LAHORE: After receiving permission from the former prime minister, Punjab police will send a party to search Imran Khan’s house in Lahore today in order to catch “terrorists” purportedly holed up in Zaman Park.
He stated that the delegation would be led by the commissioner of Lahore. Mir went on to say that the team would schedule a meeting with Imran and then search his home in front of cameras.
The minister further announced that roughly 400 police officers would join the group “to arrest terrorists holed up there.”
According to sources, the government and Imran Khan will begin negotiations for a house search today.
Amir Mir said yesterday that the delegation will meet with Imran Khan and then search his home in front of cameras.
“They will request permission from the former prime minister to conduct a search operation.” Because there is a rumored presence of terrorists, a police party of 400 people will accompany the delegation,” he added.
He said that the police apprehended eight people leaving the PTI chairman’s Zaman Park mansion, who was involved in the attack on Jinnah House. “Those arrested were those who were identified through geofencing,” he continued.
Following the arrest of former Prime Minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan from the grounds of Islamabad High Court (IHC) last week, violent confrontations erupted across Pakistan.
Protests were held in both distant and big cities as party activists became agitated following the arrest of their chairman, with Balochistan, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Islamabad requesting the armed forces to maintain peace and order.
During a protest by PTI workers in Lahore, army installations and the Corps Commander’s home were attacked.

The principal question we address in this work is the following: "Is Markov modelling appropriate to analyse data networks?". We will conclude that it is. The motivation for this question comes from the work of a research team at Bellcore who argue that the models used in teletraffic engineering are questionnable. Their argument is based on long measurements performed on their local network. Their results, with the major conclusion that the traffic is self-similar, have shaken the teletraffic community. After having exposed the principal characteristics of the Markovian model, we analyse measurements done on the EPFL network and on the Bellcore network. The results of the analysis lead us to suspect the suitability of Markovian models. Therefore, we study the interworking unit Ethernet/DQDB considering a network totally loaded. No hypothesis is made for the traffic profile, yet the study leads to strong conclusions and we therefore try to understand the queue behavior with the spectral analysis in order to better characterize the data traffic. The next step consists of reproducing the self-similarity observed in the data traffic with modulated Markov chains. Here, Courtois's theory of decomposability is used. We have shown that it is possible to reproduce self-similarity on a finite timescale, but that the number of parameters needed to manipulate in the modulated Markov remains large. In the next step, we propose a technique to reduce them drastically. A method of finding a Markov modulated chain as a function of the expectation, the local Hurst parameter and the domain where the process exhibits self-similarity has been developed. Finally, we analyse the statistical multiplexing in a new ATM architecture by comparing the multiplexing of VBR sources (with a modulated Markovian chains) on a CBR and on a VBR connection, using the above techniques.

Hartzell Propeller has extended its sponsorship relationship with Michael Goulian for the 2015 Red Bull Air Race World Championship. This is the second consecutive year for the partnership between the aviation superstar and Hartzell.
“We were so pleased with being able to sponsor exciting airshow veteran Michael Goulian for the Red Bull Air Races in 2014 that we wanted to do it again. He personifies the excitement for aviation and flying that as a company and as individual aviators we fully embrace,” said Hartzell Propeller President Joe Brown.
“The Hartzell Claw propeller on my Red Bull Air Race Edge 540 performed perfectly and, of course, reliably during all of the 2014 race events,” said Goulian. “With the Hartzell Claw I have one less thing to think about during the races because it performs as expected every time I fly.”
As the official propeller technical partner for the Red Bull Air Race World Championship, Hartzell will also provide its three-blade structural composite propeller known as The Claw, carbon fiber composite spinners and lightweight governors to each of the race teams. In addition, Hartzell is providing complete propeller technical support and maintenance services for all of the race entrants.
Hartzell’s three-bladed structural composite propeller was nicknamed the Claw due to its high thrust and low gyroscopic forces and inertia. These characteristics, coupled with the strength of the composite construction, make it an ideal match for the race series.
The Red Bull Air Race World Championship is an official World Championship, accredited by the FAI – The World Air Sports Federation. Since it was launched, the Red Bull Air Race World Championship has become globally renowned as the fastest and most exhilarating motorsport on the planet.
Devised by the Red Bull sports think-tank, the initial goal was to create the most advanced aerial challenge the world had ever seen; what has evolved into the Red Bull Air Races has far exceeded original expectations. It is a visual spectacle unlike any other. A combination of high speed, low altitude and extreme maneuverability make it only accessible to the world’s most exceptional pilots.

EXCLUSIVE: Movement for a People's Party National Chair Nick Brana Was Under Investigation for Alleged Sexual Harassment, Board Members Purged
“We were removed because we were concerned about Nick remaining in his position,” Regina Clarke, one of five MPP board members abruptly removed on Sunday and Monday, told Status Coup News
Multiple sources familiar with Movement for a People’s Party [MPP], which over the years has attempted to build a third party that can run local and federal candidates, told Status Coup News that Nick Brana, MPP’s national chair, has been under internal investigation since December 2021 after a female subordinate that Brana had, at one point, had a romantic relationship with made accusations of sexual harassment against him.
Multiple sources told Status Coup the female who made the accusation will be going public herself.
Status Coup has reviewed documents that confirm the investigation was launched in the middle of December 2021. A special investigation committee [SIC] consisting of three MPP board members was formed to investigate and conduct interviews with Brana, the accuser, and anyone else relevant to the investigation. On December 13th, 2021, the three board members who were appointed to serve on the SICreached out to Brana informing him of the allegations and trying set up a time to conduct an interview with him.
“I can confirm that I was one of four MPP board members serving on a special investigative committee investigating accusations of sexual harassment against MPP chair Nick Brana,” Regina Clarke, one of five MPP board members who was abruptly removed from the board on Sunday February 20th and Monday February 21st, told Status Coup.
“We were removed [from the board] because we were concerned about Nick remaining in his position,” Clarke said. “As the investigation went on, it was clear there was sexual harassment going on; for other alleged acts, there was debate on whether it was harassment or extended further.”
Nick Brana did not respond to Status Coup’s request for comment or a number of questions about the allegations against him.
Clarke told Status Coup that the SIC originally consisted of three MPP board members. But, weeks later, concerns mounted that one of the SIC’s members was leaking information to Brana. As a result, a fourth board member was added to the SIC.
Clarke detailed a stark evolution of findings and recommendations by the SIC after the group found the accuser’s accusation against Brana credible.
Originally, Clarke said, the SIC members planned on making several recommendations: a six-month probationary period where Brana would have to be free of any type of sexual harassment accusations, take training classes for sexual harassment, participate in workplace supervisory training, and also that he not serve as a one-on-one supervisor to the accuser or anyone else during that six-month probation period.
But, as the investigation continued—and Brana allegedly retaliated against other MPP staffers—two out of the four members of the SIC escalated their recommendations to calling for Brana to be removed as MPP national chair and board member. The other two members of the SIC, who multiple sources described as “pro-Brana,” called for sticking to the original six-month probationary period with the requisite trainings Brana would have to take.
But Clarke and the other members of the SIC never got the chance to make their recommendations.
Through multiple sources, including Clarke, Status Coup learned of an abrupt two-to- three day period between Saturday February 19th and Monday February 21st where five board members were abruptly removed from MPP’s board after they had called for an emergency meeting to go over the findings of the investigation into Brana.
Before the five board members’ removal, MPP’s board had consisted of 10 people including national chair Nick Brana and his father Rodrigo Brana, who is co-coordinator of MPP’s finance committee.
Multiple sources told Status Coup that on Saturday February 19th, Clarke and four other board members, Thomas Royko, Todd Jelen, David Fishel, and David Schmelzer sent a petition to other members of the partial MPP board.
The partial board consisted of eight out of 10 board members—minus Nick Brana and Rodrigo Brana.
The petition sent to the rest of the partial board requested an emergency meeting of the partial board to take place the next day, Sunday February 20th, to discuss the findings of a two-month investigation into accusations of alleged sexual harassment by Brana against the female subordinate who, at one point, he was romantically involved with.
“For at least one week leading up to our removal, we’ve been trying to meet with other board members to settle the findings of this investigation but those board members either didn’t confirm that they couldn’t make proposed meeting times or didn’t propose alternative times,” Clarke told Status Coup (another MPP source confirmed this). “There was a stalling going on by pro-Brana board members. We kept reaching out and reaching out to meet since Super Bowl Sunday on February 13th.”
On Sunday February 20th, the five board members who had called for the meeting the day before showed up to the Zoom meeting. But the three other members of the partial board as well as MPP’s general counsel did not join the meeting.
“We contacted the lawyer but he didn’t provide a firm answer,” Clarke said. “Within an hour, we received an email from the general counsel informing four of us that we were no longer board members after the rest of the board voted to remove us. The reason provided for three of us being removed was missing more than four board meetings in 12 months. The fourth, David Schmelzer, was listed as having resigned himself.”
A day later, on Monday February 21st, David Fishel—who was part of the five board members who called for the emergency Sunday meeting—was removed from the board.
Clarke added that the “crazy thing” was that one of the board members who voted to remove her and three others, Phil Ateto, had previously resigned from the board before the investigation into Brana began in December 2021 (Status Coup asked Brana why Ateto was allowed to vote if he was no longer a board member). Clarke and another source also noted that several of the board members who had voted to remove the four other board members for missed board meetings had also missed more than four board meetings in a year.
Soon after the email from MPP’s general counsel came informing the four board members of their removal, they lost access to MPP’s Slack channel, Google Drive, and their MPP email addresses.
Clarke and two other MPP sources detailed that as the investigation into Brana went on, Brana did several things that MPP board members viewed as retaliation meant to undermine the female accuser. Some of Brana’s alleged retaliation revolved around him trying to create oversight structures so that he would be directly overseeing certain MPP staffer’s day-to-day functions and performance—which would weaken the accuser’s role at MPP.
“1,000 percent,” Clarke said about Brana allegedly trying to obstruct the investigation. “There was growing concern about Brana’s actions that felt like ways to obstruct the investigation.”
Brana did not respond to questions about alleged retaliation or other questions. Without a response from him, we can cite the most recent public message from MPP’s Florida chapter that provides insight—a tweet claiming: “VICTORY DECLARED!” and insinuating that the board members who had been removed over the weekend and Monday had been discovered to be “liberal contractors.”
“The infiltration tactic is classic MPP,” Renee Johnston, a former New York-based MPP member who was removed in 2021, told Status Coup.
“When they want to be rid of the people who ask too many questions or push for too much change they suddenly become bad actors and Democratic Party infiltrators and find themselves removed. The reality is most of the purged people still very much believe in the need for a third party to contest the two-party duopoly.”
Status Coup will update this story if and when Nick Brana responds to our request for comment.

Today, CD Projekt RED shared the first gameplay footage from Cyberpunk 2077. Cyberpunk 2077 is an open world, first-person, narrative-driven role-playing game set in the universe of the classic Cyberpunk 2020 pen and paper game system.
The game follows the story of "V", a hired gun on the rise in "Night City", the most violent and deadly place in a corporate-ruled future. The game features Xbox One controller icons, but it was probably recorded from PC.
Cyberpunk 2077 Game Director Adam Badowski provided a brief overview of the demo's contents.
What we're releasing today was recorded from a game deep in development. Since many of the assets and mechanics in the current version of Cyberpunk 2077 are most likely to be modified, we initially decided to show this gameplay only to media. Elements like gunplay, netrunning, car physics... everything's pretty much still in the playtest phase and we felt uneasy about publicly committing to any particular design. Animation glitches, work-in-progress.... expressions... all this made us hesitant to release what you're about to see. However, we are also well aware that many of you want to see what the media saw. Although this is probably not the same game you'll see on your screen when we launch, we still decided to share this... with you.
The game will be releasing on Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4 in the future. It's going to be enhanced for Xbox One X as well. It's unclear if the title is launching in 2019 or beyond. However, given the scope of the project, it seems like we have a long wait ahead of us.

There is no shortage of questions entering Tennessee's first Orange & White spring football game with Josh Heupel at the helm.
Who will have the best Saturday afternoon among quarterbacks Harrison Bailey, Hendon Hooker and Brian Maurer? Will Alex Golesh's offense or the defense under Tim Banks have the better day? Will Mother Nature have any effect on the offense's desired tempo?
No matter what transpires inside what could be a soggy Neyland Stadium, it is certain to be important to Heupel.
"Collectively as a staff, this is our greatest dress rehearsal before we get to the fall," Heupel said. "The first two scrimmages we tried to treat like a game in everything that we were doing for our players to make sure they were prepared and understood what we wanted. This will be a huge opportunity for our staff to grow and to make sure we're ready to operate efficiently and effectively."
The Orange & White game, which starts at 4, will be available on SET Network+ and can be heard on the Vol Network, and it also can be streamed through utsports.com. Tennessee held its 13th spring practice Thursday, with a walkthrough Friday serving as the 14th.
Tennessee never came close to a spring game last year, when the outbreak of the coronavirus suspended team activities after two practices, and this year's components are eager to see what transpires.
"These practices are all important, and that's not a coaching cliche," Banks said. "When you're a new team and a new staff, you understand how valuable every single rep is and how valuable every single practice is. Our kids understand that, and they understand that there is a lot of work that still needs to be done for us to go where we want to go, and that's the motivation they have.
"These guys are hungry, and they want to get better. I would be extremely disappointed if they didn't come out excited for the opportunity to obviously get inside Neyland and to tee this thing up."
Tennessee announced Friday that offensive players will wear orange jerseys and that defensive players will wear white jerseys. Normal game scoring will apply, with the offense alternating possessions for the Orange and White teams.
The first half will contain two 15-minute quarters, and there will be a 10-minute halftime. The third and fourth quarters will be accompanied by a running clock.
"What a great opportunity for our guys to compete in front of our fans, put on a show and show the improvement that they've made," Heupel said.
Admission to the Orange & White game is free, with the Neyland Stadium gates set to open at 2:30.

Celebrating life's special moments
Choosing a celebrant that is right for you will allow your personality and uniqueness to shine through.
1. a person who performs a rite.
2. a person who celebrates something.
Celebrating life’s special moments is essential to who we are as human beings. From the beginning of history people have come together to celebrate events and people that mean so much to us; from the birth of a child, an expression of love or marriage, or the celebration of a loved one’s life achievements. It is fundamental to what gives us a sense of belonging and acceptance.
A celebration is often what turns a special moment into a memory that will stir emotions for a lifetime. The right celebrant will not only take away some of the stress in planning a big celebration (or a little one, for that matter!), but will help you transform a happy occasion into something beautiful that people will keep in their hearts and memories for many years to come.

Straight from the Konami E3-Pre Show, which happened to be a pre-recorded show rather than a live event, Hideo Kojima took the stage to talk about the theme of the game. The game takes place in 1984, with a Snake who is in his late 40’s.
Avi Arad and Hideo Kojima together discussed the emotions of Snake. Kojima wanted everything to be portrayed using a vocal and emotional performance. Between the two, they decided that Keifer Sutherland was the man for the job and was brought in to do the role of motion capturing Snake. Not only that, Kiefer Sutherland has been confirmed as the brand new voice actor for the legendary Big Boss and is the replacement for David Hayter.
There you have it, folks. David Hayter will not be playing Snake in Metal Gear Solid V. Tell us what you think of this, is Kiefer Sutherland the right man for the job? Will be be able to win die-hard fans over?

At the Loring, Wolcott and Coolidge Office, we've been meeting the fiduciary, investment and estate planning needs of individuals and families for generations. We trace our firm's roots to the early 1800s, when our ancestors were entrusted with managing the fortunes of some of America's most prominent families.
Our history begins with Nathaniel Bowditch, one of New England's great innovators. He is credited with landmark achievements in everything from insurance to mathematics and navigation, including authoring The American Practical Navigator, still used by mariners today. In 1817, Bowditch took on his first trust accounts, a responsibility that was passed on to his son, Jonathan, and his grandson, Alfred.
In the late 1800s, leadership of the firm passed to Alfred's son-in-law Augustus Peabody Loring, the pre-eminent probate attorney of his day, associated with the Loring & Coolidge law firm. In 1893, he wrote A Trustees Handbook, still used by trustees and students of law.
Loring, Wolcott & Coolidge still counts among its principal members of the Loring and Coolidge families. Led by their example, the firm still embraces the ideals of stewardship and service that have been a hallmark of Loring, Wolcott and Coolidge from the beginning.
Like Nathaniel Bowditch two centuries ago, we continue to seek new and better ways to fulfill our commitment to help preserve and enhance our clients' financial legacies.

CRICKETER David Warner and his wife Candice have splashed out almost $4 million on a Maroubra knockdown.
The four-bedroom house on Mermaid Ave was on the market for 12 days before the couple snapped it up on Wednesday, December 2.
McGrath Edgecliff selling agent Simon Exleton said while the price was confidential, it sold for closer to $4 million than its $3.5-$3.75 million price guide.
“We issued six contracts with three serious buyers making offers above the price guide,” Mr Exleton said.
“Dave outbid them … he did everything right and stepped up and secured it.”
Mr Exleton said the couple who are parents to 15-month-old daughter Ivy Mae, had been house hunting for some time and intend to knock down and rebuild the Mermaid Ave home.
They anticipate that it will be a two-year project.
Warner, Falzone and other interested buyers were keen on the property because of its ocean-side location, its almost 900sq m land size and never to be built out views.
The property has views of Lurline Bay and has previous DA approval for a four-level, 550sq m house designed by architects Tobias Partners.
The pair are currently South Coogee residents, having bought a clifftop home in January 2014 for $6.25 million.
The home features panoramic ocean views and was previously owned by property developer Carly Crutchfield and had been tenanted by Kylie Minogue, Natalie Bassingthwaighte and the cast of Jersey Shore.
In October last year, Warner sold his two-bedroom Maroubra apartment for $650,000, five years after buying it as a first homeowner.
According to CoreLogic RP Data, Warner also owns two apartments on Bunnerong Rd in Matraville, the suburb he grew up in.
He is preparing to face the West Indies in Hobart.

The psychopath Michael Stone remained free to kill because those supervising him were divided about his psychiatric condition, according to a report to be published tomorrow.
Stone's murder of Lin Russell and her daughter, Megan, in Kent in 1996 horrified Britain and raised profound questions about how society deals with people suffering from serious mental health problems. Lin's other daughter, Josie, now 19, was also bludgeoned in the hammer attack, but survived.
Tomorrow's 350-page report into Stone's psychiatric problems, which was completed six years ago but was withheld while the killer appealed against his convicton, is expected to highlight how social workers and mental health experts could not agree a diagnosis, due to the complexity of his illness.
'Some thought he was paranoid, some a schizophrenic, some that he suffered from a psychotic personality disorder,' said a source familiar with the report. 'Because of the failure to agree, he slipped through the safety net. He was on a probation order when he really should have been sectioned under a hospital order.'
Stone, 45, took legal action to keep the report secret. But a High Court ruling last July said it was in the public interest for the report to be published. It is expected to raise questions about the role of the Kent and Medway health authority, which treated Stone as an outpatient.
Stone, a heroin addict, armed robber and police informant, had a long history of mental illness and harboured fantasies about killing. The report highlights how he experienced a psychotic episode in 1995, but was not admitted to care. He also told a psychiatric nurse he knew where he could obtain a shotgun. However, although this information was discussed with police, no action was deemed necessary.
The report notes that in March 1996, three months before the killings, probation officers suggested Stone exhibited a 'high risk of offending' and warned that the threat was 'ever present'. Stone's mental health problems were exacerbated by his chronic drug dependency. The report identifies how in the mid-Nineties there were intense pressures on drug treatment agencies in the south-east. A prolific number of heroin users in Kent meant resources were overstretched, with the result that Stone did not receive the treatment he demanded. Although he repeatedly asked to be admitted to a hospital detoxification unit, it was decided to continue treating him as an outpatient on a methadone programme. Over a two-year period, probation officers noted that Stone regularly injected heroin while taking methadone, with the result that his moods were erratic and hard to monitor.
At his trial in 1998, the jury heard how Stone made lists of people he was going to kill and had a history of violence. In 1981 he was jailed for two years for a hammer attack and robbery. In 1983 he stabbed a man in the chest. Three years later he carried out two armed robberies in Leeds.
The Russell murders prompted calls for a controversial change to the law so that people with serious psychopathic disorders could be taken into compulsory care, even if mental health experts believed they would not benefit from treatment. But psychiatrists objected to what they described as a 'draconian' change which they claimed would turn them into jailers. The backlash prompted ministers to scrap the mental health bill last March. However, the government plans to amend existing laws so that psychiatrists can detain people indefinitely in mental hospitals, even if there is no cure for their condition.
But those working in public protection said more still needed to be done. 'The situation now is as bad as it was in 1996, with mentally ill drug addicts often falling between agencies,' said one probation officer. 'What is needed is a multi-agency approach that focuses on a person's needs and provides a clear risk assessment.'
The publication of tomorrow's report is likely to be welcomed by Josie and her father, Shaun, an academic who has devoted his life to caring for his daughter. In an interview in the Sun last July, Josie, who is now studying art and design, said she hoped the report would be made public. 'I know there is a book that is all about him and why things went wrong,' Josie said.
'I hope the book will come out but I never think about him. There is nothing to think about. If he hadn't done what he did things would be different - that's all I think.'


US blocks Cuba from international baseball tournament
The US Government has blocked a Cuban baseball team from taking part in a major international tournament scheduled for early next year, citing a more than four-decade-old economic embargo against the island.
The action came despite the fact the Cubans were not even supposed to play on US soil.
But since they were to benefit financially from their participation in the World Baseball Classic, the US Treasury Department told the Major League Baseball association - the event organiser - it would be against the law to include a team from the communist-ruled nation.
The department, which is charged with enforcing the embargo, would not confirm of deny its decision, citing a long-standing policy of not commenting on individual licenses issued or denied to people or organisations.
The World Baseball Classic, set for March 3-20 in the US, Puerto Rico and Japan, was to bring together national teams from 16 top baseball-playing nations around the world.
According to a schedule put together by its organisers, the Cuban national team would have played all of its games in Puerto Rico - first against Panama, then the Netherlands and after that Puerto Rico itself.

A 14 team Big Ten football conference leads to disparities in talent and quality of play. The B1G has some of the best programs in the nation, and definitely one of the worst.
It’s a new year, with new starting quarterbacks, new offensive coordinators, and new head coaches, and new hopes. Here are my Big Ten power rankings heading into the season.
The Rutgers football program has been nothing but a punch-line for a good chunk of years now, but they’re hoping that they can turn things around with head coach Greg Schiano returning to the program. It’s going to take some time for Schiano to turn Rutgers into a team that competes at an adequate level each and every week. Rutgers is still the bottom of the barrel in the Big Ten until proven otherwise.
13. Michigan State
MSU has a new head coach and staff during an unprecedented off-season with not nearly enough practice time for a new regime to implement their installs. Head coach Mel Tucker has his work cut out for him and then some, especially without knowing who their starting quarterback is heading into the year. Michigan State’s record could be as ugly has it has been in well over a decade, but maybe Tucker can prove me wrong.
Any other year Maryland would certainly be ranked below MSU, but a modest jump is not saying much about the Terps. While head coach Mike Locksley has shown to be a good offensive play-caller, it doesn’t really matter much when your defense gives up 37.8 points per game (No. 123 in the nation in 2019). Alabama transfer QB Taulia Tagovailoa could bolster Maryland’s offense, but there’s still no word on if he’s won his appeal to gain immediate eligibility.
The Scott Frost era has been a major disappoint for Nebraska fans to this point. There was a ton of hype when Frost arrived at Nebraska and many predicted he’d turn the program around quickly. That hasn’t been the case. Nebraska is a shell of their former self and don’t expect that to change anytime soon. Quarterback Adrian Martinez has talent but hasn’t lived up to his potential yet and it won’t be easy for him to get acclimated with new offensive coordinator Matt Lubick’s scheme. It also doesn’t help that one of their most electric players, J.D. Spielman, to TCU.
Gotta give Lovie Smith some credit, Illinois competed in 2019 week in and week out. Former Michigan quarterback Brandon Peters helped the Illini stun Wisconsin and Michigan State, and there’s no reason to think Peters won’t be even better this season.
Purdue has one of the best receiving duos in the Big Ten in Rondale Moore and David Bell and defensive end George Karlaftis can really get after the QB, but overall the roster is so-so/has question marks. It might boil down to the QB play of Jack Plummer as to whether the Boilermakers have a record north of .500.
Last season was absolutely ugly for Northwestern, who finished the season 3-9. I expect the team to be much more competitive this season, especially with former Indiana QB Peyton Ramsey transferring to the program. Ramsey won’t have the amount of weapons he had at IU, but we’ll see if he can make things happen nonetheless and bolster that offense single-handedly. As long as defensive minded head coach Pat Fitzgerald has the defense executing at a respectable level, Northwestern will have a better 2020 than ‘19.
Any Big Ten knows that Iowa can be a major pain in the rear end and is always ready to pull of an upset. They’ll have a new quarterback in Spencer Petras, but there’s a good chance he could be an upgrade over the inaccurate and immobile Nate Stanley. Well coached and always packed with a solid rushing attack and defense, Iowa is pretty much the same team each and every year from a talent perspective.
Indiana finally found themselves a head coach that the players believe in and will fight for. IU was No. 3 in the Big Ten last season in total offense, they have a good young quarterback in Michael Penix Jr. who has weapons to help him out (WR Whop Philyor and RB Stevie Scott). Indiana could very well have one of the best offenses yet again in the Big Ten, but a lot of that will hinge on if Penix can stay healthy for an entire season.
Wisconsin is basically a better version of Iowa. Always well coached, always a good offensive line, always a solid defense, and always around the 8-10 win mark. The thing Wisconsin has going against them is the loss of phenom running back Jonathan Taylor, that type of production is hard to replace. Quartberback Jack Coan was merely a game manager last season and it’s reasonable to think Coan’s going to struggle without Taylor and opposing defenses stacking the box less this year. Coan’s production or lacketherof aside, Wisconsin’s defense is going to keep them in a lot of games to where there will be weeks where if the Badgers score 17 points they’ll win.
Row. The. Boat. The P.J. Fleck era of Minnesota football has been an energetic one and productive as well. Their upset of Penn State last season was one of their biggest wins in program history. Tanner Morgan is arguably the best QB in the Big Ten and wideouts like Rashod Batemen and Chris Autman-Bell will make the offense a fun one to watch yet again in 2020.
Michigan has a very talented receiving corp in Nico Collins, Ronnie Bell, Giles Jackson, Cornelius Johnson, and beyond along with a diverse group of RB’s in Zach Charbonnet, Hassan Haskins, and Chris Evans. The UM defense should be just fine and among the best in the conference despite losing key contributors to the NFL. The biggest question marks for Michigan are at quarterback and offensive line. UM will have four new starters along the o-line, not an ideal situation, and they haven’t named a starting quarterback between Dylan McCaffrey, Joe Milton, and dark horse Cade McNamara. If Michigan receives production from the o-line and QB position, their ranking will move higher up the board.
2. Penn State
The Nittany Lions may have lost WR KJ Hamler, but they return 8 starters on offense and QB Sean Clifford is a top-tier college quarterback and their RB trio of Journey Brown, Noah Cain and Devyn Ford is a formidable one. And the PSU defense, despite some losses will still be one of the best in the B1G with LB Micah Parson’s leading the D.
1. Ohio State
Justin Fields had an incredible 2019 and still has guys like Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson to throw to. The RB position is a question mark with J.K. Dobbins, as is how they’ll replace the production of top NFL draft picks DE Chase Young and CB Jeffrey Okudah. The thing about OSU is it doesn’t seem to matter what players they lose because they recruit so well and are incredibly well coached. Until someone can start consistently toppling the Buckeyes for the Big Ten Championship, Ohio State is No. 1.


October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the coffee mornings at the Community Centre at St Augustine’s Church, Richmond Road, will be dedicated to raising awareness of the problems facing the women in Gaza. We will also be raising funds for the Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City, to help extend their education and screening program.
The Gaza strip is 25 miles long by about 7 miles wide and is home to some 1.8 million people. Three major conflicts in five years have led to massive levels of destruction and a devastated infrastructure – 90% of water is unsafe to drink and power cuts are currently lasting up to 20 hours a day. During this period, cancer rates have risen drastically in Gaza, which is particularly worrying for women, as breast cancer kills more women than any other form of cancer in there, and the five-year survival rates are less than half those in the UK.
Even after treatment is started there are huge difficulties due to the Israeli restrictions on supplies and the high cost of drugs, which often result in patients only being given four-weeks supply. This means the treatment is only partial, being either interrupted or ended early. Radiotherapy is not possible in Gaza as the necessary radioisotopes are forbidden by the Israeli authorities.
The consequences of all this are devastating with many women dying when their deaths are preventable; or living with the scars of medical techniques no longer practiced in the UK.
If you would like to join us for coffee, cake and a chat we will be open as usual, from 10:30 until 12:00 Monday, Wednesday & Friday with October’s proceeds going to this cause. For a week from 6th October we will also have a small exhibition at the centre giving more information about the situation and Al Ahli Arab Hospital.
Talk and discussion 16th October 2019
Speaker Hazem Jamjoum, a policy member of al-Shabaka, the Palestine Policy Network. (here he is speaking at the PSC conference last year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYC4inmUHdM )
In this interactive presentation he will offer a historical analysis of the emergence of the Zionist movement, and some of the key factors and institutions relating to that movement that continue to shape Israeli settler colonialism in Palestine. Specifically, the event will offer examination of the ongoing forced displacement of Palestinians leading up to and since the establishment of the state of Israel, and the connections between Israeli policies and practices and those of other settler colonies in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Old Picture (Bed)
Watercolor on Inkjet Print
I printed Matthew’s photograph using my inkjet printer. For me, he stayed somewhere between the real and the virtual, and if I printed the image out, it became a false image. It was like a photograph from a long time ago, with no relevance or persuasiveness. The watercolor was applied to the print, just like people painted black and photographs in the old time. As I put more watercolor, the likeliness appeared and disappeared. I didn’t wanted the image to be too far apart from what I know of him, so I stopped painting. However incomplete it is, the photograph seemed more real to me than the inkjet print did. Long long time later, when the ink fades away and water color stays, it may become a nice watercolor painting.

A letter from a group of large U.S. produce buyers said suppliers who refuse to conform to the Produce Traceability Initiative timeline “will ultimately put us and our consumers at risk.”
The letter said the buyers are moving forward to full implementation of standardized case-level traceability and they expect their suppliers to do the same.
One representative of an organization signing the letter said it’s important for suppliers to know buyers are making significant investments as well in standardized case-level traceability for the whole chain.
“It would be unfortunate if the supply side invested a lot of money in traceability and then for us retailers not to do anything with it,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president of produce for Schnuck Markets Inc., St. Louis, Mo. O’Brien said Sept. 28 that Schnuck’s is working on a “best-practices” program with the traceability initiative to build needed changes to their internal systems. “We’ve got the money budgeted next year to build ourselves a program.”
The September letter was sent to the produce suppliers of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Safeway Inc., Pleasanton, Calif., Schnuck Markets Inc., St. Louis, Mo., Cincinnati-based The Kroger Co., Houston-based foodservice giant Sysco Corp., Wegman's Food Markets Inc., Rochester, N.Y., SuperValu Inc., Eden Prairie, Minn.; Food Lion LLC, Salisbury, N.C., H.E. Butt Grocery Co., San Antonio, Texas; and Pro*Act, Monterey, Calif.
Gary Fleming, the Newark, Del-based Produce Marketing Association’s vice president of industry technology and standards, said PMA helped to draft the letter but said it was done on behalf of all the buyers.
“They asked us to draft something but they are the ones who put their logos on it because they said, ‘This is what we want to send out to our suppliers,’” he said.
Fleming said it is impossible to say how many retailers are on board with the PTI beyond those listed on the letter, but he said the communication doesn’t represent the complete list of those supporting it.
An excerpt from the letter:
“As key trading partners within the produce industry, our expectation is that you, our valued suppliers, adhere to the milestones and timelines of the PTI. We, ourselves, are committed to these same timelines and milestones and are not able to achieve them without your conformance and active participation.”
In addition, the letter acknowledged the reality of additional costs but said it was important to start the process now rather than wait on federal mandates.
The tone of the letter was not mean to bully, O’Brien said.
“We’re taking this very seriously and this isn’t just a recipe of the month,” he said. “We are very serious about it. We’re investing millions of dollars into this program as well.”
So far, suppliers have not given Schnuck’s any resistance, he said.
“I think everybody understands this is just something we all have to do,” he said.

One reason the absorbing 158-minute "Zodiac" is so long is it tells two stories at once - or, rather, the same story twice: one about police investigating a serial killer in California in the 1960s and 1970s, and one about a reporter who picks up the bloody baton when the investigation dies down.
Another reason is that "Zodiac" is an uncompromisingly methodical portrait of the procedural aspects of a case in which the killer taunted police, the public and the press through letters written in code. But the last reason is that, like everyone involved in the real-life case, director David Fincher became obsessed with it, to the point of uncovering new details, at the expense of a clean and clear dramatic arc.
As a result, "Zodiac" is a sort of mirror held up to a messy reality that remains unresolved today, and which helps you understand why "docudramas" take liberties with the facts and the truth to streamline the storytelling process.
While the subject matter begs to be written in blood, "Zodiac" is Fincher's least visceral film to date, though perhaps his most unsettling.
Outside of a few crime tableaux that have the hyper-realism (the film was shot on high definition video) of a David Lynch film - down to banal details like the blinking turn signal of a victim's car - the film is so anchored to process that it has an emotional void where its compassion should be.
Fincher jettisons the stylized contrivances and devices of his past films, "Seven" and "Fight Club," for all-you-can-eat, meat-and-potatoes storytelling and portraying the social maelstrom caused by the crimes in personal microcosm.
Younger audiences who have turned Fincher into a cult caricature neglect to realize that the grimly inventive "Seven" and the trippy anarchy of "Fight Club" stood on character-based foundations. And so does "Zodiac," which recalls two other films: conspiracy-addled "JFK," as a cop, played by Mark Ruffalo, follows red herrings down blind alleys, and the gumshoe journalism of "All the President's Men," in which the puzzle-loving, editorial-cartoonist-turned-writer played by Jake Gyllenhaal tries to find a method in the killer's madness, but is driven half-mad himself, losing his family and his job along the way.
His character is based on Robert Graysmith, whose book on the case was adapted for the film by producer James Vanderbilt.
Kenosha native Ruffalo is a mutton-chop-wearing, animal cracker-eating Columbo whose career is ruined by the case; Gyllenhaal is the single dad, afraid to let his son ride buses to school after the Zodiac killer threatens to attack one.
They are the pillars around which facts, names and dates accumulate like snowdrifts, and supporting characters swirl, including Robert Downey Jr. as a dissolute crime reporter; Brian Cox as flamboyant attorney Melvin Belli swept up in the public spectacle; Elias Koteas and Donal Logue as small-town police caught in the case's jurisdictional sprawl; and Philip Baker Hall, as a handwriting expert who may or may not be reliable.
There are so many dots in a film that spans a 20-plus-year period it's hard to connect them all, and the fact that no one has ever been arrested in the case suggests that it's even futile to try. In stripping "Zodiac" down to just-the-facts-ma'am basics, Fincher has made a film in the inscrutable image of the very case it explores.

Archway or Whittington? Tube station debate set to go global
AS regular readers of this newspaper know, Archway resident Walter Roberts wants Archway Station to be renamed after Dick Whittington. Now his lengthy one-man campaign is set to receive a wider airing after I mentioned it on BBC Radio London s Breakfast S
AS regular readers of this newspaper know, Archway resident Walter Roberts wants Archway Station to be renamed after Dick Whittington. Now his lengthy one-man campaign is set to receive a wider airing after I mentioned it on BBC Radio London's Breakfast Show yesterday. Hosts Paul Ross and JoAnne Good were really interested in the idea, so expect to hear Walter making his case any day now on a radio near you.
I'll also have an opportunity to bend current mayor Boris Johnson's ear about the Whittington campaign next Tuesday night, so you never know where this may all end up. The Ham&High has supported many worthy campaigns over the years, but I don't think we've ever helped to re-name a Tube station.
Walter has also been campaining to have a statue of the city's first mayor commissioned on Highgate Hill, widely believed to be Whittington's famous 'turning point'. Interestingly, a beautifully statue of Whittington, sculpted by Joseph Carew in 1824, was lost to the area and removed to East Grinstead when the Whittington Almhouse was demolished on Highgate Hill. So there is a precedent, as they say...

Tragedy struck in Nawabshah as the Hazara Express train derailed, resulting in a devastating loss of life. Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah shared the grim news that 30 passengers lost their lives and 110 others sustained injuries in the accident. Following the derailment, the Chief Minister visited the scene to assess the situation firsthand.
The incident occurred near Sarhari, causing 10 coaches of the train to derail. This particular train was en route from Karachi to Sargodha. The rescue teams have been working tirelessly to clear the affected train cars and help passengers who were trapped. Unfortunately, there’s a possibility that the death toll might increase, as 10 of the injured individuals are in critical condition, according to rescue sources.
Eyewitnesses at the scene described the heart-wrenching discovery of 25 bodies within one of the train coaches. The Pakistan Railways spokesperson mentioned that over 1000 passengers had reserved seats on this ill-fated journey. The situation remains intense as rescue efforts continue.
A state of emergency has been declared in nearby hospitals due to a critical situation. The railway tracks between Karachi and Lahore are currently blocked because of a rescue operation.
Two trains carrying relief and rescue teams have been dispatched from Sukkur to the location of the incident. Those who were injured are currently receiving medical treatment at hospitals in Nawabshah, Tando Adam, Shahdadpur, and Hyderabad.
The Chief Minister of Sindh, Murad Ali Shah, expressed his condolences for the loss of lives in the train accident. He instructed the relevant authorities to promptly provide medical assistance to the victims.
Over the past two years alone, there have been 500 minor and major accidents on railway tracks that are more than 150 years old. These accidents have become commonplace due to the deteriorated condition of 300 kilometers of railway tracks. Strangely, no one seems willing to take responsibility for this situation.

Buying jewellery is a good investment you can have because not only it is an asset but you can also wear it in your daily use. Buying jewellery has actually become easier because of the EMI facilities provided by the banks. It is no longer the case that only people with loads of money can buy jewellery. Now middle-class people can also buy jewellery with the help of a loan and dividing their bill into months. Paying a big amount into milestones is indeed easier and convenient, plus, you get the jewellery to use. While selecting the EMI option you must be careful with the bank through which you are getting the facility. The bank should be a trusted one and should have good records in the past. Here are 5 most trustworthy banks that provide EMI on jewellery London. Almost all jewellers offer their customers to use EMI facilities of these banks only.
If you are planning to buy a wedding ring or an engagement ring London, you must check out the EMI facilities of these top 5 banks
- HSBC Holdings – The headquarters of the HSBC Holdings is in London itself. The bank was founded back then in 1880 and was the 6th largest bank in the world by 2020. The bank manages 964 branches in the UK itself and also has several branches distributed in other countries.
- Barclays plc – Barclays also have their headquarters in London and was founded in 1690. Barclays has a primary listing on the London stock exchange and is also a constituent of the FTSE 100 index.
- Royal Bank of Scotland – This bank was founded in 1880 and has its headquarters in Edinburgh. The bank employs 77,000 employers under them.
- Lloyds banking group – The bank was founded in 1695 and has its headquarters in London. It is one of the oldest operating banks in the UK.
- Standard chartered plc – This bank also has its headquarters in London and was founded in 1969. The bank employs more than 86,000 individuals. It has 964 branches in UK and more outside.
Whenever you take EMI as a payment option, make sure to read all the terms and conditions written in the agreement. There are several minor details that you may miss out and can cause you any unnecessary penalties. The time limit that you get for completing the payment in milestones is not for free, in exchange for that time, the bank charges interest on the principal amount. You can decrease that rate of interest if you lessen the time limit in which you are going to pay the bill. The more time you take, the higher the rate of interest you would be charged. Different banks have a different rate of interest on jewellery. As an informed customer you must look for a trustworthy bank which provides decent services and offers a reasonable rate of interest. London being one of the core economies of United Kingdom and among the popular travel places in Europe also has the richest banks to provide loans for big purchases. Hatton garden jewellers London gives you all buying options including credit cards, debit cards and EMI.
The post 5 trustworthy banks to purchase jewellery through EMI in London appeared first on Evertise.


This week I have found that lighting scenes that set a dimmer on 1 or more of the devices, will cause the non-dimmable devices to not fire.
As an example, if I set up a scene that has dimmable bulbs (zigbee), dimmable outlets (z wave), and on/off switches (GE z wave wall toggle), and do not set dimmer levels on any of the dimmable devices, everything turns on as expected (of course at the previous dimmer levels). The moment I change any of the dimmable devices to a dimmer setting, none of the non-dimmable (in this case the GE Z Wave switches) will fire. When I disable the dimmer setting for the device(s) in the scene, the switches work again.
These scenes worked fine until this week when I had to re-add one of my switches that was not cooperating. However, this issue exists on any combination of my switches and dimmable devices.

Hitting the government’s target of doubling UK exports to £1tn a year by 2020 will be no mean feat, if recent research that found the proportion of British businesses that export has stayed put at 50% over the last few years is anything to go by.
What’s becoming all too clear is that it won’t just be met by shipping out ever more Jaguars and Dysons. The answer lies in encouraging our wealth of small business talent to look to foreign shores - but it’s easier said than done.
Most small firms we talk to see their growth coming from within the UK, either through new customers, or through up-selling to existing ones. There’s still a limited appetite when it comes to exports. So how can the government encourage more small businesses to take the plunge when it comes to overseas markets?
Here are a few suggestions that could give small businesses the added push to go global.
1. Protect the product
Manufacturers in particular often complain about the infringement of their intellectual property overseas. It can be extremely hard and costly to protect your product or service from the greasy fingers of those wanting to steal your idea.
While Europe is setting up patent courts, outside the EU there are sizeable problems for the government to address. Assuring small firms it will do all it can to protect trademarks, patents and copyrights, and giving overseas governments the push they need to enforce those, will do much to reassure small businesses that exporting is worth looking at.?
2. Increase incentives
Let’s face it, at the moment there’s no real carrot to tempt small firms to make the move into exports. A new tax relief of 10% on export activity, based upon the value of sales made to export markets, could be just the incentive they need.
In the same vein as Research & Development relief for corporation tax, relief for export activity would aim to reduce an eligible entrepreneur’s tax bill, or provide an export activity tax credit by way of a cash sum paid by HMRC. In other words, the bigger an entrepreneur’s international sales as a proportion of the total, the less tax they will pay, creating the focus required to ensure sustainable success in exporting.
3. Get small businesses on the plane
More than three-quarters of companies that don’t export feel their business is UK-focused. Sometimes that is the case, but for others the question isn’t product, it’s appetite. Case studies of other successful businesses reaping the cash rewards of exporting may help galvanise others that don’t realise they’re missing out.
Under the coalition government there has been a greater emphasis on exports to a wider international market base. Regular trade missions hit countries across the world and, minister or cabinet-led, have been important in getting businesses exposure to foreign markets. But we still need to get more small businesses involved. Show a business what market opportunities there are and they’ll get out there and start making contacts.
4. Cut red tape
It’s boring, but it can’t be ignored. One of our members faces a nine month wait for a gin license to be granted. Another cites the Account Consignor Scheme. It’s a perfectly justified air cargo safety regulation, designed to ensure no bombs find their way into freight, but one which imposed a whole heap of additional requirements on the business, with no recognition of the costs involved. Regulation must be proportionate.
5. Unleash the marketers
Whitehall has been undergoing a much publicised marketing freeze to help balance the nation’s books. All campaigns now need central sign off for the government to dig into their coffers. However, there’s no point designing and implementing forms of support if no one knows about them. There are concerns that one recent scheme was scrapped because of low take up - not surprising given the lack of marketing to promote it.
So get the Whitehall wallet out and start advertising – not just the services but those that provide them, from UKTI down. This should also involve reviewing the routes to reaching small businesses, which at present don’t seem to be working as well as they should.
Phil Orford is chief executive of the Forum of Private Business, a group representing small businesses across the UK.

Checking is a critical skill in the game of hockey that when performed properly can create quality scoring opportunities or help a team regain control of the puck. Just like skating, puck control, passing and shooting there are key progressions to the skill of checking when taught effectively, can greatly enhance a player's enjoyment of the great game of hockey.
A common misconception is that the skill of checking begins at a certain age or age category of play. In fact, checking is a 4-step
progression that begins the first time a young player steps on the ice. Body checking is the fourth and final step of a 4-step teaching progression.
The transition from non-contact to contact hockey can be uncomfortable for young players but if coaches are able to effectively put the building blocks in place, players will be able to make a smoother transition.
The most essential skill in hockey, which is the prerequisite to most others, is skating. The ability to skate efficiently and effectively allows a player to begin to effectively develop all other skills involved with the game of hockey. Players will be unable to grasp and execute skills such as positioning and angling if they are unable to skate comfortably and control the edges of their skates with ease. It is vital for a coach to ensure that the foundation of all other skills, skating, is mastered before moving on to
more advanced skills. The skill of checking is most easily taught and understood by following the National Coach Certification Program (NCCP) 4-step progression model. A diagram of this model can be seen below. The NCCP checking model is based on the principle that checking should be taught in four logical steps. Each step builds upon the previous step and brings the hockey player that much closer to being able to give and receive body checks competently and confidently.
NCCP CHECKING PROGRESSION MODEL
4. BODY CHECKING
3. CONTACT CONFIDENCE AND BODY CONTACT
2. STICK CHECKS
1. POSITIONING AND ANGLING

Along with some great writing and brilliant direction, a film becomes a total winner only when its actors deliver an earnest performance that strikes a chord with the audience. 2018 has been a bag full of surprises where you had some of the male actors bringing their best to the table and making our film-watching experience even more memorable.
As we begin the countdown of bidding goodbbye to 2018, we have compiled a list of actors who left an indelible impression on our mind with their power-packed performances.
Ranveer Singh stepped out of his comfort zone to play one of the most challenging roles of his career in Padmaavat. He shone like a bright diamond and owned the film.
Shahid Kapoor managed to pull off the role of Mewar Ratan Singh with subtlety in Padmaavat and stood strong in front of Ranveer's Khilji in his own way.
Give Ranbir Kapoor any role and that man will deeply sink his teeth into it and emerge victorious. With his sharp acting prowess, the actor effectively molded into Sanjay Dutt on reel in Rajkumar Hirani's Sanju and gave us plenty of reasons to cheer.
With Stree, Rajkummar Rao proved yet again why he's one of the best talents in the industry we have right now. The actor left everyone bewitched with his impeccable comic timing and finally made his way to the 100 crore-club with this horror comedy.
2018 has been Ayushmann Khurrana's year. With two back to back bonafide blockbusters- AndhaDhun and Badhaai Ho, the actor gave a stiff competition to the big names in the industry. Some more of this man, please!
The 'Khiladi' of Bollywood who is known for his dripping 'machoism' decided to go hatke and entertained the audience with the social entertainer PadMan which was followed by yet another strong performance in Gold.
Shahrukh Khan took up the challenge of playing a vertically-challenged Bauua Singh in Zero and passed with flying colors. While the film opened to mixed reviews, SRK's act stood tall with his perfect stroke of emotions.
Varun who often found himself on the radar of critics for his OTT, loud acts dropped a pleasant surprise in October and showcased his never-seen before side.

Philippine casino mogul Enrique Razon is pushing ahead with plans to build a 20 billion peso ($418 million) resort in Manila, undeterred by President Rodrigo Duterte’s crackdown on gambling.
The chairman and founder of Bloomberry Resorts Corp. said construction of the company’s second casino, in Quezon City in the northern part of Manila, may start in the middle of next year and could be finished in 2019. Duterte’s campaign is focused on electronic gaming parlors that have been loosely regulated and could help companies like Bloomberry, Razon said in an interview in Manila on Friday.
“I think cracking down on this, looking at it from our perspective, helps the licensed casinos,” Razon said. Bloomberry’s Solaire Resort and Casino on Manila Bay is operating at “full capacity” and there has been an increase in visitors from China since Duterte was elected in May as the new president seeks to improve relations between the two countries, he said.
Manila is aspiring to become the next Asian casino hub as high-stakes Chinese gamblers increasingly abandon Macau amid their government’s crackdown on corruption. Chinese and South Koreans are the two biggest groups of foreign visitors at Solaire, and Duterte’s plans to upgrade the airport and open a new toll road to the area where Solaire is should be good for business, the billionaire said.
“Razon is making a bet that President Duterte will deliver on his promises on infrastructure,” said Jonathan Ravelas, chief market strategist at BDO Unibank Inc. in Manila. “Tourism has far more to go if only we have the right infrastructure.”
Tourist arrivals rose 14 percent to 2.98 million in the first six months of 2016 from a year earlier, with South Korea, U.S. and China the three largest sources, government data show.
Bloomberry’s gross gaming revenues climbed 17 percent in the first half to a record from a year earlier, while net income swung to a profit from a loss. The company’s share price surged 52 percent this year through July 11 before declining 23 percent as Philippine stocks retreated amid high valuations and a broader emerging-market selloff.
Total gaming revenue in the nation rose 24 percent in the first half of 2016 from a year earlier, according to data from the industry regulator.
Razon is opting to expand domestically after dropping a bid for a gaming license in Cyprus and as he pulls out of a casino investment in South Korea. Local volumes have grown “quite strongly” and this trend should continue due to the attractiveness of the local economy and rising tourist numbers, he said. Quezon City has the biggest population of the 17 jurisdictions that make up metro Manila.
“This expansion will give Razon two properties that he can position for specific markets,” said Rommel Rodrigo, a gaming analyst at Maybank ATR Kim Eng in Manila. “Solaire will probably focus on foreigners and higher-end individuals, while this expansion could be more for locals.”
The gambling tycoon, who has a net worth of $3 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, banned 18 Chinese gamblers from Solaire in June over their involvement in a $81 million cyber-heist from Bangladesh’s central bank. The audacious theft put the spotlight on the Southeast Asian nation after it was revealed the money had been routed through a Philippines’ bank and then to local casinos.
Duterte, who took office June 30, has vowed to “destroy” online gambling. The campaign has already harmed Roberto Ongpin and his company PhilWeb Corp., a gaming technology provider that saw its shares plummet after it lost a contract to supply the industry regulator and Duterte said Ongpin was among businessmen that have an undue influence on the government.
Razon’s planned resort will also include shops, a convention center and a hotel. He joins other investors building new casinos in the Philippines, including Universal Entertainment Corp. Chairman Kazuo Okada, who will open a resort in Manila in November, and Andrew Tan and Lim Kok Thay, Philippine and Malaysian billionaires, who are also building a casino in the city.

Naughty Dog has announced that there will be more games from the Uncharted series.
The firm's creative director Amy Henning said that upcoming sequel Among Thieves does not conclude the story, which will become a "franchise".
"Our expectation with Uncharted is that it can be an ongoing franchise as long as people want more of it," she told PlayStation Blog.
"All these stories are self-contained enough. You don't need to play the last one to play this one, but obviously you can get a bit more out of it if you have. [Drake's] going to have lots of adventures, thank God."
Naughty Dog previously worked on Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter. Each spawned a trilogy of games.
Meanwhile, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves has been pushed forward to October 16 in Europe.

Great for games like GTA 5 that are VRAM hogs. Since it's pre-overclocked it is a bit loud though.
Great card. Have had no problems with it so far (2 Years) other than it can get a little noisy in a dead silent room when playing a heavy game, (I'd imagine just about any card is though) but when you're in the middle of a game the sound non-existent because ~ focus + 5.2 surround sound = :)
