YouTuber Awesamo Just Opened Up About His Ice Use And How He Came Out Of That Darkness
By Rameeza Ahmad | 25 Jun, 2019
Razo Samo better known as Awesamo opened up about a lot of things… including his addictions.
Pakistani YouTubers hitting the 1 million mark for their subscriber count is still a pretty big deal. And when KhujLee Family's YouTube channel hit 1 million subscribers, Raza Samo aka Awesamo did not want it only to be a party but a major life lesson for all of his subscribers.
He wanted to share his own story and talk about how his road to success had been littered with hardships.
He starts off by talking about his father, who he says worked at a motorcycle repair shop
Awesamo says his father had saved all his life so he could fulfill his dream of his son getting the best education and becoming a successful man. To make his father's dream come true, Raza gained admission in a university in Islamabad to study aeronautical engineering.

But he soon found out, he had neither the aptitude nor the interest in the subject. And realized that he would much rather make people laugh. He was always the class clown and would try to make the entire class laugh as the teacher taught.
After that he started dancing and entered competitions in university which lead to him overcoming his stage fright. He then met a friend and developed an interest in beat boxing. And because of all of his talents and him generally being confident and funny, Raza would always find himself as the life of the party and as the center of attention.
However, in his 7th semester, his CGPA dropped below 2.0 and he was asked to leave the university. He found that everyone who had wanted to hang out with him when he had been happy and carefree, no longer wanted to talk to him when he was going through this tough time which had forced him to be a little more serious.
To top all of this off, he found out that apart from all of his father's life-savings, his mother had also sold her jewelry to pay for his education
And he felt that he couldn't face going back home. So he decided to rent an apartment live there till he figured something out. He spent days hungry. And felt that he couldn't face reality, so he got into drugs and started doing a lot of hash.
He had a moment of clarity where he decided to get into art school. He prepared to get into NCA for 8 months but couldn't make it past the interview round. And after this setback, he fell back into drugs. Hard.
He became addicted to crystal meth and would hang out with other addict friends who would indulge in meth, hash and alcohol
It wasn't until one of his friends died and that he was shaken enough to question his addictions. While all of this was happening, his family called to tell him that they were facing death threats from a local wadera who they had had a disagreement with. Thus they had to move to Lahore as well.
After this, Raza felt that he had to do something. He realized he had started his YouTube channel back in university and needed to put more content on it so he could make it successful. And that's exactly what he did. With the help of his friend Haseeb, he got sponsorships and started gaining subscribers as well as making money.
And then he hit a lakh subscribers and there was no stopping him. And that's exactly what he wanted his subscribers to know; to never give up because if you were willing to work hard you would definitely get your due.
Today, Raza Samo is an example of that. Being one of the most popular YouTuber in the country and having bought his parents a house and a car with his own money

Irish Close champion Chris Selfridge sees no reason why he can't match Rory McIlroy and complete a rare double - or treble - with victory in the European Individual Amateur Championship at Carton House.
The 20-year old from Moyola Park has had a sensational season on the domestic circuit, following up his victory in the 'Close' at Portrush in May with a play-off win in the East of Ireland Championship just a week later.
Now he's one of 17 Irishmen in the elite, 144-man field that will do battle with the cavernous bunkers and waving fescues of the Montgomerie Course hoping to win the title and earn his place in next year's Open Championship at Muirfield.
While the winner will get to play in next year's Open, providinghe remains amateur, two players in the field have already had that pleasure.
Rathmore's Alan Dunbar, who clinched the British Amateur title at Royal Troon, heads the Irish challenge hoping to dethrone Austria's Manuel Trappel, who is back to defend his title.
The Montgomerie course measures a stern 7,300 yards from the back tees and while it's crucial to stay out of the cavernous traps that pock-mark the Scot's "inland links", calm and firm conditions mean it will not be as stern a test as it was in 2004, when it Welshman Craig Smith was the last man standing in the Irish Amateur Open.
"It's all about staying out of the bunkers," said Ballymena's Dermot McElroy, who is still waiting to record his first senior victory following his Irish Boys Close win in 2010.
The Irish contingent will have a distinct advantage as many of them have played the course dozens of times during national squad sessions.
Paddy Gribben (1998), Stephen Browne (2001), Brian McElhinney (2003) and McIlroy (2006) have all taken the title for Ireland but now a man in green will have a chance to emulate them on home soil for the first time.
The international field features the cream of European Amateur golf and represents the last opportunity for players to stake their claim to a place in the sides to do battle for the St Andrews Trophy match between Great Britain and Ireland and the Continent of Europe at Portmarnock at the end of the month.
The big guns including defending champion Manuel Trappel of Austria his compatriot and British Amateur runner up Matthias Schwab, as well as Daan Huizing of the Netherlands, who is third in the World Amateur Golf Rankings thanks to his wins in the Lytham Trophy and St Andrews Links Trophy this year.
Ten of the 11-strong Irish team for this month's Home International matches will tee it up - Irish Amateur Open champion Gavin Moynihan is on Home International duty for the Boys side at Baltray. But Diamond points to reigning British Amateur champion Alan Dunbar from Rathmore as the man to watch.
The 72-hole strokeplay championship, which awards a place in next year's Open Championship at Muirfield to the winner, concludes on Saturday.
Dunbar, a former Irish Amateur Open champion, also finished runner-up at the St Andrews Links Trophy and will spearhead the home contingent which includes Brabazon Trophy runner-up Kevin Phelan, 2011 East of Ireland champion Richard O'Donovan, Reeve Whitson, Gary Hurley, North of Ireland winner Rory McNamara, Dermot McElroy, James Fox, Niall Gorey, Paul Dunne, Aaron Kearney and Jack Hume.
Among the English challenge are a number of US collegiate players riding high in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, such as Ben Taylor and Garrick Porteous, alongside Spanish Amateur champion Jack Hiluta and recently-crowned Welsh Stroke Play champion Craig Hinton.
The Scottish contingent also have reason to believe they will mount a challenge with British Amateur semi-finalists Paul Ferrier and Jack McDonald among their numbers.
Meanwhile, Welshman Rhys Pugh certainly knows how to win in Ireland, having captured the 2011 Irish Amateur Open in Royal Dublin, where he narrowly evaded a final round charge from Huizing.
Huizing's compatriot Robin Kind will also be one to watch in Carton House having won the individual category at the European Nations Cup and finishing runner-up at the 2012 Irish Amateur Open.
The French challenge is also likely to be particularly strong, including among its ranks the name of Paul Barjon, who recently added trophies from the Scottish Stroke Play and Italian Amateur Championships.
Germany's representatives include one of the in-form players of the year, Marcel Schneider, who captured the Australian Amateur Championship earlier in the year, and Moritz Lampert, the 2012 Portuguese Amateur Champion.
Belgian Thomas Pieters – a regular in the top-10 of the World Amateur Rankings and the current NCAA champion – is also one to watch.
Kelan McDonagh was pleased with his 72 at Royal Dublin. Picture by Pat Cashman/GUIKelan McDonagh confessed that golf has been put firmly in perspective by his girlfriend's brave battle with cancer after he opened with a grinding 72 to keep the leaders in his sights in the Irish Amateur Open at a weather-challenged Royal Dublin.

President Donald Trump listens to a question during a joint news conference with Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, Tuesday, July 25, 2017.
WASHINGTON >> President Donald Trump cranked up the heat Tuesday on Attorney General Jeff Sessions, scorning him as "very weak" and refusing to say whether he'll fire the nation's top law enforcement officer and his onetime political ally. It was an extraordinary public rebuke, and even fellow Republicans pushed back forcefully.
All through a day of anything-but-subtle tweets and statements, Trump rued his decision to choose Sessions for his Cabinet and left the former senator's future prospects dangling.
His intensifying criticism has fueled speculation that the attorney general may step down even if the president stops short of firing him. But several people close to the former Alabama senator have said he does not plan to quit.
In private, Trump raged to confidants that Sessions had been disloyal in recusing himself from the federal investigation of Russia's meddling in the presidential election and the possibility of collaboration with the Trump campaign. Sessions himself had met with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak before the election as a representative of the Trump campaign and thus stepped aside from the probe.
As he has previously, Trump said he would have "quite simply picked someone else" for the job if he'd known Sessions would recuse himself. He called Sessions' decision a "bad thing for the presidency," changing a word from his previous comments that it had been bad for "the president." He also said the attorney general ought to get cracking on stopping leaks from federal intelligence agencies.
Trump's harsh words drew a strong response from a number of Sessions' former Senate colleagues, suggesting that all Republicans may not fall in line this time behind the president.
Sens. Richard Shelby of Alabama, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and others also voiced support of their former colleague, as did several key conservative religious leaders and Breitbart News, the conservative news site formerly run by White House chief strategist Steve Bannon.
Some White House aides and Trump confidants have begun discussing how to move on beyond Sessions, while others have cautioned the president against firing a figure popular among conservatives — especially during the heat of the Russia probe.
Should Sessions depart, several scenarios could unfold. If Trump follows his own executive order outlining a succession plan, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein would become acting attorney general until a successor was nominated and confirmed by the Senate. That would leave the president, at least initially, with another attorney general of whom he has been sharply critical in both public and private for his handling of the Russia probe.
But Trump also could invoke his authority under the federal Vacancies Act to temporarily fill the slot with someone of his choice who has already been confirmed by the Senate to another position. That could include Cabinet members or other top Justice Department officials— but only if the attorney general resigned as opposed to being fired, said University of Texas law professor Stephen Vladeck.
Another option: A recess appointment would allow Trump to appoint anyone of his choosing to be attorney general if the Senate recesses for 10 days or more in August. This would allow the president to bypass Senate confirmation until 2019. But the length of an August recess remains uncertain, and Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York has vowed to fight such an appointment.
Sessions' exit could also raise the specter of Trump asking Rosenstein — or whomever he appoints to fill the position — to fire Robert Mueller, the special counsel leading the investigation into Russia's meddling in the 2016 election and potential collusion with Trump's campaign. That would seem to fulfill the vision of the Justice Department that Trump's critics believe he articulated during the campaign: a place that, at his direction, will punish his political enemies.
The White House was intent on tightening the vise on Sessions.
White House deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" that the president was "frustrated and disappointed" with Sessions for recusing himself from the Russia probe.
"That frustration certainly hasn't gone away. And I don't think it will," she said.
Trump often talks about making staff changes without following through, so those who have spoken with the president cautioned that a change may not be imminent or happen at all.
Lemire reported from New York. Associated Press writers Steve Peoples, Jill Colvin and Eric Tucker contributed reporting.

A circus performer narrowly dodged death after falling 30ft from a giant spinning wheel.
This is the moment a circus performer narrowly dodged death after falling 30ft from a giant spinning wheel.
Acrobat Navas Haurigui, 23, was minutes into his act at Gandeys Circus when he tumbed out of the Double Giant Spinning Wheel.
Footage from the circus' opening night shows Navas, who goes by the name Howie, struggling to keep his balance in the giant wheel.
The fall was met by a screams from the audience in Guernsey before crew rushed to help the acrobat who later said he thought he was going to die.
Paramedics rushed him to hospital – and astonishingly lucky Howie escaped with bruising.
Audience member Vicki Bennalick, 31, captured the horrifying moment on camera on Tuesday.
The cake decorator said: "The space wheels were the last act and it was introduced to the audience as the only one in the UK and Guernsey without any safety nets or lines.
"They didn't get far into the performance before something went wrong.
"The circus performer seemed to time his landing in the wheel slightly wrong which caused him to lose his rhythm and fall out of it.
"The audience gasped and were very shocked.
"I quickly stopped filmed as I was there with my children and aside from worrying about the performer, my first priority was to reassure the kids.
"The Gandey family acted fast.
"The lights went up so they could get to him then they quickly put a spotlight on the ringmaster who reassured everyone. It was a good distraction for the kids.
"Two minutes after his fall, two other circus performers performed in the back wheels. It was very much 'the show must go on'!
Vicki, who was at the show with partner Martin Campbell, 40, step-daughter Krystal, 20, step-son Zack, 11, and kids Maisy, 5, and Alex, 3, added: "Before we left we were told he was conscious and an ambulance was outside.
Defiant Howie, from Columbia, has vowed to be back performing today (Thursday).
He said: "When I was going to fall, I thought I was going to die. I fell on my back and hit my head on the floor, but has not discouraged me.

Racial Balance: Human (75%), Elf (10%), Halfling (6%), Gnome (4%), Half-elf (2%), Dwarf (1%), Other (2%) The details of all the major races of that country, as a percentage of the total population.

The list reflects the racial balance statistics (see above); so if humans are the largest racial group in that nation, followed by elves and dwarves, the list of deities follwed by humans will be first, then elves and dwarves. Within this context, they are listed alphabetically. No deity is listed more than once, even if more than one racial group prays to that god (for instance, both elves and gnomes are likely to follow Ky, but it will only be listed once nonetheless).
This small eastern province of Karnish is, along with Borodor, known as the gardens of Karnish. It is also the least densely populated area in the Karnish empire and, until recent years, regarded as one of the safest. Almost entirely agricultural, the province is dotted with small farming communities, with Adberry the only urban center of note.
Fenn once claimed to be amongst the most peaceful spots in Arrasia, without any obvious threats, but the reduction of Karnish forces in their neighbouring provinces and the rise in barbarian activity means that this is no longer the case. Rarely, humanoid raids make the long trek from the Anhorn Peaks, though they are usually content to remain in Ormex and inflict their terror there, and occasionally enemies from The Malvus Peaks will journey this far north. By and large, however, it is not the threat of humanoid activity that is the cause of much unease in Fenn, but rather the growing incursions of the barbarians of Yarasal J'naria whose daring and audacity have seen pass deep into Fenn territory. Coming so deep inside the borders of the Karnish empire has caused much consternation among the people of Fenn, who are largely undefended and exposed. This has caused resentment amongst the common folk, as well as the ruling elite.
Almost entirely agricultural, the food production of Fenn supplies a substantial part of grain and other basic foodstuffs needed to feed Karnish. With small farming communities spread all over the fertile plains of Fenn, Adberry acts as the conduit through which the produce is shifted, primarily being sent up the Annasë River to Yarathwaite, where it is shipped to all the corners of Karnish.
Adberry is a bustling market city and is the administrative center of Fenn. It is where the food merchants of Karnish gather to haggle over the price of produce and where a large number of farmers will bring their livestock and surplus to sell at one of the many markets.
Grain: Fenn produces a large quantity of grain and other foodstuffs that are exported to all corners of Karnish. Along with Borodor, Fenn is often regarded as the garden of Karnish.
See Borodor for a brief history of Fenn.
Adberry: (pop: 4,500) A small market town, little passes through Fenn that doesn't make its way here. It is home to amongst the most powerful people in the province and the trade in both livestock and grain is, for some, highly profitable. The town is one of the more attractive in Karnish, being grassy and open and free of the filth and stench of many Karnish urban centers, even within the poorer districts.
Edrus Thwain: Exceptionally old - some say even more than 100 years - the Royal Overlord of Fenn has overseen this province for over seventy years. A distant relative of King Borim, the one and only king of Fenn, his health is now ailing and his two sons, Farin and Shawlder, now await to see which of them will be chosen by the King to continue as Royal Overlord.
Farin Thwain: The elder of the two brothers and sons of Edrus Thwain, the present Royal Overlord of Fenn, he is fully expectant of being offered the post of Royal Overlord himself, upon his father's demise. However, he is not as highly regarded as his younger brother, Shawlder, who he despises and mistrusts. Farin is seen as arrogant and aloof, as well as being a daydreamer without either political nous or common sense.
Shawlder Thwain: The opposite of his elder brother, Farin, Shawlder is highly regarded within the highest echelons of Karnish - including the King himself - and speculation is rife that his elder brother will be overlooked and the post of Royal Overlord offered to Shawlder instead. He is a clear thinker, a man of determination and decisive action. During his spell in the army, spent in Badathur on the frontline against Zykerathox, he was considered an exceptional leader of men with great prospects and there was much regret when he returned home to his ailing father. He is also regarded as fair and just and is well liked throughout Fenn.

New Starcraft FPS canceled
Thread: New Starcraft FPS canceled
sandwich_bird
SC:L Staff
https://ca.ign.com/articles/2019/06/...-4-overwatch-2
Blizzard has reportedly canceled an unannounced StarCraft first-person shooter, instead allegedly deciding to shift resources over to the unannounced Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 development teams.
According to the report, Ares had a prototype built in which players controlled a Terran marine who took on Zerg aliens, with alleged plans to work on a playable Zerg
Ugh come on...
Re: New Starcraft FPS canceled
Shame, and here I thought they'd do something to make up for the story problems in SC2.
I suppose if they were designing a shooter, it'd make sense for them to focus on Overwatch instead. Oh well, even if it was coming, no loss to me at any rate. I'd be giving it a solid pass since I don't play shooters plus it sounds derivative of what Alien vs Predator already did. As for story, well, good FPS story are few and far between and it ain't exactly bankable anymore when it comes to Blizz, so there's nothing really going for it. Probably a smart business decision for Blizz in the end.
It also makes me wonder whether it's worth hoping D4 is going to be worth it.
Yes, that's right! That is indeed ME on the right.
Visions of Khas
Tsk, of course they canceled it. I wouldn't be surprised if this were another casualty of the political turmoil that's overtaken Acti-Blizzard. Gotta cut them costs, y'know!
While I would love a proper grimdark StarCraft FPS with cyberpunk elements, Blizzard has gone all-in on the cartoonish and zany art style for their properties. (And oh, there might be skeletons! Our Chinese market wouldn't like that!)

Aaand sold.
Be it through hallowed grounds or lands of sorrow
The Forger's wake is bereft and fallow
Is the residuum worth the cost of destruction and maiming;
Or is the shaping a culling and exercise in taming?
The road's goal is the Origin of Being
But be wary through what thickets it winds.
I'm not surprised at all. I expected that Blizz would want to branch into other genres at some point. I expected that any continuation would not resolve the story problems in the last installments. It does feel like an AVP clone, but that might not have been a bad thing.
The notes about enemy zerg and playable zerg... I'm ambivalent. There isn't enough information to determine whether the zerg would be portrayed as monsters or not. If the marine was supposed to be a hero or something, then yeah sure they'd be monsters. That would neatly undermine the whole space orcs thing Blizz had been going for.
At this point I can't be sure whether Blizz were intentionally going for space orcs or if that was just a careless side-effect of having to force QoB into the hero role and have all three races team up. Their recent Warcraft stories have depicted the orcs as generally villains and anti-heroes despite the whole demon blood retcon in WC3 two decades ago. One of their Q&A sessions explicitly stated the zerg were supposed to be alien monsters devoid of compassion when asked if the zerg could ever turn good, which completely contradicts all the other stories where the zerg are peaceful hippies (which themselves contradict all the other stories where the zerg are voracious monsters). The constant flip-flop on character morality is clearly due to turnover in the writing team.
If future installments depicted the zerg as monsters, then I would be totally okay with that. It's preferable to them being space hippies. Furthermore, it's clearly easier to write with the zerg when they're monsters since it's a simple reason for them to do anything violent the writer requires. I doubt Blizzard can write stories with pacifists as the main characters.
But the new round of retcons that would have inevitably been introduced would have filled my heart with joy because it meant we would have new material to mock and I would be able to say "I told you so" to anyone who still thought Blizzard could write a consistent story. Anyone who follows Warcraft knows that clearly isn't true.
Who knows, the story might have been another save the world plot a la Halo. That would have been hilarious. I wonder if Zagara or Niadra had turned evil and wanted to eat everyone or something. I wonder what the zerg PC would have done. Would he have been evil or good? Why?
Here's hoping that there's enough leftover material for Blizz devs to share with us in the future. The cutting room floor materials for SC1 and Ghost were pretty interesting looks into the development history.
Unfortunately, this means that it will probably be years and years before another Starcraft game is made unless it's mobile shovelware like Diablo Immortal.

On Kotaku it claims that it would have been a mix of battlefield and starcraft. Probably like the multiplayer part of SC:G was going to be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nwfe1JhaVlY
The closest game out there that I can think of is Natural Selection 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgVDGefyNtI
So anyways, it's unclear if a story mode was planned at all. Guess there's no hope for a Starcraft 'Space Hulk: Deathwing' type of game.
From an objective perspective, I don't think it makes sense to prioritize an Overwatch sequel over a Starcraft fps. I can't think of anything significant that they could add to overwatch right now short of a whole PvE experience or recycling game modes like battle royals and what not. All of which is already offered in the current game in one form or another. Since OW1 is still young, it would just split their community and give them more of a bad rep. At best, they could achieve what 'Left 4 dead 2' did which I still think was a cheap cash grab but it did work for Valve. Meanwhile, it's clear that there's demand for a Starcraft fps just by looking at the traction that these cancellation articles garnered and their comment section. A starcraft fps, even if it's 100% mp, would be a novelty and more easily gather hype while injecting lifeblood in their IP. Assuming it's not horse shit, it would sell. The Overwatch sequel can wait for a new technology leap.. Unless they want to make an borderland inspired OW spin-off; now that would sell!
You'd think the hype would only last a few months or something if the SC FPS happened, but then again I never got into Overwatch and looked at its hype. What was the hype for that when it first came out?
I wonder how much of it is due to branding.
As I said above, Blizzard property aesthetics have gone from gothic horror to cartoonish and kid-friendly. I imagine there was some tonal dissonance / push-pull between the scifi grit inherent in StarCraft's DNA, and this attempt at appealing to a broader audience. (The linked Love Death and Robots scene, from the short "Suits," displays a style highly reminiscent of Overwatch, and featured several StarCraft voice actors.) It's possible, too, some board members with the purse strings finds StarCraft to be stale, and "grit" to be too early 2000s; garish colors and bold aesthetics are where it's at, baby! The overexposure to post-9/11 cynicism and dour character have gone sour, let's wipe the slate clean and Make American Media Fresh Again! Media is meant to distract us from our sociopolitical/capitalistic/climate change woes in life, so let's go peddle-to-the-metal on this! Abject escapism, whoo! Disney has acquired everything under the sun, so instead of making our own trends life we used to, follow the Mouse!
Thanks, Activision. <3
What was the hype for that when it first came out?
The gaming company with the largest rabid fan-base were releasing their first new IP in decades. Can't get more hype than this.
and "grit" to be too early 2000s; garish colors and bold aesthetics are where it's at, baby!
I'm sure that was said elsewhere too XD

Q: Norm of vector with entries sent to zero I have a vector $x $ sampled uniformly at random from the sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$, with $n+1$ being an even number. Let's now assume I have a vector $y$ with the same dimension of $x$ whose first $\frac{n+1} 2$ entries are the same of $x$, and the other ones are set to zero.
What is the expected norm of $y$, i.e.
$$
\mathbb{E}[ \| y \|_2]=?
$$
In other words,
$$
\mathbb{E} [ \sqrt{ x_i^2 + \dots + x_{\frac{n+1}2}}]$$
the natural answer which would pop up to my mind is that it would be equal to $\frac{\|x\|} {\sqrt 2}$, but the argument breaks down because to do it I have to move the expected value under the square root.

A: Here is a way to solve this problem.  First, uniformly distributed points $\sigma$ on $S^n$ can be generated by first generating a standard Gaussian random vector $X$ in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ and then rescaling it to give $\sigma=X/\|X\|$.  This business of zeroizing $k$ of the components can be similarly generated by picking a pair of Gaussian vectors, $Y$ from $\mathbb R^k$ and $Z$ from $\mathbb R^{n+1-k}$, and setting your new random quantity  $\tau=Z/\sqrt{\|Y\|^2+\|Z\|^2}$.  The square of the quantity you are interested in has the distribution of $\|Z\|^2/(\|Y\|^2+\|Z\|^2)$.  This is well-known to statisticians to have a so-called Beta distribution, with parameters $((n+1-k)/2,k/2)$.  You want the expectation of the square root of such a variate.
That is, your answer is given by a Beta integral.  The Wikipedia article is long, but has all the needed ingredients.  It's possible to make algebra mistakes, but I think the answer is $$\frac{\Gamma(\alpha+\beta)}{\Gamma(\alpha+\beta+1/2)}\frac{\Gamma(\alpha+1/2)}{\Gamma(\alpha}$$
where $\alpha=(n+1-k)/2$ and $\beta=k/2$.

Wright Hoping To Outfox Mills
Chesterfield caretaker manager Tommy Wright will be looking to outfox his old friend Gary Mills this Saturday, when the two lock horns for the first time as managers as the Spireites take on York City at Bootham Crescent.
The duo both enjoyed successful spells with Leicester City from 1989 onwards and the Mistermen boss won promotion to the FA Premier League with the Foxes in 1994. Mills went onto make 200 appearances for the East Midlands-based club, while our very own Wright played 129 times during his time at Filbert Street.
The two both played in the club's first play-off final defeat to Blackburn Rovers under Brian Little and lock horns for the first time in the dugout this Saturday.
"Gary has done a fantastic job there," Wright said about his former team-mate.
"He won the double last year and at any level, to win promotion and a cup is fantastic. He's a good friend of mine. I've seen York play a few times, they'll try and pass it at a high tempo and they'll work hard.
"They'll defend as a unit, so it'll be difficult. But we're on an upward trajectory now, we've had a good win and everybody is positive so we can go there and get a result."
50-year-old Mills clinched the European Cup during his time at Nottingham Forest and began his managerial career with Grantham Town. He later went on to manage the club over the river Trent, Notts County, but couldn't prevent the Magpies from sliding into League Two and was subsequently relieved of his duties.
He faired much better at Bootham Crescent, however, guiding City to an FA Trophy and Play-Off Final success at Wembley to send the Mistermen back to the Football League after an eight-year absence. York defeated the much-fancied Rotherham in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy last time out courtesy of Matty Blair's strike 10 minutes from time, but in spite of winning three successive games Wright is confident his side can get a result.
"Their result during the week was impressive," he added.
"Not many teams will go to Rotherham and beat them because they're a good side and they get good crowds. I'm sure Gary was delighted with that. I think they've got a bit of momentum from promotion, they've got belief which can carry on to the next season and that's stood them in good stead.
"We're going there to win it. I think we can win any game that we play in this league. We went to Gillingham and could easily have won that and they were top of the league. We beat Oldham from a higher league and they had just beat Portsmouth.
"We're going there full of optimism, but we know it will be a difficult game. They're full of confidence, it will be a high tempo game i'm sure of that and we've got to be ready for it and if we're not, we won't win. Simple as that."
You can catch Tommy's full interview exclusively on Spireites Player.

The Smith Street Band share video for "Surrender," tour (2014)
Just about one month ago, Australia's best-kept secret The Smith Street Band released their new single "Surrender." The song is a triumphant sing along and the first from their highly anticipated new album, Throw Me In The River, available in the U.S. digitally October 28 and physically January 21. Pre-orders for the Jeff Rosenstock (Bomb The Music Industry!) produced record are currently live at store.sideonedummy.com.
Later this fall, they'll take the new album on the road when they join SideOneDummy Records label mates Restorations for a chunk of tour dates along the east coast following both bands performances at The Fest in Gainesville, FL.
Today, the band releases their prank-laden music video for "Surrender" via Alternative Press. The video is a first person shot of singer/guitarist Wil Wagner getting pummeled with silly string, glitter and just about anything else you can think of, all at the hands of who else but his band mates and friends.

Minister Morneau Talks Budget 2017 and Stronger Canada-U.S. Ties During U.S. Trip
From: Department of Finance Canada
Canada's openness to the world is a big part of what makes Canada a great place to invest, grow a business and raise a family.
April 3, 2017 – New York, New York – Department of Finance Canada
Canada's openness to the world is a big part of what makes Canada a great place to invest, grow a business and raise a family. Through Budget 2017, the Government of Canada will continue to make our country stronger and more competitive by deepening our engagement with the world and investing in key partnerships. Among the most important of those partnerships is the one Canada has with the United States.
Canada and the United States have built one of the most productive, interconnected and enduring economic relationships in the world—one that has led to shared prosperity and a better quality of life for the middle class in both countries.
Finance Minister Bill Morneau today began a two-day visit to the United States in New York City, where he spoke to business and financial sector leaders at an event hosted by the Canadian Association of New York and the World Economic Forum. The Minister will then visit Indianapolis on Tuesday.
In each city, the Minister will highlight ways to help the middle class on both sides of the border, to ensure Canadian and American workers and families will have greater opportunities to succeed and prosper.
With balanced and tightly knit economic, trade and financial ties between Canada and the U.S, it is in the interest of both countries to keep working together to achieve their shared goals of creating good, well-paying jobs and improving living standards to strengthen the middle class.
"Canada and the United States enjoy a partnership that is essential to our shared prosperity, and which has long served as a model for the rest of the world. Working together, we can create more opportunities to strengthen the middle class in both our countries."
- Bill Morneau, Minister of Finance
Canada and the United States share a longstanding relationship, through people-to-people ties and a strong trading and investment relationship that includes:
nearly 9 million American jobs dependent on trade and investment with Canada;
the largest, two-way, balanced trading relationship in the world, with almost CAN$850 billion (US$635 billion) in goods and services traded in 2016;
most U.S. states counting Canada as their top trading partner;
a highly integrated manufacturing sector, with products crossing the border several times before final assembly and sale in both countries;
balanced capital flows, with the U.S. stock of direct investment totalling half of all foreign direct investment (FDI) in Canada (CAN$451 billion—US$353 billion—in 2015) and Canadian direct investment one of the main sources of FDI into the United States (CAN$344 billion—US$269 billion).

NJ shuts down Monmouth telemarketing firms over senior fraud claims
New Jersey has shut down three Monmouth County telemarketing firms that sold emergency alert systems as part of a settlement.

Debt collectors representing the IRS may be calling. Here's how to know that it's not a scam. Video by David P. Willis Wochit
New Jersey shut down telemarketing firms as part of a settlement, the state said on Wednesday.(Photo: Kim Steele, Getty Images)
Two Monmouth County residents have agreed to pay $296,000 and shut down their companies to settle claims that they defrauded seniors, the New Jersey Attorney General said Wednesday.
Ezra Rishty of Ocean Township and Larry J. Ansell of Tinton Falls agreed to be permanently barred from advertising and selling emergency alert systems in New Jersey. And Rishty was barred from owning or operating any telemarketing business in the state.
"Using deceitful telemarketing practices to exploit vulnerable seniors isn't just cruel, it's also illegal," Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said is a statement.
Rishty and Ansell operated Life Aid Connect Inc.; Safety Alert USA LLC., which was also known as Med Aid Alert; and Mobile Alert Inc., selling emergency alert systems to seniors through telemarketing.
The systems were billed as allowing seniors to summon medical help by using a home-based or GPS satellites. They ranged in price from $159 to $299. And they had monthly monitoring fees from $34.95 and $39.95. Scam or not a scam? Watch the video above

They were sued by the state in 2016 and charged with using deceptive and aggressive tactics, pressuring consumers into buying systems that sometimes were never delivered and often did not operate properly.
Rishty and Ansell were charged with violating the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, the Advertising Regulations, and the Telemarketing Do Not Call Law.
Among the allegations:
They failed to register as telemarketers with the state.
They made sales calls to hundreds of consumers who were on the federal "Do Not Call" list.
They continued to call consumers after the consumers asked them to remove them from their list.
They told consumers they needed the systems because of their "serious medical issues."
They sold refurbished systems there were misrepresented as brand new.
They sold GPS systems to consumers who lived outside the GPS coverage area.
They accepted consumer payments and then didn't deliver the system.
They automatically renewed consumer contracts, even though they said there were "no long-term contracts."
They charged credit card accounts of consumers who provided their credit card information but declined to buy the system.
They told consumers they would receive protection anywhere in the U.S. around the clock, even though it wasn't the case.
They failed to provide refunds when the system didn't work.
The state also said Rishty violated a 2009 consent order from when he operated United Credit Adjusters, a credit counseling and repair service that was sued by the state for violating consumer protection laws.
The settlement announced Wednesday includes $8,669 in consumer restitution.

Today was just beautiful. I had a wonderful time at the barn, spending time with the animals. Sammy our baby pony was just adorable today. He is getting a little chubby. The sky was so blue with a few puffy clouds lazily passing by, just lovely. It was a great day to be in Kentucky.
I've been working on a challenge on Melissa Phillips blog using felt. Who knew Wal-Mart even sold felt. Well I love it. You can make anything with felt, it's sturdy enough to sew and paint. I made 2 cards, one using a traced leaf made of felt that I stitched and embellished. The second card has Heidi Swapp felt butterflies attached. There are ideas brewing in my mind of felt Christmas trees!
I love love love the leaf card!!
love the felt cards! We are on the same wavelength. Is your felt the sticky back or the plain? Sammy is a doll.
Hi Amber! What an adorable pony! and I love your cards - especially the leaf one.
YOUR FELT LEAF IDEA TURNED OUT GREAT.


Rosewood insane asylum was built in 1888 with the purpose of being an Asylum and training school for the feeble minded.
Things were obviously a little different in the day and official statements would now be considered a little bit, shall we say politically incorrect. The Maryland legislature read the following regarding the hospitals purpose.
"An Act to establish and incorporate an Asylum and Training School for the Feeble Minded of the State of Maryland" (Chapter 183, Acts of 1888) which empowered a seventeen member Board of Visitors to direct the selection of a site for a school which "shall receive, care for and educate all idiotic, imbecile and feeble-minded persons".
The building was always relatively low funded from the start and this was reflected on to the patients in the form of low staffing and insufficient care. The building went through a number of changes and reached a point in the 1940's were it was particularly over crowded.
The building struggled through operating as an asylum until in 1981 it was investigated for reports of malpractice and abuse. There reports turned out to be confirmed and the building was condemned in 1989. Since then two of the buildings on the grounds have burned down and the site is now the property of Stevenson University.
As you can expect the medical treatments in the day weren't exactly the most effective and often certainly not the right course of action for the patients well being. The hospital was very often over crowded and at times was so full people had to share single rooms and the amount of care patients received was drastically decreased.
This as you can expect led to many deaths within the asylums walls, with patients often suffering greatly in their last days. The hospital was also forced to expand a burial area on its grounds during the flu epidemic when it lost a huge number of its patients.
The typical reason spirits remain in an area is often when they suffered greatly in their last moments or have unfinished business in this world, and there was certainly a lot of suffering that went on within the asylum.
Before the two buildings were burnt down there were sightings of apparitions of patients within them, which often seemed to be stuck in some kind of time loop, were they would be seen walking the same path before disappearing.
Orbs are particularly common in photos of the buildings and around the grounds, and the burial area is a common place to feel the presence of an unseen individual. Other than that evps have be captured in the still standing buildings and the faint sounds of moans coming from patients rooms sometimes echo quietly through the empty corridors.
If you wish to visit the site please contact the current owners of the lands and receive permission as the area is private property.

If you find keyboards to slow to use while reviewing videos, here's how you can use dictation on an iPhone or Android device and save a lot of time typing.
First, you need to make sure dictation is turned on. To do this, go to Settings > General > Siri, and then turn Siri on. Even if you don't want to use Siri's personal assistant features, you need to turn it on for speech recognition to work. You can choose which language you're using here, which is especially useful if you speak with an accent. For instance, if you live in the United States, but are British, you can set the language in Siri's preferences to English (United Kingdom).
You can dictate anywhere in iOS where you can enter text. For example, you can dictate comments into form field. Any time you see the small microphone icon next to the spacebar on the iOS keyboard, dictation is available. Just tap anyplace you can type text, and then tap the microphone icon to start dictating. When you're finished, tap Done and then wait for your words to be processed. It can take a few seconds for text to appear.
Don't say too much: Your voice has to be sent to a remote server, so keep your dictation segments under 30 seconds.
Find more dictation commands on Apple's website.
To use voice dictation on Android, open any app and bring up a keyboard by tapping in a text field you want to type in. Tap the microphone icon at the bottom-left corner of your keyboard.
Just start speaking to use voice dictation. Android will insert the words as you speak them.
Unfortunately, Android's list of voice dictation commands is very limited compared to the comprehensive set available on iPhone and iPad.

YouTuber Stirs Up Conspiracy Theory About Why Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Looks So Weird
Chuck E. Cheese's is denying the claims made in Shane Dawson's latest video.
by Bettina Makalintal
Feb 12 2019, 10:54pm
Before we grew up and realized that the animatronic animals were kinda creepy, that redeeming tickets was a total rip-off, and that every surface was covered in kid germs, Chuck E. Cheese's was the spot. Between games of Skee Ball and rides in the mechanical car, we ate greasy pizza and glugged down mixtures of Mr. Pibb and Mountain Dew at basically every birthday party that couldn't book the local roller rink. (RIP childhood.)
Well, leave it to YouTuber Shane Dawson to ruin that rose-tinted memory of the hottest venue of the mid-90s. Dawson is one of YouTube's biggest stars, with over 20 million subscribers, and after yesterday's video, almost 9 million of them might not be so stoked about Chuck E. Cheese's pizza. In "Investigating Conspiracies with Shane Dawson," he suggests that Chuck E. Cheese's assembles its pizzas from old, uneaten slices—an idea that's since gained traction because, honestly, the toppings, crust, and slices on Chuck E. Cheese's pies don't always line up quite right.
Screenshot from "Investigating Conspiracies with Shane Dawson" via YouTube
The video is very long, so to summarize: Interspersed with a story about an allegedly abusive man, Dawson and his companion go to Chuck E. Cheese's and order a cheese pizza and a pepperoni pizza. The pies they receive have uneven edges and pepperonis that seem to be missing their other half. "I think it's a bunch of pieces of pizza put together," Dawson says around an hour in.
Dawson didn't invent this theory—people have been suspicious for at least a decade, judging by questions posted on Yahoo! Answers—but he's popularized it on a big platform. As of this writing, the video has over 8.5 million views, almost a million upvotes, and over 200,000 comments like "Pray Chuck E Cheese doesn't sue Shane ."
Some pies do look a little suspicious, like the sausage pizza above, which was uploaded to Imgur to complain about the lack of cheese. It's more striking, though, that the slices don't line up. The ones in the bottom right corner jut out, and if you imagine lining up the crust, it does seem like dough would be missing from the center.
But according to Chuck E. Cheese's and people who claim to work there, the pies are totally fresh—and in fact, any abnormalities in the shape are the result of this made-to-order process.
"The claims made in this video about Chuck E. Cheese's and our pizza are unequivocally false," a spokesperson for the chain told Buzzfeed News. "No conspiracies here—our pizzas are made to order and we prepare our dough fresh in restaurant, which means that they're not always perfectly uniform in shape, but always delicious." (MUNCHIES has reached out to Chuck E. Cheese's for comment; we have not yet received a response.)
Alleged employees of Chuck E. Cheese's took to Twitter and Reddit to call bullshit, too. "I'm a cashier and hate my job anyway, but [Dawson's] theory is just grasping at straws," wrote one Reddit user, who chose to be identified as Jade. "We do not make a pizza until it is ordered. [...] That's why the usual time to receive a pizza is 15 to 20 minutes," Jade wrote in a message to MUNCHIES. "Any uneaten pizza that is not taken home is thrown away."
The wonky slices are because of Chuck E. Cheese's "special curved blade," another alleged employee wrote on Twitter. That claim was disputed by another user who said that, in their pizza shop experience, curved blades never resulted in "deformed" circles. But according to Jade, that's because workers slide the pizzas from the cutting board to the serving plate, which makes them "a little off" and causes them to lose some of the toppings.
Another Redditor, who claimed to have worked at both Pizza Hut and "a real pizzeria," speculated that Chuck E. Cheese's prepares several pies at a time, mixing and matching them as needed. That could explain the continuity issues on pies with halves of different toppings, but doesn't seem to account for the weird alignment of single-topping pies.
Dawson typically earns a couple million views per video with clickbaity titles like "IF YOU WATCH THIS YOU DIE" and "WE BURIED OURSELVES ALIVE!," so peddling an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory for the sake of grabbing eyeballs isn't all that surprising. Maybe Chuck E. Cheese's is passing off amalgamations of reheated slices as fully-formed pies, but this video doesn't prove it.
Personally, I'm not saying that I'm going to start seeking out Chuck E. Cheese's for dinner. But if I went to a kid's party there, I wouldn't turn down a slice—as long as I could guzzle it down with soda, and maybe win myself a dope plastic ring.

Jumping into a Hole
Since mid-2012, we were told by the White House that the war on terror was over. Unfortunately, the Islamic terrorists didn't get the memo. In order to avoid confronting that simple reality, Barack Obama adopted a policy of delay, trying hard to postpone any meaningful decisions concerning the Middle East and hoping that things would resolve themselves.
Walter Russel Mead comments:
The President is like a man who refused to jump into what he saw as too deep and dangerous of a hole [Syria], and then watched for three years while the hole grew deeper before finally taking the plunge.
The policies of delay and abstention gave ISIS an opportunity that it seized with both hands. Thanks to the policy of delay, we now face a major and strategic setback in the war on radical jihadis. While ISIS's territorial gains have shocked the world, land isn't the real problem here. ISIS was never likely to establish a caliphate that would sweep the Middle East; it's a virtual caliphate that was only able to flourish in the power vacuum created by the intersection of American abstention with imploding states in Syria and Iraq. Killing the 'caliph' and breaking up its forces are necessary tasks, but the forces of jihad will be significantly stronger after ISIS's defeat than they were before it started. Thousands of new fighters have been trained; thousands of jihadi careers are launched.
Moreover, the sheer drama of ISIS's sweeping victories in Syria and Iraq has given the jihadi cause a much needed shot in the arm. Victory, slave girls, beheadings: the feverish jihadi imagination and its depraved fantasies of orgiastic bloodletting in the name of righteousness have spread across the internet and corrupted the imaginations of alienated and vulnerable kids. Worse even than that, the core cadres of ISIS have developed qualitatively better and more sophisticated organizations. The new wave of terrorists may still have its share of ignorant looney toons, but this wave has more education, better technical skills, more Western passports, and better connections to funders than the wave that bin Laden inspired.
We needed to nip ISIS in the bud, not give it a chance to flower and spread spores across the Middle East. But the President chose to wait, steeling himself to inaction in the face of his chief military and civilian advisers. Now we'll have the worst of both worlds. We'll have all the risks and horrors of a war against ISIS, and we'll have all the risks and horrors of playing Whac-A-Mole with the next iteration of better trained and better organized jihadi nutjobs.
Through inaction, Obama's foreign policy has inadvertently enabled ISIS to expand its reign of terror. And now, this president acts anguished as he crafts a jury-rigged strategy to stop the terror that his acts of indecision and delay helped to unleash.

Vosne would be a derivative of "Vidumos" which means Forest. It is said that the Gauls who had enlisted for twenty years in Caesar's army were rewarded with a vineyard of gift that the following generations would have called Romanée. Vosne appears in written to 636/650 as the Vanoa. The great historian Claude Courtépée often said, "There is no common in Vosne wine."
The climate "Les Suchots" is located just out of the valley of Concoeur. This plot is located between the Grands Crus, in the North with "Les Echezeaux" and in South with "Le Richebourg" and "La Romanée Saint-Vivant". An ideal location for a Premier Cru. The catchment has high geological complexity, with an outcrop of marl bajociennes. The soils are calcareous brown from the limestone-clay materials of the Middle Jurassic.
This Premier Cru will taste perfectly with deer and celery puree.


There's one foot exercise you can do that can really help to reveal problems with your feet. Many people will neglect their feet. But in general, athletes, sports enthusiasts and active people everywhere understand the importance of well-functioning feet. Some, because a simple foot injury sidelined them in the past, and others because they recognise the benefits of good foot exercises for better performance.
Consisting of one quarter of the bones in your body, your feet are an engineering marvel designed to withstand huge forces, which for an athlete on the track can be up to a staggering 30 times your bodyweight. Just let that sink in for a moment – you times 30. Yep, the feet deserve some attention.
There are 20 muscles inside each foot, and another 20 muscles that act on each foot from the lower leg. These muscles need to be work together in synergy to enable you to perform at your best.
Problems arise when one muscle is being over or underused leading to imbalance, compensation and loss of efficiency.
The exercise is so simple, you can even do it right now while reading this.
• While seated, stretch one leg out in front of you and make a big, slow circles with your foot – moving only your foot and ankle.
• Now, the temptation is to rush this, but it's really important to make SLOW deliberate circles with your foot (it should take more than 10 seconds to complete one revolution).
• The key is to be able to balance your muscle action to be able to complete a full circle smoothly and deliberately.
• Take note of any small jolts, pauses and twitches as you move your foot in a circle.
• Just make a full, slow circle with your feet. Any interruption to smooth circle movements could mean you have a problem with muscles working together, and that could mean problems down the track.
Practice this until the slow circles are smooth and consistent, and you'll be training your muscles to communicate better with each other. Repeat before and after your training sessions to ensure they're still working well together.
If you're having problems doing this foot exercise, or if you find it hard to make smooth circular movements it could be an indicator of a bigger problem, and that's why this exercise is so important. From the perspective of a sports podiatrist, it's exercises like these that help to identify the best treatment approach to address the true cause of your foot problem.
If you're having trouble getting the movements right, book an appointment to see a podiatrist who uses foot mobilisation and manual therapy in their approach to improving foot function and mobility.
It really helped when you said that the feet deserve some attention. I completely agree that we should also focus on the needs of our feet just like the other parts of our body. An exercise intended for the feet will be beneficial.


The mercury might have plummeted to below freezing, but a bit of snow and ice didn't put these hardy souls off braving the wintry conditions to help clean up their local environment.
As part of Keep Britain Tidy's nationwide annual Great British Spring Clean, LOVEmyBEACH organised a 10-mile beach clean relay across Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre to help clear the coastline of litter.
Starting at a snow-covered St Annes beach, 10 relay teams each walked approximately one mile of the coast, collecting litter in a variety of weather conditions. Fortunately for the volunteers, as the teams walked northwards through Blackpool and up to Cleveleys the snow cleared and the sun shone brightly.
More than 75 adults and 20 children took part in the event and together cleared over 100kg of litter from the Fylde coast.
Those involved included current LOVEmyBEACH volunteers, staff from the Sea Life Centre, Madame Tussauds, Blackpool Tower, C2V construction, BIU, Lytham Sixth Form, year 5 students from Rossall School and members of the general public.
Bispham resident Les Pilkington attended his first beach clean as part of the event and said: "I really enjoyed the afternoon; it's been great to give something back to the local community.
"Everyone who lives in the area wants the beach to be clean, so I thought why not do something about it?
Emma Whitlock, Fylde BeachCare Officer, added: "At first, the snowy conditions made it very hard for the volunteers to see the litter hidden under the blanket of fresh snow and we were concerned we might have to cancel the event.
"However, as the tides changed and the sun began to shine the beach was revealed again and we were back to business.


One of Christ's most remarkable characteristic is, even though He is the Son of God, He laid down His rights as part of the God head and became a man.
He felt the same pain we feel.
He probably even suffered from seasonal allergies a time or two, but all this He did because He loved us.
He gave His life because He loved us.
to bring us life again.
He died because that was they only way.
But He rose again to prove that we are never too far from His love.
To prove His greatness and majesty.
To demonstrate His vicarious victory of the grave.
He rose again to remind us that we are more than conquers through His blood.
As we begin this holy week I pray we always live to bring Him glory alone.

Adriana Karembeu (born Adriana Sklena��kov�, September 17, 1971(1971-09-17)) is a Slovak fashion model.
She was born to a Slovak mother and Czech father in Brezno, a small town of central Slovakia (then part of Czechoslovakia). Having originally studied medicine in Prague, Adriana gave up her studies to become a model. On December 22, 1998, she married French football player Christian Karembeu and took his name. She was also one of the models for Wonderbra and was very popular in Europe for her Wonderbra billboards. She lives permanently in Paris, but she has also lived in various cities in Europe such as Athens and Madrid. Her 49-inch long legs earned her an entry in The Guinness Book of World Records.
