Greece may offer to China a European gateway
June 23, 2014 by Dennis Kefalakos Leave a Comment
(at the podium) José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission (first from right), and Herman van Rompuy, President of the European Council (first from left), went to Beijing where they participated in the 16th EU/China Summit with Li Keqiang, Chinese Prime Minister. This Summit marked the 10th anniversary of EU/China Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and provided an opportunity to launch new initiatives to take the relationship with the country forward in the following decade. (EC Audiovisual Services, 21/11/2013).
Chinese diplomacy delivered a good lesson to Europeans with the official visits of Premier Li Keqiang to Britain and Greece last week. In both cases the Chinese offered deals that the British and Greeks couldn't deny. In London, the Chinese Premier got a deal with the Bank of England which appointed one of China's largest banks as official Chinese currency clearing house in London. In Athens, Mr Li made sure that his country's interests in the privatization of parts of the Greek transport system, including ports, airports and trains will be well taken care of.
Greece is privatizing its two main sea ports in Piraeus and Salonika and the Athens airport and is preparing two major concessions. One for a new airport in Crete, and another of a new huge project of rail transit and storage near Athens. This last project may change the way the unbelievable volume of the Euro-Chinese trade travels in both directions. Let's see to that.
Euro-Chinese trade to change course?
A few years ago the Chinese giant group Cosco, a shipping, port management and logistics company won a 35-year lease to expand two main container terminals at the port of Piraeus in 2008. In a matter of a few years Cosco convinced major industrial groups producing in China and selling to Europe, that the rail trip from Piraeus to central and north Europe could be two or three days shorter than the standard route calling at West European ports.
The idea is that ships coming to the Mediterranean from the east through the Suez Canal and transporting goods for Europe could drop off their containers on a train in Piraeus and reach central Europe in a day and a half. The other option is to cross the entire Mediterranean Sea from east to west, gain the Atlantic Ocean through Gibraltar, and reach the north European ports in Rotterdam, Antwerp or elsewhere. The difference between the two options is at least three days. Of course at a large difference in costs.
In view of that, Cosco has been increasing its container business in the port of Piraeus at a breathtaking tempo and will soon make the Greek port the busiest of the Mediterranean. Today it is seventh in Europe. The Chinese company is about to invest $310m more in the Greek port to further expand its container activities in the port. The new investment awaits the Brussels clearance.
To Central Europe through Piraeus
Of course, the Chinese group has also expressed strong interest in acquiring the presently under privatization Greek public company which operates the entire port of Piraeus and is owned by the government. During last week's visit of the Chinese Premier in Greece, it became apparent, that if the Chinese are finally the winners in the privatization procedure, then Cosco will undertake to revitalize the nearby degraded ship repair area of Perama. Li said that the port of Piraeus is "a pearl in the Mediterranean Sea" and added it "could become one of the most competitive ports of the world". Naturally, he meant it under Chinese management.
Then it's the airports, the one in Athens and the plans to build a new in Crete. For this last project there is an expressed vivid interest from two Chinese companies, the Shenzhen Airport και the Friedmann Pacific Asset Management. The Chinese Premier expressed his interest in both cases and his Greek host, Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, commented that he was very happy to hear that. Both airports could serve as a gate for the millions of Chinese tourists wanting to visit Europe. In conclusion, the joint communique issued by the two Prime ministers noted, that "China attaches great importance to Greece's unique geographic advantage of being a gateway to Europe."
Last but not least, during the three days visit of the Chinese PM, the two countries signed 19 deals of a value of more than $6.4 billion ranging from shipbuilding to olive oil, wine and real estate.

Facebook and Twitter Are Slowly Becoming Each Other
By Kevin Roose
Facebook has been borrowing features from other social networks, and vice versa, for years. But as the war between Facebook and Twitter heats up, the appropriations are becoming more blatant.
In the last few weeks alone, Facebook has added Twitter-style hashtags and verified profiles. And this week, TechCrunch reports that Facebook-owned Instagram will be adding a video feature, essentially aping Twitter's Vine. The announcement of Instavideo will apparently come at an event on Thursday at Facebook's headquarters.
It's tactically smart, if a little scuzzy, for Instagram to copy the marquee feature of Vine, which recently surpassed it in the number of items shared. Facebook's facsimiles don't always work (see: Poke), but enough of them have done well that it's worth it to try.
The bigger issue here is that Facebook and Twitter — and their various wholly owned entities — are becoming nearly indistinguishable from each other, which makes consumer choice harder and dilutes the network effect of each company's platforms. If half your friends are sharing Instagram photos and videos, and the other half is sharing videos on Vine, you have to maintain a presence on both apps. That's annoying in the short term, and implausible in the long term.
For consumers who are sick of toggling between nearly identical apps, the best solution in the short run would be a merger of Facebook and Twitter, and the consolidation of certain key features into a single suite of apps. But given the bad blood between the two, and the fact that Facebook has resorted to blatant borrowing to stay a step ahead of Twitter, we probably shouldn't hold our collective breath.

Build muscle while you de-junk your cells - The Blog of Michael R. Eades, M.D.
Researchers from the University of Michigan published an article in the September issue of the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism showing that dietary carbohydrate restriction combined with increased protein intake increases muscle protein synthesis.
In brief, the study involved eight young (average age: 29) healthy subjects (four men; four women) who were admitted to the hospital and fed a diet of 60% carbohydrate, 30% fat, and 10% protein for two days. The subjects then switched to a carb-restricted, high-protein, high-fat study diet (5% carbohydrate, 60% fat, and 35% protein) for seven days. All parameters were measured just prior to switching to the study diet, two days later, and at the end of the one week study. The entire study was conducted in a hospital, which means that the data is much, much more reliable than that obtained by dietary recall.
The data from this study provided some surprises (to these researchers, anyway).
One of the long held beliefs of scientists in research settings has been that low-carbohydrate diets cause muscle loss. That seems absurd to anyone who has ever been on a low-carb diet, but nevertheless that's what most of the ivory tower folks believe. Why? Because a fair amount of research has shown that when subjects go on low-carb diets they go into negative nitrogen balance, an indicator of protein deficiency. Why? Both carbohydrate and fat are made of oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen. Protein, however, is made of those same three elements plus nitrogen and sulfur. When protein is broken down, nitrogen–which is gotten rid of through the kidneys–appears in the urine. Basically if more nitrogen appears in the urine than has been consumed from dietary proteind, the subject is said to be in negative nitrogen balance, and is thought to be breaking down protein instead of building it into muscle and other protein tissues.
It is well known that subjects following low-carbohydrate diets reduce their serum insulin levels substantially. In this study, for example, the subjects reduced their average 24 hour insulin concentrations by half within 2 days after switching to the low-carb diet. Insulin is an anabolic hormone, i.e., it causes growth. So when insulin levels are low, there is less stimulus for growth, and it seems reasonable that muscle should break down, which has been shown in a number of studies. Researchers observing this muscle breakdown have thought along these lines: low-carb diets cause a lowering of insulin levels, insulin is an anabolic hormone so lowered levels should decrease growth and bring about a decreased nitrogen balance, we usually find a decreased nitrogen balance in people on low-carb diets, so, Voila, low-carb diets cause muscle loss.
Problem is, as this study shows, it just ain't that simple.
Researchers in this study used much more sophisticated techniques than simply looking at the nitrogen balance, which at best is a sort of blunt instrument methodology. Muscle breakdown, called proteolysis, was measured as the rate of appearance of the amino acid leucine into the plasma. Protein synthesis was determined by the measurement of the incorporation of labeled leucine into muscle tissue obtained by muscle biopsy.
The data showed that during the low-carb, high-protein diet protein was being both broken down and synthesized at the same time. The researchers posited that the increased protein in the diet led to the increased muscle synthesis, while the lowered insulin caused an increased protein breakdown.
The major finding of the present study was that muscle protein synthesis increased despite strict carbohydrate restriction and a marked reduction in the daily exposure to insulin. This increase in protein synthesis was accompanied by an increase in whole-body proteolysis.
The authors of the study take the position that there is, along with the muscle synthesis driven by the increased dietary protein, a breakdown of muscle at the same time caused by the reduced insulin levels, so that the sum of the two determines whether one is in overall muscle-building mode or muscle-wasting mode. (Interestingly, they didn't measure the sum in this study–they only showed that both mechanisms were at work simultaneously). I disagree with them.
A bit of physiology never mentioned in this study is the notion of ketosis. I'm quite sure that subjects restricted to the minimal amounts of carbohydrate used in this study went into ketosis in a hurry and stayed there for the duration of the study. As shown in a recent study in the Journal of Biological Chemistry ketone bodies themselves assist in the breakdown of protein, but in a good way. As cells age they begin to accumulate debris (much of it made of protein) that kind of junks up the cells. As this cellular debris acrues it can impair the function of the cell. In fact, one of the components of aging is this trash pile of cellular junk, and many anti-aging therapies revolve around clearing the cells of it.
The body has ways of clearing the debris that involve transporting the stuff to areas of the cell called lysosomes where it can be chemically degraded into its component amino acids, which are then used by the cell or transported to the blood. Ketones accelerate this process substantially, which makes perfect sense when you think about it.
Ketones are a part of the "starvation response." If we don't eat, the liver starts producing ketone bodies to provide energy for the tissues such as the brain that normally use glucose. The switch from glucose to ketone bodies spares the muscle tissue because during starvation our bodies breakdown muscle to make blood sugar. The name of the game survival-wise becomes conserving muscle tissue as long as possible. In an effort not to have to resort to muscle breakdown nature has designed us so that ketone bodies not only act as a blood sugar substitute but actually increase as well the degradation of junk proteins to provide the amino acids needed for both muscle maintenance and blood sugar conversion. Nifty, eh?
I'm convinced that the increased proteolysis seen in low-carb diets comes not from muscle breakdown, but from the increased junk protein degradation stimulated by the increased levels of ketone bodies. If I'm right, then low-carb diets do a couple of good things: they build muscle and they dejunk the cells. What a deal!
After more than 40 years of both anaerobic and aerobic training which has been nutritionally fuelled in different ways over this period of time I've now arrived at the definite conclusion that low-carb foods build muscle, for the life of me if I continue to try and diminish muscle mass then I will have to do two things; the first is the unthinkable… stop training and the second is the impossible…stop eating! The body will do what the body will, sorry this may seem a little enigmatic but it's in the genes. Simplistic to say I know especially after all the research and study that we subject ourselves and others to, at times it results in conflicting and contradicting statements, nothing hard nor fast, this does not stop most folks from commenting that I look in my twenties when in actual fact I am in my forties. Although never the intention, it's proof enough for me.
Yes, again you are right but you are not what you eat – you are what you are. There's the deal, take it or leave it but life is great!
Glad to hear that the low-carb diet lead to increased muscle mass in your case. In my experience, it does in almost everyone's.
Incredibly interesting topic for me, because, as someone in my forties but about to embark on a new career of fitness instructor, muscle growth and being in great shape is imperative (though it probably should be for everyone, at least generally).
Have you found that actual evidence (not hypotheses) to be that people gain more muscle mass on a low carb, hi-pro diet? Personally, it would suit me fine for that to be the case, as I tend toward proteins and fats more anyway. Still, I want to garner as much info as I can that's legit, not slanted according to wishes.
Many thanks for your book (I have Protein Power) and website!
Yes, I have found that people gain more muscle mass on low-carb diets. You have to have protein to gain muscle, and low-carb diets typically contain a lot more protein than low-calorie diets.
If you want to get another opinion, look at Fred Hahn's site and contact him through the comment section of his blog.

Downtown worker worries St. John's parking ban will increase drunk driving
From the moment news of the planned pilot parking ban by St. John's city council hit social media sites earlier this year, Melissa Blackmore felt it wasn't a good idea.
City says it's a pilot project to help with snow-removal, but will people risk driving impaired over a ticket?
Jeremy Eaton · CBC News · Posted: Jan 29, 2018 9:32 AM NT | Last Updated: January 29, 2018
Downtown St. John's parking comes into effect Jan. 30 at 3:30 a.m. (Jeremy Eaton/CBC)
Three weeks later the area resident says her opinion hasn't changed.
"It appears the City of St. John's is putting snowclearing above citizens' safety," Blackmore told CBC News on Sunday, adding that she thinks if people don't want to pay for parking or realize what options are available, impaired driving will increase, because they'll get in their cars and drive them home rather than leave them there and return in the morning.
Melissa Blackmore, who works in downtown St. John's, fears the ban will put more drunk drivers on the road. (Jeremy Eaton/CBC)
That's not the intent, though.
The city says the pilot project will help staff's efforts in removing snow on parts of Water and Duckworth streets, areas littered with pubs, clubs and restaurants.
Coun. Debbie Hanlon wants to see less snow on the streets and fewer impaired drivers. (Jeremy Eaton/CBC)
Coun. Debbie Hanlon has heard others raise Blackmore's concern that if people can't park in and around the entertainment area then they'll get behind the wheel while they're impaired, but she doesn't accept it.
"We believe that responsible people will not drink and drive," Hanlon said.
"Right now Newfoundland and Labrador has the highest number of drunk drivers, so we are really hoping that this might actually help that."
Pilot parking project aiming to help snow-removal efforts isn't winning everyone over 2:09
Here's how the ban works.
On Jan. 30 at 3:30 a.m. any vehicles left parked on Water Street between Prescott Street and Waldegrave Street, and on Duckworth Street, between Cochrane Street and New Gower Street, will be towed at the owner's expense: $250 plus $25 every day that goes past without picking up the offending automobile.
Hanlon says the money goes to the contractor doing the heavy lifting and is not "a cash grab" for the city.
Hanlon said people can park at City Hall, at the remaining 300 or so spots downtown, or in one of two parking garages. (City of St. John's )
The pilot project ban affects about 320 parking spaces and it will be lifted at 6:30 a.m., giving plow operators three hours to rid the empty streets of snow.
"A lot of people downtown have been waiting for this for some time," said Hanlon.
"Store owners, restaurant owners, and people who live and work downtown, we are getting lots of support from them."
Please note, new @CityofStJohns parking restrictions in @DowntownStJohns (3:30-6:30am daily) start Jan 30. See the attached map/info for nearby parking options.

As always, please party responsibly! Designate a driver. #dontdrinkanddrive pic.twitter.com/0PB8zxUNHr
—@GeorgeStLive
Over the weekend city workers went around the parking ban area placing bright coloured fliers let drivers know of the upcoming ban. The windshield literature outlines where people cannot park and where they can find additional spaces outside of the parking-ban area.
Blackmore said she's concerned about her friends who work in the bar and restaurant industry who will now have to walk a lot farther to their cars in the early morning hours.
"There is no snow here right now, so it doesn't make sense," she said.
"To me, it would make sense after a big snowfall. Put the parking ban in place then for two or three days."
The parking ban pilot project will start at 3:30 a.m. on Jan. 30 and will run into April.
Don't leave your car downtown overnight: Parking ban starting soon in St. John's

Q: asynchronous WS calls and await() outside of a controller Is there a way to use the await() mechanism outside of a controller?
I do not wish to have code making the asynchronous call in the controller, but instead have that code in a service class that can be reused by multiple controllers however, there is no way to call await outside of a controller since that method is protected.
So for example in the controller:
   ServiceClass service = new My ServiceClass();
   MyObject myObject= service.getMeAnObject();
   render(myObject);

And the service class:
   public class ServiceClass
   {
      ...
      public MyObject getMeAnObject()
      {
         String url = "http://...";
         Promise<HttpResponse> promise = url(url).getAsync();

         // do something here similar to await in a controller
         // that suspends the code waiting for the response
         // to be retrieved

         HttpResponse response = promise.get();
         return buildMyObjectFromResponse(reponse);
      }
      ...
   }

Is there a way to achieve something like that?
Thanks for your help.

Edit: I followed Pere's advice and made the service class implement Controller, it works however, it is necessary that the controller using it be enhanced. The only way I found out to get that done is at least invoke once the await method() in the calling controller class.
However, I still have not verified that the code is actually suspended.

Edit 2: One suggestion I got from the google group is that I should really try and do the await in the controller, so maybe an better solution would be for the service to return a
Promise and have the controller wait for this but then
there's no way for me todo that is there?
So for example in the controller:
  ServiceClass service = new My ServiceClass();
  Promise<MyObject> promise = service.getMeAnObject();
  MyObject myObject = await(promise);
  render(myObject);

And the service class:
  public class ServiceClass
  {
     ...
     public Promise<MyObject> getMeAnObject()
     {
        String url = "http://...";
        // Somehow Build a Promise<MyObject>
     }
     ...
  }

}

A: So far, this is the best approach I have found I think, unless there is a problem with managing separate thread pools within the Play instance.
I have taken example on what Play does in the WSAsync.WSAsyncRequest
class and this seems to work.
In essence, the await is done within the controller, but the service class returns a Promise of the object I expected the service to return which is fine because I don't know the details of how that object was retrieved at the controller level.
In the controller:
ServiceClass service = new My ServiceClass();
Promise<MyObject> promise = service.getMeAnObject();
MyObject myObject = await(promise);
render(myObject);

And the service class:
public class ServiceClass
{
    public Promise<MyObject> getMeAnObject()
    {
        String url = "http://...";
        return execute(WS.url(url).getAsync());
    }

    private Promise<MyObject> execute(final Promise<HttpResponse> promise)
    {
        try
        {
            final Promise<MyObject> smartFuture = new Promise<MyObject>();
            ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor executor = MyAppThreadPools.getServiceThreadPool();

            executor.submit(new Runnable()
                {
                    @Override
                    public void run()
                    {
                        try
                        {
                            smartFuture.invoke(new MyObject(promise.get()));
                        }
                        catch (Throwable e)
                        {
                            smartFuture.invokeWithException(e);
                        }
                    }
                });

            return smartFuture;
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    }
}

So this seems to solve my problem for now.
Thanks all.

A: As you mentioned await is only accessible from a Controller.
Make the Service class extend Controller, create a number of protected support methods in there and use it as parent class for the Controllers.
That way you can share the implementation across controllers, while having access to all the controller methods (await, render, etc).

A: This is probably too late to help you :) but the way to do it is by using the Promise.onRedeem() method to invoke a new promise that is returned and awaited in the controller...
public Promise<Boolean> deauthorise() {
    final Promise<Boolean> promise = new Promise<>();

    WS.url("https://connect.stripe.com/oauth/deauthorize")
            .setParameter("client_secret", play.Play.configuration.getProperty("stripe.secretKey"))
            .setParameter("client_id", play.Play.configuration.getProperty("stripe.clientId"))
            .setParameter("stripe_user_id", this.stripeUserId)
            .postAsync()
            .onRedeem(new Action<Promise<HttpResponse>>() {
                @Override
                public void invoke(Promise<HttpResponse> result) {
                    HttpResponse response = result.getOrNull();
                    promise.invoke(response != null && response.success());
                }
            });
    return promise;
}

Over the long-term, the ASEAN-India strategic partnership, an integral element of ESCAP's regional cooperation and integration strategy, will promote prosperity and sustainable development for the Asia-Pacific region. A full-scale ASEAN-India alliance would offer benefits not only to the participating countries, but to the entire region. I would like to share with you some observations on the dynamics and prospects for this partnership.
Let me begin by thanking H.E. Mr. Kairat Umarov, the Permanent Representative of Kazakhstan, for organising this event. I am pleased to have the opportunity to talk about ESCAP's work in North and Central Asia. Through our headquarters in Bangkok, as well as our office in Almaty, we support nine members of the Commission in this sub-region in their work to deliver on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
We will continue to support regional cooperation and integration which was rightly recognised as one of the most effective ways to accelerate progress towards the SDGs by this year's Commission. Indeed, improving the Agenda 2030's means of implementation remains our priority. With this in mind, we have revitalized partnerships with regional UN development agencies, regional development banks and think tanks. We're determined to tap their expertise to effectively deliver on a central part of our mandate: regional follow up and review.
The United Nations' regional commissions have a clear mandate to assist their Member States in integrating the different dimensions of sustainable development, providing technical support for the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals and supporting the intergovernmental agreements needed for real progress. ESCAP will use this mandate to deliver on our commitment to sustainable energy, to ensure global commitments are transformed into tangible regional sustainable energy strategies to power greener, more inclusive economies that respect the needs of future generations. I look forward to hearing your debates on these important topics.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, together with market, infrastructure and technology advancements have great potential to shape a future powered by clean, sustainable energy. Energy supply enhancements are needed to address existing deficits and meet the needs of over 1.4 billion without energy access. Reducing dependence on fossil fuel sources is urgent as the carbon budget to keep the world within 2 degrees of warming is dwindling. Energy is the key contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for almost three quarters of the global total.
Energy access will require integrated responses that combine local development and income generation with provision of energy. Innovative financing and business models are needed to draw the private sector in to the task of rural energy provision. More effective energy efficiency policy frameworks are needed to address market failures, information gaps and encourage the adoption of efficient technologies, particularly in developing countries.
Governments can strengthen infrastructure investment in the region by proper planning and coordination across relevant ministries. Complementary policy measures should be undertaken, supported by stronger institutional governance for project execution, respect for property rights and the rule of law to ensure the benefits of infrastructure are shared by all. Infrastructure development frameworks for policy design and implementation are important for this purpose - bringing various sectors together. Overall, ESCAP is mandated to provide a regional platform to bolster infrastructure development and maintenance capacity in CSNs, with the active participation of emerging regional, subregional and national initiatives.

How she overcome her fight with illnesses and eventually founded Kate Porter Yoga studio to help 'normal people' reap the benefits of yoga.
Founder of the KPY studio, Kate was born and raised in South Africa before moving to the United Kingdom for eight years. In year 2000 Kate became ill and was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus and Fibromyalgia, which virtually rendered her bed-ridden for the better part of four years and was unable to continue working.
After moving to the East Coast of Singapore in 2005, Kate turned to yoga. Yoga was instrumental in helping Kate regain and maintain her health. Having begun yoga with significant physical restrictions, Kate believes that yoga is a great tool for everyone to feel and get better and it is with this belief that she set up the studio.
In 2015, after 6 years in the business and two children, she decided to sell the KPY business to focus on other priorities in her life – family and health. The business is now owned by Li Ling, who joined her teaching team in 2012 and subsequently helped run the operations in 2013. Today, Li Ling continues to run the studio keeping the initial spirit in which Kate wanted the business to be – Yoga for Normal People, for everyone, for every body.
Kate, her husband Tom, and her two beautiful children have moved back to South Africa in March 2016 to be nearer to her family. But this is not goodbye, she says, as she will come back to Singapore from time to time and we will see her on the mat at KPY again. Read about the full story of KPY below.


All you people out there who are looking for a fruit-based supplement that will amplify the results of your workout sessions and dietary plans, this review is just for you. While the number of fruits to join the list of "super-fruits" is increasing by the day, some of these outpace the rest on the basis of efficiency.
An entirely new formulation to boost up the results of diet and exercise of a person has finally been launched, and this product uses Maqui berries as its prime ingredient. In addition to making you lose weight the healthiest way possible, this revolutionary solution is accompanied by a couple of health benefits that will leave you feeling fabulous.
Maqui Berry Select is the best product containing PURE extracts available in the market and is highly recommended by doctors for people who crave to lose weight in a safe environment.
To avoid any fraudulence, you can Click Here and have a look at the Original product.
With this Maqui Berry Select review, you will learn how these profound berries help in fetching you a superlative amount of weight loss, and the advantages and disadvantages that come with them.
What Is Maqui Berry Select?
Coming at a reasonable price, the product is a supplement that contains 60 capsules, each of which is incorporated with 100% pure Maqui berry extracts. Although these are in the form of capsules, they claim to be completely natural.
They are also known as Chilean Wineberries are native to the temperate rainforests of Chile and are sparsely cultivated. Owing to these conditions, not everyone can travel to Chile only to pluck the berries and enjoy their benefits. Plus, you'd have to gobble up tons of these berries to achieve the same merits that the capsules can facilitate you with.
This is why scientists have extracted the vital ingredients from maqui berries and infused them into pills. This is way more convenient than having to consume enormous amounts of berries to attain the same intensity of benefits.
The extra energy needed for your body is supplied by Maqui Berry Select. The capsules boost your energy to towering levels so that your exercises do not seem tiresome. This ensures that you can lose all that excess fat in a lesser amount of time, while keeping you in the best of health.
Since the product is a fruit-based weight loss supplement, it also furnishes vitamins and other nutrients to your body. This enhances dietary plans, because not all people follow proper dieting habits, and as a consequence, they end up missing out on vital nutrients.
Green Tea extract, which is a natural, highly potent fat burning compound, is also included in the pills, so that they amplify the action of the berry extracts. The other ingredients work in combination to do the same.
Although the product doesn't claim to anything as such, some users have reported a suppressed appetite. You too might get lucky enough to enjoy that advantage too, you never know.
So in case you want to buy Maqui Berry Select, you can Click Here and navigate to a trusted source.
1. 100% effective. Thousands of users are more than satisfied with the results of Maqui Berry Select. The product has not only aided them in losing weight, but also encompassed the consumers in the healthiest of environments.
2. Absolutely zero side effects. Of the vast amount of people that have tried the formulation, not a single sapien has reported adverse effects in any form. So you don't have to worry about any kind of adverse drug reactions.
3. Increased metabolism and energy. In order that your body breaks down a substance and converts it into energy and reforms the substance to keep the cycle going so that you don't face fatigue, metabolic rates should be maintained and not plateaued. This factor is taken care of impressively by Maqui Berry Select. When metabolic rates are amplified, energy levels automatically get an uplift.
4. Decreased oxidation. Oxidation causes a lot of problems, including skin problems too. SO for those looking for a weight loss solution along with skin benefits, this is definitely for you as maqui berries are powerful anti-oxidants.
1. Not available in local pharmacy stores. While buying online is simple and easy, purchasing the product might be difficult for those who seldom transact via internet.
3. Not FDA evaluated. Like most other products of its type, Select isn't FDA certified.
Ultimately, I feel Maqui Berry Select is a hero. Creating something that solely serves its purpose or delivers additional pleasant benefits without precipitating side effects is not all that easy. But the makers of this merchandise have done exactly that and given us this revolutionary solution to weight-loss.
I couldn't figure out any more than 2 cons, and that itself proves how amazingly amazing the product actually is. The advantages of the product outrun its disadvantages and that's what makes it so convincing for me.
These customized weight loss programs, fitness tracking systems and diet plans in combination with Maqui Berry Select escalate your health and fitness to a level that you've probably never experienced before.
You can Click Here to go get the transforming invention right away and look and feel absolutely stunning.

New rates take effect in January for Duke Energy Kentucky natural gas customers, supporting new natural gas infrastructure
Jan 1, 2022 | Business
The Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC) issued an order on Dec. 28 approving new rates for Duke Energy Kentucky's 102,000 natural gas customers, effective beginning in January.
Average residential usage will result in an approximate 6.27% increase in monthly natural gas bills. The increase will vary depending on the amount of natural gas a customer uses, a customer's rate class and the market price of natural gas.
The company does not earn any profit from increases in fuel costs.
Duke Energy Kentucky provides gas service to customers in Boone, Campbell, Grant, Kenton, Bracken, Gallatin and Pendleton counties. The PSC's order does not impact electric rates.
A rate agreement was reached with the consumer advocate, the Kentucky attorney general, in October, and public meetings and hearings were held in October seeking public input.
The PSC's order largely adopts the settlement with the Kentucky attorney general, recognizing the company's investments in its natural gas delivery system. The order also approved a mechanism to mitigate future rate adjustments while allowing the company to modernize its natural gas infrastructure under applicable federal regulations.
"We appreciate the PSC and the Kentucky Attorney General for giving such thoughtful consideration to our customers and to the investments we've made to keep our system safe and reliable for decades to come," said Amy Spiller, president of Duke Energy Ohio and Kentucky. "We have managed our costs to operate and maintain the system nearly flat for more than a decade, and we continue to focus on helping our customers better manage their energy usage and reduce their bills."
In June 2021, Duke Energy sought the public review of its rates to support its ongoing investments in the safety and reliability of the region's natural gas delivery system. The Order authorizes a $9.17 million increase in base rates, which is about an 8.21% increase over the company's existing revenue.
The PSC's rate order and other documents in the case can be viewed here.

Duke Energy Ohio/Kentucky
Duke Energy Ohio/Kentucky, a subsidiary of Duke Energy, provides electric service to about 860,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers in a 3,000-square-mile service area, and natural gas service to approximately 538,000 customers in a 2,650 square-mile service area.
Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK), a Fortune 150 company headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., is one of America's largest energy holding companies. Its electric utilities serve 7.9 million customers in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky, and collectively own 51,000 megawatts of energy capacity. Its natural gas unit serves 1.6 million customers in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio and Kentucky. The company employs 27,500 people.
Duke Energy is executing an aggressive clean energy strategy to create a smarter energy future for its customers and communities – with goals of at least a 50 percent carbon reduction by 2030 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The company is a top U.S. renewable energy provider, on track to own or purchase 16,000 megawatts of renewable energy capacity by 2025. The company also is investing in major electric grid upgrades and expanded battery storage, and exploring zero-emitting power generation technologies such as hydrogen and advanced nuclear.

Since we'€™ve caught up with the band Hey Monday just at Warped Tour last summer, already so much has changed for the band in a positive way. Just after I talked with Alex Lipshaw at Warped, a few things were announced so shortly after with the loss of Michael '€œJersey'€ Moriarty and instead of having a new LP the band instead had an EP put out. Despite those hardships, it is clear that the three original members in Mike Gentile, Cassadee Pope and Alex Lipshaw have only learned and grown from the rough experiences they have had over this past year.
I got the chance to catch up with the band again at one of the last few dates of the Dirty Work tour that just finished and we talked about everything the band is up to with in these next few months! They just got home from Indonesia where they played a headlining show with A Rocket To The Moon and The Downtown Fiction in Jakarta and with a week in South America, the gang will be settling down to write and record some new music which will result in a new full length for the band. As cheesy as it may sound, '€˜Hold On Tight'€™ for a follow up to their incredibly successful first record and keep your eyes peeled for everything coming from this incredibly talented band in the next few months!
It has been almost three years I want to say since the full length '€˜Hold On Tight'€™ dropped.
Cassadee: Yeah!
In 2008! How excited are you guys to finally be like back in the studio? Like hopefully making a full length?
Cassadee: I mean it'€™s just exciting to write together again. It'€™s been a while and you know obviously releasing an EP wasn'€™t our decision because we were really excited about releasing a full length and when we found out, we were pretty bummed out. It was just one of those things where you'€™re on a major label and sometimes they make decisions and you have to kind of just deal with it and hope that after you just kind of roll with things that eventually you'€™ll have more of a say in the long run. You know we trusted them with it and it was just basically like bad timing and we didn'€™t want to release it when all these crazy big artists were releasing their albums. We didn'€™t want to be overshadowed so we decided to wait and I feel like it was a good decision in the long run because now it'€™s like we'€™re finishing this amazing tour with All Time Low and the things we have planned. It'€™s so spread out so we have a lot of time to just write and go into the studio and make a bad ass record and release a full length and that will be really good!
Perfect and then you have toured so much since that record came out. I mean I saw you guys for the first time with Fall Out Boy like '€˜09.
Cassadee: Oh wow jeez!
Alex: Long time!
Oh yeah! Long, long time ago. I honestly did not know who you were and you were first to play. Stuff like that! How do you think that time as the three of you in this band has been helping you since the beginning?
Mike: Go for it Alex!
Alex: I think that for us, touring is the number one factor when it comes to making a band tight. I mean we'€™ve been booked to be on tours pretty much ever since the Fall Out Boy tour. So yeah, I mean traveling every single day together. Also, when you'€™re on tour say you like mess up on a show you always have a show the next day which is kind of like saying you can put it behind you and stuff like that. When you'€™re in like a local band and you play a show once a month and you mess up like a small thing on that show, it just eats at you. Touring'€™s definitely, it just makes you a lot better as a musician and as a band I think.
Cassadee: Agreed.
Mike: And I think because of it, the three of us have this insane bond because in the past three years we'€™ve had so many incredible things happen to us and so many just pretty horrible things happen but we'€™ve gotten through it together. The three of us and we'€™re so close because of it and it'€™s just made us a better band and now we just have such a positive outlook on everything because of our past experiences and I feel like the best way to know something is to learn from an experience and we'€™ve had a lot of experiences to learn from. So we'€™re just going to go into everything knowing what we know and it'€™s going to be awesome.
Well that'€™s a great thing to hear!
Cassadee: Thank you!
Of course you'€™re welcome! Maybe do you think the writing'€™s going to change with this record or is it going to stay pretty similar to like what you guys have been doing? I know when we talked, you had been writing with Butch Walker.
And collaborating some with other people. Is that going to change, happen again with this record? Classic Hey Monday?
Cassadee: I think it'€™s probably going to go a little more towards how Hey Monday sounded before and also at the same time, I feel lyrically I mean I'€™m growing and I can'€™t help it. It'€™s just life! So I feel like lyrically, that'€™s going to mature even more but musically I feel like it'€™s going to be more fun then the EP and a little more lighthearted. We'€™re all in like a different place then we were during the EP. It'€™s like a little bit more of a freeing kind of place and we'€™re all really happy and there'€™s nothing really dark going on in our lives right now. So it'€™s definitely going to be like a lighthearted kind of fun record but as far as songwriting goes we'€™ve been writing, all three of us, a lot recently and I'€™d still like to be thinking of doing some co-writes. I'€™ve done some in Nashville and I want to go back there because that was amazing and next time we'€™ll all go together but I went there alone and it was amazing so they'€™re just like stoked to go and see it for themselves. So that will be fun!
Perfect! No it looks like things are really shaping up.
Cassadee: It is, yeah! Always good things.
And then now that you are two EP'€™s and a full length in. I know you guys did the Candles EP as well and did the video for Candles which was on the first record, how do you think it'€™s all been going over with the fans? Like with that EP and going on all of Warped last summer.
Cassadee: Well ever since Warped Tour, I mean we'€™ve gained a lot of fans that we never would have gained because Warped Tour is slightly more masculine, more like harder demographic so that was cool and it gave us fans and then the Candles EP. When that came out, it was just all really good timing because everyone from Glee like used Candles in their show and that really helped but yeah the fans seem to be taking to it pretty well. It'€™s definitely one of the best received songs we play live. Like the kids seem to really get into it and I feel like it'€™s always been a fan favorite since the beginning but since we'€™ve kind of revamped it and re-recorded it, it was given another life. So we'€™ve sort of kind of given it another shot and are giving it, you know, the actual chance that it deserves.
Perfect and then maybe who would you say is like your dream collaboration for you guys? Like you'€™ve sung on songs, you'€™ve worked with other people.
Cassadee: I would love to do something with Michelle Branch someday. I love her. She could write, cowrite, anything.
Alex: I would kind of love to like write with the guys in Yellowcard. I think that that would be awesome. Maybe. I don'€™t know.
Mike: Oh man! That'€™s so hard. I would, hmm, love to do some stuff with Blink. That would be pretty crazy or like Patrick Stump would be awesome.
Cassadee: Mmhmm!
Mike: I'€™d love to just work with an artist that has done it and experienced it and they know what it'€™s like to be in a band. They know what it'€™s like to write and record a record and they know what it'€™s like to just do your thing and have somebody oversee it. Make it a better product instead of trying to make it something that is really not so that'€™s why I would love to work with people like Mark and Tom or Patrick. Somebody who just gets it.
And those guys (Fall Out Boy) are all really doing something different from what that band was doing, it'€™s really great!
Cassadee: Yeah going into all different avenues it'€™s awesome. Good things!
Then this is kind of a different question but what are like the three things that you must have while on the road to survive? Maybe personally and not just as a band.
Cassadee: I'€™m pretty generic. Cell phone.
Alex: Computer.
Cassadee: Computer. I don'€™t really use my computer on tour but.
Mike: Yeah I mean iPhone kind of takes care of all of that. I mean you can do everything with it.
Cassadee: iPhone I guess. To be specific!
Alex: The iPhone. Tooth brush.
Mike: Hair straightner (all start laughing).
Alex: Electric shaver.
Cassadee: We'€™re getting greedy!
Mike: We'€™d get pretty grody if not.
Cassadee: One thing!
Mike: I thought you said three things!
Alex: Yeah me too my bad but alright and this beautiful painting right there (pointing at a painting on the wall).
Cassadee: Pretty lady!
Mike: That'€™s a dude actually.
Cassadee: No it'€™s not.
Then like I said you did do the video for Candles which was on the first record. How did you guys come up with the idea for that video?
Cassadee: Well ever since we wrote the song, I had this idea. It was actually going to be another girl acting through out the video and I had like a different kind of treatment but we kind of dumbed it down. It would have taken too big of a budget to make the video as I wanted but we dumbed it down. We just wanted it to be like a dark, more elegant video and we'€™ve never done it before. Like the three videos we'€™ve ever done are just super poppy and colorful and fun and we wanted to show a different side to us and the song is very like melancholy and sad.
Mike: Dark but with a hint of light like at the end of the tunnel.
Cassadee: That'€™s true!
Mike: Which is kind of portrayed through the dark video with hints of light in the room.
Cassadee: With hints of light passing by. I guess it is a pretty artistic video if you look into it.
Mike: We really just wanted it to be hipster.
Cassadee: You could think of a lot of symbolism and whatever but you know when it comes down to it, it'€™s just a sad, sad video and sad song.
Then to end it all off, you guys have been busy. You did your headlining tour this past fall with Cartel and The Ready Set, you'€™ve been touring steadily. What'€™s coming up like in these next few months? Are you focusing on the record? Are you going to be taking a little break from the road?
Cassadee: We haven'€™t had any plans come up for the summer so honestly we'€™re going to take that time to write and hopefully come up with a plan to get into the studio and start recording but as of right now the only things we have planned are straight after this. We'€™re going to Indonesia for a show with Rocket and The Downtown Fiction and that will be really fun and then in August, we'€™re doing a week in Brazil, Argentina and Chile so that'€™s all we have planned right now but most of our focus is going to be going towards the next album and making that happen!

The Trump-Russia Web – Part 5: High-Level Summaries
High Level Summaries
Disclaimer: All of these are summaries of the words of others. They are not being represented here as either fact or as the opinion of the webmaster unless specifically stated. All statements and assertions should be read as if prefaced by "(name of person being summarized) states that …" Any content that I add will be surrounded by [brackets] and will likely include a link or reference to the source.
William Browder's Opening Statement
(Opening Statement to Senate Judiciary Committee – July 26, 2017)
U.S.-born William Browder was a highly successful investment manager in Russia for several years. He exposed corruption among Russia's oligarchs, and these efforts were initially supported by Putin because it weakened Putin's opposition. As Putin became more powerful, he started wanting a cut of any illicit money taken in by the oligarchs and the Russian mafia: Browder's anti-corruption efforts were no longer welcome, and neither was Browder. He was falsely accused of tax evasion, and hired attorney Sergei Magnitsky to prove him innocent. When Magnitsky found evidence that supported Browder and took it to Russian authorities, he was jailed, treated harshly, and died in prison a year later. To avenge his death, Browder successfully advocated in the U.S. for the Magnitsky Act, which freezes the U.S. assets of all wealthy Russians responsible for Magnitsky's death, including Putin.
Natalia Veselnitskaya's Notes
(Notes allegedly used by Russian lawyer at Trump Tower meeting)
Relations between the U.S. and Russia have become needlessly strained as a result of the Magnitsky Act. William Browder's story that resulted in passage of the Magnitsky Act is a lie. Browder avoided paying an enormous amount of taxes in both Russia and the United States, and Sergei Magnitsky was an accomplice to his criminal activity. (As a side note, New York billionaires, the Ziff brothers – major Democratic donors – illegally invested with Browder for years, and if they donated to Hillary Clinton, that money would therefore be tainted.) The U.S. should repeal the Magnitsky Act so that relations between Russia and the U.S. can improve. Because Putin retaliated for the Magnitsky Act by banning adoption of Russian orphans by Americans, a removal of the Magnitsky Act will likely also benefit helpless orphans who have been unduly harmed by Putin's response to the Magnitsky Act.
Steele Dossier
(Memos developed by Christopher Steele while investigating Trump's business ties in Russia as part of opposition research)
There appears to be a significant collaborative effort between the Kremlin and the Trump Campaign to help Donald Trump win the 2016 Presidential election. The Kremlin had extensive "kompromat" on both Trump and Clinton, and is actively engaging in cyber operations against the Clinton Campaign. Their kompromat on Trump is sufficient to blackmail him. Major Kremlin objectives appear to be to destabilize the west, achieve removal of U.S. sanctions against Russia, and weaken U.S. policies that negatively impact Russia.
Simpson Testimony #1 – Prevezon Case
(Testimony of Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson before Senate Judiciary Committee on August 17, 2017)
Law firm Baker Hostetler hired Simpson's company, Fusion GPS, to research information that could vindicate their client, Cyprus-based investment company Prevezon Holdings. Prevezon had been accused of money laundering by the U.S. Department of Justice. Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya was Prevezon's attorney, and she hired Baker to help with such a major case. During the research, Simpson discovered that William Browder – a major enemy of Vladimir Putin – was the source of the money laundering allegations against Prevezon. Browder was very evasive and reluctant to testify to his accusations against Prevezon under oath. Simpson compiled a large amount of public information on Browder that seemed to call into question Browder's credibility. During the course of his involvement with the case, Simpson ended up at two group dinners with Veselnitskaya, both the evening before and after her Trump Tower meeting, and was also at a hearing for Prevezon with her on the day of the Trump Tower meeting. Simpson was unaware of Veselnitskaya's Trump Tower meeting until it was reported in the news.
(Testimony of Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson before House Intelligence Committee on November 14, 2017)
More details that further fill out Simpson's previous testimony, including an admission that the information from his research for Prevezon was likely used by Veselnitskaya at the Trump Tower meeting to help her argue against the Magnitsky Act and as her "dirt" on Hillary Clinton. Simpson's research had not been intended to be used in that way, and Simpson had been unaware that Veselnitskaya might have been acting on behalf of the Russian government.
Simpson Testimony #1 – Trump Investigation
Fusion GPS was hired by a Republican client during the 2016 Presidential primaries – and then by a Democratic client after the Republican Convention – to research Donald Trump. The goal was to learn everything about Trump, good and bad, to provide an accurate picture to the client. Early indications in the research were that Trump had connections to organized crime, particularly Russian organized crime. After exhausting public records, Simpson hired former British intelligence officer/Russia specialist Christopher Steele to see what more he could learn from his contacts in Russia. Steele was alarmed when he uncovered an apparent operation by the Kremlin to help Trump win the U.S. Presidential election. Out of a sense of professional duty, Steele reported his findings to the FBI.
More details that further fill out Simpson's previous testimony, including his and Steele's belief that Steele's information was not being acted on by the FBI. This belief raised deep concern between them that there was something questionable happening at the FBI, and caused them to take their information to the press.
Nunes Memo
(Document compiled by the office of U.S. Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA))
The information used to obtain a FISA warrant to monitor communications of Trump Campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page was illegitimate, because it's direct basis and indirect basis were the Steele dossier – a document funded by a partisan source and therefore not credible. Its use indicates a possible campaign within the FBI and intelligence community to undermine Trump.

Tales from a Mountain Town: Take II
Steamboat Pilot & Today staff report
news@steamboatpilot.com
Elevator Going Up: Editor Eugene Buchanan earns his turns on a not-quite backyard bootpack.
FromtheEditor
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — If at first you succeed, try, try again. That's the mantra local author Eugene Buchanan is following, releasing a second edition of his popular "Tales from a Mountain Town" tome just in time for the holidays.
The new book adds 20 new stories, more illustrations.
"A bigger font and everything," Buchanan said. "Plus, it's a special gluten-free version."
That lightheartedness permeates the book, which shares happy-go-lucky stories from 25 years of living in a mountain town, from rescuing dogs via canoe and dealing with the "dreaded berm" to escaping "urban" avalanches, safety kayaking for the, believe it or not, Philadelphia Flyers, counting guest days on his couch and more.
Updatedcover-2019
"Tales from a Mountain Town: Musings from 25 years of Living in the Colorado Rockies" highlights the adventures and misadventures of life in an outdoor playground, with both new stories and those previously printed in a variety of outdoor publications, creating a dynamic, easy-to-read book.
Maybe it was growing up in Boulder, guiding rafts in Alaska or living in towns like Telluride and Steamboat, or maybe it was running an outdoors magazine for 14 years that let him travel the world — whatever it may be, Buchanan's love for the outdoors and the fun it presents shines through in every page, making it the perfect gift for the holidays.
Buchanan enlisted the services of local artist Mack Maschmeier to illustrate many of the stories, adding even more levity to the writing. Published by Recreation Publishing Inc., the book chronicles Buchanan's two and a half decades of living in the Rocky Mountains, with pen and a knack for adventure in tow.
"The stories aren't all about getting after it," Buchanan said. "One's about our roof getting electrified from sliding snow knocking out our electrical main; another's about coaching kids soccer. But they all share living in a mountain town in common."
A resident of Steamboat since moving the offices for Paddler magazine to town in 1992, Buchanan has written about the outdoors for more than 30 years. A lifelong adventurer and member of New York's Explorer's Club, he worked the Beijing Olympics for NBC and has written for ESPN.com, The New York Times, Men's Journal, Sports Afield, Outside, National Geographic Adventure, 5280, Forbes Life, Skiing, Powder and other publications.
Buchanan is also the author of "Brothers on the Bashkaus," "Comrades on the Colca" and "Outdoor Parents, Outdoor Kids," which won the gold medal from the Living Now Book Awards.
"Steamboat has pretty good everything, all out your back door," Buchanan said. "You can ski, fish, climb, bike, hike, kayak, sup and more all during your lunch break. It's also an awesome community of like-minded people who all do the same. It's pretty easy to find someone to do something with."
Even with the epic span of stories and adventures, Buchanan said there's still quite a bit he has yet to do.
"I'm actually pretty soft compared to a lot of folks out there getting after it every day," Buchanan said. "I haven't climbed as much as I'd like to, backpacked enough, summited enough peaks, caught big enough fish, skinned or biked enough, the list goes on. There's always something else to do."
Buchanan said there are a lot of people in the community who inspire him from bike racers to business owners to mountain climbers.
"What they'll share is the zip code they've decided to make their home," he said. "The community here is great."
Sponsored by ahost of local supporters, "Tales From a Mountain Town" is available at such retailers as Off The Beaten Path, BAP, ACE, Lyon's Drug, Backdoor Sports, Ski Haus, Cruisers, Hala Gear Space and more, as well as online on Amazon and eugenebuchanan.com. Or call 970-846-6581 for a signed copy in time for Santa Claus to make his rounds.
"Hopefully, it will help people laugh at the day-to-day predicaments we all often find ourselves in here and appreciate everything we have living here," he said.

The Humboldt Broncos are a Canadian junior "A" ice hockey team from Humboldt, Saskatchewan. Established in 1970, the Broncos play in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.

History

The Broncos were established in 1970 by a group of local organizers. The team was originally affiliated with the Swift Current Broncos of the Western Hockey League, who supplied the team with team name, jerseys and some players. They also had a close affiliation that year with St Peter's College in nearby Muenster. The Broncos originally played at the Leo Parker Arena and then move into the new Elgar Petersen Arena since 1980, which has a capacity of 1,800. The team also won the 2003 and 2008 Royal Bank Cup (Canadian Junior A championship). The team's mascot is a horse named SlapShot. The team colors are green, gold black and white.

The Broncos are the most successful team in SJHL history, having won the league championship ten times, the Anavet Cup/Canalta Cup seven times, and the Royal Bank Cup twice.

In very early years under the guidance of Coach Dr. Terry Henning and GM Dr. Gerry Rooney in 1971–72, the Broncos defeated the Melville Millionaires in 5 games to win their first SJHL Championship and then went on to defeat the Dauphin Kings in 6 games to win the Anavet/Canalta Cup (Sk vs Man); eventually losing in 5 games to the Red Deer Rustlers in the Centennial Cup West Final. In 1972–73, the Broncos again were again Saskatchewan provincial Junior A champions. The Broncos were eliminated by Portage La Prairie in the controversial SK-MB cup playoffs.

The Humboldt Broncos won the league championship in 2007, defeating the Melville Millionaires 4 games to 1. The Broncos lost the Anavet Cup to the MJHL's Selkirk Steelers 4 games to 3. Game 7 was won by the Steelers 4–3 in quadruple overtime. Dean Brockman was voted Coach of the Year in 2007, 2008, and 2009.

The Humboldt Broncos won the league/Royal Bank championship twice, in 2003 and as well in 2008, defeating the Kindersley Klippers 4 games to 3. The Broncos won the Anavet Cup defeating the MJHL's Portage Terriers 4 games to 0. The last two games of the series were shutouts for the Broncos. The Broncos won the Royal Bank Cup against the AJHL's Camrose Kodiaks the final score: 1–0.

The Humboldt Broncos won the league championship in 2009 defeating the Melville Millionaires 4 games to 1. The Broncos won the Anavet Cup defeating the Portage Terriers (MJHL) 4 games to 3.  The last 2 games were won in overtime at Portage. The Broncos lost in the Royal Bank Cup final by a 2–0 score to the Vernon Vipers BCHL.

The Broncos won the SJHL championship in 2011–12 defeating the Weyburn Red Wings in six games. They went on to beat the Portage Terriers (MJHL) in seven games to win the last Anavet Cup Championship before losing to the Woodstock Slammers (MIJHL) on home ice in the 2012 RBC Cup semi-final 4–3 in overtime.

In 2012–13 the Broncos made it back to the SJHL finals where they lost to the Yorkton Terriers in six games losing 4–3 in the sixth game.

After the 2013–14 season longtime head coach Dean Brockman left the team to take a job as an assistant coach with the Saskatoon Blades of the Western Hockey League. The Broncos eventually hired Ryan Smith (who was the head coach of the Selkirk Steelers of the MJHL) as head coach.

In 2014–15, the Broncos lost to the Weyburn Red Wings in four games in the first round. After the season Smith left the team to take an assistant coaching position with the Swift Current Broncos of the Western Hockey League. The Broncos eventually hired Darcy Haugen (who was the head coach of The Peace River Navigators of the Alberta Junior B League and a former assistant coach with the Estevan Bruins) as head coach.

In 2015–16, the Broncos missed the playoffs for the first time since the 1979–80 season, marking the end of a playoff streak longer than the Detroit Red Wings' then active streak of 25 years.

In 2016–17, the Broncos finished 5th overall in the SJHL Standings but were swept by the Nipawin Hawks in the opening round of the SJHL playoffs.

Bus crash

In 2018, the Broncos had advanced to the SJHL semi-finals, but were trailing in the series against the Nipawin Hawks by 3–1 heading into Game 5 on April 6. En route to the game, the Broncos' team bus collided with a semi-truck on Highway 35 near Armley; the local RCMP reported 16 fatalities as a result of the accident, and the game was cancelled. The victims included 10 players, two coaches, a statistician, a broadcaster, the bus driver, and an athletic therapist. The remaining passengers, 13 players, received injuries, most of them serious. The president of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, Bill Chow, has described the incident as tragic, heart-breaking, the league's "worst nightmare."

In December 2018, the Broncos were named the Canadian Newsmaker of the Year by the Canadian Press.

In their first game of the 2018–19 season following the crash, the Broncos lost to the team they had been playing in the finals, the Nipawin Hawks, by a score of 2–1. The game had pre-game and post-game ceremonies for all members involved in the crash. The Broncos qualified for the playoffs that season, but were eliminated in the second round.

The Broncos were in a position to qualify for the playoffs in the 2019–20 season, but the remainder of the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Kylie Jenner Height, Weight, Age, Relationship, Career, Award and Net Worth 2019
June 11, 2019 by USARems

Weight: 60 kg (132 pounds)
In November 2011, 'usmagazine.com' reported that the then 14-year-old Kylie Jenner was dating Australian pop singer Cody Simpson, who was 7 months older than her. The two first met at 'Breaking Dawn: Part 1' premiere in Hollywood.
She began dating rapper, Tyga, in September 2014, following which she appeared in some of his music videos. They went through a rough patch in November 2015, but reconciled soon after; however, they eventually separated in March 2017.
The couple made news in August 2015 when he gifted her $260,000 white Ferrari 458 convertible on her 18th birthday. She received a Mercedes-Benz Maybach from him on her next birthday.
She was linked to rapper PartyNextDoor in 2016 after she appeared in one of his music videos. The same year, she was seen cozying up with rapper Ty Dolla Sign at Nylon & BCB Generation Young Hollywood Party.
Her career as a model started with Sears clothing line 'Crush Your Style' while she has also featured on the covers of several magazines like the OK! Magazine, Teen Vogue, etc. Similar to her sister, Kylie has also been modeling bikinis for Australian swim wear designer White Sands.
