him and he's got a big pot belly. Kartik is slim and fit.
Kartik hops on his peacock and flies away while Ganesh calmly sits at his parents feet. Before Kartik is back from one circuit of the earth, Ganesh has ridden round (on his mouse) his parents three times.
Ganesh says "my parents are my world" and Shiva, proud of his sons wisdom, says that any ritual or auspicious ceremony should begin with the worship of Ganesh.
I'm not sure who got the fruit.

It's a far cry from the days where one book dictated what people could and couldn't eat. The latest turning point for Czechs has been returning to their roots. For a long time, chefs and cooks were too excited by new opportunities or scarred by past limitations to innovate seemingly-communist meals. Plus, Czechs weren't particularly eager to spend big money on the meals they used to get at their cantina.


We all need to indulge sometimes.
The best indulgences are guilt-free!
I have been obsessed with the mint-chocolate combination since I was a kid.
My favorite ice cream flavor has always been the vibrant green mint chocolate chip.
Now as an adult, I have re-created my childhood favorite!
It's not green, but it sure is tasty!
Or whenever nice cream time arises for you!
**You can reduce or eliminate date + soaking water if you find you don't need it. I find it helps prevent Vitamix burn out, and makes the nice cream even creamier.
1. Place half of your frozen bananas, cacao, vanilla, date, and half of your soaking water into your high speed blender.
4. Add the remaining bananas, soaking water, and mint to blender.
7. Stir and swirl to combine. Garnish with cacao nibs and mint leaves.
Vata – This recipe is cold in temperature, so it may not be best for you. If you can tolerate it, eat it while wrapped in an electric blanket. The warming energetic of ripe banana may counterbalance the coldness of this recipe. Mint and vanilla are excellent for you. Alternatively, you may use fresh, ripe bananas (not frozen), and eat this recipe as a smoothie bowl. If the cacao is too drying and bitter, substitute raw carob powder.
Pitta – This is the ultimate recipe for you. All banana nice cream is going to be excellent for you, because of its cold temperature. Although bananas are not an ideal fruit for you, the cold temperature plus mint should offset their warming energetic. I tolerate this just fine as a pitta. Cacao is bitter, and pitta balancing. Mint and vanilla are excellent for pitta.
Kapha – Bananas are not ideal for you. See how you tolerate them. You can always use fresh, ripe bananas (not frozen), and make this recipe as a smoothie bowl if you find it too cooling. Mint and vanilla are both kapha-pacifying. Cacao is bitter, and kapha balancing.

As ever Eyewitness in Manchester has an alternative view on these things, and it's as follows: What a load of poppycock!
As mentioned in a previous newsletter feature, I've been sceptical about this whole millennium thing right from the start. I don't consider 2000 to be an emotional and awe-inspiring event at all.
Far too much significance is given to number combinations in the years. We think in terms of decades, and have a tendency to apply simplistic labels to them. I notice in the present day, an increasing lack of awareness of what things were really like at periods even in the recent past.
A graphic illustration of this is an advert I saw recently. Each decade is represented by a picture, and labelled with the first year of the decade - 1950 is a rock'n'roll dance, 1960 a hippy woman, 1970 a pair of glitter platform boots, and so on. "Make 2000 a year to remember" it says. Yes, quite, because whoever created that advert seems to have completely forgotten what it was like in 1960, seven years or so before hippies came along.
The point I'm making here is that history is a continuum, a gradual evolution, and not a series of rooms separated by walls. Decades, centuries and millennia are markers of time, not significant events in themselves. What we see around us - especially in a place like Manchester - is the legacy of past eras, like layers in the tree trunk of the present. In Manchester in the year 2000, the past is ever present.
This is why, for me, the year 2000 is not a giant leap into a new era, rather a time marker on either side of which things are almost exactly the same.
I must admit, I often get frustrated with some aspects of the present era, and wish I could get into a time machine and return, say, to Manchester in 1933 to see the opening of the Central Library (above right), 1848 to discuss the state of the proletariat with Friedrich Engels, or AD79 to have a look round the Roman fort and take a few photos. I'm sure I'd discover lots of amazing things, though at the end of the visit, I'd still want to return to my home in the present. Unfortunately, time travel isn't an option, though it's possible to visually construct the past in our imagination thanks to photography, drama, painting and other types of media.
On New Year's Eve, still suffering from the after effects of "millennium flu", we made our way down to Castlefield to share in the festivities there. We saw a show organised by Manchester City Council, and presented amongst others by "Eye in the Sky" radio presenter Jo Blakeway. It took place at the outdoor arena in Castlefield Basin - A stage was set up on top of the canal, and there were lots of lights and tv cameras.
The highpoint of the afternoon was when none other than the Millennium Bug himself made a personal appearance, as part of a panto-style performance which I'm sure I would have enjoyed more if I was nearly 12 rather than nearly 42! City Centre Supremo Councillor Pat Karney, in his trademark red patterned tie, circulated through the crowd - he played a key role in the planning of this event, and due credit should go to him.
We left after a couple of hours to catch a certain TV soap (not Coronation Street). TV, in fact, was one of the highpoints of the millennium for me, particularly the BBC's coverage of the events worldwide. Thanks to the wonder of television, I was able to see what was happening as midnight arrived in all the time zones. Manchester probably wasn't the place I wanted to be. I'd love to witnessed the events in each of the time zones across the world, but, like time travel, jetting round the world in synch with the movement of the earth isn't currently possible.
Later in the evening we went to a private party organised by Filipino friends in Chorlton-on-Medlock, just next to the Mancunian Way. We watched the tv coverage, and then at 11.30, I set off on foot for Albert Square. A stream of mostly young people were all heading to the traditional venue for new year festivities in Manchester. When I got there I found a large, though not overwhelmingly huge crowd of people - in fact, the main focus of the millennium festivities was not here but in Castlefield. I can't tell you what that was like - I wasn't there - but according to newspaper reports, it was a truly emotional and awe-inspiring event.
What I witnessed in Albert Square was altogether more low-key - hardly any different to any other new year celebration. As midnight came people cheered, some fireworks were let off, there was a bit of handshaking, couples kissed, and policemen got lucky as girls threw their arms around them, but compared to other places around the world, this event felt decidedly muted.
By ten past twelve, people were already making their way home, and the streets were thronged with cars, taxis and some buses. By half past, I was back at Chorlton-on-Medlock, relieved to be inside again. Driving home a couple of hours later I could see the stars. It looked like the first dawn of the new millennium would herald a fittingly bright and clear New Year's Day.
When I woke up and looked out the window at around 9am, I was surprised and amused to see the trees and houses enveloped in fog - the type of fog we only get very rarely here, and which I like very much as it's possible to take atmospheric photos. It felt as if nature was playing a trick, making New Year's Day in Manchester look more like a 50's pea souper or smoky Ancoats in 1888. I went out and recorded the reality of how things looked on New Year's Day. See my foggy new year's day 2000 picture selection.
This desire to see into the past, and at the same time, capture the present for the benefit of people in the future, is the main reason why I'm interested in photography. I also love watching old documentary films, and excellent tv re-creations of the past, like Heartbeat, Inspector Poirot and Sherlock Holmes.
But let's come back to the present, and have a look at what happened during the Millennium festivities in Manchester, referring to local media reports, which are uniformly upbeat. The reality of New Year 99/00 was somewhat different, though not without its good points.
After a quiet and misty New Year's Day, Sunday the second was clearer, and the main focus in Manchester was on the "Coming Home" parade in Manchester city centre. We arrived at around 4pm and found a variety of floats lining up behind the Free Trade Hall, with the ubiquitous Councillor Pat Karney in attendance.
The most amazing sight was the alien robot monster, with the Lord Mayor of Manchester in his palm. The other floats were colourful and amusing - representing some of the cultural communities of Manchester (but not the Filipinos! Maybe they should have one next time). My only criticism was that it didn't last very long. After some of the very long parades I've seen in Manchester in recent years, this one was all over too quickly.
The final event of the millennium festivities was the unveiling of an art work in Albert Square with shoes signifying absent friends and relatives. Each pair of shoes carries a tag with a message from people who couldn't be with their loved ones at the millennium.
You'll detect a note of dissent here, particularly regarding the three items just mentioned: Construction may be booming, but a significant part of the original character of Manchester is being lost: For instance, the Hospital for Skin Diseases, built around the turn of the 20th century, has just been demolished. The city centre is being turned into one extended cafe bar, it seems, aimed mainly at a youthful clientele. In the past, manufacturing was the main industry in Manchester, now it seems to be "eating, dancing and cavorting", as you'll find written above the door of Brannigan's . And as for the expensive designer apartments, the city centre looks like becoming the exclusive preserve of the younger high earning set. More needs to be done to protect local heritage, and to open up Manchester for a wider range of workers and residents, both in terms of age and income level.
There are also serious problems with local government: At the start of the 21st century, Manchester's tightly drawn city boundaries are a legacy of the nineteenth century, with many negative consequences - There is a preponderance of deprived areas inside the city boundaries, so the council is constantly short of money. Due to voter apathy, only a tenth of City of Manchester residents have voted for the present Labour council, which nevertheless enjoys practically one party rule, as the Lib Dem opposition is tiny. There's a lack of proper debate on local issues, particularly in local media.
I won't go on any more, only to say that instead of wall to wall millennium hype, a dose of reality might do a lot of good.
Perhaps one of the best things about the millennium is the fact that many people have lived to see it who thought maybe they wouldn't, and congratulations to them. I remember as a child, imagining what life would be like in the year 2000 - we'd all be jetting around in rocket cars, Manchester would look like a giant Piccadilly Plaza and we'd be taking holidays on the moon. It hasn't quite worked out like that, in fact the most striking thing about life in the year 2000, now things have settled down, is the triumph of normality - no riders of the apocalypse, no alien invaders - not even any major problems with the millennium bug. In fact, from last week to this week, as far as I'm concerned, nothing has changed - Happy New Year!
I'll leave you with this superb example of how an artefact of the past can be renovated and given an exciting future- it's the Corn Exchange in our impressive neighbouring city of Leeds. Very soon, Manchester's former Corn Exchange, renamed "The Triangle" will be opening - I wonder if it will be measure up to this one.

Fantasy Friday: J. Cole ft. Jay-Z- God's Gift 2
Home Fantasy Friday: J. Cole ft. Jay-Z- God's Gift 2
Jay-z was on J. Cole's first album Cole World: The Sideline Story, but it wasn't the song J. Cole wanted Hov to get on. The real gem of the album and the joint that Cole wanted his label pops to hop on was God's Gift. Wouldn't it be lovely if the self proclaimed God of rap hopped on a Part 2 of the song? Sure! Will it happen? Probably not. Ah the joy of Fantasy Friday.
Personally I wasn't a fan of Mr. Nice Watch, I think God's Gift would have been a great song for Jay to put a verse on, but who knows what goes on in the mind of Hov. Either way, a lot of people would be happy if the boss got on another record with his signee and made some history.
