On a recent weekend stay in Opelousas, I attended a benefit fundraiser in the town of Krotz Springs.
Bennett's Benefit, held at the park in the town, was organized to help a family with their baby boy's special medical needs. The turn out for this event was amazing. There were hundreds of people in attendance, and all were there for the right reason. Those citizens of this small town all came together and helped for this most deserving cause. To me that showed this was a town with a big heart.
As I rode to the event site, I noticed the banners hanging on poles proclaiming the 100th anniversary of the town. Being the history buff that I am, I began thinking about that, and wondered what it must have been like in 1917 when the Village of Krotz Springs was officially incorporated. Let's talk about that.
During the late 1800s, land was being sold in a wooded area of St. Landry Parish near Melville; a small village settled about 1889, located some 30 miles from Opelousas. At that same time, a thousand of acres of other wooded land was offered for sale. This area, just 12 miles to the south of Melville and 20 miles east of Opelousas, was known as Latanier (sometimes spelled Latannier). Since all the land being sold was located on or near the Atchafalaya River, many surveyors and speculator came to St. Landry Parish from different areas the U.S. One of those speculators was a man named Charles William Krotz, a native of Ohio, who arrived in about 1899.
Known as C.W., Krotz was born in Defiance, Ohio, in 1856. The son of German immigrant Charles Krotz (1821-1908) and Pennsylvania native Elizabeth Brubaker, he grew to manhood in Ohio and in 1881 married Charlotte (Lottie) Dolkie (1861-1949), The couple settled in Defiance where their two children Alva and Olive were born.
Krotz became a land speculator and an entrepreneur. When he learned of the land available in Louisiana, he immediately made his way there, and set up his land business at Melville, by that time a village of about 250 inhabitants. Krotz purchased thousands of acres of land around the community, and in 1900, he cleared hundreds of acres and began platting out a town. By 1904, the town had grown to a population of over 1,000, and became the Melville we know today. Some claim Krotz was the "father" of Melville because of this.

C.W. was quite a salesman, and he made a profit from the land he sold at Melville. While he was in the process of developing that town, he was also purchasing and clearing land at Latanier. He drilled for oil there in 1900, but instead struck water, a very special mineral water. Rather than being a disappointment, Krotz turned it into an opportunity. Immediately he began to promote his mineral water, and his idea to create a town and build a resort around his water well.
He bottled his water and sold it as a cure for a number of ailments including rheumatism, gallstones, kidney disorders and stomach troubles. He also claimed it was a cure for malaria, drunkenness and the "seven-year itch." He called it the "greatest bathing water in the world."
Word about this water spread throughout the area, and before long people began traveling a long distance to get to Latanier to try a sip. An article in the Dec. 14, 1907, St. Landry Clarion newspaper describes the water as follows: "It tastes like 'the morning after' when you first get it." At that time it was only sold by the pint, but later was put into smaller bottles.
While promoting his water, Krotz was also continuing with his plans to further develop the Latanier community. Sometime about 1908, he tried to get the community incorporated, but it seems there was another place with that same town name in Rapides Parish, and his request was denied because the postal service refused to accept the name of Latanier for his community. But he continued with his plans to build the town anyway.
C. W. envisioned a grand hotel on the site, and formed a corporation called the Krotz Springs Hotel Company with himself as president. In 1909, he formed the Krotz Springs Mineral Water Company Limited. During that year the railroad completed track to the area, and promised to construct a railroad bridge over the river. At the same time, C.W. had a map drawn of the proposed town, and started a promotion campaign to get folks to purchase lots. On Wednesday, Feb. 3 1909, he held an auction sale of lots at "Krotz's Mineral Springs." Those interested traveled by train to the area. They were served a lunch and provided with entertainment as they viewed his map of the proposed "town" and looked over the land. Some of the lots, selling for $100 each, were purchased that day. But the sale did not go as well as Krotz anticipated. Nevertheless, he continued with his plan and after the first 100 lots were sold, he upped the price per lot and sold more at $150 to $200 each.

By 1910, bottled Krotz Water was available in several stores in downtown Opelousas, as well as other areas of the country. And for a number of years, Krotz Water was served on railroad diner cars. And as his new community grew and more people settled there, his special water was piped to the houses in the village.
Sometime around 1913, the community he started changed its name from Latanier to Krotz Springs. During that year, the St. Landry Clarion newspaper in Opelousas announced Krotz Springs was not yet a town, but it had a fine up-to-date hotel. Mr. George Mathas opened it. Although it was not the kind of hotel Krotz had envisioned, according to all reports was doing very well. The newspaper also reported Krotz Springs was being joined to the rest of the parish, westward towards Opelousas by a public road, and towards the east town of Livonia by a bridge that was being planned across the Atchafalaya River. The article went on to say it looked like the citizens of the area would have their own voting place, with an approval from the St. Landry Parish Police Jury expected in the near future.
In 1915, Krotz formed another corporation to further market his water and his town. The Standard Water Company was created with C.W. Krotz, A.W. Krotz and J.K. Doak as officers. According to the charter, the purpose of the company was "to take over and raise money to promote and build up the town of Krotz Springs." And great plans were proposed to "build a glass factory and a crate factory to manufacture bottles and crates for shipment of water--all of which would quickly build up a little city at Krotz Springs."
C.W. imagined his village would become a town like the one in Indiana knows as French Lick Springs. That town was centered around a mineral spring, such as the one C.W. discovered in Louisiana, and had grown to be a fine resort area, with hotels, a casino, and entertainment venues, attracting many national politicians, celebrities and other famous people from throughout the US. But none of that was meant to be.
However, the town did continue to develop, and in 1916 Krotz sold a little over five acres of land to the St. Landry Parish School Board for $900. The School Board sold $12,000 in bonds to build a school in Krotz Springs. A two-story brick building was erected on the site. Krotz, always the dealmaker, entered into an agreement to sell water to the school from his well for $50 a year for a 10-year period.
In 1917, C.W. was successful at his second attempt to get his community incorporated. The State of Louisiana officially approved the incorporation of the Village of Krotz Springs on January 6th of that year, with a proclamation signed by Governor R. G. Pleasant. More property was sold, new businesses started and the new village continued to grow.
And although his "dream town" was established and was growing, his businesses were not always as successful. Many of them had to be sold at sheriff sales, and others closed down when no profits were being made.
Charles W. Krotz died Dec. 17, 1925, in the Village of Krotz Springs. He was buried in his village in the St. Anthony Catholic Church Cemetery that his family donated in 1920. His obituary that ran in the Clarion-Progress Newspaper in Opelousas two days later read, "Col. C.W. Krotz in the face of great handicaps and difficulties won a high place at an early age in the business world. Deprived of a college education, he was nevertheless one of the best-informed men in this area in business affairs and financial topics of national interest. He had a boundless and irrepressible faith in the Town of Krotz Springs and in the future and in the medicinal efficacy of the mineral water. He was a builder, a doer, a constructor, and it is wonderful to contemplate his accomplishments in view of this lack of funds and resources."
Unfortunately, C.W. did not live to see the event that insured the survival of his Krotz Springs community. In 1932-33, the Huey Long–O.K. Allen highway bridge over the Atchafalaya River at Krotz Springs was constructed and opened to traffic. Now the little village was truly connected to the rest of the parish and the state.
On Jan. 28, 1949, Mrs. Charles W. Krotz (Charlotte Dolkie) died at her home in Krotz Springs. Like her husband, she was buried in the Catholic Church Cemetery. Her obituary reported she was a pioneer setter of Louisiana. It also stated she was known for her great baking skills, especially for her famous lemon pies, which she made for church fairs, birthdays and other event in Krotz Springs.
So a century has gone by since Krotz Springs officially became a village. And on April 13, 1955, having reached a population of over 1000 inhabitants, it was incorporated as a town, officially declared by Gov. Robert Kennon. And this year that town is celebrating its 100th anniversary, with a big spectacular festival scheduled for the July 4.

Josphat Kimani Muiruri v Ng'ang'a Kabugua 2013] eKLR
Josphat Kimani Muiruri v Ng'ang'a Kabugua
High Court at Nyeri
Antony Ombwayo
Land and Environment
Dismissed with costs
IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT NYERI
ENVIRONMENT & LAND COURT
CIVIL APPEAL NO.79 OF 2008
JOSPHAT KIMANI MUIRURI.......................APPELLANT
NG'ANG'A KABUGUA.........................RESPONDENTS
J U D G M E N T
The genesis of this matter is Land Dispute Case No.58 of 2004 between Josphat Kimani Muiruri hereinafter referred to as the appellant and Ng'ang'a Kabuga hereinafter referred to as the respondent.
In brief, the respondent instituted a claim against the appellant before the Makuyu Land Disputes Tribunal on the 21/9/2004.
The respondent appeared before the Tribunal and complained that his mother's land Loc.17/Sabasaba/113 had been transferred to the name of Muiruri Kimani and then subsequently to the appellant. The appellant conceded that the land was transferred to Muiriru Kimani and finally to him. He is currently the registered proprietor of the parcel of land. The documents produced during the hearing at the Tribunal were the Green Card and title deed which showed that the property was registered in the name of the appellant.
In a nutshell, the Makuyu Land Disputes Tribunal held that the appellant was a distant relative and had no business inheriting Nyambura Kabura Ngoro's property. Moreover the Tribunal found that some of the documents presented by the appellant were false. They concluded that the respondent was the sole inheritor of the late Nyambura Kabugua Ngoro'sland parcel No.Loc.17/Sabasaba/113.
The appellant herein appealed to the Central Provincial Land Appeals Committee on grounds that he was the owner of the parcel of land.
The respondent argued that the land belonged to his step mother who brought him up after the death of his mother. He left the land with the respondent who lived with her and kept her.
The appeals committee held that the land should lawfully go to the respondent and should rightfully belong to him. The appeal was dismissed on 30/7/2008 and the appellant given 60 days to appeal to the High Court.
The Memorandum of Appeal dated 17/9/2008 filed on 26/9/2008 is based on grounds of appeal that the Provincial Appeal Committee and the District Tribunal erred in Law in hearing the dispute of plot number Loc.17/Sabasaba/113 without any jurisdiction. Moreover, that the Provincial Appeals Committee and the District Tribunal erred in Law in challenging the indefeasible title of the appellant and that the Provincial Appeals Committee and the District Tribunal exceeded the powers conferred by Section 3 of the Land Dispute Tribunal Act No.18 of 1990 and determined issues of ownership. Lastly that the Provincial Appeals Committee and the District Tribunal exceeded their powers by awarding Land parcel No.Loc.17/Sabasaba/113 to the respondent.
The appellant filed written submissions whose gravamen is that both the Central Provincial Appeals Committee and the Makuyu Land District Tribunal lacked jurisdiction to entertain the dispute as they entertained a matter touching on title and thus ownership of land.
The respondent also filed submission whose gravamen is that the appeal was dismissed summarily on grounds that no point of law existed to justify the appeal. The refusal to admit the appeal should have marked the end to the matter. The respondent further contends that the appeal lacks merit as the Land Disputes Appeals Committee had duly confirmed the award.
This court has gone through the proceedings of the Tribunal, proceedings of the Appeals' Committee and do find that the Tribunal was improperly constituted when 12 members sat to deliberate on the dispute whilst the law as it then was is very clear .Section 4 of the Land Disputes Tribunal Act no 18 of 1990(repealed) established a Tribunal that was called Land Disputes Tribunal for every registration district. Each tribunal consisted of a chairman who was appointed from time to time by a District Commissioner from a panel of elders appointed under section 5 of the Act and either two or four elders selected by the District commissioner from a panel of elders appointed under section 5. This court finds that constituting a panel of 12 members was a both a procedural impropriety and an illegality that makes the finding of the tribunal illegal. This alone renders the decision of the Makuyu Land Dispute Tribunal a nullity.
On the issue of jurisdiction section 3(1) of the land Disputes Tribunal Act no 18 of 1990 now repealed by Environment and Land Court Act No.19 of 2011 did not cloth the Land Disputes Tribunals with jurisdiction to adjudicate on a dispute on ownership. The fact that the appellant was the registered proprietor of the parcel of land should have been considered by the Land Dispute Tribunal to hold that they had no jurisdiction to adjudicate on ownership and therefore should have downed their tools. In Owners of the Motor vessel "Lilians" -VS- Caltex Oil(k) Ltd Civil Appeal No.50 of 1989 the Court of Appeal held that a court of law should down its tools in respect of the matter before it the moment it holds the opinion that it is without jurisdiction.The same applies to Tribunals and quasi -judicial bodies.
The Tribunal also appeared to have adjudicated on the estate of the late Nyambura Kabugua. Section 3(1) of the Land Disputes Act does not confer unto the Tribunal the power to entertain a dispute premised on succession . I agree with counsel for the appellant that in finding that the respondent was entitled to inherit the property of the late Nyambura Kabugua, the Tribunal was wading into the jurisdiction of the High Court to adjudicate succession Disputes under the provision of Section 47 of the Laws of Succession Act Cap 160.
This court finds that both decision of the Makuyu Land Disputes Tribunal and Central Provincial Land Disputes Tribunal were substantively ultra vires as they both lacked jurisdiction and procedurally ultra vires as the members who sat exceeded the number authorized by law. The leading authority on the principle of procedural ultra vires is the decision of Lord Reid in Anisminic Ltd v Foreign Compensation Commission(1969)1 ALL ER 208 where he states thus :
…... there are many cases where, although the tribunal had jurisdiction to enter on the inquiry, it has done or failed to do something in the course of the inquiry which is of such a nature that its decision is a nullity. It may have given its decision in bad faith. It may have made a decision which it had no power to make. It may have failed in the course of the inquiry to comply with the requirement of natural justice. It may in perfect good faith have misconstrued the provisions giving it power to act so that it failed to deal with the question remitted to it and decided some question which was not remitted to it. It may have refused to take into account something which it was required to take into account. Or it may have based its decision on some matter which, under the provisions setting it up, it had no right to take into account. I do not intend this list to be exhaustive. But if it decides a question remitted to it for decision without committing any of these errors it is as much entitled to decide that question wrongly as it is to decide it rightly.
The upshot of the above is that the appeal is allowed. The award of Makuyu Land Disputes Tribunal and the decision of the Central Provincial Appeals Committee are hereby set aside. The respondents claim in the Tribunal is dismissed with costs to the appellant.
Dated and Delivered at Nyeri this 29th day of November 2013

As both a fairly seasoned traveler and a resident of Italy, I have some experience in packing for travel here to share with you.
Packing for summer and winter are fairly easy here…in the winter it will be cold and rainy or cold and snowy depending on how far north or south you are in the country…in the summer it will be hot, damn hot…in August you will melt…you need a bathing suit and sunscreen.
In spring and fall the weather here is extremely variable. This is not just based on where you will be in the country, of course the more northern regions, like Milan, Como and Venice, will tend to be cooler. But within regions temperatures and weather can vary significantly…and by significantly I mean within 10C/20F within a day or two.
Pack layers—this is key, when you set off in the morning you will want an average of three or four…by late afternoon you could be down to the final layer. I prefer skinny strapped tank tops, short sleeved shirts, light sweaters and a light jacket. These all pack easily.
Always pack a bathing suit…you never know when a gorgeous beach day will present itself…it could happen in April or October.
Do not forget to pack shoes for various climates…cold feet do not make for comfortable walking tours. To save packing space wear the bulkiest shoes you will be bringing on the plane.
Pack the smallest umbrella you can find…there are generally people selling them when storms pop up, but it is nice to have one ready and it will rain in both the spring and fall.
Make sure to reserve some room in your luggage for shopping…if you do not find at least five adorable things you want to buy here then you are, indeed, unusual.
If you are arriving on a Sunday make sure that you have all of your necessary toiletries…depending on where you are staying it may be difficult to find them on Sundays (or especially the Monday after Easter) and going two days without a toothbrush is never pleasant.
On a final note, make sure to get a good sized memory card for your camera and pack extra batteries…you will take a HUGE amount of photos here.


Traditionally made Montepulciano d'Abruzzo from one of the oldest wineries in Abruzzo..
The PIetrantonj philosophy dictates that the maturation of red wines is carried out in oak casks of medium and large capacity, in order to ensure that the qualities of the grape are faithfully preserved.
With records dating back to 1791, and an official start in 1830, the house of Italo Pietrantonj is as old as it gets for wineries from Abruzzo. Eight winemaking generations deep, Pietrantonj is rich with family heritage and tradition. The winery is now run by two sisters, Roberta and Alice, whose great-great-great grandfather Nicola was the first certified winemaker in the Abruzzo region, gaining a diploma from the Royal School of Conegliano Veneto in 1889. The estate farms just over 60 hectares of estate vineyards high up rolling hills of the Apennine Mountains. To this day, the house shows off its 9,500 gallon oak and walnut barrels from 1870, and two 37,000 gallon tanks lined with beautiful Murano tiles that were built in 1893.
The estate vineyards lie in the area between Vittorito and Corfinio, at elevations ranging between 350 and 400 metres. The vines enjoy superb exposure to sunlight, while the local terroirs receive abundant ventilation and experience significant temperature differences between day and night, thanks to the nearby Sirente, Maiella, and Morrone mountains that surround the Valle Peligna.
The soils, which are medium textured, primarily clay but rich in organic material, give an assertive character to the wines that is classic to the area and characteristic of the wines grown on the mid- and high-level hillslopes. These conditions, markedly different from those in the plains or next to the coast, decisively favor the ripening process of the grapes, developing and concentrating the aromatic compounds and keeping acidity levels high.
The 2015 'Black Label' Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a wine made in the traditional style. 100% Montepulciano from 30 year old owned vineyards on clay soils. Fermented in stainless steel followed by aging for 7 months in large 40HL Slovenian oak barrels. 12.5% alc.. It is a lovely wine full of dried floral and fruit notes complemented by soft leather and earthy aromas offering plenty of full flavors yet staying very pure and fresh so that the fruit is not masked, nor is too heavy in body. It is a lovely accompaniment to all sorts of game, as well as pasta dishes with hearty sauces.
100% Montepulciano - A classically styled rosé from the Abruzzo region where the grapes are sourced solely from the Collina Tesa vineyard. After a very gentle pressing, the juice is macerated for 12-16 hours with the skins in order to impart a perfect cherry hue. Fantastically fresh, bright, floral, and loaded with lovely earth tones. This Cerasuolo is the ideal of a dry yet full rosé. A real contrast to the ocean of light rosé available today.


You don'tt have to participate in all 7 of her 26.2-mile runs, but you can pick a day to join her for the last 3.1 miles of her run. For a suggested donation of $25 you can run as many days as you like and received a T-shirt you may wear during your participation. Be part of the Team and encourage Eva along as you support military families. The routes will be posted on her website, however are subject to change.

British yachtsmen may have been hijacked
Unconfirmed reports of three sailors kidnapped off Somalia
There are unconfirmed reports that a yacht with three British citizens on board has been hijacked by Somalian pirates in the Indian Ocean.
The Foreign Office has confirmed that it is 'aware of this report' and is trying to check the information.
Andrew Mwangura, coordinator of the East African Seafarers Assistance Programme, told Reuters his organisation had been told that a yacht had been boarded by pirates near the Seychelles.
He said: 'We as yet don't have the name of the yacht nor do we know the gender of the crew, but we are trying to verify this information which we learnt of this evening (Monday).'
But Mr Mwangura said that other reports had suggested that the yacht was hijacked near Lamu Island off Kenya or near Brava in southern Somalia.
This latest incident comes more than a year since British couple Paul and Rachel Chandler were kidnapped by Somalian pirates in their Rival 38, while sailing from the Seychelles to Tanzania and they are still being held hostage in the lawless African nation.

Readers Write In #305: Mismatched On Netflix Is More Miss Than Match
(by Vikas Yadav)
Based on the novel "When Dimple Met Rishi" by Sandhya Menon, the new coming-of-age romance on Netflix titled Mismatched is more miss than match. The USP here is clearly the lead Prajakta Koli, the MostlySane on YouTube, playing 17-year-old Dimple Ahuja with a love for Java and an ambition of developing apps. Her mother has different plans. She dedicates her energy to finding a boy for Dimple. Yes, she is 17 but age is just a number, right? As far as she is concerned, Dimple can start an Internet cafe and simultaneously perform the role of a wife. When asked why such a hurry, she explains that the task of finding "The Right One" is time-consuming, and so one must start as early as possible. When she is offered a summer course at Aravalli Institute, Jaipur, her mother agrees for admission – a surprising decision that initially leaves Dimple high on respect and love for her mother. Dimple's father gives approval too. Little does Dimple know about the matchmaking scheme.
Enter Rishi (Rohit Saraf), a mild-mannered 18-year-old Rajput who falls for Dimple, at first sight, thanks to the photo on the matrimonial site. He is a filmy, hopeless romantic whose stalker-y nature is shadowed by Saraf's innocent face (typical movie hero stuff). He finds her college and takes admission to be in close proximity. But Rishi and Dimple are endearing, and so you may find yourself rooting for them to get together, albeit not every time. Supporting RIshi in his quest, along comes Namrata (Devyani Shorey), his life-long best friend. She is close enough to let others speculate on them being a couple. Even Rishi's grandmother thinks their marriage would be right. Best friends not acknowledging romance. Now, where have I seen this before? Mismatched gives a justification for their "just friends" relationship status, which honestly felt like an indolent effort towards the inclusion of a gay romance. Why the hell can't a straight boy and a straight girl be just friends?
It's not that they go anywhere remotely engaging with the queer angle. I could spot the twist from miles away due to its particular way of straining on this specific aspect. Predictability is not an issue if treated with a solid beat. Unfortunately, that beat is missing. Some interesting characters like Zeenat (Vidya Malavade), a 41-year-old student among the teenagers trying to start afresh, and a cool I-don't-care Professor Siddharth Sinha (Rannvijay Singha) remain on the surface. The writing is too weak to do any justice. All you get are half-baked ideas. As if gay subversion was not enough, Mismatched seemingly avoids a love triangle with Vihaan's character only to confirm your notions as a cliffhanger for the finale. Talking of finale, Mismatched shoehorns a weird gaming match lacking in basic thrill or excitement. You know who will be crowned as the winner. The commentators in our films and shows are not improving anytime soon.
That is not to say Mismatched is all bugs and no fun. It is entertaining to watch the enactments whenever a new idea for an app is pitched. I liked the one about rich and poor and another about an anti-social app. Somewhere in Mismatched, there is a gutsy idea trying to expose the problematic nature of falling head over heels with someone you meet on the Internet. These moments reveal themselves at certain points, like in the scene where Dimple finds out a secret relating to Rishi's parents. Then there is the case of broken trust that contributes to the season finale. Unfortunately, they are not polished enough to shine with meritorious intensity. Going forward, I suspect the show, instead of building on this idea, would fall under a rom-com cliche.
If introspected from another direction, one can blame Mismatched's generic treatment on the plans for the second season. But then, there must be something to hold on to so that the viewers could return with some enthusiasm. And it doesn't help when you spend time thinking about the arc of a rickshaw wala. I mean, the autos on the campus lose their customers because someone on their vehicle would come and pick them up. However, not towards the end when a character finally uses an auto to commute to her destination. It is definitely not a good sign for the show when your mind focuses on trivial issues, deviating from the main characters and their problems. Mismatched contains errors in specific lines that need to be debugged.

Oh, somebody else watched this? I agree that there were some entertaining moments. The problematic part for me was the obnoxious teacher. "I'm being a bullying sexist prick because I want to challenge her". This kind of person was "cool" only in the 80s. Ugh, but he's actually a good actor, turning this bad writing into a believable character.
Why don't you review series on OTT platforms? It would be awesome to see you sink in to some interesting Indian series like Sacred Games, Family Man or Paatal Lok. Is it that you're not interested in watching series or is it that you don't like reviewing them? Or would you rather not spend that much time on one piece?


OCS New Zealand has had a brilliant start to the year, scooping up an award from the Air Transport World (ATW) Airline Industry Awards for the second year in a row.
Crowned the Best Airport Facilities Management Company in New Zealand by the International Transport News Magazine, OCS ANZ managing director Gareth Marriott says it's fantastic to be able to start the year with an award under our belts.
In New Zealand, OCS operate at all New Zealand airports and provide services to a number of airlines including our national carrier, Air New Zealand.
With 30-years aviation experience in New Zealand, OCS general manager northern region Ian West says airports continue to be very exciting and invigorating environments to be associated with.
"The last four years has seen extensive growth in passenger numbers into New Zealand. Being part of this exciting growth phase has seen OCS having to change to meet this accelerated growth.
Mr Marriott says these awards celebrate the trailblazers of the industry and are a great recognition of the efforts of our people at all levels of the organisation.

Franklin stays perfect in WNCAC
Marlon Morgan
Citizen-Times correspondent
SYLVA – After picking up a hard-fought, 21-7 victory at Smoky Mountain High Friday night, this week's homecoming game will take on a whole new meaning for Franklin.
The Panthers haven't played a game on their field since September 11. But that hasn't stopped Franklin from improving 5-2 overall, 3-0 in the WNC Athletic 2-A/3-A Conference.
"It's always nice to get back home and our kids take a lot of pride playing at home and defending home turf," Franklin coach Josh Brooks said. "We're looking forward to that. It's been a tough go for the last five weeks, but our kids have handled it awesomely.
"I think it's a testament to my coaching staff and the preparation they put in, but it's also a testament to our kids. They just take it to the field. It doesn't matter if it's home or away. They're playing with great effort right now. We're making a lot of mistakes, but we're making them playing full speed. I don't want to tone that back. I just want to keep fighting."
That effort saw the Panthers defense stifle the Mustangs offense for most of the night, thanks to Franklin's ball-control offense that allowed the defense to remain fresh.
The Panthers got 140 yards rushing from Kelton Lowry on 24 carries, and just enough key passes from quarterback Jackson Perone (5 of 14 for 48 yards and a touchdown) to keep Smoky Mountain guessing.
"It was a tough game. We had to earn everything we got," Brooks said. "It was a big win for us on the road. You can tell Smoky was very well-coached. They were prepared to play and they played with a lot of effort. Tonight was a challenge for us and that's what we needed."
The Mustangs scored on the game's opening drive when quarterback Chase Fisher, who returned to the lineup after being sidelined with a hamstring injury, connected with Eli Cole on a 60-yard touchdown pass.
Franklin got on the board late in the first half when on a 21-yard touchdown pass from Perone to Jordin Nugent. The point after touchdown was missed, giving the Mustangs a 7-6 halftime lead.
The Panthers scored on their first possession of the second half on Lowry's 30-yard run, followed by a two-point conversion on Perone's pass to Hunter Gibbs. From there, Franklin's defense shut down the Mustangs. Smoky Mountain had just three second-half first downs and was intercepted twice.
The Mustangs were unable to run the ball, picking up just 39 yards on 24 carries. That allowed the Panthers to focus on blitzing Fisher, who completed 8 of 14 passes for 70 yards and had defenders in his face most of the night.
"We didn't execute very well offensively," Smoky Mountain coach Dave Napert said. "They brought a lot of blitzes on us. Defensively, we played pretty solid. We were on the field too long."
"We need to protect our quarterback better. He needed a chance to get the ball out of there and we weren't getting very good pass protection. They took (the run game). They pretty much always do. They've got one of the best defenses around. They did a great job beating us upfront."
Franklin will host North Henderson Friday while Smoky Mountain entertains East Henderson.

Rudolph or Rudolf (Latin: Rodulfus, French: Rodolphe; c. 890 – 14/15 January 936) was the elected King of France from 923 until his death in 936. Prior to his election as king, he was Duke of Burgundy and Count of Troyes from 921. He was the son of Richard, Duke of Burgundy and Adelaide of Auxerre inheriting the Duchy of Burgundy from his father. He married Emma of France, daughter of king Robert I of France. He is frequently confused with his uncle Rudolph I of Burgundy.
Rudolph was elected king of West Francia in 923 by an assembly of Frankish nobles, to succeed his father-in-law Robert I who was killed in battle against the deposed king Charles the Simple. He was crowned by Walter, Archbishop of Sens at St.Médard in Soissons on Sunday, 13 July 923. On assuming the crown he passed the Duchy of Burgundy to his younger brother Hugh the Black.
In contemporary Latin documents, his name is usually Rodulfus, from the Germanic roots hruod, "glory", and wulf, "wolf". Rodulf and Rudolf are variants of this name; the French form is Rodolphe. By contrast, the king is normally known as Raoul in modern French, a name which derives from Radulfus, from Germanic rad, "counsel", and wulf. Although this name is of different origin, it was sometimes used interchangeably by contemporaries with Rodulfus. The king himself, however, always, used Rodulfus, as on his personal seal. Nonetheless, he is sometimes called Ralph (from Raoul) or Radulf in English.
The deposed Charles the Simple was still alive and claimed the throne. This was solved when Rudolph's brother-in-law, Herbert II, Count of Vermandois, who was married to Emma's sister, tricked Charles, a fellow Carolingian, into meeting and then took him prisoner.
Rudolph's first act was to lead an army against the king of East Francia Henry the Fowler, who had made a pact with King Robert I at Jülich earlier in the year. After trying to annex Lotharingia Henry met Rudolph with a considerably-sized army and made peace again. However, in 925 Henry attacked Gilbert, Duke of Lorraine and took over Lotharingia permanently, Rudolph being in no position to resist.
In 924 Vikings made a fresh series of raids into West Francia. From the Loire Valley they threatened Hugh the Great, brother of Queen Emma, but Rudolph did nothing. Soon they attacked Burgundy, domain of Rudolph's brother and were repulsed, moving on to Melun, where they threatened the royal lands. Joined only by his ecclesiastic vassals and Herbert, he recruited troops in Burgundy, while Hugh the Great was convinced to join him. After Vikings left, the Normans, whom Charles the Simple had settled in Duchy of Normandy in 911, began ravaging that whole region. Herbert and Arnulf I of Flanders joined Rudolph and together they took Eu, but were ambushed near Fauquembergues where the king was wounded, the Count of Ponthieu killed, and many Normans left dead on the field.

Male Drivers Lost Longer Than Women
Reluctance to ask for directions leads men to drive an extra 276 miles a year.
By SCOTT MAYEROWITZ
New GPS Avoids Traffic
Oct. 26, 2010— -- The old stereotype might be true: Men really don't like to ask for directions and are willing to circle around aimlessly forever, or at least longer than women.
The average male drives an extra 276 miles every year as a result of being lost -- the equivalent to a journey from Cincinnati to Nashville -- compared to 256 miles for women, according to a study by British car insurance company Sheila's Wheels.
More than one out of four men -- 26 percent -- wait at least half an hour before asking for directions, with a stubborn 12 percent refusing to ask a stranger for help at all.
No wonder they rack up all those extra miles.
"Our research not only reveals that men aren't quite as confident behind the wheel as they make out when it comes to navigation but also that women are in control when it comes to modern motoring," noted Jacky Brown of Sheilas' Wheels.
The study didn't address which gender is more likely to get lost; just which sex is more likely to ask for directions.

But it's not just wasted time. Sheila's Wheels estimated the cost of gas used by each man driving around lost and reluctant to ask for help could add up to thousands of dollars over a lifetime.
"Wow, this reminds me of the song by [the Village People], 'Macho Man,'" said Anne Fleming, of Women-Drivers.com, a site that reviews female-friendly car dealerships. "With more stay-at-home dads today, has much really changed as it relates to machismo in the past 40 years?"
For women, it's almost the exact opposite. Almost three-quarters of women -- 74 percent -- have no qualms about asking for directions, with 37 percent admitting to pulling over as soon as they realize they are lost, compared to just 30 percent of men.
"Men are more confident and that sometime sense of blind confidence can get in the way of asking for assistance, like they will appear needy when they so ask," Fleming said. "Women are more quick to overrun their own confidence and let intuition carry the day. The fun of the hunt or gamesmanship of it appeals less to her."
Which Gender Gets Lost More?
According to the research, more than a third of motorists would rather ask a woman than a man for directions. Perhaps that is wise given that 41 percent of men have pretended they knew where they were going when actually lost, compared to a more trustworthy 26 percent of women.
"It's disappointing to hear that British men are so directionally-challenged," said Robert Sinclair, a spokesman for AAA in New York. "With gasoline so expensive across the pond, and driving around lost contributing to extra air pollution, we think that men and women need to swallow their pride and consult route-planning software."
Sinclair noted that AAA will plan out routes for travelers. He suggested getting AAA TripTiks even if you have a satellite navigation device, just in case the machine suffers a lapse.
In fact, the research revealed that people older than 55 generally have the best sense of direction, getting lost just 26 times a year, on average. That's better than the satellite-navigation generation -- motorists younger than 25 got lost, on average, 37 times a year.
Motorists in their mid-30s are more likely to stop and ask for directions -- taking less than 15 minutes to pull over, on average, compared to those younger than 25, who take more than 22 minutes to ask for help.
"With GPS now, there's no excuse for anyone to ever get lost," said George Hobica, president of airfarewatchdog.com. "But while men are often chastised for not asking for directions, I can't count the number of times I've stopped and been told that by my would-be guide that he wasn't from these parts and had no idea how to get where I was going; that, or I was given the wrong directions.
"Of course," he said, "that's better than being told, as in the old Bert and I joke: 'Come to think of it, you can't get there from here!'"

Caton's Island is a unique place. Situated in the Long Reach, the 120 acre island is a small piece of paradise. Originally named "Emenenic" – meaning 'Isle of Prayers' or 'Meeting Place' – a historical monument marks it as the first European settlement in New Brunswick, est. 1611.
Take a walk along the scenic trails that wind through the old-growth forest of massive hemlock, mighty oaks, and towering pines. Visit the remote beaches to sit in quiet solitude, and take in the splendid beauty of the river dotted with sailboats. View wildlife, such as eagles, osprey, and owls, along with deer, rabbits, partridge, raccoons, and the various shorebirds, which often make their home here.
You'll soon realize that there is something extra-ordinary about this Eden. To all this, add energetic campers having fun playing, swimming, or worshiping God, and you will begin to grasp the true distinctiveness of Caton's as a summer camp – a place where kids learn, grow, and experience life.
Camp can be a big event in the life of a child. As such it can have high impact. Major life changing decisions and prioritization of values can happen at camp. Both staff and campers benefit from the camaraderie, shared experiences and spiritual training that are part of camp.
Following is a list of the dynamics that make camp "WORTH IT".
Relationships – Camp is all about relationships. The friendships built and the bands of brothers and sisters developed at camp allow people to create lifelong friendships that are positive and fulfilling.
Mentoring – Kids need heroes and camp provides them. Staff can have a tremendous impact on campers.
Activities – Challenge, risk taking, fun and excitement, skill development and passion fulfillment are some of the natural outcomes of activities. Rock climbing, zip-lines, swimming, water trampolines, canoeing, field games and campfires do more than fill time. Overcoming fear, pushing beyond perceived limits, shared laughs, adrenaline rushes, relaxation and skill development all have their place in the holistic development of a child, socially, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Activities provide a comfortable and fun context to build relationships, build self-esteem and just plain have fun.
Life Training – Camp provides an opportunity to teach life lessons such as respect and living in community along with the value of daily exercise, discovering nature and quiet time.
Energy – Momentum is created when people leave the ordinary and usual and step into the extraordinary. Camp with all the adventure and excitement creates this energetic momentum that provides those "life as it should be" moments.
Nature – The beauty and complexity of nature speak to the greatness of God and create those "How Great Thou Art" moments.
All these dynamics and more add up to life change for campers. Friendships, fun, spiritual growth and the energy of camp create a hunger for more of good things life has to offer. See ya this summer!!


Today was an awesome day. Once a quarter we do a "service" day for our Saturday ministry, Club de Amigos. The students had a great idea to do a health day. We had about five stations and at the end we handed out toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, and vitamins along with food and a drink.
The stations consisted of a hair cutting for the boys and men of the community, a girls hair updue/cleaning station, a nail painting station, and myself, Brian, and Janela did a body cleaning station. We started by using baby wipes to clean their arms and faces and then we put lotion on their skin. Janela and I were having a blast talking to the kids and we were happy just to be able to serve them. But then we got the idea to clean their feet also. The kids didn't really know what to think. But after a while they were more open to the idea.
By no means am I Jesus, surprise surprise, but I felt like if Jesus could get down on his hands and knees and wash the disciples feet, I could get on my hands and wash the feet of his beautiful children.
Keep praying that God gives us wisdom to share with the people of El Colli the love of Jesus. I need more boldness and the right words to say (in Spanish) to these amazing people. While others were packing up the van to leave I was walking around trying to distribute vitamins to the adults. One man was sitting on his bike under a tree just watching us. Lord knows my Spanish is not up to par to carry on a long conversations, but when has that stopped me from talking? I went to this man and asked him if he wanted some vitamins. Then we staring talking. I have been praying that God will give me a boldness to share my faith with the nationals. As we talked I told him what we were doing and that we are Christians that believe that God lives in our hearts and he loves us very much. In a community where Catholicism is so strong I want to make sure people know that Christ is no longer dead but alive and living inside me! This man agreed with me and told me God lives in his heart. It is my prayer that he understood what I was saying and that God really does live in his heart. I invited him back and to bring his niece and nephew next week. I pray that he will. Please keep us in your prayers and thank you for your support!

Is there a way to stop the game from announcing the deaths of Headcrumbs Mobs?
This is not headcrumbs causing it. In the past it's been cofh announcing when named mobs die, so i'd recommend starting your search there.
Ah ha! Thanks for the tip, found out how to disable it!
Said this below, but all heads are steve heads because I have not been able to get around to making custom render files for each of the heads yet. and also I am aware of the null head (Not actually a head, it's actually the item block for the statue), I just haven't figured out how to remove it yet, but seeing as how it doesn't really change anything I more of just wanted to get the 1.11.2 build out!
As of this moment I am only maintaining this mod.
It's nice that the 1.11 version is out... but the 1.10 version doesn't quite seem to work.
*All heads appear as Steve heads in the inventory.
*Lycanite Mobs heads don't show up.
- All heads are steve heads because I have not been able to get around to making custom render files for each of the heads yet.
I do have Lycanites installed.
In the 1.7 version there was a config option that sets mobs to have a X% change to drop their head when killed. So if you set it to 0.1, each mob had 0.1% change to drop their respective head when killed.
Ahhh yes, I've had people ask for this and I do plan on adding this.
When will the 1.11.2 update come? Soon?


Rippert filter plants clean the dust-laden air created by grinding, milling, planing, welding and other manufacturing processes in the woodworking, metalworking and plastics industries. Dust and swarf of all kinds are fed through the most diverse filter systems and separated from the air. The filter plants are tailored to suit the customer, depending on the application.
Filter plants are manufactured in various systems depending on the customer-specific requirements. All relevant conditions for your needs are already taken into account during the planning. The basis for the layout is the filter design, e.g. inline filter, round filter, compact filter, special filter, mobile vacuum or positive pressure deduster and the cleaning of the tubes or cartridges. Compressed-air cleaning (jet cleaning) is also used as an alternative to the gentle purge-air cleaning. Naturally our experienced engineers will advise you on this.
The dust particles are reliably filtered in the micro-range in the highly efficient filter plants from Rippert. We place the extraction process as close as possible to the source of the dust generation in order to achieve an optimum result with the filter plant. The air cleaned by the filter plant is well within the limits prescribed by the legal regulations and is fed back into the production process as return air. As a result, Rippert dedusting plants achieve a very high level of efficiency.
Rippert Anlagentechnik can fall back on decades of experience in the planning, production and assembly of modern filter plants and is represented on national and international standardisation committees. We meet the high standards demanded of us through innovative, high-quality and state-of-the-art technology. With tailor-made filter plants we achieve maximum energy efficiency, optimum environmental protection and maximum operating reliability.

Tuberculosis, MTB, or TB (short for tubercle bacillus), in the past also called phthisis, phthisis pulmonalis, or consumption, is a widespread, infectious disease caused by various strains of mycobacteria, usually Mycobacterium tuberculosis.<ref name=Robbins>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=book }}</ref> Tuberculosis typically attacks the lungs, but can also affect other parts of the body. It is spread through the air when people who have an active TB infection cough, sneeze, or otherwise transmit respiratory fluids through the air.<ref name=AP>{{#invoke:Citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=journal }}</ref> Most infections do not have symptoms, known as latent tuberculosis. About one in ten latent infections eventually progresses to active disease which, if left untreated, kills more than 50% of those so infected.
The classic symptoms of active TB infection are a chronic cough with blood-tinged sputum, fever, night sweats, and weight loss (the last of these giving rise to the formerly common term for the disease, "consumption"). Infection of other organs causes a wide range of symptoms. Diagnosis of active TB relies on radiology (commonly chest X-rays), as well as microscopic examination and microbiological culture of body fluids. Diagnosis of latent TB relies on the tuberculin skin test (TST) and/or blood tests. Treatment is difficult and requires administration of multiple antibiotics over a long period of time. Household, workplace and social contacts are also screened and treated if necessary. Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem in multiple drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) infections. Prevention relies on early detection and treatment of cases and on screening programs and vaccination with the bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine.
One-third of the world's population is thought to have been infected with M. tuberculosis,<ref name=WHO2012data>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and new infections occur in about 1% of the population each year.<ref name=WHO2002>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 2007, an estimated 13.7 million chronic cases were active globally,<ref name=WHO2009-Epidemiology>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=book }}</ref> while in 2013, an estimated 9 million new cases occurred.<ref name=WHO2014/> In 2013 there were between 1.3 and 1.5 million associated deaths,<ref name=WHO2014>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name=GBD204>{{#invoke:Citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=journal }}</ref> most of which occurred in developing countries.<ref name=WHO2011>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The total number of tuberculosis cases has been decreasing since 2006, and new cases have decreased since 2002.<ref name=WHO2011/> The rate of tuberculosis in different areas varies across the globe; about 80% of the population in many Asian and African countries tests positive in tuberculin tests, while only 5–10% of the United States population tests positive.<ref name=Robbins/> More people in the developing world contract tuberculosis because of a poor immune system, largely due to high rates of HIV infection and the corresponding development of AIDS.<ref name=Lancet11/>

Densho is supporting a bill submitted by Sen. Daniel Inouye of Hawaii to have the Secretary of the Interior conduct a study of internment camp sites in Hawaii. The idea is to determine whether they are eligible to be listed as historic sites under the National Park System (like Manzanar, etc.).
"During World War II, over 1,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated in at least eight locations on Hawaii," said Senator Inouye. "In a report completed in 2007, the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii documented these sites that include Honouliuli Gulch, Sand Island, and the U.S. Immigration Station on Oahu, the Kilauea Military Camp on the Big Island, Haiku Camp and Wailuku County Jail on Maui, and the Kalaheo Stockade and Waialua County Jail on Kauai. These camps also held approximately 100 local residents of German and Italian ancestry.
Hawaii is suddenly on Densho's agenda. We received funding from the Tateuchi Foundation to conduct a dozen interviews in Honolulu. Our mainlander interview team is going into research overdrive to prepare for a facet of the incarceration that we're less familiar with. The Hawaii interviews fit perfectly with our goal of expanding Densho's collection of video oral histories to tell the full story of the World War II incarceration. Strangely, I'm not hearing any complaints about the team having to set up temporary shop in the Islands.

Q: Most effective way to reflect inheritance relationship in DAOs? Working on a business application using MVC structure and a Business Object / DAO  architecture.  For any normal business object, the CRUD functions are fairly straightforward.  But what's the best way to handle a parent-child relationship like "Customer is a User"?
I know that the following classes are involved:
User, UserDAO, Customer, CustomerDAO

The Customer class can inherit from the User just fine, but how do you best reflect this in the DAO CRUD functions?

A: You can have an instance of UserDAO in CustomerDAO.  You need to interact with both the User and Customer tables to cover the base class and subclass columns.  For example:
public class CustomerDAO
{
    UserDAO userDao;

    // ... initialization ...

    public void update(Customer customer)
    {
        // ... first execute update of customer table ...

        userDao.update(customer);   // Should be able to pass Customer to UserDAO due to inheritance
    }

    public void insert(Customer customer)
    {
        // First insert a row in the User table so that the ID of the user can be determined.
        userDao.insert(customer);

        // ... Now execute insertion of row into Customer table ...
    }

    public void delete(Customer customer)
    {
        // ... first delete Customer row ...

        // Now delete base class User row.
        userDao.delete(customer);
    }
}

Of course, each Customer operation should probably be wrapped in a transaction so that updating the User and Customer tables does not fail independently.

A: Martin Fowler has documented a few Object-Relational Structural Patterns that might help:
1) Single Table Inheritance: Represents an inheritance hierarchy of classes as a single table that has columns for all the fields of the various classes.
e.g. Employee and Customer both inherit from User and are both stored in the User table, with a column that determines what type of user a particular record represents.
2) Class Table Inheritance: Represents an inheritance hierarchy of classes with one table for each class.
e.g. Employee and Customer both inherit from User and there are three tables to represent this.  The User table stores the properties common to all users.  The Employee table has a pointer to the User table and only stores the properties relevant to Employees.  The same is true of the Customer table.
3) Concrete Table Inheritance: Represents an inheritance hierarchy of classes with one table per concrete class in the hierarchy.
e.g. Employee and Customer both inherit from the abstract User class and there are two tables to represent this.  A Customer table and an Employee table.  Each table stores information common to users, but also stores unique properties.

Nets Acquire Royce O'Neale From Jazz
5:34pm: The trade is official, according to press releases from both teams.
2:05pm: The Jazz are trading starting forward Royce O'Neale to the Nets for a first-round pick, Shams Charania of The Athletic tweets.
Brooklyn is using a $11.3MM trade exception it created in the James Harden trade with Philadelphia to take on O'Neale's salary, Bobby Marks of ESPN tweets. The Jazz will create a trade exeption worth O'Neale's outgoing salary.
The pick headed to Utah is a 2023 first-rounder, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN tweets. Brooklyn is sending the lesser of its own, Houston's, or Philadelphia's first-round pick, Wojnarowski adds in another tweet.
The Sixers sent their first rounder for next season to the Nets in the same Harden deal. Houston has the right to swap its pick with Brooklyn's next season, courtesy of the four-way swap in 2021 that landed Harden in Brooklyn.
O'Neale has a $9.2MM salary next season and a $9.5MM salary for 2023/24. However, the last year is guaranteed is only guaranteed for $2.5MM.
O'Neale, noted for his defensive prowess, has been a fixture in Utah's lineup for the last three seasons. He averaged 7.4 PPG, 4.8 RPG and 2.5 APG in 31.2 MPG this past season while appearing in 77 regular season games.
The acquisition of O'Neale will likely diminish the possibility of the Nets re-signing free agent swingman Bruce Brown. On the flip side, Utah's decision to trade one of its starters signals that other moves are on the way. The first-rounder will give it an asset to dangle for another trade.

Marks is a basketball guy to the end. Although here, it might just be him trying to lose himself in his work. Either way, it's a rearrangement of chairs of the deck on the Titanic.

If he can pull Ayton and Bridges from the Suns, and Harris returns, and (OK, I know) Simmons returns to form, that's not a bad team at all.

Rookie scale rule. You can't trade for two players on the max rookie extension rule or something like that.
Simmons is on the rookie max extension and Ayton wants the max rookie extension too. Only way he ends up being involved in this deal is if he signs for less than the max which I can't see happening
Jokes just seen the update on the previous story

Ayton is trying to get max extension, not max rookie. He can be sign and trade to team with max rookie contract.

What if he signs for like a dollar less than the max?

KD to Utah confirmed!

Conley, O'Neale, Bogdonovic and every pick they can give for Durant and a 1st.
Odd timing …
DynamiteAdams • 7 months ago
They couldn't have known right? Otherwise why do this without KD?
Honestly if Brooklyn handles trades right they could end up with a team that won't get swept in the 1st Rd and a bunch of future assets

I agree, it's kinda a fun exercise that could be reasonable pulled off
I made a post a couple days with Irving, Durant, Simmons trades and the end product wasn't that bad with a lotta youth and a ton of extra picks…..Also as ALL their own firsts are gone I made it a competitive team as well for 23-27 getting back ready now players as well as future players

First rounder for him? Interesting.

It'll be a late 1st. Gotta think that sixers pick will land somewhere in the mid to late 20s.

Nets fans, please welcome your KD replacement, Royce O'Neale.

Hold our horses. Wouldn't be surprised if this deal is nixed immediately due to the unforeseen circumstances that followed.
True it is quite the wrinkle –
But fully tanking was never gonna be the route with them not owning their own picks unprotected, and I like the value on O'Niel so perhaps they are separate entities still –
Interesting, okay. Well who knows what the Nets are up to now.
Sixers fans, would you rather have Melton or O'Neale if it only cost a 1st and DGs contract?
It's a toss up honestly. I'll take melton depending what they do going forward (if we land Tucker) but might also hate it all depending what they do going forward in typical Sixers fashion

For Philly, probably O'neal for fit reasons, though I've been the biggest Melton fan since h was drafted by Phoenix
So a 1st rounder and it creates a trade exception for the Jazz? Or are they saying that the Nets were able to absorb the contract because of the exception? Usually a trade exception is sent to the team not receiving a player.

Nets using a previous TPE to take on O'Neale, Jazz creating one for sending him out.
Yeah, just read it again and saw that. Thanks!
That means the Jazz can then use that exception towards another free agent player(s) or trade for player(s) as long as their total salary is equal to or less than the exception. Now, if the Jazz ended up not being a tax payer because of the Ingles trade then they can use up to 125% of the exception. They just can't combine the exception with another one. I think they were a tax paying team, however.
I just looked at a current list of teams' tax bill and the Jazz are currently $11.2M under the tax bill. Royce's salary was for $9.2M.
125% of that is $11.5M.
That means they likely can use up to $11.5M or maybe only $11.2M? in money towards a trade or players. Plus, they gained a 1st round pick. I imagine this opened up the door for more trade options.
As for Royce, I liked him as well. He's a solid player. Always plays hard and takes on a tough assignment every night. He's actually a great shooter. Just needs to be more willing to shoot more. That being said, I hope he does well with the Nets!
Utah losing multiple pieces that fit them…what are they going to do defensively on the wing? That is the most obvious spot they already missed losing Ingles, and now here. They still have Clarkson to move, and they decided not to bring back Paschall as a floor spacing 5
I imagine they bring back Trent Forrest, but what else do they do, and what is really that available for them? There are a few guys in FA, but not that many left. Going to have to be creative/find 1 or 2 contributors in summer league

One would think he's worth more than just a future first-rounder. That many years a starter and that's all they get.
If the Jazz wanted a player then they likely could have brought one back. The point of this trade is to free up a roster spot, gain a 1st, and a trade exception. It's the first step in a series of moves for the Jazz. Just watch The Monty Show on YouTube.
Looking forward to 'the series of moves', long overdue. The new coach, an improved roster, a more resilent team.

Q: Could not find list of providers cosntant for FirebaseAuth in Flutter I am unlinking existing providers in Flutter for FirebaseAuth. I am unable to find the providers constants names like specified in the docs for iOS. However, I cannot find the provider id constants in Flutter. No documentaiton seems to find it. Instead of creating my own constants and keeping them updated, I would like to find the constants from the official packages.
FireBaseAuth Constants: LINK

Currently, I am checking them manually like facebook.com, google.com, apple.com so on.
 TextButton(
                    onPressed: () async {
                      final user = FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser;

                      print(user);

                      if (user != null) {
                        final providersList = user.providerData;

                        final result = providersList.where((provider) =>
                            provider.providerId == 'facebook.com');

                        if (result.isNotEmpty) {
                          final facebookProvider = result.first;

                          user.unlink(facebookProvider.providerId);
                        }
                      }
                    },
                    child: const Text('Unlink Facebook'),
                  ),

A: The constants for those strings are defined here in the code for the plugin. But I don't immediately seem an enumeration or something like that of those constants or their string values.
Given what I see elsewhere in the source code of the package, it seems that using the string is the most common (and that constant probably a better alternative).
