The 1907 WAFL Grand Final was an Australian rules football game contested between the Perth Football Club and the East Fremantle Football Club, on 28 September 1907 at the Claremont Showground, to determine the premier team of the West Australian Football League (WAFL) for the 1907 season.

One of the most controversial matches in the league's history, the match was won on the day by East Fremantle by five points, then overturned on protest and awarded to Perth after the free kick which led to one of East Fremantle's goals was judged to have been awarded after the half time bell. The final result was a one-point win to Perth, 6.6 (42) d. 5.11 (41). It was Perth's first premiership.

Background
 and  had been the strongest teams in the 1907 WAFL season, each finishing the home-and-away season with a 14–3 record; East Fremantle won the minor premiership by percentage. Those two clubs qualified for the grand final with wins in their semi-finals: East Fremantle defeated third-placed  by ten points; and Perth defeated fourth-placed  by four points. South Fremantle lodged a protest against the loss, arguing that one of its goals had been improperly changed to a touched behind by the field umpire, but this was dismissed.

This match was certain to decide the season's premiership: since the teams entered the match with equal win–loss records and the finals were played under the first amended Argus system, there was no possibility for a challenge match.

Match
The match was played in fine weather conditions, with a very slight southerly breeze, at the Claremont Showground, with an estimated 8,500 in attendance. Ivo Crapp served as field umpire.

First quarter
In a first quarter which favoured East Fremantle, both teams had several early attacking chances repelled. However, ill discipline from Perth saw East Fremantle claim several free kicks and gain many of the best chances. East Fremantle scored first after ten minutes when Harry Sharpe kicked a behind; and soon after, Sharpe passed the ball to Billy McIntyre who kicked the game's opening goal. McIntyre scored another behind shortly afterwards, giving East Fremantle an eight point advantage. Another East Fremantle attack was marked at the goal-face by Perth defender Ronald Southee and repelled.

Perth advanced next, benefitting from two free kicks, from the second of which Ossie Winton scored their opening goal. East Fremantle pressed next, scoring two behinds (Sharpe from a long place kick and McIntyre after a pass from Sharpe). Perth scored one more behind, from Harry Nankervis, before the end of the quarter.

At quarter time, East Fremantle 1.4 (10) led Perth 1.1 (7) by only three points, despite overall having the better of the quarter, with better marking and teamwork compared with Perth, whose kicking efficiency was poor.

Second quarter
Perth had the better of the chances in the second quarter, with several rushes forward throughout the quarter which made the game challenging for the East Fremantle defenders. Harry Edmondson and Eddie Thompson both missed with early chances. Edmondson missed another shot later; but then kicked Perth's second goal after intercepting the kick-off from that behind. Perth attacked from the ensuing centre bounce, and Billy Orr kicked Perth's third goal from a snap shot. It was not until late in the quarter that play evened up, with both teams had several attacking chances repelled, with no more scores until the very end of the quarter.

Just after the bell rang for half time, East Fremantle half-forward Charles Doig was awarded a free kick for holding the man against St. John Kennedy in a ground contest; he kicked a goal from his after-the-siren kick to narrow the on-field margin to six points, Perth 3.4 (22) leading East Fremantle 2.4 (16). It was this free kick, and conjecture over whether it was awarded before or after the half time bell, which led to the Perth's protest after the game, and this goal which was ultimately removed from the score.

Third quarter
East Fremantle took control the game in the third quarter. Early pressure resulted in a behind to Dolly Christy, then a goal to Albert Heinrichs from a snap shot. Orr received a wide-angle free kick, which missed. Late goals were scored by George Brown and Christy. Perth had four scoring chances in the quarter, but managed only two behinds. A three-quarter time, the on-field score showed East Fremantle 5.8 (38) leading Perth 3.6 (24) by 14 points.

Final quarter
East Fremantle opened the final quarter with a strong attack, Sharpe kicking another goal from a snap shot to extend the on-field margin to 20 points and prompt some portions of the crowd to leave. Perth then swung the momentum of the game, making several attacking raids over the next ten minutes, netting three goals: the first came from mark by Edmondson, the second from Roy Wilson, and the third from Nankervis. With twelve minutes remaining, the on-field score showed East Perth only four points ahead, and soon after they increased the margin to five. However, Perth had all of the remaining attacking chances; Orr and Wilson both had late chances to kick goals, but neither scored. Perth continued to attack, but the final bell sounded before they could score again. The final onfield score showed East Fremantle 6.11 (47) defeating Perth 6.6 (42) by five points.

Overall
The Sunday Times''' sportswriter considered East Fremantle wingman Archie Strang the best player on the ground, who was able to both contribute strongly and beat Perth star Andrew Ferguson in his position. East Fremantle ruckman Albert Heinrichs was also singled out for praise. Perth's team performance was relatively even, with veteran forward Jack Leckie the team's best on the day.

Protest
After the match, Perth lodged two points of protest against the result of the game:
1. That the goal kicked by Charles Doig at half time was wrongly recorded, inasmuch as the free from which it was kicked was awarded after the ringing of the bell
2. That the goal kicked by George Brown was wrongly awarded to East Fremantle in the third quarter and should have been scored a behind.
The WAFL board of management met on Tuesday 1 October to discuss the protest, in a meeting which ran until after midnight.

Doig goal
Umpire Ivo Crapp testified his recollection of the free kick against St. John Kennedy, recalling that he blew his whistle, and then heard the bell immediately afterwards. He testified that had he would have conferred with the timekeepers had he not been sure that his whistle had beaten the bell.

The two timekeepers, one provided by each club, gave very different accounts of the incident. Perth timekeeper Frank Kennedy, who rang the bell, testified that he had finished ringing it about two seconds before Crapp blew his whistle; upon seeing that Crapp had awarded a free kick, he rang it again, then reported the issue to the Perth secretary. East Fremantle timekeeper R. G. Salter, testified that he heard the whistle five seconds before Kennedy began to ring the bell. Salter also admitted to having a 10/– bet with a friend on East Fremantle to win the game, but denied this affected his impartiality as a timekeeper.

Perth submitted a total of 47 witnesses, all testifying that they had heard the bell prior to the whistle, usually by somewhere between two and fifteen seconds. Witnesses included: the penalised player St. John Kennedy; the goal umpire J. Webb, a delegate from , who had begun leaving the field before returning to adjudicate on the goal; delegates from several other clubs and private citizens who were spectators at the match, including two who famously testified to having left for the bar after hearing the bell; and several Perth players including Henry Edmondson, captain John Leckie, Lou Cherry, and Dick Kennedy. Kennedy claimed to have spoken with Crapp about the timing of the bell on the field, and Crapp denied having the conversation.

East Fremantle presented only five witnesses, who testified that the bell went two to five seconds after the whistle, including: match boundary umpire Ernest Cooper, official scorer Jefferys, the free kick recipient Charles Doig, and East Fremantle player Dick Sweetman.

The relevant sub-clauses of the Laws of the Game at that time read:
From Law 4: "At the first sound of the bell the ball shall be dead, but in the event of a player having marked the ball before the bell has rung, he shall be allowed his kick..."
From Law 14: "The controlling body shall appoint for each match a field umpire, who shall have full control of play."
 From Law 16: "Two goal umpires shall be appointed for each match. They shall be sole judges of goals and behinds, and their decision shall be final, except in cases where the ball has become dead, either by ringing of the bell or by decision of the field umpire... a goal or behind given in accordance with the above cannot be annulled."
East Fremantle cited the interaction between Laws 14 and 16 as supporting the dismissal of the protest, while Perth also claimed the support of Law 16. There was ambiguity in the interpretation of Laws 4 and 14, in that it was not clear whether or not the field umpire's 'full control of play' included adjudicating the timing of the bell.

Following the presentation of evidence, the Appeals Board upheld Perth's protest, finding that the weight of evidence supported that the bell had first been rung prior to the whistle, and therefore that the free kick and resultant goal were improperly awarded. Doig's goal was struck from the record, and the result of the match was amended to a Perth victory, 6.6 (42) d. 5.11 (41).

Brown goal
Perth's second point of protest contended that Brown's goal in the third quarter could have been improperly awarded, based on a conversation alleged to have been overheard between central umpire Crapp and goal umpire Webb, in which Webb expressed doubt over whether a goal or behind had been scored before awarding the goal; the identity of the person who heard the conversation was not given. Perth's protest did not directly call for the score to be reversed, but rather for Webb to explain his decision. Webb denied the conversation and demanded an apology, and Perth withdrew the second point of protest.

Reaction
The decision drew surprise from many observers. In particular, many noted that while Perth's position was supported a greater number of witnesses, East Fremantle's position was supported by the higher calibre of witnesses whose statements should have had more weight, including all of the game's appointed neutral officials. (Goal umpire J. Webb, who testified for Perth, was not an appointed goal umpire, but a  delegate who agreed at the last minute to cover the appointed goal umpire's absence). The Appeal Board was also criticised for allowing the clubs to submit club-affiliated witnesses at all, pointing to the League's refusal to allow  to submit outside witnesses when it protested its semi-final loss against Perth only two weeks earlier; this led to Perth's numbers advantage in witnesses, as East Fremantle had elected not to bring outside witnesses on the expectation that they would not be permitted. Among the critics was East Fremantle captain Tom Wilson, who raised both points in a published news article the following day.

Fremantle newspapers reacted negatively to the news. The Evening Mail took a scathing line, leading with the headline "Perth premiers: beaten in football, they win in argument" in an acerbic article decrying the decision; the Empire was more measured in its language, but accused the largely Perth-based appeals board of regional and classist bias against the Fremantle-based clubs for both this decision, and the semi-final decision against South Fremantle.

Perth captain Jack Leckie commented "there is not a single man in the team who would not rather have done without [the premiership] than accept it under such conditions", and wished that the appeals board had declared no result'' and a rematch, rather than reverse the result of the game.

Aftermath
Before the 1 October meeting closed, Perth stated that it did not want to win the premiership on the protest, and offered East Fremantle a rematch for the following Saturday; however, at the regular League meeting on 2 October, the league ruled out an official rematch, as it would have required three weeks' procedural notice to change the rules governing the premiership; East Fremantle also declined an unofficial exhibition match.

Following the game, Perth and the Goldfields Football League's premier Boulder City attempted to arrange a fixture to decide the West Australian State Premiership as part of Boulder City's post-season visit to the coast; however, scheduling difficulties prevented this. In particular, Boulder City had arranged a match with South Fremantle on Fremantle Oval for its last Saturday on the coast; in an act of solidarity, South Fremantle yielded the fixture to East Fremantle, but refused to yield it to Perth; and, since the State Premiership was technically a tour match arranged privately between the clubs, the league had no power to change South Fremantle's mind. Some Fremantle newspapers still promoted the game as the State Premiership, although it is not recognised as such, and Boulder City 8.9 (57) defeated East Fremantle 5.3 (33).

On 30 October, East Fremantle tabled a letter asking the League to refer the matter of the premiership to the Australasian Football Council, which was turned down. The East Fremantle delegate threatened to take the appeal to the Supreme Court of Western Australia, but the threat was empty.

In November 1910, the Australasian Football Council amended Law 4, adding the sentence "the field umpire shall be the sole judge as to the first sound of the bell," to the law, formally resolving any ambiguity between Laws 4 and 14. Perth's protest would certainly have been dismissed under the amended law; and similar protests, which until 1910 were often successful if there was reasonable evidence about the timing of the bell, were thereafter almost never upheld.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Creator Of The Internet, Says Social Media Must Do More To Tackle Gender Inequality Online

British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee, the man credited with inventing the world wide web, gives a speech on April 18, 2012 in Lyon, central France, during the World Wide Web 2012 international conference on April 18, 2012 in Lyon.

In a year that gave us Dapper Laughs and a trending hashtag ridiculing the rape of a teen victim #JadaPose, a powerful statement around gender inequality by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, could not be more welcome.
Sir Tim has has called on social networks to do more to tackle gender inequality online.
Speaking at the launch of a report looking into the social impact of the web, he said the promotion of controversial ideas was fuelling a rise in gender-based violence.
"When you look at Twitter, people tend to retweet things which are more extreme", he said. "You don't see people retweeting things that are a really balanced opinion. Twitter is an environment that is emotionally charged." He also called on more accountability be put in place for those who express such views.
How Common Is Sexual Harassment In The Military?
'King Of Instagram' Dan Bilzerian Banned For Life From Nightclub For Kicking A Woman In The Face
Equal rights campaigners have been threatened on Twitter with violence and sexual assault in the past, while Olympian Jessica Ennis-Hill received rape threats after suggesting she would end her association with Sheffield United if the football club re-signed convicted rapist Ched Evans.
New figures released the computer scientist's foundation show that in more than 70% of countries surveyed, users felt law enforcement agencies and the courts were failing to take appropriate action when the web is part of the violence.
A study of female Twitter users aged 18-24 in the US found that 25% had been the target of online sexual harassment. Another report into misogyny on Twitter found more than six million uses of the words "slut" and "whore" over a six week period, with an estimated 20% of these uses being judged as threatening.

Sexism In Tech?
World Wide Web Foundation chief executive Anna Jellema, speaking alongside Sir Tim added: "Social networks have an enormous power to amplify voices, and some of those voices are misogynistic. It's not just that the web reproduces trends that you find online, it can accelerate and intensify them, and sometimes that can be very transformative in a good way but also in a way that can be negative, and that's what we're seeing with social networks.
"it hasn't become the issue it needs to with online service providers or governments; they have a tendency to ignore or turn a blind eye to gender-based violence online and we think the answer is not rush to pass laws to clamp down on things that end up stifling freedom of expression, but we do need well considered legislation and also policies from social networks and online service providers."

People kept in health institutions against their will - Access to recourse jeopardized by long wait times for contesting confinement before TAQ Français
Protecteur du citoyen
Oct 10, 2018, 09:37 ET
QUÉBEC CITY, Oct. 10, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - Further to a Court of Québec order, a health institution may confine persons whose mental health presents a danger to themselves or to others against their will. These people may contest confinement before the Tribunal administratif du Québec (TAQ). However, given TAQ's long processing times for this kind of motion, this form of recourse, provided under the Act respecting the protection of persons whose mental state presents a danger to themselves or to others and under the Civil Code of Québec, often remains purely theoretical. Today the Québec Ombudsman released an investigation report on this subject.
"Motions contesting confinement must be processed as emergencies. Our investigation showed that between 2015 and 2017, in 80% of cases, recourse could not in fact be exercised, often because confinement was lifted before the case was heard," said Ombudsperson Marie Rinfret.
The Québec Ombudsman made five recommendations to TAQ and two to the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux, namely:
Improve training to the staff of health institutions subject to the legal framework for institutional confinement;
Improve the information on the recourse available to people under confinement;
Quickly provide confirmation of receipt of their motion to people who contest their confinement;
Foster the use of video hearings for emergency cases;
Document the grounds for postponed hearings or suspended processing of motions;
Assess the causes for these delays in order to tackle them effectively;
Provide information about recourse through the Québec Ombudsman to the people who feel they have been harmed by TAQ's processing delays.
The Québec Ombudsman's mission is to ensure that citizens' rights are upheld whenever citizens interact with public services, thereby helping to improve public service quality and integrity.

First African-American, Hispanic mayors elected to lead Gwinnett cities
Posted November 8, 2017 4:51 p.m. EST
By WGCL Digital Team
GWINNETT COUNTY, GA — History was made Tuesday night as an African-American man and a Hispanic man became the first-ever non-white candidates elected to become mayors of cities in Gwinnett County.
Craig Newton has served on the Norcross City Council since 1995. He ran for mayor in 2002 but lost to Lillian Webb.
Tuesday night, Newton ran unopposed and was elected to head Norcross, a city that was incorporated in 1870.
Newton says it is important for him to expand the city center, which he says will grow business downtown and increase property values.
Also elected on Tuesday, the first Hispanic candidate to ever lead a city in Gwinnett County. Rey Martinez nearly doubled the vote total of opponent Donna B. Jones to win the election for the mayor of Loganville. Loganville is located in both Gwinnett and Walton counties.
Martinez is a Navy veteran who helped rally support for Donald Trump and Mike Pence as the Republicans stumped in Georgia during their presidential campaign in 2016.

Massachusetts is a state located in the Northeastern United States. Municipalities in the state are classified as either towns or cities, distinguished by their form of government under state law. Towns have an open town meeting or representative town meeting form of government; the Census Bureau classifies towns as "minor civil divisions". Cities, on the other hand, use a mayor-council or council-manager form, and are classified by the Census as "populated places". Based on the form of government, there are 295 towns and 56 cities in Massachusetts. Some municipalities, however, still refer to themselves as "towns" even though they have a city form of government.
There is no unincorporated land in Massachusetts; the land area of the state is completely divided up among the 351 municipalities.
This map shows towns colored by the date they were incorporated in Massachusetts since the founding of Plimoth Plantation in 1620. Many of the towns and future cities shown covering the area of their original incorporation have since been divided into two, three or in some cases several smaller municipalities. For example, Dorchester was incorporated in 1630 and originally included all of the current Dorchester, now the largest neighborhood of Boston, plus the Boston neighborhood of Mattapan, and all of present-day Quincy, Milton, Braintree, Randolph, Holbrook, Canton, Sharon, Stoughton, Avon and the northeast portion of Foxboro. Nearly all of Massachusetts territory had been incorporated by 1815, with the final three areas of Erving (1838), Gay Head (now Aquinnah) and Mashpee (both 1870) being incorporated from previously Native American land.
Some towns and cities were annexed to others; disincorporated; or ceded to another state in their entirety. This list does not include territory changes affecting only part of a municipality; see History of Massachusetts.
The town of Bradford was annexed to Haverhill, Massachusetts in 1897.
The following towns joined the Connecticut Colony in late 1749 after separating from Springfield or just joining Connecticut.
Due to general lack of colonial government there, all four towns in colonial New Hampshire chose to become part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1641. They were ceded to the re-formed Province of New Hampshire in 1680, under a newly-issued royal charter.
Numerous towns[which?] were ceded to New Hampshire after the Northern boundary of Massachusetts was defined by royal decree in 1740.
All settlements in the District of Maine were ceded when the state of Maine gained its independence from Massachusetts in 1820 as part of the Missouri Compromise.
Many municipalities have changed names.

The US has officially pinned recent hacks on state election systems and government officials on Russia.
In a October 7 press release, government officials blamed Russia for orchestrating cyberattacks on political systems and US officials; the US also suggested Russia is behind email leaks on US officials published on DC Leaks and WikiLeaks.
While Russia's president Vladimir Putin has previously denied any involvement in the Democratic National Committee hack – Russia's foreign minister called the backlash a result of "Russophobia" – he has said that releasing US records was a public service. With only a month until the November 8 general election, public officials are preparing for cybersecurity threats. However, the Department of Homeland Security and US Intelligence Community assured voters that it is extremely unlikely that hackers could influence an election outcome.
What some officials fear more is that the leaks will hurt the credibility of the US election process. In July, leaked emails from the DNC revealed that DNC staffers actively supported Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. The revelation touched off protests from supporters of Clinton's rival Bernie Sanders. Here is a roundup of four important figures who were at the center of leaks published on DC Leaks and WikiLeaks.
Leaked emails from the retired US Air Force general highlighted some of the tensions between the general and President Obama. As Supreme Commander of NATO Forces in Europe, Breedlove argued that the US take a more aggressive stance when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. In one email, he asked former Secretary of State Colin Powell for advice on how to influence Obama, who was wanted no part in the conflict. According to The Intercept, the general sought out advice from academics and retired military officials including former NATO supreme Commander Wesley Clark.
Breedlove also struck a hawkish stance towards Russia among allies, painting Russia as the aggressor. During the Ukraine conflict, his estimates of Russian troop counts exceeded those of NATO intelligence agencies. Germany was skeptical when he announced that Russia had overrun east Ukraine with "well over a thousand combat vehicles, Russian combat forces, some of the most sophisticated air defense, battalions of artillery", according to Der Spiegel.
Breedlove has referred to the hacker as a nation-state, and said it was trying to shape a narrative through publishing his emails. Breedlove described his communication with Powell as a natural form of outreach in the chain of command.
He also made no secret of his dislike for Clinton. Powell said the Democratic nominee's staffers tried to involve him in the controversy over Clinton's private email server. He blamed Clinton after he lost the opportunity to speak at a public university that was criticized for overpaying Clinton.
Powell is no stranger to leaked emails, and he acknowledges that the hackers have more in their possession. The Romanian Marcel Lazal Lehel aka Guccifer broke into Powell's AOL account, and released emails to the Smoking Gun dated 2010-2011. They contained information that led him to deny an affair with politician Corina Cretu.
Former Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz was vilified after Wikileaks released emails that showed staffers conspiring against Sanders's campaign. Several emails from the DNC were published on DC Leaks in July. Following the leaks, Schultz announced her resignation after a meeting with Clinton's campaign staffers.
In one of the leaked emails, Schultz called Sander's campaign manager Jeff Weaver a 'Liar' and a 'a**'. The mudslinging came after Weaver denied that fights broke out at the Nevada Democratic State Convention in May.She also slammed Weaver when the campaign manager told the press before the Nevada Convention that he thought Sanders would go to the national convention.
In addition, several other DNC officials questioned Sanders's faith and political ideology. The revelation about the supposedly neutral committee sparked days of large protests from Sander's supporters. Though Sanders has since endorsed Clinton, some of his supporters cling on to the 'Never Hillary' movement.
DC Leaks published more than 2500 documents from billionaire philanthropist George Soros that have raised questions about the political motivations around his NGO network, Open Society Foundations. According to The Daily Caller, the network funded an effort to secure a Supreme Court ruling on illegal immigration.
One of the leaks covered a memo titled, "Police Reform: How to Take Advantage of the Crisis of the Moment and Drive Long-Term Institutional Change in Police-Community Practice." According to Breitbart, Open Society approved $650,000 to fund groups involved in Black Lives Matter.
The leaked documents also hint at political intrigue abroad. Soros's international organization may have tried to influence Europe's 2014 elections, reports Investors Business Daily.
The US accused Russia of recent cyberattacks. Here are four prominent US persons whose private documents were published on sites tied to Russian hackers.

"Texture," the latest exhibit at the Russell Collection Fine Art Gallery, promises to be a full sensory experience. Canvases filled with watercolors, wax and 3-D sculptural oils will line the walls at the expansive West Sixth Street gallery in a show that starts this weekend and runs through October 31. Featuring the work of two Dallas-based artists, JD Miller and Brad Ellis, and New Mexico-based artist Cody Hooper, the show is based on a concept that Lisa Russell, owner of the Collection, says was "kind of like an everflowing, spontaneous decision." With the three artists she wanted to feature already in mind, Russell says she began examining their work and thought, "Oh, my god — I should have a show called 'Texture.'"
Russell, whose gallery represents the masters — featuring more than 100 original works from as far back as the 1600s — as well as a dozen contemporary artists, explains that every single one of her shows is different from the others. "Texture" is about color, abstractness and expanding our senses. Photographs of the pieces don't do the paintings justice, she says: "When you're in front of any one of these three artists, it's a visual — and, I want to say, a sensory — experience."
"Texture" is about color, abstractness and expanding our senses.
Take Miller's pieces, which combine chromatic expression with 3-D sculptural oils into multidimensional images that seem almost to drip off the canvas. Looking at them, as Russell describes it, makes you "really badly want to go and touch the painting and see if it's still wet, because it's coming off the canvas so much."
Ellis gives the exhibit texture in huge format, creating large-scale pieces from encaustic pant. Using torches to melt wax and combining it into collages with oil paint, he creates enormous, mixed-material work. It's a labor-intensive and sometimes tedious process; the artist often spends weeks creating a single piece. The result engages us in a bold way, drawing the eye to wisps of color and sporadic patterns.
Like Miller, Hooper — who comes from a watercolor background and draws his inspiration from nature — uses unorthodox tools and methods to bring out multiple layers of texture in his work. Paper towels, ink rollers, spray bottles and alcohol all go into creating depth in Hooper's pieces, which are rough and layered, often hiding bursts of lights beneath the surface. Hooper seeks richness in each of his pieces, a quality he thinks sets his work apart. "My pieces have a lot of discovery," he says, "a lot of hidden things — peeks of light coming out. The dynamics of the art tell a story."
"Texture" opens Saturday, September 28, with an artists' reception 6-9 pm at the Russell Collection Fine Art Gallery. An RSVP is requested for the opening reception, which will feature appearances by the artists and signed art for acquisition. If you can't make it on Saturday, simply swing by the gallery (Tuesday-Saturday, 10 am-6 pm) to experience the exhibit, which runs through October 31.
And if you're looking to engage your senses on an even deeper level, the Art Bites event on October 10 will feature Austin's top chefs creating tastes based on pieces of art from the Russell Collection, including the "Texture" exhibit. Buy your tickets here.

Calico recently performed at our Conference Partners' Dinner at Skyline, Queenstown. Our delegates loved the relaxed atmosphere John & Gemma created for dinner and were more than eager to hit the dance floor when they upped the tempo! With the perfect variety of relaxed music and classic sing-a-longs, all 175 delegates were kept very entertained. John and Gemma were so easy to work with and I would not hesitate in recommending their event band for any function, corporate or otherwise.
Thank you so much for all your professionalism in regards to working with the Events Team at Millbrook. We receive so many compliments, all of which express the touch of class that you added to our clients special occasions; you are a pleasure to deal with and look forward to working with you again in the future.
After working closely with Calico Entertainment for over 5 years they are now Future Bars 'go to' Entertainment providers. Off the stage they are an absolute pleasure to work with, relaxed, knowledgable, and efficient, then once on the stage they are simply superstars. There ability to adapt to the crowd is for me their biggest strength, I have booked them for acoustic chilled Cocktail Evenings, and then bring the house down Wedding Receptions. Super talented, extremely popular, and most certainly recommended.
Working with Gemma and John and booking Calico for over the last few years has been an absolute pleasure. They are extremely professional to work with and their music has always been superb and at very high calibre. I would recommend Calico for any event.
Calico have been a part of several events I have organised and they are always a pleasure to work with. They are professional, helpful in the organisation and their music is of the highest calibre. The Hilton brand is about quality and excellence, which must be mirrored in all aspects of the service delivered to our clients and guests. I have no hesitation recommending Calico for any event.
Calico – you guys are stars!! What a great night that everyone had, and I must say you guys made the night – you were brilliant. Thanks again for contributing to such a fabulous night!!
Cheers Calico, nice effort on Tues, sincerely appreciate your efforts. We all pulled it off, absolute winner. Cheers & all best.

Every year, a leading Indian IT giant - let's call it Company A - hires several thousand fresh engineering graduates from colleges across India. Since the recruits come from diverse engineering streams and regions across India, a significant disparity is witnessed in their core skill levels. For obvious reasons, students from some streams do better than the othersto complete the post-joining training program.
As a result, candidates from other streams suffer from loss of confidence and suboptimal learning outcome, which leads to poor on-the-job productivity. Witnessing the magnitude of the problem, the company soon realized that it was absolutely imperative to minimize the skill disparity among fresh hires.
Company A started evaluating various training organizations for a Pre-Joining Program (PJP), which would bring all their fresh hires at par. In their process of search and evaluation, they came across Manipal Prolearn, one of the leading providers of cutting-edge learning solutions for the rapidly evolving IT industry.
Manipal Prolearn, a leading learning solutions provider comprising veteran academic and IT industry professionals quickly identified the customer pain-points. An online Pre-Joining Program was devised to impart foundation courses on various technologies to the fresh hires spread across the diverse regions in India.
The course content and pedagogy were tailored to suit the learning methods of the target group, extensive training modules in various technologies – audio-visual resources, self-help tools etc.to name a few.
The program comprised the weekly webinar, conducted by the faculty and experienced professionals. Candidates got a chance to build their coding skills in various languages on Manipal Prolearn's proprietary coding platform.
Spread over 12 weeks, the inaugural PJP program for the IT giant (Company A) trained nearly 1,500 candidates from 41 colleges across a range of subjects. During this time, the "active learners" spent more than 233,000 hours online and attended 53 webinars.
At the end of the program, specially designed assessments tested the candidates on a variety of metrics such as the ability to build logic and apply programming concepts, among others. Candidates needed to score at least 60 percent marks on the assessments, which included a hands-on coding evaluation.
The PJP program was a great success in improving the technical skills of candidates. It helped even the candidates without a computer science background. The pedagogy, which drew upon methods ranging from online learning and"hands on" practical programming sessions to tutoring through webinars, contributed greatly to the fact that more than 90 percent of learners achieved the desired outcome in the final assessment.
Buoyed by the results of the first PJP, Company A mandated Manipal Prolearn to train the succeeding batches of fresh recruits. Furthermore, the program is currently underway, and already promises to exceed the performance of the initial program.

Thank you for visiting 50 Days to 50 Years- our homage to The World's Most Magical Celebration. We are so thankful that Mike of My Dreams of Disney is making his third guest appearance, and delivering Walt Disney World 1985 to us today!
Walt Disney World 1985 Highlights
In Magic Kingdom…
While many things have since seen the passing of time, the one thing that stands out and continues to this day is Tinkerbell's flight during the fireworks shows. That is one of the things that I look forward to with each and every showing. I hope that it never ends!
Tink!
Tinker Bell's First Nighttime Flight
'Tinker Bell's Nighttime Flight' began at Walt Disney World on July 3, 1985. Though Tink had been soaring over Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle since 1961, this marked a first for Magic Kingdom. Since then, she has flown regularly from her perch on Cinderella Castle, with a landing on a rooftop in Tomorrowland. (As per WDW Magazine, Tinker Bell can fly at a speed of 25 to 30 miles per hour. This makes her entire journey last approximately 30 seconds. So look sharp!) And pro tip from Kay of planDisney: the best viewing spot is from Tomorrowland Terrace.
Also in 1985, ABC began televising the "Walt Disney World Happy Easter Parade", and NBC radio began regular broadcasts from the Magic Kingdom.
During 1985, Disney Chairman Michael Eisner announced plans to construct Disney-MGM Studio. This newest project was projected to cost $300 million dollars and would be themed as a Hollywood-style third park at Walt Disney World.
Nine Dragons Restaurant
Over in EPCOT Center, the Nine Dragons Restaurant opened in the China Pavilion in World Showcase. Unfortunately, this dining venue establishment has never quite lived up to the beauty and authenticity of this pavilion.
Thank you for following along with our 50 Days to 50 Years series. I speak for myself, but I'm certain that every Disney blogger that has written in this series has enjoyed bringing you the history of Magic Kingdom as much as I have!
Three time's a charm Mike! We are so thankful for your insights and ability to bring us these Walt Disney World forgotten tidbits and lasting traditions. Please remember to stop by Mike's blogs. Please wish him a very happy site anniversary @Mickey_MDOD.
Tomorrow, series co-host Beth will share some very special family memories from the year 1986.

Being half Belgian and half Greek, Naomi Velissariou (1984) claims hers is the absolute ultimate in tragic national identities currently available. In A Tragedy (simplified) she pairs her ambiguous relationship with her ancestral Greece and her birthplace Genk with a love of the classics. Intertwining these elements, she has created a postmodern family epic along the lines of the Oresteia, the classic Greek saga on family, fate and identity. In A tragedy (simplified) SUFFERING features as a character. With an infectious sense of humour Naomi Velissariou analyses the mechanics of the tragedy live on stage, using a fable that is 'accidentally personal'.
Fear, it seems, is faceless.
chain it to a post and shoot it.
The actress plays Electra, but in Genk, the town where she grew up. "Her life there is a tragedy"

Home Featured News How Grand Rapids built its brewing community
How Grand Rapids built its brewing community
Joshua Vissers
The Hopcat, photo by Jason Babcock
By Jerry Jones
Grand Rapids is a city defined by a unique Midwestern style; an unpretentious and fresh view on the world of art, food and drink that continues to bring the city acclaim. Today, Grand Rapids finds its fortunes as tightly interwoven with the rejuvenation of microbreweries as it did 80 years ago with the newly formed commercial furniture market.
Both industries experienced growth due to high public demand, and in both cases, Grand Rapids was there to fill the need. Today we find an explosive cityscape filled with 17 distinct breweries, an up and coming giant of the industry, and the title of "Beer City, USA" two years running.
"If you're talking about Grand Rapids beer history, the starting point would be The Grand Rapids Brewing Company that opened their doors over 100 years ago," explains Ben Darcie, beer entrepreneur, teacher and distributor. Darcie, a Grand Rapids native, teaches classes on the art of beer at local breweries. "But Founders was the start of modern craft beer in Grand Rapids."
GRBC and Founders do represent two very different, yet pivotal turning points in the history of Grand Rapids beer. The beginning of the 20th century marked GR's first entry to the national stage, as GRBC's "Silver Lager" invaded taps across America. Yet, 13 years of prohibition took its toll and by the end of the 1930's, Michigan beer hit a low point it would take decades to recover from.
Founders Brewery, separated from the GRBC by over a hundred years, would be the rejuvenation of Michigan beer. Opening in 1997, Founders struggled to make a mark at first, declaring bankruptcy twice.
"Founders, while they were up on Monroe, were just surviving. To the public eye, they were doing fine. The insiders know just how close they came to throwing in the towel," reveals Chas Thompson, historian and beer engineer for Schmohz Brewery near 28th and Patterson. "Their real turnaround was when they started making weirder beers."
Founders had indeed changed their production strategy at a pivotal point in American beer. It coincided with a new great social revival in artisan beers. Using elaborate ingredients and pushing the envelope of what people expected of beer, craft style recipes had always existed on the outskirts as specialized drinks for true enthusiasts.
Now, however, they resurfaced into the mainstream, clashing threateningly with commercial beers that had been standards for decades.
"The weird, wild, creative and strange beers, those are what get press, but they don't traditionally sell in volume," Thompson explains. "Commercial beers, or Rank & File as we call them, still keep the lights on. Those are the beers that everyone likes to drink, but aren't really distinguishable from one another. They are business for your pub, comfortable and familiar beers. Producing those is what allows us to try new and exciting things."
For Founders, plagued by sub-par beer, it was only when they finally abandoned their attempts to produce the next Rank & File that they found success. It was part luck, part daring and part excellent beer.
Founders' success and a new social acceptance for craft beers gave fresh opportunities to many newcomers in the Grand Rapids beer scene. Some who were just beginning, and some who had been there all along, quietly making small batches of prize winning beer and waiting for their time to come. It gave many award-winning breweries an opportunity to expose their recipes to a mainstream audience.
Schmohz brewery found success with statewide distribution of its beer. Others found more modest success with local bars serving homemade recipes. Nano and Microbreweries exploded in different pockets of the city. It blanketed Grand Rapids in choices.
"It's important to note the gradual growth and points in our cities history where we had no breweries at all," Darcie comments. "The beer craze is still very fresh here."
Yet the impact it's had in the last five years alone has been substantial. Since bottoming out during the market crash of 2008 at 45,000 employees, the cities employment rate has shot up to nearly 80,000 this year; 30 percent higher than our pre-depression average. A large part of that success is owed to the 17 unique breweries that have come to the city.
"The Michigan beer scene has been incredibly aggressive over the last few years," Darcie explains. "Michigan's beer scene brought in $2 billion into the economy in 2012. The industry growth has been 20 percent compared to the national average of 12."
That's not just from local breweries serving local people. Michigan's success owes a lot to a new concept in the beer industry that has had a substantial impact on craft breweries: beer tourism.
"Beer tourism is a new word for Grand Rapids that has had an overwhelming effect," explains Janet Korn, Vice President Of Marketing for Experience Grand Rapids. "Our craft beer is a cultural experience and it's been fantastic for our economy".
Why Grand Rapids has become a rallying point for a new craft beer culture is difficult to say. It's a combination of many elements, including timing, great quality beer and enthusiastic fans. The recipe for a successful beer city is much like the brew it's named for. It's a delicate balance of the right ingredients prepared in just the right way with passion and attention to detail. Darcie feels there is, however, one ingredient more important than all.
"We owe our success as a beer city to our attitude," Darcie tells. "We do not have a competitive beer culture. Our breweries aren't afraid of the brewery that opened up down the block. They exchange ingredients, ideas. They've built a community. It's that idea that's kept this community thriving: our beer is not elitist."
Thompson agrees. He's a founder of the Grand Rapids Society Of Brewers, an organization that seeks to create a community between different brewers for support and growth.
"The GRSB is an intentionally unorganized group of brewers," Thompson smiles. "We put it together so that everybody had everybody's number. So if you were short on grain, or needed advice, you knew the other guys in town."
That community is what promises the most for Grand Rapids future. Despite the threat of over-saturation as the successful market grows exponentially, Darcie remains confident in the future.
"Our future is growth. Our culture of beer, our collaborative spirit is what has kept us thriving, and will keep us successful. It's what makes us Beer City, USA."

Hey, guys, I'm back into calcs!
I made a new game demo, this time of Sudoku!
Use the arrow keys to move the selection cursor. Press a number key (1-9) to enter a number in a square (0 or Del erase numbers). In each empty square, you may add pencilmarks for you to note the possible candidates of a square. Press ALPHA to enter and exit pencilmark mode, and press a number key (1-9) in this mode to turn that pencilmark for the square on or off. The program quits if all squares are filled in correctly or you press CLEAR.
There is a sample puzzle coded in, but if you want to change the puzzle, change GDB1 in the source file and recompile. The setup should be obvious for a puzzle, but please let me know if you have any questions.
Source file and program file available for download. Tell me your opinions so far.
Looks very nice! Was it coded in pure ASM?
Thanks! And no, it is coded in Axe.
Once I put in a random puzzle generator, I will upload it to every archive I know.
Project update! Now added random puzzle generator that automatically creates a random puzzle upon startup. Occasionally, the puzzles may have more than one solution, and once I figure out a way to generate puzzles that does not have this flaw, I will update once again (and upload to the archives).
Source file and program available for download. Thanks for the support so far!
Yes indeed! This is a great style for layout; I do like how it displays the squares as a separate section. Great work!
Thanks! That was specifically thought of so that pencilmarks would become possible to display.
Update! Now there are random puzzles with selectable difficulty...and they are all guaranteed to be solvable! You can specify the difficulty with a number in Ans; 5 for Beginners, 4 for Easy, 3 for Newspaper Level, 2 for Hard, and 1 for ARE YOU INSANE?!?!?
Source and program file available for download (soon to be on ticalc as I update). Please tell me what you think!
Just keeps getting better and better! And I will be going right for the insane mode. Keep up the awesome work!
Source and program file available for download. Soon I will upload it to every archive I know. Please give feedback!
Making each individual sub-grid appear in magnified form is a clever touch, and certainly makes it easier to see what you're doing. Keep up the good work, and I'm glad you've uploaded this to the Cemetech Archives.
You're welcome. However, if you want to quote me on that as a testimonial in your readme, please be sure to ask permission first.
The current update is on ticalc.org!
Also, I'm working on a few minor changes to the menu and controls. Those will come in a few days.
Nice! This has come together real quick!
Also I tried it on my real TI-84+ and the graphics phenomenon that I mentioned over on Omni did not occur - I think it might be some WabbitEmu thing, or the ROM that I was using is corrupted or something..
Eh, must have been the emulator.
This very well could be my last update. This comes with minor menu and control changes. ENTER now returns to the main menu.

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Thursday called for unity in the Muslim world in order to counter "oppression" from the West, on the anniversary of his predecessor's death.
In a speech marking 26 years since the death of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic republic, Khamenei also ruled out any warming of ties with the United States, one of several world powers negotiating a nuclear deal with Tehran."We must pay attention to conspiracies seeking to divide on the basis of religion, between Shiites and Sunnis, or on an ethnic basis," he said.
Khamenei praised Khomeini for having coined the term "the Great Satan" to refer to the United States, with which diplomatic ties have been severed since 1980.Khamenei, who has the final say on all state matters in Iran, expressed doubt over the sincerity of the world powers to strike a nuclear deal with Tehran.
"In recent events, we have seen that we cannot have confidence in the promises of the oppressors and their declarations during private meetings," he said.Khamenei, while supporting the Iranian negotiators, has often expressed his doubts about the possible outcome of the negotiations.
A senior Iranian negotiator said on Thursday that "important progress" had been made on the nuclear issue, but added that it would be a "complicated and difficult" task to get a lasting accord struck by a June 30 deadline.

'He's a cool guy': Kevin Federline meets Britney Spears' new boyfriend for the first time
Kevin Federline has given Britney Spears' new boyfriend David Lucado his seal of approval.
Kevin, who is Britney's ex husband and the father of her children, revealed to TMZ on Saturday that he had met David for the first time earlier that day as the trio came together to cheer on sons Sean Preston and Jayden James at their soccer match.
"We were chillin'. We gotta support the kids in what they do," said the 35-year-old father-of-five. "That was my first time meeting him. He's a cool guy."
Britney and David have been dating for around nine months, and seemed blissfully happy together as they stood on the sidelines supporting her two sons.
Kevin attended without his new wife, volleyball player Victoria Prince — the couple, who have a two-year-old daughter Jordan together, tied the knot on August 10. But he was perfectly at ease spending time with Britney and David, and insisted there was no ill feeling.
"Nah man, I mean everybody's moved on… except you guys," he laughed. "I was there watching my son play soccer."
It is unlikely the two couple will be heading out on any double dates though. "Not likely. Not likely," Kevin said, laughing. "It would definitely be interesting, that's for sure."
Also at the soccer game was Britney's father Jamie, who was pictured cheering on his grandsons alongside the singer and her boyfriend.
Britney has been busy lately, working hard in the dance studio as she prepares for her two year residency at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, starting in late December.
She is also putting the finishing touches on her eighth studio album, Britney Jean, which is scheduled for release on 3 December — the day after her 32nd birthday.
The Toxic singer is also hoping to one day expand her family. "I'd like to have more kids, settle down… have kids - maybe twins - and get married," she told Germany's RTL network in October. "That would be nice."

On-page SEO involves optimizing the various pages on your website to rank higher in Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs).
On-page SEO helps you to run successful internet marketing campaigns. According to research done by compete.com, more than 80% of users click on the first-page result on search engines.
It is therefore important that you invest time and effort in optimizing your web pages to help them rank higher on Google search engine.
A good SEO strategy will help your website and web pages rank higher in search engine results.
Still, some people may not have the time, the expertise or inclination required to dig into this technical field.
Hence, it is paramount to employ the services of an SEO expert who has extensive knowledge of on-page SEO to help you develop content that Google's secret algorithms can capture.
The only reason people will visit your website is if it contains the information they are looking for. You should strive to create unique content that is useful to your users to help you rank higher in search engines.
Note that the search engines read your text to check its relevance.
According to recent research, 47% of your target audience expect your site to load in less than 2 seconds. A website that takes too long to load affects its search engine ranking negatively regardless of how good their content and on-page SEO are.
Your aim should be for your site to load faster than your competitors' websites. According to Google themselves, your page speed does affect your site ranking in Google SERP.
The faster it loads, the more your click-through rate. According to Google's John Mueller's Twitter post, he recommended to keep your web page load speed in under 2 to 3 seconds and to use the webpagetest.org tool for measuring your page speed.
The same applies to a site that is not mobile friendly. At least 60% of mobile Google searches today come from a mobile device.
Hence, if your website is not mobile friendly, you automatically lose half of potential traffic. Ensure your site is mobile friendly and then consider accelerated mobile page speed.
Use the mobile friendly test tool from Google to check if your website is mobile friendly.
In fact, we have been reaching out to our LinkedIn connections to pre-alert them about Google's Mobile-First indexing so everyone can be proactive & not lose any business with this update rolling out.
Having a "mobile friendly" website and having a "fast website page speed" are critical factors in the months ahead when Google's Mobile-1st index rolling out.
If you want to rank higher, you need to focus on keyword optimization. An SEO expert has all the necessary knowledge and expertise needed for coding and optimizing the structure of your pages.
They will take their time to do an advanced keyword research on the primary keyword or search phrase that users search for in your industry.
A top-notch Google SEO expert will also evaluate what type of keywords your competitors are using and how well they are working to help you produce search engine-friendly content.
When creating your on-page SEO strategy, it is important to include your main keyword in the meta tags.
The most important meta tag is the title tag and meta description of your website.
Always group your pages into categories to make it easier for your users and search engines to locate you.
Including the keyword in the URL structure will enable your page to send a high relevancy signal to search engines helping them to easily assess and understand the relevance of your page to the search query.
The final pillar of a great on-page SEO marketing is user experience. Your visitors should be able to find what they are looking for without hustle.
Your website should be fast, easy to navigate, and beautifully designed to attract and maintain their attention.
Interlinking pages on your site is a good way to improve the user experience. It helps to keep your users engaged longer.
This will also help improve your rankings since Google believes that if users spend longer time on a website, it is an indication of quality.
Linking and referencing your content to other authoritative resources will help improve your ranking. It indicates to Google your desire to help visitors learn more about the subject matter.
It also helps Google identify what your page is about.
For new website owners with little information on website optimization, it is advisable that you engage a well trusted top SEO company to help you gain the advantages of on-page SEO.
By so doing, you will be able to improve your ROI, save time, as well as boost your brand recognition.

Unravelling: I Just Heard from Lalla Jones!
Lalla has been teaching English all over African and the Middle East, and gave away her two looms last year to someone in Tucson. It must be the first time we communicated since... 1979? Facebook is officially very cool in my book now.
That's very very cool indeed.
Yeah, I thought so. Back in the late 70's and early 80's, I would have never imagined something like Facebook, you know. So I did try to search for her when my college started a database, but you'd have had to be in the database, and wanting to be found by others, I think. And it took only 24 hours or so to hear back; that is the amazing part.

Carlos Garcia Huergo
Havana, 1969
Carlos is a Summa Cum Laude graduate from Mathematics. In 1990, his mother suddenly died while he was in Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic) for under graduate studies. During his stay abroad he began to present severe behavior dysfunctions mixed up with aggressive actions toward his school colleagues. His aggressive behavior became really dangerous causing his return to Cuba using a straitjacket and sedated. Once in Cuba, he was admitted in a psychiatric hospital and underwent to treatment with psychoactive drugs and electroshock sessions. He was diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic. From that moment on, he has lived in a state of permanent alienation and he had been confined in psychiatric institutions several times. He has paranoid and distrusted attitudes, remaining in constant state of alert while facing the external world. Sometimes he presents aggressive behavior to well-known people and also unknown ones. Time after his diseases debuted, Carlos began drawing. He likes to use a palette of pastel colors on pieces of recycled cardboards boxes, old covers of vinyl disks, pieces of wooden tables and worn out pages of newspapers and magazines. In his drawings, he harmonizes the reality of the mathematics with personal imageries. He recreates a hybrid world of fellows who are always in his conscience; like angels or devils who swarm in his mind speaking to him. The human figure, frequently placed in foreground, it has the highest place in his representations. He also employs his own numeric alphabet, algorithms and words games as parables about his life, creating drawings from his abstract thoughts.

Plays of the Week – Latvia Horns Set Plays by Wes Kosel
Below are two horns set plays used by Latvia in EuroBasket 2015. Latvia finished 8th at EuroBasket and is looking to win the Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Serbia to compete in the 2016 Olympics in Rio. Latvia will have to beat out Angola, Czech Republic, Japan, Puerto Rico, and Serbia to make it to Brazil.
Horns Curl Repeat
In this horns set, they curl the 4 around the 5 then send 5 to set a down screen for 4. This can lead to hi/lo opportunities as well.
Horns Post Clip
In this horns set, 2 steps out to get the ball on the right wing and 3 sets a back-screen for 5 on the left block. In the video, you will see the great pass that 2 made to get the ball to 5 at the rim.

Washington, Rambo drafted in NFL sixth round
Marc Weiszer @marcweiszer
The wait for defensive end Cornelius Washington and safety Bacarri Rambo from Georgia ended late Saturday afternoon when they were taken in the sixth round of the NFL draft.
The Chicago Bears drafted Washington with pick No. 188 and the Washington Redskins nabbed Rambo soon after at pick No. 191.
"I thought everybody had forgotten about me," Rambo said in a teleconference with media that cover the Redskins. "I was sitting here praying, asking God to give me one team to like me. Then the Redskins called ,and it's just a blessed moment. I thank the organization for believing in me."
Washington and Rambo became and seventh and eight Georgia players selected, tying the school record.
Washington's stellar showing in the NFL combine didn't translate into an early round pick. He was listed as the best available player on ESPN analyst Mel Kiper's list for much of the afternoon.
"I had Cornelius Washington in the second round, probably overrated him a bit based on his computer numbers, which are through the roof-6-4, 265 with 4.5 speed and incredible athletic ability," Kiper said. "Pass rush has improved. He's got a chance with the Bears."
Washington said he was "a little discouraged," to fall to the sixth round.
"Me and my agent (Rich Rosa) both were-still are shocked. I have no idea what was going on. But you know, I've got an opportunity and that's most important thing. You know you turn something that's mildly negative into a positive and it's still a blessing."
Washington, who played both outside linebacker and defensive end at Georgia, said the Bears want him to play end "and I'm very happy with it. I'm going to have the ability to just go and rush and that's the best thing for me so I'm excited."
Rambo, an All-American in 2011, ended his career tied for the Georgia career lead in interceptions with 16, but he was suspended for four games this season for his second violation of Georgia's drug policy.
He was the 17th safety selected.
"It was very hard because I felt like a lot of those guys weren't near the guy I was, but everything happens for a reason. It put a big chip on my shoulder , so I'll just have to go out there and prove it to everybody."
Four Georgia players have been drafted Saturday.
Cornerback Sanders Commings (Kansas City) and receiver Tavarres King (Denver) went in the fifth round.
Linebackers Jarvis Jones (Pittsburgh) and Alec Ogletree (St. Louis) went in the first-round Thursday and nose guard John Jenkins (New Orleans) and safety Shawn Williams (Cincinnati) were taken in the third round on Friday.
Nose guard Kwame Geathers is among Georgia players still available after 12 picks into the seventh and final round.

Underoath Outgrow Their "Christian Band" Label and Find New Faith on 'Erase Me'
Photo: Nick Fancher
By Bradley Zorgdrager
"We had a huge identity crisis," explains Underoath vocalist Spencer Chamberlain, of the rigid rules that led to the band's 2012 breakup. While fans of faith may think the one-time Christian metalcore leaders are deeply confused, the band insist they're happier than ever.
It's a far cry from where Chamberlain spent much of his career, during which members "weren't allowed to have different personalities."
"The worst years of my life, the most miserable years of my life, the years I got treated the worst and was the most alone and made the most mistakes of my life, was when I was a quote-unquote Christian," he says. "It was the hardest, most difficult time of my life, and that's the opposite of what it's supposed to be."
News of the band distancing themselves from the Christian label ain't new, but this is as brazen as they've ever been, referencing the disenchantment in press and, yes, even swearing.
He states it's not an anger thing, some members still identify with the religion, though people's concern with one's use of a curse word is "one of the million problems" with it.
"We could be arguing about so much fucking cooler stuff than whether some guy says a word or not. Like, grow up."
Beyond that, Underoath's lyrics on new album Erase Me aren't far off from the personal poetics they built their career on, though the music also bucks a rule: their previous "that's not Underoath enough" in-studio standard. Take the track "ihateit," for example, which focuses more on calmer crescendos than chaotic calamity, like much of the album.
"At that point, I'm singing about how I was really confused for a long time if I was a drug addict or I just liked using drugs," notes the singer, also revealing he's been off them over a year now, the longest since he started touring. "I was like, 'Dude, this sucks. I'm terrible, just erase me.'"
"There's not one fake thing on this record. It's all stuff that I actually personally lived through, and it about near killed me."

Erase Me comes out April 6 on Fearless Records.

A Brave Step Towards African Integration
Trade Investment	 5154 VIEWS
Tuesday, March 27, 2018 /08:47 AM /FBNQuest Research
Last week brought the signing of the pact establishing the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) in Kigali at an extraordinary summit of the African Union (AU). It appears that 44 of the 55 member states have signed the pact in the first instance but not the two largest economies on the continent (Nigeria and South Africa). We understand that members have six months to ratify the pact, which should allow all governments to read the small print, along with their stakeholders.
Prior to ratification, signatories will be looking for more colour on the pledge that the free trade area will move 90% of tariff lines to zero duty. The lines in question are yet to be identified. The measure is not based upon values or tonnages but on the number of lines, we understand.
The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria is reserving its judgment, and adamant that it does not have a protectionist agenda. As with an Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the EU, which it declined to sign, it wants to be sure that the area serves the interest of its members.
Additionally, it fear a surge of imports from the EU through Morocco, which has signed an EPA and applied for membership of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). This application has not been welcomed with enthusiasm by some community members (including Nigeria).
In Kigali the AU also considered a protocol on the free movement of persons and an African passport, which we understand 27 members signed. The more integration on the menu, the fewer diners at the table.
UNCTAD is said to have estimated that the removal of the import tariffs would boost regional trade by one third and lift Africa's GDP by 1% over time. This looks less exciting when we consider similar broadbrush estimates for the impact of full access to electricity and the internet right across Africa.
It is logical for trade agreements to come before currency unions. This has been the sequence of events in the EU, the East African Community, where the single currency remains a step too far for members, and ECOWAS, where such a project even for a handful of its members has proved a still greater challenge.
The debate post-Kigali seems to overlook the fact that Africa already boasts a currency union with harmonized trade policy. The Franc Zone consists of 15 African states under three separate treaties. We can disagree whether the zone has been a developmental success although we may conclude that results have been mixed since its members have generally supported AfCFTA.
