EagleBank Arena, home of the George Mason Patriots basketball team, is located in Fairfax, Va. in the Washington, D.C. suburbs. The 10,000-seat arena opened in 1985 and has played home to Mason ever since.
George Mason's high point came in 2006 when they made a Cinderella run to the Final Four as an 11-seed, knocking off top seed UConn along the way, but they have struggled to return to anywhere near that form ever since. George Mason was a founding member of the Colonial Athletic Association but moved to the Atlantic 10 in 2013, where they have remained ever since.
EagleBank Arena has a wide selection of food and drinks at various stands scattered around the concourse. Basic items include hot dogs ($6, or $7 with chili and cheese), Polish sausage ($6), chicken tenders ($10), cheeseburgers ($11, or $12 with bacon), and nachos supreme ($8, with salsa cheese, and jalapeños). More unique items include the Giant George Burger, which is topped with cheese, bacon, mozzarella sticks, fries, and bistro sauce, and the Fat George Chicken Sandwich, which is a chicken tender sandwich topped with the same things as the Giant George. Each of these costs $12. There is also a veggie burger available for $10. Snacks include chips ($3), cookies ($4), brownies ($5), pretzels ($6), popcorn ($6), and marshmallow bars ($4). Chick-fil-A, pizza, and ice cream are also available.
Although these prices are expensive, there are a number of combos available which will reduce the cost. The cheeseburger combo meal comes with fries and a fountain beverage for $12, the nacho supreme combo meal comes with the nachos and a soda for $9, and the Family Four Pack comes with four hot dogs, four sodas, and a popcorn tub for $35. These deals can be used to improve value.
Every seat in EagleBank arena is a chairback, in alternating green and gold sections reflecting the school's colors. There is a videoboard above center court which also shows the score and time as well as team fouls and timeouts.
Unfortunately, 10,000 seats is far too large for EagleBank Arena, which rarely comes close to selling out. Some seats in the corners are covered by advertising signs, but there are still many empty seats, especially in the upper rows. This is not a good look for the school and really detracts from the atmosphere.
The good news is that the school makes a good effort to keep fans engaged. There is a pep band called Doc Nix and the Green Machine which is among the best in the country. They bring music and energy to the arena for the whole game. Band director Michael Nickens (aka Doc Nix) is an impressive figure known for his audacious outfits, which often include sunglasses and a scepter. There are also cheerleaders and a dance team who entertain the fans during the breaks. Mason's mascot is known only as The Patriot and is a costumed character who dresses in traditional colonial garb, which is of course colored gold and green.
Ultimately, the team and especially the band do their best to make this a great atmosphere, but it's really hurt by the large size of the arena.
Fairfax is a typical suburban area about 25 miles outside Washington, D.C. There is a shopping center across campus which includes local tavern Brion's Grille as well as several chain places and a movie theatre. If you're willing to drive a few miles, the 29 Diner in the City of Fairfax is a local favorite as well as a team sponsor.
While Fairfax doesn't have the same excitement you'd get in the District, it's still a nice suburb with plenty to do and places to eat before or after the game.
Although Mason fans rarely come close to filling the arena, they can still make the place loud at times. After big plays, the crowd can get quite loud but there is rarely the sustained noise you see at the top arenas in the country. The cavernous nature of the arena does cut down on the sound somewhat, but this isn't really the fans' fault.
Mason does have a student section, but other than the band, they don't seem that into it. This is disappointing as the students are typically among the most passionate fans at any college venue.
EagleBank Arena is located on Mason's main campus just off Braddock Road and about six miles from the Capital Beltway (Interstate 495.) There is ample free parking in the lots surrounding the arena, including handicap parking for those who require it. Keep in mind if you're traveling to a weeknight game, you will probably run into rush hour traffic, which is notoriously bad in this area. Be sure to allow a lot of extra time if that's the case.
Unlike the other arenas in the D.C. area, EagleBank Arena is not easily Metro-accessible. Despite having the school's name in its title, the Vienna-Fairfax/GMU station on the Orange Line is about five miles away from George Mason. If you must go that route, you will need to either take a 15-minute taxi ride from the station or take a shuttle that will let you off in the center of campus, a 10-minute walk from the arena. Under no circumstances should you use the Virginia Square-GMU station despite the name, as it serves Mason's Arlington satellite campus, nowhere near the arena.
Getting out of the parking lot after a game can be tricky due to pedestrians seeming to walk anywhere and everywhere. Traffic can also get backed up getting onto Braddock Road, but this can be partially avoided by heading back towards the center of campus and then exiting onto one of the other side streets.
Tickets range from $15 for seats in the top few rows and some behind the basket to $45 for seats in the front few rows. This is about average for the Atlantic 10. However, tickets are sold through Ticketmaster so expect to pay far more than listed price due to fees. It's always annoying to see seats available for $15 each and then end up paying almost twice that due to outrageous fees. Concessions can also be quite pricey, though there are combos available that allow fans to save money. Parking is free, though, which is nice.
There are free programs available at a table on the concourse that offer extensive detail about Mason basketball.
Doc Nix and the Green Machine deserve an extra star, as well as they, are among the best in the nation.
There is a Final Four banner behind one of the baskets honoring Mason's 2006 miracle run.
One final star for the impressive player introductions featuring spotlights and another spectacular lighting as well as hype music.
Although George Mason rose to prominence after their Final Four run in 2006, over a decade later they have failed to regain much of their former glory. The end result is a 10,000-seat arena that is over half empty most games and a whole lot of empty seats. Although Mason has one of the best pep bands in the country, and the fans who do show up are passionate for the most part, they ought to be doing more to encourage fans to come to games so the place isn't as empty as it is.
The Patriots have built a solid basketball program that the school can be proud of and play good competition in the A-10.

CUPPY'S COFFEE Franchise Press Release – Buyer Beware!
Cuppy's Coffee Franchise Press Release dated June 27, 2016 announces an exciting new franchise opportunity that seems literally too good to be true. Here's why we're afraid the "new" Cuppy's Coffee franchise might be the same old scam we've seen before – only worse.
(UnhappyFranchisee.Com) Has the Cuppy's Coffee Franchise Returned From the Dead to Claim More Victims?
It appears that someone feels that the Survivors of the Cuppy's Franchise Scam haven't suffered enough and it's time to get the old ball rolling again.
It APPEARS (all the facts aren't in yet… so it appears) that a someone named Kenneth B. Kopp has decided to start selling Cuppy's Coffee franchises using the old abandoned Cuppy's Coffee name, logo, sales propaganda, trademarks, photos, videos and more.
Now we don't personally know Ken Kopp so we're going to withhold final judgement… but we suspect he doesn't even operate a single operational Cuppy's Coffee shop, trailer or kiosk.
We suspect that he is using photographs of Cuppy's stores that have long-since closed and videos purporting that the defunct Cuppy's Coffee franchise company is alive and well and under his control.
We have asked repeatedly for clarification on his claims, but so far Kenneth Kopp has refused to provide any specifics about his organization, his staff, or company-owned or franchise locations in existence.
Here's the initial Cuppy's Coffee franchise press release with the most questionable representations bolded and footnoted.
Cuppy's Coffee introduces new gourmet sandwiches along with franchise expansion plans.
Now under new ownership and management 1, Cuppy's Coffee proudly announces an exciting new expanded menu2 including healthy gourmet sandwiches that compliment its delicious, freshly brewed coffees. Affordably priced and always made from the freshest ingredients, Cuppy's Coffee offers a wide variety of coffees, smoothies and edibles sure to please everyone.

Cuppy's Coffee is one of the fastest growing retail coffee and smoothie companies in the United States 5. Every Cuppy's Coffee is independently owned and operated. The company has expansion plans to open 1,500 new stores nationwide 6 over the next five years due to the demand for their excellent products, services, and low cost franchise business opportunity.
The coffee franchise stands out as Cuppy's Coffee takes pride in actively partnering with every franchisee to assure a rapid start up as well as long term success. The company offers a variety of flexible franchise business models to support each franchisee's unique business goals and location.

For more information visit www.CuppysCoffee.com or call Toll Free at (844) 428-7797.
1 The original Cuppy's Coffee franchise company collapsed in 2009. Kenneth Kopp's Cuppy's Coffee Café LLC was incorporated 4/7/16. It's not clear what is "under new management" since the entire company is brand new.
2 We have not been able to identify a single operational store, and Kenneth Kopp has so far refused to say if he has one. What menu is being expanded, and where is it in use?
3 The original company was headquartered in Ft. Walton Beach, FL from 2007-2009. Dale Nabors purchased the struggling company and tried to move it to Muscle Shoals, AL in 2009 just as the company was collapsing. There has been no headquarters, and no Cuppy's chain, for 7 years.
The address given for the new Cuppy's Coffee "headquarters" is actually a Regus shared office suite that offers virtual offices starting at $3.44 per day.
4 We can find no reference to a coffee industry executive names Dia Matheos. There is a Diamanto Matheos in Greenville, SC. No reference anywhere to a VP of Cuppy's.
9 Anyone considering a Cuppy's Coffee franchise should ask for proof of each of these and all other claims. If any of these representations are not true, grab your checkbook and run.

Tsuru Mawere (born 15 September, 1942) is a Rwizikuran soldier, politician, and the first Mutungamiri of Rwizikuru, serving since 7 April, 2020, when he defeated rival candidate Rambwa Zvinavashe in the National Assembly.
Born to peasant farmers, he joined the Royal Rwizikuran Armed Forces in 1961, fighting in the Mabifian-Rwizikuran War, the Garamburan War of Independence, and the Nativity War, and rising to the rank of brigadier general. In 1981, he participated in a coup d'etat attempt against the reigning monarch of Rwizikuru at the time, Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe. After fleeing the country in its aftermath, he joined Muchazvireva Ngonidzashe, and in 1983 joined the Rwizikuran government-in-exile.
In exile, he would serve as an influential figure within the government-in-exile, serving as the deputy to Muchazvireva Ngonidzashe from 1988 to 1993, before becoming the head of the government-in-exile, serving from 1993 until 2003. He would then serve as deputy to Muchazvireva until 2006, when he was removed from the position in favour of Mweya Ngonidzashe. However, in the 2010s, he began to fall out with Muchazvireva Ngonidzashe, culminating in 2018 when after Muchazvireva's son, Takunda Ngonidzashe was named deputy despite Tsuru's own expectations, he retired from the government-in-exile, officially on account of old age.
After Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe abdicated to his son, Munashe Ngonidzashe, in September 2019, Tsuru Mawere was pardoned that November, and thus was allowed to return to Rwizikuru. Upon his return, Tsuru declared his intention to run for the reconstituted Rwizikuran national assembly for his home district of Sangoguru kuchamhembe, and was elected on 3 April, 2020. He was sworn in on 6 April, 2020, and was elected the following day to serve as the first Mutungamiri, and the first elected head of government since President Izibongo Ngonidzashe.

Tsuru Zvinodaishe Mawere was born in Mutupo, the district seat of North Sangoguru (present-day Sangoguru kuchamhembe) in the Estmerish colony of Riziland, as the eldest son of Tomtenda Mawere and Fudzayi Mawere, and was baptized as Vincent Mawere. As farmers, he grew up receiving little education, due to both the remoteness of Mutupo from the rest of the colony, and had to assist his parents at the farm. However, he disliked being a farmer, and felt "constricted" in his ability to improve himself. However, he did learn to read and write in the weRwizi language, and learnt some arithmetic, in order to be "useful to the farm."
In 1963, he enlisted to join the Rwizikuran Army, as he believed that it was the only way that he would be able to leave the farm in Mutupo, and get a better life. As a private, he was sent to Port Fitzhubert, where his superiors noted his high potential, especially given his physical strength, his willingness to obey orders, and his willingness to learn.
Early military career
As his superiors saw potential in Tsuru Mawere to be an officer, he was sent to the military academy in Port Fitzhubert in order to teach him the skills needed for him to become an effective officer. In addition to learning military tactics and strategies, Mawere also learnt skills that he "should have been taught in school but never were." By 1965, he was officially commissioned as a lieutenant, and was deployed to Port Vaugeois (present-day Port Tsalar, Mabifia).
During this period, he commanded platoons to help root out separatist forces in Yekumavirira, especially the Yekumavirira Liberation Movement, which at that point sought to separate Yekumavirira from the rest of Rwizikuru, and either establish an independent state, or revert to Mabifian rule. Mawere was an effective commander, although in 1967, he was wounded, and had to recuperate for several weeks in hospital.
When the Mabifian-Rwizikuran War began in October 1968, Lieutenant Mawere found himself organising a defence of Yekumavirira against the invading Mabifian forces, in addition to the forces already raised by the Yekumavirira Liberation Movement. While the Rwizikuran defenders were caught off-guard by the initial attacks, on 11 October, when Mambo Izibongo Ngonidzashe finally ordered the response, Tsuru Mawere took part in some of the early battles which seemed to have given Rwizikuru an initial advantage.
However, in December, with Mabifia receiving support from Zorasan, Tsuru Mawere found himself being forced to retreat to Port Vaugeois (present-day Port Tsalar, Mabifia), in order to protect the city from a Mabifian attack. When the Battle of Port Vaugeois began on 2 March, 1969, Tsuru Mawere mounted resistance against the Mabifian forces. However, despite the Rwizikuran's familiarity with the urban environment at Port Vaugeois, as Zorasan and Mabifia held air superiority, in part due to Izibongo Ngonidzashe's reluctance to deploy the Royal Rwizikuran Air Force, they were able to undermine the Rwizikuran defences.
On 8 March, 1969, Tsuru Mawere was severely wounded by a Mabifian soldier, and was put out of action, as he was forced to be evacuated to Port Graham. While his condition was serious, by the end of the month, he recovered enough to be discharged from the hospital, and return to the Royal Rwizikuran Army. By that point, the Mabifian-Rwizikuran War ended, with Yekumavirira split along the Purple Line, as per the Treaty of Snarksburgh. However, due to his bravery and valor, he was given several honours, and was promoted to captain.
Garamburan War of Independence and aftermath
Thus, Captain Tsuru Mawere was deployed to East Riziland, which at that point was trying to secede from Rwizikuru as the independent state of Garambura. As a commander of a company of soldiers, Mawere found himself in Ntawha, which was still under Rwizikuran control. However, despite the increase of availability of soldiers among the Royal Rwizikuran Armed Forces as a result of the end of the Mabifian-Rwizikuran War, many of the soldiers he commanded were significantly demoralized, leaving them easy pickings for both the East Riziland Liberation Front and the fledgling Garamburan Armed Forces.
On 19 April, he experienced the Battle of Ntawha, which was a significant defeat for the Rwizikuran army, forcing them to retreat westwards into Rwizikuru. As the Garamburans advanced further into the district of Chekumabvazuva, the Rwizikurans were forced to sign the Treaty of Bazadavo which de-facto recognised Garamburan independence from Rwizikuru.
After the end of the Garamburan War of Independence, due to Tsuru Mawere's skills and efforts, he was again promoted, this time to the position of Major. Mawere became an instructor at the military academy in Port Fitzhubert in order to help transmit his skills to new recruits and soldiers. During this time, Mawere met his wife, Chiramwiwa Muzanenhamo, and married her in 1971. He also continued his studies at the military academy, in order to learn more strategies and tactics to help him win the next war.
By early 1974, Tsuru Mawere rose to the rank of Colonel, placing him in command of the 5th Regiment. As another war with Garambura loomed, Mawere spent several months preparing the 5th Regiment for an invasion of Garambura.
On 25 December, 1974, when Rwizikuru invaded Garambura and began the Nativity War, Colonel Tsuru Mawere led the 5th Regiment towards the border, with the intention of capturing Ntawha.
stalemate follows, he leads attempted breakthroughs, by end of war, he rises to Brigadier General
Late military career
Following the end of the Nativity War in 1976, Brigadier General Tsuru Mawere became disillusioned with the Rwizikuran government, especially its reigning monarch, Izibongo Ngonidzashe, who he felt to be the most responsible for Rwizikuru's defeat in the Mabifian-Rwizikuran War, the Garamburan War of Independence, and the Nativity War. Thus, despite his official loyalty to the Rwizikuran monarchy, he began to study democratic thinkers, and reading up on the Rwizikuran constitution that was in use prior to the adoption of the Basic Law in 1964.
However, fearing that he might be purged by Izibongo Ngonidzashe, he kept quiet, later saying that "if the option is to hide your views, or express them publicly, hide them until the time is right: that will ensure that you have a chance to get your views to the world." During this period, he was stationed across the country.
After the death of Izibongo Ngonidzashe in 1979, and the ascension of his son, Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe, Tsuru Mawere hoped that Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe might lead the country in a more democratic direction, even if it meant the preservation of the constitutional monarchy. However, as time passed, it appeared that Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe was maintaining his father's policies, with only "small token reforms" to appease the people. At that point in time, he made contact with Fred Ngonidzashe, who had recently been appointed his immediate superior, and began to conspire a plot to overthrow Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe, and install Fred Ngonidzashe as monarch.
Despite this common goal to remove Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe, Fred Ngonidzashe sought to maintain Izibongo Ngonidzashe's policies, while Tsuru Mawere sought to establish a constitutional monarchy, with Fred Ngonidzashe to serve as monarch. However, Mawere knew that as it seemed unlikely Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe would implement any reforms of Rwizikuru's policies, he had little choice but to agree with Mawere's plans.
Thus, throughout 1981, they prepared for a coup d'etat against Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe. On 22 December, 1981, they launched a coup attempt against the reigning monarch. However, Fred Ngonidzashe's eldest son, Chenjerai Ngonidzashe informed the King of the coup attempt, leading to Fred's arrest and subsequent execution for high treason. However, Fred Ngonidzashe's younger brother, Muchazvireva Ngonidzashe, and Tsuru Mawere fled to Caldia, where they were granted asylum in January 1982.
In response to Mawere's betrayal, he was dishonourably discharged in absentia from the Royal Rwizikuran Armed Forces, and he was also sentenced to death in absentia.
Life in exile
First years in Caldia
After arriving in Spálgleann with his family, he remained in close contact with Muchazvireva Ngonidzashe, who shared more in common concerning the democratisation and economic reform of Rwizikuru than Fred Ngonidzashe. Although he initially found life in Caldia challenging, given the lack of fluency he had in any language besides his native weRwizi and some fragmentary Gaullican, he took the opportunity to learn the Caldish language, as well as improve his knowledge of Gaullican.
In February 1983, when the Rwizikuran government-in-exile was established, Tsuru Mawere joined the government-in-exile, thereby kick-starting his political career. He advocated for the democratisation and economic liberalisation of Rwizikuru, and criticised the "autocratic regime" in existence at that point in time. During the first few years of the government-in-exile, Tsuru Mawere played a behind-the-scenes role in helping enlist people to work for the government-in-exile, and to promote its activities within Caldia, as well as Estmere.
By 1988, Tsuru Mawere began playing a greater role within the government-in-exile, with Muchazvireva Ngonidzashe designating him Deputy Mutungamiri, making him the second-in-line in the event Muchazvireva died before his term expired. Thus, during this period, Tsuru Mawere became increasingly vocal, praising Rwizikuru's economic reforms, but condemned its corruption: thus, he praised the 1988 agreement between Rwizikuru and the Global Institute of Fiscal Affairs to crack down on corruption as a "starting point" to end political corruption.
In 1993, Muchazvireva Ngonidzashe's two term limit was up, and as per the internal rules of the Rwizikuran government-in-exile, he was ineligible to serve a third consecutive term. Thus, Tsuru Mawere was confirmed to be the leader of the Rwizikuran government-in-exile with a "unanimous decision."
As Mutungamiri of the Rwizikuran government-in-exile, Tsuru Mawere took advantage of the fledgling world wide web to help spread the message of the Rwizikuran government-in-exile, particularly as he felt that more people will be using it in the "years to come." Thus, in 1994, he established a website for the government-in-exile, using the website to help promote the activities of the Rwizikuran government-in-exile, and criticise the Rwizikuran monarchy.
In addition, during his tenure as Mutungamiri of the Rwizikuran government-in-exile, he produced a "proposed constitution" in 1996, which sought to preserve the Mambo as a figurehead, much like the constitutional monarchies that were existent in Eldmark and Werania, and to have the draft constitution "enshrine multiparty democracy" by restoring the National Assembly of Rwizikuru.
In 1998, he was confirmed to serve for a second term as Mutungamiri of the government-in-exile. During his second term, Tsuru Mawere sought to continue promoting the government-in-exile as a "government-in-waiting," and to this end sought to foster ties between it and foreign states, in order to put pressure on Rwizikuru to democratise, so that "there will no longer be a need for the government-in-exile."
Tsuru Meware speaking, 2015
By 2003, as Tsuru Mawere reached his own maximum number of terms, he was succeeded by his own Deputy Mutungamiri, and his own predecessor, Muchazvireva Ngonidzashe, as Mutungamiri of the Rwizikuran government-in-exile, with Mawere returning to the position of Deputy Mutungamiri.
Despite his reduced role within the government-in-exile, Mawere continued his advocacy of Rwizikuran democratisation, the restoration of the National Assembly, and the implementation of the 1996 proposed constitution by the reigning monarch.
In 2006, when Mweya Ngonidzashe joined the government-in-exile, Tsuru Mawere was dismissed as Deputy Mutungamiri, to make room for Mweya Ngonidzashe, as Mweya Ngonidzashe was seen as a "more valuable person" for the position, particularly as Mweya Ngonidzashe exposed contemporary corruption in Rwizikuru, especially among the reigning monarch, Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe. However, Tsuru Mawere continued playing an active role in the government-in-exile, by promoting the Rwizikuran government-in-exile, and criticising the Rwizikuran government.
By 2008, Muchazvireva Ngonidzashe stepped aside in favour of Mweya Ngonidzashe, with Muchazvireva becoming Deputy Mutungamiri, which was seen as an apparent snub to Tsuru Mawere. Despite this, Tsuru Mawere continued his work in the government-in-exile, even though he believed that "it is impossible that my children, let alone I, will ever see a democratic Rwizikuru in our lifetimes," and began reducing his profile, on account of his age.
However, after Mweya Ngonidzashe died in 2017, and Muchazvireva Ngonidzashe became the Mutungamiri, Tsuru Mawere was passed over in favour of Muchazvireva's son, Takunda Ngonidzashe, both on account of Mawere's old age, and as it was believed that it was now essential for Takunda Ngonidzashe to "learn how to run the government-in-exile."
This decision was seen as a betrayal of the "very principles that the government-in-exile was established" by Mawere, and in February 2018, following Muchazvireva's confirmation to serve as Mutungamiri, Tsuru Mawere retired from the government-in-exile, officially on account of old age, although he would later admit that his retirement from the government-in-exile was influenced by the "betrayal by Muchazvireva Ngonidzashe against the very principles upon which he and I agreed with when we joined the putsch."
Return and election campaign
Following the abdication of Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe and his succession by his son, Munashe Ngonidzashe, Munashe officially pardoned Tsuru Mawere on 5 November, 2019, as well as altered Mawere's discharge from a dishonourable discharge to a general discharge.
Immediately after his pardon, Tsuru Mawere and his wife left Spálgleann for his hometown of Mutupo, with the intention of running for a seat in the National Assembly once "a new constitution has been promulgated."
After the new constitution was promulgated, Tsuru Mawere declared his candidacy for the constituency of Sangoguru kuchamhembe in the reconstituted National Assembly, facing opposition from Irikidzayi Ullyet, who participated in the drafting of the 2020 Rwizikuran constitution, and Shumba Towungana. When the writ was dropped by Munashe Ngonidzashe, Tsuru Mawere faced an uphill battle, as it appeared as though Ullyet would win the seat, given Mawere's exile in Caldia and his "betrayal" by participating in the putsch against Kupakwashe Ngonidzashe.
To this end, Tsuru Mawere's campaign emphasised both his military career, expressed remorse for participating in the putsch, and emphasised his commitment to the democratisation of Rwizikuru. He pledged to connect Sangoguru kuchamhembe to the "western bank" of Rwizikuru, which would reduce congestion in the Port Fitzhubert metropolitan area, while improving national security.
Over the next three months, Mawere gained an edge over his rivals: thus, on 3 April, Tsuru Mawere was elected as Member of the National Assembly with 54% of the vote, to Ullyet's 40% of the vote.
Election as Mutungamiri
After being sworn in on 6 April, 2020, Tsuru Mawere quickly became a contender for becoming the first Mutungamiri of Rwizikuru, due to the combination of his past military experience, and his tireless advocacy for Rwizikuru's economic liberalisation and democratisation while in exile. Thus, when it came time to elect the Mutungamiri, while in the first round, he did not get the most votes, he managed to eliminate Gamuchirai Mhlanga and Kudzoka Muzorewa. In the second round, Mhlanga and his supporters backed Rambwa Zvinavashe, while Kudzoka and his supporters backed Tsuru Mawere, allowing him to triumph over Rambwa Zvinavashe, 55-45.
As such, he was sworn in on 7 April, 2020, as the first Mutungamiri of Rwizikuru. The cabinet was elected, with Nkwenyane Remakece being elected by the National Assembly to serve as Deputy Mutungamiri of Rwizikuru.
In 1971, Tsuru Mawere met his wife, Chiramwiwa Muzanenhamo, and married her later that year. Together, they have two sons, Ndinevimb Mawere, born in 1972, and Tendeka Mawere, born in 1977, as well as three daughters: Masamba Ó Muraíle, born in 1974, Ndanatsei Ngonidzashe, born in 1980, and Saoirse Ó Báire, born in 1984. As of 2020, he has seven grandchildren, and remains close to "all of his children and grandchildren."
He speaks weRwizi as a native language, is fluent in Gaullican and Caldish, and can comfortably carry a conversation in Estmerish.
He was baptised as a Low Estmerian at birth, and has said that the faith has been "my rock whenever I face tribulations." He attends services on a regular basis, but believes that there should be a separation between church and state.
Tsuru Mawere supports neoliberalism, believing that it "as demonstrated in Euclea and the Asterias, it provides an opportunity for people to rise high," and credits the economic growth from the 1980s until 2005 "to the neoliberal policies," saying that Bahia would greatly benefit from the implementation of neoliberalism.
He is a social conservative, believing that "the traditional Bahian family should be maintained and preserved at all costs," and supports loyalty to the country. However, he is a staunch supporter of democratisation, as he believes that if the "ordinary people" are allowed to participate in government, they would be able to help improve the country.

Florida House Republicans hint at special session on energy rebates
Fri, Sep 24, 2010
A windmill and billboard promoting solar energy were displayed outside the Capitol earlier this year on Earth Day.
House Republican leaders on Thursday said a special session could be held in November — possibly during the Legislature's organizational session — to approve using federal economic stimulus money for state energy rebate programs.
Gov. Charlie Crist got into a flap with House and Senate leaders last week when he said in
">a letter he was disappointed that the Legislative Budget Commission on Sept. 14 did not authorize spending $51 million in federal stimulus dollars on energy rebates. But Republican legislative leaders said they didn't have legal authority to approve the spending because there were no budget appropriations associated with the rebate programs.
On Thursday, the House Majority Office sent a memo to reporters saying that the Legislature could take up the issue in November or during the 2011 regular session.
Crist had requested $13.9 million for an expired solar rebate program and $17.5 million towards heating and air-conditioning system upgrades as part of a rebate program he announced last month. The solar program, which paid up to $20,000 towards half the cost for solar panels on homes, ended in June with a backlog of at least $50 million after the program ran out of money in June 2009. The state spent $14.4 million federal stimulus dollars in 2009 to pay for rebates.
House Speaker Larry Cretul, R-Ocala, sent Crist a letter saying the governor had announced the $1,500 HVAC program in August knowing that funding had not been approved. He also said the Florida Energy and Climate Commission had been "duping" residents into believing they would receive rebates when money was not available. The governor's office responded that some money was available.
The House Majority Office memo Thursday said Crist had promised money he did not have the legal authority to spend. "This is not an issue of whether or not legislators want to refund Floridians for these rebates that the governor prematurely promised them," the memo said. "The issue is that members of the LBC (Legislative Budget Commission) cannot disregard state law and allow the governor to hand out federal dollars to Floridians in the manner he has requested."
Sterling Ivey, a Crist spokesman, said in response that the governor's office does not believe a special session or full action by the Legislature is needed. The governor's office has said a spending authorization would be legal because the requests are for operating expenses, not a fixed capital expense as the Legislature's Republican leadership claims.
Bruce Kershner, executive director of the Florida Solar Energy Industries Association, said he's concerned that the state may face a deadline for spending the federal stimulus dollars before a special session could be held in November. "We have long advocated that we believe those (solar) rebates should be paid," he said.
Rep. Adam Fetterman, D-Port St. Lucie, sent a letter to Crist and Cretul last Thursday saying that he had received numerous complaints from residents about the solar rebate program and he asked the two leaders to set aside their differences and "do what is right for the people of Florida."

How in the heck is that request an "operating expense?" Nice try, but the better argument is that the Legislature always ignores the law, so why not this time.

Each week brings task lists, emails, files, and new projects. How much of that is different from the job you have done? Odds are, not much. A number of our tasks are variations on something.
Do not reinvent the wheel each time you start something new. Instead, use templates–standardized files as starting point for work. Once you save another version of the template add, eliminate, or change any info for that record that is exceptional, and you'll have the job.
Programs work everywhere: in word processors, spreadsheets, project management programs, survey platforms, and also email. Here's how to use templates and the way to automatically create documents from a template–so you can get your tasks faster.
Templates take the time to build, and it's easy to wonder if they're worth the investment. The short answer: absolutely. Editing a template takes far less time than formatting some thing. It's the distinction between copying and pasting some text, or retyping it.
That's not the only advantage: Using a template means you are less inclined to leave out key information, also. For instance, if you need to send freelance authors a contributor arrangement, modifying a standard contract template (instead of writing a new contract every time) guarantees you won't leave out the crucial clause regarding owning the content as soon as you've paid for it.
Templates additionally guarantee consistency. You send customers or investors regular project updates. With a template, you understand the update will have the formatting, design, and structure.
Imagine you are creating a template of your own resume. You'd want to list details about your responsibilities and achievements, and that means you'll have.
You can always delete less-important notes on, but you might forget it in the last edition if it's not from the template.
Some applications will automatically fill in these factors for you (more on this in a little ). But should you need to fill in the information on your own, add some text that is simple and obvious to look for so it is possible to locate.

General George Casey: Change needs to come to Iran
Excerpts from remarks by retired General George Casey, former chief of staff of U.S. Army
In my early days in Iraq it didn't take me long to figure out that the United States and Iran had diametrically opposed objectives. We were seeking to empower a democratically elected Iraqi government that respected the rights of all ethnic and sectarian members of Iraqi society. Iran didn't want a country like that on its borders. They bought political power by giving money to Iraqi politicians and political parties. They bought public support by giving economic aid, particularly in the south of the country, and they continuously fomented sectarian violence.
It is Iran's support for training and equipping the Shia militia in Iraq that allowed the level of sectarian violence to be sustained through 2006 and 2007 and it continues into today. Because of that equipping and training, Iran is also directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of coalition forces and thousands of Iraqis.
When we captured six Quds force operatives in a command center, on the wall was a large map of Baghdad. The neighborhoods were color-coded by their sectarian population. And on the map were large arrows that showed how the Iranians planned to force Sunni populations out of these neighborhoods in Baghdad.
Any regime that uses terror to accomplish its political objectives is a threat not only to its own population, but also to the international community. Change needs to come to Iran.
Ambassador Mitchell Reiss
Robert G. Joseph: Iranian people eager for freedom


To look at me today, from the outside, I am a happy, healthy, just turned 50 year old woman, married to a wonderful man, living in upstate New York with our three dogs.
However, what most people don't know about me is that I spent over two decades battling a severe eating disorder, depression, and suffering from low self-esteem and a distorted body image. I have been a size 16, and I have also been a size 00. My desire to be thin consumed every area of my life. Although I claimed that God was first in my life, I had become a slave to food and the "almighty" scale. Despite my declining health and the inability to enjoy life, I was too afraid to step out in faith and make a change.
My health suffered and my body began to deteriorate. Due to early onset osteopenia, my doctor prescribed weight bearing exercise and supplements to help to regain strength and to slow bone loss. Little did I know that starting a workout program called Insanity and drinking a dense nutrition shake (Shakeology) would be the beginning of a new lifestyle that would unveil God's purpose for my life . I remember that the first few days of the workout, I was so sore, I could barely move. But I turned it all over to Him, and let him propel me forward. My 60 day results were not just toning and strength; I finally had energy and the ability to embrace life and live again! My healing and transformation took several years, and I am excited to share that I have recovered from my food addiction and God is using me to help others and grow His kingdom!
I truly believe that God works through our circumstances to mold us into the person He created us to be. But we have to take the first step to make it happen. And I don't believe that you are reading this now by coincidence.
If you are ready to step out in faith, and change your life for the better, I would love to take the journey with you. You can contact me at coach@denisemarcello.com and make me your free coach here.

De Tourschool is een serie golftoernooien, die samen ook wel de Qualifying School wordt genoemd, waarbij golfers proberen een spelerskaart te bemachtigen voor de European Challenge Tour of de Europese PGA Tour van het jaar daarna of hun categorie daarin te verbeteren. De Qualifying School wordt meestal kortweg de Tourschool genoemd, en in het Engels ook wel de Q School. Voor de Europese Senior Tour wordt een aparte Senior Tourschool georganiseerd

Kwalificatie
Om aan de finale te kunnen deelnemen, worden vooraf een aantal kwalificatietoernooien georganiseerd. Er zijn spelers die direct door mogen naar Ronde 2 (PQ2 of Stage 2) of de finale (Finals of Final Stage) vanwege eerdere prestaties. In 2011 hebben zich bijna 800 spelers voor Stage 1 van de Tourschool aangemeld.

Stage 1
De eerste kwalificatieronde (First Stage of Stage 1) wordt in verschillende landen gespeeld. Ieder toernooi bestaat uit vier rondes van 18 holes. Het schema is als volgt:

Ongeveer 25% van de 781 spelers van Stage 1 gaan door naar Stage 2, het precieze aantal wordt tijdens het toernooi bekendgemaakt. Spelers kunnen, als ze vroeg genoeg inschrijven, zelf kiezen op welke baan ze willen spelen. Ze mogen ook meer dan één keer de Stage 1 spelen.
 Groep A
 Op Ebreichsdorf doen 91 spelers mee, w.o. de gebroeders Jean en Pierre Relecom uit België. Na ronde 1 stond de Deen Daniel Slott Mogensen aan de leiding met −8. De tweede ronde werd afgebroken omdat het te donker werd, en werd donderdag afgespeeld. Slott Mogensen bleef aan de leiding, hij maakte 69 voor een totaal van −11 en deelde de eerste plaats met de Finse amateur Miro Veijalainen. Pierre Relecom eindigde met +2 op de 66ste plaats en startte donderdag de derde ronde pas na 3 uur. Ook toen werd het vroeg donker en konden veel spelers ronde 3 niet afmaken.  De cut was par. Uiteindelijk bleek dat Pierre level par stond en dus door mocht naar ronde 4 en Jean een totaal van +4 had.

Op El Valle staat Joakim Lagergren met −8 alleen aan de leiding, Floris de Vries staat daar op de 2de plaats. Op La Manga wordt de leiding gedeeld door Allan Versfeld en Graeme A Clark, zij staan op −7.
 Ronde 2

Clodomiro Carranza en Byeong-Hun An hebben vanochtend −5 gemaakt en werden clubhouse leader op La Manga en Las Colinas. Later maakte Benn Barham ook −5 op Las Colinas en ging daarmee aan de leiding. Tweede werd Tim Sluiter die een ronde van −6 binnenbracht.Jason Levermore maakte op Ballena zelfs −7, hetgeen hem naar de 2de plaats bracht, achter Sam Hutsby. Reinier Saxton steeg op La Manga naar de 10de plaats, Andrea Perrino en Graeme A. Clark delen daar de eerste plaats op −11.

 Ronde 3

De 19-jarige Argentijn Emiliano Grillo maakte een ronde van −10 en ging op Bellana daarmee aan de leiding. Taco Remkes maakte ook een goede score en bleef in de top-10. Op Las Colinas werd Barham ingehaald door Ben Evans. die op −11 kwam. Wil Besseling maakte een goede ronde van  −4 en Tim Sluiter zelfs van −5 voor een totaal van −13, waarmee hij ruimschoots aan de leiding ging. Op El Valle verbeterde Joakim Lagergren het baanrecord met een ronde van 63.
Reinier Saxton speelde zeer stabiel, en staat met rondes van −2,-3 en −3 op een gedeeld 7de plaats.
 Ronde 4
Vijf Nederlanders hebben zich gekwalificeerd voor de Finals, de Belgen hebben de kwalificatie gemist. Tim Sluiter heeft op Las Colinas gewonnen, Wil Besseling en Floris de Vries eindigden in de top-10, Taco Remkes werd 11de. Zij hebben zich opgegeven voor de Finals. Jonas Saxton werd gedeeld 17de en moest een play-off voor  de 17de-20ste plaats spelen met zes andere spelers. Er moesten dus drie spelers afvallen, hij verloor zijn plaats op de derde extra hole en is nu eerste reserve. Hij heeft via zijn resultaten op de EPD Tour al een spelerskaart voor de Challenge Tour. Een dag later bleek iemand zich te hebben teruggetrokken, dus nu mag Saxton toch proberen een tourkaart voor de Europese Tour te halen.

 Website Europese Tour: spelers van de Finals

Finale

De finale (Finals) wordt van 10-15 december op de PGA Golf de Catalunya in Girona gespeeld. Er worden zes rondes van 18 holes gespeeld, de top-30 worden in categorie 11 van de Europese Tour geplaatst. De anderen komen in categorie 14 en krijgen in 2012 veel minder speelkansen. Er doen zes Nederlanders mee, Maarten Lafeber en de vijf die zich door Stage 2 kwalificeerden. Er doen geen Belgen mee.

De spelers die vrijgesteld zijn zijn soms spelers die wel hun kaart hebben behouden maar via een goed resultaat in de Finals proberen zich te kwalificeren voor een betere categorie zodat ze volgend jaar meer speelkansen hebben.

 Ronde 1
Wil Besseling, Maarten Lafeber, Taco Remkes en Jonas Saxton speelden ronde 1  op de Stadium Course, Tim Sluiter en Floris de Vries speelden op de Tour Course. Sluiter begon met een uitstekende ronde van −7, en stond aan de leiding totdat Sam Hutsby met −8 binnenkwam. Lafeber had een goede start met −3 en Saxton en de Vries kunnen tevreden zijn. Op de Stadium Course was de beste ronde −4.
 Ronde 2

Wil Besseling was een van de vier spelers die deze ronde in −7 speelde. Hij klom daardoor honderd plaatsen in het klassement. Lafeber eb Saxton speelden ook goed onder par.Sam Hutsby bleef aan de leiding met −13, op de 2de plaats kwam Andy Sullivan met −11; de 3de plaats wordt gedeeld door David McKenzie en Peter Gustafsson op −9.
 Ronde 3
De startlijst zijn opnieuw ingedeeld zodat de 78 spelers met de laagste scores de derde ronde op de Tour Course spelen. Sluiter speelde met Alfredo García Heredia en Thomas Norret, die Sluiter's toernooirecord verbeterde, hij maakte −8 en steeg naar de derde plaats. Jonas Saxton had ook een goede ronde en steeg naar de 5de plaats.
 Ronde 4
Na ronde 4 is er een cut. De beste 70 spelers en ties mogen daarna ronde 5 en 6 spelen. Het leek erop dat de spelers met een totaalscore van −3 en beter de cut zouden gaan halen totdat de allerlaatste partij binnenkwam waarin HP Bacher met twee birdies geëindigd was en naar −5 was gegaan. De cut werd −4, hij was nog nooit op de Tourschool zo laag geweest.

Hutsby, Sullivan en Gustafsson spelen ronde 3 en 4 in dezelfde partij. Hutsby en Sullivan bleven gelijk op gaan, na zes holes hadden beiden drie birdies en een bogey gemaakt, terwijl Gustafsson alleen twee bogeys maakte. Daarna maakte Sullivan twee bogeys, zodat Hutsby na negen holes drie slagen voor stond. Dit werd ten slotte een voorsprong van twee slagen, en Sullivan bleef op de 2de plaats. De derde plaats werd bezet door Branden Grace en Victor Riu. Gustafsson zakte naar de 15de plaats.

Lafeber en Sluiter maakten −2 en stegen een paar plaatsen. Besseling maakte par en verloor een paar plaatsen. Remkes heeft −5 gemaakt en Saxton +6, ze eindigden samen op de 50ste plaats. Voor Floris de Vries is het toernooi afgelopen. De cut werd −4 en precies 70 spelers mogen door.

Het waren vier dagen met mooi weer en het niveau was hoog. De topspelers zitten erg dicht bij elkaar, van de 92 spelers die onder par staan hebben tien spelers een score tussen de −12 en −16 over deze vier rondes gemaakt.

 Ronde 5

Hutsby is van zijn eerste plaats gevallen door drie bogeys in de eerste vier holes te maken. Vanaf hole 11 maakte hij nog enkele birdies zidat hij toch nog op de 3de plaats eindigde. Bernd Ritthammer en David Dixon namen zijn eerste plaats over. Dixon maakte zeven birdies en twee bogeys, Ritthammer zes birdies, een eagle maar ook drie bogeys en zo eindigden ze op −18 en −17. Reinier Saxton heeft een mooie ronde van −6 gemaakt en staat met Lafeber in de top-15.
 Ronde 6
De laatste partij bestaat uit Dixon, Ritthammer en Hutsby. Dixon begon meteen met twee birdies en ging naar −20, maar een dubbelbogey op hole 9 bracht hem weer terug naar −18. Hutsby maakte op hole 3, 7 en 8 een birdie en kwam op −19 maar een bogey op hole 9 zette hem ook weer op −18. Ritthammer maakte twee bogeys en raakte de aansluiting kwijt. Ondertussen had Richard Bland de eerste negen holes in −2 gespeeld zodat hij op −17 stond.Tegen het einde van de middag stonden Hutsby en Dixon op −18 en daar hadden Jordi García en Steven O'Hara zich bijgevoegd. Dixon en Hutsby moesten nog vijf holes spelen. Beiden maakten een eagle op hole 15 en gingen naar −20.

Taco Remkes  startte op hole 10 en maakte drie birdies in de eerste zes holes, waarna vier van de vijf Nederlanders in de top-30 stonden. Alleen Wil Besseling, die toen negen holes gespeeld had, had nog een slag te veel om daar ook bij te horen. Hij maakte vervolgens birdies op 12 en 13 en een bogey op 15 waarna hij op een gedeelde 29ste plaats stond met nog drie holes te gaan.
Tim Sluiter maakte op hole 7 een dubbelbogey maar herstelde zich goed door op de volgende vier holes drie birdies te maken.  Daarna maakte hij nog drie bogeys zodat hij met een totaalscore van −7 eindigde, net als Maarten Lafeber, die zijn ronde met drie bogey's eindigde.

De beste dagronde was van Gary Orr, die met Tim Sluiter op de 288ste plaats begon en door zijn score van −7 naar de 6de plaats steeg.

 Succes
Wil Besseling en Reinier Saxton eindigden met −8 op de 24ste plaats en zijn van een Tourkaart verzekerd. Ook alle spelers die −7 hadden en de 30ste plaats deelden, kregen een Tourkaart, er werd geen play-off gespeeld. Dus ook Maarten Lafeber, Taco Remkes en Tim Sluiter spelen volgend jaar op de Europese Tour. Proficiat.

Tan also look at the idea of belonging, and when the lost thing finds a place where it doesn't really belong but is happy, it is questioning the obsession we as humans have of belonging.

State lab officials seek uptick in COVID-19 samples, testing for omicron variant
By Henry Graff
Published: Dec. 2, 2021 at 2:54 PM EST|Updated: Dec. 2, 2021 at 4:51 PM EST
RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - The omicron variant has health officials at the state lab in Richmond very busy. While it's not been detected in Virginia at this point, officials at the state lab are working to make sure if omicron is here, they know about it.
"This is important because as we know what we're dealing with now. When we see the emergence of a new variant, oftentimes, we don't know a whole lot about it. So we want to quickly determine if we have a variant like omicron in our community," said Dr. Denise Toney, director of the division of consolidated laboratory services.
Technicians spend hours carefully processing COVID-19 samples inside the state lab, mainly from community testing events.
"We're figuring out every single base pair, every single piece of that DNA puzzle," said Mary Toothman, sequencing and bioinformatics manager.
They're trying to figure out which variants are circulating around the state, from pipetting to sequencing.
"We want to learn as much as we can about these variants. It's important to know how they respond to the vaccine. It's important to know how they respond to re-infections, and all this information allows us to make better public health decisions," said Dr. Toney.
State lab officials say the omicron variant has up to 30 mutations, which scientists look out for. The director says they've now asked hospitals to provide positive samples to better screen for this new variant.
"We determine the actual nucleic acid structure of the virus, and by doing that, we can look for changes in the virus that are called mutations, and those mutations are what allow us to define and differentiate the different viruses," said Dr. Toney.
Federal stimulus money is helping the lab too. The director says they've been able to invest in sophisticated equipment to test more samples. Right now, they are testing between 500 and 800 samples a day.
"This allows us to quickly triage samples and get them tested as quickly as possible so public health will have the data they need to make decisions," said Toney.
Testing was down last week, but it was a holiday week. The state is seeing that number turn around as scientists keep a close watch. From the start of the pandemic, state lab officials say they've processed more than 200,000 samples.

Hits and Misses, Pandemic Edition 2.0: Anthony Kaufman Breaks Down Six Sundance 2020 Films' Theatrical Releases
According to Box Office Mojo, our contemporary plague ended on June 14, 2021—the last day the label "COVID-19 Pandemic" was included on its daily box office reporting. But don't tell that to anyone trying to release a film in the second half of 2021, as viral variants spread widely across America, plunging the hopes of many filmmakers and distributors. Welcome to Pandemic: Year 2. The merciless persistence of the coronavirus and its wide-ranging impact on theatrical moviegoing and home viewing habits became more entrenched over the past several months—with indies on the losing end of the stick.

Transformations in Non-fiction Filmmaking: The SCAD Savannah Film Festival presents the 8th Annual Docs to Watch Roundtable
This year's SCAD Savannah Film Festival – the "largest university-run film festival in the world," which ran from October 23-30 – was a conveniently hybrid event that also marked my own return to the in-person festival circuit. Admittedly, as someone residing in a blue state with a strict mask mandate in place, traveling to the Deep South was a somewhat disorienting experience. And a stark reminder that the U.S.'s politicization of a global pandemic really is a war within – and specifically within the states themselves.

Introducing Romeo Okwara, the Low-Key Most Stylish Man in Sports
The 24-year-old Nigerian is an NFL star, professional photographer, and burgeoning Deadhead. He also has a hell of a closet.
By Clay Skipper
Photography by Tom Keelan
Here is a short list of statements about Romeo Okwara, all of which are true. After a standout football career at Notre Dame, the Nigerian-born defensive end went undrafted in the 2016 NFL Draft; three seasons later, he's a star on the Detroit Lions, racking up a team-leading 7.5 sacks in 2018. He's an avid photographer who, this past summer, exhibited a show of photos he took in the 20(ish) days and nights he spent at Brooklyn's Rescue 2 firehouse. When he's not taking timeless black-and-white photos or sacking QBs, he's a faithful Grateful Dead fan—becoming, through the Dead & Company shows he's attended, a certified Friend of John Mayer. All of the clothes in the following psychedelically stylish photos are his own. (It took him four hours to decide what to bring.) He's 24 years old. And, most remarkably, this is probably the first time you're hearing about him.
How did you originally get into style?
When I got to New York after college, I started buying clothes. All of college, I was basically wearing athletic gear. We used to make fun of athletes, [because] they had the gray sweatsuits. We used to call it the grout-fit.
When did you move over from Nigeria?
In 2005. I was 10. I got here in sixth grade.
What was your first creative outlet?
Drawing. I remember drawing in class instead of paying attention. I'd trace or draw random things in class all the time. My mom's brother is a painter. That's probably in the bloodline somewhere. I was always interested in visuals.
How did you get into the Grateful Dead?
I think it was my senior year of college. I had a professor who I didn't know was a Deadhead. It was around the time they had a farewell tour in Chicago. He busted into class one day and was like, "Guys, the Grateful Dead is doing one last tour." I've always loved music, but I'd never heard of the Grateful Dead.
I went back to my dorm after class and I looked up the Grateful Dead, and listened to a couple songs. It wasn't anything crazy to me. I was like, "Why is this guy freaking out about it?" Right after I graduated, they were playing at Alpine Valley and I just happened to be close by in Wisconsin. They were touring as Dead & Company. I was like, "This could be cool. I like John Mayer. I don't know about the Grateful Dead, but I know professor loved the Grateful Dead."
I went to the show and it completely blew my mind. I've been to like 15 shows now—which is not that many in the Grateful Dead world.
Why do you think Deadhead culture is having such a moment in fashion?
I feel like John may have influenced a little bit of that. I think John being in the band pulled this new generation into this old generation of the Grateful Dead. As younger people start going to shows, finding out more about the band, the clothing and the merch also became a whole thing.
Do you have a relationship with John?
We actually met my rookie year. I think he was playing at the Roots Picnic. I got the chance to hang out for a little bit. Then we just kept in touch ever since.
What have you learned from spending time with him?
I'm a big fan of his style. I asked him about playing, how he improvises certain stuff, [and] how he deals with nerves, because I get nervous before games sometimes. He reminds himself, "I'm just going out there doing what I do." I tell myself the same thing: I practice every single day, I've done this before.
What do you dig about his style?
I've never seen anyone wear a robe [like him]. Something simple as that. "Wow, John's wearing a robe out in public." [There's] just something very unique about the way he carries himself.
I find it hard to take risks when it comes to fashion and style.
It can definitely be hard. I went to school with people that take a lot of risks and it's cool being around those type of people. It pushes you to take risks. At the end of the day, are you gonna judge someone for wearing a piece of clothing? You're just wearing clothes. You can have a good fit, or you can have a bad fit. It doesn't really matter. You're learning at the same time, too. You got to take those risks.
What's something you learned from spending time with the firefighters on the Rescue 2 team?
They have a very intense job. It just teaches you that humans are very resilient. It doesn't matter how tired you are, there's always extra gas in the tank, you always have time for one more play. Their job is to rescue people from burning buildings. No matter what's going on at home, no matter the situation, that's their job. They don't complain to anybody. What am I complaining for when these people are put in these life-and-death situations? I'm running around on a football field.
It seems to me like the routine of football would be very different from the creative impulse that it takes to snap photos.
With football, routine is very important. Every single week, our schedule is the same. It does not change. I think within football, within the way you play, you can be creative. That's why different athletes are different. Michael Jordan had his own style. Kobe Bryant had his own style. Julius Peppers had his own style. Steve Smith had his own style. I think you can extend your creativity on the field in the way you move and what not. [Creativity] carries over in its own form.
When you're shooting photos, what are you trying to capture?
I love a good portrait. [I'm] just trying to capture a sliver or moment in someone's life at a certain time.
You went undrafted. Then, you were waived by the Giants your rookie year. How much self-doubt crept in, in those moments?
None at all, really. It just pushed me to work harder. It was just more of, "When I get my shot, I'm going to show you." Everyone gets an equal opportunity, no matter if you get drafted or you fall into a free agent, once you get into the NFL, nothing you did before matters. Nothing matters except what you put on tape going forward. Once I got my opportunity, I just took that and said, "Here's my situation. How do I make the best of it?"
How much do you worry about all the things that are emerging with regards to concussions and CTE?
We're all aware of the dangers and the risks that comes with the job. There's only so much you can do. I'm not quitting football. I love this game. If you're worrying about those things, I don't think it's going to really help you much. I try to play with better technique if anything, keep my head out of the game, use my arms or whatnot.
What do you do to protect your mental health?
Mindfulness is very important. That's how I got to meet the firefighters. Two of the guys came to talk to the Giants about the mental part of the game and how they deal in stressful situations. A big part of it is just breathing—finding your breath, slowing down your breath, and using that as meditation. Music is very stress relieving. Also, football is an outlet. There's no other place in the world where you can legally hit people.
I feel like in the NFL, you can be like, "I want to make the Pro Bowl." Do you have an equivalent benchmark for photography?
Not necessarily. I started doing this as a hobby. I'm not necessarily looking for anything from it. I think that's a healthy way to go about it. I'm just doing something I enjoy doing.
Do you approach football that way, too?
We're playing this game because we love it. If you try to worry about a lot of stuff that comes with it, you can stress yourself out and hurt yourself. At the end of the day, we're out there playing this game I've been playing since I was 11 years old. I go as hard as I can every day no matter the situation. I just let everything else take care of itself. I try not to worry about the outside.
What does success look like to you?
At the end of the day, if I'm doing things I love, I'm having fun, and I'm happy, I think that's success to me. I just like doing what I like to do. I don't necessarily care what people think about it.

Do you feel that you have to justify your learning and development plan to everyone in your organisation? Do you need justify your budget to senior management? Are your trainees struggling to work out the reasons behind the training?
In the first case there are many potential justifications; updates to legislation or regulation, changes in business processes or even increases in profit margin derived from performance increases your training would deliver.
As trainers we have clear learning objectives in mind when we design and deliver a training course. Communicating these effectively to learners is the most straightforward justification for their participation and engagement. For learners who are on the fringes of your target audience, this is harder as the learning objectives matter less to them on a day to day basis. Here I would suggest that you stress personal development for the learner as the main justification.
Fostering a culture of learning and development is difficult, but making that change can free you up to raise the bar for you training organisation. How much more could you achieve if you didn't have to justify all of your learning and development activity?

Randomized clinical trial of breast irradiation following lumpectomy and axillary dissection for node-negative breast cancer: an update. Ontario Clinical Oncology Group. Academic Article
BACKGROUND: Breast-conservation surgery is now commonly used to treat breast cancer. Postoperative breast irradiation reduces cancer recurrence in the breast. There is still controversy concerning the necessity of irradiation of the breast in all patients. PURPOSE: We present an update of results from a randomized clinical trial designed to examine the efficacy of breast irradiation following conservation surgery in the treatment of women with axillary lymph node-negative breast cancer. The patients were enrolled from April 1984 through February 1989. Initial results were published in 1992 after a median follow-up time of 43 months. It was reported that recurrence of cancer in the breast occurred in 5.5% of the patients who received breast irradiation compared with 25.7% of those who did not. No difference in survival was detected between the two treatment groups. Now that the median patient follow-up has reached 7.6 years, the trial end points have been re-examined and an attempt has again been made to identify a group of patients at low risk for recurrence of cancer in the breast. METHODS: Eight hundred thirty-seven patients with node-negative breast cancer were randomly assigned to receive either radiation therapy (n = 416) or no radiation therapy (n = 421) following lumpectomy and axillary lymph node dissection. The cumulative local recurrence rate as a first event, distant recurrence (i.e., occurrence of metastasis) rate, and overall mortality rate for the treatment groups were described by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with the use of the logrank test. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to adjust the observed treatment effect for the influence of various prognostic factors (patient age, tumor size, estrogen receptor level, and tumor histology) at study entry on the outcomes of local breast recurrence, distant recurrence, and overall mortality. All P values resulted from the use of two-tailed statistical tests. RESULTS: One hundred forty eight (35%) of the nonirradiated patients and 47 (11%) of the irradiated patients developed recurrent cancer in the breast (relative risk for patients in the former versus the latter group = 4.0; 95% confidence interval = 2.83-5.65; P < .0001). Ninety-nine (24%) of the patients in the former group have died compared with 87 (21%) in the latter group. Age (< 50 years), tumor size (> 2 cm), and tumor nuclear grade (poor) continued to be important predictors for local breast relapse. On the basis of these factors, we were unable to identify a subgroup of patients with a very low risk for local breast cancer recurrence. Tumor nuclear grade, as previously reported, and tumor size were important predictors for mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Breast irradiation was shown to reduce cancer recurrence in the breast, but there was no statistically significant reduction in mortality. A subgroup of patients with a very low risk for local breast recurrence who might not require radiation therapy was not identified.
