Please send all confidential inquiries to CAP Center Director. Applicants will be considered until all positions are filled.


Parliamentary announcement on Jobseeker's Allowance Sanctions Early Warning Trial.
In October 2015, the Department for Work and Pensions announced that it would be trialling a new process for JSA sanctions in response to the Work and Pensions Select Committee's recommendations to review the JSA sanction process.
The trial was delivered between April and September 2016 and involved 6,500 claimants. It tested an approach of adding an additional step into the sanction decision making process, by informing claimants through a 'Sanction Warning Letter' that, on the basis of information available, the Decision Maker intended to apply a sanction. Claimants were then given a further 14 days (on top of the standard 7 days they already receive before the decision is initially considered) to submit evidence of good reason for not meeting their conditionality.
The volume of claimants that provide reasons for not meeting their conditionality requirements.
The volume of claimants sanctioned who request a Mandatory Reconsideration of the initial sanction decision.
The service received by the claimant and whether this represented value for money.
The effectiveness of the process as perceived by Decision Makers.
Results from the qualitative evaluation showed that there was support from staff for the intentions underpinning the trial, however evidence from interviews with staff suggested that in practice the trial appeared to make little difference to the outcomes of claimants.
The DWP does not consider that the benefits of the approach are sufficient to justify the extra time and cost it adds to the process and is now exploring the feasibility of an alternative process to give claimants written warnings, instead of a sanction, for a first sanctionable failure to attend a Work-Search Review.
The aim will be to conduct a small-scale proof of concept to obtain qualitative feedback from staff on this new process, followed by any subsequent tests. More details will be made available once DWP have progressed with the design work.
"The DWP has not said how many of those in the trial who were sanctioned went on to successfully appeal that decision.
"Recent Universal credit statistics show that for while 72% of mandatory reconsiderations result in a sanction being upheld, significantly four out of five appeals are successful (81%).

Daniel Radcliffe has spoken out about Johnny Depp's casting in Fantastic Beasts
Frederica Palmer January 15, 2018 1:37 pm
He didn't hold back
Ever since Amber Heard took out a restraining order against Johnny Depp back in May 2016, fans having been calling for the actor to be removed from J.K. Rowling's Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them franchise.
Amber said her ex-husband was 'verbally and physically abusive' during their relationship, before dropping the case the following August when the couple released a joint statement about their split.
Although the joint statement didn't comment on the allegations of physical abuse, it did state that their relationship was 'intensely passionate and at times volatile'.
Throughout the controversy, both Warner Brothers and author J.K. Rowling stood by the decision to cast Johnny Depp in the role of Gellert Grindelwald.
J.K. Rowling even released a statement on the matter recently, saying: 'Harry Potter fans had legitimate questions and concerns about our choice to continue with Johnny Depp in the role.'
'As David Yates, long-time Potter director, has already said, we naturally considered the possibility of recasting. I understand why some have been confused and angry about why that didn't happen.'
J.K. Rowling's statement also added that she and the filmmakers were 'not only comfortable sticking with our original casting, but genuinely happy to have Johnny playing a major character in the movies.'
The statement didn't go down too well with fans, and now Daniel Radcliffe has spoken out on the controversy surrounding Johnny Depp's involvement in the film.
Talking to Entertainment Weekly, Daniel said: 'It's a very hard thing for me [to talk about]' because the Harry Potter films 'gave me a great start in life and an amazing job.'

'I can see why people are frustrated with the response that they were given from that,' he continued. 'I'm not saying anything that anybody hasn't already said – and this is a weird analogy to draw – in the NFL, there are lots of players arrested for smoking weed and there is other people's behaviour that goes way beyond that and it's tolerated because they're very famous players.
I suppose the thing I was struck by was, we did have a guy who was reprimanded for weed on the [Harry Potter] film, essentially, so obviously what Johnny has been accused of is much greater than that.'
Fans have been quick to agree with Daniel's query, and praised the actor for speaking his mind on the matter.

The Long Road Home: Miracle's Happy Tail
In November, we shared the amazing story of a tiny kitten who survived a 30-mile journey under the hood of a car. We named her Miracle, and although her ordeal was harrowing, it was far from the end of her story. For today's Happy Tail, we caught up with Miracle's adopter to find out how this brave little kitten is doing in her new forever home.
When Megan Burak logged on to the ASPCA website one day last fall, she had no idea that her life was about to change forever. A self-described "animal person," Megan works as an adoptions counselor and animal socializer at the ASPCA Adoption Center. She and her boyfriend had had many conversations about adopting a senior cat, but the couple planned to wait until after the holidays to begin their official search for a pet. However, as they soon learned, things don't always go according to plan.
That November morning, Megan read Miracle's story on the ASPCA blog. "Miracle was a beautiful cat from the pictures," she recalls, "but I knew it was very likely that she would be undersocialized. Many stray kittens have not had enough human contact and can be very shy and fearful." She didn't think much more about the kitten until she headed to the Adoption Center for her volunteer shift, where she finally met Miracle in person.
Miracle after her harrowing rescue.
"The first thing she did when she saw me was hiss," Megan laughs. As expected, the 30-mile journey and suspenseful rescue had left Miracle feeling timid and vulnerable. She had even been given a special "privacy box" to help her feel more secure. "The hissing might be the point where most people say, 'no thanks,'" Megan says, but the cat-expert was intrigued. "I have a very quiet household and I knew that if she and I clicked, I'd be able to provide her with the support she needed."
Megan was patient, and over the course of the next hour, something amazing happened: Miracle warmed up. She slowly ventured from her hiding spot, and by the end of their session, she was asking Megan for food, petting, and handling. "Miracle went from hiding to a purring ball of fluff," she says. "I saw the potential for her to learn to trust people and become a pet rather than a street cat. This little kitten was just asking for someone to give her the TLC she needed to come out of her shell." Against all prior plans, Megan knew she had found her new pet. She officially adopted Miracle and changed her name to Luna.
Despite the kitten's progress at the Adoption Center, Luna still had some work to do, and her adjustment from street-cat to pet-cat wasn't always smooth sailing. "When I first took her home, she was very, very nervous," Megan recalls. "She was scared every time my boyfriend or I entered the room." The couple took turns spending twenty minutes each hour teaching the fearful kitten that they were there to give her food, love and attention. On the second day, she began playing, and by two weeks later, she had free roam of the apartment. Now she's the queen of the castle.
"As Luna has gotten more bold, she has also gotten very talkative, Megan says. "My boyfriend and I crack up because she has a very raspy meow and sounds more like an old man than the tiny kitten she is!" Though she is still easily startled, Luna has adjusted wonderfully. "She is learning how to just relax and be taken care of, rather than fight to survive. It's been very rewarding and extra sweet to see her be affectionate, and I know I made the right choice with my little Luna."

Jordan Retro 1 AJKO returns in 2014?
The Eastbay launch calendar ends with an interesting listing for March 15th 2014.
"Jordan Retro 1 Hi OG KD" Since it seems unlikely that Nike's signature KD line would do a mashup with the Jordan Brand Retro 1, we suspect it's simply a typo for the return of the Air Jordan Retro 1 KO aka AJKO.
The AJKO was last seen 4 years ago, simply a canvas version of the iconic Retro 1. The colorway doesn't give away much since there were 3 releases of the canvas AJKO with Black, White and Varsity red, including the coveted "Black Toe". We know the UNC and Georgetown AJKO are slated for release sometime this year as well, so it seems likely we will se a classic "Bulls" colorway of some sort as well.
A Typo, an all new Jordan, or just a glitch? We should know soon as March quickly approaches.
**UPDATE 2/18** Finish Line has confirmed the release will be a Jordan Retro 1 KO in the "Chicago" (AKA Red Toe) colorway.

Kubient's Promising Ad-Tech Potential Earns Coverage from Leading Financial News Website SmallCaps Daily
By: NewMediaWire
New York, NY - (NewMediaWire) - November 20, 2020 - Kubient, Inc. (NASDAQ: KBNT) (NASDAQ: KBNTW) ("Kubient" or the "Company"), a cloud-based software platform for digital advertising, was the subject of a recent article on leading financial news website and publisher, SmallCapsDaily. Kubient has demonstrated growth and exciting progress within the advertising industry, which is one of the industries that has experienced the most radical change after the evolution and impact of technology and social media on the world at large. Kubient offers two products, the Audience Cloud platform for real-time trading of programmatic advertising, and KAI, its artificial intelligence (AI) technology that ensures real-time prevention of digital ad fraud. SmallCapsDaily's interview with Kubient describes the Company's offerings in more detail, the outsized market opportunity, and the impact of COVID-19 on Kubient and the industry as a whole.
Key Takeaways from the SmallCapsDaily article featuring Kubient:
Kubient's main offering is its Audience Cloud platform which acts as a marketplace to help advertisers as well as publishers to transact directly with each other on an open, end-to-end real-time bidding platform for programmatic digital advertising.
KAI, Kubient's second offering is its AI/ machine learning platform; Kubient is an early entrant within this space and its product operates during auctions for digital ads, using machine learning to identify bots which may drive up bids. KAI demonstrated a 32% reduction in ad fraud for a global marketing company during a beta test in Q1 2020.
● Kubient recently closed on a public offering of 2.5 million shares priced at $5 per share and raised close to $12.3 million in gross proceeds. The public issue took place after a particularly solid quarter where the company delivered over $1 million in revenues backed by the beta testing of its fraud prevention AI solution.

"PERSONAL WITH BILL RHODEN" DEBUTS ON EPIX JUNE 11TH – GRANT AND CALVIN HILL TALK ABOUT TEAM OWNERSHIP, THE CLASHING WORLD OF CULTURAL ISSUES AND THE CHALLENGES OF PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES TODAY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: FULL SHOW AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST
"PERSONAL WITH BILL RHODEN" DEBUTS ON EPIX JUNE 11TH
Grant and Calvin Hill Talk About Team Ownership, The Clashing World of Cultural Issues and The Challenges of Professional Athletes Today
Features most recent and timely sit-down with the NFL Legend and his Superstar NBA son
New York, NY (June 2, 2014) – EPIX, the premium entertainment network, announced today that the premiere of a new 30-minute special series, "Personal with Bill Rhoden," will air on Wednesday, June 11 at 8pm ET with a pair of America's most elite athletes and personalities, NFL Hall-of-Famer Calvin Hill and his son, recently retired NBA superstar Grant Hill. Recorded last month in Atlanta, the show will touch on many of the current topics in American sports, from the Donald Sterling situation to race relations and the changing views and acceptance of the LGBT community to the on-going issues professional athletes and men of color face in society today. In the discussion, Grant talks frankly about his dealing with Sterling and the challenges of being a professional athlete today, while Calvin gives his unique perspective on the same issues from the vantage point of both a parent and a legendary star in the NFL. Bill Rhoden, an award-winning sports journalist with The New York Times, conducts the up close and intimate interview.
"We are very excited to have these two iconic personalities as our first guests on 'Personal with Bill Rhoden,'" said Mark Greenberg EPIX CEO. "Our goal with all our documentaries is to discuss the issues of today, and we could not have a more timely presentation. It will be a memorable half-hour presented only as a journalist like Bill Rhoden can do."
Grant Hill was a seven time All-Star during an 18 year NBA career with the Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Clippers following an All-America career at Duke University, where he helped lead the Blue Devils to a pair of NCAA Titles. Calvin Hill was a four-time Pro Bowl selection during a 13-year career with the Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins and Cleveland Browns after a standout career as a collegian at Yale University. They also have the unique tie of being a father/son combination to have both been named Rookie of the Year in their respective sports, Calvin in 1969-70 and Grant in 1994 – 95. More importantly than their work on the field was the respect both have gained in the business world and in their personal lives as role models and mentors to people of all ages, creeds and color.
"Personal with Bill Rhoden" is a give and take between two generations of elite athletes, as each plays off Rhoden's questions on the world we live in today and where athletes and race factor into bigger discussions in society. Calvin Hill touches on the issues he faced in the segregated south and how he has had to adjust some of his views as the world has evolved with a new-found social acceptance of people from diverse backgrounds, while Grant Hill expounds upon the use of social media as a tool for athletes to have a voice today, his reaction to the goings-on around the LA Clippers (which he is purportedly involved with one of the bidding groups), and the new-found consciousness of the American athlete in the world today, among other topics.

The Pan Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance (pCPA) has ended negotiations with Alexion.
The quest to get public funding of the drug eculizumab (Soliris) for aHUS patients in Canada (the only pharmaceutical treatment for them) has been ongoing since July 2013. After two years of advocating, the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care decided in February 2015 to provide interim funding of this drug for aHUS patients who meet defined criteria. In August of 2015, aHUS Canada was pleased to hear that the pCPA (pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance) finally began negotiations with eculizumab's manufacturer, Alexion, and were hopeful that permanent funding criteria would be created for all of Canada.
After months of requesting, aHUS Canada was granted a meeting on February 8, 2016, with the Executive Officer (E.O.) of the Ontario Public Drug Plans who is the lead negotiator for this indication on behalf of the pCPA. We voiced our concerns from the patient perspective . On Tuesday February 16 we had another telephone conversation with the E.O. and were told that the pCPA had ended negotiations with Alexion. Below is a link to the statement from the E.O. on behalf of the pCPA.
To state that the clinical evidence for Soliris does not demonstrate improved health outcomes is denying science. The clinical evidence has been proven in many leading scientific journals. As stated in the New England Journal of Medicine published in June 2013, "Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome is a genetic, life-threatening, chronic disease of complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy. Affected patients have a lifelong risk of systemic clinical complications of thrombotic microangiopathy, including damage to multiple organ systems (e.g., the central nervous system, kidneys,heart, and gastrointestinal tract). Plasma exchange or infusion may transiently maintain normal levels of hematologic measures but does not treat the underlying systemic disease. End-stage renal disease (ESRD) or death occurs in approximately 33 to 40% of patients during the first clinical manifestation of atypical hemolytic–uremic syndrome. Within 1 year after a diagnosis of this syndrome, up to 65% of patients treated with plasma exchange or infusion sustain permanent renal damage, have progression to ESRD, or die. The results of eculizumab therapy represent a substantial advancement in the treatment of patients who have this severe and life-threatening systemic disease." The New England Journal of Medicine article proved that aHUS patients treated with eculizumab were able to discontinue plasma infusion/exchange and dialysis therapies, and saw improved kidney function, reduced blood vessel damage and decreased risk of blood clots.
The effectiveness of eculizumab has revolutionized the management and outcomes of aHUS and has been described as a break through treatment for aHUS where previously there was no approved treatment and has opened up the possibility of renal transplantation in patients with aHUS. It is about time that Canada's Health Ministries acknowledge the proven scientific evidence and find a way to provide this treatment before any more patients fall victim to this severe and life threatening chronic disease.
aHUS Canada will continue to advocate and educate in order that aHUS patients receive the treatment they need.


Today I'm sharing my last two projects from October's Create magazine. I'm doubling up because they were both made with the same supplies.
There was no requirement to use a sketch for the Halloween Gallery, but of course I did anyway! This was made with the Scaredy Cat Paper pack from Close To My Heart, Bazill cardstock (because I did not have 2 sheets of the matching Thistle CS from CTMH yet), and the Halloween Greetings stamp set with Black and Sunset ink. I also used some White Enamel Stars that I colored with an orange Copic marker.
Don't be scared by how complicated this looks! While I used the sketch exactly as drawn, there are several other examples in Create where they used a looser interpretation. And this really isn't as hard as it looks either. It just took a little thinking, and I temporarily adhered a triangle (from the art department) to my paper trimmer so everything was cut at the same angle.
Again, I used the Scaredy Cat paper pack. I switched to stars from the Scaredy Cat Assortment because all three colors were already there for me - no coloring! I again pulled out the Halloween Greetings stamp set for my broom and sentiment, using black ink and White Daisy pigment ink for stamping.
Thanks for checking out all of my Create projects this month! Be sure to go check it out for yourself, and maybe even submit something for the January issue based on one of their free sketches. Speaking of which, the sketches are available for free download in the Scrapbook Generation online store. Past month's sketches are all there as well.
Great scrap page!!! I love that paper!! Cute pix!!

TRI Education and Outreach
Taking Action on Toxics: Training Communities and Engaging Experts to Reduce Pollution Project
The Environmental Protection Agency, Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Project plans, organizes, and implements national conferences in Washington, DC; and face-to-face training workshops in cities across the United States and quarterly online webinars. These outreach and training events are designed to increase awareness and use of Toxics Release Inventory and other toxic chemical data by vulnerable communities, scientists, experts, industries, non-governmental organizations, and the general public. The outreach activities involve regional workshops held in different regions of the United States. The content for each workshop is designed by the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice in collaboration with regional partners based on identified needs of the target population, with emphasis on how TRI data can be used to meet local goals. The project also involves producing and implementing training activities that include quarterly webinars and a national training conference every 18 months. National TRI webinars are offered each quarter of the year. The webinars are developed and implemented to effectively communicate information about Toxic Release Inventory data that is available from EPA, and to teach skills in accessing the TRI database, utilizing online mapping tools, and interpreting TRI data.
Webinar: Building Partnerships to Support Sustainable Manufacturing: Lessons from Louisiana's Chemical Corridor
Join the Dillard University Deep South Center for Environmental Justice on Tuesday, November 21st from 12:00-1:00 EDT for a free webinar: " Building Partnerships to Support Sustainable Manufacturing: Lessons from Louisiana's Chemical Corridor," presented by Ms. Elizabeth Shephard, Founder and CEO of LifeCity, LLC. Louisiana's Chemical Corridor has long been known as "cancer alley" with historically some of the highest rates of toxicity in the country. With the support of a federal manufacturing designation, new partners have come around the table unlike ever before, including environmental groups, our local Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP), industry associations, and government leaders.
1) This presentation will review the market demands and federal incentives that support sustainable business development in the manufacturing sector and have been leveraged in Louisiana. This includes the federal government's place-based initiatives such as U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD's) Promise Zones and the Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership (IMCP), as well as frameworks such as the E3: Economy, Energy and Environment program.
2) This discussion will reveal some of the important market statistics that help drive the business case for pollution prevention.
3) Liz will discuss the most important tools utilized in Louisiana to help make new relationships and build bridges where there previously was limited discussion across industries and sectors of the economy. Participants will leave with a clear list of resources and strategies to support sustainable business development through their own communities.

Webinar - Integrating California and Mexico's TRI Data into CalEnvironScreen
Webinar Description
Dr. Vanessa Galaviz presented, "Integrating California and Mexico's TRI Data into CalEnvironScreen" the California Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool CalEnviroScreen) https://oehha.ca.gov/calenviroscreen which is a science-based method for evaluating multiple pollution sources in a community while accounting for vulnerability to pollution. The information provided by this tool has been used to focus compliance and enforcement activities, and to direct funding from several state programs. The tool uses 19 indicators of pollution and vulnerability based on publicly available data. Among the pollution indicators is the Risk-Screening Environmental Indicators (RSEI) model based on Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) data. California communities located near the Mexican border raised concerns that local impacts were ranked too low because CalEnviroScreen failed to incorporate cross-border pollution.
Key Take Away Points:
CalEnviroScreen is a mapping tool that helps identify California communities suffering from cumulative impacts of multiple pollutants and where people are especially vulnerable to pollution's effects.
CalEnviroScreen is being used to assist the State of California to identify environmental justice communities for investment of proceeds from the State's cap-and-trade program.
This presentation covers the work done to improve CalEnviroScreen with respect to California-Mexico cross-border pollution, including Toxic Releases from Facilities.

The Healthy Environment and Community Assessment Partnership (HECAP): Effects of Climate Change on Environmental Exposure in Local Communities of Indianapolis
Webinar Recording:
Dr. Yi Wang of Indiana University's Richard Fairbanks School of Public Health discussed the Healthy Environment and Community Assessment Partnership (HECAP) and how it can inform decision-making in an environmental justice context. HECAP contains storylines in GIS map format that demonstrates how vulnerable populations can be affected by environmental exposure under climate change threats (heat, air pollution, flooding); HECAP also demonstrates burden of environmental hazardous exposures at census tract level, providing tools for environmental justice. The data used in the HECAP project are publicly available and the outputs can be replicated for other geographical scales.
Dr. Yi Wang is an Assistant Professor of Environmental Health at Indiana University Richard Fairbanks School of Public Health. Dr. Wang's research interests are health effects of air pollution, toxic release and climate change in susceptible populations and communities. He has been working on research for climate change vulnerability and adaptation in disadvantaged communities of Indianapolis. He is interested in studying prenatal exposure to toxic release, greenspace and other environmental factors on newborns and early childhood. He also plans to study communication of climate change co-benefits to promote policy to curb effects of climate change on disadvantaged communities. Dr. Wang holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Health from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and completed his postdoctoral training in Epidemiology at Brown University.
Webinar - Community-Driven Environmental Collaborative Problem-Solving
S.C. State Representative Harold Mitchell will discuss his role as Executive Director of ReGenesis and how he leveraged an OEJ grant to make a real and visible difference in Spartanburg through a successful Public-Private-Community Partnership. He will emphasize key factors that led to the successful collaboration between community residents, industry and government in Spartanburg, what it took to bring the various stakeholders together and build the necessary bridges to achieve objectives, and the lessons learned that could help other communities to build bridges with local industry and local/state/federal government elected officials and agencies to reduce pollution and revitalize their communities. EPA will add how TRI Can Assist Community-Driven Revitalization Efforts with an emphasis on the benefits of using TRI data to help communities identify industrial toxic releases, pollution prevention activities, and how to prioritize efforts to reduce pollution, and how TRI can help play a role in environmental collaborative problem solving initiatives like the one in Spartanburg.

September 2021: The Chet Holmgren Story
Chet Holmgren, a kid from Minneapolis, Minnesota, is the potential #1 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. He stands at 7'1 with a 7'5 plus wingspan, he's the best rim protecting prospect since Anthony Davis, he can grab a rebound and put the ball on the deck, coast to coast, with handles like a guard, and can shoot the ball from 30 feet from the basket.
This is the story of Chet Holmgren, the best NBA Draft Prospect in the world.
Chet has not always been a consensus top 10 player in his high school class like some other top picks such as Anthony Davis, Ben Simmons, Zion Williamson, and Cade Cunningham. When Chet began his basketball journey in the 3rd grade, he was an extremely uncoordinated kid. His 3rd grade coach was Larry Suggs, the father of current Orlando Magic Point Guard, Jalen Suggs. Yes, interestingly enough Jalen and Chet were teammates since they were just 10 years old.
Larry said the first time Chet showed up to his practice, "He showed up in cargo shorts, he wasn't very tall for his age at that time, and he frankly was NOT a good player." But Suggs also said, "He tried very hard" and "it was interesting to see him still hanging in there with such a talented group of kids."
Chet recalled that in his first years playing basketball he would only sub into games if his team was up by 30 points with a few minutes left.
But according to Larry Suggs, Chet was an incredible listener. Suggs taught Chet the fundamentals of shooting the ball from the perimeter at an early age and because Chet wasn't abnormally tall yet, he also developed his ball handling.
But while Chet hadn't hit a growth spurt quite yet, everybody close to him knew that his father, David Holmgren, was a 7 foot tall former Division 1 basketball player at the University of Minnesota.
In the year before he entered high school Chet hit a massive growth spurt of 8 inches. All of a sudden he was a 6'9 freshman in high school who was running off flare screens and knocking down triples at the varsity level for Minnehaha academy.
In his Freshman year he and teammate Jalen Suggs led Minnehaha to a state championship. Chet continued to grow and was a true 7 footer by his sophomore year, where he and Jalen led Minnehaha to their second straight Minnesota 3A state title.
Despite this early success, Chet was still ranked outside the top 60 players in that 2021 class.
This was until the summer of 2019, where he went off in the AAU circuit. He won MVP of the Under Armor Association tournament and went viral for crossing up Steph Curry at his select camp. D1 offers flooded in.
That summer Chet went from the 61st ranked to the 4th ranked player in 247sports recruiting rankings.
He kept that play going into his Junior season where he helped lead Minnehaha to a 25-3 record and a nationally televised win over Bronny James and Sierra Canyon.
Chet's senior season was no different. He absolutely dominated, playing for Minnehaha Academy without Jalen Suggs for the first time since 3rd grade. Minnehaha won another Minnesota state title and Chet rose to #1 in the class of 2021 rankings. Finally, shortly after this title, he made his commitment to play at Gonzaga following in the footsteps of Jalen Suggs.
August 2021: The Unbelievable Origin Story of Jusuf Nurkic
Jusuf Nurkic went from a kid in a small village in Bosnia to an NBA center, all because his Father sent 15 grown men to the hospital in a fight.
At this point in his career, Jusuf Nurkic has solidified himself as one of the best starting centers in the NBA when healthy. Before the past 2 seasons, where he battled injuries, Nurkic was averaging about 16 points and 10 rebounds per game.
Nurkic is simply a monster on the interior. He stands at 6'11 and 290 pounds. With a frame like that, it is natural to wonder whose genes were passed down to this dominant NBA center. As it turns out, Nurkic's father plays a massive, and quite peculiar role, in Nurkic's journey to the NBA.
Jusuf was a 5'10 14 year old growing up in Bosnia. He was a part of a working class family and never had picked up a basketball in his life. Many kids today that are on the track to become NBA players are already playing year round against elite level AAU competition by the time they're 14 years old.
Jusuf was a normal sized 14 year old kid with zero basketball experience. Based on that alone, you wouldn't think he was a future NBA player. But his Dad, Hariz Nurkic, is one of the largest men on the planet, standing at an astounding 7 feet tall and weighing 420 pounds.
Hariz was a cop in Nurkic's hometown of Tuzla, Bosnia. One day, while on the job, he ended up in a 15 person fight. There was a large brawl going on and it was Hariz's job to put an end to it. But Hariz didn't just break up the fight, he ended up joining it. By the end of this fight, all 14 of the other men were allegedly sent to the hospital by Hariz.
This story seems like it could be exaggerated or even just blatantly false. But Jusuf has actually confirmed this story to be true, and the story has to hold some truth, because a Bosnian reporter wrote about this very fight in a newspaper at the time.
This newspaper story circulated enough to reach the attention of a baskeball agent named Enes Trnovcevic. After hearing this story, Trnovcevic dropped everything and traveled to meet Hariz to ask him one thing... whether or not he had any sons.
It was then that Hariz introduced him to his 14 year old Jusuf.
Jusuf says he remembers meeting Trnovcevic saying, "He looked at me, and I was normal sized, but he said, 'That kid is going to be in the NBA." Enes took Jusuf under his wing, brought him to Slovenia, and Jusuf started playing basketball at the youth level.
At the age of 17 Nurkic played in a Nike International Junior Tournament in Belgrade, which is when he first started gaining attention from international scouts. He had grown almost a foot, close to his current 6'11 height, and quickly developed an advanced post-up game.
In October of 2012, Nurkic signed with the Croatian team, Cedevita Zagreb.
6 years after Enes Trnocovic took him under his wing, in 2014, Nurkic was taken in the first round of the NBA Draft by the Denver Nuggets.
Hariz Nurkic, a 7 foot tall cop from a small town in Bosnia beating up 14 men in a fight, is the reason why Jusuf Nurkic is in the NBA today.

We're one more week in March Madness baby names 2018, which means it's time for the Girls Semi Finals.
One of the QuarterFinal matches surprised me. Another one was expected – but oh golly, did the winner win big! It's always fun to see which names really appeal when you're forced to make a choice between just two options.
I think I have a guess for the girls' winner. (Maybe you do, too!) It's so different from the boys' contest, which feels completely up-in-the-air.
Her Royal Highness General Leia fell to My Fair Lady Eliza. That's not a surprise necessarily, but the percentages are staggering: Eliza swept up 73% of the vote!
I didn't know which way the Marigold versus Esme match-up would go. But you voted Marigold up, 60% against Esme's 40%. I had Esme pegged as a possible winner after the opening round, so that one stunned me.
Maisie topped Sabine, 57% to 43%. Maisie really is a rising favorite.
The two rarest names on the list made for a tough contest to call. But Elowen, a long-time Appellation Mountain reader favorite, garnered 62% of the vote, against Anouk's mere 38%.
And so we move on to our SemiFinals, where two E names and two M names battle it out for the right to advance to the Final Round.
I know the two names I think will make it to the finals, but it's not up to me – this one is up to you. Please vote!
El- names feel unstoppable, from Top 20 Ella to classics like Elizabeth. Eliza, of course, is that regal name's sassier sister, a short form that stands on its own. It's got history galore, from Audrey Hepburn's unforgettable character in My Fair Lady to nineteenth century First Lady Eliza McCardle Johnson.
Elowen is different. A Cornish import, it means elm tree. It's a modern nature name, the equivalent of River or Willow in English.
But they both have tremendous appeal. In fact, they've both appeared in prior March Madnesses, as far back as 2012.
Vintage Maisie fits right in with Sadie and so many comeback choices finding favor today. The name rose after Henry James' 1897 novel What Maisie Knew became a movie in 2012, re-entering the US Top 1000 in 2014. It's big in the UK, too.
Downton Abbey gets credit for Marigold's higher profile. For now, the name remains comfortably outside the US Top 1000, suggesting that it will be at least a few years before we hear it as often as Violet.
That makes both M names choices that seem antique, but are actually enjoying newfound heights of popularity. Which do you prefer?
Voting will remain open through Thursday, March 22nd. Check back on Saturday, March 24th to see which two names advance to the Final Round!

"This is a name where sentiment is really, really bad," Evercore ISI analyst Umer Raffat told clients last week, after visiting with investors. Mylan is the second-worst performer among global generic and specialty pharma peers over the past year, trailing only Perrigo Co. Mylan's forward price-to-earnings ratio has fallen to 6.4, the lowest in the S&P 500 Pharmaceuticals Index. Mylan has gained 5 percent so far in 2019, in-line with the S&P 500 Health-Care Index.


Anybody who owns a business knows more than well the fact that many people not only want shopping bags, they want a printed bag that has a specific logo on it. Many people collect promotional shopping bags for an assortment of different reasons. A person who carries printed shopping bags in their store or office will find that many people will shop there for environmental reasons. This is because not only are they good for the environment, but they are also fashionable.
Our branded shopping bags are one of the best selections that we have available.
By using printed shopping bags people are able to flaunt their own business in a more fashionable way than using regular advertising. This is great for people who frequently shop for small items for restaurants or office stores. Our branded bags all have a large space on the front and back for a logo, and come with a great handle to carry them by. They come in a variety of different colours and sizes for any occasion.
People who want a more durable printed paper bag can purchase the rope handle type of bag that features a handle not made of paper or plastic, but a durable rope. These are not only environmentally friendly; they are much more durable than the other types of shopping bags. They come in natural but we also have a selection of colours available. All have space on the front and back for printing.
For people who are searching for a flashier and stylish shopping bag we offer some great foil print bags. These bags are not only equipped with the very durable rope handle, they also come gloss laminated. They come in a variety of colours and are the best choice for many occasions due to the fact that they are waterproof on the outside. The foil cover guarantees they will reflect light and grab the attention of people nearby.
One of the best reasons to bulk buy shopping bags is that when customers leave a shop or store, they will literally be advertising for you. Anywhere they go with the bag they bring from your store will allow others to see who they shopped at. This is a great way to gain free advertising.

Is investing in CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) a good fit for my family?
CSA's are best for families who enjoy cooking at home and those who are adventurous eaters or want to grow in that direction. Stuck in a recipe rut? A CSA is a great way to get those creative juices flowing by trying new vegetables and recipes you wouldn't otherwise consider.
Ask your farmer what's typically in a share.
Some CSAs sell full-shares, while others offer a smaller half-share, too. Some let you choose what you'd like each week while others fill your box for you and you can simply pick it up. Farmers can give examples of past shares; explain whether they bring in items from other farms versus provide only items they grow themselves; and tell you about flowers, herbs, and other items that might be included in your ration. Those that bring in items from other farms may contain a variety of meats, vegetables, fruit, eggs, dairy and other local agricultural goods. Determine what is best for your family in terms of what they enjoy eating and what you want to get out of your share.
What is the length of the season and how many shares will I receive?
Depending on where you live and the growing resources of the farm, shares typically begin in May or June and can extend to October or even February. Most shares can be arranged weekly or bi-weekly, with pick-up locations at the farm or a public location like a farmer's market or school.
How is the money I pay for the CSA allocated?
By purchasing a CSA you become a "shareholder." Every farm has different priorities but many farms depend on the money paid upfront for a CSA to help with seed cost, equipment repair and to pay staff when profit is low but expenses are high. Your farmer can provide specific details as to where funds are needed during your season.
An important aspect of CSA is fostering relationships between community members and farmers. Many farms require work hours (volunteering) and sometimes this is optional. In some cases, work hour "buy outs" may be an option if you're unable to complete them. For adults and children, educational classes on farming and cooking may be offered.
Read to find a CSA near you? Try using our favorite resource at Local Harvest.
There are many variables when investing in CSA, negative and positive. Crop failure may happen, and at times the farmer may not be able to put everything they produce into your share. It's a risk you take, along with the farmer, but the benefits of being more involved with your community and knowing your food has been grown close to home outweigh the risks, guaranteed.
We explore one theme every two months. Learn, create change, move forward. This post is part of our Meat & Veggies theme.
Belong to a local Savvy Chapter means you can discuss, explore and share from YOUR community experiences. Who has tried what? Who loved which farm? Set up a field trip to visit a local farm (with our without kids.) Invite your local farmer to be a guest to your chapter to talk about what they offer, their business model and thoughts about various organic farming philosophies.
Do you belong to a Chapter? Check out the discussion thread on hosting a Gathering on this topic in our Savvy Cafe.

Right now Arnold Schwarzenegger is making the publicity rounds for this week's release of Sabotage, and that means "The Tonight Show" got to have some fun with the action star. We already know the Terminator himself isn't shy about pleasing his fans by repeating some of his most iconic lines, but Jimmy Fallon wanted to have a bit more fun by highlighting an appearance Schwarzenegger made on QVC to hype some interesting food dicing devices. For anyone who might be working on a new Arnold Schwarzenegger soundboard online, you're going to want all these versions of this one particular fan favorite line. Watch!
And if you haven't seen the most recent trailer for Sabotage, check it out right here.
Sabotage is directed by David Ayer (End of Watch) and written by Skip Woods (A Good Day to Die Hard, The A-Team). The film follows Arnold Schwarzenegger as the leader of an elite DEA task force that takes on the world's deadliest drug cartels. When the team successfully executes a high-stakes raid on a cartel safe house they think all is done. But one-by-one, the ten members mysteriously start to be eliminated. Joe Manganiello, Sam Worthington, Harold Perrineau, Terrence Howard, Max Martini, Josh Holloway, Olivia Williams and Mireille Enos also star in the film which Open Road Films releases March 28th. Excited?
What's the matter, CIA got you pushing too many pencils? Great movie and great memories! Nice play by Jimmy Fallon.
Hey man. We're just trying to sell a blender.
Damn he's so old now!
