Coach Watson cannot emphasize enough "fundamentals" as you cannot build anything from an empire to a team to an individual player without the proper ground work or fundamentals. Skills development along with fundamental education of basketball schemes and court awareness should be and are worked on at every practice Coach Watson is involved with. Coach Watson believes the game of basketball has changed completely with regards to women's basketball. Coach Watson focuses on transition basketball on both ends of the floor challenging his players offensively and defensively to use the skill sets they develop to push and press the ball with explosive confidence. Coach Watson believes hard work and the commitment to getting better are the ingredients for success, with that said he also believes that players must be able to fail before they can succeed without being over penalized for trying and testing their skills.
Joe Thompson: (6th Grade)
My philosophy about coaching in general (and basketball specifically) is that team sports are the best opportunity for school- aged children to gain an understanding of the teamwork and life skills necessary to succeed in life. Winning is not my goal, it is a by-product of having a joy and energy for the game and making good decisions on and off the court. Players perform best when they know they are valued, when they are given positive reinforcement for the things they do well, and when they are given direct instruction on how to compensate for the skills that are less developed. Players at this age and skill level should be developing a high Basketball IQ. They should know all the rules, and they should understand situations and anticipate the types of offensive and defensive adjustments necessary to compete in a game situation. Not only should players at this age be developing a love of the game, but they should be developing a respect for their opponents and the benefits true sportsmanship offers throughout life.

I am eager to work with the 5th grade girls to improve their skills and knowledge of the game.
Leland Moore: (6th Grade and will assist with 7th Grade)
Coach Moore is in his second year of his second run with the Centerville Girls High School Basketball Program as a Varsity Assistant. Previously Coach Moore has worked with all levels of the Centerville Program from 2002 – 2009. Additionally, Coach Moore has had extensive involvement in AAU coaching with the Potomac Valley Vogues and Western Fairfax Mustangs dating back to 2001. He has been involved in AAU coaching at multiple age groups, from regional 5th and 6th grade teams; to High School age Showcase Teams competing at a national level in major college recruiting tournaments such as Deep South Classic and Penn State Blue Chip. As part of his duties at Centerville, he was in charge of curriculum development for the basketball camps sponsored by Centerville in 2002-2004.
Coach Moore has been part of a revitalization of the Centerville program; building upon its recent overall success to take a team that had 7 district loses in 2011-2012 to a Concorde District Championship with only 1 district loss in 2012-2013 season and making their first Washington Post Top 20 appearance since 1995.
Coach Moore has coached and trained kids since 2001. He focuses on fundamentals regardless of the age group he is coaching. This has been reinforced when he sees players enter a high school program without the foundation to succeed. For a player to truly trust their abilities, they must have the building blocks needed to succeed. Coach Moore also understands the learning cycle of try, fail, and then succeed. A player can't succeed unless they are willing to try and the coach is willing to let them try. He also believes that you can't just tell an athlete what to do when teaching the sport. The "Why" is just as important as the "How" when instructing so that the concepts can be applied in multiple situations. The combination of fundamental skills and situational awareness provide key assets to the developing player that makes them valuable to not only their current team, but provides the basis for future success. When coaching younger players, Coach Moore's focus is to give them the skill set and experience necessary so they are trusted and capable when on the floor in key situations later in their basketball careers.

Cliff Toma: (4th Grade Girls)

He also has coached travel for CYA D1, Herndon D1, and Reston D2 teams. This will be his first year with the Chantilly Elite Program.
Basketball is about confidence and a player develops confidence by encouragement and learning the skills necessary to perform on the court. Coach Toma focuses on teaching the fundamental skills on both sides of the ball and runs offenses with constant movement and touches. The players are encouraged to be inventive, try-out their moves, shoot, and play hard. He believes this is particularly important at the early ages when the players are learning to love the game. He does not mind dual sport players, but asks that the player be upfront and fair to both sports. On his team, players will work hard while building a team spirit and an enjoyment for the game of basketball.

Danielle Miller: (7th Grade Girls)
Coach Miller is in her second season as one of the Assistant Coaches at Centreville High School for their Girls' Varsity Basketball Program. Coach Miller has been part of the regeneration of the Centreville program; building upon its recent success to take a team that had a 14-10 season in 2011-2012, to finish the 2012-2013 season with a 24-3 record, a District Title (the first District Title the program has won in 20 years), and finishing the season as a Northern Region Semi-finalist. In 2011, Coach Miller coached as an Assistant to Coach Watson for the WFBC Mustangs U14 Show Case team competing at a national level in major college recruiting tournaments such as the Deep South Classic and the AAU-ESPN Women's Rise National Tournament. Coach Miller played 4 years of Division III basketball at Lynchburg College. Miller was a tenacious guard, who capitalized on her defensive skill set, and served as team captain for three of her four seasons. Miller grew up in Northern Virginia, where she played two years of Varsity basketball for Westfield High School.
Coach Miller has over 15 years of playing experience, 8 years at the competitive level, and has coached since 2011. She pulls largely from her playing experience to teach the intangibles of the game. She is largely defensive and rebounding focused as she feels the true heart of a player is most evident on the defensive end of the floor. Miller also focuses on teaching girls and young women how to really play basketball focusing on the values of a team, and how to react to different situations on the court. Miller's philosophy is to teach the girl's the value of hard work, while enjoying and being successful in a sport that they love.

Carly Greenlief: (7th Grade Girls)
Coach Greenlief grew up in Fairfax, where she played four years of basketball for Westfield High School and 5 years of AAU with Lessons Learned Hoops coached by Cheryl Yarbrough and Alex Harris. Coach Greenlief then attended Lynchburg College where she started all four years for their Women's Basketball Team. Greenlief was a fierce shooting guard who had a great midrange to 3-point shot. Coach Greenlief has coached 4th-6th grade girls on through the SYA house league and currently is the girl's freshmen Assistant Coach for Centreville High School.
Coach Greenlief has over 15 years of playing experience, 10 years at the competitive level. One thing she was always taught throughout her basketball career was that teams win games, not players. That fundamental fact has stuck with her throughout her life. She strives to instill that value in her players, trusting that it will help to guide them on and off the court.
Another key factor in her makeup, as a coach and former player, was the perfection and use of basketball fundamentals. She believes that playing a complete game or winning the game comes down to fundamentals. Anything from boxing out and correct defensive stance to ones follow through and bounce pass technique are points of emphasis to her. She knows that these factors, cohesively brought together with every player, will create a well-rounded and steady team.

Many of her former players have gone on to play for their respective high school teams
Coach Frongello is committed to teaching the fundamentals of play. With this solid foundation, a player can feel confident in developing their game to the next level of play. She feels that understanding "why" is just as important as knowing the "what" to do on the court. She feels that a player's greatest skill is game awareness.

I focus on the fundamentals because I believe that success is doing the little things right. I stress the importance of goal-setting and then working to achieve those goals by practice, practice, practice. It is also important to me to build confidence in my players by making sure they are not only learning, but having fun.

Pro-Beijing candidates dominate Hong Kong polls
Laws have been changed so that only pro-China 'patriots' can run the city.
Hong Kong chief executive Carrie Lam (AP)
By Zen Soo, AP
Pro-Beijing candidates have dominated Hong Kong's legislative elections, beating moderates and independents in the city's first public poll after China passed a resolution to ensure that only "patriots" could run the city.
Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said during a news conference on Monday she was "satisfied" with the election, despite a 30.2% voter turnout – the lowest since the British handed Hong Kong over to China in 1997.
She said that the number of registered voters reached 92.5%, a record high compared to the 2012 and 2016 elections, when around 70% of voters had registered.

"For registered voters, deciding whether they want to exercise their voting rights in a particular election is entirely a matter for themselves," she said.
"In this election, 1.35 million voters cast their votes. They did not just return candidates of their choice to LegCo (Hong Kong's Legislative Council), and I think it was also because of their support for the improved electoral system."
Under the new laws, the number of directly elected legislators was reduced from 35 to 20, even as the legislature was expanded from 70 to 90 seats. Most of the legislators were appointed by largely pro-Beijing bodies, ensuring that they make up the majority of the legislature.
Voter turnout was just 30.2% (AP)
All candidates were also vetted by a largely pro-Beijing committee before they could be nominated.
Ms Lam said that even if there was a high turnout rate based on "poor politics", such as the political polarisation during the period of political strife in 2019, that is "not something we should be glad to have".
The opposition camp has criticised the elections, with the largest pro-democracy party, the Democratic Party, fielding no candidates for the first time since the 1997 handover.

Ms Lam said she expects that work with the 90 legislators would continue to be "very exciting" because they have different opinions on many social issues.
She is expected to travel to Beijing later on Monday on a duty-reporting trip, which she says is to give a full account to Beijing on the latest political and economic situation in Hong Kong.
"I expect to cover a wide range of issues on this particular duty visit because through two very decisive acts of the central authorities, Hong Kong is now back on the right track of 'one country, two systems,'" she said.

This time last summer at St. Andrews, Eddie Pepperell introduced himself to the world. The English golfer shot a third-round 66, and briefly held the Open Championship lead before sending his tee shot O.B. on the Old Course's infamous Road Hole. A final-round 76 led to a T-49 finish, but the strong showing put a light on the unknown Englishman, including his Twitter account.
Despite not reading a book until age 19, Pepperell's Twitter handle illustrated an inquisitive, sagacious fellow, as well as one who owned a sharp and side-splitting wit. (Regarding Henrik Stenson's penchant for playing well in the fall, Pepperell noted, "Think Stenson's got that autumnal feeling again where he texts his bank manager and says, 'check this out.'") When we put together a list of our favorite social media accounts in golf, Pepperell was one of our first choices.
Sadly, Pepperell's account was deleted at the end of 2015. In a recent interview with the UK site Bunkered, we found out why: Among other things, Twitter was hurting Pepperell's relationship with his girlfriend.
"I found that in the relationship with my girlfriend –- well, I was on my phone a lot," the 25-year-old said. "Although some people will disagree with me, I just don't think you need social media in your life."
Pepperrell did allude to the account spurring his popularity, but ultimately decided it was detrimental to his career.
"Yeah, I had (a fanbase)," he said. But as time goes on that would only get more problematic and I'd end up saying some things that would end up getting me in trouble. Even though I didn't really ever say anything necessarily offensive, no one has the right not to be offended these days."
Some stars shine so bright they burn out before their time.

Saints New Ball Pig: 'Porknite'
PRESS RELEASE – He was the last pig standing. From the tilted towers of St. Paul, to the dusty divot of Duluth, to the moisty mire of Mankato, to the haunted hills of Hibbing, all the way over to the shifty shafts of Shakopee, the eye of the storm grew smaller and smaller around him.
He was the last pig standing. From the tilted towers of St. Paul, to the dusty divot of Duluth, to the moisty mire of Mankato, to the haunted hills of Hibbing, all the way over to the shifty shafts of Shakopee, the eye of the storm grew smaller and smaller around him. The Saints were looking for the perfect ball pig to represent the organization in 2018. Only one can finish on top in this Battle Royale joining a distinguished list of four-legged swine to entertain Saints fans and deliver baseballs to the home plate umpire. The pig that completed this mission did so with Ninja-like skills. His name…is Porknite.
The Saints were looking for the perfect ball pig to represent the organization in 2018. Only one can finish on top in this Battle Royale joining a distinguished list of four-legged swine to entertain Saints fans and deliver baseballs to the home plate umpire. The pig that completed this mission did so with Ninja-like skills. His name…is Porknite.
In the past the Saints have paid top dollar for their ball pigs, they've even had to order in advance. Porknite, however, was the first porker in the team's 26-year history to be downloaded free, albeit in a red pickup truck from River Falls, WI. But he won't be free forever! As the season progresses, it will be important for the Saints to invest in upgrades to Porknite's wardrobe and dance repertoire if they intend to stay competitive. Without wearing the porcine Reaper, or sporting the Leviathon piggy-style, he won't have a chance as the rest of the American Association closes in on him. He'll also need to improve his dance game as he grows into his skin(s). Fans will be looking for Porknite to drop the Floss on Saints opponents or let them know they Took The L after a Saints victory. He is already considered one of the most epic pigs to grace CHS Field, despite the protests from 2017 swine, Alternative Fats. While Porknite will attempt to lead the Saints to a dub each and every game, he hopes he won't need to save the season. He's already told his squad, that in order to avoid the traps of a 100-game season, they will need to use their resources, tools, and all of their weapons. Whether Porknite uses wood, bricks, or steel, it's all about building toward a championship!
The Saints revealed the name of the pig at their annual World's Largest Game of Catch in Lowertown Saint Paul. The name was selected from more than 2,000 entries in the Name the Pig Contest presented by the Star Tribune at startribune.com. The submission of names were extremely creative and ran the gamut of current events, popular movies and famous people we lost within the last year. Whether it was an ode to the Royal Wedding, with Meghan Porkle, a tip of the snout to Minnesota filmmakers, Ethan and Joel Coen, honoring the 30th Anniversary of their cult classic film with the Pig Lebowski, or showing reverence for the most well-known theoretical physicist with Stephen Hamking.
The winning entry was submitted by Kevin Cooper from Richfield. Kevin will receive a $50 Saints gift card, VIP Saints tickets, a photo with the pig and will escort the pig at a game.
During the previous 25 seasons the Saints have had a pig mascot and each has had a unique name. Many of the names play on hot topics of the year, current events or local celebrities. Last season the Saints tested the political waters with Alternative Fats. In 2016 the Saints honored one of the most iconic artists with Little Red Porkette. During the first season at CHS Field the Saints paid homage to Lowertown artists they went with Pablo Pigasso. In 2014 the Saints received the Colboar bump with Stephen Colboar. The 2012 season saw two mascots for the first time: Kim Lardashian and Kris Hamphries. Past names have included Mackleboar (2014), Brat Favre (2010), Slumhog Millionaire (2009), Boarack Ohama (2008), Notorious P.I.G. – Piggy Smalls (2003) and Kevin Bacon (2001).
When the Saints moved to town in 1992, their sister team in Fort Myers was having great success with a live Golden Retriever mascot and the Saints wanted to capitalize on that success. Libby Veeck, the wife of Saints owner and President Mike Veeck, came across an interesting tidbit in a book she was reading and discovered St. Paul was known as "Pig's Eye" after Pierre "Pig's Eye" Parrant. Thus, the pig mascot was born.
Since 1993 the Saints have received the pig from Dennis and Marilyn Hauth who handle, train, design costumes and house the pigs.
Saints tickets continue to be a tremendous value. Tickets begin at $5 for the Treasure Island berm seating (available only on day of game in person at the box office), $6 for SPLASH Zone bleacher seats, $14 for outfield reserved, $16 for the drink rail and $18 for infield reserved and home plate reserved. Friday Home Games with Post-Game Fireworks are an additional $2 per ticket. Post-Game Fireworks Supershows (May 27, July 2 and September 2) are an additional $3 per ticket. Tickets purchased on the day of the game are an additional $2 per ticket. Children under the age of 12 and seniors 65 and older receive $1 off the admission price. Children under 2 that don't require a seat are free.
The Saints Box Office hours on non-game days are Monday through Friday 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. On game days, the Box Office will open at 9 a.m., Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. Saturday and 12:00 p.m. on Sunday and will remain open until 15 minutes following each game. Tickets are always available at saintsbaseball.com.
The Saints open the 2018 season on the road against the Gary SouthShore Railcats on Friday, May 18. The home opener is on Monday, May 21 with a 3:05p.m.

Precise Touch
With the finger gripper OFG, Schmalz has a new gripper in its product range that grips in a tight-fitting and gentle manner. Delicate food products such as doughnuts, chocolate kisses, fruit, and vegetables are packaged safely and kept intact.
Handling with precision: The finger gripper OFG.
Automated processes bring efficiency and safety to the food processing industry. Gripping and handling equipment is essential for this. It has direct contact with products that later end up on plates and must therefore be transported hygienically and gently. J. Schmalz GmbH now offers the new finger gripper OFG to handle unpacked food products automatically. Its four slender and rounded bending fingers imitate the human hand and are made of silicone. When the pressure inside the gripper is increased, the finger bends to create a form fit. If the pressure decreases, it retracts. This allows the OFG to place delicate products carefully and precisely into adjacent trays.
The main body and control unit satisfy specific requirements. The FDA-compliant version is ideal for applications in the hygiene sector. Its main body is made of PET-P (polyethylene terephthalate) and designed to be particularly easy to clean. Alternatively, the finger gripper comes with a main body made of aluminum. This model is suitable for applications in industrial environments, e.g. in warehouse logistics or as an assembly aid. A centrally positioned bellows suction cup can optionally increase gripping force and stability during transfer. While the "Basic" control unit implements opening and closing via vacuum and pressure, the "Controlled" control unit allows parameters to be configured via USB or a serial interface. Users can also integrate a robot controller and continuously adjust the opening angle and gripping force. The OFG operates in a pressure range from –0.8 to a maximum of 1.6 bar. It has a repeatability of ±0.06 millimeters at a gripper speed of 0.05 seconds. The finger gripper is heat-resistant up to 200 degrees Celsius and protected against water and dust in accordance with protection class IP68.

New York City based violist Georgina Rossi has enjoyed performing in many different settings and countries. Most recently, she played in various chamber music concerts as a participant of the Sarasota Music Festival, where she also served as Principal Viola of the Festival Orchestra, under the baton of Larry Rahcleff. She joined the viola section of the Binghamton Philharmonic in 2016.
In her native country, she has served several times as substitute violist with the Chile Chamber Orchestra (Orquesta de Cámara de Chile) in Santiago, under the baton of Juan Pablo Izquierdo. Other conductors she has worked with include Kurt Masur, Kent Tritle, George Manahan, Alan Gilbert, Fabio Luisi, Hugh Wolff, and Nicholas McGegan. Ms. Rossi has been Principal Viola of the Manhattan School of Music Philharmonia, the Manhattan School of Music Symphony, and the Interlochen Arts Academy Orchestra. Playing as a member of these ensembles has taken her to the stages of Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
Early in her career, the Chilean government awarded her a national arts grant to fund her studies abroad, allowing her to graduate from Interlochen Arts Academy. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Viola Performance from the Manhattan School of Music, where she studied with Karen Dreyfus and Daniel Avshalomov, and where she was a recipient of the Margaret Enoch Scholarship.
Georgina is currently pursuing a Master's degree at The Juilliard School, where she is a student of Roger Tapping.
To provide perspective, she enjoys oil painting.

Q: Most efficient way to display php css property I am curious as to the correct way to use dynamic css properties. I have variables that if included are displayed in the dynamic css stylesheet.
If I have dynamic css as so
body {
    background:<?php global $data; echo $data['body_background'];?>;
    background-image:url(<?php global $data; echo $data['body_background_background']; ?>);
}

Am I best using if statements before or letting it echo out a blank css statement if it is empty?
For example, if there is no value it would display
body {
    background:;
    background-image:url();
}

Am i best including it an if statements so it doesn't display anything?. For example:
if (!empty($data['body_background'])) {
background:<?php global $data; echo $data['body_background'];?>;
}

What is the most efficient way to do this?

A: This is all Macaroni code. My suggestions are:

*

*Consider using some templating engines (Smarty, Twig, Mustache, Handlebars, etc) if possible, then it will look much more clear when read.

*Avoid using globals.

*If you still want/need to use php, then use ternary operator as it's suggested in the other answers.

*If your code is running on php >= 5.4 or short_open_tag is supposed to be enabled, then you can replace <?php echo by <?=

*Make the code explicitly set all the attributes before using them to avoid empty values.

A: You can use the ternary operator to streamline the if statment.
body{
 <?php echo (empty($data['body_background']))?'':'background:'.$data['body_background'].';'; ?>
}

A: I have a suggestion for you: Implement some kind of stylesheet generator that compiles the variables into a CSS-only file that can then be included. I can't really imagine a practical situation in which the style variables change every request.
Regarding the code style: global is a relict from PHP 4 times and shouldn't be used anymore.
As for your specific question:
Use an if statement to check if the specific array value is filled in the first place. You could do it in the following way.
body{
    <?php echo (empty($data['body_background']) ? '' : 'background:' . $data['body_background'] . ';'); ?>
}

Wedged against one another for the duration of a three and a half hour flight may try each other's patience, but for us, it was a wonderful time to share secrets, chat and flip through the French Laundry cookbook in between chapters of the novel I'm currently lost in. Our stomachs growling were the only constant rhythm of the trip, which stacco'd the whirs of the plane jet. Between cracking pistachio shells we shared a US Airways fruit + cheese plate, replete with one bunch of grape, three cheeses, almonds, crackers that we didn't eat (no sugar, no grains, remember) and one strawberry that we shared well (gold star in preschool for us!). Our first stop upon landing in Punta Cana was the grocery store. We wandered the aisles making up our own Spanish translation and filling the cart with our basics – eggs, beans, cheese, seasoned sauces, salsa and produce – bananas, plantains, mangos, and papaya.
The next stop for half of us was the bar. For the other half it was determining where we could find food. An actual meal. We were running on early morning kale smoothies, fruits, nuts and shared cheese, trying not to let frayed travel nerves show. We discovered an excursion salesman on the beach named Raymond and asked him about vittles. He kindly escorted us to Bamboo Bar… a local establishment with zero customers but lots of generosity. We were treated to local libations, nachos, dessert, more libations and tons of enthusiams about the pollo curry. Bravely, we ordered cinco and held our breath. When it arrived I could have sucked the sauce through a straw. It was succulent, flavorful, strong and well-seasoned. And served in a half pineapple, to boot. Rarely have I encountered a dish so perfectly aligned to my present needs. I raved and raved, surpassing the complementary chocolate and caramel crepes for an extra spoonful of curry. When I implored to my husband that we not only come back daily but figure out how to make it at home he let me know that he'd been keeping secrets in our marriage and had a to-die-for chicken curry recipe right up his sleeve. No doubt tofu can be subbed for chicken for a vegetarian delicacy equaling or surpassing Bamboo Bar's beachfront fare.
Saute' carrots, celery, onios and red peppers in olive oil. Add cubed chicken breast and cook 3/4 of the way. Add curry paste, chicken stock and reduce by half. Add heavy cream, salt and pepper and simmer until thickened. Serve over cous cous or rice, or inside a hollowed out pineapple half, if you're feeling in the island spirit.

Authenticity is important. I believe you should learn the mechanics of writing, soak up the knowledge, practice the method, and then make it your own.
When you are learning how to paint, they teach you realism, abstract, and cubism. However, your masterpiece will never be recognized if it is a copy of someone else's work.
It is hard. It is confusing. It is scary, but it will be genuine if you write in your own voice.
In my latest novel, The Light of Supremazia, about a girl who can see spirits and attends a school run by deceased celebrities, Marilyn Monroe is one of the teachers. I chose her because she has flair and a knack for drama, but also because she was not afraid to be herself.
Vote for the The Light of Supremazia Kindle Scout campaign!
As I prepare to launch my next book series, I keep thinking about additional ways to enjoy the story. How many times have you read the details by J.K. Rowling about characters she didn't mention at the end of the series? Or get excited because they brought the characters of Vampire Diaries to life in a tv series? Or sing along to a song from the Hunger Games movie on the radio?
Like a bag of Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans or your very own Mocking Jay pin, I hope you enjoy Jules's Vita Post Mortem Academy Class schedule!
The Light of Supremazia, book #1 in the (after)life lessons young adult, fantasy book series!
As research for my upcoming book and new series, I have been doing some homework on two people with very different personalities, who have left a big impression during the last century. While they worked in dissimilar fields, both brought an unconventional view during their time and were brave enough to share it.
I was originally drawn to this quote because Albert Einstein will be a spirit in my next series, teaching math and science to high school students in a school run by ghosts. All that aside, I believe having the confidence to stand up to those who don't believe in you is a superpower. Of course, that is easier done when you are considered a genius.
The second person who will appear as a spirit in my series, teaching Psyche of the Spirit in a Physical Body is Marilyn Monroe. I consider standing out from the crowd a superpower, and one that Marilyn portrayed so well.
I can't write a post on confidence without discussing Chelsea Steinem from my young adult, fantasy series, Olivia Hart and the Gifted Program. In the series, her "Gift" or special ability was invisibility. She explains how, just like her sarcasm and wit, her ability to disappear is like a shield, insulating her from other's hurtful opinions.
Do you think confidence is a superpower?


MPs have called on the government to confiscate properties from the country's worst landlords after a series of revelations about tenants being exploited by rogue sections of the private rented housing sector.
The calls followed a hard-hitting select committee report in April, as well as a joint Guardian and ITV News investigation which last month revealed that convicted landlords ruled unfit to rent out their properties were continuing to operate by exploiting a gap in the law.
During a debate on the committee's recommendations on Thursday, MPs from across the Commons urged the housing minister Heather Wheeler to introduce new powers to seize properties of the worst landlords.

New Delhi: A 42-year-old man allegedly committed suicide by jumping in front of a train at the Ghitorni station on the Delhi Metro's Yellow Line, leading to brief delay in services, on Friday, officials said.

The deceased, Nitin Chandok, was a resident of Saket, police said.
"Police received information about the incident at 11.55 am. The reason behind him committing suicide is not known and no suicide note was found," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Metro) Vikram Porwal said.
Chandok used to run a shop at Nehru Place along with his father and brother. He had shifted to Gurgaon DLF Phase-2 from Saket with his family some time back, Porwal said, adding that he is survived by his wife, son, and daughter.
His body was taken to the AIIMS Trauma Centre and postmortem will be conducted on Saturday, police said. Inquest proceedings have been initiated in the matter, they said.
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) officials said services were delayed on the Sultanpur-Huda City Centre section of the Yellow Line due to the incident.
"Delay in services between Sultanpur and Huda City Centre due to a passenger on track at Ghitorni. Normal service on all other lines," it tweeted soon after the incident.
Normal services were resumed after 10 to 15 minutes of delay, the officials said.
In an other incident, a 55-year-old man, who was suffering from throat cancer, allegedly tried to commit suicide by jumping in front of a train at the Jhilmil station on the Delhi Metro's Red line, police said.
However, the driver applied the breaks on time and the train stopped before hitting him.
Police said they received information about the incident around 11.20 am. The man, identified as Kishan Lal, is a resident of Nand Nagri.
Lal is suffering from throat cancer for the past six years, they added.

What are you currently reading? I took Don't Breathe A Word out from the library about a week ago and I was not sure what to make of the book since I have never read anything by Holly Cupala. I am finding that I really loving this book. I have a close friend who is homeless and this helps me relate to what he has to go through. A very touching story.
What did you recently finish reading? I finished reading Cinder a couple days ago during the WW read-a-thon I was participating in. OMG, this book totally rocked! It was the best retelling of the Cinderella story out there in my opinion.
Glad to hear you enjoyed Cinder as much as I did!

Kato Pyrgos is the main village of Tylliria. It is built on the northern foothills of the Troodos mountain region, at the largest and most beautiful valley of the area and along an incomparable crystal beach. The name of the village derived from "Troulli", a small building resembling a tower (Pyrgos) located on an imposing beach hill of the area. In reality, "Troulli" was used as an observation post during the Venetian period, whereas renovation works have recently begun by the Department of Antiquities of Nicosia.
Although located in the Lefkosia (Nicosia) district, due to the Turkish invasion of 1974, the village of Kato Pyrgos is now only accessible via the Pafos (Paphos) region; reached by-following the A1 and the A6 motorways. After arriving at Pafos, take the B7, then the E704 to find the village in the heart of the beautiful area of Tylliria.
Built on the northern foothills of Troodos, the village uniquely combines coastal front with hillsides, and its surroundings of both beach and mountains – coupled with the fresh fish that comes from the fishing shelter of the village – make it a popular holiday resort.
The village is also home to the historic and significant Chapel of Panagia tis Galoktistis (Virgin Mary) which contains hagiographies dating back to the 12th and 14th centuries. Legend tells that the chapel was built with milk ('Galoktistis' in Greek) after the Virgin Mary answered the prayers of the villagers to heal their diseased sheep.
An old oak tree stands in the village square, dating back to 1898, and is over 20 metres high.In the nearby fields of the village, a variety of fruit is cultivated, and Pyrgos peaches are particularly famous. Kato Pyrgos is also known as one of the island's main natural charcoal producers.

Kato Pyrgos in the heart of the stunning Tylliria area, combines beaches with crystal clear waters and beautiful hillsides.
As few know, Nicosia has beautiful pebble beaches in the charming and remote village of Kato Pyrgos Tyllirias, at a distance of 111km away from the Nicosia city centre. The village, which also operates a fishing shelter, is built on the northern foothills of the Troodos mountains and combines a unique coastal front with green hillsides, making it particularly attractive to holidaymakers. The name of the village derives from "Troulli", a small building resembling a tower (Pyrgos) located on a hill above the beach in the area. The stone-built tower was used as an observation point during the Venetian period. The longest route to the village from Nicosia, is through Paphos, but it's worth the drive, as the scenery from Argaka village to Kato Pyrgos is breathtaking – a mesmerising combination of the deep blue sea surrounded by lush green fields.
The most popular beaches in this area are called "Krioneri" (cold water), "Omega" (due to the shape of the coastline – like the Greek letter – Ω) and "Apothikes" (warehouse). Apothikes is a sandy beach named after a building located nearby that used to operate as a warehouse in the 1920s. There are sun beds and umbrellas for rent, and a few restaurants and taverns nearby. Krioneri beach was named after the cold waters of the sea. There are some colourful sun beds here that belong to the "Grape by the Sea" beach bar where you can enjoy refreshing drinks and dishes such as steaks, sandwiches and burgers. It's open all day from 10am until late at night. A small part of Krioneri beach allows for swimming with dogs. The beaches are surrounded by hillsides, greenery and wild nature, with pine trees, peach trees and lemon trees blending seamlessly with the majestic views of the sea.
With just 1500 inhabitants, the village attracts a mixture of tourists and locals who want to escape the buzz of the city and the other coastal areas that gain increasing popularity during the summer months. Apart from its serene and relaxing beachside, Kato Pyrgos is also worth visiting for its historical precedence – one of its old churches, the historic Chapel of Panagia tis Galoktistis (Virgin Mary), features murals of saints dating back to the 12th and 14th centuries. According to legend, the chapel was built with milk, hence its Greek name "Galoktistis", after the Virgin Mary answered the prayers of the villagers to heal their ailing sheep. At the village square you will find a 20-metre tall oak tree dating back to 1898. The village is also known for cultivating fresh fruit, such as peaches, oranges, lemons and mandarins.

Quirky returns, decades overdue items keep things interesting at Greater Victoria libraries
The most overdue book was returned more than 80 years late
Many unusual things have been returned to the Greater Victoria Public Libraries (GVPL) since the first branch opened in 1889.
GVPL now has 12 branches throughout 10 of the municipalities in the Capital Regional District. In 2018 alone, there were 6.6 million visits to the branches and the library website – 6 million physical items and 1.3 million digital files were in circulation.

Sometimes, when the millions of items are returned to the library, they're accompanied by unusual items. Staff have come across personal photos, pressed flowers, Lego people and even a T.V. remote when going through books in the return bin, said GVPL communications officer Jessica Woollard. Like detectives, staff work to return the items to their owners.
In 2016, a book was returned to the Bruce Hutchinson branch with teeth-marks and an apology note tucked inside written from the perspective of Kairos the dog. In the notes, Kairos promised his owner would pay the fine, Woollard noted with a laugh.
She also pointed out that sometimes items are never returned – after several months the accumulated late fees surpass the cost of the item and it's considered gone for good.
Every once in awhile, items that have been overdue for decades find their way back to the library. The GVPL's longest overdue book was returned 82 years late. Someone had borrowed Stephen Leacock's "Sunshine sketches of a small town" in 1916 – during the First World War – while visiting family in Fairfield, Woollard explained. In 1998, a woman came across it in her attic and returned it to the library even though it was more than eight decades late.
READ ALSO: Saanich Centennial library branch closed for at least three weeks
In 2017, someone else returned an old LP record speculated to have been borrowed in 1959, Woollard said. The record was the soundtrack to the film "Anatomy of a Murder" with music by Duke Ellington. The library stopped lending records in the early 1990s, but the movie is still in circulation on DVD. The record is currently housed at the Juan de Fuca branch.
The record and other items with unique stories are kept in the library's collection like artifacts because of their historical value, Woollard said.
The quirky tales keep things interesting for staff and they have library patrons to thank. On Dec. 7, each GVPL branch is hosting a cookies and crafts open house from 2 to 4 p.m. to show appreciation for those who visit the libraries.
