New Delhi: Pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is all set to make a return to the national set-up as he has been included in both the T20I and ODI squads for Sri Lanka and Australia respectively.
While speculation was rife that he might have to wait till the Australia series for a comeback, the national selectors have decided to bring him in for the Lanka series.
"Jasprit Bumrah is back in both the teams for Sri Lanka and Australia and we have rested Rohit Sharma and Mohammed Shami for the Sri Lanka T20s. Shikhar Dhawan also comes back and Sanju Samson will be the back-up opener in T20s," chairman of selectors MSK Prasad told reporters here.
Bumrah has been out of action post India's tour of West Indies in July-August due to a stress fracture on his back.
However, he trained with the Men in Blue at the nets during their practice session ahead of the second ODI of the recently-concluded three match series against the West Indies at the ACA-VDCA stadium. The trainer and physio gave him the green signal and he was given the go-ahead to join the team.
As reported by IANS, the Indian team management had called Bumrah to Vizag to assess the pacer's recovery after undergoing rehabilitation for the stress fracture. While his body was on auto-heal mode, he still went to the UK for consultation as the BCCI didn't want to take any chance with the pacer's back.
India play a full series against New Zealand after the T20I series against Sri Lanka and the ODI series against Australia and Bumrah is a must for that series.
Meanwhile, star opener Rohit Sharma and Mohammad Shami have been rested for the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka. The national selectors also recalled opener Shikhar Dhawan in both the squads.
"Against Australia, we have all three openers available --Shikhar, Rohit and KL Rahul," Prasad said.
Dhawan hurt his knee during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy recently and was ruled out of both the T20I and ODI squads that played against the West Indies.
Deepak Chahar, meanwhile, has aggravated his back injury and will be out till the start of next year's IPL, said Prasad.
On Hardik Pandya, Prasad said the all-rounder could only be available in the second half of the New Zealand tour.
"(As for) Hardik, we will have a look at him in the third week of January," Prasad said.
Prasad did not want to comment on Mahendra Singh Dhoni's availability.
"I can't comment on that. Mahi has to first play to be available for selection," said Prasad.
With Chahar out till April and Bhuvneshwar Kumar nursing a sports hernia, India would be shorn of bowling options but Prasad said there is no cause of concern as they have backup.
"Deepak was doing well as he played the Vijay Hazare Trophy and suddenly he aggravated his back in the second ODI in Visakhapatnam.
"We have created enough back up and we have a good talent pool of fast bowlers. We also have Khaleel (Ahmed), who is playing Ranji Trophy and Navdeep (Saini) will replace Shami in T20s," he said.
India will be playing three T20Is against Sri Lanka on January 5, 7 and 10 while the ODI series against Australia will be played from January 14 to 19.
India Squad (T20Is against Sri Lanka):
Virat Kohli (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Navdeep Saini, Shardul Thakur, Manish Pandey, Washington Sundar, Sanju Samson.
India Squad (ODI vs Australia):
Virat Kohli (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Rishabh Pant (wk), Kedar Jadhav, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Navdeep Saini, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah.

Islamabad: America's top military official arrived here today for consultations with Pakistan's civil and military leadership in the wake of tension with India following the terror attacks in Mumbai.
Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, is expected to meet President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, Army Chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani and Gen Tariq Majid, chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, during his two-day visit.
Mullen is expected to discuss the regional security situation, especially the tensions between India and Pakistan, during his meetings, diplomatic sources said.
The war on terror, the situation along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border and Pakistan's opposition to US missile attacks in its tribal areas are also likely to figure in the parleys, the sources said.
The US has stepped up diplomatic efforts to ease regional tensions following the attacks in Mumbai that killed nearly 200 people. US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who is in India today, is expected to arrive in Pakistan tomorrow.
India has blamed Pakistan-based elements, including the banned Lashker-e-Taiba terror group, for carrying out the attacks and asked Pakistani authorities to act against them.
President Zardari has denied Pakistan's involvement in the attacks and called on India to furnish evidence to substantiate its accusations.
The US is concerned about the impact of tensions on the war on terror as Pakistan has threatened to divert troops from the Afghan border to the frontier with India in the event of hostilities.
Pakistan is a key supply route for US troops in Afghanistan. American officials also fear that the diversion of troops from the Afghan border could fuel cross-border raids by the Pakistani Taliban.


Meanwhile, Mayor says he was out of town and never approved statement attributed to "Mayor & Council"
For the second time in a week — and for exactly the same reasons — provincial government officials have publicly contradicted statements emanating from Nanaimo city hall about the city's controversial new committees.
The Province's latest action came after a statement posted on the city's website (PDF Update: The city removed the statement from it's website after this story was published) said the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development "did not find fault" with the city's committees process.
The implication was that the Ministry supported plans by the council majority led by Councillor Bill Bestwick to cement their control over all city functions by replacing 11 committees with 6 new ones, while dissolving a separate environmental committee.
The new committees were plunged into legal uncertainty when Mayor Bill McKay voted against them. Prominent committee members have also strongly criticized the new structure.
The Ministry's latest statement comes just six days after News Nanaimo published an unusual public statement from a senior provincial official correcting similar statements by the city's top official, Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Tracy Samra.
That article revealed that Inspector of Municipalities Tara Faganello had written to correct the city's CAO on statements she made implying that the ministry and the inspector had given the committees their blessing. Ms. Samra has not publicly addressed the letter.
Questions to all council members about how they and Ms. Samra could make the same error twice, and why they did not seek Ministry input on the council statement prior to publication were not answered by publication time.
The latest gaffe leaves at least three councillors with red faces, since they earlier indicated they had no problem with the statement and believed it was accurate.
In a statement shared on Facebook, councillor Bestwick said he saw "no reason not to accept the information." Meanwhile, Councillors Wendy Pratt and Ian Thorpe both said they believed the information was accurate and had "no objection" to it being posted.
And in a further twist, Mayor McKay told News Nanaimo he was out of town and never approved the statement published on the city's website on Thursday, which claimed to come from "Mayor & Council." He was on the West coast with spotty email access, he said.
That put the process council used to approve the statement in the spotlight and raised questions about why the statement purported to come from "Mayor & Council" if the Mayor had not expressly approved it.
News Nanaimo asked all council members if they thought it was misleading to the public to sign the statement "Mayor & Council" and to include statements that appeared to speak on the mayor's behalf when he had not explicitly approved the statement. No one answered.
City officials have often used the phrase "Mayor and Council" to mean council as a whole. However, it is not legally correct terminology since the Community Charter, a Provincial law that gives councils authority, only recognizes "councils" as governing bodies. The mayor and councillors are the members of council.
According to an email from Ms. Samra posted on Facebook by local businessman Don Bonner, a statement was "drafted" by the city's outside lawyers and then circulated to council members.
One councillor recommended a press release and "no council members objected" so it was published on the city website, said Ms. Samra, adding that the city did not have a policy requiring a council motion or sign off for council statements.
Questions about how city staff knew that all council members actually received and opened the email about the press release prior to it being posted were not answered by publication time.
However, sources said there were many emails — one called it "a blitz" while another called it a "bombardment" — but none referred to councillors having to express objections if they opposed releasing a statement.
A senior consultant in municipal governance said the city's process was improper.
"You cannot have lawyers, consultants and communications people speaking for the council without their approval — or even their knowledge — with no one at all accountable because there is no policy against it," he said.
Meanwhile, Ms. Samra and the Bestwick-led majority continue to skirt the central question in the committees controversy.
This week's statement addressed much that has never been in question, but said nothing about how the city's committees are legal if they are standing committees but don't have the mayor's support.
The Community Charter gives mayors sole authority to create standing committees, which are committees with an ongoing function. A majority of council can only create a select committee "to consider or inquire into any matter and to report its findings and opinion to the council" after which it ceases to exist, according to municipal law experts.
While Ms. Samra has repeatedly said the city is doing nothing different than was done with past committees, she conveniently ignores the fact that past committees were empowered by the mayor's vote in favor.
On Monday night, Ms. Samra told a council meeting that the city was moving ahead with its controversial plans. This may leave the committees vulnerable to review by a judge as senior lawyers believe the law is weighed heavily against Ms. Samra and Councillor Bestwick's majority group.
Meanwhile, several leading committee members are unhappy with the new committee structure. The scrapping of the environmental committee has drawn the greatest criticism as higher levels of government are making climate action a priority.

Framing an Execution: The Media and Mumia Abu-Jamal
Code: MEFW-Framex
This film provides an important case study for students of journalism and communication. The case of Mumia Abu-Jamal, a journalist on Pennsylvania's death row in connection with the death of a police officer, had become by the late 1990s a global symbol of inequities in the U.S. judicial system. The mainstream media could no longer ignore it, but how would they cover such a hotly disputed case and the questions of judicial bias that it raises?
ABC, on its newsmagazine show "20/20," set the journalistic tone for how to cover this controversial story in a special report, "Hollywood's Unlikely Hero." While characterizing the defense as "passionate" and uninformed, ABC star reporter Sam Donaldson claimed to provide the "facts" based on ABC's "four-month investigation of the case."
Framing an Execution examines how Donaldson's framing of the case stands up to the available facts and how it measures up to basic journalistic standards of fairness, balance, and accuracy. This film offers some answers, but also raises disturbing questions about media and judicial ethics.
Narrated by actor Danny Glover, the program also features actor Mike Farrell, Professor Angela Davis, FAIR Program Director Janine Jackson, veteran journalist Tom Gardner, Attorney Leonard Weinglass, and Professor John Bracey. (Sam Donaldson did not respond to the invitation to appear.)

Explicitly excluded from this regulation are all offers that permit time limited access to content (rental/loan options).
If the Licensor terminates the contract for reasons of continuous violation of the terms of the License (e.g. the systematic download or the unauthorized transfer of content), the Licensee's rights to the purchased content as described in 6.4 will be void.

7. Miscellaneous provisions, Settlement of Disputes
In order to be able to perform the contractual agreement, it is necessary for the Licensor to carry out electronic processing of the data of the Licensee. The use of the data by the Licensee and/or by the authorised users will be statistically recorded and will also be respectively available to the Licensee. Data protection provisions will be observed in the full scope.
According to the current state of technology, so-called cookies are necessary for the use of the online-plattform. Should the browser or network settings of the Licensee or of the authorised users preclude cookies, it is possible that registration and/or use is made more complicated or is not possible at all. This does not constitute a ground for complaint.
The online-plattform contains links to information offers of third parties. The Licensor is not responsible for the offers of third parties and may not be made liable for their contents or technical features.
Should individual provisions of these Terms and Conditions be void or ineffective, either in whole or in part, or contain any gaps, the rest of the provisions shall retain their validity.

Connecting North Carolina's news & information community
"What we have now is an opportunity for people to create their own media diet based upon all the digital entities that exist in specialized ways. … Newspapers can no longer be all things to all people."
-Robert Feder, media columnist for the Daily Herald in Chicago
Chicago is a real microcosm of our industry's crisis right now, a city where the long-running largest media players (the Tribune Publishing Co., especially) are being gutted while digital start-ups and others are riding a wave of new funding sources and producing some of the most-innovative journalism out there (Hearken and City Bureau, among others). So there was some great discussion (from folks like Feder) at a 300-person town hall last week, including especially the potential power in setting up pool funding among foundations looking to support journalism. See more here from Mark Jacob for the Medill Local News Initiative at Northwestern University.
Before I get into this week's newsletter, a request: please email or tweet at me me if you or any English-language news service you follow is doing reporting in Spanish. I'm going to spotlight next week how many local news outlets are producing reports in Spanish (or providing translation), on their own and via partnerships. And I'd like to know more about who's doing it well and who's most effectively overcoming the challenges of writing in multiple languages.
OK, hope everyone is staying healthy out there. And thanks for reading!
-Ryan
Email newsletters a booming business
Newsletters are an increasingly common and powerful way to reach people, both because they directly reach people where they are every day (even the SnapChat generation) and because they're relatively low cost. And unlike social media and other third-party platforms, you control everything about the messaging and the audiences. What's more: there's a strong correlation between newsletter habit and propensity to subscribe. In short: they're an integral tool in the ultimate game of habit-forming ...
So newsletters are ever-important both for traditional and established media companies as well as for new start-ups, many of which are forming as newsletter-only news products. The Morning Brew and the Daily Skimm are among the most famous examples of these startups, with the Morning Brew my favorite case study for how to grow a newsletter-centric business: using compelling referral tools and strong content, they have grown to 1.5 million subscribers in 5 years and to … $13 million in revenue in 2019. See an interactive case study here.
Just in North Carolina, there are several email-centric startups of note. Take 6AM City, for example: the newsletter-centered company out of Greenville, S.C., just last week celebrated cruising past 15,000 email subscribers in four months with their RAL Today newsletter (they also have an Asheville Today newsletter). Lynsey Gilpin's environment-focused Southerly newsletter (see more below in "good reads") is growing rapidly as only a newsletter, this year announcing that they would hire staffed reporters for the first time.
This week, I'm going to briefly spotlight two other newsletter-centered news organizations that are growing rapidly in our state and finding new and innovative ways to serve their readers and to pursue the D word of diversification: (1) Tony Mecia's Charlotte Ledger newsletter and (2) Sarah Day Owen Wiskirchen's Raleigh Convergence newsletter. Both made big announcements recently and reflect the tremendous potential of newsletter-centric news organizations.
Part 1: The Charlotte Ledger
Former Charlotte Observer reporter Tony Mecia started the Charlotte Ledger almost a year ago (last March) as a newsletter-centric experiment to answer a question: How much interest do people in the Charlotte region have in local, independent business news?
More than 3,300 have signed up for the MWF newsletter that just last week announced a new Saturday wrap-up edition that aggregates content from journalists around the Charlotte area. I emailed Mecia to ask about the Saturday roundup email (one of my favorite low-cost ways to expand your newsletter toolkit) and he shared with me even more exciting news: starting March 11, The Ledger will begin offering a paid-only version of the newsletter (he writes a lot more about his long-term vision here).
There are a bunch of tiers of offerings, with different perks, but one I like? Paying subscribers will receive a special Ledger email address they may use to send comments and questions that will receive a priority response. Mecia says to "think of it like the Bat Phone at Wayne Manor, or an I-77 toll lane (but one that is ready to go when it is supposed to be)."
And importantly: Mecia's plan is to still offer two newsletters a week for free.
Why this approach? Mecia said "when you receive information from other media that costs you nothing, you are often paying in some other form … usually by being marketed to relentlessly. Media companies have become quite crafty in devising ways to make money from your eyeballs." With the Ledger, he wants to make a more "straightforward offer: If you pay for The Ledger, you are our customer, and our incentive is to deliver for you."
Mecia told me that to succeed with subscriptions, "I need to focus on the experience for readers.
"I'm trying to create a product in these e-newsletters that people will want to read because it is newsy, insightful, interesting, punchy and relevant to them. I don't want them to feel that they are being assaulted by marketing pitches, or that advertising influences editorial coverage. It's about establishing a relationship with readers that is based on honesty, transparency and trust."
On the advantages and disadvantages to running an email-centered business model, Mecia said: there's both. "On the downside, people are used to finding news by clicking somewhere. Some are reluctant to provide an email address. Spam filters can be an issue. Analytics are not as robust as a website's, and it is tougher to get the high readership numbers you need to impress potential advertisers.
"However, there is a lot of upside. Most importantly, email establishes a direct connection with your reader. You don't depend on Google, Facebook, Twitter or other unreliable partners whose algorithms are a mystery. You don't worry about playing games with SEO. For the most part, tech companies do not stand in the way between you and your reader."
Ultimately, Mecia told me the subscription offering and the Saturday wrap-up email are part of his commitment to ensuring that Charlotte-area residents get the information they need as they all "worry about the decline of local news."
Mecia told me more specifically about the Saturday email: One way to better serve readers is "to acknowledge that you are not the only source of information in town. ... Readers know that. They know that there is good work being done all over Charlotte. As the number of journalists in cities such as Charlotte dwindles, why not assemble all of it in one place? The traditional view would be not to acknowledge that others exist, and to drive them exclusively to your own work. I'd rather acknowledge the reality and help my readers find that good and important work, wherever it is, and I think they will appreciate that and value The Ledger because of it."
Part 2: Raleigh Convergence
The Raleigh Convergence is a 3x/week email newsletter and publication of Sarah Day Owen Wiskirchen's Minerva Media Co. She moved to Raleigh last year and started the newsletter in April, after stints at the USA Today among other newspapers. In the last year, she has grown the newsletter from friends and family to more than 550 subscribers. And that is with basically no paid promotion and with Wiskirchen spending considerable amounts of time building relationships in a new city as a new business owner.
Excitingly, late last month she announced that she had received a Community Network grant from the Facebook Journalism Project and The Lenfest Institute for Journalism to help launch a "New Neighbor" project that should help her grow her reach, and impact, even more. With the project, Raleigh Convergence aims to help especially new residents (62 new neighbors move into Wake County every day) learn more about their new home, get connected to other neighbors and become engaged new residents.
This New Neighbor project will fund four ambassadors to create content in Southeast Raleigh, Knightdale and Cary, in addition to a general Raleigh audience. The ambassadors will report information via the newsletter, will moderate community-specific Facebook groups and will help to host quarterly in-person events to better cover and make connections within the four communities.
Later this week, in her newsletter, Wiskirchen will announce the four community ambassadors she has tapped. The first New Neighbor events are going to be in late April/early May. In her announcement of the grant, Wiskirchen said she didn't think such a project was even possible for Raleigh Convergence until further down the road given where her company was in its gestation.
So what else did she tell me about the program and her growing business?
1) How are you evaluating success for the New Neighbor project? What does success look like at the end of this project?
The measurable success for this will be 500 more email newsletter subscribers and a new revenue stream.
Qualitatively, I want to see meaningful growth in people's understanding of their communities, measuring impact from survey results.
More difficult to measure but important philosophically is building community and equitable information. In Southeast Raleigh, for example, I want to see neighbors moving to gentrifying areas become knowledgeable on historical context and better connect with existing neighbors.
2) How did you come up with the neighborhoods you are focusing on?
I looked for interesting elements and fast growing places. Cary is growing even faster than Raleigh and it's going to transform in East and Downtown Cary. Knightdale is the fastest-growing municipality in Wake County. A lot of growth is happening east of Raleigh as people get priced out of the Raleigh market, especially for developments like new builds. Southeast Raleigh is seeing a lot of displacement, and there's a disconnect between existing neighbors (who are mostly Black people) and new neighbors moving in (who are largely white people). There's opportunities there to serve not only new neighbors but existing communities by providing history, context and trying to facilitate connections.
3) Events are a notoriously low-margin business and one that is tough to balance for a lot of publishers with ... everything else, so how are you pursuing the events piece of this and are they more about engagement/participation or revenue? How are you planning for events at Raleigh Convergence generally?
2020 is really the year of events for Raleigh Convergence. I recently launched a new live storytelling series, Converging Stories, with Transfer Company. (See more here.)
I also launched Making Raleigh, an event series that highlights the unique places, products and ideas in Raleigh. That first event will be on local cocktails at Watts & Ward on March 5. (See more here.)
I wouldn't say it's tough to balance events, I would say it's tough to balance things that aren't priorities, but events are a priority for me for growth.
I treat it like any other piece of content or project. I create timelines. I create promotional schedules. Events do help with the revenue piece, because I've found partners who are willing to work with me on taking home most of the event ticket price, but it's also about growing Raleigh Convergence in areas that are on-mission and on-brand.
For both of those event series, I pulled a set of values from the overall Raleigh Convergence values. That guides which details are a yes or a no. For example, a national brand was pitched as a partner for a Making Raleigh event, but it was inconsistent with the values of that series, so it was an easy no.
Like these other series, The New Neighbor Project meetup events are right in line with what I'm trying to do -- build connections between new and existing neighbors. People form more lasting connections when they see other people in person and can talk to them face to face. They're also more likely to feel a connection to Raleigh Convergence if we're helping connect them with their new hometown.
4) How would you describe your business today vs. when you started? How would you describe where you are and the path ahead for you generally?
How people have engaged with the newsletter has been surprising to me, specifically in how it's shared. Last week's campaigns alone had about 190 views as a link, for example. I can tell it's being forwarded a lot, but that's more challenging to track.
But in the last 10 months, it's grown from the few people I knew in town to about 550 subscribers. How people are engaging with the newsletter is working better than ever. Open rates for the last month averaged 46%, which is an increase even while growing.
In 2020 so far, RaleighConvergence.com reached nearly 1,000 users and now has 1,440 Instagram followers.
Raleigh Convergence's first live storytelling event at Transfer Company sold out with 60 people on a Monday night, and there are three more Converging Stories events planned.
The New Neighbor Project will also help [with our] audience growth, through the ambassadors' networks, the corresponding events and the paid promotion in the budget.
Raleigh Convergence is poised for big growth this year. I have more things in the works like a membership program and other projects that aren't ready to announce just yet.
Philosophically, I want to continue to grow while being focused and intentional on the values I think are important for the future of local journalism. It's a long game.
Want more on newsletters as a practice?
Email me anytime, it's in large part what I consult about "on the side" of this newsletter. And here's someone else I really trust: Dan Oshinsky, formerly head of newsletters at The New Yorker and now running his own collective. He is one of the best around on email strategy and he writes a monthly newsletter (in the form of a Google doc) about trends and best practices for email, including this month a checklist on five things to do right now. Check it out here. Also, if you like this newsletter, you'll like a lot of them in this shared doc started by my friend Joseph Lichterman to create a running list of email newsletters about journalism (including Lichterman's brilliant Solution Set email).
Another week, another week of great work happening across the state. Please message me anytime if you see more you think should be included!
Next week is Super Tuesday and the primary elections in the state. What coverage are you doing (or seeing) that you are proud of, that really solves a reader problem (and isn't the same ol' horse race speculation)? Please DM me or email with what you're seeing and I'll highlight a couple next week. Until then, I like the uber practical, reader question-centric article that Carolina Public Press ran last week: Answers to 18 frequent questions about 2020 elections in NC. And a similar, FAQs-centric guide from The Asheville Citizen-Times.
Southerly's Lynsey Gilpin has written extensively about the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, which runs through West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina. And last week in the Columbia Journalism Review, she called attention to one troubling aspect of the pipeline project: many of the communities that the pipeline will go through are in "news deserts," as defined by Penny Abernathy's pioneering research at UNC-Chapel Hill. "These places lack consistent, informative local coverage of energy, justice, and the environment," Gilpin writes. "The absence leaves ample space for powerful campaigns by Duke and Dominion, the pipeline's developers and buyers of its natural gas, as well as industry-aligned lobbyists and politicians, to shape the pipeline narrative."
Gentrification. Durham, Charlotte, many places in and outside the state are grappling with the G word and what has become a sort-of common set of aesthetic choices: such as "newly built cubed houses, at least one restaurant that serves acai bowls, microbreweries, yoga studios, and, of course, the ever popular Bird scooters," according to Amber Delgado from the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke. Delgado explores the visual principles guiding and driving gentrification in Durham and other places across the country in a Scalawag piece that is thought-provoking to say the least. She reminds that aesthetic choices, such as building design and demolition decisions …, often carry more than aesthetic intentions. As she writes eloquently and powerfully: "Understanding that gentrification is also a battle of aesthetics with implications for individual lives is a necessary reframing for people looking to preserve the cultural and iconographic integrity of their communities. Curated tolerance foregrounds the stark inequities that are presented as natural by connecting visual symbols to their ideological underpinning."
"Some Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools parents and teachers say they're concerned about a mandatory survey being given in class that asks students in grades 6-12 to list their sexual orientation and gender identity." Well, I'd say if my kids went there, I'd have some concerns, too. WFAE's Ann Doss Helms wrote at length about a story that's unlikely to go away soon.
The Center for Cooperative Media has compiled nearly 300 excellent examples of journalism collaboration from the mid-2000s' onward in a public database and now also a collection of tips on getting buy-in to launching such collaborations (especially with one-time competitors). See here on how to get buy-in from management, for instance. And check out the database, which has a bunch of examples of collaboration among NC entities, including:
(a) the Carolina Public Press-led collaboration last year on the low conviction rates for sexual assault;
(b) the two-year partnership among public media stations including WUNC on gun-related issues; and
(c) the series late last year that EdNC.org ran in partnership with the Spotlight on Poverty and Opportunity on the challenges facing community college students.
And speaking of EdNC: Liz Bell wrote last week about how grants from the state community college system office help 750 students with child care assistance each year. But the state's child care subsidy has around 30,000 children waiting for support. Bell (who writes about early childhood issues) details in this piece how this huge gap is reflective of the struggles of parent-students at community colleges across the state.
David Zucchino's book has brought hopefully lots of widespread attention to the Wilmington massacre of 1898. (See here for a podcast he did on WFAE last week.) But Coastal Review Online this week published a fascinating story about how just 200 miles away from Wilmington (and other areas of the state where Jim Crow laws and widespread racism ravaged and subjugated African-American communities), Pea Island and other remote areas along the Outer Banks provided a refuge where African-Americans lived somewhat undisturbed lives. And held many well-respected jobs in the U.S. Lifesaving Service (not to mention a front-row seat to the Wright Brothers first-in-flight experiments). Check out Catherine Kozak's article here.
Finally, recent UNC-Chapel Hill graduate Andrea Martin published an adapted version of her journalism master's thesis last week in Poynter: "Local newsrooms deal with online harassment daily. Here are 3 things to help ahead of the 2020 elections." It's a compelling read about the online harassment that local journalists face—and spells out clearly what newsrooms can and should do in response.
WUNC/North Carolina Public Radio will hold its first-ever "Pints & Politics" event at Top of the Hill in Chapel Hill tomorrow, Feb. 27. Political reporters Rusty Jacobs and Jeff Tiberii will chat about the 2020 elections ahead of the March 3 primary, and record an episode of the WUNC politics podcast. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with the program set to begin at 7 p.m. More information here on this free event. Tiberii, WUNC's capitol bureau chief, told me that WUNC started the twice-a-week podcast four years ago and he's hoping to use the Thursday event to promote engagement with the podcast, which has grown steadily despite not a lot of marketing effort. He said he is hoping to do "three or four more" of these types of events in the next year. Because their terrestrial radio listening area stretches from Guilford County to Manteo, the plan is to try to schedule the others for outside of the Triangle.
The Elon University School of Communications on March 4 will host a panel titled "Media and the Culture of Shame," delving into society's cancel culture, resiliency, shame vs. embarrassment, and the responsibility of individuals and media/journalism in public discourse. Panelists include Frank LoMonte, director of the Brechner Center for Freedom of Information at the University of Florida and long-time executive director of the Student Press Law Center in Washington, D.C.; Deborah Dwyer, a UNC doctoral student; and … me. The event will be held in the LaRose Student Commons and begin at 7:30 p.m. More info here.
Love FOIA, comedy, and bluegrass? Then you're going to love "FOIA Love," a touring comedy/bluegrass show from Curtis Raye about "strange public records." And you should check it out when it comes to Durham on March 20. Tickets and more info available here.
If you're in Chapel Hill between 5 and 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27, come to Wilson Library to hear a talk by Penny Abernathy, Knight Chair in Journalism and Digital Media Economics at UNC-Chapel Hill who led the "news deserts" research. Abernathy's talk will mark the opening of the exhibition "Papers for the People: A Treasury of North Carolina News Sources," a University Libraries exhibition that features two centuries of written news archives, including newspapers, newsletters and magazines and other examples of hyperlocal journalism. It will be on view through May 31 at Wilson.
Another reminder for email newsletter lovers: the UNSPAM conference is coming to Greenville, SC on March 12th and 13th. 6AM City is hosting a newsletter-focused hackathon during the conference, among other panels and workshops over the two days (this is one of those "un-conferences" that I find much more worthwhile and help to program myself; no sitting in rooms passively listening for eight hours!).
And a close-to-final reminder that Sunshine Day 2020 will be held Monday, March 9 at North Carolina A&T State University in the NC A&T Student Center. Guests are invited to attend a slate of events on openness and transparency issues facing North Carolina citizens. Events will begin at 9:30 a.m. Go here for more information.

Чемпионат Финляндии по фигурному катанию 2015 () — соревнование по фигурному катанию среди спортсменов Финляндии сезона 2014—2015. Чемпионаты Финляндии по фигурному катанию проводятся уже с 1908 года.

Турнир прошёл в городе Вантаа с 19 по 21 декабря 2014 года. Фигуристы соревновались в мужском и женском фигурном катании, а также в спортивных танцах на льду (соревнования в парном фигурном катании на национальном уровне в Финляндии не проводятся уже с 2004 года). Соревнования во всех дисциплинах проводились на «взрослом» и юниорском уровнях.

В соревнованиях среди женщин по причине травмы бедра не принимала участие Юулия Турккила, победительница предыдущего национального чемпионата Финляндии. Самая же титулованная из действующих фигуристок Финляндии, Кийра Корпи, из-за травмы не принимавшая участие в прошлогоднем соревновании, в этом сезоне восстановила форму. Захватив лидерство после короткой программы, она выиграла соревнования, став, таким образом, чемпионкой Финляндии уже в пятый раз. По мнению спортивной редакции YLE, свою мощную и гармоничную произвольную программу она откатала практически безошибочно, очаровав как зрителей, так и жюри. Второе место заняла 15-летняя Йенни Сааринен, победившая год назад в чемпионате Финляндии среди юниоров; бронзовые медали чемпионата — у 15-летней Вивеки Линдфорс. В соревнованиях среди юниоров победила Каролийна Лухтонен.

Лидерство в соревнованиях среди мужчин после короткой программы захватил Валттер Виртанен, серебряный призёр прошлого чемпионата. Он остался первым и после произвольной программы. Для Виртанена это уже вторая золотая медаль национального чемпионата. Второе место занял Томи Пулккинен, третье — Виктор Зубик. Маттиас Верслуйс, чемпион прошлого года, занял четвёртое место (после тяжёлой травмы он возобновил выступления лишь в ноябре 2014 года). В соревнованиях среди юниоров победил Роман Галай.

Чемпионами среди танцевальных пар стали Олесия Карми и Макс Линдхольм. Чемпионы прошлого года Хенна Линдхольм и Осси Канерво не выступали из-за травмы.

По итогам чемпионата была сформирована сборная команда Финляндии на чемпионаты Европы, мира и юниорский чемпионат мира.

A joint bid from Hungary and Slovakia has been successful at the EHF Congress in Glasgow in their bid to host the Men's EHF EURO in 2022.
Thanks in no small part to a highly professional presentation, the member federations of the EHF decided to award the event to the two federations.
Hungary and Slovakia have experience of hosting numerous handball events, including IHF Youth and Junior World Championships.
Hungary already has experience of co-hosting an EHF EURO – sharing the role with Croatia for the Women's EHF EURO in 2014, but neither has yet hosted a senior Men's EHF EURO or IHF World Championship.
Budapest has also hosted the Women's EHF FINAL4 since 2014.
For more information on the bid visit the EHF EURO Beyond 2020 website and event profile on eurohandball.com.
The bid from Denmark and Switzerland was withdrawn before the start of the presentations to focus only on their bid for 2024.

Growing up, David had a strong curiosity for science and spirituality.
He left his hometown, through the consent of his parents, at the age of 12. He studied in an agricultural school, working from 5 o'clock in the morning until noon and then going to school until 8 o'clock at night. Throughout this time, his love of nature and curiosity for science would grow as he combined spirituality and science through nature.
His life has been busy, with education and entrepreneurship at the heart of everything he does. David has an immense passion for life and for helping others. This passion has changed the direction of David's life many times, landing him comfortably where he is today healing others at the Ibogaine Clinic in Mexico which he founded nearly 12 years ago.
David was born in Iran. His father, a well-known singer, was a very close friend of the Shah of Iran. The political change would cause David and his family to move to Israel where he would attend agricultural school. Here he learned and worked at the same time, constantly dealing with both science and nature.
David started to develop a tremendous love for science by observing nature. His work with the symbiotic Mother Nature and animals developed the early connection to spirituality that David would continue to grow and develop as the years passed. This led to an interest in studying the Talmud and Kabbala.
For more than 30 years David studied and performed in-depth research of the scientific world. He became curious as to why, with all of the components of a cell available, "why can't we create one living cell?" This curiosity became the basis of David's research for many years, but despite the knowledge he gained, the question remains unanswered.
David continues to study and learn the spiritual aspects of human life here on Earth. The more he learned, the more he has realized how much more he does not know—or rather, how much more he needs to know.
David attended grade school and high school in Israel and the US, graduating from Jamaica High School, NY. Upon his graduation, David would spend 3 years in the Israeli army. During his time of service, he was subjected to immense trauma as most military veterans are. Although he would not let this stop him, it plays a key role in his later (and current) path of healing others.
As a young adult, David moved to the United States to study music at Florida Atlantic University. His musical talent would continue to play a role in his everyday activities later in life. Even today, at the Ibogaine Clinic, that David Dardashti founded, the music that is played for patients during their ibogaine treatment is a compilation that David himself put together specifically for the treatment.
A LIFELONG LEARNER
For many years David has continued to focus on education. A theologian, both in spirit and in-kind, David continues to learn through the Talmud and the Kabala. His studies deeply center around the human psyche both conscious and subconscious. He studied the approach of philosophy and medicine by ancient Greek philosophers and physicians like Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato. Much of David's influence in research, healing, and medicine is based on his deep understanding of the 12-century Scholar, Physician, and philosopher Maimonides' approach to spirituality and medicine.
This too plays a role in his current, long-time passion to heal others. David's theology background and continued education afford him the ability to provide clarity and true meaning behind the spiritual component of the ibogaine treatment he provides to his clients today. This approach to medicine involves understanding the anatomy of the human body and the source of the illness.
Personal research and a passion for helping others overcome addiction to drugs or alcohol and live a life free from the burdens of various diseases and illnesses are guiding factors in David's life. This approach didn't come to him so easily.
ENTREPRENEUR TO ADDICT
David understands the individuals he treats so well because he was once addicted to opiates himself through prescribed medication. In 1998 Ibogaine was not yet known. David was forced to take the approach of quitting opiates (cold turkey). This led him to a year of total misery, suffering from withdrawal, cravings, and severe depression in order to become totally sober.
This amazing entrepreneur would graduate with a bachelor's degree in Music from Florida Atlantic University. He would later go on to found and operate a major commercial real estate company in the United States. As a real estate developer developing major shopping centers, office buildings, and hotels, David would meet many people from all walks of life. Unfortunately, he would also find himself suffering from migraine headaches that made it difficult for him to perform his everyday routines related to his business.
To treat the migraines, which were likely the result of executive burnout, David was prescribed an opiate. The powerful painkiller helped for a short time, but quickly became an addiction that caused great shame, guilt, and depression for David. Although he was still operating a very successful commercial real estate development business, David was suffering deeply from his addiction to opiates and desperately needed to find a treatment option that worked.
Pure ibogaine, use that substance to trigger your central nervous system which wakes up your body. And finally, your body is able to fix itself. – David Dardashti
HEALING THROUGH IBOGAINE TREATMENT
Immediately after becoming sober. By chance, or by God's will, whichever one you choose to believe, one day David was introduced to ibogaine. It gave him another entrepreneurial outlet that would take more learning in order to grow. And, since learning and entrepreneurship are two of David's greatest passions, it's no surprise that he would spend the next two decades following his passions and developing effective healing methods and individual ibogaine treatment protocols to help countless others heal from years of substance abuse, PTSD, depression, anxiety or other neurological disorders.
David's fiery passion for ibogaine treatment stems directly from his own experience with ibogaine.
David and his entire staff have experienced ibogaine treatment for various reasons including anti-aging, executive burnout, anxiety and migraine headaches, life experience, depression, and addiction. Today David treats himself with ibogaine once a year purely for anti-aging purposes. Ibogaine helps David prevent sicknesses, keep a sharp mind, and maintain a healthy immune system.
PERCEPTION!
Ask David and he will tell you that ibogaine provided him perception that he had never had before. He has been known to say, "One can become spiritual only when lifted from the boundaries and limitations of the physical body and connected to the highest levels of consciousness—to the soul." Finally, after years of suffering, David found the connection he was seeking, between his subconscious and his conscious self to become more self-aware.
FOUNDING IBOGAINE BY DAVID DARDASHTI
In a dramatic response to the impact that David's ibogaine treatment had on his life, and his ability to understand WHY he became addicted and what he could do to finally heal from years of trauma and pain, David founded the Ibogaine Clinic in Mexico. Since founding the Mexico ibogaine clinic, David has helped thousands of people to better understand ibogaine and the natural healing powers of this substance.
David has a unique ability to heal using Maimonides practices and strategies which, when paired with his thorough understanding of human anatomy and ibogaine treatment, can get to the root of one's problem in a simple, logical manner. Ask David how ibogaine works and he will tell you that it's all about simplicity and logic—everything in the human body is about logic.
David found out that pure ibogaine is not psychedelic and should not be called psychedelic. He found that the true experience is that of perception. Ibogaine triggers the central nervous system which in turn ignites the brain to communicate with the rest of the body to heal itself and allows the understanding of one's own powers and abilities through the subconscious.
Through his research, and many years of treating people, David has found that ibogaine, "helps the individual bypass physical withdrawal and cravings, but it is the cleansing of the spirit that is the first step to a lasting recovery." The theologian in him continues to find connections between addiction and the workings of the human spirit. David believes strongly that ibogaine contains powers proven on a physical and spiritual level.
PASSION FOR OTHERS
David truly loves helping others and his passion for ibogaine is very much related to his passion to heal and help others find wellness. The Ibogaine Clinic has focused largely on addiction, depression, and PTSD treatment for many years, but the healing powers of ibogaine and David's candid nature allow for a treatment experience like nowhere else. David's ongoing research extends into the use of ibogaine in the treatment of the following conditions:
Long-acting opiate addiction including Methadone, Suboxone, and Subutex
Short-acting opiate addiction including Percocet, Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, and Fentanyl
Depression, PTSD and anxiety disorders
Repair and increase libido
Chronic headaches, including migraines
Alzheimer's disease and memory loss
Obesity and Over Compulsive Eating Disorder
Chronic fatigue syndrome – the breakdown of one's immune system
Stimulants such as Adderall, Methamphetamine, Crack, and Cocaine
David would like to help anyone else and encourage others to spread the word to help others to experience this miracle substance. Perception and healing through the subconscious by triggering one's own body, the greatest source, past present, and future to heal itself is truly miraculous.

The Montgomery Mall was built during the heyday of the multi-tenant retail boom. The facility is still thriving thanks to smart strategic planning and savvy investments in upgrades, the most recent being new signage, with a Watchfire sign at the main entrance.
When Jack Fazio came on board as general manager in 2012 the mall's manual reader board was failing. The company that installed it had relocated to Florida, which made repairs time consuming and frustrating. He saw LED signs in the area and knew changing to something similar would meet their needs with noticeable and colorful content.
As a multi-unit retail shopping center, engaging the tenants was essential. They had recently attracted the first Wegmans Food Market to be attached to a mall. Wegmans, named a top grocery chain by Consumer Reports, planned to utilize some of their advertising budget to purchase time on an LED sign for special promotions.
Maintaining the existing footprint of the older sign was key for Fazio, as was the rebranding needed to remain consistent with the mall's parent company, Simon Property Group. Working with Forman Signs, the new installation took up the same space as the previous signage but projected a more modern, vibrant look.
The mall's marketing department manages sales of spots on the sign, creates content and schedules messages. The mall allows some tenants to purchase a full year of spots, but also offers affordable weekly packages. All of their packages deliver a very effective cost per thousand impressions when compared to other traditional media in the area.

DVLA alert: Second-hand cars and imported spare parts
The Driver and Vehicle License Authority (DVLA) has urged policy makers to check second-hand vehicles and spare parts that are imported into the country.
It said most imported vehicles, especially the commercial ones, and spare parts were accident vehicles that had been completely destroyed and beyond safety.
In an interview, the Deputy Director of Vehicle Inspection and Registration of the DVLA, Alhaji Iddrisu Huseini, told the Daily Graphic that most road accidents occurred because of the accident vehicles and spare parts that were imported and highly patronised by car owners and drivers.
There are lots of rickety commercial vehicles in the country with most of them being overused. A lot of accident cars have been imported into the country.
Some of the vehicles are mainly second-hand minibuses and vans that have been changed into passenger vehicles, with crude seats and often without enough leg room.
Other vehicles also have exposed metals that often tear the clothes of passengers and/or injure them, with the attendant danger of tetanus infections.
Sometimes during rainfall, commuters get wet while in the vehicles because of the holes that have developed on the roofs.
Some also have spoilt doors which expose passengers to the dangers of falling off from the vehicles.
DVLA intensifies efforts
According to Alhaji Huseini, the DVLA will collaborate with the Motor Traffic and Transport Department of the Ghana Police Service to intensify its efforts to ensure that the number of rickety vehicles on the road are reduced.
However, he said, it was necessary for policy makers to check the importation of accident vehicles and spare parts into the country.
For instance, he said car tyres which had been used for more than four years (from the date of manufacture) were not to be used, but the reverse was the case in the country.
He urged car owners and drivers to make the safety of commuters a priority by properly and regularly maintaining their vehicles.

No mention of Jesus Christ is allowed in the United Nations.
The most powerful nations, in terms of influence, and secret agents, are Russia, and China (Kings of the East), which are declared enemies, of Christianity. Ninety percent of the remainder of the nations, in the United Nations, is under the control of men and governments, hostile to Jesus Christ, and to the Christian People. Most men who know what the United Nations organization is, and what the aims of the Reds are, see no way in which, a great third world war, can be avoided, except by an abject surrender, by the Christian People, of their sovereignty, and their religion.
In other words, the only thing that would stop the anti-Christians, from eventually attacking America, would be our surrender, and our acceptance, of rule by the Red World Government controlled by the Red-Jews. Their goal is world rule (Note that they want to come out of the shadows), they have worked at it for centuries, they have stated, that they will make no compromise in their goal, and they claim Marx, and Lenin, as their guide.
"Enter into men's minds and cast God down from his throne."
"The Christians are always singing about the blood, let us give them enough of it, let us cut their throats, and drag them over the alter, and let them drown in their own blood. I dream of the day, when the last priest, is strangled on the guts, of the last preacher,"
This man who said this, is an American Citizen, and still one of the highest officials, in the United States Communist Party.
