Trade between Iraq and the Netherlands in 2011 topped $630 million, according to a report from AKnews.
Salam Qurayshi, economic advisor to the Iraqi Council of Ministers, told AKnews the business was mainly in the field of residential housing and oil projects.
He added there are only nine Dutch companies in Iraq and 21 company representations.
The government is trying to increase trade with the Netherlands and triple the number of Dutch companies in 2012, Mr. Qurayshi added.

Fad on the go, poking fun and power of sharing
Pokemon Go is losing players, but those here are still going strong
Some say the Pokemon Go fad is fading. And there have been numerous articles in recent weeks saying that the user base is falling fast. Around 15 million users have reportedly given it up since its mid-July launch.
Despite the drop in global numbers, the craze seems very much alive in Singapore, thanks to a contingent of devoted players who have taken their passion online.
There are, for instance, several public chats on Telegram that concentrate on where to hunt for Pokemons. There is one for the north-east of Singapore, one for the south-west, and others for particular "hot spots" such as Hougang, Changi Village, Marina Bay Sands and Woodlands Waterfront Park, which are rife with rare creatures.
Thousands of messages are sent through these chats each day. Those new to the game might find the deluge of information intimidating. But many of those on the chats are happy to give a helping hand.
There has also been a plethora of Twitter accounts set up to alert users when elusive Pokemons such as the dinosaur-like Lapras and the winged rarity Aerodactyl appear.
One such account that has proven to be reliable is Epic SG Pokemon (@EpicSGPokemon). A typical message reads like this: "(QUEENSTOWN) Aerodactyl until 11:32:45PM at 460 Alexandra Rd."
It is accompanied by a Google map link, and typically gives its users up to 15 minutes or so to rush to the location. That is probably a key reason why one might see a congregation of people and vehicles at an obscure spot for no rhyme or reason.
Apps such as Go Radar for iPhone have also been popular, although Twitter seems to be the platform of choice when it comes to getting the latest information.
Several enterprising players, such as Mr Brandon Tan, have taken to Facebook to promote their services. In a minute-long video posted last Sunday, Mr Tan is seen using multiple devices to play the game.
"So far the maximum I'm able to handle is five accounts but four is just nice and rather comfortable for me to play for around eight to 12 hours," he said in a post that been seen more than 160,000 times.
IPHONE 7: Apple's newest offering in its smartphone series has been trending online, despite its similarities to previous iterations. The key difference? No headphone jacks this time round.
2016 PARALYMPICS: The Rio Paralympics kicked off on Thursday night with a total of 13 Singaporean athletes participating across six sports. Follow the action here: https://twitter.com/ stsportsdes k
TAYLOR SWIFT AND TOM HIDDLESTON: A high-profile relationship has run its course after just a short three months. Sources say it was an "amicable split".
Mr Tan, who stations himself in Hougang, charges $25 an hour for his services, which start at 6pm and end at 6am.
It is entirely plausible that Pokemon Go might have just a handful of users in a year's time. But, for now, the game has brought strangers, whose paths would never have crossed otherwise, closer together.
Mr Guay Chong Kian, 45, is a creative partner of the advertising agency Goodfellas.
But when time permits, he does a bit of doodling and posts his work on a Facebook page which has gained a fair amount of traction in recent weeks. The inspiration for the page, he says, cropped up a year ago after he watched a movie about a group of cartoonists who draw for the The New Yorker magazine.
His page - SemiSerious - was set up after he received overwhelming response online for a cartoon on the controversy surrounding the National Arts Council bin centre.
The Auditor-General's Office of Singapore had flagged the council for the high fees paid to consultants ($410,000) for the refuse collection point, which cost another $470,000.
Mr Guay's cartoon shows a family of cockroaches standing before the bin centre, luggage in tow. The caption reads: "Honey, NAC built us a very expensive home."
Since then, he has gone on to poke fun at several other national issues including the Circle Line delays, the haze and the Zika virus.
Most of his posts have gathered hundreds of likes, comments and shares. "I assume it resonates with the audience and that is very encouraging," he told The Sunday Times.
Although the page, set up last month, is still in its nascent stages, it has already attracted thousands of fans.
"Most Singaporeans are quite a serious bunch," he said. "I'm hoping that through these satirical cartoons, we can learn to laugh at ourselves a little and, just like what the page name suggests, don't be too serious. Semi will do."
People tend to remember events better after they have related their experience to someone else. So it may not be that surprising then, that sharing personal stories on social media might actually boost your memory.
A recent study, done by Cornell University on 66 undergraduates, suggests that the best way for users to remember personal experiences is to put them online.
"Social media - blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and others alike - provide an important outlet for us to recall memories, in the public space, and share with other people," says the study's lead author, Professor Wang Qi of the College of Human Ecology.
The act of posting on social media plays a vital role in the construction of "self", adds Prof Wang. Another point that reinforces memory recall is how interactive elements on social media, such as being able to like or re-share a post, "shape how we view our experiences, how we view ourselves".

I highly recommend Adrian from MPP based on our experience with pool on a complicated waterfront site. He came up with an excellent maintenance plan designed to keep our pool looking crystal clear year round.

If you could find the time is there anyway you could help my friend and i figure this problem out? I would rly love to contribute more to my raid team 🙂
Looking to get a review of our resto shaman because she's underperforming and I don't know enough about what to look for to identify the problem areas myself.
I'm sure part of it is that we run with a Disc priest but she's consistently doing about half the healing of our other healers.
Thanks for your time.

ooo that did not go as planned lol one sec 🙂

Hi Koore!
As indicated in the guideline section, it is difficult to give detailed feedback on heroic encounters. But we will try to give you guys something to work with.
Quick pointers
- Swap your weapon enchant for the mastery one.
- Try running Totemic Projection. Moving totems (most notably Spirit Link and Capacitator) helps damage mitigation a lot. Just learn which totems you can't use at the same time (check this page for an overview)
Cooldowns and uptimes
First of all, you seem to be over healing encounters slightly to a lot. 3 Healers on 11 people is very generous in terms of heals. What will happen is that shielders (disc priest / paladins) dominate the meters. In terms of optimizing cooldown usage, you can gain a lot. Generally, you want to use you big output cooldowns as much as you can in a fight. Shamans are very cooldown dependent. Those cooldowns are:
- Healing Tide (uptime very low – this is a huge potential output loss);
- Ascendance (uptime even lower – another huge potential output loss) – When Ascendance is up, spam chain heal as much as possible. Totem healing does not count for ascendance so you want to use direct output heals.
- Yes there is also Spirit Link, but that is a damage mitigation cooldown and not an output cooldown. So try to use this at smart times, but it is not changing your output.
The following output spells should be used whenever they come off cooldown:
- Healing Stream Totem (uptimes a bit off – are you getting distracted?);
- Riptide (decent uptime);
- Elemental Blast (uptime a bit low > try to keep it up more to increase your overall regen).
Other than that, you weave in spells, most notably Chain Heal. The other spells (Healing Wave, Healing Surge, Healing Rain) are used as fillers when useful.
We suggest you start reflecting on fights and your cooldown usage. Look at how long the fight lasts and calculate cooldowns accordingly. If a fight lasts 5 minutes, you can probably squeeze in Healing Tide and Ascendance twice. Which you want to do, since it is such a big part of your healing. You don't have to squeeze the maximum at all costs, but if you can do a 'sneaky healing tide' in the first 30 seconds of the fight to get some extra healing off – why not use it!
You are currently using the leech trinket. Are you two aware that this healing does not show up on the traditional meters? You can download a Skada add-on from Curse that will add this to the healing totals, giving you a better insight in the actual healing.
Additionally, you are using the class trinket which is suboptimal. Try replacing this for the Demonic Phylactery if you can get your hands on it (even the normal version). It is the strongest trinket out there and our absolute number one.
Hopefully this is helpful to you :).
March 20, 2016 at 21:00 #2351elvenbaneParticipant
Are you two aware that this healing does not show up on the traditional meters
Yes. I'm less concerned with the overall healing numbers than ensuring the play style is correct.
Going to add the advice that I got from Cannibehealz and Sensations to the thread so it's in one place.
Regarding your Resto Shamans – it would appear that on top of overhealing the content there are two glaring issues. The first being that they are not aggressive enough with their casting habits. The both of them are on the bottom of the casts count for the encounter. While Chain Heal is a longer cast, they should not be THAT far below others. if you're continuing to cast at all times, you will likely see an average mid 720s shaman manage around 30 casts per minute. Your shamans are both under 25 at 21 and 24. On top of this, they manage to overlap cooldowns a significant amount and under use them. First HTT being over 4.5 mins into the fight for both of them, they both lost 1 use each. They also only used Asc once each and not until late. Both of these abilities are free healing and should be maximized at all times.
During his Ascendance, he didn't have a HR down, didn't use CH or pre-setup riptides for max bounces, it was also used at a very poor time. Ascendance requires some setup to be used at the max(HR down, ~3-4 riptides out, and just spamming CH).
His Healing Stream Totem usage was very poor, he had the potential of 12 healing stream totems yet he only placed 5. This is huge when you run the talent Rushing Streams, which it looks like he's running.
His Chain heal only bounced 5.3x on average, it can bounce 6x per cast. This means he was either Chain Healing players not close enough to others, or he didn't have enough riptides out for the extra 2 bounces to bounce to.
He had 5 healing rain cast, with the maximum potential for 36. In this scenario and type of fight he should've had at least 10-12 healing rains if not more.
Basically he needs to remember to utilize his management abilities. HST near on cd, Healing rain when you know damage is coming. He needs to watch his Ascendance usage, it's a huge spell in our arsenal, he needs to setup for it properly. He needs to manage riptide better with chain heal, Chain Heal is our bread and butter, the term spamming CH is very real, a 6 bounce CH(If enough riptides are out and in range) does significant healing and will make or break a shaman, especially during Ring and Ascendance. Seems like he's just misplaying the micro game, maybe larger notifications/weakauras can help.

THIS is the scene you've been waiting for boys! Bionic top Blake Mitchell gets his beautiful tight muscle ass TOPPED, and it is with a smoldering hot PILE of beautiful young boys! FOUR boys to be exact, sucking and fucking and enjoying every inch of each other. It's seems only natural that some serious fucking would go down when you put Blake Mitchell, Logan Cross, Colton James and Sean Ford in a room with nothing but bulging cocks and perky round asses to entertain themselves. No inhibitions here, the boys go full force and tongues first into each other's tight smooth asses, priming each twink's pucker for some severe RAW condom free fucking! Blake is already a legendary top and does NOT let these boy's bubble butts down. He plows some of the prettiest puckers in the biz while they keep their mouth's busy blowing one another's big boners. They take turns swapping, milking their time in each tight hole with a super slutty synchronicity. The sounds alone are enough to get you off, balls slapping tight twink asses, young men's moans and pleads to go harder will have you raging hard. The crescendo cums when big boner'ed Blake gets banged like a butch bitch! We love Blake as a top but he has an EPIC ass and seeing it penetrated is a cock dripping treat! He goes back to doing what he does best, destroying ass as they all cum together and get covered in one another's liquid love. Grab a tissue!

When putting the exceptionally twinkie Noah White and Joey Mills together, add in a skate board for good measure so the boys can work up an energetic sweat and shit is BOUND to go down! And sure enough, Joey Mills goes down first and fast. He feasts on Noah's cock like any growing boy should. Speaking of growing, Joey's junk is getting bigger by the second. The kid DEFINITELY has one of THE most gigantic cocks in the twink stratosphere. This definitely isn't a problem for cock aficionado Noah. It's pure porn ecstasy as Joey grabs the boy by the back of the head and rams his hugeness balls deep down his throat! Mill's hole is crying for attention so White happily wiggles his tongue deep inside before dipping his wick in too! The apple pie all american heartthrob bangs that beautiful backside as Mill's jacks his giant hammer. One good turn deserves another so Noah climbs on top and squats down swiftly, taking all Joey has to offer as the two make out like high schooler's on Lover's Lane. Joey lifts Noah up with ease to get at that ass. Apparently his tongue was a bit jealous of his cock so he gives it a crack at that ass and then REALLY goes to work, blasting away as his big balls slap the naughty boy's cheeks. This is just too much for Noah's nuts to take and he lets loose all over the sheets, then turns around just in time to get a face FULL of Joey's joy juice, sucking out every last drop! We hope tomorrow is laundry day you dirty boys!
Wet and Wild twinks
Since Blake Mitchell is one of our most popular tops, we get to see a lot of him. However, you've never seen him like this! He's solo, intimate and super revealing in more ways than one. Max Carter is like a porn star psychiatrist and always gets the boys to divulge delicious details we normally wouldn't hear. We find out what Helix porn stars Blake hangs out with, that he's from Seattle and see that he's DEFINITELY been working out! WOW! All the exercise has definitely paid off but the boy is sweaty and needs to take a shower. Lucky for us he's wearing super sexy tighty whities! Ever the tease, he keeps them on in the shower, playing with his enormous package as it grows and the wet undies give us a good view.

What Happened With the Teacher Strike?
If you've been wondering what happened to the CCSD teacher strike, The Teachers' Union and CCSD have reached an agreement to avoid what would've been a strike on September 10th. A meeting was held on August 28th at the CCSD headquarters as a last-minute attempt to avoid the strike.
When asked about his opinion on this new agreement, Greg Bailey, an educator at A-TECH who planned to join the strike, said, "I believe that CCSD agreed to it because they had no leg to stand on."
Bailey, like many others, had fallen victim to CCSD not living up to previous contracts. He had spent thousands of dollars pursuing a higher education, was promised a salary increase, and was left with no increase and much debt.
Similar stories to Bailey's were spread throughout the CCSD area. Outrage sparked from CCSD's continuous empty promises. This caused a planned strike on September 10th. Thousands of teachers were said to have been joining. Many kids were hoping their teachers joined, not only for the free day, but also in support of getting their teachers better pay.
Crisanta Campos, a sophomore, said, "I don't think teachers get paid as much as they should be, [and] to go years into debt for a career where they're not paid enough for their service isn't fair in my opinion."
Fortunately, an agreement was reached in favor of avoiding the Teacher Union's huelga on August 28th, just 13 days before the planned strike day. According to this new agreement, teachers will receive:
- A 3 percent adjustment for every employee in the bargaining unit with an adjustment on the current salary schedule
- A step increase in each year of the contract (2019-2020 and 2020-2021) for every eligible employee of the bargaining unit
- A 4 percent increase in both years in CCSD's contribution to monthly health insurance premiums
- A column advancement for every employee of the bargaining unit who has completed their Professional Growth System (PGS) requirements of meeting the 225 contact units per Article 26 of the collective bargaining agreement for each year of the current contract
Upon ratification of the economic re-opener, the parties agreed to form working groups to discuss a new PGS with research based system that improves teacher practice to improve student achievement.
This contract sparks hope for many. CCSD hopes that with this compromise, staff will feel compensated for their hard work, teachers hope that with this new agreement they will finally receive the pay and benefits they deserve, and students hope their teachers will finally be paid justly for their service.

I'm starting to see a pattern…
When I was a kid, I loved kites. The idea that something that had no power source of its own could fly was fascinating. It was even more fascinating to tie payloads to my kite string and lift them as well. (Those little green baskets that strawberries used to come in were awesome for making gondolas!) I should have known it was a sign of things to come.
Years later I got into sailing. I'd been on power boats, but they just didn't do it for me. Again, I think the fascination had to come from the idea of being in a vessel that had no inherent power source, but that still moved through the water with ease. No surprise, my wife and I gravitated toward catamarans – some of the most efficient sailing vessels ever made.
When I got into aerial photography, I guess it was only natural that I returned to kites, albeit seriously upgraded from the ones I used as a kid. Using kites for aerial photography offers serious operational benefits, such as the ability to sit in one location for hours, if necessary, until the light happens. But it has non-photographic benefits as well that go back to why I got into kites and sailing in the first place: the silence, the power, the peace.
And now I'm getting into RC airplanes. For a variety of reasons the plane I chose has a large high-aspect wing, low wing loading, and a decent glide slope. These are all features you want when sticking camera gear on an airplane. But they benefit something else as well: using the plane as a glider. And the more I fly it, the less inclined I am to use it for aerial photography. It's just too fun to fly! And the more I fly it, the more I find myself cutting the motor entirely and gliding. Just like flying a kite, flying a glider is therapeutic.
The problem has been finding places and times when I can fly. The wind around my house ranges from moderate to torrential. But it's almost never zero. When I got my plane I thought that kites and airplanes would fill two different parts of the wind regime: zero wind = airplanes, moderate wind = kites. Too much wind means the plane stays home. And there's almost always too much wind. I thought I was stuck. But all that changed when I discovered slope soaring.
When wind encounters a slope, hill, cliff, or even a generously sized building, the wind has to go up and over the obstruction. This creates an upward moving body of air just in front of and above the slope. Put an airplane in that body of air, and it flies. And since energy is being pumped in in the form of upward moving wind, the airplane can theoretically fly indefinitely, just like a kite. This works so well, the airplane doesn't really need a motor at all. All it needs is enough oomph to be able to use the lift from the wind and turn it into speed.
There are, of course, idealized regimes of airplane design that lend themselves to slope soaring better than others, just as there are idealized regimes of automotive design that lend themselves to racing on flat pavement better than others. But any car will roll if you position it at the top of a hill and release the brake. Likewise, practically any RC airplane can be used for slope soaring. It may just require a slightly different setup than what you'd normally use for open field flight.
It turns out the Bixler 2, my first and so far only RC airplane, makes a darned good slope soarer. I discovered this when I couldn't find a good place to fly. I finally wound up at the cliffs above Hapuna Beach where a moderate on-shore wind was blowing. The cliffs make a decent slope, and the almost completely laminar on-shore wind make for wonderful flying conditions. I wound up flying for more than half an hour, and only had to use my motor a couple of times to correct my rookie mistakes. When I put the battery on the charger afterward, I was amazed to see it top off with only 330mAh of charge. It's a 2200mAh battery. I could've gone for hours.
When I got my plane, I felt a little dirty – like I'd stuck a motor on a sailboat or put a propeller on a kite. I should've known it wouldn't work out like that. Instead, I found a way to make the airplane fit right along with everything else. It doesn't matter if it's kites, boats, or airplanes. It's all about the wind. It's always about the wind.
– Tom

In the ORLEN Group's Strategy as updated in 2018, Value Creation, People and Financial Strength remain the pillars of growth until 2022. The strategy update was required on account of the considerable macroeconomic volatility and the need to announce our quantitative targets for the next two years. Key development directions for the ORLEN Group in 2019–2022, as set out in the updated strategy, are to expand and enhance its petrochemical production, enter the low-carbon energy sector in Downstream, consistently grow retail sales, and sustainably develop its hydrocarbon E&P operations.
Based on its track record to date, the ORLEN Group has been consistent and successful in the pursuit of its strategic plans. The Company exceeded its average annual LIFO-based EBITDA target set for 2017–2018 by PLN 400m, posting an annual average LIFO-based EBITDA of PLN 9.2bn. The strong performance supported its regular dividend policy commitments, with a dividend of PLN 3 per share paid to shareholders both in 2017 and 2018. Financial ratios remained at comfortable levels, with the average annual financial leverage for 2017–2018 at 7.1%, far below the strategic cap of 30%.
Having delivered on its previous and current strategies, the ORLEN Group now enjoys the best ever position in its history and is excellently placed for further growth. In parallel with delivering its all-time best performance, over the past two years the ORLEN Group has also been engaged in efforts to solidify its competitive position in the long run. Key projects to boost future business growth embarked on in 2018 included the acquisition of a controlling stake in Grupa Lotos, launch of the petrochemicals expansion programme, preparations for offshore wind farm development and fast-tracking of the process to adapt the retail network to new mobility trends through the roll-out of alternative fuel distribution facilities. Over that time, work was also under way to reinforce ORLEN's foothold in foreign markets – a tender offer was carried out to squeeze out minority interests and buy up 100% of Unipetrol shares in the Czech Republic, and initial steps were taken with a view to optimising logistics in Lithuania.
However, the rapidly changing market environment calls for continuous revision of our business ambitions. As the energy sector is facing enormous challenges across the globe, the ORLEN Group's updated strategy embraces long-term trends in raw materials, social changes and environmental regimes. We place a strong focus on developing our existing assets and advancing innovation, which is to help us preserve a strong competitive advantage in the extremely dynamic environment. In addition, given the rapidly evolving business environment, we must adjust our planning horizon to market challenges. Therefore, in the updated strategy the ORLEN Group has changed the way of presenting its objectives and ambitions, and has committed to regularly revising and communicating its plans for future periods.
Value Creation, People and Financial Strength to remain the ORLEN Group's growth pillars. A new addition is the Culture of Innovation, which will support the Group in responding to future challenges.
The ORLEN Group's business plans for the Downstream segment are based around a continued strategic drive to consolidate its market position, achieve further growth and improve efficiency. As regards crude oil supplies, the Company will continue to diversify sources of this key feedstock. Plans include further development and extension of the value chain:
In Retail, the strategy puts a focus on expanding the sales network, new additions to the retail offering and fostering closer ties with customers. Key objectives are to maintain the Group's lead in its home markets, roll out new services and customer service channels, get ready to distribute alternative fuels, and improve customer satisfaction thanks to a flexible and personalised offering. These measures are expected to lift the non-fuel margin by more than 30% and contribute to the retail network's organic growth with an addition of some 150 new stations by 2022.
In Upstream, the Group's focus will be on quality assets and the most promising projects in Poland and Canada. The objective is to bring Upstream to a level where it can generate positive cash flows and operate as a financially self-sustaining business within the shortest possible time.
The Company's CAPEX budget for 2019–2020 will average PLN 6.8bn annually, an increase of PLN 2.2bn over 2017–2018. Of that amount, PLN 4.9bn has been allocated to Downstream, PLN 0.7bn will be invested in Retail and PLN 0.7bn will be spent on Upstream projects. The target full-year LIFO-based EBITDA for the period will average PLN 10.3bn, up by PLN 1.1bn from 2017–2018.
Having reviewed the globally unfolding social trends, including the labour market evolution and expectations vis-à-vis the business sector, the Group has decided to further strengthen its human capital as a foundation underpinning its future sustainable growth. Key measures to be taken include a continuation of previous years' efforts to adhere to the highest OHS standards, follow a zero accidents policy and improve staff qualifications, e.g. by consistently offering new professional advancement opportunities and improved access to training. All the strategic objectives will be pursued with respect for the natural environment as our paramount concern.
An essential part of the strategy is to maintain the Group's solid financial foundations, with diversified sources of funding and comfortable debt levels. Our objective is to keep financial leverage below 30% and, depending on the Group's financial position, follow a policy of regular dividend payments. By keeping our financial ratios at safe levels, we will be able to seize potential inorganic growth opportunities as they arise.
A vital vision of the updated strategy is to ensure long-term competitive advantages for the ORLEN Group by strengthening innovation both within and outside the organisation. Plans include setting up a Strategic Research Agenda, the Group's own accelerator and CVC fund. The Group will also launch an in-house R&D centre, as a platform for networking ORLEN with science and business partners.
For 2019−2020, PKN ORLEN has adopted the following set financial and operating targets:
A presentation of PKN ORLEN's updated strategy for 2019–2022 is available from:

Sometimes after a long week all you want to do is relax in your space. You don't want it to be to perfect or organised. You want somewhere liveable and relaxing. That's why I love these pictures below.
This living space is so perfect for a lazy lunch with your family. All the kids can run around in this light open area and you can sit with a glass of wine and relax on the couch or chat with family around the table. The plants bring some colour into the room and these light wooden tables are effortlessly stylish. They offer a relaxed, holiday feel and are inviting. I love what they have done with the lights; with this bamboo influence the room looks rustic and restful.
I want this room to be in my house. There's nothing better than reading near a cozy fire. Disappearing into the world of your book. I can imagine myself curled up on this chair reading about Harry Potter's adventures at Hogwarts.
I love that this place makes me think of the Herbology greenhouse in Harry Potter – ok okay – I admit, most greenhouses make me think of Harry's first herbology class but like their cute! This one is stunning because it is so lovely outside and inside they have brought in plants that just make it like a paradise inside.
Which of these rooms is your favourite?

Editor's note: There is no audio in the above video clip
Before tipoff of the opening preseason game Monday night at the Kings' new arena, the Golden 1 Center, Bay Area native Leah Tysse took the mic to sing the national anthem. Near the end of her performance, Tysse took a stance as she lowered to the ground.
With Kings cheerleaders holding onto the American flag behind her, Tysee lowered her head and went to a knee to finish her performace. The act stems from 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick protesting the national anthem for social and racial injustice in America.
In a statement on her Facebook page, Tysse called her act of taking a knee, "The most patriotic thing I could do." Her full statement can be seen below:
Why I took a knee while singing the Anthem at a Sacramento Kings NBA game: This act embodies the conflict many of us feel. I love and honor my country as deeply as anyone yet it is my responsibility as an American to speak up against injustice as it affects my fellow Americans. I have sung the anthem before but this time taking a knee felt like the most patriotic thing I could do. I cannot idly stand by as black people are unlawfully profiled, harassed and killed by our law enforcement over and over and without a drop of accountability. I believe that the majority of police are good and are against this too and as a nation we all need to speak up. We should all be outraged and demand justice and an end to the brutality. Let's look around our communities for those facilitating healthy interactions between law enforcement and communities of color and support. The sad reality is, as a white American I am bestowed a certain privilege in this nation that is not enjoyed by all people. Black families are having much different conversations with their children about how to interact with the police than white families. Let's be honest. Until we can recognize that white privilege exists we cannot have a dialogue about race. Whether or not you can see if from your vantage point, there is a deep system of institutionalized racism in America, from everyday discrimination to disproportionate incarceration of people of color to people losing their lives at the hands of the police simply for being black. This is not who we claim to be as a nation. It is wrong and I won't stand for it. #solidarity #pleasevote
The Kings opened up their new arena with a 153-96 victory over Maccabi Haifa of Israel.

3/4-5 Live Feeds: 6:00 PM-3:00 AM
Allison overheard Chelsia tell Sheila that she would let her "borrow" something to wear for the show tomorrow, so she is sure that Chelsia is voting Allison/Ryan out. She told Matt this, and Matt told her that he would be voting Adam/Sheila out. Allison believes that even if she is evicted, then she will be returning to the house. Allison also thinks that the eviction might not happen this week because presidential debates are blocking out TV. Allison and Sheila are upset that the voting couples are not revealing who they are voting out. Natalie says that she doesn't want drama tonight, which is why she is keeping quiet.
Sheila thinks that when the siren sounds, something will happen that will tear the couples apart, hence the "Til Death do You Part" name of the game. Allison still thinks that Matt will vote Adam/Sheila out, so she wants him to tell Chelsia/James so they can do the same. Matt doesn't care how Chelsia/James vote because he is targeting them next week. Allison still pressed him on his vote, so he started to argue with her. He told her that she is getting herself evicted by continuing to annoy HG about their vote.
Joshuah is very worried about the siren going off tonight. He thinks the eviction will go as planned this week, but he is worried about another couple returning to the house. BB took the spy TV remote out of the HoH bedroom, which also freaked Joshuah out. Natalie made quite a few notes about the game on a napkin using nail polish. She showed this to Matt, and the two studied for a while. Sharon accidentally broke the picture of her and Jacob she received this week. She seemed freaked out by it, since she broke that one of all the ones she received. James has just gone to bed, and all HG are still asleep as I post this.

Your Tree Service in Chandler Will Take Care of Your Home
Sometimes, being a responsible homeowner comes with more work than we can handle on our own. This is why it is important to get as much help as possible especially when it comes to those things that we don't really know how to handle. This is especially the case when it comes to your trees in your yard. If they are not pruned properly, they aren't going to look right. Because they aren't going to look right, everyone who drives by your home is going to see that there is an issue with your trees. This could be a little embarrassing. Rather than taking any chances of your trees looking strange, set up an appointment with your Tree Service in Chandler today.
Trimming your trees can be difficult work. After all, a tree branch is extremely heavy. Not to mention the fact that after it has been cut down, you would be responsible for removing the tree from your property. It makes more sense just to hire someone to do the job for you. They will talk with you in advance to find out what exactly you are hoping them to do. At this point, they will get started with transforming your yard into something beautiful.
Sergio's Lawn Service has a reputation for being able to do a beautiful job for a reasonable amount of money. Maybe you don't want a tree cut back. Maybe you have a dead tree that needs to be removed. If this were the case, your Tree Service in Chandler would get started as soon as possible. They will remove the entire tree from your yard. This way, nobody will ever know that there was ever a tree in that spot. If you would like to replace the old tree with something new, this is also something that Sergio's can help you with. They will talk with you about the different types of trees that are going to grow best with your climate. This way, it won't be long before you have a beautiful healthy tree in your yard once again. Always consult with your tree service before doing anything major to your trees.

Volume 26 Issue 2 February 2003 pp 207-214 Fuel Cells
The promise of fuel cell-based automobiles
A K Shukla C L Jackson K Scott
Fuel cell-based automobiles have gained attention in the last few years due to growing public concern about urban air pollution and consequent environmental problems. From an analysis of the power and energy requirements of a modern car, it is estimated that a base sustainable power of $ca$. 50 kW supplemented with short bursts up to 80 kW will suffice in most driving requirements. The energy demand depends greatly on driving characteristics but under normal usage is expected to be 200 Wh/km. The advantages and disadvantages of candidate fuel-cell systems and various fuels are considered together with the issue of whether the fuel should be converted directly in the fuel cell or should be reformed to hydrogen onboard the vehicle. For fuel cell vehicles to compete successfully with conventional internal-combustion engine vehicles, it appears that direct conversion fuel cells using probably hydrogen, but possibly methanol, are the only realistic contenders for road transportation applications. Among the available fuel cell technologies, polymer–electrolyte fuel cells directly fueled with hydrogen appear to be the best option for powering fuel cell vehicles as there is every prospect that these will exceed the performance of the internal-combustion engine vehicles but for their first cost. A target cost of $ 50/kW would be mandatory to make polymer–electrolyte fuel cells competitive with the internal combustion engines and can only be achieved with design changes that would substantially reduce the quantity of materials used. At present, prominent car manufacturers are deploying important research and development efforts to develop fuel cell vehicles and are projecting to start production by 2005.

In 2009 Rich Alexander had the good fortune of meeting Illustrator Alan Reingold while Rich was designing the 9/11 firefighter Memorial in Mt. Kisco, NY. Alan encouraged him to attend his portrait classes in Mt. Kisco and at Parsons School of Design in NYC. After working with Alan for two years Rich met fine artist Geoff Barbey who instructed Rich in oil painting at his Dobbs Ferry Studio. Geoff introduced Rich to famed landscape painter John Osborne who taught traditional painting at the Ridgewood Art Institute in Ridgewood NJ and Rich has been painting at the Ridgewood Art Institute ever since.
Rich is a trained Draftsman and owned and operated a Sign Company, hand lettering signs and trucks with lettering enamels. In 1986 Rich became a New York City Fire Fighter. During his 21 year career with the FDNY Rich designed, built and painted dozens of firehouse tables all over New York City, painted murals on firehouse walls and designed many company logos. Most tables have elaborate hand painted murals and are covered in clear epoxy which will last many lifetimes.
Rich describes his transition from working in some of New York City's busiest fire houses to working in some of the best studios around as "One of the most exciting things I've ever done, I'm blessed to have this opportunity. I'm drawn to anything creative, when I was in high school my father and I restored a 1958 corvette. That experience left an indelible impression. Witnessing the transformation of a broken down, dusty old non-functioning classic vehicle to an award winning sports car was awe inspiring." Rich has renovated houses, designed Granite Memorials, and designed developed and managed production of residential lighting. "I've had a good run of creative experiences over the years, oil painting however has captured my heart and changed my life. I can't imagine doing anything else. I'm devoted to developing my skills as an oil painter. The parallel between the comradery I experienced in firehouses all over New York City and the comradery I see in the studios is captivating. People helping people." Rich is drawn to seascapes and landscapes but loves still life work as well.

UN COUTEAU DANS LE CŒUR / Knife + Heart
Dripping with the stylistic residue of the era's B-thrillers, and soundtracked by a lush, synthetic score by the director's brother (aka electronic producer M83), Knife + Heart re-creates a period of sexual freedom and optimism that, like its subjects, was under nascent threat by unseen forces that would soon do irreparable damage. (Jordan Cronk, Film Comment)
If Dario Argento, Brian De Palma and Kenneth Anger conceived a three-way love child while watching Cruising and listening to a Giorgio Moroder mix tape, the result would be something like French director Yann Gonzalez's Knife + Heart. (Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter)
Yann Gonzalez
Yann Gonzalez was born in Nice, France, in 1977. After starting as a film critic, he went into directing with the short film "By the Kiss" (2006). He made several other shorts before taking the leap to feature length with "You And The Night" (2013), which premiered at Cannes Critic's Week. "Knife + Heart" screened in competition in Cannes and won him Best Picture at the Athens film festival.

"Then He said to them, 'But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one.'"
I am not sure what faith he is a part of, but when Christ himself advocates for armed individuals it is a good bet you are not working for him if you advocates against that.
Indeed. For more along the same lines, Rolf Nelson has written a nice novel entitled "Heretics of St. Possenti". Highly recommended.
My Christian faith also makes me a world without weapons which will happen once Jesus returns.
"Don't immanentize the eschaton" — W. F. Buckley
Part of his problem may be the DELIBERATE historical mis-translation of the "thou shall not murder" to read "thou shall not kill". IIRC, that was the King James version. Lots of problems due to that bit of horsepucky.
For those like Pete who argue that disarmament is the Christian way, I suggest this "thought experiment."
Imagine that I say to you, "I am going to kick you in the nads. You can stop me by defending yourself, or running away." Then I kick you in the nads.
As soon as you recover, I say to you, "I am going to kick you in the nads. You can stop me by defending yourself, or running away." Then I kick you in the nads, again.
Repeat until the person espousing the evils of self defense and the Christian purity of passivity either defends themselves (Yay, a convert!) or runs away (admitting defeat of their philosophy).
Again, this is just a thought experiment to try with people who think like Petey, that evil should not be defended against because of some misconceived morality, that cannot tell the difference between offensive violence (getting kicked in the nads for no reason, for example) versus defensive violence (stopping the person doing the kicking).
But he will try to take them from us, but not himself. Take from others what you have and keep for yourself. That's evil criminalty. And it's ALWAYS the way of slavery and tyranny.
Note that Buttgiggety doesnt bring up some of the other Biblical directives.
If he said that to me, I'd immediately ask him about abortion just to watch him squirm.
So, he thinks that the bible being silent on guns means we should ban them, but sodomy, which the bible forbids over and over, should be not only legal, but embraced, encouraged and celebrated.
Curious definition of "Christian."
Petey's misunderstood 'Christian religion' apparently also jettisoned the 8th Commandment: "Thou shalt not steal (… other peoples' property, i.e. weapons)".
Buttigieg probably jettisoned other Bible contents too, like Psalm 109, which c/should be offered for him:
8. Let his days be few; let another take his office.
11. Let an extortioner catch all that he hath; let strangers spoil his labour.
12. Let there be none to extend mercy unto him.
13. In the generation following let his name be blotted out.
[US Senator David Perdue did this for Obama ð ]
OK Pete,
Judge not that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brothers eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye. –Matthew 7:1-3
So that means if you are elected you will support applying ALL gun laws you want to impose on us on all government officials and government agents, you know, according to "the equal protection of the laws" in the 14th Amendment. Because, Pete, I know you want "the rule of law" and "no one is above the law". You down with that, Pete, or are you a "hypocrite" as Jesus labeled the Pharisees? Pete? Pete??!!

Cauliflower can take the place of potatoes in lots of recipes—curries, stews, roasts—with little adaptation. When baking or frying are involved, however, cauliflower's higher water content makes it more challenging: how, exactly, can we get rid of all that extra moisture?
The solution here is easy: squeeze it! After cooking and mashing the cauliflower, you simply need to apply some pressure, pressing as much moisture as possible out of the cauliflower so the final tots are crispy and delicious without a potato or deep-fryer in sight.
As with traditional tater tots, these are tasty with ketchup. They're also good with a garlicky homemade aioli or a spicy mix of mayonnaise and Sriracha. Also, like their potato brethren, these don't get better sitting around, so be sure to serve immediately!
- 1 head cauliflower
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (finely shredded)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, coconut flour, or almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated black pepper
- Spray oil
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (gluten-free if you like; panko was used for the tots in the picture)
Steps to Make It
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, cut the cauliflower into evenly sized florets. When the water comes to a boil, add the cauliflower and cook until the florets are very tender, about 10 minutes. (You can also steam the cauliflower to cook it, if you prefer.) Drain the cauliflower and spread it out on a baking sheet to cool.
Once the cauliflower is cool, mash it. A potato masher or ricer works, as does a large fork. You can also pulse the cauliflower in a food processor. Transfer the cauliflower onto a clean kitchen towel or layers of cheesecloth. Pick up the sides of the cloth, twist it into a bundle, and squeeze as much water as you can out of the cauliflower. Really go for it—the more water you get out now, the easier it will be to form the tots and the crispier they will be later.
Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Whisk in the cheese, flour, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cauliflower and combine everything thoroughly.
Line an 8-by-8 inch baking pan with plastic wrap or wax paper. Spread the cauliflower mixture evenly in the pan, cover, and chill for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
Preheat an oven to 400 F and liberally spray a sheet pan or baking pan with oil. Lay whatever breadcrumbs you'r using on a rimmed plate or in wide shallow bowl.
Lift the cauliflower mixture, plastic wrap and all, out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Cut into 36 even pieces (6 rows each direction).
With damp hands, roll each piece into a tater tot shape, roll in the breadcrumbs to coat, and set onto the baking sheet. Repeat with each piece.
Spray the tots with oil and bake until browned and crispy, about 50 minutes. Turn the tots over halfway through baking.
Transfer to a serving plate and serve immediately.

Funding cutBy Dairy News
A dairy lobby group will no longer receive funding from processors after a three-year agreement ceased on June 30.
In a statement Australian Dairy Farmers (ADF) announced the agreement, which had seen 11 processors contribute to funding the Australian Dairy Industry Council (ADIC), would not be renewed.
"Despite the important policy work undertaken by the ADIC, we understand there has been a perception among some farmers that the ADIC funding arrangement may blur the focus of ADF priorities and messaging, including our representation of farmer interests," the statement read.
"We believe that the conclusion of this arrangement will allow ADF to pursue its extensive advocacy agenda free from questions around our independence."
The lobby group said it will maintain discussions with processors through the Australian Dairy Products Federation (ADPF), which forms the ADIC along with the ADF, but no formal arrangement has been finalised.

Message for "Name a Dog" donation:
We just lost our AABR boxer. He had scabs and bumps, but the kindest eyes in the world. Otis had a hard first 2 years, but he was loved here and he returned our love 100 times over. Thank you for all you do!
- Marlene Woska
Message for "Name a Dog" donation:
Otis is doing great in his foster home. He is really coming out of his shell and has adjusted well to a vari kennel when left alone. He has started to play with toys. Otis goes to the park daily. He seems to like other dogs, but doesn't know how to engage in play with them. Otis knows sit and is working on stay and come. He has been to soccer games and to the harbor. Otis is going to be a wonderful addition to a lucky family.
Otis was found as a stray and is estimated to be around 3-5 years old. The shelter reported that Otis was an easygoing and timid boy who does wonderful with other dogs. He just arrived at his new foster home and is settling in. Otis rides well in the car and walks great on leash with his harness. He would do best in a home with another dog and where he will not be left alone for long periods of time. We will update his page as we learn more about this sweet boy.

The dwarf dismounts and does a quick search for tracks with the aid of his torchlight which also lets you get a good look at him. He looks to be barely an adult by dwarven standards, which would make him less than half your age... but there's enough confidence behind his grey eyes to give you the impression he can take care of himself. You'd also guess he's rarely ever slept on a bed wrapped in a bearskin cloak that is deeply soiled and unkempt, matching his own hair and rather short beard that are also wild and unkempt, so black they look almost tinged with blue. Standing 4'-10" he has the height of a hill dwarf with a warriors build, but his skin is unusually pale.The Dungeon Master said:Hobgoblin Scout: Raises his bow again to fire another arrow but pauses, glances in the direction you came from and breaks off running into the darkness. (3x move because of terrain)
It is then you notice the sound of hoof beats and several torches held high by riders approaching from camp.
Both of your arrows miss and another round passes before the riders are close enough for shouting distance. You count five riders, one of whom is Khaled. Two of the others are Akhenaten guards, one is an another merchant (though he appears to be more of a grizzled warrior-type than Khaled holding a crossbow) and the fourth is a dwarven scout.
Khaled: -Speaks to the other Merchant- "Jabbar, this is Billanverthorne, the guard I hired in Siellon."
Jabbar: -Speaking to the dwarf- "Avar, lend your skills to this elf if you please..."

Mother's Day Special: Inspiring Mothers Empower Young Achievers
This Mother's Day, we look at a few young achievers who attribute their remarkable journey to the one person who made it possible – their mother. It's a ParentCircle special.
By Lakshmi Krishnamoorthy • 9 min read
All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.
– Abraham Lincoln
Que sera sera. No one knows what the future holds in store for us. Yet, when energies are channelised and intentions are built on the bedrock of meticulous planning and diligence, dreams can be achieved. On the occasion of Mother's Day, we look at six young achievers who braved the odds to carve out a niche for themselves in the society. A random conversation with these youngsters reveals a common thread — mothers who wove passion and perseverance into the spirit of independence of these children. Here we go…
'I couldn't imagine being any luckier'
Tamaarah Sarah Balachander, 22, entrepreneur, artist and fashion designer, is honest when she says her mother didn't choose her career for her. Although Tamaarah's mother wanted her daughter to become an IPS officer, she quickly respected Tamaarah's interests and motivated her to pursue it with great determination. She gave her enough space to do what she wanted to and guided her not to look back when she met with failure. She constantly stood by her and asked her to trust in God. Tamaarah's mother responded with measured elation each time her daughter hit a milestone. This helped in Tamaarah staying level-headed and focussed. Tamaarah loves her mother's perseverance and determination, and her forgiving nature. "It takes a LOT to break her down," she says.
Mother's Day message: "We take great advantage of you and you silently let us do so. You bear super powers unlike any ordinary human being. And, we love you so much."
#LoveYouMom: "Ma, you mean the world and more to me. I can't imagine life without you. I love you!"
'Day and night by my side'
Ajay Kandappa, 29, endurance biker and Manager at Fotogurus, Chennai, says his mother was instrumental in helping him choose a career path. He reminisces with fondness about how she taught him to brush off failure and pick himself up with renewed energy. She gave him the freedom to choose everything – from his school to his friends, and goals. Ajay talks poignantly about how his mother motivated him to complete the BRM 1000 km, which is a long-distance, free-paced cycling event. He wishes she was alive today to cherish the successful journey so far for him.
On honouring mothers: "I don't think moms expect gratitude. They only want us to succeed in our lives for ourselves. That'll be the greatest honour to any parent."
'I value my mother's wise words'
Aditya Sharma, 15, professional cyclist, triathlete and India's youngest half Ironman, says his mother has always been by his side. She motivates him to train hard and helps him in the recovery process. Aditya loves the attention his mother showers on him when he performs well. He also eagerly looks forward to his favourite food his mother prepares for him on event days. He values his mother's wise words and has learnt to look at failure as a lesson to learn from. Aditya likes irritating his mother and "pranking her. And, those moments are very precious".
Mother's Day message: "Thank you for being with us when times are tough and helping us stay grounded during happy times."
On honouring mothers: "Mothers are the best people children will ever meet. So, love them all you can."
#LoveYouMom: "Thank you for being with me always. You are the best chef, manager and everything else that a person can possibly be. I love you, Mom!"

'Her willpower is a constant source of inspiration'
Akilesh Subramanian Kumar, 25, musician and resident artist at Wandering Artist, says his mother did not choose art as a career path for him, yet she was always supportive. Akilesh knows his mother is proud of him. He values the fact that she gave him his free space. He loves her cheerful nature and looks up to her for patience. Her willpower is a constant source of motivation for him. She taught him empathy and encouraged him to learn from his mistakes.
Mother's Day message: "Patience is a virtue."
On honouring mothers: "It is important to show her you care."
#LoveYouMom: "You're my most favourite woman in the world. We'll stick together through thick or thin. And, you're the best cook in the world! I love you!"
'I miss my mother'
Rahul Richard, 29, First Navigating Officer at Anglo Eastern Ship Management, says his mother did not want him to sail because she had a brother who spent more time on the ship, away from the family. But, when Rahul made up his mind to become a sailor, his mother stood by his decision though she knew that she would miss him. Soon, his grades at college and his appraisals at work made her happy and she pushed him to do better. Rahul misses his mother now that she is no more. He thinks ruefully of how she used to cheer him up when he was down.
Mother's Day message: "Every mother loves her child; her child is her world."
On honouring mothers: "It is definitely important to honour your mother at every given opportunity."
'Made of stronger stuff'
Meenu Srinivasan, 23, Theatre Trainer at Crea Shakthi, says her mother was always of the opinion that Meenu knew what she wanted and her mother trusted her to do it well. She let her fend for herself and gave her all the moral support she needed. Her mother was always proud of her and showered her with just the right amount of praise when she did well. When she met with failure, she taught her to look out for better days. Notwithstanding the usual concerns mothers have, Meenu knows her mother gave her the space she required. The trust her mother had in her helped her succeed and achieve her ambition to direct and produce plays. Meenu says her mother always taught her to do what she thought was right.
Mother's Day message: "Dear Mothers, you are fabulous, every single one of you – dazzling the world with awesomeness and love."
#LoveYouMom: "Amma, thank you for picking me up every single time I fell on my face and regretted my existence, and for reminding me I have a purpose."
These youngsters are achievers because they had the right attitude. Their will to succeed was propelled by the inspiration from their mothers who motivated them and let them retain their individuality.

Rick White from 180Biz will present a 1-hour seminar on the cruise TO INSTALL OR NOT TO INSTALL Inevitably a customer or potential customer will compare your parts pricing to AutoZone or a similar retail parts store. The customer can get parts "cheaper" than you can, right? It's an uncomfortable situation for many auto repair shop owners. Under pressure you feel compelled to use parts supplied by the customer. Shop owners and managers are often unaware of the pitfalls and liabilities when they agree to install these very same parts. Some work is better than no work – right? In this seminar, I examine those pitfalls. I'll offer alternatives to help you make the right decision "to install or not to install" with more of the facts. Get that work without installing someone else's parts.

Good morning and bon appetit to those who have some food on their tables.
I would like first of all to thank the organisers of this conference for the invitation. I understand this is a young forum, but it managed already in a few years to acquire importance, popularity and reputation. It is indeed very appropriate that we get together more often than in the past to discuss where we are in international relations and which way we are heading.
On 15 January 2020 the Embassy held a commemorative ceremony of taking of soil from the war graves of Soviet soldiers who died in War War II, which took place at Stonefall Cemetery in Harrogate. The ceremony is a part of the "Road of Remembrance" worlwide project set up by Russian Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Foreign Affairs within the celebrations of the 75th Victory Day anniversary.
Question: What areas of cooperation will be in the focus of your visit to India and will determine the strategic partnership between the two states in 2020? What do you think about the Indian-Russian cooperation in general?
Sergey Lavrov: This is a special year for our countries. Twenty years ago, India and Russia signed the Declaration on Strategic Partnership.
Polish Ambassador Rzegocki, in his letter published on 9 January, proposes to "question the USSR's status as liberator", claiming that Motolov-Ribbentrop pact "sparked the war and a double totalitarian invasion of Poland". Let me suggest to my Polish colleague to look deeper into the history of that time.
Question: Since the end of the Cold War and the inception of the multipolar world order, you have spent many years engaged in international affairs and geopolitics. Are there any peculiarities in the relations between Sri Lanka and Russia originating in that period?
Sergey Lavrov: The relations between our states have always been intrinsically valuable and independent from international developments. They have always been and continue to be based on the principles of equality, trust, mutual respect and consideration of one another's interests. The peculiarities specific to certain periods of history are of marginal significance, since they do not affect the inviolability of the bonds of friendship uniting our peoples.
Ladies and gentlemen, Today, in addition to the launch ceremony for the TurkStream gas pipeline that you witnessed, President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan held intensive bilateral talks. They adopted a joint statement following the talks. I would like to highlight several points of this document.
On January 4, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had a telephone conversation with Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China Wang Yi.
On January 4, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had a telephone conversation with Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran Mohammad Javad Zarif, at the latter's initiative.
On January 4, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had a telephone conversation with Foreign Minister of Turkey Mevlut Cavusoglu.
We were concerned to learn of the death of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Commander Major General Qasem Soleimani in a US military strike on Baghdad airport.
