Улица Ахтямова () — улица в Вахитовском и Приволжском районах Казани. Названа в честь революционера Садыка Ахтямова (1877-1926).

География

Пересекается со следующими улицами:

Ранее, до постройки в этом районе пятиэтажных жилых домов пересекалась с улицами Нура Баяна и Исмаила Гаспринского (тогда - Гражданской).

История
До революции 1917 года носила название Поперечно-Екатерининская улица или Поперечная 4-я и относилась к 5-й полицейской части г. Казани. В 1914 году постановлением Казанской городской думы улица была переименована в Бурнаевский переулок, но реально это название не использовалось.

2 ноября 1927 года протоколом комиссии по наименованию улиц при Казгорсовете была переименована в улицу , однако 15 декабря того же года переименование было отменено президиумом Казгорсовета. Современное название присвоено 16 мая 1929 года. (Какое-то время использовалась также форма Ахтямовская улица, зафиксированная на плане города 1939 года.)

В первые годы советской власти административно относилась к 5-й части города; после введения в городе административных районов относилась к Сталинскому (с 1956 года Приволжскому, 1935–1973), Приволжскому и Бауманскому (1973–1994, по участку улицы проходила граница между районами), Вахитовскому и Приволжскому (с 1994–1998, по участку улицы проходит граница между районами) районам.

The Court of Appeal has upheld the Employment Appeal Tribunal's decision in New Testament Church of God v Rev. Sylvester Stewart, which held that a Christian minister was an employee of his church.
Whilst making it clear that he was not laying down a rule of law that all ministers of religion will be employees, Pill LJ analysed the changes in the common law in recent years and held that there was no legal presumption against a minister being an employee.
All three judges considered, however, that the existence of religious dogma which was opposed to the existence of a contract of employment would be an important factor pointing away from the existence of a contract. Indeed, by a majority, the Court considered that to impose a contract upon a church which was doctrinally opposed to it would be a breach of Article 9 of the ECHR (freedom of religion).

Wonders Pty. Ltd. is a privately owned company started by Peter Wonder in October 1995. We began primarily as a plumbing installation business installing gas appliances for the Gas and Fuel Corporation. The Wonder family began a long association with the Gas and Fuel with Peter's grandfather, Bill Wonder, being the first appointed agent for the Gas and Fuel Corporation in 1958. The Preston agency was operated by Bill and his wife Avis as part of their large successful electrical retailing business until 1980 when the Gas and Fuel Corporation decided to open their own corporation store.
Bill's son, John Wonder, (Peter's father), started and ran a very large and successful Gas and Fuel agency in Greensborough in 1975 until his retirement in 2002.
It was in 1997, with the transition of the marketing department of the Gas and Fuel Corporation into Gasmart, that the Preston store was transferred from a corporation operated store back into an agency and offered back to the Wonder family, and in turn to Peter Wonder. Peter operated the store in both its retail and installation capacity until the cessation of the Gas and Fuel Corporation in 2002. The store then became an Origin Energy Shop outlet and Peter continued to manage both the retail and installation business under this name until 2006 when he handed back the business to Origin Energy to pursue a specialised heating and cooling business in his own right.
Peter runs, owns and operates the business, Wonders Pty. Ltd. specializing in Sales, Installation and Servicing of only premier brands of gas appliances, heating and cooling systems.
Wonders Pty. Ltd. offer a specialized service that demands that staff and installers are qualified, reliable, passionate and particular about the way systems and work is performed. All systems are installed by professional installers who are employed by Wonders Pty. Ltd. We do not sub-contract any of our mainstream work. Our installers are happy and enjoy what they do and take pride in their work. Often our customers enjoy the experience of having us for a day in their homes.
We believe that our reputation and integrity is of utmost importance. We will not compromise quality for profit.
We will only supply and install brands which after years of experience we have come to know as being reliable and will achieve the results that you desire. Wonders Pty. Ltd. does not advertise in the mainstream media as we rely on referrals generated by the quality of our work.

A Bitcoin is worth Rs 1.5 million and the founder is Pakistani
21/08/2019 03/09/2019 Ali Naqvi	Bitcoin news, How to buy bitcoin, How to get bitcoins, What is bitcoin
Shrouded in mystery, controversy and the question of legitimacy, Bitcoin is a currency that is gaining popularity among netizens nevertheless. How many of us really know what this digital currency is all about. The worldwide web is taken by storm by the news that UK based Pakistani James Bilal Khalid Caan is the founder of Bitcoin.
Devised in 2008 with a domain registered by the name of 'bitcoin.org', a single Bitcoin is now worth more than 1.5 million rupees. Satoshi Nakamoto was considered to be the founder. Nakamoto is a made up name for someone who authored a link to paper titled Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System. It was successfully posted to the mailing list of Cryptography. This is how Nakamoto was believed to be the man behind the currency. But no one knew the actual identity of the person up till now.
Talking about his true identity on satoshinrh.com he writes "My birth name is Bilal Khalid. I used that name to register the domain name theBCCI.net on the 18th of November 2008. I've since changed my legal forename and surname to James Caan. I updated my name on the domain registration of theBCCI.net since only the owner of the domain can make such a change."
Bilal used to live in Rawalpindi. A student of Al-Khair University, and also studied at internationally reputed institutions like Duke, Yale and California-Irvine. He has given a complete story as to how he became Nakamoto from an ordinary Bilal Khalid.
Is the claim of James Bilal Khalid Caan substantiated? How authentic are the testimonials at 'Satoshi Reveal' website? Could it be the biggest online hoax of all time? If he is really the founder than he must be Satoshi Nakamoto who had coins worth $10 billion.
Cryptocurrency experts are circumspect about the whole event. The authentic way to reveal the truth about Nakamoto's identity would have been to use his own genesis key rather than breaking down the facts in 4 parts.
Initially Bitcoin was being used by black marketers around the world. Though there are severe security issues like hacking and online theft yet people in the past few years bought bitcoin obsessively that raised its value to unimaginable heights. But the pundits of the digital world predict that the future of digital business and marketing may depend on cryptocurrency like Bitcoin.

Over the last few months, I've been working away on a Kentico 9 EMS project. Very exciting indeed! Really pulling out all the stops on trying to make an amazing site in an EMS framework alongside the whole team at Syndicut.
This week, I had to develop a custom built form to grab some user's information. Unfortunately, I was unable to use Kentico's Form Builder due to the requirement where the details had to be submitted to an external API, as well as utilising a custom design.
One of the many benefits you get out-the-box from using the Kentico Form Builder is the ability to log marketing activity to the Contact Management area to store information on the visitors who view and interact with your site. By building a custom form, I was losing losing key data, such as: First Name, Last Name Email Address and Telephone No. - The base key criteria of turning an anonymous visitor to a person with some context.
/// Creates/Updates a contact in Kentico's Contact Management system.
// Update an existing contact or create a new one if no existing contact exists.
My code only shows a handful of fields that I am updating, but the "ContactInfo" class provides access to many more.

Bulgaria is a great option for student holidays. This is because it provides sunny seaside resorts, while being much cheaper than traditional destinations such as the south of France or the Costa del Sol in Spain. Certain areas also have some lovely historical sites that you can visit, such as Nesebar, which is home to several ruins from the Byzantine era, as well as a pretty old town with quaint cobbled streets. A holiday in Bulgaria means both sun worshippers and the more culturally inclined can enjoy a holiday that won't cost a fortune.
You'll find cheap flights from major cities in the UK to Bulgaria with Ryanair, easyJet and WizzAir.
Another great-value student holidays destination is Riga, the capital city of Latvia. Again, this destination will suit the interests of different types of student. Those that like to party hard will appreciate Riga's bar and club scene. Head to the Old Town to find lots of bars and clubs crammed in together. The cheap cost of drinks in Riga means you can have a very good time on a shoestring. If you prefer a quieter holiday, you will enjoy wandering around the same Old Town during the day and admiring the incredible architecture on offer in Riga. Make sure you check out the Town Hall Square and Swedish Gate.
Ryanair operates cheap flights to Riga from numerous UK airports.
If you are more interested in the quality of a city's sites and attractions, rather than its status as a party capital, you will thoroughly enjoy Berlin (although the party scene here is pretty good, too). The city is a testament to its turbulent history and the many influences that have made Berlin what it is today. You will see evidence of the GDR, American occupation and mass immigration from Turkey. It all makes for an edgy and very cool eclectic vibe. Head to the remnants of the Berlin Wall where you can admire some impressive street art, to the DDR Museum to get a sense of what life was like in East Berlin under Soviet rule, and to the Kreuzberg area for a taste of Turkey. Find some interesting places you can visit on a day trip from Berlin.
EasyJet and Ryanair are your best bet for cheap flights to Berlin.
You don't have to look beyond the UK to find purse-friendly student holidays. Heading to Scotland is a great opportunity to get stuck into an adventure holiday without spending a fortune. In Scotland you don't need to pay anything to enjoy the stunning and dramatic scenery, in areas such as Loch Lomond, Cairngorms National Park and Glencoe. You can hire a car, which between a group of friends won't cost too much. Or, better still, you can drive up in one of your own cars and tour your chosen areas at your leisure. You will find plenty of low-cost accommodation at B&Bs and guest houses and will likely be able to pick up some handy local knowledge from your hosts. If you are going to Scotland during the warmer months of the year, you could get closer to nature by camping outdoors. You can spend your time in Scotland taking long walks through the countryside and stopping off at a few pubs along the way. Or, you could engage in some more vigorous pursuits, such as white-water rafting, canyoning, paragliding or zorbing! Find more sports holiday destinations here.
Iceland has become a bit of a thing recently, and rightly so. It offers travellers the chance to visit somewhere very different to their typical holiday destination. We feel it has now become a great choice for student holidays given the increase in budget airlines offering frequent and low-cost flights to Iceland from many cities in the UK. The low cost of flights makes up for the high prices to be found within the capital city of Reykjavik, as do the wealth of amazing attractions that you don't get to see in many other places. These include glaciers, waterfalls, hot springs and geysers. You don't have to admire the hot springs from afar as many of them are just the right temperature for a relaxing dip. Iceland is the perfect destination for winter, when you may be lucky enough to witness the breath-taking aurora borealis.
You will find low-cost flights to Iceland with easyJet.
If you are travelling with a budget airline you may be concerned about adhering to their baggage restrictions, and worried about how much you might have to fork out if your baggage is overweight. You can forget all about this if you send your luggage to your student holiday destination with Send My Bag. This way you can have with you much more luggage than is permitted by most standard airline baggage allowances. Plus, you don't have to worry about lugging your baggage onto public transport; instead it can be waiting for you at your hotel. Find out more about how it all works here.
Why do a PhD? It's a question many graduates ask themselves as they contemplate their future after university. For those graduates who don't want to enter 'the real world' quite yet, it is a chance to stay within a familiar university environment. But for those who have had enough of studying, the thought of dedicating another three of four years of their life to a PhD may seem absurd. To help you decide whether or not you should do a PhD, we have put together some of the benefits of a PhD, as well as the disadvantages.

A 2in1 product that contains fenugreek and ginger doubles as a condition and strengthening hair mask, and is ideal for brittle and damaged hair. Shea butter and linseed have been included to repair and nourish the hair thanks to their high essential fatty acid, protein and vitamin content.
The special ayurvedic ingredients selected for this product are methi, ginger and brahmi, which have fortifying effects on brittle hair and, in synergy with wheat proteins, hydrate the hair for healthy and strong tresses.
Methi (fenugreek) strengthens the hair, counteracts the hair loss and stimulates the hair roots. Adrak (ginger) also supports the fight against the signs of aging (hair loss & grey hair), while brahmi is rich in antioxidants, strengthens the hair shaft and counteracts split ends.
Hair mask: Apply to dry or damp hair and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Rinse the hair and follow with a Rasayana Shampoo suitable for your hair type.
Conditioner: Apply to wet hair after shampooing and ensure that the product is distributed throughout the lengths of the hair. Leave on for a few minutes and rinse well.

A legendary producer of timeless watches, jewellery, writing instruments and fragrances, MontBlanc is contemporary, inspirational and known for exceptional craftsmanship.
Two years after the launch of the classic fragrance MontBlanc Legend comes its fresher and lighter interpretation, MontBlanc Legend Special Edition. A true sensory thrill, this fresh new scent is a lighter version of the original fragrance but doesn't steer too far away from the refined features of the original mens' favourite.
Inspired by the freshness and invigorating sensations found on mountains and glaciers, the bottle and the fragrance trigger an energising sensation on the skin. If ever there was a way to experience crisp mountain air whilst living in the city, this is it.
Filled with sparkling top notes of frosted ginger and aromatic spearmint, the fragrance opens with a sharp freshness and invigorating energy. At the heart, white cedar, rose and fresh jasmine come to the fore before the unforgettable signature notes of sandalwood, tonka beans and evernyl develop.
The frosted blue-black bottle is not only elegant and sophisticated, but it conveys the freshness of the fragrance too. The colours, as well as the frosted look and touch, give the scent a glacial appearance, which is amplified with the first spritz.
Both carnal and crystalline, elegant and relevant, the fragrance gives skin and body a masculine tonic that bursts with freshness and energy.
MontBlanc Legend Limited Edition is available from Edgars, Foschini, Stuttafords, Truworths and Woolworths at R795 for 100ml.

Fantastic gift for a guy…and a great idea for Father's day!
Ooh! What a lovely gift for a boyfriend or husband! Stunning fragrance.
Perhaps I should get this for Fathers day for Hubby. Sounds like I would like it!
That is a really nice bottle.

Anicet scored a historically important goal and Madagascar was not able to defeat Guinea
The Ludogorets midfielder Anicet scored an important goal in the game which his team played against Guinea.
The Ludogorets midfielder Anicet scored an important goal in the game which his team played against Guinea. The game ended with a 2:2 score and was part of the B group of the African Nations Cup. This was a debut game for the island country in the tournament which takes place in Egypt. Guinea was considered to be the better team and they scored the first goal in the 34th minute. Anicet made the score even in the 49th minute using his head. Madagascar even turned the score in their favor after they scored another goal six minutes later. Guinea made the score even in the 66th minute when Camano scored from the penalty point. Madagascar now shares the second place overall with Guinea. The team of Nigeria is in the lead, and Burundi takes the third spot.
Jorginho will play as part of Guinea-Bissau against Cameroon on Tuesday. They are in the same group as Ghana and Benin.


2002-06-16 04:00:00 PDT North Grafton, Mass. -- Veterinary medicine used to be a man's world. The veterinarian yanked calves from their mothers' wombs, wrestled with horses to give them shots and dressed the wounds of dogs, cats and the occasional canary.
Now most students at veterinary schools are women, and by 2005, women will become the majority in the profession, the American Veterinary Medical Association says.
Of the 77 new doctors of veterinary medicine from Tufts University, 62 are women. At the University of Wisconsin at Madison, 75 percent of this year's veterinary graduates are women, as are 81 percent of those at UC Davis.
This trend will continue because nearly three-quarters of the nation's 9, 276 veterinarian students are women. Since the late 1990s more than 70 percent of applicants to veterinary schools have been women. By contrast, in the late 1960s, about 5 percent of veterinary students were women.
Many veterinary students and veterinarians say the change has occurred because veterinary salaries are simply not competitive with those of other medical professions.
As recently as the 1970s, the income of veterinarians was right behind that of physicians. But veterinarians now average between $70,000 and $80,000 a year, veterinary groups report, while physicians can easily earn $150,000 a year.
One thing that attracts women to veterinary medicine is flexibility in scheduling. Part-time physicians are rare, but part-time veterinarians are not.
"Some women practice veterinary medicine part time while raising a family," said Wendy Emerson, the owner of Putnam Veterinary Clinic in Topsfield, Mass. She added: "Women in general choose careers different from men. Women choose a career they feel passionate about. Men love animals, but they feel the obligation to support a family."

Boris Diaw
And-Ones: Ball Brothers, Creek, Diaw, P. Jackson
April 27th, 2020 at 1:30pm CST by Luke Adams
The Ball brothers – Lonzo Ball, LaMelo Ball, and LiAngelo Ball – intend to sign with Roc Nation Sports for representation, LaMelo's manager Jermaine Jackson tells Jonathan Givony of ESPN.
Lonzo had previously been represented by CAA, but parted ways with the agency earlier this year. Now, he appears set to make the move to Roc Nation along with his two younger brothers, including LaMelo, who is one of the top prospects in the 2020 draft.
"This was a family decision," Jackson told ESPN. "… We talked to several agents, but the family had good vibes with Roc Nation. I've known Jay-Z since I played for the Knicks, but this is what the kids wanted to do. Jay-Z is a master at what he does. He's global. It's power beyond power."
While Jay-Z launched Roc Nation Sports in 2013, he obviously won't be the one handling basketball matters for the Ball brothers. Veteran agent Raymond Brothers will be the Balls' lead agent at Roc Nation, according to Givony.
Here are more odds and ends from across the NBA:
Australian forward Mitch Creek, who spent this past season in Australia after appearing in five games for the Nets and Timberwolves in 2018/19, was in "advanced talks" with a Western Conference team this winter, says Shayne Hope of The Australian Associated Press. However, as Hope explains, a knee injury and the coronavirus pandemic ultimately derailed Creek's plans to return stateside.
Former NBA forward Boris Diaw has stepped down from his position as president of French team Metropolitans 92, the club announced in a press release (French link; hat tip to Sportando). The team suggested in its announcement that difficulties arose this season in the way the club operated and Diaw's relationship to certain members of the executive board.
Following episodes three and four of The Last Dance on Sunday, ESPN's Ramona Shelburne explores how former Bulls head coach Phil Jackson continues to have an impact on today's NBA head coaches, despite the fact that Jackson hasn't coached in the NBA since 2011.

And-Ones: Early Entrants, Ball, Pierce, Diaw
After releasing a 233-player list of early entrants for the 2019 NBA draft on Tuesday, the league followed up today by adding a few more names to that list. According to an announcement from the league, "timely letters" were received from three more prospects who declared for the draft. Those players are as follows:
Kevin Cham, G, France (born 1998)
Anthony Lamb, F, Vermont (junior)
Xavier Sneed, F, Kansas State (junior)
Leading up to the early entry deadline, there were reports that Cham, Lamb, and Sneed all intended to enter the draft, so it was a little surprising not to see them on the NBA's official list this week. They're on there now though, and the additions of those three names mean that this year's early entrant total is up to 236 players, matching a record set in 2018.
As we noted on Tuesday, there were still several players who reportedly intended to declare for the draft as early entrants and aren't on the NBA's list, so they either had second thoughts or missed the deadline. The next deadline will arrive on May 29, when NCAA prospects will have to either withdraw from this year's draft pool or officially forfeit their remaining college eligibility.
Here's more from around the basketball world:
Alan Foster, a former associate of Lonzo Ball and the Ball family, is under FBI investigation, according to a report from Tania Ganguli and Richard Winton of The Los Angeles Times. The Bureau is looking into whether Foster defrauded the Ball family out of millions of dollars, according to Ganguli and Winton, who say the investigation has been going on for more than two months. Foster was already facing a lawsuit accusing him of embezzling over $2MM from Big Baller Brand for his personal use.
Hawks head coach Lloyd Pierce has taken the place of Pacers head coach Nate McMillan as an assistant on Team USA's coaching staff for 2019/20, according to a press release. McMillan withdrew due to scheduling conflicts, opening the door for Pierce to claim a spot on Gregg Popovich's staff for the 2019 World Cup and the 2020 Olympics.
Longtime NBA forward Boris Diaw is reportedly poised to take over as the president of French team Levallois Metropolitans. The news was reported by Le Parisien, and relayed by Sportando and Eurohoops. Assuming it becomes official, Diaw will become the second notable NBA player to assume the role of team president for a French club, joining former teammate Tony Parker, who runs ASVEL Villeurbanne.

And-Ones: Jefferson, Diaw, Magic, Blazers, Rockets
October 16th, 2018 at 3:15pm CST by Luke Adams
As expected, after announcing his retirement as a player over the weekend, Richard Jefferson has quickly secured a new job. The longtime NBA forward has officially joined the YES Network and will work as a Nets game and studio analyst this season, according to a press release.
Speaking of post-retirement jobs, Boris Diaw – who called it a career last month – has joined France's national team as the program's deputy general manager, as Emiliano Carchia of Sportando relays.
Here are a few more odds and ends from around the NBA:
A pair of longtime NBA owners – Richard DeVos of the Magic and Paul Allen of the Trail Blazers – have passed way in the last month and a half. Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders explores what that means for the future of those two franchises.
Bobby Marks of ESPN.com passes along some interesting data on the NBA's opening-night rosters, tweeting that the Nuggets, Knicks, and Trail Blazers have the youngest rosters, while the Rockets, Heat, and Mavericks are on the other end of the spectrum. Meanwhile, the NBA announces that the opening-night rosters feature a total of 108 international players from 42 different countries and territories.
The Rockets have agreed to a partnership with a new jersey sponsor, announcing today that the ROKiT Phones logo will appear in the top-left corner of their uniforms during the 2018/19 season. Twenty-seven NBA teams now have ad patches on their jerseys — Indiana, Oklahoma City, and Washington are the lone holdouts.
Boris Diaw Announces Retirement
September 6th, 2018 at 1:20pm CST by Arthur Hill
Boris Diaw, who played 14 seasons in the NBA, has officially retired from basketball, according to a tweet from Sportando. The versatile big man played for five teams, but is best known for his time in San Antonio, where he won a championship in 2014.
A French native, the 36-year-old spent last season with Paris-Levallois. He built a strong international reputation in France before coming to the NBA, winning the FIBA Europe Under-18 Championship in 2000. He was named captain of the French national team in 2006 and led his nation to the gold medal at the 2013 EuroBasket tournament.
Diaw was drafted by the Hawks with the 21st pick in 2003. He spent two years in Atlanta before being traded to the Suns, and later played for the Bobcats and Spurs before finishing his NBA career with the Jazz in 2017. Several playoff teams reportedly had interest in signing him late last season, but nothing ever materialized.
Over the course of his NBA career, Diaw averaged 8.6 PPG, 4.4 RPG, and 3.5 APG in 1,064 contests (27.0 MPG). According to Basketball-Reference, the 2006 NBA Most Improved Player earned more than $80MM during his 14 seasons in the NBA.

And-Ones: Players/Officials, Diaw, Modern Approach
Several current NBA players and referees will meet privately Saturday during All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles to discuss player-referee relations, according to a release posted on the Players' Association's website. Tensions between players and officials have been a hot topic this year and the aim of the meeting is to improve communication and transparency. Among the topics that will be discussed is on-court communication and demeanor; perception in media, optics, and reality of issues between players and officials; respect for game rules and their consistent enforcement; tactics for de-escalation of tension from each side; and equality of treatment for all players and officials.
In other news around the league and overseas:
Veteran big man Boris Diaw is expected to remain with his French team until the end of its season, Sportando relays via Le Parisien. Diaw has drawn interest from NBA teams and has an opt-out clause he could exercise by March 1 but he'll stay with Paris-Levallois. He played 73 games for the Jazz last season.
Changes to the All-Star format and the league embracing pro sports betting are ways that the NBA is trying to remain relevant, Howard Bryant of ESPN argues. Oversaturation will eventually override nostalgia, tradition and enormous television rights fees, which has propped up major sports over the years, Bryant continues. That's why the leagues are desperately trying to reinvent themselves, Bryant adds.
National Basketball Referees Association
Bogut, Diaw Drawing Interest From Playoff Teams
February 8th, 2018 at 5:30pm CST by marksuleymanov
With the trade deadline gone, now is the time when teams scour the market for veteran help to aid a playoff run. Two players who are currently receiving interest from contending teams are Andrew Bogut and Boris Diaw.
According to ESPN's Tim MacMahon (via Twitter), Diaw, who is currently with the French team Paris-Levallois, has "touched base" with several playoff teams. The 35-year-old is a 14-year NBA veteran with 119 games of postseason experience, including the 2013/14 championship Spurs team. MacMahon notes that teams like Diaw's locker room presence and unselfish role play.
Diaw last appeared in the NBA with the Jazz last season, averaging 4.6 PPG in 73 games.
As for Bogut, he has yet to latch on with a team since the Lakers released him in early January. Bogut's agent, David Bauman, tells Gery Woelfel of the Racine Journal Times (via Twitter) that the Australian big man is considering four playoff-bound teams and that,"the good news is Andrew will be in the playoffs." Bogut is expected to sign next week, Bauman tells Woelfel.
Bogut played sparingly for the Lakers, appearing in just 24 games while averaging 1.5 PPG. However, the 33-year-old brings his own postseason pedigree as he was part of the Warriors' 2014/15 championship team. The 13-year veteran has been consistently regarded as a steady veteran presence and defensive asset.
Andrew Bogut
And-Ones: Diaw, Silver, Contract Years, Doncic
Having signed to play for a team in France, Boris Diaw explains in a YouTube video (French, with English subtitles) why he made the decision to join Levallois Metropolitans for the 2017/18 season after 14 years in the NBA.
"This decision wasn't about the money," Diaw said. "It was about joining a club that could benefit from my presence, where I could help guide and teach the younger players. It was about bringing them my experience, my advice. It was also about staying fit. It provided me with an opportunity to play at a high level and stay physically fit while waiting for a potential offer from an NBA team that might need me during the season."
As we wait to see if Diaw makes his way back to the NBA at some point in 2017/18, let's round up a few more odds and ends from around the basketball world…
While commissioner Adam Silver hoped NBA owners could reach on gentlemen's agreement on policing the rest of healthy players, team owners – led by Robert Sarver of the Suns – encouraged Silver to institute concrete rules and potential punishments in order to curb the issue, writes ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Wojnarowski's piece examines Silver's role in addressing the DNP-Rest problem, and looks at the commissioner's push for lottery reform.
In a piece for HoopsHype, Bryan Kalbrosky identifies a number of players who may end up exceeding expectations in contract years. Of course, many of the players on Kalbrosky's list – including Gary Harris, Rodney Hood, and Jusuf Nurkic – are eligible for extensions until opening night, so 2017/18 may not end up being a contract year for some of them.
Sasa Doncic, the father of young Real Madrid star Luka Doncic, called his son a unique talent who "plays in a magical way," but acknowledged that he'd like to see him improve his shot a little (link via AS.com; translation via Emiliano Carchia of Sportando). Doncic is expected to be one of the first players to come off the board in the 2018 draft.
Boris Diaw Set To Play In France
September 17th, 2017 at 8:14am CST by Luke Adams
SEPTEMBER 17, 8:14am: Diaw's signing is official, the French club announced in a tweet.
SEPTEMBER 14, 1:47pm: Veteran NBA forward Boris Diaw will head back to France to start the 2017/18 season, according to David Cozette of SFR Sport (Twitter link), who reports that Diaw has agreed to sign with Levallois Metropolitans. The deal will feature an NBA out clause, per Sportando (Twitter link).
Diaw, 35, has spent the last 14 seasons in the NBA, beginning his career with the Hawks before moving on to the Suns, Bobcats, Spurs, and Jazz. Diaw started 33 games and appeared in 73 overall regular season contests for Utah last season, but saw his production dip — his PPG (4.6), FG% (.446), and 3PT% (.247) marks were all among the worst of his career. He had a $7.5MM salary for 2017/18 that would have become guaranteed if the Jazz had not waived him in July.
While Diaw has played in the NBA for nearly a decade and a half, he's no stranger to French competition either. Before being drafted 21st overall in 2003, Diaw spent multiple seasons with Pau-Orthez in France, and he returned to his home country during the 2011 lockout to play for JSA Bordeaux. The veteran forward has also represented France in several international tournaments.
Levallois Metropolitans, Diaw's new team, was formerly known as Paris-Levallois Basket. The club was led last season by former Florida State standout Jason Rich and Knicks draft-and-stash big man Louis Labeyrie, but both players have found new homes for the 2017/18 campaign, so the team figures to lean heavily on Diaw.
Boris Diaw Uncertain About NBA Future
August 23rd, 2017 at 1:51pm CST by Luke Adams
Having been waived by the Jazz earlier this summer, forward Boris Diaw remains an unrestricted free agent and his future as a player remains up in the air. Diaw recently told Le Figaro that he's not 100% sure that he'll find an NBA home for the 2017/18 season, suggesting that a return to Europe is a possibility (translation via Emiliano Carchia of Sportando).
According to Diaw, he has been in touch with a few NBA teams, but nothing concrete came out of those conversations. The French forward added that there are several factors he has to take into account as he considers his next move, and he's not yet closing any doors.
Diaw, 35, has spent the last 14 seasons in the NBA, beginning his career with the Hawks before moving on to the Suns, Bobcats, Spurs, and Jazz. Diaw started 33 games and appeared in 73 overall regular season contests for Utah last season, but saw his production dip — his PPG (4.6), FG% (.446), and 3PT% (.247) marks were all among the worst of his career. He had a $7.5MM salary for 2017/18 that would have become guaranteed if the Jazz had not waived him last month.
While Diaw has played in the NBA for the last 14 years, he also has some international experience, so playing in Europe wouldn't be new to him. Before being drafted 21st overall in 2003, Diaw spent multiple seasons with Pau-Orthez in France, and he returned to his home country during the 2011 lockout to play for JSA Bordeaux. The veteran forward has also represented France in several international competitions.
The Raptors reportedly inquired on Diaw last month just before he was waived by the Jazz, but no NBA teams have been linked to him within the last few weeks.
Five Notable Forwards Still Available In Free Agency
August 1st, 2017 at 9:02am CST by Luke Adams
While most of the biggest names still available on the free agent market are restricted free agents, there are several noteworthy unrestricted players who are free to sign outright with any NBA team. Over the last several days, we've identified a number of those players, examining five notable guards, wings, and big men who remain unsigned.
Today, we'll close out our look at those notable remaining free agents by focusing on a handful of forwards who could appeal to NBA clubs. Some of these players could be considered wings or bigs, but we've split them off into their own category — these are frontcourt players who probably shouldn't be relied on as the man in the middle of any lineup that's not unusually small.
The Raptors, Hawks, Timberwolves, Pelicans, Spurs, and Hornets are among the teams that could potentially use a little more frontcourt depth, though those aren't the only clubs who may be suitors for the players listed below.
Here are five notable free agent forwards to keep an eye on:
Dante Cunningham — An eight-year veteran, Cunningham has been a solid rotation player for most of his career, but recently added a new wrinkle to his game. After making just two three-pointers in his first six seasons, Cunningham has made 126 over the last two years, shooting an impressive 39.2% from long range in 2016/17. The apparent lack of interest in the 30-year-old so far suggests teams may be a little skeptical of his newfound range, but if he can keep it up, he'd make for an intriguing stretch four. The Knicks were linked to Cunningham in May and the Jazz were said to have interest last month, though it's not clear if either team is still in on him.
Michael Beasley — While he never lived up to his pre-draft billing, Beasley – a former second overall pick – continued to provide value as a scorer off the bench in Milwaukee last season. In 56 games for the Bucks, the veteran forward averaged 9.4 PPG with a career-best .532 FG% and .419 3PT%. The lack of recent updates on our player page on Beasley suggests that he hasn't been the subject of any substantial rumors this summer, which is a little surprising. I can think of several teams that could use a player like him in their second unit.
Luke Babbitt — Babbitt started 55 games for the Heat last season, but only averaged 15.7 minutes per contest, so his role was limited. Still, few players around the NBA have been more reliable three-point shooters in recent years. Babbitt has made an impressive 43.8% of his long-distance attempts since the start of the 2014/15 season. Miami was reportedly monitoring the former first-round pick earlier in the free agent period, but with Kelly Olynyk now in the mix for the Heat, a reunion may not be cards — Babbitt is said to be weighing other options.
Boris Diaw — A longtime contributor in San Antonio, Diaw joined the Jazz last season and saw his production dip — his PPG (4.6), FG% (.446), and 3PT% (.247) marks were all among the worst of his career. Diaw is 35, so we shouldn't necessarily count on him to bounce back strong in 2017/18, but if he still has something left in the tank, he's worth a minimum salary investment. Diaw's ability to distribute the ball is somewhat rare for a forward, and he can fit into a wide range of lineups. The Raptors may be one possibility for him.
Mike Dunleavy Jr. — Like Babbitt, Dunleavy could provide immediate help for a team in need of some outside shooting, but like Diaw, his age is a concern; he'll turn 37 in September. Nonetheless, Dunleavy continued to make threes at a consistent rate in 2016/17, converting 39.6% of his outside attempts despite averaging a career-low 15.9 minutes per game. The Timberwolves were identified as a possible suitor for Dunleavy earlier in the offseason, and even though that report is over a month old, Minnesota still makes sense as a landing spot. Tom Thibodeau's club could use another shooter or two, and Thibodeau coached Dunleavy in Chicago.
Note: Restricted free agents aren't noted here, since they're not free to sign with any team, but Nikola Mirotic and JaMychal Green are among the noteworthy RFA forwards still on the market.

Don't let the party be boring because the music is pushed to background noise. Make music the star of your gathering, event or your daily outings with an Insignia speaker. Music makes life more energetic.
What a fun bluetooth speaker set. I love the colors and know my teens would too.
I really like this Bluetooth speaker because it can be attached to something secure (so your child wont lose it). The colors are really cute!
Our speaker broke on our latest camping trip. these look like a great option.
Oh these speakers are so awesome. Being that they are so small is easy to take them anywhere. Love it thanks for sharing!
These are so cool and I love how portable they are! Great for long car rides, outdoor activities, etc. They're very reasonably priced as well!
We are always looking for good speakers! I love that this one can hang-perfect for the beach so that it doesn't get in the sand!
I love to keep one of those speakers around as a go-to gift. I've given them to lots of people and they're always a huge hit.


We take our social responsibility seriously and feel it is only right that organisations do what they can to share their knowledge. Each year we invest our time and expertise in direct support of selected charitable projects throughout the UK and beyond.
You can read more about our project work below. If you would like to get involved in our work or find out more about a specific project please contact us.
In late 2016, Solarsense visited one of Bristol Zoological Society's in-country wildlife conservation projects on the island of Madagascar - the project aims to protect three types of endangered lemur species, one of which is amongst the world's rarest and most endangered primates.
At the heart of the project is a research & conservation station in the Ankarafa Forest that serves as a base for field work and Solarsense made the long trip in order to provide a solar PV system to power the equipment and provide lighting for the team based there.
On top of this Solarsense also installed a variety of small solar systems for a number of tourist camps and throughout the local village to provide electricity for the Madagascan community.
For more information on the Bristol Zoo project, please click here.
As part of our continued commitment to sharing our knowledge, Solarsense have become fundraising and Technical Partners of the Nepal Trust (Reg. charity SC022552, www.nepaltrust.org).
We will be working with the Nepal Trust's local representatives to design a training syllabus for the local people who will become the renewable energy engineers of the future.
Many hundreds of small renewable energy systems have been installed across the wider region but the local expertise needed to repair and maintain them is missing. The RESC is an innovative project that will address this problem and provide a greater degree of resilience to the local community. The centre will stock essential items such as batteries, wires, fuses and controllers so that a 3-day trip to Kathmandu is no longer required to replace a £3 fuse, while the training programme will provide employment for local people who will be trained to repair and maintain systems installed by other organisations.

The Rainbow Centre is a charity that provides free therapeutic support to children and their families affected by bereavement, life threatening illness and cancer.
Solarsense installed a free 2kWp solar PV system on the roof of the centre at Lilymead Avenue. The solar array not only reduces the charity's electricity bills by about a third but also generates a modest income via the Government's Feed in Tariff scheme.
"Our Solarsense panels have performed brilliantly ever since they were installed, we haven't encountered any faults or problems. They have saved us hundreds of pounds every year on our electricity bills, which is incredibly important for a small charity like the Rainbow Centre. We're not just helping local children and families affected by life threatening illness and bereavement – now we're helping the planet too." Deborah Hill, Fundraising & Finance Director.
We would like to thank Alan Manchip Electrical and ASM Scaffolding, two of our most trusted contractors, for supporting the project at the Rainbow Centre free of charge.
The Centre For Contemporary Art And The Natural World – a pioneering Arts & Ecology charity which explores urgent environmental issues through the Arts. Solarsense have supported the construction of a bespoke 24ft geodesic education and community dome in Haldon Forest Park, near Exeter.
The Converging World - a charity against social inequality which creates mechanisms to link communities in the developed and developing world. Solarsense donated a solar cooker for their trip to Tirunelveli, India, earlier this year, where they tested different cookers with the rural community.
Brake The Cycle - a new social enterprise "inspiring sustainable living through carbon-free adventure". Solarsense donated a super solar charging kit for their Camden to Cape Town cycling fundraiser.
Project Gravity X - Solarsense are proud to sponsor this exciting four wheel bike build project which aims to help spread the all-inclusive sport of 4-wheeled mountain biking by making it more accessible for able bodied and disabled people alike.
In February 2011 two of the Solarsense team travelled to Ethiopia where they installed a solar powered medical vaccination fridge at the Beso rural Medical Centre in the Addis Alem region. This replaced an inefficient and expensive kerosene fridge and enabled the vaccines to be safely stored for approximately 3000 people who rely on this health clinic. The fridges are used to store six vaccines that protect against diseases including Tuberculosis, Polio, Tetanus and Diphtheria - all of which are potentially fatal but easily preventable by immunization at a young age.
After the installation, the Solarsense team trained the Beso staff in how to manage their solar system, in particular how to keep the battery healthy, which is crucial for off grid solar systems.
This project was undertaken in partnership with Bristol-based charity For Ethiopia, whose Patron is Dr. Alice Roberts (BBC Natural History). They have a Virgin Money Giving page here. The fridge was supplied by Dulas Ltd and imported with the assistance of the Oromia Regional Health Bureau. It was transferred to the site by the FDEA (For Development Ethiopia Association).
We are continuing our links with the Beso Rural Medical Centre and have since returned to install three additional fridges.
In February 2005 Solarsense installed a PV lighting system for Glenburnie Butega School in Uganda.
In 2006 we then returned to install a solar powered water pump and rainwater storage system to supply water the school with both drinking water and water for the children to grow their own food. We also supplied solar power to the local Medical Centre.
In February 2009 Solarsense installed a solar PV system on a new nursery building - financed by generous donations from our valued customers.
In March 2008 Solarsense installed remote clinic lighting for ten villages in the South of the country.
In March 2010, a Solarsense team visited the Bishop Bexell Orphanage in Tamil Nadu, India, to install a solar PV system and provide lighting in the study and dormitories.


Reliance Jio is the present trending telecom service that is giving a shock to all the other networks in India. It offered unbelievable offers with low price tag for its subscribers. Reliance has announced the preview offer for free calls, free SMS and also 90 days unlimited 4G Data to its clients. Now, few of the Reliance Jio clients were complaining that Reliance Jio Outgoing / Incoming Calls are restricting to 30 minutes. Also, most of the clients are having many complaints regarding the Call drops, internet speed, and many other issues. However, clients are managed to bring the internet speed up using some tricks, though there no possible step to implement for the enhancement of free calls. With this, the users are facing great inconvenience from this Mobile Networking Service.
Recently the BGR has reported that many of the clients have complained about the Reliance Jio Free Calling. That is, the Reliance Jio Outgoing / Incoming Calls were restricted to 30 minutes. Also, the problem of Call drops is more in Reliance Jio compared to the other networks.
The Internet speed errors in Reliance Jio Welcome Offer occur most often to clients. One of the user of Reliance Jio has reported that the 4GB Internet speed has suddenly collapsed to 128KBPS. Likewise, many of the Internet speed regarding complaints were also claiming on Reliance Jio.
And the other blog, Maktechblog has reported that, the blog puts a test by making a call from Reliance Jio to Idea mobile and the other way around and saw that the call was cut soon after the length of 30 Minutes. They as well shared a screenshot to give some more illuminations. Most of the clients also guaranteed that their approaching or active voice calls are being cut at the precisely 30-minute time limit.
Reliance Jio didn't say anything about the 30 Minute call cut issue. However, Reliance Jio has not mentioned anything regarding this limiting of calls to 30 min. So, proper step should be taken by the Jio to resolve this issue.

Q: Path integral on matrix model I was looking at a 0-dimensional matrix model, where the variables are $N\cdot N$ Hermitean matrices. It had a gauge symmetry, e.g. $U(N)$. And in the path integral, the Faddeev-Popov trick was used. So instead of integrating over the set of matrices, one was reduced to integrating over the $N$ (real) eigenvalues. Or, I tried counting the number of degrees of freedom and I was puzzled:

*

*$N$ by $N$ Hermitean matrices have $N^2$ real independent variables ($N(N-1)$ values for the triangular part (not counting the diagonal ones), plus $N$ real variables for the diagonal ones, giving us a total of $N^2$

*$U(N)$ has real dimension $N^2$, classic result from group theory

*At the end, I arrive at $N^2 - N^2 = 0$ variables instead of $N$ real eigenvalues.
I tried seeing it from another point but I can't derive what I'd like to. What I am thinking/doing wrong?

A: Your $N^2-N^2$ calculation is naive, well, it is incorrect because not all $N^2$ generators of  $U(N)$ are changing the Hermitian matrix $M$. If a generic Hermitian matrix $M$ is transformed to
$$ M\to U M U^{-1} ,\quad U U^\dagger = 1,$$
then $N$ directions in $U$ i.e. in $U(N)$ don't change $M$ at all. This is easily seen in the basis in which $M$ is diagonal: the matrices
$$ U = {\rm diag} (e^{i\alpha_1},\dots , e^{i\alpha_N})$$
don't change $M$ at all. So the right difference is $N^2 - (N^2-N) = N$.

A: In this answer we will basically expand on Lubos Motl's correct answer using some other words and introducing some terminology.
In the Hermitian one-matrix model, the action
$$\begin{align}S~=~& {\rm Tr} L(H), \cr L(H)~=~&\sum_{n\in\mathbb{N}_0}c_n H^n,\cr c_n~\in~&\mathbb{R},\end{align}\tag{1}$$
is invariant under adjoint conjugation
$$ H\to UHU^{-1}\tag{2}$$
with unitary matrices $U$. Eq.(2) here plays the role of the gauge transformations. One therefore has $N^2$ real gauge parameters.
At the infinitesimal level $U=e^A$, the gauge transformation is
$$ \delta H ~=~[A, H],\tag{3}$$
where $A$ is an infinitesimal anti-Hermitian matrix.
On the other hand, the $N$ real eigenvalues $\lambda_1$, $\ldots$, $\lambda_N$ of an Hermitian matrix are gauge invariants, which cannot be changes by gauge transformations of adjoint type (2). Hence there are actually only $N(N−1)$ independent gauge parameters. Such a gauge algebra is called reducible.
For a diagonal Hermitian matrix $H$, the $N$ redundant gauge parameters may be identified with the diagonal matrix entries $A^1{}_1$ , $A^2{}_2$, $\ldots$, $A^N{}_N$, at the infinitesimal level.
The Faddeev-Popov trick (in its original formulation) applies to irreducible gauge symmetries, but one can make it work in this reducible case (i.e. the Hermitian one-matrix model) by properly identifying the independent gauge parameters, cf. above.
The Faddeev-Popov determinant becomes the square of the Vandermonde determinant of the eigenvalues $\lambda_1$, $\ldots$, $\lambda_N$.
Finally, it seems natural to mention that the presence of this Vandermonde determinant is a typical feature of (random) matrix models, and it leads to eigenvalue repulsion, cf. e.g. this Phys.SE post.

Adjusted bracing heights as well as a locked15 foot radius for the arch of the back, gave us the plate resonance separation we were looking for between top and back.
We now have the full, open, lower frequency response we were looking for as well as a crisp, well defined treble response.
The new 808 series sounds a whole lot bigger than a small bodied guitar should. We were hoping the end of this journey would produce a guitar that amazes the player at first strum, then continues to impress as each aspect of the sound of the guitar meets and surpasses the player's expectation.

The Surprising History of Christmas Traditions
Wassail, one of the oldest holiday drinks, is named after the Anglo-Saxon phrase "waes hael" or "good health." Wassail was originally made with mulled ale, curdled cream, roasted apples, eggs, cloves, ginger, nutmeg and sugar
New Brunswick, N.J. (Dec. 19, 2019) – Did you know yuletide caroling began 1,000 years before Christmas existed? Or how about the fact that mistletoe was used to represent immortality long before the holiday reached Europe? And before there was eggnog, the medieval English drank wassail made from mulled ale.
Maria Kennedy, an instructor of folklore at Rutgers University–New Brunswick's Department of American Studies in the School of Arts and Sciences, has researched the European holiday traditions that predate – and became an inseparable part of – Christmas.
She shared her insights with Rutgers Today.
What is the origin of Christmas caroling?
The act of going from house to house during the darkest time of the year to spread hope through song has its origins throughout Europe and takes many forms including the British tradition of Wassail and Mumming, and the Slavic tradition of Koliada, which began before 998 B.C. In many traditions, people would go door to door and ask for permission to perform. They would recite poetry, sing and sometimes perform a skit. The idea was that these acts would bring about good fortune to influence a future harvest. Many of these visiting rituals were incorporated in the celebration of Christmas and are still performed in modern Ukraine as well as throughout Europe and across the United States.
Why do we associate Christmas with eggnog?
Holiday beverages like eggnog, mulled wine and hot cider often include cinnamon, cloves and/or other spices. In medieval England, these spices were of high value and would have been traded for other goods. They were a sign of wealth, so bringing them out for celebration was equivalent to bringing out the best wine for guests. Drinks with eggs and cream may seem strange to palates today, but these were also common in Medieval England.
The ancestor of these drinks is wassail, named after the Anglo-Saxon phrase "waes hael" or "good health." Wassail was originally made with mulled ale, curdled cream, roasted apples, eggs, cloves, ginger, nutmeg and sugar. It was served in huge bowls made of wood, pewter, porcelain, and silver. The act of wassailing would begin on the 12th day of Christmas – Jan. 5 or Jan. 6 – and included bonfires in the orchards, shooting guns to scare away bad spirits, caroling and pouring hot cider into the roots of trees for a good harvest the following year.
Where did mistletoe and evergreen trees become part of the holiday?
Mistletoe, an evergreen shrub, was used in celebrations dating back to the ancient Druids – Celtic religious leaders – some 2,000 years ago. Mistletoe represented immortality because it continued to grow in the darkest time of the year and bore white berries when everything else had died. Hanging its sprigs over doorways and windows was supposed to keep the evil spirits of disease from entering a house. Farmers found it easiest to remove parasitic mistletoe from apple trees in winter when the branches were barren.
The decorating of evergreen trees is a German custom that began in the 16th century and was popularized in England and America during the reign of Queen Victoria after she married Prince Albert in 1840. Albert would decorate the trees at Windsor Castle with wax candles and sweets. By the 1860s, hundreds of Christmas trees were sold in Covent Garden and eventually the trend made its way into American tradition. Originally, trees would be decorated with oranges stuck with cloves, cinnamon sticks and pine cones. Sometimes, the nut would be removed from a walnut shell and replaced by a small gift or candy before being hung on a tree.

12 Summers Old is the band name. Fitting, because the members sound like they are twelve years old, making music for twelve year olds. I'm not twelve years old. So, to review this seems a bit hard, because now I have to go back to the times when I was twelve years old, and it isn't exactly a time I wish to relive.
This Could Get Dangerous is a rehash through a pop-punk movement I thought died five or so years ago. The winning opening lyrics, "I'm being honest/ Your lipstick ain't doing much for me these days/ So wipe it off/ I need a new set of lips to take your place," really sets the stage for the intellectual rigors your ear drums are about to go through. 12 Summers Old play the safe brand of pop-punk. It isn't even the kind that myself, as someone who used to listen to pop-punk, who repeatedly crowd-surfed and pogo-jumped like a giddy school child to New Found Glory, can get behind. Between the chord progressions, the slow and quiet fills, the slight backing vocals, and every other painful cliché of pop-punk, This Could Get Dangerous is a perfect exercise in the reasons why pop-punk is no longer the legitimate kind of music it once was.
Everything this band does is a showcase in mediocrity. Mediocre guitars, drums, harmonies, lyrics, lyrical themes, promo photos… it's all been done before — into the ground.
The twelfth year of my life wasn't very dangerous. I think I may have tripped and fell and sprained a finger. That is kind of like what listening to 12 Summers Old is like. Remembering an injury so lame that no matter how you spin it, you can't make it sound cool — even to a twelve year old.
