While the case is currently closed, this would possibly maybe maybe seemingly maybe maybe also simply remain originate for a year from the date of the incident. This leaves room for the opportunity of criminal charges if any more incidents happen between 50 Cent and Monegain within that timeframe.
Despite the recordsdata of the dropped charges, neither 50 Cent nor his representatives absorb offered any touch upon the matter.

Who Become once Injured?
Sadly, the throw struck a lady in the head, causing her injuries. The girl who used to be hit used to be Vitality 106 host Bryhana Monegain and she used to be taken to the health middle. Sources announce that Monegain used to be now not purported to be in the restricted blueprint off-stage, making her the one sufferer of the microphone toss.
The injuries sustained by Monegain affected her head and neck.

At some stage in the Final Lap Tour, the Vitality rich individual faced one other impediment when he used to be compelled to delay a whisper in Phoenix attributable to outrageous heat. With temperatures exceeding 116 degrees, the protection of the target audience and crew grew to turn into a priority, leading to the rescheduling of the match.
In further definite recordsdata, 50 Cent recently collaborated with the Washington Commanders and his cognac mark, Sire Spirits. As a part of the partnership, 50 Cent’s Branson Cognac will abet as the crew’s respectable cognac, while Le Chemin du Roi would possibly maybe be the respectable champagne.

Artist: Luke Nicholson
When: April 6, 2017
Venue: Plan B Lounge
Where: Moncton, NB
Genre: Rock, Pop
Being fairly new to this gig, I’m not always familiar with the work of who I’m going to be covering. Which is actually one of the cool things about doing this, I get to experience the artist live for the first time. Everything I’ve covered to date has been pretty amazing and I’ve discovered so much new music. Thursday night was right in line with everything else I’ve encountered so far.
Luke Nicholson is an amazing, singer/song writer/performer from Lakefield Ontario. He took the stage alone that night, just he and his guitar (and mandolin for a bit). For the evening, the crowd was treated to a wonderful performance. One thing I noticed about Luke, is that he really had command of his voice, not only in range but in articulation.
His new CD, Shape and Sound, drops on April 14th. I was able to get an advanced listen, and I have to say, it’s soooo good! Check back here for a review of the album! Until then, follow him on social media and check out the first single from his new album:
For more photos from the show, head to our Facebook page!
Game Designer and photographer, who owns 3 guitars, but cannot play any of them, despite being able to read music, and play the trumpet. Music has always been a part of my life. From the time I could walk I used to run around the coffee table to the tempo of Dueling Banjos. I don’t remember how old I was when I went to my first concert, but I know I was so young the loud music made me cry. It was the Beach Boys btw. Since then I have tried to get to as many shows as possible. Even traveling great distances for shows. I am here to help share my love of photography and music, but capturing as much as the passion our Canadian artists give to their craft as I can.

Ready to Bounce to Better Health?
Rebounding is both low-impact cardio and lymph circulation therapy
With more and more women living longer after breast cancer, research focus often turns to living with the effects of the disease and its treatments — and one of the most significant is the lingering risk of lymphedema.
Exercise can help prevent and manage lymphedema, and recently rebounding —a workout that uses the mini-trampoline — is getting a second look. You remember the mini-tramp, of course: that classic weight-loss tool of the 1980s (along with leg warmers and headbands). It has enjoyed a resurgence in recent years, bolstered in part by doctors’ increased understanding of the lymphatic system. Some experts say rebounding is the only exercise that can move lymph fluid vertically, with its gravitational force and rhythmic motion.
Jump to it: Exercise is IN again!
Fitness centers and athletic clubs worldwide have added rebounding classes to their calendars, and with higher-quality home trampolines available, consumers are buying their own rebounders as well.
“I think [rebounding is] coming back because it addresses so many fitness and health issues in a single, enjoyable, and convenient workout, which are things people are really starting to appreciate,” explains John Hines of bellicon USA, one of the premier manufacturers of high-end rebounders. “In many ways, Americans are less healthy now than they were before the fitness boom of the ’70s and ’80s. Our lifestyle has changed a lot in 40 years. People are more inactive than they used to be, which also makes us vulnerable to a host of health problems.”
Most consumers realize they need to find exercise that is enjoyable, in order to make it a habit. This varies for everyone, but rebounding classes are filling up for a reason – many folks agree that bouncing on a trampoline is fun!
Lymphatic system: Understand the flow
Your lymphatic system is a part of your circulatory system, carrying fluid from tissues to lymph nodes via a network of its own vessels. Lymph fluid is very similar to blood plasma but contains disease-fighting white blood cells (lymphocytes), waste products and cellular debris, along with protein and bacteria.
The major difference between the cardiovascular system and the lymph system is that the lymph system doesn’t use the heart to pump its fluid. Motion is typically slow and lacks pressure. Lymphatic circulation can be stimulated by manual drainage (massage), muscle contraction and aerobic exercise. Walking, dancing, swimming, hiking and Pilates are all healthy options, but according to popular wellness literature (note that there haven’t been any definitive scientific studies to date), the rhythmic bounce of rebounding allows lymph valves to open and close simultaneously, and this can increase lymph flow significantly.
“People with any existing health issues need to talk to their doctor first before beginning any new type of workout,” advises Hines. It’s also recommended that people with lymphedema wear compression garments when exercising. But proponents of rebounding and its resultant lymph-moving say the benefits are numerous:
- Cleans out toxins such as dead and cancerous cells, other wastes, infectious viruses and metals
- Strengthens the immune system by removing antigens
- Protects the joints from hard landings and fatigue (it’s been called the second-best low-impact exercise, after swimming)
- Improves balance and coordination
- Works the heart more efficiently; 20 minutes on a rebounder is said to compare to 1 hour of running
- Brings out your inner child – jumping is a fun workout!
Working up a sweat without wearing down your joints — and feeling like a kid again? Sounds like something we should all try!
Speaking of Sweating…

On May 22 members of Ladysmith First Responders delighted the children at the Primary School with mascots, fire trucks, a police dog and much more as a reward after they raised $7,750.00 through the 4th-annual Elemental Run.
The run was hosted by the Ladysmith Primary School children and the Parents Advisory Committee. The children raised almost all of the money for the event through sponsorship for the runners.
Run Committee Member Devon Warren was happy to see how excited the children were.
“It was great to see the kids get involved to help the school. The prizes of pizza parties, stuffy rides, skating, bowling and swimming passes all combined as incentives to motivate and energise the kids,” she said. “It was a great family and community event.”
One of the big prizes was the first responder prize: a visit to the school by members of the RCMP, and members of Ladysmith Fire/Rescue, along with their trucks. An RCMP dog handler and his dog Hawk were a big hit. Members of search and rescue and BC Ambulance were also present.
The Elemental Run and Walk event took place on a beautiful May 11. More than 178 people took part in the race with ages ranging from 1 to 78 and people of all abilities involved. Prizes were handed out to the fastest runners in each age category and there were many random door prizes.
PACs are officially recognized forums of parents within the school community that discuss and advise the school and school board on matters relating to the education and wellness of the students. Funds raised by the PAC pay for field trips, authors visits, performances in school, classroom supplies for each teacher, and the schools food program. T
his year the PAC was able to work with the school counsellor to purchase materials for parent education. All parents with children in a school are encouraged to contact and participate in the PAC program.

Council narrowly passes new levy
After a deadlocked vote Monday, the Jacksonville City Council reached a compromise by slightly cutting its 2014 tax levy.
At the second reading to pass a 5 percent increase for the coming year’s levy, aldermen were split in a 5-5 decision and Mayor Andy Ezard was not present to cast a tie-breaking vote.
Some contention was expected; even after the first reading of the ordinance on Nov. 25, several aldermen voiced their wish to lower the percentage of the increase.
The compromise — only narrowly approved in a 6-4 vote — was to increase the levy by 4.25 percent, cutting $39,000 out of the original proposed levy of $5.35 million.
Alderman Jenny Geirnaeirt proposed that the next levy should be increased by 3.5 percent, but the concern from other aldermen was that this would not even be enough to cover obligations for pensions and required salary increases.
The city would have to increase its levy by 1.8 percent to cover increased pension payments and more than 2 percent to cover salaries.
Lowering it below 3.8 percent was not seen as feasible.
“If we don’t make that by the end of the year we’d have to take that money out of the reserve,” Alderman Lori Large Oldenettel said. “Which doesn’t give us a six-month surplus that we always try to maintain and hold. That’s decreased by two months over the last three years I’ve been on the council. We’re dipping into it right now.”
Cutting the levy essentially means cutting into the city’s capital improvement projects. Geirnaeirt said this was partly why she wanted to see the levy lower.
“As upset as people are, I don’t think people will understand the services the city provides unless we decrease what we’re doing for them,” she said. “So by decreasing their tax levy, in essence we’re saying, ‘we’re not going to do as much.’”
Geirnaiert was the one swing vote that allowed the city to pass its levy as it is required to do before the end of the year.
Geirnaeirt and fellow aldermen Marcy Patterson, Adonnis Shaw, Mike Wankel and Steve Warmowski voted against a 5 percent increase to the levy. Geirnaeirt was the only alderman to change her vote to pass the levy.
Alderman Shaw said he disapproved of the increase and echoed other aldermen’s sentiments that the city has to keep its budget tight going forward.
“I heard that we have been conservative, but we haven’t been conservative enough, especially if we are getting to this situation here,” Shaw said. “There’s a lot more that we could have done.”
City Attorney Dan Beard told the council that Ezard was not present at the meeting because he was feeling under the weather.

…and when the hemisphere in question is the left, the right takes charge and invents a clever metaphor for total lack of common sense—like, say, half of a brain on vacation. So, my right brain has been a live wire of firing synapses while my left has a solo cricket serenade on a loop. As it turns out, brains function better when left intact.
For the past couple of weeks, my creativity has been overwhelming, to the extent that I am actually irritated. Losing sleep because I still haven’t come to terms with living in the Caribbean is one thing, but to lose sleep because I want to paint an image that features an origami crane is senseless. In the last fifteen days, I have painted six original watercolors. My attempts to wring out the creative spasms by flying through canvases have been entirely ineffective. Even now I consider the brilliant new wash of colors I’ll use on my next piece.
Most of my friends and family know that I paint; but surely they know I don’t paint this much. The urge to break out the brushes happens about twice a year. I paint a picture; usually I give it away; then I’m creatively exhausted for a span of four to six months. But now I’m being rocked by this insatiable need to create. The need is not driving me to my usual photo recreation specialty, either; instead, I am caught up in a surrealistic and abstract chaos.
In between mental designs of my next hallucinogenic creation, my left brain stirs long enough to correct my increasing lapses in common sense. Rather than cracking an egg over a mixing bowl, I recently found myself emptying its contents into the trash, then standing dumbfounded with the shell halves still in my hands. What had happened was reckless overcompensation. Being too busy musing over potential painting subjects to pay adequate attention to the task at hand, I overcompensated by keeping a step ahead of myself. So when I should have been emptying an egg into the batter, I was thinking about throwing out the shells. Hence the egg in the garbage. Left Brain was also kind enough to correct me when I momentarily considered dumping a silica pack in our salt shaker because Right Brain thought it would prove more effective than rice.
Before I go any further, I want to clarify that I do not begrudge my flamboyant mind. Never have I taken for granted this talent which leaves a trail of my very own artwork. And certainly I won’t begrudge that trail a little detour if it’s for a good cause. While I am not yet sure of the cause, I do know that some of my paintings (and hopefully some of my photos as well) will be part of a silent auction for a fundraiser next month. Perhaps my creative craze will do some good for a deserving organization.
If logic and analysis are left brain attributes and imagination and rhythm are right brain attributes, then Ivan and I are two halves of the same brain. Thanks to his aptitude for technical analysis and political logic, he can correct me when I question the role of my Medusa Oblongaza strip. Meanwhile, I am his saving grace when his personal statement sounds like it was composed by a passionless robot.
Speaking of logic and brains, Ivan completed his first final on Monday. Bioethics is a half-term course, so it finished two weeks before his other courses’ midterms are scheduled to occur. The day before his final, Ivan studied for hours before finally announcing, “This is crap. Everything in this class is subjective. There’s no way I’m going to do well.”
Turns out he didn’t do well, he did exceptional. Now he can turn his focus to his remaining courses, which will be holding midterms in one week. I know this is a stressful time for first term students, so I’m trying to be supportive. I tiptoe around Ivan when he’s hunched over his notecards with his head clutched forlornly in his hands. I don’t complain that we can’t afford the time or the money to go out. And when Ivan comes home from school complaining that he “smells like formaldehyde,” I don’t add, “because you’ve been wallowing in pickled corpses.” Really, I am doing my best.
The weather is beautiful, as usual. The past couple of days have been cooler, with fleeting showers that leave the air wet and fresh. I’ve realized that rain is falling somewhere on the island always. Typically storm clouds visibly ring the mountain peaks and with the rains come rainbows. Apparently, being in the dry season, this amount of rain is unusual. Perhaps as the dry season continues, the rain will fall less frequently.

More than half of parents didn't get their first choice of a place at one Cheshire school this year.
Exclusive figures show just 44 per cent of those who put St Martin's Academy Chester, in Cheshire West and Chester, as their first choice primary secured a place for this September.
The school had 2.3 first preference applications for each of the 23 places offered - 52 in total.
Read more of the top stories from across Cheshire here.
Of those who put the school as their first pick, only 23 were successful.
Including second and third preferences, there were 6.3 applications for each offered place, but no one who put the school as a second or third choice secured a place.
If you want to know how many applications there were for a place at a school in your area, you can use our interactive to explore how successful people applying were this September.
Pewithall School, in Halton, was the next hardest primary to get into locally, with just 52 per cent of those who put it as a first preference getting a place.
There were 1.9 first preferences for the school, a total of 56, for each of its 30 places offered.
King's Leadership Academy Warrington was the hardest secondary school to secure a place at locally.
The school had 1.4 first preferences for each of the 160 places offered, with just 70 per cent of those who put the school as their first choice getting a place.
Overall, the secondary school was put down as a preference 482 times. However, no second or third preferences were successful.
Shavington Academy, in Cheshire East, saw 237 first preferences for 178 places offered - 1.3 per place - with just 70 per cent of parents who put it as a first choice being offered a place.
With children returning to school for the new year, applications for places for those set to start primary or secondary school next September are starting to open.
The application deadline for applying for a secondary place is October 31, while it is January 15, 2022, for primary applications.
Beaumont Primary School in Croydon is the toughest primary school in England to get a place at.
Got something to say on this story? Let us know.
Just 23 per cent of those who put it as a first preference secured a place in 2021.
That was down from a 26 per cent success rate in 2020, when it was also the toughest primary to get into.
It had 133 first preferences - 4.4 for each of the 30 places offered - and 14.5 preferences per place in total.
The Royal School in Wolverhampton was the hardest secondary school to get into, with just 10 per cent of those who put it as a first preference getting a place.
Competition has also got tougher compared to 2020, when 12 per cent of first preferences secured a place.
There were 8.4 first preferences, a total of 219, for each of its 26 places offered.
Overall there were 34.2 preferences for each place for children starting this September.
The data from the Department for Education is based on figures from National Offers Day, so data held directly by individual schools may differ, for example, because late applications were included.

Engineering bacteriophage P22 as a nanomaterial
O'Neil, Alison Linsley
MetadataShow full item record
The precise architectures of viruses and virus-like particles are highly advantageous in synthetic materials applications. These nano-size compartments are perfectly suited to act as containers of designed cargo. Not only can these nanocontainers be harnessed as active materials, but they can be exploited for examining the effects of in vivo "cell-like" crowding and confinement on the properties of the encapsulated cargo. The high concentration of many different types of mutually volume excluding macromolecules in the cell causes it to be a crowded and confining environment in which to carry out reactions. Herein, the molecular design of the bacteriophage P22 encapsulation system is described and utilized for the synthesis of active nanomaterials and to explore the effect of encapsulation on the entrapped proteins' properties. In the designed system, any gene can be inserted and results in the fusion of the insert to a truncated form of the P22 scaffold protein. This scaffold protein fusion templates the spontaneous in vivo assembly of P22 capsids and also acts as an encapsulation signal. Once encapsulated, we can examine how crowding and confinement affect inter-molecular communication and activity of the cargo molecules. The P22 system is unique in that the capsid morphology can be altered, without losing the encapsulated cargo, resulting in a doubling of the capsid volume. Thus, the encapsulated fusions can be examined at two different internal concentrations. The packaged capsids contain up to 300 copies of fusion and fill more than 24% of the internal volume with the internal concentration of the fusions in the millimolar range. Not only are these fusions densely and efficiently packaged, but they retain their activity. Described herein is the packaging of fluorescent proteins, enzymes, and active peptides. In all cases, it is shown that the enforced proximity via encapsulation greatly affects the fusions activity compared to the fusion free in solution. To expand the utility of the P22 capsid as a nanomaterial, the inherent asymmetry implored by the portal complex has also been exploited. The P22 encapsulation system has proved to be an effective and versatile vehicle for nanomaterials design.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
His overall point about believers should be a follower and not just a fan is spot on. And several of his points do help one look much more introspectively than most of us tend to do.
Kyle Idleman's message in Not a Fan reminds me of David Platt's message (but not his style) which I have appreciated over and over. It's the message that many who think and call themselves Christians will one day be surprised to hear Christ say He never knew them. That's because there's a subtle but eternally important difference between a fan of Jesus who cheers him on "from the sidelines"and a follower who personally, daily, and entirely follows a Savior who served and suffered. This is the message of Not a Fan, and I'm convinced it's one that we would do well to hear over and over.
There were a few stylistic choices that I didn't like so much, which vary in their importance. Most notably, I sometimes felt that Kyle Idleman was poking fun at those he calls "fans" of Jesus when it is, in fact, a very tragic and sobering subject. I thought he was spot on when he called this group of people delusional, but at times he seemed to tease and ridicule them, which I didn't appreciate. On a less important note, I felt like he overused the literary device of starting consecutive sentences with the same phrase. It's very effective when used in moderation, but I admittedly got tired of it in Not a Fan. Much to the author's credit, however, his book was packed with powerful analogies and examples that I wish I could remember in the future.
In summary, Not a Fan by Kyle Idleman promotes a good, much-needed message and has just a few stylistic choices I didn't like. I appreciated it and would read it again and recommend it to just about any Christian. That's 4/5 stars for my experience of the book.
I give it 4 stars because a lot of the information is redundant, and you just want to tell the author, "Yes, OK, I GET IT. Now what?" But he keeps drilling down on the distinctions of 'fan' and 'follower.' It's not until the very end that he gives a direct call to action and a lifting of the burden imposed by 95% of the book.
Top reviews from other countries
I do believe that in order to become a true Disciple, then, according to Luke 9:23, that the Believer must have a full surrender and dying to self experience.
The author ably describes what the true life of Discipleship looks like and what it will mean for anyone to take up their cross and follow Christ.
This is a challenging read, but to read this book and leave it down without making a choice between mere Christianity and Discipleship is not a choice!
Read it if you dare!
Easy read as Kyle Idleman is funny. He is definitely straight to the point but give worldy examples, which I think is superb, the decribe his points.
Loved this book !!

Model Y Body-In-White May Shed Light On Tesla Glass Incidents
Another video, about the door module, may help explain them a little more.
The first time I reported an issue with glasses on Tesla vehicles was on January 6. Sergio Rodriguez’s Model X had a waterfall in his dashboard. We later learned from Chad Hrencecin, from “The Electrified Garage,” and also from George Catalin Marinescu, from “Doctor Tesla,” that this was a common issue. New glass issues emerged in March. Surprisingly, the Tesla Model Y teardown shed some light on the causes of these problems.
Two recent videos come to the rescue about this subject. The first one, embedded above, had the goal of showing a naked body. Don’t be naughty: it was the Model Y’s body-in-white, or BIW, for short.
Munro showed the structures of the body, such as the shot guns, and talked about measures Tesla takes to make the Model Y a silent car, such as filling some of them with foam. The engineer also spoke about the lack of paint on the frunk bay, something we have already mentioned Toyota also does with the Etios, a cheap car sold in Brazil and India.
Gallery: Sandy Munro Model Y Teardown
Perhaps these windows are shattering due to heat shocks, as some readers suggested. Anyway, what if they are related to the alignment of the doors? Or to the design of these modules? Or even to compensation springs that are too strong? We’ll probably have to wait a little more to clarify this. If you have any information or related problem to report, get in touch with us.

Voters on Niʻihau were unanimous in their support for electing President Donald Trump to a second term. All 43 votes cast in Kauaʻi District 16 – Precinct 06 went to the Trump/Pence ticket with zero votes cast for Biden/Harris.
Interestingly, Niʻihau voters also selected former Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr as their top choice for the Kauaʻi County Council.
President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris won every other precinct on Kauaʻi, with the final county-wide outcome 62.3% or 21,217 votes for Biden/Harris versus, 34.0% or 11,579 votes for Trump/Pence.
The #1 choice among all Kauaʻi voters for County Council, was Mason Chock.
The final ranking for the Kauaʻi County Council:
Mason K. Chock 18,592
Luke A. Evslin 17,368
Arryl Kaneshiro 16,550
Bernard Carvalho Jr. 16,345
Billy DeCosta 14,516
Felicia Cowden 14,388
KipuKai Kualii 13,960
Out of the running at #8 was Addison Bulosan with 11,735 votes, which while definitely a respectable showing, was over 2,000 votes shy of the coveted #7 slot. As is quite often the case, those candidates who finished in the top 7 during the primary election, also went on to win in the general.
It looks like the selection of the Council Chair may already be a done deal. While the selection of the next Council Chair officially occurs during the first formal meeting of the new Council on December 1, a recent news report indicates the decision has at least tentatively, already been made.
Interesting but not unusual that it appears the votes have all been lined by before the Council meeting, and before the public has had an opportunity to weigh in on the matter.
According to the report, the present Council Chair Arryl Kaneshiro and Councilmember Mason Chock are both seeking the Chairmanship, and apparently, Kaneshiro has secured commitments for the four votes needed, his own vote plus three additional votes.
The Council has scheduled a meeting to discuss the election of the Chair and other matters for TODAY at 9am Wednesday, November 18th. Testimony may be submitted to email@example.com A complete agenda is here: https://www.kauai.gov/Portals/0/Council/Agenda/council/2020-11-18_Council-ElectAgenda.pdf?ver=2020-11-12-160849-967
Councilmember Chock has for many years been without question “the people’s choice” consistently gaining more votes island-wide than any other Councilmember. He is a trained facilitator, a small business owner, and a certified leadership trainer.
The present Council Chair Arryl Kaneshiro is an executive with Grove Farm Land Company, who is arguably the most influential land-owner in Kauai County. Kaneshiro has pledged to refrain from voting on any matter before the Council that directly impacts his employer.
One example of their different perspectives would be Bill 2775. Councilmember Chock was a sponsor of Bill 2775 banning the use and sale of polystyrene food and drink containers. Council Chair Arryl Kaneshiro opposed the measure and along with Councilmember Kagawa voted “no.” The measure ultimately passed into law with a 4 to 2 vote, making Kauaʻi the very last County in the state to pass such a ban.
The bottom line as to who ultimately becomes the Council Chair is whoever can get four votes. Word on the street has it that the initial vote count was equally divided with Kaneshiro and Chock both having 3 votes (including their own). Incoming Councilmember Billy DeCosta is now apparently positioned as the “swing vote” that effectively decides which of the two will be the next Chair of the Council.
If the news report is accurate, DeCosta has apparently decided to throw his support to Kaneshiro and block Chock’s quest to lead the Council.
The ink on the 2020 campaign brochure is barely dry, and yet upon this crucial first vote of the Council, the 2022 campaign begins. Welcome to politics, elections, and long memories.
Years ago, at the conclusion of one of my own long and hard-fought campaigns, I said to my young daughter who was about 12 years old at the time, “Kelli-Rose, aren’t you glad that the campaign is over?” Without missing a beat she responded, “Are you kidding Dad? It’s never over.”


Somewhere amid the mud and rain of Costa Rica’s 2-1 World Cup Qualifying win in Panama last week the Ticos found their groove. Atop the drenched grasses of Rommel Fernández Stadium in Panama City, which was awash in an ugly downpour that never abated, Costa Rica’s men’s national team drew up a beautiful mixture of selfless play and aggressive ball movement that has lifted it into consideration as an overwhelming favorite to land one of CONCACAF‘s three automatic World Cup berths for Russia 2018.
A few days after playing an uninspired match in a 1-0 win against regional doormat Haiti, a Costa Rica team playing with half of its regular starters out with injuries surprised bitter rival Panama to take sole ownership of Group B of the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying with six points. If “La Sele” hangs on to win the group, it will then advance to the final six, known as the “Hexagonal,” to fight for a spot in the top three and receive qualification.
It’s easy to see that Costa Rica is playing its best football in some time, following a recent 11-month winless streak that ended in September with new coach Óscar Ramírez‘s second game, a 1-0 win over Uruguay. But what had been harder to visualize up until the surprising win over Panama was how Ramírez would define this selection’s style going forward. Under Jorge Luís Pinto, who engineered Costa Rica’s historic result in the 2014 World Cup, La Sele was a defensive labyrinth that relied on suffocating opposing teams’ best offensive threats and lulling them into offsides penalties.
Under Ramírez, a similarly defensive-minded scheme calls for five defenders to be behind a 2-2-1 rotation – with the one being a lone striker that tries to force as many breakaway opportunities as possible. Marco Ureña, who lined up as the striker against Panama, scored on one such breakaway after receiving a pinpoint pass from Ronald Matarrita.
Under Ramírez, who is now 4-2 as Costa Rica’s manager, players say their coach maintains an obsessive control over strategy but translates it to both starters and reserves in a way that maximizes the strengths of any player who has to fill in. So even with all of Costa Rica’s missing pieces sidelined, the wheel has still been able to turn without interruption.
“Each player has assumed their own responsibility and everyone understands the strategy,” veteran defender Júnior Díaz told the daily La Nación. “He communicates with players so that they’re on the same page and everyone understands their function.”
Whereas Pinto was notorious for being brash and disliked by many of his players, Ramírez has so far been a dream for Costa Rican Football Federation (FEDEFUTBOL) officials who were looking for both a competent tactician and a likable ambassador after Paulo Wanchope’s dismal, winless 2015 campaign ended with a brawl. There’s plenty of reason for optimism when it comes to the future of Costa Rican football as it looks to be on track to qualify for a second straight World Cup.
Ramírez has found a supporting cast he can rely on
In a way, the mounting list of injuries has acted as a silver lining for Ramírez. While he has never had a full roster to work with during his short tenure thus far, Ramírez has been able to assume the mad scientist role and play around freely with different combinations that can fit his five-back lineup. There has been no better addition to this team than defender Ronald Matarrita, the 21-year-old who played under Ramírez when he coached at Alajuelense in Costa Rica’s First Division.
The young star, who actually plays in the midfield for his club, has transitioned beautifully while sliding to left back in Ramírez’s scheme. Already he’s been Costa Rica’s greatest defensive presence in the two qualifying games, while also being an igniter for the offense, as shown by his assist to Ureña against Panama. Matarrita has proven in just six games for La Sele that he deserves a starting role in each qualifying game going forward, even when this roster is fully healthy.
“Matarrita has responded in an incredible way,” Ramírez said. “He’s an exceptional player and shows it with his composure on the field.”
Next to Matarrita on the back line, 27-year-old Major League Soccer star Kendall Waston made just his fourth ever cap for La Sele in Panama. Though Waston is more than serviceable on defense, the 6′ 5″ player who was a finalist for the MLS Defender of the Year Award could actually make his biggest mark on offense for a team in desperate need of height.
Against Panama, Waston made his presence felt in front of the net from the opening minutes, when he nearly fired home a header off a corner kick but was denied on a great save by opposing goalie Jaime Penedo. In the second half, it was Waston who spurred along Costa Rica’s first goal. Watch below as Waston, #19, keeps the ball alive by using his thick body to overpower defenders and soar above them to win possession and set up Bryan Ruíz’s 65th minute goal:
Though Waston may not keep a starting job when players like Óscar Duarte and Bryan Oviedo come back from injury, he should be a key bench player that Ramírez can count on. On top of Matarrita and Waston, Ramírez has plucked out other relatively unknown commodities like 30-year-old midfielder Óscar Granados, who filled in admirably for Celso Borges for a game and a half after Borges broke his foot against Haiti. Granados was constantly attacking and applying pressure to Panama, highlighting just how many hidden gems Ramírez has been able to find and plug in to any position on the field.
“Today showed that the selection isn’t just 17 or 18 players and that Óscar can keep looking for options,” said FEDEFUTBOL President Rodolfo Villalobos after the win over Panama.
La Sele still has an experienced core to build around
After slaying football giants like Italy and Uruguay at the 2014 World Cup, Costa Rica proved it could play with and beat anyone on the planet. While silencing some of the game’s best talents like Wayne Rooney, Andrea Pirlo, and Edinson Cavani, a crop of Tico stars ascended to become well-known names themselves. Bryan Ruíz, Keylor Navas, and Celso Borges will all be north of 30 years old by the time the 2018 World Cup kicks off, but the trio that carried Costa Rica to glory in Brazil should all have enough left in the tank to make another run at the elimination stages.
Next to La Sele’s three most important pieces is a younger, but equally experienced group that includes the likes of striker Joel Campbell (23), midfielder Yeltsin Tejeda (23), and defender Cristian Gamboa (26). Add in fellow World Cup veterans Duarte and Ureña and La Sele has a clear core of players to revolve around on its path to Russia.
Ramírez’s most challenging task ahead may be finding a reliable forward that can team with Campbell and Ureña to put added pressure on opposing defenses. One of the likely candidates to fill that goal-scoring void should be 22-year-old Saprissa star David Ramírez, who scored three goals under Pinto and Wanchope but has yet to suit up for Ramírez’s selections. The forward is a bull dog on the pitch who has the necessary speed and balance to give Ramírez a consistent threat on offense. The coach may also turn to another young player like John Jairo Ruíz, who is expected to fill out as a more complete player before 2018.
No matter who Ramírez selects for upcoming World Cup qualifiers, he has the clear luxury of having one of the most experienced and game-ready rosters in the region, next to Mexico.
Costa Rica poised to loom large over weak CONCACAF
In terms of competition in the region, half of CONCACAF’s World Cup qualifiers from last year are plummeting downwards and require a lot of work before they’ll be able to qualify for 2018. The United States, which has historically been a shoe-in to take one of the region’s qualifying bids, faces a multitude of question marks, most of which are directed towards coach Jurgen Klinsmann. The man who led native Germany to third place in the 2006 World Cup could very well be out of a job by 2016 as the U.S. continues to look passive and lifeless against decent competition. A fourth place finish in July’s Gold Cup marred by consecutive losses to Jamaica and Panama proved that the U.S. is no longer the region’s top dog.
Another of the region’s qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup was Honduras, which has now turned into an absolute mess. There was a fair amount of hope that the squad would improve after Pinto – who looked like a genius after leading Costa Rica to the quarterfinals in Brazil – took over for the nearby Central American country. But Pinto’s squad suffered two straight losses – to Canada and Mexico – to begin qualifying play and sit in last place of the group that also includes a weak El Salvador team. Pinto has clearly struggled to run his system in Honduras’ empty talent pool, and much like Klinsmann, could be fired from his post well before the next World Cup begins.
Besides Mexico and Costa Rica – the two teams that currently look like good bets to make the World Cup – other serious contenders for a qualifying spot include Panama and Trinidad and Tobago. Panama, which is still searching for its first World Cup berth, did not muster up much optimism for breaking into the world’s biggest tournament when it couldn’t beat an undermanned Costa Rican team at home. Still, it has a solid block of talent that should propel it through Group B and onto the Hexagonal stage.
But while riding a three-game win streak and holding experience from last year’s run that could give Costa Rica an extra advantage in close games, it’s the Ticos who at this point seem to be penciled into a qualifying spot for CONCACAF.
Panama coach Hernán Gómez said after last week’s qualifier loss to Costa Rica that the Ticos are still the class of CONCACAF.
Said Gómez: “We didn’t lose to just some middling team – we lost to the best team in the region.”


Summer is here and with it comes the long-awaited holidays. Do you have plans? Where are you planning to visit this year? Whatever your answer, today we want to take a closer look at the perfect complement, and no, we’re not here to tell you about the wonders of a comfortable backpack or all-terrain footwear for travelling the world. We are talking about nothing more and nothing less than the concept of Smart tourism. Have you ever heard of it? We’ll tell you all the details.
To talk about this term is to talk about a solution that allows the user to be connected at all times thanks to technology and through which they can consult information about their destination, before, during and after their trip.
In short, an initiative that, in addition to facilitating tour planning, favours sustainable, ecological and attractive tourism, helping the digital evolution of the sector by transforming the experience and offering tourists a new way of travelling and experiencing leisure and culture.
Benefits of sustainable tourism in smart cities
And now that we have defined what smart tourism is all about, we ask ourselves: Is it only the smart tourist who benefits from this model or are there other day-to-day advantages that this concept can offer to the inhabitants of smart cities? Of course there are, for example, thanks to the use of information and communication technologies it is possible to carry out predictions of tourist behaviour, to guide their experience during visits and also to combat the tourist overcrowding that many cities experience.
But not only that, there are other benefits: have you ever arrived in a city and on the way to the place you wanted to visit, and by chance, you discovered a street or a building that you had not planned on the route, that almost nobody knew about and that caught your attention even more than what you had originally planned to see? This is precisely another of the objectives of sustainable tourism: to promote little-known locations in order to give them visibility and relieve congestion in other parts of the territory and, to a large extent, to improve the quality of life of the citizens who live there on a regular basis.
And there are more advantages: Have you ever thought about the number of sensors scattered throughout cities? On the road and on the pavements to analyse the density of traffic and pedestrian traffic, to measure air pollution, electricity, gas or water consumption, to warn drivers of free parking spaces, or even to detect possible breakdowns in urban services in time. All of them are not placed arbitrarily, as you have seen, they respond to an objective, and in most cases, this is to improve the environmental management of the resources that make up municipalities and cities.
What is the impact of ICTs on tourism today?
As we can see, the importance of ICTs in tourism is fundamental. Thanks to them, the cultural enrichment and heritage of a city can reach, without distinction, any user, with accessibility being one of the keys to smart tourism, in the case, for example, of people with visual difficulties or reduced mobility, with adapted access or interpretative panels with relief and Braille.
Likewise, and in addition to sustainability, which we have already mentioned a few lines above through the efficient management of urban resources, another essential feature is mobile connectivity, and no, it is not just about having access to a WiFi network to access.
We are talking about applications that facilitate circulation and movement around the city, to obtain precise, accurate and up-to-date information on the different monumental attractions, alerts that inform the user of the opening and closing times of a place, or if it is not operational at that moment, or QR codes that, when scanned, allow access to transport maps, hospitals, police, weather information, restaurants, hotels, museums or any other point of interest.
Alcaudete Castle, an example of cultural tourism in a smart city
There are more and more examples of Smart Tourism Destinations (ITD) all over the world, and one of them is, precisely, the Castle of Alcaudete, in Jaén.
Did you know that thanks to the Smart tourism concept and from anywhere in the world it is possible to visit this fortress built by the Arabs and first taken by the Christians in 1085 during the reign of Alfonso VI? And we’ll tell you more, as it is currently open to the public and has an Interpretation Centre on the life of the Military Order of Calatrava.
All through a simple, intuitive and interactive digital platform that allows you to visit this and other strategic enclaves of the municipality where Fisotec is located.
How do yo apply ICT and data inventory to tourism?
But how does Fisotec carry out this initiative? After years of effort and work in the area of Geographic Information Systems, we saw in this concept an opportunity to bring these types of urban inventory closer to citizens and visitors in the context of a sustainable and attractive tourism.
This is how, thanks to our Smart City Tourism platform, we created 3D virtual tours, using technologies such as our 360º multi-lens camera.
An initiative that aims to be a prelude at home, to soak up the culture and heritage before being face to face with unique buildings and surprising tourist sites, and being part of a unique and real experience capable of involving all five senses.

Let’s cut straight to the chase: you already know how important the best moments compilations are for getting more people to watch sporting events.
To stay on top of the media world, you are now looking for an effective way to make highlight reels of the most memorable dunks, home runs, touchdowns, and goals.
But it is not that simple. Let’s discuss the problems you might encounter when cutting highlights from sporting events — and how you can use Cognitive Mill™ to fix them.
You can’t make sports highlights reels quickly enough
In the modern media world, the speed of content distribution plays as big of a role as the content quality itself. You just can’t be on top of the news if you are slow.
Since everyone and their mom has a smartphone now, media companies have to compete against regular sports fans who can record the high drama moment by just pointing their phone at the TV.
And that clip can go viral well before you get your hands on the game footage.
Compared to the earlier days, when sports companies had dedicated editors who cut the whole game into short clips manually, you can now use automated sports highlights makers to do that much quicker.
Cognitive Mill™ is very effective in that regard — it applies Artificial Intelligence algorithms to the footage to identify the most important moments of the game, cut them, and then edit them into a highlight compilation. The whole process is performed automatically, so you do not need any human assistance.
With Cognitive Mill™, the compilation will be ready in minutes after the game, giving you the chance to share the clip on social media before the players can even hit the showers.
Would you like to discuss the article?
In addition to that, the speed of the tool allows you to handle large volumes of video content — Cognitive Mill™ offers scalable cloud infrastructure running on multiple clouds. This way, you can have it working with thousands of video minutes per day and not lose in terms of processing speed or accuracy — which is always handy during the busy sporting season.
Your automated sports highlights generator misses important shots
So you have a sports highlights reels maker of your choice all set up and running.
It pulls the footage and cuts the most important moments of the sporting events: the best dunks, player conflicts, fan reactions, hilarious mascot dances, and so on.
But then you come across a shot from social media or on television that you haven't seen in the highlights reel that you got.
Upon reviewing the game footage, you find out that the tool you use has missed some of the more high drama moments.
With the modern news cycles, it is essential to capture those moments accurately to appeal to your audience. If you fail to do so — someone else won’t.
To combat that with Cognitive Mill™, we apply scene-level analysis to figure out what moments of the game are the most memorable and thrilling.
The thing is that most of the other sports highlights reels makers have a certain way they detect the scenes to cut: they can use object recognition to catch the change of in-game score or analyze the audio to hear the audience cheering.
And those approaches pose a serious problem in terms of flexibility:
- There are some sports with less vocal audiences, and also many games are held with no audience at all due to the health-related limitations;
- Apart from goals and touchdowns, there is a ton of stuff happening on the field that can interest the audience: players can have some back-and-forth with a referee, or the coach may go nuts after his team is crushed by the opponent.
In that case, the sports highlights generation tool may miss memorable parts of the event.
We do not rely on simple recognition techniques to catch a highlight: our human-like learning process understands the context without the external data to identify the most decisive moments of a sporting event.
Cognitive Mill™ possesses the level of visual understanding that allows it to decompose the game and capture each highlight accurately. The tool carefully analyzes the game dynamics, the level of excitement, and imitates the human perception of the event to not miss the best in-game moments.
You can’t customize your sports highlights maker
You set up the automated sports highlights reels generator to streamline the sports footage processing and make it more effective in terms of scale and speed.
And then you realize that you still have to dedicate additional resources to make sure that the tool correctly processes tricky footage, and then manually edit the clips to share them on social media or air them on television.
So, some of the highlight reels tools are not flexible enough to fit within your video production workflow, and in this case, you have to come up with workarounds to make the whole thing somewhat manageable. For example, rely on additional video editing software for sports highlights reels.
Cognitive Mill™ offers a way to make the production as seamless as possible.
To start off, we integrate the tool into your pipeline through the API. There is no wonky UI to deal with, no timelines, no confusing settings — you just set the highlight generator up and have it deliver the most accurate results in minutes.
Try the solution out for yourself!
The absence of a user interface does not necessarily mean that you can’t configure Cognitive Mill™. It offers the ability to edit the highlights that it cuts from the game footage so you get the best result for your content strategy.
Here are some of the parameters that you can set:
- The type of highlight: high drama moments, goals, or on-field conflicts;
- The length of the video clip;
- Other types of compilations: Cognitive Mill™ divides the game into semantically finished parts so you could get a compilation of anything important happening in the game. So you can generate videos like a game summary or the mascot dance compilation.
But you do not have to spend the time to configure the algorithm itself — Cognitive Mill™ perfectly understands the context of the footage, so it can accurately cut the highlights from such dynamic sports as hockey or football, and more hasteless ones like golf.
You spend too much money on AI highlights generation
Despite having set up an automated sports highlights generation tool, you still have to spend money on top of that to further manage the content that you get.
After you get your highlights cut from the game footage, you have a human editor take those clips and edit them into the compilation, add the graphics and then have a social media person share them everywhere.
Even though the sports highlights reels are generated automatically, you still have a ton of work to do by yourself: as soon as the sporting season begins, you will definitely find yourself overwhelmed with large volumes of videos from various events.
Change the way you make content.
But there is a solution that can augment your sports content generation to a much greater degree by automating more tasks.
СognitiveReelz™ is a part of a CognitiveMill™ cloud platform that imitates the way humans think while analyzing video content.
Apart from cutting the highlights of basketball, hockey, or football matches, you can also use the platform to automatically:
- Crop the footage from landscape to portrait aspect ratio for a better viewing experience on mobile;
- Share the clips on whatever social media platform you choose;
- Detect moving graphic overlays to choose sports replays, ads, show openings etc;
- Apply nudity detection to filter the parts of the video that might be inappropriate.
With all of those tasks performed without human participation whatsoever, you will be able to drastically slash the costs of your video production while remaining highly effective at delivering quality content to your audience.
Get your sports highlights reels generation under control
A successful content strategy is a good balance of speed and quality: if you take too long to deliver top-notch content, you won’t get far. On the other hand, no one will watch the bad content even if it is delivered quickly.
It is essential to provide the audience with the most memorable moments of a particular sporting event as quickly as possible. Dunks, fights, press conference quotes — all of that content can not only keep the audience glued to their TVs, but also encourage them to share it on social media, therefore expanding your reach.
To do that, you need a sports highlights maker that correctly identifies the clips worth sharing and edits them into a compilation ready for distribution on social media or news updates.
In that case, Cognitive Mill™ has you covered. It needs no external data to operate: thanks to the human-like level of visual understanding, the sports highlights reels generation is accurate and fast.
Moreover, you can take advantage of other tools provided by the CognitiveMill™ cloud platform: crop the footage for the mobile screen, add graphics to the clips, and share them on social media automatically.
Cognitive Mill™ is easily scaled over any volume of video content you are working with — so you can be sure that none of the clips get lost during the most heated of events.

US nurse defies Ebola quarantine with bike ride; negotiations fail
CAPE ELIZABETH, Maine - Reuters
Nurse Kaci Hickox, right, and her boyfriend, Ted Wilbur are followed by a Maine State Trooper as they ride bikes on a trail near their home in Fort Kent, Maine, Thursday, Oct. 30, 2014. AP PhotoA nurse who treated Ebola patients in Sierra Leone but has tested negative for the virus went for a bike ride on Oct. 30, defying Maine's order that she be quarantined in her home and setting up a legal collision with Governor Paul LePage.
Attorneys for Kaci Hickox, 33, said they had not yet been served with a court order to enforce the 21-day quarantine - matching the virus's maximum incubation period - but remained prepared to fight such an order if necessary.
LePage's office said negotiations with Hickox, who worked with Doctors Without Borders in Sierra Leone, "have failed despite repeated efforts by state officials" and that he would "exercise the full extent of his authority allowable by law."
The quarantine showdown between Hickox and Maine has become the focal point of a struggle between several U.S. states opting for stringent measures to guard against Ebola and a federal government wary of discouraging potential medical volunteers.
Mandatory quarantines ordered by some U.S. states on doctors and nurses returning from West Africa's Ebola outbreak are creating a "chilling effect" on Doctors Without Borders operations there, the humanitarian group said on Thursday.
A California-based nurses union said it was organizing strikes and other protests against what it views as insufficient protection for nurses caring for patients stricken with the deadly virus.
Hickox left her home in the small Maine town of Fort Kent, along the Canadian border, and television news images showed her taking a morning bicycle ride with her boyfriend, Ted Wilbur. Hickox has given the New England state a deadline of Thursday to lift an order that she remain at home until Nov. 10, or she will go to court.
"It's a beautiful day for a bike ride," said Hickox, wearing a helmet and other bike gear as she headed out for her 3-mile (5-km) ride while police stationed outside her house stood by without trying to stop her, according to local media.
LePage's office said he was open to an arrangement in which she could go for walks, runs or bike rides but not go into public places or come within 3 feet (1 meter) of other people.
"I was ready and willing - and remain ready and willing - to reasonably address the needs of healthcare workers meeting guidelines to assure the public health is protected," said LePage, a Republican locked in a tough three-way re-election battle.
President Barack Obama, who has criticized mandatory quarantine policies imposed by some states for returning medical workers like Hickox, flew to Maine on Thursday to campaign in the town of Cape Elizabeth for Democratic candidates, including Mike Michaud, who is trying to unseat LePage in Tuesday's midterm elections. He did not address the Ebola issue in public remarks at a voter rally.
One of Hickox's attorneys, Norman Siegel, defended his client's decision to go for a bike ride but noted that she avoided the center of town so as not to "freak people out."
"Since there's no court order, she can be out in public," Siegel said. "Even if people disagree with her position, I would hope they respect the fact that she's taking into account the fear, which is based on misinformation about the way the disease is transmitted."
Medical professionals say Ebola is difficult to catch and is spread through direct contact with bodily fluids from an infected person and is not transmitted by asymptomatic people. Ebola is not airborne.
U.S. concern about the disease is high even though there is only one person in the country currently being treated for it, a New York doctor, Craig Spencer, who cared for patients in West Africa. Spencer, 33, remains in serious but stable condition, New York's Bellevue Hospital said on Thursday.
Hickox tested negative for Ebola after returning from Sierra Leone, one of the three impoverished countries at the heart of the outbreak that has killed about 5,000 people there.
She previously blasted New Jersey Governor Chris Christie after she was taken from Newark's airport and put in isolation in a tent before being driven to Maine to spend the rest of her 21-day quarantine at home.
Such treatment of returning medics is affecting those still in West Africa, said Sophie Delaunay, executive director of Doctors Without Borders in the United States.
"There is rising anxiety and confusion among MSF staff members in the field over what they may face when they return home upon completion of their assignments in West Africa," said Delaunay in a statement emailed to Reuters. Doctors Without Borders is also known by its French name, Mdecins Sans Frontires, or MSF.
New York's tough guidelines are also affecting diplomats. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power returned to New York on Thursday after a brief visit to West Africa and must report her temperature twice daily to the New York state health department for the next 20 days.
Elsewhere, there were happier outcomes for people caught in the crossfire in the battle against Ebola.
A 7-year-old girl banned from attending school in Connecticut over fears that she may be carrying the virus after a trip to Nigeria will be allowed back on Friday, according to a joint statement by the school district and the girl's father, who had filed a lawsuit to get the ban lifted.
Dallas nurse Nina Pham, who recovered from an Ebola infection, will be reunited with 1-year-old King Charles Spaniel on Saturday after testing indicated the pet was free of Ebola, a spokeswoman for the city of Dallas said.
With elections coming Tuesday, Republicans aiming to take full control of the U.S. Congress have made criticism of Obama's response to Ebola - which they call inept and too weak - a part of their campaign message.
Some U.S. states have imposed automatic, 21-day quarantines on doctors and nurses returning from treating Ebola patients in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. Obama and other critics say such steps may discourage American doctors and nurses who are desperately needed there from volunteering.
Confusion over how to treat potential Ebola carriers in the United States is mirrored across the Americas, according to a meeting of health experts in Havana, Cuba, on Thursday.
"Everyone agrees they must be watched. How that is done is up to each country," said Jorge Perez, director of Cuba's Pedro Kouri Tropical Medicine Institute. "Every country is sovereign and can adopt the measures they want."
New York City and state officials on Thursday announced a program to encourage healthcare professionals to work in West Africa, an effort to deflect criticism of the state's mandatory quarantine.
The program will provide financial incentives and employment protections similar to the benefits and rights provided to military reservists, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said jointly.

|"Well, I think we should put it back in order for them, don't you?"|
Creaothceann originated in Scotland, and was regarded as the most dangerous of all broom games. Creaothceann players were equipped with a broomstick and wore a cauldron strapped to their head. At the start of the game - signified by the sounding of a horn or drum - a hundred rocks and boulders that had been charmed to float a hundred feet above the ground began falling to the ground. The players then zoomed around the field, trying to catch as many rocks in their cauldrons as possible.
The name derived from the Scottish Gaelic words creoth ceann, which translated to Wounded Head.
The game was considered to be a test of manliness and courage for Scottish wizards and witches, and enjoyed popularity in the Middle Ages, despite the many fatalities that resulted from playing it - according to a twelfth-century ballad, it was considered standard for only two out of the twelve players to survive a game:
"The players assemble, twelve fine, hearty men,
They strapped on their cauldrons, stood poised to fly,
At the sound of the horn they were swiftly airborne,
But ten of their number were fated to die."
Though it was banned, it was still played illegally.
