It provides players with the ability to switch between different synthetic formulas, avoiding the problem of conflicts caused by the player's current formula being used by multiple synthetic tables. Players can click the switch button on the synthesis interface to select different synthetic products from the list that appears.
When the player installs a large number of modules in the game, the composition table conflict is a frequent problem. The module is dedicated to solving this problem. When the composition table conflicts, the player can choose the Item that needs to be synthesized among multiple composable Item.
A module that solves formula conflicts in multi-module games, which allows players to choose from a variety of composable Item.
The module provides an alternative solution that allows all possible synthesis methods and firing Item formulations to coexist without considering conflicts.

I have one son, who is now a teenager. When he was little, I would always sit him down and explain to him why what he did was wrong, if he repeated it I would take away privledges, make him write an essay on why what he did was wrong or ground him. Nothing more was ever needed.
Different ones for each of them depending on what they did. Always good to keep them on edge,never knowing how they gonna be punished. That way they can't plan 4 it. Lol.

Blending Past with Present
Change is never easy, and that's especially true for college athletic programs jumping to a higher division. Competition gets stiffer, crowds are bigger and facilities must be upgraded to accommodate the growth.
Sometimes that creates a whole new identity.
Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva, Oklahoma, is in the final year of its transition to NCAA Division II from the NAIA. Ryan Kaiser, associate director of athletics, describes the cultural shift as one that's brought a lot of excitement to campus, but the road has been a long one. After preparing and adjusting to life in Division II for more than three years, the Rangers are close to taking the full plunge.Programs making this type of move are permitted to compete against Division II teams, but they're subjected to a three-year probationary period before they are postseason eligible. The Rangers become full members beginning in September 2015.
"That's been the carrot or light at the end of the tunnel in this process," Kaiser said.
Among the improvements are modifications to the university's facilities, where campus officials hope to create an environment better suited for its future ambitions. At the same time, they want to recognize the Rangers' rich history, which includes national championships and individual standouts.
There was a way to achieve this, and the university reached out to BigSigns.com to make its idea become a reality. One of its most recent projects was decorating the weight room walls with images paying homage to the university's athletic program.
"We wanted to put our brand on it and worked with football staff and athletic administration to come up with a concept of what we wanted to do," Kaiser said. "We basically looked through all our athletic stuff and wanted to blend the past with the present, adding old faces with some new faces as we make the transition."
That's where it all started, with staff and administration working together on a theme for the upgraded facilities. Kaiser said coaches were encouraged to provide input on what they wanted to see in their respective areas, but the program wanted the "past and present" theme to echo across campus. Northwestern Oklahoma State had a lot of success in the NAIA, and the university didn't want to brush that aside.
Kaiser said BigSigns.com did a remarkable job taking the ideas and bringing them to life, with graphics and skins that now adorn several of the university's walls. The project didn't come with many challenges but it still required significant care and precision to make sure everything went according to plan. When you're dealing with banners, graphics or other signs, that means measurements must be spot on.
"When you're trying to measure an entire room you can't be off by a whole lot," Kaiser said. "Some of the challenges were figuring out how to divide up a room. In the fieldhouse, there are walls that come out and we have to figure out how to navigate around that area."
Northwestern Oklahoma State didn't have much trouble financing the project, which typically becomes an issue for athletic programs embarking on major renovations. Kaiser said the school sits in the middle of an oil rich region of Oklahoma, and some of those profits have found their way to the university in the form of gifts.
Projects still pending include a $2.6 million press box and at the end of the football season new athletic turf will be installed at the stadium. The plan is to have everything completed in time for the program's full transition in Division II next fall.
Those pieces of the project that have been finished are already impressing student-athletes. Kaiser said the biggest impact is recruiting, with prospective athletes now able to visit upgraded facilities that are a lot more impressive than outdated weight rooms and locker rooms.
These types of projects are never easy, but Kaiser said the support and contributions the department received from the community and those in the athletic program helped move things along smoothly.
That's undoubtedly important in renovations, but Kaiser cautions other schools underdoing similar projects to ask questions and develop an overall theme, especially when it comes to graphics and signage that will be seen by everyone in the athletic program.
"There are so many different types of projects out there and each one is unique," he said. "Develop a comprehensive theme. We wanted to honor those who came before us, but we also wanted to recognize that we're headed in a new direction and there is light at the end of the tunnel."

A new opinion poll on the fortunes of the candidates for next year's presidential elections released on Thursday morning by ANAP foundation shows Peter Obi of labour party holding a significant lead over both Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the ruling APC and Atiku Abubakar of the opposition PDP.
In the nationwide poll conducted this month, Peter Obi stands at 21% while both Tinubu and Atiku are tied in second place with 13% each. Kwankwanso of the NNPP is at a distant fourth with only 3%.
ANAP foundation has traditionally organized political opinion polls ahead of each of the presidential elections since 2011 and are conducted by front line polling company, NOI polls. Thursday's earthshaking poll results were released by ANAP's founder Atedo Peterside.
He said this recent nationwide opinion poll was concluded in early September 2022 with each of the respondent asked the same question, "suppose the presidential election is being conducted today, who are you likely to vote for."
According to a statement personally signed by Peterside, "the poll revealed a substantially close race between Mr. Peter Obi of Labour Party (LP), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the People's Democratic Party (PDP).
"Running significantly behind the leading pack is Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) who is the lone outsider. All other contestants polled results that are statistically insignificant.
"The results showed a significant lead for Mr. Peter Obi with 21% of voters proposing to vote for him if the presidential election were to be conducted today; and 13% each proposing to vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar who are both tied in second place. Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso was a distant fourth with 3% of voters proposing to vote for him.
"Mr. Peter Obi's 8 percentage point lead at this early stage is significant, but not sufficient to separate him completely from a leading pack of candidates scoring 21%, 13% and 13% respectively.
"Undecided voters and those who prefer not to reveal their preferred candidate add up to a whopping 32% and 15% respectively. The gender split of undecided voters shows that 39% of women are undecided versus 27% of male voters."
The percentage of registered voters among the respondents is as follows in each of the zones – 99% in the North East, 90% in the South, the North Central and the North West respectively. The lowest registered voter percentages were in the South East with 88% and the South West with 85%.
When asked if respondents were aware of the various candidates vying for the Presidency, data gathered showed that 99% of the respondents were aware of Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the APC, 98% were aware of Atiku Abubakar of the PDP, 95% were aware of Peter Obi of LP and 74% were aware of Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso of the NNPP. All other candidates scored below 55% in terms of name recognition.
Furthermore, the data from the wide-ranging poll summarizes top five reasons why voters are more inclined to vote in the forthcoming elections, these include: – the need to tackle insecurity (45%), the Economy (20%), Education (9%), Unemployment (7%) and Poverty alleviation (4%).
According to the results, 46% of the respondents said they want to see their preferred presidential candidates participate in a televised interview and/or debate, with the interview/debates spanning across topics like their party manifestos, issues of Security, Economy, Education, Job Creation, Healthcare and Agriculture amongst others.
According to the statement by ANAP foundation, "it is worthy of note that 69% of those aged 18-25, 76% of those aged 26-35, 77% of those aged 36-45, 87% of those aged 46-60 and 89% of those aged 61+ responded saying that they would definitely vote in the coming elections.

"The age groups that expressed the greatest willingness to vote were those between 46-60 and 61+ years. On average, the Poll shows that almost 8 in 10 registered voters are absolutely certain that they would be voting in the next presidential election. If they stay committed, then we could witness a huge turnout in the February 2023 elections.
"Furthermore, Peter Obi led the pack in virtually all the age categories i.e., his leadership was not confined to the youths only.
"While these Poll results show some significant trends, it is key to note that the battle ahead lies in the hands of the undecided/swing voters, as it appears they would ultimately decide which candidate takes the lead to emerge as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the 2023 presidential elections."
The statement concluded that "in summary, our September 2022 Polls are inconclusive in terms of establishing a clear winner, as the undecided voters are large enough to turn the tables. However, ANAP Foundation has concluded that the trends are clear enough to establish the front runners and so our subsequent polls will concentrate on the four leading candidates only."
According to one analyst who spoke to BusinessDay, "these results show that Obi can win this election and we may well be headed for a run off between Obi and the second candidate given the relatively humble showing of Obi in some regions. The results also answer the question which many have asked as to whether a vote for Obi is a wasted vote. A vote for Obi is not wasted at all."

Adult Probation Services
Court Services Unit counselors provide probation services to adults in the
Juvenile and Domestic Relations
. Typically these adults are involved in cases of domestic violence, custody and visitation disputes, and child abuse and neglect. Given the nature of these cases, the Court frequently orders that adult clients attend such programs as anger management, individual therapy, parenting classes, and substance abuse treatment.
As in juvenile cases, the probation counselor meets with the adult clients to devise a supervision plan based on court orders and client needs. The probation counselor arranges the services for the client and follows up regularly with the client and provider to ensure progress. Should the client not cooperate, the probation counselor takes the matter back to Court for sanctions. After the client has successfully complied with all court orders, the probation counselor advises the Court that the case be closed or dismissed.
Family Support
Since adult cases also involve the defendant's relatives, the probation counselor contacts those family members to determine what other services or support may be needed. Victims of domestic violence often need support for securing a protective order, housing, legal counsel, and other services. Probation officers work closely with the Housing and Human Services Unit to assist such clients.

text: σαρκικός means fleshly, that which is controlled by the wrong desires which rule in the flesh, flesh often being understood in its broad sense, see σάρξ. It describes a man who gives the flesh the dominion in his life, a place which does not belong to it by right. It means distinctly opposed to the Spirit of God, anti-spiritual. σάρκινος properly means fleshy, made of flesh, flesh being the material of which it is composed. When given a bad meaning, however, it is plainly similar to σαρκικός, but according to Trench not so strong, denoting one as unspiritual, undeveloped, rather than anti-spiritual. Others, as Cremer and Thayer, with more probability make σάρκινος the stronger, it describes one who is flesh, wholly given up to the flesh, rooted in the flesh, rather than one who simply acts according to the flesh (σαρκικός). There is much confusion between the two in the N.T. manuscripts. ψυχικός has a meaning somewhat similar to σαρκικός. Both are used in contrast with πνευματικός. But ψυχικός has really a distinct meaning, describing the life which is controlled by the ψυχή. It denotes, therefore, that which belongs to the animal life, or that which is controlled simply by the appetites and passions of the sensuous nature.

7 Causes And Symptoms Of Right Shoulder And Arm Pain
If you have ever suffered with shoulder pain, you know it can range from simply annoying to severe, and it sometimes moves down your arm towards the elbow. Your shoulder joint is complicated, and pain can emanate from multiple problem areas. Let's discover 7 causes and symptoms of right shoulder and arm pain…but there are many more.
General Causes Of Right Shoulder And Arm Pain
There are three main causes that make our right shoulder and arm hurt.
- You might have injured your shoulder.
- You could be overusing the muscles in the joint.
- There could be nerve damage.
From there, specific causes and symptoms will fall under these three issues.
Rotator Cuff Disease
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that keep the humerus or upper arm bone in our shoulder socket. The rotator cuff can become painful due to overuse or injury.
For example, the tendons of the rotator cuff can become irritated and inflamed called tendonitis, the bursa sac filled with fluid can be inflamed known as bursitis, or impingement can occur in part of the shoulder blade as it rubs against the rotator cuff causing swelling and pain.
Generally the pain starts with a dull ache around the tip of the shoulder and gets worse when you push, pull, or reach overhead.
This is a very painful injury when the top of the humerus bone comes out of the socket. Car accidents, a fall, or sports injuries are common causes of a dislocation.
Dislocation causes severe pain in the shoulder and upper arm making it difficult to move the arm.
Torn Rotator Cuff
This happens from injury or overuse. It can be a partial or complete tear in the tendons of the rotator cuff.
Pain with a torn rotator cuff occurs in the front of the shoulder radiating down the side of the arm.
Swimmer's Shoulder
There are multiple ways a swimmer can injure their right shoulder due to the high number of stroke repetitions during training.
They include the following:
- Impingement syndrome occurs when tendons rub or catch on surrounding tissue when a swimmer lifts their arm.
- Labral injuries occur when there is a tear in a piece of cartilage called the labrum which sits inside the socket.
- Shoulder instability happens when the muscles around the joint do not keep the upper arm bone in the socket.
- Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the nerves causing numbness and weakness.
The pain from swimmer's shoulder radiates along the back of the shoulder.
Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder is a common cause of right shoulder pain. It occurs with inflammation in the lining of the capsule of the socket. The capsule thickens and tightens causing the pain. There is no known cause other than inflammation.
The pain is characterized as dull and aching and is located over the outer shoulder area and sometimes upper arm.
Osteoarthritis Shoulder Pain
Normal wear and tear is the main cause of this painful condition.
The pain feels like a deep ache in the shoulder and upper arm.
A Heart Issue
Most of us think of pain in the left arm when someone is having a heart attack, but the pain can also be in the right arm and shoulder.
Call 911 immediately if your pain is accompanied by nausea and vomiting, shortness of breath, pressure or burning in the chest area, dizziness, pain radiating to the jaw, sweating, and rapid heart beat.
Contact Nevada Orthopedic & Spine Center at (702) 258-3773, or request an appointment online, for treatment if you are experiencing severe or aching pain in your right shoulder and arm.

Ah, a nice hot bath after a long day. Is there anything better? Probably, haha. But, for some of us during a hectic week it's the best we are going to get.
Relax and unwind with this super easy bath salts soak recipe that will add the perfect ambiance to your well-deserved bath.
Making your own bath salts is a little bit more upfront than buying a single container, but you can make a lot more batches and customize each one to your specific preferences. Which is awesome because a budget is a budget. But a budget doesn't mean you can't give amazing and thoughtful gifts to your friends.
The best part of all in my opinion is you know exactly what's in them. A lot of companies intentionally don't disclose what's in their products- scents, colorants, preservatives, etc because they are terrible and toxic for you. That's why you can have total peace of mind making your own!
These make wonderful gifts for family and friends. If you know someone's specific scent preferences you could handmake them the bath salts of their dreams! How thoughtful.
Customize these, have as much fun as you want! The possibilities are endless. Below I put some of my fave extras to add in, such as dried lavender buds, and dried eucalyptus and peppermint leaves!
Click on any of the highlighted ingredients and it will take your to amazon where you can easily purchase them if you don't already have them!
* If you struggle with stress or anxiety like I do (who doesn't? haha) and want to customize your bath salts for that then the check out this blog I did about 6 Essential Oil Blends For Stress & Anxiety or if you don't want a blend and just want one essential oil then check out The Essential Oil Stress Kit (+ FREE printable!) which features individual essential oils that are great for stress & anxiety.

belief noun be·lief \bə-ˈlēf\ Full Definition of belief:
Beliefs are those concepts, those ways of understanding the world around us, that directly affect our experience of life. A belief or a tenet is not something that can be scientifically or mathematically proven as a truth, as conforming with fact, but rather it is something we have accepted as truth or chosen to uphold as a truth. We have chosen to believe, whether the choice was conscious or unconscious. Beliefs also form the powerful foundations of our thought patterns and emotions, which shape the way we experience our world. Do you feel the world is a scary place or a friendly place? Do you feel that you are always taken care of or that you can never get what you want? These ways of thinking are rooted in belief and will directly affect how you experience the world. I have a set of beliefs that I choose to uphold in my life and in my work. These beliefs are why I have chosen to help others free themselves and learn to consciously create their own lives. I believe...
I believe that the power lies within us all to consciously create the world we want to experience and through increasing awareness and consciousness we can access that power - we just need to believe in ourselves. We need to believe in the magic that lies within each one of us.

This year, Illinois lawmakers made a series of important changes to the Illinois Trust Code, which could have a significant impact on the rights of beneficiaries when it comes to notice and accounting rights, while also giving individuals the ability to customize their trusts and avoid conflicts at a later date. To learn more about these changes and how they could affect your own estate plan, please contact Alan G. Orlowsky today.
Notice and Accounting Requirements
Prior to January 1, 2020, the surviving spouses of those who established trusts on their behalf were not required to give a notice or accounting of the contents of that trust to their children during their lifetime. For instance, take a couple's estate plan, which states that upon one spouse's death, that person's assets would be held in trust by the surviving spouse until he/she died, at which time, the couple's children would become the beneficiaries of the trust. Under prior law, the surviving spouse in this case would not legally be obligated to give those children notice or an accounting of the contents of the trust.
Starting this year, the Illinois Trusts and Trustees Act was replaced by the Illinois Trust Code (ITC). Under the new law, trustees are required to send each beneficiary a notice within 90 days of a trust becoming irrevocable, explaining:
● That the trust exists;
● That they have a right to request a copy of the trust instrument; and
● Whether the beneficiary has the right to a trust accounting.
In addition to these disclosure requirements, the ITC also requires trustees send a trust accounting to all remainder beneficiaries, describing the assets, receipts and disbursements of the trust. These rules apply to both current qualified remainder beneficiaries and presumptive beneficiaries or their designated representatives. Before this year's changes, beneficiaries didn't have a right to information about a trust unless the creator of the trust provided that right in the trust instrument itself.
Planning Opportunities
Illinois' recently enacted trust law also gives trustors the chance to opt out of the new accounting and notice default rules. However, this is only possible for those who amend their estate plans to affirmatively state their beneficiaries will not have the right to receive a trust accounting while they are still alive. It's important to make this change early, as it may be too late to do so once one spouse has passed away. Those who fail to abide by these rules are at risk of having their estate contested. In fact, the ITC even gives beneficiaries three (3) years to file a lawsuit against a trustee.

If you are concerned your own estate will be contested by a beneficiary or have questions about contesting the estate of a loved one, please call Alan G. Orlowsky at 847-325-5559 today to speak with a contested estates attorney about the best way to protect your legal interests.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 27, 2022 / 01 Communique Laboratory Inc. (TSX-V:ONE; OTCQB:OONEF) (the "Company" or "01"), has successfully achieved all technical objectives necessary to integrate IronCAP™ into the Solana blockchain thereby providing a quantum-safe blockchain that supports smart contracts while retaining Solana's ultra-fast throughput.
"The technology we developed for this project is independent of the type of blockchain that is in use and as such it can be applied to not only the Solana blockchain but also other public blockchains such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, as well as most private business blockchains. The method of integration is unique and; therefore, we plan to file a patent application along with our partner, Talent Summit who has accepted and paid for the delivery of the Proof of Concept ("PoC"). Our next step will be to create and demonstrate a quantum-safe wallet while Talent Summit will plan for commercial development and launching of QNT - Quantum Native Token," said Andrew Cheung, President and CEO of 01 Communique.
As previously announced, the Company was commissioned to develop the World's First Quantum-Safe Blockchain designed for Tokens, NFTs, Smart Contracts for the Metaverse, De-centralized Finance (DeFi). It is expected that this quantum-safe blockchain will be resilient against cyber-attacks, including attacks from Quantum Computers.
"Unfortunately, virtually all blockchains in the world today are vulnerable to quantum computer attacks. Since blockchain data is meant to be "forever" it is imperative that it is quantum-safe. This PoC achievement is a very significant milestone and demonstrates our IronCAP™ technology can transform existing blockchains into a quantum-safe version that can be incorporated in Tokens, NFTs, Smart Contracts for Metaverse, DeFi, and more," said Andrew Cheung.
About 01 Communique
One of the first-to-market, enterprise level cybersecurity providers for the quantum computing era. The Company's cyber security business unit focuses on post-quantum cybersecurity with the development of its IronCAP™ technology, protected in the U.S.A. by its patent #11,271,715.

A Dutch court has approved the extradition of the man accused of cyberbullying B.C. teen Amanda Todd.
The Dutch Security and Justice Minister must now approve the extradition, which would send 38-year-old Aydin Coban to Canada to face trial. He has been charged with extortion and possession of child pornography in relation to Todd's case.
The 15-year-old took her life in 2012 after being bulled online.
WATCH: Mother Carol Todd on approval of extradition
Last month, Coban was sentenced in the Netherlands to nearly 11 years in prison for cyberbullying dozens of young girls and men. The Dutch court gave Coban the maximum possible sentence, calling his behaviour "astonishing".
In March, Todd's mom, Carol, said the ruling in the Netherlands would be a good thing for her daughter's case. "Knowing Aydin Coban victimized these girls in a very similar way to what he did to Amanda and so it only gives more credence and more evidence and more plausibility that he could be the perpetrator in doing what he did to my daughter," she said.
On Tuesday morning, she reacted to the news:

The collective success of the water sector would be impossible without science and research – the foundation of every drop of clean and reliable water that we provide. Science, research, and other related terms are among the most commonly heard words at any meeting or conference on water issues. Without investment in these areas, we will not be able to promote the recovery of valuable resources from water, use technology to transform infrastructure for the 21st century, or build resilience to the increasing effects of climate change.
That is why the Water Environment Federation (WEF; Alexandria, Va.) boasts a proud legacy of supporting science and research. We are proud that leading researchers have continued to be active in our organization throughout its history. Our members understand the importance of science-based decision-making, maintaining and expanding effective programs, and providing a platform for constructive debate.
For decades, WEF, its members, and our network of Member Associations (MAs) have promoted funding and policies that advance water science and research. We have advocated in the U.S. Congress, met with government officials, allocated funds toward projects, supported research foundations, and partnered with other organizations. All of this has been done to protect the bedrock of our work as water professionals.
Some have suggested that we have not communicated these efforts widely enough, particularly during the new administration, when support for science and research has declined. However, WEF has been very active in arguing against roll-backs and funding cuts, both broadly and on an issue-by-issue basis. Here are just a few examples:
- WEF sent a letter to then-President-Elect Donald Trump emphasizing sound science and the need to bolster research and development. Congress also received letters sent or cosigned by WEF asking for increased water infrastructure funding and full funding for core programs of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other federal agencies conducting research. WEF staff also met with members of Congress and committees with relevant jurisdictions to express support for these positions.
- For Water Week 2017, WEF and eight other national water associations drafted a joint document requesting that Congress and the administration fully fund EPA's National Priorities Research Funding program. WEF took the lead on a separate fact sheet on climate change as an additional resource for 400 congressional office visits completed by our members and those from other water associations.
- An ongoing call-to-action through WEF's grassroots Water Advocates program urges WEF's members to write to Congress arguing against cuts to EPA and other federal programs. More than 230 of these letters already have been sent to members of Congress. WEF staff also have directly advocated in opposition to the cuts. Efforts seem to have been successful since it appears that most of the funding will be restored during the current final negotiations of the final FY18 budget.
- A discussion of the policy-versus-science debate appeared in the April 2017 issue of Water Environment & Technology magazine. The story, "Science first," describes how WEF and similar organizations want sound science and transparency to be the norm.
- A recent letter urged Congress to protect funding for federal research that is critical to addressing challenges facing the nation's water resources. WEF requested that funding be increased or at least maintained for water research programs at EPA, the U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Geological Survey, National Science Foundation, and Bureau of Reclamation.
WEF also applauded the recent announcement that the Water Environment & Reuse Foundation (WE&RF; Alexandria, Va.) and Water Research Foundation (Denver) would merge into one water research organization, The Water Research Foundation. Both foundations have a rich history of effective and impactful research supporting the water profession. Their integration will undoubtedly create more synergy and lead to fruitful partnerships.
WEF and its members supported the founding of WE&RF, previously known as the Water Environment Research Foundation, in 1989. This shows WEF's long-standing commitment to research and innovation. WEF has maintained a close, productive relationship with the organization, including nominating representatives to its board. At WEFTEC 2017, the WEF Board of Trustees approved a $75,000 donation to support WE&RF research. WEF looks forward to strong collaboration with the new Water Research Foundation.
All parts of the water sector and WEF's membership, including utility managers, facility operators, engineers, scientists, regulators, and students, share in the benefits of research and innovation. Together, we need to support robust science and advocate for research funding, and let the water sector know about our efforts.
— Jenny Hartfelder, WEF President 2017–2018

The Capco financial services and technology consultancy has opened a new office in Singapore to meet growing regional demand.
The new Singaporean operation will be led by recently appointed Capco Partners Bao-Viet Lê and Charles Bokman. The latter will be responsible for wealth management consulting, while Mr. Lê will lead the banking practice in Singapore.
Capco already has an office in Hong Kong, but by further expanding its Asian footprint it is hoping to pick up new business. The Singapore office offers capabilities in the high-net-worth customer banking segment and in digital banking development. Core banking upgrade expertise is also available with Lê and Bokman and more new hires are expected soon.
Lê brings to the new office two decades of consulting practice focused on the banking industry, as well as eight years of experience in payments. He previously worked for another global consultancy as sales lead for emerging markets (Russia, Saudi Arabia, etc) and has acted as a client account manager for several pan-European and Asian banks.
Bokman has been in consulting for 20 years', focused mainly on wealth management transformation projects and latterly core banking replacement digital strategies. He is also a specialist in designing target operating models, regulatory compliance issues, and providing portals and tools to enhance data security.
Commenting on their arrival in Singapore, Peter Schurau, EVP and CEO of Capco Europe and A-P, said: "Our experience in Hong Kong strongly validates our commitment to Asia-Pacific. This is clearly a region of continuing growth opportunities and, looking beyond Singapore, we already have a strong presence in Thailand as well."
"Given the existing profiles in these markets of our parent company, FIS, and Clear2Pay (acquired by FIS in late 2014) there is every reason to believe we will continue our expansion into Australasia. Senior appointments of the calibre of Bao-Viet Lê and Chuck Bokman will accelerate that process."

Jeevan Nair, Vasudevan (2015) Development of coating for formaldehyde scavengers in wood composite. Faculty of Chemical & Natural Resources Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Pahang.
Development of coating for formaldehyde scavengers in wood composite.pdf - Accepted Version Download (2MB) | Preview |
Wood composite is also known as wood engineering. This field is available due to its ability to overcome the current limitation faced by applying natural lumber wood. The many advantage that wood-composite have over natural lumber makes it more desirable in long-term usage. In the production of wood-composite, the agent use to bind wood together is urea formaldehyde. The issue faced when urea formaldehyde is used, that it will produce free formaldehyde which is rather cancerous to human beings. Hence, steps have to be taken to reduce the emission of urea formaldehyde. The step proposed in this research is utilizing formaldehyde scavengers. But if scavengers are applied directly during the production of wood composite, it will affect the credibility of the product and also react will the urea formaldehyde. Thus, a study on developing a typical wax or polymer coating for these scavengers could solve the problem. Once, the coating is developed, it is incorporated to the preparation of the medium density fibreboard and after that, tests are conducted to characterize its properties. To study the feasibility of success of this research, the parameter studied is mechanical properties of the wood and the formaldehyde emission of the finished product. The focus of mechanical properties is the internal bonding, modulus of elasticity and modulus of rupture to determine effect of scavengers to the wood panel. In formaldehyde emission, perforator and desiccator methods are applied to determine the concentration of formaldehyde liberated. From the proposed scavengers used, sodium metabisulfite and ammonium bisulfite, sodium metabisulfite shows great effectivity in reducing the formaldehyde liberation followed by ammonium bisulfite. However, ammonium bisulfite affected the mechanical properties of the board greatly, where else, sodium metabisulfite did not affect adversely. With this study, it could provide the wood- composite industry an alternative to open new market with this method of producing wood-composite products.

DFCC Bank among Top 100 Consumer Brands in Sri Lanka for 2021
May 28, 2021
DFCC Bank- the full service commercial bank has been rated among the top 100 most valuable consumer brands in Sri Lanka for the year 2021. Ranking 27th in the survey conducted by Brand Finance Sri Lanka, DFCC Bank was able to climb up one notch to the 27th position, following last year's position as the 28th most valuable consumer brand in the country.
This is an indication of DFCC Bank's stellar performance, despite the raging pandemic which disturbed the progress of numerous businesses both locally and globally. DFCC Bank was able to successfully strategize and make the best of these challenging times which is now reflected in this in-depth analysis conducted by Brand Finance Sri Lanka.
Brand Finance is the world's leading independent brand valuation consultancy. Brand Finance was set up in 1996 with the aim of 'bridging the gap between marketing and finance'. For more than 20 years, the institution has helped companies and organizations of all types to connect their brands to the bottom line.
Voicing his thoughts on this achievement, DFCC Bank CEO Mr. Lakshman Silva said, "DFCC Bank has gone through brand transformations over the years. Often, this is a challenge for institutions to endure as public perception of the brand will change, sometimes resulting in the identity of the brand becoming unclear. However throughout our transformation from a development bank to a full service commercial bank, the Bank for Everyone, we have positioned ourselves as a brand that's close to customers in all walks of life offering customized financial propositions that suits them best carved out using the finest technology that offers convenience to customers."
Also adding to the sentiment shared, DFCC Bank's Vice President Marketing& Sustainability
Ms. Nilmini Gunaratne stated , "DFCC's brand value and strength are extremely useful measures for tracking the brand's performance in a competitive market. The DFCC brand needed awareness and visibility to be in the top consideration list when customers were selecting a bank of their choice and today to a great extent brand awareness has facilitated to achieve this recognition over a period of time amidst the multiple branding and communication strategies adopted. She conclude by saying that the DFCC brand will continue to carry out brand building initiatives that will create more value and engagement with all stakeholders to further and build brand loyalty and an expanded customer base over a period of time"
Given the current pandemic situation, DFCC has been able to stay top of mind creating top of mind awareness through multiple brand initiatives using digital as a key platform. One such example is the campaign that supported the Central Bank of Sri Lanka's 'Go Cashless' campaign to which DFCC supplemented by promoting the Bank's Virtual Wallet – the campaign communicated to the public that physical contact with cash is not required to carry out day-to-day financial transactions; the DFCC Wallet could be used simply anytime, anywhere to do so at the convenience of the customer. This also re-emphasized the need to adapt digital platforms for contactless banking.
About DFCC
DFCC Bank is a full-service Commercial Bank with a legacy of 65 years as one of Sri Lanka's foremost financial conglomerates offers a gamut of commercial and development banking services. The Bank was ranked amongst Business Today's Top 30 Corporates in Sri Lanka and was also positioned amongst Brand Finance's Top 100 Most Valuable Brands,2020.

Multiple people in Canada face coronavirus related charges
KENNEBECASIS, N.B. - A man in New Brunswick who recently travelled to the Dominican Republic is facing an assault charge for allegedly coughing in another person's face after saying he was feeling ill.
Police said they responded to a call Thursday morning from a home in Rothesay concerning two people who had allegedly failed to isolate themselves after returning home from travelling abroad.
A 33-year-old man was arrested at the home for uttering threats and for assault after "purposely coughing in someone's face," the Kennebecasis Regional Police Force said Friday.
Police Insp. Anika Becker said the accused doesn't live at the home in question, but his travelling companion does.
Becker said another occupant of the home — a 41-year-old man — had complained about the pair's failure to self isolate, as required by the province. That's when the coughing started, Becker said.
Under the province's emergency rules for dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, anyone who returns to the province after travelling abroad must self-isolate for 14 days.
Becker said the accused was released on a promise to appear in court in Saint John, N.B., on July 9. He is also prohibited from having any contact with the victim.
As for the officers who responded to the complaint, Becker said all of them were wearing personal protection equipment, including masks, goggles and gloves.
New Brunswick declared a state of emergency on March 19 after Premier Blaine Higgs said too few citizens were following orders to avoid public gatherings.
"If anyone has concerns that someone is not self-isolating properly, they should not take matters in their own hands," Kennebecasis police said in a statement, adding that the province has established a toll-free non-compliance phone line.
On Thursday, police in western Newfoundland confirmed that a woman had been arrested for a second time after allegedly refusing to stay inside following her return from travel outside the province.
The 53-year-old was arrested in the Curling area of Corner Brook, one day after she was released from custody for contravening special orders under Newfoundland and Labrador's Public Health Protection and Promotion Act.
The woman has been charged with failing to abide by the special order and two counts of breaching a release order. She could be fined between $500 and $2,500 or jailed up to six months.
In Quebec City, police arrested a woman last week who they said was infected with the virus and was walking outside after being ordered to stay indoors.
Meanwhile, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese in St. John's, N.L. closed all of its churches on Friday.
Archbishop Peter Hundt says the churches are now offering mass and other spiritual rites through Facebook.
In Halifax, the local transit authority says bus service has been reduced because of a lack of staff. The municipality says riders can expect delays and route cancellations.
The union that represents transit workers confirmed Thursday one of its mechanics was among those who've tested positive for COVID-19.
In Newfoundland and Labrador, the ferry service linking the province with Nova Scotia will be imposing strict passenger limits as of April 1. Marine Atlantic says its ferries will carry only 100 passengers per crossing to ensure social distancing.
Screening measures will also prevent anyone from boarding a ferry if they are showing symptoms, including fever, cough and difficulty breathing.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 27, 2020.

News Release: Election-Related Civilize It Advertising Launches in Michigan
TV Ads Encourage Residents, Catholics to Pledge Civility, Clarity, and Compassion
September 16, 2020
(Lansing, Mich.) — As the level of civility and respect for others with differing opinions has diminished with each passing political campaign season, Michigan Catholic Conference (MCC) has undertaken an advertising effort encouraging Catholics and residents of the state to pledge civility, clarity, and compassion when discussing and debating candidates and politics. To promote the effort, a one-minute television commercial featuring a diverse range of Catholics taking the Civilize It pledge has been produced and will begin to run today in various television markets across Michigan.
"It has become all-too-normal to hear family, friends, and colleagues speak with fatigue and frustration about elections and how candidates and citizens speak about and to one another. It is our hope with this effort that an element of civility and respect for others will begin to return to our collective political dialogue," said MCC Vice President for Communications David Maluchnik.
Anticipating the divisiveness of this year's presidential election, MCC was intrigued by the Civilize It campaign promoted by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Originating in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, the Civilize It: Dignity Beyond the Debate effort encourages Catholics and all people of goodwill to re-orient their political conversations with others. It places an emphasis on listening to those with whom we may disagree, respecting their dignity as human persons, and rising above personal attacks. To promote the effort, MCC has purchased advertising time this September in various television markets across the state to share a one-minute ad. Viewers and others with interest are encouraged to visit www.CivilizeItMichigan.com to take the brief pledge for themselves.
"I had the feeling that by taking this pledge it would improve my own dialogue and provide an example for others hopefully to follow," said Chris Pham, who resides in the Saginaw area and participated in the video. "By joining this effort and helping to share our message across the state, it's my hope that perhaps those running for office and others discussing the election will also participate."
Filmed by individuals recording from their smartphones, the video pieces together various participants reciting the pledge and assembles the parts into a cohesive string of persons committed to the values of civility, clarity, and compassion. The ad demonstrates the inclusiveness and international dimension of the Catholic Church. The underlying message is that regardless of one's gender or racial demographic, every human person is deserving of respect and dignity when discussing contentious issues such as political candidates, parties, and policies.
The television ad buy begins today September 16th and runs through the month. MCC will continue to work with its ad buyer to find additional opportunities should time become available during an expensive advertising season with limited inventory. Along with the commercial that is running on television, Michigan Catholic Conference has assembled a similar video of six of the Catholic bishops in Michigan taking the Civilize It pledge along with a Spanish-language version. A social media effort that includes these three videos will accompany the television advertising.
Editor's Note: Below is the full text of the Civilize It pledge:
I pledge civility.
To recognize the human dignity of those with whom I disagree, treat others with respect, and rise above attacks when directed at me.
I pledge clarity.
To root my political viewpoints in the Gospel and a well-formed conscience, which involves prayer, conversation, study and listening. I will stand up for my convictions and speak out when I witness language that disparages others' dignity, while also listening and seeking to understand others' experiences.
I pledge compassion.
To encounter others with a tone and posture which affirms that I honor the dignity of others and invites others to do the same. I will presume others' best intentions and listen to their stories with empathy. I will strive to understand before seeking to be understood.
Michigan Catholic Conference is the official public policy voice of the Catholic Church in this state.

British Ladies Are The Fattest In Europe As Quarter Are Classed As Obese

If you want to uncover out a simple tip for writing a rap song, then study this post. You may well really feel nervous when jamming with others for the initial time - this is regular, and you shouldn't be concerned too considerably about generating errors - they're inevitable. It will assist if you happen to be playing with other men and women who are not as well advanced, or are prepared to consist of some easier songs in the session for the benefit of the significantly less seasoned. Most musicians will be welcoming to newcomers and will hopefully keep in mind how it felt to be new [empty] to jamming - if they're not, find somewhere else to play! If you never have musician close friends to jam with currently, you can usually locate local jam sessions organised by music retailers, pubs and the like - these will at times be geared towards players of various requirements, so appear out for beginner jam sessions to commence with.three) Know your instrument inside-out. One particular of the curious developments of the late 1970's was the enormous improve in garage bands, punk bands, rappers, and "do-it-your-self-ers", who just picked up an instrument, or began to sing with some friends, and six months later recorded a record and started to play reside. Some great music, and new directions in music, came out of that circumstance. But now, 30 odd years later, the novelty of hearing amateurish thrashings has gotten a bit dull.The much less certain you are with the hook the a lot more people will be capable to relate to it and the less predictable your song will be to the listener. This also gives you a lot more flexibility and freedom on how you can flip the which means of your hook with your verses.Sippy Pat and her Mum, Bobby Elbow and his fiance have been in the alcove by the puggy, and from the bar they can barely be seen by means of the cloud of fag smoke. The fags are totally free as well, handed out for every take, and Diane has had to empty the ashtrays 3 times currently, a task created less complicated by the beardy assistant director fellow, who gets her to just empty them onto the floor for added grittiness. By the toilet door, directly beneath the wall-mounted gas heater, Halfpint Henderson and his 3 sixty-some thing sons are gleaming with sweat, devouring pints as rapidly as Diane can pour them in an work to replace the fluids becoming sapped by the powerful beams. It really is take-ten of their domino game because Jerso, Halfpint's youngest, keeps laughing, and this is ruining the grimness of the set piece.Developing up, Lex drummed in church bands, then got his hands on a PlayStation game named MTV Music Generator 3, which had an interface not as opposed to the Fruity Loops program. He began generating beats that sounded like Drop It Like It click to find out more really is Hot," a beguilingly skeletal track the Neptunes created for Snoop Dogg, full of pop-click drums and tiny else.There is no single better encounter in music than reside band hip-hop. It's no coincidence that the best concerts I have ever attended have all been hip-hop shows with a live band kicker. It cranks the energy up to a diverse level. If you want people to be far more involved you have to make them pay focus. It is challenging when it is just a DJ and you, but that epic drum fill or guitar solo makes that passive observer listen. Plus, it shows me you are more than a rapper, you are an artist. It's a lot tougher to rap with a live band, but if you can do it, I am infinitely far more impressed and it shows a level of musicality that is vital to becoming productive. Even if it is just a keyboardist or a drummer, do your ideal to make it occur. If it is not in your repertoire, try it. I promise you it will bring your live show up a notch.Some rap songwriting strategies can be discovered all across the World wide web on numerous sites and forums. 50 does what he does nicely, but he hardly pushes language in the way Marshall does. At his ideal, Em runs circles about every person else in mainstream hip-hop, even though 50 is content material to run by means of the identical thing more than and over thematically, rhythmically and verbally. I've heard a lot of 50 songs, but can not once remember pondering WOW" at a single rhyme or believed he strung collectively.I am sorry to see Ken go - regardless of whether or not he's had much to do with the songwriting or studio recording, he's obviously contributed massively to the band live and the 3-piece Holmfirth gig, although still good in a distinct way (the unpredictable setlist perhaps enforced by Ken's absence) - it did lack something (his guitar).3. In no way underestimate good sounds. It is critical that you steer yourself away from the factory preset sounds in your software program and commit some income on good sounds for your rap music beats. Here's more info in regards to Going Here visit [empty] the web-site. You can get sounds for just about any music application program, whether or not it be Reason, Fruity Loops, Cubase, and so on. A lot of sites even have samples of their sounds, so you can hear them prior to you acquire.

PREREQUISITES AND PLACEMENT IN THE CURRICULUM: Completion of the following core clerkships: OB/Gyn and Pediatrics. Special circumstances (medical student with previous breastfeeding experience, student with previous doula experience, etc) will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
PLEASE NOTE – This rotation's schedule is flexible, but also requires self-motivation and initiative in order to complete all requirements during the 2-week rotation.
PURPOSE: Although breastfeeding is supported by the medical literature as the preferred and normal way to feed the human infant, clinical practices continue to exist that serve as barriers to exclusive breastfeeding. These include deficits in prenatal education, practices in L&D and the newborn nursery that undermine breastfeeding (absence of baby friendly practices), and lack of effective follow up care from knowledgeable clinicians. Evidence has shown that implementing physician education has positive clinical outcomes on breastfeeding exclusivity and duration.
The purpose of this elective is to improve breastfeeding knowledge and attitudes of medical students, especially those interested in providing primary care to mothers and infants. Upon successful completion of this elective, the student will become comfortable with promoting breastfeeding, gain a basic understanding of the principles of lactation, learn how to manage common lactation problems, and learn ways to implement baby friendly practices into their medical practice.
1. List the health risks of not breastfeeding for children, mothers, families, and society.
2. Describe the anatomy, physiology, and endocrinology of milk production and secretion.
3. Explain the biochemical and immunologic properties of human milk.
4. Identify the demographic associations of ethnicity, maternal education, and socioeconomic status on breastfeeding initiation and duration.
5. Identify national and/or international goals for breastfeeding rates and goals for breastfeeding practices, as appropriate.
6. Counsel a breastfeeding mother about basic nutritional needs for herself and her child.
7. Describe and recommended evidence-based practices for maternity care providers that have been shown to result in increased initiation and duration of breastfeeding.
8. Identify factors that contribute to parental decision making about breastfeeding.
9. Recognize the effects of labor and delivery interventions on initiation of breastfeeding.
10. Be able to facilitate and assist with the first feeding immediately after delivery.
11. Recognize correct attachment and effective suckling at the breast.
12. Counsel mothers about establishing and maintaining milk supply during separation due to illness or return to study or employment.
13. Discuss causes, prevention, and management of common breastfeeding problems (e.g., sore nipples, low milk supply, poor weight gain, and jaundice).
14. Describe appropriate timing, introduction, and selection of complementary foods.
15. Recognize that most infants, even those with special healthcare needs, can breastfeed.
16. Understand normal growth patterns for breastfed babies.
17. Coordinate services with, and provide appropriate referral to, other professionals, lay persons, and community groups.
L&D – student will spend one half-day/wk working with midwives and OB's assisting in deliveries. The impact of birthing practices on breastfeeding will be emphasized.
Inpatient rounds – student will spend one half-day/wk participating in lactation rounds with the lactation consultant and going over case studies from the Wellstart Learning Module.
Field experience – 2 half-days/wk will be devoted to community experiences. Student will choose at least 6 community experiences that pertain to breastfeeding. Opportunities include but are not limited to; Illinois Maternal and Child Health Coalition, WIC office, private lactation consultations, Mother's Milk Club, prenatal classes, Le Leche League, and various lactation meetings and support groups at surrounding hospitals. Opportunities will expand as more contacts are established.
Independent study – student will have two half-days/wk of protected study time that can be used for completing the Wellstart Learning Module with accompanying case studies and to research a topic in breastfeeding. They will present a breastfeeding topic of their choice during a designated meeting/lecture. (Chicago Breastfeeding Task Force monthly meeting, M3 pediatric clerkship lecture, M3 OB clerkship lecture, M3 family medicine clerkship lecture, and/or other designated meetings/lectures as determined by participating faculty.) Additionally, the student will be assigned readings relevant to breastfeeding medicine and evidence based practices.
Weekly lecture – pertains to the field of pediatrics and is attended by all students who are taking an elective within the pediatrics department. 1hr in duration each week.
**Mandatory meetings include:
- The Lactation Club held weekly @ UIH
- Chicago Breastfeeding Task Force meeting held monthly @ Stroger
- Pediatrics E&M Conference: This is an educational enhancement specifically designed for the M4 student in Pediatrics – a case-based learning session designed to focus on issues that you likely will face as residents. All students in pediatrics elective will gather at 8am every Thursday of their rotation in 1208 CSB (12th floor conference room).
1. Satisfactory completion of H&P and/or progress notes on all mothers and infants seen in the mother-baby unit as required.
2. Satisfactory presentation of H&P's to one or more faculty involved in the elective.
3. Active participation in in-patient rounds.
4. Completion of 6 community experiences during the 2-wk elective.
5. The student will maintain a logbook of all community field experiences. Signatures from staff will be required to verify attendance at each of these experiences.
6. Completion of WellStart International Program Lactation Management Self-Study Module I-III and accompanying examination.
7. Completion of (7) case studies in the Wellstart Lactation Module.
8. Presentation of topic related to breastfeeding at resident/medical student lecture.

The statement from the Bulgarian state-owned gas supplier Bulgargaz said that the price for February should be around 14.8 euros/MWh, which is 7.3 % higher than the price valid in January – 13.8 euros/MWh. The copany is planning to propose higher wholesale natural gas price to be applied in February and March 2021.
Also, Bulgargaz said that it is planning to propose further price hike for March, increasing the price to around 15.4 euros/MWh. Bulgargaz said that it is taking into account the 16 % increase in gas prices on the European markets in the first week of January 2021. Previously, Bulgarian Commission for Energy and Water Regulation (KEVR) approved a 2.8 % decrease of wholesale natural gas price for January 2021, slightly higher than Bulgargaz' proposal of 2.4 % cut. The price was decreased to around 13.8 euros/MWh, excluding VAT and excise duty. In early March, Bulgargaz and Gazprom Export have finalized an agreement on 40.3 % reduction of the price at which Russia supplies natural gas to Bulgaria, backdated to 5 August 2019. Bulgaria was the last of eight EU Member States of Eastern Europe to strike a deal on a price cut with Gazprom, in the wake of a settlement reached between the European Commission and the Russian monopolist on an anti-trust investigation. The agreement with Gazprom prompted the change in determining regulated wholesale gas prices, which is now set on monthly, rather than quarterly basis.

With every piece of news on Sunday—from the Pittsburgh Steelers refusing to come out for the national anthem to LeSean McCoy saying President Donald Trump is "acting like a jerk" to the dozens of other players and coaches who made pointed comments toward the White House—I kept coming back to a conversation I had with Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins over the offseason.
We were discussing so-called "distraction" culture, the fortress that NFL coaches had built up over the past 80 years to make sure that real life never seeps into the sport. Football coaches, historically, hate real life. They like third-down efficiency, pass protection, and the field goal unit being set with plenty of time left on the play clock. They don't like outspokenness, typically. If you are not playing or preparing to play football, you run the risk of being a distraction—a word that has come to signify anything that football coaches do not like. Real life, however, is a distraction. Alabama head coach Nick Saban claimed to not know that it was Election Day … on Election Day, and he acted like this sort of single-minded focus was something to brag about. Individuals exist in real life, but individualism has been anathema in football circles.
Distraction culture is what kept many players and coaches from speaking out until Sunday. Distraction culture is likely the reason that Colin Kaepernick still isn't on an NFL roster. But here's the thing about distractions: Since they've come to mean "anything," they ultimately mean "nothing."
In April, Jenkins told me that the way to break down distraction culture and for political activism to take root in football is through "power in numbers."
"It's only a 'distraction' when one or two guys are speaking out. When all of a sudden you have a whole team of guys or a majority of a team speaking on one issue, it's no longer a distraction: It's a priority for that team," Jenkins said on a podcast we did together. "Any one person—you can cut them, you can get rid of them, do whatever. When it's a collective thing, it's very hard to single people out. [One,] our voices … become amplified because you have more voices and they are spread across the country in different cities. Two, it gets a little more protection for guys … who want to get involved but don't know how and are a little bit afraid of their job security."
He was talking about eventually building a network of politically active players and supporting one another. On Friday, Trump did the work for them by referring to any NFL player who protested as a "son of bitch" who should be "fired"—and then doubling and tripling down on his stance. There is power in numbers for politically active players, and after this weekend, no one is going to be afraid for their job security. The sport—and the conversation around politics and sports—has changed.
We will look back on Sunday as the beginning of the end of an era when football teams did whatever they could to keep real life out of football. The NFL changed Sunday, perhaps permanently, perhaps just for the next few years, but it changed. It is not just that the president of the United States is in a war of words with the national pastime—watching football is essentially the only thing Americans do in large numbers anymore—and went so far as to call for a fan boycott. It is that Trump's comments so stunned the football world that the risk-averse sport came out en masse against him. Earlier this month, Dolphins receiver Kenny Stills wondered why more players weren't speaking out against police brutality, theorizing that perhaps endorsements or contracts were holding them back. That will no longer be the case.
The list of NFL people who came after Trump is both long and unexpected. Terry Bradshaw, of all people, owned Trump by telling him to stick to politics. Tennessee head coach Mike Mularkey and New Orleans head coach Sean Payton both ripped Trump. Mike Mularkey! Roger Goodell, who released a vague statement Saturday, was celebrated. MSNBC host Joy Reid framed Goodell's statement as "claps back at Trump." I did not know what to expect when this weekend started, but I definitely did not anticipate Goodell being accepted by The Resistance. The majority of owners then supported Goodell's statement, ending up looking like the good guys. After a series of self-inflicted wounds in courtrooms across America with player discipline and health, the NFL league office is finally going into a battle and will come out with a positive image. Trump did something so outrageous that it united the vast majority of players, owners, coaches, and the commissioner. We are living in strange days.
Not all of the moments were powerful—I am not sure what an owner locking arms with players is supposed to signify in the context of politics—but taken as a whole, Sunday was significant. Raiders owner Mark Davis told ESPN on Sunday that he'd "previously told [players] that I would prefer that they not protest while in the Raiders uniform." He continued: "I can no longer ask our team to not say something while they are in a Raider uniform. The only thing I can ask them to do is do it with class. Do it with pride. Not only do we have to tell people there is something wrong, we have to come up with answers. That's the challenge in front of us as Americans and human beings."
This is the change happening in most NFL locker rooms: On Sunday, for perhaps the first time in league history, players weren't expected to stay quiet. They were told they could speak out.
There's a fundamental misread of the activism around the league from critics. First, as pointed out by many observers, including ESPN's Dan Le Batard on Sunday, most players who've knelt or raised fists for the anthem are specifically doing so to protest police brutality. It is not a "flag protest." They are protesting during the national anthem, but it's not the song they are protesting; they are using a visible moment to draw attention to their causes. But the larger misread comes in thinking that this protest is the centerpiece of the players' activism. Jenkins has met with lawmakers to push for criminal justice reform when it comes to mandatory minimums that punish nonviolent crimes with harsh prison sentences. Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters, who sat during the anthem for the first game of this season, used social media to help get lawyers for a family stranded by the Muslim ban. Kaepernick has handed out free suits outside a parole office. That is where most of the activism is taking place—not on the 20 or so Sundays of football season.
It has always been strange how queasy sportswriters and commenters and fans can be around politics. The first American superstar athlete who didn't stick to sports was the first American superstar athlete. His name was Babe Ruth, and he heartily endorsed Democrat Al Smith for president in 1928. (There is no record of Herbert Hoover calling Ruth a son of a bitch.) Yet it took the sports world nearly 100 years to even get somewhat comfortable with the ideas that all people have opinions. In recent years, the NBA has led the way on this: Warriors coach Steve Kerr wrote an essay on Trump on Sunday.
There are NFL coaches on both sides of the political spectrum, but in the past, the rank and file did not want a lot of their opinions out there. In my old job at The Wall Street Journal, a handful of coaches would try to talk politics with me, assuming that a generally conservative paper employs only conservatives. Four years ago, during a down moment in a conversation, one coach asked me if I faulted Bill Clinton for what happened in the Battle of Mogadishu. I quickly moved on. We never spoke about politics again. But this is generally a group that does not want their allegiances known (save for a few, like Bill Belichick or Rex Ryan, who were open Trump endorsers). Yet, there was not a lot of hesitation this weekend: In addition to Mularkey and Payton, Pete Carroll said "there's no longer a place to sit silently."
There were reports of boos directed toward players at various games throughout the weekend, but any meaningful fan boycott seems far-fetched: As I've said before, the number of people who watched NFL games did not change last season, just the amount of time they watched for. But the conversation about political activism in the sport will change. Will there be locker room problems when, say, a player like Denver's Derek Wolfe, who publicly backed standing for the anthem and questioned why anyone who doesn't like America stays here, discusses the matter with a teammate who disagrees? We've yet to find out. Will broadcasts show the anthem at every game? What forms of protest will players turn toward next?
What comes next, like anything on this planet right now, remains a mystery. Eagles wide receiver Torrey Smith told Jenny Vrentas on Sunday that in the future people are going to look back and realize what kind of important change Kaepernick ushered into the sport. He's right. As Josh Norman said after Washington's game Sunday night, addressing Trump, "You have 1,800 men on your back now. Good luck with that."
I have traveled the country talking to this generation of athletes. I have heard players say they do not care if they get fired for their beliefs, and I have heard about the lengths they've gone to help whatever their cause is. Football just changed, and this is not a one-Sunday affair. This is real life.
