Three little words of Italian you need to learn if you attend Il Cinema Ritrovato: Cento Anni Fa. This must-see strand of the festival, curated by Bologna’s silent cinema supremos Mariann Lewinsky and Karl Wratschko, dials back the programming clock by a century. The name means simply: a hundred years ago.
So it was that this week, in between blasts of restorative Italian sunshine and shots of iced coffee, I spent a week in the 1922 cinematic universe: a world of gorgeous location photography, penetrating psychodrama, impeccable slapstick and to generalise, a healthy number of female-led films (including a handful of nasty women). It was clearly a good year for the movies, so much so that even though I skipped some of the Cento Anni Fa screenings as they were already familiar to me (or outside my days at the festival), that left plenty of room to explore some less well-trod pathways through the year, one massive restoration project and at least one cult classic that I had been saving up for a big-screen viewing. Here are some of those highlights.
Birds Eye View is one of Silent London’s favourite film festivals – a celebration of female film-makers with an exceptionally strong and musically adventurous silent cinema strand. Last year, even though the festival was on haitus, the Sound & Silents programme brought us a selection of newly scored Mary Pickford films. This year, in keeping with the overall theme of the festival, the screenings have an Arabian flavour.
The two films in the Sound & Silents segment are, to be frank, German – but the first, Lotte Reiniger’s trailblazing cutwork animation The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926) is based on a story from 1,001 Arabian Nights, as also, perhaps more loosely, is the second, Ernst Lubitsch’s boisterous harem farce Sumurun (1920). Achmed, widely acknowledged as the first animated feature film, and still as elegantly beautiful today as in the 1920s, probably needs no introduction from me.
The latter film is a slightly guilty pleasure of mine – a rather well-made romp, enlivened by the sinuous presence of the young Pola Negri, and the more demure charms of Swedish ballerina Jenny Hasselqvist. Lubitsch himself appears as a leery clown with hunchback, but his real star turn is behind the camera, crafting a fast-paced and vivacious comedy out of unpromising material. Sumurun had been a stage hit for Max Reinhardt’s company in Berlin, and Negri had starred in both that production as well as one back in her hometown of Warsaw – perhaps it’s therefore no surprise that this film is so slick, with such larger-than-life performances, including Paul Wegener as a bully-boy sheik. I will concede, of course, that it is rarely, if ever, politically correct.
Sound & Silents is as much admired for its musical commissions as its programming, and it’s intriguing that these German Arabian pastiches will be accompanied by scored from musicians whose roots lie in both Western Europe and the Middle East – British-Lebanese Bushra El-Turk and Sudanese-Italian Amira Kheir.
Multi-award-winning contemporary classical composer Bushra El-Turk creates a new work for a chamber ensemblecombining classical Western and traditional Middle Eastern instrumentation, accompanying The Adventures of Prince Achmed, the world’s first feature-length animation. Currently on attachment to the London Symphony Orchestra’s Panufnik Programme, British-Lebanese El-Turk’s acclaimed work has also been performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra and London Sinfonietta.
Singer, musician and songwriter Amira Kheir blends contemporary jazz with East African music for a multi-instrumental 5-piece band, scoring landmark fantasy-drama Sumurun (One Arabian Night). Kheir has recently won acclaim for her ‘beautiful and fearless’ (Songlines) first album and her BBC Radio 3 and London Jazz Festival debuts.
The Barbican’s Watch Me Move animation exhibition continues all summer, and is well worth a look. These two events may be of particular interest to silent film fans, though. On 1 September, writer Marina Warner will be giving a talk in the gallery about “shadow play” animation, from Lotte Reiniger, through to more contemporary artists such as William Kentridge and Kara Walker (below):
The lecture is followed by a shadow play animation workshop – Warner will be joined by artist Reza Ben Gajra, and you’ll learn all you need to know to create your own piece in the vein of The Adventures of Prince Achmed.
Both events take place on 1 September 2011, at 6.30pm and 7.30pm. Tickets for the talk cost £10, and for the master class £12. For more details, click here, and here.
It is shaping up to be a great summer for outdoor cinema screenings in London – and that includes silent films as well. For starters, Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd are camping out in Canary Wharf with Neil Brand and the Create London festival is putting on these two gems in an unusual location in Hackney. The Folly for a Flyover is a temporary arts space in Hackney Wick, situated right under the A12. It opens later this month and is hosting five weeks of events. You can read more about this exciting project here on their website.
First up, Sawchestra are back with another interactive silent film show. The group make beautiful music from musical saws, children’s toys and other outlandish instruments and you can join them in playing along to Lotte Reiniger’s classic animation The Adventures of Prince Achmed on 25 June. That same night you will also have the chance to watch a selection of short films from Itsnicethat.com. The show starts at 8.30pm on Saturday 25 June and tickets cost £4. More details here.
July brings more delights, as the Folly hosts a screening of George Méliès’s A Trip to the Moon and other early animations, with a live score from the musicians at the Guildhall Electronic Music Studios. This event might sound a little familiar – that’s because it’s a repeat of the Barbican show on 26 June, which I wrote about in more detail here. This looks great, and I hope the atmospheric location adds to the strangeness of it all – in a good way, I mean! The show starts at 8.30pm on Saturday 9 July and tickets cost £4. More details here.
These screenings are of the Create London festival, a series of cultural events in London’s Olympic host boroughs. For more information on these and the other events in the festival, check out the website.
And thanks to @susan_carey on Twitter for the tip.
When is a silent film screening not a silent film screening? When it’s a cine-concert perhaps…
Clarinettist Arun Ghosh‘s event at the Southbank Centre in April is all about fusion. Playing as part of the Alchemy Festival, which celebrates the convergence of UK and Indian South Asian culture, the Cine-Concert also merges film and music in an unusual way. Ghosh and his musicians will perform his score to Lotte Reiniger’s pioneering animation The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926) – and as they play, their silhouettes will be projected on to the screen, mingling with Reiniger’s animated cut-outs. What’s more, the soundtrack itself takes inspiration from a diverse range of musical and cinematic references:
Ghosh’s revitalised score – written for clarinet, bass clarinet, double bass, vibraphone, cello and percussion – draws upon the cinematic orchestration styles of retro 70s blaxploitation, Bollywood melodrama, classic westerns, and the infamous Hammer horror films, with elements of hip-hop, jazz and traditional Middle Eastern sounds.
It might not be a traditional silent film screening, but it promises to be a fascinating night out. After the film-performance, there will be further live performances in the Front Room at the Queen Elizabeth Hall – these too will have been curated by Ghosh.
Arun Ghosh Cine-Concert: The Adventures of Prince Achmed plays at the Purcell Room on Saturday 23 April 2011. Ticket prices £13 or less for concessions and they are available here.

The last batch of Syria’s identified chemical weapons was removed from the country on Monday, the latest step in an unprecedented program that began just 9 months ago.
Director-General of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) Ahmet Üzümcü made the announcement from The Hague in the Netherlands.
“Never before has an entire arsenal of a category of weapons of mass destruction been removed from a country experiencing a state of internal armed conflict,” said Üzümcü. “And this has been accomplished within very demanding and tight timeframes.”
The OPCW program has been a collective effort between 30 different countries, each helping to provide needed equipment and transportation to facilitate the destruction of Syria’s stockpile of arms.
John Kerry paid tribute to the work done by OPCW to rid Syria of chemical weapons after the death of over 1,000 in an August 2013 attack.
“It’s very important, however, even as we mark this moment of removing 100 percent of the declared weapons, that we understand that our work is not finished to ensure the complete elimination of Syria’s chemical weapons program. There are still some serious issues that remain to be addressed, and we are not going to stop until those have been addressed.”
Now, the chemical weapons must be safely delivered for destruction on board the U.S. vessel Cape Ray and at commercial facilities in Finland, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States.

It’s no secret that bees are declining at an alarmingly fast rate, putting global food security at risk. These pollinators are essential for biodiversity and fruit and vegetable production, which feeds humans and animals alike.
Pesticides, mites, lack of wildflowers, and other factors have severely diminished bee populations worldwide. You might not be a fan of the beehive on your property but setting up a bee waterer is a simple way to make a big impact in saving the bees.
How to Help the Bees
Many of us set up a bee-friendly garden and avoid pesticides on our properties. You may even have a bee hive in your yard. But there are plenty of other ways to supports bees too! One of the easiest ways is to set up a water drinking station for your bees to hydrate.
Bees have trouble getting enough water from stream or puddles because of predators (such as birds, toads, spiders, and some reptiles) and when they do get close to water, they risk drowning. Bird baths aren’t suitable either because of their depth and the predatory bird they attract. On dry days, bees don’t even have access to droplets of dew on the flowers they visit. Other water sources, such as pools and fountains are typically contaminated with chlorine and other chemicals.
Bees need water to cool their hive in the summer, regulate hive humidity, and decrystalize honey in the winter. On average, a colony needs roughly one liter of water a day. Additionally, nurse bees need water to produce food for the larvae. Since bees don’t store water, they need to retrieve it daily. On an individual level, bees need water to digest and metabolize food (2).
That’s why making your own bee waterer is a great option to help your local bee population.
How to Make a Bee Waterer
Set up this bee waterer outside, near a flowering garden in the shade. If possible, keep it sheltered from the rain to make sure it doesn’t overflow.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Rocks (large and small)
- A large shallow bowl
- Clean, filtered water
- Have your kids collect rocks from outside, making sure to get rocks in varying sizes. You can also use glass marbles.
- Soak the rocks/marbles in a half-half vinegar and hot water mixture overnight.
- Rinse well and dry. Place the rocks/marbles in a wide shallow bowl or plant saucer. Make sure to have enough of them so that they fit snuggly and don’t move around. They will provide spots for bees to stand and reach the water.
- Fill the bowl/saucer halfway with water so that the rocks/marbles are partially submerged.
- Place in a spot close to your garden, flowering plants, or bee hive.
- Check the water garden daily to make sure the water levels are adequate and clean the rocks and bowl 1-2 times a week by soaking everything in the vinegar solution overnight, rinsing, and drying. This will also keep mosquitoes away.
You can also get creative and add moss, flowers, shells, and other decorative pieces to make your bee waterer really unique, like the station in the video below:

As promised, here is my review for Gemma Malley's spectacular book, The Declaration. Now this may be a little rambly, because my feelings for this book are just cakes and rainbows and butterflies and sometimes they overflow, but I'll try to keep professional here.
So The Declaration follows the story of a girl called Anna in a world where being young is illegal and people live forever. It really is a fantastic book; the world building is incredible, the characters are complex and different, and the writing is spectacular. So if you haven't read it, please go read it now and come back when you have to finish reading this and to discuss.
So this is a book I picked up from my library when they were doing a book clear out. I thought the cover was nice, it was a good, hardcover book and so I took it. Little did I know that I would absolutely love, love love it.
This book is so different to books like The Hunger Games and Divergent, even though they all fall into this "dystopian" category. What makes The Declaration so different is mainly its characters, particularly the main two.
The main character, Anna, is only fourteen, which is quite different for young adult. Ordinarily, you'll have a sixteen-eighteen year old character, full of angst and the desire to rebel. But the main character in this book is a fourteen year old girl, who is completely and utterly devoted to the rules and the authorities, even though they tell her that she is worth nothing, and an abomination on the earth. She does not want to rebel; she wants to continue her vigorous training at Grange Hall, and become a Valuable Asset. I found this really, really different and clever and right from the start I thought that this book would be a good one.
The second thing that makes this book so good is the world building. When you think world building, you think Harry Potter. You think of this massive map of the setting, with character and event annotations, a big, detailed diagram. Well, I do, anyways. And this book nails world building. I have this huge image of Grange Hall, and the world where it's set in. I think the ways that Surpluses, Legals and the whole Declaration were incorporated were fantastic. I am completely and utterly in awe of Gemma Malley, because I feel like in any other book, trying to put in all these different things into one book, it would be either super confusing, info dumping, or a really long book. I think this is one of the main reasons why this is now one of my favourite books; the fact that there is such a good world built so quickly that it engulfs you completely and makes you feel like this world is real.
Anna: I actually really liked Anna as a character, and to be honest, I'm not sure why. In theory, I should have been suspicious and distrusting of her from the start, but I wasn't. Maybe I was empathizing with her, maybe I saw that she just needed to come round, I don't know but I did like her character. I thought that maybe she could have been a little more outspoken as the series sent on, a little more self-confident and such, but I guess after being held in Grange Hall, confidence and outspokenness might be hard to regain.
Peter: Peter. Sighs. I really liked Peter in this book, it's probably my favourite book for Peter's character. He was steely and strong and I had to keep reminding myself that he is only fourteen in this book. He was also super-confident in what he believed, without a doubt sort of trust in his morals. He knew what he relied on and he stuck to it. However strong and confident he was, he was still clumsily in love. an awkward teenager. I use clumsily because I feel like it's the best word to describe their relationship, and I mean this completely in a good way. They're fourteen, they are young and awkward. And yet very, very adorable.
Favourite/Least Favourite Scenes
Favourite: To be perfectly honest, going back to my previous point about Anna/Peter relationship, my favourite scenes were when they were in Solitary together, where she was just starting to see things how they should be seen, where she was just starting to believe and trust Peter. I think relationships in books don't focus on "love" a lot, whether the words "I love you" are exchanged or not. I remember reading the scene where Peter first kisses Anna and sending a message to all my friends saying that this scene was what love and relationships in books should be like. I remember wondering whether I was portraying the relationships in my books like this. So that's why these scenes are my favourite.
Least Favourite: This is probably super-predictable, but when her parents were killed. It was just really sad that after everything that they'd done to make sure she was safe and coming back, it all seemed sort of pointless (even though it really wasn't.) Of course, it was beautifully written and for a purpose and everything else, but it was just sad.
So, share your thoughts on The Declaration below in the comments or on twitter (@lilypherondale or @awordisanarrow) and I will reply and we can discuss it together! Also, if you're leaving a comment, be sure to leave your twitter/instagram name and I will follow/shout you out :)
And just some extra exciting news, on my personal twitter, @lilypherondale, the author of this book, Gemma Malley, followed me and retweeted my tweet! I was ecstatic because I am in awe of her work and I think she is an incredible author. Thank you so much!

"Jennifer Jordan completely stole the show for me!
Her energy, performance and quirky character drew me in. I couldn’t keep my eyes off her whenever she entered the stage"
- Chi-Lin Nim, Peoples Theatre Review of ELSC's Macbeth
Who is ‘Jennifer’ and what does she do?
Keep reading to learn of her past, sign up to mailing list to learn of her future. At present, she’s probably just having a cuppa and a ginger nut.
You might as well ask what doesn’t she do – it might be simpler. Jennifer Jordan likes all of the things. The three main staples of the diet she calls ‘her life’, though are Shakespeare, Improv, and songwriting. Let’s start with Shakespeare, cos she liked him first…
It’s difficult to pin-point when Jennifer first fell for The Bard, but it was long enough ago that at the end of her Acting degree at Bretton Hall College, both her dissertation and final year directing piece were dedicated to him. At the centre of both these assessments was her fascination with the changes in attitudes towards Shakespeare’s plays and the slow transition from popular culture to high art that has taken place over the last few hundred years since his work was originally being performed. Jennifer’s passion lies with creating a sense of immediacy, excitement, and connection between performers and audience when performing Shakespeare. This is why her afore mentioned directing piece was a mock Shakespearean comic tragedy performed with Cue Scripts. Jennifer performed the leading roles of Portia in The Merchant of Venice, Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing, and Adriana in A Comedy of Errors with regional open-air touring company Theatre of the Dales when she lived in Yorkshire. After being inspired by the professional intensive she took at Shakespeare’s Globe in January 2017, Jennifer decided to start up her own online Shakespeare project with co-creator Anna Rose James. Thus Sonnet Sisters was born – a weekly vlog in which Anna and Jennifer do a blind reading, analysis and performance of each of Shakespeare’s 154 sonnets. So that’s three years of her life sorted.
In 2014, Jennifer disappeared to the far off magical unicorn land of Canada and stayed there as long as official paperwork stuff allowed – which was about 18 months. There, she was formally introduced to what is now her second love: IMPROV! Though they’d had fleeting meetings throughout Jennifer’s acting training, it was in the city of Vancouver that the two really fell for each other. They would meet in the day and by moonlight as often as they could through whatever means they could, including Second Storey Theatre, Instant Theatre, and of course Vancouver Theatresports League where it all began. Jennifer became a member of VTSL’s Rookie League Season 8, spending six months as a regular player in an incredible team of talented improvisers. She also had the joy of playing in Girl Jam and as a guest performer with the mainstage cast just before she left to return to London. Jennifer also played with The Fictionals in Vancouver and with Jet City Impro when she passed through Seattle after leaving Vancouver.
As soon as Jennifer returned to London in 2016, she sought out the improv scene and quickly joined the cast of Nursery Originals show The Restaurant, directed by Jinni Lyons. She has since become heavily involved with The Nursery and is now a core part of the team, helping the theatre and the improv community grow. She is currently a performer with: The Concept: an improvised concept album, presented as a live gig – the creation of Heather Urquhart (Showstoppers, Maydays), Jules Munns (Maydays), Joe Samuel (The Maydays), and Fred Deakin (Lemon Jelly); Actor’s Nightmare (with Steven Steen, Lee Simpson, Steve Frost, Ruth Bratt, Niall Ashdown, Susan Harrison, and Sally Hogkiss); Somewhat Theatre; and Impromptu Shakespeare. Earlier this year saw her improv directing debut with Boxed In – a show which takes inspiration from an audience member’s childhood imagination and creates a worlds with nothing but cardboard. When she’s not performing, Jennifer can also be found teaching classes and hosting the odd Thursday Night Lights/Carousel. She has also trained with The Showstoppers and The Free Association.
If music be the food of love, play that ukulele. Whimsy. Heartbreak. Marty McFly. Zombies. Puns. Defiance. Jennifer ponders all these significant life experiences, musically emitting them from her brain to your earholes. She writes from the heart and nothing is off the table in terms of subject matter. After joining GYAWS (a songwriting group called Get Your Ass Writing Songs which challenges writers to create a new song every week), Jennifer has written about almost every aspect of life that spikes her interest. Her love of science and passion for talking about mental health are often prevalent, along with her amorous relationship with wordplay. Jennifer writes bespoke songs too for any occasion so if you’d like a unique gift for a friend or a jingle for your company get in touch and she’ll scribble you up something utterly delightful. Book a song here, or go see her play live. It’s a real treat.


Back in the summer of 2010, Ottawa-born folkie Kathleen Edwards was approached to participate in a joint project amongst other fellow artists of the homeland celebrating the hundredth anniversary of the creation of Canada’s National Parks. On September 27th, ZÃ¶e/Rounder will release her contribution: Wapusk, a new 7″ featuring Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon. Both the title track, which he lends backing vocals to, and B-side (and forthcoming album track) “Change the Sheets” were produced by Vernon alongside Edwards. Listen to the gorgeous and acoustic “Wapusk” below. A different version of the song sans Bon Iver can be found on the National Parks Project album released earlier this year.
While Wapusk National Park isn’t quite a secluded cabin off in the north woods of Wisconsin, it’s no wonder how Vernon became interested in the project. Edwards explains on her website:
I opted for Wapusk, a remote and barren spot located in northern Manitoba, where many polar bears spend their summers denning and resting on the banks of Hudson Bay. Years since my canoe tripping summers, I found myself returning to my teenage sense of wonderment and joy being in the wilderness. I left with a new sense of myself, basking in the feeling of something I left behind and found again. I wrote a song there.”
By that time the following week, Edwards was in Wisconsin recording “Wapusk” with Vernon. “Justin Vernon set up some microphones and handed me his nylon string guitar”, and the rest is glorious folk history. “Unknowingly”, she added, “it marked the first of many months spent in the studio together”.
The sessions resulted in the recording of her upcoming fourth LP, Voyageur, slated for a January ’12 release. The new album features the Wapusk 7″ track “Change the Sheets” which is a “road ditty” as stated by Edwards that “might make you drive faster.” Thank you, Kathleen. I have been driving slow per Kanye West and Paul Wall’s recommendation since 2005. The new song is also streaming below.

Whatever your earthmoving vehicle, and whatever its use, perhaps the most important of its parts is its tyres. They’re all that separates the vehicle from the ground, and are vital in vehicle, driver and site safety. Earthmover tyres are an investment in man, machine and business. To maximise value from your investment, you must buy the correct tyres, fit them properly, and maintain and store them effectively.
Which earthmover tyres should you buy?
Choosing the right earthmover tyre is vital. Not only will the right tyre help your operation run smoothly, it is also essential to obtaining the highest level of tyre performance.
The markings on earthmover tyres comply to an international standard. One of the markings tells you which use the tyre is designed for. This is a single letter, each pertaining to a single-use classification:
Earthmover tyre markings – tread
As with other types of tyre, earthmover tyres have different shapes and depths of tread. When deciding which is best for your earthmoving vehicle, you should consider the type of surface it will encounter. This is the biggest factor in the damage that could be caused to the tyre, and the amount of grip it needs to have.
Like the use classification, treads are depicted by standard markings. Instead of letters, treads are shown by numbers as follows:
Know your earthmover tyre capacity
When selecting your earthmover tyres, you will also need to know your TKPH (tonne-kilometres per hour) or TMPH (tonne-miles per hour). This is the working capacity of the tyre. This depends on the load capacity and the number of kilometres of travel in an hour.
Tyres of the same size and tread pattern could have different TKPH ratings, depending upon the types of rubber used in the tyre manufacturing process.
Fitting earthmover tyres
Fitting earthmover tyres is a dangerous operation. It must be carried out using recommended working methods and in line with tyre safety rules. These are designed to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.
If tyres are fitted poorly, it could cause damage to the tyre and make the vehicle unsafe to operate. Incorrect fitting of earthmover tyres is, quite literally, a matter of life and death.
You must not allow non-qualified, non-experienced people to fit earthmover tyres. The stakes are simply too high.
Maintaining earthmover tyres
Once fitted and in an operational setting, earthmover tyres must be inspected regularly. This will ensure that any damage or wear is spotted early.
Checks should be made on the treads at several points on the tyre. This is best done using a depth gauge. You should also inspect the tyre for cuts, grazes, gouges and bulges on the sidewall and tread, and for damage to the bead zone.
Correct tyre inflation is crucial. Correctly inflated earthmover tyres ensure optimal performance and safety of operators, other personnel, and equipment. Underinflated and overinflated tyres could severely impact traction and braking, and cause irreparable damage to the tyre, as well as irregular wear that reduces effective tyre life.
Repairing earthmover tyres
Repairs should always be carried out by a fully trained tyre professional. They will fully inspect the tyre first and assess if the damage can be repaired. This assessment is critical, and it must be made with the tyre removed from the wheel. Only then can the technician make a sound judgement – a wrong call could lead to a dangerous repair being made.
How to store and move earthmover tyres
If you store or handle earthmover tyres incorrectly, you risk damaging them beyond repair. You may also risk accident and injury to operators.
Tyres should be stored:
When handling tyres, you should not:
It is essential that operators comply with all health and safety rules at the operating site, and wear and use personal protective equipment.
Investing in the right earthmover tyre is essential for your operation. It helps to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment, and it improves operational effectiveness. Once you have selected the correct tyre, it is essential that it is fitted correctly and maintained properly.
Because of the very serious safety factors associated with the fitting and repair of earthmover tyres, you should only ever entrust these tasks to qualified and experienced tyre technicians.

Amid faculty battle, CSU takes
The California State University board of trustees voted Wednesday to technically eliminate the cap on the salary it can offer new campus presidents.
The board was divided, 8-4, on the vote. At least one board member was concerned about the timing of the move.
"When we're telling faculty they can't have more than 2 percent, but we're looking at potentially giving new presidents 10 percent, that's not a good message to send," said board member Douglas Faigin.

Qatar's support for terrorism is no longer a strange nor talking. Doha has always been a refuge for leaders of groups that the United States and the international community consider terrorist organizations. This lasted for at least 20 years and one of those who has benefited from Qatari support for terrorism, the most dangerous man on the United States blacklist and the mastermind of the September 11 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
In this context, The Daily News published a report, by Richard A. Clarke, the national coordinator for security and counter-terrorism in the administrations of Bill Clinton and Bush, translated by Riyadh Post. In this report, the American expert said that while most people link the name of Osama bin Laden to the attacks of September 11, but another man, the real leader and the most dangerous terrorist in the eyes of the US administration, known as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed who was one of the most beneficiaries of the Qatari support for terrorism and of the provision of Doha a safe refuge to the most dangerous Terrorists and wanted internationally.
In 1993, the name of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was associated with a bomb attack on the World Trade Center, before being later confirmed to have an unparalleled ability to organize large-scale terrorist attacks and this what bin Laden himself was lacking.
The American expert notes that Sheikh Mohammed is a Pakistani who grew up in Kuwait but spent four years getting a bachelor's degree in North Carolina. After the New York attack, he returned to Manila in 1995 when he was involved in the so-called Bojinka Plot to blow up U.S. airliners in the Pacific Ocean.
By 1996, after the attacks in New York and Manila, Sheikh Mohammed was considered the most dangerous terrorist. Later that year, he was charged with a sealed criminal charge that year, but US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was trying to determine his place as a matter of high priority. It was surprising to discover that the most dangerous terrorists in the world are in Qatar where he got a job at the Qatar Water Management Corporation.
Clarke points out that the US administration was deeply shocked. As a result, an inter-agency committee chaired by the Counter-Terrorism Security Group pledged to study the appropriate measures in response to Doha harboring the world's most dangerous terrorists. A consensus has been reached in the group that trust cannot be granted to the government of Qatar in the future. In addition to submitting a request to the Qatari Security Service for the arrest and extradition of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
The US expert adds that the Qataris have a history of sympathy for terrorism as investigations have revealed that a member of the Council of Ministers in particular and a member of the royal family, who has relations with terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda, was overseeing the care of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
Clarke also explained that the US administration has drawn up all possible scenarios for the capture of Sheikh Mohammed without kidnapping him from Qatar, which would be like invading another country. Therefore, The Clinton administration has been left with just one choice which is to approach the Qataris and mitigate the latent risks, by submitting a request through the US ambassador in Doha to the Emir of Qatar to speak to the head of the Qatari security service and extradite Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. According to this request, Sheikh Mohammed has to be arrested and kept for a few hours so that the US detention team could land for transferring him to the United States.
Clarke concluded by saying that within hours of the US ambassador's meeting with the Emir, Sheikh Mohammed had dropped out of sight as the ambassador was reported that no one had been able to find him, before the Qatari government later confirmed that the most wanted terrorists had left the country, without providing any further details.

From where shall my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made the heaven and the earth.
We have now been in Costa Rica for a month. Many have asked, “So what is different there”? If I am completely honest…at this time, almost everything. The smells, the language, the food, our transportation, the kids reactions/emotions, our schedules – our lives. The transition has been tough; we miss our friends, our family, and our “normal.” And just about the time I want to scream “I can’t take it anymore!”, the Lord gently reminds me, “Lift your eyes up…”
This verse has come to have greater meaning to me in the last month. As we walk the streets or even look out our bedroom balcony (pictured above) we are bombarded with razor wire and gates and bars and frustrations. But if we just look up, we are bombarded with God’s beautiful creation, His gentle reminder that he is here and that He is where our help comes from.
At that moment, we are not overwhelmed with the different, but instead are overwhelmed and overjoyed with peace and encouragement of what the Lord has called us to do. We are so thankful to be here. The enemy tries (and will continue to try) to defeat us through the different, but we will fight and we will not be shaken! The end of Psalm 121 reads:
The sun will not smite you by day, Nor the moon by night.
The Lord will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul.
The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in
From this time forth and forever.
Thank you for your continued prayers. We seriously could not be here without the love and support of all of you! God has been faithful in answering many prayers. We are beginning to build relationships and are seeing our kids make friends- what a blessing!
Here are a few ways you can continue to pray for us:
- Pray that we will continue to adjust to life here. Our desire is to not simply survive, but to thrive!
- Pray for us in language school. Y’all, is is hard to get these old brains back into learning mode!
- Pray for us to have wisdom as parents. With culture shock/adjustment, sometimes it is difficult to know the root of certain behaviors. Pray that the Lord will direct us when to discipline and when to just give extra hugs and encouragement!
- Pray that our house in Shreveport will sell. We had an offer fall through, but trust that the Lord is in control.

On June 30th the Supreme court of Belarus has upheld Viktar Skrundzig’s appeal by cancelling his death sentence issued three months earlier by the Slukts City Court and by arranging a review of his case and a retrial.
Skrundzig was found guilty for murdering two elderly persons, burned to death in their house whose fire had been set by two other accomplices, sentenced respectively to 22 and 18 years in prison.
During the Supreme Court’s appeal, Skrundzig claimed to be innocent about the double homicide and to have confessed under pressure of the police investigators and for fear of reprisals by one of the two co-defendants, known as a prominent member of the local crime.
Belarus is the only European country that enforces the death penalty. There is scant Information about it: according to the Justice Department, from 1994 to 2014, 245 people have been sentenced to death; while according to the local associations for human rights, executions are said to be about 400, since the country gained independence in 1991.
President Alyaksandr Lukashenka has granted clemency only to one death row inmate so far.


Kochi metro: A milestone in public transport developmenttext_fields
Kochi metro has become a reality transforming the norms of developmental process in Kerala.
Touted as the country’s technically best metro service and officially named Komet, the metro service kick started its journey through Kochi, as the pride of Kerala. The project is a rare endeavor that was completed in a time bound manner, within the announced budget sans any corruption allegations. The decision to provide employment for women and transgenders in the metro is applaudable. In its maiden journey, the considerations given to the weaker sections and differently abled children in the places through which the metro passes, are surely noteworthy leaps in the celebration of progress. Let all these factors indicate the commitment of the government to undertake conscious efforts to benefit weaker sections, the socially marginalized and those who genuinely deserve the fruits of development. A public transport system that combines efficiency and technology is what forms a stable and environment-friendly developmental process.
The needs of the people will be fulfilled in a complete sense only if the different means of transportation are merged in a way that private vehicles needn’t be used. The challenge before the KMRL is to develop Kochi metro and related means of public transportation systems as an integrated public transport system good enough to be imitated by all the cities in the country. The people will be able to experience the true value of development only when the determination displayed in the construction of the metro is shown in the implementation as well. The smooth mergers of Nedumbassery airport, the bus hub in Vytilla, and the ferry service in Kochi with the metro are still in papers. The skyways connecting the two railway stations in Ernakulam, metro station, Kaloor bus stand and KSRTC bus stand also remain a dream. If the water metro project in Kochi is implemented quickly, it would become one of the finest travel routes to Fort Kochi.
If the construction and implementation of metro could not be realised so as to make possible the repayment of loan of Rs 2170 crore to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the goal of reducing the city’s traffic congestion, it wouldn’t take much time for the stream of appreciations to turn into a tsunami of criticisms. The services of feeder buses will have to be ensured to confirm the availability of the expected passengers. The success of the government in merging the different transport agencies is what will determine the future of the metro. The controversies related to the inaugural function reveal the indelicacy of our political leaders. Will the politicians ever understand the lesson that only selfless deeds will conquer the hearts of people? That is what they should understand from the thunderous applause of the audience when the name of E. Sreedharan, the project's chief architect, was mentioned.
Kerala, post controversy, has shown that the taking over of undeserving credits of all kinds under the influence of power would only be rendered a mockery. Decency and cultural decorum that go beyond politics are expected from the bureaucrats and leaders in public functions as well and not only in the process of development. The unparalleled role of Oommen Chandy government in the completion of the project the foundation of which was laid on September 13, 2012 by the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, couldn’t be forgotten. Madhyamam extends a hearty congratulations to all those who toiled hard for the accomplishment of the Rs 5182 crore project including DMRC Chief Advisor E Sreedharan and KMRL Managing Director Elias George.

We Buy Houses In Oklahoma City
We buy houses in Oklahoma City and we have been for over 40 years! In fact, buying houses in Oklahoma City is our specialty. Our family first came here in the late 1930’s and we’ve been buying houses in Oklahoma City ever since. Back then the city was much smaller. We are still amazed to see shopping centers, schools and businesses where a few short years ago there was just rolling plains and farm land.
What’s Oklahoma City like?
When we travel we still meet people who think of this great city as being behind the times. Nothing could be further from the truth. In reality it’s a sprawling metropolis with a lot of hidden treasures. We’re the home to fortune 500 companies like Devon Energy and we have one of the best costs of living you will find. If you can handle the weather, it’s a great place to call home.
Most people don’t realize that Oklahoma City is actually one of the top 5 largest cities in the united states by area. According to The City of Oklahoma City the land area of Oklahoma City is 620.34 square miles and the metro area actually extends into four counties. That’s a lot of ground to cover! Luckily we have I-240, I-35, I-44 and I-40 to make it a little easier. You can even travel parts of the historical Route 66!
We have a great downtown area with lots of great attractions. A beautiful river walk and canal. Rock climbing, night life, the Oklahoma City Dodgers and of course the Oklahoma City Thunder! What most people find here that they can’t find anywhere else is the fact that one minute you can be in the country, the next you can be in the city, and then after a drive of less than five minutes you can be back in the country. It’s one of the few places where you can find the best of the city and the best of the country both in one place.
Why do we buy houses in Oklahoma City?
We buy houses in Oklahoma City because we can meet a need. Like any major metropolitan area, there are houses, apartments, and other real estate that occasionally becomes vacant or abandon. When we buy houses in Oklahoma City we try and focus on these vacant properties. When we buy vacant houses in Oklahoma City we can invest in a house that we can turn into a home.
With our expertise, and years of experience, we can make these houses useful again. When we buy a house in Oklahoma City and we turn it into a long term rental property we can help the city and the county because we can start paying the property taxes.
Most of the time vacant houses have been neglected, and often times the property taxes haven’t been paid in several years. When we buy a house in Oklahoma City and act as a land lord we can start paying these property taxes again. That provides income for the city and for the county. These local governments can use that income for the vital services that are needed to sustain a city with a population of over 579,999 people.
When we buy houses in Oklahoma City that we intend to resell we can help get first time home buyers into a home ownership position. This is something that we really enjoy. By helping people to become home owners we can help them get on a path to creating wealth for their families.
We buy houses in Oklahoma City because we think it’s a great place to live. It’s a great place to raise a family. It’s a great place to call home. When we buy houses in Oklahoma City we are able to take properties that would otherwise sit vacant and deteriorate and we can bring them back to life. It improves the neighborhoods, it helps the city and it helps our community.
We want to buy your vacant house in Oklahoma City!
We have more experience buying houses in Oklahoma City than just about anyone around. We move fast, we close with cash and we treat every client like they are a member of our family. When you sell your house to 181-Close-Now we want the process to be as simple as possible. We handle all of the paperwork and we keep you informed every step of the way.
If you have a vacant house in Oklahoma City, or know someone who does, give us a call at 181-Close-Now or fill out our Sell My House Fast Contact Form and one of our Closing Options Analysts will be happy to speak with you to see how we can best assist you.

4 December 2019
Some business owners in the Racing Park near Dunoon are opposing the City of Cape Town’s plan to rezone the area from industrial to residential.
On 21 November, businesses were asked to comment on the City’s application to rezone three vacant plots, about 4,732 square metres of the industrial park. The proposed rezoned property will be added to land the City and provincial government bought for R64.6 million.
Renzo Schincariol, a factory owner and body corporate member at Racing Park, said the business owners were not opposed to homes being built there, but were concerned about infrastructure shortfalls like sewerage and traffic flow that were not addressed in the City’s application.
“The infrastructure won’t cope with new residential units. Public transport, which is mainly the MyCiTi bus service, is dysfunctional. We are for it if it is done properly. They need to upgrade the infrastructure drastically,” he said. He said the business park currently housed 74 businesses employing about 1,200 people from surrounding communities including Dunoon.
“The majority of our employees are from Dunoon. If you take away the industrial land, how are we going to create job opportunities?” he said.
It is believed that the rezoning is the City’s attempt to relocate some families from the nearby Siyahlala informal settlement whose shacks are built on the Transnet freight railway line. In 2018, GroundUp reported on a service delivery protest by Siyahlala residents which led to the suspension of freight trains along this route.
In its application, the City emphasised the urgency to implement its relocation plan. The City submitted two housing options should the rezoning be successful.
The first was to build prefabricated, single-storey structures with about 115 units between 25 square metres and 30 square metres. The second was to build three-storey apartment blocks with about 246 units of 21 square metre single srooms, with a bathroom shared between two units.
Either of these options would become a Temporary Relocation Area (TRA) for residents of Siyahlala in the short term and eventually house residents of the nearby Doornbach informal settlement when the area is redeveloped, states the application. In time, it is envisaged that these units will become an integrated part of the redevelopment of the Doornbach informal settlement.
In its application, the City said that the proposed Racing Park TRA would have a positive socio-economic impact on households relocated from Siyahlala and Doornbach by improving the quality of life for people currently living in dangerous conditions along the railway line.
“It will provide more secure housing structures, improved access to basic services, and links to economic opportunities … The integration of residential use within an industrial area is an opportunity to connect spatially disparate local communities and create a more tangible link between Dunoon and Doornbach informal settlements and Killarney Gardens,” the City said.

An extremely easy take on a sausage and bean stew with a rich smoky flavour. If you prefer, you could use a can of chopped tomatoes and a can of mixed beans in water instead of the baked beans but I actually find the baked beans are tastier, not to mention quicker!
This is an excellent one-pan recipe that incorporates well spiced Italian sausages with your favourite ale, peppers, onions and herbs. A lovely winter warmer. Use any sort of bangers you wish if you can't find Italian sausages.
A hearty sausage casserole with potatoes, red and green peppers and onions. It's the perfect winter midweek meal!
I use my cataplana to cook this dish, however, you can achieve the same results in a casserole dish. Wonderful and warming stew made with pork, chorizo, tomato and butter beans. Serve with crusty bread to mop up the juices.

A Vegetarian’s Heaven
I used to walk between the street vendors selling Falafel back home, and I remember the exact sound the patties would make when thrown in the oil. It was a loud crackling sound that was followed by delicious silence. I still remember the smell quite well too. I would buy a dozen for less than a dollar, dip them in sesame sauce and eat them like chips.
I once asked my grandmother where Falafel came from; and according to her, who happens to be a very reliable source in my books when it comes to anything related to food, Falafel came from Egypt. She said that fava beans were always used before it was introduced to the East Mediterranean where they used chickpeas instead. I have never tried the all fava beans Falafel, but I have tried a mix with chickpeas. I preferred it over the Falafel just made from chickpeas. In texture it had a fluffier inside with a perfect golden and crispy outside. Fluffy; maybe that’s where the word Falafel came from!
When my aunt visited us in the U.S around two years ago, we made 3 pounds of Falafel mix and saved them in the freezer. Since Falafel is a lot of work, at least I think so, making one big batch like that and saving it for later is always a great idea. We did that a lot back home, even with vegetables like zucchini and eggplant. We would curve out the insides so they can later be stuffed, boil them in hot water for about a minute with some salt and then stick them in the freezer.
- 2 cups of dried and hard chickpeas
- 2 cups of dried and peeled fava beans
- 1 bunch parsley
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Dried Coriander
- 0.5 cup Sesame seeds
- 1 tsp carbons
You have to soak the chickpeas and fava beans overnight. After you chop the parsley and the cilantro, put everything in the food processor and make it as fine as possible. When you are done the texture should be a flaky paste. The hard part is making them into little patties or balls before frying them. There is a special utensil for Falafel to make those patties but it is OK if you do not have it. If you decide to make the patties by hand, they have to go into the oil as you make them. You cannot sit them anywhere because they will fall apart within seconds. The hot oil is what keeps them intact. This brings me to another point; make sure your oil is very hot and only fry them for 2 minutes or until golden brown.
Just make sure you have the Tahini sauce on the side for dipping when the heavenly patties are hot and crispy and ready to be devoured. You can always make a sandwich as well. For the sandwich you would use pita bread. Crumble the Falafel on the pita, put a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley and tomatoes, add some cucumber or beat pickles, add the tahini sauce and eat away! If you have Sumac, which is that purple sour spice, add some too, it makes it more delicious. I put chili sauce with my sandwich as well, but that’s only because I like everything spicy!

Taipei, New Taipei sign contract to host World Masters Games
Taipei, Dec. 10 (CNA) The mayors of Taipei and New Taipei on Thursday officially signed a contract to host the 2025 World Masters Games, an international sporting competition for athletes over 30 years old.
Taipei City Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) and New Taipei City Mayor Hou Yu-ih (侯友宜) formalized the agreement in a video call with Kai Holm and Jens V. Holm, who are, respectively, the president and CEO of the International Masters Games Association (IMGA), which organizes the event.
The games, which are held every four years, are open to athletes over the age of 30 in a wide range of sports, competing as individuals rather than part of a national team.
Taipei and New Taipei were confirmed as the hosts in October, edging out the French capital Paris and the Australian city of Perth for the right to host the 2025 edition of the games, which are scheduled for May 17-30.
In a pre-recorded video message played at the contract signing, President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) said that Taiwan aims to host the most successful edition of the games ever and do its utmost to realize the ideal of "Sports for All."
Taiwan will build on its past experience hosting international sporting competitions, including the 2009 Deaflympics in Taipei, 2009 World Games In Kaohsiung, and the 2017 Taipei Summer Universiade, in organizing the games, Tsai said, adding that the entire country will work to support the host cities.
She thanked the IMGA for its support and recognition, and praised the games' no restrictions on entry as allowing athletes to "fully express (their) love of sports."
When Taipei and New Taipei first announced the news in October, Taipei Deputy Mayor Tsai Ping-kun (蔡炳坤) said that about 48,000 athletes and their families from 110 countries are expected to visit Taiwan for the games, which will feature 32 sports categories.
It is estimated the games will cost about NT$1.6 billion (US$55.6 million) to host in Taiwan, Tsai said at the time.
The games are expected to bring in NT$10 billion in tourism revenue, according to Li Tzai-li (李再立), head of the Taipei city government's sports department.
The World Masters Games, launched in 1985 in Toronto, are usually held the year after the Olympics, according to IMGA.
The last edition of the games was in Auckland, New Zealand in 2017, while the next one will be hosted in Japan's Kansai region in 2022, one year after originally scheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The university degree is invented and he is actually a Catholic: The inconsistencies in the CV of the recently elected US Republican George Santos call the public prosecutor on the plan. The lies of the 34-year-old are "simply breathtaking".
A criminal investigation has been launched into newly elected Republican US Congressman George Santos for forging his resume. The "lies and inconsistencies" associated with Santos are "simply breathtaking," said prosecutor Anne Donnelly in a statement released by several major US media outlets on Wednesday. Nassau County residents "need to have an honest and accountable representative in Congress," she added. "No one is above the law and if a crime has been committed in this county we will prosecute it."
In addition, Santos told the New York Post, contrary to what was claimed during the campaign, that he was not Jewish, but Catholic. Santos apologized for what he himself said had "embellished" his resume. However, Santos rejected calls from the Democratic Party to give up his seat in Congress. "I'm not a criminal," he told the New York Post.
Several members of the Democratic Party had called on Kevin McCarthy, the current Republican minority leader in the House of Representatives, to put Santos' expulsion to a vote if he didn't resign of his own accord. Republican Santos had helped his party secure a narrow majority of 222 to 212 seats in the House of Representatives with his victory against his Democratic challenger Robert Zimmerman in the Democrat stronghold of New York in the midterm elections. In the Senate, the other chamber of Congress, the Democrats retained their majority.


PRESSURE is mounting in Jedburgh for the town to get a major supermarket to add to the small Co-op it already has, writes Mark Entwistle.
But there is controversy over the possible loss of land zoned by the local authority for industrial development.
One application for a site at Bankend South Industrial Estate was refused at the end of April for a number of reasons, including the fact that it would result in the loss of what is termed ‘employment’ land and also because it as an out-of-centre location it could threaten existing town centre businesses.
The other, longer standing, application is for a supermarket development on the former Oregon Timber Frame company site at the northern edge of the town and which has not yet been determined.
However, an SBC spokesperson told TheSouthern this application has been the subject of considerable dialogue with the developer on the issue of retail impact.
No date has yet been set for SBC planning committee to make a decision, although an outcome is expected within the next two months or so.
One irate Jedburgh resident told TheSouthern that any loss of employment land was specifically against planning policy and could not be condoned, especially at a time when new businesses needed to be helped in order stimulate the economy.
“It is widely acknowledged that a food store is needed for Jedburgh and Eyemouth, but not at the expense of employment land which is of great importance to the growth and sustainability of the Scottish Borders economy,” said the person.
Local Scottish Borders Council member Len Wyse said a large number of the town’s residents have been arguing for a major supermarket.
“They don’t want to travel far due to rising costs of fuel and time taken,” said Councillor Wyse. “A good supermarket could keep them in town and maybe they would use our struggling High Street shops more.
“It’s all very well keeping some land available for employment but if a supermarket can employ in the region of say 60 to 70 part and full-time workers then surely that’s classed as employment.
“I don’t go with the figure of more than 100 employees, I think that was egging the application too much. But extra employment should help the local economy be more buoyant. It may also be an extra encouragement for folk wanting to move here, so helping our local builders.”
And he warned: “I’m afraid there is no getting away from it but folk enjoy the new supermarket experience and if it does not come here then the shopper will go out of town.”
Fellow local authority representative Sandy Scott added: “Suffice to say Jedburgh could do with another food retailing outfit – it would give the Jedburgh residents a greater choice on price, quality and variety, and would also create a number of jobs.”
Councillor Tom Brown said as the only Jedburgh councillor on SBC’s planning committee, it would be wrong of him to pre-empt the outcome.
“Normally the local member would be asked to lead the debate on the day and this will, of course, be a very important decision for the committee to take and I can assure the citizens of my town that I will make sure that it will not be taken lightly,” he said.

Finding ideal figures for the Zanzibari Arabs and Swahilis that faced off against Wissmann and his force is probably never going to happen. Short of winning the lottery and having specific figures commissioned (which also is probably never going to happen), I have decided to use a fairly obscure range of figures from East Riding Miniatures. There are a few reasons to use the ERM. First, the figures look close to what I would use in 28mm and there are a variety of packs available. Second, they are decently priced at $3.79 a pack. And third, the service I have had from ERM's Tony Barr in the past has always been outstanding. The only issue I may have is that the German forces, due to using Old Glory 15s and Blue Moon Manufacturing, may tower over the ERM figures as I have never seen a comparison picture of the three ranges side by side (which I will take once I collect figures for Ost Afrika). But, as these forces are on opposite sides of the coin, any height variation should not be that noticeable on the game table.
ERM has Arab swordsmen, musketmen, crossbowmen, command, and dead figures in their colonial range. I will forego the crossbow figures as they are of no use. I will use a fairly high proportion of musketmen as one source I have indicates that they were mostly equipped with small arms.
As for painting, I have this information:
Skin - varied, from olive to dark brown, with the number of generations a family had been settled in East Africa. Beards occasionally dyed red with henna.
Gown - a long shirt with full-length sleeves. Originally this was a dull yellow, but by the 1870s was usually white, its brightness increasing with status. At the waist there was usually a sash, often white although any color could be used. A shorter shirt, in a striped or patterned fabric, was sometimes worn over the gown.
Waistcoats and Jackets - dark blue or red zouave style with contrasting edging and decoration.
Overmantles - in very dark blue or red, worn by leaders.
Hats - white fezzes or turbans. Wealthier Arabs often used multicolored, striped silks for their turbans.
Flags - a blood-red flag was the sign of a caravan from Zanzibar, although the contingents of individual leaders carried their own flags. These were probably simple vertical or horizontal strips of blue, red or white fabric added as borders to a basic red flag. Sometimes patterned fabrics may have been used for these stripes.
So, there we have it, basic figure ideas for the Wissmanntruppe and their enemies. I've summarized this information on the Figures page.

Updated at 8:18 p.m. on Friday, March 15, 2019, with more information and photos.
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Despite a mountain of obstacles the Brainerd boys' basketball team had overcome just to reach the state tournament, there was one towering hurdle it could not overcome in Friday afternoon's Class AA semifinals at Middle Tennessee State University.
Technically, there were two towering hurdles — Wooddale 6-foot-8 senior center Chandler Lawson and his 6-7 younger brother Jonathan — the Panthers could not overcome.
The brothers Chandler dominated the paint in such a way that they led the Cardinals to a 76-65 win to advance to Saturday's state championship game, where they will face perennial powerhouse Knoxville Fulton at 2 p.m. EDT.
"We knew it was going to be a dogfight with those two guys they've got down low," Panthers coach Levar Brown said. "We hadn't seen size like that, or as skilled as that, this season, so we knew it would be tough going in."
Chandler Lawson, an Oregon signee, finished with 14 points, 13 rebounds and six blocked shots, and his younger brother narrowly missed a triple-double, adding 12 points, 15 rebounds, nine assists and three blocks. All five Cardinals starters scored in double figures.
With the Lawsons and 6-6 sophomore Coland Carr patrolling the interior, the Panthers (23-11) never were able to get off an uncontested shot from inside the 3-point arc. Needing to rely on its outside shooters to keep the game close, Brainerd also struggled there, which prevented its defense from utilizing the full-court press that had helped the undersized team advance to the state's final four.
The Panthers, who have no players on the roster taller than 6-4, made just 27 percent of their first-half field-goal tries, including three of 16 3-point attempts.
"We can't press if we don't make shots, and that took us out of what we wanted to do," Brown said. "I thought we played a little intimidated in the first half, especially that first quarter, and (Wooddale) was knocking down their shots.
"But I'm extremely proud of our effort. We battled right to the very end, and this was a good experience for a team with several guys coming back next season."
Wooddale, which is making its state tournament debut, closed out the first quarter with a 10-0 run to take command, and Brainerd never got closer than four the rest of the way. A 17-2 run to end the second quarter put the game away, and after the Cardinals (32-4) led by as many as 27 points in the second half, the Panthers used a 17-9 fourth-quarter rally to get within the final margin.
The Panthers, who were making their fourth state tournament appearance in five years and trying to get back to the title game for the first time since 2016, were led by junior point guard Kevin Halfacre's game-high 20 points.
"We learned that we have to play hard the whole game," Halfacre said. "This was a great season. but I'm making a promise to my brothers on this team who are coming back that we will get back here next year and there will be a different outcome."

The world of high-yield corporate bonds and the world of investment-grade corporate bonds may be nearing another near-term inflection point. Many retail investors have to go find yield elsewhere outside of the Treasury market, and most investors are still very risk-averse when it comes to credit quality. The allure of much higher yields often has to be tempered by credit quality and that has investors currently focusing on investment-grade corporates.
The iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade (NYSE: LQD) ETF currently screens out with a yield north of 4.4% and today is going to be a new index high. Shares had a previous high of $116.41 and the new price hit a high of $116.57 today. The yield fluctuates here because of monthly payments, so you will have to screen your own yield analysis.
The SPDR Barclays Capital High Yield (NYSE: JNK) ETF currently screens out with a yield of about 7.7%, but this has fluctuating payments also and you cannot just trust the past dividends payment each month as always remaining static. While this is within three percent or so of its 52-week high, this junk bond ETF is down two-cents at $39.38 and the 52-week trading range is $34.09 to $40.93. The shares have been weak in the last week after it looked as though it was poised for a new high.
Where this gets very interesting is the longer-term. If the ‘risk-on’ trade is going to work and if the interest rates are going to remain low for another two years, today’s action and the action over the last week might not last.
