Neytiri te Tskaha Mo'at’ite is the Na'vi princess of the Omaticaya clan. She is the second-born daughter of Eytukan and Mo'at and younger sister of Sylwanin. She meets Jake Sully in a Pandoran forest, helping him when he is attacked by a pack of viperwolves. Neytiri soon becomes Jake's teacher and helps him to complete several tasks. Eventually, they fall in love and mate under the Trees of Voices. Neytiri fights alongside Jake in the Assault on the Tree of Souls and saves him from being killed by Miles Quaritch. She will be the future Tsahìk of the clan, with her mate, Jake, as Olo'eyktan.
Neytiri Meets Jake SullyEdit
One day while Neytiri is hunting in the woods, she spots an avatar and begins to stalk him. As she is about to kill the armed intruder with a bow, a woodsprite floats down and gently touches her arrowhead, telling her that the avatar is pure. She continues to follow the avatar because of this symbol. When the avatar is attacked by a pack of viperwolves, she protects him by fending off the creatures. The avatar, whose name is Jake Sully, tries to thank her for the assistance, but Neytiri angrily rejects him as she is forced to kill three of the viperwolves to protect him (all creatures are considered by the Na'vi to be children of Eywa). Jake asks why she saved him, and she says it is because he has a strong and fearless heart. Suddenly, dozens of woodsprites land on Jake. Amazed by what she just witnessed, Neytiri sees this as a good omen from Eywa and decides to take him to Hometree; the home of the Omaticaya clan.
Teaching Jake to be an OmaticayaEdit
As Neytiri guides Jake through the forest, Tsu'tey and his cavalry of hunters ambush Jake, but Neytiri intervenes and explains that there has been a sign from Eywa and that Mo'at, the Tsahìk of the clan and Neytiri's mother, should decide Jake's fate. Escorting Jake to see Mo'at and the clan leader and Neytiri's father, Eytukan, the latter becomes angry at the fact that Neytiri brought Jake to Hometree because he had expressly forbidden humans from entering his people's land. In spite of this, Mo'at feels purity in Jake after an inspection and orders Neytiri to teach him "the ways of The People", so that the clan may learn more about his role as a warrior. A shocked and angry Neytiri reluctantly obeys to the command and guides a clueless Jake to an evening gathering in the clan before sleeping. The next day follows with Neytiri teaching a persevering Jake how to create tsaheylu, the bond, to ride a direhorse: a horse-like creature the size of an elephant. She also teaches him the Na'vi language, how to use a bow, how to move stealthily and balanced as Na'vi, how to kill an animal with the appropriate respect, etc. Most important is the preparation for the taming of Jake's own banshee; a rite of passage for all Na'vi at some stage in youth. During this time, Neytiri's resentment towards Jake diminishes and they gradually start to fall in love.
After much preparation, Neytiri notions to Jake that he is ready to tame his own banshee. Jake, Tsu'tey, and two other Na'vi initiates climb Iknimaya (the path to heaven) in the Hallelujah Mountains, to the Banshee Rookery, where Neytiri meets up with them on Seze, her own banshee. When Jake tames and tentatively flies his own banshee -- nearly falling to his death in the process -- Neytiri is very proud, and their relationship begins to flourish, much to the disdain of Tsu'tey. Jake undergoes the ceremony where Eytukan considers him as one of their own, a part of The People and the entire clan accepts with the symbolical joining of hands, while Grace and Neytiri look on. Later, after taking him to the Trees of Voices, Neytiri informs Jake that he may carve his own bow from Hometree and may choose a woman; naming a few potential mates while looking away. Jake rejects them, expressing that he has already chosen a mate; "but this woman must also choose me". Neytiri replies, saying that she had already accepted Jake's proposal. She then initiates the Na'vi mating ritual by joining their queues. After they perform the custom, they spend the night together under a Tree of Voices.
The Destruction of HometreeEdit
When Neytiri wakes the morning after she and Jake mate, she discovers the forest being torn down by several RDA bulldozers, destroying the Na'vi location they had spent the night under: the Trees of Voices. Neytiri can't wake Jake, as he terminated the link when he had fallen asleep the night before. When he finally reconnects with his avatar, he quickly destroys one bulldozer's cameras in an attempt to get them to stop. Returning to the Hometree, Tsu'tey recognizes that Neytiri and Jake have mated, and confronts Jake. When Mo'at questions her, Neytiri explains that she and Jake are mated for life, and it can't be changed. Jake tries to explain his true mission, but before anything can happen, the avatar bodies of Jake and Grace fall to the ground. Tsu'tey tries to kill Jake, but Neytiri protects her mate's avatar.
When Jake and Grace return in their avatar forms, Jake explains that the RDA is coming to destroy Hometree and reveals that he was sent by the RDA to learn their ways in order to convince them to leave Hometree. Upon realizing that Jake knew about the RDA's intentions all along, a distraught Neytiri furiously rejects him, and the Na'vi subsequently take Jake and Grace captive before preparing for the defense of their home. Colonel Quaritch's hostile SecOps force arrives at Hometree and proceeds to fire gas into the settlement. The Na'vi, with the use of bows and arrows, make a futile stand against the humans, but are quickly overwhelmed. When the fleet switches to incendiary missiles, the Na'vi flee into the forest. Hometree is destroyed by the high-explosive rocket fire, and many Na'vi are killed. As Neytiri searches for her father, Eytukan, she finds him impaled on a shard of wood. Before he dies, he hands Neytiri his bow and tells her to protect the clan, leaving her devastated. Jake approaches Neytiri and tries to comfort her, but she angrily pushes him away, screaming at him to never come back.
Gathering All Na'vi Clans For BattleEdit
Neytiri, Mo'at, Tsu'tey and the surviving tribe members go to the Tree of Souls, where they begin to pray to Eywa. Meanwhile, Jake devises a plan to come back to the tribe not only to help them against the RDA, but also to try and prevent Grace from dying. Jake manages to bond with the feared great leonopteryx, becoming the sixth Toruk Makto. The Omaticaya, along with Neytiri, are in awe and accept Jake again, as he has become Toruk Makto, a leader that can save them from the humans. Also, Neytiri and the rest of the Omaticaya see that he has not betrayed the Na'vi, but has rather come to see that the Sky People are destroying all that is good on Pandora, and that he is now, as Toruk Makto, truly one of the People. Neytiri slowly approaches Jake and says "I See you", a Na'vi greeting meaning "I see who you truly are", and Jake says it back to her. Remorseful for her previous behavior, she tells him that she was afraid for her people until Jake's return.
Neytiri witnesses Jake's speech in front of the survivors of the Omaticaya clan with growing excitement. After the speech and with a plan of how to strike against the RDA, Jake takes her to the waiting great leonopteryx. With both on its back the giant creature sets off for the other Na'vi villages, followed by many Omaticaya warriors on their banshees. Neytiri passionately aids Jake in translating his call to battle for the members of the distant clans.
The Final BattleEdit
When Quaritch's forces appear, over two thousand Na'vi warriors led by Jake and Tsu'tey take to the skies and attack the fleet, causing huge losses on both sides. As the battle wages on, the Na'vi begin to retreat before the might of the RDA's forces. Attempting to escape from a pursuing Samson, Neytiri flies low over the battle on the ground and is shot at by Lyle Wainfleet in an AMP suit. Thrown to the ground after falling to the jungle floor below, Neytiri survives uninjured, but Seze is killed by the AMP. Neytiri attempts to flee from the advancing ground forces and hides behind a tree, with Quaritch's soldiers bearing down on her, preventing her from escaping. When all things seem bleak, the native wildlife of Pandora strike back in force, signaling that Jake's earlier plea to Eywa for help was not unheard. The ground and aerial troops are scattered by the wildlife and destroyed, while the Valkyrie shuttle carrying the explosives is destroyed by Jake before it reaches the Tree of Souls. A thanator then finds Neytiri in the jungle, and allows her to ride it through tsaheylu. Jake manages to bring down Quaritch's Dragon, but the Colonel manages to get into his AMP and escape the ship's destruction. Quaritch finds the camp containing the avatar link units by chance, where Neytiri engages him on the back of her thanator. However, Quaritch kills the thanator with his AMP suit knife and is about to kill Neytiri when Jake arrives in his avatar form to challenge him. As they fight, Jake destroys the AMP's life support but is caught in the suit's grip. Neytiri saves Jake by shooting two arrows into Quaritch's chest, killing the Colonel. The camp is damaged during Quaritch's attack and exposes the interior and its inhabitant to the toxic Pandoran atmosphere, leaving Jake's human body suffocating. After Neytiri kills Quaritch, she holds Jake's avatar body and realizes that he isn't there. She then rushes into the link shack and finds Jake's real body lying on the floor, unconscious. She holds him in her arms and puts an exopack on his face, saving his life. Jake is able to breathe again and he puts his hand on her cheek and says "I See you". Neytiri starts to cry and responds with "I See you" as she holds his hand closer to her cheek and closes her eyes. This is the first time she sees him in his human form. This permanently reaffirms their love for each other, as the Na'vi often see humans as demons or evil.
Jake's New Life as a Na'viEdit
Having put an end to the RDA's attack, the Na'vi round up the remaining humans to be sent back to Earth, while allowing a handful to stay with them on Pandora. This includes Norm Spellman and Dr. Max Patel. Jake decides to stay in his avatar form forever, and concludes his final entry log of his experiences on his birthday. Returning to the Tree of Souls, he undergoes the consciousness transfer from his human body to his avatar form. With Neytiri watching over Jake's two bodies during the process, he awakens to a new life as a Na'vi.
Personality and traitsEdit
Neytiri respects the Na'vi way of life and is careful to obey their laws and traditions. She doesn't like to kill if she can help it and is angry with Jake Sully for forcing her to kill viperwolves in order to save him.
Like her mate, Neytiri is brave, loyal and strong-willed. She is devoted to her people and is willing to put herself in a dangerous situation for the sake of her clan. At one point, she plans to take on a group of AMP suits and human soldiers single handedly, even though she knows it's suicide. Neytiri isn't someone who would just blindly follow orders and has been known to disobey her parents and her mate. She disobeys Mo'at and Eytukan by mating for life with Jake and later she disobeys Jake when he orders her to retreat from advancing human troops (as Toruk Makto, Jake is technically higher ranked than Neytiri during the final battle), which would have resulted in her death if Eywa hadn't sent the Pandoran wildlife to attack the RDA.
Neytiri is also wise far beyond her years, and can see past a person's physical flaws to the heart within. This is proven by her relationship with Jake Sully; she falls in love with him because of his strong heart, and even when she sees him in his human form, she doesn't stop loving him.
Neytiri has a tendency to get angry when people close to her do wrong or when others try to offend or harm her loved ones. When Tsu'tey tries to kill Jake's unconscious body, she attacks Tsu'tey, flinging him away, and then ferociously defends Jake's vulnerable body. When Jake reveals his true mission to the clan, Neytiri is heartbroken and yells furiously at him, resulting in his rejection from the clan as a traitor. However, she later forgives him when he returns to the Omaticaya as the sixth Toruk Makto because she realizes that he was a traitor to the Sky People, not the Na'vi. When Quaritch tries to kill Jake, Neytiri uses all her rage and emotion to kill him.
Neytiri shares her mate's love of flying and frequently rides on her ikran, Seze. Neytiri cares for Seze and mourns her when she is killed.
Despite her respect for life, Neytiri is a formidable warrior. She is very skilled with a bow, and taught Jake how to use one as well. She is also skilled in close-range combat with her knife. She single-handedly defeated the pack of viperwolves that had attacked Jake using both her bow and knife. Neytiri also managed to kill the deadly warrior, Colonel Quaritch, with her father's bow, even when the latter was armored with an AMP suit and the Na'vi have a very slim understanding of technology. However, Quaritch was distracted when trying to slit Jake's throat and hadn't noticed Neytiri's actions.
In addition to her fighting skills, Neytiri is also an excellent flyer. Like many Na'vi, she learned English at Grace Augustine's school. Her speech is broken and accented, but it improves through her time with Jake.

Greater than fifty years in the past, John Coltrane drew the twelve musical notes in a circle and hooked up them via directly traces, forming a five-pointed megastar. encouraged through Einstein, Coltrane had placed physics and geometry on the center of his track. Physicist and jazz musician Stephon Alexander returns the desire, utilizing jazz to respond to physics' so much vexing questions about the prior and way forward for the universe. Following the good minds that first drew the hyperlinks among track and physics-a checklist together with Pythagoras, Kepler, Newton, Einstein, and Rakim-The Jazz of Physics revisits the traditional realm the place track, physics, and the cosmos have been one.
This cosmological trip accompanies Alexander's personal story of suffering to reconcile his ardour for song and physics, from taking song classes as a boy within the Bronx to learning theoretical physics at Imperial collage, London's internal sanctum of string conception. taking part in the saxophone and improvising with equations, Alexander exposed the relationship among the basic waves that make up sound and the elemental waves that make up every thing else. As he finds, the traditional poetic notion of the "music of the spheres," taken heavily, clarifies confounding matters in physics.
Whether you're extra conversant in Brian Greene or Brian Eno, John Coltrane or John Wheeler, the 5 percentage country or why the universe is lower than 5 percentage noticeable, there's a new discovery on each web page. overlaying the complete heritage of the universe from its delivery to its destiny, its constitution at the smallest and biggest scales, The Jazz of Physics will fascinate and encourage a person attracted to the mysteries of our universe, track, and lifestyles itself.

Profound adjustments have been happening in American society in the course of the interval of the Sixties and Seventies whilst laws for the nationwide starting place for the humanities and the arts used to be enacted and the organizations went into operation.

Into this newly therapeutic, newly wondering society, congressional motion thrust the nationwide Council at the Arts in 1964, and the nationwide Endowment for the humanities in 1965. Their challenge used to be to motivate and help the humanities, and the boys and ladies charged with this accountability went approximately their paintings with the fervour and exuberance of non secular converts. the belief of even a minute quantity of federal monetary information to the country's chronically beleaguered and sometimes impoverished artists and humanities organi zations appeared unusual to a section of the inhabitants that had existed in forgot ten independence from govt intervention. a few of the nation's artists and humanities leaders have been cautious, in part end result of the uncertainties and constraints of prior styles of governmental support.

Distressed properties have been the primary market these past 5 years with bank owned homes and short sales in areas like Phoenix, Peoria, Surprise, Glendale, Scottsdale. New Subdivisions like Sonoran Mountain Ranch and Westwing Mountain in Peoria were severely upside down. Home prices have slowly increased in value in some Phoenix, Peoria, Surprise, Glendale, Scottsdale areas. In February 2012 the traditional sellers (Equity Listings) reached 49% of the homes listed on the MLS. Bank owned homes on the MLS were down from 58% in February 2011 to 23% in February 2012. It’s a great time for some home sellers that have been waiting out the downturn for prices to head back up with a little equity once again. We have especially seen the prices rising in especially popular neighborhoods like Sonoran Mountain Ranch and Westwing Mountain. So, the question for you: Selling Your Own Home vs Using a Real Estate Agent?
Homeowners trying the For Sale by Owner method
Dave Ramsey says to the For Sale by Owner: “If you go with a high-octane real estate agent, you’ll have the advantage of being exposed to their entire pool of buyers. More importantly, you’ll be in the MLS, or Multiple Listing Service, database. There, you’ll immediately have thousands of potential buyers. So, who do you think will have the best chance of selling your house? Market exposure is everything in the real estate game!”
You can visit the Inzalaco Team at www.InzalacoTeamAZ.com for some details on the market exposure we provide for you. Especially serving as Your Neighborhood Real Estate Team for Sonoran Mountain Ranch and Westwing Mountain.
For Sale By Owner (FSBO) Statistics
FSBOs accounted for 10% of home sales in 2011. The typical FSBO home sold for $150,000 compared to $215,000 for agent-assisted home sales. Additionally, it takes on average an extra 38 days for the FSBO home to sell. There is also a factor of liability that a homeowner assumes when trying to sale their own home, especially if they are unaware of certain disclosures and specifics involved for a real estate transaction.
FSBO Methods Used to Market Home:
Yard sign . . . . . .44% Listing on Internet . . . .33% Friends/neighbors. . . . . . . . . . . 27%
Open house . . . .19% Newspaper ad . . . . . … 17% For-sale-by-owner Web site. . . .12%
Most Difficult Tasks for FSBO Sellers:
1. Getting the right price
2. Understanding and performing paperwork
3. Having enough time to devote to all aspects of the sale
4. Preparing/fixing up home for sale
5. Selling within the planned length of time
As in past downturns, the criteria needed for a housing recovery were job growth and stronger consumer confidence. However, conditions in few states showed signs of improvement and confidence has remained relatively low. In addition, the persistent decline in home prices, the ongoing foreclosure crisis, the large shares of underwater homeowners, and tight lending standards are all holding back homebuyer demand nationwide. But, experts have touted areas like Phoenix, Peoria, Surprise, Glendale, Scottsdale are set to have the quickest resurgence from any other real estate market nationwide. With a current 1.34 month housing inventory it has created a feeding frenzy for buyer’s. This is a great advantage to seller’s that have been waiting to sell their home. Sale prices are up 20-35% from this time last year. This especially true in the increase in value that we are seeing in Sonoran Mountain Ranch and Westwing Mountain. To receive the highest exposure possible during this market upturn, home sellers are relying on the value and expertise of professional real estate agents to bring them the highest and best offers on the sale of their homes and providing their home with maximum exposure to interested buyers. So, the question when Selling Your Own Home vs Using a Real Estate Agent is relatively simple. A Real Estate Agent can sell your home faster and for a higher value than you will be able to by yourself.

A Comparative Analysis of Ground, Magnetospheric and Interplanetary Observations of Long Period Magnetic Oscillations
- 39 Downloads
Continuous measurements of the geomagnetic field variations at ground stations are important to investigate several aspects of magnetospheric dynamics related to variations in the solar wind conditions which, ultimately, originate from the Sun. We present a comparative analysis of geomagnetic field measurements at several ground stations with simultaneous magnetospheric and interplanetary observations in order to understand the origin and characteristics of the observed fluctuations. The results suggest that long period geomagnetic field fluctuations can be directly driven by solar wind density fluctuations at the same frequencies via the modulation of the magnetopause current. We also discuss the possible occurrence of additional contributions related with cavity/waveguide resonances of the entire magnetosphere as well as those of resonance processes of the geomagnetic field lines.
KeywordsSolar wind Magnetosphere MHD waves

NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are gaining widespread popularity in the market for digital art and collectibles. In recent years, NFTs have become a cultural phenomenon, attracting the attention of crypto enthusiasts, digital art creators, and celebrities alike. As the Web 3.0 ecosystem continues to grow and adoption increases, many believe that NFTs will play a key role in the ownership of assets online.
So what are NFTs? Let's find out.
NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are a type of digital asset that represents ownership of something on the blockchain.
NFTs can be anything such as art, collectibles, music, profile pictures or PFP, DAO memberships, event tickets, gaming assets, virtual land, domain names, and so on. They can represent either completely digital assets or tokenized versions of assets that exist in the real world. Currently, there is a lot of excitement around using NFTs to sell virtual art.
Characteristics of NFTs
- Ownership: NFT represents digital ownership of an item on a blockchain
- Permanent: NFTs have data permanently stored within the token. This information includes images, messages, signatures, or any other data
- Programmable: An NFT can be programmed to do anything. For example, an NFT artwork might be programmed to pay the artist royalties on every secondary sale of that artwork
- Unique: NFTs are unique, and that uniqueness can be confirmed on a blockchain
How to Make an NFT
To create an NFT, or non-fungible token, you will need to first prepare your media file. NFTs can support a wide range of file types, including audio, images, and even 3D files. Some popular file types that are supported by NFTs include MP3, JPG, PNG, and GIF. You can also use 3D file formats like GLB to create NFTs that represent unique, digital objects.
Once your media is ready, you will need to set up a non-custodial wallet to securely store the cryptocurrency that you will use to buy, sell, and create NFTs. Non-custodial wallets are important because they allow you to retain control of your private keys, which are needed to access your cryptocurrency and make transactions. There are many different wallet options available, so it is important to do your research and choose one that is secure and user-friendly.
Once you have set up your wallet, you will need to buy Ethereum, or other fungible tokens depending on the blockchain being used, to cover the cost of minting your NFT. Ethereum is the most commonly used blockchain for NFTs, and it is typically the easiest to get started with. You can buy Ethereum using a variety of methods, including through a cryptocurrency exchange or from other individuals who are willing to sell.
Once you have your Ethereum, you will need to connect your wallet to an NFT marketplace like Rarible or OpenSea. These platforms allow you to easily create and mint your NFT, as well as trade and purchase NFTs created by others. To connect your wallet, simply tap the "Connect" button in the top right corner of the marketplace's website. This will create an account for you on the platform and allow you to begin creating your NFT.
To create your NFT, upload your media file to the platform and provide a description of your asset. You can choose to create a standalone piece, or create multiple NFTs of the same piece, each with its own unique characteristics. You can also set rules around royalties and other aspects of your NFT to ensure that you are fairly compensated for your work.
Once you are ready to mint your NFT, the process will require you to pay a small amount of ETH for transaction fees. This is necessary to get your NFT added to the blockchain and verified as unique. Once your NFT is minted, it will be available for trade and purchase on the marketplace. You can monitor the progress of your NFT and track its sales through your wallet or the marketplace's website.
NFT Secondary Markets
Creators make NFTs using blockchain-based minting platforms to retain more control over their creative output. Once NFTs are minted on a non-custodial wallet-compatible website, collectors and traders can sell these assets on the secondary market.
Here is a list of the most used NFT marketplaces:
- OpenSea: OpenSea is the first and largest marketplace for NFTs. OpenSea is building tools that allow consumers to trade their items, creators to launch new digital works, and developers to build rich, integrated marketplaces for their digital items. It recently announced the support for Solana-based NFTs.
- Coinbase NFT: Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange, recently launched its NFT marketplace in beta version to the public. This marketplace acts as a social media platform in which users can not only buy and sell NFTs but also interact with and showcase their collections using user profiles, likes, and comments.
- Solanart: Solanart is the first and largest fully-fledged NFT marketplace on Solana. Users can get quick and easy access to digital collectibles, and explore, buy, and sell NFTs that run on the Solana blockchain.
- Rarible: Rarible is a do-it-yourself NFT marketplace where you can mint NFTs when and how you please. Creators are highly favorable towards Rarible, as the minting process is free, easy, and unrestricted. Rarible’s native governance token “RARI” is used to incentivize platform users and give the community members a voice.
- Nifty Gateway: Nifty Gateway is owned by the Gemini crypto exchange and has become one of the most known NFT marketplaces lately. They focus on viral drops from artists like Beeple, Trevor Jones, Pak, and more.
- SuperRare: SuperRare (SR) is one of Ethereum’s debut crypto-art NFT marketplaces. Artists must be accepted to the platform before they can list their assets.
Notable NFT Projects
NFT-based companies have seen significant growth in recent years. Some notable examples include:
- Yuga Labs: a blockchain technology company that creates Ethereum-based NFTs and digital collectibles. Yuga's most valuable NFT collection is Bored Ape Yacht Club, which has seen a floor price of over 150 ETH at its all-time high. In addition to apes, Yuga has also created dog NFTs, mutant apes, and deeds for its Metaverse. The company recently acquired Larva Labs, bringing high-value projects like Cryptopunks and Meebits under the Yuga brand. Yuga is backed by investors like Coinbase, Samsung, and Mark Cuban.
- Doodles: a collection of 10,000 Ethereum-based NFTs created by artist BurntToast. The Doodles collection includes a wide range of visual traits, heads, costumes, and colorways. Owners of Doodles NFTs have exclusive access to new experiences like Space Doodles and Dooplicator.
- Okay Bears: a collection of 10,000 Solana-based NFTs. Ownership of an Okay Bear grants access to a community of collectors and exclusive products, merchandise, and events.
Investing in NFTs
NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, provide many benefits as an investment vehicle.
One of the main advantages of NFTs is that they allow physical objects, such as artwork, to be tokenized.
Additionally, NFTs offer greater liquidity for investors, making it easier to trade and sell their assets.
The Future of NFTs
NFTs offer a new way to represent and prove ownership of assets on the blockchain.
This technology has already been used for digital art, collectibles, and in-game assets, but it has the potential to be applied to a wide range of other industries as well. For example, tokenized real estate could provide a way for people to invest in property without the barriers to entry that currently exist.
High-end fashion brands like Louis Vuitton have also expressed interest in using NFTs to track the ownership of luxury items.
Additionally, NFTs can be used to tokenize certifications, degrees, and licenses, providing a way to securely track and maintain this sensitive data on the blockchain.
Overall, the potential applications for NFTs are nearly limitless.

NM’s New Soccer Team Unveils Sponsor, Jerseys
By Ron Davis Reporter, Albuquerque Business First
February 7th, 2019 – For Peter Trevisani, partnering with Meow Wolf made too much sense.
Trevisani, the owner of the newly formed New Mexico United soccer team — part of the United Soccer League — has said the goal of his team, beyond winning titles and cups, is to connect the state. A partnership with one of New Mexico’s most recognizable businesses is a start.
As the United take the field next month for their inaugural game at Isotopes Park, they will do so wearing black jerseys with the name “Meow Wolf” plastered across the middle. The club will unveil its jerseys Thursday.
Meow Wolf is an interactive art collective headquartered in Santa Fe and a popular tourist destination in the Land of Enchantment.
“If there’s something that can inspire somebody more through brand awareness, I want to know who it is,” he said. “When you feel the power of Meow Wolf and the power of soccer in New Mexico United … you’re going to create this euphoria around it.”
Beyond blazing Meow Wolf’s name across players’ chests, the United and Meow Wolf will host soccer and art hybrid clinics, which will feature United players and Meow Wolf artists teaching kids about both soccer and art and how the two are intertwined, Trevisani said. The club has designated Aug. 3 as “Meow Wolf Night” at the stadium.
Before the season kicks off March 9, the United is moving to a new office on Carlisle and Central Avenue, which will also be its team retail shop. According to an article from Forbes, USL teams pumped more than $100 million into stadium construction from April 2015 to October 2016.
“Sports and arts are quite aligned in my mind,” said Meow Wolf CEO Vince Kadlubek in a statement. “Both depend on the ability to envision and then act to create that vision … Both are able to bring fun, unity and inspiration to the community. New Mexico is world-renowned for arts and now is the time we go big in sports too, and New Mexico United is just the organization to do it.”
The United also partnered with New York-based finance firm KraneShares for its away jerseys, United officials said. Trevisani said the club chose to partner with the firm as it has reach in several markets where the United plays its road games.
Trevisani declined to disclose the exact value of the partnerships, but added that it’s a “six-figure relationship” and a soccer club’s jersey is its most valuable financial asset besides television revenue.
“When you look at Meow Wolf and what they’ve created from an imagination point of view, the fact that they’ve let people dream in a way they hadn’t thought about dreaming before, and the ability to have a commercial success with that and employ over 200 artists, we wanted to be a partner with them,” Trevisani said.

ALDEN RICHARDS will return to the concert stage this coming September 21 for his 2nd Major Solo Concert at the Kia Theater entitled ADRENALINE RUSH!
His first concert UPSURGE was a sold-out event staged last year in May and featured the Kapuso heartthrob in a number of electrifying sing and dance numbers and of course who can forget that “kilig” moments with the other half of the phenomenal “AlDub” tandem – which fans are now sorely missing.
For ADRENALINE RUSH, Alden said during last week’s media conference, that the show will feature him in a couple production with serious stunts particularly adding the element of “air” in the performances. So we’ll see him float and fly around the stage then.
Alden said that his superhero character “Victor Magtanggol” will definitely make an appearance, now as for Maine “Yaya Dub” Mendoza gracing the event, the young actor said that the guest performers’ list are not yet finalized but he assured the media people present that there will be a lot of surprises.
ADRENALINE RUSH is also going to be the venue for the launch of his fourth studio album – his 3rd with GMA Records.
Alden admittedly said during the media conference that HE IS AN ACTOR – but he also grabs every opportunity given to him to grow his other talents like singing, dancing and performing on stage. He knows well that he’s really not a singer and even rated himself as a 45 out of a 100 when it comes to vocal quality but what he “can” sing and assures fans that when he does sing – he gives a 100% to it and it all comes from the heart. He calls that as “lambing”.
Now 26, Alden Richards who has been in the industry for 18 years already, is one of the more serious and talented actors that we have in the local showbiz industry. And I have said this before, his acting career got sidetracked with the rise of AlDub but now he’s back at it again, I can only hope that he gets a lot of projects that will show people how good an actor he really is.
ADRENALINE RUSH The Concert will also feature performances from Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez, Comedy Concert Queen Aiai Delas Alas, Ex Battallion and many others.
CATCH Alden Richards in ADRENALINE RUSH on September 21, 2018 at the Kia Theater. Book your tickets now!

September 26th-28th. Weekend in Southern Italy.
We have been in Rome for one month now, and with the passing of every day I am constantly overwhelmed with feelings of gratitude. This past weekend was the first independent trip I took with my roommate Andrea, and all the beauty of Naples, Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast surrounded us. We conquered Naples in 3 days and even managed to see the Amalfi Coast and the ruins of Pompeii. The first day we did everything my Italy guidebook told us to, and it was an incredible day. The week before I also asked my Italian professor for the best local places that I wouldn’t find in my guidebook, and she came back to me with a great list of restaurants, cafes, and churches that we couldn’t miss. The highlight of our time in Naples was taking the cable car up the hill to Castel Nuovo and watching the sunset from the top of the castle.
That same evening we went out to dinner at Da Michele, a famous pizzeria in the heart of Naples. Inspired by Julia Roberts in Eat, Pray, Love, we tried to reenact some moments she had at the restaurant on camera. It was the best pizza I’ve ever had.
The following day was spent on the Amalfi coast and although we were surrounded by lots of other tourists, the sights were stunning. Although it was one of the longest days of my life, we managed to see four cities in ten hours. Again, with the help of my guidebook we hit the highlights and tried to get off the beaten (very touristy) path, and were successful! On Sunday, we ended our trip with a visit to Pompeii. After learning about the ancient city every year in history, it was really amazing to finally see Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii, and to put it all into perspective.
While Andrea and I conquered Southern Italy, the rest of the Rome Start class stayed in Rome but kept busy. Some of the girls went to a wine festival, and some even volunteered to hand out sandwiches Friday night in St. Peter’s Square. The JFRC has some really interesting community service opportunities and I hope to be able to participate in some throughout the semester.
I am grateful for this past weekend, but also for the dozens of other places I’ve seen in this past month. Looking back on my last few months home, I hadn’t even begun to comprehend all that I would experience in the coming year, but I was ready for this challenge and new experience. Classes are in full swing, and everyone is feeling the pressure of exams, etc. We are all trying to plan our weekend trips with such urgency that the calendar seems to be shrinking. Along with all the incredible tastes that Italy has to offer, I have enjoyed the taste of independence the most.

Afghan Ambassador calls on caretaker PM NasirMulk
ISLAMABAD - Caretaker Prime Minister Justice retired Nasir-ul-Mulk has reassured Pakistan’s support for an Afghan-owned and Afghan-led peace process as there is no military solution to the conflict in Afghanistan.
He was talking to Afghan Ambassador Dr Hazrat Omer Zakhilwal, who paid a courtesy call on him in Islamabad today (Tuesday).
Expressing satisfaction on the positive trajectory in the bilateral relations, the Prime Minister stressed the importance of building on the progress achieved, especially in the context of implementation of the Afghanistan-Pakistan Action Plan for Peace and Solidarity (APAPPS).
Ambassador Zakhilwal said bilateral channel remains the most viable mode and APAPPS would facilitate achieving progress in all areas of engagement.


Pulling back on Peel split ‘the right decision’ for taxpayers in Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon: Mayor Brown
Published December 6, 2023 at 10:02 am
News that the province may walk back plans to break up the Region of Peel was welcomed by Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown, who is standing by his criticism of what he calls a bad deal for taxpayers.
“It’s never the wrong time to make the right decision,” Brown said on CBC on Wednesday when speaking about reports that Premier Doug Ford may reverse plans to split Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon into stand-alone municipalities.
Brown has been opposed to the dissolution since it was announced in May, raising concerns about the cost of the plan which he calls a “financial train wreck” that could result in a 38 per cent tax hike for taxpayers.
And on Tuesday, Brown and a union representing members of Peel Paramedics Services sounded the alarm over a possible “mass exodus” of first responders from Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon due to job insecurity related to the split.
“So when we have our key first responders saying lives are at risk, that should cause people to rethink this,” Brown said.
While Brown says the split will comes with a $1.3 billion cost to tax payers and lead to the largest tax increase in the Region’s history, outgoing Mississauga Mayor and Ontario Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie reaffirmed her support of the split this week accusing Brown of making a “desperate attempt” to “derail” the dissolution.
With Crombie now in the provincial political ring, Brown said she should “fight for everyone in Ontario” and not play favourites with Mississauga if the numbers show the deal will hurt other municipalities.
Brown says Crombie “didn’t do her homework” on the split, and pointed to former Mississauga city manager and Region of Peel CAO Janice Baker’s opposition to the break-up as further evidence the deal needs to be scrapped.
The province championed the split as a way to reduce duplication in municipal and regional governments and speed up housing projects. But Brown says the process has actually slowed developments and “would actually impair housing” in Brampton.
Caledon Mayor Annette Groves echoed Brown, saying it would “be encouraging if the province rethought the dissolution of Peel Region.”
“There are too many unknown costs to fully understand the true impact to taxpayers if Peel dissolves. It is also uncertain how dissolution will negatively impact the Town’s ability to reach its housing pledge and the provincial goal to build 1.5 million new homes,” she said in a post on social media.
Late Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion fought the province for that city’s independence for years, with Ford promising before her death he would see the plan through.
Ford is expected to give an update on the Region of Peel dissolution by the end of the week.insauga's Editorial Standards and Policies advertising

Kiev nationalists clash with police outside Orthodox monastery (PHOTOS, VIDEO)
Ukraine nationalists have clashed with police outside the citadel of the Orthodox Church in Kiev, the Pechersk Lavra, as the churchgoers and monks were about to hold a peace service praying for an end to violence in Ukraine.
According to various media reports up to 500 ultra-nationalists, representing the Right Sector and Ukraine's Patriots neo-nazi movements, clashed with around 100 policemen in an attempt to disrupt the Procession of the Cross at one of the centers of the Eastern Orthodox monasticism in Eastern Europe.
The procession was supposed to start at noon local time in the Holy Dormition Cathedral of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra and end up at the monument of the Unknown Soldier. Participants in the rally, mostly elderly, oppose Kiev's military operation in the Donetsk region.
Ultra-nationalists claimed that “separatists” were planning to use the event as a chance to gather and form a “Kiev's People Republic” and used a “few dozen grandmas” to disguise their plan.
After the armed ultra-nationalist crowd arrived at the gates of the convent, the Lavra was forced to shut fearing clashes.
“After the crowd of activists with baseball bats and hammers, some wearing bulletproof vests arrived at the Lavra, the entrance and exit to the shrine was closed. According to law enforcement, this was done to avoid clashes,” spokesman for Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Fr. Georgiy Kovalenko shared his account of the events surrounding the procession service on his Facebook page.
The clergy asked the angry mob – some of whom claimed they came to the monastery “to pray” – to lay down their arms. But when asked to cite a prayer, according to Kovalenko, they could not remember a single one.
Around 250 people, some wearing St. George’s ribbons, were forced to seek shelter and hold the procession inside the walls of the monastery, while around 100 law enforcement officers secured the premises. It is still unclear how many people were injured in the clashes outside the walls of the monastery.
Kiev Pechersk Lavra issued a statement after the incident saying that according to Appeal Holy Synod, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church “as always calls on all parties to the peaceful resolution of conflicts and enhanced prayer.” It reminded that the monastic life should not be disturbed or used for political purposes.
After the raid on the monastery around 60 nationalist activists staged a rally at the Russian embassy in Kiev, Russia's Press Atache Oleg Grishin said.
“The gathered are behaving aggressively. They are trying to break through the cordon of the consulate building, stoning representatives Ukrainian law enforcement agencies,” RBK quoted Grishin. “The situation is tense,” the diplomat added. No one was detained at the rally that lasted around two hours.
Also on Sunday, the nationalists vandalized a Kiev branch of Russia’s Sberbank pelting cobble stones and throwing firecrackers inside.

A unicorn turning into a horse sounds like a twisted fairy tale. Instead, it’s what just happened to SolarCity.
Roughly a quarter of the solar-power leasing company’s value was wiped out Friday on the back of results released the previous afternoon. The earnings numbers, as usual with SolarCity, aren’t the main thing here (its loss was bigger than expected, just for the record). The bigger deal was this:

SCOTLAND looks set to become the first part of the UK to legalise gay marriage after the Westminster government omitted the measure from yesterday’s Queen’s Speech.
David Cameron decided not to include a Bill after pressure from Tory MPs.
But the Scottish Government is expected to press ahead with legislation to allow same-sex couples to get married.
A law could be passed next year with Scotland’s first gay marriage taking place in 2014.
US President Barack Obama declared his support for gay marriage yesterday.

My reaction to this month’s photo challenge theme? Intrigued and apprehensive. Intrigued because “Photographer’s Choice” doesn’t come with constraints. And apprehensive for the same reason.
Within seconds I decided that I wouldn’t just wait until the end of the month and then post my five favourite images from October. I would come up with my own theme. I considered a one lens challenge, thought about choosing one location to photograph as creatively as possible, contemplated pursuing a set of lens flare photographs and mulled over several other options.
After a few days of careful thought, I decided to showcase 5 Calgary parks with wetland features:
- Exploring Calgary parks is one of my favourite ways to enjoy nature in the city;
- Autumn is a great time for spotting migrating birds in wetland areas;
- Wetlands play a vital role in the water cycle and ecosystems;
- In addition to creating my photo set for this post, I could gather material for a series of Calgary parks blog posts; and
- I could also find some more geocaches on our long, slow road to 4,000 finds.
By mid-month I’d been to the Weaselhead Natural Environment Park, Prince’s Island Park and Ralph Klein Park.
Then I made another choice…one that meant I had to abandon my first choice (at least for now).
That second choice? I allowed adrenalin to override common sense. I valued perseverance and indomitable spirit more than self-control. The result? A knee injury that has me spending an hour a day on physiotherapy exercises. Even worse, my physiotherapist asked me not to go out walking for the first week post-injury. Even now I’m supposed to stick to city sidewalks. It’s a hardship not to be out and about, free to explore and enjoy the great outdoors. There’s a certain unaccustomed flatness to my life that I’ve tried to convey by stripping most of the colour from this month’s photographs…
NOTE: I used a tripod and the Triggertrap app and dongle to make the three photographs that show me working on my physio routine. (Are they still selfies?)
I can’t wait to see what everyone else came up with for “Photographer’s Choice.” If you have another few minutes, head on over to A ‘lil HooHaa to browse host P.J.’s take on this month’s theme and for links to the rest of the entries.

Final publication at 151 University of Pennsylvania Law Review 311 (2002)
In the past decade, the terms “cyberspace” and “globalization” have become buzzwords of a new generation. And it is probably not surprising that the two have entered the lexicon simultaneously. From its beginning, the Internet heralded a new world order of interconnection and decentralization, while the word “globalization” conjured for many the specter of increasing transnational and supranational governance as well as the growing mobility of persons and capital across geographical boundaries. Thus, both terms have reflected a perception that territorial borders might no longer be as significant as they once were.

Henderson police chief to retire following release of brutal video
The Henderson police chief is retiring after a police beating video surfaced.Photo: Video by ktnv.com
Henderson, NV (KTNV) -- Henderson Police Chief Jutta Chambers announced to her staff today that she will retire effective March 1. The news comes shortly after a settlement involving a police beating caught on a dash cam.
According to sources, she was asked to step down by City Manager Mark Calhoun after the release of a video showing a sergeant with the Henderson Police Department kicking a restrained driver in the head during a traffic stop in October 2010.
The man was suffering from a diabetic episode. Sgt. Brett Seekatz was punished for the incident but did not lose his job. The man, Adam Greene, and his family accepted a settlement of $292,000 on Feb. 7 of this year.
Chambers was with the Henderson Police Department for nearly 30 years and was the first female officer in the department. She became chief in 2008.
Deputy Police Chief James White will be the acting police chief until a replacement is chosen.

Rainbow Six Siege: High Calibre is officially the name of the game’s next season, and the first teasers have arrived to give us a hint about what to expect. The teaser indicates that we’re getting a brand-new weapon – likely a new type of SMG.
The gun in the teaser has “SMG5 MK 2 .50 GI” written on the side, which gives us a pretty clear idea of what type of gun we’re getting. .50 GI ammunition is comparable in size to .45 ACP – to non-gun-nuts (like myself), that means this isn’t some kind of .50 calibre arm-wrecking monstrosity of a submachine gun.
In a Reddit AMA a few months ago, the devs confirmed that a new weapon would “be available soon” as they target one new gun per year – so it looks like this is the one. Dataminers have uncovered apparent details on the operator for the new season, too. Apparently she’ll be named Thorn, and be equipped with Razorbloom Shells that can stick to surfaces and will act as a damage-dealing proximity trap.
Rainbow Six Siege’s next Major is scheduled run from November 8 through November 14, and the full reveal of the new season is likely to take place near the end of the event.
You'll need bigger rounds if you want to get the job done. pic.twitter.com/THaY8qSWoP— Rainbow Six Siege (@Rainbow6Game) November 1, 2021

THE DWARF COW IS A GREAT WEAPON AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE, that’s the Title of the news, followed by some transcripts:
… Heat, fodder shortages and the threat of drought are forcing many hard-hit dairy farmers in the Anantapur area of India’s southern Kerala state to reduce their herds, experts say…
“EXPERTS” of course blame AGW for the catastrophe that “for the first time” the lack of water and fodder compels farmers to sell their livestock for ridiculous low prices.
DO THESE #AGWstooges AND THEIR MEDIA CRONIES THINK THAT WE ARE DUMMY IDIOTS? WALKING ZOMBIES THAT NEVER READ A BOOK, A MAGAZINE, A NEWSPAPER?
To solve the problem of this Warming Earth Dr. E.M. Muhammed from the Kerala University is therefore proposing the farmers to switch to DWARF COWS, a local breed that “can better withstand the effects of “climate change”.
Because as we all know Southern India was sort of a snowy cold land before the Industrial Revolution and recently turned into a tropical climate due to the climate warming resulting from the polluting CO2 gases that accumulated in the atmosphere.
So if DWARF COWS are HEAT TOLERANT, what about the typical “zebu” or “brahman” cows (Bos taurus indicus) that are milked all over the tropical areas of the world?
Of course dwarf cows produce less milk that the normal animals but that is IRRELEVANT compared to the “disastrous impacts of climate change”
PYGMY COWS ARE ONLY 2ft HIGH and only make 6.5% of the 2.3 million cattle in Kerala. Genetic experts are now working on a smaller variety of cows; -say about a cat size- that will be able to survive in the future scorching heat of India when CO2 levels will get to 450ppm.
PLEASE, #AGWstooges give us a break!

The aim of the study was to compare the impact of three synthesized chemical compounds from a group of methylated flavonoids, i.e. 2′-hydroxy-4-methylchalcone (3), 4′-methylflavanone (4), and 4′-methylflavone (5), on a red blood cell membranes (RBCMs), phosphatidylcholine model membranes (PC), and human serum albumin (HSA) in order to investigate their structure–activity relationships. In the first stage of the study, it was proved that all of the compounds tested do not cause hemolysis of red blood cells and, therefore, do not have a toxic effect. In biophysical studies, it was shown that flavonoids have an impact on the hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions of membranes (both RBCMs and PC) causing an increase in packing order of lipid heads and a decrease in fluidity, respectively.
Synthesis of 2′-hydroxy-4-methylchalcone (3), 4′-methylflavanone (4), and 4′-methylflavone (5).
Whereas, on the one hand, the magnitude of these changes depends on the type of the compound tested, on the other hand, it also depends on the type of membrane. 4′-Methylflavanone and 4′-methylflavone are located mainly in the hydrophilic part of lipid membranes, while 2′-hydroxy-4-methylchalcone has a greater impact on the hydrophobic area. A fluorescence quenching study proved that compounds (3), (4) and (5) bind with HSA in a process of static quenching. The binding process is spontaneous whereas hydrogen bonding interactions and van der Waals forces play a major role in the interaction between the compounds and HSA.

Implementing the Iran deal means new tests, starting now
Now that the Iran nuclear deal has been implemented, it is likely to be tested in many ways, starting almost immediately.
Work remains on details of sanctions relief and nuclear monitoring, while businessmen and diplomats in the United States and the West will seek to expand ties with Iran without running afoul of U.S. law. And how Iranians and Americans react to perceived slights or violations could cause problems going forward.
“There are lots of tests for the (the nuclear deal) down the road,” said Daryl Kimball, director of the Arms Control Association in Washington. “It’s going to be important for everyone, especially political leaders, to distinguish between serious breaches of the agreement … and mundane ones.”
The U.S. and Iran will continue to disagree on ballistic missiles, terrorism and other issues that could potentially also unravel the nuclear deal, he said.
Here are some areas where Iranian and American policies could continue to conflict and a look at what happens next:
The first test came Sunday, when the United States imposed new sanctions on 11 individuals and companies involved in Iran’s ballistic missile program. The sanctions were in response to last year's missile test by Iran.
"We will continue to enforce these sanctions vigorously," President Obama said Sunday. "We are going to remain vigilant about it."
Iran has said its ballistic missiles are a justified part of its national defense.
Keeping Iran’s nuclear program peaceful
The United Nations nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has several important tasks that require Iranian cooperation, said David Albright, a former weapons inspector and president of the Institute for Science and International Security.
Iran has to file a complete declaration of its nuclear program, which could raise new questions about its past nuclear weapons work, which the IAEA has to certify has ended. The agency issued a report in December saying it found no evidence of nuclear weapons work in Iran past 2011. Proving those activities have ended would mean going to suspected nuclear sites controlled by the military, Albright said.
The problem: “Iran’s policy is you can’t go,” Albright said.
Policing sensitive technology
The nuclear deal created a system to control Iran’s purchase of dual-use goods that could be used for either peaceful nuclear purposes or for banned nuclear weapons or ballistic missiles. The added layer of bureaucracy analyzes proposed purchases and technology transfers from all countries, supposedly directed at Iranian companies in such fields as semi-conductors, automotive, machine tools and aviation.
“The worry is that, like in the past, Iran will use civilian companies to buy equipment for its illicit ballistic missile and arms programs,” Albright said.
He said a December test of this procurement method failed, and such a program has never been done on this scale anywhere.
Kimball said the true test of the system will come when it goes live.
Sanctions relief and getting back to business
Iran now has access to some $100 billion in assets that had been frozen by international sanctions over its nuclear program. Much of that money is tied up in foreign debt. For the remaining $50 billion or so, the U.S. Treasury has to provide a financial path to Iran for bankers in China, India, Japan, South Korea, the United Arab Emirates and Turkey without violating the U.S. sanctions that still remain.
“Just because you have sanctions relief doesn’t mean these banks are going to be keen on doing financial transactions with Iran,” said Mark Dubowitz, a sanctions expert and director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
“Practically speaking I don’t think there’s going to be a gold rush into Iran,” Dubowitz said.
Diplomacy without full relations
Diplomacy will proceed with great caution, said Robert Einhorn, a former nuclear negotiator with Iran who served as the State Department’s special adviser for non-proliferation and arms control.
Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, has decreed that Iranian diplomats should not engage one-on-one with the United States. He also said the nuclear deal should not lead to a new era of cooperation with the United States.
The nuclear negotiations opened channels of communications between the nations’ top diplomats. That was evident last week, when Iran released 10 U.S. sailors a day after they strayed into Iranian waters, and Saturday when four U.S.-Iranian citizens were released from Iranian prisons in exchange for seven Iranians in the U.S. serving sentences or facing charges for sanctions violations.
“There will be contacts on areas where interests converge or could converge, but it’s not going to lead to improvement in any time soon in the relationship,” Einhorn said.
