Post subject: game homestand which concludes on Tuesday
Tottenham have held talks with Eredivisie top scorer Vincent Janssen after AZ Alkmaar gave him permission to speak to Spurs, sources have told Sky Sports News HQ.
Vince Biegel Packers Jersey
. It is understood the 21-year-old spent Tuesday in London listening to Tottenhams plans for the future and discussing a potential deal to move to White Hart Lane. Sources say there has not yet been any discussions between the clubs over a transfer fee, but reports in the Netherlands claim the Eredivisie club are asking for around £12m. Watch Vincent Janssens top five Eredivisie goals from last season with AZ Alkmaar Sky sources reported last week that Spurs head coach Mauricio Pochettino, his assistant Jesus Perez and head of recruitment Paul Mitchell watched Janssen play for the Netherlands against Republic of Ireland in a pre-Euro 2016 warm-up game.The forward, who was the top scorer in the Eredivisie last season with 27 goals, has been of significant interest to Spurs as well as the Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi and Basels Breel Embolo. Janssen scored against England at Wembley in March Former Ajax and Holland defender Mario Melchiot told Sky Sports News HQ that Janssen has the ability to play in the Premier League, if he can handle the step up.Hes scored a lot of goals. He holds the ball up really well, knows where the goal is, he said. Hes strong enough to play in the Premier League. I dont want to say hes a like-for-like with Harry Kane, because Kane has already shown everyone how to do it. Michy Batshuayi has also been heavily linked with a move to White Hart Lane Vincent deserves credit for scoring so many goals in Holland but weve seen in the Premier League it wont be a walk in the park for him. Technically, he should be able to compete, so now its just whether he can handle the pressure and expectation.Janssen only made his Netherlands debut in March, and has scored three goals in five international appearances, including the equaliser from the penalty spot against England at Wembley.

. Team spokesman Donald Beauchamp said there was no new information on the 80-year-old Hall of Famers condition. The family has requested privacy.
Vince Biegel Womens Jersey
. The hard-serving 22-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., became the first Canadian to be ranked in the Top 10 on the ATP World Tour thanks to his runner-up performance at Rogers Cup in Montreal.
. Matt Carkner got back into the Ottawa lineup, and made his presence felt right away by settling his clubs score in a one-sided fight with Rangers forward Brian Boyle.Toronto, ON (SportsNetwork.com) - Jake Gardiner and Richard Panik scored 45 seconds apart late in the first period and Jonathan Bernier made 44 saves, as Toronto raced out to a four-goal lead then held on to beat Vancouver, 5-2, from Air Canada Centre. Peter Holland and Joffrey Lupul tallied early in the second to complete the burst and David Clarkson added a late marker for the Maple Leafs, who have won five of their last seven. Daniel Sedin and Christopher Tanev provided offense for the Canucks, who had recorded road wins against Pittsburgh and Washington but fell to 3-2 on their seven-game road trip. Ryan Miller was pulled after giving up four goals on 14 shots in almost 26 minutes. Eddie Lack finished up by halting all 13 Toronto chances for the remainder of the contest. Vancouver halved its deficit at 8:45 of the third period, when Tanevs deflection of a Linden Vey offering slid behind Bernier for a 4-2 game. The Canucks then hit two posts in the opening seconds of a power play after Panik was booked for interference and continued to buzz Bernier in hopes of getting back to a one-goal spread, but failed to score. Lack was pulled for an extra attacker with just over 2 1/2 minutes remaining before Clarkson hit the empty net a short time later to seal the outcome.
Montravius Adams Jersey
. The Leafs opened the scoring at 15:47 of the first period. Gardiners quick pass from the right-wing boards, intended for Holland, instead changed direction off a Vancouver player and got past Miller. Panik doubled the margin less than a minute later, using a stick fake to draw a Canucks defenseman and Miller out of position before sliding a backhander home. Holland struck to make it 3-0 for the Leafs, beating Miller high over the right shoulder from the left circle at 4:16 of the second. Toronto went up by four on Lupuls marker only 1:23 later. Daniel Sedin got one back for the Canucks with 4:39 to play in the stanza with an assist from brother Henrik. Game Notes Vancouver completes its sojourn with games in Ottawa on Sunday and at Montreal on Tuesday ... Toronto improved to 3-1-0 on its current five-game homestand which concludes on Tuesday against Calgary ... Berniers performance marked a season high for saves, besting his 38-stop effort on Nov. 14 against Pittsburgh in a 2-1 loss.

Our Geoparks
Stonehammer UNESCO Global Geopark
As North America's first Global Geopark, Stonehammer Geopark is about geology, but it is also about people, society and culture. Located in Southern New Brunswick on the East Coast of Canada we have a billion years of the Earth's history to share.
Our lives are shaped by the geology; where we settle, the landscape, the crops we grow, natural hazards, water resources, climate, what we mine, and the energy we use are all linked to geology.
With a landscape created by the collision of continents, the closing and opening of oceans, volcanoes, earth quakes, ice ages and climate change, Stonehammer Geopark also includes geological stories from late precambrian time a billion years ago to the most recent Ice Age, and almost everything in between.
Visit Stonehammer UNESCO Global Geopark Website
Tumbler Ridge UNESCO Global Geopark
The Tumbler Ridge Global Geopark is notable for its remote, wilderness location, giving visitors the authentic feeling of a sparsely inhabited frontier region.
It is the first Global Geopark in western North America, and therefore the first to represent the plate tectonics that have led to the formation of the Rocky Mountains.
Mountain and foothill geology spans a Precambrian to Cretaceous time range, as well as Pleistocene deposits, and preserves part of the Triassic Pangea shoreline, as well as the interchanging marine and terrestrial intervals of a fluctuating Western Interior Seaway.
This is complemented by an abundance of palaeontological phenomena, which form the basis for ongoing scientific research, exhibits and programs. Cretaceous dinosaur tracks (many of which are of global significance), a Cretaceous dinosaur bonebed with unusual features, and Triassic fishes and marine reptiles are of particular importance.

On Tuesday, Young America's Foundation assembled a gathering of top conservative activists and students at the Reagan Ranch to celebrate the anniversary of President Ronald Reagan's historic 1981 tax cut–the largest in American history. The event also focused on the victims of the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) targeting and harassment of conservative groups.
"Three decades after Ronald Reagan signed the historic 1981 Economic Tax Recovery Act, the ever-expanding role of the federal government continues to infringe upon the liberty of the people it governs," said Reagan Ranch Director and YAF Vice President Andrew Coffin. He said the event highlighted "what President Reagan knew: 'government is not the solution to the problem, government is the problem.'"
Speakers at the event included American Center for Law and Justice Executive Director Jordan Sekulow, Tea Party Patriots Co-Founder and National Coordinator Jenny Beth Martin, and Linchpins for Liberty President Kevin Kookogey.
"As we look at the most pressing issues facing our country today–the economy, Obamacare, the rogue IRS–we can turn to President Reagan's example for how to restore our Constitution," said Jenny Beth Martin. "We must stick to the principles of a constitutionally limited, fiscally responsible government and show Americans how great America can be with those principles."
President Reagan reflected that the only thing that would offer "long-suffering American taxpayers" greater relief than his historic bill would be "sending the Internal Revenue Service on a permanent holiday."
President Reagan signed the 1981 Economic Tax Recovery Act on August 13, 1981, at his beloved ranch, Rancho del Cielo.
In the spring of 1998, YAF stepped forward to save, purchase, and preserve the Reagan Ranch.

DOJ to reduce prison communications limits on 'American Taliban' Lindh
[JURIST] A spokesperson for the US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] said Wednesday that the DOJ will limit prison restrictions on John Walker Lindh [BBC profile; JURIST news archive], a California man known as the "American Taliban." Lindh is serving a 20-year sentence in an Indiana federal prison after pleading guilty [plea agreement] in 2002 to supplying services to the Taliban. DOJ spokesman Dean Boyd said certain restrictions on Lindh will be lifted [AP report] Friday. Boyd did not discuss the details of the restrictions, but Lindh's lawyer said [Los Angeles Times report] Lindh will be allowed to visit with more people.
After pleading guilty to a charge [indictment] of aiding the Taliban, Lindh repeatedly asked then-president George W. Bush to reduce his 20-year sentence. Bush declined [JURIST report] to do so. The Associated Press [media website] then sued the DOJ to gain access under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) [text] to Lindh's petition for commutation. In December, the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed [opinion, PDF; JURIST report] the lower court's ruling that Lindh's petition fell under a FOIA invasion-of-privacy exception and as such was not available to the public.

HOUSTON --Treasures, a strip club which has operated on Westheimer since 1995, is under fire from the city of Houston and Harris County for allegedly allowing everything from drug sales to prostitution to human trafficking to go on inside.
The county and city attorneys filed a suit Wednesday declaring Treasures a nuisance and seeking to have a permanent injunction against Treasures based on police reports of arrests made at the strip club dating back to 2008.
Treasures' lawyer flat out denied the allegation and says the business is being targeted because it has fought and won the right to operate in Houston without being classified as a sexually oriented business. Their lawyer predicts the case will be dismissed.

Online Interviewing: Why Body Language Means Everything
Don't bother ironing your slacks for your next job interview, because you probably won't need them. Now that employers have opted for virtual interviews, you can probably get away with looking professional from the waist up. That doesn't mean you're off the hook when it comes to body language, however.

Frequently asked questions:
How does the Guaranteed Financing Program work?
We have lenders that work with individuals with a variety of credit issues. Depending on the extent of your credit issues, you may be required to have a cash down payment up front. The amount that you are allowed to borrow will depend on your credit application. To determine your qualifications, simply fill out a credit application and we will get back to you within minutes! The terms of the loan allowed for the annual percentage rate will vary depending on your credit history.
Does buying a pre-owned vehicle really help me reestablish my credit ?
Yes, when checking with the credit bureau, many lending institutions look at automobile loans closer than any other type of loan (other than home loans) to verify your credit standing. Buying a car from a "buy here, pay here" lot that does not report to the credit reporting agency is simply not a good option because it does not help your credit record at all.

New York, NY – September 14, 2000 – Columbia-Presbyterian researchers report that rather than being completely 'hard wired', structures on one side of the brain can take over certain language functions normally achieved by a damaged region on the opposite side. The study, published in the September 2000 issue of the journal Neuropsychologia, may provide insights into the brain's compensatory responses to injury.
The brain is not a homogeneous structure—various brain functions are each performed by distinct, areas, so damage to a brain region can produce a specific and lasting functional difficulty in perception, thinking, or movement. Columbia-Presbyterian researchers report, however, that in the brains of three patients with chronic arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in the left frontal lobe, brain functions involved in speech production were successfully 'relocated'.
AVMs are chronic conditions thought to begin developing in utero and may begin causing brain problems, as evidenced by learning disabilities, in childhood. As adults, many AVM patients are asymptomatic and without noticeable deficits such as understanding language and producing speech, suggesting that their brains may have successfully adapted to any damage caused by the AVM.
"An AVM is a tangle of blood vessels in the brain. There's an abnormal connection between artery and vein; rather than passing smoothly through fine capillaries, blood rushes through the AVM, often at the expense of blood flow to the surrounding tissue," says Ronald M. Lazar, Ph.D., associate professor of neuropsychology at Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons and director of Columbia's Richard & Jenny Levine Cerebral Localization Laboratory.
Neuroradiologists and neurosurgeons often 'map' language functions to precise brain locations before undertaking an invasive procedure. In particular, surgeons planning to remove the blood supply to an AVM need to know whether permanently blocking a particular vessel will affect language comprehension or speech. By anesthesizing a small brain region while asking the patients questions (Wada testing), regions important for speech can be identified.
The position of a functional brain region and even the side of the brain that dominates during a particular task tend to be similar between individuals. In normal, right-handed individuals, a region of the left temporoparietal cortex, referred to as Wernicke's area, functions in understanding language. Likewise, a region of the left inferior frontal lobe known as Broca's area normally is necessary for producing speech.
In the three patients with AVMs within the left frontal lobe, Lazar and colleagues from the Departments of Neurology, Neurological Surgery, Radiology and Anesthesiology found that anesthesizing the left frontal lobe did not alter speech production as in normal subjects. This suggested that the function had relocated to another part of the brain. Anesthesizing Wernicke's area on the left side, had the usual effect of disrupting comprehension.
To test this idea, Lazar and the other researchers used a method called functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to visualize the brain regions activated as patients came up with lists of words. They found that, in contrast with normal, right-handed subjects, the areas activated were primarily in the right rather than left hemisphere. They also found activation in a small additional area of the left hemisphere not normally activated during language production." In essence understanding was controlled by the left side of the brain, and language expression was on the right, " says Dr. Lazar.
Reorganization may follow damage to other regions, as well. "In cases of hemorrhage near large AVMs, a deficit is often not as extreme as would be expected from the size of the hemorrhage," Dr. Lazar pointed out, "We think that displacements [of brain function] are fairly common in people with AVMs." If brain reorganization in AVM patients is as common as the researchers suspect, Lazar suggested, "embolization–stemming the abnormal blood flow with a special glue–to treat AVM may be somewhat less risky than previously thought."
On the basis of their findings, Lazar also suggested that neuroradiologists and neurosurgeons consider extending brain function studies using Wada testing near the AVM with alternative techniques such as fMRI applied to the side of the brain opposite the AVM.
It is not known whether brain re-organization after a stroke follows the same patterns as that seen in AVM. Nevertheless, studies of AVM patients may provide insights into long-term compensatory mechanisms possibly active in other neurological diseases.
The research was supported in part by the National Institute of Neurologic Disease and Stroke and by the Doris and Stanley Tananbaum Foundation.

How the medical community fails when delivering a Down syndrome diagnosis
Your ears burn. Your eyes water. You cannot believe you just heard an experienced medical professional utter such an insensitive, ignorant comment. Parents who have received a Down syndrome diagnosis at birth share their stories.
Some of these stories from real moms show we have a long way to go in offering compassion and support when families need it most.
Giving birth is emotionally and physically taxing when everything goes smoothly. For families who learn after birth that their child has Down syndrome, a medical professional's word choice, tone of voice and body language have tremendous impact — and too often, can make a difficult situation even more stressful.
Lisa's experience nearly 25 years ago offers a look back at a time when society — and doctors — reacted with less acceptance of a newborn with Down syndrome.
She describes the neonatologists speaking with her husband first, and alone. "They suggested that we place [our son] in a home or institution. [They] went as far to tell [my husband] they could put us in contact with someone to assist us. David told them basically thanks but no thanks. Zach was our son and he would be going home with us."
Sarah shares the shock of learning her daughter's diagnosis in the middle of the night from doctors speaking in hushed tones while her husband was sleeping just feet away.
"At the very end, my husband woke up, but he was out of it. Why didn't I wake him? [I'm] not sure, but I blame the exhaustion, shock and fear."
Positive experiences
Susanna's son is now 26, and her experience at his birth illustrates a sensitive approach from the same generation of physicians that advised Lisa to institutionalize her son.
"The doctor who approached us said… 'I want to tell you the good news first: You have a healthy baby boy. But I also need to say that we need to test him for Down syndrome.'"
She and her husband felt fortunate because the news came quickly, the doctor used first-person language and he began by focusing on a positive.
Beth was still in recovery when she learned of her child's diagnosis. "My [labor and delivery] nurse sat with me, hugged me tight, and we both cried. She was the most comforting 'stranger' I've ever known. I'll never forget her."
Paying it forward
Terri Leyton is program director of the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Charlotte, North Carolina. In 2012, she helped launch the association's First Call program, which trains parents to effectively support or counsel new parents who have just received either a prenatal or at-birth diagnosis of Down syndrome.
She and her husband learned of their own daughter's Down syndrome diagnosis years earlier in what she describes now as a "textbook" manner.
After sitting down in Terri's hospital room, her OB shared his suspicion that her daughter had Down syndrome. "My OB then gave me something to hope on. She said that people with Down syndrome can live independently. For example, she had a 25-year-old patient who lived on her own.
"Now, here I am working toward the goal of having every diagnosis given be as 'textbook' as mine. There are days when I want to call that OB and ask her where she got her training and thank her for a job well done."
Delivering facts with the diagnosis
Charlotte's "Parents' First Call program," modeled after the Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress's program, seeks to provide expectant or new parents with unbiased, accurate information about Down syndrome by connecting them with trained individuals. That means up-to-date information on what people with Down syndrome can and often do accomplish.
When Brandi learned of her daughter's diagnosis, she remembers several doctors focused on informing her about what her daughter would be unable to do.
"I distinctly remember one saying that she probably won't walk until around 18 months," Brandi shares. Her response? "She's only a day old?! Challenge accepted."
Society's more accepting nature and medical professionals' increased diversity education perhaps have eliminated the knee-jerk advice by doctors to institutionalize a child with Down syndrome. But a lack of sensitivity may be a timeless and insurmountable challenge to ensuring parents receive a fair, compassionate and accurate diagnosis.
Time offers clarity
For some parents, reflecting on the discovery brings clarity and a wistfulness.
Before she had even seen her newborn daughter, Sandy heard the neonatal nurse practitioner say, "I wanted to tell you her vitals are fine but based on our physical assessment, we suspect she has Down syndrome."
"[There was] no emotion," Sandy remembers. "The first words I spoke to my daughter were, 'Yes, you do have it.' And from then on all I could see was the Ds."
Today, Sandy's daughter is 10 months old. "Looking back at pictures and video of the birth, I realize just how beautiful and perfect she really was," she shares. "I wish I would've seen that then."
A doctor's lasting impact
In a blog post titled, "On the Night You Were Born," Jill Wagoner records her memories for her son, Cooper, about the very first perspective their doctor shared about Coopie's future.
"I will never forget him sitting down in the rocking chair, calm and casual and saying in no uncertain terms, as if it was the most certain thing he ever knew... that you would be the coolest kid.
"He told us that you would do well, be loving, fulfill our lives and surprise us in many ways. He was so absolutely sure that it would all be OK.
"I don't think he will ever truly realize what that small amount of time and simple words did for your dad and I."

|BULUSAN VOLCANO BULLETIN 01 November 2016 8:00 A.M.
|Tuesday, 01 November 2016 07:36
Bulusan Volcano's seismic monitoring network recorded three (3) volcanic earthquakes during the past 24 hours. Steaming activity could not be observed due to thick clouds covering the summit. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission was measured at an average of 148 tonnes/day on October 26, 2016. Precise leveling data obtained on October 17-23, 2016 indicated inflationary changes of the edifice relative to August 2016. Inflation was also recorded by continuous GPS measurements as of 30 September 2016, indicating pressurization beneath the volcano edifice.
Alert Level 1 (abnormal) remains in effect over Bulusan Volcano. This indicates that hydrothermal processes are underway beneath the volcano that may lead to steam-driven or phreatic eruptions. Local government units and the public are reminded that entry into the 4-kilometer radius Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) is strictly prohibited and that vigilance in the Extended Danger Zone (EDZ) must be exercised due to the increased possibilities of sudden and hazardous phreatic eruptions. Civil aviation authorities must also advise pilots to avoid flying close to the volcano's summit as ash from any sudden phreatic eruption can be hazardous to aircraft. Furthermore, people living within valleys and along river/stream channels especially on the southeast, southwest and northwest sector of the edifice should be vigilant against sediment-laden stream flows and lahars in the event of heavy and prolonged rainfall. DOST-PHIVOLCS is closely monitoring Bulusan Volcano's condition and any new development will be communicated to all concerned stakeholders.

A scarf isn't the most popular clothing but it has its uses. The scarf could serve as a protection against extreme cold weather conditions or it could serve as an accessory to one's outfit. If knotted in the right way, a scarf will add class and charm to one's personality and will have one feeling like 'Pablo Escobar'.
There are various ways to tie a scarf for men which will depict class and get one looking like a gentleman.
Check out these four ways to tie a scarf for men;
- The City Slicker
Knotting a scarf in this manner will keep one looking as stylish as they come. Fold the scarf in half length and place it around your neck. Pull the loose end through the loop created by the fold and adjust it to fit around your neck properly.
- The Sophisticate
Knotting a scarf in this manner will definitely have one looking classy. Place the scarf around your neck leaving one end to be longer than the other. Wrap the longer end around your neck once or twice to make it align with the shorter end.
- The Ivy Leaguer
As classy as they come; knotting a tie in this manner will have one looking like an ivy leaguer. Place the scarf around your neck and cross both ends so that it forms a 'V-shape'. You could then tuck it into under the lapel or over the blazer. This style is worn majorly with Tuxedos, Blazers or Sweatshirts.
- The Jet Setter
The jet setter is one of the most common ways to tie a scarf. Place the scarf around your neck making one end short and the other long. Place the longer end across the front of your neck and allow it to hang over your shoulder leaving the shorter end to be visible.
When next you are looking to tie a scarf, you could try any of these methods and see how classy it will make you look.

The best schools in the United States for Cinematography and Film Production focus on cinematography, film work and the various aspects of the film industry as it relates to television, movie and other film productions. A degree from one of these top ten schools can help the student to secure a position in the film industry but is certainly not a guarantee of success.
The degree programs offered by New York University in New York City include both graduate and undergraduate degree programs at the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television. Special programs and non-credit certificates are also offered at NYU.
University of Southern California Los Angeles offers bachelor's, master's and doctorate degree programs through their school of cinematic arts. They also offer minor degrees and additional programs to compliment a degree.
A bachelor's degree and master's degree are part of the degree programs offered at American University in Washington, D.C. These degree programs are specifically aimed for film and video production or just film and video.
The programs offered by The American Film Institute (AFI) include a variety of programs that are not degree centered. AFI has programs that benefit not only students of the arts but also those working currently in the industry. AFI has strict application standards and researching this institute thoroughly is necessary for the student's success.
California Institute of the Arts offers a bachelor's of fine arts degree as well as a master's of fine arts degree in the areas of film and video, directing and animation.
A bachelor's degree, master's degree and a master's of fine arts degree are available through the Columbia University School of the Arts. Similar to other universities, Columbia holds a film festival showcasing their students' work.
The degree program offered by The North Carolina School of the Arts is a bachelor's of fine arts in film making and includes work in cinematography, directing and producing.
A bachelor's degree and master's degree are part of the programs offered at San Francisco State University. The student pursuing a degree here can attain a bachelor's or master's degree in cinema or they can obtain a master's of fine arts in cinema studies.
Film Study at the University of Texas at Austin provides students with both a bachelor's program and a master's of fine arts program in production and screenwriting.
The University of California, Los Angeles is know for its degree programs in film, television and digital media with emphasis in the area the student would like to focus. UCLA offers both undergraduate and graduate programs including a doctorate program in cinema and media studies.
Having a degree in film can give an advantage to a student seeking a job however to use that edge to the best advantage be sure that the degree comes from a school that is taken seriously like these top ten schools. Primary qualifications for being a top school include the length of time the school has been around, the actual achievements and experience of the professors and the credentials the school has to offer. It's important to note previous student success as this is a fair indicator of how well the school achieves its results.
Pursuing a degree in cinematography and film production can be a rewarding and successful career if the student has dedication, done their research and possesses the right talent and skills.

The FBI wasn't playing games when it arrested two men for trying to peddle fake video game machines and software. It is game over for Rodolfo Rodriguez Cabrera, a Cuban national, and Henry Mantilla, of Cape Coral, Florida. The FBI goes to great lengths to get its man – Cabrera was arrested in Riga, Latvia where he owned and operated a company called FE Electronic. Mantilla's part of the scheme included ownership and operation of a company in Florida called Southeast Gaming.
Cabrera and Mantilla are charged with producing and selling counterfeit International Game Technology (IGT) video gaming slot machines and counterfeit software. The perpetrators could get 45 years in jail and to add insult to injury, they could also be fined more than $5.25 million. Currently they're being charged with one count of conspiracy, two counts of trafficking in counterfeit goods, two counts of trafficking in counterfeit labels and two counts of criminal copyright infringement. They are in trouble for making copies of IGT video gaming machine computer programs that weren't authorized by the named company. They allegedly put counterfeit IGT labels on their programs, put them into IGT gaming machine cabinets, then sold the programs and machines through their FE Electronic and Southeast Gaming companies. IGT owns the trademark and copyright and had not given permission to Cabrera or Mantilla to use them.
As a piece or irony, the indictment alleges they sold IGT-marked software programs in Las Vegas. IGT, who manufactures and markets computerized gaming equipment, such as automated casino games, is based in Reno Nevada. If you are going to counterfeit electronic devices and programs, it would be wise to avoid anything that could involve the gaming industry. Las Vegas doesn't take kindly to interlopers in their back yard.

When: March 15-April 30 2013
In January I got a peek at the new, $13.5 million Encounter Africa exhibit at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo (4250 Cheyenne Mountain Zoo Road, cmzoo.org). I walked the fancy sky bridge, spied the black rhino, and watched elephants throw sand over themselves in the impressive new elephant barn. Fun stuff. And now you can check it out during the work-in-progress preview that runs through April 30, prior to more features like a 20-foot waterfall and elephant pool opening. We're still on winter hours, which means 9 to 5 (last admission at 4), and off-season admission prices ($7.25 to $14.25). — Matthew Schniper

We have good intentions to get at our tax returns and get them filed on time. But sometimes before we know it, the filing deadline has passed. But at what cost?
Based on rates in effect for the second quarter of 2013, if you file your tax return late and owe funds to CRA, you will be charged at two levels:
These amounts could double if you have filed late in prior years.
Even if you cannot pay the total amount owing by April 30, you should at least file your return. This will eliminate the 1% per month portion of the penalty.
It is important to note that the 5% rate is part of CRA's prescribed interest rates, which are set quarterly. All historical rates can be found on the CRA website.
Note too, that CRA will credit interest on tax refunds, with the calculation starting on the latest of:
The interest rate for credits is part of CRA's prescribed interest rates. As of the second quarter of 2013, the credit rate is 3%, compounded daily. Should you receive credit interest, it is taxable in the year of receipt.
Even if you anticipate a refund, you are strongly advised to file your return on time. In the event your return is reassessed in the future, resulting in you owing tax, the filing date will be reviewed and you could be subject to late filing penalties on the new amounts owing.

Kahlua sounds like a wonderful little girl. I hope she finds a wonderful loving forever home soon.
At the Maple Ridge BCSPCA:
Spayed female. 40 kg. House trained & okay with dogs.
"Kahlua was surrendered after her owner was unable to care for her any longer. She lived as a constant companion with her previous owner and they were rarely apart. She would love for her new family to be home often and have lots of time for her. Being a Lab she is high energy and needs lots of activity to keep her happy. She absolutely will play a game of fetch any day and any time! She loves any toy she can get her paws or mouth on. She is good with other dogs, we are unsure of cats but she may be ok if properly introduced. She is good with new people but has not had much time around children. She is very excitable and jumpy still. We are recommending a home with dog savvy kids over 10 years. Kahlua is a strong girl, not suitable for a frail guardian. She pulls on leash however we have fitted her with an easy walk harness and she is making good progress. She is house broken and a very intelligent girl eager to learn more commands and tricks."
Kahlua sounds like a wonderful little girl. I hope she finds a wonderful loving forever home soon.

She's already off the adoption page which means she's been adopted! I don't know if I should post available labs here anymore. They get adopted so quickly!
post away it always brightens my day to know that an innocent baby has found a loving forever home.
That's all the encouragement I need, lol.
In my province, the SPCA used to get a lot of puppies but not anymore. This past year, I've noticed a significant number of small (senior) dogs. The majority of the dogs are large though, mostly mixes of pit bulls, shepherds, huskies, and labs. A lot of them aren't good with other dogs, so when there's a purebred-looking lab who's social & simply exuberant, adoption happens quickly.
The Rescue thread looked pretty inactive so I thought I'd post to it. It's starting to look like a BC rescue board! BC doesn't have a lab rescue group like Ontario does so...
Someone stop me if it looks too spammy!
I have noticed a lot more then I care to see, seniors in several of our local shelters and pittie mixes too.

Web Watch
Online ad sales have become a fairly good barometer of how the Internet is doing as an industry. In the early days of the Web, it was considered acceptable, if not necessary, to build an Internet-based business with the anticipation that advertising and sponsorships would eventually follow the eyeballs onto your Web site. The basic problem was there were many more Web sites than advertising dollars to support them, and it took only a few years for the bubble to burst.
Things have changed quite a bit in the past 10 years. The Interactive Advertising Bureau reports that online ad spending reached $12.5 billion in 2005, a 30% increase over 2004 levels. The research and consulting firm, Parks Associates, projects this number will hit $23.5 billion by 2010. The Internet, as an industry, is now doing quite well.
Companies like Ford, General Motors and Absolut Vodka plan to spend 20% of their total advertising budgets online this year. Market research firm eMarketer estimates that $15.6 billion will be spent on online advertising in the US this year. While ad budgets in general are up only 4% on average in 2006, marketers are putting money previously allocated to newspapers, magazines and television in the Internet.
The money is finally following the eyeballs.
If you were to look at how these Internet advertising dollars are spent, you would find that keyword search advertising represents 41% of the market, and display advertising totals 34%. About 46% of the display advertising deals are based on cost-per-thousand impressions, and 41% of Internet advertising deals are still based on cost-per-click or cost-per-transaction.
It can be argued that Web advertising still isn't getting the share of advertising it deserves. However, with better targeting, lower costs and a much better feel for advertising ROI, the future looks bright.

The long-awaited RØDE Rødelink Newsshooter Kit hit the market a few weeks ago after being announced way back in 2015. A sibling to the popular RødeLink Filmmaker Kit, the Newsshooter model offers a whole fistful of useful features – literally. As a one-man shooter working mostly in an Electronic News Gathering, there is one thing that I demand from all my kit: flexibility. In regards to audio, you may need to tap into the audio feed of a news conference, do a quick Piece to Camera quickly followed by a live transmission, you may get an extra guest on air at the last minute, or you may need to grab some quick Vox Pops in a busy environment. These are all situations that demand different solutions and, depending on what you have available to you, could mean carrying a lot of different equipment. This is why I was keeping a close eye on the release of the RØDE RødeLink Newsshooter Kit ever since it was announced last year. While the receiver (RX) is identical to the one in RØDE's previous Filmmaker Kit, the RØDE RødeLink Newsshooter Kit offers a transmitter unit (TX) that works with both XLR and 3.5mm sources. This means that you can plug in a handheld dynamic mic or switch to a lavalier with the push of a button, without the need for a special TX for each microphone. The RodeLink Newsshooter Kit is compatible with mics with XLR, TS and TRS connections. The 3.5mm port on the TX can provide Plug-In Power, as well as 48V Phantom Power via XLR. This is great for using condenser microphones such as shotgun directional mics, meaning you can forget about the dangling XLR screwing up your boom sound. Clearly, this benefits any kind of shooting in which boom mics are used, not only newsgathering environments. Another great feature of the RØDE RødeLink Newsshooter Kit is the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack on the TX. This allows a reporter to monitor the audio they're capturing, for example to keep the interviewee within the pickup range of the microphone. Nice! Micro USB and headphone ports on the TX. I had already been working with the Filmmaker Kit for about a year before I got my hands on the Newsshooter Kit, and I was always very pleased with its sound quality. Its 2.4 GHz digital transmission technology means that you can use the RødeLink system worldwide, without having to worry about accidentally entering restricted radio frequencies. Although, in theory, this technology should exhibit dropouts in busy digital signal environments — such as a city centre with thousands of WiFi networks — I have never experienced any problems: the system automatically hops across different frequencies to find the best one. I was happy to see that the new RØDE RødeLink Newsshooter Kit shares not only this impeccable sound quality and usable range (approximately 100m) with its older sibling, but also the incorporation of a micro-USB for powering via a standard power bank. Another great feature is the option to power the TX with a standard Sony-style NP-F battery, greatly increasing the battery life over AAs. The RodeLink Newsshooter Kit can be powered with the AA caddy or Sony NP-F style batteries. Unfortunately, the Newsshooter Kit also shares what I believe to be the RødeLink system's greatest fault: size and ruggedness. The units are built out of plastic and are rather large, especially when compared to some of the competition. Don't get me wrong, I have never had any problems with these units… But it does feel that the kind of accident that would only dent a metal unit would likely crack the RødeLink. Rubberised corners on the corners of the RodeLink Newsshooter Kit TX That said, the new TX on the RØDE Newsshooter Kit does feature rubberised corners which, along with the unit's heft, gives it at least a little bit more of a rugged feel. Add to that the faux leather case and belt clip for the TX (90's Nokia phone cover, anyone?) and it does feel like it could at least take a bit of abuse from even the clumsiest talent… But look at how big it is! One comment about the cover, though: I was looking forward to seeing how RØDE would provide a belt clip solution, as I had seen from product images that this wasn't integrated on the body as with the TX unit on the Filmmaker Kit. I was glad when I opened the box and saw the cover, although the clip creates a problem: it makes the 3.5mm mic port point down, meaning the lav cable has to loop back up to reach the talent. Since this could create problems when used with shorter lav cables, I think it would have made more sense to have the mic come out the top when clipped to your belt. All in all, I am very happy with the RØDE RødeLink Newsshooter Kit. Sure, it may not be the sleekest product around, but having a flexible solution that allows you to wirelessly mic almost any situation, as well as being able to wirelessly tap into a sound desk at a press conference or event, makes this a truly versatile tool for any kind of shooting. Add to that its superb sound quality, power options, reliability and price when compared to the competition, and you can see why the RØDE RødeLink Newsshooter really is a no-brainer for one-man shooters looking for ultimate flexibility. Have you had any experiences with the RødeLink system from RØDE? How would YOU rate it against the competition? Let us know in the comments below!Read more

Rode show us their new wireless mic transmission kit: the RodeLink Newsshooter. It will be available to purchase later this month. The RodeLink Newsshooter kit gives wireless capabilities to all handheld microphones, transmitting digitally over 2.4GHz back to the RX-CAM receiver. Microphone inputs come in the form of locking XLR or TRS, for use with mics such as the NTG1 and NTG4+, as well as lavalier and headset microphones too. Features also include a headphone output on the transmitter that allows boom operators or reporters to monitor the audio levels while using the device. Both the transmitter and receiver pair almost instantly without having to input a frequency band, which makes using multiple devices very easy. The transmitter can be powered by AA batteries, but also accepts the commonly used NP-F type batteries, which increase its operation life significantly. The RodeLink Newsshooter kit with the receiver will be shipping at the end of the month, both as a transmitter-receiver kit and as a single unit, and available to purchase from CVP from £409.00 and B&H from $499.00. Would the RodeLink Newsshooter kit solve wireless microphone problems for you? Let us know in the comments.Read more

Audio accessory manufacturer Røde introduced a lot of new products for indie filmmakers at this year's IBC. In fact CEO Ryan Burke told us it was their biggest product launch to date. We reported about the new Røde i-XLR, a little box that turns your iPhone into a quality audio recorder a two weeks ago. Ryan showed us the following: RodeLink Newsshooter Kit This is a wireless mic kit for cameras with hot-shoes (like DSLR's and Mirrorless cameras) that connects to an XLR adapter for reporter style handheld mics. The really nice thing about this one is that on top of being powered with two AA batteries it can be used with widely available Sony NPF batteries that are probably already part of your kit. This one goes for $499 (LINK) VideoMicro You're probably familiar with Røde's popular VideoMic Series. The VideoMicro is an ultra-small version of this. This looks like a great, affordable way to easily enhance the built-in audio of your mirrorless camera. It uses Rycote's shockmount technology which is proven to be very convenient as it's sturdy yet cancel's noise effectively. Also nice, this mic doesn't need any power. The VideoMicro costs $59 (LINK) VideoMic Me This one is also a great idea. The same tech as the VideoMicro but designed for iPhone, iOS and Android devices to improve audio shot on your phones on the go. This one has no price yet, I suppose it's gonna cost a little less than the Micro. LINK Micro Boompole Besides their new Boompole Pro, they introduced the Micro Boompole which intrigued me. Together with the VideoMicro this is the smallest boom audio kit I've seen. Granted you probably won't achieve many things you'd get as a pro with a pro boom, especially the microphone will be inferior to professional directional mics used on your filmsets, but this one could cater to a niche audience for special situations where high quality audio isn't critical, but lightweight and affordable is. Costs $99 (LINK)Read more

Røde has released two new microphones as well as a new wireless system. Starting with the RodeLink, an affordable wireless system operating on the 2.4GHz band for use with cameras and DSLRs. The two new microphones are an update to the NTG1/2s, the NTG 4 and NTG 4+ offer an enhanced capsule, high frequency boost and USB charging. The RodeLink, like many wireless systems, is made up of two devices, the transmitter and receiver. Both have a built in belt clip for ease of mounting and the receiver also has a removable shoe mount to connect directly to the camera of your choice. Threaded 3.5mm jack connections provided a locked connection for both your lavalier microphone and output on the receiver end; further security is added through the feature of locking buttons to prevent accidents when mounting to a talents belt for example. The transmitter also exhibits a nice slide design that hides the lock and 3 stage gain adjustment. The OLED screen look on the receiver of the RodeLink is a nice feature, offering quick channel information via one touch pairing, it also has a mute override as well as battery information for both devices, ensuring the user remains in control of both signal and power. Speaking of power, two AA batteries in either device takes care of the RodeLink, which is further backed up by input via micro USB ports. The 2.4GHz band is good for 100M range, sending 24bit 44.1 kHz digital transmission over a 128-bit encrypted signal. This is different to usual UHF wireless packs that we're are perhaps more familiar with (Sennheiser and Sony being long adapters of this), there's pros and cons for both, check out some more info on that here. The Rode NTG 4 and NTG 4+ arrive to sit in just above the NTG 1/ 2 entry-level microphones. Featuring a new and improved capsule, the NTG 4 and 4+ will offer superior sound with a couple of additional features. Most notable is the migration of physical switches to press buttons. These no doubt give the mic and updated look, but some filmmakers who enjoy their creature comforts may scoff at the fact that their best used settings get forgotten. Not to worry however, the NTG 4 and NTG 4+ will always remember the last settings used. One press buttons with a green LED light ensure quick and easy use, activating popular -10db and high pass features as well as a new high frequency boost function that is designed for use with blimp or wind socks. The NTG 4+ is exactly the same from a capsule point of view, yet physically longer to accommodate a new rechargeable battery system. The NTG 4+ receives power input via micro USB hidden between the pins of the XLR input. The battery offers up to 150 hours phantom power and can charge in as little as 2 hours. Despite their superior numeric title, the NTG 4 and NTG 4+ will reside under the RODE NTG 3 in the product line. Here are some specs for the NTG 4 and 4+ Super-cardioid Directional Pattern Frequency Range – 20 to 20,000 Hz (selectable HPF at 75 Hz) Sensitivity -32 dB re 1V/Pa (25 mV at 94 dB SPL) ± 2 dB at 1,000 Hz. 200 ohm Output Impedance Equivalent Noise – 16 dBA SPL (per IEC651) Maximum Output – 7 dBu (at 1 kHz, 1% THD into 1 kOhm) Dynamic Range -119 dB (per IEC651) Maximum SPL – 135 dB Signal to Noise Ratio – 78 dB SPL (per IEC651) Output Connection – 3-pin XLR, balanced output between Pin 2 (+), Pin 3 (-) and Pin 1 (ground) NTG 4 Dimensions 0.87 x 8.86″ (22.00 x 225.00 mm) Weight 4.44 oz (126.00 g) NTG 4+ Battery – 150 hours of phantom power on a 2-hour charge Dimensions 0.87 x 10.94″ (22.00 x 278.00 mm) Weight 6.21 oz (176.00 g)Read more

Love is in the air!
…and if there is one thing we love on BN, it's LOVE!
2011 has been a great year on the Nigerian entertainment and fashion scene. It seems as though this streak of success has extended beyond the stage and into the homes of our beloved celebrities as well.
Engagements, weddings, babies and so much more!
Without much ado, BN turns the spotlight on 5 of our favourite "Young, Famous & In Love" Nigerian celebrity couples.
Hauwa Mukan & Keziah Jones
Neo-Soul musician, Keziah Jones and Smooth FM Radio On-Air Personality/Stylist/Footwear Designer, Hauwa Mukan make our list of "Young, Famous & In Love" celebrity couples. We have spotted the duo at various art-house, music and fashion events over the last year. We love their perfectly in-sync quirky style and we cannot wait for their wedding in 2012.
Sarah Ofili & Ikechukwu Onunaku
From their steamy on-stage antics at the AY show in London last year to their romantic tweets, rapper Ikechukwu and model/entrepreneur Sarah Ofili are not afraid to express their love. When we spotted Ikechukwu and Sarah on the red carpet at the P-Square Invasion concert a few months ago, we wrote "Dear Killz and Sarah, we eagerly await the BN Wedding xx Team BN" and as you probably know, our wish came true! Rapper Killz popped the question on Sarah's birthday in October 2011. Check out that rock!
Adaeze & Joseph Yobo
Now, the married folk! After a whirlwind romance, beauty queen Adaeze and Footballer Joseph Yobo tied the knot at the very beginning of 2010. Since then, their family has been blessed with a +1, their son Joey and then they moved to Turkey where Super Eagles Captain Joseph plays with 2010/2011 Süper Lig champions, Fenerbahçe.
Nicole Chukwueke & Naeto C
The Super C has enjoyed tremendous success this year – from performances in numerous countries all over the world to hit singles including his most recent hit, "5 & 6″. Model/"Ours by Juliada" Beauty Entrepreneur Nicole Chukwueke and Naeto C made their first (and only) red carpet appearance at the 2010 MTV Africa Music Awards in Lagos. Since then the couple have kept a very low profile though it was recently confirmed that they will be getting married in the New Year.
Stephanie & Kalu Uche
This couple kept their relationship strictly under wraps until their intimate wedding in Port Harcourt earlier this year. Now, beauty queen/actress Stephanie and her footballer beau Kalu Uche are the proud parents of a baby girl.
Love comforteth like sunshine after rain
