In February 2017, the Iranian Chess Federation announced two teenage chess players, Dorsa Derakhshani and her younger brother Borna Derakhshani, were banned from representing the national team. The federation announced their decision although Dorsa Derakhshani had previously decided and informed the chess federation she did not wish to play for Iran.

Dorsa Derakhshani is currently 21 years old and holds the International Master (IM) as well as Woman Grand Master (WGM) titles. Her brother, Borna, plays for the English Federation and holds the FIDE Master title.

Dorsa Derakhshani was banned since she did not wear a hijab, an Islamic headscarf, while competing at the Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival in January 2017. Under the laws of Islamic Republic of Iran, hijab is a mandatory dress code. Her brother Borna Deraskhsani was banned for playing against Israeli Grand Master (GM) Alexander Huzman at the same tournament. Iran does not recognise the existence of Israel, and previously, Irani athletes have avoided playing against Israeli athletes.

Mehrdad Pahlavanzadeh, the president of the country’s chess federation, explained the decision to ban the players saying, “As a first step, these two will be denied entry to all tournaments taking place in Iran and in the name of Iran, they will no longer be allowed the opportunity to be present on the national team.” ((fa))Farsi language: ?????? ????? ?? ??? ??? ?? ??? ????? ?? ?? ???? ???????? ?? ?? ????? ? ?? ??? ????? ?????? ??????? ????? ??????? ? ???? ???? ???? ?? ??? ??? ?? ??????? ????. He further stated, “Unfortunately, something that should not have happened has happened and our national interest is paramount and we have reported this position to the Ministry of Sports.” ((fa))Farsi language: ????????? ?????? ?? ????? ????????? ?????? ??? ? ????? ??? ?? ?? ?? ???? ?????? ???? ? ?? ??? ???? ?? ?? ????? ???? ?? ????? ?????.

IM Dorsa Derakhshani, who currently studies at Saint Louis University in the United States and plays for the United States Chess Federation, discussed her chess career, time in Iran and the 2017 controversy, and her life in Saint Louis with a Wikinews correspondent.

Information On Leadership Coaching

Author: Admin

3 Dec

Submitted by: Nicholas Jarder

It can be said that there are six principles for excellent leadership coaching. One should know what these are so that he would also know how to cultivate the traits in order to become a success when dealing with various people in the coaching process. The 6 principles are as follows:

Principle #1: Be A Good Listener

When a leader isolates oneself from the things going on around him, they would in turn also be shutting themselves off from important information that is essential for them to know what is happening in their business organization. More than what is being said, great leadership coaching also requires listening to what is not being said. What is the state of mind and mood for instance of the employees? By knowing this, a leader could then take corrective action swiftly to avoid undermining the business operations.

Principle #2: Trust Thyself

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C1P1AlKvkE[/youtube]

Employees can readily sense a boss who is filled with self-doubt and this will consequently decrease their level of confidence in you and in what you do. This self-doubt could even contaminate the mindset of the employees thereby causing them to lose focus. On the other hand, having self confidence will inspire employee commitment and optimism which will be good as you build up your business organization.

Principle #3: Empowering People

Some bosses have the feeling that everything must be done by him. However, the result of this is that oftentimes it would just overwhelm him. It also undermines the other human resources found in the organization. A truly great leadership coach would know how to empower other individuals so that they turn into high performance individuals and consequently high performance teams. This leadership coach has confidence in the other players in the organization so that they become empowered to unleash their true potential

Principle #4: Resilience

Resilience means not getting the negativity that is happening around get the better of you. Great leadership coaching requires the blocking of the different problem and stresses that comes your way. It means having the fortitude and the inner strength to withstand current troubles. It means not breaking down because of pressure. As a leader, one should be able to lead the team amidst good times and bad without breaking down emotionally when the going gets tough.

Principle #5: Decisiveness

A good leadership coach must make decisions even if it could be a difficult and emotional one. He should be able to weigh the consequences of making a decision versus just letting the status quo rule. By doing so, he would be able to change lives of others for the better because he could steer the life of a person to where it should be regardless of the emotional consequences initially.

Principle #6: Taking Responsibility

A leader realizes that a significant responsibility rests on his shoulder to breathe life on the organization and one way to do this is through leadership coaching. A leader should realize the vital roles and responsibilities of each employees and internalize his responsibility in ensuring that everybody works towards a common goal.

The 6 principles of leadership coaching can only thus be embodied by a leader who has been able to develop themselves emotionally first. To be able to do the 6 principles, the leader himself must be whole.

Does Anybody Want Cheap Cabinets?

Author: Admin

2 Dec

byAlma Abell

Many people automatically associate the word “cheap” with another word and that word is “nasty”. This gives rise to a reluctance to get involved with anything “cheap”. For example, if we see an advertisement telling us to buy Cheap Cabinets for our home we will automatically ignore it. We get a mental picture of shoddily made cabinets using very low cost, inferior, raw materials that have been badly put together; in other words, something that might be put in a cheap motel room but never in your own home!

If Cheap Is Nasty; What Is Economical?

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuxy2RVl9Qo[/youtube]

If that same advertisement had been for economically priced cabinets; then, we would have read on with interest in the expectation of getting a bargain and saving ourselves some money. Other ways of implying a, lower than you expect price, include phrases like: “cost saving”; “discounted prices”; even “bargain prices”. Such phrases can lead you to believe that you are being offered a good quality product at an advantageous price and, assuming that it is a product that you currently have a use for, you will investigate further and, possibly, purchase it.

How Do Cheap Cabinets Vary From Economical Ones?

Although the possibility exists that they may not vary in price, Cheap Cabinets are unlikely to be made from genuine, natural (as sawn) wood. They are more likely to be covered with a cheap, self-adhesive plastic layer that has been colored to pretend to be a wood veneer surface and things like door hinges and shelf brackets will probably be of inferior quality. Additionally, the supplier might not provide any sort of warranty on your purchase.

If we are looking at cheap RTA (Ready To Assemble) cabinet kits, we are likely to face that most frustrating of DIY problems when an instruction manual does not match up fully with the contents of the kit. For example: – “Place part 1 into hole 2”; you have found part 1 but there is no sign of any hole 2 whatsoever!

If the economically priced alternative is manufactured by a reputable company and purchased from an equally reputable dealer – either online or from a warehouse or store – then you should not encounter the sort of problems that you could get from purchasing cheap cabinets.

Pope speaks with astronauts in orbit for first time

Pope Benedict XVI spoke with astronauts aboard the International Space Station yesterday, marking the first time a pope has conversed with astronauts in orbit.

Organized by the European Space Agency (ESA), the call originated from the Vatican Library at 7:11 am Eastern time. German ESA astronaut Thomas Reiter, president of the Italian Space Agency Enrico Saggese, and General Giuseppe Bernardis of the Italian Air Force were also in the room at the Vatican. Aboard the spacecraft were Italian, U.S., and Russian crew members of the Endeavour STS-134 mission and Expedition 27.

Endeavour commander and U.S. astronaut Mark Kelly greeted His Holiness aboard the spacecraft. The Pope wished Kelly’s wife, Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, well as she recovers from an assassination attempt that took place in January. Doctors inserted a hard plastic implant, or a bone flap, into Giffords’s skull last Wednesday. The Pope also asked of the astronauts’ impressions of the planet from space.

“We fly over most of the world and we don’t see borders, but at the same time we realize that people fight with each other and there is a lot of violence in this world,” Kelly said. The Pope sent his condolences to Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli, whose mother died earlier this month while he was in space.

At least eight dead as building collapses during construction in China

At least eight construction workers have died and thirteen more are injured after a building collapsed during construction in Qiuzhigou Village, a suburb of China’s Wuhan City. It is unclear how many more if any are trapped as the project’s coordinator fled and is being sought by police.

The collapse occurred at 5 p.m. local time yesterday and reduced the four-story structure to a five-metre pile of rubble. The building was a private residence and was illegal as authorities had not been informed of it. Its location in an area accessible only via narrow alleys is hampering search and rescue efforts as heavy equipment such as cranes is having difficulty reaching the scene.

Around 100 rescuers continue to pick through the rubble in the rain. An investigation has been launched.

Coinciding with Easter Sunday, Glasgow Cannabis Social Club’s annual 420 event was held on Glasgow Green, under sunny blue skies, and overlooking the river Clyde. Despite the city’s council attempting to revoke permission for the gathering at the last minute, police were happy for it to go-ahead with approximately a dozen officers attending in high-visibility vests.

The Daily Record reported five arrests were made for minor offences, likely smoking and possession of small quantities of cannabis. Taking a less-sensational — and more accurate — line of reporting, the Monday edition of Glasgow’s Evening News stated five were referred to the Procurator Fiscal who is responsible for deciding if charges should be brought.

Official figures provided by the police were that 150 attended. With people coming and going, Wikinews reporters estimated upwards of 200 attended, compared to nearly 700 who had signed up for the event on Facebook. Hemp goods were advertised and on sale at the event, and some attendees were seen drinking cannabis-themed energy drinks.

“I was searched and charged under the Misuse of Drugs Act (which is a lot of bollocks)” one attendee noted online, adding “not fair to happen on a brilliant day like it was, other than that I had a great day!” A second said they were openly smoking and ignored by police, who “were only really focusing on people who looked particularly young”.

Cannabis seeds were openly and legally sold at the event and a hydroponics supplier brought a motortrike towing an advertising trailer. Actually growing cannabis is, however, illegal in the UK.

With the event openly advocating the legalisation of cannabis, speakers put their arguments for this to a receptive crowd. Retired police officer James Duffy, of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, spoke of the failed United States alcohol prohibition policy; stressing such policies needlessly bring people into contact with criminal elements. Highlighting other countries where legalisation has been implemented, he pointed out such led to lower crime, and lower drug use overall.

One speaker, who produced a bottle of cannabis oil he had received through the post, asserted this cured his prostate cancer. Others highlighted the current use of Sativex by the National Health Service, with a cost in-excess of £150 for a single bottle of GW Pharmaceuticals patented spray — as-compared to the oil shown to the crowd, with a manufacturing cost of approximately £10.

Similar ‘420’ pro-cannabis events were held globally.

Man And Vans Parking Ticket

Man and Vans Parking ticket

by

man and van

Man and Vans provides Man and Van services to business and residential clients around England – and often have to fight against parking tickets on behalf of our clients as part of our day to day work. Although we assist customers with avoiding fines sometimes tickets are given incorrectly or maybe sometimes because the parking warden is having a bad/vindictive day.

Just about all man and van companies are unable to take responsibility for any parking tickets received whilst moving a customer – it is the client s responsibility to arrange parking bay suspensions or paying for parking at a meter where necessary. In our experience the following procedures can be taken in dealing with and preventing parking fines.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGcMFLRl3JA[/youtube]

The council Furniture Removals parking exemption

Though not frequently accepted by councils in day to day parking enforcement, in the detail on their parking rules most authorities permit an immunityto removals of home furniture. If you get in touch with your regional council you can get a clear-cut response on whether they will accept this commonly held exemption.

Cover yourself and getting a parking bay suspension

In our experience the exemption mentioned is not necessarily enough to ensure that the removals van stays ticketless. However, parking wardens will leave us and you alone if you applying advance for a parking bay suspension – unfortunately the only way to ensure you are left alone is to pay for the privilege.

If worst happens you can challenge the ticket

Although we require that clients paying full for parking penalties incurred at the conclusion of the job – you can request that we don t pay it right away so that you can put in an appeal against the ticket. We recommend Ticket Busters who profess to get off 90% of parking penalties. From what we have learned claiming against parking fines all over London, your dispute will often be successful if you have a valid reason and relevant documentation backing up your dispute, and if you persevere with the appeal up until threatening to take it to court proceedings.

It is estimated that 75,000 to 100,000 students have been displaced. [1]. In response, institutions across the United States and Canada are offering late registration for displaced students so that their academic progress is not unduly delayed. Some are offering free or reduced admission to displaced students. At some universities, especially state universities, this offer is limited to residents of the area.

Online buyers conned by fake Olympics ticket web sites

Two web sites purporting to sell tickets to the 2008 Summer Olympic Games due to open in Beijing, China on Friday have been the subject of lawsuits from the International Olympic Committee in United States courts in recent weeks. The web sites, beijingticketing.com and beijing-2008tickets.com, were designed to resemble official sites and often appeared above the official sites in Google searches, and scammed some victims out of up to US$50,000 each for tickets to events such as the Opening Ceremony and swimming, which were listed despite the official Beijing ticket web site stating that tickets to all events had sold out as of July 27. The sites are believed to have taken in millions of dollars in total.

Ken Gamble, a private investigator from Sydney, Australia, believes the sites are operated by Terance Shepherd, whom Gamble has been tracking for several years in relation to other fraudulent web sites selling tickets to events such as the FIFA World Cup. According to Gamble, Shepherd’s modus operandi involves setting up the fake web sites, overselling the tickets, and then failing to produce the tickets. “The story’s always the same,” Gamble said, “it’s an ‘unfortunate mistake’ or someone has ‘let them down’. They promise a refund, which never happens, and the credit companies end up paying all the refunds.” Shepherd owns a home in the London suburb of Blackheath, although authorities believe he is currently hiding in Barbados.

On Monday, beijingticketing.com customers received an email from someone named “Alan Scott”, claiming that the site’s ticket supplier had filed for bankruptcy. The email recommended that customers should contact their credit card companies to seek refunds “immediately”, and said that the company would set up a call centre to provide assistance to its customers. However, the site has been shut down and a phone number previously listed on it has been disconnected. The company’s address, in Phoenix, Arizona, was found to be an empty office space. Visa International has stated that victims who used their Visa card to pay should be able to get their money back, but it is not yet clear whether the same will apply to all customers.
