The evening saw Seth Rollins take on a WWE NXT superstar, while the women’s tag team titles were put on the line as the Kabuki Warriors took on Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, while the Bobby Lashley-Lana-Rusev saga continued.The evening saw Seth Rollins come out for an in-ring promo where he addressed Triple H’s words from last week but went on to say that even though NXT started the fight, he and other Raw members would end it. Rollins went on to an open challenge, which was immediately accepted by WWE UK Champion Walter. The match saw Imperium interfering to help out Walter and Rollins winning by disqualification. A beatdown ensued, but Rollins was saved by The Street Profits and Kevin Owens. This led to a tag team bout where Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, and The Street Profits defeated Imperium via pinfall.The evening also saw Lana saying that she was pregnant with Rusev’s child. This led to Rusev coming out amid the news that he is going to be a father and as he tried to make sense of the situation, a heated exchange followed and Lana repeatedly started slapping Rusev. Lashley was soon out and beat down Rusev in the ring. As Lashley and Lana retreated up the ramp, she revealed that it was all a ruse allowing Lashley to beat Rusev.Here’s what else happened on Monday Night Raw:Women’s Tag Team Championship match saw The Kabuki Warriors defeat Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair via pinfall to retain the titles, thanks to a distraction by NXT women’s champion Shayna Baszler. During the match, Baszler tried distracting Lynch, only to have SmackDown women’s champion Bayley emerge from the crowd and attempt to take out Baszler. The distraction allowed Asuka to roll Lynch up for the win. Following the match, Bayley attacked Lynch from behind.Drew McIntyre defeated Sin Cara via pinfall after the Claymore kick.24/7 Championship Samir Singh (c) and Sunil Singh versus R-Truth ended in a no contest.Andrade defeated Cedric Alexander via pinfall after the Hammerlock DDT.Aleister Black cut another pre-taped promo.Erick Rowan defeated Soner Dursun via pinfall after the Iron Claw Slam.The Viking Raiders defeated Flash Morgan Webster and Mark Andrews via pinfall after the Viking Experience to Andrews.The evening also saw Humberto Carrillo, Randy Orton and Ricochet defeat The OC via pinfall after Carrillo pinned Styles following a moonsault in what was Monday Night Raw’s main event. Prior to the match, it was revealed that Rollins will be joined at Survivor Series by Kevin Owens, Randy Orton, Ricochet and Drew McIntyre to take on Team SmackDown and Team NXT. 
Juventus won Serie A for the fifth season in a row without kicking a ball on Monday after Napoli, the only team that could have caught them, were sunk 1-0 by a late Radja Nainggolan goal at AS Roma.Juventus, who have led the table since beating Napoli 1-0 in February, were left with an unassailable 12-point lead with three games each left to play as they clinched a record 32nd league title.The match, played at a half-empty Stadio Olimpico on a sunny bank holiday afternoon, was an anti-climatic end to a season which had at one stage promised to be one of the most exciting Italian title races for years.During the first half of the season, the lead had changed almost weekly with AS Roma, Napoli, Inter Milan and Fiorentina all taking turns at the top.But, as their rivals faltered, Juventus, who beat Fiorentina 2-1 on Sunday, put together an astonishing run in which they took 73 of a possible 75 points to snare the title with games to spare.”I always say that you can only get better by going through difficult times,” Tweeted Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri, whose team recovered from a slow start which left them 11 points off the pace at the end of October.”I look at our journey and that makes me prouder.”His sentiments were echoed by veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who saved a penalty in the 2-1 win at Fiorentina on Sunday.”It’s a title of momentous importance, given that it’s the fifth in a row and follows an amazing turnaround,” said the 38-year-old, who has won seven Serie A titles since joining the club in 2001.advertisement”Certainly, at the beginning we were worried we would not do it, then at the end, with the strength of an amazing group and the backing of a responsible club, we pulled off this amazing achievement.”The clash of Serie A’s two highest-scoring sides was threatening to peter out into a tame goalless draw until Nainggolan slotted the ball home in the 89th minute following a move started with a delicate pass from Roma substitute Francesco Totti.The 39-year-old Roma stalwart, in his 24th season at the club and no longer able to command a place in the starting lineup, has made a recent habit of coming on in the last few minutes and having a major impact on games. Roma had more possession but Napoli, whose top-scorer Gonzalo Higuain returned after a three-match ban, carved out the better chances and Jose Callejon had a first-half goal ruled out by a hairline offside decision.Higuain, who has scored 30 goals this season, nearly gave Napoli a first-half lead with a delightful piece of control only to see his shot saved by Wojciech Szczesny. A Napoli goal looked imminent in the second half as Dries Mertens curled a shot agonisingly wide and Antonio Ruediger saved Roma by sliding in to take the ball off Marek Hamsik’s foot just before an almost certain score.Instead, Nainggolan slotted the ball past Pepe Reina after Mohamed Salah managed to find the Belgian despite being surrounded by Napoli defenders.Napoli, who would qualify directly for the Champions League group stage if they finish second, are now only two points clear of Roma, who are in third place, good for a berth in the final qualifying round.

The plaque on the wall of Court 18 at Wimbledon bears the legend The Longest Match. The 2010 encounter between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut that it commemorates, lasting 11 hours and 5 minutes and spread over three days, has passed into tennis folklore.But in an age of punditry in 140 characters when many sports are looking for ways to tap into a younger fanbase, the future of five-set Grand Slam tennis – where four-hour matches are relatively common – is coming up for debate.While there is no suggestion that the circuit’s four slams are about to scrap the traditional format, tennis authorities are already trying out new ideas.The board of governing body the International Tennis Federation wants to cut men’s singles matches in the Davis Cup team competition to best-of-three sets, and members will be asked to approve the change in August.November’s Next Gen ATP Finals in Milan, the season-ending tournament for the rising talent in the men’s game, will host best-of-five matches. But sets will be first to four games rather than the usual six, with tiebreaks at 3-3, and there will be a sudden-death point at deuce.”The sports and entertainment landscape is changing rapidly, as are the ways in which fans are consuming our sport,” ATP Executive Chairman Chris Kermode said in May, announcing the innovations.”This event is not only about the next generation of players, but also about the next generation of fans.”If the dozens of fans’ comments on the ATP men’s tour website were anything to go by, the plans were far from popular.advertisementThey ranged from “Worst. Decision. Ever” to “Totally insane. All designed for corporates … and TV advertising.”SOCIAL MEDIABroadcasters, for their part, stress their flexibility and commitment to showing entertaining matches, regardless of duration, in the knowledge that when they win rights to show tournaments, there are no end-times for the on-court tussles.”We’re of the opinion that if a match goes to five sets then it is already a very, very good match. The longer the match goes on then viewers will want to watch for longer themselves – which, as a broadcaster, is obviously a good result for us,” said Peter Hutton, CEO of Eurosport, which will broadcast Wimbledon across Europe.Indeed, while fans of individual players might hope for a straight sets demolition job, the showdowns that make up the oft-debated lists of best matches are the marathons, when momentum whipsaws and the rivalry can become gladiatorial.When Rafa Nadal stole Roger Federer’s Wimbledon crown in the fading light in 2008; when Bjorn Borg defeated John McEnroe in 1980; when wildcard Goran Ivanisevic beat Pat Rafter in a boisterous rain-delayed “People’s Monday” final in 2001 – on each occasion the crowd was treated to five rollercoaster sets.With key points and hotshots now increasingly being shown online in brief clips, the reach of social media may even enhance the popularity of such epics beyond tennis purists as hashtags and trends flash around the world.A blog by Twitter about the Australian Open in January – set alight by title-winning victories by Federer in five sets over Nadal and Serena Williams over sister Venus – said tweets from the official @AustralianOpen account were seen 190 million times and the videos it tweeted were viewed 9.5 million times.Whether any TV viewers stayed glued to every point of Isner’s 6-4 3-6 6-7(7) 7-6(3) 70-68 win over Mahut back in 2010 is doubtful. The final set alone lasted 8 hours 11 minutes.But it broke so many records that it has become part of the Wimbledon fabric – and these days the twittersphere would be abuzz with #longestmatch.
Australia spin great Shane Warne has rubbished reports that quoted him as saying Ricky Ponting shouldn’t be coaching Delhi Capitals in the upcoming season of Indian Premier League (IPL), starting March 23.Warne, according to a media report, had cited Conflict of Interest and said Ponting can’t be coaching an IPL team when head coach of the Indian cricket team, Ravi Shastri is not allowed to do so. However, in his clarification tweet, Warne said he had opined that it would be “silly” to not allow Ponting coach the Delhi Capitals in IPL 12.However, Warne said Ricky Ponting must be in a position to accept a decision from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) if they find a conflict of interest arising. Notably, Ponting, who had coached the Delhi Capitals in IPL 11, was recently appointed as the assistant to Australia head coach Justin Langer for the 2019 Cricket World Cup, starting May 30 in England and Wales.”Articles on me saying Punter should be banned from the IPL are simply not true – so stop the BS. When asked, I said it would be a silly move from the BCCI to not allow him to coach Delhi because he’s ass coach of Aust. But if thats the decision – then he would have to accept it ! (sic),” Warne wrote on Twitter on Friday.Notably, the BCCI has made it mandatory for support staff working with India and India A teams to not be part of IPL teams. Rahul Dravid was asked to step down as Delhi Daredevils coach in 2017 since it was deemed it would be in conflict of interest if he juggled between the India A and U-19 teams role and the IPL role.advertisementArticles on me saying Punter should be banned from the IPL are simply not true – so stop the BS. When asked, I said it would be a silly move from the BCCI to not allow him to coach Delhi because he’s ass coach of Aust. But if thats the decision – then he would have to accept it !Shane Warne (@ShaneWarne) February 15, 2019Meanwhile, Warne had also pointed out that it’s unfair to say Ponting will get first-hand information about India players during his coaching stint in the IPL, weeks ahead of the World Cup. The Rajasthan Royals brand ambassador pointed out that World Cup-bound players anyway rub shoulders with the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and other India stars.India will play Australia in a two-match T20I and five-match ODI series at home from February 24. The limited-overs series will be India’s last international assignment before the World Cup as the IPL 2019 kickstarts from March 23.Also Read | PSL 2019: AB de Villiers cameo in vain as Lahore Qalandars lose opener to Islamabad UnitedAlso Read | Rishabh Pant as opener with Rohit in World Cup?

Jones and his conditioning staff, clearly, have to take a lot of credit but, as the head coach points out, it is the players who have done the hardest yards. No one is yet proclaiming them the best side in the world but they are increasingly among the hardest to beat, arguably a more practically useful yardstick. There is also a clarity in terms of mindset for which English rugby has seldom been renowned, some feat considering 13 of the starting XV from two years ago are in the matchday 23 now. The faces are largely the same but, mentally, there has been a transformation. “They’ve probably learned more from themselves than me,” Jones says. “They’ve learned to develop a mindset to find a way to win Test rugby.”Out of this renewed sense of purpose has also emerged a collective desire to explore their physical limits which their Australian guru, for one, struggled to locate when he turned up. “They weren’t fit. They wanted to play a system of attack and a system of defence and I thought: ‘This is going to be hard work.’ I was massively surprised how quickly they changed. It is hard for good players to change and it is a great credit to them that they have been able to accept they needed to.“The basis of Test match rugby is physical condition. You’ve got to be fit enough to play. And when you win games, as we have consistently in the last 20 minutes, part of it is fitness and part of it is tactical nous. How many games have you seen the All Blacks win in the last 20 minutes? Plenty. And that’s because they practise it. We practise it now, too. We’ve got the base now to be able to do that.”Whether that will necessarily apply to Nathan Hughes, only just back from injury and unlikely to last the entire 80 minutes at No 8 in place of the injured Sam Simmonds, is possibly debatable. With Joe Marler also returning to the bench following suspension, however, England do not look a team ripe for slaughter – unless it is them about to do the slaughtering.Last year they stuck 61 points on Scotland at Twickenham and the captain, Dylan Hartley, believes they are ready for any eventuality. “I’ve got confidence in my team-mates that when the going gets tough we’ll come out the other side,” said the hooker, set to win his 92nd cap and replace Jonny Wilkinson as England’s second most-capped player. Share on Messenger Eddie Jones Since you’re here… Share via Email Read more England rugby union team Topics Reuse this content Six Nations Eddie Jones has a vivid recollection of the buildup to his first game as England coach against Scotland in Edinburgh. Two years on, before Saturday’s Calcutta Cup reunion, he has been replaying the video footage to his squad this week and says it still sends a shiver down his spine. “After the first training run I was thinking: ‘Goodness me, what have I got myself into here? After 20 minutes they were just shot. They couldn’t run any more.”Twenty-four wins in 25 Tests later and Jones, as might be imagined, is a good deal happier. Not totally satisfied, naturally, because he never is, but reassured that his squad have made sufficient percentage improvement inside two years to make any successful stock market analyst blink. “We’ve been looking at a bit of data and, conservatively, we’ve improved 40%. Conservatively. And we’ve still got another 20% to go.”All part of the sabre-rattling Calcutta Cup hype, perhaps? Or perhaps not. Ominously for Scotland this England team appear entirely convinced by their own gathering momentum, which is half the battle at this level. For that 2016 fixture they had only four training runs under Jones before the Murrayfield fixture in which they sneaked home 15-9. The difference in their self-belief now, regardless of where they are due to play, is almost tangible. Share on WhatsApp Those wondering exactly what kind of sporting team Jones would like to recreate, meanwhile, will be surprised by the answer. As a kid back in Sydney, Jones was an admirer of the West Ham side of the 1970s and can reel off the names just like that. “I used to love Billy Bonds, Trevor Brooking, Frank Lampard, all those guys. They had those big tough defenders and Brooking was the artist at the front. He always reminded me of Greg Chappell playing football, a bit of an artist, and I liked that claret-and-light-blue jersey.”An ideal Jones team, then, has to contain a bit of mongrel as well as its pedigree champs. For every Brooking-type creative figure in the current England rugby squad – “Anthony Watson is a bit like that. And Jonathan Joseph. They’re artists in their own way” – the relentless Jones wants someone snapping at opposition heels. “We’re developing a team that is robust, a team that is mentally tough and has a lot of leadership. That’s going to be the key growth area as we go forward. How can the players absorb tight situations, fight their way out of it and find a way to win?” Saturday, he hopes, will reinforce just how far England have already come. Finn Russell remains Scotland’s creative hub despite patchy form

And INSTACHAT, TOO!THOSE ALBERT HALL NIGHTS Facebook Share on Pinterest That was Episode 57 of the still popular Ben Arfa v Emery series, whose latest instalment aired on Thursday in northern France. In it, Emery took his new charges, all decked out in Arsenal kits, for a Big Vase date at the home of Ben Arfa’s new team, Rennes, with hilarious consequences. Arsenal did not disappoint when it came to delivering some of the old favourites – there was a red card, an own goal and the recurring jape in which Mesut Özil tries to drown out a midfield rock festival with a tender harp solo. But what really amused Ben Arfa during his team’s 3-1 win were the touchline histrionics of Emery, who, the player suggested, is an incorrigible fusser, give or take a letter. “My motivation was to play a solid match, to win and get ourselves into a good position to go through, that’s what was in my head,” tooted Ben Arfa like a solid professional before adding: “But I did see the same Emery, as agitated as ever. I looked over at him a few times and that made me laugh a little. He hasn’t changed.”Emery, meanwhile, had to come up with a reason for his side’s sorry performance. He had already said in the buildup that fatigue would not be an acceptable excuse, so what explanation could he give? Channel Klopp and denounce the wind? Admit his substitutions were flawed and Henrikh Mkhitaryan at right-back was a piece of ill-judged improv? In the end, he opted for something about the sending off of Sokratis being an unwelcome turning point. With the second leg still to come at the Emirates, it wasn’t exactly the right time to offer the most obvious explanation: that the Round of Arsenal has been downgraded from Big Cup to Big Vase.QUOTE OF THE DAY“We are all about artistry and unity on the pitch, and supporting each other off the pitch. To play with the likes of Sylvia Plath and Millicent Fawcett on the team’s shirts, gives us that extra piece of inspiration and motivation, and makes us even prouder to represent Camden” – Camden Town Ladies’ manager Pranay Dhanani on the Bodil Jane-designed shirt they will wear – said to be the first football shirt/piece of art ever made – in the Greater London Women’s Football League to celebrate notable Camdenites on International Women’s Day.

OTTAWA — A national Inuit organization says it is disappointed in the Liberals’ new legislation meant to protect Indigenous languages.The Liberals tabled the bill Tuesday, two years after promising a law to promote Indigenous languages, which Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez says are on the verge of disappearing without mechanisms for revitalizing them.The bill pledges long-term funding for Indigenous languages, and to create a federal commissioner of Indigenous languages.While the Assembly of First Nations and Metis National Council are calling the bill a landmark piece of legislation, the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami is calling the bill a symbolic gesture from a “colonial system.”Natan Obed, ITK president, says the Liberals’ legislation lacks any Inuit-specific content and doesn’t address Inuit rights to speak their traditional language, or help revive and promote its use.The Indigenous Languages Act will now work its way through the legislative process with the goal of turning it into law before the House of Commons rises in June and an election campaign takes over federal politics.The Canadian Press
FREDERICTON – The premier of New Brunswick says his government will spend more on child care, education and health care in 2018 in the lead-up to a provincial election next fall.In a year-end interview with The Canadian Press, Brian Gallant said the governing Liberals will make “significant investments” to increase the number of child-care spaces available.“You are going to see some investments to improve the quality of child care in this province, and you are going to see investments to really help families who are struggling to pay for child care,” he said.In many cases, he said, some parents feel they can’t return to the workforce because they can’t find or afford child care, and that needs to be addressed, he said.Gallant’s government is in the final year of its mandate, with voters set to go to the polls on Sept. 24, 2018.He said it’s too early to reveal the theme of his party’s campaign, but it will highlight the differences between the Liberals and the Opposition Progressive Conservatives under leader Blaine Higgs.“I look forward to the opportunity to talk about the differences between our growth agenda and what we believe is an austerity agenda when it comes to Blaine Higgs and the Conservatives,” he said.The legislature is now on its Christmas break. It will resume sitting Jan. 30, when the Liberals are expected to table a budget that will stick to their multi-year spending plan.“We won’t get away from our plan at this point,” he said. “We certainly believe that we still have to strike the right balance between reducing the deficit and investing in things that will help create economic opportunities.”Finance Minister Cathy Rogers has said the government plans to achieve fiscal balance by 2020-21.Gallant said the deficit has been reduced by 67 per cent over the last three years, and to eliminate it sooner would take away from funding being used to help grow the economy.New Brunswick had an unemployment rate of 7.9 per cent in November, well above the national average at 5.9 per cent. Gallant said that’s why his government is spending more than ever on education.“We believe it is the best investment we can possibly make to grow the economy,” Gallant said.He said the government will also work to keep seniors in their homes longer.For the last year, Gallant has been trying to get the federal government to agree to a New Brunswick-based pilot program to promote healthy-living among seniors.“If we are able to figure out some of the challenges of an aging population here in the province before it scales up to the rest of the country, we think that’s really to the benefit of the whole nation,” the premier said.Meanwhile, with recreational cannabis to be legalized across Canada in July, New Brunswick was one of the first provinces to attract cannabis producers and secure a supply for government-run retail stores.Gallant said the retail operations will support education and enforcement requirements, while the province will gain financially as the producers invest in large buildings and maintain their workforce.The government plans to start with 20 retail stores in 15 locations under the name CannabisNB.
Citing sources familiar with the companies’ plans, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that Google has teamed up with Mastercard and Citigroup to create a near-field communication mobile payment system (or NFC) on Android smartphones.We’ve discussed NFC before, as it’s clearly the next big breakthrough in smartphone technologies. NFC allows your smartphone to communicate with kiosks, terminals and other devices through a well encrypted channel just by being put in close proximity to an NFC reader. NFC technology is already prevalent in Japan, where NFC-equipped smartphones are used for things like subway turnstile. Soon, it will hit America, and when it does, it will most likely be used primarily for mobile payments, at least as first.Google’s deal will help cement NFC mobile payments as a landmark feature on Android phones. Here’s how it would work: owners of Citigroup-issued debit and credit cards would download and activate a special Android app, which would allow Android smartphone owners to pay for goods by just waving their phone in front of an NFC reader.What’s Google’s part in this? They would offer retailers willing to install NFC readers in their stores real-world data about their customers, helping them deliver targeted adds and Groupon-style discounted offers to all the Android users physically near their stores. Verifone is also reportedly involved in this deal. According to the Grey Lady, Verifone’s role would be to deliver NFC readers to retailers around the country.If these reports are true, Google, Citigroup and Mastercard hope to go live with their NFC payment system by the end of the year. If so, it’s likely they’ll beat Apple to the draw on NFC: it has been heavily rumored that Apple will not release an NFC-equipped iPhone until 2012.Read more at Wall Street Journal
The highest capacity optical disc on the consumer market today is Blu-ray. In standard form it can hold 25GB of data or 50GB if dual layer. There’s also been the recent roll out of the BDXL format, which increases that capacity to 128GB. But such levels of storage are fast becoming too small, and both Sony and Panasonic have realized this and decided to do something about it.The two companies are teaming up to create the successor to the Blu-ray disc. Their plan being to have the finished, higher capacity optical disc ready for use before the end of 2015. As for how big that new disc will be, the target is to hit a minimum of 300GB capacity.Even though we seem to be moving towards streaming content more than purchasing it on disc, there’s still a need for optical media in order to archive data. Sony points to general data archiving, video production, broadcasting operations, and even cloud data centers as requiring high capacity optical media. Discs are also cheap to produce and remain viable for a very long time.Movies are slowly going to start making the transition to 4K as the TVs become more commonplace and affordable. It seems likely 4K movies on optical discs would be desirable. For example, the first 4K movie you could download is 120GB. Add in extras and multiple versions (theatrical and extended cuts) and you can see why distributing on a 300GB disc may become desirable in a few years.What technology this new optical disc will use is unknown, but Sony has pointed to their own 1.5TB XDCAM format (12 25GB capacity discs in a cartridge) and Panasonic’s 180TB LB-BM9 format (up to 90 magazines each holding 12 100GB discs in a cartridge) alongside RAID technology as key examples of how they are already pushing up capacities. Cartridges and multi-disc formats are unacceptable as a Blu-ray successor, but 300GB is the target, not terabytes.
Landsat Images Show Greenland Glaciers Changing Over 46 YearsClimate Activists Use Drones to Shut Down Heathrow Airport Next Month Stay on target It’s a “plastic” revolution: A boat made entirely from recycled plastic — and 30,000 flip-flops — will set sail next week on an expedition across the Indian Ocean to to raise awareness of the destructive nature of single-use plastics.The Flipflopi, a 30-foot sailing boat, will set out on Jan. 24 from the Kenyan island of Lamu and sail around 310 miles to Stone Town in Zanzibar for its first overseas expedition.Made from more than 10 tons of recycled plastic, the Flipflopi will stop at towns and cities along the route, including Watamu, Kilifi, Mombasa, Diani and Pemba island, to teach local communities how to recycle their own plastics.The entire boat was constructed by from waste plastics, mainly collected from Lamu’s beaches, and built by local craftsmen, led by chief builder Ali Skanda.The keel, ribs and structural elements are all made from recycled plastic including bottles and bags, according to the website for the Flipflopi Expedition. The hull and decking are covered completely by 30,000 re-purposed flip-flops.The main aim is to build on the story of this plastic revolution and to continue to highlight to the world that single-use plastic items are dreadful,” Kenyan project leader Dipesh Pabari told UN Environment. “It’s an opportunity to engage and influence emerging consumer populations in the Indian Ocean region before single-use plastics and a throwaway culture become fully embedded, and to avoid what has happened in developed countries where they are now trying to reverse engineer consumption habits.”Waste plastics, including bottles, bags, and flip-flops, mainly from Lamu’s beaches, were used to construct the entire boat.(Photo Credit: Flipflopi/Facebook)The expedition is backed by UN Environment’s Clean Seas campaign, which works to urge governments, businesses, and citizens to eliminate single-use plastics.One of the most important features of the Flipflopi expedition is its African roots. The boat was built on Lamu, the oldest Swahili settlement in East Africa, from planks made locally from recycled plastic, which started out as rubbish along beaches and roads in Lamu, Nairobi, Malindi, and Mombasa. The 30,000 recycled flip flops used for the hull and decking were also produced locally.The boat first launched on September 2018 and has previously only sailed on coastal waters. The Lamu-Zanzibar voyage will be its overseas expedition, and is expected to take between 12 and 14 days. In 2021, the Flipflopi plans to sail on a 3- to 4-month voyage south along the coasts of Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, and onwards into South Africa.The expedition is encouraging people to recycle plastic waste and spread the word through the hashtag #PlasticRevolution.Plastic pollution has had severe impacts on the environment and on public health. A staggering 8 million tons of plastic end up in the world’s oceans every year, according to the UN. Rivers carry plastic waste from deep inland to the sea, making them major contributors to ocean pollution.Many plastic particles are swallowed by farm animals or fish who mistake them for food, and thus can find their way onto our dinner plates, the UN said. They’ve also been found in a majority of the world’s tap water. By clogging sewers and providing breeding grounds for mosquitoes and pests, plastic waste — especially plastic bags — can increase the transmission of vector-borne diseases like malaria.The Flipflopi expedition is parts of Kenya’s recent efforts to become a global pioneer in tackling plastic pollution. In August 2017, the country introduced the world’s toughest ban on plastic bags with anyone producing, selling, or using a plastic bag risking imprisonment of up to four years or fines of $40,000.More on Geek.com:Texas Coast Has More Ocean Trash Than Any Gulf State, Study SaysAll the Sea Turtles in This Study Had Microplastics in Their GutsBanning Plastics Could Further Damage Earth, Researchers Say
Share – / 5If you think connectivity and green space are paramount elements of the 21st century work and life philosophy, you probably will like the design of the Texas Medical Center’s upcoming new campus, also known as the TMC3.The TMC3’s founding institutions are: Texas Medical Center, Baylor College of Medicine, Texas A&M University Health Science Center, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.The project was announced last April at an event with Texas Governor Greg Abbott, then Harris County Judge Ed Emmett and Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, as well as executives from the five founding institutions.The TMC3 will aim to become a world-leading hub for biomedical research, biotechnology and bioscience. The five institutions announced the master plan this week. The three companies that will make the project a reality are the architecture firm Elkus Manfredi, development company Transwestern, and the Vaughn construction firm.A study forecasts the TMC3’s potential impact on Houston’s economy and workforce will drive $5.2 billion into the local economy and create nearly 30,000 jobs, according to the Texas Medical Center.The main, shared building at the center of the campus will be known as the TMC3 Collaborative. With a budget of $250 million, the upper floors will house shared institutional research space and industry partner facilities. The downstairs atrium will host lectures and other events.The campus will cover 37 acres south of the Texas Medical Center, which is located southwest of downtown Houston.Video Playerhttps://cdn.hpm.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/03123328/William-McKeon-audiogram-1.mp400:0000:0000:20Use Up/Down Arrow keys to increase or decrease volume.One of the TMC3’s main features will be a DNA chain-shaped promenade with green spaces that will be connected through a street grid. The design allows access for drivers and pedestrians, including visitors. David Manfredi, CEO of Elkus Manfredi Architects, said the design will accomplish two important goals. First, the DNA-shaped strand will be an instantly recognizable and iconic image associated with the Texas Medical Center. In addition, the green spaces could be used for different purposes such as music and art performances, as well as hosting sports like volleyball or basketball.One of the main ideas behind the TMC3 is to combine individual research by its founding institutions and collaboration between them. The new campus will have individual lab buildings and mixed-use space on the ground floor.There will also be leasing, retail and residential space, along with a hotel and conference center, and underground parking.“We want the researchers, we want the industry people and we want the students. This is the place to make those connections,” said Manfredi.Video Playerhttps://cdn.hpm.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/03123354/William-McKeon-audiogram-2.mp400:0000:0000:21Use Up/Down Arrow keys to increase or decrease volume.Texas Medical Center CEO and President William McKeon has been involved in the project since the beginning and is convinced the dynamic design is crucial to attract top professionals. “Researchers and clinicians today are not looking to be in tall buildings filled with labs. They want to be in an environment that really embraces this “Live, Work, Play” environment,” he told News 88.7.McKeon said the collaboration mindset will also help to get federal funding because the National Institutes of Health now tends to reward multi-institution research with larger grants.Ground breaking for the TMC3 is tentatively scheduled for the first quarter of 2020 with a projected completion in 2022.
If you are one of the many Xbox 360 owners that has yet to find a compelling reason to upgrade to the Xbox One, there’s a good chance the next time you power on your console you will see Microsoft try to sweeten the deal a little.Microsoft has been targeting console upgrades for a little while now, but the company has focused on PS3 owners. While Microsoft isn’t willing to buy back the Xbox 360 they sold you, there’s a $75 account credit in it if you agree to upgrade to the Xbox One.The screenshot above showed up on an Xbox 360 recently along with an offer explaining that if you order an Xbox One at full price from any retailer before July 31, your account will receive this little thank you gift. It’s not clear how many Xbox 360 owners Microsoft has included in their list of “very best customers” but you can find out if you are part of that group fairly easily.All you need to do is power on your 360 and make sure it is connected to the Internet and logged in to Xbox Live. The offer should appear, as long as you are in the US, and you’ll be able to make your decision from there.The Xbox One has improved quite a bit since it was first launched, but you can’t play your Xbox 360 games on it you’d so need to keep both consoles connected if you are still enjoying last-gen titles. This doesn’t usually work out for most people, but Microsoft is hoping that by offering you a credit to apply to a new next gen game or two, you’ll have the motivation/excuse you need to embrace the new machine.
