Following a dramatic year of controversial rulings , the Supreme Court began hearing new cases on Monday with a full agenda.
The court overturned abortion rights and expanded gun rights in June as the new conservative supermajority began to exert its influence.
Some of the court's most important upcoming cases focus on the future of affirmative action , equal treatment of LGBTQ people , and the control of election laws . The court will hear the cases in the fall and then likely issue rulings in spring 2023.
As a close observer of the court , I think this term's rulings will continue to reject the court's previous liberal decisions and instead reflect a conservative interpretation of the historical meaning of the Constitution. At least three of those upcoming rulings are likely to profoundly influence people's everyday lives in the United States.
Affirmative action
College admissions and scholarships can alter the trajectory of a life.
College administrators want diverse student populations but are less clear about which categories – including race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity and wealth – should influence admission and financial aid decisions. When it comes down to the specifics of which people are underrepresented in higher education, and which are overrepresented, the questions become thorny.
Many different groups feel that they are being mistreated when their specific circumstances and histories are taken into account.
The Supreme Court will hear two lawsuits on Oct. 31 brought by the anti-affirmative action organization Students for Fair Admissions . This group argues that Harvard and other schools blatantly discriminate against Asian students. But the claim is a proxy for all other preferences grounded in identity, including those in favor of Black applicants and those disadvantaging whites.
The two cases – one against Harvard and the other against the University of North Carolina —address private as well as public institutions.
Nine states currently have laws that ban affirmative action in college admissions. The extent and focus of existing diversity policies vary widely .
Universities justifying their diversity policies argue that the 14th Amendment and its guarantee of "equal protection of the laws" encourage giving an advantage to historically oppressed groups.
The opponents of affirmative action argue that the 14th Amendment was meant to uphold racial neutrality , meaning all individuals should be treated the same, regardless of race. In this view, the Constitution forbids considering race in almost any decisions that influence individual advancement.
The core conflict is whether the equal protection clause protects equality or equity .
If is it equality – the same treatment of all races, regardless – this supports the argument that universities may not give preferences to applicants of one race over another.
If the 14th Amendment is found to guarantee equity – or trying to create equal outcomes for all by favoring historically disadvantaged groups – this supports the argument that affirmative action policies are constitutionally sound, and perhaps even required in public institutions.
The current court, with a conservative majority, almost certainly favors the argument that the equal protection clause endorses equality, not equity.
In a 2007 ruling on public high schools , for example, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that "the way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race ."

Simple Workout Template for MMA Strength and Conditioning Programs
by Corey Beasley
In order to get the most out of your MMA strength and conditioning program, every fighter must be consistent. Without consistency, you will never develop into the powerful athlete that you desire to be. Once you are committed, then its time to start working in the gym. Lets start with a basic template to use for each workout.
MMA Strength and Conditioning Workout Template
Mobility and SMR - 5 minutes
Got a few minor aches & pains? Maybe its from sitting too long, training or just plain sore... either way, in order to combat this tightness and prepare for the workout, we start each session with a variety of mobility drills and soft tissue work. Soft tissue work is basically a fancy word for foam rolling. This trigger point work, combined with mobility drills, helps loosen up overactive muscles, lube up the joints and avoid injury.
Activation - 5 minutes
Our warm up is just an extension of the mobility and SMR work, but this section focuses more on movement, raising the core body temperature, and further preparing the body for the workout. Typically we will do a variety of isometric exercises, crawling, animal drills, running drills and a variety of other things to get the athlete prepped.
Speed, Agility and Quickness 5-10 minutes
This section of the workout is designed to 'light up' the nervous system. This can include things like movement drills at speed, speed ladders, cone drills, plyometrics, medicine ball work and more. We categorize these movements into sprints, jumps and throws. Short doses of explosive drills to wake up the body and prepare it for the work coming up.
Strength 20-40 minutes
This is the meat and potatoes of the workout. At this point the body is warm, fired up and ready to work hard. Depending on the ability level and goal for each athlete, we tailor make each workout to help them GET STRONG in every direction. We squat, lunge, push, pull, bend, and carry using a variety of tools. Barbells, kettlebells, sandbags, chains, bands, dumbbells, and many other pieces of equipment are used to challenge each athlete. While many programs strictly focus on basic gym lifts, we also use a lot of unconventional lifts that challenge each fighter from head to toe.
Conditioning 5-15 minutes
Once the strength work is completed, then its time to make the heart beat and open up the lungs. Many sports, like football, rely on short, quick bursts of effort, with lots of time to rest. MMA is a different beast. Fighters need to have speed, MMA strength, power and the ability to endure for up to 25 minutes. Because of this, fighters must do a variety of conditioning drills that challenge each the three energy systems. In our program we basically do 3 types of conditioning work: 5-12 sec bursts of effort, 20sec-1 minute grinder splits and 2 minute + duration sessions. Depending on the goal for that day and the needs of the athlete, we adjust accordingly.
Today, many coaches and athletes believe that they need to be exhausted after every workout, but nothing could be further from the truth. The goal with each workout should be to stimulate, not annihilate the athlete. Sure they can work hard, but they must get better, not just tired.
Having a template for each workout helps an athlete make progress over time, develops a well rounded fighter and helps avoid overtraining and injury.
You may not follow this template for every workout, but having this to fall back on will bring some structure to your plans.
If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment.

Afghanistan, a country that has been in and out of the news since the 9/11 terror attack and subsequent U.S.-led coalition invasion, is once again at the forefront of media attention this month, as a result of Trump's decision to cancel peace talks with the Taliban on 9th September. The relentless violence and bombings conducted by Afghan state forces, U.S.-backed Afghan militias, Taliban, religious extremist groups, career criminals and other groups are no longer considered to be remarkable events; they happen so frequently that the international audience has become desensitized to them.

Content warning: mentions mass shooting
From big cities to rural communities, gun crime brings chaos and despair. Guns kill on average 12,000 people a year in the US. Recent shootings in Texas and Las Vegas have left local populations shattered yet a feeling of deja vu rests with an increasingly desensitised nation. Such events have ceased to shock, leaving only numbness and a perplexed public watching politicians squabbling over gun laws and counting potential lost or gained votes. But some things remain the same: the US has a gun problem and everyone knows it.Continue Reading

Content warning: article mentions terrorism, (anti) abortion, homophobia, racism
So, the election was fun, right? Even if you didn't vote Labour (and fair enough if you didn't), watching Theresa May fall from an unassailable lead in the polls all the way to a humiliatingly hung Parliament, in a blizzard of vague soundbites, invasive and inadequate policies and flailing attempts to smear the opposition, was still rather viscerally satisfying in its own way. Early Friday morning saw a weird sense of relief from many who expected a Tory landslide.
Unfortunately, early Friday morning turned to mid-Friday morning, and then suddenly dove back into the bad old days, with the announcement that a desperate May government had decided to form a 'confidence and supply' agreement with the Northern Irish Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) in order to form a government.Continue Reading

Indian High Commission London pays homage to martyrs of Pulwama terror attack: Protests all over the world
Saturday 23 February 2019 11:37 AM UTC
LONDON Feb 23: A solemn event was held at the High Commission of India to pay homage to the martyrs of Pulwama terror attack and express solidarity with their families.
Representative of different faiths of the Indian community gathered and observed silence for two minutes.
High Commissioner, Mrs Ruchi Ghanashyam called upon all gathered to take pledge to pursue interests of our motherland in earnest.
According to reports, protests against Pakistan over the brutal Pulwama attack have spread across the world, with nearly 50 countries condemning the nefarious act carried out by banned Pakistani terror organisation Jaish-e-Mohammed in Jammu and Kashmir that killed 40 Central Reserve Police Force jawans on February 14.
Indians living abroad have taken to streets, the latest development coming from the United Kingdom. Hundreds of non-resident Indians in Britain protested outside the Pakistan High Commission in London last Saturday.
Indian communities across the United States also have been holding protest marches denouncing the role of Pakistan in the terror attack. More than a hundred US-based Indians protested outside the Pakistan consulate in New York on Friday.
Meanwhile adding pressure to Pakistan, the Paris-based Financial Action Task Force (FATF) on Friday retained Pakistan on its "grey list", saying Islamabad had made only "limited progress" in curbing terror financing and failed to grasp the risks posed by groups such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), which has claimed responsibility of the Pulwama terror attack.
The action by the global terror financing watchdog, which is a relief to India, came a day after the UN Security Council, in a statement, condemned the 14 February suicide attack in Pulwama that killed about 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel. The UNSC also named the Pakistan-based JeM in the statement.
Tensions between India and Pakistan have been running high since the Pulwama terror attack, with the Pakistani army on Friday warning it will respond to any Indian reprisal with "full force", according to Reuters news agency.

Good to see participation in this forum. I have successfully paid off debt after 2 and ½ years.
I used to participate in this forum. Good to see that there's participation once again.
I want to share something. Last month I've been able to repay my debts after about 2 and 1/2 years. I wanted to pay off all my myself. I had an overwhelming credit card debt. And to make the matter worse, I was not able to save much because of some financial constraints.
However, I'm happy that I could bring my finances back in order, and I want to say that debt snowball and debt avalanche really helps if you can manage your money properly. Plan a suitable budget so that you can save a decent amount. Also, I had to plan my shopping for some days and restrict eating outs. I know it's a bit difficult in the beginning but it becomes pretty easier when you start following a regimen - to save money.

How It Works
The workshop is open for 6 weeks. During the first 3 weeks (or 21 days) of the workshop, we release a new lesson every other day. After the first 3 weeks, the workshop stays open for another 3 weeks so you can work at your own pace.
It's impossible to fall behind. Some participants do each lesson the day it's revealed, others do it a few weeks later. There are always people in the discussion board for each lesson—challenging each other, asking questions and sharing examples. It's not unusual for there to be a new post every five minutes when it gets buzzing. You don't (you can't) read them all, just as you can't hear every conversation in every classroom on Stanford's campus. That's okay. Take what you need and be in the conversations that interest you.
There are 3 parts to the learning process in this workshop:
Each lesson features Dr. Lance sharing his insights and experience. The videos generally last five to ten minutes each.
Each of the ten videos will prompt you to think hard about your particular situation, your project and the ways you show up in life, and then share those insights with the cohort in the workshop.
Comment on other students' responses and ask questions in the 24/7 discussion board. It's called a workshop because this is where the real work happens. You'll soon discover just how much you have in common with others on this journey, even if they live in a different country, serve a different audience and have access to different resources. This diversity is hard to find anywhere else.
- Create and hold space for those you care about
- Use proven frameworks to find new opportunities for connection
- Learn to trust yourself
- Transform your communication by embracing the concept of a needs-based consciousness
- Build trust with those you care about by seeing them, helping them feel seen, and caring about their needs as much as you do your own
- Cultivate presence to prep the soil for deep connection
- Listen empathetically so the people you care about can feel that you care about them
- Learn strategies for the hard moments and conversations that matter
- Become a person others trust to step up in times of challenge, tension, and conflict
- And more…
Our Manifesto
This workshop isn't simply a theory. It's based on taking action. Learning happens when you interact with the market. We teach practical tactics, structures and methods you can use to adopt the mindset of the interested and build trust with the people you care about.
The acture of the Interested:
- We notice what we notice.
- We feel what we feel.
- We find needs and fill them.
- We value our needs and the needs of others.
- We make value-guided decisions.
- We take purpose-driven action.
- We seek connection rather than correction.
- We are interested rather than interesting.
- We follow in, follow up, and follow through.
- We are on the path toward mastery with no expectation of arrival.
Work at Your Own Pace
No giant promises. No rigorous timeline. No tests. No grades.
This is learning.
Most learning experiences are defined by a set schedule with exact deadlines, correct answers and a certificate at the end.
We're offering something different. We want you to commit to this workshop and to fit it into your already jam-packed life. We offer you guidance and peer accountability, and ask you to respond with effort and contribution.
This workshop is a brave space with support from people just like you to help you do work that matters for the people you care about. We celebrate exploration, possibility, curiosity, generosity and the allochronic nature of today's world.
In this workshop, you decide how much time you have to contribute and the ways you'll integrate it into your life.
The truth is that the more you put in, the more you'll get out. If you just watch the videos, that's fine, but the real magic happens when you become a contributor, a facilitator, and a team member. The real magic in this workshop is when you do the work. And the work is giving it your best shot and joining discussions with other students. It will feel uncomfortable, at first.
During the 6 weeks of the workshop, we provide a flexible structure. The lessons outline the work, and the discussions make it real.
You can take a few days away, then pick up where you left off, work within your time constraints, balance other responsibilities and address obstacles so you can keep moving forward no matter what.
The feelings of falling behind or not doing enough are just fictional stories. We'll fight hard to keep those feelings from distracting you from doing the work that matters.
With nearly 3,000 people attending Dr. Lance's lectures, workshops, and programs over the last few years, he's seen extraordinary results occur because people embrace a possibility: That the best version of themselves is attainable. That generous, open-hearted work of building trust in a partnership, in a profession, and in a community is a magical opportunity. Does that sound like what you're looking for?
Facilitation & Support
Our faciliation models the culture of possibility, commitment, respect and connection.
We will help to facilitate and bring out the best in you by reflecting questions and holding you accountable.
We will not provide you with answers, reassurance or validation.
The strategy or language you try in the challenges you're working with might not work the first time. But this workshop gives you the space to reflect, receive empathy, and move closer to one that will.

MILAN — Max Mara Group, which has been present in Greater China for more than 30 years, is stepping up its retail expansion in the region to ensure it remains one of the leaders of the pack.
The first step is the opening today of a new flagship in Hong Kong, marked by a major fashion show event.
In its typically understated way, Max Mara has grown to more than 300 stores in China, a country it entered in 1988. This is even more surprising for a women's wear group in an area where sales were for so long driven by men.
"We have seen an average of 30 percent growth per year in a market that is greatly relevant for us," said chairman Luigi Maramotti in an exclusive interview.
Along with Russia, China is the company's fastest-growing market, he said. Exports account for 58 percent of group sales. Founded in 1951 by Luigi's father, Achille Maramotti, a pioneer in developing ready-to-wear, the Italian clothing firm had sales in 2011 of 1.26 billion euros, or $1.63 billion at average exchange; more than 2,330 stores in 150 countries, and 5,248 employees.
The group's stores — carrying brands Max Mara, Weekend by Max Mara, Sportmax, Max & Co., Marella, Pennyblack, Marina Rinaldi and iBlues — include 238 units in China, 36 in Hong Kong, 42 in Taiwan and five in Macau. At the end of 2012, Max Mara expects to reach 320 units in Greater China.
The new Hong Kong flagship is located in the exclusive Central shopping and financial district, positioned near brands including Bulgari, Prada and Cartier, and the luxury Mandarin Oriental Hotel. It covers two floors and 4,860 square feet in the prestigious St. George's Building. The store carries the Max Mara, Sportmax, 'S Max Mara, Max Mara Accessories, Atelier and Max Mara Elegante brands. The group already has 36 stores in Hong Kong.
The concept behind the store is to engage customers in a sensory experience, creating an oasis set against the frantic pace of the city. Customers can catch soothing, nature-themed images on LED screens through a forest of cane stick panels, while natural essences waft through the space.
Designed by Max Mara's longtime go-to studio Duccio Grassi Architects, the design aims to create a "tactile and visually sophisticated environment," said Maramotti, noting the company's goal is not to simply devise a decor but "to set a challenge and transfer principles of design from the dresses to the stores."
He explained that in designing the Hong Kong store, there was a "wish to create a small paradox." He described Hong Kong as bustling, intense, cosmopolitan and fast-paced. "We believe in values that can create a balance in this endless rush, values that are more intimate and meditative," he said.
For this reason, the goal is to contrast the "uncontrollable speed of the city" with the interiors. "We like the idea of the store as a space to tell a story, where there is a human component, filtered and relaxed, averted from traffic and noise," said Maramotti. "We all are looking for stories. There is a lot of written and visual information in this society, but we have moved away from the oral tradition, and there are less and less storytellers. But relations are what people are interested in. Here, there is a natural discovery of a tale."
Inside the windows, there is a second layer of steel, glass and moving light that frames the entrance and the windows.
The uneven design of this layer allows the interior to be seen from outside, letting the natural sunlight filter through.
To mark the opening, the Hong Kong flagship will carry a luxury edition of the Max Mara Margaux handbag, spun in crocodile, python and ostrich leather. The latter will also be presented in a special, limited-edition version in fuchsia. "Chinese shoppers are very sensitive to hides and colors in particular, they like fuchsia and vivacious hues, which are in line with their visual and artistic tradition," explained Maramotti.
A special cashmere coat in black with shearling cuffs and fuchsia lining will also be available only at the Hong Kong flagship, as well as exclusive one-off looks from Max Mara for fall and from Max Mara Atelier — the company's special project focused on coats — including an exclusive reedition of the most significant pieces from past seasons. "There is a lot of interest in one-off pieces in China, they add immense value to the story, and make it more special," said Maramotti.
Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony, an event will be held at the city's famed Shaw Studios, with a runway show defined by the company as a "Fantastic Journey," a virtual holographic and multimedia presentation, yet with real models, too, and a mix of fashion, art and technology inspired by the theme of luxury travel. Milan's fall show will be replicated, and the Max Mara Atelier collection of coats will be showcased in Hong Kong for the first time, as well as unique Max Mara Elegante evening pieces especially designed for this occasion.
"We opted for the studios because we didn't want a traditional show, but an event built as a tale," said Maramotti, referencing the famed Cinecittà sets and director Federico Fellini. "What better storyteller than Fellini?" he queried.
Recent Max Mara openings in China include a two-story, 3,240-square-foot flagship in Beijing's luxury Season's Place mall and flagships in Chengdu and Hangzhou. Sportmax boutiques opened in Shanghai and Beijing, while a Max & Co. flagship was unveiled in Hong Kong at the IFC mall. New stores planned include: a 6,480-square-foot flagship in Chengdu, one in Jinan and one in Shanghai that will cover four stories; a Max & Co. flagship in Shanghai at the Kerry Centre, a new mall that is under construction and that will house the first Abercrombie & Fitch in China, and a Sportmax flagship in Shanghai at the IAPM, which is being built on the Huaihai Lu, aimed at becoming the most trendsetting mall in the city. From "a white canvas," as there is "no urban memory" and historical city centers as in Europe, the Chinese have created luxury shopping locations, said Maramotti. "There are many opportunities in real estate, impressive shopping centers, more and more elaborate and striking as they require ever new unique and awe-inspiring combinations," he noted.
In China, he continued, people are not only aiming at luxury spending but also at a corresponding lifestyle. Western models have been adopted with great conviction by consumers in China, but at an accelerated pace. "They have it in them to travel and move, and their desire to replicate models and references is amplified," he said.
Maramotti said Chinese customers shop for not only Max Mara but Sportmax and, more recently, the Weekend brand. "Max & Co. is our second, most developed brand in China," he added. "Weekend used to be a collection available at the Max Mara stores, but it is now carried in dedicated units and growing significantly."
Maramotti conceded there is "some production" in China at a group level, while the family has heavily invested in know-how and craftsmanship in Italy, where it has founded fashion and training school Fondazione Giulia Maramotti. "Quality does not come from the location but from investments in quality," he said.
After the event, Maramotti will be traveling to Manchuria, eager to see how that region is developing. "It's not only about the speed, but about each city's capacity to personalize its development," he said. "It's not surprising that so many young people choose to go to China, because it is dynamic and contemporary, as projects become real — and fast. [In Italy], there are a lot of discussions that lead to nothing. Action is an extraordinary magnet for young people. And there is confrontation. That's why I'm very interested, there is a stimulus wherever there is energy," said Maramotti.
He downplayed the first signs of China's slowdown, underscoring the difficulties in evaluating the country's mechanisms and legislations. "Over the past 15 years, China's growth has been bigger than expected and plenty of erroneous forecasts were made. It's been a breathless gallop," said Maramotti.
China's development is based on the economic model of the West and its extreme consumerism, he said. "In the West, this model is faltering and by looking at China it's as if we were looking at ourselves in the mirror, and we don't like the image that is reflected back," said Maramotti. "The thing is that they act quickly and we are perplexed when we look at them. Extreme capitalism is not only in China but in the entire Western world, and it's not a different world."

There is something about the mother-son relationship that is irreplaceable. It is boys, however, who love their mother. I often find them sitting on her lap or hugging her around the neck. Sometimes I find them in the kitchen to help him prepare dinner or hold his hand while they are walking in the park. When they are upset, they go directly to her to comfort him.
Benefits of a strong mother and son bond:
They have less growing pains
Boys who have a strong bond with their mother have a sense of security, a safe place where they know they can always go if there is a problem. As a result, they can gain autonomy more easily and enter adulthood with more confidence. Boys who know they are loved do not act to attract attention. They also learn from their mothers how to respect others, especially women.
They do better in school
A mother's love is so powerful that it really rewires a child's brain. When mothers raise their sons at an early age, studies show that they will actually develop more capacity in the part of the brain responsible for memory and learning. This is why boys who have strong relationships with their mothers have, on average, better academic results.
They have less anxiety
The mother helps the sons to develop their self-esteem. When they support their sons and give them a sense of security, boys are free to tackle the world head-on without fear. They know that whatever happens, their mothers will be there to comfort them even if they are struggling. As a result, their incidence of depression is lower and they can also form healthier friendships and relationships.
They adopt a less risky behavior
Boys who grow up without a secure relationship with their mother are at risk for behavioral problems as they grow up. They tend to be more aggressive and act destructively. They are also prone to riskier behaviors when it comes to alcohol, drugs, and sex. Mothers are particularly helpful in instilling in their sons the confidence to resist negative peer pressure.
They develop higher levels of emotional intelligence
Mothers play an important role in developing emotional intelligence in their son. They teach their sons how to understand their own feelings, but they also help them develop empathy for others. In the long run, it prepares them for a happier and more successful life.
Go ahead mom's, hug your sons tight.

Bill Gates says Covid-19 vaccine tech should not be shared with India, now there is a vaccine shortage
In a recent interview, Bill Gates commented that a technology transfer of vaccines should not be considered due to some challenges. His claims, however, do not fit in with the realities and needs of the world.
- Gates said that a technology or "recipe" transfer of vaccines should not be made to other countries.
- He cited it as a big challenge that has never been done before.
- He also mentioned vaccine trials as a reason for avoiding this transfer.
By Sarthak Dogra: Bill Gates has been in the headlines for several reasons since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. The tech mogul was celebrated, mocked and even scathingly criticised for his stand on the production and distribution of a vaccine candidate for the novel disease. A new comment by Gates puts him in a bad light yet again, as the tech entrepreneur suggests not to share patented vaccines with other countries.
In an interview with Sky News, Bill Gates was asked if a change in intellectual property law be helpful in the current Covid crisis? The backing thought was to share the vaccine formula and production techniques with countries other than the US so as to enable localised production.
To the surprise (and shock) of many, Gates said no.
He provided a couple of reasons for his argument. One of these was the limited vaccine factories across the world. Another was the process of transferring the technology itself, which would not be very effective without the "grants" and "expertise" that the US has, as per Gates.
Both vague, uninspiring reasons and not true to the slightest of thought. But even if you start to consider them as legit challenges, it is what Gates said in the midst that ticked off the deafest of ears.
"Moving something that had never been done moving a vaccine from say a J&J factory into a factory in India, that, it's novel."
India? Really? Had Gates not mentioned a specific country in his comment, he might have had a chance to get away with the comment. But considering that the country has the highest production capacity of vaccines in the world, the comment lost its credibility almost immediately.
The fact that India is a vaccine manufacturing hub is known to the world. At the start of this year, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres hailed the country's vaccine production capacity as "the best asset that the world has today" in the fight against Covid-19. The backbone of this production is, anyway, a technology transfer between SII and AstraZeneca and not an individual effort to come up with a magic solution. So how Gates can point this out as a challenge is anybody's guess.
In fact, Gates himself noted that the vaccine manufacturers are making such a technology transfer happen. Then why it cannot or rather "should not be done" is a question that Gates seems much confused on.
One might argue the claims based on the country's ongoing crisis with the disease. That, however, can partly be blamed on the irregular distribution of the vaccine units to other countries and on a tragic under-preparedness of the country to fight a second wave, but not the lack of vaccine production capacity.
Another dull reason he put out for this was the trials required on vaccine candidates. But to think of it, any vaccine candidate is anyway tested in every region of use. So, one can only guess what Gates was trying to imply there.
This is not the first time Gates has come under the radar for his involvement with the vaccine availability around the world. As the pandemic evolved and a new perspective of the world post-Covid-19 came in, many started pointing fingers at how Gates profited from these vaccines.
A growing number of people from across the globe now hold the narrative that Gates knowingly pushed the vaccine towards a profiting business model rather than going for vaccine equity which is the need of the hour.
A report by Australian Fair Trade & Investment Network Ltd (AFTINET) points out the involvement of Gates through his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation towards the partnership of the University of Oxford with AstraZeneca to deliver its Covid-19 vaccine candidate to the countries across the world. The report mentions that this was a major reason for the exclusive license controlled distribution of the vaccine instead of an open distribution model for any manufacturer.
Since much of this is speculation, and outright blame cannot be put on Gates for this. But some hints point to its legitimacy. Gates profited during the pandemic through sources directly linked to the Covid-19 related supplies. Such comments on keeping the vaccines exclusive do not help his case either.

A relatively pale, strong, malty lager beer. Designed to walk a fine line between blandness and too much color. Hop character is generally more apparent than in other bocks.
Can be thought of as either a pale version of a traditional bock, or a Munich helles brewed to bock strength. While quite malty, this beer typically has less dark and rich malt flavors than a traditional bock. May also be drier, hoppier, and more bitter than a traditional bock. The hops compensate for the lower level of melanoidins. There is some dispute whether Helles ("pale") Bock and Mai ("May") Bock are synonymous. Most agree that they are identical (as is the consensus for Märzen and Oktoberfest), but some believe that Maibock is a "fest" type beer hitting the upper limits of hopping and color for the range. Any fruitiness is due to Munich and other specialty malts, not yeast-derived esters developed during fermentation.
Ayinger Maibock, Mahr's Bock, Hacker-Pschorr Hubertus Bock, Capital Maibock, Einbecker Mai-Urbock, Hofbräu Maibock, Victory St. Boisterous, Gordon Biersch Blonde Bock, Smuttynose Maibock

16 June 2021 — Big Brother Watch
Big Brother Watch Team / June 15, 2021
London's Metropolitan Police have been accused of 'misrepresenting Covid rules' after warning that protesting is against the law.
The Met posted a message on social media on Monday warning anti-lockdown protesters that gatherings above 30 people are illegal.
Madeleine Stone said: "Police forces across the country have consistently misrepresented Covid rules and regulations, leading to unprecedented numbers of unlawful fines and prosecutions.
"It is staggering that the Met Police continue to mislead the public about their right to protest.
"This is policing untethered from the law, and it poses a grave threat to our rights and our democracy."

Vaccines won't end Covid so keep wearing your mask, top health official says
(CNN) -- Coronavirus vaccines will provide some light at the end of the tunnel, but they alone won't mean an end to Covid-19, one leading health official said Friday.
"I would like to say vaccines do not equal zero Covid," said Dr. Michael Ryan, the executive director of the World Health Organization's Health Emergencies Program. "Vaccines and vaccination will add a major, major, powerful tool to the toolkit that we have.
"But by themselves they will not do the job."
The US is seeing the worst days of the pandemic and had its highest day of new cases -- 217,664 -- and deaths -- 2,879 -- on Thursday, according to Johns Hopkins.
On Friday, there were 101,276 people hospitalized with Covid-19, breaking the previous record set on Thursday, according to the Covid Tracking Project. This is the third consecutive day that the US has remained above 100,000 current hospitalizations.
More than 14.3 million cases and more than 278,000 deaths have been recorded in the US, according to Johns Hopkins University.
For months, health experts have said that to prevent spread of the virus, people should keep their distance from others, wash their hands and wear their masks. As they learned more about this coronavirus and the disease it causes -- Covid-19 -- officials have amended their recommendations.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday strengthened its guidance for face coverings, saying that wearing a mask is critical and sometimes people should wear them even in their homes.
"Because the highest risk for transmission has been documented among household contacts of Covid-19 patients, keeping the household safe requires physical distancing, using the other public health strategies summarized here, and, in particular, consistent and correct use of face masks (outside the household and in some circumstances within the household) to prevent introduction and transmission of (the virus)," the CDC said.
The CDC also said that while face coverings should be worn to cut down on possible transmission of the virus, they also can provide some protection to the person wearing one.
Officials have cautioned that coronavirus cases will rise during the winter as more people stay inside, and as people gather for holidays.
Cases, hospitalizations and deaths are at an all-time high, but vaccines will help once they are authorized.
States are now preparing to roll out the vaccines to frontline health care workers and people at long-term care facilities. Ohio was one of the states that on Friday released its plan.
"During Phase 1, vaccine supply will be limited, and Ohio will focus on vaccinating those who wish to be vaccinated in the critical Phase 1A groups," according to a news release from the office of Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine.
Ohio expects to receive 660,000 doses in before the end of December.
In New Jersey, where hospitals are preparing to receive 76,000 doses of the vaccine in the first shipment, Gov. Phil Murphy called vaccine distribution a "game changer." But he warned New Jerseyans not to expect restrictions to be lifted soon.
"Covid isn't going to simply vanish just because there are vaccine doses in a freezer waiting for distribution," Murphy told reporters.
Fauci: 'Full brunt' of Thanksgiving not yet felt
Hospitals nationwide have yet to see the effects that Thanksgiving gatherings and travel could bring, with another surge projected in the coming weeks.
On NBC's "Today" on Friday, Dr. Anthony Fauci said the "full brunt" of Thanksgiving coronavirus cases won't be clear for another week or two.
"We'll see more of the surge as we get two to three weeks past (and) it butts right up on the Christmas holiday, as people start to travel and shop and congregate," Fauci said.
Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said he accepted President-elect Joe Biden's offer to serve as his chief medical adviser "right on the spot."
Fauci said he supports as a "good idea" Biden's plan to suggest all Americans wear a mask for the first 100 days of his presidency.
Dr. Celine Gounder, a member of the Biden-Harris transition Covid-19 advisory board, said the incoming administration doesn't plan a national shutdown.
"Shutdowns, or lockdowns, are really not on the table, at least not from the Biden-Harris team. We really view this as restrictions that you dial up or dial down based on the local epidemiology," Gounder said.
Health care systems under stress
Leading health officials say rising cases will be followed by more hospitalizations that could cripple health care systems across the country. Hospitals and experts all over the US are sounding the alarm.
Marvin O'Quinn, president and chief operating officer of CommonSpirit Health, which runs hospitals in 21 states, told CNN that all its hospitals are getting more patients.
"We are now up to roughly 2,100 positive cases in our hospitals. That's an increase of almost 70% since November 11," O'Quinn said. "We're seeing about 70 to 100 new cases every day."
In Pennsylvania, just under 5,000 people are hospitalized with Covid-19, and two parts of the state are inching closer to staffing shortages, Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine said Thursday.
"It is so important to remember that all of us have to be mindful, that we all have a role to play in what is happening in the hospitals right now," Levine said. "You might not need hospital care right now; you might not have a loved one in the hospital right now. But what is happening in our hospitals has a direct impact on you."
In the past two months, the positivity rate in Miami-Dade County, Florida, has spiked 91%, the county's Chief Medical Officer Peter Paige said Friday. Hospitalizations spiked 139%.
Maryland health officials reported 3,792 new Covid-19 cases Friday, breaking the state's previous record for daily cases, said the Department of Health.
This is the first time Maryland has passed 3,000 cases in a day, CNN's tally shows.
Growing acceptance of masks, vaccine
Most US adults -- 72% -- say it bothers them when people in public do not wear masks, according to a survey from the Pew Research Center. Far fewer adults -- 28% -- say it bothers them at least somewhat when stores require customers to wear masks for service.
Results showed 87% say they have worn a mask or face covering "all or most of the time" in stores and businesses over the past month. That includes 91% of Democrats and 81% of Republicans.
Pew also reported that 60% of respondents now say that if a Covid-19 vaccine were available today, they would take it.
Among those not willing to get the vaccine, about half of them -- or 18% of US adults -- say it's possible they could decide to get vaccinated once more information becomes available, but 21% of US adults are "pretty certain" more information will not change their mind.
The survey was conducted between November 18 and 29 and included 12,648 respondents.
The Department of Health and Human Services launched its national ad campaign promoting awareness about forthcoming vaccines with a modest $150,000 ad buy on YouTube.
New strict measures
California hospitals are treating more than 9,900 Covid-19 patients, the highest level yet, according to data from the state's Health Department. More than 2,200 of those patients are in intensive care units, which is also the highest number since the pandemic's start.
The figure comes as Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a strict regional stay-at-home order. The order will go into effect 48 hours after ICU capacity drops below 15%in one of five regions, Northern California, the Bay Area, Greater Sacramento, the San Joaquin Valley or Southern California.
But six governments in the Bay Area aren't waiting.
"It takes several weeks for new restrictions to slow rising hospitalizations and waiting until only 15% of a region's ICU beds are available is just too late," said San Francisco Health Officer Dr. Tomás Aragon. "Many heavily impacted parts of our region already have less than 15% of ICU beds available, and the time to act is now."
The order will go into place Sunday in the combined city and county of San Francisco, the city of Berkeley and Contra Costa and Santa Clara counties followed by Alameda County on Monday and Marin County on Tuesday. The orders affect roughly 6 million people.
California added 22,018 new Covid-19 cases Friday, topping the state's all-time high for daily positives that was set earlier this week. The total number of confirmed cases is 1.2 million.
Delaware Gov. John Carney announced Thursday a stay-at-home advisory, telling residents to avoid indoor gatherings with anyone outside their households from December 14 through January 11. The state also will require residents to wear cloth face coverings every time they're indoors with someone who isn't in their households, the governor's office said.
"A vaccine is on the way but, make no mistake, we are facing the most difficult few months of this crisis," the governor said in a statement. "I know we're all tired of Covid-19 -- but it's not tired of us."

I am not a gardener which was once proved when I dug up some lovely blue flowers on a verge for my Mum to be told they were weeds, albeit very pretty ones.
Trying to grow veg as a kid was very much hit and miss, and planting green beans resulted in mushrooms.
The lad next door was so intent on growing his carrots, that he dug them up every day to see how they were doing. Unfortunately they died.
My grandfather loved his flowers and my Dad grew his own fruit and veg for wines.
Quite a few boaters have wonderful displays of flowers on their roofs, but sadly our efforts at growing onions and tomatoes failed miserably last year. Hubby has cut out his bucket art and we shall be hanging them up in our new property.
This morning walking the dog we passed a garden that was abundant with colour and the smell from the flowers was amazing. We thought it was the roses, but I went back and had a closer sniff (if only Maggie could talk!) and it was from the miniature carnations.
Some of the gardens here are truly lovely, and I appreciate how much work goes into keeping them that way.
MSM loves flowers so I always make sure there are some indoors for her. Her garden is coming together with her pots and Hubby has sorted out some of her water features.
As for us, flowers are not our forte, but we are certainly looking forward to having a vegetable patch again and success with onions, tomatoes, beans, potatoes, and hopefully carrots if the soil's right!

Apple Inc. said Wednesday that it has expanded its authorized repair service network to include all of Best Buy's 1,000 stores around the country.
Nearly 7,600 of Best Buy's Geek Squad staff have been certified by Apple, which guarantees that all repairs on its products are done by trained technicians who will use Apple parts.
The arrangement brings additional visibility to Best Buy's technical support services, a key growth strategy, while also helping drive traffic to its stores.
The relationship between the two companies goes back more than a decade, when the Richfield-based retailer became the first third-party retailer to sell the Apple iPhone in September 2008. Best Buy now operates Apple "store-within-a-store" concepts in nearly all of its locations, in which it showcases Apple merchandise and assigns specially trained sales staff.
With Richfield-based Best Buy Co. Inc. in the mix, there are more than 1,800 Apple-authorized service providers in the United States in addition to its own retail stores. That's triple the number three years ago, according to Apple.
"We're always looking at how we can reliably expand our network of trained technicians and we're excited to partner with every Best Buy store," Tara Bunch, Apple's vice president of AppleCare, said in a statement

The Christ Church Cathedral was arguably New Zealand's most iconic building before much of it crumbled in an earthquake 10 years ago. The years of debate that followed over whether the ruins should be rebuilt or demolished came to symbolize the paralysis that has sometimes afflicted the broader rebuild of Christchurch.
As the city on Monday marks one decade since the quake struck, killing 185 people and upending countless more lives, there are finally signs of progress on the cathedral.
It's being rebuilt to look much like the original that was finished in 1904, only with modern-day improvements to make it warmer and safer, even to add extra much-needed bathrooms. But first, workers must stabilize the remains.
Peter Carrell, the Anglican bishop of Christchurch, said reopening it will represent a key milestone.

Tamar Braxton Poses with Sister Toni and Mom, Says Evelyn Knows How to Take Pics with 'Duck Lips'
Tamar Braxton shares how a family lunch turned into a teaching moment for her mother Evelyn Braxton. She reveals the 71-year-old learned a thing or two about posing with "duck lips."
Tamar Braxton is close to her mom, Evelyn Braxton. They may have had their share of drama in the past, but their relationship definitely came out stronger because of it.

Proof of this is in a recent post of the youngest Braxton sibling. She was having lunch with Evelyn and her sister, Toni Braxton and it was clear the family had a good time.
In fact, Tamar revealed what they bonded over and it wasn't just food. She said she got so tired at the end of the meal because "someone taught my mother how to take selfies with duck lips."
It's unclear who she was referring to but it didn't matter at that point. The real message she wanted to send was, "gotta love my gals."
Tamar loves her mother dearly. That was also evident in her Mother's Day tribute where she referred to Evelyn as not just her mom but her best friend.
In June, she shared her amusement over a clip of the 71-year-old's interview which she applauded because it was "too good."
These instances overshadow what went down between the two of them last year after Tamar confronted Iyanla Vanzant. Tamar famously walked out on the "Iyanla: Fix My Life" host after they got into a heated argument during a Braxton family therapy session to sort out their issues.
Evelyn stepped in and called out her daughter for being disrespectful towards Iyanla, reminding her that she was raised to treat elders with respect. Though Tamar tried to reason, Evelyn put her in her place and said, "You say one more word, I got you. We will respect her [Vanzant]!"
But that was then. Today, mother and daughter are just full of love and respect that the encounter with Iyanla is nothing but a distant memory. Maybe the next time we see a photo of them, Evelyn would be applying what she learned about duck lips.

Luigi's All-Night Parking Lot
Luigi's All-Night Parking Lot
- Book
What a wonderful idea: Use the muttered monologue of a small child playing by himself as the narrative of a picture book. Anyone who has ever eavesdropped on a child in solitary play will recognize the fluid, expansive, and inventive style of Luigi's stream of consciousness: "Hello, Oliver Fenderbender. You're a regular customer. Don't bang into the bus. There's a spot. No? Well, drive around?"
Luigi is the sovereign of his domain, vrooming his toy cars around, creating excitements, and playing the kindly parent or stern authoritarian. He makes the sound effects for every incident, offers grapes to his customers, and even welcomes a helicopter to his all-night lot. Meanwhile, the pictures show a rainbow of chunky, cartoon-style vehicles zipping around under a shiny night sky, with Luigi's narrative framed in a yellow box.
Suddenly, an adult voice intervenes. "Luigi! Time to clean up. It's getting late." The illustrator pulls back his "camera" and we see the toys in their proper perspective, on Luigi's table, as Luigi waits for Papa to tuck him in.
Young readers will be tickled by the appealing energy of the pictures in Joshua Schreier's Luigi's All-Night Parking Lot, and equally delighted by the empathetic rendering of their own form of imaginative play. A

This week's excellent episode of Homeland amplifies Carrie Mathison's eternal dilemma — her personal life versus protecting her country — offering riveting new material while also feeling of a piece with the history of the show. Even the Franny material really works, anchored by Claire Danes's performance and strong writing. It's hard to disagree with Carrie's sister Maggie that she has put her daughter in an abusive, unsafe environment. While it's tempting to root for Carrie to have it all, she's traumatizing her daughter in the process. And now, she's forced to choose country over family.
"Lights, Amplifiers, F**king Twitter" centers on Carrie's interrogation of Dante Allen, with Saul watching from another room. But first, Carrie has to drop off Franny at school, even though her daughter is clearly shaken from the events of the previous night. We'll soon learn that Franny cried all day at school and Maggie had to go and get her. It's the final straw for Maggie, who calls it an abusive situation and tells Carrie she's going to file for custody. Although Carrie first fights this revelation, she seems to understand she's in no state to care for her child, marching away from the home and back to work. She vents out a few screams in her car, but the future of the country is the most important thing right now and Carrie honestly believes she's the only one who can save it.
Senator Paley thinks he has the country's best interest at heart too, although his political differences with President Keane may be blinding him to the truth. As Keane says in the Oval Office, he's wanted her gone since she was sworn in. And so, his request that she resign before Simone Martin's testimony may be in the best interest of the country, but it also fulfills Paley's own agenda. (Quick aside: This season has been remarkably smart about politics, illustrating how often people can run with an idea if it fits their worldview. Social-media dog whistles and echo chambers are inescapable in our real world, and this season is deftly commenting on that experience in surprisingly nuanced ways, given some of its more outlandish writing in recent years.) Keane refuses the resignation request, of course, and she later tells David Wellington to put pressure on Moscow directly. That will turn out to be a very bad idea.
Time for the Carrie and Dante duel! After she convinces Saul to let her run the interrogation, Dante strikes right as she enters the room. Knowing the cameras are on, he immediately undermines her authority. She's a lunatic. She's self-medicating. She's buying pills out of a trunk. He makes everything she plans to say seem immediately suspect. It's a brilliant tactic, as he surely knows Saul is watching. Carrie doesn't really falter — although Danes is brilliant at showing how these accusations sting for a second but don't knock her out, like a fighter taking a punch before finding their footing — and instead lays out the main piece of evidence: the correlation between Simone and Dante's travel. She even throws around a treason charge. He says nothing. She gets up to leave and he says he has to take a leak. She tells her team to take him through the front, so he can see the mountain of evidence on the wall and know how bad he's burned.
After a short detour where David pressures the Russian ambassador to put a stop to Simone, we're back to the interrogation room. We get a great exchange that illustrates the gray areas this season keeps investigating: "It's true." "But it's not the truth." And then Carrie lays out how Dante used her from the minute they reunited. She was always an asset. She even plays to his emotions, telling him, "The problem isn't that you don't love your country, it's that your country doesn't love you back." Dante adamantly denies it all and asks for an attorney, and it's enough to wonder: This season has spun so many times, maybe he really is telling the truth? Is he being framed? We all thought David Wellington was guilty just a few weeks ago, remember?
Carrie isn't buying it. While she goes home to deal with Franny and Maggie, we see Paley put Simone through a practice interrogation while the Russian ambassador meets with the deadly agent Yevgeny in a basement. He tells him to put a stop to Simone's testimony. It's pretty clear that the Russians want Simone dead, which would actually still accomplish quite a few of their goals: She couldn't perjure herself and Paley would likely reveal what she said in committee, thereby undermining her presidency without what the White House is calling "a hostile act." And so, Simone now has a target on her back. Before long, Yevgeny has tracked her down and is sending Russian agents to the safe house.
At the same time, Carrie and Saul pull a risky operation on Dante. Instead of an attorney, they send in their own man to masquerade as counsel. He convinces Dante to sign some papers … on which they've placed deadly poison. Dante clutches his chest and slumps to the floor. Before his heart stops, he tells Carrie, "Like McClendon. The Russians. Simone told me." That's enough for a warrant to get Simone. It also makes it pretty clear that Dante was a part of this operation, at least after the fact. Someone rushes in to give Dante the antidote, but it appears to be too late. His heart has stopped. What if Dante dies? Is that a tragedy or the cost of stopping treason? Or both?
Here's the bigger problem: What if Dante and Simone die? There will be no one left to confirm the entire McClendon thing was a Russian operation. Yes, they have Dante's confession on tape, but using it would reveal the unethical things they did in that interrogation room. Saul surely wouldn't want that out in public.
We've got one more twist left this week: As Simone is rushed from the safe house to Yevgeny, the scary Russian doesn't kill her — he hugs and kisses her. They're a couple! As they speed off into the night, doctors work on Dante in the hospital. Carrie walks away, fading out of focus as she leaves.
Other Notes
• If Simone and Dante were a part of an international operation to kill a general and destroy Keane's presidency, wouldn't they hide the fact that they were traveling together? You would think a superspy like Dante would know that, but perhaps he never suspected anyone would have a reason to look at his itineraries.
• Speaking of Dante, Morgan Spector has been really excellent this season. He's been asked to fill the enormous shoes of Rupert Friend (while narratively recalling Damian Lewis, no less), and he's carved out his own character in a crowded field. If you enjoy watching him here, he's also very good in an upcoming drama starring Olivia Wilde called A Vigilante, which premiered at SXSW last month. He's an actor to watch.
• As long as we're on the new-faces front, I'm also digging the gravitas brought to the show by Linus Roache (David) and Dylan Baker (Paley). They've helped ground an incredibly strong season.
• Finally, I want to call attention to one of the best lines of the season. It's an astute observation that we are in uncharted political waters, no matter which side of the aisle you sit on: "The things we thought could never happen in this country apparently can."

When New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed medical marijuana into law early this month, the new rules included an unusual provision: Patients won't be able to smoke the drug. Instead, they'll have to use THC pills, extracts, or vaporizers.
It wasn't the first time a state enacted MMJ with that requirement. Minnesota's medical weed program, adopted in May, also bans toking – and prevents patients from getting their hands on actual marijuana plant matter.
In both states, it's likely vaporizing will be the method of choice for most patients. Vapes heat liquid or dried marijuana to create a water vapor, which is then inhaled. The technique is believed to be safer than smoking, which introduces a wider array of chemicals to the body.
Many Switching to Vapes
Patients who use vapes are hardly alone. Many pot users, including recreational smokers, are switching to vaporizers for health reasons.
But will that leave traditional tokers out in the cold? Will more states adopt smoking bans and force a switch to vapes? The machines are certainly becoming more popular, in the United States and elsewhere.
"I think it's still trending up in that a lot of people aren't really aware of the health benefits of vaporizing, or at least the harm-reduction aspects of it," said Dr. Ian Mitchell, an ER physician and clinical assistant professor at the University of British Columbia in Canada. "But I think it's inevitably coming, as much because of the medical marketplace as the institutional use."
Not everyone is thrilled with the pressure to stop toking. Some pot advocates and industry insiders say burning marijuana is the only way to release certain cannabinoids, marijuana-based substances that act on the body. Smoking could be a better way for some patients to get the medical effects they need.
Doctors Believe Vaping Could Be Safer
Still, even many die-hard users are embracing the new trend. There's little empirical evidence to verify the safety or effectiveness of vaporizers, which is also true of their nicotine-based cousins, e-cigarettes. But the medical community generally prefers them to smoking.
That was one of the major reasons lawmakers in Minnesota adopted their no-toking rule: to appease a conservative medical community that was highly skeptical of medical marijuana. Similar concerns fueled the provision in New York, which was added to the law at Cuomo's insistence.
What makes vapes so great? It's mainly the fact that they deliver a water vapor rather than smoke. Though it's hot, and can cause coughing, proponents and many healthcare providers believe the vapor is less likely to damage the lungs, mouth, throat, or larynx.
There are potential drawbacks. Vaping typically produces an intensely cerebral high, with much less effect on the body. Patients or recreational users looking for a body high may find the devices less effective than smoking.

The fifth annual U.S.E. Basketball Family Reunion, featuring a panel discussion about how young girls can use the game to achieve their dreams no matter what level they aspire to reach in the sport, will be held Sunday at Pikesville High School.
They daylong event also features games from the elementary school level to a post-college game that showcases some of the area's best former high school girls players.
The Family Reunion began as an idea between former St. Frances players Briana "Breezi" Hutchen and Shatyra Hawkes to give back to the younger girls who play basketball in the Baltimore area. They wanted to showcase local role models and give the younger players and their parents more knowledge about how to follow in their footsteps through a panel discussion.
The discussion starts the day at 10 a.m. and will include a slate of recent college graduates. Al Schell, director and founder of the girls basketball website 695Hoops, was in on the Family Reunion from the start but has taken over more responsibility for it as Hutchen moved into a job as an assistant basketball coach at Iona. NCAA regulations prohibit her, as a coach, from having direct contact with potential recruits, so most of her work is behind the scenes.
Hutchen, The Baltimore Sun's 2010 Player of the Year who went on to play at Rutgers and Alabama, said U.S.E. stands for United, Strong and Empowered. While a lot of the young girls who attend the Family Reunion dream of playing at top level colleges and in the WNBA, Hutchen said the event is not all about that.
"Literally use basketball as a gateway to your future. That doesn't mean you have to play in the WNBA; it means you can use all the effort you put in all these years to get a scholarship, go to college and pursue whatever you want to pursue," she said before last year's event.
While the rosters for the games are closed, anyone can attend the panel discussion and stay to watch the games that follow. First is the Baby Ballers Game for elementary school girls at 11:30 a.m., followed by the Middle School Showdown at 12:45 p.m. The College Alumni game will tip off at 2 p.m. and the High School Showdown of rising juniors vs. rising sophomores at 3:30 p.m. Games may begin earlier if the previous games finish quickly.
Schell said this year's panel will include Amber Singletary, Seton Keough and University of Mississippi graduate; Lindsey Spann, a Good Counsel graduate who played at Penn State before finishing her career this past winter at South Carolina while working on her master's degree; Aivah Parham, a Poly and Norfolk State graduate who sat out her senior year of college after an injury; St. Frances assistant coach Nyteria Burrell, a St. Frances graduate who played at Frank Phillips College in Texas before two ACL tears ended her career after junior college; youth basketball development coach Breaira Barksdale, a City and Tusculum graduate; and Amateur Athletic Union coach Talen Watson, an Arundel and Indiana University of Pennsylvania graduate.
Varsity Highlights
Schell said this year's panel skews younger for a reason.
"In the past, we've had a variety of different coaches and players that played many years ago, so we just wanted to try to get some fresher perspective — those kids that are just now out of college, so everything is fresh in their minds," Schell said. "They're all involved [in basketball], and we wanted to let the girls hear from someone who's doing stuff right now. They all have different pasts, some with injuries and things that took them different places. Some transferred from one school to another. They have a lot of stories that kids want to hear and that hopefully motivates them to follow their own path and not always think that it's going to be similar to somebody else's."
Admission is $10 for the day with children under 10 free.
The College Alumni Game is expected to include past local high school stars such as Hutchen, Barksdale, Daisy Alaeze, Roland Park; Maggie Morrison, Archbishop Spalding; Achiri Ade, Seton Keough; Deanna Harmon, St. Frances; Maya Wynn, McDonogh; La'Shay Taft, City; Tee Tee Robinson, Poly; Lakiah Huff, Joppatowne; Shaquilla Curtis, Archbishop Spalding; and Brielle Ward, Western; as well as Maryland graduates Brene "Bones" Moseley and Laurin Mincy.
In the High School Showdown, Pikesville's Mike Dukes will coach the rising juniors on the 2020 team. The rosters is expected to included Rain Green and Mir McLean, Roland Park; Eniya Russell and Ajae Petty, Institute of Notre Dame; Charia Roberts, Pikesville; Kaniyah Harris, Flowers; Dasia Townes and Jourdyn Ayers, Poly; Larri Sydnor, Catonsville; Hope Evans, Bishop McNamara; and Morgan Moseley, St. James.
Coppin Academy's Chris Hardy will coach the 2021 team, including Jayla Oden, McDonogh; Messiah Hunter, Hopewell; Aniya Gourdine, St. Frances; Taylor Gibson, Bishop McNamara; Niyona Smith, Institute of Notre Dame; Sophia Diehl, Westminster; Jasmine Johnson, St. Timothy's; Kayla Cabbagestalk, Chesapeake-BC; Ashlyn Bender, Glenelg Country; Dakota Fisher, Sanaya Gray and Vashae Rideout, Western; Kristen Sterling, Pikesville; Tenea Robinson, Poly; and Sammy White, Dulaney.
To see the younger game rosters and for more information, go to the 695Hoops website.
