Are Man United tactics RUINING Rooney?
August 24, 2015 Admin	1 Comment
It was probably inevitable that Wayne Rooney would come in for criticism again this week, after Manchester United failed to score as we were held to a surprise draw at home by the struggling Newcastle United of Steve McClaren. Not everyone, however, blames the England captain for his recent problems.
It would be interesting to see what people were saying, or even how Rooney played for the rest of the game, if that borderline offside decision went for us rather than against us, but it didn´t and after that Rooney struggled to influence the game.
On the Sky Sports Sunday Supplement yesterday, football journalist Neil Custis looked at things a different way and suggested that Rooney´s form was being ruined by the way that Louis van Gaal has Man United playing. The slow and patient build up from the back as well as the lack of pace and support around the centre forward is really not suited to Rooney´s abilities.
He also claims, with good reason, that the many different roles that our captain has been asked to fill in recent years would inevitably cause him to take some time to feel comfortable in his latest pòsition.
Custis said, "Everyone is criticising Rooney, but if you look at how United play, Rooney is being hung out to dry.
"I feel sorry for Rooney. The ball does not come out from the back quickly enough, it is slow, it is ponderous, and any defence who is organised can see it all coming.
"At the moment he is going out on the pitch and trying to do all four jobs. I don't think Rooney just wanders. If you look at Robin van Persie in the last two years, he didn't come looking for the ball and didn't affect the game in any way.
"Rooney can play as a No 9, but not if there are two centre-backs on him and he has no support.
"His head must be spinning. Sir Alex Ferguson played him out wide, Van Gaal this time last year told him that he is not good enough to be a No 9, so you'll have to reinvent yourself as a midfielder.
"He then became a No 10 and a deep-lying playmaker. Now he is being told he is a No 9."
Do you agree with this and if so how can van Gaal get the best from Rooney? If not, what is his best position and who should be our centre forward?

Existirá algo mais confortável para usarmos neste tempo frio que já se começa a sentir que os botas altas rasas? Eu também acho que não!!
Is there anything more comfy to wear in this cold weather that we are starting to have than a knee high boots? I don't think either!!
Lovely outfit! That bag! I love it !!


The primary teeth or "baby teeth" generally erupt through six mounths after birth. Firstly, two lower and two upper teeth erupt. When the baby is 3 years old, a full set of 20 primary teeth are completed.
Because all of these, primary teeth should be kept clean and healthy so that a child can remain free of cavities and oral pain. Infection from decayed primary teeth can damage permanent teeth developing under them.
After each feeding you should wipe your child's gums with a clean gauze pad or a wet washcloth. When the first primary tooth comes, you can begin brushing your child's teeth with a little water. After 2 years old, you can brushing your child's teeth with only a pea-sized amount of floride toothpaste. Children should be taught to spit out remaining toothpaste and rinse with water after brushing.
The disease of "early childhood caries" or "baby bottle caries" is the presence of 1 or more decayed, missing or filled tooth surfaces in any primary tooth in a child 71 mounths of age or younger than 3 years of age. it's a very common bacterial infection.
ECC is most often occurs in the upper front teeth. There are many factors which can cause tooth decay. One common cause is the frequent, prolonged exposure of the baby's teeth to drinks that contain sugar.
Frequent bottle feeding at night, and expended and repetitive use of no spill training cup are associated with ECC.
When your child's teeth come in, brush them gently with a child-size toothbrush and water. Be sure to consult with your child's dentist or physician if you are considering using fluoride toothpaste before age 3.
Fluoride that is absorbed by your body is used by the cells that build your teeth to make stronger enamel.
Flouride is applied to the outside of the enamel, makes the crystals that form enamel more durable. Tooth enamel crystals that have fluoride are much more resistant to acid. They are less likely to breakdown and cause the tooth surface to become porous.
The fluoride help make the crystals in tooth enamel stronger. Always use a toothpaste with fluoride.
Space maintainers are usually fitted in children when they have lost primary teeth early because of caries or injury. The space left from losing this tooth needs to be held open for the permanent tooth to erupt in the correct position.

Southern Russian Town Becomes Focus Of Ethnic Tensions
July 10, 2013 16:02 GMT
By Robert Coalson
Ethnic Tensions High In Central Russia After Deadly Scuffle
Tensions continue to smolder in the southern Russian town of Pugachyov, days after a demobilized paratrooper was stabbed to death by an ethnic Chechen teenager.
Locals have demonstrated off and on since the stabbing on the night of July 6-7, loudly calling for ethnic Chechens who are not registered locally and who do not have permanent jobs to be evicted from the town.
Police have largely contained the demonstrations, preventing locals from incinerating the cafe near where the stabbing occurred -- a favorite hangout of the Chechen community -- and from occupying the local administration building. However, protesters have periodically blocked the highway between the cities of Saratov and Volgograd, and they insist they will continue to push for their demand.
The tensions were sparked when 20-year-old Ruslan Morzhanov -- a half-Tatar, half-Russian recently demobilized paratrooper -- was stabbed to death in a late-night altercation. Police have detained a 16-year-old ethnic Chechen who they say has confessed to the killing. According to many reports, both men were drunk at the time and were arguing about a woman.
After Morzhanov's funeral on July 8, several hundred locals headed to a predominantly Chechen neighborhood and a street brawl ensued.
Authorities have urged calm and stressed that the incident was not ethnically motivated. Morzhanov's father has blamed the incident on "vodka and drunkenness," noting that Morzhanov has always had many friends in all of Pugachyov's ethnic communities.
Nonetheless, the latest incident has reminded locals that in the same cafe in 2010, an ethnic Russian named Nikolai Beshnyakov was stabbed to death. Beslan Mudayev, a displaced Chechen, was convicted in that case and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
'Any Small Spark'
Pugachyov is a town of some 40,000 people in a region sandwiched between the volatile North Caucasus region, Russia's predominantly Muslim republic of Tatarstan, and western Kazakhstan. The town is predominantly ethnic Russian, but also home to some 3,500 ethnic Tatars and about 100 Chechens.
Many locals and other observers believe Morzhanov's killing is being exploited by outsiders who see people from the Caucasus and Central Asia as a threat to ethnic Russians. Rustam Gilmutdinov, an ethnic Tatar and imam in Pugachyov, told RFE/RL that "there were provocateurs" ready to use "any small spark" to create a larger conflict in the town's already tense situation.
Russian law enforcement agents detain a demonstrator during a protest triggered by the murder of a local resident by an ethnic Chechen in the southern town of Pugachyov.
Officials locally and in Moscow have said they will investigate both the original incident and the ensuing protests.
Vera Alperovich is an analyst with the Sova Center, which monitors ethnic relations in Russia. She maintains that similar incidents happen regularly throughout the country -- and are exploited by nationalists for their own ends.
"Such incidents happen two or three times a month, in reality," she says. "I follow the news reports of the [Russian] nationalists and they never miss a conflict of this type. They try to emphasize them and publicize them and report on them. For them, these conflicts are signs that an interethnic war is beginning, a war that they say must happen in Russia, which they are eagerly awaiting."
Alperovich suggests that, to a large degree, this is a result of the Russian government's failure to implement any policies aimed at fostering an overarching identity for all citizens of the Russian Federation. According to her, that failure has allowed deep divisions to fester.
She says that in the absence of an all-embracing civic identity, "there is a natural, customary tendency to relate to one's traditional ethnic identity -- and then we begin to see the mechanisms of xenophobia and conflict, which particularly can be seen in small towns where there are tight communities and everything happens in plain sight."
The recent events in Pugachyov have inevitably brought to mind a similar incident in the city of Kondopoga in 2006. At that time, two ethnic Russians were killed and several others injured in a brawl with ethnic Chechens at a local restaurant.
After the funeral of the victims, locals rioted in a bid for vigilante justice. Russian nationalists from Moscow flocked to the town and called on officials to resettle Chechens out of the area, and it took weeks for the tensions to die down.
Social Breakdown?
Although such conflicts involve ethnic groups from across the Caucasus and Central Asia, the two wars in Chechnya over the last 20 years and the continuing insurgency in the North Caucasus have often placed Chechens at the center of Russia's ethnic conflicts.
"These days, of course, Chechens are a pretty vulnerable part of Russian society," says lawyer Abusupyan Gaitayev, an ethnic Chechen. "Because of the consequences of the Chechen wars, these conflicts created so many fears in Russian society toward Chechens. Any conflict with the participation of a Chechen is not seen as a conflict between individuals. It is taken as a conflict between enemies -- and this enmity runs rather deep."
Valentina Uzunova, a researcher with the Ethnography Institute in St. Petersburg, sees an even more fundamental problem underlying the tensions seen in Pugachyov and elsewhere. She worries about a basic breakdown in social relations throughout Russian society -- affecting everything from relations among generations, classes, and social groups.
She maintains that she sees evidence of such a breakdown on a daily basis in reports of horrific incidents that demonstrate an alarming disregard for human life. In her view, this leads to situations where a dispute over a girl can easily end in a fatal stabbing.
"There is no empathy," she says. "And without a feeling of empathy, trust, sympathy, and compassion for one another, normal human relations are impossible."

Many theaters, particularly LORT theatres, produce a lot of new works (some even exclusively).
For a Production Manager, there are some major differences in the planning and managing of new works vs. pre-existing shows that we don't always fully appreciate. Failing to take these differences into account can have some pretty dire ramifications once you're in the middle of rehearsal and tech. Let's look at a few key things to keep in mind.
This one might sound obvious, but let's dig a little deeper. Changes will happen with every show, pre-existing or not. But the volume of changes for a new play can be extreme. Every new work will have substantial rewrites. With every rewrite comes new sets and props to build, new numbers to rehearse, maybe even new characters to add!
Set aside a much larger portion of your budget for changes (40%-50% in some cases) than you normally would.
Build flexibility into your calendar, just like you do your budget (extra tech days, notes calls, and previews).
Hire additional crew beyond what you'd normally need. They'll be coming in for extra calls, and you don't want the first one to send them into OT.
Sit down with each of your department heads. Map out with them the things that are most likely to change so they're prepared to implement them if (when!) they occur.
Make sure your venue budget includes extra time in rehearsal rooms. You never know when the cast will need to go back in to rehearse a new number or scene.
One of our most important jobs as Production Management is setting proper expectations so everyone knows what resources they have to work with (time, people, money, etc). We've all seen the results of a manager blindly saying "Yes" to every request and then putting the burden on others to deliver.
If you've planned properly in each department for the expectation of change, coming through at the last minute will be much easier and less painful. But every show has fixed resources and as the PM you need to understand when you're getting close to those limits.
Don't automatically agree to every new request. Understand the time and effort you're asking of your crew, designers, and those around you.
Don't be afraid to draw the line and say no to some things.
Be clear, honest, and consistent with time and budget constraints.
Understand that your expectations are the ones that sometimes have to shift.
It's important to keep an open mind throughout the process. In new works, figuring out new ideas and ways of realizing the creative team's vision is a huge and exciting part of the process. What seems impossible and ridiculous today may end up as the show's defining element (landing a helicopter on a stage, anyone?).
Most shows have a trajectory that extends pasts the current production. It's important to understand what these long-term goals are. With new plays, I guarantee the creators will have ideas in mind for next steps. Sit down with them and find out what they are. You'll need to help them make strong decisions for the current production without sacrificing iterations to come.
The ultimate visions of the design team and the director might be better realized in a later production, once the script and score are more solid. These types of conversations can be difficult to navigate as the business and artistic elements can sometimes conflict with each other.
For example, let's say you're managing a new play in a very large theatre, but it's slated to start touring immediately after you close. Maybe you don't design to fill the entire space because you know the show will be playing in smaller houses in the very near future.
Producing new plays is not an easy task. Hard decisions have to be made at every step of the way. The more forethought you can put into the process, the smoother things will go (and the better you'll look!). Break a leg!

Biologists watch speciation in a laboratory flask
by University of California - San Diego
Molecular models of the two receptors the virus evolved to specialize on. Credit: Justin Meyer, UC San Diego
Biologists have discovered that the evolution of a new species can occur rapidly enough for them to observe the process in a simple laboratory flask.
In a month-long experiment using a virus harmless to humans, biologists working at the University of California San Diego and at Michigan State University documented the evolution of a virus into two incipient species—a process known as speciation that Charles Darwin proposed to explain the branching in the tree of life, where one species splits into two distinct species during evolution.
"Many theories have been proposed to explain speciation, and they have been tested through analyzing the characteristics of fossils, genomes, and natural populations of plants and animals," said Justin Meyer, an assistant professor of biology at UC San Diego and the first author of a study that will be published in the December 9 issue of Science. "However, speciation has been notoriously difficult to thoroughly investigate because it happens too slowly to directly observe. Without direct evidence for speciation, some people have doubted the importance of evolution and Darwin's theory of natural selection."
Meyer's study, which also appeared last week in an early online edition of Science, began while he was a doctoral student at Michigan State University, working in the laboratory of Richard Lenski, a professor of microbial ecology there who pioneered the use of microorganisms to study the dynamics of long-term evolution.
"Even though we set out to study speciation in the lab, I was surprised it happened so fast," said Lenski, a co-author of the study. "Yet the deeper Justin dug into things—from how the viruses infected different hosts to their DNA sequences—the stronger the evidence became that we really were seeing the early stages of speciation."
"With these experiments, no one can doubt whether speciation occurs," Meyer added. "More importantly, we now have an experimental system to test many previously untestable ideas about the process."
To conduct their experiment, Meyer, Lenski and their colleagues cultured a virus—known as "bacteriophage lambda"—capable of infecting E. coli bacteria using two receptors, molecules on the outside of the cell wall that viruses use to attach themselves and then infect cells.
When the biologists supplied the virus with two types of cells that varied in their receptors, the virus evolved into two new species, one specialized on each receptor type.
"The virus we started the experiment with, the one with the nondiscriminatory appetite, went extinct. During the process of speciation, it was replaced by its more evolved descendants with a more refined palette," explained Meyer.
Why did the new viruses take over?
"The answer is as simple as the old expression, 'a jack of all trades is a master of none'," explained Meyer. "The specialized viruses were much better at infecting through their preferred receptor and blocked their 'jack of all trades' ancestor from infecting cells and reproducing. The survival of the fittest led to the emergence of two new specialized viruses."
Meyers's study was conducted over six years in two separate labs. The first experiments were performed at Michigan State, supported in part by BEACON, the National Science Foundation's Center for the Study of Evolution in Action, and the analyses were completed at UC San Diego.
Researchers show how new viruses evolve, and in some cases, become deadly

Chargers start free agency by looking inward

PUBLISHED: March 6, 2017 at 11:18 p.m. | UPDATED: August 28, 2017 at 5:54 a.m.
The Chargers might have the best five-win roster in NFL.
This is not the type of sales pitch that will help fill a new stadium, even if the StubHub Center seats just 30,000 fans. But it's an encouraging thought for a team that saw its 2016 campaign marred by injuries and close losses: Their final record belied their talent.
That will help guide the Chargers as they enter free agency, which officially starts Thursday at 4 p.m. ET after two days of legal tampering — which allows teams to negotiate with agents, but not agree to contracts. General Manager Tom Telesco might not have the spending power to go after the biggest names on the market, but his team has a solid enough foundation that major signings aren't imperative.
"We think we're in a pretty good spot," he said last week at the NFL combine. "There's always changes to be made. … We've got time in the offseason to make some moves if we have to. Just cap wise, we can get done what we need to get done."
With approximately $6 million in cap space, here are some priorities for the Chargers as they navigate free agency.
Player retention
Melvin Ingram would've been one of the top free agents available this offseason, but the Chargers placed a franchise tag on the dynamic pass rusher and are working to keep him on a long-term deal. Unless the latter scenario happens, Ingram's services will cost just over $14 million — leaving the aforementioned $6 million.
The team needs to decide how much of that to dedicate toward retaining its own players. They are already in discussions with running back Danny Woodhead, who tore his ACL in September but has scored 18 touchdowns from scrimmage in 37 games as a Charger. New head coach Anthony Lynn was Woodhead's position coach with the Jets in 2009, so he should already have ideas on how to best use the back to complement Melvin Gordon — who recently made his first Pro Bowl.
Woodhead turned 32 in January, but doesn't have the mileage of many backs his age; the Nebraska native only has 770 career touches, an average of less than 8.3 per game.
"We think he's a valuable part of our offense," Telesco said.
Jahleel Addae is another pending free agent the Chargers might want to hold on to. Safety is one of the team's most pressing needs, and while Addae has been scrutinized for his low hits, he is still an effective defender who might not demand a premium price.
The Chargers have a top-end quarterback in Philip Rivers, but elite passers still need protection — particularly after they've turned 35 years old. And besides center Matt Slauson, the team could stand to upgrade at just about every spot on the offensive line.
They could opt to restructure contracts with guard D.J. Fluker or left tackle King Dunlap, who are due over $8 million and $5 million in 2017, respectively. The former has been underwhelming as a 2013 first-round draft pick, while the latter has missed 13 games over the last two seasons.
Releasing one or both would give the Chargers more flexibility to pursue other free agents, but this isn't a particularly strong year for offensive linemen. The best tackle available is Andrew Whitworth, a three-time Pro Bowler who just turned 35 years old. Given their financial limitations, however, the Chargers might be better off targeting younger linemen, such as 27-year-old Kelvin Beachum.
Addae could return, but this offseason also presents a chance for the Chargers to tweak their defense to Gus Bradley's liking. The defensive coordinator is familiar with safety Dwight Lowery, who he coached for a season in Jacksonville, but the veteran just turned 31 years old.
If the Chargers want to swing big, they can clear room and make a run at Tony Jefferson, the best strong safety on the market. The San Diego native who would fit well next to cornerbacks Casey Hayward — who became a Pro Bowler after signing a three-year, $15 million deal — and Jason Verrett, who tore his ACL last October.
Brandon Flowers' future could also impact the Chargers' plans. The veteran nickel corner has been diagnosed with four concussions in three seasons, including two last fall. If he is released (or retires), the team could look at someone like Nickell Robey-Coleman, whom the Bills released on Monday.

Newcastle Jets fought back from a goal down to beat Melbourne City as Riley McGree's remarkable strike stole the show.
Riley McGree's stunning strike inspired Newcastle Jets to come from a goal down to book their place in the A-League Grand Final with a 2-1 victory over Melbourne City on Friday.
The teenager sparked the comeback with a stunning equaliser for the Jets, who finished bottom of the table last season but now stand one win away from securing the title.
Bruno Fornaroli gave Melbourne a 13th-minute lead at the McDonald Jones Stadium, albeit his scuffed finish from a low cross took a deflection off defender Nikolai Topor-Stanley before reaching the net.
However, Newcastle levelled in spectacular fashion in the second half, McGree producing a scorpion kick from the edge of the penalty area.
With Ronald Vargas' chipped pass behind his forward run, the 19-year-old instinctively flicked out his right foot behind him, sending the ball looping over stranded goalkeeper Dean Bouzanis.
Jason Hoffman scored the winner with 15 minutes remaining, capitalising on Osama Malik's poor first touch to fire home a first-time finish with his left foot.
Newcastle will face either reigning champions Sydney FC or Melbourne Victory – who meet on Saturday – in the Grand Final.


One of our participants in Saturday's KAPOW! was battling particularly tough circumstances as she crossed the finish line. Sonya has spent some time at St Wilfrid's as a Wellbeing patient, having been diagnosed with lung cancer in 2016.
A pillar of her local sports team, the amazing Seaford Rugby Football club - Ladies, she has supported her friends and community for years - her nickname is 'Nana' as her wisdom and support have been invaluable for years.
The Club have supported her with fundraisers for the hospice before but today they put in a huge effort and took Sonya through the whole KAPOW course - wheelchair and all!
We couldn't be more proud to see this amazing support for a patient and we're so glad that Sonya and the team are still doing so much to support others.
Sonya explained a bit more about her condition on her JustGiving page.
'On the 10th December 2016 I was taken to A and E with extreme stomach pains which I thought we're related to me being ceoliac. After hours of tests I was told I had terminal lung cancer which had also spread to my liver and spine. A numbness washed over me but I had to ask the question....how long have I got? The consultant replied "Statistically, you may not see next Christmas."
In that instant i knew my whole world would be turned upside down and my first sad thought was that I wasn't going to be around for my future grandchildren. I have had good and bad days physically, emotionally and mentally. I won't be able to play rugby ever again but I am still going to get my kit on and get on that pitch and kick that bloody cancer into touch!


The term "wild west" conjures many things in the mind—criminal outlaws like Billy the Kid or Jesse James, the California Gold Rush, or the folklore associated with the American frontier. We welcome you to browse our Wild West newspaper inventory or learn more about American Wild West newspapers at our main Wild West page.
BISBEE EVENING MINER, Arizona (Territory), May 8, 1907 A territorial newspaper from just above the border with Mexico, as Arizona did not join the Union until 1912. Among the front page headlines: "SAN FRANCISCO IS QUIET AFTER YESTERDAY'S RIOT" "Six Story Building Collapses In Omaha" & much more.
SAN DIEGO DAILY UNION, San Diego CA, November 1, 1873.
At one time this was a large mining town, larger than San Francisco. Now it is a ghost town and a much visited state park. This issue was published from during its hay-day.
BOSTON EVENING TRANSCRIPT, July 22, 1881 The ftpg. has a brief item under; "New Mexico" a subhead: "Billy the Kid" noting: "The principal towns of New Mexico are raising funds for Patsey (sic) Garrett for services to the Territory in killing 'Billy the Kid'. "
Complete in 8 pages, a few archival mends inside, good condition.
MARYSVILLE DAILY APPEAL, California, May 31, 1873 The front page has over 2 1/2 columns taken up with reports on the Modoc Indian War with the heading; "The Lava Beds" and subheads: "Their History, Location and Character--How They Look from the Signal Station--Among the Caves--View of Captain Jack's Lair".
THE DAILY NEWS, Santa Barbara, California, July 20, 1875 Uncommon from this famous town, and a volume 1 issue. Various news & ads of the day, four pages, great condition. "#88" inked in the upper corner.
GUNNISON REVIEW-PRESS, Colorado, Feb. 12, 1884 An uncommon title from this boom mining town in the southwestern quadrant of Colorado tucked in a valley amidst the Rocky Mountains. Gunnison boomed in the late 1870's and early 1880's and was once the home of Wyatt Earp and "Texas Jack". Today there are some 5500 residents of Gunnison.
DAILY OREGON HERALD, Portland, Nov. 13, 1872 An early issue from the Northwest just 13 years after gaining statehood. Various news of the day from both the area and the nation, with a great wealth of advertisements, many of which are illustrated.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, nice condition.
ARIZONA DAILY GAZETTE, Phoenix, Nov. 9, 1893 This issue is from the Arizona Territory, 19 years before it joined the Union. Varied news reports both local & national with a nice wealth of ads as well, many of which are illustrated.
Among the articles: "A Peculiar Find - A Box Full of Dynamite Found" Eight pages, nice condition.
ARIZONA GAZETTE, Phoenix, Sept. 17, 1906 Perhaps not unexpected from territorial Arizona (statehood in 1912) but later than one would expect: "NAVAJO INDIANS ON A RAMPAGE; LEAVE NEW MEXICO RESERVATION RAID CATTLE, TERRORIZE THE PEOPLE" .
Eight pages, irregular at the blank spine, good condition.
This is a small town north of the San Francisco Bay area. The front page features a chapter from the serialized "Treasure Island, by Robert L. Stevenson", with a front page illustration from the book as well. It first appeared in book form just 5 years previous.
MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAL, Tennessee, Sept. 17, 1875 The top of a ftpg. middle column has heads: "THE INDIANS" "Progress f the Work o the Commissioners at Red Cloud Agency--Reward for Gallant Service" "A Cheyenne Wants a Dead Commissioner--The Threat Creates Considerable Excitement". The text takes nearly an entire column.
Quite early from Washington, and 16 years before it became a state! Half of the front page is taken up with ads including one for the "Seattle Brewery". with news on pages 1 & 2.
The subtitle in the masthead notes: "Devoted To The Leading Interests of California and the Pacific Coast". The content is varied and includes a wide range of ads as well.
* Jesse James killed ?
A very rare title from this town very high in the mountains near the Nevada border. Today it is a tourist-focused community. Gregory (Union List of American Serials) notes that only two institutions have ANY issues of this title, one of which has this issue.
This issue is from the Arizona Territory, 19 years before it joined the Union. Varied news reports both local & national with a nice wealth of ads as well, many of which are illustrated.
Actually a territorial newspaper as New Mexico did not become a state until 1912. Eight pages, typical news & ads of the day, very nice condition.
THE RIVER FALLS JOURNAL, Wisconsin, May 4, 1882 Page 3 has: "Jesse James As A Fact" is not kind to him, including: "...that the killing of Jesse James has given occasion for a not unexpected flood of mawkish sentimentality that cannot but be very disgusting...Every act in his career contributes to one unvarying record of cold selfishness, of murderous brutality...".
A quite scarce title, in fact the first we have discovered. This lasted but two years before merging with the Times to become the "Farmington Times-Hustler". "Union List Of Serials" notes that no institution in the country has any issues from this year.
ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT, May 22, 1875 Near the top of the back pagte is; "THREE TO ONE" "Western Muscle Yields to Red Stocking Skill" "Sweazy's Pony Team Achieves a Brilliant Victory" which is a quite lengthy & detailed baseball game report taking an entire column.
Many years ago we had a reasonable inventory of this title, but today this is one of our last. And it is a volume one issue from the Territory of Arizona as it did not become a state until 1912.
Actually a territorial newspaper as New Mexico did not become a state until 1912. We've offered a number of titles from Albuquerque but this (and a few others) is the first of this title to come into our inventory.

Різдва Богородиці Козельщинський жіночий монастир — чинний жіночий монастир УПЦ МП.

Історія
Заснований біля каплиці, в якій було встановлено ікону Козельщинської Богоматері, яка допомогла зцілитися доньці графів Капністів — володарів маєтку в с. Козельщині.

Каплицю збудовано у 1881 році. Поруч 1881—1883 зведено храм Різдва Пресвятої Богородиці, відкрито лікарню й аптеку.

1885 Синод дозволив заснувати православну громаду.

1886 прибули перші 20 жінок на чолі з монахинею Золотоніського Красногірського монастиря Олімпіадою.

1887 споруджено «странноприимный дом», будинок причту.

1888 засновано школу живопису, першим вчителем якої був Г.М. Глущенко; двокласну церковнопарафіяльну школу для дівчат, а згодом для хлопчиків.

1891 освячено муровану Преображенську церкву, а парафію перетворено на монастир.

1900—1906 за проєктом архітектора С.В. Носова зведено собор Різдва Богородиці.

Під час російсько-японської війни 1904—1905 при монастирі діяв лазарет.

1929 року за наказом більшовицької влади монастир був закритий. У соборі влаштували театр, у монастирських будівлях розташували лікарню, навчальні заклади та різні установи й організації. Ікону Божої Матері черниці таємно вивезли, довго переховували у різних місцях у надійних людей. Останню ігуменю монастиря Олімпіаду (Вербицьку), яка переховувалася у Полтаві, заарештували 1937 року і після страшних катувань розстріляли.[3]

Реабілітована Полтавською обласною прокуратурою 22 червня1990 року.  18 квітня 2008 року засіданням Св. Синоду УПЦ колишня ігуменя Козельщинського монастиря Олімпіада ІІ була причислена до лику місцевошанованих святих. Вшанування пам"яті —2 червня, в день її народження.

1942 під час німецької окупації монастир відновив діяльність.

У 1949 знову закритий радянською владою, 107 черниць і послушниць переведено до Лебедина.

1990 року храм Різдва Пресвятої Богородиці повернули православній громаді.

1992 року обитель очолила ігуменя Іраїда (Кравцова). Повернули «з підпілля» образ Козельщанської Богоматері. 22 лютого 1993 року його виставили для поклоніння у Свято-Троїцькій церкві Кременчука, а наступного дня чудодійна ікона повернулася у рідну обитель.

William Andrew Michael Junior Nylander Altelius (ur. 1 maja 1996 w Calgary, Alberta, Kanada) – szwedzki hokeista, reprezentant Szwecji.

Hokeistami zostali także jego ojciec Michael (ur. 1972), wujkowie Peter (ur. 1976) i Thommy (ur. 1989) oraz brat Alexander (ur. 1998).

Kariera klubowa

Urodził się w kanadyjskim mieście Calgary, gdzie jego ojciec Michael Nylander był wówczas zawodnikiem drużyny hokejowej Calgary Flames w północnoamerykańskich rozgrywkach NHL. William Nylander Altelius był wychowankiem amerykańskiego klubu Chicago Mission (również z racji ówczesnej gry ojca w Chicago, w miejscowej drużynie Chicago Blackhawks). Od 2008 do 2011 występował w ligach juniorskich w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Od 2011 występował w szwedzkich rozgrywkach juniorskich, kolejno do lat 16, do lat 18 i do lat 20 grając w ramach klubu Södertälje SK. W 2012 został wybrany w drafcie do amerykańskiej ligi USHL z numerem 85 w rundzie 6 przez klub Chicago Steel. W styczniu 2013 podpisał dwuletni kontrakt z klubem Södertälje SK. W jego barwach w trakcie sezonu 2012/2013 w dniu 12 lutego 2013 w wieku niespełna 17 lat zadebiutował w seniorskich drugoligowych rozgrywkach w Szwecji, Allsvenskan (wystąpił w ataku razem ze swoim wówczas 40-letnim ojcem Michaelem oraz Francuzem Damienem Fleury; w tymże meczu przeciw zespołowi Leksands IF zaliczył asystę). Dwa dni później, 14 lutego strzelił swojego pierwszego gola w lidze Allsvenskan w spotkaniu z Örebro HK. Po zakończeniu sezonu opuścił klub Södertälje wraz z końcem maja 2013.

26 maja 2013 w KHL Junior Draft z 2013 do rozgrywek rosyjskich KHL został wybrany przez klub Awangard Omsk z numerem 60 w rundzie drugiej. W sierpniu 2013 został zawodnikiem MODO i jednocześnie został wypożyczony czasowo do klubu Rögle w lidze Allsvenskan, gdzie rozegrał część sezonu 2013/2014 (18 spotkań), po czym pod koniec grudnia 2014 został wypożyczony do macierzystego Södertälje (także w Allsvenskan), w barwach którego rozegrał dalszą część tego sezonu (17 spotkań). Ponadto w wieku 18 lat w barwach drużyny MODO zadebiutował w najwyższej - seniorskiej - klasie rozgrywkowej w Szwecji, Svenska hockeyligan (SHL) edycji 2013/2014, w meczu przeciw Örebro HK 12 listopada 2013 (w tym meczu zaliczył asystę). Łącznie w sezonie 2013/2014 ligi SHL rozegrał 22 mecze, strzelając jednego gola (1 lutego 2014 w meczu z AIK). Pod koniec tego sezonu występował jeszcze w fazie play-off w juniorskich drużynach tego klubu do lat 18 i do lat 20.

W 2014 został wybrany w drafcie do kanadyjskich juniorskich rozgrywek CHL przez klub Mississauga Steelheads z ligi OHL z numerem 13 w rundzie pierwszej. 28 czerwca 2014 w drafcie NHL z 2014 został wybrany przez kanadyjski klub Toronto Maple Leafs z numerem 8 w rundzie pierwszej, jednocześnie jako drugi Europejczyk w kolejności (wcześniej w rankingu skautów był rozstawiony jako drugi spośród zawodników z lig europejskich). W sierpniu 2014 podpisał z tym klubem trzyletni kontrakt wstępny. W październiku 2014 władze klubu z Toronto zdecydowały, że William Nylander nie będzie na razie występował w elitarnych rozgrywkach NHL, po czym został oddelegowany z klubu i wypożyczony do szwedzkiego MODO w lidze SHL. W jego barwach rozpoczął występy w sezonie Svenska hockeyligan (2014/2015). W styczniu 2015 został zawodnikiem Toronto Marlies, zespołu farmerskiego podległego Toronto Maple Leafs w lidze AHL. W trakcie sezonu NHL (2015/2016) został przekazany do Toronto Maple Leafs. 1 grudnia 2018 ogłoszono, że przedłużył kontrakt z klubem o sześć lat.

Kariera reprezentacyjna
Został reprezentantem Szwecji. W listopadzie 2012 światowa federacja hokejowa IIHF wydała zgodę na występy Williama Nylandera Alteliusa w barwach Szwecji. Grał w kadrach juniorskich kraju do lat 16, do lat 17, do lat 18 i do lat 20. Uczestniczył w turniejach mistrzostw świata do lat 17 w 2013, mistrzostw świata do lat 18 edycji 2013, 2014, mistrzostw świata do lat 20 edycji 2015, 2016.

William Saxey or Saxei ( – 1612) was an English-born judge in Ireland of the late Elizabethan and early Stuart era. He was an unpopular and controversial figure with a reputation for corruption and misanthropy.

Early career

He was born in Bristol around 1550. Not much is known about his family; he may have been a son of Robert Saxey, a wealthy merchant of the town who was Mayor of Bristol in 1557. He entered Staple Inn, and then Gray's Inn in 1576. His practice at the English Bar was extremely lucrative: he was said to make £500 a year, a very large sum for the time, although he was probably not much of a lawyer, judging by the later attacks on him for his deficient knowledge of the law.

A judge in Ireland

In 1594 he was sent to Ireland as Chief Justice of Munster on the death of Jesse Smythes. Queen Elizabeth I, in a rare error of judgement, called him "a person well versed in the laws of this realm and of good integrity of life".He is next heard of holding an inquiry at Mallow  into the right of the O'Callaghan family to hold their Cork estates.

From the very beginning of his career in Ireland, he faced accusations of corruption, and in 1596 the Court of Castle Chamber (the Irish equivalent of Star Chamber) reprimanded him severely for "corrupt, violent and intemperate proceedings". To judge from a later case (which he heard when he was on the verge of retirement), it seems that the practice most complained of was his putting the wrong party in possession of lands (presumably in return for a bribe) in defiance of the verdict of the judges of assize.

The Privy Council of Ireland took the unusual step of writing to the English Government, condemning Saxey for going to England without leave, and attacking him as a man deficient in legal knowledge (despite his apparent success at the English Bar). Rather illogically in view of their rebuke about his absence from Ireland, they asked that he be kept in England and "be no more returned to his office here, he being a person who has incurred so general a mislike". Saxey asked that any complaints against him be heard in England, as he could not get a fair hearing in Ireland, but no further proceedings seem to have been taken against him.

Later career

Saxey did return to Ireland, despite the Irish Council's heartfelt wish to be rid of him, but in 1598 he fled headlong back to England, where he wrote in graphic detail about his experiences during the Nine Years War. His enemies claimed that he had known in advance about the coming troubles, but concealed the truth. There seems to be no evidence to support such an implausible charge, which probably just reflects his general unpopularity. He complained to Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury, who seems to have been sympathetic to him, that he was deprived alike of public office and private practice. He bitterly criticised the misgovernment of Ireland. In 1599 he returned to Ireland again, in the company of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, and was appointed a judge of the King's Bench. Despite widespread indignation he refused to step down from his office of Chief Justice of Munster, as his predecessor Sir Nicholas Walsh had done in similar circumstances. The Queen issued an order in 1600 that both the justices of the Court of Munster, Saxey and  James Gould, must remain in continual attendance on the Lord President of Munster "being of special trust appointed to his Council". This was probably an effort to force Saxey to choose between the two offices. In the circumstances, it was clearly impossible for him to attend court in Dublin and in Munster at the same time, but he refused to appoint a deputy to his place on the King's Bench and insisted on taking the fees for both offices. He did make some constructive suggestions about how to end the Rebellion, such as the stationing of a strong garrison at Kilmallock.

In 1603 he was given responsibility for quelling the political uprisings in several towns in Munster which broke out on the death of Elizabeth I, when the municipal authorities refused to proclaim James I as King. His threat to have anyone who refused to proclaim the King arrested had no effect, as the municipal authorities denied that he had the power of arrest. The Crown decided to make an example of some of the Cork city fathers, and William Meade, the Recorder of Cork, was tried for treason at Youghal. Saxey sat as Chief Justice of Munster, with the Lord President of Munster and other senior judges also sitting on the bench. Despite the formidable composition of the tribunal the jury refused to convict. The acquittal of Meade was a grave embarrassment to the Crown.

The final years

Saxey continued to attract accusations of corruption, and to quarrel with his colleagues. By 1602 he claimed to be too old to fulfil either of his offices; at the same time, rather illogically, he canvassed to be appointed Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer. He retired from the Irish Bench before 1606 (although complaints about his judicial misconduct were still pending), and returned to England, where he busily solicited for another office, preferably as Baron of the Exchequer. All he seems to have obtained was the position, which was routine for a landed gentleman at the time, of justice of the peace for Hereford.

About 1609 he retired to Thinghill, near Withington in Herefordshire, where he died in 1612. He is buried in his local parish church of St. Peter's, Withington. He was married with seven children: it was said that he left his widow and children badly provided for.

Works

During his years in Ireland, he corresponded regularly with Sir Robert Cecil and other English statesmen, giving them his opinion of the state of Ireland, which he presented in a uniformly unfavourable light. During the troubles in Munster in 1598 when among other incidents Kilcolman Castle, home of Saxey's friend, the poet Edmund Spenser, was burnt, Saxey described in apocalyptic and probably much-exaggerated terms a general massacre by the Irish of English settlers, including women and children. In 1598 he wrote a memorandum on the governance of Ireland, calling for the barring of men of Irish birth from the Bench and all other public offices, and for strict enforcement of the laws against recusancy. This may be an earlier version of a treatise on Ireland, to which Ball refers, which he wrote in retirement.

Character

Crawford describes Saxey as a "redoubtable" figure, but also as a man who was "ethically challenged", and an "ambitious opportunist" whose record as a judge showed the dubious wisdom of sending English "careerists" to staff the Irish Bench. In his own time he was noted not only for corruption but misanthropy, being compared to the philosopher Timon of Athens, for it was said that like Timon: "he endureth no man". While Saxey undoubtedly hated and feared the Irish people, as all his writings make clear, this was a common enough emotion among English settlers in Ireland in that era. The "Timon" comparison, on the other hand, suggests that Saxey disliked humanity in general.

growing | Domestic Discipline, Jenny style!
I've promised a return to sharing more kink. Forget family time! It's time to appeal to more prurient interests. Yeah, be honest, that is why you read a blog like this!
Well, I guess I lied. You'll have to wait for one more post. This one will be the set up for the sizzling and salacious, the depraved and degenerate, the indecent and impure, the. . . well, you get the picture. It sets the stage for the "fun" stuff, in this case, a punishment. Yeah, I am flipping the Jenny script and sharing the aftermath of a punishment, then I'll share the details of the punishment on the next post.
This isn't even about a punishment I received, it is Kayla's. What? "In three months of no posting you didn't receive a single noteworthy spanking?" Yep. I mean, not that I wasn't spanked, but nothing noteworthy. Anything I share of the last two or three months would be indistinguishable from other posts about punishments. I can't motivate myself to write about something that is so derivative of prior posts. So instead, I will write about Kayla. What makes it noteworthy is that it marks an evolution in our relationship.
Like most relationship changes, they come slowly and as part of a change in someone. The "initiator" recognizes a need for change before the other person does. The initiator often stays silent for some time as they first try to understand and reconcile what that change means for themselves. Even once they do, they sometimes are unsure how to articulate exactly what this change is. Then there is some trigger, a tipping point, and they verbalize this change.
In this case, the tipping point involved a punishment Mike gave Kayla. I'll share the details in the next post, but basically, it surprised me. Not in its severity – it was not severe. It was just very different.
I've learned to trust Mike and not question or worry about Kayla in regards to her discipline. In fact, it was exactly a year ago that I learned that lesson well re Post 201. Happy New (Severe Spanking) Year. That lesson was about learning to approach my concerns from a point of curiosity and of seeking clarity. This was especially important when it came to issues dealing with Kayla and my concern that Mike remain on point with providing the discipline she wants and needs.
We've started calling our Thursday Maintenance sessions "Triad Thursday" since, about eight months ago, we turned this into a family meeting of sorts with me, Mike, and Kayla all coming together for Maintenance. As Kayla's punishment in question happened on a Thursday, I felt it was a great opportunity to find clarity and resolve my concerns.
Wow. Yep. Those were her words. She said it didn't come out exactly how she intended, but, that yeah, the essence of it is all in there. It's hard to hear someone say that. Your mind just hears, "I don't want you." Thus, my defenses were triggered, but fortunately, my defensiveness didn't last long. I credit my years of training as a counselor and my generous and empathetic heart. Yep, it had absolutely nothing to do with the stern look and word my initial response got from Mike.
Brushing aside my bruised ego, what quickly ensued was a meaningful dialogue between the three of us. I'll spare the blow-by-blow, but it was positive, constructive, and loving. The short version is this — Our relationship with Kayla is two years old, and Kayla is now 24. While she was always mature beyond her years, she has grown a lot in those two years. And " a lot" is an understatement. Her needs have changed. Not as it relates to her submission, but as it relates to me.
I had given up on being a disciplinarian to Kayla some time ago. Part due to my own needs as a submissive and part due to her no longer desiring it. And when she first moved in with us I was very much a "helicopter girlfriend" as I was very concerned for her well being. And while I didn't do this nearly as much, I still hovered over her needs in a motherly sort of way. She was declaring her independence from my motherly type concerns for her. Good for her! And because I have been prone to sarcasm, I'll state that there was no sarcasm in that statement. Only pride, joy and love.
It isn't that she didn't appreciate how she was treated before — she loved how we have treated her and credits it with her tremendous growth as a person. It is simply that her needs have changed, and she is looking to be treated in a way that is consistent with her current needs.
She is no longer that young woman who wants or needs my protection. She is simply that young woman who wants and needs my love. I should not go to Mike when I have a concern about Kayla that I have not yet shared with Kayla. That is no different than how Kayla has treated me since the beginning.
While "wife" has legal connotations, it also has a lot of emotional ones. And Kayla expressed she wanted the mantle of that title, not just between her and Mike, but between me and her. . . albeit an informal, non-legally binding title. And for her it isn't about any of the legal rights bestowed on that title. She is not interested in any of that. She is interested in the standing it gives her in our family dynamic regarding how she is treated by me and by Mike. It was easy to grant her this and both Mike and I committed to treating her this way from now one, whole-heartedly.
There were no ill feelings from our conversation. I truly lost my defensive feelings very quickly. In addition, Mike reminded me how important it was for me to be so involved in her discipline and be overly sensitive to her needs in the early days of the relationship. Even if I wasn't administering discipline, I was often providing feedback to Mike, and not just because I would easily give it, but because he would frequently seek it. While Kayla credits Mike for how wonderful of a Dom he is for her, Mike was quick to remind her that it came with a lot of insights from me.
With a little reflection, any bruised ego or defensiveness I felt was quickly replaced with positive feelings. Kayla's "declaration" is part of the success of her growth that I have played a part in. Far from feeling defensive, I feel admiration, love, pride, and joy – both to and from Kayla.
Now, I know most of you pervs are saying, "Finally, you made your point. Now, just tell us what the hell Kayla did and how she was summarily punished for it!" Next post!

Basketball - 21. January 2008.
Spain - Brazil and Fiji will be Spain's rivals in the first round of the Pre-Olympic Tournament
From www.feb.es
Download source here
The drawing for the Women's Pre-Olympic Tournament, which will be held from June 9th-15th in Madrid, has paired up Spain with the national teams from Brazil and the islands of Fiji in Group C. The top two from this group will face off with the teams of Group D, made up of teams from Belarus, Cuba and Taiwan.
By chance, Spain has been paired up with Brazil, a top force in women's basketball (4th in the FIBA rankings), and with lesser-known Fiji, who placed third in the Pacific Championship. Brazil placed third in the 2007 North and South American Tournament behind USA and Cuba, and has well known players who have played in Spain such as sisters Luz and Erika de Souza, as well as Iziane Castro. Fiji, on the other hand, is new to playing in international competitions and is able to play in the Pre-Olympic Tournament since Australia and New Zealand automatically qualified for the Olympics (Australia for winning the world championship, and New Zealand for placing second in the Pacific Tournament). The opening game of the tournament will be Spain vs. Fiji.
The groups have been set in the following categories:
Group A: Latvia, Japan, and Senegal
Group B: The Czech Republic, Argentina, and Angola ?Group C: Spain, Brazil and Fiji?
Group D: Belarus, Cuba and Taiwan
The top two in each group will go on to the quarterfinals in which those from Group C will play against the Group D teams of Belarus, Cuba and Taiwan.
The four winners of this round will directly classify for the Olympics in Peking. The fifth team to classify will be decided by semifinal and final games played by those who lost in the quarterfinal round.
The tournament drawing event was opened by the Secretary of State for Athletics, Jaime Lissavetzsky, who felt that Spain will surely win one of the five slots to play in Peking in 2008. "This Pre-Olympic tournament recognizes women's athletics. Spanish basketball is on everybody's minds; not only are fans thinking of our teams, society is as well," added the Secretary of State who also thanked the city of Madrid for its willingness: "Madrid is a hit."
Lissavetzky gave way to the president of the Spanish Basketball Federation, José Luis Sáez, who mentioned that Madrid would surely be an ideal place for the organization of this event: "We are looking at another historical moment in Spanish and international basketball. All of the players and members of the women's teams who have won medals in the last four European championship tournaments are in my heart." He also thanked the support of the institutions represented by Jaime Lissavetzky and Manuel Cobo, and said he was convinced that, "After being named sub-champion of Europe, the women's national team will go to the Olympics and make Spain proud once again.
The vice mayor of Madrid Manuel Cobo closed the act by welcoming al present and affirming that, "Madrid will once again host a top level athletics event which reinforces our possibilities of being chosen as the sight for the Olympic games in 2016. When the Secretary of Athletics mentioned that basketball was on everybody's minds he was referring to the way everyone felt in EuroBasket. We will feel the same way in the Pre-Olympic games. The women's national team is on the right path and I hope that all who go to see the Pre-Olympic games enjoy the city and can see the evolution and change that has happened here in the last few years. We are going to continue to go with
athletics and with basketball," said Cobo.
The draw, presented by the FIBA Press Director, Marcos Beltrá from Spain, and carried out by the Athletics Director of the same international organization, Lubomir Kotleba, was seen live on the International Basketball Federation's web site (www.fiba.com) and on the Spanish Basketball Federation' s web site ( www.febtv.com ) from the Institute of Training and Studies of the local government Madrid. The national women's team coach, Evaristo Pérez, and four members of the team, Amaya Valdemoro, Elisa Aguilar, Ana Montañana and Isa Sánchez were present at the event, along with Helen Luz, a Brazilian player from the Cadi La Seu d'Urgel team of the women's league, and Carolina Mújica and Monica Messa, two ex-international players from Spain who were on the 1993 national team and got the gold medal in the European tournament.
The five teams which win this valuable Olympic classification at the tournament will join the seven teams that are already set to go to the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing: China (the host team), Australia (the World Champs), Mali (African Champions), USA (Champion team of North and South America), Korea (Asian Champion), Russia (European Champion), and New Zealand (Pacific Champion).

The American Discovery of Europe
Author Jack D. Forbes
Urbana and Chicago: University of Illinois Press, 2007
Reviewer John L. Sorenson
Jack D. Forbes, a scholar with Native American ancestry, has a long publishing history treating neglected topics that involve Native Americans (whom he calls simply "Americans"). In The American Discovery of Europe, Forbes weaves facts from recondite sources into a surprising story of Amerindian voyagers who reached Europe before conventional history opens with Columbus's first voyage. He also documents the seizure by European slavers after 1492 of thousands of Americans who were carried to Europe and elsewhere.
Forbes makes a credible case that in about 1476 Columbus saw two people at Galway, Ireland, who had arrived by canoe from the West but whose language could not be understood. The man and woman were supposed to have come from "Cathay," that is, East Asia. Presumably, they were accidentally carried from North America aided by the Gulf Stream. This encounter confirmed for young Columbus that Cathay could be reached by sailing west across the North Atlantic. Forbes uses considerable information about little-known late medieval mapmaking in Europe to bolster his case. (Other scholars, such as Gavin Menzies, are also currently discovering other data showing that the Atlantic and lands beyond it were within the purview of cartographers of that era.)

Avaya UCaaS to offer easier communications across any device in three countries
07 July, 2020 at 12:24 PM
Anand Eswaran of RingCentral
Avaya Holdings Corp and RingCentral Inc. have announced the global expansion and availability of Avaya Cloud Office by RingCentral in Australia, Canada, and the UK. It features new capabilities including tools to help migrate customers more efficiently and effectively.
Avaya Cloud Office is experiencing rapid global customer adoption, enhancing the way organisations communicate with customers, partners and with colleagues through an all-in-one solution that delivers seamless collaboration across multiple channels. Communication delivered via a single platform is increasingly important as 85% of companies use two or more disparate collaboration applications to meet customer and end-user requirements. By enabling voice calls, team messaging, meetings, conferencing and file sharing in a single solution, Avaya Cloud Office reduces cost and complexity while empowering workforces to call, meet and message across any device from wherever they are.
This news highlights the continued expansion of Avaya Cloud Office to more countries and customers around the globe. The CIUSSS Est-de-l'Ile-de-Montreal (or CEMTL), a Canadian healthcare and social services provider with 15,000 employees across two hospitals, one university institute, eight clinics and 15 long term care facilities turned to Avaya to power their communication needs.
"Avaya Cloud Office demonstrates the true value of UCaaS and enables us to act quickly and stay engaged across our locations, in particular during the COVID-19 crisis when effective and efficient communications and collaboration are critical and not an option. Avaya Cloud Office enables our team to collaborate seamlessly across locations and devices to better focus on the needs of our customers. Additionally, the deployment was fast and effortless, literally within hours we were up and running."
"The way we work continues to change as we see real examples of digital transformation accelerating rapidly across businesses of all sizes," says Dennis Kozak, SVP, business transformation, Avaya. "Nothing is more critical to a business than communications and we have seen unprecedented uptake of our collaboration solutions as a result of the new working environment we are all experiencing. Organisations of all kinds are quickly adopting solutions that provide a single integrated platform to seamlessly manage communications with customers and employees, across multiple devices."
Since its introduction in March, new features, including additional migration tools, enhanced devices support, along with advanced telephony management and other capabilities have been added to Avaya Cloud Office including:
Expanded support for Avaya endpoint devices to ensure users have exactly the right solution for their needs. The additional device support also extends the rich meeting capabilities of Avaya Cloud Office into conference rooms, providing high fidelity sound quality.
Migration tools and features to facilitate the transition of customers on previous Avaya UC premise-based platforms to Avaya Cloud Office, enabling them to seamlessly enjoy the feature rich UCaaS capabilities of calling, meetings, messaging and more – all based in the cloud.
Additional features like Call Park and Page that allow customers to transition from existing Avaya platforms without changing the current processes they use every day.
Over 130 integrations on the Avaya Cloud Office App Gallery leveraging desktop software tools, like Google Docs or O365, that people use every day, creating a seamless experience that eliminates the need to switch between applications.
Dennis Kozak
"It is now more important than ever before that vendors in UC&C are able to provide UCaaS for clients both new and potential," says Oru Mohiuddin, research manager Enterprise Communications & Collaboration, IDC. "According to IDC Europe forecast, UCaaS will grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 23.3% between 2019 and 2022, which is higher than the 17.1% anticipated during the pre-COVID-19 period. IDC is seeing similar trends in places like Canada and Australia as well. This is to facilitate remote collaboration as working from home becomes the new norm in the post crisis period. It is, however, not just enough to provide UCaaS – it needs to be customisable, flexible, modular, agile, frictionless, scalable, omnichannel and secure to cater to the varying needs of enterprises.
"The way we work continues to rapidly evolve and organisations need modern cloud communications solutions to remain connected and accelerate business outcomes," adds Anand Eswaran, president and chief operating officer, RingCentral. "Avaya Cloud Office enables businesses to keep moving forward and ensure that customers have the right solutions at their fingertips to connect, communicate, and collaborate effectively. Ever since we launched in the US market, we have seen tremendous uptick for Avaya Cloud Office by the extensive and trusted ecosystem that Avaya has nurtured for many years."

While you are in the East Village neighborhood, take a look at the remaining Canary Island Palm tree (Phoenix canariensis) in front of the Burton Inn, formerly known as Rigdon Hall, home of state Senator Elmer Rigdon. In the early 1900s the palms lined Lee Street, which is now known as Burton Drive; they were sold to William Randolph Hearst and transplanted into the gardens of his grand hilltop home. Another specimen still stands by the Palms Motel at 2662 Main St.
At nearby Ollalieberry Inn is a majestic Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) planted about 1905 by Otto and Charles Manderscheid in the front yard of the their home, which served as the town's first drug store. Several redwoods dot our village, namely the one just west of the Bluebird Inn, formerly the George Lull ranch house. It was lit in December as part of the Christmas Lighting project which was funded by a Cambria Tourism Board grant, a dream come true (and originally envisioned in 1984 by Millie Heath and a committee to decorate significant trees in Cambria).
That redwood and another across the street were likely planted by the Plaskett family. Growth in their early stages is rapid, as evidenced by the redwood planted in the back yard at the Cambria Historical Museum about 36 years ago. While visiting our heirloom gardens, take note of the original narcissus, unique spirea hedges close to the porches (which have petite double blooms), and heirloom dwarf double ruffled daffodils which are blooming, regardless of being stunted by the drought.
White calla lilies have emerged, punctuated by unusual black lilies named Arum Palaestinum, based on their Middle East origin. Fourteen plants were in the Center Street front yard of the former Guthrie-Bianchini house when the Historical Society bought it in 2001. Over the years, Project Manager Mike Rice has divided and replanted the bulbs to encircle the house; for the first time, they are now available for sale in our nursery out back, a gallon pot for just $15 (plus tax). Buy now to enjoy their unusual blooms, and plant just about anywhere for the future, since gophers and deer avoid them.
On March 6, we will feature the highly unusual Dawn Redwood, which deserves its own special attention. For other information, check out our website at www.cambriahistoricalsociety.com, and "like us" on www.facebook.com/cambriahistoricalsociety.
The gardens are open all day every day; the museum is staffed by volunteers from 1 to 4 p.m. Friday to Sunday and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday. There's no admission charge, but donations are gratefully accepted. For more information, call 927-2891.
