Here are some mini-reviews of movies I have seen lately that are worth a view.
Wang Yu starred in and directed this swordplay epic in which an isolated Chinese coastal village finds itself overrun by the Japanese invaders. Hsiao Feng (Wang Yu) decides to help and recruit skilled swordsmen to help rid the town of the Japanese once and for all. Similar in tone to The Magnificent Seven / Seven Samurai, The fighters are an eclectic bunch, a knife fighter, spear fighter etc. The choreography is typical of the period but the epic end battle does stand out as the highlight of the film. If your a fan of Wang Yu and his swordplay movies seek this out. The Joy Sales DVD from Hong Kong is anamorphic widescreen (all region), not remastered so grainy and battered in a few places. It is in the original Mandarin with English and Chinese subtitles.
BUY BEACH OF THE WAR GODS HERE.
Shaw Brothers classic in which the Shaolin Temple is destroyed and five surviving masters must train to get revenge on those responsible. Great cast which includes Fu Sheng, Ti Lung, David Chiang and Chi Kuan Chun. Director Chang Cheh and choreographer Lau Kar Leung get to show a variety of styles and weapons and the film builds to a fantastic climax after the obligatory training sequences. The Region 1 DVD released in the USA is remastered anamorphic widescreen with original Mandarin language and subtitles. English dub track also on the disc. recommended.
No not the Van Damme movie but a Wong Fei Hung type martial arts film starring Yuen Biao and Yuen Wah. Spoilt young Chow Fat (Yuen Biao) gets into trouble and is framed as an opium smuggler. He then goes undercover to break up the real operation run by Chairman Wah (Yuen Wah).
Good to see Yuen Biao in a traditional kung fu epic and he gets to show his kicking skills very well. A bit of a low budget Once Upon A Time In China but still worth a look and a great end fight with Yuen Wah also.
The HK DVD is widescreen (all region) in original Cantonese with English subtitles but is now out of print and hard to find. A good nights viewing.


The season of winter is finally being felt in Florida. The temperatures are hitting low enough to give me a chill — I won't specify what these temperatures are because it will probably seem warm to most, but coming from 80 plus degrees on Christmas these Temps are cool and refreshing. The perfect chill to make you crave comfort foods. Comfort foods to me are best served hot. Anything with broths, gravies, or sauces.


You've probably already made up your mind. Traditional publishing is the way to go. It is the gold standard, after all. Nothing provides instant validation quite like a contract from a big New York publishing house. To say that you've been published sounds great at dinner parties, and is a surefire way to impress your mom's friends. But are you selling yourself short by not considering self-publishing? Not only is it a worthy competitor of traditional publishing, self-publishing may win you over because it gives you all the power. There's no one to stop you from publishing your manuscript and your success is in direct proportion to your hustle. In this post, we'll highlight the pros and cons for both traditional publishing and self-publishing. Let's get started.
Traditional publishing can be summarized in three words: You get paid. Here's how it works: You court a traditional publishing house, usually through a literary agent. The publisher believes that your book will sell tons of copies and enters into an agreement with you. In exchange for a monetary advance and future royalties, you give the publishing company the right to produce, distribute, and sell your book. Now, let's talk about the pros and cons.
Getting published by a traditional publishing house has a nice ring to it, especially if it's one of the 'Big Five' (Hachette, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin Random House, and Simon & Schuster). For some authors, it's the ultimate proof or endorsement of one's writing ability.
Goodbye starving artists' days — well, at least until the advance check runs out. One of the biggest pros for going with traditional publishing is you'll get paid in advance before they publish your work. Another bonus is you won't have to repay the advance if your book doesn't sell as well as predicted.
Once you hand your book over to a traditional publisher, you won't have to market your book as much. They'll do some of the heavy lifting, but it is still recommended that you pound the pavement and advertise your book as well. Your publisher will make sure that your book gets placed onto the publisher's catalog and, from there, possibly to book stores. They will send the book off to reviewers, showcase it at book conventions, and share it on their website. Some authors are heavily marketed through advertisements. You may even get a book tour if you're lucky enough.
Booksellers and libraries are much more likely to purchase books from established, traditional publishers. You may be able to sell a self-published book to a local or independent bookseller, but if you'd like to make it to Barnes and Nobles or Books-A-Million, you'll have better luck going with a traditional publisher. This is especially true for children's books.
You're a writer, not a designer. When you go with a traditional publisher, they have in-house resources that can help you produce a polished and professional-looking book. You won't have to worry about designing, formatting, or choosing a cover image for your book.
This is both a pro and a con. You may not like the idea of giving away the "baby" that you've nurtured for so long (in some cases years) to a publisher that may change everything about it. The publisher may go in a totally different direction than you expect or want. You may have some input, but the final say is out of your hands. That means you won't control the look, the price or, to a large extent, the marketing of your book.
Getting accepted by an agent is probably the most difficult part of the publishing process. That's why you need an agent. An agent will go to the publishing houses and advocate for you. In fact, the top agents will do more than just get you in front of publishers: they'll manage your writing career and make sure that you're treated fairly. But, getting one isn't easy. As you can imagine, they're bombarded with tons of query letters by hopefuls just like you. Additionally, they don't come without strings. They'll take a 15% commission from your advance and your royalties.
Traditional publishing usually takes at least a year, but sometimes longer. You may go through several rounds of revisions for months on end. According to agent Steve Laube, the process can take as long as two years from conception to publishing.
If you're not writing in a popular genre, say science fiction or romance, you may not be as attractive to traditional publishers. That said, you may find niche publishers that are willing to accept your book, but the market, like your advance, may be smaller.
While everyone goes crazy over the advance, you may not think about the actual percentage of royalties you'll receive. With traditional publishing, you receive a lower percentage of royalties (around 10% for hardback and 8% for paperback) due to the cost of printing, warehousing and shipping.
Here's two words to sum up self-publishing: You pay.
In the past, self-publishing had a negative reputation, but times are changing.
Today's self-publishing is not like your grandmother's vanity press. Some of the most successful authors are self-published, including Hugh Howey (Wool Trilogy), E.L. James (50 Shades of Gray), and Lisa Genova (Still Alice).
The only person who stops you from getting published is you. While you may need to learn how to prepare your book for publishing, you can do so at your own pace.
Shell-shocked from stories of "published" authors with boxes of unsold books in their garage? That's old-school and unnecessary. If you want to print your book, you don't have to publish 1,000 copies at once: you can copy one, five, or ten at a time with print on-demand services.
If you plan on publishing several books, you can choose to be your own publisher (as opposed to listing a third party as a publisher). While you do pay for all the elements of your book, it is possible to publish for free — but I'd highly suggest that you invest in your product.
Just because you self-publish doesn't mean you can't distribute your book and make it onto bookstore shelves. Here's a fantastic discussion on how to get into bookstores as a self-published author.
Minus the cost associated with producing and printing your book, you'll get a higher percentage rate of the net profits than you would with a traditional publisher, in most cases.
Yup, you're still a writer and not a designer. With self-publishing, you've got to be both, or hire out. Fortunately, you'll find a lot of great companies out there that can help you with editing (ahem), and cover design (Anna Dorfman, Susan Olinsky, etc.).
If you want to get your book in bookstores and libraries, you're going to have to make it happen, and it's easier said than done. It requires a lot of time and tough skin (because you're going to get rejected a lot).
As the adage goes, reviews sell books. You need to get reviewed by esteemed critics to find your audience and for validation. When you go with a traditional publisher, they take care of it for you, but since you're self-publishing, you're on your own. Fortunately, you still have options to get independent reviews, such as Kirkus Reviews, BookLife, or even through hunting down bloggers in your niche.

SXSW Interactive Innovation Award Winners
By David Keene
The SXSW (South by Southwest) Conference and Festivals (March 8-17, 2019) recognized "the most exciting tech developments in the world" with its 22nd annual SXSW Interactive Innovation Awards ceremony, on Monday evening March 11th.
A bold claim – but at SXSW, the annual awards ceremony consistently lives up to its mission of celebrating finalists' and winners' "multifaceted and diverse ecosystem of technological achievements and creative work." Because each year at SXSW – where so many conferences, panel sessions, industry meet-ups and events of all kinds compete for attention in what is really this country's most ambitious and far-reaching tech conference – the Interactive Awards ceremony is always, for many, not only the best place to see so many examples of innovation in one place but a refreshing look at exciting developments outside of one's own tech bubble. SXSW is so much about that – drawing ideas and inspiration from your own tech sector but also seeing and hearing so much from others that are pushing the boundaries and accomplishments in other sectors. If you haven't been to SXSW, that is the most compelling reason to attend, and it's a huge one.
Comedian and writer Beth Stelling emceed this year's Awards ceremony. Thirteen awards and six special honors, including Best of Show, People's Choice, Breakout Trend of the Event, Speaker of the Event, Meme of the Year and the David Carr Prize, were presented to innovators for exceptional work spanning categories from AI & Machine Learning, to the ever-evolving world of Smart Cities, Transportation & Delivery, Music & Audio Innovation, Health, Med, & BioTech, Speculative Design, and more.
A big trend in this year's awards was technology for health care – in particular, delivering health care in new ways, leveraging new interactive tools that bring better care to more people. Examples of this trend included: the Butterfly iQ, a portable ultrasound scanner that transmits images via an iPhone app, making it possible for doctors to do scans—whether of the heart, a limb, or a fetus in utero—in places without traditional ultrasound machines; AVEnueS, a VR experience designed to help human social workers practice and sharpen their decision-making skills in high-stress situations, including helping case workers make quick decisions regarding child safety that have tremendous repercussions; and a robotic duck from insurance company Aflac that was developed for children with pediatric cancer.
Honoring those exceptional innovators whose work has helped shape the connected world and who continue to guide the direction of the digital industry, this year's SXSW Interactive Hall of Fame inductee was Kimberly Bryant, Founder and CEO of Black Girls CODE, a non-profit organization dedicated to changing the face of technology by introducing girls of color to the field of technology and computer science with a concentration on entrepreneurial concepts. Kimberly Bryant gave an impassioned acceptance speech Monday night, and explained how she's mentored women in a field with so many roadblocks. And it was an inspiration to everyone, on a level that – again – drew the audience out of their own jargon-filled tech bubbles and toward a better understanding of challenges, and accomplishments, in so many sectors.
This year's SXSW Interactive Hall of Fame inductee was Kimberly Bryant, Founder and CEO of Black Girls CODE.
A panel of judges comprised of industry peers and experts selected the Innovations Awards winners based on four criteria: creativity, form, function and overall experience, except for the People's Choice Award. SXSW Interactive attendees voted for the People's Choice Award at the second annual Innovation Award Finalist Showcase on Saturday, March 9, where the 65 finalists had the opportunity to exhibit and demo their work.
"The Interactive community would like to congratulate this year's winners for their exciting work and break-through innovations," said Hugh Forrest, Chief Programming Officer, SXSW. "We look forward to many upcoming achievements from the 2019 SXSW Interactive Innovation Awards winners."

Two-time Quebec college basketball MVP Mamadou Gueye commits to University of Alberta
Jul 04, 2013 • July 4, 2013 • 2 minute read
He wouldn't necessarily call it a pipeline, but Alberta Golden Bears basketball coach Barnaby Craddock certainly seems to be establishing a flow of hoops talent from Eastern Canada.
For a second consecutive year, Craddock has recruited a college star from Quebec. Two-time RSEQ most valuable player Mamadou Gueye has committed to the University of Alberta, where he will join the men's basketball team for the 2013-14 campaign.
"He's an elite level recruit with a very bright future for our program," says Craddock. "If we're going outside of the province to gather recruits, then we want to bring in people who are going to have a large impact to our program and Mamadou fits that mold."
Gueye, 20, won his second straight MVP award while playing with the Saint-Foy Dynamics in Quebec City last season. He led the RSEQ in scoring (20.7 points per game) and blocks (1.6) while ranking second in rebounds (9.8).
Cradock plans to use the six-foot-seven Gueye on the wing and at power forward.
"He's a mismatch guy: he can post up little players and take bigger guys outside and (score) from the perimeter."
Gueye follows the footsteps of point guard Youssef Ouahrig, a Montreal product that came to Alberta last season from Champlain College and won the Canada West rookie of the year award with the Golden Bears.
The U of A's Faculté Saint-Jean, a Francophone campus, was a big draw for the French-speaking Gueye, who wants to become fluently bilingual and will take classes in both English and French. He also hit it off with his future teammates during a recruiting visit to Alberta.
"I am really excited to attend University of Alberta, because it is a great opportunity to play on a championship caliber program," says Gueye, who has five years CIS eligibility.. "I really like my future teammates; they are very serious about basketball, and I cannot wait to start working alongside them."
With a healthy Jordan Baker returning from injury and the debut of Joel Friesen who redshirted last year after transferring from Fraser Valley, Alberta could contend for a national title in 2014.
While he has great success recruiting out of province, Craddock, who is entering his second season with the Bears, hasn't lost sight of the competition in his backyard.
"We'd love to get as many Alberta and Edmonton products on our program as possible, and there's a great recruiting class coming out here locally in two seasons, so we'll be really looking to grab those guys when they come out," he says.

STS-135 Harvesting of Experiment Samples
All NEWLY updated information is in GREEN TEXT below.
Information still to be determined is in RED TEXT below.
Dates and times that are subject to change at NASA's discretion are in PURPLE TEXT below.
Last update of this page: 12:30 pm EDT, July 13, 2011
This page provides student flight experiment teams comprehensive information on how their Experiment Samples (fluids and solids) are harvested from the MDA mini-lab after the Shuttle flight and are returned to them. Recall that the mini-lab is part of the NanoRacks CREST DreamUp payload on STS-135.
All questions regarding harvesting of experiment samples should be sent directly to Dr. Harri Vanhala, SSEP National Program Manager, at harrivanhala@ncesse.org or 202-297-9178.
1. Harvesting Site
ITA will harvest the STS-135 experiment samples at the NASA Space Life Sciences Lab (SLS Lab) at Kennedy Space Center. We are exploring the possibility of providing live video feed of the harvesting from the SLS Lab to the internet. If this is not possible, we are hoping that the harvesting process can be videotaped and a portion of the video can be uploaded to the SSEP website for later viewing.
2. Critical Timeline for Harvesting of Samples
Given the complexity of a Shuttle flight, and NASA's discretionary ability to make schedule changes, all student teams are asked to remain flexible. The Shuttle is scheduled to land at 5:56 am EDT on Thursday, July 21. Note, however, that this date is the first opportunity for Atlantis to land; issues such as weather concerns at the landing site may delay the landing by a day or more, so keep in mind that all "Landing plus" milestones in the schedule below remain tentative.
Here is the harvesting schedule, with all times in EDT—
STS-135 Landing (currently 5:56 am EDT on Thursday, July 21)
Landing plus 4-5 Hours (currently by 10:56 am, Thursday, July 21): ITA is expected to have received the CREST DreamUp payload from NASA.
Landing plus 5-6 Hours (currently by 11:56 am, Thursday, July 21): ITA should have completed disassembly of the payload, and documenting via still photography and video the condition of the hardware (this process requires approximately 45 minutes.)
Landing plus 5-6 Hours (currently by 11:56 am, Thursday, July 21): ITA should have started harvesting process. Time-critical student experiments (those that have requested "early harvesting") will be harvested before the less critical experiments, but it is reasonable to expect that all MDA samples will be harvested within 24 hours after NASA turns the payload over to ITA. The shipping of samples for experiments that have requested "early harvesting" will start as soon after harvesting as possible, and it may be possible that at least some of the samples will be FedExed to the communities on Thursday afternoon. However, it is not possible to know which experiments will be harvested in time for Thursday shipping, and most experiment samples are likely not going to be shipped until the following day.
Landing plus 28-29 Hours (currently by 10:56 am, Friday, July 22): ITA should have completed harvesting process.
Landing plus 36 hours (currently by 5:56 pm, Friday, July 22): FedEx near Kennedy Space Center has received all harvested samples for shipment. While some experiments that have requested "early harvesting" may be FedExed on Thursday afternoon, this milestone represents the time by which all samples are scheduled to be shipped to the student teams. All teams are advised to be ready to receive their shipments on both Friday, July 22, and Saturday, July 23.
Important Note: If the landing of the Shuttle is delayed by a day or more, the harvesting and shipping of samples will be delayed by the length of delay. If the Shuttle is diverted to its alternate landing site in California, Edwards Air Force Base, a NanoRacks representative will receive the payload from NASA at the landing site and then fly or ship it back to the payload processing facility at Kennedy Space Center. This will delay the start of the harvesting process by 12 to 36 hours. Updates on any changes in the harvesting schedule will be posted on this page, as well as on the SSEP National Blog, with automatic email notification to all Blog subscribers.
3. Details on How the Samples Are Harvested
The ITA technicians that will extract experiments in the MDA are skilled technicians with almost two decades of experience working with the device. Fluids are extracted by pipettor; pipettor is analogous to a sophisticated eye dropper. Solids are very carefully extracted with tweezers. Any solids that cannot be extracted with tweezers because they have grown too large or become wedged or caught between the sliding blocks are extracted by separating the blocks following fluid extraction. In Type 2-Prime wells, the fluid is extracted through the top block using a pipettor. If a solid cannot be extracted through the top block, it may be extracted following the separation of the two blocks.
The NASA Space Life Sciences Lab (SLS Lab) where the samples will be harvested is a world-class laboratory with all the capability and systems necessary to host Shuttle and International Space Station experiment processing as well as associated biological and life sciences research. The facility contains many support laboratories and capabilities. The lab includes fume hoods with air, vacuum, and water, and a Class 100K clean-room environment.
4. Receiving Harvested Samples via Your Representative at Kennedy or via FedEx
When the samples have been harvested from the MDA in the NASA SLS Lab, they will be brought over to the Florida Space Institute facility (FSI; see the address in Section 6 below) and given to the student representatives. For teams that do not send representatives to Kennedy for pickup, the samples will be FedExed using the airbill the student team provided as part of their original shipment of samples to Kennedy. Given the current landing schedule (see Section 2 above), some harvested samples will be FedExed on Thursday, July 21, but most will be sent on Friday, July 22. All teams are advised to be ready to receive their shipments on both Friday, July 22, and Saturday, July 23. Note that FedEx will deliver the package on Saturday only if this was specifically marked on your FedEx airbill; otherwise the package will not be delivered until Monday, July 25.
Teams that plan to pick up the harvested samples in person should have requested this option when they sent in the Flight Experiment Samples Submission Form. Teams that want their harvested samples FedExed should have included a fully completed return FedEx airbill in their pre-flight shipment of samples.
5. Shipping Vials for Harvested Samples
ITA will reuse the vials the student teams used to submit their samples for flight. ITA will clean the vials once the Shuttle attains orbit and have them ready to receive the harvested samples after the flight. If a team wants to use a new vial for their harvested samples, instead of having ITA reuse a cleaned container, the team can send empty vials for harvested samples before the Shuttle lands to the address provided in Section 6 below. The team must use allowed vials whose specifications are provided on the STS-135 Submission of Experiment Samples for Flight page. The Team must also alert Dr. Harri Vanhala at NCESSE that they are sending new vials for harvested samples.
6. Special Shipping Requests for Harvested Samples
ITA will make every effort to honor any special shipping requests for the harvested samples, e.g., shipping with thermal controls such as heat or cold packs. Any special shipping requests should have been provided, in detail, by the student team as part of the "Special Handling" section on the Flight Experiment Samples Submission Form. Any items needed to fulfill a special shipping request, e.g., heat or cold packs, need to be supplied by the student team and sent to the FSI Lab Facility. If the team sent heat or cold packs with their submission of flight samples, ITA will reuse the packs, but if not, the required items must be sent to ITA before the Shuttle lands. The mailing address for the special shipping items is:
MDA Payload Processing Lab
Florida Space Institute
Astronaut Memorial Foundation
Attn: Mr. Robert Crabbs
State Road 405, Building M6-306
Kennedy Space Center, FL 32899
The teams are advised to alert NCESSE and ITA that they are sending new special shipping supplies for the harvested samples.

Prof Adaobi Obasi: A Blazing Trail In The History of Imo State University
Congratulations to Prof Adaobi Obasi: A Blazing Trail In The History of Imo State University
Accolades, encomiums, congratulatory messages was showered on Prof Mrs Adaobi Obasi during a courtesy visit by Founder of Arise Afrika #Magazine / Ceo Face Of Arise Africa Awards and Team members after the celebration.
In their address, they stated that there is no doubt that our amiable Vice Chancellor -Prof Mrs Adaobi Obasi has been exceptional in inspiring and impacting our youths.
Adding his voice, the publisher of Arise Africa Magazine described her as a down to earth woman who always interacts with people, ranging from old or young, irrespective of status. He said, Arise Africa applaud her giant efforts towards women and youth empowerment and not surprised that she emerged one of receipent of Award as "Best Vice Chancellor " and the Institutions also bagged "Outstanding University of The Year" during Arise Africa Achievers Award which held at Full Moon Hotels Owerri, Imo State. She was represented at the occasion by Prof Martins Uchenna Nwankwo - Digital Dean Student Affairs, Imo State University
Prof. (Mrs.) Adaobi Obasi is the Vice Chancellor of Imo State University (IMSU) and has continued to play vital role towards restoring the institution's lost glory of once being the best state owned university in Nigeria.
Prof Adaobi Obasi remains an altruistic administrator who desires nothing but the best for the university community. She is a Professor of Education (curriculum), BA (Ed), MA (Ed), and Phd who encourages other Professors to engage in research works for academic excellence. She is the first female Vice Chancellor of State owned Universities in Nigeria.
Since her appointment after serving as a Commissioner of Education with the rescue mission government of His Excellency, Owelle Anayo Rochas Okorocha. She indeed has rescued Imo State University from its near total collapse since after the era of Prof. Chuka Okonkwo whose tenure was also rated high.Today her giant strides are evident for all to see in terms of conducive learning environment, improved infrastructural facilities, harmonious working relationship among staff whereby most of the warring factions in the university have been brought under one of peace, harmony and mutual co-existence.
Prof. Obasi, a lady of St. Christopher (LSC) in the Anglican Communion, her administration has guaranteed dignity of labour, peace, security of lives and property, aggressive infrastructural development, skill acquisition among others and these corroborate the saying that when the righteous is in power, the people rejoice and is clearly evident in the style of leadership as experienced presently in Imo state university.
A rare achiever as described by many, Prof. Obasi is one of the most experienced professors that Imo state is blessed with. She is a woman of wisdom, compassion. The peace and tranquility presently experienced in IMSU today have led to the meritorious promotion of over 50 new professors.
Anybody that visited IMSU 5 years ago and peradventure visits it today will truly know that there is improvement from what it used to be in the past.
Her administrative acumen and prudent management of funds have led to the massive infrastructural development witnessed in the institution today. The way she pulled through despite harsh economic challenges to still deliver is a sure testimony that the institution is in a better hand.
Since the inception of her administration as IMSU VC, there has been continuous infrastructural development including the magnificent Senate building which is one of the best in the country, female hostels which stand as the first in the annals of IMSU. Also on going is massive renovation of dilapidated structures around the institution thereby repositioning the school and enhancing a more conducive learning environment.
Going by these numerous achievements recorded by Prof. Adaobi Obasi as the Vice Chancellor of Imo State University, Owerri, one can only say bravo for a job well done so far and pray for more grace, strength and wisdom to attain greater heights

Dear Alhaji,
Re: Request to Prosecute Nigerian Political Protestors at Nuremberg.
I find it highly provocative and unusually undiplomatic, for a Government that created the conditions that drove her citizens into exile, to request that same citizens be prosecuted by the host country, for demanding justice and equity from their government officials.
Germany is a democratic country that has taken in, and granted asylum to refugees from all over the world. Freedom of association and the right to political protest is the right of everyone resident in Germany. I, Heiko Maas has been plastered with rotten eggs and rotten tomatoes by my constituents.

1. Can we get to meet you? (a) Where were you born and how was growing up like?
My Name is Longinus Anyaehiechukwu Anokwute.
I was born in Nigeria, In Imo State. In Umuduru, Ekwe, Isu Local Government Area in a hospital called "Nnaji Hospital & Maternity "
My growing up was fine but in another way, it was not smooth. I am the last child of my parents. In the family of six. 4 boys and 2 girls.
I thank God for everything he has done in the life of this very man you are seeing here today, the Almighty God I serve smoothened the rough ways for me.
It was never easy growing up as a child. Never believed life can be so rosy towards the end of it. I was raised up empty handely by my mother and elder sister (may her soul rest in peace).
There was no uncle to run for help. I moved from bush to bush.
Back then, help was far from reach despite the daily struggle.
I was doing manual jobs.
It was just me struggling to …

Protests, Disbelief After Greek Government Axes Public Broadcaster
Employees defied the government shutdown and continued to broadcast live coverage of the protests online after over-the-air transmissions were blocked.

The Greek government's decision to pull the plug on its national public broadcaster has sparked major protests with media workers, politicians and members of the public gathering outside offices of the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation, the ERT, in Athens.
Greece's conservative government shut off ERT's signal Tuesday night, hours after announcing that the public broadcaster, which costs Greek taxpayers around $400 million (€300 million) a year would be closed as part of national austerity programs.
Greece has already drastically slashed public services in an attempt to comply with cost-cutting measures required to secure bailout funds from European and international institutions.

ERT's three national TV channels as well as its national and regional radio stations where taken off air at midnight local time. ERT's 2,600 employees were laid off and asked to reapply for their jobs as part of a new, leaner and supposedly independent media organization the government says will replace the old ERT.
The European Broadcasting Union (EBU), an association which represents public broadcasters across the continent, expressed its "profound dismay" at the Greek government's decision.
In an open letter to Greek Prime Minister, Antonis Samaras, the president of the EBU, Jean-Paul Philippot, and EBU director general Ingrid Deltenre urged Mr. Samaras "to use all his powers to immediately reverse this decision." The EBU argued that such "far-reaching changes to the public media system" should only be made after an "inclusive democratic debate" in Greece's parliament, not through government diktat.
"While we recognize the need to make budgetary savings," the letter reads "national broadcasters are more important than ever at times of national difficulty."
The closure has shocked many in Greece and elsewhere. Shortly after the announcement, crowds began to gather outside ERT's Athens headquarters.
The Greek shutdown has also lit up social media, with the Twitter hashtag #EPT trending worldwide.
Unions representing media workers called for a general media blackout in protest and private TV channels complied, taking shows off the air for six hours, replacing them with reruns and advertisements.
ERT employees defied the government shutdown and continued to broadcast live coverage of the protests online after over-the-air transmissions were blocked.
ERT's online feed, at www.ert.gr, appeared still to be working by late morning local time on Wednesday.

Рольф Вікстрем () (9 грудня, 1912, Крістіанія — 10 вересня 1941, Осло) — норвезький профспілковий діяч. Розстріляний німецькою окупаційною владою за організацію страйку.

Біографія
Рольф Вікстрем народився 9 грудня 1912 року у сім'ї робітників. Крім нього, в родині ще було 7 дітей. Довгий час Рольф не міг знайти постійну роботу, поки в 1935 році не влаштувався зварником на вагоноремонтний завод в Осло.

26 березня 1938 року Рольф Вікстрем одружився з дочкою знайомого токаря Сигне Ельвірою Говінд (1913—1996). Цього ж року у них народився син Тор.

У 1940 році Вікстрем був обраний керівником профспілки на вагоноремонтному заводі. Спершу на цій посаді він відрізнявся відсутністю радикалізму і схильністю до компромісів у трудових спорах з роботодавцем.

Однак, після переобрання у 1941 році, Вікстрем став прихильником більш рішучих дій. Через підбурювання Вікстрема, робітники вагоноремонтного заводу 1 травня 1941 року залишили о 12:00 свої робочі місця і розійшлися по домівках. Даний приклад був підхоплений і декількома іншими підприємствами Осло. Німці побачили в цьому небезпечну передумову майбутньої громадянської непокори і Вікстрем разом з іншими профспілковими діячами був заарештований 19 травня і поміщений у в'язницю. Але через прагнення окупаційної влади залагодити справу миром, 26 травня Вікстрем звільнений з-під варти.

У вересні 1941 року в Норвегії почалися перебої з продовольством. Німецька окупаційна влада перестали видавати норвезьким робітникам «молочний пайок». Це стало останньою краплею, що переповнила чашу терпіння, і 9 вересня 1941 року в Осло розпочалася грандіознй страйк робітників, в якому взяло участь 25 тисяч осіб. В історії він став відомий як молочний страйк. Головними організаторами страйку були адвокат Вігго Ганстеен і профспілковий діяч Рольф Вікстрем.

Глава Рейхскомісаріату Норвегія Йозеф Тербовен вирішив скористатися ситуацією, що склалася для розгрому норвезького профспілкового руху. За його вказівкою 9 вересня Вігго Ганстеен і Рольф Вікстрем були заарештовані.

Наступного дня, 10 вересня, по всьому Осло пройшли масові арешти, в ході яких у в'язниці було посаджено сотні норвезьких робітників.

В той же день, Тербовен, для залякування населення, наказав розстріляти Ганстеена і Вікстрема.

Рольф Вікстрем і Вігго Ганстеен стали першими норвезькими громадянами, страченим німецькою окупаційною владою.

Safety-conscious companies across the Asia-Pacific are acutely aware of the need for standards compliance when it comes to their cranes and lifting equipment.
Companies in industries such as manufacturing, materials handling, mining, food and beverage, power generation and steel are focused on optimising the safety and reliability of the overhead cranes and lifting devices on which they rely for daily operations.
But as companies expand in size and have fleets of tens or even hundreds of cranes, it can be easy to miss one minor component of standards compliance, even if all due diligence is being taken to meet requirements, said global crane service and maintenance provider, Konecranes, which has more than 600,000 pieces of lifting equipment under service contract worldwide.
Consultation Service Manager, Konecranes Australia, Joseph Cefai said that the business is finding that even some dedicated safety and compliance managers may not realise there are additional procedures they aren't aware of.
"They have been vigilantly ensuring their employees comply to the standards they know, but weren't aware of several additional important rules," said Joseph.
To fill the gap for time-poor but safety-conscious companies, Konecranes has introduced its auditing tool, Compliance Gap Analysis. It ensures that companies using cranes and lifting devices are comprehensively compliant.
Konecranes NSW Branch Manager of it's Mayfield Branch, John Schatz said the tool presents a significant benefit to local businesses.
"Compliance Gap Analysis can provide great benefits to companies in the Newcastle and greater Hunter region, which has strong mining and energy generation industries," John said.
"Companies in these industries are highly safety conscious and companies that we provide this service to want to ensure current crane operations and maintenance practices are in sync with applicable regulatory requirements and best practices. The net result is compliance gaps are identified and rectified, which in turn assists our customers with a path of achieving the highest lifecycle value possible.
Although he can't name customers, John said that "the majority of companies that have used this service in the Hunter region have been in the energy, mining, manufacturing or steel making industries".
The Compliance Gap Analysis process involves a team of Konecranes' auditors visiting the company, touring the facility and creating a compliance review with an action plan for compliance.
"Expert Konecranes auditors look at entire maintenance programmes, as well as inspection methods, equipment usage, repair processes and structural reports to give a complete picture of operations and maintenance," Joseph said.
"We often find, for example, that a business' overhead travelling cranes are perfectly serviced and totally standards compliant, but their smaller workshop crane has been neglected, because it is often minimally used, or only used when other cranes are out of service or undergoing routine maintenance.
"It can also be seen as a reliability asset controller because it ensures that every asset is properly maintained and serviced, which will minimise downtime and improve productivity.

"Annabel sets a great pace for beginners and more experienced yoga enthusiasts. She is an inspiring teacher who makes everything easy to follow."
"I took up Pilates 6 months ago and now wonder why I left it so late! It's something that I recommend no matter what your walk of life. For me it's brought me a new lease of life on the tennis court. I had quite a serious recurring back problem and Pilates has all but eliminated it! I feel fitter, stronger and more supple and now have withdrawal symptoms when I don't get my weekly fix! I have my own ball, roller and even a pair of Pilates socks!! I'm particularly keen to see all our athletes at Everyball here at Halton get engaged with Pilates. Tom has been a superb coach and I heartily recommend him or a member of the Pilates team to you."
"I've had one-to-one Pilates as I was recovering from major hip surgery and the day I stopped needing physio was a revelation and the team that were helping me were impressed with the difference doing Pilates made. I now attend classes as does my wife, it keeps us young and we get to socialise with some local friends too."
"Elaine provided me with first class physiotherapy care and continued pilates instruction following a recent sports injury. Without her expert help and guidance I'm sure my recovery would have been much slower and more painful. I'd seriously recommend her friendly, holistic approach and expertise to anyone wishing to recover from injury faster and with confidence. Her fun and friendly Pilates classes have also helped tremendously in helping to build and maintain fitness. Thank you so much Elaine".

There exist about 65 species of kangaroos in the world. They include the small hare-wallabies, the cuddly tree-kangaroos, the rock-wallabies, and the grey and the red kangaroo. They live in Australia and New Guinea.
The red kangaroo is the tallest kangaroo and also the tallest living marsupial. From head to rump it measures 4.2 - 5.2 ft (130 - 160 cm), the tail 3.2 - 3.9 ft (100 - 120 cm), and it weighs 121 - 198 lb (55 - 90 kg) (male kangaroo).
When it stands upright, it can be up to 6.8 ft (210 cm) tall. With a body length of 8.2 - 13.3 inch (21 - 34 cm), the musky rat-kangaroo is the smallest kangaroo. Its tail is 2.3 - 4.7 inch (6 - 12 cm) long and it weighs between 0.7 and 1.4 lb (340 and 680 g).
Red kangaroos can cover a distance of 26.2 - 29.5 ft (8 - 9 m) with one jump und reach a height of 6.5 - 9.8 ft (2 - 3 m). The grey kangaroo can jump even further.
It manages distances of up to 44.2 ft (13.5 m) with one jump and is the second-tallest kangaroo after the red kangaroo.
Red kangaroos smell like mice. Eastern grey kangaroos smell like coffee beans, and western grey kangaroos of curry spices.
Where Does the Word Kangaroo Come From?
How the kangaroo has got its name is really a fascinating story: The British mariner James Cook spent some time in Australia in 1770, saw the predecessors of the kangaroo and asked in English: "What animal is this?" The Aborigines answered in their language: "Kangaroo!" Which means "I don't understand" in their language.
The faster a kangaroo jumps the less energy it consumes. This is due to an elastic tendon in their hind legs. When the kangaroo touches the ground, it stretches, rebounds and thus catapults the kangaroo into the air – like a spiral spring. Handy! Different to most other bipeds, they do not use their feet alternately but always hop along with both legs at the same time.
That's true. The female red kangaroos are more of a blue grey color. In order to impress the kangaroo ladies, male red kangaroos dye their coat red. Fortunately they don't have to go to the supermarket to buy some hair tint. Their skin gives off some kind of red powder.
After a short gestation period of about 33 days, the young kangaroo is born. At this moment it is only 0.98 inch (2.5 cm) long and weighs about 0.02 oz (0.8 g). It is smaller and lighter than a cherry.
It is naked, blind and completely defenseless. Therefore it climbs into the pouch of its mother after birth, where it can grow up well protected. After about 190 days it leaves the pouch for the first time. At the age of 18 months it is fully grown up.
Red pandas can retract their claws - like cats.

Deere & Co. and The Climate Corp., a subsidiary of Monsanto Co., have signed definitive agreements for Deere to acquire the Precision Planting equipment business and to enable exclusive near real-time data connectivity between certain John Deere farm equipment and the Climate FieldView platform. The agreements represent the industry's first and only near real-time in-cab wireless connection to John Deere equipment by a third party.
John May, president, agricultural solutions and chief information officer at Deere, said, "The agreements we are announcing allow John Deere to extend the range of retrofit options available from Precision Planting to many more products and into new geographies.
Under the terms of the agreements, Deere will purchase Precision Planting while Climate will retain the digital agriculture portfolio that has been integrated into the Climate FieldView platform. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the relevant antitrust authorities to the extent required.
The companies said customers will have the option to share their current and historical agronomic data between the John Deere Operations Center and the Climate FieldView platform and seamlessly execute agronomic prescriptions with John Deere equipment.


This article explains Orders of the Maryland Workers' Compensation Commission, what will happen next, and how we can appeal if you do not like the result.
I always call people about these Orders, but I often see my mail early or late so we may not be able to talk immediately. Call me if you get this and we have not yet spoken.
And you may need to review this information more than once. So I made this post you can read at your convenience.
This post covers all sorts of Orders, so some of it may not apply to your Order. Scroll down and read the sections below that do apply to the Order you received. The sections are divided by the benefit we were seeking at the hearing. Appeals are explained at the bottom.
Yes, these Orders are confusing! I have never liked the format of these Workers' Comp Orders! They are confusing in the way they are worded and organized. This makes them difficult to understand. This is particularly true of Orders for permanent partial disability benefits.
We will personally discuss the exact details of your Order, but here are some tips to help you figure out the details of your Order based on what was awarded.
The Order will usually first state what your temporary total disability benefits were, and when they were paid. This has almost always been paid already, and is usually not something we fought about at the hearing. But the Commission will set it out in your award anyway.
The actual award of permanent partial disability is usually set forth in a separate paragraph. When the Order awards money, they make that money payable over a certain period of time, at a certain rate per week – and you have to do the math to figure out the total.
Multiply the weekly payment by the total number of weeks awarded to get the total. Then subtract the fees and costs at the bottom (under the paragraph that starts "It is further Ordered . . . "). The amount remaining is what you will get in your pocket.
My fees are never more than 20% of the total award. Sometimes my percentage goes down if you get more money, but it will never be more than 20%. Costs that we advanced are reimbursed in this final award, and they should be stated clearly in this Order.
THERE ARE TWO PARAGRAPHS IN ALL CAPS THAT SHOW UP IN EVERY PERMANENCY ORDER. THEY MAKE IT SOUND LIKE YOUR AWARD IS TAXED. THAT IS NOT TRUE.
Pay no attention to these two paragraphs. This is for the insurance company – not for you. The insurer pays a tax on top of your award to fund those two entities. That tax is extra to them. It does not reduce your award.
I REALLY WISH THE WCC WOULD CHANGE THEIR ORDERS TO MAKE THIS CLEAR. AND I REALLY WISH THEY WOULD STOP WRITING THOSE PARAGRAPHS IN ALL CAPS LIKE THIS. IT IS ANNOYING.
Pay attention to the start date of the weekly payments. The WCC backdates the start of the weekly payments to the last date you received a check from the insurer. So the actual check you receive will be a "catch up" check covering all the payments due from the start date through today, and future checks every week until the total is paid off.
The insurer must pay within 15 days of date of the Order. They will likely send the first check to me directly, and we will call you when we get it.
If the Order approves medical care, go ahead and schedule it now. Tell the doctor's office you won. Give them a copy of the Order. I can also send them a copy of the Workers' Compensation Commission's Order if they need it.
Any treatment ordered will now be approved. Tell them to call the insurer for payment. If they have any problems, have them call my office.
If your claim was contested from the beginning, the Workers' Compensation Commission should have decided whether the claim is "allowed" (which means you won) or "disallowed" (which means you lost). Apparently we lawyers we can't just say "won" or "lost" like normal people!
If you wish to contest this decision by an appeal, there are tight time limits in which to do so. You can appeal this decision within 30 days of the date of the Order (not the date you received it – the actual date of the Order) by filing a Petition for Judicial Review in the Circuit Court of the Maryland County in which you live. If you do not file your appeal within 30 days of the date of the order, you will forever lose your right to appeal.
This is like filing a lawsuit in Circuit Court and asking for a jury trial. The first level in workers' comp is the hearing we just did before the administrative law judge. The second level is a jury trial. The jury will make the ultimate decision. The party filing the appeal is asking the jury to overturn the decision of the Commissioner.
Like any other jury trial, it can take up to a year to have your trial. There is nothing we can do about that. The Court is already forced to set it as early as possible under Maryland law. The Courts are just that backed up.
An appeal operates like any other jury trial. You should read my post under the personal injury section of our client resources page titled "Roadmap of a Lawsuit" if you want to know how it will progress.
Failure to file your appeal at the Courthouse within 30 days of the date of the Order will forever prevent you from appealing this decision. Call me immediately if you think we need to appeal, and be mindful of that deadline.
And you do not have to pay anything back if the insurer eventually wins the appeal. They will instead receive a credit against any future benefits they may have to pay you.
Again, call me if we haven't spoken yet. If not, I will be calling you soon. Each Workers' Compensation Order is unique, and most of the time they are a little confusing unless you are used to seeing them.


If you're looking for a new garage door for your home, the first question you will probably want to answer is which style of garage door to buy. For many, a modern garage door is the answer. If you have a modern-style home, you want a garage door to complement your home's exterior for a complete, unifying look.
Modern steel garage doors are typically characterized by steel construction and glass or acrylic panels, are on-trend, and can increase the curb appeal of your home.
What Are Modern Garage Doors Made Of?
There are a number of steel options that can make up a garage door, but many of today's modern garage doors are made of aluminum frames with tempered glass panels.
Aluminum is popular because it's low-maintenance and affordable, while still giving you the durability of a steel frame. You can also opt for insulated glass.
If you choose insulated glass, you will want to pay attention to the door's R-Value. The R-Value is a measure of how effective a material is at blocking heat or cold transfer. The higher the R-Value, the better an insulator your garage door is.
Insulated garage doors can help save you on energy costs by preventing hot air from escaping or entering your home, keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
One of the most captivating features of residential modern steel garage doors is glass panels. You have a number of options when it comes to your modern garage door glass panels, including clear glass, frosted glass, and mirrored glass.
More and more homeowners today are choosing the clear glass option. Why? For one, clear glass creates an airy feel — you generally get the sensation of more space, which people often appreciate. Clear glass also lets your garage get the maximum benefit from natural light. If you enjoy working in your garage, being able to do so with enriching and energizing natural light can be a huge benefit.
Entering your garage in the morning and being greeted by the bright morning sun is also something you may find more desirable than stumbling into a dark, closed-in garage. The glow of the setting sun from behind as you come home and close your garage door for the evening can create a feeling of warmth you will appreciate.
If you are seeking a beautiful new modern steel garage door, Ole and Lena's Garage Doors offers a wide selection of durable, great-looking Clopay® doors. Clopay®, known as "America's Favorite Garage Door," are the established standard in garage door quality, and their modern steel garage doors are second to none.
AVANTE™ COLLECTION doors are made from low-maintenance, commercial-grade aluminum available in a variety of finishes, including White, Brown, Clear, Bronze or Black Anodized and Ultra-Grain® Light Cherry or Dark Cherry. You can choose from a number of glass styles, including clear glass and acrylic, and high R-Value insulated glass is also an option.
AVANTE™ doors also come with integral reinforcement for extra strength, heavy-duty steel ball bearing rollers with nylon for extra-quiet operation and a vinyl bottom weather-seal in a rust-free aluminum retainer to protect your garage from the elements.
These garage doors look great and are built to last, so you can expect to enjoy years of seamless operation with minimal effort on your part. Don't forget to take a look at our line of LiftMaster™ garage door openers, for high-tech, nearly effortless garage door operation to go with your new, modern Clopay® garage door.
If you're ready to completely reshape the exterior of your home, delight your family and impress your neighbors with a brand new modern steel Clopay® garage door, we at Ole and Lena's Garage Doors are ready to serve you. Whether you're interested in an AVANTE™ COLLECTION door or one of the other amazing Clopay® garage door styles available, we have plenty of inventory and can match you up with the perfect door.

Newly-extended Edmond Sumner's development a key component to Pacers' future

Newly-extended Edmond Sumner's development a key component to Pacers' future Based on the direction the Pacers have been heading for the last week since, Sumner's development is of monumental importance. Check out this story on IndyStar.com: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nba/pacers/2019/07/06/nba-summer-league-important-edmond-sumner-after-contract-extension/1664821001/
J. Michael, Indianapolis Star Published 2:36 p.m. ET July 6, 2019
Steve Gansey talks about the progress he saw from the first day of practice ahead of the NBA Summer League. Tyler Kraft, Indianapolis Star
LAS VEGAS – The next chapter in the career of Edmond Sumner, playing for the second year in a row for the Indiana Pacers in Las Vegas summer league, opens today.
The 6-6 combo guard will start next to point guard Aaron Holiday when they play the Memphis Grizzlies at Cox Pavilion at 7 p.m. ET.
Sumner was on a two-way contract last season, had it converted to a full NBA contract and was entering a team option year for 2019-20. The Pacers instead chose to tear up that deal and give him a three-year contract, a move IndyStar reported would happen last week, slightly above the league minimum at $6 million. The final year is a team option.

The security helps. Sumner tore a knee ligament in his final season at Xavier. He dropped from a first-round selection to No. 52.
"It's not in the back of your mind. You can go out there and play freely, not worrying about too much," Sumner said of his new deal that becomes official now that the league-wide moratorium is over. "I"m definitely past my knee. I haven't mentally been worried about that stuff in a long time."
The other starters for today's opener are expected to be Brian Bowen, Alize Johnson and Jaylen Johnson.
Top draft pick Goga Bitadze, a native of Georgia who started in EuroLeague, is having visa issues and hasn't been able to join the Pacers for mini-camp and could miss most, if not all, of summer league.
Based on the direction the Pacers have been heading for the last week since the NBA free agency period opened, Sumner's development is of monumental importance.
They've skewed younger, more athletic, more length and want players who can plug multiple spots. Sumner only played point guard at Xavier, but his other attributes make him enticing as a 2 or 3.
"It's great to see he's put on a lot of muscle with that athleticism its scary seeing him playing," said Steve Gansey, the coach of the G League Mad Ants who is running the Pacers' summer league team. "When we saw him play in a scrimmage the other night, he really separated himself from a lot of guys."
Holiday is locked in as the primary backup at point guard for the Pacers. How far Sumner can rise and push others ahead of him for playing time will depend on how he progresses.
His family will be in attendance at Cox Pavilion. He said he'll wait to celebrate his new deal with them after the ink has dried on the paperwork.
He'll celebrate more later if he's able to live up to his potential.

Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment

Visit the journal homepage for submission instructions and more information about the publication
Read articles on ScienceDirect
Impact Factor:
The aim of the Journal is to publish research results of the highest quality and of lasting importance on the subject of geomechanics, with the focus on applications to geological energy production and storage, and the interaction of soils and rocks with the natural and engineered environment. Special attention is given to concepts and developments of new energy geotechnologies that comprise intrinsic mechanisms protecting the environment against a potential engineering induced damage, hence warranting sustainable usage of energy resources.
The scope of the journal is broad, including fundamental concepts in geomechanics and mechanics of porous media, the experiments and analysis of novel phenomena and applications. Of special interest are issues resulting from coupling of particular physics, chemistry and biology of external forcings, as well as of pore fluid/gas and minerals to the solid mechanics of the medium skeleton and pore fluid mechanics. The multi-scale and inter-scale interactions between the phenomena and the behavior representations are also of particular interest. Contributions to general theoretical approach to these issues, but of potential reference to geomechanics in its context of energy and the environment are also most welcome.
The purpose of the Journal is to foster scientific understanding of various processes in geomaterials, both induced by technology and natural, and their relationship to the underlying mechanisms. The intrinsic nature of coupling of chemical, biological, thermal and mechanical properties, variables and fields distinguishes the related problems from those in classical geomechanics. Thus, emphasis is placed on the development and fusion of fundamental concepts in mechanics, physics, geochemistry and geo-biology and applications of such concepts to novel technologies related to geological energy production and storage as well as to the prevention of the damage to the environment, in which solid and fluid mechanics of geomaterials is of relevance.

New York Says Render Unto Cuomo
Catholics and Jews take Covid-19 restrictions to the Supreme Court.

Despite politicians stoking division over vaccine distribution, Moderna and Pfizer are on track to seek permission within weeks for emergency use in the U.S. Images: Reuters/Zuma Press/Getty Images Composite: Mark Kelly
'We have a couple of unique clusters, frankly, which are more religious organizations, and that's what we're targeting." That's how Gov. Andrew Cuomo, talking to CNN, described a recent tightening of his Covid-19 regulations. Is it any wonder that religious New Yorkers are now seeking the shelter of the First Amendment?
This week two Orthodox Jewish synagogues, affiliated with the organization Agudath Israel, appealed to the Supreme Court, asking to be freed of Mr. Cuomo's order limiting houses of worship in certain zones to 10 or 25 people, no matter their normal capacity. The synagogues say they had "carefully and successfully complied" with mask requirements and social-distancing rules, and they'd split the traditional service into "several separate gatherings."

England know behaviour must improve: Moeen Ali
Agencies10 Dec 2017 5:05 PM GMT
Perth: England's players know their off-field behaviour must improve, says all-rounder Moeen Ali.
Batsman Ben Duckett was dropped from the Ashes tour game against a Cricket Australia XI for pouring a drink over bowler James Anderson in a Perth bar.
"We're all grown men and we should know how to behave," said Moeen, who captained England for the drawn game at Richardson Park.
"The individual needs to be responsible for his own behaviour."
Cricket Australia XI closed the two-day game on 269-8 in pursuit of 294 to win.
The hosts had declared their first innings on 151-4, 163 behind England, who then batted 20 overs for 130-3 to leave 37 overs for the chase.
The Duckett incident came after wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow was accused of 'head-butting' Australia opening batsman Cameron Bancroft at the beginning of the tour and all-rounder Ben Stokes was arrested following an altercation outside a Bristol nightclub in September. Both Bairstow and Bancroft eventually said their incident was "without malice", while Stokes is still waiting for a Crown Prosecution Service decision on whether he will be charged. What really happened between Bancroft & Bairstow? As cricketers and professionals, the scrutiny that is on us - we have to be careful," added Moeen.
"It's important we inspire the younger generation to take up the game. These things could possibly turn them away and that's not what we want.
"Maybe the culture needs to change slightly. It's not always easy. Guys are on tour for a very long time and they feel like they want to go out - but when you do go out you have to behave yourself."
Speaking after the Duckett incident came to light on Saturday, coach Trevor Bayliss said he "might review who is in the team" following the off-field misdemeanours.
Anderson, who has played in 131 Tests, is England's all-time leading wicket-taker and there is no suggestion the 35-year-old did anything wrong.
Moeen, who does not drink alcohol, said: "We're playing for England, so we wear the England badge wherever we go. Times have changed. Players can't do things that they would have done in the past."
