From where he sat on the floor, rolling his eyes from one side to the other , no one could easily guess how many lives 39 – year- old Adeola Williams , popularly known as Ade Lawyer, could have taken in the past 10 to 20 years until he opened his mouth to confess .
Many of those present during his confession couple of days ago were therefore taken aback when he revealed that he had killed over 100 persons, as he noted that assassinating people was his source of livelihood for over 10 years. "But now I ' m born again," he added .
Williams , a father of three from Ijebu Igbo in Ogun State , was recently arrested by the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team over the killing of one Ganiyu Ayinla , aka Pinero, who was the personal assistant to Azeez Adekunle Lawal , the National Union of Road Transport Workers chairman in Idumota, Lagos . The incident took place on January 23 .
While giving account of his activities , he said , "Assassination has been the source of my livelihood for more than a decade now and I know I have taken many lives that I can ' t even count but God knows I am a new person now.
"If I get a chance to regain my freedom in this life, I will never go back to crime again. I also advise the millions of youths out there that crime does not pay. I was into crime for over 20 years and despite the risk involved and lack of rest of mind , I have nothing to show for it except the uncompleted three- bedroomed bungalow in Ibadan.
Willliams also revealed how he was once arrested and remanded in Ikoyi prison in 1998 for stealing a wristwatch belonging to late fuji musician , Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, at a show in Lagos Island .
Eventually freed in 2001, he said he went back to being a bus conductor and driver in Ajah – the same job he was doing before he went to prison. He said he joined the NURTW , Ajah Branch , where he was made a park attendant.
Through his years in NURTW , he said he worked for the likes of Musiliu Akinsanya , aka MC Oluomo, Akanni Olorunwa, who was once a chairman of the union in the state , and one Mustapha Sagoe , who took over his unit initially .
However, Williams said he decided to take the life of Kunle Poly for refusing to talk to the state chairman of the union, Tajudeen Agbede, on his behalf . He said he worked hard for Agbede to emerge as the chairman but that he was dumped after the election .
He added , "I decided to rope in Olorunwa because he was the one who ruined my life . It was my support for him during his fight with MC Oluomo that made me to lose my position at the union. After he was removed from office, he had so much money but he was wasting it on women and movie actors and he refused to help me.


Henry Stacy Marks was born in London as the fourth child of John Isaac Marks and Elizabeth née Pally. His father was a solicitor who later became a coach builder. Henry enrolled at the Royal Academy Schools in about 1851 and first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1853. When his father's business failed, Henry Marks had to support his mother, his three younger brothers and, from 1856, his new wife, Helen Drysdale. He did this by supplementing his income from painting by carrying out decorative work for various patrons. These included the Minton works, for the stained glass makers Clayton and Bell, by designing a frieze for the outside wall of the Royal Albert Hall, and for the house of the artist Lawrence Alma-Tadema. Marks' most important patron was Hugh Grosvenor, 1st Duke of Westminster and he worked on decoration for the duke's house, Eaton Hall, Cheshire, between 1874 and 1880. For this house he painted two canvasses 35 feet (11 m) long of Chaucer's pilgrims, and twelve panels of birds. Marks became a member of the St John's Wood Clique in 1862. As his career progressed, he became increasingly interested in painting birds. Possibly his most famous painting is A Select Committee (1891) which is now in the Walker Art Gallery. He was elected as a member of the Royal Academy following his painting Convocation, which was exhibited in 1878. Most of his paintings of birds were watercolours, which he exhibited at the Old Watercolour Society or at the Fine Art Society.
His first wife died in 1892 and the following year Marks married Mary Harriet Kempe, who was also a painter. He died in his London home and was buried in Hampstead Cemetery. His estate amounted to a little over £9,600.
The Victoria and Albert Museum holds three of Marks' finished water colour studies of birds and eleven sketches for larger paintings. Some of his works are exhibited in the Parrot House of Eaton Hall.


YOU TAKE YOUR HISTORICAL FIRSTS WHERE YOU CAN. It was 1988, and a couple of months before the Kiele course was due to open at the just-opened Kauai Lagoons Resort I scored an invite to preview the course. This was a big deal because Kiele was the first new golf course built in Hawai'i in more than 20 years, and to give his first resort instant cache in the golf world, big-thinking developer Chris Hemmeter brought in Jack Nicklaus to helm the design aspect. I would be the first golf writer to see it. The course was so new, holes weren't yet cut in greens, and fairway turf was just barely ready for play. I recall being impressed with how Nicklaus began with a fairly benign opening par-4, progressing gently, hole-by-hole, making things tougher and tougher in true "Golden Bear" fashion. By the time our foursome-including a resort manager, a publicist and head pro Frank Sullivan, a former Boston Red Sox pitcher-reached the oceanside par-3 13th hole, I was already debating the heresy of whether Kiele was better than Robert Trent Jones' venerated Mauna Kea on the Big Island.
Standing on the tee of the 13th, looking slightly downhill across a frothing inlet in the lava cliffs toward a diagonal green well guarded by bunkers front and back, I instantly judged it a more challenging hole than Mauna Kea's fantastic par-3 third, which I'd always played fairly well (not to mention dryly) up to that point.
Whereupon I cleverly snap-hooked a 5-iron into the ocean.
Now there's something to make the old resume shine.
Fast forward 23 years, and today the hole is No. 5 on Kiele's Moana Course, one of three distinct nines that have been rejiggered to accommodate new housing along the coastal cliffs. In the process, three holes of the former Kiele back nine were lost, but Nicklaus returned to create three new holes along the ocean, creating a continuous half-mile of ocean golf, a longer stretch than any other course in Hawai'i.
Moana opened in May, and the next phase, scheduled to begin in January, will involve work to Kiele's former front nine, which will be called the Kiele Mauka 9. The final phase, scheduled to begin in 2013, will be to the former Mokihana course, which lost nine holes and will be called the Kiele Waikahe 9.
While Nicklaus tweaked five of Moana's other holdover holes, and added a new irrigation system, new TifEagle grass on greens, new drainage and new sand in bunkers to all six, the former 13th is as perfect as it ever was.
If you're a bold-swinging pin-seeker, club selection is crucial because at Kiele, Nicklaus is the master of the green set diagonally to fairway or tee, so there's a difference of two to three clubs from front to back.
That is indeed an apt description of this magnificent hole. Yet, so are beautiful, breathtaking and dramatic.


World Autism Awareness Day, which is celebrated every second of April, aims to increase people's awareness about people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
World Autism Awareness Day, which is celebrated every second of April, aims to increase people's awareness about people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This day includes events for educators, healthcare professionals, and parents, as well as activities showcasing the works of children with ASD.
See the fact file below for more information on the World Autism Awareness Day or alternatively, you can download our 19-page World Autism Awareness Day worksheet pack to utilise within the classroom or home environment.
Although World Autism Awareness Day is not a public holiday, varied events are showcased in the aim of raising awareness about this condition. The following are some of the events organized for this day.
This year's theme is on "Assistive Technologies, Active Participation", as declared by the United Nations.
The awareness day was designated by the United Nations General Assembly resolution 62/139.
World Autism Awareness Day was passed in council on November 1, 2007 and was adopted on December 18, 2007.
The awareness day was proposed by the United Nations representative from Qatar, Her Highness Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser Al-Missned, Consort of His Highness Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, the Emir of the State of Qatar, and supported by all member states.
World Autism Awareness Day is one of the seven health-specific UN Days, along with World Health Day (7 April), World Water Day (22 March), World No-Tobacco Day (31 May), the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking (26 June), World Mental Health Day (10 October), World Diabetes Day (14 November), and World AIDS Day (1 December).
Joined by the international community, thousands of landmarks, buildings, homes, and communities around the world, "light it up blue" in recognition of people living with autism.
Autism refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech, and nonverbal communications. Since it covers a large spectrum of symptoms, skills, and levels of impairment, autism is now called Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Children with ASD have trouble with social interaction and communication. They have difficulties understanding what other people think and feel. On the other hand, they also find it hard to express themselves using words, gestures, facial expressions, and touch.
Children with ASD may feel pain just by sounds, touches, smells, or sights that seem usual to most people. Others may develop repetitive movements such as rocking, pacing, or hand flapping, may have unusual attachments to objects, may have resistance to change, or may have aggressive tendencies.
Because it is a spectrum, some children with ASD are cognitively delayed to a certain degree while others have above-average intellectual functioning.
ASD has no single cause, and its symptoms vary from mild to severe. These symptoms cause clinically significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of current functioning (DSM-V).
Symptoms include delayed speech and language skills, echolalia (repeating the same phrase over and over again), inability to understand one's own emotions or those of others, and inability to recognize sarcasm or jokes.
This is a fantastic bundle which includes everything you need to know about World Autism Awareness Day across 19 in-depth pages. These are ready-to-use World Autism Awareness Day worksheets that are perfect for teaching students about the World Autism Awareness Day, which is celebrated every second of April, aims to increase people's awareness about people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This day includes events for educators, healthcare professionals, and parents, as well as activities showcasing the works of children with ASD.

Blog »What's with annexations?
What's with annexations?
by V G Team
You may have read or heard about instances when a neighborhood or a commercial area in unincorporated DeKalb wants to be "annexed" by a neighboring city. Northlake Mall has annexed into the City of Tucker. The Lavista Park neighborhood (right outside the Vista Grove map) has been approved to annex into the City of Brookhaven. And just today, the Atlanta Business Chronicle reported that Related Group, the owners of the property between Target and Chik-Fil-A on North Druid Hills Road and Briarcliff have also applied to be annexed into Brookhaven. "Hundreds of apartments, new hotel, planned for Brookhaven, next to CHOA, Emory campus," https://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/news/2019/12/17/hundreds-of-apartments-new-hotel-planned-for.html
But what does that mean? Annexation, simply put, is when an area on the border of an existing city becomes a part of that city.
It does not mean the annexed area leaves DeKalb County; instead, it remains part of the county and still receives many services from DeKalb. Annexation does, however, mean that the area is subject to the new city's jurisdiction and that it receives from that city those services that the city is providing. Correspondingly, property owners in the annexed area pay to that city, instead of to DeKalb, that portion of local taxes representing what that city charges for those services.
There is a misconception that recent annexations happened because neighboring cities are "grabbing" property, or that they are somehow aggressively seeking to absorb property. In reality, annexations are occurring, via different methods, because the businesses or the neighborhoods, who are near those cities, prefer to be inside the jurisdiction of the city. Like the owner of the Target property on Briarcliff Road, they are themselves applying, or in some cases voting, to be annexed.
As far as how annexation happens, one common method of annexation is known as the 100% method. Generally speaking, when 100% of the owners of an area of property that is contiguous (next to a city) wants to be annexed, they can apply. The city council then considers, and can approve the annexation. This is the method that business property owners use, because they typically are moving a parcel or several parcels together, all of which they own, into a city. Northlake Mall annexed into Tucker using the 100% method, and the Briarcliff/North Druid Hills commercial property owners are also using this method.
The next very common method of annexation, which is more often used by neighborhoods who wish to annex, is the 60% method. In this case, both 60% of the registered voters in the area and 60% of the property owners, submit a petition and application to the city for annexation. Then, looking to the best interests of city residents and residents in the area to be annexed, the city council considers and can approve the application. This is the method that LaVista Park has used in applying to be annexed into Brookhaven. https://www.reporternewspapers.net/2019/11/30/lavista-park-community-seeks-annexation-into-brookhaven/
Yet another method of annexation is by a resolution and referendum process: using this method, cities propose an annexation and then residents in the area can vote in a referendum on whether to be annexed. There is also annexation that the General Assembly can propose by local act, which in the case of a larger county like DeKalb, would require a referendum in the areas to be annexed. All of these methods, which are provided by state statute, involve and require property owner or voter input. Lastly, there is the special case of an annexation by a city to remove an unincorporated island.
And apart from this special case of an unincorporated island, cities are not able to unilaterally annex either commercial or residential areas. When Northlake Mall annexed, its ownership wished, as do many businesses that annex, to take advantage of a more streamlined and quicker permitting process. The LaVista Park neighborhood, which has been approved to be annexed into Brookhaven, is right next to Brookhaven and wished to have more input in the decision making process of so much nearby development.
Certainly, cities themselves will, through their economic development departments, advertise their benefits. And there are instances in which cities would like to expand, and even, in some cases, more aggressively make their plans public. For example, the city of Doraville recently made clear that they would like to add to its tax base by annexing large portions of neighborhoods and business areas in the Embry Hills area. http://doravillecityga.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=1&ID=1401&Inline=False&Frame=SplitView&Height=1520
http://doravillecityga.iqm2.com/Citizens/SplitView.aspx?Mode=Video&MeetingID=1424&AgendaID=1401&FileFormat=pdf&Format=Agenda&MediaFileFormat=mpeg4
One can fairly conclude that cities like Brookhaven and Chamblee, who would like to grow, have also considered scenarios in which they expand their own borders into new areas, including the Vista Grove footprint.
Any massive proposed annexation, of course, as discussed above, could not occur without a majority vote of residents. It is understandable that many residents and businesses on the borders of Vista Grove, if they had other alternative, might be receptive to such plans. As long as cities are continuing to improve their infrastructure at a rapid rate, and offer an attractive value proposition for their services, there will be ongoing annexation. For example, residents in the new city of Tucker now pay a lower overall millage rate than residents in unincorporated DeKalb. https://decaturish.com/2019/06/tuckers-takeover-of-parks-will-result-in-lower-tax-bill-for-residents/
Indeed, the Georgia Municipal Association lists a host of reasons that property owners and citizens decide to annex, including "higher levels of government services," "infrastructure improvements like sidewalks and parks," "a strong sense of community and professional planning," and "a smaller and more responsive local government." See Growing Cities, Growing Georgia (2014), https://www.gacities.com/GMASite/media/PDF/publications/annexation.pdf.
With those incentives in mind, and looking to recent history, we can conclude that portions of our community that are unincorporated now will continue to be absorbed into neighboring cities by annexation. It does no good to pretend that annexation is not happening; instead, we have to recognize and address the situation realistically.
How, then, might we restore stability, avoiding continued piecemeal annexation, including the steady attrition of neighborhoods and businesses on the borders into other cities? For those of us in Vista Grove, one solution is to make staying here a far more attractive value proposition than leaving to annex. A new city of Vista Grove can provide the representative voice, infrastructure improvements, and targeted services (roads and sidewalks, parks, and zoning) to do that. And now is the time, when we still have a strong tax base and vibrant commercial areas as a foundation for a new city, to get started on that work.
Interestingly, Brookhaven is considering a plan that might well discourage neighborhoods from annexing into its borders: It is looking into creating special tax districts for newly annexed areas, so that residents annexing in do not receive the benefit of the city's lower millage rate, at least initially. https://www.reporternewspapers.net/2019/11/02/special-tax-districts-to-be-created-for-brookhaven-annexations
From a Vista Grove perspective, it also seems that annexation by bordering cities would disturb the cohesive community we now enjoy. Should Brookhaven, Chamblee, Doraville, Tucker and Clarkston expand their borders, over time, it would forever change the identity of our community and impact the strong, united voice we have now and are working hard to solidify. As a desirable tax base, it is not realistic to believe our area will remain unincorporated in the future. The decision, then, is whether we take action now to unite into one city, or whether we are content to be carried along by the forces that drive annexation, losing in the process some of our community voice and cohesiveness.

Dirty Martini Use Feed It Back And Find Staff Motivation Is Up After 3 Month
News | 12th July 2017 29th March 2019
Dirty Martini, the fast growing 8-venue cocktail bar brand, subscribed to Feed It Back, the EPOS-linked guest feedback service, in March and has identified staff motivation as the key benefit amongst others.
"We had used mystery visits for years", commented CEO, Scott Matthews, "However due to the subjective nature of the visits we felt they did not provide a true reflection of the Dirty Martini experience nor did we gain enough volume to make important decisions."
"We knew from other users of Feed It Back that we would receive high volumes of feedback, but what we did not anticipate was the huge positive impact on staff. General Managers share with their teams daily the positive feedback and the staff have loved seeing the comments and sometimes having their photo selected to single them out for 'applause'."
"With the planned growth of the business over the coming years, Feed It Backwill help us to maintain our high standard of service and staff retention as we grow."
Feed It Back is the only guest feedback system that integrates in real time with Zonal's Aztec EPoS system, amongst others, enabling feedback questions to be personalised to the guest's visit. The result is a brief, engaging feedback experience for guests. For operators, each review is presented with the details and context of the visit, providing far more meaning and insight compared to traditional feedback methods.
"It offers fantastic visibility to both our general managers and operations managers" added Head of sales and digital marketing Faye Catchpole. "They feel empowered because they can see the key issues that need to be addressed and have full accountability for rectifying these. As Feed It Back is intuitive, smart and easy to use, it has been easy for staff to adopt it."
Utilising Feed It Back as a new data capture channel has also been beneficial.
"We are always exploring new ways to reach out to our customers and adopt a targeted sales approach. Utilising the data gained via Feed It Back has proven an effective way to drive future bookings."
"We love working with Dirty Martini" commented Carlo Platia, CEO at Feed It Back. "They are an innovative, fast growing company, passionate about the quality of their drinks, food and service. We are looking forward to supporting their rapid expansion."

Getting back to one's roots
by Carmen Diotaiuti, Cinecittà News
The Colombian forests gave rise to the legend of drug-growing tribes and intercenine warfare fueled by profit and honor, as seen in Pájaros de verano (Birds of Passage) by Cristina Gallego and Ciro Guerra. The film describes the origins of the drug traffic in Colombia through the story of an indigenous Wayuu family that, over three decades, from the 1960s to the 1980s, gradually gave up their traditional activities to devote themselves to the new, highly lucrative marijuana trade. The drug was shipped from Colombia to the United States by way of the Guajira desert, one of the most inhospitable territories in Colombia. In competition at Noir in Festival, an Oscar nominee representing Colombia, and the film that opened the Directors' Fortnight at Cannes, Birds of Passage will soon be released in Italy by Academy Two. We met Carmiña Martínez, one of the stars of the film, at Noir; she plays a matron who strives to keep her family and the entire community together at all costs.
What was it like to act in a film about one of Colombia's indigenous peoples, the Wayuu - a film that also took you back to your own roots, since your family came from just that part of the country?
True, making this film was like going back to my roots and the origins of my family. The filmmakers created a visual narrative of the ancestral customs of our people, showing fundamental aspects such as birth, the evolution of a woman, and the importance of life, death and dreams. Or the value of one's word, which must be respected in every case. The directors linked all of these aspects through a golden thread that respects the nature of our community.
The character you play, Úrsula, is a strong woman who will make any decision necessary for the good of her family.
The mother does play a key role. She has to keep everything together and protect her family at all costs. She's a character with an extraordinary inner strength, nuanced and at many different levels that range from her psychological depth to the lightness dictated by everyday life, as she do and undoes what she's done, day in and day out.
Where did you get the inspiration to develop your character?
I started by delving into my own roots, getting back in touch with the entire female line of my family - mothers, grandmothers and aunts - to try to build the character using my family ties and my personal experience. I then tried to understand how family-run businesses work, when a woman runs the whole show. On a third level of investigation, I examined the female characters in the classic Greek tragedies that I have often performed on stage. Lastly, in putting all these elements together, I tried to delocalize the story and make it universal.
The film was co-directed by two filmmakers, Cristina Gallego and Ciro Guerra. How did they split the job on set? Did you sense any difference in the way a man directed you compared to a woman?
It was a question of two different perspectives. Ciro was always very concerned with having us avoid any excessive theatricality; he didn't want us to go over the top with our acting. Cristina takes the opposite view: she feels the intimate, emotional sphere is very important, and tended to stress women's solidarity and the emotional component. In fact, the character Úrsula became as strong as she did thanks to the combination of these two visions.
The film suggests that the family is everything to the indigenous culture; where there's family, there's respect. Does that still hold today for the Wayuu culture?
Absolutely. Over the years, the Wayuus have preserved their customs and cultivated their traditions. Of which the family is the all-important foundation, the mainstay; members of the family would literally give their lives for each other, taking the consequences to the extreme: should the family need to die out to preserve its unity, it won't stop that from happening, while protecting and defending each other at all times and for any reason.
The film also stresses the importance of giving and keeping one's word.
True. One's word is so important that the "palabrero", the person who brings the word from one community to another, is a real figure who roughly fills the shoes of a lawyer, but without laws or legal codes, basing his activity on an exchange of people's words that must always be respected.
Dreams are also highly significant in the film. One of the characters calls them "the proof that the soul exists", yet they also appear to have a concrete value as guides to the community's day-to-day behavior.
The deep respect for dreams is another element that you could say holds the community together. In dreams you can see the future, in the form of symbols to be recognized, accepted and respected. The symbols speak and say what is about to happen, and when they speak, what they say does happen. One further element is equally important: the idea of death. The Wayuus believe that the deceased do not abandon us, and in order for us to remain in contact with them, we mustn't bury them one time only, but have more than one funeral and even exhume the remains several times.
The drug trade is on everyone's lips, with more and more hit films and TV series that have turned the association between drug trafficking and Colombia into a cliché. How do Colombians deal with all this attention?
I really don't know why there is this fatal attraction for the drug trade, in Colombia and the world at large. It's a fad, a point of departure for many stories and producers have realized that these stories are popular and generate large profits. Why I don't know, but that's the way it is. In the ancestral communities that still inhabit these villages, the problem is the young people who would like to go out into the world, which is only right; I myself left the community to study acting. And although I went away, I feel a close bond to my community, and going back to the community is essential.
Women play a central role in the film: they're resilient, powerful and make all the decisions. The men, on the other hand, tend to appear weak and prone to alcoholism. Is that a real problem in the community today?
It's not a broad trend throughout the society; it's no different from what you tend to see in the rest of the world. Guajira is a duty-free zone where alcohol, cigarettes and drugs have always been smuggled in. Which obviously makes it harder to resist temptation. For a Wayuu it's much easier to get his hands on a bottle of whiskey, which costs more or less the same as a Coca Cola, but actually, in proportion, I don't think the problem is so significant, numerically speaking.

Ringhaddy () is a townland on the shores of Strangford Lough, County Down, Northern Ireland, 5 km south of Whiterock. It is in the civil parish of Killinchy and the historic barony of Dufferin.

History
The name Ringhaddy was first seen as Ecclesia de Rencady, the church of Ringhaddy, in the Papal Taxation of 1306. In 1470 the castle was recorded captured by Henry O'Neill, then transferred to MacQuillen of Dufferin. A c.1580 map of County Down showed Renaghaddye, with 2 castles and a church, on a peninsula or island. The ruined church is on a drumlin north of the castle, which was built in the 15th century. The manor and castle of Ringhaddy and Killyleagh belonged to the Whites of Dufferin in 1605, the castle having been remodeled by Sir Ralph Lane in 1601-2. As well as the castle and church (both scheduled historic monuments) there is a quay.

Places of interest
It is the home of Ringhaddy Daffodils, which breeds and grows prize winning daffodils, and Ringhaddy Cruising Club, a yacht club founded in 1975.

The area has become very popular for diving, with the wreck of the MY Alastor some 80m offshore from Ringhaddy Quay at a depth of 23m. This 143 ft luxury motor yacht was built in 1927 and destroyed by fire on 11 March 1946 while moored up for painting.

A BUSY TIME – Dylan Cozens on Draft night, June 21, in Vancouver, after pulling on a Buffalo Sabres sweater.
Sabres release 2019-20 regular season schedule
It has been almost two weeks since Dylan Cozens became the highest drafted Yukon player ever, at seventh overall, to the Buffalo Sabres.
By John Tonin on July 4, 2019
With the draft now in the rearview mirror and the July 1 opening of the free agency period, we at the Star thought it would be fun to take a look at the Buffalo Sabres' regular season schedule, which was released on June 25.
Cozens said at the NHL Draft combine that he believes his skating is NHL-ready. On draft night, he noted that he felt he needed to get stronger to be elite at the next level, but, if the Sabres wanted him up, he would be ready.
Here's hoping he makes it.
Dates to circle on the calendar:
The Sabres will open their regular season on Oct. 3 when they travel to Pittsburg to take on Sydney Crosby and the Penguins.
Their first home game is Oct. 5, when they will face off against the New Jersey Devils, setting up a potential match-up with first overall pick Jack Hughes.
The first Canadian team the Sabres play is the Montreal Canadiens ( Oct. 9).
On Nov. 17, the Sabres will take on the Chicago Blackhawks, who picked third overall in the 2019 Draft and are the team Cozens cheered for growing up.
The Sabres will host the Calgary Flames on Nov. 27 before a home-and-home series against their rival across Lake Ontario, the Toronto Maple Leafs, on the weekend.
In the first week of December, after playing their second game against the Devils, the Sabres will play three games against the westernmost Canadian teams.
First, they will play in Calgary on Dec. 5 before travelling to Vancouver on Saturday and ending their road trip against Edmonton on Dec. 8.
Buffalo will also kick off 2020 – marking the Sabres' 50th birthday – against the Oilers when they host them on Jan. 2.
The Sabres will have a date with the Stanley Cup champions on Jan. 9 when they travel to St. Louis to face the Blues.
On Feb. 23, Buffalo will have played all seven of the Canadian teams when they host the Winnipeg Jets.
The regular season ends April 4 with a match-up against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Keep those dates in mind, folks, and if a team you're interested in wasn't mentioned above, tweet @WhseStarSports and we will figure it out for you.

I am interested in 'more-than-human' research methods in human geography and unpacking the everyday through an affective politics as a form of meaning-making. I am currently studying Society and Space MSc to gain new insights into methodologies and theory before beginning my PhD research. My research shall look at dog training programmes in prisons and why they are so effectively transformative: decreasing reoffending rates dramatically. I shall investigate the genealogy of constituting both the incarcerated human and non-human. Such research will aid the interdisciplinary need to reconfigure hegemonic understandings and materialities of criminality, gender and the more-than-human affective lived experience.

Research topic: The Back-To-The-Land movement and nature in the Anthropocene: a personal journey through "haptic geographies"
My PhD will be looking at one particular social movement – the back-to-the-land movement (BTL) – and its engagement with the non-human world. Through an auto-ethnographical methodology that will pay particular attention to sensorial experience with the non-human world, I aim to investigate counter-culturenature ontologies as practiced on the ground by BTLs to highlight the diversity of relationships to and performances of nature within the presumed homogeneous Western society. Finally, through the lenses of anarchist theory I will attempt to respond to some of the philosophical and practical challenges presented by the emergence of the Anthropocene concept.

Research topic: Mindful geographies? Towards the therapeutic geographies of mindfulness
Mindfulness has grown in popularity since the millennium, however the practice has been neglected from geographical literature concerning health and wellbeing. This is surprising since a recently published 'Mindful Nation UK' (2015) report by the Mindfulness All-Party Parliamentary Group (MAPPG) identified the practice as key to remedying mental health difficulties. My project aims to understand the geographies of mindfulness, and in doing so, expand the concept of therapeutic geographies using mindfulness practice. Practically, I will carry out ethnographic fieldwork with charities and/or organisations that use mindfulness as a therapeutic device.

Research topic: Following the forecast: risk, uncertainty and the life of seasonal and decadal climate forecasts
Improvements in supercomputing and advances in our understanding of how climatic fluctuations operate have now made it possible to produce seasonal and decadal climate forecasts. However, as forecasting extends into seasonal and decadal prediction, the amount of uncertainty increases, resulting in highly contingent projections of the future. This makes it difficult for scientists to communicate seasonal and decadal forecasts to end-users. My research will therefore explore how scientists at the Met Office and forecast users negotiate uncertainty, with the aim of improving the communication of seasonal and decadal climate forecasts.

My PhD project is concerned with everyday peace building in post-conflict Belfast, Northern Ireland. By tracing the flow, movement and silences of breath, I seek to explore the spatial and embodied materialities that shape how the self, the other, and community relationships are both imagined and created. To move with encounters happening in-between a sharing of breath, is to advance an alternative politics of sharing, which finds its origin within difference rather than sameness.

5G technology is the next generation of wireless mobile network, and my PhD research seeks to engage with proponents of 5G technology as well as potential users to provide an insight into how people make sense of, and engage with, this developing technology. The PhD research aims to critically explore some of the major themes bound up with the development of this new technology. These three main themes include: the materiality of the 5G network regarding infrastructural requirements, challenges and concerns; geopolitical and security issues related to the development of the network; as well as the narratives that 5G will be 'transformative' by enabling new capabilities, and will act as a foundation for further technological development.

Research topic: Class and the asylum determination system in the UK
My research examines the extent to which the concept of class can provide a theoretical framework to interpret how the individual backgrounds of asylum seekers, such as their education or occupation in their country of origin, may account for discrepancies in procedural outcomes. It is well documented that in the UK some asylum seekers get much quicker and more accurate initial decisions than others, for reasons that go beyond whether they are making a genuine claim. I am interested in exploring how class identity is constructed through perceptions of social value, and how these values may influence the decision-making process.

My ethnographic research of diverse yoga practices and spaces will deploy a novel 'moving interview' method to contribute to debates on gendered and embodied geographies of health and wellbeing. Modern postural yoga has rapidly gained popularity in the West (Singleton, 2010), and this research will foreground practitioners' lived experiences of the body in contemporary yoga spaces, enabling an exploration of new ontologies of wellbeing and gendered body shame. This will open up novel analytical lines towards understanding wellness outside of consumerist, neoliberal and medico-scientific discourses (Dolezal, 2012).

Research topic: Feral food foraging in the city and ecological literacy
I am interested in how foraging for feral foods in an urban setting can provide opportunities for learning about ecological literacy, defined as identification with urban nature, leading towards greater ecological consciousness. I have chosen urban public space as the site for the research as it is replete with counter hegemonic initiatives towards more equitable and socially just relationships with both human and non-human members of community. An urban ecology of feral food plants, which can be seen as a subset of alternative food networks, could provide informal, experiential and embodied ways to become more eco-centric as a species.

Homeless women's bodies often transgress ideas about what a woman's body "should be", perceived as dirty, undesirable and out of place. However, it can be used as capital within the homeless community, unless it is layered with other transgressions such as bigness, sexuality or colour.
I am interested in the ways in which the body of the homeless woman is constructed, how these constructions influence its treatment and performance and how the homeless female body intersects with other identities.

Research topic: Spatial variations in the attachment of meaning to political engagement.
The UK's political landscape has been tumultuous and divisive since the 2008 financial crisis, division epitomised by Brexit. The last decade of the UK's political economy situates a topical examination of geography's relationship with interpretations of what political action means in the UK, and how where people live might change what they want to express through political engagement. Study of socio-demographics, election outcomes, political attitudes, and social and economic policy, contextualised against neoliberalism and space, will produce timely insights such as the relationships behind variations in populist resonance across communities.

Donor Confusion: What Can Donors Learn from Black Lives Matter?
by Robert Stilson
The outpouring of support for Black Lives Matter (BLM) precipitated by the killing of George Floyd and the subsequent protests, riots, and calls for policy reform pose an important question: What lessons can donors learn from these events?
In some ways Black Lives Matter represents a perfect storm of donor confusion. It is a nebulous and somewhat subjective movement that suddenly found itself riding an emotional wave of national outrage at Floyd's horrific death. It became the amorphous embodiment of the earnest desire of millions of Americans to do something about that injustice and others.
Prospective donors to any organization should always understand two things:
Who is receiving the gift?
What the recipient believes in or advocates for.
The flood of contributions to the myriad organizational manifestations of Black Lives Matter highlights the need for all donors—from the individual to the multinational corporation—to take a step back and perform due diligence before giving.
Know Who Is Receiving the Gift
Donors should always understand which organizations they are giving to—and through what intermediaries. Black Lives Matter demonstrates how this can be more confusing that it sounds.
As explained here, the term "Black Lives Matter" can refer to everything from an individual's personal beliefs to a decentralized protest movement to a broad swath of charitable nonprofits to a loosely connected set of groups that operate under that name or closely related variants. A prospective donor must first navigate these multiple meanings.
The confusion does not end even if the donor elects to give to an organization that explicitly uses "black lives" in its name. BlackLivesMatter.com is operated by the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. But the BLM Global Network Foundation refers to itself by at least three different names on its own website and maintains a network of affiliated local chapters that all use the "Black Lives Matter" name. There is also a separate coalition called the Movement for Black Lives (of which the BLM Global Network Foundation is a member), in addition to wholly independent organizations such as Black Lives Matter of Greater New York and the Black Lives Matter Foundation.
Donor mix-ups between the unaffiliated BLM Global Network Foundation and Black Lives Matter Foundation, for example, were substantial. As the Capital Research Center has reported, this confusion extended even to the BLM Global Network Foundation's own fiscal sponsor, Thousand Currents, which reported over $90,000 in grants to the Black Lives Matter Foundation in its 2017 and 2018 IRS tax filings. Thousand Currents later admitted to BuzzFeed News that its filings in both years were erroneous.
Further complicating matters is the fact that even a donation made directly on BlackLivesMatter.com must first pass through two nonprofit intermediaries before reaching the BLM Global Network Foundation. The first is ActBlue Charities, which hosts the URL for the "Donate" page on BlackLivesMatter.com. ActBlue Charities functions as a fundraising pass-through for many left-leaning 501(c)(3) charities, collecting and distributing funds to their intended recipients for a 3.95 percent processing fee. ActBlue Charities reports these donations as one bulk sum in its yearly tax filings, effectively concealing the individual recipients.
From ActBlue Charities the donation is then routed to BLM Global Network Foundation's fiscal sponsor. Until recently this was a 501(c)(3) nonprofit called Thousand Currents, but as CRC's Hayden Ludwig first reported, as of July 2020 the fiscal sponsor is now the Tides Center, another 501(c)(3). As a project of its sponsor, BLM Global Network Foundation receives administrative support and can accept tax-deductible donations.
Finally, the fiscal sponsor disburses the funds earmarked for the BLM Global Network Foundation. In past years, this money has principally been used for travel, consulting, and personnel costs, which accounted for approximately 83.3 percent of total spending from 2017 to 2019, according to calculations by Andrew Kerr of The Daily Caller. In June 2020, as a result of recent donations, the BLM Global Network Foundation announced a $6.5 million organizing fund available to all of its officially affiliated local chapters.
Know What the Recipient Promotes
Donors should also understand the beliefs and ideologies of the organizations to which they contribute to ensure that those beliefs match their own. This can be particularly difficult with Black Lives Matter, since that term is commonly applied to a range of groups with widely varying missions.
Take the various corporate donations reported as contributions to the Black Lives Matter movement. Some of the listed recipients are longstanding and respected charities: The Coca-Cola Company announced a donation to 100 Black Men of America, a decades-old mentoring and education nonprofit network. Nike referenced its $40 million Black Lives Matter commitment by highlighting its work with several groups including the Jackie Robinson Foundation—another successful nonprofit focused on achievement in higher education.
But other pledges made under that same Black Lives Matter umbrella have gone to groups with more controversial agendas, including many that actually have "black lives" in their names. Absent close inspection, their radical nature can be easily overlooked, a point recently made by the Heritage Foundation's Mike Gonzalez and Andrew Olivastro and that warrants emphasis.
The BLM Global Network Foundation, for example, was co-founded by self-described "trained Marxists," seeks to "disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement" and until recently was fiscally sponsored by a nonprofit with a former domestic terrorist on its board of directors, as CRC reported.
Its local chapters have been described by Brad Polumbo of the Foundation for Economic Education as "essentially far-left front groups that use racial justice as a Trojan horse for leftist policy and ideology." One chapter, Black Lives Matter DC, advocates for "Black Liberation through the abolition of systems and institutions of white supremacy, capitalism, patriarchy and colonialism." At least a portion of donations to the BLM Global Network Foundation are made directly available to these radical chapters.
Numerous corporations have pledged or donated money to the BLM Global Network Foundation, as have over a million individuals by mid-June 2020. Do most of these benefactors really oppose the nuclear family and endorse Marxist organizing, or did they simply donate to an organization that uses a sentiment that they support in its name?
Another major coalition is the Movement for Black Lives, which is avowedly "anti-capitalist," believes in a "realignment of global power," and supports abolishing police and prisons. Its five-year plan seeks to "establish self-determined Black communities where Black people are in governing power" and engage "in local races that position us to govern; targeting congressional races to shift the balance of power federally . . . [and] identifying, recruiting, and training candidates." It's unclear how it could legally accomplish this as a fiscally sponsored project of the Alliance for Global Justice, a 501(c)(3) that is strictly prohibited from election interference.
The Movement for Black Lives was recently identified as a "top pick" for donors interested in criminal justice reform by Open Philanthropy program officer Chloe Cockburn. Open Philanthropy is principally funded by Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and his wife Cari Tuna. Ironically, Moskovitz owes his many billions to the very global capitalism that the Movement for Black Lives vigorously opposes. Does he really recommend dismantling that system through his philanthropic endeavors?
Wisely Employing Our Altruism
One of this country's greatest assets is the altruism and the general desire of Americans to do what they can to right wrongs. This instinct is amplified when those wrongs are as heart-wrenching as George Floyd's death. But in deploying this collective asset toward productive ends, donors need to exercise prudence and discretion to ensure they understand where their funds are being directed and for what purposes.

Eurozone governance - squaring the...
Eurozone governance - squaring the trilemma
23 September 2015 5:00 pm CEST
Christian Odendahl, chief economist at the Centre for European Reform (CER)
wiiw, Rahlgasse 3, 1060 Vienna, Library (2nd floor)
The euro crisis has revealed major shortcomings in the architecture of the eurozone. At the same time, citizens in Europe want to be governed by national democracies. Can the euro work with national democracies? This paper argues that in order to make the euro viable, economically and politically, policy-makers need to start from the assumption that all policies should be in the hands of national democracies, and only integrate those areas in which a common response is crucial for the survival of the eurozone. Such an approach would focus on banks and capital markets; the lender-of-last-resort function of the ECB to both banks and sovereigns; monetary policy and overall demand; and finding national, central-bank-like mechanisms to enforce strongly counter-cyclical regulatory and fiscal policies. A European approach to structural reforms, however, would play a minor role at best.
Christian Odendahl is chief economist at the Centre for European Reform (CER) in London, where he works on the eurozone, its institutions and political economy; monetary and fiscal policy; as well as German politics and economics. Before joining the CER, he worked as a senior economist at Roubini Global Economics. Until 2012, he was a regular contributor to The Economist's Free Exchange blog and has also worked on the editorial team of The Economist as a Marjorie Deane financial journalism fellow. Christian holds a PhD in economics from Stockholm University.

The Catholic Fiction Problem is a Marketing Problem (2005)
I wrote this post on Jim Manney's blog in 2005, and later presented this article as a talk at the Catholic Marketing Network's Catholic Writer's Conference Live. It's a little dated by now, but I believe it still has some good insights regarding the general problems with marketing fiction to Catholics.
This past semester I taught a short course in fiction writing at Christendom College, and this past week's class I gave them an overview of the secular and the Catholic publishing industry, particularly looking at the reasons why more Catholic fiction isn't being published by the more well-known Catholic publishers. I drew on my own experience as a freelance writer who occasionally reviewed Catholic fiction (I no longer write reviews on any regular basis) and my work as a Catholic author dealing with two different publishing houses. But also enlightening has been attending the annual Catholic Marketing Network Trade Shows with my husband, who owns a web design company, where I had a chance to see how Catholic marketing works in practice, as well as talking with bookstore owners and publishers whose daily work involves selling Catholic books.
My surmisal of why Catholic authors can't get Catholic publishers to publish their novels comes down, in the end, to the problem of the buying habits of Catholics.
First of all, many Catholics do not go to Catholic bookstores or websites at all, nor do they read Catholic papers or magazines. Thus they are "unreachable" by advertising in Catholic publications or in stores. Let's set aside these Catholics (and the enormous problem they represent) for now and talk about the Catholics who do actually go to Catholic bookstores, websites, and read Catholic publications -- both those who visit a Catholic bookstore twice in their lives and those who subscribe to several magazines and papers and regularly order from Catholic catalogs.
These Catholics go to specifically Catholic outlets such as bookstores, and now, to a smaller degree, websites, for two main reasons: gifts and catechetical materials. The bulk of what you see at the CMN trade shows reflects this: rows of statues, knicknacks, gifts for First Communions and Baptisms, and books on theology, the saints, catechetics, apologetics - books that enable the buyers to either educate themselves or others (ie: their children or relatives' children) about the faith. Catholics simply do not go to Catholic outlets to find entertainment. If they want to be entertained, they turn on the TV, go to Blockbuster or Barnes and Noble or Amazon.
This is one reason why Catholic writers of quality and ambition invariably end up publishing with secular companies, not Catholic ones. However, I will note that in general, the Catholic authors who do publish successfully in the secular world do not necessarily succeed because they are reaching a Catholic audience. Their works may be faith-filled witnesses to the Catholic faith in subtle or bold ways, but these authors are successful because their works strike a chord in Protestants, Jews, the unchurched, and people of other faiths - NOT because they are reaching a Catholic audience who is eagerly identifying themselves with the Catholic author's faith. Thus Catholics can be surprised to learn that authors like J.R.R. Tolkien in the past and Patrick O'Brien today (author of Master and Commander) are Catholics.
So, thus far, the marketing connection of Catholic authors with a Catholic readership has still not been made to the extent where it has significantly impacted the buying patterns of Catholics. This is the hurdle that every Catholic publisher faces who considers publishing a Catholic fiction book. The majority of their audience is not looking for this product, is not aware that they need this product, and is not even aware that this product exists. Until something happens to significantly change the buying habits of the average Catholic-book-buying Catholic, Catholic fiction will remain a nonentity in the publishing world.
But there are signs that this is changing. The main engine of change is what I call the need for a subculture.
While there are other forces that drive Catholics to search for a subculture, we can't ignore the influences of the Protestant evangelical subculture on your average Catholic. The influences here range from the impact of homeschooling (formerly a Protestant phenomenon but now a strong Catholic movement) to the influx of Protestant converts into the Church to the friendly relations between Catholics and evangelical Protestants since Vatican II. Many of these influences result in Catholics borrowing or buying Christian products such as fiction novels or music CDs, but the main result of this influence is that many Catholics are starting to desire a Catholic or Christian subculture, analogous to the Christian evangelical subculture that already exists, a subculture with its own educational materials, music, tv channels, fiction novels, video games, and even movies.
There is also the growing perception among Catholics that mainstream values and culture are becoming increasingly amoral and sometimes anti-Catholic, which in many cases causes them to try to create or search for alternative forms of culture. Enough has been written on this phenomenon that I think I don't need to explain it further.
Whether Catholics desire a subculture because they are traditionalist Catholics longing for a 1950's style Catholicism or simply parents concerned about the debasement and obscenity in their children's entertainment, the fact remains that a steadily growing number of Catholics, especially Catholic parents, are searching for alternative culture and are putting their money towards creating one. And this subculture that is being created through their buying choices does include (or will include) entertainment.
At the Catholic Marketing Network, you can already identify products that are take-offs of similar products in the evangelical market. For example, vacation bible school curriculums for Catholics are being produced based on Christian models. The "K4J" (Kids for Jesus) clubs for middle-school children produced by Regnum Christi also remind one of similar Protestant clubs. As the main thrust of most Catholic publishing is education (I'm here including the behemoth companies that produce Catholic religious texts for schools, now mostly secular/Catholic conglamorates as well as smaller but still large companies like Our Sunday Visitor whose mission is to publish materials to inform Catholics about their faith), it's natural that the first alternative "subculture" products that have found publishers and marketing outlets are educational in nature.
But just as the Protestant presses that started out publishing Bibles and Bible studies in the 60's and 70's are now publishing several diverse branches of Christian fiction, it's possible, maybe even probable that as the Catholic subculture grows, it will expand to include entertainment. In fact, this is happening already, as the number of self-published Catholic fiction books and small publishing houses of Catholic fiction continues to grow, and as Catholic bookstores start to carry evangelical products such as video games and movies in their stores (you can find sellers of both at the CMN shows).
Still, the fact remains that as of yet, the desire for a purely Catholic entertainment on the part of the Catholic consumer has not yet emerged as a significant marketing force.
For the Catholic novelist, the first step is, I think, to correctly identify the problem. The problem is not with Puritanical or backward-thinking Catholic publishers or even with badly-written novels -- the problem is at its core an audience problem. The problem is a marketing problem, and in order to solve it, Catholic writers need to think like marketers, not having the leisure to merely think exclusively like artists. (Of course, there is the chance that too much thinking about marketing will make them lose sight of their art, but that's a balance the Catholic writer who wants to succeed in this market will have to negotiate.)
I also point out to my students that if the goal of creating an artistic Catholic subculture is to succeed, we don't merely need good writers, but good fiction editors, good agents, good marketers - people who are working at every level to create quality Catholic fiction with compelling storylines and literary quality. I have told my students in my fiction writing classes that if they are fascinated with fiction but can't write it themselves, God might want them to learn about fiction in order to work with others who can write it. A joint cooperation between publishers, editors, and writers - and marketers! -- is desperately needed.
The marketing realities of the problem include the fact I mentioned at the beginnning, that too many Catholics are unreachable with conventional Catholic advertising. I have a hunch that the only way to reach them is through the parishes and through the Catholic school system, but that of course, involves its own problems, which are beyond the scope of this article. But brainstorming in this area might be wise.
I would say that since Catholics currently buy books as gifts and to educate themselves and others, a fruitful approach might be to write a Catholic fiction series aimed at Catholic teens. As a young adult fiction writer myself, I know that Catholic parents are always looking for good books to give to their teens and pre-teens, and they recognize that fiction is an ideal way to do this, since teens resent 'preachiness.' A novel that can present the faith with subtlety, ingrained in the storyline without subverting the story for merely catechetical purposes might succeed with them. This was my rationale for creating the John Paul 2 High series.
Editing the series, which means that I need to work with the artists (the writers) as well as the marketers (the publishers) means that I've had to strike a balance between the two. On the one hand, I have to focus on getting the writers to simply tell a good story and tell it well and consistently, crossing out parts that are too preachy and trying to embed the messages in the actions of the characters. On the other hand, I have to keep giving the publishers ideas on how they can market this series to parents and educators as a way of helping to keep their kids Catholic. It can make a person feel schizophrenic at the worst of times, but, at the best of times, can give the pleasure of satisfying people at both ends of the spectrum, of making a unity out of the solitary artist and the Catholic community.
There's plenty of room for more good Catholic young adult fiction, and I wouldn't discourage any publisher or writer from looking at our strategy as a solution that might work for them. Of course, we don't know if the John Paul 2 High series will succeed. It can fail to keep teens interested. It can fail to sell with Catholic parents. Failure to weigh in on either end will send it plummeting off the seesaw into the black hole of marketing failures. But for right now, reading the drafts of the books that are being written, I have confidence that it will succeed. And I'm working, and praying, for it to succeed.
And if it doesn't, well, there's always the chance that better, smarter people who love Catholic fiction will learn from our mistakes. Ad gloriam Deo.

Lulu Atlantis and the Quest for True Blue Love is a 2008 novel by Patricia Martin.

Plot
Lulu Atlantis lives in Sweet Pea Lane. She has a baby brother and a dad that is busy trying to save endangered animals. Lulu tells her troubles to her best friend, a spider named Harry. Harry is a talking spider that offers good advice. The spider says in order for her to find true blue love, she will have to go farther than her backyard. The four stories, that are linked together, makes her realize that she is loved.

Reception
A Publishers Weekly review says, "The scenarios are whimsical; the emotions run true." A Kirkus Reviews review says, "There's enough good old-fashioned curiosity and, quite frankly, weirdness in this early chapter book to overcome its potentially cutesy underpinnings. With descriptive sentences and a penchant for eclectic storytelling, this is an author to watch." Charlotter Decker, of Library Media Connection, reviewed the book saying, "This would be a good read-aloud. Let's hope for more stories featuring Lulu."
