Knicks Make It Official: Lin Is Gone
By HOWARD BECK JULY 17, 2012

Jeremy Lin is heading to Houston, leaving the bright lights of Broadway and a legion of heartbroken Knicks fans behind. Linsanity, the exhilarating rush sparked by Lin's meteoric rise to fame, is over, at least in New York.
The Knicks cut ties with Lin on Tuesday night, ending a brief, spectacular and now-bittersweet love affair between Lin, a 23-year-old point guard, and an adoring fan base. Lin will play next season for the Houston Rockets, who signed him to a three-year, $25.1 million offer sheet that the Knicks chose not to match.
The Knicks conveyed their intentions to Lin sometime after 10 p.m., less than two hours before the deadline to make the decision, and several hours after The New York Times reported that Lin would be let go.
After hours of silence, a Knicks spokesman ended any remaining suspense with a brief statement around 10:45 p.m., saying simply, "I can confirm we are not matching." The Knicks offered no explanation or further comment. It was unclear when, or if, team officials would address the matter, but the Rockets said Lin would be introduced as a member of the team at a news conference Thursday.
The final decision for the Knicks rested with James L. Dolan, the Madison Square Garden chairman, and Dolan was the only one who could reverse it as the final hours ticked away Tuesday. But by midafternoon, a person briefed on the situation said the deliberations had ended.
"It is done," the person said.
The decision was said to be financial, not emotional. Lin's contract contains a third-year balloon payment of $14.9 million, which would have cost the Knicks another $35 million or more in luxury-tax penalties. This so-called poison pill was devised by the Rockets to dissuade the Knicks from matching, and it proved effective.
"We were comfortable with the money we were going to give Jeremy, and we hoped they wouldn't match," Daryl Morey, the Rockets' general manager, said in a telephone interview. "But it's hard to know what was the key to their decision."
Because the Rockets are well below the luxury-tax threshold, Lin's contract will cost them only its face value. Also, under the N.B.A.'s arcane rules, the Rockets will be charged an average of the salary, $8.37 million a year, for salary-cap purposes, instead of taking the $14.9 million hit in 2014-15. Thus, the deal is more manageable for the Rockets than it would have been for the Knicks.
Knicks officials ultimately concluded that it made more sense to pay two veteran point guards, Jason Kidd and Raymond Felton, a combined $7 million in 2014-15, than to spend $50 million or more to keep Lin, who has yet to play a full season as a starter.
So the Knicks' most popular player in more than a decade, who rose from obscurity, saved their season and became a global sensation, is gone. He will join a young, rebuilding Rockets team that is pushing hard to land Dwight Howard, the Orlando Magic's disgruntled star center.
Lin spent just 26 games as the Knicks' primary point guard last season, but it was a memorable, often spectacular run, filled with buzzer-beating shots, dazzling passes and bold drives to the rim. It began with a seven-game winning streak that electrified the Garden and spawned a household word: Linsanity. Along the way, Lin outdueled Kobe Bryant in a victory over the Los Angeles Lakers and outshone Dirk Nowitzki to beat the Dallas Mavericks. His fame grew exponentially because of his unique profile: a Harvard graduate and Taiwanese-American who went undrafted and was waived twice before finding his niche with the Knicks.

A knee injury, and subsequent surgery, ended Lin's magical run in late March. He averaged 18.5 points and 7.6 assists in that run — statistics that would place him among the N.B.A.'s top point guards if he had sustained them for a full season. Yet Lin also had an above-average turnover rate, and he struggled against some of the league's top defensive teams, notably the Miami Heat, who harassed him into 1-for-11 shooting and eight turnovers on Feb. 23.
Despite Lin's great promise, his portrait remains incomplete. He is clearly better than the scouting reports suggested when he went undrafted in 2010. Still unknown is whether he will be a star, a flash in the pan or merely a very good point guard. He was brilliant in the former coach Mike D'Antoni's offensive system, but it was unknown how he might fare in the more traditional offense of D'Antoni's successor, Mike Woodson.
Whatever he may become, it will happen with the Rockets, who have placed a great deal of faith and money in Lin.
Houston was the second team (after Golden State) to waive Lin last December. At the time, the Rockets had two capable point guards and needed to clear cap room. Morey, who has been a fervent believer in Lin's talent, said he was "thrilled to have him back in Houston." While acknowledging some risk, Morey said, "Jeremy is an extremely, extremely good risk."
Morey added, "I think if you combined his underrated athleticism with his work ethic and intelligence, you have a player that we'd bet on every time."
The Knicks' decision ended two weeks of suspense and speculation, which began when Lin became a restricted free agent July 1. Now comes the inevitable backlash from an embittered fan base that is suspicious of the Knicks' motives and already disdainful of Dolan's leadership.
Fans started at least two online petitions to keep Lin in recent days, after it became apparent the Knicks were leaning toward letting him go. As the news spread Tuesday, fans on Twitter lashed out at Dolan and Knicks management. Some renounced their loyalty to the team and said they would root for the Brooklyn-bound Nets.
All of the team's top executives, including Dolan, General Manager Glen Grunwald and Woodson, were in Las Vegas for the N.B.A.'s summer league. Amar'e Stoudemire, the Knicks' star forward, also visited with them for a time. All left without speaking to reporters.
The Knicks wanted to keep Lin, but his situation was complicated. Because he was a restricted free agent, the Knicks had the right to match any offer. Yet under N.B.A. rules, they could offer him no more than $16.13 million in a three-year deal, and a maximum of $28.75 million over five years. Only a rival team was allowed to include the third-year balloon payment.
So it was up to Lin to set his own market value by getting an outside offer. He initially agreed with Houston on a three-year, $19.5 million deal, including a $9.3 million balloon payment in the third year. That deal was agreed to in principle but never signed.
When it became apparent that the Knicks would match that offer — and having lost point guards Kyle Lowry and Goran Dragic — the Rockets decided to increase the third-year salary to $14.9 million. That $5 million bump would have cost the Knicks an extra $21.25 million, including tax penalties.
So the Knicks will head into next season with a point guard platoon of Kidd and Felton, both of whom have more experience than Lin but carry their own caveats. Kidd, a 10-time All-Star, is 39 and is no longer playing at an elite level. Felton, 28, has been solid in seven N.B.A. seasons, but he is coming off the worst year of his career, averaging 11.4 points and 6.5 assists for Portland after showing up out of shape.
Before Stoudemire left the arena in Las Vegas, a young male fan asked to take a photograph with him. The fan wore a blue T-shirt with Lin's No. 17 printed on the front. They smiled at the camera, blissfully unaware of Lin's fate. The photograph may be a bittersweet souvenir: a final snapshot of a phenomenon that is now part of the Knicks' past.

Recently I wrote here about how I had started to shoot 35mm film again and that I had bought a Canon EOS 5. Well this seems to have really given me the bug for film as I now have a second 35mm camera to add to my collection. This one though couldn't be more different from EOS 5, it's a Russian built Fed 2 (Type C2) built around 1958 and I have to say that this little camera has blown me away. The Fed 2 is basically a clone of a Leica, or to put it more accurately the Fed 1 was a loose clone of the Leica I and the Fed 2 evolved from that. So similar is the Fed 2 to both the Leica I and Leica II that sadly it is not uncommon for fake Leicas to have been constructed from the body of a Fed 2. Whilst these little cameras do not offer the same quality of a Leica they are packed with charm and can produce some surprisingly good results and whilst a Leica can cost anywhere from £200 to £3000, you can pick up a Fed 2 for around £25.


Monarch of the Glen by Sir Edwin Landseer.
One of Scotland's most famous images, The Monarch of the Glen, can be seen at Kirkcudbright Galleries.
Painted by Sir Edwin Landseer (1802-73), the picture was commissioned as part of a series of three panels to hang in the Palace of Westminster in London.
It was acquired for the nation in March after it was put up for sale for the first time in 100 years, by the international drinks company, Diageo Scotland Ltd.
After a four month fundraising campaign the purchase was made possible thanks to the enormous support from the public, The National Lottery, Art Fund, private trusts and foundations, the Scottish Government and by a part gift by Diageo, who agreed to gift half the estimated market value of the painting to allow NGS the opportunity to acquire the work for £4 million.
The National Lottery and Scottish Government also gave additional funds to enable the painting to go on tour in Scotland.
Through the widespread use of the painting in commercial advertising and in popular culture, the picture has become instantly recognisable yet it remains an extremely powerful work of art and a rich source of debate about issues of history and identity.
As well as visiting Kirkcudbright the painting will also tour three other venues as part of the National Galleries on-going commitment to sharing its collection and working in partnership with communities across Scotland.
Sir John Leighton, director-general of the National Galleries of Scotland, said: "Thanks to the generosity of The National Lottery and the Scottish Government we are able to take this fantastic picture across the country to be enjoyed by as many people as possible.
The Monarch of the Glen will be on show at Kirkcudbright Galleries until May 12, 2018.

Folio Society Is Doing Special Editions for All of A Song of Ice and Fire...If It's Ever Finished
Judy Garland's remains were recently moved, for a surprisingly sweet reason

The Folio Society recently announced that it was releasing a special collector's edition of A Game of Thrones, the first novel in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. Now, on the cusp of the series finale for HBO's Game of Thrones, it looks like we can expect even more—the entire A Song of Ice and Fire, including those famously still-unwritten books. Of course, that all depends on whether Martin ever finishes them.
In a statement to io9, the Folio Society's representative confirmed that it was following up its A Game of Thrones hardcover edition with other books in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. The publisher says the project is a collaborative with Martin, who's been involved "every step of the way." The first book is available for preorder, and is set to come out on July 16. You can see a preview below:

There are no planned release dates for the rest of the completed books in the series, as Folio Society's representative explained that each one takes a lot of time to illustrate and complete. However, they did say there are plans to do special hardcover editions for both The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring, the final two books in A Song of Ice and Fire that Martin is reportedly working on (the author recently denied reports that he'd already completed them).
In the meantime, Game of Thrones is completing its eight-season run on Sunday, following its surprising and somewhat controversial penultimate episode, "The Bells." It's still unclear how much last two books will mirror what we've seen on the final episodes of Game of Thrones, but Martin has said there may be discrepancies.

CIMM's Clarke Wants More Multi-Platform Measurement
Beet. TV, Videos
September 27, 2019 by Beet. TV
There may be several competing digital media measurement standards already out in the marketplace, but Jane Clarke thinks they don't capture the full picture, so she wants to plug the gap.
Clarke has led the Coalition for Innovative Media Measurement (CIMM) since it was formed in 2009 by television content providers, media agencies and advertisers to explore ways to measure audiences in the United States.
CIMM explores and identifies new methodologies and approaches to audience measurement through proof-of-concept pilot studies with independent measurement companies.
And the emerging, fragmented new TV ecosystem is causing CIMM to be pretty busy.
"There's all forms of new TV exposure data that's coming into the market and it's a little bit of a wild west right now," Clarke tells Beet.TV in this video interview. "If you're a running an attribution study now for the same campaign across four different or five different providers, you'll get wildly different results."
Fragmentation continues to be the bugbear of the industry, the flip-side consequence of the explosion in plurality of viewing devices and viewing choices now on offer to consumers.
After the initial movement in which TV broadcasters went online, the subscription video (SVOD) wave has boomed whilst 2019 sees new attention on advertiser-supported OTT services.
That adds up to many sources of data which can be used to measure viewing – including from set-top boxes, automated content recognition and direct from device manufacturers. The trouble is, there is insufficient holistic data, Clarke says.
"The problem for the content providers is, they're putting their content out in all these places, but they really can't see a unified picture of how their content and their competitors' content is doing on all these platforms," she tells Beet.TV.
"We actually just completed doing an SVOD content measurement comparison across all the different providers out there. Because the problem is that some of them measure on the television, some measure on mobile devices and TV and computers.
"But there right now is not one provider that can measure original new content on SVOD platforms' library content across television, mobile and computers."
Why not just leave it to Nielsen and comScore, which also have significant efforts underway to extend their traditional panel-based TV measurement services?
Because "CIMM's all about competition and innovation", Clarke says, adding that a monopoly or duopoly in the media measurement space would not be good for the market.
This video is part of a series of interviews conducted during Advertising Week New York, 2019. This series is co-production of Beet.TV and Advertising Week. The series is sponsored by Roundel, a Target company. Please see more videos from Advertising Week right here.

Legend players
1 - 20 of 149 Posts
piotrek:)
In one of threads we've talked about players from 90-91 Sampdoria team.Of course they are part of Sampdoria Legend...But any other?
Please write down players who are (and will be) remembered, who made great things for Sampdoria, who are club sign.I would like to know them very much.
For me such a player is of course Roberto Mancini :star: :strong:
"To nic że długi jest marsz..."
bogliaschino
If you don't count players from 90-91 then there aren't many afterwards, as even though we've had countless great players (Veron, Seedorf, Platt, Jugovic, Ortega, Montella, Gullit, Chiesa, etc) most didn't stick around for enough to really be regarded as Samp legends, even if they were idols at the time (though I have a bit of a soft spot for Montella!). The only player in the current squad to came near to that status is probably Flachi, though a few more have a chance if they stay for a while longer and achieve something.
Before that I'm not really sure - someone slightly older than me can probably help me here!
ToniSamp
Good thread, Piotrek. :thmbup:
As regards me I started to follow Sampdoria in 1982-83. At the beginning of that season Paolo Mantovani made some extraordinary purchases. First of all he bought the not-yet-18 years old Mancini from Bologna for an incredible amount of money considering the age of il Mancio. Then he bought Liam Brady, who had just won 2 scudetti in his 2 seasons at Juve and had been sold by Juventus just cause there was room just for 2 foreign players and Juve was going to get Boniek and Platini. And the third great purchase of that season was the English ace Trevor Francis.
Trevor Francis was a formidable forward but he was damn fragile. I remember a map of his injuries when he was at Sampdoria, he spent more or less a half of the games out for injuries. And that was a pity cause with Trevor Francis the score of Sampdoria was fantastic. Season 1982-83: Sampdoria are just promoted to serie A and they must face Juventus, Inter and Roma in the first three games. Three incredible wins! Unfortunately Trevor Francis gets heavily injured in the game against Roma and in the following game against the historical rival Pisa at Arena Garibaldi Sampdoria loses 3-2. Trevor Francis will miss the following 16 games and the score of Sampdoria in those games will be very mediocre.
The following season will be similar for Francis, but in 1984-85 he becomes the leader of the team which gains the 4th place in serie A and wins the Italian Cup. Francis is also the top scorer in the Italian Cup. The Scottish ex-Liverpool midfielder Graeme Souness is the other foreigner in that season. He has replaced Liam Brady, who moved to Inter. Souness is famous for his fantastic long passes but also for the temper. The temper of Souness, together with the excess of forwards (four: Vialli, Mancini, Francis, Lorenzo for two places) originates the crisis of Samp in 1985-86, when the team is almost relegated. But, in spite of that mediocre season, the team of 1990-91 was forming, with the promising youngsters Mannini, Vierchowod, Pari, Vialli who had joined in the period 1983-86.
Perhaps rather an Inter legend than a Samp legend, I feel I must mention Lennart "Nacka" Skoglund. He did a couple of seasons at Samp after leaving Inter and was truly a great player. He took part in the silver-medal winning team of 1958 and always played on the left wing. Unfortunately he is also a player very much connected with Hammarby ( :yuck: ) here in Sweden, and died as an alcoholic in the 70s (Hammarby, or "Bajen", is known is a bit of a bohemian, or rather hobo club in Sweden).

What with Montella?
He played for us quite long time,he was Samp capitan and he scored some important goals...How Samp supporters finding this player?
Montella was a great player, and I'm convinced that had he not been injured for most of his last season with us we wouldn't have got relegated (anyone else remember him and Ortega destroy Inter 4-0?).
However, he only stayed for us for 3 years which isn't really that much, so that's why I personally didn't count him as a Samp legend. For example, Volpi and Palombo (and Bazzani, though he was away for 6 months..) have been with Samp for 3 years now, but despite what we've achieved in that time would you count them as Samp legends?
And what with legend coaches?
I guess that Vujadin Boskov may be called this way
I think that in the period I followed Boskov is the only one who deserves the title of "legend". Eriksson was a great coach but his successes came above all in other clubs.

What I don't understand is why the Samp Ultras turn on their legends
Yes, Mancio was not the first
Toni can gladly tell you the name of the other legernd for Sampdoria that the fans turned against
I can't remember his name but it was acknowledged by him a few months ago in a post somewhere
WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER GIACINTO FACCHETTI, LEGEND OF THE INTERNAZIONALE AND ITALIAN GAME roud:
Pulsar36 said:
Mancini, Pagliuca and Vierchowod.
There is a good reason or a debatable reason for all of them. What is certain is that the supporters prefer to love the legends rather than turn against them, but what is also certain is that we cannot kiss the ass of the legends forever when they show that they don't care for their old supporters any more... nor for the team in which they spent their life gaining millions.
ToniSamp said:
What are actually feelings among Samp supporters and Mancini?
piotrek:) said:
There are two different factions: those who love him and those who hate him. The second faction grew after the last season and while he received above all indifference during the last game and was contested just at the end of it, I'm quite certain that he will be sonorously booed during the next Samp-Inter.
SampViking
I adore the legend #10 Mancini, he gave us his best. Mancio has a new job now which includes giving Inter its best, unfortunently. Beating Inter last season at home was OUR job, not his! Seing him do his best against us is not pleasant but I prefer to remember him in our colours. Being an "allenatore" at Inter is a stressful insecure job. I don´t wish him the best there, that is for sure. Playing with is heart, mind and soul for Samp last decade during our best years, he will allways be a legend in my mind......... I am sure he has a place in his heart for Samp and that a big one.
Roberto Mancini had his best years as a player playing for us and gave me too many memorable moments for me to understand our fans giving him that welcoming at Marassi.......
Sampan
Mancini undoutedly lies in our hearts for ever no matter where he goes and and what he does.
:heart: La Sampdoria sarà nel mio cuore per sempre! :heart:
ForeverSamp
Correct me if I´m wrong but didn´t Mancini go to the press and promised the Lazio fans that he never would leave them when he already had signed a contract with Inter. I don´t know if this is true or not, but if it is it´s pretty low :thmbdown: Still I belong to the people who love him for what he did in Samp, he is, no doubt about it, in my eyes a true legend.
Here´s one, probably not a legend (and if he is it´s probably in Milan) but as I recalled it, a great teamplayer. Alberigo Evani. Don´t remember to much about him, only that he played out on the left and always did a deacent job for Samp, and I also vagly remeber him scoring a goal for italy in an international tornament. Anyone care to refreash my memory....
ForeverSamp said:
Yes, Alberigo Evani was a very underrate player, at least at Sampdoria.
A modern winger on the left flank,the kind of player every coach loves, when he joined us in 1993 coming from the SuperMilan many people thought that he was already on the way down. Instead he was very useful for Sampdoria and even for the NT, infact he was convoked by Sacchi for the WC and played some minutes in the final of the WC 1994 against Brazil, when he replaced Dino Baggio in the extratime and scored an unfortunately useless PK in the PKs tiebreaker.
Probably the fact that he has been a legend for Milan (he also scored the winning goal against Higuita's Medellin in an Intercontinental Cup) prevented him from becoming a favourite of the supporters of Sampdoria, infact he is hardly mentioned.

Beach Wheelchair Debuts At Pelham Bay Park

Orchard Beach is now the most wheelchair-friendly beach in New York City.
On Thursday, July 7 the supporters of the Bronx Riviera unveiled two brand-new beach wheelchairs. They will allow wheelchair-bound beachgoers to roll along the sand, right up to the water's edge. No other beach in the city has the specialized wheelchair.
Lizbeth Gonzalez, president of Friends of Pelham Bay Park, said the idea to bring the wheelchairs to Orchard Beach came from an ongoing mission to make the park's amenities more available.
"We realized that the common thread that brought everything together was increased access to the park," Gonzalez said. "And we figured, why shouldn't everybody have access to the beach on hot, sunny days?"
Friends of Pelham Bay Park and the city Department of Parks and Recreation came up with the wheelchair program during its spring 2011 meetings. Previously, any visitor to Orchard Beach who was confined to a wheelchair could only go as far as the existing walking path would take them.
The new wheelchairs are waterproof, although the Parks Department does not expect they will be allowed into the surf.
The wheelchairs' large, wide wheels allow users to be pushed along the beach without sinking into the sand. Victor Calise, accessibility coordinator was one of the first people to take a spin in the new wheelchair.
"It handled great," Calise said. "I loved it. I was comfortable and I liked that it reclined, so it was like having a mobile beach chair."
Each wheelchair cost $2,000. The money was raised by Friends of Pelham Bay Park. Large donors included the Bronx Chamber of Commerce, city-wide clothing retailer V.I.M., Schuyler Hill Funeral Home, as well as individual supporters.
The money was raised in part through a golf tournament and fundraiser in March. In total, $15,500 raised, so Friends of Pelham Bay Park now has a surplus. Pelham Bay Park commissioner Marianne Anderson said the wheelchairs would be a tremendous asset and could lead to more initiatives for disabled visitors.
Anyone who wishes to use a beach wheelchair can reserve one through the park administrator's office.

In this paper, constant-stress Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) is studied when the lifetime of test units follows Power Generalized Weibull (PGW) distribution. The Maximum Likelihood Estimates (MLEs) and Bayes Estimates (BEs) of the model parameters are obtained under type-II progressive censoring. Moreover, the approximate and credible Confidence Intervals (CIs) of the parameters are derived. The optimal stress level is discussed under D-optimality criterion. Furthermore, a real dataset is analyzed to show the suggested methods. Moreover, this real dataset is used to show the role of PGW distribution as an alternative to the other well-known distributions. Finally, simulation studies are conducted to demonstrate the precision of the MLEs and BEs for the parameters of PGW distribution.

Why chewing gum can actually be good for your teeth.
Back in the days of super-sugary formulas, chewing gum got a pretty bad rap. However, as long as you're making the right choices, it can actually help to clean your teeth! The act of chewing gum increases the flow of saliva in your mouth, and this washes away food particles that would otherwise cling to the surfaces of your teeth. Increased saliva flow also neutralizes the acids in your mouth after eating.
Obviously, sugar-free is a must. This is most likely not a surprise to you, but gum that contains sugar is always a no-go. Read about how sugar affects your teeth here.
Look for xylitol. Some chewing gum now contains a sugar replacement called xylitol, which actually prevents cavity-causing bacteria from adhering to your teeth.
Look for casein. Another ingredient, casein, may have positive effects on the strength of your tooth enamel.
While all of this is good news, it's important to remember that chewing gum should never replace proper dental hygiene – that's twice-daily brushing and flossing, and regular professional cleanings. Click here to see our guide to tooth brushing and toothpastes, here to read about how to learn to love flossing (or at least not hate it), and here to book your hygiene appointment. And lastly, remember that everything should be enjoyed in moderation – too much gum chewing can lead to jaw joint pain and muscle stiffness, so chew wisely!

The biggest job in CTA history: $2.1 billion Red-Purple Line project starts this fall
By Mary Wisniewski
The CTA is waiting for permits to start major construction on its Red and Purple Line modernization project, but plans to begin the work early this fall, officials said Thursday.
In the meantime, the agency is letting Lakeview residents, local business owners and riders know what to expect before the biggest job in its history. The $2.1 billion job will not be finished until 2025.
"It's very important to me that the community understand what we're doing," said CTA President Dorval Carter, speaking at a media briefing Thursday that took reporters on a tour of the construction area. The agency has held hundreds of community meetings and has been handing out business cards and information pamphlets to make sure people know what's coming, Carter said.
The first part of the project will involve digging 70-foot-deep holes to prepare for new track foundations for the Red-Purple bypass, which will carry northbound Brown Line trains over Red and Purple Line tracks north of the busy Belmont station. The bypass will replace a 112-year-old rail junction that carries about 150,000 riders every weekday.
he bypass is the best-known and most controversial part of the project, since it will mean a tall bridge over the current tracks and a change to the Lakeview skyline.
But also crucially important to CTA traffic flow is the rebuilding of the Red and Purple Line bridge that runs beneath the planned bypass, said Chris Bushell, the CTA's senior vice president for infrastructure.
Right now, both the northbound Brown Line tracks and the Red and Purple Line tracks just north of Belmont curve back and forth, like the letter "S." Riders on the lines can feel the slowly moving trains jerk around on the curves that frequently need maintenance.
The reconstruction work will straighten the tracks.
Riders curious about what is being fixed can go to the north end of the Belmont station platform to see the tangle of tracks and switches, the red lights that stop Red and Purple Line trains and the swiveling track formation.
The new bypass will be built just east of the current northbound Brown Line track, and will be about the height of a four-story building.
Both the bypass and the new Red-Purple bridge will have a closed, concrete base instead of an open track bed, which will mean the "L" will be a lot quieter, Bushell said. "Now it's so noisy when you're underneath it, you can't hear yourself think," he said.
Making the changes will allow the CTA to run trains more frequently on the Red Line, because the trains won't have to slow down as much on curves and Red and Purple Line trains won't have to stop to let the Brown Line trains through, Bushell said.
"It's not just a North Side issue …" Bushell said. "It will improve capacity throughout the whole system."
Service will continue on all lines during construction, though Red and Purple Line service will sometimes have to be reduced from four tracks to two between Belmont and Newport Avenue, CTA officials said.
Carter recalled that Bushell first came to him to talk about the need for the project back in 2007, so it has been discussed by the agency for a long time. The CTA is paying for it through a combination of federal funds and tax-increment financing.
Construction of the bypass and track realignment and reconstruction will take place between this fall and the winter of 2024. Reconstruction of the Red Line stations at Lawrence, Argyle, Berwyn and Bryn Mawr, along with the rebuilding of six miles of track, viaducts and other structures between the stations, will begin in late 2020 and continue through spring of 2024.
The CTA also will put in a new signal system along the corridor to allow for more trains and more reliable service, the agency said. That work will start in early 2021, and continue through early 2025, the CTA said.

This year, the Hamptons International Film Festival (HIFF) is helping a lucky group of East End-based budding filmmakers further their filmmaking dreams by awarding scholarships to five graduating seniors.
"Our youth are the next generation of storytellers, and it is important that HIFF continue to provide access to the filmmaking arts," explained Anne Chaisson, Executive Director. "Our goal is to give students the opportunity to discover what inspires them, and to explore their dreams."
Launching with support from The Hilaria & Alec Baldwin Foundation, the inaugural HIFF scholarship fund will commemorate one student from Southampton, East Hampton, Bridgehampton, The Ross School, and Pierson High School in Sag Harbor. In addition to receiving $1,000, the honorees will also be awarded a HIFF Filmmaker Discovery Package so they can take in firsthand what happens when your dreams come to fruition during the 25th anniversary Hamptons International Film Festival.
Additionally, for the first time ever, HIFF will award two full-admission scholarships to students to attend the annual Summer Student Filmmaking Workshops in the Hamptons. During the workshops, HIFF will provide a creative outlet for students as HIFF mentors cover a comprehensive introduction to filmmaking, leaving attendees with the know how to successfully kick start their own projects. The Summer Student Filmmaking Workshops will be held at Guild Hall in East Hampton from Monday, July 24 through Friday, July 28 and at the Southampton Arts Center in Southampton from Monday, August 7 through Friday, August 11.
"The aim of our Student Summer Filmmaking workshops is to cultivate fresh filmmaking talent in the Hamptons community and to encourage aspiring filmmakers to embrace their passion," shared HIFF Manager of Education and Community Outreach, Marissa Friedes Cangiolosi. "We are excited to provide students with the chance to take the first step into the industry and learn from leaders in the entertainment world."
HIFF also recently presented a Compassion, Justice, & Animal Rights short film screening and student filmmaker panel for 200 4th and 5th graders at John M Marshall Elementary School in East Hampton, and will host similar viewings at the Springs School in June and The Ross School in the fall. These screenings highlight films that were inspired by the United Nations Plural + Program, a collaborative venture of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations and the International Organization for Migration that has teamed up with HIFF for the last three years.

Being able to overcome hurdles that students experience. Seeing the moments of a student suddenly being able to understand a concept is quite uplifting.
I am able to communicate effectively and will therefore be able to impart my knowledge onto the student. I have had recent experience with year 12 exams and have done well in them. I will be able to share these experiences with the students.
Definitely the most important thing a tutor can do is to help them understand the content that they are studying in order to help them reach their goals.

Of Robots and Remakes: A Trailer Analysis of Robocop (2014)
by Mark Young
There are few things that can ignite the scorn of a cinephile more than the remake of a beloved film. Throughout history great films have been made and remade and sometimes the remake has outshone the original. Such is the case with Scarface, War of the World's, Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey, and one of my personal favorites Ocean's Eleven. And yet there are possibly more examples of a remake being a poor representation of the original film. I will allow you to think of your own examples in the interest of not defaming any particular film.
Robocop is a remake for which I have naive optimism. There are many beneficial qualities to well-done remakes. The qualities that remakes give are 1) allowing a younger audience to meet great characters, 2) potentially explore areas previously ignored and 3) taking the original vision of a story to even greater lengths and farther reaching audiences. I believe Robocop has potential to do exactly this.
The original film, you can see the trailer here Robocop 1987 Trailer, used a mix of over the top violence, dark humor, and philosophical and political subtext to achieve a higher minded action film. It critiqued an American culture that glorified violence and made a statement about government verses business control. Some have argued that this movie is fine as it is and the message still applies to audiences today. This may be true. However, I feel the packaging of violent gore and dark sense of humor causes younger audiences to miss the message and questions this film is trying to ask. It can seem at times as though the film wants to be philosophical but it doesn't want to take the issues it raises seriously.
Now the remake, you may watch its trailer here Robocop 2014 Trailer, is obviously asking many of the same questions. Who has the right to control the public? What makes you human? Why is America constantly making choices different from every other country in the world? The film hopes to accomplish this goal by exploring a more human, personal, and realistic lead character. This film wants to start with the questions about what it means to be human that the original franchise didn't start to explore until the second and third films. I also believe the PG-13 rating shows growth in America's culture. We no longer need R-rated shock violence to get the point of this type of smart film across.
As the screenwriter and director have very few credits to their names, none of which I have seen, I can gain no hope from their previous forays into film. Yet, the actors attached to the project have done many similar works that were both intelligent and well executed. From Gary Oldman having been in The Dark Knight Trilogy, to Jackie Earl Haley's portrayal of Rorschach in Watchmen, to Michael Keaton in the Tim Burton Batman films to Samuel L. Jackson's parts in Pulp Fiction, Do The Right Thing and playing Nick Fury in the Marvel movieverse this cast is intelligent and knows how to pick their roles. I believe with the skill of this cast and respect of the source material we can have a remake that just may outshine its predecessor.

Olivenose: I shake myself. "Yes. We need marigold, and a bit more catmint to stock up for the rest of leaf-bare"
Hazelpaw: I nod. I go over and put the goldenrod down, then go out a few fox lengths away from the entrance, then found the patch of marigold and started picking the stalks.
Hazelpaw: I be careful not to bruise the stalks and leaves.
Troutpaw: I nip the catmint by the stems and leave enough behind to grow next newleaf. I look around and then grab a fern frond and drag it to cover the catmint so it didn't all freeze and die in the harder months in leaf-bare. The rivers were already starting to freeze.
"Ooof!" I mew, falling to the ground.
Hazelpaw: "Yes." I fold my ears back as my face fills with red and pink. "You alright?"
Pondpaw: After padding out of his sight I lie down. I lift up my head after a while and see the two bump into each other. Hazelpaw's ears and face where filled with red. 'Good for them...' I think, mumbling in my mind.
Hazelpaw: I look down as I pick up the herbs. "Good." I say quietly. I then go back towards the camp, my tail drooping.
Troutpaw: I watch the two head off, then turn toward the sunset (pretend kk?) I lift my head and make a small, crooning sound full of grief. My heart has torn in two for them! Demon: Go with Hazelpaw, rebel against Pondpaw!! Angel: No, your heart has always been true to Pondpaw. Chose her. Troutpaw: Shut up "Pondpaw." I murmur to myself. "Pondpaw. If Hazelpaw can't accept that I loved Pondpaw first, I don't care"
Troutpaw: I trot away toward the direction of camp, then stumble over Pondpaw's hiding place. "Pondpaw!" My heart beats fast (heart, beats, fast, colours and proooooomiseeeeees..... sorreh XD) "Look, I'm sorry Hazelpaw was being so mean. I love you."
Pondpaw: Does he really mean it? He's toyed with my love today so should I believe him? I leap to my paws, turn away from camp and start sprinting, He means nothing.... He means nothing... He means nothing.... Or does he?
Pondpaw: My head tells me to run, my heart is saying go to him. I continue to run, my vision blurred with confusion. Without realising I run across the border into (I forgot who the border with so edit a clan they do) my senses are clouded and confused.
Hazelpaw: I just happen to look back and see all of this happen. I stiffen, holding back the tears. It was never going to happen, why did I ever get my hopes up?
I look at Troutpaw, longing in my gaze and heart. I tore the truth out of the darkest corners of my mind, and put it into my heart. It hurt, but it was the truth.
Troutpaw was never going to be my mate.
Closing my eyes tight, I imagined sharp claws, and my love for Troutpaw was a thin twig.
Tears spilled out the corners of my eyes as I severed it.
Troutpaw: "PONDPAW GET BACK HERE!" I screech, fear smashing into me. No wait. That was an enemy cat.
???: "GET OFF MY TERRITORY TRESPASSERS!"
Troutpaw: "SHUT UP WE'RE MEDICINE CATS MOUSE-BRAIN!"
Hazelpaw: I took a shaky breath and looked up. Troutpaw rocketed off. Hmph, I'll need to tell him we need more Catnip when he gets back. I'd had enough herb collecting for today.
???: I snarl at the cat from ReedClan. "Who are you, stupid trespasser?"

Approved Fall 2023 Elementary Attendance Zone Modifications
Forney ISD is growing and growing fast! Each year in November, we review our attendance zones to ensure we have space to accommodate all of our current and future students.
On December 5, 2022, the Forney ISD Board of Trustees approved attendance zone changes impacting the elementary attendance zones only beginning in Fall 2023.
With the opening of the new Dewberry Elementary in the Fall of 2023, our annual attendance zone review and modification will impact only elementary (K-4th) families currently attending Blackburn, Crosby or Griffin elementaries.
The district has four separate zoning maps that are independent of each other: (1) elementary, (2) intermediate, (3) middle, and (4) high school. Intermediate, middle, and high school attendance zone boundaries will NOT change for Fall 2023.
Approved 2023-2024 Elementary Attendance Zones
2023-2024 Intermediate Attendance Zones (remains unchanged from 2022-2023)
2023-2024 Middle School Attendance Zones (remains unchanged from 2022-2023)
2023-2024 High School Attendance Zones (remains unchanged from 2022-2023)
As always, special programs, such as Pre-K and ECSE, are evaluated annually and location is based on enrollment and capacity. Dual language for Kindergarten-4th grade will remain at Criswell, and the Advanced Academics and Fine Arts Academy for Kindergarten-4th grade at will remain at Blackburn for fall 2023.

Hey, want a drive through the night? Nice scenery included!
hmm... endless is the main idea?
"I don't wanna do a quickstep" :))) Space truck driver?
It was cool idea with random thoughts/ subtitles (sometimes pretty dark) leaving player to put together random bits of main character's story/past.
Hey, thanks inbetweengames. Yes, that was the idea.
Sadly, it's pretty rough. And incomplete. And thrown together.
The draw distance is a bit too low and I would have enjoyed a background by the side of the road.
The art is very cool. I like it!

Q: How to start an application using QT and C++ I am trying to start an application(.exe) using QT in windows environment. The below code giving an error while running my project.
Error:
The inferior stopped because it received a signal from the Operating System.
Signal name : SIGSEGV
Signal meaning : Segmentation fault

When running:
QString path = "C:/Temp/myproject/AppTest.exe";

QProcess process;
process.execute(path)

A: I think you should create a function for this and use relative paths. I think the command you need here is process->start(path, arguments) You will also need to set a QProcessEnviorment; Something like this:
QProcess *process = new QProcess( parent );
QProcessEnvironment env = QProcessEnvironment::systemEnvironment();
process->setProcessEnvironment(env);
process->start(execPrgm, args);

I Hope this helps!

HomeEntertainmentQ-Force is On Netflix; Here's How To Watch and When
Q-Force is On Netflix; Here's How To Watch and When
Netflix continues to amaze us, isn't it? Well, that being said, let's set the light and focus on "Q-Force". Time to get amazed!
Questions are hovering all over when people actually want to know the release time of Q-Force and also the list of the participants who are going to make it to the voice cast. Time to find it all out.
Netflix undoubtedly has a very vast library and is the king of content when it comes to the subjective, agree? In that case, everyday additions in the library are expected. This time, the attraction is coming from "Q-Force"
The story is mainly centered around a group of people who belong to "LBGTQ+ Super Spies" and are referred to as Q-Force. The motto is to prove their capabilities in a personal and professional way.
For fans, the level of curiosity has risen and they are waiting to know all that they can about Q-Force
So, without any further ado, let's get to the subject.
Q-Force Is on Netflix
The launch time of the show was as follows.
Pacific Time: 12 AM PDT
British Time: 8 AM BST
Australia Time: 4: 30 PM ACST
Eastern Time: 3 AM EDT
European Time: 9 AM CEST
Philippine Time: 3 PM PHT
However, the show is now officially on Netflix and you can watch it by just tuning to Netflix.
What is Q-Force About?
Q-Force primarily deals with a spy superhero and a secret agent Steve Marywhether who people also refer to as Agent Mary. There are others too who are looking to move up the ladder and enhance themselves on multiple levels.
The show sheds light on the LGBTQ+ community and certainly, it succeeds in doing so.
Oh and did I mention, Agent Mary came out as gay taking the story on a spin. Netflix officially released Q-Force today and Season 1 has ten episodes that are up and running.
The voice cast behind Q-Force is amazing and includes Sean Hayes, Laurie Metcalf, Patti Harrison, Wanda Sykes, David Harbour, and Gary Cole.
Sean Hayes is leading the Q-Force and it will be a whole lot of fun to find out how that goes.

Young African Sisters write Pan-African Children's Book, Bella's Adventures in Africa
February 3, 2017 Culture, Education, Featured Businesses, Finance, NewsBella's Adventures in Africa, British Zimbabwean, Pan African children's book, Rebecca Darko, Rutendo Muzambi, self-published, sistersTaji Mag
Bella's adventures in Africa is a self-published Pan African children's book by British Zimbabwean sisters Rutendo Muzambi and Rebecca Darko, which is beautifully illustrated by Guy Stratton. It follows a girl who leaves England to embark on journey across Africa with her parents. It is a collection of nine short stories based in eight different African countries – Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Côte d'Ivoire, Tanzania, Egypt, and Ethiopia.
Rutendo's inspiration for writing the book was derived from a number of experiences. One of the key reasons, was her passion for African culture and the need to promote more positive views of Africa. She has always been passionate about celebrating and embracing her African heritage. During her years in secondary school, she was awarded the Jack Petchey Award for her 5 year contribution and commitment to the annual black history competitions. However, she encountered negative stereotypical views from friends and colleagues, who would innocently ask whether Africans lived amongst wild animals and in tiny huts. These views were a far cry from the fun and happy childhood she and her sister had experienced and the modern Africa that we know and love. It appeared to them that some people did not realize that Africa is a continent of many nations, languages, cultures and values. Thus they wanted to write a book that moved away from the stereotypes and showed African children having fun adventures.
Like many other African young people, Rutendo and Rebecca followed the traditional route of going to university and gaining their educational qualifications. Rutendo gained her Masters degree in pharmacy whilst Rebecca also completed her Masters. However, they both still had a passion for writing and wanted to share their love of the African continent with other people. Thus during Rebecca's maternity leave they began to write short adventure stories set in Africa and completed the book in December 2016.
With over 100 illustrations and adventurous short stories, this book shows African children having adventures. It is important for children to develop an understanding and appreciation of other cultures and to also foster a positive attitude towards people who are of a different background to them. When children of African heritage see themselves reflected in books, it enhances their self-esteem and builds their confidence. It also enables children of African heritage to see their continent in a more positive light, learn more about different African countries and to be proud of their African heritage.
Bella's Adventures in Africa published on the 17th of January 2017. It is available on Amazon and on their website www.riverfrog.co.uk

Kirsten Johnson was born on last day of the summer of love to two ex-pat American professors who couldn't have been less hippy. In the time worn tradition of becoming one's parents her work is split between exploring large ideas like her philosopher father but from a very personal and emotionally real position like her psychiatrist nursing prof mom. Her desire to be both an artist and a performer dates back to the age of 5. Today, Kirsten Johnson is a visual artist / performer who makes short films.
She began studying both art and performance at a very young age and assumed that one would eventually win out. It has yet to do so. Before leaving her teens she started working as a professional portraitist as well as an actor. She appeared in DNA Theatre's extremely experimental works (she was Ophelia in an 8-hour version of Hamlet) as well as the infamous Centre Stage production of Spring Awakening in Toronto.
As a painter, her work appears in private and public collections all over North America, Europe, Australia and Japan. Three pieces from the Catfight series have been purchased by the Colart Collection of Montréal. Her work can be found in the collections of novelist, Ann-Marie MacDonald, actor, Gavin Crawford, playwright, Daniel MacIvor, puppeteer, Ronnie Burkett, theatre artist, Sky Gilbert and other such Canadian cultural luminaries. Her work often involves a fusing of her visual work with her strong background in performance.
Performance-wise she has appeared in such films as Cronenberg's eXistenZ, Jeremy Podeswa's Eclipse, and was an active part of Toronto's alternative theatre scene during the 90s.

Google "Wimbledon" to Play a Hidden Tennis Game
July 12, 2019 admin Games
Google loves hiding Easter eggs in its products, and it has been doing it for years. Some Google Easter eggs are permanent, while others pop up temporarily to commemorate a special event. Either way, Google's Easter eggs certainly keep things interesting.
On April Fools' Day 2019, Google let you play Snake in Google Maps. Then, later that same month, Google hid an Avengers Endgame Easter egg in Google Search. Now, Google has hidden another Easter egg in Search, and this one is liable to kill your productivity.
How to Play Google's Hidden Tennis Game
Google's latest Easter egg is in honor of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships currently taking place in London, England. Fittingly, it's a free (and very simple to play) tennis game hidden in Google's search results related to Wimbledon.
To play Google's hidden tennis game, just search for "Wimbledon," "Wimbledon Scores," or something similar. All you need to do is trigger Google's information box containing the results. Once that appears, scroll all the way right until you see the tennis ball.
There's a hidden mini-game in the Wimbledon search results on Google.
Works on mobile and desktop. ? pic.twitter.com/Gcyl6PHIUU
— Ard Boudeling (@ArdCB) July 12, 2019
Click the tennis ball to the right of "Mixed Doubles" and the results will disappear. In their place you'll see a patch of grass with an 8-bit animal standing on it. Click the "Play" button and you'll reveal a grass tennis court and an opponent.
Pressing any button (or your screen if you're on mobile) will start the game. The controls are very simple: just move your player left or right to hit the ball back. This is basically Pong, but played vertically. All you need to do is keep hitting the ball back to score points.
Play Google's Tennis Game While You Can
The Wimbledon finals are being played this weekend (July 13-14), so it's possible that Google's hidden tennis game might not be around for long. We're hoping, however, that Google gives the game its own URL (as it has with Pac-Man) so it can live on.
Google's hidden tennis game isn't going to win any awards for its visuals. However, it's free, easy to play, and rather addictive. So it's worth playing when you're bored. Just like these other addictive mobile games you can play for 5 minutes at a time.

« Texas Supreme Court Orders and Opinions — March 15, 2019 | Main | Texas Supreme Court Opinions - April 12 & April 26, 2019 »
Posted by Rich Phillips, Stephanie Dooley Nelson, and Connor Bourland
In its weekly orders on Friday, April 5, 2019, the Texas Supreme Court issued opinions in three argued cases. The Court did not grant any new cases for review. Justice Busby did not participate in any of these opinions.
The opinions are:
No. 17-0454, West v. Quintanilla — In this interlocutory appeal from an anti-SLAPP motion, the Court considered the contours of the parol-evidence rule. The plaintiff alleged that after he satisfied his debt to the defendant, the defendant nonetheless filed fraudulent liens and slandered the plaintiff's title to certain mineral interests. The defendant filed a motion to dismiss under the Texas Citizens Participation Act, but the trial court denied it. The court of appeals, however, held that the plaintiff failed to meet his burden under the TCPA to prove a prima facie case for his claims because the parol-evidence rule barred consideration of the plaintiff's evidence that he had satisfied the debt at issue. The Texas Supreme Court disagreed. In an opinion by Justice Boyd, the Court discussed the requirements of the parol-evidence rule at length and noted that the rule does not preclude enforcement of an agreement that is "collateral" to and "not inconsistent" with the agreement at issue. Because the plaintiff's evidence that he had satisfied the debt fell under this collateral-and-consistent exception, the court of appeals erred in relying on the parol-evidence rule to bar the enforcement of the plaintiff's evidence. Having rejected the court of appeals's sole basis for dismissing the plaintiff's claims under the TCPA, the Court remanded the case to the appellate court to consider the other issues it had not reached.
In addition to its extensive discussion of the "collateral-and-consistent" exception, the Court addressed head-on the difference between the parol-evidence rule and the contract-construction rule that bars consideration of evidence to modify or add to unambiguous contract language. Noting that the two rules are "easily confused and conflated," and that the Court had been "less than precise in distinguishing the two rules," the Court explained that the parol-evidence rule applies when "a contract is written and integrated." The contract-construction rule, in contrast, applies "when a contract is written and unambiguous."
No. 17-0501, Texas Mutual Insurance Co. v. Chicas — In this case, the Court addressed whether Labor Code section 410.252(a) (requiring a party dissatisfied with a decision of a Division of Workers' Compensation appeals panel to seek judicial review within 45 days) is jurisdictional. Chicas sought workers' compensation benefits after her husband died, but the Division of Workers' Compensation found for Texas Mutual after the insurance company disputed Chicas's claim. Chicas sought review in district court after the mandatory 45-day window, and the district court granted Texas Mutual's plea to the jurisdiction. Chicas appealed, and the court of appeals reversed. In an opinion by Justice Brown, the Supreme Court affirmed, finding that the statute was not jurisdictional. The Court reasoned that while a statute may be mandatory, it is not necessarily jurisdictional, and that the Court "presume[s] the legislature did not intend to make a provision jurisdictional" absent "clear contrary legislative intent." In reaching its decision, the Court examined (1) the plain meaning of the statute, (2) whether the statute contains specific consequences for noncompliance, (3) the purpose of the statute, and (4) the consequences that would result from each possible interpretation of the statute. The Court found that the plain text of the statute did not indicate any legislative intent that the statute be jurisdictional, that the statute did not require dismissal for failure to comply, that the purpose of the statute was not to deprive courts of jurisdiction in certain cases, and that interpreting the statute as jurisdictional would "leave final judgments vulnerable to attack on the ground that the deadline was not met."
No. 17-0630, Agar Corp. v. Electro Circuits Int'l, LLC — In this case, the Supreme Court was asked to determine the proper statute of limitations period for a claim for civil conspiracy. Plaintiff Agar Corporation sued several defendants, asserting claims based on an alleged scheme to produce knock-off products. In an amended petition, Agar added claims against Electro Circuits and its owner under various tort theories and asserting a claim for civil conspiracy. Electro and its owner obtained summary judgment based on limitations and the court of appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court granted review to determine the proper limitations period for a claim of civil conspiracy. The issue is whether civil conspiracy is an independent tort to which the general two-year limitations period should apply uniformly or a derivative claim, for which the limitations period should be the period for the underlying claim. In an opinion by Justice Devine, the Supreme Court held that it is a derivative claim and that the proper limitations period is the period for the underlying tort. The Court also held that a claim for civil conspiracy accrues when the claim for the underlying tort accrues, instead of when the last overt act of the conspiracy occurs.
With these cases decided, there are 39 cases that have been argued, but not decided. We expect the Court to work to get all of the remaining cases decided by early July. There is one case left from the Court's September sitting and several cases from each of the sittings from October through March.

Algeria indirectly involved in the Libyan conflict
The Algerian authorities are highly embarrassed these last times by the information about the presence of Algerian and Polisario combatants in the field of the Libyan fight. Many credible sources, among whom NATO senior executives, Western media and spokesman of the National Transition Council in Libya, the Minister of justice who has just resigned, Mustapha Abdeljalil Boudjaj. The Libyan rebels have even announced last month, to have killed three elements and to have captured fifteen others during the battles at Ajdabiya. In one of its last editions, the British monthly magazine "North-South Magazine" states the strong suspicions which come to substantiate the idea of a logistic support of the Algerian soldiers and the Polisario Front to the Libyan regime of Mouammar Gaddafi in its repression of the rebellion. The writer of the article, Alan Brown, reminds that the Polisario, which continues benefiting from the support of Algeria, was at the beginning of its creation in the 70s and 80s, financed by the Libyan regime. Certain elements of the Polisario, adds the magazine, have "recently given themselves up to kidnapping foreigners in the region of the Sahel in the name of Al Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQMI)" and have also served as intermediaries for the terrorist organization, taking their commission from the high ransoms required from European countries such as Spain and France, for the release of their hostages.
Alan Brown points out, besides, that Algeria and Syria were the only countries to abstain when the League of Arab States declared to be in favour of the adoption by the UN of the resolution having established the exclusion air zone in Libya to protect the civil people. Algiers authorities, has he added, have, besides, supported with force the "illogical proposition of the African Union to put an end to the Libyan conflict while insisting on a process in which Gaddafi would be a participating and not an excluded party". The Algerian diplomacy finds itself this way highly bothered by this mercenaries' affair in which are involved some Algerian citizens and elements from the Polisario which is taking refuge in Tindouf camps in the Algerian territory.

Manchester United Transfer News LIVE - Latest Rumours & Confirmed Deals - 90min
Roy Keane Named Greatest Premier League Captain of All Time in a Poll
Mudeet Arora 15 Jul 2019
One of the most notorious players in Premier League history, Manchester United great Roy Keane has beaten three other legends to be crowned the best Premier League captain of all time, as per a poll on social media.
SPORTbible posted a poll on Twitter asking fans to vote between Keane, Steven Gerrard, John Terry and Patrick Vieira as their pick for the best Premier League skipper.
After a total of over 45,000 votes, the Manchester United legend was the clear favourite and took home 37 per cent of the vote.
Liverpool great Steven Gerrard came in second securing 30 per cent followed by Chelsea legend John Terry who received 20 per cent votes. Patrick Vieira came in last with 13 per cent.
Who is the best Premier League captain ever?
— SPORTbible (@sportbible) July 14, 2019
Roy Keane won seven Premier League titles, four FA Cups and a Champions League before he left Old Trafford in 2005.
His impact at Old Trafford has never been forgotten with another United legend Gary Neville speaking highly of the Irishman and claiming that Keane was the best captain he played under at United.
On being asked who was the greatest United captain he played under, Neville had said, "Roy Keane without a shadow of a doubt."
He concluded, "Without a shadow of a doubt the most inspirational player I have ever played with, because he wasn't only the best player on the pitch most weeks... but the influence he had in terms of his standards, the fact that he made everybody else feel ten-foot tall, the fact that he demanded from you all the time. He was almost like Sir Alex Ferguson was on the training pitch and in the dressing room, there was never any drop in standard."

Abu Daqqa is not alone in making this realisation; an increasing number of unique and well-curated online shops offering furniture and home accessories are popping up across the UAE. Whatever's "in" in the decor world can be acquired in the UAE with the simple click of a button.
For someone like Audrey Soler, founder of lifestyle brand The People of Sand, launching an online business made sense, she says, because she can do everything herself, "from anywhere around the world – it's the dream life".
Like all the other online entrepreneurs we spoke to, Soler handles business strategy, digital strategy, art direction, photography, sourcing, buying, customer service, web development and social media coverage herself, at least until the business grows enough to hire employees and assistants.
Choosing to be an exclusively online business, says Soler, allows her to price her products attractively and to also customise products specifically for her clients.
Here are six go-to sites for home decor in the UAE.
One of the first on the scene when it comes to offering homeware online, Ebarza, founded by UAE-born Palestinian architect Maana Abu Daqqa, has become something of a household name. Before it launched, finding affordable mid-century furniture in the UAE was nearly impossible.
Ebarza launched as a stylish online option for design lovers, retailing well-priced reinterpretations of classic mid-century pieces. It also stocks original contemporary artwork, lighting, rugs and accessories, all conveniently delivered to your doorstep, with the option to return and exchange if things aren't exactly to your liking.
"We now create our own designs, to meet a minimal, sleek, slim, almost Scandinavian aesthetic, where our underlying approach is 'less is more'," explains Abu Daqqa.
Fans of a Bohemian chic look in their homes needn't look much further than The People of Sand. Founded by Dubai-based Audrey Soler, who boasts French, Spanish and Berber roots, the brand specialises in Moroccan home accessories. Think leather poufs made using Sabra silk by leather artisans, Berber rugs of the Boucherouite variety, Moroccan wedding blankets known as Handira and coffee tables of brass and carved wood.
The result was MarMarLand, which brings together trendy children's brands from around the world, such as Ferm Living, Design Letters, Cam Cam Copenhagen, Mrs Mighetto and Sebra. Most products are gender neutral, catering for both newborns and older children.
MarMarLand provides everything from accessories and decor items for nurseries and children's rooms, including carpets, lamps, cushions, blankets, bedding, poufs, mobiles, wall stickers, posters, playhouses and toys. A grown-up category that comprises bedding, cushions, minimalistic planters and edgy kitchen accessories. Soon, larger furniture items for children, like cot beds, changing tables, chairs, tables, shelves and desks, will be added, all while maintaining a Scandinavian-like aesthetic.
If one person deserves credit for popularising Beni Ourain rugs in the UAE, it would have to be Miruna Valcu Zekkri, founder of Maison Saadah. The Romanian native, who lives in Dubai with her Belgian husband and young daughter, says the idea for her online rug business came during a "magical trip" to Morocco in 2014.
Valcu Zekkri's initial stock of rugs sold out in a few weeks, and today, Maison Saadah – which is a French-Arabic combination of words meaning "home of happiness" – produces its own rugs, designed in Dubai and handwoven in the Moroccan mountains by women in their own homes. "It takes about 20 days and 20 kilograms of wool for a rug to be created," says Valcu Zekkri.
It took a spiritual awakening to propel Shazia Ahmed, a Canadian biologist who also has a degree in interior styling, to launch her online homeware store, Emaan Home, in Dubai. Emaan, which means "faith", seemed the right name for her biggest venture yet.
Having fallen for the minimalism of Scandinavian and Nordic design – "It's beautiful in a shy way; it's functional and has purpose," she says – Ahmed began searching for home and lifestyle accessories that would "infuse calm and serenity" in a home.
Emaan Home stocks everything from kitchenware and tableware, to pots, vases, trays, cushions, area rugs, wall prints, wall hangings, notebooks, journals, stationery and phone covers. Among its more popular items are marble covers for MacBooks and, next month, it will launch its first lighting collection.

"Check and Create What You Need": An Art Therapy Relational Neurobiological (ATR-N) Resiliency and Compassion Protocol.
During this full day workshop participants, will learn to use a resiliency based art therapy relational neuroscience (ATR-N) protocol and will gain understanding of the protocol's associated neuroscientific basis. The workshop is of special interest for art therapists in interested expanding their trauma- based treatment repertoire skills to include compassion- based skills.
The first part of the day will review ATR-N CREATE principles: 1) Creative Embodiment, 2) Relational Resonating, 3) Expressive Communicating, 4) Adaptive Responding, 5) Transformative Integration, and 6) Empathizing and Compassion (Hass-Cohen, 2008).
In the second part of the day participants will experientially engage with the CHECK protocol which was published as a case-study and awarded the American Art Therapy Journal 2014 best article of the year. Time permitting, they will also learn about several other ATR-N protocols characterized by a specific sequencing of interventions. These ATR-N protocols emphasize the ATR-N transformative integration principle which suggests that working with creativity and expression, and using the arts to support adaptive responding gives rise relational security, mindfulness, empathy and compassion.
