Wildlife in Canada: 11 animals you could meet
Canada's wilderness is big and beautiful, and the country is blessed in that some of the world's most spectacular animals call it their home.
If you have always dreamt of seeing a polar bear, grizzly bear or killer whale, you can on a Canadian holiday; the fascinating wildlife of Canada is just one reason why it's such as popular holiday destination.
Here we guide you through just some of the wildlife you could come across on your holiday.
On the western shore of Hudson Bay it is easy to forget that the polar bear is endangered. These magnificent animals descend on Churchill and the surrounding area, which is why Churchill is regarded as the polar bear capital of the world.
Polar bears are incredible animals and are the only bear to be considered a marine mammal because they depend so much on the marine environment for survival. The polar bear is the largest land carnivore in North America and can often weigh between 400-600kg.
There are a variety of ways to see these magnificent animals. The 5-day Churchill and Polar Bear Experience Adventurer tour is one great way to get up close and personal with these majestic bears.
The Tundra Buggy Adventure excursion, which is part of our trip, is the best and safest way to see the majestic polar bear in its natural environment. Tundra Buggy Tours can take up to 40 people and visitors will have the opportunity to explore the open tundra while expert tour guides discuss the different wildlife in the Churchill area.
Canada is prime territory to go whale watching, with over 30 species roaming the 202,000 km of coastline.
These giants of the sea are spectacular and British Columbia is a brilliant location to spot a variety of different whales.
Canada's waters are so abundant with whales that whale sightings on Eagle Wing Tours, a 100% carbon-neutral whale-watching company, from May-October are a staggering 98%. Visitors can see wild killer whales in their natural environment as resident (fish-eating) killer whales spend their summers in the Salish Sea eating Chinook salmon, while Bigg's (mammal-eating) killer whales can be seen in British Columbia year-round.
Wild Whales Vancouver, who offer 3-7 hour whale watching trips that depart from Granville Island, said that as well as killer whales there are a variety of other whale species you can see.
Humpback whales have made an extraordinary comeback over the past few years and now spend their summers in Canada's waters. Minke whales are often spotted on a daily basis. If that's not enough, then wildlife lovers can also see fin whales and gray whales.
Smaller cetaceans such as harbour porpoise, Dall's porpoise, harbour seals, harp seals, hooded seals, elephant seals, Steller and California Sea Lions can also be seen in the waters of Canada. In the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence in Quebec, for example, around 2,000 harbour seals, 3,000 grey seals and 600,000 hooded seals can be found, while about 6.8 million harp seals can be found in the Eastern Atlantic.
Grizzly Bears and Black Bears
Mother and cub in Glendale Cove, BC.
Grizzly bears, officially named brown bears, are one of the most iconic symbols of the wild and their concave faces, hump on their shoulders and long claws make them very distinctive.
Grizzlies get their name from the long guard hairs on their backs and shoulders, as the white tips give the bears a "grizzled" look. Generally the bears are dark brown, although sometimes they have light cream or black fur.
One of the best ways to see grizzly bears is on our Bear and Wildlife Watching tour at Knight Inlet Lodge.
The Knight Inlet Lodge is located north of Campbell River in British Columbia and being the "Salmon Capital of the World" the area is home to one of the largest concentrations of grizzly bears in the world.
Glendale Cove, where the lodges are located, is also home to black bears, the smallest of the three bears found in North America. These animals often have black fur, although black bears with white-bluish fur, known as Kermode bears, can also be found in British Columbia and are the only place in the world they can be seen.
Black bears eat plants, fruits, honey, insects, salmon, young deer, moose calves and other small mammals.
An iconic animal in Canada, the largest member of the deer family is the king of the forests of Canada.
Le Quebec Maritime, the tourism association for the Eastern part of the Quebec province, said the moose population has reached an exceptional density in the Matane Wildlife Reserve, where a moose interpretation centre and a wide range of observation and interpretive activities introduce visitors to this unique animal.
Male moose are recognisable because of their huge antlers, which can spread a jaw-dropping six feet wide. Moose's long faces and muzzles that dangle over their chins also make this animal very distinguishable.
Moose prefer to eat higher grasses and shrubs because lowering their heads can be tough, therefore pinecones are a very popular food. However, an interesting fact is that moose can swim underwater to eat aquatic plants like water lillies.
Despite their laid-back nature and appearance, moose can actually run up to 35 miles per hour and will become aggressive if they feel threatened.
White-tailed deer can be found across most of Canada, but the largest population lives on Anticosti Island (in Côte-Nord).
Introduced in 1896 by Henri Menier, who owned Anticosti at the time, white-tailed deer have now reached a population of 166,000 animals on a territory of about 7900 km² (3100 sq. mi.) with a human population of 300!
Caribou, also known as reindeer, feed on the abundant grasses and plants of the tundra. An adult caribou can eat 12 pounds of food each day.
Surprisingly caribou are the only deer where male and females both have antlers. Gaspésie National Park is home to the only caribou herd south of the St. Lawrence. A population of over 400,000 caribou also lives in the Fermont area, in Côte-Nord.
There are millions of bird species found in Canada. Visitors can see the likes of northern gannets, Atlantic puffins and common eiders in the maritime regions of Québec.
Arguably the most famous bird that lives in Canada is the bald eagle. The dark brown feathers on its body and white feathers on its head, as well as their yellow beaks, make this bird of prey one of the most beautiful birds in the country.
Bald eagles are a type of fish eagle and if you are specifically on the lookout for these magnificent birds then the best places to see them are by rivers and by the sea.
The lakes and forests of Canada are home to plenty of other birds, like the albatross, golden eagle, the peregrine and prairie falcons, the northern gannet, the Canada goose, the northern mockingbird, the common nighthawk, the woodpecker and the tundra swan, to name just a few.
Fish, saltwater and freshwater species
Canada's maritime regions are full of fish and its rivers and lakes provide rich habitats for a variety of aquatic life.
For example, some of the saltwater fish and crustaceans that can be found in Canada include snow crab, lobster and northern shrimp, as well as mackerel, herring and halibut. The Le Quebec Maritime organisation says that American eel is still fished commercially today, while freshwater species such as Atlantic salmon are found in abundance in Matane in Quebec.
If you are still looking for your aquatic fix, then head to Ripley's Aquarium of Canada in Toronto, where you can see over 16,000 marine animals, including green sea turtles. The aquarium also boasts 57 live exhibits, over 100 interactive displays and four touch pools.
The Dangerous Lagoon at Ripley's Aquarium features 17 sharks, including sand tiger, sandbar and nurse sharks.
The largest wild member of the dog family is the wolf and whilst British Columbia is well-known for being a popular destination for Canada ski holidays and breaks, it is also an established habitat for wolves. Labrador, the Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories of Canada are also home to wolves.
Wolves are legendary because of their spine-tingling howl and their pack mentality. They live and hunt in packs, usually consisting of six to 10 animals.
Wolves can easily travel 12 miles in a single day as they stalk large animals like deer and moose.
Although symbolic with the Great Plains in the US, Canada is home to a large population of bison, or buffalo as they are commonly known.
These formidable beasts stand 5-6.5 feet tall and can often tip the scales at 907 kilograms. Although they are huge, they can reach speeds of up to 40 miles per hour.
Bison mainly feed on plains grasses, herbs, shrubs and twigs and can mainly be seen in very large herds during the summer mating season.
To spot them visitors should head to northeast British Columbia, northwest Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories.
The second largest wild cat in the Americas is the cougar. It can be found in western Canada and has been seen across the prairies of southern Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick.
Despite being seen in prairies, the cougar often calls rocky mountains and dark forests its home. The fearsome predator has a field vision that spans 130 degrees and has been known to kill animals four times its size due to its fantastic ability to stealthily track its prey.
The cougar has small rounded ears, red, grey or brown fur, a long tail with a black tip, white fur on its belly, chest and throat and has very large front paws.

2010 Zagato Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa
The 2010 Zagato Alfa Romeo Corsa is one great deal of a super car that is not to be trifled with by the weak at heart. The race car is a tribute to the speedy and winning history of the Alfa Romeo, and true to its legacy, it sports a body design and performance that are sure to bring more fame and envious remarks to the series and to the company.
The TZ3 Corsa is marked by a lightweight body made of aluminum, and a mono shell tubular chassis of carbon fiber. It weighs 1847 lbs, and is packed with a powerful 4.2 liter V8 engine capable of a horse power that reaches up to 420 counts. Also, the vehicle is capable of a speed that reaches over 186 mph, definitely making it one tough rival in the racetracks. Add to that the acceleration rate of 62 mph that is accomplished in less than 3.5 seconds.
Actually, looking at the car alone is enough to have an idea of everything that is capable of. The grey stripe that runs the length of its body, from the hood to the roof and to the back, is simply sporty, while the flashy red paint hints on fun, style and superb versatility.

Northeast Florida high school sports notebook: Dearing, Kypriss to enter FACA Hall
Dearing, Kypriss to enter FACA Hall
Two Northeast Florida champion coaches have been selected for the Florida Athletic Coaches Association Hall of Fame.
Former Bolles track and field coach Dan Dearing and Nease tennis coach Michael Kypriss were both selected for the honor.
Dearing, who led the Bulldogs from 2004 to 2019, led Bolles to Florida High School Athletic Association girls team championships in 2014, 2016 and 2017 as well as a boys team championship in 2019.
Kypriss coached in South Florida for more than 30 years, winning seven state tennis team championships while in charge at Miami Killian, two boys and five girls. He then moved to Miami Dr. Krop, where the tennis squad won nine more championships, four for boys and five for girls. He took charge of the Panthers' program in 2016.
Induction is scheduled for January in Daytona Beach.
Georgia lays out COVID-19 guidelines
The Georgia High School Association is now permitting small-sided intra-squad drills as administrators continue to seek a safe return to action amid the coronavirus pandemic.
In the GHSA's new guidelines, issued Thursday, teams may compete in groups like 7-on-7 or 3-on-3, although these competitions are limited only to players at the same school. Group sizes are capped at 50.
The association said that students should use their own water bottles, which may be refilled during workouts, and recommends the wearing of masks when possible. Football helmets, pads and similar equipment, however, are not permitted.
The GHSA also cleared cheerleading, volleyball and softball (the latter a fall sport in Georgia) to begin tryouts.
Jacksonville track world mourns Holmes

They occupied their squares to defeat tyrants; we occupy our squares to defeat the tyranny of business as usual.
By John Feffer, October 11, 2011 .
Tyrants are ruthless. They throw people in jail, execute them without trial, suppress the press. They can rule for decades. They can attempt to set up dynasties. But in the modern age, tyrants have a shelf life. We live in an age of activism, and tyrants are always looking over the shoulder to make sure the military is behind them, the human rights community isn't breathing down their neck, or their "adoring masses" aren't camped out in the public square demanding their exit from history.
Our leaders in the United States aren't tyrants. Instead, we face the tyranny of "business as usual." Here's an example from a recent report, America Loses, from my colleagues at the Institute for Policy Studies. In 2004, Congress passed a bill that allowed U.S. corporations to repatriate their profits sitting in overseas accounts. It was supposed to be a deal: the government wouldn't tax the profits and the corporations would use the money to create jobs. The corporations went ahead and brought home more than $100 billion, the IRS looked the other way, and you want to know how many jobs were created?
Worse than zero. The 13 companies profiled in the report actually cut more than 60,000 jobs. And now the corporations are asking Congress for yet another tax holiday, and this time they promise, really promise, to create jobs. Yeah, right.
During the Arab Spring, Tunisians and Egyptians and Yemenis and Bahrainis all poured into their public squares to demand the ouster of their tyrants. Now, inspired, Americans are pouring into their public squares to demand the end of a different kind of tyranny, the tyranny of Wall Street, of business as usual.
GE has already won, in a sense. It has more money in offshore accounts – $94 billion – than any other U.S. corporation, and Jeffrey Immelt has personally made $56 million in executive compensation over the last five years. GE workers haven't won, though. The company has dumped 32,000 U.S. workers since 2004, and that's bad news for the U.S. economy. No wonder that few Americans are rooting for GE.
The Occupy Wall Street movement is a protest uniquely suited to a generation schooled in social media. There are no leaders: it's crowd-sourced. Nor does it have any specific demands beyond a thorough reorientation of American priorities. It's as if thousands and thousands of people have "unliked" Wall Street (not that they "liked" Wall Street much to begin with).
The movement is growing. Labor unions have signed on. Celebrities are flocking to Liberty Square in New York City. The Democratic Party is trying to hitch its wagon to the protests, if only to get the president's jobs bill through Congress. Protestors from overseas are joining in to give the benefit of their recent experiences. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the movement siphons off some disgruntled tea partiers whose populism has veered leftward.
Like the World Social Forums and their credo of "another world is possible," the Occupy Wall Street protests are free-form, creative, sporadically anarchic, and multi-issue. They have also taken on the character of their location. In California, protestors are focusing on the state's budget crisis. Here in Washington, DC, the protest had a strong anti-war emphasis, and one segment was involved in an anti-drone protest at the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum.
Wall Street analysts like to talk about "corrections" in market behavior. In periods of "irrational exuberance," millions of people think that the value of IT companies will rise forever or that sub-prime mortgages get traded around in an endless daisy chain of speculation. Then the market comes down from its tab of Ecstasy, and it crashes. The correction sets in.
Perhaps the same language can be applied to U.S. society as a whole. The political and economic elites indulge in their own all-night party of irrational exuberance that rewards financiers with profits and politicians with lobbying dollars. They legally steal as much as they can until the other 99 percent gets fed up and comes over to turn off the music and turn on the lights. Party over. And the system corrects itself.
Occupy Wall Street isn't calling for piecemeal reforms. It's not interested in becoming yet another correction. It doesn't have a laundry list of demands. This can be a profoundly unsettling experience for NGOs in Washington ("but what do they want?"), for politicians around the country ("why aren't they supporting our plan?"), and even for those who oppose the movement ("why can't they just demand something that we can ridicule already!").
When the tyrant resigns or goes into exile, the crowd exults. Then begins the difficult task of preventing the tyrant's cronies from seizing power. Then begins the challenge of building something new.
For many years, the progressive movement has said the system here in this country is broken. But our effort to fix the system has been seriously under-resourced, as if we were trying to repair a malfunctioning jet engine with a pair of toothpicks.
Occupy Wall Street doesn't necessarily have better tools. But it has a lot of hands and a lot of energy. And that's what we need to build something new.
October 7 was the 10th anniversary of the invasion of Afghanistan. The country is no closer to stability, even with nearly 100,000 U.S. troops still there. Suicide bombers struck near the U.S. embassy in Kabul in mid-September. Afghan authorities routinely use torture on detainees, and it's difficult to imagine that U.S. officials don't know about it. Opium production is expected to rise next year by 61 percent.
The president laid out his drawdown plan in June, but it's more like a stay-the-course approach. Even Republican presidential candidates are calling for a more rapid exit strategy for the Pentagon. In addition to the lives lost, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq cost U.S. taxpayers $11.6 billion a month.
This week also sees the launch of Open Briefing, the world's first civil society intelligence agency and a project with which FPIF is proud to partner. "Policymakers rely on access to timely and accurate information upon which to base their decisions," says Open Briefing's Chris Abbott. "In the spheres of defense and security, this information is largely secret and held back from the public domain. This leaves the process open to political manipulation and creates a public unable to engage properly with these issues or hold policymakers to account." Open Society is designed to provide the public with the tools to shape defense and security issues.
Finally, you have one last chance to attend the annual Letelier-Moffitt Human Rights Award here in Washington, DC. Join progressive legislators Tammy Baldwin and Raul Grijalva and legendary singer-songwriter Peter Yarrow in honoring the Wisconsin progressive movement and the Migrant's Shelter in Mexico. If you can't attend, consider making a donation to help defray the costs of bringing our honorees to Washington.


Jigsaw were commissioned by MHA London to design a luxurious scheme for their show home at a development on Inverness Terrace, on the Northern edge of London's Hyde Park.
We wanted to complement the stunning period features and elegant proportions in this conversion of a Regency town house into high-end duplex apartments, with a modern and chic design which would celebrate the building's historical elements in an entirely contemporary way.
The scheme was comprised of rich, rusty orange velvets, dusky, blush pinks, carrara marble and gold highlights throughout; with sumptuous textures of fur, silk and leather adding to the feeling of refined oppulence . The classical symmetry of the building is reflected in a pair of oversized mercurised mirrors placed either side of the fireplace and the elegant sofas, in a rich burnished orange velvet, which sit opposite one another in the high ceilinged living room.


I like being able to make things at home rather than paying for expensive take-out, and crab rangoons are easier to make than they look. Price wise, a take-out order for 8 is about $5 where I live. Buying all the goods at the store, you can make 20-25 for about the same cost.
Since most packages of wonton wraps have double the wraps needed, you can double the recipe or freeze the extra wraps in a tupperware. Extra filling can be frozen, also.
Start by heating your oil on low and finding a good pair of tongs or high-temp-safe slotted spoon.
Put the softened cream cheese in a bowl and beat it a little first, to make it more workable. I sometimes add about 1/2 a tablespoon of milk to speed this up. Then add all the spices and mix well.
Finely chop the surimi and the green onion. Mix those into the cream cheese also.
Filling the wraps works best if done on a cutting board or plate, as it can get a little messy.
Beat the egg yolk in a little bowl or cup, you'll use this as a "glue" to hold the wraps together.
With one of the corners pointing up, scoop about a tablespoon of filling into the center. Any more filling makes it harder to seal and fry.
Using a pastry brush or clean paintbrush, spread a small amount of the egg yolk along each edge of the wrap.
Bring the bottom corner up to meet the top corner. Seal the edges tightly, being careful not to tear the thin wrapper. The whole thing will look like a pudgy triangle. Paint a little bit of yolk on all of the corners and fold them in slightly so they don't open while frying.
Fry the rangoons on med-low heat on each side until the wraps bubble and turn golden-brown. About 3mins per side, this depends on your type of stove, etc.
Doing them in small batches works well (filling 5 at a time and then frying those), as the filling can make the wrap a little soppy if it sits too long.
Scoop them out with tongs or a high-temp-safe slotted spoon. Set them on a cooling rack over a cookie sheet lined with newspaper to catch the extra oil that drips off. This helps keep them crispy because they're not sitting in grease.
Let cool a bit, then enjoy the tasty goodness!

Q: JSON field mapping for Java model JSON which is sent:
{
  "Banner": "ABC"
}

Java model:
...
@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)
@JsonSerialize(include = JsonSerialize.Inclusion.NON_NULL)
public class BannerData implements java.io.Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 5664846645733319592L;

    @JsonProperty(value = "Banner")
    private String banner;

    public String getBanner() {
        return banner;
    }

    public void setBanner(String banner) {
        this.banner = banner;
    }
}

Controller:
@RequestMapping(value = {"/GetBanner"}, method = RequestMethod.POST)
@ResponseBody
public ResponseEntity<String> enrollCustomer(@RequestBody BannerData body, HttpServletRequest request) throws Exception {
...
}

request to /GetBanner returns:
The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect.
Works OK when json changed to (lowercase naming as is Java field name):
{
  "banner": "ABC"
}

However I need uppercase field naming in JSON.
Looks like @JsonProperty(value = "Banner") does not work.
Is it correct mapping?

A: I would suggest below; (If you are using ObjectMapper)
once you get your ObjectMapper, you can set PropertyNamingStrategy with PascalCase. this is link for documentation
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
mapper.setPropertyNamingStrategy(
    PropertyNamingStrategy.PascalCaseStrategy);

If you are not using ObjectMapper- then Annotate your BannerData class with @JsonNaming like below--
@JsonNaming(PropertyNamingStrategy.LowerCaseWithUnderscoresStrategy.class)
public class BannerData implements java.io.Serializable {

I found out @JsonNaming here in github

A: Try it on the getter
@JsonProperty(value = "Banner")
public String getBanner() {

EDIT:
Show us your Spring config file. Are you really using Jackson? See http://www.journaldev.com/2552/spring-restful-web-service-example-with-json-jackson-and-client-program
 <!-- Configure to plugin JSON as request and response in method handler -->
 <beans:bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.RequestMappingHandlerAdapter">
     <beans:property name="messageConverters">
         <beans:list>
             <beans:ref bean="jsonMessageConverter"/>
         </beans:list>
     </beans:property>
 </beans:bean>

 <!-- Configure bean to convert JSON to POJO and vice versa -->
 <beans:bean id="jsonMessageConverter" class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter">
 </beans:bean>

EDIT 2
Since you may or may not be using Jackson... try some other annotations
@XmlElement(name="Banner")
From GSON perhaps
@SerializedName("Banner")

A: Have you tried to update your jackson from 1.9.13 to 2.5.4 (it has another artifact group id - com.fasterxml.jackson )
Is this code works correctly for you?
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
BannerData bannerData = mapper.readValue("{ \"Banner\": \"ABC\"}", BannerData.class);

Works fine with me (If I replace "Banner" with "banner" - got wrong object with null "banner" field.)
Also this code can be useful:
System.out.println(mapper.getDeserializationConfig().getPropertyNamingStrategy());

Something can be wrong with property naming strategy - if you use custom one.

A: Maybe you just try to:
@JsonProperty("Banner")

without 'value ='. I used it in my project and it actually worked as expected.
UPDATE
I just created some test classes to test the bahaviour of your problem. What I have done:
import org.codehaus.jackson.annotate.JsonIgnoreProperties;

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A man and his dog were rescued on Red Bud Isle Tuesday afternoon after the man jumped in the water to save his dog, Stella.
Rescue boats already in the area for training responded to the rescue at 3:14 p.m. and were able to rescue Gregory Alton and his dog quickly, Austin-Travis County EMS said. The man was found hanging on a tree branch.
Waterway ban continues on Lake Austin, Lady Bird Lake
"Without hesitation, I just jump in and after her I'm just full on swimming," Alton said. "Next thing I know I'm just being spun in the very center of the current and swimming for my life and Stella's life, of course."
Neither the dog nor the man were injured. The Austin Parks Foundation describes the park as a popular leash-free park for dogs and their owners. Red Bud Isle is in Lady Bird Lake, just south of Tom Miller Dam.

CHANDLER, Ariz. (NEXSTAR) — We've seen hundreds of tributes to Kobe Bryant following his death but few are as exciting as a high schooler sinking a game-winning shot Tuesday as the crowd chanted "Kobe."
Video posted to Twitter by Brayden Nako shows his Basha varsity basketball team in Arizona tied with rival Perry High with just 4 seconds left on the clock. As his team is preparing to inbound the ball, you hear someone in the crowd yell "do it for Kobe!" That's followed by Kobe chants.
WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — The countdown is on for the first-ever Williamson County Fair and Rodeo.

Eziler is a village, administratively a neighborhood, in the Güney District of Denizli Province in Turkey.

In 1993, Eziler was granted municipal status and designated as a town. In 2012, Turkish law classified Eziler as a neighborhood.

Overview
Eziler is  from the district center, and  from Denizli. As of 2021, the village population is 964. The main economy of the village is animal husbandry and agriculture, particularly thyme and walnut farming. Despite being a rural village, Eziler attracts attention with the nationwide success it has achieved in a variety of sports.

Sport village
Soon after his appointment to the village's Mustafa Kaçmaz Primary and Middle School in 2016, the physical education teacher Suat Arı took the initiative with the motto "Everyone in this village is an athlete", and introduced over a dozen different sports branches which are uncommon in Turkey.

It started with bocce and darts and later came skating. A total of 120 licensed students, including 45 girls, were introduced to over a dozen different sports branches, such as bocce, darts, softball, korfball, badminton, tennis, skating, baseball, field hockey, cricket, rugby, flag football, orienteering as well as Turkish traditional archery. In 2020, the "Güney Eziler Sports Club" was founded. The girls' floor hockey team representing the village has 15 members, and is coached by Burak Duman, the village school's physical education teacher and licensed hockey trainer; as there is no gym in the village, the girls train in open air. Members of the girls' hockey team played in the province selection team at the Anatolia Girls Floor Hockey League (Anadolu Yıldızlar Hokey Ligi), and were placed fourth among ten teams. They were invited by the Turkish Hockey Federation to the Inter Provincial Republic Hockey Cup, at which they were the runner-up team. The club represents the Denizli Province in three sports branches. Two boys and one girl from the village sports club were called up to the national team camp in 2021.

Teacher Arı also holds sport tournaments between village families. Sponsored by the Hacı Ömer Sabancı Foundation and the District Municipality of Güney, a golf cup tournament was held in July 2021 using golf equipment donated by expatriate villagers working abroad. One of the golfers, aged 67, played for the first time in his life. In November 2021, a Veteran Hockey Tournament was held in the school yard with sponsorship by the Sabancı Foundation. Eighteen villagers over 35 years of age took part, including a male player aged 60 and a female player aged 71. A field hockey friendly match between the teams Denizli Anadolu Pars and Güney Ezlier followed.

Paul Andrade Fires Back at Lara: "Man Up and Take the Challenge "
March 3, 2015 by TheTitleFight Leave a Comment
Providence, RI (March 3, 2015)–The following is a response to WBA Super Welterweight champion Erislandy Lara from Paul Andrade, the father/trainer of undefeated WBO Jr. Middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade:
Dear Mr. Erislandy Lara:
In response to your comments, whoever wrote your response should get their facts correct.
When we listen to you, we see the final triumph of stupidity in this world. You are the only boxer that successfully brainwashed himself with false facts.
We were never in our life offered a fight on ESPN 2 to fight you. In fact, when I met you in that restaurant in New York, we even said that Demetrius would let his career develop and fight you for a much more meaningful amount than $15,000. When was the last time you fought for $15,000? And you agreed with me.
Now the time is here for us to get together but all you talk about is a meaningless fight in a foreign country that you won by just four points when Demetrius was just 17 and you were 21. On top of that, you know when an American goes to a foreign country his opponent always gets an extra five points. We saw it at the Pan Am Games, in the Olympics and whenever we have fought on foreign soil.
After seeing Demetrius talent level, you decided going to the Olympics would have been a failed effort and decided to turn pro.
As we all know, many times guys who have been beaten by an individual in the amateurs come back and open up a can of whoop ass when they fight as professionals.
I see you posted your long list of accomplishments, we all are fighters in development when we start but you claim we have not fought anybody and you have.
The only opponent that we have in common is Vanes Martirosyan. We have the utmost respect for him and the best you can do was pull out a draw. I guess you were happy that headbutt occurred because Vanes was on his way to knocking you out. Then comes Angulo. The moment he trapped you, he dropped you twice and again then you escaped because of a lucky thumb that swelled up Angulo's eye. How many times will luck be on your side?
Now it is time for you to man up and take the challenge. Forget the cheap talk, do you want to get it on? Yes or No? A real man and a real champion would answer yes.

Barthelemy & Martirosyan Win via Decision. Dawson Upset By Karpency
October 5, 2014 by TheTitleFight Leave a Comment
MASHANTUCKET, CONN. (Oct. 4, 2014) – Rances Barthelemy defended his IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship against Fernando David Saucedowith a dominating unanimous decision, scored 120-108 by all three judges, Saturday on SHOWTIME from Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn.
Barthelemy (21-0, 12 KOs) controlled the bout from the opening bell and was the more active and accurate fighter, throwing 819 punches to Saucedo's 382. Saucedo (52-6-3, 8, KOs) tried to counter, but he wasn't quick enough to land anything meaningful against the elusive Cuban. Barthelemy, who landed 50 percent of his power shots, employed a diverse attack of uppercuts, hooks and jabs and fought with his hands down and by his side for most of the fight.
"It was a good fight," Barthelemy said. "Saucedo is a veteran guy. In one moment, I thought I was going to knock him out, but he knows how to make the fight last.
"I want Mikey Garcia. They say he's the best. I say I'm the best. Let's settle it."
Saucedo didn't win a single round and was outclassed in his United States debut.
"I did everything I could," Saucedo said. "We gave it our all but he is just a stronger and bigger guy. He's a very good fighter, but he's too big for this weight division."
Vanes Martirosyan won a hard-fought unanimous decision over previously once-beaten Willie Nelson in a matchup of two top 10 ranked junior middleweights, scored 97-93 twice, 96-94.
Martirosyan promised to win this fight for his promoter, the recently deceased Dan Goossen, and he delivered. The contender was able to get inside the lengthy Nelson, where he did the majority of his damage with powerful right hooks.
The pace picked up in the second half of the fight, with Martirosyan cleanly landing right shots and backing up Nelson. In the latter rounds, Martirosyan consistently threw wide shots around Nelson's guard and opened up a cut under his eye in the eighth. Martirosyan's power shots were the difference, with the Armenian landing 42 percent compared to Nelson's 32 percent.
"We had to turn this into a fight," Martirosyan said. "He is tall, he has long arms and it's hard to fight a guy like that. Around the seventh or the eighth I thought about [Diego] Corrales vs. [Jose Luis] Castillo and going to war. I knew we needed to dig deep to win this fight and that's what we did.."
"It's been a hard week for us. Around round eight, I thought about Dan and he made me fight hard. This was for Dan. I know he was watching me and this is for him. We love him and we miss him."
Martirosyan's trainer and Dan's brother, Joe, agreed: "He asked us to win this fight and we honored that request as best as we could."
Nelson, who was more accurate that Martirosyan with his jabs, disagreed with the judges' scorecards.
"I thought I won, but the judges saw otherwise," Nelson said. "I can't complain. Vanes has some nice pop and hand speed. He's nothing special, but I felt he fought me differently than he has past opponents. I just need to keep fighting and keep moving forward and we'll see what happens.
"It was a good, tough fight. What else would you expect from two guys in the top 10 in the division? Of course I'd like another shot at him."
In the opening bout of the telecast, underdog Tommy Karpency upset former light heavyweight world champion with a split decision victory, scored 96-94 Dawson, 96-94 Karpency, 96-94 Karpency.
Karpency (24-4-1, 14 KOs), who took the fight on short notice, was supposed to be a tune-up for Dawson (32-4, 18 KOs) as he climbed back from two tough consecutive losses to Andre Ward and Adonis Stevenson. But Karpency fought with confidence and controlled the pace of the fight, which was contested almost entirely in the center of the ring.
"I just came here to win, I had nothing to lose," Karpency said. "I know I did enough to win and thankfully the judges got it right. I know it was close but I won hands down. I came here on short notice and I had to pace myself and make my punches count. I buzzed him a few times but couldn't get him down. He was running. He thought he had the fight won.
"I believe that I belong in the top 10 in the light heavyweight division. I want to fight the best. I just beat a two-time former champ and I'm ready to fight the best."
Dawson didn't throw any meaningful punches with his left hand in the second half of the fight and told to SHOWTIME announcer Steve Farhood that he hurt his left shoulder in the third round.
"I hurt my shoulder in the third round," Dawson said. "I landed more jabs than he landed punches. That's [expletive]. They must want me out of the game. That's crazy. I fought with one arm since the third round. Come on, man"

Rances Barthelemy Finalizes Preparations Ahead of Oct. 4th on Showtime
September 29, 2014 by TheTitleFight Leave a Comment
LAS VEGAS) September 29, 2014 – With days to go until his first defense of his IBF Super Featherweight world title, Champion Rances "Kid Blast" Barthelemy (20-0, 12 KOs) wraps up his final day of training camp with an intense day of sparring. Barthelemy will face challenger Fernando David Saucedo (52-2, 8 KOs) in a 12-round bout at the Foxwoods Resort in Mashantucket, Connecticut. The fight will be televised live on SHOWTIME (9 p.m. ET/PT) as the main-event on Oct, 4, 2014.
"This is the best camp I've had since turning professional," said Barthelemy. "My weight is good and I'm going to be well prepared for anything Saucedo brings. We did some things different in this camp as we added some old techniques from the Cuban School of boxing. I'm ready to show the world I'm the best Super Featherweight in the world. I want to thank Al Haymon and my entire team for all their support. I'm ready to show the world I'm the best Super Featherweight in the world."

There's something about a yoga studio that encourages a community, whether you're a first-timer, casual yogi, or full-blown master. And, I have to be honest that, despite my fitness fervor, I'm no master—I still don't breathe like a lion, have never said an "Om" in my life, and I view savasana as more of a physical re-set than a mental one. But, I'm happy to report I since that first class in that studio in May, five years ago, I've since moved out of that dark back corner. And, whether bleary eyed or full of energy when I first make my way into the warmth of the room, I'm a better person when I leave it.

Q: Prove that $a_{n}$ converges for $a_{1} \ge 2$ and $a_{n+1} = 1+ \sqrt{a_{n}-1}$ and find its limit Prove that $a_{n}$ converges for $a_{1} \ge 2$ and $a_{n+1} = 1+ \sqrt{a_{n}-1}$ and find it's limit. First of all, what i did is to find the first four terms of the sequence.
$a_{2} = 1+ \sqrt{a_{1}-1} \ge 2$
$a_{3} = 1+ \sqrt{a_{2}-1} = 1+ \sqrt{\sqrt{a_{1}-1}} \ge 2$
$a_{4} = 1+ \sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{a_{1}-1}}} \ge 2$
Then I assume $a_{n} \ge 2 $ Witch means that $a_{n}$ it's lower bounded. I need to prove that it is a decreasing sequence and then $a_{n}$ would converge.
$$\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_{n}} = \frac{1+\sqrt{a_{n}-1}}{a_{n}} \le1$$ but i don't know how to prove that.  The limit, I don't know how to find it.
Thanks in advance.

A: Hint
Set $b_n=a_n-1$ ($b_1\ge 1$), then we have:
$$b_{n+1}=\sqrt{b_n}.$$
Also see that, $$b_2=b_1^{1/2}$$ $$b_3=b_2^{1/2}=b_1^{1/4}$$ $$b_4=b_3^{1/2}=b_1^{1/8}$$ $$...$$
can you finish?

A:
Then I assume $a_n\ge 2$

Note that you would have to prove that as well. Just because the first four terms are $\ge 2$, doesn't mean that you can conclude that for all $n$. However, induction should easily help you out there.
If you assume $a_n \ge 2$, then you get
$$a_{n+1} = 1 + \sqrt{\color{blue}{a_n} - 1} \ge 1 + \sqrt{\color{blue}{2} - 1} = 2.$$
Now, since $a_1 \ge 2$, induction tells you that $a_n \ge 2$ for all $n$.

Now, showing that $a_n$ is decreasing is easy because we have
$$a_n - 1 \ge 1$$
and thus,
$$a_n - 1 \ge \sqrt{a_n - 1}.$$
Rearranging the above gives us that
$$a_n \ge 1 + \sqrt{a_n - 1} \ge a_{n+1}.$$
This finishes the proof the way you intended it.

Note that the other answer gives a simpler alternative by considering $b_n = a_n - 1$.

Once you know that the sequence converges, you can find the limit as following:
$$a_{n+1} = 1 + \sqrt{a_n - 1} \implies \lim_{n\to\infty}a_{n+1} = \lim_{n\to\infty}1 + \sqrt{a_n - 1}.$$
If $\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}a_n = A$, then $\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}a_{n+1} = A$ as well.
Moreover, $\sqrt{.}$ is continuous and thus, you may "take the limit inside". Thus, the above equation tells you
$$A = 1 + \sqrt{A - 1}$$
or $$A - 1 = \sqrt{A - 1}.$$
Squaring the above and solving it gives two solutions: $A = 1, 2$.
However, note that $a_n \ge 2$ for all $n$ and thus, $A \ge 2$ as well. With this, you can conclude that
$$\lim_{n\to\infty}a_n = \boxed{2}.$$

A: Let prove it is decreasing
$$a_{n+1}-a_n=$$
$$1+\sqrt{a_n-1}-a_n=$$
$$\sqrt{a_n-1}(1-\sqrt{a_n-1})$$
but
$$a_n\ge 2\implies \sqrt{a_n-1}\ge 1$$
$$\implies 1-\sqrt{a_n-1}\le 0$$
$$\implies a_{n+1}-a_n\le 0$$
thus $ (a_n) $ is decreasing and bounded below, so it converges to $ L $ satisfying
$$L=1+\sqrt{L-1}\implies L\in\{1,2\}$$
$$\implies L=2$$

Volker Krohn is an accomplished psychotherapist and the director of the Hoffman Centre Australia/Singapore since 1991. He was personally trained by Robert Hoffman in the late 1980s and is a senior supervising facilitator of the Process.
"I did the Hoffman Process in 1989 and had the privilege to have Bob Hoffman as my facilitator. The Hoffman Process helped me to become aware of self defeating behavioral patterns I had learned during my childhood, that had set me up to avoid honoring the authority of my own 'knowing' and being able to live my creativity and passion. I experienced a fundamental shift in my sense of Self. Before the Process, I used to constantly doubt my intuition and worry about outcomes – after the Process I found the ability to trust myself to be able to handle anything that came to meet me in life – the 'good' as well as the 'bad'."
Volker's extensive professional background includes Family Therapy, Self-Psychology, and Creative Arts Therapy as well as organisational development. He also speaks and writes widely on emotional healing, re-education and spiritual renewal, through the exploration of early childhood conditioning.
Volker is passionate about helping people to improve their emotional and spiritual intelligence and has inspired thousands of Hoffman graduates in Australia and worldwide to live from a place of self-acceptance and gratitude claiming compassionate leadership in their life.

In 1990, Amanda started training as a Hoffman Facilitator with founder Bob Hoffman and during the last 30+ years of working professionally with groups and individuals, has uncovered the gift of being able to bring out the best in people.

Amanda has led groups for women 'Meeting the Muse', to inspire their creative potential as a means to creating a life of love, joy and realization. She was instrumental in developing the award winning community education program 'Living Well Mentors' in Logan Qld. Local women were inspired to take responsibility for their lives through her well researched and specifically designed Lifestyle Challenge. Over 30 of the women who attended the programs were then trained to take up leadership roles and offer their gifts to others in the community like – singing, art, flower arranging, massage, cooking, community services, movement and dance. Many of these programs are still in existence today.
Amanda has also trained with Robert Fritz Inc in USA in 'Creating Results', Corporate Coaching, Motivational Interviewing, Health Coaching, Voice Dialogue Therapy and is a certified Svaroopa® Yoga Instructor and Embodyment® Yoga Therapist.

PH, China cooperation against illegal online gambling a must – Locsin

PASAY CITY, Philippines – Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. believes there must be an established cooperation between the Philippines and China against illegal online gambling.
On Wednesday (November 28), Locsin said such a measure will prevent misunderstanding between the two countries on matters concerning their respective migrant workers living and working in both of their soils.
Locsin's suggestion comes after calls from senators who were pushing the government to launch a crackdown against Chinese foreign workers.
Most of the Chinese migrant workers in the Philippines are into the online gaming industry.
"But far from endangering or anyway affecting our relations with China, apparently we are going to do two things. One, online gambling is illegal where gonna stop it out with the help and not against the objection of China," Locsin said.
Locsin said it is likely that the countries would join hands and help each other in addressing the issue.
"Two law enforcement agencies will be able to coordinate without it looking as we had surrendered our sovereignty," the Foreign Affairs secretary said.
During Wednesday's deliberation of Locsin's confirmation, senators expressed concern that Filipino workers will end up competing with illegal aliens seeking for employment opportunities in the country.
This, according to Senator Risa Hontiveros, is a 'direct assault' on our sovereignty and economy.
For his part, Senate President Vicente Sotto III reminds the government to be careful in mentioning the number of alleged illegal Chinese workers in the country as it would bring a negative effect on Filipino workers in China.
'Iyong undocumented na nahuli is not less than 1,000. We must remember that there are over 200,000 Filipinos in Hong Kong that are undocumented," Sotto said.
The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) will be forming a special task force to check on the operations of Philippine Offshore Gaming operators (POGO) in the country.
Majority of Chinese workers with valid working permits are linked to POGO industry. – Marje Pelayo (with reports from Nel Maribojoc)

Beijing – The death toll from the new coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China, has increased to nine with 440 confirmed cases, the country's National Health Commission reported Wednesday.
At midnight local time on Tuesday (16.00 GMT), 13 provinces had confirmed the 440 cases of infection, and the nine deaths were all located in Hubei province, of which Wuhan is the capital, NHC vice-minister Li Bin said Wednesday at a press conference in Beijing.
This hikes the casualty figures by three deaths and 149 people infected since the last report published on Tuesday.
The city of Wuhan has a population of 11 million people and is the epicenter of the outbreak of the new type of coronavirus (2019-nCov). It causes what is known as "Wuhan pneumonia" which, authorities said on Monday, can be spread through human contact.
Li said there is a possibility that the virus — the transmission route of which is yet to be completely traced — could mutate and that the epidemic could spread, but that no "super transmitter" with the capacity to infect many people from a single case has been detected.
He expressed concern about the spread of infection that could occur throughout Chinese New Year, the holiday period that officially begins Friday and constitutes the largest human migration on the planet, with tens of millions of Chinese returning to their hometowns.
He said: "During Chinese New Year, the surge [in people moving around the country] increases the risk of the epidemic's spread and the difficulty of prevention and control. We must not take it lightly,"
However, Li said that the response of health services to the disease has managed to keep "fatalities and cases at a minimal level."
"We have confidence we will defeat this disease," the official concluded.
Meanwhile, Taiwan's president Tsai-Ing Wen called on China to make fully transparent all its information on the virus to help other countries take proper measures to prevent its spread.
Taiwan has reported one confirmed case of the virus — a Taiwanese woman returning to the island from a business trip to Wuhan.
The patient reportedly felt ill for days before her trip home but wore a face mask on the return flight. She was quarantined on arrival and hospitalized.
Tsai said the woman was in a stable condition.
Taiwanese medical personnel are working with airline companies to detect potential cases of fever on board planes, a symptom of the SARS-like Wuhan virus along with difficulty breathing.
The World Health Organization has scheduled a Wednesday meeting to determine whether the current outbreak of coronavirus in China constitutes an international emergency.
Japan and South Korea have also reported one case each, while two others had already been confirmed in Thailand with another two announced Wednesday.
The United States announced its first case Tuesday, with the affected person hospitalized last week after experiencing symptoms of pneumonia and, according to US authorities, is in a stable condition after having recently traveled to Wuhan, the country's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.
The patient returned from China on Jan. 15, two days before US authorities ordered all travelers entering from Wuhan to be monitored for viral illness at the airports in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. EFE-EPA

Death toll in China climbs to 9 as Wuhan Coronavirus reaches the US

The United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed on Wednesday (January 22) the first case of the mysterious strain of coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, China.
Reports said a Washington statesman in his 30s contracted the disease when he traveled to Wuhan to visit his relatives last week.
He arrived in the US on January 15, two days before Federal officials ordered the screening of travelers from China arriving in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York's John F. Kennedy international airport.
The man is now in stable condition but is still under observation.
The CDC has created a new system of testing the virus and is coordinating with National Institutes of Health in the country to develop a vaccine against it.
Meanwhile, Chinese health authorities confirmed a positive case of human to human transmission of the virus discovered in Wuhan after a doctor who was involved in the investigation on the outbreak of the virus contracted the disease.
So far, the death toll from the viral infection has already reached nine, while more than 400 individuals across China have tested positive of Wuhan coronavirus.
The virus has already reached the capital city of Beijing and Shanghai as well as other Asian countries namely Thailand, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. MNP (with details from Aaron Romero)

PH Gov't urged to take precautionary measures vs threat of new coronavirus strain

MANILA, Philippines – Several lawmakers on Wednesday urged the Philippine government to take precautionary measures and prepare emergency response plans amid the threat of a new strain of coronavirus from China.
In a statement, Senator Sherwin Gatchalian called on the Department of Education (DepEd) to put schools on alert and ensure that preventive steps are in place to protect students from the respiratory disease that has already infected 222 individuals across neighboring countries of China, Japan, South Korea, and Thailand.
"Sa ating pangambang makapasok itong bagong coronavirus sa ating bansa, mabuti nang maging sigurado tayo dahil ang isang kumpirmadong kaso ay maaaring maikalat sa iba," Gatchalian said.
He made the appeal after the Department of Health (DOH) reported Tuesday it is closely monitoring a child who may have contracted novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) prior to entering the Philippines from Wuhan, China.
The DOH said the child manifested symptoms such as cough, throat irritation, and fever. He is currently stable but still has a cough.
Based on samples examined by the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM), the unnamed child tested negative for Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Both diseases are caused by a family of viruses called coronavirus.
But he tested positive for a non-specific pancoronavirus assay, meaning he is infected with a strain of coronavirus. The sample has been sent to a laboratory in Australia for further testing.
The new strain of coronavirus was first detected in Wuhan City on December 31, 2019.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said novel coronavirus causes respiratory infections which may develop into severe cases such as pneumonia, acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and death if left untreated.
Coronavirus, which is a large group of viruses common among animals, may be transmitted to humans through contact with an infected person or animal.
Gatchalian, who chairs the Senate committee on basic education, arts, and culture also said that schools should have protocols in identifying students displaying flu-like symptoms and emphasize the practice of good hygiene, such as frequent hand-washing, to avoid any diseases.
Senator Nancy Binay, meanwhile, called on the DOH and other government agencies to prepare for an emergency response plan in dealing with the respiratory illness from China.
Binay said she filed Senate Resolution 293 which aims to determine appropriate measures and necessary funding requirements to ensure quick government response to address possible outbreaks.
"Preemptive measures will always the better option. Kailangan natin paghandaan na dahil actionable ang impormasyong hawak ng DOH. We must act immediately to monitor reports of the disease or sightings, and abate the possibility of an outbreak," she said in a statement.
"Mabuting maging handa, hindi lamang ang DOH at ang pambansang pamahalaan, kundi pati na rin ang mga local na pamahalaan hanggang sa lebel ng barangay," she added.
The DOH earlier advised the public to always practice frequent handwashing, avoid crowded places and contact with an infected person, and to thoroughly cook food, especially those containing meat and dairy products.

HOME CURRENT ISSUE Politics Onna voters pick new mayor over incumbent
Onna voters pick new mayor over incumbent
A challenger won the mayoral election in Onna Village, Sunday.
In the Onna Village mayoral election, the incumbent, 67-year-old Fumiyasu Shikiya was seeking the fourth term in the office and was facing 49-year-old Yoshimi Nagahama, a former Onna Village Assembly member. When the ballot count was finished, Nagahama had won with a wide margin of 1,005 votes getting 3,259 votes against Shikiya's 2,254.
In his victorious campaign, Nagahama stressed the need for a generational change in the village administration that he said is necessary for successful development of human resources, and introduction of a tourism association to Onna. Regarding the issue of U.S. military bases, Nagahama expressed his support for the stance of the new Okinawa Governor Takeshi Onaga.
Most of voters obviously agreed. Of the 8, 186 eligible voters, 67.9 percent went to ballots, which is 2 percentage points less than in the previous election.
Nagahama was born in Nakadomari, Onna, in July, 1965, and graduated from the University of the Ryukyus. He was elected in the Onna Village Assembly in 2006 and served two terms through 2014.
