The former WNBA star has been signed on as head coach for his team, The New Orleans Gators. In a recent interview, the New Orleans Rapper talked about why he chose Lisa Leslie. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "I had a chance to experience her hard work and competitiveness first-hand," Miller said. "I played her during the summer of my pro career; she’s smart, she knows basketball and she’s a beast on the court. That’s the kind of spirit we need in our Gator’s organization.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In a recent statement with Essence, Lisa Leslie talked about how excited she is to take on a new position and her love for the league. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "I’m proud to be the coach, the face of this team and organization.

Biasnya siapa ini?😃 Sebuah forum lokal korea membahas mengenai salah satu anggota dari boygrup rookies asuhan SM Entertaiment yaitu Yuta NCT. Dalam enter-talk ini ia memberi keterangan 'satu-satunya idol jepang di sm' yang menarik perhatiannya. Ia pun mengungkapkan alasannya dan menulis hal tersebut seperti dibawah ini, . "Aku telah menonton reality show NCT dan aku terkejut dengan kepribadian Yuta dan karakternya terlihat sangat luarbiasa - dia berhasil memberiku sebuah getaran yang luar biasa. Selain itu, dia pandai menari dan layak untuk bernyanyi (pengucapan bahasa korenya sangat bagus). Aku mohon tolong dukung Yuta dan juga NCT di masa depan ㅠㅠ !!" . Setelah memposting hal tersebut, netizen pun ikut memberi pendapat mereka mengenai Yuta NCT. Diantaranya sebagai berikut, 1. Apakah ia adalah seseorang yang nyata... . 2. Serius, dia tertutup oleh anggota lain tapi Yuta adalah satu anggota NCT yang sangat tampan ㅠㅠ . 3. Gila, dia sangat tampan . 4. Ketampanannya sangat berlebihan ㅠㅠ . 5. Tolong katakan sesuatu padanya...(pic 5) Yuta: - Semuanya, aku tahu aku sangat tampan - Jadi lain kali, ku mohon siapkan kata lain untuk kalian katakan padaku. . 6. Visualnya terkubur karena anggota lainnya... memalukan.. tolong perhatikan Yuta juga ㅠㅠ . 7. Aku adalah penggemar dari grup lain tapi aku berekspresi seperti "wow dia sangat tampan" ketika aku melihatnya di program acara Abnormal Summit saat itu. Dia menjadi lebih tampan lagi setelah dia memulai debutnya! Aku mendukung NCT!! . Yuta sendiri merupakan idol Jepang pertama yang berhasil lolos dan debut dibawah naungan SM Entertaiment. Bergabung dengan SM Entertainment melalui 'SM’s Global Audition 2012' di tempat kelahirannya yaitu Osaka. Yuta juga pernah berpartisipasi dalam konter bernyanyi di Jepang yang dikenal dengan "Juice Winter Collection 2011“ pada tahun 2011 sebelum ia resmi bergabung dengan SM Entertaiment dan berhasil debut pada tahun 2016 kemarin bersama anggota SMRookies dengan nama NCT.

    Globalization: The Obamas Secure $60 Million
 Book Deal
 @ball eralert
The Obamas Secure $60 Million Book Deal - blogged by: @msjennyb ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ BarackObama and MichelleObama have inked a major book deal reportedly worth millions of dollars, topping the record amount held by Bill Clinton for his memoir, “My Life.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The first couple will release two separate books with New York-based Penguin Random House, who released a statement regarding the major contract saying it has “acquired world publication rights for two books, to be written by President and Mrs. Obama respectively.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ According to reports, former PresidentObama, who has already published two memoirs and a children’s book, said he wants to go against the grain with his new book, as he doesn’t want it to be a traditional chronicle of his historical era as the first African-American President of the United States. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On the other hand, a spokesperson for the publishing company has not revealed if the book authored by the former First Lady Obama, who held an equally historic position in the Oval Office, will be a memoir, but both books are expected to exceed the expectation in regards to monetary value. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Amid an intensive bidding process for the first couple’s publishing rights, the figure topped $60 million, quadrupling the Clinton’s record of $15 million. As part of the contract, reports state that the company will donate one million books in Obama family’s name to the First Book charity. However, further details of the deal have not yet been revealed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “We are absolutely thrilled to continue our publishing partnership with President and Mrs. Obama,” the chief executive of the company said in a statement. “With their words and their leadership, they changed the world, and every day, with the books we publish and Penguin Random House, we strive to do the same. Now, we are very much looking forward to working together with President and Mrs. Obama to make each of their books global publishing events of unprecedented scope and significance.”

The Obamas Secure $60 Million Book Deal - blogged by: @msjennyb ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ BarackObama and MichelleObama have inked a major book deal reportedly worth millions of dollars, topping the record amount held by Bill Clinton for his memoir, “My Life.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The first couple will release two separate books with New York-based Penguin Random House, who released a statement regarding the major contract saying it has “acquired world publication rights for two books, to be written by President and Mrs. Obama respectively.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ According to reports, former PresidentObama, who has already published two memoirs and a children’s book, said he wants to go against the grain with his new book, as he doesn’t want it to be a traditional chronicle of his historical era as the first African-American President of the United States. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On the other hand, a spokesperson for the publishing company has not revealed if the book authored by the former First Lady Obama, who held an equally historic position in the Oval Office, will be a memoir, but both books are expected to exceed the expectation in regards to monetary value. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Amid an intensive bidding process for the first couple’s publishing rights, the figure topped $60 million, quadrupling the Clinton’s record of $15 million. As part of the contract, reports state that the company will donate one million books in Obama family’s name to the First Book charity. However, further details of the deal have not yet been revealed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “We are absolutely thrilled to continue our publishing partnership with President and Mrs. Obama,” the chief executive of the company said in a statement. “With their words and their leadership, they changed the world, and every day, with the books we publish and Penguin Random House, we strive to do the same. Now, we are very much looking forward to working together with President and Mrs. Obama to make each of their books global publishing events of unprecedented scope and significance.”

    Globalization: China just announced it
 will ban all ivory trade by
 the end of 2017
 @seekthetruth
In a huge move, China has just announced that it will ban all processing and trade of ivory by the end of 2017, with the first factories scheduled to shut down in just three months time, by the end of March. "China will gradually stop the processing and sales of ivories for commercial purposes by the end of 2017," said the official Xinhua news agency, citing a government statement. The move has been heralded as a 'game changer' by environmental organisations such as the WorldWildlifeFund and Natural Resources Defence Council, seeing as China is one of the biggest global markets for ivory, where it’s used as a precious material in jewellery, furniture, and sometimes even Chinese medicine. "This is great news that will shut down the world’s largest market for elephant ivory," Aili Kang, executive director of the Wildlife Conservation Society in Asia, said in a statement. With fewer than half a million Africanelephants remaining, the question is whether this be enough to save this vulnerable species from a steady decline into extinction. More than 20,000 elephants are killed for their tusks each year, according to the World Wildlife Fund for Nature, with much of it destined for ivory-hungry markets in China, Hong Kong, and the United States. Some African countries have even seen a 60 percent decline in elephant numbers between 2009 and 2014. Since 1989, there’s been an international treaty in place outlawing the sale of ivory harvested after 1975, known as the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) But without local legislation to back this up, the treaty often goes ignored. Last year, China committed itself to slowly strangling domestic trade in ivory products. "We will strictly control ivory processing and trade until the commercial processing and sale of ivory and its products are eventually halted," announced the head of China’s State Forestry Administration, Zhao Shucong in May last year. This was just one part of a 10-point plan intended to eradicate the sale and distribution of ivory across the country, which included education campaigns and increased online. r-p @seekthetruth standup911
