Radicalizing Religion? Religious Identity and Settlers' Behavior
Does religious identity prompt radical action? This article presents a model of individual-level radical action. Drawing mostly on collective action theory the article posits that organizational membership drives the effect of religious identity on individual-level radical action. Using survey data the article assesses the behavior of Jewish settlers in the West Bank in the face of the 2005 Gaza withdrawal. The article finds that contra the prevailing view, which holds that religious identity alone is sufficient to trigger violence, evidence suggests that organizational membership is a mechanism bridging religious identity and radical action. Longstanding arguments tying radical actions solely to religion may require substantial revision.
Sivan Hirsch-Hoefler | Daphna Canetti | Ehud Eiran
From the Christian crusades to the recent violence employed by the Islamic State, many conflicts have occurred along religious fault lines And indeed, both popular intuition and much scholarship suggest that religious identity (RI) leads inexorably to radical action (RA), which can include violence.
The purported association between RI and RA relies chiefly on the argument that the inherent intractability and exclusivity of religion leave little room for the negotiation of conflicts, and hence lead by their very nature to RA. Yet, while individuals and institutions sometimes exploit religious claims to justify or inflame violence, others adduce their religious identity in promoting peace, moderation, and prosocial behavior.
Drawing on micro-level data analysis, some scholars offer frameworks, including eliteanalysis and constructivist perspectives, that account for this discrepancy, arguing that RI cannot be considered the sole direct cause of support for RA, violence, and the negation of democratic values.
We contribute to this debate by arguing for a mediating role of networks of mobilization in the link between RI and RA. We argue that a religious identity leads to radical action only if mediated by membership in an organization that has political goals.
To test our argument we conducted a representative survey (N D 517) among Jewish settlers in the West Bank in February 2006—about six months after Israel's disengagement from the Gaza Strip and the northern West Bank, in which it removed all settlers and settlements from those territories. Specifically, we tested whether a religious identity made Israeli settlers more likely to adopt radical action against the Israeli government following the announcement of the disengagement plan, and if so, whether the influence of religious identity on radical behavior could be traced mainly to individual beliefs or sentiments or, rather, to networks of mobilization. The Israeli settler population during this period makes a good case study for examining the relationship between religion and political behavior writ large, and the influence of religion on radical action in particular, because this population offers great variation in their engagement in radical responses to the disengagement policy.
Below, we first outline the theoretical justification for our hypothesis that organizational membership plays a mediating role in the relationship between RI and RA. We then describe the setting and background in terms of the Israeli settler population and the particular event which anchors the research (the disengagement). Following that, we report on our study and its findings. We conclude with the implications of our research for the study of religion and political behavior.

GGG says full focus is on Rolls, not Canelo
GGG says he's not looking past Steve Rolls and ahead to a possible third fight with Canelo.
Midlife crisis can come for ya earlier or later, or not at all if you are lucky or dead.
But many if not most folks, once they reach a certain age, something clicks in. It's a gnawing, then a dawning, = then a reckoning. Oh, right, this run isn't infinite.
You can run, but from aging, you can't hide, even with the best surgeons and biggest money bags. There is no insulation invented which prevents deterioration from aging.
DAZN. The scrap is the second in as many weeks in that big room, and June 1 saw the Upset of the Year — we likely couldn't get a more massive jaw-dropper than Andy Ruiz over Anthony Joshua, could we? — which Rolls is keen to replicate, and GGG is dead-set on rebuffing.
"Not really like that. I feel my experience, I have my experience," he told me, when I asked if he felt he needed a reboot.
"I come back, like smart guy," he said, referring to that time off since his last outing, a supposed L against Canelo. He's now wearing more hats, fighting plus promoting six hitters, and he likes the new duties, he stated.
"Right now, I feel new company, with DAZN, new coach, new system, new everything, new vision, like new generation."
It was fall when he fought last. We cycled through winter and spring, and now summer sizzle is promised. Will sizzle be on the menu Saturday? What new tricks could he bring to the trade after debuting in 2006 — do the math, many moons ago?
"I bring amazing show for people," he said,. "A good event. Undercard is beautiful. I believe everybody want my fight. Steve Rolls, he's undefeated. Very important, he's a professional fighter. He's from Canada, c'mon guys, like in NBA Finals right now, Raptors. Nobody knows, Toronto the same!"
Then I got a little bit fresh, but not really, because I wanted to go there, but not get shot down.
"One of these guys," I said, gesturing at the hungry videography squad led by David Yi and company, "is gonna ask ya, but I'm not, what about a third Canelo fight?"
"Smart," said GGG, just a hint of pinch on his face.
"Everybody ask me," he said, relaxing a notch. "Guys, c'mon, my focus is on Steve Rolls! If I feel good and beat him, 99 percent I will comment in September!"
And would he offer a prediction for Saturday?
"This is boxing, nobody knows!"
My three cents: Yes, he sounds like a sage. At 37, all he's done, the longevity he's enjoyed, the heights he's climbed, the contract he snagged at this later stage of his career, that's a wise answer. And that's why I'm thinking his tweaks, those moves made, they could pay some dividends. Most of us flounder when seeking to activate large-scale, big-picture lifestyle shifts. But a GGG has proven to be of a higher caliber. At 37, you'd think his run on DAZN could likely feature diminishing returns. I'd not bet on a resurgence. This is boxing, though, and nobody knows.

Sophie Calle's The Address Book
Oscar Wilde once wrote that "Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter." And in many ways this speaks directly to the winner of the 2014 Essay Prize—Sophie Calle's provocative, complex, and ultimately fascinating portrait of a man she never met.
In 1983, Calle found an address book on the street, photocopied its contents, and anonymously mailed it back to its owner, a small-time filmmaker whom she calls "Pierre D." Calle then visited Pierre's personal contacts and asked them what they knew about the address book's owner. "Thus, I will get to know this man through his friends and acquaintances," she writes in the book's first page. "I will try to discover who he is without ever meeting him, and I will try to produce a portrait of him over an undetermined length of time that will depend on the willingness of his friends to talk about hi —and on the turns taken by the events."
Long interested in challenging the line that separates public and private, Sophie Calle has donned disguises to stalk and photograph a stranger in Florence, worked as a chambermaid so she could gain access to private hotel rooms, and published a book that juxtaposed nude photos of herself with cards her parents received when she was born. But The Address Book is the fullest realization of her obsession with the idea of privacy, partly because as she acknowledged in a 2008 interview "this is the only project where I went too far. Yet if it had to be redone, I would redo it because the excitement is stronger than the guilt."
In his own way, Pierre soon proved as relentless as Calle. When he learned of the project, Pierre unsuccessfully sued the artist for invasion of privacy. He hectored the newspaper that first published Calle's project, Libération, until it published his response, consisting of a nude photo of Calle that he had found—a photograph that she herself had already published years earlier.
The petty and self-defeating Pierre is partly what makes The Address Book so compelling, funny, and devastating. He is full of contradictions, of bitterness borne out of thwarted professional ambitions, and of self-deception. "He constantly tells strange, heavy, suspicious stories," says one acquaintance in The Address Book, "in which he always plays the role of the victim, totally demoralized by his misfortunes and, at the same time, totally delighted by them." His overreactions to small slights often hurt himself worse than the affronts themselves. In fact, we only know his real name, Pierre Baudry, because of his efforts to protect his privacy—an early, pre-digital example of the Streisand Effect.
Made up of 28 daily entries, The Address Book asks how well we can know another person, and what our obsessions tell us about ourselves. Without ever meeting Pierre, Calle creates a surprisingly vivid portrait of her subject through interviews with mere acquaintances, casting new light on the bonds that keep people together and the barriers that keep us apart.

About Sophie Calle
Sophie Calle is an internationally renowned artist whose controversial works often fuse conceptual art and Oulipian-like constraints, investigatory methods and fictional constructs, the plundering of autobiography and the artful composition of self. Using a range of media—photography, film, writing, performance, installation—Calle explores the tensions between the observed, the reported, the secret, and the unsaid; desire and voyeurism are often agents to expose the multiplicity of truth as well as its absence. Her 2007 Venice Biennale French Pavillion installation Please Take Care of Yourself has been exhibited worldwide to great acclaim, most recently installed at The Pulitzer Foundation in St. Louis. The Whitechapel Gallery in London organized a retrospective in 2009, and her work has been show at major museums such as Musee d'art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; De Appel, Amsterdam; The Museum of Modern Art and The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Hayward Gallery and Serpentine Gallery, London; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; among others. She lives and works in Paris.

Ripe sweet mangos always remind me of the Philippines. And I must say when we claimed that we have the best mango in the world, hands down it's truly the best. But being away from home and craving for those heavenly luscious fruit is like a quest. I have tried several varieties and so far I can say that probably the closest is the Ataulfo variety. But sadly unlike those mango we have back home it can be a little tricky to know if it's truly ripe or not. Philippine mango has a very sweet aroma and it is the best determinant that it's ready to be consumed.
Sweet mango also reminds me of a breakfast that I truly love. It's a simple one paired with sticky rice and sikwate - our own version of hot chocolate made from tablea ( Cocoa ground formed to coin sized tablets ). Every time I can enjoy this treat my taste buds just take me home.
After of course discovering the sweet mango, it was time to learn to cook Puto Maya. Native desserts like Puto Maya always intimidate me because they have no specific measurements when they do this at home. Correct me if I am wrong but everything done eyeballed. And that really throws me off. Fortunately after some research and a friend's advise I finally have the recipe. Now I can finally have this wonderful breakfast at home granted they have lovely mangos in Costco and the pasalubong ( gifts you give after you travel ) of tablea from my in-laws is still around.
2. In your steamer basket place ideally banana leaf ( or parchment paper to prevent sticking).
4. Add about 2 tbsp. of sugar and few dashes of salt on the drained rice. Mix until completely incorporated.
5. Place seasoned rice on the steamer and start steaming covered for about 10mins.
6. After 10mins. Or more depending on your steamer water should start to boil. Add about 1/4 of the canned coconut milk + ginger. Mix well then cover again.
7. Once rice is half cooked add the other 1/4cup of coconut and mix well. Or just enough to cook the rice. Adding too much will make it soupy.
8. Check the taste for sweetness, if preferred you can add more sugar to your liking.
9. Cover again and check from time to time until rice is thoroughly cooked.

Disc 1: Layla, Bell Bottom Blues, Blues Power, Stormy Monday, Tell The Truth
Disc 2: Got To Get Better In A Little While, Little Wing, Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad, Have You Ever Loved A Woman, Let It Rain
Derek And The Dominos' appearance at the Painters Mill Music Fair outside of Baltimore was released previously as Seven Pulsating Notes on the Mid Valley label (111/112). Tinkerbell use the same tape source (it has the same cuts and audience comments by the recorder) but is a dramatic improvement over the Mid Valley release. Tinkerbell is in stereo while Mid Valley is mono and is much more clear, enjoyable and powerful. The Mid Valley might rate a four out of ten but this new version, while still not perfect, is clearly listenable.
This is one of their final performaces (the last occuring December 6th in Selden, Long Island of all places). "Layla", which was rarely played, opens the show. It sounds as if the band want to go into the second half (the first few notes are played), but they segue into "Bell Bottom Blues" instead. The audience are clearly impressed with "Stormy Monday". "Little Wing" is played in a unique up-tempo arrangement as a prelude to "Why Does Love got To Be So Sad". "Let It Rain" closes the tape of a very strong and confident performance by the band.
The unfortunately named Tinkerbell label is a new offshoot of the Misterclaudel/Wendy/Non Plus Ultra people focusing upon (one assumes) Eric Clapton releases. It has similar thick glossy paper inserts and even comes with picture discs. Tinkerbell did an exellent job in redeeming this tape from being poor and only for completists to being very enjoyable and a fantastic record of a rare Derek And The Dominos performance. On that point this is a great release and an auspicious start for this new label.
I agree with the above review for the most part. While the sound is just fair, it is listenable. More importantly, the extremely rare (if ever) pairing of "Layla" and "Bell Bottom Blues" to open, and the one off arrangement of "Little Wing" make this a unique Derek title. The performance is passionate by all four guys ,and the vibe of the crowd is really upbeat throughout the show, and not just on the hits. Minor point: I would only give the packaging a 7.5 or 8.

A rejuvenated Scott Dixon thinks his Honda package will be more competitive in 2018 with a new aero kit being used in the Indycars Championship.
The New Zealander will kick-off his 16th campaign with the Chip Ganassi outfit at Monday's season-opening round on the streets of St Petersburg, Florida and fans will get to see the new-look package in race mode for the first time.
Initial testing has Dixon believing the advantage that his Chevrolet rivals enjoyed last year won't be as significant, if any advantage at all.
"The Chevrolet had considerably more downforce at street courses, low grip road courses and short oval – maybe 500-700 more pounds of downforce and yet they still had more drag," Dixon told The Herald.
"Penske and the good [Chevrolet] teams are still going to be very strong I just think you may see more of a mix with the good Honda teams being closer to winning races than we saw last year."
The new aero kit will see cars have less downforce and Dixon's Chip Ganassi Team has opted to keep some valuable test days up their sleeve for once the season kicks off.
"The car feels good – it is definitely a big change of direction," he said. "We have been gradually adding downforce over the last five years and now it is almost a reduction of 25-30% especially on the road course and short oval.
"A different direction but it should make the cars a little trickier to drive and probably to get them in the box that you need for the race.
"Everything has gone pretty well in testing. We have kept a few test dates to the end of this month – we saved a few more to use later in the season."
The traditional series opener has been a place where Dixon has succeeded although he has never stood on the top step of the podium there.
"It would be a big deal if we were finally able to get to the top spot. Last year I think we had the speed to do it – the car was very fast – but we were on the wrong strategy and ended up third.
"It is a great place to start the season. It is just creeping out of winter in the mid-west and there is still snow on the ground so it is nice to get to kick off in a warm place.
"The city really embraces the race. Each year they keep improving the track. It has long straights and big braking zones – I think this year the braking zones should be able to create more passing with less downforce those passing areas get a lot bigger and easier to make mistakes.
"You are surrounded by concrete walls so it is not very forgiving."
As is always the case with the 37-year-old, Dixon has two major goals for the year ahead – to win the championship for a fifth time and to pick up a second Indianapolis 500 victory.
"The goals are definitely the same – win the 500 and win the championship," he said.
"Last year we had a pretty big shift going from one manufacturer to another. I think that really helped us. We learned a lot as a team.
"With the aero changes we should be a bit more equal.
"Everything changes so often even from race to race. You can't really dwell on last season's results or even the last race. The tyres change significantly and the tracks change and the competition changes."

Q: Probability hit "bullseye" I have to finish en example, but don't know how to do it.
We hahve a shooting target.
Let's say that distribution in this target is bivariate normal distribution (x,y). . We have this formula for probability density:

The center of the target is . The points (x,y) will have polar coordinate:

Probability density f(x,y) is:
I need to calculate the (integral) probability hit on "bullseye" if we have r=1 for the last formula.
Can anyone know how to do it?

A: You're trying to integrate
$$P = \int\limits_0^R {\frac {rdr}{2π \sigma^2}} e^{\frac{-(r/\sigma)^2}{2}}$$
The derivative of
$$e^{\frac{-(r/\sigma)^2}{2}}$$
is
$$-\frac{r}{\sigma^2} \cdot e^{\frac{-(r/\sigma)^2}{2}}$$
So the integral of
$$\frac{r}{2π \sigma^2} e^{\frac{-(r/\sigma)^2}{2}}$$
is
$$-\frac{e^{\frac{-(r/\sigma)^2}{2}}} {2\pi}$$
which is easy enough to evaluate at $R$ and $0$.
EDIT:
To review, if
$$f(r)=\frac{d}{dr}g(r)$$
then
$$\int\limits_a^b {f(r)}dr  = g(b)-g(a)$$
In this case
$$\frac{r}{2π \sigma^2} e^{\frac{-(r/\sigma)^2}{2}} = \frac{d}{dr}\left(-\frac{e^{\frac{-(r/\sigma)^2}{2}}} {2\pi}\right) = \frac{-1}{2\pi}\frac{d}{dr}\left({e^{\frac{-(r/\sigma)^2}{2}}}\right)$$
so
$$P = \int\limits_0^1\frac{r dr}{2π \sigma^2} e^{\frac{-(r/\sigma)^2}{2}} = \frac{-1}{2\pi}\left({e^{\frac{-(1/\sigma)^2}{2}}}-{e^{\frac{-(0/\sigma)^2}{2}}}\right)$$
$$= \frac{-1}{2\pi}\left({e^{\frac{-(1/\sigma)^2}{2}}}-1\right)$$
$$= \frac{1}{2\pi}\left(1-{e^{\frac{-(1/\sigma)^2}{2}}}\right)$$

With spring in the air a roadside swab test to catch drug drivers could net more than just those dabbling with illegal substances.
Two years ago on March 2, new legislation was introduced surrounding the types of medicines that people can and cannot use whilst at the wheel.
Many drivers are unaware that dosing up on something as simple as hay fever meds can cause adverse effects and severely impact their driving and concentration abilities.
Indeed, research from Confused.com shows many drivers are unaware of the danger of dosing up on seemingly harmless treatments to ease their running noses or itchy eyes before taking to the wheel.
According to the study, more than a third of Brits claim to suffer from hay fever, with nearly two-thirds of hay fever sufferers admitting to driving after taking medication.
This is despite common side effects such as drowsiness, experienced by more than half of drivers, with 35 per cent feeling lethargic and experiencing blurry vision.
Worryingly, one in 15 motorists who suffer from hay fever admits that their ability to drive has at one point been impaired while under the influence of medication.
And disturbingly, almost one in 20 of these people have had an accident as a result of driving after taking such medication.
Many people don't understand the serious consequences that can arise by mixing certain over-the-counter remedies. So, it may come as no surprise that many Brits feel strongly about drug driving, with more than half saying that absolutely no one should be allowed to drive while under the influence of drugs.
Yet with more than a third of drivers suffering from hay fever, it is understandable many may have to resort to taking remedies to help them combat their allergies.
And according to the Royal Pharmaceutical Society many prescription and over-the-counter medications, including some hay fever medications, can have side-effects.
Despite the guidance leaflets provided with prescription and over the counter medication, when it comes to the recommended guidelines for taking hay fever medication, many Brits show a flagrant disregard to the advice being given. In fact more than one in seven drivers who suffer from hay fever admit to not reading the advice leaflet.
And worryingly, one in 15 drivers admit to not sticking to the recommended dose too, with 3 per cent saying they didn't realise there was a recommended dose for the medication.
Amanda Stretton, motoring editor at Confused.com, said: "It's worrying to see that so many drivers admit to driving while under the influence of drugs - 15 per cent – both prescription (12 per cent) and illegal (3 per cent).
"However, it would seem that new drug driving laws introduced two years ago seem to be having an impact, with the number of drug driving arrests increasing.
"The level of awareness among drivers around how certain medications can affect a person's driving ability is another area for concern. This is particularly alarming given that we are about to enter hay fever season. More than a third admit to suffering from the ailment and, understandably, many resort to taking medication to help combat the symptoms. Yet those that choose to do so need to be highly aware of the potential risks of drowsiness and reduced concentration levels while driving.

High energy whisky (with water) – how membranes can provide sustainable water systems and energy recovery for distilleries
Posted: 26 April 2016 | New Food | 2 comments
Scotch whisky production is one of the industry's most conservative sectors but it is increasingly looking to new technologies to improve sustainability, minimise costs and maximise operational benefits. Three key areas of consideration are the reduction of waste; overall energy use; and water consumption – to meet the Federation House Commitment to reduce water consumption by 20% by 2020.
The traditional approach to dealing with distillery waste (Figure 1, page 67) is to dewater the draff (spent grains from fermentation) and blend it with evaporated pot ale (the residue from initial distillation) to make a by-product (Distiller's Grain) for sale as cattle feed. Spent lees (the residue from the second distillation), wash waters and other aqueous wastes are treated, typically by a biological trickling filter, prior to discharge to sewer or a watercourse. However, a number of factors are combining to alter this approach.
Firstly, the increasing cost of energy makes Pot Ale evaporation expensive whilst the fluctuating price of cattle feed brings the value of Distiller's Grain into question. Secondly, many of the trickling filters currently in service are 50 years old and efficiency is poor. The tightening of consent limits for the discharge of wastewater to watercourses requires additional treatment, whilst the adoption of Mogden formula charging based on COD for sewer disposal is making this route more expensive. Thirdly, the rising cost of mains water, where this is used, impacts on operating costs. The latest process developments can provide sustainable solutions combining bio-energy production and water recycling.
Membrane bioreactors have a good track record in distillery wastewater treatment in combination with anaerobic treatment to recover energy, as Figure 2 shows.
Here the pot ale and draff are separated from the spent lees and wash waters, mixed with dust and culms and dewatered, dried and burned in a specially designed duel fuel (biomass and biogas) fired boiler to produce steam and electrical energy, which is used on site. The spent lees, as common in distilleries, is contaminated with a low level of copper picked up from the still. In order to ensure that the copper consent is met, this spent lees is treated by an ion exchange plant to remove the copper prior to mixing with the liquors from the dewatering process. The combined liquors are treated in a Biothane expanded granular suspended bed (EGSB) high rate anaerobic reactor. This uses a granular anaerobic biomass to convert a high proportion of carbonaceous COD into methane-rich biogas, which is used as an additional fuel for the boiler. Following the anaerobic treatment stage, the aqueous stream is passed to a membrane bioreactor (MBR). This is an aerobic process in which aerobic bacteria remove most of the residual COD and also convert ammonia into nitrate (nitrification). It also incorporates an anoxic denitrification stage to reduce total nitrogen. Meeting the SEPA discharge consent necessitates membrane filtration as a final process stage, and this produces a high quality effluent that can be fed directly to a reverse osmosis unit to be reused as boiler make-up water. Excess biomass generated in the biological treatment processes is mixed with the draff prior to dewatering to provide additional biofuel for the boiler. The system provides 98% of the steam and 80% of electrical power used at the distillery, reducing annual carbon dioxide emissions at the site by approximately 56,000 tonnes.
So successful has this total bio-energy approach been that a novel solution that combines the advantages of anaerobic digestion and membrane bioreactor (MBR) technologies has been developed in a compact anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR). The system (Figure 3) consists of a high efficiency anaerobic bioreactor followed by a membrane ultrafiltration system.
Wastewater is fed to the anaerobic bioreactor where the organic components are converted into biogas, which usually more than satisfies the process energy requirements with surplus being available as a renewable energy fuel for boilers or CHP plants. The effluent from the anaerobic reactor is pumped to the ultrafiltration modules, where permeate is separated and biomass is returned to the bioreactor. The permeate has negligible suspended solids concentration and can potentially be fed directly to a reverse osmosis plant allowing approximately 70% or more of the wastewater to be recovered at a quality at least as good as that of softened mains water. This water can be used for applications where potable water is not mandatory, such as boiler or cooling tower make-up and CIP. The ultrafiltration membrane retains sludge in the system, minimising surplus sludge production and disposal costs. It also retains high molecular weight COD, which is often difficult to biodegrade in conventional anaerobic reactors, for a sufficiently long period that most of it is broken down. This not only reduces the COD but enhances biogas production. By combining two steps into one, the process typically reduces the influent COD by more than 99% and this usually means that no additional expensive aerobic post-treatment is necessary.
Treating high strength wastewater by anaerobic membrane bioreactors produces a treated effluent that is usually low enough in COD to be discharged directly to surface water and with low enough turbidity to be fed directly to reverse osmosis (as proven on several full-scale industrial plants). Biogas production provides a sustainable source of renewable energy and the possibility of nutrient recovery offers a potentially saleable additional by-product. There are now about a dozen AnMBR plants in operation around the world and these have demonstrated that the combination of reduced effluent discharge costs, low operating costs, energy recovery and water recycling makes the process not only highly attractive technically and economically, but also sustainable, reducing both carbon and water footprints. Following proving trials carried out at three distilleries it is calculated that, by using AnMBR, a typical 8Mla distillery would benefit by approximately £800,000pa in energy and recycling water via reverse osmosis and the benefits in reduced discharge cost and mains water savings could easily add a further £100,000pa, as Figure 4 shows.
This type of project, converting by-products into valuable energy and recoverable clean water, can make a major contribution to the sustainability of distilleries and will set the new standard in the industry.

Missile lands in crowd of civilians before truck full of rockets smuggled into the city explodes nearby.
A rocket landed in a crowd of civilians near Kabul's police headquarters Saturday, and a truck full of rockets smuggled into the city under a pile of hay exploded nearby moments later, officials said. At least five people were killed and five wounded. The truck contained five 107 mm rockets rigged to explode, said Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi, the Defense Ministry spokesman. He said two of the rockets detonated in the explosion but that three did not. The sound of the blast reverberated through Kabul around 8:20 a.m. Moments earlier, a rocket was fired - apparently by remote control - toward the police station, but it instead landed in a crowd of civilians, said Najib Nekzad, a press officer for the Ministry of Interior. Nekzad said five civilians were killed and five wounded, including two police. The attacker smuggled the rocket launcher and rockets into the city by hiding them under a pile of hay, Nekzad said. Afghanistan has seen a record level of suicide bombings this year, and rockets are sometimes fired into Kabul at night, though most land harmlessly in a patch of dirt. But Saturday's attack appeared to be the first where insurgents used rockets at such close range in an attack. Officials said three distinct explosions were heard during the attack. Nekzad speculated that the first explosion was the rocket that was fired toward the police headquarters. A second explosion appeared to have gone off near the truck, perhaps to lure police officers toward the vehicle. The third explosion - the largest by far - was the sound of the vehicle exploding, Nekzad said. No attacker's body was found, Nekzad said, leading police to believe that the attack was detonated remotely. A police officer at the scene, Mohammad Amin, said he saw the truck before it exploded, and that it was loaded with bags and a large rocket launcher. He said the attack didn't appear to be a suicide bombing. "That rocket launcher was aimed toward the police chief's headquarters," said Amin. "He tried to hit it with all those rockets, but when the third explosion happened the truck was destroyed." This year has been the deadliest in Afghanistan since the 2001 US-led invasion. More than 6,300 people have been killed in insurgency-related violence, according to an Associated Press tally of figures from Western and Afghan officials.


As I made for church this morning, I could not help but notice that hardly beyond my temporary abode, I could count 5 churches within the space of 50 yards.
This was no church district like some industrial or a Business Park, but a non-descript residential area with a few corner shops and a prominent fast food restaurant, to allow a liberty of description I rarely give to those places and a busy street running into a junction.
Whilst, each church had some highfalutin spiritual name, with a few of the usual suspects headed by some Nigerian folk, I could not but wonder about the variance in doctrine, dogma, diktat and culture that precipitated the deluge of mushroom churches all around London in grand buildings, converted garages, school halls or strange shelters that we so need that many.
Now, the revelations of Scripture might vary as one might see the dispersion of light through a prism depending on the angle of observation, but is the perspective so different that each person who seems to have the hunch must have their own church and following?
More so, I am concerned about the brain drain that this spate of churches has brought on society, I am of the opinion that many who eventually decide to enter some religious ministry is of probably some other more useful talent and ability, a professional with a different first vocation that probably has had a lot more to contribute to their field of expertise before they withdrew their services for this venture for souls.
I make bold to say that leaders of these outfits do have innate abilities of study, research, standards, articulation and communication that the wider society can so benefit from that we are now missing.
Academics with knowledge and perspective able to mentor impressionable young minds to excellence and genius, sometimes they could also be the level heads in dispute resolution, all withdrawn from our sadly moribund institutions that education is failing graduands at all levels.
Medical practitioners with skills that our hospitals need, considering how someone opined recently though without reference that a church in Nigeria had produced more pastors than Nigeria had produced doctors since independence.
I cannot corroborate that assertion, but when we read of health statistics and outcomes in our medical establishments that look like a published account of the road to a hellish existence, you wonder why good doctors are not in hospitals but in churches.
Engineers that we need for projects for growth and development such that me might not need foreign expertise to man the simplest activities; the engineers with their sense of precision, attention to detail and particularity have left our buildings, bridges, roads and infrastructure in the hands of others either overburdened or ignorant of what to do, some of our best engineers are building spiritual bridges to heaven.
Accountants with an eye on the figures, the costs, the budgets, gatekeepers on the judicious use of capital by reason of checks and audits, besides the ethical and principled perspective these career migrants could bring now totting up the accounts on God's bank account in the church.
This is not to say that professions are not well manned, but we cannot ignore what has become the religious soakaway of talent where people who have a calling and gift for the society and the communities they exist in have deserted this great calling and crowded into the religious business.
This should also be bothersome because many of these crossover professionals to religion do not have formal seminary training apart from adapting the fundamentals of their profession to religious ends.
It is understandable that many professions do not offer great financial reward as it does seem that churches with the crowds that can attract depending of the charisma and the spectacular draw of the leader can become a banking breaking venture with returns that make the eyes water.
Peddling promises like croupiers in the casino of God, the followers are inspired by good talk to gamble on the assurance of better returns than any monetary system can offer, the spectre of hope dangled in sight but just a bit out of reach to keep the lure engaging enough with it being attainable.
The mushroom churches also appear to have leaders that belong to no formal or established religious hierarchy, they have absented themselves from oversight of independent authority or have extricated themselves by schism from their mother congregations that they are no more accountable to any church organisation, authority or the flock that they oversee, they metamorphose from men of God to gods of men and with that comes error and more opprobrium upon the whole institution of Christianity because there is no order.
We need to get some talcum powder and antihistamine for our itching ears, our desire to seek out those who make us too comfortable to check ourselves or our leadership on the core principles of the faiths we have espoused that we become lobotomised flock conferring infallibility on our leadership excusing every indefensible thing out of dread, shame or embarrassment.
It goes without need for much reason that these churches or religious establishments will first become lightning rods for public criticism and before long politicians might get interested and it would be a great pleasure to see these mushroom churches exterminated like vermin for they have become a pestilence giving haven to duplicitous leadership that act with impunity without consequence.
Let us reason about what this means for us as individuals, the way we congregate and the people we allow to hold sway in leadership over us with question or curiosity – it is an unhealthy state of affairs and repugnant beyond words.

Launching JustJustice book with powerful calls to action – plus all the photos and tweets
Editor: Melissa SweetAuthor: Marie McInerneyon: November 28, 2016 In: #JustJustice, Indigenous health, public health
Marie McInerney writes:
At the launch of the #JustJustice book in Sydney on Sunday, politicians and policy makers were urged to "read and absorb" its advice for stopping the over-incarceration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Professor Tom Calma AO, Chancellor of the University of Canberra, told the packed launch at Gleebooks that everyone in the room had a responsibility to bring the issue of over-incarceration to the attention of their MPs.
He suggested sending a copy of the book – which is freely available online – to politicians.
"They need to understand this is not an issue that is someone else's problem," he said.
The Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has no excuse for not reading the book – which has already had more than 2,700 downloads.
Dr Megan Williams, a descendant of the Wiradjuri people and a #JustJustice team member, hand-delivered a Christmas copy to his electorate office in Edgecliffe today, and met with a very cordial welcome from a staff member.
In a Periscope interview outside the PM's office, Williams said the #JustJustice team offered the book to him as a way to enliven the current National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Plan and to meet closing the gap targets as well as commitments under the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. (Watch the clip here and at the bottom of the post).
"Very best wishes for the festive season and we do hope you take the time to read this," she said.
It was a message also taken up by her #JustJustice colleague Summer May Finlay in this clip, urging the PM to use his "listening ears". (Also watch the clip at the end of this post).
Many of those attending the launch also signed a Call to Action, urging federal, state and territory governments to act, in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, to stop the over-incarceration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, "as a matter of urgency".
Croakey readers are invited to download the 242-page e-version and to take up Calma's call to spread the word, in circulating the link widely, encouraging libraries to stock the book, teachers and educators to use it, and politicians to read it. We would also love to see the book and contributors featuring at writers' festivals around the country.
The book compiles more than 90 articles from more than 70 contributors published over the past 18 months at Croakey since more than 300 donors contributed to the crowdfunding campaign that concluded in mid-2015.
Warm thanks to contributors who attended the launch, including Roxanne Moore (who was also present at the early discussions leading to the birth of #JustJustice in early 2015), Richard Weston, Sharon Payne, Jason Wing, Eugene Schofield-Georgeson, Dr Ruth Armstrong, Sam Harkus, Tiffany Overall and Heather McCormack.
Calma said it was important the book privileges the voices and expertise of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and organisations and takes a solutions focus. He also highlighted the importance of youth – a message powerfully underscored by the Acknowledgement of Country, given by 13-year-old Mannix Thomson, a descendant of the Wiradjuri people.
Calma also revealed that the Commonwealth Department of Health is establishing a social and cultural determinants unit that will come into effect from 1 January 2017 and will be trialed for six months.
"The unit will comprise executive level staff from major departments to operationalise the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Plan Implementation Plan," he said, adding that the National Health Leadership Forum will have a role in the new unit.
The launch featured a panel discussion facilitated by #Just Justice team member Summer May Finlay, with Yvonne Weldon, a Wiradjuri woman from Cowra with ties to the Kalare/ Lachlan and Murrumbidgee Rivers in NSW, who is Chairperson of the Metropolitan Aboriginal Land Council located in Redfern.
Also on the panel were Michael Doyle, an early career Aboriginal researcher in the alcohol and drug field with a particular interest in prisoner health, who is in the final year of his PhD at the Kirby Institute, UNSW, and Dr Megan Williams.
Panelists stressed the need for greater accountability of governments
A strong message from the panel was that governments continue to ignore countless reports and investigations that all recommend how to address over-incarceration, and that governments must stop implementing programs to which Indigenous people and communities are not party.
"From our perspective, if we don't have Aboriginal people leading the way, we don't actually have the way at all," said Weldon.
Calma highlighted a number of stories about the failure of governments to either grasp new policy solutions, like Justice Reinvestment programs, or to provide proper funding to programs that are proven to be successful, such as the Custody Notification Service in New South Wales and the ACT.
"We're not short of information (on solutions)," he said. "What government needs to do is work with us to implement them."
Prisons had been shown to be "extremely costly, damaging and ultimately ineffective at reducing crime," he said.
Governments needed new and innovative approaches to address underlying socio-economic disadvantage such as poverty, poor education, mental health, drug and alcohol abuse, high unemployment and disability that "are the hallmark of crime and imprisonment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
"You hear stories, and they're true, where some people would rather be inside prison than outside: that's a real sad indictment on society that people feel safer inside prison," he said.
Michael Doyle and Yvonne Weldon
Another strong message from panelists was the vital need for better post-prison support to stop high rates of recidivism among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander prisoners, who often enter or return to prison as a result of basic breaches in paying fines or on remand and then miss out, as a result, on rehabilitation programs and post-prison supports.
Yvonne Weldon said: "If that navigation to that (post-prison) pathway is not clear, then the cycle will not change because all we are creating is pathways to come back…the exit point becomes the entry point."
Williams said the #JustJustice series did not just put forward solutions for better programs but also highlighted "the need to insist on accountability" for legislation and policies that promise better support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the justice system.
"All of the examples in this book help us to meet legislative demands as well as policy principles," she said. "Some of the policies at federal and state levels are beautiful; we are saying 'here are examples to enliven those policy statements, let's get on with it!'.
Doyle told the launch about his research work with young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander male prisoners, interviewing them about what they thought would work best for them in alcohol and drug treatment. He said: "it's stunning it's the first time anyone has really done that."
His big takeaway message was the need for young Indigenous men to have more role models.
"It shouldn't be a strange thing to come across an Aboriginal person in a university but be all too normal in the prison system," he said, saying how the prisoners he worked with were "fascinated" to meet an Aboriginal man doing what he was doing.
"At the end, I would ask if there were any questions; they'd say, 'yes, how do you get into uni?'"
In response to a question by #JustJustice contributor Sharon Payne, the panel also urged more effort to address mainstream media perceptions that family violence in Aboriginal communities is caused only by Aboriginal people and that FASD is an Aboriginal problem.
Calma urged those in the room to challenge the stereotypes often perpetrated by the mainstream media, to read the #JustJustice series, to look at NITV or SBS "to get another perspective", and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander scholars to start writing and speaking out more, on platforms like The Conversation.
"We are too silent as a peoples," he said. "Hopefully this book can give people the courage to stand up and write the good stories that challenge the orthodoxy."
Yvonne Weldon urged for Australia to confront racism, saying that her daughter's school "believes Australia wasn't invaded". Stressing the importance for healing, she warned about the implication of bringing up a new generation "angry because of what they have lived through, their parents and grandparents".
Williams said another important message of the #JustJustice series was that it offers solutions for non-Indigenous communities that suffer over-incarceration and other issues.
She challenged non-Indigenous Australians to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people by distributing information that can lead to policy breakthroughs and by "learning more about the culture and country that you're from."
"Become au fait with the (Indigenous) names, be comfortable with who you are as a citizen, sharing this land with this unreconciled history," she said. "It's not easy to make that process till you fall in love with Aboriginal people and culture."
"Our solutions are for every community and lots of us are multicultural."
Quoting Professor Lisa Jackson Pulver, she said: "if you get it right for black fellas you get it right for everyone."

Innоvаtіvе Fіlm Cіtу іѕ an аmuѕеmеnt раrk located іn Bidadi, аbоut 50 Kilometers оutѕіdе Bаngаlоrе. It іѕ оnе of the new thеmе раrkѕ thаt аrrіvеd іn Bаngаlоrе in 2008. Dоn't be fооlеd bу thе nаmе thоugh.
Thіѕ thеmе park hаѕ аttrасtіоnѕ such as a wаx museum, dіnоѕаur museum, a special ѕесtіоn саllеd 'Cаrtооn сіtу' fоr kіdѕ, a mіrrоr mаzе, 4D movies аnd mоrе. Tісkеtѕ аrе a bіt pricey thоugh. You'll hаvе tо ѕhеll оut bеtwееn Rs 300 – Rs 1000 реr person dереndіng оn whаt аttrасtіоn you wаnt to see іnѕіdе. Thеrе аrе dесеnt fооd соurtѕ where уоu саn hаvе your lunch оr grab a bіtе.

One of the best sightseeing in Bangalore sites is the less рорulаr hill-station which іѕ lосаtеd near Krіѕhnаgіrі town оn thе Bаngаlоrе-Chеnnаі nаtіоnаl hіghwау. It іѕ about 150 kilometers frоm Bangalore аnd аrоund 250 Kіlоmеtеrѕ frоm Chennai.

Thе hotels gеt сrоwdеd durіng weekend and hоlіdауѕ.
Hоgеnаkkаl literally mеаnѕ ѕmоkіng rосkѕ (in Tamil). Thе fаllѕ соmрrіѕе оf a numer оf ѕmаllеr wаtеrfаllѕ that make up the bеаutу of the place. Hоgеnаkkаl is located in Dharmapuri district аnd іѕ about 120 Kmѕ from Bangalore. Perfect for a dау-trір, you can drive tо here оvеr a Sаturdау and gеt a dау'ѕ off tо unwіnd.
The mоѕt popular activity in Hogenakkal іѕ the hоt oil mаѕѕаgе. Fоr about Rѕ 50, lосаl mаѕѕеurѕ gіvе you a 5-mіnutе full bоdу massage. Thоugh іt seems ԛuісk, thіѕ short durаtіоn іѕ еnоugh tо lооѕеn tіght ѕроtѕ іn уоur bоdу. After the mаѕѕаgе, a ԛuісk shower undеr the fаllѕ іѕ соnѕіdеrеd to bе thеrареutіс.
Yоu саn also tаkе a rіdе in the fаmоuѕ 'thерра' оr соrасlе boats which take уоu around thе Kаvеrі river that fоrmѕ Hogenakkal fаllѕ. Yоu can also tаѕtе local delicacies оf frіеd fіѕh, раnіуаrаm (rісе саkеѕ) or Pоlі (Indіаn ѕwееt).
Stауіng орtіоnѕ аrе mіnіmаl in Hоgеnаkkаl. Hоtеl Tаmіlnаdu, run bу thе Tamilnadu tоurіѕm department, is the оnlу dесеnt оnе іn tоwn. Durіng the tourist ѕеаѕоn (Sерtеmbеr – January) уоu mау need tо bооk іn аdvаnсе. Yоu саn аlѕо stay іn Dharmapuri whеrе ѕtауіng options аrе bеttеr. Frоm Dhаrmарurі іt іѕ a 50 Kms drіvе tо Hоgеnаkkаl.
Shіvаnаѕаmudrаm (sometimes саllеd Shimsha falls) іѕ home tо a соuрlе оf lovely waterfalls while nеіghbоrіng Tаlаkаdu рrеѕеrvеѕ hіѕtоrу іn thе form of ѕubmеrgеd tеmрlеѕ.

You саn tаkе bath under the falls оr ѕреnd ѕоmе tіmе frоlісkіng іn thе pond nеаr the falls. Both fаllѕ аrе lосаtеd about 5 Kmѕ bеtwееn each оthеr. Durіng thе monsoon ѕеаѕоn, the fаllѕ are іn full flow аnd рrеѕеnt a majestic ѕіght.

What is a human resource manager to do when new or current employees proudly proclaim their use of recreational drugs? The answer may simply be to continue with what you have been doing.
Recreational use of marijuana is now legal in California, but the new law states that employers still have the right to maintain a drug and alcohol-free workplace. Employers can keep policies that prohibit the use of cannabis by employees and prospective workers, according to a Los Angeles Times.
We supply drug testing services ( that include alcohol testing} for clients around the world. in the past, we blogged about the Canadian random testing rules and ban.
The Supreme Court of Canada released its decision on random alcohol testing in the workplace on June 14, 2013 in the Communications, Energy and Paper workers Union of Canada, Local 30 v.

ADA, Okla. - The Tarleton-East Central series that was originally set to begin on Thursday, Mar. 20 in Ada, Okla. has been moved to Friday and Saturday due to wet weather in Oklahoma. The two teams will play doubleheaders on both days with the first games set to begin at noon.
Tarleton (12-17, 7-13 LSC) is coming off a series loss (1-3) to Southeastern Oklahoma in Stephenville last weekend. East Central (11-18, 8-12 LSC) was swept (0-4) in their weekend series against Abilene Christian in Abilene.
The Texans are led at the plate by Charles Desmarias with a .421 batting average. He also leads the team with 48 hits and a .693 slugging percentage. He and Greg Sillivent both lead the club with seven home runs each. Sillivent (.357) leads the squad with 39 runs batted in, 31 runs scored and three triples.
The Texans are fourth in the conference, batting .340 as a team.


If it's Thursday at 6pm and 8.05pm that means one thing….Europa League football live on television. The poor relation to the Champions League takes centre stage on a night that in the old days was free of live football but now for some teams and fans it is the highlight of the week.
Arsene Wenger probably never in his worst nightmares believed Arsenal would be playing in the competition while he was in charge. He got the club into the Champions League every season but now his has to deal with the culture shock of matches like the away fixture tonight against BATE Borisov in the Europa League.
On paper Everton have a straightforward match at home to Apollon Limassol in the Europa League but football is played on grass. Ronald Koeman has spent a fortune of somebody else's money to get Everton into the Champions League. However, his side are not functioning and getting into the Europa League again looks beyond them at this stage. This looks like a banana skin of a fixture which could end in a DRAW.
The Horse To Untangle The Puzzle!
Newmarket is the headquarters of Flat racing in Britain and combines Classics with ordinary sport. Today the meeting is somewhere in the middle with a Listed race and Group 3 contest.

Vincent Arroyo Meets Hector Sanchez On Sept. 9 ShoBox
Seeking a World Title Shot, Unbeaten Cruiserweight Lateef Kayode
Faces Felix Cora, Jr., in Co-Feature at Grand Casino Hinckley, Hinckley, Minn.;
First Of Five ShoBox Events in Eight Weeks Begins at 11 p.m. ET/PT
NEW YORK (Aug. 31, 2011) – When last seen on ShoBox: The New Generation, Vincent "Vinsanity" Arroyo scored an exciting upset majority decision over then-unbeaten welterweight prospect Willie Nelson.
On Friday, Sept. 9 at 11 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast) live on SHOWTIME®, Arroyo (11-1, 7 KOs), of South Bronx, N.Y., returns as the headliner in a high stakes, crossroads match against Puerto Rican amateur standout Hector "El Flaco" Sanchez (19-1, 9 KOs), of Rio Piedras, P.R. The 143-pound max, 10-round clash will move one fighter a step closer to contender status while the other will take an equally impactful step back.
In the telecast's co-feature, popular ShoBox alumnus and hard-hitting Nigerian cruiserweight Lateef Kayode (17-0, 14 KOs), of Hollywood, Calif., will risk his unblemished record and trajectory toward a world title shot against southpaw Felix "Bad News" Cora, Jr. (22-5-2, 12 KOs), of Galveston, Tex., in a 10-rounder from Grand Casino Hinckley in Hinckley, Minn.
The Gary Shaw Productions-promoted event is the first of five ShoBox telecasts in eight weeks. The other telecasts – all Friday nights – are Sept. 30, Oct. 7, Oct. 21 and Oct. 28.
The aggressive-minded Arroyo, 24, is in peak form coming off two consecutive wins over previously undefeated boxers. Before dropping the 6-foot-3 Nelson three times en route to winning by the scores of 75-73 twice and 74-74 on April 8, the 5-foot-8 boxer-brawler rallied from the brink of defeat to register a dramatic eighth-round knockout over Jeremy Bryan (then 13-0) on April 17, 2010.
Entering the final round against Bryan, Arroyo clearly needed a knockout to win. Through seven sessions, he'd won a total of one round on one of the three judges' scorecards. But he came out charging and firing punches in the eighth and staggered Bryan with a left hook. With the former two-time National Golden Gloves champion slumped against the ropes, Arroyo scored a knockdown with a left hook and right-uppercut combination. Bryan, out cold, was counted out at 1:43.
"I learned to dig down in that fight,'' said Arroyo, whose father was a Golden Gloves champion. "It was just a matter of me doing what I'm supposed to do. I know I'm never going to stop pushing."
As for facing much taller opponents, Arroyo says, "Height doesn't do anything. I'm a warrior. If I come to get you, height won't save you. I always want to test my will. They call me 'Vinsanity' for a reason."
Arroyo's lone loss came on a six-round decision to Goossen Tutor prospect Mike Dallas, Jr. on Sept. 12, 2009. Though behind on points, Arroyo nearly had Dallas out in the final round.
After fighting in the amateurs and competing in the Golden Gloves — Arroyo owns an amateurs win over Danny Jacobs — he turned pro at the age of 18 on Aug. 17, 2005, in Rochester, N.Y., and won his initial nine starts. The Sanchez fight was originally scheduled for last June 11 on ShoBox, but Arroyo pulled out of the fight after injuring an ankle a week before the bout.
Sanchez, 25, a vaunted member of Team Puerto Rico, needs a victory to move forward and jump-start his career. This will be just his fourth start since December 2008 and first since winning by 2:09, first-round TKO over Nelson Sanchez on Aug. 21, 2010, in the Dominican Republic.
A four-time Puerto Rican national champ and 2000 Junior Olympic Bronze medalist, Sanchez compiled an amateur record of 97-10. He planned to try out for the 2004 Olympics, but opted to turn pro instead.
After going 18-0 at the outset of a career that began March 4, 2005, Sanchez suffered his only defeat on a startling fifth-round TKO to Cleotis Pendarvis two fights ago on April 2, 2010, in Las Vegas.
Sanchez scored two knockdowns in the first and dominated the initial three rounds, but veteran southpaw Pendarvis rallied in the fourth and scored a knockdown in the fifth. An unsteady Sanchez got up but the referee, Russell Mora, halted matters at 2:29 as Sanchez protested.
At 6-foot-1, Sanchez is two inches shorter than Nelson but still tall for a welterweight. A solid puncher, his most noteworthy triumph came on an eight-round decision over former world champion DeMarcus "Chop Chop'' Corley on April 10, 2009. It was the sole ring appearance of the year for Sanchez, who also had a noteworthy KO2 win over Mexican standout Albert Rodriguez (8-0-1) on Oct. 8, 2008.
Sanchez, who began to box at the age of 13 and went pro at 18, is at his best when he can utilize his long arms and box from the outside. Like many young Puerto Ricans, his idol is Felix "Tito'' Trinidad.
Kayode is the only cruiserweight contender in the world ranked in the top five by all four major boxing organizations. He is No. 1 in the World Boxing Association (WBA), No. 3 in the World Boxing Organization (WBO), No. 4 in the World Boxing Council (WBC) and No. 5 in the IBF. If triumphant against Cora, Kayode could be next up to challenge WBA champion Guillermo Jones.
"I already believe I'm the best cruiserweight in the world. I'm just waiting for my chance to prove it,'' said Kayode, who has developed and honed his skills on Shobox. This will be his fifth appearance.
The Freddie Roach-trained Kayode, 28, will try to resume his knockout-winning ways after going the 10-round distance in his last two starts, both on ShoBox in Santa Ynez, Calif., first by Nicholas Iannuzzi on Feb. 4, 2011, and in his last start by Matt Godfrey on June 10. Before Iannuzzi, the 6-foot-2 Kayode's previous 13 fights, all won by knockout, lasted a total of 43 rounds.
"Going the distance is fine as long as I win,'' said Kayode, who won a four-round decision in his pro debut on Aug. 15, 2008. "The experience I get going 10 rounds and knowing I can go 10 is invaluable. I learn from them so when my time comes, I'll be ready. I never go in looking for a knockout anyway.''
While the 6-foot-2 Kayode will be favored and would prefer to win explosively, Cora is anything but a gimme. The record of the five fighters who defeated him was 98-3-1 entering their respective fights.
The 6-foot-tall Cora, 31, is a durable boxer with decent skills. A former contestant on The Contender television series, he's hung tough with much tougher than Kayode. He's gone 12 rounds in his last two outings, losing to unbeaten local favorite Pawel Kolodziej in a bout in Poland for the WBA International title last March 5 and to German Enad Licina in an IBF elimination bout on Nov. 13, 2010, in England.
Cora has won a couple minor titles at cruiserweight. He outpointed Michael Simms to capture the United States Boxing Association (USBA) crown in June 2004 and registered a ninth-round TKO over Arthur Williams to garner the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) belt in October 2005.
Bernardo Osuna will call the ShoBox action from ringside with Steve Farhood and Antonio Tarver serving as expert analysts. Gordon Hall is the executive producer of ShoBox with Richard Gaughan producing and Rick Phillips directing.
Future Book: A glimpse at the upcoming four ShoBox fight cards after Sept.9:
A WBC welterweight elimination fight between undefeated, No. 1-ranked Ajose Olusegun (29-0, 14 KOs) of Nigeria and No. 6 Ali Chebah (35-1, 28 KOs) of France will highlight a Sept. 30 card at Chumash Casino Resort in Santa Ynez. The 12th-ranked lightweight in the WBO, Colombia's exciting, hard-hitting Darley Perez (22-0, 17 KOs) will make his ShoBox debut against southpaw Marvin Quintero (22-3, 18 KOs) of Mexico in the co-feature co-promoted by Shaw and DiBella Entertainment.
In a quintessential ShoBox main event on Oct. 7, Ugandan Sharif Bogere (20-0, 12 KOs) of Las Vegas takes on Dominican Francisco Contreras (16-0, 13 KOs) of Irvington, N.J., in a clash of unbeaten lightweights presented by Golden Boy Promotions.
Arguably the No. 1 super middle prospect in the world, Edwin "La Bomba" Rodriguez (19-0, 14 KOs) of Worcester, Mass., will face an opponent to be announced in the DiBella-promoted Oct. 21 main event.
On Oct. 28, Goossen Tutor Promotions will promote a ShoBox card on the eve of the Super Six World Boxing Classic culminating bout: The Final between WBA Super Middleweight titlist Andre Ward and his WBC counterpart Carl Froch.
All matchups and venues for the aforementioned fight cards will be formally announced soon.

2015 Fight of the Year – Francisco Vargas vs Takashi Miura
The WBC World Super Featherweight title bout between Francisco Vargas and Takashi Miura came on one of the biggest boxing stages of 2015, as the bout served as the HBO pay-per-view's co-main event on November 21st, in support of Miguel Cotto vs Saul Alvarez.
Miura entered the fight with a (29-2-2) record and he was making the fifth defense of his world title, while Vargas entered the fight with an undefeated mark of (22-0-1) in what was his first world title fight. Both men had a reputation for all-out fighting, with Miura especially earning high praise for his title defense in Mexico where he defeated Sergio Thompson in a fiercely contested battle.
The fight started out hotly contested, and the intensity never let up. Vargas seemed to win the first two rounds, but by the fourth round, Miura seemed to pull ahead, scoring a knock-down and fighting with a lot of confidence. After brawling the first four rounds, Miura appeared to settle into a more technical approach. Rounds 5 and 6 saw the pendulum swing back towards Vargas, as he withstood Miura's rush to open the fifth round and the sixth round saw both men exchanging hard punches.
The big swinging continued, and though Vargas likely edged Miura in rounds 5 and 6, Vargas' face was cut in at least two spots and Miura started to assert himself again in rounds 7 and 8. Miura was beginning to grow in confidence while it appeared that Vargas was beginning to slow down, and Miura appeared to hurt Vargas at the end of the 8th round.
Vargas turned the tide again at the start of the ninth round, scoring a knock down with an uppercut and a straight right hand that took Miura's legs and sent him to the canvas. Purely on instinct, Miura got back up and continued to fight, but Vargas was landing frequently and with force. Referee Tony Weeks stepped in to stop the fight at the halfway point of round 9 as Miura was sustaining a barrage of punches.
Miura still had a minute and a half to survive if he was going to get out of the round, and it was clear that he was not going to stop fighting.
A back and forth battle of wills between two world championship level fighters, Takashi Miura versus "El Bandido" Vargas wins the 2015 Fight of the Year.

Jan 9 in Germany – Feigenbutz and De Carolis To Settle Score
This coming Saturday, January 9th, the stage is set at the Baden Arena in Offenburg, Germany for a re-match between Vincent Feigenbutz and Giovanni De Carolis. The highly anticipated re-match is set to air on SAT.1 in Germany, and Feigenbutz will once again be defending his GBU and interim WBA World titles at Super Middleweight.
The first meeting between the two was less than three months ago, on October 17th and that meeting saw Feigenbutz controversially edge De Carolis on the judge's cards by scores of (115-113, 114-113 and 115-113). De Carolis scored a flash knock down in the opening round, and he appeared to outbox Feigenbutz in the early going, but the 20 year old German champion came on in the later rounds.
The first bout is described as one of the most crowd-pleasing bouts of the year in Germany, and De Carolis and many observers felt that the Italian had done enough to win.
De Carolis told German language website RAN.DE that he was more prepared for the re-match, and that due to the arrogance Feigenbutz displayed in the aftermath of the first fight, he was confident that he had won over some of the audience. Though De Carolis fell short of predicting victory, he promised a re-vamped strategy tailored to what he has learned about Feigenbutz, whom he termed immature and inexperienced.
The stage is set for Feigenbutz vs De Carolis 2, this Saturday January 9th in Offenburg, Germany. If you can get to the live event do it, if not you have SAT.1 in Germany airing the fights, and The Boxing Channel right back here for full results.
2015 Knock Out of the Year – Saul Alvarez KO's James Kirkland
On May 9th of 2015, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez delivered a resonant knock-out of James Kirkland on HBO that wins the 2015 KO of the Year.
The knock-out itself came in the third round, after slightly more than two minutes of action. The end came when Alvarez delivered a single, big right hand that caught Kirkland on the jaw and left him flat on his back after spinning to the canvas.Alvarez was clearly the big star heading into the fight. The fight was telecast by HBO for free just one week after the controversial and disappointing Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao fight, and Alvarez was under pressure to deliver the type of finish that people were going to talk about. Kirkland was happy to oblige Alvarez, taking it right to Alvarez from the start. Kirkland's aggression saw him appear to land blows that troubled the young Mexican in the early going. Alvarez played good defense, and he floored Kirkland in the first round, displaying his power and his technique in knocking down an aggressive opponent.
However, Kirkland kept coming at Alvarez and the fight entered the third round with both men working hard and the feeling that the fight would not go the distance. Kirkland continued to move forward, keeping "Canelo" against the ropes and scoring points with a barrage of punches while looking for an opening.
At around the two minute mark, Alvarez landed an uppercut that sent Kirkland to the canvas again. Kirkland got up, but it was clear that he did not have his legs under him. Kirkland was going to try to survive the round, but Alvarez had an opportunity to close out the fight. The question was would he take it?
Alvarez closed in on Kirkland, putting his opponent's back to the ropes. Kirkland was hurt, but he was still dangerous, pawing with punches and loading up for one big shot.
But it was the big shot "Canelo" threw that ended the night. Kirkland never saw it coming, as he was loading up with a huge right hand of his own. The right Alvarez threw cracked Kirkland in the jaw, and his eyes went blank. His big right hand whizzed harmlessly over the head of a ducking Alvarez, providing the momentum for the spin that left Kirkland prone on the canvas.
Saul "Canelo" Alvarez went on to defeat Miguel Cotto in his second fight of 2015 and he is clearly one of boxing's biggest stars heading into 2016. On May 9th Alvarez added another reel to his highlight film when he knocked out James Kirkland with the 2015 "Knock Out of the Year".

Right Coast Pizza, BandWagon Magazine receive backlash after controversial ad
Kelsy Schlotthauer
kschlotthauer@greeleytribune.com
Right Coast Pizza, 811 8th St. (Kelsy Schlotthauer/kschlotthauer@greeleytribune.com)
A Greeley pizzeria's advertisement in a regional music magazine is attracting unintended attention.
The ad for Right Coast Pizza, published in the November issue of BandWagon Magazine, shows what appears to be a white female pilgrim offering an open box of pizza to a Native American man in traditional dress at a Thanksgiving meal. The text in the woman's speech bubbles makes light of the plight that befell Native American populations when European settlers arrived in the region.
One critic, the Northern Colorado Latino Foundation, called the ad racist in a statement on Facebook and said it turned "the genocide of Native Americans into a very inappropriate display of derogatory humor."
In the post, NCLF Board President Joe Molina asked the magazine to take the experience "seriously" and "acknowledge their mistake."
The magazine's publisher, Ely Corliss, could not be reached for comment Sunday. BandWagon posted a statement to Facebook, apologizing to "anyone that was offended."
"Those of you who responded so strongly to that ad are a part of the same community that we are, and your voices are valid," the post stated. "The ad is insensitive and both the magazine and our clients regret ever printing it. We think it's eye-opening for everyone involved, which ultimately is a good thing. The creative team behind this advertisement went too far and both the client and our publisher deeply regret our lack of quality control in letting this go to print."
While a few commenters argued the ad fit the BandWagon's audience, the apology was mostly met with more critique from social media users, and the company replied to some individual commenters to squash misleading information.
In those replies, the company stated a contracted graphic designer designed the ad before the ad was sent to the client, Right Coast Pizza, for approval, and the magazine accepted full responsibility for the ad. When a commenter suggested the ad was a result of a "Caption this" competition, the company responded: "There was no 'vote' within our company. As we stated, we (many different members of our team) often ask for public opinion. In this instance, unfortunately it lead to an extremely distasteful ad. We will be fine tuning our staff and communicating as a team better to ensure this doesn't happen again."
The magazine stated it had terminated the graphic designer's contract, removed the online version of the ad and had a team working to recover and recycle the current issues.
Right Coast Pizza Owner Justin Vogel said like always, the magazine designed the ad and sent it to him for approval, a process he said happens solely over text message. Vogel said he was too busy to pitch any ideas for the ad for the November issue, and the magazine came up with an idea of a Thanksgiving scene with pizza, which to Vogel, seemed to be simple and fit the season.
When it came time to approve the ad via text, Vogel said he merely glanced at the picture, saw the pizza, and approved it in a busy haste. He said he doesn't even remember reading the text in the speech bubbles.
"It's totally my fault for not catching it," Vogel said.
He said the first time he actually read the ad was when BandWagon contacted him Thursday about the backlash.
Vogel said he didn't think it was racist, per say, because there was no malice behind it, but he's trying not to make excuses because "it shouldn't have happened."
His company posted a statement to its Facebook page, as well, saying it was also trying to remove as many copies as possible.
"The magazine creates ads for us every month and we give them artistic freedom when designing the content," the post stated. "This was an oversight in our approval process for not recognizing the full impact this would have. Bandwagon and ourselves try to keep our ads edgy and by no means did we intend to offend anyone. We sincerely apologize for the lack of awareness on our part and for the insensitive design of the ad. This was a poor choice of words and we regret that something like this made it to print.
"We hope you'll understand that this was an honest mistake and we are truly sorry to the Native American Community and anyone else this may have offended."
The restaurant, 811 8th St., said it would review ad approval policies, and Vogel said he'd like to run a type of apology ad.
In replies to commenters on Facebook, BandWagon outlined the changes it will make: "We will also be running every ad through upper management for a third approval (designer, client, upper management), to ensure we approve of all material that goes to print before it's approved. We understand this doesn't erase what happened, and ultimately take full responsibility. There really are no excuses."
NCLF Executive Director Lisa Jameson-Shea added in NCLF's post that the Native American community in Greeley is more than "1,500 strong within our workforce, schools and neighborhoods."
"At a time in America where hate crime is on the rise we at NCLF believe in acceptance and understanding as the key to healing," the post stated. "Please do not dismiss the feelings of a marginalized community and take the time to actually understand the root of what is offending people and start a discussion to heal and learn."
NCLF Board President Joe Molina, who also operates the Joe Molina Gallery and Studios in downtown Greeley, organized an event on Facebook called "Let's talk about discrimination and cultural insensitivity!" for 7 p.m. Monday at the gallery, 930 8th Ave.
Molina could not be reached for comment Sunday.
