Main St, Haworth
This year eight members from Belgium and the Netherlands attended the Brontë Society AGM weekend in Haworth, Yorkshire (the Society's main annual event) on 7-8 June. This account of a first visit to Haworth was written by Sherry Vosburgh, who joined our group just a few weeks ago and made a last-minute decision to go to the June weekend. Most of the accommodation in the village had been booked months in advance but she managed to find a room, albeit right at the bottom of the steep hill up to the Brontë Museum and the venue for the events. However, she survived the experience and seems to have enjoyed it! Would any of you like to join us in Haworth for the 2009 AGM weekend (6-7 June)?
Helen somehow talked me into it - leaving from Kings Cross for a Northern adventure for five glorious days. I felt a bit of a fraud as I had only read three of the Brontës' books, and wondered if I'd be accepted into the august circle of the Brontë Society en masse.
I arrived without incident at my palatial B&B to a warm welcome. The "full monty" breakfast the next day stoked up the fires for my first visit to the Parsonage - waltzing in free as a fully paid-up member. I found the experience very moving, imagining the family living there and Emily dying on the sofa in the drawing room protesting that she was not ill... The exhibitions were fascinating - especially Charlotte's tiny dress and gloves for Emily's funeral... The letters and Gondal books were in minuscule fairy hand, impossible to read but transcribed for visitors. There was also an exhibition of fine modern photographs of the moors by Fay Godwin which put the house in context and made one realize how isolated Haworth was before the tea shoppes, pubs, curio shops and second-hand bookshops moved into Main Street.
The climb up Main Street to the Parsonage had been described to me as steep, but I hadn't realized I'd need my heavy walking shoes every day for the cobbled street that never seemed to end. Between Brontë Society events it proved too time-consuming to go back down to the B&B and up again, so I ended up drinking endless pints of bitter and tea (complete with typical Yorkshire cakes and buns) and meeting others who were engaged in exactly the same activity. I met slightly eccentric people like myself all over the village, all very friendly and united in their common interest in the Brontë family - from as far afield as the United States chapter, the Netherlands and, of course, Belgium. The Brontë crowd had a certain look about them - urbane but rather wild-eyed - which made it easy to strike up conversations with complete strangers.
The first event organized by the Society was a performance by a young professional theatre company called "Through the Window" of the earliest dramatic version of "Jane Eyre". The play had originally been performed at the theatre that became the Old Vic and had been adapted by Catherine McDonald from Patsy Stoneman's newly published edited version. Patsy was there to give an introduction and plans to come to Brussels this year. The play, skilfully filleted and using only a handful of actors, was very well received and was preceded by a cheese and wine party so that people could start getting to know each other.
The next day brought a lecture on the originality of Wuthering Heights from Professor Heather J. Glen, from Cambridge University - fascinating - followed by a service in the local church to thank the family of James Roberts, who donated the Parsonage to the Society in 1928. We all sang lustily and the church was full of Brontë Society and local people. The female rector's daughter sang the final Blessing beautifully. The AGM followed, at which plans were described for improving the modern exhibition space and to refloat the coffers. A few members seemed curious to know why there had been so many resignations from Council lately, but lips were sealed on their personal reasons for resigning. A dynamic-sounding Council was elected and the eloquent acting director of the museum shed light on its day-to-day running. The meeting had to close in time for the literary panel that followed (all events took place in the nearby Baptist Hall) in which the influence of Wuthering Heights was discussed by Toby Litt, Helen Dunmore, Sally Beauman and Stevie Davies, with Patsy Stoneman in the chair. All the writers spoke passionately about their admiration for Emily Brontë and produced a lively and fascinating discussion.
The next day, Sunday, kicked off with two walks, one long and the other shorter. Feeling cowardly, I plumped for the shorter one, which turned out to be expertly led by Hedley Hickling, the outgoing Membership Secretary, who is a geologist and really knew his stuff. We wandered in a leisurely fashion over Penistone Hill and saw in the distance Top Withins, which may have been the model for Wuthering Heights. The views over the moors were breathtaking. In the afternoon a special treat awaited us - a performance of "The Well-Dressed Governess" by the History Wardrobe in a costume-in-context presentation of handmade replica and original costume items. The lady who presented the show has made all her own costumes and gave details of the kind of dresses considered suitable for governesses at the time (who had to blend into the background and favoured blue and grey) and told us how the undergarments were worn, demonstrating enough within the bounds of decency.
On the last day there was a full-day excursion to the "Shirley" country, which I had to miss as it was fully booked. There were also two talks, one by Beryl Bainbridge on her novel- writing technique and what she owed to the Brontës and one in the old schoolroom, used by the Brontës to teach Sunday School, where a historical slide-show of Old Haworth was given by a local historian.
I spent several happy hours browsing the two second-hand bookshops as well as the wide selection of old and new books on sale at the meeting venue over the weekend. I was most impressed with the wide selection of Brontëana at the Parsonage itself but had to limit my purchases to avoid carting them up hill and down dale throughout the day. That damned hill!
I was introduced to lots of people, all charming, and by the end of the weekend I felt I was leaving a group of comrades and new friends. Doubtless we will all meet again next year at the next June AGM weekend. I can't wait for more of that lovely pub grub in good company, interspersed with cultural activities and wonderful views. A lovely break from Brussels. And much recommended.

30 September 2013
The Western Australian government has delayed the introduction of school fees for the children of international workers in the country on temporary work visas who are being educated in state schools.
In August, state treasurer Troy Buswell announced that the state would require any worker in Western Australian with a Temporary Work (Skilled) visa (subclass 457) visa to pay AUS$4,000 for every child that is being educated in a state funded school.
Mr Buswell said that the charge was necessary because the number of such children had risen dramatically. There were 290 such children in Western Australian schools in 2005. By 2013, this figure had risen to 8,600; a 29-fold increase. He added that the state government had a budget shortfall and that this measure would raise AUS$120m. He said that the fees would be introduced in 2014.
Mr Barnett said that this was fair because 'this means that anyone who is already living here on a 457 visa or who has already lodged a visa application to come here soon will not have to pay unexpected fees for schooling next year. We are giving plenty of notice that the fees will apply from the year after next giving people time to make the necessary arrangements to pay the fees'.
But A Western Australian chamber of commerce has warned that the fees will still discourage much needed international workers from staying in the state. Australian broadcaster ABC reports Russ Clark, The Chief Executive Officer of the Albany Chambers of Commerce and Industry as saying 'The feedback the chamber has received is that people are looking at shifting out of WA and/or returning back overseas because it [staying and paying the fees] becomes unviable for them'.
However, other commentators have expressed concerns that the delay in the introduction of fees and the reduction a $60m hole in the state's finances.
The 457 visa is Australia's main temporary work visa. There are over 100,000 international workers currently living and working in Australia with 457 visas.
457 visas last for up to four years. Visa holders can enter and leave Australia as often as they like while the visa is valid and are allowed to bring dependent children and partners with them.

The video doesn't really have a storyline.Why does Diddy always need to have sex? Again, the video confuses me. Great job anyways Hype Williams...I guess. I'm worried about this Dirty Money group...again. Nice song though.

In the event the Trump administration unveiled its revised Muslim ban turned journey ban on Sunday, a handful of unlucky nations uncovered them selves extra towards the list. On 27 January President Donald Trump signed an govt buy halting all refugee admissions and briefly barring folks from seven Muslim-the vast majority nations around the world. Immigration Main Ronaldo Ledesma mentioned the Immigration was on the lookout for travelers who is likely to be certain for all those countries. Commencing January 27, 2017, vacationers who may have nationality or dual nationality of one of such nations will not be permitted for 90 times to enter The usa or be issued an immigrant (which include range visas) or nonimmigrant visa. Of even larger importance, the President's Proclamation also did not discover, or even advise, the highly reticulated plan that Congress has enacted to manage the trouble the Proclamation identifiesâ€”the failure or refusal of some countries to sufficiently guide U.S. vetting of their nationalsâ€”has resulted in almost any further damage, or threat of damage, to your nationwide protection.
Trump supporters have pointed to your 1952 statute that permits the president to "suspend the entry" of "any class of aliens" that he finds are detrimental to the nation's interests. I nonetheless do not know how Never Trumpers might have been so pigheaded which they had been prepared to let Hillary Clinton to become president and solidify the Supreme Court docket being an arm from the Leftist elaborate. 26, even so, the Supreme Court set aÂ partial remain around the rulings versus the vacation ban, efficiently reinstating the order and straight away impacting now vetted refugees scheduled to return to the United States. Turkey, India, as well as Philippines, all have Trump towers, as well as other Trump property- they don't seem to be banned, nevertheless you'll find huge Muslim populations in These nations around the world. Hello Ghufran, individuals are people and it is best to by no means choose a whole state determined by the behavior of 1 personal or a little team.
That's why retired U.S. military services leaders, revered human legal rights advocates, previous political prisoners and dissidents within the island, and expanding majorities of usa citizens and Cuban-Us citizens want all U.S. citizens to possess the right to vacation to Cuba as A part of a completely new coverage depending on engagement with the Cuban men and women. As Jeremy Diamond pointed out inside a posting for CNN, Trump's most recent govt purchase: Banning persons from 7 nations around the world and much more,â€ minority religions from these international locations are allowed entry to the state. By the time with the Yalta Conference, the Western forces consisting of the United Kingdom, America, Poland, Canada, and also the governments-in-exile of France and Belgium, led by British standard Bernard Montgomery and American generals Dwight D. Eisenhower and Omar Bradley, had liberated all of France and Belgium and have been advancing into Germany, leading to the Battle with the Bulge.
Within the marketing campaign trail and now during the White Dwelling, TrumpÂ has designed unfounded statements that refugees from war-tornÂ SyriaÂ really are a stability risk. Should you be a countrywide, or dual nationwide, of one of those countries, you should don't program a visa appointment or pay out any visa service fees at the moment. In distinction, Trump bans refugees across the board and in addition prevents primarily Muslim immigration So Trump's make an effort to conflate the two actions is weak at most effective. The web consequence will probably be that Trump has just a little egg on his deal with, the Ninth Circuit once again will likely be demonstrated to be frivolous and everyone who's paying attention will likely have a much better knowledge of the immigration predicament as well as President's powers in relation to it. To me that is generally valuable from a "rule of legislation" stand place.
Hope Trump's individuals acquired on this. Trump is next the judge's purchase and utilizing the judicial system to fight it. Also, be suggested that volunteering to lend your companies that will help people fill out the FCC kind is probably going thought of by numerous courts to get partaking inside the observe of law. Individuals critics complain that courts are implementing TrumpLawâ€ to Trumpâ€”a Distinctive skepticism of govt action reserved for this President. He clearly does not like Trump's immigration journey ban, so he is cooking up factors for slapping a temporary restraining purchase on it. Not one person would at any time dare to claim that 1 American terrorist represents the moral standing most of the people inside the U.Sâ€¦. nonetheless the travel ban justifies this identical way of thinking. Don't just would this process be extremely prone to recognize and seize and terrorist aiming to enter the place for a pretend refugee, but terrorist companies are more likely to come across other ways than to invest the effort and time on this method.
In July, more than two dozen people, symbolizing 5 international locations affected because of the ban, submitted a lawsuit versus the US authorities more than its implementation of the ban and the procedure for obtaining waivers. Federal Choose Leonie Brinkema in the Jap District of Virginia, in enjoining the earlier travel ban, quoted 10 nationwide protection gurus that have served in top govt positions and who declared that Because the Sept. By indicating that only All those with relatives, schooling or employment connections in The us, Olat mentioned, the Trump administration and also the Supreme Court are abandoning a lot of the most susceptible refugees: minimal little ones who may have dropped their mother and father to persecution or violence or social activists who are targeted by terrorist teams.
The international nationwide is traveling as a U . s . Govt-sponsored Trade visitor. While the Trump vacation ban formally expired on Oct. In 1835, Texas revolted, and right after many bloody battles, This treaty gave Texas its independence, but lots of on account of the savage frontier combating, the American general public created an exceptionally unfavorable stereotype towards the Mexican people and governing administration. The court docket worries into the enforcement of immigration guidelines need to be entertaining. Reactions into the court docket's determination are unsurprisingly partisan; Supporters of Trump laud the choice as being a gain for nationwide protection, as well as president's detractors vilify this choice as unconstitutional as well as a remarkable government overreach. Any land has become received by accession, irrespective of whether within the recess of the river or of The ocean, it shall not be regarded as an increment into the holding or tenancy to which it may be Therefore annexed, but shall vest Totally in The federal government with the People today's Republic of Bangladesh and shall be at their disposal.
The Office of Overseas Affairs (DFA) before issued a vacation advisory urging Filipinos to defer non-essential and non-urgent travels to Libya, Yemen and Bahrain until the safety cases in These nations have stabilized. As far as I'm conscious, the last time the Court issued such a ruling of this kind was in Pierce v. Modern society of Sisters in 1925, in which the Court docket held that non-public educational facilities could sue to obstacle an Oregon regulation demanding mom and dad to mail their kids to community educational institutions, based mostly upon the economic harm the personal educational institutions would go through due to lowered enrollment. But the administration came below fire once more in June right after studies surfaced that just two % of over 27,000 visa programs of individuals from nations coated during the ban ended up granted waivers from December 8, 2017, via April thirty of the 12 months.
They can typically reject from hand asylum claims from countries considered pleasant to The us, irrespective of whether that country respects human rightsâ€¦. Condition of Washington and State of Minnesota, Plaintiffs, v. Donald J. Trump, in his official potential as President of The us; U.S. Department of Homeland Protection; John F. Kelly, in his official capacity as Secretary with the Department of Homeland Protection; Tom Shannon, in his official ability as Acting Secretary of Condition; and America of The united states, Defendants. Lib heads are exploding everywhere in the planet since the US Supreme Court docket's Okay'd President Trump's vacation ban on 5, Indeed, five, Muslim nations. As everyone having a Doing the job internet connection previously knows, Trump's journey ban has long been accepted because of the Supreme Court, and can go into influence in 72 hrs.
Social liberals come across it easy to see the wrongness of Trump's arbitrary collective discrimination from Muslims from some countries but not Many others. Most people have witnessed Kanban in Procedure but just usually do not know it, there are two recognized retail chains that spring to head When contemplating Kanbans, the main may be the chain which can generate your spectacles throughout the hour while you wait around; your buy is dropped into a tray, this tray would be the Kanban, it is actually moved from one particular process to the subsequent, Every action becoming concluded as per your specification inside the hour. Amnesty Global now has filed a Independence of knowledge Act ask for to reveal the assistance the administration is supplying to officers who will choose no matter if travelers are banned. President Obama promised the American folks right before his election in 2008 the he would make companies accountable listing GMO information in all food stuff ingredient.
The Trump supporters here have Obviously overlooked what number of court docket worries the GOP issued to many of Obama's executive orders. Trump's Justice Division, nonetheless, has requested the Supreme Courtroom to become involved in The difficulty now. Just in Time makes use of a pull procedure, The shopper orders an item, this is either manufactured by the final procedure or taken from a small buffer stock, this generates a signal (the Kanban) to prior measures in the method to create alternative inventory. two. Enforcement on the ban from journey to Cuba wastes U.S. tax bucks and diverts them from authentic threats, which compromises the safety of all People. New rulesÂ issued in September correctly increase the ban for people today from eleven nations around the world, which the Trump administration didn't identify.
The 2 Cambodian refugees residing in Northern California were convicted of crimes yrs in the past and, beneath the Trump administration's far more intense immigration enforcement procedures, Individuals offenses had positioned them on the path toward deportation. Secondly, many people, such as the choose who halted the ban, declare that there are no terrorist-linked arrests of folks with the 7 nations before 10 years or so, consequently offering no actual threat. It appears that present limits set up in the course of the Obama administration knowledgeable Mr Trump's checklist. The President's executive order does not deal with Muslims as a gaggle, but only with citizens of various international locations who can't be screened for radical or terrorist ties. David Miliband, President and CEO in the Worldwide Rescue Committee (IRC), said modern implementation of the partial keep with the Supreme Court on rulings against Trump Administration's Travel Ban straight away impacts by now vetted refugees scheduled to come back to The us.
Donald Trump's Muslim travel ban is an complete present to extremists. Lawsuits above the Obama-era program that shields youthful immigrants from deportation, a whole new problem towards the health treatment legislation, anti-discrimination protections for LGBT folks, the Trump policy on transgender company customers as well as a new fight over partisan gerrymandering Turisticka agencija Rapsody travel all are percolating in federal courts and will reach the justices this term. Given plenty of assets I can find a choose to file a TRO for almost any legislation or executive get which has just been applied. If you are touring to any in the eight mentioned international locations or Iraq, we urge cautious appraisal of any retaliatory insurance policies They could have already been implemented, and you find the advice of the immigration lawyer. The instances the court docket has agreed to hear so far this time period seem absolutely nothing such as stream of substantial-profile disputes above President Donald Trump's vacation ban, partisan redistricting, union expenses along with a clash around spiritual objections to exact same-sexual intercourse marriage that the courtroom heard past phrase.
The Supreme Court claimed Sure to prolonged loved ones ties exemptions from the vacation ban and no to extended refugee exemptions. 29 January 2014: A dozen Dwelling Republicans on Tuesday pressed their leadership to maneuver forward with a federal lawsuit hard President Obama's use of govt electrical power. 7 days 20 (Jun 3 - Jun nine): This week, previous FBI director James Comey, fired a short time previously by President Trump, will testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee investigating the Russian involvement from the U.S. 2016 elections and any collusion Using the Trump marketing campaign with Russia to impact the result. Which is when two states, Washington and Minnesota, submitted a lawsuit in opposition to Trump claiming the ban may have violated the owing process legal rights of foreigners who had legitimate visas and green playing cards as well as individuals who were while in the country illegally (Wolf, Gomez, Feb.
And so, if the situation didn't entail immigration and presidential promises of nationwide stability considerations, or Should the Proclamation had discriminated from Muslims on its encounter, then the Court docket plainly would have declared the Ban was unconstitutional on the bottom that, as Justice Kennedy wrote in Church of Lukumi Babalu Aye, Inc. He just proved it yesterday by tweeting that his journey ban wasn't concerning the persons it was in regards to the countries. The courtroom authorised ban has some provisions to allow in Individuals who have already been issued a visa, or incorporates a bona fide marriageâ€ with an individual or Group in America. Justices voted five-four to uphold President Trump's travel moratorium on Iran and 5 war-torn nations around the world. The French can individual the American people from your administration that operates the US. Those that journey France and they are respectful of any cultural variations will discover which the French are warm, helpful people today.

Peace through understanding, … understanding through information!
– Relevance of military books in today’s scenario
Defence writing is now acquiring a new genre. “Even the style of defence writing has undergone a change. Earlier it used to be a very formal, stereotyped which was targeted to a niche audience. Now we have different writers coming up from journalistic backgrounds, who write in a different easy-paced style which appeals to all,” tells Rajan Arya of Pentagon Press.
Status of books on defence in India…
“The books on defence in India have acquired greater popularity in the past decade or so. There are new authors who are coming up, there is a greater range of titles, and even the readership has enhanced considerably. Initially, most defence books were by foreign writers, or a handful of Indian ones and had a very restricted audience, largely amongst the defence and security community. Now defence books have acquired their own distinctive niche and got a new-found status. Many defence writers, such as GD Bakshi, Gurmeet Kanwal etc have gone on to become well-known figures based on their books,” tells Rajan. While Rohan Vij, director marketing, sales & business development adds, “Defence books are generally authored by research scholars and Armed Forces Officers from reputed Think Tanks and Universities. These books have limited readership and hence leading to restricted publications.”
“Market size is restricted to Libraries run by Think Tanks, Institutes and Universities. There are very few individual buyers for such books since they all use it as reference material from affiliated institutes,” tells Rohan as a matter of fact.
But, defence writing has many different genres. “Military history is a field that is getting increased popularity (though we were the largest army of 26 lakh personnel who fought in Second World War but not much importance is given to the war though it shaped the world and even our Independence was indirectly the result of this war). In addition, defence and security analysis, especially threat analysis, has its own market after 9/11 and 26/11. It is worthy to note that there must be over 1000 titles on 9/11 but only 10 titles on 26/11. There are books on contemporary and futuristic warfare, encyclopaedias and compilations. There is even a new genre on military fiction emerging. Thus I will put that the market size is not that big,” ponders Rajan.
Vivek Garg of Manas Publications feels that the average number of copies sold for any such book remains as 1000 copies.
Importance of military books…
“Firstly, by encouraging these books by our own authors and through our own publishing houses, we encourage strategic thinking within the country. It is really unfortunate that we could not develop strategic culture in the country and there are literally very few Strategic Thinkers. We also present the Indian perspective to the world, and to a great deal contribute to the growth of strategic culture. Books on Indian Military history also create an awareness of our history and military culture which is essential for this generation. I think to some extent, these books, also shape the minds of policy makers, by providing inputs and different perspectives on defence and strategic issues,” shares Rajan.
While Rohan adds, “These books help in analysing various defence and foreign policies of the country and suggest measures to improve upon them. In the present scenario that exists in our sub-continent they are also helpful in forming counter terrorism / internal security policies for the country. Book on Military History also helps in educating the youth about the history of their country as well as lessons learnt during those battles.”
Adding further, Rajan says, “We can always learn from the past mistakes and make a significant contribution to raising public awareness about national security and defence issues. We can also encourage researchers to take on newer areas of research.”
“We publish a title a week which makes 52 titles a year; the print varies from few hundreds to few thousands. The prices of these titles varies from Rs 495 to 995,” shares Rajan.
Similarly, Vij Books also comes up with 40-50 new print titles and approx 30 eBooks per year. “The first print run is between 400-500 copies depending upon the subject. For certain lesser read subjects, we have resorted to Print On Demand. The price ranges from Rs 500 to 1000,” adds Rohan. While, Kalpana Shukla, managing director, Knowledge World, says that they publish around 50 titles in a year, for which the print runs is minimum 500 copies, though they also use POD sometimes. “The pricing for our books starts from Rs 600,” she adds.
Manas Publications publishes 20-25 books per year, with a print run of 500-1000 copies. “The price varies between Rs 500 and Rs 1000,” says Vivek.
Libraries, educational institutes and research scholars in this field are the audience for such books. “Politics, international relations, security studies, defence establishments, and think tanks are the main target audience,” shares Kalpana. “But, the target audience is no longer restricted to just the defence and security community, though they form a major share of our buyers. After the Kargil War, a new awareness has come about and many in India now follow defence issues closely,” tells Rajan.
For Pentagon Press, Thought for Change: We can do it by Dr APJ Abdul Kalam is obviously one of the, bestsellers. “It needs no introduction as the book is a masterpiece. It covers 10 futuristic technologies which can take India to greater heights,” shares Rajan. For Vij Books, the bestsellers include Inside ISI – The Story and Involvement of the ISI in Afghan Jihad, Taliban, Al-Qaeda, 9/11, Osama Bin Laden, 26/11 and the Future of Al Qaeda. “The book has been authored by S K Datta, ex CBI director. The focus of this book was on ISI as an instrument of spreading jihad culture in Pakistan and elsewhere,” adds Rohan. Another bestseller is A Talent for War – The Military Biography of Lt Gen Sagat Singh. “The book has been authored Maj Gen (Retd) Randhir Sinh, the ADC of Lt Gen Sagat Singh. The book brings out the military leadership qualities of the General during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War,” tells Rohan.
For Manas Publications, The Writing on Wall: India Checkmates USA 2017 by General S Padmanabhan is the bestseller. “This book is set in 2017, showing a war between India and USA,” shares Vivek.
For Knowledge World, ICON – Marshall of the Indian Air Force, an authorised Biography by (Late) Air Commodore Jasjit Singh, is the bestseller. “The book captures the story of one man who has fought the Second World War, and led the Indian Air Force in the 1965 war with Pakistan to a successful victory for India. The book is a ‘must’ for all, especially the passing out cadets from various academies,” shares Kalpana. “Publishing for a specialised audience has personally been a learning experience, especially with meeting intellectual personalities,” she concludes.

31-year-old Sailosi Tagicakibau has joined Wasps from London Irish, according to BBC Sport.
The winger spent nine years with the Exiles, but has been in South Africa at Super Rugby club the Stormers since February.
The Samoan international has featured 21 times for his country, whilst also turning out for the Pacific Islands on multiple occasions.
During his time at the Madejski Stadium, Tagicakibau proved to be one of the best wide-men in the English Premiership, destroying defences with his explosive pace and power.
In 109 appearances for the Exiles, he scored 37 tries, helping them to finish third in 2006 and 2009, the latter of which they lost in the Grand Final to Leicester Tigers by a single point.
However, this was not enough to see him tie down a regular place last season, seeking playing time with the Stormers in Cape Town.
Tagicakibau started six times for them, but got his only try when he came off the bench to touch down in the dying minutes in a 33-0 victory over fellow South African side the Cheetahs in May.
Despite his best efforts, the Stormers finished 11th, five places of the playoff places.
Upon his return to England, the Samoan soon realised that his spot in the side had been taken by Topsy Ojo and Andy Fenby.
Battle for starting berth
His move to the Wasps will give them experience, but he will be fighting for a place with the likes of Tongan star Will Helu, and English duo Tom Varndell and Christian Wade.
Tagicakibau is just one of a host of signings that the Adams Park outfit have made this season. Head coach Dai Young has brought in half-backs Ruaridh Jackson of Scotland and former Newcastle Falcons and Sale Sharks man Rob Miller.
Centre Alapati Leiua, who is also adept on the wing, also starred in the Super Rugby competition with Tagicakibau last season, moving to London from New Zealand-based Hurricanes.
James Gaskell is one of two locks to join the ranks at Wasps during the close season, along Welsh international Bradley Davies, while prop Lorenzo Cittadini signed from Benetton Treviso, becoming the third Italian at the club, with Andrea Masi and Carlo Festuccia already at Wasps.
All these new arrivals could get their first taste of Premiership rugby when they travel to the Allianz Park on the 6th September for the first game of the new season against last year’s losing finalists Saracens.
The Wasps will also be in the new European Champions Cup, beginning their campaign with a trip to Irish side Leinster on 19th October.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in air conditioners not only because of the possibility of cooling the space, but also because of the low monthly heating costs. Modern (inverter) air conditioners are of high energy classes (A +, A ++ and A +++) and consume significantly less electricity. Also, inverter technology in air conditioners enables efficient heating even at extremely low outdoor temperatures down to -15 ° C or lower. Classic electric heaters (heaters, infrared heaters, convectors, oil radiators) consume exactly as much electricity as they are declared. An electric heater with a power of 1000 W will consume 1 kWh per hour and deliver 1 kW of heat energy to the space. Air conditioners for the consumed 1 kW of power can provide 3, 4 or even over 5 kW of thermal energy, which makes them an extremely economical method of heating and many times more efficient than any other method of electric heating.
Air conditioners for the consumed 1 kW of power can provide 3, 4 or even over 5 kW of thermal energy.
By inverting the speed control, the inverter compressor constantly adjusts the power depending on the room air temperature. If the room air temperature is significantly lower than the set temperature, the air conditioner will operate at maximum power until it reaches the set temperature, and then only with the power required to maintain the desired temperature. By regulating the operation of the compressor, the air conditioner actually achieves lower electricity consumption.
With low outdoor temperatures, the gas pressure in the air conditioning system also decreases, which reduces the energy efficiency coefficient. This means that the air conditioner will transfer 2 kW or less of heat energy to the space for the consumed 1 kW of electricity. In other words, lower temperatures reduce the efficiency of the air conditioner. It is recommended to keep the AC constantly on on colder days in order to maintain the air temperature and to reduce the final electricity consumption. Low outdoor tempreratures are not a cause for concern. Air conditioners at lower temperatures (even above zero) go into so-called defrost and defrost the outdoor unit system. The defrosting process usually takes a few minutes and is repeated once an hour depending on the quality of the air conditioner, the outside temperature and humidity.
Air conditioning power, EER and COP
Each air conditioner has a declared EER and COP coefficient that determines the ratio of heating or cooling provided by your air-conditioning unit relative to the amount of electrical input it requires to generate it. The Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) is the label for the cooling ratio and the Coefficient of Performance (COP) is the label for the heating mode ratio. The higher the EER and COP coefficients, the lower the electricity consumption.
Prerequisites for air conditioning heating
For a warm and dry home, insulation is the most important condition that actually puts the way and intensity of heating in the background. Poor thermal insulation of the space (non-existent or dilapidated thermal facade), poor, dilapidated windows and doors and poor or non-existent roof insulation of houses or blankets of upper floors of buildings are the main culprits for high monthly heating costs.
By investing in quality insulation of the building, you reduce heat losses by 40% - 60% or more. An uninsulated or poorly insulated building loses large amounts of energy, so it is necessary to invest large amounts of energy in order to heat the space, and by turning off the heating, the temperature in the room drops very quickly. With large losses, each method of heating is expensive. No space is the same, so heating costs are not the same per square meter. Some apartments are bounded by walls that separate them from neighboring apartments that are also heated. In contrast - some houses have all the exterior walls that are directly affected by the outside temperature.
Disadvantages of air conditioning heating
Like any heating system, heating with air conditioners has certain disadvantages. The air conditioner blows out warm air. If the indoor unit is not located in an ideal place, warm air will blow on the table or sofa which is not always comfortable. Someone can be sensitive to air flow and this way of heating will not be comfortable.
Classic radiators heat by radiating energy, they are completely noiseless and provide a more comfortable feeling of warmth. Although in some cases it is possible to cover the square footage of the entire apartment, for areas larger than 40 square meters it will usually be necessary to install more AC units.
If the indoor unit is installed in the living room, the flow of warm air may not penetrate through the hallway into the bedroom. The installation of two units requires a double initial investment, but also a return on investment through reduced monthly heating costs.
We should also mention that the indoor unit of the air conditioner contains air filters that are recommended to be cleaned every two weeks. The filters are easily maintained with hot water, and clean filters maintain air quality and ensure optimal operation of the air conditioner. Each method of heating requires a certain minimum maintenance, so in fact cleaning the filter cannot be called a drawback.
Advantages of air conditioning heating
To achieve smaller oscillations of the temperature in a household, and finally the lower heating costs, it is ideal to keep the air conditioner constantly on, especially at lower outdoor temperatures. This way we achieve greated comfort throughout the year, the ideal temperature at all times.
Room temperature is regulated simply by pressing the button on the remote control. Heating with air conditioning is far more economical than any other heating. It is cheaper than heating with wood or heating with gas, contrary to the common opinion that gas is the cheapest energy source. Heating with air conditioning is a clean way of heating. The indoor unit filters the air through electrostatic precipitators that destroy bacteria, which should also be considered as a plus. High heating temperatures of classic radiators cause dust ignition and are one of the causes of allergies. Thermal storage furnaces can contain asbestos dust. Wood heating requires high costs before each heating season, good preparation and then daily lighting, ash and unpleasant smoke.

Blockchain has had a rough year, what with the suddenly plunging crypto exchanges and casual investors discovering that Bitcoin is volatile in both directions. But there are other, more significant trends that will affect all parts of the blockchain ecosystem in the years ahead. Here are some of the biggest game changers to look out for.
Web3 Is Nearly Here
Web3 is the predicted next evolution of the internet into a fully decentralized P2P network. Blockchain is central to this, since smart contracts and bridging services from oracle chains are the only practical way a full decentralization could work.
Oracles See the Future
Decentralization has been the holy grail of blockchain since the earliest of days. While no chain is 100% decentralized quite yet, oracles such as Chainlink (LINK) are early adopters that provide a fee-based solution to the overcentralization that has plagued ambitious chains. The dApp-support-for-a-fee model LINK pioneered has a big future.
Better Living Through Scaling
In any enterprise, scaling is the key to unlocking economies of size. The increasing scalability of today's blockchain networks has equipped them to run ever more users' transactions in a faster, more useful environment than ever before.
Interoperability Is Crucial
Early blockchains, like early computers, had no easy way of executing trades on each others' networks. Increasing interoperability is changing that, with bridging chains like Binance linking Ethereum to the less-commonly-used chains elsewhere.
The Ironic Virtue of Bear Markets
People don't usually think of bear markets as being good, but for blockchain they may be. After the irrational exuberance of 2020-22's crypto rush, a lot of unwise investments now have time to cool off and consolidate into more realistic blockchain-based portfolios going forward.

In a 2021 study, 79% of respondents were aware of podcasts, while more than 82mm people listened to them—a number expected to surpass 100mm in 2024.
The growth of podcasts means that publishers and advertisers should pay close attention to the expanding world and its advertising (and revenue-generating) implications.
More and more content producers have adopted the format, and like any other form of content, advertisers are following; podcast advertising in the U.S. drove almost $1.5b in revenue as of 2021, representing a 72% increase from 2020.
For publishers, podcasts offer a new way to reach and grow their audience while giving them new ad inventory to offer brands.
For advertisers, podcast ad space is a place to engage with consumers in a new way – a way that seems to be gaining popularity.
As podcast advertising grows, the market is responding. Most notably, programmatic podcast advertising is gaining steam to help advertisers drive performance and efficiency in this relatively new ecosystem. That said, ad buyers are hesitant to buy via programmatic means for various reasons, including host-read ads remaining powerful and the need to vet content before the ad goes live.
Despite the growing pains, podcast advertising is here to stay—its direct-response powers are too much to ignore.
Moving Consumers to Action with Direct Response Podcast Ads
Direct response advertising has been around for quite a while in the form of coupons, sales, promotional codes, call-now’s, and more.
The idea of the form is to make consumers move immediately from an advertisement to a purchasing action. The consumer is making a buying decision based directly on the ad they were exposed to – hence the name.
Podcasts, however, have added a new layer of digital interaction for direct response advertising. Content consumers engage with podcasts in ways unlike almost any other form of content, and that has brought a new depth to what brands can achieve with direct-response ads.
For example, a listener could hear an ad about a new type of mushroom coffee and immediately buy it with the corresponding discount code (these are almost always part of the ads). The fundamentals of direct response advertising are there, but podcast’s version has something others don’t: authenticity.
Not only are direct-response podcast ads delivered in a way that encourages a purchase, but they’re done so authentically—people generally take the host’s recommendations more seriously. They do this for the same reason influencer marketing is so popular; people trust people more than brands.
So, that got us thinking… What else makes podcast direct response advertising more desirable for brands than other forms of direct response?
Why Brands Love Podcasts for Direct Response Advertising
The growing addressable audience remains a central factor in brands’ fondness of podcast advertising, but there’s more to it. A level deeper, the liking resides with podcasts’ targeting, engagement, listener loyalty, and attribution.
As the podcast landscape continues to expand, more genres of podcasts have become available. There is also less censorship and more freedom when creating podcasts compared to radio and other forms of audio content.
All of this, paired with the do-it-yourself nature of the industry, means that a ton of podcasts are being created in many genres. According to the Podcast Index, there are currently almost 4mm podcasts.
From an advertiser’s perspective, more genres mean that they can reach more hyper-targeted audiences.
Different shows offer audiences of various sizes, age demographics, etc. Therefore, advertisers can measure the likeliness of a direct response by the type of audience that consumes the podcast at hand.
For example, a B2B advertiser can target B2B podcasts, like The Advanced Selling Podcast, and make the ad buy confidently, knowing that those who will hear it are likely directly aligned with their ideal customer profile (ICP).
Advertisers can also vet the episode their ads will run during, an extra layer of confidence that programmatic podcast ads can’t offer yet.
Podcast listeners tend to be very engaged and focused on the episode they choose to listen to. In fact, that matter of choice is a factor in its own right.
Listeners must find the podcast episode they want to listen to, leading them to be more patient with the content. Compared to radio, for example, there’s much less randomness regarding what podcast listeners consume.
Jason Cox, the CTO of Panoply, stated that listeners to their podcasts get through 80-90% of the content they choose to listen to.
The nature of podcasts leads listeners to do less skipping around and more genuine listening, obviously presenting a terrific environment for direct response advertising, as more engaged listeners are much more likely to act immediately.
According to Edison Research, 54% of podcast listeners say they are more likely to consider the brands they hear advertised on podcasts.
The nature of podcast ads drives engagement as well. Why? Because most of them are read by the host.
In fact, 63% of podcasts are host read, while almost half of podcasts had the majority (at least 8 out of 10) of their ads read by the host.
A study from Nielsen found that host-read podcast ads were “significantly more likely to be described by respondents as authentic and believable, and less likely to be felt as forced.”
3. Listener Loyalty
Podcasts are like music in that listeners can connect to the host and the content (in the case of narrative-based podcasts). As listeners become more deeply connected with podcasts, they’ll build better associations with the brands that advertise on that podcast.
Many podcasts have very loyal audiences, as well.
They have listeners who will tune in attentively to every episode. Direct-response advertisements often remain the same for multiple episodes, so even if a listener is not drawn to action the first time they hear an ad, they will be later.
Consider this: Let’s say someone is listening to their favorite comedian’s podcast. If that comedian endorses the same brand for multiple episodes, pushing one promo code, there’s a high chance that the listener will at least research the promotion to see if they’re genuinely interested.
In this case, the listener has a pre-built loyalty toward their favorite comedian and, therefore, will be more willing to consider the brands that that comedian is endorsing, thinking, “If [Enter favorite comedian’s name] likes MediaRadar, then maybe I should, too.”
Attribution is the arch-nemesis of advertisers. It always has been and always will be. The bane of advertisers’ existence is rearing its head more than ever as Google prepares to sunset third-party cookies, making it unprecedently difficult for advertisers to get a clear view of campaign impact.
Podcast ads come with their own attribution challenges—a 2021 survey found that attribution was the most commonly cited challenge of podcast advertising—but they have an edge that other ad formats don’t: promo codes.
Most podcast direct response ads include some version of a promo code.
It’s simple on the consumer side and gives advertisers a direct link to attribution. When consumers act on a direct response ad, a measurable interaction occurs at the point of purchase – “Use the promo code MediaRadar2023 at checkout,” for example.
When someone uses MediaRadar2022 at checkout, it’s a data point for advertisers of a successful direct response advertisement.
To expand and further hone direct advertising efforts, brands can use the data they gain from conversions to fuel their later podcast campaigns.
Advertisers and Direct Response Podcast Ads: A Perfect Marriage
In 2022, 82% of marketers said they planned to continue investing the same amount or more in podcasts or other audio content.
That’s easy to understand, considering targeting, engagement, and attribution prowess. Also, direct-response podcast ads give brands immediate access to loyal audiences.
Those reasons alone are enough to keep pushing ad dollars into the podcast world. Still, other outside forces are in play, including the demise of third-party cookies and advertisers’ desire to deliver ads in the most authentic way possible.

If he hasn't done it yet, he's definitely making his case. Browns fans got a big thrill in Sunday's game, but it would be hard to find fans more pumped up than the ones at Brian Hoyer's old high school.
It was a dramatic come-from-behind win led by Cleveland's own, Brian Hoyer. But no one was more excited than players at St. Ignatius High School, where Hoyer was a star.
"It's fun to watch. Great quarterback," said Dennis Grosel, a St. Ignatius junior.
"I think Brian Hoyer is doing a good job. He's definitely got everything going in the right direction with that win on Sunday," said senior Jay Kucia.
Hoyer earned high marks for his poise under pressure. The win came with just over a minute left in the game.
His former coach was not surprised.
"He always liked those two-minute drills, where you had to go down the field. He always enjoyed that. So for us, it doesn't shock us that he's doing that," explained Chuck Kyle, St. Ignatius' football coach.
"A lot of pride. You're in his footsteps right now being a quarterback. You're just thinking, at one time, he was doing the same stuff you're doing. It's awesome," said Grosel.
Manziel has gotten more hype, but Hoyer was money on Sunday, and his reputation lives on at St. Ignatius.
"I've heard people say maybe best Ignatius quarterback of all time," said Kucia.
We'll have to see if he can be one of the best Browns quarterbacks of all time.

As we have seen in recent years it feels as if Mitsubishi has gotten out of the sedan category altogether. The disappearance of the Galant and the final version of the Lancer Evo have led us to believe Mitsubishi has started to get out of the sedan segment, but recent information is proving that to be false. This is exceptional news since Mitsubishi has always offered value of the money and given us several great offerings to enjoy across their lineup. To reduce their North American lineup to EVs and SUVs would certainly be a shame.
The first sedan we expect to see from the tri-diamond badge is a four-door version of the Mirage which is already being sold in other parts of the world. The news is not out yet as to what it actually will be called, maybe the G4. This new Mirage is expected to arrive in January and give us a 2016 model lineup we are sure to enjoy. The decision to offer the Mirage as a four door came as Mitsubishi saw how successful the Nissan Versa has been in sedan form, with nearly two-thirds of the sales of the Versa coming in the sedan form.
Once we head into the 2017 or even the 2018 model year a new Lancer will show up from Mitsubishi. The hold up for this sedan is finding the right partner to give the car that added edge it needs to be a great sedan once again. The information given by Mitsubishi has led us to believe they have a partner, but it may or may not work out and if another doesn’t present itself they will be a year behind plan but offer this new car as a model they build completely on their own, but by the 2018 model year we will see an new Lancer on the market.
In reality this only gives Mitsubishi two sedans and both are on the compact segment leaving room in the midsized segment so why not bring back the Galant. Apparently there was a partnership perused with Nissan to create a new Galant but the math simply doesn’t work in the favor of Mitsubishi to bring back this long time favorite midsized commuter car that gave us great equipment at a highly reasonable price, but maybe farther down the line we will see the comeback of the Galant.
Many times car companies go through changes and have to nearly reinvent themselves. For Galant and Evo lovers, don’t despair, much like the Dodge twins (Charger and Challenger) there may be a long pause before the remaking of some of our favorite Mitsubishi models, but they will more than likely be back once Mitsubishi regains its foothold in the sedan market. As one of the smallest lineups of cars in North America let’s hope this new direction is successful it would be a shame to see Mitsubishi go the way of Suzuki and no longer sell cars in North America.


Just to note that the ECU update doesn't just make the lower rpms usable, but actually more desirable. The throttle response after the update is so smooth it's almost shocking the difference it makes. No sudden engine braking when you back off the throttle is another huge benefit. It just makes the bike more comfortable, and I believe more capable, to ride.Glad to hear the tune/flash is now available for the 2018 versys 650 models. I'll probably spring for the tune over the winter when I'm not riding.
I posted a few weeks ago about how the bike finally feels smooth and broken in after 2000 miles. Yes it's a great improvement, but for a $250 tune, it would be nice to have more of the lower rpms available.
The bike feels like its had a complete personality change for the better.

FLOWERY BRANCH — In order to free up some salary cap space to fit in Asante Samuel’s three-year, $18.5 million contract, the Falcons restructured offensive guard Justin Blalock’s contract.
Blalock was a free agent last season and signed a six-year, $38 million contract. Before the restructure, Blalock’s cap number was $5.3 million for 2012. It is now $3.86 million. The Falcons likely shifted some option bonuses around in order to create a more cap-friendly deal that allowed them to pursue Samuel.
Before Samuel’s deal and subsequent restructure of Blalock’s contract, the Falcons were $2.6 million under the cap.
Earlier this offseason, the Falcons restructured cornerback Dunta Robinson’s contract, to provide the team with an additonal $1.55 million in salary cap space in 2012, according to contract documents and Robinson’s representatives.
On Jan. 25, Robinson’s cap value number for 2012 was $7.55 million. His current cap value number for next season is $6 million.
Robinson passed on a $3 million option bonus in favor of having $5 million in base salary guaranteed this year and another $3 million guaranteed next year.

We proudly present this Costa Rica Honey Microlot from Carlos León, the very same producer as our exclusive Costa Rica El Tigre. This is a very limited, 25 bag run of 100% Caturra from the El León de Heredia Estate. It is washed, sun dried and milled on site at the León family mill. In the cup, the León’s Costa Rica Honey Microlot has a nice buttery body and notes of jasmine flower, honeysuckle and dried apricot.
Since 2002 Carlos León has been the chief operator of the family’s estate, which has claim to a storied history of producing exceptional Costa Rican coffee dating back to the 1880’s. Carlos’ father, Humberto was head of production since the 80’s before handing over the reins and the family’s legacy.
Increasingly honey process coffee is becoming more and more popular here in the states, and in response we’re seeing a good many honey process microlot offerings coming from Costa Rica and Central America. Using the honey method this Costa Rica Honey Microlot coffee retains much of it’s fruity pulp on the bean after it’s pulped. The cherry’s remnants then ferment into the bean, adding sweetness and complexity. Mill operators attentively rotate the beans while drying for uniformity and to avoid rot. Done correctly, honey process coffees offer a different taste profile with notable sweetness, accentuated body and generally citrusy overtones. For more on honey processing and other coffee processing methods, see our Farm-To-Cup guide.
The El Leon de Heredia coffee farm is located at an altitude of 4,000 feet (1350m) in the fertile San Isidro de Heredia region. Nearby, several volcanoes (Barva, Irazu & Poas) provide a mineral-rich base for the production of specialty grade arabica coffee. The farm has a long standing practice of only picking 100% ripened coffee cherries by hand to guarantee the best cup quality. At the family mill, traditional artisan milling techniques that have been handed down through the family for generations—no large industrial process is used in the milling or drying stages. This Costa Rica Honey Microlot is 100% sun dried which also helps preserve the bean’s character and profile.

Sports Illustrated’s Sportsperson of the Year Awards are going where the Oscars, Emmys, Golden Globes, and ESPYs have gone before. The magazine’s top honors will be broadcast nationally for the first time thanks to a new deal with NBCSN, Variety has learned. The event has previously only been available for viewing online. It will now be broadcast on Dec. 8 at 8 p.m. ET as an hourlong special.
“The franchise is one of our crown jewels and it translates easily to television,” said Chris Stone, editorial director of Time Inc.’s Sports Group, which oversees the publication. “One thing that television does better than any other platform is capture emotion, and this is an evening with a lot of emotion.”
Stone said he’s long believed that the show should be broadcast — a feeling that intensified at last year’s awards show when he glanced over to the side of the stage and saw football great Peyton Manning engrossed in a casual conversation with basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
“Even if we were tweeting or posting on Instagram, we couldn’t capture the excitement of the night like we can with television,” Stone said.
Last year, Stone and Josh Oshinsky, executive producer of sports at Time Inc. Productions, streamed the show as sort of a test run.
“It was such a huge step up,” Oshinsky said. “We learned a lot about what equipment to use, as well as got a sense of the feel and the pacing of the show. It’s very different to do one of these things for a national television audience.”
Sportsperson of the year is given to the athlete, team, or coach who best exemplifies the spirit of sportsmanship and achievement. It has been presented annually since 1954, the year the magazine launched. Past honorees have included Michael Phelps, Serena Williams, and Michael Jordan. In addition, the magazine also hands out the Muhammad Ali Legacy Award, sports kid of the year, rising star, performance of the year, and the hope award.
The telecast is being produced by Time Inc. Productions, the company’s television production division, and has tapped Robert Morton and Daniel Kellison as executive producers. Executive producers from Time Inc. are Steve Cannella, Ian Orefice, and Oshinsky. The move comes as Time is grappling with print advertising declines by moving heavily into video content. Last week, the company launched Sports Illustrated TV, its first over-the-top subscription-video service, which is available on Amazon for $4.99 per month. The company has also started ad-supported entertainment and lifestyle channel PeopleTV.
NBCSN will air encores of the broadcast on Dec. 10 at 10 p.m. ET and Dec. 12 at 11:30 p.m. ET.

5 million could be in debt to their energy company
Being in debt to your energy company is the new credit card debt - simply everyone is doing it.
20% of the UK, in fact, could have a problem paying their astronomical energy bills, thanks to continuing cold weather and energy companies generally being lying, cheating, underhand bastards.
According to uSwitch, if the figures they received from the 2000 households they surveyed were applied of the whole of the UK, it would mean that 5 million of us are in energy debt - and the debt owing from unpaid energy bills would amount to a sizzling £637m. That’s a typical debt of £123 per household.
If uSwitch have their maths right, that’s an awful lot of people not able to meet the basic cost of living. But with the average energy bill now £100 more than it was last year, it’s hardly surprising.
StepChange, a debt advice charity, said that due to the extended winter, there was an increasing number of people seeking advice about energy bill payments, and that more and more people are struggling.
A spokesman for StepChange said: "We would urge energy firms to show forbearance and understanding at this time when many consumers are financially vulnerable.’
Yeah, right. I'm SURE they will. *coughs*

KOCHI: The Sustainable Urban Transport Project (SUTP) has selected the Detailed Project Report (DPR) prepared for the Integrated Water Transport (IWT) in the city by Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) as one of the best DPRs submitted in the last three years in public transport initiatives.
SUTP evaluated such public transport initiatives submitted in the last three years and selected IWT for Kochi as one among the best four proposals.
“This may leverage KMRL’s vision for a seamless integration of public transport modes within Kochi and foster the prospect of the city to become one among the 20 smart cities to be selected by the Government of India in the coming days,”according to a statement issued by the KMRL.
SUTP is a Government of India initiative to foster long-term partnership between Government of India and state and local governments to implement a greener urban transport eco-system under the ambit of the National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP).
SUTP consists of capacity building programmes and city demonstration projects, aiming to induce a major change in the urban transport in India. SUTP is supported by the India Government through MoU between Global Environment Fund (GEF), World Bank and United Nations Development Agency (UNDP).

Leicester's Wilfred Ndidi will have surgery on the groin injury he sustained in Sunday's win over Burnley.
The 23-year-old will be out for up to 12 weeks after the operation on the adductor injury, which will probably take place on Saturday.
The Nigerian had been operating as a makeshift central defender in the absence of the injured Jonny Evans.
"It's just unfortunate - it's come right off the bone," said boss Brendan Rodgers. "He's a huge player for us."
He added: "I'm sure he'll make a really good recovery and we'll welcome him back when he comes back, but there's no doubt he's a miss."
Leicester have won both of their league games this season, to leave them top of the Premier League on goal difference.

On a campus always striving to promote diversity, a new student group will introduce to the campus one more aspect of the diverse world. The newly forming Jewish-student group will join the many religious-based organizations on campus.
The group has met several times during the past year and a half to try to become established and is hoping this year students can join together and get the group going.
The Jewish-student group is open not only to students,but also to faculty and staff on campus.
According to Carole Garrison, chair of the department of criminal justice and police studies, who is involved in the group, this is the first Jewish group to be established on Eastern’s campus according to her knowledge.
The group has many goals and visions for the year, for themselves as an organization and for the campus.
“It (Jewish-student group) will certainly do networking with faculty, staff and community members to bring people together to discuss and celebrate Jewish holidays, provide a supporting community for Jewish students at EKU and to promote understanding of Jewish life among the EKU community,” Garrison said, via e-mail.
Garrison also noted that among these networking activities, the group would like to host a Middle Eastern reception “to promote fellowship and discussion among students interested in the Middle East.”
Richard Freed, a professor in the department of English and theatre and another faculty member involved in the group, also has a vision for the group. He hopes the group will be an “ongoing organization that will be a place for Jewish students to come occasionally, gather and get to know each other, and share their religious and cultural interests.”
Freed said although there are very few Jewish students and faculty on campus, “everybody is welcome, Jewish and non-Jewish.”
The Jewish-student group will hold an organizational meeting today at 3 p.m. in the Meditation Chapel in Powell Plaza. The group encourages all interested undergraduate and graduate students as well as faculty and staff to attend the meeting.

Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
A rock 'n' roll reverend uses his flair for showmanship to try and save a church from foreclosure, and expose the greedy profiteer who's behind the dirty scheme in this inspirational religious drama. Georgia orphan Johnny Starr was adopted by a generous African-American family who raised him as one of their own. Years later, fresh out of seminary school, Johnny stumbles across a conspiracy to close the doors of a local church. Never one to back down from a fight, the charismatic preacher calls on his congregation to show the money-grubbing conspirators how a little faith can go a long way when it comes to protecting your community and the things it values most.

I'm sure that all of the readers of this blog are aware of the threats polar bears are facing with the decline of arctic sea ice. The Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) has pressed the issue not only through legal and decision-making channels but also through the media.
Much attention is being placed nowadays on "new media" which includes avenues like blogs and other social media and online sites. They are certainly coming into their own, but good public relations strategy incorporates all media channels - and that includes "traditional media" (believe or not, but not all people get their news and information from the Internet; I know, shocking but true).
The Center for Biological Diversity, with the help of media supporters, produced two public service announcements about polar bears for television that have, to date, reached over 90 million viewers. Here's CBD's commentary, followed by one of the two ads:
Save the polar bear? We’re doing it. Not just in court and in the papers — also in the homes of millions of people across the country. Our polar bear TV ads, showing the stark reality of warming’s effects on the bear and its habitat, have educated 90.7 million and counting, in both English and Spanish, from Alaska to New York to Arizona. Since launching, the ads have ranked 13th most popular of all public service announcements nationwide, creating the groundswell of public fervor that helped us deliver 94,000 petitions telling the Obama administration we won’t let climate change doom our polar bears, planet, and selves.
