I never really jumped on the James Bay band wagon but I always could appreciate how talented and raw he was. But with his highly anticipated sophomore studio album due later this year as well as some big coveted festival spots coming up I couldn't help but get a little excited over his new single. "Wild Love" is an ambitious ballad that hears him welcoming a heavier pop production into his already raw rock-ballad genre. This isn't the only change he's made for this era, he's also cut off his hair and removed that stupid hat that he never seemed to take off. Coincidence that since he's done that he's got a new bold sound? I think not. And I'm loving it. This song starts off with distorted vocals and uneven synths before the gospel lead chorus ignites and will have you feeling all euphoric inside. The track explores wanting a care-free and daring relationship with someone and being able to give them the best kind of love that anyone could offer. "I wanna give you wild love. The kind that never slows down. I wanna take you high up, let our hearts be the only sound". It's super cute and will have you instantly swooning over him and wishing he would choose you to give all that love to. It's a track that grows on you with each listen and while it may be quite sonically different to his previous tracks it does hold onto the main roots that made you fall in love with him the first time round.


The campaign is based on a devastating statistic that 40% of South African men assault their partners daily (South African Medical Research Council, 2017).
The holistic and long-term approach of this movement aims to drive awareness, create conversation and provide tools for people to take positive action as a means of driving change. #NoExcuse refers to there being no excuse for men to perpetrate any form of violence, and no excuse for people to stand by and do nothing when others abuse. The #NoExcuse website features the number of people that have pledged to support the campaign as well as a 5-part webisode (available in English, Zulu and Xhosa) that shares the story of a woman who has suffered at the hand of violence.
Andrea Quaye, Vice President Marketing, SAB and AB InBev Africa, said: "Our decision to be an inaugural supporter of the #NoExcuse movement was driven by Carling Black Label's status as a beacon of masculinity. As the largest beer brand in the country, it is our responsibility to ensure alcohol is consumed responsibly and to use the power of our brand to challenge South African men and our consumers to take action. While many consumers of alcohol drink responsibly and in moderation, it is clear that some people who commit acts of violence have consumed, and often misused, alcohol.

Bob's back pages
Wed, Apr 5, 2006 at 12:00 am
Trying to figure Bob Dylan out is a tough task — just ask the man himself.
In a 1984 European press conference, Dylan told reporters: "I don't think I'm gonna be really understood until maybe 100 years from now. What I've done, what I'm doing, nobody else does or has done. When I'm dead and gone, maybe people will realize that, and then figure it out. I don't think anything I've done has been even mildly hinted at."
But it's not for lack of trying, judging from the number of books about Dylan out there. His work has been dissected from every angle in biographies and analytical treatises. His career has been carefully — even obsessively — documented in words and pictures. It seems like we're entering a period of re-examination of his works, fueled in part by Martin Scorsese's documentary No Direction Home and Dylan's own autobiography Chronicles Vol. 1.
The Bob Dylan Scrapbook, 1955-1966 (Simon & Schuster) is, at heart, nothing but a giant pop-up book for adults. This companion to the aforementioned documentary has reproductions of ticket stubs, pencil-scrawled lyric sheets on ersatz notebook paper, promo photos and miniature record store stand-up displays. There's also a CD with interviews with Dylan. The text, written by Experience Music Project muckety-muck Robert Santelli, is lively and informative. It's total eye (and mind) candy and a great way to engage in some serious Zimmy fetishism.
Another hulking hardcover, Dylan: Visions, Portraits, & Back Pages (DK) takes a comprehensive and career-spanning approach. Edited by Mark Blake, it's a collection of articles from the excellent British magazine Mojo (including contributions from the Motor City's own respected rock-crit Ben Edmonds). Most of the best books out there deal with Dylan's early career, while this book takes us through Dylan's enigmatic later works in a thrilling overview.
Another new volume with great visual appeal is Forever Young (DaCapo), which features photos by a Michigander, Holland native Douglas R. Gilbert. In 1965, Gilbert was fresh out of MSU. He was on assignment shooting a pre-superstardom Dylan for Look magazine. In a moment of spectacular squareness, his editors killed the piece, leaving the photos unseen until now.
And what a treasure this collection of photos is. Young Dylan is handsome, confident, at ease. We see him teaching guru-ji Allen Ginsberg how to play his harmonium; we see him jamming on electric bass with a fresh-faced, pre-Spoonful John Sebastian. There are images of the pair tooling around Woodstock on Dylan's infamous Triumph 750 motorcycle that would put him out of commission a couple years later.
What makes the book even more valuable is the accompanying text by Detroit-bred music writing force Dave Marsh. Marsh deftly provides context and subtext for the photos. His greatest strength as a writer has always been his ability to show the humanity of his subjects and to connect music to real life. He does both here, and, coupled with Gilbert's photos, the reader comes away with a deeper understanding of Dylan.
Marsh writes that "these pictures suggest that, maybe, instead of describing the young Dylan as purely mercurial, capable of whipping right around from Blonde on Blonde to John Wesley Harding to Nashville Skyline, we ought to see him as someone who was many contradictory things at once: roving bohemian, young folk idealist, rock 'n' roller on the make, poet, jokerman, romantic magpie, attentive lover and budding family man. As complicated as anyone else, maybe more so, but not out of human range."
And that's what Dylan has been trying to tell us for years. The biggest deal in recent years was Dylan's autobiography, Chronicles Vol. 1 (Simon & Schuster). I had a hard time finishing the book when it first came out — it seemed dreadfully boring. Now, in my second pass, I'm enjoying it more. It's good to hear these stories told in Dylan's own voice, and the overwhelming impression you get is just how suffocating the whole "voice of a generation" thing was for him. But Chronicles is better understood when read alongside the late Robert Shelton's No Direction Home (DaCapo). Originally published in 1986, the DaCapo edition is a 2003 reprint. It's an affectionate document that's thoroughly researched and includes interviews with Dylan's parents, high school friends, ex-girlfriends and other insiders. It gives the straight facts where Dylan supplies color.
Shelton penned a 1961 review of a Dylan performance for The New York Times that is widely credited with giving the young folksinger a big early break. It's through that early connection that Shelton was granted rare access to Dylan, and it gives the book a perspective of a peer rather than a fan.
The result is a straightforward journalistic account — sympathetic but not sycophantic, with plenty of insider scoop on the early days, when Shelton was a bona fide insider. As the book traces Dylan's career through the '70s and into the early '80s, it becomes a little more perfunctory, suffering from the lack of insider insight. Shelton died in the mid-'90s, so sadly we don't get to hear his take on Dylan's renaissance of recent years.
For analysis of the brand-new Bob Dylan and Philosophy (Open Court), I turned to my wife Heather (who, aside from being a big Dylan fan, is brilliant and holds a degree in philosophy). Her take? This collection of essays is hit-and-miss. Some pieces are transcendent while others are so ivory tower that it takes all the fun out of liking music. High points include Doug Anderson's meditation on the theme of love on Planet Waves, Martin Van Hees' discussion of free will in Dylan's work, and James S. Spiegel's take on God, St. Augustine and Socrates. Low points? Another (yawn) feminist critique of "Just Like a Woman."
A.J. Weberman is a self-styled "Dylanologist" and the inventor of the form of journalism known as "garbology" for picking through Zimmy's cans. In his new Dylan to English Dictionary (Yippie Museum Press) he presents a reference work that attempts to get at the hidden meanings happening in Dylan's songs. The book is demented, whacked-out, nigh-on unintelligible and a good advertisement for why unlimited access to LSD in one's youth is probably a bad thing. It's also wildly entertaining. I have long believed that if Weberman hadn't appeared, Dylan would have had to invent a gadfly like him. He plays the role of the Greek chorus, pointing toward a deeper level of meaning behind the language Dylan uses. Definitely one for the semiotics buffs out there.
Like the Night (Revisited) (Helter Skelter) is CP Lee's account of the famed 1966 Manchester Free Trade Hall concert (aka the "Judas" show). It does an excellent job decontructing why Dylan going elctric was so shocking. The British folk scene then was led by people like Bert Lloyd and Ewan MacColl and was rife with rules dictating what songs a person could play, and how they should be performed. Lee also gives a blow-by-blow of the concert, including interviews with the young gals who passed Dylan a note telling him to send the band home.
Also of note:
• Keys to the Rain (Billboard): This reference tome by Oliver Trager bills itself as "The Definitive Bob Dylan Encyclopedia," and it lives up to that boast. It is an invaluable resource that this writer finds himself turning to frequently.
• Tarantula (Scribner): Dylan's first book, 1966's Tarantula, has long been reputed to be unreadable. This 2004 trade paperback edition proves that that reputation is largely deserved.
• Crawdaddy founder Paul Williams opines that Dylan's work is best understood as the artist performs it himself. He has written a trilogy of books in the Bob Dylan Performing Artist series covering the years 1960-73, 1974-86 and 1986-90 (and beyond). He takes an analytical approach that is obsessive, detailed and borderline geeky. Not recommended for beginners.
• The Definitive Bob Dylan Songbook (Amsco): What better way to dig deeper into Dylan's songs than to try to play them yourself? Try wrapping your lips around lines like "Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn, suicide remarks are torn from the fool's gold mouthpiece the hollow horn plays wasted words proves to warn that he not busy being born is busy dying." It ain't easy!
• Rolling Thunder Logbook (Da Capo): Playwright Sam Shepard gives a gripping and artistic account of Dylan's 1975 Rolling Thunder tour, which was perhaps the greatest manifestation of the lineage between beat poetry, hippie mysticism and rock 'n' roll. It was a masterpiece in high-concept high-art high jinks. Shepard was hired on to write a script for a film to come out of the tour, and he accompanied the group as it played live shows and took side trips to film scenes for the movie.
• Mayor of MacDougal Street by Dave Van Ronk with Elijah Wald (DaCapo): While not entirely about Dylan, folk superstar Van Ronk was a major player in the Greenwich Village folk scene. He and his wife Teri put Dylan up in his earliest days in the Village. Though the book gives some anecdotal insight into Dylan, its main strength is its portrait of those wild 'n' wooly days, when there really was music in the cafes at night and revolution in the air.

This oughta crack some people up but I think the last time I played a FPS I really loved was Goldeneye on the N64. I have just recently gotten back into computer gaming, though, on a small scale and look forward to getting back to the Hitman, Metal Gear Solid, and Call of Duty Franchises, after I finish Ghost Recon Wildlands (like I said, I'm just getting back into gaming so it's taking me awhile to play through the game, but there is good value there for someone who doesn't play all day long).
Quake 2 will always be special for me. Released just in time for me to get an internet connection and our phone bill got a bit higher due to that.
Got to know a lot of new people from all over the country from playing in clans back then, still have contact with some of the to this day.
Because, "But can it run Crysis?"
Crysis...nought said! But Destiny 2 is my choice due to the fast gameplay and the rpg element.
My favourite game is FPS game is Counter Strike Global Offensive and I love it because because it has low learning curve compare to other games and free drops every week which can be sold to buy new skins and the money spent on it can be withdrawn and share with other games within Steam.
Definitely Counter Strike, all-around classic and competitive game for all ages!

These Western Suburb residents endorse the Tunnel Option to save the Thebby!
If you were to hear that a large crowd of people group together at Adelaide's iconic venue, Thebarton Theatre, you'd probably expect that they were dancing to a live band or laughing at a comedian. However, in the case of yesterday evening, close to 700 people came to Thebby for a public meeting about its future.
The Inner West South Road Action Group organised a public meeting as the first step in their campaign to urge the State Government to reject the evaluated highway and sunken road options for the section of South Road from River Torrens to Anzac Highway as arguments were made for the tunnel option.
Director of Weslo Group, Bob Lott, said the campaign wasn't just about saving the iconic theatre, but how it's made a presence within the community. "Anything other than a tunnel will destroy this precinct. This vibrant precinct must not become a sterile area," says Mr. Lott.
Concerns that were raised in the meeting centered around how locals would be affected by the change. Resident and convenor of Inner West South Road Action Group, Cath Cashen, addressed that the surrounding neighbourhood would be changed for the worst with hundreds of properties to be acquired, as well as no pedestrian crossovers and causing a split in the community. Similarly, James Franzon of the Hilton Hotel raised a concern about the impact on his business, especially if the State Government was to go with an option outside of the proposed tunnel. "A tunnel will preserve the community, heritage, schools, and churches and the South Australian economy will benefit. The cheapest option is not the best option," says Mr. Franzon.
Mayor of West Torrens, Michael Coxon, says that the City of West Torrens was committed to the tunnel option for that section of South Road. He said a tunnel would be safer, more community-friendly, heritage friendly, good for business, good for investment. "Whilst it might be the more expensive option, this must be measured against how a tunnel that would serve the community and the state of South Australia into the future," says Mayor Coxon.
The meeting came to a unanimous decision to endorse the tunnel option, stating: "This meeting of residents, business owners and concerned citizens resolved that any completion of the North-South corridor should be in the form of a tunnel – built in a manner which preserves our heritage and maintains the integrity of our suburbs; and calls on the Inner West South Road Action Group to continue to advocate on our behalf and keep us informed."
The community is still continuing to fight for the Thebby to still remain in place, with a Change.Org petition that was made to prevent the theatre from being demolished has reached over 60,000 signatures and counting.

A synthetic biologist has created artificial cells that can "talk" to natural cells — but are they really alive?
How does one go about building a living cell from non-living components? And how will we know if we've succeeded — or even if we're headed in the right direction? These are some of the questions that synthetic biologist Sheref Mansy, a TED Fellow, has been striving to answer at the Mansy Lab at the University of Trento in Italy. For the past six years,Mansy (TEDxUnTN Talk: Imitating cellular life) has been trying to make artificial cells that can interact with natural cells. His team recently achieved a notable success: their partially artificial cells can "hear" molecules naturally released from bacteria, and they can also synthesize and send molecules back in reply. Here, Mansy explains the science behind the breakthrough and discusses the potential implications.
Could an artificial cell pass the cellular version of the Turing test? A Turing test is a way of evaluating the intelligence of a machine by assessing how well it communicates. "In the classical Turing test, you have a machine communicating with a person," says Mansy. If the human thinks they are communicating with another human rather than a machine — in other words, if the machine's responses are indistinguishable from a human's — then the machine passes as intelligent.
All living things can communicate chemically with one another. "If we can build artificial cells that can sense the molecules naturally secreted from living cells and then synthesize a chemical message to go back to the natural cells, we can observe whether our artificials are lifelike enough to trick the natural cells into thinking that they are talking to a natural cell," Mansy says.


Cloud Foundry has built-in health management and self-healing capabilities. But when delivering a Cloud Foundry-based service, it is not sufficient to monitor and heal the Cloud Foundry components, since the end-to-end functionality of the service also depends on the state of the entire infrastructure surrounding and supporting Cloud Foundry. This includes the hardware, virtualization and networking platforms on which it runs, the CF Services available, the user interface, and even the billing systems.
To this effect, at Swisscom we have built an overarching Health Management platform called Orchard, which not only monitors and notifies about failures in our Application Cloud platform, but has the ability to trigger automated responses to heal those failures automatically. To challenge Orchard's abilities, we have also developed Chaos Heidi, a self-disruption platform that allows us to cause failure scenarios of different types.
In this talk we will describe Orchard and Chaos Heidi, including their motivation and architecture, their current implementations, and our challenges and ideas for the future.

Spencer cryptography exhibit connects art, mathematics, computing science
LAWRENCE — His brilliance may never be fully appreciated, but a small exhibition this spring at the Spencer Museum of Art seeks to help illuminate the groundbreaking work of Alan Turing, the British mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst and pioneering computer scientist.
"Cryptograph," which runs through July 20, has been organized in conjunction with the many celebrations taking place around the world in honor of the centenary of Turing (1912-1954), and was conceived in consultation and collaboration with KU's Information and Telecommunication Technology Center and Biodiversity Institute.
The exhibition features works from the Spencer's permanent collections that resonate with the kinds of questions that drove Turing's research: finding meaning in patterns, and finding connections between mathematics and computing, intelligence and natural form.
Turing's world-changing innovations include the Turing Machine, a conceptual machine that builds on the notion of the algorithm and lays the foundation of modern computing. As a cryptanalyst during World War II, Turing's breakthroughs in logic allowed him to decipher the German encrypting device known as the Enigma Machine, which was used extensively in communication between German U-boats. Turing was also deeply involved in the idea of "machine intelligence," and he developed a test for artificial intelligence that is still in use today. Late in his career Turing became fascinated with the field of mathematical biology, a field that explores the mathematical underpinnings of morphogenesis, the origins and evolution of biological form.

Women's stories often get lost because so much of women's history resides in private places such as diaries, family scrapbooks, family letters, or papers stored in boxes in family attics. Women often are hard to find, and once found, can be hard to track over time as they change their names when they get married. And sometimes they marry more than once, which increases the challenge. This was what fourteen Fort Worth women took on when they agreed to write a chapter each on the history of women in their city. From pioneer women to the movers and shakers of the mid-twentieth century, "Grace and Gumption" explores the lives and careers of the prominent and not-so prominent alike, uncovering a fascinating web of connection to show readers just how bustling Fort Worth was shaped by the distaff side. Early in the process of planning the book, certain parameters were needed: from choosing the themes or categories of women's endeavors to deciding where to draw the line for inclusion. To avoid problems of inclusion and omission, the contributors agreed that they would only write about women who are deceased. Developing the categories to assign was difficult, because you can't pigeonhole women. Women always have been multi-taskers and many were relevant to more than one chapter because their talents and contributions reached in many directions. Over the course of a summer, contributors met at monthly gatherings to discuss their progress. Meetings often concluded with authors bargaining with one another over who "got" which multitalented woman. The goal was not an encyclopedia but to gather as many women's stories as possible out of the attics and into a public place, to provide snapshots of women's contributions that others may one day enlarge upon. In the process, contributors learned a whole lot about the growth of a city and became a small and close-knit community themselves. The result - a labor of love by women for women.

'RHOP': Is Ashley Darby Thinking of Leaving the Show?
Christina Montford
Things are never calm in Potomac. At least not with the women of The Real Housewives of Potomac. They are always calling each other out for something or throwing shade.
Anytime now my sweet son, we have made it to the finish line! My darlings, this is the happiest feeling I could ever have right now. Experiencing motherhood and preparing to hold this being in my arms gives more joy to my heart than is conceivable! Thank you for all of the wonderful messages and supportive notes you've sent to us. They have been so helpful and uplifting. Much love and light to every one of you ♥ #40weeks #BabyD #rhop
A post shared by Ashley Boalch Darby (@ashleyboalchdarby) on Jul 2, 2019 at 3:42pm PDT
The latest drama has been between Ashley Darby and the rest of the women as they continue to spread rumors about Ashley' husband, Michael Darby.
What are the women saying?
This week, the show is set to follow as the women continue to confront Ashley about the rumors floating around that her husband wants to sleep with a man.
Ashley may leave the group
In the preview for this week's episode, Ashley makes it clear to Gizelle Bryant that she is thinking about leaving the show if the women continue to talk about her husband the way that they have been.
"'If these women are going to keep saying these things about me and bashing me like this, I don't really want you hanging around them,'" she says, repeating what Michael told her."'I don't want them in our lives.'"
Bryant attempts to tell Ashley that Candiace Dillard and Robyn Dixon's intentions were not malicious, but Ashley clearly is not swayed and doesn't care.
Dearest friends, Michael and I greatly appreciate the support of Oz that we have received over the last 4 years. After much consideration and discussion, we have decided to close the restaurant as we grow our family & pursue other business ventures. With the rapid changes happening in our lives, we cannot give Oz the proper time and commitment it deserves. We will always be grateful for the incredible team who puts so much commitment into making Oz a neighborhood hangout, and the great patrons who spent time laughing and eating with us. There really is no business like hospitality. We will be serving our final extended brunch on Sunday, 6/30. Provided Baby D does not decide to make his arrival before then (or on that day), Michael and I would appreciate you joining us. Thank you for a great 4 years! ❤ #rhop #ashleydarby #ozarlington
A post shared by Ashley Boalch Darby (@ashleyboalchdarby) on Jun 28, 2019 at 7:33am PDT
"I'm not f**king caring about Candiace," she says. "I'm really concerned about Robyn. She did not have my back at all, as a friend, not even as a person. It's like, if you had these strong convictions, I just don't understand why it wouldn't have been brought to my attention before."
Bryant continues to try to reason with Ashley.
"Forget whether or not Michael wants to suck a penis," she says. "Let's forget that. Robyn is like, yo, Ashley's my friend. I care about her. If Michael is saying this, this is just not cool. Gay, straight, don't — that's not the point. It's like, this ain't cool, because of you. That's my issue. That's Robyn's issue. Because we love you. We don't want to see you go through anything negative."
"I appreciate it," Ashley says. "The way that it was presented last night, when I was ambushed, that was not genuine concern. That was malarky."
Problems in Ashley and Michael's marriage
This wasn't the first time that Michael and Ashley's marriage has been threatened.
Last year, Michael was charged with sexual assault. While the charges were eventually dropped, it was still a rough time for Ashley.
"Those allegations that came were completely dismissed and all of the people who were there and were witnesses can attest that it didn't happen," she told The Daily Dish. "This was an allegation that was proven to not be true, yet was treated with the same potency as what is true, and that's really frustrating for me."
Hi babes! I got your inquiries – this cute two piece ensemble came from @hotmiamistyles. I bought it last year, but perhaps it'll hit the shelves again #RHOP #AshleyDarby #ootd #outfitofthatday
A post shared by Ashley Boalch Darby (@ashleyboalchdarby) on Jun 19, 2019 at 2:28pm PDT
Though it was definitely a rough patch in their relationship, Ashley never doubted her husband's innocence.
"I made a commitment to Michael when we got married that I would stand with him, in sickness and in health and all those vows that I can't remember, but I made that commitment," she said. "If I had a question of Michael's character or if I had any doubts or apprehensions about who he is, for certain, I would have approached this situation very differently, and I would have been transparent with everybody about the fact that I was questioning him, his intentions, and the truth. But because I have no doubts, there's absolutely nothing in my mind — especially because I was there when this alleged incident happened, literally standing right there — I feel just so confident in my husband. I believe him 100 percent."


In Tanzania most goat production is extensive and aimed at selling live animals with limited direct impact on food security and nutrition. The Crop and Goat Project (CGP), implemented in Kongwa and Mvomero districts, aimed at improving income, food security and nutrition of poor households by promoting dairy goat production integrated with cassava and sweet potatoes. Within the project area, village leaders generated a list of 70 potential goat recipients in each of the 4 intervention villages, based on resources and capacity. Out of these, 108 households received a total of 229 dairy goats over the project period. The objective of this study is to evaluate the impacts of introducing dairy goats on income, assets and food consumption.
A baseline survey at project initiation was conducted among 552 households in 2012, including all households which later received goats. Out of these, 373 households were interviewed a second time in 2014. This sample includes 98 of the beneficiary households, 102 potential beneficiary households, not having received a project goat, and 120 non-potential households in project villages. Analysis of the baseline data revealed that beneficiary households were different to potential and non-potential households in terms of non-livestock assets and food consumption. Therefore, the study applies a difference-in-differences (DD) approach in combination with propensity score matching to overcome the observed bias for estimating the impact of the project intervention.
Results from the econometric analysis show the interventions had no significant effect on livestock or total income. Unsurprisingly, the project does appear to have significantly increased household ownership of small ruminants and total livestock. We also find a significant increase in the food consumption score of the survey respondent in project households, but no significant effect on the consumption score of the index child. Finally, we see a significant increase in the respondent's frequency of consuming dairy products, though none for the index child.
Results suggest that dairy goats in this context have a stronger impact on household nutrition than on income although a better understanding of intra-household food allocation is required to support child nutrition.

Four banks plan to sell Kingfisher Airlines' assets to ARCs
PTI February 19, 2016
As many as four banks are contemplating selling assets of beleaguered air carrier Kingfisher Airlines to asset reconstruction companies (ARCs) to recover part of their dues.
Led by SBI, the 17 bank consortium is struggling to recover Rs 6,963 crore debt due from Kingfisher Airlines.
"Three-four banks are looking for stake sale to ARCs to realise some value out of Kingfisher Airlines assets that they posses," sources said.
Without disclosing the names of the banks, they added that these lenders are weighing options and are in talks with asset reconstruction companies.
Earlier this week, Punjab National Bank, one of banks of the consortium, declared Kingfisher Airlines, its guarantors Vijay Mallya and United Breweries Holdings as wilful defaulters.
PNB became the third public sector lender to declare the beleaguered air carrier a wilful defaulter. Earlier, United Bank of India and State Bank of India had done the same.
As per RBI guidelines, once declared as wilful defaulters, no additional facilities will be granted to these borrowers by any bank or financial institution.
Besides, such companies and promoters will be debarred from the institutional finance for floating new ventures for a period of 5 years from the date of removal of their name from the list of wilful defaulters.
The SBI has the highest exposure of Rs 1,600 crore to the beleaguered Kingfisher Airlines.
Other banks that have exposure to the airline include Punjab National Bank and IDBI Bank (Rs 800 crore each), Bank of India (Rs 650 crore), Bank of Baroda (Rs 550 crore), Central Bank of India (Rs 410 crore).
UCO Bank has to recover Rs 320 crore, Corporation Bank (Rs 310 crore), State Bank of Mysore (Rs 150 crore), Indian Overseas Bank (Rs 140 crore), Federal Bank (Rs 90 crore), Punjab & Sind Bank (Rs 60 crore) and Axis Bank (Rs 50 crore).
As part of the recovery process, the SBI-led bank consortium has decided to auction Kingfisher House in Mumbai next month.
SBICAP Trustee Company Ltd, which took possession of the property last year, will do the e-auctioning of the 2,401.70 square meter property on March 17.
The Trustee Company has kept reserve price of Rs 150 crore and the bid increment amount is Rs 5 lakh.

I have to believe that had something to do with it... "Philosophical differences" Alleva probably wanted to give him a raise.
If they can play this year, I agree. But if we had to chose between 2 guys who aren't eligible until next year, I think we need a DT much worse.
Any one figure out the meaning of the announced attendance of 39,476?
That's a good question. Certainly I could have missed it but I don't recall seeing many press conferences with him recently.

Feds launching new anti-money laundering units in B.C., Alberta, Ontario, Quebec
Posted on December 11, 2020 by Cal
Federal Public Safety Minister Bill Blair says his government is funding nearly $100 million for new anti-money laundering units in Canada's four largest provinces.
The government is aiming to have the new integrated money laundering investigative teams up and running in B.C., Alberta, Ontario and Quebec by the end of March, Blair told CKNW's Lynda Steele Show, Friday.
Blair said the new units were "in direct response" to concerns raised in British Columbia's Cullen Commission, a public inquiry investigating money laundering in the province.

The inquiry has so far heard testimony alleging widespread money laundering in the province's casinos, along with lax regulation.
"(B.C. Attorney General David Eby) often points out British Columbia needs dedicated expert resources to conduct these investigations and prosecute these very complex matters. And so we have now released $98.9 million in order to establish these four teams," Blair said.
"We also are providing them with new hardware updates for the data systems because data such an important part of these investigations."

Along with the new provincial integrated units, Blair said Ottawa was also creating a new organization in B.C. that would bring law enforcement officials together with representatives from industries targeted by money launderers.
The new Counter Illicit Finance Alliance will involve representatives from banking and credit card institutions, and could also include the casino and luxury real estate sectors, Blair said.
Previous reports by retired former Mountie Peter German found both casinos and the real estate market to be highly vulnerable to money launderers in B.C.

Blair also responded to criticism from Austin Cullen, head of B.C.'s Cullen Commission who said in his interim report Wednesday that federal government agencies were obstructing access to important documents.
Fintrac — the federal government's financial crime agency — must always be careful with Canadians personal information, sometimes leading to delays, he said.
Blair added that the government can not compel federal prosecutors who do not wish to appear at the inquiry to testify.

But he pledged the government "will make sure that that the information the commission needs is available to them," and noted that Cullen had acknowledged an improvement in the delivery of documents.
"I want to assure the commissioner our absolute commitment to cooperate fully and to participate in this in his inquiry," Blair said.
"We'll make sure that that all of the agencies understand the responsibility to provide information in a timely way to support the commission's work."

A hinge bender, also called a hinge tweaker or hinge adjuster, is a hand tool for adjusting hinges, for instance on doors and windows on buildings or on cars. A hinge bender can be used to straighten a door that is tilted sideways relative to the door frame, which tends to happen gradually with most doors over a long time period. According to the Norwegian Standard NS 3424, it is expected that a house door needs adjustment every 2 to 8 years. Tilted doors can be especially noticeable during the winter time, as doors tend to expand due to changes in humidity of the air.

The hinge bender is used by placing it onto the hinge and twisting the tool in the direction that one wishes to adjust the door panel. It is important to turn the bender in the right direction. The tool is placed onto the hinge from the top while the door is closed. By rotating the hinge bender towards the door, the opening between the hinge stile and casing is decreased. If the tool instead is rotated away from the door, the opening between the hinge stile and casing will be increased.

Pulling with too much force can break the hinge or strip the screw heads of the hinge. Hinge benders can have either adjustable or fixed openings in order to fit different types of hinges.

Different types and dimensions
Hinge dimensions, and thus corresponding hinge bender size, vary with types of doors and between different regions. Some common diameters for fixed-opening hinge benders in Europe are . In the United States, 0.134 and 0.180 gauge hinges are common, which have barrel diameters of . In Australia, some common hinge barrel diameters are .

Adjustable hinge benders are also available to accommodate different hinge sizes.

Elizabeth Tasis found this business at a trade show many years ago. She now has a 7 figure income with Juice Plus+. At a recent show her team got 31 customers, 4 distributors and 1 doctor.
You will have less than 2 minutes to make an impression, so smile and ask great questions.
Your goal is not to sell Juice Plus+ (really!), and you are not there to give a brochure to everyone who passes by. Your goal is to have meaningful conversations and to capture their contact information for later follow-up.
Have a registration sheet on clip boards. This is the most important thing you have on the table. Be sure to check that the name, phone # and email are legible. Offer a free product drawing as an incentive.
After the conversation, take notes about the person and what you gave them: DVD, brochure, sample, etc.
Offer JP+ Chew samples to each of your "meaningful conversation" people (not everyone).
Colorful fruit and veggie tablecloth. The more colorful your booth, the better. You want it to attract attention, so others will come over to see what you are up to.
Table Cloth – Fruit and vegetable table cloth. The more colorful you can make the booth the better.
A basket of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables. This is optional. Go ahead and buy all of the ones that you can find that are in Juice Plus+. Weigh them before you leave the store and get the total cost of them. That way you can say, "Here are the fruits and vegetables that I found in JP+ at the store yesterday. The others are out of season, but we are still getting them raw every day in JP+. Also, the f/v in this basket weighed 12 pounds and cost me $15. That''s about a 2-day supply of JP+ and it's only $1.40 a day. Also, these are vine ripened, unlike the ones that I bought at the store. They have to pick them so early to be able to get them to the stores before they ripen". Put this in your own words, but you get the idea. It's a great visual comparison. Have the capsules in the orange capsule holder next to the basket. Show the simplicity of taking them vs. eating all of those fruits and vegetables. Plus, I always tell people about the variety. "There is no way that I would eat 17 different f/v every day. I don't like all of them plus I would be chewing all day long!" I tell them that I eat my favorites, like most people do or I cook them so most of the nutrition is destroyed. I make it a point to say, "We are not saying don't eat fruits and vegetables. Keep eating as many as you can. JP+ is a great way to add more to your diet and a variety each day. We all know the importance of eating a lot of them. It's just hard to do on a consistent basis". Bring a spray water bottle to keep your fruits and veggies looking good and fresh.
On-The-Go books (large) – have several that you can use to show people along with the "Conclusion" board —on the research. A good one to have on hand to show (not necessarily on the table) is the apple board. That's great when someone says, "I take a multi-vitamin". You can say, "These are 400 of the 10,000 vitamins that are found in an apple. In JP+, you are getting tens of thousands of vitamins every single day. It is a whole-food supplement". This is another great visual.
Juice Plus+ Banner. You can order one from Promo Plus for or borrow it from someone. This is great to have if you have an area where you can display it elevated behind you or to the side of your table.
Handouts. Here's a useful handout. It's much cheaper than using brochures and you do not need to use your business cards either. Be sure to include your name, phone number, e-mail, your website address. Point these out when you give them the sheet so they can get additional information. I like to use 24-pound paper. Brochures work well too, but be sure to put your contact info. label on each one.
Orange JP+ capsule holders filled with capsules—8 of each per container. Give them to those who decide to become a preferred customer that day. Tell them to take 1 of each daily until their order comes in.
Study, for adults who can't swallow or children who don't like soft chews.
Fruit and veggie balloons. These are really cute and another attention getter. Most grocery stores can order them for you. They have faces and personality. Even colorful solid balloons would work if you can't find the ones I'm talking about.
Fruit and veggie beanies. These are not a necessity. Just another way to add personality to your table.
Empty capsule and soft chew boxes. Also, empty capsule bottles and soft chew jars. Use them for stacking and making a nice display. Have a few capsules so people can see what they look like.
Sign advertising your incentive like "FREE first week of Juice Plus+ in a travel container when you become a Preferred Customer today". I've given away the JP+ water bottles along with the first week as well. This is up to you. Try to get as many as possible to become a customer right on the spot. The more you can get to do this, the better!
Have a few DVDs and brochures and distributor info (application, VF brochure) under the table to give on an "as needed" basis. Give DVDs and/or brochures to those who become a customer or who are very interested in JP+. Be sure to get their information so you can call them back (sign-insheet).
Preferred Customer Order Forms on clipboards.
Pens—have plenty. You can order Juice Plus+ ones through Promo Plus+ if you want.
JP+ Chewable Samples with business card stapled to them.
Everything must have name, phone# and email/web address.
." People believe what they read not just what they hear.
File Folder to organize your leads.
Don't sit, stand and move out in front of your booth or table to greet people.
Answer questions briefly, then ask a question to get them talking – don't talk too much!
Smile, be friendly and outgoing. Be someone that others want to meet. Stand up by your booth, and move out into the aisle when there's no-one at your booth. Do not sit down when there are people passing by. Have 2 chairs, though, so you can sit down with your new preferred customer while you fill out the paperwork. Build trust and rapport. Be someone that others want to refer their friends and family to. Have fun, use humor (if you have it!) – laugh together, it breaks the ice quickly.
Some people give a DVD to everyone who registers for a "Free DVD". Then follow up on those. This is up to you as well. I''ve tried it both ways and still am not sure of my decision on this. We don't!
The key to a successful show is FOLLOW UP. Be sure to have a sign-in sheet on a clipboard or on the table for them to fill out [simply ask them: "please sign in" – and they do!], so you have a way of contacting them after the show. 2 or 3 clipboards would be good. Write next to their information what you gave them and anything that you talked about. This will make it much easier when you call to follow up with them.
.schedule on your calendar before the show, the day or days that you will follow up with your leads from the show. Without taking the time to follow up, then you have basically wasted your time and money for doing the show (I am speaking from personal experience here—believe me).
Have 2 people at your booth. Makes it more fun and is nice if you need to leave the booth for a minute. It's also good to have one person to go the other booths to network with them.
Do not play a DVD. It's too distracting.
Wear a name tag. Make one if one is not provided.
Attitude: —bring a good one! Go into it with a goal of how many preferred customers you want to sign up that day. Remember that you have something that everyone needs. Don't worry about the ones who don't realize it or see the benefit of it. There are plenty of people who ARE interested. Remember that the company gets 15,000 new preferred customers every single month. Remember why you are taking it. Share from your heart. Have FUN with it!! Know before it even starts that something good is going to happen!! See it, believe it and be positive!!
Network with the people at the other booths, they are often your best prospects.
Here are great tips from experts. Make them work for you.
If we were standing here together 3 years from now what would have to have happen in your health picture for you to be happy with your progress?
What are the obstacles to that progress happening?
What opportunities and strengths do you have to make that happen? If you get them talking and get their barriers down, then you can find out how Juice Plus+ fits into what they want their life to look like in three years and you can tag on to that.
You need to be a question master. Ask some questions back. They are going to tell you their needs and what their wants are and it gets them more interested talking.
What do you say when someone asks, "What is Juice Plus and what can it do for me?" The first thing I always do is I ask them a question.
Do you understand the importance of fruits and vegetables and what they can do to impact your health? (Then you will know right away if the person is some what educated and even interested) Then I will say do you understand that they can actually help prevent disease? And if they say YES… Then I will say let me tell you what JUICE PLUS+ is. Juice Plus is basic nutrition. It's 17 raw fruits, vegetables and grains that have been put into capsule form. How much easier can it get? All of us are looking for a solution because we know we don't eat right and Juice PLUS+ is that solution. Would you like some more information? Start off with this and if they understand the importance, then I think that they are open to a discussion.
The elevator statement which is basically "How do you deliver the message as to what Juice Plus is in the amount of time it takes to ride an elevator up or down. And by the way I do agree that's a critical thing to be able to do especially at a health fair is to capture somebody's interest and to qualify them to determine whether or not it's a value for you to go ahead and talk with them.
First of all what I would say is just something as simple as if someone would ask me what is Juice Plus?
I just say well I have found that this an easy way to insure that I get it everyday, but if that is something that isn''t of interest to you that's fine and MOVE ON because if they start to deliver the objection right up front you don''t have time to talk to them. If you have longer to talk with someone, you can approach it differently.
The Fortune is in the Follow-up! Below are emails you can send. Be sure to call as well as email.


Israel today dismissed a proposal by Hamas for a six-month truce inside the Gaza Strip, saying the Palestinian group would use the period to prepare for more fighting rather than peace.
The Hamas offer, issued yesterday after talks with Egyptian mediators, departed from previous demands by the group that any ceasefire apply simultaneously in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
Israel is reluctant to enter into any formal agreement that could strengthen Hamas against its West Bank-based rival, Fatah. The Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, Fatah's leader, is currently pursuing US-sponsored peace talks with Israel.
But the Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert, signalled his flexibility last month by saying military attacks on Gaza would cease if Hamas stopped cross-border rocket attacks.
"Israel is interested in peace. Unfortunately, Hamas is playing games. Hamas is biding time in order to re-arm and regroup," David Baker, an Israeli spokesman, said today.
"There would be no need for Israel's defensive actions if Hamas would cease and desist from committing terrorist attacks on Israelis," Baker said, in reference to Israeli air strikes and commando raids in Gaza. "Israel will continue to act to protect its citizens."
Early this morning, a Palestinian militant shot and killed two Israeli security guards at a factory on the border between Israel and the West Bank. Riad al-Malki, the Palestinian foreign minister, condemned the attack, saying it was meant "to undermine the efforts by the Palestinian government to undertake full security responsibilities in the West Bank".
The attack would also embarrass Abbas while he was in Washington meeting US officials, al-Malki said.
Any Israeli-Palestinian peace deal will have to include an Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank to make room for a Palestinian state. Israel says leaders in both Gaza and the West Bank must rein in violent extremists first.
Israel argued that attacks like the one today prove Palestinian authorities are not yet capable of controlling militants in their territories.
The Israeli military said the gunman approached the two guards while they were screening workers entering the small industrial zone of Nitzanei Shalom, opened fire and then escaped.
The industrial zone is located on the line between Israel and the West Bank. It contains five Israeli factories that employ Palestinians.
Palestinian security officials in the nearby town of Tulkarem said soldiers moved into the West Bank in force after the attack and set up a checkpoint.


July 12, 2014: In Ukraine the Russian backed Donbas separatists have suffered serious defeats in the last few weeks and are further weakened by internal disputes and less support from Russia. Ukrainian security forces have entered most rebel held areas and basically crippled Russian efforts to annex the Donbas. The two Ukrainian provinces (Donetsk and Luhansk) which comprise the Donbas are now mostly under government control. Donbas contains about nine percent of Ukrainian territory, 13 percent of the population and 15 percent of the GDP. Donbas is about 38 percent ethnic Russian. The two provinces comprise the Donets Basin (or "Donbas") which was for a long time an economic powerhouse for Soviet Russia. But that began to decline in the 1980s and accelerated when the Soviet Union fell (and Ukraine became independent) in 1991. Ukraine wants to hold onto Donbas but needs foreign help to do so.
Ukraine received diplomatic, economic and military aid from the West but the most important foreign aid was the economic pressure on Russia that causes a massive flight of foreign and Russian capital from Russia. The economic angle is important because Donbas residents (Ukrainians as well as ethnic Russians) are more concerned with the local economy than remaining part of Ukraine. Initial Russian success in Donbas was partly possible because two decades of corrupt and inept Ukrainian politicians have left the economy a mess and living standards lower than the rest of Eastern Europe and even Russia. Most Ukrainians want some economic progress and that means less corruption and more efficient government. Petro Poroshenko, the newly elected Ukrainian president is seen as honest and competent, but it remains to be seen if he can turn around enough corrupt government officials and politicians who currently run the government and economy. Poroshenko was sworn in on June 7th and Ukrainians expected him to show some results quickly otherwise the economic stagnation will continue and Donbas will be lost more to apathy than Russian aggression. Poroshenko's efforts to deal with corruption and revive the national economy have gone forward but are still overshadowed by the Russian backed violence in Donbas.
Poroshenko has shown he will not back down in the face of Russian threats and it is the Russians who have blinked, so far. Russian leaders were forced to pay attention to the capital flight (over $75 billion do far) because that has had a real and negative effect on the Russian economy. In addition Western nations are gradually severing Russian ties to the Western economy the Russian aggression unnerved many Russian investors and business leaders. Economic statistics for the year so far show the damage clearly. This financial panic makes it even more difficult for Russia to grow its economy and keep most Russians content with their increasingly authoritarian government. Economist expect more than $100 billion to leave Russia by the end of the year, and this cripples economic growth because that cash is not available to invest in new and existing businesses. As a result Russia has backed off on its support for the Donbas rebels but not completely abandoned them.
Russia appears to have a "Plan B" for the Donbas that that includes keeping the rebels operational, even if at a very low level, so that by the end of the year, when the cold weather returns, Russia can uses its control over natural gas supplies for Ukraine to compel the Ukrainians to cede Donbas to Russia. This is a long shot but it is possible and Russia now trying to portray itself as the Good Guy and peacemaker. For the moment Russia is beaten, but not defeated.
Ukraine has been fighting to keep Donbas and since April, when Ukrainian troops moved in and clashed with pro-Russian rebels. In three months of fighting over a thousand troops, police, civilians and rebels have died. The fighting has driven over 100,000 people from their homes and that could more than double as civilians flee the city of Donetsk. That could result in over 3 percent of the 6.6 million people in Donbas becoming refugees and that number could increase when the other rebel held city, Luhansk, is also besieged.
Many of the Donbas refugees are ethnic Russians and they flee to Russia. This includes a growing number of former rebels who have quit their rebel organization in disgust or frustration at the recent decline in Russian support. Rebel morale is down and desertions (and sometimes surrenders to government forces) are up because the various rebel factions are arguing over what to do and who should be in charge. In the past Russia provided general guidance (and material support for that "guidance") and the various rebel groups each did what they could to support the Russian plan. At the moment Russia no longer has a clear strategy for the Donbas rebellion, although that may change. And it is that hope that is keeping many of the remaining rebels fighting. Russian volunteers and some light weapons and ammo continue to cross the border into Donbas. But more substantial support requires Russian government cooperation and, for the moment, that cooperation has stopped. Some 90 percent of the pro-Russian rebels are ethnic Russians from Ukraine (mostly from Donbas, where the population is nearly 40 percent ethnic Russian). Unfortunately for the rebels, they do not have the support of most people in Donbas, not even most of the ethnic Russians.
In one area Russian support for the Ukraine rebels continues. Russia still helps with the pro-rebel campaign on the Internet. This Information War type effort tries to convince people that what is going on in Donbas is not another Russian attempt to annex neighboring territory but a legitimate uprising against a tyrannical Ukrainian government. This Information War campaign is not having much success and is mainly appreciated by rebel supporters (in Ukraine, Russia and elsewhere) who have already made up their minds.
The Cold War is returning in more ways than one. For example, the U.S. and Russia again dominate the arms exporting business and the two of them account for nearly sixty percent of weapons exports. While both nations compete for some of the same customers, each nation has areas where they do much of their business without serious competition. India and China account for half the Russian exports. The Arab Gulf States account for 45 percent of American export business.
July 11, 2014: In Ukraine government forces are attacking rebels at the Donetsk International Airport. Donetsk is one of the last two major city in eastern Ukraine (the Donbas) held by the rebels. The other rebel held city is Luhansk and it is under air and artillery attack.
July 10, 2014: In Ukraine pro-Russian rebels fired rockets at a government held border post on the Russian border, killing 23 Ukrainian troops and wounding about three times as many. Ukraine promised retaliation for this, the largest loss in one attack in Donbas so far. The casualties were caused by rockets brought in from Russia.
Russia conducted the first successful use of Angara, its new satellite launcher. This is the first such new rocket developed since the Cold War ended and the Russian space program collapsed from lack of funding. In the last decade Russia has poured a lot more money into their space program and the Angara launch is another result.
July 9, 2014: In Ukraine air force attacks on pro-Russian rebels in the Donbas left over fifty dead. Ukraine is using its air force to keep an eye on where the rebels are and then to bomb them.
Russia has agreed to forgive 90 percent of the $35 billion (or more) owed to Russia by Cuba. All of this was Russian aid received from the 1960s to the early 1990s. This debt forgiveness is part of a Russian effort to improve relations with Cuba, which survived during the Cold War largely because of generous Russian subsidies (cash, oil and essential equipment). That all ended when the Soviet Union went bankrupt in 1991. Since then Cuba has become less communist, at least in terms of how their economy is run. China has become a major investor, but does not provide the massive freebies that Russia supplied during the Cold War.
July 8, 2014: In Ukraine pro-Russian rebels fell back into the cities of Donetsk and Luhansk as government forces swept through the Donbas countryside chasing rebels out of many towns and villages. This led the rebels and West European nations to urge the Ukraine government to agree to another ceasefire. The Ukrainians pointed out that the rebels had used previous ceasefires as opportunities to increase their military strength, not sit down and seriously try to work out a permanent peace. So Ukraine is keeping the pressure on until Donbas is free of pro-Russian rebels. That could take a while because the cities of Donetsk and Luhansk have to be taken from the rebels and that must be done with minimal damage to the cities. Bombing and shelling the cities would only cause more locals to back the rebels. So the cities will be surrounded and, in effect, undergo siege. This can take time, but it might persuade the rebels to negotiate an end to it all.
July 7, 2014: In Ukraine pro-Russian rebels have fled the city of Slaviansk and either deserted or headed for the city of Donetsk (100 kilometers to the south). Driving the rebels out of Slaviansk is the biggest victory yet for the government forces, which are now moving on to besiege Donetsk.
July 4, 2014: In Ukraine the government said it would consider ceasefire negotiations if the rebels stopped fighting. Many rebels are interested in negotiations, but are concerned about amnesty and avoiding prosecution for death and destruction they inflicted since April. The rebels are also split by leadership and strategy disputes. Ukraine is finding that there does not seem to be a single rebel leader to deal with anymore.
July 3, 2014: President Putin has called for new education efforts to indoctrinate Russian children to be more patriotic and to ignore foreign (mainly Western) influences. This is another attempt to revive Cold War era programs. The communist Soviet government spent a lot of time, money and effort on educating children to be pro-Soviet. It didn't work then and is unlikely to work now. But this is the direction current Russian rulers want to take the country in.
July 2, 2014: Three Russian Mi-28N helicopter gunships arrived in Iraq, delivered broken down in air transports. This is part of an Iraqi order for fifteen Mi-28Ns that is being accelerated. This speed is in the best interests of the manufacturer as well as Iraq as the Mi-28Ns would be immediately sent into combat against Islamic terrorists in northern and western Iraq. This would make the Mi-28N "combat tested" in a region where more export sales of the Mi-28N have been sought. Combat tested aircraft are always easier to sell.
July 1, 2014: In Ukraine the ten day ceasefire came to an end as the government forces resumed their offensive against the Donbas rebels.
Iran has flown three of their Su-25 ground attack into Iraq to join the five that arrived from Russia earlier. It appears that most of these eight aircraft are being flown by Iranian pilots and maintained by Iranian and Russian personnel.
June 30, 2014: The new leader of Islamic terrorists in the Caucasus (Ali Abu Mukhammad, also known as Aliaskhab Kebekov) has released an hour-long video in which is urges his followers to reduce civilian casualties (especially Moslem women and children) and not fight to the death when cornered. This is an admission of defeat and a decision to switch tactics. Islamic terrorists in the Caucasus will still use suicide bombs and attack security forces and local officials at every opportunity, but the strategy is now more long term and focused on reducing losses among Islamic terrorists and building up public support. Most people in the Caucasus are unhappy with local governments, which are corrupt and pro-Russian. Before the Islamic terrorists can take leadership of that resentment they have to shed their reputation of being mindless butchers who kill lots of civilians without seeming to have any impact on the corrupt local governments.
June 28, 2014: In Ukraine rebels in Donetsk released four OSCE (Organisation for Security and Co-operation) observers were taken prisoner in late May.
June 27, 2014: Ukraine signed a free trade agreement with the European Union (EU). It was a Ukrainian effort to sign such a deal last November that led to the Russian campaign to seize Crimea (which succeeded in March) and Donbas (which seems to be failing.) Russia protested the new deal with the EU, to no effect. Georgia and Moldova signed similar deals, despite sinister warnings by Russia not to.
Ukraine extended the ceasefire in Donbas 72 hours in the hope that the rebels would agree to serious peace negotiations and end their violence against Ukrainian soldiers and police in the Donbas. Some rebels want to make peace but the majority do not and these hardliners are responsible for the sniper and mortar fire against government forces during the week long ceasefire.
June 25, 2014: NATO denounced Russia for continuing to support the Ukraine rebels after promising to withdraw such support. By the end of the month Russia had shut down most of that support, apparently because of the damage the Western economic sanctions were doing to the Russian economy.
Russian media reported that one of the three remaining Russian satellites built to detect ICBM launches has failed. The failed satellite was an Oko-1 that was launched in 2012 and was supposed to last 5-7 years. Russia began launching the Oko-1 satellites in 1991 but only two of them have lasted more than five years. The Oko-1s are GTO (high stationary orbit) type satellites costing $45 million each and two are needed to provide worldwide coverage. The older satellites are in lower, non-stationary orbit and with only two of the pre-Oko-1 satellites left Russia can detect American ICBM launches for only about three hours a day. Russia is not completely blind as it is rebuilding its network of long range (over-the-horizon) radars. These provide less warning, and less time to decide what to do.


The State of Jefferson Elite Rugby Club ended its second year with their final league game of the season on Saturday at Lower Greenhorn Park versus the Mendocino Steam Donkeys. While the squad lost five goals to three to end league without a win, the team has shown a lot of improvement this season said Judd Hanna, a player with the Elite team. "We're really making strives," he said. In the contest, Bryant Schauffler scored twice while Justin Griffith scored once for the Elite Squad. Considering the team is fairly new with all but two players having never played the sport before, Hanna expects the squad to continue to improve and be more competitive in league next season as they search for their first league victory. "We have a good core group of guys," Hanna said. He added many of the teams they face told them it usually takes three years to get things going with a sport as challenging as rugby. The Elite squad is set to begin play in a number of summer tournaments starting in June. This includes the team's home event, the Greg Smith Memorial, which is named after a late Elite player.

El Refugi Serra d'Ensija, també conegut com a refugi Delgado Úbeda, és un refugi de muntanya que es troba al sud del municipi de Saldes, a la serra d'Ensija.

Es tracta d'un refugi de muntanya situat al vessant sud-est del Cap de la Gallina Pelada, dalt la serra d'Ensija, a 2.157 metres d'altitud. La seva inauguració tingué lloc el 13 de setembre de 1964, amb el nom de 'refugi President Delgado Úbeda', en honor del llavors president de la Federació Espanyola d'Esports de Muntanya i Escalada. És propietat de la Federació d'Entitats Excursionistes de Catalunya (FEEC), i té una capacitat de trenta-una places. És base d'ascensió al Cap de la Gallina Pelada de 2.321 metres d'altitud, punt culminant de la serra d'Ensija, i es troba a escassa distància del GR-107, anomenat Camí dels Bons Homes. La seva ubicació és un indret magnífic per a la pràctica de l'excursionisme hivernal amb raquetes de neu, amb uns perfils de muntanyes majoritàriament arrodonits, ideals per a la pràctica d'aquesta disciplina de muntanya. També s'hi poden fer diverses excursions amb esquí de muntanya. Ensija és l'únic refugi guardat d'aquesta serralada prepirinenca.
