In case you haven't heard – bamboo floors are ridiculously strong. Bamboo flooring is typically stronger than most other hardwoods, including oak . But not only is bamboo stronger, but it's also flexible, which, at first, you may not understand the importance of. However, the flexible nature of bamboo floors helps make it last even longer than other floors. Here's one other attribute that's specific to bamboo: since it's a tropical plant, it's naturally resistant to moisture, making it a great stain-repellant floor.
As if that weren't enough, there's another reason why bamboo floors are becoming more and more popular. Their look is truly unique. Bamboo floors have a striking look because they are a finished grass. Their nodes create darkened bands that make each piece unique.
While there are many ways where bamboo differs from other hardwood flooring, one area where it shares similarities is with their array of sizing choices. Bamboo flooring is cut into planks which can have a variety of length and width dimensions to match your needs and vision.
The environment is a sticking point in flooring, which makes bamboo flooring head and shoulders above the rest. Bamboo is harvested as a grass, meaning that a plant can produce the grass without ever needing to be cut down. Furthermore, a bamboo plant reaches maturity in 5 years, meaning that it is a renewable resource.
There's no question that bamboo is a hot choice in flooring these days. They are strong, beautiful, and environmentally friendly. Come see what all the fuss is about.

History of The West of Slovakia – Trencin and Trencin Castle
Trencin is one of the three oldest Slovak towns, located in the western part of Slovakia in the middle of the beautiful hilly countryside of the White Carpathians, Povazsky Inovec and Strazovske Hills, only about 120 km north of the capital Bratislava. Thanks to its strategic and geographical location in the valley of the Vah River, Trencin had always belonged to the most important towns in Slovakia.
Trencin and the Romans
At the beginning of our era, when the Romans pushed the boundaries of their empire closer to the Danube River and built their ingenious system of fortifications called Limes Romanus, they gradually set up fortified camps north of the Danube, too. In Trencin they left the original proof of their presence – the memorial inscription on the vertical wall of the castle rock commemorating the victory of emperor Marcus Aurelius and his son Commodus over Quads in Laugaricium in 179 AD. According to the Latin text on the inscription 855 Roman soldiers of the II. legion led by legate Maximilian were fighting in Trencin back then. The battles were part of a major military conflict taking place between 166 and 180 AD, so called Marcomanni wars.
Trencin in the medieval times
First traces of the town lying underneath the massive castle date back to 1111 when it was a market settlement. The history of the town and its castle were closely connected in the following centuries. The town was ravaged during the invasion of Tartars in 1241. The good days came after 1275 when the castle became property of an important magnate Peter Cak, but mainly at the end of the 13th century when his son Matus Cak became ruler of almost the whole territory of present-day Slovakia. The town obtained various privileges and rights in the medieval times. King of the Hungarian Empire, Sigismund of Luxemburg, who also had Bratislava Castle turned into an impregnable gothic defense fortress, promoted Trencin to a free royal town in 1412.
Trencin Castle
Trencin Castle is a splendid landmark and the dominant of the city. There was an administrative centre of the adjacent region on the site of today's castle in the period of the Great Moravian Empire (approx. 900 AD). The castle was built in the 11th century as a border fortress guarding the important fords across the Vah River and the Carpathian passes which were the trade routes linking the north of the Hungarian Kingdom and its midland mining towns like Banska Stiavnica or Kremnica with Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia and Poland. In the following centuries the castle became the seat of the border administrative unit, Royal and later Noble County. Today, there are expositions of Trencin Museum inside its ancient inner premises.
Trencin at present
After 1989 the town has gradually changed into a very modern and welcoming city. The historical centre has been reconstructed; you can enjoy your meal and drink in one of the cozy restaurants on the central pedestrian zone in the nice and clean environment and with an outstanding view of the castle. If you plan to visit Slovakia, Trencin and Trencin castle are definitely worth a visit!
Some more places to see in Trencin
The historical city centre
Parish stairs leading from the square to the church – built in 1568
Funeral chapel and ossuary of St. Michal next to Parish Church – the only preserved Gothic building in Trencin
The original Town Gate from the 15th century
Lower Gate (Turkish) – typical by the Gothic arch with two Latin inscriptions and the coat of arms. One of the inscriptions says: "If God does not guard the city then the one who does it does it in vain"
Roman inscription on the castle rock from 179 AD
Neologic Jewish synagogue from 1913
Baroque Piarist Church of Francis Xaver
Evangelic Church
Executioner's house with a torture chamber – Matusova street, city centre

I don't remember first hearing about Brit Bennett's debut novel, "The Mothers," by I remember the buzz building throughout 2016. It helped that Riverhead (the publisher) designed a fantastic-looking tote based on the cover art to help promote the book, but too many early reviewers were raving about this for the popularity to be based solely on good marketing. In fact, so many early reviewers raved throughout the year, that by the time its October publication rolled around, I felt I was the last to read it! Luckily, Book of the Month offered it as an October selection, so I was able to get my hands on a copy quickly.
I ended up saving it for my honeymoon when I could devote my full attention to it. This was the right choice for the wrong reason. this book is engrossing. Bennett writes simple, accessible, but beautiful prose. Once I started, I could not put it down. Luckily, I was able to focus on reading it in 24 hours while on vacation!
The novel opens in a small black church community in Southern California, shortly after Nadia Turner's mother has committed suicide and Nadia has started a relationship with Luke, the preacher's son. Soon, Nadia gets pregnant and decides to have an abortion. Though their abortion is kept a secret, its ramifications ripple through the years, impacting their relationships with each other, their families, their friends, and the larger church community.
The church mothers collectively narrate the book, offering their commentary and perspective that has been shaped largely by rumor. Yet the book offers more than a rumination on secrets within a community, exploring also the evolution of a powerful female friendship and how our struggles and secrets can unite or isolate us from those we love most.
Verdict: Affirmed. One of the best books I read in 2016, I highly & widely recommend this debut novel.
"The Mothers" by Brit Bennett, published October 11, 2016 by Riverhead Books.

James Eric Davis Jr.: Facts to Know About Central Michigan University Shooter
Second Nexus Staff
In the morning hours of Friday, March 2, 2018, sophomore James Eric Davis Jr., 19, opened fire on his parents at his fourth-floor dorm room at Central Michigan University. James Davis Sr., 48, and Diva Davis, 47, were found dead inside the Towers residence hall Friday morning with no indication of what had transpired to lead to the shooting.
After killing his parents, Davis Jr. fled the scene of the crime and, as of late afternoon on Friday, was still not in police custody. Central Michigan University and businesses in Mount Pleasant remained on lockdown while a manhunt for the killer continued.
Here's what we know about the shooter:
Those That Knew Him Are in Shock

Those that seemed to know James Eric Davis Jr. are indicating quite the opposite and are quick to attest to his kind-hearted and quiet personality. After police identified Davis Jr. as the suspect in the death of his parents, friends took to Twitter in disbelief.
Twitter user @MikeHoodMadeIt claimed to have just interacted with Davis in the days leading up to the event, stating "[Y]ou never really know what people are going through on the inside." One of Davis' neighbors, Myles Turn (@Swaggym_33), took to the social media platform with a video message (seen below) about the shooter's personality.

Pitch-Up Incident on Air Canada Boeing 737 MAX Opens Baggage Loading Probe
Ajinkya Gurav
LONDON – Transportation Safety Board of Canada has probed the baggage loading condition of Boeing 737 MAX 8 after an incident involving premature pitch-up during take-off at Vancouver Airport on 19th December 2021, whilst en-route to Edmonton.
This incident occurred when Air Canada flight, AC234 was accelerating for take-off when the nose "rose unexpectedly" as mentioned by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada in its report.
The authorities further asserted that the pilots were able to hold the nose down and continued the acceleration for take-off, after which the flight landed safely at its destination airport in Edmonton.
After a thorough investigation by the agency, it was concluded that the baggage hold had around 89 items of luggage that were placed in the aft hold, in contrast to the final loading documentation which showed that the items were loaded in the forward hold.
Based on the Transportation Safety Board's report, Air Canada has launched a full-scale internal investigation.
The report concluded by stating that, the aircraft involved in the incident was registered as 'C-GEKX' and was delivered to the airline in November 2021.
The situation was successfully controlled by the pilots and all 160 passengers and crew members landed at Edmonton without any injury.

My friend Abby shared this recipe with me!
Think Reese's Peanut Butter Cups only 100 times better!
Combine butter (melted), powdered sugar, graham crackers, and peanut butter.
Add M&M's to add a seasonal flair!
Be sure to cut these bars about 10 mins. after you put them in the refrigerator to prevent the cracking like you see in the photo here.
a friend made these and brought them to my house for a football party. O. M. G. !!!!
He was sweet enough to share your blog and recipe with me.
Oh wow! That is so great to hear! I LOVE THESE TOO! Thanks for stopping by!
If you add a teaspoon of peanutbutter to the chocolate as you melt it, it won't crack when you cut it even after you refrigerate them.
Thank you SO much!!! What a great tip!


In the meantime? We have a newcomer to the field, the Bailang River Bridge Ferris Wheel in China's Shandong Province. It's notable for something it lacks: spokes. Doesn't sound like much 'til you get a look at it, and the overall effect is uncanny: How's it work? According to Lonely Planet, the project's engineering is radically different from your typical Ferris wheel: "It operates by moving the carts on a running gear mechanism across the central wheel, which unlike typical Ferris wheel designs, is stationary." (One chief design inspiration was, apparently, kites.) The wheel is about 30 feet taller than the London Eye, and each of the 36 carts has wifi and a TV screen.
Construction is essentially complete, with safety checks underway. Let's let them take their time with that.

The Peculiars by Maureen Doyle McQuerry: Book Review
The Peculiars
by Maureen Doyle McQuerry
Reading level: Ages 12 and up
Publisher: Amulet Books (May 1, 2012)
This dark and thrilling adventure, with an unforgettable heroine, will captivate fans of steampunk, fantasy, and romance.
On her 18th birthday, Lena Mattacascar decides to search for her father, who disappeared into the northern wilderness of Scree when Lena was young. Scree is inhabited by Peculiars, people whose unusual characteristics make them unacceptable to modern society. Lena wonders if her father is the source of her own extraordinary characteristics and if she, too, is Peculiar. On the train she meets a young librarian, Jimson Quiggley, who is traveling to a town on the edge of Scree to work in the home and library of the inventor Mr. Beasley. The train is stopped by men being chased by the handsome young marshal Thomas Saltre. When Saltre learns who Lena's father is, he convinces her to spy on Mr. Beasley and the strange folk who disappear into his home, Zephyr House. A daring escape in an aerocopter leads Lena into the wilds of Scree to confront her deepest fears.
The Peculiars was, in fact, peculiar, which I like. Though lacking in the romance department (tease!), it certainly makes up for it in the world-building and creative cast. I think this is a great book for those who love clean fantasy, alternate histories, and a touch of steampunk.
The Cover:
I happened upon this book on Netgalley, after seeing the original cover, and thinking it looked interesting. I like the new cover, but wish they would have stuck with Lena on the front instead of one of the supporting characters. I do like the added steampunk element to this cover, though.
The Wild West World of Fantastical Steampunkery:
This was a really interesting world. I wasn't exactly sure of the time period, but it kind of made me think of the Wild West, kind of like Wild Wild West with Will Smith, especially with the Steampunk elements. But it also had a strange twist of fantasy, with goblins, and other "Peculiars" including people with wings, which made it all the more interesting. Maureen Doyle McQuerry did a fantastic job of pulling me into this world and helping me picture it all in my mind.
The Peculiar Peculiars:
Lena was a character. I really liked her personality and her spunk. She is ambitious, and head-strong, and won't let anyone stand the way of her finding the answers she needs. I really liked reading about her, and watching her discover more about herself and about all the Peculiars. I also really liked reading about the other types of Peculiars, which I won't go into detail about as not to spoil anything, but it made me think of Melissa Marr, Holly Black, or Laini Taylor's creatures.
Eww....Feet!
One thing that was kind of hard for me was that Lena had really long/large hands and feet. I don't know about you, but I am NOT a foot person. I don't want to look at feet, I don't want to touch feet, and I don't want to hear about feet, even typing it right now is giving me the shivers! And Lena's feet are talked about a lot. Every time I would think about it, I would cringe! For me, the "F" word, is feet. Am I strange??
Romance Fail:
Something I felt was sorely missing, especially since it's specifically mentioned in the summary, was romance. There was some build up, and there is a little tension, but overall, the romance just wasn't really there. I have to say, I did love Jimson Quiggley. He was like the perfect hot nerdy boy. Haha! Sometimes he would be so consumed with his work that he almost seemed absent-minded, but he was so good to Lena, never letting the prejudices of others impact the way he felt about, or treated her. I hope, if there's a book 2, that their relationship will be further explored. Lena really needs to be kissed!
Great for Younger Teens:
I really think this book would be fantastic for those that are just getting out of Middle Grade Readers, and are ready to dip into YA, without taking the full plunge! With fantasy, adventure, mystery, and very little romance or profanity, this book is sure to please the younger teen crowd.

Delphi Programming Language – Past, Present and the Future
Posted by KOL-MCK
Programming language has a variety of types, one of which is Delphi. Development tool projects tend to work with code names, Delphi was one of many at Borland.The project sought to provide database connection for programmers as one of the main things to work with in programming language. The Borland marketing leadership preferred another name but after a company released an application with a name like what they preferred, there were discussions and a market survey, this caused them to all opt for Delphi which was popular among the development team.
Changes with Delphi Programming Language
Borland moved the Delphi development tools division to CodeGear in 2006, but in due course, it was sold to Embacadero Technologies in 2008. Embarcadero was bought by Idera in 2015, but Embarcadero managed to retain the developer tools division.
Delphi like many other applications has had its versions upgraded, some of which are: Delphi 1, Borland Delphi 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, CodeGear Delphi 2007 and more.
Embacadero after the acquisition of Delphi, added new features in 2009, permitting full Unicode support among other things, it was named Embarcadero Delphi 2009. After that, other upgrades were done and the names of some versions were Embarcadero Delphi 2010, Embarcadero Delphi XE, Delphi Starter Edition, Embarcadero Delphi XE2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and so on.
Borland was said to have channelledresources to developing the company's Application Lifecycle Management tools while the development tools branch suffered neglect. This might have made them lose the grip on the Delphi Programming Language, causing the public interest to wane.
From 2009 to 2016, Embarcadero has stayed on top of its game upgrading versions and investing in Delphi.Each version released has had a different edition and has been updated with new features. This shows the willingness to improve by Embarcadero which caused sales to rise at some point.
In 2016, Delphi for Linux also came to be. There were questions on whether the possibility to enable and disableAutomatic Reference Countingwas incorporated into the models in relation to well matched break with existing code. This will be discovered by the users.
Annually, a two-day event of Delphi Programming Language activities is organised such as trainings, meetings and conferences. In 2016, it held at different locations in the United States and Europe.
Although Delphi is no longer very popular, it is still mentioned by developers for its flexibility and prolific language such that the developers do not struggle with the development platform.
As a result of the many changes and concerns people have had about Delphi Programming language, in 2014, it was anticipated that Delphi would fizzle out but it is still in use and for the future, Delphi Programming Language still features on lists as one that programmers should always know. Working as a programmer, the knowledge of a wide range of programming languages is relevant as this always gives an advantage to whoever works in that domain.

Nvidia is rising as its GPU technology conference kicks off

Rick Wilking/Reuters
Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference kicks off Tuesday in California, with CEO Jensen Huang expected to take the stage at noon Eastern time.
The stock was one of the best-performing of 2017, and investors will be looking for updates from the company on a range of business units including gaming chips, AI, and self-driving cars.
Shares of Nvidia were up just over 1% in early trading Wednesday as the company's GPU Technology Conference — one of the most highly anticipated artificial intelligence events of the year — kicks off in San Jose, California.
CEO Jensen Huang is scheduled to take the stage at 9am Pacific Time (12 pm Eastern) to deliver a keynote address to the conference's expected 8,000 developers from over 50 countries, the company says.
He is expected to touch on many of the company's key drivers, including automotive, data centers, and gaming. Gaming has recently come into the spotlight for Nvidia, as its chips were being gobbled up like crazy at the height of the crypto craze during the end of 2017 and early 2018. Cryptocurrency miners made it nearly impossible for people to find the crucial components for PC gaming.
"We expect a very upbeat tone from the company, particularly in light of the truly solid string of results the company has continued to deliver," BMO Capital Markets analyst Ambush Srivastava said in a note to clients on Monday ahead of the conference.
"Among the areas highlighted, we see a particular emphasis on the inferencing market in AI, updates to the architecture for gaming, and on new developments such as ray-tracing for gaming."
BMO has a target price of $225 for shares of Nvidia — roughly 9% below the stock's opening price of $247 Tuesday, and well below Wall Street's average target of $250.
The conference is also a chance for over 20 startups to show off their products to potential investors, including Nvidia itself.
MIT estimated last year that Nvidia has spent around $3 billion of its own money on research and development, but it's also investing in smaller companies and startups working on AI applications.
In an interview with Markets Insider last year, Jeff Herbst, Vice President of Business Development for Nvidia, explained that the company's portfolio was in "early innings," but has invested in more than 20 companies focused on everything from self-driving cars, to GPU-powered deep learning and more.
Nvidia was one of the Nasdaq's top-performing stocks of 2017, and is up 21.9% since the beginning of 2018.

Cash-in-Transit attacks reach all-time low but threat of violence remains
Despite attack levels reaching an all-time low in 2013, falling victim to attack and robbery remains a very real threat for the security industry's Cash-in-Transit couriers according to the latest statistics published by SaferCash (the Cash-in-Transit intelligence service of the British Security Industry Association).
Transporting around £500 billion every year – the equivalent to £1.4 billion every day – the UK's Cash-in-Transit industry performs an essential public service, keeping cash moving around the country and in turn supporting banks, retailers and businesses by facilitating millions of transactions every day.
The number of attacks on Cash-in-Transit couriers reached a record low last year, with just 270 attacks taking place. This represents a 30% decrease when compared to 2012, and an impressive 75% decrease on the all-time high figure of 1,060 attacks in 2009.
The number of attacks on Cash-in-Transit couriers reached a record low last year, with just 270 attacks taking place
James Kelly, CEO of the British Security Industry Association (BSIA), commented: "These consistent year-on-year successes are testament to the continued joint efforts of industry, Government and the Police in tackling this serious and violent crime. However, it's the violent nature of this crime – and its significant impact on victims – that's the driving force behind all stakeholders' efforts to reduce both the number and impact of Cash-in-Transit attacks. The statistics contained in this latest report highlight the vital importance of all stakeholders' continued commitment to this cause."
Risk of violence
Looking closer at the risk of violence faced by couriers, it's clear that – despite an overall reduction in the number of attacks – serious injury is still a very real threat to couriers.
While overall injury rates have decreased since 2012, almost a quarter of attacks in 2013 (24%) resulted in some kind of injury, while the proportion of attacks where firearms were used or intimated has risen from 10% in 2012 to 14% in 2013.
Steve Hurst, head of SaferCash, explained: "For couriers going about their daily duties, these figures can never be far from their minds. It's for this reason that we as an industry, along with our colleagues in Government and police forces across the country, cannot afford to rest on our laurels."
Established in 2007, SaferCash is a security initiative which aims to reduce the number of attacks on Cash-in-Transit couriers through the effective sharing of intelligence between the industry and police forces nationwide.
Operated by the BSIA, SaferCash provides a national framework for information and intelligence sharing between individual police forces and security personnel, while also providing essential and immediate support for Cash-in-Transit crews who witness a suspicious incident.
Building a partnership between industry and the police has afforded SaferCash the ability to identify linked offences and spot where organised crime groups (OCGs) are active across force boundaries. In the case of Cash-in-Transit, these groups are operating on an increasingly nationwide basis, impacting on local communities and often using the proceeds of their crime to fund other criminal enterprises such as drugs or human trafficking.
Continued commitment to the cause
Despite the contribution of Cash-in-Transit crime to the wider criminal network, the impact of robbery is most keenly felt by those who suffer directly as a results of the attack. It's the protection of victims and prevention of future attacks which remain the driving forces behind all stakeholders' continued commitment to reducing the level of Cash-in-Transit crime.
James Kelly: CEO at the BSIA
James Kelly concluded: "Often, couriers suffer extreme and unforgettable violence. They demonstrate admirable bravery in delivering this essential public service. My thoughts remain with all of the couriers who suffered attacks last year. Preventing others from experiencing the same physical and psychological harm is the driving force behind our ongoing commitment to reducing Cash-in-Transit crime even further in 2014."

Jeremy Maclin won't be playing this season. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports (via Twitter) that the veteran wideout is set to undergo a "procedure on a hamstring/glute injury that's kept him from working out for teams." The 30-year-old won't be able to return in time for the 2018 season, but he's expected to be ready for the 2019 campaign.
The former Pro Bowler had tweaked his hamstring during training sessions, but reports from mid-September indicated that he was close to being healthy. Maclin reportedly had offers in hand prior to training camp, and Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets that teams were continuing to monitor the wideout. They only definitive interest in the wideout was the Eagles, who had Maclin on their radar during the offseason.
Following two seasons in Kansas City, Maclin joined the Ravens prior to the 2017 season. In 12 games with Baltimore, the wideout hauled in 40 receptions for 440 yards and three touchdowns. With the veteran set to have a $7.5MM cap hit for the 2018 season, the Ravens released Maclin back in March.
By the time the upcoming offseason comes around, Maclin will be three seasons removed from his last 1,000-yard season. A team looking for a veteran presence could take a stab at the wideout, but it's unlikely that he'll be able to garner more than a one-year deal for the minimum.
Free agent wide receiver Jeremy Maclin is close to being healthy after suffering a hamstring/glute injury in training, Mike Garafolo of NFL.com (on Twitter) hears. Garafolo expects Maclin to have some workouts and visits soon as teams have been keeping tabs on his situation.
Maclin had offers in hand before NFL training camps began, but he was waiting for the "right opportunity" before signing. The Eagles had Maclin on their radar at one point, but it remains to be seen whether they'll still have interest after turning back the clock with Jordan Matthews.
Maclin, 30, was a dynamic deep threat for the Eagles as he averaged nearly 1,000 receiving yards per season in Philadelphia, including a 1,300+ yard showing in 2014. He topped 1,000 yards in his first season with the Chiefs in 2015, but his production fell off over the last two years. Between those campaigns with the Chiefs and Ravens, Maclin played in just 24 total games and averaged only 42 receptions, 488 yards, and 2.5 touchdowns per year.
The veteran could find employment once he hits the workout circuit, though he'll probably have to settle for something close to the league minimum.
Veteran wide receiver Jeremy Maclin is still a few weeks away from full recovery after tweaking his hamstring during a training session, but he still hopes to play in 2018, as Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets.
Maclin reportedly had offers in hand prior to training camps getting underway, per Schefter, but was waiting for the "right opportunity" before signing. Whether that means Maclin is searching for a larger contract or more playing time is unclear, but the only club to have expressed reported interest in Maclin was the Eagles, who had Maclin on their radar at one point.
Maclin, 30, was once a perennial threat to eclipse 1,000 receiving yards and double-digit touchdowns, but his production has dwindled in recent seasons. From 2016-17 (which he split between Kansas City and Baltimore), Maclin played in just 24 total games and averaged only 42 receptions, 488 yards, and 2.5 touchdowns per year. Last season, Maclin ranked as a bottom-10 receiver in Football Outsiders' DYAR and DVOA, meaning he was ineffective both overall and on a per-play basis.
At this stage of his career, it's difficult to imagine Maclin garnering anything other than a one-year deal near the minimum salary. Given that he won't be fully healthy until after the regular season begins, teams won't have to worry about Maclin's salary becoming guaranteed in Week 1 (as it would have had he made an opening roster as a vested veteran).
While they don't have much depth at wide receiver (especially after losing promising rookie Deon Cain to a torn ACL), the Colts are not currently interested in adding a veteran pass-catcher such as Dez Bryant or Jeremy Maclin, general manager Chris Ballard told Mike Florio on Pro Football Talk's podcast (link via Andrew Walker of Colts.com).
The Colts project to deploy T.Y. Hilton, Ryan Grant, and Chester Rogers as their top three receivers, but the depth chart following that trifecta is relatively barren. Fifth-round pick Daurice Fountain could conceivably log playing time, as could a cavalcade of other options including K.J. Brent, Kasen Williams, Seantavius Jones, James Wright, Matt Hazel, and Zach Pascal, among others.
Bryant, for his part, has drawn limited interest since being released by the Cowboys earlier this year. His recent dalliance with the Browns doesn't appear to be heading for an accord, and he's reportedly "not on the front burner" in Cleveland. Maclin, meanwhile, was on the Eagles' radar at one point, but no official meeting ever took place.
Ballard did not completely rule out signing Bryant or Maclin at some point down the road, admitting each would be "on the list" of free agent receivers the Colts would call if more depth is required.
Whenever we explore a specific transaction in our "This Day" series, we tend to focus on deals from several years ago. However, for today, we only have to go back one calendar year to find a notable move on the transaction report.
One year ago today, the Chiefs decided to part ways with wideout Jeremy Maclin. The move was relatively surprising at the time, and it definitely wasn't anticipated when the veteran initially signed the lucrative contract back in 2015.
The 2009 first-round pick had five productive seasons in Philly, including a 2014 campaign where he compiled 1,318 receiving yards en route to a Pro Bowl birth. Maclin had bet on himself following the 2013 season, inking a one-year, $6MM deal ($3.5MM guaranteed) that would allow him to hit free agency in 2015.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs were hunting for a wideout. The 2014 squad had a solid offense, headlined by quarterback Alex Smith, running back Jamaal Charles, and tight end Travis Kelce. However, the team's depth at receiver was lacking, with Dwayne Bowe showing his age and the platter of young wideouts failing to progress.
Maclin was seeking a big payday, and the Chiefs were willing to spend on a top wideout. The pairing seemed natural, and the two sides ultimately agreed on a five-year, $55MM contract during the 2015 offseason. Maclin's first season in Kansas City was solid, although it didn't live up to his dynamic 2014 campaign. A torn groin limited the veteran to only 12 games in 2016, and he proceed to establish then-career-lows in receptions (44), yards (536), and touchdowns (two).
Then, one year ago today, the Chiefs suddenly gave up on the veteran wideout. His underwhelming production in 2016 certainly contributed to this decision, as did the emergence of fellow wide receiver Tyreek Hill. The organization was also strapped for cash, and the move cleared $10MM in space for the team (along with $2.4MM in dead cap).
The Chiefs didn't end up missing Maclin last season, as they finished as one of the top-five offenses in the NFL. Maclin went on to sign with Baltimore, where he set more career-lows with 40 receptions and 440 yards. Maclin was released by the Ravens back in March, and the 30-year-old has yet to find a new home.
The Chiefs didn't really suffer any long-term financial issues due to the Maclin signing. However, instead of releasing him one year ago today, we're sure both sides would have preferred if Maclin was still producing at a high level on his initial contract.
Of course, Kaepernick's situation is more complicated than the rest. Lately, the only updates we've heard regarding Kaepernick have been tied to his pending collusion case against the NFL. Former teammate Reid is certainly closer to the NFL radar after an April meeting with the Bengals, but he also believes teams are shying away from him due to his participation in anthem protests. Reid filed a grievance of his own against the NFL in May and has been spotted working out with Kaepernick.
Unfortunately for Murray and Peterson, filing a grievance for age bias against running backs is not an option. The Titans kicked Murray to the curb in March and he has not found a new NFL home despite meeting with the Lions, Seahawks, and Dolphins since his release. Peterson has lobbied the Texans, Saints, Packers, Panthers, Dolphins, and Rams to sign him, but we have yet to hear of any reciprocated interest from those clubs. Given Peterson's reluctance to be on the lower end of a timeshare in New Orleans last year, one has to imagine that Peterson will not be a real consideration for teams unless a starter gets injured in camp. Murray could be a more attractive option for teams. Although he averaged just 3.6 yards per tote with the Titans last year, he contributed in the passing game with 39 receptions.
Bryant says he has no regrets about turning down a three-year, $21MM offer from the Ravens, but right now it looks like he blew his opportunity at a solid free agent deal. Reportedly, many teams are unwilling to consider him for even the league minimum, so it seems unlikely that he'll find the lucrative one-year contract he's seeking. On the plus side, his former employer says multiple teams have checked in on him.
Things have been eerily quiet for Maclin after he was displaced by the Ravens, though the Eagles and Cowboys considered him internally in the spring. We also haven't heard a peep about Decker since his spring meetings with the Raiders and Ravens. Both players are roughly in the same boat – they were 1,000-yard receivers in 2015, but they are on the wrong side of 30 and haven't done much on the field in the last two years. Still, both profile as low-risk/high-reward signings.
We ranked Barwin as a top-10 free agent pass rusher when the market opened, but he hasn't drawn a ton of interest over the last 12 weeks. The Rams reportedly expressed interest in re-signing Barwin in mid-March, but they have since revamped their front seven and there is little room for additions. The rival Cardinals kicked the tires on him in April, but for one reason or another, they did not add him to a unit that ranked 17th in pressure rate and 24th in adjusted sack rate in 2017. Barwin played on 71% of L.A's defensive snaps last year, but the advanced metrics indicated that he was among the worst qualified pass rushers in the NFL. A team less focused on metrics and more focused on veteran leadership would do well to add Barwin as he enters his age-32 season.
Bowman graded as the Raiders' best linebacker by a wide margin last season, which makes his ongoing unemployment a bit perplexing. Coach Jon Gruden didn't rule out a reunion with Bowman even after signing former Chief Derrick Johnson, but that seems somewhat unlikely at this juncture.
DRC was on board with the Giants' plan to move him to safety, but was not okay with their request for him to take a significant pay cut. The advanced metrics showed that DRC was still on the fringe of being a starting caliber corner in 2017, so it's not a given that teams will ask him to make a late-career shift to safety. However, his willingness to change positions should bode well for his chances of hooking on with a contender, provided that he can explain his quirky behavior last season.
Breeland may have the least household recognition of any player on this list while having the most on-field potential. Breeland was one of the top cornerbacks on the market in March and agreed to a three-year, $24MM deal. Days later, the Panthers 86'd the deal due to an infected cut on his foot that prevented him from passing a physical. As a four-year starter for the Redskins who only just turned 26, Breeland would be a welcome addition to any secondary in need of help. Unfortunately, he'll have to settle for less than the $8MM average annual value of his nixed Panthers contract. The Colts and Cardinals met with Breeland in May, but we haven't heard anything on that front in the last couple of weeks.
While Reid's anthem protests are likely at the heart of his unemployment, it's hard to explain the ongoing free agency of Vaccaro and Boston. It has been a rough offseason for veteran safeties on the whole, but Vaccaro offers five years of starting experience while Boston is coming off of the best season of his NFL career. In a recent poll, PFR readers estimated that Vaccaro will be the first of the free agent safeties to sign. Boston, who had five interceptions in 2017 and had a recent meeting with the Cardinals, could beat our prognosticators.
The Ravens are releasing Jeremy Maclin, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (on Twitter). Maclin now joins an underwhelming crop of free agent wide receivers, which could help his cause as he looks for a new team.
Maclin had 40 catches for 440 yards with three touchdowns last season. It was the lowest output in catches and receiving yards in his career. Maclin was selected to the Pro Bowl while with the Eagles in 2014, setting career highs in receptions (85) and receiving yards (1,318).
The 29-year-old was in the second year of a two-year, $11MM deal signed with the Ravens last offseason after being cut by the Chiefs. He was set to have a $7.5MM cap hit toward this season. Maclin was due a $1MM bonus if he was still on the Ravens' roster Friday.
The decision to cut Maclin comes a day after the Ravens agreed to deals with John Brown and Ryan Grant. Brown should help replace the speed threat presented by Mike Wallace, who's an unrestricted free agent this offseason. Grant caught a career-best four touchdowns with the Redskins last year.
Maclin joins a wide receivers market that features Wallace, Jordy Nelson, Terrelle Pryor and Eric Decker. Maclin was a fairly reliable option through his first five years in the league, which came with the Eagles who drafted him 19th overall in 2009. He played in at least 15 games in four of those seasons and had 60-plus catches in four of the seasons as well before signing with the Chiefs in 2015.

Sudan blocks civil society participation in UN-led human rights review
(31 March 2016) The efforts of the Government of Sudan to obstruct the engagement of civil society activists in a United Nations (UN)-led human rights review of the country is unacceptable and shows blatant contempt not just for human rights defenders in Sudan, but to human rights standards and the UN Human Rights Council, 36 Sudanese and international groups and seven prominent Sudanese individuals said today.
Four representatives of Sudanese civil society were intercepted by security officials at Khartoum International Airport on their way to a high level human rights meeting with diplomats which took place in Geneva today, 31 March. The meeting was organised by the international NGO, UPR Info, in preparation for the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Sudan that will take place in May.
The four civil society representatives were travelling via different routes to Geneva between 23 and 28 March. In each case, plain-clothed officers from Sudan's National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS) approached them after they had checked in, and before they proceeded through passport control, and confiscated their passports.
The four representatives – prominent human rights lawyer Mr. Salih Mahmoud Osman, Director of Asmaa Society for Development Ms.
Sawsan Hassan Elshowaya, President of the Human Rights and Legal Aid Network (HRLAN) Dr. Muawia Shaddad, and President of the Sudanese Solidarity Committee Mr. Siddig Yousif – have not been informed of any reasons for the travel bans.
"Sudan should immediately return the passports and allow the free participation of civil society in the UPR Process without fear of reprisal or intimidation", the 36 Sudanese and international groups and seven prominent Sudanese individuals said. "The recent flagrant actions of the NISS are symptomatic of a broader strategy to intimidate and harass human rights defenders and independent civil society actors who may be critical of the human rights situation in the country".
The signatory organisations also called on the President of the Human Rights Council, Ambassador Choi Kyonglim, to exercise his responsibility to intervene with the Government of Sudan, ensure that all restrictions are lifted and that Sudanese human rights defenders and civil society organisations can participate in the UPR of Sudan freely and without fear of arrest, detention, harassment or reprisals.
Under Sudan's National Security Act of 2010, Sudanese Security agents are granted broad powers of arrest and can detain individuals for up to four and a half months without judicial review, well in excess of international standards. This and other laws have been used by the authorities to intimidate and silence human rights defenders, journalists, members of political opposition, and others.
Powers of search and seizure granted under the 2010 Act are also routinely used by the NISS to undermine freedoms of association, expression and peaceful assembly, including the obstruction or cancelling of civil society events and public forums, the confiscation of assets belonging to civil society organizations, and censorship through the confiscation of entire print runs of newspapers.
"The Human Rights Council and its Member States should condemn the severe restrictions on human rights defenders and other members of civil society in Sudan, including the reprisals for engaging with UN mechanisms", the organisations said. "States should call on Sudan to immediately cease arbitrary restrictions on independent civil society, and ensure that human rights defenders can work in a safe and enabling environment, including by making the necessary reforms to the National Security Act of 2010."

AAN: Professional Soccer Players Show Increased Risk for ALS
THURSDAY, Feb. 28, 2019 — Professional soccer players may have an increased risk for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), according to a study scheduled for presentation at the upcoming annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology, to be held from May 4 to 10 in Philadelphia.
Ettore Beghi, M.D., from the Instituto Mario Negri in Milan, and colleagues identified all professional soccer players who practiced in the period from 1959 to 2000, representing an exposed cohort. Incident ALS cases were identified among these soccer players during 1959 to 2016. Using a well-defined Italian population for reference, the expected incidence rate was established as the number of cases expected per 100,000 persons-years. The ratio between the observed and expected incidence rate was the standardized incidence ratio (SIR).
The researchers found that 33 soccer players developed ALS, while the expected number of cases was 17.6. The SIR was 1.9 and 4.7 in the entire sample and in those aged younger than 45 years at diagnosis, respectively. Diagnosis occurred at a median of 43.3 years compared with the median age of ALS onset of 62.5 years in the general population.
"It is important to note that repeated traumatic events, heavy physical exercise, and substance use could also be factors in the increased ALS risk among soccer players," Beghi said in a statement. "In addition, genetics may play a role."

Due to the heavy snowfall and popular demand, Whistler Blackcomb confirmed on Tuesday that it would be extending the closing date for Whistler Mountain from April 18 to April 25, the last day of the Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival.
Blackcomb will remain open until May 24 as planned. The Whistler Mountain Bike Park is still focused on a May 15 opening.
According to Whistler Blackcomb spokesperson Tabetha Boot, the April 18 closure was considered necessary to perform maintenance on the Peak 2 Peak Gondola and Whistler Village Gondola in time for summer sightseeing.
"The reason why (we decided to stay open) is guest feedback and demand, but we were also able to shuffle the maintenance schedule to keep Whistler open an extra week," she explained.
"We have a limited window to work on both lifts, but by shuffling things around we were able to stay open a little later in April without pushing back our timeline to reopen in May."
The Peak 2 Peak will close as scheduled for maintenance after Sunday, April 18, but visitors can still upload via the Whistler Village Gondola until the following Sunday, April 25. The Creekside gondola will close as scheduled on April 19.
The winter season is still going strong with more than 80 cm of snow falling over the past week and a snow base over 360 cm. The 2009-2010 season is also the third-snowiest on record with 1,350 cm of cumulative snowfall. Whistler Blackcomb is closing in on the second-snowiest record at 1,416 cm.
