The European Tour heads for Switzerland this week and the Omega European Masters at spectacular Crans-sur-Sierre. Thomas Bjorn of Denmark is the defending champion.
High in the Swiss Alps, Crans-sur-Sierre has, perhaps, the most stunning backdrop of any course on the European Tour. The layout dates from 1908, though it was re-designed in the late 1920s then altered by Seve back in 1999.
This is one of the European Tour's oldest tournament venues, and this will be the 41st hosting of the event. Past winners include Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo, Lee Westwood, Luke Donald and Sergio Garcia.
In 1971 Baldovino Dassu made history at Crans-sur-Sierre when he became the first player to shoot 60 on the European Tour. Jamie Spence managed the same score in the final round in 1992. He clawed back a 10 shot deficit and went on to win the title in a play-off against Anders Forsbrand.
In last year's tournament Thomas Bjorn played a superb final round of 62 to finish four shots clear of Martin Kaymer. It was the Dane's second straight European Tour win, just a week on from his victory in the 2011 Johnnie Walker Championship.
Bjorn will be back in Switzerland to defend his title but, as ever, will face strong competition from an impressive international field.
Winner last week at Gleneagles, Paul Lawrie will be back in action. The Scot will be looking to continue the superb run of form that has seen him climb to 30th on the Official World Golf Ranking. Other favourites this week will include Peter Hanson and former winners Alex Noren and Miguel Angel Jimenez.
Venue: Crans-sur-Sierre, Crans Montana, Switzerland
Date: August 30 – September 2
Course stats: par 71, 6,822 yards
Purse: €2,100,000 Winner: €350,000
Defending Champion: Thomas Bjorn (-20)
TV Coverage:
Thursday 30 – Live on Sky Sports 1 from 10.30am
Friday 31 – Live on Sky Sports 1 from 10.30am
Saturday 1 – Live on Sky Sports 4 from 12pm
Sunday 2 – Live on Sky Sports 4 from 12pm
Player Watch:
Jamie Donaldson – Tied third here last year, Donaldson has come on leaps and bounds this year with a victory in Ireland and a top-10 finish in the USPGA Championship. He obviously likes this course and could have won in 2011 had it not been for a disappointing final round.
Miguel Angel Jimenez – The veteran Spaniard is a former winner and has a great record at this layout. It's short and strategic, ideally suited to his game. Watch for him to feature again.
Paul Lawrie – It's difficult to ignore the form of Lawrie at the moment. Last week's winner, he's riding the crest of a wave following the confirmation of his place in Ollie's Ryder Cup team. He could repeat Bjorn's 2011 feat and win back-to-back: Gleneagles then Crans.
Key holes: 5-7. Three straight par 4s measuring under 340 yards. All could be driveable depending on tee position and wind direction – This should be where players kick-start their rounds with a couple of birdies. However, danger awaits the overly greedy.
Where next?

REJOICE! GOD IS HERE! It had been nine months since the baby was conceived and the journey to Bethlehem was very difficult. And there was no room for them in the Inn so they were sleeping in the stable. Emperor Augustus had issued a decree concerning registration so Joseph and Mary had made the long trip from Nazareth to Bethlehem as required. Since there was no room for them in the Inn they were sleeping in the stable. And the time came for the baby to be born. (Luke 2:1-6) Here was a pregnant young lady about to give birth just as God had promised and directed. But these were no ordinary parents and this was no ordinary baby. As the Lord had said through the prophet "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" (which means "God with us.") (Matthew 1:23)
There in the stable Jesus was born, the one who was to "save his people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21), and there he was cradled in a manger (the feeding box of animals).There was no room in the Inn for Jesus that night and for many people there still is no room in this world for Jesus and no room in their hearts. But for those like Mary and Joseph and the shepherds there is always room for Jesus and His presence always brings rejoicing and when Jesus is present God is always with us and He can and will save us from our sins.
When God came to earth that night so many years ago to rest in a manger with excited parents and inquisitive shepherds and glorious angels most people were asleep and unaware that things in the world had changed. The world would never be the same now that God was in the world in human flesh. Things had changed for the better. Salvation had come to mankind because God was now with us. But many in the world today are unaware that the baby that many are celebrating on this Christmas Eve is God taking on flesh so that we may be saved from our sins. As we rejoice in the birth of Jesus at this time of year may we help those around us who are still spiritually asleep be made conscious of who Jesus really is…God with us. REJOICE! GOD IS HERE!

Meghan Gordan | SPC Global | September 23, 2019
New Mexico's ambitious target to produce half its electricity from renewable sources by 2030 will not come at the expense of the state's booming oil and gas sector, Energy Secretary Sarah Cottrell Propst said in an interview with S&P Global Platts.
Still, Cottrell Propst thinks the state needs to diversify its economy beyond oil and gas, the largest contributor to state revenue.
"If global oil prices go down, that affects us in a negative way," she said. "So we need to diversify."
New Mexico is the No. 3 oil-producing state in the US, behind Texas and North Dakota.
The state passed both Alaska and California in oil production in 2017. In March, New Mexico even out-pumped Venezuela for the first time and appears on track to continue the trend.
Asked if projections for a slowdown in global oil demand put New Mexico's economy in jeopardy, Cottrell Propst said investment still happening in the Permian is on a "decadal scale."
"They're moving offices here and making the kinds of investments that companies make when they're in a place for the long haul," she said. "We expect this to continue for years to come."
"We can produce here at really competitive prices," she added. "I think they're betting on this being the place to be even with those question marks on the horizon."
New Mexico pumped 885,000 b/d in June, slipping from an all-time high of 899,000 b/d in May.
Adrienne Sandoval, director of the state energy department's oil conservation division, expects production to level out but not fall.
New Mexico's oil output is concentrated in the southeast of the state, where it shares the Delaware and Permian basins with Texas, although crude coming out of New Mexico has been lighter than Midland grades.
Like Texas, New Mexico drillers are flaring substantial associated gas because of a lack of natural gas pipelines.
Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, who took office in January, signed an executive order the same month calling on the energy department to develop a regulatory framework to reduce flaring "as soon as practicable." The order says venting and flaring increased 18% from 2017 to 2018, and it estimated the practice wastes $244 million worth of gas each year.
"Part of why we're pursuing responsible methane emission reduction rules in the state is because the federal rules are either being rolled back or are incomplete," Cottrell Propst said. "We think we can do better even as we work really closely with industry and develop nation-leading methane reduction rules here."
New Mexico's state legislature this year passed the Energy Transition Act requiring that all utilities produce 50% of generation from renewable sources by 2030, with investor-owned utilities needing to reach 100% renewables by 2045 and electric cooperatives by 2050.
"We worked with everyone on setting these goals. They're ambitious and they're a stretch, but they also think they can do it," she said of utilities. "That's really important. It was not a law that was passed over their dead bodies."
Cottrell Propst said the bill has cost-containment mechanisms and "off-ramps" should reliability become a concern.
Tariffs on imported solar panels and threats of further retaliatory tariffs from China have not impeded New Mexico's renewable development, she said.
However, the state sees a lack of federal leadership to develop renewable energy.
"We do feel like states need to lead on renewable energy and climate policy in order to address some of the serious environmental problems we're facing," Cottrell Propst said.
On the Trump administration's proposal to move the Bureau of Land Management headquarters to Colorado from Washington, DC, Cottrell Propst said she does not expect drilling permits to slow, since most are already handled out of New Mexico field offices in Carlsbad and Farmington. But, "any kind of disruption and uncertainty in a regulatory body is unhelpful and can create problems," she said.

State of play under MiFID II and FinfraG
MiFID II will significantly impact the commodity derivatives market by, inter alia:
- determining which commodity trading firms will be covered by MiFID II or may benefit from the "ancillary activity exemption";
- setting out licensing requirements for firms falling under MiFID II; and
- introducing a position limits regime for commodity derivatives.
On 1 January 2016 the FinfraG has come into effect, implementing the G-20 com-mitments for the Swiss derivatives market by introducing inter alia:
- an obligation to report OTC and exchange traded derivatives to trade reposito-ries (e.g. the new trade repository of SIX);
- risk mitigation obligations for uncleared OTC derivatives;
- an obligation to clear standardized derivatives with central counterparties.
We will give an overview of the current state of play under such EU rules and of the new FinfraG obligations, where relevant for Swiss commodity trading firms. We will provide an introduction on how to report trades to the new SIX trade repository in Switzerland.
For the detailed program please see the link below.

The children in Year 4 have settled back well into class since Christmas and have been enjoying learning all about Travelling in this term's topic work. We explored how far each of us has travelled across the country, or the world, and worked out a class total mileage, which was over 34,000 miles. We then went on to explore why the Tudors decided to travel to new places in the 15th and 16th centuries. After the half term we are looking forward to our class trip to the Boat Museum in Ellesmere Port to look at canal transport in the 18th and 19th centuries. By the end of the term we should have travelled to the moon and back!
In our Science lessons we have been learning all about thermal insulation and have investigated which materials are good at keeping things warm or cold. We have learnt how to use datalogger equipment to record temperatures in a number of different locations around the school. We have also been developing our mathematical skills to record the data we collected in both bar and line graphs. Our next Science topic will be Earth and Space, which will link in well with our Travelling' topic. At least we will know if we decide to travel to the moon whether we will be 'back in time for tea.'
We have also been getting much fitter at the Queensway Sports Centre every Thursday afternoon and are getting much more confident on the equipment now. Maybe a future Olympic gymnast is hiding amongst us.
At the end of this half term most of the children in the Year 4 class will be experiencing an outdoor adventure when we go off to Glan Llyn near Bala for our two day overnight trip. The children are very excited about this and I'm sure they will really enjoy the experience and will have lots to tell you when they come home. Remember to send them with warm clothes, hats, scarves and gloves, and fingers crossed it won't snow on us this year!!

The Cayman Islands Immigration Department will likely no longer be a standalone public sector entity, once the local government finishes a series of reorganizations it is making within the civil service, the Cayman Compass has learned.
The department has not had a permanent, full-time leader since former immigration chief Linda Evans was suspended in late 2014 and eventually retired. The agency has also seen a significant move by government to hive off its work permit processing to a separate government department of human resources within the next two years.
Premier Alden McLaughlin announced last month during a Legislative Assembly meeting that immigration and Her Majesty's Customs service would be merging border control and policing functions in the coming year. The combination of the border control/law enforcement merger with the work permit changes would seem to leave the current Immigration Department with little to do.
Cayman Islands Governor Anwar Choudhury, when asked about the department's future Thursday, said the functions performed by immigration "can't go away."
"But if this merger actually leads us to more agility … more efficiency, that's got to be a good thing," Mr. Choudhury said.
Head of the Governor's Office Matthew Forbes said the border control services merger would be one of the first things Cayman's National Security Council would be looking at when it meets next week.
Deputy Governor Franz Manderson said there are many international examples of merging border control functions, such as the U.S. Customs and Border Control agency. In America, citizenship and immigration services are a carried out as functions of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The U.K. also merged its Border and Immigration Agency, its visas administration and Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs in 2008 to create a single border control organization called the U.K. Border Agency. However, that agency was abolished and split up five years later, after parliamentary reports revealed poor customer service and large backlogs of immigration applications.
Premier McLaughlin said in March that residents would start to notice changes in security officers staffing ports of entry within the next year as a result of the border control merger. "We will have a single border force agency with a staff trained to protect our seaports and airports," the premier told members of the Legislative Assembly. "Immigration and customs staff are undergoing cross-training and participating in joint operations."
Mr. McLaughlin said staff members wearing the new uniforms of the combined service are likely to start appearing in early 2019.
The premier's Ministry of Human Resources and Immigration has already undertaken plans to amalgamate administrative services performed by the Immigration Department on the granting of work permits and other immigration statuses.
Eventually, those services are to be controlled by a new government human resources department, the creation of which is now being led by local attorney Sharon Roulstone.
Security council
Although he said hosting official meetings is "not my thing," Governor Choudhury said Thursday that the National Security Council, comprised of government and opposition political members, civil society representatives, the deputy governor and the governor would likely start meeting monthly to start coming up with crime fighting strategies.
"It won't be a talk shop," Mr. Choudhury said, stating his hope that the meeting agendas would be kept brief and to the point – no more than 90 minutes at a time. "[The security council] needs to work. It needs to be clear on the priority and needs to be action oriented."
Mr. Choudhury said gun crime and burglaries were already identified as areas of public concern. He also noted that the premier had "given the leadership" around certain law enforcement initiatives like the border control services merger and the proposed creation of an independent coast guard for Cayman – which the U.K. supports.
The governor said he was "encouraged" to see crime seemed to be a "national unity" issue in Cayman, rather than a political battleground. "That's a real compliment to the politicians … and the people of the Cayman Islands," he said.

Emergencies often occur during the day when people are at work or school.
Being separated from friends and loved ones is one of the most stressful things a person can go through in an emergency. It is easily avoidable with a bit of forward planning.
The people most likely to help you in an emergency are your friends, family and neighbours. That's why it's a good idea to have at least three key people you know and trust, that you could call for help in an emergency.
It's best to let them know you might call on them too.

The Official Manufacturing PMI (Purchasing Managers' Index) data was released yesterday by the National Bureau of Statistics, showing an unexpectedly sharp drop in the sector's performance in February. Here's the breakdown:
- The index fell to 50.3 from 51.3 in January, a 19-month low and only 0.3 points away from negative growth.
- Sub-indices also fell considerably for: output (50.7, down almost 3 points from January); new orders (51, down 1.6%); and imports, suggesting a broad dampening of demand.
- Demand for exports also dropped, by a smaller amount, to 49.0 from 49.5.
- Producer Price Index (PPI) of Inflation continued to rise, but decelerated
The decline far exceeded the forecasts of economists (as polled by Reuters), which predicted that the index would hold steady at 51 in February. Markets have responded sharply to the release, with the Shanghai Composite dropping 1% and the Hang Seng 1.5% in the last 24 hours.
Analysts had mixed opinions on the data:
Capital Economics see the drop as good evidence that the economy is starting to slow. The data corresponds to predictions made by their own in-house metric of Chinese GDP growth – the China Activity Proxy. Although it is possible that some of the lagging performance will turn around in the coming months as several industries phase out anti-pollution production caps, the overall outlook is that Chinese growth will be weaker in 2018.
Mizuho Securities stressed that there was no particular threat of a sudden slowdown in the Chinese manufacturing sector. They attribute the dip largely to temporary factory shutdowns during the Chinese New Year period, which may also impact on other indicators of economic activity. They predict continued growth in trade, and further slowing down of PPI.
ANZ Research acknowledge the breadth of the drop across all indices but refers to optimistic business sentiment from previous months to suggest a rebound from Q2 onwards. Furthermore, yesterday's PMI will not be impactful on policy-making in the near-term.
The picture was made even more confusing this morning by the release of independent PMI figures by Caixin/Markit. Unlike the official figures, Caixin and Markit's index offer a positive view of strength in the manufacturing sector's performance, with a slight uptick to 51.6 from 51.5 in January. Other key points:
- Output and exports rose, though at a slower pace than in January.
- New order growth accelerated.
- Sentiment among business owners reached an all-time high, with confidence that client demand will continue to increase over the next 12 months.
- Inflation slowed to a seven-month low.
Capital Economics explain the divergence between the two indices by Caixin's relative focus on smaller and medium-sized businesses with large exports, as opposed to large, domestically-oriented firms.
Taking the two indices together, then, would suggest that foreign demand for Chinese goods is robust but the domestic situation is seeing a shaper slowdown.
It should be noted that the Caixin data differs qualitatively from the official data in almost 40% of the months analyzed.

They Shall Not Grow Old is a World War 1 documentary entirely narrated from archival interviews with veterans of the Great War. Accompanying their layered voices is digitally processed footage and photographs from the early 1900s. The film brings the Western Front to life by adding sound to the old film stock, which has itself been renewed through digital colouring, and temporal effects to smooth out the irregular motion of films of that era. Beginning with veterans' impressions of the outbreak of war, the film follows them through recruitment and training, and is alongside them in the trenches and battlefields of Western Europe, until they return home, forever changed.
Date registered: 31/10/2018
Following the slow build to deployment on the Western Front, the Great War is described and portrayed as horrific, layering soldiers' stories with confronting scenes of injury and death. As veterans narrate their experiences in battle, the effect is both disturbing and sobering. Their voices catch as they recall both allies and enemies who suffered truly horrific injuries, with tales of displayed organs and the fear of those who have been mortally wounded. These accounts are accompanied by a repeated and sustained montage of drawings depicting the war effort, warm close ups of smiling soldiers, and photos of soldiers killed in combat. Through layered audio and the constant cycling of heroic imagery, humanised video, and images of death, this sequence grants a glimpse into the sheer scale and horror of war. The overall effect is disturbing, but not inuring – the anti-war message is clear.
Amongst the more confronting images in the documentary are close up photographs of soldiers with trench foot, revealing gruesome details of blackened and sloughed flesh. Torn skin and fleshy holes are visible on horses killed by gunfire or shelling, while killed soldiers may be seen to be missing limbs. Numerous bodies are seen rotting in the mud, and some corpses have absent flesh, torn away by gunfire. Yet most of the gruesome wounds are softened by not only the smaller film stock of the time, with the recolouring respecting the limited detail of these images, but also the moderate distance from which many of the photographs had been taken. Nonetheless as real images of death, they retain their power to shock and disturb any audience – especially given the time the viewer spends listening and watching those involved in the war.
The images and descriptions of injury, suffering and death would be especially upsetting to younger audiences, who are less emotionally developed to properly deal with this content.
However, with the considerable educational and historic value of the documentary in mind, and its relevance to the many New Zealanders who had family that served in the Great War, it is unreasonable to restrict it from an audience who, with the guidance of a parent or guardian, would be better equipped for the more challenging content. As a result, They Shall Not Grow Old was classified as RP16 – restricting the film to people aged sixteen and over, unless they are accompanied by a parent or guardian.

This is one outstanding car... My hat goes off to the guys at Honda
Transmission had to be replaced due to a recall.
General Comments:
This is a great car that I would recomend to anybody that wants a safe, reliable car.
My wife and I have enjoyed this car tremendously. Every time we talk about purchasing a new car my wife just cannot part with this one.
The only problem we have with this car was the transmission and it never caused the car to be unreliable.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

An Idaho Falls developer has created a messaging application that protects employers from labor claims by ensuring that hourly employees can only read messages about work during working hours.
Hourly employees working off the clock can be expensive, said Aaron Turner, CEO of HotShot Technologies LLC. In a recent class-action suit in Washington, a window washing company was sued for $1.7 million for off-the-clock labor compensation claims — $6,000 per employee, he said.
The application, HotShot secure messaging — versions of which are available for both the Apple iOS and Google Android operating systems — also includes encryption, like that of applications such as Signal. The software can also limit its use to when the worker is on site, Turner added. It also includes collaboration features as well as the time-and-location restrictions, he said, adding that the company has filed patents on the technology.
The encryption component also helps companies better comply with European data protection requirements such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Turner said. For example, let's say a package delivery firm in France hires a part-time driver and texts him the addresses to deliver packages. "If that device leaves France, you have a cross-border data transfer without customer consent," he said.
"It fits right into our business," said Chad Merrill, manager of Mike's Pharmacy, in Idaho Falls. He knows a couple of the owners of the software company and the app piqued his interest, he said.
Merrill's primary interest in the app is the encryption aspect rather than the time-limiting aspect, he said. "There's a lot of things we would like to do over text messages because it makes it easier," he said. "It all comes down to maintaining HIPAA [Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act] compliancy." While other messaging apps offer encryption, the hospice group had looked into one of those alternatives and didn't like it, he said.
The pharmacy is using the app with its main hospice nurse, who can now send a message with patient information through the application. Previously, the nurse could only send a text message asking for a phone call. "Either way, we'd have to pick up the phone rather than just sending the message," Merrill said.
In another security feature, when an employee leaves the company, their data can be wiped remotely, Turner said. Or, if the employee works for the company intermittently, they can be put in a restricted group during the times when they aren't working for the company, he said.
The software, which became available on June 1, requires an invitation, and is free, Turner said. Once an organization has more than 20 users, it costs $10 per user per month. The company has four "significant" customers thus far, he said.
Legal experts cautioned that the app wasn't a panacea against off-the-clock claims. "If they have access to email, they would need to have that same type of technology for other ways they might do work off the clock," said Rebecca Bennett, a shareholder in the Cleveland, Ohio, office of Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C., a law firm. When employees claim they work overtime, the burden of proof is on the employer to prove they didn't, and software like this could help an employer in defending such a case, she said.
"It's a tool," agreed J. Kevin West, shareholder in the Boise office Parsons, Behle, and Latimer, a regional law firm based in Salt Lake City. "It does lock them out, but that doesn't guarantee that people aren't otherwise working and not getting overtime."
Turner is funding the company himself for now and is early stage talks with a formal investment expected in the next 90 days, he said. He has worked in cybersecurity for Microsoft and Idaho National Laboratory, and also developed mobile payments technology called RFinity, which he sold in 2010.

Interlaminar Fracture Toughness of Vectran-stitched Composites - Experimental and Computational Analysis
Document Type
Publication Date
Winter 12-2010
In this article, mode I interlaminar fracture toughness (GIC) of Vectran-stitched laminated composite is determined experimentally and computa- tionally. Critical strain energy release rates are measured by performing double can- tilever beam test on composites stitched with Vectran as stitch fiber, and are found to increase with increasing stitch thread thickness and stitch density. It is also revealed that the relationship between GIC and stitch density or stitch thread volume fraction appears to be linear. Interlaminar tension test is conducted to identify important fracture behavior of a single Vectran stitch fiber thread. The finite-element (FE) model of the stitched composite incorporates the novel four-step stitch fracture pro- cess, namely, interfacial debonding, slack absorption, fiber breakage, and pullout friction. The FE predictions of load-displacement curves and critical mode I strain energy release rates show good agreement with the experimental results. The differ- ences in interdependent stitch mechanisms between moderately stitched and densely stitched composites are discussed.

Fabio counting on his options in tough clash against PKNP
BY ZULHILMI ZAINAL Follow on Twitter
Ahead of Kuala Lumpur's round four Malaysia Super League away clash against PKNP FC this Sunday, head coach Fabio Magrao has told Goal that he will be banking on the tactical options available to him.
The City Boys are in 10th while PKNP are 11th currently, and the two clubs, both promotional sides, are on three points.
Editors' Picks
Speaking to us after conducting training on Wednesday in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur, the Brazilian said that his men have shown flexibility in their shock 1-0 win over defending champions Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) in their previous match.
"Against JDT, I prepared the team to use more counter-attacking movements, which led to the goal that started from a build-up play from the back.
"My players give me options in terms of player selection and also our adaptation to the game, and this is very important for me," said the 40-year old coach.
Asked about their Sunday opponents, Fabio responded that PKNP are a very dangerous side, and he declined to say outright that his team will be travelling to the Batu Kawan Stadium with the three points in mind.
"PKNP are a very strong team, which I've been saying since last year," said Fabio. "They are disciplined, they run well, and they put up a strong fight against JDT. Although they lost 3-0 in the match, they were almost perfect in the first half. It will be a tough, slow game as it will be played in late afternoon.
"I can't say we'll go there to win. Everyone plays to win for sure, but it depends on the condition of the game. What's important is we pick up points in this month. We are on three points, but JDT in second place are only six points. If JDT lose and we win we'll overtake them. It's too close to call at the moment.
"The difference between the top sides and the bottom ones are only two matches; if the top teams lose two games while the bottom sides win two matches, they will leapfrog the others. We have to prepare well, and learn from the mistakes we made in the first two matches."
He also expressed the need to give forward Guilherme de Paula more time to start scoring in the league, when asked. Kuala Lumpur have only scored one goal this season while in comparison, last season Guilherme scored 27 goals en route to helping the City Boys capture the 2017 Premier League title and promotion, to emerge as the league top scorer.
"Every striker needs to score in order to be satisfied with themselves, but he pushes himself every day, gives his best. He had a number of chances to score in the past three games, but he helped the team create a lot of chances and defend.
"The important thing is we play as a team. His goals will come, and for sure the fans can expect him to score a lot of goals in the league again," says Fabio.

The UW Battle Rap league is slated to host its "High Stakes" event in New Jersey's Club NV January 26. The event is set to be the stage for a much-discussed battle between Hollow Da Don and Loaded Lux. Recently, UW released a "Face-Off" video which features the battlers set to be featured at the event.
"Everybody talks," Loaded Lux says in the clip. "I built this off work. That's the bottom line and [Hollow Da Don] know that."
In the "Face-Off" clip, Hollow, who had a seemingly unrelated fight with John John Da Don at the event, responds.
"I don't like him," Hollow says in the clip, referring to Loaded Lux. "He knows I don't like him."
Beyond Hollow and Lux, UW's "High Stakes" is also slated to feature Tsu Surf versus Calicoe; Hitman Holla versus O Red; and Daylyt versus B-Magic.
According to the "Face-Off" clip, the event is scheduled to air via U-Stream as it takes place.
"Real-time streaming," the clip says. "No waiting weeks for battles to post. No biased edits. What you see is what you get."
More from the "Face-Off" can be viewed below.

Protein is very important for maintaining health and muscle mass: protein can account for 10-35% of daily calories, experts from the Cleveland Clinic said.
Many studies have shown that, provided regular physical activity and proper nutrition, the inclusion of protein foods in adults in the diet contributes to an increase in muscle mass and weight loss.
A healthy adult should eat averagely 0.8–1.0 grams of protein per pound of weight daily. For example, a woman weighing about 68 kg should consume 54-68 grams of protein per day.
According to experts, the body should receive protein regularly, day after day. Lack of protein for long periods of time, or, conversely, overeating them wrong and harmful.
The best or most bioavailable sources of protein, according to scientists, are those that the body receives from animal products - whey (dairy products), lean meat, egg whites. Among plant sources, experts identify soybeans, legumes, quinoa, nuts and seeds.

In another alchemical wheel-picture, the woman is the Queen of Heaven, the world-soul, with two chains, one to the ape below and the other to God. Probably it is suggested by Juno's chain, which kept her in the highest reaches of the air. That she has one foot on the earth and one on the land is probably an attempt to link her with the Star card. The spheres move in a cyclical course around the center. Both illustrations are from Robert Fludd's Utriusque Cosmi, 1617. Thus they are both comparatively late in the development of alchemy. ( First Image: Fabricius, Alchemy p. 15. Second image:
Before tarot, the early 15th century Heilege Dreifaltigkeit shows a person on a wheel, as one of three instruments of death used in the Middle Ages. I am not sure how it worked, but it must have been painful. The other means of death are hanging from a rope and having one's head cut off, which are reminiscent of trumps 12 and 13, with their rope and scythe (Image scanned from Laurinda Dixon, Bosch p. 269.) Alchemically, it was a matter of torturing the metal with heat to remove impurities and speed up the "maturation" process. The process was described as a succession of "regimens," each dominated by a particular planet (see e.g. Philalethes, http://www.rexresearch.com/alchemy/opntranc.htm).
The Wheel then shows the motion of circulation, the round of evaporation and condensation that constitutes the purification of the Stone. Each rise and fall purifies one a little, by means of the vicissitudes of Fate, until the purity of the Stone is reached.

The Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK Team heads to its title sponsor Pata's second home race of the season this week as the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship returns to Italy. Past the half-way stage of the 2016 season, round eight sees Alex Lowes visit the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, on the Adriatic coast, from 17-19th June with local rider Niccolò Canepa as his teammate.
Successfully testing his YZF-R1 around the 4,226m circuit at the beginning of June, Lowes is confident of the improvements made and is looking forward to returning as the real contest begins on Friday morning. The Briton has spent the ensuing days continuing to focus on his rehabilitation from recent shoulder surgery in a bid to be as fit as possible ready for the first 21-lap race on Saturday afternoon. An event he always looks forward to, Lowes is eager to put on a good show for the passionate Italian fans and reward Pata for their support over the recent weeks.
Fresh from his UK STK1000 podium at Donington Park and stunning victory in the Portuguese 12h Endurance World Championship event in recent weeks, Canepa is bubbling with enthusiasm to get back on the YZF-R1, having tested the WorldSBK-spec machine here with the team just two weeks before. Quick from the off at the last round of competition with the sister STK1000 team, the 28-year-old rider hopes to replicate his form at the circuit he knows so well, and continue to build on his momentum and success. The Italian will take to the track at 10:15 local time for the opening free practice session in front of his home support and will be looking to put on a show for the adoring fans as he returns to the top class.
Nestled in the picturesque coastline of the Rimini Riviera, the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli sits just 2kms from Misano Adriatico and its bustling beaches. The location, good weather and influx of passionate fans lend the entire event its festival-like atmosphere, while the circuit's 16-corner clockwise layout provides countless overtaking opportunities thanks to its fast and flowing nature.
Friday presents two, hour-long sessions of free practice action as Lowes and Canepa bid to secure their places for Saturday's Superpole qualifying – which will be on track at 10:30 local time – while lights go out at 13:00 for a race a-piece on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

The Danmarks Nationalbank will issue (29th May) their latest coin in the popular "Ships" series which illustrates well-known or distinguished sea-faring vessels in Denmark. The new design features the "Kong Frederik IX" Ferry, built at Elsinore Shipyard. When it was put into service on 16 December 1954 it was the world's largest ferry serving several routes between Denmark and Germany and across the Great Belt. In 1997 it was de-commissioned and for a few years it served as a museum ferry at Nyborg but in 2005, the ferry was eventually scrapped.
Struck at the Royal Danish Mint and designed by sculptor Elisabeth Toubro, the coin with a face value of 20 Kroner includes an image of the Ferry on the high seas with the text "KONG FREDERIK IX" over the design with the denomination appearing below. The obverse of the coin includes the more recent portrait of HM Queen Margrethe II which has been used on Danish commemorative and circulation coins since 2010. The year of issue "2012" appears below the portrait.
The coin is produced in aluminum bronze weighing 9.3 grams and has a diameter of 27 mm. The coin will also be minted in proof quality for collectors in limited quantity. The proof version can be ordered via the Royal Danish Mint's website from 29 May to 6 June 2012. Orders are limited to a maximum of three coins per customer. This is the 11th coin in the series, the 12th and final coin is scheduled to be issued in the autumn.
For more information on this and other coins offered by the Danmarks Nationalbank and the Royal Danish Mint, please visit the Mint's website at: http://www.royalmint.dk/

The NBA playoffs continue Tuesday with two exciting series. LeBron James and the Cavaliers continue their journey back to the NBA Finals, winning Game 1 in Toronto. And the Golden State receives a boost from Stephen Curry, who just returned from injury to lead the Warriors to a hard-fought Game 2 win over New Orleans.

2. The Raptors drop a close-game 1 against the Cavaliers
Toronto Raptors had a million chances to win the game 1 against a fatigued LeBron James and his struggling Cleveland Cavaliers. The Raptors were rested, home and confident, with a 13-point lead in the third quarter. They had a five-point lead going into the fourth quarter.
The Cavs responded where it really mattered, thanks to excellent rotations and defensive strategy. LeBron hit a jumper late in the fourth to tie things up. And the Cavs came ahead 1-0, pulling off yet another close-game victory with a 113-112 overtime win.

Tristan Thompson was energetic off the bench, racking up 14 points and 12 rebounds. LeBron hit a jumper late in the fourth to tie things up. James had 26 points, 11 rebounds, and 13 assists. JR Smith scored 20 points, Kyle Korver had 19 points, hitting five 3-pointers. Jeff Green had 16 points and played defensive center and point guard at times.

James had his least impactful game of the playoffs. He missed 18 shots in the game and he was 3-of-15 in the fourth quarter and overtime. "Shots weren't going in for me," said LeBron. "It was probably one of my worst games of the season."

This year's host of the U-20 World Junior Championships, Sweden, has recently released the team roster that will try to improve its record at the annual tournament. In previous years, the U-20 team has had trouble scoring, despite having good offensive players. With solid but unspectacular defense and goaltending, offense is the simple reason for the lack of success in the tournament.
The combination of players for this year's team looks a lot like that in the previous years. There are a couple of players with good offensive instincts, several average defensemen and two solid defensemen.
If this team is going to have suscess it will have to be a good portion of luck, offensive production from the top players and stellar goaltending.
Thirteen of Sweden's players have been drafted by NHL teams, including two by the St. Louis Blues, and two by the New Jersey Devils.
Joel Gistedt
Frölunda HC
This rookie sensation has been on fire in the Swedish Elitserien so far this season and there is no questioning his place on the team. He is supposed to be the starting goalie at least for the initial stage of the tournament.
He's quick, both with his glove and pads. He's very fluid and moves well along the ice. He covers the net well and isn't afraid of playing the puck. He's sharp, focused and reads the play. He plays a butterfly style and goes down early which leaves some holes up high.
Gistedt went undrafted last season, but with a strong performance at the WJC and continued success in Elitserien, he could be a solid selection in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.
Jhonas Enroth (BUF)
Södertälje SK
Enroth is the youngest player on the Swedish team and only one of two 88-borns. He was a rock for the U-18 team last season and has had a solid season so far in Allsvenskan, his first in a men's league.
Quick and moving well in the net, Enroth has a good glove and quick pads. His size at 5'10 is a big problem as he has big holes all across the net because of his small stature. He plays a butterfly style, goes down prematurely and stays down for too long. He shows a lot of confidence in the net and plays the puck a lot.
Enroth has had tremendous success at international level and could once again put on a show. At the start he will likely be the backup, but there is a good chance that he could take over and lead the team.
Patrik Nevalainen
IF Björklöven
Right-shooting Nevalainen has had a solid season with Björklöven with nine points in 24 games. This is his second year as a regular with the men's team and his role is growing.
He's a small, puck-moving defenseman who thinks the game well and has good hockey sense. He lacks size and physical play, however.
His selection to the team is a bit questionable as there is at least one other defenseman (Niklas Andersen, LA) who would have probably provided more to the team. Nevalainen will likely see limited ice time.
Alexander Hellström (STL)
IF Björklöven
Another Björklöven defenseman, Hellström, has also had a solid start to the season and has played a vital role for his team.
He has developed since the 2006 draft, and is now more comfortable in his own end. He has good size, provides physical presence and keeps the game simple.
Hellström has been a regular with the national team for some time now and he will be one of the leaders defensively on this team.
Jonas Junland (STL)
Linköpings HC
Junland has had problems with some injuries over the last two years, but this season he has been in good shape and kept developing his game. He has split time with three different teams at three different levels.
His crisp passing can be game=breaking as he has very good hands and on-ice vision. He delivers good passes on a consistent level and is very creative and poised with the puck. He is used in all situations and logs a ton of ice time. He has very strong arms and has a very good, hard and accurate wrist and slapshot.
Junland will be looked upon for delivering offense. He will log a lot of minutes and play the point on the power play.
Alexander Ribbenstrand
Djurgårdens IF
Ribbenstrand has secured a spot on the men's team for a second season with Djurgården this season and has been contributing to a young team. He's now getting an increased role.
He's not very big, but he has a big heart and plays his guts out. He plays an abrasive game and likes to use his body. He has limited skill level and will not be looked upon for providing offense.
He's a veteran on this team and will get a good number of minutes in all situations.
Jonas Ahnelöv (PHO)
Frölunda HC
Anhelöv started the season slowly and got very limited ice time with Frölunda in Elitserien. In the past few weeks he has been getting more responsibilities and is hitting his stride.
He has good size and is a very strong player with good hitting ability. He plays a solid two-way game and can play in all situations. He's a very good skater who can carry the puck with poise and support the offense.
Ahnelöv will play top-4 minutes on the team and could be among the offensive leaders on the defense.
Daniel Rahimi (VAN)
IF Björklöven
A surprise selection at the draft last season, Rahimi has accomplished quite a lot since. He has signed an NHL contract with Vancouver, attended their training camp and secured a spot with the men's team of Björklöven.
He has good size and delivers punishing hits along the boards. He's a solid skater and can make the simple plays. His offensive game needs a lot of development as well as his defensive zone coverage.
Rahimi will be looked upon for providing defensive coverage and physical play. He will have to fight for his minutes as he looks like a No. 6 or 7 defenseman for this team.
Niklas Hjalmarsson (CHI)
Hjalmarsson has split time with three different teams this season and hasn't really blossomed as expected. He has played 20 games with HV-71 in Elitserien with limited ice time.
Overall, he's a rock-solid defenseman who provides stability in his own end and offense on the other side. He has good size and is capable of being a physical presence. He's a mobile skater and a puck-moving defenseman who can log tons of minutes.
"Hjalle" as he is called, will be one of the leaders on the team both on and off the ice. He is the go-to guy on the defense and will play a huge role for the team.
Tom Wandell (DAL)
HC Ässät (Finland)
Wandell took a different path than the rest of his peers in order to make sure that his development goes in the right direction. He left Sweden and is now playing with Ässat in the top Finnish league. So far he has registered five goals and nine points in 26 games.
He's a mid-sized forward with very good hockey instincts. He's smart, has good vision and is a deft playmaker. On the downside he lacks the physical aspect of the game as he's not very interested in getting his nose dirty.
Wandell will likely see top-three line minutes in an offensive role.
Patric Hörnqvist (NAS)
Djurgårdens IF
Hörnqvist was a hidden gem when it came to his draft year, but he has made huge strides in the last two years and is now a big contributer to Djurgårdens' success in Elitserien.
Hörnqvist has good intensity and a scorer's instinct. He's very dangerous around the net and has a solid shot. Over the last two years he has improved his skating a lot and is now a capable top-two liner for this team.
Look for him to contribute offensively and be one of the team's top scorers.
Andreas Thuresson
IF Malmö Redhawks
Thuresson went undrafted last season because of his poor skating. This season he has developed that area of his game to a level where it no longer is a big concern. He has polished his overall game is a solid Elitserien player.
"Thure" is a good sized forward with a tremendous attitude. He plays with exceptional intensity and is always hitting. He loves the physical part of the game and will be one of the on-ice leaders for the team. He also has a huge shot that will likely result in a few goals in the tournament.
For now it looks like he will be assigned to one of the third or fourth lines as a winger, but don't be surprised if he racks up solid points. He looks like a surefire 2007 draft pick right now.
Patrik Berglund (STL)
VIK Västerås HK
Here's a player who will carry a huge offensive load for this team. Many observers turn too much attention to superstar Niklas Bäckström and leave this prodigy in the shadows. Berglund has had a sensational season with Västerås and gives this team a great 1-2 punch down the middle.
Berglund has great size, soft hands and very good hockey sense. He plays a good two-way game and isn't afraid of using his body in all three zones. He shows good work ethic and is aware defensively. He controls the tempo off the game and has the ability to create on his own.
If Bäckström is labeled as the next Peter Forsberg, than Berglund is the next Mats Sundin. He will be a huge contributor to this team's success.
Martin Johansson
Bofors IK
Johansson has been a member of the national teams for a long time and it's no surprise that he made the WJC squad. He has had a solid season with Bofors in Allsvenskan and has a lot to offer.
Johansson is small in size, but has very good skating ability and is skilled. He uses his speed to his advantage and likes to handle the puck at high speed. He has soft hands and is a shifty puckhandler who also has very good hockey sense and playmaking ability.
He will have a role as one of the checkers and will get a lot of ice time on the penalty-killing unit.
Alexander Sundström (NJ)
IF Björklöven
Sundström has had a solid season with Björklöven, but he has untapped potential that could come on display at this tournament.
With great skating ability and shiftiness, Sundstrom has good foot speed which he uses to shake off his coverage and he's smooth as silk on the ice. He has very strong puckhandling skills and is very creative offensively. He reads the game very well and is a smart player.
Sundström will likely start as the third line center but could very well turn out as one of the team's leading scorers.
Nicklas Bergfors (NJ)
Lowell Devils (AHL)
Bergfors is in his second season in the AHL and is doing very well for a player of such young age. He has also played the most games for the national team of all players and therefore will be expected to provide leadership.
He is an average skater who has good foot speed and acceleration. He moves his feet non-stop and tries to play a high-speed game. He has above average puck skills and likes to shoot the puck. He has good hockey sense and on-ice vision and reads the game well.
Bergfors, together with Bäckström and Berglund, are the expected big leaders on the offense.
Nicklas Bäckström (WAS)
Brynäs IF
Bäckström is the superstar of the this team and could be for the whole tournament. He has proved that last season wasn't a fluke and he is a dominant player in Elitserien as well as the senior national team.
Bäckström is a solid skater who has a fluid stride and good acceleration. He plays a speedy game and is a wonderful puckhandler. He has the ability to go coast-to-coast with the puck. He creates space for himself and his teammates with his great vision and hockey sense.
With all the talent in the world, he "only" has to be able to control the pressure from being labeled as the savior and leader for the Swedish team from all experts and media from across the hockey world.
Magnus Isaksson
Luleå HF
Isaksson has turned into a solid player in Elitserien. He has played in 30 games with Luleå and has seen limited action. He has been used on special teams on a few occasions and hasn't looked out of place.
He plays the game as a small, high-energy checker. He has impressive skating ability and solid hands. He also possesses average hockey sense and playmaking ability.
He will fight for ice time on the fourth line as a checker and could see some time on the penalty-killing unit.
Fredrik Pettersson (EDM)
Calgary Hitmen (WHL)
Pettersson is in his second season with the Calgary Hitmen of the WHL, and only one of two players on this team who play in North America. He had a very good camp with the Edmonton Oilers before being sidelined with an injury.
He has a big heart for the game and plays with tons of intensity and spark. He's a skilled player who has a nose for the net. He also possesses good hockey sense and is capable of playing on the power-play unit.
Pettersson is a veteran on this team and has seen plenty of international experience during his junior career. He'll be a leader for this team in all kinds of situations.
Patrik Zackrisson
Rögle BK
Zackrisson has been a member of the national teams since the age of 16. He has also played with the powerhouse Frölunda for most of his time, but made a switch to Rögle of Allsvenska for this season. That has proven to be a good move as he has developed his game well and is contributing offensively.
He's a very smart player with good hockey sense and deft playmaking skills. He has good skating ability and is shifty down low. He is mature and plays a responsible two-way game.
"Zacke" will probably be used on the third and fourth lines as a support player who can chip in offensively. He could also see time on the penalty-killing unit.
Linus Omark
Luleå HF
Omark has been a big surprise in Elitserin this season. Not only has he secured a regular spot, but also contributed offensively. He has registered four goals and 11 points in 30 games.
Omark is very similar to Isaksson in his play, although he's more polished offensively. He's small, skates very well and has impressive intensity.
He could be a surprise contributer to the team's success. He's not an NHL prospect, but could be a valuable player for this team.
Robin Lindqvist
Luleå HF
Lindquist has seen limited ice time with Luleå and has also had problems with an injury. He has only played in 15 games this season, scoring a lone goal.
Lindquist is a typical role player who likes to use his body down low. He is a solid skater who has good speed and agility. He has a good attitude and shows tremendous work ethic. He likes to play the body and finishes his checks all over the ice.
He will be expected to provide energy and physical play on the fourth line.
Andreas Molinder
MODO Hockey
Molinder has had trouble cracking the Modo lineup in Elitserien, though he was a dominant player at the junior-A level.
Molinder is a strong two-way center who is above average in most categories. He has solid size and looks bigger than his listed height. He has very good speed and is a strong skater with quick, explosive feel. He has natural hockey sense and is very smart with and without the puck.
He will be fighting for the third-line center spot with Sundström, who could also be used as a right winger. Nonetheless, Molinder will be a solid two-way player.

WHAT IS World Federation Of Stock Exchanges
The World Federation of Stock Exchanges, more commonly known as the World Federation of Exchanges, is an international trade group that supports the interests of regulated securities exchanges around the world, and promotes widespread access to financial markets and the safety and soundness of the global financial system.
What is the World Federation Of Stock Exchanges
The World Federation of Exchanges is located in London, the United Kingdom. The private company was established in 1961, and today it represents more than 200 different exchanges and clearing houses. These venues are the home of listings for more than 45,000 companies, the combined value of which is $82.5 trillion, as of 2017.
The World Federation of Exchanges provides a number of different services for financial market participants. It publishes a wide array of statistics on securities markets, as well as more than 350 market indicators. The WEF also plays a role facilitating the spread of ideas and best practices throughout the financial services industry. It often convenes forums, debates, and conferences where industry participants can discuss important issues in financial market structure, like cross-border regulation or high-frequency trading.
Goals of the World Federation of Exchanges
The World Federation of Exchanges aims to be the most important global advocacy group for the companies around the world that facilitate the trading of financial assets. Because financial services is a heavily regulated industry, and because those regulations can differ greatly from country to country, a primary goal of the group is to advocate for smart regulation that is harmonized across borders.
It also seeks to provide value to its members through the dissemination of vital information to the industry, and by convening meetings where members of the industry can share information and network. To this end, the World Federation of Exchanges stages several events each year, including The WFE General Assembly & Annual Meeting, which is held each year by one of its member organizations.
The World Federation of Exchanges also publishes numerous statistics, many of which are contained in its Annual Statistics Guide. Market participants can find in the guide such valuable information as the total market capitalization of companies listed on various stock exchanges, the total value of bonds issued across the globe, or the total notional value of derivatives being traded in specific markets. It also maintains a database on initial public offerings made on member exchanges. The WEF is governed by a board of directors, which meets three times per year to oversee the management of the organization.

These headphone ads poke fun at rivals' use of influencers
A new campaign from German audio brand Sennheiser pokes fun at rival brands' glossy efforts to use influencers to promote their products.
The first work for the company by MullenLowe Group, the ads start off in the manner of other headphone brands (we're looking at you, Beats) with the products being pitched by celebrities in an "inspiring" manner. In one, a basketball player steps onto the court wearing headphones and telling us solemnly "to get to the top, you can't lose focus…that's why I always have my music playing." However, the action is abruptly interrupted as we see he's on a film set, as the sound guy comments, "Would you really take sound advice from a basketball player?"
Another ad featuring a fashion model unfolds in a similar cliched vein, as she tell us the headphones help her forget the "cameras, crowds and the haters," while a social spot shows another basketball player who's actually revealed to be a DJ. The tagline is "When it comes to sound, image means nothing."
The spots were filmed in Kiev, Ukraine and directed by British director Sam Pilling, who is known for his Run the Jewels "Nobody Speak" music video, via Pulse Los Angeles.
MullenLowe U.S.' SVP creative director Jon Ruby says: "We wrote scripts with the most clichéd voiceovers to poke fun at the astounding lack of audio credibility when it comes to typical celebrity endorsers promoting headphone brands."
Media for the campaign, via Mediahub, includes online digital video and audio partners like Spotify. Additionally, MullenLowe Open designed an online and offline retail experience for the brand.
