Great place to come home to after a day of skiing. Spacious living areas and a well set up kitchen. Beds are very comfortable and it’s nice that every bedroom has it’s own bathroom. Some of the shower fixtures need plumbing adjustments but the owner, who is responsive and helpful, is aware of these repairs.
We arrived to find the heating was not working and the property was not clean. I rang the owner who sent someone round to fix the heating and change the bed linen. Despite two visits from the heating engineer we never managed to get heat in two of the king bedrooms and the bunk room, and we were offered the use of the adjacent property as sleeping accommodation. This was less than ideal. The master king had not been properly cleaned, the front king had some animal droppings on the floor. The media room had rubbish on the floor. Many of the light fixtures did not work (only one of four in the living room). The hair dryer in the master king did not work. The only can opener did not work. We were unable to close the door on one dish washer. Only one jet worked on the hot tub. There were many other small but irritating problems. To pay so much for such a poorly presented property was disappointing especially as we travelled from the UK for a family holiday.
We are so sorry for the issues you encountered. After we sent the cleaning people up to re-clean your rental, they finished with us. We now have an excellent new cleaning staff. We did call you to ask about the heating, but you never responded.... so we thought everything was fine. This is unusual for the rental of the beautiful property. We have not had any issues since.
Our group of friends (4 families) rented for 4 nights the week after Christmas. We were 21 people all together (8 adults; 13 kids). We rented both halves of the house and it was really more space than needed. We didn't quite appreciate from the listing that this is essentially two homes in one with two large gourmet kitchens/ adjoining family rooms with fireplaces connected by a set of french doors. There were some minor repair issues (a few burned out bulbs needed replacing; there was spackled drywall awaiting a backsplash over the oven; the dishwashers seemed very new and handn't been fully secured into the cabinetry; a shower nozzle came off in one of the upstairs master bath's; and another master shower didn't seem to fully heat). All this to say it looks like this very large property is still coming together and is about 95% there. The hot tubs were in good working order and managed to stay hot in sub zero temps. Win! There was plenty of large, comfortable seating in the common areas/ around the fireplace and long dining tables with plenty of chairs-- again, great for large groups. The owners are accommodating and very enjoyable to work with. As there aren't many reviews from ski travelers on this home I think it's helpful to know this is a great option for groups skiing Sunday River who don't mind staying off the mountain. It's just a ten minute drive and even in arctic conditions all the roads between were well maintained. There's a large mudroom for boots and gear. And we loved having the wood burning fireplace which was generously stocked with plenty of seasoned firewood. The views are beautiful, the beds are comfortable. We recommend highly.
We and three other families rented The Heights, which is comprised of the Eagle's Nest and another unit. The home was absolutely beautiful, as accurately depicted in the online photos. All 17 of us - 8 adults, 9 kids - fit easily, and we could even have added another family of four. The kitchens were well stocked with dinnerware, utensils, cookware, and appliances. The theater room functioned properly and comfortably fit all the kids at once. The pool and poolhouse were wonderful - too bad it never felt so warm that we needed to escape to the poolhouse.
Gourmet in a Pinch was a real highlight for us. The owner recommended them, and she was right. They cooked a Mexican Fiesta one night, and lobster dinner another. The food was fabulous, reasonably priced, and the luxury of not having to cook or clean was a real treat. The owner, Paul, was charming and clearly passionate about his work. Bravo!
The area of Bethel/Sunday River was gorgeous, with scenic mountain views, drives and hikes. The activities were nearby and plentiful, including white water rafting, swimming holes, golf, ziplines, hikes, and even some shopping in Conway on a rainy day. Plan dining and activities carefully because the resort is winter-focused, and some places close completely or for part of each week.
The owner, Susan, couldn't have been more gracious and helpful before and during our stay. Like any large, rental at the end of a busy season, there were a few minor items that I'm sure she'll attend to - one hot tub was out of order and none of us could get the sauna turned on. Those were minor compared to the overall excellent experience. We would highly recommend it,, and would happily return there in the future.
Our stay here was absolutely incredible. The home owners were very gracious and welcoming. The house is the perfect location for a relaxing retreat from the hill. The hot tub was great especially the first night when it was -27 C (-16.6 F) ... We didn't use the theatre or even turn on a TV .... Hit the slopes all day .... Relaxed by the fireplace in the night with wine, beer, and appies .... We brought a lot of food with us but next year when we return I would really recommend ordering your food from "Gourmet in a Pinch" ... A local catering business that has great food and even better prices.
Overall, we loved this place and are planning on returning every year for a week.
We wanted to tell you how much we loved staying at your home in Maine. The accommodations were wonderful and the scenery beautiful. What a peaceful way to wake up every morning and see the magnificent view. You couldn't help but relax, which is what we all needed. Your home was so warm and inviting and you had everything we could possibly need. You are always a little nervous when you pick a place to stay in an area where you have never been before, but you helped alleviate those concerns. Thanks for all of your help as we asked questions upfront, coordinated the stay with us, provided information, and even Arthur's call on Friday night to make sure we had everything our first day there. It was a pleasure. We are definitely fans of Maine now.

As my family sits here enthralled in those ever-important play-off games, I thought I would put out a couple of posts.
My first post is an edible snowflake. I found this my ever reliable Mailbox magazine, Dec./Jan. 2002-3, Kindergarten edition. I made this with my students a few years ago. They really enjoyed it, but mom and dad, it is sweet.
I gave each child the large marshmallow and 6 pretzel sticks. The children push the pretzel sticks into the side of the marshmallow to make a star-like pattern. At the end of each pretzel stick a small marshmallow get pushed on. The final step is to spread frosting on the pretzel sticks to make them white. I put the frosting in the microwave to soften it up and make it easier for the children to spread on the pretzels.
I know I have a sweet tooth, but this snack is a little too sweet for me--actually I don't care for marshmallows, but the children? Well, they loved it. I have included a picture of a what I sent home to the parents that day, so they knew what we made. It's a fun project--as is anything involving making something to eat:).
Mailbox has the greatest ideas. I still have some of my magazines from the 90s that I use.
My kids would love this!! Any activity with sweets!

Europe is often seen as an over-populated, over-travelled continent. But it can still serve up huge helpings of mind-blowing natural beauty – and the peace and quiet with which to contemplate it at leisure. To prove it, we’ve listed eight of Europe’s wildest, most exhilaratingly and away-from-it-all spots – and the best ways to explore them.
When it comes to jaw-dropping natural beauty, few places can compare with the Lofoten archipelago, whose clustered mountains tower above deeply indented bays. It’s not exactly empty of people, with quaint fishing villages now playing host to a burgeoning tourist industry. But untrammelled nature is never far away.
A plethora of hiking trails, cycling routes and fjord cruises provide access to some truly heart-stopping scenery. The islands are well within the Arctic Circle too, so there’s every chance that the midnight sun will add to the drama.
When it comes to European wetlands, few can compete in size and diversity with the Danube Delta. Here, the continent’s greatest river splits into myriad channels before entering the Black Sea. It’s a unique landscape of sandbar islands, semi-sunken forest and dirt-road villages, the majority of which can only be reached by boat.
Disembark at the fishing village of Crişan in the heart of the delta and you’ll be able to follow trails into reed-beds frequented by all manner of birds. Sfântu Gheorghe, the end-of-the-river settlement on the delta’s southern branch, offers more reeds, more birds and several kilometres of stark white beach.
The last significant swathe of primeval woodland left in Europe, Białowieża Forest straddles the border between Poland and Belarus. This emerald world of trees, grasses, mosses and lichens is also home to a 900-strong herd of European bison, re-introduced in the 1920s after the last indigenous specimens had been killed in World War I.
Certain parts of the forest are off limits to casual visitors and can only be explored with a guide. But there’s still a wealth of free-to-wander trails radiating out from the main access point, the pretty village of Białowieża itself.
Running for some 100km along Croatia’s Adriatic coast, the Velebit massif is one of the most brutally rugged mountain chains in southern Europe. While the canyon-riven Southern Velebit (site of the Paklenica National Park) is packed with summer trippers, it’s the less-trodden Northern Velebit that offers the most exhilarating hiking.
Towering Mount Zavižan marks the start of the Premužić trail, the 57km-long holy grail of Croatian hikers. However much of the route you manage to tackle, you’ll be rewarded with stunning views of both the coast and the inland karst.
Nothing screams “wilderness” more than a Baltic peat bog, its squelchy surface covered with mosses, lichens, cranberry bushes and dwarf confers. One of the best places to explore them is Estonia’s Soomaa National Park, where a patchwork of grassland, bog and riverine forest hosts a lively community of elk, beavers, flying squirrels and lynx.
Boardwalk paths such as the Riisa Trail lead out into this swamp-like realm. The spring thaw brings flooding and with it the possibility of canoe trips organised by local outfits such as Sooma.
Mountain ranges are routinely described as wild and unspoilt – but few are genuinely as wild and unspoilt as Durmitor. This limestone massif takes up a large chunk of northern Montenegro. It offers a huge variety of stunning scenery, from moon-grey peaks to grassy plateaux and lakes of eerie beauty.
Hiking possibilities are endless, with a network of trails beneath the 2523m-high summit of Bobotov Kuk. But it’s the rafting trips along the Tara Gorge – Europe’s deepest canyon – that really earn the superlatives. Local agencies such as Summit can book you a place in a dinghy.
In many ways the whole of Finland is a bit of a wilderness, with pristine lakes and huge silent forests lying within easy reach of even the biggest cities. To experience the country at its most awesomely empty, head north to Lapland’s Urho Kekkonen National Park. The park is a 2250-square-kilometre expanse of bare fells, birch forests and tundra-like heath.
Settlements such as Saariselkä, on the western rim, offer access to marked trails suitable for walks of half a day or more. However it’s the longer, 2–3 day trails in the uninhabited heart of the park that will truly put your frontier spirit to the test.
Never heard of High Cup Nick? Or the Nine Standards? That’s probably because the Lake District gets all the tourists, leaving the majestically bleak and boggy hills of the neighbouring Upper Eden Valley comparatively off radar.
Green-brown fells, stone barns, hardy sheep and horizontal rain are the area’s main visual signatures. Two of England’s best-known long-distance trails – the Coast to Coast Walk and The Pennine Way – penetrate parts of the Upper Eden, ensuring that its wind-blasted trails are well documented and easily accessible.

europe is often seen as an over-populated, over-travelled continent. but it can still serve up huge helpings of mind-blowing natural beauty – and the peace and quiet with which to contemplate it at leisure. to prove it, we’ve listed eight of europe’s wildest, most exhilaratingly and away-from-it-all spots – and the best ways to explore them.
when it comes to jaw-dropping natural beauty, few places can compare with the lofoten archipelago, whose clustered mountains tower above deeply indented bays. it’s not exactly empty of people, with quaint fishing villages now playing host to a burgeoning tourist industry. but untrammelled nature is never far away.
a plethora of hiking trails, cycling routes and fjord cruises provide access to some truly heart-stopping scenery. the islands are well within the arctic circle too, so there’s every chance that the midnight sun will add to the drama.
when it comes to european wetlands, few can compete in size and diversity with the danube delta. here, the continent’s greatest river splits into myriad channels before entering the black sea. it’s a unique landscape of sandbar islands, semi-sunken forest and dirt-road villages, the majority of which can only be reached by boat.
disembark at the fishing village of crişan in the heart of the delta and you’ll be able to follow trails into reed-beds frequented by all manner of birds. sfântu gheorghe, the end-of-the-river settlement on the delta’s southern branch, offers more reeds, more birds and several kilometres of stark white beach.
the last significant swathe of primeval woodland left in europe, białowieża forest straddles the border between poland and belarus. this emerald world of trees, grasses, mosses and lichens is also home to a 900-strong herd of european bison, re-introduced in the 1920s after the last indigenous specimens had been killed in world war i.
certain parts of the forest are off limits to casual visitors and can only be explored with a guide. but there’s still a wealth of free-to-wander trails radiating out from the main access point, the pretty village of białowieża itself.
running for some 100km along croatia’s adriatic coast, the velebit massif is one of the most brutally rugged mountain chains in southern europe. while the canyon-riven southern velebit (site of the paklenica national park) is packed with summer trippers, it’s the less-trodden northern velebit that offers the most exhilarating hiking.
towering mount zavižan marks the start of the premužić trail, the 57km-long holy grail of croatian hikers. however much of the route you manage to tackle, you’ll be rewarded with stunning views of both the coast and the inland karst.
nothing screams “wilderness” more than a baltic peat bog, its squelchy surface covered with mosses, lichens, cranberry bushes and dwarf confers. one of the best places to explore them is estonia’s soomaa national park, where a patchwork of grassland, bog and riverine forest hosts a lively community of elk, beavers, flying squirrels and lynx.
boardwalk paths such as the riisa trail lead out into this swamp-like realm. the spring thaw brings flooding and with it the possibility of canoe trips organised by local outfits such as sooma.
mountain ranges are routinely described as wild and unspoilt – but few are genuinely as wild and unspoilt as durmitor. this limestone massif takes up a large chunk of northern montenegro. it offers a huge variety of stunning scenery, from moon-grey peaks to grassy plateaux and lakes of eerie beauty.
hiking possibilities are endless, with a network of trails beneath the 2523m-high summit of bobotov kuk. but it’s the rafting trips along the tara gorge – europe’s deepest canyon – that really earn the superlatives. local agencies such as summit can book you a place in a dinghy.
in many ways the whole of finland is a bit of a wilderness, with pristine lakes and huge silent forests lying within easy reach of even the biggest cities. to experience the country at its most awesomely empty, head north to lapland’s urho kekkonen national park. the park is a 2250-square-kilometre expanse of bare fells, birch forests and tundra-like heath.
settlements such as saariselkä, on the western rim, offer access to marked trails suitable for walks of half a day or more. however it’s the longer, 2–3 day trails in the uninhabited heart of the park that will truly put your frontier spirit to the test.
never heard of high cup nick? or the nine standards? that’s probably because the lake district gets all the tourists, leaving the majestically bleak and boggy hills of the neighbouring upper eden valley comparatively off radar.
green-brown fells, stone barns, hardy sheep and horizontal rain are the area’s main visual signatures. two of england’s best-known long-distance trails – the coast to coast walk and the pennine way – penetrate parts of the upper eden, ensuring that its wind-blasted trails are well documented and easily accessible. head for the market town of kirkby stephen or the heritage village of dufton to get started.

For me, whilst having done a lot of car camping, and felt comfortable in the decisions I made when buying that sort of gear, when it came to going on a hike and having to camp out, carrying all I needed on my back, I made mistakes buying gear for hiking. Some costly mistakes.
Time and research has been invaluable in helping me make better choices.
This story is intended to provide you with information on lightweight options that you won’t get from your local outdoor retailer. I am not going to list everything you need to take on a hike, but pass on some points that you might find worthwhile before you start purchasing your gear.
The key point that I have learned since my initial purchases is that having the gear that fits your particular hiking needs can drastically improve your hiking experiences.
If you go into a retail outlet without a basic understanding of lightweight hiking, your chances of walking out of there with unnecessary (and heavy) crap is greatly increased; especially in Australia where traditional equipment still rules.
I visited some outdoors shops and not knowing enough about what I wanted and what was appropriate for me and what was available worldwide, I purchased what was there in the shop – they were the experts in outdoors gear, so I went along with what Australian stores had to offer.
Now, better informed, I have sold some of my gear on eBay to fund the purchases of lighter gear that was more appropriate for longer hikes.
Unfortunately, not many Australian outdoor retailers have kept up with the latest innovations in lightweight gear, so what they call “lightweight” or “ultra-light” is often quite heavy by today’s standards. That will probably change in the future, but for now, purchasing from overseas is sometimes the only option to get the most innovative lightweight gear on the market.
This is a saying that I learnt early on in my hiking; and it’s true. But I think it could be extended a little.
Because no matter how fit you are, a sub 10kg pack is always going to be more comfortable than a pack that weighs double that, especially over longer distances.
Before you go out and spend a fortune on hiking gear, read up on the lighter options so you have at least some idea of what lightweight hiking has to offer.
· I thoroughly recommend Backpacking North – Ultralight makeover to start you off.
Note: Although these resources are most relevant for North America conditions, most of it translates well to Australia. Just don’t expect to be sleeping comfortably on soft pine needles too often in the Australian bush.
After reading these you may decide that the camping component of hiking is most important to you and still prefer to get all your equipment from your local outdoor shop, but you’ll be better informed, so you can weigh the options and get what’s right for you.
Look at some of the gear available at Mountain Laurel Designs and Gossamer Gear. These aren’t the only sites where you can get lightweight hiking gear, but they’ll get you started.
How have the above resources helped me?
With gear from these two sites, I’ve managed to get my big 3 (pack, shelter, and sleep system) down under 3kg without loss of comfort or safety. My first pack (MacPac Cascade) weighs 3.1kg empty!!! When I bought this pack, it's because I was told it was what I needed, and it was in the shop. Research, has shown that there were other options out there that would do the job, and at a considerably less weight.
Some hikes will necessitate going over the 3kg mark for the big 3, but that’s not important. As long as my pack is only as heavy as it needs to be to keep me safe, comfortable, and satisfy my trip objectives, I’m happy.
When you’re starting out, try to keep it simple, leaving unnecessary items at home.
Borrow or hire as much of your gear as possible, especially the big 3 (pack, shelter and sleep system).
If you join a local hiking club, they often have gear for hire at very reasonable prices.
Some retailers also offer the hire option.
It’s unlikely that you will be able to hire lightweight gear, but at least you’ll get an understanding of how much effort it takes to carry it any distance, and unless you like feeling like a beast of burden, this will put you on the path to lightening your load.
Travelling lighter can make the difference between a love or hatred of hiking, as well as how long you are able to physically do it. If that is something that is important to you, it might be worth looking at the lightweight option a little more closely.

...get ready London. This Sunday it is the Virgin Money Marathon. The Royal Borough of Greenwich is already getting ready with its "No entry signs" and cone collection. Crowd control barriers are out. Portaloos and other marathon amenities are fighting for space with the Circus up on Blackheath common (I suspect this is not as much poor planning as possibly the different uses are in the different Boroughs who share the Common?). Be prepared, if you live in the wrong place as we do, to be trapped in your house until Sunday afternoon... so if the weather is fine, why not go out and support the runners as they pass by?!
Oh look, there's the circus!

DEONTAY WILDER AND ANTHONY JOSHUA, COULD THIS BE IT?
LEAH SHARIBU TURNS 16 TODAY, IN CAPTIVITY!!!
Leah Sharibu was among the abducted 109 girls of the Government Girls Science and Technical College, Dapchi in Yobe State. The girls were abducted by the terrorist group, Boko Haram on February 19, 2018. Leah Sharibu who was aged fifteen at the time of the abduction in March 2018 turn 16 today, Monday. While 104 abducted girls were released to their parents, Leah Sharibu was held back by the captives because she refused to renounce her Christian faith.
"Wilder is going to be getting a contract from us ASAP," Hearn said. "It's obviously the fight we want. There is a lot of sorting out to do for this fight, but great news that in principle he seems to be on board for the idea of coming to the UK for the fight. We're going to be dealing with it and we're going to be making sure he gets the relevant paperwork."
Wilder tweeted : "The $50M offer for him to fight me next in the U.S. is still available. Today I even agreed to their offer to fight Joshua next in the UK. If he prefers the fight in the UK, the ball is in their court. It's up to them to choose."
Not long after, we got a picture from Joshua on twitter with the caption "getting ready to rumble". Everybody assumes he is talking about the proposed fight that will turn reality soon.
Wilder's co-manager Shelly Finkel fed us some juicy bits, "We have agreed to the terms that Eddie has put out to us for a fight in the U.K. Deontay has accepted his terms to fight in the U.K.," Finkel said. "Deontay sent an email to Joshua [Sunday] night, and I sent one [Monday] to Barry Hearn and Eddie telling them that we officially accept the offer to fight under the terms they gave us and to send us the contract."
"Now we will see if they live up to it or if they try to go through with the fight with [mandatory challenger Alexander] Povetkin first. Hopefully, we'll get an answer in the next couple days," Finkel said. "If they change their mind, the $50 million [against 50 percent of the event] we offered them [to come to the United States] is still on the table. That is still for them if they want it."
In 2016, Anthony Joshua won his first world championship defeating Charles Martin to claim the IBF belt at London's 02 Arena. Now, he has the IBO, WBA (Super), and WBO titles by defeating Wladimir Klitschko (2017) and Joseph Parker (2018).
It seems things are looking up for all the eager fans of AJ and Wilder. Nevertheless, we still want an actual date.
If it will be, the fight may take place at London's Wembley Stadium in October or November.
You are just 25 years of age or above but you notice weakness and frequent tiredness even when you are just waking up. Research has shown that you are not alone.

Unified world heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn will hold a meeting with Deontay Wilder’s team in New York next week. This is to enable negotiations for a fight against Anthony Joshua for all the heavyweight world titles.
WBC king Wilder, is yet to accept a flat fee of $12.5m for a massive showdown with the British star, the IBF, WBA and WBO belt holder.
Hearn speaking said, “I’m going to look to meet up with them in New York, get face to face with them, look into the whites of their eyes, and just see if we can make a deal. “We made an offer last week. We haven’t heard from them yet. “There’s been a bit of talking behind the scenes. “We are in New York next week for the Danny Jacobs fight and Katie Taylor unification live on Sky Sports."
It has been loud, it has been wild, it has been intense with all the electrifying feels of euphoria in the 2017 Calabar Carnival with the dance processions and much more. The Governor, Senator Ben Ayade and his wife, Linda Ayade drove in a red colored Lotus convertible while Nollywood actors like Larry Coldsweat, Zack Orji and Edward Osifu participated in the 2017 Carnival Calabar hot wheels event where over 2 dozen vintage, flashy and customized vehicles drove through the 12 Kilometer Carnival Calabar route. Also participating were the Irish and German teams. Sam Dede later joined in the event but appears more interested in the Bikers parade which kicks off after the Cars parade.
Davido has affirmed that he and Chioma are still together. This followed after break up tales from instablog9ja. Instablog9ja had aslo said Davido and Chioma had both unfollowed each other.

AJ (Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua) is at the verge of sealing a heavyweight unification fight deal with Joseph Parker in a deal that is being described as an "overpay" to the New Zealander.
Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn appears to be willing to concede some terms to Team Parker to get the fight sealed, with Cardiff's 78,000 seater Principality Stadium as the most likely venue for the Match.
"We're close," Hearn had told Sky Sports UK. "We're at a stage now where we're having to compromise on certain points that we don't really want to, but ultimately we're going to have to because if you want to fight Anthony Joshua, these guys - they want to be overpaid."
"He is the golden ticket fight, the 'Willy Wonka' golden ticket fight that everybody wants and unfortunately for him, it's going to mean sometimes taking a deal that isn't right," said Hearn.
The 2017 Edition of Soundcity MVP Awards ended during the weekend. The event was at the Eko Convention Center, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, who will be the host for Big Brother Nigeria (2018) hosted the event.
Davido, Olamide, Tiwa Savage and Wizkid emerged winners from some categories. In the Best New Act category, four out of six were Nigerians. Maleek Berry, Mayorkun, Small Doctor and Dice Ailes.
Davido, who rode on massive waves of success last year shows no sign of letting up as won three awards for Song of the Year, Video of the Year, and African Artist of the year. He also gave a shout out to his new best friend, Wizkid.
After a phenomenal world tour that is being recorded as one of the greatest in the history of Africa, one of Nigeria's superstar, David gave an electrifying '30 Billion World Tour' in Lagos, December, 27th,2017 at the EKO Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.

Mo'Hits crew which housed Don Jazzy, D'Banj, Wande Coal, Dr Sid, K-Switch, Ikechukwu and D'Prince before their spilt gave years ago used to be a favorite of Nigerians always hitting the airwaves.
Positive reviews about the event have been buzzing nonstop on twitter and social media platforms. Davido has dominated the Nigerian music scene with IF, FALL, FIA FIA rising rapidly to the top of the charts.
The '30 Billion Concert' was definitely a huge success!

davido has affirmed that he and chioma are still together. this followed after break up tales from instablog9ja. instablog9ja had aslo said davido and chioma had both unfollowed each other.
replying to an instagram user, davido referred to chioma as his wife.
aj (anthony oluwafemi olaseni joshua) is at the verge of sealing a heavyweight unification fight deal with joseph parker in a deal that is being described as an "overpay" to the new zealander.
joshua's promoter eddie hearn appears to be willing to concede some terms to team parker to get the fight sealed, with cardiff's 78,000 seater principality stadium as the most likely venue for the match.
"we're close," hearn had told sky sports uk. "we're at a stage now where we're having to compromise on certain points that we don't really want to, but ultimately we're going to have to because if you want to fight anthony joshua, these guys - they want to be overpaid."
"he is the golden ticket fight, the 'willy wonka' golden ticket fight that everybody wants and unfortunately for him, it's going to mean sometimes taking a deal that isn't right," said hearn.
the 2017 edition of soundcity mvp awards ended during the weekend. the event was at the eko convention center, victoria island, lagos.

The Centre for Popular Education and Human Rights Ghana (CEPEHRG) is the one and only LGBT led organization working actively in Ghana since the year 1998. The organization strives for equal rights for all persons including LGBT persons in a hostile environment where political, religious and some traditional leaders have threatened to lynch anyone found to be Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Trans.
Apart from the numerous religious, social, cultural, and political barriers, CEPEHRG identifies a huge necessity for resources and capacity-building support. Endeavoring to organize around health and rights in a hostile environment without funds, materials and skills creates a situation ripe for burnout.
Comprehensive and systematic capacity-building programs on LGBT issues do not exist for CEPEHRG staff and other actors with interventions for MSM and more.
Funds from USAID and the Global Fund are channeled towards the mainstream groups thereby making it difficult for LGBT’s to receive such support to improve lives and fund initiatives. For security reasons, community visits by staff and volunteers are mostly done in the evenings and we have to walk back to the stations to board public transport or get a taxi.
The little that comes to us to fund our programs does not look holistically at our well-being as but only focuses on condoms and lubricants distribution while other important issues for our community such as human rights and other health services are left in the background. We are concerned by the impact these limitations have on the quality of services, check-ups and follow-ups because of the inadequacy of the very basic services being given to our community. We also need programs that will focus on movement building, entrepreneurial and skill building trainings, since these will give the community the opportunity to be competitive on the job market.
Our community hopes the future grants for HIV and human rights programs will focus more on the building of capacities of local LGBT organizations to enable them run well-planned and sustainable strategic interventions that will improve the lives of our people and community.
Building LGBT leadership talent has to become an ingrained part and a priority for not just organizations individually, but for the LGBT movement as a whole. CEPEHRG is therefore appealing to grant makers that are supporting LGBT organizations and the broader movement for equality, for funds and other resources to build the capacity of its staff and to carry out the interventions needed to expand our coverage and services to address the needs of the Ghanaian LGBT community.

text: We use a simple yet powerful higher-order conditional random field (CRF) to model optical flow. It consists of a standard photo-consistency cost and a prior on affine motions both modeled in terms of higher-order potential functions. Reasoning jointly over a large set of unknown variables provides more reliable motion estimates and a robust matching criterion. One of the main contributions is that unlike previous region-based methods, we omit the assumption of constant flow. Instead, we consider local affine warps whose likelihood energy can be computed exactly without approximations. This results in a tractable, so-called, higher-order likelihood function. We realize this idea by employing triangulation meshes which immensely reduce the complexity of the problem. Optimization is performed by hierarchical QPBO moves and an adaptive mesh refinement strategy. Experiments show that we achieve high-quality motion fields on several data sets including the Middlebury optical flow database.

New maps, modes and more are coming to Battlefield 1 in the games esports mode. A teaser revealing EA’s plans to develop an esports mode for the game first came out during a quarterly investor call on Thursday. The news was later confirmed by EA CEO Andrew Wilson.
The teaser prompted speculation among players that the mode would arrive in the upcoming In the Name of the Tsar DLC. The expansion was first announced at E3. The new Russian stage includes a total of 12 weapons so far. The latest of which, Brusilov Keep, was just implemented on the Community Test Environment yesterday.
EA halted those hopes during the Q&A session of the call, stating that the new esports mode is still in development and will not be included in the current expansion.
Although the update containing esports mode is not expected to arrive for Battlefield 1 so soon, Wilson says it will be featured during the upcoming Gamescom next month. Fans will get an early look at the mode, and other new content that is on the way for the game – details about that content were slim.
One of the few things that are known about Battlefield 1 esports mode is that it should make competitive play a lot easier for 64 users. EA mentioned that the creation of the mode started as a way to solve difficulties they faced playing competitive matches.
EA will host a live show at Gamescom on August 21, complete with a slew of announcements for Battlefield 1 and other EA games.

This is a great way to improve your balance using a very versatile piece of equipment - the balance board.
Place one foot on the balance board. Shift your weight so that most of your weight is on the foot on the balance board. Keep your knee slightly bent.
Engage your core and try to maintain perfect posture as you slowly pick up the foot that's still on the floor. Maintain your balance as you shift that foot to the front of your body. Repeat slowly 5-6 times, then switch legs.
