Latifiya has never fully accepted the end of Saddam Hussein’s rule. The predominantly Sunni town 40 km south of Baghdad was a key launching ground for the insurgency that began in 2004 and descended into a civil war. It was part of the ostentatiously named Triangle of Death that included the towns of Mahmudiya to the north and Yusufiya to the west.
In 2004, the insurgents here were not yet part of the growing al-Qaeda in Iraq network. They called themselves the Honourable Resistance, Saddam loyalists who lost their power and influence after the collapse of the regime following the U.S. invasion and the chaos it triggered. But in time, Latifiya would become a hotbed of al-Qaeda support, and during the expansion of ISIS across Iraq and Syria it would again shelter its fighters. Mahmudiya was first controlled by the Shia Mahdi Army, led by the anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, but eventually it also fell to al-Qaeda.
During my first visit here in 2004, I was captured by members of the Honourable Resistance, held for hours, questioned, threatened with death and, luckily, eventually released. In late April, both villages are again buzzing with activity, though now it’s not militancy that rules the streets but the routine bustle of everyday life. The rat-a-tat-tat of hammers hitting nails as the towns rebuild has replaced the gunfire that once terrified its residents. Still, the wounds from those years of hatred have yet to fully heal.
READ MORE: The last days of ISIS
Karim Kadhim remembers those days well. The 42-year-old principal at Ali al Wardi School recalls how, during the Saddam era, Sunni and Shia in Mahmudiya lived together in peace. But the U.S. invasion in 2003, he says, tore apart the social fabric. Shia in the town turned to the Mahdi Army for protection, while Sunnis turned to al-Qaeda.
Neighbours fought each other. “Terrorism is like a virus,” he says. “One person calls another person a terrorist. Then that person calls the other person a terrorist. Eventually, everyone is a terrorist to someone.”
At the graduation ceremony of his sixth graders, Kadhim points out that those same people who once pointed fingers at each other and called each other terrorists are now sitting together drinking tea again. He nods to an old man in a black and white kaffiyeh. “That is Sheikh Hikmat Kaven,” he says. “He supported al-Qaeda at that time.”
Kaven turns to Kadhim with a wry smile: “When they first came they said they were fighting in the name of God, and we believed them,” he says in his defence. “They said they were here to fight the Americans, so we helped them. But then they started fighting us, so we helped the Americans fight them.”
ISIS, Kaven adds, was a different kind of beast. Its brutality has been a wake-up call. “We were stupid back then, but now we’ve learned our lesson. These people do not care about us. They want power and they will kill whoever stands against them.”
The peace, however, remains precarious. The Shia militias, known as the Hashd al Shaabi, some with loyalties to Iran, now control Mahmudiya, as the Mahdi Army once did. And a terrifying but familiar force is lurking again: ISIS sleeper cells roam the fields around the town, with some sheikhs in the area rumoured to be working with them.
It wasn’t so long ago that U.S. President Donald Trump announced the “total defeat” of ISIS. Its death was touted as a major victory over the Salafi-jihadist project, and the end of the caliphate would take the steam out of the ideology behind it, proponents of this view boasted.
Only it hasn’t. The caliphate is gone but the hardened fighters are not. Its networks remain intact, its financing secure and its global appeal still startlingly effective. The Sri Lanka bombings—one of the worst terror attacks since 9/11—offered the terrifying evidence. Even its leader, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, once thought either dead or gravely injured, appeared in a video at the end of April looking plump and in charge.
Thousands of fighters who fled Syria after the fall of the caliphate have now fanned out throughout Syria and Iraq—like those once again patrolling the Triangle of Death—where sectarian divides, corruption and foreign meddling have created an ideal setting for an ISIS resurgence.
It’s in this dangerous void that Canada is now operating in Iraq, the lead country in a new NATO training mission made up of 470 troops from 22 nations tasked with preparing Iraqi security forces for a difficult fight.
Just over 200 soldiers, mostly from Quebec, have joined the more than 650 Canadian service members, including Special Forces, already operating in the country, making Iraq Canada’s signature foreign military intervention, with a commitment running into 2021.
The goal, commanders on the ground say, is straightforward: ensure the lasting defeat of ISIS and help raise an Iraqi army that is self-sufficient and capable of defending Iraq against any future threats. But the recent history of Iraq—and of ISIS—suggests a hard road ahead. And time is running short.
When Lt. Lukas Kaemmerer received word he would be deployed to Iraq, his first thoughts were consumed by the excitement of his first overseas deployment. The 24-year-old Mississauga, Ont., native had always dreamed of joining the military. After two years in university, he took advantage of the Regular Officer Training Program to pay for his degree in civil engineering and was posted to the 5 Combat Engineer Regiment in Valcartier, Que.
At the time, ISIS was at its height, controlling a huge swath of territory in Iraq and Syria. Canadian Special Forces were embedded with Kurdish Peshmerga forces in Iraq’s north and preparing for the siege of Mosul, the ISIS caliphate’s crown jewel.
From the safety of his base in Quebec, Kaemmerer found it difficult to wrap his head around ISIS’s brutality. What he understood was what his training in explosive ordnance disposal had taught him: the tactics they used were deadly. Defeating them would mean people like him—combat engineers—would have to put their lives on the line.
During the Mosul offensive, ISIS did not disappoint. Booby traps and improvised explosive devices became the scourge of Iraqi counterterrorism units on the front lines. Thousands lost their lives, or if they were lucky, only a limb or two.
In the end, ISIS was defeated and, as its caliphate crumbled, Kaemmerer came to believe the group was gone for good. Its last stand in eastern Syria felt like an ending, he says—the condition of the ragged fighters limping out of the battle zone a just fate for the crimes they had committed.
But when he arrived in Iraq in February, Kaemmerer discovered a very different reality. “I didn’t know the extent to which ISIS was still present in Iraq,” he says. “I thought they’d been completely wiped out. I got here and heard they might be coming back as an insurgency, that they’ve come back into Iraq from Syria.”
Based out of the sprawling Taji military installation less than 30 km north of Baghdad, Kaemmerer has had some time to rethink what his mission to Iraq means. In the beginning, he saw it merely as a training mission to help the Iraqi Military Engineering School modernize its course curriculum. Now, with an insurgency looming, his role feels more critical. Kaemmerer heads up a team of Canadians deployed with the NATO Mission in Iraq, tasked with helping the Iraqi army improve its capabilities. His specialty is route clearance—an innocuous-sounding name for a job that, in the fight against an enemy like ISIS, means exposing oneself to its deadliest tactic: roadside bombs.
The Iraqi soldiers he has worked with, he says, have ample experience when it comes to improvised explosive devices. “As individuals, they’re fine,” he says. “But the way they do it is by habit. What we’re trying to show them is that if they have better procedures and work together as a team, they will stand a better chance of saving lives—not just their own lives, but civilian lives.”
In its current form, ISIS has been active for only five or six years, but its origins stretch back at least to 2004, shortly after the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
At that time, the first signs were emerging of what would evolve into one of the world’s most brutal civil wars. The sectarian hatreds unleashed by the U.S. invasion were still in their infancy, but all the mistakes that led to them had already been made. The original sin, of course, was the invasion itself, predicated on false intelligence and executed with such disregard for a post-war strategy that it seemed almost as if the goal itself was chaos.
First came the looting: as American soldiers watched, Iraqis went to work dismantling Iraq’s precious history and culture. Nothing was spared: works of art disappeared along with priceless relics; Saddam’s palaces were ransacked, government buildings stripped bare. Then came the catastrophic Coalition Provisional Authority, led by Paul Bremer. Under his tutelage, the Iraqi army was disbanded, its soldiers and officers left jobless. Secret military prisons sprouted up around Iraq where Sunni men were herded and tortured. It was here that al-Qaeda in Iraq—what would become ISIS—recruited its most hardened fighters.
Random attacks and the deaths of a few U.S. soldiers began to unsettle the occupying forces. And with support for the war already precarious back home, orders came down to keep the locals at a distance. By August, the U.S. had retreated behind blast walls and barbed wire. Any hint of goodwill was gone.
In 2014, when ISIS swept through predominantly Sunni Mosul, the poorly trained and largely Shia army collapsed. ISIS fighters, numbering in the hundreds, easily drove out Iraqi soldiers numbering in the thousands.
Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin, the current commander of the NATO mission, says the Iraqis would like to avoid a repeat.
“There’s a realization at all levels that to defeat ISIS you must invest in the long term,” he says, speaking at his office in Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone. “The Iraqi Ministry of Defence understands that to do this means they have to invest in capabilities, in expertise, to grow their own security institutions so that they are able to withstand the resurgence of violent extremist organizations.”
In shaping the NATO mission, Fortin has employed a distinctly Canadian “whole of government” approach. Teams like Kaemmerer’s engineers will focus on training Iraqis at their combat engineering and explosive ordnance disposal schools so they can take the lead in training the next generation of Iraqi soldiers. The goal is sustainability, so missions like Operation Inherent Resolve—in which an unknown number of Canadian Special Forces are still reportedly embedded with the Iraqi army hunting ISIS sleeper cells—can finally come to an end.
FROM THE ARCHIVES: A whole new war is about to hit Iraq
Other Canadians are working directly with the Iraqi ministries of defence, interior and health to help build institutional capacities so that the whole system can operate efficiently. But the challenges are daunting.
“In many ways now we are in a race to the future,” Brig.-Gen. Colin Keiver, Canada’s top commander with Operation Inherent Resolve, tells me by telephone from the coalition headquarters in Kuwait. “It is about building Iraqi capacity so they are able to deal with an ISIS now trying to establish itself as an insurgency. We’ve seen attacks increase, whether it be improvised explosive devices or small arms.”
Then there are the sectarian divides, which continue to plague Iraq. The fight against ISIS has only deepened those divides after Iraq’s Shia leaders called for the creation of militias to take on the Sunni extremist group. Those militias were key to ISIS’s defeat and have now embedded themselves in the Iraqi security services, refusing to disband.
In Latifiya, Sheikh Modhir al Janabi has a reputation for anti-government sentiment. It was the al Janabi tribe that captured me in 2004, and it remains on the cusp of returning to the insurgency. At his palatial meeting hall, incongruously set amid ragged fields on the outskirts of the village, the sheikh remains openly distrustful of the Iraqi government as well as any foreign presence in Iraq.
He is also an avid conspiracy theorist. Over the course of one hour, he stitches together wild tales of U.S. and Iraqi government support for al-Qaeda. He claims the U.S. created ISIS as an excuse to come back to Iraq and that the U.S. plan all along has been to break the back of Iraqis to take control of the country.
“It’s like the story of the elephant,” he says. “It’s very difficult to train an elephant. So what can you do? You wear black; you dig a hole in the ground. When you trap the elephant, you start to beat him and treat him badly. He will cry, that elephant. Then you leave and return dressed in white. You offer the elephant water; you clean him up and treat him tenderly. Then the elephant will listen to you. This is what the Americans have done in Iraq.”
The Iraqi government receives even less respect. According to al Janabi, it was Nouri al Maliki, the former Iraqi prime minister, who orchestrated a prison break in 2013 in which hundreds of al-Qaeda prisoners were set free, reinforcing ISIS ranks. In fact, the incident was carried out by ISIS itself, part of a strategy Baghdadi announced in 2012 to free its imprisoned fighters.
RELATED: Life amidst the ISIS insurgency
But for al Janabi, being ruled by what he calls an “Iranian proxy” from Baghdad—referring to the feeling among many of Iraq’s Sunnis that the central government favours the Shia majority—is unacceptable. “We brought peace to Latifiya ourselves,” he says, “without the army, without the Americans. But now the army is back. They have these checkpoints again. That’s a problem for us.”
Al Janabi is not entirely off the mark. Iraq’s government, particularly under Maliki, has been criticized for developing close ties to the Iranians and inflaming sectarian tensions. The army has been accused of mistreating Sunnis, though its reputation is beginning to improve, while the Shia militias have developed a penchant for extrajudicial killings and believing all Sunnis are terrorists.
The issue, Brig.-Gen. Keiver says, is front and centre for the coalition. “We’ve seen tension; we’ve seen open conflict frankly between some of the PMFs and the Iraqi security forces,” he says, using another acronym for the militias. “We’ve seen some of the PMFs engage in criminality to support their activities in terms of vehicle checkpoints. It’s a big challenge and it’s one the Iraqi government has absolutely got to wrestle with.”
At the Taji military base, the Shia militias pose a direct threat. Canadian forces, along with their international coalition partners, are housed in what’s known as the Green Zone, protected by their own blast walls and sentries. Outside the Green Zone is the Amber Zone, where the Iraqi military and some Shia militias are based. For the training, Kaemmerer and his team must leave the Green Zone and travel a short distance to the Iraqi Military Engineering School in the Amber Zone.
Members of the force protection team that accompanies them tell me their biggest concern is the Shia militias. “We see them sometimes watching us,” one of the team members says, requesting anonymity. “They take notes on our movements. We’re not sure what they’re up to.”
READ MORE: Why the ISIS threat lives on
The Shia militias are only one of the dangers Canada faces. The NATO mission may be “non-combat” only, according to Maj.-Gen. Fortin, but some of what Canada is doing rides the fine line between passive training support and active combat.
In taking the lead at this initial stage, for instance, Canada has also contributed three Griffon transport helicopters that provide logistical support for Canadian forces as well as other members of the coalition. Two of the helicopters are in the air virtually every day on multiple flights between bases, often travelling low over open terrain where there is risk of an ISIS presence.
Canada also provides a force protection unit in Baghdad that is tasked with escorting civilians and other members of the NATO mission around the city.
“We’re one of the few countries actively involved in doing security in Baghdad,” says Maj. Nicholas George, the commander of the unit. “We’re out on the streets every day, but our relationship with the Iraqi forces is excellent and the intelligence we receive from them gives us a very good understanding of the threats we face.”
Those threats are likely to increase in the coming weeks and months. Baghdad is calm for the time being, but locals say they fear an ISIS insurgency could break out at any moment.
Maj.-Gen. Fortin is adamant that regardless of what happens, Canada’s role in the NATO training mission will not change. “There will be no mission creep,” he says. “Our goal here is to help the Iraqis prepare for any contingency, including the emergence of another extremist group, whether it’s ISIS or the Son of ISIS or whatever they might call themselves.”
That eventuality is a near certainty.

Amsterdam is undoubtedly one of the most exotic cities in the world. Having said that, it has its fair share of cinemas too, which are enough to delight even the most passionate cinema lover. Below are some of the best cinemas in the Dutch capital city that will give you an unparalleled movie experience during your private Amsterdam walking tours.
The Kriterion is a cinema run by college-going students and has employees who are still enrolled at different universities in the Netherlands. The theater has an elaborate history, as it was a part of World War II. In fact, it was used by the Dutch army as a safe house during the war. The theater has an attractive bar alongside the screening centers. It attracts a large number of students due to its proximity to the University of Amsterdam’s College of Social Sciences.
A part of the cultural organization called De Hallen, this cinema is situated inside a tram service that was renovated recently. The building that houses the theater is a great example of Dutch architectural elegance. Mainly known for showcasing the mainstream, classic, and independent movies, this theater has 9 screening rooms. The building also houses the largest indoor food market in Amsterdam, which is worth a visit before you enter the screening rooms.
Bioscoop Het Ketelhuis
Westergasfabriek is a place that dictates the culture of the Western premises of Amsterdam. This is the main complex that was used as a power plant in the previous century and it has been converted into a vast cultural site. The constructions have been completed in Dutch Neo-Renaissance style. It houses many restaurants, venues, and bars. The theater Bioscoop Het Ketelhuis is situated on the eastern side of the Westergasfabriek. The place has a great ambiance where you can enjoy the movies at peace.
De Balie is a great cultural location that previously held discussions among politicians, artists, scientists, and leaders. It used to be a place, which held some of the pivotal discussions of the country and its social developments. The place now houses an attractive screening center. Additionally, it also has a restaurant and a café. The place mainly showcases documentaries, political films, and alternative films as well. It is also a location where the International film festival is hosted.

1. Antifungal Activity of an Antibiotic Lock Solution Containing a Triple Combination of Trimethoprim, EDTA and Ethanol against Candida Species
The implantation and use of prosthetic medical devices has greatly facilitated the management of serious medical and surgical conditions. However, introduction of artificial materials into various body locations can be a route for microorganisms to colonize and form biofilms that protect them from antibiotics and host defenses, leading to persistent infections.
2. Efficacy of a Triple Combination of Trimethoprim, EDTA and 25% Ethanol in the Treatment of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Catheter Infection
Nosocomial infections due to Staphylococcus aureus have increased recently and their treatment is complicated by the emergence of multi-drug-resistance. Staphylococcal infections are associated with the formation of biofilms on indwelling medical devices, such as indwelling vascular catheters and damaged tissues. Antimicrobial Lock therapy provides a means for delivering high concentrations of drug to resistant biofilms coating catheters. B-Lock™, a triple combination of trimethoprim, EDTA and 25% ethanol is a new product entering clinical development for prevention and treatment of catheter infections.

“Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.” Chinese Proverb
It is commonly accepted that regular exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Study after study shows the benefits it can have. Not only does regular exercise help you manage your weight and reduce your risk of developing diseases, it can help prevent and treat mental health problems. It can boost your well-being and mood, and is a great way to unwind from the stresses of life.
How can exercise help?
Certain emotional states, if experienced on a regular basis or for a prolonged period, can have a significant impact on our health and well-being as well as causing specific physical conditions such as muscle fatigue, panic attacks or sleep disorders. Many of these conditions arise due to the chemicals that are released when the emotional states are triggered and exercise can help:
- To lessen the intensity of the emotions that will reduce the level of chemicals released
- To help the body disperse or process the chemicals
- To reduce the physical symptoms associated with the emotional state
Different forms of relaxation
The following exercises are able to target and improve a particular problem:
- Breathing exercises: To calm the emotional response and release tension
- Guided relaxation/meditation exercise: To restore calm, release tension and re-focus the mind
- Mindfulness practices: To calm the intensity of the emotional response in the moment and to establish a habit of pausing before choosing the appropriate response to suit the situation
- Physical exercise: To release tension and enable body to release the chemicals held in the muscles
- Massage: To release tension and enable body to release the chemicals held in the muscles
Establish which exercises work for you and incorporate them into your daily routine to reap the long term benefits.
There are numerous ways of working with your breathing – these breathing exercises represent only a few options.
This relaxation tool provides two exercises – a guided meditation and an exercise to promote sleep.
Practise mindfulness and improve your ability to manage your emotions in the moment and pause before choosing how to respond.
Physical exercise is great for health and well-being and exercising outside re-connects you with nature helping ground you and change your state of mind.

Creating a fantastical fairground ride for dedicated revellers (La Fira means Fair), the owner of this bizarre booze boutique brought the rusting scraps of a disused funfair here from Germany piece-by-piece. Drinkers can gaze into vintage distorting mirrors, try out the fairground games or roundabouts or have their fortunes read. There really is nowhere like it, and it’s worth checking out for the décor alone where else can you drink your great cocktail in a dodgem car? (They frown on that in actual fairgrounds, we’ve asked.)
The well-stocked amazing bar has over 150 kinds of spirits and an extensive cocktail menu, and the music is a mix of Anglo and Spanish pop that gets the regulars dancing until the early hours (as with many Barcelona venues, the party doesn’t get started till very late, so don’t turn up early expecting a buzzing scene). The drinks aren’t outrageously priced considering the setting, and the fact that it’s slightly off the beaten track means that it’s not as packed with tourists as you might expect with such a unique destination La Fira attracts a lot of locals and regulars, which gives it a relaxed and friendly atmosphere even when busy.
(Be warned, also, that the ubiquity of the name ‘Fira’ means you have to be very clear where you’re going, or you could end up at a hotel or even a trade fairß-) But if you make it to this Tim Burtonesque bar, you’ll be glad you did, as it’s an experience not soon forgotten. Part fairy tale, part Fellini, we say sit back on a swing, take a sip, and enjoy the ride.

I have left parts of myself in each corner of the world where I have travelled. The moment I stopped and fully realized I was THERE, a thin slice of my being got imprinted on that spot and in exchange, part of the energy that made that place unique, became part of me.
That’s how I became ‘me’ of today, from the multitude of vibrations I now carry, speaking to me of the places where my feet walked or my eyes admired.
If, one day, I could only photograph the images I carry in my heart of all these places, of all those faces, of my own soul smiling at the miracle of diversity that makes us all…

TRANSIT took note of this interesting and disturbing article about the introduction of a night market at the site of the old North Klang bus terminal, which was closed in late 2007 when Klang Sentral was opened.
The irony, of course, is that the bus area remains closed to buses – despite the fact that most buses that serve Klang town have returned to the North Klang bus terminal area, and Klang residents have called on the MPK to improve amenities and facilities.
What makes it worse is that in 4 years, the Selangor government has not stepped in to improve public transport in Klang, reopening the North Klang bus terminal and introducing new services. In addition, SPAD has not stepped in and resolved the issue, despite entreaties from TRANSIT, who recommended to SPAD that solving the Klang Sentral and North Klang bus terminal issues was the best place for them to get started.
The resolution of the North Klang bus terminal issue is going to be a major factor in any improvement to public transport in the west Klang Valley.
Flea market draws flak (The Star)
Saturday February 18, 2012
Story and photos by ELAN PERUMAL
THE Klang Municipal Council’s decision to approve the Nadi Kota Uptown flea market at the site of the former North Klang bus terminal has not gone down well with traders in the area.
They feel that the council’s decision to approve the market which operates from 10pm to 4am daily is not a good idea.
The traders said this was because the bus terminal issue had not been resolved yet after the move to Klang Sentral in Meru four years ago.

- Born: 1658
- Died: 1714/11/2
- Titles: soba yônin (1688-?), Rôjû & Tairô (1706/1/11-1709/6/3), Dewa-no-kami, Mino-no-kami
- Other Names: 柳沢保明 (Yanagisawa Yasuakira), 松平吉保 (Matsudaira Yoshiyasu), Fusayasu, Yatarô, Hozan, Shôshô Yoshiyasu
- Japanese: 柳沢吉保 (Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu)
Previously known as Fusayasu and Yasuakira, he was born into a samurai family, and was initially a mere page (koshô) within the shogunate, with a stipend of 150 koku. However, at some point, he became a personal favorite of Shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, and was promoted to a fief of 32,030 koku, and was granted the privilege of the use of the clan name Matsudaira. He became soba yônin under Shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi in 1688, and was visited directly at his home by the Shogun on nearly sixty occasions, beginning with a visit on 1691/3/22.
Yoshiyasu became lord of the 150,000 koku domain of Kôfu in 1704, and then rôjû and Tairô in 1706, serving in that position until 1709. At the peak of his status, he claimed a fief of some 228,765 koku.
He is known as an avid patron of Chinese thought and culture, inviting a number of Chinese Ôbaku Zen monks, as well as Nagasaki-based Japanese scholars of colloquial Chinese language and culture, to his mansions, and appointing Ogyû Sorai as a scholar in his service. Yanagisawa also sponsored discussions, sometimes attended by the shogun, of Confucian classics, conducted in Chinese; in connection with this, he also organized language classes in colloquial Chinese which served as the basis for Sorai's own study of the language. When the Chinese monk Eppô was interviewed by Tsunayoshi in 1705, it is said that Yanagisawa was the only one in the room who did not need to wait for the interpreters to understand what was being said.

"It's something I hear about everywhere I go," Clinton said.
Biotech stocks reacted to Hillary's tweet Monday, dropping by more than 4 percent industrywide.
Later in the day, a Capitol Hill source said that Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., is planning to request information about Daraprim's "astronomical price increase" from drug's new owner, Turing Pharmaceuticals. Cummings has been conducting an investigation of recent drug price increases.
Sanford Bernstein analyst Ronny Gal said that if Clinton wins the White House, "I would say" that drug prices will take a hit.
"The entire argument that the government will begin to behave [as controller of prescription prices] is something the drug industry has been fighting tooth and nail," Gal said. "If that actually becomes a policy and looks like it's coming to a chance of passing you'll see drug company valuations cut 20 percent across the board."
Before Clinton tweeted her reaction to the news about Daraprim, Dr. Scott Gottlieb of the American Enterprise Institute said that a New York Times story about the drug's price hike comes a time where there already was "a lot of negative sentiment" about drug prices, and that "the industry is vulnerable" to those public feelings.
Earlier this month, the Kaiser Family Foundation said a survey had found that 72 percent of the public considered drug prices unreasonable. And Clinton's leading challenger for the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, has already introduced a plan to deal with drug prices, which includes allowing Medicare to negotiate prices with pharmaceutical companies and allowing people to import drugs from Canada, where medication is less expensive.
Gottlieb said "anecdotes like" the huge price increase of Daraprim "hurt and can help drive bad legislation, and Clinton is sure to propose a basket of Obamacare 'fixes' this week that will include populist calls for drug price controls."
"The problem is that there is more anti-industry populism on both sides of the political divide now. I still don't think the votes are there to get anything through the House [of Representative] but the industry is very vulnerable to things like Medicaid 'best price,' " Gottlieb said. Medicaid's best price program is a rebate scheme that helps lower federal and state costs for covering prescription drug purchases for Medicaid enrollees.
"Ultimately anything that would extend drug price controls would have to come as a pay for on broader legislation that gave Republicans something in return. But I do think the drug industry should be much more worried than they are that they could be on the receiving end of adverse legislation."

The government of Japan’s recent decision to suspend work on its Aegis Ashore installation has raised concerns about the U.S.-Japan alliance and generated protests from missile defense advocates. Critics of the decision argue the system is needed to protect Japan from a North Korean ballistic missile attack and can do so more efficiently than today’s approach of using a flotilla of Aegis destroyers rotationally deploying to the Sea of Japan.
The critics are partly right, as the program’s cost doubled from the government’s original optimistic estimates. However, at about $1.8 billion each, the two planned Aegis Ashore facilities are less expensive than the three or four $1.6 billion Aegis destroyers they partially replace.
But Japan’s decision shows cost isn’t the only — or even the most important — consideration in protecting Japan from a missile attack. The Abe government should use this pause to transform its missile defense approach to better address growing threats from China and North Korea.
Japan’s defense minister cited cost as one reason for the suspension, but a more significant stumbling block is worry from communities around the Aegis Ashore sites that missile debris could fall on their homes and that high-power radars could harm nearby inhabitants. Although these concerns may be unfounded, they suggest Japan’s Ministry of Defense should move to a distributed missile defense architecture that relies less on self-contained Aegis Ashore sites and destroyers.
The Japanese MoD is exploring alternatives to Aegis Ashore, including putting the whole installation on a floating barge or expanding today’s all-destroyer missile defense architecture. These approaches would address community concerns but would likely be more expensive than the current approach and would not necessarily improve the defense of Japan.
One of the fundamental challenges with Aegis Ashore is capacity. Even with the new SPY-7 solid-state radar, Aegis Ashore will be susceptible to the decoys and other penetration aids being fielded by North Korea and China that could cause SM-3 interceptors to miss their targets.
Moreover, both countries could overwhelm the 24 SM-3s in the Aegis Ashore magazine with large salvos of conventional and nuclear missiles, especially if defenders shoot multiple interceptors at each incoming missile.
Japan could help address its potential capacity challenges in part by attacking ballistic missiles during the boost phase, when they are easier to attack and require fewer interceptors. Aircraft with air-to-air missiles could engage ballistic missiles shortly after launch from airspace near enemy territory. This may not be feasible around China, but would be possible over North Korea.
Unmanned medium-altitude, long-endurance aircraft like the MQ-9 Reaper would enable Japanese forces to affordably conduct boost-phase intercepts at acceptable risk. These aircraft would use infrared sensors to cue engagements, which could also solve a key capability gap for the Japanese MoD by providing early warning to Japanese forces at home.
Countering missiles that evade boost-phase defenses will require a combination of mid-flight engagements at high altitudes using expensive SM-3 interceptors; lower-altitude midcourse engagements with Terminal High Altitude Area Defense interceptors; and short-range defenses using Patriot Advanced Capability-3 interceptors.
Japan currently fields all these surface-to-air missiles, but their use is not coordinated to maximize the air defense network’s efficiency.
In a more distributed missile defense architecture, SM-3s would be deployed exclusively on Aegis destroyers, which could carry more interceptors in their 96-cell vertical launch system magazines compared to Aegis Ashore. To enable the destroyers more flexible operating areas, Japan could retain the radar of Aegis Ashore and use the Cooperative Engagement Capability datal ink to share targeting information between radars and ships. This approach would address community concerns about missile debris. And to reduce worries over harm from radio frequency emissions, the radars could be relocated to less populated areas or placed on barges.
To avoid using SM-3s against every incoming ballistic missile, some of which could be decoys, Japanese forces need command-and-control systems that can match incoming weapons with the interceptor that can destroy them at the lowest cost and least impact on remaining defensive capacity. For example, missiles targeted at locations protected by PAC-3 or THAAD could be more efficiently engaged by those systems compared to SM-3s.
Missile defense command-and-control systems are available. The Aegis Combat System does this today for individual ships, and the U.S. Army’s Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System is intended to coordinate missile defenses for ground forces. A command-and-control system like these will be essential if Japan is to establish sufficient air defense capacity to defeat a North Korean attack, much less an assault from China.
Japan needs to implement a new missile defense architecture that can affordably address the size and capability of the threats it faces today. The path it was on — using SM-3s to engage almost every missile, and relying on THAAD and PAC-3 interceptors to catch the leakers — is not only inefficient; it also ensures large areas of Japan will be undefended against all but the smallest salvos. The Japanese MoD should exploit new systems for boost-phase intercept as well as command and control to better protect its territory and people.

An RTC or root canal treatment is a serious treatment that involves removing the infected pulp from inside your tooth and replacing it with a filling so you can retain your natural tooth. The chances of reinfection are much lower when you get the treatment from the right dental care clinic. In the case of root canal failure, you will need to get root canal treatment again or in the worst-case scenario have your tooth removed if the damage is too much. This can prove to be quite expensive. This is one of the many reasons why you should find the best root canal treatment.
Tips to find the best dental care clinic for RTC treatment
Here are some basic ways to find the best dental care clinic for your root canal treatment.
When you are going in for a rootcanal treatment, you need to ensure that the clinic provides the latest procedures. Root canal treatment is often described as an excruciating procedure. But this was before when technology wasn’t as advanced as it is today. Now, the root canal treatment isn’t painful at all, and even if it is there is minimal pain involved in the procedure. The root canal treatment can be done in one session only in most cases. When you are looking for a dental care clinic, make sure they use the latest treatments to provide a pain-free root canal treatment.
Experience and qualifications
The rootcanal treatment must be done thoroughly and properly by an experienced dentist who has the right qualifications. If it is done by someone who doesn’t have enough experience then you will likely experience a root canal failure in which case you have two options. The first is the extraction and replacement of the infected tooth. The second option is retreatment. This can add to your costs. This is why looking at the qualifications and experience of the dentist along with the accreditation of the clinic is important. You want to get your treatment from the best dental clinic for the best results so you can keep your natural tooth.
The best way to find out if a dental clinic is right for you is to book an appointment. During the first appointment, you will get to meet the dentist and you will be able to tell if he takes a patient-centered approach. Is the dentist asking you questions about your symptoms? Is he providing you with a list of options with explanations as to why they are suitable? If the answer is yes to both questions, then it means the dentist cares about your teeth’ well-being. In many cases, a root canal treatment is sufficient to clean out the infected pulp. An ideal dentist will let you know everything you need to know and will understand your symptoms before presenting a list of treatment options.
Typically, a rootcanal treatment is expensive especially if your molar is the one that got infected and if more than one tooth is infected. You should factor in cost also. However, don’t make it the basis of your decision. Low-cost root canal treatments might mean they are not using the latest procedures which means the treatment can be painful for you. Moreover, the probability of reinfection is higher. However, a good clinic will get the job well done the first time so there is a very low chance of reinfection. You should definitely factor in the total treatment cost as long as that is not the final deciding factor.
How can a health card be useful for RTC treatment?
A health card such as Bajaj Finserv Health EMI Network Card enables you to break up the cost of treatment into smaller chunks, i.e. EMIs. Rather than paying a big sum of money upfront when you get your root canal treatment, you can pay in smaller installments with low-cost EMIs. You can apply for the health card online or visit a partner store to get your health EMI card from Bajaj Finserv. The digital card ensures you can easily access it when you need it. You can add your family members as well which turns it into a family health card in minutes. Bajaj Finserv Health EMI Network Card has more than 5,500 partners across 1000 cities.
What makes Bajaj Finserv EMI Network Card stand apart from others is that you get a pre-approved loan which means the card gets instantly activated once you apply for it. If you are an existing Bajaj Finserv EMI Network Card holder then you don’t even need to submit any documents to get the health card. You can just apply and pay the joining fee to get the card instantly. The entire process takes only a minute to complete. You can get discounts and offers that are curated exclusively for you so you can save when you spend using your health card.

Growing sunflowers in yourlandscape provides big yellow blooms that simply shout summer. Birds flock tothe mature plants to enjoy the seeds, so you can use it as part of a plotplanted to attract birds, bees and otherpollinators. But do sunflowers transplant well and should you move them at all?Read on to learn more.
Put sunflowers in their permanentlocation when planting. Because of the taproot, moving plants is not advisable.It is nearly impossible to move growing plants with taproots once active growthhas started.
Can you transplant sunflowers froma starting pot? If you want to get started early growing this plant, you maygrow from seed in a container. Transplanting sunflower seedlings shortly aftersprouting is the best practice.
Because the seeds are large, growquickly and have a long taproot, moving sunflower plants from the sproutingcontainer into the ground can be tricky. Do this less than three weeks afterplanting or as soon as you see leaves developing. If you leave plants in thestarting container too long, growth of the long taproot may be stunted.
The best way to grow sunflowers isby planting seeds directly into the ground when soil has warmed and frostdanger is passed. If for some reason you must start sunflowers in containers,use pots that are biodegradable and remove them as you’re putting the plantinto a hole. Make sure dirt is loosened several inches underneath to provideroom for the taproot to grow.
If you buy a growing sunflower in apot, look closely to make sure top growth appears healthy and, if you can, takea look at the roots. Don’t purchase this plant if it appears rootbound.
If you want to grow sunflowers in acontainer, choose a pot that is deep and possibly a dwarf variety of the plant.Sources say a one to two-gallon pot is big enough for a dwarf plant and thatthe mammoth types need at least a five-gallon container. Sunflowers growing ina container will likely need staking too.
So, do sunflowers transplant well?Answer: in most cases, not so well. Only attempt to transplant those you’vestarted from seed and do that as quickly as the plant allows.

Ask a Question Here are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.
Can you transfer a sunflower from the ground to a pot without harming it? It's 7ft tall.
Dig around the plant and straight down, as not to disturb the larger roots. Instructions are here www.professorshouse.com/ . /
if you're careful I say go for it, just make sure that it is a really big pot so it has room to grow and thrive and make sure it gets as much sun as it generally gets where it lives now
While I personally would not, my reason is that they are too big and heavy to deal with and I physically I am not able to dig that deep--they have huge root spans) and even if I could, I don't think I could lift a 7 foot plant (too heavy).
If you are physically able, you just need to make sure you can dig deep enough to get all the roots or you risk damaging the system and the plant dying. The roots can be three feet deep and three feet wide. more if the plant is really huge--7 feet is huge, but they can get WAY taller!
Then you would need a pot big enough to house it all in. That in it self can be a challenge and then it is triple..plant, dirt, pot.

Don't forget to harvest seeds, some to eat, some to plant. provided that the birds don't beat you to it :)
Thanks for the advice.It's been picked to be in the county fair so just for the week it will be out of the ground.So what would you do if it was yours
Wow! That is a huge honor. It is a shame the can't judge it where it blooms. It seems a bit illogical to make you move it. But I guess I over think things :(
That said, if you feel you can get to the root ball and have a big enough pot, go for it! Let me know how it goes! Hope you win!!
I have transplanted 2-3 foot sunflowers successfully but a 7 foot - wow.
I just bought a potted, pretty well established sunflower plant in a pot. I want to plant it in my yard. What steps should I follow?
Dig a large hole in a sunny area. Gently tip the plant out of the pot and plant it.
This is an easy job- no different than most transplants but just in case you like a visual here is an excellent video on YouTube:
Just be sure to watch it and water as needed. You may need to stake it until it gets a good root hold!! Enjoy the loveliness!!
Sunflowers are very easy to transplant from pot to ground.
Find a nice area in your yard that has direct sunlight (6-8 hours). Dig a generous sized hole 2ft deep by 3ft (depending on how big your pot is). Sunflowers need soil that drains well.
I want to replant a few sunflowers. Where do I start cutting? Do I stick the flower in the ground or pot first? Do I water everyday or once a week?
Does the bright face of a golden sunflower cheer you up? Did you plant hundreds of the sunflowers seeds, so you could be continuously cheery, but realize that now you need to thin them out? Or maybe some just popped up in the wrong location. Never fear, you can move your beloved sunflower to an appropriate place safely, and enjoy its beauty for the rest of the season.
There are over sixty varieties of sunflowers. Each one has specific needs for growth and care, but the basics are all about the same. You've planted the seeds, whether indoors or out, and now need to transplant or thin them out in the garden. The process will take a little time, but should result in undamaged sprouts or flowers in the end.
When Transplanting Seedlings
Seedlings are very delicate until several weeks when the stem grows thicker and develops in to a stalk. When you are moving them from a germination flat from indoors to outdoors, you will need some special care. Pick a location that receives full sun or only partial shade for the best results. Do not plant outdoors until all danger of frost is gone, as the cold will freeze the tender stems and they will die and not regrow.
Begin by digging small holes where you would like your seedlings to go. Make sure they are adequately spaced so the roots will have plenty of room to grow. You don't want to have to re-transplant them again in another month by spacing them to close together. Dig a hole about two or three inches in to the ground. Work the soil so it is loose and the roots can take hold and latch on, on the sides and bottom of the hole.
Position the sunflower in the center of the hole and cover with soil. Pat gently so the soil is firm and will keep sunflower in place. Water the area to give the roots extra help in growing and repairing themselves from the transplant.
If your seedlings are small and don't stand up on their own, you might want to use a stake. You can buy metal or wood ones and prop next to the seedling or tie it with some string. Popsicle sticks and wooden stakes cut down to the size of the seedling work best. The stakes will also protect against heavy rain and high wind damage.
And like all young sprouts, they will attract wildlife. Rabbits especially like to eat the tender green stems of sunflowers. Its not uncommon to have a beautiful row or two of sprouts emerge, grow to six inches tall, and then be completely mowed down overnight by a hungry rabbit or deer. A fence made of wire or mesh might keep them out, at least until the seedlings can grow tall enough where the rabbits lose interest. A fence would need to be at least eight feet tall to keep deer out, and then it isn't even a guarantee. Human or animal hair placed near the seedlings may also repel their interests.good luck.
I don't understand your question, "where do I cut?". I'm in central FL on the east coast and am currently growing sunflowers, too. I'd be happy to help you, if I can. I'm guessing yours are in the ground and you want to move them? How old are they? I planted mine from seeds in pots, then transplanted them at 4wks from pots to the ground. They are 7wks old now and getting bigger by the minute. Feel free to contact me.
Hello there. First time planting sunflowers. Mistakenly I planted all the seeds in one single large pot. I'm wondering if I can transplant some of the to other pots? They are happy and healthy on my balcony along with my herbs and plants. I also believe that the roots will be all tangled together. Just afraid of hurting them if I do need to transplant them to give more space between them. Thank you much.
I would like to relocate some older (about 1/2 grown) sunflowers. How can I do it without killing the flower? Thanks for any help or advice.
I want to move my sunflower plants from one area to another. Can I do this without killing them? If so, how do you recommend I do this?
Once your cucumber seedlings have between two to three true leaves, then it’s about time to transplant. Make holes for the transplant that can well accommodate the roots of the seedlings. It is easier to use the seedling pea pot’s size or your seedling bag to judge the hole size.
After making the hole, carefully remove the base of the pea pot or seedling container. Then meticulously remove all the boxes. Without damaging the roots, place the cucumber seedling in the hole. Cover the seedling with soil or compost.
When it comes to planting sunflower seeds, you can either directly sow them outside, or you can start them inside to transplant them later.
Whichever way you decide to get your seeds started, we'll let you know the best ways to do so!
DIRECTLY SOWING YOUR SUNFLOWER SEEDS
NOTE: Depending on the variety you grow, sunflowers will mature and develop their seeds in 80-120 days. Just be sure to keep that in mind!
GROWING SUNFLOWER TRANSPLANTS

Riboflavin is the scientific name for a vitamin and dietary supplement commonly known as Vitamin B2. Doctors may prescribe riboflavin in higher doses to help treat migraines and cancer in certain cases.
Riboflavin plays an important role in helping the body to break down the nutrients in food. It helps the body convert complex carbohydrates, fats, and protein into forms that the body can use.
Riboflavin also helps maintain your adrenal gland, which responds to stress and helps maintain proper functioning of the nervous system.
Red meat, beef, or lamb meat – all these are wonderful sources of this vitamin. Meat and meat products give you enough vitamin B2 to meet about 12% of the RDA. Try to include kidneys and livers in your diet to meet your riboflavin requirement.
Almonds are a great source of vitamin B2 with 28 grams of this healthy nut giving 0.28 mg of Riboflavin, which is about 17% of the RDA. An ounce each of cashews, pine nuts, and pistachios meets 4% of the RDA riboflavin requirement.
3. Green Leafy Vegetables:
Green leafy vegetable such as spinach, fenugreek leaves, asparagus, drumstick leaves, and beet greens are excellent sources of vitamin B2. While ½ a cup of spinach yields 0.21 mg riboflavin, beet greens give your 24% of RDA requirement.
Milk not only provides calcium to keep the bones healthy but is a good source of vitamin B2 too. 100 ml of milk provides 0.18 mg of vitamin B2, which makes up about 10.5% of the daily requirement of this essential vitamin.
Cheese is a tasty and healthy way of replenishing the body with vitamin B2. 100 gm of cheese provide about 1.38 mg of Riboflavin, which is enough to make up 81% of the amount you need everyday.
Eating mushrooms boosts vitamin B2 reserves in the body. 100 gm of mushrooms give you about 0.49 mg of vitamin B2, satiating 29% of its daily requirement.
Eat eggs-scrambled, boiled or in curry form. Eggs are not only a power house of proteins but are also abundant in vitamin B2. You can reap 0.51 milligrams of riboflavin from 100 grams of eggs to satisfy 30% of the RDA requirement.
Oily fish such as Mackerel, Rohu, Surmai, and Katla are rich sources of vitamin B2. While 85 gm of Mackerel gives you about 0.49 mg of this vitamin, smoked salmon and wild salmon meet 27% and 24% of RDA recommended daily values respectively.
9. Soya Beans:
Soya is known as one of the healthiest foods which can be consumed by both vegetarians and non vegetarians alike. A great source of protein for vegetarians and vegans, soya beans are naturally blessed with a good quantity of vitamin B2. Include 100 gm of soy beans in your diet to reap 0.18 mg of this vitamin.
In addition to being a good source of a number of essential vitamins and antioxidants, broccoli is also a warehouse of vitamin B2. If you are watching your weight, you can safely consume broccoli. While 100 gm of these green veggies give 0.117 mg of riboflavin, meeting just 10% of the recommended daily value of this vitamin, it is still a healthier choice when compared to other calorie dense sources.
Benefits of B vitamins
1. Vitamin B2 is a Mild Anti-inflammatory
Riboflavin significantly reduces the expression of HMGB1 (high-mobility group protein B1), which is one of the factors responsible for inflammation in systemic inflammatory response syndrome (sepsis) in mice.
Under various circumstances, it shows anti-inflammatory properties.
2. Vitamin B2 Helps Prevent Cognitive Decline
Riboflavin is associated with improved cognitive test scores in primary school children in rural Kenya. Higher intake of B2 is associated with better abstract performance.
Riboflavin is a safe and well-tolerated option for treating migraines in adults.
Treatment reduced the number of times migraines occur.
Riboflavin treatment in a 16-year-old boy with L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria (LHGuria), a rare neurometabolic disorder improved his cognitive function.
3. Vitamin B2 Consumption Reduces Depression
In many depressed subjects, there was a concurrent Riboflavin deficiency.
In elderly, depressed patients, B vitamins (B1, B2, and B6) improved depression.
In a Japanese cross-sectional study, increased intake of Riboflavin meant decreased symptoms of depression in girls but not for boys.
Consumption of Riboflavin prevents depression after childbirth.
4. Vitamin B2 Protects the Eye
Increased consumption of Riboflavin leads to a significant decrease in age-related cataracts.
Consumption also leads to less age-related opacity in the eyes.
Combined use of Riboflavin and UVA photochemical therapy has a positive effect in patients with eye inflammation.
5. Vitamin B2 Prevents Cardiovascular Disease
In a patient with a certain genotype, Riboflavin effectively reduces blood pressure.
Elderly who had oral Riboflavin supplementation had reduced homocysteine, which causes heart disease.
Riboflavin and folate work together to reduce homocysteine levels.
6. Vitamin B2 May Prevent Cancer
Riboflavin consumption (in addition to vitamin B6) reduces colorectal cancer risk in postmenopausal women.
B2 consumption also reduced the risk of colon cancer among women.
There is little association between B2 intake and prostate cancer prevalence, breast cancer, and lung cancer.
7. Vitamin B2 Plays a Protective Role in Bones
B2 and other B vitamin play a protective role in bone health.
In an experimental study, those who had the lowest intake of Riboflavin had a higher chance of getting fractures.
Increased intake of Riboflavin leads to more bone mass density in the neck.
8. Vitamin B2 Protects the Liver
Riboflavin may be used as a liver-protective agent against toxic effects of CCl4 and other chemical agents in the liver.
Riboflavin also reduces liver injury following liver ischemia and reperfusion in mice.
9. Vitamin B2 Protects Against Autoimmune Disorders
In a case study, B2 treatment was effective in treating a progressive neurological disorder (Brown–Vialetto–Van Laere syndrome 2).
In mice, B2 helped suppress a motor disability model after the autoimmune disorder, multiple sclerosis.
10. Vitamin B2 Reduces Nightly Leg Cramps
B2 (along with other B vitamins) helped reduce the length, pain intensity, and frequency of nocturnal leg cramps in the elderly.
11. Vitamin B2 Helps with Pregnancy
In mice, vitamin B2 supplementation leads to more pregnancy, more weight of the pups, and increased hemoglobin.
Vitamin B2 deficiency is a significant risk when diet is poor, because the human body excretes the vitamin continuously, so it is not stored. A person who has a B2 deficiency normally lacks other vitamins too.
There are two types of riboflavin deficiency:
- Primary riboflavin deficiency happens when the person’s diet is poor in vitamin B2
- Secondary riboflavin deficiency happens for another reason, maybe because the intestines cannot absorb the vitamin properly, or the body cannot use it, or because it is being excreted too rapidly
Riboflavin deficiency is also known as ariboflavinosis.
Signs and symptoms of deficiency include:
- Angular cheilitis, or cracks at the corners of the mouth
- Cracked lips
- Dry skin
- Inflammation of the lining of the mouth
- Inflammation of the tongue
- Mouth ulcers
- Red lips
- Sore throat
- Scrotal dermatitis
- Fluid in mucous membranes
- Iron-deficiency anemia
- Eyes may be sensitive to bright light, and they may be itchy, watery, or bloodshot
People who drink excessive amounts of alcohol are at greater risk of vitamin B deficiency.
Side Effects & Safety
Riboflavin is LIKELY SAFE for most people when taken by mouth. In some people, riboflavin can cause the urine to turn a yellow-orange color. It may also cause diarrhea.
Special Precautions & Warnings:
Children: Riboflavin is LIKELY SAFE for most children when taken by mouth in appropriate amounts as recommended by the Food and Nutrition Board for the National Institute of Medicine (see dosing section below).
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Riboflavin is LIKELY SAFE when taken by mouth and used appropriately for pregnant or breast-feeding women. The recommended amounts are 1.4 mg per day for pregnant women and 1.6 mg per day in breast-feeding women. Riboflavin is POSSIBLY SAFE when taken by mouth in larger doses, short-term. Some research shows that riboflavin is safe when taken at a dose of 15 mg once every 2 weeks for 10 weeks.
Hepatitis, Cirrhosis, Billary obstruction: Riboflavin absorption is decreased in people with these conditions.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he bears personal responsibility for the league’s shortcomings in hiring minority head coaches.
“Yes, I do bear that responsibility, as well as all our clubs,’’ said Goodell, who is in his 16th season as the league’s commissioner, on Wednesday during his annual Super Bowl news conference.
Former Patriots coordinator and Dolphins sent shockwaves through the league with a wide ranging lawsuit related to minority hiring in the NFL as well as claims coaches are being paid to tank seasons by owners. Flores’ lawsuit includes text messages from Bill Belichick that show Flores was already out of contention for the New York Giants’ open head coaching job before he even interviewed. It alleges his reputation for being difficult to work with started when he refused to tamper with a free agent quarterback on the yacht of Miami’s owner. It claims Broncos executives showed up hungover and unprepared when they interviewed him for their head coaching position.
After Flores’ lawsuit came out, former Cleveland Browns coach Hugh Jackson alleged he was also given rewards for losing games. In responding to people on Twitter, Jackson said Browns owner Jimmy Haslam was pleased when Cleveland would lose, and that he was offering “a good number” for losses.
Goodell said the league will review its policies on diversity and inclusion and would consider an complete overhaul. But he offered no specifics and said as of now he has no solution.
“You don’t take anything off the table,'' he said. "So if it requires an overall, you do it. If it requires changes in other areas, you do it. Obviously we haven’t been successful to date, so we’ve got to look at every one of those alternatives.''
The 32-team league has five minority head coaches. Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Lovie Smith, recently hired by the Houston Texans, are Black and Mike McDaniel, recently hired by the Miami Dolphins, is multiracial. The Washington Commanders' Ron Rivera is the only Latino head coach in the NFL, and the New York Jets' Robert Saleh is Arab American.
Several questions from the media stemmed from the proposed class-action lawsuit recently filed by former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores alleging racial discrimination in hiring practices.
Initially, the league said the lawsuit filed against the NFL, Dolphins, New York Giants and Denver Broncos was “without merit.’’ Saturday, however, Goodwell sent a memo to the all NFL teams stating efforts to diversify the league's coaching ranks have produced "unacceptable" results and added that the league will look into allegations of tanking.

Richard Collins, who had inherited his uncle Thomas Ford’s land just before Enclosure, lived on into the 19th century and wrote his will in 1808. He left his son John his real estate (unspecified), but he itemised the household goods he was leaving to his daughter Ann.
The list makes interesting reading, revealing a picture of old fashioned furnishings along with newly fashionable consumer goods. The bedstead in the parlour was a fashion that was on the way out by the middle of the 18th century yet Richard seems to have stuck with it into the 19th. But the equipment for tea and coffee drinking was quite ‘on trend’ for a country village of this time.
Here is what he left her:
6 brown chairs and an elbow chair,
the bedstead, hangings and furniture in the parlour, with three blankets and four sheets, which she shall choose,
a chest of drawers, swing glass, brown folding table in the house [‘house’ is an old fashioned term for the hall, or living room]
a tea table, late her mother’s, the silver tea tongs and silver spoons, the china, glasses and earthenware in the parlour cupboard and the clock, grate and iron stool with a set of fire irons in the parlour,
also the bed hilling or coverlet, late her mother’s,
two tubs and a barrel and half the pewter and a dressing table and a brass coffee boiler.
Her mother Ann, nee Dunkley, had died in 1795. Perhaps the tea table had originally been a wedding present from her family and the coverlet possibly a lavishly embroidered piece which she had made, as a showcase for her skills as a needlewoman, for her ‘bottom drawer’ to bring with her to her new home as a bride in January 1765.

Because most of us spent the year holed up in our homes it might not be immediately apparent that 2020 was actually a significant year in style. If anything, being confined to our abodes revealed how we really wanted to dress, when there’s nobody around to impress or appease.
While many rejoiced in the lack of pressure and embraced casual attire, others found that fashion aided their sense of identity during the uncertainty. Whichever camp you fell into, there are likely a few choice items you invested in this year, and we’re willing to bet that at least one is on this list.
Here are the fashion trends that defined 2020.

You can thank international labels such as The Pangaia for stoking the flames of this trend, but it was local Australian labels such as Remy and Rozalia Russian’s Atoir collection that really saw the widespread uptake of tonal loungewear. It felt like the ultimate WFH style hack – comfort, but with the added bonus of colour coordination to help us feel a little more pulled together during endless Zoom calls. Best served in neutral or pastel hues – including sage, beige, lemon and black – this trend is also easily adapted for the summer season via lighter shorts and shirt sets.
Chunky sandals were hovering in 2019, but with the pandemic relegating heels to the back of our wardrobes for the foreseeable future, dad-like footwear was able to really take hold this year. Thanks to a number of high-end styles – Chanel’s quilted iteration, or Bassike’s buckled Birkenstock-esque offering – the chunky sandal exceeded its humble origins and become a staple for almost any outfit, from tracksuits to silk slip dresses. Our podiatrists remain pleased.
This ’90s staple got a well-earned makeover after appearing on the autumn/winter runways at Dior and Prada, rendering it a hot item among the influential Scandi style set. Whether a simple cream version or a pastel iteration like the E Nolan cricket vests, or a bright option à la Ganni, the layering appeal of the vest proved popular in 2020. The look transcends seasons too, worn alone with shorts during the warmer months, or layered over a crisp button-down shirt or maxi dress during winter.
In those innocent early months of the year (remember those?), combat boots became a hot commodity. Thick, lug-soled Prada Monolith boots shot to the top of our wishlists pre-pandemic and (despite a solid few months of Uggs in-between) we’re still enamoured with them. They’re set to stick around in 2021, paired with everything from floaty peasant dresses (which will also be a thing next year) to the aforementioned loungewear sets.
Princess Diana’s enduring style influence was being felt long before the latest season of The Crown. Some of fashion’s favourite faces, including Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, have been championing Diana-inspired sportswear all year. Their efforts heralded the return of retro athleisure – sports caps, bike shorts, oversized sweatshirts with throwback motifs, vintage-feel sneakers – and became our unofficial going-to-the-supermarket garb. This Tommy Hilfiger tee is the perfect unisex vibe – team with bike shorts or sweat shorts this summer.
