Thursday: Biden Says Trump Has 'Put Israel In Danger.' Friday: Trump Announces ANOTHER Arab Country Normalizes Relations With Israel.
By Hank Berrien

On Thursday, while speaking at an event organized by the rabidly anti-Israel group J Street, former Vice President Joe Biden snapped that President Donald Trump had "put Israel in danger" by withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal. He also insinuated that Trump has put American Jews in danger because he has "embraced" conspiracy theories.
Biden's timing was hilarious considering that on Friday, Trump announced that Bahrain became the latest Arab country to normalize relations with Israel, following the United Arab Emirates having done so in August.
Joint Statement of the United States, the Kingdom of Bahrain, and the State of Israel pic.twitter.com/xMquRkGtpM
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 11, 2020
Biden stated, "Trump has put Israel in danger by tearing up the Iran nuclear deal, and replaced it with nothing. Iran is closer to a [nuclear] weapon than when we left office in 2017. And instead of Iran being isolated, we are the ones being isolated."
Biden's supposed concern for Israel while ripping Trump, who is undeniably the greatest friend in the Oval Office Israel has ever had, is laughable considering Trump's record vis-à-vis Biden's. Under Trump's stewardship, the United States recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital, moved its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, helped foster open relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, and stated that Israel had the right to keep the Golan Heights, an absolutely imperative move to protect Israel's security, among numerous other things.
Biden, on the other hand, favored the Iran nuclear deal, which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vehemently opposed. Biden added on Thursday, "Israel should stop expanding West Bank settlements, stop talk of annexation. Annexation is off the table now, which is a good thing."
Biden opposing Israeli settlements is no shock at all; in 1982 Biden reportedly banged on a desk and berated Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin that if Israel continued building settlements in Judea and Samaria, the U.S. would cut off financial aid. Begin fired back:
Don't threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work. I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid.
Begin added:
This desk is designed for writing, not for fists. Don't threaten us with slashing aid. Do you think that because the U.S. lends us money it is entitled to impose on us what we must do? We are grateful for the assistance we have received, but we are not to be threatened. I am a proud Jew. Three thousand years of culture are behind me, and you will not frighten me with threats. Take note: we do not want a single soldier of yours to die for us.
In November 2019, Biden was asked if he would reverse President Trump's decision to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. He replied,"Not now. I wouldn't reverse it. I wouldn't have done it in the first place."
Biden, whose party is rife with figures associated with anti-Semitism, also stated on Thursday, "We see with so many of the conspiracy theories that poison our public sphere, that unlike every other president in modern history, Donald Trump has embraced them and egged them on. He can't lead America, he can't protect it, so now he's trying to scare the living hell out of people instead."

Old Post Road
In the winter of 1603-1604, Antonio Neri left Italy to visit his friend Emmanuel Ximenes in Antwerp. There is no way to know the exact path he took, but based on the advice in Ximenes' letters and on well-established trade routes; a good estimation can be made. It is likely that Neri was starting from Pisa. The path suggested by his friend took the priest first back east to Florence, then perhaps through Bologna, Ferrara and Padua to Venice. Ximenes offered to make arrangements for Neri to travel from Venice with traders headed to the Frankfurt fair held at mid-lent. There would have been plenty of time for him to celebrate Advent in Florence and Christmas in Venice before his caravan headed north. The group could have left as late as the end of January.
Ximenes suggested that Neri travel with the courier from Florence to Venice. He was referring to the system of coaches that delivered the mail throughout Habsburg Europe, run since the early 1500s by the De Taxis family. While the Medici and other heads of state maintained their own fast couriers for diplomatic and military messaging, the De Taxis had a monopoly on almost every other piece of correspondence, a privilege for the family that was later extended to other parts of the world by the Holy Roman Emperor. They ran an efficient system well into the eighteenth century. An elaborate series of 'posts' were set up at intervals, where tired horses were watered and swapped for fresh steeds and riders so that the journey could continue uninterrupted. Independent travelers could partake in the system for a fee based on equipment required and the weight of luggage. In Neri's time, accounts were settled at each post and travelers could elect to stay over in a town and pick up a later expedition. On well-established popular routes like between Florence and Rome, travelers could pay a flat rate that included lodging and meals. If Neri had traveled light and spoke some German, he might have completed the entire journey in as little as ten days; the time letters from Venice to Flanders took to arrive. However Ximenes advice suggests a longer excursion.
I would recommend that you should go with the courier from Florence to Venice, arriving in Venice in time that you would be able to accompany the merchants who come to the fair held in Frankfurt at mid Lent; you will stay there the length of the fair for fifteen days, which will not displease you for having seen it. After that, you would go in the company of other merchants to Cologne, and then with them or others, by land or sea to Holland, ending up at this city. This sea, however, is nothing more than rivers. I recently went by land to Basel and from there by water ending here. But for Your Lordship, who does not speak the German and Flemish languages, I would consider better the way that I say, with merchants from Venice to Frankfurt and then with others by water to arrive here.
On Embarking from Venice, the party of traders would head west, back to Padua, on to Verona and then north along the ancient trade route through Bolzano to the Brenner Pass. The journey from Venice to Frankfurt was about 600 miles (950 km). Traveling an average of 30 miles per day, they would be on the road for three weeks. Depending on their itinerary, the journey could have varied by a week in either direction. The start of the fair was mid-lent, the date of the traditional feast held three weeks before Easter. In 1604 mid-lent Sunday fell on 28 March.
Brenner is the lowest pass across the central Alps, connecting Bolzano on one side to Innsbruck on the other and was passable year round. The distance of this, most difficult part of the journey, was about 75 miles (120 km), with a vertical climb of 4,495 ft (1,370 m), almost a full mile, but all below the tree line. Assuming a slow pace for pack animals, this segment could still be completed in less than a week, stopping in Bressanone, (Brixen), then at the alpine city of Vipiteno (Sterzing), where perhaps some extra time was taken to rest and view the nearby silver mines. Gries am Brenner was just over the pass on the Austrian side. With the majestic Wipp valley (Wipptal) at their backs, the remaining journey was down hill from there. From Innsbruck, the traders would head towards Augsburg, perhaps with an excursion through Munich, which was then the capital of Bavaria. The route from Augsburg through Wurzburg to Frankfurt was riddled with small towns accustomed to hosting traders since Roman times. After a few weeks on the road, the fair at Frankfurt would have come as a welcome diversion.
At the end of the fair, a week before Easter, Neri would start the final 250 miles (400 km) of his journey. First, he would travel over land with merchants or the Ximenes family servant to the walled city of Cologne on the Rhine River. Next, he would move by water toward the sea. The northern route, along the Rhine, avoided the military conflicts between the Dutch Republic and the Hapsburg Empire. The most dangerous were between Liege and Antwerp. From Rotterdam, the inland waterways led south to Antwerp. Priest Neri may well have arrived in time for Easter Vigil.

A major curse of modern living is the advent of mass suffering from chronic autoimmune diseases. They have become the way we live and the way we die. Now, a study published in PLoS One has documented that vaccinations may be causing this plague.
Repeated immunization with antigen causes systemic autoimmunity in mice otherwise not prone to spontaneous autoimmune diseases.
Chronic diseases are the inevitable result of vaccinations!
The mice used in this experiment were ones bred to have no autoimmune disorders, so the ability to stress them to the point of inevitably suffering from autoimmune disorders is particularly significant.
T-cells, commonly called killer cells, are a type of lymphocyte (white blood cell). They are a critical part of the immune system. CD4+ cells are a type of T-cell. They initiate the body's response to infections. The study found that overstimulation of CD4+ cells results in the induction of autoantibodies, that is, antibodies that attack the self instead of invaders. That is virtually the definition of an autoimmune disease.
The authors specifically found tissue injury like that of the disease lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune disorders.
The researchers used Staphylococcus entertoxin B (SEB) to inject mice bred for their lack of autoimmunity. Injection initially resulted in loss of energy in a particular kind of CD4+ cell, Vβ8+. These cells recovered through 7 cycles of injections. However, the Vβ8+ cells were unable to recover after the 8th injection. At that point, they started to produce the autoantibodies.
As the term rheumatoid factor seems to imply, these are significant in rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder. The last item, anti-galactose deficiency IgG antibodies, is used as a marker to diagnose the disease.
The researchers also showed that ovalbumin (OVA) and keyhole limpet hemocyanin, also induce autoimmunity after the 8th injection.
The authors included graphic images of autoimmune tissue damage from the experiments.
Immune complexes (ICs) of proteinuria are indications of autoantibodies. The image above shows the development of ICs of Immunoglobulin G (IgG), C3 (indicative of lupus erythematosus), and OVA in mice injected 12 times. As in the previous image, PBS refers to the results of the injection of a nonantigen, and the results on the bottom are injection of the known antigen, OVA. The image is of a microscopic magnification of 400X.
The next image above shows infiltration of CD8 cells in the kidneys and anti-interferon (IFN) autoantibodies in mice injected 12 times. The image is of a microscopic magnification of 300X. As in the prior images, PBS refers to injection of a nonantigen and OVA is the injected antigen.
Diffuse membranous (wire-loop) glomerulonephritis in the kidney.
Proliferative glomerulonephritis in the kidney.
Infiltration of plasma cells around hepatic bile ducts.
Enlarged lymphoid follicles with marked germinal center in the spleen.
Occasional lymphocyte infiltration into the salivary glands.
Perivascular infiltration of neutrophils and macrophages into the skin dermis of the auricle.
The authors also reported that injection of the damaged CD4+ cells into the autoimmune disease-safe mice transferred the damage to them. The implications of that are huge. It means that no one suffering from an autoimmune disorder should be allowed to donate blood, because they could also be donating their diseases.
Then comes the rest of the alphabet, including lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and frankly, too many others to list here.
With this information in hand, can there be any justification for the current extreme vaccination schedule that exists in virtually all nations today? Can there be any wonder that the industrialized nations giving the greatest number of vaccinations are those with the greatest infant mortality rates?
The information exposed by this study clarifies that there can be no justification for the push to vaccinate. There is also no justification for the lack of research into the effects of the full schedule of vaccines.
With this information, the routine injection of vaccines into children or adults is clearly unjustified.
Stress is a problem for many, likely most people in modern society. We're constantly told that it's a killer. Does that mean we should have a vaccine to stop it? That's the goal of one scientist, and when the implications of such a vaccine are considered, it's hard to believe that any tyrannical government would be able to resist it.
Just imagine—a society of happy slaves. It's every dictator's dream come true!
It's not just science fiction. It's a coming reality.
Robert Sapolsky is a neuroscientist at Stanford University in California. He started his career in the study of baboons, whose lives are controlled by a hideously restrictive hierarchy. While in Africa, he noted that the baboons at the bottom of the social order suffered great stress and lived shorter, less healthy lives.
Eventually, his research arena in Africa became polluted with too many people and all that entailed, including garbage dumps and pollution, which literally polluted his research. So, he took it up at Stanford, where he redirected his efforts into finding a way to ease stress in the belief that he'd be improving people's health.
So, rather than trying to find ways to alleviate stress, he and his team of researchers set out to find a way to stop the physical effects of stress. Glucosteroids are the hormones that create the stress response, so he focused on finding ways to circumvent them. Sapolsky and his team used genetic engineering to create a herpes virus that carries "neuroprotective" genes, but has the genes that are harmful to humans engineered out.
These so-called "neuroprotective" genes are designed to produce growth factors, antioxidants, and estrogen mimickers.
In other words, they're planning to remake a major portion of the endocrine system and produce artificial antioxidants that have not been mediated through the digestive system, and add growth factors that can stimulate cellular growth and proliferation, which sounds suspiciously like cancer.
Anything that forcibly modifies the endocrine system is playing with fire. Our hormones are in a constant state of balance. When one is changed, it has a cascading effect on other hormones and body functions. There's a reason for increased glucocortisoids in stress. Yes, it's true that their function is to help the body respond to immediate danger, and these hormones are out of place in modern society. But what's really wrong? Our bodies or society?
As Sapolsky has noted, the stress that people feel comes primarily from society's inequalities and insecurities. The things that have brought us peace in prehistorical times—having a degree of surety that we won't starve, that if we don't eat today then we'll eat tomorrow; having the support of our society when we're in need; having adequate leisure time—are no longer routine for most of us.
Worse, we've created a society of severe inequality, which leads to insecurity for nearly everyone—and it's getting worse. If we lose our jobs, will be lose our homes? Will be be able to feed our families? If we get sick, how will we pay for care? Will anyone care for us when we get old? Who's watching the kids? Children past the toddler years spend more time with their parents than ever before, resulting in more stress for both. We don't get enough sleep. We don't get enough time off. And for most people, work isn't satisfying.
The fact is that most of us are stressed most of the time. Some manage it better than others, but it's a factor in our lives.
But why would we want to change our basic nature—to force ourselves into a kind of placidity in the face of all these pressures—instead of finding a way to change our society to make it better serve us?
"In humans this engineered virus would short-circuit the neural feedback caused by stress, that lingering feeling of tension after a crisis has passed.
It would leave you fresher and ready to deal with another threat, so you can maintain your drive, but with more focused calm rather than bad temper and digestion.
No doubt it could change society—by creating a mass of people who aren't really bothered by anything, people who are calm and content in the face of unacceptable treatment. People who would make excellent slaves in a society that exists primarily to support the wealth of a very few.
Then, there is the question of how the body would react to forced changes in how it deals with stress. We feel stress because it's of value to us. It tells us that we need to do something to change our current circumstances. What better clue do we need to tell us that our society has gone mad?
Is Sapolsky's colleague right that the vaccine would result in people feeling "fresher and ready to deal with another threat" or is it wishful thinking? It strikes me that he's mixing his concepts. He's referring to threats in the same manner that hunter-gatherers would, as things that come along and then pass. But he's applying that concept in a world of constant stress. The problem isn't merely lingering tension from individual incidents, it's that the primary causes of stress are ongoing.
Even if the stress vaccine works as he's described, it would have completely unanticipated results. The problem isn't that our stress comes and goes; it's that it builds and builds. It can't go away because most of the inciting causes are constant.
Notice that the injected virus carries the ability to create artificial estrogens. We know that messing with the estrogen balance in the body is an exceptionally risky thing to do. It's associated with breast cancer. Giving artificial estrogen to women in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) resulted in exactly the opposite of what was intended: HRT increases the very conditions it supposedly prevented, including cancer and heart disease.
The injected virus contains growth factors. Just what would be induced to greater growth? More cancer? Faster growing cancer? Faster cell death? We don't really know.
We simply don't know the full range of effects that a stress vaccine would induce. It would probably take years for all them to become apparent. And when they do, will we have become a society of zombies who've lost the ability to respond to new dangers after our hormones have been so modified that we're beyond any hope of achieving health?
Vaccines carry inherent risks. All of them include adjuvants, substances that create a stronger autoimmune response. These work by causing irritations that make the immune system respond more strongly to the injected vaccine material. They can also cause autoimmune disorders, both directly from toxicity and indirectly through antibodies to substances that are normally found in the body.
Many autoimmune diseases are associated with vaccines, including rheumatoid arthritis, and at least one new disease, macrofagic myofasciitis, is known to be directly caused by vaccines. The very idea that injected squalene, which is an oil produced by the liver, is safe is ludicrous on the surface. The act of injection turns it into an invader, to which an active immune system may respond by creating antibodies against it, thus creating an autoimmune disorder.
Aluminum and formaldehyde, common vaccine ingredients, are also highly toxic. And these are only some of the additives that pose serious danger.
Although the naysayers continue to state that autism isn't caused by vaccines, the fact is that the studies purportedly proving it have been fatally flawed, and much good research does demonstrate a strong link. There is also the fact that, as new vaccines are added to the schedule, the rate of autism and associated neurological and gastrointestinal disorders rises.
Any suggestion that people should add yet another vaccine to an already intolerably large schedule takes us beyond madness.
Last, but certainly not least, is the potential of an anti-stress vaccine zombifying the populace. Stress is not, by definition, bad. Stress is nature's way of telling us that we need to make changes.
The potential of an anti-stress vaccine to create a populace that can't be aroused because the stress function has been destroyed is a terrifying specter.
If everybody is always stress-free, they'd always be mellow. They wouldn't be particularly troubled by problems in their lives, so they wouldn't be easily motivated to do anything about them. What tyrannical government wouldn't want to make its citizens so malleable? What corporation wouldn't want such complacent people to consume their products?
At its base, an anti-stress vaccine is an anti-human vaccine. It has the potential to turn the masses of people into virtual automatons, natural slaves to support an insatiable corporate appetite, lacking the ability to rebel against tyranny.
To play with a Scottish phrase, the best intentions gang oft awry. As his photo shows, Sapolsky is an iconoclast. It's too bad that his inclinations in that direction don't extend to seeing either the full implications of his idea or to a recognition that one cannot force health onto people. The more we've use drugs and the more vaccines we've gotten, the worse our health has become. Chronic diseases are now the norm, rather than the rare exception.
Rather than trying to find ways to resolve the causes of chronic stress, he's focused on a technical approach. At some point, the insanity needs to stop. If stress is a health problem, then it's because we live in a society that creates abnormal stress. The only real fix is to resolve the cause, not the symptoms.
The question of what would become of people who've lost the ability to respond to stress is never addressed—and that may be the most disturbing question of all with regard to an anti-stress vaccine. Could such a vaccine lead to a society filled with people who've lost the spark that makes them strive to form a better world? Do we want to take the risk of finding out?
Sadly, Sapolsky seems to have swallowed the poison of science as a fix for everything. He appears to be well-intentioned and genuinely desirous of helping people. But that doesn't make him right about an anti-stress vaccine.
On January 3-7, 2011, a vaccine safety conference was held in Montego Bay, Jamaica that included a diverse groups of delegates from around the world, including senior scientists and physicians, editors of scientific journals, experts in vaccine regulation, social science and health policy, consumer child health advocates, legal experts and members of the media.

(CNS): Fashion aficionados and would-be models have just two more weeks until the Cayman Fashion Solstice 3-day workshop. Produced by Guavaberry Marketing, "The Making of a Fashion Model", which runs from 15 to 17 August, is not just for models, both male and female, but is for anyone interested in the fashion industry and how it works — models, photographers, make-up artists and stylists and generally anyone interested in working or understanding the industry. Models come in all shapes, sizes and ages — Print, Runway, Magazine, Fashion, Glamour, Petite and Plus-size modeling –and the workshop will help them to understand their potential, how the industry works and how to get access to their dreams.
At the "Making of a Fashion Model" workshop, persons interested in modeling will get the opportunity to work with top stylists, photographers, modeling agency's representatives and runway coaches within the international fashion industry.
"The workshop idea came as a direct request from the public based on the success of the 2011 Solstice event and the need for formal training of our local models" said Cindy Rosan-Jones, Managing Director for Guavaberry and producer of Cayman Fashion Solstice. Some of the classes scheduled for the workshop include: runway training, working with a photographer, go-sees & casting, grooming and healthy dieting and exercise and proper make-up application.
The cost of the workshop is CI$175. Registration information can be picked up at Guavaberry Marketing (#210 Regency Court, above Havana Club).
The climax of the workshop will see the annual Casting Call for this year's Cayman Fashion Solstice event. At the Casting Call, male and female models have anopportunity to present themselves as potential models for the show. The Casting Call is scheduled for August 17th at Royal Palms, poolside. The Model Workshop will be extremely helpful to hopeful models who wish to share the runway with the international models at the 2011 event.
Requirements ask that girls be 5'8 and taller and guys be 5'11 – 6'2. The age range for girls is 16-28 and for males 17-28. Participants under 18 will need their parents' permission.
For more information view the Facebook Event "Cayman Fashion Solstice Casting Call" or email info@caymanfashionsolstice.com or you may visit us on www.caymanfashionsolstice.com.
The Casting Call is an open event and absolutely free and all are encouraged to come out and take part or just come and support Cayman's potential models.
"The Casting Call is an opportunity for our local models to come and try out for an opportunity to take part in the 2011 Solstice event. Taking part in the workshop is so important to helping you secure a position as you undergo a lot of training valuable to your career and how to present yourself at such opportunities" said Jones.
She went on to say that the Casting Call is absolutely free to attend and potential models and the general public as well are invited to be there.

NORTH PORT, Fla. - Christina Ann Gabriel, died Wednesday, March 13, 2013 surrounded by her family at Venice Regional Medical Center in Venice, Florida. She was eleven days shy of her sixty-seventh birthday.
'Tina', was born on March 24, 1946 in Brooklyn, NY. Her parents were Herbert and Helen (Salvetti) Williams. She married the late Peter J. Gabriel on February 24th 1968 in Blue Point, NY.� She briefly lived in Germany during Peter's tour of duty in the U.S. Army.� In 1972, they moved to Newport, RI to raise a family.
During her time in Rhode Island, Tina raised three children. She made life-long friends while Square Dancing with the "Town Howlers", cooking in her International Dinner Club, participating in bowling leagues, and playing in several Bridge Clubs over the years. Tina worked in several positions at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, and thought the world of her co-workers.
Never one to sit still, Tina loved to travel. There were countless family camping trips up and down the east coast. Later, she developed a passion for sailing. Her summer weekends spent guiding their 26' "Joyride" around Narragansett Bay.
Tina retired to North Port, FL with her companion Robert Harding. She was an active member of the Harbor Isles community, a member of the Grandmother's Club, and Florida Red Hat's among others. She continued to travel, which either meant cruising the Caribbean, or visiting her children and grandchildren.
Tina is survived by her 3 children and spouses: Jeffery and Elizabeth Gabriel of Franklin, MA, Matthew and Teresa Gabriel, Hot Springs, AR and Deborah and Christopher Canale, Attleboro, MA.� Tina had 2 granddaughters: Sara and Amy Gabriel. Her brother Dennis Vollmer of Clearwater, FL and her sister Toni Williams of Newport, RI also survive Tina.
Calling hours will be held on Friday, April 12, 2013, from 4 to 7 p.m. in the funeral home.

Discus and support Banned in XBoX Games and Apps to solve the problem; I got banned for no reason because i didnt do anything. but i want you to tell me how i got banned from online? 43f81d7c-19c0-40d4-aec4-9f4a7c535462 Discussion in 'XBoX Games and Apps' started by Cripdayz423, Mar 20, 2019.
I got banned for no reason because i didnt do anything. but i want you to tell me how i got banned from online?
MS Points on a banned account?
No, once an account is banned, then it is banned. banned means banned. Sorry, but you shouldn't have broken the CoC/ToS.
Most bans occur because of unacceptable behavior or content, such as lewd player emblems. On the first offense, a player receives a temporary ban from using that feature. Subsequent offenses can lead to further temporary bans or even a permanent ban.
Banned players have limited access to the game based on the terms of their ban. Bans for hacking or using a modified console blocks access to all online features of the game. These types of bans are always permanent.
Will you reverse my ban?
Currently there is no appeal process for bans. To keep your online gameplay privileges in good standing, it's best to immediately cease any unsociable behavior and wait out the ban.
How long will this ban last?
The length of bans vary on the type and number of offenses. This can be seen in the ban message that appears in game.
There are different kinds of bans an account ban and a console ban. The account ban which a communication ban is will follow your account it is not tied to the console so yes it would follow you to the One.
A console ban will not do anything to your account. Harassment is more likely to cause his account to be permanently banned rather than a console ban. But if there is a console ban it does not ban the accounts on the console.
No. If it's a permanent console ban it would remain banned. Console bans are not overturned.


On August 1, 2014, Citizenship and Immigration Canada, which is now called Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada ("IRCC"), revised the definition of "dependent child" by decreasing the maximum age from "under 22" to "under 19" and deleted the exception that existed for older children who were financially dependent on their parents and enrolled in full-time studies. However, it did not eliminate the exception for children who, regardless of age, have depended on their parents for financial support because of a mental or physical condition.
On May 3, 2017, IRCC announced that it had published regulatory changes that would again increase the maximum age of a dependent child to "under 22." The new age limit will come into effect on October 24, 2017, and will apply to new applications filed under all IRCC immigration programs, including refugees. Children who are 22 years of age or older and who rely on their parents due to a physical or mental health condition will continue to be considered dependent children.

NASA's James Webb telescope seeks to capture images of the first galaxies and stars in the universe: See it in 3D
Dylan Stableford and Henry Keyser
22 December 2021, 3:22 pm ·2 min read
The James Webb Space Telescope at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. (Kevin Lamarque/Reuters)
NASA's much-anticipated and much-delayed launch of the James Webb Space Telescope is set for Saturday, when it will lift off housed in the nose cone of an Ariane 5 rocket from a launch site in Kourou, French Guiana.
"The James Webb Space Telescope is an Apollo moment for all of NASA, for the entire world, but especially for our science programs worldwide," Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, said at a news conference earlier this week. "It's the stuff of dreams."
Liftoff from the Guiana Space Center is now scheduled for Dec. 25 at 7:20 a.m. ET, weather permitting.
Weighing a mere 13,700 pounds, the giant, next-generation telescope, which is named after a former NASA administrator, will take 29 days to reach its destination and complete a complex unfolding procedure. Months of calibration will follow before the telescope can begin taking photos of the early universe.
Click and scroll in the window below to explore how the Webb Space Telescope mission compares to the Hubble Space Telescope to go farther and see further:
For more Immersive stories click here.
The telescope will orbit Earth's second Lagrange point, which is nearly 1 million miles from Earth or four times farther into space than the moon. There, the satellite can be balanced by the gravity of the Earth and sun.
This destination is too far away to be repaired or serviced by astronauts if something goes wrong. Still, NASA believes the risk of failure is low, even with the satellite's hundreds of potential failure points while unfolding. The space telescope has taken over 30 years to develop at a cost of around $10 billion.
Webb will be able to view a larger swath of the infrared spectrum than the Hubble space telescope, launched in 1990, is able to observe.
This difference allows Webb to see older light than Hubble, photograph the first stars created after the Big Bang and see stars hidden behind clouds of space dust and gases.
Webb features many scientific advancements, including a 5-layer sun shield — teach the size of a tennis court yet as thin as a human hair — to ensure the sun's infrared light (or heat) doesn't affect the infrared light being observed from the distant universe.
The delicate operation of observing infrared light from more than 170 billion years ago requires a first-of-its-kind infrared sensor refrigerator, which NASA calls a cryocooler, to be kept extremely cold — like -448 degrees fahrenheit cold, or just 12 degrees above the coldest possible point of matter called "absolute zero." The cold helps the telescope's scientific instruments suppress infrared background "noise," according to NASA.
Webb was previously scheduled to launch Dec. 18 but the "sudden, unplanned release of a clamp band caused a vibration throughout the observatory" and forced it to be pushed back to Dec. 22. Forecast high winds caused NASA to scrap both that one and another on Christmas Eve.

December 1, 2019 Global Payroll
Finland – Income Tax Filing updates 2020
The Finnish government introduce income tax filing changes to reduce the administrative burden on small businesses and NGOs.
Coming into force from 1 January 2020
Reporting to the income register will be made easier for small operators in Finland from 1 January 2020. The Finnish government have agreed changes that will reduce the administrative burden on small businesses and NGOs.
According to the proposal, the deadline for declaring income will be extended in the case of
Fringe benefits,
Payroll advances,
Tax-free reimbursement of expenses or
One-off payments of up to EUR 200 from a registered association.
In addition, small competition awards no longer need to be entered in the Income Register in 2020 for amounts up to EUR 100. The exception is competition awards for employment or employment.
In the case of benefits in kind, the reduction would mean that they would not have to be the subject of a separate declaration because they would not be paid the same month until the following month. For example, if the January cash payout is partially or fully paid in February and the January benefit is reported as February earnings, the deadline for filing a notice would be March 5th.
For payroll advances, a reduction would mean that information on the payroll payable by the employer could be entered in the Income Register at the same time as the payroll payable, provided that the pay was made within the same calendar month. The same would apply, for example, to the salary paid to a shareholder even if the shareholder is not employed by the company.
In order to simplify the procedure for reporting information on reimbursement of expenses and reimbursement of expenses, it is proposed that tax-free reimbursement of expenses should be declared no later than on the fifth day of the calendar month following the payment date, instead of the fifth calendar day following the payment date.
Late fees introduced in 2021
The introduction of late payment fees in the Income Register will be postponed by one year. The Government proposes that the Tax Administration could impose late fees only for payments due in 2021.
Changes will also be reflected in the income tax reporting guidelines, which will be updated later in the year. The new guidance applies to reporting payouts for the year 2020 and beyond.

Kill La Kill: A serious look into Obedience and Conformity
Animation Comics TV
"What If...?" first look promo opens up the Marvel-verse to a world of possibilities
Animation Gaming TV
"Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness" series is said to be 'canon'
Animation TV
Netflix announces a new Godzilla anime series
Wacko, Jacko and Dot are back. "The Animaniacs" returns in new clip
Kill La Kill doesn't care if you are not prepared to view high-octane anime antics from the jump-off. Explosive, fast talking (Keep up, English Subber) madness that will have you laugh and get giddy at a pace similar to your heartbeat that time you were in that EDM rave and you took that special candy they were handing out.
Kill La Kill, as intense, and as funny as it gets, it's not all games. Episode 1 gives you a brief history of German efficiency, the bad kind. Then we enter the scene of societal conditioning, aka a classroom at Honnouji Academy. And the major remnant from the Nazi's that lingered on this very class of unengaged students, as it does in our world, is the Uniform.
Uniforms. You may have worn one at some time. Hell, if you're shuffling through school halls or serving a long line of pigs at the ol' McJob, chances are you're wearing a uniform right now. But it's just clothing right? Psychologically speaking, it's more than that. Just ask Zimbardo or Milgram.
Kill La Kill amplyfies (like all animes) this in both a literal and symbolic sense. From the onset we are introduced to the power of the uniform. Those that wear it like Ira Gamagoori, Disciplinary Committee Chair, is seen as a huge terrifying force of nature commanding great power. Because in Kill La Kill, the uniforms they wear, i.e. the Goku Uniform, literally gives the wearer actual superpowers.
In Kill La Kill, the organisation and Nazi-styled references with Miss 'Furer' Lady Satsuki, the Student Council President of Honnouji Academy at the helm, should go unnoticed.
Kill La Kill, intentionally or not, exposes the hypocrisy of human logic. Uniforms are supposedly meant to show unity, a symbol of people binding together under a single banner. But like the Nazis, the Goku uniform sets up a fractured unity by means of rank. One-Star Uniforms allows wearers a certain level of power. But of course that superpower is pig-cracklings to Two- Star and Three-Star uniforms.
Three-Star Iru might against the dwarfed thief who stole a One-Star Goku Uniform
Those with No-Star Goku uniforms are deemed unworthy and weak, and these student's aim is to rank up and seek favour in the cut-throat caste system of student cliques by mindlessly following orders and not pissing of the system of things.
And with Ryuko, the vagabond heroine who has no problem running with scissors and challenging authority, is seen as a cancer in the Honnouji's precious eco-sytem. But by herself, Ryuko gets easily outclassed by the brute force and strength of the system in Honnouji Academy.
Which then leads to another observation. Anarchists, as much as they think themselves outside what they view as a corrupt system, will indubitably become part of it. Functionalism's defining ideology is that everything in society, whether war or peace, chaos or order, death or health, has it's place in the art of equilibrium.
The new possessed uniform with unique breast-support system.
And as much as Ryuko, on the trail of finding her father's killer, goes up against the Goku Uniformed baddies, she gains power only when she herself gets into uniform. A uniform that literally forced itself (sexually) on her and intravenously feeds off her blood while she wears it. The Sailor uniform Ryuko identifies as an inheritance from her 'father's keepsakes' (that shows way too much skin I might add). Blood begets blood. Sins of the father. We as man tend to live by a code taught to us as reality, without questioning its meaning or truth. This is the world that Lady Satsuki governs. And Ryuko unwittingly tries to find a foothold down that same slippery path.
"No… must… not… conform to the tacit of a kakistocratic hegemony…"
What may seem as an action-packed, humour-chocked anime spin on the clique school system we are subjected to as highschoolers, goes more into the psychology of conformity and the need to assimilate in seeking validation. Anything outside the norm is frowned upon, even if it makes total sense. Sad really. And while Ryuko is seen as a rebel, her power still comes from partly conforming to the deluded ideology of what wearing a uniform projects: power, status (or the promise of ranking up) and belonging to something greater. One of the many things you can thank Hitler for.

Q: javascript map object values I have an array of objects:
[{a:1;b:2},{a:3;b:4},{a:5;b:6},{a:7;b:8},{a:9;b:10}]

And the input is the value for a, like 1, and I want the output be the value of corresponding b, which return 2 for example.
I have a naive method to loop through the array and return the result. I'm wondering whether there's better solutions? Like map the array to an array of the values of a, and get the index of input then get the output by using the index that we get.
One more explanation is that the value of a is identical, they are not values, examples are used to illustrate the problem.
example:
INPUT: 1 OUTPUT:2

INPUT: 3 OUTPUT:4

INPUT: 5 OUTPUT:6

INPUT: 7 OUTPUT:8

And my code is like this:
var test=function(obj){
    var a=obj.map(function(item){
        return item.a;
    })
    return obj[a.indexof("1")].b;
}

A: You can preprocess the array of objects to create a single object, which will hold the values of a as keys and the values of b as corresponding values, with Array.prototype.reduce, like this
> var d = [{a: 1, b: 2}, {a: 3, b: 4}, {a: 5, b: 6}, {a: 7, b: 8}, {a: 9, b: 10}];
undefined
> var lookup = d.reduce(function (result, currentObject) {
...     result[currentObject.a] = currentObject.b;
...     return result;
... }, {});
undefined
> lookup
{ '1': 2, '3': 4, '5': 6, '7': 8, '9': 10 }

Then you can get the value corresponding to the number from the lookup, like this
> lookup[5]
6
> lookup[9]
10

If the value you are looking for is not present in the lookup, you will get undefined.
> lookup[11]
undefined

A: I think that could be nice
var obj = [{a:1,b:2},{a:3,b:4},{a:5,b:6},{a:7,b:8},{a:9,b:10}];

function get_it(_v){
    for(x=0;x<obj.length;x++) if(obj[x].a == _v) return obj[x].b;
}

console.log(get_it(prompt('Insert your number:')));

A: This does what you want. However, you need to think of the possible case when there are more objects in the array with a matching needle.
function getBbyA(input, needle) {
    for (var index in input) {
        if (input[index].a === needle) {
            return input[index].b;
        }
    }
    return null;
}

A:

var arr = [{a:1,b:2},{a:3,b:4},{a:5,b:6},{a:7,b:8},{a:9,b:10}];

function getIt(num){
  return arr.filter(function(item){
    return item.a === num;
  }).pop().b
}

alert(getIt(5));

Hoosier Riders Produce Solid Results in MotoAmerica Support Class Races Saturday
October 10, 2020 | By Zach Horrall, Indianapolis Motor Speedway
As motorcycle racing returned to Indianapolis Motor Speedway with MotoAmerica Superbikes at the Brickyard on the 16-turn, 2.591-mile motorcycle road course, several Indiana natives looked to join an exclusive club of Hoosier winners at the Racing Capital of the World.
Between six MotoAmerica classes, four riders that hail from the state of Indiana competed as they attempted to win their hometown race and join NASCAR Xfinity Series star Chase Briscoe as Indiana natives to win at IMS in 2020.
However, the Racing Capital of the World proved to be a challenging track for the four riders who have never raced at IMS.
Indianapolis native Nolan Lamkin was the sole Hoosier to compete in the 16-lap Supersport race, and he had the best finish of any Indiana native competing Saturday at IMS.
Wearing a special Indianapolis-themed helmet that featured the downtown Indianapolis skyline and the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, the 19-year-old started 13th and finished 11th on the No. 52 Cycle Gear Racing Yamaha YZF-R6. Lamkin said that while today's result wasn't the best, it gives him optimism for Sunday's second Supersport race of the weekend.
"Today was a lot better," Lamkin said of the weekend. "We made continuous setup changes, and it worked pretty good. We dropped a second from qualifying to the race, but overall, we've been making steps.
"Tomorrow, I'm really excited because we've been able to make steady progress. My goal is top five. So, we came up short on that today. I was able to hold on to some of those guys up front. We're optimistic. I wouldn't say we're happy, but we know what we need to do to improve."
Lamkin said the biggest challenge he felt on the racetrack was in the quick back-and-forth corners throughout the racetrack, often called the "esses." Most notably, Lamkin struggled to get through Turns 6, 7, 8 and 9, as well as Turns 14, 15 and 16.
"The biggest thing I was having was flicking the bike in the 'esses,'" he said. "The bike was very lazy. So, when I was behind other people, I noticed that's where they were gapping me. The gap from first to where I am is really close, so we just need to find a little bit more and we should be pretty good."
The Stock 1000 race on IMS' motorcycle road course featured the most Indiana natives in one race: three.
The group was led by Indianapolis native Christian Guffy, who competed in his first-ever MotoAmerica race. He surged from the 20th starting position to finish 15th in the No. 227 Guffy Racing Suzuki GSX-R1000.
"It went great," Guffy said. "We were fighting rear grip issue and had a great start. We were up to about 11th and dropped a couple places after bad drives out of corners. Unfortunately, we only have one race. If we had another race, I think we could've solved those issues."
Guffy, a father of five who does not race motorcycles as a full-time job, said his goal was to finish in the top 15. He accomplished that goal and also achieved a dream of racing on the most famous racecourse in the world.
"I've been to a dozen "500's" or so and a bunch of the INDYCAR road races, but coming in on Thursday not as a spectator but as a racer was pretty surreal," Guffy said. "It was a really cool experience to run down the frontstretch and past the Pagoda. It was one of those 'pinch me' moments."
Corey Heflin, who hails from Kokomo, started 14th and was poised for a top-10 run. But a costly mistake hindered his chances for a solid result, and he finished 22nd riding the No. 21 Heflin Racing Yamaha YZF-R1.
Heflin was penalized for an improper start after he slightly inched forward as he waited for the race to begin. Heflin stopped after his nudge forward, but he was handed a pass-thru penalty on Lap 8 for the infraction while running 11th, ending his bid for a top-10 finish.
"Up to that point we were doing good, fighting for a top 10, which is our goal every weekend," Heflin said. "Tenth place was right in front of us. I don't know if he was getting slower or I was getting faster, but I was reeling him in. We definitely would've been fighting for it at the end."
Heflin was competing in the final MotoAmerica event of his career. He expected his goodbye performance to be a better show, but it's up to his imagination to decide what could have been.
"It's bittersweet," he said. "The weekend went really well. I guess I had higher expectations because I've been here so long. I think I was naive thinking because (the course) is flat that it would be easier to figure out. We trimmed five seconds from Friday, which was really good."
Josh Gerardot, from Fort Wayne, started 21st and climbed two spots to 19th by the time the checkered flag waved, riding the No. 999 Josh Gerardot Racing Kawasaki ZX-10R.
While Guffy, Heflin and Gerardot are done for the weekend, Lamkin will take on the IMS road course once again on Sunday as the Supersport class competes in its second race of the weekend at 1:10 p.m. HONOS Superbike, Liqui Moly Junior Cup and Heritage Series classes also will compete again Sunday. Tickets are available at IMS.com.

NFL-SCHEDULE
NFL playoff matchups almost set
UNDATED (AP) – The NFL playoff scenario is complete. The Tennessee Titans have won the AFC South, while the Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Ravens and Indianapolis Colts have locked up wild-card spots in the conference.
The Washington Football Team took the NFC East by finishing one game ahead of Dallas and New York. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears will go to the NFC playoffs as wild cards. The Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals, Giants and Cowboys missed out on playoff berths.
Here's how things shook out in Week 17:
– Derrick Henry ran for a career-high 250 yards and the Titans captured the AFC South for the first time in 12 years with a 41-38 triumph over the Texans. Henry finished the regular season with a franchise-record 2,027 yards rushing to become the eighth player in NFL history to run for 2,000 yards. Houston tied the game on a field goal with just 18 seconds left, but Tennessee pulled it out when Sam Sloman's 37-yard kick bounced off the upright and through as time expired. Titans QB Ryan Tannehill threw for 216 yards and a touchdown and ran for two more scores.
– The Browns are a playoff team for the first time since 2002 following a 24-22 win over the AFC North-champion Steelers. Nick Chubb had a touchdown run, Baker Mayfield threw a TD pass and the Browns hung on after taking a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter. Mason Rudolph's 2-yard TD pass to JuJu Smith-Schuster with 1:23 left pulled the Steelers within 24-22. But Rudolph badly overthrew rookie Chase Claypool on the 2-point attempt before the Browns recovered the onside kick.
– The Ravens used a club-record 404 yards rushing to clinch a playoff spot and hammer Cincinnati, 38-3. Lamar Jackson threw three touchdown passes and became the first NFL quarterback to rush for more than 1,000 yards in two consecutive seasons, collecting 97 against the Bengals before taking a seat in the third quarter. Rookie J.K. Dobbins rushed for 160 yards and two touchdowns for the 11-5 Ravens, including a 72-yard scoring romp in the third quarter. Baltimore won its fifth straight game and advanced to the postseason for a third consecutive season.
– Jonathan Taylor rushed for a franchise-record 253 yards and two scores as the Colts doubled up the Jaguars, 28-14 to clinch an AFC playoff berth. Taylor sealed the victory for the 11-5 Colts by running 45 yards for a TD with 3:35 left. Philip Rivers threw for another score and the Indianapolis defense shut out the Jaguars over the final quarter to help preserve the win. Jacksonville lost its final 15 games and will have the No. 1 overall draft pick in April.
– Josh Allen and the Bills ended the Dolphins' bid for an AFC playoff berth with a 56-26 rout of Miami. Allen threw three touchdown passes and Isaiah McKenzie scored three times, including a punt return of 84 yards. The 13-3 Bills blew the game open by scoring on four consecutive second-quarter possessions. Buffalo's 56 points were the second most in team history, and Allen set a single-season team record with 4,544 yards passing.
– Washington's Alex Smith threw two touchdown passes in a 20-14, division-clinching win at Philadelphia. Smith threw a 13-yard TD pass to Logan Thomas in the second quarter to give Washington a 17-14 lead it never relinquished. The go-ahead toss came after Jalen Hurts scored on a pair of 6-yard TD runs for the Eagles. Washington gets into the postseason at 7-9, which means six non-playoff teams missed out despite matching or topping that record.
– Russell Wilson connected on two fourth-quarter touchdown passes to Tyler Lockett as the Seahawks rallied for their fourth straight win, 26-23 versus the 49ers. Wilson finished 20 of 36 passing for 171 yards, and Lockett provided 90 yards on 12 catches for the 12-4 Seahawks. Alex Collins ran for an 8-yard touchdown with 1:49 left to put the Seahawks ahead 26-16. Seattle had a slow start and appeared in serious trouble when Jeff Wilson Jr. ran for a 7-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter to push the 49ers ahead, 16-6.
– The Buccaneers claimed the fifth seed in the NFC playoffs as Tom Brady threw for 399 yards and four touchdowns in a 44-27 thumping of the Falcons. Antonio Brown and Chris Godwin each caught scoring passes for Brady, who set a club record with 40 TD throws. Godwin finished with 133 yards receiving, while Brown logged 138 on 11 catches in his best game since joining Tampa Bay. But star receiver Mike Evans was carted to the locker room with a left knee injury late in the first quarter and didn't return.
– The Bears snared an NFC playoff berth despite a 35-16 loss to the Packers. Aaron Rodgers threw for four touchdowns, breaking his franchise record for scoring passes in a season and helping Green Bay take home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs. Rodgers joined Peyton Manning as the only players to throw for at least 45 touchdowns in multiple seasons. Davante Adams broke Sterling Sharpe's record for receptions in a season and tied his mark for touchdown catches in a year.
– Chicago made the playoffs by virtue of the Cardinals' 18-7 loss to the Rams. Los Angeles QB John Wolford passed for 231 yards and rushed for 56 more in his NFL debut. Troy Hill returned an interception 84 yards for a touchdown as the Rams claimed their third postseason berth in four years under head coach Sean McVay. Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray finished with 87 yards passing after sitting out for most of the first three quarters with an ankle injury.
– The Saints wrapped up the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs by picking off five passes in a 33-7 throttling of the Panthers. Drew Brees (breez) threw for 201 yards and three touchdowns for New Orleans, which managed to gain 156 yards on the ground despite the absence of Alvin Kamara (kah-MAH'-rah) and Latavius Murray due to COVID-19 concerns. Ty Montgomery ran for 105 yards on 18 carries to help the 12-4 Saints become the first team to sweep the NFC South since the division was formed in 2002.
– The Giants kept their NFC East title hopes alive for about seven hours by holding off the Cowboys, 23-19. The outcome hung in the balance until rookie Xavier McKinney intercepted Dallas' Andy Dalton in the end zone with 1:15 remaining, leaving both teams 6-10. Daniel Jones was 17-of-25 passing for 229 yards and two touchdowns, helping New York end the Cowboys' seven-game winning streak in the rivalry.
– Justin Herbert threw for 302 yards and accounted for four touchdowns as the Chargers whipped the short-handed Chiefs, 38-21. Mike Williams, fill-in tight end Donald Parham Jr. and running back Austin Ekeler had touchdown catches for the Chargers, though Ekeler's season ended with a concussion late in the first half. Kansas City already had wrapped up the No. 1 seed and the AFC's lone first-round bye, so coach Andy Reid chose rest over reps by sitting quarterback Patrick Mahomes (mah-HOHMZ'), safety Tyrann Mathieu and several of his best players.
– Cam Newton had three touchdown passes and caught another in the Patriots' 28-14 downing of the Jets. Newton also ran for 79 yards and posted his first multi-touchdown passing game of the season, going 21 of 30 for 242 yards as New England finished 7-9. Sam Darnold was 23 of 34 for 266 yards, a touchdown and two second-half interceptions for the Jets, who led 14-7 before ending up 2-14. After the game, the Jets announced that head coach Adam Gase was fired after two seasons and just nine wins.
– Darren Waller caught Derek Carr's 2-point conversion pass with 24 seconds left to send the 8-8 Raiders past the Broncos, 32-31. Josh Jacobs' 1-yard TD run capped a seven play, 77-yard drive before head coach Jon Gruden went for the win instead of the tie. Las Vegas ended a nine-game losing streak in season finales despite turning the ball over four times.
– Kirk Cousins threw for 405 yards and three touchdowns in guiding the Vikings' offense in a 37-35 win over the Lions. Alexander Mattison ran for 95 yards and a TD, but his biggest gainer was a 16-yard scamper on fourth-and-1 that allowed the 7-9 Vikings to run out the clock. Detroit's defense broke franchise records by allowing 519 points and 6,716 yards, breaking marks set by its winless team in 2008.
Curry puts 62 on Blazers
UNDATED (AP) – How hot was Stephen Curry against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday? He managed to outscore the Blazers' All-Star backcourt of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum while setting a career high for points.
Curry torched the Trail Blazers for 62 points in leading the Golden State Warriors to a 137-122 victory. Curry had the highest-scoring game in the NBA this season, finishing 18 for 31 and 8 of 16 on 3-pointers after beginning with a 21-point first quarter. He had his 10th career 30-point half to help the Warriors take a 66-54 at the break.
Curry's only blemish was watching his team-record streak of successful free throws end at 80.
Lillard finished with 32 points and McCollum had 28 for Portland.
– LeBron James had 22 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists for the Lakers in a 108-94 downing of the Grizzlies. Anthony Davis added 17 points and nine rebounds, while Montrezl (MAHN'-trehz) Harrell added 16 points and nine boards in the Lakers' third win in a row.
– Paul George poured in 39 points and the Clippers led by as many as 31 before holding off the Suns, 112-107. George was 7 of 10 from 3-point range and Los Angeles was 17 of 29 overall.
– Zach LaVine (lah-VEEN') delivered 39 points and Coby White scored 21 of his 23 in the second half to lead the Bulls to a 118-108 victory over the Mavericks. Jalen Brunson had 31 points for the Mavericks while starting in place of All-Star guard Luka Doncic (DAHN'-chihch), who was out with a left quad injury.
– Jayson Tatum nailed a fallaway with 2.9 seconds left to give the Celtics a 122-120 victory over the Pistons. Tatum came within two rebounds of a triple-double, finishing with 24 points and 12 assists. Jaylen Brown shot 13 of 16 while scoring a team-high 31 points, including 3-pointer that gave Boston a last-minute lead.
– Bojan (BOY'-ahn) Bogdanovic scored 28 points and the Jazz drained a season-high 21 3-pointers in a 130-109 pounding of the Spurs. Donovan Mitchell added 22 points and nine assists in 29 minutes as the Jazz sat their starters for half of the fourth quarter.
– Jamal Murray scored 26 of his season-high 36 points by halftime and Nikola Jokic (nih-KOH'-lah YOH'-kihch) recorded his fourth triple-double of the season as the Nuggets whipped the Timberwolves, 124-109. Jokic contributed 19 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists despite getting into early foul trouble for the second straight game.
– Bradley Beal had 27 points, 10 rebounds and the assist on Thomas Bryant's go-ahead dunk with 14.9 seconds left in the Wizards' 123-122 verdict over the Nets. Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant missed jumpers on the last possession, dropping the Nets to 3-4.
Cougars top Mustangs
UNDATED (AP) – Fifth-ranked Houston was able to rebound from its first loss of the season by beating a state rival.
Quentin Grimes hit a go-ahead 3-pointer to ignite a 10-0 run that started the second half of the Cougars' 74-60 win against previously undefeated SMU.
Marcus Sasser led Houston with 17 points and Justin Gorham added 11 with 19 rebounds.
Grimes got into early foul trouble and didn't score in the first half before finishing with 11 points.
In other top-25 men's basketball action:
– Michigan remains unbeaten after Hunter Dickinson scored 15 of his 19 points in the second half of the 16th-ranked Wolverines' 85-66 rout of No. 19 Northwestern. Chaundee Brown, Franz Wagner and Eli Brooks scored 14 points apiece for the Wolverines, who are the last Big Ten team without a loss.
– Liam Robbins had 27 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks to help 21st-rated Minnesota coast to a 77-60 victory over No. 25 Ohio State. Marcus Carr added 15 points and Gabe Kalscheur scored 13 in Minnesota's third win in four games all against top-25 teams.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL-NORTHERN ILLINOIS
Montgomery fired by Huskies
DEKALB, Ill. (AP) – Northern Illinois has fired men's basketball coach Mark Montgomery after a 1-7 start.

MLB-NEWS
Marlins added bullpen depth
MIAMI (AP) – The Miami Marlins hope they've upgraded their bullpen by working out a one-year, $850,000 package with lefty Ross Detwiler.
The 34-year-old Detwiler pitched in 16 games out of the bullpen for the White Sox last year, going 1-1 with a 3.20 ERA in 44 innings. He broke into the majors in 2007 and has a 4.56 ERA in 224 games for seven teams.
The Marlins also announced the signing of catcher Sandy Leon to a minor league contract.
