HELSINKI (AFP) - – Leaders from Baltic region countries pledged urgent action to generate the "miracle" needed to save one of the world's most polluted seas at a summit in Helsinki Wednesday. Over-fished, polluted by agricultural nutrient discharge and uncared for, the Baltic is so toxic Greenpeace says pregnant women should not eat its fish. "We don't expect any miracles, but serious work by all of us which may make a miracle," said Finland's President Tarja Halonen, who co-hosted the summit with Finnish Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen and the Baltic Sea Action Group (BSAG) foundation. The summit brought together national leadership from 11 countries with a Baltic Sea coast or located in its vicinity -- Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Finland Germany, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus and Norway. Increasing maritime traffic, over-fishing and eutrophication -- the overconcentration of nutrients caused by sewage and agricultural run-off carrying fertilizers into the sea -- are key threats to be tackled. "Actions are needed to make the Baltic Sea healthy, and we have to address these problems by taking care of our national economies and the economies of our neighbours," Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said, adding the sea had "always united" the countries in the region. His country received praise from participants for its actions to improve waste water treatment in the coastal city of Saint Petersburg. But most of the meeting focused on the work that lies ahead to save the Baltic, a shallow, semi-enclosed marine environment which is particularly vulnerable to pollution. Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite said "40,000 tonnes of chemical weapons" polluted the Baltic, and called for help from the United Nations, the European Union, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and NATO to clean the sea of all weapons. Numerous ships sunk in World War II also litter the bottom of the brackish body of water, which measures some 450,000 square kilometres (174,000 square miles}, said Finland's Halonen. Some 90 million people live in countries either bordering the Baltic Sea or with major river tributaries, and Norway's Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said 15 percent of the world's cargo traffic already passes through the Baltic. Increasing shipping heightens the risks of oil and chemical spills, and Stoltenberg called for sustainable growth to secure the environmental and economic future of the region. Regional leaders confirmed their countries' commitment to reducing the phosphorus and nitrogen flows that have caused eutrophication, and Poland's Deputy Prime Minister Waldemar Pawlak said his country would invest eight billion euros (11 billion dollars) in improving the treatment of waste water. Researchers say Baltic marine life is being decimated and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) argues only "radical measures" and a ban on eel fishing could save the species in the Baltic. The summit also brought together a range of companies and foundations, which had made pledges for measures to save the Baltic ahead of the Helsinki meeting. Pre-summit commitments include business innovations to recycle nutrients from waste-water and technology to improve communications between vessels and local authorities to enhance safety. In a speech, Finland's Vanhanen reminded participants of the action that must now be taken. "The most important day is tomorrow, when we start implementing our commitments," he said.

I want to again extend my greatest thanks and appreciation for this amazing weekend. The retreat was an eye opening experience and my only regret is that I did not do something like this sooner. I hope to do this again later in the year. Thank you again for setting me on this wellness journey. Guillaume
Next retreat : 23-29 nov. 2019 in Tulbagh, South Africa
"Relax, heal & transform"
Your body is your temple and as such we have developed this retreat to help you awaken your consciousness and transform your relationship with your body, mind and heart. The food we eat plays an important role in loving and respecting ourselves by nourishing us at the cellular level. First, we must detoxify the body from environmental, emotional and physical toxins, then reactivate your energy through the chakras in order for you to shine.
Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini yoga is a physical and meditative discipline that combines asanas (postures), mudras (hand positions), pranayama (breath), and mantras (chanting). Through the practice of yoga, the dormant energy at the base of the spine is raised and travels up the spine, through the chakras, creating an overall sense of well being and a heightened sense of awareness. Another important part of kundalini yoga is to develop the neutral mind and its capacity for intelligence, endurance and integrity. As a result one develops physical, emotional and mental balance.
The Cleanse
The practice of cleansing is considered a vital part of an Ayurvedic lifestyle. It clears accumulated waste and toxicity from the mind and the tissues and encourages optimal health.
These days, a periodic cleansing regimen is more vital to our health than before. Our bodies are being asked to process a seemingly endless barrage of harmful inputs such as environmental toxins, processed foods, unresolved emotions and psychological stress. Over time, these stressors can cause toxicity to build up in the system, deposit in the tissues, and compromise our health. A periodic cleanse helps to clear these accumulations from the body.
This particular cleanse that we will offer during the retreat is based on eating a monodiet of whole grains and kitchari, drinking plenty of detoxifying fluids to support digestion, elimination, and the body's natural detoxification processes. This regimen supports the physiology by slowing the flood of harmful inputs and by providing the body with an important opportunity to rest, recuperate, and repair itself.
See a little glimpse here
The Retreat Includes :
- 2 daily yoga practices
- Nature walks on the farm
- Safe space to heal and transform
- Amazing experience to reconnect within
- A chance to bring your yoga practice to the next level
- Mono-diet based on ayurvedic principles
- Shift your energy and shine
- 6 nights accommodation in beautiful rooms with balcony on views

Abia Warriors head coach Imama Amakapabo has stated that if things go the right way with the right resources, he will deliver as expected.
In a chat with brila.net, he expressed confidence in his aspirations to the club but warned that it won't be accomplished without hard work and also the twin' idealism between himself and the management.
"Everybody dreams, it would be folly of myself and the management if we have this pact and we don't aspire, but a lot of work had to be done and let's not forget that this team had been able to sustain herself and they are one of those teams that have not gone to relegation after coming to the apex league.
However, they have been a mid-table team but with the harmony and unification of working with the management we will be able to go to the top, "he said.

Its a good thing my friend Stacy put up this blog or I would be one of those people who went into the banks and threw my change on the counter and asked for 10 rolls of quarters or something. (Get it, because I could never shoot someone or "go postal").
OK, so here is the beginning of the long saga of the yellow light. Enjoy, again, at my expense.
A long, long, long time ago, when I lived in the glitzy, famous, LA, I was a runner. What is a runner? I'll give you the 1 minute version, a runner is a lowly nothing who gets to drive in their car ALL day and drops off crap to studios. It sucks and you put tons of miles on your car and spend money on gas and get in car accidents, that's a whole different story. The one cool thing is that you get to go to different studios, Warner Brothers, MGM, Paramount, Fox, etc. I got to see Klingons that was WAY cool. But cool things like that came far and few between. As a runner, basically you drive, a lot. When you drive a lot, you are susceptible to traffic violations, car accidents and overall crappy things that go wrong with your car. I had a friend in from Boston visiting so I took him on my "route" with me during work. We were driving through Beverly Hills (the nice part haha) and I was coming up on a green light that turned yellow so I proceeded through it WELL before it turned red. The fact that i had a witness in the car really made me think this cop was just filling his quota because let's face it, how many tickets to you give in BH? My luck, right? So he pulls me over and takes my license and registration and goes away for a while. Of course I am spewing to my friend next to me how ridiculous this is and it was TOTALLY yellow and he agreed, it was, and how sorry he is that he won't be able to go to court with me to be a witness, some friend.
I get the ticket, I get the court date and I get hammered that night. No, just kidding, I actually don't remember what happened, i think i forgot about it and then I got the court date in the mail, THAT I won't forget, I was due in court on February 14, 199? And I didn't have a boyfriend so I was okay with it! So this is the part where I tell everyone a good piece of advice, what I have heard (and has happened in a LOT of cases) is that if the cop does NOT show up, you have no case and they throw out the ticket. I can only speak for my dad, who has gotten a few tickets and the way he has beaten them is by going to court and the cop never showed so he didn't have to pay. Sweet deal, rarely happens though apparently only to my dad.
This was my plan, the cop I remember was wearing a wedding band, no WAY was he showing up on Valentines day, right?! Wrong, his wife must have pissed him off because he was there with bells and whistles on. Side note: have you ever noticed that the cop looks totally different than when he pulled you over? This guy looked COMPLETELY different when i saw him in court but it was him, unfortunately. I finally had my name called and the judge says, "How do you plead?" I respond confidently, "Not guilty, your honor, that light was yellow." I give him my best smile. He then asks if the policeman is present who gave me the ticket and he was. The cop steps up and says, "your honor, the light was red and the accused went through it and blah blah blah…" and the judge says, " Unfortunately, Miss Berk, the court sides with the Policeman as you have no proof and…." he went on and on and I can't recall what else he said but it was clear that I was going to end up paying the ticket. Bummer.
That was my first experience getting a ticket going through a yellow light. Now I will bring you up to speed to just a few months ago. Supposedly I went through a red light in my hometown of Springfield, NJ in June. It was all caught on tape (boy do I feel like a bad guy!) When i received the ticket in the mail it was September (took them 4 months to process!) I was shocked and appalled! No, actually I was just shocked and very upset that it had all been caught on tape. I immediately looked it up on the internet to make sure it was my car. Of course it was! Actually, it was my husbands car but we both know it was me driving it. He is a goody goody. I paid it without any bitterness, thinking, okay, it was more like a yellowish red but I'll pay it, the fine isn't insane and its not worth the court hassle. That was a few weeks ago. Guess what comes in the mail today? Yet, ANOTHER ticket, same place, different car, MY car. Are you kidding? Is this a joke? I actually did look around when I opened the mail thinking it was in fact a practical joke. I proceeded to look it up on the internet and I did in fact go through a very red light BUT to my defense, I was behind one of those lawns and gardens trucks so i couldn't really see what color the light was. I suppose I should have stopped? Probably. But I didn't. So, this ticket is really the legit ticket. It was SO red and if a cop had been anywhere near that light I would have definately been pulled over but then i could have at least given him my PBA card and skipped the $85!
There you have it, two yellows and a red. Trivia: what does the average person pay in their lifetime for traffic tickets? Who ever answers correct wins a prize.
Moral of the elongated story, STOP at the yellow lights because life is too fast.

High-Performance Mindfulness: Top Five Things Not To Do During A Slump
Jake Rauchbach lists the top five things NOT to do during a shooting slump.
The shooting slump can be an enigma to even the most seasoned player. We are going to break down the top five things NOT to do to when experiencing a shooting slump.
Changing Shot Mechanics
Trying to fix chronic shooting issues by tinkering with mechanics generally creates further issues for the shooter. The reason why? The underlying cause of the slump is not physical. It is rooted on the mind-based level of the player.
In a slump, the root cause of what ails the shooter is not because a shooting elbow is too far out, or because the ball is coming off the wrong finger on the release.
Yes, these are contributing factors. However, when mechanics such as these are tweaked without also addressing the actual deeper cause, players tend to experience further issues.
Einstein said that you cannot fix a problem from the same level of awareness that it was created from. The same can be said about the shooting slump.
Trying to fix physical form is addressing the symptom but not the cause. This is why changing mechanics is almost always ineffectual.
Film Watching
When a player is experiencing a slump, watching film to critique form and analyze shot selection is also not recommended.
When is the last time any good shooter consistently shot the ball well by critically analyzing (thinking about) their shot? Shooting is all about feeling and not thinking. We ask players how does your shot feel, not how does your shot think. In this way, shooting is more of an art than a science.
Film study that has the player break down his/her current form and shot selection can have the effect of activating the analytical thinking mind. This is counterproductive and can block a player's ability to feel better about his/her shot.
Increasing Repetitions
The adage that increasing repetitions is the way to bust a shooting slump is antiquated and generally does not work.
Hard work is only effective when the different parts of the brain are in alignment. When they are not, as in the case of a shooting slump, then the player generally is just spinning his/her wheels.
We have all seen those players that spend hours in the gym and are not able to translate that work into tangible in-game improvement. In a slump, the best thing a player can do — outside of releasing mental clutter— is to go to the movies and get their mind off of the experience. Increasing reps in this instance is generally not beneficial.
Thinking & Analyzing
As mentioned above, slumps are not fixed by using the conscious mind to figure out a solution. If this were effective, players would routinely be able to hypothesize and think themselves out of the downtrend.
It is very common for a player experiencing a slump to analyze his shot attempts. This may throw off his future shooting success. When this happens, often a nasty mental looping effect occurs, which can further perpetuate the slump.
Imagine trying to "think away" a severely sprained ankle? This does not work because the underlying physical trauma of the sprained ankle needs to be addressed before progress can take place. A similar concept can be applied to the shooting slump.
At its core, the shooting slump is a mind-based thing caused by mental clutter. To eradicate the slump, the mental clutter must be cleaned up.
For this reason, increasing repetition, film study and analysis generally do not have a positive effect on solving the slump.
Leaning On Outside Counsel
Players often want to ask others for advice. If the player is self-aware enough to know that the slump is not purely physical, then asking for help on how to counteract the underlying mental clutter can be beneficial.
However, leaning on others' opinions can also further exacerbate the issue. This is especially true when that outside influence suggests tinkering with mechanics and analyzing shot performance.
The risk here is if the initial outside counsel's recommendations do not work, the player may have a hard time hearing, trusting and synthesizing relevant input in the future. Another issue here is, players can begin to lose faith in what they think is the correct way to proceed. This is the worst-case scenario because it can lead to the player feeling lost. This can then produce even more overthinking, or paralysis by analysis.
We still have a lot to learn about shooting slumps. However, considering how players have responded in the past, it is best to focus on the internal dynamics of the player first before addressing the slumping symptoms. This is the fastest way to bust the slump.

NBA Daily: They Guessed Wrong
Matt John reflects on some of the key decisions that were made last summer, and how their disappointing results hurt both team outlooks and players' legacies.
It doesn't sound possible, but did you know that the crazy NBA summer of 2019 was, in fact, over a year ago? Wildly, in any normal, non-pandemic season, it all would have been over three months ago and, usually, media days would be right around the corner, but not this time. The 2019-20 NBA season is slated to end sometime in early to mid-October, so the fact that the last NBA off-season was over a year ago hasn't really dawned on anyone yet. Craziest of all, even though there will still be an offseason, there technically won't be any summer.
Coronavirus has really messed up the NBA's order. Of course, there are much worse horrors that COVID-19 has inflicted upon the world – but because of what it's done to the NBA, let's focus on that and go back to the summer of 2019. It felt like an eternity, but the Golden State Warriors' three-year reign had finally reached its end. The Toronto Raptors' victory over the tyranny that was the Hamptons Five – as battered as they were – made it feel like order had been restored to the NBA. There was more to it than that though.
Klay Thompson's and Kevin Durant's season-ending injuries, along with the latter skipping town to join Kyrie Irving in Brooklyn meant two things.
1. Golden State was down for the count
2. Brooklyn's time wasn't coming until next year.
A one-year window was open. Even if neither Golden State nor Brooklyn posed the same threat that the former did when it had Kevin Durant, those were two contenders out of commission. If there was a time to go all in, it was in 2019.
Milwaukee certainly seemed to go all in. For the most part. Malcolm Brogdon's departure seemed a little odd since he was arguably their best non-Giannis playmaker when they were in crunch time. Not to mention there was nothing really stopping the Bucks from keeping him except for money. Detractors will call out Milwaukee for electing to cheap out by not keeping Brogdon and hence, avoiding the luxury tax. However, there's more to it than that.
Milwaukee thought it had enough with the core it had on its roster. Coming off the best season they had put up since the eighties, they believed the franchise built the right team to contend. There was an argument that keeping Brogdon may have been overkill with their guard depth – let's not forget that Donte DiVincenzo did a solid job in Brogdon's role as the backup facilitator. This would have been more defensible had it not been for Milwaukee picking the wrong guy to let go. That was the indefensible part- electing to keep Eric Bledsoe over Brogdon.
Bledsoe wasn't necessarily a bad investment. No one's complaining about an almost 15 point average on 47/34/79 splits or playing individual defense tight enough to get named on the All-Defensive second team. By all accounts, Bledsoe earns his keep. That is until the playoffs. Bledsoe's postseason woes have been a weight ever since he first entered Milwaukee, and this postseason was more of the same.
Bledsoe's numbers dwindled to just 11.7 points on 39/25/81 splits, and Milwaukee getting ousted in five games at the hands of Miami made his struggles stand out even more than it had ever been. Bledsoe may be the better athlete and the better defender, but Brogdon's all-around offensive savvy and his only slight dropoff defensively from Brogdon would have made him a bit more reliable.
Milwaukee guessed wrong when they opted to extend Bledsoe before the postseason last year when they could have waited until that very time to evaluate who to keep around. Now they face a hell of a lot more questions than they did at the end of last season – questions that may have been avoided had they made the right choice.
Now they could have kept both of them, yes, but it's not totally unreasonable to think that maybe their approach with the luxury tax would have worked and maybe they would still be in the postseason right now had they gone with the homegrown talent. And just maybe, there wouldn't be nearly as much of this Greek Freak uncertainty.
The Houston Rockets can relate. They got bruised up by a team that everyone thought Houston had the edge on going into the series and then crushed by the Lakers. Now, Mike D'Antoni is gone. The full-time small ball experiment likely did not work out. Since the Rockets emptied most of their assets to bring in Russell Westbrook and Robert Covington, there may not be a route in which they can become better than they presently are.
The mistake wasn't trading for Russell Westbrook. The mistake was trading Chris Paul.
To be fair, most everybody severely overestimated Chris Paul's decline. He's not among the best of the best anymore, but he's still pretty darn close. He deserved his All-NBA second team selection as well as finishing No. 7 overall in MVP voting. OKC had no business being as good as they were this season, and Paul was the driving force as to why.
For all we know, the previously-assumed tension between Chris Paul and James Harden would have made its way onto the court no matter what. Even so, Houston's biggest obstacle in the Bay Area had crumbled. If they had just stayed the course, maybe they're still in the postseason too.
To their credit, none of this may have happened had it not been for the Kawhi Leonard decision. Had he chosen differently, the Thunder never blow it up, and Houston might have very well been the favorite in the Western Conference. Instead, the Rockets took a step back from being in the title discussion to dark horse. But at least they can take pride knowing that they weren't expected to win it all – the Clippers can't.
Seeing the Clippers fall well short expectations begs the question if they too got it wrong. The answer is, naturally: of course not. They may have paid a hefty price for Paul George, but the only way they were getting Kawhi Leonard – one of the best players of his generation – was if PG-13 came in the package. As lofty as it was, anyone would have done the same thing if they were in their shoes. They didn't get it wrong. Kawhi did.
On paper, the Clippers had the most talented roster in the entire league. It seemed like they had every hole filled imaginable. Surrounding Leonard and George was three-point shooting, versatility, a productive second unit, an experienced coach – you name it. There was nothing stopping them from breaking the franchise's long-lasting curse. Except themselves.
Something felt off about them. They alienated opponents. They alienated each other. At times, they played rather lackadaisically, like the title had already been signed, sealed, and delivered to them. The media all assumed they'd cut the malarkey and get their act together – but that moment never really came. They had their chances to put Denver away, but even if they had, after seeing their struggles to beat them – and to be fair Dallas too – would their day of destiny with the Lakers have really lived up to the hype?
Even if it was never in the cards, one can't help but wonder what could have happened had Kawhi chosen to stay with the team he won his second title with.
Toronto was the most impressive team in this league this season. They still managed to stay at the top of the east in spite of losing an all-timer like Leonard. That team had every component of a winner except a superstar. They had the right culture for a championship team. Just not the right talent. The Clippers were the exact opposite. They had the right talent for a championship team but not the right culture. That's why the Raptors walked away from the postseason feeling proud of themselves for playing to their full potential while the Clippers writhed in disappointment and angst over their future.
In the end, everyone mentioned here may ultimately blame what happened to their season on the extenuating circumstances from the pandemic. The Bucks' chemistry never fully returned when the Bubble started. Contracting COVID and dealing with quad problems prevented Westbrook from reviving the MVP-type player he was before the hiatus. As troubling as the Clippers had played, the extra time they would have had to work things out in a normal season was taken away from them.
For all we know, next year will be a completely different story. The Rockets, Bucks, and Kawhi may ultimately have their faith rewarded for what they did in the summer of 2019 – but that will only be mere speculation until the trio can change the story.
Looking Toward The Draft: Power Forwards
Basketball Insiders continues their NBA Draft watch, this time with the power forwards.
We got some updated NBA draft news this week when the league announced that several key dates have been pushed back including the draft, the start of free agency and the beginning of the 2020-21 season.
The 2020 draft was originally scheduled for Oct. 16, but it will now likely occur sometime in November. Obviously, with the COVID-19 pandemic still wildly out of control in the United States, all of these potential deadlines are fluid and subject to change.
With that said, we're continuing our position by position breakdown here at Basketball Insiders of some of the top 2020 draft prospects. We looked at the point guards and shooting guards last week, and this week we're covering the small forwards and power forwards.
The power forward crop, like the draft overall, doesn't appear to be as strong as recent years, that doesn't mean there aren't potential contributors and high-level NBA players available, as well as one who might just turn out to be a star-caliber player.
Onyeka Okongwu, USC – 19 years old
Okongwu is the player who just might develop into a star on some level. He was actually underrated in high school and was snubbed for a McDonald's All-American selection his senior year. He established himself early on at USC as the team's best player as a freshman and now appears to have turned some heads.
He's been mentioned as a lottery pick and in some mock drafts, he's top 4-5. He possesses a great all-around skill-set; he can score in the post, he can put the ball on the floor and attack and he can shoot. But perhaps his biggest attribute is his versatility on the defensive end. He's got quick feet and mobility and can guard multiple positions.
Okongwu might actually play center in the NBA, especially in small-ball lineups, but he's mostly played power forward and so he'll probably see time there in the league. His skill-set fits perfectly with today's game.
Obi Toppin, Dayton – 22 years old
Toppin is one of the older players in the draft, and in recent history, players that age tend to slip on draft boards. In Toppin's case, it looks like the reverse might actually be true. He's been projected as a lottery pick, and even going in the top 3.
He's an incredibly athletic player who thrives in the open court. He looks like he'll do well in an up-tempo offensive system that has capable playmakers who can find him in transition. He's extremely active around the rim and he can finish strong. A decent shooter too, something he'll need at the next level.
Toppin has the physical tools to be an effective defensive player, but that's where the questions marks on him have been. In the NBA, he's likely going to have to play and guard multiple positions. Whether or not he can adapt to that likely will answer the question as to what his ceiling can be.
Precious Achiuwa, Memphis – 20 years old
Achiuwa is another intriguing prospect. this writer actually got to watch him play in person while he was in high school and he was very impressive. He looked like a man among boys. He's projected to be a late lottery pick.
He has an NBA-ready body and he's got some toughness around the rim and in the paint. He was a double-double threat during his one season at Memphis and his knack for rebounding is something that should translate to the NBA. He's a very good defender too, in particular, as a rim protector. He's very quick and has the ability to guard multiple positions.
One of the main knocks on Achiuwa is his shooting ability. He didn't shoot that well in college and power forwards being able to space the floor is almost a requirement in today's NBA game. It's something he can certainly work on and improve on though.
Honorable Mentions:
Paul Reed, DePaul – 21 years old
Xavier Tillman, Michigan State – 21 years old
Killian Tillie, Gonzaga – 22 years old
Looking Toward the Draft: Small Forwards
Basketball Insiders' examination of the 2020 draft class continues with a look at the small forwards.
It was announced on Wednesday that the NBA Draft would be delayed from Oct. 16 to Nov. 18. The rationale is that the extra month gives the league and its players association more time to negotiate changes to the CBA. It also grants teams additional time to procure information on prospects and allows the NBA to establish regional virtual combines. But nothing is set in stone.
Still, draft prep must continue. This year's draft class has more question marks than usual – which was complicated by the cancellation of the NCAA tournament (along with the NIT and a number of conference tournaments). There are incredibly skilled offensive players with limited offensive upside and jaw-droppingly talented defenders with incomplete offensive packages. But if (recent) history serves as a guide, there will be a few guys who make an immediate impact – and some of them very well could be small forwards.
The small forward position is key for the modern NBA. Want proof? Survey the league and you'll find that most – if not all – contenders have an elite small forward – Milwaukee, Los Angeles (both), Boston, Miami, Toronto.
But the list of can't miss small forward prospects feels smaller than usual. Scanning the numerous legitimate mock drafts (including our own by Steve Kyler), it becomes apparent that we lack a consensus on which small forwards will be selected (and in what order) after the top 3 or 4. Can any of them grow into a star? Maybe. Maybe not. But before we get too far ahead of ourselves, let's identify what the top few bring to the table.
Deni Avdija, Israel – 19 years old
Avdija is a relatively well-rounded prospect who's played professionally since he was 16. He boasts good height (6-foot-9) and uses it effectively to shoot over and pass around opposing defenses. Further, Avdija is an exceptional playmaker and he's incredibly confident, enabling him to take chances many players would be apprehensive trying. Avdija is a high-IQ player. And what's more, he's a surprisingly strong defender. His height and above-average athleticism allow him to block shots, and he's more physical than you'd expect him to be.
But there are drawbacks to Avdija, too. His main issue is around shooting. Avdija shot only 28% in the EuroLeague last season, and he shot only 60% from the free-throw line. Further, while he's a decent athlete, he'll struggle to secure a role in the NBA. He's going to need to add speed to stay with modern wings, and he'll also have to bulk up to bang with power forwards.
Still, Avdija's upside is alluring. He's only 19, and his smarts, confidence and grittiness should provide him cover for much of his rookie season. Avdija should be the first small forward off of the board.
Isaac Okoro, Auburn – 19 years old
Avdija might be the flashier name currently, but Okoro will give him a run for his money in terms of which small forward is first off the board. Okoro is built like a traditional NBA wing; he's 6-foot-6 with good strength packed in his muscular frame (215 lbs). Okoro finishes well around the rim and he converts well through contact. He's an exceptional athlete who excels catching the ball on the move. Like Avdija, Okoro has the poise and composure of a more experienced player. Also, like Avdija, Okoro looked the part of a high IQ player in his lone season at Auburn.
And while all that is great, the main allure of Okoro is his defense. He's a fairly advanced defender given his age, and his athleticism and timing make him an effective weak side help defender.
While Okoro's raw abilities are exquisite, his refined offensive skills leave something to be desired. Okoro shot 28 percent on three-point field goals and he struggled from the free-throw line (67.2 percent). His mid-range jump shot also needs work, and he struggles in isolation situations.
If Okoro can hone his offensive game, he could grow into an All-Star. He has the ability to guard multiple positions, and his strength and athleticism give him a leg up on most prospects. But even if he doesn't become an All-Star, he possesses a fairly high floor given his defensive abilities — and the guy definitely fills the state sheet (12.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, .9 steals and .9 blocks). He has lockdown defender potential and he'll put his stamp on the game beginning on night one.
Devin Vassell, Florida State – 20 years old
Vassell played two seasons at Florida State, but he came into his own in his Sophomore season. He averaged 12.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks per game. He shot a more than respectable 41.5% on three-point attempts, and he demonstrated a strong stroke from the free-throw line (73.8 percent) and on two-point field goal attempts (53.2).
Vassell is an extremely athletic leaper, who can rise up for a highlight dunk and sprint down the floor with ease. He has good body control and demonstrated a strong mid-range game, especially his step-back jump shot. But Vassell must generate more free throws through decisive moves to the hoop, which would be bolstered by a more muscular frame. Additionally, he must improve his ball-handling to get more from isolations.
Vassell will have an adjustment period in terms of scoring the ball at the next level. Fortunately, his defense and shooting should get him by. If he can bulk up and improve his handling, Vassell could grow into a serious player.
Aaron Nesmith, Vanderbilt – 20 years old
Nesmith probably has a lower floor than any of the other top small forward prospects given that he'll be 21 by the draft. Still, he looked quite good in his Junior year, averaging 23 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game on a scorching 52.2 percent shooting from deep. Nesmith is an incredibly gifted shooter who has impressive range. His ability to catch-and-shoot and create space with fakes makes him a promising prospect – for the right team.
Nesmith is a high IQ player who uses his smarts on the defensive end. He's also quite strong, can get buckets in the open floor and demonstrates above average ball-handling skills, as long as he's not taking the ball to the hoop.
But there are inherent limitations in Nesmith's game. He's doesn't create for his teammates too effectively and he turns the ball over more frequently than one would like with. Further, Nesmith is plagued by robotic movements that limit his athleticism. His ball-handling breaks down when taking the ball to the rack – something he'll certainly have to work on in the NBA if he wants to be a versatile scoring threat against the bigger and stronger competition.
Still, Nesmith's positives give him an excellent chance at being selected in the first round. His range alone will intrigue teams in need of a shooter.
Honorable Mentions:
Saddiq Bey, Villanova – 21 years old
Jaden McDaniels, Washington – 19 years old
Robert Woodard II, Mississippi State – 20 years old
With the uncertainty around small forward prospects, expect to see a revolving door of names enter the discussion after the first four wing prospects are off the board prior to Nov. 16 – assuming the draft is held then. But regardless of how you have them ranked, all of the aforementioned prospects have question marks. But all have had far more time to improve than they would have in years' past. Let's hope that shows come next season.

Searching for software is like trying to order a meal at the Cheesecake factory. There are approximately 942 pages in the menu and information overload kicks in. Then, with your anxiety on full blast as the waiter arrives, you order a "slice" of cheesecake instead and end up with a stomach ache because that was a lot of cake (way too specific for me to have not experienced that first hand).
Technology makes anything possible these days but how do you know where to start? Not only can searching for the right tools end up being a big fat time thief, the actual learning curve to them can add up, too.
We've put together a list of our top 10 business essentials that met our rigorous standards:
1. User Friendly - We need to be up and running within 15 minutes;
2. Freemium - As we grow, we need our software to also;
3. Collaborative - You have to be able to have the whole team on board; and
4. Integrative - All hail automation.
1. Trello - we use this for project management, client management, brain dumps, etc. You name it, we have a board for it.
Here's an example of a client profile we board. We have a list of all the details of our clients: name, business(es), dates to remember such as anniversaries, photos, methods of payments, links to relevant websites, etc. we also have a communication card. We keep track of specifics in phone calls, emails, etc. that we can refer to next time we speak. And then we also have project management for each client as well.
2. Streak CRM - This is a gmail extension that is a lifesaver for businesses that rely heavily on email as client communication.
You can customize the pipelines you need but the defaults work well, too. At its core, it organizes and batches client communication through the entire lifetime of your relationship with them. A quick Youtube tutorial search will give you some fast setup walk through.
3. Acuity Scheduling - Say goodbye to wasteful back and forth emails trying to schedule a meeting.
With a customized scheduling link for all the different types of appointments you might offer, the ability to send an intake questionnaire, calendar integrations, and much more this our go-to platform. The paid version offers tons of features that are absolutely worth the price tag like accepting payments and integrations with Quickbooks.
4. The Skimm - Hands down, the best way to get your daily dose of current events - straight to your inbox.
With quick wit and clever puns, the team over at Skimm HQ makes it easy breezy to read up on what's happening in our world, good or bad.

Software that communicates together stays together! Automating repetitive admin tasks can change the game. You tell this app to create a trello board when you add a new client to Quickbooks or saving gmail attachments to dropbox (such as client contracts or important documents that won't get forgetten). Zapier will make you happier with more additions all the time, your options are endless.
6. Rescue Time - Forced to face the reality of what you are actually doing with your computer time.
Tattle-tale on yourself! Time is money and when you can actually see where you are really spending it, it can change everything. This is a tool we use religiously with our clients to get an honest view of where the fat can be trimmed to put value on productivity and growth instead of social media stalking.
7. Last Pass - One less thing to remember and 1,541 less post-it notes with random passwords on it.
Security is the best part of this. Secure your credit card information, and store all the passwords and login information you need for running your empire in one place.
8. Dropbox - The essential you probably know about but needs an obligatory mention.
Store all your documents to access anywhere, easily share documents with clients, and keep all your receipts in a digital file. It's a no-brainer!
These are just the foundation builders we love in business. What other apps or software do you swear by? We'd love to hear from you!

Director of Education TLDSB
As we begin the new year and find ourselves in times of uncertainty, we are often faced with questions about how our decisions are made. Our school communities expect transparency, and while we can't be all things to all people or give everyone what they want, we do our best to provide clear answers to questions that come our way. Additionally, when we make decisions – financial, program, or otherwise – we always do our best to keep the classroom experience and programming at the heart of those decisions. Sometimes, however, it is difficult to provide every detail and cover every nuance in our explanations.
We all know about the challenges in our schools and communities these days as a result of protracted and ongoing negotiations between the province and unions. The impact of this conflict in our schools cannot be denied. It is simply not business as usual, with many activities and events being curtailed or cancelled. This is true in both elementary and secondary schools alike at this time. We are seeing everything from report cards being interrupted, to lunch programs and field trips being cancelled, and of course, a significant impact on extra-curricular activities of all types being affected. Again, these things are not exclusive to elementary or secondary schools. Rather the negative impact of strike activity is being felt across all grades and in different ways. We also recognize and acknowledge the hardship on our students and families when we have to close schools on days when there is a full withdrawal of services.
In Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB), senior administration has taken the step of requesting that all secondary extra-curricular activities be scheduled outside of the instructional day. We have been informed by one sports association that secondary extra-curricular sporting events may not be rescheduled. We know this is unpopular, as it has resulted in teachers not being released from their teaching duties to participate with students in league play or tournament events during the instructional day. We did not take this decision lightly and are aware that this is not an ideal situation. It is important to note, however, that our decision was made with the goal of protecting classroom programming to the fullest extent possible. For us, this means we want to make use of the limited number of secondary supply teachers to support classroom programming first and foremost.
We have been asked why we need supply teachers when this was not a problem a month or two ago. The simple answer is, that up until recently, secondary teachers would cover classes as part of their collective agreement responsibilities. These "on calls" allow schools generally, though not always, to have enough staff to cover absent teachers, for whatever reason, including participation in field trips and sporting events in addition to other reasons that may cause someone to be absent from work. Recently, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF) has indicated that "on calls" for teachers will be struck work as part of job sanctions, and that teachers will no longer cover classes for absent colleagues. This is an unfortunate turn of events, and unacceptable to TLDSB administration, given the status of "on calls" in our local collective agreement. The impact of this is that all secondary teacher absences must be covered by occasional (supply) teachers or by school administration in the event there are not enough occasional teachers available.
We have also been asked why we don't have enough occasional teachers to cover our classes. There isn't a simple answer to this, and there are many variables that impact our ability to cover classes with occasional teachers. For example, we cannot predict how many teachers might be away on any given day. Illness, personal leave, bereavement, and other factors play a role in all our lives, and teachers are no different. For TLDSB, the ongoing challenge is being able to cover classes when these things occur. By reducing or eliminating the known absenteeism of our staff, we feel we are in a much better position to adequately maintain classroom programming.
It is important to note that our collective agreement with OSSTF speaks to only allowing a certain number of occasional teachers to be included on the roster for the system. Our agreement includes counting long term occasional and part time permanent teachers, as part of this roster. This has been highly problematic for TLDSB for many years, and there are many examples of not having enough "available" occasional teachers on any given day over the years. Availability can be impacted by many factors, including having people on multiple school board lists, such as neighbouring school boards, people on our lists who have competing interests for their time, such as extended periods of time away from the board, or people accepting work in other schools or boards. Inclusion of part time permanent teachers and all long term occasional teachers, as part of our overall allowable number in our collective agreement also limits the number of available occasional teachers we may have on any given day. We have been asked why we don't simply hire more occasional teachers. The answer is quite simple in that we take honouring collective agreements with our union partners very seriously.
When these factors combine, it does create a significant concern for us in terms of covering classroom programming. We have heard from many passionate individuals who care deeply about the extra-curricular programs in our schools. We have also heard from those who have passionately appealed to us to ensure their students continue to receive the excellent classroom programming they have been accustomed to in our schools. Managing everyone's expectations is often difficult, and not something we take lightly. It is our hope that the parties involved in the current labour disputes can find the way forward and reach a reasonable resolution. Our students deserve to be in classrooms. They deserve a well-rounded school experience and a quality extra-curricular program.

On Tuesday, April 30 the NC boys and girls track & field teams hosted their final home meet of the season. The Trojans hosted former NCC foe Anderson and current HHC foe Pendleton Heights. It was a great evening for competition as the skies were clear and temperatures were in the mid to upper 60s with the only drawback being a fairly strong wind out of the west. Both teams continued to improve and posted several season best and lifetime best performances.
In the boys competition the Trojans finished third with 39 points. Pendleton won with 83 points followed by Anderson with 44 points.
The Trojans opened the meet with a strong win in the 3200 meter relay. Senior Jaycee Wilburn lead-off and established a commanding lead with an 800 split of 2:05.60. Wilburn handed-off to senior Ben Brock who lengthened the lead by posting an 800 split of 2:10.16 which equaled his previous personal best. Freshman Skyler Dickey was up next and kept NC with a solid lead going into the final hand-off to senior Britton Adkins. The NC winning time of 9:00.53 was 12 seconds ahead of the next competitor.
Up next was NC's lone hurdler, freshman Kyle Gabbard, continuing to improve and score points for the team. Gabbard placed third in both the 110 and 300 meter hurdles with times of 18.52 and 46.90 respectively. Gabbard also performed his normal duties as the second leg of the NC 4 x 100 relay squad. The Trojan 400 meter duo of Adkins and sophomore Jace Logston continued to show their strength in the event. Adkins and Logstion placed first and third in the event with times of 52.94 and 54.72 respectively.
In the sprints, senior Trevor Morrison, came out of the blocks hard from the start and for the second meet in a row won the 200 meter dash by nipping an Anderson competitor at the line. Morrison's time in the 200 was 23.31. Also in the 200 meter dash, sophomore Dominique Strunk posted a personal best performance.
In the middle distance events, junior Austin Morgan had a strong race battling toward the front in the 1600 meter run. Morgan placed third in the event with his second best time of the season by clipping the tape in 4:53.10. Morgan followed later in the meet with a personal best in the 800 meter run with a time of 2:16.53. In the 800 meter run, Jaycee Wilburn took the lead from the start as he has done for the past several meets. Wilburn crossed the line in 2:03.86 for the win. Ben Brock, who normally runs the 1600, switched it up by running the 800 and continued to prove that he has the speed and versatility to race anything from the 400 to the 1600. Brock's time of 2:08.07 was a personal best for the 800 and good for third place. Also posting a personal best in the 800 meter run was freshman Caleb Grow in 2:11.41. Wilburn and Brock returned later in the meet, along with Morrison and Adkins to form the NC squad in the 4 x 400 relay. Also in the distance events, freshman Skyler Dickey placed third in the 3200 meter run with a time of 11:04.00.
In the jumps, Carter Dickerson placed fourth in the high jump with a height of 5 feet 2 inches and Layne Nicholson placed fourth in the long jump with a distance of 15 feet 8 inches. NC had a good meet in the throws. Sophomore Matt Bell and freshman Cole Werking threw personal bests in the discus. Bell's toss of 122 feet 10 inches was good for third place. Teammate Nate Smith followed in fourth place with a toss of 116 feet 3 inches. Nate Smith also placed third in the shot put with a distance of 41 feet 7.5 inches.
The Trojans compete again next on Thursday, May 9 in the Hoosier Heritage Conference meet held at Mt. Vernon High School. The meet starts at 5:30pm.
