For many NJ soccer players the winter months, and primarily December, is about rest and recuperation. The High School athletes in particular have gone through a grueling season in which they played 2 or 3 games a week and trained the rest of the days minus Sundays. I personally always recommend my players get some well needed rest during the Holiday month, but after a class I took with a Canadian Soccer Fitness program I realized December and January is a time to build strength.
For younger players (U14 and below) this is a time to make sure the kids are still on a ball and maintaining footwork skills. If you are getting technically based training sessions in once a week, and competing in a league, you are probably ahead of the curve across the State.
Rest and Recovery – Any injuries from the Fall season should be fully rested and rehabbed. Players suffering from injuries should take some time off the field to do some light exercises that help them heal and stay off a soccer field until they fell 100%.
Maintain Aerobic Fitness – This can be very difficult with the Holiday seasons and the over-eating American's routinely do. It is important that all HS aged players get to the gym and do some fitness to maintain the aerobic levels they created over the Fall season. These can be running, swimming, cycling exercises that focus on stimulating the heart and lungs, improving the body's utilization of oxygen.
Increase Muscle Size – It is time to do some weight training… This is something I wasn't sure would be beneficial to HS athletes, but Soccer Fitness Inc. ensured that it was key. It is a prime time for soccer athlete's to build strength (all should be supervised), but players need to build a weight room routine that will work on the legs and upper body during the winter months.
Addressing Functional Weaknesses – Hopefully your coach or trainer gave you an evaluation or at least explained the technical areas needing focus during the off season. Take advantage of this time off of the field to improve those skills and take it seriously. If you need to work on your weak foot (we all do) do it, if control out of the air is the problem – get to it. This is your time to play catch up and sitting on the couch and watching Home Alone and A Christmas Carol is great, but really you are just falling behind your peers that are staying hard at work.
I am a former DI scholarship player and now have 3 daughters with STA ages 12, 10 & 7. I was recruited to play in a women's league a couple of years ago. I teach fitness classes, so my reintroduction to the game was fairly easy. Unfortunately, in November 2016, I tore my ACL in addition to sustaining several other knee injuries. I am currently in post-surgery rehab. Let me tell you that I don't wish this on any other soccer player! Here is my doctor discussing ways to prevent the injury. If you fast forward to minute 8, then you will hear the applicable part. I hope coaches and trainers, if they are not already doing so, will incorporate these tips. Being out for 12 or more months in your playing prime would be such a disappointment.

A Canon from the CN-Hub with a scientific theme. I hope I can publish the translation in Here to let more people know about the Chinese Canons.
This is the translation that I have published on INT hub, though the tiles haven't been translated yet.
I would like to know if it is alright to publish it right now.
hundred Billion decades > billion does not need to be capitalized. Also, for proper grammar, you probably want "hundreds of billions of decades"
compare with the Supernova's flash > unless there's only one specific supernova you're talking about here, you want "a supernova's"
is the mankind > either "is mankind", "is men", or "is the men".
Overall… definitely not ready to publish. Purely from a writing standpoint, not even close. The writing is heavily scattered with small errors, many of them that a good spellchecker and writing assistance program like Grammarly (which is free to download) will pick up on.
Also, even though this is a hub page, the content doesn't really tell the reader what the content of the hub will be. It's just some kind of meandering stream of consciousness thoughts about stars and how transient humans are. It might be workable if the audience is already familiar with the tales, but given that all the links seem to go to the -CN site, I don't know if the hub will survive the voting process.
That said, are any of these works on the mainsite already? If not, focus on getting those on the site first, otherwise there isn't really a reason to have the hub up. If there aren't any tales linked to the hub, people might just downvote the hub and it will be subject to the same deletions process as any other page.
First thanks for the review, i will been working on the correction work.
This hub contain a series of different styles of work, from story in the near future to the year 4000. It conclude tales like sci-fi themes in the universe and daily work in the future, which i consider it great.
I will contect with friends in CN-Hub for translating the tales to miansite in order to make this Canon conplete. This is my first time to do the translate work, so i will do it better in the future, looking forward to take more things from the CH-Hub to the mainsite.
The mistake which has been pointed out are corrected.

Netflixed: Being John Malkovich
"Being John Malkovich" (Universal Studios)
I re-watched this Charlie Kaufman / Spike Jonze film after seeing it over ten years ago in a theatre, it still made me laugh with the sheer absurdity even on this second viewing.
When puppeteer Craig Schwartz (John Cusack) discovers a door that's, in fact, a portal into actor John Malkovich's brain, he concocts a plot to sell 15-minute excursions into Malkovich's mind — and the ultimate head trip — for $200 a pop. Spike Jonze directs this uncommon dramedy from writer Charlie Kaufman, co-starring Cameron Diaz as Craig's wife, Catherine Keener as his co-worker and Malkovich as himself. [Click to Netflix Being John Malkovich ]
Endlessly inventive film – if you missed it the first time around, or haven't seen it in a while, give it a viewing. The scene with John Malkovich playing hundreds of dopplegangers is well worth a third or fourth viewing, it's that much fun.
Apparently, the Steppenwolf Theatre building in Chicago has a half-floor used for storage.
Roger Ebert:
What an endlessly inventive movie this is! Charlie Kaufman, the writer of "Being John Malkovich," supplies a stream of dazzling inventions, twists and wicked paradoxes. And the director, Spike Jonze, doesn't pounce on each one like fresh prey, but unveils it slyly, as if there's more where that came from. Rare is the movie where the last half hour surprises you just as much as the first, and in ways you're not expecting. The movie has ideas enough for half a dozen films, but Jonze and his cast handle them so surely that we never feel hard-pressed; we're enchanted by one development after the next.

Scott Tobias:
Putting aside the fact that Charlie Kaufman's insistently surreal script for Being John Malkovich was staked on the actor's willingness to appear in a supporting role, it's still a miracle that a film conceived with such brazen disregard for the marketplace ever got made. In description, Kaufman's lunatic flourishes seem to have emerged from a haze of pot smoke: an ulcerous chimp with feelings of inadequacy, a building designed to accommodate miniature ladies, a production of The Belle Of Amherst featuring a 60-foot Emily Dickinson puppet. But there's sturdy intelligence and depth behind the material—aided immeasurably by Spike Jonze's ultra-realistic direction—that keeps it grounded in basic human desires
[Click to continue reading Being John Malkovich | DVD | Review | The A.V. Club ]
David Edelstein:
Being John Malkovich is everything I've ever dreamed of in a crazy comedy. It's close to pure farce, yet its laughs are grounded in loneliness, impotence, self-loathing, and that most discomfiting of vices to dramatize: envy. The action is surreal, the emotions are violently real. The screenwriter, Charlie Kaufman, is a genius at finding slapstick correlatives for people's nebulous sense–or non-sense–of themselves. It's possible that no one has ever come up with a more absurdly perfect metaphor for our longing to be someone–anyone–other than who we are than a portal into the head of John Malkovich.

Graduate student drawn to postwar photojournalism
Doctoral dissertation chronicles the innovations in visual culture that followed World War II
BY Laura Paisley
The transition to peacetime challenged photojournalists after the end of World War II. (Photo/clappstar via flickr)
Nadya Bair, an art history graduate student at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, has long been entranced by photography.
As a child in Moscow, she can remember her grandfather — an aerial photographer during World War II — developing photos in his kitchen. Photography, including the social history of the medium, was always part of her life.
Living at a time when anyone with a phone is a photographer, it's easy to forget that 65 to 70 years ago, "people still needed someone to work through the world for them photographically," Bair noted.
In the 15 years following World War II, innovations in visual culture occurred on a grand scale. This transformation became the topic of Bair's doctoral dissertation, "The Decisive Network: Magnum Photos and the Art of Collaboration in Postwar Photojournalism."
Newfound purpose
In a sense, the war was the fire that fueled the proliferation of photojournalism in the middle of the 20th century. War photographers commanded handsome fees for documenting the conflict around the world for newspapers and the booming illustrated magazine industry. The general public came to recognize and depend on photojournalistic documentation of global events.
And then the war ended.
After making a reputation for themselves covering WWII, the most important moment in the careers of these photojournalists was over.
Nadya Bair
"After making a reputation for themselves covering WWII, the most important moment in the careers of these photojournalists was over," Bair said.
Transitioning to peacetime challenged them to find new applications for the photographic medium and to make their pictures as moving and marketable as they were during the war.
One group of photojournalists responded to this challenge by establishing Magnum Photos in 1947. Including such photographic luminaries as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Capa, the cooperative soon became known for its international focus and the trademark editorial style of its photo essays and human interest stories.

According to Bair's research, the innovative nature of Magnum Photos pushed photographic news — both as an aesthetic and a mode of production — into new markets in the 1950s, shaping the visual representation of everything from tourism and Hollywood film sets to the work of relief organizations and business corporations.
"Magnum was willing to cover not only news in the traditional sense, but to work with corporations to brand their activities as worthy of photojournalistic stories, much like the ones people were already used to seeing in Life magazine."
In this way, photojournalism made its foray into the realm of public relations.
An image bigger than one artist
Bair was particularly interested in Magnum's mode of production, arguing that its success resulted from a "decisive network" of agency staff, magazine editors, dark room developers, book publishers and museum curators that the photographers collaborated with on a day-to-day basis.
Indeed, her research challenges the persistent narrative of the "great artist photographer," which she said masks the collective efforts and infrastructure required to elevate the photojournalist to the status of an artist. It's one thing to be able to take hundreds of photos on a shoot, she said, but without someone to edit the images, caption them, package them as a story and get it out the door, a photographer's talent would go undiscovered.
"Although I'm an art historian, I'm much more interested in looking at the profession of photojournalism at this time and understanding how it worked than in analyzing a few famous images. To me, this was one of the biggest moments of innovation in the history of illustrated journalism and I want to capture the story behind the photographs."
Bair received a 2015 Mellon/ACLS Dissertation Completion Fellowship, which will fund her final year of writing before she defends her dissertation next spring. The fellowship is given to 65 scholars who are working in the humanities and social sciences nationally, and Bair is one of only two art historians honored with the award this year.
To bring the day-to-day workings of Magnum Photos to light, she has conducted extensive archival research, visiting a dozen archives around the world and analyzing hundreds of pages of correspondence between Magnum photographers and their editors, book publishers and clients.
"Nadya Bair's work is original, archivally rich and asks questions of importance to several disciplines, including art history and history," said Vanessa Schwartz, professor of history and art history, and Bair's thesis adviser. "It also exemplifies the interdisciplinarity for which USC Dornsife's Visual Studies Research Institute is well-known and well-regarded."
Bair hopes her research will encourage art historians who have grown used to writing about the singular artist and singular images to think about how the history of art and visual culture can be written from this very different perspective — one that takes the demands of the market seriously.
"I'm writing a lot of the people who have been written out of the history of photography back into it. For me that makes a more compelling history of the photojournalistic profession — it always included more than just the photographer."

February 4, 2020 12:15am
EXCLUSIVE: $1BN+ global box office and 11 Oscar nominations isn't enough for Warner Bros' Joker. The pic is gearing up for an international live-in-concert run that will commence in London on April 30.
The news comes two days after the film's composer Hildur Guðnadóttir picked up the Original Music BAFTA having also won the Golden Globe, cementing her as the frontrunner for Oscar. At the BAFTAs, the film also won Best Actor for Joaquin Phoenix and the Best Casting award.
The live Joker event, featuring a full orchestra, will begin at London's Eventim Apollo on April 30 before touring the UK until July. It will also expand to European and further international locations, with dates and venues to be announced.

The London opening will be conducted by Jeff Atmajian – the conductor and orchestrator of the original soundtrack – with Dave Mahoney of concert outfit Senbla conducting the UK Tour dates. Senbla founder Ollie Rosenblatt is producing the event.
Icelandic composer Guðnadóttir is a hot talent at the moment, having also won a Grammy and Emmy for her work on HBO series Chernobyl.
"I'm thrilled to get to see and hear Joker in the cinema with a live orchestra. When we recorded the music, the orchestra brought such depth and detailed attention to the performances that we were all literally holding our breaths during most of the recording sessions. It was a beautiful trip. I'm so happy to get to go there again and for an audience to experience that too," Guðnadóttir commented.
"I speak for the entire Joker team when I say how thrilled we are to be working with Senbla and Ollie Rosenblatt on Joker – Live in Concert. I think it's a wonderful way for audiences to experience Hildur Guðnadóttir's haunting and immersive score while bearing witness to Joaquin Phoenix's descent into madness as Arthur," added director Todd Phillips.

That's His Final Answer: Regis Philbin To Retire from Talk Show This Summer
Ray Tamarra / Getty Images
And America is left wondering who's going to harass Gelman after the 79-year-old Rege leaves.
Regis announced this morning on his namesake show "Live! with Regis and Kelly" that he'll vacate his seat later this year. "There is a time that everything must come to an end for certain people on camera, especially certain old people," he joked. Regis has dealt with his fair share of health issues in the past few years, having underwent hip replacement surgery and a heart bypass.
(More on TIME.com: See Regis as one of the 15 best game show hosts.)
But he leaves with fond memories, calling it "the biggest thrill of [his] life." He's appeared each morning on "Live!" since its inception in 1988, sitting beside Kathie Lee Gifford. Kelly Ripa replaced Gifford in 2001. Philbin's show has aired in New York since 1983, when it was previously called "The Morning Show."
NewsFeed is sure Regis's send-off show will be a party to rival all parties. Let the planning commence! (via Huffington Post)

To mark the 50th anniversary of the death of Sir Winston Churchill, BBC Studios and Post Production (S&PP)'s Digital Media Services division has digitally restored historic footage of the British wartime leader's state funeral for the BBC Parliament channel.
The newly remastered film provides a minute-by-minute account of the then-largest state funeral in history, on 30 January 1965 (pictured), documenting the funeral cortège on its journey from London's Houses of Parliament to St Paul's Cathedral, where the funeral service is shown in its entirety. The film then shows its final procession down the Thames to Waterloo, where the coffin is carried onto the funeral train to Handborough, near Bladon, Churchill's final place of rest.
Uniquely, as S&PP explains, the unedited footage with which it worked is a recording of the funeral being played out on a broadcast-quality television screen in west London. This was due to cost: as film was a more economical and reliable way of archiving programmes in the 1960s, the best way to record TV pictures onto film was to use a specially designed cine-camera focussed on a TV monitor.
For the 50th anniversary edition of the film, Digital Media Services successfully reduced a high pitched whistle which occurred throughout much of the material. The S&PP team also had to resync the new audio with the restored picture – as the original reels did not match, they required a time-consuming resyncing on every reel changeover.
Winston Churchill's State Funeral – 50 Years On, introduced by Sir Nicholas Soames, Sir Winston's grandson, aired at 9.15 on BBC Parliament on 30 January, mirroring the original timings of the 1965 state funeral. It is also available to view on BBC iPlayer.
BBC Studios and Post Production (BBC S&PP) has installed technical galleries for studio spaces at Elstree Film Studios, including the George Lucas Stages, which now feature a Studer Vita 8 for mixing and an OnAir 3000 handling studio routing.

The Wizard of Oz, was the 18th musical production between CBC Monkstown and Loreto College Foxrock. The show, which included a flying witch, a nine piece band and of course Toto, a real dog with his own understudy (the only one in the show!!) took place during the last week before Easter. It was a roaring success playing to a full house each night.
The musical project manager/producer Mr. Dooley was overawed with the high standard of performance and wishes to thank everybody who was involved in this very successful and enjoyable production.

Boston Phoenix CD Reviews
*** William Hooker
THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US
(Knitting Factory)
Versatility is the hobgoblin of postmodernism. Instead of mingling with mutual suspicion, various aesthetic strands, once at war to wear the mantle of the new faith, now lie next to one another in peaceful co-existence. One sometimes misses the barricades. And people who set out to forge new alliances sometimes end up delivering samplers -- a little of this, a little of that -- with nothing really meeting.
Fortunately the samples on drummer William Hooker's new CD are pretty good. The centerpiece is the nearly half-hour long "Sensor Suite," which with its front line of two saxes and trumpet over a piano-bass-drum rhythm section is a fine piece of good old-fashioned avant-garde jazz, from the moody out-of-tempo unison lines to the herniated sax solos to pianist Mark Hennen's Cecil Taylor-ish strategy of comping emphatically amid the firestorm to (most impressively) trumpeter Lewis Barnes's rummaging lyricism. This is bracketed by two versions of Sonic Youth's "Because (Of You)" with a different line-up -- three guitars now -- giving us the rock version of no-bar-line mysticism. For good measure there's a ballad that turns ugly ("Pure Imagination") and a totally charming drum feature ("The Gate"). But my guess would be that Hooker's heart is most firmly rooted in the free-jazz blowout of the suite -- there, at any rate, the blood and drama and little spinning wheels sound most unforced.
-- Richard C. Walls
*** The Gunga Din
INTRODUCING THE GUNGA DIN
(Tractor Beam)
Some bands -- the White Zombies and Marilyn Mansons of the world -- try to give you the creeps by dressing up like creatures of the night, jumping around maniacally, and making a whole lot of noise. Others take a more refined approach, relying on the tension and flow of the music instead of costume pageantry.
The Gunga Din are a garage band from New York, a city in which the concept of jamming in your parents' empty garage just doesn't exist. They're really more of a loft band, featuring current and former members of various underground bands. Singer Siobhan Duffy is from God Is My Co-Pilot; singer/guitarist Bill Bronson was mostly recently spotted in Congo Norvell; bassist Chris Pradica has Supreme Dicks on his résumé; Farfisa organist Maria Zastrow is a member of Stereo Total; and drummer Jim Sclavunos is one of Nick Cave's Bad Seeds. On their Introducing . . . debut, the after-midnight vibe is nearly palpable, yet it's achieved subtly. There's no barking at the moon, just cool "96 Tear" organ lines, slow-motion surf-guitar riffs, and Hazlewood/Sinatra vocal duets delivered with tasteful restraint over hypnotic bass and drum grooves that sound as if they could go until dawn.
-- Matt Ashare
*** Grand Mal
MALEDICTIONS
(Slash)
This New York foursome's time-capsule nostalgia sounds a lot more quaintly charming than they probably intended. Channeling the glitter-flecked polyester pose of Mott the Hoople and T. Rex through the junkie punk of Richard Hell, Johnny Thunders, and maybe the Only Ones, songwriter Bill Whitten (late of the St. Johnny) and his young dudes have made an album that's absolutely disposable -- and often fun as hell to listen to. Which, if we've learned anything from Ian Hunter and Marc Bolan, is probably the point.
The Bowie/Iggy-esque opening track, "Superstars," pretty much nails what's in store: Grand Mal's is a cheap wine-and-Ecstasy world of "neon boys," "broken androids," and Whitten sneering and feeling "like Dracula's teenage son." This theater of seedy scenarios is backlit by a lot of flashy production -- shuffling Madchester percussion, fuzzed-out Jesus and Mary Chain guitars, and little electronic noises that tell you it's a '90s recording. The wholesale Pavement ripoff "Picture You (As Always Falling)" is only one of the best things I've heard this year, and the equally blatant Stooges cop "Fun Fun Fun" is the kind of tune D Generation would give their leather jackets to have written.
-- Jonathan Perry
**1/2 Ginuwine
100% GINUWINE
(550 Music/Epic)
For anyone who can't tell what Ginuwine's all about from his lascivious grin and the Billy Dee Williams 'stache that frames it, a primer: his name's Ginuwine and he's the ladies' choice. He gets up in 'em like a rented Rolls Royce. Or that's what his second album, 100% Ginuwine, leads us to believe -- an admitted "sexaholic," Ginuwine comes off like the king of the speed-dial booty call, a guy who begs, pleads, cries, and moans in every song because he knows the ladies dig that histrionic soul-man stuff. He's a B-team R. Kelly, singing sweet-naughty nothin' with one foot already out the bedroom window, and his finest moment on 100% is a cover of Michael Jackson's "She's Out of My Life," so note-perfect it could fool Bubbles.
So thank God for producer Timbaland -- he masterminded Ginuwine's 1996 hit "Pony" (a grinding groove that's become many a stripper's ace in the hole), and he turns 100% into a sweaty 16-track honeymoon suite. This is slow-jam Timbo, of course, functioning less like the cyber-funk beat wizard of Aaliyah's look-ma-no-cymbals smash "Are You That Somebody" and more like the guy who tailors Barry White's smoking jackets; and his late-night R&B can be as snoozy as anybody's. But when "Do You Remember" and "Final Warning" come alive -- with rhythmically bipolar drum programs homina-homina-ing and Timbaland speaker-phoning murmuring-playa asides and Jumbotron bass lines rollin' like thunder under the covers -- it almost doesn't matter how slack whatshisname's game is.
-- Alex Pappademas
** Frank Black and the Catholics
(spinART)
Opting for the direct approach again, Frank Black convened his new band, the Catholics, for 10 days of recording straight to two-track. That's more than twice as long as they took with Frank Black and the Catholics, but it still wasn't long enough to work the kind of magic Black has achieved in the past, both as the leader of the Pixies and on his second solo disc, Teenager of the Year. Black has obviously come to favor a stripped-down approach, and though his band are more than capable -- they're tight and forceful throughout the disc -- it's the stripping down of the songs that's the problem. Black's real songwriting successes have come when he's thrown listeners for a loop, sometimes three or four times in a single track. Classics like "Debaser" and newer, lesser-known numbers like "Thalassocracy" were relentlessly weird, dropping beats -- even whole measures -- and twisting through chord changes that by all rights were just plain wrong. This new crop of songs is tuneful and catchy enough, but the closer Black gets to normal, the easier he is to ignore.
-- Ben Auburn
**1/2 Donald Harrison
(Impulse!)
Alto-saxophonist Donald Harrison is a fluid, resourceful, sometimes adventurous player, in thrall to Coltrane and joined here by a pianist (Andrew Adair) who's steeped in McCoy Tyner. So there's no escaping the sense of familiarity, especially on the reharmonized "Softly As in a Morning Sunrise." On the plus side, "Blue Rose" is a pleasant tune in the vein of Trane's "Giant Steps," and Harrison, to his credit, also draws on Eric Dolphy, Sonny Criss, and Jackie McLean.
Over the last couple of albums, Harrison has been emphasizing funk and his New Orleans roots. He makes the Meters' "Cissy Strut" into an exciting modal swinger and digs in with an imaginative, pensive solo. The soul bass line and percussion of "Mr. Cool Breeze" establish an attractive groove right off, and Harrison sails over it superbly. "Nouveau Swing (Reprise)," a sung paean to jazz, shows how embarrassing jazz musicians can be when they try to go pop. The bit when Donald tells us to "check the blue notes connected to the new notes" might have been more effective if Free To Be gave us a stronger sense that Harrison is really after something "new."
-- Chris Fujiwara
*** Blur
(Virgin)
The "woo-hoo" boys are back, it's just that in the couple of years since their last costume change (from Brit-pop mods of Parklife to indie-slackers of Blur) there's apparently been some romantic discord in the Blur camp -- namely frontguy Damon Albarn's break-up with Elastica's Justine Frischmann. So this time there's a bit more "boo-hoo" in the mix, particularly in the gospel-tinged sing-along "Tender," which kicks things off with choirboy vocals and a dash of churchy organ.
13 also finds the band working with the techno-oriented producer who engineered Madonna's last pop coup, William Orbit, though for the most part his tasteful ambient touches are overridden by guitarist Graham Coxon's unruly and abraded guitar tones and Albarn's fondness for Pavement and the Fall. "Song 2" worked so well on the last one that we've now got two more Blur "Songs," the sloppy slide-driven rocker "Swamp Song" and the gentler yet still sonically skewed ballad "Mellow Song." In other words, 13 is more or less a logical and successful progression from Blur, with more art-damaged noises and less in the way of ready-made sports cheers. ESPN may end up disappointed, and that in itself will probably please a lot of Blur fans.
*** Asa Brebner
RAGGED RELIGION
(Asa Records)
Asa Brebner is, in no particular order, a savvy songwriter, a gifted roots-rock guitarist, and a first-class, grade-A cynic. On his first solo album (1996's Prayers of a Snowball in Hell), the former Jonathan Richman/Robin Lane sideman kept his darker streak in check and put his witty/romantic songs up front. On this one he basically says "to hell with it" and gets all the cranky, oddball numbers off his chest.
The title track's a catchy little tune about running one's family and one's finances into the ground; on "True Fine Mama" he comes on like a rock-and-roll casualty trying to write a message song, opining that all the homeless people on the street just need to get laid. On a more sensitive note, "Last Laugh" celebrates one of the perks of finding a new girlfriend: being able to flaunt it in front of the old girlfriend. All this venom is worked into tunes that could pass for commercial roots rock: the hooks and the twang are there, and Brebner's voice has taken on a latter-day Lou Reed quaver. The world-weariness gets out of hand only on the half-sung/half-spoken "Ruins"; elsewhere his characters have enough dogged determination to get them through. And he throws in one of his novelty songs, about a jolly family outing to "Indian Amusement Park" -- which, of course, shuts down before they show up.

Seattle, Washington is the center of Pacific Northwest's highly skilled quarterback region. QBA's quarterback academy in Seattle provides high end development training to dozens of committed, hard-working quarterbacks from all over Washington. In addition to year-around regional QB development sessions, QBA also brings their National Quarterback Academy Series to Seattle every year.
QBA's quarterback academy staff are well equipped to take ownership of their development goals. QBA's coaches inspire and provide specific instruction to quarterbacks so they can mature quickly and understand how to define for themselves what matters most, what matters least, and what will matter when they are done playing. The QBA character and leadership program equips quarterbacks with the authentic confidence that allows them make big plays in big games and become leaders that their teammates and coaches will trust.
QBA's Self-Correct Throwing System builds confidence and consistency in quarterbacks through proven application of bio-mechanics that are easy to understand and apply to any situation. Seattle quarterbacks that train in QBA's throwing program learn to generate more power in their throw while also increasing accuracy and control. QBA also teaches the R4 QB Passing system which equips a quarterback to make full field reads through a simple process. This puts the QB in a position to make the correct decision on defensive coverage and recognition and on every play throw quicker than the defense can respond. The result for the quarterback is throwing more touchdowns with less interceptions.
The quarterback position requires substantial attention during every repetition. While other camps invite coaches to be present, QBA provides certified, qualified coaching with a high coach to player ratio so the quarterback is insured they get meaningful instruction on every rep. The result is authentic confidence and improved play in the quarterback.
Please take a look below for news on upcoming quarterback training and QBA trained athletes from the Seattle, Washington Area.

Muslim Brotherhood's leader Mohamed Badie shouts slogans against the Interior Ministery behind bars during the trial of 738 brotherhood members for their armed sit-in at Rabaa square, at a court on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt May 31, 2016. (Reuters)
Egypt court upholds life sentences for ten Muslim Brotherhood leaders
Published: 11 July ,2021: 08:08 PM GST Updated: 11 July ,2021: 09:19 PM GST
Egypt's highest appeals court upheld on Sunday the sentencing of ten leaders of Egypt's outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, including the group's head, to life imprisonment, the state-owned MENA news agency reported.
In 2019, a Cairo criminal court found all ten, including the group's Supreme Guide Mohamed Badie, guilty of charges related to killing policemen and organizing mass jail breaks during Egypt's 2011 uprising. That revolt culminated in the ouster of longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak.
The defendants were found guilty of helping around 20,000 prisoners escape, and of undermining national security by conspiring with foreign militant groups — the Palestinian Hamas and Lebanon's Hezbollah.
Meanwhile, the Court of Cassation acquitted eight middle-rank leaders of the organization, who were sentenced earlier to 15 years in prison.
All of the sentences, which the court considered on appeal, are final.
This is the latest of several life sentences for Muslim Brotherhood leaders, who stood several trials since the crackdown on the group in 2013 following the military ouster of Egypt's first democratically elected president, the late Mohammed Morsi.
Morsi had hailed from the group's ranks but his one-year rule had proven divisive and provoked nationwide protests.
Tens of thousands of Egyptians have been arrested since 2013, and many have fled the country. Morsi himself was a defendant in the prison-break case, but he collapsed in a courtroom and died while appearing in a separate trial in summer 2019.
A judge eventually dropped the charges against Morsi, who in 2011 escaped with other Brotherhood leaders two days after they were detained amid a crackdown by Mubarak's security forces trying to undercut the planned protests.
Last month, the Court of Cassation upheld the death sentence for 12 people involved in a 2013 protest, including several senior Muslim Brotherhood leaders.
The trials and death sentences have consistently drawn scathing criticism from rights groups at home and abroad, which call the process a mockery of justice.

MILITARY RULE AND POLITICAL TRANSITION IN NIGERIA AN APPRAISAL OF ABACHA REGIME
(Political Science)
This study analyzes military rule and the political transition to democracy in Nigeria. It enquires into how military intervenes in the Nigerian politics in the recent time. The study also examines how corruption induces military intervention in Nigerian politics due to the embezzlement of public funds by our political leaders as well as mismanagement of government properties.
This study looks at the major challenges in Nigeria rule so as to establish the gap in the existing literature by examining the roles played by ethno-political organizations in the country and also the activities of some ethnic militias like OPC in the West, Arewa in the North and Youth organizations in the south.

Chapter One: Introduction
In this study, I examined the relationship between ethno political organisations and the transition from military rule to civilian rule (democracy) in Nigeria between 1993 and 1998. I also inquire into both how ethno political organizations affected the process of democratisation and how the process, in turn, influenced their roles in politics generally, and in exacerbating or ameliorating political conflicts.
Ethno political organizations are pan ethnic formations serving or out porting to serve the political interest of their members, their co-ethnics and ethnic homelands. They could be seen as specific movement organisations pursuing more diffuse and generalized ethnic interests. The political role of ethnic organisations has been well documented by observers of Nigerian politics.
In fact, by the 1920s southern Nigeria was awash with such organizations with immediate and remote political aims, taking their names from respective communities and clans of their members. Recognising their incipient political aspiration, a 1935 colonial report described them as young men��s club
By the middle years of coloniali club were speedily turned into pan- ethnic organisations. Ethno- political organisations such as the Igbo aged grades or unions, the Hausa Fulani Jamiuyar Mutanen (Arewa) and Yoruba Egba Omo Oduduwa, were the main ethno political organisations ravaging our country Nigeria, before the attainment of our independence on October, 1960. These pan ethnic organisations were to become important actors in the democratic struggle of Nigerian people against colonial rule, which culminated in independence in 1960. The salutary roles they played in the first were of democratization in Nigeria, including the dynamics of their relations with the colonialist and another has been articulated by some studies.
Nevertheless, the precipitate decline of Nigeria into authoritarian rule a few years after independence, characterised by nearly three decades of military rule, has also been blamed on the political intervention of these ethnic organisations.
Consequently, when the military seized power and banned all political parties in 1966, at least 26 tribal and cultural associations were also banned. Still, ethno political organisations remained central in Nigerian politics generally, and in the recent process of ending authoritarian rule in particular. Some of the organisation that emerged in this process include the Egbe Afenifere, literally meaning persons wishing to protect their interest in association with others and Egba Ilosiwaju Yoruba (Association of Yoruba progressive) claiming to represent Yoruba interest, the Mkpoko Igbo (union o for the survival of Ogoni people (MASSOP) for the minority Ogonis and the northern Elders Forum representing or perceived to represent Hausa Fulani interests. Some of them have coalesced into larger inter ethnic and regional ensembles like the southern Mandata Group with purports to represent all ethnic interest in the south of the country.
The primary objective of this study is to explain the roles of ethno political organisations, in the transition to democracy in Nigeria which began in 1986, when the then military government of General Babangida announced its transition programme. That attempts was botched, perhaps temporarily, with the annulment of presidential election on June 12th, 1993. Three months later, the military led by General Sani Abacha, a prominent member of the Babangida administration, seized power and promised to return the country to a democratic government which he never did until he died in 1998.
Various studies have examined transitions to democracy in Africa, often situating them within the context of the so called third wave of democracy, which refers to the recent experience of eastern European, Latin America and African countries.
Although there are still many dissenting voices calling for more rigorous examination of the concept of democracy the dominant attitude is that the democracy on offer is settled, namely liberal / multi-party democracy/ this attitude, in most cases, is both reflection and a result of the renaissance and resurgence of Tocquevillean and Schumpetarian notions of democracy as institutional political arrangement and practices of west, and democratization as the spread of those institutions with them.
This process is also seen as ineluctable, contrary to this position,
however the originality of Africa��s transi extra African influences have impa spread by proselytizing others. To be sure, the reversals already being experienced in democratic transitions in some African countries and
recline into authoritarian rule in others, suggest to us the need for a re-examination of the democratic content of African transitions. One factor that many will agree is central to such re-examination is ethnicity. The interface between ethnicity and democracy has been prominent theme in extant literatures. Studies have focused on the reciprocal impact of ethnicity and multiparty democracy. While some argue a negative impact of ethnicity on democracy, others argue positive (or potentially positive) link. What is still lacking however, are in debt studies of the concrete experience of multi ethnic African societies in the light of transitions to democracy. That is the major concern of this study. In doing this, we must realize that the political interventions of ethnic groups in politics are not spontaneous.
Ethnic groups act in politics through their organizations. In fact, we know that ethnic organisations sometimes help to invent identities in the first place. Such organisations as they functioned in Nigeri transition to democratic rule between 1993 and 1998 constitute the focus of our study.
In a view to accomplishing this research work effectively, I therefore pose the following research questions:
1. Does corruption account for military intervention in Nigerian politics?
2. Does ethno political organizations induce military intervention?
3. What are the challenges in Nigeria's tar Nigeria?
1.3 Objectives of the Study
The general objectives or purpose of this study is to examine the problems and prospects encountered by military rule in Nigeria with special references to political transition in Nigeria 1993 –1998.
The specific objectives are:
1. To examine how corruption accounts for military intervention in Nigerian politics.
2. To determine the roles played by ethno-political organizations in military intervention.
3. To find out the major challenges in Nigeria democratic rule.
The most important significance of this study is that even in the context of the liberal democratic project, what remains largely lacking in existing studies is analysis of the specificity of ethnicity in on-going democratic transitions in Africa. There is need to analyse the impact of ethnicity not only the process of transition, but also its different phases.
This study is therefore significance because it helps research students or scholars, as well as those who wish to specialise in this area of study, to understand and be in position to analyse the major influence or causes of military interventions in Nigerian politics, again the main roles being played by ethno political organisations in Nigeria whether positive or negative, and finally, to understand the prospects and challenges being faced by the military and ethno p transition to civil rule.
