The furor over Don Cherry's firing is only going to widen the cleavage between white, rural, conservative Ontario and urban, diverse, progressive Ontario.
While defending comments seen by many as racist – "You people … that come here … you love our way of life … at least you could pay a couple of bucks for poppies" – the hockey commentator told Tucker Carlson of Fox News that Canada had changed "a lot" over the years in places such as Toronto and Mississauga. But "you go to the small cities around Ontario, and they haven't changed at all. They still wear their poppy."
By "you people," he clearly means immigrants. By "small cities around Ontario," I think he means places such as Chatham or Orillia or Pembroke and the surrounding rural areas in Southern and Central Ontario. Let's look at the federal ridings those cities are in and compare them with the closest big city.
In Chatham-Kent–Leamington, in Southwestern Ontario, immigrants account for 13 per cent of the population, according to Statistics Canada. The median age is 45 and the population of the riding declined by 2 per cent between 2011 and 2016.
The unofficial capital of Southwestern Ontario is London, with a population of 383,000. Twenty-two per cent of the city's population consists of immigrants. The population grew by 5 per cent between 2011 and 2016, and the median age is 40, considerably younger than Chatham-Kent–Leamington.
In Central Ontario, the small city of Orillia, population 31,000, is part of the mostly rural riding of Simcoe North, where immigrants make up 9 per cent of the population. Compare this riding with its nearest counterpart in the Greater Toronto Area, King–Vaughan, 100 kilometres to the south. Immigrants in King–Vaughan make up 41 per cent of the population. In many GTA ridings, immigrants are in the majority. Orillia struggles to grow; Vaughan is booming.
Finally, let's travel to Eastern Ontario and compare Renfrew–Nipissing–Pembroke – a mostly rural riding that includes the small city of Pembroke – to the closest big-city riding, Ottawa West–Nepean, 140 km away. Only 5 per cent of people in Renfrew–Nipissing–Pembroke are immigrants, compared with 27 per cent in Ottawa West–Nepean. Pembroke's population gets smaller by the year. Ottawa's population passed the million mark in June.
Another thing ties Chatham-Kent to Orillia to Pembroke. Their ridings all went Conservative in the last federal election. King–Vaughan, Ottawa West–Nepean and three ridings in London went Liberal or NDP. (The Conservatives did take Elgin–Middlesex–London, but that riding has a large rural component.) Most of the 36 Ontario seats the Conservatives won in the last election are outside the big cities. Most of the 85 seats that went Liberal or NDP are inside them.
Here's the amazing thing: In almost every riding I studied, the median total income in the rural riding was similar to that in the nearest major urban riding. The exception was Simcoe North and King–Vaughan, but that 20-per-cent gap is erased by higher costs that come with living in the GTA. (The average price of a home in Vaughan is more than twice that of a home in Orillia.) The urban/rural, progressive/conservative divide is not economic. This isn't a class war. It's a culture war.
Yes, there were plenty of people in Chatham-Kent or Orillia or Pembroke who were appalled by Mr. Cherry's remarks, and people in London, the GTA and Ottawa who defended them.
But when Mr. Cherry talked about the "small cities," he was talking about communities that are older and whiter and politically more conservative than their big-city counterparts.
The birth rate in Ontario is well below replacement rate. Communities that don't bring in immigrants to replace missing babies are doomed to decline, to become less relevant to the life of the province.
We need policies at every level to encourage immigrants to move to small cities and rural areas. It's true that such attempts, including programs to encourage entrepreneurial immigrants, are open to abuse. But at the least, governments should be emphasizing to immigrant Canadians that there are job opportunities and lower living costs in smaller communities.
Not only would those communities benefit economically from the new arrivals, they might become more diverse in their views, helping to bridge the gulf between rural and urban. And that would be good for everyone.

Hansi Hansi was a very personal and intimate bed and breakfast in the former Belle Epoque skiing village of Bad Gastein. Refurbished by friends and managed by Tina and Felix is probably all you need to know about this place.
Hansi was the grandfather of Felix, who used to be a butcher and chef - well known for his spare ribs and exceptional cevapcici. His wife, Felix' grandmother Juditta and he owned the restaurant in the Felsentherme Bad Gastein in the 1970's. After preparing the meat for the business Hansi mostly went either hunting, skiing or golfing. Juditta ran the restaurant and her sister Maria took care of the b&b in the meanwhile.
We were specialized in breakfasts, for us the diversity in cooking cultures and techniques are as important as local products and best quality ingredients. This house was in a way a magical place for people who were able to let themself go. A Bed and Breakfast beyond standards and expectations, an accomodation with more than personality. We always called our main set vibes, now Hansi Hansi doesn't exist anymore in the way we and everybody who visited knew it. In the best case we will remember it as the place it used to be and in the worst case it is all good anyway! Thanks to all those who had the chance to visit Hansi Hansi.

Baptism of fire – a tough introduction for the BMA's chief executive
It's been quite a year for Tom Grinyer as the BMA's new chief executive. He describes how the pandemic has caused the association to work in different ways and help more members
Published: Thursday 9 July 2020
When Tom Grinyer arrived at the BMA a year ago as the new chief executive, he could not have imagined what the association would be looking like now.
An increased membership, high media profile but the buildings in London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast almost empty. The 500 BMA staff working at home, blessing and occasionally cursing the technology which is enabling the association to carry on its work during the greatest public health emergency in living memory.
Although we are further apart, we have never been closer together
Tom Grinyer
Mr Grinyer says the organisation has had to respond quickly to the pandemic as the different aspects of it became apparent, at times on a daily or hourly basis. From when there were some in government saying the approach should be based on herd immunity, to the scandalous shortages of PPE (personal protective equipment), to the concerns with testing, easing the lockdown, wearing face masks in public, and a dozen other issues.
He says this has been achieved by bringing together staff and members for regular, briskly paced online meetings. 'What's been crucial is bringing together doctors from across the branches-of-practice chairs, chief officers, subject matter experts, with staff from all levels of the organisation to coordinate our response.'
New working practices
Mr Grinyer says this is not only efficient but – in an organisation which has historically been at times accused of being rather hierarchical – 'it's been hugely democratising because everyone is in an equal-sized square' on the screen.
Just as the profession is doing, he says the BMA needs to look at what might be the positive legacy of the changed working practices. It's not necessarily going to be a return to exactly the same situation.
'We want to take the best, we want to take the learning, we want to take what works,' he said.
The pressure to change will not come solely from a review of the different working practices, but from financial realities. While the BMA has welcomed several thousand new members during the crisis, it has also seen a severe drop-off in its events and learning and development income.
'We are going to have to start a debate about what we do and how we do it better; as one member of staff said to me although we are further apart, we have never been closer together,' he says. This might include online meetings being the norm rather than face-to-face, given that they have generally been thought to work well.
Standing up for members
While there may be uncertainties ahead, one definite is that the BMA is probably busier than at any other time in its history. The figures for member support are striking. Between January and May, there were 19,000 new cases opened to support members, a 19 per cent increase on the same period last year. There were 34,000 calls (up 10 per cent) to the BMA's support team, 12,500 emails (up 44 per cent) and 3,200 web chats (a 16 per cent increase).
What's been crucial is bringing together doctors from across the branches of practice
Members expect the BMA to do a job for them, and often to take robust action on their behalf. Mr Grinyer says: 'I'm really proud of the role we play – the muscle of the trade union, the solutions of the professional body. At a time when the issue of PPE was at its height, we were damned right to be raising that at the highest level. We also needed to support members so opened our support 24 hours, seven days a week.
'As one BMA council member said, "if not us, who?". All the other organisations out there, they may be campaigning organisations, but we have to hold that member's perspective, negotiate as a trade union, guide as a professional body and get traction with the Governments of all our four nations, and still have that conversation the day after as well.'
With a background in civil service unions and medical royal colleges he is proud of the trade union and professional sides of the BMA – two facets it has had for decades and which have sometimes led members to feel they have to favour one side over another. But the pandemic has helped to dispel misconceptions that, the trade union side was 'practical' whereas the professional one somewhat more abstract and theoretical. He says he has received, for example, a great deal of praise for the robustness and practicality of the BMA's ethics guidance.
Freedom to speak up
Mr Grinyer arrived at the BMA during another very challenging time. Daphne Romney QC had been asked to conduct an independent review following reports of sexist behaviour by members.
The report spoke of the need for ensuring diversity and gender balance, for robust action to be taken against harassment, discrimination and bullying, and for a culture where bad behaviour could be called out. Among many recommendations, Ms Romney said every committee member should undergo training in areas such as diversity, equality and anti-bullying.
He says: 'This report was a backdrop to my appointment, and as soon as we received it I wanted to get out there and get on with tackling what was in it.'
Mr Grinyer points to the extensive training which has taken place, the wide-ranging debate around behaviours and the recent appointment of Mary Walsh as the BMA's first freedom to speak up guardian.
What the Romney report spoke to was a change in the BMA's culture. What she or anyone else could not have predicted is how profound that change in culture would be, thanks to the arrival of a certain virus.
He says the BMA has had to be fast, cohesive and effective, and that while it will always have more work to do in tackling discrimination in all its forms it has risen to the challenge. Keeping this legacy, once its exceptionally hard-working members rid Britain of the virus, will no doubt be his key priority.'
COVID-19: BMA priorities Our four main priorities across the UK are PPE provision, testing for health workers, BAME doctors and terms and conditions (including death in service). 5 November 2020

With the name of ALLAH, The Most Beneficent and The Most Merciful..
Special for all sohabat my team. This is just my story.. if u feel like don't want to read it, I don't mind.
Well, I 've been receiving many sms or messages from sohabat. The messages show how they miss me and other sohabat very much. It just made me wonder, why don't I feel just the way they feel (miss sohabat very much)?.
Is it because of I've used to walk or go anywhere and do anything alone. Obviously, I don't have very very close buddies like other girls use to have (from zahir la, but the truth I have many friends although I always walk alone)?. And is it because of I don't ihtimam with their businesses? It also might be because of I always do anything for my own sake, my own benefit.
Then when I enter university, I met a friend. A friend that is really really close to me. We are in the same class, same block, even in the same usrah. Everything that I learned from being a sohabat during matric times, I want to practice it here. One of the things that I learned during matric times is ziarah. For example when a sohabat is sick, I never ever thought to visit her at the first place. But other sohabat ask me to visit, and so I did it. Likewise, I am very good in following orders and agree with other sohabat's point of view.
To summarize it, I really am concerned and worried about her sometimes. I even missed her very much although we haven't seen just for a few hours.
To think of that, I thought about other sohabat's feelings who are far away from me. Surely they missed me and others very very much.
I'm sorry for everything that I've done.
- and many more laa..
- for being a star that shows me where to go..
From Anas, Rasulullah S.A.W said : There are three things that whoever got it within them, they will get halaawatul iman; Allah and His Rasul are the most that he love; love someone else nothing more than because of Allah; and don't want to get back to kufr after being saved by ALLAH just as he don't want to be thrown into the hell. (Bukhari and Muslim).. please tell me if I translated the hadith wrongly.
Let us together search for Allah's love.. and love others (whether they are bad or good, muslim or non-muslim) because of Allah. Even, from 'basmalah', one of the meaning of 'ilah' is the centre of love (tumpuan cinta) (taken from my munaqashah of halaqah usrah).

Caspian Airlines (in persiano هواپیمایی کاسپین) è una compagnia aerea iraniana con sede a Teheran, attualmente compagnia di bandiera della Repubblica Islamica dell'Iran. Fondata nel 1993, opera su rotte nazionali, collegando Teheran con le maggiori città iraniane, ed internazionali, raggiungendo Armenia, Emirati Arabi Uniti, Siria, Turchia ed Ucraina. L'hub principale è aeroporto Internazionale di Teheran-Mehrabad.

A partire da dicembre 2016, il Dipartimento del Tesoro degli Stati Uniti ha vietato a Caspian Airlines di effettuare transazioni di qualsiasi tipo con entità straniere poiché aveva fornito sostegno agli elementi dell'IRGC trasportando dall'Iran alla Siria personale e materiale illecito, comprese le armi.

Storia
La compagnia aerea è stata fondata nel 1993 e ha iniziato le operazioni nel settembre 1993. È stata costituita come una joint venture tra interessi iraniani e russi.

Caspian Airlines non ha più aeromobili Tupolev; oggi opera principalmente con velivoli della serie McDonnell Douglas MD-80 e Boeing 737 Classic.

Caspian Airlines ha terminato la costruzione della sua sede nel 1993. Successivamente, l'edificio è stato scambiato con tre Tupolev-154 della Mahan Air.

Destinazioni
Al 2022, Caspian Airlines opera voli di linea tra Emirati Arabi Uniti, Iran, Iraq e Turchia.

Flotta

Flotta attuale
A dicembre 2022 la flotta di Caspian Airlines è così composta:

Flotta storica
Caspian Airlines operava in precedenza con:

 Tupolev Tu-154M

Incidenti
15 luglio 2009: il volo Caspian Airlines 7908, un Tupolev Tu-154M operante la tratta Teheran-Erevan, subì un guasto a un motore e il conseguente incendio alla coda dell'aereo. Il pilota virò, cercando di trovare un punto sicuro dove atterrare, ma senza successo. L'aereo si schiantò in un campo, scavando un cratere profondo fino a 10 metri. Le vittime furono 168.
27 gennaio 2020: il volo Caspian Airlines 6936, un McDonnell Douglas MD-83 in fase di atterraggio a Mahshahr, uscì di pista dopo un avvicinamento non stabilizzato. Non ci furono vittime, ma l'aereo venne in seguito demolito.

INTERVIEW: Jamie Allen Glad To Be Back After Ipswich Town Victory
The midfielder made just his second start of the season last night...
Aaron Sutcliffe
Jamie Allen is "glad to be back" after starting for just the second time this season in the Sky Blues thrilling Emirates FA Cup away win against Ipswich Town last night.
Allen played a big role in City's second goal when he slipped a pass through to Jordan Shipley who in-turn squared the ball to Max Biamou who applied the finish to a wonderful team move.
The midfielder admitted to feeling tired towards the end of the match at Portman Road, managing 82 minutes under the floodlights, but knows the fitness will come with more game time.
Allen said: "I was talking to my family beforehand and said 'it's December and I'm only just starting my first game' but I'm happy to be back playing and hopefully there's more game time and wins to come.
"I don't feel rusty, I felt a bit tired towards the end, but the fitness will come with more game time and I'll only get fitter and stronger as the season goes on.
"This is the longest I've been out for and miss as many games as I have done. I thought I started pre-season well and tried to get off to a good start but then the injury happened which was disappointing but I'm glad to be back now."
Allen was pleased with the Sky Blues performance last night and in particular their performance in the first half which saw them race into a two-goal lead.
However, he would have liked City to have taken their chances in the second period to avoid the nervy final five minutes following Luke Garbutt's late reply.
"It was an enjoyable first half, I thought we played really well, we got on the ball and moved it a lot quicker and created chances.
"It was more or less the same in the second half, but we dropped off a bit and let them keep the ball and get on top of us, but we still had chances to kill the game off.
"We picked up from where we left off in the second half on Saturday. We tried to start fast, and they couldn't get near us. We got the two early goals and we just needed to see it out in the second half, which we did.
"They were both really good team goals. We've won the ball back, played it quickly upfield from one side to the other, a couple of good passes in and then ended up with a goal.
"We need to take our chances in the second half and then we don't have to worry at the end.
"They would have then had to drop off and feel defeated, but that goal gives them a bit of hope for the last five minutes.
"When you play a team three times in nine days you know how they play, and we felt that the way we play we could hurt them today and we did that.
"We need to take the two victories we've had away from home in the FA Cup into the league now and that should stand us in good stead for the rest of the season ahead."
The 24-year-old also spoke about achieving something special this season and praised the competition for places in Mark Robins squad.
"We hope we can achieve something special. We want to finish as high up in the table as we can this season and we feel like we've got a group of players that means we're able to do that.
"We've got players coming back now. Matty Godden's coming back, which is good, myself coming back as well so we're getting close to the squad we had at the start of the season.
"We've got five midfielders that are all good players, so the competition is very high and that's good in a team because you have to fight for your place in training."
Ipswich Town vs Coventry City on 10 Dec 19

Available in four trims for the 2021 model year, versus seven for the 2020 model year, the 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio lineups include the Sprint, Ti, Ti Sport and Quadrifoglio. Further, with many popular options made standard, the number of available content packages has been significantly reduced, making it easier for customers to build their Alfa Romeo.
With its near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, the Giulia sets the benchmark for performance sedans. Embodying Alfa Romeo's la meccanica delle emozioni (the mechanics of emotion) spirit and offering race-inspired performance with class-leading, standard 280 horsepower and 306 lb.-ft. of torque, the Giulia delivers 0-60 mph in as quick as 5.1 seconds and a top speed of 149 mph. With a combination of advanced technologies, seductive Italian style, standard carbon fiber driveshaft and available Alfa Q4 all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, the Giulia provides an exhilarating driving experience in the premium midsize sedan segment.
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio raises the bar for performance SUVs, bringing Giulia's proven performance formula to the premium midsize utility segment. Named after one of the world's greatest driving roads, the Stelvio Pass, the 2021 Stelvio delivers performance, design and technology in an SUV that only Alfa Romeo could create. The Stelvio lineup is a testament to Alfa Romeo's perfect balance of engineering and emotion. Infused with Italian passion, artisanship and innovation, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio is designed for driving enthusiasts to conquer the road.
For 2021, four new exterior colors are available for Giulia and Stelvio:
Ocra GT Junior
Rosso GTA
Rosso Villa d'Este
Verde Montreal
Return of the Sprint
Harkening back to the Bertone-designed 1954 Giulietta Sprint, the first Sprint nameplate to appear on an Alfa Romeo, and to the 1965 Giulia Sprint GTA, arguably the most recognized example of the nameplate, the Sprint name holds a rich and longstanding history for the brand, making this a fitting return on the 2021 Giulia and Stelvio.
As entry points to their lineups, the 2021 Giulia Sprint and 2021 Stelvio Sprint offer class-leading levels of standard equipment unmatched by competitors from Europe and Asia. The Sprint trims' long list of standard equipment includes a 280-horsepower turbocharged engine, 8-speed automatic transmission, bi-xenon headlamps, Brembo front brakes, leather seating, 10-way power front seats, remote start, keyless entry, 8.8-inch multi-touch display, Forward Collision Warning with Full-Speed Stop, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and SiriusXM radio. A premium leather-wrapped shifter and a race-inspired steering wheel for all Sprint trims feature Alfa Romeo's characteristic steering-wheel-mounted push-button start. Standard laminated glass helps improve both cabin ambience and the overall driving experience.
Sprint trims can be equipped with Alfa Q4 AWD system, as well as new content packages, including a Performance Package (limited-slip differential, steering-column-mounted aluminum paddle shifters), Sun & Sound Package (dual-pane sunroof, 10-speaker audio) and Active Assist I Package, which features Active Blind-spot Assist, automatic-dimming exterior mirrors, Front and Rear Park Assist sensors, adaptive cruise control with full-speed stop and go, automatic high-beam headlamp control and Lane Departure Warning. The Active Assist I Package combines two packages from 2020 into one and represents a 70% price reduction.
Ti and Ti Sport Add Key Standard Equipment
New for 2021, standard equipment on the Giulia Ti and Stelvio Ti includes a dual-pane sunroof and an 8.8-inch multi-touch display with HD radio and navigation.
For Giulia Ti Sport and Stelvio Ti Sport, the equipment list is further enhanced for 2021, with standard limited-slip differential and dark exhaust. Stelvio Ti Sport also adds a standard sport rear diffuser and 20-inch 5-hole aluminum wheels. New 21-inch 5-hole aluminum wheels are optional on Stelvio Ti and Stelvio Ti Sport.
Customers can now select from new content packages, including a Lusso Package (Ti) and Carbon Package (Ti Sport). With build-complexity reduced by more than 90%, customers gain a clearer view of their desired model and options, realizing lower year-over-year prices.
Quadrifoglio = Halo
Alfa Romeo continues to offer the Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio as the "halo" vehicles for the brand. The storied nameplate highlights Alfa Romeo's motorsports expertise with best-in-class, 505-horsepower, 2.9-liter, twin-turbocharged V-6 engine, capable of launching the Giulia Quadrifoglio from 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds and the all-wheel-drive Stelvio Quadrifoglio from 0-60 mph in just 3.6 seconds. Plus, the Giulia Quadrifoglio set a Nürburgring record lap time of 7:32, the fastest ever by a five-passenger production sedan, while the Stelvio Quadrifoglio recorded a lap time of 7:51.7, a staggering feat for a five-seat premium SUV.
As Alfa Romeo's ultimate performance iterations, the Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio come standard with dynamic dual-mode quad exhaust, Brembo high-performance brakes, torque-vectoring rear differential, independent adaptive damping suspension, leather/Alcantara sport seats, genuine carbon fiber interior trim and Alfa DNA Pro Drive Mode Selector with Race Mode. For 2021, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio can be equipped with optional 21-inch 5-hole aluminum wheels in dark or silver finish.
Premium Interiors and Technology
Inside every 2021 Giulia and Stelvio lies a refined center console featuring a machine-knurled aluminum-look rotary dial, premium knob materials and ample storage capacity. An Italian flag badge at the base of the shifter signifies the country from which these vehicles were born, designed and crafted. Large cup holders in the Giulia, plus a phone storage area with available wireless charging, round out the upscale environment.
A standard 8.8-inch center touchscreen display offers a selection of interactive widgets and a horizontal scroll layout, which provides additional personalization options and enhanced interactivity and visibility. Performance pages allow drivers to track key performance metrics while digital HVAC and other controls enhance functionality. Drivers and passengers can customize the home page by selecting their tailored layout. Reconfigurable widgets provide quick and easy access to key functions, such as radio, media, smartphone, navigation, climate control and more.
The standard 7-inch thin-film transistor (TFT) instrument cluster screen displays information in an easy-to-read format, incorporating Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) and level II autonomous driving functions. The system also includes vehicle information pages providing real-time data that puts the driver at the center.
Advanced Safety and Technology Features with Level II Autonomy
The 2021 Giulia and Stelvio offer a full set of available ADAS functions, including level II autonomous capability that enables the vehicle to control acceleration, braking, and steering, providing the driver with the perfect balance between driving pleasure and autonomous control.
2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio (European model shown)
Level II ADAS functions include:
Highway Assist System
Traffic Jam Assist System
Traffic Sign Recognition
Intelligent Speed Assist
Active Blind-spot Assist

Ducks fire coach Randy Carlyle amid losing streak
Rachel Hardy | Monday, February 11, 2019
Jakob Silfverberg on the Ducks and trade deadline chatter 'I want to stay
Taking over for Carlyle will be Ducks' general manager Bob Murray, who will assume the role in an interim basis for the remainder of the season.
Carlyle, who has the most wins in Ducks history (384-256-96), was 111-74-35 in his second stint coaching them after being hired June 14, 2016, to replace Bruce Boudreau, who replaced him December 1, 2011. He led the Ducks to a Stanley Cup championship in 2007, as well as three appearances in the Western Conference Final in 2006, 2007 and 2017.
"We thank Randy for everything he has done for the organization", Murray said.
Anaheim announced that it will name a new head coach following the conclusion of the 2018-19 season. "We have a tradition of success in Anaheim and we need to get back to that". He went 384-256-96 in 736 games with Anaheim. He is the only person in league history to reach 1,000 games as a player and serve as head coach for 900-plus contests.
Murray, a three-time finalist for NHL General Manager of the Year - he won the award in 2013-14 - is the longest-serving and winningest GM in team history with a 445-279-101 record in 825 games.
He is signed through 2022 after agreeing to a two-year contract extension on December 8.
You don't expect to have to live through this stuff for an extended period of time. After four-plus years in Toronto, he landed back in Anaheim in 2016-17 and made the playoffs in each of his first two campaigns before the wheels came off this season. They lost 12 straight games from December 18 to January 15, then won two in a row, before their current skid. Its loss to their Flyers on Saturday night was its 19th in the last 21 games.
Murray shook up the roster with a couple of trades that led to two straight wins, but another losing streak followed.

Every newly-elected president goes through it. Every newly-elected president gets "tested" by our enemies. At their core, autocrats are bullies. They want to see what they can away with. Like all bullies they will keep on pushing and pressing until they are stopped. The best example of this that I can remember was Hitler's and Nazi Germany's pre-WWII repeated aggression and the allies continued appeasement (remember Neville Chamberlain in 1938 proclaiming the Munich Agreement guaranteed "peace in our time"), but there have been many others throughout history.
Some presidents, like Truman with communist expansion in post-WWII Europe, Kennedy, with the Russian missiles in Cuba, and Trump with Russia, China and North Korea passed the test. Others, like Carter with the hostages in Iran, failed.
In my opinion, the Russian invasion of Ukraine is Biden's "test." How will he respond? Will he roll over and merely issue meaningless platitudes; will he hide in his basement; or will he be strong and determined. I'm not advocating we send troops to fight the Russians in Ukraine. No sane person wants that. Ukraine is not a member of NATO. We don't have to defend them with troops. But, Biden has a variety of other options at his disposal.
My recommendation would be to hit Putin where it would really hurt him. The Russian economy is very fragile. Currently, its major source of revenue is oil and gas. We have allowed it to establish a pipeline directly to Europe to sell oil and gas to our allies. Russia is making a fortune from this, and as a bonus, it has control of their economies. It can charge whatever it wants, and it could shut down the pipeline entirely whenever it wants. Even worse, a second pipeline is on the way. At the same time, Biden shut down our own Keystone Pipeline for "environmental reasons." As I have blogged previously that was an inane decision on many levels that never made any sense to me and many others.
To me, the obvious initial move would be to reopen the Keystone Pipeline. That would restore our energy independence, allow our allies to buy oil from us rather than Russia, and deal a huge blow to the Russian economy. That would likely provide us with the leverage to convince Russia to stand down. We don't have to commit troops. Countries need money to finance wars. Where else could Russia get it?
As the saying goes, "elections have consequences." For a variety of reasons, we elected a weak, cognitively-challenged president instead of a strong one. He has exhibited weakness at every turn. Both our friends and our enemies have observed this. Our friends are anxious and afraid; our enemies are emboldened. History has shown us repeatedly that weakness invites war; strength prevents it.
Putin has taken advantage. He has been planning this for a long time, while we have been focused on silly issues like CRT and cancel culture. We have been "asleep at the switch." We could have and should have focused on the Ukraine issue months ago when it could have been handled more easily. Like they say, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Now we are suffering the consequences of our prior inactions.
There is a real danger that he will not stop with Ukraine. He may decide to continue on to the Baltic States or other neighboring countries. He sees himself as the second coming of Joseph Stalin. His ultimate goal, as he has stated himself, is to re-create the old Soviet Union. Like all bullies, he will keep pushing until he is stopped one way or another. China, North Korea, Iran, our other enemies, and our friends as well are watching to see how Biden reacts.
Joe, what will you do? The whole world is watching.

Linkin Park took home the award for Favorite Alternative Rock Artist this past weekend at the American Music Awards. But shortly after they accepted the award, they ran into some trouble.
They apparently were having some issues with their credentials. The whole situation played out on Mike Shinoda's Snaphat.
The footage showed the band receiving temporary badges. Then later it showed them pleading their case to security and a police officer at the venue who didn't know who they were. And it did not end well for the band as they were removed from the venue permanently.
Did the incident get the band down? Nope. They took it all in stride.

Gina Bartasi, Fertility Authority, Woman Entrepreneur
There is no doubt that Gina came out of the womb wheeling,
dealing, selling, scheming and managing.
She shouts entrepreneur from the second you meet her. She launched Fertility Authority after
realizing at a lunch with a group of women that they were all spending a
fortune on fertility, herself included, and thought there must be a business
here. As I said, her brain has been wheeling
and dealing since she came out of the womb.
Gina grew up in a small town in North Carolina. Neither of her parents went to college and were total entrepreneurs. Her
father was a contractor and would buy speculative properties and build homes on
them and her mother would sell them.
She has worked for as long as she can remember. After graduating high school she went to UNC,
Chapel Hill finishing in four years.
During her time there she waited tables and was smart enough to wait
tables at the only high end restaurant in the area where people left enormous
Gina graduated in 1991 and the country was in a
recession. She took a job right out of
school selling advertising. She was offered no base salary, no health insurance but 15% of everything she sold. She took the job and by the time
she was 26 years old she was making over $125K a year. She bought a
house, a great car and was doing quite well. She built up that worth over 5
years from 21-26 building a mans company.
She decided it was time to leave and make it on her own.
In 1996 the Olympics were coming to Atlanta. She could not decide if she should go to
Atlanta and start something or move to NYC.
She had an interview with Conde Nast in NYC. She got off the plane and went directly to
the interview in a white suit quickly realizing that everybody in NYC wears
black not white. The interview went
well. They wanted her to work for
Gourmet magazine but she wanted to work for Vanity Fair. They wouldn't budge so she planted herself in
Atlanta to start a business that she could call her own.
When she launched the first magazine under the Leader Publishing Group she figured out that in
Atlanta she would not be able to sell advertising as the CEO because she was
only 27 and a woman. As a ruse, she put account
executive on her business card. At one
point while she was making a sale to one of the guys at the top of a company he
said to her that he had played golf with the CEO of her company the week
before. She did not correct him but
instead shot back with "what did you shoot?"
She took the profits from the first magazine she launched and funded another magazine called
Catalyst, then two others called Atlanta Woman and Atlanta Jewish Life and also
began to do custom publishing for other publications in Atlanta. During this time she also started at 5013C
naming the top entrepreneurs in Atlanta.
She was 32 and running her own multi-million dollar profitable
company. The cat was out of the bag as she was an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year finalist, Metro Atlanta
Chamber's Small Business Person of the Year finalist and a finalist for
Woman of the Year in Technology.
Then Gina met a woman who was all business her entire life
and gave Gina some advice. She said she
was 52 years old, incredibly wealthy with no children and not married. She told Gina, do not do what I did.
Gina decided that she would never find someone in Atlanta
but she would in NYC. She took a share
in East Hampton for the summer. She'd
fly to La Guardia every Friday night and take the jitney out to her share. One night her roommates were giving her a
hard time about schlepping up there and then going to sleep by 10pm. She said she would prove them otherwise and
went to the TalkHouse in Amagansett for a show and stayed until the lights went
up meeting two twin brothers at the bar, one of them became her husband.
Her life changed. She
had a business and apartment in Atlanta and a place in NYC. She kept that going for 10 years eventually
selling the business in 2006. She had
structured the business in a way that it took on a life of its own with good
people running it and she put herself in the Chairperson role. Very smart.
Looking back she says that she should have sold sooner that owning an
asset that someone else is running for you is not easy.
Gina got married in September 06 in and she was 37 years
old. She knew that she wanted to have
children so she went to see a fertility doctor from the very onset. He said that her chances of getting pregnant
were slim to none. She thought to
herself, what are you kidding me, I can do anything. She spent the next 18 months selling her
business, yoga, meditating, eating healthy to prepare her body to get
pregnant. It was not happening.
That summer she decided it was time to start another
business. She was sitting at the pool
with four other women while the boys were playing golf and realized that
everyone of them were going through fertility treatment. She started to add all the numbers up in her
head and thought there is a business here.
She went into the house and got on register.com and bought the url for Fertility Authority. It was summer 2008.
Gina started to raise money.
All the people who said yes to $100k on 9/12 said no by 9/14. Madoff had wreaked havoc on the people who
were giving her capital. She figured she
could boot strap the business with the $250 she came up with and that $1m was
not in the cards. All her colleagues took
equity instead of cash and now that $1 worth of salary is worth $4/5. 12 months later she raised another $250 and
then another $250 eventually getting to that $1m mark. It took time.
As the economy picked up in 2010 Gina realized they needed
to grow. So they approached EHarmony to
buy their private chat room called fertile thoughts. She flew out to Pasadena until they agreed on
a price without any money in the bank.
She got them to take a check a month over an extended period of
The business started out as an advertising model, think
WebMD for fertility clinics. That worked
and then they began adding a subscription model to the business like ZocDoc for
the fertility industry. They told the
doctors that we can help you build your brand and we will drive traffic to your
site but that is not what doctors want.
They want patient referrals, aka a lead generation business. Fertility authority evolved into that with a
call center where they match a client with the right physician. One of the doctors in the IVF business called
Fertility Authority the 800 pound gorilla.
On a personal note, Gina has two 26 month twins. She is looking to take this business
international. The one thing that she
said to me that really stuck is the importance of women freezing their
eggs. Nobody talks about this. It is a growing business. If you are over 30 and don't see kids
happening in the immediate future, freeze your eggs. Do not be in the position that Gina was at 37
years old where she was told she could not get pregnant. Time, money and heartbreak happens again and
again. Having those eggs frozen when a
woman is young and fertile is an incredible technology gift that can be a game
changer for many.

So inspiring and so relevant to so many women. Building a career without missing the boat for a spouse and family is, I think, the new battle for many of my generation. it's something women don't speak about enough either.

One other problem that some women have is what to do with the frozen eggs after they are done with them. They don't want to "kill" them. They don't want to donate them to anyone else. So, they pay thousands of dollars a year to keep them in storage.

The Herschel SPIRE Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) performs spectral imaging in the 447–1546 GHz band. It can observe in three spatial sampling modes: sparse mode, with a single pointing on sky, or intermediate or full modes with 1 and 1/2 beam spacing, respectively. In this paper, we investigate the uncertainty and repeatability for fully sampled FTS mapping observations. The repeatability is characterised using nine observations of the Orion Bar. Metrics are derived based on the ratio of the measured intensity in each observation compared to that in the combined spectral cube from all observations. The mean relative deviation is determined to be within 2 %, and the pixel-by-pixel scatter is ∼ 7 %. The scatter increases towards the edges of the maps. The uncertainty in the frequency scale is also studied, and the spread in the line centre velocity across the maps is found to be ∼ 15 km s^(−1). Other causes of uncertainty are also discussed including the effect of pointing and the additive uncertainty in the continuum.

EMERGING TRANSATLANTIC SECURITY DILEMMAS IN BORDER MANAGEMENT by Elizabeth Collett, Migration Policy Institute, June 2011, – The sheer volume of global travel, which has risen exponentially since the 1960s, puts border management systems under constant pressure. Beyond that growth, border management systems have had to contend with additional risks associated with these movements. Mass-casualty terrorist attacks, rising illegal immigration, and human trafficking have exposed weaknesses in states' ability to manage their borders effectively. This policy memo examines the infrastructure and policy developments – and challenges – that have occurred in recent years on both sides of the Atlantic, discussing the differing nature and prioritization of those policy challenges.
TRANSATLANTIC RELATIONS IN A MULTIPOLAR EUROPE. by Riccardo Alcaro, European Security and the Future of Transatlantic Relations, April 2011, pp. 15-39. For decades European security was at the core of the transatlantic relationship. During the first half of the 20th Century the traditional reluctance of the United States to get involved in the highly competitive European security system gave way to the recognition that it was in the country's national interest to avoid the emergence of an hegemonic power in Europe. The US felt compelled to intervene with massive military, economic, and human resources in two epoch-making world wars resulting from the collapse of the precarious European balance of power.
NATO's new Strategic Concept – : The new NATO Strategic Concept reconfirms the commitment to defend one another against attack as the bedrock of Euro-Atlantic security and will serve as the Alliance's roadmap for the next ten years.
Close Air Support – Light attack, a revitalized concept in the Air Force, addresses the need for an airplane that offers surveillance as well as strike capabilities and walks the line between remotely piloted aircraft and high-performance fighters.
What is the Purpose of the U.S. Foreign Terrorist Organizations List? – The United States maintains a range of "terrorist lists," of which the Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) list is one of the better known. But in two recent court cases, the U.S. government has offered arguments that raise questions about the purpose of the list.
Defending Against Drones: How our new favorite weapon in the war on terror could be turned against us. – The unmanned spy plane that Lebanon's Hizbullah sent buzzing over Israeli towns in 2005 was loud and weaponless, and carried only a rudimentary camera. But the surprise flight by a regional terror group still worried U.S. analysts, who saw it as a sign that the unmanned vehicles were falling into the wrong hands.

Most buildings are designed to withstand natural disasters such as earthquakes, fire, cyclones and floods. Despite this, some buildings still cannot withstand excessive forces of disaster. Therefore, they end up collapsing leaving scores of people injured with some even losing their lives. This is especially the case in countries which are constantly subjected to natural disasters. A good example is Mozambique, where cyclones are a threat to the safety of buildings.
A cyclone is a large scale wind that rotates around centres with low pressure. During a storm, the intensity of wind is very high to the extent that it can cause a building to collapse. This happens when the cyclone exerts pressure on the windward side of a building. With high pressure, the stability of a building is affected especially when it is not designed to withstand a wind load. For this reason, the building ends up collapsing either partially or totally.
The latest cyclone to have been reported hit the city of Beira in Mozambique. This cyclone claimed the lives of close to 19 people while at the same time destroying infrastructure such as roads and power lines. Many homes were also left without roofing forcing owners to seek refuge in other areas.
With increase in building collapses linked to natural disasters like Cyclones, it is necessary that nations work together. Through this action, countries can be able to prepare for natural disaster before they actually happen. For instance, the government can decide to evacuate people prior to the natural calamity thus saving lives.
Alternatively, governments can put in place appropriate measures to reduce the effects of a natural calamity. For instance, they can opt to construct buildings which can withstand natural calamities. By doing so, the government can reduce the number of deaths and destruction caused. Until this is done, we will continue counting huge losses whenever a natural disaster occurs.


It is no secret that the U.S. "pivot" or "rebalance" to the Asia-Pacific has generated concern in Europe. One can imagine, then, what European leaders thought when U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, in a speech at King's College London last month, urged NATO members to join the pivot through partnerships with relevant nations and security organizations. This proposal was not new; indeed, the outgoing Secretary of Defense echoed other calls for the Alliance to deepen its engagement in the region. While austerity and economic crisis may make such engagement appear unrealistic to European NATO members and would entail serious risks, they are right: the Alliance must act together in this region.
Most NATO members' defense budgets have shrunk since 2008, but the will for new endeavors has not vanished. Increasing resourcefulness through integrative initiatives like Smart Defense are slowly allowing NATO to "do more with less." And, much as it expanded beyond its historical Western European borders after 1989, NATO has gradually increased its purview through partnerships with "out of area" countries, many located in the Asia-Pacific.
This will to forge partnerships is reciprocated. Japan, New Zealand, Malaysia, Mongolia, Australia, Singapore and South Korea have all contributed to ISAF, while the latter three have participated in Operation Ocean Shield – a NATO mission to combat piracy around the Horn of Africa. More recently, the newly reelected Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe wrote a personal letter to NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, seeking closer ties because of rising tensions with China and North Korea. Meanwhile, Park Geun-hye, president-elect of South Korea, has sought Britain and France's support against Pyongyang.
From the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands to the Liancourt Rocks/Dokdo/Takeshima, and the South and East China Seas more broadly, the region is host to multiple longstanding territorial disputes. Additionally, 2012 saw four countries usher in new leaders, who, to increase domestic support, resorted to nationalist rhetoric; perceptibly aggravating regional relations. This caused large-scale anti-Japan riots in China and much saber rattling on both sides. Meanwhile, North Korea by itself poses a threat extending far beyond the region because of its pursuit of nuclear arms.
Given these security challenges, enhanced engagement on the part of NATO carries risks. First, it could create conflict. Much will depend on whether hard-line Chinese leaders view this initiative as an attempt at encirclement. This was, for example, the perception of Shinzo Abe's "democratic security diamond," judging from several Chinese editorials. It could also split the Alliance internally as some European policymakers would see this as a hijacking of NATO – turning its resources to more costly endeavors abroad.
Risks and uncertainty notwithstanding, engagement is necessary. As Secretary Panetta stated: "Europe's economic and security future is – much like the United States – increasingly tied to Asia…the European Union is China's largest trading partner, ASEAN's second-largest trading partner, and ranks third and fourth with Japan and South Korea." In the long-term, moreover, it is unclear that the U.S. will be able to act as a decisive guarantor of regional security. This is precisely why European NATO members cannot afford not to engage.
In Northeast Asia, it could work to ameliorate regional relations, primarily through common projects. This would not be a far stretch: South Korea and China did both take part in Ocean Shield and, with Japan, see no benefit in an out-of-control North Korea. Furthermore, both Japan and South Korea have actively sought help from NATO or its members and have strong ties with the U.S., indicating respect for its capabilities and, perhaps, receptiveness to advice. Since election season, there have also been attempts at mending fences – again largely because of North Korea. As such, NATO could simply give Tokyo, Seoul and Beijing an extra push, getting them to cooperate, converse regularly and, eventually, resolve their disputes amicably.
Within the wider Asia-Pacific, NATO can help create a common regional security framework to replace the current patchwork of alliances. Afterward, through sharing best practices on interoperability and/or Smart Defense, NATO could help these countries pool their resources to tackle issues too large to handle alone, such as piracy and nuclear proliferation. Simultaneously, they could draw in ASEAN and China, also getting them to cooperate on common projects. China's involvement is not hard to imagine: as John Ikenberry has noted, the post-war international order is open and flexible enough to accommodate the aspirations of China, and it is already invested in security terms by virtue of membership on the UN Security Council. One may assume that China is similarly concerned with security in its own region. Together, these countries could even contain North Korea, if necessary. Overall, such a framework could help these countries work more effectively together, increasing regional security and stability.
An initiative to enhance NATO engagement in the Asia-Pacific would entail risks. For European members in particular, the euro crisis presents a seemingly insurmountable obstacle to getting involved. Nevertheless, to wait until national economies are on the upswing again would be a mistake. Nor can the U.S. do this alone. Despite being NATO's leading member, one country does not make an alliance. The support of all members, American and European, is needed to maximize impact and ensure that NATO remains relevant into the future as a global security hub. Countries in the Asia-Pacific have proved receptive to strengthening relations, so policymakers must seize this opportunity to bolster security in a region of growing economic significance. Only by doing so can they take the lead in guaranteeing – to borrow a phrase from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton – a "pacific" century.

Dauphin () is a city in Manitoba, Canada, with a population of 8,457 as of the 2016 Canadian Census, with an additional 2,388 living in the surrounding Rural Municipality of Dauphin (RM), for a total of 10,845 in the RM and city combined. The city takes its name from Lake Dauphin and Fort Dauphin (first built 1741), which were named by explorer Pierre Gaultier de La Vérendrye in honour of the Dauphin of France, the heir to the French throne. Dauphin is Manitoba's ninth largest community and serves as a hub to the province's Parkland Region. The current mayor of Dauphin is Christian Laughland. Conservative Dan Mazier has been the member of Parliament for the Dauphin—Swan River—Marquette riding since November 2010. Progressive Conservative Brad Michaleski is the current member of the Legislative Assembly.

Dauphin plays host to several summer festivals, including Dauphin's Countryfest and Canada's National Ukrainian Festival. Dauphin is served by Provincial Trunk Highways 5, 10 and 20 and is surrounded by the Rural Municipality of Dauphin.

Location

Dauphin is in western Manitoba near Duck Mountain Provincial Park and Riding Mountain National Park, just west of Lake Manitoba and Dauphin Lake and south of Lake Winnipegosis.

History
The nearby lake was given the name "Dauphin" by the explorer Pierre Gaultier de Varennes, sieur de La Vérendrye in 1741 in honour of the heir to the French throne. Settlers began arriving in the area in 1883 and two early settlements, Gartmore and "Old Dauphin" were established. With the coming of the railway in 1896 – the line ran roughly halfway between the two villages – settlement shifted to the present site. This coincided with the beginning of Ukrainian settlement in the area: previously most arrivals had been of British extraction.

Dauphin was granted a village charter on 11 July 1898, with George Barker as first mayor. In 1901 Dauphin was incorporated as a town, with George King as mayor. Dauphin became an important centre for the transportation of grain. Farming still plays a central role in the economy of the area, but its role has been greatly reduced.

From 1974 to 1979, a federally funded pilot project called Mincome provided a Basic income guarantee to residents of Dauphin.

Dauphin was incorporated as a city in 1998.

Healthcare

Dauphin is a regional healthcare hub, part of the Prairie Mountain Health authority. The Dauphin General Hospital (now the Dauphin Regional Health Centre) was established in 1901. The Dauphin Medical Clinic provides access to family physicians and specialists, while providing a walk-in clinic and acute care.

Economy

As the largest city within the Parkland, Dauphin has a trading area of over 50,000 people. A large part of Dauphin's economy is based on agriculture, with farms in this area of the province producing grains, oilseeds, honey and livestock. Dauphin is the home to various industries including manufacturing, health care, education, recreation/tourism and retail. The Canadian distribution centre for Norwex is also located in the city.

Education
The first school building was erected in Dauphin in 1903, a frame building on the present Mackenzie School site. The original Whitmore School was built on Fifth Ave. SW in 1907, followed by the Smith-Jackson School on Main Street South in 1922. Today, the Mountain View School Division oversees K-12 education in Dauphin. The City of Dauphin has 7 schools including the Dauphin Regional Comprehensive Secondary School, Mackenzie Middle School, Henderson Elementary School, Lt. Colonel Barker VC School, École Macneill (French Immersion), Whitmore School and Smith-Jackson Ukrainian Bilingual School.
The Assiniboine Community College Parkland Campus, located in Dauphin, provides post-secondary programming in the Parkland. Programs include business, agriculture, applied counseling, nursing and a range of apprenticeship courses.

Transportation

Ground
The city is served by Manitoba Provincial Trunk Highways:
PTH 5
PTH 10
PTH 20
PTH 5A
PTH 10A
PTH 20A

Air
Lt. Col W.G. (Billy) Barker VC Airport serves the area, however no scheduled flights are operated from the airport.

Rail
Dauphin railway station is served by Via Rail's Winnipeg–Churchill train. The rail line is owned by Canadian National (CN) which also operates freight trains through the town.

Sports

Dauphin is a hockey community. The Credit Union Place recreation complex was built in 2006. It is the home of the Dauphin Kings, an MJHL Junior A hockey team, Turnbull Memorial Trophy winners in 1969, 1970, 1972, 1977, 1983, 1993, and 2010 and Anavet Cup winners of 2010. Formerly, the team played in the Dauphin Memorial Community Centre (D.M.C.C.) arena that was built after the Second World War. Dauphin and the Kings hosted the Royal Bank Cup in 2010, the Canadian National Championship for Junior A Hockey. The 1953–54 Dauphin Kings were inducted into the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame for winning the team's second Western Canadian Intermediate Championship in a decade and capturing the Edmonton Journal trophy.

Dauphin has a history of title-winning baseball teams. Both the Dauphin Redbirds and later the Dauphin Brewers have claimed numerous provincial titles.

Dauphin high schoolers play a big part of the athletics of Dauphin. They have won many awards and medals in volleyball, track and field, basketball, broomball, curling, football, and hockey.

A Dauphin rink composed of curlers Ab Gowanlock, Jim Williams, Art Pollon and Russ Jackman won the Brier, the Canadian men's curling championship, in 1953.

Dauphin has been called the "horseshoe capital of Canada," in large part due to the efforts of Bert Snart (1912–1988), president of the Dauphin Horseshoe Club for 32 years. In 1976 he was inducted into the Horseshoe Hall of Fame in Levittown, Pennsylvania.

Demographics

In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Dauphin had a population of 8,368 living in 3,779 of its 4,048 total private dwellings, a change of  from its 2016 population of 8,369. With a land area of , it had a population density of  in 2021.

The median household income in 2005 was $35,527, below the Manitoba provincial average of $47,875. According to the 1996 Canadian census, Ukrainians constitute the largest ethnic group in the City of Dauphin, with 41.04% of the population. Almost 26% of the population can speak Ukrainian. 24.17% of the residents have English ancestry, 17.61% Scottish ancestry, and 12.3% Irish ancestry, and approximately 10% are of Aboriginal origin.

Danny Murphy does not believe Liverpool will be good enough to beat Manchester City to the Premier League title.
The former Reds star has been encouraged by the business Jurgen Klopp has done this summer, with Alisson, Fabinho, Naby Keita and Xherdan Shaqiri all arriving at Anfield.
The impressive signings have got Reds fans understandably excited about their prospects of major success this season, and Klopp's men have been installed as second favourites for the title by bookmakers.
Murphy certainly expects Liverpool to put up a better fight than last season, when they ended the campaign fourth and 25 points behind Pep Guardiola's runaway champions, and he sees them as City's closest challengers.
But the ex-England man is convinced City – comfortable winners over Chelsea in Sunday's Community Shield – will be lifting the league trophy once more in May 2019.
Speaking to Jim White on talkSPORT, Murphy said: "Fabinho, Keita, Alisson are all good players and they give Liverpool strength in depth and competition for places, which does increase performance, but would any of those players get in City's team?
"[Mohamed] Salah and [Virgil] Van Dijk would get in City's team. Other than that, probably no others [would get in].
"You can't base your transfer policy on buying better players than City have. It is nearly impossible. You can't buy a better player than [Kevin] De Bruyne in midfield, so you have to compete in a different way.
"What I like that Klopp has done is he has signed quality where he has needed it – the middle of the park they were lacking – there is great competition for places and he did it early.
"Shaqiri is a good 'un as well. That is not bad business the money they have spent there. He had a good World Cup and he will create competition for places.
That's Murphy black listed by SKY now, surprised they even aired it.
Danny Murphy has issues with Liverpool and both camel gob and Gary Neville detest mourinho . They are all cunts at the end of the day more ex city players as pundits is what's needed .

City of Lights, City of Angels, L.A.'s annual French film showcase, has always been about maintaining a bridge between Hollywood and Paris. As such, the weeklong event has doubled as one continuous networking opportunity for a certain segment of the biz, and for the 17th edition, it's even more so.
"Up until now we mostly focused on distributors and we realized that there was a gap we needed to fill as more American producers are looking for new talent, co-production opportunities, or are just eager to learn more about how business in done in France," says Francois Truffart, the fest's exec producer and artistic director. "Colcoa has become a good place to scout for remakes, we hope it can also give birth to co-productions going forward."
This year's featured producer is Les Films des Tournelles founder Anne-Dominique Toussaint, who boasts two entries at this year's Colcoa: Rachid Djaidani's Rengaine and Philippe Le Guay's Cycling With Moliere; also set to compete at the Lincoln Center's New Director/New Film fest and Tribeca, respectively.
Per Toussaint: "The success of The Artist and Intouchables, among other recent French films, has strengthen tiesbetween U.S. and French film industries and opened doors for collaborations."
A number of French producers, notably Alain Attal (Blood Ties) and Eric Altmayer (In the House), have projects set up in North America. And as many as 40% of the films presented at this year's Colcoa have a U.S. distributor. Among them: the comedies Populaire and Haute Cuisine (Weinstein Co.); Alain Resnais' You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet (Kino Lorber);
Francois Ozon's In the House and Ziad Doueiri's The Attack (Cohen Media Group); Alexandre de la Patelliere and Matthieu Delaporte's What's in a Name? (Under the Milky Way); and Eli Wajeman's Alyah and Catherine Corsini's Three Worlds (Film Movement).
In this regard, Truffart says Colcoa's No. 1 goal remains to create a promotional launchpad for French films, which is why the Press Sessions and Coming Soon award will bow this year, the latter of which is determined by Colcoa auds and offer the U.S. distributor a promotional campaign via public radio station KPCC.
"Building events around film releases and creating awareness is more crucial than ever considering the skyrocketing
P&A that U.S. distributors have to put up to roll films out," says Truffart.
As opposed to Lincoln Center's Rendez-Vous With French Cinema, Colcoa has never been about high art, but its populist bent hasn't canceled out the intellectual rigor of such filmmakers as Laurent Cantet (Heading South, The Class) or the daring of Olivier Assayas (Demonlover).
"Colcoa has a role to play in North America: It showcases the kind of commercial and well-polished French films that U.S. buyers seldom see playing at festivals," says Lionel Uzan, head of sales and acquisitions at SND.
"The big plus of Colcoa," he adds, "is that screenings are filled and are attended by all the key buyers and important American execs."
