Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse says a meeting is in the works with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.Nurse says he hasn’t heard from the U.S. White House about a congratulatory meeting, but the team has been in contact with Ottawa.“Definitely the Trudeau meeting, because they have been asking me about scheduling it,” Nurse told Toronto radio station Sportsnet 590 The Fan on Wednesday. “I have heard nothing about the White House. We are Canada’s team anyway, right?”It was not clear exactly who would attend the meeting or when it would happen.Nurse wouldn’t say if he would accept a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump.“We are here. Let’s go see Trudeau up in Ottawa.”Nurse spoke about how Monday’s victory parade in Toronto affected the team.He said the enthusiasm of the fans, especially the young people and the diversity of the crowd, was moving.“What struck me the most was ‘Gee, everybody from the age of six to 18 is here,’” he said. “And such diversity. It was really something to see a sea of young people who were so excited and showing such nationalistic pride.”During the victory parade Trudeau addressed the celebrating crowd saying the Raptors brought all of Canada together.Trudeau has said he is an avid fan.On Friday, he tweeted “And that’s how we do it in the North” moments after the Raptors defeated the Golden State Warriors in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, becoming the new champions.The prime minister also tweeted a photo of himself with two of his children and the family dog watching the final game at home.Opposition Leader Andrew Scheer also congratulated the Toronto team on their “historic win.” The Canadian Press read more

Rabat- According to recent survey conducted in four major Moroccan cities, over 19,000 women work as prostitutes as of 2011, according to the Moroccan daily Al Akhabr in its May 28 edition.The study, which was commissioned by the Moroccan Ministry of Health in the cities of Rabat, Fez, Agadir, and Tangier, reveals that the majority of the women have resorted to prostitution because of social or economic problems.The study also notes that between 62 and 73 percent of prostitutes have either divorced or lost their husbands before the age of 24, while 2 percent are married. According to the same source, between 300 and 400 sex workers were interviewed in each of the four cities.The study, which did not include Marrakech, which is believed to be a major hub of prostitution, shows that Rabat has the highest number of prostitutes, with 7,333.According to the same study, between 50 and 80 percent of prostitutes live alone, while financially supporting others. The study thus shows that between 45 and 85 percent attend the needs of more than three persons. The survey also shows that the majority of women questioned by investigators claim to have first had sex with their husbands, while 11 to 25 percent admit to having suffered from rape.The survey comes during the heated debate underway in Morocco after the first video clips of the film “Much Loved” were posted on YouTube. The film, which was produced by Nabil Ayouch about the phenomenon of prostitution in Marrakech, caused outrage among many of the Moroccan public public opinion.The controversy surrounding the film prompted the Moroccan Ministry of Communications to ban its screening in the country’s cinemas.“After a CCM group saw the film in an international film festival, it was decided not to authorize the release of the film in Morocco,“ the Ministry of Communications said in a statement on Monday.“The film undermines the moral values and dignity of Moroccan women, as well as all the image of Morocco,” it added. read more

Amazon.com Inc. Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos will retain 75 per cent of his stock in the company following his divorce from MacKenzie Bezos, to whom he has been married for 25 years, the couple announced Thursday on Twitter.Bezos will remain the largest shareholder of the e-commerce giant valued at almost US$900 billion as well as gaining voting control of his former wife’s remaining shares. Bezos will also maintain ownership of The Washington Post and his space exploration company Blue Origin.“Grateful to have finished the process of dissolving my marriage with Jeff with support from each other and everyone who reach out to us in kindness,” MacKenzie Bezos wrote on Twitter. “Happy to be giving him all of my interests in the Washington Post and Blue Origin, and 75% of our Amazon stock plus voting control of my shares to support his continued contributions with the teams of these incredible companies.”MacKenzie Bezos retains 4 per cent of Amazon, according to a filing Thursday.The Bezoses announced their divorce in January, hours before the National Enquirer tabloid newspaper began tweeting that it planned to publish an expose that Jeff Bezos had been having a relationship with Lauren Sanchez, a former TV anchor. The announcement sparked speculation about how their exceptional wealth, estimated at more than US$130 billion, would be divided. Jeff Bezos is the world’s richest person and will remain in that position after the divorce, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.Jeff and MacKenzie Bezos met in New York at D.E. Shaw. Jeff was the first person to interview MacKenzie for a role at the hedge fund and the pair ended up having offices next to each other, according to a 2013 interview with Vogue. They married in 1993 and a year later drove across the country to Seattle, where Jeff founded Amazon. They have four children.Related Stories:Amazon vows to be carbon neutral by 2040, buying 100,000 electric vansMacKenzie, an author, played a significant role at the company in the early years, but her presence faded in later years. Most high-ranking employees saw her at social events the couple hosted at their Medina, Washington, home and elsewhere. They’d also be spotted at Lakeside, a Seattle private school, with their children. When Amazon showcased its new biospheres, the plant-filled architectural centerpiece of its Seattle headquarters, the couple toured the building with a horticulturist. MacKenzie also accompanied her husband to Hollywood events after Amazon began a concerted push into video and original programming.With assistance from Robin Ajello.Bloomberg.com read more

The programme, involving play-related activities in which youngsters aged between 6 and 14 share their stories, games and music, is intended to benefit 1,500 children under the direct supervision of professional psychologists, with 150 young volunteers helping to carry it out. UNICEF said by expressing how they feel, children can start to heal. When a volunteer asked seven-year old Sergio was in his picture, he replied: “They are the people who died today.” At least 46 children were killed in the fire in a suburb of Asuncion, the capital. “I hope these children will go back little by little to their normal lives, without forgetting what happened, but without experiencing ongoing pain,” said 19-year-old Alicia, a volunteer. The programme takes place at local radio station ‘FM Trinidad’, which is broadcasting information about it for anyone interested. The ‘Return to Happiness’ concept was first developed in Mozambique during the 1992 civil war. Adaptable for various situations, it has been used in Ecuador with children of soldiers, in Colombia after the 1998 earthquake and in Nicaragua following Hurricane Mitch. read more

“In addition to continuing political pressure to exhort the DPRK to improve human rights, it is also now imperative to pursue criminal responsibility of the DPRK leadership,” said Marzuki Darusman in Tokyo at the end of his last official visit as a UN Human Rights Council’s independent expert. “Not much has changed in the country almost two years after the report of the Commission of Inquiry,” the Special Rapporteur, whose mandate ends in July 2016, added. According to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), since his appointment in 2010, Mr. Darusman has made several requests to visit DPRK; however, access was never granted. He has been visiting other countries in the region such as Japan, Thailand and the Republic of Korea. “I regret to say that any act that can be construed as violence against the international community has negative implications on the human rights situation in the DPRK,” the expert stressed, noting that his visit to Japan took place following the latest nuclear test by the North Korean Government. “Such an act immediately overshadows the continuous efforts by the international community to improve the human rights situation in the DPRK,” he stated, adding that it was all the more important for the international community to step up efforts to engage the DPRK in human rights dialogue while seeking to ensure accountability. During his five-day mission, Mr. Darusman met with family members of victims of abduction and representatives of civil society organizations. He also met with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Minister in charge of the Abduction Issue, high-level officials from the Cabinet Intelligence, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cabinet Headquarters on the Abduction Issues and parliamentarians, as well as officials of the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court and the National Police Agency. “I am disappointed that there has been no concrete progress since Japan and the DPRK signed a bilateral agreement almost two years ago to work towards a resolution of this issue,” he stressed. “I urge the DPRK to meet their commitment to the agreement and resume actively steps to restore the confidence between Japan and the DPRK.” During his discussion with family members of victims of abduction and the Minister in charge of the Abduction Issue, the expert recalled that the former Supreme Leader of the DPRK, Kim Jong-il, acknowledged that the country had been involved in abductions of Japanese citizens. “Such an acknowledgement, without concrete and comprehensive solutions, naturally raises suspicion that the country continues to be involved and implicated in the abductions,” he said. “We are therefore on a clear path and engaged in a just cause to pursue a final settlement of abduction of Japanese nationals, but also possibly of other nationals.” “Abduction, as a form of enforced disappearance, is a continuous crime, which does not end until the victim’s family learns of the whereabouts of their loved one and, where possible, the survivors are immediately returned to their families,” the expert noted. “Resolving the abduction issue is a matter of urgency. The families of victims are advancing in age.” The Special Rapporteur underscored that the issue also affects the international community. “Progress on the abduction issue will contribute to the beginning of building trust and good will. Failure to act will undermine any good will that any future engagement might be undertaken with reasonable measures of trust,” he said. Mr. Darusman also underlined that the issue of trust goes to the heart of the obligations of every United Nations Member State to observe the Charter of the United Nations. “The DPRK has an obligation to uphold and respect the Charter and international human rights law, exemplary of any full member of the United Nations,” he concluded. The Special Rapporteur will report his findings and recommendations to the UN Human Rights Council in March 2016. Independent experts or special rapporteurs are appointed by the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council to examine and report back on a country situation or a specific human rights theme. The positions are honorary and the experts are not UN staff, nor are they paid for their work. read more

Redshirt-sophomore quarterback J.T. Barrett (left), redshirt-junior quarterback Cardale Jones and redshirt-senior quarterback Braxton Miller share a laugh during OSU’s national championship celebration on Jan. 24 at Ohio Stadium.Credit: Mark Batke / Photo editorWhen two recent Heisman Trophy candidates and the reigning National Championship starter play quarterback for the same team, things could get ugly.But at Ohio State, “it’s all positive” between redshirt-senior Braxton Miller, redshirt-sophomore J.T. Barrett and redshirt-junior Cardale Jones, coach Urban Meyer said Tuesday.“If you watch the three of them, they’re always talking,” Meyer said.Miller — who has been in the top-10 in Heisman voting twice — was the undisputed starter heading into fall camp in 2014, but he tore the labrum in his throwing shoulder less than two weeks before the season started. That paved the way for Barrett to take the reigns of the OSU offense. After losing to Virginia Tech in his second start, the Wichita Falls, Texas, native led the Buckeyes to 10 straight wins.But Barrett ended up fracturing his ankle in the regular-season finale against Michigan, forcing him to miss the Buckeyes’ postseason run. Injury and all, he ended up in fifth place in Heisman voting.Jones replaced Barrett for the Big Ten Championship and the College Football Playoff, and picked up a 3-0 record as he led OSU to a national title.Now just three practices into spring camp, the trio is locked in an open competition for the starting job next season.Even though they’re competing every day, Meyer said the players have been supporting each other in practice.“I just happened to turn around and Braxton and J.T. are talking about football,” Meyer said. “And I saw Braxton walk up and hit Cardale, you know, tap him, ‘Nice job.’ And I just see that, that’s not common.”While the players are technically all in the race for playing time, only Jones is fully fit. Miller is still recovering from his shoulder surgery while Barrett’s ankle isn’t yet completely healed.Meyer said OSU’s medical staff has pulled back on Miller, but stressed that was for precautionary reasons. He added that Barrett has been ahead of schedule so far this spring.“J.T. is doing good, he’s doing more,” Meyer said. “I thought he would be much more limited but he’s getting every mini field and 7-on-7 rep.”As Barrett and Miller continue the rehabilitation process and Jones continues to grind, Meyer said, in general, everything is positive when it comes to his options at quarterback.“Talent, quality people, value to the program, investment in the program,” Meyer said. “Check, check, check, check.”But with all the positivity, there’s just one problem: Only one quarterback takes the field at a time.“It’s not like receiver where you can put three of them out there,” Meyer said. “That’s the only thing that’s starting to eat away at me a little bit.”Regardless of who ends up winning the battle, the Buckeyes are set to take the field against Virginia Tech on Sept. 7 in Blacksburg, Va., to kick off the 2015 season. read more

Loesche GmbH has sold six coal mills for grinding coal in a power plant in Belgium which were first commissioned in 1984. Due to economic reasons the power plant which was operated by Electrabel Belgium with their head office in Brussels had been decommissioned in 2014. Loesche got the chance to repurchase at least four of these mills, type LM 20.2D and LM 19.2D.“As usual for power plants the mills had always been kept in a perfect condition. Nevertheless, these mills will be completely refurbished and equipped with a new classifier customised for future technical specifications.” Loesche says it has always tried to get back the mills from power plants and find clients for these mills. As a reference list it can be summarised that in the last six years Loesche has refurbished and sold the following second hand mills: 4x LM 19.20D, 5x LM 17.20D, 3x LM 16/1180, 7x LM 14.20D, 2x LM 12.20D and 1x LM 9/670. All these mills are again in operation with different raw materials.The refurbished mills together with the partially new components can be sold by Loesche with a price reduction of 50% compared to new mills. “The promoted pre-owned mills are predestined for clients who are interested in the very reliable and valuable Loesche mill technology for a unique low price level together with a reduced delivery time after consultancy with Loesche. The availability and reliability of the refurbished mills are equal to newly manufactured mills.”The mentioned refurbished mills are not only limited to one feed material but can be used for various feed material. The disposal of the mills will be carried out according to the first come first serve principal “since the demand for Loesche second hand mills is very high.” read more

After two heavy defeats at the beginning of the Men’s Olympic Tournament, Serbian NT coach, Veselin Vukovic decided to make a last change in his squad. Left back Zarko Sesum will replace left wing Dobrivoje Markovic. Markovic got a chance to play in 5-1 defense in matches against Spain and Croatia, but obviously Serbian head-coach wasn’t satisfied with his role.Sesum is a player who can be useful on left back and playmaker position. In this moment, Serbian biggest problem is attack, so member of Rhein Neckar Lowen could be a solution. He came to London as the 15th player.Serbia plays against Denmark in the Round 3. ← Previous Story Men’s OG 2012 (Round 3): Scandi derby, Croatia VS Hungary… Next Story → Men’s OG 2012 (Round 3): Second win for Spain in London!

Grande barrière de corail : une plaque sous-marine est au bord de l’effondrementSelon des scientifiques, une immense plaque sous-marine située près de la Grande barrière de corail, au large de l’Australie, est au bord de l’effondrement. Lorsqu’elle cédera, il y a fort à parier qu’un tsunami déferle sur les îles voisines.Des géologistes marins australiens de l’université James Cook ont cartographié les endroits les plus profonds et les plus inaccessibles de la Grande Barrière de corail, au large des côtes australiennes. Grâce à une technologie en 3D, ils ont réussi à découvrir des dizaines de canyons sous-marins. À lire aussiMaladie de Charcot : symptômes, causes, traitement, où en est on ?Ils ont notamment repéré, perchée sur le plateau continental, une plaque d’environ 1 kilomètre cube, reste d’un très ancien glissement de terrain sous-marin. “Les glissements de terrain sous-marins sont un phénomène géologique connu et bien documenté mais nous ne savions pas s’il y en avait près de la Barrière de corail”, a indiqué à l’AFP le géologue Robin Beaman. C’est pourquoi les chercheurs ont lancé leur investigation près des côtes australiennes qui a permis de révéler que la plaque dénichée était au bord de l’effondrement.”Nous avons trouvé ce bloc énorme, qui ressort. Il est posé en haut d’un canyon sous-marin, il va vers la pente et il est au début du processus d’effondrement”, a-t-il précisé. Pour l’heure, personne ne peut prévoir quand ce bloc cèdera. Peut-être cela arrivera-t-il “demain” ou dans des dizaines d’années, “mais il est important de savoir que c’est là”, a indiqué le scientifique. “Il est absolument certain que cela va s’effondrer et lorsque ça tombera, ce sera une chute d’un kilomètre dans le bassin au-dessous”. Le géologue souligne ainsi que cette chute “provoquera un tsunami localisé qui affectera la côte de l’Etat du Queensland, à environ 70 km de là”. Bien qu’il ne veuille pas inquiéter la population, “nous devons savoir que c’est là et ce qui se passera quand ça tombera”, tient à préciser le chercheur.Le 26 décembre 2012 à 18:41 • Maxime Lambert read more

MANILA, Philippines — Typhoon Hagupit slammed into the eastern Philippines on Saturday, pounding communities with torrential rains and howling winds.More than half a million people huddled in evacuation centers, officials said.Hagupit’s winds were packed maximum winds of more than 100 mph when it reached land in the town of Dolores in Eastern Samar province, 340 miles southeast of Manila, the weather bureau said.Hagupit (a Filipino word for lash or whip) maintained its strength after hitting land, weather forecaster Fernando Cada said.The weather bureau raised its storm signal over Manila and other northern provinces to number 1, the lowest level in a four-tier warning system. Rain is expected in that area by Sunday evening.The typhoon will hit land in nearby Masbate province, Sibuyan Island, Romblon province and Mindoro Island, Cada said.Electricity was cut off in many parts of the provinces of Eastern Samar, Northern Samar, Samar and Leyte, including Tacloban City, which was still recovering from last year’s supertyphoon Haiyan.Communications were also cut off in some of the affected areas, according to Interior Secretary Mar Roxas, who was in Borongon City, 30 miles from Dolores.“Everything has been prepared,” he said. “People have done what they need to do to keep safe, but these areas will definitely need help after the typhoon because it’s really very strong.” read more

Tommaso Boddi/Getty Seinfeld was reportedly a show about nothing, and that makes it one of the easiest sitcoms to watch out of order.

It premiered on NBC as The Seinfeld Chronicles on July 5, 1989.

Tags Crutchfield I tried it out, and sure enough, when you select Seinfeld on Apple TV, Hulu has added a “Yada yada yada (shuffle)” option right under the “record” choice. (It chose a season-five episode for me, The Conversion, in which George decided to become Latvian Orthodox for a woman he’s dating, and Jerry freaks out when he finds out his girlfriend has fungus cream. Spoiler: It was for her cat.)Hulu has also sorted the Seinfeld eps into easy-to-watch playlists, including a beginner’s guide, a list of food-centered episodes, episodes taking place at Del Boca Vista, Jerry’s parents’ retirement community, and more.The streaming network asks that viewers who want to see the shuffle button added to other shows retweet the Twitter announcement to let them know.  Sure, why not?
