Depending on just what one includes as being in Southern Italy, it forms the "boot" of the Italian peninsula, containing the ankle (Abruzzo and Molise and sometimes southern Lazio), the toe (Calabria), and the heel (the southern half of Apulia). Separating the two is the Gulf of Taranto, named after the city of Taranto, which sits at the angle between the heel and the boot itself.

On the eastern coast is the Adriatic Sea, leading into the rest of the Mediterranean through the Strait of Otranto (named after the largest city on the tip of the heel). The Strait of Otranto connects the Adriatic Sea with the Ionian Sea. On the Adriatic, south of the "spur" of the boot, the peninsula of Monte Gargano (Policastro), the Gulf of Salerno, the Gulf of Naples, and the Gulf of Gaeta are each named after a large coastal city.

From then to the Norman conquest of the 11th century, the south of the peninsula was constantly plunged into wars between Greek, Lombard, and the Caliphate. The Normans were the people who gave their names to Normandy, a region in northern France. A caliphate (from the Arabic خلافة or khilāfa) is the political leadership of the Muslim community in classical and medieval Islamic history The Norman conquest of southern Italy completely subjugated the Lombard principalities, integrated the Islamic element, and overwhelmed the Byzantines from all but Naples, which ultimately gave in to Roger II in 1127.

The transition to a united Kingdom of Italy was not smooth for the South. The Kingdom of Italy ( Italian: Regno d'Italia) was a state forged in 1861 by the unification of Italy under the influence of the Kingdom The Southern economy was much more agrarian and feudal than the industrial northern economy (still Salerno, "the Manchester of the two Sicilies", could count in 1877 something like 10000 textile workers, more than twice the textile labour of widely-known productive centers like Turin). Salerno is a town in southern Italy, capital of the province of the same name in the region of Campania. Poverty and organized crime, tho were persistent problems in Southern Italy as well. "Crime syndicate" redirects here For the DC Comics group of villains see Crime Syndicate. Because of this, the South experienced great economic difficulties resulting in massive emigration leading to a worldwide Southern Italian diaspora. The term Italian Diaspora refers to the large-scale migration of Italians away from Italy in the period roughly between the unification of Italy in 1861 and the beginning of Many natives also relocated to the industrial cities in northern Italy, such as Genoa, Milan and Turin. Genoa ( Genova, ˈdʒɛːnova in Italian; Zena in Genoese and Ligurian; Genua in Latin and archaically in English Milan (Milano Milan (listen) is one of the largest cities in Italy, located in the plains of Lombardy.
Today, the South remains considerably less economically developed than the North. Southern Italian secession movements have developed, but have gained little, if any, significant influence.
In spite of the fact that in recent history southern Italy has been less affluent than the North, in the past southern Italy was often a prosperous and advanced area, culturally and economically more wealthy than northern or central Italy, and a leader in European cultural and political affairs. Naples ( Napoli, Neapolitan: Nàpule) is a historic City in southern Italy, the Capital of the
The Norman Kingdom of Sicily was prosperous and politically powerful, becoming one of the wealthiest states in all of Europe. The Kingdom of Sicily (Regnum Siciliae or Sicilie Regno di Sicilia, commonly abbreviated Regno) was a state that existed in the south of Italy
In the 11th and 12th centuries, Sicily and the Kingdom of Naples played a major role in European affairs and exhibited many signs of prosperity. The Kingdom of Naples was an informal name of the Polity officially known as the Kingdom of Sicily which existed on the mainland of the southern Italian Some historians say, however, that by the middle of the 13th century, due to fiscal policies that prevented the growth of a strong merchant class, the region became economically backward compared to the northern Italian states. . Unlike the rest of Italy, which experienced the rise of many small, independent and prosperous city states, all enterprise in the comparatively large kingdom centred on the capital city of Naples. A city-state is a Region controlled exclusively by a City, usually having Sovereignty. The outlying areas, cursed with generally poor agricultural conditions, fell further behind. Sicily's trade fell primarily under Catalan control. The Catalans are the people from Catalonia, an Autonomous community of Spain, including people originating in that region but living elsewhere In spite of economic repression, Southern Italy did experience periods of cultural flowering. With the Spanish conquest, however, the kingdom continued to be repressed and exploited by foreign rule until the late 18th century and when Bourbon rule meant a native court and a time of enlightenment. The House of Bourbon is an important European Royal house, a branch of the Capetian dynasty.
According to some historians, during the time of the Bourbons the kingdom became a highly productive area. The House of Bourbon is an important European Royal house, a branch of the Capetian dynasty. It was the first place in all of Italy to build railways and a local manufacturing base was growing. "Railroad" and "Railway" both redirect here For other uses see Railroad (disambiguation. Following occupation by the Kingdom of Sardinia and the unification with the rest of Italian peninsula in 1861, factory technology which the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies had gained from the British was taken away to Piemonte, Lombardy and Liguria.

According to some, because of Italian unification, southern Italy's status declined and, as a result, suffered mass emigration, especially between 1892 and 1921.  Corruption, which had grown since Bourbon control was destroyed, was such a large problem that Giovanni Giolitti admitted that there were places "where the law does not operate at all". Giovanni Giolitti ( October 27, 1842 &ndash July 17, 1928) was an Italian statesman  One study released in 1910 examined tax rates in north, central and southern Italy indicated that northern Italy with 48% of the nation's wealth paid 40% of the nation's taxes, while the south with 27% of the nation's wealth paid 32% of the nation's taxes.  There were also several natural disasters (earthquakes and landslides) during this period, often killing hundreds of people with each disaster. Giolitti's poor response to a major earthquake in Messina in 1908 was blamed for the high number of deaths. The management of the aftermath of the Messina earthquake infuriated southern Italians who claimed that Giolitti favoured the rich north over them.
With the introduction of Italian Fascism, the government of Benito Mussolini succeeded in defeating many of the illicit crime organisations, which had risen because of the lack of governmental control, born when the Bourbons were defeated by Garibaldi. The term Italian Fascism denotes the totalitarian Fascismo political movement that ruled Italy from 1922 until 1943 under leader Benito Mussolini Mussolini and the Fascists also made a genuine attempt to bring Italy forward as a nation and even began developing some southern and central areas, instead of purely focusing on the north as had the previous governments. This was a moment when "Italianism" seemd a reality to some Southerners, instead of regionalism. During the 1950s, the regional policy the Cassa per il Mezzogiorno was set up to help raise the living standards in the South to those of the North. The Cassa per il Mezzogiorno ( English: Register or Fund for the South) was a public effort by the government of Italy to stimulate economic The Cassa aimed to do this in two ways: by land reforms creating 120,000 new small farms, and through the "Growth Pole Strategy" whereby 60% of all government investment would go to the South, thus boosting the Southern economy by attracting new capital, stimulating local firms, and providing employment. As a result the South became increasingly subsidized and dependent, incapable of generating growth itself.
Today, in spite of increased affluence and a much improved economy, the regional disparities persist. Southern Italy continues to be the least prosperous area of Italy. Problems continue to include corruption, organized crime and relatively high unemployment. "Crime syndicate" redirects here For the DC Comics group of villains see Crime Syndicate. Southern Italy includes 37% of Italy's population, occupies 40% of its land area, but only produces 24% of its gross domestic product. This does not, however, include the large underground informal economy, reported to be as high as 30% of GDP. In Economics, the term informal economy (or second economy in the South African context refers to all economic activities that fall outside the formal  After being suppressed during the 1920s and 1930s, the organised crime networks were "set free" by the United States who claimed to think they were genuine "anti-fascist movements" and they grew to a level they had never done before; since this time, as the majority of Italy's political groups have been leftist and completely unable to control corruption, or on the other hand the political groups were actively involved with corruption, it has remained today, mostly visibly in the form of a landfill management problem.

The regions of Southern Italy were exposed to some different historical influences than the rest of the peninsula, starting most notably with Greek colonization. Palermo ( Sicilian: Palermu, Greek: Panormus, al-Madinah during Muslim rule is a historic City in Greek influence in the South was dominant until Latinization was completed by the time of the Roman Principate.

Until the Norman conquests of the 11th and 12th centuries much of the South followed Eastern rite (Greek) Christianity. The Normans were the people who gave their names to Normandy, a region in northern France. The Normans and other northern rulers of the Middle Ages significantly impacted the architecture, religion and high culture of the region. Later, Southern Italy was subjected to rule by the new European nation states, first Aragon, then Spain and Austria. Aragon ( Spanish: "Aragón") is an autonomous community of Spain.

Affordable Mechanical is a Coleman Liberties Plus dealer, which provides a variety of services and programs that are designed to help manage their business and meet the needs of customers.
For example, Linda said that Net.Prophet has been particularly useful. The online tool allows participating contractors to download business models and processes, materials, forms and lead-generation systems.
“We ‘live’ in Net.Prophet,” said Linda. “For starters, we’re using it to develop the first marketing plan we’ve ever had by following the steps and advice that Net.Prophet provides to us. Along with that, we’re working hard on our leads, learning new ways to generate leads and then track them so that the leads eventually become customers - simple things like asking people who call us how they heard about us and then noting that information. Asking that single question helps us see where leads are coming from and knowing what marketing efforts are working for us.”
Linda also said that the company is planning to add a telemarketer to the staff to talk with new and existing customers.
“We have a database of customers and we’d like to be sure they’re happy and content so that they’ll use us again,” she said. “We’re also putting a referral program in place that offers discounts to customers who refer us to new customers.”
Net.Prophet is also supporting the service side of the business. Rick Montgomery redesigned his installation invoices to make it easier for installers to order products.
“In addition, he’s using new service invoices that Net.Prophet recommends,” said Linda. “These invoices capture a lot more information from the customer, including information about their existing HVAC equipment, that helps Rick recommend the system or service that best meets the needs of a customer.”
He is also using a homeowner questionnaire to gather additional information that will assist him as he prepares proposals for his customers and suggest service.
Other tools available to dealers who represent the Coleman brand include the Build-A-Brochure program, an online resource that allows dealers to customize product brochures. The program enables dealers to tailor content to the specific needs of their customers. The Montgomerys also used the direct mail program and participated in co-op advertising and co-marketing programs.
Affordable Mechanical was the first Coleman dealer to reserve the new Coleman mini display trailer. The 8-foot by 12-foot trailer showcases Coleman HVAC equipment and is available to dealers for consumer events, like mall and home shows.
“It’s absolutely beautiful,” said Linda. “We took it to the Toledo (Ohio) Home Show in March and watched as it attracted a lot of attention to our booth. We probably collected in the neighborhood of 50 leads at that show and got an immediate sale, thanks in large part to the trailer. We even had our competitors visiting us because they were totally impressed with the trailer. We were absolutely thrilled and are hoping to use it again next year.”


MARLINTON, W.Va. (WBOY) — An 11-year-old boy was killed while hunting with his father on Thanksgiving morning, the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources confirmed.
According to natural resource officers, the father and son were hunting in the Bear Mountain area of Pocahontas County when the boy suffered a fatal gunshot wound.
The incident occurred on the West Virginia-Virginia state line, and agencies from both states responded, officers said.
At this time, an investigation remains underway by West Virginia natural resource officers, with assistance from the West Virginia State Police, the Virginia Conservation Police and the Highland County Sheriff’s Department, according to natural resource officers.
No further information is available at this time.

The countries that line the Mediterranean Sea eat a diet rich in seasonal fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, olive oil and fish. They don’t eat a lot of red meat or sweets and typically enjoy alcohol in moderation. They also typically lead an active lifestyle.
Research studies have shown there are many health benefits for following a Mediterranean style diet.
Mediterranean diet is associated with the following health benefits (1):
- Help lower cholesterol
- Help with weight loss
- Improve rheumatoid arthritis
- Lower risk for Alzheimer’s
- Lower risk for type 2 diabetes
- Lower risk for certain cancers
To get these health benefits from the Mediterranean diet, incorporate these simple tips into your everyday lifestyle.
Start changes gradually and over time so they develop into long term habits.
1. Eat more fish in place of red meat.
It makes sense people living around the Mediterranean Sea eat mostly fish and seafood for protein source.
However, most Americans have a hard time reaching the recommended two servings of fish per week guideline.
Switching to a Mediterranean based eating plan means swapping out some red meat for fish and seafood.
Omega 3’s are anti-inflammatory and are one reason why eating a Mediterranean diet can help lower inflammation in the body.
2. Use olive oil in place of other fats.
The Mediterranean diet is not considered a low fat diet.
However, the main fat sources are olive oil and nuts which are high in heart healthy monounsaturated fats.
Using olive oil in place of butter, mayo and refined vegetable oils is a main component of the Mediterranean diet.
Mayo Clinic (2) also suggests using extra virgin olive oil to get the highest levels of antioxidants.
3. Plan meals around vegetables.
Most Americans are used to planning meals around meat. However, the Mediterranean diet is much more plant focused.
Eating more fruits and vegetables is a staple for following this diet. As the USDA recommends, plan your meals with fruits and vegetables taking up half your plate instead of as a side item.
Meal plan around vegetables instead of focusing on meat.
For snacks, make them fruit and vegetable focused instead of using chips or crackers.
The antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals from fruits and vegetables play an important role for the health benefits associated with following a Mediterranean diet.
4. Add more legumes to your diet.
The Mediterranean diet has a higher consumption of legumes than a typical Western diet, and the reasons to add more legumes to your diet are many.
Legumes are high in protein and fiber which is probably why they are beneficial for weight maintenance.
They are also a good source of many minerals and antioxidants. The recommended intake for legumes (4) is 3 cups per week.
You can use legumes in place of meats during meal times.
Examples can include: adding beans to tacos, salads, soups, stir fries and egg dishes.
Eating hummus with vegetables and whole grain chips can be a healthy snack choice as well.
5. Use more spices and herbs in place of salt.
Herbs and spices have high antioxidant content. Using these in place of salt can help boost nutrient values for dishes and lower sodium levels.
Most Americans get too much sodium which can increase risk for high blood pressure in certain individuals.
The Mediterranean diet is lower in salt and focuses more on fresh herbs and spices.
6. Snack on nuts instead of packaged snacks.
Besides olive oil, nuts and seeds are another source of heart healthy fats in the Mediterranean diet.
Like legumes, they are also high in protein and fiber which means they are a satisfying snack.
Swapping nuts in place of other snacks like chips or crackers can be a helpful tip for eating a more Mediterranean like diet.
Keep in mind the recommended serving is about an ounce of nuts per day, which is roughly the size of a small handful.
7. Cut down on sweets.
The Mediterranean diet puts sweets and red meats on top of the eating pyramid meaning these should only be eaten sparingly.
Instead of turning to sweets for a snack or dessert, opt for eating more fruits.
Instead of eating packaged cookies for snacks, choose nuts, whole grains, fruits or vegetables.
Use sweets as an occasional treat not a staple in your diet.
8. Swap in more whole grains in place of refined grains.
Instead of white bread, white rice or sweetened cereal, choose whole grain alternatives.
The Mediterranean diet emphasizes a diet high in the plant foods legumes, fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
Choosing whole grains means you are getting the natural nutritional value of the whole plant: fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
9. If you drink alcohol, drink in moderation.
If you already drink alcohol, make sure you are drinking in moderation.
Drinking alcohol, especially red wine, is common along the Mediterranean region, and drinking in moderation is associated with some health benefits.
Moderation is considered one 5 ounce wine serving per day for women and up to two 5 ounce wine servings per day for men (5).
Drinking more than the recommended moderation servings can increase risk for many negative health consequences.
If you don’t drink alcohol or have trouble keeping your intake to the moderate dose, don’t start drinking alcohol.
10. Get more movement in your daily life.
The Mediterranean lifestyle emphasizes eating certain foods, but exercise is also a big piece of their way of life.
Traditionally, people in this region do much walking as part of their lifestyle.
To get the full benefits of the Mediterranean, incorporate more movement in your day.
If you sit at a desk for most of the day, take walk breaks or other exercise breaks throughout the day to break up long periods of sitting.

Breast cancer has become increasingly prevalent with the majority of deaths being reported from under-developed and developing countries owing to limited medical infrastructure. Special care should be dedicated to breasts for ensuring anything out of the ordinary is swiftly detected and can be consulted with certified medical professionals.
Identifying Breast Cancer
Early diagnosis of the disease is only possible by fully understanding breast cancer warning signs. While having their knowledge of is recommended for everyone, undergoing frequently scheduled mammograms and screening tests is just as important. These tests significantly improve breast cancer survival rate and enables doctors to reduce chances of cancerous progression.
Breast cancer is caused by a wide variety of factors, among which the leading ones are mentioned below:
- Being overweight and refusing to improve lifestyle.
- Usage of tobacco and second hand smoking.
- Indulgence and abuse of alcohol.
- Unbalanced diet and poor nutrition.
- Being generally lazy.
- Hereditary characteristics.
- Sexually transmitted Human Papillomavirus Infection.
- Infections which are caused by hepatitis or similar diseases.
- Exposure to dangerous amounts of radiation.
- Living in a polluted environment.
- Long-term inhalation of smoke derived from fossil fuels.
5 Prominent Breast Cancer Warning Signs
Breast cancer usually manifests in the form of a foreign, solid, irregular mass in the breast which does not have any feeling. However, they can also be soft or smooth in feeling and cause pain upon physical contact or result in continued discomfort.
To protect one’s self against chances of breast cancer being diagnosed out of the blue, the following 7 warning signs endorsed by doctors can be actively referred:
1. Pain in the Chest and/or Breast Areas
Breast tumors have no reliable form and can appear as a single, solid mass or even as scattered, inter-connected clusters. The variable shapes can cause equally different sets of symptoms ranging from pain and swelling to continued discomfort and increased temperature. If the breasts are experiencing any type of uncomfortable feelings, consult your doctor immediately.
2. Increased Itchiness
More than often, itchy breasts are ignored which are the most noticeable symptoms for inflammatory breast cancer. Since the desire to scratch is confused as being a dermatological issue, patients often end up with improper diagnosis and rash related medication. Since inflammatory cancer spreads rapidly, the breast cancer survival rate in such scenarios is just 34 percent over a 5-year duration. If itchiness on the breasts persists, be confident in seeking the consultancy of an oncologist experienced in dealing breast cancer cases.
3. Continuous Pain in the Back, Neck and Shoulders
Breast cancer rapidly moves towards the back, neck and shoulders where it can easily spread in the bones. While general breast cancer survival rates are at 75 percent, they immediately drop to just 8.3 percent once the cancer has progressed to the bones. This pain is characterized by being felt directly in the bones instead of muscles and is unceasing in nature despite physiotherapy.
4. Unnatural Changes in Breast Size, Shape and Looks
Carefully examine your breasts on a regular basis to check whether there have been any changes in their shape, color and general look. In case of dense breasts, checking becomes even more important since the mammograms have a 50 percent miss rate in such cases.
5. Swelling in the Breasts
Inflammatory breast cancer is characterized by swelling and increased temperature of the breasts. The color may even change from being purple to bright red and a feeling of continuous soreness can be felt.
Breast cancer survival rates for Stage IV cases is at just 22 percent, so understanding symptoms is imperative for early diagnosis and avoiding complications. By keeping these 5 breast cancer warning signs under consideration, not only can it be detected early but treatment be initiated on a timely basis for maximizing recovery.

The NBA season is fast approaching and we’re itching to see who takes the next step in their production next season! We’ve reached the elite of the elite, the cream of the crop, the final tier. It’s time to discuss the Top 10 players in the 2021-22 season.
10) Jayson Tatum | 6-8 – F – Boston Celtics
Multiple 50-point games. Nearly 40% from distance on his career. New career-high in points, rebounds, and assists every season of his career so far. These are just a few facts about the two-time All-Star, Jayson Tatum.
He enters his 5th season after averaging over 26 PPG last season on nearly 46% shooting. The Celtics are entering their window in which Tatum and Brown are reaching the peaks of their career, and I believe this is the season we see Tatum take the jump into Top 10 players through both his individual production and team wins.
9) Joel Embiid | 7-0 – C – Philadelphia 76ers
Before he got injured last season, Embiid was having an MVP-level season. He averaged 28.5 PPG, 10.6 RPG, and 1.4 BPG across 51 games played last season and still finished as an MVP finalist. Ben Simmons appears to be on his way out of Philly, opening up even more scoring opportunities for Embiid and likely allowing him to play with four shooters surrounding him.
After two consecutive injured seasons to start his career and four All-Star appearances later, it’s easy to forget that Embiid is only 27 years old and right in the middle of his prime. Don’t be surprised to hear his name in the MVP discussion yet again this season.
8) Damian Lillard | 6-2 – G – Portland Trailblazers
Lillard hasn’t played with an All-Star, All-NBA, 6MOTY, COTY, ROTY, or All-NBA Defensive player since 2015. The Blazers have made the playoffs every single one of those seasons. This is a testament to the level of production and pressure Lillard carries on his shoulders each and every season.
In 2021, he averaged 28.8 PPG and 7.5 on 45.1% FG and 39.1% 3P shooting. There is a good chance that Lillard doesn’t finish next season in Portland, in which case there’s no predicting where his production ends up. For now, we’re assuming that he’ll have another season worthy of MVP discussion in Portland.
7) LeBron James | 6-9 – F/G – Los Angeles Lakers
Has the King finally fallen? No, not really. In retrospect, a 37-year-old player entering his 19th season should not be a Top 10 player in the NBA. Not only is LeBron that player, but he also has a shot at finishing as a Top 3 player.
However, he also has a real chance of dropping out of the Top 10 entirely from a production standpoint, especially with a younger Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis on the roster capable of shouldering most of the load. LeBron will still be LeBron, but don’t be surprised if this is the long-dreaded season that NBA fans finally start to see the decline of the King.
6) James Harden | 6-5 – G – Brooklyn Nets
Harden is another player easily capable of a Top 2-3 caliber season. He’s led the league in assists once and scoring three times, even coming within two rebounds of averaging a triple-double back in 2017. Last season, across 36 games with Brooklyn, Harden averaged 24.6 PPG and 10.9 APG.
This season with a fully healthy Kevin Durant on the roster, it might be difficult for Harden to crack the Top 5 from a production standpoint, though not impossible. He is the main ballhandler and playmaker on a team loaded with offensive talent. Analysts like to use the term “there’s only one basketball,” but there will be plenty of usage and production available to fully support Harden and his teammates.
5) Luka Doncic | 6-7 – G – Dallas Mavericks
It feels like Luka has been an All-Star for several years already, but he’s still only 22 years old entering his 4th season in the league. Last season he averaged 27.7 PPG, 8.6 APG, and 8.0 RPG at 21 years of age. He’s already been named to two All-Star teams and given the championship-contending Clippers a run for the money in two consecutive playoff series, essentially by himself.
The Slovenian guard is a scoring machine with an uncanny ability to navigate pick and rolls and find open teammates, all traits of elite offensive talent. Doncic can only keep getting better from here. If Doncic isn’t a serious MVP candidate this season, he undoubtedly will be soon.
4) Nikola Jokic | 6-11 – C – Denver Nuggets
The reigning MVP will look to continue his incredible offensive run next season. In 2021, he averaged 26.4 PPG, 10.8 RPG, 8.3 APG, and 1.3 SPG while shooting .566-.388-.868 splits from the field, 3-point line, and free throw line respectively. The pass-first big man finally decided to look for his own shot last season, putting his offensive arsenal on full display.
He put up a career-high 10.2 field goal attempts per game while shooting the second-highest FG% of his career, leading to a new career-high in scoring. All of this while still averaging double-digit rebounds and a new career-high in assists is truly remarkable. I don’t know if there’s room for improvement from last season, but I’m excited to see it if there is.
3) Stephen Curry | 6-3 – G – Golden State Warriors
Curry is entering his 13th season after leading the league in scoring for the second time in his career. He averaged a career-high 32 PPG to go along with 5.8 APG and 5.5 RPG all while shooting 42.1% from beyond the arc. There are players on this list that don’t shoot that well from the field, much less beyond the 3-point line.
The former MVP and 7x All-Star is the undisputed best point guard in the NBA currently and even has an argument for the best point guard of all time. Now he gets his running mate Klay Thompson back along with the plethora of defensive forwards Golden State has acquired. Curry is still the leader of this team from a scoring and playmaking standpoint, so don’t expect his production to decline much this season.
2) Kevin Durant | 6-10 – F – Brooklyn Nets
James Harden may run the offense in Brooklyn, but make no mistake, this is Kevin Durant’s team. Durant is the #1 scoring option on arguably the best team in the NBA and clear title favorite. He doesn’t need much introduction after 13 straight seasons averaging at least 20 PPG, including two seasons of scoring over 30 PPG in OKC.
The former MVP recovered nicely from his Achilles injury two seasons ago, posting a respectable 26.9 PPG, 7.1 RPG, and 5.6 APG in his first season with the Nets, even though he only played in 35 games. This season, he’ll likely be closer to 60 games played, and he’ll have even greater scoring opportunities if Kyrie Irving does end up missing every single home game.
KD might just be the odds-on favorite to win MVP this season.
1) Giannis Antetokounmpo | 6-11 – G/F/C – Milwaukee Bucks
The Greek Freak has accumulated five All-Star appearances, five All NBA teams, four All-Defensive teams, Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Most Improved Player, All-Star Game MVP, two regular-season MVPs, an NBA Title, and a Finals MVP award in his eight seasons in the league. Oh, and he’s only 26 years old.
Not much else needs to be said, but we’ll say it anyway. Antetokounmpo is still only discovering his prime. As scary as it is, he may still have room to improve on the illustrious career he’s already put together. Over the last four seasons, he’s averaged 28 PPG, 11.7 RPG, 5.5 APG, 1.3 BPG, and 1.2 SPG.
The only weak point in his game is his ability to shoot from distance, and his 3-point percentage is still just under 30% – not good but not the worst it could be. The reigning Finals MVP is coming off of one of the best Finals performances in NBA history. He has a championship roster built around him with the perfect complementary pieces. The only thing that can stop Antetokounmpo this season is himself. Watch out for another career year from this bonafide superstar.

A new Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) research report, "Hot Spots 2025: Benchmarking the Future Competitiveness of Cities," commissioned by Citi, projects that São Paulo, Incheon and Mumbai will see the greatest surge in global competitiveness between 2012 and 2025.
The report forecasts the competitiveness of 120 cities in 2025 based on their projected ability to attract capital, business, talent and tourists.
"Around the world, cities continue to evolve as the centers of innovation and engines of economic growth," said Citi CEO Michael Corbat. "Core to Citi’s strategy is a focus on the 150 cities we believe will shape the world in the years ahead. The Citi-commissioned EIU research will enhance understanding of the factors driving urban competitiveness and illuminate how the highest performing cities continue to create competitive advantages."
According to the report, the 10 most competitive cities in the world in 2025 are forecast to be New York (1st), London (2nd), Singapore (3rd), Hong Kong (4th), Tokyo (5th), Sydney (6th), Paris (7th), Stockholm (8th), Chicago (9th) and Toronto (10th).
"Major cities in India, Brazil, and other emerging markets are expected to improve their competitive position and gain ground on many cities in more established economies," said Leo Abruzzese, the EIU’s global forecasting director. "Strong economic growth, improving physical infrastructure, and increasingly skilled labor forces will boost emerging cities’ competitiveness, though North American and Western European cities will ultimately retain their competitive advantage."
"Hot Spots 2025: Benchmarking the Future Competitiveness of Cities" projects cities’ competitive standing in 2025 across eight distinct categories of competitiveness and 32 individual indicators. Categories include economic strength, physical capital, financial maturity, institutional character, human capital, global appeal, social and cultural character, and environmental and natural hazards.

The Diocese of San Diego has responded to charges made in a lawsuit that it restructured diocesan properties to conceal assets from victims of sexual abuse. The restructuring was reportedly part of an initiative that would last ten years and aim to establish parishes as independent legal organizations.
Rejecting Lawsuit's Allegations
According to the Catholic News Agency, Irwin Zalkin, a San Diego attorney representing approximately 120 people who have filed sex abuse claims against the diocese, has asserted the contrary. Zalkin is one of the attorneys hired to defend those individuals. He claims that the property transactions were dishonest and were carried out to conceal assets that could have been utilized to pay his clients and other victims of sexual abuse.
The time restriction for filing sexual assault cases was dramatically pushed back by new legislation introduced in 2019, which was given the number "Assembly Bill 218." In addition, it made it possible for people to file legal claims that had previously missed the deadline for three more years.
The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that the lawsuit was filed on Tuesday, less than two weeks after the diocese held a news conference saying it may have to declare bankruptcy for the second time since 2007. It was due to the danger of possibly significant payouts to about 400 plaintiffs alleging they had been molested decades ago. According to the current lawsuit, the diocese transferred 291 properties to real estate holding firms in late 2019. It was shortly after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a statute allowing victims of prior sexual abuse to file fresh claims three years after the legal deadline had passed.
At a news conference on Wednesday, Irwin Zalkin, a San Diego attorney representing around 120 sex abuse claims, stated that the total assessed worth of the properties is $453 million. Zalkin noted that transferring the assets to the holding companies, one for each parish, reduced the possible amount of money the clerical abuse claimants may get from the diocese in case of a settlement. The lawsuit attempts to invalidate each transaction. It would place them under the jurisdiction of the diocese's leader, Cardinal Robert McElroy, and make them accessible to claimants seeking compensation from the church.

File for Bankruptcy
As per Crux, Cardinal Robert McElroy has informed clergy and faithful that the Diocese of San Diego may have to file for bankruptcy due to approximately 400 lawsuits alleging sexual abuse of minors by priests, religious, and laity. These lawsuits result from a 2019 California law allowing victims to sue for three years without regard to age. In a recent letter, McElroy expressed the potential. McElroy stated that most of the diocese's assets had been "depleted" by the $198 million San Diego paid in 2007 to settle 144 abuse allegations. These claims originated from a previous suspension of California's statute of limitations.
Suppose the numbers associated with the current lawsuits are comparable to those from 2007. In that case, the diocese's reimbursement to survivors might range between $500 and $600 million, which the diocese argues it does not have. The 400 lawsuits result from AB 218, a California law that abolished the statute of limitations for any accusations of sexual abuse of a minor for three years, from Jan. 1, 2020, to Dec. 31, 2022. Advocates for the survivors plan to launch a lawsuit next week disputing the diocese's argument that it lacks the financial resources to settle the claims.

Jesse Williams, the handsome actor who garnered millions of fans for his portrayal as Dr. Jackson Avery on “Grey’s Anatomy,” recently attracted a legion of other fans for something far more powerful and political.
During the 2016 BET Awards that aired Sunday night, Williams received the Humanitarian Award and gave a commanding speech that invigorated a sense of historical and present-day consciousness that kept the audience on their feet throughout his remarks.
Williams, who was an educator prior to acting, commented on social justice issues that should easily awaken the spirit of advocacy in all of us – the key however, is that we continuously remember the importance of being advocates. It does us no good to give Williams standing ovations and comments on Facebook and Twitter on how great his speech was if we don’t use his words as motivation to right the wrongs of this world and campaign against injustice.
Williams’ words call-out the oppressors of our time, but his words also take aim at those who focus on the wrong things such as brand name clothing and material possessions.
I am sharing the full transcript of Williams’ speech in hopes it will foster a renewed level of consciousness that increases our motivation to speak against the ills of this country, to act on every form of maltreatment against the disenfranchised in a rational but necessary way, and to do something that will help this country become more equal and just in its treatment of all people.
“Now, this award, this is not for me. This is for the real organizers all over the country. The activists, the civil rights attorneys, the struggling parents, the families, the teachers, the students that are realizing that a system built to divide and impoverish and destroy us cannot stand if we do. All right? It’s kind of basic mathematics. The more we learn about who we are and how we got here, the more we will mobilize.
“Now, this is also in particular for the Black women who have spent their lifetimes dedicated to nurturing everyone before themselves. We can and will do better for you.
“Now, what we’ve been doing is looking at the data and we know that police somehow manage to deescalate, disarm and not kill white people every day. So what’s going to happen is we’re going to have equal rights and justice in our own country or we will restructure their function in ours.
“Now, (standing ovation) I got more, y’all.
“Yesterday would have been young Tamir Rice’s 14th birthday. So, I don’t want to hear anymore about how far we’ve come when paid public servants can pull a drive-by on a 12-year-old playing alone in a park in broad daylight, killing him on television and then going home to make a sandwich.
“Tell Rekia Boyd how it’s so much better to live in 2012, than it is to live in 1612 or 1712. Tell that to Eric Garner. Tell that to Sandra Bland. Tell that to Darrien Hunt.
“Now, the thing is, though, all of us in here getting money that alone isn’t going to stop this. All right? Now dedicating our lives to getting money just to give it right back. To put someone’s brand on our body when we spent centuries praying with brands on our bodies and now we pray to get paid with brands for our bodies. There has been no war that we have not fought and died on the front lines of. There has been no job we haven’t done. There’s no tax they haven’t levied against us. And we pay all of them. But freedom is somehow always conditional here. You’re free, they keep telling us, but she would have been alive if she hadn’t acted so free.
“Now, freedom is always coming in the hereafter but, you know what, though, the hereafter is a hustle. We want it now. And let’s get a couple of things straight here, just a little side note. The burden of the brutalized is not to comfort the bystander. That’s not our job. All right, stop with all that. If you have a critique for the resistance, for our resistance, then you better have an established record of critique of our oppression. If you have no interest in equal rights for Black people, then do not make suggestions to those who do. Sit down.
“We’ve been floating this country on credit for centuries, yo. And we’re done watching, and waiting while this invention called whiteness uses and abuses us. Burying Black people out of sight and out of mind, while extracting our culture, our dollars, our entertainment like oil — black gold. Ghettoizing and demeaning our creations then stealing them. Gentrifying our genius and then trying us on like costumes before discarding our bodies like rinds of strange fruit. The thing is, though, the thing is, that just because we’re magic doesn’t mean we’re not real. Thank you.”

Thousands gathered Tuesday to remember the life and legacy of Richardson Police Officer David Sherrard, who was killed in the line of duty last week.
Sherrard, 37, received full honors at his funeral service in Dallas, and a large motorcade escorted the fallen officer to his burial site in Rowlett.
Rowlett Fire Department ladder trucks flanked the street at Rowlett and Kyle in front of the cemetery entrance, as dozens of people who had waited for hours in cold drizzle stood and watched the procession pass.
The latest news from around North Texas.
"It was the least I could do," said former police officer Haley Adams, who took her 5-year-old daughter to see the procession. "This officer had kids. Definitely gets me right in the heart. Too many."
"He has people who loved him. He didn't deserve to die like that," said Tory McGree, who took his 7-year-old twins out of school early to watch the procession. "What is the world coming to? It's making it harder for the next generation."
The services inside the Watermark Community Church of Dallas were private. A live stream of the service, shared online by the church, showed a packed auditorium of people there to pay their respects.
Speaking at the service, Sherrard's widow, Nicole Sherrard, said she wanted people to know more about their love story. The high school sweethearts married young and recently celebrated their 15-year anniversary.
Nicole Sherrard shared a deeply personal account of the ups and downs, saying there was a time they grew apart by putting their kids and jobs first. She said the last couple of years were the happiest, as the couple committed to putting God and their marriage ahead of everything else.
"If you've heard nothing else today, know that it doesn't matter where your marriage is at, it doesn't matter what has happened in your marriage, God can fix it," Nicole Sherrard said. "Nothing is too big for God. You just have to have faith and put in the work."
"Let our marriage be your example. Learn from us how short life actually can be," she added. "We thought we had forever."
Friends and colleagues who spoke at the service each recounted Officer Sherrard's devotion to his wife and their two young daughters.
Fellow Richardson Police Officer Shaun Morgan shared that Sherrard's faith spilled over into their friendship. He said Sherrard would often tell him to give his problems to God. Fighting tears, Morgan said he needed to hear his friend say that right about now.
Richardson Police Chief Jimmy Spivey said Officer Sherrard was a true hero.
"David knew what was coming. He knew it was his time to lead," Spivey said. "He knew people depended on him, and he rose to that occasion."
Spivey said Sherrard was the lead officer in a group to go into an apartment and confront a gunman last Wednesday night. The gunman shot and killed Officer Sherrard and another man, 30-year-old Rene Gamez.
Spivey said if given the choice, Sherrard would make the same sacrifice.
"If we could roll the clock back to do it all over again, David Sherrard would be number one in that stack and the first one to go into that apartment," the chief said.
Spivey also recounted how Sherrard's widow met with the first responders who were with her husband the night he was killed. The group met the day before the funeral.
"It was from your heart that you knew everybody had done everything they could do and that David was in a good place," Spivey said. "You've been the rock for all of us."
Officer Sherrard was a 13-year veteran of the Richardson Police Department. His line-of-duty death marks the first in the department's 63 year history.
Visitation was held at First Baptist Church of Richardson Monday evening.
"It's an honor actually to be able to host this for the Sherrard family," said the Rev. Ellis Orozco, pastor of First Baptist Church of Richardson.
Orozco said Sherrard had a great faith that was seen in his service.
"Jesus said, 'No greater love hath a man than to give his life for his friends,' and Officer Sherrard did that," Orozco said. "He gave his life protecting this community. Just the ability to honor that – to recognize that – to in some way memorialize that is a powerful thing for a community as we move forward."
"There is a tremendous brotherhood and sisterhood within the Richardson Police Department," Orozco added. "They are really there for us, but they are also there for each other."
NBC 5's Noelle Walker contributed to this report.

4th Annual Electric Vehicle Innovations & Strategy India Summit 2024
One of the pillars of economic development for any country, the transportation network is critical to the national infrastructure. However, it has frequently been a source of greenhouse gas emissions and a major cause of concern for governments as they try to reduce their carbon footprint to address environmental issues and decrease their dependence on oil as a source of fuel.
With the government cutting down on fuel subsidies and looking at achieving an oil-free economy, the demand for electric vehicles is on the rise. The increasing demand for these vehicles, coupled with citizens adopting a healthy lifestyle and growing environmental concerns, will likely boost the EV market.
India's EV ambition could create a market worth Rs 14.42 lakh crore by 2030, states a study by the CEEW Centre for Energy Finance (CEEW-CEF) The government's primary think tank NITI Aayog has underlined aspirations that 70 percent of all commercial cars, 30 percent of private cars, 40 percent of buses, and 80 percent of two-wheeler and three-wheeler sales would be electric by the year 2030. However, some major challenges still stand in the way of mass adoption of EV by the end user.
The success to India's EV story can be achieved by bringing together country's leading experts to help you understand the technology and trends that are helping to overcome challenges and propel EVs into the mainstream. 4th Annual Electric Vehicle Innovations & Strategy India Summit 2024 is an initiative to get all the stakeholders on a platform to ponder upon the critical discussions on technological and market related challenges and build a common vision towards achieving carbon neutrality.

Most people use whatever router their ISP provides them — because routers aren’t easy for the average person to buy and a really good one isn’t nothing short of cheap. If you have to make-do with one router in your home, and you find there are rooms and corners where the WiFi signal doesn’t reach or if it does the Internet speeds are very low, it’s quite obvious you will need to figure out how you can improve the router’s signal in your home.
Here are a few basic things you can try to boost the WiFi range without replacing your router.
1. Move The Router
If your ISP set up the router in your home, there is no guarantee that they found the best place for it. Most people settle with putting the router next to the most easily accessibly power outlet or wherever they can restart it easily. Sometimes the emphasis is on aesthetics instead of functionality. A router should not be placed;
- Next to a stove, fridge, microwave, or other such electric appliances
- Next to anything that is metal e.g. that vase your aunt got you when she came back from vacation
- Inside a cabinet or any sort of case that makes it look less ugly
- Anything metal e.g. don’t put it on a metal shelf or a metal stool
Find a place that’s suitable and somewhat in the middle of your house so that the WiFi signal reaches all the rooms. This one is going to be hard to manage with perfect precision but you can move the router out of a bedroom and into the hallway at the very least.
2. Change The Channel
A router isn’t the only wireless device in your home. If you live in a building, your neighbors probably have internet and a wireless router as well. Their router, your router, and most wireless devices all use the same frequency to transmit a signal. The default frequency is 2.5Ghz and it is divided into smaller bands. Without getting too technical, some bands or channels overlap when they transmit a signal. Within the 2.5Ghz frequency, you should select the 1, 6, and 11 channel as there is no overlapping there. If your router uses the 5Ghz frequency, you have more bands to choose from. You can select the 36, 40, 44, 48, 149, 153, 157 and 161 bands to boost the signal.
You will need to access the admin panel of your router to change the channel.
3. Upgrade Antenna
Some routers don’t have antenna but those that do often have ones that can be replaced. If your router doesn’t have an antenna, ask your ISP to provide you one that does. You might need to tell them the router in your home doesn’t work as well to get them to change it and it might not be easy to get the exact replacement you want. If your router does have an antenna or two and they can be replaced, considering upgrading them. Buying an antenna is much cheaper than buying a new router and it will make a noticeable difference.
4. Upgrade Firmware
Check if your router’s firmware is in need of an upgrade. If a new version is available, upgrade to it. You might be surprised but this can actually improve the performance of your router. The firmware might patch problems or improve the overall performance of the hardware it’s running on and result in a stronger WiFi signal.
5. Signal Boosters And Access Points
We’re getting into hardware improvements here. You can buy signal boosters and install them to boost the WiFi signal in your home. They aren’t expensive and will resolve most signal problems. If a booster isn’t doing the trick, you can supplement it by adding an access point or two. It can be particularly useful if you need your WiFi signal to reach two or more floors e.g. both the basement and the attic.
If your router is particularly old, you might want to invest in a newer model. You don’t need to get the latest model that’s available but your router model shouldn’t be obsolete. Additionally, you should refrain from using hacks like beer cans or metal mesh make-shift antenna to boost the signal. There’s a popular hack that encourages users to use concave metal objects like cans to boost the signal. While this does amplify the signal, somewhat, it does so in one direction. If you only need to use the WiFi in one particular part of the house, see if you can just move your router there. If you want to disburse the signal more evenly, this hack isn’t for you.
When you’re looking for the best place to place your router, take the help of a signal mapping app. It will be able to tell you the signal strength that various parts of your house are getting from the router in its current position.

Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt: a detailed fact based


I started with Cathy Horyn's elegiac rumination on the indecisive current circulating throughout fashion at the moment. She writes of the cacophony that is drowning out creativity and freshness, the deluge of commentating voices that swamp the ones that have something new to say. She asks where the discordant visions are, the ones that will provide an alternate vision to counter the rise of popular taste?
I don't read this as Horyn decrying popular tastes, more as a lament for all that fashion could be and has been in the past. At work underneath her post is the memory of Alexander McQueen, 'fashion's most contentious voice', who took his own life just over a year ago. Who will take up his mantle, his fury and resistance, the beautiful decay and ferocious vision of his work? The sense that permeated me as I read the article was that fashion has been taken up in the popular imagination, peopled by caricatures and pop imagery and icons who are remembered for images of themselves rather than their revolutionary work- what of fashion itself?
What is fashion currently telling us about where Western society is at, what we value, what we applaud and what we choose not to see? There are gifted designers creating beautiful collections, collections that seem to simultaneously capture and create what women the world over want to wear right now. Yet here we also are in a time when the industry seems to be in a state of flux- where there are gaping spaces left by leading designers who, for whatever reason, have left or been removed from the labels they have helmed; where we watch television shows about stylist's assistants and wannabe models and are thus fed a simulacrum of the fashion industry passed off as the real thing; where bloggers and young designers and photographers proliferate, all wanting to be the next big thing, the undiscovered gem who, with the right light trained on them, will sparkle into a star. We are surrounded by images of fashion but are lacking the expression of its visionary heart.
I want to experience the shock at the vulgarity of fashion, like they must have witnessed at the beginning of Chanel's career- women without corsets? in pants?! I want to read of outraged sponsors demanding designers rename their catwalk presentations because their original titles are too shocking as in the case of McQueen's 1998 'Untitled' show with models catwalking under streaming water lit by yellow light. The original name? 'The Golden Shower.'
I wonder how designers will react to the contemporary challenge that now confronts their profession. That is their job, after all- not simply to create clothes that we want to buy, but to make comment on who we are and what we value as people of our particular time. I don't doubt that designers can and will find new expressions for our times- I just hope that their work finds recognition, that it it manages to elbow through the deluge to mark the public consciousness. And that it will not be unvalued because it is not commercial and 'cute.'
