Struggle icon Winnie Madikizela-Mandela will be buried at the same cemetery as her great-granddaughter, Zenani Zanethemba Nomasonto Mandela.
Close relatives have told News24 that her family’s wishes were that she be buried at the Fourways Memorial Park, north of Sandton. This is where Zenani was buried in 2010.
Zenani was 13 when she was killed in a car accident in the early hours of June 11, 2010, after attending the FIFA World Cup kick-off concert at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto.
She was the grandchild of Madikizela-Mandela’s oldest daughter, Zindzi.
At the time, the Nelson Mandela Foundation said Madikizela-Mandela was so devastated upon hearing the news that she was briefly taken to hospital and treated for shock.
Madikizela-Mandela was exceptionally close to Zenani’s mother Zoleka, who earlier shared photos of their last moments together, attending a Good Friday church service.
Qunu burial rumour
Madikizela-Mandela died on Monday afternoon at the age of 81 after a prolonged illness.
A government official told News24 that there were concerns that her wish was to be buried at Avalon Cemetery in Soweto. The liberation stalwart has lived in the world-famous township for most of her adult life, except when she was banished to rural Brandfort in the Free State by the apartheid regime. She always proclaimed that she wanted to be among “her people”.
On Tuesday, Themba Matanzima, speaking on behalf of the family, confirmed that the funeral would be held in Johannesburg to quell reports that the abaThembu clan wanted Madikizela-Mandela buried in Qunu, the birthplace of her former husband, former president Nelson Mandela.
Madikizela-Mandela was married to Mandela for 38 years.
The SABC reported that the abaThembu clan had said it was ready to bury Madikizela-Mandela in Qunu. The public broadcaster quoted Prince Sganeko Dalindyebo as saying: “We feel that, as the kingdom, Mama Winnie Madikizela-Mandela should be brought back home to Qunu, where she can rest in peace.
“This home is supposed to play a leading role in the preparations and in the mourning of one of our own, particularly of the stature of Mama Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.”
Category 1 special official funeral
The final decision on her burial site had been left to her daughters, the government official said.
On Tuesday, the family and government officials led by Communications Minister Nomvula Mokonyane were locked in meetings at her home in Soweto to arrange the official funeral, planned for April 14.
President Cyril Ramaphosa announced on Tuesday that the woman affectionately known as the Mother of the Nation would be given a category 1 special official funeral. It entails elements of military ceremonial honours and is declared for persons of extraordinary credentials specifically designated by the president in line with the Presidency’s state, official and provincial official funeral policy.
The Presidency announced that an official memorial service for Madikizela-Mandela would take place at the Regina Mundi Catholic Church in Soweto on April 11, and the special official funeral proceedings would be held at Orlando Stadium, Soweto, on April 14.
ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe announced that the ANC would observe a day of mourning on April 9. — News24

My husband and I spent 3 nights, Thursday-Saturday at the Bullock Hotel. We've been
to Deadwood before. Last year we stayed at the Franklin, which is about a 2 on scale
of 1-10. Bullock is at least an 8. Beautiful historic furnishings in room. We upgraded to
the Bullock Suite ,our original room, 201, was roomy and lovely but with a window looking into the hallway was a bit claustrophobic for me, we still got the AAA discount which helped with the price or the suite.. Great decision to upgrade. This room was gorgeous, included a jacuzzi tub...lovely view of Mainstreet.
Even though is was a smoking room(we don't smoke), never smelled any smoke, it
didn't bother us in the room and I am allergice to smoke.
Perfect location if you want to stay a few days, gamble, dine out,run gifts up to the room between shops, listen to blues (right across the street) or listen to Yancy at the Buffalo Stockade (1 block down,outside bar).
The lobby has slots but isn't a busy feel like the others in town. Nice, relaxing,
calm place to gamble. The ghost tour was fun. Didn't see old Seth Bullock but did
get some pictures with orbs and other mysterious things in the room mirror.
The parking, included is right across the street to the back, can't be more convenient
We had a great time, would absolutely come back again and try to get in one of the
suites again. Staff was friendly, ghosts were friendly...perfect time was had by all.

Care homes could reopen to visitors ‘in next few days’ as Matt Hancock hints at payrise for workforce
Care homes have been particularly hard-hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. (PA)
The Government wants to let people visit their loved ones in care homes again in the “next few days”, the Health Secretary has announced.
Matt Hancock said there would be “more details soon” on plans to let people make “Covid Secure” care home visits, which have been banned for months under the country’s coronavirus lockdown.
And the Cabinet minister dropped a clear hint that he wants to see a payrise for the the UK’s care workers, amid a row between the sector and Boris Johnson.
Care homes have been particularly hard-hit by the Covid-19 pandemic, with the almost 30,000 more residents in England and Wales dying between March and June this year than in the same period in 2019.
Speaking to ITV News on Thursday, Mr Hancock said: “We’ve been very very careful to ensure that visitors don’t bring coronavirus back into a care home.
"But in the next few days we will be setting out how covid secure visiting can happen in care homes, how we can have more visits of loved ones in a way that is very careful and in a way that keeps care homes safe.”
He added: “There’ll be more details soon but I think that people are yearning to see their loved ones and the residents of care homes get so much from visitors.
“It’s been a very, very long period and that period where there hasn’t been any visiting to care homes, that’s coming to an end very soon.”
Asked whether people would be able to see their relatives next week, Mr Hancock said: “I very much hope that in the next few days we’ll be able to make this change.
“I hope you understand we’ve been very careful about it and we’ve got to get it right.
“We’ve got to make sure it works for each local area but I hope we can make that change very soon.”
Welcoming the move, Labour’s shadow care minister Liz Kendall said: “It is good to hear families will soon be able to visit care homes again. This is something Labour has been calling for weeks.
“It has been a very worrying time for people with loved ones in care homes and so it is vital that care homes get clear guidance, PPE and access to regular testing to ensure visits are safe.”
But, pointing to the continued lockdown in the city of Leicester following a spike in coronavirus cases there, Ms Kendall said: “Families in Leicester will be upset and disappointed that this doesn’t apply to them, which is why we must ensure Leicester gets resources, data and other support needed to bring infection rates down.”
'WE VALUE THEIR WORK'
Elsewhere in his ITV news interview, Mr Hancock sought to dampen down a row between care providers and Number 10 after the Prime Minister claimed that “too many care homes didn’t really follow the procedures in the way that they could have“.
Charity Community Integrated Care branded the PM’s comments “clumsy and cowardly”, the National Care Association asked Mr Johnson to retract the statement, while the Independent Care Group called the comments a “slap in the face for those workers after they have given and sacrificed so much”.
Labour has meanwhile demanded an apology from the PM, who has said he was referring to a lack of knowledge about asymptomatic transmission of the virus in care settings.
But, confronted by ITV News with criticism from carer Debbie Adams, Mr Hancock said: “What I can do is I can tell Debbie and all those who work in care homes that the point that we were trying to make and I can also say how much we value their work and everything they’ve done to keep people safe.
“People in social care have gone to extraordinary lengths to keep people safe and to do that infection control, which is at the root of protecting people, which is why care homes in this country have done better than anywhere else in Europe.”
'INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT JOB'
The Health Secretary also hinted that he would push for a payrise for workers in the social care sector, many of whom are employed on the minimum wage in a sector which makes extensive use of zero-hour contracts.
“I think that social care in an incredibly important job …I can’t make a financial announcement now but I think you can see where my heart lies,” he said.
Asked whether care workers deserve a pay rise, the Health Secretary said: “It’s a very important and valued job and I’m really proud of the increase in the living wage that we’ve introduced. That has had more of an impact on the care sector than any other sector and I want to see that go further.”

Dr. Ferdinand Porsche (1875-1951) developed this inexpensive rear-engine small car called the Type 32, or Kleinauto, for the NSU Company in Germany in 1932. It was based on an original small car prototype Porsche had developed, but never produced in 1931 for the Zündapp Works, a motorcycle firm. Porsche had just in 1931 opened his own automotive design firm with his son, Ferdinand "Ferry" Porsche II (b. 1909) , but already had a long and distinguished career of innovative design. Born in Austria, he was hired in 1898 as a designer by Ludwig Lohner, owner of a carriage factory in Vienna, who wanted to produce an electric car and was interested in Porsche's idea of placing the electric motors directly inside the wheel hub, thus eliminating chain and belt drives. The resulting car was the Porsche-Lohner Chaise, which won a grand prize at the Universal Exposition in Paris in 1900, and made Porsche famous. In 1903, Porsche combined a gasoline engine with an electric motor in what he called a "Mixt" car for Lohner. The engine powered a generator which fed electricity to the motors in the wheels. Nicknamed "Aunt Eulalia", the car was a hit with celebrities like Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand. In 1906, Porsche became an engineer for Austro-Daimler as a technical director and board member, and joined Daimler in Germany in 1923 where he remained until he was dismissed, when Daimler merged with Benz Cie in 1926. In 1929 he took a key position with Steyr Works in Vienna, but the company soon collapsed financially. Three of his NSU small car prototypes were built in 1933, and they were refined, through a commission by Adolph Hitler, into three VW 3 prototypes in 1936, which were successfully tested by the Nazi SS. Hitler's specifications included a cost of DM990 (US $396), a speed of 100 kph (60 mph), and 40 mpg fuel consumption.
The Crown Rider Reach Series Trucks were designed by David Tompkins, IDSA, Frank Wilgus, Nilo-Rodis and David B. Smith, of Richardson/Smith, Inc and Harold Stammen and Jerry Pulskamp of Crown Controls Corporation. The design embodied the pioneering concept of the rider standing sideways for enhanced visibility; the one-hand joystick control of lift, direction, and speed; and the corporate “look” of Crown products that continues today. The design won one of the first IDEA awards in 1980, and was named by IDSA as a “Design of the Decade” in 1990. Since retiring from Fitch PLC—with which Richardson/Smith merged in 1989—David Smith has continued to work with Crown Equipment, extending a long-time relationship dating back to 1960. In 1995, IDSA honored Tom Bidwell, executive vice-president of Crown Equipment Company, with a Special Award for “notable results; creative and innovative concepts; and long-term benefits to the profession, its educational functions and society at large.”
In 1924 Chrysler became the last successful new car company start-up in the US for over 70 years. The company was founded by Walter P. Chrysler, who had left General Motors in 1920, and was designed by engineer Carl Breer (1883-1970). Denied space in the 1924 auto show by the leading manufacturers, Chrysler introduced his new car in a nearby hotel lobby. The model featured improved 4-wheel hydraulic brakes, which first appeared on the 1921 Duesenberg, but were plagued with leakage problems. The new car was an instant success. Within a year, Chrysler was considered one of the "big three," along with Ford and GM, together building 80 per cent of all US cars. In 1928, Chrysler Motors introduced the Plymouth, and established an Art and Color Department headed by industrial designer Herbert V. Henderson, following the lead of General Motors, who had established a similar department headed by Harley Earl the year before. But Henderson's group had little to do with body design. In 1931, The Chrysler Building was built in New York, becoming the tallest building in the world for a few months before the completion of the Empire State Building. Well-known body designer Raymond Dietrich (1894-1980) joined Chrysler as a consultant in 1932, becoming unofficial head of the Art and Color Department, then the official head from 1934 until 1940. In 1934, the Chrysler Airflow, designed by chief engineer Carl Breer and his staff engineers Fred Zeder and Owen Skelton, introduced leading-edge aerodynamic styling, innovative weight distribution and unitized body construction. While the too-advanced design was a failure in the market, it had significant future influence in automotive design.

The Biggest Unforeseen Event
Sensing the killing intent from Jiang Chen, Yuan Chengjun’s face turned uglier. Despite his arrogance, he knew that he was definitely no match for Jiang Chen. He had seen how the Huang brothers died under Jiang Chen’s hands, which made him s.h.i.+ver uncontrollably.
“Jiang Chen, you can’t kill me. As long as I make a shout, my dad will hear me and you will be finished.”
Yuan Chengjun feigned, sounding brave. He was pretty confident in his dad. He believed that Jiang Chen would face the same outcome as long his dad was here, however, he had overlooked one point – how the h.e.l.l did Jiang Chen slipped through the three Heaven Immortal experts and got into the ore mine without arousing their notice?
“Very well. Go ahead and shout. Don’t say that I didn’t give you a chance.”
Jiang Chen shrugged and said indifferently.
His confidence made Yuan Chengjun’s heart pound faster. The confident Jiang Chen got, the terrified he felt, Jiang Chen had already become a demonic being in his eyes.
Yuan Chengjun used all of his might to shout. Although he didn’t know whether Yuan Hong would be able to hear him, there was nothing else he could do besides shouting. He couldn’t fight Jiang Chen because he had already lost all of his courage.
A shout from a late Earth Immortal expert was supposed to be an ear-splitting sound that even people from a hundred miles away could hear it. However, no movement was detected outside even when Yuan Chengjun started to lose his voice.
This ore mine had already been fully sealed by Jiang Chen. Yuan Chengjun had already fallen into Jiang Chen’s Five Elemental Power Spheres, preventing his voices from getting out regardless of how hard he shouted.
“Don’t-don’t kill me Jiang Chen.”
Yuan Chengjun started to plead for mercy. He finally understood that Jiang Chen’s ability was more than he could handle. He was like an ant that could be crushed any time.
Looking at Yuan Chengjun’s timid and shaky appearance, Yan Qingcheng’s disgust for him intensified. A man like him possessed no spirit and dignity at all. Comparing him to Jiang Chen was like day and night.
“You can’t live. Your dad as well. I will kill you in front of your dad, then kill your dad. So that you two will know that there’s no good end for traitors.”
Said Jiang Chen as he strode towards Yuan Chengjuan. Every step he made trembled Yuan Chenjun’s heart, like a heavy hammer pounding on his chest.
“I’ll go all out with you, Jiang Chen!”
Watching Jiang Chen getting closer to him, despair was plastered all over his face. Then all of a sudden, he turned frenzied, drew his sword and slashed at Jiang Chen’s direction.
Jiang Chen sent a casual slap to meet the sword, hurling the sword away from Yuan Chengjun’s hand. Then, he strode forward and grabbed Yuan Chengjun in the neck and lifted him up. Yuan Chengjun struggled uncontrollably in the air, like a small chick that was totally powerless and defenseless.
“Big Brother Jiang, you are amazing!”
Yan Qingcheng showed a smile at last, her gaze was full of admiration.
“Don’t worry. The Prefecture will be fine. After tonight, the Prefecture will dominate the whole Yan City.”
Jiang Chen smiled at Yan Qingcheng. After that, he walked out of the ore mine with Yuan Chengjun on his hand. Yan Qingcheng was a smart person. She dragged the corpses of the Huang brothers with her hands and followed Jiang Chen. Today was supposed to be the last night of the Prefecture, and she had been in the state of despair, however, by following behind Jiang Chen, hope started to glow in her mind. Although she was still clueless how Jiang Chen would deal with the three Heaven Immortal experts, Jiang Chen’s presence made her feel that Heaven Immortal experts weren’t as scary anymore.
Outside, it was still a desperate scene. All the experts of the Prefecture had virtually lost their hopes. Yan Dongliu was overwhelmed with anger, causing his combat power to drop significantly. Huang Ying wouldn’t delay any longer. He was about to launch an attack on them at any second.
“Everyone in the Prefecture, listen closely. I will give you all one last chance. Anyone who wants to live should come and join us now. Otherwise, all of you will have to die.”
Huang Ying’s body was enshrouded with killing intent. He was giving his enemy one last chance. If they didn’t cherish this opportunity, he would launch an all-out attack on them, eradicating them once and for all.
“Beast with the surname Huang and surname Yuan, do whatever you want! It’s going to be death anyway.”
Someone in the Prefecture bellowed. Their faces were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with anger and resoluteness. It seemed like none of them wanted to leave here alive.
“Alright. Since you all are being so stubborn, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Listen up, people, kill them all.” Huang Ying gave the decisive order.
“I don’t think any one of them will die today.”
Just after Huang Ying’s voice faded, another voice sounded from the ore mine. All of them turned and saw Jiang Chen walking out of the ore mine, carrying Yuan Chengjun on his hand, followed by Yan Qingcheng who was hauling two bodies.
Yan Qingcheng hurled the bodies to Huang Ying’s direction.
Yan Dongliu couldn’t help but feel excited upon seeing his daughter still in one piece.
An incident like this was totally unexpected, particularly the death of the Huang brothers.
“Fei Er, Ming Er.”
The higher ups of the Huang Family exclaimed. Looking at the two great geniuses of their family lying on the ground unmoving, it gave them the urge to spurt out blood. Then, they s.h.i.+fted their gaze to Jiang Chen. It went without saying that the two brother’s death was caused by Jiang Chen, but what shocked them more was how did Jiang Chen slip through their line of sight and got into the ore mine. This ought to be an impossible task.
“It’s Alchemist Jiang, this is great.”
“Master Jiang surely is powerful. He was able to sneak into the mine unnoticeably and killed the two great geniuses of Huang Family. Haha! This is exhilarating, truly exhilarating!”
“Amazing! It seems like Master Jiang’s means are way beyond our imaginations.”
Everyone in the Prefecture’s camp was utterly impressed by Jiang Chen. Moments ago, they were too tense. They didn’t even notice that Jiang Chen had left their sight.
“Jiang Chen, were you the one who killed them?”
Huang Ying gritted his teeth and said. His body seemed to be trembling due to his surging anger.
“Of course, killing them was like slaughtering chickens.”
Answered Jiang Chen flatly.
“Save me, dad.”
The way Yuan Chengjun looked at his own dad was like looking at a life-saving straw, his life had already fallen completely under Jiang Chen’s control. The only person who could save him now was Yuan Hong. If his own dad couldn’t even do that, he would no doubt end up just like the Huang brothers. He would never believe that Jiang Chen would be so kind to spare his life.
d.a.m.n! How did this b.a.s.t.a.r.d got into the the ore mine?
Yuan Hong’s expression turned incomparably unpleasant all of a sudden. Yuan Chengjun was his own son. If Yuan Chengjun died, anyone could imagine how his father would feel. Everyone in the scene had totally overlooked Jiang Chen’s existence, thinking that this young man wasn’t worth paying attention to, however, none of them thought that this young man would bring the greatest change to this incident.

Browns Preseason Opener
The Cleveland Browns had their preseason opener last night, at FirstEnergy Stadium. They played the New Orleans Saints and even though it was only a preseason game, it was still exciting to watch.
The Browns defense played pretty well and at one point late in the game, the Saints were at the 3-yard line with a first down, but the Browns put up a stand and in the ensuing plays, the Saints only went backward. On fourth-and-goal from the 2, Browns defensive back Briean Boddy-Calhoun, hit the Saints wide receiver TommyLee Lewis for a 7-yard loss, stopping the drive and the score.
Rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer, led the Browns on two touchdown drives, in the fourth quarter, one of which was a 45-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Payton, with 1:52 left in the game. The final score was the Browns beating the Saints, 20-14.

Kuih Dadar or Ketayap, is a pandan flavoured rolled crepe filled with grated coconut and palm sugar. Kuih is a term used for both sweet or savoury snacks in South East Asia. The thin pancakes are also called Dadar Gulung. Dadar, in Indonesian means pancakes, while Gulung means ‘to roll’.
It is a popular tea time snack in Nyonya culture or Peranakan cuisine. The cuisine comes from descendants of early Chinese migrants who settled in Penang, Malacca, Singapore, and Indonesia, inter-marrying with local Malays.
You can often find street vendors selling a variety of Nyonya snacks at night markets or on busy roads. For us, this pandan rolled crepe is our favourite. Learn how to make the sweet treat with this simple Nyonya kuih recipe below.
How to Make Dadar Gulung
For the pandan juice (this can be made a few hours in advance)
- 8 fresh pandan leaves, cut into small chunks
- 200ml water
For the coconut filling
- 240g palm sugar
- 400ml water
- 200g desiccated coconut
For the pancakes
- 150g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 150 – 170ml pandan juice (from the first step)
- 300ml coconut milk
- 1 tbsp veg oil
Time Needed : 1 hours
To break it down, it's a crepe rolled up with a filling of palm sugar and grated coconut. The thin crepe is made by stirring flour together with egg, coconut milk, and pandan juice – whilst adding a pinch of salt will give it that desirable salty contrast with the sweet filling. A suggested serving of 2 coconut pancakes has 300 calories. The following Kuih Dadar recipe serves 4-6 people.
- Make the pandan juice
Blend the pandan leaves and water in a small food processor until smooth.
Strain the liquid through a fine sieve, or muslin to extract the juice.
- Make the coconut filling
Dissolve the sugar with the water in a saucepan over medium heat.
Once the sugar is dissolved, add the desiccated coconut and simmer on low heat covered for 12 minutes until almost all water has evaporated, and the mixture has the consistency of wet sand.
Remove mixture from the pan and set aside to cool.
- Make the pancake batter
Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Add the large egg to the measuring jug containing the pandan juice, and beat.
Then add the coconut milk, oil, and stir.
Whisk the wet ingredients gradually into the dry to make a smooth batter.
Let this rest for 20 minutes.See Also
- Fry the pancakes
Heat up a small shallow non-stick pancake pan over a low flame and grease with oil for the first pancake.
Using a small ladle, ladle the batter just off centre in the pan, swirl to coat base to form a thin, even pancake. When the batter sets and or the edges are turning golden brown, flip and cook for a further 10 seconds.
You should end up with around 15 pancakes of 20cm diameter.
Move the pancake to a plate and place a piece of greaseproof paper on top to avoid sticking. Repeat making more until batter is all used.
- Roll the pancakes
Put 1.5 tablespoons of the coconut mixture just above the bottom edge of a pancake, fold the pancake over the filling, fold in the sides to enclose the filling and roll it up.
Finally, serve the pancakes with desiccated coconut and milk tea. Infused with natural pandan juice, the thin pancakes will present a bright green exterior. Using freshly made pandan juice will give the pancakes a sweeter and stronger aromatic scent from the pandan leaves. For those living in London, pandan leaves can be bought from Chinese supermarkets in Chinatown or any Wing Yip branch.
If you’re feeling lazy, some vendors in London also sell freshly made kuih dadar such as Sambal Shiok.

Traffic wardens will also be deployed at the diverted route to ensure smooth traffic flow. Initially the bridge will be closed for till today. If the traffic situation is under control, it will remain closed till April 30 next year.”
Presently, Mahadev Palav Marg connects Lalbaug and Parel areas with NM Joshi Marg. With its closure, the existing traffic scenario is likely to worsen, as motorists will have to take diversionary routes via Chinchpokli Bridge and Elphinstone ROB, which will add around 45 minutes of extra travel.
Rail commuters will have to walk from Bharatmata Junction to Currey Road station, as buses and taxis will also have to take the alternate route. Ambulances going towards KEM and TATA hospital will also have to use the alternate routes. The MMRDA had already constructed pillars along most of the monorail stretch, but it is yet to start erecting pillars on the Mahadev Palav Marg as construction cannot be started until the entire road is closed.
Did you know?
During peak hours, it takes more than 20 minutes to cover a distance of 300 metres between Bhartmata Junction and NM junction Marg via Mahadev Palav Marg.

text: New technological advancements have made it possible to restore the sense of touch in those who have lost their limbs. Something straight out of sci-fy movies, scientists have given a man from denmark who lost his hand the sense of touch thanks to a new bionic hand. This was possible thanks to implanting electrodes into the nerves in his lower and upper arms, and then it took him months of training with the device. They also had to implant sensors into the bionic hand that detects an objects shape and turns that into an electrical signal that then is sent up his arm to the electrodes they implanted. Bionic technology has been making rapid advancements and it'll be incredible to see what kind of body modifications and enhancements there will be in the next 50 years.

Market Cap Fundamentals
How to identify trends among coveted Series 1 moments.
Market capitalization (market cap) isn’t a new concept, but rather a term borrowed from the finance world. In NBA Top Shot, a moment’s market cap can be calculated by multiplying the current lowest asking price by the moment’s circulation count. For example, if a moment has a lowest asking price of $100, and a circulation count of 1,000, the market cap is $100k ($100 x 1,000). Calculating a single moment’s market cap leaves you with nothing more than a fun fact, but things become far more interesting when you start comparing market caps - let’s dive in.
Series 1: Base Set vs MGLE
On paper we might expect a player’s market cap to be roughly equal across their moments (particularly in the same Series) but let’s take a closer look. Consider Dejounte Murray’s Series 1 Base Set and MGLE moments below:
Doing the math, we see that the Base moment has a market cap of $1.02M and the MGLE moment has a market cap of $630k - noticeable less. To visualize this relationship we can create a chart with Base moment market cap on one axis, and MGLE moment market cap on the other.
Before we jump to any conclusions, let’s gather some more data. Specifically, we can calculate the market cap values for each of the 181 moments Series 1 moments that have both a Base and MGLE version. For a bit of data cleanliness, we’ll also filter out moments that fewer than 10 active listing, bringing our full dataset down to 169 moments.
Looking at the full picture, there definitely appears to be a linear relationship between the market cap of a player’s Series 1 Base and MGLE moments. Doing the math, this relationship works out to be:
MGLE = (0.58 * Base) + 32,500
In other words, a moment’s MGLE market cap is equal to 58% of its Base market cap, plus $32,500. Let’s go ahead and add this line to our chart, as well as highlight some players that stand out.
Not surprisingly, our usual suspects are at the top of the class: Luka, Zion, Curry, and Ja. Despite their large market cap values, the relationship between their Base and MGLE moments is in line with the rest of the pack. Two other players that catch my eye are Larry Nance Jr. and Maxi Kleber. both of these players sit noticeably far away from the general trend, and in Nance Jr.’s case, his Series 1 MGLE moment actually has a greater market cap than his Base moment. Let’s dive into these two players to try and understand what’s going on.
Larry Nance Jr.
Focusing in on Nance Jr., we can see just how far away his moments are from the general trend of other Series 1 moments. The market cap values for his Base and MGLE moments are $374k and $504k, respectively. The open marketplace has placed Nance Jr. out on this island, and let’s assume that as the market matures, he will shift closer and closer to our trend line. Applying Occam’s razor (“the simplest explanation is usually the right one”), there are two simple scenarios in which Nance Jr. falls back in line with the rest of the players:
Scenario A: Nance’s MGLE market cap is correct, and his Base moment is undervalued
Scenario B: Nance’s Base market cap is correct, and his MGLE moment is overvalued.
Exploring Scenario A, and assuming his MGLE market cap is correct, we find these players with similar MGLE market caps:
Jerami Grant ($484k)
Jusuf Nurkic ($502k)
Mike Conley ($521k)
Malcom Brogdon ($538k)
That’s five borderline All Stars with an average PER (Player Efficiency Rating) of 17.9. While we can’t directly correlate PER to Top Shot value, it seems safe to say that Nance Jr. and his PER of 13.2 don’t qualitatively or quantitively belong with this group.
Exploring Scenario B, and assuming his Base market cap is correct, we find these players with similar Base market caps:
Gary Harris ($368k)
DeAndre Jordan ($372k)
JaMychal Green ($382k)
Daniel Theis ($385k)
Qualitatively, Nance Jr. definitely fits in better with this crowd, and with an average PER of 13.9, they have the quantitative characteristics to match.
The Verdict: Scenario B seems to be far more likely than Scenario A, and Nance Jr.’s MGLE market cap appears to be overvalued. Assuming his Base market cap is correct, and plugging it into the function we defined earlier, we’d expect Nance Jr.’s MGLE moment to have a market cap of roughly $249k. With a circulation count of 179, that would bring the lowest asking price to $1,391 — more than half of the current lowest ask of $2,815.
On the other end of the spectrum we have Mavericks power forward Maxi Kleber, the 29 year old German who rose to Top Shot notoriety after Mark Cuban incidentally pumped his bags a few weeks back.
“I get to enjoy knowing I own my Maxi Kleber dunk Moment, along with knowing the serial number and much more…I don’t know why anyone would sell a Maxi Moment. Maxi is a top 10 defender in the NBA, just saying!” - Mark Cuban
Kleber’s Series 1 Base and MGLE moments show market cap values of $1.25M and $370k, respectively. Taking a similar approach as before, there are two simple scenarios for explaining how Kleber moves back in line with the rest of the crowd:
Scenario A: Kleber’s Base market cap is correct, and his MGLE moment is undervalued
Scenario B: Kleber’s MGLE market cap is correct, and his Base moment is overvalued
Exploring Scenario A, and assuming his Base market cap is correct, we find these players with similar Base market caps:
Bam Adebayo ($1.1M)
De’Aaron Fox ($1.2M)
Jimmy Butler ($1.2M)
Christian Wood ($1.3M)
We don’t need much in-depth analysis to see that Kleber doesn’t belong alongside these players. This group brings home a whopping average PER of 22.6, markedly higher than Kleber’s 11.3.
Exploring Scenario B, and assuming Kleber’s MGLE market cap is correct, we find these players with similar MGLE market caps:
Markieff Morris ($348k)
Jarret Culver ($359k)
Josh Okogie ($373k)
OG Anunoby ($379)
This certainly passes the eye test, as Kleber fits in better with this group, and with an average PER of 10.0, this seems to be the most likely scenario.
The Verdict: Scenario B seems to be far more likely than Scenario A, and Kleber’s Base market cap appears to be overvalued. Assuming his MGLE market cap is correct, and plugging it into the function we defined earlier, we’d expect Kleber’s Base moment to have a market cap of roughly $583k. With a circulation count of 3,999, that would bring the lowest asking price to $146 — more than half of the current lowest ask of $315.
Why the MGLE Discount?
So what might explain the trend that Series 1 MGLE moments have a discounted market cap compared to their Base Set counterparts? It’s difficult to pinpoint what’s driving this market behavior, but I believe it’s due to the barrier to entry created by the price points. Here’s a chart that shows the percentage of purchasing Top Shot users by their largest single purchase:
As we can see, Top Shot users don’t have a bottomless bankroll to spend on bigger purchases. Regarding Series 1 moments, the median lowest asking price across Base moments (with an MGLE counterpart) is $244 - an amount that 39% of Top Shot users have previously spent on a single moment. Conversely, the median lowest asking price across MGLE moments is $1,477 - an amount that only 9% of Top Shot users are willing to invest in a single moment. It’s not rocket science, but it seems as though there is far more “equipped” demand for Base moments when you factor in the capital that Top Shot users have to invest.

“I was worked to the bone, drained of my love for restaurants, convinced that I was bad at my job, that I wasn’t cool, that I didn’t belong, that I wasn’t a hard worker, that I wasn’t worthy,” she writes.
Until recently, when we heard stories like this, they were told by chefs. Screaming and pot-throwing were things they endured in their younger days, part of the dues they paid. Some of them also copped to having bullied their line cooks and dishwashers early on, when they first got their own kitchens and followed the bad examples of their own abusive mentors. Breaking the chain is both a personal achievement and a step toward more modern and humane management practices.
Such stories rarely linger on the victims the chef has left on the floor in a finely shredded chiffonade. In their lives, abuse may not be a station on the path to fame. It may not be redeemed by later success. It may not give them the opportunity to do better when their turn comes. It is just abuse.
We are hearing these stories now, though. At first they came from female restaurant workers who spoke out about sexual harassment. People listened. They were outraged, rightly. Things changed. This encouraged restaurant workers to talk about other kinds of mistreatment. Many of these accusations, sometimes divulged to reporters but more and more often spilled on Instagram posts and comments, fall on a spectrum from scalding tirades like those Ms. Selinger describes to less nightmarish bad-boss behavior, like playing favorites and taking credit for an employee’s work.
Some allegations seem intended to force bad actors to self-defenestrate, but others have a much more basic message: Hello. I’m here. And I’m sick of this.
If you’ve ever been treated poorly by a boss or other authority figure, you can’t help identifying with some of these voices. Restaurant workers have traditionally labored in silence — the chef or the owner was the only one who got to talk. Now the microphone can be commandeered by almost anybody, for a few minutes at least, and it’s changing the way we look at restaurants.
We always knew they were group efforts. Now we can see the individuals in the group. And if they’re suffering, we can feel their pain.

Tara Lapinski’s Path To Parenthood
Olympic Gold Medalist Welcomes a Daughter!
The Olympic gold medal figure skater welcomed a daughter with her husband Todd Kapostasy. Lapinsky is filled with joy. “Todd and I have a baby girl, Georgie Winter, that arrived into our arms by the most beautiful surrogate.” Lipinski faced infertility for years and was in the delivery room when her daughter was born.
“My doctor had me playing my favorite song and I’m bawling because I think there was just so much relief of, ‘Is this five-year journey over?'” said Lipinski. “And then immediately, the baby is out, screaming, and on my chest and we’re doing skin to skin and it was one of those moments like, ‘How did my life just change so quickly and is this a dream?'”
History of Fertility Challenges
Their pregnancy history includes repeated rounds of IVF, four miscarriages and a diagnosis of endometriosis when cells in the uterus grow elsewhere in the body, which can make getting pregnant hard.
“The five years were just so grueling and to be quite honest, in the beginning, surrogacy wasn’t something that I wanted,” Lipinski told TODAY, adding that she wanted to experience pregnancy. “We hit obstacle after obstacle. At a certain point, the fourth miscarriage was really traumatizing. And I think I finally gave in to the idea of surrogacy.”
It was all worth it — Lipinski describes her surrogate as “family” and the ability to hold her baby girl, as surreal.

Supermarket milk contracts to be scrutinised
The Senate Economics Committee is set to investigate contracts between the major supermarkets and dairy group National Foods as part of their analysis of pricing in the dairy industry.
Earlier this month the Committee was asked to determine whether farmers were being hard done by in response to uproar following price cuts – largely focusing on price reductions by National Foods in Tasmania.
Committee member, Tasmanian Senator Richard Colbeck, has told the ABC that the investigation will now look into contracts reportedly signed three years ago making National Foods the major supplier to supermarket chains Coles and Woolworths.
“We think it may be part of the reason that current circumstances are occurring with the relationship between dairy companies and farmers,” he said. “We really need to find out from those particular players what the basis of that decision was, and we’re also very interested in looking at the consolidation of the market that that decision may have brought about.”
National Foods spokesman Geoff Lynch maintained that the firm saw the inquiry as an opportunity to highlight the facts, which they believe are being distorted.
“The important thing for us is that misinformation is taken out of the equation,” he said.
Meanwhile, David Llewellyn, Minister for Primary Industries and Water in Tasmania, yesterday met with the Managing Director of National Foods regarding milk prices and other issues confronting Tasmanian dairy farmers.
The discussions were “robust” in relation to milk pricing, he reported.
“The Government agreed to provide National Foods with additional data regarding production costs in Tasmania,” Mr Llewellyn added. “National Foods agreed to assess the data along with the recent increase in milk price by Fonterra over the next week.”
“National Foods will respond to Government following their assessments.”

In an Aug. 18 email to the community, Vice President for Student Success and Enrollment Joe DiChristina and Chief Financial Officer Dan Hitchell announced Trinity’s COVID-19 policies for the fall semester. The College has rollbacked masking and testing requirements and discontinued the COVID-19 dashboard.
Faculty can now choose to make masks optional in the classroom for “pedagogical reasons.” Otherwise, masking will continue to be required in instructional spaces during scheduled times; health care facilities; any campus space where signage indicates masking is required; and any campus gatherings, offices, or meetings that are designated “mask required.”
“Our most important priority is to protect the academic mission and learning spaces where faculty and students interact the most,” wrote DiChristina and Hitchell in an email to the Tripod when explaining the masking protocols. “We spoke with HHC [Hartford HealthCare] about masking. After inquiring with the academic dean’s office, it was determined best to require masking in academic spaces and to provide faculty the flexibility to make a class mask optional should masking interfere with the teaching.” DiChristina and Hitchell told the Tripod that the College asks unvaccinated students to continue to wear masks in all spaces.
Members of the community are no longer required to complete weekly testing. The College does not have a testing program for asymptomatic individuals, and Trinity’s COVID-19 dashboard will not be resumed. Students who experience symptoms or believe they have been exposed to the virus can get tested at the health center. Students who test positive must follow the isolation protocols that were implemented in the spring.
When asked how the College will monitor the spread of the virus without the dashboard, DiChristina and Hitchell told the Tripod that the College will message the community if there is a sudden rise in cases. “Our main concern moving forward is whether a new variant might cause severe illness in our community. If we were to see the virus causing severe illness, we will consult with HHC and make decisions based on what we see happening in the community,” said DiChristina and Hitchell.”
In May, the College announced that it would discontinue the dashboard. DiChristina and Hitchell told the Tripod at the time that the dashboard had become a “less effective communication tool for the presence of covid on campus.” They cited the fewer number of students and employees on campus at any given time during the summer. DiChristina and Hitchell confirmed that the College discontinued the dashboard without consulting members of the community.
All community members are still required to have received their initial vaccination and a booster of the COVID-19 vaccine unless they have a medical or religious exemption. DiChristina and Hitchell told the Tripod that the College is waiting on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Hartford Healthcare before making a decision on a second booster shot requirement.

Cyber not Space Force
The president’s latest brainchild is the development of a Space Force to police and protect outer space from bad actors that wish to use outer space as a platform to do us harm.
But what we have not heard from him is how we can defend ourselves from the current and most obvious threat to the United States.
There is ample evidence that Russia has interfered in our elections through manipulations of social media and possibly even hacking voting machines in several counties. In addition we know that there have been attempted hacks into our power infrastructure. Our financial institutions have been compromised on many occasions and hospitals and municipalities have been held hostage by cyber criminals. Most of these attacks have originated from Eastern Europe and Russia.
We have heard little or nothing from the White House concerning our vulnerability to cyber warfare and a plan to combat it. It would seem that a Cyber Force would be a far more immediate priority than a Space Force.
Richard Hunt, Payson

In this column we deliver you the latest and most interesting online poker industry news from across the world and all platforms.
Improved PokerStars Chests in US Markets
PokerStars has announced that they are improving the probabilities of better payouts in their rewards program in the US markets Michigan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. To be more precise, the odds of getting the average value of a particular chest have now been increased to more than half the time (odds have been bumped from 20% to 58%).
Most of these changes affect low-level tiers which makes sense to improve the overall experience of the majority of the players that are recreational. Professional and high volume players will still very likely complain about this reward system. However, it’s good to see PokerStars experimenting with different set-ups in smaller markets as this means they are likely to roll out some of the changes in the bigger markets should they be successful.
Spin & Gos now available in Pennsylvania
And while we are at PokerStars in the US, there is another update for players in Pennsylvania. PokerStars now also offers Spin & Gos in the state, which they hadn’t since their launch for some unknown reason.
Now that the two partypoker-based clients of BetMGM PA and Borgata Poker PA launched with SPINS, the partypoker version of jackpot sit & gos, PokerStars also announced the launch of their Spin & Go product. Players now have the availability of $1 to $25 spins with a top prize of $25k in the highest buy-in tier.
No more cash games for Germans on Unibet
The new proposed tax on online gambling is being seen as the killing blow for online poker in Germany. The addition of a 5.3% tax on cash games will mean that these games are simply not beatable anymore. Many German poker players and poker operators fear the death of online poker traffic altogether.
There are rumours that the German online gambling tax is not going to be approved by the European Union, but time is short. The new law is set to be in place on July 1st and poker and casino sites have to comply in order to get licensed.
Unibet has now announced their reaction to this tax by cutting all their cash games and sit & go offerings. In addition to that also the loyalty system will be missing for German players. It’s going to be interesting to see what other sites are going to do and what changes they will apply to their products.
For German players it will more and more look like they will either need to leave the country if they want to pursue a profitable career or side career and if they are recreationals they might just go play on unlicensed sites in the “underground”.
partypoker colab with McLaren
Entain, the mothership of PartyCasino and partypoker, has agreed to a long term deal with the Formula 1 Grand Prix racing team of McLaren. The logos will already be visible at the next event at the Grand Prix in Monte Carlo on 23rd May.
It’s a great step for Entain and it might be an even bigger for online poker. The viewership of Formula 1 events is spectacular and to get eyeballs on one of the world’s biggest poker sites can only help to bring in new players to the game.
More online events announced
The online poker bonanza is not ending. More online poker action has been announced and here is a quick overview of what’s new.
Bounty Builder Turbo Series on PokerStars
PokerStars will hold another tournament series, combining progressive knockouts with turbo and thus creating the Bounty Builder Turbo Series. The $25 million guaranteed series will run from 23rd May to 6th June and feature 184 tournaments with buy-ins from $5.50 to $5,200.
888poker XL Series
888poker has announced a spring series, starting on 30th May and running until 6th June. The series will feature 25 events with a total guarantee of $1 million.
Lex Not Live
Hopefully, this is one of the last events that need to move online as we are more and more coming back to a live poker schedule around the world. Lex Live events were some of the most loved events of poker and Lex Veldhuis fans. Unfortunately, this is now the second time the event is moving online. But this also gives players from other corners of the world an opportunity to play with the legend himself.
The series is already running and can still be played until 23rd May on PokerStars.

Lots of photos from around Belfast City Hall this morning.
Nearly all the photos taken with TrueHDR app
The City Hall first opened in 1906.
Below is the Titanic Memorial Garden at the side of the city hall – it was 102 years yesterday that the Titanic sank.
I took the photo below from the steps of Marks and Spencers, and like the fact that the infamous black taxis are in the corner of the photo.
A few more statues and view of the city hall approaching from the west
This reflection of the City Hall caught my eye
as did the rusty drain pipe!
So there you have it, and mini iPhone photo walk around City Hall. I used to work in Belfast city centre and walked past the city hall several times a day, but don’t think I really appreciated the architecture and history at the time!
Is there a significant building near you that you take for granted? Do let me know in the comments, thanks!
