"I've never thought about doubters"- Osimhen states readiness to break new boundaries
The Nigerian striker had a shaky start to his career, but he has gone past that now and he is ready to reach higher heights
Super Eagles striker has iterated his desire to reach higher heights and disappoint his doubters.
Osimhen emerged as the best player at the 2015 Under-17 World Cup after he powered Nigeria to the title with ten goals. He then signed for German side VFL Wolfsburg in 2017.
However, Osimhen was unable to make his mark in Germany after two seasons, he left for Belgian side Royal Charleroi, and that was where his success story began.
Osimhen scored 19 goals in 34 appearances in his first season, and within a year, he left for French side Lille.
The Nigerian hitman also shone in Lille netting 18 goals in 36 games. And after a season, he sealed a record €75million move to Napoli in 2020.
Osimhen struggled in his first season, but he hit his stride last season. This season, Osimhen has continued in the same vein, scoring ten goals in 14 appearances for the Partenopeans.
Reflecting on his career the 23-year-old expressed his delight with how he has developed.
"Now I'm at the top of my shape, I have new goals," Osimhen told Oma Akatugba as per TuttoNapoli.
"To get where I am, I overcame a lot of obstacles. People say I won't last, but they also said when I was rejected by two teams in Belgium.
"You'll never make it," they told me and compared me to players from the past. In football it's normal. But I've never thought about them."
"I'm playing for one of the biggest European clubs and in one of the best leagues in Europe, being named 'Young Player of the Year and achieving many personal goals.
"It wasn't easy if you consider the injury I risked my life with. Yet I came back better than before. For this, I say thank you to God. I won against those who didn't believe in me."
Osimhen is having the time of his life this season, scoring goals aplenty at Napoli. The Partenopeans sit pretty on top of Serie A, eight points above second-place side AC Milan.
He would look to help sput Napoli to their first Scudetto in over 30 years.

Q: BroadcastReceiver gets called even if the app is killed In my app there is a BroadCastReceiver which handles the incoming calls. When there are incoming calls I call some native code methods. I dont want this broadcast receiver to be called when the app is killed after swiping. At the moment even if I kill my application the receiver is called.
The code for the receiver is-
public class CallReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{

    private final String TAG = this.getClass().getSimpleName();
    private Context context;

    public CallReceiver(){
    }

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Log.e(TAG, "In onReceive of CallReceiver");
        this.context = context;

        try {
            // Telephony manager object to register for the listener
            TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

            // Initialising the MyPhoneStateListener class
            MyPhoneStateListener PhoneListener = new MyPhoneStateListener();

            // Register listener for LISTEN_CALL_STATE
            telephonyManager.listen(PhoneListener, PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_CALL_STATE);

        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("Phone Receive Error", " " + e);
        }
    }

    private class MyPhoneStateListener extends PhoneStateListener {

            @Override
            public void onCallStateChanged(int state, String incomingNumber) {
                switch (state){
                    case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK:
                        // This state denotes that the mobile is busy in some call

                            GLLib.pause(true);

                        Log.e(TAG, "Phone busy");
                        break;

                    case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_RINGING:
                        // This state denotes that the phone is ringing

                            GLLib.pause(true);

                        Log.e(TAG, "Phone ringing");
                        break;

                    case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_IDLE:
                        // This state denoted that the phone is idle

                            GLLib.pause(false);

                        Log.e(TAG, "Phone idle");
                        break;
                }
                super.onCallStateChanged(state, incomingNumber);
            }
        }
}

In manifest I have-

      <intent-filter>
          <action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE"/>
      </intent-filter>
  </receiver>

The permission is-

A: Broadcast receivers have nothing to do with the life cycle of your application, Android reads your Application's Manifest and sends the Broadcasts to respective app expecting the particular action. If you wish to stop receiving broadcasts when App is not active then you need to unregister your broadcast in onDestroy of your Activity/Service
unregisterReceiver(BroadcastReceiver receiver)

A: The simplest way to solve the issue is
 Register BroadCastReceiver in onResume, unregister in onPause

Hope this should work for you.

Earth Day and the 50th Anniversary of Silent Spring (JMU 2022)
Home Student Required Reading JMU 2022Earth Day and the 50th Anniversary of Silent Spring (JMU 2022)

Rachel Carson…she's one of my heroes.
This year for Earth Day (April 22, 2012) it is fitting to honor the 50th anniversary of Rachael Carson's book, Silent Spring.
Rachael Carson
This book moved the world by heightening our awareness of the environment and the affects of indiscriminate use of pesticides. It ushered in the modern era of environmentalism and caused the eventual ban of DDT, an organochorine insecticide.
DDT is a chemical that persistently bio-accumulates up the food chain; it is linked to causing cancer in humans and wrecks havoc in the environment. The American Bald Eagle almost became extinct as a result of DDT.
Ironically the chemist that synthesized DDT was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1948 because it was very effective in killing the insects that caused malaria and typhus. It was used everywhere for any insect problem. No one knew at that time that it would bio-accumulate up the food chain or cause cancer.
Silent Spring was published in 1962. It was an environmental awareness tsunami that ignited the public in natural resource conservation. This movement eventually led to the passage of the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency, the first Earth Day in 1970 and many other environmental milestones that protect our natural resources including HUMANS.
Carson testified before Congress in 1963 about the indiscriminant use of DDT and its effects on humans and the environment. She was in a battle with cancer herself and died in 1964 at the age of 56. She was a courageous champion for human rights and the environment.
Environmental awareness has continued to grow ever since Silent Spring was published and it has never been greater than it is today. Environmental Science and Conservation Biology were unheard of in 1962. Now, these are standard curricula in high schools and universities throughout the world.
When I was a child there were rivers so polluted they were declared "fire hazards". Today there are no rivers in this country that are "fire hazards". Our rivers and streams are much cleaner than they were in 1962; back then, waste water treatment only removed solids. Today, in many states such as Virginia, we have the best sewage treatment in the world which not only removes solids but kills bacteria and removes nutrients as well.
Fifty years ago we never heard of fencing cattle out of streams or "open space easements". Today, thousands of miles of streams have been fenced off from livestock, millions of trees have been planted along those streams and most states have farmland protection programs. In Virginia over 600,000 acres of farmland have been protected from development voluntarily with a myriad of incentives.
There are now whole watersheds completely covered with agricultural Best Management Practices making their streams clean enough to stock with native trout. Poague Run in the city of Staunton,Virginia is one shining example.
Fifty years ago we never heard of "nutrient management". Today, every poultry operation in Virginia and every "Confined Animal Feeding Operation" (as defined by EPA) in the country has a nutrient management plan. Agriculture, in the Chesapeake Baywatershed has achieved half of its nutrient reduction goals to restore the Bay. This is a great start for restoring the Bay.
Carson opened our minds with Silent Spring and today, pesticide development, release and sale is regulated. Environmental groups today have "standing" in court; fifty years ago non-profit organizations did not. Through the efforts of environmental groups DDT, 2,4,5-T (agent orange), Furadan, Chlordane and Toxaphene have all been taken off the market because of persistent bio-accumulation, toxicity and harmful effects to humans and the environment.
The populations of Bald Eagles, Eastern Bluebirds, Atlantic Puffins, California Condors, the American Bison and many more have come back because of grassroots environmental efforts.
We have thousands of public parks, natural areas and forests to manage and enjoy. We also have tens of thousands of grassroots organizations like the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Friends of the River organizations, Land Trusts, the Wildlife Center of Virginia and 3,000 local Soil and Water Conservation Districts across the country. All of this makes a huge difference and all the efforts of individuals from teachers to volunteers make a huge difference because stewardship can only happen…through people.
We have many issues ahead of us, big ones too like global warming, food insecurity and restoring the nation's largest estuary, the Chesapeake Bay. I think everyone would agree that we are moving in the right direction; it's not at the pace we'd like, but nonetheless, we are moving in the right direction.
Let's keep up the good work, accelerate our pace, set our goals higher and celebrate the wonderful things we have done to improve the natural resources in our care. Working together we can and do make a difference.
Rachel Carson, thank you for opening our minds and helping us move forward.
Alyssa Geary
As someone who has always been an Environmental advocate, I find it satisfying and hopeful that the publication of a book was efficient in aiding many environmental issues and birthing environmental protection groups and movements. I strongly believe that the environment is the foundation of all things, important to all forms of life, and its health absolutely needs to be improved, maintained, and protected, including all who reside in it. For me, collecting soil samples for nitrate testing in fields of lush corn not only further opened my eyes to the importance of conservation, but the impact of an individual.
Wonderful comment, thank you.
Michael Maye
I had heard of "Silent Spring" before reading this article and I knew it was popular in the academic community, however, I wasn't aware that it had a big enough impact to influence environmental laws and regulations. The laws that were put into place from the reaction of this book really made a difference back then, and they are still benefiting society to this day, decades later. I am grateful that Carson was intelligent enough to inform others on the dangers mistreating the environment and how that can eventually have negative health impacts human health.
Spot on, Michael. Thank you.
Anna Sortore
I remember hearing stories from my mom about the state of the environment in the late 60s when she was still very young. She distinctly remembers biking down her neighborhood with her friends as a government truck passed by releasing pesticides containing DDT, and she was left in a cloud of chemicals. With the release of Silent Spring and Carson's hard work, these occurrences soon ended when DDT was finally banned in 1972. The advancement in environmental protection in the past decades is encouraging, as we are continuously told how hopeless the current climate situation is. It shows that despite the work we have ahead of us, myself and all other environmentalists can have an impact through our actions, just as Carson did over 60 years ago.
So eloquently written. Thanks for the story. You are making and will make an impact, indeed.
Sophia Rubin
It's easy to forget how far we have come when faced with the dire warnings of climate scientists. Without people like Carson who devoted so much of their lives to protecting the health and safety of the public and the environment, we would not have made such progress and countless more people would have become sick and died. I am curious to know the effect ending the usage of these chemicals had on disease-spreading mosquitoes and how the spread of the diseases listed in the article was influenced in years after. I would like to know more about the kind of opposition Carson and other researchers faced when trying to lobby for the banning of these chemicals and what kind of herbicides and pesticides are being used now on non-organic produce and what standards are now used to protect the environment and consumers.
Sophia, good questions! Here is the FIFRA site. It's the law that governs to use of pesticides.https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/federal-insecticide-fungicide-and-rodenticide-act-fifra-and-federal-facilities
Chelsea Lang
I think one thing that Rachel Carson did a fantastic job of was recognizing the importance of her audience so that she could be effective at spreading her message to more than just one community, which ultimately had a huge impact on the environment. While she had a technical background in marine biology she never got sucked into only communicating with others in her field. Instead, she made the effort to bring everyone into her world by writing books like Silent Spring, which average people could relate to, as well as delivering speeches to lawmakers who didn't share her expertise. I think about this a lot, that what matters isn't just that I understand something but that I could explain it to a variety of audiences and portray it in a way that appeals to each because makes all the difference in creating change.
Very good points here, Chelsea. Thank you.
Leah Wilczynski
Almost all geography classes at JMU include Rachel Carson's "A Fable for Tomorrow" at some point in their reading curriculum. Carson's writing in "Silent Spring" combines beautiful prose with environmental calls to action in a way that the average American could understand. It's easy to look back today and say that chemicals like DDT shouldn't have been used, but it's impressive to see someone from that time calling attention to science and the harm DDT and other insecticides were doing to the environment. Today, groups like the Chesapeake Bay Foundation are prominent not only in policy but also in education, and that is such an important aspect of environmentalism that can be traced pack to environmental heroes like Rachel Carson. Although the path towards environmental recovery seems to be more tumultuous than ever due to the vast monetary power of corporations and needless bureaucratic roadblocks, I hope that there continues to be calls to action from other environmentalists like Rachel Carson.
Spot on, Leah. Thank you.
Hayden Abbott
After reading this post, I thought back to the discussion we had last Thursday. Rachel Carson understood how to share evidence of environmental damage with the general public, one of the hardest things to do in today's society. To be able to start such a large grassroots movement and communicate something without bias, prejudice, or through a political lens is incredible. Rachel Carson's work laid the foundation for the future of this field because she started a nationwide push for change. I think that in a way we have lost the ability for something of that scale to occur again. We understand climate change is a real threat, yet our political landscape has become so divided we are constantly taking steps forwards and backward.
Hayden, I feel your pain. Good news though, Congress passed and the President signed the biggest climate action plan on Earth.
Sydney Forman
"Silent Spring" created a monumental turning point for the United States in regard to our planet's environmental health. In the past 60 years the health of the environment has greatly increased due to this turning point but is commonly overlooked since there is still much to improve upon. This book not only brought attention to environmental science and conservation biology but led to the passage of many powerful legislative documents still in use today. I find Rachel Carson incredibly inspiring and a role model to show how using your voice and creating action, whether in literature or before Congress, can make a large impact. The publication of "Silent Spring" along with the results of change happening in legislation and more public awareness makes me feel optimistic about the future of our planet.
Wow, Sydney, very well written. I am very proud of you.
Hayden Taylor
It's interesting how a lack of knowledge and foresight can have long-term detrimental effects, such as in this case with DDT, which was originally considered to be beneficial to humanity. It is easy to see how difficult it would be to realize what is causing a rise in cancer cases, especially if bioaccumulation was poorly understood at the time. I believe that similar future cases will become easier to prevent or predict as human understanding of the environment improves. However, it is fortunate that Rachel Carson was able to spread awareness of this issue when she did, paving the way for the numerous environmental milestones that came after, pushing humanity in a better direction.
Jackson Barnett
More often than not I look around at the current state of the world's natural environments and how they are managed and get discouraged. To me, it is very easy to focus on the negatives surrounding our natural resources and get caught up in all the work that is still left to be done. I think that the work of Rachel Carson and other early environmental activists is integral in realizing the big picture in the long struggle for conservation and stewardship. Looking at what figures like Carson had to work with and seeing the impact they were able to create within our societies helps ease the natural discouragement I often feel. Sure, we are a long way from reaching widespread sustainability and conservation, but we are also very far down the road from having rivers on fire and unregulated industries. If the story of Rachel Carson has taught me one thing, it is the importance of continued resolve in the fight for our environment. Just as one book can change the world's outlook, so can every little effort we put in. I'm sure Carson didn't think her book would change the world when she first wrote it, but the prospect of contributing to the change that she initiated is an exciting one to say the least.
Bravo, Jackson. Well written.
Nick Finguerra
I think it's fascinating that even a few decades ago, rivers could be labeled "fire hazards," and practices as common as the use of DDT were considered beneficial. It shows some perspective on how far we've come in our understanding of our effect on the environment. It makes you wonder what other practices we unknowingly do that will have some irreversible effects down the line. We may not all be climate scientists or biologists, but realizing that collectively some of our actions can accumulate into biological disasters can help us all be conservationists. The divide between the scientific community and those without a basic understanding of climate change continues to be a problem, a gap that Rachel Carson and other activists have helped close a great deal so far.
Declan Arnott
Reading this post has helped me see the progress that has been made over the past 60 years. With the use of "Silent Spring", Rachel Carson, effectively changed the behavior and habits of our society for the better, which is no easy feat. This was due to her ability to take complex problems involving the environment and thoroughly cover the topics with a refined and polished style that made the problems easier to understand for the general population. Rachel Carson's writing is a great example and is what is strive for in my writing.
Josey Txakeeyang
While reading this post, I thought it was interesting to see how chain reactions happen even though the catalysts are very different. DDT caused harmful long term effects to humans like cancer, greatly impacted the environment from accumulating in the food chain, and threatened wildlife populations.
Similarly though, just as DDT had a huge impact on the environment, so did Rachel Carson. Her courage and activism lead to the establishment of so many great things. "Grassroots" organizations like the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Environmental Protection Agency, Soil and Water Conservation Districts and many more would not have been possible without someone brave like Rachel Carson. Comparing the two domino effects reminded me that every action has a consequence, good or bad, and that it's important to really think about the pros and cons of big decisions. Rachel Carson is inspiring and I hope more people learn about her story.
Nathan Brent
Through her book "Silent Spring," Rachel Carson shifted not only the political landscape toward sustainable practices but captured the hearts of a nation towards building a better future. Carson showed the world how she loved and respected nature in a dynamic way that cared more about nature itself rather than just looking at the numbers. Her connection with nature spread to her audience and led to real change in practices and mindsets leading to the effects of DDT being mitigated. Rachel Carson's book and actions directly led to the recovery of bird species from the reduction of DDT usage. Her amazing connection to nature inspired the lives of many to care about the world that they live in in a more creative and dynamic way. Very few environmental heroes since Rachel Carson have had such a massive impact, but in this modern information age, it is very possible to have a similar figure arise and change the world in a positively dynamic way.
Nathan, nice post. It is indeed very possible for a single person to change the world in a positive way. Remember Margaret Meade? She said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
Tyler Aston
Having worked with civil and environmental BMPs and their subsequent management in the construction industry, it is very interesting to see where they originally came from, and the value in their use. Carson was well ahead of her time calling out the misuse of harmful chemicals like DDT, and the world is undoubtedly a better place because of it. I think it is also very interesting how Silent Springs had a snowball effect on the world's knowledge of environmental hazards, and how we properly care for the environment. Silent Springs served as a large and much-needed catalyst for the future of environmental policy, regulation, and education. This is not to mention not only the countless animals and creatures Slient Springs saved, but also the lives of so many people by bringing the harms of DDT to the public eye.
Nice comment, Tyler. But, for clarification, the title is Silent Spring, no "s". There is a big difference.
Nick Bower
I have studied Rachel Carson on the past and this post reminds me of how the contributions or changes she made in the environmental science field have impacted all the many environmental initiatives today. Not only having the disciplined background in scientific research but also having the ability to convey the situation behind harmful environmental findings on a digestible and relatable way to the public audience is what really gets the ball rolling for environmental improvement and management. The reaction the environment has to human intervention is complicated and extremely complex… the language or the processes often don't make sense to the lay person but language that appeals to the senses, danger, or experienced trauma/hardship does.
Joseph Dunnigan
It is inspiring that the work of one person could spark such large environmental reform in this country. I can't say that I've seen someone in my own lifetime make this kind of impact, and I wish that I could have witnessed first hand the shift of the tides that her work sparked. Her work on DDT may have spared thousands, if not millions, of human and animal lives, and the fact that it was not realized before shows a lot about the greed and carelessness regarding corporations. I hope in my lifetime to experience an environmental movement like the one from the 60s and 70s, as there is still much more progress to be made.
"If you want to understand the perspective of a dedicated cattle farmer, educated ecologist, and water-quality specialist, this is the book for you!
Turn these pages and feel the frost on your nose in winter, hear quail calling in the spring, taste a homegrown tomato in the summer, and watch Monarch butterflies fuel up on nectar in the fall. . . . truly spectacular stuff!"

Sold! The Historic Cutler Mansion in Duluth Originally Listed For $849,900
David Drew Published: August 30, 2022
Duluth's Cutler Mansion / Zillow.com
Built in 1912, the Cutler Mansion is one the most recognizable houses in the Duluth. It features a limestone facade and sits on a nice corner lot. It's not often that a piece of history is available to purchase, but this property hit the market in April, 2022, for $849,000.
What's particularly unique and intriguing about this listing is that while it was built as a single-family mansion, it has since been made into a four-plex so the new owner could keep it that way and generate revenue. They could also revert it back to single-family home as originally intended or go in a whole new direction with the property.
I think you'll enjoy taking a look through the Cutler Mansion and seeing what the new owners ultimately paid for the home. They closed on the property in August.
Featuring a limestone facade and a castle-like appearance, one of the most recognizable homes in Duluth is the Cuter Mansion. In April, 2022, this historic home went on the market for just under $1 million.
Dwight Cutler, a building materials mogul, obviously spared no expense when commissioning the construction of this residence, which was built in 1912. The exterior stone was quarried from Lake Erie's Kelly Island and the woodwork throughout was skillfully crafted.
The mansion features 8,484 square feet including 12 bedrooms and 7 baths on a large, treed, corner lot. It also provides 4 attached garage spaces.
What's interesting about this listing is that it could be a revenue generator for the new owner. It was built as a single-family residence, but has since been converted into a four-plex. Each unit of the four-plex features large living spaces, spacious bedrooms, full kitchens, and private laundries. It also provides gorgeous common spaces.
While the home was being used as a rental, but it could also be used as a multigenerational home, possibly a bed and breakfast, or even converted back into a single-family home.
There are a lot of great options for the new owner, who closed on the home on 8/26/2022. The Cutler Mansion was originally listed for $849,900, but ultimately sold for less.
Take a look through this historic property, the sale price is shown on the last picture.
Sold! Iconic Mansion-Like Duluth Home Originally Listed for $999,500
The Congdon area of Duluth is full of rich history and iconic homes that are a reminder of Northland's past. While it's always fun to drive through the area and look at these mansion-like homes, it's not often they hit the market.
However, one such home did become available early 2022, originally hitting the market for with a listing price of $999,500.
This brick Congdon Estate, located at 2627 E. 7th Street in Duluth, was built in 1917 and totals 6,645 square feet. It features 5 bedroom and 5 baths.
Once you walk onto the restored concrete front porch and into the home, you'll love the hardwood floors, natural woodwork, oversized fireplace that sits in an immense living room, and the Master Suite with its own gas fireplace and a brick sun porch.
There's also a sunroom, formal dining room and an amazing kitchen which comes complete with commercial appliances and a full, original butler pantry/room.
The list of unique and gorgeous features goes on and on. Did I mention the home sits on a nice, big double lot complete with 3-car garage?
I'm sure the new owners are loving it now! The new owners closed on the home on June 17, 2022 and they got a good deal when compared to the original listing price.
Care to guess what the sale price was? Take a look through the home, the sale price is shown on the last picture. Hint: They got a nice deal.

THE FACTS: Come April, Concordia may have a final candidate to replace interim President Frederick Lowy as president and vice-chancellor of the university. The presidential search committee is scheduled to meet again before the end of January to review and finalize a short list of candidates. The committee's work is confidential, so no names have been released. However, university spokesperson Chris Mota wrote in an email that "a recommendation will be ready for the Board of Governors for April 2012 with the candidate to take office, ideally, as of August 1, 2012." The university hired consultant Laverne Smith & Associates Inc. to pre-interview candidates.
WHY IT MATTERS: Other than being the highest ranking position at the university, the president's office has seen enough controversy in recent years to deserve a critical eye. Concordia's previous president, Judith Woodsworth, was dismissed by the Board of Governors in 2010, while her predecessor Claude Lajeunesse left office halfway though his five-year contract due to conflicts with the administration.
THE FACTS: The Concordia Student Union plans on continuing where last semester left off, launching a new campaign to protest the Quebec government's tuition hikes and addressing the possibility of preparing for a vote to strike sometime this semester. While last fall saw some student participation in protests and rallies against tuition fee increases, CSU VP external Chad Walcott said "a student strike could be the next step in a Quebec-wide protest."Walcott added that before anything can be done, "the movement will have to regain momentum" lost over the winter break. A demonstration set for March 22 is already in the planning stages and members of the CSU have put together a document outlining tentative plans to be presented at council on Wednesday.
WHY IT MATTERS: Tuition in Quebec is set to raise $325 a year over five years for university undergrads, and whether or not you agree with the increase, it's ultimately up to students to decide whether Concordia's undergrads will be going on strike for more than just a day.
THE FACTS: Break out the posters and in-classroom speeches: Concordia's student associations will be gearing up for another round of general elections this spring. The Concordia Student Union, the Arts and Science Federation of Associations, and others will all be holding elections to fill their executive positions.
WHY IT MATTERS: Spring general elections should be anything but uncomplicated if last semester's byelections are anything to go by, between the accusations of electoral violations, mistakes caught at polling stations, and the firing of two separate chief electoral officers. Not to mention the fact that last year's CSU general elections resulted in the CEO disqualifying both parties, only to have his decision later overturned by the judicial board and CSU council.
Are you the next fashion victim?


Fiery Juventus defender Medhi Benatia took centre stage Thursday as Morocco coach Herve Renard named his 23-man squad for the World Cup, while Ahly striker Walid Azaro has been left out.
The 22-year old speedy striker has been in a blistering form with the Red Devils having scored 22 goals in all competitions, including 18 in the league to claim the Egyptian Premier League top scorer award.
he has been initially included in the provisional squad by coach Herve Renard before being dropped on Thursday.
Benatia, fresh from helping Juventus to the Italian league-cup double, is one of 19 players in the squad who ply their trade in Europe.
He seems set to be not too far from the headlines in Russia after a dramatic campaign in Italy which saw club coach Massimiliano Allegri telling him to "shut up" during a match.
It was also former Bayern Munich star Benatia who conceded the controversial late penalty which gave Real Madrid a place in the Champions League semi-finals at the expense of the Italians in April.
Morocco are in Group B at the World Cup finals which get underway on June 14 along with Spain, Portugal and Iran.
Morocco last played at the World Cup in 1998.

Teenagers who play violent video games may display increased activity in areas of the brain associated with emotional arousal, according to research from the Indiana University School of Medicine, located in Indianapolis.
A summary of the study is available from the Indiana University School of Medicine.
Researchers used magnetic resonance imaging to monitor brain activity in 44 adolescents randomly assigned to play either a violent or a nonviolent video game. Immediately after playing the games, those who had played the violent video game exhibited more brain activity in a region thought to be important for emotional arousal, and less activity in a brain region that governs self-control, compared with those who had played the nonviolent game.


The US$259 million project will be launched from China but the control system will be in Laos after the launch, Minister of Posts and Telecommunications Mr Hiem Phommachanh confirmed at a press conference in Vientiane yesterday.
A high-level Lao delegation is preparing to leave for China for the launch of the project, which is considered a landmark in Lao history, aiming to spur many facets of development and industry.
"Everything is now ready for the launch," Mr Hiem said.
He explained that there are two orbital slots specifically allocated to Laos, including 128.5 degrees East and 126 degrees East. Under the 'use it or lose it' principle, Laos must abide by this guideline within the specific timeframe.
"Actually the timeframe for 128.5 degrees East orbital slot has already finished in May 2015, but we have gone to Geneva to negotiate and got it back," Mr Hiem said, saying that the timeframe for the 126 degrees East orbital slot will finish in a seven year period.
Despite the fact achievements have been made on this project, Mr Hiem was still concerned about how to recoup the investment capital as the planned satellite will last for 15 years.
In an era of economic competitiveness, it was always a challenge for Laos to earn money from this business to launch the new one to replace it after 15 years.
However Mr Hiem said the many years of experience of the Chinese shareholders in the Lao Sat-1 Joint Venture Company would result in a profitable venture that would also benefit society.
The minister said the Lao Sat-1 will be placed in the slot which covers 15 countries, which means Laos can sell some of its transmission space to other countries because demand in Laos is still small.
Mr Hiem described the achievements and challenges since the start of the project.
Work on the satellite project began in 2006 but was delayed while funding was procured. Then in 2012, the Lao government signed a US$259 million loan agreement with the Export-Import Bank of China.
"Our main challenges are finance and human resources. We have sent 50 people to train overseas for this project," he said.
A shareholders' agreement for the Lao Sat-1 Joint Venture Company was signed in Vientiane on October 30 between the Lao government and the three Chinese developers.
The government will hold a 45 percent stake in the Lao Sat-1 Joint Venture Company, while APMT has a 35 percent shareholding, SSTC has 15 percent, and APST has a 5 percent stake.

35% Indian CMOs expect V-shaped recovery of their industries: Report.
Around one-third of Indian chief marketing officers (CMOs) participated in a survey said they are hopeful of V-shaped recovery of their industries on the back of performance of the agriculture sector and increasing demand of the FMCG products, according to a report.
About 23 per cent of them expect the economy to likely rebound in two years, said the report by Octane Research conducted with over 250 leading CMOs and leaders from the Indian industry.
According to it, only 15 per cent of India's CMOS expect their industry to have a delay in rebound with a W-shaped recovery.
The report was a part of its research study to gain first-hand insights and perspective on outflanking the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, said Octane in a statement.
"As many as 35 per cent of India's CMOs are hopeful their industry will have a V-shaped recovery and further boost the economy," the Octane research report said, adding, this relatively positive sentiment for their industry is based on the farm sector's performance, coupled with a reliance on industries catering to essential commodities and FMCG that experience a comparatively inelastic demand.
The report also highlights that Indian CMOs responded to the challenge of the lockdown by steering their mindset and strategy to a "Digital First" approach.
"They proactively leveraged technology to reach out to consumers online, engaged them with digital marketing — to encourage purchases via self-owned and third-party e-commerce platforms. They also invested in post-purchase redressal systems in order to better serve consumers and resolve their issues," it added.
The better sentiments of Indian CMOs on the recovery of their industry may also be driven by increased internet penetration, which is opening up new avenues for marketers to cost-effectively increase consumer reach via e-commerce in urban and rural markets amidst limitations imposed by pandemic, it said.

Helping college towns cope
Who pays the cost of out-of-control drinkers? A hearing this week will explore alternatives.
State Sen. Andy Dinniman and fellow members of the Senate Democratic Policy Committee will conduct a public hearing Wednesday in West Chester to search for ways to help college towns cope with the costs of dealing with out-of-control drinkers.
The goal of the hearing, Dinniman said last week, is to "hear some solutions" to how to pay for increased police protection in towns such as West Chester, State College and Bloomsburg where bar-goers, not all of them students, have been known to have one or two or three drinks too many.
The hearing is scheduled to run from 4 to 5:45 p.m. in Courtroom No. 1 of the Chester County Courthouse in West Chester.
Dinniman said that although the hearing was being conducted by an all-Democratic group, there was bipartisan support in the Senate for efforts to deal with the problem.
West Chester officials and police have long complained about the cost of dealing with late-night drunks, and say that more police are needed - police that the town says it can't afford.
Dinniman said that among the possible ways to help towns pay for increased police protection are letting them tax drinks in bars and restaurants, as Philadelphia does, or imposing a flat tax on bars and other places that serve alcohol.
Other possibilities, he said, would be requiring colleges to pay an impact fee to their towns. The state also could divert sales-tax funds from drink sales that currently go to the state police to enforce liquor laws, and giving the money to local police departments for the same purpose.
Among those expected to testify at the hearing, Dinniman said, are Madeleine Adler, president of West Chester University; H. Paul Fitzpatrick, president of the borough council; borough police chief Scott Bohn; and P.J. Stapleton of the state Liquor Control Board.
Also expected are representatives of local bars and restaurants and the university's student government.
The senator said that while someone not on the schedule might be able to show up and testify, that seemed a long shot given that the whole session is going to last only an hour and 45 minutes.
For more information about the hearing, call Dinniman's office at 610-692-2112 or e-mail andydinniman@pasenate.com.

The upcoming Cadillac ATS 2013, an all-new compacy luxury sports sedan, was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show by Cadillac. The ATS 2013 will feature an all-new lightweight, rear-wheel-drive architecture with one of the lowest curb weights in the segment - less than 3,400 pounds (1,542 kg). This lightweight structure will help the ATS deliver more fuel efficiency and improved performance specs.
Oshawa, Ontario (January 10, 2012) – Cadillac today introduced the 2013 ATS, an all-new compact luxury sports sedan intended to challenge the world's best premium cars. Developed on an all-new, lightweight vehicle architecture, Cadillac's entry into the world's most significant luxury car segment goes on sale this summer in North America.
A broad lineup of engines – including two four-cylinders (built in Tonawanda, N.Y.) and a V-6 for North America – delivers strong power to the ATS and capitalizes on the car's lightweight structure to complement its performance with efficiency. The optional engines include an all-new 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder rated at 270 horsepower (201 kW) and Cadillac's award-winning 3.6L V-6, estimated at 320 horsepower (238 kW).
The ATS is expected to deliver 6.5L/100km on the highway.
Making the ATS one of the segment's lightest cars was a fundamental criterion for and the guiding principle during its development, but it was done in a nuanced manner that ensures a refined driving experience.
Optimizing the ATS's mass was the result of a four-pronged philosophy that included strict adherence to original architectural goals, measured load management throughout the vehicle, benchmarking components to see if lighter solutions were available and an overall culture that "weighed" the mass of every component in the car against all aspects of its development.
An aluminum hood, magnesium engine mount brackets and even lightweight, natural-fiber door trim panels contribute to the ATS's low overall mass – and reflect the systematic approach of evaluating every gram that went into the car. But some weight was deemed not only beneficial, but essential to the ATS's driving experience. An example is the cast iron differential: Engineers found they could improve fuel economy with a cast iron differential rather than a lighter aluminum version.
And while the rear suspension is mostly steel, the focus on load management and straight links enabled significant weight savings without using alternate materials. This helps offset the weight of the engine and transmission at the front of the vehicle, helping the ATS deliver its 50/50 weight balance, while also contributing to lower noise and vibration. A similar approach was taken on the wheels, where extra structural aluminum was strategically added to further reduce vibration.
The 2013 Cadillac ATS interprets Cadillac's Art & Science design language in a new proportion, tailoring the signature styling and refinement cues for the most compact Cadillac while upholding – and advancing – the exemplary attention to detail and technological elements for which the brand is known.
A long, 109.3-inch (2,775 mm) wheelbase and wide front/rear tracks are the cornerstones of the ATS's firmly planted stance, which is enhanced by short overhangs and taut sheet metal that appears to wrap tightly around the tires. Seventeen-inch wheels are standard and 18-inch wheels are available.
Real wood, plated metal plating and carbon fiber trim and Cadillac's cut-and-sew instrument panel, console and doors enhance the emotional connection to the ATS. Choices of many interior color themes, each with unique accent trim material, cover a wide range of flavors – from light, open and warm to black and serious, to bold, technical and sporty.
The advanced technology safety features complement the ATS's roster of other safety features, including eight standard air bags (10 with optional features), safety belt pretensioners and load limiters, StabiliTrak electronic stability control system with traction control and four-wheel disc brakes with four-channel ABS.
ATS also features OnStar standard for one year. It can use GPS and cellular phone technology to automatically call for help in the event of a crash. OnStar service also includes myCadillac and OnStar myLink mobile apps, which offer vehicle information, controls and OnStar services via the customer's iPhone or Android smart phone.

Knicks return to iso 'Melo, get knocked out of playoffs by Heat
By Kurt HelinMay 9, 2012, 10:51 PM EDT
This year was supposed to be different for New York, and it certainly was unlike any season you can remember — Linsanity, injuries, Mike D'Antoni out and Mike Woodson in, a return to 'Melo ball not seen since Denver.
But it ended like every Knicks playoff series since 2000 — without the team advancing past the first round.
In Game 5 on Wednesday, New York returned to an isolation-heavy, Carmelo Anthony-focused offense against a Heat team that had proven three previous times they could beat that pretty easily. Anthony and J.R. Smith combined to take 60 percent of the Knicks' shots, while LeBron James had seven assists to go with his 29 points, got teammates involved and the Miami Heat cruised to a 106-94 win and a 4-1 series win.
The Heat will face the Indiana Pacers in the next round.
The Heat were favored to win this series because they had too many athletes and too much talent for the Knicks to handle. When Iman Shumpert was lost with a knee injury and Amare Stoudemire had to miss a game after smashing his hand through a fire extinguisher glass case in frustration after Game 2, the Knicks' fate was sealed.
Still, this Game 5 loss has to be frustrating for Knicks fans because the team went away from the formula that worked in Game 4. In that game Anthony and Stoudemire played off each other, all of the Knicks players got involved and they played smart defense.
But back in Miami for Game 5, it was like 'Melo put on blinders and jacked up 31 shots and had just one assist. But at least he made 15 of his shots and scored 35 points — Smith was 3-for-15 but would not stop shooting or taking bad, selfish shots. Stoudemire fouled out with just seven shots and 14 points. Tom Haberstroh of ESPN points out that for the series Anthony and Smith took 200 shots, the rest of the Knicks combined for 121.
LeBron was the anti-Carmelo — he got teammates involved and racked up seven dimes. Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh played well and each had 19 points. Miami took away good looks for the Knicks from three (4-for-13) and after a close opening 18 minutes pulled away for an easy win.
The Knicks now face some offseason questions, starting with how serious an overhaul do they think they need? If they bring back a starting four of Shumpert, Anthony, Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler, then add a veteran point guard like Steve Nash (or Jason Kidd as a fallback) is that enough? Is it with Mike Woodson returning as coach? Or do the Knicks need to think bigger overhaul, like trying to move Stoudemire and bring in a different big name that meshes better with Anthony?
There are no easy answers, although my guess is next year's Knicks look a lot like the Knicks we just saw with just a few additions. But now Knicks fans and management can debate the issue, they have time.
The Heat have bigger issues to focus on, starting with Roy Hibbert and Danny Granger.

Pets at Home sales pass £1bn in year that saw omnichannel sales grow by more than a quarter
Pets at Home's full-year revenues have passed £1bn for the first time, after a year in which omnichannel sales grew by 27.8%.
The retailer, ranked Top50 in RXUK Top500 research, today reported overall sales of £1.06bn in the year to March 26, 10.2% up in total compared to the previous year, or 9.4% ahead on a like-for-like basis, which strips out the effect of store openings and closures. Pre-tax profits of £85.9m were up by 73% from £49.6m a year earlier, and the retailer said it now had more than 865,000 customers subscribing to its products – up by 23% compared to the same time last year.
But, said Pets at Home group chief executive Peter Pritchard: "In normal circumstances, it would have given me great pleasure to reflect on another year in which we have grown sales and profits and successfully executed our proven pet care strategy. These are, however, far from normal circumstances with the rapid, wide-ranging and devastating effects of Covid-19 having an unprecedented impact on all of our lives."
The retailer showed the impact of the wider coronavirus lockdown on its business. Although Pets at Home has been able to keep its shops open, sales have remained below last year's levels since the week of March 27. Online sales have been "materially elevated" but, said Pritchard, they were not able to compensate for the reduced level of in-store sales, while it has also spent £5m on its initial Covid-19 response – affecting profits in the current financial year. Innovations that it has introduced include a "call and deliver-to-car" service.
It added: "Our previous investment in automation, fulfilment and digital capability has given us capacity to process double the pre-Covid-19 level of online orders, both across our UK-wide network of stores, which can be leveraged to meet omni-channel demand, and delivery direct to home. Mindful of the prevailing channel shift to online, which we expect Covid-19 to accelerate, we have been assessing options across our logistics network to ensure that we have a well-invested, fit-for-purpose platform that is capable of managing future growth and driving efficiency benefits."
The retailer says it is now preparing for the end of the lockdown and says it is determined to create "a stronger pet care business in a post-pandemic future". It says that new lockdown shopping behaviour, including social distancing and "the preference to purchase goods and services safely and conveniently" may continue in the future, although long and medium-term effects are hard to predict. The retailer says that having responded quickly and made significant changes to the way it operates, it will need to remain "focused yet agile" in the future. Pets at Home says it is too early to make predictions for its current financial year.

6 ways DHD No. 10 is preparing for increased vaccinations
Continued use of volunteers a priority
Julie Norwood, julie.norwood@pioneergroup.com
MANISTEE COUNTY — District Health Department No. 10 is preparing for an influx of COVID-19 vaccines, health officer Kevin Hughes said during a recent community update.
"We did see, for this current week that we're in, an increase in the amount of vaccine that we did receive," Hughes said on Feb. 23. "What we're hearing from the state is that they are expecting that vaccine levels are going to continue to increase."
Here are six things DHD No. 10 have been doing to prepare for an increase in its vaccination efforts:
1. Creation of off-site clinics
Hughes said DHD No. 10 is beginning the process of moving some of its clinics to off-site locations that can accommodate more people than the local health departments.
"This is in preparation for what we anticipate will be a release of additional vaccine here in the near future," he said, referring to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine currently awaiting FDA approval. "So, we need to get in the practice of operating off-site clinics and all of the issues and logistics that will go along with them."

2. Retooling registration process
Currently, residents of DHD No. 10's region can sign up for the waitlist by visiting dhd10.org/covid-19-vaccine, with the option of calling (231) 715-5557 for seniors 65 and older who do not have internet access.
"We're trying to assure that we could put a secure link out there that individuals can go to and sign up for clinic appointments, while at the same time recognizing that we currently do have a waiting list," Hughes said.
In order to serve both populations, DHD No. 10 is considering a hybrid model "where some folks will be able to sign up online, whereas others will still kind of go old school and (we'll) be contacting people to get them signed up for vaccinations," he said. "And that will most likely continue for some time as we move forward."
7,194 COVID-19 vaccine doses administered in Manistee County
3. Working with community partners
Besides local health departments, vaccinations are being offered through hospital systems, primary care facilities and pharmacies.
Hughes said DHD No. 10 is in frequent contact with local hospital providers to "make sure we're kind of on the same page and not tripping over each other as we attempt to vaccinate those individuals in our community."
In addition, the federal pharmacy vaccination program has required communication.
Hughes said he has been in touch with Rite Aid, which "assure me that when individuals are getting their first vaccine, they're scheduling them for their second vaccine appointment at that same time. So that should not be an issue."
What might be an issue is when snowbirds return to the area before getting their second shot.
"We're trying to do what we can to kind of plan for that," he said, but there's really not a whole lot other than to hope you have an extra second dose of vaccine available that we may be able to provide to them."
4. Continued use of volunteers
From registration to traffic control, Hughes said the success of vaccine clinics have been to due to the volunteers who have stepped up to help.
"We have had a wonderful response from the community in terms of volunteers," he said. "That has helped us to get to the point of being able to vaccinate these larger numbers of individuals, and it will become essential to helping us vaccinate larger numbers of individuals as we continue to to move forward.

In addition, Hughes said DHD No. 10 will utilize help from the National Guard and other community partners as they move into conducting off-site clinics.
5. Conduct dry runs
Beginning March 1, individuals in the food processing and agricultural industries will be able eligible to get the vaccine, however DHD No. 10 said that it will not be ready by then.
"We're hearing from MDARD that they will be providing us with a list of those (food processing and agricultural) sites," Hughes said. "We're still waiting on that. but we are going to reach out and work with two sites, kind of as a pilot to see how this goes. One will be in Oceana County and one will be in Newaygo County."
Hughes pointed out that even though more people will be eligible for the vaccine, it doesn't mean the state will allocate more doses.
"That vaccine will be, you know, part of what we are allocated," he said.
6. Brainstorming one-shot populations
Instead of the two shots the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines require, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine only requires one. While waiting for approval, health officials have been talking about which populations would benefit from a one-shot vaccine.
"This could be a vaccine that would be excellent for our hospital partners," Hughes said. "It's a single dose vaccine that they could use when they're discharging folks from the hospital who have not been vaccinated yet. ... We're also thinking maybe our homeless population that it's difficult to get them back in for a second dose, so maybe one dose would be good for them."
Another population suggested was those homebound. Hughes said they just received guidance on how to transport the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines safely.
"Now that it has been approved that we can transport vaccine, and even vaccine that we have drawn a dose or two up from, we now will be able to move and vaccinate that that homebound population," he said.
Despite the preparation, Hughes pointed out that mass vaccination isn't quite here yet.
"Even though we are seeing a little more vaccine into the jurisdiction, it's still not a whole lot," he said. "(We are) still asking for patience from everybody and we will get through the groups, get everybody vaccinated as quickly as we can."

Last 21st January the Spanish Chamber of Commerce celebrated the NEW YEAR'S DRINKS RECEPTION, our first corporate event of 2015 and the opening of a new exciting year full of activities. We had the pleasure to host this event at the main ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel at Park Lane, member of the Chamber, a perfect setting which contributed to create a delightful atmosphere on this special occasion.
It was a very successful event as almost 250 representatives from Spanish and British companies joined us on the evening. They enjoyed the opportunity to greet the New Year and catch up with other fellow colleagues and also meet new people while developing their networking skills.

Stephen Curry sees the Cavs are having fun and he wants to do something about it

Stephen Curry isn't happy about the Cavaliers having fun, and he wants to the Warriors to do something about it
by Asmir Pekmic (article) and Milos Kitanovic (video)
Cleveland Cavaliers are having the best playoff run in the franchise history and they are enjoying it. According to Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, the Cavaliers are having fun and he wants to do something about it. There is no doubt that the Cavaliers are enjoying their postseason and they are simply playing beautiful basketball.
Things might change soon, however, as the Cavaliers will face off against the Warriors in just a few days. Once again, these two teams will meet in the NBA Finals and it will be interesting to see what the Cavaliers can do against the Warriors, who haven't lost a single playoff game this season.
The Warriors are eager to beat Cleveland
First, it was Draymond Green who expressed his desire to "destroy" the Cleveland Cavaliers, and now Stephen Curry wants to stop their fun. There is no doubt that the Warriors are eager to match up against the Cavaliers once again, and they will do everything in their power to avenge last year's finals loss. The Warriors, who led 3-1 in the series last year, failed to finish off Cleveland as the Cavaliers won three games in a row, winning the championship.
For the most part, you know what LeBron James does, you know what Kyrie Irving does. You know kind of their style and familiar with that. Other than that, I think when you look at the whole squad, they have a good kind of chemistry and vibe. It looks like they're having fun, and we want to do something about that," said Stephen Curry, according to Kyle Boon of CBS Sports.
Curry wants to stop the Cavaliers and make them work hard for their wins. However, he will have to do a much better job as his performance in the 2016 NBA Finals was one of the biggest reasons why the Warriors lost the series.
Game 1 is on Thursday
The long-awaited finals rematch will begin on Thursday in Oakland. Golden State Warriors will host the Cavaliers and will have a home-court advantage throughout the series.
During the regular season, the Warriors had a one-point loss in Cleveland a 35-point victory at home, so having more games on their home floor could be a key factor of the series.
It is interesting to note that this will be the third straight NBA Finals between these two teams. Before 2015, the Warriors and the Cavaliers had never met on the final stage.
Even though the Cavaliers are defending NBA champions, they will be underdogs in the series considering that the Warriors became the first team in NBA history to win 12 consecutive games in the playoffs.

Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra – The Largest Sensor Ever in a Webcam for DSLR-like high quality
The bigger the sensor, the better the image quality: The Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra redefines the visual standards of content creation and streaming. Boasting the largest sensor ever used in a webcam, creators can experience DSLR-level detail and clarity with the plug-and-play simplicity of the most powerful webcam from Razer so far.
The heart of Razer's new professional webcam is an industry leading ultra-large Sony 1/1.2″ STARVIS™ 2 sensor with a 2.9 μm pixel size to capture more light and image data in every pixel for exceptional detail and color.
