Birthdays and Celebrations
Celebrations are part of our families and cultures. Birthdays can be particularly important to children. At Big Hugs we truly enjoy celebrating your child’s special day and we believe each child’s birthday should be celebrated. This is a special milestone for each child. Parents of the birthday child are asked to provide cupcakes/ice cream/munchkins, whichever they are most comfortable with. Goody bags or additional birthday supplies are at the parent’s discretion. You will receive a note prior to your child’s birthday listing how many children are in the class and the goodies rule for that particular age group.
Official parties held are Halloween, Thanksgiving, December Holidays, Valentine’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day. We also hold impromptu parties for various other holidays and special events.
Our center values all religions and cultures. In the spirit of equality, we will focus the curriculum around common seasonal themes and holiday celebrations. We welcome the exchange of ideas and traditions that come from our diverse community.

"The seventh nail-biter in the Ava Lee thriller series takes us from the world of high-stakes global investment to an even higher-stakes Triad turf war. Ian Hamilton puts his formidable heroine through the wringer as she deals with the death of her beloved mentor, Uncle, and ventures into new—and dangerous—territory. The King of Shanghai is rich with the lavish backdrops, shady dealings, and tight suspense that fans of the series will recognise and newcomers are bound to appreciate. We continue to be in awe of Ava, a sharp, stylish Chinese-Canadian lesbian with a feisty, inventive, and occasionally ruthless approach to life."
- Apple Books Review
"Ever since his dazzling surprise debut with The Water Rat of Wanchai, Hamilton has propelled Ava along through the series with expanded storytelling and nuanced character development: there s always something new to discover about Ava. Fast-paced suspense, exotic locales, and a rich cast of characters (some, like Ava s driver, Sonny, are both dangerous and lovable) make for yet another hugely entertaining hit."
- Publishers Weekly
"The only thing scarier than being ripped off for a few million bucks is being the guy who took it and having Ava Lee on your tail. If Hamilton’s kick-ass forensic accountant has your number, it’s up."
- Linwood Barclay, author of No Time for Goodbye
"A solid addition to the Ava Lee series…Ava is as powerful and brilliant as ever."
- Literary Treats
"This is Ava Lee back to her best."
- Canmore book blog
"After six novels starring Chinese-Canadian Ava Lee and her perilously thrilling exploits, best-selling Canadian author Ian Hamilton has jolted his creation out of what wasn’t even yet a rut and hurled her abruptly into a new circumstance, with fresh ambitions."
- Joan Barfoot, London Free Press
"One of Ian Hamilton’s best"
- Margaret Cannon, Globe and Mail
"It's a measure of Hamilton's quality as a thriller writer that he compels your attention even before he starts ratcheting up the suspense."
- Jamie Portman, Postmedia News Network
"Ian Hamilton has done it again. This is another great chapter in the series with a thriller aspect that will keep you turning the pages."
- Al Hawadeth

Canon 600D DSLR Camera has a flip screen which makes it ideal for shooting videos and also getting various angles of photos. I always flip the screen out when I am taking flat lay photos or photos of things/people/places taller than me. It gives you a nice view because it can be adjusted to suit your needs.
DSLR stands for Digital Single Lens Reflex. There are various DSLR cameras out there but they give a better image quality than a regular bridge camera or a point and shoot camera. The image you get on a DSLR camera is a true representation of the actual image. DSLR Cameras have mirrors inside that are angled at 45 degrees and this ensures that it captures as much light as possible to give the bets image quality. I believe that’s the main difference between a regular DSLR camera and a regular digital camera. The image you see on the viewfinder on a DSLR camera is a true representation of the image in real life.
I use a Canon 50 mm 1.8 Lens for majority of my blog photos. This is the lens that gives crisp photos and a blurry background which many people like. I plan to do a video showing how I shoot my YouTube videos but I will do that once I sort out my sound system. I also have my Kit Lens which came with the Camera and it’s the Canon 18-55 mm F 3.5/5.6 lens.
I am sure you may have heard of ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed at some point if you own any camera or read posts on blog photos. They all control the amount of light that gets into the camera which also determines the image quality you get. There are various settings on each DSLR camera but I would concentrate on the one I have on my Canon 600D.
I need to mention that you don’t have to run out and buy a DSLR camera especially if you only want to use it to blog . I say this because you can get amazing images with other digital cameras.
What are your favourite camera tips?

We've been hearing iPad Pro rumors for quite a while now, but the latest leak has Apple providing a 12.9-inch display in its 'more professional' iPad. We could see the iPad Pro with a display somewhere between 12.5 and 12.9 inches.
The new iPad Pro would have Apple targeting professionals, who want a more serious slate from Apple, with stereo speakers, too. So not only would professionals gain from the larger display, but iPad enthusiasts would have something to consider with the larger display and stereo speakers on the iPad Pro.
The latest mock up (in the video above) shows four ports on the iPad Pro. We don't know what all of these could be, and they could change as this is just a mock up, but we should expect Apple to unveil a new iPad, as well as the iPad Pro, later this year.

Savage 1899 - Restoration
Restoration and Conservation
I began the process of conserving my fathers Savage Model 1899 back in 1994. I had very little expendable cash and no workshop to speak of, so my main goal was to stop the rust on the receiver. I carefully disassembled the rifle and found that it also had a broken firing pin. I carded the receiver and removed the worst of the rust. I ordered a replacement firing pin and hammer bushing. I oiled everything heavily and packed it away with a promise to get back to the project…someday.
A few months ago my wife and I decided it was time to “finally clear out the attic”. In the process I discovered the Savage parts still encased in oil. I even found the receipt from Numrich Gun Parts Corporation. What I didn’t know was all the history and detail about this gun, I didn’t have the Internet in 1994. So down the rabbit hole I went. I discovered a ton of great information including the history and story behind this revolutionary (for the time) firearm. For example:
- Most lever action rifles of the time fired flat nosed pistol cartridges. This was because they employed a under barrel tubular magazine that stacked the bullet nose against the primer of the next bullet. Arthur Savage designed the unique rotary magazine so that the rifle could fire modern spitzer (pointy) bullets like his 303 Savage.
- The Model ‘99 was wildly popular, known for it’s accuracy it was manufactured in many different calibers making it popular into the 1980’s.
- The Model ‘99 was the first hammerless lever action. This design decreased “lock time”, shortening the time between trigger pull and ignition, aiding in accuracy.
- The Model ‘99 has a “cocked” indicator on the top of the receiver to inform the shooter of the condition of the internal hammer.
- Though “Savage” is the manufacturers surname, the Indian head logo is a likeness of Chief Lame Deer. The story goes that in n 1919, Arthur Savage was approached by Chief Lame Deer to buy rifles for his tribe in New York. Lame Deer offered to allow Savage to use his image as its logo in exchange for discounted rifles and an annual fee. As of 2018, Savage Arms was still paying the annual fee.
Disassembly and First “Antiques Roadshow” Moment
I found a DVD that detailed the disassembly of the rifle from The American Gunsmithing Institute. This turned out to be a huge help as one of the springs was missing. The firing pin return spring moves the firing pin back, out of the way of the next, unfired, primer, as the bolt is driven forward. I believe that missing this little spring led to the damage to the hammer bushing and ultimately the broken firing pin. Thankfully, I was able to order a new spring from Numrich.
The first antiques roadshow moment came while watching the video where he described the “take down” version of the rifle. The forend is removed and there is a bushing in the forend that engages the barrel lug allowing the barrel to be removed from the rifle. My rifle bore all the traits but lacked the bushing. Upon very close inspection, I noticed a small indentation that gave me hope that the bushing may be hiding under the bedding material. I contacted my dear friend and chiropractor Steven to ask if we could use his X-ray machine. I didn’t want to damage the forend if the bushing had been removed. I stood behind Steven as the image materialized giddy as I did my best Antiques Roadshow appraiser impersonation “If we turn this over and there is a bushing in the forend, you have got yourself a valuable rifle!”. There it was. Hidden under a repair.
Next, I carefully removed the bedding material that covered and filled the bushing.
Then fashioned a square wrench to turn the bushing into the correct orientation. This may have been why they filled it, not understanding the utility and incorrect orientation.
Second “Antiques Roadshow” Moment
As the disassembly proceeded I found that all of the fitted components bore the same serial number stamp. Every Antiques Roadshow has an appraiser stating the “If all the serial numbers match that’s a good thing!” But the best thing was found when I removed the butt plate. I found my dad’s initials scrawled in his own hand. “RPM” and he didn’t damage the serial number. A little research and I found that this rifle was manufactured in 1923.
Conserving the Finish
The reason the rifle remained disassembled for so many years was due to rust. I discovered Rust Blue and have written up all the details in my post Savage Model 1899 Bluing about how to recondition and restore a rust blue finish to this amazing luster.
This whole project was a labor of love. It gave me a chance to complete the work that I started so many years ago. Without the Internet and the amazing amount of information I learned about the history and details I would not have been successful getting the rifle back into firing condition. The final step for me was to add some custom leatherwork in the form of a “cobra” sling and ammo cuff. I am very proud of the results.
I sincerely hope that this information helps other Savage owners conserve these beautiful mementos of the past.

CHEQUAMEGON NATIONAL FOREST, Wis. – There’s a field here, nestled in a bowl of the landscape so that the rays of the morning sun bounce off a east-facing ridge and warm it pleasantly.
There are grasses for grazing and good scent- and sightlines in all directions to know if you’re being watched.
If you’re an elk, it’s a great place to be. Perhaps too good.
It was here in this field in May 1995 that 25 elk from Michigan were released to seed the reintroduction of the towering cervids that once roamed much of the state. Their offspring now make up the healthy herd of just over 160 animals, and the cows return here to calve each spring.
For the wolves and bears that live here, this field is also quite a place – especially when the newborn elk arrive.
There’s nothing unnatural or problematic on its face about this, but given that this herd of elk has nearly an entire national forest to roam, the herd should be growing faster, according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources,
“Initially, the growth was fast, but it’s slowed,” said Ken Jonas, the DNR’s area wildlife supervisor. “The local wolf pack and the bears are exploiting the newborn elk calves.”
Jonas spoke on a recent afternoon as he and a dozen or so workers and volunteers stood around a forest road awaiting word from the field, where other workers were attempting to capture a few elk and relocate them some miles away.
The capture-and-transport is part of a plan the agency hopes will help the herd expand its range and grow faster.
NEW CALVING GROUND
Once a female elk gives birth, she tends to return to the same area. This foiled a previous attempt to relocate several elk; the cows returned, and the bulls, having no other cows to court, eventually followed. The current plan is to capture young cows – 2-year-olds that haven’t yet given birth – and a few handsome young bulls and relocate them to a fenced-in area of several acres.
They’ll stay there, getting used to the place – and each other – until spring. If all goes well, they’ll mate, and next spring the cows will return to give birth, thus establishing a second calving ground and perhaps a chance for fewer newborns to be killed by predators.
“We talked about establishing a second herd, but that became very tricky,” Jonas explained. Imported elk need to be guaranteed free of diseases, especially chronic wasting disease, which would ravage the local white-tailed deer population. Certified breeding programs are just now being established. Jonas and others decided that creating secondary calving grounds using animals already on hand – a subherd of sorts – was the best option.
Elk, the largest member of the deer family next to the moose, once roamed much of Wisconsin, as well as Minnesota and Michigan.
By the late 1800s, elk were killed off entirely by hunting and habitat loss in Michigan and Wisconsin. A 1918 reintroduction to Michigan held – despite heavy poaching – and the state now harbors between 800 and 900 animals, plenty for a healthy hunting season.
Three separate herds in northwestern Minnesota – Kittson, Grygla and Caribou-Vita, which straddles the Canadian border – total about 165 animals. Modest hunting is allowed on the Kittson and Grygla herds, with a goal of keeping them small – about 30 elk each.
Historically, farmers have not welcomed elk, because they can ravage a crop field, and that has been a factor in Minnesota’s elk-hunting policy.
Wisconsin’s first reintroduction in the 1930s failed; the last were shot in 1948. Elk prefer oak savanna and open areas, and the sparsely populated national forest area near Clam Lake is close to the northern part of their range in the Badger State. But the 1995 reintroduction, via a public process and consultation with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, chose the area, in part, because of a lack of nearby agricultural land.
The primary goal of the program is to restore a native animal to its habitat. So far, wildlife officials haven’t noticed any impacts on the deer population or forest ecology, although there’s no question the wolves aren’t complaining.
And human predators will have their chance.
When the population reaches 200 – likely in 2013 – hunting can commence, according to a state management plan. The first hunt would be small: 10 tags, with half of the harvest reserved for Indian tribal members.
But a hunt isn’t needed to behold the huge animals.
On this day – a long day that stretched well past sundown – workers from the DNR and tribal groups were joined by a half-dozen student volunteers to tend to the two bulls and one cow that were tranquilized. The animals were examined by a veterinarian while vaccines were administered, blood drawn and radio collars checked.
“Oh, my God, this is amazing,” Spooner High School student McKayla Olson whispered as she cradled the head of a sedated elk.
The 7-year-old cow was released, while the bulls, each 2, were transported to their new home.

The minister for Labor, who according to some rumors has taken on the task of “serving” the more conservative communities of New Democracy the specific bill, argued yesterday that marriage is one thing and adoption is another.
An obvious attempt to … fool the citizens, as it has already been documented that same-sex marriage cannot proceed without legalizing adoptions by married gay couples.
However, it seems that in the Maximou House, seat of the Greek Government, they decided not to adopt this strategy of Adonis Georgiades, with the director of the Prime Minister's press office and future MEP of New Democracy, Dimitrios Tsiodras, denying him.
“These two are meant to go together. Because when you talk about marriage you also mean the rights of some children … There is discrimination against children that needs to be removed“, he said, speaking to a TV station and putting an end to A. Georgiades' attempts to salvage what he can from his “conservative” and “right wing” profile.

IoT Implementation Trends
The promise of the Internet of Things (IoT) to connect anything that can be connected to improve operations, solve business problems and control costs is resonating in boardrooms, operations teams and IT departments. Business leaders and OT/IT decision-makers are feeling optimistic about what the IoT can accomplish for their organizations.
The optimism, however, is tempered by high levels of uncertainty about how to reach implementation goals, specifically in the areas of what solutions to use, which are available to meet company objectives, and where to procure those solutions, as revealed in a study conducted by Informa Engage for Longview IoT, a Carnegie Technologies company.
Download this whitepaper to reveal the findings of the IoT implementation survey and learn how to achieve success with IoT in today’s environment.

Finally it is time to fill your home with the magical smell of baking cookies! Here are a few important tips:
Bake on shiny, heavy baking sheets. Dark or thin pans will burn your cookies faster than anything. You've worked so hard on your beautiful dough! Don't let dark, thin sheets ruin it!
Always place cut dough on cool baking sheets. Placing the dough on a warm or hot pan will cause excessive spreading. A really easy way to accomplish this is to use 3 baking sheets. By the time you've used the 3rd sheet, the first one will be cool enough. If you don't have 3 sheets, an easy way to cool one down is to remove cookies, pick up the empty pan with a pot holder and wave it back and forth like you're fanning Cleopatra! You'll look a little funny, but your pan will cool off fast! (Please don't forget to take the cookies off first!!)
I strongly recommend using either parchment paper or silicone liner to bake on. Both products promote even baking and help prevent spreading. Parchment paper is less expensive and can be reused a few times. Silicone is more of an investment up front, but will last a very long time and you won't have to bother with parchment. I bought my silicone sheet pan liners in 2001 and they are still going strong!
While your cookies are in the oven, keep an eye on them. They are done when they are a very light golden brown on the edges and look dry on top. If you use a conventional oven like I do, chances are you have uneven heat. It helps to rotate your pan half-way through baking for even heating.

Khalil, a resident of Kot Lakhpat, Lahore, his wife Nabeela, their 13-year-old daughter, and their neighbour, Zeeshan, were on their way to a wedding in Burewala when they were killed in firing on their car near the toll plaza on GT Road in the Qadirabad area.
Three children in the car survived. Khalil and Nabeela’s minor son sustained a bullet injury while their two other daughters remained unhurt. Khalil sustained 13 bullet wounds in his chest and head, his wife Nabeela sustained four, Zeeshan was found to have 10 bullet injuries; and Areeba, six bullets.
CTD officials had stated those killed in the shooting were terrorists belonging to Daesh. The CTD Sahiwal team was conducting a joint Intelligence-Based Operation on the basis of information from the CTD and a sensitive agency. They had to retaliate when they came under fire from those in the car.
As the news flashed on TV screens, scores of relatives of the deceased family took to the streets, blocking traffic on the Lahore-Kasur road to protest the murder. To ascertain facts, the prime minister ordered an immediate inquiry into the matter.Later on Saturday evening, Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar directed Inspector General of Punjab Police Amjad Javed Saleemi to ensure arrest of all the personnel involved in the killing of the four persons. A Joint Investigation Team (JIT) had also been constituted under the supervision of Additional IG Police Syed Ijaz Shah to investigate the incident.


AUGUST 24, 2016, WASHINGTON (NNS) – Navy researchers at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have demonstrated new fiber optic sensor technology suitable for an in-situ structural health monitoring system (SHM).
This technology enables autonomous monitoring of key structural parameters such as acoustic emission, temperature, and strain. The information can be used to monitor for damage due to impacts and cracks well before reaching critical levels.
“Primarily focused on monitoring the structural integrity of Navy assets, the technology may also have application on civilian aircraft, ships, and possibly bridges and buildings where continuous monitoring of critical components prone to fatigue and failure would prove beneficial,” said Dr. Geoffrey Cranch, research physicist, NRL Optical Sciences Division.
To accomplish this goal, sensors that can detect acoustic emission signatures associated with crack initiation and growth, in near real-time, are required. Such a sensor must be smaller and lighter than existing electrical equivalents, possess comparable or improved sensitivity, be easily multiplexed, and achieve all of these components with a small system footprint and high reliability.
Funded partially by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Navy Materials Division, the NRL-developed laser sensor is integrated into a shallow groove formed in the lap joint and consists of a single fiber, similar in width to a human hair. In testing the application, optical and material science researchers installed distributed feedback fiber laser acoustic emission sensors into a series of riveted aluminum lap joints and measured acoustic emission over a bandwidth of 0.5 megahertz (MHz) generated during a two-hour accelerated fatigue test. Measurements were also taken with an equivalent electrical sensor.
The embedded sensors were shown to resolve low-level acoustic events generated by periodic “fretting” from the riveted joint in addition to acoustic emissions from crack formation. Timelapse imagery of the lap joint enabled correlation of the observed fracture with the measured signals.
In addition to crack detection, the fiber laser sensor also proved capable of measuring compromising impacts, and the potential to integrate with existing fiber optic strain and temperature sensing systems. Combined, this provides a multi-parameter sensing capability for meeting the full operational safety requirements for a SHM system, as well as significantly lower total ownership costs.
“Our research team has demonstrated the ability of this fiber laser technology to detect acoustic emission at ultrasonic frequencies from cracks generated in a simulated fatigue environment,” Cranch said. “The novel part of this work is the fiber laser technology and how it is being applied.”
Acoustic signals from cracks can also be measured using piezoelectric sensors, and this technology has driven the existing work on failure prediction. However, the piezoelectric technology is generally not practical for many applications due to its large size and limited multiplexing capability.
Currently there is no other intrinsic optical fiber sensor capable of matching the performance obtained in the laboratory from the fiber laser acoustic emission sensor. The fiber laser sensor has demonstrated acoustic sensitivity comparable to, or greater than that achieved by existing electrical sensors. This system has now been expanded to multiplex many fiber laser sensors onto a single fiber. Efforts are currently underway to interpret the acoustic emission data to calculate useful metrics such as probability of failure. Future enhancements include implementing phased array beam forming techniques to enable crack location.

A new season will be here soon but there’s still plenty of frenzy surrounding transfers and THT takes a look at the most wanted midfielders this summer
The Hard Tackle takes a look at five of Europe’s most wanted midfielders – players who are being targeted by several big clubs and could be on the move right before the new season begins.
The transfer window so far has witnessed a few shock moves, heartbreaks and – of course – some record-breaking deals. With only a couple of weeks left for the new season to begin, one might think that the majority of drama is over. But no, things are only beginning to take a dramatic turn.
Be it this transfer window or any other before this, midfielders are always in high demand. Almost every midfielder gets linked to either one club or a plethora of different clubs as managers scurry about to procure the best talent for the team to boost their chances in the forthcoming season. Here are the top five most-wanted midfielders this summer:
Current Club: RB Leipzig
Suitor(s): Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City
Potential transfer fee: £70-75 million
Most likely destination: Liverpool
Keita was a part of Austrian outfit Red Bull Salzburg in the summer of 2014 that won both the Austrian Bundesliga and Austrian Cup in the 2014/15 season, with the player winning the Austrian Bundesliga Player of the Year award during his second season.
However, clubs started taking notice of him when he burst upon the scene playing for Salzsburg’s sister club RB Leipzig. Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool have all identified him as a midfield target.
The German club are demanding £70 million and all three interested parties are more than capable of mustering that amount. However, Liverpool are believed to be the front-runners in signing the promising youngster.
It comes as no surprise that three big Premier League clubs are battling it out for his signature. 22-year-old Keita has been a pillar of strength for the East German club as his presence allowed RB Leipzig to transition effectively into employing a speedier attacking style, allowing their strikers to flourish.
As things stand, the Reds are closest to signing the player. The young midfielder can offer competition to several Liverpool players if he does join Anfield this summer. Klopp can either use him in the advanced midfield role instead of Adam Lallana or change to the 4-4-2 diamond formation permanently.
When one compares all three clubs, Liverpool does seem like an ideal fit for Keita since he is quite versatile and can play central, attacking or defensive midfield. Moreover, his work rate makes him the perfect fit in the style of play that Klopp has implemented at Anfield.
The widespread interest in him coupled with Leipzig’s continued reluctance to part ways with the Guinea international only seeks to send his potential fee skyrocketing. Keita is, thus, likely to cost somewhere between £70-75 million.
Current Club: Schalke 04
Suitor(s): Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, Bayern Munich
Potential transfer fee: €20-30 million
Most likely destination: Bayern Munich
Leon Goretzka is the latest among the fiery new generation of German players who have managed to capture the attention of several big clubs. The player progressed through the ranks at Vfl Bochum before joining Schalke 04 back in 2013.
Since then, Goretzka has rapidly improved and became widely known as one of the most promising midfielders in the Bundesliga. Last season, the 22-year-old featured in 30 Bundesliga matches and netted five goals and five assists.
He was also handed a starting spot in Joachim Loew’s winning squad for the FIFA Confederations Cup 2017. The youngster has Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester City and Bayern Munich vying for his signature.
If recent reports are to be believed though, it seems like Tottenham and Manchester City have ceded their interest in the promising German as Arsenal and Bayern Munich continue to remain interested.
Goretzka has truly been a revelation and catapulted to further attention during the recently-concluded FIFA Confederations Cup. The fact that he has refused to sign a new contract with Schalke only multiplies his chances of leaving the club since he has only a year left on his current contract.
All the interested clubs – except Arsenal – will be able to provide the exciting prospect of Champions League football – something that could turn the player’s head. Keeping that in mind, Bayern Munich is where his is most likely to end up.
The reason being, Goretzka will not only get to play for a German side famous for developing home-grown talent, but under a manager whose record speaks for himself. And with only one year left on his current deal with Schalke, the player is unlikely to cost much
Current Club: Paris Saint-Germain
Suitor(s): Chelsea, Manchester United, Barcelona
Potential transfer fee: £60-80 million
Most likely destination: Manchester United
Marco Verratti is regarded as one of the best central midfielders in the world and has managed to establish himself as a key element in PSG’s midfield in the last five seasons. He is widely renowned for his ability to tighten things in the centre while ensuring an efficient distribution of the ball.
Last season was rather underwhelming for the French giants as they lost out on the Ligue 1 title to AS Monaco and failed to make an impact in the Champions League as well. However, Verratti was an exceptional performer even as the club endured issues.
The central midfielder is being pursued by a slew of clubs like Manchester United, Barcelona and Chelsea. Earlier, it was reported that Verratti is especially keen on a move to join Barcelona but recent reports indicate that he is open to joining other clubs as well if a deal with the Catalons fails to materialise.
Barcelona have been targeting him because midfield is top priority for the Spanish club with last summer’s signings Andre Gomes and Denis Suarez failing to live up to their billing. Ivan Rakitic, meanwhile, failed to maintain consistency which could be one of the biggest reasons behind their woeful season.
Be that as it may, no official move has been made from their side and reports of Chelsea targeting Verratti have slowed down. Compared to both clubs, Manchester United is likely to be the ideal destination for Verratti.
Mino Raiola’s appointment as Verratti’s agent is an interesting turn of events as well. With the super agent enjoying good relations with the Premier League outfit, a move to Old Trafford may yet be on the cards.
Current Club: Everton
Suitor(s): Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur
Potential transfer fee: £35-40 million
Most likely destination: Tottenham Hotspur
Barkley has been a hot prospect ever since he burst onto the scene with Everton, having progressed quickly through the ranks at the club. The 23-year-old has gone on to establish himself as a mainstay for both club and country earning recognition while becoming touted as one of the most exciting talents in England.
The Englishman has recorded more than 150 appearances for Everton and has only gone from strength-to-strength under Ronald Koeman, hence drawing the attention of Premier League biggies such as Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.
Barkley though, has only a year left on his contract and has not made signed a new deal with Everton yet. Rather than risking letting him go for free next year, Koeman will be looking to cash in on one of his most sought-after players.
One reason that could convince these clubs to further push for an offer is the fact that staying back at Everton certainly does not seem like a good option for Barkley. Everton have brought in Ajax attacking midfielder Davy Klaassen and have made a £45 million offer to sign Swansea’s Gylfi Sigurdsson.
Spurs are believed to be the front-runners for the talented Englishman and a move to Pochettino’s squad is likely to benefit him. The manager has been criticized so far for his inability to do solid business this summer but a deal for Barkley can help sway those sentiments since they have been eager to sign him to bolster the midfield.
Granted, he will have to fight for a regular starting spot if he joins Tottenham, but the player is capable of that and can easily capitalize on any given opportunity. Heung-Min Son has proven that if you take your chances under Pochettino, you will keep your place in his side, and that is likely to sound like an exciting prospect for Barkley.
As far as transfer fee is concerned, Everton are commanding an asking price of £50 million. But with just one year left on his current deal at Goodison Park, they might have to lower the figure or risk losing the player for free next summer. Thus a deal is likely to be struck in the region of £35-40 million.
Current Club: Arsenal
Suitor(s): Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool
Potential transfer fee: £35 million
Most likely destination: Liverpool
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain endured several changes in position for a large parts of last season. He took up roles in the central midfield area, played as a wing back and also worked from his traditional right wing position.
However, he was phenomenal as a wing back, even dethroning Hector Bellerin to play in the position. Growing frustration among the fans led to Arsene Wenger making an unusual change in his formation as he employed a three-man back line, and that system greatly benefited the former Southampton player.
His recent surge in form explains the interest from heavy-weights like Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool. Six years of nurturing his talent did pay off for the Gunners but with no talks of a new contract happening, one of these clubs are likely to reap the benefits.
Although Wenger has refuted all rumours of Oxlade-Chamberlain leaving this summer, Liverpool are believed to be in pole position to sign the talented youngster. They will be likely to meet the £35 million price tag and Jurgen Klopp is understood to be an ardent admirer of the Englishman’s versatility.
Klopp has been lacking depth in the centre of the park owing to captain Jordan Henderson struggling with injuries, as a result of which, the manager had Adam Lallana, Emre Can, Lucas Leiva and Georginio Wijnaldum as his options for large parts of the campaign.
Oxlade-Chamberlain can become an asset for Klopp with his pace and work rate. Additionally, he can also play in the Champions League next season if he joins Liverpool since the Gunners will have to be content with Europa League.
A transfer fee in the region of £35 million is likely to be agreed upon, with the player being in such high demand.

As if the death of the great Ted Williams weren't sad enough. Now comes word that his children are squabbling over the Splinter's once-splendid body, which already may have been frozen and preserved in an Arizona warehouse.
Such indignity should not befall one of the greatest athletes of all time. Those closest to Mr. Williams say he wanted to be cremated and have his ashes scattered over Florida. That's what he should get.
John Henry Williams, the Hall-of-Fame slugger's overreaching son, reportedly had the body shipped to a cryonics facility. Either he thinks his father will be resurrected someday when medical science catches up with fantasy, or he simply wants to profit from daddy's DNA. What a revolting -- and scientifically unsupportable -- thought.
John Henry's half-sister, Bobby-Jo Ferrell, said she plans to "rescue" her father's remains. May the courts be with her.
Ted Williams would have hated this post-mortem publicity even more than he hated news media attention during his career. A legend deserves death with dignity, not a circus.

MIAMI (AP) — Hundreds of volunteers are fanning out across the state and knocking on doors to discuss a very personal matter — health care.
It's just 50 days until uninsured Floridians will be able to shop online for private health insurance under a new federal law. And volunteers who are mobilizing grassroots efforts similar to election campaigns say they're finding that people are hungry to hear more.
Leaders with the nonprofit group Enroll America said there was an expectation that many wouldn't want to talk about such a politically charged issue, but they are finding that's not the case.
Enroll America is focusing tens of millions of dollars and 3,000 volunteers and Florida, Georgia, Arizona and seven other states with a strong GOP presence that have been resistant to implementing the Affordable Care Act.

Message from School Chair, Beth:
This Monday, December 10, the school board will vote on whether to extend Superintendent Davis’ contract, which expires in June. We need your help ensuring the vote passes. We’re asking you to do two things by tomorrow (Friday): 1) Send an email to school board reps and 2) Sign an online petition.
Davis has helped restore credibility to a system facing substantial issues. He is a strong, logical and fair leader who isn’t afraid to make tough decisions. Davis has addressed critical issues including a difficult redistricting battle, and he has a strategic plan to take our schools to the next level.
An extension of Davis’ contract will provide much-needed stability until a new school board takes office in January 2014, and ideally this new board will lead the search for our next superintendent.
The school board needs to hear from us regarding this vote. This is critical since a last-minute procedural change now requires this vote to pass with a 7-2 super-majority vs. the standard 5-4 majority. We ask that you take these two actions by tomorrow, Friday, Dec 7.
(1) Sign this petition in support of extending Erroll Davis’s contract.
(2) Send a brief email to school board reps sharing your support for Davis and asking them to vote yes to extend his contract. Below are email addresses and suggested talking points.
Board email addresses
firstname.lastname@example.org, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.org, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.org, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.org, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.org
– Superintendent Davis is a strong and fair leader who has been able to make balanced decisions in the best interest of the children APS serves.
– He has been effective in addressing many of the issues facing APS, and has developed a viable strategic plan to improve our school system.
-Extending his contract will provide the continuity and stability needed for APS to continue on its path of positive change and to execute on its plan.
-I ask that you vote for the extension of Superintendent Davis’ contract on December 10th.
Cecily Harsh-Kinnane is our board representative – you can leave her a message at the general APS # (404-802-2200) expressing your support for extending Davis. You can also request a return call.
Thank you for your time and support in this important community matter!

Weekly, Jess Cagle
needed a hit after the movie Jinxed!, and this spawned two: the harmony-rich ''Favorite
Waste of Time'' and ''Beast of Burden,'' a good- natured ode to masochism by Mick
Jagger and Keith Richards. B
Stone Magazine (RS 405), Stephen Holden
Midler's notoriously expensive and time-consuming studio albums are attempts to
prove that she's as good a singer as she is an entertainer. This means staying
on pitch, manufacturing different "commercial"-sounding voices to fit
all occasions and downplaying her celebrated humor.
On No Frills-which
she recorded with Chuck Plotkin, Bruce Springsteen's behind-the-scenes engineering
whiz - Midler realizes her ambitions too well. Though her singing is good, the
album is afflicted with artistic quadrophenia, as the Divine Miss M adopts four
distinct personas-a lost little girl, a Janis Joplin-like tough mama, a gospelish
balladeer and a Latin lounge singer-that don't seem connected to one another.
No Frills nevertheless contains three memorable performances. Done with a
sly, sassy insouciance,
Marshall Crenshaw's "Favorite Waste of Time" may be Midler's finest
rock performance ever. On the Rolling Stones' "Beast of Burden," she
projects an interestingly huffy theatricality. And she infuses the Barry Mann-Cynthia
Weil-Tom Snow ballad "All I Need to Know" with a smoky, oratorical fervor.
But for a project of this magnitude, too many of the songs fall short of
the singer. Instead of silly pop smut ("Let Me Drive"), tepid technopop
("Is It Love") and preciously arty nostalgia ("Soda and a Souvenir,"
"Come Back Jimmy Dean"), Midler should have gone for the moon and stuck
with songs that measure up to her own gigantic talents.
Guide, Robert Christgau
it helps that she gets stronger material than usual from yet another phalanx of
International Pop Music Community pros, what makes this Bette's best studio album
in a decade is a Habana production number set in Miami, a newly written Sophie
Tucker song about a driving wheel, and not-quite-comic readings of Marshall Crenshaw
and Jagger-Richard. What makes it not good enough is the curse of Broadway rock
and roll--the beat is conceived as decoration or signal rather than the meaning
of life, or even music. B-

Wang Leehom – Green Asian Star
When you think of famous Western stars and environmentalism, you think of Leonardo DiCaprio. When you think of Asian stars and going green, who comes to your mind? Asian music and movie stars hardly talk about the environment and climate change but recently Taiwanese singer, Wang Leehom, has called for everyone to love our earth and make the world a better place with his latest Chinese album, Change Me.
He wrote the song, Change Me, and sings of how we can change ourselves, never give up and we can change the world. Watch the music video at this Youtube link. The album CD uses recycled paper packaging to replace plastic and there is a note inside on the ten tips you can do to save the earth. An eco website (in Chinese), Love Our Earth, was also set up with more resources on saving our planet.
We would love to see more Asian stars speak about climate change and the environment, and influence the younger generation to take action.

Chiesa returns to Juventus squad for Champions League clash with PSG after 10-month injury layoff
- Chiesa's been out since January
- Finally back to fitness
- In squad to face PSG
WHAT HAPPENED? The Juventus striker has been sidelined since suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury back in January against Roma. Chiesa returned to training with Massimiliano Allegri's side at the start of October and has now moved a step closer to a first-team comeback by being named in the squad to face PSG.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Chiesa's return will be a boost to Juventus who have a lengthy injury list that includes Paul Pogba, Weston McKennie, Leandro Paredes, Dusan Vlahovic, Angel Di Maria, Mattia De Sciglio, and Kaio Jorge. Juventus have already been eliminated from the Champions League but head into the match in third place in the group and can still qualify for the Europa League.
IN THREE PHOTOS:
WHAT'S NEXT FOR CHIESA?: The Italy international will be hoping for first-team minutes before the World Cup break. After the clash with PSG, Juventus take on Inter, Verona, and Lazio in Serie A before the competition pauses for the tournament in Qatar.

Scientists call for more tests to prove safety of tanning chemical DHA
Comments from US scientists have prompted fears regarding the safety of spray tan chemical DHA when inhaled regularly and on a long-term basis.
While there is no concrete evidence to link DHA to cancer or other problems, scientists have suggested more tests are needed to prove its safety when inhaled. There are, however, no fears over its use in self tan creams.
Dr Lynn Goldman, dean of the School of Public Health and Health Services at George Washington University in Washington DC, said that additional research was required to determine the effects of DHA when inhaled.
She told US channel ABC News: “The substance seems to have a potential for what they call creating mutations or changing DNA in living cells, which is a serious problem and needs to be further investigated, yet hasn’t been.
Dr Rey Panettieri, a lung specialist from the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine, also expressed concern that DHA can enter the lungs and get absorbed into the bloodstream. “The consequences of that has not been shown to be safe,” he added.
However, he was clear that for most clients, who have a spray tan once a month, “frankly there’s probably no problem at all.”
He suggested problems may arise among more regular clients or for beauty therapists who carry out a lot of spray tanning treatments. “It could potentially lead to cancer or the worsening of asthma or COPD,” he said.
The clear message was that no dangers had yet been proved but more tests would be advisable.
In the US, the story prompted response from Government safety body the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which said: "The use of DHA in 'tanning' booths as an all-over spray has not been approved by the FDA, since safety data to support this use has not been submitted to the agency for review and evaluation." And added: "Consumers should request measures to protect their eyes and mucous membranes and prevent inhalation."

3D printing has also long since arrived in art, and so-called post-Internet artists are using the creative possibilities of 3D printing. Contemporary art fairs such as London’s Frieze Art Fair exhibit such innovative hybrid works of art created using additive manufacturing. Here is a small selection
Aleksandra Domanović, “Relay Runner” (2013)
The artist Aleksandra Domanović created this object using the laser-sintering process. For this she used PA plastic, polyurethane, soft-touch and aluminium finish and Yugoslavian chestnut wood. “Relay Runner” is one of a total of five variants of her series “Belgrade Hand”, a functioning robot hand and hand prosthesis developed by the Yugoslavian scientist Rajko Tomović for war opera. Domanović presented her interpretation in the gallery of Tanya Leighton in Berlin in different positions: From an Indian gesture for fertility and love to this object.
Peter Coffin, Untitled (Shoe) (2009)
Among other things, Peter Coffin chose polymer for his art shoe. At the exhibition he juxtaposed two versions: The shoe he found and the 3D printed shoe that mutated into a fetus with its heel pointing upwards.
Jon Rafman, “NAD (Zigzagman Malevich)” (2013)
This sculpture is a digital interpretation of a Greek bust superimposed with a sketchy drawing by Kazemir Malevich. It was printed with polyamide and then given a lacquer finish.
Yngve Holen, “Hater Head” (2013)
The artist Yngve Holen focused his “Hater Head” on the process of 3D printing and manufactured titanium screws using the metal sintering process (DLMS-EOS Direct Metal Laser Sintering). In the exhibition he then showed the finished screws, a cordless screwdriver, the attachment for the screw head, a screw drilled into the table and a video animation. A “Hater Heads” version made of white, strong but flexible nylon can be found on Shapeways!
Karin Sander, Visitors on Display (2013)
Karin Sander has been researching rapid prototyping for over ten years in collaboration with the University of Utrecht. In 2013, she presented an installation entitled “Visitors on Display” at the Lehmbruck Museum in Duisburg, which consisted of almost 1000 3D miniatures, including three dogs. They represent museum visitors between 10-22 cm in size, printed in 3D in the colour of their choice.
Morehshin Allahyari, “Material Speculation: ISIS – King Uthal” (2016)
Moreshin Allahyari is an Iranian-American artist and activist who specializes in the reconstruction of destroyed sculptures and monuments. This picture shows the resin replica of King Uthal, a nearly 3000 year old artifact from the Assyrian Empire, produced by 3D printing.
Superflex, “Investment Bank Flowerpots/ Deutsche Bank/ Marijuana” (2016)
The artist group Superflex from Copenhagen (Denmark) printed this cannabis vase in 3D and exhibited it in Basel. The “Investment Bank Flower Vases” series symbolizes the headquarters of the world’s twenty largest investment banks and serves as a vessel for the hallocinogenic plants marijuana, peyote and San Pedro cactus.
Beer Holthuis, Paper Pulp Lamp (2018)
The young Design Academy Eindhoven graduate Beer Holthuis is dedicated to 3D printing and recently designed the so-called “Paper Pulp Printer”, which processes paper pulp. With this project, Holthuis wants to make a statement that – apart from often expensive exceptions – printing is almost exclusively done with plastic instead of sustainable filament. The Paper Pulp recycles paper and produces robust and shapely objects such as this loudspeaker shell.

FIRE has caused at least $250,000 worth of damage to a Camperdown video shop.
Country Fire Authority crews went to the Manifold Street blaze around 2pm yesterday.
Camperdown CFA brigade’s Peter Stephens said crews from Camperdown and Cobden took about 40 minutes to get the blaze under control.
“The video shop will not be operating for a while,” he said.
Mr Stephens said the cause of the fire was unknown.
Rupanyup’s Dale Maggs said he was driving his utility through Camperdown on his way to Warrnambool about 3pm yesterday when he saw CFA crews attending the blaze.
“Manifold Street was blocked off by police cars and there were two appliances pumping water into what looked like the building,” he said.
“There were firemen on the roof, smoke billowing out of the roof, a fireman was brandishing an axe trying to remove corrugated iron from the roof to gain access to the fire.”
Mr Maggs said he could not see the full extent of the fire because the appliances obscured his vision, but he said it looked like the crews were trying to stop the blaze from spreading to adjacent buildings.

Mountains & Missiles
See the “Nike Missile” silos – the remnants of the cold war between the US and Russia – sit just to East of Anchorage.
Leaving Merrill Field in the heart of downtown Anchorage, your flight will head east toward the Chugach Mountain Range. On your left you will see the expanse of Elmendorf Air Force Base and Ft. Richardson Army base. As you continue east you will fly through Powerline Pass over Indian Creek and Arctic Valley which will bring your around to the top of Site Summit and the Nike Missile silos of the cold war.
Depending on weather the flight might be able to get all the way to Ship Lake. This is a stunning low altitude alpine lake caught in the mountainous bowl behind Flat Top. The ride down Indian Pass, with Powerline Pass on the right, offers stunning views of Turnagain Arm, Beluga Point and across to the Kenai Peninsula. The return to Anchorage keeps “Sleeping Lady” (Mt. Susitna) out the front window, and as you turn into the Anchorage Hillside area, on a clear day, you can easily see Denali and Mt. Foraker in the near distance.
On our way back down, you’ll get an aerial view of the Ft. Richardson hydro-electric dam. Many Alaskans do not even know it is there! This is a great local area tour.
