CANADA STOCKS-Buoyant financials power TSX higher
* Financials lead TSX higher on U.S. bank action hopes
* Seven banks and insurers are top advancers
* Materials group lower on falling gold price
* France's Total launches C$617 mln bid for UTS Energy (Updates to midmorning, adds details)
By Ka Yan Ng
TORONTO, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index rose 1.6 percent on Wednesday morning, led higher by the heavily weighted financial sector on hopes that Canada's C$40 billion ($33 billion) stimulus package and further U.S. government action would promote economic stability.
There was optimism that the new U.S. administration was moving quickly to stabilize the ailing banking sector, helping to boost U.S. stocks, and as lawmakers prepared to vote on a stimulus package to help the recession-hit economy.
This sentiment spilled over to Toronto's financials group, which rose 5.5 percent.
"We'll see if that's enough to sustain this rally," said Ian Nakamoto, director of research at MacDougall, MacDougall & MacTier. Continued...

Laminar Natural Convection
Hi Guys
I want to solve a Laminar Natural Convection problem with OPENFOAM, but as you may know the wellknown heat transfer solvers of OPENFOAM, like "buoyantBoussinesqPimpleFoam" and "buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam" are for turbulent flows.
So, my question is that whether I have to modify "icoFoam" to include energy equation or there are other ways of solving Laminar Natural Convection in OpenFoam.
You comments will be greatly appreciated.
You can run laminar with the "turbulent" solvers. Just select "laminar" as the turbulence model in the RASproperties dictionary.
hiiiii every one
I m also new user of openfoam so i solved cavity tutorial also bt its for isothermal but right now i want to solve non-isothermal problem of cavity laminar flow it means natural convection flow so what r the changes require in icoFoam solver plz tel me. because in heat transfer solver there are more properties given like omega, k ,epsilon ,nutilda etc so i m so confuse to solve that so plz help me.
i m waiting for reply
As Eugene says, you can use any solver for turbulent flow for laminar flow as well: use the laminar dummy turbulent model.
Select the solver you want to use here: http://openfoam.com/features/standard-solvers.php
omega, k, epsilon and nutilda are typical variables obtained from turbulence modelling. If you have laminar flow, you don't need those.
Hello sir
thanks for ur kind reply
but sir in Heat transfer there r all turbulent and compressible solver so i m confusing which solver i choose?
because i solved lid-driven cavity problem with no moving velocity only temperature influence so actualy i add temp in icoFoam with the help of wikiopenfoam but i cant able to do when i give the value of velocity 0. so
plz tel me what r the modification require to solve my incompressible, laminar & nonisothermal cavity flow?
you just add temperature to icoFoam but you forget to consider the effect of buoyancy! so
if you want to consider the effect of compressibility, and its not to much, Boussinesq approximation is good! so you should use "buoyantBoussinesqPisoFoam"
and this solvers can be chosen to solve laminar case too! read above more care fully! as previously said its dummy!
for example in hot room tutorial you just need to edit RASProperties file and put instead of kEpsilon laminar!
Did you read my post at all?
You don't need any modifications, since
1. All solver for turbulent flow can be run for laminar flow
2. From the link you can find a solver for incompressible flow and heat transfer as well
ok sir i will go for buoyantBoussinesqpimpleFoam solver i only change the Ras properties as u said earlier
hello every one
i started to solve nonisothermal cavity problem but i dont know how to give the insulated boundary condition. so plz tel me in 2D cavity left & right r my hot & cold wall but top & bottom are insulated so which condition i will put? i think its is zero gradient m i right?
you are right, zeroGradient is suitable
yes sir i solved my problem but sir i have problem to plot streamFunction i solved problem for laminar nonisothermal cavity flow with buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam.
when i run streamfunction then it gave me error like in the file streamFunction.c at line 456 flux field does not exist stream function not calculated so
plz tel me how can i plot streamFunction?
tel me how to plot streamFunction using buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam.
i found error like,

Wilcannia Anglican church resurrected
Just one Wilcannia resident turned up to worship at the first Anglican service in the township in more than four years.
St James Anglican Church, one of the oldest churches in the far west, is in a state of disrepair, so the inaugural Holy Saturday service was held in the Wilcannia hospital meeting room.
The Archdeacon of the Darling, the Venerable Brian Ford, is praying it is the first small step towards a new era for the town.
"At some stage it would be fantastic to be able to go back into worshiping in St James, Wilcannia itself, but a lot of work needs to happen with that building to clean it up and get some repairs done before we can do that," he said.
Archdeacon Ford believes it is a welcome start.
"We knew that numbers would be low, however it was appropriate with Easter being the church's symbol of new life and resurrection that we would look at resurrecting the service at Wilcannia," he said.

Pulled between the poles of escape and engagement - pure enjoyment of surrendering to inebriated derangement versus the need to get a message through, Psychedelic Horseshit are a gloriously messy, provocative proposition. Rooted in lo-fi punk experimentation and making a dense, playful racket that veers between being challenging and genuinely catchy, they've kept a step ahead of the lo-fi scene th...
Hailing from Colombus, Ohio (the Rust Belt capital MTV described as "ground zero for lo-fi punk"), Psychedelic Horseshit formed on a whim in the fall of 2005 following their random meeting in the columbus "all night rave scene" from summer of that year. Bonding over their fondness for drugs, girls, and generally causing a crazy, sleazy, ruckus. They began using a bunch of battered equipment (recording to four-track cassette, with a cardboard box for a bass drum and junkshop guitars and keyboards), playing Matt's "shitty folk songs" as a 3-piece (with drummer Rich Johnston and bassist Jason Roxas). Receiving some early attention via then-strangers Times New Viking, they began playing shows around Columbus with them and others, soon becoming a local favourite and unknowingly fitting into the highly revered Columbus legacy of damaged pop and rock music in the tradition of V-3, Mike Rep and The Quotas, Ron House, Bassholes, etc. The band's initial releases comprised a handful of homemade small-run CD-Rs ('The Anticoncept', 'Dancey Pants', 'Summertime Suicide', 'Blown Speaker Standards' and 'King Tubby's Baddness Dub'), until local label Columbus Discount issued a 7", 'Who Let the Dogs Out' in August 2006. The single's first pressing rapidly sold out, and in mid-2007 a five-song 7", 'New Wave Hippies', was quickly followed by a split 7" with Times New Viking and the band's debut album, 'Magic Flowers Droned', released on the consistently great US indie, Siltbreeze.
With over a dozen different bassists coming and going, they toured the States twice, made a couple of SXSW festival appearances and then all of a sudden, via a joke reference on their myspace page, 'shitgaze' (the lo-fi genre-term they coined in satire of the early-'90s British shoegaze phenomenon) blew up and found them getting interviewed by MTV as well as being written up everywhere from Spin to NME. With a deluge of lo-fi bands jumping on the shitgaze bandwagon, PH disappeared for a minute to regroup, releasing only a handful of extremely limited edition EPs and tapes which virtually no-one heard, and getting more attention from Matt's highly publicized verbal skewerings of everything from Wavves to Vivian Girls, Yeasayer to Deerhunter and Rolling Stone, culminating in the hilarious, infamous Washington Post rant from Matt during 2009's SXSW festival. That year also saw a slew of releases. A 10-track double 7", 'Too Many Hits', a 12" EP, 'Shitgaze Anthems' (on hipster label, Woodsist), plus a couple of tapes ('Live At Pompeii' and 'Magic Flowers Dubbed') followed by the reissue of their early CD-Rs and other limited-run material on a single record called 'Golden Oldies' .
Described by Vice as "the most heart-poundingly great racket since that My Bloody Valentine covers record Comets On Fire never made"; by The Times as "the sound of an angry Mark E Smith stripping wallpaper with a distortion pedal"; and by themselves as "trashcans fucking on cheap speed", their aesthetic over these first four or five years comprises a chaotic - yet forcefully coherent - cocktail of protest folk (early Dylan and Ochs), barbed garage punk, scrawny white dub, smeared psychedelia, free noise, tin-can electronics, shoegaze, and - most recently - a more sonically expansive move towards the softer-hued, melted vistas of the likes of Black Dice or Animal Collective ("a sorta next gen trash space dub pop experiment"). Wastedly / willfully navigating their way through a densely-layered, scrappy collage of trashed tones, in-the-red mixes, tracks pieced together from multiple takes, different songs mashed together simultaneously through separate channels, and generally resembling the addled states of a full-blown drink and drug binge, they've been variously compared to The Fall, The Dead C, early Pavement singles, Royal Trux, Guided By Voices, Sebadoh, Swell Maps, The Velvets, and Harry Pussy, and located alongside the messy amp-blown brilliance of contemporary peers like The Hospitals, Tyvek, Eat Skull, and Sic Alps.
Despite so much unhinged shambling around, Mr. Horseshit has sufficiently sharpened his wit to consistently nail his targets, humorously spewing out against contemporary ills, whilst displaying a host of pop references on a snotty sleeve. Hatching pointed social commentary through snarky wordplay and witty titles ('We're Pink Floyd, Bitch', 'Bob Dylan's 42nd Annual Report', inversions like 'Bad Vibrations', 'The Times Are Not A-Changin'), his rambling, disaffected nasal monotone (recalling Dylan's social sniping and vocal grain; and the misanthropic rage of Dave "E" McManus from Cleveland's proto-punk outfit The electric eels) seethes with the corrosive invectives of punk: apathy, hopelessness, impotence, boredom, homogenisation, paranoia, drugs and the decay of the real into the virtual.
In 2010, a limited edition cassette, 'Acid Tape' signalled a move towards something more dazed and liquified, increasingly electronic, and with improved production. From the start, the band's goal was never to be a lo-fi band, but to be "a sonically adventurous pop band that sounded good on drugs, a la Radiohead or MBV". Now finally climbing out of the lo-fi gutter and progressing in leaps and bounds with each release both in sound and maturity, these kids are never happy with where they are and always looking forward to an explosive future.
Signing to FatCat in late 2010, Psychedelic Horseshit's debut album for the label, 'Laced', was released in May 2011

Pacquiao's hand speed will earn win, says Roach
By Mark Lamport-Stokes
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Superior hand speed will give Manny Pacquiao a decisive edge over American Floyd Mayweather in their heavily anticipated megafight in Las Vegas next week, says the Filipino southpaw's trainer Freddie Roach.
Mayweather will go into the May 2 welterweight showdown as the favorite in his bid to improve on a perfect 47-0 record as a professional, but Roach is confident that underdog Pacquiao will emerge triumphant on points after the 12 scheduled rounds.
"I know he (Mayweather) is a good fighter but I just think I have the better fighter," Roach told Reuters before overseeing a shadow boxing session by Pacquiao at his Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, California.
"Hand speed is going to be a big, big difference in this fight and Manny is much quicker than he is."
Roach, who has guided Pacquiao to world championships in eight weight divisions and a 57-5-2 career record with 38 knockouts, said that he had no concerns about the threat posed by 11-time world champion Mayweather.
"I don't think he can really hurt Manny so I am not worried about that so much," smiled the shrewd Roach, a former featherweight and lightweight boxer who ended his own career in the ring at the age of 26 with a decent 41-13 record.
"Mayweather has a good right hand but I don't think he can knock Manny out with that right hand. I don't think he can move like he used to because his legs aren't what they were, and that's the first thing to go in a fighter."
Roach, who has often been remarkably accurate with his pre-fight predictions, expects the May 2 bout to last the full 12 rounds. Continued...

Emile Hokayem writes: Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, three of the Middle East's major Sunni powers, once equated their standings in the region with the outcome of the war in Syria. Since the uprising broke out in 2011, they have been stalwart — if often divided — supporters of the rebels in their fight against the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
In the last several months, it became clear they were on the losing side. Recent events, including the fall of eastern Aleppo this month, are compelling these countries to adjust their strategies. A cease-fire agreement brokered by Russia and Turkey and announced on Thursday has only made it clearer that in the Middle East, force drives diplomacy.
The mainstream rebel groups that Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have backed since 2011 are now morphing into a rural insurgency. This will mean they are less of a threat to the Assad government, but more vulnerable to being defeated by jihadist groups — or lured into joining them. Supporting these rebels will soon become even more difficult, especially if President-elect Donald J. Trump follows through on campaign pledges to end American aid to rebel groups and to work more closely with Russia to fight jihadists in Syria. [Continue reading…]
How Syria defeated the Sunni powers
Taliban seeks recognition for Qatar office, direct talks with U.S.
VOA reports: Afghanistan's Taliban has demanded official recognition for its political office in Qatar, direct talks with the United States and removal of senior members from a U.N. blacklist, describing these as preliminary steps to peacefully ending its insurgency.
A Qatar-based Taliban spokesman, Sohail Shaheen, has asserted the presence of U.S.-led foreign troops in Afghanistan is the "root cause" of war and its continuation.
The "foreign occupation forces" are undermining the country's sovereignty and freedom of its politics as well as the government, he added.
"That is why there is need for America and its allies to come to the table for direct talks with the Islamic Emirate (the Taliban) for negotiating an end to the occupation," Shaheen said.
If peace is the objective of the other side, he asserted, then the Taliban must be allowed to open its "Political Office" in Qatar and names of its senior members be removed from the U.N. black list. [Continue reading…]
Jihadist legacy still shapes Ahrar al-Sham
Hassan Hassan writes: Over the past five years in Syria, Ahrar al-Sham has emerged as an important political and religious experiment. As one of the most powerful groups in Syria, Ahrar al-Sham has struggled to reconcile the legacy of many of its founders as jihadi veterans with the need for an acceptable political discourse in the war-ravaged country. As the group engages cautiously in the political process for a transition, it is also important to understand whether it has really broken away from Salafi-jihadism.
The ideology of the group is further muddled by the fact that it works closely with al-Qaeda affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra, though Ahrar al-Sham participates in political conferences and pacts that appear to deviate from the canons of jihadist organizations. After the death of its top leaders in an explosion that took place during a high-level meeting in September 2014, Ahrar al-Sham has also sought to present itself to the outside world as a moderate group and an indispensable fighting force on the ground.
Countries involved in the conflict in Syria are split about the organization. Some, primarily Russia and Iran, are pushing for its designation as a terrorist organization. Others, such as Qatar and Turkey, tried to present the organization as a moderate group and include it in the international funding scheme for nationalist rebel forces. The latter effort entailed the involvement of sponsors and clerics close to the group to steer it in that direction, combined with a public relations offensive to present the group as such.
But is Ahrar al-Sham merely a conservative Syrian faction immersed in an armed struggle against the regime of Bashar al-Assad? Or is it still a bastion of Salafi-jihadism, the movement to which its top echelon once subscribed? Ali al-Omar, the group's deputy leader, answered some of these questions during an hour-long talk he gave on Friday, "The Place of Ahrar al-Sham Among Islamist Currents." [Continue reading…]
Gulf states guarding their interests in Saudi-Iran rift
The New York Times reports: For all the diplomatic dominoes that have fallen across the Middle East in recent days, with ambassadors from different countries flying home as a result of the explosive rift between Saudi Arabia and Iran, the map of allegiances has not significantly altered.
Certainly, several countries offered muscular shows of solidarity to Saudi Arabia after an Iranian mob attacked its embassy in Tehran over the weekend, prompting a crisis that has put the United States in a bind and has threatened to set back the prospects for a resolution to the conflict in Syria.
By Tuesday, Kuwait had recalled its ambassador to Iran, the United Arab Emirates had downgraded its diplomatic relationship, and Bahrain and Sudan had joined Saudi Arabia in severing its relationship with Tehran entirely.
Yet many other Sunni Muslim countries signaled that they intended to take a more measured approach to the argument — sympathizing with Saudi Arabia, a rich and powerful ally, but also determined to avoid getting sucked into a harmful conflict with Iran, a country governed by Shiite clerics, with potentially grave costs.
"The smaller Gulf states are worried they will get caught in the middle," said Michael Stephens, a research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London. "It worries them greatly that things could go badly."
Some countries, like Turkey, Egypt and Pakistan, are already battling their own domestic insurgencies. Others are keen to guard their strategic interests or to keep the door open to trade with Iran while there is a prospect of American sanctions being lifted.
Qatar, which shares with Iran access to the world's largest natural gas field in the Persian Gulf, has yet to declare its hand. Oman has also been quiet, sticking to its longstanding position of neutrality on Saudi Arabia and Iran.
In Turkey, where senior officials have warned about the impact of the crisis on a "powder keg" region, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu offered his country's services to help resolve the conflict peacefully. [Continue reading…]
Qatari royals rush to Switzerland in nine planes after emir breaks leg
AFP reports: Unidentified individuals travelling in as many as nine planes belonging to Qatar's royal family made an emergency trip to Switzerland over the weekend for medical reasons, according to a Swiss official.
A spokesman for Switzerland's federal office of civil aviation confirmed local media reports that multiple aircraft made unscheduled landings at the Zurich-Kloten airport overnight from 25 to 26 December and that the planes were part of the Qatari royal fleet.
He gave no details as to who was on board or who any of the potential patients may have been.
"The emergency landing clearance was given by the Swiss air force," he told AFP, explaining that the civil aviation office was closed during the hours in question.
Qatari authorities later said that the country's former ruler, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, had been flown to Switzerland over the weekend for surgery after breaking a leg. [Continue reading…]
Turkey will set up a military base in Qatar to face 'common enemies'
Reuters reports: Turkey will establish a military base in Qatar as part of a defence agreement aimed at helping them confront "common enemies," Turkey's ambassador to Qatar said on Wednesday.
Establishment of the base, part of an agreement signed in 2014 and ratified by Turkey's parliament in June, intensifies the partnership with Qatar at a time of rising instability and a perceived waning of U.S. interest in the region.
The two countries, both economic heavyweights, have provided support for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, backed rebels fighting to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and raised the alarm about creeping Iranian influence in the region. [Continue reading…]
U.S.-led air war on ISIS in Syria has little allied support
The New York Times reports: As the United States prepares to intensify airstrikes against the Islamic State in Syria, the Arab allies who with great fanfare sent warplanes on the initial missions there a year ago have largely vanished from the campaign.
The Obama administration heralded the Arab air forces flying side by side with American fighter jets in the campaign's early days as an important show of solidarity against the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or Daesh. Top commanders like Gen. Lloyd J. Austin III, who oversees operations in Syria and Iraq, still laud the Arab countries' contributions to the fight. But as the United States enters a critical phase of the war in Syria, ordering Special Operations troops to support rebel forces and sending two dozen attack planes to Turkey, the air campaign has evolved into a largely American effort.
Administration officials had sought to avoid the appearance of another American-dominated war, even as most leaders in the Persian Gulf seem more preoccupied with supporting rebels fighting the government of President Bashar al-Assad of Syria. Now, some of those officials note with resignation, the Arab partners have quietly left the United States to run the bulk of the air war in Syria — not the first time Washington has found allies wanting.
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have shifted most of their aircraft to their fight against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. Jordan, reacting to the grisly execution of one of its pilots by the Islamic State, and in a show of solidarity with the Saudis, has also diverted combat flights to Yemen. Jets from Bahrain last struck targets in Syria in February, coalition officials said. Qatar is flying patrols over Syria, but its role has been modest. [Continue reading…]
Extreme heatwaves could push Gulf climate beyond human endurance, study shows
The Guardian reports: The Gulf in the Middle East, the heartland of the global oil industry, will suffer heatwaves beyond the limit of human survival if climate change is unchecked, according to a new scientific study.
The extreme heatwaves will affect Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Doha and coastal cities in Iran as well as posing a deadly threat to millions of Hajj pilgrims in Saudi Arabia, when the religious festival falls in the summer. The study shows the extreme heatwaves, more intense than anything ever experienced on Earth, would kick in after 2070 and that the hottest days of today would by then be a near-daily occurrence.
"Our results expose a specific regional hotspot where climate change, in the absence of significant [carbon cuts], is likely to severely impact human habitability in the future," said Prof Jeremy Pal and Prof Elfatih Eltahir, both at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, writing in the journal Nature Climate Change.
They said the future climate for many locations in the Gulf would be like today's extreme climate in the desert of Northern Afar, on the African side of the Red Sea, where there are no permanent human settlements at all. But the research also showed that cutting greenhouse gas emissions now could avoid this fate. [Continue reading…]
Following Russia's intervention in Syria, will Saudi Arabia supply rebels with the kinds of weapons they've long been denied?
The Guardian reports: Saudi Arabia and Qatar are already embroiled in an expensive and bloody war in Yemen that may limit both their military and financial resources. They have also so far deferred to western bans on transferring hi-tech weapons – including missiles that could take down aircraft – over fears that they might change hands in the chaos of the war and be used against their makers.
"The uncertain question today is the degree of power combined with efficiency that regional powers will be willing to bring to the table," said [Julien] Barnes-Dacey [senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations]. "Do the Saudis now try to take matters decisively into their hands, including by providing rebels with sophisticated weaponry long denied them?
"The new [Saudi] king [Salman] has shown a willingness to be much more assertive and take measures into the kingdom's own hands. If the Saudis see the situation slipping out of their hands, and there is a real sense that the Iranians are consolidating their position in Syria, you could see much stronger response."
That is unlikely to go as far as troops on the ground, however, and not only because so many assets are already tied up in Yemen.
"A Saudi military role would be too much of an escalation," said analyst Hassan Hassan, author of Isis: Inside the Army of Terror. "It's seen as far from Syria, not seen as a direct security threat. With Yemen, people have accepted [Saudi] hegemony for years, unlike Syria, where Iran is seen as dominant.
"The best way to respond to the Russian intervention is to engage the rebels more and step up support so they can face down the escalation and create a balance on the ground," he said. "The Russians will [then] realise there are limits to what they can achieve in Syria, and modify their approach." But the wider regional struggle for influence between Saudi Arabia and Iran makes it almost impossible for Riyadh to walk away, whatever the cost. [Continue reading…]
Why are the Gulf states so reluctant to take in refugees?
By Rana Jawad, University of Bath
Europe's reaction to the refugee crisis has hardly been a calm and considered one; with fences erected and border controls reinstated, the continent's governments are struggling to agree on a response.
But at least Europe's governments are acting. In the Middle East, things are rather different. In particular, the Arab Gulf States are catching serious flack for their response to the crisis – or rather, their failure to respond.
One big question is reverberating in the minds of the general public, expert observers and policy-makers; why have the Gulf states, who are among the richest countries in the world, not taken in any Syrian refugees? There's no need to rewrite the commentary that's already out there: many articles have provided useful statistics and background information on the international conventions and treaties the Persian Gulf countries are signed up to, and their failure to honour them.
What all this misses, though, is the general lack of social justice and a social welfare ethos in the Persian Gulf and Middle East in general. This is a complex story about the mindset of a region in disunity and disarray.
Saudi-led offensive in Yemen faces dangerous new phase
Iona Craig writes: When young garage mechanic Aidaroos Saleh heard the familiar ping of his smartphone, he could never have imagined the journey on which the incoming message would take him. In a matter of weeks, Saleh, 22, went from fixing cars in his adopted country of Saudi Arabia to the battle front of his southern Yemen homeland.
The message was an official communication, a call to arms for Yemenis in Saudi Arabia to join a fighting force that would "defend Aden" — the southern Yemeni city that descended into civil war in mid-March. Four months after he responded to the message in April, the young fighter sat cradling an AK-47 assault rifle between his knees in the scorching heat of Aden.
"They promised us salaries and medical care abroad if we got injured in Yemen," he said, wearing glasses, sandals and a mawaz, which is like a sarong. He and his cohort received neither.
Those who joined up were sent to the Saudi border town of Sharurah — in the Empty Quarter, the world's largest sand desert — where they should have received military training to prepare them for deployment in Aden.
This desert camp of some 6,000 Yemeni volunteers was the origin of the kingdom's Operation Golden Arrow, a ground offensive launched in Yemen in July that now looks set to move in on the capital, Sanaa. This latest phase of operations in Yemen follows consecutive aerial campaigns carried out since March as part of the Saudi-led coalition of nations bid to restore Yemen's President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi after he fled to Riyadh earlier this year.
But in order to bring Hadi back, the coalition has first set itself the task of removing the Houthis and military units loyal to his predecessor Ali Abdullah Saleh, who seized control of the capital almost a year ago. [Continue reading…]
Qatar deploys 1,000 ground troops to fight in Yemen
Al Jazeera reports: Around 1,000 soldiers from Qatar's Armed Forces have been deployed to Yemen, as part of the Arab coalition's fight against Houthi rebels, Al Jazeera has learned.
An Al Jazeera journalist, reporting from the Saudi-Yemen border, said the troops were backed by more than 200 armoured vehicles and 30 Apache combat helicopters.
The troops are now reportedly heading to Yemen's Maareb province, to join the Saudi-led coalition already fighting in the area.
Al Jazeera has also learned that more Qatari forces are expected, with the aim of securing the Jawf governorate. [Continue reading…]
The Arab world's wealthiest nations are doing next to nothing for Syria's refugees

— Luay لؤي الخطيب (@AL_Khatteeb) September 4, 2015
Ishaan Tharoor writes: To varying degrees, elements within Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the U.A.E. and Kuwait have invested in the Syrian conflict, playing a conspicuous role in funding and arming a constellation of rebel and Islamist factions fighting the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
None of these countries are signatories of the United Nations' 1951 Refugee Convention, which defines what a refugee is and lays out their rights, as well as the obligations of states to safeguard them. For a Syrian to enter these countries, they would have to apply for a visa, which, in the current circumstances, is rarely granted. According to the BBC, the only Arab countries where a Syrian can travel without a visa are Algeria, Mauritania, Sudan and Yemen — hardly choice or practical destinations.
Like European countries, Saudi Arabia and its neighbors also have fears over new arrivals taking jobs from citizens, and may also invoke concerns about security and terrorism. But the current gulf aid outlay for Syrian refugees, which amounts to collective donations under $1 billion (the United States has given four times that sum), seems short — and is made all the more galling when you consider the vast sums Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. poured into this year's war effort in Yemen, an intervention some consider a strategic blunder.
As Bobby Ghosh, managing editor of the news site Quartz, points out, the gulf states in theory have a far greater ability to deal with large numbers of arrivals than Syria's more immediate and poorer neighbors, Lebanon and Jordan:
The region has the capacity to quickly build housing for the refugees. The giant construction companies that have built the gleaming towers of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh should be contracted to create shelters for the influx. Saudi Arabia has plenty of expertise at managing large numbers of arrivals: It receives an annual surge of millions of Hajj pilgrims to Mecca. There's no reason all this knowhow can't be put to humanitarian use.
No reason other than either indifference or a total lack of political will. [Continue reading…]
Hamas caught between Tehran and Riyadh
Ali Hashem writes: A senior Hamas official who spoke to Al-Monitor in Beirut on condition of anonymity said, "We've never taken sides, but we have our say on what's happening. Iran is a friend. It was once a very close friend, and we don't forget that. But today there are efforts to normalize ties once again. This is facing some hurdles from both sides."
The official, who visits Iran often, told Al-Monitor, "There were plans for Khaled Meshaal to visit Tehran, [but] on several occasions the visits were canceled because of the uncertainty on our side that it would go as planned."
Meshaal, head of Hamas' political bureau, is concerned he won't be allowed to meet the supreme leader of Iran, Al-Monitor learned, as a trip to Tehran would be useless without a meeting with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. [Continue reading…]
To U.S. allies, Al Qaeda affiliate in Syria becomes the lesser evil
The Wall Street Journal reports: In the three-way war ravaging Syria, should the local al Qaeda branch be seen as the lesser evil to be wooed rather than bombed?
This is increasingly the view of some of America's regional allies and even some Western officials. In a war now in its fifth year, in which 230,000 people have been killed and another 7.6 million uprooted, few good options remain for how to tackle the crisis.
The three main forces left on the ground today are the Assad regime, Islamic State and an Islamist rebel alliance in which the Nusra Front — an al Qaeda affiliate designated a terrorist group by the U.S. and the United Nations — plays a major role.
Outnumbered and outgunned, the more secular, Western-backed rebels have found themselves fighting shoulder to shoulder with Nusra in key battlefields. As the Assad regime wobbles and Islamic State, or ISIS, gains ground in both Syria and Iraq, reaching out to the more pragmatic Nusra is the only rational choice left for the international community, supporters of this approach argue.

The human toll of FIFA's corruption

Sochi (Russia) Olympics: 60

— David Patrikarakos (@dpatrikarakos) May 27, 2015
The Washington Post reports: In the end, it only took a $150 million scandal to make Americans care about soccer.
FIFA, the notoriously corrupt and yet seemingly invincible governing body of world soccer, has finally landed itself an indictment that some would say is worthy of its reputation. The charges against a handful of senior FIFA officials include money laundering, racketeering, bribery and fraud. In short, the federal lawsuit alleges what millions of soccer fans have suspected all along: that FIFA officials have been using the organization's massive influence to line their pocketbooks.
On the surface, it's just another white collar crime story: rich, powerful men making themselves richer and more powerful. But a closer look suggests that there is a lot of real-world suffering happening as a direct result of FIFA's decisions. [Continue reading…]

Notificon (GitHub: makeable /

Matt Williams dynamically changes a site's favicon to include a

var link = document.createElement('link');
link.type = 'image/x-icon';
link.rel = 'icon notificon';
link.href = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
It's a cool hack, and it made me wonder about Internet Explorer support.
IE8 apparently supports

The author has provided some iOS-style CSS as well.
jQuery.suggest (GitHub: polarblau / suggest, License: GPL and MIT) also by Polarblau is an autocomplete plugin that works a little bit like native elements, with greyed out text.

many of them are written this cleanly and come with tests?
Finally, smartTruncation
(GitHub: polarblau / smarttruncation, License:

World" becomes "Hel...rld".
Text truncation in client-side code is a source of fascination for me
because I've attempted it a few times without a huge amount of success.
Polarblau's algorithm creates a cache of font size values and then adds
characters to an element until it has filled the desired size. It also
takes file name extensions into account.
It's pretty easy to use:
$('.files li').smartTruncation({
'protectExtensions' : true // "myimagefile.jpg" -> "myimagef...jpg"
It's worth noting that each of these plugins by Polarblau is clearly
licensed, includes tests, and has its own project web site (hosted by

Candle Light
In a world controled by darkness the people live without hope and without happiness. Generations have grown up in the darkness, being taught to fear it. But all it takes is one single person, big or small, stong or weak to stand up and say no before the whole world follows.
Candle light
"Nanny, Nanny, tell me a story." Lexi chirped as she flung herself at her Nan's feet.
"Calm down Lexi." Her Nan replied as she chuckled to herself. Lexi sat with two round wide eyes staring up at her Nan.
"Ok my dear, a story." Her Nan paused for as seconds as she thought.
Lexi shuffled forwards a little before settling.
"I have the perfect one…" Her Nan said as a smile began to spread across her face.
"Once upon a time there was a land where there was only darkness. There were children that lived there that couldn't even remember seeing the sun.
The darkness swirled and devoured every single piece of light that it could find. And it always found every single bit of light. Every single form of light and hope was extinguished in a matter of seconds, ripped from the people's small innocent hands and throw into the ever growing darkness.
The people were left alone, scared and helpless with no hope, haunted day in and day out by their fears.
The darkness changed people. It took away happiness and love. It left people defenceless against the horrors of the world.
Many had stepped up and tried to defeat the darkness themselves. Knights, kings, soldiers and villages alike had tried and failed, one by one, until there was no one left brave enough or stupid enough to stand up to it anymore.
So the villagers had a choice to make: live knowing that you would live in fear for the rest of your life, or die, knowing that you would be free, but ultimately, dead.
The only way that you can live in this world is if you know that one day, in the future things just might change, change for the better, and everything will be ok. Without that hope what makes life worth living?
Even if you have convinced yourself and everyone else around you that it is never going to happen that there is no hope left, even then there is that little light inside of you that never really quite turns off, it never gives up.
Without hope there is nothing that you can hold on to when times get hard. There is no reason to believe in tomorrow, so why waste today doing something that won't make a difference tomorrow, because the sky will still be black, the stars will still be hiding, and everywhere you look there will still be the putrid sight of fear.
The darkness had been building for days now. There was no way to out run it and nowhere safe to hide from it. It was hopeless. Once alive and full of life and excitement now just lay cold and alone.
The sun no longer rose to show the coming of a new day, the moon no longer shone above the small stone houses giving light in the darkness. Everything was silent, no birds sang, there was no laughter, no singing that brought the forest and trees to life. There was just the never ending silence of all those who had given up and given in.
No one talked for fear that the darkness would hear them. They feared the darkness above anything else. They lived their lives in fear and silence, never smiling, never laughing, and never dreaming.
It wasn't long until people began to give up for good. They let the darkness take over them, they let the fear control their lives. The adults used to try and fight it, they used to hold onto their hope, try and let the kids know there was something left in this retched world left to hope for, but finally the darkness broke them too.
The children lay awake at night trying to remember what the sun looked like and what laughter sounded like. But as each endless day passed it became harder and harder to remember. Slowly even they forgot how to laugh and smile, and then their imagination and everything special that a child is began to disappear, just as the adult's had.
That day the children went to school as usual, the adult's carried out their chores and the darkness watched every single one of them. The playground was overgrown and silent; no children played on the swings, or ran around. All the flowers had died and the cold air was harsh.
Yet somewhere in the darkness there was one light. One single tiny, insignificant light that the darkness hadn't broken.
A small frail, once ill little girl stood alone and watched everyone, watched their pale emotionless faces as they just stood there, like a statue, constantly worrying if the darkness was watching them.
The thing that made this little girl stand out was the fact that she remembered, when everyone else in the world had forgotten she remembered. Remembered what it was like to live, to not have to pull away from people, to hide your face. She remembered what living was like, and she missed it.
She sat in the classroom with all the other children staring at the board. Watching the teacher write some words using chalk on a black board, when something caught her eye. Something that she hadn't seen for such a long time. She knew in the back of her mind what it was, but she had almost forgotten completely what they looked like.
It was a flower. In all this darkness a single flower had managed to stay alive, it managed to grow. It was weak and colourless, but it was alive, it managed to survive without sunlight, without any help, it managed to defeat its darkness. The greatest power in the world had completely wiped out the sun and any happiness, and yet amongst it all a flower still managed to grow.
Something sparked inside of her. Something that she thought she would never feel again. Her whole body started to feel warm, her cheeks turned red and her eyes lit up.
She felt like she wanted to dance and sing, and laugh, and play and have just be a child again. And then just like that she remembered the most wonderful thing in the world, she remembered how to laugh. She couldn't believe that she had forgotten it in the first place.
She jumped to her feet and started to laugh. The whole class turned to face her. The teacher begged her to stop; for fear that the darkness would hear her and punish her. But she wouldn't stop. She laughed harder and louder than she had ever done before.
The children stared at her in horror. She looked at them, every single last one of them and just said remember. Remember how to laugh, how to smile, how to have fun, remember how to live again.
The children looked to one another, confused, not knowing what to do, how to react. It was not long before they too stood up and started to laugh. The room began to grow brighter, the children's faces were alive and full of colour and they had smiles on their faces.
The classroom began to light up, soon the laughter spread throughout the school. The light began to spread across fields and houses and rose up into the sky. Slowly the sun began to break through the darkness. The children stared speechless as their little innocent eyes took in what their village had become because of the darkness.
Suddenly the light was wiped form the sky, like someone blowing out a candle flame. She could feel it coming, and so could they, everyone could feel the darkness coming; feel its power, its anger. Children began to flee from her side, but still, still she remained. Her laughter silenced now, but still she stood. She didn't turn and run, she stayed perfectly still.
She knew she needed something stronger. The darkness was made out of hate and fear, it fed of it. But if there was no hate and fear in the world then the darkness would die.
Images of herself began to flash into her mind. Images of her alone, of her scared and upset. She was so small, how could she do anything? She was just too small. A voice kept repeating over and over again in her mind. But she took the stand. Out of everyone in her villages and the villages for miles around, she, the smallest most scared little girl was the one to stand up first. She was the one to make the first step.
Slowly she opened her mouth. A sound so full of life, and excitement, and hope filled the air. She sang so loud and so sweetly it spread across meadows and through the forest, down the hills, along the streams and into everyone's ears.
No one had ever heard anything like it. As she began to sing people started to emerge out of the shadows and into the light. The little girl picked up a candle struck a match. Then she lit the candle and held it out in front of her and looked around.
The people in the darkness turned to see where this sound was coming from. All they saw was a single flickering light in the darkness, a candle light. In all this darkness a candle light was the only thing to be seen. So small and insignificant in the glare of the light, but so powerful in the darkness.
Gradually the darkness started to wear her down. She was getting weaker and weaker, but still she sang strong and fearless. She sang true and proud.
In the last second before she let go a sound like nothing anyone in the world had ever heard before began to rumble and echo in the hills, it ran through the streams and rivers, it flowed in the wind, it spurted out of the ground like new flowers, it flew with the eagles as they soared through the skies.
Everything was alive and fighting back. The sound of the people's voices reached into every corner of darkness. All around her people started to light candles and hold them up high into the sky.
A great crack of thunder echoed thought the skies. Tiny screams echoed throughout the darkness, but were soon overtaken by the sheer power of everyone singing. The little girl picked herself up and joined in the singing once again.
She looked down at the floor; there on the darkened floor was her candle, it was now broken and without a flame. She sighed and looked up to the sky again and sang, louder and stronger than anyone else around her.
She felt something warm near her hand as a boy handed her a lit candle. She took it and together, together the villages sang, and sang and sang until there was no darkness left, just the hot blazing sun to bring hope and light to them.
In the end, it didn't take someone big and strong to save them, it took someone who was brave, who held onto hope, when everyone else around them let it slide away. Someone who never ever gave up!
And so the story is told of how a single candle light in a world of darkness could spread hope and faith to everyone in the world.
It is still said that when the darkness of the night comes and the moon's shine can't reach you the song of the candle light can be heard whispering hope and faith in the wind to you, until you can find the light."

Could More Private Sector Participation be the Solution to India's Recent Coal Scandals?
Over the last few months, the Indian coal sector has been buffeted by a series of coal scandals and wrapped in a sense of policy paralysis. Indian Coal Report's Bishal Thapa looks at possible solutions.
The evident corruption and policy uncertainty is as much a struggle between two visions on who should really be the beneficiaries of coal.
Over the last two decades, the argument was that you could rely on the private sector to mine the coal and translate the benefits of cheap, domestic and, supposedly, abundant coal to all consumers, rich and poor, rural and urban, agricultural and industrial.
The role of the private sector in coal mining has grown despite the legal barrier of the Coal Mines (Nationalisation)
Private sector participation in coal mining has grown in a number of ways. More than half of the production from Coal India Limited (CIL), the country's largest coal producer, already involves private sector. CIL outsources production to private companies.
Last week, the Chairman of the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council, Mr. C. Rangarajan, reiterated the need to expand on this arrangement. He recommended that CIL use the private sector to mine coal and then buy it at an agreed price.
This model is not entirely new. In 2005-2006, CIL deployed an 'emergency production plan' that sought to add 20 -25 Mt of incremental production through production outsourcing models. In September this year, the Ministry of Coal began revising the contractual framework and bidding documents to allow CIL to expand production outsourcing through 'mine developer operator' (MDO) models. In it, CIL outsources all of the operation, including mine development, to the developer but retains ownership and the sole marketing rights.
Along with the growing involvement of the private sector in mining, the Government has also accelerated awards of coal blocks to private parties for captive use. Thus far, 117 blocks, representing about 22Bt of reserves, have been awarded to private companies. About 65% of these blocks were awarded in the last seven years.
Production from the captive blocks has failed to meet expectations. Against a production target of 100Mt by 2011- 12, these blocks could produce only about 35Mt. The ability of the private sector to translate the benefits of cheap, abundant coal to all of India is now being questioned. The question now being asked is whether the emphasis on private participation in the sector is benefiting consumers.
At this stage, this concern hasn't yet begun to evolve into a full-scale movement threatening a reversal. But the momentum is gathering around these challenges.
One of the first announcements of the new Union Minister of Power, Jyotiraditya M. Scindia, was that no new power plants would go without supply of domestic coal.
But there was one caveat: power plants entitled to a fuel supply agreement with Coal India will be required to get a confirmation from the Ministry of Power that domestic coal supply from Coal India to the plant will benefit consumers.
How the benefit to consumers will be measured, how it will be established what 'benefit consumers' even means, is not entirely clear. Though cheered by business, the recent increases in electricity tariffs across several states were not welcome. In some cases, tariffs rose as much as 20%.
The tariff hike was desperately needed to balance revenues against the cost of supply. Most distribution companies are effectively bankrupt under accumulated debt and continuing losses. But there is also a growing sense that the two-decade long drive to liberalize coal hasn't made electricity any cheaper or any affordable.
Placing the 'benefit of consumers' at the centre of the coal dividend may be no more than just a rhetorical populist response to the coal scandals, in anticipation of forthcoming elections. But it may also be a sign of things to come.

Much information on the use of economic instruments for environmental protection and natural resource management is available in a new database. This is the result of collaboration between the EEA, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and DG Environment of the European Commission.
Levels of potentially harmful ground-level ozone exceeded a critical threshold somewhere in Europe on more than three days out of four this summer, according to preliminary information compiled by the European Environment Agency. Ozone, the main component of summer smog, can cause serious health problems in humans and damage to ecosystems, agricultural crops and materials. It forms when certain air pollutants emitted by industry and transport react with sunlight. Ozone levels tend to be highest during warm, sunny weather, and are generally higher in southern Europe than in the north.

The mother of a teenage schoolgirl today accused police of missing chance after chance to save her from being murdered by an obsessed former boyfriend who made repeated threats to kill her.
Arsema Dawit was stabbed 30 times close to her home near Waterloo station in London by Thomas Nugusse on 2 June last year.
Arsema, 15, and Nugusse, 22, had met at church and dated, but after the teenager ended the relationship her former boyfriend made repeated threats which were reported to the police in the weeks before her death.
Nugusse was today convicted of the killing. After his arrest he made two suicide attempts which left him brain damaged and unable to enter a plea.
Arsema was attacked in a lift as she returned home from school and todayher mother, Tsehaynesh Medhane, blamed police failings for contributing to her daughter's death. The Independent Police Complaints Commission said it will investigate the family's complaint.
Outside the court Medhane said: "I feel that Arsema's life could have been saved if the police authorities had taken action when I approached them before she died."
Six weeks before the killing, Arsema and her mother went to Kennington police station in south London to report threats by Nugusse and an assault on the schoolgirl in a McDonald's restaurant and demand her attacker be arrested.
She told a friend Nugusse had said to her: "Do you love me, because if you don't love me, I will kill you."
While there Nugusse sent a text to Arsema which was shown to police.
Medhane said: "I phoned him and asked him where he was and he replied on the phone that he would kill her."
Nugusse told the mother: "How many times are you going to accompany her? I will kill her one day."
CCTV footage from the day of the murder shows Nugusse stalking Arsema as she walked home from school, and following her across a zebra crossing as she neared the flats where she lived.
Medhane told the judge in a statement: "My life has changed forever. I have lost hope. My daughter is constantly in my mind. She was my precious child and there are no words to express how I feel."
Sarah Whitehouse, prosecuting, said shortly after Arsema was killed, Nugusse made a 999 call in which he confessed to the killing, telling the operator: "I had a fight with my girlfriend and I killed my girlfriend." He added that he could not live without her and did not have "anything to live for".
Whitehouse said Nugusse came to Britain from Eritrea when he was 17.
Nugusse was ordered to be detained in hospital indefinitely.

Amid calls for the US Senate to investigate Google's "morally bankrupt tax policies", Mr Schmidt insisted the company's tax arrangements were both legal and correct.
"It's called capitalism," he told Bloomberg. "We are proudly capitalistic. I'm not confused about this."
He added: "We pay lots of taxes; we pay them in the legally prescribed ways. I am very proud of the structure that we set up. We did it based on the incentives that the governments offered us to operate."
In Britain Vince Cable was unimpressed by Mr Schmidt's views. The Business Secretary told The Daily Telegraph: "It may well be [capitalism] but it's certainly not the job of governments to accommodate it."
A Californian pressure group called Consumer Watchdog wrote to the Senate's Finance Committee demanding a hearing on Google's "global tax avoidance strategies".
Consumer Watchdog's director John Simpson called for the Committee to schedule a time for Mr Schmidt and Google's chief executive could "testify under oath and explain their company's flagrant abuse of the tax code to the detriment of all who play fairly."
Mr Simpson urged the Senate to work with "other countries' tax authorities" to "put an end to egregious loopholes that allow cynical exploitation by this generation's Robber Barons."
"Governments in Europe, many of which have ben targets of Google's morally bankrupt tax policies, are actively seeking redress," he wrote. "But this is not a problem that only impacts other countries' revenues. Google's tactics strike at the US Treasury as well, forcing the rest of us to make up for the Internet giant's unwillingness to pay its fair share."
He added: "What makes Google's activities so reprehensible is its hypocritical assertion of its corporate motto, "Don't Be Evil."
The letter echoes accusations made by British MPs that Google and other firms including Starbucks and Amazon, have been "immorally" minimising its tax bills.
Regulatory filings that emerged earlier this week showed that Google managed to halve its tax bill last year and avoid $2bn levies by funnelling $9.8bn - around 80pc of its profit - through Bermuda.
Overall, Google paid a rate of 3.2pc on its overseas earnings, despite generating most of its revenues in high-tax jurisdictions in Europe.
The documents, filed last month in the Netherlands, showed that Britain was Google's second biggest market generating 11pc of its sales, or $4.1bn last year. But the company paid just £6m in UK corporation tax.
Last week, Starbucks caved into public pressure and promised to pay £20m to the Treasury over the next two years. Yesterday Mr Cable said the move by Starbucks was not enough to settle the row. He told reporters that "a lot of work has to be done in this area" but argued that the Government was right to tackle it with other members of the G8. The Chancellor George Osborne has vowed to lead the G8 in a clamp-down on tax avoidance.
