Steve Job and Apple announced iCloud this week and this was revolutionary and exciting for the media because Apple has taken the name “cloud” and put an “i” in front of it! Wow! Thanks again Apple! We worship you!
Why does every Apple announcement remind me of the scene in toy story where the little green aliens say “Ooooohhh…the Claw” ?
“Apple’s cloud is timid: it’s about storage and synching as opposed to a streaming, real-time, extension to your actual machine.” – Article from Wired
But I digress… The point of this post is really that Microsoft continues to spiral down. Granted, they’ve traditionally been flying so high that the downward spiral will take years before it hits the ground and give plenty of time to pull the nose up, but for now that hasn’t happened.
Microsoft recently announced a new version of their OS. Supposedly a “radical” departure from past versions. And to demonstrate just how radical of a departure it really is, they gave it a new and exciting name … Windows 8! (yawn). I’ll just repeat what I’ve said a dozen times already, unless Microsoft can resist the urge to call everything “Windows Something”, it will never turn this ship around. Windows is un-cool! Nobody wants anything Windows related.
And get this, it’s going to have aspects of the interface from iPhone7 layered on top of the traditional Windows OS. So a user-interface layered on top of a user-interface. Sounds desperate. Microsoft grasping at anything as an excuse to launch Windows 8 without actually doing anything new. I predict that sales will show that they should have called it “Vista 2″.
Google’s vision is much more far reaching and long term. Google envisions a day when your device is nothing more than a window into your virtual computer on the cloud. All the power, all the storage, all the applications running “on the net”. That’s what true cloud computing is and I commend them for that. The problem is that to truly realize this dream requires a very high speed (and more importantly, low delay) network. Not today, not tomorrow, but soon.
A few weeks ago, nobody could figure out why Nokia announced it was switching to Windows Phone 7. As it turns out, the answer is that Microsoft payed Nokia 1 Billion. Now it makes sense (no, not really). Nokia’s sinking ship is willing to tie itself exclusively to Microsoft’s sinking ship because Microsoft’s boat is bigger and sinking slower.
But the decision still doesn’t make much sense given that Microsoft reportedly outbid Google. What that means is Nokia could have accepted a large amount of money from Google to latch on to it’s rising space ship (Android), but instead accepted slightly more money for a deck chair on the Titanic.
Perhaps Nokia decided to favor Windows Phone 7 because there are relatively fewer handset makers doing so. Android is now on so many devices that it’s hard to separate yourself from the pack. On the other hand, Nokia has traditionally been a commodity handset maker which would seem to align better with Android, to say nothing of the fact that Android is based on Linux which was invented in Finland, Nokia’s head office. I guess they have other ideas…
The Android army continues to march. While Android growth rates are impressive, it’s still a relatively small segment of the market but the new Android devices are creating more and more buzz so I expect growth will continue to accelerate.
The Internet was shocked when Google and Verizon teamed up and released a statement which outlines network neutrality rules for wireless. It appears that Google has reversed it’s previous position that the network should remain neutral and is now backing the idea that wireless providers should be able to manipulate wireless data. The key passage from Google’s policy blog:
“Sixth, we both recognize that wireless broadband is different from the traditional wireline world, in part because the mobile marketplace is more competitive and changing rapidly. In recognition of the still-nascent nature of the wireless broadband marketplace, under this proposal we would not now apply most of the wireline principles to wireless,”
The logic here seems to be that because, at any given location you can obtain wireless service from several different providers, market forces will keep the wireless providers in-line. If your provider is slowing access to a service you want, you can easily switch to a different provider.
This is a surprising and disappointing statement from Google. Fundamentally the importance of a neutral network does not decrease based on the medium it’s transported over nor the amount of competition. Furthermore, history shows that there is a strong likelihood that wireless providers will merge into fewer & larger companies decreasing competition over time. As our experience in Canada demonstrates, having only a handful of wireless competitors does not make them especially competitive. On the contrary, they tend to all offer more or less the same thing.
Google was previously the most important supporter of network neutrality and this statement is basically an admission that a neutral network isn’t actually all that important. The network neutrality movement has always faced strong opposition and this just might cause it to unravel.
CNN continues to circle the drain. What happened to this former “most trusted” news authority? I’m consistantly stunned by what a joke it’s become. I guess they are trying to emulate Fox?
Anyhow, the premise of this story is that Google, for all it’s cash and prestige, actually never releases a “killer” anything. It’s fair comment that Google has had many unsuccessful “product” releases, but, it seems this particular “business insider” hasn’t been paying attention.
First, the dismissive claim that the only thing Google has ever done well is its original search engine. Uh what?
First of all, even if that were true, search is still the most important application on the web and Google’s turned it into gold not only by making the best search engine, but by creating adwords. The dominance of search can not be dismissed. It still makes Google is still the most important company on the web and if Google never did anything else, they would still make a zillion dollars.
But setting aside search for the moment, somehow, Dan Frommer has never looked up an address on Google maps, or watched his own channel (CNN) zoom in on a map using Google Earth. What about street view? If ever their was a “killer-app” on the web, that has to be it. He says, “Google is no product-killer” ? Perhaps he should go ask the map makers at Rand McNally or map-quest their opinion on that?
And what about that gmail thing? Granted that Google hasn’t destroyed anyone, but GMail slammed hotmail and does anyone still have a yahoo mail account? I guess they do if they love spam.
How about phones? The article makes a big deal about how Google launched, the canceled it’s Nexus One phone making it sound like Google’s attempt at getting into phones was over, case closed… This must be intentional ignorance. The Nexis One was introduced to demonstrate the power of Google’s Android phone operating system which is now gaining market share at stunning rate. While the “iPhone” gets all the press, Android is steadily gaining market share.
As I’ve pointed out before, unlike Apple which is the only company that can release iX-ish products (iPad, iPhone, iPod, etc) Android can be taken and used by anyone. Thus it’s starting to appear on phones, tablets, set-top boxes, netbooks, and the list continues to grow.
I think maybe CNN is a bit sore over that other “non-killer-app”, Google news. Ya, the one that is so not important that every news outlet in America has been whining about the “death of real journalism”. Or maybe it’s the threat that youtube will replace news channels where you have to sit through hours of garbage just to see a few solid news stories?
Let us not forget the punch line to all this; Apple and Microsoft buy adds on CNN, Google does not. But of course this would never have any influence on a company with true journalistic integrity would it?
If anyone had doubts about the impact Google is having on the mobile space, the Mobile World Congress (MWC) should have put those doubts to rest.
Ad revenue from Android phones are the fastest growing segment of the mobile ad space and mobile carriers are starting to make some disturbing pronouncements such as Vodafone chief Vittorio Colao declaring that they may start to charge search engines for access to their network. Cell phone carriers are true “bellheads“. They just can’t fathom a network where they don’t control every aspect of it. I’m just dieing to see what happens when Vodafone cuts off their customers from Google (“What? Your network doesn’t have ‘The Internet’?!?!).
But I digress. The point of this post is that even though the iPhone still gets all the media attention, Google’s Android is the one gaining market share and making the most waves in telecom circles.
And it won’t stop there. Android’s openness is poised to make it the most disruptive technology this decade. Unlike the iPhone which only runs on devices developed, sanctioned and released by Apple, Android can run on anything. Soon it’ll be popping up not only on phones, but netbooks, laptops, TVs, desk phones and absolutely anything that device manufactures want to put an interface on.
Android won’t just challenge the smart phone market, but it has the potential to make inroads into every consumer technology out there; tipping over everyone’s apple cart as it goes.
According to a story in PC World “Acer remains on track to launch a version of its Aspire One netbook with Google’s Android mobile operating system in the third quarter of this year, a company representative said Wednesday.”
This confirms my suspicion that Andriod will make it’s way onto netbooks but I’m a bit confused how Google’s recently announced CromeOS fits into the picture. Why develop two separate operating systems targeting essentially the same devices?

Here's our Fast Money Final Trade. Our gang gives you Tuesday's best trades, right now!
The Dow tumbled on Friday after a warning by computer maker Dell that companies worldwide are cutting back on technology spending spooked the tech sector.
U.S. bank Wells Fargo and insurer AFLAC are worth snapping up even though the financial sector has been sold off indiscriminately, because they are steady players that offer strong long-term growth, Jason Pride, director of research from Haverford Trust told CNBC Wednesday.
The Dow fell sharply on Monday as credit concerns hounded financial stocks while global growth worries hurt big technology and industrial companies.
A big drop in oil provided nice support for stocks. Oil went from $114 to $121, then all the way back to $114, in two days! Stocks were drifting lower midday Friday, but when oil started moving down aggressively, the market stabilized, and a few sectors like airlines and retailers had modest rallies. Financials also stabilized today, though they are down for the week.
There are three big questions floating around on the Street today: First, does the debt of Fannie/Freddie take a haircut? Most traders would say no prior to today, but Ben Bernanke's comments that debt haircuts might be in order for some (he did not specifically say for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac) has given many pause...

Warner Bros. has announced that Kong: Skull Island is coming to San Diego Comic-Con this weekend in the form of an interactive exhibit. Released in March, Kong: Skull Island was a smash hit out of the gate for Warner Bros., and went on to earn more than $566 million in global ticket sales during its theatrical run.
A follow-up film to studio's 2014 blockbuster hit Godzilla (which earned more than $529 million globally), Kong: Skull Island - starring Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson and John Goodman - further helped lay the foundation for Warner Bros.' new MonsterVerse by examining the origins of the monolithic beast and the mysterious island he inhabited.
To help commemorate Kong: Skull Island's release on Blu-ray Tuesday, the studio and Legendary Entertainment announced on Twitter that the Kong: Skull Island Experience would be featured at Comic-Con this weekend. According to the Unofficial SDCC Blog, the exhibit will be called the "Monarch Containment Zone," which will house gigantic bones of Kong's ancestors.
Fans will also be able to enter the Iwi temple to unearth the mysteries of Skull Island, as well as "navigate the beast-infested jungles of the island for a close encounter with the mighty Kong himself." Naturally, the props for the experience are life-sized, so fans will able to take photos in front of the palm of King Kong's very large left hand.
— Kong: Skull Island (@kongskullisland) July 18, 2017
Parks and Cons captured some of the exhibit as it was being assembled (see above), and among the props caught on video was a skull of one of Kong's ancestors, which appeared big enough for two of the crew members to crawl in each of its empty eye sockets. Faux jaw fragments from a prehistoric beast were captured on video as well. The exhibit will be featured near Comic-Con on the lawn of the Omni hotel, says the blog. The experience will be open to convention-goers everyday from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., Thursday through Sunday.
While such events as panels with big name actors and filmmakers obviously provide more excitement than fans can hope for at Comic-Con, the Kong: Skull Island Experience promises to be a unique diversion from the packed convention halls in southern California. It promises to put people closer than ever to the unique environs of Kong: Skull Island, and with any luck, there will be more information about the MonsterVerse in store for them as they re-enter Comic-Con with Godzilla: King of the Monsters just over a year and a half away.
Kong, of course, will return to the big screen in Godzilla vs. Kong.
- Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) release date: May 31, 2019
- Godzilla vs. Kong (2020) release date: Mar 13, 2020

Deadly snake found in Dubai air cargo
Dubai Municipality (DM) has put out an alert after a poisonous snake was found aboard a flight that landed in Dubai.
Yes, a snake on a plane.
The African puff adder (also known as the bitis arietans) was found in an air cargo shipment according to the DM’s pest control department. It would not say where the flight had landed from. The above picture of the snake was provided by DM.
This is the first official sighting of the deadly breed in the UAE, although they can be found in the Dhofar region of Oman, southwestern Saudi Arabia and in parts of Yemen.
The snake is responsible for the most snakebites and fatalities in Africa, partly due to the fact it doesn’t retreat like most snakes do. It tends to lay near footpaths and blow air out as a warning. Although most fatalities due to a puff adder bite are due to poor treatment and medical neglect – as, with the right antivenom, the bites are not usually fatal.
DM described the snake as having a wide, yellowish head: it can weigh up to six kilograms.
Here’s a closer look at the puff adder:
And – wait for it – here’s an African wild cat battling a puff adder:
– Dubai Municipality has asked the public to report any sightings on their hotline 800900.

Where are UK trained doctors? The migrant care law and its implications for the NHS–an essay by Julian M SimpsonBMJ 2018; 361 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.k2336 (Published 31 May 2018) Cite this as: BMJ 2018;361:k2336
- Julian M Simpson, writer, Lancaster, UK
When I started researching my recent book,1 and speaking to members of the first generation of South Asian GPs to work in the NHS, I was struck that I kept returning to parts of the UK that for the first four decades of the NHS were predominantly industrial and working class. The people I was interviewing had mostly had careers in inner cities and industrial areas. I met them at their homes and practices in the former coalfields of South Wales, Fife, and Yorkshire, and in the urban areas that made up Britain’s industrial heartlands: Glasgow, the Midlands, Manchester, and the East End of London.
This was no coincidence. Medical migration from the former British empire in South Asia was a fundamental aspect of the working class experience of healthcare in Britain in the period I researched (from the 1940s to the 1980s) and beyond. By the end of the 1980s, although about 16% of GPs in England and Wales were from South Asia, their distribution was hugely uneven.
In fact, there was a stark divide. Few South Asian doctors practised in areas that were generally more middle class and rural. In Somerset or Cornwall or the Isles of Scilly, for instance, less than 1% of doctors in 1992 had qualified in South Asia. GPs from the Indian subcontinent were largely catering to the residents of generally working class and industrial areas. In some parts of England, such as Walsall in the Midlands and Barking and Havering in Greater London, they accounted for more than half of the GP population. In cities like Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool, about a third of GPs had trained in South Asia.2
“All the doctors looked like Dr Salam”
A research participant recalled that one of his young patients in south Wales, on being admitted to hospital, was surprised to be treated by white doctors as “he thought all the doctors look like Dr Salam.” This is all the more important because of the central role that general practice gradually took on in the NHS, with care increasingly delivered in community settings, and GPs acting as gatekeepers to secondary care. In effect, South Asian GPs were the first point of contact with the NHS for millions of patients. This is why I chose to call my book Migrant Architects of the NHS.
The core principle of the NHS is that it provides care without charge at the point of delivery. This means that, at least in theory, social and financial status should not affect patients’ ability to access care. But of course, to deliver on this promise, you need enough doctors to provide care. It was South Asian doctors who made it possible for the NHS to develop as a system built around primary care and who helped staff the surgeries providing care for patients who historically had struggled to afford to see a doctor. They should be seen as architects of the NHS in the same way that Aneurin Bevan and William Beveridge are.
Nature of “doctor shortages”
The usual narrative in relation to medical migration is that the work of doctors like these helps to compensate for doctor shortages. But what does this expression mean? The huge variations in the proportion of South Asian doctors in the GP population indicate a wider issue. They helped staff general practice, which was at the time seen as an unpopular career option by many UK graduates. And the doctor shortages were also specific to particular geographical areas. The problem was not so much a shortage of doctors in the UK as a shortage of doctors willing to take on particular roles.
During the same period, as thousands of South Asian medical graduates settled in Britain, thousands of their British trained counterparts chose to pursue careers in places like Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the US, and Canada rather than take up the positions that South Asian doctors did.
Essentially, the history of general practice in the first 40 years of the NHS is also the history of a lack of alignment between the aims and needs of the NHS and the social and professional aspirations of doctors trained in British medical schools.
British general practice today continues to be shaped by these dynamics: much of the GP workforce comprises non-UK-qualified GPs who work longer hours and serve a larger number of patients in deprived areas.3 This has wider implications for medicine and healthcare. This phenomenon is not confined to the UK; nor is it exclusive to general practice.
In general, doctors consider complex short term interventions, involving younger patients and the upper part of the body, more prestigious than work focused on chronic conditions and older patients.4 Lower status roles in locations viewed as less glamorous have provided career opportunities for incomers, who lack local networks and have historically been subject to discrimination. Over half the doctors who had become NHS consultants in learning disability between 1964 and 1991, for instance, were non-white and trained abroad. For cardiothoracic surgery it was 6.5%.5
No go areas
Similar processes occur in other countries. Overseas trained doctors are crucial to provision in remote and rural settings in Australia and in care for Aboriginal patients.6 Abraham Verghese, in his account of his time as a hospital doctor in the US Appalachians, a postindustrial landscape comparable to the Welsh valleys, recounts that there were so many doctors in one hospital with the common Indian surname Patel that they became known by their specialty–“pulmonary Patel” or “gastroenterology Patel.” 7
The Italian doctor and writer Carlo Levi called his memoir of life in exile in southern Italy under Mussolini Christ Stopped at Eboli, suggesting local people felt they were on the margins of mainstream society, seen as less than human, with the town of Eboli like a border post.8 Levi was asked to help in an emergency because he was medically trained:
“They had learned of my arrival at the town hall and had heard that I was a doctor. I told them that I was a doctor, to be sure, but I had not practised for many years, that there must be a doctor on call in the village and that for this reason I must refuse them. They answered that there was no doctor and that their friend was dying.”
Clearly, doctors also stopped at Eboli in Italy in the early 20th century. They have since continued to avoid certain types of work with particular sections of the patient population, and migrant doctors have often filled the resulting gap. In fact, these patterns are so common that Cuba has developed a countermodel, with its doctors providing care to less affluent and marginalised populations around the world in areas where, to quote the title of a book on the subject, No Doctor Has Gone Before.9
In practice, this means that the highest need and vulnerable populations—poor, elderly, disabled, and mentally ill patients—are more likely to be cared for by migrant practitioners.
Forty seven years ago, Julian Tudor Hart formulated the inverse care law, which says that the availability of medical care tends to vary inversely with the need of the population served.10 It has an additional dimension: the proportion of locally trained doctors tends also to vary inversely with the need of the population served.
Dysfunction in current healthcare policy
The question of why that continues to be the case, and how to adjust the running of healthcare systems to reflect these facts, should be a central concern for policy makers. It has profound, but largely unacknowledged, implications for the way medical systems are run.
History should help us understand one of the paradoxes at the heart of this problem: training more doctors is not alone an adequate response to “doctor shortages.” Once doctors have qualified they are in an international jobs market. If nothing is done to tackle the fact that British doctors have tended to migrate rather than take jobs that they deem undesirable, the government’s aim to achieve medical self sufficiency by producing more medical graduates will most likely mainly serve to boost the healthcare systems of other countries in years to come.
Reducing dependency on medical migrants requires measures such as changing the recruitment processes and culture of British medical schools. They should look at the diversity of their recruitment on a range of criteria—not simply gender and ethnicity but also social background. A recent report by the UK government’s Social Mobility Commission found that professions such as medicine “remain dominated by the privileged.”11 This surely perpetuates the historical flight from working class areas.
Radical change is needed to change doctors’ perceptions of some specialties to boost recruitment to them. For instance, admitting students to university exclusively to study psychiatry, geriatric medicine, genitourinary medicine, or general practice rather than allowing a student body to form that develops aspirations that tend to see such options as second best. A training system that produces graduates who disproportionately aspire to work in middle class areas or take on roles that are perceived as heroic can only be described as dysfunctional. That is unless the medical profession thinks it appropriate not to train enough physicians willing to cater for all conditions and all sections of the population.
Racism and discrimination in medicine
Until radical cultural shift occurs, modern healthcare systems will remain reliant on migrant doctors. There should therefore be greater recognition of the specific work medical migrants tend to do and reflection on what support they require. This should include measures to tackle the racism and discrimination in medicine that shapes doctors’ career paths (not least when it comes to their concentration in particular specialties and geographical areas) and affects their ability to realise their full potential as professionals.
We also need to develop greater understanding of migrant doctors as vectors of culture and professional practices. This is about linguistic skills that can benefit patients (when doctors speak the same language as migrant or ethnic minority patients), approaches to care that the host healthcare system might learn from (currently, the burden tends to be on migrants to adapt), and, say, how imported religious beliefs or social attitudes might shape patient care, for better or for worse.12 Paradoxically, we have little understanding of the effect of medical migration, even though it is a key aspect of modern healthcare.
Julian M Simpson has published widely on the history of the migration of doctors. He is the author of Migrant Architects of the NHS: South Asian Doctors and the Reinvention of British General Practice (1940s-1980s) (Manchester University Press, 2018). He holds degrees from the Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris and the Ecole Supérieure de Journalisme de Lille as well as an MA from the University of Northumbria and a PhD from the University of Manchester, where he worked as a researcher in the faculty of medicine between 2008 and 2017.

«3rd attempt to review this... ?
My review keeps disappearing everytime I submit it.
Anyway..., Great work here. Effects & story & voice acting were superb. Sometimes it was a bit dark for me but that could have been my monitor too..(?)
Regardless I really enjoyed this & it kept me intrigued throughout. Good job done!»
«3rd attempt to review this... ?
I enjoyed this one quite a bit. This was a superbly executed sci-fi flick, with a great cast, excellent direction and a damn good script. Kudos to all involved with the film.
I do have a few complaints, however. In several scenes, the dialogue was muffled and EXTREMELY hard to hear.
It was almost comical in the scene where the crew discovers the decomposing corpse, as all you hear is indistinct mutterings; it reminded me of the old school cartoons where somebody is talking on the phone, and all that can be heard from the other caller is pig latin.
I felt that the sound effect used for the pistol was rather cartoonish, and didn't fit in a gritty film such as this. It really undermined the drama during the captain's suicide scene; a really loud, ear crushing BANG would have been a great exclamation point for the scene, but instead we get a wimpy little "ping"!
This isn't really a flaw with the film, but I would have liked some kind of explanation on what the creature was. FInally, I felt that some of the dialogue was a bit sloppy.
Despite my complaints, I enjoyed this film immensely, and I'm definetly going to have to check out your romance flick when I get the chance. Excellent work here, and I look foward to seeing more work from you.
«While there was a few issues with the voice overs this was a very solid flick. The pacing was great, the visual shots helped to set up a bit of suspense, great music and visual effects. I'm glad I finally got a chance to watch this. It's like a great mishmash of Alien and Leviathon. Great work!»
«A very good film. I agree with the VOs being low at some points; I couldn't hear the dialouge for a few characters at the one scene. The outside editing worked really well and the story was very thrilling. The voice acting was magnificent and the sound design was excellent. »
«Nice work, this had a really nice mood to it. Great music and ambience and the VOs were very good. I enjoyed the story a lot, very edgy and tense. The camerawork was nicely done and the outside editing gave a unique look to the movie. The mods you used worked really well and didn't draw attention to themselves, and I also like that you managed to incorporate so much of the original TM stuff without making it seem old.
I agree with one or two of the other comments saying a couple of the characters were a bit low in the mix compared to others. Always try to make sure the VOs are on the same level. Also, I thought at times you went a little over contrast with the editing, particularly in darker scenes. Finally, I thought sometimes - especially at the beginning - there were sections that seemed a little too drawn out and some of the shots seemed pointless, self-indulgent even (example is the long, panning shot of the monitors at the start that doesn't really add anything). Of course, that's just my opinion but I felt there were moments where the pacing slowed to a crawl because of it. Otherwise I really enjoyed how you kept the momentum going.
Overall, a really well made sci-fi film and a great start to the series. There have been other sci fi series' on TMU that looked great with outside editing but the director never finished them. Judging by the length of this production I don't see that being the case here. Glad to see another top-notch series on TMU and long may it continue
***** - 5 stars»
«A very fun and well made sci-fi movie! I understand you were inpired by stuff like Alien and Dead Space? It shows, in a good way. I really liked the suspense, you built the story nicely, and the plot was good, although it felt a little short. The Dialogue was great, it moved the story forward in a good pace, and the acting was great. But that leads me to the one problem with this movie, which I found a little annoying when watching it on the premiere, the sound editing could've used a little work. Sometimes it was very hard to hear what the characters were saying, so I turned up the volume, but then suddenly, there could be an explosion and my speakers would nearly explode. So I constantly had to keep my hand on the volume control, which took away a bit of the experience (this could be a result of bad speakers, correct me if that's the case). But anyway I really enjoyed this movie, it was very very well made and was a well spent 30 minutes of my sunday
**** - 4 Stars
«30-odd minutes of some excellent sci-fi; what's not to love?
A couple of personal nit-picks, though; as has been mentioned (and probably will again) the sound levels were squiffy at a couple of points. Not easy with a largish cast to ensure that they are all levelled, but especially near the end it really jarred for me. Another pet peeve was the underlying stock sound effects from TM; not a massive thing, but they have been so used over the years they do tend to grate on one's ears now Although it's a lot of extra work, it's always better to try to find other sounds to replace those that come with the game engine (which I note you did in a lot of places); the soundscape will sound a lot better for it. Also, it seemed a tad too dark in spots, but that could very easily be my monitor, so don't worry too much about that
All in all, a great story, good soundtrack, some good performances and a tour-de-force in effects work. You should be justifiably proud of this; a 30 minute movie with TM is no mean feat (and I should know )»
«Now THAT was fun. Cool effects, and fantastic selection of scenes and editing. My only complaint is the difference in volume of the dialogues--some are hard to hear, while others are quite loud. Perhaps adjusting them all to comparable levels would help. I also have to add==nice job with the music composition as well!»

I would like to thank our town councillors for their unanimous support in opposing the proposed development of 16-20 Green Drift.
They had clearly listened to our worries, and many came out to look round the area and see for themselves what was being proposed before forming their opinions, and as a result they spoke eloquently and many valid points were brought up in their discussion.
The next stage of the application is the meeting of the district council on March 14, whose decision on this application could have far-reaching implications for the future development of other properties within the town.
I would like to ask that if you are a resident of Royston who is concerned about the current development or over-development in and around Royston, in particular the practice of demolishing perfectly good habitable houses on plots of around an acre and replacing them with at least 15 houses, that will not necessarily fit in with the present street scene, please write to district councillors Fiona Hill and Peter Burt before March 14 and say so.
You may also want to watch:
There are quite a number of this type of plot in Royston. If we act now, we can have some sort of control of what happens in our town. If not, precedents will have been set and developers will be able to do whatever they want.
We know these plots will be developed, but they must be developed in a way that will fit in with the character of the surrounding area.
- 1 Ofcom investigation into problem key fobs at Tesco Royston concludes
- 2 Grandmother who got on a motorcycle aged 105 passes away
- 3 Pupils to return to school as lockdown restrictions ease
- 4 North Hertfordshire's inspirational volunteers recognised in awards
- 5 COVID deaths fall by 50% in Herts hospitals
- 6 Aircraft museum celebrates 85 years since the Spitfire's maiden flight
- 7 Council tax set to rise in South Cambs to help support frontline services
- 8 Have your say at virtual town meeting
- 9 Special report: An insight into dog theft in Hertfordshire
- 10 Have your say on A505 Litlington turning proposals
Residents in Hitchin recently had success in opposing a development of this type where developers wanted to demolish three houses and replace them with first 14, then 12, then 10 houses.
In the end, a Government Inspector rejected the developer's appeal. The Inspector's report concluded that, although the density of the buildings was within planning guidelines, it "would harm the character and appearance of the area" and "give rise to a significant increase in noise and disturbance".
Two of the reasons we are against the proposals for 16-20 Green Drift.
As one of the objectors to that development said: "I think it's incredible what people can do when they get together.
It might get others to try to fight back too."
This is Royston's chance to fight back.

With more players reportedly considering opting out of what has been a historically bad season, the University of New Mexico men’s basketball team has informed the Mountain West Conference it has to postpone this week’s two-game series against San Diego State due to concerns about player availability.
Neither the league office nor either school would officially confirm the reason for the series being postponed. It was first reported Tuesday morning by both the Journal and the San Diego Union-Tribune.
An official announcement is expected from all three entities Wednesday and should cover whether the teams plan to attempt to reschedule the series.
The Aztecs did not get on their scheduled Tuesday afternoon charter flight nor did the Lobos board the bus to Lubbock, Texas, where the games were scheduled for Wednesday and Friday at Lubbock Christian University’s Rip Griffin Center.
New Mexico’s public health order prohibits college games from being played inside the state’s borders.
While both schools still list the games on their websites, a Tuesday evening “Lobos Weekly” email had the game removed from its upcoming events graphic.
UNM has informed conference officials it does not have the league-mandated seven available scholarship players to proceed with the series. The Journal has been told by a person close to the UNM program that there are no current COVID-19 cases in the program.
After walking off the court with eight available scholarship players after losing 64-62 at Fresno State University on Saturday, it remains unclear what happened since then to bring the number down to six.
It also remains unclear when the Lobos (5-11, 1-11 Mountain West Conference) might again have enough players to resume play this season, if at all.
UNM started the fall semester with 13 scholarship players. One (Assane Ndiaye) has never been cleared medically to play; two (Keith McGee and Nolan Dorsey) already have opted out of the season; one (Rod Brown) was injured this past weekend; and one more (Isaiah Marin) missed last week’s series in California due to an unspecified, but non-COVID, illness.
Lobo men’s basketball head coach Paul Weir did not appear on Tuesday’s “Lobo Talk” coaches radio show, which instead this week had men’s tennis head coach Ben Dunbar and volleyball coach Jon Newman-Gonchar.
The Aztecs were about to start a morning practice Tuesday before their trip to Texas when they learned the series was postponed.
“We were all ready to go,” Aztecs coach Brian Dutcher told the Union-Tribune. “Obviously, New Mexico decided they couldn’t compete. I know they’ve had as hard a year as anybody, they haven’t been at home, they’ve been on the road the whole time. I understand how hard it’s been. But until we hear some official word from them on why (they can’t play), I can’t speculate.”
The Journal has learned that at least two additional Lobo players had already informed the coaching staff or were on the verge of announcing their opt-outs for the remainder of the season, and maybe not entirely by their own choice but at the urging of staff.
Weir has been open about players struggling through the circumstances the team has faced amid the ongoing pandemic and his willingness to support them — even if not playing the rest of the season was what they felt was best.
Three players have left the team since mid-August. Senior guard Zane Martin transferred to Towson University in Maryland in the weeks prior to the fall semester starting and senior guard Keith McGee and freshman point guard Nolan Dorsey left during the season. Each publicly cited either uncertainty about whether a season would occur or mental health concerns as part of the reason for leaving.
But other than their social media posts, none of those players has talked with the Journal or other media to elaborate on their decisions.
Weir acknowledged two weeks ago that he had been trying to petition the league to get some time off for his team for mental health purposes, but with no luck.
In fact, the Journal asked on Jan. 21 why the location of the SDSU series had not yet been officially confirmed.
“I’ve asked through (UNM’s athletic director Eddie Nuñez) to the league office for multiple scheduling changes through this journey,” Weir said.
“I have not been very successful at those. So where and when the San Diego State game is played, I think we’re still working on. We obviously have to speed that up. I’ve been kind of trying to do some things that have been the best interest of our team from a physical and mental health perspective but haven’t been able to really get anybody else to budge on that.”
The state of New Mexico two weeks ago amended its “COVID-Safe Practices for Intercollegiate Sports” rule that allowed for college teams to again be allowed to practice in the state as long as they continue with their three times per week PCR testing for COVID-19. Those teams still cannot play home games.
Weir made clear his opinion that the decision to relax the rules wouldn’t help his team when it would still be required to play the rest of the season out of state anyway.
“Practicing at home doesn’t really affect us a great deal right now,” Weir said.
Weir is in the fourth year of a six-year contract with UNM, and public cries for his removal as coach have grown louder this season. The Lobos have already posted their worst conference start to a season since the 1950s and have already tied for the most losses in league play in the 22-year Mountain West era with eight games remaining on the schedule.

Musicians Ratify Agreement With Broadway TV Network
Volume C, No. 3March, 2000
After several years of on-again, off-again discussions with the Broadway Television Network (BTN), New York theatre musicians have reluctantly approved an agreement for the pay-per-view television presentation of Broadway shows. In voting on Jan. 26 and 27, a tentative pact with BTN was approved 59-27.
In its first year, the agreement calls for a base scale payment to orchestra members totaling $3,816.95 for the videotaping of a Broadway show, inclusive of 16 hours of rehearsal. With that payment BTN has the rights to one PPV broadcast worldwide, a radio simulcast, seven plays on basic or pay television, and a PBS broadcast. In the second year, payment to musicians for these rights rises to $4,476.95, the third year payment is $5,176.95, and in the fourth year the payment will b $5,256.95.
The reluctance of theatre musicians to enter into an agreement with BTN reflects a widespread fear that a PPV broadcast of a Broadway show would hurt its run. While BTN argued the opposite position – that the nationwide publicity associated with such a PPV broadcast would help a show’s run – the fact is that no one really knows. And theatre musicians rightly felt that they had much to lose in such an experiment. In the end, however, all of the other Broadway unions reached agreement for a PPV production and, under the gun of arbitration, Local 802 had no choice but to enter into negotiations and reach agreement.
Other details of the settlement include premiums for conductor and playing contractor at 100 percent, for associate conductor at 30 percent, for first double and synthesizer at 25 percent, for second and subsequent doubles at 10 percent, concert master show-premium honored up to 25 percent and onstage/on camera premium of 5 percent. Pension will be paid at 10 percent and music preparation at 100 percent of Broadway scale, unless any television first use has already been paid. The settlement also calls for a royalty payment that is a pro-rata share of 1.5 percent of gross PPV revenue received by BTN above a 1.75 percent buy rate.
The history of talks with BTN dates back to 1996, when Local 802 and its Theatre Committee were first approached by representatives of the fledgling enterprise to discuss a multiyear agreement for PPV presentations of Broadway productions. The Theatre Committee was unwilling to discuss a multiyear agreement but was willing to talk about PPV on a show-by-show basis. BTN insisted that it needed the ongoing agreement to make their business venture viable. The Theatre Committee, however, repeatedly rejected their proposals.
In the ensuing years BTN managed to reach multiyear agreements with the other unions representing Broadway employees and, last May, they approached Local 802 once again. This time, however, there was an important new development. BTN had managed to get a Broadway producer to assign them the rights to do a PPV broadcast of a particular show and, with those rights, Local 802 became obligated to negotiate. Additionally, if the parties failed to reach agreement through negotiations, BTN had the right to take the issue to arbitration.
At that point the Theatre Committee selected a negotiating committee and began serious talks with BTN and their attorney. Those talks proved unusually difficult, with the sides remaining far apart. BTN’s position was that the scales outlined in the AFM’s Non-Standard Television (Pay-TV) Agreement should apply. The Local 802 negotiating committee took the position that, if AFM scales were to be applied, it wanted a complete buyout of all possible usages of the videotape.
Last October talks reached an impasse, and BTN made what they described as “one last effort” to reach a settlement before filing for arbitration. They offered a first-year payment of $3,200, rising to approximately $4,000 in the final year of a five-year agreement. That was rejected and BTN filed for arbitration.
Local 802 was able to delay the arbitration for several months but in the end could not stop the issue from moving toward final resolution in that venue. In a last effort to avoid arbitration, BTN and the Local 802 negotiating committee met once again and produced a tentative settlement on Nov. 5, 1999. That proposed agreement raised the wage payment to the $3,816.95 in the first year, rising to $5,256.95 in the fourth year.
This proposed settlement was rejected by both the Theatre Committee and the Music Directors’ Committee. The dispute then headed back to arbitration, with a hearing set for Jan. 19.
On that date Labor Arbitrator Bonnie Weinstock convened the hearing and listened to opening remarks from both sides. She then took the somewhat unusual step of urging the parties to resume negotiations and attempt to resolve their differences.
After some discussion the negotiating committee, which was present at the arbitration, agreed unanimously to do just that. The final round of negotiations – that at one point included Ms. Weinstock acting as a mediator – produced a tentative agreement. The negotiating committee unanimously recommended it to the full Theatre Committee, which in turn recommended its ratification to Broadway musicians.

The NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC) and the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) are accepting applications for the 2018 High School Summer Internship Program at DDC.
Our High School Summer Internship program presents a unique opportunity for students to prepare for the growing demands of today’s job market. The program exposes students to the challenges of upgrading and constructing the City’s public buildings and infrastructure while also teaching them much needed job skills for a global economy. We are excited to work with our partners in government at the Department of Youth and Community Development and attract more young people to careers in STEAM,” said DDC Acting Commissioner Ana Barrio.
The six-week paid internship program is designed for students interested in pursuing careers in architecture, engineering, building trades, public administration, business administration or information technology. Thirty students—most of them from DYCD’s Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) and Ladders for Leaders initiatives—will be selected from public and private high schools across New York City to become summer high school interns. The program is structured to help interns gain exposure to different career paths in the design and construction fields. Through a hands-on approach that includes field trips to various DDC projects, interns learn what it takes to build and maintain public buildings and infrastructure in New York City.

text: A man and his music, a hundred years later. Bewitching, prescient notes, sometimes suspended, sometimes vehement and combative, full of echoes yet original, worldly and dreamy, “garden of delights” for their author, who is caught in the manifold daily maelstroms of a rapidly growing city, Milan. Precisely a century separates us from the death of Giulio Ricordi, the most gifted musical publisher of all time, who was born in 1840 during the Risorgimento and died on 6 June 1912 when the Belle Époque was ending; who plunged into the Scapigliatura, came close to Wagnerism, worshipped Verdi and was fascinated by young Puccini. And a musician. Actually, in Verdi’s opinion, he was “the only one among the young people to be really well-versed in music”. During the last decades of his life, almost every evening, Giulio shed his role of “important person”, sat down at the piano and composed, using music almost as a therapy, as a sort of receptacle for emptying out his brain, where notes by various composers lingered and eventually agglomerated almost by themselves, as in a kaleidoscope, creating delightful new patterns.


Darwin Symphony Orchestra to light up CDU Amphitheatre
Charles Darwin University (CDU) will join forces with Darwin Symphony Orchestra (DSO) to hold a performance at the University’s Casuarina campus this Saturday night.
The two organisations will present a ‘Sunset Symphony”, the first performance to be held on campus in several years.
The 60-piece orchestra comprised of string, woodwind, brass and percussion instruments will be performing classical pieces including Prokofiev’s enchanting Romeo and Juliet and Bizet’s Carmen.
Concertmaster Tara Murphy will feature as a soloist when the orchestra performs Massanet’s Thais: Meditation. Familiar hits such as the score from Badelt’s iconic Pirates of the Caribbean will also be performed at the concert which will be held at CDU’s Amphitheatre at the Casuarina campus.
CDU’s Academy of the Arts Director Amanda Morris said it was a pleasure to collaborate with music colleagues from Darwin Symphony Orchestra.
“Staff and students of CDU’s Academy of the Arts are excited about the performance and the opportunity for future collaborations,” Dr Morris said.
“What a wonderful way to welcome the community from across Darwin and celebrate the start of the dry season. We look forward to enjoying a fabulous musical experience on campus.”
DSO which is comprised of over 90 volunteer musicians has been a treasured institution in Darwin, reflecting the diverse and vibrant community for over 30 years. CDU is the Principal Sponsor of DSO.
DSO Artistic Director and Chief Conductor Jonathan Tooby said he was excited to present an evening of beautiful music to the Darwin community.
“We are thrilled to be performing at the CDU Amphitheatre and look forward to celebrating the wonderful relationship DSO shares with this extraordinary University,” Mr Tooby said.
“Throughout the concert there will be passion, pomp and unparalleled beauty and we are so excited to presenting this thrilling program.”
“I hope to see lots of people from the community bringing their family, friends, and a picnic rug to listen to the orchestra under the stars.”
Sunset Symphony will be held at the Amphitheatre at CDU’s Casuarina campus on Saturday May 20. Audience members are encouraged to pack a picnic with a range of local food trucks in attendance.

Joe Colello, the former state Energy Department employee who pleaded guilty last summer to taking nearly $300,000 in bribes, asked a judge to withdraw his plea, citing emails from state prosecutors that his attorneys claim could exonerate him.
Colello pleaded guilty June 21 to accepting bribes, theft and racketeering in connection with help he allegedly provided to a Seattle-based energy consultant, Martin Shain, in arranging the sale of state energy tax credits. The sales earned lucrative commissions for Shain, who then allegedly paid Colello.
In an emotional interview two days before entering his guilty plea, Colello told The Oregonian/OregonLive that he accepted the payments from Shain specifically for helping expedite the sale of the tax credits.
"I'm dirty," Colello said at the time. "I made mistakes."
Colello replaced his lawyer in July. His new legal team, led by Salem attorney Mark Geiger, now says they've received "thousands and thousands of emails and discovery" from the prosecution since Colello entered his plea. The state, Geiger says, supplemented the discovery provided to Colello's original lawyer at least three times, including a batch provided in December with emails that Geiger claims "are exculpatory."
The defense now maintains Colello couldn't have "voluntarily and intelligently" entered the plea without all the facts in hand.
A response from the Department of Justice is due Friday, and the agency offered no comment. Geiger and Colello could not be reached for comment.
The alleged kickback scheme came to light after The Oregonian/OregonLive published the results of an investigation showing the state had improperly awarded nearly $12 million in state tax credits to a series of university solar projects based on forged documents. Shain was indicted on forgery charges. He has pleaded not guilty.
The FBI and the Oregon Department of Justice launched an investigation after the news report and discovered that Shain had also brokered the sale of tens of millions of dollars in state tax credits, helping a variety of public entities find buyers for the state incentives. In the process, they allege that Shain was bribing Colello, the state employee charged with matching buyers and seller of state tax credits, to steer tax credit buyers to Shain in order to quickly close the sales.
The Oregonian/Oregon Live published a detailed report in late November describing the alleged scheme that was based on thousands of pages of emails and other records obtained from the Department of Energy and a variety of public entities that had hired Shain to help find buyers for their tax credits.
In an affidavit filed with the court, Geiger said he only learned of the missing discovery, with the material he now claims is exculpatory, after reading The Oregonian/OregonLive report.
"I emailed the state, wondering how a reporter had more information about the case than I did. I was told by [Oregon prosecutor Elijah] Michalowski that "they didn't realize that they had that ... It was shortly after this communication that I received the December discovery, referenced above. In my 30-plus years of representing defendants in criminal cases, I have never received discovery of this magnitude post-plea."
Colello also maintains that he was coerced into making the plea. He contends he was told by the state that they would "go after" his wife if he didn't take the offer, and that his original attorney told him his wife would be prosecuted and his house and other assets seized. Geiger says Colello was threatened by the statement and pleaded guilty because of the threat.
Coello was scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 29. A hearing is now scheduled a week earlier to consider Colello's request to withdraw his plea.

OXFORD – While several department heads say they’re controlling most costs, some city officials say they may need to raise taxes for the 2014-15 fiscal year.
The city faces having to clean up a decades-old dumpsite, furnish its in-progress fire station, do major repairs to its pool and buy new equipment in several departments. The biggest single financial outlays proposed for 2014-15, however, are the extension of West Oxford Loop from Anderson Road to Old Sardis Road and the extension of current County Road 300, which would connect Old Taylor Road and South Lamar Boulevard in an area just annexed by the city.
Mayor George “Pat” Patterson is pushing for increased pay for city employees.
“We’re shooting for a two-percent raise. I’ve told you from the front that you need to account for that,” Patterson told several department heads on Monday.
Alderman Ulysses “Coach” Howell argued for a break for local property owners, noting a new $30 million school district bond two years ago and a county revaluation that hiked city taxes last year.
“We need a little relief time to get over that,” he said.
When several board members discussed raising taxes by 1.5 mills this year and taking on a 3-mill bond debt next year for roads and other infrastructure, Patterson urged caution.
“A (nearly) five-mill raise in two years is a pretty substantial raise,” he said.
Alderman Jason Bailey countered that a 1.5-mill increase would be $30 extra on a $200,000 house.
“That’s $2.50 a month,” he said. “We’re raising taxes, but the reality is, it’s not going to hit you that much.”
Alderman Preston Taylor said he would welcome street improvements that a tax increase could fund.
“I get lots of complaints about the traffic. They can’t develop (in some neighborhoods) because of traffic on Jackson Avenue,” he said.


Sounds like our Bedford Armory is getting the sort of public-private development favored these days by public officials. Looks pretty sweet to me. The community center desired by the, community, seems to be alive and well in this plan. Interestingly, office space is included. My understanding is that office (i.e. WORKplace) space is in desperately low inventory. Could be that more jobs are moving to the neighborhood as well? This could be good for surrounding businesses. Cheers, Eric-Diana-Laurie-Jesse et al.

Japan's SoftBank group has silently acquired a US $4 billion stake in US chipmaker NVIDIA, according to a report in Bloomberg. The holding comprises of 4.9 percent of the shares, which is just a shade below the threshold at which the acquisition is required to be disclosed according to US regulations. It is unknown at what time the stake in NVIDIA was acquired, and depending on the timing, SoftBank could have impressive gains in its returns.
NVIDIA has performed better than analyst expectations, and in 2016, posted its fastest growth in five years. The growth spurt was driven by chips for gaming and data centers. NVIDIA has a market value of more than US $80 Billion.
SoftBank with a group of partners has recently announced $93 Billion committed capital as part of it's Vision Fund. The investors in the fund include the Mubadala Investment Company of the United Arab Emirates, Apple, Foxconn, Sharp and others. The fund will allow SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son to invest more heavily in technology companies than what SoftBank could have invested on its own. The Vision Fund is expected to acquire SoftBank's stake in NVIDIA, according to a report in Nikkei Asian Review.
Initially, the plan was to have the Vision Fund acquire the stake in NVIDIA directly. However, the fund took longer to take off than expected. The Vision Fund is expected to acquire unspecified other investments by SoftBank as well. While NVIDIA chips have traditionally been used for graphics heavy computer games, now the vast processing potential is being increasingly used for autonomous vehicles technology. Automotive partners of NVIDIA include Toyota, Ford and Mercedez-Benz.

For Elon Musk’s very difficult year, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
Specifically, it’s a 1.14-mile tunnel the inventor and beleaguered CEO of Tesla Motors says is a first step in solving “soul-destroying” urban traffic. In 2016, Musk — already busy running two high-profile companies — founded a construction firm called the Boring Company to tackle gridlock by drilling underground. Some thought it was a joke.
What’s it like to ride through Elon’s tunnel? Bumpy, but that’s all part of the ride on a Musk enterprise.
I had the chance to zip through in a Tesla Model X at a launch event that was part Musk pep rally and part amusement park ride. The tunnel runs about 40 feet underneath a road alongside the headquarters of SpaceX, another Musk venture located in this Los Angeles suburb.
My test Tesla had been modified with an additional set of guide wheels — sticking out in front like a pair of ears. Those aligned with the edges of the tunnel, turning the consumer electric SUV into a kind of rail-guided train. It’s like running your car through an automated carwash, but much faster.
Despite the automation, the experience was turbulent. The car jostled with many bumps in the concrete along the bottom of the tunnel, even though our top speed reached just 49 miles per hour. (The proximity to the tunnel walls made it seem like we were going faster.) Boring’s first outing was less polished than either a typical tech product launch or the inaugural run of a new public subway service.
In a press briefing, Musk said Boring had run out of time to smooth out the test tunnel’s concrete base, which caused the bumpy ride. (Musk had originally promised to open the test tunnel last week.) Once Boring figures out how to efficiently smooth the concrete, Musk said cars could go through the tunnel at up to 150 miles per hour.
“We are obviously in the early stages here — this is a prototype and we are figuring things out,” said Musk. “What is really important is that there is a path finally, finally, finally I think … to alleviating traffic congestion in cities.”
Like other Musk endeavors, the idea is buzzy but requires a leap of faith.
Further bumps ahead including getting buy-in from finicky cities and communities who’d need to invest in huge networks of tunnels.
Musk said Boring’s tunnels could eventually connect with another of his ambitious plans: a so-called Hyperloop that would provide very high speed travel across long distances using a vacuum tubes. “But that’s for another day,” he said.
Musk also his eye on one other use for Boring technology: digging around Mars, once his SpaceX firm is able to provide travel to the planet. “This is all a secret plot to build Mars technology,” he joked.

Fury, the WBC World Heavyweight Champion, has won every major title available to a fighter in the sport’s most prominent heavyweight category, but says he has yet to receive the kind of recognition he has. in the UK.
The Briton is yet to be included in the Queen’s year-end honors list, although rival Anthony Joshua has been awarded the OBE by Buckingham Palace in the past.
However, Fury’s race in the boxing heaviest weight category received quite a bit of buzz in the United States. His victory earlier this year over Deontay Wilder was enough to earn him his second “Fighter of the Year” award from The Ring Magazine, and he was recently named “Boxer of the Year” at the ESPY Awards. ‘ABC.’
See this article on Instagram
Seeing his peers win the applause of the press seemed bad for Fury, after telling the Daily Mail that ” Unlike Lewis Hamilton, I live and pay taxes [in the UK] which rose to £9 million [$12.4 million] The last year. »
Meanwhile, Hamilton has responded to tax rumors in the past by saying he pays taxes in the UK – as well as in the various other countries in which he manages.
Outrage has been praised in some sections of the media for championing mental health awareness after admitting in recent years that he suffers from depression, and charities have told him his work to raise awareness of the issue potentially saves lives.
Fury said he believed fellow British boxer Amir Khan had not received the recognition he deserved, even though he did give it to him. Reviving British boxing and doing great charity work in Britain and Pakistan. »
But does this bother him? ” non, ” He said. ” Just disappointed. What do you do when someone in your family lets you down?. »
See this article on Instagram
This does not mean that the UK Awards Foundation has completely ignored Fury. ‘The Gypsy King’ asked for last year’s nominations to be disqualified for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award after his nomination for the same award in 2015 led to accusations of homophobia and sexism over some of his previous comments.
Winner in 2020 instead of Fury? Lewis Hamilton.
Fury was scheduled to face the Deontary Wilder for a second time in Las Vegas Saturday night before the fight was postponed to October 9 after the Covid-19 outbreak at the Fury camp — and he declined to blame the cancellation.
« I’m the last person to blameOutraged by the outbreak, he said. ” I don’t have a large entourage, unlike most world champions with all their exciting folds. Since returning to camp full time, I have been nowhere to be seen other than my new home here and the Top Rank gym. My team does.
« The only people I couldn’t fully control their movements were my training partners, who had changed. They are in and out of the bubble and everyone knows this city is full of Covid. I think we picked it up from someone. »

Athens, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Fresh off capturing its first MAC regular- season title in 20 years, Ohio signed head women's basketball coach Bob Boldon to a five-year contract extension through 2020 on Wednesday.
The Bobcats have undergone a striking turnaround in Boldon's second year as head coach, compiling a 25-4 record (16-2 MAC) after posting only nine wins in 2013-14.
"Our success is truly a team effort of talented student-athletes, an outstanding coaching staff, administration and loyal fans," said Boldon, the 2015 MAC Coach of the Year. "I am excited about the future."
Ohio plays in the semifinals of the MAC Tournament on Friday.


US President Barack Obama is considering military action to help stranded Yazidi Kurds in Iraq who fled territories captured by Islamic State militants.
On Thursday, President Obama assembled members of his national security team to discuss the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in regions of Iraq captured by the Islamic State (IS). The US is considering airdrops of humanitarian assistance supplies to Yazidis trapped at the top of Mount Sinjar, as well as airstrikes and other "military options," according to CNN. The Wall Street Journal reported that US aircraft might fly to Iraq to deliver humanitarian aid as soon as Thursday night.
An administration official told The New York Times that “the president is weighing both passive and active options.” Dropping humanitarian supplies is considered passive action. "More active, we could target the [IS] elements that are besieging the base of the mountain," the official added.
CNN also reported that the Obama administration is considering airstrikes against IS strongholds. However, the White House would not reveal its strategy on Thursday.
“The United States government, as well as the United States military, is supporting the ongoing efforts of Iraqi official and Kurdish officials to address this humanitarian crisis,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Thursday, without elaborating on what "support" currently means.
Earnest added that American military action would not solve Iraq's myriad of "problems."
"Those solutions are only going to come about through" Iraqi political maneuvers, he said.
Media reports have surfaced claiming that US fighter jets have already carried out airstrikes in Iraq. However, the Pentagon was quick to deny those reports.
“Press reports that U.S. has conducted airstrikes in Iraq completely false,” Rear Admiral John Kirby said in a post on his Twitter account. “No such action taken.”

I know how frustrated Americans are with the economy and lack of jobs, but President Obama's jobs plan just doesn't appeal to the public.
Too many Americans are without jobs. This week the jobless claims rose to more than 428,000, according to the U.S. Labor Department.
That doesn't take into account the number of people without jobs who can no longer make an unemployment claim because their benefits have run out.
So, one would think Obama's plan would be popular among the unemployed and their families.
The problem is his plan caters to a certain segment of the job sector and it will require more spending of American tax dollars when the nation is already in a financial crisis.
He also wants to limit tax deductions on charitable contributions. The wealthy aren't the only Americans who make charitable contributions...hard working citizens are known to be more charitable than their wealthy counterparts.
Besides, his last stimulus plan has been proven a dismal failure even if some did benefit from it, like the city of Grandview did. Most of the money, like that given to green energy companies such as Solyndra, has been proven squandered.
Instead of proposing preposterous bills like his jobs bill recently announced to the American public, Obama should be concerned with the negative impact his administration is having on businesses like Boeing.
He should be more concerned with being business-friendly and keep the government out of decisions to expand. Boeing is trying to create more jobs and those who work for the company in Washington aren't losing out. After all, the company reported an increase in the number of jobs at its Seattle plant.
Then, there is the issue of companies reporting that too few of those seeking jobs have the skills necessary to work in certain industries.
Maybe Obama could look at that problem, and his administration might find incentive to help companies provide the proper training for individuals looking for work.
I am tired of hearing him say, "We are in a crisis..."
I want to hear him come up with real solutions that won't plunge our country further into debt and won't empty our wallets more.
I want the president to take a stand against those who feel a sense of entitlement...saying "No" to the unions and lobbyists, as well as his cronies.
This is a time for action, not playing tiddlywinks.
