Tyson Foods to acquire part of Brazil Foods, expand global operations
(TALK BUSINESS & POLITICS)Tyson Foods on Thursday (Feb. 7) announced the pending acquisition of the Thai and European operations of Brazil Foods for $340 million. The deal will expand Tyson’s global footprint and include four processing facilities in Thailand, a processing facility in the Netherlands and in the United Kingdom.
This deal with BRF S.A. is expected to close by the third quarter and is part of the company’s strategy to expand its product offerings of value-added (higher margin) protein in global markets.
CEO Noel White said some of the biggest growth opportunities in protein are in international markets. He said the acquisition of the integrated BRF facilities will help complement and strengthen Tyson’s presence in Thailand, and provide new capabilities in Europe. White said almost of the Brazil Foods products are higher margin, and there is little commodity chicken exposure.
Tyson said the Thailand operations are fulling integrated with feed mill, hatchery, breeder and grower farms and four processing facilities. The plants produce fresh and frozen chicken, raw and fully-cooked poultry products for retail and foodservice customers in Asia and other export markets, including Europe.
The processing locations in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom are supported by in-house innovation capabilities for developing further-processed chicken products for European retail and foodservice customers.

The Volkswagen Golf is a quintessential hatchback model that's produced in Germany and available worldwide. While the body style has evolved over the car's seven generations, it has still retained the original offering's classic character. The Golf is Volkswagen's best-selling vehicle, as of 2018, and it's also one of the top three best-selling vehicles in the world, alongside the Ford F-Series and Toyota Corolla.
Volkswagen Golfs are unofficially titled by generation using the European acronym 'Mk,' which means 'mark.' For example, the seventh generation is often referred to as the Golf MkVII, Mk7, or simply the Golf 7 or VII.
2012 - Present Volkswagen Golf (7th Generation)
Although the Gulf Mk7 was originally released in 2012, it wasn't made available in the United States until 2015. While the body size was larger than the Mk6, it weighed approximately 200 pounds less, give or take, depending on the buyer's engine choice.
The Mk7 is especially noted for its excellent safety rating as well as many updated features such as an upgraded steering system that delivers sharper handling, an automatic post-collision braking system, and an integrated touchscreen.
In the U.S., the seventh-generation Golf was initially offered with a 1.8-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 170 horsepower, but eventually it was replaced by a 1.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder.
Golf enthusiasts seeking a more powerful engine may want to opt for the Golf GTI, as it features a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that delivers 210 horsepower and can accelerate from 0 - 60 mph in just 6.1 seconds. While the GTI does sacrifice gas mileage, the difference in miles per gallon compared to the base model is negligible. The GTI also has a sportier exterior thanks to its modern side skirts and red-accented honeycomb mesh grille, and the GTI's interior is updated with sporty plaid seats. GTI buyers can choose between a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission.
Those who crave even more performance than the GTI delivers can turn to the Golf R. Available as a three or five-door hatchback, the Golf R is the most powerful Golf available and comes in all-wheel-drive. It features a newly developed version of the same engine that comes with the GTI, however, in this application it can produce a staggering 292 horsepower and it can travel 0 - 62 mph in just 5.1 seconds.
The Volkswagen e-Golf is another exciting addition to the lineup, combining a comfortable, spacious interior with a cutting-edge electric engine. The e-Golf's electric engine can deliver up to 115 horsepower with no gas required. The engine can run for 83 miles on a single charge, which is comparable to 105 miles per gallon on the highway or 126 miles per gallon in the city.
2008 - 2012 Volkswagen Golf (6th Generation)
The sixth generation Golf was produced in Europe from 2008 - 2012, and in the United States from 2010 - 2014. The Golf Mk6 was heavier and lower than previous models.
The sixth generation took a design cue from the first-generation Golf, adopting the original model's classic horizontal radiator grille. The hatchback's shoulder design was more contoured for a more modern aesthetic.
Buyers could choose from three powertrains: a 2.5-liter 5-cylinder engine, a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine, and a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine (in the GTI model).
2003 - 2008 Volkswagen Golf (5th Generation)
The fifth generation Golf was produced in Europe from 2003 - 2008 and in the United States from 2006 - 2009. The Mk5 was designed to be more comfortable than previous iterations of the vehicle, and it also had features to boost performance.
Updated features include four-link rear suspension, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a 7-speed DSG transmission, and bi-xenon headlights.
The GTI model marks the first turbocharged direct-injection gas engine, and the GT Twincharger model boasted the first turbocharged/supercharged engine. The body design was slightly larger than previous models, providing more cargo space and interior room.
VW called this generation of Golf 'the Rabbit' in an homage to the model's name from several generations earlier though it eventually dropped the 'Rabbit' name on the next-gen model and resumed calling the hatchback the Golf.
1997 - 2003 Volkswagen Golf (4th Generation)
Although the fourth generation Golf was produced in Europe in 1997, it wasn't available in the United States until 1999.
The Mk4 offered the first all-wheel-drive Golf, as well as electronic stability control. Updated technology included an integrated navigation system and xenon headlights.
The fourth-generation Golf also came with a Haldex clutch, which eventually became the 4Motion all-wheel-drive system used today.
The vehicle offered a range of engine options, and in 2004 the high-performance all-wheel-drive R32 model was viewed as the sportiest Golf model to date, and it boasted a 3.2-liter VR6 engine that delivered up to 240 horsepower.
1991 - 1997 Volkswagen Golf (3rd Generation)
Although the Mk3 was available in Europe in 1991, it wasn't made available in the United States until 1994.
The third generation Golf is known for its updated safety features, including front passenger and eventually side airbags.
Other third-generation updates include the first 6-cylinder VR6 engine, the Ecomatic transmission, and cruise control.
The Mk3 came standard with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that delivered 115 horsepower.
Buyers who wanted more power could also select the high-performance GTI model that featured a 2.9-liter VR6 engine that could produce up to 172 horsepower.
1983 - 1991 Volkswagen Golf (2nd Generation)
While the second-generation Golf was produced in Europe in 1983, it wasn't available in the United States until 1985. Fans of the original Golf wanted more leg room and more interior space in general, and Volkswagen delivered with an additional 2.2 inches in body width and 6.7 inches in length.
Improvements on the first generation Golf include anti-lock brakes, power steering, and a catalytic converter.
The Mk2 came stock with a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine that produced 85 horsepower, or those who craved more power could opt for the GTI model that delivered 102 horsepower (or 131 horsepower, as of 1988).
1974 - 1984 Volkswagen Golf (1st Generation)
The original Golf was produced in Europe in 1974 to replace the Beetle. It wasn't until 1975 that U.S. buyers were able to buy the vehicle, which was sold under the name 'Rabbit.'
The first generation Golf was noted for its excellent handling and practical size -- a perfect family car.
The Golf Mk1 marks Volkswagen's switch from using rear-wheel-drive and rear-mounted, air-cooled engines in the Beetle to designing cars with front-wheel drive and front-mounted, water-cooled engines.
The original MK1's engine was a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder that delivered 70 horsepower, and Volkswagen released a slightly lower-powered diesel engine option soon after.

State lawmakers rejected a bill Tuesday that would have discouraged crossover voting in Republican and Democratic primaries.
Legislation that would have required Tennessee voters to say they are voting in the primary that most closely reflects their values was defeated on a voice vote by the House Local Government Committee. The measure, an amendment to House Bill 1833, was filed by state Rep. Joe Carr, a Lascassas Republican who is waging a tea party challenge to U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander.
“We’re trying to inhibit people who cross vote for no other purpose than to tamper with the election,” he said.
Tennessee does not register voters by their party affiliations. The state’s only restriction is a requirement that voters be “bona fide” Republicans or Democrats, a rule that has left it to the parties themselves to determine if crossover voting improperly influenced the outcome of an election.
State Rep. Vince Dean said Carr’s bill would have forced voters to choose the party they favor, rather than the best candidates.
“One of the biggest problems we’ve got in Nashville is the R or the D that go after our name,” said Dean, R-East Ridge.

HomeLink Magazine Summer 2017: Local Agriculture Industry
Sustainability + Resiliency = Prosperity
By: Todd Hagenbuch, CSU Extension
Photos Courtesy CSU Extension
In the ten years since HomeLink has been promoting “Sustainable Building, Sustainable Living,” the term sustainability has really described how, as a society, we can live in a way that enables our communities to thrive without unnecessary damage to the ecosystem that supports us. In the past five years, however, the word resiliency has been used as often, or more often, than sustainability to describe how we can interact with a changing environment and still prosper.
Ohio State University, one of Colorado State University’s Land Grant University partners, sums up this relationship between sustainability and resilience well. The OSU Center for Resilience states that, “Resilience—resisting disorder—may be the key to global sustainability.”
One group especially emblematic of the concept of resiliency in search of sustainability is growers—farmers, ranchers, and gardeners. By necessity, our local growers have shown a great deal of resiliency in the past ten years and likely this quality will continue to be an asset in the next ten. What did we learn from the past decade that we can carry forward?
Commodities markets are variable. The past ten years has seen some of the highest payments for producers. Cattle ranchers sold not only their calf crop for the best prices ever, but their culls, too. In October of 2014, steer calves, the bread and butter for most Yampa Valley cattle producers, were selling for $300/cwt, or $3/lb. In October 2016, they were worth less than half of that at around $140/cwt, or $1.40/lb—while expenses remained the same.
Wheat producers in the Yampa Valley saw similar price gains as grains and other commodities broke new price records. The past couple of years, however, has seen a dramatic drop in the prices our producers are getting, and with producers getting well below $5/bushel for wheat, some stand to lose money if they even bother to plant a crop.
Real estate markets are variable, too. The past ten years has seen the real estate markets drop and climb. As this publication was making its debut, the housing market was holding its own, followed by a dramatic free-fall. While this decline devastated many, it also brought about an opportunity for some to buy real estate. Food producers experienced the same roller coaster ride with their land values, and while some benefited by being able to buy productive lands, others weren’t so lucky.
The amount of precipitation we get in the West is variable. While most long-time westerners can tell you this has always been the case, it was never as evident as it was in the years of 2011 and 2012. 2011 saw record snowfall in the mountains around the Steamboat Springs, and runoff that spring, while slow, led to flooding throughout the Yampa Valley. The very next year, a severe drought hit our area, and anyone who grew anything felt it. Cattle were culled and sold, hay meadows that were typically put up weren’t, and gardens, yards, and trees throughout the area felt the repercussions fully.
Temperatures in our area fluctuate—always. Just last summer saw an early spring and a late fall, which should have meant a longer growing season. But right in the middle of that long period of frost-free days, an unexpected dip into the upper 20s in mid-July took many plants, especially garden vegetables, out of production.
Resiliency in Action. Our producers and community are more resilient as a result of the last ten years, and programs and policy changes have also occurred that will help us remain more resilient into the next decade. The Community Agriculture Alliance (CAA) has created an online local food market for local producers to sell directly to consumers, helping to even out market volatility. CSU Extension and the CAA are working to create a Land Link program that helps get young, beginning producers on lands being held by retiring or absentee landowners in an effort to keep lands productive even if they aren’t affordable. The dam at Stagecoach Reservoir was raised to help reserve a bit more water when we have it for the lean times. Routt County enacted new policies to make it easier to build greenhouses, so climate variability can be mitigated. And xeric and water-wise landscapes using native plants and trees are becoming more common in our neighborhoods, helping to create a community more resilient for our birds, beneficial insects, and ourselves.
There will be one constant in the next ten years, just as there was in the past ten: variability and disorder. Knowing that, ask yourself what can you and our community do now to be more resilient—sustainability depends on it.

Hands up who has heard of Saint Sorlin d’Arves, never mind skied it? No takers? No surprise, it’s a place where you won’t find another Australian for miles around. Or many other freeriding foreigners. But it’s part of the combined Les Sybelles ski circus, 6 areas total, which just happens to be the fourth largest in all of France. Shaun Mittwollen checked it out for Snow Action in March.
All the Les Sybelles areas have their charms, but if you want to get serious Saint Sorlin is located at the southern and steepest end of the multi-area conglomerate. Here the Étendard Glacier winds down from the 3464m Pic de l’Etendard, carving out Nunatak-like peaks that rise sharply out of the snowy landscape. Below that, wonderful more gradual terrain rolls down into the quaint village. Here an array of traditional wooden houses and market stalls line a Main Street that’s vibrantly alive with a holiday vibe. In typical Savoie fashion, much of the produce sold is farmed right under the lifts during the summer season.
The terrain at Les Sybelles encompasses a broad range, with everything from wide open groomers to steep gnarly chutes that toy with your confidence.
But of particular interest to freeriders are the couloirs and rocky bowls that flank the Les 3 Lacs zone in the upper zone of Saint Sorlin. Here a series of wide open amphitheatres are walled in by steep faces and increasingly technical couloirs. These go from relatively mellow all the way up to seemingly suicidal options that are somehow possible, at least according to local freerider Nathan Bariller.
Although the open bowls are well controlled for avalanches by the patrol, its always a risk exiting the resort boundaries to ski the more exciting terrain. Given the reputation for instability in the Alps, avalanche equipment along with the correct knowledge are even more stringently required than elsewhere.
Perhaps the most obvious chute at Les 3 Lacs is the spectacular Rectilian couloir. Passing through bands of near vertically folded rock layers that characterise the region’s high peaks, the fairly tight entry descends into a wide open chute that pours dead straight through the rocks at about 45 degrees for around 400m of vertical before fanning out into the apron.
When it’s windy vicious spindrift makes climbing transitions to downhill mode at the top quick. Then you drop into what could either be windblown powder or European style ice that has been blasted by wind and stripped bare by sluff. This is, in all conditions, a classic European line. There may not be ideal snow, but the technicality of the variable snow and scenery of entombing rock make for an exciting descent even if you get lucky with the snow.
The resort caters mostly to families and European visitors seeking annual week of skiing, so the competition for the expansive off piste is limited to the occasional local, or pack of French freeriders striking the area for a day trip. International visitors with a taste for off piste freeriding are likewise usually attracted more to the big name resorts. Which all leaves an unusally relaxed feel when it comes to scoring fresh lines.
When the avalanche guns are booming at 6am in the morning at Saint Sorlin the rush to get up on the slopes is less frantic. it’s a nice alternative to battling with hundreds of frothing riders, each more keen than the last, heading off-piste at better known spots. Indeed, such is the expansive nature of the resort it’s certainly possible to find great off piste conditions for several days after snowfalls. Many hidden or not so hidden corners are only revealed after a few days of exploration. This is what goes with the territory exploring new places. Sometimes you score, sometimes you don’t. But in the spirit of the unknown, its always worth a roll of the dice!

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.” Carl Sandburg
When I was visiting Mom last month, I took a lot of pictures, did a lot of walking, observing, and contemplating life. Outside her building, there is a lovely fountain that provides a bit of ambience and a respite for thirsty birds. After my morning walk/run, I would sit on the shaded bench, cooling off and thinking about my day.
Now, those of you that know me already know that there is always a song or a show tune in my head. So, when I stood up to go inside one morning, I noticed that there were two pennies in the fountain. Well, that just wasn’t right! There must be three coins , because I started singing, “Three coins in the fountain.” (I’m sure if you are younger than 60, you probably have no idea what I’m talking about.) I went upstairs, grabbed a penny from my purse, and returned to the fountain to make a wish and sing a show tune. ( Yes, I’m a nut!)
There were only two, now there are three.
Frank Sinatra sang it for the movie, but Doris Day did much better. No offense to Frank. I adore Frank.
Three Coins in the Fountain is a 1954 American romantic comedy film directed by Jean Negulesco and starring Clifton Webb, Dorothy McGuire, Jean Peters, Louis Jourdan, Rossano Brazzi, and Maggie McNamara. Written by John Patrick, the film is about three American women working in Rome who dream of finding romance in the Eternal City.
The film’s main title song “Three Coins in the Fountain” (sung by an uncredited Frank Sinatra) went on to become an enduring standard. The story was adapted by John Patrick from the novel Coins in the Fountain by John H. Secondari. It was made in Italy during the “Hollywood on the Tiber” era.

NEPZA, FIRS signs MOU to boost revenue collection at nation’s free trade zone areas across country.
Written by News Room on June 9, 2022
The Nigeria Export Processing Zones Authority (NEPZA) and the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding [MOU], to boost revenue collection at the nation’s free trade zone areas across the country.
Speaking at the signing ceremony recently in Abuja, NEPZA Managing Director, Prof. Adesoji Adesugba said the MOU only aims at unbundling and strengthening existing tax schedules for compliance purposes in line with Section 19 of the NEPZA Act.
According to him, section 19 of the ACT mandates free zones enterprises to file returns for statistical data, as such information makes public the records of sales, purchases and other key operations of the enterprises as the Authority may require from time to time in line with the Act.
According to him, the zone scheme comes with huge prospects and challenges but the authority in collaboration with other agencies like the Customs, FIRS, and other stakeholders is currently working assiduously, re-tweaking its operations to ensure the scheme yields the desired impact in the nation’s economy.

Vail Daily travel: Otherworldly Turkish landscapes
Vail, CO Colorado
Editor’s note: Dennis Jones and Yolanda Marshall are currently on a cultural exchange in Turkey. This is the fourth story in a series of articles that will be published in upcoming Sunday High Life sections. See more photos on Dennis’ blog at http://www.dreamcatcherimaging.com/blog.
It’s a lovely evening. The air is comfortably warm, the hospitality warmer still. We arrive in Konya from Antalya after dark to find two host families waiting at an outdoor restaurant flanked by two, brightly lit, 900-year-old tombs. Three teenage girls, one wearing a headscarf, all shyly giggling, practice their English with us.
Konya is the spiritual center of the Sufism. Here, the great poet and teacher, Rumi, lived 800 years ago. Sufism is the most peaceful and spiritual of Muslim sects. The roots of the Whirling Dervishes are here. The Mevlani Way is an ascetic, spiritual life. Apprenticeship entailed a final test; meditating in the communal kitchen for days without food as meals were prepared around you.
It is evident from the women’s dress that Konya is the most traditional of the places we’ve visited thus far. Many more women with headscarves are on the streets. Most wear the shapeless, full-length overcoat of the devout and there is a hint of ethnicity in their style of scarf and flowery skirts.
As we approach the Mevlana Museum, its green dome sets it off as different from other mosques. The colorful gardens surrounding the complex are immaculately maintained. Sculpted rose bushes and topiary set amidst lush green lawns give color and style to the sanctuary.
I would love to have photographed inside the tomb. The marble walls are covered with flowing Arabic script and, like most mosques, the ceiling is a delight of design. On display are many elaborately illuminated Korans. The beauty of the calligraphy and wealth and creativity of their gilt illustrations captivate me. Unfortunately, no photography is allowed, something, as a professional, I always respect.
Lunch is at a primary school built by a local businessman and follower of Fetullah Gülen. This is the first day of school. Garlands of balloons welcome the students. Lunch is with one of the teachers. Peppered by questions from our inquisitive group, we learn that English is taught from the primary level and that the success rate in the Gülen schools is exceptionally high. The vast majority of students pass the national college entrance test and graduate from university.
Music sounds in the hallway. It’s the end of a period and the corridors fill with happy voices. Our group wades out amongst the excited throngs, cameras in hand. We are met with many “Hellos,” “What is your names?” and “Where are you froms?” For a quick five minutes the smiling faces of beautiful, happy children besiege us, making the most of this strange group of visitors who enhance their first-day-of-school enthusiasm.
Next on the agenda is the incredible, in the truest sense of the word, fairytale landscape of Cappodocia. First though, a tour of the subterranean world of Kamakli. In the 6th and 7th centuries, Christians, fearing the Persians and Arabs, carved large, underground cities from the soft, volcanic rock. There are more than 100 in the region. Only a few are excavated and open to tourists.
This city is a labyrinth of rooms, stables, passageways, and churches extending eight levels below the surface. It is cleverly excavated to allow airflow from the surface. Smoke from the cooking fires was absorbed by the soft rock, hindering detection. Up to 3,000 people took refuge for months at a time. It must have been a cramped, uncomfortable and desperate existence with little privacy.
A short drive takes us to Göreme where, even though prepared, I am astounded by the amazing honeycombed, rock pinnacles. Doors, windows and porches are carved into the volcanic tuft. I can only imagine the interiors of these “houses.” Many are hotels. Rooms can be had for a little as $50 with rooms in high-end hotels going for hundreds of dollars a night.
Imperative is the Göreme Open-Air Museum, a monastic complex of Byzantine churches carved into the rock. Vivid, colorful frescoes, most in exceptional condition, adorn the walls and ceilings of these tiny, 12th century churches.
Sadly, our itinerary doesn’t include a night here. I have to be satisfied with a morsel of what Cappodocia offers. Truly, this region of Turkey is so phenomenally otherworldly that I must return and spend days wandering its valleys, exploring its ancient wonders and photographing its bizarre, fairytale formations.

A 1-yard touchdown sneak by Blue Devils quarterback Thomas Sirk — helped by three pass-interference calls on Miami on the drive — made it a 27-24 near-final.
But it wasn’t.
On the ensuing kickoff, Corn Elder wound up with the ball at his 8-yard line in the multi-lateral play. The ball hit the ground twice. He somehow found his way up the field and into the end zone with the clock at 0:00.
After a tense review of several minutes, the entire stadium standing, Miami players incensed and Duke players waiting, referee Jerry Magallanes announced the call.
The would-be penalty — a block in the back — was a legal block from the side. Elder's kickoff return, officially in the books at 75 yards, kept Miami (5-3, 2-2 ACC) in the Coastal Division race and knocked Duke (6-2, 3-1) out of first.
A most thrilling way for quarterback Malik Rosier and interim coach Larry Scott to debut, on a night where players were playing for themselves and junior cornerback Artie Burns, whose mother died Tuesday.
Rosier, a redshirt freshman making his first career start in the absence of the ACC’s leading passer, Brad Kaaya (concussion), went 20 of 29 for 272 yards, with two touchdowns and one interception. He threw for the highest yardage total by a debuting Hurricanes starter since at least 1999.
Scott, the former tight ends coach promoted after UM fired Al Golden last Sunday, coached his first game as a head coach at any level.
Rosier, from Mobile, Ala., had a better first start than Kenny Kelly (245 yards in 1999) and every other Hurricanes quarterback since. His play helped Miami overcome a school record 23 penalties for 194 yards.
In his previous four games, Rosier completed 9-of-28 attempts for 66 yards and two interceptions. He looked nothing like that shaky newcomer as he hit Herb Waters for a 33-yard touchdown to make it 7-0 at 11:54 of the second quarter.
That drive started after linebacker Jermaine Grace forced a fumble inside the red zone, which was recovered by Rayshawn Jenkins. Grace, a junior, set a career-high in the first half alone, with 12 tackles, one for loss. He finished with 18.
On Miami’s next drive, it received a lift from the largest man on either team, 6-foot-8, 322-pound right tackle Sunny Odogwu. Fullback Walter Tucker fumbled. The ball squirted to the back of the end zone. It sat there for several seconds, unnoticed, until Odogwu surged and fell on it to make it 14-0.
Miami held Duke to a 27-yard field goal 3:22 before halftime.
Players wore T-shirts under their uniforms to honor Dana Smith, Burns' mother who died unexpectedly at 44 on Tuesday, about 36 hours after Golden was dismissed. Before the game, players marched arm-in-arm to the field and prayed together in the end zone, with Burns at the front of the pack.
Burns, clearly emotional, broke up two passes, made three tackles and committed three penalties.
Duke was fired up, too.
Jela Duncan broke through at least four Miami tackles on his way to a 24-yard touchdown run that made it 14-10 at 12:51 of the third quarter. The Blue Devils pulled within two points as Rosier made two freshman mistakes.
He drove Miami down the field, throwing a 20-yard laser on second-and-10 from his own 10-yard line, and floating a 32-yard completion to Stacy Coley. He had missed on four passes to that point (16-of-20 for 209 yards and a touchdown). But Duke freshman cornerback Jeremy McDuffie watched his eyes and stepped in front of a pass, returning the interception 25 yards to Miami’s 45.
On the next drive, Duke rushed him until he committed an intentional grounding penalty in the end zone. The safety made it 14-12 at 2:12 of the third.
But Rosier responded again, throwing a 19-yard touchdown to Stacy Coley with 11:02 left. Michael Badgley added a 37-yard field goal with 5:54 left.
Sirk cut the lead to five with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Johnell Barnes with 2:40 left.

The Kansas City Chiefs fell short in a wild Sunday night game against the Baltimore Ravens in which they lost an 11-point fourth-quarter lead and saw the Ravens triumph by a score of 36-35.
Patrick Mahomes and the passing offense put up fantastic production and it seemed everyone made at least one great play. This includes including Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Byron Pringle, Demarcus Robinson, Mecole Hardman and Tyreek Hill. Unfortunately, the offense stalled out later in the game and the defense continued getting dominated, having the worst run defense production in recent NFL history through two weeks and having tons of missed tackles. These came primarily from Daniel Sorensen, who has nine missed tackles — three more than any other player in the NFL.
The Chiefs' next game will be a Sunday home game at noon against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers are showing that they are likely to live up to their hype this season, as Justin Herbert has continued to make some of the most impressive throws among any quarterback in the NFL (though his stats don't really reflect it). They also have a really talented defense featuring Derwin James, Joey Bosa, Chris Harris Jr. and rookie Asante Samuel Jr. all kicking off their seasons strong. That game is going to be a wild one.
This is quite stunning to look at. The Chiefs had nearly twice the EPA per play that the Ravens did in their offense, with an insane 0.54 EPA per pass and 0.77 EPA per early-down pass. The Ravens, unfortunately, had about a perfect day on the ground, reaching 0.25 EPA per rush, including 0.53 EPA per late-down rush. The late downs were brutal for the Chiefs, with -0.54 EPA per play with all six being passes and the Mahomes interception dropping it from around 0.2 EPA to -3.2 EPA.
The top offensive weapons for the Chiefs in this game were Travis Kelce (6.9 EPA), Byron Pringle (4.8 EPA) and Demarcus Robinson (2.8 EPA), while the most damaging ones for them were Clyde Edwards-Helaire (-4.3 EPA over 14 plays) and Tyreek Hill (0.0 EPA over five plays). For the Ravens, they had 2.2 EPA when targeting Marquise Brown and 2.8 EPA when targeting Mark Andrews, but a shocking -6.6 EPA when targeting Sammy Watkins. Minus-7.2 EPA came on the Tyrann Mathieu pick-six, as Watkins slipped mid-route right when Lamar Jackson started throwing his way.
This is the thing that makes the end result here so totally shocking. Mahomes had a 0.54 EPA per play, which ranks in the 95th percentile, and a 17.7 total EPA, which ranks in the 92nd percentile. Jackson, on the other hand, had a mere 0.18 EPA per play and 8.3 total EPA, neither of which ranked higher than the 71st percentile. Mahomes put up a high-level performance, while Jackson put on an above-average performance. The Ravens still came out on top in the end.
Four of the top five plays and five of the top eight plays of the game went in favor of the Chiefs. The top two plays of the game were Tyrann Mathieu's pick-six on the first drive of the game, which was -7.2 EPA for the Ravens and raised the Chiefs' win probability from 69% to 80%, and Mahomes' touchdown pass to Kelce, which was 4.7 EPA for the Chiefs and raised their win probability from 77% to 89%. In terms of win probability, the most impactful play was in fact the Edwards-Helaire fumble, which took the Chiefs' win probability from 73% to 16% in an instant. The Chiefs' other turnover, the Mahomes interception, only dropped their win probability from 94% to 89%.
This is a brutal sight if you're a Chiefs fan. The Chiefs opened the game with a 65.2% win probability, had it bump up to 80.2% almost immediately, and saw it be over 85% for a large chunk of the third quarter. With 3:24 left in the third quarter, it saw a peak of 95.2%, but after that, it all fell apart. It might be a while before we see this happen to the Chiefs again, so be thankful that the team has Mahomes and expect the best from here on out.
Through two weeks, the Chiefs have had the clear top offense in the NFL for EPA per play, with 0.307 EPA per play, divided with a 0.541 EPA per dropback and a -0.194 EPA per run. On the other hand, they have also had the 30th-ranked defense, only bettering the Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions. They have allowed 0.196 EPA per play, with 0.227 EPA per dropback and a woeful 0.166 EPA per run. They also have a 59.7% success rate against run plays (the worst in the league by over six percent) and a 58.7% success rate against dropbacks, ranking 30th.
On the other hand, the second-best offense in the NFL so far this season is the Denver Broncos', thanks to a terrific start for Teddy Bridgewater. The Broncos have a 0.236 EPA per play and 0.394 EPA per dropback, which aren't near the Chiefs' numbers but are still great.
Mahomes has the league's best EPA and EPA+CPOE composite per play (dropbacks, designed runs and penalized plays) among quarterbacks so far this season, with a 0.541 EPA per play and a 0.300 EPA+CPOE composite. The other quarterbacks in the top five for EPA+CPOE composite are Teddy Bridgewater (0.285), Sam Darnold (0.274), Kyler Murray (0.264) and Baker Mayfield (0.257).
It's a wild contrast to what many expected so far, as along with the surprise showings in the top five, you also see many showings lower than anticipated. Josh Allen is ranked 28th of 31 (0.003), Ryan Tannehill is ranked 23rd (0.103), Dak Prescott is 13th (0.152) and Aaron Rodgers checks in at 10th (0.198).
Lastly, there's early-down passing rate. This shows which teams are the most pass-heavy or run-heavy teams in the NFL. On the season, the Chiefs have the sixth-highest early-down pass rate, standing at 63.9%. For Week 2, the Chiefs had the eighth-highest early-down pass rate at 62.2%.
On said early downs, the Chiefs had a 0.754 EPA per pass, which ranked second, and 0.024 EPA per run, which ranked 11th. The Chargers, the Chiefs' Week 3 opponents, currently rank fourth with a 64.8% early-down pass rate. On the other hand, they rank 27th in early-down EPA per pass with a -0.152 EPA. This will be an interesting development to watch on Sunday.


The text messages, which The Atlanta Journal-Constitution obtained under the Open Records Act, appear to contradict the official story by university President Sam Olens that the decision to delay the timing of the cheerleaders’ entrance onto the field for football games was made by the athletic department and had nothing to do with the protest.
“Legally I’m not sure they can stop or do anything to stop someone from this Un America ACT [sic],” Warren wrote to Ehrhart.
In a different message, he reported that he had talked to Olens and been “assured” that the cheerleaders would not be on field until after the national anthem, which once had been the practice but at some point changed.
“Thanks for always standing up too [sic] these liberal that hate the USA,” Warren wrote to Ehrhart, who chairs the committee that allocates funds to public universities.
KSU cheerleaders speak out
In a follow-up message, Ehrhart seemed to confirm that Olens had caved to pressure: “He had to be dragged there but with you and I pushing he had no choice. Thanks for your patriotism my friend.”
In another text, Warren wrote, “Not letting the cheerleaders come out on the field until after national anthem was one of the recommendations that Earl and I gave him!”
Warren also said that Olens initially told Warren’s wife that Olens didn’t have the authority to do anything, and that “Pissed [Warren] off more!”
Olens could not immediately be reached for comment.
He cancelled a scheduled interview with the AJC last week, but responded in writing to a series of emailed questions, including: “Was there any pressure or demands from any individuals and organizations to change the policy regarding cheerleaders at sporting events?”
“No,” Olens wrote. “Decisions about game day programming is the responsibility of KSU's Department of Athletics and they have been clear about their reasons for making the adjustment.”
School officials had said the change was one of several made to improve the “fan experience.”
Ehrhart had also denied that he asked Olens to keep the cheerleaders off the field.
UPDATE: In an emailed statement Tuesday, Ehrhart said his private comments to Sheriff Warren expressed his personal feelings, and he stands by them.
“I urge President Olens to stand firm against any student publicly disrespecting our flag at a football game or any college event,” he said. “I say that as a private citizen.”

Batman v Superman is not a movie that inspires strong feelings; it’s a ponderous, incoherent film that mostly summons up a dull distaste. And yet, one aspect of it filled me with a profound civic disgust, like witnessing a congressman steal from a child: Throughout the film, journalists, including Anderson Cooper and Soledad O’Brien, showed up to comment on the onscreen action. This is wrong. This should not be. Journalists should not play themselves in superhero films.
The issue is not one of taste. Batman v Superman is a terrible film, make no mistake, but these journalists’ cameos would be equally reprehensible had they taken place in a fine film, or a good film, or even a great film. As it happens, Batman v Superman’s utter ineptitude only highlights the cravenness on display: These reporters, who hold themselves as stewards of the public trust, sold themselves out for a movie that turned out to be the comic-book equivalent of The Room. DJ Khaled has a word for that.
That’s right — sold themselves out. As much as the dignity of the profession is repeatedly and outrageously violated every day (if not every hour), journalism, at least in theory, remains an institution with a moral commitment to the public: To report the news, fairly and honestly; to expose injustice; to offer readers insights into a world they may not know. Is it naïve to think that, by signing on to read fake news reports about rampaging aliens threatening a fictional city, these reporters have subsumed those noble goals in order to promote their own personal brands?
It’s worth noting, of course, that Cooper’s role in Batman v Superman may not have been entirely up to him: Warner Bros., the film’s studio, shares a parent company with CNN, his employer*. In a film that has cross-promotion baked into its creative DNA, it’s possible his cameos were part of a mandatory corporate branding initiative. But, if anything, this possibility is even worse. If journalists so easily bend to the will of their bosses when it comes to appearing in a Zack Snyder movie, how can we expect them to fight when reporting on issues where the interests of the public conflict with the corporation’s bottom line?
Cooper and O’Brien aren’t alone — plenty of other media figures, from Nancy Grace to Neil deGrasse Tyson, have cameos in the film. Where do you draw the line? We’ll admit it’s fuzzy: Though Tyson moonlights as a film critic, he doesn’t have the same responsibilities to the public as a reporter. Likewise with some of the others. Andrew Sullivan is retired and can do whatever he wants, while Nancy Grace is basically playing the fictional character “Nancy Grace” on television anyway. Their appearances in Batman v Superman embarrass only themselves.
How should superhero movies handle the media, then? Why not follow the example of The Dark Knight and make journalists actual characters in your film? Casting actors as fictional journalists not only makes for a better performance, it also results in more interesting stories: Freed from responsibility to any real-life networks, Anthony Michael Hall’s sleazy news anchor could be a fully fledged actor in that film’s drama.
In recent decades, it’s become commonplace to ask journalists to constrain their personal behavior in deference to their role as objective arbiters of truth. We’re comfortable asking reporters not to endorse candidates, express political opinions, or even cheer in a press box. I’m not going that far. All I’m asking is for journalists not to appear in superhero films, for the good of the republic. That’s not too much to ask for, is it?
*This post originally stated that CNN was O’Brien’s employer. She left the cable network in 2013 to launch her own production company, which produces content for CNN and HBO.

Chinese travellers are purchasing travel insurance at higher rates than ever before, according to a new report from China-based online travel agency Ctrip International Ltd. The number of Chinese holidaymakers buying travel cover for their outbound trips grew by 20 per cent in 2018 compared with the year before, a trend largely driven by an increasing number of seniors heading off on trips, a wider variety of exotic locations on offer for holidays, and ever-more expensive gadgets needing to be packed – and therefore protected.
Ctrip also found that when it came to travel insurance payouts for Chinese travellers in 2018, 46 per cent were for compensation for changes to travel schedules, 35 per cent were for travel delays and 15 per cent were to cover the cost of medical care.
In terms of local destinations, Guangzhou (Guangdong province), Xiamen (Fujian province) and the Hainan province in China were worst for flight delays, while for overseas destinations, Indonesia, the Maldives and the Philippines were the worst.
The highest proportion of outbound Chinese travellers who took out travel insurance, according to Ctrip, were found to be heading to Europe, at least partly because applying for a Schengen Visa mandates travel cover as a prerequisite. This was followed by Sri Lanka, New Zealand and Indonesia.

You’ve been contemplating a trip through the trifecta of Anglo-Saxon history: Scotland, Ireland, and Britain. Would you rather be completely spontaneous? Certainly spontaneity can be fun, but why risk missing out on a personalized itinerary and making the most of your time and money? Savvy travelers embrace a vacation package that suits their desires perfectly. One way to maximize your vacation experience would be to take the scenic route and enjoy what planned luxury tours, whether independent, escorted, or group, have to offer. And for film and television fans, these tours can even take you to some of the most famous film sets in cinema history.
Harry Potter, Game Of Thrones, And Braveheart All Filmed At British Castles
Scotland, Ireland, and Britain no doubt have some of the most beautiful castles, landmarks, and scenic attractions in the world. As a vacation destination, this corner of Europe has a lot to offer. As a result, it can be overwhelming to decide what you want to see and when you want to see it, depending on the time you have available. There are more than 30,000 castles and castle ruins spread throughout the 32,595 sq miles of Ireland, and you don’t want to miss a beat. Not only can you visit historical sites, but you can also explore iconic destinations featured in such films and television shows as “Braveheart,” “Mary Poppins,” or even “Game of Thrones.” Big and small screen entertainment is often an escape from reality for 1-2 hours of your life. You can make it your true reality by booking a small group tour of Ireland or a private guided tour of Scotland for a more memorable experience.
Braveheart In Real Life: Separating Fact From Fiction
Fiction: The iconic movie “Braveheart” was shot entirely in Scotland because it is based loosely on the story of a Scottish war hero. Fact: “Braveheart” was filmed in both Scotland and Ireland. According to Scotland: The movie location guide, the Scottish scenes were filmed in and around Glen Coe, Glen Nevis, and the Mamore mountains. The Irish filming sites included Trim Castle and Dunsoghly Castle. As a tourist, filming locations may not be as obvious as Big Ben in Mary Poppins, which is why planning a Scotland Castle tour or a Castle vacation tour in Ireland with a seasoned tour guide as your chauffeur would be beneficial. You can arrange to see the actual castle depicted in “Braveheart,” the interior of Mornay’s castle, filmed in Edinburgh Council Chamber, High Street, Edinburgh.
Relax and let yourself take in the experience
Even if you haven’t wrecked your brain trying to figure out where James Bond traveled through all of his twenty six movies or how to get to Monty Python’s Holy Grail, you shouldn’t have to wreck your brain trying to figure out how to get an all-inclusive experience. Take the guesswork out of it all and plan the best tour of England, Scotland and Ireland that you can. Customize it with a knowledgeable tour guide and it could make the difference between hearing the generic “Top of the Mornin to Ya!” or “Céad míle fáilte?” The latter is a traditional Irish welcome meaning “a hundred thousand welcomes.” While the first phrase is one that many are familiar with and has become synonymous with a pleasant Irish saying, it does nothing to represent the feeling associated with a warm personalized Irish hello. Leave it to the ones who have years of experience operating travel tours and you’ll feel right at home. The population of Ireland has grown from 4,588,252 in 2011 to almost 5 million in 2019, and after your tour, you may want to become a part of the population! Get ready to take it in, and book your vacation package now, before winter really does come.

Firefall's official launch on July 29th, Red 5 Studios has released a new video outlining the game's open-world PvP.
Formal PvP takes place in a separate zone called Broken Peninsula, where players are divided into corporate teams to beat the crap out of each other over resources, territorial bases, and a series of outposts and watchtowers that grant their holders special bonuses. NPCs called the Chosen do their best to interfere with players along the way.
How soon can a newcomer participate? "Firefall's open world PvP is primarily intended to be end-game content," says the studio, but skilled lowbies can "make an impact" at their own peril. Check out the video after the cut.

Totally agree with Gabe, that this weekend’s Anne Hathaway SNL was pretty solid. Not great, not exceptional, but pretty solid. Which is all you can really ask from SNL.
That Queen sketch is so weird and funny and intense. It almost feels like something they would put near the end of the show. The last sketch of the night, the “Writer’s Sketch,” or whatever, was that thing about a soundtrack to a movie about horses playing baseball, which I thought was kind of a weird and off and boring sketch, but I will say that Andy Samberg as Robert Smith from the Cure, singing “Horsey horsey show me how you do that trick, the one where you play baseball,” is probably my favorite joke from the whole night and still makes me laugh, even right now I am laughing.

However, the Spanish Supreme Court ruled that Spanish should be language of instruction in Catalan schools based on an appeal by 3 parents, who took the Catalan Government to court for denying to school their children in Spanish within the public education system of Catalonia. Many legal experts think that the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction to change the entire school model, already defined by several laws. Furthermore, the Spanish Constitutional Court has validated twice the Catalan school model, in 1994 and in 2010. In addition, teacher unions and parents associations back the current model.
This controversy has been used by some Spanish politicians throughout Spain, most of them from the People's Party (PP). According to most of the Catalan political parties, it is a false controversy only created for electoral reasons to feed Spanish nationalism.

PHOENIX, Ariz. — Muhammad Ali, the legendary boxer who proclaimed himself “The Greatest” and was among the most famous and beloved athletes on the planet, died Friday in Phoenix, Arizona, a family spokesman said.
Ali, 74, had been at a Phoenix hospital since Thursday with what spokesman Bob Gunnell had described as a respiratory issue.
“After a 32-year battle with Parkinson’s disease, Muhammad Ali has passed away at the age of 74. The three-time World Heavyweight Champion boxer died this evening,” Gunnell said in a statement. “The Ali family would like to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers, and support and asks for privacy at this time.”
Muhammad Ali: Boxing legend, activist and ‘The Greatest’ to a world of fans
A tweet on Ali’s official page posted a photo of the boxer and said simply, “Muhammad Ali. 1942-2016.”
Muhammad Ali also was hospitalized in January 2015 with a urinary tract infection. He was hospitalized in December 2014 with pneumonia.
Hours before her famed father passed away, Laila Ali posted a throwback photo of Muhammad Ali with her daughter, Sydney, who was born in 2011.
“I love this photo of my father and my daughter Sydney when she was a baby! Thanks for all the love and well wishes. I feel your love and appreciate it!!” Laila Ali, herself a former world champion boxer, wrote.
George Foreman, who Ali defeated in 1974 for the world heavyweight title, wrote on Twitter that “A part of me slipped away, “The greatest piece.”
Fame promoter Bob Arum wrote on Twitter: “A true great has left us. @MuhammadAli transformed this country and impacted the world with his spirit.”
In recent years, Ali had largely stayed out of the public spotlight. In his last known appearance, Ali appeared at Parkinson’s fundraiser April 9 in Phoenix, according to the Arizona Republic. A photo posted by the newspaper showed Ali wearing dark sunglasses.
He once was known not only for his athletic prowess as a three-time heavyweight champion but also for his social activism.
Ali was born in Louisville, Kentucky, as Cassius Clay in January 1942. He began boxing as an amateur when he was 12 years old and in 1964 became heavyweight champion with a knockout of Sonny Liston. That year he joined the Nation of Islam and changed his name.
Ali’s sparkling career was interrupted for 3½ years in the 1960s when he refused induction into the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War and was convicted of draft evasion. The Supreme Court overturned the conviction.
Ali also used his fame to speak out about racism and popularity in America.
He went on to win the heavyweight title twice more before retiring for good in 1981.
