Gray skies perfect for Iowa DNR free fishing weekend
DES MOINES, Iowa — Gray skies proved to be the perfect weather for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources free fishing weekend. From June 6th to 8th, the Iowa DNR hosted its free fishing weekend meant to encourage newcomers to the pastime. Normally, anyone over the age of 16 is required to have a valid fishing license to fish on Iowa waters. Isaiah 117 House holds community-wide kickoff, goal to open house With the rules suspended, several people spend some time at Gray's Lake. 'It was a little rough during the rain, but other than that, catching the bluegill was something,' said Armando. 'The water has been clear, has been nice, not too harsh.' 'I mean, you've got something to learn from everybody, and someone's out here always fishing. Everyone is pretty friendly when it comes to fishing, and they're willing to help,' said Zeke. 'Yeah, I think the weekend is a good motivation if you haven't really fished before, you try to learn how to do it, a great time to test it out and see if it's something you like,' said Fred. Those ready to test out the waters can visit the Iowa DNR Fishing Atlas for access to lake or river details, fishing reports, and survey data.

Exclusive: Armando Pantoja alleges JPMorgan manipulated Bitcoin market entry
JPMorgan Chase's decision to let clients buy Bitcoin without the bank's custody marks the end of a strategy that crypto investor Armando Pantoja insists he saw coming for years. 'I didn't believe Jamie Dimon really believed what he was saying,' Armando said when asked about the bank's recent move. 'It was a tactic to keep the average person away from it to keep the prices down.' According to Armando, banks as a group 'were caught off guard with cryptocurrency. They dismissed it from 2009 into 2018.' Institutions, he added, 'are like cruise ships — they take a long time to turn around.' While they maneuvered, the best way to accumulate Bitcoin cheaply was to frighten retail investors, he argued. Armando traced that playbook to a series of hammer blows that struck crypto markets in late 2017 and early 2018 — from Facebook's ban on crypto ads in early 2018 to Google's swift follow-up ban, MasterCard and Visa's refusal to process many crypto-related payments, and the U.S. government's decision to green-light Bitcoin shorting through derivatives in December 2017. Those moves, he said, helped drive Bitcoin from nearly $20,000 to about $3,000 in 2018, giving big buyers time to build positions. 'All the while, JPMorgan created their own coin,' Armando noted, claiming the bank was 'buying Bitcoin behind the scenes' even as Dimon publicly called the asset a 'fraud.' In Armando's view, the same dynamic resurfaced in 2020–21. After Bitcoin slid again to roughly $3,000 in early 2020, banks resumed public skepticism even as they quietly built out their crypto capabilities. Armando added that JPMorgan's network of advisors was told to discourage clients from investing in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, further suppressing retail demand until the bank had amassed its positions. He said this approach allowed banks 'to acquire all of these things at a reasonable price.' Now, with JPMorgan opening the door to client purchases without custody, Armando believes the bank and its peers have secured the control they wanted. 'They would allow people to start purchasing it once they were the controllers and the brokers of cryptocurrency.'

Goa Pro League: Sporting Clube are champions, again
Panaji: Sporting Clube de Goa were pushed to the limit before they defended their Goa Professional League title after a goalless draw against challengers Dempo SC in the concluding league clash at the Dempo Academy ground, Ella, on Friday. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Sporting needed a draw in the final game and they did enough to restrict the young Dempo side on their home turf. They finished the season with 46 points with 15 wins, three draws and only two defeats. Dempo, who finished third in the Reliance Development Football League (RFDL) national finals, needed nothing less than three points but were forced to settle for the runnersup finish with 45 points. Sporting had recently completed their I-League 2 engagements where they finished third and missed out on promotion to the second tier of Indian football. Armando Colaco 's side had to tackle tight fixtures, but the team proved their mettle by finishing on top. 'We were tired from playing so many games,' Armando told TOI. 'The boys needed rest, but they still played and gave their best. I am very happy.' The first Goan to win the Dronacharya Award, Armando dedicated the win to everyone involved in the club's journey. 'This victory is dedicated to all players, owners, coaching staff and most importantly our supporters. We were much better than last year,' said Armando, whose future at Sporting is uncertain as his three-year contract ends this season. Sporting had edged past Dempo 2-1 in the first leg and started confidently with a mix of senior and young players. But even as they had more ball possession, Sporting couldn't create any clear chances. The window opened only before the half an hour mark when Biswa Darjee sent in a dangerous cross from the right. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It went across the Dempo goal and Naocha Singh couldn't get a connection at the end of it. The intensity increased after the cooling break, and it got heated. Naocha and Dempo's Laximanrao Rane got into a tussle and landed up exchanging blows. Referee Sunil Nanodkar managed to get the situation under control and then flashed red cards at both the players. After the break, it looked like the teams could break the deadlock, but a goal never arrived. In the final quarter, Dempo went all out and had a glorious opportunity when Arnold Oliviera's cross was fumbled by Sporting keeper Siddharth Rana. Substitute Shreyash Naik could easily be Dempo's hero but his effort sailed over with Rana rooted on the ground. 'To defend a title is never easy, it demands character, consistency, belief. And that belief has been shown week in and week out by our players, staff, and most importantly, by everyone who stands by this club,' said club president Natalina Vaz. 'Next season, we will get even better. I am pretty sure the team will work hard for the third title and more importantly work towards I-League qualification,' she added. Salgaocar secure I-League 3 berth Mapusa: New entrants Clube de Salgaocar registered a 2-0 win against Geno FC in the Goa Professional League at Duler Stadium, Mapusa, on Friday. Salgaocar finished third in the standings with 41 points and secured a place in the I-League 3 qualifiers next season. Geno needed a win but had to settle for the fourth spot on 36 points. They were unlucky not to score on three occasions in the first session as Abelson Jachi and Franky Oliveiro were left frustrated. Salgaocar had just one good attempt by Denil Rebello which was brilliantly saved by Geno goalkeeper Savio Pereira. Salgaocar broke the deadlock through Saeesh Halarnkar in the 68th minute after a goal-mouth melee. Isac Zomuanpuia then converted a penalty after he was brought down by Geno goalkeeper Savio Pereira. At Sirsaim ground, defeated Sesa FA 2-0.
