Cassandra — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cassandrathesceptic (talk • contribs)
To paraphrase myself regarding edits of yours elsewhere “Yet again, it's about your multi-article coatracking of (nebulous POVs*) that I couldn't characterise, let alone dispute. Pertinence, not accuracy…Your contribution is characteristically opportunistic, off-topic and disruptive.”
The post that you have latched on to here (both as an IP-sock then returning under your occasional user name) notes a perceived deficiency in the article. (Whether this is the right article to cover that deficiency (History of Scotland etc. may be better) and quite what it is, without having more information as to which event the user refers to, its period and the antagonists involved (“a massacre in the Highlands” is not a narrow field), is by the by.) Again, the original post is a request for an improvement of the article. It is not the opening up of a forum on the matter: "Do not use the talk page as a forum or soapbox for discussing the topic. The talk page is for discussing how to improve the article. ", particularly not to rehash one of the POV pieces you have pushed at multiple article talk pages. Your "answwer" clearly isn’t a genuine attempt to respond to the original post or to provide reliably sourced and NPOV material for the article itself.

Guided by these findings, tilapia farming techniques could be adjusted to address the nutritional criticisms directed at the fish, while retaining its advantage as an omnivore capable of feeding on economically and environmentally inexpensive vegetable protein. Adequate diets for salmon and other carnivorous fish can alternatively be formulated from protein sources such as soybean, although soy-based diets with soy oil may also change in the balance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. == Miscellaneous uses ==
Tilapia serve as a natural, biological control for most aquatic plant problems. They consume floating aquatic plants, such as duckweed watermeal (Lemna spp. ), most "undesirable" submerged plants, and most forms of algae. In the United States and countries such as Thailand, they are becoming the plant-control method of choice, reducing or eliminating the use of toxic chemicals and heavy metal-based algaecides. Tilapia rarely compete with other "pond" fish for food. Instead, because they consume plants and nutrients unused by other fish species and substantially reduce oxygen-depleting detritus, adding tilapia often increases the population, size, and health of other fish. They are used for zoo ponds as a source of food for birds. Tilapia can be farmed with shrimp in a symbiotic manner, positively enhancing the productive output of both. Arkansas stocks many public ponds and lakes to help with vegetation control, favoring tilapia as a robust forage species and for anglers. In Kenya, tilapia help control mosquitoes, which carry malaria parasites. They consume mosquito larvae, which reduces the numbers of adult females, the disease's vector. In Brazil, Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fish skin applied as a bandage is being used in a new clinical trial to treat burn injuries. In the United States, tilapia skin has been used to successfully treat third-degree wounds to the paws of two black bears caught in California's Thomas wildfire, and also to treat burns on the paws of a black bear from California's Carr wildfire. Nile tilapia skin has completed a phase III clinical trial for burn treatment, but no results have been posted as of November 2020. == Parasites ==
As with most fish, tilapia harbor a variety of parasites. For the monogeneans, these especially include species of the megadiverse genus Cichlidogyrus, which are gill parasites. Species of Enterogyrus are parasites in the digestive system. Tilapia, as important aquaculture fishes, have been introduced widely all over the world, and often carried their monogenean parasites with them. In South China, a 2019 study has shown that nine species of monogeneans were carried by introduced tilapia. == See also ==

Stephen Halliday: Scottish football must confront racist legacy When Alex Dyer entered the media room at Rugby Park on Friday morning, he should have been anticipating the opportunity to wax lyrical about his Kilmarnock team's fine recent form and an impressive midweek victory over Rangers. Instead, the Killie manager had to field questions about the alleged racist abuse of Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos during the match, which the Ayrshire club, prompted by disturbing video evidence, are now investigating. Given that the concept of irony is almost certainly outwith the understanding of the kind of moron who would shout the offensive phrase concerned at Morelos, it would probably be a waste of time to point out to them that the Colombian international and the man in charge of the Kilmarnock side they claim to support share the same ethnicity. It is beyond embarrassing for Scottish football that Dyer, the only black manager operating in the Premiership, finds himself working in an environment where racism is an issue which continues to raise its ugly head so regularly. It is no less cringeworthy for a football writer like myself, now in the veteran stage of my career, to still be writing about it in 2020. So much for living in more enlightened times. My first notable encounter with racism in the sport came in 1985 at Hampden Park for Scotland's Rous Cup victory over England. An afternoon Viv Anderson, the first black player to represent England, will not recall fondly. It is difficult to fully explain in print the dreadful extent of the abuse which came Anderson's way from the Tartan Army that day. But if you can stomach it, check out the YouTube footage of the game with the clearly audible monkey noises and derogatory chants which were struck up whenever he touched the ball. Later the same year, a friendly match between Rangers and Twente Enschede saw the Dutch team's Suriname-born defender Ulrich Wilson subjected to similar treatment from a section of the Ibrox crowd. At a time when public calling-out of such conduct was a rarity, it prompted a remarkably withering front-page editorial in the club newspaper Rangers News condemning those involved. "As we listened to the boos from the Copland Road end of the ground, we fumed at such appalling stupidity," it read. "Because if the people who were booing had seen Ulrich Wilson earlier in the day they wouldn't have given him a second glance. If he had gone into their shop, or factory, or climbed on the same bus as them, they would have treated him just like everyone else. "Glasgow is famous the world over for the warmth of its welcome to strangers and we are sure Asians and Africans alike are treated well in the rest of Scotland. So why should this small group of pinheads give the impression that anyone in Glasgow has a bee in their bunnets about blacks?." Yet in the subsequent 35 years, we have continued to witness racism in Scottish football, from Mark Walters being pelted by fruit and subjected to monkey chants when playing for Rangers at Celtic Park and Tynecastle in the late 1980s, through to a Rangers fan making a monkey gesture at Celtic winger Scott Sinclair three years ago - and the recent cases of abuse towards Morelos and Aberdeen full-back Shay Logan. The Scottish football authorities continue to appear impotent in dealing with racism. It's now a year since Scottish FA and SPFL CEOs Ian Maxwell and Neil Doncaster met with Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf to discuss how to confront unacceptable conduct among supporters. Until forceful action is taken by all parties, the dismal legacy of the 1980s will live on and good men like Alex Dyer will continue to face questions which shame Scotland.

== Architecture ==
Wasn't the Jupiter ACE identical in hardware to the ZX81, but for the ROM contents? I think this was true of the board architecture, though not for the case and keyboard.(btw. I still possess a Jupiter ACE, but it hasn't been used for over 20 years). DFH 18:51:30, 2005-09-08 (UTC)
The architecture is not the same, so neither the actual hardware. Reference to Sinclair Derivatives at the end of the article is completely erroneous. Only the keyboard electronics is similar. The whole machine is absolutely different though it belongs to the same class of home computers as many others do amd are not considered clones. It cannot be compared with the ZX-80 ou ZX-81... neither with the Spectrum machine whatever the version. The only link is that both designers worked at Sinclair Research wich does not reflect the reality of this computer. No relation does exist that could (eventually) demand a license from Sinclair Research. : Actually not true that only the keyboard electronics is similar. I have an extension board for mine that allowed me to use my ZX81 16K rampack on a Jupiter Ace. I also had some success with the ZX printer. The architecture was very similar. Sirfurboy (talk)
The ROM is completely different, as it uses FORTH instead of BASIC. Besides that it has only 1K for programming (like the ZX81) plus the Video System (which the ZX-81 didn't had). This was 1KB as screen bank plus 1KB as chars definitions bank. The total giving the misleading total of 3K. It could receive expansion RAM packs up to 48K. Adding the 1k internal this gives 49K of user RAM. The ZX-81 shared his 1K with video data severely which was a severe limitation forcing the usage of a RAM extension to be useful. However more evolved programs can be made in this 1K because the FORTH implementation occupies less space than BASIC (Up to 4x Smaller)... it is also faster than basic (Up to 10x faster) making it a wonderful piece of hardware for embedded systems. This extra value of 1K in the ACE against the ZX-81 may have been an argument to sell the ACE with 1K instead of 4k. By then the competition was fierce and money talked higher. Not having the projected 4K didn't help, as the window of opportunity was closing. Actually it may have been the reason to it's dead. I had implemented a Conway's LIFE program using the full screen as matrix and still had plenty space to spare. And it was fast: a screen would be updated in a second and a half. This would have been impossible on a ZX-81... and hard on a Spectrum. I believe this says it all. But that was not the ACE limit. Soon changed the inner routine (it was the bottleneck) to machine code. The ACE's Forth made that job easy, so it become real-time... And I had to create a delay between screens to enjoy the evolution. That was the ACE!!! Lovely machine! The down part: it should had been made with the initial 4k programming space as standard (it was ready to them by design) instead of 1K. Even so the above testimony refers solely to the off-the-box 1K programing space and still not fully used, in this example. Imagine what could have been done with 4K. It would have been, hopefully, an enormous success in Education and Industry (if allowed). However (to me) it was an existing flaw, non economical related, in the manufacturing of the keyboard: Keys tend to bump when pressed. Keys were too high. I found a worse keyboard problem: Mine become inoperative with dead keys. It was easily solved though, but at that time, to me, it was fatal. Reason: Loss of conductiveness due to usage and posterior cleaning attempts that revealed to be destructive (do NOT EVER clean the rubber contacts, just clean the metals). Some Keys stopped working and that was the end of it for some years. Solution: As I found, too much later, this was easily corrected with a small drop of conductive ink, one in each needing contact rubber. It become as good as new, if not better.

Coping Skills, Like Goal-Setting And Perseverance, May Predict Ability To Overcome Adversity During undesirable situations, such as getting rejected from your dream college or getting laid off from a job, it's understandable that you may feel disappointed. This sense of failure may give you a greater motivation to push forward, while others will simply give up. But, learning from your mistakes may allow you to be more confident, adaptive, and tolerant to negative situations, according to a new study. To better understand the relationship between one's ability to recover from a situation and their self-regulation skills, which include goal-setting and perseverance, researchers studied a group of socially at-risk students. The researchers learned that students who were able to regulate their own behaviors had a much better chance of bouncing back from failure or adversity. They could tolerate problems because they believed they could overcome them. Read: Follow Your Dreams Without Fear: Oxytocin, Emotional Self-Regulation Turn Threat Into Opportunity "We wondered whether these students would survive better in the system if they were prepared to overcome adversity," study author Raquel Artuch-Garde said in a news release. "The research shows the relationship between two essential non-cognitive skills: resilience and self-regulation that are equally or even more important than cognitive aspects in the educational process of students at risk of social exclusion." Self-regulation skills are important for people of all ages. Photo courtesy of Pixabay The research, published in Frontiers in Psychology, involved 365 students, aged 15-21 years, from various schools throughout Navarre, Spain. The students" resilience was assessed using a validated scale that measures a person's ability to cope with adversity. A separate scale, used for self-regulation, looked for evidence of four factors among each student: goal-setting, perseverance, decision making, and learning from mistakes. Read: Self-Regulation Skills Better In American Girls Than Boys; Asian Preschoolers Equally Motivated Arutch-Garde and colleagues found that learning from mistakes was a major predictor of resilience. In their paper, they note their findings show it's especially important to work on goal-setting and learning from mistakes in socially at-risk children. Both of these principles are deemed to be among the top psychological methods to help students in pre-K through 12th grade learn effectively, according to the American Psychological Association. "By working on self-regulation skills of students at risk, we encourage their resilient capacity to build an optimistic life plan and to (persevere), which in turn reduces drop-out rates that lead to social exclusion," Arutch-Garde said. Self-regulation is vital to emotional well-being. You begin developing the skill at a very young age, but there's always time to grow and improve as you age. Acquiring emotion regulation skills can help with happiness, success, and relationships. One way to build this skill is by setting goals, pursuing them, and persisting even if you feel anxious. Being able to tolerate feeling anxious will allow you to become more likely to try new things even if they failed the first time, according to Psychology Today. Another way to regulate your emotion is to engage in intimate conversations, instead of fleeing them.

Furious Brits flying to Mexico find out MID-AIR country is being put on the red list Are you stuck in Mexico and facing hotel quarantine back in the UK? Let us know:
Furious British holidaymakers flying to Mexico have revealed how they found out that the country was being moved onto the red list mid-air. From 4am on Sunday, people returning to the UK from Mexico will have to stay in isolation in a hotel for 10 days. However, the government has been slammed for giving only three days' notice of the change, with the only direct flight from Mexico City to London before Sunday on sale for a staggering £6,878. Travel agency CEO Paul Charles tweeted after the announcement: 'Pity poor #UK travellers in #Mexico - some 5/6,000 who have to somehow get back before hotel quarantine kicks in on Sunday. Certainly not enough seat capacity.' And holidaymakers have revealed how they found out about Mexico going red at the very last minute. Claire, 30, from south London, said: 'I had access to the Wifi so I found out in mid air. 'I just wanted to grab the tannoy and tell everyone because I could see all these families looking forward to their holiday and it was obvious they didn't know. 'It's crazy the lack of notice. I had no inkling Mexico was about to go on the red list.' Another tweeted: 'Landing in Mexico to find out it's been added to the red list whilst I was up in the air, has got to be one of the worst things I've ever experienced.' Father-of-two David Hing, 40, arrived in Mexico with his wife and children aged four and seven on July 31. They were supposed to stay until August 21 - five days before the travel list is looked at again. Mr Hing told MailOnline: 'We knew the risks and while at the moment it seems like a bad dream and is very stressful and I've been up all night looking at alternative options, we are just going to try to enjoy the holiday. 'It broke my heart when my two little ones said they wanted to stay on holiday and would lend us money if we needed it. 'The notice period doesn't really give long enough to make changes especially when it's hard to get through and talk to anyone at the airlines. 'The images of the food and hotels do not seem like they are worth the cost so that's why we are going to try and fly back somewhere else first. I feel sorry for the people who were already on the flight from the UK and hope they can make alternative arrangements.' A young couple cut short their honeymoon in Mexico from two weeks to two days, after they discovered the new restrictions upon landing in Mexico early on Thursday morning. Joe Coward, 29, said: 'Basically we touched down to find that our two-week honeymoon, which had already been rearranged several times, was going to be a two-day visit. We've arranged a flight for tomorrow and will be spending today getting ready to turn right around and go home.' Mexico is in the grip of a third wave of Covid and on Wednesday reported 20,685 new confirmed cases in the country, the highest daily jump since late January. Seven European countries: Austria, Germany, Latvia, Norway, Romania, Slovenia and Slovakia will turn green from Sunday 4am. India, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates will switch from red to amber, meaning arrivals from those countries will no longer have to spend 11 nights at pricey quarantine hotels; But Mexico, Georgia and the French overseas territories of La Reunion and Mayotte are joining the red list. Up to 6,000 Brits are on holiday in Mexico and now scrambling to get back this weekend to avoid quarantine hotels - with not enough seats to get them home; Hotel quarantine costs are to soar to more than £200 a night from a week today. From next Thursday, the price will jump to £2,285 for a single person. Additional adults and teenagers will be charged £1,430 - more than double the current £650 rate; Another 611 deaths were also reported and the country has recorded a total of 2,901,094 infections and 242,547 deaths. The government has said the real number of cases is likely significantly higher, and separate data published recently suggested the actual death toll is at least 60% above the confirmed figure. The decision to place Mexico on the red list also reflects worries about a new variant which originated in Colombia and which has concerned British scientists. Returning from Mexico after the deadline will see Britons face a steep hotel quarantine bill after the government raised the price to'reflect increased costs involved'. | 986 | null | 2021-12-31 00:00:00 | null | null | null | null |

The Atlas Mountains were shaped by geological processes at work over hundreds of millions of years. One key step occurred in the early Jurassic period (201m to 174m years ago), when many of the world's continents were still bunched closely together after the breakup of the supercontinent Pangea. This part of Morocco fell within the African plate, near a boundary with the Eurasian and North American plates. As the three plates separated, the crust thinned so much that a tear opened up and formed a rift valley that eventually filled with ocean water. As the crust thinned and the rift opened up, large blocks of Earth's crust dropped downward, creating broad valleys known as grabens. Grabens have elevated blocks at their edges called horsts that became fault-block mountains. These mountains were pushed up even higher during a later phase of intense mountain building in the Cenozoic (66m years to present), spurred by the collision of African and Eurasian tectonic plates. Photograph: Modis/Terra/Nasa A display of hole-punch clouds over eastern China, visible on 28 December 2016. This strange phenomenon results from a combination of cold temperatures, air traffic, and atmospheric instability. If you were to look from below, it would appear as if part of the cloud were falling out of the sky, which is actually what's happening. The mid-level clouds are initially composed of liquid drops at a super-cooled temperature below 0C. As an airplane passes through the cloud, it creates a disturbance that triggers freezing. Ice particles then quickly grow in the place of the water droplets. Eventually the ice crystals in these patches of clouds grow large enough that they literally fall out of the sky - earning hole-punch clouds their alternate name: fallstreak holes. Falling crystals are often visible in the centre of the voids. The formations in this image are less like holes and more linear, like long canals. Whether the void takes on a circular or linear shape depends on differences such as cloud thickness, wind shear, and air temperature. Hole-punch and canal clouds often occur in the vicinity of an airport. Photograph: Planet In the Nevada desert, the pioneering artist Michael Heizer completes his colossal life's work.

Best vegan subscription boxes 2021 that make plant-based living easier Veganism has never been more popular. The Veganuary movement welcomed its one millionth member in 2020, which was a record year with 402,206 people from 192 countries signing up for the challenge. More than half of non-vegan participants kept to a fully vegan diet for the whole month, and 72 per cent of them planned to stay vegan after January had ended. Food manufacturers and supermarkets, as well as healthcare and beauty firms, are cottoning on and expanding their plant-based offerings. However, the number of vegan foods and products available remains dwarfed by the volume of non-vegan items. Limited options and poor access can sink even the best intentions to stay vegan. Having a subscription to your favourite vegan products could help. Knowing something is going to turn up at your home each month without the need to struggle to find it in a supermarket or pharmacy takes the pressure off. Read more It could be the difference between staying vegan and not, and it helps you to discover the latest items. The variety of product we tested would appeal to both vegans and non-vegans alike.

Dominic Cummings labels Boris Johnson a 'joke Prime Minister' after Covid report The study, from the cross-party Science and Technology Committee and the Health and Social Care Committee, said the UK's preparation for a pandemic was far too focused on flu, while ministers waited too long to push through lockdown measures in early 2020. In the wide-ranging study stretching to 151 pages, MPs criticised the fact community testing was abandoned in March 2020 as a "seminal error," claimed NHS test and trace was too slow and failed to have a big impact, and that thousands of people died in care homes due to a policy of discharging people from hospital without testing. Sign up to our Politics newsletter Sign up to our Politics newsletter Now Mr Cummings has criticised the Prime Minister he helped elect and and the system of Government. He told Sky News: "The government system for dealing with crises is a disaster, as I wrote in 2019. "The system was bad for many years before Covid. Me and others put into place work to try and improve the system in 2020 after the first wave, unfortunately the Prime Minister - being the joke that he is - has not pushed that work through. "Now we have a joke Prime Minister and a joke leader of the Labour Party and we obviously need a new political system." Tuesday also saw the minister for the Cabinet Office Stephen Barclay defend the Government's handling of the crisis, but also admit he had "not had a chance to read" the report despite it being handed to media on Monday. Mr Barclay, who was repeatedly asked to apologise for Government failings but did not, said: "It was an unprecedented pandemic, we were learning about it as we went through and of course, with hindsight, there's things we know about it now that we didn't know at the time. "Of course there are going to be lessons to learn, that's why we've committed to an inquiry, but the Government took decisions at the time based on the scientific advice it received, but those scientists themselves were operating in a very new environment where they themselves were learning about the pandemic." At the beginning of the pandemic, when Covid-19 emerged in China, MPs said the UK policy was to mistakenly take a "gradual and incremental approach" to interventions such as social distancing, isolation and lockdowns. They said this was "a deliberate policy" proposed by scientists and adopted by UK governments, which has now been shown to be "wrong" and led to a higher death toll. The MPs concluded that the "decisions on lockdowns and social distancing during the early weeks of the pandemic - and the advice that led to them - rank as one of the most important public health failures the United Kingdom has ever experienced." After hearing evidence from people including the Prime Minister's former adviser, Dominic Cummings, and former health secretary Matt Hancock, the MPs said it was only in the days leading up to the March 23 lockdown that people within Government and advisers "experienced simultaneous epiphanies that the course the UK was following was wrong, possibly catastrophically so."

It used to be that the only things you needed when you hit the pool was a pair of goggles and some swimming gear. However, ear plugs are being replaced by earphones as tech manufacturers realise that swimmers have been seriously underserved for some time and there are now a good range of earphones that are capable of keeping your workout tracks totally watertight. However, when it comes to putting a soundtrack to a swimming session there are a few things you need to consider - the first is, obviously, the level of waterproofing. Almost all earphones on test here are graded either IPX7 (1m depth for 30 mins) or IPX8 (2m depth for one hour) and the one that isn't has a separate casing equivalent to an IPX8. The seal of the bud in the ear is also critical because there's little point having a pair of high quality, pin-drop sharp (and expensive) headphones when they're languishing at the bottom of the pool. You also need something that will perform just as well during 10 minutes of gentle breaststroke as it does throughout half an hour of lane swimming with tumble turns. Read more The seal of the buds will also dictate quality and ensure your music doesn't sound like it's being played from inside a dishwasher. The final consideration has to be the amount of storage that comes with each set - don't forget, what we're talking about here are waterproof MP3 players by another name, and any hope of a Bluetooth connection is out because that wireless technology doesn't work in the big blue. Here's how the latest crop of phones stood up when we dived in. Bragi the dash pro: £249, Currys This update delivers all the bonuses of the original (secure fit and long battery life) while maintaining the IPX7 rating and adding a real immersive quality to the sound, which comes from the tight seal that the earbuds form in your ears to help shut out the noises of the pool. The automatic detection of the start of your swimming workout doesn't suffer any lag issues, and the companion app will store your swimming sessions and let you know how many lengths you've just completed. The price tag is justified by the fact they offer some real competition to Apple's AirPods for everyday use, while these have the the edge as they can be used in the pool. Buy now HydroActive waterproof headphones: £83, Amazon These wraparound buds are great for all swimming styles and are designed to be used with any waterproof MP3 player. They come with nine different-sized earbuds in four different styles but we found the "tree" design buds provided the most watertight seal and even stayed in place after a diving start. A solid underwater audio experience too. Buy now Flex waterproof headphones with syryn waterproof MP3 player: £70.64, Storkz These are excellent value for money, and come with an IPX8-rated MP3 player for you to download your swimming soundtrack on to. The cord is short so you won't have to worry about getting entangled in wires when you're crawling, and the buds do a great job of keeping the water out and the sound in. Simply hook the MP3 housing on the side of a swim cap, turn on shuffle and rule the pool. Buy now FX-Sport VR-1: £122 + silicone skin £19, FX-Sport Boasting 8GB of storage and five hours of battery life, these are the only phones that are external speakers (rather than in-ear) - so in order to make them truly waterproof you need to wrestle them into a silicone skin first and then wear them under a cap. This means there are no slippage issues but they don't feel that discreet. The sound is excellent, especially bass levels, and there's lots of further functionality from swimming workouts and high intensity interval training sessions that are already stored on the phones and are ready to use as an in-ear personal trainer if you want something more than music to motivate you. Buy the headphones now
Buy the silicone skin now Finis Duo underwater bone conduction MP3 player: £100.64, Amazon This 4GB player can be used in salt and freshwater and is waterproof up to 2m for one hour. Attaching to goggles (which can be a little fiddly), it relies on bone conduction tech, so the speakers sit on your cheekbones and are picked up by the inner ear. This feels very strange at first but has a real impact on volume so the music never sounds muffled and there is some decent bass, mid-range and high end. Also, the fact our ears aren't encumbered means we are still able to be fully aware of what is going on in a busy pool.

Illegal casino discovered in Hacienda Heights, authorities say Sheriff's investigators discovered what authorities described as an illegal gambling operation in Hacienda Heights on Wednesday night. A deputy patrolling the area tried to detain a man and a woman shortly before 9:30 p.m. after he saw the man hand a woman a handgun, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said in a news release. The woman went inside a property in the 1300 block of Hacienda Boulevard and locked the door, authorities said. Deputies gave orders via loudspeaker for her to exit but she did not, according to investigators. Tactical teams with the sheriff's Special Enforcement Bureau responded and were able to convince the woman to come out; she was accompanied by 11 other people, according to officials. Police then served a search warrant on the property and found that it was housing "an illegal gambling casino," the Sheriff's Department said. They recovered a handgun and a sawed-off shotgun from inside. Eleven people were arrested on suspicion of illegal gambling, and two of them also face weapons charges. In addition, the man who handed the gun to the woman faces a charge of possession of methamphetamine for sale, authorities said.

Jury in Weinstein case asks judge if it can be hung on two counts The jury in the Harvey Weinstein case has asked whether they can return a hung verdict on two counts of predatory sexual assault, though they have reportedly reached a consensus on the other charges against the mogul. The jury is apparently conflicted regarding the two predatory sexual assault counts regarding alleged victim Annabella Sciorra. They are unanimous regarding the cases of Jessica Mann and Miriam Haleyi, which involve one count of third degree rape, and one count of a criminal sex act, though those verdicts have not been made public yet. The charges of predatory sexual assault are the most serious in the case, potentially carrying a life sentence. Judge James Burke told the jurors to keep deliberating until they had reached agreement after consulting with lawyers from the prosecution and defense. While Weinstein's lawyers were willing to accept the partial verdict, the prosecution was not, and Burke sided with them. The Weinstein trial has been underway for just over a month. Sciorra was the first of the three women to testify, and the jury began Friday's proceedings by listening to a re-reading of her cross-examination before returning to deliberations that have stretched into a fourth day. Also on rt.com As Weinstein verdict comes in, what has #MeToo wrought? Even if Weinstein is not convicted on the most serious charges, he could still end his days in prison. Rape in the first degree and criminal sexual act in the first degree both carry a maximum sentence of 25 years, while rape in the third degree carries up to four years.

Agencies which can apply for a UWO include: the National Crime Agency, Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, the Financial Conduct Authority, the Serious Fraud Office, or the Crown Prosecution Service. But a new law targeting gangsters, corrupt politicians, terrorists and money launderers threatens to strip Ms Hajiyeva of her vast wealth, which the National Crime Agency (NCA) believe was the stolen by her husband from the International Bank of Azerbaijan where he worked. NCA investigators are demanding the 55-year-old explain how can afford her luxury lifestyle including British property worth £22 million, making her the subject of an 'Unexplained Wealth Order' (UWO). The UWO, which is part of the Criminal Finance Act, enables British authorities to freeze and recover the property of individuals who are unable to explain how they acquired assets worth more than £50,000. An UWO can be enforced by the National Crime Agency, Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, the Financial Conduct Authority, the Serious Fraud Office or the Crown Prosecution Service. However Ms Hajiyeva denies her assets are the proceeds of crime, claiming her wealth is the result of husband's skilful investments. She told the High Court in a witness statement: 'My husband was in 2009 a man of substantial means. He was very well off when we married in 1997 and has accumulated capital and wealth since the early 1990's. 'As to the purchase of the property, this was husband's responsibility. I had no knowledge of any of the payments made to purchase the property, our family home, their source or any other details.' She is fighting the NCA all the way. Ms Hajiyeva has instructed a team of highly skilled lawyers, including a £500-an-hour barrister, James Lewis QC, to argue her case in the courts. Hajiyeva has been desperate to keep her name out of the news, with her lawyers asking for all court proceedings to be held in private. However successive judges in the High Court and the Court of Appeal have refused applications to keep her anonymous and Zamira Hajiyeva can today be named for the first time as the subject of Britain's first Unexplained Wealth Order. The National Crime Agency were able to track Mrs Hajiyeva's lavish spending. Court papers revealed three separate loyalty cards were issued to Mrs Hajiyeva, and between September 2006 and June 2016, a total of £16,309,077.87 was spent by the use of the cards under the Harrods Customer Loyalty Rewards Card Scheme. The papers add: 'Enquiries show that a significant number of these cards, namely 35 American Express, Mastercard and Visa cards were issued by the Bank [International Bank of Azerbaijan].' Mrs Hajiyeva was recently spotted walking her Pomeranian dog in the streets close to her house. A neighbour said: 'I've seen her walking her little dog around. But we don't really talk to the neighbours. It's why you buy a house in the area. And it's part of its charm. It is handy for Harrods though.' Manager of the Mill Ride Golf Course said they were not aware of any court action. Robin Greenwood said: 'We have dealing with the parent company but I have never dealt with her [Mrs Hajiyeva]. We don't know anything about this.' The NCA welcomed the news that Mrs Hajiyeva can now be identified. Donald Toon, Director for Economic Crime at the NCA, said: 'The NCA fully supports an open and transparent justice system that helps demonstrate our determination to ensure that the UK is not seen as a soft target for the investment of illicit finance. 'Where we cannot determine a legitimate source for the funds used to purchase assets and prime property it is absolutely right that we ask probing questions to uncover their origin. 'Unexplained wealth orders have the potential to significantly reduce the appeal of the UK as a destination for illicit income. 'They enable the UK to more effectively target the problem of money laundering through prime real estate in London and across the UK, and we will now seek to move further cases to the High Court.'

How to find reliable sources for a comic book? Captain Spark (talk)
Hi Captain Spark! Welcome to the Teahouse. What comic book are you hoping to write about on Wikipedia? As you know, reliable secondary sources are required to have an article on Wikipedia, and those include magazine and newspaper articles and reviews about a comic, which might be your best bets. But, by knowing the name of the comic, we might be able to take a look and see if it passes notability guidelines to have its own article. Thanks for coming to the Teahouse! Missvain (talk)
Kirigi Ka Kahar
Captain Spark, your best bet is probably simply Google, Google News, Google Books, etc., at least in terms of online sources (I don't know whether print-only sources are likely to exist or not?). Cordless Larry (talk)
==Question regarding notability?==
I have been attempting to create my first page of a semi-famous celebrity chef. He has been on Anderson Cooper, personal chef to Janet Jackson, has been featured in two books by Kathy Ireland and Janet Jackson, contributing recipes. He is on the Nutrisystem council, discussed in several articles and shown on television programs and movies. However, there is a question of notability??? How can this possibly be? There are several profiles on wikipedia of far less famous people with little citations?? Why is this so difficult?? Help????? Ignisstatera (talk)
I assume you are referring to Andre Carthen? Please tell us the name of the article when asking questions about it. - Arjayay (talk)
Welcome to the Teahouse, Ignisstatera. I think the problem is that in order to demonstrate notability, we require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic. Most of the sources you have cited only seem to mention Andre Carthen in passing. What you need to provide are sources that discuss him in more depth. I hope that helps. Cordless Larry (talk)

Hello. The answer here is to edit the source. It's how I'm typing this reply to you right now. What I am doing is writing my reply to you underneath what you wrote. I have started my line with a colon ":", which causes my message to be slightly indented to the right - its not absolutely necessary but it helps keep the page nice and ordered. If I wanted to double that indentation (for example, if I was replying to a comment that was already indented), I would start my line with two colons "::". Because this message goes over multiple lines, I have indented each line in the same way.

Soldier on no more: Will coronavirus mark the end of our puritan work culture?
veryone knows the people who come into the office when they are ill - they exist in every workplace. Grown up versions of the children sent to school with snotty noses, tissues pouring out of pockets or a green tint that indicates they've spent the night near a toilet. They're not in the minority: a 2017 study found 70 per cent of British workers - the equivalent of 18m people nationally - would go to work even if they felt ill. The primary reason being that they felt their employer valued company performance over their health. Given long-term statutory sick pay is only £95 per week, perhaps that is a reflection of how seriously we, as a society, take support for those who need time off work for their physical health. But, now that many workers have spent the best part of a year working from home to avoid getting unwell, or spreading illness to others, will we see a cultural shift?

Partly due to this ideology and partly in response to violent actions undertaken by Ustasha and Muslim forces attached to them, Chetniks forces engaged in numerous acts of violence including massacres and destruction of property, and used terror tactics to drive out non-Serb groups. Mihailović's role in such actions is unclear as there is "...no definite evidence that himself ever called for ethnic cleansing. Instructions to his Montenegrin subordinates commanders, Lasic and Djurisic, which prescribe cleansing actions of non-Serb elements in order to create a Great Serbia have been attributed to Mihailović by some historians,; Mulaj, p.42; ) but some historians argue that the document was a forgery made by Djurišić after he failed to reach Mihailović in December of 1941 after the latter was driven out of Ravna Gora by German forces. It is important to note that if a forgery, the document was forged by Chetniks hoping it would be taken as a legitimate order, not by their opponents seeking to discredit the Chetniks. The objectives outlined in the directive were:
Whether or not the instructions were forged, Mihailović was certainly aware of both the ideological goal of cleansing and of the violent acts taken to accomplish that goal. Stevan Moljević worked out the basics of the Chetnik program while at Ravna Gora in the summer of 1941, and Mihailović sent representatives to Conference of Young Chetnik Intellectuals of Montenegro where the basic formulations were expanded. Djurišić played the dominate role at this conference. Relations between Djurišić and Milhailovic were strained, and although Mihailovic did not participate, neither did he take any action to counter it. At his trial in 1946, Mihailović claimed that he never ordered the destruction of Croate and Muslim villages, and some of his subordinates hid such activites from him, but Djurišić, for example, boasted of his actions to Mihailović after leading actions to destroy Muslim villages. ==2nd proposal==
===For the Mihailovic article===
====Terror and cleansing actions====
Chetnik ideology encompassed the notion of a Greater Serbia, to be acheived by forcing population shifts in order to create ethnically homogeneous areas. (Tomasevich, p. 169) Partly due to this ideology and partly in response to violent actions undertaken by Ustaše and Muslim forces attached to them, Chetniks forces engaged in numerous acts of violence including massacres and destruction of property, and used terror tactics to drive out Croatian and Muslim (Bosniak) populations. (Tomasevich, p.259; Hoare, p.148) In Serbia, Chetnik terror was directed exclusively against the Partisans and their families and sympathizers, with numerous general and specific orders being issued with the goal of achieving the complete destruction of the Partisans, regardless of nationality. While in terms of the number of victims, and the cruelty of dispatching them, the Chetnik cleansing actions are not to be compared to the systematic genocide carried out by the Croatian Ustaše, they do constitute activities of the same kind. However, it should also be pointed out that the Ustaše atrocities were undertaken first, and that at least to some extent the Chetnik terrorist activities against the Croatian and Muslim populations were in the nature of a reaction. (Tomasevich, pp.256-261)
Mihalovic's role in such actions is unclear as there is "...no definite evidence that himself ever called for ethnic cleansing." (Malcolm p. 179). Instructions to his Montenegrin subordinates commanders, Lasic and Djurisic, which prescribe cleansing actions of non-Serb elements in order to create a Great Serbia have been attributed to Mihailovic by historians,(Lerner, p 105; Mulaj, p 42; Milazzo, p. 64, Tomasevich, pp.256-261)
In January and again in early February 1943, the Chetnik Supreme Command ordered units gathered in Montenegro to perform what were known as "cleansing actions" against Muslim populations, first in the county of Bijelo Polje in the Sandžak, and then in February in the counties of Čajniče and Foča in southeastern Bosnia, and the county of Pljevlja in the Sandžak. (Tomasevich, pp.256-261) This resulted in an estimated 10,000 Muslim casualties, with nominal Chetnik losses, constituting the "worst" terror campaign against the Bosnian Muslim population undertaken by the Chetnik movement. | 1,013 | null | null | 691,125,724 | "2015-11-17T20:41:22" | Draža Mihailović/ethnic conflict drafts | 2,021 |
FA heaps praise on Gareth Southgate but frets over England's future defence Gareth Southgate will lead England into their first match of the World Cup with his employers at the Football Association praising him as an "exceptional leader" but warning there is a shortage of high-quality defenders coming through the system. As Southgate and his players prepared to fly to Volgograd for the game against Tunisia on Monday, the England manager was acclaimed by Dan Ashworth, the FA's technical director, for helping to return some positivity to the national team in the wake of Euro 2016, Roy Hodgson's departure and Sam Allardyce's brief stint as manager. Ashworth went on to say he would like another Englishman to succeed Southgate in future years, identifying the Under-21s manager Aidy Boothroyd as one contender, and was confident enough to declare that the current team had a realistic chance of winning the World Cup. However, there was also an admission from Boothroyd that the research of English football's governing body had highlighted a problem with the number of top-level defenders in the system. "At St George's Park we map out where the talent is and we might say we've got quite a few number 10s or quite a few number sevens," he said. "I have to say our biggest discussion point with the majority of the teams is defenders. Across all the age groups it's defenders. "When we [the FA] had the Charter for Quality in 1997 we were talking about the fact we didn't have enough creativity. We had no players who were able to keep the ball, who could beat players. And yet I think we've shifted it slightly. We've now got lots of exciting players right the way through to Jadon Sancho at Borussia Dortmund. "Where we perhaps haven't got the depth - maybe not the depth, but the types - is the defenders. Our full‑backs 20 years ago were Stuart Pearce and Gary Neville, and we've got a different type of full-back now - more converted wingers. "I worked with a manager some years ago who talked about the duvet being too short. You can cover your toes but you can't cover your shoulders. I think that's where we were 20 years ago, in that we had lots of defenders but not enough players who were good enough with the ball. "Maybe we've pulled up the duvet and now have lots of players who are good with the ball, but our toes are sticking out." Ashworth went on to praise Southgate for taking on the job at a desperate time in the history of the national team and putting together a younger side, in a new system, that has helped get the English public back on side. "All managers lead in a slightly different way but you'll have seen him work as the Under-21s coach and now the senior coach," Ashworth said. "He's empathetic, he's articulate, he has high emotional intelligence and a really good understanding of connecting with the players and getting the best out of the players - and the staff. "Gareth has brought together a way of working for the players and the staff that makes it one big group. And that's him. That's how he worked with the Under-21s as well, so he has to take credit. Gareth is the leader. The environment is down to Gareth and he is an exceptional leader." Until recently, the FA's executives would have been reluctant to say England can win the World Cup. Now, however, there appears to be a new wave of optimism. "That's what we're here for," Ashworth said. "We've turned up to attack the tournament and try to win it. We want to inspire the nation and we want the nation to be proud of our football team." World Cup Fiver: sign up and get our daily football email. Ashworth's job is to look even further ahead, with the ultimate aim being that England's success at younger levels be replicated by the senior team. That, he said, should not be with a foreign manager in place. "Do I want an English coach to manage the English team? Yes. That is my personal view, and not necessarily the view of the FA, but St George's Park is to help develop [English] players and coaches. We have some good young English coaches [within the FA] such as Steve Cooper, Paul Simpson, Keith Downing, Aidy Boothroyd, who have won things at different levels and the ones working in the game - Lee Johnson, Gary Rowett, Eddie Howe, Sean Dyche - are all talented English coaches." Ashworth added: "I can't tell you who would succeed Gareth Southgate but when it does happen let's hope it is because he has done such a good job that he has been whisked off to Real Madrid."

Artichoker keep undoing my contribution calling it speculation and non notable when I have provided proof on the matter. The dispute is over a small easter egg or feature in the Pokémon Games where in Vermilion City has a Truck located in the port. Though it has had many false rumors about the truck, the truck is real and is one of the only vehicles I know of in the Pokemon games except for the moving van in Sapphire, Rubby, and Emerald. The user has continued to say the information is speculation despite the many references i have posted, even putting a picture of the truck up ek a compromise/consensus whenever possible. :#. You are not always going to win - This is arguably the hardest lesson to learn, because we are all in thrall to the idea that the internet doesn't have to suck in the ways that the real world does. However, we are working with other real people, and their views are valid too. A more extreme way of saying this is that sometimes, you are the the dog, and sometimes you are the fire hydrant. Your view might be a minority opinion in the mainstream without you even knowing it. You might be a little wrong, or the kind of wrong that requires two whole syllables to describe (wrooo-oong!) Some chucklebutt hermit on a mountaintop says that recognizing you are wrong is the first step to learning how to be right. I say that Wikipedia is full of ways to get a larger opinion on a particular problem (Mediation, MedCab, DR, AN/I, ArbCom), and all are available to you. But sometimes you are going to lose, and lose big. Sometimes you don't have the citation you need, or you just don't want the other guy to win because they are moronic ass-clown. When you find yourself feeling that way, step away from the keyboard and go away or a bit. It stings that your version isn't in place, and the wrong one is, but that's life. You can always approach the situation again when someone notable produces a citation that you need to make your point. Don't expend too much frustration on it, or you will burn out. :#. Time is on your side - It really is, as articles are essentially a revolving door for editors who come and go, your consensus can change along with the new editorship. It doesn't matter what last-years' consensus was, you can seek a new one (usually, the unofficial length an older consensus is considered valid is about 3-5 months, after which someone questions the whole thing,and the process starts anew). So, it isn't an all-or-nothing situation. Ever. However, if you get blocked or banned for being an edit-warring, uncivil ass-clown, your chances of having any effect on that consensus drop considerably. :Okay, I am tapped out and tired. I hope some of it sank in. It wasn't my wittiest (that was here, and it was totally ignored, boo-hoo),but I don't think it was the worst advice I've ever offered, either. Have a pleasant evening. - Arcayne (cast a spell)
::In respone to planecrash111 alegations, first of all I am not trying to hide evidence as you claim, I am cleaning up my page of the garbage you posted on it trying to pretend you are an admin or something, second, I have NEVER been accused of vandalism on here and have a long list of page contributions. I do not vandalize pages. Period. And for the last time, the point of contention is the fact that you are changing referenced statistics on a page with unreferenced material. Nascar car's official statistics for starting position are where they qualified, this is in the Nascar rules and regulations. It is a fact. Nearly every race is influenced by changing in starting position at the beggining of the race for nearly every driver, many times at the last moment, making it diffucult to track. I have tried to keep a cool head over this but I have for a long time taken great pride in helping keep the stats on this page and other pages very accurate to the standards that have been set. :::I was not pretending to be an admin. Posting vandalism warnings is not a sign of pretending to be an admin. If i posted a block notice, then I WOULD BE, but was I? NO!! You have been accused of vandalism, but you foolishly removed the warnings to cover up the evidence. You claim to be a Wikipedian for more than 3 years when an investigation by me claims that you have been on for only 8 months. | 1,018 | null | null | 1,049,237,531 | "2021-10-10T17:34:14" | Editor assistance/Requests/Archive 26 | 2,021 |

Strong support for splitting per nom. The article about the fire exists in dozens of languages sans English and is an incredibly important tragedy in the history of world preservationism, not a minor event just in the history of the museum. The arguments for separate articles continue to be confused appeals to the idea the fire "merits its own article" or "is notable", which isn't the question; the question is how the material is best presented
Strong support. This will take a lot of the size out of the museum article itself, and allow for much more and improved prose and WikiCommons media usage. –♠Vami_IV†♠
Support split. To explicitly address the points of NOPAGE:
Comment Why there is a lot of oppose to merge, the articles still boldly merged? Well, i suggest reverting the edit by EEng due to the merge has no consensus and it is not the norm in wiki that merge article without consensus (and with a lot of oppose ). The bureaucratic process of adding vote for split, is not needed.... Matthew hk (talk)
, EEng was absolutely in the wrong to go ahead with the merge in the absence of consensus. If people had been paying more attention, it would have been reverted and they would have been admonished for edit warring. I considered just actioning the prior consensus, but since this fell through the cracks and sat for almost two years, I think we may as well reaffirm the consensus just to remove any doubt. {{u|Sdkb}} talk

Malmo vs Chelsea LIVE: Champions League updates (Action Images via Reuters) Follow live coverage as Chelsea head into their fourth Champions League group stage match looking for another three points which would leave them within touching distance of the knock-out phase, as they face Swedish side Malmo on Tuesday evening. So far, Thomas Tuchel's side have won twice and suffered defeat to group leaders Juventus, who are at home to Dynamo Kyiv this evening - victory for the Blues would likely see a six-point gap between themselves and third place. Domestically, Chelsea beat Newcastle comfortably at the weekend after progressing through to the League Cup quarter-finals a week ago, leaving them on a six-game unbeaten run in all competitions. Malmo have lost just once in a six-game run of their own, but that was against their visitors tonight, in a 4-0 drubbing at Stamford Bridge in the reverse fixture two weeks ago. The Blues still have injury concerns in their forward line with Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner sidelined, while Mateo Kovacic is also out injured to further whittle down Tuchel's squad options until after the upcoming international break. Even so, they'll be heavy favourites to win here. Follow all the latest updates from Malmo vs Chelsea below: Chelsea take on Malmo in the Champions League Malmo XI: Dahlin, Rieks, Rakip, Pena, Colak, Ahmedhodzic, Innocent, L. Nielsen, Brorsso, Berget, Nanasi Chelsea XI: Mendy, Christensen, Thiago Silva, Rudiger, Azpilicueta, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Alonso, Hudson-Odoi, Ziyech, Havertz Show latest update
Malmo 0 - 0 Chelsea 18 mins: Save! A great run from Havertz sees him shift the ball around Soren Rieks and fly into the penalty area from the right wing. He dinks a pass to Ziyech who gets to it before the goalkeeper. The angle to shoot is quite narrow and Ziyech's shot doesn't beat Dahlin who manages to smother it close to the near post. Michael Jones2 November 2021 18:03
Malmo 0 - 0 Chelsea 15 mins: Chance! Chelsea's first real sight at goal comes from Cesar Azpilicueta. Marcos Alonso makes a good run off the ball into the left side of the box and collects a pass on the byline. Azpilicueta comes into the centre of the area and waits for the cutback before hitting a low left-footed shot at Johan Dahlin who fumbles it behind for a corner that comes to nothing for the Blues. Michael Jones2 November 2021 18:00
Malmo 0 - 0 Chelsea 12 mins: Sergio Pena nicks the ball off Chelsea after a poorly timed pass from Loftus-Cheek in the middle of the pitch. The home side swepp forward on the counter-attack with Pena sending the ball up to Antonio Colak. He plays Nanasi into the left side of the box but the ball gets stuck under the striker's own feet and he isn't able to get a shot away before the ball comes to Mendy who tidies up. Michael Jones2 November 2021 17:58
Malmo 0 - 0 Chelsea 9 mins: More slick passing from Chelsea sees the ball come up the pitch from the right side and out to Callum Hudson-Odoi making his way into the left side of the penalty area. He shifts the ball onto his right foot and shoots just as he gets into the box but Nielsen is there to block the effort and clear his lines. Michael Jones2 November 2021 17:55
Malmo 0 - 0 Chelsea 6 mins: The Malmo fans are in full voice as Chelsea play the ball into the middle of the pitch. Hakim Ziyech lets it roll away and almost loses it to a back-tracking Sebastian Nanasi but Loftus-Cheek shoulder barges him away from the ball and gets penalised. Free kick to Malmo. Michael Jones2 November 2021 17:52
Malmo 0 - 0 Chelsea 3 mins: Chelsea win a throw in deep in their own defensive third and work it nicely out from the back. Edouard Mendy passing it out to Andreas Christensen who sends it across to Thiago Silva. He gives the ball to Rudiger who fires one up the pitch and gets Havertz into the box. He turns and looks to shoot but Lasse Nielsen nips across him and both players come together. Haverz goes down in the area looking for a penalty but the referee waves play on and VAR doesn't overrule that decision. Michael Jones2 November 2021 17:50

Tributes paid to cab driver who died of Covid-19 after being spat at A cab driver died with Covid-19 after being spat at by a fare dodger who claimed to have the disease, according to his partner who has written to Boris Johnson to highlight the incident. Trevor Belle, 61, died in hospital last month after testing positive for coronavirus. Weeks earlier, his family say, he was spat at by a passenger who refused to pay £9 and told him: "I've got the coronavirus - and now you've got it, too." Belle's partner of 28 years, Kelly Esqulant, with whom he had three children, intends to provide a statement to the police so they can investigate. Esqulant, 50, a patient transport liaison officer at Newham hospital in London, has also written to the prime minister. An online fundraiser for Belle, who was described by a friend as an ardent Arsenal fan who would "always find a way to get a smile on your face," has raised more than £8,000. Esqulant paid tribute to her partner and praised hospital workers who tried to save his life. "He wasn't a grandad for very long but he would have been a brilliant grandad," she said of Belle. "He was a very inspirational dad. He always taught the kids right from wrong." She said he often worked in excess of 60 hours a week to provide for the family. "He was very strong-minded and very truthful. Everyone knew if you wanted the truth, go to Trevor; if you couldn't handle the truth, don't go to Trevor. He just said it how it is." Esqulant acknowledged the family would probably never know whether the spitting incident led to Belle contracting coronavirus. She said she had written to Johnson after he spoke about a separate incident in which a rail worker, Belly Mujinga, died from Covid-19 after being spat at by a man who said he had the virus. "I don't even know if he [Johnson] would have received it, but I've sent an email explaining what happened to Trevor," Esqulant said. She said she had pleaded with her partner to be careful while working and ensure he wore gloves and masks, which he would change between fares. She said the spitting incident, first reported in the Daily Telegraph, happened at around 12.30pm on 22 March on West Ham Lane in Stratford, east London. Belle told Esqulant the perpetrator was white with an Irish accent, and said he ran off after spitting at him. Belle flagged down a nearby police van and reported the incident, Esqulant says, but he was informed the matter was not worth pursuing for a £9 fare. Esqulant says her partner fell ill with flu-like symptoms four days later and he was hospitalised on 31 March after waking up struggling to breathe. On 18 April, the family were told Belle had died. Esqulant has given her consent for a sample of Belle's blood to be used in a project attempting to sequence the genomes of up to 20,000 Covid-19 patients and victims to help understand how a person's genetic makeup could influence susceptibility to the virus. Results from patients treated in intensive care will be compared with those from 15,000 people who had only mild or moderate symptoms. Belle had type 2 diabetes. Belle's friend Damian Briggs said: "Best way I can describe Trev is just a jovial person who, as serious as life is, would always find a way to get a smile on your face so you can take your mind off the problem." Coughing or spitting could be charged as an assault on an emergency worker - punishable with up to 12 months in prison - or common assault if used against others, according to the Crown Prosecution Service. A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said: "We are aware of media reports that allege a taxi driver, aged in his 60s, was spat at on 22 March in West Ham Lane, E15, at approximately 12.30pm. We continue to look for any police record or report that relates to this incident. Officers will be making attempts to contact his family to explore whether they wish to make a criminal allegation." Meanwhile, union leaders have condemned a "disgusting and frightening" spitting incident at a tube station on Thursday. A man approached staff at Mile End underground station and demanded they open the gate as he did not have a ticket for the barriers, the Transport Salaried Staffs Association said. Staff asked him to step back to a safe distance away, and he became aggressive and swore at an older female customer who had intervened, and spat at her, the union said.

Game of Thrones hackers demand ransom Image copyright HBO Image caption The leaks have been released prior to the broadcast of new Game of Thrones series seven episodes Hackers who have leaked Game of Thrones scripts and other data from entertainment company HBO have released a note demanding a ransom payment. In a new dump, they also published a script for the as yet unbroadcast fifth episode of the current series. Company documents and video episodes of other HBO shows were also shared. The hackers claim to have 1.5TB of data in total, but HBO has said it does not believe its email system has been compromised. Documents in the latest leak were marked "HBO is falling," according to the Wired news site, and included legal information, employment agreements and other company files. The Associated Press reports that some documents appeared to contain personal contact information for Game of Thrones actors. The ransom note featured in a video containing scrolling text, addressed to HBO chief executive Richard Plepler. However, the hackers have not made public how much they want. "Our demand is clear and non-negotiable: we want XXXX dollars to stop leaking your data," the redacted note reads. "HBO spends $12m for market research and $5m for [Game of Thrones series seven] advertisements. So consider us another budget for your advertisements." It was signed: "Mr Smith." Although the note is not dated, it gives HBO a deadline of three days to make the payment. The broadcaster has said it continues to investigate the incident.

But some opposition figures say the best option now is for former government officials who have remained in Kabul to secure a political agreement with the Taliban. "This is the only hope we have," said negotiator Fatima Gailani, referring to the talks underway in Kabul. Gailani, who was part of the team that represented the Afghan government in peace talks before the Taliban seized Kabul, said a political settlement was crucial to maintaining international aid and preventing Afghanistan from descending further into poverty. The talks in Kabul unfolded as mayhem continued to engulf the Kabul airport. A firefight at an airport gate involving U.S. and German forces killed an Afghan guard and injured three others Monday, the German military said in a tweet. The incident started when "an unknown hostile actor fired upon Afghan security forces involved in monitoring access to the gate," said U.S. military spokesman Capt. William Urban. Military and commercial aircraft have flown about 28,000 people out of the country since the Taliban takeover, President Joe Biden said Sunday. In the 24-hour period ending Monday morning, more than 10,400 were evacuated, the White House said, reflecting a quickening pace. While most evacuees were initially flown to Qatar, where they have been largely housed in an Air Force hangar, the list of havens is growing. More than 6,700 had arrived at the U.S. Ramstein Air Base in Germany as of Monday, according to a military spokesman. When an Afghan woman went into labor midflight on one of the C17 transport planes, the pilot reduced altitude to increase air pressure in the packed cargo hold. Medics helped deliver the baby girl shortly after landing.

(Gary Coronado / Los Angeles Times) Nearly all of the world's top tequila companies - Jose Cuervo is a notable exception - are owned by foreign companies. Connoisseurs grumble that the taste of those brands, which include Sauza, Cazadores and Herradura, has declined with the advent of ever-more efficient industrialization, including the diffuser, which cooks agave even more rapidly than an autoclave. A worker agitates sweet agave juice that will later be fermented with yeast at Cascahuin Tequila distillery. (Gary Coronado / Los Angeles Times) Growing American demand has been a key part of the transformation. Last year, 72% of all tequila produced was exported to the United States. At least 700 new brands have been registered over the last four years, and more are coming, said Grover Sanschagrin, an American who with his wife, Scarlet, co-founded Tequila Matchmaker. "We get phone calls and emails constantly from people saying, "We're making our own brand," he said. "It's almost like a checklist, like, "Oh, yeah, we got our distribution figured out. We got our celebrity."" The couple's collection of several hundred tequilas includes many celebrity brands, most of which are not even sold in Mexico. They don't love most, but enjoy a few, including Mala Vida, which is owned by the Mexican rock band Maná. "A celebrity can come here, make a great tequila," Scarlet Sanschagrin said. "It just depends on what kind of partner they're choosing and what the process is." She thinks the recent attacks on Jenner's brand were sexist. "Gringos have been making tequila forever," she said, noting that former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar founded his Cabo Wabo tequila in 1996 before selling it for $80 million in 2007. "There's a long line of men that came before Kendall Jenner that nobody ever said a word about."
As morning fog drifted over a sprawling field of agave a few minutes outside of Tequila, a dozen men in wide-brim hats bent over orderly rows of plants, whacking weeds that had sprouted during recent rains. Guadalupe Ramos Santos uses a coa, a special knife, to cut the leaves on an agave plant. (Gary Coronado / Los Angeles Times) One of them was Armando Gonzalez Castillo, who grew up in these fields, working with his father every day after school. At 17, he left Mexico, frustrated by the low pay. He went to Colorado and spent 15 years in construction before he was deported earlier this year. Returning to Tequila for the first time a few months ago, Gonzalez was shocked by the number of tourists packing the city center with their oversized tequila cocktails - and the town's seeming prosperity. This was his first day back in the fields since 2006, and, although it was a far cry from the $200 a day he had earned in Colorado, he was glad to learn that the pay had doubled from $7.50 per six-hour shift to around $15. The gains for agave plantation owners have been far larger, as over the last decade the price per kilo has climbed from less than a penny to as much as $30. "Every plant is a business," said Ruben Ravelero, who was helping oversee the workers that day. But he worried that the boom would backfire. Plants have long been considered mature enough to cook at around 8 years old, but are now being pulled as young as 4, before they have fully sweetened. There are also growing environmental concerns. Tequila-making requires a lot of water and produces a great deal of waste, and agave fields are encroaching on what was once wild land. Ravelero pointed to the steep side of a nearby hill, where guava trees and nopal plants had once flourished and now only agave grew. He was a child when his father taught him how to grow agave, planting it next to beans, squash and peanuts, a farming technique meant to mimic the diversity of nature. He sees the short-term benefits of increased tequila production but worries that the growing monoculture, as well as the use of pesticides, could eventually ruin the industry.

In an interview on Thursday night, Mr Giuliani said that he was aware of "conversations" between US and Ukrainian officials about a statement that would commit the Ukrainians to "investigate everything, including Burisma." But Mr Giuliani stressed that "to my knowledge, it was never put out." The New York Times reported earlier that Mr Volker and US ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland drafted the statement for Ukraine's president. CNN later reported that the draft originated with the Ukrainians and was shared with Mr Volker, Mr Sondland and Mr Giuliani. Watch more The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Mr Volker did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Mr Volker also told lawmakers on Thursday that he and other State Department officials cautioned the Ukrainians to steer clear of US politics. Getting involved, he said he told them, would open the nation to allegations that it was interfering in an American election and could be detrimental to Ukraine long-term, according to these two individuals. Mr Volker faced hours of questioning on Thursday from members of the House committees leading an impeachment inquiry into Mr Trump, the first of five former and current State Department officials to testify as part of the probe. In discussing Mr Giuliani's sources, Mr Volker specifically mentioned former Ukrainian prosecutor general Yuri Lutsenko, a controversial figure in Ukrainian politics due in part to his battles with the country's anti-corruption bureau. Andrew Weiss, the vice president for studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said trusting Mr Lutsenko was a risky move given his status as a "discredited Ukrainian law enforcement figure." "This is Ukraine politics 101," Mr Weiss said. Mr Volker was named in the whistleblower complaint as the diplomat who set up a meeting between Mr Giuliani and a top adviser to Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, amid Mr Trump's effort to compel an investigation of the Bidens. House investigators asked Mr Volker if that pressure included withholding a leader-level meeting with Mr Zelensky and about $400m (£324m) in military aid from the country, those familiar with the meeting said. Mr Volker acknowledged, these people said, that the Trump administration had extended an invitation to Mr Zelensky shortly after his election in the spring and that it was later withdrawn. He told House investigators that Mr Trump's delay in meeting Mr Zelensky and the decision to halt military aid deeply concerned Ukrainian officials, who view Washington as a critical ally against Russia, the people familiar with his testimony said. Mr Volker said on Thursday that he was never given an explanation about the aid suspension, which analysts called striking. | 995 | null | 2019-12-31 00:00:00 | null | null | null | null |
Robert Karvelas (April 3, 1921 – December 5, 1991) was an American actor. He was best known for his role as Larabee in the television series Get Smart (1965–1970). == Biography ==
Karvelas was born in New York City with a twin brother and grew up in Charleroi, Pennsylvania. His mother was of Irish descent and his father was of Greek descent. His mother and Don Adams' mother were sisters. Karvelas was a Golden Gloves boxing champion while serving in the United States Marines during World War II and later worked as a stockbroker. Wanting his cousin to remain close to him, Adams initially gave Karvelas several uncredited bit parts on Get Smart. One such part was an assistant to the Chief, which would evolve into the character of Larabee. Karvelas actually ended up appearing in all five seasons of the show. The character "Larabee" would go on to have the distinction of being just as bumbling as Maxwell Smart, if not more so. In Episode 21, Season 5, Smart tells the Chief, "People ask if Larabee and I are related." Robert's character part, and his generally sweet, unassuming nature, enhanced the joviality of Get Smart. After the cancellation of Get Smart, Karvelas again joined his cousin Adams on the sitcom, The Partners, which starred Adams and Rupert Crosse and co-starred Dick Van Patten. The show was cancelled after one season. He continued to appear in small bit parts on television before dropping out of acting in 1976. He reprised the character of Larrabee in The Nude Bomb and Get Smart, Again! Karvelas died in 1991 in Los Angeles and was buried at Riverside National Cemetery in Riverside, California. ==Filmography==

"This time it was the chamber [of commerce] folks that got a jump on it, and were proactive about creating a solution - and I think it would've passed," Harris said. "And I just think this is an opportunity for advocates and the progressive community to come up with their own solution and regain the initiative on this." But Tiffani McCoy, who has helped lead the coalition against the measure as an advocacy director, said Compassion Seattle would have just been business as usual when it comes to the encampments. Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan has been ramping up removals of encampments through the year. "What this would actually do is enshrine the status quo of Jenny Durkan's policy on sweeps," McCoy said. Durkan has not taken a stance on the measure. Though it's likely dead, Compassion Seattle will also certainly still influence some who opposed it. Harold Odom, who lives in a tiny house village in Georgetown and co-chairs the Regional Homelessness Authority's implementation board, said even though he likes Harrell and is not impressed by González's track record on homelessness policy, González didn't support the measure, and that's good enough for him. "Compassion Seattle is a central part of [Harrell's] campaign - homelessness fatigue," Odom said, but when it comes to the now-dead measure and its proponents, "their compassion is not compassion. It's trying to criminalize, in the long run, homelessness."

John Bolton is scary because much of the establishment agrees with him By Robert Moore The appointment of Ambassador John Bolton as the new national security advisor to President Trump caused significant concerns in foreign policy circles about what such a hardliner would mean for delicate negotiations with countries like Iran and North Korea and how our diplomatic relations would fare under the influence of a unilateralist who disdains international organizations. Given Trump's lack of experience in foreign policy, no one yet knows exactly what influence the notably hawkish advisor will have on a president who once promised his supporters that he would rein in American interventions abroad. Yet of all of Bolton's well-known opinions, the one that carries the largest risk for the United States is the one that is least controversial in Washington: Support for the continued enlargement of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). On this issue, Bolton fits comfortably within the bipartisan mainstream consensus of the last 25 years. There are few political leaders in the past decades who actively opposed NATO enlargement; even last year's standby Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, against Montenegro's membership was more of a statement on their annoyance at the Senate's ritualistic rubber stamping than a policy fight. When it comes to the issue of NATO enlargement, politicians in the modern era often simply appeal to American's belief in freedom and representative democracy. Bolton, hardly known for his doveishness, has himself pleading the case of the downtrodden who only desire Western ideals and protection. But American leaders need to be more realistic about the effects of NATO enlargement. The eastward push of the NATO alliance has never sat well with Russia: In the 1990s, the fledgling and ineffective post-communist government in Moscow was unable to do more than protest NATO enlargementto areas that had been in the Soviet "sphere of influence." But after Vladimir Putin consolidated and strengthened the Russian government, he undertook military modernization initiatives just as NATO started extending membership to countries with deeper historical and cultural ties to Russia, including nations on the Russian border like Ukraine and Georgia. The inevitable friction boiled over in 2008, when Russia invaded a western-friendly Georgia in an attempt to force a settlement over the separatist Georgian region of South Ossetia that suited Russian regional concerns. Any lingering doubt that Moscow would continue taking military action to defend what they deemed their national interests should have been dispelled six years later, when the Russian government began lending military support to pro-Russian factions in eastern Ukraine. Clearly, the Russian government deemed Ukraine's potential realignment with the West a significant enough threat that drastic and provocative intervention was deemed warranted, including the full annexation of the Crimean Peninsula - an unprecedented military action in post-Cold War Europe. Russia correctly determined that there are limits to Washington's idealism in foreign policy; despite our rhetoric about democracy and freedom, Ukraine means more to Russia than it does to the West. And the U.S. wisely did not challenge Russia in a proxy war that we were not willing to actively fight. American misgivings about the morality of Russian activities abroad and way that they define their national interests are overall not relevant to actual outcomes; there are simply certain boundaries that Russia won't abide the West crossing without a response and, in those areas, the issue usually means more to them than it does to us. Yet for most in the Washington foreign policy circles, the acceptable response to the Russian military presence in either Georgia or Ukraine was to double-down on calls to guarantee these countries' security, without any regard for our own security and national interests. For instance, despite the fact the U.S. had no defense agreements with Georgia and no strategic economic interests there, Bolton castigatedthe Bush administration (in which he had previously served) as "paper tigers" for America's failure to intervene in 2008. And then, in the aftermath of the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014, Bolton repeated the call for Ukraine to join NATO and put pressure on Russia to retreat. If the United States chooses to follow the counsel of Bolton and others in the idealism-driven foreign policy establishment on NATO enlargement, we will be playing a risky game with an opponent who has stronger incentives to win on the issue - a worrying circumstance in which to find ourselves. There may well be other dangers in the appointment of the president's new national security advisor, but it certainly perilous to have an entire ruling class in unquestioning support of his most reckless policies. Robert Moore is a policy advisor for Defense Priorities. He has spent nearly a decade working defense and foreign policy issues on Capitol Hill. He most recently served as the lead staffer for Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, on the Senate Armed Services Committee and previously worked for Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., and Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C. Opinions expressed in View articles are not those of euronews.

I found that off-putting; in that moment, Feffer seemed a little too focused on his own perspective as an outsider and an American. After leaving his group in Gwangju, he tells the audience, he "prefers to be with the ones who roams freely," and adds, to laughter, "I'd rather be on a stage by myself." I got that. But it might have helped the audience to explain - perhaps in a South Korean voice - that the activists focusing on US and South Korean war crimes may have been trying to overcome decades of anti-communist propaganda claiming that the DPRK was the only villain in Korea's division and during the counterinsurgency wars that raged on the peninsula from the late 1940s through the Korean War. At the same time, Feffer missed an opportunity in this scene to remind audiences that South Korea, too, has experienced the terror of "murderous dictators." In fact, their history in surviving authoritarian, repressive governments is something that leads many South Koreans to believe that their kin in the DPRK may someday overcome, just as they did in 1987, when mass resistance ushered in South Korea's flowering of democracy. I also felt that Feffer might have hinted in his concluding scenes at what motivated Kim Jong-un and the DPRK to engage and negotiate with the hated United States, and how some of his experiences and proposals during his visits 20 years ago worked out. In one Q&A session, for instance, Feffer said that North Korean bureaucrats eventually did take up his suggestion for an exchange with American medical professionals and architects. Why, I asked him later, didn't he mention that, after spending an entire scene recalling his exchange with the Russian-speaking bureaucrat? "That was a way to step outside our roles in the actual drama," he explained. "It struck me when I was there how theatrical North Korea is," and how officials are always "playing their roles for foreigners." And that's probably why Trump has been successful in engaging Kim and taking the talks as far as he has, he suggested. "Trump stepped outside those roles. So, the rules of the theater have changed." Feffer has changed them, too. In the end, his play, and the shifting perspectives of his characters, is a marvelous vehicle to help Americans understand what makes North Korea tick and why making peace is going to take years, even decades - and yet is the right thing to do. If you go, walk in with an open mind, take it all in, and ask plenty of questions. More than most commentators, Feffer knows that the key to ending the decades of enmity between North Korea and America is true engagement - with Korea, with ourselves, and with our own history. Next Stop: North Korea, written and performed by John Feffer and directed by Angela Kay Pirko, runs at the DC Arts Center until March 24.

Jim Cramer reviews the top 10 stocks on the 'Cramer Covid-19 Index' CNBC's Jim Cramer on Monday reviewed the top 10 performing stocks in his basket of 100 equities where investors can find returns during the tough trading environment. The "Mad Money" host, who introduced his "Cramer Covid-19 Broad Index" in late April composed mostly of health, technology and safety companies to make a case for individual stock picking in lieu of index fund investing, said the broad S&P index is tough to own due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on vast swaths of industries. "[W]hen it comes to the pandemic, the components of the Cramer-Covid Index are part of the solution. They're not getting hurt, they're helping," he said. "That's a big difference versus much of the S&P 500, where you've got a lot of stocks that are coronavirus roadkill." The comments came after the stock market completed a mixed day of stock trading, with the Dow Jones slipping 109 points, or 0.45%, to almost 24,222, the S&P 500 bumping up 0.01% to 2,930 and the Nasdaq Composite gaining 0.78% to 9,192. In comparison, the Cramer Covid-19 Broad Index rallied 1.7% to 129 during the trading day. The $11 trillion index has gained 5.8% since its April 27 inception, Cramer noted. "Remember, there's nothing irrational about these rallies," Cramer said. "The stay-at-home names are simply the right stocks for this difficult moment." Below are his remarks on the top performers since the inception of the "Cramer Covid-19 Broad Index." Peloton Interactive: up 34.9% in the past two weeks, 50.7% year to date "The best performer is one of the most... hated stocks in the entire market," Cramer said, flagging that "9% of the float [is] sold short, but this maker of connected exercise machines is a perfect fit for the stay-at-home economy." Moderna: up 32.5%, 242% year to date "[T]he whole world's relying on Moderna to give us a COVID vaccine before the end of the year," he said. "I'm skeptical. The record for fastest vaccine development is four years and Moderna's never taken one of these to market before, but if they can do it, the stock's going to keep exploding higher." Livongo Health: up 30.8%, 113.9% year to date Livongo Health is a "remarkable personal health platform that helps people with chronic illnesses manage their conditions," such as diabetes, hypertension and obesity, "three of the biggest risk factors that can make Covid-19 fatal," Cramer said. Everbridge: up 30.1%, 98.6% year to date "Everbridge is a cloud-based software company that helps businesses and governments handle critical event management - think disaster response, including pandemic response," Cramer said, adding that "they serve 8 of the 10 largest cities in America, along with 9 of the top 10 investment banks, 9 of the 10 largest health-care providers [and] 46 of our largest airports. Everbridge owns this market." Coupa Software: up 28.2%, 43% year to date "With millions of Americans setting up their own home offices, you better believe all sorts of businesses are in dire need of... expense management software, which is Coupa's bread and butter," the host said. DexCom: up 26.8% from April 27, 92.6% year to date DexCom is a "remarkable company that makes continuous glucose monitors for diabetics," Cramer said. "There's no need to repeatedly prick your finger to test your blood sugar levels. It's the gold standard." Cloudflare: up 20.8%, 64.8% year to date Cloudflare is a "cloud-based software company that helps businesses smoothly and securely run their websites," Cramer said. "Needless to say, it's exactly the kind of business that works when so many more things need to be handled online or at home." Square: up 20.8%, 19.7% year to date "This one's complicated, as many of Square's brick-and-mortar clients have been obliterated here," he said. "But in addition to the normal payments biz, Square also has a digital peer-to-peer payments app" called Square Cash "that's on fire."

The Ambassador of Australia to Italy and Permanent Representative of Australia to the Food and Agriculture Organization is an officer of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the head of the Embassy of the Commonwealth of Australia to the Republic of Italy in Rome. The position has the rank and status of an Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary and holds non-resident accreditation for Albania (1992–2004; since 3 July 2013), Libya (1978–1987; since 2002), and San Marino (since 1995) as a non-resident ambassador. The Ambassador also serves as Australia's delegate to the UN Agencies in Rome as Permanent Representative to the Food and Agriculture Organization (since 1951) and as representative to the World Food Programme (since 1961). ==Posting history==
Australia and Italy have enjoyed diplomatic relations since November 1949, when a legation was established in Rome and the first Minister, C.V. Kellway presented his credentials to President Luigi Einaudi on 24 November 1949. On 4 January 1978 Australia established diplomatic relations with the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, but relations were cut by Prime Minister Bob Hawke in May 1987 owing to the Gaddafi regime's "covert operations in the South Pacific". Relations were not restored until June 2002 and recognition was transferred after the Libyan Civil War on 9 June 2011 to the National Transitional Council. Although Australia has had diplomatic relations with Albania since 1985, accreditation has only been held by the Ambassador in Rome since 3 July 2013, when accreditation was transferred from the Embassy in Athens. The embassy in Rome had previously held accreditation to Albania from 1992 to 2004. Since 1968 the ambassador has been assisted by a consulate-general in Milan run by Austrade. ==Office-holders==

That's a pretty extreme form of protest about anything. The majority of practicing Buddhists that I have met are in fact, more calm and disciplined than most other people. This is because practicing Buddhists meditate very often. I have also met Catholic monks who meditate, too (they call it "prayer," although it is very similar to meditation because they are concentrating in silence for long periods). They are also very peaceful. Anyone who meditates (including, for example, Christians) will be able to control their emotions and clear their mind of un-necessary (i.e., immature) thoughts. Another factor is the Noble Eightfold Path: (1) knowledge of the truth; (2) the intention to resist evil; (3) saying nothing to hurt others; (4) respecting life, morality, and property; (5) holding a job that does not injure others; (6) striving to free one's mind of evil; (7) controlling one's feelings and thoughts; and (8) practicing proper forms of concentration. New converts to Buddhism usually join because they already agree with these principles. Violent and restless people don't gravitate toward Buddhism. Having said these things, Buddhists are still human beings. They can never be perfect. The more devout and experienced the Buddhist, the greater their discipline. The most disciplined Buddhists, especially those who claim to have achieved enlightenment, have complete control over their bodies and minds. They can tolerate anything you throw at them, including torture. The core teaching of buddhism is that all suffering stems from attachment to "unrealities". If you approach a Buddhist monk and insult his mother, try to bully him, or etc, the monk should (ideally) recognize that your actions are not "real": i.e., your statements about his mother are untrue and designed to inflame, your attempts at bullying are based in unreal conceptions of authority and social interactions, and both stem from your own misunderstanding of the true nature of reality. He should, in fact, feel compassion towards you because you are so thoroughly lost in your own suffering that you feel the need to try to inflict suffering on others. How it actually pans out is a function of his meditation practice, his current state of mind, and etc. - even those who are enlightened are not enlightened all the time. Torture is effectively the same, with the distinction that physical pain (like pleasure and other sensations) is real. Ideally a practicing monk would experience the pain of being tortured without being attached to the outcome. in fact, the real 'torture' part of torture has less to do with the physical pain than with the fears and hopes that people cling to while being tortured - torturers want to put their victims in a place where they believe their only escape (attachment of hope) from further torture (attachment of fear) lies in cooperating with the torturer. In medieval Japan, some Buddhist monasteries took an active military role during periods of political disintegration and breakdown of law and order. Currently, some Buddhist monks in Sri Lanka have the reputation of being aggressive and militant supporters of Sinhalese nationalism. AnonMoos (talk)
"Indifference" doesn't seem like the right word, as it implies not responding. The Buddhists I've met who have been practicing intensely for years are all extremely engaged in the world. What's the point of compassion if you don't do anything about it? How would one of these people react if you deliberately insulted them? Who knows. Perhaps a punch in the face is exactly what you need. Pfly (talk)

But some Buddhist monks were so offended by what was happening in war-time Vietnam that they self-immolated. It seemed to happen once a month for a few years back then (late 60s-ish, early 70s-ish).

Boeing CEO waived pay but still got compensation worth $21 million Boeing CEO David Calhoun declined a salary and performance bonus for most of last year but still received stock benefits that pushed the estimated value of his compensation to more than $21 million, according to a regulatory filing Friday. The aerospace giant struggled last year with the continuing fallout from two deadly crashes involving its 737 Max jetliner and a downturn in demand for planes because of the pandemic. Boeing lost nearly $12 billion and announced plans to cut about 30,000 jobs through layoffs and attrition. Calhoun, who became CEO in January 2020, received $269,231 in salary for the period before he disavowed his salary in March.

It was out of this mixed heritage of both Greek and Near Eastern book collections that the idea for the Library of Alexandria was born. The Macedonian kings who succeeded Alexander the Great as rulers of the Near East wanted to promote Hellenistic culture and learning throughout the known world. Historian Roy MacLeod calls this "a programme of cultural imperialism". These rulers, therefore, had a vested interest to collect and compile information from both the Greeks and from the far more ancient kingdoms of the Near East. Libraries enhanced a city's prestige, attracted scholars, and provided practical assistance in matters of ruling and governing the kingdom. Eventually, for these reasons, every major Hellenistic urban center would have a royal library. The Library of Alexandria, however, was unprecedented because of the scope and scale of the Ptolemies' ambitions; unlike their predecessors and contemporaries, the Ptolemies wanted to produce a repository of all knowledge. == Under Ptolemaic patronage ==
=== Founding ===
The Library was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world, but details about it are a mixture of history and legend. The earliest known surviving source of information on the founding of the Library of Alexandria is the pseudepigraphic Letter of Aristeas, which was composed between 180 and 145 BC. It claims the Library was founded during the reign of Ptolemy I Soter ( 323– 283 BC) and that it was initially organized by Demetrius of Phalerum, a student of Aristotle who had been exiled from Athens and taken refuge in Alexandria within the Ptolemaic court. Nonetheless, the Letter of Aristeas is very late and contains information that is now known to be inaccurate. Other sources claim that the Library was instead created under the reign of Ptolemy I's son Ptolemy II Philadelphus (283–246 BC). Modern scholars agree that, while it is possible that Ptolemy I may have laid the groundwork for the Library, it probably did not come into being as a physical institution until the reign of Ptolemy II. By that time, Demetrius of Phalerum had fallen out of favor with the Ptolemaic court and could not, therefore, have had any role in establishing the Library as an institution. Stephen V. Tracy, however, argues that it is highly probable that Demetrius played an important role in collecting at least some of the earliest texts that would later become part of the Library's collection. In around 295 BC, Demetrius may have acquired early texts of the writings of Aristotle and Theophrastus, which he would have been uniquely positioned to do, since he was a distinguished member of the Peripatetic school. The Library was built in the Brucheion (Royal Quarter) as part of the Mouseion. Its main purpose was to show off the wealth of Egypt, with research as a lesser goal, but its contents were used to aid the ruler of Egypt. The exact layout of the library is not known, but ancient sources describe the Library of Alexandria as comprising a collection of scrolls, Greek columns, a walk, a room for shared dining, a reading room, meeting rooms, gardens, and lecture halls, creating a model for the modern university campus. A hall contained shelves for the collections of papyrus scrolls known as bibliothekai (βιβλιοθῆκαι). According to popular description, an inscription above the shelves read: "The place of the cure of the soul." === Early expansion and organization ===
The Ptolemaic rulers intended the Library to be a collection of all knowledge and they worked to expand the Library's collections through an aggressive and well-funded policy of book purchasing. They dispatched royal agents with large amounts of money and ordered them to purchase and collect as many texts as they possibly could, about any subject and by any author. Older copies of texts were favored over newer ones, since it was assumed that older copies had undergone less copying and that they were therefore more likely to more closely resemble what the original author had written. This program involved trips to the book fairs of Rhodes and Athens. According to the Greek medical writer Galen, under the decree of Ptolemy II, any books found on ships that came into port were taken to the library, where they were copied by official scribes. The original texts were kept in the library, and the copies delivered to the owners. The Library particularly focused on acquiring manuscripts of the Homeric poems, which were the foundation of Greek education and revered above all other poems. The Library therefore acquired many different manuscripts of these poems, tagging each copy with a label to indicate where it had come from. | 997 | null | null | 1,058,526,707 | "2021-12-04T02:46:36" | Library of Alexandria | 2,021 |
Ayanna Pressley: US congresswoman reveals alopecia diagnosis Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Ayanna Pressley said that 'as a Black woman, the personal is political' US congresswoman Ayanna Pressley has revealed she is completely bald because of the hair-loss condition alopecia. The Massachusetts Democrat told The Root that she started noticing her hair was falling out last autumn. She eventually went totally bald in December, the night before Congress voted to impeach Donald Trump. Sharing the video on social media, Ms Pressley later said: "As a Black woman, the personal is political. My hair story is no exception." Ms Pressley, 45, is a member of the so-called "Squad" of four progressive Democratic congresswomen of colour. In an interview with The Root website, Ms Pressley said she first got her signature hairstyle - Senegalese twist - four years ago. "I was very aware this hairstyle could be - would be - filtered and interpreted by some as a political statement that was militant," she said in the video. "People said: 'People will think you're angry', and I said: 'Well they already think that.'" Over the years, she said, it became a symbol of representation and power for young African-American girls. Image copyright The Root Image caption Ayanna Pressley removed her wig for the first time in public Ms Pressley added: "My twists had become such a synonymous and conflated part of not only my personal identity and how I show up in the world, but my political brand. "That's why I think it's important that I'm transparent about this new normal, and living with alopecia." Later in the video, she took off her wig - revealing her baldness for the first time in public. After the video was published, viewers, activists and colleagues tweeted their support of Ms Pressley - including her fellow "Squad" congresswomen, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib. Alopecia affects about a third of women of African descent, according to a study published in the medical journal Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology. Another study, published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology last year, found that African-Americans were more likely to experience alopecia than other ethnic group in the US. The most common form of the condition affecting black women is traction alopecia, which is caused by hair being stressed at the roots. Other forms of the condition include alopecia areata, which causes patches of baldness; alopecia totalis, which causes total baldness on the head; and alopecia universalis, which leads to complete hair loss all over a person's body. About 6.8 million people in the US are believed to have alopecia, according to the US-based National Alopecia Areata Foundation.

App lets you change color of lights on NYC skyscrapers The latest exclusive app to hit New York's app market is Spireworks, an invite-only application that allows its users to instantly change the lights on skyscrapers. The app users - who are mainly wealthy Manhattanites- have control over the lights on two central buildings, One Bryant Park - the Bank of America Tower - and 4 Times Square after sunset and before 2 am. The mastermind behind this is Mark Domino, the son-in-law of Douglas Durst, whose organization owns both buildings. The app - launched in 2010 - now boasts 10,000 users. To get access, one must be invited by user, who has a limited number of invitations. On special occasions, those using the app are able to manipulate the lights on One World Trade Center too. Perhaps the only limits these users have is the color they can use. Every night, there is a specific color palette available to users. 'What is more powerful than getting control of the city?' asked Vincent Bruneau, a CEO of a corporate-meeting app who uses the app. 'It's kind of supernatural.' Other users are placed in a queue and are given a wait time if there is someone already using the app to change the lights. When they are put in the control seat, many of them show off their power to their social media following. One of such users - whose instagram name was angelinaamerica - showed herself changing the lights of the two buildings, using a wide range of colors, from red to a teal blue. The app may have served more than one use for others. A large number of people have tried to use it to impress their dates - although these users haven't always been successful. 'I ended up having to try to impress the girls the old-fashioned way,' one user said. Others have even used the app to announce the gender of babies they are expecting.

Casey was 15th the last time the US Open visited Winged Foot, in 2006. That tournament is best remembered for horrible 72th-hole blunders of Phil Mickelson and Colin Montgomerie. Casey watched that all unfold from the clubhouse. Geoff Ogilvy's victory was at five over par. "Tiger missing the cut that week was such a big moment," Casey says. "He never missed the cut. Geoff never really got the credit for it, everyone remembers other people messing up. "US Opens of that era were not enjoyable. If you got anything out of them, it was pride that you managed to negotiate four rounds while keeping your sanity. This one will be interesting because maybe it will be back to the early 2000"s. Pebble Beach last year was a fantastic setup but some would argue that lacks the typical USGA test, bringing people to their knees." Casey concedes the delivery of faircourses is perennially tricky. The point is subjective. He also understands attritional tests favour experienced players. "Maybe 15-20 years ago I would have bitched, now I don't care," he says. "I'll be the one sitting back watching everyone else complain. I haven't seen anybody lose a ball since we got back to playing but maybe Winged Foot will be the place if there aren't many marshals out there. I read they have watered and fertilised the rough. I like the easy courses where everyone shoots 65 but I have a better chance when it is tough. " The Fiver: sign up and get our daily football email. Casey has been candid about his battles adapting to spectator-free environments. The US Open will take place without galleries; a scenario that seems destined to continue for a few months yet. "It is better at the bigger events, you can feel more energy there," he says. "I didn't quite realise how much I fed off everything, the loudness and craziness. I miss it, it is kind of soulless. Suddenly you ask why you do it. "I like being able to stand there in front of X amount of people and be like "Watch this. Look what I can do." Sometimes it goes wrong but you can have a laugh about that. It's theatre and I miss that. I haven't felt nervous on a first tee in months." One wonders about Casey's sensation should he find himself in a position at Winged Foot like Mickelson or Montgomerie. That spectacle would be fascinating and, perhaps, just reward for a career that has quietly turned full circle. Paul Casey is an ambassador for Porsche, who facilitated this interview.

Guatemala and Honduras sided with Trump on Jerusalem. Here's why. MEXICO CITY - Amid the roar of condemnation over the Trump administration's stance on Jerusalem, there were bleats of support from far-flung corners of the world. In the vote at the United Nations last week on whether to condemn the decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, Micronesia sided with the United States along with an archipelago of geopolitically obscure outposts: the Marshall Islands, Togo, Nauru, Palau. And then there was a pair of allies closer to home - Guatemala and Honduras, the only two countries in Latin America to support the U.S. move. [U.N. resoundingly rejects U.S. decision on Jerusalem in pointed rebuke] Guatemala followed up its U.N. vote by announcing this week that it would follow Trump's lead and move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a decision that has caused a backlash in the region and beyond. Jordan's foreign minister described it as an "absurd provocation." Bolivian President Evo Morales, a veteran critic of the United States, wrote Monday on Twitter that Guatemala had "sold its dignity to the empire to not lose the crumbs from USAID." After the vote on Jerusalem, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, invited those countries who didn't condemn Washington to come to a reception to thank them for their "friendship to the United States." Guatemala and Honduras have a lot to lose by upsetting the Trump administration, as the crackdown on illegal immigration has raised the prospect of more deportations, and regional trade and foreign aid have been called into question. But analysts see their actions last week as more than just attempts to curry favor with Washington. Both countries have long-standing ties to Israel and are facing domestic challenges that are helped by aligning with conservatives in the United States and Israel. Guatemalan President James Morales, a former television comedian and an evangelical Christian, relies on the support of his country's influential evangelical community, which has consistently advocated for Israel's right to have Jerusalem as its capital, considering it a biblical issue as much as a political one. As the Israeli newspaper Haaretz recently noted, Morales's first visit outside the Americas as president, in 2016, was to Israel, where he received an honorary doctorate and the two countries signed agreements on agriculture and science. In addition, Israel gave military aid to the government for its fight against leftist guerrillas during Guatemala's civil war in the 1980s. Conservative members of the Guatemalan military remain key supporters of Morales. "He's trying to please his political base," said Fernando Carrera, a former Guatemalan foreign minister and ambassador to the United Nations. "He's also trying to close the gap of confidence with the United States." That gap widened over the summer when Morales tussled with a U.S.-backed anti-corruption group. Morales's attempt to expel Ivan Velasquez, the head of the International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala (known by its initials in Spanish, CICIG), who was investigating campaign finance issues, caused an international uproar. After that, Carrera said, Morales was "not considered that credible and trustworthy in Washington." [Guatemalan president attempts to kick out U.N. anti-corruption chief] "He's trying to strengthen his position," Carrera added. "He wants to push for an agenda that seems to be very much in line with the most conservative geopolitical analysts in the world." The Post's Ishaan Tharoor explains the significance of recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital and what it means for the prospect of peace in the Middle East. (Sarah Parnass/The Washington Post) On Tuesday, Guatemala's foreign minister, Sandra Jovel, defended the decision to move the embassy and called it "a foreign policy decision, therefore sovereign." "What we are doing is being coherent with our foreign policy and the ally we have been for Israel," she said. The president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, is also in a politically precarious position and could use the Trump administration's help. Protests have roiled Honduras for the past month after a disputed election. The State Department recognized Hernandez as the winner over challenger Salvador Nasralla, despite calls by the Organization of American States for a revote. The Trump administration is still considering whether to deport some 57,000 Hondurans living with temporary immigration status in the United States. Honduras has also received military aid from Israel that has worried its neighbors and raised human rights concerns. Many expect that Honduras could also announce its intention to move its embassy to Jerusalem. One Latin American diplomat, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment publicly, said there is a "strong possibility of Honduras being next." | 1,006 | null | 2017-12-31 00:00:00 | null | null | null | null |
Bizarre Bigfoot prank used to highlight social distancing in the USA Here's "Bigfoot" observing social distancing in Oklahoma (Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness Area) Americans have a weird obsession with Bigfoot. It's a paranormal mystery that provides ample opportunity for conspiracy theories and speculation. As such, the Bigfoot myth is liable for exploitation by those who want to stir things up a bit on the internet. Which is exactly what one park authority in Oklahoma did. Bizarrely, the prank was a way of highlighting social distancing amid the coronavirus lockdown. America has become the new epicentre of the virus and authorities are scrambling to put measures in place to try and curb the outbreak. And so, the River Parks Authority of Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness Area just outside of Tulsa decided that Bigfoot is what was required. Ryan Howell, activities and programming manager at the River Parks Authority, suited up as Bigfoot and started traipsing round the area. Before long, the rangers say they were inundated with calls about the mysterious hominid. "Bigfoot is kind of a big deal in southeast Oklahoma," Howell told Newsweek. "There's conventions and blogs and Bigfoot hunters and the whole shebang. But it's never made an appearance in Tulsa." The prank was revealed by a Facebook post dubbing Howell "Social Distance Sasquatch" and saying it served as a reminder that park users should enjoy the outdoor space whilst observing social distancing. We don't quite know what the connection is there, but it seems to have worked. According to reports Social Distance Sasquatch has become a local celebrity, appearing in local news broadcasts and on several popular Instagram accounts. Someone tell the Loch Ness Monster now is a good time to put in an appearance.

The medical supplies may include a blood pressure gauge, stethoscope, scissors, tweezers, forceps, disposable scalpels, two thermometers (oral and rectal), inflatable splints, bandages, sutures, adhesive tape, gauze, burn ointment, antibiotic ointment, aspirin, rubbing alcohol, ipecac syrup, sterile water, cotton rags, soap, and cotton swabs. The transportation items may include bicycles with off-road tires and suspension, emergency tools and spare auto parts (e.g., fuses, fan belts, light bulbs, head light, tire pump, etc. ), and an inflatable raft with paddles. In addition, the kits may contain typical individual "survival kit" items, such as nylon tarps, extra clothes and coats, blankets, sleeping bags, matches or other fire starting equipment, a compass and maps, flashlights, toilet paper, soap, a pocketknife and bowie knife, a fishing kit, a portable camping stove, a power inverter, backpack, paper and pencil, a signaling mirror, whistle, cable saw, bleach, insect repellent, magnifying glass, rope and nylon cord, pulleys, and a pistol and ammunition. The communications equipment may include a multi-band receiver/scanner, a citizens band (CB) radio, portable "walkie-talkies" with rechargeable batteries, and a portable battery-powered television. The power supplies may include a diesel or gasoline generator with a one-month fuel supply, an auto battery and charger, extension cord, flashlights, rechargeable batteries (with recharger), an electric multi meter, and a test light. Defense items include a revolver, semi-automatic pistol, rifle, shotgun, ammunition, mace or pepper spray, and a large knife such as a KA-BAR or a bowie knife. Tools may include cutting tools such as saws, axes and hatchets; mechanical advantage aids such as a pry bar or wrecking bar, ropes, pulleys, or a 'come-a-long" hand-operated winch; construction tools such as pliers, chisels, a hammer, screwdrivers, a hand-operated twist drill, vise grip pliers, glue, nails, nuts, bolts, and screws; mechanical repair tools such as an arc welder, an oxy-acetylene torch, a propane torch with a spark lighter, a solder iron and flux, wrench set, a nut driver, a tap and die set, a socket set, and a fire extinguisher. As well, some survivalists bring barterable items such as fishing line, liquid soap, insect repellent, light bulbs, can openers, extra fuels, motor oil, and ammunition. === Get me home kit ===
Some survivalists also recommend keeping a get me home kit in the car and/or at work. This is a kit to enable a person to get back home from work in an emergency where all transport cars and public transport have broken down. It is designed around personal circumstances where, for example, a walk of 25 kilometres might be required from work to home. The get me home kit can include, for example, enough water to get home, suitable walking shoes, a map (not electronic), enough food for 12 hours, clothing for adverse weather, etc. === Go-kit ===
The term go-kit is popular in the amateur radio service, especially in the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) and Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) communities, and describes a combination personal bug-out bag and portable amateur radio station. A personal go-kit generally takes some combination of units: a "one-day" (or "24 hour") kit, a "three day" (or "72 hour") kit that adds additional supplies, or a "one week kit" that adds yet additional personal items to the three-day kit. Any or all supports deploying the operator plus his or her privately owned self-contained radio communications setup. == See also ==

That is, given some f:\mathcal{B}\to\mathbb{R}, one defines
\mathcal{L}_T f = f \circ T^{-1}
The map \mathcal{L}_T is a linear operator, as (obviously) one has \mathcal{L}_T(f+g)= \mathcal{L}_T(f) + \mathcal{L}_T(g) and \mathcal{L}_T(af)= a\mathcal{L}_T(f) for functions f,g and constant a. This linear operator is called the transfer operator or the Ruelle–Frobenius–Perron operator. This operator has a spectrum, that is, a collection of eigenfunctions and corresponding eigenvalues. The largest eigenvalue is the Frobenius–Perron eigenvalue, and in this case, it is 1. The associated eigenvector is the invariant measure: in this case, it is the Bernoulli measure. That is, \mathcal{L}_T(P)= P.
If one restricts \mathcal{L}_T to act on polynomials, then the eigenfunctions are (curiously) the Bernoulli polynomials! This coincidence of naming was presumably not known to Bernoulli. === The 2x mod 1 map===
der sets). ===Bernoulli measure===
If the chances of flipping heads or tails are given by the probabilities \{p,1-p\}, then one can define a natural measure on the product space, given by P=\{p, 1-p\}^\mathbb{N} (or by P=\{p, 1-p\}^\mathbb{Z} for the two-sided process). In another word, if a discrete random variable X has a Bernoulli distribution with parameter p, where 0 ≤ p ≤ 1, and its probability mass function is given by
pX(1)=P(X=1)=p and pX(0)=P(X=0)=1-p.
We denote this distribution by Ber(p). Given a cylinder set, that is, a specific sequence of coin flip results at times 1,2,\cdots,n, the probability of observing this particular sequence is given by
P()= p^k (1-p)^{n-k}
where k is the number of times that H appears in the sequence, and n−k is the number of times that T appears in the sequence. There are several different kinds of notations for the above; a common one is to write
P(X_1=x_1, X_2=x_2,\cdots, X_n=x_n)= p^k (1-p)^{n-k}
where each X_i is a binary-valued random variable with x_i= in Iverson bracket notation, meaning either 1 if \omega_i=H or 0 if \omega_i=T. This probability P is commonly called the Bernoulli measure. Note that the probability of any specific, infinitely long sequence of coin flips is exactly zero; this is because \lim_{n\to\infty}p^n=0, for any 0\le p. A probability equal to 1 implies that any given infinite sequence has measure zero. Nevertheless, one can still say that some classes of infinite sequences of coin flips are far more likely than others, this is given by the asymptotic equipartition property. To conclude the formal definition, a Bernoulli process is then given by the probability triple (\Omega, \mathcal{B}, P), as defined above. == Law of large numbers, binomial distribution and central limit theorem==
Let us assume the canonical process with H represented by 1 and T represented by 0. The law of large numbers states that, on the average of the sequence, i.e., \bar{X}_{n}:=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}X_{i}, will approach the expected value almost certainly, that is, the events which do not satisfy this limit have zero probability. The expectation value of flipping heads, assumed to be represented by 1, is given by p. In fact, one has
\mathbb{E}=\mathbb{P}()=p,
for any given random variable X_i out of the infinite sequence of Bernoulli trials that compose the Bernoulli process. | 1,012 | null | null | 1,044,798,528 | "2021-09-17T04:26:07" | Bernoulli process | 2,021 |
The prime minister has used social media to attack critical media that question his handling of the coronavirus crisis, accusing them of spreading lies or being pro-opposition. STA head Bojan Veselinovic dismissed the criticism and said STA's reporting has always been unbiased. "This [government's] maneuver shows that we are dealing with a policy aimed at financially draining the STA," Veselinovic said. Pressure 'unacceptable' Uros Urbanija, head of the Government Communication Office, which is responsible for financing the STA, denied that the government was pressuring the media. "Any pressure on the media from the government or its officials is unacceptable," said Urbanija. "The media should be independent of the government. Otherwise they become a public relations tool. Media are a part of the market and should be treated as such." He added that freedom of speech also applied to the prime minister, who is allowed to be critical of the media on Twitter, which Jansa often uses to communicate with the public. Vestager and another commission vice president, Vera Jourova, defended the role of media in a letter to STA on Tuesday. "It is crucial for democracy and for our common EU values that media should be able to work freely and independently everywhere in the European Union," the statement said. Splichal, the academic, pointed out that media in other countries also face commercial and political pressure but said the challenges are more distinctive in Slovenia because of the small size of the country, which has a population of 2 million. "If the present government would succeed in silencing the STA and the public TV.... that could give a lethal blow to democracy," said Splichal. Threat to democracy Tanja Staric, a journalist with TV Slovenia, which is part of RTV, said she was worried about the future of Slovenian media but believed there was room for independent reporting, for now. "Public media has a more important role than ever because it prevents us from drowning in fake news. We need journalism to reveal the mistakes of those in power, to check information," said Staric. "The collapse of media financed by public funds would be a road to a collapse of democracy."

Gangs of London boss slams critics who claim drama's too violent and defends all 13 torture scenes as 'integral' to plot GANGS of London boss Gareth Evans has slammed critics who claimed the drama was too violent. The creator also leapt to the defence of all 13 torture scenes which he described as 'integral' to the story.
Gangs of London overtook Game of Thrones as the most violent show on TVCredit: Sky Atlantic Gareth, 40, spoke at the Edinburgh Television Festival and bluntly stated that viewers can just change the channel if they don't like what they are seeing. He explained: "It's individual tastes, we all have a moral barometer. "I think if it's not for them, it's not for them, but there are lots of buttons on the remote control and you can always change channel. If you're not into it, you're not into it, and that has always been my approach." He continued: "If I tried to make something that would appeal to everyone, it would appeal to no-one. I can't hedge my bets to make sure it doesn't bump for someone."

There are 113 deaths to go with the 13 torture scenes in Gangs of LondonCredit: Sky The gruesome drama tells the story of the tussle between international gangs for power and supremacy in the capital. Gangs of London toppled Game of Thrones to break the record for the most violent show on British television with a whopping 113 deaths to go with the 13 torture scenes. Cast member Sope Dirisu, 29, who plays Elliot Finch in the series, somewhat agreed with the director and believes viewers are doing themselves no favours if they are unable to look past the show's violence. He said: "I understand that for some people it might not ring with them but I think if they are going to dismiss the series because they think it's too violent, or they have heard it's too violent, then they are doing themselves a disservice because the series offers so much more."

It's good news for fans of the show as the second season of Gangs of London is already in the works. Executive producer Thomas Benski, who was also at the Edinburgh TV Festival, revealed: "The timing of the show in a way has not been hugely affected by COVID, because we obviously launched during lockdown and we are now in development.

However, Jeddah remained a key civilian harbor, serving fishermen and pilgrims travelling by sea for the Hajj. It is also believed that Sharifdom of Mecca, an honorary Viceroy to the holy land, was first appointed in this period of the Islamic Caliphate. Jeddah has been established as the main city of the historic Hijaz province and a historic port for pilgrims arriving by sea to perform their Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca. In 750, in the Abbasid Revolution, the Abbasids successfully took control of almost the whole Umayyad Empire, excluding Morocco (Maghrib) and Spain (Al-Andalus). From 876, Jeddah and the surrounding area became the object of wars between the Abbasids and the Tulunids of Egypt, who at one point gained control of the emirates of Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Hejaz. The power struggle between the Tulunid Governors and the Abbasids over Hejaz lasted for nearly 25 years, until the Tulunids finally withdrew from Arabia in 900 AD. In 930 AD, the main Hejazi cities of Medina, Mecca and Taif were heavily sacked by the Qarmatians. It is probable, though not historically confirmed, that Jeddah itself was attacked by Qarmatians. Soon after, in early 935, the Ikhshidids, the new power in Egypt, took control of the Hejaz region. There are no historical records that detail the Ikhshidid rule of Hejaz. At this point in time, Jeddah was still unfortified and without walls. ===The Fatimids, Ayyubids, and Mamluks===
In 969 AD, the Fatimids from Algeria took control in Egypt from the Ikhshidid Governors of Abbasids and expanded their empire to the surrounding regions, including The Hijaz and Jeddah. The Fatimids developed an extensive trade network in both the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean through the Red Sea. Their trade and diplomatic ties extended all the way to China and its Song Dynasty, which eventually determined the economic course of Tihamah during the High Middle Ages. After Saladin's conquest of Jerusalem, in 1171 he proclaimed himself sultan of Egypt, after dissolving the Fatimid Caliphate upon the death of al-Adid, thus establishing the Ayyubid dynasty. Ayyubid conquests in Hejaz included Jeddah, which joined the Ayyubid Empire in 1177 during the leadership of Sharif Ibn Abul-Hashim Al-Thalab (1094–1201). During their relatively short-lived tenure, the Ayyubids ushered in an era of economic prosperity in the lands they ruled and the facilities and patronage provided by the Ayyubids led to a resurgence in intellectual activity in the Islamic world. This period was also marked by an Ayyubid process of vigorously strengthening Sunni Muslim dominance in the region by constructing numerous madrasas (Islamic schools) in their major cities. Jeddah attracted Muslim sailors and merchants from Sindh, Southeast Asia and East Africa, and other distant regions. In 1254, following events in Cairo and the dissolution of the Ayyubid Empire, Hejaz became a part of the Mamluk Sultanate. The Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama, having found his way around the Cape and obtained pilots from the coast of Zanzibar in AD 1497, pushed his way across the Indian Ocean to the shores of Malabar and Calicut, attacked fleets that carried freight and Muslim pilgrims from India to the Red Sea, and struck terror into the surrounding potentates. The Princes of Gujarat and Yemen turned for help to Egypt. Sultan Al-Ashraf Qansuh al-Ghawri accordingly fitted out a fleet of 50 vessels under the Governor of Jeddah, Hussein the Kurd (aka. Mirocem). Jeddah was soon fortified with a wall, using forced labor, as a harbor of refuge from the Portuguese, allowing Arabia and the Red Sea to be protected. ===Ottoman Empire===
In 1517, the Ottoman Turks conquered the Mamluk Sultanate in Egypt and Syria, during the reign of Selim I. The Ottomans rebuilt the weak walls of Jeddah in 1525 following the defense of the city against the Lopo Soares de Albergaria's Armada at the Siege of Jeddah (1517). The new stone wall included six watchtowers and six city gates. They were constructed to defend against the Portuguese attack. Of the six gates, the Gate of Mecca was the eastern gate and the Gate of Al-Magharibah, facing the port, was the western gate. The Gate of Sharif faced south. | 1,020 | null | null | 1,060,270,525 | "2021-12-14T13:21:46" | Jeddah | 2,021 |
"The Beijing leadership certainly sees Hong Kong as a kind of runaway territory. [To them], Hong Kongers have proven to be "disobedient" and "ungrateful." This top-down approach shows Beijing's determination to cleanse Hong Kong. It's the end of Hong Kong in the making," Mo said. Just as the Belt and Road Initiative is increasingly seen as a geopolitical strategy for China's benefit rather than an economic initiative to help developing countries, the Greater Bay Area is not about regional prosperity but about tightening Beijing's control over Hong Kong. If it goes ahead, the end of the one country, two systems agreement might happen well before 2047.

Hairdressers across England prepare to reopen at midnight to keep up with customer demand Hairdressers cross England are preparing to open at midnight and work through to the morning in an attempt to meet demand from customers seeking a post-lockdown trim. After three months, hair salons and barbers have been given the green light to open their doors on 4 July. Dubbed "Super Saturday," the date will also see pubs, restaurants and cafes reopening but with strict social distancing rules. Confronted with a backlog of appointments, many salons have made the decision to get a head start by opening as soon as possible. Download the new Independent Premium app Sharing the full story, not just the headlines Download now Read more Sunderland-based hairdresser Debra Adamson revealed she is fully booked for the next five weeks and plans on working seven days a week to keep up with demand. The salon owner has also agreed to open at midnight for a loyal customer who failed to secure an appointment after they were quickly taken following Boris Johnson's announcement on 23 June. Speaking to Good Morning Britain while wearing a face shield, Adamson said: "She is desperate. She is desperate but she hasn't had her hair done for five months, and she did try to get in online but I didn't have any appointments for five weeks. "So I did said 'Karen, do you know? I've done your hair for that many years, I'll open at midnight and do your hair at midnight'. She's been a very loyal client to me." Adamson added that she is "very excited to get back to work" and has made sure her salon and staff are prepared to accommodate social distancing requirements. (Good Morning Britain) Elsewhere, Carole Rickaby, who owns Tusk Hair in Camden, north London, also plans on opening the doors of her salon at the stroke of midnight. "It is just a fun thing to do [but] we're busy anyway" she told the BBC. "We are completely booked up from 7:00 in the morning until about 8pm because we're spreading our clients out as well, taking longer over each appointment." Read more Rickaby went on to explain that she has four stylists who will all work socially-distanced in the salon with 15 minutes between each client for cleaning. Speaking to The Hunts Post, Kirsty Piekuta, the owner of Kapilli Hair Design in St Ives, said her salon is having a midnight launch on 4 July to help a devoted customer. "We decided to do a midnight launch on 4 July for a client who had been really keen to get her hair done for months and is going away on Saturday in England for a holiday," she said. "We thought we would help her by doing this, as we are fully booked this weekend in the day." To ensure salons can reopen safely, the government has introduced a series of guidelines that includes stylists wearing visors and customers wearing face masks. There will also be no magazines on offer and there are likely to be screens in wash stations, and contactless for all payments.
