Qatar says won't 'surrender' in Gulf row, rejects 'intervention' in foreign policy
Doha: Qatar said Thursday it will not "surrender" and rejected any interference in its foreign policy, defying its Gulf neighbours in an escalating dispute over its alleged support for extremists.
In an interview with AFP, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani said calls for a change in Qatari policy from Saudi Arabia and its allies, which cut diplomatic ties with Doha this week, were unacceptable.
"No one has the right to intervene in our foreign policy," Sheikh Mohammed said.
He also rejected "a military solution as an option" to resolving the crisis, and said Qatar could survive "forever" despite the measures taken against it.
"We are not ready to surrender, and will never be ready to surrender the independence of our foreign policy," he told reporters later, adding: "No one will break us."
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Bahrain led a string of countries that this week cut ties with Qatar over what they say is the emirate's financing of extremist groups and its ties to Iran, Saudi Arabia's regional arch-rival.
On Thursday the four countries issued a list of individuals and entities they said had "terrorist" links to Qatar, in their first joint statement since severing ties with Doha.
The group said the list shows Qatar "announces fighting terrorism on one hand and finances and supports and hosts different terrorist organisations on the other hand."
But the document contains at least two names already designated internationally as terrorist financiers, and against whom Qatar took action, according to a previous US Department of State report.
Qatar strongly denied the earlier allegations and expressed a willingness to engage in talks to resolve the crisis.
The gas-rich emirate's satellite news giant Al-Jazeera has also emerged as a point of contention, and on Thursday the broadcaster said it was battling a major cyber attack.
Al-Jazeera tweeted that it was "under cyber attack on all systems, websites & social media platforms", and a source said it was trying to repel the hack.
The UAE and Saudi Arabia have banned Al-Jazeera from the airwaves and closed the channel's offices.
The Arab countries closed air, sea and land links with Qatar, barred the emirate's planes from their airspace and ordered Qatari citizens out within 14 days.
The feud has raised fears of wider instability in an already volatile region that is a crucial global energy supplier and home to several Western military bases.
Kuwait -- which unlike most of its fellow Gulf Cooperation Council members has not cut off ties with Qatar -- has been leading efforts to mediate.
Its emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad Al-Sabah held talks on Wednesday with Qatari counterpart Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, following talks with senior UAE officials and Saudi King Salman.
US President Donald Trump, who had initially backed the measures against Qatar in a tweet, called Sheik Tamim on Wednesday with an offer "to help the parties resolve their differences".
Qatar hosts the Al-Udeid military base, the largest US airbase in the Middle East. Home to some 10,000 troops, it is central to the US-led fight against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria.
Analysts say the current crisis is in part an extension of a 2014 dispute, when Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain temporarily recalled their ambassadors from Doha over Qatari support for Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood.
A top Gulf official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP a major concern was the influence of Sheikh Tamim's father, Sheikh Hamad, who had allowed the Taliban to open an office in Doha and helped arm Syrian rebels before abdicating in 2013.
"The previous emir is a big supporter of this whole extremist agenda, so we do have an issue," the official said.
Doha has for years forged its own alliances in the region, often diverging from the politics of the six-state GCC and taking in leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Palestinian Hamas and members of the Afghan Taliban.
A senior Emirati official told AFP this week's decision was not aimed at a change of regime in Qatar but to pressure the country to reshape its policy.
"This is a foreign policy that has gone wild," state minister for foreign affairs Anwar Gargash told AFP. "We need to put everything in check."
Gargash said the four Arab states seek a "political commitment to change course" by Qatar, including ending its support for the Brotherhood and Hamas.
Bahrain on Thursday followed the UAE in announcing that expressing sympathy for Qatar over the sanctions was an offence punishable by jail.

Ballet company, philharmonic targeted for proposed Coney amphitheater
By Rich Calder
Marty Markowitz wants to add a little panache to his planned Coney Island amphitheater.
The borough president's $64 million pet project is already slated to host his summertime concert series, but now the Parks Department is looking for a top philharmonic, ballet group or other performance troupe to occupy the venue at Asser Levy Park during the rest of the warm-weather days and nights.
The Department today began soliciting proposals from parties interested in offering programming beyond the beep's concert series and maintaining the amphitheater.
The 8,000-seat project, which is still awaiting city Design Commission approval, has yet to break ground and isn't expected to be operating until at least 2012.
Markowitz said "the possibilities are endless" for the planned open-air amphitheater, adding he imagines it becoming "a wonderful home for a summer residency for a philharmonic or a ballet company."
While a majority of Coney Island boardwalk business owners support the amphitheater, many Brighton Beach residents who reside in adjacent high-rises vehemently oppose it. They claim it is too large, would reduce parkland, and the noise blasting from concerts would overwhelm both residents and the worshipers of two nearby synagogues.
Geoffrey Croft of the nonprofit New York City Park Advocates questioned why the city is seeking proposals when it has not yet even approved the plan. He and other opponents have been pushing for the plan to be decided through the city's extensive Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP).
The request for proposals released today offered some juicy tidbits about the project, such as:
* The stage would be 90 feet wide, 50 feet deep and 55 feet high.
* The back area will include a 4,075-square-foot VIP terrace, a 1,315-square-foot green room, a 990-square-foot storage area, a 835-square-foot multipurpose room, security offices, dressing rooms, bathrooms, and office space.
* The venue will include infrastructure for food concessions, including 10 locations for food carts, three for food service, and a commissary with room for a beverage truck and food storage containers.
* The Parks Department wants to continue to keep shows at the site free.
The project would replace a 66,000-square-foot band shell already used for Markowitz's summer concert series with a modern 87,200-square foot open-air amphitheater.
It would be topped by 60,000-square roof that Markowitz's staff has said is shaped like a "hyperbolic paraboloid," but in layman's terms looks more like a massive potato chip made of steel and fiberglass and flooded with hundreds of stage lights.
The amphitheater would include a stage house, a paved area with seating for 5,000 persons and lawns that would accommodate an extra 3,000 seats.
Designers initially considered a retractable roof when Markowitz first pitched his pet project in 2006 but opted to go with a permanent canopy to save money. Markowitz last year raised the possibility of adding it back, but the RFP does not mention the addition of a retractable roof.
The project also calls for building a new playground and bathrooms at Asser Levy and other upgrades.
Markowitz is using $54 million of his office's capital improvement funds for the project, while the mayor's office is kicking in $10 million.
The borough president said he envisions park becoming "a welcoming eastern gateway to a revitalized Coney Island" and a place that tourists and residents can relax and enjoy recreation and the "vibrant cultural programming that has been the park's hallmark since at least the turn of the 20th Century."

Pre-Beatles band The Quarry Men record at Abbey Road; session filmed for upcoming doc about the group
PRNewsfoto/PreFab Four Productions, LLCSome of the surviving members of The Quarry Men, the Liverpool, U.K., skiffle group that evolved into The Beatles, reunited this week to record at London's famed Abbey Road Studios. The session was filmed for an upcoming documentary called PRE FAB! that will focus on founding Quarry Men drummer Colin Hanton.
Hanton was a member of The Quarry Men from 1956 until 1959, and also has played with the current incarnation of the group since 1997. Colin took part in the Abbey Road session along with three other musicians who played with The Quarry Men during the late 1950s -- bassist Chas Newby, and guitarists Len Garry and Rod Davis -- and are current members as well.
In addition to London, PRE FAB! also is filming in Liverpool, New York City and Los Angeles. The movie is based on the biographical book of the same name, which was written by acclaimed author Colin Hall, who also serves as custodian of the late John Lennon's one-time home in the Woolton section of Liverpool.
Hanton was a co-founding member of The Quarry Men with Lennon, and was in the group when Paul McCartney and, later, George Harrison joined. In 1958, Hanton took part in the first recording to feature Lennon, McCartney and Harrison -- a cover of the Buddy Holly classic "That'll Be the Day."
"Viewers of the new film will be given the opportunity to experience the beginnings of one of the biggest bands in the world and to understand how Merseybeat developed," says PRE FAB! producer Mark Bentley. He adds that "when Colin left The Quarry Men, he left behind the nucleus of what would later become The Beatles. Without The Quarry Men there would be no Beatles."

Mention of the word 'casino' conjures images of risk and great risk taking in many peoples' minds. Indeed, there are people who would very much like to participate in the various games that casinos offer to the patrons, but who are put off by the risk inherent in so doing.
Typical online casinos, for instance, usually require the patrons to deposit a given amount of money (referred to in most circles as the 'playing deposits') - from which the casinos are then able to pay the winnings to the lucky players, finance their operations (staff costs, web hosting costs in the case of online casino, and so son), and also to make a profit for their creators, the 'house owners,' as it were.
The no deposit casino system is not game specific, and most of the no deposit casinos actually offer the whole range of games offered in the other typical casinos that demand deposits off their members, the games in question being anything from roulette to slots, blackjack and poker.
Most no deposit casinos, as indeed all types of casinos, typically don't allow admission to minors (people under the age of 18), generally for legal reasons.
To be sure, though, the no deposit casino bonus system tends to come with a few catches here and there, and it is important to read and understand the casinos terms and conditions carefully before getting in. For the most part, for instance, no deposit casinos will tend to put a limit to the amount of no deposit bonuses they allow - with some limiting it at as low amounts as $10. However low the amount that the no deposit casino bonus is, though, it is still 'something for nothing' and an opportunity to get something for free from the 'house' - and that, of itself, is an attractive option.
Someone might ask what the business logic of offering the no deposit casino options is, especially keeping in mind that the casinos are definitely not charities - but highly strategic businesses. The answer to the question of how the zero deposit casinos make their money lies in the understanding of the workings of 'free samples' marketing philosophy, where a company that is highly confident about its products offers some free samples to prospective buyers. So in a way of speaking, the no deposit casino bonus are the casino's version of 'free samples' which, should the player get impressed with them, is expected to spur them to register with the casino, and thereby offer the casino the opportunity to make some money, while also giving the player the chance to earn even more money from the casino - depending on their skill and luck.

As the march toward November 2nd, 2010 continues, it really turns my stomach to see more and more political rhetoric where candidates are now claiming to be MORE "constitutional" than their opponent. For example, during the primaries in Utah's U.S. Senate race, both candidates Mike Lee and Tim Bridgewater laid claim to the Constitution as their guide. Please explain how EITHER of these guys call themselves fans of the Constitution yet oppose birthright citizenship?
And where in the Constitution does it talk about Social Security? But constitutional "expert" Mike Lee offers the unconstitutional solution of simply raising the retirement age but isn't that a bit like re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic? You don't have to tweak already doomed institutions. For example, as an entrepreneur, I helped to found the leading consulting firm in the Reverse Mortgage space to help create market-based solutions to the problem of senior funding.
How can these Constitutional Experts support the unconstitutional War on Drugs (remember, Prohibition? You need a Constitutional Amendment to make prohibition the law of the land and last I checked, we never ratified an Amendment to prohibit drugs).
And interesting Constitutional aside for Utahns, the Twenty-first Amendment, which ended prohibition, was ratified when Utah became the state to cast the deciding 36th vote to ratify the Twenty-first Amendment on December 5, 1933. Utah's subsequent infamous and unusual liquor laws were a direct result of its decisive vote to end the government enforced prohibition of alcohol.
Recently, a headline at the satirical Onion website read: Area Man Passionate Defender Of What He Imagines Constitution To Be. I call these types "A La Carte Constitutionalists". You know the type, they pick and choose the parts of the Constitution they like and disregard the rest. Their piecemeal approach may be truly deceitful or merely done for expediency's sake (e.g., being a "constitutionalist" makes a great sound-byte) but either way it is wrong.
While I do think a move back toward our Constitution and toward truly limited-government of the Founding Fathers is an important goal, I don't like to call myself a "constitutionalist" because it really isn't a very clear term. I mean, Barack Obama is a Constitutional Scholar too but we couldn't be further apart with regards to policy. Now while I favor constitutional government there are things about the U.S. Constitution that I don't like, for example the 16th Amendment. Often when I suggest to self-described Constitutionalists that they must then favor the institution of the IRS they often counter by saying with a smug smile, "No, I favor the original Constitution".
"oh so you support the 3/5th Clause which effectively says that each slave is equivalent to 3/5th of a free man when apportioning how many Representatives each state received (also in the Electoral College)?"
"oh so you don't support the right of women to vote and feel that the 19th Amendment which prohibits the state from denying people the right to vote based upon gender?"
Incidentally, Utah was the second territory in the U.S. to grant women suffrage in 1870, under the impression that, if given the right to vote, that Utah women would vote to make polygamy illegal. However, in 1887 the women of Utah were disenfranchised by the United States Congress under the Edmunds-Tucker Act when Utah women exercised their right to votes in favor of polygamy. Women's suffrage in Utah was restored a few years later when Utah's constitution restored woman's right to vote since the original U.S Constitution didn't offer this right until the passage of the 19th Amendment).
In the sense that there are two main political parties in the United States, broadly speaking, there are two main types of "Constitutionalists"; those that subscribe to "Originalism" and those that believe in a "Living Constitution". The funny thing is that there has been a term being thrown around, "strict Constitutionalist", that I believe means being an "Originalist" with regards to interpreting the Constitution. The term "strict constitutionalist" is likely a mutation of the term "strict constructionist", a term with too many interpretations to digress into for the purposes of this essay.
Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer would fall into the Living Constitution camp while Justice Antonin Scalia would be considered an Originalist. Living Constitution folks hold that the Constitution's boundaries are plastic and should serve the needs of society as it evolves. This means that the Constitution's meaning can shift to include both of Isiah Berlin's concepts of negative and positive liberty. "Living Constitution" judges are often perjoratively called "Activist judges" by their opposition. Ultimately the Living Document interpretation of the Constitution whither when it is understood that "If the constitution can mean anything, then the constitution means nothing".
"...it isn't the mindset. It's what did the words mean to the people who ratified the Bill of Rights or who ratified the Constitution,"
This is tantamount to saying that he and other "Originalist" have some sort of postcognitive psychic ability to channel the Founding Fathers and somehow know what they meant (maybe they all wear bracelets that read "WWFFD").
Understanding the meaning of words across time is a difficult enough task for trained etymologists and historians but I think it is fair to say that it is really impossible to know how the Founders would think about technology like stem-cell research, nuclear missiles, or the internet until someone invents a time-machine. I mean how does one really determine if someone knows better than other what the words of the Founders mean in situations that the Founders could have never imagined?
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
Terms have meaning (which ultimately ends up how they are used in language). The problem is that the language of politics is sometimes sloppy and applied with very little intention. This allows words like "Liberal" to be changed to eventually mean their exact opposite. Unfortunately, the term liberal is now largely synonymous with 'progressive' and when Hayek calls himself a classical liberal, not a conservative, too few people understand the true meaning he wanted to convey. Likewise, "conservative" now is generally used to convey neo-conservative policies, not paleo-conservative ones. So now, through misuse of terms the people are offered a Morton's Fork of big government Social Democrats and big government Conservative Republicans.

Organic Skin Care must include moisturizers. Although it is handy to purchase these in a ready to use form, you may want to try some of the following homemade moisturizers for a luxurious change on occasion.
You will find that they leave your skin feeling like a million bucks. If cost is a concern, check prices online before choosing a certain recipe. Keep in mind that the more essential oil that the recipe calls for, the more expensive it is to make. In places that the essential oil is more for light fragrance than for necessity to the recipe, it is marked as 'optional.' Any essential oils marked this way can be omitted or changed to a scent that you prefer. For those not marked optional, you need them for the recipe to work like it should.
By packaging the moisturizers in small Mason jars, you leave yourself open to decorate and give as gifts in a pinch. Place a bit of colorful fabric over the flat lid to the jar, screw the ring on, wrap a color coordinated ribbon around the ring and add a personal tag and you have a ready to give, organic skin care gift from the heart. Just be sure that you are willing to share the recipe or they may drive you crazy wanting more!
Jojoba Oil is great for any skin type and absorbs easily. Apply a small amount to your freshly cleaned face before you dry it. The water on your face is very important to the use of this oil as a moisturizer. For added enjoyment, mix a drop of your favorite organic essential oil to the jojoba just before application. For anti-aging help, use one teaspoon of jojoba and a dab of active royal jelly (found in refrigerated in health food stores); keep your royal jelly refrigerated or it becomes inactive and no good to you.
Mix all ingredients on high until smooth and creamy. Store refrigerated in an airtight container. It is necessary to make small amounts of this at a time and keep refrigerated because of the active royal jelly. This is an awesome ingredient for its healing properties and well worth the effort.
With only 2 necessary ingredients, this one is a breeze. Mix 1/4 cup pure aloe vera gel (directly from plant) and 2 tablespoons organic vegetable glycerin. This amount is for use over the entire body. Use immediately because aloe vera gel begins to lose potency immediately. For added effects, you can add 3 or 4 drops of your favorite essential oil or you can add 1/2 teaspoon of active royal jelly for anti aging effects. Active royal jelly must be kept refrigerated to remain active and can be found in refrigerated sections of health food stores.
This moisturizer has the healing qualities of aloe vera, the anti-oxidant qualities of Vitamin E, and a variety of oils specifically chosen to infuse dry, tired skin with moisture and a renewed radiance.
Combine olive oil, coconut oil, and beeswax and melt in a large, microwave safe bowl then pour in blender and let cool until it is about as thick as a milkshake.
While the above is cooling, combine your water, aloe, essential oil, vitamin E, and grape seed extract in a large liquid measuring cup, pour this into blender when the other mixture has cooled enough. Blend until smooth and creamy.
If you are lucky enough to have a heavy duty kitchen mixer (the kind that is on its own stand with its own bowls), you may find that it works better for you because the mixture does become very heavy. Store refrigerated in small Mason jars.
More patients are using compounded medications to help them manage their pain. Compounded medications are medications that are customized by a specifically trained pharmacist in order to better meet the demands and needs of the patient. Compounding drugs can help patients better control their medications and what is in them. These medications may be more effective for specific patients and they are very often easier for the patient to take on a daily basis. For patients with specific medical needs or those who are required to take pain management medication for a long period of time, compound pharmacies can be a lifesaver.
Compounding Pharmacy were the original type of pharmacy, where a trained pharmacist would customize medications according to the specific patient. Today's pharmacies are really more like dispensaries than they are pharmacies. Most pharmacies simply hand out medications that have already been produced. This means that their medication comes in specific forms, dosage amounts and combinations, regardless of whether or not these characteristics are the best option for the patient who will be taking the medication. Compound pharmacies and Sterile Compounding create completely customized medications, which can be especially helpful for patients with special needs.
Dealing with severe or long term pain can be difficult for anyone. Chronic pain from problems such as arthritis, headaches, migraines, fibromyalgia, muscle pains and nerve damage can often be made worse because of the side effects associated with pain management medications. Not all pain medications are specifically designed for patients with special considerations or for patients who have to take a lot of pain medications. Pain relief medications are typically found in only a few dosage amounts, and if this dosage happens to be too high for a specific patient they may experience negative side effects as a result of over-dosage. This can include stomach pain, difficulties with digestion and mental side effects. Also, how conventional pain medications are taken by the patient may not be ideal for their specific problems. For example, some people with chronic pain also suffer from stomach lining sensitivity. Most pain medications are available in pill form and taking pain medications in pill form day and after can really harm the patient's stomach lining. This can add to their pain and suffering.
Customized medications created by Compounding pharmacists can help eliminate some of these troubles. They will be able to create customized dosage amounts. This can help the patient find a dosage that helps to manage their pain without producing over-dosage side effects. Compound pharmacists can also create different forms of pain medications for patients who have difficulty swallowing pills. Examples of non-pill forms of pain medications can include injectable medications, liquid medications and topical medications, just to name a few. The topical forms of pain management medications can really make a considerable difference in the patient's life. Advancements in topical medications, such as pluronic gel have made topical Sterile Medication much more effective and they tend to have fewer negative side effects.
Pharmaceutical compounding is the mixing of drugs by pharmacists to fit a patient's unique needs. Custom medications can eliminate elements of a compound that are dangerous or unnecessary to a patient and add elements that are specifically beneficial to a particular patient's condition.
Your face is known to tell a lot about your personality, likes, dislikes and your way towards life. And in your face, your eyes are of great importance as they have the power to captivate an individual in their own way. This is the reason why we often listen that someone has got trapped by seeing in another person's eyes. Even eyes form the major of attraction between a man and woman. Sometimes, eyes say a lot even if someone doesn't wish to say a word. If someone is happy, eyes will automatically glow and on the other hand, if someone is feeling gloomy, his/her eyes will get watery.
Considering the importance of eyes in one's life, it is very much necessary to choose the best thing for them. A large number of people wear contact lenses nowadays due to correct their eye sight. Some wear by obligation while some wear due to necessity. No matter what the purpose is but today there are colored contact lenses available in the markets that are truly awesome.
Among various types of contact lenses, blue colored contact lenses and green colored contact lenses are extremely popular as both these colors are natural. Sea is blue; sky is blue; similarly, trees are green. As these colors are found to be eye-soothing, there is a great demand for these contact lenses.
Another reason behind the fact that more people are now choosing for blue colored contacts lenses is the simple fact that blue eyes are constantly looked at as "the Holy Grail" of eye colors. Think about it -- anytime someone is spoken off in a positive manner, it's always along the lines of "a blue-eyed boy". It emerges from the age-old belief that blue eyes and blonde hair is the picture of wholesome youth and innocence, and is why blue colored contact lenses are so popular.
As green is the color of nature, people find it soothing to wear which also makes a favorable impact on the mind and body. Moreover, it also creates some sort of attraction among people. This is the reason why green colored contact lenses are the preferred choice for many.
While buying such lenses, it is important to buy high quality lenses so as to ensure any kind of harm to your delicate eyes. In addition, you can seek to get superior quality at the most competitive rates. It is advisable to conduct a thorough research before picking any contact lenses.

Liveblogging the Governor's Race 4
Sue Jeffers arrived at Stub & Herbs about 30 minutes ago, and now as results are coming in she's sitting with a Coke and relaxing, satisfied at the job she's done. She thinks the same issues everyone else has been citing here tonight--taxes and fees and stadiums--will earn her plenty of votes. She faults Tim Pawlenty for refusing to debate her.
"He should be able to stand up and defend that record," she says. "It's bad when your sitting governor won't debate a political neophyte." Turning to Laura, a young supporter who just called Pawlenty a "weenie," she asks, "Is that the right word."
That neophyte thing seems to be the draw for the crowd--now 30 or so--gathered here. Enge, who wears a leather biker vest over a black t-shirt with Michael Savage's mantra "Liberalism is a mental disorder," says, "Sue's never been a politician. That's what I like about her. Most of us just bitch. She's doing something." (Enge has driven his truck, a flag-covered pickup, in several of Jeffers' parades.)
Even Jeffers admits she didn't really plan on this path. "Two years ago I had a pretty nice life," says Sue Jeffers. "I ran a business, I played golf and went to basketball games. You've got to be really frustrated to throw that away" and go up against established politicians and "the political machine."
Final question: what percentage of the vote would make her satisfied?
"51 percent." She pauses, rethinking: "Yeah, 51 percent."

Doug McIntyre
Yahoo Sports 25 November 2019
For the U.S. men's national team, recent wins against Canada and Cuba did more than qualify the Americans for June's CONCACAF Nations League semifinals. The two matches also provided some valuable insight into where a number of players fit within the positional pecking order under coach Gregg Berhalter.
That matters, because the twin victories also guaranteed that Berhalter will remain at the helm of the USMNT through at least next summer. Berhalter's first year had some low lows, with shocking losses against the Canadians and fellow border rival Mexico sticking out. The fanbase remains cynical, quite understandably after missing last year's World Cup.
But if Berhalter is to lead the USMNT to a more convincing 2020, he'll likely lean on many of the names listed in the section immediately below. As for those Americans whose national team sock is trending the other direction at the moment, they should be heartened by the knowledge that fortunes can change quickly at the sport's highest level.
With the program's 2019 slate finished, here's a snapshot of where some of the national team's most interesting players stand right now.

USMNT players trending up
M Jackson Yueill, San Jose Earthquakes (MLS)
The crafty central midfielder started both U.S. games in November, turning in two fine performances despite having not logged a minute of action since the Quakes' season ended in early October.
Takeaway: No player helped himself more this month than the 22-year-old Yueill, who will head into 2022 as a presumed starter even when veteran Michael Bradley returns from the ankle injury he suffered during MLS Cup. "I really liked his intensity," Berhalter said after naming Yueill his man of the match against Cuba. "He didn't let up for 90 minutes, and to turn around from a very physical Canada match to now play again in these conditions, I thought he did a great job."
D Sergino Dest, Ajax (Netherlands)
The USMNT officially cap-tied the Dutch-born fullback against Canada, and Dest looked like a man with a weight lifted off his shoulders in the 4-1 win.
Takeaway: With Dest's decision to represent the U.S. now made, the 19-year-old figures to quickly establish himself as a key player on both sides of the ball. "It feels great if you can do both," Dest said after the Canada match. "I also want to make an impact on the team defensive-wise and attacking-wise."

M Sebastian Lletget, LA Galaxy (MLS)
With Christian Pulisic nursing a hip injury, Lletget stepped into a playmaking role against Canada and provided some of the attacking swagger that was missing in October's 2-0 loss north of the border.
Takeaway: "Sebastian is a guy that gives you a little bit more of the game-changing quality that that Christian possesses," Berhalter said after his side exacted revenge on Les Rouges in Orlando. Lletget probably returns to the bench when Pulisic's healthy, but he definitely didn't hurt his case for more minutes in 2020.
M/F Jordan Morris, Seattle Sounders (MLS)
Morris scored five goals in the final five U.S. matches of 2019, including two in last week's 4-0 rout of Cuba.
Takeaway: The all-action 25-year-old is coming off a career season for club and country; Morris was the USMNT's best player during the second half of 2019. Don't be surprised if European suitors come calling. "I'd never rule anything out," Morris told Yahoo Sports after helping his hometown Sounders to a second MLS Cup in four years earlier this month. "If an offer or something came along that I really enjoyed and thought was right for me, I would have no quarrels with making a jump."
D John Brooks, Wolfsburg (Germany)
Brooks made just his second appearance under Berhalter in Orlando, and his experience and pedigree made a huge difference defensively. "He's got that quality about him that's very calming," center back partner Aaron Long said. "He's very smooth on the ball, definitely a guy that calms the game down for us."
Takeaway: While Brooks' ability has rarely been in doubt, questions about his commitment and ability to stay heathy remain. Only time will tell if the 26-year-old answers them in 2020.
F Gyasi Zardes, Columbus Crew (MLS)
U.S. fans' favorite whipping boy at least temporarily silenced his haters with two well-taken strikes in Orlando.
Takeaway: Goals aside, Zardes still had an excellent match, making smart decisions on and away from the ball. He might not be Berhalter's first choice up top when everyone is available, but in a paper-thin forward pool he proved that he should remain in the conversation for minutes.
F Josh Sargent, Werder Bremen (Germany)
Sargent didn't let the disappointment of not playing against Canada linger versus Cuba, against whom the 19-year-old scored twice.
Takeaway: It was a fitting way to end the year for Sargent, who wasn't even in the coach's plans as recently as June's Gold Cup. "Overall I think you can tell he was hungry to score goals and that's what I liked," Berhalter said. "He had a very good mentality in this match."
D Aaron Long, New York Red Bulls (MLS)
The 27 year-old scored the backbreaking third goal against Canada and went the distance in the 2019 finale, too.
Takeaway: It was a strong way to finish the year for Long, who suffered late summer swoon with both his club and national team after the Red Bulls turned down an offer from English Premier League strugglers West Ham.
USMNT players trending down

G Zack Steffen, Fortuna Dusseldorf (Germany)
With tendonitis in is his left knee, Steffen was allowed to skip both games and rest. But he struggled in his return, gifting Bayern Munich its second goal in Saturday's 4-0 loss.
Takeaway: Steffen remains the U.S. No. 1. But his position is perhaps less secure than it was a few weeks go. The 24-year-old continues to struggle playing out of the back, and veteran Brad Guzan acquitted himself well in Steffen's absence.
D Matt Miazga, Reading (England)
Four months after Miazga started both the Gold Cup semifinal and final, the 24-year-old central defender was left off the U.S. roster entirely this month.
Takeaway: The snub is especially head-scratching considering that the New Jersey native has been ever-present for Reading in the English second tier when healthy. He even scored a game-winning goal against Preston North End shortly before Berhalter's latest squad was announced.
F Jozy Altidore, Toronto FC (MLS)
Although he was able to recover from a quad injury enough to come off the bench (and score) in the Nov. 10 MLS Cup, Altidore did not join up with the USMNT afterward.
Takeaway: Given the circumstances, no huge surprise there. Still, the fact is that Altidore, who just turned 30, wasn't around much during Berhalter's first year in charge. When he was during last summer's Gold Cup, the coach used him sparingly. It's fair to wonder how much he fits into the plan going forward.
M Duane Holmes, Derby County (England)
After October's embarrassment, it stood to reason that Berhalter would call in a fresh face or two. Holmes had been called in earlier in the year, and the hard-running and versatile 25-year-old seemed like an obvious candidate after starting eight of the Rams' 10 matches before the break.
Takeaway: Holmes' next chance to play for the U.S. comes in March. Perhaps a few goals between now and then might compel Berhalter to reconsider.
Martin: Now we know why it's Super Bowl or bust for Niners
Robinson: Jones put Garrett on notice after Cowboys' loss
Wetzel: Patricia era is another bad chapter for the Lions
Rudolph on Garrett's slur accusation: 'I couldn't believe it'

CHARLOTTE -- Though the Carolina Panthers were low-key in the opening days of free agency, it apparently wasn't for a lack of trying.
Seeming intent on improving their pass rush, the Panthers were extremely aggressive in pursuing two of the top sack men in this year's market. According to the agents for both players, the Panthers were heavily involved in the courting of Tennessee's Travis LaBoy and Oakland's Chris Clemons, before they signed with Arizona and Philadelphia, respectively.
LaBoy signed a five-year, $22 million deal with the Cardinals, with $7.5 million guaranteed. And while that's well past the tax brackets of the other free agents the Panthers have signed, it wasn't the money that kept him from coming here.
"They proposed a very respectable salary," said C.J. LaBoy. "It was more about the role than the money with them."
His agent, Don Henderson, said the Panthers showed as much interest as can be legally allowed when the free agency period opened Feb. 29.
"They called shortly after midnight," Henderson said. "They were very professional about it, their interest was obvious."
Clemons, also 26, eventually signed a five-year, $18.5 million deal with the Eagles.
While not outrageous, either number would have been the biggest for the Panthers this offseason. Their splash signing was versatile Cincinnati linebacker Landon Johnson, who inked a three-year, $10 million deal, with a $3 million signing bonus.
The only defensive lineman they've signed so far was Oakland's Tyler Brayton, who has 6.0 sacks in five NFL seasons.
The Panthers' problem now is that there's not much left on the market. Of the remaining free agent defensive ends, the sack leader from 2007 was New Orleans backup Renaldo Wynn, who had 3.5. Mike Rucker, who the Panthers have shown not much interest in retaining, had 3.0.
Panthers general manager Marty Hurney said Monday night that he didn't want to comment on the specifics of either case.
"It's obvious there are certain things we're trying to get done," Hurney said. "But we've talked to a bunch of people."
The Panthers clearly want to upgrade their defensive line. They've had at least three defensive tackles in for visits and physicals -- Rod Coleman, Darwin Walker and Ian Scott -- though no deals have been struck with them, either.
• EXTRA POINTS: Monday brought a piece of news even more amazing than Denver's love affair with Panthers castoffs Marquand Manuel and Keary Colbert.
According to the Newark Star-Ledger, quarterback David Carr is scheduled to visit the New York Giants today and Wednesday. His pedigree's certainly better than either Anthony Wright or Jared Lorenzen, though last year created doubt in even his biggest believers. The good news for Carr is that the Giants' quarterback coach is Chris Palmer, who had Carr in Houston when his reputation wasn't what it is now.

Showground Newark, Newark
Stonedeaf Festival 2019 - Showground Newark, Newark (UK) - 24 August 2019
Having attended last year's inaugural festival at Newark Showground, and having enjoyed it as much as we all did, the date for this year's second go had been in my diary since it was first announced. Last year's bands were very good, but they had gone up a notch with the line-up this year, with more big(ish) names than last time attending to tread the boards. And the festival gods smiled on Newark for the second time, covering the site with bright, warm sunshine, and what appeared to be a larger crowd than before, right from the start. Krusher was here again, to tell us all we needed to know (which we probably all knew already, but he's a good lad), and off we went.
Samarkind kicked off the festival at 11:30 in fine form. Hailing from Ireland (I believe that they are the victors of one of those competitions where you win a slot on a festival bill), this was the first time I had heard them and I quickly came to the conclusion that vocalist David Paul Byrne was firmly in the Glenn Hughes mould. And as they progressed I noticed one of the songs, probably 'Fire And Blood', had a little of Child In Time' In it, and then in another later on, the guitar sound was very reminiscent of Mr Blackmore in 'Gates Of Babylon.' A good start then.
Massive were also a first timer for me. Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, my first thought would be that they would probably sound like a poor man's AC/DC, or Airbourne for short. But they didn't really. Vocalist Brad Marr also played guitar, and was another who possessed a strong voice, although he did exhibit signs of being out of breath between songs. There was a lot of energy in their performance, not an easy thing on a hot, humid day, but hey, it's not usually that cold in Melbourne. They invited half the crowd and an alien on stage with them for one number (after which he claimed that one of the young ladies on there had "the largest breasts he had ever seen", (which I didn't think was true)), and then announced that after attending the signing tent they would be in the crowd "like the rest of you" watching all the excellent bands. And they were. During the final song, 'Long Time Coming,' he sang a long, loud and high note without passing out, and probably shattered glasses somewhere.
Generation Riot, Blood Money, Blues, One By One, Roses, If You Want Blood (You've Got It), Dancefloor, Ghost, Long Time Coming.
I believe I have attended festivals where the Amorettes have played previously, but I think I would be right in saying that I missed them, for whatever reason, but I would correct that oversight today. The all-female band kept the crowd on their toes, and the girls have been doing it long enough now to know just what the crowd wants, and they gave it to them. They did have a little problem with feedback, but nobody seemed to mind. However, I do have one criticism with the fact that there was very little interaction, if any, with the crowd. One song, the title of which I do not know, had elements of Madonna's 'Holiday' in it, while another reminded me of Quo's 'Down Down'. And somewhere in there was a small snippet of 'Whole Lotta Love.'
Born To Break, Let The Neighbours Call the Cops, Come 'n' Get It, You've Still Got Rock And Roll, Whatever Gets You Through, Coming Up The Middle, Bull By The Horns, Everything I Learned (I Learned From Rock And Roll)
Introduced as legends, Diamond Head are one of those Thrash bands that a few years ago I couldn't listen to. They have inspired many bands who gained greater fame (I believe Metallica was one), but never got to that height themselves. And as I am now finding out, a lot of those bands I wouldn't look at before I now find OK. Before they came on, Krusher said that there would be a surprise later, and I wondered if someone from one of those bands would make an appearance with them. Coming on with a theatric and dramatic intro, they were noticeably heavier than any of the previous bands (which may not come as a surprise to anyone), but had a slight problem in that the vocals were just a little too low in the mix. There were new songs alongside old, which all seemed to work together. We didn't get anyone from inspired bands on stage with them, but towards the end of their set we had a visit by a Dakota aircraft that flew over three times. Was this DH doing an Iron Maiden? Dunno, but as impressive as that was for a new festival, I was even more impressed that it was from the Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight. Quite a thing to organise for such a young festival.
Borrowed Time, Bones, Lightning To The Nations, Death By Design, In The Heat Of The Night, It's Electric, Belly Of The Beast, The Messenger, Helpless, Am I Evil?
I was surprised to see Geoff Tate so low down on the bill, and I wasn't sure what to expect of him, as I had read that he was nowhere near as good as when he was with Queensrÿche, and I had not seen him since he left that band. Whether they meant the music, or just his voice, I don't know, but I personally thought he was very good OK, it was sometimes slightly, but only slightly, strained when he went for the high notes, but playing mostly Queensrÿche numbers, including 'Empire', 'Operation Mindcrime', 'Jet City Woman' and, naturally, 'Silent Lucidity' (which was great to hear again), he sounded just like Geoff Tate singing in Queensrÿche. He looked happy on stage, and I thoroughly enjoyed the set. There were obviously a lot of people who felt the same way, as he got a very good reaction after he finished off with 'Eyes Of A Stranger'.
Empire, Walk In The Shadows, Operation: Mindcrime, Breaking The Silence, The Mission, Screaming In Digital, Take Hold Of The Flame, Silent Lucidity, Jet City Woman, Eyes Of A Stranger
Wayward Sons I had seen before, a few years ago at Download. Ex-Little Angels' Toby Jepson sang over what seemed to me like a much heavier sound. Mind you, it was some time ago. Although the sun had now become draining, Toby and the gang kept people on their feet for the duration of their set, which was just under an hour And a popular artist as Toby is, he couldn't go wrong here really, but unfortunately the day's first gremlins made an appearance as, right at the end of 'Killing Time', the power cut out and we had a rather sharper finish to the song than usual.
Drummer Phil Martini quickly got the crowd cheering and clapping, and many people didn't even notice the drop out. Power was rapidly re-established however, and they carried on, a little bemused but undaunted, cleverly grafting The Stranglers' 'No More Heroes' onto the end of 'Small Talk' later in the set.
Alive, Don't Wanna Go, Killing Time, Ghost, Any Other Way, Crush, Small Talk / No More Heroes, Little White Lies, The Jokes On You, Something Wrong, Until The End
The very sweetly named Phil Campbell And The Bastard Sons were up next, and again most people were on their feet throughout. Another lively set saw him play songs on numerous different guitars, including an eye-catching gold Flying V type. This was my first experience of Phil on his own, and he was always going to do OK simply by the number of Motörhead T-shirts on display today, but the two biggest highlights were a cover of Hawkwind's 'Silver Machine and the classic Motörhead song 'Ace Of Spades', which included a nice touch with Phil dedicating it to everybody who had been in Motörhead.
Big Mouth, Step Into the Fire, Rock Out, Freak Show, Born To Raise Hell, Dark Days, Get On Your Knees, R.A.M.O.N.E.S., Ringleader, Straight Up, Silver Machine, Ace Of Spades, High Rule.
Between Phil Campbell and Inglorious, Krusher came on stage and, with the help of the rock DJ, had nearly all the crowd singing along to 'Bohemian Rhapsody' as a tribute to Freddie Mercury, with many people acting out the actions of Mike Myers and Dana Carvey in 'Wayne's World' at the appropriate time, making it a memorable part of the day.
Despite Nathan James having put a bit of weight on in the last couple of years, probably due to the troubles he has had with now departed band members, it hasn't affected his voice, apart from possibly making it better. I have seen him with TSO, his original Inglorious, and now this new crew, and he just seems to get better. He exclaimed how pleased they were to be there, and on the same stage as such iconic Rock names, mentioning that they would be in the signing tent after their set, but warning people to be quick, and that he wouldn't be signing anybody's "bits", pointing to a particular young lady at the front, as he wanted to get back to watch Glenn Hughes. And the new musicians he has are excellent. I don't know where he found them, but they are a bit hot, particularly new guitarist Danny Dela Cruz, who James himself complimented a couple of times and announced "It is the first gig he has played with us as a 20 year old, and he hates it", and also commented that the crowd had pants older than him. I thought that there was quite a bit of Slash in his stance, his playing style and his look (And indeed, after coming away from photographing Glenn Hughes, the very same chap was stood in front of me coming away from the signing tent, and I mentioned this to him, at which he laughed and agreed totally). 'Holy Water' though, had the structure, chord wise, of a slower version of 'Mistreated'. They actually did a cover of 'Uninvited' that I wouldn't have believed was an Alanis Morissette song if he hadn't announced it. All in all, a really good performance, and the light show that they utilised was the most spectacular of the night
Where Are You Now? Taking The Blame, High Flying Gypsy, Read All About It, I Don't Know You, Warning, Freak Show, Breakaway, Uninvited, Ride To Nowhere, I Don't Need Your Loving, Holy Water, Until I Die
And then it was time for Glenn Hughes. Well it would have been, as he was due on stage at 9:30, but due to technical problems, he didn't come on until around 10:00. I never saw him perform with Deep Purple, and the last time I did see him was on the Legends Of Rock Tour back in 2002. The passage of time can have a detrimental effect on a person's vocal ability, but it didn't appear to affect Hughes' voice in the slightest as he is still capable of hitting those high screams. And the tour that this was part of was all about playing classic Deep Purple songs, and this he did, starting off with 'Stormbringer' and 'Might Just Take Your Life.' Those technical issues still plagued them though, as the instruments kept cutting out, encouraging Hughes to have a slight dig and state that even without instruments he would remain on stage and carry on, not like some artists he could mention. He talked quite a lot, and told the audience on numerous occasions that he was honoured to play for us in Nottingham (?), and loved us all very much (which was a bit of a surprise as I had only met him the once). He occasionally spoke without making much sense at all (make of that what you will), but when he sang and played his classic Precision Bass lines, he made total sense and was totally Glenn Hughes. He dedicated 'Gettin' Tighter' to the memory of guitarist Tommy Bolin, and I had initially thought he would only do the songs from the albums that he was originally involved in, namely 'Burn', 'Stormbringer' and 'Come Taste The Band', but late on in the set he actually did 'Smoke On The Water' (which I was greatly surprised by), with 'Georgia On My Mind' tagged on to the end of it. And another surprise, he did 'Highway Star' from 'Deep Purple In Rock' as the final song of the encore.
Stormbringer, Might Just Take Your Life, Sail Away, Drum Solo, You Keep On Moving, Gettin' Tighter, Mistreated, Smoke On The Water / Georgia On My Mind, Encore: Burn, Highway Star.
So that was it for the second Stonedeaf Festival. A really good line-up, some glorious weather, a relaxed atmosphere with none of the stress of chasing from stage to stage to catch bands, and no schedule collisions, so you can see everybody. The vendors had increased so we didn't all run out of food (although I did hear that the fish and chip guy had left early as he had sold out), and the majesty of a BBMF flypast to top it off. What was there to complain about? I am sure after the second success that they will run with it again, and who knows who they will get next time?

Looking For Best Reading Glasses Near Delta Junction AK?
There are many styles of reader glasses you can buy in Delta Junction including best reading glasses. If you are new to needing eyewear for reading or working close-up, then you will probably want a pair of women's or men's reading glasses. After you have tried out readers, you may be in the market for a product a bit more specific to your application in Alaska.
As we age, our eyes have more trouble focusing properly on various distances, a problem called presbyopia. Bifocals help people who have trouble with both far- and near-sightedness with lenses that have two different optical strengths – one for distance, one for close up work.
Protecting your eye sight while outdoors is very important and is especially important if you are reading a book or newspaper in the bright sunlight. There are reader sunglasses that you may buy that will shield your eyes from the glare off of pages. These are also offered in many fashionable looks so that you are able to indulge in the latest novel at the beach without compromising your fashion sense.
Bifocal reader sunglasses are also available in many designs and colors. They have the double benefit of allowing you to read in the sun and delight in the scenery without changing to normal sunglasses.
Magnetic readers, also known as Clics, split up at the bridge and magnetically reattach at the bridge. They have a built-in glasses keeper that enables them to drape around your neck for convenience. Clics are the solution to constantly having your reading glasses nearby even if you might not have have a pocket to put them inside.
When you don't have much space, reading glasses that fold fit the bill. These little folding reader glasses fit in a small evening bag or pocket and are handy options that generally have a small carrying case that fits in almost just about anywhere.
Also named trifocals, progressive reading glasses provide multiple eyeglass strengths all in just a single pair. They have no lines and allow the user to see properly no matter if they are doing close up work, intermediate range work or need to see clearly far away.
Readers can be bought at most any price range from $1 to many hundreds of dollars for designer reading glasses. In case you are just starting to need reading glasses, your eye specialist may tell you to get cheap readers until your vision deteriorates to the point where you may need customized reading glasses.
The more economical glasses enable you to have multiple pairs so that you aren't too worried about damaging or losing them.
The shortcomings of cheap readers are that the frames are normally not cool and trendy, both lenses have the identical correction and the optical center of the lenses isn't precisely tailored to your eyes. If you get headaches, nausea or notice considerable eye strain, it is recommended that you check with your eye doctor to determine if you might need to transition to a custom made prescription pair of readers.
Reading glasses specifically engineered for computer monitors are called computer glasses. Computer screens release blue light which may be damaging to your eyes just like UV rays can. If you do work in front of computer screens throughout the day, or you are worried about the effects of blue light on your children's eyes, you should get these types of "blue blockers". Both prescription or non-prescription computer readers include basic anti-reflective lenses to minimize eye strain and give 100% UV protection.
An additional option is to buy glasses with photochromic glass which also shield from blue light and UV light. This form of lense darkens completely on its own and can be utilized like reader sunglasses. These kinds of glasses are generally custom-made.
The best men's reading glasses and the best women's reading glasses in Delta Junction, AK are the type that provide you the crystal clear eyesight you seek with none of the downsides. Headaches, eye fatigue and blurriness are signs that you don't have the right glasses to do the job right. Take your time selecting your Best Reading Glasses and you will find the best solution to better reading vision.

Everyday Sri Lanka
2017 In Sri Lanka: A Year In Review
Aisha Nazim
Hard as it may be to believe, another year is drawing to an end. Compared to the previous years, Sri Lanka had a relatively mellow one this time (not counting the cyclone which whipped through town out of the blue, or an explosive garbage dump…okay, maybe it wasn't all that calm). However, the year has not only been about natural (and manmade) disasters. From having represented the country in Miss Universe to hosting several international events, Sri Lanka is moving forward slowly but surely.
Economics: Colourful Budgets, and China's New Port
Sri Lanka's national budget for the coming year is a far cry from what we're usually accustomed to; its highlights weren't on concessions and allocations to numerous ministries but on loan schemes and taxes. Shiran Fernando, Chief Economist at the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, stated that the budget focused on bringing stability to the country in the long run. Calling it a Blue-Green Budget, the government hopes it will help build a liberal economy. The government also introduced several new taxes—on SMS advertisements, bank transactions, and cell towers for instance—to help pay off the country's outstanding debt which is currently at $64bn.
In addition to this, the Hambantota Port was formally signed over to China on a 99-year lease earlier this month. Addressing the Parliament, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe claimed that "we have started to pay back the loans,' with this agreement.
Meanwhile, the Bond scam (initially dating back to 2015) made headlines on an almost daily basis. The scam involved the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) selling securities at a low price and buying them back at a much higher rate, while an intermediary made a profit. Subsequently, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Ravi Karunanayake resigned from his portfolio when Karunanayake and his family's name was linked to Arjun Aloysius of Perpetual Treasuries, one of the key suspects involved in the scam.
Education: Fewer Protests After 'Abolishing' SAITM

The last four years or more have been peppered with water cannons, tear gas, and road-blocks courtesy of agitating student unionists who demanded 'free education' and the abolishing of SAITM. SAITM—namely the South Asian Institute of Technology and Medicine—has been receiving flak from those in the state education sector alleging the institute was substandard.
In November, the government announced that SAITM would be placed under the Sri Lanka Institute of Information and Technology (SLIIT) as a non-profit institution. This announcement was preceded by one in October when the Government Information Centre issued a statement claiming that a new degree-awarding institution would be established instead, in accordance with the State's minimum standards for medical education.
Thanks to this move, there have been fewer roadblocks in Colombo and people are able to commute in relative peace.
Environment: From Exploding Dumps, To Polythene Bags And Cyclones
Despite residents' continuous battle against their neighbourhood being used as Colombo's dump yard, the government (both this and the last) turned a deaf ear to it. Following a human rights case against the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC), the Supreme Court ruled in favour of the Meethotamulla area being used as a temporary garbage dump for a two-year period, and that the dump be limited to two acres. Needless to say, this was conveniently forgotten or ignored, and the dump continued to grow across 20 acres and as high as 300ft. The dump eventually split in half and resulted in a landslide of sorts: hundreds of people were affected and displaced in April during the Sinhala-Tamil New Year.
This served as a wake-up call, and the government finally decided to pass a polythene ban effective from 01 September. It must be noted that the ban doesn't ban all polythene—just those under 20 microns. Following the disaster, garbage collectors were instructed to instruct residents to separate their garbage into food-waste and non-food waste when disposing of them. However, garbage collection is erratic, especially out of Colombo, and we are yet to see an effective method of waste disposal.
It's also been a rather harsh year where natural disasters are concerned, as floods and mudslides in May killed over 200 people and displaced thousands more. Conversely, the country is also going through one of the worst droughts in 40 years, affecting 1,665,961 people. The tail end of November saw sudden gales and heavy rainfall, resulting in power-shortages, uprooted trees, and damaged property.
International Events: Making It To Miss Universe, Hosting Global Voices, And More

For the first time since 1955, when Maureen Hingert was second runner-up in the pageant, Christina Pieris, representing Miss Universe Sri Lanka 2017 made it to the semi-finals.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka's professional bodybuilding champ Lucion Pushparaj bagged two medals at international bodybuilding championships. Pushparaj won gold at the Asian Bodybuilding and Physique Sports Championship in South Korea and was awarded fourth place at the Mr. and Ms. Atlas and Fitness Expo 2017.
Global Voices, an organisation bringing together over a thousand writers, analysts, and media experts, hosted 2017's Global Voices Summit in Colombo. Spread over the first weekend of December, the event featured multiple panels, workshops, plenaries, and talks by people from around the world.
The same weekend saw Southbank Centre's Women of the World festival, which eponymously, was mainly women-focused. The festival featured inspirational speakers, all-girl bands, and several women-centric films.
Breaking (or making) Records

Last year's Galle Face Christmas tree fiasco finally got official recognition. The tree was a subject of controversy—a gargantuan contraption which could possibly have looked great was halted due to a comment made by Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith who stated it was a "wasteful expenditure." However, construction recommenced after a short delay, which resulted in completing the tree on an extremely tight deadline, hence its stunted appearance.
The tree, however, did break the Guinness World Record, and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe accepted the Guinness World Records Certification for the tallest artificial Christmas tree on 13 December.
Overall, it hasn't been the worst of years for Sri Lanka by far; except for the weather wreaking havoc, which we blame on global warming anyway. Sri Lanka is in a good place now, with a lot of potential for growth, despite the many hurdles in its way.
As far as Roar Media goes, we've had a good year too. Our team has grown tremendously, we won the Etisalat Social Media Day award, Venture Engine's annual entrepreneurship award, and have expanded to provide content in five languages across South Asia. We couldn't have done this without our readers, and we thank you, and wish you a great year ahead, with many more exciting things to come!

This guy can speak nine languages better than you can speak one (video)
Home » This guy can speak nine languages better than you can speak one (video)
BY: SINEAD MULHERN
Matthew Youlden, a language sponge from Manchester England can speak so many languages with a perfect accent that the man has been coined the "language chameleon".
This sociolinguist who studied translation and interpretation speaks nine languages and understands over a dozen. He's one of the lucky people who can claim to be a polyglot— a person who fluently speaks six or more languages.
This Englishman, who credits his knowledge of languages for allowing him to see the world from multiple perspectives, can speak Irish, German, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese, Hebrew, Italian and French as well as, obviously, English. And he adjusts to each language so naturally that when he talks, native speakers assume the language he speaks must be his first (hence the nickname language chameleon).
Currently he's working on his knowledge of Afrikaans, Dutch, Ukrainian, Galician, Serbian and Croatian. He says that even if languages are closely related, they will still give him a fresh new point of view.
This friendly-faced guy says he learned French in university when he was immersed in his studies as an interpreter. He went to Montreal to study the language more closely. Spanish was his first though followed by French and then Catalan. Originally, Youlden actually wanted to learn Portuguese upon booking a plane ticket with his brother for vacation in Portugal. But Portuguese wouldn't become his first conquered language after all. His mother suggested Spanish instead. Her reasoning was logical enough: more people in the world speak Spanish and therefore, it would have more uses when travelling.
Thinking his mother had made a reasonable argument, he took on Spanish travelling to Barcelona where he lived for an entire year.
As for Portuguese, that came eventually. As a matter of fact, he can also speak Brazilian Portuguese, a version he admits to not liking at the beginning. Now he's a master.

I made some super-soft, super-easy pillowcases this week.
I have a special quilting friend who is in rehab in a nursing home for a few weeks. Our guild has been visiting to keep her spirits up. Plus, she's a really fun lady! She is a famous quilter who does everything by hand. I'll share one of her quilts soon.
When we visit, she is propped up with pillows in a hospital bed and can't walk around freely. I thought a soft, cozy pillowcase would be better than the plain white ones they have. She has a room-mate who is very sweet, too, and the room-mates favorite color is pink!
I was looking for pink flannel and found these coordinating froggies. They are soft and cheerful! The pink with the green cuff is for the roommate and the green with the pink cuff is for my friend. Of course, I have a sick kiddo home this week, so I haven't been able to deliver these yet. I think they will like them!
I rotary-cut the pieces and assembled them on my serger. Literally about 5 minutes each!!!

RECAP: A Look Back at Gastown in 2013
Gastown Named One of the Coolest Neighbourhoods in the World
After being named the Fourth Most Stylish Neighbourhood by Complex Magazine in 2012, Gastown has been listed again as one of the world's coolest neighbourhoods in Stylist Magazine, and is among some of the world's highly acclaimed "fashionable or up-and-coming" places from Paris to Amsterdam and Hong Kong.
Gastown's Restaurant Scene Continues to Flourish
Gastown continues to be one of the best neighbourhoods in Vancouver for dining, with many new eateries joining the Gastown community including Rainier Provisions, The Flying Pig, Tuc Craft Kitchen, Bambudda, and East Van Roasters. Along with local eateries, The Portside Pub and Brooklyn Gastown joined the list of new businesses, adding to Gastown's growing nightlife scene.
There were many accomplishments this year. Rainier Provisions opened a paris-style patio (pictured above), the first stand alone patio in the Lower Mainland, L'Abattoir became the first and only Vancouver restaurant to be awarded with the prestigious Four Diamond Rating by the AAA, and Sean Heather from the Heather Hospitality Group was honoured at the B.C. Restaurant Hall of Fame (BCRHOF), who acknowledged his work in the Active Restaurateur category.
The Expansion of Fashion & Style
Gastown's style scene has shown significant growth with the emergence of new independent boutiques such as Board Of Trade Co, Artemisia, Athena Atelier, complexgeometries, and Litchfield. Gastown's menswear scene proves to be a force to be reckoned as new shops, Niftydo (pictured above) and FortKnight, became new stomping grounds for quality mens fashion. Pony Salon also opened its doors in the neighbourhood, and has gained a reputation for being one of the best places in Vancouver to get your haircut, coloured, and styled.
Along with the new additions, there were many things to celebrate this year. Salmagundi celebrated their 40th Anniversary and dutil denim, launched their record label, dutil. records – a few prime examples of how Gastown's businesses are making their mark and continuing to push the envelope.
Make Music Vancouver

Make Music Vancouver returned to Gastown's cobblestone streets for it's third year on Summer solstice, celebrating live outdoor music in a spectrum of genres with live acts ranging from five-man rock bands to a full scale classical orchestra. The music festival united all kinds of talent from professional to amateaur musicians with more than 100 musical acts performing live in Gastown.
Gastown Grand Prix

The Gastown Grand Prix was back, with the help of Global Relay, for another year of nail-biting, cycling race action. Over 20,000 spectators came to watch the short-track racing action in person, filling the neighbourhood with plenty of cowbell ringing action and loud roars from the sideboards. Check out our video clips of the first gun start, the final finish line cross, and other racing moments.
Aprons for Gloves

Aprons for Gloves, was back for another year with an exciting Restaurant Rumble between a group of individuals from the Gastown/Downtown Eastside restaurant industry to raise funds to revive the East Side Boxing Gym. Kristofer Better from L'Abattoir and Simon Kaulback from Boneta (pictured above to the left) were among those contending at fight night.
Gastown BBQ & Chili Festival

The annual Gastown BBQ and Chili Festival returned for the second year in a row. For two days, Carrall Street was transformed into a full-blown food festival with cook-off competitions, food tastings, street entertainment, and live music. Gastown restaurants competed at the cook-off competition for best ribs, brisket, wings and chili. All proceeds from the BBQ and Chili tastings went directly to Athletics 4 Kids, a local charity that helps under-privileged children participate in team sports.
Gastown Spring & Fall 2013 Shop Hop
The bi-annual Gastown Shop Hop was back again in Spring and Fall 2013, to celebrate fashion with music, complimentary champagne, nibbles and bites, and of course, shopping and dining deals. The Fall 2013 Gastown Shop Hop was the biggest Shop Hop yet, uniting 54 Gastown shops and 17 restaurants.
Gastown Holiday Spirit

To spread a little holiday festivity, Falken Reynolds Interiors installed a variety of one-of-a-kind, holiday installations around the neighbourhood, such as a light stick tree made with repurposed fluorescent and Sapporo can wreath. You can find these unique installations on display at LynnSteven, Sea Monstr Sushi, Six Acres, Inform Interiors, Bulthaup, Litchfield, and Roden Gray.
That's a wrap! It's been an incredible year in the Gastown Community. Thank you to everyone for continuing to support the neighbourhood. We wish you all a very happy new year. See you in 2014!


1. Happy New Year! Let's start 2012 off on the right note by showing up ready to work on Tuesday!
2. Sign up sheets are on the bulletin board for after school ensemble help. Slots are limited, so please sign up quickly if you wish to get help with your ensemble.
3. Winds Ensemble tests will begin on January 11th.
4. Auditions for next year's bands are right around the corner. The audition process will be similar to last year: A prepared excerpt of our choosing, and a prepared solo/excerpt of your choosing. In addition, you will be asked to perform a chromatic scale from memory.
5. Jazz Ensemble audio files are now located under the Jazz Ensemble tab.

This Middle School Catcher With One Arm Is More Athletic Than All Of Us
Big shout out to cornersville's middle school catcher. With the use of one arm, this guy is getting it done. What a stud. pic.twitter.com/4rhPycFGyY
— Travis Holland (@tholland25) April 13, 2017
First and foremost, this kid is incredible. He's undeniably a better catcher as a 14 year old with one arm than I would have been with three arms during my athletic prime. There's just nothing you can do but tip your cap to a persistent 8th grader who refused to let his handicap handicap him. If I tried to gun down a runner with my catching arm there's about a 97% chance the run would score without the ball leaving the 5 foot radius around home plate, so the fact that this kid looks like he's already deserving of a baseball scholarship is insane.
That being said, is he absolutely in love with playing catcher? I can't help but think he received some bad coaching along the way. If calling the game while kneeling behind the plate is his passion then he should continue to pursue it with the unmatched perseverance that he already has, but we can all agree that this is the least convenient spot for him on the baseball diamond, right? It may come off as rude, but this kid's sanity is more at risk than his knees. He certainly didn't get where he's at by being adverse to tedious tasks, but if I drop a pen more than once I am leaving it on the ground forever so I doubt I would make it to the second day of tryouts if had to collect my mitt after every single pitch. It's obviously it's an unfortunate product of his condition, but it's not one that's currently being minimized. With that hand-eye coordination he could probably excel anywhere in the infield, so why not move him to a position where he only has to fetch his glove a couple dozen times a game?

Stranger Things 4 is finally here + Ford CEO Jim Farley just launched a new podcast called Drive
📺 ON THE TUBE TONIGHT-
(all times CLT)
The fourth season of Stranger Things (or at least the first seven episodes) is dropping just in time for a weekend binge. The season, which we've been waiting on for nearly three full years, picks up more or less where we left off at the end of Stranger Things 3 in July 2019, following Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Will (Noah Schnapp), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), Max (Sadie Sink), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), and Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) as Eleven and Will try to settle into a new life in California, while the rest of the gang goes on with life back in Hawkins. Each episode this season will be rather lengthy, running at around 75 minutes each. A promising review: "Stranger Things 4 is bigger, bloodier, and much more intense than the seasons that came before it, but it also feels like a natural evolution of the sprawling epic the Duffer Brothers have been telling from the very beginning," writes The Verge.
⚽ As football season draws to a close across Europe, our trusty Egyptian Premier League will give us our kora fix for the next couple of months. Al Masry will face Al Ahly Bank at 6:30pm today, while Pyramids and Future will clash at 9pm.
Tomorrow: El Gouna goes against Al Ittihad at 6:30pm, and Misr Lel Makassa will face Farco at 9pm.
On Saturday, Zamalek is up against Ismaili on Saturday at 6:30pm, and Smouha will face Enppi at the same time. Ghazl El-Mahalla and Tala'a El-Gish will play at 4pm.
And finally, the most anticipated game of the season is the sweetest note to wrap your weekend on: The Liverpool v Real Madrid Champions League final will kick off on Saturday at 9pm.
🎾Good news / bad news from Roland Garros: Our very own tennis champion Mayar Sherif became the first ever Egyptian woman to make it to the second round of the French Open on Tuesday, after defeating Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk. The 26-year-old has unfortunately withdrawn from the championship, however, due to a fractured foot. Sherif was scheduled to face off with Slovenia's Tamara Zidanšek.
🐟 EAT THIS TONIGHT-
Back to the classics: Sea Gull is a great place for a satisfying "aklet samak": On an anchored boat on the Nile, Sea Gull gives you a wide selection of high quality seafood as well as a great view of the water. The restaurant has stuck to the traditional fish ordering process where you have to go see the fish and pick out what you want, but they let you get creative with how you want your seafood cooked. Get their sea bass with cream and mozzarella or their mussels with garlic and lemon. We also loved their fried calamari and shrimp (and really appreciated that it came fully peeled). Sea Gull just opened branches in North Coast's Marina Hotel as well as in New Cairo's Mar.v Mall (located on the North 90 street).
🎤 OUT AND ABOUT–
A self-love celebration is happening at The Natural Hair Fest tomorrow: Hosted by the Hair Addict (whose founder Doaa Gawish we recently spoke to), the event is looking to make self-love gender neutral this year by emphasizing the importance for everyone to embrace their natural hair and natural beauty. The event runs from 2-10 pm at The Field in Maadi.
MASQ is hosting an exhibition titled 'I'm one but also two' in celebration of Europe Day: The exhibition will include a collection of artworks in different mediums that explore various aspects of the interrelation between Egyptian and European cultures. The exhibition includes sculptures, paintings, photography, video projections, collage, and installations. MASQ is a cultural hub located at the Sultan Qaitbay Mosque. The exhibition will kick off on Saturday at 5pm.
Tawlet Yvonne is hosting a BBQ brunch on Saturday from 2-5pm with a live performance by Sara Morgan. Tawlet Yvonne is located in Maadi and offers delicious Lebanese food.
👂 EARS TO THE GROUND-
Ford CEO Jim Farley just launched a new podcast called Drive: The auto expert is diversifying out of his field, booking guests from various backgrounds on his new podcast show that debuted yesterday. Episodes will drop weekly and the lineup of guests includes Jimmy Kimmel (host of Jimmy Kimmel Live), Jochen Zeitz (CEO of Harley Davidson), Emelia Hartford (content creator who builds and races cars), Duke of Richmond Charles Gordon-Lennox who founded the Goodwood Festival of Speed and Revival, and NFL quarterback Tom Brady. You can check out the first episode featuring Dax Shepard, one of the hosts of Top Gear America.
