Sports sponsorships in India grow 19.33% to hit Rs6,400 crore in 20162 min read . Updated: 17 Mar 2017, 04:11 AM IST
The growth in sports sponsorships comes even as the overall advertising business grows at only 11.89%
The growth in sports sponsorships comes even as the overall advertising business grows at only 11.89%
New Delhi: In a year when the advertising business grew only 11.89%, sports sponsorship grew 19.33% in 2016 to touch Rs6,400 crore, highlighting the willingness of advertisers to spend big money on sporting events—in terms of sponsorships, endorsements by cricketers, and advertising during sports events and in their coverage across print, TV and digital media.
The findings are part of a report jointly published by GroupM ESP, the sports and entertainment arm of GroupM, a media buying agency that is part of WPP Inc., and SportzPower, a sports business news company. The report was released in Mumbai on Thursday.
Interestingly, while cricket still accounts for much of this, other sports are beginning to make their presence felt. The report did not give a break-up by sport, but based on the numbers provided, on-ground sponsorship of kabbadi matches (including the Pro Kabbadi League), brought in Rs122 crore in 2016, up from Rs48 crore the previous year. The Pro Kabbadi League also earned Rs62 crore in team sponsorship.
With revenues associated with football (and the Indian Soccer league) staying almost flat, kabbadi will soon be (if it already isn't), India's second must lucrative sport in terms of sponsorships. And across sports leagues, non-cricket ones saw their franchise revenue growing 4.97% from Rs201.2 crore to Rs211.2 crore.
"The biggest change we've seen is that emerging sports like kabaddi and hockey are generating revenues across the board, from on-ground sponsorships to endorsements. All non-cricket leagues today have four or five central sponsors and each team is able to generate three to four sponsors," said Vinit Karnik, business head, ESP Properties.
Indeed, the Indian Badminton League earned Rs8 crore from just team sponsorship. And team sponsorship of football teams (including those in the Indian Soccer league) stayed almost flat but still brought in just less than Rs100 crore.
Overall, ad expenditure on sports events grew 24.63% in 2016 to Rs3,510.8 crore according to the report titled Sporting Nation in the Making IV. Cricket accounted for much of this, with the popular Indian Premier League itself attracting Rs1,020.0 crore of advertising.
In 2016, on-ground sponsorship for sports events grew from Rs1,030.5 crore to Rs1,165.2 crore; team sponsorships across leagues and tournaments rose from Rs558.2 crore to Rs699.6 crore; franchise fees went from Rs541.3 crore to Rs548.0 crore and endorsements from Rs416.4 crore to Rs476.4 crore.
Kabaddi was easily the breakout story of 2016. The decision by Star India, Pro Kabaddi League's principal owner, to have two seasons in 2016 made it a money spinner. On the back of the two-season kabaddi league and India's hosting of the Kabaddi World Cup in Ahmedabad, on-ground sponsorship for the sport grew 154%.
The other big trend was the rise in endorsement deals. While cricket did the heavy lifting and saw commitments from 72 brands, non-cricket athletes secured 82 brand endorsements last year.
Rio Olympic medal winners P.V. Sindhu and Sakshi Malik contributed to the non-cricket endorsements deals growing 83.5% in 2016, from Rs42 crore to Rs77.1 crore. But Virat Kohli, captain of the Indian cricket team had the biggest part to play in the rise in cricket endorsement deals from Rs264.4 crore to Rs279.3 crore in 2016. Kohli ended 2016 with 20 brands under his belt and endorsement deals of Rs120.0 crore.

The following is a guest post from Wallace Lee, President of Safe Embarcadero for All. SEFA is a community nonprofit organized to voice concerns about public safety in the neighborhood and San Francisco's controversial proposal to construct a homeless shelter on the waterfront.
Many of us moved to this neighborhood because we consider it safe place to live. Indeed, safety may be a reason why ours is increasingly a neighborhood where San Franciscans choose to start a family.[1]
But the City's efforts to rush a 200-bed homeless Navigation Center onto The Embarcadero waterfront threatens to upend the success of this growing community. Moreover, the City's approval of the homeless center on an accelerated timeline behind closed doors—bypassing the normal procedures to gather and consider community input—is a blow to responsible civic government.
More than 10,000 people live within three blocks of the proposed project. These are the people who will be most affected by the waterfront homeless center. But their concerns have been ignored by City leaders who only care about seeking the most expedient solution to the difficult problem of homelessness.
There are undeniable and well-documented negative impacts of homeless shelters, including public alcohol and drug consumption, police interventions, property crime, personal assaults, and attracting additional homeless encampments. Yet the City has pretended that these problems do not exist with Navigation Centers. In promoting the waterfront homeless center, City officials told residents that they have nothing to fear because Navigation Centers abide by
"good neighbor policies."
Through public records requests, we recently received previously-undisclosed documents from the City that call into question the City's claims about Navigation Centers.
For example, an internal email from March 2019 shows that Homelessness Department Director Jeff Kositsky was, "getting a great deal of complaints about tents" cropping up around the Division Circle Navigation Center and admitted that "[the City] needs to do a better job of complying with our good neighbor policy." This was at the same time that Kositsky and others were touting the success of good neighbor policies.
The City has also disclosed hundreds of "Critical Incident Reports" generated by existing Navigation Centers in the last 6 months. They report deaths, drug overdoses, and other calls for emergency services.
If the rate of Critical Incident Reports from the 84-bed Bryant Navigation Center and the 126-bed Division Circle Navigation Center are extrapolated to the much-larger 200-bed Embarcadero Navigation Center, then we can expect it to generate 40 calls a month—or more than one emergency call a day! And that's only counting the calls generated insidethe center.
One frequent complaint heard in our neighborhood is that our first responders are already stretched thin. Yet the City has announced no plans to expand those services to accommodate the calls from the new homeless center.
City records have also revealed that residents are right to worry that the new homeless center will be a magnet for encampments and the problems they bring. Over just a two month period, recordsfrom other Navigation Centers detail incidents like:
- A former Dogpatch Navigation Center guest pitched a tent around the corner from the center and used the tent as a drug den for current guests of the center.
- A guest kicked out of the Bayshore Navigation Center set up camp with others next door. A fire from his tent caused damage to the neighboring small business. The business owner complained that his employees were threatened with weapons.
- The Homelessness Department directed that a camper set up behind the Bryant Navigation Center should not be removed because "she is very mentally ill."
- Debris was piled up next to the Bryant Navigation Center so that people could climb over the fence surrounding the center.
All this is not to deny that Navigation Centers provide a much-needed respite for their guests. However, the fact is that these centers are not the benign presence the City claims. Given the track record of problems associated with existing Navigation Centers, the City should have engaged with the community to find solutions that work for everyone. Instead, the City is railroading the largest-ever Navigation Center into one of the most densely-populated areas. It is a dangerous experiment.
In moving as quickly as it has, the City has circumvented multiple laws and regulations designed to protect the public. Among those are the public trust doctrine. San Francisco received the waterfront site in trust from the state in 1969. The public trust doctrine, with its roots in the California Constitution, holds that certain important resources (like waterfront property) are preserved in perpetuity for public use and enjoyment—for water-related purposes. If the City wants to make a non-trust use of public trust property—as the waterfront homeless center would be—the law imposes specific requirements which the City has not followed.
There is another equally important issue of public trust at stake: the public's trust in the City government. This public trust is based upon the belief that government and its representatives will follow the rules, comply with regulations, and be beholden to the same rules to which citizens are subject.
The City has broken both public trust governing the site for the waterfront homeless center and has broken the public's trust in the City as well. This leaves residents no other option than to head to court to hold the City accountable.

So far all we know about the iPad Mini is based on hearsay. Nothing officially confirmed though, after rumors emerged from many different sources, it seems that everyone assumes that Apple is already making the new iPad Mini and will be presented on the 17th of this month, that is, within a very few days.
Apple may have ordered 10 million units of the new iPad Mini
The Wall Street Journal says that Apple has already given the order to manufacture their Chinese partners and specifically talks about an order of 10 million units for the fourth fiscal quarter. This figure would be about twice the amount that you ordered your Amazon Kindle Fire.
If confirmed this rumor, would be an important sign of the hopes that Apple has on this product. The company expects to sell only so many tablets in a quarter and considering the proximity of Christmas and the success they have had all their products in recent years, it seems that the figure is very possible.
If we count the rumors, could be summarized in four points: a screen of 7.85 inches, an extremely thin design and a price to be around $ 300. On paper, some really interesting features that could make Apple further increase its market share in the segment of tablets.

De_dust is the map. Chk! Chk! Chk! The sounds of guns being bought from you and everyone around you. Buying an AK-47 with body armor and helmet combo. Buy the maximum amount of grenades and flash bangs. Buy all the primary and secondary ammo available. Then waiting until the countdown ends to begin the round. Go! Go! Go! One of the most common phrases you'll hear out of your speakers. I run up the stairs, turn left and then right past the boxes, and into the hallway. Throw a couple flash bangs through the first doorway and at the end of the hallways and run out guns ablazed to bombsite A. A couple of Counter-Terrorists are killed, but more Terrorists are gunned downed. Spraying and praying while running to cover. Covering other teammates to setup and plant the bomb and secure our way to victory. The bomb has been planted. Now, all the Counter-Terrorists run to our position to attempt to defuse the bomb. We are outnumbered, but holding the bomb position as best as we can. Ping! Ping! Ping! The bomb keeps ticking away as we are getting picked off one by one. Finally, all of the Terrorists at the bombsite are overwhelmed and we all die. The Counter-Terrorist go into defuse and the Terrorist's one and only hope is camping at spawn. Son of a b*tch! We just lost because some NOOB camped his ass off. Counter-Terrorists Win! Mother f*cker! You dumbsh*t! Stupid piece of crap! The insults are all hurled at the camper and does he/she stop camping? Nope, he/she just runs back to the same spot.
One of the MANY scenarios Counter-Strike has thrown at me. It was frustrating, yet the amount of fun taken in erased all those problems away. How can you just stop playing? All the hours you put into trying to practice burst firing or throwing the perfect grenade. I put months, MONTHS into this game. I know many others have spent more time on other games like *cough* *cough* World of Warcraft *cough* *cough*. But, Counter-Strike was one of the few games I actually tried to be good at. I'm not going to brag on how good I was, because I like to play the flanker. If you don't know what I mean, I like to wait usually (not camp, I don't sit around in one spot) until the number of people, teammates or enemies are busy shooting each other. Then I would like to see if I can sneak off around the map and flank the enemies. My strategy wasn't the best, because obviously the better players would be able to play in a variety of ways unlike I did.
Counter-Strike wasn't just some game. It was a mod of one of the most famous games of all time, Half-Life. I never really finished Half-Life (I know, pretty much a taboo, especially coming from someone "reviewing" games…). However, PC games weren't even in my focus when it came to video games. Not even Starcraft or Diablo ever were able to bring me into the PC age of games like Counter-Strike did. Yeah, that means I missed out on Quake and other famous PC games (except Doom). Those games didn't really mean much to me as I concentrated on console games mostly. But Counter-Strike made me into a PC gamer for some time. My consoles and the games just dusted for weeks after weeks, even months after months. All thanks to this game. The good thing is, I saved a lot of money from not buying any games, but the bad news is that I was missing out on a lot of games as well, PC or console.
Valve, the makers behind Half-Life, were smart enough to release the source code to their amazing game. Allowing many other talented programmers to change or make a game of their own based on Half-Life's game engine. Thus, Counter-Strike was born on June 19, 1999 when the first beta was released to the public. Valve was smart to team up with the developers of Counter-Strike to make it their own. Because Counter-Strike became (or still probably is) one of the greatest competition games ever played. Millions would play and millions more would watch competitive e-sports because of Counter-Strike. I've first encountered Counter-Strike during the 7.0/7.1 beta releases, but I really started to play during Version 1.0.
The game was nothing like any other game of its day. There were no sci-fi nonsense, no horror themes, nor set in any war before the Gulf War. The guns were real, existing in the hands of armies, police, and/or special ops groups. The realism in the guns and equipment not only make this game great, but gave gamers a taste of what modern warfare would have been before Call of Duty modernized war. The well balanced gameplay and the variety of maps helped make this game stand the test of time. There were three different modes of gameplay: hostage rescue, assassination, and search and destroy. Assassination being the least popular and search and destroy would be most popular.
The gameplay was as real as it could get. You couldn't go guns ablaze while moving, that would disrupt your accuracy. Spray and pray? Good in up close battles, not long range battles. Burst fire would be your best friend at long range. Learn the physics of grenades, because it can help or hurt your team. Crouching is a good tactic for accuracy and for silent movement. The radar is a must to survive. Learn which are the best weapons. Sniping is a either a blessing or a curse. Looking to regenerate that lost health? Too bad, there is no health pack or regenerative system. One life for one round. Better make the most of it, or your score is going to look like crap. The money system was brilliant. It made you aggressive, because the less you do, the less money you get to buy guns and equipment. Or play safe and be well equipped to fend off rushers at the critical choke points. To stay unnoticed, you must walk and used silenced weapons. Use teamwork to survive (or at least try), unless you are a pro gamer. Just so much to learn and practice to become, well the best.
There were plenty of maps to choose to play, but there were thousands because of the user-created content available to all the players. The customization never stopped for the game. Mods of changing the "skin" of your gun or characters existed. Server mods that ranged from Warcraft mods to zombie mods to death match mods. It got kinda crazy, but made the game have plenty of variety for those who wanted something different. But, the customization also led to one of the biggest flaws of the game…cheating. Yeah, I admit I hacked for some time on Counter-Strike. But that was when my interest in the game was fading. Many of the glitches were also fun to exploit. The best one? Bunny hopping. You may think it was cheating, but you really needed some skill to take advantage of the speed glitch. Cheating though got pretty boring fast and made my skills at the game worse than ever.
Another problem about the game was the servers. Since Valve never had any official servers, many were custom servers from either clans or just people who like to spend money for one. This caused a few problems, such as lack of map variety and server admins who are kicking/banning people for being better than them. It was also hard to find some good servers that had consistent number of people playing or too many people trying to join a server.
Despite the flaws, many still played on and find that perfect server that will allow them to compete and make friends with the massive community. Yeah, there were many sh*t talkers and whatnot out there, but there were more who were willing to friend strangers and play competitively together or one another. Counter-Strike will be going through its fourth iteration later this year, called Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Hopefully, Valve will recapture the magic of the original as Condition Zero and Source never lived up to the original.
No matter what though, this was one of the main games that brought first person multiplayers on the map. The competitive gaming was at its finest, despite the flaws. You needed skill and there was no forgiveness to those who couldn't keep up.

Cheap NFL jerseys
Authentic vs. Cheap NFL Jerseys
Before you drop your money on a NFL jersey for your favorite player, read through our helpful guide to determine if the jersey you're about to buy is indeed an authentic jersey and worth the money.Knockoff NFL jerseys may be tempting to some fans due to their lower price points, in fact, plenty of fans are looking for cheap NFL jerseys to buy. Let's review your choices before you call that play and purchase a discount NFL jersey. Yes, counterfeit football jerseys are cheap, but are also a prime example of "you get what you pay for". If you're planning on being a fan for more than one season – yeah, we thought so – then buying a fake NFL jersey from a knockoff site probably isn't your best option. Many reviews for these discount sites prove the point, often these jerseys come in wrong colors, with misspelled names or graphics that fall apart after a few washes. Ending up with a useless jersey before the season is even over is a total waste of money, which is why we at Fanatics want to help educate fans on the differences between counterfeit jerseys and officially licensed NFL jerseys.
Shop: NFL Jerseys on Sale | All NFL Jerseys
Quality Issues of Fake NFL Jerseys
If you're shopping online for a cheap NFL jersey, there's a few key points you should keep in mind when considering the quality of the product you're about to purchase. Knockoff jersey stores will typically only show you one poor quality image of the jersey they're selling with no alternate images of the details or lettering. Beware when you see this, they use these pictures on purpose so you can't see the low quality of their stitching and lettering. Fake NFL jerseys have been reported to fall apart quickly and have the letters and numbers sewn on crooked or even upside down. The stitching on authentic jerseys will always be uniform and the tackle twill lettering will lay flat and even with the jersey, while fakes will have inconsistent, loose and frayed stitching with mismatched thread colors.All authentic jerseys have deep, true colors on heavy durable mesh with spandex panels, while cheap jerseys are made from flimsy low-quality mesh in faded colors that are very obvious when compared to the authentic.Another easy way to check for authenticity is to look at the tags. A tag on your jersey should have a hologram sticker with the official NFL Shield on it, if it doesn't have one, don't buy it. Be careful when you look at the stickers as many counterfeit jerseys come with hologram stickers on them now. The fake NFL holograms can be very similar to the official ones, but the footballs or helmets on the sticker will all be one color instead of multiple colors like on the official one.
Sizing Issues of Cheap NFL Jerseys
The sizing on cheap jerseys is typically way off from the normal sizing chart as well. There are plenty of examples available online that compare an authentic size large jersey to a size large purchased from a discount jersey shop, and the difference is staggering. Not only are the jerseys much larger than they should be, but the hem can be cut unevenly or feature a drop tail in the back which is not consistent with authentics.Authentic jerseys tend to fit looser since they are made to fit pads under them, just like the ones worn on the field do, and have stretch sleeve hems for optimal movement. If you notice the sleeves are loose cut, they're incorrect and modeled after a replica jersey instead.
NFL Jersey Price Points
The easiest way to spot a fake jersey is the price of it. Licensed NFL jerseys range in price from $80 for a replica to almost $300 for an authentic, which is why many fans are tempted to buy a cheap NFL jersey online that can sell for as low as $35. However, factor into that low price the cost of shipping from China and waiting as long as 3-4 weeks for it to ship to you. You may be thinking right now that the cheap option is still the way to go, but remember you'll be lucky if that fake jersey lasts you through the entire season, or is even worthy of wearing to the stadium. Many disappointed fans have reported their cheap jerseys falling apart after a few washes. Think low price, low quality.If you don't want to shell out the big bucks for an authentic, Nike makes replica game jerseys as well that offer the same look as an authentic, but feature screened letters and numbers instead of sewn-on twill lettering. These replica jerseys are a cheaper alternative to the authentics but still offer a quality alternative that'll give your wallet a break.Don't think you'll fool your fellow fans with a fake jersey on gameday either, any loyal fan will be able to spot the difference between your knockoff and the real jersey the guy next to you is sporting. So do yourself a favor, buy a licensed Nike NFL jersey from an official retailer like Fanatics and rest assured that your new jersey will last you through many tailgates and seasons to come.

I had planned my next blog to be Part 2 of my piece on weightlifting, but the following information is so important, that I have decided to post this now – the subject is prostate cancer:
This is an important read (URL to the article is below) for all men (and the women who love them for that matter) considering the fact that 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. I remember when a friend of mine and fellow new-hire pilot at Eastern Airlines was diagnosed with prostate cancer a few years ago. To him, his Gleason score and PSA readings were irrelevant. As he stated it, "I just want this out of my body." He underwent a robotic radical prostatectomy, and as he now describes his once active sex life, "It's like trying to make love with a rope." Another good friend of mine, being worth about 75 million dollars sought out the best (so he thought) medical advice and surgeons available and decided on Brachytherapy in which the prostate gland is seeded with radiation pellets. He utilized the same surgeon that Mayor Rudy Guiliani of New York utilized when he was treated for the disease. Everything was fine for about 7 years, but somehow it slipped through the cracks that one of the side-effects of that procedure is that incontinence often rears its ugly head years after the procedure. He now wears a diaper.
An alternative to surgery is active surveillance. John Hopkins Hospital is the top of the food chain for anything to do with prostate cancer. That is where the nerve sparing radical prostatectomy was first developed by Dr. Patrick Walsh, an absolute rockstar in the world of prostate cancer. They are now the leaders of the pack in the movement towards less surgical intervention and more active surveillance. The important read that I alluded to is this:

Samford University is home to six panhellenic sororities, one of which is Alpha Omicron Pi. The sorority is lead by an executive council that strives to make the chapter the absolute best it can be. Sarah McFarland, a junior accounting major from St. Louis, Missouri, has been the chapter president of Samford's AOII for the past few months. Although McFarland enjoys binging shows on Netflix, hanging out with friends and eating far too many scoops of Edgewood Creamery icecream most of her time is spent serving with and for her fellow sisters. I got the chance to sit down her McFarland and ask her about her experience serving in such a crucial role and being a full time student.

5 Ethnic Restaurants in Birmingham, Alabama
Birmingham, Alabama has a wide variety of different cultures especially when it comes to food. Below are five ethnic restaurants to enjoy with your family and friends!
1. Grab some delicious bbq at Saw's
It's only in the Southern US states where the word barbecue is not an adjective. It's a noun, and for some, it's a world all its own. Walking into a true hole-in-the-wall barbecue such as SAW's BBQ is more than just a place to get some really good food to go, or to sit and enjoy a leisurely meal. It's an experience.
Q&A with Emma Percy: Young female pilot defies status quo in aviation
Q: Where did your interest in aviation come from?
A: My dad does fly and I think that's really what got me started with flying, you know just kind of being interested in that part of his life. So, he got me my first lesson (at Shelby County Airport). And after I took that first lesson, I was kind of hooked on it. It took me about a year of training to get my private pilot's license which is the first license.
Must-see vintage Birmingham bookstore
Reed Books is a bookstore in downtown Birmingham. With a residency of several decades, it has become a staple of the community. While people come from all over the world to view the thousands of books that line the shelves and the floors, there is much more to this bookstore than just the books. While Mr. Jim Reed, owner of Reed Books, will want to greet you with a smile, there are more faces that will welcome you into the store. Reed books is more than a store with faces. It is a a chance to find something new from the old. Take a look…
Earth Day Purpose and Celebrations
Earth Day comes around every year on April 22 but the history and idea behind the day is not commonly discussed. The concept for Earth Day was for the nation to focus on the environment for one day. Founder Gaylord Nelson was a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin. After seeing the 1969 massive oil spill in Santa Barbara and being ruled by the student anti-war movement, he related the public needed to be aware of the air and water pollution they were contributing. Nelson worked until the next year
Earth Day Network states that "on April 22, 1970, 20 million Americans took to the streets, parks, and auditoriums to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment in massive coast-to-coast rallies." Learn more about Earth Day.
Q&A about "Cultural Shock."
Q & A with Ruth Blackburn
- Can you introduce yourself? What's your name? Hometown? Major?
My name is Ruth Blackburn. I am a junior from Birmingham, Alabama. My major is Foods and Nutrition with an Art minor.
- When people mention Asia or Asian, what is your first thought?
I think of the cultural differences between Asia and America. My best friend went to China for 6 weeks and I think of the stories of squatty potties and riding bikes all around the cities. I once read that middle-aged men in Asia are at a very high risk of suicide because of pressure to succeed and do well in the workplace.
- What makes you most proud to be an American?
The kindness that people show to each other even when they are strangers and do not know each other.
- What do you think about "Culture Shock"?
I have never been affected by culture shock very much when I go to different countries. I think I am very easy going so the differences between countries do not shock me or bother me that much and it takes a lot of effort for me to pick out the differences and things that bother me or that I like better about one country.
Colorful Seasons of Kelly Ingram Park
May 1963, Kelly Ingram Park held organized protests and boycotts as a part of the Children's Crusade of Birmingham. In response to these protests, law enforcement officers used fire hoses and dogs to stop the protesters. This event in history was broadcasted internationally, turning people's attention to the endless fight for racial equality. Kelly Ingram Park holds the hearts, blood and lives of many who took a stand for justice everywhere that day. The park historically stands across the street from the Civil Rights Institute with statues and memorials decorating the acre. It's spring colors are as vibrant today as they were then in a field of black, white, and red.
String Theory—Birmingham Local Music
Is a string quartet the new rock and roll?
A musician guides his bow across the strings of a cello. He is tucked away behind a conductor stand, embracing the cello as if it is a beloved friend. Just a few measures into the song, he thrusts the bow with vigor. The instrument delivers a melody reminiscent of "Bohemian Rhapsody," Queen's chart-topping, pop-rock anthem. Have your ears deceived you, or is a conservatoire-trained musician performing rock 'n' roll hits on a cello?
"Coffee-coffee-coffee, is a saying. It's a funny, desperate cry for caffeine."
Here in Birmingham, coffee seems to run through the city's veins like it runs through the fictional veins of Lorelai Gilmore. If you're looking for a place to study, catch up with a friend, or fuel your day, we've got you covered. Here are five unique coffee shops in Birmingham, AL.

The Birmingham Crisis Center: talking does help
Talking does help.
The Birmingham Crisis Center's simple motto seeks to very simply convey its mission to Central Alabama, to serve the unmet needs of people experiencing personal crisis or mental health issues and respond with services that promote coping, emotional health and well being.
"We are a safe place," said Valerie Shayman, the Crisis and Suicide Line Program Coordinator at the Crisis Center. "Our staff and volunteers pride themselves in making sure this is a non-judgmental, safe, and comfortable atmosphere so all of our clients can receive the support they need and deserve."
And its clients are indeed the Crisis Center's first priority. As the Center provides support services over the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and has been in operation since 1970, it is clear that the Center is committed to maintaining a safe environment for their clients.
The Crisis Center offers several different specialized programs with which it serves its clients. They include the Crisis and Suicide Line (with recently added texting and instant messaging), age-specific lines including Teen Link, Kids' Help Line and the Senior Talk Line, a Rape Response line (along with other services for victims including exams, legal advocacy and counseling), a Payee Program and the Piper Place Day Program, which offers mental health services.
With so many areas of service, the Crisis Center is always in need of volunteers.
"We're looking for you!" Shayman said. "We are interested in a wide variety of volunteers! Key traits that work best in our programs are open-minds, nonjudgmental attitudes, patience and a willingness to help others."
Samford Seniors Emily Bruchas and Ali Rames have been volunteering at the Crisis Center this semester as part of their Family Studies curriculum at Samford University.
"Volunteering at the Crisis Center has given me first hand experience in counseling," Rames said. "I love being able to make a difference in someone's life, whether that means helping them through a situation, or simply listening to them talk."
Bruchas further explained the importance of a listening ear. "I've realized that even as a student I can help individuals deal with the current problem in their life. However, I've also realized many people just need someone to talk to, especially the elderly. It makes me re-evaluate what we need to do in society to give everyone a full and healthy life," she said.
After the prospective volunteer completes an application on the Crisis Center's website, an interview is scheduled with the appropriate coordinator. Volunteers then complete extensive training, which is designed to help the new volunteer be prepared for a variety of circumstances.
"We include group discussion, role-play, and multimedia in our training," Shayman said. "All volunteers complete 'shadow shifts' as well. During a shadow shift, the new volunteer has the opportunity to observe calls or Rape Response cases as they occur to help them feel more prepared for when they begin working cases or taking calls on their own."

Microsoft CEO and sweat machine Steve Ballmer recently called Vista a "work in progress," acknowledging some of the mistakes Microsoft made in rolling out the latest version of Windows and hinting that they're considering keeping XP on the shelves a bit longer for people who still don't want to upgrade.
The biggest lesson he learned from Vista's problems? How long it took for it to come out. "Certainly, you never want to let five years go between releases. Can we just sort of kiss that stone and move on? Because it turns out many things become problematic when you have those long release cycles."
And he also acknowledged that a lot of people just want to stick with XP, so while as of now it'll come off the shelves on June 30th, it might end up sticking around a bit longer.
In the meantime, we have some customers — a lot of customers — using Vista. A lot of customers. And we have a lot of customers that are choosing to stay with Windows XP. And as long as those are both important options, we will be sensitive and we will listen and we will hear that. I got a piece of mail from a customer the other day that talked about not being able to get XP anymore. We responded, XP is still available. And I know we're going to continue to get feedback from people on how long XP should be available. We've got some opinions on that, we've expressed our views.
Does this mean that if enough people write him letters about wanting to use XP, they'll keep selling it indefinitely? We'll have to wait and see. [Seattle PI via Crunchgear]

Designing new wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) entails identification and sizing of a sequence of unit processes to ensure a prescribed, effluent quality.
The availability of data is often limited to the average characteristics of the influent stream, such as flow rate and concentrations of the main components, as well as to the required concentration or load limits for the effluent. The characteristics of the influent stream may be measured on the actual wastewater or, more likely, extrapolated from experience. Often, the type of process is given or imposed but design alternatives can be evaluated.
Our WESTforDESIGN product is the ideal choice for this type of challenge. The Designer Tool that is included with it offers a range of process templates and design 'rules', such as ATV, which greatly simplify the design process of a WWTP based on steady-state conditions.
The added value of using WESTforDESIGN is that it allows you to evaluate the dynamic behaviour of the selected plant layout and even compare a number of candidate layouts by running dynamic simulations and computing performance indicators.

Prattville – Chances are that Prattville shoppers have noticed some huge changes to their local Winn Dixie supermarket over the past few months. Those renovations have culminated into a whole new shopping experience.
According to Prattville Winn Dixie store manager Donny Johnson, the improvements, which began around the first of December, are almost completed.
"Everything is basically done … we're just doing some odds and ends right at the moment," he said. "Inside, basically the entire bakery/deli area has been renovated, there is all new flooring, new checkout stands and registers, and we've added a lot of organic and natural foods to the shelves."
"On the outside, a new sign has been put up, they redid the columns, painted the front of the store and the parking lot," continued Johnson.
A spokesperson for the Winn Dixie Corporation in Jacksonville, Florida stated that sixty stores in the southeast would be renovated this year and that all of the Montgomery-area stores are going through complete remodels.
"This is about a four to six month process, taking some stores longer than others to complete because they are older and need more work," said the spokesperson. "Each store is customized to the neighborhoods they are serving with a goal to have each one more customer friendly so that the entire shopping experience is enhanced."
Johnson went on to say that the Prattville store grand opening would be held on April 7 with special activities for customers' families going on in the store and many sale items available.
Winn Dixie is located on 701 East Main Street in Prattville. Hours of operation are Monday-Sunday 7:00 AM-11:00 PM.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal claimed Monday that President Donald Trump has shown evidence of obstruction of justice as well as evidence of corrupt intent and accused Trump of using words of "a criminal defendant who has something to hide."
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough asked Blumenthal to break down the argument for Trump's obstruction of justice.
"Well, if you take the president's own statement, his tweet that he knew Michael Flynn was lying when he fired him," Blumenthal stated, "which means that he knew Michael Flynn had committed a felony when he asked Comey to stop the investigation of him, and when he fired Comey when he refused to do it."
The Connecticut senator continued, "And when he fired Sally Yates and when he called Michael Flynn in April to tell him to stay strong, all of these acts are to impede and obstruct justice, and then when you take the corrupt intent, which is the second element, just his tweet yesterday, his attack on the FBI is evidence of corrupt intent."
"It was stunning. These words are of a criminal defendant who has something to hide, the president of the United States, and to say that he is somehow above the law and cannot commit obstruction of justice simply because he is the president of the United States is absolutely absurd," Blumenthal stated.
Michael Flynn, the former national security advisor for the president until he was fired for lying to Vice President Mike Pence about his connections to Russia, has recently pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.
The president tweeted this on Saturday:
I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI. He has pled guilty to those lies. It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide!

Last Night at the Farm
Last night a couple of our neighbors came over to play cards and have some peach ice cream. (Homemade Peach Ice Cream recipe- super easy/No churn!) As the night was winding down and our friends were about to leave, there was a ruckus in the direction of our garden. To our surprise, there were several large cows munching down on our tiny sweet corn patch! Eeeek!
We decided to cook our corn right then and there!
Nothing like a sweet corn party at 10pm! Only in Iowa?!
What a way to enjoy our first sweet corn from our very first garden!
Moral of the story: don't let cows in the corn rain on your parade...
make lemonade!

If you have problems with the operation of your John Deere 185 tractor, take time to troubleshoot the problems before calling a repair service. The problem may be something simple that you can resolve on your own. Always refer to your John Deere 185 Tractor user manual for specifics regarding the particular problem you are experiencing, parts you may need and for a diagram indicating the location of various parts on your tractor.
Fuel Consumption
Open the shutoff valve to your gas tank. If it isn't open, your tractor will not receive the proper mixture of air and gasoline. Drain old fuel from your gas tank that may have been sitting over the winter, and replace it with new fuel.
Inspect the fuel filter for cleanliness. If the fuel filter is clogged, your tractor will not get the fuel it needs to run.
Remove the spark plug after trying to start your tractor. Sniff it to determine if it smells like gasoline. If not, you may have a blockage in your gas line.
Inspect the air filter to make sure it is clean. If it is clogged with dirt, the engine will not get the air it needs to start.
Driving Issues
Drive the tractor to see if it vibrates. If so, you may need to replace the drive belts.
Replenish the transmission oil if the tractor will not move but the engine is running. The parking brake could also be locked.
Refer to your instruction manual for information about the linkage. If your tractor moves when it is in neutral, you may need to adjust the linkage.
Electrical Issues
Push the brake pedal down if the starter does not turn the engine.
Replace your battery with a new one if the tractor won't start and the battery terminals appear corroded.
Change a burned out bulb if the lights don't operate. Also connect the light plug if it is disconnected.
Chute and Blade Issues
Empty grass out of the discharge chute if it gets clogged. If this keeps happening, you may be driving the tractor too fast or trying to cut grass that is too long and wet.
Drive more slowly if patches of grass remain uncut. You may also need to sharpen or replace your mower blades.
Raise the cutting deck if the grass is getting scalped.
Things You Will Need
- Battery
- Light bulb
- Transmission oil
- Gasoline
- Call John Deere at 309-765-8000 for more information.

If you spend enough time around bikes, eventually you are going to need to replace a chain. It will wear out, get rusty, bent, or break. Chain replacement is not hard, but it does require a special tool called, appropriately enough, a "chain tool". You can pick one up for about $5 – $10. You'll also need a new chain. To find the correct length, count the number of gears on the cranks and rear wheel of your bike. Replacement chains are sold based on a range of gears or speeds they can accommodate. Multiply the number of front gears by the number of rear gears to find out how many speeds your bike has. For example, if you have 2 in the front, and 6 in the back, you have a 12-speed bike.
To do the job correctly, it is helpful to understand how a bike chain works. Unlike your typical chain made up of linked loops, a bike chain is designed to mesh with a set of gears, and run smoothly through a series of guides that allow you to shift from one gear to another. To accomplish this, it has a flat profile made up of 2 plates per link, connected with pins. In this respect, it shares more in common with a metal watch band than an anchor chain. The pins are what meshes with the gears, allowing you to transfer power from your feet to the wheels.
Now that you understand how your bike chain is put together, begin the replacement by setting your shifters so your chain is on the smallest gears front and back. If your bike is not ridable, you can get the chain on the proper gear by flipping your bike over or getting someone to hold up the back end, and then turn the cranks with one hand while shifting with the other. If your chain is broken or jammed, you can skip this step. It makes removal and replacement easier, but is not essential.
Now before going any further, take a few pictures of how your chain winds through the derailleurs (the guides near the gears that move the chain when you shift). This will give you a reference so you can make sure to reassemble it correctly later.
Got those photos? Ok, now remove the tension from the existing chain by pushing the rear derailleur arm forward, which will allow you to lift the chain off the rear gear set. Now, grab your chain tool, which resembles a miniature vice. Its purpose is to push out the chain pins and separate the links of the chain. Use it to remove any convenient pin, then slip the separated chain out from the bike.
Lay the chain out on your garage floor. Line it up with your new chain and measure out the number of links. You must use the exact same number of links on the replacement chain or your gears will not work properly.
Again, using your chain tool, remove the pin on your new chain that mirrors the one removed on your old chain, so you end up with the same number of links. You may also need to remove a pin at the opposite end of the chain, depending on how it was packaged. If the opposite end is already "open you don't need to do this.
Some chains also come with a "quick link". In this set up one pin is fixed in place to each plate making up this special link. The other end of the plate has a slotted hole, so when the plates face each other, the pin fixed to the opposite plat can fit in the opposing hole. When tension is applied to the chain, the pins lock into the slots, securing the chain.
Once you have the correct length of chain, re-route your chain around the front gears and through the derailleur set, checking your photo to make sure you've done it correctly. Re-connect the ends of the chain using the pin removed from the new chain. Use your chain tool to push it back in place. (or link together your quick release link). Take the tension off again by pushing the derailleur arm, and loop the chain over the smallest front and back gears. Slowly release the derailleur arm while making sure the chain stays in place. Give the crank a few turns to ensure everything is moving properly. Then try shifting front and back while hand cranking, watching that gears change correctly as well.
If your chain came pre-lubricated you're done. If not, follow the oiling steps in my blog on basic bike maintenance. You are now ready for your next ride!
Bonus Tip!: When ever working on a bike chain, you are going to encounter grease. Wear work gloves or rubber gloves to keep the grease off your hands. Forgot to do this? Clean up with some WD-40 sprayed on a paper towel. You can scrub till your blue in the face with soap, but the WD-40 will get it off almost instantly.

Disk Manager Not Recognizing C: Drive after failed Ubuntu install
Very new to this sort of thing, hope I don't upset anyone. Basically what happened was I deleted the factory partitions on this laptop( HP Pavilion G6) using disk management down to two partitions and attempted to install Ubuntu on the other partition.
After a horrendously failed attempt to install Ubuntu, disk management will not recognize my hard drive even though I can see it and access it through windows. I just want to re-partition it so I can set up a recovery partition.
It wouldn't boot up after the failed install, saying I had no operating system, but I used a win7 repair disc and now it boots up fine, but disk management doesn't show my hd or any partitions.
any help would be appreciated.

In a situation where you attempted the installation of another OS I would opt for the use of GParted Live for cd you can also see written to a small usb flash drive. You first remove the new, existing partitions in order to start off with a fresh C primary.
From the dropdown list of file systems you simply select "ntfs" in lower case letters not the default ext 2 when going to format it. This should also eliminate all traces of the Grub installer used by many distros that is automatically installed as well as replace the traces of VFat in favor of NTFS.

Evidently while the 7 install went all well something of the other OS is lingering that has to be removed. That little bit of Partition Table info is still Linux where Windows cannot see onto any Linux drives or partitions as a rule.
This would be one explanation why your drive isn't being seen in the DM even with a 7 install on the drive itself since it hasn't been initialized there yet. GParted is preferred as the best since it is cross platform and will insure the drive becomes all MS. The latest release in iso is 126.1mb in size found at GParted - Browse /gparted at SourceForge.net
The General Documentation for use is seen at GPARTED DOCUMENTATION - GENERALITIES Some additional screenshots can be viewed at GParted -- Screenshots
Before the use of the drive tools on the 7 dvd or for any other paritioning program to see a new C primary created you could also use a security tool to nuke the drive entirely. A security tool like Eraser will literally write binary zeros to the drive over and over again while run wiping any form of data from it.
That would be rather unnecessary for this however. Also if you do not want the 100mb System Reserved parition which houses the BCD store and boot files keeping them separated from the main C volume(helps in rootkit protection) you could use a 3rd party drive paritioning program like GParted as well.
The suggestion for GParted is to allow you to also see just what is presently on the drive for a file system as well as being a free program to do away with any remaining traces of the other OS.

If you deleted all but the Win7 and your Ubuntu target partition then you don't have the Recovery partition any longer. To reinstall it and set your Win7 back to factory condition you'd need to boot the Recovery Disks which you should have made before deleting Recovery partition, or can order from HP Tech SUpport.
However HP has the worst load of factory bloatware of any make in the industry, so I'd strongly consider a Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7. Everything you need is in the blue link. If you had GRUB on the HD then I'd wipe it first with Diskpart Clean Command from DVD using DISKPART At PC Startup
If you're satisfied with Win7 for now then post back a screenshot of your maximized Disk mgmt drive map and listings, using the Snipping Tool in Start Menu: Screen Shots. Tell us what you'd like to do with the partitioning and we'll give you the steps.

If you opt to use the DiskPart method you will want to unplug any external hard drive first before use of the Clean or Clean All commands! You wouldn't want to select the wrong drive and see that wiped instead! The Clean All command can easily wipe them all!
If you are not familiar with that option we can walk you through it easy enough. The alternatives mentioned use the gui method to see the same results. Also if you intend to add a second partition for storage not having any external drive the gui method will be far easier to see that done.

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and Accounts, Strategic Report and Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the Directors to prepare Group and Parent Company financial statements for each financial year. Under that law they have elected to prepare both the Group and the Parent Company financial statements in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU and applicable law. As required by the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange they are required to prepare the Group financial statements in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU and applicable law and have elected to prepare the Parent Company financial statements on the same basis.
Under Company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and Parent Company and of their profit or loss for that period. In preparing each of the Group and Parent Company financial statements, the Directors are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether they have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group and the Parent Company will continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Parent Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Parent Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.
They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Group and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
Under applicable law and regulations, the Directors are also responsible for preparing a Directors' Report, Corporate Governance Statement and Directors' Remuneration Statement that complies with that law and those regulations.

Other grape varieties
The production specifications of ValpolicelIa state that:
"The grapes corning from the following varieties can contribute to a maximum of 25% in total in the making of the above mentioned wines:
- non aromatic red-berried varieties allowed to be cultivated in the province of Verona to the maximum extent of 15%, with a maximum limit of 10% for every single variety used;
- red-berried Italian varieties which have been classified as native according to the provisions of law nr.82/06, art. 2, and are allowed to be cultivated in the Province of Verona, for the remaining total amount of 10%."
The list of authorised grape varieties for the Province of Verona is long but within the viticulture in Valpolicella we can easily find:
Typical Veronese variety, listed as compulsory in the blend of Valpolicella until the modifications of the production specifications occurred in 2003. Its name comes from the large amount of bloom covering the berries that seem covered by white flour, as if coming from inside an old mill. Appreciated for the mineral aroma it brings to the wine.
Old Veronese variety, also called "Pelara" for its very poor-looking bunch with only a few berries covering the grape-stalk. Appreciated in blends for its typical spicy notes.
Old Veronese variety which has been recently rediscovered. Characterized by very small berries and a very hard skin. If gives wine tannic structure and colour.
Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Teroldego
Varieties recently introduced in the Valpolicella blend, appreciated for their positive oenological characteristics which for some of them are colour and for others structure and peculiar notes to the nose.
- Variety diffused in the whole of Veneto since ancient times, it is part of the Corbine group, also known as Corbinona or Corbinella. In the 4th volume of the Ampelographic Bulletin (1884–87) there is an evaluation of the diffusion in Italy of the varieties whose names come from the dark colour of their skins. In the chapter about Veneto it is written that: "Veneto. Black Corvia or Refosco is reported in Vicenza, Padova; Corbinella in Verona; Crovaja in Vicenza; Corbinone in Verona. There might be some similarities between Croà and Corbina of Verona. The wines obtained from Corbina and Crovino were presented in 1865 at the Fair in Turin, in Ferrara in 1875, in Vicenza in 1876, in Verona in 1876, at the Gianduja Fair in Torino in 1877. It can be said that Corbina, or Crovino, is among the best and most important grape varieties of Veneto, that they are located here and here they are to be studied";
- Variety subject of our studies. It shows a moderate vigour and a non-high production, above all if cultivated in the hills. Suitable for long pruning;
- Low susceptibility to the main cryptogams, Botrytis in particular;
- Great olfactory impact, with hints of citrus and balsamic and flowery notes; to the taste it has very good structure and softness. Wine with high oenological potential, whose characteristics are suitable for long ageing wines like Amarone della Valpolicella;
- High concentration of total tannins whose soft fraction is largely predominant on the astringent one; good polymerization index which results in stability and longevity of the polyphenols.
- Native variety; the first hints of its cultivation in Valpolicella date back to 1824 by Pollini;
- Variety with a good vigour and regular production. Low fertility basal buds; long pruning and expanded training systems (pergola) suit it better;
- Good resistance to winter cold; sensitive to downy mildew, Botrytis, powdery mildew and acid rot;
- It presents flowery and fruity notes with slight hints of pansy and blackberry; spicy, light herbaceous hints; to the taste it denotes a light astringency and a high acidity, due to the height of the vineyards and to its incomplete malolactic fermentation;
- Limited content of polyphenols and total tannins; low tannic fraction which does not reveal a particular softness and astringency.
- Variety to be found in a locality called Spigamonte (Negrar), in a vineyard located at 500 metres of altitude; pergola training system;
- Variety subject of our studies; average vigour with a regular but not rich production;
- It does not show any particular sensitiveness to pathogens;
- To the nose intense flowery and spicy notes and dried fruits hints; its remarkable structure is appreciable to the taste, modulated by a very good tannic texture which gives body and high softness to the wine. These characteristics demonstrate above all the suitability of the grapes for drying and the longevity of the wine which is for this reason apt to produce Amarone della Valpolicella;
- Great polyphenolic framework, with a noticeable percentage of antocyanins and a high quantity of total tannins; the latter are characterised by an outstanding softness and a good polymerization index that make them suitable for ageing.
- In the past this variety was rather diffused, so that Cosmo (1964) reports that "it was cultivated in the Polesine and in the province of Verona as well as in other provinces of Veneto". In the Ampelographic Bulletin (1884–87, 4th volume) under the entry "Name of varieties cultivated in the province of Rovigo" we find Turchetta, enumerated in 23 municipalities of the province and Calma Turchetta, listed in 17 municipalities of the province. Before that, Pollini had pointed out V. Turchetta at number 52 in a record in which he reports the varieties found in the province of Verona on the basis of some observations made between 1818 and 1823. In the same province, in 1900, Perez seems to have mentioned Turchetta among the varieties of vines cultivated in the 9th area of the lower Veronese plain;
- Being the subject of our studies, Turchetta is a variety with average vigour and good, but not rich, production; very suitable to short types of pruning;
- It resists rather good downy mildew and other cryptogames; it is not easily rotten;
- To the nose it expresses a good vinosity which reveals notes of raspberry and pepper; to the taste it is rather soft and of great elegance. The complexity of its elegant but not invasive organoleptic characteristics make it suitable to improve the typology of Valpolicella Classico and Superiore;
- Good quantity of total tannins which have a high grade of polymerization, fairly good softness and low astringency.

Redfree is an attractive modern summer apple, with a high level of disease resistance. As well as excellent resistance to scab it also has good resistance to fire blight and cedar apple rust.
The apples have a crisper texture than is normally found in summer apples, and can be kept in a fridge for several weeks after picking.
We might have more in stock later in the season or next season.
Click here to go on our waiting list.
*Find out more about the apple rootstocks we use to control the mature height.
Fill in the details below and we will let you know when Redfree apple trees are back in stock.
Redfree is easy to grow and adapted to both cold and warm climates, but flavor is generally better in cooler areas.
Thanks to its unusual parentage, which includes a scab-resistant crab apple, Redfree is a good pollinator of many other apple varieties.
Redfree is one of the most resistant varieties to cedar-apple rust, and is therefore a good choice if you live in an area where CAR is present.
Advice on fruit tree pollination.
Redfree was developed by the co-operative breeding program at Purdue, Rutgers, and Illinois universities. It was known during development as Co-op 13 and was released in the 1980s.
