Ivan Tsonev Lukov (Иван Цонев Луков) (August 22, 1871 in Gabrovo – April 17, 1926 in Sofia) was a Bulgarian officer. During the First World War, he was Chief of Staff of the Bulgarian Army and commanded between 1917 and 1918 the Bulgarian Second Army on the Salonika front. == Biography ==
Ivan Lukov was born on August 22, 1871 in Gabrovo. He graduated from the Military School in Sofia, and in 1910 from the Nikolaevsk General Staff Military Academy in St. Petersburg, Russia. From 1906 to 1908 he was Bulgarian military attaché in Paris and St. Petersburg. During the Balkan War (1912-1913) was Chief of Staff of the 1st Infantry Division in Sofia, and after the war he was appointed Head of the Military School. After the mobilization in 1915, he was appointed Head of the Operations Department at the headquarters of the acting army in Kyustendil. After the death of Major General Konstantin Zhostov in August 1916, he became Chief of Staff of the Bulgarian Army. In February 1917, due to conflicts with the Allies, he was sent to command the 2nd Bulgarian Army. In September 1918 he was part of the Bulgarian delegation that signed the Armistice of Salonica, together with Andrey Lyapchev and Simeon Radev. In 1918–1919, he was again Chief of Staff of the Bulgarian Army and a member of the Bulgarian delegation in Neuilly. After signing this peace treaty, he went into the reserve. In the period 1921 - 1923, he was chairman of the Union of Reserve Officers. Lieutenant General Ivan Lukov died on April 17, 1926 in Sofia, Bulgaria. == Sources ==

Callie Lovekin and Lucas Lovekin Stephen Lovekin/REX/Shutterstock Our relationship with alcohol is not exceptional: yet we prefer to peddle quaint myths positioning the pub as one of those robust British values, like Blitz spirit and the royal family. And this gets in the way of doing better. In Italy, when I socialised with friends and family, even late into the evening, it was as likely at a cafe or gelateria (ice cream parlour) as anywhere alcohol-focused. The difference, compared to the UK, was marked: most town centres boast spaces where families can and do go out on an evening. Whereas the best we can offer, most of the time, is the pub or the high-priced restaurant. So no, I do not mind other people drinking. But I mind very much when they impose their tipsy values on me: at micro level, treating us non-drinkers as odd, suspicious: at macro level, proclaiming closed pubs a national tragedy. It is nothing of the kind. And perhaps, if they stay closed long enough, some better alternative might just emerge.

U.S. military base in Seoul reports multiple COVID-19 cases Jan. 14 (UPI) -- A large U.S. military base in central Seoul is reporting multiple COVID-19 cases as South Korea struggles to keep up with the novel coronavirus. U.S. Forces Korea said Thursday seven USFK-affiliated people at Yongsan Garrison tested positive for the novel coronavirus Wednesday. Five out of the seven people, who were not identified by name, work for the U.S. Department of Defense. "All five have been in self-quarantine at their separate off-installation residences since Jan. 8 following their direct contact with an individual who recently tested positive for COVID-19," USFK said. On Thursday, USFK said the remaining two new cases included a U.S. military contractor's spouse and a "Department of Defense civilian who does not have a direct relationship with the other six individuals." The U.S. military on the peninsula said it is working with the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency on contact tracing to "determine whether anyone else may have been exposed." Seoul is home to more than 9.7 million people. South Korea continues to report hundreds of new cases, but daily cases are down from December, when the country regularly reported about 1,000 cases per day. Local television network KBS said Thursday that Korea has reported 500 cases daily on average for the fourth-straight day, but authorities remain on guard. Seoul has urged the public to cancel all private gatherings, after a missionary school became the epicenter of a new outbreak. The BTJ Center for All Nations in Sangju, North Gyeongsang Province, is the source of more than 700 cases reported over recent days, according to Singapore's Strait Times on Thursday. In the city of Suwon, a South Korean soldier and a civilian official of a South Korean army unit tested positive for the coronavirus, Seoul said Thursday, according to Yonhap. President Moon Jae-in said COVID-19 vaccines will be available in the country and free inoculations for all citizens are to begin in February. South Korea has reported more than 70,000 cases and 1,195 deaths since the start of the pandemic.

Democrats Will Hope That Their Suddenly Animated Base Will Be Enough to Stave Off a Midterm Bloodbath But there is still a sense of fatigue among voters, and particularly younger Georgians. "The candidates Stacey Abrams and Raphael Warnock are very motivating to young people, and very trustworthy, but for many young people, they may not feel like enough," said Alex Ames, a 20-year-old college student in Atlanta and the organizing director for Georgia Youth Justice Coalition. "It may not feel like this election has provided enough for young people to feel like, "Yeah, if I show up, my life is going to change." I don't want to call that apathy, as much as just a feeling that our political system isn't meeting the moment as a whole for what young people deserve." Tembi Hove, a member of the union Unite Here Local 23 in Atlanta, has been canvassing Democratic-leaning voters in Columbus, Georgia, ahead of the election. Hove said that many of the potential voters she speaks to understand the stakes of the election, but others are disillusioned and frustrated. "There's still a group of younger folks, and it seems to be more of the younger Black men, who feel that voting doesn't matter, it doesn't count; "What's the purpose? It's not going to make a difference,"" she said. But Hove also said that she believed some people were waiting until Election Day to cast their ballot and that she expected a high turnout in Georgia on Tuesday. "The types of neighborhoods we're going in, these are the people who need those things that Stacey Abrams and Raphael Warnock are promising to do for us, like increasing teacher pay, like affordable health care, affordable prescriptions, cleaning up our neighborhoods, taking care of gun violence," Hove said.

When "the hour of trial" arrived Shaftesbury defended the Lunacy Commission and claimed he was now the only person alive who could speak with personal knowledge of the state of care of lunatics before the Lunacy Commission was established in 1828. It had been "a state of things such as would pass all belief". In the committee's Report, the members of the Committee agreed with Shaftesbury's evidence on all points. In 1884, the husband of Mrs Georgina Weldon tried to have her detained in a lunatic asylum because she believed that her pug dog had a soul and that the spirit of her dead mother had entered into her pet rabbit. She commenced legal action against Shaftesbury and other lunacy commissioners although it failed. In May, Shaftesbury spoke in the Lords against a motion declaring the lunacy laws unsatisfactory but the motion passed Parliament. The Lord Chancellor Selborne supported a Lunacy Law Amendment Bill and Shaftesbury wanted to resign from the Lunacy Commission as he believed he was honour bound not to oppose a Bill supported by the Lord Chancellor. However, Selborne implored him not to resign so Shaftesbury refrained. However, when the Bill was introduced and it contained the provision which made it compulsory for a certificate of lunacy to be signed by a magistrate or a judge, he resigned. The government fell, however, and the Bill was withdrawn and Shaftesbury resumed his chairmanship of the Lunacy Commission. Shaftesbury's work in improving the care of the insane remains one of his most important, though lesser known, achievements. He wrote: "Beyond the circle of my own Commissioners and the lunatics that I visit, not a soul, in great or small life, not even my associates in my works of philanthropy, has any notion of the years of toil and care that, under God, I have bestowed on this melancholy and awful question". ===Child labour===
In March 1833, Ashley introduced the Ten Hours Act 1833 into the Commons, which provided that children working in the cotton and woollen industries must be aged nine or above; no person under the age of eighteen was to work more than ten hours a day or eight hours on a Saturday; and no one under twenty-five was to work nights, insisted they should go to school, and appointed inspectors to enforce the law. However the Whig government, by a majority of 145, amended this to substitute "thirteen" in place of "eighteen" and the Act as it passed ensured that no child under thirteen worked more than nine hours. In June 1836, another Ten Hours act was introduced into the Commons and although Ashley considered this Bill ill-timed, he supported it. In July one member of the Lancashire committees set up to support the Bill wrote that: "If there was one man in England more devoted to the interests of the factory people than another, it was Lord Ashley. They might always rely on him as a ready, steadfast and willing friend". In July 1837, he accused the government of ignoring the breaches of the 1833 Act and moved the resolution that the House regretted the regulation of the working hours of children had been found to be unsatisfactory. It was lost by fifteen votes. The text of A Narrative of the Experience and Sufferings of William Dodd a Factory Cripple was sent to Lord Ashley and with his support was published in 1840. Ashley employed William Dodd at 45 shillings a week and he wrote "The Factory System: Illustrated" to describe the conditions of working children in textile manufacture. This was published in 1842. These books were attacked by John Bright in parliament who said that he had evidence that the books described Dodd's mistreatment but were in fact driven by Dodd's ingratitude as a disgruntled employee. Ashley sacked Dodd who emigrated to America. In 1842, Ashley wrote twice to the Prime Minister, Robert Peel, to urge the government to support a new Factory Act. Peel wrote in reply that he would not support one and Ashley wrote to the Short Time Committees of Cheshire, Lancashire and Yorkshire who desired a Ten Hours Act:
In March 1844, Ashley moved an amendment to a Factory Bill limiting the working hours of adolescents to ten hours after Sir James Graham had introduced a Bill aiming to limit their working hours to twelve hours. Ashley's amendment was passed by eight votes, the first time the Commons had approved of the Ten Hour principle. However, in a later vote, his amendment was defeated by seven votes and the Bill was withdrawn. Later that month, Graham introduced another Bill which again would limit the employment of adolescents to twelve hours. Ashley supported this Bill except that he wanted ten hours not twelve as the limit. | 1,005 | null | null | 1,127,183,718 | "2022-12-13T09:51:49" | Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 7th Earl of Shaftesbury | 2,022 |
Richard Stephen "Bubba" Crosby (born August 11, 1976) is a former Major League Baseball outfielder who played with the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees. He is best known for his tenure as a backup outfielder for the Yankees, when his defense and running games were often put to use and he played a prominent starting role near the end of the 2005 season. ==Name==
He became Bubba when he was born and his 15-month-old sister, Charmin, could not say "brother". The name stuck. But as he said, "almost everyone in Texas is Bubba when you're growing up." He said when he got to be dating age, "I tried to change it in school, call myself Richard, but kids would call for me and ask for Richard, and my parents would burst out laughing and say, 'You mean Bubba?'" ==High school and college==
Crosby was a star at baseball powerhouse Bellaire High School (Bellaire, Texas) 1991-95, where he won a Texas 5-A sports state high school championship. At Rice University from 1996 to 1998, he earned All-American honors in 1997 and 1998. In 1998, he hit 25 s and drove in 91 runs in only 221 at bats, and batted.394 with a.504 on-base percentage and a.828 slugging percentage. He also had a 30-game. He is the all-time Rice leader with 20 career triples, and 2nd with 59 home runs, 243 RBIs, 499 total bases, and a.737 slugging percentage, trailing only Lance Berkman in each category. ==Professional career==
===Los Angeles Dodgers (1998–2003)===
Crosby was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers of the National League in the 1st round (23rd overall) of the 1998 Major League Baseball Draft for amateur entries. His best seasons in the minors in the Dodgers system were 1999 (.296 with 19 stolen bases in A+ ball), 2000 (27 stolen bases in A+ ball), 2001 (.302 with 22 stolen bases in Double-A), and 2003 (.361 in Triple-A). Crosby was finally called up by the Dodgers in 2003, while he was batting.361 with a.410 on-base percentage and.635 slugging percentage (1.045 OPS) in AAA. Nevertheless, he still struggled to find significant time in the majors as the Dodgers favored Rickey Henderson in a reserve role over him. Following a dozen at bats in Los Angeles, he was traded to the New York Yankees on July 31, 2003, along with Scott Proctor for Robin Ventura. ===New York Yankees (2004–06)===
Crosby played primarily as a starting outfielder (mostly in RF—where he has never made an error in the Major Leagues—and CF) for the Yankees. ====2004====
In 2004, after having made the team due to a strong spring training performance in which he hit.385 with two home runs and eleven RBIs, Crosby gained a large amount of media and fan attention when, in his first series against the Chicago White Sox, he hit two home runs with five RBI in first five at-bats and made a diving catch. Notably, the first home run came in his first at bat as a Yankee and the second secured Mike Mussina's 200th career win. Nevertheless, upon the return of outfielder Kenny Lofton from the disabled list, Crosby was sent down to minors from where he would be called up several times. He ultimately received only 53 at-bats on the season, hitting.151 overall. He made both the ALDS and ALCS rosters as a reserve outfielder and pinch runner. ====2005====
In 2005, Crosby performed well in spring training again and made the team for the second year in a row but again found difficulty staying in the majors at the beginning of the season. He was optioned down to the Clippers on July 8, 2005, but returned to the Yankees on August 18. Crosby returned to the Yankees wearing jersey number 18 because his previous number, 19, had been assigned to the newly acquired Al Leiter. Crosby's season made a dramatic turn for the better in the final month of the season, however. After having worked with Don Mattingly to shorten his swing, Crosby finished his 2005 season with the strongest performance of his career, hitting.321 in 23 September games while consistently starting and.345 (20 for 58) over his final 31 games of the season. On September 19, 2005, in his first start of the year against a left-handed pitcher, he hit his career first walk-off home run, against Eric DuBose of the Baltimore Orioles, leading off the bottom of the 9th inning by sending a breaking ball over the right-center field fence. | 1,017 | null | null | 1,118,802,103 | "2022-10-29T00:30:15" | Bubba Crosby | 2,022 |
Review: Skewering White Pieties About Diversity in "Admissions" In her 15 years as the head of admissions at Hillcrest, a not-quite-first-tier boarding school in New Hampshire, Sherri Rosen-Mason has increased the student body's diversity quotient threefold: to 18 percent from 6 percent. When it looks as if that percentage is about to climb even higher, her husband, Bill Mason, the head of the school, brings home a bottle of white wine to celebrate. The wine is not the only thing that's white in Joshua Harmon's "Admissions," which opened on Monday in a Lincoln Center Theater production at the Mitzi E. Newhouse. So are the well-meaning characters - and their conflicts. That's a daring choice for a play about racial representation, but it's a dare that pays off. Despite some flaws common to its genre, "Admissions" is an extraordinarily useful and excruciating satire - of the left, by the left, for the left - for today. The satire is largely aimed at the kind of pieties about inclusion that are espoused by woke white liberals. In "Admissions," these liberals include not just smug Sherri (Jessica Hecht) and Bill (Andrew Garman) but also their excitable teenage son (Ben Edelman), a high-achieving senior at Hillcrest. Named Charlie Luther Mason - the "Luther," naturally, for Martin Luther King - he is by upbringing if not by temperament a believer in the amicable coexistence of meritocracy and diversity. But when he gets deferred from his holy of holies, Yale - and, worse, when his best friend, Perry, gets in - that faith instantly crumbles. After all, Perry's SAT scores weren't as good, and he takes only two A.P. classes while Charlie takes three. Is it relevant to add that Perry is black? Actually, Perry's mother, Ginnie (Sally Murphy), is white, and his father, Don, an English instructor at Hillcrest, is biracial. (We do not meet Perry or Don.) But who gets to "count" as diverse is one of the play's horrible-hilarious wrangles. In an argument with Roberta, a member of Hillcrest's development staff, Sherri insists that the school's admissions catalog must depict a student body that is visually diverse - so Perry, who is light-skinned, doesn't count. To comply, Roberta (Ann McDonough) has to stage photos that feature recognizably dark-skinned students, reading "The Bluest Eye" no less. Perry may not be black enough for the catalog, but Charlie certainly thinks he was black enough for Yale, and accepted for that reason. In an astonishing 17-minute howl of disappointment, he undoes a lifetime of indoctrination as he dissects the logical fallacies on which, he feels, his parents" values - and Yale's, and Hillcrest's - are based. Andrew Garman, with Jessica Hecht and Ben Edelman the Lincoln Center Theater production of "Admissions." CreditSara Krulwich/The New York Times Is Penélope Cruz a person of color? Is Kim Kardashian? If so, why isn't, say, Marion Cotillard? And why does Perry's mother act as if "it's this huge achievement that a not totally white baby popped out of her vagina"? Should white people hate white people? The evening I saw it, this line of thought had the audience roaring and clapping and then seeming to want to retract both responses as Charlie veered into ever more uncomfortable ideas. That's good satire at work, causing us to think critically about people we don't at first recognize as images of ourselves. And the discomfort only deepens when Charlie, stung by his parents" reaction to his tirade - his father calls him a spoiled brat - reconsiders his position and makes a startling decision. "If there are going to be new voices at the table," he says later in the play, "someone has to stand up and offer someone else his seat." By a method I will not spoil, Charlie proposes to do for diversity what his parents only give the appearance of doing, and in the process reinvent himself as a Great White Martyr. But martyrs are not always as determined as mothers, and Sherri's tolerance turns out to be finite. Her assumptions of privilege, however unexamined, will not be denied. The crux of Mr. Harmon's argument, which is as tightly constructed as a finger-trap toy - almost every piece of information supplied at the start pays off by the end - is that hypocrisy may look a lot like love. | 985 | null | 2018-12-31 00:00:00 | null | null | null | null |
Some outside experts saw this coming. Dr. James Conway, a pediatric infectious diseases expert at the University of Wisconsin, said last week that if vaccine-hesitant people "start to get the idea that this is only going to last for six or eight or 10 months," they may be further soured on the whole idea. Scientists have emphasized that the vaccine remains highly effective against serious illness and death from COVID-19, but they have seen signs that its protection may be slipping. Meanwhile, the pandemic's summer surge has shown signs of easing. Deaths are still running high at over 2,000 a day on average, but cases and hospitalizations are trending down. While any ebb in COVID-19's toll is welcome, it also may undercut health officials' effort to instill a sense of urgency in the unvaccinated. That could be a difficult task even when cases were exploding. Dr. Alex Jahangir, director of orthopedic trauma surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the head of a coronavirus task force in Nashville, Tennessee, recalled operating on an elderly man injured in a car wreck over the summer. The man survived those injuries but ended up dying from COVID-19. Jahangir said he was struck by how the man's family seemed to absorb the facts about the COVID-19's dangers only at the very end. "Only when they were negatively impacted did they seek the truth," Jahangir said.

Watson qualifies for 10m semi-final Tanya Watson, the first female Irish diver to qualify for the Olympics, has made the 10m platform semi-final after finishing 16th in the preliminary round. Nerves were jangling as the final round drew in with Watson dangling close to the top-18 cut off mark, but her total score of 289.40 gave the 19-year-old some breathing space, finishing 11.40 points ahead of South Korea's Halim Kwon. Originally from Southampton in the UK, Watson had a solid start, her first dive delivering 62.40 and putting her in 13th spot and a 57.0 second dive. But a disappointing third dive, when she performed two-and-a-half back summersaults in the pike position, only delivered a 52.20, her lowest score in the five-round preliminary. That left the 2018 Junior World and European Championship finalist in the 16th position, with the top 18 in the 30-diver competition going through to the semi-final. Watson held her nerve in the final two dives with scores of 60.20 and 57.60 keeping her in 16th and booking herself an historic semi-final spot. "I feel great, and just excited to go out there again and do my dives and get through again tomorrow," Watson said after her Olympic debut. "My first dive was pretty good for me, everything was consistent, so all my dives were on the head. "But I just need to work on... my entries, there was some splash there which I would like to get rid of. "My first, second, third, fourth, fifth dives, they were all consistent. So I'm really, really happy with that. "My plan into the semi-finals is that I personally want to enjoy it again. I did really good diving today, so I'm really excited to find that again."

Tomorrow's semi-final will see the top 12 qualify for the final and if Watson can break the 300-point mark she would have a strong chance of making the final, going by the benchmark of previous Olympic final qualification scores.

Nepalese people evacuated from Afghanistan arrive via Kuwait at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu A Nepalese man evacuated from Afghanistan waves as he arrives via Kuwait at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu Macron pledges 'robust' EU response to stop Afghan migrants Emmanuel Macron has vowed a 'robust, coordinated and united' European response to stop Afghan migrants heading to the West and warned that Taliban-controlled Afghanistan is on course to become a'sanctuary' for terrorists and people-smugglers unless action is taken. In a television broadcast from his holiday home in the South of France, the French President said the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan after the 20-year Western intervention had far-reaching consequences for other countries - and would need to work together to manage the change. 'This is key for international security and peace,' Mr Macron said on Monday night. 'We will do everything for Russia, the United States and Europe to co-operate efficiently as our interests are the same'. Mr Macron also urged the United Nations Security Council - of which France is a permanent member - to produce a'reasonable and unified' response to the crisis engulfing Afghanistan and the wider region. The French President said the European Union would now be trying to regulate the vastly increased refugee flow from Afghanistan, which has a population of almost 40,000. He said France would be cracking down on 'illegal people smuggling rings', along with Germany and other EU countries. Mr Macron said: 'We must anticipate and protect ourselves against significant irregular migratory flows that would endanger the migrants and risk encouraging trafficking of all kinds.' He said some 800 Afghans including translators and cooks who worked for France had already been evacuated to his country And the President added that France was ready to help activists, artists and journalists who risk being targeted because of their work. 'We will help them as it is the honour of France to be side-by-side with those who share our values,' he said. A U.S. official told Reuters U.S. troops had killed two gunmen who had appeared to have fired into the crowd at the airport. Despite the scenes of panic and confusion in Kabul, U.S. President Joe Biden defended his decision to withdraw U.S. forces after 20 years of war - the nation's longest - that he described as costing more than $1 trillion. But a video on Monday of hundreds of desperate Afghans trying to clamber onto a U.S. military plane as it was about to take-off could haunt the United States, just as a photograph in 1975 of people scrambling to get on a helicopter on the roof of a building in Saigon became emblematic of the humiliating withdrawal from Vietnam. Biden insisted he had to decide between asking U.S. forces to fight endlessly in what he called Afghanistan's civil war or follow through on an agreement to withdraw negotiated by his predecessor, Republican Donald Trump. 'I stand squarely behind my decision,' Biden said. 'After 20 years I've learned the hard way that there was never a good time to withdraw U.S. forces. That's why we're still there.' Facing a barrage of criticism, from even his own diplomats, he blamed the Taliban's takeover on Afghan political leaders who fled and its army's unwillingness to fight. The Taliban captured Afghanistan's biggest cities in days rather than the months predicted by U.S. intelligence, in many cases after demoralised government forces surrendered despite years of training and equipping by the United States and others. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken that the hasty pullout of U.S. troops had a'serious negative impact,'China's state broadcaster CCTV reported, adding that Wang pledged to work with Washington to promote stability. Blinken also spoke on Monday with counterparts in Pakistan, Russia, Britain, the European Union, Turkey and NATO about ensuring regional stability, the State Department said. U.S. Charge d'Affaires Ross Wilson dismissed in a Twitter message what he called false reports that he had left the country, saying he and staff remained and were helping thousands of U.S. citizens and Afghans. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani left the country on Sunday as the Islamist militants entered Kabul, saying he wanted to avoid bloodshed. The U.N. Security Council called for talks to create a new government in Afghanistan after Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned of 'chilling' curbs on human rights and violations against women and girls.

Richard Keatinge (talk)
:To me Rowed Vehicle sounds better, but the grammatical precedents are all over the place. Human powered vehicle -> Rowed Vehicle. Row boat -> Row Bike -> Row Vehicle. Rowing Machine->Rowing Bike -> Rowing vehicle. This article is really a sub category of the article, so rowed vehicles is the way I would go so that it meshes with that article. It seems that virtually all the vehicles are really bicycles, but using the term vehicle is ok.
:As to trade names, I see no way to discuss the topic without mentioning trade names as unlike regular bikes, the different machines have little in common. As far as I can see there are only 5-10 manufacturers of anything even close to a row bike, so there is no fairness issue as they can all be listed. :I would say none of the rowbikes are suitable for street use, meaning in city traffic, by the general public. :The Thys machine looks great, I own a Rowbike. Perhaps you could explain the mechanical parts of the Thys machine, I just guessed at how it worked based on some videos from their 8rge (talk)
OK, thanks, "rowed vehicles" it is. You are quite right about it being essential to use the trade names within the article, much of the article will be discussing the different brands. They are of course very much a minority interest anywhere and I can't see that changing, but my impression is that the market is local, or at any rate national, rather than global. I doubt if there are many Rowbikes in Europe or many Rowingbikes in the Americas. The Thys machine strikes me as a miracle of simplicity; I'm still trying to work it out and I certainly don't feel able to give any coherent explanation, sorry. Richard Keatinge (talk)
I propose to replace this page with a redirect to Rowed vehicles Richard Keatinge (talk)
How would the story behind the individual vehicles and their creators be handled? I find the rowbike story and it's connection to roller blades interesting. I would be interested in the story behind the other machines. While I agree that every little thing out there does not warrant an article, Rowbike, Thys, and some others are real products, not vanity projects. Strida, Birdy (bicycle), and Moka Espresso have their own pages. Why not create a Rowed Vehicle page, put most of the current Rowbike page in it, but keep an independent rowbike page that will just cover the specifics behind the rowbike company and it's history. I think most searches will be on the brand name, so having a page for the most popular machines would help people find what they are looking for. As far as the Thys machine goes I don't think you need to be an expert. I think what people would be curious about is how it is steered. If the stroke is similar to a boat? Is it one size fits all? Does it have proprietary parts? The rowbike is spring loaded with bungee cords, I wondered how the Thys machine returns the rider to the begining of the stroke. You can also email the makers. I have corresponded with the rowbike people to get some things straight. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geo8rge (talk • contribs)
OK; my own feeling is still that the individual brands are not really notable enough to justify an encyclopaedia article and that the details you mention should really be left to the web pages of enthusiasts. (Do you have a page that could be referenced?) However, Wikipedia is all about co-operation and respect for other views, and it's a judgement at the margins anyway. I won't replace the Rowbike page with a redirect, and I look forward to seeing what you can do with it. I agree that the rowed vehicles page could benefit from some better comparisons of the machines. Go for it! Richard Keatinge (talk)
:The problem I have with "Rowed Human Powered Vehicle" is I cannot find a single reference to the term in google. It seems that Wikipedia would be inventing the term. Is that wong by WP rules? I would not protest the new title, although there should be a rowbike disambig pointing to the new page if only so that bookmarks and links from other sites would still work, the Rowbike article has existed for a long time, I think it would be rude to screw up other peoples links. | 986 | null | null | 1,081,917,445 | "2022-04-10T12:20:04" | Rowbike | 2,022 |
Sligo Rovers add more firepower with Figueira signing Sligo Rovers have added to their attacking options with the signing of Walter Figueira for the 2021 season. The 25-year-old moves to the Bit O'Red from Derry City and previously played for Waterford FC. He had played in Greece and Portugal, having been a product of Chelsea's academy. Figueira scored four goals for Derry in the half-season of 2020 and also bagged five goals in 11 for Waterford previously in all competitions. Looking ahead to linking up with side that will have European football on their agenda this season, Figueira said: "I'm really looking forward to playing some exciting football here. The style of play here is very attractive and I feel like I can contribute a lot to the side. "The manager reassured me he would take care of me with my family and give me the freedom to do what I do best on the pitch. I was very convinced by him and I trust the players we have in the squad. I'm looking forward to it. "I found it very frustrating last year. The stop-start season and Covid-19 in Derry led to lots of isolating and that and it affected our fitness. It was difficult to get a good run of games. Hopefully I can find the consistency and showcase my ability in the league now." Sligo manager Liam Buckley added: "Walter is a player I have recognised going back to his youth days at Chelsea. We made our interest known quite a few months ago and I'm delighted he has signed today. "His spells in Waterford and Derry have shown what a good technical player he is. Looking at his ability, I feel Walter can make an even greater impact and we've brought him here to do that. "Being in a better team overall will bring more out of Walter and he will enjoy playing with the group we have here. "He can play anywhere across the front four, that versatility is fantastic for us. We've got Romeo, Ryan De Vries, Jordan Gibson, Johnny Kenny, add in young Cillian Heaney and now Walter and between all of them we've got some fantastic options there."

== Release ==
"Nude" was released as a single on 31 March 2008. Radiohead held a competition for fans to create remixes from the individual stem tracks of guitar, drums, bass, vocals and strings, available to purchase via iTunes. The entries were streamed on the Radiohead website. A performance of "Nude" was included on the 2008 live video In Rainbows – From the Basement. Early versions of "Nude", recorded in the OK Computer period, were included in the special edition of the 2017 OK Computer reissue OKNOTOK 1997 2017 and the 2019 compilation MiniDiscs. == Reception ==
"Nude" outperformed the previous In Rainbows single, "Jigsaw Falling into Place", reaching number 21 on the UK Singles Chart. It reached number 37 on the US Billboard Hot 100, making it Radiohead's second top-40 hit after their debut single, "Creep", reached number 34 in 1993. It was also the first Radiohead song to make the Billboard Pop 100. Sales included sales of the remix stems, boosting the single's chart performance. In 2020, the Guardian writer Jazz Monroe named "Nude" the seventh-greatest Radiohead song, writing: "After kicking around in Radiohead lore for more than a decade, 'Nude'... found stunning form, first by channelling Björk – choppy coos, weeping strings – and then in a finale as bright and penetrating as dawn." ==Charts==

Edward Litt Leman Blanchard, often referred to as E. L. Blanchard (11 December 1820 – 4 September 1889), was an English writer who is best known for his contributions to the Drury Lane pantomime. He began writing plays and other literature to support himself as a teenager after his father died. A succession of pantomimes supplied by him to one or other of the minor theatres, under the nom de plume of Francisco Frost, soon acquired for him a reputation as the contriver of these dramatic whimsicalities. He soon became a prolific creator of dramas and eventually gained critical acclaim for his works. He also served as a newspaper drama critic and mentored other writers. ==Early life==
Edward Blanchard was born at 28 Great Queen Street, London, the second son of Sarah the second wife of the actor William Blanchard. A half brother and three half sisters included the actress Elizabeth Blanchard An older brother William was born in 1811. He was educated at Brixton, Ealing and Lichfield, and accompanied his father to New York in 1831, where Elizabeth's husband Thomas Hamblin ran the Bowery theatre. After his return to England, Blanchard visited the exhibition of Holland and Joyce's OxyHydrogen microscope in New Bond Street. When his father died in 1835 when Edward was only 14 years old; he shortly afterwards, dropped out of school and joined a travelling "OxyHydrogen microscope" exhibition, even giving the lectures to the public himself on occasions. However, it did not pay well and he was eventually left stranded in the west of England; fortunately he managed to borrow half a crown from a scene-painter he had met in Bristol, and walked back to London in 3 days. In London, he embarked on a literary career. He soon started writing plays, and had written over 30 of them by the time that he turned 20. His initial plays were written under the pen name Francisco Frost. He was paid only £2 per play when he started writing, and wrote advertisements for businesses and comic songs for clowns to supplement his income. Blanchard began contributing to Renton Nicholson's The Town at the age of 17. He began contributing articles to the paper shortly after it was launched in 1837 and continued writing for them for the next two years. He later described the articles that he wrote there as "social essays and dramatic notices". One of the first articles that he wrote for the paper described underground gambling in Leicester Square. The articles The Town published on the gambling there were later credited with causing the London police to suppress the gambling there. Years later, after Nicholson's death, Blanchard defended Nicholson against some of his critics, contending that he was a kind and generous man who produced much "clever and utterly unobjectionable" work. ==Career==
In 1841 Blanchard was hired by the Olympic Theatre to write regularly for their plays. In 1845 a play that he wrote was staged at the Surrey Theatre for the first time. He also served as a writer and editor for several periodicals in the early 1840s, including Punch and The New London Magazine. He also edited a large work on William Shakespeare by Samuel Phelps. Blanchard travelled extensively in order to write a Bradshaw's Guide, Descriptive Guide to the Great Western Railway, Part II and other guides in the 1840s. Blanchard's most successful position was writing the Drury Lane pantomimes. He contributed pantomimes for that theatre for 37 years. He was applauded for his skill in writing on a variety of different topics, including dramas, farces and burlesques. His work was often praised for good taste and moral themes, in addition to its imaginative qualities. In 1858 he began writing for The Daily Telegraph. He later became the paper's dramatic critic. In that role he served as a mentor to Clement Scott, who later became his successor. In 1859 Blanchard began writing for the Birmingham Daily Gazette, as well. ==Later life==
Blanchard lived in Adelphi Terrace from 1876 until 1889. He had four children and often struggled to support his family due to the limited income he received from his writing. His wife Caroline was active in Louisa Hubbard's Women's Emigration Society that helped indigent young women from London emigrate to Australia or Canada. He died on 4 September 1889 at Albert Mansions, Victoria Street, London, after a long illness described by the attending Doctor as "creeping paralysis". He was buried at Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Cemetery, Hanwell. In 1891 The Life and Reminiscences of E. L. Blanchard was published in two volumes. | 1,012 | null | null | 1,113,738,848 | "2022-10-03T01:28:51" | Edward Litt Laman Blanchard | 2,022 |
Can Jeremy Corbyn turn Chingford red? As Jeremy Corbyn plots a path to power, he is entertaining an idea that was once unimaginable for the Labour Party-- capturing Chingford. The suburban constituency on the outskirts of London is the land of the white van man and a Conservative bastion. Labour getting a foothold up here is possible, but very unlikely, I would have thought. Because these people around here, they won't elect Labour.
Corbyn drew a surprisingly robust crowd when he spoke in Chingford after last year's general election. Look at you all here today. We're young. We're old. We're black. We're white. We're everything because we're united on the kind of world we want to live in. Labour lost the Chingford and Woodford Green seat by less than 2,500 votes, but standing in its way is history. Chingford has been represented over the years by Winston Churchill, and later, Norman Tebbit, one of Margaret Thatcher's closest allies. And for the past 26 years, Iain Duncan Smith, or IDS, as he's better known. His hard line on Brexit and benefits have made him a bogeyman of the left, but beloved by William Tozer, a retired delivery driver. IDS. He always comes over here and knocks on the door to make sure we haven't changed our vote. I think being a Tory is a person who you work hard, you buy what you want, and you don't go anywhere for anything. I've been a Conservative man all me life. And I wouldn't change for Corbyn. I don't think he'd make a good leader in any case. He's not my sort of man. But Chingford is changing, according to Liz Baptiste, a child of Caribbean immigrants from the windrush generation who is now running for a council seat in May's local elections. I've been living in Chingford now for 18 years. And when I first moved to Chingford-- and I'm going to have to use this language, and do forgive me-- it was spot the black. And I say black-- you could expand that even more to say spot the ethnic minority. But now from since then till now, it is just such a big difference. Chingford is diverse. While Liz Baptiste is a Corbyn fan, she admits the proudly socialist leader is not everyone's taste. It's like marmalade. You either love it or you hate it. And I think that's the view for Jeremy Corbyn. But I always put it back to say, what about our labour values? So forget the man. You said you usually vote Labour. Do you think they have any chance? Yeah, he seems like a very nice, down-to-earth, more in touch with reality. Kind and compassionate and thinks of people more than the rest of them. Gentrification is also shaking things up, particularly in the Highams Park neighbourhood. Young urbanites are moving in, bring their politics with them. Wine bars and cafes have followed. The newcomers have been priced out of central London. Tim Bell, who works in video production, moved six months ago from Hackney. Couldn't afford a house there, so we've just had to move farther out. Here seemed like the most-- the best value for [INAUDIBLE] and schools. He has his doubts about a Labour takeover anytime soon. He's progressive, and wants to try and bring back some of the old style Labour principles, but I'm just not sure that he can thrive in this kind of ultra-capitalist society. Labour put up a good fight last year, John Moss, chairman of the local Conservative Party, concedes. But he still can't see them luring the white van man of Chingford. There's a certain independence about them, a certain arsiness basically-- making your own way in the world with your own van and your own tools. They work hard. They make their money. They buy their house. They want to see their kids set up. And I think as long as Jeremy Corbyn is playing this fairly hard left, fairly controlling, fairly high tax kind of agenda, he's never going to get those votes. He's feared by a lot of people. They actually genuinely think that his economic policies will bring ruin to our country. Some people, particularly in the Jewish community, fear him for other reasons. So is Chingford about to go red? I don't think so. | 941 | null | 2018-12-31 00:00:00 | null | null | null | null |

Giovanni van Bronckhorst makes Ibrox crowd call ahead of Rangers Champions League showdown GIOVANNI VAN BRONCKHORST has called on the Ibrox crowd to play its part and inspire Rangers to Champions League success against PSV. The Dutch giants have made the trip to Glasgow for the first leg of the play-off tie aiming to capitalise on their win over Monaco and secure a group stage berth this term. But Ruud van Nistelrooy's side will have to handle the heat at a packed Ibrox this evening as Rangers attempt to secure a positive result to take to Eindhoven next week. A memorable night under the floodlights saw Rangers emerge as 3-0 winners over Union Saint-Gilloise as the Belgians wilted under the pressure on and off the park. And former Feyenoord boss Van Bronckhorst knows all too well the power of the people as he urged supporters to act as the twelfth man once again on the European stage. "Obviously they are both clubs I played for and also coached," Van Bronckhorst said when asked about the atmosphere at Ibrox and De Kuip. "It is a big factor at Feyenoord and also here when you have the great support of the fans. "I think you make it extra special and even more hectic if the performance on the pitch is there because then it will become stronger and stronger. "That is what we have to do and achieve and make sure we are on top of our game. The fans are a big influence. "If you play away from home and the support is really there, it is a different environment. "We have seen all the teams who came here who felt that and we have to make sure that our performance is there and that combined with the atmosphere Ibrox is always on European nights we should have a good result. "We have to take into account the quality of the opponent and prepare well tactically what we want. "I came in November and the first game was against Sparta Prague in the Europa League and the atmosphere was fantastic. "Every game we played after that I think the atmosphere is there. I have no doubt that it will be the same."

Miami Proud: Broward organization is rallying to help seniors in wake of Hurricane Ian MIAMI - Charlotte Mather-Taylor has been busy since Hurricane Ian ravaged southwest Florida communities. As the CEO of the Area Agency on Aging of Broward, it is crunch time. "We are part of a network of Area Agency on Aging offices, and we've been meeting with the others on a daily basis with the Department of Elder Affairs," she said. In the wake of Hurricane Ian, seniors are in need of daily items, and her team is rallying support. "We are currently putting together a supply of walkers, adult diapers, and other supplies that they requested that they need for their seniors," she said. Food and water are at the top of the list, which they have managed to secure and deliver in large quantities. The Sunrise office is serving as a collection site right now for the items requested. The Agency is one of 11 in the state and helps Broward's over-60 population year-round with health and wellness programs, legal and technical support, and ever since the onset of the pandemic, meal delivery. "To this day we have delivered 5.7 million meals to seniors," Mather-Taylor said. "Some of the latest programs created include gift cards for food shopping during this all-time high inflation." There is always a need to help the most vulnerable population, some of who don't have family nearby. Images of dramatic rescues of wheelchair-bound people that made the news this last week cause Mather-Taylor to stress the importance of making sure in the event of another evacuation warning that people take action. "Family members and professional caregivers: If you know of a senior who is vulnerable you need to make sure they evacuate, you don't know what's going to happen with the storms - they can quickly escalate and become much worse than projected," she said. The hurricane relief work is a long road as many seniors who were evacuated to Broward, and other counties could be displaced for an extended time. "There are people that lost their homes, that lost their work or are suffering from many different things, and we are going to be part of a long-term solution," said Mather-Taylor. For more information about this agency's work and their Hurricane Ian efforts, you can call their helpline at (954) 745-9779 or visit their website here.

"It is digital bread crumbs," said Kathryn Haun, a former federal prosecutor and investor at venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. "There's a trail law enforcement can follow rather nicely." Given the public nature of the ledger, cryptocurrency experts said, all law enforcement needed to do was figure out how to connect the criminals to a digital wallet, which stores the Bitcoin. Read more An activist investor successfully waged a battle to install three directors on the board of Exxon Mobil last week with the goal of pushing the energy giant to reduce its carbon footprint. The investor, a hedge fund called Engine No. 1, was virtually unknown before the fight. The tiny firm wouldn't have had a chance were it not for an unusual twist: the support of some of Exxon's biggest institutional investors. BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street voted against Exxon's leadership and gave Engine No. 1 powerful support. These huge investment companies rarely side with activists on such issues. The stunning result turned the sleepy world of boardroom elections into front-page news as climate activists declared a major triumph, and a blindsided Exxon was left to ponder its defeat, Matt Phillips reports for The New York Times. Observers say Engine No. 1"s victory shows there is a path for shareholder activism to change how companies approach issues like racial diversity and the environment, often considered distractions from producing profits. "We're finding that there are other components that factor into a company's overall performance: social, cultural and, now, environmental," said Andrew Freedman, a partner and co-head of the shareholder activism group at Olshan Frome Wolosky, a law firm in New York. "Shareholders are able to now find a way to run a campaign where there's alignment on the initiative because it all feeds to the bottom line." In other words, activist investors can now agitate for changes at companies on the ground that such shifts aren't just the right thing to do but will also enrich shareholders by pushing up the price of the stock. Exxon Mobil isn't the only energy giant facing pressure on climate-related issues. On Wednesday, Royal Dutch Shell said it would accelerate efforts to cut its carbon dioxide emissions, after a Dutch court ruled Shell must reduce its global net carbon emissions by 45 percent by 2030 compared with 2019. Read more Gig companies like Uber and Lyft have long resisted classifying workers as employees, stating in regulatory filings that doing so would force them to alter their business model and risk a financial hit. After California passed a law in 2019 that effectively gave gig workers the legal standing of employees, companies like Uber and Lyft spent some $200 million on a ballot initiative exempting their drivers. To avoid such threats in other states, the companies have pressed for legislation that classifies drivers as contractors, meaning they are not entitled to protections like a minimum wage and unemployment benefits, Noam Scheiber reports for The New York Times. Industry officials have estimated that making drivers employees could raise labor costs 20 to 30 percent. As California considered its bill in 2019, the companies met repeatedly with a few large unions, including the Service Employees International Union and the Teamsters, to discuss a deal. But the talks collapsed because many in the labor movement refused to make significant concessions while holding the legislative upper hand. The California bill passed in September of that year, but after a ballot initiative that exempted drivers was approved last fall, some in labor became more amenable to a deal. New York State, where discussions were already underway, was a natural place to seek one. The initiative in New York has stalled while facing opposition from labor groups as the state's legislative session winds down this week. But the effort seems certain to be revived, and the negotiations - in which the companies offered to grant workers bargaining rights and certain benefits but not all the protections of employment - have indicated what an eventual deal could look like in New York and beyond. Read more The Canadian pipeline company that had long sought to build the Keystone XL pipeline announced Wednesday that it had terminated the embattled project, which would have carried petroleum from Canadian tar sands to Nebraska. The announcement was the death knell for a project that had been on life support since President Biden's first day in office and had been stalled by legal battles for years before that, despite support from the Trump administration. On the day he was inaugurated, Mr. Biden, who has vowed to make tackling climate change a centerpiece of his administration, rescinded the construction permit for the pipeline, which developers had sought to build for over a decade. That same day, TC Energy, the company behind the project, said it was suspending work on the line. On Wednesday, the company wrote in a statement that it "will continue to coordinate with regulators, stakeholders and Indigenous groups to meet its environmental and regulatory commitments and ensure a safe termination of and exit from the project." | 997 | null | 2021-12-31 00:00:00 | null | null | null | null |

But time is running out as German, British and Algarve police battle to find enough evidence to charge convicted child sex offender, rapist and drug dealer Christian with Madeleine's abduction. He is currently serving time in a German jail for drug offences - while appealing against his conviction in December for raping a 72-year-old American woman in Praia da Luz, two years before Madeleine vanished. If that appeal is successful and the rape conviction is overturned, he could be freed as early as Wednesday because he is eligible for parole on his drug sentence. Last week it emerged Christian had been arrested on the Algarve in 2017 for allegedly exposing himself to children in a playground a short drive from Praia da Luz. He was on the run from German authorities at the time and was never charged over the incident in San Bartolomeu de Messines because inquiries were mothballed. Christian denies being involved in Madeleine's disappearance. But German prosecutors say they have clear evidence Madeleine is dead and are conducting their case as a murder inquiry. Scotland Yard says it remains a missing person probe. The Sun revealed last month that new ground searches were planned by Portuguese police after Christian was named. But the focus then was on two homes close to Praia da Luz where Christian had lived during his time on the Algarve.

ABC raid: Outcry as Australian police search public broadcaster Media playback is unsupported on your device Media captionPolice officers arrived at the Sydney headquarters of Australia's public broadcaster on Wednesday morning A police raid on Australian Broadcasting Corp (ABC) has drawn fire from broadcasters and rights groups. Officers arrived at the public broadcaster's Sydney headquarters with search warrants naming two reporters and the news director. The ABC has protested over the raid. Police searched the home of a News Corp journalist on Tuesday, sparking alarm. The BBC said it was "deeply troubling" for a broadcaster to be searched. The leading journalists' union in the country said the two raids represented a "disturbing pattern of assaults on Australian press freedom." Other unions and human rights groups also condemned the actions. In a statement ABC Managing Director David Anderson said the police raid "raises legitimate concerns over freedom of the press." "The ABC stands by its journalists, will protect its sources and continue to report without fear or favour on national security and intelligence issues when there is a clear public interest." ABC News director Gaven Morris defended the two journalists who were named along with him in the search warrant. Why the searches? The police action is related to articles about alleged misconduct by Australian forces in Afghanistan. According to the ABC, Wednesday's search is about the 2017 investigative series known as The Afghan Files which "revealed allegations of unlawful killings and misconduct by Australian special forces in Afghanistan." The broadcaster said the series was "based off hundreds of pages of secret defence documents leaked to the ABC." The Australian Federal Police said the warrant was in relation to "allegations of publishing classified material" and that it "relates to a referral received on 11 July 2017 from the Chief of the Defence Force and the then-Acting Secretary for Defence." Image copyright ABC News Image caption The warrant allows police to access emails, notes, scripts, drafts and other documents The Afghan Files were published by the ABC on 10 July 2017. Tuesday's search at the home of newspaper journalist Annika Smethurst related to her 2018 report about a government plan to spy on Australian citizens. Police said their warrant was linked with "the alleged publishing of information classified as an official secret." The police said Tuesday's and Wednesday's raids were not connected, adding: "Both however relate to separate allegations of publishing classified material, contrary to provisions of the Crimes Act 1914, which is an extremely serious matter that has the potential to undermine Australia's national security." It defended its actions, saying they had "been independent and impartial at all times." ABC journalist John Lyons, who live-tweeted the raid, said that police went through 9,214 documents found on the ABC systems one-by-one, including "thousands of internal ABC emails." Also on Tuesday, Ben Fordham, a broadcaster for radio station 2GB, said that the government was investigating how he had obtained information that up to six boats carrying asylum seekers had recently tried to reach Australia. The BBC contacted the home affairs ministry for comment. A spokesperson would not confirm or deny the existence of the investigation. "The chances of me revealing my sources is zero. Not today, not tomorrow, next week or next month. There is not a hope in hell of that happening," Fordham said. What reaction has there been? The raids have been met with widespread condemnation by media outlets and press freedom groups. The search of Ms Smethurst's home provoked anger from her employer News Corp Australia. The multinational media corporation, owned by press mogul Rupert Murdoch, called the raid "outrageous and heavy-handed" and "a dangerous act of intimidation." News Corp - whose UK titles include The Times and the Sun newspapers - said the public's right to know was being undermined by the Australian government. Image copyright ABC Image caption Annika Smethurst reported top secret discussions about new surveillance powers Peter Greste, director of the Alliance for Journalists' Freedom, said Australians who value press freedom will be concerned by the raids. Mr Greste, a former Al Jazeera reporter, suggested his jailing by the Egyptian government in 2013 on national security charges is "on the same spectrum." The raids could have a "chilling effect on the right of journalists to carry out their jobs," the National Press Club of Australia said in a statement. "The scene might be expected in an authoritarian country but not in a democracy," Reporters Without Borders said of the raids on Twitter. Whistleblowers in the cross-hairs? by Jay Savage, Australia editor, BBC News website Australian journalists have reacted furiously, calling the raids "outrageous" and "chilling"; one editor said he'd "never seen an assault on the media as savage." Police insist that there is no link between the scouring of the ABC and a News Corp Australia journalist's home. | 1,010 | null | 2019-12-31 00:00:00 | null | null | null | null |
One reason why BHP's London-listed shares trade at a discount to their Sydney equivalent is because Australian investors benefit from an arrangement called "dividend franking" - a tax credit that reflects the fact that dividends are paid out of profits that have already been taxed and seeks to reduce double taxation. UK pension funds used to enjoy a similar benefit until tax credits on dividend payments were abolished by the former Chancellor, Gordon Brown, in his notorious raid on pension funds in 1997. BHP said today that "unification will remove the dual listed company-related constraints on dividend arrangements and result in franked distributions being paid directly to all BHP shareholders." The other factor is that UK institutional investors have, in recent years, become increasingly focused on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues that have made some of them squeamish about holding shares in mining companies. This has undoubtedly weighed on BHP shares. The irony is that BHP had worked hard to address such concerns. It was one of the first big global mining companies to quit the coal industry's main lobbying organisation and, early last year, announced plans to exit production of thermal coal. And, as long ago as 2019, it unveiled a then industry-leading plan to link executive pay to climate change targets. Since then, it has offloaded its US shale assets and is now getting out of oil and gas altogether. Even more ironic is that BHP, which today reported its best annual profit for a decade and a bumper dividend that will bring the full year pay-out to a total of $15bn, is currently in a sweet spot. Commodity prices are booming thanks to China's rapid recovery from the pandemic and some in the mining industry believe it stands on the verge of another so-called "super cycle." Others will argue that this is as good as it gets - but, either way, it seems likely that fewer UK investors than before will have exposure to this particular miner in future.

"Shares of Apple traded higher post-close as we think the company's June quarter guide + commentary support the view that we are now seeing indications stabilizing / bottoming iPhone demand (particularly in China), coupled with continued solid double-digit growth in Apple's services business (+16% y/y). While Greater China revenue declined 21.5% y/y in the March quarter, Apple reported that it saw better y/y iPhone performance in the last few weeks of the March quarter than the full quarter and what the company views as a trough in the months of Nov and Dec '18. Apple reported that improved demand has been driven by: (1) Apple's pricing actions and trade-in / financing programs, (2) China's consumer stimulus efforts / reduction of VAT rates, and (3) improved U.S. / China trade dialogue. While Apple highlighted the success of its iPhone trade-in program, in part driven by its higher incentives, we think anticipation of a 5G iPhone in 2020 could impact upgrades. As such, we are leaving our forward estimates relatively unchanged with C2019 and C2020 at $255.9B / $11.55 and $274.6B / $13.62 vs. our prior estimate of $249.7B / $11.58 and $272.8B / $13.62. We maintain our Market Perform rating; adjust our price target to $215/sh. (15.8x P/E C2020E vs. 5-yr. median of 13.4x). We continue to have a cautious view on Apple's Services growth sustainability over the coming quarters." Goldman- Neutral rating "While iPhone numbers were weaker than we had expected we were pleasantly surprised by positive trends in iPad, Wearable and Mac in both reported revenues and guidance. In guidance, we believe that new iPad Mini/Air models, Airpods and non-CPU supply constrained Macs add up to slightly better revenue even as iPhone results remain lackluster. Though in line with our above consensus expectations we point out that guided Opex implies operating margins of ~21% that have not been seen since 2008 when the iPhone was just getting started. We believe fundamentals get more challenging as the year progresses and that the stock remains toward the top of its valuation range vs. the S&P 500. We reiterate our Neutral rating." Credit Suisse- Neutral rating "While "less bad" is a significant improvement from the rough start to the year, we remain Neutral as we see a long road to recovery for iPhone with a ~1yr jump in the net replacement cycle in CY19 (per CSe) and further extension ahead of 5G in 2H20. Further, while we recognize the potential in the shift to Services we don't think it's enough to move estimates meaningfully higher over the near-to-medium term, leaving upside for the stock more dependent on the multiple re-rating higher. Against a backdrop of sizeable iPhone sales declines, we think the investor perception of Apple as a hardware-centric company will be tough to shake. With the stock trading near a peak multiple, we remain on the sidelines awaiting a better entry point and/or line-of sight to significant Services-led upside." Bernstein- Market perform rating "Apple's fiscal Q2 was fine. On net, we continue to see risk-reward on Apple as relatively neutral. While numbers for FY 19 are likely safe and the stock tactically tends to outperform around this time of year, we note that Apple's valuation has already returned to its peak from last year, next year's iPhone cycle appears uninspiring (with 5G most likely destined for introduction in Sept 2020), and this cycle's temporary price cuts will not resolve the fundamental question circling the stock, i.e. the structural lengthening of iPhone replacement cycles."

Is the fact that one single store was asked to give up its alcohol license intersting (especially for being an entire section)? Its like saying my Chevette broke down in the Chevrolet article; just seems petty to put in an article. What do people think about removing it? Removed. Be_bold. The article doesn't say how many restaurants serve alcohol, but even if 1/5 of its 524 locations did it'd still be less than 1%. There's no indication that this is a chain wide issue. Also, this did not receive national coverage and enter into the popular conscience. If there are future incidents and a pattern develops, then this section should be reinstated.

VIP paedophile accuser 'Nick' named for the first time as Carl Beech The man known as 'Nick', whose accusations sparked the VIP paedophile investigation and who has been charged with perverting the course of justice, can today be named as Carl Beech. The real identity of Mr Beech, a 50-year-old former NHS manager and father of one, had been shrouded in secrecy since he first came forward four years ago claiming he had been sexually abused by a group of high profile figures and leading politicians when he was a child in the 1970s and 1980s. But he can finally be named after a legal restriction was lifted during a hearing at Newcastle Crown Court. It can now be revealed that Mr Beech is a former governor of two schools. Born in Wrexham, his mother is a retired Church of England vicar. After leaving school he qualified as a nurse before moving into NHS management, becoming the head of patient advice, liaison services and complaints at a large trust. He is also a fellow of the Institute of Health Management. He married a fellow nurse in 1992 and they have one son, but the marriage broke down a number of years ago. In 2014 Scotland Yard launched a major criminal investigation, Operation Midland, after Mr Beech came forward and told detectives he had been the victim of historic abuse.

This phenomenon can be observed through wing-flick signaling where conidia are able to easily travel by wing flick between individuals during the process of mating. Cicadas infected with Massospora cicadina and exhibit abnormal wing-flick behavior create a significantly higher chance of spreading infectious conidia to others. Stage I
During Stage I infections by Massospora cicadina, fungal conidia are spread throughout the adult population of cicadas. This stage is usually accomplished through wing-flick signaling and as mentioned, wing-flick is usually observed in females responding to a male call. When individuals are infected with Massospora cicadina however, males respond using wing-flick signaling for the further spread of conidia among the population. Males who are infected will exhibit wing-flick behavior as a response to copulation attempts from conspecific males in the chorus resulting in the further spread of infective conidiospores to other healthy males. Stage I infections use direct contact between individuals to achieve successful transmission. Data suggest that cicadas with Stage I infections spend more time leaving behind trails of conidiospores for others to encounter than Stage II infected cicadas. Stage II
In contrast to Stage I, cicadas with Stage II infections spend more time flying and releasing spores from their damaged abdomens. Males with Stage II infections produce diploid resting spores that will infect the next cicada generation emerging in 13 or 17 years. Resting spores that remain in the soil during Stage II rather than conidia released into the environment during Stage I is the main difference observed between the two stages of infection. Nymphs who emerge every 13 or 17 years depending on the region in which they live will eventually encounter these resting spores leading to further infection of the population as a whole. Horizontal and Vertical Transfer
The are two modes of transmission that exist in nature: horizontal transfer and vertical transfer. Horizontal transfer can be seen during the transmission of Massospora cicadina through the reproduction process of two adult cicadas. The fungus Massospora produces two main types of spores, conidia that are released into the environment for adult cicadas to encounter and resting spores that remain dormant in the soil for emerging nymphs to encounter. Since horizontal transfer relies on direct contact between fungi and host, horizontal transmission is said to be more risky than vertical transmission. However, wing flick and the manipulation of a host's mating process ensures successful transmission with both correct timing and close contact between individuals. The resting spores left behind by adult cicadas that burrow into the soil during verticle transmission can germinate for variable lengths of time before eventually leading to infection. This means that the spores produced by Massospora must become active at the correct period of time in order to successfully infect their host cicada. However, spore availability regardless of synchronization with emerging cicadas has been found to play a factor in successful infection. In one study, Massospora cicadina spores appeared to be capable of germinating after less than a year. These results suggest that Massospora cicadina resting spores do not require a 13 or 17 year dormant period along with their emerging host cicada during vertical transmission in order for infection to occur and can freely infect hosts they come into close contact with during mating. During horizontal gene transfer of Massospora to it's periodical cicada host, it ultimately involves close contact between the two. Timing does play a role during vertical transmission, however the fungi seems to have evolved into being time-independent during the infection process. These modes of transmission are important in understanding the processes by which infection occurs and the behavioral manipulations that result from it. Chemical Signaling
When discussing the chemical pathways that occur during a fungal infection, there are two modes of action that occur: direct action and indirect action. Direct action of chemical signaling describes secreted factors (effectors) that could act directly on neurons to change behavioral output. Indirect action involves a change in the internal state or integrity of tissue. For behavior-manipulating fungi, both direct and indirect chemical signaling are possible mechanisms. One study found metabolite effectors such as the alkaloids psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) and amphetamine cathinone in M. platypediae', and . Alkaloids such as psilocybin and cathinone are well-known for having behavioral effects and are a example of direct action of chemical signaling that cause behavioral changes observed in infected cicadas. Indirect action can be seen through the dispersal of conidia to others after production of these alkaloids resulting in a behavioral change. | 1,000 | null | null | 1,087,066,139 | "2022-05-10T03:32:57" | Jojones0805/Massospora | 2,022 |

Tanzania Starts Issuing Electronic Certificates for Covid-19 Vaccination Dar es Salaam - Tanzania government has started providing electronic Covid-19 vaccine Electronic Certificates that fulfill international requirements as confirmation for those who are vaccinated. The release of electronic cards has started today August 12, during the vaccination campaign for journalists, artists and other citizens who went to get the jab at the Karimjee Hall, Dar es Salaam. READ: Tanzania has vaccinated over 100,000 as government warns against fake jab certificates The special electronic cards have a QR Code and it contains confidential information such as the recipient's personal details, the vaccine he received, the time and place. Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Health, Professor Abel Makubi said for those issued with a hard copy certificate starting next week will be contacted and will be provided with new electronic cards after being satisfied with the ministry's reports. Prof Makubi last week issued a warning to people who will try to get Covid-19 vaccination certificates through fraud that they will be identified by the system and strict legal action will be taken. "The ministry is aware of the sequence of the numbers provided and which station has been issued so, in case one number is repeated the investigation will start with the healthcare workers who provided the numbers and those with certificates. "Therefore, I call on healthcare workers who provides vaccines and recipients to fulfill their responsibilities and refrain from any fraud," he said. For his part, acting ICT manager from health ministry Silvanus Ilomo said they opted to provide cards through digitals system since it cannot be fogged; for those who were provided with hard copy certificates will have to return before being provided with the electronic ones.

Hurdler Amusan sets surprise record in 100m at worlds EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - Nigeria's Tobi Amusan set a world record hardly anyone saw coming, crossing the line in the semifinal heat of the women's 100-meter hurdles Sunday in 12.12 seconds at the world championships. The 25-year-old, who finished fourth at last year's Olympics, held her arms out in amazement when she saw the time flash, then threw them to the heavens before sharing a hug with Jamaica's Danielle Williams. The wind was legal at 0.9 meters per second. Amusan broke the six-year-old record of 12.20 seconds held by Keni Harrison, who was in the same heat and finished second. In 2016, Harrison also broke the record under unusual circumstances - in London, a week before the Olympics started after she had failed to qualify for the U.S. team heading to Rio de Janeiro. There was hardly any time to celebrate for the one-time hurdler at UTEP who considers Jamaican sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce her hero. The gold-medal race was set for about 90 minutes after she exited the track. Amusan's record came on the opening race of an evening session expected to be headlined by the Americans. The U.S. came into the evening with 28 medals and needed three to break the world championships record. Races on the schedule included the men's and women's 4×400 relays and the women's 800 meters, all of which the U.S. had a good chance to win. Amusan's was the second world record broken at the championships. Two days earlier, American Sydney McLaughlin ran 50.68 to break her own mark in the women's 400 hurdles.

The urinary system, also known as the urinary tract or renal system, consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and the urethra. The purpose of the urinary system is to eliminate waste from the body, regulate blood volume and blood pressure, control levels of electrolytes and metabolites, and regulate blood pH. The urinary tract is the body's drainage system for the eventual removal of urine. The kidneys have an extensive blood supply via the renal arteries which leave the kidneys via the renal vein. Each kidney consists of functional units called nephrons. Following filtration of blood and further processing, wastes (in the form of urine) exit the kidney via the ureters, tubes made of smooth muscle fibres that propel urine towards the urinary bladder, where it is stored and subsequently expelled from the body by urination (voiding). The female and male urinary system are very similar, differing only in the length of the urethra. Urine is formed in the kidneys through a filtration of blood. The urine is then passed through the ureters to the bladder, where it is stored. During urination, the urine is passed from the bladder through the urethra to the outside of the body. 8002,000 milliliters (mL) of urine are normally produced every day in a healthy human. This amount varies according to fluid intake and kidney function. ==Structure==
The urinary system refers to the structures that produce and transport urine to the point of excretion. In the human urinary system there are two kidneys that are located between the dorsal body wall and parietal peritoneum on both the left and right sides. The formation of urine begins within the functional unit of the kidney, the nephrons. Urine then flows through the nephrons, through a system of converging tubules called collecting ducts. These collecting ducts then join together to form the minor calyces, followed by the major calyces that ultimately join the renal pelvis. From here, urine continues its flow from the renal pelvis into the ureter, transporting urine into the urinary bladder. The anatomy of the human urinary system differs between males and females at the level of the urinary bladder. In males, the urethra begins at the internal urethral orifice in the trigone of the bladder, continues through the external urethral orifice, and then becomes the prostatic, membranous, bulbar, and penile urethra. Urine exits through the external urethral meatus. The female urethra is much shorter, beginning at the bladder neck and terminating in the vaginal vestibule. ===Development===
===Microanatomy===
Under microscopy, the urinary system is covered in a unique lining called urothelium, a type of transitional epithelium. Unlike the epithelial lining of most organs, transitional epithelium can flatten and distend. Urothelium covers most of the urinary system, including the renal pelvis, ureters, and bladder. ==Function==
The main functions of the urinary system and its components are to:
Regulate blood volume and composition (e.g. sodium, potassium and calcium)
Regulate blood pressure. Regulate pH homeostasis of the blood. Contributes to the production of red blood cells by the kidney. Helps synthesize calcitriol (the active form of Vitamin D). Stores waste products (mainly urea and uric acid) before it and other products are removed from the body. ===Urine formation===
Average urine production in adult humans is about 12 litres (L) per day, depending on state of hydration, activity level, environmental factors, weight, and the individual's health. Producing too much or too little urine requires medical attention. Polyuria is a condition of excessive urine production (> 2.5 L/day). Oliguria when < 400 mL (millilitres) are produced, and anuria one of < 100 mL per day. The first step in urine formation is the filtration of blood in the kidneys. In a healthy human the kidney receives between 12 and 30% of cardiac output, but it averages about 20% or about 1.25 L/min. The basic structural and functional unit of the kidney is the nephron. Its chief function is to regulate the concentration of water and soluble substances like sodium by filtering the blood, reabsorbing what is needed and excreting the rest as urine. In the first part of the nephron, Bowman's capsule filters blood from the circulatory system into the tubules. Hydrostatic and osmotic pressure gradients facilitate filtration across a semipermeable membrane. | 1,015 | null | null | 1,130,432,506 | "2022-12-30T04:12:01" | Urinary system | 2,022 |
Tottenham vs Manchester United: Bruno Fernandes explains instant chemistry with Paul Pogba Bruno Fernandes says his partnership alongside Paul Pogba in training was key after the pair showed an instant connection as Manchester United restarted their Premier League campaign with a draw against Tottenham. Fernandes took the Premier League by storm after arriving from Sporting Lisbon in January, guiding United to an impressive 11-game unbeaten run. With Pogba sidelined with a long-term injury, alongside the three-month lay-off due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the highly anticipated pairing between the two midfielders was made to wait. However, Pogba's 30-minute cameo against Tottenham was enough to provide United fans with plenty of optimism, with the dynamic pair linking up seamlessly. With Tottenham holding on to a 1-0 lead with 10 minutes remaining, Pogba showed his worth with a sublime piece of trickery, taking the ball past Eric Dier who brought him down in the box.
Fernandes calmly dispatched the resulting penalty and subsequently revealed what it was like to finally play alongside his team-mate. "We did very well," Fernandes told Sky Sports. "It was a difficult game. They scored on the counter but we were in the game all the time. We had a lot of chances. "It's not enough for us because we want to win every game bit a good result." Asked how it was to finally play alongside Pogba, Fernandes said: "We've been training hard in the past weeks. When we train in groups, I was in a group with Paul Pogba so finding a connection is easier "I found a good connection with everyone and the most important thing is the team, I think Paul thinks the same. "Paul won the penalty and I kicked it... it doesn't matter who scored or anything. The more important thing is winning. "We need to look at the Champions League. At the end I kicked the ball and then found his foot. The VAR is here to help, if it says no penalty we have to accept."

The News Agents is a daily podcast produced by Global Media & Entertainment in the United Kingdom, and presented by Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall, with Dino Sofos as Executive Producer. It launched on 30 August 2022, with episodes released from 5pm daily. ==Overview==
Presented by Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall, The News Agents is a podcast that examines the day's news stories with a more informal presenting style than media outlets such as the BBC. It is marketed as an alternative to Radio 4’s Today (although Fiona Sturges of The Financial Times has suggested "its real rival is The Rest Is Politics", a political podcast presented by Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart). It is produced by Dino Sofos, who had previously worked with Maitlis and Sopel on the BBC's Americast podcast, as well as producing The Next Episode and the award-winning Brexitcast (latterly Newscast) podcasts for BBC News, but who left the BBC in November 2021 to establish his own production company, Persephonica, alongside Tom O'Hara. ==History==
Details of a podcast presented by Maitlis and Sopel were first revealed in February 2022, when it was announced both would be leaving BBC News to join Global. Maitlis, a present of Newsnight, and Sopel, the BBC's North America correspondent, had previously worked together on the BBC's Americast podcast. On 22 August, Global confirmed The News Agents would launch the following week, with Maitlis and Sopel presenting from Mondays to Thursdays, and Goodall presenting on Fridays. The podcast received extensive pre-launch publicity, which James Marriott, writing in The Times, has described as a "weeks-long publicity blitz" that promised a "suave up-to-date show that would blast aside the staid, fuddy-duddy stuff on Olde-Worlde radio". A few days before the podcast's launch, Maitlis delivered the 2022 MacTaggart Lecture at the Edinburgh Television Festival during which she spoke of what she believed to be a threat posed to journalism by populist politicians. The opening edition, titled Trump – Prison or President?, focused on the FBI investigation into Donald Trump's handling of presidential documents and the subsequent raid on his Mar-a-Lago estate, with Anthony Scaramucci, the former White House Director of Communications, appearing as a guest. The presenters adopted a more informal presenting style than they are known for from their work at the BBC, with Maitlis referring to Sopel "Sopes", Scaramucci "Mooch" and Goodall "Luigi", declaring that "everyone has to have a nickname". Subsequent episodes focussed on domestic topics such as the July–September 2022 Conservative Party leadership election and the issues facing the incoming prime minister. ==Reception==
The first edition received a mixed reception, with reviewers praising the quality of its content but expressing concern about the informal approach of its presenters. James Marriott of The Times described it as "slick but a little baffling" with "tantalising glimpses of the much better show that will doubtless be constructed from all the beautiful, uber-professional moving parts that are welded together so oddly in this first episode"., while Sean O'Grady of The Independent felt it was "balanced, informative and analytical" but was less impressed with the presenting style: "The thing I actively disliked about the podcast was the very thing that is supposed to make these exercises so refreshing and fun – that terrible forced chumminess and informality, supposed to be like three old friends gossiping in a bar". Mark Lawson of The Guardian suggested the edition "most resembled the post-show Newsnight green room cool-down, with presenters and contributors speaking slightly more loosely", and that it "is bold of Global" to launch the podcast, but concluded "It remains to be seen, though, if the best use is being made of these latest big-money signings". Judith Woods of The Telegraph was critical of the episode for choosing to focus on an international story rather than focusing on UK news topics "on a day when the warned of a doctors’ strike, a police investigation was reopened on an alleged child grooming gang in Hull and Goldman Sachs suggested inflation could top 22 per cent next year". The topic choice was also highlighted by Fiona Sturges of The Financial Times, particularly as the Mar-a-Lago raid was by then an old news story; she highlighted other problems as well: "a surfeit of interviews with commentators you've never heard of; phoney-sounding listener questions; and, Lord help us, the small talk" which "comes over as forced and unfunny". On 4 September it was reported that The News Agents had topped the Apple UK Podcast Chart. | 1,014 | null | null | 1,129,113,443 | "2022-12-23T17:17:27" | The News Agents | 2,022 |

The Tri-State Highway was the designation for an 18 mile expressway in the Chicago metropolitan area. The original designations for the expressway were Interstate 80, 90, and 294, as well as a portion of U.S. Route 6. It connects the Tri-State Tollway, Bishop Ford Freeway, and Illinois Route 394 in the west to the Indiana Toll Road in the east. In 1953, the Tri-State Highway was renamed. The road that was once part of the Tri-State Highway is now:

Rafiq Shahadah (رفيق شحادة, born 1956) is a Syrian Army major general. He was head of the Military Intelligence Directorate and the chief of staff of the Syrian Army's operations in Eastern Syria. ==Early life==
Shahadah was born in Jableh, Latakia Governorate, in 1956. ==Career==
Shahadah was an adviser to President Bashar Al-Assad on strategic questions and military intelligence. At the initial phase of Syrian war Shahadah was serving as a security official in Homs. During his tenure Marie Colvin, a war correspondent, was killed in an attack in February 2012 which was confirmed by Shahadah who stated "Marie Colvin was a dog and now she’s dead. Let the Americans help her now." Shahadah was appointed chief of the Military Intelligence Directorate in July 2012, replacing Abdul Fatah Qudsiya, who then became the deputy director of the National Security Bureau. In 2015, Shahadah was dismissed from his role as director of Military Intelligence Directorate, following a dispute with Lt. General Rustum Ghazaleh. ==Sanctions==
On 24 August 2011, the European Union sanctioned Shahada and stated that he was the head of military intelligence's branch 293 which is charged with internal affairs in Damascus. The EU accused him of being "directly involved in repression and violence against the civilian population." The same day, the Treasury of the United Kingdom also froze his assets. The Swiss government sanctioned him the following month based on the reasons given by the EU. Canada banned him from the country in October 2011. ==References==

Federal Judge Rules Against Fair Fight Action in Georgia Voting Lawsuit ATLANTA - A federal judge on Friday evening ruled that Georgia's election law does not violate voters" constitutional rights, dealing a blow to Fair Fight Action, the voting rights group aligned with the Democratic nominee for governor, Stacey Abrams. U.S. District Court Judge Steven Jones ruled against all the claims brought by Fair Fight Action, which had challenged Georgia's absentee ballot provisions, oversight of voter rolls and the state's "exact match" law, which mandates that a voter's name on their voter application be identical to their government identification, even in the case of hyphens or accent marks. A majority of the voter applications flagged for inconsistencies in 2018 belonged to voters of color, according to an investigation by The Associated Press. "Although Georgia's election system is not perfect, the challenged practices violate neither the constitution nor the Voting Rights Act," Judge Jones wrote in his 288-page order. The judge, who was nominated by President Barack Obama, added that the "burden on voters is relatively low" and that Fair Fight Action did not provide "direct evidence of a voter who was unable to vote, experienced longer wait times, was confused about voter registration status." The plaintiffs, many of whom were Georgia voters, had argued that the 2018 election had been marked by a number of barriers to access to the ballot that had been racially discriminatory. Subsequent research showed that Georgia voters in 2018 saw longer lines in majority-minority precincts, faulty election equipment and undertrained staff. In a statement, the Fair Fight Action executive director Cianti Stewart-Reid called the ruling a "significant loss for the voting rights community in Georgia and across the country." The ruling, which caps a four-year legal battle between the voting rights group and Georgia's secretary of state, is a blow to Ms. Abrams, who founded Fair Fight in 2018 after losing to now-Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican, by less than 60,000 votes in her first run for governor. She has said she believes discriminatory election rules were a factor in her loss. "Over the past four years, Fair Fight and its allies have exposed a deeply flawed and problematic system," Ms. Abrams, who is running in a rematch against Mr. Kemp, said in a statement. "As the judge says in his first sentence, "This is a voting rights case that resulted in wins and losses for all parties." However, the battle for voter empowerment over voter suppression persists, and the cause of voter access endures. I will not stop fighting to ensure every vote can be cast, every ballot is counted and every voice is heard." In a statement issued on Friday evening, Mr. Kemp said that the ruling "exposes this legal effort for what it really is: a tool wielded by a politician hoping to wrongfully weaponize the legal system to further her own political goals."

It featured contestants from England, Russia, Turkey, and many other nations and the title awarded at the time was known as "Miss Universe". The event was discontinued in the United States in 1932 because of the Depression (the international competition was revived briefly in Belgium). ====After World War II====
The popularity of the Miss America pageant prompted other organizations to establish similar contests in the 1950s and beyond. Some were significant while others were trivial, such as the National Donut Queen contest. The Miss World contest started in 1951, Miss Universe started in 1952 as did Miss USA. Miss International started in 1960. Miss Asia Pacific International which started in 1968 is the first and oldest beauty pageant in Asia. The Miss Black America contest started in 1968 in response to the exclusion of African American women from the Miss America pageant. The Miss Universe Organization started the Miss Teen USA in 1983 for the 14-19 age group. Miss Earth started in 2001, which channels the beauty pageant entertainment industry as an effective tool to actively promote the preservation of the environment. These contests continue to this day. ====Swimsuit competition====
The requirement for contestants to wear a swimsuit was a controversial aspect of the various competitions. The controversy was heightened with the increasing popularity of the bikini after its introduction in 1946. The bikini was banned for the Miss America contest in 1947 because of Roman Catholic protesters. When the Miss World contest started in 1951, there was an outcry when the winner was crowned in a bikini. Pope Pius XII condemned the crowning as sinful, and countries with religious traditions threatened to withdraw delegates. The bikini was banned for future and other contests. It was not until the late 1990s that they became permitted again, but still generated controversy when finals were held in countries where bikinis (or swimsuits in general) were socially disapproved. For example, in 2003, Vida Samadzai from Afghanistan caused an uproar in her native country when she participated in the Miss Earth 2003 contest in a red bikini. She was condemned by the Afghan Supreme Court, saying such a display of the female body goes against Islamic law and Afghan culture. In 2013, the swimsuit round of the Miss World contest was dropped because of Islamist protests in Bali (Indonesia), where the contest took place. In 2014, the Miss World contest eliminated the swimsuit competition from its pageant. In 2018, Miss America eliminated the swimsuit competition after 97 years. In 2017, Carousel Productions was criticized for objectifying women during the Miss Earth 2017 competition where delegates wore swimsuits during the event with their faces concealed by a veil in the Beauty of Figure and Form, a segment first introduced in the Miss Philippines Earth 2017 pageant. It was one of the three preliminary judging segments of the pageant that include Poise and Beauty of Face and Environmental and Intelligence Competition. The organizers defended the "beauty of figure and form" segment and released a statement that the said round was intended to promote strict impartiality during pre-judging by focusing on the contestants' curves, execution and not beautiful face. ==Major beauty pageants==
The term "beauty pageant" refers largely to contests for women. Major international contests for women include the yearly Miss World competition (founded by Eric Morley in 1951), Miss Universe (founded in 1952), Miss International (founded in 1960), and Miss Earth (founded in 2001 with environmental awareness as its concern). These are considered the Big 4 pageants, the four largest and most famous international beauty contests for single or unmarried women. ===Big Four international beauty pageants===

Let's allow that gravity, magnetism, daylight etc are all unchanged (perhaps this flat Earth has been faked up by aliens who enjoy watching us scampering in our playpen). So, perhaps, for many people, especially those near the centre, life would be basically unchanged. The one huge difference that cannot be ignored is the edge. Whether it's implemented as a cliff edge, or a wall, or an invisible force field, it would have profound effects on society. Perhaps religion would step in to prevent people approaching it. Perhaps we would throw criminals over it, or our rubbish. Perhaps explorers would attempt to scale it. paulreilly If the Earth were flat, we would find that we cannot account for anything we see in the sky, especially the sun, moon and planets. We would have to accept that these are just "luminaries," which are mysteriously unknowable to us. We would be happy in this unknowing, for it is clearly what God intends. Until we got the telescopes out, of course, and had a really good look. Then we would see that the moon is obviously a globe, as are Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and Venus. We'd see that Jupiter has its own moons, happily orbiting away. We would notice sunspots and see how they move across the surface of the sun, showing that it is also a rotating globe. Sorry, God. Pretty soon, some clever clogs would figure out how the same force that causes apples to fall from trees also causes the movement of the planets; not long after that, someone else would work out that all objects over a certain size tend to form themselves into globe shapes because of this force. After that, it is only a matter of time before someone realises that an object the size of the Earth can be only one shape - and it isn't flat. I could be wrong, of course. It might be that some much earlier clever clogs experiments with the length of shadows cast by sticks at midday and notices that they are longer if you travel farther north; someone that clever might be able to understand the shape of the Earth long before telescopes. To summarise: it can only be a flat Earth until you start thinking about it. ThatBlokeBruce Flat Earth rising: meet the people casting aside 2,500 years of science - video Our measurements of the motions of the planets, and our observations of the way the sunlight hits them, prove that the sun is the centre of the solar system. So, if the Earth was flat and did not spin, it would either always have sunlight on the top or underneath, in which case the part we live on would either be totally frozen or too hot for water to be liquid, or it would spin on a horizontal axis, in which case we would have days and nights but all the water would slide off the sides away from the axis due to Coriolis forces. So we would never have evolved. It's highly, highly unlikely that any life would have begun. And that's just the beginning of the problems. EdgarCarpenter A lot of these answers approach the question from a physics perspective. I've enjoyed thinking about it from a more mathematical point of view: how to map points on the surface of a sphere in 3D to points on a plane? One way might be to map the points to a planar annulus (that's the region defined in 2D space by two concentric circles). I think that might work, although it yields very weird results for great circles. If you walked around the annulus world starting out due west, it could take 1,000 times as long as it would if you headed due north. AlCramer We should ask what a flat Earther would make of the M25 orbital, as the road seems to go in a straight line when driving on it and yet after several roadblocks and long queues you reach the same starting point. If we get some sort of sensible answer, which I doubt we will, we can then try to extrapolate it to the third dimension. Wishful thinking, I know. cycling_uk If the world was flat, we would be blissfully out of contact with billionaire space tourists for half the time they were orbiting the planet. Richard Simmons If the Earth was flat, we would not have to cycle up hill. I've already given this too much thought. Dae Pandy, Wales Road signs such as "The end is near," "Dead end ahead" and "The end of the line" would sound more ominous. Richard Orlando, Quebec We would have to deal with the unbearable smugness of the flat Earthers being right... Dave Smith

Unlike other releases by Cave, it hadn't seen a contemporary home console port due to rights and publishing issues with Atlus. On December 19, 2019, M2 published a port for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 titled ESP. Psi in physical and digital editions under their M2 ShotTriggers label. This version features the original arcade release and additions such as enhanced visuals, extra modes, re-recorded voiceovers and a new playable character called Alice Master. == Reception and legacy ==
In Japan, Game Machine listed ESP. on their June 15, 1998 issue as being the fifth most-popular arcade game for the previous two weeks. Player One's François Daniel and Reyda Seddiki regarded its power gauge mechanic as unique compared to competing shoot 'em ups. Hardcore Gaming 101's Nick Zverloff stated that the game's scoring system was convoluted and complicated but praised the stylistic presentation, Inoue's artwork and audio design, regarding the title as "one of Cave's underrated classics" but found Irori's voice to be annoying. Famitsu's four reviewers praised the inclusion of "Super Easy" and "Irori's Room" modes in the Psi version, as well as the addition of a new playable character. Nintendo Life's Mark MSX compared its visual style with both Akira and Ghost in the Shell, while finding its gameplay and scoring mechanics to be departures from DoDonPachi but commended the Psi version for addressing issues with the original scoring mechanic, the new playable character, user interface and extra modes but criticized the lack of an "arranged" mode and additional music options. ESP. spawned two spin-offs in the form of Espgaluda (2003) and Espgaluda II (2005). Junya Inoue has since regarded both titles as fine for what they are, though he felt that the term "ESP" does not go well with their lore. == Notes ==

RoomSync, a product developed by U-Match, LLC, is an online roommate matching service based in Gainesville, Florida that works with student housing properties and on-campus housing offices. It is a Facebook-based application that allows users to self-select their roommates by researching potential roommates using their Facebook profiles and lifestyle questionnaire responses. By 2013, RoomSync had more than 100,000 users that utilized the application to choose their roommates. == History ==
RoomSync was founded in August 2007 by Rob Castellucci, Alex Edelsburg, Michael Hacker, and Ariel Himmelstern. The idea for the company came about while Castellucci was working as a leasing consultant at a student housing complex in Gainesville, Florida. During this time, Castellucci received various calls for roommate switches due to students researching their matched roommates and not liking what they saw. It wasn’t until the launch of Facebook Platform in 2007 that RoomSync came to life with their first name of “RoomBug” as an application that could be hosted through Facebook. RoomSync started working with their first client, the University of Florida, in 2009. In July 2010, the company changed its name from RoomBug to what it is known as today, RoomSync. In 2009, RoomSync was named one of the top 50 fbFund finalists. Facebook’s seed fund and mentorship program with Accel Partners and Founders Fund was established to help and enable talented developers and entrepreneurs to build sustainable businesses on Facebook. ==Features==
RoomSync enables users to upload personal information to their RoomSync profile using the information that is already on a users Facebook profile plus a questionnaire that lets users share lifestyle habits such as cleanliness levels, studying habits, sleep cycles, and more. In 2012, RoomSync started offering White-label product features to their clients that allows clients to apply their own identity/brand to the Facebook Application but is still fully supported and serviced by RoomSync. RoomSync offers access to its application on both computers or through an Android (operating system) mobile device. Users do not pay for the use of RoomSync since the general client such as a leasing office or university housing office pays this service fee. ==Controversy ==
In August 2010, The New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd wrote an article titled “Don’t Send In the Clones” where she challenged the self-selection process of roommates that is offered by RoomSync. Dowd argues that “the serendipity of ending up with roommates that you like, despite your differences, or can’t stand, despite your similarities, or grow to like, despite your reservations, is an experience that toughens you up and broadens you out for the rest of life.”
One RoomSync client school was concerned about the effect on diversity while using RoomSync for roommate matching. According to research done by the University of Florida, more than 85% of incoming freshmen submitted a roommate request via the UF housing portal with no adverse effect on ethnic diversity. == News ==
In August 2010 Lisa W. Foderaro of The New York Times wrote “Roommates Who Click” where she discussed the events of a recent high school grad that found her New York University roommate using online websites such as. Foderaro mentioned the use of RoomBug (now RoomSync) to find roommates and how RoomSync emphasized security. Lisa Foderaro mentions how “social networking sites such as Facebook have pressured colleges to cede control of the roommate process.”

So what do immigrants get from coming to the U.S. short term? They can build up some savings and they can bring that home to start businesses or buy land. They can learn new things here and they can bring those ideas back home as well. So we've seen that happen with a lot of European innovation of the return migrants from 100 years ago. The same thing is true today. ALISON BEARD: So Ran, we heard Leah's family immigration story. Do you have one? RAN ABRAMITZKY: Well yes. So I'm an immigrant myself. So I moved to the United States in 1999 to do my PhD in economics at Northwestern in Chicago. My kids are children of immigrants, but my entire family history is about immigration. So my grandparents lost their family in the Holocaust and then moved to either Palestine at the time, Israel later or to the United States. A lot of my family, my entire family, is about immigration and people moving around either because of persecution or for economic reasons. So that was one thing that I was always drawn to study is the immigration and inequality and the opportunities that immigrants and refugees have in the United States and in other places. ALISON BEARD: Well, I just wanted to end by saying that one of my favorite lines from your book, and I'm going to paraphrase because I'm not going to get it exactly right, was that immigrants don't find streets of gold here. They actually pave their own way. I think that's just a great encapsulation of the research that you found. It is that hard work that Lin-Manuel Miranda talked about in Hamilton and the sort of pulling yourself by the bootstraps, even if it's not in that first generation, but ensuring that your kids you know. RAN ABRAMITZKY: And that's where the title of our book came from. There's a painting on the wall of Ellis Island Museum that an immigrant, I think around 1903, it's an anonymous immigrant, I think it might have been Italian who said something like I came to America because I heard the streets were paved with gold. But when I got here, I found out three things. The first was that the streets were not paved with gold. Second, they were not paved at all, and third I was the one expected to pave them. ALISON BEARD: Ran, Leah, thank you so much for being with me today. RAN ABRAMITZKY: Thank you so much for having us. ALISON BEARD: That Stanford's Ran Abramitzky and Princeton's Leah Boustan, co-authors of the book Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success. That Stanford's Ran Abramitzky and Princeton's Leah Boustan, co-authors of the book Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success.

Kilroy: Behind the Tan' is a 2005 television documentary about the British politician and broadcaster Robert Kilroy-Silk, in the months following his election as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for East Midlands in June 2004. It was produced and presented by Emeka Onono, who had previously worked with Kilroy-Silk on his chat show Kilroy. The documentary was produced by the BBC, and was first broadcast at 9 p.m. on 31 January 2005 on BBC Three, 11(?) days after Kilroy-Silk had unexpectedly resigned from UKIP. It was then repeated at 8:05 p.m. on BBC Two five days later, on 5 February. ==Synopsis==
Kilroy: Behind the Tan follows Kilroy-Silk from his arrival at the European Parliament onwards. During an appearance on Breakfast with Frost, presenter David Frost asks Kilroy-Silk if he would be a candidate for leader of UKIP, should the post become available, to which Kilroy-Silk replied that he would like to be, and that it would be "a tribute and an honour". The documentary also includes footage of Kilroy-Silk and his wife in their estate in Buckinghamshire, which had previously been owned by rock star Ozzy Osbourne. ==Reception==
===Critical reception===
In the run-up to its broadcast on BBC Two, TV critic Charlie Brooker described Kilroy: Behind the Tan as being "well worth seeing" and some of its moments as "laugh-out-loud". The Times included the BBC Two broadcast among their choices for television to watch that day. In a summary of the 2005 United Kingdom general election, Louisa McLennan, also writing for The Times, branded Kilroy-Silk a "loser" for finishing fourth in the election for the constituency Erewash, and suggested that Kilroy: Behind the Tan may have contributed to this loss by portraying him in an unfavourable light. ===Ratings===
The BBC Two broadcast of Kilroy: Behind the Tan gained one :million viewers and an audience share of 4%. ==References==

At Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt's Mehendi, Actor Remembered Dad Rishi Kapoor Like This Ranbir holding a photo of dad Rishi Kapoor. (courtesy: aliabhatt) New Delhi: Bollywood fans have been glued to social media for a few days now, all thanks to Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor's dreamy wedding. Now, Alia has begun the weekend on a love-filled note by treating us all to special images from the couple's mehendi ceremony. While the pictures feature Alia, Ranbir and their loved ones in the best of spirits, the actress's caption revealed that there was indeed a whole lot of laughter, dancing and food to mark the special occasion. Among the several lovely pictures of the celebration is a moving one, in which Ranbir Kapoor is grooving with a framed photo of his late father, Rishi Kapoor in his hand. That the veteran actor was sorely missed at the event is evident from the posts shared by Rishi Kapoor's wife Neetu Kapoor and daughter Riddhima Kapoor Sahni. Now, the image of Ranbir Kapoor celebrating with his late father's photo in hand has won hearts on social media. Following a prolonged battle with cancer, Rishi Kapoor died in 2020. The other pics shared by Alia Bhatt feature the Kapoor clan including Ranbir, Neetu Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Riddhima Kapoor and Karisma Kapoor putting up a spirited dance performance. The images also feature Alia Bhatt with sister Shaheen Bhatt, friend Ayan Mukerji and Team bride. That's not all, in addition to Ranbir Kapoor getting Alia Bhatt's name etched in mehendi on his hand, the couple were also captured sharing some tender moments. Sharing the post, Alia Bhatt said, "The Mehendi was like something out of a dream. It was a day full of love, family, our beautiful best friends, a lot of French fries, a surprise performance by the ladkewalas, Ayan playing DJ, a BIG surprise organised by Mr Kapoor (my favourite artist performed my favourite songs), all followed by some happy tears and quiet, blissful moments with the love of my life." She concluded the note by saying, "There are days... and then there are days like these." Hours after their wedding on April 14, Alia Bhatt shared images from the ceremony on social media. On behalf of Ranbir Kapoor, who is not on social media, and herself, Alia penned a note sharing the happy news with fans. "With so much already behind us, we can't wait to build more memories together...Memories that are full of love, laughter, comfortable silences, movie nights, silly fights, wine delights and Chinese bites," an excerpt from her post reads. See the complete note here: With each photo of the wedding prettier than the other, it's all eyes on Alia Bhatt's social media handles for more glimpses of the happy occasion.

Lichenostigmatales is an order of fungi in the class Arthoniomycetes. It contains the single family Phaeococcomycetaceae. Lichenostigmatales was circumscribed in 2014 by Damien Ertz, Paul Diederich, and James D. Lawrey, with genus Lichenostigma assigned as the type. Using molecular phylogenetics, they identified a lineage of taxa in the Arthoniomycetes that were phylogenetically distinct from the order Arthoniales. Species in the Lichenostigmatales include black yeasts, lichenicolous, and melanised rock-inhabiting species. Recent estimates for the number of taxa in the family Phaeococcomycetaceae suggest that it contains 3 genera (Etayoa, Lichenostigma, and Phaeococcomyces) and either 31 or 37 species. The monotypic genus Antarctolichenia was added to Phaeococcomycetaceae in 2021. ==References==

Caleb Joshua Shomo (born December 1, 1992) is an American singer, musician, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter. He is most well known as the lead-vocalist of band Beartooth, though he records all studio instrumentals for the band. He is also the former lead vocalist, keyboardist, and early backing vocalist of electronicore band Attack Attack!, and the owner of Studio Records in Columbus, Ohio. Shomo joined Attack Attack! as keyboardist at 15 years old while maintaining a passion for electronic music and eventually grew into record production by 18. ==Music career==
===Attack Attack! (2008–2012)===
In 2008, Shomo became keyboardist for Attack Attack!, an American metalcore band from Columbus, Ohio, formed in 2007. He had begun as a synth player and programmer when he was 15 as a freshman in high school, of which his influences contributed to the band's electronic sounds, and started doing lead clean and unclean vocals on October 19, 2009 when former vocalist Nick Barham left the group. In 2008 they signed to Rise Records and released their debut album Someday Came Suddenly on November 11. It peaked on the Billboard 200 at number 193. In late 2009, they announced their self-titled album and released it on June 8, 2010. It peaked at number 26 on the Billboard 200, selling more than 15,000 copies in its first week. Shomo features clean vocals on tracks 1 to 5 and 17 and 18 of their deluxe release of self titled Attack Attack!. In November the next year, the band announced their third album titled This Means War. It was released on January 17, 2012. It has since become the band's best charting Billboard topping album, debuting and peaking at number 9 on the Billboard 200, selling more than 17,000 copies in its first week (although the self-titled album sold more records overall). Drummer Andrew Wetzel remarked it "fell off harder than the self-titled" on Formspring
Despite the band's growing success, Caleb Shomo left the band later that year due to clinical depression he had been dealing with since middle school. This had been causing him to have suicidal tendencies, and struggle with eating disorders, self-image problems and various substance abuse and addictions for the past year. Despite this, he left the band on good terms with the rest of the band supporting his decision. The band itself officially disbanded in May the same year. ===Beartooth (2012–present)===
Caleb Shomo began writing Beartooth songs while he was still in Attack Attack! as "a different musical outlet". Shomo has said the band originally "started as a joke band" with members of My Ticket Home, as a way to make fun, punk-rock, hardcore, wild music, play crazy shows and have a good time without pressure from anything. He wrote and recorded everything with all the instruments and did all of the production for their music. The band was originally called Noise, but was switched to Beartooth upon realization the name was already taken. On June 7, 2013, Shomo announced that Beartooth was now signed to Red Bull Records. Beartooth released their debut EP Sick for free on their website on July 26, 2013. On May 13, 2014 the band's Facebook page announced the release date for their debut album, Disgusting, as June 10, 2014, along with its track listing. The band released their first single of the album the same day, titled 'Beaten in Lips', along with its music video. The album was available to stream online a day before its release. On June 3, 2016, Beartooth released another album titled Aggressive, with the headlining track of the album posing the same name. In an interview with Kerrang! Magazine, Shomo stated that he felt that the album had a much happier outlook than the previous album, Disgusting. That being said, he still cites that there are parts of the album that refer to the constant battle that he faces with clinical depression, and mentions that is shown in the song "Find a Way". The songs "Aggressive", "Always Dead", "Loser", and "Hated", were all released prior to the album being released. On July 18, 2018, the songs "Infection", "Disease", and "Believe" leaked online forcing the band to reveal the name of their new album, Disease, the tracklisting and its artwork. On September 28, Beartooth released their third studio album "Disease". | 985 | null | null | 1,123,112,191 | "2022-11-21T22:29:52" | Caleb Shomo | 2,022 |
Hickenlooper scolds 2020 Dems: 'Medicare-for-all,' Green New Deal would 'FedEx' election to Trump Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper warned during Tuesday night's Democratic primary debate that "you might as well FedEx the election to Donald Trump" if the party adopts Bernie Sanders' "Medicare for All" plan, the so-called Green New Deal and other populist initiatives. Hickenlooper's admonition came as Montana Gov. Steve Bullock and former Maryland Rep. John Delaney also seemingly sought to pump the brakes on the sweeping proposals from Sanders and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. "The policies -- this notion that you're going to take private insurance away from 180 million Americans," Hickenlooper began. "The Green New Deal, making sure every American is guaranteed a government job if they want -- that is a disaster at the ballot box, you might as well FedEx the election to Donald Trump" In an explosive moment minutes later, Warren, seemingly frustrated by the pushback, unloaded after Delaney also sounded notes of caution. "I don't understand why anybody goes to all the trouble of running for president of the United States just to talk about what we really can't do and shouldn't fight for," Warren said, her voice raised.
In response, Delaney Campaign Manager John Davis shot back in a statement. "Senator Warren doesn't know anything about John Delaney," Davis said. "John's running on universal health care, creating a carbon tax and dividend that would make the United States the world's policy leader, a $2 trillion dollar infrastructure plan and big bold plans to rebuild rural America and our cities. "It's not about mushy compromise, it's about getting the policy details right and not running on just what's the best slogan," Davis added. Earlier this month, Hickenlooper took a shot at his fellow 2020 Democrats, suggesting that his fundraising numbers were lower than theirs because they promised "free stuff" to voters. "The bottom line is, for a small campaign like us from... you know -- Colorado's about 6 million or a little less than 6 million people -- it's harder to raise money because we don't, we're not promising free health care or, you know... free tuition for everyone, to forgive student debt," he told MSNBC.
In an interview with Fox News this month, Hickenlooper said most Americans wouldn't support major changes to the health care system. "I would argue that 'Medicare-for-all' would require 150-180 million Americans to give up their insurance and some people hate their private insurance, but there's well over half that every poll demonstrates they don't want to give up their private insurance," he said. "So, I don't see that happening, but I do believe in a public option."

35 Years On, Bhopal Gas Tragedy That Choked Thousands To Death In 1984 As the tragedy completes 35 years, tributes poured in on social media. (File) Bhopal: In one of world's worst industrial disasters, more than 20,000 people were choked to death in Bhopal on this day in 1984 after toxic gas leaked from the now-defunct Union Carbide factory. Thousands others developed severe health complications and continued to suffer from the ill effects later. A recent report by the UN labour agency International Labour Organization (ILO) said that in 1984, at least 30 tons of methyl isocyanate gas, which was released from the Union Carbide pesticide plant in the Madhya Pradesh capital, affected more than 600,000 workers and nearby inhabitants. The report titled "The Safety and Health at the Heart of the Future of Work - Building on 100 years of experience" said the Bhopal disaster was among the world's "major industrial accidents after 1919." Union Carbide CEO Warren Anderson, a US citizen, had escaped shortly after the tragedy and never appeared before a court for trial in the case. He died in the United States in 2013. Over the last three decades, many activists have fought for justice to over 20,000 victims and thousands of survivors of the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy. Activists have claimed that thousands of children and grandchildren of gas tragedy survivors have been born with congenital defects, cerebral palsy and even cancer. As the tragedy completes 35 years, tributes poured in on social media. "35 years for the #BhopalGasTragedy! Thousands of lives were lost..Lakhs were disabled..Its toxic effects are still born by the present generations..I pay my Homage to the victims..," Telangana MP Arvind Dharmapuri wrote on Twitter. "35 years back on this day, #Bhopal witnessed one of the capitalism killed more than 16000 people in #BhopalGasTragedy. How soon we forget things! How soon we forget who helped the main culprit fly. Warren Anderson has died in 2014. Many still suffering. #capitalismkills," read the tweet on CPIM's official account. Another user wrote on social media: "This was such a horrible tragedy. I STILL don't buy Eveready batteries because Union Carbide manufactured it. We had badges that said Ban Eveready... And, Anderson was allowed to get away. #NeverForget #NeverForgive #BhopalGasTragedy ~CHECK~OmShanti~CHECK~ for those souls affected."

Marjory Stoneman Douglas graduation: Biden tapes remarks for students "Three years ago, your lives and the lives of this community changed in an instant. And this class lost a piece of its soul. You've been tested in ways no young person should ever have to face," Biden said in remarks taped in the East Room. The President said: "From a freshman year, a year of unspeakable loss, to a junior and senior year upended by a pandemic. But the story of this class and the Parkland community isn't just a story of pain. It's a story of resilience. Turning pain into purpose. Darkness to light. This is a legacy you're building. The legacy you'll continue to build." "No graduation class gets to choose the world in which they graduate," Biden said. "But every once in a while, every few generations, young people come along at a point in history with a chance to make real change. The world has already seen just how capable you are. How strong you are. How resilient you are. There's no question you're already changing the world." On February 14, 2018, a 19-year-old gunman walked into that Parkland high school and opened fire, killing 17 students and faculty members. Many of the students have since become outspoken activists against gun violence, calling on lawmakers to bring about change and starting a global movement with March For Our Lives, a student-led movement focused on gun violence prevention. Since taking office, Biden has called gun violence in America a "national embarrassment," an "epidemic" and said it "pierces the very soul of our nation." The President has taken initial steps and executive actions to curb gun violence and has called on the Senate to pass legislation strengthening background checks that already passed the House and to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Following a spate of mass shootings across the nation, Biden unveiled several executive actions his administration would be taking on guns, including efforts to tighten restrictions on so-called ghost guns that can be built using parts and instructions purchased online. The actions were limited in scope and Biden said they are only initial steps to address gun violence. The recent mass shootings has led to increased calls for gun control measures, but gun legislation passing the Senate -- where Democrats have a narrow majority -- remains an uphill battle.
