Young population could boost northern economy - Conference Board
Friday, January 7, 2011 - 9:39 AM
Yellowknife, N.W.T. - Kids these days--it may be a cliché, but it's also the title of a new report by the Conference Board of Canada highlighting how many young people live in the North.
The report shows on average 20 per cent of people in Northern regions are under15 years old, with some areas, such as the NWT, having a youth rate of 24 per cent.
The director of the Board's Centre for the North, Derrick Hynes, says with more attention on the North, there will likely be more economic opportunities here-- something governments and younger people should also pay attention to.
"If I were living in the North, I would want to be focused on ensuring that opportunities that come about are afforded those who live in the North and have made their lives in the North-the Northerners, if you will," he said. "With a young population, there's a great opportunity here for the Northern population to take advantage of some of these… when they occur."
The Conference Board of Canada has released a new report mapping the generation gap between the South and the North and Hynes pointed out that the map looks different for a reason.
"The numbers tend to be higher in northern portions of provinces or in the territories, and it's not surprising that there's likely a correlation between a younger population and an aboriginal population.
Aboriginal communities tend to be younger because there's a higher birth rate and a lower life expectancy.
The youngest are in Northern Saskatchewan, Nunavut and Northern Manitoba, where 30 per cent of the people there are under 15.
The board's outlook estimates that by 2025, seniors in the South will make up 20 per cent of the population, while in the NWT, seniors will only account for 12 per cent.
So while the North may focus on economic development, the South will be concerned about health care and funding pension plans, as those regions see an increasingly aging population.

Crazy Time Gambling – Crazy Time is an online casino game developed by Evolution Gaming. If you’re a fan of the sweepstakes that peaked in popularity in the 80s and 90s, this one will feel right at home. But what makes this particular casino title unique? Keep reading and you’ll find out!
Thematically, Crazy Time was inspired by the old Wheel of Fortune games that were popular on television at the time. Although some parts of the wheel pay more than others, the player has the same chance of hitting each part.
Crazy Time Gambling
For fun, Crazy Time offers various bonuses as well as mini-games and multipliers. With a very low minimum bet (well below the dollar equivalent in most currencies), this game has a very low barrier to entry, making it suitable for any budget.
Crazy Time Live Casino Game
When you play Crazy Time, you’ll notice that there are 54 different sections and that certain numbers repeat (some more than others). This is to adjust the frequency of the big payouts – as you can imagine, you’ll get lower rewards than bigger rewards.
This is easy to understand: if the wheel stops at five, for example, you get five times the bet. And if it’s found on one of the special games like Cash Hunt, you’ll be able to play a bonus mini-game. This is not only fun, but can also be a source of useful gifts and payments.
This game mode is all about huge multipliers. When you play, you are asked to shoot your ball into the symbol you think is hiding the biggest one. Make a hit and your multiplier will be revealed. Note that multiple players can participate and each person can achieve a different score.
As the name suggests, this mini-game involves flipping a coin with two sides – red and blue. The multiplier you unlock is determined by which side the coin lands on. This sequence is automatic and requires no additional decision-making on your part.
Play Crazy Time Casino Game And Win!
If you’ve ever been to the land of the rising sun, you’ll know that Pachinko is a term that comes from Japanese culture. Basically, it has a piling wall. When the puck is thrown into the wall, bettors unlock a multiplier of the appropriate size depending on where the puck landed.
While the least likely of them all to open, Crazy Time is absolutely stunning. When you finally do, you’ll enter a virtual room with a giant point of happiness. From now on you have a choice – you can go with a blue, yellow or green flapper. Then, all you have to do is lean back and see what it’s pointing to. This can be a fixed multiplier or a special “double” or “triple” segment that can trigger a re-spin and lead you to even bigger multipliers that stack on top of each other.
Crazy Time has an almost non-existent barrier to entry, and doesn’t shy away from bombarding you with an incredible experience full of incredible graphics and special effects. If all you’re looking for is a fast-paced game to take the stress out of your day, you can’t go wrong. Crazy Time is the latest addition to Evolution Gamings portfolio of live casino games. Announced at ICE 2020 as the most exciting new live casino game coming in 2020, it features four new bonus rounds, more than the Monopoly Live solo game. For anyone familiar with Dreamcatcher and Monopoly Live, this is basically part three with more bells and whistles and one of the biggest wheels you’ll ever see in Crazy Time!
Crazy Time uses a vertical 54-segment wheel, and before each spin, a multiplier is added to one of the prizes from the high-seated fruit machine above the wheel, as shown below.
Crazy Time Review And Casinos 2023
If the multiplier matches the middle line on the top slot, a point is added, if not, there is no multiplier and the presenter continues to spin the main wheel. The highest multiplier I’ve seen is 100x, so there’s potential for some big wins.
Crazy Time has 1x, 2x, 5x and 10x sections on the main reel, as well as 4 different bonus round features like its predecessors. Evolution claims that on average a player hits one of these rounds every 6 spins, making it more attractive for players and more entertaining for spectators, let’s take a closer look at these rounds.
The Pachinko bonus has a large multiplication wall with 16 places below for multiplications and doublings, before each drop a random place is chosen for the presenter to drop the puck, then the puck falls and falls into one of the following positions. If it lands on a double space, all multipliers are doubled, and if it lands on a new random spot, this can happen an infinite number of times until the maximum multiplier is 10,000x! If your first drop is returned 4x or less, you may get a random save drop.
The Cash Hunt bonus features 108 random multipliers hidden behind various objects, this is one of two interactive bonuses in Crazy Time where you choose what you want to unlock, provided the player never. If no decision is made, the position is assigned randomly. Take a 20x multiplier and a 100x item and you can see how easy a 2000x bet can be!
Rewards On Crazy Time Up For Grabs All Month
Coin Flip is the easiest feature to land as it has 4 slots unlike the other features which have 2 and of course Crazy Time which only has 1 slot on the wheel. The feature is usually heads or tails, but with blue and red, the flip-o-matic indicates a multiplier of up to 100x on each side and the presenter presses a button to flip the coin, it’s that simple! The max win for this feature is 5000x the bet as you can get a 50x multiplier on the top slot and then 100x on the coin, still pretty good!
Now we move on to the main event, the Crazy Time wheel. Once you get this feature, the presenter will take you to the giant 64-segment wheel shown below, and you’ll be able to choose between three wings!
The wheel spins and you win the segment that adds the wing, if the wing drops to two or three segments the wheel spins again for those players who chose it with increased multipliers! This can happen an infinite number of times until the 20,000x multipliers fill the wheel and then all two and three spots turn into 20,000x multipliers and you’ll know what you’re going to win on the next spin, yes Jackpot!!
It’s also worth adding that the host tends to press a button every two or three spins for luck!
Bc.game: Crypto Casino Games & Casino Slot Games
Crazy Time has an RTP of 96.08% when played optimally and is definitely in the super high variance category. You can have 1 out of 6 bonus rounds per spin, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have more than 20 consecutive spins landing on 1x, so proceed with the same caution as other reel games. there Bonus rounds were fun and paid better than Monopoly Live and the features seemed more interesting as a player, only time will tell but I think we will see more of Crazy Time in the near future. We’ll see if he wins and I certainly will. I will play until I get this big wheel!
As always, thanks for reading and good luck if you want a live game on Casum right now! Crazy Time is not just your average online casino game. This is a popular card and coin slot that is similar to the famous wheel of fortune. The dealer spins a large vertical wheel with 54 sectors. The goal is to predict the sector where the wheel will stop at the end of the rotation. There are no computer algorithms. No cheating. Just chance and luck!
Crazy Time casino classic game. The game is loved by millions of players around the world and every year it is constantly included in the list of the most popular slots in various online casinos.
In addition, there is a video slot at the top that allows you to get certain bonuses. In Crazy Time, the game is played by a croupier, which creates an unprecedented atmosphere of a real casino.

Composer, flutist, and CUBE cofounder Janice Misurell-Mitchell had a breakthrough in 1991 with After the History, a ten-minute solo for flute and voice that combines her radical politics and restless virtuosity. A provocative piece of agitprop inspired by the fall of the Berlin Wall, it updates the Schoenbergian speech-song to incorporate extended flute techniques like overblowing, tapping, and flutter tonguing. The text, written by a colleague, hums with the activist optimism of the 1960s, which is when Misurell-Mitchell’s political identity was forged; she believes apathy to be the arts’ worst enemy, and After the History echoes some of the century’s greatest voices of protest, from Brecht to the beat poets to hip-hop. Her subsequent compositions have shared this ambitious range, aggressively appropriating and transforming bits from non-Western music–Brazilian, west African, Arabian–and espousing “global village”-style communal ideals. The Gift of Tongues, her latest, is a collaboration with Catherine Slade, a professor at Columbia College who specializes in Afrocentric theater, and it takes its text from the description of the Tower of Babel in the Book of Genesis. Misurell-Mitchell’s talent for blurring the lines between speech, song, and instrumental music should help her evoke the story’s many languages: she’ll scat, croon into her flute, and break apart words, playing with their syllables to reconstruct the meaning of the text and thumb her nose at the Bible’s endorsement of patriarchy. Her piece is part of “Spirits and Shadows,” a program presented by CUBE (Composers United by Economics) and the MASS Ensemble (Movement and Sonic Sculpture). She’ll also play her flute in an excerpt from fellow CUBE founder Patricia Morehead’s opera in progress, Black Hawk Speaks, and in Capoeira, a marvelous mosaic of Afro-Brazilian rhythms by Luiz Anunciacao. Friday, 7:30 PM, Columbia College, 1014 S. Michigan; 312-554-1133. If you’re reading this on Thursday, January 21, you can catch a performance of the same program tonight at 7:30, also at Columbia College.

You have the option with iTunes to add music and other audio files to its library in one of two ways: you can use the default method of copying all files into the iTunes Media folder, or you can opt to add by reference, where the file remains where it is on a drive and the library points to it. (This preference is in iTunes > Preferences > Advanced.)
Some people prefer to manage their music and other audio files in their own folder hierarchy or have enormous libraries they have to keep stored on an external drive. Most people let iTunes copy files and store them in the iTunes Media folder, which is typically found in Home > Music.
Where this get tricky, though, is when you want to delete an audio file from iTunes. If you navigate to the iTunes Music folder or, for externally stored files, to their location and then drop it in the Trash, the iTunes library is out of date. That can lead to errors when trying to search for and play back audio in iTunes.
Instead, you should select an item or items in iTunes and choose Song > Delete from Library. This is when you will see a dialog that might leave you scratching your head:
Do you want to move the selected song to the Trash, or keep it in the iTunes Media folder?
Then in smaller type:
Only files in the iTunes Media folder will be moved the Trash.
The buttons read Cancel, Keep File, and Move to Trash.
Apple is hedging its bets:
If one or more files are in the iTunes Media folder, then clicking Move to Trash will both remove the listing from the iTunes library and move the items to the system Trash.
If one or more files is referenced by iTunes, clicking Move to Trash only removes the listing from iTunes. The file remains in place.
The difference between Cancel and Keep File is that Cancel stops everything, while Keep File doesn’t touch a file if it’s in the iTunes Media folder, but does remove the listing from iTunes.
If you have iCloud Music Library enabled and the file has been uploaded to iCloud, iTunes displays a different message which warns about deleting the audio file or files from every linked device.

Republicans rage about breach of draft Roe opinion
Rather than reveling in a document that supports their anti-abortion views, most of the GOP trained its fire on the source of the breach.
Few Republican lawmakers on Tuesday were celebrating a draft Supreme Court opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade. Instead, they were angrily demanding answers to how the document became public in the first place.
GOP leaders trained their fire on the breach of Supreme Court protocol that led to POLITICO’s publication of the draft opinion by the court’s conservative majority, with only a handful of Republicans cheering the substance of the document itself even though the GOP has long opposed Roe.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who played a significant role in shaping the makeup of the current court, repeatedly declined to comment on the draft opinion itself or claim credit for the likely end of federally protected abortion rights. Rather, he focused on what he sees as an effort to undermine the court.
“I think the story today is an effort by someone on the inside to discredit the institution,” McConnell said, comparing it to proposals by some Democrats to expand the Supreme Court and impose term limits on justices. “All of this puts the cart before the horse ... Concentrate on what the news is today — not a leaked draft, but the fact that the draft was leaked.”
On Tuesday morning, Chief Justice John Roberts confirmed the draft’s authenticity — emphasizing that it was not a final opinion — and said he had ordered the marshal of the Supreme Court to investigate the “betrayal of confidence.”
Though little is publicly known about how the draft opinion came to light — or who might benefit most from its disclosure — some Republicans portrayed it as a breach by a progressive clerk or justice hoping to marshal public pressure against the five justices linked to the document. It’s the latest in a string of Republican accusations about the sources of breaches in high-profile matters, including politically charged congressional and criminal probes.
Republicans who have long hoped the court would repeal Roe’s establishment of abortion rights demanded investigations, firings and even prosecutions for the breach.
“We don’t know exactly what the opinion is going to say. And right now my focus is on finding the person who leaked it, making sure they’re investigated, held accountable and had their career, and everything involving [it], done,” said Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.). “That’s all I’m talking about today.”
House Republican leaders similarly said in a statement that the disclosure was “an attempt to severely damage” the court and part of a “clearly coordinated campaign to intimidate and obstruct the justices.” McConnell said “the Department of Justice must pursue criminal charges if applicable.”
Authored by conservative Justice Samuel Alito, an appointee of George W. Bush, the draft opinion amounted to an unsparing rejection of Roe. Some legal scholars pointed out that it would raise significant questions about a slew of other Supreme Court precedents.
The breach of a draft opinion is an unprecedented departure from the norms on the normally airtight court, which has stood out among government institutions as relatively impervious to unauthorized disclosures even in tumultuous times.
“We’re about to find out what our Department of Justice is made of,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) said Tuesday, though it wasn’t clear that a law was broken. “We have had an unprecedented leak. As despicable as it is dangerous.”
Other Republicans made similar comments, with Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) saying it “should be fully investigated and those responsible should be punished,” and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) calling for the leaker to be disbarred. Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) said it was an “attack on the independence of the Supreme Court by the Democrat Party and the corporate media.”
Hawley, who spoke at the Senate GOP lunch on Tuesday, was among the few Republicans actually cheering the contents of Alito’s draft. He said it was “voluminously researched, tightly argued, and morally powerful.”
Democrats largely took an inverse approach, acknowledging concerns about the breach but pivoting quickly to the details of the opinion. They argued that their GOP colleagues’ laser focus on the disclosure itself is an acknowledgment that Republicans’ views on abortion are unpopular with voters.
“Republicans are spending all their focus on the leak because they don’t want to focus on Roe v. Wade, where they know they’re on the wrong side of history and on the wrong side of the American people,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said.
If the conservative majority affirms its substance in a matter of weeks, when the court officially is set to release its final ruling, many in President Joe Biden’s party warned that the loss of abortion rights would create widespread fear and chaos.
“I don’t condone the leaking of internal Supreme Court documents. Senator Kennedy’s correct; it is unprecedented,” said Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin (D-Ill.). “I don’t know who leaked the opinion or why. But I know today women and men across this country are grappling with the real concern and the fear that they can lose a critical constitutional right in a matter of weeks.”
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) sharply rejected Durbin’s position.
“To suggest that the true injury here is that inflicted by this opinion gets it completely, 180 degrees backward,” he said, saying it’s urgent to “protect and defend the legitimacy of the court” regardless of views on its individual decisions.
Many on the left speculated that POLITICO’s story would in fact benefit those seeking to overturn Roe because it would harden the position of the four justices reported to have joined Alito’s opinion: Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett and Clarence Thomas. But neither Democrats nor Republicans opining about the breach suggested they knew the identity of the person who disclosed the draft opinion.
And in the absence of evidence, GOP lawmakers hammered on the unproven assumption that the breach was orchestrated by the left in a bid to intimidate conservative justices to back off their opinion.
Republicans have long decried breaches of information in high-profile matters, often presuming the sources without direct evidence. For example, during Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election — when his team of prosecutors almost never commented on their work — Republican lawmakers often accused his team of leaks.
Kennedy, speaking at a Judiciary Committee hearing on judicial ethics Tuesday morning, called on the FBI to investigate every person who had access to the draft.
His comments prompted Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) to note that such a probe would raise significant separation of powers concerns — with executive branch agents interviewing “clerks and staff and justices themselves.” Kennedy said the Supreme Court’s own police force could partner with the FBI to mitigate those concerns.
Whitehouse also wondered, pointedly, what law the so-called leaker could be investigated for violating.

The EU is has drawn up new rules that could push up the cost of a mortgage in the UK - and stop thousands of people being able to remortgage to a better deal.
The Mortgage Credit Directive is intended to protect borrowers, by stopping them from taking mortgages on that they will not be able to afford. When it comes into effect in March next year, it will introduce affordability tests, which are intended to ensure that no matter what is thrown at them, homeowners will be able to maintain their mortgage repayments.
The problem is that in the UK, borrowers already have to go through these tests when they borrow for the first time. The new rule will mean they also have to do so when they remortgage - unless they remortgage with the same lender - and it's arguable whether that's helpful.
If someone wants to remortgage to a cheaper deal, you have to ask why they should have to prove that they can afford something that's cheaper than the payment they've been successfully paying for years. It begs the question of whether their track record ought to speak for itself.
Certainly the government is unconvinced. In its consultation on implementing the directive it said: "The UK government does not believe that the MCD offers many benefits to UK consumers beyond those already provided by the high level of protection offered by the existing FCA regime for mortgages. However, it does add a number of costs to UK industry."
The Building Societies Association agrees, adding: "It adds no additional benefit to UK consumers and risks adding cost and complexity to the mortgage application process."
Ray Boulger, an expert with brokers Jon Charcol told The Times that not only is it more expensive for the industry, but it will cause problems for some buyers too - and could make their mortgage much pricier.
Those who are affected will be those who are remortgaging, who will have to go through new strict affordability tests. If they fail these, they will not be able to remortgage with any firm other than their current lender.
This means they will not be able to access the cheapest deals on the market - many of which are only available to new customers. Boulger calculated that this could cost someone with a £250,000 mortgage more than £2,500 over the next two years.
The Association of Mortgage Intermediaries chief executive Robert Sinclair told Mortgage Strategy: "This is an issue where European legislation has made it worse for UK consumers – there is no doubt about that."

Gender and Social Issues in Drama
Looks at gender and social issues in drama as pioneered by Caryl Churchill's "Cloud Nine" and David Henry Hwang's "M. Butterfly".

This paper first describes Caryl Churchill's satirical play "Cloud Nine", which comments on colonial and gender oppression in an African country, during the nineteenth century that is ruled by Britain. The paper then relates the story of "M. Butterfly", by the first Asian-American playwright to win universal success, David Henry Hwang. This story is about a French male diplomat and a Chinese actor/opera singer, who masqueraded as a woman. These plays, the paper concludes, opened doors for other playwrights, such as Tony Kushner in his play "Angels in America: Millenium", to explore the world of homosexuality especially in reference to AIDS.
From the Paper:"Hwang wasn't too far off in his depiction of Song or in his idea that gender is wholly a product of socialization that is open to interpretation. In her book, "Paradoxes of Gender", Judith Lorber talks about the xanith form, an accepted third gender in Oman, an Islamic, gender-segregated society. The xanith are male homosexual prostitutes that dress in masculine clothes (however in pastel colors, rather than white worn by men). Their mannerisms are female. They are usually married to women and in their household they perform the duties of the man and the wife."

2022 CHAMPION SUPREME GRADE V!
Midwest Pipe Band Association
WE DID IT! Our partnership with Grand Traverse Pipes & Drums, calling ourselves the Spirit of Michigan Pipes & Drums has yielded Grade V Champion Supreme championship. Champion Supreme goes to the band with the overall points total for MWPBA events. Come be a part of it!
Motor City Pipes & Drums was founded in the fall of 2017 by a few seasoned pipers and drummers with the goal of becoming a skilled competition band. Our mission is to carry on the tradition of our mentor, the late Pipe Major William O’Donnell, who inspired us to be the best we could be, while sharing the love of Scottish music and the bagpipe in a family-friendly atmosphere.
Our ranks continue to grow and we are in the process of recruiting skilled pipers and drummers in order to put together a winning band for next season and beyond. We will also be offering lessons beginning this fall. We practice in Troy, Michigan weekly on Tuesday nights, which allows us more personal time on the weekends for family and personal gigs. If you think you might be a good fit, don't hesitate to contact us.


Subhira, one of the most innovative bands from Chile bring their unique blend of World, Latin American and Contemporary Acoustic Music to Sound Symposium. The band is composed of electric cellist Juan Angel Moñoz, violinist Danka Villanueva, film maker and percussionist Emai Cepeda, and Subhira Rodrigo Cepeda on piano, keyboards, didgeridoo, and ethnic instruments.
Subhira graduated with a degree in Composition from the Modern School of Music in 1995 and with a post-graduate and a Master of the Arts/Composition degree from the Universidad de Chile. He has composed and produced fifteen albums of his own projects and more than forty for other artists (for TV, documentaries, and movies). He is frequently touring in Chile, Europe and abroad with his Quartet. He is a Professor of Composition in the Modern School of Music. He produces and conducts the ADN Radio show “Mundovivo, Music for a Better Living” and is the programmer and director of the World Music Festival of Las Condes in Santiago, Chile.
This interview has been edited for length and concision.
Annie Corrigan: It’s incredible to know that you’ll be coming to Newfoundland from Chile. What do you expect from your visit to Newfoundland?
Subhira: It’s even more incredible for us! Is kind of crossing the whole planet from pole to pole. Maybe that’s why there’s such an interesting connection between people from Chile and Canada? I feel it with my many Canadian friends living here in Chile and I felt it last year when I went to Montreal and met so many nice people.
AC: In addition to your own music, you write music for other artists, documentaries, movies, etc. How is the creative process different when you’re producing music for someone else?
Subhira: Well, it’s very different. I can find different approaches to composing and producing music in my professional life. One is my art music, which has already been very diverse throughout time. I’ve composed experimental, modal and tonal music, contemporary new music for different ensembles and formations, acoustic, electronic, popular, folk. But what is and has been my passion is trance and first nations connection to music.
On the other hand when I work for scoring is a total different story. There, music is a part of something else. A whole that is made of many parts and music helps them to blend and flow. There you work and put all you can into the final goal; what the director of the movie wants to get. What the script wants. What the dancers need to express, or the scene needs. You are part of a team and music is not everything.
AC: You will be performing in a traditional concert hall and then in a local pub. Will the venue influence your performance?
Subhira: I actually have two projects with my music so it fits perfect for both dates. One is the concert music which is some of the music I compose and can be very silent or very experimental and intense. On this repertoire we are playing now i selected mostly music inspired on Chilean first nations. Not traditional, but what this cultures that are part of my genes and history brings out from me as an artist. There are rhythms, modes, representations of visions.
And the other project I’ve been working on since 2002 (Transubhiriano) explores into trance. I use electronics here, and rhythms from Afro-Brasil, Arabic, urban and a lot from Chilean first nations, specially Mapuche and Aymara. In the club we hope people will have a good time dancing.
AC: Talk to us about the didgeridoo. I think your group will be the only one playing this instrument. When did you start playing it and why do you enjoy playing it?
Subhira: When I first started playing Didgeridoo in 1991, it was quite unknown in Chile and some other countries where i would go. I learned it from an Australian environmentalist who visited Chilean rainforest and I was totally blown away with it’s sound! It transported me. Went to different classes and workshops in different countries and played it for hours and hours for many years. It has everything to do with my search for trance. Is a totally trance instrument. I must say I’ve had mystic trips with this instrument. Is an incredible instrument.

Indians shut out Amherst, Tomahawk
By Greg Seubert
It’s not easy to score on the Weyauwega-Fremont softball team.
Tomahawk and Amherst learned that lesson the hard way, as neither team could get a run on the Indians in the regional round of the WIAA state tournament.
W-F shut out Tomahawk 2-0 May 26 to win a Division 3 regional championship and opened postseason play May 23 with a 5-0 win over Amherst. The second-seeded Indians faced top-seeded Oconto May 30 on the Blue Devils’ home field.
The winner of that game will face Southern Door or Kewaunee at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, June 1, in a sectional final in Chilton. The sectional champion will then advance to state, scheduled for Thursday to Saturday, June 8-10, at Goodman Diamond in Madison.
W-F 2, Tomahawk 0
Cadyn Ehrenberg struck out 10 batters, held the Hatchets to two hits and drove in both ot the Indians’ runs with a home run.
The game remained scoreless until Taylor Folk singled in the bottom of the sixth inning before Ehrenberg’s homer.
Tomahawk had a baserunner with one out in the seventh, but Ehrenberg struck out the next two batters to end the game.
W-F 5, Amherst 0
Kiley Akey picked up the win on the mound for the Indians in a rematch of Central Wisconsin 8 Conference teams.

Second Amendment shall not be infringed
Prominent liberals on Twitter are once again calling for gun control following the tragic shooting at a Florida High School that left as many as 17 dead.
Predictably, the usual suspects emerged to exploit the tragic event, as they often do, by voicing their disdain for the Second Amendment.
Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) even went the Senate floor to call on Congress for gun control just hours after the tragedy.
CNN contributor Joan Walsh went as far as to accuse the National Rifle Association of funding the massacre with taxpayer money.
“Happy Valentine’s Day to the NRA and NRATV. The Parkland shooting is the gift your tax dollars paid for,” she tweeted Wednesday.
Once again, the left fails to realize this is a mental health issue, not a gun issue, but that debate isn’t politically expedient.
The shooter, identified as 19-year-old Nicolas Cruz, was known by peers as a “troubled” person, and school authorities had already flagged him as a potential threat last year.
“We were told last year that he wasn’t allowed on campus with a backpack on him,” said math teacher Jim Gard, who said Cruz had been in his class last year. “There were problems with him last year threatening students, and I guess he was asked to leave campus.”
One student interviewed near the school after evacuating said that “everyone predicted” Cruz would snap.
“Honestly, a lot of people were saying it was gonna be him,” he said. “A lot of kids joked on him like that, saying that he was going to be the one to shoot up the school, but it turns out, you know…everyone predicted it.”

PARIS – The pressure to switch to electric mobility is rising along with petroleum prices as a result of political unrest in the Middle Eastern countries of Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Bahrain and Yemen.
While only Libya is a major oil producer, the fragile political situation threatens economic recovery in North America and Europe.
To address short-term supply problems, the Paris-based International Energy Agency is ready to ask members of the Organization of Economically Developed Countries to put some of their 1.6 billion barrels (254.4 million L) of petroleum reserves on the market.
In the long-term, the IEA aims to see 5 million electric vehicles on the world’s roads by 2020 and sales of 50 million EVs annually – half the global fleet – by 2050.
“The push for electric cars is not only driven by climate change,” Fatih Birol, chief economist at the IEA, tells Ward’s in an interview.
“The country which makes the biggest push in electric cars is today China, and it is mainly driven by oil security concerns, moving from an oil-based mobility system to an electricallybased mobility system.”
The IEA has published a roadmap for EV proliferation that outlines the steps necessary to achieve the 2050 goal, which would result in a 30% reduction in carbon-dioxide emissions from the transportation sector compared with current levels.
This is despite the growth in worldwide population and the need to continue using liquid fossil fuels for shipping, over-the-road trucking and airline transportation.
“The current system is unsustainable from an economic point of view,” says IEA Deputy Executive Director Richard Jones. “We think the kind of economic effects that we went through in 2008 will become more likely in the future if we continue to rely on fossil fuels. And of course, the security issue is closely related to the economic issue.”
The world will remain dependent on fossil fuels for decades, as current vehicles and fossil-fuel power plants are not going to be scrapped, Jones says. “But we also know that if we don’t start moving toward alternate technologies now, they will always be unaffordable for us in the future.”
The IEA roadmap for EVs has been adopted by some members of the Clean Energy Ministerial, which is made up of a score of countries including founders, the U.S. and China. That group has established the “Electric Vehicle Initiative” to coordinate activities.
“We project that by 2050 we need hundreds of millions of electric vehicles on the road, all electric and plug-in electric hybrids,” Jones says.
“The focus of the Electric Vehicle Initiative is to get electric vehicles on the road by 2020, and so far the announced targets are a little more than 6 million vehicles. If you believe the ramp-up will be exponential, it is a very good leg up.”
The IEA believes battery costs have to drop from the current $500-800 per kWh to $300-400 by 2020, and alternatives to lithium-ion batteries need to be found for the future.
The rate of change in vehicle technology foreseen by the IEA’s road map is unprecedented. “To achieve such a scenario, strong policies will be needed from governments around the world,” the organization says.
The IEA believes plug-in vehicles will achieve higher volumes than pure EVs until well into the century, mainly because they are less dependent on a recharging infrastructure.
Industry observers long have contended battery costs and capacity are deterrents to widespread EV adoption. The IEA’s road map assumes that removing the internal-combustion drivetrain will save $4,000 per electric vehicle as compared with plug-ins, and that the power-oriented batteries will cost 1.3 to 1.5 times more per kWh for plug-ins than the energy-oriented batteries for EVs.
Still, because smaller batteries can be used for plug-ins, the total vehicle cost can be lower.
The roadmap assumes that EVs have an average range of 150 km (90 miles) with 30 kWh of batteries, which translates to a battery cost for such a vehicle of $15,000. EVs would save the $4,000 in powertrain costs, and fuel savings would total $2,000-$4,000.
Plug-ins will have to be capable of repeated deep discharges, unlike current hybrid-electric vehicles. The IEA assumes a medium-range plug-in vehicle with an electric driving range of 40 km (25 miles) needs 8 kWh of battery costing about $6,000.
|Note: In millions. Source: IEA|
“Without discounting, a vehicle driven 200,000 km (124,274 miles) over its lifetime might save $4,000 in fuel costs, the IEA says. “This saving is not enough to offset such a high battery cost.
“However, if battery costs for plug-in hybrid vehicles can be reduced to about $500/kWh in the future, the resulting battery cost per medium-range vehicle (about $4,000 for an 8 kWh system) could be competitive.”
The IEA assumes that plug-ins will outsell EVs until about 2050. In 2020, it predicts EV sales will reach 2.5 million units and plug-ins, 4.7 million.
Although engineers are developing the products, electric-mobility expansion “will be primarily driven by infrastructure investment,” says the IEA. “National governments can help coordinate early adoption sites, targeting large cities and urban areas that have ample recharging access.”
For the coming decade, the IEA is recommending three broad policies.
“There is no barrel of oil that is cheaper than the barrel you don’t use; there is no barrel that is more secure than the one you don’t need; and there is no barrel that is cleaner than the one you don’t burn,” says Jones.
“So first is energy efficiency. The next step that we urge is decarbonization of power generation to the maximum extent possible, through nuclear power, through renewables, through carbon capture and storage.
“The final (step) is the revolution in transportation, particularly electric vehicles,” he says. “So we very much recognize that you have to de-carbonize power, otherwise…you still have all the negative impacts of burning fossil fuels.”

Bucs can't let O-line woes become a season-long problem
TAMPA, Fla. -- Early Friday night, after each Josh McCown scramble and instance of a Jacksonville Jaguars defensive lineman tearing through the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' top offense, it became obvious that Lovie Smith had a problem.
A rough showing should have been expected from the Bucs in their first preseason game under their new leader, especially with so much change in a philosophical and psychological overhaul since January. But the offensive line went from a question mark to a reason to cringe in one ugly, frightful opening quarter at EverBank Field.
This was the hard truth as the Bucs practiced again Sunday: The issue is beyond a quick fix. Should the problem persist, they should look beyond their facility for at least one answer at guard before Week 1.
''We realized we had problems with protection and just some of our offensive line play,'' Smith said Sunday. ''But you have to get in a game situation to see some of these things. The depth chart hasn't really meant a lot until this past week's game. Now, it does mean a little bit more, because we have something concrete to kind of go off as a starting spot, which we've done. We'll continue to work different combinations for a lot of positions.''
Smith is right about one thing. Early August is no time to overreact, a message he made clear Saturday when he spoke to reporters gathered at One Buc Place like a teacher might when trying to calm a group of unruly students: ''Don't overreact is what I would say. You guys don't lead the charge to start overreacting.''
Yes, it's no time to dash the optimism that came with Smith's hire, just because McCown resembled a rabbit in a fox's line of sight when completing 2 of 4 passes for 20 yards with one interception. Yes, it's no time to spike the hope that came with Smith's arrival, just because guards Jamon Meredith and Oniel Cousins became swinging gates of opportunity for Jaguars pass rushers. Yes, it's no time to charge Raymond James Stadium with pitchforks and lit torches, just because tackle Anthony Collins allowed a sack and no one on the first-team line played well besides tackle Demar Dotson and center Evan Dietrich-Smith.
Yet, doubts about the offensive line will continue to hang over the Bucs until they get this right. Sunday, Jace Daniels -- yes, the same Jace Daniels who spent Weeks 6-17 on the Bucs' practice squad last season -- lined up as a first-team guard along with Cousins.
The development drew predictable reaction from social media on a lazy Sunday afternoon. ''Say what?'' became a common response, one that's fair and understandable given the Bucs' chemistry-lab approach to their guard situation after Friday, where statements like ''nothing is permanent'' and ''working different combinations'' is Smith's way to describe the reality.
''Nothing is permanent,'' Smith said. ''We're working different combinations right now. That's all we've done. Jamon didn't play as well this game, but he's still in the mix. He's been playing guard and tackle. He'll continue. We'll just let him concentrate on one position a little bit more right now. But, yes, nothing is etched in stone right now.''
Nothing will be settled soon. The reality is no position for Tampa Bay looked Week 1-ready on Friday night, an observation that should shock no one.
The offensive line's problems received most of the alarm because there have been concerns about that group, specifically at guard, since the opening hours of Smith's arrival here. Friday's results only confirmed the worries.
However, a correction most likely will require savvy shopping, not a duct-tape repair job. It's hard to watch Friday's leaks and not think at least one of the Bucs' answers at guard, for now, lives outside Tampa. Smith and general manager Jason Licht will have hard questions to answer if the Bucs' first-team offensive line struggles against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday night. A repeat of Friday's performance can't be excused.
''Don't be discouraged,'' Cousins said, when asked what he'd tell the fans about Friday's outcome. ''I take it personally. I'm going to do everything I can in my part of the team ... to help the team win. We've just got to continue to chop wood and just continue to get better.''
''That was the first preseason game,'' Daniels said. ''Every team is rusty.''
What Smith must avoid is allowing the offensive line's rust to become permanent corrosion, damage that will crack the visions he and offensive coordinator Jeff Tedford have for their team: An uptempo attack that maximizes the potential of McCown, wide receiver Vincent Jackson, running back Doug Martin and others. The sight Friday isn't sustainable. Smith has been around the NFL long enough to understand.
''We'll put it on our shoulders,'' Cousins said. ''The offensive unit, the offensive line, we felt like that game was on us. We feel like we have to play better.''
There's no need to overreact, but the questions and concern should continue.
There's no need to panic, but healthy skepticism should remain.
The offensive line's play will continue to be watched, the growth paramount to the Bucs' success this year. For them, an early August problem can't become a season-long identity.

Workers have threatened to shut down Nigeria’s Port sector if President Bola Tinubu fails to reverse the 50 per cent automatic deduction from revenue accrued to the Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA.
The Senior Staff Association of Statutory Corporations and Government-Owned Companies, SSASCGOC, Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria, and MWUN, made the threat in a statement on Monday.
Leaders of the two unions, Akinola Bodunde of SSASCGOC and Adewale Adeyanju of MWUN, noted that they have written a letter to the President regarding the development.
The unions warned that failure to rescind the decision would lead to workers’ withdrawal and total shutdown of ports nationwide.
The workers insisted on a 30 per cent deduction from NPA’s revenue instead of 50 per cent.
“Automatic deduction of 50 per cent of its internally generated revenue shall leave the Authority financially incapacitated to discharge these responsibilities to the host community, which may lead them to resort to unhealthy activities.
“We recommend that 30 per cent of the revenue internally generated by the Authority could be automatically deducted whilst 70 per cent is left for the Authority to accomplish its overhead costs and statutory responsibilities, failure of which the Union would have no other option than to withdraw the services of its members from all Ports formations nationwide.”
DAILY POST recalls that in January this year, the Nigerian Government ordered funded Federal Government Agencies/Parastatals and enterprises to immediately remit 50 per cent of their gross Internally Generated Revenue, IGR, to the Federation Account.


RIVERDALE — Clayton County Public Schools will kick off the 2019-20 school year on Aug. 5.
To get kids and parents ready, the district is hosting its 3rd Annual Back to School Bash on July 27 from 9 a.m. to noon at Charles Drew High School and Southern Crescent Stadium, 6237 Garden Walk Blvd. in Riverdale.
There will be food, games, information, give-a-ways and more. Students should bring their 2018-19 end of year report card to receive give-a-ways. Attendees are asked to register at the following link: tinyurl.com/CCPSBack2SchoolBash.
For more information, contact Alicia Dunn at 770-473-2700 or email at firstname.lastname@example.org.
Then on July 28, Commissioner Gail Hambrick is also hosting a Back to School Bash from 4-7 p.m. at Flat Shoals Park, 1915 Flat Shoals Road in Riverdale. A free shuttle service will be provided.
There will be school supplies, bounce houses, haircuts, games, food and music. Free backpacks are limited to two per household while supplies last. Attendees must show proof of residency.


Tom Bannon of Anderson-Madison County Visitor’s Bureau agreed with Sparks, and said the project could positively affect the entire county, not just Anderson.
”It’s another component we can add close to Mounds State Park. It can add businesses, adds to quality of life. It adds more to do,” Bannon said.
The project is still in Phase I, according to Sparks. In a recent interview with The Herald Bulletin, he said he hopes to soon have about $600,000 shored up to perform a feasibility study for the reservoir. He’s hoping to secure the funds through a combination of grants and private donors. Once the study is done, Sparks said, he hopes the project will move to the next phase.
One of the other major issues Sparks addressed was the possible pollution concerns that could come from the project. He said many of those concerns will be identified by the feasibility study, but admitted there could be significant investigation and excavation of possible problem spots to eliminate potential problems.
“I don’t want to scare anyone, but I want to be realistic,” Sparks said.
The panel also indicated that while the reservoir will be compared to peer projects like Geist and Morse reservoirs, they also want to use the shortcomings of those projects as a benchmark for what not to do. Kyle Morey of Madison County Chamber of Commerce, said one shortfall of Geist Reservoir, in particular, is that the shoreline is almost entirely privately owned. Sparks said the Mounds Reservoir Commission will work to maintain plenty of public access points for the reservoir to eliminate a feel of exclusivity.

I’m a big fan of the Casino Club, a group of friends I belong to who like to play games with a high-stakes betting edge. I remember playing with them on a recent night and being blown away by the fact that they had a chance of winning a huge prize.
It turns out that the group of friends I’m in the club with has a very active social media presence, and they have a very active Facebook page. They’ve even started a website to promote their Vegas-themed party. They’re also in the process of creating a podcast, so hopefully the content will be good.
I hope so, but I can’t really say if they do. I’ve always thought of the game as being played on a high-stakes betting edge, but I’m not sure if Im going to be able to keep up with them. I’m just going to have to play with my friends to see how they do.
For the most part, I feel the game is fairly balanced. I can see that the game is too easy in some situations, but I dont think its as easy to get addicted as a lot of the other games out there. I feel that more people should consider playing the game, because it might actually be fun instead of a mindless social game. Personally, I think that if it was more fun, people would play it more.
The game is just a little bit more fun to play, and I am not overly worried about that. It’s just that I prefer the game to the social game. I think it’s more fun to play the game if you can get to them and have them come in and have some fun.
I think the people who would like to play it would more likely play it if they were in a club so that when they are playing they are not so distracted.
If some of us are in a club, and not a real club, then it’s not a fun game to play. However, I think that if you’ve been in a club and you have a lot of friends who have played the game, then you just don’t want to play a game that is not fun to play.
So there may be some people who would like to play it in a club. However, I think most club owners would say that the only place they would like to play it would be in their real club (or at the very least, at a real club). Not that I am going to argue with that.
The fact that the game is being created as a club game is not only because it needs to appeal to the most people who don’t play real casino games, but also because we want to keep it free. But more than that, we just want to keep it that way. And its not because we have any sort of political or philosophical disagreement with the game, its because we need to make sure that we never give it away for free.
Fun club casino is a real-money casino game where you can get free gifts, prizes, and cash. The game is being created by a group of people calling themselves The Fun Club Casino, who have been working on it for a little over 2 years now. It features a real-time online casino, and you can also get real cash prizes. The goal of the game is to get the most cash prize for the most number of spins on the slots.


State Senators to take up tax reform bill
A state Senate panel is scheduled to hold a hearing later today on Governor Rick Snyder’s tax reform proposal. The Associated press reports:
The Reforms, Restructuring and Reinventing Committee is scheduled to take testimony Tuesday on legislation that would cut overall business taxes and lead to taxes on certain types of retirement income. The Republican-led House passed the main bill in the package by a 56-53 vote last month. The legislation will face a tough challenge in the GOP-led Senate because some Republicans already have come out against it. Some Republicans are opposed to taxing retiree income and to measures that would delay lowering the state's personal income tax rate. Democrats generally oppose the plan.

Assessing and managing risks from climate variability and change in the urban areas of the Northeast U.S. is the focus of a new Web site for the Consortium for Climate Risk in the Urban Northeast (CCRUN). The consortium includes researchers from the Earth Institute (including CIESIN), the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, City College/CUNY, Stevens Institute of Technology, and Drexel University. Using a stakeholder-driven approach to research, CCRUN researchers are examining the impacts of climate change, population growth, and urban and economic policies on communities in Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, and other urban areas in the region.
CCRUN’s initial projects focus on three main topics: water, coasts, and health, with special emphasis on community vulnerability and environmental justice. The CCRUN Web site, developed and hosted by CIESIN, provides access to project materials and information resources provided by consortium members. The site also features a gallery of maps illustrating the location of populations and infrastructure potentially vulnerable to climate change.
CCRUN is operating under a five-year award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (RISA) initiative.

I’ve got some bad news for you, California-based NHL teams. Yes, all three of you.
On Wednesday, baseball-oriented Fangraphs published a fascinating article highlighting a California law that could have major ramifications for that state’s pro sports teams that few know about. It’s a provision in the California Labor Code called Section 2855, and it’s pretty shocking (emphasis mine):
Not necessarily. A relatively obscure provision under California law — specifically, Section 2855 of the California Labor Code — limits all personal services contracts (i.e., employment contracts) in the state to a maximum length of seven years. In other words, this means that if an individual were to sign an employment contract in California lasting eight or more years, then at the conclusion of the seventh year the employee would be free to choose to either continue to honor the agreement, or else opt out and seek employment elsewhere.
Although the California legislature has previously considered eliminating this protection for certain professional athletes – including Major League Baseball players – no such amendment has passed to date. Consequently, Section 2855 would presumptively apply to any player employed by one of the five major-league teams residing in California.
Yeesh. Fangraphs applied this to Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout, who signed a six-year, $144 million extension in 2014. That’s an important to note, because it means the law doesn’t limit itself to term remaining on the contracts.
It’s not even about the contract alone. Section 2855 applies “whenever an employer has a contractual right to its worker’s services for a total of eight or more years, even if transpiring under a series of multiple contracts,” according to Fangraphs.
And, under the most strict interpretation of the provision, Fangraph explains:
... Section 2855 would allow a player to opt-out of a contract after year four of a six-year contract extension, so long as he has been employed by the team for a total of seven or more years.
- He has to have been employed by that California-based team for a total of seven or more years.
- That includes minor leagues!
- It can also include players who didn’t come up with the team but signed contracts for seven or more years.
Los Angeles Kings
Notable eligible players:
- Anze Kopitar (anytime)
- Dustin Brown (anytime)
- Jeff Carter (‘17-’18)
- Marian Gaborik (‘19-’20)
- Alec Martinez (anytime)
- Drew Doughty (anytime)
- Jake Muzzin (anytime)
- Jonathan Quick (anytime)
That’s, uh, a lot of big names.
Kopitar signed an eight-year, $80 million deal last season. He’s been under contract with the Kings organization since his draft year in 2005. So he’s been eligible to use this opt-out law for some time, now. He’s the captain and not going anywhere, though. I wouldn’t worry about him.
Nor would I worry about Doughty. The reigning Norris Trophy winner is under contract through 2018-19 at $7 million a season. Like Kopitar, the Kings have kept Doughty under contract since his 2008 draft season. He could’ve opted out two years ago. But why should he? He’s a cornerstone.
Quick might be a different case. The 30-year-old netminder is in the fourth year of a 10-year, $58 million deal. It’s already extremely unlikely that a goalie will be playing at a level worthy of that contract until he’s 36 years old, and not ridiculous to assume a divorce is inevitable at some point. Could Quick use this California law to make that split easier? We’ll see.
All three of those players were raised in the Kings’ organization. Carter and Gaborik recently signed long-term deals after being acquired through trades. Carter’s 11-year contract expires in 2021-22; Gaborik’s seven-year deal is up in ’20-21. If things turn sour, they both are close to eligibility for that labor law opt-out. Gaborik seems like the more likely one.
And Kings fans will be happy to know that the law allows Dustin Brown to part ways from the team immediately.
Notable eligible players:
- Corey Perry (anytime)
- Ryan Getzlaf (anytime)
- Ryan Kesler (‘21-’22)
- Rickard Rakell (‘19-’20)
- Hampus Lindholm (‘19-’20)
- Sami Vatanen (‘18-’19)
- Cam Fowler (‘17-’18)
- John Gibson (‘19-’20)
Perry and Getzlaf aren’t just the highest-paid players in Anaheim; they’re also the longest-tenured on a team getting younger by the year. They can opt-out anytime with this labor law, but that is entirely unlikely. Both love it there in Anaheim and might end up with their numbers retired one day.
The rest are ... interesting. The most notable name is Cam Fowler, who is eligible for this opt-out as soon as next season. His name has swirled on the trade market all season, so if that trigger gets pulled and he gets sent out of state he exits this conversation. But what a story it would be if he jumps ship before a trade ahead of his free agency year next season, eh?
Vatanen, Lindholm, and Rakell are all in their mid-20s and under new long-term contracts. Kesler has only been with the team for four years, meaning his chance to opt-out won’t come until the twilight of his career. Gibson will need an expensive extension soon, as well. Of those five, the defensemen color this hypothetical discussion the best. It’s a crowded blue-line in Anaheim. Not room for everyone.
San Jose Sharks
Notable eligible players:
- Joe Thornton (anytime)
- Patrick Marleau (anytime)
- Logan Couture (anytime)
- Joe Pavelski (anytime)
- Brent Burns (‘19-’20)
- Marc-Edouard Vlasic (anytime)
- Justin Braun (‘17-’18)
Out of all these Californian teams, the Sharks could be gutted the hardest and soonest if this was a law more players used or knew about.
Thornton is close to retiring, but the latest word is he wants a three-year deal this offseason. If that happens, he could still opt out at any point. If the Sharks also keep Marleau, he could opt out at any point. Both have spent more than a decade in Silicon Valley.
Couture isn’t going anywhere, but he could. He’s been under contract with San Jose since his 2007 draft season and won’t be a free agent until 2019-20. Pavelski and Vlasic have both been eligible for this opt-out provision since 2013. All three are key cogs in the Sharks’ machine; losing even one to this provision would be a disaster.
Burns just re-upped until 2024-25. Don’t worry about him.
* * *
In fact, I wouldn’t worry about any of these players. Fangraphs explained it best. Section 2855 has never been used in the case of a unionized employee, so it’s uncharted territory for the NHLPA and NHL. As Fangraphs suggests, the NHL could argue that the Collective Bargaining Agreement supersedes California law, but a Supreme Court decision seems to refute that idea.
Any player using this labor law would have a legitimate case.
But what a headache that would be. Per Fangraphs:
Any attempt by a player to opt-out of his contract under the provision would almost certainly be vigorously contested by the player’s team, either via arbitration or in court, a process that could potentially take years – and substantial legal fees – to resolve.
Not to mention the fact that if a player successfully uses this opt out, California teams will be hesitant to ever give long deals to players ever again. Thus, few players would go or stay there, draining three premier organizations of talent. It’s really not in anyone’s benefit to test this obscure law out.
But it’s fun to speculate about. Or fret about. Sorry, Ducks, Sharks, and Kings fans. Have a great seven years!


Bruce Brown’s 1971 documentary On Any Sunday famously captured the immense popularity of the Lake Elsinore Grand Prix. Drawing big names like Steve McQueen and racing legend Malcolm Smith to the small town outside of Los Angeles, the Elsinore GP represented the height of the dirt biking in America. Unfortunately, in the mid-’70s, the event started drawing the wrong crowd (motorcycle gangs) and organizers shut down the competition.
Fifty years later, the world is in the midst of a global pandemic, and shutdowns have threatened the future of the entire industry. During the initial COVID-19 wave in March, 2020, motorcycle dealers, manufacturers, and enthusiasts didn’t know whether the sport could weather the financial impact. However, due to other recreational limitations and social distancing mandates the public started returning to two wheels by April, 2020.
In particular, the motocross segments experienced an instant boom in sales. As a family-friendly, outdoor activity, off-road riding could be enjoyed while still adhering to health and safety guidelines. Fifty years after the peak of motocross popularity, the industry was recovering, during a pandemic, nonetheless.
To celebrate the special anniversary of the 1971 Lake Elsinore Grand Prix, KTM, Husqvarna, GASGAS, and Troy Lee Designs are partnering with Ride Motorcycles to produce a video series capturing the landmark year. Aptly named The Year of Jubilee, the three-part miniseries tells the story of manufacturers, riders, and the families doing what they love through the most adverse circumstances.
Released April 9, 2021, the first episode dives into the trials and tribulations of young motocross racers at the annual Loretta Lynn’s AMA Amateur National Championship. Future installments will focus on Pro Supercross and Motocross circuits, but if the sport can grow during such a challenging time, who knows how big it can grow in the coming years.

A casino online is a website that lets players play casino games and interact with live dealers. Its popularity has increased in recent years due to the ease of use and convenience it provides. However, you should keep in mind that it is still possible to lose money when gambling online. To avoid this, you should always have a clear plan of action before playing. You should also make sure that you have enough funds to cover your losses if you do not win.
Online casinos offer a variety of casino games and slot machines. They are usually easy to play and provide a high return to player ratio. Some of them even feature multiple jackpots. These games can be played on a computer or mobile device. Many of them are free to play, but some require a real-money deposit. In either case, you should check the terms and conditions carefully before making a deposit.
The first thing to consider when choosing an online casino is its software. It is important to choose a site that uses software from a reputable provider, like Microgaming and NetEnt, so you can be sure of a high-quality gaming experience. Moreover, it is also a good idea to read reviews of different online casinos before you decide which one to join.
Another factor to consider when choosing an online casino is its security. You should look for a secure SSL connection, which protects your personal and financial information from hackers. Additionally, you should look for a website that accepts your preferred payment methods. Some of these methods include PayPal, which is a convenient way to fund your account. Others include eWallets and online bank transfers. In addition, you should ensure that the website has a high level of encryption.
A regulated online casino should have a variety of banking options. Some of these may include PayPal, an eWallet service that allows you to send and receive money over the internet. Some of these services also allow you to link your online banking account to the casino, so that you can move money quickly and easily between the two accounts.
In the United States, regulated online casinos have to be licensed and approved by state regulators. This is to ensure that they are following strict regulations for protecting customer data and providing fair game play. These sites must also follow state laws regarding how they are advertised.
Casino online has become a popular pastime in the US, but you should be aware of the risks before you start playing. It is also important to play for fun and not as a means to get rich quick. Before you deposit your hard-earned cash, you should be familiar with the rules and regulations of the casino you are playing at.
The best regulated casino online will have a wide range of games, including video poker and table games. The casino will also have a generous welcome bonus for new players. The welcome package will include free spins, extra casino chips, and more. These bonuses are designed to attract more players and keep existing ones coming back for more.
