Housing prices in B.C. have caused a media frenzy, as analysts, pundits and activists wrestle with how to improve affordability in Vancouver. So far, the discussion has fixated on foreign buyers, speculators and empty houses. Regardless of the policies implemented to address these factors, trying to increase affordability by sniffing out empty homes misses a forest for the trees.
Fundamentally, a tight housing market with high demand will push up housing prices. Without an equally strong push on the supply side (new homes), this dynamic is unlikely to change.
While taxing foreign buyers may have been politically popular, it isn't clear that it's worked. Home sales began to decline before the tax, and have since recovered. Even if foreign buyers represent up to 15 per cent of sales in some months, targeting this group does little to accommodate the vast majority of buyers actually living or planning to live in the city. These people need to live somewhere, and the destination is increasingly outside of Vancouver, with Surrey projected to eventually overtake Vancouver as B.C.'s largest city. To take pressure off the cost of living in Vancouver, the city should build more housing units on its limited geographic footprint.
But one of the chief barriers to increasing affordability in Vancouver is nostalgia. A recent video released by Mayor Gregor Robertson's office portrays Vancouver as a small, dense downtown core surrounded by leafy 1960s-style suburbs. This portrayal is largely accurate, with the vast majority of the city zoned for single-detached dwellings. This is a big part of the problem—Vancouver can't be both low-density and affordable. People from all over Canada and around the world want to live here, and since the city is hemmed in by mountains and the ocean, they can't all inhabit detached houses.
Of course, many longtime residents enjoy living in tree-lined single-detached neighourhoods with ample lot sizes, but there's a limit to how many such homes can fit in Vancouver proper. Typically, residents of desirable, geographically constrained metropolitan areas face a trade-off between lawns and commuting. For those willing to make that trade in Metro Vancouver, Surrey and the interior offer plenty of single-detached homes.
To reduce the cost of housing in Vancouver, more units must be built. A lot more units. Rental prices will stay high so long as the vacancy rate remains vanishingly low, and the cost of owning will continue to rise so long as there are substantially more people bidding on houses than there are houses to buy.
Perversely, restricting development in the core, which has basically been city hall's policy, increases home values for homeowners able to pay expensive Vancouver prices, but pushes out lower-income renters. This means that some of the people who might benefit the most from living in walkable, transit accessible neighbourhoods must rely on sparse suburban public transit or incur the cost of driving. This seems like a harsh trade-off.
If Vancouver city hall wants to fundamentally improve Vancouver's housing situation, it should focus on building more housing units rather than attempting to sniff out unoccupied housing. The zero-sum mentality has to end. The Vancouver of 2027 won't look like the Vancouver of 2017. It will either be a denser, more dynamic city. Or a playground for the wealthy. The choice should be obvious.

ELDE completed: New technologies for industrial wastewater treatment and reuse
NICVA: A non-invasive device for fast cardiovascular condition assessment
Five case studies in the Ciutat Vella neighbourhood on urban reuse and the promotion of innovative production models
The Environmental Engineering (ENMA), group, which is a member of the Institute of Textile Research and Industrial Cooperation of Terrassa (INTEXTER), has coordinated ELDE, a project focused on the treatment of industrial effluents through technologies driven by electricity: electro-oxidation (EO), electrocoagulation (EC), addition of electrogenerated oxidants (EG) and electrodialysis (ED). To carry out the project, three industrial sectors were selected that are considered the most polluting: paper, chemical and tanning. The most problematic factor in wastewaters from these industries is the high organic load and presence of compounds that are not biodegradable.
For effluents from the chemical and tanning sectors, a flexible pilot (20 L/h) was constructed based on a combination of EO and EC techniques. This combination of techniques enabled a reduction of up to 70% in the organic content of the effluents, and fully eliminated the colour and turbidity. These technologies could also be applied to other industrial sectors.
In addition, an EC was constructed to treat 1 m3/h and was installed in a paper manufacturing company. The system is equipped with an efficient power source developed by the MCIA centre and solar panels to reduce the energy consumption of the treatment by between 60 and 100%, depending on the conductivity of the effluent. With the EC treatment, the organic matter was reduced by 25%, to obtain a treated effluent that could be reused in new production processes.
Finally, the environmental impact of using the selected electropurification techniques was assessed. In all cases, the carbon footprint was reduced by over 80% compared to the treatments that are currently in use.
The ELDE (Electrodepuration of industrial wastewater: technical, environmental and economic viability) project was co-funded by the EU European Regional Development Funds as part of the ERDF Operational Programme for Catalonia 2014–2020 with a budget of 1.7 million euros. Other participants in the project were the Motion Control and Industrial Applications (MCIA) for the UPC, and the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC), Eurecat and the SMEs Waterlogies, CIM Aigua and Lavola.

Germany's bold moves pay off vs. the Dutch, Spain still a work in progress
Jump to: Spain a work in progress | Hudson-Odoi's future | Argentina lose | Signs of life for taly
Fifteen years at the highest level gives a national team coach plenty of sporting capital. Enough, for example, to survive both a humiliating first-round exit at a World Cup and relegation from the inaugural Nations League. It also gave Joachim Low licence to make bold moves, and he certainly did that when Germany traveled to take on the Dutch in the pick of the weekend's Euro 2020 qualifiers.
Having already dropped Jerome Boateng, Mats Hummels and Thomas Muller, Low drew up a 3-4-1-2 system featuring two wingers (Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry) masquerading as forwards, with the heft provided by Leon Goretzka's forward runs from the No.10 position and the creativity coming from Joshua Kimmich and Toni Kroos in midfield. It's the sort of setup that looks reasonable in theory but requires field-testing of the sort that simply doesn't exist in the international game.
Having already been humbled 3-0 in Amsterdam back in October, it was a big call from Low. And it paid off. Sane and Gnabry offered the Dutch no reference points and the pair helped Germany to a 2-0 lead, before Ronald Koeman's crew pegged it back to 2-2. Nico Schulz, whose forward runs down the left were devastating for much of the match, eventually grabbed the deserved winner for Germany in the final moments.
You're left to wonder though whether this scheme is something we'll see again on a regular basis. The Sane-Gnabry partnership certainly matched up very well against the Dutch back four in part because, as a group, Koeman's defenders lacked the athleticism to counter the pair and, in part, because the midfield was more about creating than destroying. Against a more defensive, park-the-bus type opponent, the lack of a central striker with presence -- either via guile or strength -- may be problematic.
It's probably also worth noting that as good as Germany looked in the first half, Ryan Babel had two excellent chances that required some old-school Manuel Neuer excellence to snuff out. In other words, Germany remains a work in progress, but it's encouraging to see Low rolling the dice.
Germany came out in a bold formation with a new line-up, and it worked against a tough Dutch opponent currently enjoying its own renaissance.
As for the Dutch, kudos for the self-belief. Matthijs De Ligt may be a full two years removed from his national team debut, but he's still just 19 years old. And to see a kid that age stumble badly and then recover with a goal and some sterling defensive work in the second half is evidence that he has the right stuff. The guy has the stigmata of a future captain.
A word too on Memphis Depay. Despite not being as prolific at club level as he was last season, he showed once again that he can be a game-changer. The maturity level has been kicked up several notches since his 18-month nightmare at Old Trafford. If De Ligt and De Jong are the future at the back and in midfield, he's the future up front.
Spain are still a work in progress
It's not the best year to be manager of Spain. Expectations remain sky-high after last summer's debacle and you're dealing with a generation that will inevitably compared to the giants who came before. (Except, of course, for Sergio Ramos and Sergio Busquets who were part of the giants who came before.) And there's a whole group of players who were supposed to kick on but, for different reasons, have not, from Isco to Marco Asensio, from Alvaro Morata to Dani Ceballos.
Luis Enrique has coped with it by mixing old with new. He found room for Ceballos, Morata and Asensio in his starting XI against Norway but mixed them in with his golden oldies (Ramos, Busquets). He buried the hatchet with Jordi Alba -- rightly so, he was magnificent -- finally gave Dani Parejo his shot and recalled Jesus Navas now that he has reinvented himself as a full-back. His squad includes guys like Jaime Mata, who only made his top-flight debut this season at age 29, and his polar opposite, Sergio Canales, whose top-flight debut came at 16, when he was immediately tagged as the next big thing, flopped at Real Madrid and is now finding himself at Betis.
-- Jaime Mata's remarkable rise
In short, this is a team still being molded and still finding its identity, both in terms of system and personnel. They dominated Norway but -- a familiar theme with Spain -- failed to convert their chances and settled for a 2-1 victory. (The winning goal? A Ramos "panenka" from the penalty spot.)
There's a ton of depth, relatively few superstars (but a whole host of "might-be" players) and, most of all, a lot of work to do. But they're definitely on the right path.
Hudson-Odoi gets his first minutes with England
Callum Hudson-Odoi's 20 minutes against the Czech Republic on Friday were a seamless introduction into the England fold. He simply looked the part alongside guys like Raheem Sterling and Jadon Sancho, the latter of whom is just seven and a half months older but obviously has a far greater body of work. These are players who combine athleticism, technical ability, tactical nous and, above all, flat-out pace to a degree we rarely see at such a tender age.
Gareth Southgate didn't need to throw him in there -- England were 4-0 up at the time -- but the fact that he did was confirmation that he excels at reading the moment.
Hudson-Odoi's future will be decided in the next few months. His contract with Chelsea expires in June 2020, and so far he's been reluctant to extend it. Part of it is because the sides remain far apart, part of it because he (and Chelsea) want to see what happens with Willian, Pedro and especially Eden Hazard (all of whom also are out of contract in 2020 and all of whom could also leave).
One of three things will happen: he'll either tie himself to Stamford Bridge on a lucrative long-term deal, he'll be sold -- Bayern reportedly offered close to £40 million in January and he went so far as to request a transfer -- or Chelsea will play hardball, a bit like they did a few years ago with Dominic Solanke, who ended up leaving for free. Either way, Southgate sent a very clear message. Whatever happens at club level, you have a home with the England team. And that's important.
Don't read too much into Argentina's shock defeat
While it's worth remembering that Argentina's 3-1 defeat to Venezuela was just a friendly and therefore to be taken with the proverbial caveats, it's equally true that this is a badly bruised and battered group after the Russian debacle. Lionel Messi's return wasn't going to fix that, nor were some of Lionel Scaloni's defensive experiments. Lisandro Martinez, Juan Foyth and Gonzalo Montiel had one cap between them heading into this game.
Diego Maradona got his soundbite in when asked about the game -- "It was was a horror movie, and I don't watch horror movies" -- before railing, as usual, about the Argentina FA. He's right in the sense that the dysfunctionality starts at the top but equally, continuous sniping won't help. Scaloni is introducing youth in difficult circumstances. There are veterans to return (Nicolas Otamendi, Angel Di Maria, Sergio Aguero) and guys who might just step up (Paulo Dybala, Rodrigo De Paul, Manuel Lanzini). And there's Messi. They could use a bit of support.
Signs of life for Italy
Italy beat Finland 2-0 on Saturday, which is rather a big deal since the last time they scored more than a single goal in a competitive match was way back in June 2017-- and that was against Liechtenstein. They're playing well, they're aggressive and attack-minded, they create plenty but too often fail to capitalize, which is why Roberto Mancini has been auditioning for a reliable goal scorer for some time.
Has he found one in Moise Kean? Let's not get carried away. He only turned 19 last month, and the 90 minutes against Finland were the most he's played in more than a year. That said he's direct, he's strong, he's technically sound and he works his rear end off.
Beyond that, the midfield was the shining light once again, with Marco Verratti and Nicolo Barella, in particular, leading the way. Most of all, Mancini is getting Azzurri fans excited about their national team once again. We hadn't seen that since Antonio Conte at Euro 2016.

In a move that left everyone outside of Alabama's fanbase clenching their fists in outrage, Nick Saban and his Crimson Tide pulled off the very rare and extremely difficult surprise onside kick.
In the fourth quarter. Of the National Championship game. Ugh.
Damn you, you evil genius.
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney's over-the-top freak out may have had you second-guessing whether or not Alabama's recovery was legal, but don't allow yourselves to be fooled; it definitely was.
This was a simple call. The ball traveled the necessary distance before an Alabama player touched it. Any show of dissent by Swinney was merely a desperation tactic, as he most certainly knows the rule.
The legality issue of onside kicks pops up in every level of football, from high school all the way to the NFL. People rarely seem to understand what is happening, and therefore turn to outrage when the kick goes against them.
The thing is, it's actually pretty clear cut and it's a call that officials rarely screw up because of that. In fact, officials are far more likely to make mistakes in goal line scrums and personal fouls than they are on onside kick calls, purely because it is a rule that is so famously misunderstood and therefore drilled into their heads.
Unfortunately, it just wasn't Clemson's night.


As intricate and laborious as Fallout 76's nuke-launching system is, shrewd players are already finding shortcuts. One such shortcut is a website called NukaCrypt, created by player and Redditor Waffle_cop. NukaCrypt lets you punch in a partial launch keyword and the nuke code letters and numbers you've collected, and spits out possible codes that will get your nuke in the air.
Launching a nuke in Fallout 76 requires a fair few steps. Each of the three silos has eight code fragments you can find by killing certain high-level ghouls, plus you'll need to nab a launch keycard from certain cargo bots, and then you need to decipher the code. They're encrypted using a keyword cipher, with each week's keyword revealed letter by letter in the Enclave Bunker.
Nukes can be detonated in a variety of sites, which will all produce their own high-level enemies. A town, for example, may suddenly be populated by tough level 50 and above automatons once a nuke goes off. Fallout 76 has areas of the map that are known as Fissure Sites, and they are infamous for being deadly. It's where Scorchbeasts, the toughest enemies in the game, reside. Scorchbeasts are huge bat-like creatures that can destroy settlements, and they are Fallout 76's way of one-upping the already fearsome Deathclaws. You can think of them as post-apocalyptic dragons.
A group of players decided to launch a nuke on a Fissure Site yesterday, and the results are bonkers. As documented by YouTuber Nickaroo93, a Fissure Site detonation spawns multiple Scorchedbeasts, including the current toughest behemoth in the game: a Scorchedbeast Queen. The queen is level 95, and she's not alone. Surrounding her are a legion of level 50 and above normal Scorchedbeasts as well as Scorched Deathclaws, Scorched Mega Sloths, and Scorched Ghouls.
It's still not a simple process: each time you enter a code, you need a single-use keycard, so if NukaCrypt gives you ten possible codes you'll need 10 cards if you wind up needing to try all of them. Collecting cards requires tracking down cargobots and shooting them out of the sky, plus dealing with the vertibot escorts it travels with. Even with NukaCrypt's help, it's a good amount of legwork.
Launching nukes isn't just cool to watch: the detonation can spawn powerful bosses carrying extremely rare crafting materials and loot, as we saw the other day when a group of players dropped a bomb on a scorchbeast nest. The radiation gave rise to a level Scorchbeast Queen who summoned a whole bunch of other scorched versions of monsters.
Fallout 76 nukes are less of a PvP tool, and are intended as a way to irradiate certain areas to make high-level spawns and raid them for better rewards. That means these tools won't have players raining down nukes on your head willy-nilly – especially since you still have to collect the codes, access the silos, and complete the quests (at least once) to reach the Enclave.


Without a crystal ball at the kitchen table, predicting what foodies will be clamouring for in the future is never a simple task. The Star has boiled down the buffet of food trend forecasts to declare these eight ingredients the ones to eat in 2016. Pull out your grocery app and get ahead of the curve.
Blame what food and consulting firm Technomic has called "the sriracha effect" on the rise of ghost peppers. Clocking in at one million Scoville heat units — hundreds of times hotter than a jalapeno — it's one of the world's most fiery chili peppers (certified by Guinness World Records as the hottest in 2007, but later surpassed by other breeds, such as the Carolina Reaper). This Indian pepper is also part of a growing craze for Indian cuisine, particularly Indian street food such as kathi rolls (roasted kebab wrapped in roti flatbread).
The United Nations has declared 2016 the International Year of Pulses. While Toronto has been eating these edible seeds and grains (think dried peas, edible beans, lentils and chickpeas) for a while now, expect to see them in more dishes than ever with the UN stamp of approval. They're not just good for sustainable farming in regions such as Latin America, Africa and Asia; they're low in fat and high in protein and fibre for everyone. Spices and flavouring company McCormick & Company suggest pigeon peas, cranberry beans and black beluga lentils could be the new go-to pulses in the coming months.
With quinoa on the outs, look for freekeh (pronounced freak-ah) a roasted green wheat grain to surge in 2016. It has already been spotted on some Toronto menus: Aroma Espresso Bar added a freekeh salad this summer.
Restaurants will serve up more and more African flavour in the new year, continuing the trendy zest for heat. Popular U.K. peri-peri chain Nando's continued to expand across the GTA in 2015. Expect to see more African pastes such as Morocco's harissa on menus and condiments such as Egypt's dukka. From North Africa, sumac will continue painting the foodie scene even redder. And Toronto's Ethiopian cuisine could get the attention it deserves with berbere spice blends going mainstream.
Fried chicken is already huge. Expect it to get even bigger on waffles, in sandwiches, or plain in a paper sleeve. Among the recently opened Toronto spots specializing in fried chicken are Kensington's The Dirty Bird, Cluck Clucks on The Esplanade, and Taiwanese chain Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken on Yonge St. near Gerrard St. (the first North American location). FC of all kinds is a trend that won't die.
The "sriracha effect" will be in full force in 2016, with condiments such as Korean pepper paste gochujang getting their time to shine. As ubiquitous in Korea as ketchup in Canada, gochujang is a fermented paste traditionally made from red chili, glutinous rice, soybeans and salt. Squirt it onto your scrambled eggs, use it as a marinade, or mix it into dipping sauces.
This squash might see the spotlight in 2016 with vegetables at the centre of the restaurant experience. Taavo Kuutan of King West's Weslodge, where they recently added fried zucchini to the menu, says it could be the new asparagus. Toronto dietitian Abbey Sharp, too, has seen more recipes than ever for zucchini in the past six months. "Before, zucchinis were for making zucchini bread," she says. Now you can expect them to take all forms — even noodles. Break out your spiralizer and spin out some zucchini pasta.
Though we're more than 7,000 kilometres away from this island, Toronto might be saying "aloha" more at the table in 2016. Popular Hawaiian appetizer poke (pronounced poke-eh or poke-ee and meaning "to slice or cut") is trending on many menus across North America. International food and restaurant consultants Baum and Whiteman predict it could be the next ceviche. The raw fish dish is typically made with ahi tuna (yellowfin tuna), but can also be made with salmon or octopus.

I used to be a travel fanatic, frantically ticking destinations and countries off my bucket list while simultaneously checking weather channels to schedule my next destination. I wanted to cover as many destinations as possible while I was still physically fit to do so, and my strategy was to focus on any mildly challenging to downright character-building destinations while relatively young and mobile, such destinations being those requiring more than three transits or necessitating multiple transport modes (any combination of planes, trains, boats, tuk tuks or donkeys would do), or those involving altitude sickness, questionable public toilets or necessitating visas from embassies that do not even exist.
I planned to save the more civilised and refined destinations for my later years – those requiring a packing list beyond flip flops, modest clothes for temple visits and presents for local village children; and destinations not requiring half a suitcase of wet wipes and travel-sized bottles of Dettol hand sanitizer. My ultimate goal – to be a member of the Travelers' Century Club.
Then I hit 50 (countries, not years of age), and without warning, the car punctured. I stopped feeling like it would be the end of the world if I did not go somewhere new, and I started to enjoy staying put and going about my daily routine. Trips to previously visited destinations also seemed a breeze and nicely comfortable, like a cosy night in front of the television, because there was no rush to develop an itinerary. In fact, "repetition" became the new "discovery".
However, when I think back on my travels and gaze at my photos, I am in awe of life and what I have experienced. I am not only grateful for the wonders of the world that I have seen, those that sit on any traveller's generic list such as the beautiful Taj Mahal or amazing Petra, nor for having had the joy of wandering around the quaint streets of Colonia Del Sacramento or Luang Prabang; but also for the small moments.
Amongst my most treasured memories are attempting to ride a moped on a quiet stretch of road parallel to the landing strip on Aitutaki and almost driving myself into the gutter; cuddling a village boy's tricolour baby goat in the middle of nowhere in Rajasthan and not wanting to give it back for a very long time; totally misjudging the weather around Inle Lake and trying to get beautiful morning shots of the lake with steely determination and near frostbitten fingers; sitting in a stopped vehicle while on safari to let a procession of ants cross our path; celebrating New Year's Eve in a quiet corner of Patagonia dressed to the hilt in sequins while dancing to cheesy YMCA-type tunes with the hotel manager, chef and bell boy; and screaming while canyon swinging in Queenstown only to find out later that what I thought was my voice was in fact my then-boyfriend's screams that had gone up by one octave.
Surprisingly, I can think of very few bad experiences, perhaps because I am a very kiasu traveller, taking back any unfinished bottles of mineral water from restaurants in India and proudly building my precious collection of "safe" water to use when washing up in the bathroom. Sneer as one may, I pride myself on never having fallen ill throughout my many trips to India, and as a result, being able to enjoy the beauty that it offers to the fullest.
I conclude that I have such few bad memories also because the majority of things that happen on holiday are looked back and laughed upon. What may not have seemed funny at the time are wholeheartedly filed into the holiday fun section of the archives and suddenly everything was part of "the experience" – like having to dry ourselves with the smelliest towel that a kind Keralan villager had offered us lest we appeared unappreciative of his generosity, being bullied by intimidating immigration officers in Africa, or waking up in a desert in Oman to find that a friendly sand gerbil had deposited his idea of a Christmas present, a puddle of wee, on the pillow next to our noses.
With this in mind, there is only one experience that I look back upon with apprehension, this being the worst few nights of sleep I have ever had whilst in the most beautiful ski resort in Colarado. Although we are avid skiers, we only skied for about 5 hours in total throughout our 3-day trip (unheard of by our standards), and we fully attribute our bad experience to bad Feng Shui in the room. While the softest snow was falling outside, it felt like a heavy beam was falling down across our necks as we slept. With the lack of sleep fast accumulating, we lost our energy and eagerness to ski, and the trip was done for.
What would normally have been fun pit stops while skiing were looked upon as nightmare lunch stops, having to stand in cramped shacks while eating cups of substandard chilli con carne, and freezing temperatures which would normally mean a great day of skiing became times of extreme sufferance. All because of one badly positioned beam.
Two years on, I realise that I have barely "travelled" of late (according to my definition of travel that is, i.e. requiring the coverage of a new destination). Packing for the few trips that I have done this year have felt akin to learning how to ride a bicycle again, and airplane turbulence, which would previously lull me to sleep, has started to make me blink like I have an eyelid disorder. I cannot remember why I stopped travelling, but I feel the wanderlust urge starting to creep through the door and consume me again.
I have just revisited the Travelers' Century Club website, and am delighted to learn that I am actually at 64, not 50 (again, countries, not years of age), and with just 11 countries to go before being able to apply for a provisional membership, I might just resume my quest. But in my older and wiser years, I shall endeavour to ensure that I always have a good Feng Shui compliant night's sleep wherever my travels take me.

Oh boy, it's yet another Muslim jihadi murderbot wannabe, raised and taught in the peaceful ways of Islam by our friends the Saudis.
A Saudi national living in Texas was arrested Wednesday for allegedly researching and acquiring chemicals to make a bomb, authorities said Thursday.
Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari, 20, of Lubbock, Texas, allegedly researched several possible targets, including the Dallas home of former President George W. Bush. along with nuclear power plants and hydroelectric dams.
In a personal journal found in Aldawsari's apartment home, Aldawsari wrote the events of September 11, 2001, had produced a "big change" in his thinking and that he had been inspired by the speeches of Osama bin Laden, the affidavit said. He had excelled in high school in order to take advantage of scholarship opportunities offered by Saudi companies to get to the United States, he wrote, and had been planning to commit a terrorist attack in the United States for years, according to the affidavit.
Aldawsari allegedly wrote the scholarship "will help tremendously in providing me with the support I need for Jihad." The entry continued: "And now, after mastering the English language, learning how to build explosives and continuous planning to target the infidel Americans, it is time for Jihad," the affidavit says.
But don't worry, Aldawsari is just a "lone wolf". Of course, the question is, how many "lone wolves" does it take to form a pack of wolves, an ongoing pattern, and a persistent national security threat? How many more of these "lone wolves" are out there, waiting for their turn at jihad?
The anti-government fever that has so far infected Pakistan, Lebanon, Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Algeria, and Bahrain, has now spread to Libya.
The victims' names were: Khaled ElNaji Khanfar and Ahmad Shoushaniya.
"All the people of Beyida are out on the streets," said 25-year-old Rabie al-Messrati, who said he had been arrested after spreading a call for protests on Facebook.
Inspired by popular and successful uprisings in neighbouring Tunisia and Egypt, Libyan protesters are seeking an end to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's 41-year-old rule, one of the longest and most repressive leaders in the world.
Online calls of dissent have been growing rapidly over the past few days, with Facebook groups calling for "Uprising on February 17" doubling in popularity.
So, now the street chaos has come to Libya. Well, here's one country where I can, in good conscience, heartily root for the rioters. If anyone in this world deserves to be dragged through the streets, it's Muammar Gaddafi. We still owe him big time for Lockerbie.

Res Musica (France)
'Horn sounds, in the evening, from the depths of the bush'
It must have been the passion of two great Australian horn-players for such a CD to see the light of day; a program almost exclusively devoted to French music for horn and orchestra! Besides the young soloist, Ben Jacks, the conductor Barry Tuckwell is a renowned master of the instrument. Do the names of Dukas, Kœchlin, Saint-Saëns and Damase have an 'exotic' connotation for our Australian friends? Or do Australians demonstrate a greater curiosity to explore this repertoire than we do? Whatever the reasons, let's celebrate this unusual release which shows off to advantage this unknown corner of French music and does so very well indeed!
In the absence of other recordings, it seems good to consider the scores themselves when four of the six works presented here are world premieres! Perfectly tonal and written in a style worthy of the heritage of Poulenc, Ravel or Jean Françaix, the music of Damase sounds a little bit 'retro'. The Concerto pour cor et orchestre, composed in 1995, is a perfect example: well-crafted orchestral writing (in which the conductor, the dedicatee Barry Tuckwell, evidently delights), great rhythmic agility and a profound sense of lyricism are the principal facets. The third movement, Andante, is abundant with echoes of Hollywood and replete with wild melodies. When one realises that the witty Jean-Michel Damase is also an enthusiast of pastiche, one almost smiles whilst listening to Ben Jacks drawing velvety tones from his instrument that carry us to the world of The Horse Whisperer. It's the same with Rhapsodie.
Villanelle and Poème illustrate perfectly the orchestrating art of Paul Dukas and Charles Kœchlin. As for Saint-Saëns' Morceau de concert (Concert piece), it is, well, a concert piece. It's a sort of musical meringue really...having only one purpose: to showcase the soloist. Ben Jacks shines in it, alternating extraordinary virtuosity with beautiful musicality. The program concludes with another meringue—this time with a wallaby flavour—the rather improbable Phantasy for horn and orchestra by a certain G.L.W. Marshall, composer born in London and who made his career in Melbourne in the 1900s.This CD is a splendid affair where French charm vies with a certain touch of kitsch. The recording is sumptuous and the two Australian outfits, Orchestra Victoria and The Queensland Orchestra, are led with brio by Barry Tuckwell.
As an aside, one couldn't miss the cover image; a very successful illustration of 'British' humour and quite unexpected!

Minneapolis chooses a name
by quad rust
A name can easily be taken for granted. For a city, a name is one of its most defining characteristics, inseparable from the city itself in the minds of its inhabitants. But even old New York was once New Amsterdam and Minneapolis is not the first or the second name by which people have called the city. Perhaps it will not even be the last.
Reyataotonwe is unlikely to have been the first name for the Dakota village that stood along the shore of Lake Calhoun, but it was the village's name when missionary Gideon Pond arrived and is the oldest known name for any settlement on the land where Minneapolis now stands.
One could possibly argue that the cluster of teepees that made up Chief Cloud Man's community is hardly the same city that would later house half a million people and raise buildings taller than any tree, but it was a beginning. Many towns in Minneapolis kept the names the Dakota had originally given the places, so while this article is about the history of Minneapolis, if history had been spun out differently, it could easily have been the history of Reyataotonwe.
It might be easier to argue that Minneapolis started as St. Anthony, named by the explorer Father Hennepin after his patron saint. St. Anthony sat on the east bank of the Mississippi River, unable to expand into the Indian reservation to the west. Main Street, the oldest street in the city today, was built in St. Anthony and the falls still bear that name. For a while, however, St. Anthony existed as a separate city at the same time as Minneapolis before the latter expanded across the river to absorb it.
The name Minneapolis itself didn't come into being until 1852 and only after a string of other names, including All Saints, Brooklyn, and Winona, had been discarded. It was the result of the amalgamation of two languages history never meant to combine, something a proud schoolmaster might come up with to peacock his knowledge (which is, of course, exactly what happened).
Minne, or Mni, comes from the Dakota work for water while polis signifies a city in ancient Greek. Charles Hoag, the pompous schoolmaster himself, originally spelled it Minnehapolis, combining Minnehaha (as in the waterfalls since Longfellow's literary Minnehaha wouldn't exist for three more years) and polis, but the 'h' was quickly dropped leaving us with our beloved Minneapolis as we know it today.

Biography Timeline
In 2003, Neymar moved with his family to São Vicente, where he began playing for youth side Portuguesa Santista. Then, later in 2003, they moved to Santos, where Neymar joined Santos FC. With the success of his youth career and added income, the family bought their first property, a house next to Vila Belmiro, Santos' home stadium. Their quality of family life improved, as at age 15, Neymar was earning 10,000 reais per month and at 16, 125,000 reais per month. At 17, he signed his first full professional contract, was upgraded to the Santos first team, and began signing his first sponsorship deals.
Neymar began playing football at an early age and he was soon spotted by Santos FC who offered him a contract in 2003, where he was inducted into their youth academy, which has, in the past, produced Brazilian internationals like Coutinho, Clodoaldo, Diego, Elano and Alex. He also joined the likes of Pepe, Pelé and Robinho in starting out his career at the club, nicknamed Peixe. While in the youth academy, Neymar met Paulo Henrique Ganso, becoming good friends in the process. Aged 14, Neymar travelled to Spain for try outs with the Real Madrid youth team, at the time when Real had stars like Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham, Roberto Carlos and Robinho. He did not stay in Madrid, however, as his father decided at the time that he preferred the young prodigy to keep growing up while playing at Santos.
Neymar made his professional debut on 7 March 2009, despite being only 17 years old; he was brought on for the last thirty minutes, in a 2–1 win against Oeste. The following week he scored his first goal for Santos against Mogi Mirim. One month later, on 11 April, Neymar scored the decisive goal in a 2–1 win against Palmeiras in the 2009 Campeonato Paulista semi-final first leg. In the final, however, Santos suffered a 4–2 aggregate defeat to Corinthians. In his first season, Neymar racked up 14 goals in 48 games.
Neymar continued his ascendancy in 2010, and, on 15 April 2010, he scored five goals for Santos in an 8–1 rout of Guarani in the qualifying stages of the Brazilian Cup. Following the 2010 Campeonato Paulista in which Neymar scored 14 goals in 19 games, the club were crowned champions after a 5–5 aggregate win over Santo André in the finals. Neymar was subsequently given the award for the best player in the competition. Neymar's performances for Santos have drawn comparisons to other Brazilians, including Robinho and Brazilian legend Pelé.
In 2010, Santos rejected a £12 million bid for him from English Premier League team West Ham United, and later an offer from another English club, Chelsea, reported to be in the region of £20 million. Despite Santos unwillingness to sell and Neymar himself insisting "I'm focused only on Santos", his agent, Wagner Ribeiro, indicated that Neymar's career was elsewhere, stating "He wants to become the best player in the world. The chances of him doing that while playing in Brazil are zero." Although one year later Neymar admitted, in an interview with the Daily Telegraph, that he had been happy with Chelsea's interest in him as it was a "dream" of his "to play in Europe", while also stating that at the time it had been the right decision to stay in Brazil.
On 30 November 2010, Santos sold a 5% share of future transfer fees that he would receive to an investment group, Terceira Estrela Investimentos S.A. (TEISA), for R$ 3,549,900 (€1.5 million). The previous year, his family had sold a 40% stake in Neymar's sporting rights to the DIS Esporte group who had been a long-term strategic partner of Santos' football club.
Despite his first two seasons being highly successful, having ended the 2010 season with an impressive 42 goals in 60 games, problems had been identified, namely Neymar's apparent taste for diving when tackled, rather than attempting to continue his run, and his attitude. The latter came to the forefront during a match with Atlético Goianiense, on 15 September 2010, when the Santos' manager, Dorival Júnior, appointed another player to take the penalty awarded for a foul on Neymar. His decision was based on the fact that Neymar had missed a crucial penalty during the Copa do Brasil final of that year, even if Santos went on to win. Reacting to this, Neymar turned his back on his manager, had to be calmed down by a linesman and argued with his captain, Edu Dracena. The fallout from this event was that Dorival Júnior wished to have Neymar suspended for two weeks, but the board sided with the player and promptly sacked the manager. Despite Neymar's apologies over the incident, some doubts still remain about his attitude. In December 2010, aged just 18, Neymar came third for the 2010 South American Footballer of the Year, behind Andrés D'Alessandro and Juan Sebastián Verón.
On 26 July 2010, Neymar was selected for the first time in the Brazil senior team by new head coach Mano Menezes for a friendly match against the United States to be played in East Rutherford, New Jersey. On 10 August 2010 he made his debut with the national team in that game, aged 18 years old, starting the match and wearing the number 11 jersey. He scored on his debut after 28 minutes, a header coming from an André Santos cross in a 2–0 win for Brazil. On 1 March 2011, Neymar said: "Being on the Brazilian team is a privilege, There are some marvelous players and I'm very happy to be among them." On 27 March 2011, he scored twice in a 2–0 win against Scotland at the Emirates Stadium. During the match against Scotland, a banana was thrown onto the pitch after he scored from the penalty spot, which led Neymar to complain about 'constant jeering and an atmosphere of racism', implying that Scottish fans exhibited racism. While Scottish officials explained that Neymar had been booed solely for perceived injury-feigning, a German student who was in the stadium amongst Brazil supporters said that he threw the banana with no racist intentions. This led to the Scottish Football Association asking the Brazilian Football Confederation for an apology for the accusations made to the Scottish fans. Neymar refused to apologise or retract his words, claiming he "did not accuse any person or any group of supporters".
In September 2011, Santos club president Luís Ribeiro threatened to report Real Madrid to FIFA following reports that they had attempted to sign Neymar to a pre-contract agreement, and denied that such an agreement was in place. On 9 November 2011, Neymar and Santos agreed to a contract extension that would see the player stay with the club until after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The deal reportedly increased Neymar's wages by 50%, to the levels that top European clubs would be paying him. On 14 December 2011, Neymar scored the opening goal for Santos as they defeated Kashiwa Reysol 3–1 in the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup at the Toyota Stadium in Toyota, Japan, but failed to score against Barcelona in the final on 18 December 2011, where Santos were defeated 4–0, finishing as runners-up in the competition. He won the 2011 FIFA Puskás Award for scoring a solo goal in the Brasileirão Série A against Flamengo, in a 5–4 loss. On 31 December 2011, he won the 2011 South American Footballer of the Year award for the first time, by a record margin, following in the footsteps of Diego Maradona, Romário, Pelé and Zico.
Neymar has a son, Davi Lucca, born on 13 August 2011, with former girlfriend Carolina Dantas. He has a very close sibling relationship with his sister Rafaella Beckran, and cemented this platonic closeness by tattooing her face on his arm, while Beckran tattooed her brother's eyes on her arm.
On 5 February 2012, when he turned 20, Neymar scored his 100th goal as a professional football player, against Palmeiras in the Campeonato Paulista. On 25 February 2012 – he scored two goals, one of which was from 25-yards – and created two assists to help his side to a 6–1 win over Ponte Preta. On 7 March 2012, Neymar netted a hat-trick as Santos saw off Brazilian rivals Internacional 3–1 in the Copa Libertadores Group stage match. On 29 March, he scored a brace against Guaratinguetá in a 5–0 victory. In the fixture against São Paulo on 29 April 2012, Neymar scored a hat-trick with the match ending 3–1. Thereafter, he went on to score twice in the first and second legs in the 2012 Campeonato Paulista Finals against Guarani, which ended 7–2 on aggregate. Neymar finished the 2012 Campeonato Paulista with 20 goals and was voted the Best player and Best Forward, and Santos were crowned champions. He was joint top scorer in the Copa Libertadores with eight goals, after Santos were beaten over two legs by eventual champions Corinthians in the semi-finals.
On 25 August 2012, he scored a brace in the 2–1 away win at Palmeiras. On 3 November 2012, in the Brasileiro Série A away fixture at Cruzeiro, Neymar scored a hat-trick and assisted Felipe Anderson's goal, to help his side to a 4–0 win. Neymar finished off the 2012 season in style, first setting-up Victor Andrade's equaliser, then scoring twice, to give Santos a 3–1 home win over Palmeiras on 1 December 2012. Neymar was voted the Best Player of the 2012 Recopa Sudamericana, with himself scoring in the second leg to win the title 2–0 on aggregate. He finished the 2012 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A with 14 goals and being voted the Best forward. Neymar finished the 2012 season, being award the Golden Ball, Arthur Friedenreich Award and Armando Nogueira Trophy. He was one of three finalists in the 2012 FIFA Puskás Award and finished runners-up behind Miroslav Stoch. He won the 2012 South American Footballer of the Year, retaining his award and winning it ahead of the likes of Ronaldinho.
On 11 May 2012, Neymar was selected for the squad of the Brazil Olympic football team to participate in the London 2012 Olympic Games. In Brazil's first warm-up match on 20 July 2012, against the host nation Great Britain at Riverside Stadium, Neymar was involved in both goals of a 2–0 win, first making an assist with a free-kick into the six-yard box for Sandro's header, before converting a penalty.
On 26 July 2012, Neymar scored his first goal of the 2012 Summer Olympics in Brazil's opening fixture against Egypt, which ended a 3–2 victory for Brazil. In the following match against Belarus at Old Trafford in Manchester, Neymar scored a free-kick from 25-yards into the top-right corner of the goal and set up goals for Alexandre Pato's header with a cross from the right and Oscar with a back heel as Brazil secured their place in the quarter-finals with a 3–1 win. Afterwards he said: "I scored and made two assists so for me it was perfect".
On 5 August 2012, in the quarter-final encounter against Honduras, Neymar scored a penalty, his third goal of the tournament and assisted in Leandro Damião's second goal on the match, to help Brazil to a 3–2 victory at St James' Park and book a place in the semi-finals. On 11 August, Brazil lost 2–1 to Mexico in the final at Wembley Stadium in London.
Neymar scored his first full international hat-trick on 10 September 2012, in an 8–0 win over China at the Estádio José do Rego Maciel in Recife. On 19 September, Neymar scored the winner against Argentina in a 2–1 win in the first leg of the 2012 Superclásico de las Américas at the Estádio Serra Dourada in Goiânia, Brazil.
Neymar has become an icon in promoting Brazilian modern pop music, particularly Música sertaneja. The video in which Neymar dances in the Santos locker room dancing in front of teammates carrying his recorder making the round of the players and making them react to the tune of Michel Teló's hit "Ai se eu te pego!" went viral. He made a point of performing his dance antics to the song after scoring goals in football games and appeared live with Teló in one of the latter's concerts. He also supported sertanejo singer Gusttavo Lima performing live with Lima on renditions of the singer's hits "Balada" and "Fazer Beber". In 2012, he made cameo appearances in the music video for yet another sertanejo hit "Eu Quero Tchu, Eu Quero Tcha" by João Lucas & Marcelo. In 2013, Neymar appeared on a rap music video, "País do Futebol" by MC Guimê.
Neymar started the 2013 Campeonato Paulista scoring twice in the first match, which ended a 3–1 win over São Bernardo on 19 January 2013. Four days later on 23 January 2013, Neymar scored again against Botafogo in a 3–0 win. On 3 February 2013, in the Paulista fixture against São Paulo, where Santos won 3–1, with Neymar scoring and making two assists. on 18 March 2013, Neymar told that he had a "dream of playing in Europe, for a big club like Barcelona, Real Madrid and Chelsea." But he went on to say, "There's no point in speculating when I'll leave Santos. I'll leave when I want to."
Neymar scored all four goals, had another disallowed and hit the post as Santos beat União Barbarense 4–0 in the Paulista on 13 April. On 25 April 2013, his agent and father revealed that Neymar intended to leave for Europe before the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Ahead of his last match for Santos, on 26 May against Flamengo, Neymar was in tears during the national anthem.
On 24 May 2013, Santos announced that they had received two offers for Neymar. The following day, Neymar announced he would sign with Barcelona on 27 May 2013 and join the team after playing in the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup. Neither Neymar nor the clubs released details on the transfer fee or personal terms, save to say he signed a five-year deal. On 3 June 2013, Neymar was unveiled by Barcelona after passing medical tests and signing a contract that would keep him at the club through June 2018.
On 30 July 2013, Barcelona drew 2–2 against Lechia Gdańsk in a pre-season friendly; Neymar made his unofficial debut when he came on as a substitute. He scored his first goal for the club in a 7–1 win against a Thailand XI on 7 August. at the Rajamangala National Stadium
On 8 May 2013, Neymar was rated by SportsPro magazine as the most marketable athlete in the world, ahead of Lionel Messi (2nd) and Cristiano Ronaldo (8th). The same month, Neymar launched the Nike Hypervenom football boot. In November 2012 advertising agency Loducca, created Neymar's own personal brand logo, featuring the N, J and R (Neymar Junior) with the N styled to match Neymar's shirt number 11. Neymar starred in a 2014 advert for Beats with other global football stars including Thierry Henry and Luis Suárez, with the theme of 'The Game Before The Game' and the players pre-game ritual of listening to music.
Neymar appeared on the cover of Time magazine in February 2013, the first Brazilian athlete to do so. The issue included an article by Bobby Ghosh entitled "The Next Pelé" and subtitled "How the career of Brazilian football star Neymar explains his country's economy".
In April 2013, Brazilian cartoonist Mauricio de Sousa released a Monica's Gang comic book featuring a younger version of Neymar (called Neymar Jr.) as the main character.
In May 2013, SportsPro magazine named Neymar as the most marketable athlete on the planet for the second consecutive year. He topped the list ahead of Lionel Messi, Rory McIlroy, Usain Bolt and Cristiano Ronaldo, among other sportspeople. The list measures the monetary value, the age, the force in domestic markets, the charisma and their market potential in the next three years. In March 2015, Neymar had the fourth highest social media rank in the world among sportspeople, behind Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and David Beckham, with 52 million Facebook fans. He has over 140 million Instagram followers, the third highest for a sportsperson (after Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi), and inside the top 10 most followed people. In ESPN's list of active sportspeople in 2016, Neymar was ranked the fourth most famous athlete in the world. In April 2017, Neymar was included in the Time 100, Time magazine's list of the most influential people in the world. In 2019, ESPN again ranked him the world's fourth most famous athlete.
In January 2014, the prosecutor's office in Madrid began investigating the transfer fee that Barcelona paid for Neymar. The documents submitted to the authorities on request contained contradictory information. On 23 January 2014, Rosell resigned from his position as president. A day later, the details of the transfer were revealed by Barcelona; the transfer had in fact cost them €86.2 million (£71.5 million), with Neymar's parents confirmed to have received a €40 million sum. In the aftermath, Barcelona and Bartomeu were charged with tax fraud.
On 13 September 2014, after appearing as a substitute, Neymar scored his first two goals of the 2014–15 season, helping Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao 2–0. On 27 September, he scored a hat-trick against Granada in a 6–0 win and scored in his next three La Liga matches, including the opening goal in a 1–3 loss to Real Madrid at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.
On 5 March 2014, Neymar scored a hat-trick in a friendly win against South Africa in Johannesburg. He made headlines for his conduct after the final whistle when a South African boy ran onto the pitch. As security staff began to escort the boy from the field, Neymar intervened and introduced him to his Brazil teammates before they lifted him in the air during their celebrations.
With captain Thiago Silva ruled out through injury, new coach Dunga decided to make Neymar captain and confirmed on 5 September that the forward would stay on as skipper on a permanent basis. On 14 October 2014, Neymar scored four goals in one game for the first time in his international career, scoring all of Brazil's goals in 4–0 friendly win against Japan at the National Stadium, Singapore. At the age of just 22 years, Neymar had scored 40 goals in 58 internationals, and had become the fifth highest goalscorer for his national team. On 26 March 2015, Neymar scored Brazil's second goal in a 3–1 friendly win over France in Paris.
To mark the World Cup commencing in Brazil, in June 2014, Neymar appeared with supermodel Gisele Bündchen on the front cover of Vogue's Brazilian edition. In November 2014, Neymar appeared in FIFA's "11 against Ebola" campaign with a selection of top football players from around the world, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Xavi and Didier Drogba. Under the slogan "Together, we can beat Ebola", FIFA's campaign was done in conjunction with the Confederation of African Football and health experts, with the players holding up eleven messages to raise awareness of the disease and ways to combat it.
On 24 January 2015, Neymar scored twice and assisted two more goals in a 6–0 win at Elche. On 28 January, he scored his 20th goal of the season in a 3–2 Copa del Rey quarter-final win over Atlético Madrid. On 4 March, Neymar scored twice in Barcelona's 3–1 Copa del Rey semi-final win over Villarreal to qualify the club for its 37th Spanish Cup final. On 21 April, Neymar took his tally to 30 goals for the season by scoring twice in Barcelona's 2–0 Champions League quarter-final win over Paris Saint-Germain.
After securing the league title on 17 May with a 1–0 win over Atlético Madrid at the Vicente Calderón, Barcelona defeated Athletic Bilbao 3–1 at Camp Nou in the 2015 Copa del Rey Final on 30 May, with Neymar scoring the second goal for Barça. With Barcelona's victory likely, he performed tricks with the ball in the final stages of the game, which was deemed unsporting by opponent Andoni Iraola. Barcelona manager Luis Enrique claimed that it had to be understood that such behaviour was acceptable in Brazil, while Neymar himself did not apologise.
On 6 June 2015, Neymar scored the third goal for Barça in the 3–1 Champions League Final defeat of Italian champions Juventus at Berlin's Olympiastadion, ensuring the club won its fifth European Cup. This made Barcelona the first club in history to win the treble of domestic league, domestic cup and European Cup twice. On a personal note, he became the eighth player in football's history to win both the Copa Libertadores and the UEFA Champions League, and the first player to score in final victories in both competitions. Neymar ended the season with 39 goals in all competitions and 10 in the Champions League, making him joint highest scorer with Cristiano Ronaldo and teammate Lionel Messi in the latter competition. He was the first player apart from those two to top the competition's scoring list, since compatriot Kaká in 2006–07. Barcelona's attacking trio of Messi, Luis Suárez and Neymar, dubbed "MSN", ended with 122 goals, the most in a season for an attacking trio in Spanish football history.
On 14 June 2015, in Brazil's opening Copa América fixture, Neymar scored the equaliser and assisted the stoppage-time winning goal by Douglas Costa as Brazil came from 0–1 down to beat Peru 2–1 in Temuco. After Brazil's second match, a 0–1 loss to Colombia in Santiago, Neymar was booked for handball, resulting in a suspension. After the final whistle, he was red carded for deliberately kicking the ball at Pablo Armero, and as a result was pushed over by Colombian striker Carlos Bacca, who was also dismissed. CONMEBOL issued Neymar with a four-match ban, ruling him out for the remainder of the tournament, in addition to a $10,000 fine.
Due to having the mumps, Neymar was expected to miss the 2015 UEFA Super Cup and the 2015 Supercopa de España. On 17 October, Neymar scored four goals in Barcelona's 5–2 home win over Rayo Vallecano in La Liga, taking his total to eight goals for the season. On 21 November, Neymar scored one and provided a back heel assist for Andrés Iniesta in Barcelona's 4–0 away win against Real Madrid. He scored twice in a 4–0 home win over Real Sociedad on 28 November, taking his La Liga total to 14 goals in 12 games. On 30 November, Neymar was shortlisted for the 2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or alongside Messi and Ronaldo, and subsequently came third. On 22 May 2016, Neymar scored a late goal in Barcelona's 2–0 extra time win over Sevilla in the 2016 Copa del Rey Final at the Vicente Calderón, as the club celebrated winning the domestic double for the second consecutive season, following their treble victory from the previous season. The front three of Messi, Suárez and Neymar finished the season with 131 goals, breaking the record they had set the previous year for most goals by an attacking trio in a single season.
On 2 April 2017, Neymar scored his 100th goal for Barcelona in his 177th appearance for the club, netting in a 4–1 win over Granada. On 27 May, Neymar scored in the 2017 Copa del Rey Final, his 105th goal for the club, as Barcelona defeated Alavés 3–1 at the Vicente Calderón in Madrid.
On 3 August 2017, Barcelona announced that Neymar's legal representatives made a payment of €222 million to the club, equal to the release clause of his contract, which constituted the most expensive transfer ever. The club informed UEFA so that they can determine any disciplinary responsibilities that may arise from this case. According to the BBC, in Spain, the release clause must be activated by the footballer himself. The situation was unusual, in that the fee was paid to the club directly, after La Liga had refused to receive the payment. Usually, the buyout clause is deposited with La Liga in order to release the player from his contract, and the league then passes the money to the selling club. However, La Liga rejected the payment—citing violation of Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules by PSG, who are backed by money from Gulf state Qatar.
On 27 August 2017, FC Barcelona filed a lawsuit against Neymar, demanding he return the contract renewal bonus he received as well as €8.5 million in damages and an additional 10% for the arrears. They claimed they are owed money that Neymar received as part of a renewal bonus when he signed a new contract in 2016. The club also requested Paris Saint-Germain to take on the responsibility for the payment of the fees if the player cannot do so himself. Neymar's lawyers announced that they will contest the case.
During a 3–0 defeat of rivals Olympique de Marseille on 25 February 2018, Neymar fractured the fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot. He travelled to Belo Horizonte and underwent a successful operation on his foot. He failed to make another appearance for PSG while recovering from the injury, and consequently ended his first season in Paris with 28 goals in 30 matches.
On 12 August 2018, Neymar scored PSG's opening league goal of the 2018–19 season in a 3–0 win over Caen at Parc des Princes. Neymar scored from a penalty in his next game as PSG won 3–1 against Guingamp in Ligue 1. In the following league game, the front three of Neymar, Mbappé and Cavani all scored in a 3–1 win over Angers at home, with Neymar scoring from Mbappé's cut back and setting up Cavani to score the opener.
On 3 October 2018, Neymar scored a hattrick in a 6–1 win over Red Star Belgrade in a Champions League group stage fixture. He suffered a foot injury in late January 2019 that kept him out of his side's Champions League round of 16 tie against Manchester United F.C. After United eliminated PSG, Neymar went on Instagram insulting video review officials for awarding a stoppage-time penalty to United. UEFA banned Neymar for three matches for the insult.
In May 2018, Neymar was named in Tite's final 23-man squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. On 3 June 2018, he made his international comeback after a three-month absence from a foot injury and scored a goal in a 2–0 win over Croatia in a friendly match at Anfield. The following week, he became Brazil's joint-third highest goalscorer alongside Romário when he scored his 55th international goal in a 3–0 friendly win over Austria. In Brazil's second World Cup match, played against Costa Rica at the Krestovsky Stadium, Saint Petersburg, on 22 June, Neymar scored the team's second goal in injury time as Brazil won 2–0. The goal, his 56th for Brazil, took him third in the all-time scoring chart behind only Pelé and Ronaldo.
However, Neymar also has been known and criticised for his excessive diving when tackled by another player for which Pelé has said, "[h]e is a player with a body that can't take a lot of hits. [...] A lot of times he will fall because he can't do anything else, but he was overdoing it." He continued: "Even when he is fouled, he can't make a spectacle out of it". During the 2018 World Cup, Neymar's antics inspired on social media the Neymar Challenge for dramatic dives. As the star player for Brazil (and PSG) he is often the most targeted player on the field; he was the most fouled player in Europe's top leagues in 2018. A divisive figure in world football, he has been accused of exaggerating injury, with Eric Cantona stating Neymar is a "great actor", comparing him to a wheeled suitcase: "you barely touch it, and it turns round and round for hours." In response to the criticism over his petulance and histrionics, Neymar starred in a post 2018 World Cup commercial where he admitted to not being able to deal with his frustrations which contributed to theatrics while on the pitch and promised to change for the better. He has also struggled with injuries throughout his career.
On 27 April 2019, Neymar scored in the 2019 Coupe de France Final against Rennes, but Rennes made a comeback and won on penalties. After the match, Neymar was caught on video appearing to punch a spectator in the face. The spectator had been filming and insulting PSG players. PSG said they supported Neymar "100 percent" over the incident. Neymar admitted he was wrong, but argued that neither he nor anyone else could have stayed indifferent. PSG coach Thomas Tuchel responded: "It's not easy to climb the stairs after a defeat. [...] If we lose, we must show respect. You can't come into conflict with a spectator."
In July 2019, Neymar was absent from training with PSG, with the club talking disciplinary action. Prior to the transfer deadline in late August, Neymar agreed to stay at PSG after talks broke down over a return to Barcelona.
Neymar made his first appearance for PSG in the 2019–20 season on 14 September 2019, in a 1–0 victory over Strasbourg in Ligue 1. He scored the winning goal in injury time in the second half from a bicycle kick. One week later, he again scored a late winner, as PSG defeated Lyon 1–0 at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais.
In May 2019, Neymar was included in Brazil's 23-man squad for the 2019 Copa América on home soil. On 5 June, however, he suffered an ankle injury in a 2–0 friendly win over Qatar and was ruled out of the tournament, with Neymar expected to miss four weeks due to the injury.
On 10 October 2019, Neymar played his 100th match for Brazil in a friendly draw 1–1 with Senegal in Singapore. On 13 October 2020, he scored a hat-trick in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Peru, which Brazil won 4–2. He reached his 64th international goal and surpassed Ronaldo as the nation's second highest goalscorer of all time.
In July 2019, police announced that a rape investigation against Neymar would be dropped due to insufficient evidence.
Neymar suffered a hamstring injury in October while on international duty with Brazil, and returned to play for PSG during their Champions League group match against Real Madrid on 26 November in a 2–2 draw. On 18 February 2020, in the Champions League Round of 16 against Borussia Dortmund, he scored a crucial away goal in the first leg at Signal Iduna Park, as PSG lost 2–1. In the second leg, Neymar's side defeated Dortmund and made a comeback of their own in the Champions League, winning the match 2–0 (3–2 on aggregate). He scored a header from a corner taken by Ángel Di María and also made a play which lead to his teammate, Juan Bernat, scoring the second goal.
Neymar won his third league title after PSG were awarded Ligue 1 as the season finished early due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On 24 July 2020, in Paris Saint-Germain's first professional game back after the pandemic, Neymar scored his side's lone goal in a 1–0 win over Saint-Étienne in the Coupe de France Final, winning his second Coupe de France title with the club. On 31 July, Paris Saint-Germain won the 2020 Coupe de la Ligue Final 6–5 on penalties over Lyon, following a 0–0 draw after extra time, which saw the side complete a domestic treble, with Neymar netting one of the penalties in the shoot-out. In the Champions League quarter-final against Atalanta on 12 August, he assisted the equalising goal in injury time in an eventual 2–1 win. In the semi-final against Leipzig, he assisted one goal in a 3–0 victory, which saw PSG reach the Champions League final for the first time in its history; PSG eventually lost out 1–0 to Bayern Munich on 23 August.
Neymar missed out on the first match of the 2020–21 season because he had tested positive for COVID-19 a week earlier; PSG went on to lose the game against Lens by a score of 1–0. However, he returned to training before the match against Marseille on 13 September 2020. PSG lost Le Classique for the first time since 2011 as OM were victorious 1–0 in a match that had 14 yellow cards and 5 red cards handed out by the referee, including one of each to Neymar. He was involved in an altercation with Álvaro González at the 97th minute of the match, in the midst of a brawl that erupted between the PSG and OM players. Neymar reported being racially abused by Álvaro, after being sent off for hitting him in the back of the head.
In the aftermath, Neymar hit back on social media, as the Spanish defender denied saying any racist comments during the match. On 16 September 2020, Neymar was handed a two-match ban for his actions; the LFP also began an investigation into the alleged racist comments made by Álvaro. Several days before the decision made by the French league, Spanish radio station Cadena SER claimed to have footage of Neymar racially abusing OM player Hiroki Sakai. On 30 September 2020, the LFP decided that both Álvaro and Neymar would receive no suspensions, because proof of their wrongdoings were insufficient. Additionally, the day after the ruling, Sakai denied on social media that Neymar had made racist comments toward him.
Neymar scored his first two goals of the season in a 6–1 win against Angers on 2 October 2020. He entered the list of the top ten goal scorers in PSG history by doing so, scoring his 72nd for the club, which put him level with Raí. On 28 October 2020, Neymar suffered an adductor injury in a match against İstanbul Başakşehir, leaving the pitch after 26 minutes of play.
On 2 September 2020, it was reported that Neymar, along with PSG teammates Ángel Di María and Leandro Paredes, tested positive for COVID-19. The French sports newspaper L'Équipe said that the three players reportedly went on vacation in Ibiza. As a result, they were quarantined for one week, and the rest of the players and working staff were scheduled to take a coronavirus test within the same week.
In 2011, he had a son named David Lucca with Carolina Nogueira Dantas. Neymar has had an on-off relationship with Brazilian actress Bruna Marquezine since 2013.

An average of 400 "criminal illegal immigrants" are being released every 10 days by the newly elected sheriff in Arizona's most populous county, federal law enforcement sources tell Judicial Watch, many of them violent offenders. It's part of Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzone's new policy to protect illegal aliens, even those who have committed serious state crimes, from deportation. Under a longtime partnership between the county and the feds, the Phoenix field office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was notified when "aliens unlawfully present with additional Arizona charges" were released from the Maricopa County Jail, which is one of the nation's largest with a population of about 8,000. That ended when Penzone, who refers to illegal immigrants as "guests," took office this year and, though he formally announced the change last week, it was put into practice much earlier.
During a recent 10-day period, more than 400 criminal illegal immigrants were released from the Maricopa County Jail, according to federal law enforcement officials directly involved in the process in Phoenix. Weekdays are the busiest, with an average of about 40 criminal illegal aliens getting released from Maricopa County Jail facilities, the sources said. On weekends the number drops to about ten each day. The illegal aliens have state criminal charges ranging from misdemeanors to felonies, driving under the influence and drug offenses. "There's no telling how many criminals he's (Sheriff Penzone) putting on the streets," said a high-ranking federal law enforcement official stationed in Arizona. Judicial Watch's calls to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office were not returned.

Here again we see the complete disconnect between the reality of what the enemedia and left-wing authoritarians want you to believe and what is real. The enemedia was all over President Trump's cautionary remarks concerning Sweden's disastrous migration policy, attacking him for telling the truth.
They will not be all over this news story.
Trump was ridiculed by many after he gave a speech Saturday citing Sweden among a list of European countries affected by the scourge of Islamic terror. Referring to the massive number of Middle Eastern refugees that have poured into the country, Trump said Sweden was "having problems like they never thought possible." Some Swedish politicians openly derided Trump's portrayal of the country – but riots in the heavily Muslim neighborhood of Malmo on Monday evening put an end to most of the mockery.
This is the same type of explosive device used by the Boston marathon jihad bombers and the NYC Muslim bomber who exploded three bombs and planted several explosive devices in New York and New Jersey.
The incident happened at the Vélizy 2 shopping centre, just outside of the French capital.The area around the mall was placed on lockdown with cops directing traffic away.Local reports state that security guards raised the alarm after spotting two suspicious men entering the centre.
80% is a yuge number. In polling terms, that's almost astronomical.
80% of the American people almost never agree on anything. Yet that's the number of respondents who want to end sanctuary cities in favor of local law enforcement reporting illegals to the feds.
That's the top line of a new Harvard–Harris Poll, which contains some very good news for Trump and some very bad news for Democrats.
80% believe that cities which arrest illegals should be forced to turn them over to the feds.
88% have heard of Trump's immigration orders, and 52% support them.
75% of voters support increasing the number of border patrol agents.
53% support Trump's travel ban, and the number jumps to 60% if you remind respondents that it targets "7 Muslim-majority" countries.
51% believe we should be taking in fewer Syrian refugees.

Jeff Gennette, CEO of Macy's, is determined that the retailer shop will return to the same-store sales growth this year. This after the company came from a strong end last year.
Meanwhile, department stores have been struggling to hold their place in the retail industry. Since more sales have move online and some brands increasingly choose to sell directly to consumers. That is why businesses like Macy's have to change their store counts and merchandise mixes to meet consumers need.
According to Gennette, same-store January sales went up 3 percent.
For the fiscal year, the American department store is calling for same-store sales to be 1 percent flat.
On Tuesday, the shares of Macy's increased more than 12 percent. Meanwhile, the company's stock was last seen 5 percent.
The recent initiatives of Macy's to grow its sales is to close its unprofitable stores, reduce promotional activity, to open more off-price shops under its Backstage banner and to grow its beauty business, Bluemercury.
Gennette also said that the new U.S. tax legislation has given the department store a "flexibility" to accelerate those plans.
In other news, Walmart announced on Tuesday its plans to launch new apparel and home brands this year.
The move of the retailing giant is to make a larger splash online and to give consumers some exclusive merchandise.
According to some reports, Walmart would develop four new apparel lines and one new line of mattresses and bedding, which is known as Allswell.
Walmart stated that Allswell would mark the first digital brand of the retailing giant. The mattresses and beddings will be sold via Allswell website, AllswellHome.com.
Meanwhile, the new apparel lines will be available nationwide by Thursday through Walmart stores and online.
The retailing giant also added that by the next month, customers would see new signage for the apparel brands.
This fall, the apparel displays will be upgraded and fitting rooms will also be renovated, according to Walmart.
