School Supt. Frances Gallo plans to fire all the teachers in the city's only high school as part of a major overhaul ordered by the state education commissioner. The Providence Journal has reported on the plan since it was announced.
Tonight, Anderson will speak to CNN's Education Contributor Steve Perry and Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) tonight.

Evening Buzz: Fire Teachers for Failing School?
Maureen Miller
AC360° Writer
At Central Falls High School in Rhode Island less than half the students gradate, only seven percent are proficient in math and almost all live in poverty. Last week, the entire faculty of the high school received letters recommending their termination. The letter to the 74 teachers, who each earn at least $72,000, was sent by the school's superintendent, Frances Gallo. The school district's Board of Trustees votes on Gallo's recommendation tomorrow.
The superintendent says the decision came after the teacher's union balked at six options to transform the low-performing high school.
Those recommendations include:
– a longer school day of seven hours
– agree to be evaluated by a third party
– meet 90 minutes per week to discuss education matters
– have lunch with students every once in awhile
– two weeks of paid professional development during the summer
According to local media reports, the union officials wanted to be paid more.
Do you think the teachers should be fired or is the superintendent over-reacting?
Tonight we'll debate the move with the head of the union and Steve Perry, our Education Contributor.
We're also looking into Pres. Obama's health care bill. After months of debate on Capitol Hill with different plans in the House and Senate, the White House has unveiled its own plan.
The White House says its blueprint would extend coverage to 31 million Americans and cost $950 billion over 10 years.
We'll show you what it does and doesn't have tonight on the program. We're also looking at all the wheeling and dealing in Washington and how lawmakers go after goodies to get what they want. It's part of our "Broken Government" series we'll bring you all this week on 360°.

Orphans seized, Mom is detained
Ismael Estrada
AC360° Producer
Gary Tuchman and I were working on a separate story for AC360° when we got word that there had been Americans detained by the Haitian Police for attempting to take children out of the country.
[cnn-photo-caption image=http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2010/images/02/22/art.vert.haiti.adoption2.jpg width=292 height=320]
We started looking into the claim and headed over the police department. We were told a group of Americans had been questioned at the airport when they attempted to board a private plane with six kids. The police said the Americans seemed to have questionable paperwork. The Americans were not arrested, but the police said the children were taken from them and placed in a facility where they'd be cared for.
As we started reporting on the story, we found the names of the people questioned. It turns out there were two Americans and one Irish woman with the children at the airport. After doing some searching and calling around, we found out who they were, we interviewed them and they told us what they were doing.

CNN Fact Check: Have Americans turned their backs on overhauling health care?
[cnn-photo-caption image=http://i.l.cnn.net/cnn/2008/POLITICS/01/09/white.house.emails/art.white.house.cnn.jpg caption="The White House laid out a plan on Monday to bridge the gap between Senate and Congress health care bills."]
The Obama administration's attempt to restart its push for an overhaul of the U.S. health insurance system Monday was met with an increasingly common refrain from congressional Republicans: Americans hate it.
The framework the White House laid out Monday is an effort to bridge the gap between bills the Senate and the House of Representatives passed last year.
But Republicans, who are preparing for a televised health care summit with President Barack Obama on Thursday, have urged Democrats to scrap both bills and start over.
House Minority Leader John Boehner said the plan is "based on a partisan bill the American people have already rejected." His Senate counterpart, Kentucky's Mitch McConnell, said Democrats "either aren't listening, or are completely ignoring what Americans across the country have been saying." And California Rep. Wally Herger, the ranking Republican on the House Ways and Means health subcommittee, said Obama "is continuing to ignore that the American people have fundamentally rejected this bill."
Fact Check: How popular are the health care bills?
- The top-line numbers on most polls bear out the GOP assertion. A CNN poll conducted in late January by Opinion Research Corp. found support for health care proposals at 38 percent, with 58 percent opposition; other surveys taken recently show public opinion leaning against the measure by spreads ranging from 3 to 19 percentage points.
- But when pollsters ask more detailed questions, some of the opposition turns out to come not from conservatives, but from liberals who consider the proposed legislation too timid. A CNN-Opinion Research poll in early January found that 45 percent of respondents opposed the bill because it was too liberal, while 10 percent said it wasn't liberal enough.
- And when pollsters ask people for their opinions of elements the bill includes, support tends to go up. CNN's January 8-10 poll found 54 percent of those surveyed support creating a government-run health plan that would compete with private insurers. And 61 percent said they would rather see the plan paid for by taxes on wealthy Americans, as the bill that passed the House of Representatives would levy. Only 29 percent supported the more conservative Senate bill's plan to tax high-end health insurance plans.
- In addition, a Newsweek poll published last week found that 49-40 percent opposition to the Obama plan became 48-43 percent support when respondents were told what the bill included. And an ABC News-Washington Post poll released February 10 found up to 80 percent support for one feature of the White House plan: Barring insurance companies from discriminating against people with pre-existing medical conditions.
Polling suggests GOP leaders are technically correct in calling the health care reform bills broadly unpopular. But more detailed surveys reveal individual elements of the proposed overhauls remain more popular than the idea of "reform" as a whole.

Bill Bennett
There's a lot to say about CPAC. This morning the major papers are highlighting Glenn Beck's speech. I like Glenn a lot and I think he has something to teach us. But not what he offered last night.
Analogizing his own struggles with alcohol to the problems of our polity and in our politics, he said, "Hello, my name is the Republican party, and I have a problem!" "I'm addicted to spending and big government." "It is still morning in America." "It just happens to be kind of a head-pounding, hung-over, vomiting-for-four-hours kind of morning in America. And it's shaping up to be kind of a nasty day. But it is still morning in America." And, again, "I believe in redemption, but the first step to getting redemption is you've got to admit that you've got a problem. I have not heard people in the Republican party yet admit that they have a problem."
Glenn is among the best talkers in the business of broadcast. I am not sure he's a very good listener.

School Supt. Frances Gallo plans to fire all the teachers in the city's only high school as part of a major overhaul ordered by the state education commissioner.
"We need to be able to move this school," Gallo said Tuesday afternoon. "We are persistently in the low-performing category and therefore we have options we must look to."
State Education Commissioner Deborah A. Gist last month ordered Central Falls High School and five schools in Providence — each plagued by abysmally low achievement scores and low graduation rates for several years — to follow one of four specific models for reform.
Gallo said that the 74 teachers can re-apply, but their job descriptions would be different. Under the termination-of-teachers reform model, no more than 50 percent can be re-hired.

Pennsylvania parents are suing their son's school, alleging it watched him through his laptop's webcam while he was at home and unaware he was being observed.
Michael and Holly Robbins of Penn Valley are suing the Lower Merion School District, its board of directors and the superintendent. The parents allege the district unlawfully used its ability to access a webcam remotely on their son's district-issued laptop computer.
The lawsuit seeking class-action status was filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

Ex-rugby star helps subdue violent passenger
A former international rugby player was among the passengers who helped to subdue a man who became violent during a domestic flight Monday, police said.
Aug. 6, 2007, 4:32 PM UTC / Source: The Associated Press
The man apparently became agitated after failing to take his medication and attacked a nearby passenger as the flight from Auckland came in to land at Wellington, Sergeant Roly Gascoine said.
Other passengers, including former New Zealand All Black Ofisa Tonu'u, restrained the man for about 10 minutes and handed him over to police who were waiting when the airplane touched down, Gascoine said.
Tonu'u said the man began swearing and became violent toward the end of the trip. Tonu'u and another man forced the 42-year-old into a seat after seeing him throw punches at another male passenger.
"I managed to pin him down into this aisle seat and then launched myself on him and tried to restrain him from jumping at this guy," he told National Radio. He said he sat on the man until police arrived.
Gascoine said the man had not taken his prescription medicine, without providing details.
Explore New Zealand
Breathtaking and unique, New Zealand is the perfect travel destination.
"He became increasingly agitated during the flight and ultimately assaulted a man sitting near him," he said. "The assault wasn't so serious that there was a real danger to the flight, crew or passengers, but it obviously upset passengers."
The man was detained by police so he could be assessed by mental health authorities.

Russia's floating nuclear power plant ready for operations
Russia's Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation (Rosatom) on Monday said its floating nuclear power unit is ready for commercial operations.
In a statement, Rosatom said the two reactors of the floating power unit (FPU) were successfully brought up to 100 per cent capacity on March 31, and these confirmed operational stability of its main and auxiliary equipment, as well as the automatic process control systems,.
Director General of Rosenergoatom (the Energy Division of Rosatom), Andrei Petrov said that based on the results of these tests, the acceptance certificate for the FPU would be issued by authorities and the operating license will follow suit in July.
At the same time, onshore and hydraulic structures for the floating nuclear power plant (FNPP), as well as infrastructure ensuring the transmission of electricity to the local grid and heating for the city's network, are scheduled to be completed by the end of this year in Pevek in Russia.
The FPU is scheduled to be towed to the Port of Pevek during the summer of 2019 where it will operate as part of a floating nuclear power plant, replacing the capacities of the outgoing Bilibino Nuclear Power Plant and the Chaunskaya CHPP.
It is expected to be connected to the power grid by December 2019. IANS

China Roundup: Tencent's NBA test, TikTok parent deepens education push
Welcome to TechCrunch's China roundup, a digest of events that happened at major Chinese tech companies and what they mean to tech founders and executives around the world.
The talk about U.S.-China relationships over the past two weeks has centered heavily on the NBA controversy, which has put the interest of some of China's largest tech firms at stake. Last week, Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey voiced support for Hong Kong protests in his since-deleted tweet, angering China's NBA fans and prompting a raft of local tech companies to sever ties with the league. But some businesses seem to be back on track.
Tencent, which is famous for a slew of internet products, including WeChat and its Netflix-like video service, has been NBA's exclusive streaming partner since 2009 and recently renewed the deal through the 2024-25 season. As many as 490 million fans in China watched NBA programming through Tencent in just one season this year, the pair claims.
The basketball games are clearly a driver of ad revenue and subscribers for Tencent amid fierce competition in China's video streaming market, but following Morey's statement, the company swiftly announced (in Chinese) it would suspend portions of its broadcast arrangements with the NBA. Popular smartphone brand Vivo and Starbucks's local challenger Luckin also promised to pause collaboration with the NBA.
It was a tough call for businesses having to choose between economic interest and patriotism, and Tencent was tactful in its response, pledging only to "temporarily" halt the streaming of NBA "preseason games (China)." As public anger subsided over the week, Tencent resumed airing NBA preseason games on Monday. After all, the content partnership reportedly cost Tencent a heavy sum of $1.5 billion.
Entertainment giant turns to education
TikTok is probably the Chinese Internet service being most closely watched by the world at the moment. Its parent firm ByteDance, last reportedly valued at $75 billion, has ambitions beyond short videos.
This week, more details emerged on the upstart's education endeavors through a WeChat post by Musical.ly founder Lulu Yang, whose short-video startup was acquired by ByteDance and subsequently merged with TikTok. Yang confirmed he was helping ByteDance to develop an education device in collaboration with phone maker Smartisan's former hardware team, which ByteDance has absorbed. The product, which leverages ByteDance's artificial intelligence capabilities, will be a "robotic learning companion" for K-12 students to use at home.
The news arrived in the same week that ByteDance's flagship video app TikTok announced producing educational content for India, where it's used by 200 million people every month. The move is designed to assuage local officials who have vehemently slammed TikTok for hosting illicit content, as my colleague Manish Singh pointed out.
Diving into education appears to be a sensible move for ByteDance to build relationships with local authorities, which can at times find its entertainment-focused content problematic. The multi-billion-dollar online education industry is also highly lucrative. ByteDance, with 1.5 billion daily users across TikTok, Douyin (TikTok for China), Toutiao news aggregator and other new media apps, is in a good position to monetize the enormous base by touting new services, whether they are educational content or mobile games.
Also worth your time
A total of 53 major video streaming services in China have introduced a "safe mode" for teenagers as of this week, state media reported (in Chinese). During the controls mode, underage users won't be able to search for content, send real-time comments or private messages, upload or share videos, or reward live streaming hosts with virtual gifts. It's part of China's national effort to protect young people from consuming harmful digital content and internet addiction, which has also spawned age checks processes in Tencent games.
Xiaohongshu, a fast-growing social commerce app in China, is back in Android app stores nearly three months after it was banned by the government for undisclosed reasons. Rumors had it that the service, which was reportedly valued at more than $2.5 billion last year, was used to spread pornography and fake reviews. It's hardly the first tech company hit by media regulation, and it can probably learn a thing or two from ByteDance, which has aggressively ramped up its content moderation force following a sequence of crackdowns by the government.
Meituan will partner with 1,000 vocational schools in the country to train as many as 100 million workers from the service industry over the next ten years, the Hong Kong-listed company announced (in Chinese) this week. Food delivery makes up the bulk of the on-demand services giant's business but its footprint spans a wide range. The classes it provides to prepare workers for a digital era will also touch upon skincare, hair styling, manicure, plastic surgery, hospitality and parenting, a program highlighting the extensive reach of technology into Chinese people's every life.
Chinese workers turn out to be big advocates for the application of AI. According to a survey by Oracle and research firm Future Workplace, workers in India (60 percent) and China (56 percent) are the most excited about AI. Japan, where the labor force is shrinking, ranks surprisingly low (25 percent), and the U.S. has an equally mild reaction (22 percent) toward the technology.

This project has been a WIP for a wee while, but I finally got around to buying some teeny tiny buttons to finish them off.
I used a free pattern from Shes Crafty and then added some crochet flowers made with the 100-flower scarf pattern here. The yarn is some brand new baby wool I picked up for a song at our local op-shop. All up I probably spent less than $2 on materials for these but I think they look pretty special.
This was my first time knitting 4ply wool and I discovered it takes a long time to produce much of anything when you are knitting on small needles with fine yarn - I'm usually a DK girl. I knitted these hoping to give them to some friends who had a baby last week, but they had a boy and I'm not sure they'd appreciate pink and white knitted cuteness! I'm hoping my friend who is due in early March is having a girl, otherwise these will have to be added to the gift box. I'm at the age where friends are having babies all the time so they will eventually go to a good home.
They are very sweet. I've just discovered Rowan yarn. Oh my goodness, so beautiful but so expensive!
OMGosh are they cute or what??
So so so cute!! and eeek 4ply. I've not been brave enough to stray there yet.
thanks for blogging about my pattern! I love the little flowers!

'MARVEL'S NEW WARRIORS' HEADED TO FREEFORM WITH STRAIGHT-TO-SERIES ORDER
Series Marks First Comedic Live-Action Show for Marvel Television
Freeform, Marvel Television and ABC Signature announced their second project together, "Marvel's New Warriors," a new comedic live-action adaptation of the popular Marvel comic featuring young adult heroes. This marks Marvel's first foray into comedy for a television series. The network has ordered ten 30-minute episodes slated to debut in 2018.
"Marvel's New Warriors" is about six young people with powers living and working together. With powers and abilities on the opposite end of the spectrum of The Avengers, the New Warriors want to make a difference in the world … even if the world isn't ready. Not quite super, not yet heroes, "Marvel's New Warriors" is about that time in your life when you first enter adulthood and feel like you can do everything and nothing at once – except in this world, bad guys can be as terrifying as bad dates.
The series will feature fan-favorite "Squirrel Girl" (Doreen Green) as a totally empowering fan girl—tough, optimistic and a natural leader. Doreen is confident and has the powers of a squirrel … She's acrobatic, can fight and talk to other squirrels. Her most important trait is that she has faith in people and teaches them to believe in themselves. Additional cast to be announced.
Freeform also has "Marvel's Cloak & Dagger" underway at the network.
"Freeform's mission is to deliver incredible content to young adults, and Marvel Television seamlessly aligns with that mission – we couldn't be more proud to collaborate with them on 'Marvel's New Warriors,'" said Karey Burke, executive vice president, Programming and Development, Freeform.
"'Marvel's New Warriors' have always been fan favorites, and now particularly with the addition of Squirrel Girl, they are Marvel Television favorites as well," said Marvel's head of Television and executive producer Jeph Loeb. "After the amazing experience we've had with Freeform on 'Marvel's Cloak & Dagger,' we can't think of a better place for our young heroes."
The series is co-produced by Marvel Television and ABC Signature Studios. Marvel's Jeph Loeb ("Marvel's The Punisher," "Marvel's The Defenders"), and Jim Chory ("Marvel's The Punisher," "Marvel's The Defenders") serve as executive producers on the series.

Driving around in his SUV with Mariah Carey, Corden asked the superstar diva what gift she wants the most this year, and all she wanted for Christmas was for Corden to sing her holiday hit, "All I Want For Christmas Is You."

And the Late Late Show host was happy to oblige. In fact, not only did he sing the iconic track with Carey, but with (nearly) every guest who joined him for a ride-along throughout the year.
Apparently, Corden's had the idea for this epic mashup since the start of 2016, because as he filmed the segment throughout the year with guests like Gwen Stefani, Lady Gaga, Elton John, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Chris Martin and even Adele, whose "Karaoke" segment aired all the way back in January.
There were a few notable guests missing from the mashup -- including Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, and Bruno Mars, whose own "Carpool Karaoke" segment just aired earlier this week.
The "24K Magic" crooner sat down with Corden on Tuesday, where he got super into singing his own tunes and even showed off his amazing Elvis Presley impression. Check out the video below to see more.

My ONLY dang miss at Comin Atcha 3 years ago was on one of them dang poultry targets; not the 8ft one though. I swear I saw that chicken flinch and move when I broke the shot! Then he laughed at me when I was walking to the unloading table.
Who is Ready for next Year? I mailed my application on the way to work this morning.
I will be looking for an RV so I can stay at the Ranch next year, don't what to missing anything.
I left my 2017 application at the ranch. Lord willin' I'll be there next year.

SHOCKER AT THE QUEEN Vanderford dominates Fodor for title

While the two fighters spent a little time on their feet throwing haymakers and mixing in leg kicks, the majority of the fight was spent on the mat, with Vanderford in a controlling position throughout all five rounds.

Being a fan of mixed martial arts since the first days of the Ultimate Fighting Championship a couple decades ago, this writer has seen his fair share of ho-hum bouts over the years. Occasionally, those forgettable clashes end up snowballing and going down on the same fight night. Nobody wants to be a part of those outcomes, whether it is the promoters, the fighters or the fans. It's rather fitting that so many of these get-togethers happen underneath the bright lights at a casino, because it's a gamble as to how good, great or bad the night is going to be.
It was a night for fast finishes in the first seven bouts, with none making to the third round before a knockout or submission ended each battle. Terrance McKinney slaps a rear naked choke hold on Armando Best to secure his debut victory. photo by Ernie Sapiro Photography
In the case of the recent CageSport 47 at the Emerald Queen Casino, it's fair to say that every roll of the dice came up as some sort of winner for the fight fans in attendance.
While Robert Burgess was able to deliver some big shots, it was Justin Milani who would claim the TKO victory. photo by Ernie Sapiro Photography
With eight matchups on the fight card, there was certainly some room for a groaner or two to sneak its way inside the cage. Fans of mixed martial arts know all about these bouts. Two men enter the field of battle and then three to five rounds later, a couple of thousand yawns are being stifled in the crowd.

It wasn't in the cards on Saturday, Oct. 14. In fact, the flow of the night and the fights went in the opposite direction. Instead of long, drawn-out contests with minimal action, the speed at which fighters were dispatching their opponents began to make this writer think we were going to be wrapping up the fight night in record time. Sure, a little more action would have been great, but how can one argue with seven consecutive contests being wrapped up with either a knockout or a submission? It worked for me, and it worked for the crowd.

As if it was right on cue, the main event then rolled out and the EQC Showroom crowd was rewarded with a five-round CageSport welterweight championship bout that not only went the distance, but ended with a dominating upset by a relative newcomer to the sport.
The first fight of the night began with what felt like a thunderclap that caused much of the crowd to gasp, and I'm certain that quite a few men in attendance suddenly lost sensation in their fingers and toes. When the opening bell rang, Terrance McKinney, making his professional debut, went in for the attack against Armando Best, prepared to make a big, first impression.
McKinney's first salvo of the match was a swift kick that caught Best square in the crotch, buckling his knees a bit and causing a brief pause in the bout.
After catching his breath and gathering his wits together, Best informed the referee that he was ready to get back in the fight. While McKinney surely felt bad about nailing Best in the privates, it appeared to have no effect on his desire to win. In a matter of seconds, McKinney had Best on the mat and began dishing out a little ground and pound. For a couple of heartbeats, it looked as though Best may have an arm-bar in play, but instead, he was quickly flipped around, and McKinney had applied a rear naked choke hold that had Best tapping out in no time.
Up next was a 206-pound contest between Robert Burgess (0-3-0) and Justin Milani (2-8-0). The crowd was easily drawn to Puyallup's Burgess at the beginning of the bout, while offering very little love to Oregon's Milani. The first round was strong for both fighters, with each bruiser delivering some punishment. When the fight went to the mat, Burgess worked his way back to his feet and waited for Milani to get back up and take the fight standing up.
Both fighters had a good look to garner a victory in the second round. Burgess ate a big shot early that sent him to the canvas. The big man was then able to flip the script on Milani for a short time, delivering some big shots on his foe and drawing blood. However, it wouldn't last for Burgess, as Milani gained control and began pummeling Burgess with knees and fists. As the rain of pain continued, the referee had seen enough and stopped the fight. Milani's victory exacted a bit of a charge from the crowd, who gave the fighter a strong round of applause for his hard work.
The third fight of the night was a 145-pound contest between Stephen "Bumblebee" Wing (1-1-0) versus Tyrone "Anaconda" Henderson (2-2-1). To be honest, if you're looking at a matchup between a bumblebee and an anaconda, it's not going to take a rocket scientist to figure out how it's going to go down. Henderson latched on to Wing's arm and wrenched back like a man possessed. Wing tried to spin and roll out of it, but the "Anaconda" wasn't going to be letting go. "Bumblebee" tapped out and would require a sling applied to his arm before exiting the ring.
The fourth fight of the night was a 181-pound affair between Dominique Smith (0-1-0) and Stephen Vasquez (0-1-0). In Vasquez's last fight at the EQC, his debut went sideways with what appeared to be a broken nose, followed by a startling knockout. He wouldn't fare much better against Smith, who looked sharp and on the hunt. Smith was able to get Vasquez into a head and arm lock between his legs and it was going to be trouble for the kid from Omak. A couple of spins on the mat and Smith had Vasquez trapped on his back with nothing to shield his face from the blows that began dropping on him. It took no time for the referee to gauge the dire situation and the fight was stopped.
A new, crowd favorite entered the cage for the fifth fight. Port Orchard's Chris Stone (2-1-0) had a strong contingent of well wishers in attendance and the grappler would reward them for their journey down from the Kitsap Peninsula. After some early good looks from his opponent, Wyatt Gonzalez (1-2-0), Stone found his opening and slapped a choke hold on him. No matter what Gonzalez tried to do, Stone wasn't letting go. It wouldn't take long for Gonzalez to finally tap out and the local crowd went wild.
The sixth fight of the night was an abbreviated contest. Zach "Ex-Con" Conn (6-7-0) would face Lee "American Bulldog" Morrison (14-8-0) in a 173-pound affair. The height difference between the two fighters may have been the largest I've witnessed at the EQC. Conn towered over Morrison by what appeared to be nearly a foot.
Morrison was able to get Conn to the mat and began dropping big bombs on his opponent. Fists and forearms opened up a sizeable cut over Conn's right eye and there was some serious blood pouring everywhere by the end of the round. In between the first and second round, the ring doctor found the gash to be too much to continue safely and the fight was stopped for a Morrison victory.
Up next was one of the quickest fights I have ever seen in person. Elijah Ross (1-1-0) would face Brett Malone (2-0-0) in a 156-pound affair. Before the crowd could barely blink a few times, Malone had ended the bout with a rear naked choke hold. In all, the "semi main event" took just 37 seconds to finish.
CageSport 47 ended with a big surprise in the main event. Newcomer Austin Vanderford (2-0-0) would face a mixed martial arts veteran in Ben Fodor (8-2-1). Most fans know Fodor as the "Seattle Superhero" Phoenix Jones. The last time Fodor fought at the EQC he had captured the CageSport welterweight title. He would then move on to the World Series of Fighting promotion, and the title would go vacant.
Vanderford is easily one of the more well-built fighters I have ever seen in person. He is built like a tank, and when he picked Fodor up midway through the first round and rag-dolled him to the canvas, it was clear that the muscles weren't just for show.
Fodor found himself on the mat, absorbing punishment in each of the five rounds. The performance by Vanderford was absolutely dominating. Fodor was unable to gain any momentum in the bout, and by the end of the third round, he remained on the mat for a short spell, trying to regain some energy or possibly find his whereabouts.
The fourth and fifth rounds continued the trend for Vanderford. When the bell rang to end the fight, there was no doubt in the room about who was going to be leaving the cage with the CageSport welterweight championship belt. Vanderford would capture the title with a unanimous decision from the judges and the final numbers were startling. The three judges scored the fight 50-44, 50-41 and 50-40.
I can't wait to see this kid fight again. As for the night, it was another entertaining success delivered by Brian Halquist Productions. CageSport 48 returns to the EQC on Saturday, Dec. 16, with a 7 p.m. start time. Tickets are available at the EQC box office and through Ticketmaster.

In 1582, a 30-year-old Italian friar arrived in Macau. Matteo Ricci had dedicated his life to spreading the Gospel as a member of the Society of Jesus. And now he was on a mission to enter mainland China from this Portuguese outpost. Chinese authorities at the time frowned upon the presence of foreign missionaries. But in time Ricci would become one of the most important missionaries ever to work in Asia. In fact today a bronze statue of him stands in the heart of Macau, and he remains a household name in China.
Well, his name in Chinese, Li Madou. He chose it for himself as a rendering of his Italian name. But the middle character, 瑪 ("ma"), had a story behind it. It consists of two parts, 王, meaning "king," and 馬, meaning "horse." Ricci chose it in commemoration of his patron, Sebastian the Desired, King of Portugal.
Senado Square, Macau, with its old Portuguese buildings.
Dom Sebastian of Portugal in 1575. Public domain.
In 1578, Sebastian went to war against the Moors in Morocco. In August of that year, when European knights in their metal armors must have baked under the North African sun, Sebastian and much of the Portuguese nobility met the Moors in the Battle of Alcazar. And almost all of them also met their deaths. The last time anyone even saw Sebastian, he was riding bravely on his magnificent steed into the Moorish ranks.
Sebastian was the last of his dynasty, and his death led to a succession crisis in Portugal. After some political turmoil, Philip II of Spain marched into Lisbon and joined the Portuguese crown to the Spanish one. Thus began the Iberian Union, a political arrangement that would last until 1640, under which all of the Iberian Peninsula was now one country.
But it was far more than the Iberian Peninsula. Both Spain and Portugal had possessed vast colonial empires by the late 16th century. The Treaty of Tordesillas of 1494, which supposedly (and with extreme arrogance) divided the non-European world between Spain and Portugal, became meaningless for the time being.
And until the Union, Portugal had been allied with Spain's enemies, England and the Netherlands. Now Portugal fully reversed its foreign policy to fall in line with Spain. So it was that when Queen Elizabeth defeated the Spanish Armada in 1588, among her new enemies were some of her old friends, the Portuguese. The Dutch had in turn rebelled against Spain, which once ruled them. And now they found themselves opposed to the Portuguese as well. In the Americas, this meant war between the Dutch colonies and the Portuguese ones. In 1630, the Dutch won a large chunk of Brazil from Portugal, although they would eventually sell it back for the sake of commerce.
The Iberian Union also spurred the Dutch into action in Asia in order to compete against their rivals, leading to the formation of the Dutch East India Company. The Company went on to found the colony of Batavia, today's Jakarta, Indonesia. It also set up a colony in my birthplace, Taiwan, building a fort they called "Zeelandia," much like the country where I grew up, New Zealand, both named after a province of the Netherlands. Until some six decades after Matteo Ricci's arrival in Macau, when a Chinese general evicted the Dutch from Taiwan once and for all.
I guess the point is, everything comes around to everything else.


HFHNC recently completed a home in Mineola, a total renovation of the Clarkin family's home. Mary, Kathleen, William, Michael, Timothy, and Theresa Clarkin all are developmentally disabled adults. Their five other siblings are their guardians and caretakers. Yes, there are 12 siblings in all. As the Clarkin family home is owned by a trust, three of the siblings—Rosemary, James, and Deborah—also act as trustees.
The family home was left to the seven siblings when their parents passed away many years ago. When the home fell in disrepair, NYS stepped in, promising to pay for any needed repairs. However, this deal fell apart when NYS changed its mind after the seven were moved into a rental home for the duration of the repairs.
Soon after, Mark Waters from Nassau County told HFHNC of the Clarkin family's situation. Even though this was not a typical HFHNC project, we saw a great need and knew that we could really help this family.
Habitat for Humanity of Nassau County is a 501(c)(3) organization committed to increasing the amount of quality, affordable, and suitable housing.
See the FiOS1 News Story!
"I came to New York nearly four decades ago and stayed with a friend because the cost of living here was so high. After a while, my friend had to relocate to Brooklyn. I knew I wanted to raise my family on Long Island, not in the boroughs, so I chose to stay back and rent a place of my own. Raising my children and working for little money was very hard. And it certainly did not leave enough to save for a down-payment on a house.
I remember watching television one evening. A commercial came on about Habitat for Humanity and how they help people get homes. I sat down and wrote a letter saying that my family needed a home – that our situation was difficult and that we would be so grateful. My son has a heart condition, making it difficult to work, and my beautiful granddaughter is developmentally disabled, which is so tough on my daughter. About a week later I received information and an application to fill out.
I remember getting the call, almost one year later saying that our family had been selected for a Habitat home. My daughter walked in while I was on the phone crying my eyes out. I couldn't speak to tell her who was on the phone. When she took the phone and asked the person on the other end what was going on, she began to cry as well.
Our whole family worked on the build – everyone to the best of their ability. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life! This house has changed my life. People come into our home and say they can feel the love inside. I tell them it is the love from the Lord and from Habitat for Humanity.
The house has changed more than just my family's life; it has changed this block…since the house was built, others on our block try harder to keep up their homes. And the bad element has moved on since they know people on the block care and won't have any of it.
My favorite spot in the house is my kitchen. Though I love my living room and each of the bedrooms, and truly enjoy spending time in my yard, my favorite spot in the house is definitely my kitchen…I believe it is the heart of our home. I love to stand in my kitchen and cook for my family and friends, and all the while, I have the feeling of being blessed. I am so blessed to have this beautiful home, family to love and care for, and Habitat for Humanity in Nassau County to help make our family's dreams come true.

More than £30,000 pledged by supporters towards five years of running costs for Wisbech and Fenland Museum

A landmark museum in Wisbech at risk of closure has had £34,000 pledged towards its running costs for the next five years from a group of supporters.
Wisbech and Fenland Museum has seen 11 individuals, one business and six local charities all dig deep to give at least £1,000 every year until 2026.
It comes as the loss of Fenland District Council's annual £60,000 grant towards everyday running costs has left the museum in a potentially unsustainable financial situation.
More 'ReFounders' are being sought before the scheme closes to new donors at the end of December.
The generosity of the group was celebrated at a thank you party at the museum on November 22.
More than 80 friends of the museum, trustees and volunteers joined the ReFounders to relish a witty speech from acclaimed Dickens scholar Professor Michael Slater MBE, and to raise a glass to the efforts underway to save the UK's second oldest surviving provincial museum.
Chairman of the museum board, Richard Barnwell, thanked Mayor Cllr Peter Human for the generosity of Wisbech Town Council.
They have increased their annual grant from £5,000 to £20,000 after Fenland District Council slashed its contribution - which will cease altogether in 2020.
Vice-chairman of the museum board, David Ball, said: "We thank the organisations and individuals who have been so generous but even with this help and the pledges we have so far, we won't cover our day to day expenses from 2021, when the Fenland District Council monies run out.
"We do bid for and receive grants but all are restricted to specific projects. We cannot use that money to pay wages, keep the lights on and the doors open."
He announced that a patrons' scheme involving a much lower level of contribution than the ReFounders will be launched in April 2019.
The museum houses an eclectic collection of intriguing items including the original manuscript of Dickens' Great Expectations bequeathed to the trustees in 1869 by the Rev Chauncy Hare Townshend.
For more information on the museum, which is open Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 4pm, call 01945 583817 or email info@wisbechmuseum.org.uk


Following on from my post about the MOOC that began 23 October 2017, I've only just discovered a relatively new site that reproduces lots of material relating to going to the theatre, put together by the British Library's prolific Lead Curator of News and Moving Image, Luke McKernan.
What I particularly like about this approach is that he brings to the fore descriptions often written by ordinary people, not just professional critics. There are links to online versions if they exist and "no distinction or qualification is made about the form of the memory recorded. All written records, and all memories, are subjective".
It's interesting to see how often these descriptions talk about other members of the audience and their reactions, as well as subjects don't have much to do with the play. Some of them, like Thomas Platter's writings, have provided us with lots of information about what Shakespeare's theatre was like. This entertaining site is regularly updated and very much worth signing up for. While you're at it do take a look at Luke's companion blog, Picturegoing, that does the same thing for film history. You'll find a link from the About page of Theatregoing.
This entry was posted in Legacy, Shakespeare on Stage and tagged British Library, Luke McKernan, performance, Theatregoing. Bookmark the permalink.
What a neat idea! Will the site include the theatergoers from Shakespeare's time and the various diary type entries we have about people who were eyewitnesses to his plays?
Hello Cassidy yes some of these are already on the site though the few comments we have from Shakespeare's original audiences are very well known and I would guess easy to find elsewhere. Enjoy the site though!
Thank you for the generous notice of the Theatregoing site. Originally the site was to have been called Shakespeare Watching (a bad title) and devoted to all forms of Shakespearean performance, stage and screen. Somehow the idea didn't quite work, so it became Theatregoing instead. I like the ordinary theatregoer's point of view, especially where they record something of the full experience of theatregoing. Uncomfortable seats I find as interesting as a fine performance. I'm keen to hear from anyone who has examples of eyewitness testimony that I could use – contact me via the site.

Sci-Hub és un lloc web i motor de cerca amb uns 80 milions d'articles acadèmics i documents científics de lliure accés per via il·legal. Opera des de servidors situats a Rússia, cosa que evita que arribe el sistema legal dels Estats Units.

Permet cercar pel títol o pel DOI. Quan aconsegueix un article que no havia trobat i piratejat abans, guarda una còpia per a cerques posteriors. Va ser creat el 2011 per la kazakh Alexandra Elbakyan com a reacció a l'elevat cost dels articles científics darrere els paywalls.

L'obtenció de l'accés als documents acadèmics es fa mitjançant credencials (identificació de l'usuari i la contrasenya), alguns dels quals han sigut facilitats per acadèmics voluntàriament. Les editorials afectades han acusat d'utilització del phishing mitjançant correus electrònics per a enganyar acadèmics, cosa que negà Alexandra Elbakyan.

L'editorial acadèmica Elsevier ha presentat una querella a Nova York al·legant infraccions de drets d'autor per part de Sci-Hub. A Elbakyan se l'ha comparada amb Aaron Swartz i Edward Snowden.

Quan a la plataforma amb la mateixa naturalesa LibGen no es troben els documents que se cerquen, el lloc web suggereix automàticament cercar a Sci-Hub.

Història
El 2011 Alexandra Elbakyan fundà el lloc web. L'èxit del lloc web ha sigut interpretat com a senyal dels alts preus per a l'accés de molts documents acadèmics i el fracàs del moviment d'accés obert.

L'octubre de 2015 un jutge de Nova York condemnà Alexandra Elbakyan a causa de la querella presentada per Elsevier el 2013. No va tindre efectes més enllà del tancament del domini acabat en ".org".

El 2016 arribà a alliberar de la condició de pagament uns 50 milions d'articles. L'editorial més saquejada fou Elsevier; les disciplines consultades són variades i els usuaris són de tot el món, incloent països que no són del Primer Món. L'accés és més dens als campus universitaris europeus i estatunidencs. S'estimà que el dany provocat a Elsevier consisteix en un 5 % del seu tràfic potencial.

Crítiques negatives
Un dels arguments que donen els detractors és que part dels usuaris tenen de fet l'accés de manera legal en les biblioteques de les institucions on treballen o estudien. Per tant accedirien per comoditat i no per necessitat. Aquesta observació és ratificada per una investigació sobre el conjunt de dades d'accessos fets pels usuaris de Sci-Hub.

Major call for Liverpool to host 2030 World Cup Final
Northern leaders urge tournament bid to be based around the north - and our city could hold the biggest game of all

Northern leaders have called on Prime Minister Boris Johnson to make staging the 2030 World Cup in the North of England the key focus of the UK's bid to host the competition.
Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram has joined other northern leaders to urge Mr Johnson to base the tournament in the northern heartlands where football was born - and provide a major boost to the areas economy.
And Mayor Rotheram said he believed as the 'home of football' - Liverpool would be best placed to host the tournament's showpiece final.
Holding the World Cup in the North would bring a massive injection of cash, jobs and tourism to areas most in need of an economic boost.

Mayor Rotheram said the showpiece World Cup Final in 2030 should be held in the North of England.
He told the Mirro r: "If Government is serious about rebalancing our country, then awarding a northern city the opportunity to host the biggest game in football would be a massive statement of intent."

Mayor Rotheram has joined forces with Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham and Sheffield City Region Mayor Dan Jarvis to make the case, and it is understood Culture Secretary Nicky Morgan is supportive.
Mr Burnham said: "The North of England is arguably the strongest football heartland in the world. To the world footballing community, the pull would be immense.
"The Government needs to turn their words about the North into proper commitments."

Mr Jarvis added: "The North of England is the home of football. There's no more fitting place to host a World Cup, and we need the PM to do his utmost to make it a reality."
Leeds, Sunderland, Sheffield and Newcastle are among other northern cities that could host matches.
It is felt a World Cup based largely in the North of England could provide a much needed economic boost to a part of the country that has fallen behind in recent times.

With millions of fans pouring in for games hotels, bars, restaurants and shops would enjoy a cash bonanza.
New transport links, improved infrastructure and bigger stadiums would also provide tens of thousands of jobs.
Regional leaders are hoping the bulk of the games will be played in the North and perhaps even the semi-finals and final.

Stadiums like Anfield and Old Trafford are already big enough to host World Cup games - Everton's planned new Bramley Moore Dock stadium would also be a fine arena to host such high profile games.
Mayor Rotheram claimed the city of Liverpool is a natural choice because of its football history in England and Europe.
He said: "As England's most successful footballing city, home to the current world and European Champions and with more league titles than any other city in the country, we are, without doubt, the nation's footballing capital.
"By 2030, we will have two world-class stadiums with increased capacity at Anfield and a new home for Everton on the banks of the River Mersey.
"It's time for government to show their commitment to the Northern Powerhouse by letting the nation's football powerhouse host the World Cup final."
A major media centre would need to be built in the chosen city, which would create more jobs.
