Dion Waiters exploded onto the Miami sports scene on Monday night after hitting a game-winning 3-point shot to help the Heat beat the star-studded Golden State Warriors 105-102. Waiters instantly became a folk hero to a fan base that is looking for hope amidst a 15-30 start to the season.
As the Miami Heat's official Twitter account, and many fans, change their Twitter avatar to a posing Waiters, let's look at five facts you may not know about Dion Waiters:
1. He didn't play high school basketball in his freshman year
Though Waiters grew up playing the game, he didn't play for his school in his freshman year. He attended both Bartram High School and South Philadelphia High School that year before moving to South Kent School in his sophomore year and, later, Life Center Academy for his junior and senior years. His season without high school basketball didn't seem to hurt him in the long run, as he was still a highly touted recruit.
2. He never started a game in college
Waiters attended Syracuse and appeared in 71 games, but he never got an opportunity to start. Despite coming off the bench, he averaged 20.2 minutes a game and was a prominent part of the Orange's offense. He was selected fourth overall in the 2012 draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
3. He was selected ahead of several notable names in the draft
Being selected fourth overall, it's to be expected that some notable players were chosen after Waiters, but in his case, the list includes several all-star caliber players. Damian Lillard was picked two spots behind Waiters at No. 6, Harrison Barnes was picked seventh overall and Andre Drummond was picked ninth. That trio alone makes for an impressive list, and it doesn't even include Draymond Green, who was selected 35th, and Khris Middleton, who went 39th.
4. He made the NBA's All-Rookie Team
Waiters' career started on an optimistic note. As a rookie in Cleveland, Waiters averaged 14.7 points and 3.0 assists per game in 28.8 minutes. His play earned him the honor of being named to the 2012-13 All-Rookie Team, alongside Anthony Davis, Bradley Beal, Barnes and Lillard.
5. He was a piece in the trade that landed J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert in Cleveland
On Jan. 5, 2015, the Cavaliers, Knicks and Thunder agreed to a three-team trade in which New York sent Smith and Shumpert to Cleveland and Waiters was moved to the Thunder, essentially for a 2016 first-round pick. Since the trade, Smith and Shumpert have played prominent roles on a title-winning team, while Waiters played a role on the Oklahoma City team that nearly beat a 73-win Warriors team in the Western Conference Finals.

It is the age old question that continues to linger on in light of two high profile cases in the Premier League this season that have not only gripped the whole nation, but have also had a ripple effect on world football too.
Racism has reared its ugly head in sport again, and not for the first time, football is at the centre of it once more. Undoubtedly the dominant story at the moment has been the John Terry and Anton Ferdinand affair which came into the spotlight in late October following Chelsea's 1-0 defeat to Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road. Now the critical question is, if one player calls another a "black c***," like England and Chelsea captain Terry allegedly did to Ferdinand, is that racist? Is he insulting Ferdinand for the colour of his skin, or is he simply insulting him and adding skin colour as an adjective? Equally, is it racist if a black player calls a white opponent a "white c***?"
It sounds silly yes, but it is an important distinction to make. It is not the same as if a player calls another a 'n*****,' which is clearly a racist insult. Therefore, in my eyes, the priority is to decide whether calling someone black is racist. The whole case should not be taken lightly ofcourse, far from it. But one would have thought that the whole matter would have, to an extent, been dealt with by now had the Football Association been more vigorous in their attempts to stamp out racism in English football.
That ofcourse is not to say that once this whole affair has been 'dealt' with that cases of this like will not reappear and be brought to light again in the English game, or anywhere else for that matter. Taking into account the various cases where fans have abused players during matches, this is obviously still a serious issue in some parts of the globe. The real concern now, however, is investigating whether there is racism on the field of play. In light of what has happened in England recently and in other nations such as Spain and Portugal, where players have allegedly abused each other, football authorities must step up and take action. What has been most surprising though is the level at which all this is happening. The premier division in the country, broadcast to billions world-wide and it is in this sense that not only does it affect the whole country, but concerns the rest of the football world too.
It was interesting to hear the thoughts of The Mirror sports writer, Darren Lewis, and Piara Powar, the Executive Director of Football Against Racism in Europe. Both were guests on the World Sport edition on CNN recently and aired their views on the matter. Both were in agreement that "plenty more work still needs to be done in tackling racism in football in Europe in moving forward, and a zero tolerance approach be taken by the respective FA's in European leagues," said Powar. "Stiffer punishments such as heavier fines and lenghty bans should be administered to those found in the wrong," Lewis added. Once the definition of racism is attained, football authorities then need to decide on a penalty. And in this case, the common feeling is that it needs to be a heavy one. Would a 10-match ban along with a fine of two months' salary be excessive? Maybe that is one for the pertinent people to decide.
Another example of why it is important to make a distinction concerning an incident of alleged racist abuse also came in October's Premier League match between Manchester United and Liverpool. Senegal-born France international Patrice Evra accused Uruguay forward Luis Suarez of such abuse when he was called 'black' various times during the contest at Anfield. It is yet another high-profile case that, perhaps has not grabbed all the headlines compared to the Terry/Ferdinand case but, equally needs to be addressed pertinently.
It speaks volumes that in 2011 the old age issue of racism has cropped up yet again, or have we football lovers merely been naive as to sweep it all under the carpet when we knew all along the stigma has been there, but chose not to do anything about it? It is also worth pointing out that not only has this issue been restricted to events on the pitch. The role social media plays in our respective lives nowadays cannot be understated and has arguably taken the lead in modern day communication, both directly and indirectly. With the majority of the Premier League's stars taking to Facebook and Twitter to broadcast their views and thoughts to the rest of the public, it was only a matter of time before cases of racism were also brought to light in that domain. Sunderland striker Frazier Campbell, Manchester City defender Micah Richards and Newcastle United's Sammi Ameobi have all suffered similar incidents of racist remarks recently on Twitter and are an example of some of the cases to name but a few.
At the time of writing this piece, the Terry case was still being investigated, but the London Metropolitan Police had concluded their investigations and handed the case over to the Crown Prosecution Service to decide whether Terry had a case to answer. In addition, however, shouldn't football organizations be the ones to set the example and deal with cases of this nature? Ultimately it all comes down to how each individual associated within the game, and all sports in general, responds to an event linked to racism for the outcome to be where the majority of fans want it to be.
In the last few decades England has led the way in European football and been at the forefront of kicking out racism in the sport. In light of recent events, however, it is hard to say that racism will one day be forever stamped out in the game. Why? Because football is a reflection of society and, unfortunately, racism is present in many societies around the world. Unless football's governing bodies take a stand and take the lead on this matter to eradicate it, then sadly the subtleness nature of the status quo will forever be the same and football, as we know it, will remain socially stagnant at every level for years to come.

The day I turned nineteen, I expected to gain what little freedom I could within the restrictions of my bank account and the hallucinations that had haunted me for the last six years. I expected to drive away from a life that had been dictated by the tragedy of others and shaped by the care of strangers. I expected to be alone.
Actually, I relished the idea of being alone.
Instead, I found fear I thought I'd overcome. Uncertainty I thought I'd painstakingly planned away. And terror that was more real than anything I'd ever hallucinated before.
I'd seen terrible, fantastical, and utterly impossible things … but not love. Not until I saw him.

British Council at the BFI London Film Festival 2013
Rob Brown's Sixteen competing for the LFF First Feature Competition
October 2013
All eyes are on London's cinemas this week as the BFI London Film Festival gets underway - and British Council's Film Team is delighted to be in the thick of it.
This year's LFF programme includes a giant selection of British films – over 60 shorts and features – continuing the bumper year we've been enjoying on the international stage with UK films filling the premier festival slots from Venice to Toronto.
Sandwiched between screenings, we'll be welcoming many of those UK filmmakers to a special festival tea with a very celebratory tone, in which they'll be introduced to a group of international curators and programmers who are visiting London for the Festival to scout for new films.
We're also adding our support to the Festival in a new way this year by helping selected visiting international filmmakers to attend. We've prioritised filmmakers from those countries where British Council is focussing arts programmes in the coming few years, and particularly where we're working to make links between the UK film communities and those in each country, including South Africa, Russia, Nigeria, Indonesia and Brazil. The result is our support for nominated international filmmakers attending the BFI London Film Festival Awards: Of Good Report, with director Jahmil X.T. Qubeka and cast in attendance, nominated in Official Competition; B For Boy nominated in the Sutherland category with director Chika Anadu in attendance; and Pipeline, nominated in the Grierson category with Vitaly Mansky in attendance. Also with their films screening in the Festival Out of Competition, director Yusup Razykov will join us from Russia to present Shame; Marcelo Lordello will travel from Brazil to present They'll Come Back; and Riri Riza, director of Atambua 39°Celsius will join us from Indonesia.
Colleagues in British Council international offices have also contributed funds to bring a small number of additional guest delegates from the international festival circuit. We'll be joined by programme teams from two festivals in South Africa, Encounters Documentary Festival and Durban International Film Festival, from Rotterdam's International Film Festival, from SANFIC in Chile, BAFICI in Argentina, and by a nominated reviewer from Odessa Film Festival, Ukraine.
Alongside our guests in London this week will be a delegation drawn from across the Russian film industry - a return visit following our own UK film industry delegation to Moscow earlier this year. The 9-strong group joining us this week includes film exhibitors, film and TV producers, as well as specialists in animation, script development and documentary, who will take part in a packed programme alongside the Festival itself which will see them meeting teams from BBC Films, NFTS, Working Title, BFI and Sheffield Doc/Festival among others.
We're staging our own event too – 'Understanding Kickstarter' - in partnership with the LFF and BAFTA where we'll be joined by Elisabeth Holm, Kickstarter's Film Program Director, alongside members of the production teams behind LFF features Sixteen, Leave to Remain, and The Punk Singer, to explore the possibilities, pros and cons of Kickstarter, explain how to get the best from your campaign, and to discuss how some of the films on-screen in London this week are here as a direct result of the crowd. (Read our latest BLOG post Call on the Crowd for more on Kickstarter).
Members of the British Council Film team will also be put to work throughout both the Festival's Industry and Education programmes – Will Massa leads 'Building a Strategy for the International Film Festival Circuit', one-to-one surgeries for Festival industry delegates, while Rachel Robey offers an Education event exploring Festival Strategies.
With all that lined up we're looking forward to a packed 10 days! Have a look at the complete BFI London Film Festival 2013 line-up here - and look forward to seeing you in the dark...

By April Overall
The Gulf and Estuary of the St. Lawrence is a hot spot for an array of marine mammals – from whales to seals. In 1985, a group of ten naturalists, researchers and volunteers set sail on an adventure that has lasted over 25 years. They founded GREMM, an organization dedicated to scientific research and education on the St. Lawrence's marine mammals.
Since its inception, GREMM has worked diligently to help marine mammals at risk and has partnered with governmental departments and other non-profits to support the Quebec Marine Mammal Emergency Response Network. Last year, the 24 hour call centre received 447 calls from people who've spotted a marine mammal in trouble. On average, 60 per cent of the calls are about seals while the remaining 40 per cent are for whales.
The Canadian Wildlife Federation has offered GREMM $37,000 to create posters which will be plastered all over Quebec, from Montreal all the way to Blanc-Sablon, including the Magadlene Islands and the Gaspesie region. The hope? More calls. More calls to the network means more marine mammals can be saved. So if you live in the region or are thinking of visiting this summer, keep your eyes peeled and call 1.877.722.5346 if you see anything fishy.
What type of thing should you call in about? We asked Véronik de la Chenelière , the GREMM's Call Centre Manager, for some insight:
Q: Why is the call centre so important?
A: Marine mammals are charismatic animals, ambassadors of a unique and rich environment. When people call us about a seal or a whale, dead or in distress, it is a unique opportunity to inform them about those animals, their needs, their world, and what we can do to help them. And our work is similar to a detective's work: we need to ask the right questions in order to gather a maximum of information and get a good idea of the situation, in order to take the right decisions afterwards.
For some fragile species, helping just one animal can make a difference for the recovery of the whole population. For other, more abundant species, helping individual animals can be a great way to develop greater skills helping marine mammals and extraordinary opportunities to bring their fate into the public eye.
Q: What does the call centre do when they receive a call about a marine mammal stuck in fishing gear?
A: It is our top priority. Teams with equipment and training are sent to free the whale and recover the fishing gear. They are Fishery Officers from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, or whale researchers. Depending on the species and the situation, the team can act on the spot, or gather more information in order to consult specialists before anything is attempted. It can be very dangerous. If the fisherman is present, it is a plus, because he can tell us more about the fishing gear and help free the animal.
Q: What about when a marine mammal is stranded?
A: If it is a seal, the situation is likely normal and our job is simply to reassure the caller and indicate how to behave appropriately around the animal- stay away, keep your dog on a leash and of course never attempt to touch, feed or "save" the animal in anyway. Sometimes, in high-traffic areas, we will put up posters with this information. It helps ensure good behaviour by everybody. In some cases, if it is impossible to ensure public and/or the animal's safety, a team will be sent to capture and relocate the animal.
If it is a cetacean, the situation is different: a stranded dolphin or whale is in a life-threatening situation. It is in certain circumstances possible to take the animal back to the water, but the operation needs to be done by trained people; to make sure it is done safely for citizens and for the animal. Sometimes, if a whale is stranded, it is because it is already sick, and nothing can be done to save it. Nature should take its course, or it might be advisable to help the animal die peacefully.
Q: Considering that whales and seals are great swimmers and can swim a good distance, how do you deal with marine mammals that have been found far from its usual habitat?
A: Those situations are interesting and we try to document them in as much details as possible. Sometimes, those animals can become in distress: a seal that stays too long in fresh water can become sick, a lone beluga can seek human contact and become at risk for boat collisions, a pelagic species in shallow waters can become stranded, and a whale in an urbanized environment is at an increased risk for boat injuries, entrapment in human structures or stranding. Close monitoring of the situation and public awareness are important for us to decide what actions to take in the given situation.
Q: I know ship strikes are becoming a big problem for marine mammals. What do you do when you receive a call reporting a marine mammal has been hit by a ship?
A: Ship strikes can injure or even kill a whale. The best option is to work on prevention. When a ship strike is reported, we try to document the case (we take pictures, relocate the animal to assess injuries, etc.). If a dead whale washes on shore, we always look for signs of human interactions (ship-strikes, entanglement in fishing gear, etc.). We need more information to help devise the best ways to reduce the occurrence of those accidents in the St. Lawrence.
Q: So when the worst has happened and a caller sees a drifting carcass, why is it important for them to call the centre?
A: Depending on the species, efforts can be made to send a team and take samples or even tow the animal to shore to do a full necropsy. And we try to gather a maximum of information: What type of mammal is it? Where is it? Were pictures taken? In other cases, we will simply report it to the Coast Guard as a navigational hazard; a dead whale can be a big problem for small pleasure crafts.

The folks at Research In Motion (RIM) are having one heck of a time keeping their upcoming Blackberry models under wraps. First, the company had to deal with a leaked CDMA roadmap detailing upcoming phones and their release schedules. Earlier this week, someone was caught posting video of Monaco, a codename for what many people believe will be the BlackBerry Storm 3. Now we have the first live pictures of a BlackeBerry Bold Touch Dakota/Montana.
Some specs of the Bold Touch Montana were previously leaked:
- Qualcomm 1.2 GHz CPU
- 2.8-inch VGA 640×480 capacitive screen
- Magnetometer
- Accelerometer
- Proximity sensor
- 5MP camera with flash and HD recording (720p)
- 8GB storage, 768MB of RAM
- Carbon fiber on the battery door
- Wi-Fi
- Mobile Hotspot
Looking back at the leaked 2011 CDMA roadmap, it looks like we can expect the CDMA version of the BlackBerry Bold Touch in August of this year. At least we now have a live picture of what it will look like. Previous images had been only computer renderings.
Read more at N4BB.com
Brian's Opinion
BlackBerry needs to circle the wagons on the rash of leaks the company has seen over the last few weeks. It is losing a competitive advantage if rivals know what phones along with what features will be available well in advance of the actual release.
If anyone who works at RIM is aware of an internal witch hunt as a result of all these leaks please let us know. After all, it seems like RIM employees or those affiliated with the company are all too happy to talk.

Pakistani court rejects Musharraf's petition against trial
Justice Riaz Ahmad Khan of the Islamabad High Court dismissed three pleas filed by Musharraf's lawyers against the constitution of the special court and the appointment of three judges and a state prosecutor to conduct his trial.
The special court has summoned the 70-year-old former army chief to appear before it on Tuesday to face a charge of high treason for imposing emergency in 2007. This is the first time in Pakistan's history that a former military dictator is facing trial for treason.
If convicted, Musharraf could face life imprisonment or the death penalty
If convicted, Musharraf could face life imprisonment or the death penalty. Musharraf had said in a petition that he promulgated emergency as the army chief and could only be tried by a military court. He also objected to prosecutor Akram Sheikh, who has links with right wing parties and is known for his intense hatred of the former military ruler.
The judge rejected all these objections, clearing the way for Musharraf's first appearance in the special court tomorrow. Earlier in the day, the Sindh High Court rejected Musharraf's petition for lifting a foreign travel ban on him. The court said the matter did not fall under its jurisdiction and refused to remove his name from the Interior Ministry's Exit Control List.
The court advised Musharraf's counsel to refer the matter to the government. The government barred Musharraf from leaving Pakistan after he was arrested in four major cases, including one over the assassination of former premier Benazir Bhutto in 2007.
He has been granted bail in the four cases but his name continues to be in the Exit Control List. Musharraf came to power in 1999 by toppling a government led by current Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and ruled till 2008, when he resigned after being threatened with impeachment. He lived in self-exile for about five years and returned to Pakistan in March but was hauled to court in different cases.

It kicked off with Sola Akingbolá (Jamiroquai percussionist). Okay, it did need something noisy to start off the evening and he did his very best to get the crowd going. Not quite my cup of tea however and considering how many artists were lined up for the evening, I feel that he was on stage for a long time. He made way for Muntu Valdo who sang, sadly, only a couple of songs… so poetic, so captivating… (there's a great biography of Muntu Valdo on MySpace as well as a few live clips). I was holding my breath… and I don't think I was the only one. And if you're not busy on 16 November, I urge you to make your way to the Barbican's London Jazz Festival Free stage at 18:00 as it looks like Muntu Valdo will be making an appearance. I'll be there!
Daara J Family literally bounced on stage and got the crowd singing, dancing and… bouncing! The Senegalese Hip Hop band really brought a smile to my face, they have so much energy and they're just such fun. I can't say that I'm into rap but that's the second time I've seen them now and they have a lot to say!
Amadou and Mariam were the last band to come on before the interval. I was so looking forward to them but I can't quite put my finger on it; it just didn't work for me. Quite tame. Damon Albarn joined Mariam for a song. Maybe it was the sound; I don't know… slightly disappointing anyway.
I had to leave then, due to personal reasons.
My feelings up to that point were mixed and from a few people I caught up with a few days after the show, I don't think I'm the only one thinking this. It seems that the show was thrown together a bit and may be the artists didn't have time to rehearse properly. Still… the line up was fantastic and we want more events like this!

Sweden's Success Is Down To Its Focus On People
Blog post • May 18, 2017 16:16 BST
Welcome to Sweden, one of the happiest countries in the world. A country consistently listed in the top ten in the World Happiness Report.
This mentality has been fundamental to Sweden becoming a bastion of entrepreneurship, with some of the hottest tech companies emerging, including Skype, Spotify and King (Candy Crush's parent company). If you delve into a number of typical Swedish companies, some key qualities recur that I believe we can all learn from.

Sellafield Ltd face substantial costs from maintaining facilities which quicker (and safer) innovative decommissioning can reduce.
Planned decommissioning activities carry a large risk to cost and schedule due to the uncertainty of future operations. By providing robust, tested solutions, the decommissioning risk can be reduced, providing savings against the baseline plan.
The Game Changers Innovation Programme is your chance to bring your innovative ideas and technologies to the UK's largest decommissioning cluster.
Game Changers could be technologies and methods which are already used in other industries and sectors (oil and gas, pharmaceutical, bio-engineering for example) which have the potential to be developed for use in the nuclear arena.
Working in collaboration with Sellafield Ltd., Game Changers have funding for proposals to support development of these technologies. We want proposals which clearly articulate the innovative technology development needed to meet Sellafield's decommissioning challenges.
The Game Changers Innovation Programme is open to anyone who can help make a tangible impact on decommissioning – from individuals, universities, SMEs to larger organisations; wherever they are located.
We appreciate that even at early concept stage, your ideas and time has a value; that's why you will receive a grant to articulate your idea with commercialisation support from FIS360 and access to NNL expertise, facilities and staff at Sellafield.
If your application is successful, additional Proof of Concept funding is available for further development through a nuclear technology innovation fund, also sponsored by Sellafield Ltd.
All intellectual property rights stay with the proposer: neither Sellafield Ltd. nor any of the Game Changers delivery partners have any IP rights over your ideas and a non-disclosure agreement is provided, pre-signed, up front to this effect.

ritish insurer Aviva Plc and Turkey's Sabanci Holding have mandated Citigroup and HSBC to sell between 20 and 25 percent of Turkish life and pensions joint venture Avivasa Emeklilik & Hayat Sigorta in an initial public offering, two sources told Reuters on Friday.
The share sale is not imminent as it is the subject of a feasibility study, one of the sources close to the matter said.
Aviva, Citi and HSBC declined to comment. Sabanci was not immediately available to comment.
Sabanci and Aviva may sell shares towards the end of 2014, Haluk Dincer, head of retail and insurance at Sabanci Holding, said on March 28.
Aviva is in the midst of a group wide restructuring led by Chief Executive Mark Wilson who joined the firm at the end of 2012 from Asian rival AIA, selling off non-core businesses, cutting costs and improving profitability.
The revamp has involved top level management changes and in October the group sold its U.S. business for $2.6 billion.

Welcome to the 2015 Summer Soccer Season,
We are half way through our summer season and we hope you are all enjoying this beautiful game. On behalf of The Executive Board and office staff, we'd like to share some answers to general questions we have received and rule changes for the 2015 season.
Andrew Shotton
President Dollard Soccer Club
We are half way through our summer season and we hope you are all enjoying this beautiful game. On behalf of The Executive Board and office staff, we'd like to share some answers to general questions we have received and rule changes for the 2015 season.
- Regular eye glasses are no
longer tolerated on the soccer field. When referees are introduced at the 8
year old (2007) age group, players will be asked to remove regular eye glasses
in order to play. The only acceptable solution is sports glasses. This is the
only solution that is safe for all players on the field. We were only informed
by the Quebec Soccer Federation in April. We asked to allow an exemption for
2015 for the House League players, but the reply we received from both the
lawyers and insurance company is that any injury involving regular glasses
would not be cover by our policy. We apologize for any inconveniences this may have
caused and be assured that we will be advising everyone during registration for
the 2016 season, that this is a requirement.
- Field Closures: We have had a very wet June and have lost
many evenings due to rain, and some evenings when it is nice out. Please rest
assured we are constantly working with the city to ensure the fields are only
closed when it is absolutely necessary, but the policies that are in place are
to ensure that Dollard Des Ormeaux maintain its fields as some of the best in
Quebec. The policies for field closure is as follows:
- On weeknights, the city will update the message on the weather line: 514-684-1012 ext 345 at 4:00 p.m. and again after 11:00 p.m. if required.
- On weekends, the city will update the message at 8:15 a.m., 4:00 p.m. & 11:00 p.m. if required.
- The Voice Message system only allows open / close messages so they cannot be identified with a date or time.
- Sometimes it rains for 12 hours straight and stops at 3:00 p.m. and the city will keep the fields closed for the evening. This is because the accumulation of water on the field is too much and playing on it will still damage the field and can cause injuries.
- Please don't contact the soccer office for field closure inquires.
DSC selected our Technical Director (TD) back in November. Sebastien Roussel arrived from France, June 9th and has been working very hard visiting all the different summer programs that are currently in place, working with the board, coaches & his technical staff. Starting on July 6th he will be at the DSC Summer Camp daily. He is also already planning our fall and winter soccer programs. Welcome Sebastien!! To contact our Technical Director, please email him at email@example.com if you have question or concerns.
DSC was approach by one of the clubs' former players to start a soccer program for mentally and physically challenged children and with her guidance the "My Left Foot" program was created. They play on Friday nights at Fairview Park. It has been a huge success with 13 players register for the first season, so if you have any questions about the program, you can contact Yi Wen at email@example.com.
Our hope is to continue the program in the fall / winter.
This year, the DSC is supporting Jared, a young player in our club that has DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma) which is an inoperable brain tumor. (https://www.facebook.com/DIPGquest) Our spring festival raised just over $3000, and the intercity teams and coaches' shirt this year bear a gold ribbon on them that symbolizes childhood cancer awareness.
DSC has setup additional technical session this summer for the U6 to U10 age group, to help develop the player skills and coach the coaches. The dates & times for these sessions were on the full schedule and are purely optional, but there if your children really want to improve their skills. We will also have Fall Soccer this year for these age groups to allow them to continue to play in the nice fall weather on the weekend.
DSC will be entering All-Star teams in the Lakeshore Soccerfest on August 15 & 16 from the U8 to U18 age levels, games will take place in Kirkland, Beaconsfield & Baie D'urfe. This activity allows the stronger players on the House League teams to play together for a weekend and allow the club to identify potential players that might be able to move up to the next level of competition within the club. For more information on this program please ask your child's coach or the VP or Director of your section.
DCS continues its commitment to the International Cup, Kids Playing for Kids www.ickpk.org soccer event that extends the summer soccer season into September for our House League players. We will be entering boys and girls teams in U10, U12, U14, U16 and U18. The team that has the best regular season record amongst all the DSC teams in these age groups will automatically be entered into this event, but if any other additional teams would like to enter as well, the club will support their entry fee into the event. If your child would like to participate in the event but their team has not entered, please address the VP or Director of your section and we will try to place your child on another team for this event, as they allow for some mixing of player rosters.
Our summer ending Micro and 7-a-side soccer festival is just around the corner so please ensure that you mark your calendar and keep Saturday August 22nd open. The festival schedule is included with your full summer schedule. At the event all teams will play 2 games and receive an award from the club, their photo package (if purchased), food and drinks and there will be some fun and games for the children to play on as well.
DSC has 30 youth competitive teams that go out each week and compete against the best players of other communities from all over the West Island. They also travel across Quebec and Ontario representing DSC in soccer tournaments. If you would like more information on this program please contact the firstname.lastname@example.com
DSC also has 1 Elite AAA F14 girls team that is competing against 13 other top teams in the province. We are very proud of all the hard work the girls and coaches put in each and every week, and wish them best of luck with the rest of their season.
Lastly I would like to thank all the volunteers in the club for putting in the hours each and every week, from the popsicle parents, the soccer taxi moms and dads, the managers, the coaches & assistants, office staff, technical staff, referees, directors & VP's. Without everyone's dedication soccer would not be possible for our 2500 players.

Chantal Acda – Pūwawau
Cultuurcentrum Mechelen
Acda is known for her ability to constantly reinvent both herself and her work using her voice as a reflective space. She is fascinated by the universal factors that bind and influence voices, like language, heritage and folksongs. As part of her residency at Intro she articulated the wish to produce a music theatre work for ensemble, chamber choir and solo singer, through which she could broaden her search for kinship and contact and bring it into context for an audience.
Acda's quest for connection culminates in Pūwawau. The name originates from Maori and means as much as: "Hearing spirit voices under the water, reflective and instinctive".
Pūwawau is the result of a research into the power of the voice as a means of connecting. The results of this research are put into words and set to music in a poetic way.
We live in a world filled with change and oftentimes lacking in direct contact and reflection. Acda looks to engage in this contact. She and the musicians don't perform on a traditional stage, but amidst the public. Everybody, without regard for heritage or language becomes a part of a collective experience.
At Terschelling (Beautiful island in the North of the Netherlands) the relationship to the public, the role of the environment and how different pieces could fit together were researched. Lighting, sound and scenography were developed outside in the beautiful nature of Terschelling. Last June try-outs for the performance were witnessed by close to 2000 visitors ot theatre festival Oerol at Terschelling.
The visitors that came witnessed our electro acoustic music theatre performance in which the poetic texts of Josse de Pauw, the decor by Laura de Jong flowed together with the beautiful musical arrangements made by Valgeir Sigurdsson and provided the audience with an intense and moving experience. 400 people signed up to be informed about the upcoming tour!
During October the performance will be finished at Intro in Maastricht. Rutger Muller (sound artist/composer, already a maker at Intro, will work on the sound processing. Final direction is in the capable hands of Josse de Pauw. Because of the great importance of the body, dramatist Peggy Olislaegers will also be on hand at this point of the development. The goal is to create an involving experience for the audience that – through the use of sounds and video – will transport them into an impressive scenography and makes them a part of the reflection. The outside world completely disappears for a moment and what we are left with is a space that is shared by everyone involved.

There's Nothing Sly About Bill O'Reilly
Here's the no-spin truth: Bill O'Reilly offers a fairer, more balanced version of the latest political headlines than MSNBC's nighttime ideologues.
Don't get me wrong. The Fox News commentator remains the most combustible on-air personality since Morton Downey Jr. and his ideological tilt on some topics, like limited government and coerced interrogation, would still raise eyebrows from an in-his-prime Walter Cronkite. But quietly, and with little fanfare, O'Reilly has been doing his best to not only offer both sides of key partisan debates, but also treat President Barack Obama with respect. He recently told a reporter that second-guessing the new president's stimulus package amounted to "cheap shotting" him. And he spent copious amounts of time on his syndicated radio show saying the media shouldn't print unconfirmed gossip about New York Senate hopeful Caroline Kennedy, and that reporters should treat her with respect.
Just don't expect many media critics to give the talk show titan credit for his efforts. They've already pigeonholed him as a right-wing hack, a blowhard who doesn't let his guests get in a word edgewise and is hopelessly biased -- like the network he calls home. Arguments can be made for some of the above, but media critics rarely hold MSNBC up to the same standards. And once the critics carve a narrative in stone, they rarely reverse themselves to reflect the new reality.
Journalists have no problem attaching the term "conservative" to O'Reilly's name in news articles, but reporters usually characterize MSNBC's hosts by calling them "left-leaning." Or, as the New York Times recently put it, the hosts have a "sharp, often sarcastic and pointedly liberal take on politics." Hardly matches the fire and brimstone approach Keith Olbermann brings to his MSNBC segments, does it?
Even Howard Kurtz, the Washington Post's media critic and a commentator not quick to throw the media bias flag, dubbed MSNBC "The Obama Network." But how long did it take for Kurtz to cry foul? Shouldn't he have done so months ago, maybe even years ago? Imagine the heat O'Reilly would take if he had embraced the campaign buzz words used by President John McCain? Yet that's precisely what MSNBC did recently during its inaugural gushfest for the new commander in chief.

A Post In Which I Use A LOT OF CAPS!
It was a rainy day today. The kind of rainy day that is so effing beautiful and glorious after a ridiculously humid, hot summer. The kind of rainy day that results in the heat and humidity lifting and bringing in a fantastic 70 degrees with it. After weeks of sweating my non-existent balls off, this cool, rainy day where I sat in my apartment with the windows and balcony doors open was VERY welcomed.
I had a meeting at Red Horse Café this morning. I put on my galoshes, grabbed my umbrella and headed out for the 12 block walk to the gallery. And I didn't complain one bit that the rain messed up my hair or that the edge of my pants were a little dirty from mud or that my purse got drizzled on—because it was cool. And that makes all the difference between me turning into a raving, ranting lunatic and a calm, collected adult.
So—I'm walking. In the rain. Some might even say I have a bounce to my step. And about half a block in front of me is a man walking his dog…a beautiful Huskie type of dog. It's morning…but it's not that early in the morning. Maybe 10:30 or 11am. And as I get closer, I see the man is bent over doing something in the passenger side of his car. And as I take even a few more steps closer, I notice that he's wearing those mesh sporty short things—you know the ones I'm talking about. A lot of jocks wear them….they look like basketball shorts. Only, as he's bent over, his ENTIRE ASS is sticking out.
Now, as a girl who wears a lot of low-rise jeans, I've had my share of experiences where I'm sitting and I don't realize that the top of my crack is showing. I think most people can empathize with that. But I have NEVER had my entire ass hanging out IN THE RAIN and not realized it. His butt literally has rain droplets covering it. HOW CAN HE NOT REALIZE HE IS FLASHING ALL OF PARK SLOPE RIGHT NOW?
So I'm staring. Because, to be honest, I'm not so good at NOT staring at things like this that catch my eye. And he looks over his shoulder at me while cleaning God knows what out of his car, and catches me staring.
And he starts to stand up. Silly me, I think that they probably just slipped down while he bent over and as he stands, CERTAINLY he'll pull them up, knowing now that I'm walking in his direction. But no. He stands up and makes no effort to adjust—and the simple act of standing doesn't help the situation either. If anything, the shorts slide down even MORE. And I'm so baffled by what I'm looking at that I notice my jaw hanging slightly open.
The stranger smiles and gives a little head nod toward me. "You like what you see?" He asks all cheeky…like he was the most dapper of dans within some high class lounge.
And I'm all: "Are you seriously hitting on me with your ASS hanging out in the rain?" He doesn't say anything at first and just as I'm about to walk away, his dog goes over to him and starts licking the water off of his butt.
Let me just say, I AM SO GLAD I STUCK AROUND THOSE EXTRA TWO SECONDS TO WITNESS THIS.
He nearly jumped out of his skin, like realizing for the first time that I wasn't just speaking in some sort of riddle. That his ass was actually hanging ENTIRELY out of his pants.
It may be the strangest thing I've ever seen…I still don't entirely understand what happened there.

Lil Wayne is asked his thoughts on the 'Black Lives Matter' movement and to much surprise, he doesn't know
what that is. In a recent interview in front of a national audience with Nightline the rapper stated the following,
"That just sounds weird, I don't know, that you put a name on it. It's not a name, it's not 'whatever, whatever,' it's somebody got shot by a policeman for a fucked up reason… I am a young black rich motherfucker. If that don't let you know that America understand black motherfuckers matter these days, I don't know what it is… I don't know what you mean, man, don't come at me with that dumb ass shit, ma'am. My life matter. Especially to my bitches."
"I don't feel connected to a damn thing that ain't got nothin' to do with me," he continued "If you do, you crazy as shit."
[Clip at 4:50]
This isn't the first time Wayne has spoke out about racism. In September, he mentioned never experiencing racism and not knowing if it actually exists. Then in October, he followed that statement by saying he doesn't know what racism is.
Seemed as though, Weezy was firm on his stance of obliviousness, until a video surfaced of him explaining why BLM at a concert.
Check this out,
What are you thoughts on this?
Are you confused about Lil Wayne's perspective or has he always had controversial views? Are we surprised that Lil Wayne isn't making much sense or do you feel he is speaking his truth? Could money and success void racism?

With enemies on all sides, it will take a strong foundation to build an empire that will not
only survive, but stand the test of time. Doing so will require diplomatic skill, a profitable
economy, a powerful military, research & development, and occasionally dealing with less
than reputable elements.
Faction DispositionEdit
The Relationship slider tells you how friendly you are with another faction at a glance. Many factors - shown in detail via an InfoCard - go into determining what other empires think of you, and this overall level will be the deciding factor on whether you'll make allies or enemies. Empires you have good relations with will be more likely to accept your invitations for treaties, pacts and joint attacks. On the flip side, those you have poor relations with are almost certainly guaranteed to ignore you and will actively seek your demise.
You can also see an overview of the relationships between the factions in the game using the Relationships screen, located to the right of the Diplomacy button on the main interface. By hovering over the portraits for each faction, you can see details on the factors that are affecting their relationships.
Increasing Faction DispositionEdit
- Donating resources to another faction
- Completing missions and offering missions
- Research
- Culture towers
- Trade
- Envoys
Decreasing Faction DispositionEdit
There are two primary actions that will cause your Faction Disposition to go down:
- Failing to complete a mission within the allotted time
- Opening fire on a ship, planet, or structure
- Main article: Missions
Sometimes other empires will seek your assistance in some matter, such as a request for
resources or to attack an enemy. When a mission comes in, you can choose to complete or
reject it within the time limit shown (note - you won't be able to reject the mission once the
countdown passes the halfway point). Failing to complete a mission or repeatedly rejecting
missions will hurt your standing with the empire making the offer, while accomplishing the
mission will raise your standing with them and possibly provide some other reward.
You may also offer missions to other factions once you've researched the appropriate
technology from the Diplomacy research tree. To issue a mission, select the faction you want
to work with and then click the Offer Mission button. Select the type of mission you wish to
offer, the target faction and the other required details via the Change Level button.
From time to time, you may want to persuade an enemy of your good intentions (whether
legitimate or not!) or send aid to an ally. Both can be accomplished by giving gifts of credits,
metal or crystal once the appropriate diplomatic technology is researched. Giving gifts will
endear you to the recipient and improve your relationship with them for a period of time.
Treaties are your primary political tool in Sins of a Solar Empire. Using them you
can shape the future of your people – for better or worse. The various types include:
Go to WarEdit
As the name suggests, by declaring war against another faction you are terminating all existing accords with them and giving your military units permission to open fire on their ships and structures. Earning back the trust of a faction you've declared war on may not always be possible and will definitely take time should you decide to sue for peace later.
Cease FireEdit
Cease fires are essentially states of non-aggressive neutrality with another empire. Neither side will fire on the other, but either may decide to do so with no explicit ramifications.
- Minimum Relationship required: 4.50
Peace TreatyEdit
Peace treaties are formal accords of friendship and alliance. To establish one, you must first have a cease fire agreement in place. As with cease fires, neither side may attack the other and to do so will require formally breaking the peace treaty – an act not viewed well by your partner. If you and your treaty partner are on very good terms, you may be able to coordinate assaults on enemies (using Pings or Missions). After breaking a peace treaty, neither nation will be able to attack the other for some time.
- Minimum Relationship required: 9.00
Trade AllianceEdit
There's an old saying that credits make the galaxy go around and trade alliances are key to that purpose. Empires in a trade alliance will consider each other's planets for optimal trade routes by their respective freighters. A side bonus of the trade alliance is a steady improvement in relations between the two empires. Trade ships are immune to enemy fire when a trade alliance is in place.
- Minimum Relationship required: 2.50
Ship VisionEdit
This is an intelligence treaty that will give each empire sensor information
from one another's ships.
- Minimum Relationship required: 8.00
Planet VisionEdit
This is another intelligence treaty, but instead of granting the sensor data from ships, it does so for planets. With a planet vision pact, each faction will have complete views of one another's territory.
- Minimum Relationship required: 9.50

Titles at the start of "99%" cite the almost 100 filmmakers who contributed to this informative, inspiring documentary. Such pluralism is a metaphor for its subject, as the variety of physical perspectives lends a vivid you-are-there aspect to this record of the Zuccotti Park protest in New York in 2011, which spawned similar demonstrations in Philadelphia; Los Angeles; Seattle; Oakland, Calif.; and around the world.
But "99%" is more than a snapshot of a gathering of idealists in Lower Manhattan. It outlines the issues that gave birth to a movement, including the burying of a generation in college-loan debt; the growing income gap between the wealthy and the impoverished; and the crushing demands of two-job-a-day subsistence employment on the working poor.
The Rolling Stone contributing editor Matt Taibbi is forceful and articulate on camera, as are Heidi Boghosian, director of the National Lawyers Guild, and Jacob Hacker, a political-science professor at Yale. But few are more powerful than Jason Washburn, a former Marine who served three tours in Iraq, and the retired Philadelphia police captain Ray Lewis, who submitted to arrest in New York. When such public servants feel betrayed by the society they signed on to protect, the system truly feels broken.
The clandestine "hacktivist" group Anonymous appears here, conveniently hidden behind its customary likeness of Guy Fawkes. But who in Occupy is the public face of tomorrow's leadership? Is there anyone in the wings hoping to speak for this constituency in Congress?
"99%: The Occupy Wall Street Collaborative Film" is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian) for expletives.

A talented young musician from Loughgall has won the NI Young Musician of the Year competition - playing a 126-year-old violin which had lain abandoned in his grandmother's attic for years.
Samuel Kane, a lower sixth pupil at Portadown College, impressed adjudicator Richard Yarr with his performance of the second movement of the Sibelius violin concerto in D minor.
The 17-year-old began learning the violin when he was in primary 6 of the Cope Primary School, under SELB tutor Dolores McConville.
And Dolores was in the audience in Belfast on Saturday night to see him take the top award.
Samuel's violin, which he received from parents Stephen and Jill as a surprise Christmas present, was made in Paris in 1891 by Jean Baptiste Collin-Mezin, a celebrated French violin maker.
But, in an amazing twist of fate, it had been lying in a family attic for 40 years, after being brought back from London by Samuel's great-uncle.
Dad Stephen, a farmer, said, "I remembered when I was wee there was a violin in the house but I could never get any music out of it.
"I thought it might have been a bit wrecked. When I found it I saw the date and name inside but thought it was probably a fake."
However, inquiries soon revealed its authenticity- and Samuel had the vintage violin he had always wanted.
His dad added, "He picked it up and he can make it sing. It is part of him now. This instrument had come through two world wars and made its way to my mum's roof space in Loughgall.
"People spend years scouring auction houses for the right violin. It's almost as if it has been waiting for him."
Samuel, who recently achieved a distinction in his grade 8, is lead violinist in the SELB orchestra, and also helps out at Bann House once a week with young students.
He has also won a place on the Ulster Youth Orchestra this year which includes a summer residential.
Speaking about his win, he said, "I am stunned! I was not expecting this at all!"
Samuel hopes to study at one of the London conservatoires after his A Levels.
The competition, now in its 25th year, was organised by the Rotary Club of Comber, and attracted entrants from schools across the province.

LIBRARY is delighted to welcome a nonfiction writer M.G.Robinson, on 25th of March, who will present her new book The Soul Of Notting Hill, in which she details the life and times of the 'very first rasta man of Notting Hill'.
The book describes his struggles, experiences and the move from Jamaica to England in the 1950's.
THE SOUL OF NOTTING HILL Sledge came from what would now be classified as a 'middle class' family his father worked hard and owned his own home in Kingston, Jamaica. Sledge however, decided to take a different road, he became a Rastafarian! Seen by the 1930's Colonial government as 'rogues' and described as 'natty head and dutty Rasta! To legitimize the brutalization of this new culture they were charged with Treason a crime punishable with imprisonment or death- many died. Mortimo Planno, took Sledge under his wing after Sledge had witnessed the slaying of his only brother Oscar on the streets of Kingston. He was soon headed for England by 1958 he had arrived with his Rastafarian faith and ideals right behind him - a total enigma to the local Bobby on the beat! Sledge is said to have championed an era now mourned as gone because the 1950's residents have seen the area become famous (especially after the young Lady Diana made it her home); then infamous sometimes simultaneously! The narcotics that nearly made it 'New Jack/Crack City, have died out to leave the artistic and vibrant true identity of a community that created the biggest Carnival in Europe! The film Notting Hill also made a big impact to our streets most of the places featured in this book have long since been gentrified with exclusive designer Stores and Wine Bars for the multi-millionaires who now covet house and land in our cosmopolitan neighbourhood. Sledge his life story captures time and in so many pictures that will take your breath away!

TD stresses importance of Limerick beef industry after horse burger scandal
DEPUTY Patrick O'Donovan has stressed the huge contribution of the beef industry to County Limerick's economy following the horse burger scandal.
Horse and pig meat were found in beef burgers in Tesco, Dunnes Stores, Lidl, Aldi and Iceland after the Food Safety Authority of Ireland conducted a probe into meats for sale.
Ten from a total of 27 burgers had traces of horse DNA.
Two leading Irish meat processing plants - Silvercrest in Monaghan and Liffey Meats in Cavan - are at the centre of the probe after the beef burgers they produced were found to contain other meats.
Ten million burgers suspected of containing some levels of horse meat are expected to be destroyed.
Meanwhile, ABP Food Group, who own Silvercrest Foods, have issued a statement saying "all Burger King products produced by us are stored separately and manufactured on an independent line". There are two Burger King outlets in Limerick.
"There is no evidence of any contamination of raw material used for the manufacture of any Burger King products," read the statement.
Minister for Agriculture, Simon Coveney said additives sourced from abroad and used to bind the meat were suspected to contain the horse DNA.
Mr O'Donovan has welcomed the manner in Minister Coveney moved to reassure people of the safety of Irish Beef.
"We have a safe food industry here in Ireland with the highest standards of traceability and food safety. The food industry as a whole makes a huge contribution to the national economy and the local economy of County Limerick, that is why the response from the Minister to this issue is proportionate and measured to reassure consumers of Irish food that it is among the most traceable and safest of any country in the world," said Mr O'Donovan.
"Irish food producers and processors go to great lengths every day to ensure that the food they produce is traceable and safe," he added.
Last night Minister Coveney announced preliminary laboratory results that indicate the presence of equine DNA in samples of burgers taken by the Department on Tuesday, January 15, from product manufactured in one plant (Silvercrest) in the period January 3 - 14. These products were already withdrawn by the company from the market.
Seven samples of raw ingredients were tested, one of which, sourced from another member state, tested positive. All ingredients in the production of burgers sourced from Irish suppliers tested negative for equine DNA.
Thirteen samples of finished burgers were tested for the presence of equine DNA. Nine have tested positive for traces of equine DNA and another four have tested negative.
The Department informed Silvercrest of these further laboratory test results on Thursday evening and the company has indicated its intention to temporarily suspend all production at the plant with immediate effect until it completes its investigation. It has confirmed that this week's production has not been released from the plant.
In conclusion, the Minister Coveney said that the investigation will continue to conclusively establish the source of the equine DNA. The focus of the investigation is now to establish a common ingredient used in the manufacture of burgers in all plants and from where it was sourced.

Denmark, 2010 (MIFF 2011, Documentaries)
Director: Janus Metz
"Moving, complex and brutal... an outstanding film about men at war." - Empire
In forward operating base Armadillo, a posting of young Danish soldiers are on campaign against the Taliban. Gaining incredible access, director Janus Metz chronicles six months of their everyday lives in Afghanistan, creating a confronting, uncompromised and close-up view of modern warfare.
Metz's film shows the knife edge of terror and tedium that these men live on - from some of the most terrifyingly visceral real life combat seen on film, to the downtime spent forging friendships and indulging in porn and video games.
A controversial box office hit in its native Denmark, Armadillo is an intensely intimate view of soldiers in Afghanistan - a telling look at the vast distance between the politics and the frontlines of a conflict.
Winner of the Critics' Week Grand Prix at Cannes 2010.

Recently I took a personality test, which asked me about 144 questions about myself and how I view or feel about different situations. Some of the questions were spot on, easy to answer, and I was sure of how I felt. Others made me think a lot more, and some made me a feel a little uncomfortable because my honest answer wasn't the answer that I hoped would reflect the real me. There was one question in particular that stood out to me in terms of who I am and who I hope to be. It had two statements to choose from and looked like this:
- I have preferred to inhabit my own little world.
- I have preferred to let the world know I am here.
This question really stuck with me. I am someone who has definitely inhabited my own little world! Of course I want to be recognized, accomplished and make my mark on the world, but I am also a mom of two boys under 4 years old, a grad student, volunteer, daughter, sister, friend; and sometimes just getting through the day and getting everything done is a "win" in my world. Although it is chaotic, it is also my comfort zone, and sometimes it takes just one experience outside of your comfort zone to open up a whole new perspective for you.
I was asked for a class to Google myself and see what came up. According to Google I pretty much didn't exist in the world. Of course, not everyone wants to be found online, but if I am going to show up at all, I want to be found for the things that matter to me, my contributions to others and that reflect my own voice, not just my Facebook profile. I am more than my day to day life, and I want express myself in a way that represents the bigger picture of who I am. So how do we stand out and make our voices heard in a way that represents ourselves authentically? First we need to identify our values and how we want to connect with others, and then express ourselves in a real way that adds value to your presence.
Representing yourself and finding achievement through self-expression can be inspiring, creative, and can help you find emotional energy and freedom in your work. Self-expression is being aware of your true self; what you value, care about, and what gives you energy and motivation. Once you define this in your life, you can control when and how to present it to the world in a way that represents you.
Here are three ways to start expressing yourself authentically:
- Do it for you: You don't need to impress anyone. Don't be afraid of how others might react to when and how you express yourself. You don't need anyone to validate or approve of you, especially when you are being authentic. Sometimes we take so long to create the perfect message in our minds that when we are ready to share it, the moment to do so has passed. Try and live in the moment and nurture your own voice. Don't base your value on the number of people who "like" what you have to say.
- Find your passions: What do you love to do? How do you want to help people? Maybe it is something you want to do but don't take the time to, or are afraid to do it because of where it might lead you. Experiment with different hobbies, sports and classes to find what outlet allows you to feel like you can be true to yourself.
- Let go of the outcome: We can't control how others are going to express themselves and it is not always going to be positive or supportive. Be truthful to yourself and let the real you shine through. People will appreciate your genuine thoughts whether they agree with you or not.
Everyone has something to say, and expressing yourself in person and online can allow you to have a real connection with people who appreciate you for more than what's on the surface. Having a presence online allows you to be found and attributed to the things that you care about. You are probably going to be found one way or another, so why not control that information yourself? You can be seen for the real you and the messages you want to send to people. Find your voice and an outlet to express yourself in a way that makes a difference in your life and in your community. Let the world know you are here!

Organisations have raised concern over the latest developments at the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) following the resignation of four of the broadcasters board members.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has confirmed and accepted the resignations.
Eyewitness News confirmed on Thursday that Mathatha Tsedu is the latest to jump ship.
The resignations follow revelations that the board is being investigated by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) over a dispute involving a contract for security services valued at more than R183 million.

According to reports, Khanyisile Kweyama, Krish Naidoo and John Matisonn decided to step down as the public broadcaster remains at loggerheads with newly-appointed Communications Minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams over retrenchments of permanent and freelance staff.
Right2Know spokesperson Dale McKinley says Ramaphosa failed to intervene.
It is a failure of the president to intervene. He has had plenty of time, it as been very clear for quite some time that this crisis has been gathering on a number of fronts and yet we have had silence. It is a lack of political leadership in our estimation and I think it is a crisis that is self-created.— Dale McKinley, Right2Know Spokesperson
National Co-coordinator at the SOS Coalition Duduetsang Makuse has described the latest developments at the SABC as a 'manufactured crisis'.
The minister could be engaging with staff and that is fine, that is her prerogative but she should be doing this through the committee because they are the rightful representatives of the public.— Duduetsang Makuse, National Co-coordinator at the SOS Coalition
McKinley says the board was set up to fail.
The board itself, we have to remember, had four resignations earlier this year. It was already without another four members and if you look at the basic things it was needing to do in terms of the financial crisis, the retrenchments, SIU investigation.... it needed some help.— Dale McKinley, Right2Know Spokesperson
In some ways it was like the board was set up to fail.— Dale McKinley, Right2Know Spokesperson
I think the blame really lies on the lack of political will and political leadership which really ultimately has the power and has been given the mandate to oversee the SABC.— Dale McKinley, Right2Know Spokesperson
