Kirpan Accommodation at Canadian NHL Arenas
By A Correspondent
The World Sikh Organization of Canada has worked with NHL hockey arenas across Canada to implement kirpan accommodation procedures for Sikh guests.
Beginning in the 2015-16 NHL season, arenas were instructed to introduce airport-style security screening of guests, including walk-through metal detectors. The WSO began working with arenas across Canada on creating a suitable accommodation for Sikh guests that would balance security with freedom of religion and the Sikhs' obligation to wear the kirpan.

India Pulls Ahead
By Peter G. Hall
Vice-President and Chief Economist Export Development Canada
How the mighty have fallen. David's lament for Saul and Jonathan is apt for the feted BRICS economies. Powerhouses of the last, long growth cycle, and resilient in the post- recession period, the BRICS have one by one lost their edge. Russia is sanctions-smothered. Brazil is infrastructure-incapacitated, among other issues. It's all about commodities in South Africa. China is battling bubbles inflated by aggressive stimulus. And then there's India. Sure, growth slowed here as it did everywhere else. But among these peers it finds itself alone, with growth reestablished and clearly ahead of the pack. What's going on?
Manufacturing Emotive Issues
Bharat Mata Ki Jai and hurling 'Anti Nationalism' for Dissent
By Ram Puniyani *
The national scene is being dominated by the current 'you must chant Barat Mata ki jai' to prove your nationalism. This was preceded by the 'Anti national' abuse being hurled on all those showing dissent with the present regime. These two major issues have been propped up in the recent times and these are trying to undermine the core issue of the state's onslaught on University autonomy. They air aimed to undermine the issues where the state is trying to displace the democratic ethos and from failure to keep the pre-election promises. This is an attempt to prop up a new emotive issue to add to the array of emotive issues already manufactured by the communal forces.

Building the future. Restoring the past.
It is easy to take fire hydrants for granted. We barely notice them on the street until there is an emergency. They are expected to work properly to dispense enough water to put out a fire, despite years of neglect. To avoid a malfunction, it is important to conduct a fire hydrant flow test to ensure this man-made device is fully functional at the right time. Additionally, annual maintenance and inspections will identify key problems before a catastrophic failure.
Particles from dirt, gravel and other foreign materials can interrupt the ease of operation for hydrants. Infrequent repairs exacerbate problems and also threaten functionality. Not only can this create problems with the hydrant, but it also leads to poor conditions with the water system. The main valve can become damaged, which prevents it from draining or closing properly.
Condition assessments allow you to get in front of …

We were completely satisfied with this product until we changed to a new system which integrated this with several other features we were using. It's easy to use, has visually appealing templates and we liked that it could integrate to social media.

I found Zoho campaigns was very convenient to use since we use Zoho already for CRM. Convenient but does lack some of the features provided by other email campaign management softwares like Mailchimp. Decent for our current list of clients but not to get new ones.
Limited features but get's the job done. Doesn't have a lot of design capability.
Good for current clients in list but not the best for really nice email designs.

It was easy to setup and start using, and you can use their templates and layouts to quickly create your campaigns. But the send rate was super slow and it took almost 8 hours to send one email to our entire list, which Mailchimp can do in minutes. We had to switch back to Mailchimp to be more effective.
We use several Zoho apps (like Mail, Forms, CRM, etc) and I liked that Zoho Campaigns could tie in with everything. It was pretty easy to setup our account, add in our email lists and start creating a new campaign. If you have a small email list I would whole-heartedly endorse Zoho Campaigns.
We have a large email list and it took almost *a full day* to send out our email campaign. Having been used to Mailchimp, I was shocked. Mailchimp can send thousands of emails in minutes. Zoho Campaigns trickled out. Which was frustrating because our email list consists of schools and corporations, and we aim to send them at specific times. Because Zoho Campaigns took so long, the emails were going out in the evening and overnight which ruined our open rates.

I love being able to include and modify different themes, the app allows changes to customize themes and create your own themes.
The bad thing is that it is still considered by many servers as spam, which means that those who subscribe to my mail do not receive or delay in seeing my emails because they fall into spam

zoho crm integration
Sync's with Zoho CRM really well allowing you to see who clicked and call as a result. The sync is not just for adding/removing subscribers but you can also notify your sales reps automatically when someone clicks and the clicks contribute to the lead score.
The UI. After using MailChimp which is probably the best UI, zoho campaigns is not good. Also the email composer/editor feels limited. Also, there's extra steps to avoid being marked as spam. Also, "Automation" a contact/lead clicks don't update the SalesSignals in zoho crm nor the lead score.

It is very easy to use, create elegant emails, customize lists, can be informative for CRM users and allows you to share your campaigns on social networks.

ZoHo built a decent system for sending mail, but I wanted to have some really professional templates to send to my contacts and the selection was lacking. There are other services out there, like MailChimp, which have very professional email templates and are free (in exchange for having their logo in the footer) .

I've had Zoho for years but never used any other the other tools except the CRM and Zoho Social. While looking for a free email marketing software I remembered Zoho and decided to check if they supported email marketing.
Zoho campaign dashboard and UI is a bit complicated compared to other Softwares, however, once I got over the unfamiliar dashboard design, it was easy to navigate around.
Rather than creating an email campaign, I created a social campaign. Which was easy and straightforward. I linked my Zoho campaign to twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook. The social campaign feature doesn't seem special at first glance but it is.
One feature which stood out was that under Social campaign, you can create a post campaign or a page campaign. I still don't understand the difference between a post campaign and creating/scheduling posts normally on Zoho Social but what impressed me was the page campaign feature.
A page campaign is a sort of email campaign added as a tab on your facebook page called "My Social Promotion" Most of the templates were unattractive but I preferred building my own template or using their blank/basic template and customizing it to my taste.
While I'm not awed by the email campaign function as it functions almost the same as Benchmark email, I am very impressed with the social campaign.
Unlike most email marketing software Zoho paid plan is cheap. Even better, Zoho campaign provides value for your money through the social campaign feature. Its' slike a 2-for 1 deal.
Easy to use... Once you get used to the UI
Some of the campaign templates are rather unattractive, However, they make up for this by providing basic /blank templates for users to customize.

We started using Zoho CRM and needed an email newsletter (listserv) software to go along with it. Zoho Campaigns integrates with Zoho CRM, so we can sync between the two. We use Zoho Campaigns to send emails to a specific group of contacts - for example: if we want to send a Thanksgiving newsletter to all of our clients.
Templates are easy-to-use, or you can create your email from scratch.
Like Zoho CRM, there is a learning curve, but it's worth taking the time to learn how to use it.
The fact that this syncs & integrates seamlessly with Zoho CRM makes it a must for Zoho CRM users.
It takes a little while to figure out the ins and outs and understand how and when it syncs, but it's worth it!

I've used Zoho Campaigns for years. The functionality is solid and the value is unsurpassed. To my knowledge, they are the only company with a free platform that allows you to become accustomed to nearly full functionality and grow into a paid program. I've found their paid programs are significantly less than the large competitors. Excellent product that's worth a try!
It's economical, easy to use.
Lack of templates to choose from.

Zoho Campaigns offers a decent mail system for free. We don't have a huge subscriber database so the free version does what we need. It's not super easy to use at first, but once getting used to its perfectly fine.
Price (free version) and the pricing after free is reasonable too.
A bit tricky at first getting used too, could be simpler.

I first used Zoho Campaigns for personal use. Then used it in a professional way. In both cases, it solves the needs I had: sending mass emails and having the insights on how well they were received.
Zoho Campaigns has two sides: the easy-to-use email marketing tool which allows you to create a campaign of mass email in 5 minutes, and the complete email marketing solution, which allows you to create automatons in order to send emails at scheduled dates, or depending on actions the receiver do.
In both cases, you have a complete report page where you can see by whom, when, where your emails were opened, and moreover what where the behavior of each receiver.
If you synch it with Zoho CRM, you have very powerful sales and marketing tool.
Easy-to-use and powerful, free version for small businesses or if you want to try it before purchasing. As well, automation and link to social media.
Some pre-established templates aren't very pretty (but you can, of course, create your own templates)
Try it!

Zoho's Campaign gives us the option to review our contacts campaign behavior Links Opened/Clicks directly sync to in our Zoho CRM, which we did not have with MailChimp. We liked the simplicity of two way integration without engaging with other companies, so that was what made it for us to move away from other platforms.
Value, ease of use and reliability
Selection of templates.
Try it out and see if it's appropriate for your team. Support has been great and it took a little longer for us to setup than expected, but now we have a nice setup that's integrated with our ZohoCRM database.

We are a tech publisher sending around 50,000 eNewsletters per week. On the face of it Zoho Campaigns seems well laid out and particularly attractive when you read that it is integrated with Zoho CRM - which was one reason we went with it. It also provides good reporting of meta data - another major reason we chose to use it.
And then you start to get into the nitty gritty. First impressions are pretty good. But when you dig deeper and you find that screens and integrations have been designed that don't actually work, the integration with Zoho CRM doesn't work, subscriber management forms lack flexibility, data handling is dreadful, fields are duplicated, forms lack flexibility. So you jump onto forums and start digging around and find there are significant defects and obvious bugs that have been hanging around for years. Here's just one simple example - we uploaded employee numbers - now when users use the standard form, the dropdown (configured with 5 options) now has every single value that was loaded as a dropdown option. In the end you lose confidence that the guys that support the product have any idea what they are doing, and certainly Zoho is not investing in fixing it.
I am also increasingly concerned that the reputation of the sending servers is poor and costing us in high bounce rates due to security policies. We have managed to work around the frustrations and get a working model in place, but email reputation is a black box and I lack any confidence that these guys are managing it well.
My advice - look at other options.
Do not take it at face value.
Many bugs that are not getting fixed. Reasonably well designed software but very badly implemented and obviously lacking any robust test/fix cycles.

it offers 2 main advantages: simplicity and out of the box integration with Zoho CRM. The free plan is great to get started but you will have to pay as soon as you reach more than 500 subscribers to your mailing list.

Add another reclamation project to Jim Washburn's pile -- provided the Eagles don't choose to match the one-year, $1 million contract Jason Babin has agreed to with Tennessee, according to Adam Schefter.
BabinWashburn, the Titans' defensive line coach, has had his share of high draft picks – Jevon Kearse, Albert Haynesworth, Travis LaBoy, Antwan Odom, Randy Starks, Jason Jones and Sen'Derrick Marks -- to work with.
But he's also been given a share of scrap heap guys.
And before people like me jump to say we don't expect much from Babin, who busted big time as a first-round pick for the Houston Texans in 2004, we'd be wise to review some of those names, too.
Kyle Vanden Bosch and Tony Brown turned into defensive stalwarts and Dave Ball was tendered at a second-round level with a one-year $1.8 million price tag.
So Babin is an extreme case of wait-and-see.
Perhaps he eases the pressure on the team to find a pass-rusher in the first three rounds of the draft. I would think it'd be awfully hard for them to make that assessment before the draft, though, and he won't change their plans.
If he blossoms under his new position coach, the Titans will take the depth and experience.
Here's the bonus review from Matt Williamson of Scouts Inc., who returns e-mails with lightning speed.
DE/OLB tweener who has never really found a home or position that best suits him. Had a tremendous Combine when coming out for the draft and I think that has clouded some people into thinking he is a great athlete who can really play coverage (in a 3-4 for example). But that hasn't been the case and he is more or less just an upfield 9 Technique...which is like [Dwight] Freeney or [Robert] Mathis (lining up real wide). He does have speed, but hasn't developed a real repertoire of pass rush moves and when run at, is a liability. Obviously DE is a need area for the Titans, so adding him to the mix isn't such a bad thing, but he isn't an everydown guy and in the end, you would hope that you can do better for a pure specialty pass rusher.

Reginald Wellington is a recurring character in the Bread's Crumbs Cinematic Universe, serving as a protagonist and a member of The Clan. Reginald made his debut as a supporting character in Bread's Crumbs 2: Electric Boogaloo, and he later had a larger role as an ally-turned-adversary in Bread's Crumbs 3: Scrub Slam, as he teamed up with the deranged John Bacchus. Reginald is set to return in the upcoming fourth film, once more serving as a supporting protagonist. He is portrayed by Ross Lovell.
At some point following the events of the first film, Reginald became a member of The Clan. Like the other members of The Clan, he dedicated his life to safeguarding ancient artifacts, most notably The Crumbs.
Bread's Crumbs 2: Electric BoogalooEdit
Reginald was summoned to meet with Glen Tennis alongside John Bacchus, Flynt Coal, and others. During the meeting, Glen Tennis discussed what happened with The Crumbs during the events of the first film. Glen realized that a fake version of the artifact was placed in the Tomb of the Bacchus, and Bread Nelson used it against The Clan. Glen states that the real artifact is hidden in Mekron Woods. Shortly after, Biscuit Savage arrives and attacks The Clan, with Reginald fighting against the brute. Savage eventually retreats, and The Clan goes to Mekron Woods to find The Crumbs. Though Flynt does so, Nazi Mitch steals the artifact, and tricks Biscuit Savage into accepting a fake version of the artifact.
Reginald is not present during the final battle against Biscuit Savage, although he does meet with Flynt, Bacchus, Vin, Big Beard and Mahatma following the conflict. Bacchus sets off alone on a journey to find The Crumbs. Reginald then witnesses Jumpa return to The Clan, confused over what has transpired.
Bread's Crumbs 3: Scrub SlamEdit
Bacchus became obsessed with finding The Crumbs and claiming its power. After unexpectedly returning, Bacchus has Flynt convince several members of The Clan to drop from the group and join Bacchus' brotherhood. At some point offscreen, Reginald joins Bacchus, yearning to claim The Crumbs' power.
After Rasputin attacks Flynt, Bacchus, Vin and Kick with a bass speaker, Reginald arrives to help Flynt take The Crumbs from Rasputin. The two head downtown, where they confront Kick and attack him. Reginald helps to defeat Kick, but Rasputin intervenes and intervenes the trio with his bass speaker. Reginald and Flynt are still writhing on the ground in pain as Kick and Rasputin escape. Shortly after, Reginald and Flynt rendezvous with Bacchus at the tennis court, where they confront Bacchus. Though The Clan manages to claim The Crumbs, Reginald remains loyal to Bacchus' cause, but not for much longer. Bacchus leads Reginald, Big Beard and Bjorn Alvarez to Kerr Park, where they confront Kick and Vin. When Rasputin arrives with Flynt, who is possessed by a parasitic alien known as Tea-Eee, Reginald is terrified and flees from the scene. By this point, he no longer believes in Bacchus' false leadership.
Reginald does not appear again until after the Blitzkrieg battle with Nazi Mitch. Along with Flynt, Bacchus, Vin and Rasputin, Reginald returns to the tennis court, where they find that The Crumbs is empty and devoid of power. Flynt remarks that the artifact's energy is no longer contained, and surrounds them at this point.

Washing A Lot of Wool at Home!
I have been really busy the last week and a half working on getting all the fleeces washed up and cleaned. I'm sitting here with the last one in the presoak, and one in the washing machine.
This is the presoak. The water is 180 degrees F. And I've added a mild soap.
After the presoak, I dump the fleece onto this screen which allows the water to rinse out but catches the wool and keeps it off the ground. If the wool is really dirty, I may do another rinse in this tub.
You can see how dirty the water is from the presoak.
This is a lamb's fleece that is waiting to be rinsed.
I have an old top loading washing machine that I use to soak and rinse the wool in. The main advantage is that I can turn it to the spin cycle and it gets a lot of the water out of the fleece. That's really the only part of the washer that I use.
I fill the washing machine with equally hot water before adding the fleece. It's very important to add in the wool after the tub is already filled, otherwise the high temperature and the agitation from the water could felt it. This hose is heavy duty so it can withstand the hot temps.
We use our wood boiler to get the water hot. My husband made this one and it heats our water and the house in the winter, saving us on propane. The only time in the summer we use it is for washing my wool.
The thermometer is reading 183 degrees F, so it works really well for this purpose.
We hook the hose up to the back of the stove and I turn it on to fill the washing machine and the presoak tub.
I have a special bag that I put the fleece in, it has two openings on each end of the bag with drawstrings. The bottom fits into the top loader and gets cinched up tight so the wool doesn't come out of the bag.
I fill the bag full of wool and then cinch up the top as well. It really helps keep the wool together so I just have to lift the bag out after it's finished, rather than pulling chunks of wool out in handfuls.
Once the wool is in the washer, I close the lid and set a timer for 30 minutes. I just let it sit and soak. I usually add some white vinegar to help with the PH and to cut the soap. I also add some drops of cedar essential oil to help deter moths as the wool sits out to air dry.
This is a Shetland fleece I have just dumped out onto my skirting table. I will use my hands to separate the wool so it will air dry faster.
There is still some small vegetation matter that is in the wool. Sometimes, as I'm running through it with my hands, pieces will fall out or I pick them out. I'm not too worried about it at this stage. Once the wool dries, it will move to the next step which is called 'picking'. I have a very small picker right now. I have a 'studio picker' by Fancy Kitty that is on order and should arrive at the end of the week. I can process more wool at once to save a little time. I will write about picking in another post.
My husband built these awesome drying racks out of leftover PVC and scrap lumber. We then used wildlife netting stapled to the boards. I bought it in the garden section at Lowe's and got 100 feet for $15. (The bags on the floor are fleeces that have dried and are going into the house at the end of my washing session.)
This is my mudroom right now. Clean fleeces ready for the next step!
I will move these into my craft room where they will be stored until I can start the next phase of the process. I think I ended up with 28 fleeces in all. I have to recount once the last one is finished.
It took me two weekends a few nights during the week to get these all done. I had many interruptions from events, kids, visitors, and my regular job that it took me much longer than if I was to just focus solely on the wool. I had a good time while doing it and my girls kept me company the whole time in the shop riding their bikes and building fairy houses. :)
Fabric Designs
I really love drawing and painting even though most of my friends know me as more of a fiber artist. Those closest to me have always known that drawing was my first artistic medium. Over time, I expanded out into rural photography and eventually did portrait photography for a few years for close friends and family and by word of mouth. When my youngest came along, I stopped booking appointments and just focused on my kiddos and Little Dixie Fiber.
This past winter, while my daddy was still with us, I started experimenting with sewing and making project bags to offer in my Etsy shop. I couldn't really do a whole lot do to making sure we spent as much time with my dad while he was still here. But a little seed was started in my mind, just like after I learned to knit. I thought, how can I create something from start to finish? So I learned how to knit, then I learned how to spin, and then I started raising sheep...and the rest is history. Same with sewing...How can a create a project bag where I use my own designs and have them printed onto fabric?
This particular design was first drawn by hand. Two sheep standing in the field.
This design was also one of my favorites because of the teal and maroon colors...and of course, the sheep!
I love woodland themes and so I created this design from all the little doodles that I have done over the years and incorporated them into this little design.
The little foxes also stayed with the woodland theme.
And finally, this little design called Woodland Hare, was inspired by a dress my oldest daughter has. I think this one is my favorite.
I found that I haven't had the time to create my bags in the fabrics just yet. But I found a site where you can order products made from these designs called Society6. The products are already made and shipped by the company.
I really hope to continue this little little experiment and add more products to my Etsy shop!

Best yet Rustic Split Pea Soup
Be the first to review
READY IN: 1hr 35mins
Recipe by Heirloom Tomato
I think this combination turned out especially well. The smoked turkey leg tastes just like ham. With croutons on top or some cornbread, it's a meal! Long simmering time allows the peas to get completely soft and break down so you don't have to puree them.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- i smoked turkey leg
- 1 lb split peas, rinsed and drained
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 cup carrot, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 quarts water
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup half-and-half

Directions See How It's Made
- Put the smoked turkey leg in a six-quart pot. Oval pots are great, as turkey legs can be pretty long!
- Add the split peas and the 2 quarts of water.
- Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer.
- After a while, there will be foam on top of the water. Skim it all off and discard.
- Add the diced onion, carrot, sliced garlic, celery seed, salt and bay leaf.
- Simmer for one hour, mostly covered.
- Remove the bay leaf.
- Remove the turkey leg and allow it to cool enough to handle while you simmer the soup for another fifteen minutes.

- Add meat back to soup.
- Add milk and half and half and heat to serving temperature.
- Serve in big bowls topped with freshly ground pepper.

In 2006, over 6,000 runners participated in the 2nd Annual A1A Marathon and Half Marathon in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. With the course set on one of the most picturesque roads in the entire country, runners enjoyed breathtaking views of the ocean, palm trees and the city.
Formerly the B.C. Open, in 2007 after 35 years on the PGA Tour, the event began a new chapter on the Champion Tour. Played at En-Joi Golf Course in Endicott, N.Y., 180 miles from New York City, this event provided tremendous opportunity to reach an affluent demographic and gave sponsors access to golf's "living legends."
The Gazelle Group produced the Elite 24 Hoops Classic in 2006. The classic brought the top 24 high school basketball players together, regardless of age or shoe affiliation, at the most legendary playground in the world, Rucker Park in New York City.

The Gazelle Group managed sponsorship and event staging and promotion for the 2004 PrimeTime Shootout, the nation's top invitational tournament showcasing the finest high school basketball teams and players. This event featured future No. 1 overall NBA Draft pick Dwight Howard and fellow NBA draft picks Sebastian Telfair, Josh Smith and J.R. Smith. The event brought nearly 20,000 spectators to Trenton's Sovereign Bank Arena over three days, while also attracting top print, broadcast and web media. Games were broadcast live by the YES network and Comcast SportsNet and were also available on DirecTV, reaching more than 20 million homes.
ILF Lacrosse World Championships World Cup of Lacrosse
In 1998, the Gazelle Group was retained by US Lacrosse to sell corporate sponsorship for the ILF Lacrosse World Championships, an event that is held every four years. Gazelle also produced, distributed and syndicated the international television broadcast of the event. The games were televised in the U.K. and Australia. Some still consider the championship game to be the greatest lacrosse game ever played. The United States rallied from an eight-goal deficit to defeat Canada in overtime. The following year, Gazelle produced the World Cup of Lacrosse to rematch the United States and Canada. The U.S. defeated Canada two games to none in the best of three series. The games were internationally televised throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, Asia, India and Japan.

Rugby League in the Czech Republic
The 13-man code is coming to Prague
The former rugby union coach, and current RC Slavia Praha committee member, is bringing rugby league - a 13-a-side offshoot of 15-man union - to the Czech Republic.
Mrtýnek, whose day job is running a sports-tour company, was first introduced to rugby league in Yorkshire, northern England, last year.
"My wife is English, and she has family up north in Scarborough," he explains. "We saw in the newspaper that Bradford were playing St. Helens, so I said I wanted to see the sport. So we went there, and it was an excellent experience - a nice summer day, Friday evening, a full Odsal stadium.
"Straight away it found a small place in my heart," he adds. "I had to appreciate the wonderful athletes and the very professional attitude."
Compared to rugby union, Mrtýnek says, rugby league is "in some ways ... a faster and harder game. Not so many tactics, not so much kicking."
But while rugby union is a well-established minority sport in the Czech Republic, rugby league is virtually unknown.
Chance meeting
Eager to give the game a try, Mrtýnek returned to Prague where, through a chance meeting, he came into contact with Kevin Rudd, the Rugby League European Federation's (RLEF's) first development officer. (Rudd's sister-in-law has a Czech husband and lives in nearby Průhonice.)
Charged with spreading the rugby league gospel on the continent, Rudd describes his role as "a vocation" rather than just a job.
With that in mind, Rudd travelled to Prague earlier this month to oversee a training session organized by Mrtýnek.
Held, because of bitterly cold weather, in an indoor basketball hall, the training session couldn't replicate the game's speed and power but Rudd was able to give the Czech players a concise, intense introduction to the sport.
As well as teaching the skills and tactics unique to the game, Rudd also used his laptop to show the assembled players footage from a game between Georgia and Serbia.
Played in front of an 8,000-strong crowd, and televised live on Georgian TV, the video is an impressive illustration of rugby league's potential in Eastern Europe.
After the session, Rudd declared himself impressed with the talent on show. "There were four or five players with natural rugby league ability and natural ball skill, and with the right coaching they could play rugby league very well," he said.
But is it realistic to expect the Czechs to put together a national team?
"It's happened in other countries," Rudd says. "It's happened in Germany, Estonia, and it's happened in Serbia. It's happened in Georgia. A lot of it is to do with the skill of the management off the field."
Rugby apartheid
Played mainly in northern England, Australia, New Zealand and southern France, the sport makes up in passion what it lacks in geographical coverage.
The 13-man code emerged as a separate sport following a split with rugby union in 1895, when the game was still amateur.
While rugby in southern England was a middle-class sport, teams in northern England began to compensate their players for the time they took off work to play the game.
These "broken time" payments contravened rugby union rules on professionalism, and the sport's London-based governing body, the Rugby Football Union (RFU), began to suspend northern clubs and players from competition.
Angry at the RFU's actions, the northern clubs formed a semi-professional breakaway competition, later known as the Rugby League.
In retaliation, the RFU imposed a kind of rugby apartheid, banning any player who played rugby league - even at an amateur level.
Peace between the codes finally broke out in 1995, when rugby union accepted professionalism.
As a result of its history, rugby league has developed into a separate sport from union, governed by different rules.
Besides the number of players on the pitch, the main difference is rugby league's "play the ball" rule. Roughly comparable to American football's "downs," rugby league teams get six attempts to advance the ball the full length of the pitch.
"In rugby union, you have to release the ball when you're tackled," Rudd explains. "In rugby league, you keep hold of it and you have six tackles to score. On the sixth tackle, if you haven't scored, you kick it to the opposition, and they come back to you, whereas in rugby union, it can be continuous possession."
Peaceful coexistence?
Both Rudd and Mrtýnek emphasise that they aren't promoting league as an alternative to union.
"It's not 'rather than', it's 'as well as'," says Rudd. "Many people around the world now are playing rugby league and rugby union. The countries that are [playing both] are generally going further ahead of those that aren't. It's no coincidence that rugby union teams in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Australia have all got top rugby league coaches on their coaching staff."
Mrtýnek, meanwhile, hopes he can avoid any conflict between the codes. "I'm just trying to be very open about it, you know? Approach the right people at the right time, try to do it the right way."
"Our only way to go, together with rugby union, is to play a short, summer season, to give union players another option," says Mrtýnek.
The new Czech Association of Rugby League (CZARL) has turned down a chance to play in this year's World Cup, but their plans for the year ahead are still ambitious.
In July, a UK universities touring side, the Pioneers, will stage training camps in the Czech Republic; then, in August, a Czech national team is set to play its first full international, against the Netherlands, in Rotterdam. There are also plans to play Germany later that month, possibly in Prague.

text: AsiaSri Lanka law pushes for reduced paint lead New law in Sri Lanka requires reduction in lead content in paints, which is harmful to humans. 30 May 2013 03:36 GMT | Asia, Sri Lanka The dangers of lead poisoning from paint have been well documented. But many countries still allow lead-based paint to be manufactured. It is often used in offices and homes. Lead from paint dusk or flakes is easily inhaled or ingested - especially by children. It is believed millions of youngsters have been affected. They are most at risk because their bodies are smaller and still developing. Low level lead poisoning makes children appear inattentive and irritable. Higher levels can result in delayed growth, slow learning and hearing loss. Lead poisoning also affects adults. Globally, it kills around 670,000 people each year. In Sri Lanka, new rules were brought in after a study found that many paints contained dangerously high levels of the substance.

The story of massively post-human cybernetic beings should be told through all-senses and video wired directly into your head. Unfortunately, we don't have that yet.
"Rapture of the Nerds," released Sept. 4, is an attempt to pare down the staggering complexity of the post-human, post-singularity world of the far future and compress it into a single book.
Authors Cory Doctorow and Charles Stross succeed with their book, written by the pair in 500-word chunks, trading back and forth via email.
"Rapture" follows Huw Jones, a rare luddite, or a person who doesn't adopt certain technologies for personal reasons, on an Earth passed over by the technological singularity, which is the ascent of computers and humans into superintelligent rapidly-involving immortal entities. From time to time, the cloud of computer superintelligences orbiting Earth spams the planet with designs for potentially dangerous technology.
Jones joins the technology jury, a design-spam regulation body, to help prevent the spread of these technologies. However, by the end of the novel, he joins forces with the superintelligences and adopts their technologies to represent all of Earth, mortals and computers, before a galactic jury of even higher and stranger beings.
Most of the superintelligences in "Rapture" are humans who have uploaded scans of their meat-brains into the fog made of matter optimized for computing that surrounds Earth. At first, they play the role of antagonists, but events later in the story pair mere mortal Jones with the cloudminds, which are quite literally minds living in the computer cloud, against stranger and more dangerous threats.
Stross and Doctorow's continuous edits have created a seamless blend between the two writers' styles. Doctorow writes mostly dystopian near-future fiction. Stross writes mostly far-future dystopian singularitarian science fiction, yet their different genres blend together into a page-turning dystopian novel.
I read the 349 pages in less than a day, but I have past familiarity with the worlds built by these authors. Fans of their work will note that "Rapture" is an expansion upon their previous joint short stories "Jury Duty" and "Appeals Court," available free online. I purchased my copy of "Rapture" for $24.99, not including tax, from Barnes and Noble, and right now the book is only available in a hardback edition.
