10jili download app Papua New Guinea's AFL trailblazer, Hewago Paul Oea, says it's special - and a tad crazy. The AFL's international development manager Ben Drew says it's exceptional - both Oea and the talent on display. Oea and Drew are watching the AFL's Pacific Cup being contested at Maroochydore on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. "Some of the football being played is exceptional," Drew told AAP. "And it wouldn't have been anything like this 10 years ago." About a decade ago, Drew was in PNG in his role as the AFL's South Pacific manager and first met Oea. "My older brother played rugby league and AFL," Oea told AAP. "Growing up I was watching league as the number one sport back in PNG but it was good to see my brother play both sports. "And I started following him and just playing footy. I just jumped on board and started playing AFL in the junior program. "Watching AFL back home, I was: One day, I hopefully will make it, if I want to work hard now and push myself, one day I will fulfil my dream'. "And my dream come true and I got picked up by the Gold Coast Suns." Oea, universally known as Ace, made his AFL debut for the Suns in 2022 - he was delisted at the end of last season by Gold Coast but remains in training with the club in hope of earning another contract as a supplemental selection. He's reckoned to be the first to play at the elite level after discovering and learning the game overseas, rather than be established in other sports when targeted by AFL recruiters, such as multiple Irishmen and American Mason Cox, or born overseas then adopted the code in Australia. Oea is now not just the role model for about 500 players at the current Pacific Cup, featuring PNG, Fiji, Nauru, New Zealand, Tonga and South Africa in men's and women's open, and U17 male and female competitions. He is also the model for the AFL's entire Pacific pathway. "The pathway that we have in place for these young boys and girls is largely modelled on the journey that we took him on," Drew said. "From a 12-year-old, through to joining the Suns academy at 16, 17, fulltime; and then getting on the NEAFL list; then getting a rookie spot and then being elevated to the (Gold Coast) senior list." Oea, born in Gordon in PNG as the youngest of seven children, fell in love with Australian Rules via the Niukick program in Port Moresby - the locally-branded Auskick program. Drew met him around that time. "I have known Ace since he was 11 when he was in our programs in Port Moresby," Drew said. "I have known his family for a long time. I remember putting him on his first plane and flying down with him after sitting with his Dad and getting the family's blessing to come and move a 15-year-old kid to Australia to have a chance for three months. "Ace wasn't at school. We had to put some tutoring around him to help him read and write and understand, his English has come along so far and his journey is only just beginning. "He's an an amazing role model. "Ace is so generous with his time, he doesn't flinch - whenever our kids are in town he rings me before I get to ring him to say: 'Where are they, I am coming'. "He is just such a great role model and a great person and we're really blessed that he came through the pathway. "He gives up a lot of his time to give back to the kids from all the (Pacific) countries not just PNG; he's always in our Pacific camps, he goes and sees all the players from all the countries." "And hopefully they can come back and one day follow my pathway and fulfil their dream." The Pacific Cup, which concludes on Sunday, is a newly formed event stemming from the AFL's International Cup which was held every three years. The most recent International Cup was in 2017 as the COVID pandemic cancelled the 2020 tournament. "Once we were able to get back from COVID, it was 'is that the best model, how do we support that, do our countries and our affiliates have the ability to all get to Australia at the same time'," Drew said. "So we came to the conclusion that in the short-term, why don't we just split up the world a little bit and hold three regional events." The Transatlantic Cup was staged in Canada last August, with the Pacific Cup to be followed by the Asia Cup in Vietnam next month. "It was extremely important to have something for our affiliates to aspire to at a senior level," Drew said. "Aspiration is important. If there's nothing to aspire to, then generating development and community programs in country becomes a challenge. "For us, the results and who wins and loses is irrelevant in a way - but for the countries, everyone wants to win the tournament. "It's a starting point for our international program. "Once those three competitions are run we will review and come to a conclusion of what we feel is the best model moving forward to continue the growth of international football at a senior level which will impact and help community programs in each country."SAN DIEGO, Nov. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Robbins LLP reminds investors that a class action was filed on behalf of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Zeta Global Holdings Corp.

First, the report alleged that “Zeta has formed ‘two-way’ contracts with third party consent farms wherein the Company simultaneously acts as both a supplier and a buyer of consumer data,” allowing the Company to “flatter reported revenue growth” and indicating possible “round-tripping” of revenue. Second, the report alleged that Zeta’s collects the majority of its customer data from a network of “sham websites that hoodwink millions of consumers each month into handing their data over to Zeta under false pretenses.” For example, the report alleged the Company and its subsidiaries operate a number of fake job boards which are designed to trick individuals into submitting personal data under the pretense of job applications. The report further alleged that the Company’s “most valuable data” comes from these predatory websites, dubbed consent farms, which are “responsible for almost the entirety of the Company’s growth.” On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $10.46, or 37.07%, to close at $17.76 per share on November 13, 2024. Plaintiff alleges that during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that: (1) Zeta used two-way contracts to artificially inflate financial results; (2) Zeta engaged in round trip transactions to artificially inflate financial results; (3) Zeta utilized predatory consent farms to collect user data; and (4) that these consent farms have driven almost the entirety of Zeta’s growth.

You’re correct: two new veterinary medicine schools are due to open; one operated by Atlantic Technological University (ATU) and one by South East Technological University (SETU). The move will almost double the number of graduates who join the Irish veterinary ranks each year. These, along with the current programme on offer at UCD , will bring to three the number of veterinary medicine programmes in Ireland. Veterinary medicine is one of the most in-demand courses available in higher education in Ireland. CAO entry points requirements were about 589 in 2023 and 2024, beyond many students’ capacity. Up to now, the limited number of places in Ireland meant many students had no option but to travel abroad. It is estimated, for example, that at least 120 young Irish people – who do not meet those points requirements – travel abroad each year to study veterinary science at universities in the UK and in cities such as Warsaw in Poland and Budapest in Hungary. If the 80 additional places projected for 2025 materialise, and application patterns remain at current levels, I would expect some students in the 555-560 range to secure a place on one of the three programmes. There has been some grumbling that other universities missed out. The Government says its decision to locate the two new veterinary medicine courses at SETU and ATU was based on recommendations made by the Higher Education Authority following the work of an expert advisory panel. When it comes to the course itself, the Veterinary Council of Ireland (VCI) sets the standards for veterinary education in Ireland, in line with international best practice, and these new programmes will be required to meet these standards. [ Finding the perfect fit: What type of third level would best suit me? Opens in new window ] This oversight means that students will graduate with the appropriate training and professional expertise required to register and practise as vets. The VCI accreditation panel that will review the two new programmes will consist of national and international veterinary expertise across a range of topics to include veterinary medicine, paraclinical subjects, clinical expertise in a range of species, public health and food hygiene. Subject to VCI accreditation, the courses may then afford eligibility to graduates of VCI-accredited programmes to practise as far afield as Australia, New Zealand, the UK and mainland Europe. All of this means that SETU and ATU will be in a position to compete with the best veterinary medicine schools in Europe, which is great news for students interested in studying in this area.Adele has opened up about how her two-year Las Vegas residency got off to a "rocky" start. Login or signup to continue reading The Chasing Pavements singer, 36, mounted the gigs after a traumatic time in 2022 which saw her cancel the shows less than a day before the first one was set to kick off – and wrapped them up on Saturday night with an emotional performance at Caesars Palace that saw her kiss her 12-year-old son Angelo and fiancée Rich Paul, 43, after making a speech to fans about her battle to put them on. She told the crowd in a video shared on social media: "I am so sad that this residency is over and I am so glad that it happened – I really, really am. "It got off to such a f****** rocky, rocky way. It was one of the worst years of my life. "I was being punched around, it was horrible and I was told it was career suicide and Vegas would never forgive me for (cancelling) so last minute." Ahead of her last show on Saturday, Adele told how she was looking forward to enjoying red wine and resting in bed. She told fans at one of her recent shows in Sin City, she said: "Doing four hours a weekend of completely live singing is a lot. "And I chat a lot, and I'm very, very sensitive and I'm emotional. I am battered after these shows. And I take every single person on in this room into my soul, I take you home with me. She added she's been on "full recovery" between shows and was ready for them to be over. Adele went on: "It's a big deal to me because it's very, very bittersweet. But (my residency) has been in my mind for four years... four years for one f****** idea. "So I'm looking forward to having loads of spare time to love on my kids, to love on my man and to love on another kid. To love on my house. "Saturday night (when the residency ends), I'm probably going to have a (lot) of red wine. "So that's the most exciting thing for when the show ends! Then after that I think I'm just going to really, really veg until the end of the year. I feel like I'm early hibernating already."
