Chael Sonnen Doubts Jake Paul Gets 'Bang For Your Buck' From PFL Signing

Chael Sonnen is not convinced that Jake Paul signing with the PFL is going to work out in his favor.
When news broke that Paul had signed with the Professional Fighters League, there were mixed reactions among fans. On the one hand, some were excited at the prospect of a promotion splitting PPV revenue 50/50 with the fighters, as is said to be the case with this new Super Fight Division, but on the other hand, people are unsure how successful the move will turn out to be.

Chael Sonnen Doubts Jake Paul's PFL Success
One of the people who is on the side of caution with regards to Jake Paul signing with the PFL is former three-time UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen. Speaking in a video on his YouTube channel, he explained that he is not questioning the ability of Paul to find people to fight that he will be successful against if he chooses a similar style of opponents as he has faced in his boxing career thus far.
Instead, Sonnen has questions about the revenue-generating potential of the PFL's pay-per-view efforts and how those profits are distributed to the fighters. He expressed doubts about whether or not this will actually be worth it in the long run, when it comes to the pockets of the YouTuber turned boxer.
"Part of that press release was to tell the world that it was a 50% split with the fighters. I don't know you're gonna get your bang for your buck for that," Sonnen said. "The PFL does seem like very decent people. I don't know that I've ever heard someone complaining. But if you're doing a pay-per-view business, and you're splitting it 50/50 and you let the world know that, then that means that you at least believe from a PR perspective you've done something cool, and you want some credit for it.
"Okay, what does it mean? What does it mean? 'We're going to do pay-per-view, and we're going to keep fifty of the revenue, and give (the rest) to you?" Sonnen continued. "There's, traditionally speaking, 5 fights on a pay-per-view card. That means 10 athletes. So do those 10 athletes evenly divide the 50%?"
Chael Sonnen went on to explain that, logically speaking, the PFL is more likely to split revenue at different levels, depending on the specific fighters involved, with the highest share going to Jake Paul or whoever the big attraction is. While this is likely true, Sonnen is speaking to an overarching issue of unanswered questions involving the specifics of this revenue split, not to mention the questions of how many PPV buys the PFL would be able to generate, even with someone as popular as Paul.
There are still a lot of unknowns with how things will shape out with this deal between Jake Paul and the PFL. Time will tell how it all unfolds.
Do you think the Jake Paul/PFL partnership will be profitable for both parties?

European Women's Forum: For a feminist Europe
Earlier this summer our Executive Director Emma Ritch attended the General Assembly of the European Women's Lobby in Brussels. Here she writes on the role and structure of the Lobby, and how Engender works with our sisters in Europe.
In June, I spent most of a week at the European Women's Lobby general assembly in Brussels, where I was elected to its board of administration.
The Lobby is the largest European umbrella of women's organisations, and its general assembly is an annual gathering of all of the national co-ordinations. Engender represents Scotland within the Lobby.
Some of you who follow European feminism or institutional feminist politics will have seen the Lobby pop up on Twitter, in our Friday Feminist Five mailers, but their work is much less familiar to other feminists in Scotland.
I thought I'd share five things about the Lobby (and Engender's involvement with it) that might be of interest.
1. What the Lobby's role is
The European Women's Lobby is a feminist policy and advocacy organisation that has two main roles. First, it lobbies European institutions, including the Commission and Parliament. Second, it supports feminist organisations in member states to participate in Europe-wide campaigning and lobbying.
2. How the Lobby is structured
EWL members fall into two categories: national co-ordinations and Europe-wide organisations.
The Lobby accepts one national co-ordination for each European member state, and leaves it up to the feminists in that state to create or select an organisation to be that national co-ordination. The UK's constitutional arrangements have posed a bit of a challenge to us in this regard, and I'll explain how we resolved it in just a moment. One of my key priorities for action is around how we can stay a part of the Lobby post-Brexit. Gratifyingly, sister organisations from across Europe are willing to engage in the technical process of revisiting the Lobby's statutes to see if they can keep us!
The Lobby is democratic, with members voting at the general assembly for the EWL's board, and executive committee. All national co-ordinations are represented on the board, which meets physically twice a year, and works virtually in between those meetings. The executive committee meets more regularly to meet the exacting requirements of Belgian corporate governance. One of the struggles that the Lobby is currently engaging with is how to make its work more intersectional and its representative structures more representative of Black and minority ethnic women and disabled women.
There is a secretariat, which is based in Brussels.The current secretary general of the EWL is Joanna Maycock.
3. How the UK is represented
The UK can only have one national co-ordination, because it (rather than Scotland, Wales, N. Ireland, and England) is the European member state.
As there is no pan-UK feminist organisation working across the four nations of the UK, a synthetic organisation, called the UK Joint Committee on Women, was created.
Engender is the Scottish member of UKJCW. Wales is represented by WEN Wales; N. Ireland by the Northern Ireland Women's European Platform; and England by NAWO.
We have a rotation of roles within UKJCW, so that all organisations have fair access to the roles of EWL board member, EWL board alternate, convener of UKJCW, and secretariat of UKJCW.
Following the general assembly, I am now the EWL board member. Alys Mumford, Engender's comms and engagement manager, also attends UKJCW meetings on behalf of Engender.
4. How we participate in the Lobby
We are involved in policy work, particularly around the economy and violence against women. I am a member of the Lobby's feminist economics working group, and also do other bits of work throughout the year to influence the European Semester (economic policymaking) process and other pieces of ad hoc policy. Other working groups on the go just now are focusing on political representation (Catherine Fookes from WEN Wales sits on that) and sexual and reproductive health and rights (we're repped by Emma Johnstone from NIWEP).
The Lobby uses information about women's equality across European member states in its lobbying. This involves quite a lot of administration and compilation on our part, to feed in on Scottish experiences. Recent data gathering projects have covered topics like sex and relationships education, the implementation of the Istanbul Convention, and women's access to pensions. We draw on the expertise of sister organisations here in Scotland to make sure that we're painting an accurate picture of life for women in Scotland.
We also respond to the Lobby's campaigning calls by writing letters and emails to MEPs, and Scottish Government and UK Government ministers.
Finally, we also share what we do and know with feminist organisations across Europe.
All of the work we do with the Lobby gives us a richer sense of what is happening to women across the EU, and allows us to join with other feminists to make our voices louder.
5. How we pay for it
We can't spend our Scottish Government grant on international travel. We pay for our annual participation in the general assembly by using income from consultancy work that Engender carries out to raise funds.
All other travel expenses to speak at events, or take part in meetings, are paid for by Europe.
Creating time to ensure that UKJCW works effective and fairly can be challenging, but we mostly manage by working and meeting online. We're going to be hosting the annual physical meeting of UKJCW next January in Scotland.

Pressure mounting on the press
By Quintin Ellison
Wow, I'm loving this version of America, the one where we are so great and all. You heard the latest on our climb back to the top, the Montana politician who last week body slammed, then punched, a reporter who questioned him about health care?
I'm telling you what, that's really great. Even greater than that, the guy doing the punching raked in donations afterwards and won election to the U.S. Congress.
It would appear a lot of people approved of Republican Greg Gianforte's beating up a member of the media.
You know, the lame-stream media. The liberal media. The crooked media. Our enemies, the media, those people who are stopping us, America, from being great.
A free press? To heck with it. If it doesn't fit our world view, it can't be true. Real news is fake news, or at least those facts we don't like.
I witnessed a journalist get pushed around, years ago, while we partnered on a story about a teacher arrested for sex crimes.
The photographer and I were in a courthouse stairwell. I was trying to get comment from the suspect. Meanwhile, the photographer was backing down the stairs snapping pictures, a precarious, exposed position. Suddenly, the suspect's brother exploded, shoving my colleague.
We got out of the dicey situation a bit shaken, but otherwise unharmed. We discussed what to do. The brother who had pushed him was a court official in another county. The father, who had been in the stairwell, was a member of law enforcement. We were fully within our legal rights asking questions and taking photographs. They both knew that.
We could press charges. We could call the guy's boss. We could write an article about what had happened. Any one of those three actions could have ended the young court official's career – almost certainly so, if he were to be convicted of misdemeanor assault or the situation was publicized.
Ultimately, we did none of those things. Whether we made the correct decision is debatable, but the photographer and I decided the brother, who was clearly overwrought, embarrassed and humiliated, had acted out of those emotions. We felt sorry for him, though it did not excuse his behavior.
What emotions, pray tell me, with the possible exceptions of blind anger and towering arrogance, did Gianforte feel when he attacked that Guardian reporter? Apparently, this businessman and politician had grown weary of questions. He told the reporter in the course of battering him: "I'm sick and tired of you guys."
What did he expect when he decided to seek public office? No questions? Three questions only? A two question limit? One is allowed?
Before the assault and as reported by the Missoulian newspaper, in April, a man during a campaign stop said to the candidate: "Our biggest enemy is the news media." He then asked Gianforte, "How can we rein in the news media?'"
The audience member followed up his question by turning to a reporter who was sitting next to him, and "raised his hands as if he would like to wring his neck." Gianforte smiled, pointed at the reporter and said: "It seems like there is more of us than there is of him."
"Him" is a journalist. "Us" would do away with "him."
This vision of a great America is devoid of reporters asking pesky questions. That scares the dickens out of me. And unless you are one of the Gianfortes of the world, I believe such a prospect should scare you, too.
"You" and "us" are in this together, whether we are Democrats, Republicans, progressives or members of the Tea Party; whether we work for major newspapers such as the New York Times or the Washington Post … or at a small weekly in the mountains of North Carolina. I suggest "we," those of us who are believers in the U.S. Constitution, must keep this thing called a free press afloat.
North Carolina's Constitution frames the situation to perfection: "Freedom of speech and of the press are two of the great bulwarks of liberty and therefore shall never be restrained, but every person shall be held responsible for their abuse."
Quintin Ellison is editor of The Sylva Herald.


This is my beloved son, in whom I am well-pleased." The congregation shifted their gaze from the handsome preacher in the pulpit to the handsome young man on the front pew. Chris Nelson felt their eyes but focused on his father's words.
"I've had the privilege to preach at other ordination services," the speaker said. "But this occasion is very special, as a father and as a preacher of the gospel. Chris grew up in a preacher's home. For him to respond to God's calling in spite of what he knows about ministry is both remarkable and encouraging."
After the message, Chris knelt at the altar as the ordained gathered around him for the laying on of hands. His father was last to pray. When he called out, "Lord, bless him with a long and fruitful ministry," Chris became choked with emotion.
Lord, may I serve you as faithfully as my father has, he thought.

December 18, 2013 - Third Global Day of Action ...
... for the Rights of Migrants, Refugees and Displaced People. More than ever united to affirm and defend the rights of immigrants, refugees and displaced people!
On December 18, 1990 the U.N. General Assembly adopted the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families.
The objective of this Convention, the result of nearly two decades of debate and compromise, was precisely to guarantee the protection of the rights of migrant workers and their families.
It's been 23 years since the approval of this convention, and unfortunately the safeguards and the rights of migrants, refugees and displaced people continues to be a goal to reach.
The countries of the "North" (Europe, U.S., Canada) of the world have yet to undersign the Convention. Yet,in many of the countries where the Convention has been ratified already, it is not applied nor respected. It is therefore necessary to continue the struggle for it to be adopted by more and more countries around the world but especially to make sure that signing the convention is not a pure formality.
The violations of human rights that occur daily around the world against migrants highlight the urgency for building alternatives of struggle. These alternatives should be used to demand and achieve respect for the rights of migrants, refugees and displaced people.
These violations occur in different places and at different levels. They are "daily bread" along migration routes and in the temporary, on-transit locations that many times simply become permanent stops.
On these territories violence is brutal and deadly, as demonstrated by the retention of migrant from Sub-Sahara by the government of North Africa supported by the European Fortress. The same is true in the northern border of Mexico where horrible massacres are committed by the complicity between the mafias and the state.
On these routes migrating human beings are forgotten or are killed or simply disappear, and no government says anything about it. On the contrary they are blamed for their own victimization. Most of the times, their corpses are not even recoverable.
The rights of migrants are violated at the receiving countries where they are not considered to be human beings or workers who should be subject to the protection of the law.
They are simply seen as cheap labor to be exploited or enslaved (this is very common among domestic workers, but also for others). Thus these workers can be deprived of their freedom against any logic of law. When these abusive states don't have more use for cheap labor, the workers can be expelled and deported to places where they risk their lives.
In almost all states, the character of migrants are simply criminalized. They are presented to the local population as criminals, such as people who steal their jobs, who are responsible for the crisis and insecurity of towns; they become scapegoats used by governments to divert attention from the real culprits of global crisis.
We, the associations and organizations of migrants and solidarity organizations want to make a strong statement this December 18, 2013, by holding our Third Global Day of Action for the Rights of Migrants, Refugees and Displaced People. We seek to stops this continuous massacre of workers in desperate search for jobs around the world and the ongoing violation of human rights. We want our message to reach international institutions, states and governments, but also civil societies around the world.
Migrations are offering us the opportunity to redesign a new world, a world in which rights are not a privilege of those who are born in certain geographical areas but something that's applicable to all people and therefore no person should risk their lives for a better future.
We want a world where migrating or not migrating is a choice and not an obligation.
We don't want a world in which freedom of movement is designed only for merchandise for profits, but also where people can move freely, and establish residence where they choose without being forcibly displaced.
We want a world where all human beings have the right to a dignified job and where countries respect the fact that human beings have rights not only in the places where they were born but over and beyond those borders.
We want a world where no human being, no worker is illegal.

The embattled medical units maker ConvaTec will announce a sweeping boardroom overhaul on Monday together with the departure of chairman Sir Christopher Gent, one of the outstanding figures in British enterprise.
Sky Information has learnt that ConvaTec, which has seen its shares stoop since itemizing in 2016, will say that Karim Bitar, at present chief govt of animal genetics firm Genus, will be a part of it in the identical position.
His appointment will come greater than 5 months after Paul Moraviec stepped down because the boss of ConvaTec, which makes units similar to catheters and colostomy baggage.
Mr Bitar's arrival is meant to inject some momentum right into a turnaround on the FTSE-250 firm, which has a market worth of £2.64bn after seeing its worth slide by practically one-third during the last 12 months.
ConvaTec's largest shareholders, together with life sciences investor Novo Holdings and a Singaporean state funding fund, are understood to have been briefed on the boardroom overhaul.
Sir Chris's departure, simply two-and-a-half years after ConvaTec's preliminary public providing in London, is prone to shock the Metropolis.
It was unclear on Sunday evening whether or not a everlasting successor had been lined up for Sir Chris, the previous chief govt of Vodafone and chairman of GlaxoSmithKline, two of the London inventory market's largest corporations.
ConvaTec's weak efficiency has been a supply of dismay to traders who purchased in on the time of the float given administration's insistence that the corporate is essentially sound.
It has vital progress alternatives in worldwide markets, with ageing populations making larger use of the power care merchandise that ConvaTec manufactures.
A ConvaTec spokesman declined to remark.

Macaulay Student Uncovers Lost Family History in India and Pakistan, with Support of Rosen and Magner Stipends
Med-school-bound Aakaash Varma conducted interviews in his ancestral village, and neighboring communities, to learn more about the 1947 split of these two nations, as well as the details of his own family's experiences.
/web/new_2015news/151102_Varma_94x84.jpg
Senior Aakaash Varma hosted a TEDxCUNY talk in which he spoke of the importance of narrative storytelling as a means to convey historical events. He used his own family's history as an example.
"My grandfather was struck by a sword once," says senior and Queens native Aakaash Varma, as he recounts his family's experience during the conflicts surrounding the 1947 split of India and Pakistan. "Riots were breaking out and people from a neighboring village raided Manak, and attempted to abduct my grandfather's daughters." With the support of stipends from the Rosen Fellowship Program and the Magner Career Center, Varma was able to travel to India and Pakistan to research this chapter of his family's history, and the history of these two nations.
Varma's ancestral village, Manak, lay a few miles into the West Pakistan border. In the 1940s, his grandfather worked in New Delhi, India, but decided to move his family back to Manak in 1947. The evening after the attempted abduction of his daughters, Varma's grandfather gathered his family and fled with the other nearby Hindu and Sikh families in a great kaafila, or caravan. As they traveled, Varma's grandmother gave birth, but the infant quickly died of malnutrition. The family would eventually resettle in New Delhi.
Fascinated by this piece of his family's history, Varma wanted to journey to the places where these events took place, to not only retrace the steps, but also to document these experiences through interviews with witnesses who still live there. Varma also plans to eventually weave these findings into a novel.
"Going to Pakistan was a big risk," said the William E. Macaulay Honors College student, who is also enrolled in the Coordinated B.A.–M.D. Program and majoring in history with a minor in English. "It isn't something that is necessarily easy to do for someone of Indian descent. My parents were very against it; they really didn't want me to go. But I wanted to go there to interview people there and overcome the stigma of the Indo-Pak divide."
It took a while before Varma was granted a Pakistani visa. He was already in India for a full two months and had not received any word on when he might receive it. In the meantime, he visited Kashmir, a region in the northwestern area of South Asia where Indian/Pakistani tensions remain high.
"I got to see how something that happened nearly 70 years ago can still inform present-day relationships," says Varma. Kashmir is probably the most beautiful place in the world. I noticed how the people there weren't quite sure of their identities. It's a Muslim state in India. There's a huge concern that if it's 99% Muslim, it should be a part of Pakistan. And the residents asked me if I was from India or Pakistan, as though they considered themselves neither."
While visiting India, senior Aakaash Varma also had the chance to visit one of the most beautiful places he had ever seen: Kashmir, located just north of India and Pakistan.

Manak, Varma's ancestral village, was once a part of India; it is now a part of Pakistan.
When Varma finally arrived in Pakistan, he worked with the Citizens Archive of Pakistan, a non-governmental organization that seeks to promote the oral histories of Pakistan and foster Indo-Pak unity. With their help, he interviewed 12 people, including 91-year-old Azra Haq, who had previously worked for British intelligence and served in the Pakistani Women's National Guard. She recalled many horrors of the conflict that have left her with unwanted memories of widespread violence.
"The Indo-Pak division is something that has left people on both sides with traumatic experiences that are difficult to overcome," says Varma.
Before leaving Pakistan, Varma did make it to Manak, his family's home village. "All I had was a few names and I sought to recover history," he said. There, he met with the oldest surviving resident of the village who, as it turns out, remembered Varma's great-grandmother. "He said, 'Of course I remember her. She was once the leader of Manak.'"
Varma did not want to leave without some sort of memento, something that would, in his mind, preserve a piece of his personal history, something that could be shared with his family upon his return to the states.
"I took a brick from the house in which my family once lived, which, unbelievably, was still there, still standing, and had a new family living within," Varma says. "I also took a splinter from the door."
Varma is eager to get started on a novel based on his family history. He seems certain that he will be able to do so even with his part-time job as a photographer's assistant, and while serving as president of the Brooklyn College Speech and Debate Team. Varma will attend medical school at State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate Medical Center's College of Medicine next fall.
To see photographs and artifacts from Varma's travels, as well as hear more about Varma's remarkable journey, visit the "My Global Experience Abroad" exhibit in the lobby of the Brooklyn College Library. And be sure to follow Brooklyn College on Facebook and search the hashtag #BCGlobal2015, which celebrates the research of Varma and other students for International Education Month, the entire month of November.

By Chris Williams: Overmatched No.6 ranked WBC contender Alfonso Gomez (23-4-2, 12 KO's) says he's ready to go out and die trying to beat World Boxing Council junior middleweight champion Saul Alvarez (37-0-1, 27 KO's) on September 17th at the Staples Center, in Los Angeles, California.
Talk about being a little over the top. Gomez needs to relax. He doesn't stand a chance against the young 21-year-old Alvarez, and the only reason he was picked was because he's not much of a threat because of his lack of power, speed, height…etc. He's basically just a punching bag for Alvarez to get an easy payday against and look good during the Mexican Independence Day weekend.
Gomez said "I plan to go in and die in the ring to win this fight." Come again? How can you win if you're dying? That's just like trying to win a war by jumping off of a cliff. Gomez needs to come up with a good plan to try and out-box Alvarez, because he's too slow, weak and small to slug with Alvarez. If he tries to trade with him, he's going to look mighty silly.
I don't know where Alvarez's promoters dug up Gomez, but I don't rate him in the top 20 in the division. He's like No.25 in my rankings. I'd much prefer to see Alvarez at least fight someone that give him a good test. If he wants to bottom feed then I would rather see Alvarez fight Erislandy Lara, Anthony Mundine or Carlos Molina. Those guys would give Alvarez a good fight and wouldn't just get wiped out the way Gomez will. But I don't want the guy dying in a hopeless cause. He doesn't stand a chance and it's pointless getting his teeth knocked in for nothing. I just hope the referee halts the fight when the beating gets too bad.

Historian, Writer
I received my BA in history from Smith College and my MA in history and a Graduate Certificate in Public History from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. My BA was in women's history. My MA fields were US-Japan relations, and race, immigration, and foreign relations in the United States. My Public History Certificate focused on writing history for the public. I also took courses on oral history, history communication and memoir writing.
While at Smith, I studied women's history, learning about Japanese women from ancient to modern times, modern European women, and Middle Eastern women. My senior seminar paper was on Japanese and Japanese-American women who attended Smith from 1899 through the end of World War II.
I became interested in Japanese-American history while taking an American Studies course called "Narratives of Internment" where we studied literature written by Japanese-Americans who had been incarcerated in concentration camps during World War II. While reading Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston's Farewell to Manzanar, I discovered that there were interracial couples in the camps. My final project focused on the United States government's policies toward mixed-race couples and individuals, and their experiences in the camps.
That same semester, I took a course on the history of the Silk Road where I learned about Deaf people employed in the Ottoman court. This was a fascinating addition to the Deaf history and culture I had learned while learning American Sign Language in high school.
My current research projects focus on multi-racial Japanese-American families, and Japanese-Americans with disabilities during World War II.
I am also working to increase accessibility at museums, archives, research institutions, conferences, and other events and locations for historians with disabilities. In 2019, I organized a panel called "Barriers To History: Making History and Historical Research Accessible" for the National Council on Public History (NCPH) annual meeting which took place in March 2020. I facilitated the Twitter conversation which discussed barriers that historians disabilities face, accommodations that worked, how institutions working with or for people with disabilities create accommodations, institutional accessibility guidelines, and how institutions can improve accessibility.

VMSL Week 15 Round-up: Rino's Tigers and West Van finish year on top but still all to play for after the Christmas break (with video highlights)
Posted on December 20, 2018	by Michael McColl	in VMSL, BC SOCCER	with 0 Comments
The VMSL Premier Division saw its last action of 2018 this past weekend, or at least most of the teams scheduled to play did.
And the year finished with Rino's Tigers and West Van FC atop the VMSL Premier standings by a single point, with only three points separating the top five teams.
Most teams have seven matches remaining of their season once the league resumes after the Christmas break, but with others having games in hand, the run-in is going to be one of the most exciting for years, with seven of the sides still realistically harbouring some dreams of championship glory.
The last weekend of the year's action didn't get off to the most auspicious start, with one of the linesmen failing to turn up at Newton leading to the postponement of then leaders CCB LFC United's match with Club Inter EDC Burnaby.
A match did take place at Newton on Friday night though and it saw defending champs BCT Rovers Tigers United make it three wins on the bounce with a 3-0 victory of Richmond FC Hibernian thanks to another Nick Soolsma hat-trick.
The former TFC man struck in the 9th, 24th, and 68th minutes to give the Tigers the points and see them move to within three points of first place but with two games in hand.
Friday's other game saw Croatia SC get past Campo Atletico 2-0 at Burnaby Lake thanks to goals from Emile Saimovici and Noah Owen. That win saw Croatia temporarily move into top spot, but it was to be a short lived table topping, for now at least.
The reason for that were wins on Saturday by Rino's Tigers and West Van FC, victories that saw both sides leapfrog Croatia for a share of first place by just a single point.
Rino's Tigers were made to work hard for their three points and were forced to come from behind to see off the challenge of Coquitlam Metro Ford Wolves 3-1 at Trillium.
The former back to back champs got off to a dream start just 70 seconds in when Juan Sanchez picked the ball up with his back 20 yards from goal. The Wolves striker turned brilliantly to fire the ball into the bottom left hand corner of the net and give the visitors the early advantage.
Metro Ford were dominant for the opening quarter of an hour and could easily have been three or four up if it hadn't have been for a couple of big saves from Rino's keeper Jackson Gardner and the post.
But the Tigers weathered the storm and got themselves back on level terms in the 21st minute when Elyad Shojaei tucked away a low Daniel Johnson cross.
After that it was Rino's who were in the ascendency for much of the rest of the match, as Coquitlam disappeared as much of an attacking threat. But after having a goal disallowed, hitting the post, and seeing the Metro Ford keeper pull off a couple of big saves, it was looking like it wasn't going to be their day and a share of the spoils was on the cards.
But Erik Edwardson had other ideas, and the former Portland Pilot and TSS Rovers man tucked away a couple of goals in the 82nd and 90th minutes to see Rino's grab three massive points, taking his own tally for the season to 14.
You can see all the goals, and some other highlights from the match, in our video below:
Rino's regained the lead they've held for so long this season with the win, and they now share top spot with West Van, who had a fairly comfortable 3-0 victory over Pegasus SFC at Ambleside on Saturday afternoon, but they also left it late before securing the three points.
Kiya Darbandi put the home side in the lead in the 7th minute, but that was how it stayed until the final 15 minutes. Colin Phillips finally doubled West Van's lead in the 75th minute and a minute later Dylan Bams sealed the deal and the victory.
The VMSL Premier's last match of 2018 was at Fen Burdett Mahon Stadium in North Vancouver as NVFC Norvan hosted Guildford FC. Unfortunately it was a game that didn't reach the full 90 minutes, with the referee calling the game off four minutes before half time, with the scores tied at 0-0. The remaining 49 minutes will be rescheduled for another date.
So after all that drama and twists and turns, the final VMSL Premier Division standings of the year looks as follows:
There's joint leaders in Division 1 as well, with Burnaby Selects White Eagles and ICSF Columbus sharing first place on 34 points from their first 15 matches, giving both teams a seven points lead over Burnaby Metro Athletic and Coquitlam Metro Ford Lupi in third place.
Burnaby Metro still have to play both of the top teams down the stretch, so a lot can still change in the remaining seven matches, and they face Columbus at Burnaby Lake when the teams get back in action on Friday January 4th. That should be a cracker.
Undefeated Provincial B Cup champions Vancouver Strikers look all but assured promotion and the Division 2A championship. They have a commanding ten point lead over second placed Metropolitan FC at the Christmas break, with seven matches remaining.
Division 2B is down to a two team battle between FC Serbia United and Westside FC Sierra. Serbia lead the way on 36 points, but Sierra sit five points behind in second, with two games in hand. The two teams are set to meet at Burnaby Lake on Sunday February 3rd, in what could be a tasty title decider.
Over in Division 3, Coquitlam Metro Ford Lobos, Marpole Tropics, and GFC United Lions finish the year as league leaders in the three pools.

Q: ArrayList of ArrayList of Strings How to trace the elements in the ArrayList of ArrayList of String elements and create a        HashMap from it? I need to know how to access the string elements in each of the inner     ArrayList and if its unique add it as a key in the HashMap and set its count to 1, any    subsequent presence of that particular string in any inner ArrayList would increment the count for that String.

A: Just because I'm in a good mood:
List<List<String>> outer = getOuter();
Map<String, Integer> wordCount = new HashMap<>();
for(List<String> inner : outer) {
  for(String word : inner) {
    if(!wordCount.contains(word)) {
      wordCount.put(word,1);
    } else {
      wordCount.put(word,wordCount.get(word)+1);
    }
  }

Candy Chang is an artist who "is passionate about the way we shape our places and our places shape us." Her love of exploring the way that people and spaces interact has inspired much of her public artwork; interactive, large-scale pieces that inspire the engagement of her audience are some of the signature characteristics of her impressive body of work.
Chang's parents emigrated from Taiwan, and settled in Pittsburg, where she was born. The artist has created public art projects all around the world, and happily calls New Orleans home. Such an expansive global portfolio is indicative of her wide-reaching works that resonate with people of diverse cultures; Chang has created public art in Hong Kong, Las Vegas, New York City, right at home in New Orleans, and many other places.
Her resume is both unique and impressive; Chang holds degrees in architecture, graphic design, and in urban planning. She is not the kind of artist who withdraws into her studio to work in solitude. Much to the contrary, Chang embraces the ways in which other people interact and shape her public art, and is interested in finding ways to engage and relate to her audience.
"Combining public art, civic engagement, and introspection, she explores the power of our public spaces to help us make sense of our communities and ourselves," details her biography. One example of how Chang unifies reflective works with public spaces is in her deeply impactful project, "Before I die." After losing a loved one, Chang was compelled to overcome her grief in an inspiring way. Using chalkboard paint, she covered one side of an abandoned building in her neighborhood before stenciling "Before I die I want to_________________" repetitiously across the black wall.
In little more than a day after the wall's completion, it was covered in vibrant, honest chalk hopes and dreams of people from all over the community. The "Before I die" message has since resonated with thousands of people, who have contributed to this living work of public art since 2011. Today, less than three years after Chang painted over that original abandoned wall, her message has been recreated and shared in over 60 countries and 25 languages worldwide. These walls exist as a testament to the importance of living a full life, of the hopes and dreams of strangers, and to Chang's striking artistic skills.
Another of Chang's inspiring projects is her "The School of the Future," an interactive installation that invites people to consider the role that school plays in shaping our values. The work is playful, insightful, and unique, much like the rest of the artist's portfolio. Chang is currently working on creating a work called "The Philosopher's Library," which is described as "a sanctuary in New Orleans for confused, anxious, and worn out people." Funded by grants from prestigious arts organizations, this interactive installation will feature hundreds of inspirational books.
Dynamic and spirited, introspective and inviting, Candy Chang's works of art dance across public spaces and inspire a global audience. To see more of her work, and learn about the "Before I die" book, visit her official website.

In the »The Wish List« project initiated by Benchmark Furniture and the American Hardwood Export Council, this question was examined by ten leading designers in collaboration with ten emerging ones. The results were put on show at the 2014 London Design Festival in the Victoria & Albert Museum.
Designed for a footprint of three by three metres and in keeping with a low-tech approach, Paul Smith's shed was to be realised as simply as possible and using few materials only. In accordance with the requirement to use American hardwood it is crafted out of thermally modified ash, made weather-proof and lent a dark brown hue in the heat treatment. The weatherboarding is rough-sawn to reinforce associations with a simple garden hut.
A steel profile in the form of a door striking plate painted bright yellow provides a colourful accent and is part of a closing mechanism involving magnets in the door. The shed is mounted on a revolving platform to ensure ideal alignment to the surroundings and the position of the sun. Plus one of the gable sides is completely glazed for unobstructed views of nature.

Below is an essay on "A Long Way Gone to Be Like the Moon" from Anti Essays, your source for research papers, essays, and term paper examples.
At the age of twelve, Ishmael Beah wields an AK-47 for the first time. For almost four years, the Sierra Leonean government army forces Ishmael into violent conflict under the compulsory influence of drugs. Suffering from severe psychological damage due to the trauma of war and the habitual use of drugs as a child, UNICEF rescues him and places him into intensive rehabilitation. Ishmael successfully recovers both physically and psychologically through displays of genuine benevolence, learning to self-create and establish an authentic identity on the foundations of the hardships overcame and renewing his faith in the innate unselfishness of people.
After the adversities he faced, Beah is living proof of his sentiment: "Children have the resilience to outlive their sufferings, if given a chance" (Beah, 169). According to David Miller and Randall MacIntosh, children can potentially, "bounce back, recover, or successfully adapt in the face of obstacles and adversity." They suggest that the development of this "resilience" requires exposure risk and protective factors: "Risk factors may increase the likelihood of psychopathology in an individual…Protective factors on the other hand enable the individual to counter the effects of risk factors," (Miller, MacIntosh 1999). Ishmael's resilience stems from his protective factors, namely his companions, music, and surrogate paternal and maternal influence, whereas his risk factors include war trauma, the use of addictive drugs, and disjointedness from family.
While visiting a neighboring village in 1993, Ishmael and his brother, Junior, become both refugees and orphans after the RUF razes their home village of Mogbwemo to the ground. At such a young age and without any prior experience with the war aside from fleeting rumors, Ishmael is suddenly cast into its depths. News of the attack on his home village leaves him coping with his first sense of disconnectedness from family and fear for himself.


Some things are timeless. While graffiti has been around for decades (or millennia, depending on how it is defined), its position in Hip-Hop has waxed and waned over the years. Rapping and DJ'ing have stood at the forefront of the culture, since the mid-80s, but every once in a while breakin' and the graf' serve up beautiful reminders of their staying power.
Over the last few years, graffiti has taken on a powerful role as a tool for social change. Artists like Skid Robot have used their work to bring attention to homelessness, while others like Banksy, have championed the rights of refugees through their art.
Whether the first or fiftieth time seeing this video, it remains an inspiring testimony to the enduring power of graffiti.

Alleged Municipal Bond Scheme Leads to Settlement With TN, Other States
News release from attorney general's office:
Tennessee Attorney General Bob Cooper and 24 other state attorneys general announced a $92 million agreement with JP Morgan Chase & Co. (JPMC) as part of an ongoing nationwide investigation of alleged anticompetitive and fraudulent conduct in the municipal bond derivatives industry.
As part of the multistate agreement, JPMC has agreed to pay $65.5 million in restitution to affected state agencies, municipalities, school districts and not-for-profit entities nationwide that entered into municipal derivative contracts with JPMC between 2001 and 2005. In addition, JPMC agreed to pay a $3.5 million civil penalty and $6 million in fees and costs of the investigation to the participating states. It has not yet been determined how much Tennessee and the other states will receive from the agreement.
Municipal bond derivatives are contracts that tax-exempt issuers use to reinvest proceeds of bond sales until the funds are needed. They may also be used to avoid fluctuating interest rates. In April 2008, the state working group began investigating allegations that some large financial institutions, including national banks and insurance companies, and brokers, engaged in various schemes to rig bids and commit other deceptive, unfair and fraudulent conduct in the municipal bond derivatives market.
The ongoing investigation revealed some JPMC employees colluded with other financial institutions and brokers with whom they had working relationships to secure an unfair advantage over other firms. The defendants are alleged to have rigged bids by submitting non-competitive courtesy bids and submitting fraudulent certifications of compliance to government agencies in addition to other violations of U.S. Treasury regulations.
"Regardless of the means used to carry out the various schemes, the objective was to enrich the financial institution and/or the broker at the expense of the issuer," Attorney General Cooper said. "Ultimately taxpayers pay a higher price because such wrongful conduct circumvents a competitive, transparent marketplace. As a result, state, city, local and not-for-profit entities entered into municipal derivatives contracts on less advantageous terms than they would have otherwise."
The state settlement also provides that JPMC will pay $17 million in restitution directly to certain other government and not-for-profit entities as part of separate agreements it entered into today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).
The state, SEC and OCC settlements are distinct components of a coordinated global $228 million settlement that JPMC entered into today. JPMC also reached agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice's Antitrust Division, the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Reserve Board. JPMC is the third financial institution to settle with a multistate working group in the ongoing municipal bond derivatives investigation following Bank of America and UBS AG. To date, the state working group has obtained agreements worth close to $250 million.

How To Add Lyrics For Apple Music Songs In Music App
By Oliver Haslam | July 24th, 2015
Apple's recently released Apple Music may have answered plenty of requests by finally bringing streaming music to Apple's stable, but even after the redesign of Music app in iOS 8.4, it is still missing one fairly big feature – lyrics.
Some people love to read music lyrics while a song plays, and if you're one of them then you may want to check out the jailbreak tweak LyricForMusic, because it does exactly what you're looking for.
Free to download from Cydia, the LyricForMusic tweak will obviously need a jailbroken iOS device in order to work, and if you're not yet jailbroken then we already have plenty of information on how to sort that little problem out and you're going to want to get it done while iOS 8.4 is still the latest version around.
Once that's taken care of, LyricForMusic will bring lyrics right into the Music app, and all you need to do to see them is to tap album artwork and it will be replaced with the lyrics for whatever song is playing, whether that song be from Apple Music or iTunes purchases or from your own iTunes import. The downside? Well, all of the lyrics are pulled from the Internet, which means that you will need to have an active connection in order for any of this to work which may not be problem on an iPhone, but if you are using an iPod touch or an iPad to listen to your music, then things may get a little flakey when you're out of WiFi range.
Developer EZI has done a decent job of getting LyricForMusic running and while it may not be flashy, it does exactly what it needs to do with the minimum of fuss. When all you want to do is read lyrics as you listen to songs, then you can't ask for much more than that.
You can download LyricForMusic from the Cydia jailbreak store now, and it's free.
If you haven't jailbroken yet, you can find the instructions on how to jailbreak iOS 8.4 here:

Prior research highlights the vital role of information technology (IT) for innovation in firms. In this paper, we draw on the knowledge-based view of the firm to investigate how search in external knowledge sources and information technology for knowledge absorption jointly influence process innovation performance. Our model is tested on a nine-year panel (2003–2011) of Swiss firms from a wide range of manufacturing industries. Using instrumental variables, and disaggregating by type of IT, we find that data access systems and network connectivity hold very different potential for the effective absorption of external knowledge, and the subsequent realized economic gains from process innovation. Against the backdrop of today's digital transformation, our findings demonstrate how firms should coordinate strategies for sourcing external knowledge with specific IT investments in order to improve their innovation performance.

In 1981, the United States Supreme Court delivered a landmark ruling in Upjohn Co. v. United States. The decision made clear that the protections afforded by the attorney-client privilege apply to internal corporate investigations. This piece examines the fundamental tenets of Upjohn, discusses some recent challenges to the applicability of privilege to materials gathered during internal investigations, and considers the manner in which the international nature of modern internal investigations adds complexity and uncertainty to the field.

Is Magsayo the next Manny Pacquiao?
Bohol's fighting pride Mark "Magnifico" Magsayo could be the next big thing in Philippine boxing when Manny Pacquiao, who is perceived to be in the twilight of a storybook boxing career, hangs up his gloves.
Even Pacquiao himself appears to believe that Magsayo is destined for boxing greatness as he said that he sees himself in the undefeated 24-year-old (20-0) who hails from Tagbilaran City.
"He reminds me of myself, how we both struggled to come from nothing to world-rated contender. I love his work ethic and desire to become a world champion," said the Filipino senator, also the reigning World Boxing Association welterweight champion.
Pacquaio's belief in Magsayo has been concretized recently through a promotional deal. The boxing legend took Magsayo under his wing by signing him under MP Promotions, a move projected to propel Magsayo's bid for superstardom as he gets a chance to showcase his talents in the US under Al Haymon's Premier Boxing Champions.
"I will do everything to help promote Mark and make his dreams a reality," Pacquaio said after their promotional deal was sealed at his residence in upscale Forbes Park in Makati City on Tuesday.
Other than being under the same promotional firm, the two Bisayan-speaking fighters now have more in common. Magsayo, like Pacquiao, is also training under hall-of-fame trainer Freddie Roach and conditioning coach Justin Fortune.
Magsayo has relocated to the US to train at Roach's famed Wild Card Boxing Gym Club in Hollywood.
His next fight against a still undetermined opponent is tentatively slated for May 16 in either Los Angeles or boxing and gambling mecca Las Vegas.
Magsayo who, like many of the country's other pugs, idolizes Pacquiao thanked his new patron for giving him a crack at the big leagues and assured his fans the he will not be wasting the opportunity.
"I want to thank the Senator for helping me and all the Filipino boxers, for changing our lives and helping us," Magsayo said.
"I am more inspired to fight now especially since Senator Manny Pacquiao is my Idol. I look up to him a lot. I started boxing because of him. I will not waste the opportunity and will do my best to fulfill my dreams," he added.
Although Pacquiao is still one of boxing's biggest starts, the search for his successor has long been underway as the country hungers for another fighter who will not only mesmerize Filipinos but the entire boxing world.
Magsayo, with the continued honing of his skills and the right people in his corner, could end that search.
