Edler suspended two more games
Swede to miss start of Olympics due to kneeing incident
Swedish defenceman Alexander Edler is escorted off the ice after getting a major penalty in the quarter-final game against Canada. Photo: Andre Ringuette / HHOF-IIHF Images
The Disciplinary Committee decided to give Swedish player Alexander Edler an additional two-game suspension for a knee-on-knee hit at the World Championship.
The incident occurred in the first period of the quarter-final game against Canada. Edler collided with Canada's Eric Staal at centre ice, a hit which had Staal immediately fall down to the ice, favouring his leg and visibly in pain. Team Canada's captain had to be helped off the rink and did not return. Edler was assessed a major penalty and game misconduct on the play.
The 27-year-old defenceman was already suspended for the remainder of the 2013 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship on 17 May by the IIHF Independent Disciplinary Panel, whose mandate ran until the end of the tournament.
The panel determined at that time that Edler should have been penalized with a match penalty as he was in clear violation of the playing rule 536b (Kneeing) and deemed Edler's action as reckless, dangerous and in disregard to the vulnerability of his opponent for which he must be held accountable.
Supplementary disciplinary action exceeding the duration of the tournament was handled by the IIHF Disciplinary Committee. After a hearing at the IIHF headquarters in Zurich last week with the panel, the player, his counsel and a representative of the Swedish Ice Hockey Association, the IIHF Disciplinary Committee decided to issue an additional two-game suspension.
Edler already missed the semi-final and gold medal game at the Worlds and will miss Sweden's first two games of the men's ice hockey tournament at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, increasing Edler's suspension to a total amount of four games.
He will be suspended for the games against the Czech Republic (12 February 2014) and Switzerland (14 February 2014).

Women's History Month: Juanita Jackson Mitchell
You are here: Focusa2z Connects World > Blog > USA > Women's History Month: Juanita Jackson Mitchell
By Stacy M. Brown, NNPA Newswire Correspondent
@StacyBrownMedia
When Juanita Jackson Mitchell died in 1992 at the age of 79, she was praised as one of Maryland's heroines and as the matriarch of a family whose name became synonymous with civil rights causes.
"It was fitting that she received recognition because she was always one of those unsung champions of the cause and one who needs to be celebrated during both Black History and Women's History month," said Shane Carter, a self-described "black history buff."
Mitchell, the daughter of legendary NAACP leader Lillie Carroll Jackson, spent most of her life fighting against racism and segregation.
"I am an old freedom fighter. I came up in that tradition," Mitchell once said in describing her upbringing.
Mitchell's parents, who were living in Baltimore at the time, were traveling in Hot Springs, Arkansas when Mitchell was born.
She'd later become one of the first black women to graduate from the University of Maryland Law School and the first black woman to practice law in the state of Maryland.
Her late husband, Clarence M. Mitchell Jr., was a nationally recognized Capitol Hill lobbyist for the NAACP and her children, Michael B. Mitchell and Clarence M. Mitchell III, went on to become state senators.
Mitchell and her family frequently moved across the South as her father showed feature films in church basements, often the only facilities available to Black people while she was growing up. While her father changed movie reels, Mitchell would recite poetry to the moviegoers, according to BlackThen.com.
In 1937, Mitchell became the NAACP's first national youth director and visited the Scottsboro Boys in prison. Under her leadership, the NAACP youth groups launched a letter-writing campaign to protest the conviction of the Scottsboro Boys.
They also set up a fundraising drive to help support the young men.
She also led the key NAACP Baltimore branch during the same crucial period.
Mitchell founded the Baltimore City-Wide Young People's Forum in 1931 and the NAACP Youth Movement in 1935.
In 1942, she directed a march on Maryland's Capitol with 2,000 citizens, as well as the first city-wide "Register and Vote" campaign. The campaign resulted in 11,000 new voter registrations on the books.
In 1958, Mitchell directed the NAACP's "Register to Vote" campaign, which resulted in over 20,000 new registrations.
She was appointed to Presidential Commissions by Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson.
Mitchell was also a member of various organizations that supported the well-being of African Americans, such as Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, the National Association of Negro Business, and the Black American Professional Women's Club.
In 1986, she was inducted into the Maryland Women's Hall of Fame.
"Folks like Juanita Jackson Mitchell are the folks we often miss during Black History Month and during Women's History Month because everyone wants to concentrate on celebrities and superstars," Carter said. "But people should take a minute to look at the history of our real heroes," he said.

If You Don't Want My Peaches
6 — 28 Sep 2019 at the Cob Gallery in London, United Kingdom
If You Don't Want My Peaches. Courtesy of Cob Gallery
The first to follow Fowler's recent National Portrait Gallery commission 'Luminary Drawings', this exhibition finds the artist continuing her restless investigation into the often devastating effects of fame, focusing on the impossible spotlight and perilous underbelly of the Hollywood machine.
Drawing on source material including film stills, documentary footage, historical paparazzi and entertainment photography, Fowler's investigation of the interplay between tragedy and beauty emerges from intricate archival research. Her drawings are weighted by tensions surrounding ridicule, self-sabotage, compulsion, victimisation, emotional and physical vulnerability, exploitation, excess and abuse, played out in complex ways and in different combinations through the prism of the camera lens and the cinema screen.
As ever, Fowler's work maintains a special ability to reverse the gaze from her subjects to her audience; the act of looking is shifted into a sometimes discomforting reflection on the frenzied voyeurism that is accountable for the cannibalistic consumption of the stars depicted. Ambiguity is bodied forth in subtle fluctuations between mesmerising material finesse and the dark undercurrents of her subject matter.
Fowler exploits her medium beyond its traditional limitations to articulate a fraught relationship between adoration and revulsion. Like the experience of idolising a star – crafted from a studio-controlled, patrician ideal of the impossibly smooth and glamorous – we are dazzled, desensitised and misdirected by the surface appearance. Fowler lures us in with magnetic technical prowess, yet simultaneously dares us to peel back the mask of fantasy and face the uncomfortable truths of her subject matter.
The exhibition includes meditations on two former 'superstars' of the sliver screen, Judy Garland and Hedy Lamarr, represented at the end of their lives in a rare series of sumptuous coloured-pencil works. Displayed alongside each other as a composite installation, these works invites comparison between the mirrored personal struggles faced by these actresses as they faded into obscurity.
By placing particular focus on the female image, If You Don't Want my Peaches, You Better Stop Shaking The Treeconfronts a range of taboos with striking contemporary relevance. Fowler's work critiques the cinematic female archetype, its nurturing of misogyny and its responsibility for an array of conditioned societal expectations. In turn, the artist persuades us to question the relationship between what she has chosen to represent and broader discourses concerning the status and ongoing subjugation of women in society, reflecting on our own complicity in sustaining these fictions, rather than simply writing them off as the products of a Hollywood machine now in terminal decline.
Reclaiming the stereotype of 'tragic beauty', freeze-framing the unnerving 'caught off-guard' moment and capturing a deeply relatable, sometimes uncomfortable, human vulnerability, Fowler's work shifts the aesthetics of golden-age Hollywood into an urgent and beautiful engagement with the issues of our own age.
Cob Gallery supports new and emerging London-based talent in the visual arts. Incorporating a substantial exhibition space and adjoining artists' studios, it fosters a culture of close collaboration and mutual support between makers and curators, offering an inclusive and nourishing platform for artists to develop their practice.

Anime, Entertaiment, Shows
20 Best TV Shows Like Fairy Tail That You Should Watching Update 01/2023
Posted on October 28, 2021 by [email protected]
"Fairy Tail" has a devoted following because it's one of the most well-known magic fantasy anime series. It takes place in a world where magic is widely used, and Mages form guilds to help each other out. The Fairy Tail Guild is one such organization. Animes that are thematically and stylistically similar to this one can be found in our extensive Anime List. Here are our picks for the best anime that are similar to 'Fairy Tail'. Several of these anime, such as 'Fairy Tail,' can be found on Netflix, Crunchyroll, and Hulu, among other services.
20. D.Gray-Man (2006)
The anime series 'D.Gray-Man' is enormously popular. There's action, adventure, and superpowers galore in this comic. It's no secret that the anime's main bad guy, Millenium Earl, is a wily psychopath. He's skilled at taking advantage of people's frailties. When someone they care about dies, they often wish to bring him or her back to life. To resurrect someone, they must first steal their soul. This is where Earl steps in and gets dirty little hands dirty.
After that, he infuses Akuma, his mechanical creation, with the soul. For the sake of their own safety, Allen Walker and his fellow exorcists practice using an Anti-Akuma weapon they call "Innocence" in order to take on Millenium Earl and his Akuma. Because of his cursed eye, Allen can see the souls imprisoned in Akuma. To the onlooker, his hand appears innocent. Together, he is a formidable foe for Millenium Earl and the impending end of the world.
19. Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic (2012)
In terms of adventure and magic, 'Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic' is a standout. The Magi are a powerful and enigmatic race of wizards who are thought to be responsible for the invention of labyrinths, according to legend. The Magi lead people to these labyrinths, which contain priceless treasures, and by doing so, they aid in the expansion of the empire. These labyrinths are supposedly guarded by djinns. Aladdin is a sweet young magician. His desire to see more of the world has grown as a result of his long period of isolation. He befriends Alibaba Saluja after meeting her at a party one night. They make the decision to begin their journey by taking on the challenge of the local dungeon.
18. Soul Eater (2008)
The cast of 'Soul Eater,' like that of 'Fairy Tail,' is diverse and interesting, with each character possessing their own distinct personality traits. The anime is a lot of fun to watch. A well-known school in Death City is Death Weapon Meister Academy. Lord Death is the dean of this school. The academy's mission is to produce Shinigami Death Scythes for use in battle. There is no physical material used to make these weapons; instead, they are created by humans who have been given the ability to consume 99 evil souls, as well as the soul of a witch, in order to transform them into Death Weapons. This anime series features a cast full of fascinating and witty characters.
17. The Slayers (1995)
If you enjoyed 'Fairy Tail' for its combination of magic, adventure, and humor, you might enjoy 'The Slayers,' the next anime on this list. The anime's main character, Lina Inverse, is a formidable sorceress. She's a monster of avarice who travels the world robbing bandits of their valuables. Yet another set of criminals decides to ambush her in the forest, and she is brutally murdered by them. A knight in shining armor rescues her from the thieves just as she is about to face them. In addition, he offers to accompany her to Atlas City, an offer she accepts grudgingly. Lina, on the other hand, appears to be in possession of an important magical item, and the two enigmatic men are hunting them down.
16. Akame ga Kill (2014)
There will be more anime in the genres of action, adventure, and fantasy for you to enjoy. For fans of fantasy and magic, 'Akame ga Kill' is a fantastic action show. However, this show is not for those who are easily offended, as it features a significant amount of bloodshed and gore. The Goblin Slayer or Devilman: Crybaby fans will have a blast with this show. When Tatsumi goes to the capital in search of work, he ends up joining a group called Night Raid, which uses a special weapon called Teigu to help the Revolutionary Army overthrow the Prime Minister, who is causing mental illness in the young king.
15. Nanatsu no Taizai (2014)
The settings and characters in 'Nanatsu no Taizai' are strikingly similar to those in 'Fairy Tail.' They served the Kingdom of Liones as a powerful group of knights known as the Seven Deadly Sins of Eden. However, it appeared that they had made up their minds to stage a coup. No one knows what happened to the holy knights after they defeated the demons of sin, but rumors persist that they are still alive. The Holy Knights attempt to overthrow the king years later. When the holy knights invade the kingdom of Liones, Princess Elizabeth of Liones sets out on a quest to find the seven deadly sins and use them to her advantage. While the plot is predictable, the series has some of the most memorable characters.
14. Black Clover (2017)
Watch 'Black Clover' if you enjoy action, magic, or comedic anime. It's been getting a lot of attention in the market lately. The plot centers on Asta and Yuno, two boys. On the same day, they were both abandoned and taken to an orphanage. After growing up and learning about the Wizard King, they vowed to take on each other in a competition for the title of "Wizard of Oz." Asta, on the other hand, is a mediocre magician compared to Yuno. A four-leaf clover grimoire is given to Yuno at the age of 15, whereas Asta receives nothing. After that, Lebuty, a thief after Yuno's grimoire, attacks him. Asta makes an effort to assist, but he falls short against Lebuty. With the help of the five-leaf clover grimoire he receives after hearing Yuno's voice however, Lebuty is defeated. The pair is now moving forward with their lives to make good on their promise.
13. Rave Master (2001)
Rave Master is your typical magical-reality show. The final showdown between good and evil is just around the corner, and only the main character has the power to stop it. Not that the anime isn't entertaining. Rave, the ancient power of destruction, was used 50 years ago by a single swordsman to destroy the Dark Brings, stones containing evil energies. However, a tenth of the world's population was wiped out as a result of the catastrophe. Some people are currently collecting and wreaking havoc with the Dark Brings' fragments. Haru Glory, Rave's inheritor and guardian, must use his abilities to put an end to these villains. The Rave Stones are what he'll need to get to the finish line.
12. Boku no Hero Academia (2016)
One of the most well-known anime series of all time is 'Boku no Hero Academia.' The show has a great sense of humor and intrigue. It's based on the emergence of superhuman abilities in the human population known as quirks. It can be used for good or bad, depending on who you ask. People who put it to good use are heroes, and they go to hero academies to learn how to be them professionally. All Might's idol, Midoriya Izuku, aspires to be a hero like him, but he lacks quirks. A chance encounter with his hero, however, teaches him that All Might's special ability can be used by anyone. Before the UA High School entrance exam, he starts working hard to gain the ability to inherit the quirk.
11. Noragami (2014)
"Noragami" features a cast of colorful and charismatic characters, each of whom leaves their own imprint. The anime is described as "supernatural," so fans of that subgenre will enjoy it. When Yato grows up, he wants to be a well-known deity with millions of devotees. In order to help those in need, he goes around pinning his phone number to prominent locations. His weapon partner gets fed up and leaves because he doesn't have a shrine in his name. Hiyori Iki intervenes to prevent Yato from losing her soul in a car accident. Then Hiyori asks Yato to fix her, but he needs someone to help him. As a result, Hiyori agrees to assist him in finding a new partner despite his protests.
10. Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka (2015)
Fantasy and adventure fans will enjoy "Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka" just as much as they did "Fairy Tail." The anime's protagonist, Bell Cranel, aspires to be the world's greatest explorer. However, he has not participated in any noteworthy exploits. As luck would have it, an outcast deity named Hestia decides to lend a hand and the two set out to explore the mysterious dungeons of Rome. Despite the fact that the journey will be difficult and dangerous, it will be full of excitement as well.
9. Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! (2016)
Unassuming Kazuma Satou was returning home after making a video game purchase. However, he dies in a ludicrous and pitiful manner. He meets goddess Aqua in the afterlife, who offers him a choice. He has the option of going to heaven or reincarnating in a video game-like fantasy world. It's a dream come true for any video game fan. Despite his preference for a fantasy land, however, he realizes that in order to live in this world, he must work hard and earn a living. He also had the option of taking whatever he wanted. Aqua is Kazuma's first choice, but he soon realizes that he made a mistake because Aqua is powerless to make his life any easier. Maybe our planet isn't as bad as we thought!
8. Naruto (2002)
One of the most well-known shounen anime series is 'Naruto.'. The majority of you probably watched this for the first time when it came out. There are over 400 episodes of the show (including 'Shippuden'). Naruto is a brash young ninja who delights in causing mischief for his friends. Er aspirations include being one of his generation's best ninjas, as well as becoming the village's leader. Naruto was born with the nine-tailed fox demon sealed inside him by the fourth Hokage years before. People shunned him rather than praising him. When Naruto was a petty criminal, the anime shows him growing up to be the greatest hero of his generation.
7. Bleach (2004)
Another well-known shounen anime is 'Bleach.' There's a lot of excitement, adventure, and drama in this book. As with other anime like 'Naruto,' 'Dragon Ball Z,' and so on, it uses the same tropes. The main character goes up against the antagonists. So, as the bad guys get stronger, our hero must train harder to keep up his strength and defeat them. Bleach makes extensive use of this strategy. The story revolves around Ichigo Kurosaki, who, after a chance encounter with a soul reaper, becomes a substitute soul reaper in order to save his family from Hollows. After that, everything in his life changed as he took on the role of world protector.
6. Youjo Senki (2017)
'Youjo Senki' is a must-watch for fans of magic anime. The series features a protagonist who is cunning, selfish, and borderline evil in nature. The antagonist is expected to have these characteristics, but instead, the main character possesses them, and you can't help but find him to be extremely amusing. It's an anime about a man who rejects God and is reincarnated in a world of magical conflict several years in the past by God, or rather, Being X. Tanya Degurechaff is the woman in this story. While Tanya denies the existence of God, she still seeks to advance in the military so that she can retire peacefully, which defeats the purpose of her reincarnation and, in turn, Being X's plan to use her against her.
5. Hunter x Hunter (2011)
This is one of the best adventure anime series ever made. As Gon Freecs grows up, he dreams of becoming a hunter like his dad. In the world of 'Hunter x Hunter,' the job of Hunter is highly regarded. In certain areas, they specialize and take on very dangerous jobs, they are specialized. Gon aspires to the life of a hunter in order to track down his biological father. In order to be a doctor, however, he must pass an extremely difficult exam. Killua, a boy from an assassin family, is a classmate of his during the exam. As soon as they'd finished the test, they'd set out to find Gon's father, which was the beginning of their journey.
4. One Piece (1999)
If you haven't seen it, you've probably heard of the anime series 'One Piece.' Many anime fans avoid this one due to the large number of episodes. This series has around 900 episodes. But don't let that deter you; the anime itself is quite captivating. With Monkey D. Luffy as the center of attention, the story revolves around his quest to find the legendary One Piece, which was hidden in Grand Line by Gol D. Roger's predecessor, and to become the next Pirate King. As a result of his devil fruit power, Luffy transforms into a rubber man who can extend his limbs in any direction.
3. Sword Art Online (2012)
One of the most well-known isekai anime is 'Sword Art Online. As mentioned, the anime takes place entirely in a fantasy land filled with magic and guilds. A new MMORPG called Sword Art Online has just been released, and it has piqued interest due to the use of NervGear technology. Approximately ten thousand players, however, will discover that they are unable to log out and must remain in the game until all levels have been completed. As a result, they've been put in a virtual world where they can't leave until they die in the real world. The anime's main character, Kazuto Kirigaya, is now fighting for his life and trying to figure out how to return to the real world.
2. Dragon Ball (1986)
As far as I can remember, 'Dragon Ball' was one of my first anime viewings. While the show is highly entertaining, the franchise is only getting bigger with each new episode that airs. The main characters are currently on a par with deities. However, it all began when Goku (an alien from the planet Saiyan) was a child trying to survive on his own when he met Bulma, Krillin, Master Roshi, and many others. It takes him years of dedication and hard work to build on his already impressive set of superpowers and become one of Earth's greatest heroes.
1. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (2009)
Another of my all-time favorite anime series is 'Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.' This is a fantastic series with a wide range of content, from action to magic, adventure to science fiction. The Elric brothers, Edward and Alphonse, are devastated by the death of their mother and resort to alchemy in an attempt to bring her back. But it's too late for them to correct their error, and Alphonse and Edward both die as a result. Using his right hand, Edward manages to secure his brother's psyche to a suit of armor. In order to reclaim their bodies, the brothers are on the prowl for the philosopher's stone.

Probiotics are one of the latest health crazes. Unfortunately for us, many of these products don't give the health benefits that they claim. Of the hundreds on the market today, only about twenty have clinical studies to support their claims of increased health.
The root words of probiotics mean "for life". Probiotics refer to a "friendly" or good flora that's lives in our digestive tract. This is essential for our bodies to break down and digest food. Without this process we cannot gain nutrition from the foods we eat. These friendly bacteria make up 70-85% of our immune system. Probiotics have existed in every traditional diet in recorded history. The most commonly known example is German sauerkraut. The use of this friendly flora originally came about through the use of fermentation to preserve foods before the use of refrigerators. The practice of using probiotics and fermentation stuck around because people noticed many health benefits.
Newer research is also indicating probiotics may help with things such as; reducing colds and flu, treating kidney stones, treating colic, cavity and gum disease prevention, treatment of colitis and Crohn's disease, treat liver disease, comeback anti-biotic resistant bacteria, manage autism, and many more benefits.
Many will ask, "If probiotics are already in my food why should I need to take more or add them to my diet with a supplement?" One of the biggest reasons to invest in a probiotic supplement is that few of us eat traditional foods or maintain a traditional diet any longer. We are not drinking herbal tonics daily, or aging our own cheese. Most of the foods we buy at the grocery store are processed for speed and uniformity at the market. They are also produced in the cheapest most profitable way which often cuts corners and is detrimental to our naturally occurring probiotics. Fermentation to create probiotics is normally a slower process and sometimes unpredictable, making it not a likely choice for mass productions. Many products claiming probiotic benefits also add sugar. This helps them taste better, but counteracts almost 100% of the benefit of the probiotic.
When choosing a probiotic supplement, you must look for SIX main things: stability, sugar, date, living vs. dead, bacteria type, and potency.
Date- the fresher the better, remember these are live cultures!
Living vs. dead- "live and active" is better than "made with live". This ensures that after fermentation the supplements are not being heated. This kills the live cultures, thus decreasing your benefit.
Bacteria type- make sure the bacteria strain used and noted on the label contains 2 names and 2 letters: the genus, species and strain. If the label only lists 2 names, it could be hundreds of different types without research to support them.
Potency- the higher the number the better. If the supplement doesn't list a number of colony-forming units or CFU's, it's a red flag for an UN pure supplement and should not be taken.
Probiotics if taken correctly can greatly increase your health. As with all supplements make sure you are making educated choices and reading your labels! If you have any questions about probiotics or other supplements please feel free to call Dr. Dierdra at Cornerstone Family Chiropractic in Independence, KY at 859-815-9371.
Can you use essential oils in children's health?
Thanks for your blog! Some people say that probiotics are neither good or bad. But by stopping by, I knew that probiotics are a great help for our immune system. I tried this PHP maxam product. It helps to replenish and restore proper immune and gut bacterial functionality beyond the standard probiotic formula.

Q: how to implement neural artwork to get art painting images for ios? so, the question is that i want to implement filters like prisma app, i found that neural art work deep learning can be used to do it. But how to implement it in objective c or swift ? Anyone have any idea say ? thanks in advance !

A: You can use Convolutional Neural Network for that. As a framework i suggest using TensorFlow. It works perfectly with CNN's plus the code can be written in C++.

Notions of 'therapy' have become ubiquitous in popular culture as a way to make sense of identity. This article argues that a particular notion of therapy, which is linked to a desire for 'well-being', has become a signifier for anxieties about subjectivity, loss and cultural change. Tracing some of the key debates about notions of therapy culture over the past fifty years within psychosocial and cultural studies, the article explores the relationship between aspects of therapy culture, notions of emotional well-being, celebrity culture and the emergence of 'charismatic psychotherapy' through examples taken from popular culture and the media, focussing in particular on representations of the celebrity therapist Derek Draper. Taking a psycho-cultural approach, the article combines psychosocial and cultural studies with a psychoanalytic emphasis on object relations, where an understanding of the unconscious is contextualised by an awareness of the political and historical context in which those processes take place.


We propose a random graph model which is a special case of sparse random graphs with given degree sequences. This model involves only a small number of parameters, called logsize and log-log growth rate. These parameters capture some universal characteristics of massive graphs. Furthermore, from these parameters, various properties of the graph can be derived. For example, for certain ranges of the parameters, we will compute the expected distribu-tion of the sizes of the connected components which almost surely occur with high probability. We will illustrate the consistency of our model with the behavior of some massive graphs derived from data in telecommunications. We will also discuss the threshold function, the giant component, and the evolution of random graphs in this model.

Recently, Barabási and Albert  suggested modeling complex real-world networks such as the worldwide web as follows: consider a random graph process in which vertices are added to the graph one at a time and joined to a fixed number of earlier vertices, selected with probabilities proportional to their degrees. In  and, with Jeong, in , Barabási and Albert suggested that after many steps the proportion Pd of vertices with de-gree d should obey a power law Pdαd−γ. They obtained γ = 29 ± 01 by experiment and gave a simple heuristic argument suggesting that γ = 3. Here we obtain Pd asymptotically for all d ≤ n1/15, where n is the number of vertices, proving as a consequence that γ = 3.

Coca-Cola could disappear from Intermarché and Netto pending resolution of a deliveries dispute
Soft drink Coca-Cola could disappear from some supermarket shelves in France in the next few days, after a dispute erupted over "new healthier trends" and delivery problems.
Supermarkets Intermarché and Netto may no longer sell the drink after distributors allegedly decided to stop deliveries pending unresolved negotiations over product listings for 2020. The dispute could also affect the brands Fanta, Sprite, and Tropico.
In a letter published in specialist publication LSA, Thierry Cotillard, president of Intermarché and Netto, said: "This brutal and sudden stoppage in deliveries is due to a dispute over the ranges; Coca-Cola wants to force us to carry a 2020 range, which we do not want. The soft drinks market is seeing a significant drop in volume: -3.2% over the past 12 months.
"Our clients want healthier products to maintain their long-term health"
"Our clients want healthier products to maintain their long-term health. They are also falling out of favour with products that have a negative effect on the environment, leaving single-use plastic behind, and favouring less-processed products, from local sources."
He added: "We let the industry know in summer that from 2020, we are intending to take real steps to reduce the prominence of certain sodas, in favour of products that embody these new healthier, lower-sugar trends."
Mr Cotillard said that in response, Coca-Cola had decided to halt all deliveries completely.
He said: "Coca-Cola is abusing its dominant position, with a view to forcing us to carry all of its products. In reality, this move aims to restrict Intermarché and Netto's access to new product lines, often made by small businesses, that we want to carry from January, instead of sodas."
He added: "We cannot accept such methods. We will not allow a multinational to interfere with our convictions [or] flout our independent values. We are ready to fight for our rights (in court) and denounce the actions of this manufacturer."
But in its own letter to LSA, Coca-Cola said: "We are aware of recent statements from Intermarché. These statements are inaccurate. We are not the source of any dispute in our commercial relationship with Intermarché, nor any attempt to impose our ranges.
"Our contract with Intermarché ended on December 21, 2019. Despite our offers, we had not come to an agreement by January 1, 2020, in the context of Intermarché having announced a massive delisting of our products. While waiting to hear about Intermarché's position on orders delivered from January 1, 2020, we have put deliveries on hold.
"We are of course ready to deliver as soon as we have found an agreement on conditions of sale after January 1. We continue to prioritise talks with Intermarché."

João Nicolau de Almeida, the son of Fernando Nicolau de Almeida, the creator of Barca Velha, and Maria José Ramos Pinto Rosas, was born in Porto in 1949 in a wine-oriented family context.
Fate led him to study oenology in France (Bordeaux and Dijon), with some of the most relevant names in the field, such as Émile Peynaud, Jean Ribéreau-Gayon, and others.
He began his career in 1976, at Casa Ramos Pinto. Challenged by José Ramos Pinto Rosas, the administrator of the Casa at the time, he developed a series of studies which would revolutionize the viticultural approach of the Douro region. He introduced irrigation systems, vinha ao alto planting (vertical planting) and its mechanization, and he conducted a study of the Douro varieties, suggesting a selection of five recommended varieties for the region. These varieties are widely cultivated nowadays. All this work was done not only to improve the quality of the Port wines, but also to develop the Douro wines. In 1990, he released the first harvest of Duas Quintas, one of the first Douro wines to be recognized on a national and international level as an exceptional wine. In 2000, he became both the director of oenology and the CEO of Casa Ramos Pinto.
In the meantime, in 1993, João Nicolau de Almeida began the process of building the Quinta do Monte Xisto, together with his children. Today, after 40 years of labour and dedication to the Douro region and Casa Ramos Pinto, he continues his work through João Nicolau de Almeida & Filhos.

Jamie Foxx is being sought for the role of Bronze Tiger in the upcoming DC film Bronze Tiger
Celebrities, DC, Movies, News
Warner Bros. just launched HBO Max, its first foray into the streaming service market. While many streaming services have failed to establish their feet, it appears like Warner Bros. is charging ahead with their new outlet for their firm. We've seen announcement after announcement of interesting new DC initiatives on the service in recent months, and we've heard much more from our trusted insiders. Now, we can exclusively reveal that one of our reliable inside sources has heard that DC is working on a Bronze Tiger film for HBO Max. They are also interested in hiring Jamie Foxx for the position. If the studio can strike a deal with Jamie Foxx, it would be a huge triumph for HBO Max and a fantastic addition to DC. Jamie Foxx is a singer, an actor, and a comedian. He's a multi-talented powerhouse, much like Bronze Tiger, who is a great martial artist in a variety of disciplines. It's always nice to see Foxx doing more. While we know Warner Bros. wants to bring him on for this movie, our source was unable to reveal if Jamie Foxx is aware of this or has met with the company yet.
We know he played Electro in Spider-Man for Marvel, so he isn't new to the superhero genre or a star who is against these sorts of films. He's also appeared in the Netflix comedy series Dad, Stop Embarrassing Me!, so he's been a part of the streaming revolution. HBO's Bronze Tiger Max, ideally, will be the type of job he is interested in. What do we think of this prospective role for Jamie Foxx? While he has appeared in The CW's Arrowverse and in video games, the character has a long history in DC comics. The Bronze Tiger is an antihero who has previously been linked to the suicide squad.
In fact, fan movements anticipated that the character, sometimes known as Ben or Benjamin Turner, would appear in both films before they were released. Idris Elba, who just played Bloodsport in The Suicide Squad, has been a popular choice for the part of Ben Turner in recent years. As previously stated, the potential Jamie Foxx's character in Bronze Tiger has a background in martial arts. A burglar broke into the character's house while he was a youngster. When he saw the burglar attack his parents, he murdered them with a knife. This instilled a great deal of wrath in him, which he channeled via martial arts. He isn't a superpowered antihero. He's a person with a lot of abilities and an inner struggle propelling him onward. In the stories, he is occasionally a criminal. He's a complicated character, like many antiheroes, and he deserves a talented actor like Jamie Foxx to portray the Bronze Tiger.
There will be plenty of opportunities for future ventures with Bronze Tiger, so it seems logical that DC is seeking an established performer like Jamie Foxx. Ben Turner is familiar with other characters, such as Green Arrow, about whom we recently heard that DC has plans. He is familiar with Deathstroke, and we have learnt that DC is considering reintroducing the character to the DC Universe. And, of course, he's a perfect match for the suicide squad, so seeing him pair up with any of those characters in the future is a distinct possibility. Hopefully, they'll put together a team that Jamie Foxx will want to work with, and we'll get to see a genuinely intriguing antihero on HBO Max soon.

Ursus americanus Pallas, 1780
American Black Bear; Black Bear; includes the Spirit Bear and the Kermode Bear
Family: Ursidae
© David Blevins (Photo ID #86)
Distribution of Ursus americanus in British Columbia
The Black Bear is a solitary species that is active throughout the day. It is found across most of North America and throughout British Columbia. It is one of the most readily seen and easily identified large wildlife species in the province. It has noticeable rounded ears, small eyes, a large snout, thick legs, large flat-soled feet and a very small tail (Hatler et al. 2008). Not all Black Bears are black--they may be blonde, cinnamon, brown or black, and some may have a v-shaped white patch on the chest. The Kermode Bear or Spirit Bear, which is a Black Bear, can be white.
At a distance, smaller Black Bears can look like a large dog. Small Black Bears may be confused with Grizzly Bears; sometimes it is difficult to separate larger lighter-coloured Black Bears from Grizzly Bears. The most reliable feature for separation is the large hump over the shoulders on grizzlies and their much longer front claws. View a photo of grizzly bear claws.
The Black Bear is a forest species throughout its range, but forages in a variety of habitats, including forest (conifer swamps, hardwoods) and shrub areas, shrub-steppe, ridgetops, shorelines, and riparian areas (Hatler et al. 2008, Wikipedia 2011).
Five subspecies of the Black Bear are recognized in BC (Hatler et al. 2008), including the Kermode or Spirit Bear of the central and north coast and adjacent islands (Hatler et al. 2008). One in ten Kermode Bears are white or cream-coloured. The five subspecies are:
1) Ursus americanus altifrontalis (coast form)
2) Ursus americanus carlottae (Queen Charlotte Islands)
3) Ursus americanus cinnamomum (most of BC east of the coast mountains)
4) Ursus americanus kermodei(mainland coast of BC and adjacent islands, from Burke Channel to the Nass River)
5) Ursus americanus vancouveri (Vancouver Island and larger adjacent islands).
However, recent genetic work does not appear to support these distinctions but rather supports two genetic groups: a coastal group and a continental group. Further work on the taxonomy of the Black Bear is needed. For further information on this, please refer to Hatler et al. (2008).
The highest recorded density of Black Bears in western North America is from a coastal island off of Washington State where 12 to 15 bears per km square has been reported. Bears play a significant ecological role as dispersal agents through their consumption of plant seeds. Seeds consumed by bears reportedly have higher germination rates (Hatler et al. 2008). Bears also contribute to nutrient levels in associated ecosystems, both through nutrients in their feces and through salmon carcasses they leave behind that decompose and further add nutrients to the soil (Hatler et al. 2008).
View a video of the black bear by Rod Innes.
In British Columbia, the Black Bear is most likely to be confused with the Grizzly Bear, especially lighter colour and brown colour forms of the Black Bear. Large Grizzly Bears are easily identified by size but smaller grizzlies can be confused with Black Bears.. Hatler et al. (2008) provide the following characters that can be used to separate the two species:
1) presence of a hump in Grizzly Bears, lacking in Black Bears
2) ear differences (the ears are more prominent in Black Bears)
3) presence of a ruff (a ruff of longer neck hairs is often present in Grizzlies)
4) front claw length (much longer in Grizzlies).
Native S5 Yellow NAR (May 1999)
White-coloured bears are less visible to the fish they catch in streams than darker coloured Black Bears. This makes them more successful fishers.

The Labour Cost Index (LCI) recorded an increase of 3.2 percent in salary and wage rates (including overtime) in the year to the December 2006 quarter, Statistics New Zealand said today. Earnings growth was also evident in the Quarterly Employment Survey (QES), where seasonally adjusted total gross earnings increased 9.0 percent in the same period, the largest annual increase recorded by Statistics NZ for this series in the QES.
The mean increase was 5.5 percent for all surveyed salary and ordinary time wage rates that rose in the year to the December 2006 quarter. This is the same increase as in the September 2006 quarter. The mean increase was 5.2 percent for the December 2006 quarter, the largest quarterly mean increase since the LCI began in the December 1992 quarter.
QES results for the year to the December 2006 quarter show the annual increase in total gross earnings exceeded the annual increase in total paid hours. This resulted in a 4.9 percent annual increase in average total hourly earnings, to $22.40. Employment, as measured by full-time equivalent employees (FTEs), increased 2.8 percent for the year to the December 2006 quarter.

Ohio sues nonprofit over alleged vet scam
By MARC KOVAC
Dix Communications
COLUMBUS -- Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray has filed suit against a national nonprofit that has collected $1.9 million in donations from Ohioans in the name of helping military veterans.
During a news conference near the Statehouse on Thursday, Cordray called the U.S. Navy Veterans Association "a phony outfit that is simply using the good name of our armed forces ... to cheat Ohioans and other patriotic Americans."
The state has requested temporary restraining orders to stop the Florida-based group from collecting donations in Ohio, with hopes of confiscating new donations for future return to donors.
With the action, Ohio joins a number of other states investigating the association and its activities. The issue came to light following an investigation by the St. Petersburg Times newspaper, which questioned whether the group was using donations to assist veterans or if some of the donations went instead to political candidates.
"The closer we look at this organization, the more outrageous its conduct appears," Cordray said. "The evidence is mounting that the association is misrepresenting its mission. It is trading on the good name of our armed forces and patriotic Americans to solicit funds that it says will be used to assist veterans directly. Instead, we have reason to ask whether some of those funds are actually going to political campaigns."
The main individual associated with the U.S. Navy Veterans Association has disappeared and "is on the lam," Cordray said. Others listed on charitable registration documents filed with the state could not be found.
"Investigators in our charitable law section have been unable to locate any of the three people listed on the registration documents as having final responsibility for the custody of contributions in Ohio," Cordray said, adding later, "As far as we know, the three people listed do not exist."
State Sen. Kirk Schuring confirmed that his congressional campaign two years ago received a $1,000 contribution from the group as part of a fundraiser he attended. He said he knew little about the organization, other than that its purported purpose was to aid military men and women.
"There's nothing worst than somebody who would take the good name of our veterans and use that as a way to feather their own nest," Schuring said. "If it does prove to be a scam, then I'm outraged by the whole thing and I hope he's punished to the fullest extent of the law."
The temporary restraining order filings are pending in common pleas courts in Hamilton and Fairfield counties.
