Our Mission
We believe in the powers of the 21st century. Our mission is to build a community of fun loving, adventure seeking and responsible drinkers by pushing the envelope of technology.
Many businesses introduce a referral system with the main goal of increasing the number of customers. For example, if you are joining a gym for the first time they might offer you a free month as a new customer if you refer a friend to that particular gym. In addition, the client (or 'affiliate') might also get an extra bonus, for example a trial week.
As you can see, it's a 'win-win' situation for both parties; one is getting a free month and the other one a trial week. What happens, in reality, is that often, you can't invite a friend, because you don't have any friends interested in this particular referral business. Moreover, companies regularly offer better services or lower prices to affiliates who bring them referrals. And of course you want to take advantage of all these additional benefits.
What if you can actually do something about it? Wouldn't it be great if you could find a place where people like you share referrals? The good news is that there is already a platform that solves these problems.
Share Referrals is a website that lets people post referrals so those who are looking to be referred can find them in just a few easy steps. Both parties benefit and the process is quick and seamless. You don't even need to register an account, just fill in the form, and you are ready to go. The site is used by millions of people so you can be sure to obtain the bonus associated with the 'Refer a friend service' in a very short time
Furthermore, if you know that you will get something for free not only as a new customer, but also if a friend recommended you to that business, wouldn't you ask your friends if they are already customers of that business? At Share Referrals you can view referrals from other people, and it is highly likely that there is someone who posted about the same business that you are looking for. If you can get any additional benefits or bonuses from the Refer a Friend service, but you don't have a close friend who is interested in that particular service, just go to the Share Referrals website and you will surely find what you are looking for.

Florin Iordache resigns after days of protests over controversial decree
Emergency law, since withdrawn, would have essentially decriminalized some forms of corruption
Romanian Justice Minister Florin Iordache has resigned over a controversial government decree that would have protected many politicians from being prosecuted for corruption offences.
Iordache's resignation comes after 10 days of widespread protests against the corruption reforms rocked the nation. The government repealed the decree earlier this week.
In a televised statement on Thursday, Iordache said: "Ever since I came to the Justice Ministry, I planned and I also performed all legal procedures to correct a number of sensitive existing problems. As you've seen yourself, all my initiatives that I have assumed are legal and constitutional. The proposed projects have been out for public debate and now they are in parliamentarian debate.
"However, this wasn't enough for public opinion, so I have decided to resign from the post of Justice Minister."
On Thursday, Romania's Constitutional Court rejected complaints filed against the controversial decree as the law had been already repealed.
Earlier this week Romanian Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu had asked Iordache to prepare a draft law similar to the controversial decree.
The decree would have decriminalized corruption that caused damage worth less than about $48,000 (200,000 lei).
It also would have halted all investigations for pending corruption offenses, prevented further cases related to these offenses to be brought into justice, and freed some officials imprisoned for corruption.
This could have benefited politicians such as Liviu Dragnea, president of the Social Democrat Party, which recently took power. Dragnea is under investigation over abuse of power allegations and had also previously received a two-year suspended sentence for an elections offense.
Demonstrations calling for the resignation of the entire Social Democrat-led government – which introduced the measure – are expected to continue this week.
CNN's Ralph Ellis, Elizabeth Roberts, Marilia Brocchetto and Matthew Rehbein contributed to this article.

Although I've heard about Allen Elishewitz many times before & I own quite a few Benchmade knives,
and several of them were designed by Allen, Nimravus & Nimravus Cub, Dark Star, I've met him personally at BAKCA 2000 annual knife show, where the
another famous person in the knife world, Jim O'Young, the maker of Speed-Tech Synergy knives was helping Allen :). Well, it was very nice & interesting to chat with Allen
& Jim about knives & future projects, especially that I was awaiting for a few projects from them ;)
As I have already mentioned Allen Elishewitz is one of those custom maker that practically every knife enthusiast knows of ;) His designes are used by some large knife companies, such as Benchmade, Mission Knives. Besides he has military background of Recon Marine apparently contributes to the fact that his tactical and utility knives are so popular ;). For more information you can check his web site - www.elishewitzknives.com.
Now about the knife, well, I don't have much to say, it's a beauty :) Damascus blade, tactical folder, mokume handles. This is an art knife, not an user, though the blade is razor sharp :), something that you would wear on your tux.
General- Knife is done with the great attention to every detail. Fit and finish are just excellent. The knife feathures set of the qualities characteristic to Allen's knives, such as: a massive 1/4" heat-treated stainless steel pivot pin(an exclusive design by Allen), the polished pivot hole and nylatron washers provide a very smooth action, the ambidextrous stainless steel opening studs were designed by Allen too, really comfortable, here's a close-up of that, even after playing with if for a few hours :), decorated, colored aluminum spacer gives a real nice look to the knife. Lock up is rock solid and locking bar is comfortable to operate with. The handle looks just beautiful, though comfortability and ergonomics are not compromised by any means.
The blade has that distinctive shape from Allen :) Drop point, razor sharp, damascus blade looks just beaufitul, yet very tactical :).
Overall, this is a beautiful peace of knife art, one could admire it for hours - the design and craftsmanship, both are at the very high level :).

Facebook is still my favourite social network; I love the connection with long distance family, friends (new and old), and the curated list of articles for me to read. This is a service I am happy to pay for. Of course no money is exchanged to use Facebook. You pay with personal information.
Facebook uses your data in two ways:
Beyond your basic privacy controls that dictate who sees your timeline information ( which can be found in the Privacy Settings), these are the settings you can, and should, use to protect everything else.
The Apps Settings page in Facebook allows you to control how third party applications interact with your data. It also controls how external sites use your data when your friends log in. This is key so I will repeat it, even if you have never visited the site, these settings also indicate what a site can take from your profile via your friend who has signed in.
Inside the App Settings, you will find a setting called Apps Others Use. This is the area where you decide what information websites and apps can take from you through your friends. Uncheck anything you would not want an outside party to know without your knowledge. My humble opinion: if your profile privacy is set to "Friends", you do not want any of it shared outside that circle so probably best to uncheck it all. Make sure to save changes.
Networks like to track what you are doing online. This is often done via cookies, or files that contain information about you and your computer use. If you have logged into Facebook on a computer and not logged out (even if you have closed the tab), a Facebook cookie can be shared with every other site you visit. In turn, that site shares information about what you have searched back to Facebook.
The Ads page has a setting called Ads based on my use of websites and apps which allows you say no to what they call "internet based ads". Turn this off so that next time you are shopping for a dryer you won't see those ads show up on your Facebook sidebar. This limits the information shared from site to site.
Researchers say Facebook probably knows more about us than we do ourselves. They are probably right. Though many people would deny liking taboo articles or websites, Facebook knows if you have clicked on them or not. Want to know who Facebook thinks you are? Check out your Ad Preferences for a full list of topics targeted at you. If you don't like an item you can remove it. Or you can leave it there to confuse the system.
RELATED: Facebook Finally Getting the Button You've Been Waiting For
Every week a new social network is announced but rarely do they even make a wave in today's digital landscape. Not so with Peach. Peach showed up on the Apple App Store and then gained massive popularity through mentions on Twitter. The new networks touts itself as "a refreshingly fun and simple way to keep up with friends and be yourself."
To best explain it, Peach is Facebook-like in that it has a 'friend' relationship to other users. The feed looks like Twitter. The content is more like a Snapchat Story. You can post images, videos, text or GIFs (moving images, pronounced 'Jiffs'). Basically a mash-up of cool features from other networks. What makes it different is that you can also draw your own images or use Peach to find GIFs to post. It also has a set of 'shortcut' words that fire off other features. For instance, type 'Weather' and the weather appears in your post, type 'Shout' and the text increases in size, or type 'Move' and it will activate your devices pedometer. And you can do a set of actions to your friends like 'make a wave' or 'put a ring on it'. Bottom line; it is confusing as hell, which makes it fun.
No real news yet on the privacy features so be wary of what you are posting and as always, do not post private information.
Wired put together a great video where you can see the app in action.
Only time will tell if this one is a keeper but for now? It's a good distraction.

Every year in January there is a massive conference in Las Vegas called CES, or the Consumer Electronics Show. This is an opportunity for companies to showcase their latest in tech gadgets. Big trends for this year include wearables, health tech and 'smart' home products. There is also an entire area of the show dedicated to technology for kids and parents, as well as a set of awards called the KAPIs (Kids At Play Interactive).
Most of the products are awesome, but let's be honest, there is also a lot of weird shit in there. Below is a summary of this year's hits and misses for kids and parents. [Prices in USD and availability are included when known].
Many of these are KAPI award winners but all are sure to delight kids, young and old.
Parenting is the hardest job in the world, but these tech tools are all designed to make the job easier, and safer.
You either love these or hate them but these products really make me wonder what these companies were thinking.
The future looks bright... and a little weird.

Does Northwestern Have The Best Defense in College Football?
By: Will Ragatz
The Northwestern defense absolutely dominated in a 27-0 victory over Minnesota last Saturday. It was just the latest quality effort by a unit that had already shut down the competent offensive attacks of Stanford and Duke this season. NU is now 5-0 and has moved up to No. 13 in the AP poll, and much of the Wildcats' success this season can be attributed to defensive coordinator Mike Hankwitz's group.
That said, how does Northwestern stack up with some other elite defenses in college football? Is it reasonable to call NU's defense the best in the country? Let's take a look at the Wildcats' defense, and the other top defenses around the country by analyzing the FBS rankings for seven important defensive stats.
Total Defense: To get an idea of who NU's defensive peers are, we'll try total defense. Northwestern is allowing 247.4 total yards per game, good for fifth-best in the country. The third and fourth place teams, N.C. State and Pittsburgh, have faced weak schedules and allowed significantly more points than NU has. That leaves just two worthy competitors. Boston College (3-2, 0-2 ACC) is holding opponents to an FBS-low 140 yards per game this season. NU's next opponent, Michigan (4-1, 1-0 Big Ten), is giving up just 184 yards per game. Those numbers are both significantly more impressive than Northwestern's, but total defense doesn't tell the whole story.
Passing Defense: Northwestern, Boston College and Michigan have all been extremely effective at stopping opposing quarterbacks. In terms of passing yards allowed per game, BC is first in the country (96.6) while Michigan is third (112.6) and NU is seventh (130.0). However, opponents have thrown the ball more frequently against NU than either of the other two so NU is third (4.04) passing yards per attempt with BC first (3.83) and Michigan second (3.94).
Rushing Defense: BC is again first, allowing just 43.4 rushing yards per game, and Michigan is fifth with 71.4. NU's run defense hasn't been on the same level as their pass defense, as the Wildcats are allowing 117.4 yards per game on the ground which is only 26th-best in the country. All three have faced similar amounts of rushing attempts.
Scoring Defense: NU is first in this category, allowing just 35 points this season. Yes, that's a mere seven points per game. However, Michigan is a close second, giving up 7.6 per game while BC is third at eight per game.
Third Down Defense: Can you guess who the top three third down defenses in college football are? Michigan is leading the way, allowing just a 19.4% success rate. NU comes in second at 20%, and BC is third at 20.3%. Not much separation.
Red Zone Defense: NU has allowed opponents into the red zone 10 times this season. Those opposing offenses have come away with a touchdown just once. BC has allowed two touchdown on eight trips while Michigan has allowed four on six trips. Northwestern has allowed opponents to reach the 20-yard line more than the other two, but once they get there, they score touchdowns the fewest.
Turnovers: This is another place where the Wildcats have an advantage. NU has forced 10 turnovers through five games, scoring two defensive touchdowns. Michigan has forced seven and BC just five.
Whew, those were a lot of numbers and rankings. Through five weeks, we have a good idea of who has three of the best defenses in the country. Unfortunately, we don't have much separation after that, at least not statistically. NU has the best scoring defense, BC leads in total defense and Michigan has allowed the fewest red zone trips and lowest third down conversion rate. Let's now examine who these defenses have faced, to see if that gives us any clarity.
Michigan gave up 24 points in a season-opening loss at current No. 5 Utah, but has responded by allowing only 14 points in the four games since, including back-to-back shutouts over BYU and Maryland. BC's defense is legit, having allowed only two offensive touchdowns in three games against then No. 9 Florida State, Northern Illinois and Duke. However, the Eagles' mind-boggling yards-allowed numbers are inflated by routs over two over-matched FCS schools in Maine and Howard. NU's dominating performances against Minnesota, Duke and Stanford have already been mentioned
Okay, so that didn't decide it either. As far as the question of if NU has the best defense in the land, the jury is still out. They are probably at least in the top three, but there's a lot more football to be played,
Looking ahead: It is important to remember that five games is still a relatively small sample size. These defenses have a lot of season left to prove themselves. Luckily, we don't have to wait long to see two of them get tested, as NU and Michigan face off in Ann Arbor this weekend. This will be Michigan's first game without stud senior DE Mario Ojemudia, who is out for the season with an Achilles injury. Meanwhile, BC heads to Death Valley for a matchup with No. 2 Clemson and QB Deshaun Watson in two weeks.
These next two Saturdays may well determine just who actually has the best defense in college football.

Rugby Africa Concludes Biggest Solidarity Campaign In Its History
By Chinedu Nwosu
Rugby Africa has announced the immediate release of EUR 170,000.00 from a solidarity fund for its member unions.
The Rugby Africa Executive Committee had initiated the relief campaign given the current health crisis and the immediate impact it had on the rugby community at large. 31 rugby federations received the Rugby Africa solidarity fund and used it towards distribution of emergency food packages, medical support as well as personal protective equipment such as masks, hand sanitiser gels, etc. for clubs and as players in their respective countries.
All member federations were eligible for this financial aid to support their rugby communities. The federations could use the funds depending on their needs, while the financial aid granted considered the size of the federation and its level of development.
The countries of the following rugby unions received grants from the Rugby Africa solidarity fund: Algeria, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Congo Brazzaville, Côte d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Eswatini (Swaziland), Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Lesotho Rugby Union, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritania, Mauritius Rugby, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe.
The feedback of Lesotho Rugby Union's President Mr Fetang Selialia is exemplary: "The unveiling of the solidarity grant couldn't have come at a much needed time as we saw the need to donate food parcels to our rugby playing vulnerable children who were in need of food. There was also a further need to provide the protective utilities to our rugby players to help minimize the spread of COVID-19 within our rugby fraternity."
Director of Rugby at the Mauritius Rugby Union Jean-Baptiste Gobelet added: "This campaign led by Rugby Africa has had a considerable impact in Mauritius. The Rugby Federation is the only sports federation in the country that provided social assistance of this magnitude during the COVID-19 period. It was necessary for rugby to proof our values and solidarity. At the same time, the federation quickly put in place a plan to resume rugby activities in July and August to maintain links with all members. Children and their families are grateful for this support and rugby has conquered the heart of social network of Mauritius even more. In the coming months we will continue our work in the different regions of Mauritius make rugby more popular in schools. Rugby has a role to play that goes beyond sport, it has a true social vector which will attract more and more young people to practice of this sport."
The Executive Committee of Rugby Africa: "The Rugby Africa solidarity fund was a unique measure to fight the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. With the fund we wanted to send a signal of support and hope to our member unions in times of adversity. The rugby family has been severely challenged by the crisis, but as a community we stand strong together. It was enlightening to see the roll out of this campaign and how the unions followed the due diligence process. Our development work and strategy obviously go way beyond the solidarity fund which was a unique project in the history of Rugby Africa so far. All across the continent countries return step by step to train and play rugby in line with the government and health guidelines. Health and safety for all remain the highest priority, but Rugby Africa is getting ready to return to action."

More than half of UK companies are said to be holding off mergers and acquisitions as market uncertainty causes a risk aversion. Chief amongst factors causing the uncertainty is Brexit and current risk appetite levels are the lowest since the financial crisis of 2008.
Over 80% of chief financial offers are expecting the business environment to deteriorate over the long terms as a result of Brexit, the highest percentage since the referendum in June 2016. The findings are announced in a report compiled by Deloitte in its quarterly survey of executives making spending decisions at the UK's largest companies.
The survey took place between June 12 and 28 and it questioned chief financial officers and financial directors from UK listed companies, large private companies, and UK subsidiaries of large companies listed overseas.
Those surveyed also revealed that just 4% believed it was a good time to take on greater risk onto their balance sheets and 52% answered 'no' when asked if acquisitions were a priority for their companies.
Perhaps worryingly for the job market, 62% suggested they thought recruitment would decrease over the next three years, the highest level since 2016.
It is clear that the events of the last three years have added to, rather than reduced, worries about the impact of Brexit. The hesitant mood at the top of the food chain will likely filter down to the small and medium businesses that are the life blood of our UK economy.
The news suggests it is more important than ever to take the right professional advice with regard to mergers and acquisitions with the impact of Brexit continuing to remain unknown. With the withdrawal deadline of October fast approaching, it is more important than ever to consider options carefully.

New Delhi– Trying to put an end to the customers' woes of not being able to switch Aircel numbers to other operators, the Indian telecom regulator on Tuesday issued a directive asking the company to generate Unique Port Code (UPC) that would facilitate mobile number portability (MNP).
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has asked for facilitating MNP for the subscribers of Aircel Dishnet Wireless in the licensed service areas of Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir, Karnataka, Kerala, Kolkata, Mumbai, North East, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh (East) and West Bengal.
Aircel and Dishnet Wireless (both collectively referred to as Aircel Group), on February 22, 2018, informed that Aircel Group is undergoing deep financial stress due to various reasons which has also resulted in closing operations in six of their circles with effect from January 31, 2018.
Aircel has already closed down its services in the licensed services areas like Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh (West) with effect from January 31, 2018.
Due to disruption of services in the remaining licensed service areas like in Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir, Karnataka, Kerala, Kolkata, Mumbai, North East, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh (East) and West Bengal, a large number of subscribers, both prepaid and postpaid, are being inconvenienced and facing difficulties in porting their mobile number to other service provider.
The regulator has asked Aircel to keep all the UPCs generated pursuant to this direction and "UPCs generated prior to the date of this direction which are valid on that date, valid till 23:59:59 hours of April 15, 2018".
It has also asked Aircel not to reject any porting-out request of its subscribers whose activation of mobile number in the "network of Aircel Group is of less than 90 days". (IANS)

In recent years there has been a growing body of literature on the interconnectedness of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the need to maximize opportunities for education and their linkages. The existing empirical studies confirm some of the arguments about the benefits of education and the linkages to the MDGs.With the developmental outcomes of basic education in mind, this desk study set out to examine in what ways, and under what conditions investment in education is important in relation to the millennium development goals. It provides a synthesis of research on the potential contribution of basic education to achieving the MDGs, focusing on key texts produced by the international institutions. Within this review a key focal point will be the context in which education appears to impact the various MDGs outcomes, which is referred to as the ―enabling environment‖. The report sought to explore the evidence about the contribution of basic education to poverty reduction and the achievement of the MDGs within certain countries or regions. It considered the critical support systems, policy environments and national capacities upon which good quality basic education depends, and assessed the role of basic education in developing and sustaining these.In response to the global call to achieve the MDGs by 2015, many countries are making remarkable progress demonstrating that setting bold, collective goals in the fight against poverty yields results. Expanding access and improving the quality of education are both imperative for MDG progress. A balance must be struck to move both objectives forward.

This past weekend I attended the Spring 2018 Connexus Conference hosted by Valley Christian Church and as per usual, I am feeling so inspired, motivated, and excited by the event that I am feeling called to share more about my experience with all of you, in hopes that you'll feel inspired and encouraged to attend the next conference! I also attended this conference last fall and I did a whole blog post all about what the conference is and why you should attend, because similar to this past weekend's conference, I was feeling so inspired and I wanted to share that inspiration with all of my readers!
If you did not get a chance to check that post out, I recommend you read that post first to learn about this conference more in-depth, as this post is going to build on that one. You can check it out here! To give you a brief summary, the Connexus Conference is a faith-based leadership conference all about how you can become a leader within your sphere of influence. Also, since the conference is called "Connexus", there is a strong emphasis on connecting with others within your sphere of influence! Pretty awesome, right?
This year the conference was a little different in that the spring event is geared more towards a regional audience (i.e. leaders in your very own community/back yard) vs. a national audience (which the fall event focuses on). And the coolest part? I got to be one of the guest speakers on one of the panels! (Okay, maybe not the coolest part for everyone, but it was definitely one of the coolest parts for me!) One of the things I love most is getting to share my knowledge with others to inspire, motivate, and encourage. Being asked to be part of this event was truly such an incredible honor.
As I sat there for the 1.5 day conference, taking about a million pages in notes, it became abundantly clear that I was yet again meant to be there as I felt like the message was made specifically for me. My word for 2018 was "risk", as I wanted to take more risks in my business and personal life. See, I am an anxious person by nature and I wanted to continue to overcome the fears and anxieties that were holding me back from reaching my full potential. I wanted to step outside of my comfort zone and surrender the control I have so desperately been holding onto, but for an anxious, type-A control freak this was SCARY. Wholeheartedly surrendering fears and anxieties and trusting the process? A few years ago I would not have been able to even comprehend this thought process simply because it would have seemed so inconceivable. As I deepened my faith, I learned that I can not do any of this without my faith in God to lead me in the direction He has laid out for me, and this conference just solidified that for me. As I listened to the amazing speakers, this message just continued to be reinforced:
"Trust the process"
"Step outside of your comfort zone"
"God is with us, we cannot fail"
"Let the peace of God rule your hearts"
"God is bigger than our mistakes"
"Have faith"
"Slow down"
"Dream big"
"Move big"
"Greatness is not a destination, it's a journey"
"Make God a priority"
"Seek out opportunities to help others"
"Choose Family"
"God will always give us what we need"
Literally every one of these statements had such a profound impact on me because they were exactly what I needed to hear.
Then something really interesting happened. Part of the conference includes meeting with your sphere in small groups and the business sphere for this particular conference was the largest of all of the groups. There were around 20-25 people in this group alone and we were each given the opportunity to share what spoke to us during the conference, or what our takeaway was. Ready for the wild part? Every single answer was different. One of the group leaders even wrote them all down as we spoke and noted that they were all different. How can this be? We were all hearing the exact same messages/speeches, exact same speakers, and we were all in the exact same sphere. So why did we all have different takeaways?
Because God has an individualized plan for each of us, that's why.
God spoke to each of us based on those individual plans throughout the entire conference. And if this example is not proof enough, I don't know what is.
One of the biggest takeaways, regardless of which sphere you identified with, was that we aren't meant to do this alone. If we were, we wouldn't need God to guide us, support us, love us or to be there for us. We need to trust that God has a plan for each and every one of us in our sphere of influence, we just have to be open to receiving it.
I really wasn't sure what angle to take with this post because honestly, I am still feeling so inspired and motivated that I could probably write a short novel on what I learned and took away from the conference! After some prayer and meditation around it, I realized this was the message I was meant to share: Believing in ourselves, focusing on our own path, and continuing to develop and deepen our relationship with the Lord.
The topic I was guest speaking on was in regards to how to add values to others in your sphere of influence. One of the things I mentioned during my speaking part was that in my profession, I need to have faith in my clients before they even have faith in themselves, because if I don't have belief in their ability to make positive changes, then how can they have faith in themselves? Isn't this such a parallel to our relationship with God? He has the faith and belief in us from day one. We just need to believe in ourselves, trust the process, and most importantly trust Him.
I truly cannot express enough how incredible this conference is. The next conference is scheduled for October 26 + 27, so mark your calendars now and be on the lookout to sign up when the time comes! (Pro tip: Following VCC on social media is a great way to stay connected!) Also, I completely understand that life is busy and when events take place on weekends, it's hard to carve out time to attend amongst all of the other obligations we have. So here is a powerful mindset shift for anyone feeling ambivalent:
A few years ago, when I was going through a very difficult time, I vividly remember asking God for guidance one day. I was feeling so low and so defeated, I knew I needed His guidance. Right after that, I turned on an episode of Joel Osteen. During this particular sermon, he made reference to the fact that people justify not going to church regularly because they have "so much to do" or "no time." Then he referenced that people wake up at the crack of dawn to attend football games, sit outside in unfavorable weather conditions, and have no problem letting laundry go undone or putting off errands or other responsibilities for those events. When I tell you my jaw hit the floor, I mean it.
For those of you who don't know me personally, my husband and I are HUGE Rutgers Football fans (Go Scarlet Knights!) and we are those overly excited people who wake up at 5am, drive two hours in a RV to tailgate and attend a game all day, in 30 degree weather. We've sat through rain, sleet, and snow because it's "part of the experience" (And honestly are you even a true fan if you don't this?! I mean this is true dedication!)
The thing is, we always justified doing this because we were being such "diehard fans" and we had no issue with letting our other responsibilities go for the weekend to support the team. So when I thought about how it'd feel for me to pray to God and for Him to say "Not today, Sarah, the Jets are playing. Maybe I'll get to it later..," I realized my priorities were not in order and changes needed to be made.
This was such a pivotal moment for me and not only shaped my spiritual journey going forward, but my life as well.
See, there are opportunities to learn more about God's plan for you all around you, you just have to be open to those opportunities and this conference is one of those opportunities. When I tell you something incredible happens when you have a room full of inspired people, I mean it. The energy in the room was incredible. The excitement was infectious. And the best part was, no one felt like they were "missing out" on their weekend. Instead, we were all enjoying our weekend!
If you're someone who is looking for guidance, this conference is for you. If you're someone looking to connect more within your community, this conference is for you. If you're someone who is feeling stuck in your personal or professional life, this conference is for you. If you're someone who is looking to deepen your faith, this conference is for you. If you're someone who is looking to be inspired, then this conference is for you.

When you slouch for a prolonged period of time, you fundamentally alter the structure of your back, which ultimately leads to tremendous problems later on in life.

Wearing the Posture Perfect brace made me realize how ridiculous I looked and felt. My whole body had become so tight from looking down at my phone and walking around so slouched all day. Now I know exactly how I should be standing with my head tall and my shoulders back. I am still so surprised with how big of an impact my posture had on my confidence and general mood. I feel better on the inside and out. Even my friends and peers have started noticing" -Jessica H. Atlanta, Georgia

Original Article: https://www.barnesdennig.com/2020/05/forgiven-ppp-expense-proceeds-not-deductible/
According to new guidance issued by the IRS, (Notice 2020-32) expenses paid for with debt that is forgiven will not be tax-deductible. That means that if you received a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan and spent the money on qualifying expenses, and the entire amount of the PPP loan is forgiven, none of those expenses will be deductible.
Congress's intent in creating the Paycheck Protection Program was to keep American workers paid and employed, as Title 1 of the CARES Act indicates. Congress states that the purpose of the PPP emergency funding is to provide eight weeks of cash flow assistance to small businesses through federally guaranteed loans to employers who maintain their payroll. The intention is for businesses is to use the funds to cover costs such as payroll, paid sick leave, supply chain disruptions, and employee salaries.
The legislation further provides that certain amounts owed on such loans are eligible to be forgiven if the PPP proceeds are spent on certain qualifying expenses, such as payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. Historically, the IRS code dictates that when debt is forgiven, taxable cancellation of indebtedness income is recognized.
However, Congress carved out a special exception in the PPP bill that allows for tax-free forgiveness of the PPP debt as long as the money is spent on qualifying expenses (listed above). The common interpretation of the CARES Act is that its application would not impact the taxable income of small businesses.
There is a history of cases cited in the guidance related to the non-deductible nature of expenses paid for with tax-exempt money. However, we are hopeful that this was not the intent of the PPP legislation. To fix this, Congress could issue legislation indicating that expenses paid for with forgiven PPP loans will be tax-deductible with language to prohibit reference to existing sections of the IRS code regarding non-deductibility. Whether that happens remains to be seen.

I have written at some length about the impressive Rocket Age set so go back and read this article for more information about that. I shall repeat my effort at recreating the wonderful image on the box, though.
The individually boxed radar scanner really did not amass much by way of sales and is now quite sought after in its original packaging simply because there never were many around.
The third item this month was the last outing for an ERF truck, now with a tipping cement section at the back.
Early editions had metal caps on the cement section, replaced by red plastic for the majority of production. It lasted a while, through to 1964, and gets fixed shaped wheels for later editions. I'm not aware of any examples with free spinning wheels although they would have been fitted to other models in the later stages of its production.
Apart from the revised editions of the Bedford C vans, this will be the last new model issued without an interior.

By Missouri Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II, Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus
WASHINGTON - "Not only will we have to repent for the sins of bad people; but we also will have to repent for the appalling silence of good people." – Martin Luther King, Jr.
Milestones in our lives, such as birthdays and anniversaries, automatically propel us into a state of reflection. We look back and take inventory on our progress, growth, change or lack there of. On the 25th anniversary of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, marked as a national holiday, we as a nation reflect on the progress we have made racially and civilly.
I fondly remember my days in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference organizing tent cities, protesting the exclusion of African Americans in an affluent part of Kansas City. From the picket lines to the first African American in the Kansas City Mayor's Office, and now serving as Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus during the 40th Anniversary, I reflect on this holiday with a heart full of praise, gratitude, and commitment, even though we are still trying to fulfill what Dr. King called the "agonizing gulf between the ought and the is."
As we honor the life, legacy and work of Dr. King in our own way this holiday, the "ought" is still out distancing the "is." I wonder how he would judge our progress as a nation today? Together we have made great strides in making the promise of America the practice; however, to say that we have a long way to go is far beyond the obvious. King's holiday looms under the shadow of an earth shattering tragedy: the Arizona shooting. Nineteen people shot and six killed. My dear friend and colleague, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords continues to make monumental strides in her recovery after she was shot in the head at point blank range.
Dr. King's holiday – champion in the non-violent movement – has come at the right time. As we begin the healing process as a nation where mass shootings and random acts of violence are becoming all too common, it is critical that we ask ourselves: How did we get here? Regardless of the varying motives of the Tucson shooter, our rhetoric and discourse as a society has been rapidly declining for the last decade.
Words indeed do have power. And eventually words turn into actions. Individuals, including members of Congress, have carried on dangerously close to the edge. Names have been called. Americans have been riled up, and people including national political figures have lashed out uncontrollably, with unnecessarily brash remarks – even towards the president of the United States. We have played Russian roulette with the American people, abandoning realism, respect and civility. Without fully acknowledging the dark place where we have drifted, our nation will continue being impregnated with political tribalism, giving birth to acrimony.
While some shy away from acknowledging our reckless discourse I remember these words of Dr. King:
"On some positions, Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' And Vanity comes along and asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But Conscience asks the question 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because conscience tells him it is right."
What is right? Fact based debates. What is right? Respect and civility among colleagues. What is right? Disagreeing without being disagreeable as Speaker Boehner commented. What is right? Addressing one another in a way that heals, not wounds, as President Obama recently stated. This is what we "ought" to do. It is time to take responsibility for our words, our tone, and our actions.
So in the power of the dream Dr. King described, and the mountaintop we are all desperately trying to reach, let us take this time to reflect upon his life, legacy, and current state of American politics in order to correct the mistakes we have made.
While we prepare to re-enter into the debate that sparked many deep and powerful emotions on health care reform, let us enter cautiously, with civility on the forefront and reflections of the man who set this nation's heart aflame with his dream.

My mother has suffered from migraines for the better part of 40 years. The general population associates 'migraine' with 'just a bad headache'; those who've experienced or have been around someone experiencing a migraine know better. This past year she took a short-term and subsequent long-term disability from her job as a Nutrition & Wellness professor. It took her a year to even consider taking disability due to the stigma associated with the term. She feared it would redefine who she was as a working professional, mother, and person.
This past year of our relationship has been the most difficult of our 29 years relationship. I often feel like the parent, struggling with her newfound openness about her illness, wellbeing, and mental health. Our interactions are less about my twentysomething struggles with dating, work, and random New York City life and more focused on her battle with migraines.
Initially, I tried to avoid the fact that my mother had a life-altering disability. I thought that this was just a phase, and she would get better. That one day our conversations — our lives — would go back to normal. It took six months of avoidance before I realized that her struggle with disability is significantly harder than my adjustment to our new relationship dynamic.
Three key mindsets helped me grow and redefine our relationship. This new outlook ultimately led me to become a better daughter, stronger peer, and better friend to my mother because, not in spite of, her disability.
Listen to their needs even if you've heard them before.
I call my mom every morning while walking to the subway. The first question asked is, "How are you feeling today?" Frequently she's woken up at 3AM with a blinding migraine and taken strong prescription medicine with severe side effects. By the time we talk, she is half-awake and foggy, but attempting to have a somewhat normal day. The response isn't as important as the fact that she can share with me how she's truly feeling. I've actively worked to become a safe space. Her friends and family who aren't migraine or long-term pain sufferers don't understand what she's going through. Often, I can only empathize so much with her plight, but giving her the peace of mind that someone is listening can be enough.
Be grateful that this person is still in your life and let them know.
Often I bite my tongue knowing that lashing out or snapping only makes the situation worse. My mom isn't what she was in a lot of ways. She was a wonder woman who managed fifteen things at once in her life and about nine others in mine at the same time. While her disability changes a lot of her day-to-day functionality, it doesn't make her any less of a wonder woman, just one with a different set of powers. Without her I wouldn't be 1000th of the person I am today, so I actively apologize for the slightest snap and proactively withhold attitude that might have been more loosely doled out.
More than ever I make sure she knows that I love her at the end of every interaction. If something happens to either of us, there is no worry of ill will or negative last words, our feelings for each other are loving and clear.
"Unlike a headache, the Migraine disease has many symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, auras (light spots), sensitivity to light and sound, numbness, difficulty in speech, and severe semihemispherical head pain. One Migraine attack alone can last for eight hours, several days, or even weeks."
Do your research.
I take every opportunity to talk with someone about their migraine experiences. It is a hidden disability since it isn't super visual to those who can't recognize the symptoms — and even then, my mom went to work for 23 years as a college professor and worked as if she didn't have a migraine pounding her skull.
Knowing more information about what the disability is, how it manifests, and continually learning and reading from resources allows for a healthier level of empathy and awareness that can only improve the relationship. By having conversations and reading articles on migraines my mom and I can connect about the disability on another level beyond her experiences.

OTD Lite 1996 – Was Schumacher really the rain master?
Ask anybody about Michael Schumacher's prowess in the rain and they will say he was the modern day 'reinmeister'. Question them about his greatest drive in the rain and many will claim his 1996 Spanish GP victory when he was lapping up to 5 seconds a lap faster than his competition as arguably his greatest.
It followed that over the years – whenever it rained he would dominate the races but people forget that he would have two cars prepared for races – one with a full dry set-up and the other full wet. He'd jump between the two and off he went to another victory.
But I struggle with this. Of his contemporaries he was the most gifted by a mile. With Ferrari/ Bridgestone and co. practically working for the glory of Michael, it was inevitable that he would dominate races. Don't misunderstand, I loved that he was driving for the Scuderia but the best in the wet?
On this day in 1996, Schumi finished third – a lap behind the Williams of Damon Hill and Benetton of Jean Alesi in a wet Brazilian GP. Four races later he crashed out on the first lap of a wet Monaco GP but this is all forgotten because of the following wet race in Barcelona.
A cliched F1 truism – you are only as good as your last race!
The Grumpy Jackal
Lauda – Vettel image changed when he joined Ferrari
Michael Schumacher won his first two titles with Benetton in 1994 and 1995 but left to join the Maranello adventure that Jean Todt was building at the time. Of course he was well rewarded for his gamble to join the ailing Italian giants but there were two more important reasons for the change.
The first was simply the challenge to bring this historic giant back to the winners circle after so long but the second was his time at Benetton had left his image slightly tarnished. With unproven claims of traction control, his collision with Hill in Adelaide 1994 and various incidents in 1995 Schumacher was guilty by association with the Flavio Briatore / Tom Walkinshaw run Benetton team. By joining Ferrari his image changed overnight.
Three-time world champion Niki Lauda concurs and says Sebastian Vettel's victory in Malaysia was good for Formula One and the German driver's own image.
"I went to Ferrari boss, Maurizio Arrivabene straight away and I congratulated him from my heart," Lauda said. "He is competition and the more competition the better, and if Ferrari wins Bernie can't complain about boring Vettel because Vettel is not boring anymore. It's very good this result for the total image of F1, because some people are always complaining."
"It's normal in sport when these things happen and you don't win every race that the bell rings. The bell will ring loud and we all will hear it and we will react to it, which is normal. But nevertheless we were second and third and we won the last race, so the world is not finished yet after one Vettel victory. But nevertheless they were better today."
"It's very simple, they were unbeatable today I would say. They did a perfect strategy and Vettel did an incredible job, the car performed and the tyres lasted. For us it was a three-stop strategy. Why? Because the tyres at their peak it was important for us to make three stops and for Ferrari they were less hard on tyres altogether, therefore they could do a two-stop and win the race."
Hamilton contract negotiations almost complete
It would appear that Lewis Hamilton's protracted contract negotiations are finally coming to a close. Having taken the decision to terminate his contract with XIX Entertainment and handle his own negotiations himself it has been a long drawn out process for both sides.
With Wolff joking recently about Lewis having signed a contract with Maranello – before revealing it was to pick up the hypercar 'LaFerrari' – questions were asked about the Briton signing for the Italian team: "No don't be silly. My contract at Mercedes should be done this week. There's no reason why not. Honestly, it's 99.6 per cent done. There's no negotiating left, it' just legal stuff."
The contract is said to be worth in the region of $31 million dollars but win bonuses could well take his earnings over $40 million which puts the double World Champion in the same bracket as Alonso and Vettel.
When Hamilton signed for Mercedes at the end of 2012, many questioned his reasoning to leave a successful team for a team that was struggling in the midfield. Yet history shows that champions make their own luck by being in the right place at the right time – as proven by Sebastian Vettel's victory in Sepang. Something that Hamilton considered whilst sitting beside Vettel.
"It's nice to see Ferrari back up, I sat next to Sebastian and thought to myself, 'What is Fernando thinking?'"
"I remember when I left McLaren and came here, we were better the next year. I had a good feeling then, but he's almost done the opposite of what I did. It could have been him today. It's just strange how things turn out."
Wolff – Alarm bells ringing at Mercedes
In an echo of Niki Lauda's sentiment – Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says Vettel's win for Ferrari in Malaysia has set alarm bells ringing for the reigning world champions. For the first time since the inception of the V6 turbo era Mercedes were beaten on outright pace and Mercedes were left surprised by the gains the Italian manufacturer has found over the winter.
"We didn't expect them to catch us this quickly, we were pretty dominant in Melbourne, we are always a little bit sceptical about our own advantage. That we've been caught up by a Ferrari in two weeks, that they beat us fair and square on the track, is a bit of a surprise, but equally a bit of a wake-up call, which is good for us."
"We just need to analyse where in the next couple of days where we want wrong, what we need to improve, whether we need to bring any developments forward, put them on the car quicker, what we are doing about engine number two. And assess that properly. But definitely, we need to increase the pace of our development."
Despite Ferrari technical director James Allison suggesting that this was a isolated victory due to specific circumstances and that Ferrari has developments in the pipeline for future races – Wolff expressed concern about the future competition between the two Grandees.
"Yes, that is worrying. In these circumstances here with the high temperatures, they were able to go at a faster pace over long runs than us. We need to analyse why that was the case and it clearly shows it's not going to be an easy one. We've had completely different conditions here. One of the explanations today is the extremely high ambient and tarmac temperatures. We've probably gone a bit too aggressive on set-ups which pushed us into a direction of a three stop, which was pretty clear with all the algorithms."
"There is no panic, but we were in a new situation. We were not in control of things. We had new information which was different to what we had assessed over the weekend. Today, things didn't pan out in the way we expected it to pan out. It was clear the winning streak was not going to go on forever."
Marko wins with Sebastian again!
Helmut Marko is recognised as a straight talking but divisive figure. There is no love lost between the Austrian and Mark Webber – who was seemingly attacked throughout his Red Bull career. Pirelli have suffered the wrath of Marko and currently Renault have gone on the offensive to counter his claims in recent months. Even the once golden boy – four time RBR champion Vettel – was given little leeway after his annus horribilis last year.
Yet Marko gave a surprising interview to Germany's Sport Bild which would appear that the pair have reconciled their differences. Marko placed a bet on Seb winning the Malaysian Grand Prix after watching his Friday practice: "I knew that Sebastian could do it," he said. "You could see it as early as Friday practice."
After collecting his winnings of Euro 400, Dr Helmut explained how he had never lost faith in Seb's abilities despite failing to take victory in 2014: "He did not forget how to drive in one year. He just could not drive our car as he needed to. Maybe people will realise at last that it was not our car alone that gave him those four titles."
Which after 39 victories in Adrian Newey designed cars could ultimately prove the defining moment in the young German's career.
Sky viewership rises in Italy following weekend
Race attendances and viewing figures have been in free-fall for some time and it is often cited that Mr E's moving of TV behind pay-per-view services has affected the numbers. Even in Germany, where Vettel and Schumacher have claimed 9 of the 14 championships of the 21st century and Mercedes dominated the constructors last year, the figures are tumbling.
A similar situation has occurred in Italy where F1 and MotoGP have been moved off of free-to-air to Sky Sports, as in other territories, and, not surprisingly, the viewership has also fallen.
Yet in just one afternoon, with Ferrari winning in Malaysia and Valentino Rossi winning in Qatar Sky Sports F1 HD and Sky Sports HD MotoGP have collected 2,494,986 unique viewers, making them the most viewed channels of the network.
MotoGP in particular set an absolute record when 1,060,908 viewers tuned into exclusive live race from Qatar. This translates to an increase of 18% compared to the MotoGP debut in 2014.
The Malaysian Grand Prix, which was shown live exclusively on Sky Sports F1 HD and Sky Sports HD 1, had an audience of 762,072 viewers overall which is an increase of 21% compared to the 2014 event.
Of what should be particular interest to the marketing arms of the F1 teams and FOM themselves was the results of social media over the weekend. Over 3.6 million tweets and retweets were generated from these two races which were the most commented subjects of the weekend.
Bernie wants a female F1 championship
From time to time Bernie Ecclestone volunteers off the wall suggestions that will supposedly increase the viewership of F1 to the general population.
In recent years his infamous sense of humour has offered: 'You know, I've got one of these wonderful ideas that women should all be dressed in white like all the other domestic appliances.'
In this context his latest idea seems surreal to say the least.
According to the Daily Telegraph, Mr E believes "I thought it would be a good idea to give them [women} a showcase. For some reason, women are not coming through- and not because we don't want them. Of course we do, because they would attract a lot of attention and publicity and probably a lot of sponsors."
After Pat Symonds recently made it clear that Susie Wolff was never under consideration to debutise for Valtteri Bottas in Melbourne she was pointed in her response.
"It's most definitely not the right way forward. First of all, I don't know where you'd find a full grid of female drivers who are good enough. Secondly, I have raced my whole career in motorsport as a normal competitor. Why would I ever look for a race where I was only competing against women?"
"I can hand on heart say it would not interest me at all to win such a race. I would rather not be in the race because what am I winning? A race where they've just looked for any girl to make a grid up."
Which is a salient point when one considers her most recent competition would include Lotus "development" driver Carmen Jorda and Simona De Silvestro who tested for Sauber last season.

IAN RUSSELL & CHRIS GOERTZEN - Routes & Roots: Fiddle And Dance Studies From Around The North Atlantic 4
Another healthy slab of reading matter from the conference held as part of the North Atlantic Fiddle Convention in Aberdeen in 2010.
This has a more solidly "celtic" feel than previous volumes, with five articles relating to matters Scottish / Cape Breton, four Irish, three American and lone contributions on England and Lithuania. Partly this is due to the lack of articles from the Scandinavian countries - hopefully a temporary absence as these have previously provided a rich vein of content.
Many of the articles attempt to address the vexed question of what is tradition and when do modern interpretations of the tradition become, themselves, traditional? Some attempt to justify the modernistic use of some elements of tradition as being merely extensions of that tradition is made by invoking the old chestnut, "all traditions continuously change". Some, however, appear to change more quickly than others.
The "fiddle" envelope is vigorously pushed by a particularly interesting article on why it is that bagpipe competitions render their participants less able to play satisfactorily for dance music. This highlights the severance of function and artistry (music and dance) in several traditions.
As with all such books of excellence, there is much here I agree with, much I disagree with and much to inform, but all of it is vital and thought-provoking. This series of volumes is an internationally important body of work on fiddle and dance tradition, for which great thanks are especially due to Ian Russell and the Elphinstone Institute. The new volume is of an equally high standard to its predecessors.

4. Kenny Britt, Rutgers - 6-4, 205, JR .... 2007 Statistics: 62 receptions, 1,232 yards (19.9 ypr), 8TD
Because WR Tiquan Underwood and RB Ray Rice also had really good years for the Scarlet Knights in 2007, Britt was mainly overlooked. However, with his size and speed, he will become the best overall receiver in the Big East in '08. Britt is one of the best deep threats in college football, which is evident in the fact he averaged 20 yards a catch. He tallied 5 100 yard games last season, but must show more consistency over the course of the entire schedule. I believe he will do just that, as he will be gaining more experience week after week. Has one of the biggest upsides of any receiver on this list.
Notre Dame will be holding more games on our turf, as Syracuse, as rumored, appears ready to play 5 "home" games at the new Giants Stadium.

To be effective, a video needs to be clear about its message and relatable. The government's milkshake video seemingly about consent failed on both counts. But these videos get it right.
Originally designed to display service times or bible quotations, church signs are becoming a site of political commentary, tackling everything from pill testing to refugee rights.
Single-use plastic bags will soon be gone from major supermarkets and many other shops too. Campaigns to reduce plastic even more should focus on positive advice, rather than shaming shoppers.

Valerio Ferrari of Zamperla told county lawmakers that he wants to build the tallest pendulum ride in the world at Rye Playland. The new ride could set a record by 10 feet, he said. Standard Amusements Inc. and Zamperla owned Central Amusements are each interested in running the park and both view new rides as central to their goals.
Read more from Westchester County Business Journal.
What, pray tell, did Zamperla "do" to Coney?
The amusement park rises bold and stark..kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I got no problems with Zamperla running Playland and adding new rides. As long as they keep and maintain the old ones. Don't know if both woodies have historic markers but also the fun houses, Dodgem, Old mill and Derby Racer are all great.
Whip. Zombie Castle. Flying Witch. House of Mirrors. Boardwalk. Beach. Pool. I agree there's plenty of history to be recognized, saved, and restored. The beautiful deco architecture falls in there as well.
I'm also of the opinion that having Zamperla step in with their rides is better than no Playland at all. There's already a Zamperla Volare coaster there, but I believe it may be the only ride from them that is currently operating at the park. They have a coaster that goes by the name Crazy Mouse, but it's not the standard Zamperla spinner that we might expect. So... I guess we'll wait and see how things turn out once and if the plan goes through. I'd guess offhand that a lot of the portable flats that exist there now stand to be replaced by similar or different rides all by Zamperla.
I'm also of the opinion that what happened at Coney can only be classified as a "save". Detractors can think what they want about the place being ruined- I see it as a welcome change that's drawing real crowds back to a spruced up area. If there's a driving force behind the general renaissance I'd put it on Luna.
I'm curious as to what happened to Legoland. At one time they were interested in the park, and while initially skeptical, after seeing how Cypress Gardens had transformed under them, I could certainly see how this might work for Playland. Cypress has many similar aspects from a historical standpoint, though very different in actual physicality.

Runner with age discrepancy withdrawn from World Junior Championships
A Bahrain runner whose age eligibility was questioned for the World Junior Championships was pulled out of the meet before her event, according to the Oregonian.
The 1500m runner Amsale Getaneh is listed with a June 14, 1996, birthdate on the IAAF website, which would make her eligible to compete in the championships, whose age limit is 19.But the newspaper reported it obtained a photo copy of what appears to be an Ethiopian passport for Getaneh with a Jan. 18, 1990 birthday, which would make her five years too old for the World Junior Championships.
The IAAF -- the International Association of Athletics Federations, the governing body of international track & field -- investigated and concluded Getaneh was too old to be eligible.
An IAAF spokesman said officials contacted members of the federation from Bahrain "to clarify why their athlete has two passports because we received an Ethiopian passport showing her date of birth as '90 and not '96.
"They decided they didn't want to create problems in the competition and disturb the good relationship between the Bahrain association and the IAAF. They decided to cancel the participation of the athlete."
A six-year difference is more than some of the most infamous age falsifications in sports, such as 2001 Little League World Series baseball player Danny Almonte (two years difference) and 2000 Chinese Olympic gymnast Dong Fangxiao (three years difference).
