Minister of European Integration Jadranka Joksimović has stated today that the Adriatic-Ionian Macro-strategy is vital for Serbia and other members from Western Balkans and that it represents one of the supporting formats of the Western Balkans’ approximation to the European Union and of the European integration process itself.
Together with Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dačić, Minister Joksimović has co-chaired and hosted the ministerial meeting of the EU Strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian Region (EUSAIR), while she has also participated in the AII Council meeting.
She has emphasised the importance of and commitment to the goals of the Strategy, particularly in the post-pandemic period, bearing in mind that potential projects supported through this Strategy can significantly mitigate the effects of the pandemic on the economies and societies of all members, be they full EU member states or countries in the EU accession process.
As the National IPA Coordinator, Joksimović has particularly stressed the fact that joint planning and coordinated financing through such initiatives are necessary for a sustainable and accelerated development of the region.
What may be an additional incentive and connection is the announced Economic and Investment Package for the region, which the EC will present in autumn and which will include projects related to trans-national networks in the area of energy, transport, digitisation, Green Agenda and sustainable tourism, according to Joksimović.
She has added that this is also an opportunity to jointly identify projects through the Adriatic and Ionian Strategy, which will contribute to economic connectivity to the benefit of the region and primarily the citizens.
Joksimović has underlined that today’s meeting was also dedicated to reaching an agreement regarding the content of the ministerial declaration aimed at steering the implementation of the Strategy for the following one-year period.
The Declaration points to the importance of employing further efforts to minimise the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare systems and citizens’ health, along with restoring social and economic flows in the Adriatic-Ionian region. Furthermore, it particularly underlines the need to include the Strategy’s priorities in the process of EU funds planning for the following seven-year budget period, not only in the WB region but also in EU member states.
To top off the chairmanship, in addition to the ministerial meeting, the fifth plenary forum of the Strategy was planned to be organised in Belgrade, which was supposed to host more than 500 participants from all countries of the region.
Given that, due to the pandemic, it was impossible to organise said forum in the planned period in Belgrade, Joksimović has expressed hope that Serbia will hold the Forum by the end of the year, with the support of the European Commission and Slovenia that is taking over the chairmanship on 1 June.
Ministers of the Adriatic-Ionian countries and representatives of the European Commission have analysed concrete results of Serbia’s one-year chairmanship of this Initiative.
Given that it is located in the hinterland of the Adriatic and Ionian coasts, Serbia has in the past year dedicated special attention to regional connectivity with regard to transport and energy, and has promoted a more intensive youth cooperation and common cultural heritage that makes this region an attractive tourist destination.
To recall, the members of the Adriatic and Ionian Initiative are: Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Albania and San Marino.

Through crusades and expulsions, Muslim communities survived for over 500 years, thriving in medieval Europe. This comprehensive new study explores how the presence of Islamic minorities transformed Europe in everything from architecture to cooking, literature to science, and served as a stimulus for Christian society to define itself. Combining a series of regional studies, Catlos compares the varied experiences of Muslims across Iberia, southern Italy, the Crusader Kingdoms and Hungary to examine those ideologies that informed their experiences, their place in society and their sense of themselves as Muslims. This is a pioneering new narrative of the history of medieval and early modern Europe from the perspective of Islamic minorities; one which is not, as we might first assume, driven by ideology, isolation and decline, but instead one in which successful communities persisted because they remained actively integrated within the larger Christian and Jewish societies in which they lived.

text: The effects of a novel agent that is reported to selectively block Ca2+ influx by Na+/Ca2+ exchange (NCX), KB-R7943, on the reoxygenation-induced arrhythmias and the recovery of developed tension after reoxygenation, were investigated in guinea pig papillary muscles. KB-R7943 dose-dependently suppressed the contracture tension during low-sodium (21.9 mM) perfusion (23+/-8% of steady-state developed tension at 10 microM vs. 56+/-11% in control; n = 6, p<0.05), but did not change action potential and contractile parameters. During the reoxygenation period after 60-min substrate-free hypoxia, KB-R7943 (10 microM) significantly decreased the incidence of arrhythmias (44 vs. 100% in control; n = 9, p <0.05) and shortened the duration of arrhythmias (16+/-11 vs. 72+/-14 s; p<0.01). KB-R7943 (10 microM) significantly enhanced the recovery of developed tension after reoxygenation (83+/-4 vs. 69+/-3% in control; p<0.05). We conclude that KB-R7943 (10 microM) selectively inhibits the reverse mode of NCX, and that it attenuates reoxygenation-induced arrhythmic activity and prevents contractile dysfunction in guinea pig papillary muscles. These results suggest that Ca2+ influx by NCX may play a key role in reoxygenation injury.

absolutely love your images
buna ziua. am gasit acest link pe pagina dvs de facebook si am inceput sa rasfoiesc sectiunea de news. este absolut incredibil continutul acestei sectiuni. imaginile dvs pur si simplu vorbesc, nu au nevoie de text, nu au nevoie de explicatii suplimentare, sunt fabuloase!!!!
p.s. voi reitera si completa comentariul anterior, tine cumva de ego poate si de faptul ca anumite lucruri pur si simplu trebuie enuntate: Romania nu este pregatita pentru asemenea artisti! pornind de la Constantin Brancusi, Mircea Eliade, Emil Cioran si lista ar putea continua cu Adrian Ghenie, Victor Man, Andrei Cadere, Victor Brauner etc, toti plecati in diverse colturi ale lumii, cu precadere la Paris sau Berlin. oare de ce? cand vom aprecia si noi romanii, valorile pe care le avem si nu le vom mai “exporta” altora ?!?!! probabil niciodata…

Shining a Light on India’s Maritime History: The Inaugural Lighthouse Festival in Goa
28th September 2023
Overview: Lighthouse Festival in Goa
In a splendid celebration of India’s rich maritime heritage and a nod to its historical past, the country’s first-ever Lighthouse Festival kicked off with grandeur in the picturesque state of Goa. This unique event, organized by the Ministry of Tourism in collaboration with various state agencies and tourism stakeholders, shines a spotlight on 75 historical lighthouses that are set to be transformed into major tourist attractions.
A Beacon of History and Culture
The Lighthouse Festival, inaugurated by the Honorable Minister of Tourism, Ms. Priya Sharma, promises to be a month-long extravaganza filled with activities, exhibitions, and cultural showcases, all centered around Goa’s captivating coastline. The event aims to promote tourism, create awareness about India’s maritime heritage, and highlight the importance of lighthouses as historical landmarks.
“Lighthouses have long been silent sentinels guarding our coasts, and today, we honor them by bringing their history to life. India’s maritime history is as rich and diverse as our culture, and through this festival, we hope to showcase our coastal heritage to the world,” said Ms. Sharma during her inaugural speech.
Historical Transformation: From Guardians to Tourist Destinations
The festival’s main highlight is the unveiling of plans to develop 75 lighthouses across the country into major tourist destinations. These lighthouses, some dating back centuries, will be restored and repurposed, offering visitors a unique blend of history, culture, and scenic beauty.
One such lighthouse set for transformation is the iconic Aguada Lighthouse, located in North Goa. Built in the 17th century, it stands as a testament to Goa’s Portuguese colonial history and offers breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea. It will soon be home to a maritime museum, showcasing artifacts and stories from India’s seafaring past.
The decision to redevelop these lighthouses is part of the government’s ongoing efforts to diversify the tourism landscape and promote lesser-known historical sites. By doing so, it not only creates more tourist attractions but also preserves these historical structures for future generations.
A Month-Long Extravaganza
The Lighthouse Festival has something for everyone, from history enthusiasts to beach lovers. The festival will feature:
Historical Tours: Guided tours of lighthouses, where visitors can learn about their history, architecture, and role in maritime navigation.
Cultural Performances: Traditional music, dance, and art exhibitions showcasing the rich cultural tapestry of coastal India.
Adventure Sports: Water sports, including jet skiing, parasailing, and snorkeling, to showcase the region’s recreational potential.
Food and Craft Stalls: A variety of local cuisine and crafts on display, allowing tourists to savor the flavors of Goa.
Workshops: Educational programs on maritime history and environmental conservation.
Photo Exhibitions: A collection of photographs capturing the scenic beauty and cultural diversity along India’s coastline.
Boosting Tourism and Local Economies
The festival is expected to give a significant boost to Goa’s tourism industry, which has been recovering from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The influx of tourists is not only expected to create jobs but also stimulate the local economy.
Local businesses, such as hotels, restaurants, and souvenir shops, have already reported an increase in bookings and sales since the festival’s announcement. The extended tourism season that the festival brings will provide a much-needed source of income for many Goans.
Preserving Maritime Heritage
India’s lighthouses have played a crucial role in ensuring the safety of maritime activities along its vast coastline. The festival not only celebrates their historical significance but also underscores the importance of preserving these structures.
To ensure the preservation of these lighthouses, the government has allocated funds for their restoration and maintenance. Heritage conservationists and architects have been engaged to ensure that the redevelopment maintains the historical integrity of these structures while making them accessible to tourists.
The Lighthouse Festival has garnered international attention, with travel enthusiasts and historians from around the world expressing interest in attending. The event is expected to not only attract domestic tourists but also showcase India’s rich maritime heritage to a global audience.
In a world increasingly focused on sustainability and responsible tourism, the festival also emphasizes the need for coastal conservation and responsible tourism practices. Efforts are being made to minimize the environmental impact of the festival, such as waste reduction and responsible tourism guidelines.
A Glimpse into the Future
As the Lighthouse Festival unfolds in Goa, it represents more than just a celebration of India’s maritime heritage—it offers a glimpse into the country’s future as a diverse and vibrant tourist destination. By transforming historical lighthouses into major tourist attractions, India is not only preserving its past but also opening doors to a promising future in tourism.
As tourists from around the world gather to explore the picturesque Goan coastline and learn about India’s rich maritime history, the Lighthouse Festival marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the nation’s tourism industry and its cultural heritage.
The India Lighthouse Festival, a month-long celebration in Goa, is not only a tribute to the nation’s maritime heritage but also a forward-looking initiative to promote tourism and preserve historical landmarks. With the spotlight on the transformation of 75 historical lighthouses into major tourist attractions, the festival promises to bring new life to these silent sentinels while boosting the local economy and showcasing India’s rich coastal culture to the world. As the festival unfolds, it serves as a beacon of hope and opportunity for both tourists and the preservation of India’s maritime heritage.

DAVID SHRIGLEY'S REDESIGNED LONDON UNDERGROUND MAP
Good design is often little more than a comforting lie. The lasting success of one of the most iconic maps ever, Henry Beck's London Underground Map was only there to proof it. On the designer as an illusionist.
Even to laymen the Tube map which Henry Charles Beck (1902 – 1974) designed for the London Underground almost a century ago hardly needs any further introduction. Although Beck created it in his spare time and uncommissioned, while working as an engineering draftsman at the London Underground Signals Office, and despite of the fact that it was only hesitantly introduced by his employer in 1932, it became an instant success, and is essentially still in use today. It's influence can also hardly be underestimated, and it is still recognized across the globe as one of the most iconic maps ever created.
Beck based the map on the circuit diagrams he drew for his day job, stripping the sprawling Tube network down to basics. The result was an instantly clear and comprehensible chart, as simple as it was imaginative and stunning. In the years before, the London Underground had already issued maps on which all the stations, contrary to reality, were more or less equally spaced - toying with the idea that passengers riding the trains were not too bothered about the geographical accuracy, but were more interested in how to get from one station to another, and where to change. But Beck radicalized this idea, with a diagram that looked more like an electrical schematic than a true map drawing. And he also introduced the idea of creating a system that would fully exploit the symbolism of colors.
with a diagram that looked more like an electrical schematic than a true map drawing
introducing the idea of creating a system that would fully exploit the symbolism of colors
The rest is history: when Beck first submitted his idea London Underground felt initially sceptical of his proposal Only after a successful trial production of 500 copies in 1932, it was given its first full publication in 1933 (700,000 copies). The reaction of the customers was after only one month a large reprint was required. Beck's map became THE essential guide to London, to such a degree even that it obliterated any other vision on the city. Polls still show that most Londoners think of the River Thames as straight, and Waterloo station as being south of the Houses of Parliament, while in fact reality it is the opposite. Beck's revolutionary design, with certain modifications and additions, survives to the present day and, although updated several times since, the core is still there. It also became a template for transport maps the world over.Its success was clear proof that what is considered to be good design doesn't depend on the way it succeeds in reflecting reality accurately, but on the contrary, distorts the real, and serves this comforting lie and illusion convincingly.
All this must also have played at the back of David Shrigley's mind when he created his own version of the map in 2005. Commissioned under the auspices of the Transport For London’s Platform for Art initiative, as the third in a series of artworks that celebrated and re-interpreted Beck’s map, the internationally acclaimed British artist created an abstract tangle, made up of the same colored lines used on the Tube map itself, but serving them up as a simple chaotic scribble and a big plate of spaghetti. In this bright, anarchic and humorous interpretation Shrigley subverted the reassuring order of the Underground map and turned it into a wriggling, teeming fiesta, echoing the absurd confusion of one of his comic characters when confronted by an extensive travel network- stressing the already abstract character of Beck's map by taking it one step further until it did not relate to anything. While the original masterpiece of information design could be safely found on the reverse, its chaos much more closely portrayed what it felt like to use the London Tube in 2005, Shrigley said: a daunting esoteric experience. More artists have created their own version of Beck's map since then, while Shrigley also did some other work for the London Underground, but none of these pieces left such a lasting impression. (mb)

Determining Ion Activity Coefficients in Ion-Exchange Membranes with Machine Learning and Molecular Dynamics Simulations
HKG Dona and T Olayiwola and LA Briceno-Mena and CG Arges and R Kumar and JA Romagnoli, INDUSTRIAL & ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY RESEARCH, 62, 9533-9548 (2023).
The activity coefficients of ions in polymeric ion- exchangemembranes(IEMs) dictate the equilibrium partitioning coefficient of the ionsbetween the membrane and the liquid. It also affects ion transportprocesses, such as conductivity, in ion-exchange membranes. Accuratelypredicting the ion activity coefficient without experimental datahas been elusive as most models are empirical or semi-empirical. Thiswork employs an embedding process that maps microscopic and macroscopicproperties for modeling of ion activity coefficients in IEMs withmolecular dynamics (MD) and machine learning (ML). This strategy iseffective for accurately predicting activity coefficients in variousIEM materials, including random copolymer and block copolymer systems.ML algorithms are increasingly being used for the analysis of complexsystems when limited knowledge is available. The framework uses smallexperimental activity coefficient datasets in conjunction with polymerstructure information and molecular attributes describing the solvationof ions and polymers to predict the ion activity coefficient in IEMs.Two different ML models were developed to estimate the molecular attributesand the ion activity coefficient. The best ML model accurately predictsthe solvation descriptors and ion activity coefficient with an averagemean absolute error of <7 and 10%, respectively. Adopting the saidapproach allows for the estimation of ion activity coefficients inIEMs without the need for new time-consuming MD simulation runs andexperiments.

Jim Butcher (born in Independence, Missouri, United States, on October 26, 1971) is a New York Times Best Selling author most known for his contemporary fantasy book series The Dresden Files. He also writes the Codex Alera series. Butcher grew up as the only son of his parents, and has two older sisters. He currently lives in Independence with his wife, Shannon K. Butcher (an author of romance novels), one son, and his guard dog, Frostbite Doomreaver MacBane Butcher.
While he was sick with strep throat as a child, Butcher's sisters introduced him to The Lord of the Rings and The Han Solo Adventures novels to pass the time, thus beginning his fascination with fantasy and science fiction. As a teenager, he completed his first novel and set out to become a writer. After many unsuccessful attempts to enter the traditional fantasy genre (he cites J. R. R. Tolkien, Lloyd Alexander, and C.S. Lewis, among others, as major influences), he wrote the first book in The Dresden Files...about a professional wizard in modern-day Chicago...as an exercise for a writing course in 1996 at the age of 25.
For two years, Butcher floated his manuscript amongst various publishers before hitting the convention circuit to make contacts in the industry. After meeting Butcher in person, Ricia Mainhardt, the agent who discovered Laurell K. Hamilton, agreed to represent him, kick-starting his writing career. However, Butcher and Mainhardt have since parted ways; Jennifer Jackson is his current agent. Since becoming published, Butcher has written two series: The Dresden Files and Codex Alera. Codex Alera has ended after six novels and The Dresden Files are still ongoing; he has also written a Spider-Man novel, entitled The Darkest Hours, released on June 27, 2006. In addition, he contributed a short story for publication in My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding with Charlaine Harris and Sherrilyn Kenyon, among others, released in October 2006. He has since contributed to the anthologies Many Bloody Returns in September 2007 and My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon in December 2007. In October 2008, he released another short story in Blood Lite and a novelette, Backup, illustrated by Mike Mignola.
The Dresden Files series
Six months after Butcher was signed by Mainhardt, Storm Front, the first novel in The Dresden Files, was picked up by ROC for publishing. It was released as a paperback in April 2000. Fool Moon followed nine months later on January 1, 2001, and the third book, Grave Peril, appeared on store shelves in September of that year. Thereafter, the release schedule slowed, with Summer Knight appearing on September 3, 2002. The fifth and sixth books, Death Masks and Blood Rites, appeared in August 2003 and 2004, respectively. Coinciding with the release of Blood Rites, Butcher published a Harry Dresden short story, entitled Restoration of Faith, on his website, chronicling Harry's life before The Dresden Files as a private eye for Ragged Angel Investigations. In December 2004, the Science Fiction Book Club picked up the first three novels in the series for release in a hardcover omnibus edition entitled Wizard for Hire for a March—April 2005 rush release in order to arrive on store shelves before the seventh novel in May.
Dead Beat, released on May 3, 2005, was the first hardback release in the series by ROC. Unprecedented demand led the initial run of 15,000 copies to sell through to stores in just three days, and the book immediately went into a second printing to prevent supply problems. A second omnibus edition, called Wizard by Trade and containing Summer Knight and Death Masks, appeared in early 2006, followed by Proven Guilty on May 2, 2006, the same day as the paperback edition of Dead Beat. Proven Guilty quickly climbed to #21 on the New York Times Best Seller List and #91 on the USA Today list. A third omnibus release from the Science Fiction Book Club entitled Wizard at Large and containing Blood Rites and Dead Beat was released in November 2006.
A ninth book from ROC, White Night, was released on April 3, 2007, following closely on the heels of a February paperback release for Proven Guilty. White Night reached the top five of the New York Times Best Seller List on an initial run of 100,000 copies. Small Favor, the tenth book in the series, was released April 1, 2008. It debuted at number two on the New York Times Best Seller List, Butcher's highest debut ever, and number three on the USA TODAY best seller list.The eleventh book in the series, "Turn Coat", was released April 7, 2009.The 12th book in the series, "Changes," was released April 6, 2010.The series garners a strong following and is now available in several languages, including Russian, Spanish, French, Czech, Polish, German and Mandarin Chinese
The Dresden Files in other media
Audiobooks and game
Due to the popularity of The Dresden Files, Buzzy Media Publishing has released the first four novels as audiobooks in both audio and MP3 CD formats. They are voiced by actor James Marsters. Storm Front was released in July 2002 as an unabridged 8-CD set, with an unabridged 9-CD set of Fool Moon following in August 2003. The Grave Peril audiobook shipped as an unabridged 10-CD set on October 28, 2004, with a free t-shirt bundled with all purchases before December 26, 2004. Summer Knight was released March 31, 2007. All four have since been released in MP3-CD format with fewer discs.
Buzzy Multimedia announced in November 2007 that Penguin Audio had purchased the audio rights to the remaining Dresden Files novels, and the tenth novel, Small Favor, would be next in line for audio treatment. The audio book was released simultaneously with the hardcover April 1, 2008. Jim-Butcher.com reports that Penguin Audio intends to produce and release the remaining novels as soon as James Marsters' schedule allows.
On December 16, 2004 Butcher also inked a deal with Evil Hat Productions to release a role-playing game based on The Dresden Files. The game uses a modified ruleset from Evil Hat's acclaimed Fate RPG.
Television writer and producer Morgan Gendel optioned The Dresden Files in June 2003, paving the way for a film or television release of the series. On April 5, 2004, Sci Fi announced production of a two-hour backdoor pilot film of The Dresden Files based on the events of Storm Front in conjunction with Lions Gate Television and Saturn Films, with Nicolas Cage and Norm Golightly set to executive produce. Gendel was listed to write and executive produce the television series, along with Anthony Peckham. Initially, Harry Dresden was listed as "Erik" Dresden, but by the end of 2004 the name had been canned in early drafts of the pilot in favor of Harry.
On October 5, 2005, Variety reported that the television project had been officially greenlit by Sci Fi, with Hans Beimler and Robert Wolfe coming onboard as executive producers with Cage, Golightly, and Gendel. Production of the pilot took place in Toronto, and the original intent was to air the pilot movie in the summer of 2006. In November, the Sci Fi Wire released casting details for the series, with Paul Blackthorne cast as Harry Dresden over James Marsters, who turned down the opportunity to audition because he was unwilling to relocate from Los Angeles. In May 2006, Sci Fi announced an initial purchase of eleven episodes of The Dresden Files and a January 2007 premiere of the two-hour pilot movie. However, the two-hour pilot was not shown, and the show premiered on January 21, 2007 with the episode Birds of a Feather, originally intended to be the third episode. The show garnered mixed reviews
After the season one finale aired on April 15, 2007, fans began a letter campaign in an attempt to have the show renewed. Sci Fi decided not to continue production on the Dresden Files the following August.
The Codex Alera series
After the success of Dresden, Butcher returned to the traditional fantasy genre with his second series, Codex Alera. The series chronicles the life of a young man named Tavi from the Calderon Valley of Alera on the world of Carna. The people of Alera have grown complacent with the trappings of empire (the story is based loosely on the late Roman Empire) and their control of powerful elemental forces known as furies. On March 3, 2003, Jim Butcher announced that Ace won a bidding war against rival publisher Del Rey Books for the rights to the series.
The first novel in the series, Furies of Calderon, was published in hardcover by Ace, and in August 2004, major booksellers began taking pre-orders for an October 5, 2004 release. Furies of Calderon was the first hardcover release for Butcher, and was a significant step forward in transitioning from a part-time to a full-time writer. A paperback version followed in June, 2005, just a month before the release of the second book, Academ's Fury. It was released in paperback on November 28, 2006, with the third novel, Cursor's Fury, following on December 5.
While originally intended to be a six-book series, Codex Alera was initially signed as a trilogy. After the series showed success, Roc agreed to publish three more novels in the Codex Alera series. The fourth novel, Captain's Fury, released December 4, 2007 and peaked at #17 on the New York Times Best Seller List. The fifth novel, Princeps' Fury, was released November 25, 2008 and peaked at #13 on the New York Times Best Seller List. The sixth and final novel, First Lord's Fury, was released on November 24, 2009 and has reached #7 on the New York Times Best Seller List.
Audio rights to the Codex Alera belong to Penguin Audio. Captain's Fury was released in audio format March 27, 2008, read by Kate Reading. Audio versions of the first three books were released in November, 2008. The audio book of Princeps' Fury was released simultaneously with the hardcover.

Seen greatly when Uncle Juniors puts out a head on him, because of the stupid rumor that he likes getting a BJ. Tony knows that Junior is pissed at him and his methods of earning for the family, yet Tony does it any way. Which is why I found the hit on Tony’s life justifiable, since he didn’t put any value in their relationship so why did Junior need to keep him within the family. But what gets me is this selfless persona that Tony takes on during the second season. It see so undermining of his character as a sociopathic predator.
The settings of a family which has a negative effect on family and boys. Mainly what the characters are inclined to do against each other, the dysfunctional family life and the one parent family. The story has increased my knowledge about gangs and the impact on boys, that positivity of one person is better than the adversity of a gang. The author Scott Monk message to boys is being in a gang, especially a criminal gang is a futile, it is informative in regards that boys can do positive things in their life, that the need to turn their back on gangs and violence. Another aspect is that fighting amongst each gang is fostering a criminal environment.
While the plot of Black Swan Green principally depicts a male protagonist, Jason, and his development despite pressures imposed by other male antagonists (Wilcox, Mr. Nixon, his father, etc…), it is the female characters in the novel that inspire Jason to resolve his conflicted image. In the era of this novel, and even now (though depublicized by gender equality movements), the development of boys was considered to be radically different than that of young woman. Boys were supposed act cool around bullies(Ross) and older cousins(Hugo), play violent social games and smoke. Unfortunately for Jason, his “Inside-You”, the person that he really is, does not align itself with these socially acceptable practices. Instead, he elects to write poetry,
This encourages the rest of the boys to become hunters since they too want to feel the sense of power that Jack appears to have. This quote shows that after a certain amount of time humans began to change and reveal their “true” selves. Jack begins to portray a darker character who enjoys destroying those around him. This change from being an uptight choir boy to a savage demonstrates that men are inherently evil since no one taught Jack to act this way. Instead he is the one who is encouraging those around to become more like him.
In this scene it is evident that Prospero suffered from both psychological and physical violence bestowed upon him by his brother Antonio. Evidently Antonio’s wish was to have Prospero and his daughter killed however they were saved by Gonzalo a trustful councilor who set them up for a prosperous life on the island. It becomes clear that the violence in this play caused by Prospero was brought upon him and is therefore influenced by his brother’s treatment towards him, again we see that the need for power overpowers the love between the two brothers and later leads to a series of psychological torture for other
Alan 's achievement leaves both people around him and the audience astonished, making them appreciative of the intellect despite possibly unlikeable character. However, Alan 's concealed homosexuality was viewed upon as crime in the mid 20th century and became cornered to lose his uniqueness as an individual. Through the transformation of Alan, audience realizes that discrimination was so strong that not even stopping the world war could change the society 's views. By analyzing the history, literature teaches the audience valuable lessons for their future in society.
She has an inferiority complex and loath herself. However being the masochist that she is, she takes pleasure from being insulted by her sister who is acting as the Mistress(When Claire was insulting her, She replied “I’m starting. I’m starting to fly” Because those insults would heighten the fantasy of revenge for the mistress to be even sweeter. However in real life, her sadistic nature was curb as she could not kill the mistress just as they planned. When all of their plan failed (to poison the mistress) She escapes her reality by imagining herself as a great criminal, because by being a criminal she can be free from servitude.
Thus Tony proposes his idea of a “man box” which shows how men believe they should act, examples include: “Do not be ‘like a woman’, View women as Property/Objects, Demonstrate power-control, and aggression/Dominance.” In addition, Tony provides his own experience as a father and his enlightenment of where men obtain these rash qualities — from our fathers. Thus starting at a young age we are taught how to “be a man” however, this root of manhood is exaggerated and society is to blame. Tony Porter also gives his testimony about when he was twelve years old and how he was pressured into “being a man” by having sex with a woman who was incapable of understanding that she was being raped, fortunately, Tony did not copulate with her but acted as if he did so. In the end, our society must change to fit everyone's needs without forcing others to abide by the distorted expectations that damage our self-being and others around
As a young child, Okonkwo would tell his sons stories of violence, and to stop the beatings he would receive for sharing his thoughts on them, Nwoye pretended to enjoy them. “And so he feigned that he no longer cared for women’s stories. And when he did this he saw that his father was pleased, and no longer rebuked him or beat him” (Chapter 7, P 4). The wrath of his father and gender roles in the society he was growing up in pushed him to be someone he was
Young men in patriarchal societies encouraged to act in ways so that societal norms remain intact. In war zones when home and life are under threat and invaded upon, these norms get further strengthened. Young men are supposed to act out their masculinities by resisting the military invasion. The expectation to uphold the gender roles becomes far more demanding in war zones. In the context of the novel The Collaborator we see how often the narrator feels ashamed of himself as all his friends join the Jehad against India leaving him alone.
The method used to induct Mann into a violent world will spark as much controversy among readers as it does among characters in the book, but in the end, Man (who fares better than his friend Kee-lee) does learn some important lessons that go beyond survival. There is a gradual yet notable change in his morality as he searches his soul to find what kind of man he
Even a small, kind, innocent human being thinks that Kony is a bad guy; hence, he must be a very bad guy. Viewers can then make a decision that Kony should definitely be arrested and in order to achieve this, they need to get involved. This appeal also captures attention of parents because Jason Russell’s son might remind them of the children. This drivers them into taking actions even more. To sum up, appeals are used in order to motivate people to become involved, however a combination of appeals strengthens the message significantly.

The Unitarian Universalist Service Committee advances human rights through grassroots collaborations.
Partner Profile: The Bright Educators of Delmas
May 2, 2014
Have you planted your garden yet? If your answer is yes, a growing number of families in Port-au-Prince, the capital city of Haiti, are proud to say the same. This is the fruit of UUSC’s partnership with the Bright Educators of Delmas (known as GEAD, their Haitian acronym), a group of young change makers dedicated to food security and food sovereignty.
GEAD is led by four young adults who are true community organizers and share a vision of strong and healthy communities rooted in connection and unity. Danielle Neus, GEAD’s spokesperson, shares their motto: “We are all one, we remain one, and we will die one.”
Working together with UUSC and the Papaye Peasant Movement, a UUSC partner in rural Haiti, GEAD first embarked on their mission to bring healthy homegrown food — and the recycled container gardens to grow it — into Port-au-Prince in 2012. Their urban agriculture pilot project brought gardens to 48 families in the Delmas neighborhood. Five container gardens — grown safely in recycled tires — can feed a family of four for a year, and five more can yield extra income from selling produce. GEAD Coordinator Emmanuel Exuma explained to UUSC: “GEAD’s dream is to see the majority of people in Port-au-Prince have the possibility of not buying vegetables in the market. They could just go pick the vegetables in their garden.”
More than just delivering materials, GEAD’s project offered families vital training on organic farming methods, continuing support in the process, and a deeper connection to their food. “Their dream is to fill the bellies of everyone in Port-au-Prince — but not just that,” explains Wendy Flick, UUSC’s senior program leader for Haiti. “They want people to feel ownership and control over what they fill their bellies with. So it’s both: it’s not just food security; it’s also food sovereignty. A mother can know that she’s feeding her child a carrot that was not grown with pesticides, wasn’t trucked in from the Dominican Republic. She knows what was put into it, because she grew it herself.”
When the GEAD pilot project started, there was only a trickle of families signing up. But when plants started coming up and word started spreading, interest skyrocketed. “The demand went from zero to off the charts,” Flick recalls. To meet growing demand and continued need, UUSC is currently working with GEAD on the following:
- Developing urban agriculture training for additional 100 urban families
- Pursuing land for an urban training center with secure storage, compost production, and model gardens
- Exploring further partnerships in the city to support trainings and expansion of the project
GEAD’s leadership has determination and drive that are hard to match. For her part, Danielle Neus is now working on a four-year agronomy degree and will continue to be involved in the project as she pursues her studies. Flick describes the group and their work: “They’re really community animators. They have that enthusiasm. The word animation — bringing something to life — is really apt. They have a momentum and energy behind all their work. They dream big, but they have energy and ideas to make that concrete.” Neus’s take? “The dream is becoming a reality, but we have much to do.”
Want to help GEAD’s dreams become more of a reality?

A family of five was found dead in an apparent murder-suicide at a home in southeast Orlando on Tuesday afternoon, police said.
Officers were called to the house for a welfare check around 1:00 p.m. and found the bodies of three adults and two children after entering the house.
Their identities were not immediately released, as the police informed the next of kin.
Justin Rossilini, a neighbor who lives across the street from the two-story house, told the Orlando Sentinel that the family was an adult son and two little girls, about 6 and 7 years old.
“I’ve had the last two days off. We’ve been home. I haven’t heard anything,” he told the local newspaper, noting that the family had just moved in a few months ago.
A large police presence was seen in the Lake Nona Region neighborhood.
Police did not immediately release a cause of death or what led to the murder-suicide.
This story is about suicide. If you or someone you know has suicidal thoughts, contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

NASA announced June 5 that it awarded a contract to Northrop Grumman to begin work on a habitation module for the lunar Gateway, nearly a year after the agency announced its intent to sole-source that module to the company.
NASA is making several changes to its plans to return humans to the surface of the moon by 2024, including launching the first two elements of the lunar Gateway together and adding a critical demonstration to the first crewed Orion flight.
NASA released a report April 2 outlining its long-term approach to lunar exploration that involves establishing a “base camp” at the south pole of the moon, but with few details about cost and schedule.
NASA announced March 27 it has selected SpaceX to provide cargo transportation services for the agency’s planned lunar Gateway.
A revised plan for returning astronauts to the surface of the moon by 2024 will no longer rely on the use of a lunar Gateway, although NASA’s human spaceflight head says the agency is still committed to eventually developing it.
NASA announced March 12 it will fly two heliophysics and space weather experiments on the lunar Gateway to collect data to help future human missions to the moon and beyond.
A top NASA official said Feb. 28 he expects the first flight of the Space Launch System to take place in the second half of 2021, a later date than prior agency statements.
NASA awarded a contract to Rocket Lab Feb. 14 for the launch of a cubesat mission that will serve as a precursor for the agency’s planned lunar Gateway.
A former NASA associate administrator for exploration argues that the lunar Gateway should be deferred if NASA is serious about achieving the White House goal of landing humans on the moon by 2024.
As Japan prepares to join NASA’s Artemis lunar program, the country’s largest rocket manufacturer says it could upgrade the H3 rocket debuting next year to deliver cargo to the moon as soon as 2025.
Members of a NASA safety panel praised the agency for moving ahead quickly with aspects of its Artemis program to return humans to the moon, but warned about perceptions of a leadership vacuum for that effort.
NASA has quietly decided to give Northrop Grumman a contract to build a “minimal” habitation module for its lunar Gateway after concluding it was the only company that could meet NASA’s schedule.

Background: Health workers get sick annually because of the characteristics and routine of their work and the peculiarity of dealing with the pain of others. Being sensitive and predisposed to care for the other suffering, involves empathy and compassion. Continuous and prolonged exposure to this labor context can generate stress and exhaustion of the professional, due to prolonged affectation with the pain and suffering of others, which can cause fatigue through compassion. Objective: to reflect about compassion fatigue in the context of health. Methodology: bibliographic review. Results and discussion: Health professionals present a commitment that moves them to relieve and intervene in the pain of the other. When the care is lived exhaustively and chronically, with the excessive use of compassion, it can directly affect the health of the worker, interfering in their quality of life and in the execution of their work, leading to fatigue by compassion. Final considerations: Fatigue of compassion can impact psychologically on health professionals and the ability to tolerate pain and suffering of the patient, interfering negatively in their work. Therefore, it is necessary that more research be developed in the different fields of professional work in health, aiming to stimulate reflections and actions focused on the quality of life of these professionals
INTRODUCTION: Chronic pain can be considered a pathology and not just a symptom, which negatively influences people’s quality of life, causing a decrease in autonomy, isolation and impact on social life. In this context, considering the pain related to chronic health problems, it can be stated that Primary Care represents a strategic service due to its high capillarity and potential to identify health needs of the population, supporting the organization of care throughout the healthcare network. health services. OBJECTIVE: To discuss the role of primary care in the management of patients with chronic pain. METHOD: This is a descriptive study of qualitative approach, conducted through literature review. DISCUSSION: Social determinants can be considered to strongly impact the prevalence of chronic diseases as well as their reflexes such as pain. Social inequalities, differences in access to goods and services, low education, and inequalities in access to information generally determine a higher prevalence of chronic diseases and diseases resulting from the evolution of these diseases. In this context, Primary Care plays a fundamental role as it represents a high capillarity strategic service. CONCLUSION: Primary Care has great potential to identify the health needs of the population, supporting the organization of care throughout the health services network, contributing to factors that negatively impact the health of the population causing pain and psychological distress.
LORBOR PAIN IN CANE CUTTERS: THE CONTRIBUTION OF ERGONOMICS IN HEALTH EDUCATION ABOUT PREVENTION: EXPERIENCE REPORT
Objective: To identify the understandings of sugarcane workers on the contribution of ergonom-ics in the prevention of low back pain. Understanding that knowledge of issues pertinent to this field is fundamental, members of Uninassau’s academic health and safety union have held talks with sugarcane cutters. Results: These professionals seek in the cane cut a way to support their families. We believe in the potential of each sugarcane cutter that participated in an active and collaborative way during the activities. Starting from the qualitative and descriptive approach of this experience report, we find methodological subsidies in oral history, as a way of listening and dialoguing with the subjects during the conversational wheels. Considering the purpose of the study, several lines were observed during the wheels. Conclusion: They indicate that although cane cutters understand ergonomics as a relevant element in the prevention of postural con-straints and consequently the prevention of pain in the lumbar before, during or after their work activities, their understandings about the working environment in the cut do not seem to have any impact in consolidating a broader and more critical formation.
BENEFITS OF LUDIC ACTIVITIES IN MODIFICATION OF PAINFUL FEELING OF CHILDREN WITH CANCER IN HOSPITAL INSULATION UNITS
Introduction: In relation to the negative impacts of pain on the quality of life of the child with cancer, they tend to represent an environment of frustration, fear and anxiety, and this should identify and stimulate the use of effective strategies, since distraction, presence family members and playful activity help to minimize these painful sensations as well as social issues as the child leaves home and friends and moves inward for a period of time, so it is of great relevance for the care of children with cancer, not only invasive treatments but also dynamic strategies that rescue the child’s joy and the stimulation of living. Objective: To relate the benefits of playful activity in the treatment of children with hospitalized cancer, and the reduction of pain sensation. Methodology: This is a bibliographical review of the integrative type. Result: The distraction that play activities bring besides being defined as one of the intrinsic characteristics of playing can also be an important auxiliary tool in coping with acute painful situations, and helps in recovery. Conclusion: In this way, it is of fundamental importance to the use of play activities, because even with all the difficulties of hospitalization, the child tends to have a good recovery behind the realization of these dynamic practices as well as develop abilities throughout their treatment.
Ergonomics as an Intervention of Health Education in the Prevention of Lumbar Pain and The Legs in the Trucks of the Gasoline Posts of BR 101 Alagoas
Objective: To describe ergonomics as a health education intervention through members of the UniNassau multidisciplinary academic leagues and students of the Nursing, Nutrition, Medicine, Physical Education and Physiotherapy courses at UFAL / UFPE in the prevention of low back pain in truck drivers of gasoline in BR 101 Alagoas. Results: This is a descriptive study, an experience report, with activities carried out with BR 101 Alagoas truck drivers. Intervention activities included guidelines on RSI, DORT, Workplace Gymnastics, Relaxation, Stretching, Postures, Cognitive Ergonomics as Stress in the Direction during Transit and Cargo Burglaries. The approaches by means of conversation wheels, counted on the measurement of the arterial pressure, verification of anthropometric measurements and evaluation of body mass index, as well as, practical demonstrations of health care, such as workout gymnastics and relaxation. Conclusion: It was evidenced that the health education activities through the Ergonomics to the truck drivers incorporated the characteristics of intervention directed to the reality of the target public, as an active subject of the process of care to improve the quality of work life.
Background: Oral mucositis is an inflammatory toxic reaction of the oral mucosa due to exposure to chemotherapeutic agents or ionizing radiation, being one of the most frequent side effects of antineoplastic treatment. It is found in almost 100% of patients submitted to radiotherapy in the head and neck region and can cause dysphagia and infection by opportunistic microorganisms. It is considered the most common cause of oral pain in these patients. This pain can reach significant levels, compromise nutrition, and even lead to treatment modification or discontinuation. Objective: to describe the efficiency of low level laser therapy in the control of pain and oral mucositis. Methods: case report and literature review contextualized to the proposed theme. Results: J.A.P, male, 56 years old, fisherman. Diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma (AP nº 173864) in posterior wall of oropharynx. The recommended antineoplastic treatment involved surgery with chemotherapy (CDDP weekly) and adjuvant radiotherapy. The patient was being submitted to radiotherapy with 180 cGy / day. At the 11th week of therapy, he developed severe pain and difficulty feeding and was referred to the Dentistry Oncoly Center service of the Oswaldo Cruz University Hospital. On intraoral examination was verified the presence of ulcerations on the back of the tongue, buccal floor and right and left jugal mucosa, characterizing oral mucositis grade III, according to the classification of the World Health Organization. And in the Numerical Pain Scale the patient listed the number 8. The antineoplastic radiation therapy was temporarily suspended. The Standard Operational Protocol for Oral Care (POP-Oral) of the service was instituted and the use of low-level laser (Laser Duo MMO) with the wavelength of 660nm, power of 35mW. In the second session of photodynamic therapy, the patient already reported improvement in food acceptance, and listed number 5 in the Numerical Pain Scale. Photodynamic…
“No pain no gain” still is one of the most widely used inspiring quote. With that spirit, chronic pain sufferers should find heaven on earth at some point of life. However, chronic pain is a widespread and complex set of conditions that are often difficult and expensive to treat. The Institute of Medicine (US) estimated that chronic pain affects over 100 million Americans  and is associated with $874 billion in healthcare costs annually . Of this, close to 10% ($78 billion) is associated with the economic burden of prescription opioid overdose, abuse and dependency . Pain increases depression 3-5-fold [4-6] and 50–90% of chronic pain patients report insomnia that warrants clinical attention [7-10]. Conventional pain killers are usually associated with a variety of adverse side effects, such as constipation, urinary retention, nausea, sedation, respiratory depression, low platelet count, sexual dysfunction and hyperalgesia [11-14]. Pain affects more than 65% cancer patients , distressing or intolerable in more than one‐third of patients . Although, WHO described opioids as essential medicines for pain control but distribution shows substantial inequity, 10% of the world’s population consuming more than 90% of the world’s supply , 80% opioids consumed by US alone [18-23]. Famous celebrities like Bruce Lee, Chris Penn, Elvis Presley, Heath Ledger, Anna Nicole Smith died from opioid overdose. Also, some 85% of primary care physicians perceived their training in pain management to be inadequate in a Pan-European survey [24,25]. Along with these, fear of dependence, prescription diversion, regulatory scrutiny, withdrawal symptoms, opioid-related adverse events and deaths limit its use. Although, abuse and availability of medical cannabis are big issues, several studies support use of cannabis/marijuana in cancer pain management [26-36]. Its social acceptability is gradually increasing around the world , but many studies oppose it’s use or at least demand further investigation…
INTRODUCTION: Chronic pain can be considered a pathology and not just a symptom, which negatively influences people’s quality of life, leading to a decrease in autonomy, isolation and impact on social life. In this context, considering the pain related to chronic health problems, it can be affirmed that Basic Care represents a strategic service due to its high capillarity and potential to identify health needs of the population by subsidizing the organization of care throughout the network. health services. OBJECTIVE: To discuss the role of Primary Care in the management of patients with chronic pain. METHOD: This is a descriptive study of a qualitative approach, carried out through literature review. DISCUSSION: Social determinants can be considered to have a strong impact on the prevalence of chronic diseases as well as their reflexes, such as pain. Social inequalities, differences in access to goods and services, low level of schooling and inequalities in access to information generally determine a higher prevalence of chronic diseases and diseases caused by these diseases. In this context, Primary Care plays a fundamental role because it represents a strategic service with high capillarity. CONCLUSION: Primary care has great potential to identify the health needs of the population by subsidizing the organization of care throughout the health services network, contributing to factors that negatively impact the health of the population, causing pain and suffering.
Aristotle (4th century B.C.) described pain as emotion, being the opposite of pleasure. Whereas, Buddha stated “Pain is the outcome of sin”, as evidence that an individual was possessed by demons. In some religions it is the cost of attachment. Spiritual counseling thus may be more of a priority than medical management. Many non-physiologic factors (psychological, familial and societal attitudes, life stressors, and cultural or spiritual) contributing to the experience of and response to pain. Emotional stress such as anxiety and depression play a key role in experience of pain. Chronic pain is associated with increased levels of depressive symptoms, anxiety, and insomnia regardless of disability status. it has both modifiable factors (mental health, co-morbidities, smoking, alcohol, obesity, physical activity/exercise, sleep, nutrition, economic status and occupational) and non-modifiable factors (age, sex, cultural and socioeconomic background, history of trauma/ injury/ interpersonal violence, heritage). The relationship between increased BMI and chronic pain in adults seems intuitive and may be related, in part, to increased weight-bearing on joints, reduced physical activity and deconditioning. Patient with physical disabilities may have co-occurring chronic pain, but the prevalence and specific associated factors are unknown. Neuropathic pain (NeP) can be the result of a variety of conditions, including metabolic disease, infection, malignancy, trauma, medications, and toxins; estimates of 60% among those with chronic pain. Chronic pain affects 20% of the European population and is commoner in women, older people, and with relative deprivation. Its management in the community remains generally unsatisfactory, partly because of lack of evidence for effective interventions. Also, family and caregivers’ beliefs and attitudes towards pain, either positively and negatively to tolerate and express pain are important.

Set in the historic Camp Nou stadium, the eFootball 2022 teaser trailer opened with background chants and floodlights revealing a striking Unreal Engine recreation of Lionel Messi clothed in the famous blue and deep red colors of FC Barcelona.
This recreation of the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner surrounded by pitch lights invited more than a thousand comments on the YouTube post. Former Pro Evolution Soccer series faithfuls had waited almost two years for the next generation football game.
“Messi walking out on Unreal Engine looking really amazing had me buzzing,” eFootball commentator Stewart “Wezza” Wesley said.
However, three months into the game’s launch, euphoria has mostly been replaced with complaints of poor graphics, slow player movements, average responsiveness, a bad passing system and underpowered shooting (and these issues have undoubtedly been followed by memes). From one bug to another, in gameplay and graphics, eFootball 2022 became the worst rated game on Steam just a day after its release. As of the time of this writing, it is the second worst rated game of all time.
Very poor quality game, disappointing graphics for new generation, gameplay very low and with many problems, more than 2 years to deliver a product like this to their consumers. I hope they review the game, because this one is not able to play. https://t.co/SL4zQOMGid

Still in shock, many fans believed that Konami had mistakenly uploaded the game’s mobile version to other platforms.
“I just continued to tell myself that the real version for console will soon be out,” long time PES fan, Ezam John, said.
Pros stuck in limbo
After a disappointing launch and the promise of a new version of the game on Nov. 11, Konami postponed Version 1.0.0 until Spring 2022.
“It’s just like you’re about to open a door but you don’t know what’s behind it,” Greek eFootball player Lazaros “Laza” Semertzidis said. “Yes absolutely, we have a game to play. They do give us content and rewards. But, in terms of pro or competitive tournaments, we don’t know what to do. Should we continue to train, should we not?”
Laza has, in fact, continued to train with his national and PES Universe teammates, albeit without the certainty of knowing whether all that effort will pay off. This uncertainty has only been made worse by the silence from Konami on next steps for the new season.
“I’ve been talking to other pro players and they are all saying the same,” Arsenal’s Yos “INDOMINATOR” Sonneveld said. “Konami hasn’t really brought out the plan to the clubs when it comes to esports. The competitions usually start in December and, now, we have to wait until spring and don’t even know what version we have to play.”
The situation is even more complicated for players in the eFootball.Pro, a top 3v3 competition where players are signed to football clubs partnered with Konami. Here, some players are contractually bound to solely play eFootball competitively.
“Some players under contract for eFootball cannot play FIFA,” three-time world champion Walid “Usmakabyle” Teban said. “For the others, they are right to play something else because waiting months is a very long time in esports.”
Usmakabyle’s advice comes from experience, as he once played competitive FIFA from 2016 to 2018 for Dijon FC in the eLigue 1 and Neo eSports. However, he returned to PES in 2019 to win his third eFootball Open championship at the Emirates Stadium in London. Since then, he also won the eFootball.Pro competition twice with AS Monaco.
Additionally, a few players believe a move to a 1v1 format is on the horizon for the eFootball pro scene.
“AS Monaco let go of two players only keeping one. It looks like it might be a 1v1 composition,” INDOMINATOR said. “But everything is unclear. Terrible communication from Konami to their audience.”
There is also no clarification as to whether tournaments will continue to be held online as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
All eggs in one basket
The hopes of many eFootball players are tied to the incoming spring update, which could signify a rebirth of the game they’ve played since its International Superstar Soccer days and a return to the competitive stage.
“I think eFootball will have a good impact next year,” Lazza said. “I’m still excited to play the game, but there are a lot of questions. If it comes out in spring, will we have time to compete in tournaments? Will there be an esports year at all?”
The countdown to Spring has also raised players’ expectation because the Version 1.0.0 could bring about improvement to visuals, animations, AI defending and several gameplay glitches.
“If I were to describe eFootball in one word, it would be ‘expectation,’” Wezza said. “The game itself has been both written off and also kind of lauded over expectations.”
After player graphics and gameplay quickly became popular memes across various social media platforms, Lazza decided that 2022 would also be a time for Konami to prove the memers wrong.
“I’m not going to lie — it hurt me because it’s my childhood game,” Lazza said. “And for many players across the world, it is still our best game. It is my favorite game, but everyone can have an opinion and laugh.”
The update’s postponement has also put more pressure on Konami to deliver what it promised more than two years ago.
“I’m afraid if they bring out the same type of gameplay without any major changes,” INDOMINATOR said. “We have been waiting two years and now have to wait even longer. It’s hard to talk about.”
Failure to make major improvements in the game come spring 2022 could lead to a second wave of harsh criticism, as well as the loss of an already dwindling fan base on console. It could also see many top pro players hang up their controllers in search of a new challenge.
Despite the further delay of eFootball 2022, many players said they want to continue making memories while experiencing the unique football stadium events that eFootball esports has been known for throughout the years. Usmakabyle, for example, isn’t ready to call it quits.
“I remain committed to the game which has changed my life,” Usmakabyle said. “Winning the third World Cup in London symbolizes my career, and I want to still be competitive in 2022.”

The UCF Knights capped off an undefeated season with a 34-27 win over No. 7 Auburn in the Peach Bowl on New Years Day. Since that win, UCF has gone as far as to proclaim themselves the 2017 College Football National Champion, complete with a parade at Disney World and a proclamation from the Governor of the Sunshine State himself.
Sure, a lot of teams in college football have staked the claim as national champions despite losing their bowl games and finishing with more than one loss. For example, the NCAA officially recognizes Alabama as the 1964 national champion despite losing their bowl game to Texas. That same year, Arkansas finished No. 2 in the final polls with an 11-0 record and win over Nebraska in the Cotton Bowl. While UCF is the only FBS team to finish with a perfect record as well as a conference champion, we now live in an entirely different era of college football-an era where we don’t have to rely on media rankings, human error and computers to settle on a champion. We now have an actual national championship game which tonight will feature No. 3 Georgia and No. 4 Alabama at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
UCF isn’t the first mid-major program to attempt to convince the nation that they reign supreme in college football (although they’ve taken it to more extremes than the others). Utah (2004,2008), Boise State (2006), and TCU (2010) have all finished their respective seasons undefeated only to be left out of a national championship game. It is true that in the span of college football’s history, the blue bloods (Ohio State, Alabama, Notre Dame, Michigan, etc) and Power Five teams with one or two losses get the benefit of the doubt over smaller programs with equally impressive records. Still, maybe UCF should channel their energy towards joining a tougher conference instead of trying use all of their resources to claim something that isn’t really there’s to claim.
All of that being said, since this topic has sparked a ton of debate in the last week and half, I decided to make an argument for another team- Johnny Majors’ 1985 Tennessee Volunteers.
The 1985 team did not have an overly impressive record. Although they had nine wins, they tied twice-once vs No. 10 UCLA in Pasadena (26-26) to start the season, and again versus Georgia Tech at home (6-6). The Vols lone loss was on the road at the hands of No. 7 Florida, another team that was voted national champions by at least one NCAA-recognized poll at the end of the 1985 season.
While the two ties were a blight on Tennessee’s record, they managed to beat No. 1 Auburn and No. 15 Alabama as well as claim their first Southeastern Conference championship since 1969. This set up a New Years Day showdown between the 8th ranked Volunteers and No. 2 Miami in the Sugar Bowl.
Miami, who had just recently won their first national title in 1983, were riding a 10-game win streak after 35-23 loss to then-No.5 Florida to open the season. The Hurricanes had beaten Florida State, Notre Dame, and most importantly, 3rd ranked Oklahoma that season. All they had to do was defeat the SEC champion in the Sugar Bowl and hope that No. 1 Penn State fell to the Sooners in the Orange Bowl that same day to stake their claim as the 1985 national champions.
The Hurricanes were naturally the heavy favorites in the contest. Head Coach Jimmy Johnson, when making his argument to the media for why his team should be voted the recipients of the game’s highest honor, basically stated that his team should be the national champion if Penn State lost. In short, Tennessee wasn’t much of a threat to the seemingly invincible Hurricanes. The Miami team showed the same amount of disrespect when they shrugged off Tennessee’s captains at midfield for a pregame handshake.
Early on, it looked as if everyone outside of Knoxville was correct as to the outcome of the game. Miami quarterback Vinny Testaverde finished off the opening drive with a touchdown pass to Michael Irvin. Unfortunately for them, it would be only one of the few highlights that night.
The Hurricane’s quick start out of the gate didn’t intimidate the Vols. Quarterback Darryl Dickey led Tennessee to their first score in the 2nd quarter, a 6-yard touchdown toss to Jeff Smith to tie the game at 7. The defense forced a fumble that was recovered in the end zone to give Tennessee a 14-7 lead at the half. The game’s outcome was decided midway through the 3rd quarter, as Tennessee running back Jeff Powell went right up the middle for a 60-yard touchdown run to go ahead 28-7
Ironically, prior to kickoff, Testaverde said that the Tennessee defense would be ‘burned’ if they attempted to blitz all night. But blitz they did, as the Tennessee defense sacked Testaverde seven times and intercepted him three more, one of which put the exclamation point on Tennessee’s 35-7 route in the form of a Chris White interception returned for 68 yards to set up the Vols final touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Following the win, Head Coach Johnny Majors proclaimed “I’m not campaigning for the national championship, but I don’t think that there is a better football team in the country after the way we played tonight.”
The Vols would finish 4th in both major polls as Oklahoma defeated top ranked Penn State to claim the Orange Bowl and national championship with an 11-1 record.
Granted, Oklahoma has a pretty good claim to that 1985 national championship, but hey, if we used UCF’s logic of ‘beating the team that beat the national champion’, Tennessee should go ahead and hang an extra banner at Neyland this fall.

First Minister Paul Givan said: “This is a showcase sporting event on our doorstep, and there is a real sense of excitement and anticipation in Belfast. The world will be watching as Chelsea take on Villarreal at Windsor Park. Northern Ireland has proved it is more than capable of hosting big sporting occasions and I fully expect this to be another memorable evening as we welcome footballing superstars.”
Whether attending the match in person, watching in a pub or at home with friends, football fans are urged to pay heed to the latest Covid-19 advice and information.
Travelling fans have been reminded that the Covid regulations in Northern Ireland differ to those in the rest of the UK and Ireland. While the Executive is due to review restrictions on Thursday, the current rules will remain in place during the match on Wednesday evening.
With the virus still spreading, we would ask anyone arriving here for the game to be aware of the Coronavirus regulations that are still in place.
The use of face coverings is mandatory on public transport, in taxis, private buses, coaches and on aircraft, in train and bus stations and in airports unless an exemption applies.
The rule of six still applies in hospitality settings and up to 10 people from no more than three households can meet in a private home.
The latest regulations and guidance are available at: www.nidirect.gov.uk
The Executive continues to urge everyone eligible for the Covid-19 vaccine who has yet to get the jab to get themselves vaccinated as soon as possible.

Food Bank Donations
As a Christian community, it is our duty to look after those who need our help. Every year St Edmund’s has a charity focus and this year our appeal is to donate to local foodbanks at key times during the year.
The Trussel Group, a charity that runs foodbanks, has stated that the use of their foodbanks has increased in the last five years by 73% (913,138 people to 1,583,668 people). In the Greater London area alone, 166,512 people used their services last year, 59,775 being children.
To help make sure everyone has enough food throughout the year, we are asking families to donate at key times during the year. The Caritas website gives wonderful ideas for donations and a website to locate their nearest foodbank. Alternatively, you can donate directly to the Whitton Foodbank by using the donation box in Sainsbury’s on the High Street.
When you and your family do donate, please send a picture of the children, with the donations to firstname.lastname@example.org . These photos will go on our school ‘Making a Difference in the World’ display.
If we as a school community pull together, think of the difference that we can make. If you have any questions or need help with what to donate or where to take it, please speak to your child’s class teacher.
Thank you to the families who have already started their donations. There has been lots of positive conversations at the school gates.
