It only takes a spark to get a fire going.
And soon all those around, can warm up in glowing.
That's how it is with God's love,
Dm G Dm7 G Dm7 C
Once you've experienced it, you spread His love to everyone;
You want to pass it on.
What a wondrous time is spring, when all the trees are budding;
The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming.
That's how it is with God's love;
Once you've experienced it, you want to sing
"It's fresh like spring"; you want to pass it on.
I wish for you my friend, this happiness that I've found.
You can depend on Him, it matters not where you're bound.
I'll shout it from the mountain top – PRAISE GOD
I want the world to know; the Lord of love has come to me,
I want to pass it on.

Bigg Boss 13 is on the verge of completing its twelfth week. The weekend ka vaar episodes promise to be filled with explosive action, drama and hungama, thanks to the presence of the host Salman Khan.
Salman Khan has had a rollercoaster ride in this season of Bigg Boss 13. Salman Khan was accused of being biased during the initial days of the show when he chose to evict Koena Mitra. However, the audience were fairly happy from there on when he discussed about critical issues. He ensured that he cracked the whip on contestants who took the physical route to show their power in the house.
However, everything is not well for Salman's future as the host of Bigg Boss 13. Over the last few weekend ka vaar episodes, it is clearly evident that Salman does not have any intent to host the show as his energy levels were gleamingly low.
In addition to this, the makers of Bigg Boss 13 announced a five week extension for the show. Salman's personal and professional commitments did not allow him to accept it. There were rumors about Farah Khan taking over as the host for the extension period. However, with a salary revision to INR 2 crores per episode, the makers sealed the deal with Salman Khan for the rest of the show.
Also, Salman's shooting schedule for 'Radhe' was another showstopper for the superstar.
Bigg Boss 13 Weekend Ka Vaar Highlights 21st December – What Did Salman Tell the Makers of BB13 About Quitting the Show?
Time and again Salman Khan tried to explain to the contestants about the excellent opportunity they have to showcase their character to the rest of the world. However, the contestants repeatedly indulged in physical violence and cheap activities which irked him. Even during this week's weekend ka vaar, there is a huge fight between Salman Khan and Rashami Desai, Mahira and Shehnaz.
Salman Khan told the makers on mike, "You guys extended the show by five weeks and who is going to do the show? I am not ready. See the level and class of these people. I am tired of explaining the same things to them again and again"

In further evidence that the line between organic art and corporate sponsorship is becoming increasingly blurred, email marketing company MailChimp (ya know, from Serial) is behind VeilHymn, the new collaborative project between Dev Hynes and Bryndon Cook of Starchild & The New Romantic.
That VeilHymn was born out of the company wasn't revealed in early press releases. "With all of the alter egos, we wanted to play it cool at first and let them each create intrigue and interest on their own," Mark DiCristina, the senior director of brand marketing at MailChimp, told Pitchfork via email. Sure, sure.
VeilHymn, as you might now recognize, rhymes with MailChimp, and it joins "MailShrimp," "KaleLimp," and "WhaleSynth" as one of many "strategically created executions targeting digital subculture." Their previously released single, "Hymn", was created exclusively for the company.
Sure, that all sounds decidedly unsexy, but the song itself is great, so who cares? "Hymn" is a slow, slick R&B jam with a killer hook, the result of "years" of collaborations between Hynes and Cook. You can watch the new, interactive video, which features lots of casual, performative dancing, at VeilHymn.com, or via YouTube below.
According to Pitchfork, a press release from MailChimp says the project was created "with the intention that people may organically come across one or two parts of the campaign, piquing their interest enough that they would want to dig deeper."

Tunisia- Overview
In January 2014, the National Constituent Assembly adopted a new constitution, significantly strengthening human rights protections in Tunisia. Following the 2010 revolution, civil society organisations grew in influence and are now able to operate much more freely than they did during the dictatorship of Ben Ali. The remnants of the old regime, especially legislation restricting free speech, together with the ambiguity of some new legal provisions regulating the formation and operation of civil society organisations still have the potential to undermine civic freedoms. LGBTI activists face harassment and intimidation as authorities take part in a campaign claiming that LGBTI people are a threat to Muslim and Arabic identity. Protest rights are protected in the constitution however archaic laws and the use of excessive force undermine this in practice.

Wolverines Dominate NSM Bison 51–0
By EDDY GIFFORD
Sports Writer
The Dade County High School Wolverine football team traveled to North Sand Mountain on Friday night for their second game of the 2021 season and it turned out to be a big night for the much-improved team even though they got off to a slow start.
Late in the first quarter Dade put together a long drive that ended on an eight-yard touchdown run by Cayden Cooper to put them on top 6-0. The extra point kick by Caroline Tremmier was good to make it 7-0.
While the Wolverines were dominating play they did not score again until 39 seconds remained in the first half. Brodie Swader looked to pass but when no one was open he ran the ball 30-yard for the Wolverines next score to put them up 13-0. The extra point kick by Abigail Tremmier was good and the Wolverines were up 14-0 at the end of the first half.
The Wolverine coaches said all the right things at halftime as they came out in the second half and put a lot of points on the board.
On their first drive of the second half DCHS got into the end zone on a two-yard run by Brodie Swader to make it 20-0. The Caroline Tremmier kick made it 21-0.
The Wolverine defense dominated the Bison all night and after stopping them on their next drive the Dade offense went back to work.
With 1:08 remaining in the third quarter the Wolverines scored again, this time on a 26-yard run by Cody Williams to make it 27-0 and the Abigail Tremmier's kick made it 28-0.
Early in the fourth quarter Cody Williams scored again, this time on a nine-yard run and the Caroline Tremmier kick made it 35-0 Wolverines.
DCHS still had plenty left and with 5:40 remaining in the game Cayden Cooper got his second touchdown of the night on a 34-yard run and Abigail Tremmier kicked the extra point to make it 42-0.
The Wolverine defense then backed up the Bison near their own goal line and on fourth down the ball was snapped over the punters head and went out of the end zone for a touchback and two more points for the Wolverines to make it 44-0 with 3:37 remaining.
The Wolverines then received the kick and marched back down the field as Cayden Cooper scored his third touchdown of the night on an 18-yard run and Caroline Tremmier's kick made it 51-0 with 1:30 remaining in the game.
Dade's defense stopped the Bison, and the Wolverines had their second win of the season, 51-0.
The Wolverine offense totaled 425 yards of offense, 390 of those coming from the ground game led by Cayden Cooper with 21 carries for 158 yards. Cody Williams had 14 carries for 122 yards and Brodie Swader had 12 carries for 73 yards.
Zeke Wheeler had three receptions for 35 yards, accounting for all the Wolverines' passing yards.
The offensive line had a big night as well, Isaac Pangle had four pancake blocks, four knockdown blocks; Austin Sorrelle had three pancake blocks, six knockdown blocks; Andrew Buffington had three pancake blocks, four knockdown blocks; Zac Counts had two pancake blocks, five knockdown blocks; and Landon Williams had one pancake blocks, two knockdown blocks.
The Wolverine defense was led by Cody Williams with 11 tackles, three TFL, one assist, one QB pressure; Landon Williams with eight tackles, two sacks, one QB pressure; Isaac Pangle nine tackles, four TFL, one sack; Tyler Williams four tackles, two sacks, one assist; Xander Lynch five tackles; Eli Kimball three tackles, one TFL, one sack, one assist; Caleb Massey three tackles, one TFL, one interception; Everett Christiansen three tackles, two TFL, two assist; Braylon Sullivan three tackles, one assist.
Other defenders with tackles were Kade Pardue, two tackles; Zac Smith one tackle; Dylan Dwyer, two tackles, two assists; Brandon Willerson, one tackle; Lucas Costley, two tackles, one assist; and Dakota Whitmore, one tackle; one TFL.
Coach Jeff Poston had this to say after the win, "I was proud that we never let up. We have struggled with that in the past, and if we want to grow as a program, and make a run in the playoffs, we cannot ever let up. We were physically dominate again, but the thing I'm proudest of is that we didn't commit a single unsportsmanlike penalty. I'm hoping that is a sign that we are starting to mature and understand what is important each week. Now we have to prepare for a Trion team who I consider to be as good as Fannin and Pepperell. I want to see how we respond to a team like that."
The Wolverines have this week off and will begin preparing for the Trion Bulldogs to come calling on Friday, Sept. 10 at 7:30 p.m.
Get out and support the Wolverines as they look to improve to 3-0!

A correctional officer has been arrested after allegedly helping an inmate smuggle contraband into jail.
According to an affidavit from Metro Nashville Police, CoreCivic Officer Liberty Bryson faces seven felony charges in the case.
The alleged incident happened Saturday at the Metro-Davidson County Detention Facility and was caught on camera.
Bryson has been accused of going with an inmate to get packages of contraband that were thrown over a security fence.
The packages were tossed into a fenced-in basketball court -- two made it on the court, while another fell in a grassy area by an outer fence.
The package that didn't make it was later discovered by someone on the staff. That led to an investigation.
Officials said the packages contained marijuana, heroin, cocaine, rolling papers, cigarillos and a cell phone.

The Mission Streetscape Plan held its fifth workshop Wednesday at the Women's Building to update the community on the Mission Streetscape Plan and discuss priority projects, including a well-received proposal for a Thursday night market on Bartlett between 21st and 22nd streets. Officials also gave an update on Dolores Park.
Drawings for the playground at Dolores Park are 75 percent complete and construction on the 10-month undertaking is estimated to begin in October. Design meetings for other Dolores Park improvements will begin over the summer. Planning officials dismissed earlier statements that the park would be closed during the second phase of construction.
"Seventy-five percent of the construction is revamping the irrigation system," said Jake Gilchrist of the Recreation and Parks department. "So it will not be visibly noticeable."
The proposed Mission Community Market on Bartlett near 22nd Street would feature a farmers market and vendor slots for emerging food businesses, street musicians, outdoor seating, art displays and after school activities for children.
"The challenge is not necessarily finding interest but getting the logistics in mind and finding funding," said Jeremy Shaw, an urban planner who lives a block away from the proposed site and presented his ideas at the meeting.
"I'm going to volunteer with the community market," said city arborist James Devinny, who attended the meeting out of personal interest. "I've never heard of it before. It's close to my house and I love the idea of an outdoor evening market. It's such a fun atmosphere when the weather's nice."
Paul Geffner, owner of Escape from New York Pizza, said his business, Revolution Café and Lolo, both nearby on 22nd Street, will hold a fundraiser during the June 20 Sunday Streets event in the Mission. The audience cheered when he announced that the proceeds will be donated to this project.
The workshop also discussed proposals to reduce the number of lanes on Folsom and Bryant streets.
Nearly four dozen people attended the meeting, including members of the Planning Department, Parks and Recreation Department, the Municipal Transportation Agency and Bay Area Rapid Transit, as well as neighbors who are interested in the projects.
"We've had amazing community involvement and we don't want people to think [the plans] have disappeared," said key organizer and Planning Department member Amnon Ben-Pazi, referring to the eight-month period since the last community workshop.
The grant for the Mission Streetscape Plan will end in June, and one of the objectives Wednesday night was to get community members involved in the projects, said Ilaria Salvadori of the Planning Department.
"I'm hoping the community will take on the different projects and push them forward," said Salvadori, manager of the Mission Streetscape Plan.
Various ideas for the use of extra space created by fewer lanes on Bryant and Folsom streets were proposed, including the building of a median to make the street more pleasant, a green gutter, wider sidewalks, the installation of bus zones so stopped buses would be out of the way of traffic and the construction of bulbouts on street corners. The idea of perpendicular parking to narrow the roadway was also added to the Bryant Street suggestions.
Many community members stressed the importance of using the extra space for bike lanes, reasoning that bike lanes would be more useful than medians.
The Bryant Street project currently has $75,000 to spend, which is enough to renovate one block, said meeting organizer Adam Varat. The project is looking to renovate four blocks.
The other priority projects discussed included the proposed park on 17th and Folsom streets, a plaza at the 24th Street BART to transform it into a 'living room for the community," and updates on the Mission Playground.
The Mission Playground renovation plan is now 95 percent complete. The playground's biggest feature is a low three and a half foot fence covered in art.
The next step for the Mission Streetscape Plan is to draft a formal plan describing the vision, policies, design, and framework of the specific projects and go through an environmental review, said Varat, a member of the Planning Department. All of the projects within this plan are going to have a life of their own.
"These are exciting meetings to find out new stuff, find challenges and opportunities and lend some thoughts," said Rob Thomson, an architectural preservationist in the Presidio who has been involved in the Bryant Street project. "There's a lot of potential in the Mission and it's clear that we're suffering from planning during the automobile era."

The Season 5 Mystery The Expanse Fans Want Resolved In Season 6
Amazon Prime's The Expanse is one distinguished sci-fi show, and season 5 does plenty of heavy lifting to uphold that reputation. The season continues to display the series' uncanny knack for constantly upping its game and uncovering more and more of its vast and interesting mysteries, socio-political relations and historical struggles. Though The Expanse has had to leave out a bunch of stuff from James S. A. Corey's books, the show is still so good that some people feel it seems to predict the future. It's so good, in fact, that despite the fact that it's set to wrap up after season 6, there's still speculation about its potential return to TV after that.
Despite all the acclaim, even the greatest show always has something that goes slightly unattended. Recently, some fans have focused on one particular conundrum that they feel The Expanse season 5 didn't explain properly. Let's take a look at the season 5 mystery The Expanse fans want resolved in season 6.
Fans are desperate to hear the ending of Admiral Delgado's joke
A driving force of The Expanse's internal dynamics is the longstanding conflict between the wealthy Earth, the plucky Mars, and the chaotic Belt. The relationship interplay between all three factions is in full effect when Earther politician Chrisjen Avarasala (Shohreh Aghdashloo) meets United Nations Navy Admiral Delgado (Michael Irby) for her newest ploy to keep Earth safe.
While this has all the makings of a dramatic scene in its own right, some fans on Reddit seem greatly bothered by the joke Delgado tells during their meeting — yet never finishes.
The joke is a variation of the "three men walk into a bar" template, in which the Belter asks for a Martian drink, while the Martian wants an Earther one, both proclaiming in turn that "drinking like my enemy lets me think like my enemy." Unfortunately, Delgado is interrupted before saying what the Earther orders, which presumably would have been the punchline. "Is it ever finished in the books?" user switchedatdivorce asked, on the aforementioned Reddit thread, regarding the joke. "What is it? It's driving me NUTS since I LOVE 'walk into a bar' jokes."
Fans have been making up punchlines, but the show may already include a stealthy one
Other Reddit and Twitter users have also been bothered by the lack of punchline, to a point that they've collected multiple potential endings to the joke. Generally, these seem to revolve around the central concept that the Earther orders whatever he wants because he's either unwilling to play with the joke's conventions, or doesn't care about the other two, or even because he simply recognizes he's "already like my enemy."
All of these are cool ideas, and potentially viable ending templates for the joke, should you ever find yourself walking into a bar with a Martian and a Belter.
Then again, redditor Darck47 pointed out that the scene actually kind of does deliver the punchline, thanks to the fact that the joke is interrupted by an Earther scientist — ordering an Earth drink, bourbon, which in the joke's context would technically confirm the Earther as both his own enemy and being in blatant disregard of the other two. As the user wrote, "Personally I think the joke kind of finishes itself when the Dr. comes in and when asked what he wants he says 'Bourbon' and Delgado goes 'ah' and chuckles almost like the Dr's request was the punchline."
Right now, it's up to the fans to decide whether Delgado was right to let his joke to end with that happy accident, or if he — or some other character — should return to the well in The Expanse season 6. If the joke is popular enough in-universe, it would definitely be interesting to hear, say, Amos Burton's (Wes Chatham) version.

DONETSK, July 4. /TASS/.Intelligence agencies of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) prevented a terror attack organized by Ukraine's saboteurs on Tuesday, Deputy Commander of LPR Operational Forces, Eduard Basurin, said.
"Today, thanks to the vigilance of our residents, a terrorist act by Ukraine's intelligence services has been thwarted in Donetsk. At 9:00 (a.m.), local residents found a remote-controlled explosive device in a residential sector near a food industry academy. At present, the explosive device has been defused," the Donetsk News Agency quoted him as saying.
Earlier this day, the self-proclaimed Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) also reported that the LPR's State Security Ministry employees had defused a mine laid along the driving route of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission. According to the republic's Defense Ministry, a group of Ukrainian saboteurs had been operating in Lugansk.

Do you find yourself delaying or avoiding certain tasks or goals, then criticizing yourself for it? Contrary to common belief, procrastination is not a character flaw or a problem in itself. It is a coping mechanism can be unlearned and reprogrammed. In this book, Neil Fiore presents strategies and tools that can help anyone to overcome procrastination, improve your work quality, and free up guilt-free time to play and relax. In The Now Habit summary, we'll explain the whys and hows of procrastination, and briefly outline several powerful tools that you can use to overcome procrastination and unlock your productivity. For the more details, examples and tips, do get our complete book summary in text, graphic and audio formats.
Overview: The Now Habit
Most habitual procrastinators are aware of their tendencies, but can't break free from them no matter how hard they try. Why is that?
Common advice to "work harder", "just do it" or "get organized" simply don't work because they fail to address the root of the issue. Procrastination is a coping mechanism that we use to deal with the stress and anxiety associated with certain tasks and our self-image. The only way to eliminate it is to tackle the underlying fears and self-condemnation.
The Now Habit strategy help us overcome precisely those fears and insecurities, so we can harness the innate human drive present in all of us. It builds on a range of established psychological principles, such as positive psychology, the Maslow hierarchy of needs, and habit loops.
Aa you overcome your procrastination, you'll not only enjoy greater productivity, but also free yourself from the guilt and shame of putting things off, improve your self-esteem, and have more time for guilt-free enjoyment while improving the quality of your work.
The truth is, no one is an absolute procrastinator. There are always activities that we willingly dive into with enthusiasm.
Habits are learned when an activity is instantly followed by a reward. Procrastination is rewarding because it provides temporary relief from our stress and anxiety. In particular, we use procrastination to achieve 3 things:
• Express resentment or resistance toward authorities and our sense of powerlessness.
• Avoid the fear of failure or disappointment, which often comes from perfectionism and self-criticism.
• Avoid our fear of success.
Digest these powerful tips in minutes with our summary & infographic!
People who procrastinate habitually get stuck in a vicious cycle. They procrastinate because of certain fears or anxiety. The more they procrastinate, the more anxious they feel, and the more they criticize themselves and lose confidence. This leads to an even stronger urge to procrastinate. The cycle continues until they label themselves as a procrastinator, and can't even enjoy their leisure time without guilt.
In our full version of The Now Habit summary (click here for the full 14-page summary), we'll explain:
• Each of the fears/insecurities associated with procrastination; and
• How exactly you can start to identify your own procrastination patterns. When you understand when/how you procrastinate, and what are the attitudes, beliefs, self-talk and responses you use to avoid certain tasks, it'll be easier to tackle and overcome them.

The Now Habit strategy comes with several powerful tools to help you overcome procrastination and reprogram your habits. Here's a quick visual overview:
The Unschedule
Let's zoom in on one of our favorite tools–the UnSchedule–in more detail. It combines multiple behavioral/psychological principles to help you get moving and build confidence by (i) motivating you with short periods of focused work followed by immediate rewards, and (ii) showing a visible record of how much focused, uninterrupted work you've done daily.
Here are some simple guidelines to start implementing your UnSchedule:
• Start by filling your planner with nonwork activities (e.g. meals, exercise, traveling sleeping, meetings, recreation, socialization). You'll realize that you have only a few hours a day for real work.
• Fill in the work hours only after you've finished 30min of uninterrupted work. Don't record the time if you stop before 30 min, or step away for a snack/call.
• After each work period, reward yourself with a break or switch to a more enjoyable task. Before going for a recreational or social activity, take 30 minutes to work on a high-priority project.
• Add up the number of quality hours worked each day/week and give yourself a pat on the back. You may soon feel excited to see how many work hours you can clock each day.
• Devote at least 1 day a week just for rest and recreation (and perhaps some small chores). After a rest, you'll feel more motivated to return to your high-priority projects.
• Focus on "when is the next time I can start?" and keep taking 1 small step at a time. Don't try to finish an entire project, or work non-stop for 3 hours. Just aim for just 30 minutes of quality, focused work.
• Never end on a low note. If you're stuck, use another 5-10 minutes to at least come up with a partial solution.

Firefighters risk their lives every day just to protect us all. This kind of dedication can mean the difference in saving lives and property, so the equipment they depend on can't be taken lightly. Fire Hose is there manufactured with this specific purpose in mind.
Fire Hoses are manufactured in various braided material construction of synthetic yarns such as nylon blends, polyester yarns or various blends of high performance materials with elastomeric tube material such as EPDM to make the hoses water tight assemblies preventing water from wicking through the braided sleeves.
MSHA, UL Label and/or FM approval is available on many styles of these hoses to meet the unique standards and specifications set down by these institutions. The MSHA approval for instance offers Flame Resistant Cover material.
Fire Hoses are generally manufactured with the outer jacket material to supply additional moisture and abrasion resistance. Various materials of construction are designed to provide minimum weight with maximum ruggedness.
The variety of end fittings and adapters on these hoses are manufactured usually of brass to prevent sparking, eliminating further fire hazards. NST and NPSH are the most common thread configurations for Fire Hose Fittings and Adapters.

Kingston,ON- The Edmonton Stingers are set to meet the Fraser Valley Bandits in the CEBL Summer Series championship game on Sunday afternoon . The two teams took very different paths to get to this point.
Led by the core of a team that lost in the semi-finals a season ago, the Stingers were one of the favourites coming into the tournament. Fraser Valley, on the other hand, finished last in the CEBL in 2019, and brought back only one player from that 4-16 team. The Bandits have been fuelled by their underdog status throughout the Summer Series.
The semi-final performances of both Edmonton and Fraser Valley were microcosms of their teams and Summer Series journeys. Fraser Valley took the most difficult path possible. On Saturday they scored a total of 50 points through three quarters, turning the ball over far too many times against the Honey Badger zone, and becoming increasingly frustrated with the referees, their opponents, and themselves.
The frustration culminated in the third quarter when Marcus Capers, after being run over by the Mack truck also known as Owen Klassen (Acadia), reacted to the block call with about as much tact as Will Ferrell, in Old School, telling his teammates to keep their composure. Capers was promptly ejected from the game, and things didn't exactly improve from there. At the end of the third quarter Hamilton had built their lead to 14. But in typical Fraser Valley fashion, at the time that most teams would fold, they dug their heels in and became stronger and tougher. The fourth quarter was an absolute war. There was Junior Cadougan and Briante Weber talking non-stop junk every time there was a stoppage in play (and sometimes even during the play). There was a full-out scrum on the floor underneath the Hamilton basket that resulted in a Derek Cooke Jr. technical foul.
It was never particularly pretty on the offensive end, but if you enjoy watching extremely competitive people putting everything on the line as if their lives depended on the outcome, it was must see television. And in a grind-it-out, mix-it-up, physical, no blood no foul, war of attrition, there's no team whose chances you should like more than the Bandits.
This Bandit defensive possession during the Elam Ending was absolutely beautiful.
I also loved the Fraser Valley reaction when Olu Ashaolu scored the game-winning bucket. When he first ran onto the court, Kyle Julius was about two steps away from going full Jimmy V. When Valvano was asked about that, he said that if they won the national championship he was supposed to hug Dereck Whittenburg, but that in all the commotion he couldn't find him. I wonder who Julius' "hug guy" was today.
Joe Raso commented on this for CBC, but I think it bears repeating. The optimal offensive strategy in the Elam Ending is really pretty simple – don't change your strategy! Hamilton was three points away from the target score while Fraser Valley still needed nine points to win. Below are clips of three of the first four Hamilton possessions while they were three points away from winning (the other was the travelling call shown above).
If Fraser Valley's semi-final was as difficult as possible, Edmonton's was rarely in doubt. Edmonton won on Saturday because they were the better, more complete team, and because they went out on the floor and played like it.
In my semi-final preview I speculated on how Ottawa might defend reigning CEBL MVP, Xavier Moon. It turns out that they opted for a strategy that they didn't show in the first match-up – they switched nearly every Moon ball screen or hand-off, and helped early any time Moon tried to attack. It also turns out that it didn't matter. Edmonton is so deep, so talented, and so confident, that they are capable of having a different hero in nearly every game. During the Summer Series their hero has most often been Moon, Jordan Baker (Alberta), or even Travis Daniels. On Saturday it was Mathieu Kamba. Kamba was unstoppable, scoring 26 points on only 12 field goal attempts. Kamba's shot chart is a thing of beauty to analytics nerds around the world. 12 field goal attempts – six from three and six at the rim. The man shot from the most efficient spots on the floor, and damn was he efficient on Saturday.
We'll keep the numbers to an absolute minimum today. We've done more than enough number crunching over the past two weeks. For anyone who's curious, my model projects Edmonton to come home with the title in 65.0% of simulations. That's it for the probabilities or advanced stats talk, I promise.
Championship Game: #1 Edmonton vs. #2 Fraser Valley (Sunday at 12:00 PM)
Round Robin Stats
What happened the first time they met?
Fraser Valley never trailed, jumping out to a 6-0 lead and never looking back. Mid-way through the fourth quarter they led by as many as 26 points, before cruising to a 113-100 victory.
Both teams had six players in double figures. Fraser Valley was led by Cameron Forte with 28, Kyle Johnson with 19, and Jahenns Manigat with 16. For the Stingers, Adika Peter-McNeilly (Ryerson), Xavier Moon, and Mathieu Kamba, had 18, 16, and 15, respectively.
What should you watch for?
1. I went into significant detail discussing pace in my semi-finals preview. Fraser Valley will want to slow the game down. Without Cameron Forte, they're unlikely to win another track meet against a team as talented as Edmonton. The Bandits will prefer if the score is in the 70s, similar to their semi-final, rather than in the 100s (like their first match-up versus Edmonton).
2. In the round-robin stage, Edmonton had six active players average in double figures (Moon, Baker, Daniels, Kamba, Peter-McNeilly, and Brody Clarke (Alberta)), while Fraser Valley had three (Manigat, Duvivier, and Cadougan). Championship games often have an unlikely hero. Will we see one today? It could be someone like Mambi Diawara (Calgary), Kareem South, Kyle Johnson, or Marcus Capers.
3. It goes without saying, but in a championship game there's no reason to hold anything back. As a result, both coaches have the opportunity to throw the kitchen sink at this game, so to speak. What do Kyle Julius and Jermaine Small have up their sleeves? I can't wait to find out.
The CEBL Summer Series has been a smashing success. It went off without a hitch, and the on-court product has been excellent. The CEBL has done a great job of showcasing just how much basketball talent our country has produced in recent years. It won't be long before the CEBL is a popular, well-known product all over Canada. More than any of the questions above, today I want to see a well-played, entertaining championship game that is a fitting ending to what has been such a fantastic tournament.

A key committee in the European Parliament voted by a large majority in favor of triggering the EU's so-called Article 7 process against Hungary, which could ultimately lead to EU sanctions for failing to uphold the bloc's core values.
MEPs from the Justice and Home Affairs Committee voted by 37 votes to 19 to back a resolution, drafted by Dutch Green MEP Judith Sargentini, which says the situation in Hungary exposes "a clear risk of a serious breach of the values referred to in Article 2 of the Treaties" and calls on the Article 7(1) procedure.
Sargentini's text highlights concerns about the independence of the judiciary, academic freedom, corruption, freedom of expression, and the rights of migrants in Hungary, among other issues.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's government has been accused by critics at home and abroad of putting Hungary on the road to autocracy and reintroducing undemocratic practices. Earlier this month, the Hungarian parliament passed controversial legislation banning anyone from assisting or providing information to migrants and asylum-seekers.
You may like
The government has repeatedly dismissed such criticism as overblown and unwarranted meddling in Hungary's domestic affairs.
If the full Parliament votes in favor on Sargentini's resolution at a plenary session in September, the assembly will formally ask the Council to trigger the first of a three-step process that could lead to Hungary being stripped of its voting rights in the Council.
Although the final step of sanctions is unlikely — as all other EU member countries would have to vote in favor — a decision to begin the process could damage Hungary's international standing.
A breakdown of Monday's vote showed that eight members of the European People's Party, the center-right grouping that includes Orbán's Fidesz party, voted in favor of Sargentini's resolution.
The EPP has been criticized for keeping Fidesz in its ranks, though many EPP members argue that this has helped the group to keep Orbán in check, temper some of his impulses and avoid a problem that could be much more serious. Orbán himself said in a recent speech that he wanted to stay in the EPP and try to reform it.
The vote could add fuel to already strained West-East relations in the EU, just days before EU leaders gather in Brussels for a European Council summit to discuss, among other topics, the sensitive issue of migration. Orbán has been among the strongest critics of EU migration policies.
Péter Szijjártó, Hungary's foreign affairs minister, played down the importance of Monday's vote. In an official statement on the ministry's website, he said Brussels was "playing to Georges Soros' tune," while "in Hungary, we look at the interests of the Hungarian people."
Orbán has often accused Soros, an American-Hungarian businessman and philanthropist, of undermining Hungary's national interests — a charge Soros rejects.

Incontinence is an annoying and sometimes embarrassing issue.
Solving it can be even more of a challenge, especially if multiple factors are at play, such as medical issues, prescriptions, and illness.
This isn't something to be ashamed of, however. It's a common issue and one that can usually be fixed with a doctor's assistance.
It is important always to work with your doctor to address the underlying issue behind the incontinence, of course. No one wants it to turn into a chronic problem. But even when you are working with a doctor, incontinence can persist.
There are options, but one of the most simple are underwear liners.
These liners are designed to absorb and hold urine without feeling wet or releasing the odor.
There are benefits beyond this, however.
Benefits of Always Wearing Underwear Liners
Wearing liners or guards keep odors at bay, allowing you to carry on with your life as usual, and they can be surprisingly economical.
Especially for those with only occasional incontinence or mild incontinence, these kinds of underwear liners offer complete discretion, allowing you to continue with life as usual without feeling awkward or embarrassed.
The benefits to you are innumerable, but let's take the time to explore just a few here.
Always Prepared
Incontinence can be an unpredictable thing. If your case is mild or at least partially controlled with medication, it may not be something you struggle with every day
However, the days you do struggle, you want to make sure you have protection in place.
Wearing liners each day ensures that you are proactively protected, without worrying whether or not you will need it on a given day.
Odor Control
One thing that may be constantly on your mind when dealing with incontinence is that urine has a distinctive odor.
That odor can lead to you feeling uncomfortable around people, and perhaps people feeling uncomfortable around you. It isn't a pleasant thought for something that is truly nothing to be ashamed of.
First, let's remember that other people's thoughts are not your problem. That said, no one wants their confidence drained by worrying about what others are thinking about them.
Underwear liners can help to eliminate this problem.
Liners designed specifically for incontinence include a mechanism to help eliminate and neutralize odor, ensuring that you can continue on with life with confidence.
They may do this through a mechanism within the liner, or with a fragrance that covers the scent.
Either way, liners and guards can help you go through life without worrying about troublesome odor.
Customizable to Your Needs
Incontinence affects people of all sexes and races. Your issues are unique, and what is right for your body may not be right for all bodies. Contrariwise, what is right for other bodies may not be right for you.
Thankfully, underwear liners are not one size fits all.
Liners and guards come in a range of sizes, widths, and absorbencies so that you can tailor the products you use to your unique needs.
Manufacturers cater well to their client base and produce liners in all manner of sizes and shapes, allowing you to find a solution that fits you in particular.
This enables you to test out different levels of absorbency, designs, and odor technologies to assess your needs and determine what the best option is for you.
The stereotype of liners and guards are that they are large, loud, and bulky. And who wants that?
However, modern liners utilize technology that allows them to be thin and discrete, while still being absorbent and blocking odor.
This means that using them is easy to do and easy to keep to yourself, avoiding any awkwardness in the office or at social events.
While incontinence is very common and nothing to be ashamed of, most people like to maintain a bit of privacy surrounding bathroom matters, and underwear liners allow you to do just that.
Something you are going to be wearing all day should be comfortable. If it isn't, what's the point?
With new technology, wearing liners can feel like you are wearing nothing at all.
Which is good, because incontinence without an absorbent barrier certainly feels like something and not a pleasant something.
Because of how newer liners are designed, they can be extra soft and breathable, making sure you stay comfortable all day (and night) long.
This helps you forget you are wearing them in the first place, supplying you with even more confidence as you go about your day.
Continue Your Life
Incontinence doesn't need to interfere with your life.
Is it an obnoxious problem you would rather not deal with? Sure. But something to be ashamed of or let discourage you from living your best life? Perish the thought.
Because underwear liners are now designed both with comfort and discretion in mind, no one needs to know unless you decide to tell them.
Your private matters stay private because new liners are made to be part of your life, not a detraction from it.
If this is going to be something you use on a regular basis, you want to make sure it isn't cost-prohibitive. After all, what's the point of something that can help you if you can't afford to use it?
The good news is that modern underwear liners are surprisingly affordable, usually less than a dollar apiece, and can be bought in bulk, driving the price down further.
In addition, they may be able to be billed as medical equipment, making the cost even lower to you. You have to check with your vendor and your insurance provider, but it never hurts to ask.
Incontinence can feel like a heavy burden, but it doesn't need to be.
Underwear liners don't carry a stigma or need to interfere with how you live your daily life.
They can be an inclusion that keeps you feeling clean, dry, and comfortable all day while keeping odor away and helping you to feel confident in your everyday life.

WATERTOWN (AP) — Lawmakers in Watertown voted to keep retail marijuana shops from opening in the northern New York city.
The city council opted Watertown out of New York's new marijuana legalization law after a marathon public hearing Monday night, according to WWNY-TV.
New York approved a legalization bill in March that will allow sales of recreational-use cannabis. Sales are expected to begin next year. But the state law allows local governments to pass stricter rules on marijuana use and to prohibit retail dispensaries.
Twenty-six people spoke at the hearing, most in favor of opting into the state law.

Limited studies pertaining to evolutionary history and intraspecific diversity of Macrotermes genus have been carried out by researchers. Such studies are vital as from phylogeny we can understand the origin of species in a particular region. Thus, in this study, we investigated the phylogenetic relationships and genetic diversity among the population of Macrotermes carbonarius around USM campus. Seventeen Macrotermes carbonarius colonies were used to conduct a molecular genotyping study and the mitochondrial (COII) gene was used as marker. The data obtained were analyzed using T-Coffee, Clustal X, Mega 7.0 and DnaSP software programs. Our results show one main monophyletic clade that consists of two groups: HP1 and HP2. The samples from Stadium Hoki were classified in HP2, differing from the other populations studies by one singleton base. Our HP2 shows some similarity with some sequence from Pasoh Forest Reserved Malaysia, suggesting a state diversity connection. The disparity index suggests that all the samples are homogeneous populations, supported by the low value of mean pairwise distance between the samples. This study will serve as a platform for scientific community to enhance the knowledge on the phylogeny and genetic diversity of Macrotermes genus in South East Asia region.
Key words: Macrotermes carbonarius, phylogeny, genetic diversity, haplotype, mitochondrial COII gene

Israel Cycling Academy confirms Travis McCabe signing
WorldTour team Israel Cycling Academy confirms the signing of Travis McCabe for 2020.
Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! Download the app.
Israel Cycling Academy has finalized a deal to sign Travis McCabe, several weeks after rumors emerged that the American sprinter was headed to the WorldTour team.
McCabe, winner of four stages of the Tour of Utah and three stages of the Tour of Langkawi, will make his WorldTour debut in 2020 at age 30.
"ICA has always raced in the States and I feel like I have always competed against the guys in international races as well, so it is pretty cool to finally come aboard, especially now that Israel Cycling Academy has made the step up to WorldTour," McCabe said in a release.
McCabe has made steady progress through the domestic North American cycling scene since 2013, when he turned professional with the Smart Stop squad. In 2016 McCabe asserted himself as a versatile sprinter in the domestic ranks, winning stages of the Joe Martin Stage Race, Tour of the Gila, and Tour of Utah.
The successful season helped McCabe sign with the UCI Pro Continental squad Team UnitedHealthCare for 2017, and he rode for the outfit for two seasons. McCabe was one of several riders to find himself without a contract for 2019 after UHC dissolved following the 2018 season. He inked a small deal with Floyd's Pro Cycling in order to stay in the sport.
"I feel like one of my goals has always been about progression, and this is another part of it," McCabe said. "I want to prove to myself and others that I have always belonged in Europe racing at the top level and so I am really looking forward to the what the future within the Academy holds."
The decision allowed McCabe to turn heads in 2019; he won stages at Langkawi, Gila, and the points jersey at Utah. He also finished a close second to Peter Sagan at the opening stage of the Amgen Tour of California. Those results grabbed the attention of Israel Cycling Academy, which stepped into the WorldTour ranks after purchasing the WorldTour racing license from Team Katusha-Alpecin.
The squad has hired veteran springer Andre Greipel for 2020, and McCabe will help with the German's lead out.
"Travis has gotten some wins every year and although he has not raced so much in Europe, he does have a lot of experience," said Kjell Carlström, ICA's director, in a release. "Travis will therefore also play an important part of the lead-out."

Learn to adjust you electric trailer brakes
To assure your trip will be safety you must have well-adjusted brakes on your trailer. Usually the brakes are controlled by the tow vehicle. But in order to have a safe drive you need to adjust your brake shoes.
Follow these steps:
- Park the car on flat ground and place chocks on the wheels to the opposite side you will work on. Use a floor jack to raise the car with the wheel slightly off the ground.
- On the outside of the brake drum backing plate you will find the rubber access plug. Pry it out with a flat screwdriver
- Start rotating the wheel like it move forward. You have to tighten the star adjustment wheel to the moment you feel braking pressure.
- While moving the wheel in the same direction rotate the star adjuster in the opposite direction as the first time until the wheel rotates easily. Put back the rubber plug.
- Put down the car and repeat the actions for all the wheels.

Prometheus®: Demonstrator of Future Engine passed its Definition Review 02-04-2019 | 3 minutes
- ArianeGroup has just finalized the Definition Review of the, of the Prometheus® engine demonstrator, on 1 February 2019 with the support of European Space Agency, CNES and DLR
- It demonstrates the pertinence of the design and the technological choices made and confirms the program's ambitious cost objectives
- Prometheus® is a European demonstrator for a very low cost and potentially reusable engine
- The bench tests of the first two examples of the engine are scheduled for as early as 2020
Prometheus® is an ESA program, initiated with the French space agency CNES (Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales). The contract awarded to ArianeGroup by ESA in December 2017 covers the design, construction and testing of the first two examples of the very low cost engine demonstrator, which uses liquid oxygen and methane technology and is potentially reusable.
The innovative technologies and industrial processes developed for this demonstrator program will also be used for the propulsion upgrades of Ariane 6.
The Definition Review of the program was held from 30 November to 1 February on the ArianeGroup sites in Vernon (France) and Ottobrunn (Germany). It was carried out by ArianeGroup and ESA teams supported by experts from the French and German space agencies, CNES and DLR.
This successful milestone of Prometheus® program shows that the teams at ArianeGroup and their partners were able to create an innovative design in an extremely short period of time, barely one year after contract signature with ESA. This success demonstrates the pertinence of our technological choices and confirms the ambitious cost objectives we set for ourselves. It perfectly illustrates the efficiency of the new working methods we implemented with our European partners. This step is extremely important, less than one year before Space19+, the ESA Ministerial Conference. It encouraged us to be ever more daring in terms of technological developments, organization and working methods, so that we could make the European launchers always more competitive to fulfill the missions for our institutional and commercial customers. Thank you to all the teams for this crucial success, which encourages space Europe to go still further.
The goal of the Prometheus® demonstrator is to be able to build future liquid propellant engines in the 100 tons thrust class, for a cost ten times less than that involved in building an existing engine such as the Vulcain®2.
The success of a technological challenge of this nature depends on a completely new design: over and above the change in the traditional Ariane propellant (switching from the liquid oxygen and hydrogen combination to liquid oxygen and methane), the demonstrator will entail major changes, including digitization of engine control and diagnostics. It also depends on the use of innovative design and production methods and tools, including construction using 3D printing in a connected factory environment.
The next major milestone of the program is the Manufacturing Readiness Review (MRR) to start the production of two demonstrators in the first half of 2019 Testing of those two examples is scheduled on the P5 test stand at the DLR in Lampoldshausen (Germany) in 2020.

Angioedema is swelling under the skin. The swelling is similar to what you see with hives, but it occurs in the deeper layers of skin.
The swelling usually affects the eyes or lips but can show up anywhere in the body. Any swelling that blocks the airway is a medical emergency. You must call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency room immediately.
Allergies are the most common cause of angioedema, but you can develop swelling from other conditions. Dr. Tano classifies angioedema into four types based on their causes:
Allergic angioedema is the most common kind and is usually caused by food or environmental allergies.
Certain medications, like penicillin, aspirin, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), can trigger angioedema.
HAE is the rarest cause of angioedema. It develops because the body doesn't make enough of a blood protein called C1 esterase inhibitor, resulting in fluid leakage through the walls of the blood vessels.
Idiopathic angioedema means the cause of the swelling isn't known. However, there are possible triggers like stress, minor infections, or too much exercise. Highs and lows in body temperature might also cause this type of swelling.
Sudden swelling is the primary symptom of angioedema. You might also have hives (welts) with the swelling. The swelling can affect one area, creating a line of swelling, or it can spread out. You could also feel pain or warmth in the area.
If you have hives with your angioedema, they can be very itchy.
Older adults and people of Hispanic descent with angioedema are more likely to have severe symptoms.
How angioedema is treated will depend on how severe your symptoms are. Dr. Tano customizes your treatment plan to best meet your needs. If your symptoms are mild, you might not need treatment.
To manage symptoms, Dr. Tano could recommend:
If you have angioedema symptoms, Dr. Tano can help you determine why and get you the right treatment.

SWAT firearms qualification training: Why quality over quantity counts
Effective firearms training can have a round count barely reaching double digits, where every shot is an opportunity to learn and gain valuable information
The PoliceOne Academy features courses on firearms training, tactics and handling, as well as defensive tactics, subject control and de-escalation for law enforcement officers. Complete the courses to improve and retain critical skills to help improve your safety in the field. Visit PoliceOne Academy to learn more and for an online demo.
Many people believe you need to send thousands of rounds down range to be a solid shooter and, while it's true that practice makes perfect (and always will), when it comes to firearms training on a budget, less can be more.
I served as a sniper in Her Majesty's Royal Marines Commandos and represented the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Combat Shooting Team in competitions both at home and abroad. Some of the most beneficial drills we ran did not involve firing a single round. Both dry-fire and hold drills were the foundation of my shooting skills.
As a sniper, training is all about quality over quantity. A day of sniper training can have a round count barely reaching double digits, where every shot is an opportunity to learn and gain valuable information. There is no reason the same principles should not be applied to other platforms.
After moving to the United States and becoming an American citizen, I entered into law enforcement and became a sniper team leader and a lead firearms instructor on a SWAT team. I was asked to develop a SWAT firearms qualification with the only guideline being, "Keep the round count low." Unless you work for a well-funded agency, budget is going to dictate all training parameters.
Developing a dynamic qualification
I knew I wanted to develop a dynamic qualification incorporating movement and reloads, forcing the shooter to have to think about more than one task. I considered four elements during my planning:
- Range restrictions. Fortunately, we had a perfect range – Tac Pro Shooting Center offered a 100/200-yard open-air range nearby – however, I also wanted the course of fire to be such that it could be shot on most rifle ranges. Since 100-yard ranges are common, qualification would be held to within such a distance standard.
- Limiting the round count. How low is too low? Shooting a group requires three or more rounds at the same point of aim. Being a Royal Marine I like to keep the numbers rounded up, so I chose five rounds per phase.
- Number of phases. Having shooters move to different firing lines forces them to think about multiple tasks. They need to concentrate on what they are doing at that particular moment and then think about what they have to do next. This is also the reason for magazine changes, low round count and changing the point of aim from center mass to head shots.
- Time limit. If you have two people to run through a qualification, it won't matter if it takes five or 10 minutes per shooter; however, when you have 20 or more people to run through, you need to keep the time limit, scoring and reset time to a minimum.
Since this qualification course was developed specifically for a SWAT team, full kit was worn during the shoot. Obviously, you can run it in light order if you do not have a plate carrier and/or helmet. Wearing a level III plate carrier not only adds weight, making you breathe harder, it restricts your movement and alters your normal firing position.
After running the course several times and making some final tweaks, I presented the outline below to the SWAT team command for consideration.
Equipment Requirements
- A rifle and a pistol;
- Three magazines of five rounds for both rifle and pistol; Fifteen rounds for rifle and 15 rounds for pistol;
- Full SWAT team entry kit: Plate carrier, helmet, eye and ear protection;
- Barricade;
- Target with reasonable scoring system (we opted for the C-SAT target);
- Shot timer;
- Score sheet.
Course of Fire
Set up a target 75 yards from the barricade. All ammunition and magazines are carried by the shooter.
Before starting, the shooter should take the time to determine their best, most comfortable position for shooting off of a barricade, whether standing or conventional/reverse kneeling. At this time, the shooter should also determine how much pressure to put on the barricade and rifle. Too much pressure can lead to reduced stability, which generally increases time, delays follow-up shots and negatively affects accuracy.
Once the shooter is prepared, the start position is rifle loaded and made-ready (one in the chamber) and positioned comfortably at the barricade. Initiate the start using a shot timer or verbal command.
Rifle Fire
- While utilizing the barricade, engage the target with five rifle rounds aimed at center mass;
- After the fifth round is fired and the bolt locks back, reload rifle on the move while continuing to the 50-yard line;
- At the 50-yard line, engage the target with five rounds aimed at center mass from any firing position;
- After the fifth round is fired, reload rifle on the move while continuing to the 25-yard line;
- At the 25-yard line, engage the target with five rounds aimed at the head portion of the target from a standing, unsupported position.
This completes the rifle portion of the qualification and forces a transition to the pistol.
Pistol Fire
- While transitioning from rifle to pistol, move to the 20-yard line;
- At the 20-yard line, engage the target with five rounds aimed at center mass;
- After the fifth round is fired and the slide locks back, reload pistol on the move while continuing to the 10-yard line;
- At the 10-yard line, engage the target with five rounds aimed at center mass;
- When empty, reload the pistol while moving to the 5-yard line;
- At the 5-yard line, engage the target with five rounds aimed at the head portion of the target to finish the qualification. Time stops on the last shot fired.
This completes the qualification course.
Scoring is the same for pistol and rifle. Any shot out of the center box or head is minus two points. Any shot outside of the body is minus five points. Any head shots not in the head are minus five points. All of this has to be done in under one minute forty-five seconds (1:45) and with a possible score of 150 points if shot clean. A passing score of 135 (90 percent) or more is needed to pass the course.
What to remember during qualification
Shooting positions: Moving in full kit is going to be slower than without. Getting in and out of shooting positions is going to be drastically slower the closer to the ground you choose to go. My most stable position is to shoot from kneeling. Not only do you make yourself a smaller target if you find yourself getting shot at, but it offers a solid position you can quickly get in and out of. I did see people shoot from prone and finish within the time, but they were not the norm.
Hold over: The closer you get to the target, the greater the potential for deviation from your point of aim and point of impact. Deviation really becomes an issue at the 25-yard line – this usually means holding approximately two inches high. Any shots that fall out of the head, either low or completely off target, are minus five points. In a real-world application, forgetting your hold over can be the difference between making a hostage-rescue shot or hitting the hostage.
This particular course of fire was used as an annual qualification and as part of the selection process. The course was also designed to incorporate everything that might have to be done on a SWAT call-out or any engagement with an adversary.
Delivering accurate fire, closing the distance to the target and being able to make smart tactical decisions are the foundations for any successful fighting force. Just sending lead down range is not an option.
We used this course of fire for almost four years with great success. Not only did it challenge newcomers, but it kept current team members on their toes. We were able to evaluate each and every member's proficiency level and it only cost the agencies 30 rounds.
Just because ammo has become easier to find and the price has generally returned to normal, it does not mean you have to blow a ton of money to train. You really can do more with less. I encourage you to give it a shot.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the loser of the recent Bolivian presidential election. He came in last, with single digits in the exit polls, which I'm sure you'll agree is a dismal showing compared to Evo's commanding lead. But hey! Why let a little thing like one's own massive unpopularity deter one from uttering bitter and butthurt speculations about the undisputed winner, eh?
Exit polls proclaimed Evo Morales the victor at nearly 60% support. Last month, Tuto Quiroga announced, after learning that early polls showed six out of every ten Bolivians voting for Morales, that if it were true, he would eat his watch.
The official data up to now, with 57.4% of the votes counted, give Evo Morales the win with almost 55% support, followed by conservative businessman Samuel Doria Medina (28.6%) and Quiroga in last place, at 11.16%.
"We'll see, there's still time, but first let's wait for the results," said the opposition candidate during a press conference, assuring that he has enough tomato sauce, as well as llajua (a spicy sauce, typically Bolivian) to carry out his promise.
Now that the predictions appear to be coming true, many Bolivians are coming out with sarcasm on social media to demand that Quiroga keep his promise.
"That's why Evo Morales wants 60%, to see me eat my watch," said the ex-president, ironically.
On Tuesday, Quiroga also criticized the actions of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE), as the organism took more than 24 hours to make public the official figures of the vote count due to technical problems and a supposed threat of computer sabotage.
Quiroga denounced the TSE as "servile" and "inefficient", claiming that it is manipulating the results to "rob" the opposition and inflate the vote count for Morales in rural areas.
"Never in the recent democratic history of Bolivia has there been such a show of ineptitude, incapacity and inefficiency on the part of the electoral organism, which makes one think they are manipulating and 'cooking' the results," maintained Quiroga.
It is the second time that Quiroga has been defeated by Morales in an election, as both leaders also contended in the elections of 2005, in which Morales became the first indigenous president of Bolivia.
Translation mine.
Poor Tuto. He's been virtually irrelevant for the last ten years. During the 2005 election, which he lost to Evo, he resorted to scare tactics which proved to be empty. He put out ads with dramatic background music, in which actors posing as textile workers claimed that Evo's win would scare off international buyers for their products. Nothing could be further from the truth, as Evo's record to date has shown; even the IMF and the World Bank are praising him, which is pretty ironic since he sent them packing, figuring that homegrown solutions to reinvest gas revenues into the local economy (à la Chavecito) would do the trick better. And they did.
So now there's nothing left for Tuto to keep himself relevant, except to snipe at Evo's impressive results. 2005's, for instance, was at the time the largest margin of popular support for any Bolivian presidential candidate, ever — and Evo's support has only increased since then. And of course, to threaten to eat his watch.
Tuto, better stock up on hot sauce. And maybe a case of beer, too. You're gonna need something to wash down those bitter, bitter words!

I'm almost done with my tt conversion, just have to find a way to tap the oil return lines to the oil pan. How did some of you go about this ? I want to try to get it done without having to get it welded. Any advice is welcomed.
I'm almost done with my tt conversion, just have to find a way to tap the oil return lines to the oil pan. How did some of you go about this ? I want to try to get it done without having to get it welded. Any advice is welcomed.
Figure out the bolt size. It is the same size as the 10mm on the valve cover. M6 I believe. Then figure out the thread pitch of said bolt. Get a 6mm drill bit, drill the bolt holes through the flange taped to the pan so you know you have proper bolt position. Then get your M6x?? tap and tap the bitch.
Welding really will be less of a headache. I did not weld mine because that part of my oil pan is cast aluminum. The oil pan itself is not thick enough to tap, so you will have to add material or use a nut on the other side. To make sure my tapped holes would have enough thread, I added some thickness to the outside of my oil pan with jb-weld (not really recommending that), but the aluminum pan was like 1/8th inch to start while the steel pan is only something like 22gauge. I cut the stock oil returns and used pcv hose to attach them to npt barbs that I threaded into the tapped holes on the pan. You could probably use some sort of npt nut on the inside to do something similar on the steel pan. I had previously used nuts and bolts and some tapped holes/grinding/rtv/etc to try to get the stock returns to work unmodified, but I could never get that leak-free. You may have better luck on a steel pan and if you want to do that just drill the bolt holes and the middle hole and run nuts and bolts to mount it. A gasket of some sort is a must with that method. Before you do that though- remember that, with no welding, you will (at a minimum) have to drop the pan to remove the returns. You will have difficulty removing them at all if you put the nuts on the inside and don't weld them. I can't say I recommend doing that. With the npt barbs, I haven't had any leaks at all.
Hmmm, good point. I didn't really think about the thickness of the pan, You could drill a hole, and then tack weld nuts on the inside of the pan, just as mitsubishi did.
I've decided to go with this I'm going to just cut the ends of the oil lines off and just use this high temp hose to clamp it together. What do you think ?
I can't really tell what that is, but it looks threaded. If it's some sort of bulkhead fitting, it should work, as long as you're careful with the size of the hole you drill. Clamping the lines will work fine, but you will need to figure out a leak-free connection to the pan and that is difficult without welding.
I think this is correct, although I may be wrong and just have some dumb idea in my head.'
What about teflon tape?
Weld flanges on it or you could do it like I did but I wished I would have welded it instead.
here is a better pic. Yes it is threaded and yes I'm going to use some teflon tape. I would weld some flanges on, but I don't have a welder. green lantern, I was going to do your method but this just seemed easier. Now I just have to find a 45 66 drill bit I think or something to make the whole with.
