Pakistan PM Imran Khan on Monday announced Asia's largest oil and gas reserves may soon be found in Karachi's offshore waters, according to reports in Express News.
In a talk with journalists, Khan said there have been positive indicators in the exploration process and the nation would likely be hearing major news on this front within the next three weeks. He urged the nation to pray for the success of the exploration efforts and said the development could bring about a massive change in Pakistan's fortunes.
Khan further told the journalists that it was possible that India could sponsor a terrorist attack in Pakistan before the start of its general elections next month. "We cannot let our guard down. We have to remain alert," said the premier.
He said the US had been giving Pakistan to fight its war but Islamabad had now changed that policy. The bulk of the Khan's interaction focused on domestic issues, with PM Imran categorically stating that his government has nothing to fear if the country's opposition launches a mass protest campaign.
The prime minister said criticism of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) was on the rise because the anti-graft body was pursuing cases against those who considered themselves powerful and above Pakistan's laws.

Listening over my shoulder
/ Announcements / By knerburn
Last week I was in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, where Neither Wolf nor Dog was the first annual selection for their "Community Reads" program. Their hope was to get 3000 people in the community to read and discuss the book. I was invited down to give several presentations.
It was a fine event and I was deeply moved, as well as energized, by the community's interest in the book and subjects it raised. What I believe it did, at least for much of the reading population, was to open them to the difficulty of reaching out to the new immigrant groups that are moving into their community. What they had seen in Neither Wolf nor Dog was someone going to a community not his own, with different values and a different history, and trying to find a way to connect respectfully while holding onto his own identity.
That's a bit of a cartoon version, but it moves in the right direction.
Among the various presentations I gave was one to a group of civic leaders — mayor, city manager, city council, school board, school administration, social service folk, etc. It was the only one I had actually prepared in a formal sense, so I thought I'd post it on the website so you could listen in your own mind to what I had to say.
A presentation to Community Leaders on 25 October 2004 as part of 2004 "Eden Prairie Reads" program
By Kent Nerburn, author of Neither Wolf nor Dog: On Forgotten Roads with an Indian Elder
"SHOW THEM YOUR HEART"
I was, as you might well imagine, very honored when your community chose a book of mine as the first selection for Eden Prairie reads. But I was also very curious. What did the people who chose that book see in it that made them choose it over all the other wonderful books out there?
For the last few months I've been asking that question of people in your community. And the answer is always the same – "You took us into a different world," they say, "but you did not lose your sense of self. You made us see through different eyes, and we, as a community, want to learn to see through different eyes — need to learn to see through different eyes. We thought maybe your book could help us do that."
It is a wonderful compliment. It would be my dream as a writer that it could have such an effect. And I cannot add a whit to the book in that regard. But perhaps I can talk to you a bit about what I have learned about entering into communities and cultures other than my own, and offer a few thoughts that will help you in your admirable efforts to open your community to the new cultures that are changing its face and shape.
And the best place to start is with my introduction to the Indian people of Red Lake when I first tried to enter into their community. It came at a place called "the tribal cultural center." It was not what I had expected: a converted construction shack with a plywood ramp for an entryway. But the sign said, "Tribal Cultural Center," and it was there that I was told I could find a woman who could help me with my new job as coordinator of an oral history program, so I put on my best, warm, "Hi, I'm glad to meet you," smile and walked through the door.
Two women were sitting at a card table sorting through a shoebox full of multi-colored beads. The older woman was choosing beads, then handing them one by one to a round-faced younger woman, who was delicately stringing them on a transparent filament.
"Hello," I said. "I'm looking for Delores Cloud." The young girl looked up furtively. I could sense the slightest shade of a glance toward the older woman, as if she were waiting for her to take the lead in making a response. The older woman said nothing, but just kept sorting beads.
"I was told to ask for Delores," I continued. "I'm Kent Nerburn. I've been hired by the school to help the students collect the memories of the elders."
Still, there was no response.
"This is the tribal cultural center, isn't it?" I asked. "You're Delores Cloud?"
The older woman slowed her sorting enough to let me know that, yes, she was Delores Cloud, and, yes, she was listening.
"I'm Kent Nerburn," I repeated. "I've been hired to work on the oral history project with the students." I reached out my hand in greeting. It hung there, unmet, until I slowly withdrew it and let it fall clumsily to my side. I continued with less brightness in my voice. "I was told that you could give me some guidance on which of the elders might be willing to talk to the students."
The woman picked out a yellow bead and handed it to the girl, who was intently trying to avoid any involvement in the situation. I glanced from one to the other, but neither would look at me.
I backpedaled a bit. "I'm sorry. If you're busy, or if there would be a better time. . . ."
"Look, sonny, " the older woman said abruptly, still refusing to look at me. "If you think you're going to come in here and do another one of those damn white anthropology projects, you can just get on your pony and ride."
I was taken completely off guard. With cheeks burning, I backed out the door. What had I done wrong? I was there to seek help for the children. I had entered respectfully, offered my hand in friendship. There had been no arrogance in my manner, and I had come with no self-serving purpose. In fact, my only goal was to help give voice to the elders by crafting their stories into a book they could pass on and share with their children and grandchildren. How could I have done it better? How had I done it wrong?
Well, let me count the ways.
I had entered with a forcefulness of purpose rather than with humility.
I had stated my case rather than waiting to be asked to do so.
I had believed that the legitimacy of my task had justified my presence, and I had believed that my professional status and responsibility gave me entree to those who might be able to assist in that task.
Most of all, I had believed that my good intentions and forthright manner would be sufficient proof of the quality of my heart.
Only months later, after Delores and I had become friends, did I understand that what I had needed to do to gain her assistance was to serve silently, allowing myself to be observed, and waiting until I was approached.
I should have introduced myself and offered to help sort beads. If they had accepted my offer, I should have sat down and worked alongside them, asking nothing, demanding nothing. When they had wanted to talk to me, they would have. Perhaps it would have been that day. Perhaps it would have been after three weeks of silent beading. Perhaps it would have been never. But that was not my decision to make.
Instead, I had come into their world, like a noisy, clumsy, Christopher Columbus, convinced of the legitimacy of my mission, assuming the primacy of my point of view, and expecting acceptance under the terms and conditions of human interaction as I understood them. I was performing, as an Indian friend later explained it, an act of psychological colonialism.
Even today, it's hard for me to see my actions on that occasion as aggressive or presumptive. I still believe I was just being civil, and deserved better than what I got. But now, at least, I understand what had happened. I had entered with my own value system, and presumed its legitimacy and correctness. I had, metaphorically speaking, splashed clumsily onto their shore, planted my flag, and told them I was there to help them, all with no thought of the way life was carried on in the world that I was entering.
We all do such things. Sometimes it's socially, sometimes it's culturally, where we misunderstand and, with good intentions, make mistakes that close the hearts of others to us.
What I would like to do is talk to you a bit about ways to keep those doors open, even open them when they are closed, and why it is good, even important, that we should do so.
Yours is a lucky community, and I don't mean that simply financially, though luck does ride comfortably on the back of economic security and wealth. But, more importantly, yours is a lucky community because it is a community in a state of becoming. Its growth offers opportunities as great as its challenges. You get to shape this community, both physically and culturally, for generations to come.
I don't wish to talk to you about shaping it physically. You all know all too well the balancing act that must be performed between providing for private opportunity and public good.
But I do wish to talk about shaping it culturally.
I would counsel you strongly to make sure that you excavate your native heritage, both physically and metaphorically. You distort the significance of your native past if you slot them in simply as a minority group, rather than seeing them as the fundament on which your community is built.
Knowing their experience here – knowing what the red rock of Red Rock Trail was, knowing how and where Little Crow and Shakopee and the other chiefs of the Minnesota River valley lived, knowing about the passage of the 1700 Sioux prisoners – mostly women and children — who were marched past here on their journey from southern Minnesota to Fort Snelling after the fighting in 1862, is as important as knowing about the Mitchell or Anderson families, or the other white settlers who are recognized as being so much a part of your community's heritage .
These native people, too, are your community's heritage, and you cheat yourselves and your children if you do not shine as bright a light on their experience as you do upon the homesteaders and the settlers who came in their wake.
But it is what you do with the new people and new cultures who are coming in to your community that will be your greatest legacy to the children and the future.
What I'd like to share with you is a little bit about how I believe you can best shape this legacy.
Let me go back to Delores for a moment. When I got over my embarrassment and anger and chagrin, what I realized was that Delores was teaching me a simple cultural lesson. "Show me your heart, not your resume. Offer yourself, then let me decide."
Two weeks later I had a chance to put that into practice when I decided to drive out to the small village of Ponemah 40 miles from Red Lake. It is the most traditional of the Red Lake reservation towns, sitting on a point of land that reaches far out into the largest lake in Minnesota, and is accessible by only a single road cutting through deep pine forests. Some of my quietest, most reticent students came from there.
I had already been told by an Indian man who had become somewhat of a mentor that teachers were both revered and feared on the reservation – revered because it was to them that the children were entrusted, and feared because of what they could do to the children if they did not properly use that trust. So he advised me to go to the parents and show myself to them.
I drove out the long, lonely road to Ponemah, passing the battered clapboard houses, with their small, doghouse-like burial dwellings sitting in the side yards covered with plastic flowers. After almost an hour of lonely travel I came to the home of one of the students who had agreed to show me around her community.
But this time, I knew better — I did not go to the door. I waited outside. Curtains moved, faces appeared, then disappeared. Finally, the mother came out, along with her daughter and small son. I introduced myself and we talked a bit, then she said we could go. The little boy got in the car along with his sister. I was being trusted – after all, the mother was letting her daughter go off with a strange adult male – but I was being monitored: the young boy was sent along to serve as a witness and reporter.
This was no big thing, but it was a giant thing. From being rejected and shunted out a door by one reservation woman, I had moved to being trusted in a car with another woman's teenaged daughter, and it was because I had followed the rules of encounter that I had learned, and because I had accepted, without questioning, the woman's conditions for allowing her daughter to go with me.
Had I pushed, had I questioned, had I hesitated or even shown mild consternation or surprise at the presence of the little brother, I would have been rejected as surely as I had been rejected by Delores. And I know this is true, because the family later told me so.
What I am saying is that we enter into people's lives only when we are asked into people's lives, and we ask best when we acknowledge their ways and accord them the respect of wanting to learn and abide by those ways.
Now, this is where it becomes crucial. I was the person without power in that cultural situation, so I had no intelligent choice but to abide by the cultural standards of those I wished to meet.
But the same rules of encounter must apply when we are the people in power – when it is our culture that the other seeks to enter. We have a choice: we can say, "You are here. This is America. You'd better learn to do it our way, or you can get on your pony and ride." Or, we can say, "Welcome. We have a way of doing things. But you have a way of doing things, too. I'd like to learn your way, because I want to know you and want to learn from you. Forgive me for making mistakes, but my intentions are good and my heart is pure." This is especially significant when we DO have the power and have no need to reach out with an open heart and mind.
And why, you say, should we do that? Delores and my student's mother didn't do that. Dan, who I discuss in the book, didn't do that. No, they didn't, and perhaps they should have. But I was more than happy to go the extra mile, and it worked out for the good.
But we do that for three reasons.
First, because we allow people to open themselves to us more easily and more fully when we ask them who they are and what they believe. Many people from other cultures, especially the elders, will never reach out, but will live their lives in silent isolation, trying not to intrude, not to bother, not to even be noticed. It is, after all, not simply an issue of culture, but of language. They know they cannot communicate well, and they don't feel valued. They will stay inside their world, living among us, but not being of us, unless we make the effort to come to that world, with patience, openness, and respect, and ask them, humbly, who they are, what they have to teach, and what the story is they have to tell.
Second, they have something unexpected and valuable to offer. There is not a culture in the world that does not do something, or express some human value, better than any other culture. If we find that something, our community is better and richer. And we will not find it unless we seek it and recognize it.
Third, it is only by knowing where a person comes from that we can meet them where they are. Let me tell you one last story that illustrates this.
One day when my stepson was younger, he had gone off to downtown Bemidji to ride his bike. When he returned several hours later, he was crying. "A kid stole my bike," he explained.
I immediately got him in the car and we drove to the place where the confrontation had taken place. Not far away, we saw several boys riding in circles and doing wheelies on dirt bikes. One of those bikes was my stepson's.
It was being ridden by a young Indian boy of about ten or twelve. "That's the kid who stole my bike," my stepson said.
"Are you sure?" I asked. He nodded his head.
So I got out of the car, went over to the boy. He saw me coming and grabbed onto the bike with an air of aggressive defiance.
"Is that your bike?" I asked.
He looked up at me and glowered. His face was hard as stone.
I tried again, less confrontationally, "You know, you can't just take another kid's bike. It's not right and it's going to get you into trouble." Again, a cold face and a hard stare.
I took a deep breath and looked the boy straight in the eye. He looked back, neither blinking nor flinching.
"All right," I said. "Who's your grandmother?"
A look of panic and surprise came over the boy's face. He quickly loosened his grip on the bike and pushed it toward me. He knew that if his grandmother found out he had taken another boy's bike he would be in a world of trouble far greater than any that could come from any police or any white man. And he knew that I knew, too. He gave me the bike, I made him apologize to my stepson, and the two of them shook hands. It was a real moment, and, as far as I know, it worked. My stepson never had trouble with that boy again, and the boy always waved at me whenever I saw him on the street.
Once again, it was a simple moment, but it tells a tale. Because I knew the boy's world, I knew it was his grandmother, and not his mother, who very likely was the disciplinarian in his life. And I was right. The mention of his grandmother was more than a threat, it was also a ratification. It told him I knew who he was and that he mattered. I had reached him, even in a moment of confrontation, because I had known the values he had come from, and that allowed me to talk to him from within the values he understood. It had told him that he was a person, and not just a crime
Now is not the time, and it is not my place, to tell you what the values are of the other cultures that are coming into your community. And even if I wanted to, I couldn't. That is for you to find out, and for you to explore and cultivate and integrate into your personal and community lives.
But they are there, and they are the key to bringing these newcomers into your community life. It requires effort, and it requires an act of faith. It requires you to believe that these newcomers have something special to offer your community in terms of the values they bring. But if you make that effort, you will find that hearts will open and true sharing will take place.
Now, let me be clear about this: I'm not talking about tolerance. Tolerance is an empty value. It means, in its crassest sense, putting up with a lot of different people who do things in different ways from you. I tolerate bad traffic; I tolerate noisy neighbors. But it doesn't mean I appreciate them or value them.
What I'm talking about is deeper than tolerance; I'm talking about learning. As I said, every culture has some value that it expresses with greater clarity than anyone else. There is something at their heart – whether it be the way they raise their children, the way they value their elders, the way they integrate music or art or spirituality or hospitality into their lives – that they do in a way that is unique to them and instructive and beneficial to the rest of us.
What we need to do is find that value that they express with unusual eloquence, and allow them to teach it to us. Now this does not happen of its own without effort.
You, as a community — we, as the dominant culture –– are in the same position as Delores. We can say to others who enter in a way that grates against us, "If you think you're going to come in here and be another one of those people who does things differently from the way we do them, you can just get on your pony and ride." Or we can reach out and say, "Welcome to our house. Please come in. Show us your heart, show us your ways. Show us what you love and show us what you dream."
It is not enough to have ethnic days or to bring people into the schools to show off the artifacts of their traditional culture. It is not enough to get them together and ask them how about the difficulties they are experiencing in fitting into our community.
It is only enough when we get them to show their hearts, to reveal who they are and what they value – to tell us what it means to them to be a good human being – and to find a way to let them teach us what they know about a worthy way of living.
This is the challenge you face. It requires listening, patience, willingness to make mistakes, and willingness not to judge even when you are feeling judgmental. Most of all, it requires going to their door, both physically and metaphorically, and showing them your heart until they decide to let you in. For these people want to be part of Eden Prairie's life. They, themselves, are standing at your community's door, uncertain, asking to come in. But if you want them to come in honestly, openly, in the full richness of their beings, you need first to go to their doors. You need to go with the willing hearts of learners. For no one feels as valued as when they feel they have something to teach. In your case, it will be doubly valued, because you are the people who have the power, and you don't HAVE to go to them. To grant them the power of their knowledge under these circumstances is to make a gesture that will never be forgotten and will be reap benefits a thousand fold.
So I ask you, as individuals and as a community, to grant that privilege to the new cultures that are beginning to change the face of your city. For the moment, and with open hearts, make them the teachers and you become the learners. Listen to their children. Ask them how they are being raised at home. Go to their houses, see how they relate to each other, how they laugh with each other, how they fight with each other, how they love each other. Go to their elders; ask them to mentor you in the ways of their culture. You do not have to accept everything they practice and believe. But you need to grant them the power to teach you. And if you do, you may find that pearl of great price that is unique to their culture, and which you can embrace in your community to make it a richer place for you and your children.
For we all, in the end, want the same thing — to love and be loved, to live without fear, and to see our children grow up healthy and whole and full of hope. Let the new people coming into your community tell you how they dream of doing this, and show you how the best of their people have done it in the past.
If you do, you will not only be opening your hearts to them, you will be allowing them to open their hearts to you. And when hearts are open, and ways are shared, you will truly be moving toward the vision that is contained in your community's name. You will be becoming a little Eden on the prairie.

We are officially one week from Halloween! Here are eight haunted homes to check out in Massachusetts.
Although you may not be able to believe it, the first day of fall is here! Below is a link to tips on finding foliage here in Massachusetts.


Who is the biggest enemy of an athlete? Somebody says it is his competitive opponent. Somebody says that's not true. The biggest enemy of him is himself. However, that's not the answer of this question. The biggest enemy of an athlete is his suffering caused by injuries.
Faster, higher, stronger. When Mr. Coubertin decided to make this sentence as the motto of Olympics more than one hundred years ago, he would not be able to think that many years latter, many athletes will happy to see healthier become one of the words of the motto. They might be a sports star, who enjoyed the flashlight not long ago, and they might be the Overlord in the field who enjoyed the respect and fear by his opponent. However,when the pain comes, their health situation might not as good as an ordinary being. Yet, because of the cruelty of the competition, many athletes have to keep training and overdraft their health in order to reach a higher level.
Maybe the pain they are suffering are different, but someone lucky win the pain and keep going, while someone has to live the rest of his life in the shadow of pain. So we have to avoid the injuries of the athletes as well as ensure the cure of the athletes. It is still a long way to go.
y: xintao, what's going on?
x: no big deal. something small happened in my competition.
y: something small? Don't you see you are limping?
x: I just strained the musle of my back and the injury of my knee became a little bit worse. That's all. nothing to worry about.
y: i remember that you sprained your ankle and neck few days ago. Have you recovered from that? Are you still going to participate in the competition in the next few weeks?
x: i have to. what's more, it is not serious injury. it is a piece of cake for sports guys.
y: i have to remind you that you are not 20-year old boy anymore. your achilles tendon and ligament won't as good as before.
x: would you stop being dramatic please? I am a young man and my health situation is great. some little injuries don't mean that my health situation is getting worse.
y: I have never said that, ok? I am just worried about your inconvenience of standing , sitting and lying.
x: I am fine... Ouch !
y: I don't like it. How about you?
x:I like it very much.
x: Because you can work out during your cycling.
y: But it is so many cars in the road and it is so dangerous.
x: I will wear my helmet and kneelet during the cycling. Yangyang, why don't you like cycling?

YY: What a nice day!
XT: Yes, let's go to fly kites!
YY: Okay, but I know little about it. Why don't you introduce it to me now?
XT: Kite is a traditional Chinese folk craft, originated from Warring States period. So it has at least two thousand years history.
YY: It really has a long history. What about the style of kite?
XT: Nowadays, there are a lot of types of kites, including soft wings, hard wings, dragon pattern etc. As time flies, many new innovative patterns come into existence. Among them, the small ones are smaller than hand and the big ones have a length of hundreds of meters, whose patterns and colors vary. Especially the huge dragon kite, which flies in the sky and creates a spectacle, makes everybody fond of it.
YY: There are so many different kites. If there is a museum about kites, it will really be a feast for my eyes.
XT: We do have a kite museum. Weifang of Shandong province is the city of kite that are known all over the world. The Kite Museum, owing the building of the biggest scale was named Weifang World Kites Museum. It collects precious kites, from ancient to modern all over the world. History culture, modern culture and international culture are presented clearly in the museum.
YY: I really want to feel the charm of kite's culture.
XT: You will have the chance. Weifang International Kite Festival, held annually from Apri.20th to 25th, is exactly the occasion to get in touch with the charm of kite's culture. Every year, a lot of kite experts, kite amateurs and visitors are attracted to Weifang to visit and have a contest.
TT: So, the charm of kite is unique! XT, what do you think are the advantages of flying kites?
XT: People usually fly kites when they go outing in spring on nice days. By flying kites, people can breathe the fresh air and promote the metabolism, which does good to health, and people can stretch their bodies and allay pain of cervical spine, which can also eliminate the eye's tiredness and promote eyesight.
YY: Hearing what you said, I want to have a try. Let's go to fly kites now!
XT: YY, I've heard that in ancient times people used to tie a pair of long sticks to their legs in order to gather the fruits from the trees. After that this became a type of performance activity - walking on stilts.
YY: That's one of the stories. Actually, people also have another legend about the stilts. It is said that during the Spring-Autumn and Warring States periods lived an outstanding diplomat called Yan Ying. Because he was short, he was mocked whenever he went on a diplomatic mission to the neighbouring states. Later, every time he went abroad on a business, he put on a pair of wooden legs to make his figure taller.
XT: That's realy like Yan Ying to come up with such a trick.
YY: There' s also another legend regarding walking on stilts. Long time ago, there was a town called Liang Jin. The people in and out the town were very friendly and every year for the Spring Festival they wished each other prosperous business and abundant harvest.
XT: What does this have to do with walking on stilts?
YY: Later, a corrupt official came to this town and saw this as an opportunity to get rich. He ordered that during the Spring Festival the town gates be closed and the bridge be lifted. Everyone who wanted in or out of the town had to pay 3 silver coins, but this couldn't stop the smart citizens. They put on stilts and went over the city walls, jumped over the moat and continued to celebrate and enjoy Spring Festival together.
XT: No wonder today walking on stilts is practiced during the Spring Festival.

Vodafone prepares mobile network for NZ's expected IoT surge
By Julia Gabel, Tue 4 Jul 2017
Vodafone is ready for New Zealand's Internet of Things (IoT) future.
The company will deploy Narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT) in early 2018 to prepare for an expected surge in IoT applications over the coming years, as outlined in the New Zealand IoT Alliance report.
The report estimates a $2.2 billion dollar IoT market opportunity for the nation's industries over the next 10 years.
Vodafone also notes that the report aligns with IDC predictions that New Zealand will be APAC's third most mature market in terms of IoT units per capita by 2020 – naming the agricultural sector as a key growth driver.
IDC also predicts approximately 30 billion connected things globally by 2020, according to Vodafone.
NB-IoT is a low power, wide area network (LPWAN) that uses dedicated bandwidth and licenced spectrum to deliver secure coverage across vast geographical areas.
It's designed to support a new wave of IoT devices – such as field and waterway sensors – that transmit small amounts of data but have a long, flexible life cycle, up to 15 years in some cases.
"IoT is approaching a tipping point and it's starting to transform the way we live our lives and run our businesses," says Vodafone Technology director, Tony Baird.
"There are many IoT networks available now but we think NB-IoT is a premium technology choice that is worth waiting for."
Vodafone tested NB-IoT on its network with its technology partner Nokia in September 2016. The next step is to pilot the technology with a select group of business customers in late 2017, before a network roll out in early 2018.
Transport technology services company EROAD will take part in the pilot programme.
EROAD CEO, Steven Newman, comments, "we are really excited about the potential of NB-IoT to take our business to the next level, both here in New Zealand and overseas."
"Because NB-IoT is built to a global standard, the products we develop can be optimised so they are compatible in multiple global markets. Kiwi tech companies are integral to New Zealand's export future, and we're really excited about what NB-IoT will mean for ours."

Last week, I attended a meetup about design thinking in Blk71. It was interesting. We were instructed to come up with a wallet for ourselves.
The first step was to brainstorm and draft a wallet for oneself on paper. I drew a credit card with a universal sim card chip on it. The card can be kept at the back of a phone. The rest payments will be handled in the phone apps. That was a pretty futuristic wallet.
The next step was to get interviewed by a neighbour who just drew his/her ideal wallet. I was interviewed by a Korean manager from JFDI.asia. The neighbor was supposed to make the wallet for me. He first let me share my ideas and concerns. Then he asked me to take out my current wallet and categorize the necessary items. It turned out that there are quite a lot of necessary items in my wallet and they definitely cannot fit into one single card. Some items like coins and keys also need extra spaces to squeeze into a wallet.

Frederikshøj Windowmaster løbet 2021 var et dansk DCU licensløb. Det 122 km lange linjeløb blev kørt den 16. maj 2021 med start og mål i Elev nordvest for Aarhus. Løbet blev arrangeret af Frederikshøj Cycling Club, og var det tiende eliteløb for herre A-klassen i den danske landevejssæson 2021.

Der skulle efter planen køres ti omgange på en 12,2 km lang rundstrækning med start og mål ved Elev Skole på Høvej i Elev. Herfra blev der kørt mod vest af Vennemindevej, inden rytterne i Trige Skov drejede mod nord. Her gik det via Pannerupvej og Erbækvej til Thomasminde, hvor der blev kørt mod øst ad Hæstvej i godt to kilometer, indtil der ved Todbjerg blev kørt mod syd og tilbage til Elev.

På grund af gentagne brud på retningslinjerne af rytterne, afbrød DCU's kommissær løbet efter fem omgange.

Advertisers have a number of challenges that they need to overcome in order to reach their audience and see a return on investment. Advertisers need to think like millennials. Millennials are no longer reacting to banner ads, in fact, most consumers have shifted their behaviours in recent years. One of the problems is that media consumption has changed. Consumers aren't reading as many magazines, they don't pay as much attention to billboards and they don't really watch adverts anymore. Millennials do consumer media but in new ways. Here are some of the challenges that mean advertisers need to put on their creative hats in order to find workable solutions.
Ad blockers stop users from seeing ads as they browse online. When they visit a website they will not see the affiliate links, banner ads or any other forms of advertisements either. According to Statista, 198 million users were using Ad blockers in 2015 and the number keeps increasing.
Penguin 4.0 now means the algorithm no runs in real time. Google is constantly checking for spammy websites and pushing them down and out of the search engine results pages. They don't want rubbish backlinks being put in front of their user's eyes anymore. Google wants to provide their users with the best possible content as quickly as possible.
Modern day consumers are enjoying live streaming and live TV. They can skip ads if they want to and they're using social media and word of mouth to help them make buying decisions. The Internet also provides them with fast and easy tools to research into products and services to help them make the best buying decisions.
One of the best ways to overcome these problems is by building relationships with bloggers, vloggers and other influencers using modern forms of media. They are able to work with you to reach out to their loyal followers. They have an emotional influence and have the skills to create incredible content for you. This is a fantastic way of advertising your brand and connecting with consumers on new levels. As a brand, you cannot expect to receive free advertising via influencers. You'll need to assign some of your marketing budgets and introduce outreach into your digital marketing strategy. It's a new world out there but it still presents multiple opportunities for advertisers who are willing to move with the times.
Contact us and ask about our digital marketing services. We'll help to create the perfect strategy for your business to reach your target audience.


Chelsea's pursuit of Stefan de Vrij has been given a boost with the Lazio defender rejecting the Italian club's latest contract offer.
The 25-year-old centre-back has 14 months left on his current deal, but according to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Dutch international is still yet to agree terms and commit to the club.
This has opened the door for Chelsea and boss Antonio Conte, who is looking to bring in reinforcements in the summer to bolster his squad.
However, Inter are also keeping tabs with manager Stefano Pioli a long-time admirer of the defender, having worked with him during his 18-month spell in charge at Lazio.
The Italian giants have slapped a £22million price-tag on the Serie A star, although the price could rise.
Alongside De Vrij, Chelsea are also thought to be looking at Roma centre-back Kostas Manolas and will decide between the pair during the summer window.

Distinguishing Characteristics: Hispanic male. Brown hair, brown eyes. Victor has a scar on his right cheek and a scar above his right eyebrow. Clothing/Jewelry Description: A gray and white flannel shirt and blue jeans.
Victor was last seen in Las Cruces, New Mexico on April 8, 1986. He was involved in gang activity at the time of his disappearance and was on juvenile probation. On the day of his disappearance, his family took him to see his probation officer on Solano Drive, south of Apodaca Park. Afterwards, Victor asked his mother to drop him off at a friend's home at Dona Ana Apartments. Victor's mother expected him to return to their own residence in the 1400 block of north Tornillo Street that evening, but he never did. When questioned by police, Victor's friend stated the two of them had gone to Apodaca Park off Madrid Avenue and Victor went to the toilets at approximately 2:30 p.m. and didn't come back. He has never been heard from again.
Victor was having disagreements with rival gang members at the time of his disappearance. After he vanished, unidentified individuals called his family to say he had been murdered. His mother believes his friends knew more about his disappearance than they disclosed. Victor had three close friends in 1986 and only one is still alive. One of his friends committed suicide after his disappearance, another was murdered and the third moved away.
Victor formerly attended Sierra Middle School. Foul play is suspected in his disappearance, but little evidence is available in his case. His family still lives in the area and still hope for resolution in his disappearance.

Roadside bombing targets Taliban, kills Afghan civilians

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A roadside bombing targeting a Taliban vehicle in eastern Afghanistan killed at least two civilians Saturday, including a child, Taliban and health officials said. Four others were wounded.
Two bombs detonated as a Taliban vehicle was passing by, killing one child, district police chief Ismatullah Mubariz said, adding that no Taliban fighters were harmed.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack but the Islamic State group is active in eastern Nangarhar province, where it has launched frequent attacks targeting the Taliban.
A local hospital official said two bodies and four wounded civilians were transferred to the hospital after the attack. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media.
Recently, IS has shown signs of expansion in Afghanistan, with attacks in the north, the south and the capital of Kabul. The group's ability to launch frequent attacks has cast doubt over the Taliban's ability to maintain security and stability in the embattled country.
Last week, IS claimed responsibility for a deadly suicide bombing on a Shiite mosque in southern Afghanistan that killed 47 people and wounded scores more. It was the deadliest since the dramatic U.S. exit from the country, which allowed the Taliban to seize control of the Afghan capital.
Akhgar reported from Islamabad.

Over the last few weeks and months, VISA, the credit card company, has been making plans to turn the iPhone into a credit card. By using just an iPhone, users could pay for their transactions at retailers without ever having to touch their VISA card.
Two weeks ago, VISA announced that they had partners with DeviceFidelity, a company that has assisted VISA in building an iPhone case to allow the iPhone to act like a credit card and make payments.
In 2009, DeviceFidelity inserted a near-field communications chip into a microSD card to enable credit card transactions. Once the microSD was put into a mobile device, the device became a contactless credit card. The issue at the time was that the iPhone did not, and still does not, support microSD. So they created a case instead.
The iPhone, together with the case called "In2Pay", would be used at any retailer that has the contactless VISA payment terminal. Users would simply move their iPhone close to the terminal and pay for the transaction.
The case looks like a battery pack case that connects the iPhone into the dock connector and covers the iPhone from back to side, leaving the screen exposed. The dock connector provides the SD card interface and the battery power to enable the credit card features.
Once the case is on, users insert the microSD card, download the payment app from the App Store and the iPhone effectively becomes a credit card.
At this time, Canada is not a supported country but once the technology gains a bit more ground, you can be sure that VISA will be moving this not only into Canada, but worldwide.

Feeling the pressure
Don MarkusThe Baltimore Sun
Jarod Bryant has been on the field for Navy significantly more than Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada this season, starting three games and playing more than a half in two others, mostly because of a recurring hamstring injury to his fellow senior quarterback.
Bryant will make his fourth start overall and third straight when the 4-2 Midshipmen take a three-game winning streak into Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium today against No. 23 Pittsburgh (4-1).
Navy's recent stretch that includes road wins over then-No. 16 Wake Forest and Air Force has been fueled by a suddenly respectable defense, despite the struggles Bryant has had running the triple option.
"The quarterback always takes the brunt of the stuff," said first-year head coach Ken Niumatalolo, a former quarterback. "When you look at the plays and at the film, there are other guys besides Jarod who are messing up, but everyone sees the guy with the ball."
Bryant rushed for 101 yards on 24 carries and a touchdown in a 33-27 victory two weeks ago over Air Force, but he also fumbled three times, losing one. He became so tentative in running the triple option that Niumatalolo abandoned it in the second half.
Since Niumatalolo is expecting the same kind of shootout the teams played last season in Pittsburgh - the Midshipmen won, 48-45, in double overtime - Bryant and the offense need to be sharp in executing against the Panthers. Bryant has played well in spurts but has fumbled seven times, losing three.
"I've got to play a complete game," Bryant said. "I think you've got to put blinders on the bad things. A quarterback is going to make mistakes, but you can't let the guys around you see that you're frustrated."
For Bryant, as for others who have run Navy's triple option, it is more about reading the defense and then reacting than simply remembering what plays to call.
"Every play you've got to be on cue as far as your mind," Bryant said. "There are so many little things that you've got to see. It's a mental game. You've just got to go do it."
There are other forces at work as well with Bryant.
"Being team captain, he puts a little too much pressure on himself," said Ivin Jasper, Navy's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. "I think he tries to do a little more than he needs to do. He needs to do his job and not worry about anybody else. I just want him to get back to where he's having fun."
Said Bryant: "I think I have put too much pressure on myself at times. I think that is the way I am just naturally. I've got great guys playing around me. All I've got to do is just spread it around and run our offense."
Jasper said he doesn't think Bryant is intimidated by playing in big games, considering his background. Bryant played at acclaimed Hoover High outside Birmingham, Ala., where he was named the state's "Mr. Football" as a senior, the season before ESPN's cameras followed the team for its Two-A-Days reality show.
"It was a big deal; there was a lot of pressure to win," Bryant said of his high school experience. "The TV [show] wasn't 100 percent accurate, but it was pretty crazy. It was pretty intense."
A passing quarterback in high school who was invited to walk on at Auburn, Bryant remembered his first reaction to watching Navy's triple option.
"My jaw dropped," he recalled. "Watching them come off the ball, watching our linemen blocking safeties. You don't see that. It's pretty amazing."
Bryant knows that's still possible, given the talent Navy has in fullback Eric Kettani, slotback Shun White and wide receiver Tyree Barnes, considered among the best to have played their positions for the Midshipmen.
"We played pretty well against Wake, we really did," said Bryant, whose short touchdown run in that game gave the Midshipmen a 24-10 lead in the fourth quarter. "[Against Air Force] we played hard, but we didn't execute. One game when we put it all together, it will be special when it happens."

Matchup: No. 23 Pittsburgh (4-1)

Line: Pittsburgh by 2 1/2
Series: Pittsburgh leads 20-13-3.
Last meeting: Navy won, 48-45, in double overtime Oct. 10, 2007, in Pittsburgh
Navy offense vs. Pittsburgh defense: The Panthers gave up only 116 yards on 35 carries in their Oct. 2 upset of then-No. 10 South Florida, but the triple option gave Pittsburgh fits a year ago, gaining 497 yards, including 288 overall from QB Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada. Slotback Shun White is due for a big game after struggling the past two, but he will have to get pitches in the right places from QB Jarod Bryant, who will start again in place of the injured Kaheaku-Enhada. The Panthers have blocked two field goals, an extra-point try and a punt. LB Scott McKillop has had 11 games with at least 10 tackles, including one with 14 against Navy last year.
Navy defense vs. Pittsburgh offense: The Midshipmen have slowed their past two opponents and have made big plays in the past three games, but the Panthers present a different problem; sophomore TB LeSean McCoy. McCoy, who rushed for 165 yards and three touchdowns against Navy last season, seems to be hitting his stride, picking up 291 yards in Pittsburgh's past two games. S Wyatt Middleton, who had 12 tackles against the Panthers last season, will likely have to come up big again. The Midshipmen need to keep the Panthers out of the red zone, where they are 17-for-17 in conversions, including 12 touchdowns.

For WHALES AND LEECHES, the band worked with producer Chris Funk (Decemberists) and mixer Vance Powell (White Stripes, Raconteurs, Kings of Leon). This same team worked on the group's last album Murder the Mountains (April 2011) which sold over 50,000 albums under the radar and allowed the band to tour with sold out shows and rabid fans for over two years. WHALES AND LEECHES sees RED FANG further maturing into top notch songwriters and musicians. The new album is poised for a solid debut in October. With the help of guests Mike Scheidt (Yob) and Pall Jenkins (The Black Heart Procession), WHALES AND LEECHES propels RED FANG into the upper stratosphere of hard rock and metal elite.

About RED FANG:
Formed in 2005, RED FANG—Bryan Giles (Guitar/Vocals), Aaron Beam (Bass/Vocals), David Sullivan (Guitar), John Sherman (Drums)–has two albums under their belt: their 2009 self-titled debut on Sargent House and 2011's Murder the Mountains on Relapse Records. Listen to both of the above albums streaming on www.redfang.bandcamp.com. RED FANG quickly became known for their series of hilarious videos directed by Whitey McConnaughy (Band Of Horses, Flogging Molly, Turbonegro). Each clip was picked up by Reddit and went viral, garnering over 1 million+ views. Watch "Wires": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQPfQvLIseA and "Hank Is Dead": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgV7hnjoyt0. The band spent the past few years touring the world and wining over audiences at clubs and festivals like All Tomorrow's Parties, Rock on the Range, Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival and Metallica's Orion Music & More Fest. After more high-profile tours with Mastodon, Dillinger Escape Plan, Helmet, Saint Vitus and more, the band expanded their global footprint with a European trek and festival appearances across the continent. 2013 promises to be the biggest year for RED FANG yet, with their intense live performances, unique brand of humor, catchy songwriting and independent attitude—they show no signs of slowing down.

Karl Gustav Adolf von Harnack, född 7 maj 1851 i Dorpat, död 10 juni 1930 i Heidelberg, var en tysk evangelisk teolog och historiker, son till Theodosius Harnack.

Biografi
von Harnack var född i nuvarande Tartu där hans far höll en professur i pastoral teologi. Han studerade vid det lokala universitet 1869–1872 och sedan vid universitetet i Leipzig, där han tog sin examen och strax efteråt, 1874, började föreläsa som Privatdozent.

Dessa föreläsningar, som behandlade sådana ämnen som gnosticismen och Uppenbarelseboken, väckte stor uppmärksamhet, och 1876 utsågs han till professor extraordinarius. Samma år började han publiceringen, tillsammans med Oscar Leopold von Gebhardt och Theodor Zahn, av en upplaga av verk av de apostoliska fäderna, Patrum apostolicorum opera – en mindre upplaga som kom ut 1877.

von Harnack var professor i kyrkohistoria i bl. a. Marburg 1886–1888 och därefter i Berlin. Hans rika produktion är koncentrerad till urkristendomen och gamla kyrkan.

Påverkad av Albrecht Ritschl engagerade sig von Harnack för en konsekvent historisk syn på kristendomen. I dogmbildningen såg han ett främmandegörande av Jesu budskap genom inflytande från hellenistisk spekulation.

I sina berömda föreläsningar om Kristendomens väsen (1900) avdogmatiserade von Harnack den kristna traditionen till förmån för den etiska kärnan i Jesu budskap, nämligen den aktiva tron på "människosjälens oändliga värde".

Diskussionen kring von Harnacks tes pågick under åtskilliga decennier. Den är numera vetenskapligt övergiven men präglar många populärframställningar.

von Harnack blev 1890 medlen av tyska Vetenskapsakademin och invaldes som ledamot av Kungliga Vetenskapsakademien 1908.
