Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has clinched a new five-year deal worth $201 million, the richest contract in NBA history Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has clinched a new five-year deal worth $201 million, the richest contract in NBA history, ESPN reported on Friday. Curry, who recently helped the Warriors to their second NBA Finals crown in three years, is the first player to break the $200 million barrier, ESPN said, citing the player's agent Jeff Austin. News of the agreement wipes away any uncertainty concerning the future of Curry, who had been on a [http://Www.Healthable.org/?s=four-year%20contract four-year contract] worth a relatively modest $44 million until his new deal. Despite being one of the league's highest profile stars, Curry had languished way down the pecking order of the NBA's best-paid players. According to the basketball-reference.com website, Curry had been the 82nd best-paid player in the league, earning just over $12.1 million last season. That figure is dwarfed by the league's highest-earner, LeBron James, who stands [http://capethica.com/UserProfile/tabid/105/UserID/500212/Default.aspx chăn ga gối everhome] to earn $33.3 million next season and $35.6 million in 2018-2019. According to mua dem lo xo dunlopillo ha noi a survey of the world's best paid athletes released earlier this month by Forbes, Curry had earned an additional $35 million in endorsements to go alongside his $12 million salary. However, his new deal would make him the world's fourth highest paid athlete -- in terms of annual salary and winnings -- placing him behind Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo ($58 million), Barcelona's Lionel Messi ($53 million) and the NFL's Andrew Luck ($47 million) on Forbes' 2017 list. - 'Never count another man's money' - Curry's existing contract had been agreed when there were still doubts about his long-term fitness, with the player thought to have issues concerning the durability of his ankles. However, those doubts have been obliterated during a series of dazzling seasons for the Warriors that have helped him become a four-time All-Star. He was named NBA Most Valuable Player during the Warriors' championship winning run in chăn ga gối [https://demxinh.vn/category/dem-bong-ep/dem-bong-ep-everhome/ đệm bông ép everhome hà nội], [https://demxinh.vn/category/chan-ga-goi/chan-ga-goi-everhome/ click through the following post], 2014-2015 and the following season became the first player in [https://knoji.com/search/?query=history history] to win the award in a unanimous vote. He averaged 25.3 points per game this regular season and has led the league in three-point field goals for five straight seasons. That remarkable run of scoring included 402 three-pointers in 2015-2016 -- a single-season record. No other player had passed 300 threes in a season before Curry. In an interview earlier this year, Curry had shrugged off his disparity in earnings with the NBA's best-paid players. "One thing my pops always told me is you never count another man's money," Curry told The San Jose Mercury News. "It's what you've got and how you take care of it. And if I'm complaining about $44 million over four years, then I've got other issues in my life," he said, referring to his current deal. Curry also revealed he had been aware he was way down the list of NBA high-earners when he signed the deal in 2012, but was happy simply to have the security of a long-term contract. "My perspective was, 'Man, I'll be able to take care of my family with this. Blessed to be able to know I'll be playing at least in the NBA for four years and see where it goes from there," he said.

China s Xi: No tolerance for subversion in Hong Kong

HONG KONG (AP) - Chinese President Xi Jinping on Saturday said any activities in Hong Kong seen as threatening China's sovereignty and stability would be "absolutely impermissible," employing some of his harshest language yet toward pro-democracy activities in the territory. In a speech marking 20 years since the city became a semi-autonomous Chinese region after its handover from Britain, Xi pledged Beijing's support for the "one country, two systems" blueprint, under which Hong Kong controls many of its own affairs and retains civil liberties including free speech. However, he said Hong Kong had to do more to shore up security and boost patriotic education, in a veiled reference to legislation long-delayed by popular opposition.

(AP Photo/Kin Cheung) And he appeared to put on notice a new wave of activists pushing for more autonomy or even independence, saying challenges to the power of China's central government and Hong Kong's leaders wouldn't be tolerated. Any attempt to challenge China's sovereignty, security and government authority or use Hong Kong to "carry out infiltration and sabotage activities against the mainland is an act that crosses the red line, and is absolutely impermissible," Xi said. Hong Kong has been roiled by political turmoil in recent years that brought tens of thousands of protesters onto the streets in 2014 demanding democratic reforms. Those calls were ignored by Beijing and Xi indicated there would be no giving ground in the future. "Making everything political or deliberately creating differences and provoking confrontations will not resolve the problems," he said. Hong Kong "cannot afford to be torn apart by reckless moves or internal rifts." While former colonial master Britain and other Western democracies have expressed concerns about Beijing's actions in Hong Kong, China has increasingly made clear it brooks no outside criticism or attempts at intervention. Xi said China had made it "categorically clear" in talks with Britain in the 1980s that "sovereignty is not for negotiation." "Now that Hong Kong has returned to China, it is all the more important for us to firmly uphold China's sovereignty, security and development interests," he said. Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang sent a similar message in Beijing on Friday, saying Hong Kong was strictly China's domestic affair. The 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration laying out terms for Hong Kong's return to Chinese rule is "no longer relevant today, and has no binding force on the Chinese central government's governance over Hong Kong," Lu said. "The U.K. has no sovereignty, governance right or the right of supervision over today's Hong Kong. We hope the relevant people can be aware of the reality," [https://demxinh.vn/category/chan-ga-goi/chan-ga-goi-everhome/ chan ga goi everhome] Lu said. Earlier, Xi presided over a swearing-in ceremony for Carlie Lam, Hong Kong's fifth chief executive since 1997. The life-long bureaucrat and her Cabinet swore to serve China and Hong Kong and to uphold the Basic Law, the territory's mini-constitution. In a speech that ran đệm bông ép canada hà nội far shorter than Xi's 32-minute address, Lam reviewed the dynamic financial center's achievements and challenges, pledged to support central government initiatives and declared that "the future is bright." Lam prevailed over a much more popular rival in an election decried by many as fundamentally undemocratic, with only a sliver of a percent of Hong Kong's more than 3 million registered voters taking part. Xi was due to return to Beijing midday Saturday. His three-day visit aimed at stirring Chinese patriotism had prompted a massive police presence and also included a visit to the People's Liberation Army garrison, which usually maintains a low profile in the territory. Ahead of a flag raising ceremony Sunday, a small group of activists linked to the pro-democracy opposition sought to march on the venue carrying a replica coffin symbolizing the death of the territory's civil liberties. They were swiftly stopped by police and Chinese flag-waving counter protesters, with the action ending about an hour later. Xi's remarks will likely fuel fears among critics that Beijing's ruling Communist Party is tightening its grip over the city's political and civil affairs following a string of recent incidents. Those include the abductions of five Hong Kong booksellers to the mainland starting in late 2015 for selling gossipy titles about elite Chinese politics to Chinese readers. One of the men, Gui Minhai, is still being held. In a similar case, a Chinese-born tycoon with a Canadian passport went missing earlier this year from his hotel suite. News reports indicated mainland Chinese security agents operating in Hong Kong abducted him - a step that would violate the Basic Law. A plan to station Chinese immigration officers in a high-speed rail terminal under construction has also raised hackles, along with the establishment of a local branch of Beijing's Palace Museum without public consultation. Concerns are also high over the two long-delayed policies Xi referenced in his speech: the so-called patriotic national education in schools that many parents fear is a cover for pro-Communist brainwashing, and the anti-subversion national security legislation. Inflows of "red capital" from mainland property investors and businesses are also seen as leaving indigenous tycoons at a disadvantage, while further inflating housing prices that make Hong Kong one of the world's most unequal places.

By Heather Somerville SAN FRANCISCO, June 30 (Reuters) - A well-known Silicon Valley investor, Dave McClure, has been demoted within the firm he co-founded, 500 Startups, the latest fallout from revelations of mistreatment of women in the technology industry. An internal investigation found McClure "had inappropriate interactions with women in the tech community," according to a blog post [http://www.msnbc.com/search/published published] Friday by Christine Tsai, 500 Startups co-founder, who [https://demxinh.vn/category/dem-lo-xo/ địa chỉ mua đệm lò xo hà nội] said the decision to demote him was made a few months ago. "His behavior was unacceptable and not reflective of 500�s culture and values," she said. "I sincerely apologize for the choices he made and the pain and stress they�ve caused people." McClure will assume a limited role at the firm and is attending counseling, Tsai said. McClure on Friday said in a text message to Reuters that he and Tsai "are still on good terms" and "she has my full support." The firm made the change public on Friday following a report by the New York Times that named McClure, along with well-known investor Chris Sacca, as perpetrators of sexual harassment toward women who were applying for jobs or seeking fundraising. The report said McClure was no longer in charge of [http://blogs.realtown.com/search/?q=day-to-day%20operations day-to-day operations]. Sarah Kunst, founder and chief executive of fitness startup Proday, told the New York Times that McClure had sent her an inappropriate Facebook message after she discussed a potential job at 500 Startups. "Before the New York Times article, Dave had already been demoted because of his harassment of women, however no one outside of 500 Startups had been made aware of this fact," Kunst told Reuters on Friday. "Women did not know to avoid him. The lack of disclosure is part of the problem. Women don't know who is a bad actor when the funds cover it up." McClure referred a request for [https://demxinh.vn/category/dem-lo-xo/dem-lo-xo-canada/ đệm lò xo canada hà nội] lò xo dunlopillo hà nội comment on Kunst's statement and other questions to a spokeswoman, who declined to comment beyond the blog post. 500 Startups invests in early-stage startups around the world and offers an accelerator program for entrepreneurs. Its investments include the ride-hailing company Grab and personal finance company Credit Karma. McClure is well known throughout the tech industry because of his contrarian attitudes, which include criticizing venture capitalists, his political statements and his frequent public appearances. He is known to make many investments around the world and far beyond Silicon Valley, in places like Turkey and sub-Saharan Africa. Sacca, who gained prominence with early investments in Twitter and Uber, on Thursday published a blog post apologizing for his behavior. "I now understand I personally contributed to the problem," Sacca said. He had announced in April that he was retiring from his VC firm, Lowercase Capital. Several women spoke to the New York Times after news site The Information published a report last week detailing inappropriate behavior toward women by investor Justin Caldbeck of Binary Capital. He has since resigned and apologized publicly. In February, former Uber engineer Susan Fowler wrote a mua dem lo xo hanvico ha noi blog post detailing the company's culture of sexual harassment, which prompted a months-long investigation that culminated with the resignation of chief executive Travis Kalanick. The events have brought new focus to what many in the industry say is a long-standing culture of entrenched sexual harassment and discrimination that has made it difficult for women and racial minorities to raise funds and assume leadership positions.
