Cause I'm the Greatest! – Story about Muhammad Ali
By Nightlight
/ in Interesting News,Interesting Things
/ tags Interesting News
Boxer, philanthropist and social activist Muhammad Ali was born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. on January 17, 1942, in Louisville, Kentucky. Ali showed at an early age that he wasn't afraid of any bout—inside or outside of the ring. Growing up in the segregated South, he experienced racial prejudice and discrimination firsthand.
At the age of 12, Ali discovered his talent for boxing through an odd twist of fate. His bike was stolen, and Ali told a police officer, Joe Martin, that he wanted to beat up the thief. "Well, you better learn how to fight before you start challenging people," Martin reportedly told him at the time. In addition to being a police officer, Martin also trained young boxers at a local gym.
Ali started working with Martin to learn how to spar, and soon began his boxing career. In his first amateur bout in 1954, he won the fight by split decision. Ali went on to win the 1956 Golden Gloves tournament for novices in the light heavyweight class. Three years later, he won the National Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions, as well as the Amateur Athletic Union's national title for the light heavyweight division.
Olympic Gold
In 1960, Ali won a spot on the U.S. Olympic boxing team, and traveled to Rome, Italy, to compete. At 6′ 3″, Ali was an imposing figure in the ring, but he also became known for his lightning speed and fancy footwork. After winning his first three bouts, Ali defeated Zbigniew Pietrzkowski from Poland to win the light heavyweight gold medal.
After his Olympic victory, Ali was heralded as an American hero. He soon turned professional with the backing of the Louisville Sponsoring Group, and continued overwhelming all opponents in the ring. Ali took out British heavyweight champion Henry Cooper in 1963, and then knocked out Sonny Liston in 1964 to become the heavyweight champion of the world.
Often referring to himself as "the greatest," Muhammad Ali was not afraid to sing his own praises. He was known for boasting about his skills before a fight and for his colorful descriptions and phrases. In one of his more famously quoted descriptions, Ali told reporters that he could "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" in the boxing ring.
Conversion to Islam and Suspension
This bold public persona belied what was happening in Ali's personal life, however. He was doing some spiritual searching and decided to join the black Muslim group the Nation of Islam in 1964. At first he called himself "Cassius X" before settling on the name Muhammad Ali. (The boxer eventually converted to orthodox Islam during the 1970s.)
Muhammad Ali later started a different kind of fight with his outspoken views against the Vietnam War. Drafted into the military in April 1967, he refused to serve on the grounds that he was a practicing Muslim minister with religious beliefs that prevented him from fighting. He was arrested for committing a felony and almost immediately stripped of his world title and boxing license.
The U.S. Department of Justice pursued a legal case against Ali, denying his claim for conscientious objector status. He was found guilty of violating Selective Service laws and sentenced to five years in prison in June 1967, but remained free while appealing his conviction. Unable to compete professionally in the meantime, Muhammad Ali missed more than three prime years of his athletic career. The U.S. Supreme Court eventually overturned the conviction in June 1971.
Boxing Comeback
Prior to the Supreme Court's decision, Ali returned to the ring in 1970 with a win over Jerry Quarry. The following year, Ali took on Joe Frazier in what has been called the "Fight of the Century." Frazier and Ali went toe-to-toe for 14 rounds before Frazier dropped Ali with a vicious left hook in the 15th. Ali recovered quickly, but the judges awarded the decision to Frazier, handing Ali his first professional loss after 31 wins. Ali soon suffered a second loss, to Ken Norton, but he beat Frazier in a 1974 rematch.
Another legendary Ali fight, against undefeated heavyweight champion George Foreman, took place in 1974. Billed as the "Rumble in the Jungle," the bout was organized by promoter Don King and held in Kinshasa, Zaire. For once, Ali was seen as the underdog to the younger, massive Foreman, but he silenced his critics with a masterful performance. He baited Foreman into throwing wild punches with his "rope-a-dope" technique, before stunning his opponent with an eighth-round knockout to reclaim the heavyweight title.
Ali and Frazier locked horns for their grudge match in Quezon City, Philippines, in 1975. Dubbed the "Thrilla in Manila," the bout nearly went the distance, with both men delivering and absorbing tremendous punishment. However, Frazier's trainer threw in the towel after the 14th round, giving the hard-fought victory to Ali.
After losing his title to Leon Spinks in February 1978, Ali defeated him in a September rematch, becoming the first boxer to win the heavyweight championship three times. Following a brief retirement, he returned to the ring to face Larry Holmes in 1980, but was overmatched against the younger champion. Following one final loss in 1981, to Trevor Berbick, the boxing great retired from the sport.
Philanthropy and Diagnosis of Parkinson's
In his retirement, Ali devoted much of his time to philanthropy. He announced that he had Parkinson's disease in 1984, a degenerative neurological condition, and was involved in raising funds for the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center in Phoenix, Arizona. Over the years, Ali also supported the Special Olympics and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, among other organizations.
Ali traveled to numerous countries, including Mexico and Morocco, to help out those in need. In 1998, he was chosen to be a United Nations Messenger of Peace because of his work in developing nations.
In 2005, Ali received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President George W. Bush. He also opened the Muhammad Ali Center in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, that same year. "I am an ordinary man who worked hard to develop the talent I was given," he said. "Many fans wanted to build a museum to acknowledge my achievements. I wanted more than a building to house my memorabilia. I wanted a place that would inspire people to be the best that they could be at whatever they chose to do, and to encourage them to be respectful of one another."
Despite the progression of his disease, Muhammad Ali remained active in public life. He was on hand to celebrate the inauguration of the first African-American president in January 2009, when Barack Obama was sworn into office. Soon after the inauguration, Ali received the President's Award from the NAACP for his public service efforts.
Death and Legacy
Things began taking a turn for the worse within a few years. In early 2015, Ali was hospitalized for a severe urinary tract infection after having battled pneumonia. He was hospitalized again in early June 2016 for what was reportedly a respiratory issue. The revered athlete passed away on the evening of June 3, 2016, at a Phoenix, Arizona facility.
Muhammad Ali was survived by his fourth wife, Yolanda, whom he had been married to since 1986. The couple had one son, Asaad, and Ali had several children from previous relationships, including daughter Laila Ali, who followed in his footsteps by becoming a champion boxer.
Universally regarded as one of the greatest boxers in history, Ali's stature as a legend continued to grow even as his physical state diminished. He continues to be celebrated not only for his remarkable athletic skills but for his willingness to speak his mind and his courage to challenge the status quo.
As widely known for his quick skills and moves inside the ring, Muhammad Ali was also known for the dozens of inspiring, sometimes hilarious quotes he said throughout his life:
'Float like a butterfly, Sting like a bee, your hands can't hit, what your eyes can't see.' – Prior to his fight against Foreman in 1974.
'If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it – then I can achieve it.'
'I'm not the greatest; I'm the double greatest. Not only do I knock 'em out, I pick the round.'
'It's hard to be humble, when you're as great as I am.'
'To make America the greatest is my goal, so I beat the Russian and I beat the Pole. And for the USA won the medal of gold. The Greeks said you're better than the Cassius of old.' – He said this quote after he won the Olympic light-heavyweight gold medal at the 1960 Games in Rome.
'It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.'
'Live every day like it's your last because someday you're going to be right.'
'A man who views the world the same at 50 as he did at 20 has wasted thirty years of his life.'
'I am so fast that last night I turned off the light switch and was in bed before the room was dark.'
'Boxing is a lot of white men watching two black men beating each other up.'
'Cassius Clay is a slave name. I didn't choose it, and I didn't want it. I am Muhammad Ali, a free name, and I insist people using it when speaking to me and of me.'
'It will be a killer and a chiller and a thriller when I get the gorilla in Manila.' – Ali said this before the historic and legendary 'Thrilla in Manila' match against Joe Frazier in 1975.
'I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'
'Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.'
'There are no pleasures in a fight, but some of my fights have been a pleasure to win.'
'I am the greatest, I'm the greatest that ever lived. I don't have a mark on my face.' – Ali said this after he beat competitor Sonny Liston in 1964.
'Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.'
'Don't count the days; make the days count.'
'It's not bragging if you can back it up.'
'Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them: a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.' – Ali said this prior to a fight against George Foreman in 1974.
'At home I am a nice guy: but I don't want the world to know. Humble people, I've found, don't get very far.'
'If you even dream of beating me, you better wake up and apologize.'
'My way of joking is to tell the truth. That's the funniest joke in the world.'
'I am America. I am the part you won't recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident, cocky, my name not yours. My religion, not yours; my goals, my own; get used to me.' – Ali said this in 1970 when he was convicted of draft evasion.
'The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses—behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.'
'He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.'
'It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.'

Live life as if everything is rigged in your favour" – RUMI
There are so many questions that arise when you are on the brink of a relationship breakdown, and
Barbara Bryan has asked herself all of them in the past. This is how the divorced single mother-of-two had the practical experience and first-hand knowledge to be able to build Australia's largest single parent network – Single Parent Australia.
It was a seven-year labour of love that has resulted in tens of thousands of visits to her major website www.singlemum.com.au every month and thousands more to the associated websites that offer everything from an interactive forum through to a national directory resource for families seeking specialist family court lawyers.
Barbara says the platform, which she founded in 2009, provides Australian single parents with the information, friendship and support they need at one of the most challenging and fulfilling times of their lives.
With everything from child custody, child support payments, obtaining single parent benefits, child care and combating isolation and loneliness covered on singlemum.com.au, Barbara has created a one-stop hub for single mums to access what they need, when they need it, as well as offering access to a supportive single mum community to boost confidence and connect with women going through the same process.
But this is just one of the websites Barbara has created in her thriving community. She also runs Single Parent Australia, Single Mother Forum, Divorce and Family Lawyers and her passion project Let's Go Mum.
The latter was recently announced the winner of the Travel Blogs Award for the second year running and was also awarded a place in the 2017 Australia's Top 50 Influencer Awards.
Barbara is an intrepid traveler, having visited more than 30 countries, and has blogged about the adventures shared with her "gorgeously adventurous little girls" Samantha, 10, and Brooke, 12 on Let's Go Mum.
"Together, the kids and I love to explore Australia and the world. Both children are home schooled, which often gives us the luxury of taking their school work with them and travelling outside of standard school holidays. So any chance we get, I give in to the kids' chorus of 'Let's go Mum!', and off we go – blogging it all the way," she says.
"You can count on us to let you know if our latest flight, kid attraction, product or holiday destination really was family-friendly and fun. Join us as we boldly go wherever the family fun is."
Barbara is testament to the fact that life after divorce is a whole new world, but if you embrace it and live life to the fullest, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

Each Instant Answer is a set of code that runs alongside DuckDuckGo's search engine. This includes both code that runs on DuckDuckGo's back end, and code that runs on DuckDuckGo's front end.
Exactly what happens at steps (2) and (3) depends on the type of Instant Answer. There are two types of Instant Answers you can develop: Goodies, and Spice.
You can see a walkthrough of how to build the Greatest Common Factors Goodie.
GreatestCommonFactor.pm A Perl file that specifies the query triggers and calculate the answer. Perl files are placed in the zeroclickinfo-goodies/lib/DDG/Goodie directory.
There is no need for frontend files because the display is simple enough to set our frontend properties in the back end Perl.
To easily generate these files, name them correctly, and locate them in the right folders, you can use the duckpan new command line tool. More details can be found in the walkthroughs, as well as the DuckPAN reference.
BPMToMs.pm A Perl file that specifies the query triggers and calculate the answer. Perl files are placed in the zeroclickinfo-goodies/lib/DDG/Goodie directory.
BPMToMs.t A test file; it asserts that specific search queries will trigger (or not trigger) this Instant Answer, and what responses to expect Test files are placed in the zeroclickinfo-goodies/t directory.
To easily generate these files, name them correctly, and locate them in the right folders, you can use the duckpan new command line tool and the all preset file template. More details can be found in the DuckPAN reference.
You can learn more about how to customize the display of your Goodie results.
All Cheat Sheets fall under a single Goodie: The Cheat Sheets Goodie. Each new cheat sheet simply adds a JSON file to the share/goodie/cheat_sheets/json/ subdirectory.
Get started with Cheat Sheets with a cheat sheet walkthrough. For more information about how Cheat Sheets work, check out the Cheat Sheets Reference.
You can see a walkthrough of how to build the Hacker News Spice.
As you can see, a Spice Instant Answer has most of the action taking place on the front end. The back end mainly decides when to trigger, and constructs the API call. The front end actually calls the API, processes the results, and displays them to the user.
Interesting side note: To protect users' privacy, the AJAX call is passed through a DuckDuckGo proxy server. That way, users' browsers never speaks to the third party directly.
HackerNews.pm Specifies the query triggers and Hacker News API call. Perl files are placed in the zeroclickinfo-spice/lib/DDG/Spice directory.
HackerNews.t A test file; it asserts that specific search queries will trigger (or not trigger) this Instant Answer. Test files are placed in the zeroclickinfo-spice/t directory.
hacker_news.js When the IA is triggered, this file runs on the search results page. It processes the response from the Hacker News API and specifies how to display it. Front end files are placed in the zeroclickinfo-spice/share/spice/hacker_news/ directory.
To easily generate these files, name them correctly, and locate them in the right folders, you can use the duckpan new command line tool and the all preset file template. More details can be found in the walkthroughs, as well as the DuckPAN reference.
And that's how Spices work! Check out the walkthrough of how to build the Hacker News Spice to get into the details of each file.
You may look at these files and wonder how are they tied together? Why do back end files have 'CamelCase' naming, and front end files are lowercased? How do they know they are connected to one another?
Don't worry about getting this right. By making use of the duckpan new command used in the walkthroughs, the naming boilerplate is automatically generated for you.
Now that you know the big picture, start hacking with a walkthrough!

A law degree means nothing without a Diploma from Kenya School of Law (KSL). Four years of campus and it's terrible. So you go to KSL do the time, bar exams and then comes the Pupillage bit for six months.
So after the six months, I got lucky got another job in law firm still. I thought it would get better, my salary 10k per month. Better? No, my parents could no longer afford my rent. It was time to grow up. I would do 'side hustles' but how much money can you make doing that when you are busy 8-5 Monday to Friday battling depression?
I never took supper, the only food I ever ate was the lunch that I was given in the office. I contemplated suicide a couple of times. I mean here I am with a prestigious law degree and all I have to show for it is Kshs 10,000 pm. To make matters worse bar exam results came out and I had failed three papers. That would mean Kshs 15,000 per paper for a remark or Kshs 10,000 per paper for a resit. I did not have that kind of money. The stress and depression hit me hard. I would get home from work and cry myself to sleep every night.
Could it get any worse? Yes! I did eventually get the money and did the papers but my employer decided to deduct my meager 10k salary for the weeks I was out doing my exams to 5k.
Did it get any better? No. One of the advocates quit, and I took over all the workload. You would expect your employer to be at least grateful for all the work you are doing. My raise, to 30k. And it yes it got worse with the deducting of my salary without notice time and time again.
It was at this point that I realized I would probably kill myself if I went on like this. Getting out of the depression was the first thing I did. It was not easy. One day you are good and the next you fold back into your cocoon. But I was determined.
I did finally quit my job. I could not go on like that.
There is more to life than working an 8-5 job. Spending 5 or 6 years getting a degree is not an excuse not to do something else that you are passionate about or even just doing something else.

A former Congressman from Massachusetts is among the 100 applicants vying for dispensary licenses in the state, underscoring the industry's growing mainstream appeal.
Bill Delahunt, who represented Massachusetts' 10th congressional district from 1997 to 2011 and now runs a government relations firm, is behind bids for medical cannabis dispensary permits in the cities of Mashpee, Plymouth and Taunton.
Delahunt is listed as the head of Medical Marijuana of Massachusetts Inc. in the applications.
The involvement of a former Congressman in a medical marijuana company is significant, even if he doesn't actually win any licenses, as it helps change the perception of the industry. It also could convince more professionals and former politicians to get involved, helping to make cannabis mainstream.
Delahunt reportedly hitched his wagon to MMJ because he feels marijuana is a safer alternative for pain relief than legal drugs like OxyContin.
Massachusetts is currently vetting applications for up to 35 dispensary permits. Last week, the state announced that 100 companies submitted applications to move to the final round of the process. You can see the entire list of applicants – including the intended location of the dispensaries – here.
Of the remaining applicants, 17 propose opening a dispensary in Middlesex County, followed by Worcester (14) and then Norfolk (10).
No more than five dispensary licenses will be awarded per county.
This seems like a completely WQRONG thing!, as soon as a congressional person gets wind of cash, they swoop in like vultures and OVERUSE their contacts, how does a person get THREE licenses, when normal folks who have been in this industry for years are either getting booted or maybe a slight chance at getting one …but THREE!!! FOUL!!! thats not right, its not fair and it underscores the exact sentiments from the people who BUILT this industry getting pushed out, because they don't have the connections like a politico has, totally the WRONG approach, no matter how generic a statement the congressman can make (who would want to replace heavy narcotics for long term use DUH???) what a generic blanket statement…HE SMELLS MONEY and thats his motivation.It's hard enough to manage and work a successful dispensary and collective, much less THREE and with No experience except how to snake money from the taxpayer as a congressional goon…FOUL BALL!!! this is exactly the stuff that needs to be stopped and replaced by a fair system, not this cronyism and a continuation of a horrific congress and ALL the members entitlement actions, Horribly wrong!!!


BASSETERRE,ST. KITTS, FEBRUARY 24TH 2012 (CUOPM) – Although the performance of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU) economies over the past year has seen an easing in economic contraction, the fact remains that these economies have remained in recession over the last three (3) years.
This has been disclosed by Governor of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) Sir K. Dwight Venner, who disclosed that economic activity contracted by 5.7 and 2.2 percent in 2009 and 2010 respectively, followed by a decline of 0.6 percent in 2011.
"Clearly, unemployment rates and poverty levels would have been negatively affected. The tourism sector performed slightly better than in the previous year with growth of 4.6 percent being recorded but still remaining below pre-crisis levels. Construction activity remained low, contracting by 5.6percent, as public sector capital projects and private sector activity slowed. Output in the banana industry was severely impacted by unfavourable weather conditions which resulted in a fall of 76.6 percent in banana receipts in 2011,"said Sir Dwight.
He said that the performance of the manufacturing sector was also poor with a 1.0 percent contraction in growth being recorded.
"Financial sector developments were also challenging and in the banking sector, the ECCB, on the directives of the Monetary Council, intervened in the ABI Bank which was experiencing a severe liquidity situation. In the insurance sector the issue of the CLICO and BAICO insurance companies remains. Both have been put under judicial management and solutions are being worked out through the continuing efforts of the ECCU member governments and in discussions with the governments of Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados. The credit union sector also has its issues related to the exposure of several institutions to CLICO and BAICO and governance and financial challenges at others," said the Central Bank Governor.
With respect to the monetary variables, Sir Dwight said growth in credit remained below historical norms at 1.0 percent, but this was an improvement over the 2.0 percent decline recorded in 2010. Non-performing loans however increased, leading to further tightening in the terms and conditions offered by commercial banks.
Meanwhile, total deposits rose by 3.0 percent, a marginal improvement over the 2.0 percent increase in the previous year.
Currency in circulation increased by 5.0 percent following contractions in the two (2) previous years.
"ECCU governments, in order to monitor their fiscal performances have set annual targets in relation to the primary balance and the debt to GDP ratio and most countries have adopted the VAT. With respect to debt, countries have approached the Paris Club for rescheduling and some element of improvement in their credit terms. Others have engaged in debt restructuring exercises with their creditors involving difficult discussions and negotiations, which it is hoped will result in an improvement in the situation for both the government and the creditors," said Sir Dwight.

has anyone used this plan? Could you build Santa Fe 1 plan and then build the extra bedrooms in Santa Fe 3 later?
Not yet. I'm pretty sure the roof is higher on the Santa Fe 3. You could build the front part first and the back part later.
Email Kelly if the plans you want aren't shown. He lists only the most popular ones.
Any plan with a roof serving as Patio, lounging around , star gazing :>) etc….
You could get what you're looking for with almost any of my plans because the roofs that are shown are just suggestions. Once you find a floorplan that you like just change to a flat roof and add some stairs.


The Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai has told soldiers ill-disposed to President Muhammadu Buhari's order on ballot boxes snatchers to turn in their resignation letter by Friday.
Burutai issued this directive against the backdrop of the statement by the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alh. Atiku Abubakar prodding soldiers to disregard Buhari's order.
"I want to direct this message to our military commanders and officers. You know that the military commanders and officers are not bound to execute orders that are manifestly unlawful," the former Vice President said at the 84th emergency meeting of the PDP national executive council.
Reacting, Buratai warned officers against electing to heed Atiku's advice saying, "Should any officer or soldier have doubts as to his loyalty to the Nigerian State as presently constituted, such a person has up to February 22, 2019 to resign. There is no room for indiscipline or disobedience to lawful orders in the Nigerian Army today.

I viewed the pictures after they left and I was cut out of the photo.
Kira Salak wrote in National Geographic: I stop near a small village called Thar Yar Gone to witness a nat-pwe, or spirit festival. Inside a large thatch hut, musicians play loud, frenetic music before a crowd of rowdy onlookers. On the opposite end of the hut, on a raised stage, sit several wooden statues: I pass through the crowd and enter a space underneath the stage, where a beautiful woman introduces herself as Phyo Thet Pine.


Ryan, co-founder of Entomo Farms with brothers Darren and Jarrod, represented Entomo Farms at Expo West in California for the first time last week! He walked the floor and chatted to many other like-minded people who are interested in improving people's health, and the overall health of the planet. Ryan met up with the folks from Chapul, eXo, Bitty Foods and many more!

Q: Why do the RGB gamut vertexes not intersect the edges of human vision on the CIExy plot? As I understand, the CIExy graphic maps "greenness", or rather middle-wavelengthness, to the Y axis and "redness", or rather long-wavelengtsness, to the X axis. The trapping used to reduce the 3d gamut of the human eye to 2d is that the gamut is specified for a certain constant luminosity, and long-wavelength + middle-wavelength + short-wavelength equals the said luminosity, thus the third coordinate can be extrapolated from the first two.
An example of this plot can be seen here, on wikipedia.
The curved edge of the human vision gamut gives the single wavelength spectrum. If this is the case, how come the RGB gamut (triangular) does not intersect the curved edge of the human vision gamut? The light coming off the 3 LED categories in the display should be of a nigh-single wavelength (as LEDs have a single, very sharp emission peak).

A: The corners of the triangle represent some standard definition of red, green, and blue.  There's no particular reason that they should correspond to single wavelengths, although admittedly the closer the standard colors are to the single-frequency curve, the larger the visible gamut would be.  The standard colors were undoubtedly chosen as a compromise based on dyes and phosphors that existed when the standards were created.
A new gamut can be created using frequencies that LEDs make available.  But such a gamut would not be consistent with accepted standards, with the result that the color specified by a particular RGB triplet would be different on an LED device than, say, a CRT display.  In order to make the same RGB triplet appear as similar as possible on various devices, displays adhere to one of the standard gamuts.

Biophysics of a natural grassland: evaporation.
Ripley, E. A. & Saugier, B.
Canada & Saskatchewan
Microclimatic measurements and flux determinations were made on natural grassland at the Matador project site in Saskatchewan, dominated by Agropyron spp. and Koeleria cristata, during 2 growing seasons. The calculated evaporation fluxes were analysed in terms of the potential evaporation, soil m.c. and plant water potential. The analysis fitted Monteith's canopy-resistance concept. The fraction of net radiation involved in evaporation was closely correlated with green LAI during the first half of the growing season, and with soil water content (0-30 cm) during the latter half of the growing season. Seasonal water-use estimates, by micrometeorological and soil moisture balance approaches, agreed to within 10%.

1.0 out of 5 starsTERRIBLE WATCH, TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Casio sent me a $965.57 bill to repair a $400 watch!!
DO NOT BUY THIS WATCH, CASIO DOES NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND IT IS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. I bought this watch a little more than a year ago and immediately started having problems with it. I called customer service several times to try and fix it and each time I called they told me that I should start with the "easy" fix (i.e. a new cord, cleaning procedures etc) rather than return it for service. Finally after several months with a broken watch I sent it back for service. Casio sat on the watch for two months, without any updates. I had to call several times and they never had any idea what the status was. Finally, after two months of this I was told that they have "recreated the problem" and that the watch was broken and needed a "new module" but they could not actually tell me what was wrong with it because the watches are "sealed".
In case that was not bad enough, even though this problem started in month 6 and I had called multiple times about the same issue (and they have a record of this), they are are refusing to honor the warranty, claiming that because I did not sent the watch in before 1 year (based on their advice to try the "easy" fix first) I will have to pay for all repairs to the watch. I argued that this was complete none-sense but they said there was "nothing we can do".
Then, to top it all off, they finally sent me the bill to repair the $400 watch and fix the "module". I have attached a copy so that no one can accuse me of making this up. Casio sent me a $965.57 bill to repair a $400 watch!! The other option is to not repair the watch but then I have to pay a "shipping and handling" fee to have my watch returned to me!! This is the absolute worst service I have EVER received from a company. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE SCAMMERS!!! YOUR WATCH WILL NOT LAST A YEAR AND THEN THEY WILL CHARGE YOU TWICE AS MUCH TO FIX IT!!!! BOYCOTT CASIO!!!!!
5.0 out of 5 starsHands Down Favorite Smartwatch! Best of both worlds (real and smart watch)!
See the bottom of this review for a 1 AND 3 year update!
This is my second smartwatch. First being my Moto 360 (1st gen). This watch is leagues better in performance and features. My watch before that was a Casio tripple sensor pathfinder (the watch this one is based off of). I highly recommend this watch as a it not only is the best smartwatch I have tried but is the first smartwatch that doesn't make me miss my old Casio.
- Fully waterproof. Showered and swam with it, no issues.
- True always-on screen mode.
- Long battery life. 20 hours with always-on screen mode.
- Timepiece mode. Can boot into normal LCD dumb-watch mode for 30 days of battery life (advertised not tested).
- Fastest watch used/seen yet. Very responsive.
- Dedicated buttons. App button is customizable app launcher through Casio android phone software.
- Exclusive tools (Altimeter, compass, step counter, sunrise/sunset, tide graph, barometric pressure) are amazing, sensitive and very responsive.
- Comes with Android Wear Marshmallow (1.4) preinstalled using my Nexus 6P.
- Microphone is accurate and responsive.
- Haptic feedback is strong.
- Charging is quick (less than 2 hours for full charge). Magnetic charger is a nice touch.
- Risen band is soft rubber and comfortable.
- Military spec in various environmental conditions including shock and vibration.
- Theater mode is the dumb watch/timepiece mode temporarily, not just the screen off.
Pro tip: Put the watch in theater mode (double tap middle button) when showering, in rain or around water to prevent the water from activating the touch screen. The watch will still display time (just in dumb watch/timepiece mode), just not act like a thousand tiny fingers are swipping at your watch. Tap the middle button again to exit back to smartwatch mode.
- No built in GPS.
- No ambient light sensor.
- No heart rate sensor.
- Magnetic charger disconnects easily. Cannot charge while still on wrist as it pops off quickly.
- Water does activate touch screen.
I work at a desk and run for fitness. While I am hard on my watches they do not see constant abuse from my lifestyle (mostly from carelessness). I purchased this watch because I love and trust the Casio brand and have used their watches for over 15 years. Once I went with a smartwatch I could not go back, this offers the best of both worlds; a real watch that is always on, I can wear all day and not need to take off for any reason (except at night to charge). This smartwatch actually last the whole day! That's with it always on (ambient mode watch faces though) and with me playing with it all day. The tools are really neat and I have had them on other Casio dumb-watches. I never use them but they are fun to show off and are accurate (at least previous Casio sensors were). Waterproofing and all-day battery while always on were the main selling points for me. I need a watch first, and a smartwatch second. This raises the bar as an actual watch while still being a superb smartwatch. The physical buttons are really nice since one of the main downfalls of a smartwatch is ease of use. It should take more than 3 clicks/swipes to get to what you want and most apps are more than that away. The Tool button and App buttons help alleviate this for the most used apps.
The feature I miss the most is the ambient light sensor. Finding a balance between being able to see the watch outside (especially with sunglasses on) and not have it blind you in low light settings is difficult with this watch. The flat tire is annoying sense there is not light sensor, but honestly you do not notice it after a few days. The watch is very lightweight, feels like its aluminum rather than titanium as a lot of the G-Shock Casio watches are made out of. Band does appear like it could be replaceable, but I have not seen any third party bands yet. Lack of GPS and heart rate monitor are no big deals to me. I will never be without my phone and the heart rate sensors are a joke. You need to stand still for them to work properly and while you're working out is not when you want to stand still. I cannot attest to the durability of this watch yet, but it has no scratches yet and the screen is deeply embedded so only a corner of something should catch the screen.
See attached video for size and features. I am a medium to slim build guy, 160 lbs 5'10".
This watch continues to be a reliable and valuable replacement for my everyday dumb watch with all the features Android Wear. I do not have any problems and it is well intact.
- Using the watch with always-on screen turned off seems to be the sweet spot for the watch. It lasts two days in battery, and when the screen is off, Casio provides much more than the ambient mode of most watch faces. You get time with incrementing seconds, plus the day and date. It saves battery and is a better ambient face. Definitely recommend turning off "Always-on screen".
- the watch does occasionally become disconnected from the phone. A quick was to fix this is to cycle the watches airplane mode; turning airplane mode on for a few seconds and then turning it off seems to allow the watch to connect again. You may need to open Android Wear on the phone as a last step to connect the two again. This seems to occur most when I have been away from the phone for a while.
- The watch is easily scratched, especially if you work with your hands. I recommend taking it off if working inside the engine of a car or other tight metal places as it will bang up the aluminum face and screen. A screen protector is a must! Within the first week I would have gauged the watch screen real good. This is not Gorilla Glass nor is the face made of titanium, get it some protection!
- I have read that others have issues charging the watch after some time. I have noticed this when there is small bits of metal or debris in the charging section of the watch or cable. This can happen easily as it is magnetic. Clean it out and it works great!
This watch is still going strong! After 3 rough years with it, it still lasts 36 hours easily. Charges fast and works smoothly. Supports the latest Android Wear/Wear OS (third/latest major update).
If I had one complaint it would be that it does not always charge at night and I wake up to it being at 30% charge. It will still last most of the next day, but it only takes 30 minutes of charge to get in the 80s and I'm good to go!
Most of the metallic finish has come off, but the base orange layer is still looking great. This watch can take a beating and still truck on.
All in all the watch is still quick, water proof, and has long battery life. I still am wearing it everyday and still recommend this watch above all others!

Syria strongly condemns presence of US, Turkish forces around Manbij
Iran Press TV
Tue Jun 19, 2018 01:29PM
Syria has strongly denounced the presence of Turkish and US troops around the Arab country's northern town of Manbij, a day after soldiers of both countries entered the outskirts of the flashpoint town as part of a deal reached between Ankara and Washington to purportedly remove US-backed Kurdish militants from the area and "secure" the region.
"Syria expresses its strong condemnation and absolute rejection of the incursion of Turkish and American forces in the vicinity of Manbij, which comes in the context of continued Turkish and American aggression," Syria's official news agency, SANA, said, quoting an unnamed official from the country's Foreign Ministry.
The official added that following successive achievements against various terror groups, the Syrian people and their valiant armed forces "are more resolute and determined than ever to liberate the entire Syrian soil from any foreign elements and to preserve the sovereignty and territorial integrity" of the Arab country.
The statement came just a day after Turkish broadcaster NTV, citing Turkey's Prime Minister Binali Yildirim, reported that Turkish troops had begun patrolling areas around Manbij, as part of a deal reached between Ankara and Washington earlier this month to "ensure the security and stability" of the Syrian town.
Other reports said that American troops also began separate and independent patrols along the line separating Turkish-held areas of northern Syria from Manbij, which is currently under the control of the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a Kurdish-dominated and anti-Damascus militant group that has the support of Washington.
The Syrian government has given a degree of authority to the Kurdish regions to run their own affairs in the face of a foreign-backed militancy. The US, however, has used the vacuum to establish a foothold in those regions with the help of militants.
Ankara, for its part, considers the SDF as largely composed of militants from the People's Protection Units (YPG), viewed by the Turkish government as a terror group and the Syrian branch of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). The latter has been fighting for an autonomous region inside Turkey since 1984.
The US angered Turkey by announcing a plan for the formation of a Kurdish militant force in Syria near the Turkish border, prompting Ankara in January to launch a cross-border military operation inside Syria, code-named Operation Olive Branch, with the declared aim of eliminating the YPG militants from northern Syria, particularly the Afrin region. Turkish troops captured Afrin in March, claiming that they had killed scores of YPG militants until then.
Earlier this year, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had threatened to push its Afrin offensive against the YPG militants eastward to Manbij, where US forces are stationed, risking confrontation between the NATO allies.
However, Washington agreed to withdraw the US-backed Kurdish militia from Manbij, arguably paving the way for Turkish troops to capture the volatile town, according to the recent US-Turkey deal.
Ankara had repeatedly accused Washington of failing to fulfill its promise regarding the withdrawal of its allied militants from Manbij after the purge of the Daesh terrorist group in August 2016.
Operation Olive Branch in Afrin region is Turkey's second major military intervention in Syria during the unprecedented foreign-backed militancy that broke out in 2011.
In August 2016, Turkey began a unilateral military intervention in northern Syria, code-named Operation Euphrates Shield, sending tanks and warplanes across the border. Ankara claimed that its military campaign was aimed at pushing Daesh from Turkey's border with Syria and stopping the advance of Kurdish forces, who were themselves fighting Daesh.
Turkey ended its campaign in northern Syria in March 2017, but at the time did not rule out the possibility of yet another act of military offensive inside the Arab country.

Parenting Style May Increase Risk of Teen Victimization
A unique longitudinal investigation reveals that adolescent bullying and victimization may have origins in the home. The new study suggests a derisive parenting style increases the risk that a teen may be bullied or victimized or become a bully or perpetrator.
Researchers from Florida Atlantic University, Concordia University in Montreal, Canada, and Uppsala University in Sweden discovered many bullies have parents who are hostile, punitive and rejecting.
Specifically, investigators discovered a parenting approach that contributes to peer difficulties: those who direct derision and contempt at their children.
Derisive parents use demeaning or belittling expressions that humiliate and frustrate the child, without any obvious provocation from the child. These parents respond to child engagement with criticism, sarcasm, put-downs and hostility, and rely on emotional and physical coercion to obtain compliance.
The study emphasizes the emotional underpinnings of peer difficulties. The researchers followed 1,409 children for three consecutive years from grades 7 to 9 (ages 13-15 years). The findings, which appear in the Journal of Youth and Adolescence, show that derisive parenting fosters dysregulated anger in adolescent children.
Dysregulated anger is indicative of difficulties regulating emotion, which typically result in negative emotions, verbal and physical aggression, and hostility. Increases in dysregulated anger, in turn, place adolescents at greater risk for bullying and victimization, and for becoming bully-victims (bullies who also are victimized by other bullies).
The latter finding is noteworthy given that past research indicates that bully-victims are at the greatest risk for poor mental health, behavioral difficulties, and suicidal thoughts when compared to "pure" victims, "pure" bullies, or non-victims. Identification of the family-specific origins of bully-victim status may be a key step in limiting or preventing such poor outcomes.
Importantly, these findings held after controlling for parenting behaviors implicated in child adjustment, such as warmth, control and physical punishment. This study suggests that derisive behavior is a unique form of parenting that increases the risks that adolescent children will adopt inappropriate anger management strategies that increases their risk for peer difficulties.
"Inappropriate interpersonal responses appear to spread from parents to children, where they spawn peer difficulties. Specifically, derisive parenting precipitates a cycle of negative affect and anger between parents and adolescents, which ultimately leads to greater adolescent bullying and victimization," said Brett Laursen, Ph.D., co-author and FAU a professor of psychology.
"Our study is important because it provides a more complete understanding of how parents' belittling and critical interactions with adolescents thwart their ability to maintain positive relationships with peers."
Daniel J. Dickson, Ph.D., a senior author of the study, said, "Implications from our study are far-reaching: practitioners and parents should be informed of the potential long-term costs of sometimes seemingly harmless parenting behaviors such as belittlement and sarcasm.
"Parents must be reminded of their influence on adolescents' emotions and should take steps to ensure that adolescents do not feel ridiculed at home."

IPhone 12 Does Not Come With Power Charger Or Earbuds In The Box
Apple's decision to skip the charger and EarPods seems like a step that might reduce the company's environmental footprint. But it's not that straightforward .
APPLE'S NEWEST IPHONE comes with no charging adapter or EarPods within the box. it is the same with the Apple Watches that debuted last month. A charging cable is included (USB-C to Lightning cable for the iPhone 12), but Apple wants buyers to provide their own charging bricks to plug into the wall.
The company's reasons are straightforward. "Customers have already got over 700 million Lightning headphones, and lots of customers have moved to a wireless experience," said Lisa Jackson, vice chairman of environment, policy, and social initiatives at Apple, during Tuesday's iPhone launch event. "There also are over 2 billion Apple power adapters out there within the world, and that is not counting the billions of third-party adapters. We're removing these things from the iPhone box, which reduces carbon emissions and avoids the mining and use of precious materials."
With fewer items included, the iPhone's packaging is smaller. Jackson claims that Apple can fit up to 70 percent more products on a shipping pallet. "Taken all at once , the changes we've made for iPhone 12 cut over 2 million metric plenty of carbon annually; it's like removing 450,000 cars from roads per annum ."
Some accessory makers say the move is welcome, offering customers more choice. And Apple should be commended for creating a transparent effort to decrease its environmental footprint. But sustainability experts are skeptical, saying that Apple's efforts make only alittle impact on the growing electronic waste crisis.
"A total of fifty plenty of mercury and 71 kilotons of [brominated flame retardant] plastics are found in globally undocumented flows of e-waste annually, which is essentially released into the environment and impacts the health of the exposed workers," the report says.
Apple routinely touts its efforts to scale back toxic components in its hardware. In its 2020 Environmental report , the corporate says it spent four years researching and developing an alternate to PVC (PVC), a cloth utilized in the manufacturing process of power cords. The resulting material isn't toxin-free, but Apple claims it's a "lower toxicological and ecological risk." It often points out these advancements, like "arsenic-free display glass," and "Beryllium-free" components in environmental reports about its products.
Yet Kuehr says it is vital to place the impact of the removal of the charger and EarPods from the newest iPhones and Apple Watches into perspective.
"The percentage of chargers coming from tablets, smartphones, et cetera is 0.1 percent of the entire e-waste increase," he said. "This makes up roughly 54,000 metric plenty of e-waste generated. If you think about only Apple's portion, it's probably half or less. At the utmost , you'll probably say it's 25,000 metric tons, or 0.05 percent of the entire e-waste increase annually."
The lack of a charging adapter within the box doesn't suggest people won't need them anymore, Kuehr says. People may use what they need available reception , but many will still buy adapters from Apple. Those will now got to be packed and shipped separately from the phones, thereby increasing the environmental consequences.
Sara Behdad, a sustainability researcher at the University of Florida, agrees. "Apple's analysis is predicated on this impression that some users really don't need chargers and EarPods, because they have already got them. Some users don't. Then they need to get them, which requires packaging and additional transportation."
The relationship between a charger and an iPhone isn't necessarily one-to-one, either. Behdad says she's used more chargers than the amount of phones she's owned. While this is often anecdotal, and Behdad says there got to be surveys and more research to form any conclusive statements, it's quite possible people will buy quite one charger from Apple or other accessory makers.
