• Why Former World Champion Chose AEW Over WWE Last Night
Former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Jay White recently left New Japan Pro Wrestling.
There was speculation that White could be coming to WWE. There was even a report which stated that Triple H is very confident about signing White.
However, PWInsider reported that isn’t the case:
“There was absolutely no discussion of former New Japan Pro Wrestling star Jay White within WWE at all over the WrestleMania 39 weekend.
Based on multiple conversations with WWE officials and talents, we are told it does not appear White is WWE-bound.”
AEW President Tony Khan announced last night that White has officially signed with All Elite Wrestling.
Switchblade @JayWhiteNZ is ALL ELITE!
— Tony Khan (@TonyKhan) April 6, 2023
White then showed up on Dynamite to join Juice Robinson in beating up Ricky Starks.
You can watch it below:
— All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) April 6, 2023
According to Sean Ross Sapp, Vince McMahon’s return to WWE this year played a part in White’s decision to choose AEW over WWE:
“There was a lot of WWE interest in Jay White back in January, but a lot of things have obviously changed since then. Their loss is a big AEW gain.”

When I started making films in 2012, I didn’t have the slightest idea what I was doing. To be honest, I still don’t. Whether it is a film about two warring angels, a revolt in a small Ohio town, love and heartbreak in a laundromat, a personal testimony of faith or a story about health anxiety and COVID, I have told the story that was on my heart.
Derrick Magnum is that story right now. Here is the log line:
“Derrick is one of the leading directors/creative forces in the Superhero genre today. When his wife (posthumously) publishes a tell-all book about his years of misconduct toward her, he loses everything. Now, years later, he tries to find redemption in the eyes of his 21-year-old son.”
I remember watching the Discovery + Armie Hammer documentary and thinking “This cat is selling timeshares now” - How humbling is that? Can one find redemption? Are there things that are unredeemable? That is Derrick’s story- an attempt to answer those questions.
As for what your money will be used for? I mention this in detail during the video but Festival and marketing costs, feeding the actors and paying the composer.
No raffles, sweepstakes, giveaways, or promotions are offered in exchange for any donations made.

Just In : Commotion in church as congregation rebels, rejects guber candidate endorsed by priest
Catholic adherents are known the world over to be very obedient to their priests. But that seems no longer to be the case in Enugu, where devout worshippers are openly defying their priests over who to vote for during the Saturday, March 11, 2023 governorship election.
What was hitherto considered unthinkable recently played out at the Catholic Church Assumption Parish, Nkwo Nike, where the Parish Priest, Rev Fr Celestine Nwogbu, was heavily insulted by church members for allowing a particular gubernatorial candidate to campaign in the church, forcing him to end the mass abruptly.
The Enugu State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial candidate in Saturday’s election, Peter Mbah, had an awful outing at a major Catholic centre in the state on Sunday, March 5, when he went there to address them, on the invitation of some priests, to vote for him and other candidates of the party. As he was being introduced to the crowd of about 2,000 persons participating in the Youth Lenten Week at the expansive Ugwu Di Nso Pilgrimage Centre at Eke in Udi Local Government Area, the audience began to protest, screaming, “We don’t want the PDP”, “We want the Labour Party”, “We are Obidients”, etc.
Desperate efforts by priests to quieten the situation seemed to have worsened it, as the crowd went hysterical with abuses and protests. Two priests quickly spirited him away through the backdoor.
“Mbah is lucky that these are sacred grounds”, Gabriel Odoh from the neigbouring Abor community noted.
The young men and women who were attending a special youth programme at the pilgrimage centre under the auspices of the Catholic Youth Organisation of Nigeria (CYON) went after the cartons of water and soft drinks the PDP candidate brought, smashing everything to the ground in full public glare.
“We are thirsty and hungry, but we can’t taste anything from this man and his party because they are dangerous”, they explained to newsmen.
The scene was not quite different the same day at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish in New Haven, Enugu City, when Reverend Father Christopher Okechukwu attempted to canvass votes from congregants for Mbah. The congregants, including old men and women, protested vehemently, shouting on the top of their voices, “No, Father!”, “No!” “This is unacceptable!”, “We don’t want this kind of people in Enugu,’ “We don’t want Ebeano”, “Never again!”
The parish priest was forced to beat a retreat and apologise to the congregation, admitting that he was merely “carrying out an order from above” without explaining.
“I could not have possibly believed until today that there would be a day any priest would stay in the holy premises of the church, including the altar and before the Blessed Sacrament, and enjoin us to vote for the very persons in the PDP who brought Enugu State to its knees”, lamented John-Mary Eze, a participant in the Youth Lenten Week at Ugwu Di Nso Pilgrimage Centre who holds a B.Sc degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Nigeria at Nsukka, but is unemployed.
“Chief Oyibo Chukwu, the Labour Party candidate in the Enugu East senatorial district, was assassinated on February 22 and his remains burnt in his vehicle by the Ebeano group, a strong member of the state PDP. The PDP has also refused to condemn the widely reported harassment of popular priests in the Nsukka Diocese by the party’s deputy governorship candidate, Ifeanyi Ossai, because of their well-known criticism of bad governance in the state under Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi. Still, some of our leaders support the party’s candidates.”
Obumneme Eneh, who also attended the youth programme at Ugwu Di Nso, subscribes to the view that the LP candidate was murdered by the PDP. When asked about the evidence, he asked journalists rhetorically, “Has the PDP administration condemned the killing or condoled the Chukwu family, even though Governor Ugwuany is the chief security officer of the state and touts a peaceful Enugu State as his most important achievement? Has Peter Mbah, who hails from Nkanuland as the late Chief Chukwu, condemned the assassination or consoled the family? Hasn’t President Buhari condemned the barbaric act, sympathised with the bereaved family and directed the police to arrest the killers, yet his so-called brothers have turned a blind eye to the situation?”
Mary Ani, popularly known as Ada Jesus because of her extreme devotion, proudly told reporters in Enugu that she was among the congregants who shouted Fr Christopher down when he tried to sell Mba’s candidature at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish. “I am afraid the last days are here. These people are turning the Lord’s Temple into a place of merchandise, as written in Matthew 21: 12 and John 2: 16. We have the rumour that some leaders have collected filthy lucre from the PDP which has governed Enugu since 1999 and has vandalised the resources of our people and the future of the youth”.
Geoffrey Onyefuru, an ex-seminarian and economics graduate who supervises a business centre in Nsukka, regards priests campaigning for the PDP as inelegant church ambassadors. He wonders why the same people who accuse the President Buhari government and their political party of “damaging the country are ignoring the mess in Enugu”.
The ex-seminarian accuses the “tiny band of priests of paying lip service to integrity, the public good, selflessness and other virtues they preach. “How can they support Peter Mbah who was arrested for 10 months by the EFCC for his role in vandalising Enugu’s resources when he was the Commissioner for Finance under the Chimaroke Nnamani government? Was he not arrested by the EFCC again for the role of Pinnacle Oil and Gas company in the scandalous petrol subsidy? If they do not change their way and embrace rectitude, they will cause many followers to lose faith in the church”.
Ikenna Agu, who has no gainful employment two years after graduating in philosophy from Nnamdi Azikiwe University in Awka, Anambra State, told his friends yesterday: “As frustrated Nigerians, the youth would have confronted the PDP candidate if the Youth Week at the Ugwu Di Nso Pilgrimage Centre had not been during the Lenten season. During Lent, Christians all over the world atone for their sins through fasting, prayers, body mortification, self-restraint, forgiveness, and a more holy life.
“In South America, church leaders through the liberation theology fight on the side of the masses, but here in Enugu State a handful of priests are toeing a different line”.

San Diego County’s 2019 Ramona Air Fair & Fly-In will soar into Ramona Airport on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The 24th annual event will give the public the opportunity to enjoy airplane and helicopter displays, take airplane and tethered hot air balloon rides, and enjoy live country music, food trucks, a beer garden, a classic car show, a Kid’s Zone and more — all for free admission and parking.
The public also can help celebrate Smokey Bear’s 75 years of preventing wildfires. Smokey Bear himself will be there along with the men and women and aircraft from the U.S. Forest Service, Cal Fire, and police and sheriff’s departments.
Organizers thank RE/MAX for, weather permitting, offering free rides in its hot air balloon from 9 to 11 a.m.
Free activities for the children will include face painting, balloon making, and pinatas, and adults can enjoy “a cold one” at Hangar 24. The American-owned, independent brewery from Redlands, Calif., will have a variety of beers, including Orange Wheat, American Light, Betty IPA, Mango IPA, and Orange Guava.
And, of course, there will be a show of planes, helicopters, and classic cars, and tours of Cal Fire and U.S. Forest Service firefighting aircraft. Ramona Rattlers will return to wow the crowds with their skills in formation flying, and there will be meets and greets with Red Eagles Formation Team, March Aero Club and Air Group One.
The Whiskey Ridge Band will entertain from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and tours of the airport’s other facilities, including the Classic Rotors Museum and the control tower, will be available.
Free airplane rides with Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 14 will be available on a first-come, first-served basis for children and teens between the ages of 8 and 17.
Expected to draw thousands of attendees, the event also will feature food trucks and vendors.
Ramona Airport at 2926 Montecito Road, one of eight county airports, has the oldest Cal Fire air attack base in the state. California’s fire service started flying missions out of Ramona Airport in 1957.

In this blog video series, I have talked to quite a few people on the topics of security, privacy, and reliability as they relate to cloud computing. For this post, I had an opportunity to talk with Scott Charney, Corporate Vice President for Trustworthy Computing at Microsoft, to get his perspective on the current state of cloud computing. In my discussion with Scott, he talks about cloud computing and notes our changing relationship with computers.
“Now we are talking about this massive computing power and aggregation of data in the cloud. Some of the issues are really extensions of existing computing paradigms. If you are thinking about moving your data to the cloud, to some extent you’re outsourcing your computing capability. You have to think about the capability of the outsourcer.”
Scott shares that the cloud also offers an amazing ability to aggregate, analyze and disseminate data at far greater scale than ever before. He highlights new computing models based on virtualization and the ability to quickly scale up and down, as well as multi-tenancy, which means the security of your data depends in part on the virtualized compartments that separate your data from other data. Scott notes we will have massive capabilities to analyze data in new ways that provide great societal benefits, but arguably pose risk to privacy.
You can hear more about Scott’s perspective on cloud computing, security and privacy in the following short video:

Courtesy Pradeep, I had my first Aapoos mango today for lunch.
Aapoos is Konkani for what the West knows as Alphonso mangoes. The portugese felt more comfortable with a Portugese sounding name for it rather than the Indian one and the Indians promptly Indianised the name.
I will now have mangoes every day till the season gets over by July or so. While the season at Pune starts with Aapoos, it ends with the South Indian varieties that come in during our monsoon months. We on the Western side of the country are blessed that our season starts with the best of the wide variety that will become available as the spring and summer dove tail into the monsoon.
This year we are doubly lucky because prices have fallen compared to last year.

The acclaimed actor talks to Sarah Cooper about his directorial debut
Joseph (Peter Mullan) struggles to cope in life, while Hannah (Olivia Colman) looks for a way out of her abusive relationship, in Paddy Considine's directorial debut.
Tyrannosaur is the story of Joseph (Peter Mullan), a man plagued by violence and a rage that is driving him to self-destruction. As Joseph's life spirals into turmoil a chance of redemption appears in the form of Hannah (Olivia Colman), a Christian charity shop worker. Their relationship develops to reveal that Hannah is hiding a secret of her own with devastating consequences for both of them.
Renowned film and TV actor Paddy Considine (Dead Man's Shoes, The Red Riding Trilogy) makes his feature writer/director debut with Tyrannosaur, an exploration of how love and friendship can be found in the darkest of places. Tyrannosaur stars Peter Mullan (My Name Is Joe, Trainspotting), Olivia Colman (Peep Show, The Iron Lady, Hyde Park On Hudson) and Eddie Marsan (Happy Go Lucky, Vera Drake).
A Warp X and Inflammable Films production, Tyrannosaur was shot on location in Leeds and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, going on to win Sundance prizes for its direction and performances. An autumn UK release followed in October 2011, to great critical acclaim plus awards and nominations from the London Film Critics Circle, The Evening Standard Awards, The British Independent Film Awards, Bafta, Dinard, Nantucket, Chicago, The Independent Spirit Awards and the Empire Awards.
"Thoroughly satisfying, with a sledgehammer-swinging performance by Scottish actor Peter Mullan. Considine crafts a gut-wrenching tale of a blighty bar lout and the repressed Christian shopkeeper who brings light into his life." John Lopez - Vanity Fair
"In Considine's confident hands and those of his tremendous actors, the emotional arc is rich and full, leaving us shaken and breathless before allowing a whisper of atonement." David Rooney - Reuters
"If you want to see something special by a highly assured new director, make sure you buy a ticket." - the Guardian
"Know what to expect: a punchy, heartfelt drama that confirms that Considine's qualities as an actor translate effortlessly behind the camera." - Total Film
A Film4/Warp X co-production, the multi-award winning Tyrannosaur was released in October 2011 and won praise from most major UK critics, including The Telegraph's Robbie Collin, who said: "Tyrannosaur is a fearsome debut but it's subtler than the title suggests - and the film's uplifting moments make it easier to recommend than the average British misery flick." It is now available on DVD and Blu-ray.
As Film4 screens 80s comedy-horror Night Of The Creeps for the first time, writer/director Fred Dekker looks back on his filmmaking debut... Night Of The Creeps was written in three weeks. At least,

The newest co-star of Comedy Bang Bang! (also news this week) tweeted out some news regarding his main profession of making music. It all pertains to his upcoming album, Speedin’ Bullet To Heaven as Cudi promises a new single by the end of July and notes that it’s all guitar & bass. Hmm, I’m a little sad there’s no synths, but Cudi has proven throughout his career that he doesn’t need them, or any specific sound formula, to make a great record. Looking forward to the same with SBTH!
Just doing my part in passing it along…
Cudi’s talented and versatile enough to carry an album on his own so no qualms about this tidbit of news today. Perhaps a female vocalist on the hook would be my one request though (Jhene Aiko and her beau Dot Da Genius, anyone?)
Straight from Cud himself.
It’s been over a year now since the release of the stellar Satellite Flight and it looks like Speedin’ Bullet To Heaven will be the bridge to the long-awaited, also being recorded, Man On The Moon III.
For now, keep “love.” in your rotation (one of my faves this year too.)

Instagram and OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney has been arrested on a second-degree murder charge in connection with the death of her boyfriend.
Wednesday’s arrest comes four months after Clenney, 26, stabbed 27-year-old Christian “Toby” Obumseli in the couple’s Miami apartment.
Clenney is claiming self-defense.
According to WFLA, police responded to the high-rise apartment in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood on a domestic call on April 3.
TMZ obtained video from the scene that shows Clenney, who appears on OnlyFans under the name Courtney Tailor, handcuffed and covered in blood.
Obumseli was taken to a trauma center and pronounced dead from stab wounds.
Clenney was arrested Wednesday “without incident at an undisclosed location in Laupahoehoe,” Hawai’i Police said. Authorities were serving an arrest warrant issued by Miami-Dade County, Florida.
As of Thursday morning, Clenney was being held at the East Hawai’i Detention Center pending her initial court appearance in Hilo District Court, tentatively scheduled for Aug. 11.
Clenney has over 2 million followers on social media.
Obumseli worked in cryptocurrency, according to the Miami Herald.

At least nine people were injured in an explosion that took place in the central Iranian province of Isfahan on Sunday, Mehr news agency reported.
The incident took place in Shahinshahr at the Nargostar Sepahan Chemical Industries chemical and pyrotechnic factory early Sunday morning, said Abbas Abedi, spokesman for the Isfahan Emergency Management Center.
The reasons for the incident are not clear, it is still being investigated, said Mansour Shisheforush, head of the province's crisis management organization.
Nine factory workers were injured and taken to hospital, Mr. Shisheforush said. He clarified that currently several investigative teams are working at the scene to determine the cause of the explosion.
The plant is located about 45 km northwest of the city of Isfahan. The company produces "industrial and commercial explosives" and was founded in 1941, according to its website.

“Not good enough,” John Mann, the chair of the Inter-Parliamentary Coalition for Combating Anti-Semitism at the European Parliament, tweeted last month. “You should be leading on challenging this racism. Your statement is weak and puny.”
The rebuke was unusual for an eminent body like Kick It Out, which has 20 years of experience in combating racism and conducts training programs for similar groups around the world. Leaders of the Israeli version, Kick Racism out of Israeli Football, were in England last year for five days of anti-hooliganism training with Kick It Out.
Since Dieudonne introduced the quenelle last year, hundreds have posted online photographs of themselves performing the gesture, which consists of pointing toward the ground with a flattened hand while folding the other arm across the chest.
Several photos showed people performing the quenelle near Jewish sites, including synagogues, Holocaust monuments and the school in Toulouse, France, where four Jews were murdered in 2012.
On Jan. 9, the 70th anniversary of the deportation of hundreds of Jews from Bordeaux to Nazi death camps, more than a dozen people participated in a group quenelle outside the city’s main synagogue.
At least 10 other prominent French athletes have performed the quenelle in recent months. One was Alexy Bosetti, who performed the gesture for cameras and then said on Twitter he was only showing off his tattoo. Bosetti ended his tweet with an emoticon depicting a wink.
Despite complaints by Jewish groups, the quenelle appears to be immune from prosecution under French laws prohibiting the display of Nazi symbols. Such legal fuzziness is a Dieudonne trademark. He coined the word “shoananas” — a mash-up of the Hebrew word for Holocaust and the French word for pineapple — to suggest the Holocaust is a myth without breaking laws against genocide denial.
Nevertheless, French officials have taken a hard line against the quenelle in recent weeks. Interior Minister Manuel Valls said the gesture was an inverted Nazi salute and an expression of anti-Semitic hatred. He also urged cities to ban performances by Dieudonne, leading to the cancellation of the comedian’s nationwide tour that was due to begin this month.
“The quenelle may be a complicated legal matter, but it’s a very clear moral issue,” said Shimon Samuels, the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s international affairs director. He called on the Football Association to condemn it, “and especially on Kick It Out, which are not a court of law.”
The European Jewish Congress called for Anelka’s suspension as punishment and said the association’s inaction is indicative of a bigger problem in European and British soccer.
“Kick It Out’s tame response puts into question its commitment to tackling anti-Semitism in football and, sadly, reflects a common lack of reaction from the whole European football community,” Raya Kalenova, the executive vice-president of the European Jewish Congress, told JTA.
“Where is the apology from player or club? Where is the condemnation, ban or suspension from the Football Association, UEFA or FIFA? Kicking out racism and anti-Semitism requires a lot more than holding up banners.”

How Machine Learning Algorithms Works : An Overview
ML instructs an algorithm to learn for itself by analysing data. Algorithms here learn a mapping of input to output and detection of patterns or rewards. The more data it processes, the smarter the algorithm gets. In other words, Machine learning algorithms “learn” from the observations. When exposed to more observations, the algorithm improves its predictive performance.

Before the fall season begins, Rescue One Air can assist with air conditioning maintenance. Even in the cooler fall months, you're bound to run into furnace problems that affect your comfort.
As a result, expert maintenance servicing is required before turning on your furnace for the first time this year. Homeowners confront the most common HVAC and furnace troubles as the harsh winter approaches, needing Chandler AC maintenance.
Chandler AC Maintenance and Blocked Filters & Ducting
The most common reason for furnace inefficiency is a dirty filter and AC ductwork. Dirt and dust caught in your furnace's filters could be to blame if it doesn't seem to be blowing enough heat.
Filthy filters can hurt your furnace and increase your energy expenditure, in addition to harming your comfort. Replace your filters every three months or as suggested by your equipment's manufacturer's recommendations.
Fix Thermostat Problems with Chandler AC Repair
It's possible that your equipment doesn't always cause the issue. It's also possible that the thermostat that controls your furnace's functioning is to blame—changing the batteries and changing the thermostat to heat rather than cool are common thermostat fixes.
AC Maintenance Reduce Wear and Tear
Although this is more typical in older furnaces, poorly maintained modern models can also experience this problem.
Air leakage, uneven heat distribution, and equipment overheating can all be caused by furnace wear and strain. You'll be alerted to these problems and given important recommendations if you do regular inspections.
Lack Of Heat Necessitates Immediate AC Repair
Aside from a blocked filter, an insufficiently sized unit can result in a lack of heat. If your furnace is too tiny, it will not be able to meet your home's heating needs. That's why you constantly desire more heat, even if your heater has been operating for an extended period.
Noisy Furnace Need A Chandler HVAC Expert
When your furnace is running, pay special attention to the sounds you hear. If you hear loud noises that weren't there before, your furnace may have minor or severe issues. For a comprehensive diagnosis and repair, call a professional.
Where Are Chandler AC Maintenance Experts?
Fall is the best time to get your furnace ready for the next cold period. You must recognize and handle the difficulties we highlighted earlier before the winter season begins.

In 2015 the Department for Education set out its vision for English Apprenticeships following a review into the system, to increase the quality and quantity of apprenticeships through a transformational programme of change. Whilst apprenticeships were successful, the 2012 Richard Review of Apprenticeships found a number of challenges that we needed to address if we wanted to improve their quality and quantity.
It found that the quality of apprenticeship training needed to be improved and relevant to meet the needs of the employer. Employer investment and sustainable funding for apprenticeships must be secured and the accessibility of these apprenticeships also needs to be improved, supporting the vulnerable. Ultimately we needed more apprenticeships overall to meet the skills gap.
The Apprenticeship Reform Programme had four main objectives; to meet the skills needs of the employers, to create progression for apprentices, to widen participation and social mobility in apprenticeships and to create more quality apprenticeships.
According to the latest 2021 report on the programme as it comes to an end, three million apprenticeships had been entered into in England between 2015 and 2020. This latest report highlights how successful the Programme has been and outlines plans for 2021 and beyond.
On quality, their achievement rate for apprenticeship standards has gone up by 12%. But there is a lot more to do. To meet this objective, there is new employer and provider guidance and more self-assessment tools. There’s also a new national online Apprenticeship Workforce Development programme for training providers. The government is also implementing a new accountability approach to ensure high-quality assurance for all those registered to deliver training.
Last March the programme faced its biggest challenge yet with the Covid-19 pandemic. Apprenticeship numbers dropped due to the impact of national lockdowns, with staff on furlough, falls in vacancies and some employment failure. In response to this, the government introduced flexibilities and adaptations to enable apprenticeships to continue and all learners to start and complete their apprenticeship. Support was also provided to businesses, offering £1,500 in grants for every apprentice they hire, rising to £2000 if the new apprentice was under the age of 25. This was further increased to £3000.
We’ve always looked to employ apprentices within the business but due to our significant growth, we’re now looking to grow and employ even more. There’s a national skills shortage with more people retiring than entering the industry. So apprentices can help meet this need and improve local skills, helping more young people into the industry. We also help by working with local colleges to provide support, placements and apprenticeships to their students.
The Apprenticeship Reform Programme has been completed now but the focus now is on raising quality and extending accessibility of apprenticeships to employers in all sectors. The future of the programme remains responsive to the needs of the employers and apprentices through the new objectives. The government will now concentrate on embedding the reforms it has made and providing the market with sufficient stability to adjust to the new models of apprenticeships funding, delivery, and quality assurance.
The future programme will continue with a focus on four key benefits; to support employers of all sizes to benefit from high-quality apprenticeships that are relevant and responsive, drive up the quality of apprenticeships, support progression into sustainable employment and ensure apprenticeships are accessible to individuals at all stages of their career. This will hopefully help the country recover more quickly from the pandemic and help provide a solution to the skills shortage.


Rights groups in Indonesia have complained of escalating intimidation and security threats in the run-up to the verdict in a high-profile treason trial against seven West Papuans that is expected on Wednesday.
Papuan demands for independence or greater autonomy is among the most sensitive topics in Indonesia, but campaigners said the latest intimidation reflects a worsening political atmosphere across the archipelago of 270 million people.
"We have recorded at least 20 incidents in which students, academics, journalists, and activists, have been intimidated for criticizing the government and discussing politically sensitive issues, such as rights abuses in Papua," said Usman Hamid, local executive director of Amnesty International.
The claims of escalating intimidation come as a court in Balikpapan on Indonesian Borneo is expected to rule on a case against seven West Papuans who face between five and 17 years in prison on charges of treason for their purported involvement in anti-racist protests in August last year.
The demonstrations erupted across several cities in Indonesia after a group of Papuan students at a university dormitory in Java were reportedly taunted with racist slurs such as “monkeys”, “pigs” and “dogs”.
In the provinces of Papua and West Papua some of the protests turned violent and deadly, with shops and government building set ablaze.
The defendants were arrested in Jayapura, Papua, last year but moved to a jail in Balikpapan for security reasons.
Protests across several Indonesian cities on Monday called for all charges to be dropped.
Activists have drawn parallels between the treason trial and the Black Lives Matter movement, which has sparked the hashtag #PapuanLivesMatter and led to a series of online forums about perceived racism in Indonesia.
"Racism had no place in Indonesia, a multi-ethnic country with a motto and tradition of unity in diversity,” Teuku Faizasyah, a spokesperson for Indonesia’s foreign ministry told Reuters.
"The incident of mistreatment of Indonesians of Papuan origin are isolated and do not in any way reflect the policies of the government.”
Yuliana Yabansabra, a lawyer defending the seven West Papuans says she was attacked last week by an unidentified motorcyclist, who allegedly punched her in the head while she was driving.
“They didn’t try and take my bag or my wallet, so it seemed their plan was to try and make me crash,” said Yabansabra, “It felt like an act of terror especially directed at me.”
In early June an organizer of a discussion on West Papua was warned by his university in Lampung to cancel the event because it was “anti-government”. He later received anonymous threats on his WhatsApp, including a picture of his identity cards and his parents’ names.
Students have been similarly harassed in Jakarta and Bandung, according to research by Human Rights Watch.
In the past two weeks almost half a dozen forums on West Papua and racism have been obstructed, some by strange sounds such as clanging piano chords, while speakers have been spammed with robocalls from anonymous international numbers.

I’ve been following Bitcoin latest news and developments lately. Look like Bitcoin (BTC) price been stable lately at $1000. There were many prediction few weeks ago that Bitcoin will end 2017 at $2000, some even say at $3000 by end of 2017. For me, I don’t know, but a wild guess $2500 is not impossible based on historical trend.
News about Bitcoin does impact Bitcoin price now a day, although it’s still volatile. Volatile is good for day trading that’s for sure, however it’s not that easy to predict if it’s going to up or down next day. Knowing the news ahead of time might help, but sometime Bitcoin just immune the news whether it’s bad or good doesn’t impact Bitcoin much.
I’m holding some Bitcoin, although sold a bunch just barely enough to cover my next few years retirement at age 40, yeah, but if Bitcoin go up to $2k or $3k then it will sure help me greatly to continue my retirement.

Exeter City Council will be taking delivery of three new electric refuse vehicles, which will ultimately be powered by renewable energy sources, to help the city achieve its target to become carbon neutral by 2030.
Following a successful trial last year three Dennis Eagle eCollect 26t electric Refuse Collection The new electric trucks are being funded via contract hire, thanks to the council’s vehicle partner Specialist Fleet Services (SFS), as part of a 7-year fleet agreement, which commenced in 2019.
The fleet will eventually be powered by the Water Lane Solar Park, which is currently being built by the council and is scheduled for completion this summer. The park will comprise 3,700 solar panels to create 1.2MW of clean green energy.
Cllr David Harvey, Exeter City Council’s lead councillor for city management, said: “The introduction of three brand new electric refuse collection vehicles into our fleet is fantastic news for Exeter and its residents.
“The vehicles are clean and quiet and are a vital step on our journey towards a carbon neutral City.
“When it is complete the new solar array at Water Lane will supply power to the vehicles further reducing the carbon impact.
“Over 20% of the City Council’s vehicles are now electrically powered and this is the vital next step on delivering a 100% carbon neutral fleet.”
Bob Sweetland, managing director of SFS, added: “We are proud to be the first contract hire company to install a fleet of eCollect refuse vehicles in the UK.
“This is an important step in the decarbonisation of Exeter’s fleet, and we are confident that the new vehicles will be well received by crews and residents.”
SFS was established nearly 30 years ago and has a track record in delivering fleet and workshop management solutions to local authorities across the UK.
The company runs a network of workshops across the UK as well as operating its own specialist vehicle hire division, CTS Hire.

When analysing hedge funds, many investors have questions, or concerns, which are beyond the ability of traditional forms of hedge fund research. While many of these questions look to address aspects of risk management and mitigation, investors are now seeking more quantitative measures which can differentiate a fund’s strategy, risk and returns from those of its competitors, be they conventional peers within the same strategy bucket or indeed peers the manager themselves may not be aware of.
Rather than relying on analytics which look backwards, investors are increasingly looking forwards, worried about the possible future properties and behaviour of funds, about potential future returns and future risks.
In this article, I wanted to provide some insights for forward-looking investors (and managers) that might further inform their analysis of funds. I used Axicorda’s Aulexo technology and consulting platform to investigate the main industry strategy benchmarks through simulation: the objective being to cast some light on different aspects of what investors might be able to expect from these strategies in the next five years.
“Simulation is not prediction, but it is a powerful and flexible technique for exploring different future scenarios of a fund’s possible performance and risk, and provides a useful complement to traditional, retrospective analytics,” says Grant Fuller, co-founder of Axicorda.
The distinction between simulation and prediction is an important one: rather than providing a single, clear statement of the future (as one would expect with prediction), simulations provide a large number (in our examples 50,000) of possible outcomes and provides an impression of the likelihood of the future rather than a prediction of it.
Of course, any simulation has assumptions about the future, and for this article Aulexo was asked to make assumptions that over a five-year period an individual fund’s manager would be seeking to adhere to a particular strategy or mandate, and the fund’s performance would be influenced by factors similar to those it has experienced in the past. This article’s fundamental assumptions are, therefore, derived from historical performance but as will be discussed later, these assumptions can be changed to explore a range of ‘what if’ scenarios an investor might be interested in.
Applying these assumptions to a 60-month simulation of the hedge fund universe as a whole generates a diverse range of possible future outcomes (see Fig.1 and Table 1). This illustrates, based upon the assumptions discussed and the universe’s previous performance, a distribution of possible returns after an arbitrary time horizon of the next five years. For clarity, Aulexo was used to summarise the 50,000 scenarios showing the 5th, 25th, 50th (median), 75th and 95th percentiles, and based upon this the universe of funds provides a compelling picture for hedge fund allocation, with 95% of scenarios (or 95% confidence) generating returns above 17% in five years’ time, and 75% of scenarios (or 75% confidence) generating returns in excess of 38%.
While this aggregate perspective will certainly be of interest to investors in hedge funds, greater insight comes from drilling down into the universe by strategy (and ultimately individual funds). Fig.2 illustrates the dispersal of possible returns from a five-year simulation for each strategy, and clearly shows Emerging Markets funds have much greater deviation in possible future returns compared to, for example, Multi-Strategy or Global Macro funds.
Further insights can be obtained from these simulations to aid both investors and fund managers. We can begin to explore strategies (and ultimately individual funds) in terms of target-return expectations and risk appetites over these five years. Questions that are reasonable for an investor to ask can now have a quantifiable answer and allow investors to compare strategies and funds against these new criteria. For example, it is reasonable to consider the likelihood that Distressed Securities, as a strategy, will exceed a target return of 30% during this five-year period, or how this compares with Fixed Income Arbitrage, as a strategy.
Table 2 shows 82.8% of simulations for Distressed Securities (as a strategy) produced a return in excess of 30% after five years, compared to 64.6% of scenarios for Fixed Income Arbitrage. Similarly, a minimum target return of 40% is mostly likely to be achieved by the Multi-Strategy universe of funds (83.6%), and least likely to be achieved by Equity Market Neutral funds (19.8%).
In addition to looking at potential gains, an investor might reasonably be interested in simulating the likelihood of losses associated with strategies (or funds). Table 3 illustrates this for Aulexo’s five-year simulation of the main strategies, and shows the three strategies least likely to experience losses over five years are Global Macro (0.11% of scenarios), Multi-Strategy (0.03%) and Equity Market Neutral (0.01%). Conversely, the three strategies most likely to experience losses greater than 10% are Convertible Arbitrage (0.32% of scenarios), Fixed Income Arbitrage (0.39%) and Emerging Markets (6.15%).
Earlier I drew attention to the assumptions that underpinned Aulexo’s simulations and while the analysis has not challenged these assumptions so far, the flexibility of simulation means the findings can be taken in new directions to explore various ‘what-if’ scenarios. For example, an investor could modify, or stress, simulation assumptions applied to a fund. Rather than simply applying conventional market metrics – e.g., the impact of a fall in the S&P 500 or the oil price – one could explore how long a fund may take to reach a total drawdown of 25%, or how great a drawdown might be expected from a sustained period of losses, for example, over a 12 month period? Here again, it is possible to quantitatively explore questions that previously have solely been the speculative remit of qualitative discussions between managers and investors.
To illustrate this, I wanted to take a look at the effect disproportionate periods of sequential losses might have and to understand the likely drawdowns that might be expected from such adverse events. Table 4 shows the result of Aulexo’s simulations, inflicting the entire hedge fund universe with sequential losses. The results of these stress assumptions show, as would be expected, that as an ever-increasing number of months fail to generate positive returns, the drawdowns associated with these increase. Crucially, the simulations are able to quantitatively measure the magnitude of these drawdowns and provide investors the opportunity for a like-for-like comparison between funds.
However, the simulation can also improve understanding by providing insight into the possible distribution of scenarios. For example, should the hedge fund universe undergo sustained losses for a period of 12 months (similar to that experienced in late 2008), the mean drawdown is 16.9%, while 95% of scenarios did not have a drawdown larger than 25.6% and 99% of scenarios did not experience a drawdown greater than 29.2%. This additional level of quantitative detail helps investors grasp the relative merits and risks of any particular fund and also allows comparison between funds.
Having looked at possible scenarios associated with drawdowns, the next logical step would be to consider the ‘come back factor,’ namely how long would it take for a strategy, or fund to recover from a particular drawdown? Fig.3 illustrates the recovery rates for the hedge fund universe associated with some arbitrary drawdowns, and shows the probability (y-axis) of the universe recovering from the drawdown within a period of time (x-axis). The simulation shows there is a 50% chance that a fund will recover from a 15% drawdown within 18 months. Fig.4 extends this and allows a direct comparison of recovery rates for each of the main strategies associated with an arbitrary 15% drawdown.
Another way to stress our simulations is to modify, or bias, the magnitude of losses. In this type of simulation, investors may be interested in understanding what future scenarios might look like if losses (or gains for that matter) were greater (or less) than had been observed historically. This type of stressed simulation is especially useful for emerging managers with limited performance history.
Table 5 shows the likelihood of each of our strategies incurring a loss as we increase the magnitude of historical losses by an arbitrary amount. For example, if the losses experienced by the Global Macro strategy were 20% greater than they have been historically, the simulation shows the number of scenarios incurring a loss after five years increases a little under six-fold, from 0.10% to 0.57%. By contrast, the same losses experienced by the Convertible Arbitrage strategy increase a little under three-fold from 1.26% to 3.39%.
By enhancing the potential losses, and biasing our assumptions of the future in this way, we have used Aulexo to provide funds with a statistically rougher ride and measured how we might expect them to respond. This can provide very useful data to assist in fund screening and selection, but also to help articulate and explain allocation between managers and, indeed, between strategies.
Apply these techniques to individual funds then, and a powerful new risk metric emerges, one that allows investors to leverage computationally-intensive calculations of past returns and performance figures and apply their own unique bias assumptions to shape and explore scenarios. The adoption of this technology is growing amongst the investor and manager communities.
“Investors are increasingly sophisticated as they look to uncover new opportunities and risks, and simulation provides some unique perspectives,” says Leah Cox, Managing Director of Apex Capital Introduction Services (ACIS), adding, “Managers are under significant pressure to demonstrate their uniqueness, their differentiation. Those with insights from simulation have a clear advantage, and ACIS work with investors and managers alike to help maximize their benefit from it.”
Axicorda’s Fuller agrees: “Use of simulation-based analytics has become part of the investor toolbox for fund screening, selection and monitoring as well as part of their quantitative due-diligence. Aulexo’s technology and consulting has been helping a wide range of investors and managers make the best use of these advances.”
While Fuller himself is quick to point out simulation is not prediction, it is reasonable to suggest that analytics of this nature provide investors and indeed managers with the statistical food for an interesting discussion, and can only help improve the quality and substance of dialogue between investor and manager.
A manager who can tangibly demonstrate his fund’s uniqueness and resilience under harsher market conditions has an additional selling point.

A 38-year-old man has been arrested by the Police for raping six underaged boys between 10 and 14 years in Anambra state.
The man identified as Emmanuel Bassey was arrested by officers of the Anambra state Police command for allegedly raping six underaged boys on different occasions at his resident in Ngozika housing estate, Awka in Anambra state.
Bassey who hails from Abi local government area of Cross River state was arrested after a tip off to the Police, February 21, 2020.
Confirming the report, SP Haruna Mohammed, the Police image maker in the state said the suspect has equally made a voluntary confessional statement to the police and blamed the devil for the urge.
His six victims have been taken to the hospital for medical examinations.
The commissioner of Police has also ordered for the immediate transfer of the case to the state criminal investigation department (CID) for further investigation before the suspect is charged to court.

If you’re having a good day and don’t want to read about some majorly disappointing material, stop here. Otherwise, get ready to board the next train to Bummer City-and that line ain’t got no stops.
So, it was announced this year that the iconic grunge band Nirvana is going to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the ceremony next month. Basically everyone knows Nirvana as the three-piece group consisting of Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, and Krist Novoselic, but there’s one other player: Chad Channing, the group’s drummer during the recording of Bleach, Nirvana’s first-ever LP. Channing left the group in 1990, just a year before the band’s earth-shattering break-out hit “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Channing’s drumming appears on Nevermind in the track “Polly” (fun fact: this is Bob Dylan’s self-proclaimed “favorite Nirvana song”), which was recorded while he was with the band. Some other Channing-inclusive songs have been recycled for anthologies such the 1992 compilation albumInsecticide and several of the band’s live LPs.
Long story short, a rumor began circulating that Channing was going to be honored with Nirvana by the Hall of Fame, and it picked up some serious speed. The original source was Future Rock Legends, a blog that exclusively follows Rock Hall news. Other media outlets started asking Channing how he felt about his pending-induction. In an interview with Radio.com, Channing’s response to these questions was heartwarming: “When I told me daughter about the induction, she was super excited for me! So much of my excitement about it is for her.” Nirvana’s management even got him a ticket, and Channing officially announced that he would be present at their request.
Pack your bags, folks, we’ve got a one-way ticket to Downer Town!
At the beginning of this week, Channing was informed via text that he would actually not be honored with Nirvana at the ceremony. “Can you tell whoever looks after Chad Channing that he isn’t being inducted,” read the message received by Nirvana’s manager, “It is just Dave, Krist and Kurt.”
To get somebody’s hopes that high up only to be dashed in such a terse and impersonal way feels seriously wrong. I sincerely hope that Channing’s newest project, Before Cars, has a really great year to make up for this disappointment.
But I also want to talk about the decision itself.
You can’t totally blame the Rock Hall for this situation. For starters, it wasn’t the one who directly released the false information. While Future Rock Legends may have seemed reliable enough for Nirvana’s management and a number of music news sources, the site itself claims no association with the actual Hall of Fame. Some of its information is speculative, as it claims to be based on voter polls and historical precedent. Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that giving Channing a spot in the Hall for his participation in Nirvana would be a bit like bringing Pete Best in for The Beatles: While he may have been with the band during its formative years, he wasn’t present for what made the group what it’s known for today.
That said, Best wasn’t the original drummer for “the Beatles”-he technically only played with “The Quarrymen,” since the group had not made that transition yet. Plus, since Nirvana only ever recorded three studio albums before Cobain’s suicide, Channing has the distinct honor of being drummer for one third of the band’s LPs. Heck, Ronnie Wood is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the Rolling Stones, and he can hardly claim that much, as he didn’t even join them until 12 years into the group’s career. He’s not even on Exile on Main Street, for crying out loud!
I also totally blame the Rock Hall for the way it handled the correction. What on earth were these people so busy with that they couldn’t give the guy a freaking phone call? Literally anything is better than “I texted him to tell you”-everyone knows that.
The takeaway of this story, for me at least, is that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is stupid. It inducts popular acts and artists with relatively little consideration given to their part in rock history. Grunge is a shoot-off of punk music anyway, so you can tell it’s reaching outside of its genre for big names to keep this schtick going. What’s next: inducting ABBA?
Yeah, I went there.
…Ronnie Wood wasn’t even on Beggar’s Banquet.

One of the most hotly debated issues on the Second Amendment is over the right to carry firearms outside the home. Today, each of the 50 states as well as the District of Columbia authorizes ordinary citizens to carry a handgun in most public places under one of the following three regimes:
- Constitutional Carry: 12 states
- Shall-Issue permit: 30 states and DC
- May-Issue permit: 8 states
The debate has lately been inflamed by reports of Florida’s failure to fully complete background checks on 365 applications. But no regulatory scheme can be perfect. Instead, let’s consider what path to take to resolve the right to carry question.
The Constitutional Carry states (except for Vermont) came to their regulatory conclusion after several years running Shall-Issue permitting systems. They had found that there was little to no benefit commensurate with the cost of enforcement of permitting requirements. When law enforcement officers encounter gun carriers under suspicious circumstances, they can run instant background checks to determine that the carriers are within their Constitutional rights to possess firearms. So far, none of these states has reverted to its previous Shall-Issue scheme. Of these 12 states, eleven continue to issue permits to those who apply, primarily to facilitate their residents’ carrying while traveling in other states under the terms of the latter’s laws. Vermont, a state with the most liberal attitude toward gun carry, has made no move to develop a permitting regime since 1776.
Thirty states, recently joined by the District of Columbia, have adopted Shall-Issue laws. Under the Shall-Issue regime, a permit is generally required to carry a handgun in public which “shall” be issued to any applicant who meets the requirements prescribed by each jurisdiction. The least rigorous requirement is simply passing a NICS background check through the FBI. The most rigorous requirements add additional background checks, finger printing, training, testing and/or live fire qualification.
Only 8 states still issue permits on a May-Issue basis. Of these, a couple are fairly liberal, at least in some counties, about issuing permits to qualified applicants. The others are more restrictive, issuing permits exclusively to individuals engaged as security personnel, retired law enforcement officers, personal friends of influential public officials, generous contributors to the entrenched political party, judges, prosecutors or celebrities. The criteria for issuance in these states are highly opaque. Information is not readily available showing who has been issued permits or why.
Gun rights advocates have pursued two lines of attack on the May-Issue regimes of these states. One approach is to litigate in state and then federal courts for rulings that applicants who meet objective standards prescribed by the state have the right to be issued permits. The District of Columbia was the latest to be sued and the dispute was settled in that way by the Federal Circuit Court for the District of Columbia. It ruled that the “average citizen” had a right to be issued a permit. D.C. considered appealing to the Supreme Court but decided to accept the decision for fear of an adverse and nationally applicable ruling.
We don’t know what the future holds for litigation attacking May-Issue regimes. The Supremes have declined to grant cert on appeals from the Second, Third, Fourth and Ninth Circuits and it is not known why. Perhaps no case has been framed narrowly enough that five justices are prepared to take the next step. Justices should be reluctant to rule on the number and rigor of prerequisites such as training, testing or live fire qualification scores. The question of “need” itself is the big issue. Is it constitutional for a state to base carry decisions on any definition of “need”?
The alternative path is political, that is, for Congress to pass a National reciprocity bill. On the pro side, Congress has already passed national reciprocity laws affecting two classes of beneficiaries. The first, in 1993, covered armored car drivers while actively engaged in service of their employers. The second, in 2004, covered police and prison guards whether they are actively employed, disabled or retired with 10 years of service. The precedents support Congress exercising its power to supersede the states’ individually regulating firearm carry in public places.
The con side is primarily the Democrat Party advocating for, surprisingly, states’ rights, while complaining about a “race-to-the-bottom” in permitting requirements. For example, the State of New York has no wish to have visitors from Vermont carrying handguns in its territory who have never been subjected even to a NICS background check. Each state would be compelled to accept the standards of their 49 sister states, including no standards at all.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 38, the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017, but this bill has stalled in the Senate. To clear the Senate, it would need to clear the 60 vote filibuster rule. That could happen in only three ways: 1) abandoning the filibuster rule; 2) attaching the National Reciprocity bill to some other must-pass legislation like national defense funding; or, 3) a sufficient increase in the number of Senators from right-to-carry states. There are 42 such states, but of the 80 senators representing them, fewer than 2/3 support national reciprocity. It’s doubtful that sufficient turnover will occur in the 2018 election to pass national reciprocity. The possibility is greater by 2020. Should the gun-rights movement grow, it’s inevitable that national reciprocity will become law in time.
What is the way forward to achieve nationwide right-to-carry? Ideally, perhaps, each May-Issue state will ultimately adopt the same right-to-carry standards now in effect in 42 other states. But it may come that appointed judges of the Supreme Court will call that shot in the nearer future. Or, Congress and the President could legislate it, no doubt inviting court challenges up to the Supreme Court.
However it happens, it will be none too soon. “The people’s right to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed” gives no excuse for cryptic decisions by states that arbitrarily limit that right.

All students can now receive free breakfast and lunch through the entire 2020-21 school year, thanks to an extended waiver from the United States Department of Agriculture.
The USDA’s Oct. 9 announcement extends the nationwide waiver it first announced in August that allowed the free summer meal program to continue for all students through Dec. 31 or until available funding ran out.
USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue said the move helps feed students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“As our nation recovers and reopens, we want to ensure that children continue to receive the nutritious breakfasts and lunches they count on during the school year wherever they are, and however they are learning,” Perdue said. “We are grateful for the heroic efforts by our school food service professionals who are consistently serving healthy meals to kids during these trying times.”
The waiver, which extends through June 30, 2021, allows schools to provide free meals outside of typical group settings and meal times, and allows parents and guardians to pick up meals for their children.
At Cape district schools, in-person students receive the same grab-and-go meals available for pickup by remote students five days a week; in-person learners can also pick up free meals on their remote days.
Remote learners and students working from home that day can fill out the online remote order form on their Clever dashboard, capehenlopenschools.com or their school website by 9 a.m., and arrange to pick up meals at the school most convenient to them.

I like to think that the million dollar lifestyle is a lifestyle that doesn’t feel like a million dollars. To me, this lifestyle is about living like it is the million dollar lifestyle. It is about living off your savings and working hard to pay off your home. To me, that is the lifestyle that is worth living for.
I think that the million dollar lifestyle is one of those things that is more difficult to describe than it is to act like. It just feels so “normal,” like it would be comfortable and “normal” to live that way. But it is not, and a million dollar lifestyle is not about comfortable. I believe that it is about living well. It is about living the lifestyle you would want to live if you had enough money to do so.
The million dollar lifestyle is often referred to as “golden handcuffs” because it’s an easy lifestyle to live well with, but it’s also a lifestyle that can be difficult to live with if you can’t afford it. A million dollar lifestyle is about living well, and it is a lifestyle that can be difficult to live well if you can’t afford it.
This is where I think most people get confused. A million dollar lifestyle means you can live very well for a very long time, but it is not necessarily a lifestyle where money comes into play. A million dollar lifestyle means that you can live very well as long as you can fund your lifestyle with money, but it is not necessarily a lifestyle where money is in a sense an obstacle.
Many people, especially those with a huge mortgage, a huge car payment, and a huge mortgage on their first home, live in a million dollar lifestyle. It is a million dollar lifestyle that involves lots of cars and expensive clothes. It is a million dollar lifestyle that involves spending a lot of money on things that are not necessarily a necessity, but things that you want.
You could say that Million dollar lifestyle is a lot like the “million dollar house,” but a million dollar house is a much smaller home with a smaller mortgage. In a million dollar house, you can afford lots of food and clothes, and your house is a place where you can live in the moment, not in the future.
Million dollar lifestyle is the kind of house we all dream of, but a million dollar house is one of those dreams that doesn’t quite quite work out the way you’d like. It’s not the most comfortable lifestyle in the world, but it’s close enough to the way we’d like it to be for the most part.
Million dollar homes don’t exactly have the most comfortable lifestyle, but they are comfortable enough to give the impression that they are. They are comfortable enough to give the impression that they are comfortable enough to be the most expensive place in America. I’m not sure if I’d call a million dollar house comfortable, but they do have a certain appeal.
A million dollar house doesn’t have to be the ultimate, best-made-in-America-home, though. In fact, it doesn’t even have to be the most expensive home in America. It can, however, be the most expensive thing you’ve ever bought. In fact, it can be the most expensive thing you’ve ever bought.
There are a lot of people that would never even consider the idea of purchasing a million dollar house. But you can always buy a million dollar house. You can always afford to buy a million dollar house. You can always afford to buy a million dollar house. But it doesn’t have to be the most expensive house youve ever bought.

Kodak, Atari had future within their reach
My living room is a testament to Kodak, with my children’s years depicted in photos. My garage is a quiet tribute to Atari, with the arcade game Mission Command under a protective cover. Both are examples of companies that could have stayed at the top of their sectors, if only they had a Steve Jobs-like visionary at the helm.
Kodak could have been Nikon. Atari could have been Nintendo. But neither saw into the future of what their industries had to offer, and therein lies the dilemma of Kodak and the demise of the Atari that was founded in 1972.
Kodak came much too late to the digital camera game, even though the company holds 1,100 patients for digital camera technology and invented the digital camera way back in 1975.
What a shame. Kodak was so ahead of its time. There just wasn’t a market for the technology because the Internet and the software to make its use ubiquitous was still years away. Plus, maybe the company thought it would cannibalize itself. If only it knew how to market that next generation in picture taking.
Instead, when digital photography started to take over the industry, it was Fujifilm digital cameras and camera makers like Nikon, Cannon and Samsung leading the way. The end result: The once-innovative and dominant 131-year-old company is down to selling its patents and trading at around $1.41 a share as of Oct. 12.
Then there was upstart Atari. I know this one well because my husband supervised the coin-op division back in the early 1980s. It became the only profitable part of the operation, after Warner Communications bought the company. During its heyday the coin-op division, which manufactured the arcade games, was shipping out a whopping $1 million a day in product. When Atari folded, it had a significant impact on the valley, with hundreds of hires on its payroll. My husband had the sad honor of turning off the lights and locking the doors.

The Dolphins haven’t had a winning record in four years, and haven’t won a championship in nearly 40.
But they’re hoping their NBA neighbors can finish off Oklahoma City for the championship tonight, if only to soak up a little winning atmosphere.
“They’re battling,” guard Richie Incognito told Mike Berardino of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. “They’re a very talented group, but I think down the stretch in these playoffs they’re really showing what a tough bunch they are.
“It’s really great to see. They’ve faced adversity on all fronts and they just seem to overcome.”
The Heat actually displayed some football-style toughness in Game 4, with LeBron James playing through painful cramps and hitting a key 3-pointer late in the game.
“Would love to see LeBron get some people off his back,” tight end Anthony Fasano said. “He deserves it.”
Of course, the late nights of televised NBA playoff games doesn’t always groove with getting ready for minicamp.
Wide receiver Davone Bess admitted to falling asleep by halftime of most games, while coach Joe Philbin made it until the final 30 seconds Tuesday night before dozing off.
“That’s a late night for me,” Philbin said.
While players would like to believe there’s some sort of momentum to be gained, the reality is multi-sport championships for a city are rare.
As Berardino points out, the football Giants and Yankees won titles in 2009, and the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics and Bruins combined for seven championships in Boston the last decade.
An NBA-NFL double hasn’t been accomplished, and it isn’t likely to this year, no matter what the Heat do tonight. With James and Dwyane Wade, the local basketball team has legitimate stars, something the Dolphins have a serious lack of.
