lording over a severely short-handed Mures side 88-68 in a Group K match-up SODERTALJE (FIBA Europe Cup) - Sodertalje Kings finally opened up their win tally in the FIBA Europe Cup Second Round, lording over a severely short-handed Mures side 88-68 in a Group K match-up between two previously winless teams Having arrived to Sweden without the injured Goran Martinic and Andrew Barham, as well as Alhaji Mohammed the Targu Mures club couldn't keep up with the red-hot shooting of Sodertalje and dropped to 0-3 in the standings the bounce-back victory after two losses to begin the Second Round gave the third-placed Kings as they improved their positions in the hunt for a place in the Round of 16 Turning Point: In spite of playing severely short-handed, Mures had a positive start to the game and led 16-11 with four minutes remaining in the opening quarter after a pair of free throws by Latvian forward Ernests Kalve a timeout and a few harsh words by coach Vedran Bosnic was all it took for Sodertalje to turn things around For the next five minutes, the hosts kept the Romanian side scoreless and solid defensive play continued in the second quarter, as Toni Bizaca single-handedly took care of business on the other end of the floor as the Kings swiftly turned a five-point deficit into a 31-16 lead Game Hero: The competition's leading scorer Bizaca made his mark felt right from the get-go collecting 13 first-quarter points en route to a game-high 23 for the Kings The 34-year-old big man from Croatia made 7-of-12 of his attempts from the field and added 4 rebounds and 2 assists in another spectacular personal display in the competition Stats Don't Lie: The long-range shooting was on point for Sodertalje, with the Kings going 14-of-22 from three-point range for a stellar 64% form beyond the arc. If it wasn't for the red-hot shooting, the Swedish club could have been in for a tough evening, having turned the ball over a team season-high 25 times, which was only two shy of the worst mark in the season set by KB Peja The Bottom Line: Having got their first win in Group K, Sodertalje Kings got right back in the chase for a Round of 16 ticket. Although group leaders Elan Chalon and Gaziantep already have two wins apiece before their head-to-head clash on Wednesday a couple of positive results in the next two games against these clubs could spring the Swedish club even higher up in the table They Said: "When they are defending me from far out they can not help inside – we used it with our bigger player and others who penetrated I would lie if I said that we are completely satisfied If we want to compete for the championship this is one of the aspects we have to improve on." -

TEAMDILLON (@Teamdillon) July 9, 2019 Csaba Borboly has called for military assistance and for culling quotas to be lifted following a spate of cases involving brown bears damaging property in Romania In the depths of Transylvania, Romania a war against one of Europe’s largest brown bear populations is looming Following a string of cases involving damage to private property from bears in recent months a senior politician from the Transylvanian region “The [bear] problem needs the involvement of specialised state institutions such as the police Romania is home to up to the second-largest population of brown bears in Europe Photograph: AlamyBorboly’s remarks follow on the heels of a decision made in late September by the Romanian government to raise the bear hunting quota by the largest margin in recent history The new quota allows for 550 bears to be killed over the next 12 months hunting is the key method in “controlling” the bear population a means of removing specific bears who have been shown to be particularly dangerous to humans and their property With support from the hunting lobby and egged on by the increasingly bear-wary Romanian media Borboly is calling on the Romanian government to amend a European treaty which limits the number of bears that can be culled each year “Bears need to be considered in line with other natural disasters such as floods and forest fires,” Borboly said “They are out of hand and something needs to be done.” Attila Kelemen is a Romanian MP and eastern European representative of Brussels-based lobby group the Federation of Associations for Hunting and Conservation (FACE) The French have three bears and they are pushing in parliament to get rid of them as they cause problems for farmers But they won’t let Romania do anything about our bears Romania has raised its hunting quota for brown bears to 550 over the next 12 months Csaba Domokos is a bear specialist with Milvus Group a Transylvanian wildlife protection organisation “The reality is that no one knows how many bears there are in Romania but to know that we need three numbers: How many bears are being born how many are dying from all causes – not just hunting – and how many are currently alive The counting system is fundamentally flawed Romania hosts hundreds of hunting associations and each one is responsible for counting the bears in a particular area on the map using the animals’ footprints as gauges of their numbers “Of course bears don’t respect these areas,” explains Domokos “They wander in and out of different hunting areas Each one can certainly be counted more than once This could put the total number up by thousands.” Another issue causing conservationists concern is that the bears most feted by hunters are the alpha males for which foreign hunters often pay up to €10,000 (£8,000) to shoot a single specimen who usually keep populations in check by committing infanticide – the killing of the offspring of other males – in order to be able to mate with their mothers an evolutionary trick designed to ensure the continuation of individual bears’ genetic codes A brown bear climbs over a wall to reach rubbish bins in Brasov Young bears are more adventurous and more likely to enter towns for food Photograph: Alamy“These young bears are more adventurous,” explains Domokos “They are the ones who are more prone to enter towns and so even though the population could be falling as a whole we are seeing more and more bears in human habitats The last few months were particularly disastrous as there was almost none of the bears’ normal food – beach nuts and acorns – available with the Romanian media becoming increasingly frenzied about the ‘bear problem’ people will take the issue into their own hands Domokos has found four bears trapped in poachers’ snares along just a 25-mile stretch and believes there are many more which he doesn’t see “The hunting lobby can get away with raising the quota in the name of social protection it is very unlikely it will come down again.” has announced the date of inauguration for the newest shopping center in its portfolio the largest of the last period in Mures county Romanians
