Liverpool look set to face competition from AC Milan for the possible signing of Borussia Dortmund striker Ciro Immobile this summer, according to talkSPORT.
The Reds look keen to add new players upfront this summer after a difficult campaign that could see them miss out on the top four following last year's departure of star player Luis Suarez to Barcelona.
The Daily Star has already linked Juventus forward Fernando Llorente as another potential target for Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, though neither of these players look particularly impressive based on recent stats.
Llorente only has four Serie A goals this season, and Immobile has struggled in the Bundesliga, also only scoring four times in the league to spark rumours that Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp could already be prepared to let him go.
The Italian was signed from Torino last summer but now looks likely to make a quick exit from the club if talkSPORT's report is anything to go by, with Liverpool and AC Milan leading the chase for the £13m-rated attacker.


Following three purse thefts in Louth town centre last weekend (March 21), a further report of attempted theft has been made and the police are now searching for a female offender.
PC Rick Ornsby said: "A fourth person reported that they had stopped someone attempting to remove their purse from their handbag. The offender is described as a female of medium build, approximately 5' 4" tall, wearing a blue head scarf, dark puffa jacket, brown boots and large sunglasses.
Anyone with information should contact PC Ornsby by dialling 101 and quoting incident number 306 of March 21.

The Writing Craft
What is Repetition?
Reiterating a word or phrase to add emphasis and make it more memorable.
Martin Luther King Jr. stated the phrase "I have a dream" eight times in his most famous speech, virtually imprinting it on listeners' minds for nearly 60 years and counting.
Use repetition to add poetic rhythm to your writing. It differs from assonance, alliteration, and consonance because it repeats words or phrases rather than just sounds.
Beware, however, of unintentional repetition or echoing. Unless you're doing it for emphasis, echoing can distract.
Author CR Hodges cites these examples: Use of the word I or she or he to begin consecutive sentences.
Obviously this happens occasionally even in good writing, but watch for excessive frequency.
Using a character's name too often is another common example.
Hodges adds that the repetition of an uncommon word can also unnecessarily jar your reader, such as: "I really liked Steven's umber eyes," followed three paragraphs later by "The spaceship was the color of burnt umber…"
Examples of Good Repetition
Intentionally using the same word or phrase at the beginning of consecutive sentences. In the movie 10 Things I Hate About You, the main character repeats "I hate" to begin each clause of her poem.
Repeating a word or phrase at the end of each successive sentence. In Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, he repeats the word together in each clause.
Repeating a word or phrase at the beginning and end of a line.
Repeating the same word, but using a different meaning. Vince Lombardi said: "If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired, with enthusiasm."
Repeating words or phrases for emphasis, i.e., "You should be sorry for being such a sorry example…"
Stating the same idea twice, first in a negative light, then in a positive one. From The Picture of Dorian Gray: "The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young."
Repeating the last word of a clause as the subject of the next: "Our doubt is our passion, and our passion is our task."

The most important part of any hydroponic system is, of course, the nutrient solution used. Hydroponic nutrient solutions are readily available from gardening centers and nurseries and are composed of a blend of such nutrients as nitrogen, potassium, calcium, magnesium and other minerals. Different nutrient solutions are used depending on what type of plants you're trying to grow, what system you're using and what mediums, if any, you're working with.
As we've seen, hydroponics can be done with or without mediums. In cases where a medium is to be used, there are several choices available, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. One of the most popular mediums used in hydroponic gardening is rock wool, due to the fact that it's both affordable and offers easy drainage. Other popular mediums include clay, perlite, vermiculite, sand and gravel. While gravel, clay and sand are both cheap and easily available, they're heavy and don't provide the same level of water circulation as perlite and vermiculite, which are more expensive but also more effective.
Another critical aspect of hydroponics is the use of light. As we discussed earlier, plants require light in order to perform photosynthesis. In areas where natural light is not available or plentiful, High-intensity Discharge (HID) lights are used instead. There are two main types of lights used for gardening, and each provides light over different parts of the spectrum. Metal Halides (MH) offer light from the blue end of the spectrum and are used with young plants and green, leafy vegetables. High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lights are at the opposite end of the spectrum and are used for fruits or flowered plants [source: Green Coast Hydroponics].
Finally, any successful hydroponic system must be monitored so that PH levels are regulated. PH is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration, and gives us a value as to how acidic or alkaline the growth environment is. It must be kept within a certain range, depending on the plant and the medium used. The value can be measured using a PH testing kit, available at any gardening supply center.
Maybe you remember hearing the term hydroponics before, but you can't remember where. Would you believe it could have been on a family trip to Walt Disney World in Florida? Epcot Center's "Living with the Land" is an attraction dedicated to agriculture, with a large portion of the ride focused on hydroponics. Best of all, many fruits, vegetables and herbs, including those Mickey-shaped cucumbers, that are used in Disney restaurants are grown at the Epcot Center in the Land Pavilion, all through the use of hydroponics [source: Fehrenbacher].


This weekend I photographed Jeff and Stephanie's engagement session in Downtown, Los Angeles. We walked around Olvera Street while a large celebration was happening. It was crowded, music blasting, and the smell of good food was everywhere – it was quintessential LA. We then walked over to Union Station to take some more photographs. Union Station is simply beautiful, that place always amazes me – plus, how cool are those large old chairs? It was a blast hanging out with Jeff and Stephanie and what would you know… we made some great images too.


In the not so distant future, when a patient goes in for surgery, the eyes of the surgeon may not be the only ones watching. The aviation industry's approach to error-analysis is being brought to surgery with the recent development of a "black box" to monitor every aspect of the OR.Canadian surgeonDr. Grantcharov's black box will capture video from surgeons' imaging equipment and a mounted wall camera in an effort to help ORs find out why complications arise.
Here's a new approach for ensuring compliance with surgical safety checklists - get the patient involved. According to a recent study conducted at Tulane University Hospital and Clinic, providing the surgical patient with the World Health Organization Surgical Safety Checklist prior to the surgery, with a place for the surgeon to sign it, pledging to follow it, dramatically increases compliance. It also made the patient feel safer, knowing there was a checklist to be followed. Tulane undertook the study as they sought ways to increase compliance with the use of the checklist. Compliance is important, because it is well accepted use of the checklist reduces complications.

Build sites in Kenya can hold the key to countless possibilities. Since it is the location of a future school where Kenyan children will be able to receive an education, a build site can generate immense changes in a community. At the build sites, volunteers dig trenches, mix cement, and shape the wire structure of the school. Volunteers then help chisel heavy rocks into bricks before placing them into the cement to create the walls. Each wall can be up to ten feet tall, although volunteers do not make the walls any taller for safety reasons. To ensure that the school will be built properly, Fundis (Kenyan workers) help the volunteers construct the school and monitor their progress.
Build sites play an essential role in alleviating poverty. In 2002, the Kenyan government announced that primary education would now be free. However, there were not enough schools to accommodate the additional one million children who could now afford to go to school. Building schools gives more Kenyan children the opportunity to receive an education. In fact, one schoolhouse can educate 1,000 students for twenty years! The impact that students will receive from the schoolhouses created on these build sites is unparalleled—according to Free the Children (Human's of Change's partnered nonprofit), one year of education can increase a person's future earning up to 10%, the chance of survival for mothers during childbirth by 5-10%, and life expectancy by 0.6 years. Therefore, build sites not only empower the children who can attend the schools that are built there, but also transform communities as a whole, allowing families the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty through education.

An artificial diet may make it easier to rear insects
By Entomological Society of America
Feb. 9, 2016 - Scientists who conduct research on insects need to be able to keep them alive, sometimes for many generations. That can be difficult, especially since members of many insect species are particularly picky eaters.
However, a group of Canadian entomologists may have found a solution, at least for scientists who are conducting research on moths.
They began by taking semiloopers in the subfamily Plusiinae and feeding them on the McMorran diet, which is named after Arlene McMorran, who created it back in 1965. Then they soon realized that many other species readily fed on a modified version of the McMorran diet. In fact, they successfully reared 39 different moth species on the diet -- some for multiple generations -- and they also tested it on other field-collected caterpillars that they reared until they metamorphosed into adults.
"[The McMorran diet] allowed us to quickly handle high numbers of field collected caterpillars of various species," the authors wrote. "It saved us tremendous time, space, and money because we did not need to grow plants, and we did not need to develop species based rearing knowledge as we were pretty much ensured that any Noctuidae would develop on this diet."
Their methodology and results are published in an article in the open-access Journal of Insect Science, which also includes a literature review of other insects that were previously reared using the McMorran diet.
"Because we believed that, like us, other entomologists may be interested in using the McMorran diet to ease their laboratory rearing of insects, we decided to do a literature search to find out the species that have previously been reared on this diet and publish this information," said Dr. Vincent Hervet, one of the co-authors. "Our paper highlights the use of an easily-prepared and stored artificial diet on which to rear a broad variety of phytophagous insects species, including 39 new species that we report in our study. According to information we found in the literature, it seems that the success of this diet is particularly associated with the use of wheat germ and linseed oil as ingredients."
Their literature review revealed that at least 103 Lepidoptera species have been reared on the McMorran diet, including species that belong to the families Erebidae, Gelechiidae, Geometridae, Lasiocampidae, Noctuidae, Pieridae, Pyralidae, Saturniidae, Sphingidae, and Tortricidae. They also learned that grasshoppers in the genus Melanoplus had been reared on the McMorran, and that many other insects had been reared on slightly modified versions, including the white pine weevil (Pissodes strobi) and more than 49 species of longhorn beetles.
These slight modifications "could potentially be used to rear many more phytophagous insect species that do not readily feed on the McMorran diet," according to Dr. Vincent Hervet, one of the co-authors.
This is a spruce budworm caterpillar (Choristoneura fumiferana) An artificial diet may make it easier to rear insects.

Home NY Times May and Brexit Face Uncertain Future After Crushing Defeat in Parliament
May and Brexit Face Uncertain Future After Crushing Defeat in Parliament
LONDON — Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday suffered a humiliating defeat over her plan to withdraw Britain from the European Union, thrusting the country further into political chaos with only 10 weeks to go until it is scheduled to leave the bloc.
The 432-to-202 vote to reject her proposal was the biggest defeat in the House of Commons for a prime minister in recent British history. And it underscores how comprehensively Ms. May has failed to build consensus behind any single vision of how to exit the European Union.
Now factions in Parliament will offer their own proposals — setting off a new, unpredictable stage in Brexit, the process of withdrawing from the bloc.
"She has completely lost control of the process, and her version of Brexit must now be dead, if she loses by 230 votes," said John Springford, deputy director of the Center for European Reform, a London-based research institute.
Negotiating the withdrawal from the European Union — which 52 percent of British voters, or 17.4 million people, supported in a referendum in 2016 — has been Mrs. May's single focus since she became prime minister, displacing social problems like housing and health care.
But her failure to convey any convincing vision of Britain's future outside the European Union has allowed painful divisions in the country to deepen.
And it has created a risk that Britain will exit the 28-nation European bloc with no deal, which analysts have warned could tip Britain into recession and trigger shortages of food, medicine and electricity because of constraints on trade.
Mrs. May's plan would ultimately have given Britain's government power over immigration from Europe, and would have kept Britain in the European Union's customs and trade system until at least the end of 2020 while a long-term pact is negotiated.
Immediately after the vote against her proposal, the Labour Party leader, Jeremy Corbyn, citing the "sheer incompetence of this government," called for a vote of no confidence in Ms. May, which will be debated on Wednesday.
That could in theory lead to a general election, but few analysts said they thought he could muster the necessary votes.
European Union officials, who have been waiting for Britain to resolve its plan, were muted in an official statement, though exasperated on Twitter.
"If a deal is impossible, and no one wants no deal, then who will finally have the courage to say what the only positive solution is?" Donald Tusk, the president of the European Council, wrote in a Twitter post.
Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission, said on Twitter: "I urge the U.K. to clarify its intentions as soon as possible. Time is almost up."
Before the vote, Mrs. May and her supporters were urging lawmakers in both the Conservative and Labour Parties to resolve the stalemate and back her plan, saying that a vote in favor would put country before party.
In her final appeal in Parliament, Mrs. May, a Conservative, impressed on lawmakers the importance of the vote facing them.
"The responsibility on each and every one of us at this moment is profound," she said, "for this is a historic decision that will set the future of our country for generations."
Like most others, though, the prime minister had no easy answers about the way forward. She has signaled that she will appeal to the European Union in Brussels for more concessions and try again to win parliamentary approval, but the bloc is unlikely to grant her any concessions unless she has a convincing new plan.
After the vote, Mrs. May said she would allow members of Parliament to debate the various Brexit plans being bandied about.
Mr. Springford of the Center for European Reform said that if Parliament coalesced around a clear proposal for the future, Mrs. May could try to negotiate such a result with the European Union.
But to win Labour Party support, any new proposal would likely be a so-called "softer" Brexit that would keep closer economic ties to the European Union.
Mr. Corbyn would then be on the spot, forced to decide whether to work with Mrs. May on Brexit or bow to pressure from within his party for a second referendum.
"I think it's now between a softer Brexit and a second referendum," Mr. Springford said.
Still, with no consensus behind any one path, and a vanishing window for further negotiation, more radical solutions are rising to the fore.
One group of lawmakers is campaigning for a repeat referendum, which could potentially reverse the decision to leave the European Union. Another favors leaving the bloc as planned on March 29 without a withdrawal agreement, a so-called "hard" Brexit.
Mrs. May had expected to lose Tuesday's critical vote, having lost the support of many of her own lawmakers. But her surrogates scrambled up to the moment of the vote to rally lawmakers to her side in hopes of keeping the margin of loss narrow enough. That would have allowed her to try again for parliamentary approval.
Before the vote, the attorney general, Geoffrey Cox, raked his eyes over the backbenches of the Commons and rebuked Parliament, in a booming voice, for contemplating a sudden and unregulated end to 45 years of integration with Europe.
Exhorting his fellow Conservatives to get behind Mrs. May's plan, Mr. Cox asked: "What are you playing at? What are you doing? You are not children in the playground. You are legislators, and it is your job. We are playing with people's lives."
He continued, rolling his Rs in theatrical fashion, "Do we opt for order? Or do we choose chaos?"
The environment secretary, Michael Gove, was equally dramatic in a morning radio interview, warning lawmakers that "if we don't vote for this deal tonight, in the words of Jon Snow, winter is coming," a reference to "Game of Thrones."
But critics of the deal were equally adamant, saying Mrs. May had emerged from two years of negotiations with an agreement that satisfied no one.
Dominic Raab, who stepped down as Mrs. May's Brexit secretary in November, described her agreement as "wracked with self-doubt, defeatism and fear."
"This deal before us can't end the grinding process — it can only prolong it," Mr. Raab said. "It would torment us and our European neighbors for the foreseeable future."
Under normal circumstances, a British prime minister would be expected to resign after losing a vote on a flagship policy. But the Brexit process has so unsettled political conventions that Mrs. May could survive to make revisions and pitch her deal again.
In December, Mrs. May survived a leadership challenge from within her own Conservative Party and, under its rules, is safe from another until the end of the year.
"We have been in extraordinary circumstances," said Nikki da Costa, a former director of legal affairs at 10 Downing Street. "Things that in normal times would not be considered survivable have become normalized. What the government would be looking for is a pathway through this."
Ms. Da Costa predicted: "We will be doing this again in a couple of weeks' time."
Philip Cowley, a professor of politics at Queen Mary University of London, said he was struggling to identify a comparable defeat in the history of British politics.

Fahrenheit 451 (Prebound)
Search for Books or E-books
By Ray D. Bradbury
Ray Bradbury's internationally acclaimed novel "Fahrenheit 451"is a masterwork of twentieth-century literature set in a bleak, dystopian future.
Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden.
Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family." But then he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn't live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television.
When Mildred attempts suicide and Clarisse suddenly disappears, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known. He starts hiding books in his home, and when his pilfering is discovered, the fireman has to run for his life.

The question of grants success rate is a common one, universally. The fact is, no matter where you are working from, whether a grant application is successful or unsuccessful is not generally dependent on one contributing factor. It relies on a combination of all the elements of best practice grant-seeking coming together to achieve a successful outcome.
So, what are the essentials that will lead you to a successful grant-seeking strategy?
Ensure that the project for which you are applying for funding meets the eligibility criteria AND the guidelines for the specific funding round. Of course, you will have already confirmed that your organisation is eligible to apply to the particular funder.
You can demonstrate the need for the project with a strong evidence base.
You are clearly defining why your organisation is the best to deliver this project and receive the grant, and you have given the funder confidence you will deliver the project in the way you have said you would.
You are stating how your organisation / project is different from others that may be similar. i.e.: it is filling a gap.
Your project results will deliver the funder's desired outcomes and their selection criteria can all be met and exceeded.
You are able to measure the results of the project; outputs, outcome and impact forecasts.
The amount of funding you are seeking is in line with the levels of grants being made.
Collaborative partnerships with similar organisations are a priority and part of your program delivery, as relevant and wherever possible, to prevent duplication and increase dissemination of sector wide learning.
You will be able to complete the project on time, and provide the final report on time.
Because grants are major gifts, it is important to apply a major gift, relationship-based approach to your grants program. Wherever possible, speak to the funder to discuss your application and ask for clarification on anything that is not clear. And take the funder's advice. If they advise that your project isn't likely to receive funding, then don't go ahead and submit anyway.
And the big one – PLAN AHEAD! Last-minute applications will typically not present your best case. When you are rushing, steps are skipped and quality wanes.
And of course, it is always important to be clear about what you are measuring. You may have an application success rate of 15 percent but have doubled your income target. Follow the above steps and you should achieve both a good income target and application success rate.

Home / Local News / 10-hour stretch
10-hour stretch - by Barbados Today May 7, 2014
After ten hours of talks today, negotiations remain deadlocked between the management of the National Conservation Commission (NCC) and unions about the fate of 200 laid off employees.
The parties were locked in meetings, chaired by Deputy Chief Labour Officer Victor Felix, from 9:30 this morning at the Labour Department.
Present for the discussions were NCC chairman Earl Yarde; Dwaine Paul, deputy director of industrial relations at the Barbados Workers' Union; and general secretary Dennis Clarke and president Walter Maloney of the National Union of Public Workers.
While officials had declined earlier in the deliberations to comment to the media, dismissed NCC workers who were present expressed frustration with the pace of the talks.
Following the marathon session that ended promptly at 7:30 p.m., Maloney, was asked by reporters if there was the result.
"Indeed there is a result," he said, quickly adding: "It is not the result we were looking for."
"The NCC's position is that they want to go back to their principals on Friday and then after meeting with Minister of the Environment Denis Lowe, then to ask to have a meeting with us. We have some difficulty with this. They would have said that they would give us a list of the persons who work at NCC, along with those persons who would have been displaced. However, our position is that if you are going to call for a meeting on Friday, then we would expect that is what we are coming to discuss.
"They have not committed themselves to that. We have been trying to say, 'Well, what are we going to come on Friday to discuss?' There has been no commitment on that issue."
The NUPW president said: "As far as we are concerned we are wasting time. Both unions have been steadfast in what we have been asking for. We are saying that the memorandum that was sent from the Ministry of the Civil Service to all departments, including the unions, we had agreed to that the process [of retrenchment] will be 'last in, first out'.
"We are saying that we are going to use that as The Bible. That is what we agreed to. Any departure from that we would have difficulty with. So if you want to sit and discuss anything then we would have to be using that as the basis, as the guide for how people were displaced in the NCC. If you do not want to do that, then we have a difficulty," Maloney added.
He also poured cold water over Friday's meeting: "If you [NCC management] cannot tell us that the meeting will be to discuss those persons that would have been displaced, then what is the sense of the NUPW coming to the meeting?"
He said the unions were prepared to heighten their action, but stressed that there was a process in place and that the current developments had not reached the stage of strike action.

There's no doubt about it that boating is a recreational sport. It's a calming, relaxing way to dump the stresses of life and glide along a smooth plate glass of water while enjoying the sights and sounds of nature around you. When you are into boating, there are a lot of sports you can explore for recreational value.Water skiing is one of the most popular boating recreation sports that boaters do. It's fun to do and requires little in the way of equipment although the equipment can be a little expensive. A nice pair of water skis can run upwards of a couple hundred dollars, and a good slalom ski can be even more expensive. However, when you consider all you really need is skis and a tow rope, it's no wonder that water skiing is a popular boating recreation sport.Another fun recreational sport to do while boating is wake boarding – also known as boogie boarding. This involves taking a board much life a surfboard but smaller in size. A person kneels on the board while keeping hold of the tow rope and skims across the water jumping waves.Inner tubing is also another recreational boating sport many people enjoy. The fun part about inner tubing is that it can be done by small children and older people alike. Many tubes designed for pulling behind a boat will have handles on them to make it easier to hold on while traveling across the waves.Fishing is a recreational sport in and of itself, but when you are fishing while boating, you get double the enjoyment. You have access to areas not easily gotten to on land where the big fish are hiding just waiting for the tasty treat at the end of your fishing line. The leisurely float with a fishing pole in your hand is a great way to enjoy recreational boating sports.For some people, the ultimate recreational activity while boating is just sitting back and relaxing while the shore passes by. In a world where everyday life can be so stressful, relaxing can itself be considered a sport. After all, people participate in sports because they like them. Why can't relaxation be a recreational boating sport as well?The feel of the wind in your face as you are piloting your watercraft on a smooth lake is a recreational boating sport for anyone who loves boating. When you consider all of the other sports you can do while boating, the result is definitely some satisfying recreational activities.
Nobody has to tell you how stressful it is living in today's society. Because the cost of living has sky rocketed, we have to worry about paying bills, holding on to our jobs and providing for our children. Many of us work long hours seated at a desk, leaving us unable to get much exercise. To make matters worse, after we finally get home and put dinner on the table and get our children settled in for the night, we end up plopping down on the couch, in front of the television.
Some of us may head to the computer to surf the web or answer email correspondence. The combination of daily stress and lack of exercise has a poor effect on our bodies. It also impacts our minds because without a way to reduce stress, it may adversely our sleep habits and cause forms of insomnia. This can decrease our ability to think clearly during the day and can make it difficult to complete even simple tasks. That's why it is of great importance to find an outlet for our stress and have fun as well. One such way is to participate in recreational sports.
Participating in recreational sports is an excellent way to relieve stress. It can be as simple as joining your local bowling league. Bowling is a lot of fun and it's something that the whole family can participate in. You can rent the shoes for it at the alley and use their bowling balls, so you don't have to buy expensive gear. If you have extra space in your home, you can invest in a ping pong table.
It might not seem like it but ping pong is a great form of exercise because you have to move around your side of the table a lot to keep the ball in play. It also requires you to swing your arm which provides additional skill. Many people have turned to golf as a way to get in shape and relax. Golf requires a lot of walking and swinging of the club. Most golf courses are designed to look like parks so playing a game of golf can take you out of your stressful atmosphere at work and place you in a peaceful setting where you can get some exercise and relax at the same time.
There are many other choices available in recreational sports. You can choose to take a dance class, or go bicycle riding. You can team up with some friends and take daily walks around the neighborhood or even in the mall. Mall walking is very popular and many stores open early to allow people to walk through them without having to do so while the shoppers are there. There's also tennis, running and horseback riding. For the brave, there is parasailing and extreme sports like mountain climbing that burn calories and relieve stress while providing them with the thrills of a lifetime.

Over a tenth of Auckland rates income for a year has been spent on shifting Council from its home in the heart of Auckland to the backwater of Albert St. The new offices are described as 'palatial' where, as we know, the Mayor has got himself a city centre pad at the ratepayers' expense to suit his increasingly batchelor lifestyle.
Yes, good for management but not for democracy and that sums up the folly that is Auckland Council. Big noting on projects in the city centre that suit the staff while the smaller town centres are starved of cash.
This is set to get worse as the Herald reveals today.
Private and public projects on Auckland's drawing board have cracked the $10 billion mark. Auckland Council's City Centre Integration team has just released a map showing the huge public and private investment planned for the next decade.
Some, but too few, Councillors speak out against this folly.
But Auckland councillor Cameron Brewer said the CBD obsession was to the detriment of Auckland's 100 villages and town centres, now falling into disrepair.
Only about 12 per cent of Aucklanders worked in the CBD yet the small area was where most of the money was being sunk, particularly with the $2.5 billion City Rail Link.
"Instead of cutting funding to community projects, town centres, library hours and parks maintenance, I'd rather see the knife wielded at the CCOs and the CBD, that's where there's still plenty of fat to be found," he said.
"The public were promised that any money raised by an interim transport targeted rate, tolling or a fuel tax would be going towards providing essential intergenerational infrastructure projects that would help drive Auckland's economic growth.
"Now we learn that tolls will fund things like beautifying and pedestrianising Quay St and even the Quay St seawall upgrade. That will not impress Auckland drivers when the mayor has promised that extra and alternative revenue raised will go towards more roads and better public transport," Brewer said.
So in the end the mayor and planners vision for Auckland is to turn it into a look-alike of every other boring city centre in the world, except in the next ten years other cities will have created places for the future not the past.
Retrofitting the city centre to suit the highly paid, but frankly dumb, city planners who can afford to live there will bankrupt us all. The figures to pay for the expansion of this folly are staggering and way in excess of the income stream from ratepayers. Folly indeed.

The Africanized bee is a hybrid between African honey bees from Brazil and imported European bees. These bees have earned their nickname of being a "killer" bee because of their aggressive and defensive behavior. Movies have given a whole new meaning to the Africanized hybrid as looking to kill.  For a person to actually be killed by the Africanized bee, they would have to be stung hundreds of times and would probably have some sort of allergic reaction. On average, a person can handle 10 stings for every pound of body weight. Thus, even though a child could die if stung 500 times, an adult could handle more than twice that amount. There has only been one recorded killing by bees and the chances of this happening are very slim.
When a bee stings the venom sac, and part of the digestive system, is pulled out with the stinger.
The thorax is the section of the body where the legs and wings are attached. On the end of all six legs there are tarsi, which tastes the things it touches, and claws and arolia (pad between the claws). The claws and arolia are used to move around on surfaces and to land when flying. The first pair of legs, closest to the head, are used for cleaning the antennae. The second pair are specialized to remove the pollen that is brought into the hive. The third pair have a corbicula (pollen basket) that is used to transport pollen to the colony's hive. In contrast, on top/sides of the thorax there are two pairs of wings used for movement and transportation in the air. Of the two, the pair closest to the head is larger in size than the pair towards the back.
The abdomen consists of seven segments that are striped yellow and black. On the underside of the abdomen are glands that secrete wax. These are used to make the hive. The famous part of the bees' abdomen that most people first recognize when coming across a bee is the stinger. Female bees, the queens and sterile workers, are the only ones that have this fascinating appendage. Attached to the stinger is the venom bulb. When a bee stings, the venom bulb detaches from the body with the stinger and continues to pulsate and pump venom into the victim for some time after. The stinger itself is made up of two serrated rods on each side. This rod is injected into the victim and is pushed through by a muscle inside of the bees' abdomen. When a worker stings not only are the stinger and venom bulb left behind, but most times part of the digestive tract is also left attached to the sac. This happens because even though the bee will try and pull free, the jagged sides of the rods will stay in place, thus tearing off of the abdomen.  Since the abdomen is torn open the bee will die soon after a sting.
During "drone congregations" the Africanized honey bee drones wait for a virgin queen to make an appearance for mating. Because the bee is already a hybrid, the queen may or may not be Africanized or not. The hybrid drones' aggressive behavior and large quantities provide a more efficient mating opportunity with the queen over the European, average, honey bee. When these "drone congregations" occur, the female will leave for her hive with as much sperm to last a life-time. Another way would be a swarm taking over a European colony and either mating with their queen, or killing the queen and replacing it with their own.
These Africanized honey bee hives are being fed artificially because of the dry period this season.
Africanized honey bees swarming in a mesquite overhanging the wildflower gardens in Arizona. It was decided it was a security risk.
This is a European Honey Bee (Apis mellifera), of which, bred with a honey bee from Brazil. Thus producing the hybrid, Africanized honey bee.

Джером Янг (; ) — американский рестлер, более известный под псевдонимом как Нью Джек (aнгл. New Jack). Наиболее известен был своим участием в промоушене Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), где он прославился своей готовностью принимать опасные удары и своим жестким стилем хардкорного реслинга, часто подвергаясь большому риску и иногда стреляя в противников, в том числе случай на ринге с рестлером по прозвищу Mass Transit в 1996 году и ссора с Джипси Джо в 2003 году.

Также он известен тем, что был единственным рестлером, чья вступительная музыка («Natural Born Killaz» от Ice Cube и Dr. Dre) звучала во время его матчей в ECW. После закрытия промоушена в 2001 году Янг провел остаток своей карьеры, выступая на независимой сцене, вплоть до своей смерти в мае 2021 года.

Ранняя жизнь
Джером Янг родился 3 января 1963 года в Гринсборо, штат Северная Каролина. В 1968 году, когда ему было пять лет, он и его братья и сестры стали свидетелями того, как его отец несколько раз ударил мать ножом после того, как узнал, что она изменяла ему с другими мужчинами. Пять месяцев спустя он выстрелил ей в ногу, когда она попыталась уйти и забрать Янга с собой. Позже в том же году его отец умрет от сердечного приступа. Янг и его мать часто переезжали через всю Джорджию, обычно стараясь быть на шаг или два впереди домовладельцев, стремящихся их выселить. Часто посещал различные школы, прежде чем, наконец, окончить Среднею школу Террелла в Атланте. Находясь там, Янг добился определенных успехов в футболе, будущего новичка поддерживал учитель Джорджии Даррелл Нортон начиная с обороны и заканчивая в нападении. Он проявил талант к охвату пропусков и решил поступить в Университет Кларка в Атланте. Но в конце концов Янг и его друзья начали грабить магазины, такие как заправочные станции, магазины спортивных товаров и ювелирные магазины. Янг также был заядлым потребителем кокаина.

Карьера в рестлинге

United States Wrestling Association (1992—1993)
В 1992 году Янг тренировался под руководством Рэя Кэнди и дебютировал в Мемфисе, штат Теннесси, в АUnited States Wrestling Association (USWA), где он взял рингнейм Нью Джек, вдохновленное фильмом 1991 года «Нью Джек Сити». В июне 1993 года Янг выиграл свой первый титул, командный чемпионство USWA World Tag со своим партнером Хоумбоем, победив команду Просто Божественные и удерживая титул в течение двух недель, прежде чем потерять его К. В. Бергстрому и Мелвину Пенроду-младшему. Янг оставался в компании до конца лета.

North Georgia Wrestling Alliance (1993—1994)
Покинув Мемфис, Нью-Джек переехал в Атланту и выступал за North Georgia Wrestling Alliance и выиграл в их федерации пояс чемпионат в тяжелом весе. В начале 1994 года он объединился с бывшим талантом WCW Мустафой Саедом и сформировал команду Гангстеры, выиграв командный чемпионство NGWA в июле 1994 года, но быстро объявили его вакантным, так как они покинули территорию промоушена.

Smoky Mountain Wrestling (1994—1995)
Заработав свое имя, работая на Джима Корнетта выступая в промоушене Smoky Mountain Wrestling. Нью Джек создал группировку рестлеров под названием «Гангстеры». Где выступал с ней по югу и обычно выступал против южной команды бебифейсов the Rock 'n' Roll Express. Командным партнером Нью Джека был Мустафа Саид.

Extreme Championship Wrestling (1995—2001)

«Гангстеры (Gangstas)» (1995—1997)
В июне 1995 года Гангстеры присоединились к промоушену Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) в Филадельфии, дебютировав в промоушене в качестве хилльской команды, атаковав Public Enemy (Рокко Рока и Джонни Гранжа) на шоу ECW Barbed Wire, Hoodies and Chokeslams 17 июня 1995 года. Гангстеры дебютировали в ECW на ринге в Hardcore Heaven, против Врагов общества но проиграли им. Обе команды в течение всего года вступали в длительном фьюде, обменивались друг друга победами, причем вражда закончилась в матче по правилам уличной дракой на House Party (1996), которую выиграл Public Enemy. После этого шоу Public Enemy покинули ECW, тем самым положив конец фьюду. На CyberSlam (1996) Гангстеры должны были принять участие в матче против Охотников за головами, но Джек был заключен в тюрьму в Атланте, а Мустафа подвергся нападению Охотников за головами. 8 марта Джек вернулся в ECW на шоу Big Ass Extreme Bash, чтобы спасти Мустафу от нападения Охотников за головами, в результате чего Гангстеры стали в глазах публики в фэйсами.

Вскоре Гангстеры начали участвовать в командном дивизионе за Мировые Командные чемпионства ECW и вступили в соперничество с текущими командными чемпионами Элиминаторами (Джон Кронус и Перри Сатурн) и получили несколько тайтл-шотов против Элиминаторов, но потерпели неудачу. На шоу Fight the Power дебютировала группировка Samoan Gangstas Party (Лос-Анджелес Гладкий и Сэмми Шелк) дебютировала на ECW, атакуя гангстеров. Атака Samoan Gangstas Party стоила Гангстерам еще одного титульного боя против Элиминаторов на Hardcore Heaven (1996). Затем Гангстеры столкнулись с Samoan Gangstas Party в матче на шоу Heat Wave (1996), который закончился дракой между обеих команд. Фьюд Гангстеров с Элиминаторами, Samoan Gangsta Party и Братьями Синяками привела к четырехстороннему матчу между четырьмя командами на шоу The Doctor Is In, которые выиграли Гангстеры, тем самым завоевав свое первое мировое командное чемпионство. В течение года Гангстеры успешно защищали командные титулы против таких команд, как Samoan Gangsta Party, The Eliminators и Роб Ван Дам и Сабу.

23 ноября 1996 года Нью Джек был вовлечен в инцидент с рестлером по прозвищу Mass Transit в Ревире, штат Массачусетс. Гангстеры должны были встретиться с Ди-Фон Дадли и Акселем Роттеном. Роттен пропустил шоу и был заменен необученным семнадцатилетним подростком Эриком Куласом, который звал себя «Массом Транситом», убедив букера Пола Хеймана, что ему двадцать один год и его обучал опытный рестлер Киллер Ковальски. Кулас попросил, Нью Джека чтобы он его «заблейдил» во время матча, но разрез был сделан неправильно, что вызвало чрезмерное кровотечение. В результате Кулас был госпитализирован, и в итоге ему наложили пятьдесят швов. Нью-Джеку было предъявлено обвинение в нападении при отягчающих обстоятельствах, вызванном этим инцидентом, но он был оправдан. В июле 1998 года Кулас подал в суд на Нью Джека и ECW за ущерб, но проиграл дело. Кулас умер 12 мая 2002 года в возрасте 22 лет из-за осложнений после операции по шунтированию желудка.

4 января 1997 года на эпизоде Hardcore TV Гангстеры проиграли Мировые Командные чемпионства ECW Элиминаторам, закончив свой рейн в 139 дней. В течение следующих нескольких месяцев Гангстеры фьюдили с Элиминаторами и Дадли Бойз из-за титула. На шоу Heat Wave (1997) Гангстеры победили Дадли Бойз в матче в стальной клетке, завоевав второй раз мировые командные титулы ECW. После победы за командные титулы Мустафа Саед покинул ECW , что привело к роспуску команды Гангстеров. В следующем месяце на Hardcore Heaven Дадли Бойз вернули командные титулы, которые они лишились из-за ухода Саеда.

Бандиты (The Gangstanators) (1997—1998)
Уход Мустафы Саида и Перри Сатурна из ECW привел к тому, что Нью Джек сформировал новую команду с бывшим членом команды Элиминаторов Джоном Кронусом под названием Бандиты (The Gangstanators) 21 августа 1997 года, победив команду Дадли Бойз. 20 сентября команда дебютировала на телевидении в эпизоде Hardcore TV, когда Кронус завоевал титул командного чемпиона ECW World Tag Team Championship, победив Дадли, а затем Джек появился в качестве своего партнера по команде. На шоу «As Good as It Gets», Gangstanators получили свою титульную попытку победили Дадли Бойз и выиграли ECW World Tag Team Championship, ознаменовав третий рейн Джека за титул чемпиона. 1 ноября на эпизоде Hardcore TV, они проиграли пояса The Full Blooded Italians (Литтл Гвидо и Трейси Душерс) На Fright Fight в трехстороннем матче они победили Hardcore Chair Swingin' Freaks (Акселя Роттена и Боллса Махони) и Дадли Бойз и получили матч-реванш за титул против FBI, the Freaks и Dudleys в четырехстороннем матче на шоу November to Remember (1997), но проиграли.

В матче на House Party (1998) года The Gangstanators вновь возобновили фьюд с Дадли Бойз, обе команды участвовали в матче, в котором выиграли Дадли. Gangstanators заключили союз со Спайком Дадли, бывшим братом Дадли. На pay-per-view Living Dangerously Нью Джек и Спайк Дадли победили Hardcore Chair Swingin' Freaks и Дадли Бойз в трехстороннем матче. Затем Джек проиграл Бам Бам Бигелоу в Wrestlepalooza. Вскоре Джек начал выступать в соло, враждуя с Дадли Бойз. Приведя к тому, что Джек и Кронус тихо распустили команду Гангстеров и разошлись в разные стороны, поскольку Джек все чаще объединялся со Спайком Дадли, чтобы противостоять Дадли Бойз. Нью Джек начал таскать мусорное ведро, полное оружия, и бросать его на ринг как своего рода сверхсильный мешок для мусора.

Одиночные выступления (1999—2001)
Вражда Нью-Джека с Дадли Бойз продолжилась в 1999 году, когда он объединился со Спайком Дадли, проиграв на шоу Guilty as Charged (1999). На Crossing the Line '99 Джек вызвал своего бывшего партнера по команде Гангстеры Мустафу Саеда, чтобы сразиться с Дадли Бойзом, но Мустафа набросился на Джека, разбив гитару об его голову, и показал себя таинственным благодетелем Дадли, который хотел изгнать The Public Enemy и Нью Джека из ECW. В результате Джек начал фьюд с Мустафой, кульминацией которого стал матч между ними в Living Dangerously, который выиграл Джек. В CyberSlam, Джек объединился с Hardcore Chair Swingin' Freaks (Аксель Роттен и Боллз Махони), проиграв в Ultimate Jeopardy матче Мустафе и Дадли. После этого Джек протащил Мустафу через стол с ныряющим сплешом прыгнул с верхней части клетки. В результате чего Джек выбыл из строя на следующие несколько месяцев, пока не вернулся в строй в ECW на шоу Heat Wave, напав на Дадли Бойза с оружием из корзины для покупок.

На эпизоде ECW от 22 октября на TNN Джек получил свою первую возможность принять участие за Мировое чемпионство ECW в тяжелом весе против Майка Крутого, но не смог выиграть титул. 5 ноября на эпизоде ECW на TNN Джек спас команду Hardcore Chair Swingin' Freaks от нападения Da Baldies (Испанский Ангел, Вито ЛоГрассо, Тони Девито и Вик Граймс), но Ангел ударил Джека в глаза. Приведя к длительному фьюду между Джеком и Ангелом за неофициальный титул «Король улиц». По этому поводу оба сражались назад и вперед в кровавых уличных драках. Одним из самых ужасных моментов на телевидении ECW был момент, когда во время матча Энджел использовал против него степлер Нью Джека (который он часто носил на шее на цепочке), воткнув ему в глаз. Судьи отменили матч, и Нью Джек исчез из эфира на несколько месяцев. К концу 1999 года Нью Джек вернулся, его глаз, казалось бы, восстановился, теперь он носил косу на шее, утверждая, что он «модернизировал» пистолет для скрепок.

Их первая встреча состоялась на шоу November to Remember (1999), где Джек и Фрики проиграли Da Baldies в гандикап матче. На pay-per-view Guilty as Charged (2000) Джек проиграл Ангелу в одиночном матче из-за вмешательства одного из членов Da Baldies. 12 марта на pay-per-view в прямом эфире шоу Living Dangerously (2000) в Данбери, штат Коннектикут, Нью Джек получил серьезные травмы во время матча против Вика Граймса, связанного с ударом, который потребовал, чтобы они прыгнули и упали на 15 футов (4,5 метра) с лесов. Всего за несколько секунд до прыжка Граймсу стало неохота делать этот очень рискованный удар, и Новый Джек, раздраженный нежеланием Граймса (из-за прямой трансляции у них не было времени импровизировать), потащил Граймса вниз вместе с ним после счета три, и Граймс неловко упал через полсекунды после Джека вместо того, чтобы упасть вместе самым безопасным способом. Они упали с лесов, промахнулись мимо столов, которые должны были смягчить их силу падения, но приземлились на бетонный пол, а Граймс приземлился на голову Нового Джека. Новый Джек получил повреждение головного мозга, сломанную ногу, перелом черепа (что привело к постоянной бессоннице) и был навсегда ослеплен на правый глаз и проведя шесть месяцев, восстанавливаясь, но даже будучи раненым, спустя два месяца Джек победил лидера Da Baldies Энджела в матче на Hardcore Heaven.

Вскоре Нью Джек появился на последним шоу ECW Heat Wave (2000) на костылях, где Энджел приставил ему свой пистолет для скрепок ко лбу, пока Нова и Крис Четти не спасли его и не победили Da Baldies в командном матче. Джек вновь выбыл из строя на следующие несколько месяцев. 22 сентября он вернулся в ECW на эпизод ECW на TNN, где он спас Спайка Дадли от нападения Джастина Джексона и Носорога, но они объединились в двойную команду. На November to Remember (2000) Джек был претендентом номер за Мировое телевизионное чемпионство ECW против Райно, но не смог выиграть титул. В своем последнем матче от 17 декабря на эпизоде Hardcore TV ECW Джек победил давнего соперника Энджела. Позже Джек остовался в промоушене, который был закрыт из-за банкротства месяц спустя, в январе 2001 года.

XPW и Независимая сцена (2001—2012)
После того, как ECW объявила о банкротстве в апреле 2001 года, Нью Джек начал выступления на независимой сцене. В 2001 и 2002 годах он выступал в XPW, а в 2003 году он неоднократно выступал в Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, а также в Combat Zone Wrestling, выступая в Cage of Death V. В 2004 году Джек появился в IWA и WWE в темных матчах. 10 июня 2005 года, работал на шоу воссоединения ECW, Hardcore Homecoming, а также участвовал в туре «Extreme Reunion» с 15 по 16 сентября.

В феврале 2002 года Джек встретился с Виком Граймсом в матче на эшафоте на турнире XPW's Freefall . В качестве заключительного маневра матча Джек потряс Граймса электрошокером, прежде чем сбросить его с эшафота и отправить на ринг на 40 футов (12,20 м.) ниже; на ринге было более двенадцати столов, сложенных друг на друга, чтобы остановить падение, из которых Граймс пропустил все, кроме двух, и был в шаге от того, чтобы полностью пропустить ринг, что могло его убить. Он сломался, упав на верхнюю веревку, вывихнув лодыжку среди других травм. В документальном фильме 2005 года «Навсегда хардкор» и эпизоде Dark Side of the Ring 2020 года, посвященном ему, Джек утверждал, что это был отрыв от сценария, и его намерения состояли в том, чтобы бросить Граймса так сильно, чтобы он упал головой вперед на стальной тернбакл и был бы убит. По словам Джека, это было сделано из-за обиды, вызванной тем, что Граймс не связался с ним, когда оправлялся от травм после их падения в Данбери. Однако Арт О'Доннелл, писатель для WrestleCrap, оспаривает это, ссылаясь на очевидную озабоченность Джека безопасностью Граймса в предыдущем матче за XPW и на то, насколько преднамеренным казалось это место.

В апреле 2003 года Нью Джек участвовал в хардкорном поединке с давним рестлером Джипси Джо. Перед матчем Джек встретился с Джо и спросил букера шоу, что он должен с ним делать. Джеку сказали: «Джипси Джо крепок, как кожа», и Джек ответил, что он не собирается терять ценность доллара от этого матча и не будет устраивать комедийный или гиммиковый матч, но он точно убьет Джо в этом матче. По неизвестным причинам Джо постоянно не использовал селлинг на Нью Джеке, и Джо ударил его головой в нос. Затем Джек разозлился на Джо и решил добиться подлинного успеха, законно напав на 69-летнего мужчину с цепью, фотографией его тети в рамке, бейсбольной битой, обмотанной колючей проволокой, и несколькими другими видами оружия. Толпа, напуганная жестоким избиением Джеком этого человека, либо с отвращением покинула шоу, либо начала называть Джека N-словом, термином, которым его называли почти каждую неделю во время его выступлений Smoky Mountain Wrestling. В интервью для Vice в 2019 году Джек заявил: «Чем больше они называли меня ниггером, тем злее я становился и тем больше избивал парня».

В октябре 2004 года Нью Джек, выступающий за Thunder Wrestling Federation, должен был сразиться с другим борцом Уильямом Джейсоном Лейном на шоу недалеко от Джексонвилла, штат Флорида. Во время матча Лейн, к удивлению Нью-Джека, начал на законных основаниях бить его по лицу и нанес несколько ударов. Затем Нью Джек вытащил металлическое лезвие из своего камуфляжного борцовского костюма и несколько раз ударил Лейна ножом в голову. Новый Джек заявил в документальном сериале Vice «Темная сторона кольца», что в новостях говорилось, что он ударил Лейна ножом 16 раз. Это действие привело к тому, что Нью-Джек получил различные обвинения в совершении тяжких преступлений, в том числе за нападение при отягчающих обстоятельствах с применением смертоносного оружия и нападение при отягчающих обстоятельствах с целью совершения убийства. Нью Джек утверждал, что эти двое встретились перед матчем и договорились использовать «кусок металла», чтобы нанести травму. Несмотря на это, сотрудник полиции, который записывал инцидент, заявил, что все выглядело так, как будто это был «обычный матч по реслингу». Организатор мероприятия, г-н Морис Уильямс, утверждает, что мероприятие никогда не планировалось как хардкорное. Нью Джек утверждал, что он нанес Лейну всего девять ударов ножом. Новый Джек объявил о своем уходе на XPW в Cold Day To Hell в 2008 году, хотя он продолжал работать в независимых шоу. В 2012 году Нью Джек выступал за Extreme Rising и CZW.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2003, 2010)
В течение 2003 года Нью Джек время от времени выступал в TNA. 2 апреля 2003 года NWA-TNA, Нью Джек, Перри Сатурн и Сэндмен победили Кристофера Дэниелса и Братьев Харрис. 9 апреля NWA-TNA Нью-Джек и Сэндмен проиграли трехсторонний матч братьям Харрис. 16 апреля на NWA-TNA Новый Джек и Сэндмен проиграли Брайану Ли и Слэшу. 23 апреля на NWA-TNA Нью Джек, Перри Сатурн и Сэндмен победили Брайана Ли, Слэша и Майка Офигенного в матче Ultimate Sin. 7 мая на NWA-TNA Нью Джек участвовал в матче по хардкорным правилам с 3-мя способами, который выиграл Сабу. 21 мая NWA-TNA Нью-Джек и Шарк-бою проиграли Рону Киллерсу и Дону Харрису в командном матче Альянса Анархии. Затем участвовал в турнире Hard 10, победив Слэша в четвертьфинале, затем победил Майка Сандерса в полуфинале, а затем проиграл в финале Сэндмену. 16 июля NWA-TNA Нью Джек (также в маске акулы) и Шарк-бою проиграли братьям Харрис в финальном матче TNA Нью Джека.

8 августа 2010 года Нью Джек появился на шоу воссоединения ECW TNA «Hardcore Justice», где он и Мустафа напали на Team 3D и Джоэла Гертнера после матча.

Возвращение в профессиональный реслинг (2016—2021)
16 апреля 2016 года Нью Джек появился в «Money Mark Productions» и выступал за «Money Mark Productions», встретившись с Брэдом Кэшем в Льюисбурге, штат Теннесси. 11 июня 2016 года Нью Джек должен был встретиться с бывшей звездой UFC Филом Барони в несанкционированном матче на шоу Pro Wrestling Syndicate в бальном зале Starland в Сайревилле, штат Нью-Джерси. В октябре Новый Джек появился на турнире Crushed 2 в Миннеаполисе, где он вмешался в матч между Юджином и Томми Ли Кертисом. Выбежав с мусорным баком, полным оружия, Нью Джек помог спасти Юджина от побоев и закончил тем, что прыгнул через стол, прижав Томми Ли Кертиса, хотя он только и вмешивался на протяжении всего матча и не был настоящим конкурентом; это было объявлено как его последнее появление на Среднем Западе.

Примерно в том же году, когда Янг шел к дому с реслинг шоу, упав в обморок, и врачи обнаружили сгустки крови у него в ногах, спине и легких, сказав: «С болью в сердце, которая у меня уже была, я чувствовал, что приближаюсь к финальному звонку». В январе Джек был выбит из баттл-роялла Майком Белым, а впоследствии Джек победил Майка в одиночном матче. В марте он объединился с другими выпускниками ECW, Сэндменом и Джастином, одержав победу на шоу ECW, и выступил в VIP-рестлинге, победив Масаду. Прежде чем взять отпуск из-за операции, в своих последних матчах, предшествовавших его смерть, Джек столкнулся с другими выпускниками ECW К. У. Андерсоном и Шейном Дугласом.

Другие медиа
В видеоигре ECW Anarchy Rulz тематическая песня Нью Джека была перезаписана Бутси Коллинзом с уникальными текстами, в отличие от темы любого другого персонажа, которая состояла из кавер-версий их реальных тем. Настоящая тема («Natural Born Killaz») не могла быть представлена; так как проблемы с авторским правом со стороны их звукозаписывающих лейблов не позволили бы этого.

Нью Джек был показан в документальном фильме 1999 года о реслинге за пределами ковра (англ. Beyond the Mat).[5] Кроме того, 6 мая 2000 года он появился в телесериале «Завтра наступит сегодня» в роли байкера в эпизоде «Мел Шварц, охотник за головами». Он также был показан в видеоигре Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes the Neighborhood.

Нью Джек также является предметом эпизода документального сериала «Темная сторона ринга». Часовой эпизод дебютировал на канале Vice 31 марта 2020 года.

Новый Джек упоминается в сингле Weezer 1996 года «El Scorcho» со строчкой «смотрю, как Гранж бросает Нью Джека через пресс-стол».

Нью Джек, вместе с инди рестлером Джеем Лав, один раз появился на The Daily Show, в эпизоде шоу 9 мая 2013 года, в сегменте под названием «Держись подальше от школы».

Взгляды
В 2008 году Янг принял участие в съемках интервью с Железным шейхом и Хонки Тонком, где обсуждалось двойное убийство и самоубийство Криса Бенуа. Янг отметил, что ничто не может оправдать того, что сделал Бенуа, и все, кто в WWE или где-либо еще защищал Бенуа или реслинг бизнес от общественного контроля, были лицемерами. Янг также подумал, что иронично, что ECW рассматривался как насильственная и опасная акция, в которой поощрялось употребление наркотиков, но за пятилетний срок работы Янга в компании умер только один человек, в то время как WWE «в среднем три (смерти) в год». В том же интервью Янг обвинил председателя WWE Винса Макмахона в убийстве и содействии фальсификации тестов рестлеров на наркотики.

Янг критиковал Пола Хеймана как промоутера, в первую очередь из-за склонности Хеймана лгать своему ростеру, а также из-за того, что он обманывал их из-за зарплаты. В 2012 году Янг раскритиковал Мясника Абдуллу за использование грязных лезвий на борцах и заявил, что у него ВИЧ-тест был положительным.

Личная жизнь, проблемы со здоровьем и смерть
С 2009 по 2011 год Янг состоял в отношениях с Терри Раннелс; после того, как отношения закончились, Раннелс подал в суд на Янга за клевету и блокирование распространения фотографий Раннелса откровенного сексуального характера, которые у него были.

Янг был женат на Дженнифер Янг. Одна из его дочерей, являлась Дрэг-квин по имени Вашингтон Хайтс, рассказала в 2020 году, что Янг отрекся от нее несколькими годами ранее из-за того, что была трансвеститом. Янг ответил на претензии, заявив: «Мой сын был упомянут в моей книге, которая только что вышла в прошлом году, поэтому заявление о том, что я отрекся от него три года назад, просто неправда». Позже Янг прокомментировал видео в прямом эфире Facebook: «Я просто хотел бы сказать тебе, маленький педик, ублюдок: ты знаешь, кто ты, и ты не мой сын». Позже Янг прокомментировал видео в прямом эфире Facebook: «Я просто хотел бы сказать тебе, маленький педик, ублюдок: ты знаешь, кто ты, и ты не мой сын, ты маленькая сучка». Хайтс заявил после смерти Янга, что «он гордился мной.. Он хотел все исправить, но не знал как».

Выйдя на пенсию, Янг регулярно принимал прописанные ему обезболивающие, чтобы облегчить боль от различных травм, полученных им во время своей карьеры. В 2016 году он упал в обморок, когда шел домой с реслинг шоу. У него были диагностированы сгустки крови в ногах и спине, в дополнение к проблемам с сердцем. Томми Дример рассказал, что когда он попытался пригласить Янга для продвижения своего промоушена House of Hardcore, Янг сказал, что у него плохо со здоровьем и он часто прикован к постели из-за проблем с сердцем и ухудшения зрения.

14 мая 2021 года Янг умер от сердечного приступа во второй половине дня в своем доме в Гринсборо, штат Северная Каролина, в возрасте 58 лет.

DVD Review – Straight A's
Posted on March 19, 2013 by bernardovillela
I don't frequently write DVD reviews, but upon seeing this film I was compelled to watch the special bonus features on it as well. Typically, I would stick to a review of the program on the disc, but have included thoughts on the features below.
The film has a very basic synopsis and I will not elaborate much at all on that here. It's likely better that you go in knowing that much or less about this film. Straight A's really caught me by surprise as a refreshing, character-driven family dramedy, that doesn't get bogged down in the histrionics that are potential pitfalls of a film with a synopsis such as this one.
I will readily admit that I just may have a soft spot for family dramedies. However, the recent film in the subgenre that comes to mind for me is Fireflies in the Garden, and that film pushes its melodramatic limits, whereas there is a fairly realistic grounding to be found here. Characters' motivations and reactions make sense, things are played up as much as they need to be and are still fairly effective. While the overtures of external conflict are apparent, there is also a lot inner-turmoil that the film is wise enough to hold the reins on, and allow some disputes to be settled sub-textually rather than textually.
There are two things this film does very well early on that set it up for success: The first is that it establishes an overt structure for the titles that confirm the passage of time and that a new day has begun. I'm not one who is slavish towards a ticking clock mentality, but far too often films employing this sub-division approach lag because we as an audience have no clue what the endgame is, and they'd be better off letting time flow organically. This structure becomes intrinsic to this film and aids the flow of it.
That narrative structure established is confirmed by the voice over of the film's narrator Charles (Thomas Riley Stewart) and that sets up one of the many wonderful symmetries of this film. Quite a few pieces of dialogue, motifs and themes come back around unexpectedly and close many a tidy, well-wrought circle. This is assisted by the strong, certain manner in which the narrative asserts itself.
In building these characters the film does well to split the job. It always shows something about them when they're alone, usually visually, and is constantly rounding in interaction, but perhaps the best work the film does is through dialogue. The black sheep returning to the fold is Scott (Ryan Phillippe) who is always direct. There is also the fact that Charles is very intelligent that could lead to a number of pitfalls, but his dialogue isn't instantly and persistently showy, and neither of the kids are condescended to. It's just one tool that that the film uses to constantly add new definition to its main characters, but one of the best used.
One good example both of dialogue and of how the film avoids overplaying its hand is one of the lead-up-to events – an oral presentation Charles has before his whole school. In this sequence, I was reminded of how the speech in Crazy, Stupid, Love devolved from its diegetic script to being a very literal thinking out loud. There's a clear message, but never one that's bluntly said. It's also another good case of follow-through in the subjective editing choices that are made.
There is also good use of montages and cross-cutting sequences that are more nested and less overt than you see many times. For as strong as the film is with its use of dialogue, it doesn't ignore the visual end of things either and has quite a few visual signatures throughout.
Of course, any film described as character-driven needs its actors to deliver in order to work and this film has that as well. Ryan Phillippe seems to be quite connected throughout and fills in those blanks the script can't; portraying troubled, irresponsible with good intentions that could just read like a jerk. Luke Wilson, like in Meeting Evil, finds a part that really seems to suit his type, his poker-faced, button-lipped character's moment of decision reads better due the whole of his performance. Paquin's facade of control is always erected, even as she loses it, and it makes her a presence that can be reasonable seem to be one that would be acquiesced to, even by Scott. There's also Powers Boothe with a significant secondary role, that's sensitive and understated. Boothe is an actor who you literally can't see enough of. Last, but not least, there's Riley Thomas Stewart who has the unenviable task of playing intelligent, precocious yet still childlike and endearing, and he succeeds with flying colors. Even when the dialogue is clearly designed to show his vast intellect it just sounds like Charles talking as opposed to an actor doing a line reading, which is a hard task with verbose lines.
Straight A's is the kind of film that might slip under one's radar. I know I'm glad I found it, as it's yet another dark horse for this year that I really connected with.
While they are a little stripped-down with quick cuts to black and spotty audio, the three special features on the disc make up for in content what they lack in flash.
There's a featurette, which is about trailer-length that's a quick splicing together of interview and final film footage.
There are interviews with director, producers and several stars of the film, which run about 17 minutes and explore the themes of the work rather well without getting overly-bogged down in minutiae, but also lends a personal perspective from each participant with interesting tidbits.
Most interesting to me was the behind the scenes footage. They were usually rather quick shots taken during production of the set-up of shots, gear being put in place or moved, takes being done, or re-done and the like. This runs around six minutes. It's bereft of commentary so it would likely be more intriguing for a filmmaker, but it is an interesting touch to be added to the package.
Straight A's is out on DVD and Blu-Ray today.

Integrate Azure MFA with the Windows login process, maybe through Windows Hello for Business.
From what I can see it's not currently possible to integrate Azure MFA into the Windows domain login process as a second factor. For example, if a user was to authenticate to the local AD first and then be required to use Azure MFA to add a second factor, using the Microsoft Authenticator app. This would remove the need for third party smartcards or hardware tokens.
