Darren Collison won't return to NBA despite interest Clippers, Lakers were reportedly among teams seeking services of veteran guard Despite interest from several contenders, retired guard Darren Collison will not return to the NBA this season, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Collison, a 32-year-old guard who had retired in June after a 10-year career, had drawn interest from the Lakers and Clippers. In an interview in June, Collison cited his religion as a reason for his retirement. "While I still love basketball, I know there is something more important, which is my family and my faith," Collison said. "I am one of the Jehovah's Witnesses and my faith means everything to me. "I receive so much joy from volunteering to help others and participate in a worldwide ministry. The joy I feel is unmatched." Collison averaged 12.5 points and 5.0 assists in his 10-year career, with stints with the Pacers, Clippers, New Orleans Hornets, Kings and Mavericks. https://www.nba.com/article/2020/02/09/report-darren-collison-nixes-nba-return

More people have died from the Wuhan coronavirus than the 2003 SARS epidemic The death toll from the novel coronavirus has surpassed that of the 2003 SARS epidemic. Fatalities from the Wuhan virus climbed past 800 today (Feb. 9), officially topping the 774 deaths attributed to SARS, as millions of people in China prepare to get back to work after an extended Lunar New Year holiday. The overwhelming majority of those deaths, 780, have occurred in China’s Hubei province—home to the city of Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak—and all but two have been in mainland China. The first known death from the coronavirus outside of China was a 44-year-old Chinese man from Wuhan who died in the Philippines and was thought to have had other preexisting health conditions. A 39-year-old man with an underlying health condition also died in Hong Kong. A 60-year-old American woman who died at Jinyintan Hospital in Wuhan on Feb. 6 was the first confirmed non-Chinese death from the illness, the US Embassy said. A Japanese national in Wuhan, a man in his 60s, is also thought to have died from the coronavirus, though the local hospital he was taken to on Jan. 22 couldn’t confirm the cause of death. The number of people infected with the Wuhan virus globally surpassed that of SARS (8,098) last month. More than 37,000 people worldwide are now thought to have been infected, most of them in mainland China. It’s still too soon to say how deadly the virus is.

La decisión final de Darren Collison está cada vez más próxima. Según informa Adrian Wojnarowski, de ESPN, el ex de los Indiana Pacers ha fijado una reunión con su agente, Bill Duffy, en la que determinará de forma definitiva si busca regresar o no a la NBA. Esta tendrá lugar a principios de la semana que viene, y en caso de que la decisión sea positiva comenzaría la ronda de reuniones con Lakers y Clippers. Collison anunció su retirada el pasado verano, una noticia que sorprendió a propios y extraños debido a que su edad (31 años por aquel entonces, 32 ahora) y su juego no invitaban a pensar en un adiós al baloncesto. En su última temporada, Darren promedió 11,2 puntos y 6 asistencias, y cuando parecía que podía ser un hombre muy codiciado como base suplente comunicó que abandonaba la competición para centrarse en realizar acciones solidarias con los Testigos de Jehová. El propio Collison ha disparado recientemente los rumores con su presencia en el Staples el pasado jueves, pues se le pudo ver junto a Jeanie Buss, propietaria de los Lakers, viendo el duelo que enfrentó a los angelinos y a los Rockets. Cuando se le preguntó si esto tenía alguna relación con su futuro, optó por eludir cualquier referencia a ello: “Simplemente he venido a ver el partido. He conseguido los mejores asientos de todo el estadio” afirmó.

Now that I read again it seems that it had nothing to do with that 🤭 Do left and right brain dominant mean anything? Why viral shoe illusion theories don't really work The message read: “if ur right brain is dominant, u will see combination of pink and white color,and if ur left brain is dominant, u will see it in grey and green color. Try with ur loved ones, very interesting.” (sic) As engrossing as this theory is, it's completely false. In fact, the idea that one is either left brained (more logical) or right brained (more creative) is untrue. Carl Zimmer explained to VeryWell magazine: "The pop psychology notion of a left brain and a right brain doesn’t capture their intimate working relationship. "The left hemisphere specialises in picking out the sounds that form words and working out the syntax of the phrase, for example, but it does not have a monopoly on language processing. "The right hemisphere is more sensitive to the emotional features of language, tuning in to the slow rhythms of speech that carry intonation and stress." Why do I see one colour and not another? So why do some people see pink sneakers and others see grey? Speaking in the frenzied aftermath of "the dress" debate, neuroscientist Bevil Conway attempted to explain why the dress was being perceived so differently. Speaking to Wired, he said: "Your visual system is looking at this thing, and you're trying to discount the chromatic bias of the daylight axis... people either discount the blue side, in which case they end up seeing white and gold, or discount the gold side, in which case they end up with blue and black." Liverpool University's Paul Knox, meanwhile, explained that the colour difference could be due to the lighting qualities of the device being used to view the picture. "What meets the eye is light at given wavelengths that then stimulates several distinct pathways that process these different wavelengths," he explained in a 2015 journal. "That’s what the brain interprets as colour but its complicated by things like the device you may be viewing the photograph on, the lighting in which you’re viewing the photograph and what’s going on inside your head; your own expectations. https://inews.co.uk/news/science/left-right-brain-dominant-what-mean-side-meaning-test-shoe-colour-illusion-815225

A soldier has killed 21 people and injured dozens more in a gun rampage in the Thai city of Nakhon Ratchasima.

Perharps it's only here in this Little Country 😃

Looks great, here I don't buy from Little Cesars because when I asked for that one which has all the ingredients including grounded meat, I noticed it contained soja, I'm fine with soja but they should tell customers that they mix beef with soja I guess to reduce costs, not telling customers is like a estafa in my humble opinion

I remember one of my bosses showing me this and I said that it looked like aqua and grey and he told me it had to do with a part of my brain activity in charge of math or something like that... I don't remember, do you know what does mean?

Russia adds 200 Jehovah's Witnesses to 'extremism,' 'terrorism' list Hundreds of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia have been added to a list of "Persons Involved in Extremism or Terrorism," according to the organization. The latest crackdown on the religious group blacklists believers from the country's financial system. Jehovah's Witnesses were officially banned in 2017, and the Kremlin continues to use extremism laws to crack down on opposition activists and religious minorities. "Clearly, Russia has effectively reinstated its darkest period of history by relentlessly persecuting Jehovah’s Witnesses, as did its intolerant Soviet predecessors,” Jarrod Lopes, a spokesman for the Jehovah's Witnesses world headquarters in the United States, told The Associated Press. https://www.foxnews.com/world/russia-jehovah-witness-terrorism-list

Russian authorities have added more than 200 Jehovah’s Witnesses to a register of extremists and terrorists, the organisation said. The latest move in a crackdown on the religious group effectively cuts them off from the country’s financial system, as being on the list leads to bank accounts being frozen and severe restrictions on any financial transactions. Russia officially banned Jehovah’s Witnesses in 2017 and declared the group an extremist organisation. The Kremlin has actively used vaguely worded extremism laws to crack down on opposition activists and religious minorities. Since then, hundreds of members have been subjected to raids, arrests and prosecution. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/russia-jehovah-witness-putin-russian-orthodox-a9323351.html

Global shipping has been hit by the coronavirus. Now goods are getting stranded Shipping companies that carry goods from China to the rest of the world say they are reducing the number of seaborne vessels, as measures to stop the spread of the coronavirus crimp demand for their services and threaten to disrupt global supply chains. About 80% of world goods trade by volume is carried by sea and China is home to seven of the world's 10 busiest container ports, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. Nearby Singapore and South Korea each have a mega port too. A closure of the world's manufacturing hub impacts container shipping at large, as it is a vital facilitator of the intra-Asian and global supply chains," said Peter Sand, chief shipping analyst at BIMCO, an international shipping association. "This will affect many industries and limit demand for containerized goods transport," Sand told CNN Business. Everything from cars and machinery to apparel and other consumer staples are shipped in containers, and disruption to the industry could reverberate far beyond China as the country seeks to contain the coronavirus outbreak by keeping factories shut and workers at home.

A pregnant mother infected with the coronavirus gave birth, and her baby tested positive 30 hours later A 30-hour-old infant born in a children's hospital in Wuhan, China, has become the youngest person to catch the new coronavirus. The newborn's mother has the coronavirus, the South China Morning Post reported on Wednesday, citing the state broadcaster CCTV. The baby's case raised the possibility that the new virus could jump from person to person via vertical transmission, or when a person passes a virus to their child in the womb, during childbirth, or via breast milk. "We should be concerned about the possible new transmission route of the coronavirus," Zeng Lingkong, a senior physician at the Wuhan children's hospital's neonatal department, told the Post, adding that pregnant people should stay away from people with the coronavirus. CCTV said the infant's vital signs were stable, according to the Post. A picture published by China's People's Daily newspaper showed the infant in an incubator. https://www.businessinsider.com/wuhan-coronavirus-in-infant-born-from-infected-mother-2020-2

The organization allegedly directed elders in all of its United States congregations to send detailed reports on members facing an allegation of sexually abusing a child to its headquarters. Since the late 1990s blue envelopes from Jehovah’s Witness congregations across the country have been sent to the organization’s headquarters. But, it’s the information inside those envelopes that contain damaging secrets. The blue envelopes contained detailed reports of members within the religion accused of child molestation. Officials scanned those documents into a database of files for each congregation, according to a sworn deposition by an official with The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society obtained by Reveal, the website for the Center for Investigative Reporting. But the specific details within that database have largely remained a secret—despite court orders and calls from the public to release its contents, leading some to accuse the organization of concealing suspected child abusers. The child abuse files were collected after the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society—the organization that oversees the Jehovah’s Witnesses—sent a request in March 1997 to all of its United States congregations requesting that each congregation write a detailed report about anyone within the religion who had been accused of child molestation and send it to the headquarters in the special blue envelope, according to The Atlantic Full article: https://www.oxygen.com/the-witnesses/crime-news/jehovahs-witnesses-keep-secret-database-of-potential-sexual-predators

Que triste esa noticia.... por otro lado tengo la duda de que cuando dicen "clandestino" ¿se refieren a "ilegal"?

Juan Pablo Martínez Vazquez es el nombre de la víctima de este negocio clandestino, quien era habitante de la misma localidad Este lunes 3 de febrero falleció el despachador del establecimiento que comerciaba gasolina de forma clandestina en Lamadrid, Coahuila, esto luego que desde el sábado cuando se registró un fuerte incendio en el sitio, luchará por su vida con apoyo de especialistas de una clínica de Monterrey, Nuevo León. Juan Pablo Martínez Vazquez es el nombre de la víctima de este negocio clandestino, quien era habitante de la misma localidad. La mañana de este lunes, el alcalde Andres Vazquez Garza quien dio a conocer que esta venta clandestina se viene dando de forma natural en su municipio desde hace más de 40 años, publicó lo siguiente en su perfil de Facebook: “Mis más sentidas condolencias para la familia Martínez García en Lamadrid, Coahuila, por el sensible fallecimiento del señor Juan Pablo Martínez Vázquez, quien en vida fue siempre una persona de familia, responsable y trabajadora, además miembro de la congregación de los Testigos de Jehová en este municipio. Fue apreciado por sus familiares, por la comunidad en general, sus vecinos y amigos.

Dumbo Heights is going to pot. Cannabis marketing compliance technology platform Fyllo, which ensures advertising conforms to government regulations, has moved to its own space in Brooklyn’s Dumbo Heights. Chicago-based Fyllo had 10 employees in a co-working space at 55 Broad’s Bond Collective and will hire another 10 now that it’s in the new Brooklyn office. The 2,800-square-foot space is a penthouse carved out of a portion of the 12th floor at 77 Sands St. in Dumbo Heights. It includes private roof space. The building is one of several that belonged to the Jehovah’s Witnesses and were sold and renovated to attract tech companies. Fyllo was represented by Joseph R. Cybulski of CBRE. The ownership group of RFR, Kushner and LIVWRK is represented by Newmark Knight Frank and rents are in the $60-per-square-foot range. Founded by Chad Bronstein in March, Fyllo has already been showered with $18 million in venture capital funds. https://nypost.com/2020/02/04/cannabis-marketing-company-fyllo-moves-to-dumbo-heights/

Two Jehovah’s Witnesses have been convicted of extremism in Russia’s Far East, the group said Tuesday amid what activists say is an escalating crackdown on the religious group. The ruling to hand the two worshippers in the Khabarovsk region a two-year suspended sentence comes after Russia’s Supreme Court declared the Jehovah’s Witnesses an “extremist” organization in 2017. A court found Jehovah’s Witnesses Nikolai Polevodov and Stanislav Kim guilty of membership in an extremist organization, the Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia group said. Polevodov and Kim are also among six fellow believers currently awaiting a verdict on charges of organizing an extremist organization. They were detained during a raid on what the Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia called a non-religious gathering at a cafe in 2018. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2020/02/05/russia-sentences-2-extremist-jehovahs-witnesses-a69172

Fifty Russian citizens have been awarded compensation totaling more than 1 million euros ($1.1 million) for police brutality and illegal searches, according to four European human rights court rulings issued Tuesday. Russia paid more than 600 million rubles ($9.5 million) to its citizens in compliance with European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) rulings in 2019, officials said. Russia’s payouts over 20 years, they said, totaled 200 million euros. Three of the latest ECHR rulings award 29 Russian citizens 835,000 euros on claims of torture through electric shocks, needles in nails and beatings with truncheons, according to a tally by the MBKh News website. In its fourth ruling, the ECHR awarded 21 Russian lawyers 180,000 euros on claims of unlawful searches. Russian law enforcement has been rocked by several torture scandals in recent years, with reported victims including LGBT people in Chechnya, Jehovah's Witnesses and prisoners. President Vladimir Putin in 2015 allowed the Russian Constitutional Court to overrule decisions issued by the Strasbourg-based judiciary. Putin’s recent constitutional shake-up includes a proposal for Russian law to take precedence over international rulings, a clause that experts viewed as targeting the ECHR. The share of Russian cases in Europe’s top human rights court reached a seven-year high in 2019, according to its recently released annual report. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2020/02/05/russia-ordered-to-pay-1m-to-police-brutality-victims-a69173
