Even before the ITV programme had really started Ruth, 56, was heard lambasting Eamonn, 57, for chewing too loudly while eating.
"Ugh! Ugh! Stop that horrible noise! You know what you're doing, you doing that to me on purpose now because you know about that thing in the paper today," she was heard telling her co-star.
Eamonn gave her a cheeky smile as he said: "People at home – sorry for speaking with my mouth full…"
"Exactly! Stop doing that!" Ruth interrupted as she berated him. She continued: "Because you know we've talked on here before about how I'm very easily irritated by certain noises – like my husband breathing or eating noisily."
Ruth Langsford was infuriated by Eamonn Holmes on This Morning
"I was just eating!" Eamonn responded as he attempted to defend himself from his wife's scathing critique.
It appeared that Eamonn's annoying habit got a bit too much for Ruth and later on she actually gagged him with a piece of gaffer tape.
The move seemed to please Ruth greatly as Eamonn sat on the This Morning sofa silently just looking at her.

However, Eamonn was purposely chewing loudly so that the hosting duo could talk about a new study looking at Misphonia, which found certain sounds can generate an "excessive" emotional response from some people.
Scientists carried out brain scans on patients and discovered that sounds such as eating or breathing generate a big emotional response beyond just a simple dislike.
"It's a condition!" Ruth told Eamonn, who responded: "You don't need to tell me! I discovered it before they did!"

The biggest blunders on TV: From Ed Balls almost dropping his dance partner on Strictly to Holly Willoughby caught on her phone
Eamonn Holmes chews loudly on This Morning
Ruth informed the audience: "It is a genuine brain abnormality. There's something going on at the front of your brain.
"It says we experience increased heart rate or get sweaty when we're confronted by those trigger sounds ."
Eamonn is not the first ITV Daytime presenter to get gagged by a co-host. Only last week Piers Morgan was left speechless when his Good Morning Britain colleague covered his mouth in some tape when they were at the National Television Awards.
This Morning airs weekdays on ITV at 10.30am.

FX Sets Premiere Date for Second Season of "Legion"
Season 2 of the Acclaimed Series from Creator and Executive Producer
Noah Hawley Returns to FX on Tuesday, April 3 at 10 PM ET/PT
Photo Credit Matthias Clamer-FX
LOS ANGELES, February 6, 2018 - Legion, the acclaimed drama series from creator and executive producer Noah Hawley, will return to FX on Tuesday, April 3 at 10 PM ET/PT.
Based on the Marvel Comics by Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz, Legion is the story of "David Haller" (Dan Stevens), a man who believed himself to be schizophrenic only to discover that he may actually be the most powerful mutant the world has ever seen.
From childhood, David shuffled from one psychiatric institution to the next until, in his early 30s, he met and fell in love with a beautiful and troubled fellow patient named "Syd" (Rachel Keller). After Syd and David shared a startling encounter, he was forced to confront the shocking possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees may actually be real. Syd led David to "Melanie Bird" (Jean Smart), a demanding but nurturing therapist who heads a team of specialists - "Ptonomy" (Jeremie Harris), "Kerry" (Amber Midthunder) and "Cary" (Bill Irwin) - each of whom possesses a unique and extraordinary gift. Together, they helped David to recognize and harness his hidden powers. With their support, David finally unlocked a deeply suppressed truth - he had been haunted his entire life by a malicious parasite of unimaginable power. Known as the "Shadow King," this malevolent creature appeared in the form of David's friend "Lenny" (Aubrey Plaza), but is actually an ancient being named "Amahl Farouk."
In an epic showdown, David and his friends battled his demon, ultimately forcing it from David's body. Unfortunately, Farouk found a new host - Melanie's husband "Oliver Bird" (Jemaine Clement) - and escaped. Just when they thought they'd earned a moment of respite, a mysterious orb appeared and took David away to an unknown place. With David and Oliver missing and Farouk on the loose, the team forms an unlikely alliance with their former enemy "Clark" (Hamish Linklater) and his well-funded government organization, Division III. Meanwhile, Amahl Farouk (Navid Negahban) is on a new path to attaining infinite and world-ending power.
Noah Hawley serves as Executive Producer, along with John Cameron, Lauren Shuler Donner, Simon Kinberg, Jeph Loeb and Jim Chory. Legion is the latest project from Hawley and Cameron, two of the executive producers of the Emmy(R) and Golden Globe(R)-winning FX anthology series Fargo. Legion is produced by FX Productions and Marvel Television, with FXP handling the physical production.

CMA expands its exposition portfolio with the acquisition of Hong Kong International Education Expo
Riding on the booming education sector, The Chinese Manufacturers' Association of Hong Kong (CMA) announced today that it will take on the organisation of the long-established Hong Kong International Education Expo (Expo).
Previously organised by another organiser for over 10 years, the Expo has become one of the most popular higher education events in the city with many local and international institutions and consulting agencies attending it every year. It provides a platform for students and their parents to explore course options and discuss with programme providers. The Expo, organised by CMA, will take place in May and July 2019 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
CMA President Dr Dennis Ng said the initiative is in line with the association's commitment to education and talent development. He said, "Our work in promoting higher education is becoming more important today, with the impact of new technologies giving rise to a rapidly changing and increasingly complex society. The government invests heavily in education and the new subsidy for students pursuing accredited self-financed undergraduate degrees, for instance, will broaden students' choices for further study. I believe that the Expo will be helpful for them to opt for suitable courses."
While education is the key element of the Expo, CMA is considering to invite organisations of different sizes and industries to take part. "Leveraging our strong industry network, we hope to offer the opportunities for jobseekers to connect with employers and explore career options," said President Dr Ng. A wide range of activities including presentations by representatives of different institutions, sharing insights on latest educational and career opportunities and trends will also be staged during the Expo.
Having decades of experience of organising large-scale products expositions, including the time-honored Hong Kong Brands and Products Expo, Chairman of CMA Exhibition Services Limited cum CMA Vice President Marvin Hsu said the CMA is ready to make bold moves, "We had organised more than nearly 100 expositions in the past 10 years and it is time to challenge the status quo by running expositions of different nature. In addition to developing new topics and themes, we are also interested in acquiring existing fairs which are popular and have potential for growth," he said.
CMA is now inviting exhibitors to participate in the Expo. The event details are appended below:
The 25th Hong Kong International Education Expo
Date: 18 and 19 May, 2019 (Saturday and Sunday)
Time: 1130-1830
Venue: Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, Hall 1B
The 26th Hong Kong International Education and Careers Expo
Date: 6 and 7 July, 2019 (Saturday and Sunday)
Time: 1130-1830

As easy as it gets, this is a great, hands-off, and foolproof method for making slow cooker spaghetti squash. Use the slow-cooked squash for salads, as a veggie swap for pasta noodles, or as a simple fall side dish.
How to Make It
Step 1
Pierce squash a few times with a fork or knife. Place squash in slow cooker, and add water. Cover and cook on LOW 6 hours.
Step 2
Remove squash from slow cooker, and cool slighlty. Cut squash in half lengthwise; scoop out and discard seeds. Scrape squash flesh with a fork to remove squash strands. Simply serve with salt, black pepper, butter, and cheese, or other desired toppings.

Abdullah Saeed, host of "Bong Appétit," says he will no longer produce content for Vice Media in wake of the sexual harassment allegations against the company, and also appears to be upset over the company using his show as a justification for forcing employees to sign an unconventional workplace agreement.
Saeed made the announcement Wednesday night, saying "In light of recent reports, I will no longer produce content with Vice. My purpose is to explore cannabis and spread knowledge about substances that enlighten us, and I'll continue that journey with likeminded entities."
He's referring to a Daily Beast article alleging Vice Media is a toxic environment rampant with sexual harassment. It also claimed employees for the company are required to sign a "non-traditional workplace agreement," which acknowledges employees may be exposed to highly controversial content which may be sexual, provocative or controversial.
Since the news broke, Vice said they have "immediately begun an investigation into this matter." They also said, "The nature of Vice's content runs the gamut, from travelogues and news series to more provocative programming like our shows exploring drug culture, Weediquette and Bong Appétit. A non-traditional workplace agreement is often used by companies to certify employees' comfort with content that could be considered edgy."
In response, Saeed says "I don't believe cannabis is a drug, nor would I characterize its study and advocacy as provocative."
Saeed is the first major Vice personality to publicly respond since the news broke, and it's also unclear how that will impact "Bong Appétit."

«The landscape around Guangxi is simply breathtaking»
In the past 12 months, Olivier Senn has travelled to East Asia four times to visit Guangxi. Wanda Sports Group, the Chinese owners of Infront Sports & Media, gave the Tour de Suisse (TdS) organisers at InfrontRingier a very special mandate over a year ago. «Together with the UCI, the Wanda Group is seeking to enhance the status of cycle racing in China», explains Senn. «The Group is also using the Tour of Guangxi to help draw global attention to the breathtaking landscape of the Guangxi region.» For the TdS organisers, this job offers an exciting challenge: «This is not least due to the fact that we are facing a number of basic issues that have to be resolved. In turn, we are actively scrutinising our own organisation with every decision we make.»
Transferring knowledge to China
For the inaugural edition, the TdS organisers are putting Sports Director David Loosli and several of their long-standing race managers on the project. «As many of the team have professional commitments elsewhere, they have to take extra holiday.» The TdS organisers are providing their Chinese counterparts with advice and assistance on site. «The aim is for the local organisers to be able to independently coordinate and hold the race according to UCI standards in a couple of years' time», explains Senn. This exchange of knowledge is an intensive process. With just a few weeks to go, Senn is phoning and emailing the Chinese virtually every day. The experienced drivers in the TdS race management team are also set to make their way to China. «For me, it is essential for our instructions to be understood during the race», emphasises Senn. «If we were to use foreign drivers, we would almost certainly face a number of communication issues.»
700 km of new streets through fantastic scenery
The autonomous region of Guangxi is located at sea level in the far south-west of the country, on the border with Vietnam. With a tropical climate, it is the largest tourist region in China. «The streets and rivers are all extremely clean», says Senn, cutting through any potential prejudices. «I was very happily surprised. During each visit, I felt extremely safe and in good hands at all times.»
The route is set to take place over six stages and passes through predominantly flat and hilly terrain. «A single mountain-top finish at a monastery features an ascent of around 400 metres», reveals Senn. «This race is ideal for riders in the mould of Peter Sagan and Michael Matthews.»
Everything seems possible for the inaugural edition of the Tour of Guangxi. For example, just under 700 kilometres of new roads will be paved and around 30,000 façades renovated especially for the race. «It will provide a major boost to this tourist region.» During his visits to the Guangxi, Senn was amazed time and again by how quickly things are able to get done in China.
The race will not feature time trials, instead consisting of circuits. Nanning, with more than seven million inhabitants, is the capital of the region. One of the stages will finish there, another – an urban circuit – will be held in the city a day later, and a third will start from the capital. The urban circuit, which has to be completed four times by the riders, takes in the most beautiful parts of the metropolis and ends with a seven-kilometre-long straight that cuts right through the city. In total, 16 of the 18 UCI WorldTour teams will compete in the Tour of Guangxi. Of the major teams, only AG2R and FDJ will not be present. Eurosport will broadcast the stages live each day.
19 Oct Stage 1 – Beihai › Beihai (109.6 km)
20 Oct Stage 2 – Qinzhou › Nanning (160 km)
21 Oct Stage 3 – Nanning › Nanning (128.8 km)
22 Oct Stage 4 – Nanning › Mashan Nongla Scenic Spot (154 km)
23 Oct Stage 5 – Liuzhou › Guilin (217 km)
24 Oct Stage 6 – Guilin › Guilin (173 km)

Severe threats (1998 – 2002)
Threats to community office-bearer
Saddowala, district Narowal; January 5, 2002: Mr. Mumtaz Ahmad Bhatti, a school teacher, is the president of local Ahmadiyya community in Saddowala. Here two Ahmadis were murdered
earlier on September 11, 2001 by religious terrorists. Mr Bhatti received threats to his life by post. The terrorist was bold enough to write his name. Translation of his letter is given below:
Mirzai teacher,
We learnt from father of Mehfooz that you people went to Rabwah. I have told him to rest assured that we will kill all four of you brothers. Our both crusaders will be released.
Teacher, I tell you that we are Mujahideen; whatever we say, we accomplish. We had told the man from Ghatialian that he would not live to attend the next court hearing; and then everyone saw that he did not. (This refers to another Ahmadi who was murdered after warning).
You people may go anywhere in Pakistan, we shall not rest till you are done away with as until you are not finished with, our crusader will not be released. Teacher, I have conveyed you what I needed to convey.
I am,
A Mujahid of Islam
Abu Zar, alias Lala.
This letter caused great consternation in the targeted family. Noor Mohammad, a terrorist closely linked with Abu Zar had been released by the court on bail, while efforts were going on for the release of the second detainee. The four brothers felt that their lives were gravely threatened.
Mischief at Kanj Road
Kanj Road, district Narowal: Dr Riaz, an Ahmadi of Kanj Road reported in January that he faced violence from one Tufail Khan, a religious extremists. Tufail, accompanied by vandals created a nasty scene at Dr Riaz's house and hurled threats that he will murder him. A few days later, he intercepted Dr Zafar, a son of Dr Riaz and beat him up. Dr Zafar was rescued by some of those present nearby. Tufail Khan has continued with his threatening behavior. His targeted Ahmadis remained worried.
Threat to the life of Ahmadi elder
Khanewal: Mr Naeemullah Khan, President of the Ahmadiyya Community, district Khanewal received the following threat in a letter in June:
" Qadiani President of Khanewal,
– It was a long wait before we got the permission concerning you.
– The hour is now at hand; we are going to meet you soon.
– …………………
– Be mindful of your movements from today onward. We shall meet you anytime in the open. Finalize your affairs at the earliest. In case you undertake any reaction, you will see the slaughter of your children with your own eyes.
– Wait and see when the bell will ring. We shall call you a day before the encounter. Wait for that.
After due deliberations, Ahmadi elders of the city advised Mr Khan to leave the city for a while along with his family. A few days later, a non-Ahmadi neighbor, Sheikh Nazir received a threatening letter. The letter accused him of having social relations with Mr Khan. It mentioned that Khan had left for Rawalpindi where he was being tracked by two of their colleagues who will target his car any day. Sheikh Nazir was advised to keep away from Khan, otherwise to remain ready to face consequences. "The bullet cannot distinguish between a Muslim and an infidel", they wrote.
Also at Mirpur Khas
Mirpur Khas (Sind): Dr Abdul Halim, a local Ahmadi, received the following note at his clinic in June:
"Message to a Qadiani,
I am leaving behind a newspaper article, "True story of a false prophet"…..Please read it at least three times…….you ought to recant, and also guide your kith and kin to the right path. You people assemble in your Centre/place of worship every Friday. Be on guard, as the Khatame Nabuwwat (zealots) are busy finalizing their devastating plan, and Inshallah they will surely succeed.
You might wonder as to my identity. I am a humble worker of Sipah Sahaba. The police are already looking for me – why should'nt I die having accomplished something worthwhile. I am eighteen years old."
Threats in District Badin
Tando Bago, district Badin: A threat letter jointly addressed to the following was received by Mr Salim, an Ahmadi of Tando Bhago:
Rafiq; Ch. Salim; Khizar; Mir Arbab, Haji Ranjaro; Darya Khan
The letter's excerpts are translated below:
Mir Arbab, come over quickly to Shadi Larje; you need not bring along your coffin…..As for Darya Khan, we shall tie up his legs before pouring bullets into him…..We shall spare none of those listed below…..We, shall begin initially with Chaudhry (Salim) Mirza……..We shall destroy entire Shadi Larje. etc, etc.
Ahmadis and their mosque threatened
Rahim Yar Khan: This city is a violent place, as for Ahmadis are concerned. Here, religious extremists murdered a well-known Ahmadi doctor, Dr Rashid Ahmad, in November 2002. Recently they vandalized the local Ahmadiyya mosque. Miscreants threw paint at the gate of the mosque in an effort to damage the signboard showing that it was Ahmadiyya place of worship. Subsequently, they sent a note of great threat to the worshippers. Its translation is given below:
Dogs, If you persist in naming your house of disbelief in similar words to those of Muslims', and if you do not shift it away from the vicinity of our mosque by Eid-ul-Adha, our volunteers will treat you and your house of disbelief the same way as your dog Dr Rashid.
Dogs, we are fans of the Prophet, and
Quran is our constitution
The Prophet is our leader
Jihad is our way
And Martyrdom is our wish.
We are slaves, we are slaves, we are slaves of the Prophet. We accept even death in our submission to the Prophet. Issued by: The Fans of the Prophet
Threats to life and property
'Threats' are an age-old tool to discomfort a target. He never knows if the threat is empty or real. The uncertainty makes him restless and worried. Ahmadis often receive threats, some of these have resulted in murders in the past. Threats are usually reported to authorities who rarely follow them up with investigation or action. Addressees of threats are often deeply affected by them; they have to take precautionary measures in addition to living with fear and uncertainty of their threatened situation.
Open invitation to sectarian cleansing
Goth Mehr Boota, Mirpur Khas, Sind: In the month of February, extremist religious elements distributed a highly incendiary anti-Ahmadiyya leaflet in which Muslims were urged to undertake widespread killing of Ahmadis. The administration took no disciplinary against the instigators. Translation of the original is given below:
So said the Guide – 786 – No Prophet after me
Operation Qadianiyyat
Self-respecting Muslims of Goth Mehr Boota- RISE
As you know, Qadianis are residing in your village since long. They now openly preach their creed. They are our enemies and of our faith; they have no right to live.
O sleeping youth of the Muslim Umma- Rise and protect your Religion, and cleanse your village of the cursed presence of Qadianis (Protectors of Faith)
Extremists issue ultimatum
Chak 23 DNB, District Bahawalpur: In the month of March members of the local Ahmadiyya Community received a Warning leaflet. Its original is placed here while the translation is given below:
WORNING (sic) Information
ALL Ahmadis are warned that:
You are to vacate this village by March 12, otherwise the whole settlement will go up in smoke. We have already received many complaints about you people. Now you even preach. This time your settlement will be destroyed, no matter what. It has been fully established that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was a liar, cunning and an agent of the British. And all you people, according to Islam, must be put to death. Muslim brothers who reside in this Mirzai village are advised not to come out of their homes at 11.30 p.m. on March 12 so that none of our brothers is hurt by the rain of bullets and mortar shells. Not all the soldiers of Islam have yet become martyrs; some are still alive. Someday, we are going to Inshallah destroy RABWAH as well the same way as your village.
Ahmadis reported the threat to the police who took some protective measures. The terrorists did not show up on March 12. However, they wrote a few letters to Ahmadis who received them by post on March 14. The village chief, Mohammad Jamil (a non-Ahmadi) also received a letter; it contained the following instructions: (Translation)
"Numberdar Mohammad Jamil is directed that he is to prepare a list of all Ahmadis and post the same at his gate or at school or at village notice board. Village folk are to be advised the following so that our (Muslim) brothers remain safe; when they hear the shots they should adopt the following security measures:
1. No Brother is to come out. Those who are out should please go back in.
2. Take special care of children who should not come out in the courtyards.
3. Stuff the ears of younger children with cotton.
4. The sick should sip water at frequent intervals. They should also stuff their ears with cotton.
5. If a sister feels a heart problem or fainting, she should drink water and stay in bed.
By adapting these measures you can ensure your own safety and that of your children.
As for Ahmadis, they were told the following:
WORNING (sic) AND LAST WORNING
All Ahmadis were warned earlier but they took no notice. During our visit, we noted that our Muslim brothers have their houses adjacent to Ahmadis'. Destruction of Ahmadis' houses could result in damage to Muslims' houses, therefore we have decided to make changes to our plans of the Night Operation. Now, we plan to make surprise attacks at night. The so-called Ahmadi mosques will be demolished, Inshallah. We shall be armed with dynamite, gun powder, anti-personnel bombs, hand grenades, mortars, AK 74s and klashenkofs. We shall all be armed with all these weapons. We are telling all this, so that none should complain of the surprise and death without warning. Although, a single bullet should suffice for an Ahmadi, we intend to shoot and follow it up with slaughter.
Ahmadis, Just consider:
Till when the police and the Army will protect you? We are not afraid of such so-called police and army that provide protection to infidels.
Wait for the Islamic Mujahideen. Wait for the commandos that have been specially trained against Ahmadis. Be ready to die. We shall, Inshallah, come any night. Wait for the wrath of God. Our next target is Rabwah, Inshallah.
Ahmadis reported the threats to authorities, provided them copies of the letters received, and requested for protection. Naturally, they were very worried.
Murder plan comes to light
District Toba Tek Singh: The SHO of police station Gojrah sent for Mr Muhammad Sharif, an Ahmadi of village Chak 281/G.B. on March 20, 2001 and formally informed him that he faced a probability of murder by an extremist organization. Sharif is a goldsmith by profession and a well-known Ahmadi in the area. The SHO told him that a 'proclaimed offender' Tanwir, alias Tanni had been apprehended, and he had admitted that he intended to murder him (Sharif).
A few days later, on April 2, 2001 Mr Sarwar, the inspector incharge of the police post conveyed to Mr Sharif that as the organization to which Tanni belonged (Sipah Sahaba) planned to murder him, he should take necessary security measures, arrange a guard and protect himself. The police issued a Report No. 3 dated Daily Log, March 20, 2001 to show that appropriate action had been taken.
Threat to life
Skardu; August 2001: Mr. Tariq Alvi, an Ahmadi youth, is an employee at Skardu Airport. He is the only Ahmadi working there, and a few Ahmadi-bashers have come to know of his identity. They are now after his blood and have made life extremely difficult for him. They have threatened him of murder unless he recants his religious affiliation. They burnt a book and reported to the police that Tariq had set the Holy Quran on fire. It was with great difficulty that Tariq escaped being charged under PPC 295B, for which the prescribed sentence is life imprisonment. The airport authorities know about his situation and have provided him a measure of support, but in case the activists become serious to do him physical harm, there is little the authorities could do to save him. The police, however, is in a position to take preventive action, but they showed little interest.
Mr. Tariq and his wife got very worried about his well-being, even life.
Ahmadis denied a normal life
Sargodha; August 2001: Ahmadis in Sargodha town and district continue to face great difficulties at the hands of fundamentalist elements. Mr. Abdul Aziz, a young man decided to join the Ahmadiyya Community. This infuriated the local mullah and his credulous followers. On August 15, approximately 40 of them assembled together and in a violent mood proceeded to Mr. Aziz`s residence. Aziz`s brother responded to the doorbell, and returned inside to inform Aziz of the callers and their ugly disposition. Aziz decided to jump over the rear wall of the house to escape. The mob stayed on at the location of his house for almost three hours and dealt harshly with Aziz`s father. They urged him to stop all dealings with his son who had turned an infidel. A few of them carried out a forced search of the house to locate their target. They issued a threat to his father that if Aziz does not recant on oath, they will register a criminal case against him with the police.
Another Ahmadi, Atiq Ahmad who resides in the same locality was also issued threats. He decided to go away to his home village to avoid harm.
Another Ahmadi young man, the son of Rana Abdul Ghaffar Khan, was also issued a threat by extremists.
Threat to Ahmadiyya mosques
District Bahawalpur: Two mullas visited village Chak Murad No 161 on January 10, 2001. They arrived on a Suzuki jeep Regd. No: BRG-992. They visited the local Ahmadiyya mosque and sent for the Ahmadi imam. They told him to demolish the minaret and the niche of the mosque within two days or face consequences. They threatened that the demolition would otherwise be undertaken by mullas themselves. One of the mullas was Muhammad Ishaque from Bahawalpur and the other one had come from Hasilpur. Two days later, one of them delivered Friday sermon in the village and spoke spitting fire against Ahmadis, and spread hatred. These mullas visited Chak 192/Murad and 183/Murad subsequently and repeated their performance and threats there as well.
Ahmadis felt very disturbed and contacted the authorities personally as well as in writing, for whatever it was worth.
A dreadful warning
Lahore: Ahmadis, all over Pakistan, continue to receive threatening calls and letters. Threat-launchers consider themselves immune from any criminal proceedings against them by authorities. Their assumption is based on firm ground; they have never been taken to task even when they boldly print their addresses on threatening leaflets and letters. Such a letter was sent recently by the Office of Anti-Qadiani Movement, Allama Iqbal Town Lahore, to the Ahmadiyya Community, Rehmanpura, Lahore. Some excerpts:
Evil and Cursed Qadianis,
May harm come your way, and God's curse and punishment fall upon you.
…………By God, your entire network and your individuals are on our hit list. One bomber's grenade will suffice to obliterate you……………the one you believe to be a Prophet of God was the worst dog in universe.
…………God has given us sufficient power to destroy you all within one hour. We shall turn you into hashed meat………
By God's grace, our agents are always present in your meetings, programs and conferences. We know your movements by the minute……We know where your children go for schooling……We know your plans and evil designs…………We know you inside out……..Now we say: Well if you court death, go your way; but do bear in mind your awful and dark ending when you will be riddled with bullets and your children will be made orphans, and your houses will be razed to the ground by grenade attacks. If you care for your well-being, you have a choice – accept Islam or flee from this neighborhood………..We shall prove ourselves to be the stalwarts that your seven generations will remember us. We shall Inshallah take such action that no trace will be left of you. We shall raid your locations in a manner that even Jews, your patrons, will tremble…………..We shall prove ourselves so valiant as to dispatch you in no time. You will be buried alive.
We have proven our military grit in the face of powerful enemies – you are nothing; no, you are less than the dirt on our soles. God is with us. We are supported by Lashkar Taiba, Jaish Muhammad, Harkat ul Mujahideen, Harkat ul Jihad Islami, Jamiatul Mujahideen, Al Badr Mujahideen, Tehrik al Mujahideen, Al Barq Mujahideen, Gorilla Action Tanzeem, Sipah Sahaba, Lashkar Jhangvi, JUI, Khatme Nabuwwat, International Khatme Nabuwwat Tehrik.
SOBs, Pimps: We have written you before also, but you have not desisted. Soon, misfortune will strike you and you will suffer a major calamity………..In the near future, Inshaallah, you will be burnt alive. DANGER
Severer insults have not been included in excerpts give above.
Another 'Worning'
District Bahawalpur; November 2001: Religious extremists, subsequent to the massacre in the Bahawalpur Church, are now threatening Ahmadis of the same dose of terrorism. Ahmadis of Chak No 23/DNB, District Bahawalpur, received a threatening note in Urdu by mail, during November. Its translation is given below:
WORNING (sic)
All Ahmadis are hereby told to vacate this village, otherwise they will meet the same fate as the other religious group in Bahawalpur. All Ahmadis have been warned twice before as well but they have failed to respond. We will act this time. It is confirmed that you people are liars and cheats. Muslim brethren residing in the village inhabited by Mirzais are requested not to come out when bullets are being sprayed lest they get hurt. Don't take it as a mere threat that nothing will happen. Your days have been numbered. After November 9.
Threats to life
Tando Ghulam Ali, District Badin: Ahmadi–bashers in District Badin started sending threatening notes to leading Ahmadis of Tando Ghulam Ali in January. Three Ahmadis received death threats during the month. The notes were signed under a pseudo name. It appears that the plot was orchestrated by a superior who is well-versed in English, because the Notes in Urdu carry additional brief notation in English: (Warning – 3 days only). The threats were menacingly worded. One of the Notes is translated below:
Munawwar, Qadiani Infidel,
You should carefully note that if you want to join Muhammadan Community, the door is open. This door of Muhammad was never shut, nor it ever will shut. However, if you decide to die as an Ahmadi infidel, it is up to you. You are given three days to accept Islam. Thus, you will enter the paradise, and we shall gain salvation; otherwise your death will be our salvation. By God's command, you will be dispatched to hell.
(Warning 3 Days) Signature
Allaho Tiger
WORNING (sic)
Threat of Murder
Naseer Ahmad Waraich an Ahmadi teacher at Dera Ghazi Khan received a phone call on February 23, 2001 at 20:25. The caller, who attempted a change in his natural voice, threatened Mr Waraich with murder. When Mr Waraich hung up, the caller called again. Mr Wariach asked a colleague to reply, but the caller, realizing that it was someone else this time, decided to keep quiet and said nothing.
'Threats' are a favorite tool of religious extremists. It is effective even when not converted to action. The victim remains ever apprehensive against the eventuality of the threat being carried out. Ahmadis are made to live in fear through threats; as it is not so rare that these are put into effect. Till today 56 Ahmadis have been murdered only for their faith. Some stories regarding threats are given here.
Precarious Living in Bahawalpur
Only three Ahmadi households exist in Chak 22, District Bahawalpur, but the militants of Sipah Sahaba have noticed them and are making strenuous efforts to intimidate and dislodge them. Sometimes back, an armed terrorist of Sipah Sahabah visited the residence of Mr Faiz Ahmad, Ahmadi, entered his house and conveyed to the residents that Maulana Azam Tariq, the Amir of SSP had ordered the murder of Mohammad Sharif, the local Ahmadi President and his nephew, Zafrullah Khan. He also threatened that Ahmadi houses will be put to torch. He used slander and blasphemy against the holy personages of Ahmadiyya Community. This uninvited and unwelcome guest would not leave and stayed for over two hours. He then left, and threatened to come again. Two days later, he revisited. He was armed as before. He intimated that he had already murdered 3 or 4 persons. He demanded that their annex be made available to them for an open general meeting to be addressed by their maulvis. He threatened that in case Ahmadis did not recant, they would be murdered.
Local Ahmadis informed their community officials at Bahawalpur of the ugly visits. Subsequently, the DIG, the DSP and the Inspector of police were informed. The police advised the Ahmadis to arrange armed escorts for self-protection and to regularly shift their sleeping locations.
These Ahmadi families were understandably very worried.
Violence Preached from the Mosques
At Gulistan Jauhar, Karachi, Imams of the mosque at City Villas and the mosque at Gul Houses embarked upon active and violent propaganda against Ahmadis. On May 5, the former declared that Qadianis were liable to be killed for their beliefs, as also those who joined them. The latter urged his flock on May 6 to take up Jihad against Ahmadis and declared that in near future a few funerals will come forth from Decent Houses (where Ahmadis reside).
A Threat in Writing
Dr Noor A Fazli, an Ahmadi homeopath of Nawan Kot, district Sheikhupura, received the following threat in Urdu script:
'Dr Fazli, you have become an apostate; no salvation thus is available to you. And your apostasy is of little loss to us; you are a cancer that is spreading far and wide. Remember, we shall cleanse the area soon of your foul presence. We are keeping a track of you, and you will disappear soon. Only God knows, which Muslim Ghazi is going to get this credit.
' If cancer appears on a body, it becomes necessary to chop off that part to save the body. If you do not want to die a dog's death, you will have to recant from Mirzaism and join Islam. Only then we shall spare you, otherwise we shall dispatch even your children to hell. You have gone blind in your greed for wealth.
' We swear by God that undoubtedly you are like a cancer. And cancer is an incurable disease. According to the Islamic procedure, we give you three days to reconsider and recant, otherwise dogs will eat your corpse and the earth will reject it. We shall burn your home……….'.
The threat could be real or otherwise, but few would like to face this haunting uncertainty.
The Rogues of Jhelum
A bearded man approached Sethi Tauseef Ahmad (Ahmadi) at his shop in Peco Centre on July 15, 2000 and told him rather firmly, "The Kalima (Islamic creed) and other Arabic writings displayed in your shops incite me. Take them off or you will be yourself responsible for the consequences." Having conveyed his threat, he left. After about half an hour, he came again accompanied by another bearded fellow. The two allowed the Ahmadi 30 minutes to do as directed. He returned an hour later accompanied by another person and ordered Mr Ahmad that nothing concerning Allah should be found written in his shop. Mr Ahmad took off the displays and handed them over to the proprietor of Waqas Jewelers, who took them and displayed them in his own shop. The intruders spoke to a few other traders in the Center also and told them to have nothing to do with Ahmad. Haji Iqbal, who is the owner of the Center, did not like their intrusion and had an argument with them. Five days later, someone stole Mr Ahmad's bicycle from the Center. Sometimes back the owner of the Center had got the office occupied by the Sipah Sahaba vacated from the Center. This could be a reaction to that move.
Instigation to Violence
An anti-Ahmadiyya poster was pasted on walls in Kasran, District Attock. Its language was highly provocative and arousing. It mentioned:
"…….Qadianism is a disease whose cure is only death. PPC 295C of the anti-Ahmadiyya Ordinance (stet) makes it obligatory that all Mirzais must be killed. If we cannot murder them, we can at least impose a complete boycott against them…. We shall destroy all their dish antennas with our hands…. Let's all unite and eliminate the evil of Mirzais from our entire area."
Ahmadis had to take care and step up their security measures in response to this threat of violence.
An Ahmadi on Hit List
Mr. Ijaz Mahmood, an office-holder of the local Ahmadi Community at Mandi Bahauddin was conveyed on telephone in November 2000 that he was on the hit-list of anti-Ahmadi activists. The caller stated that this was no empty threat; murder would definitely take place. The police were informed who investigated the matter actively. A few days later the extremists called again and used the same language. The police offered help in providing guards. It was politely refused, as it could be more of a problem than real help.
Freedom of Religion !
Mr Ghulam Rasul Alavi, a teacher of Drot, District Chakwal now working at Wah, joined Ahmadiyyat in 1995. His family continues to live in the ancestral village of Drot. In the month of August 2000, Mr Alavi went to his village to meet his family. The village chief came to know of his presence and sent a dozen men to threaten him. They told him that that was the last night he could spend at home. "Do not be seen here after 7 a.m," they threatened. Alvi knew that the authorities and the police would not help him, so he left his home in the morning. His family was in tears.
Two weeks later, his uncle along with two mullas of the Khatame Nabuwwat Organization visited Mr Alavi at Wah. They gave him a notice of three days to recant, otherwise to be prepared to face the penalty of an apostate (death). They told him that he was delinked from his entire family, including his wife, children and parents, and that his wife was now free to marry elsewhere. They warned him not to correspond with them.
A few days later, two officials of the district Ahmadiyya Community went to see Mr Alavi's family at the village. The family told them that all mail addressed to them was intercepted and opened by unauthorized persons prior to delivery to them. A fortnight earlier, Mr Alavi's children were forbidden by the extremists to go to school. The local Mufti had issued the Fatwa that Alavi deserved to be killed for his apostasy, and his family should suffer a complete social boycott. The family advised the visitors to go back, otherwise they could come to harm, as the fundamentalists would soon come there to inquire as to who was visiting. Accordingly, they departed after making arrangements for the next rendezvous at some other location.
Threats are a favourite tool with opponents of Ahmadiyyat. Some threats are followed up by action and some are not; however, these always indicate their will and wish, and keep Ahmadis in a state of uncertainty and fear. Some such incidents are mentioned below.
Mr. N. A. Riaz, Ahmadi, while in the bazaar, was invited by one Naseer, proprietor of Shangri-La Press to sit with him. Naseer asked him in a friendly manner some questions, but then exposed his real self by telling him, 'Riaz, I am warning you to desist from your activities, otherwise, by God, you will be murdered; I know all the details of your daily moves; It will not take long and you will meet your end.' When Mr. Riaz opened his month to reply to the threat, Naseer hit him in the face and cut his lower lip that started bleeding. Mr. Riaz departed, washed his face in a nearby restaurant, and returned home.
Naseer is an office-bearer of the District Khatme Nabuwwat and has been involved previously in such incidents against some other Ahmadis as well. He has also been instrumental in getting registered criminal cases under religious laws against Ahmadis.
Moro, Sind
Mr. Muhammad Abbas, of Moro was targeted by the opposition for his Ahmadiyya activities. In January, he received a threat to his life through a letter written in Sindhi language. Its translation in English is produced below:
Abbas Qadiani,
We have exercised restraint for long but you are exceeding your limits every day. First you targeted the Chandio tribe, and now you are enticing the people of Moro and its suburbs. This is the final warning to you. If you desist, it will be good for you; otherwise the entire Muslim Umma has already given a Fatwa for your death. All apostates are liable to be killed, and you are also outside the pale of Islam.
You will be finished in a manner that dogs will eat your dead body. You should get the message.
You are warned again to desist from preaching your Qadianism.
Model Colony
Mr. Kamran, a young man decided to join the Ahmadiyya Jamaat in January. He started offering his congregational prayers with Ahmadis. One early morning when he was proceeding to the Ahmadiyya Mosque to offer his Fajr prayers, he was intercepted by a group of unknown men who threatened him to dissociate himself from Ahmadis, or face violence. They threatened to kill members of his family. Kamran got scared and asked them not to move against members of his family and undertook to break up with Ahmadis.
Maulvi Ibrahim Saadi delivered the Friday sermon at the Jamia Masjid, Labour Square on April 9, and incited the worshippers openly to violence. He threatened Ahmadis that with the help of locals he would set their homes on fire. He even asked the audience to volunteer themselves for the task. He gave one week's notice to Ahmadis to pack up and quit. In case of non-compliance, he threatened to teach them a lesson that they will remember till the Doom's Day. He asserted that according to the Quran, murder of an Ahmadi was licit, and such a murder brings eternal peace and is a sure ticket to heaven. He invited one and all to join him in the Jihad against Ahmadis next Friday when Ahmadi houses and properties would be put to torch.
Mr. Muzaffar Majoka, the Director of a local school, Cambridge Academy, reported in a letter on May 8, 1999 that he was threatened on telephone by Mulla Allah Yar Arshad of the Majlis Khatme Nabuwwat. According to Mr. Majoka, a booklet of Religious Information (meant only for Ahmadi children) is prescribed to the students of his school for the last 9 to 10 years. Mulla Arshad, somehow, got hold of a copy of this booklet and reacted strongly. On the telephone, the Mulla said, "Cut it out, or face prison, or else…." Mr Majoka felt perturbed. Anybody would, in his situation.
Writing a truthful book in Pakistan on the Ahmadiyya issue is a rare phenomenon, and a press review on the same is equally unexpected. However, it has happened. Haseeb Publishers have published a book, Pakistan Kay Mazhabi Achhoot that literally means: Pakistan's Religious Untouchables. The Daily News of May 23, 1999 contains a Review of the book. It begins by a statement 'Ahmadis or Qadianis have for long been at the wrong end of the majority's campaign to impose their writ on the whole of the population of Pakistan'. It ends by concluding, 'The State's acceptance of the demands made by the anti-Qadiani mullahs has been total. And this chronicle by Tanveer Ahmad Mir and Murtaza Ali Shah is as irrefutable an example as any of the role played by the Pakistani state in promoting intolerance in society'. The book itself is in Urdu.
HRCP's Annual Report 1998 reported that the authors of the book received death threats.
Drot, district Chakwal
Mr. Ghulam Rasul Alavi, a teacher, joined Ahmadiyya Community in 1994. Some of the members of his family followed suit. In July this year, opponents started an agitation against his conversion. They tricked him to come to the village, where they manhandled him and made him sign a note of reversion under threats of murder. A surveillance effort was mounted at his residence to report if he violated the dictates of his tormentors.
The translation of a letter, addressed in July to two Ahmadis, one of them President of the local Community, Merik, district Okara is given below:
Peace on one who follows the guidance
To: Mirza Ghulam Rasul and Mirza Ghulam Mustafa
We are Muslims and we cannot tolerate that you invite our Muslim Brethren to Hell.
We order you the following terms:
- 1. Accept Islam and renounce Qadiani faith.
- 2. Demolish your mosque, and offer your worship in the mosque of Muslims.
- 3. Stop all dealings with Qadianis and announce a full boycott with them.
- 4. Hang a notice board on the front wall of your home with following inscription: We consider Mirza Qadiani an infidel and an apostate; we have recanted sincerely and have turned Muslims.
- 5. If all the above is accepted by you, you may continue to live here otherwise the territory of District Okara will no longer protect you.
- 6. Stop proselytizing forthwith, Ghulam Rasul who is very fond of it. And Ghulam Mustafa should set free his Sunni wife immediately.
Threats to life
It is a common practice with Ahmadi bashers to make serious threats to Ahmadi individuals and their families. They convey their evil intentions on telephone or by letter. Sometimes they carry out what they threaten while at other times the threat is a hoax. In any case, the victim cannot be sure; he only suffers the uncertainty and fear of the situation. The threats give rise to tremendous stress and strain and can be a cause of great agony to the entire family for long periods if repeated.
As an example, translation of a threatening letter is given below. This letter was written in April 1998 to Mr. Mohammad Feroze Malik, an Ahmadi resident of Islamabad. He reported this letter and other threatening phone calls to the police, but to no avail. The family suffered a great deal as a result.
The translated letter
Long Live Khatme Nabuwwat Haq Char Yar Shias are infidels
Apostates must be killed Ahmadis are infidels
Malik Firoze, the Apostate,
We have already sent you a warning through our Pindi Branch that you and your family are on our hit list. The reality behind your silent neutrality in our mission is now clear to us; you have become an Ahmadi apostate; as such you are firmly on our hit list. In case you do not recant, we shall slaughter you and your children just like other hundreds of apostates who have been dispatched to hell. We are determined to eradicate all the enemies of Finality of Prophethood like you.
Maulvi Nazir Ahrari
Sipah Khatame Nabuwwat
Recd on April 98. Mohammad Feroze Malik
Also on phone Deputy Secretary Islamabad,
Complaints made. No follow up.

Happy New Year everyone! I'm back from my holiday hiatus, and I hope everyone had a great one. I haven't written much about denim in awhile, so lets get back to it. Just like I'm sure everyone's 2019 was, the denim industry is constantly going through highs, lows and periods of "meh." When it exploded in the early 2000s, it was all the rage, and since it was a fairly new thing, it was easy to come up with new trends and wild new styles. These last few years we saw so many rather interesting "trends" pop up on the market (see some from 2017, 2018, and 2019), that perplexed our style senses as brands tried their hardest to come up with something more unique than anyone else. However, trends come and go, and when it really comes down to it, all we ever want are jeans that fit well! Our bodies are all different, so shopping for the most flattering and comfortable pair is difficult, even for us fitness heads. It's always awesome to see a well known brand go back to basics from time to time, so for this post I'm going to introduce the new Lucky Brand Sculpt-Ed Jeans.
I'm sure we all know Lucky Brand, right? They were one of the first on the market, always trying to offer your classic comfortable blue jean while others did their best to poke their heads into the mainstream pop culture world. I'd say they were a little like Levi's, but a little less workwear and more on the stylish side at the time, like Levi's is now. Just about every brand eventually ventured into the stretchy form-fitting fabrics and competed against each other for the title of "best fitting jeans," as they still are, but it's interesting to see each one reinventing themselves with new lines claimed to fit even better. Lucky Brand has just released their new Sculpt-Ed jeans, made for endless movement and to perfectly show off your every curve. In addition, staying conscious to one of the other banes of every denim fan's existence, these jeans are also meant to keep their shape without stretching or bagging out over time. The brand is definitely staying close to the basics with three of their top selling brands: the Ava, Bridgette and Lolita, in both high and low rise skinny and bootcut styles. As someone who lifts weights, I have a fairly curvy shape with a bigger bum and smaller waist, and I've loved the fits of Lucky Brand since I first tried them over ten years ago. So with that said, I'd say these are worth a try, and I hope to get my hands on a pair soon!
Here are just a few of the new Lucky Brand Sculpt-Ed jeans currently available!
"Engineered to perfection, our new Sculpt-Ed jeans are made to show off every curve perfectly and allow for endless movement. The future is here and it's in your back pocket."
Check out the entire collection of Lucky Brand Sculpt-Ed Jeans here!

The Sabres' rebuild timeline changed radically Friday night with a blockbuster trade. Buffalo acquired budding star center Ryan O'Reilly from the Colorado Avalanche as part of a multiplayer package that had folks at the NHL Draft buzzing and Sabres fans looking toward rapid improvement.
O'Reilly is carving a reputation as one of the better two-way centers in the NHL. The 24-year-old already has six years of experience, putting up 90 goals and 246 points in 427 games with the Avalanche. He had 17 goals and 55 points in 82 games last season. He won the Lady Byng Award as most gentlemanly player in 2013-14, when he had 28 goals, 64 points and just two penalty minutes.
"I'm thrilled to be welcomed into the Buffalo Sabres," O'Reilly wrote on Twitter. "I've heard nothing but great things and I'm extremely excited to get started!"
Though young and talented, O'Reilly was long-rumored to be on the trade block because of contract issues. He held out at the start of the 2013 lockout-shortened season and signed an offer sheet with Calgary that Colorado matched. He followed up by signing a two-year, $12 million deal that expires after next season. He's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent, but Sabres General Manager Tim Murray has no plans to let that happen.
Murray talked with O'Reilly's agent after the trade.
"I walked over and introduced myself around the fifth pick or sixth pick," Murray said in BB&T Center. "They got him on the phone and I spoke to him. I told them that I hoped we could start talking contract extension whenever we're able to, and that's July 1."
The Denver Post reported Friday night that O'Reilly asked the Avs for an eight-year, $64 million extension.
"You know going in when you make a trade like this that negotiations are going to be starting a high number," Murray said. "We're fully prepared for that."
The 6-foot, 210-pounder joins a center corps that includes Jack Eichel, Zemgus Girgensons and Sam Reinhart. O'Reilly won 53.4 percent of his faceoffs last season and will give a boost to the Sabres, who finished last in the category at 44.9 percent.

Ishq Mubarak is the 'love song of the season,' as actress Neha Sharma calls it, but perhaps its biggest USP is that it has been crooned by none other than Arijit Singh

The Principality of Monaco, which is the world's second smallest nation (after the Vatican City State), has a very limited military capability, and would depend entirely upon its larger neighbour, France, for defence in the face of an aggressive world power.[1][2] All together there are 255 soldiers serving in Monaco's military (not including civilian employees who currently number 35 total), making its military the third smallest in the world (after Antigua and Barbuda and Iceland).[3][4]
The Minister of the Department of the Interior, is appointed by The Prince for one five-year term, and is mainly responsible for both policing and military activity within Monaco.[5]
Ministers of Department of the Interior (conseiller de gouvernement pour l'Intérieur) :
Some military roles are assigned to the civil police, such as border patrol, and border defence, which are the responsibility of a special police unit officially named "The Maritime and Heliport Police Division", and which operates on land and at sea, using patrol boats and high-speed surveillance boats.[6] Patrol boats are also operated by both the Corps des Sapeurs-Pompiers (firefighting) and the Compagnie des Carabiniers du Prince (police) which currently number 4 (see below).
Two full-time militarized armed forces exist under the control of the Department of the Interior. One is the Corps des Sapeurs-Pompiers de Monaco, and the other is the Compagnie des Carabiniers du Prince. Both units are key to the "ORMOS Red Plan" which makes provision for the evacuation of Monaco in case of natural disaster or civil emergency.
Describing itself as a "military force",[7] the Corps consists of 10 officers, 26 non-commissioned officers, and 99 other ranks - a total force of 135 military personnel (there are also 25 civilian employees).[8] The officers' ranks (in descending order of seniority) are: Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Commandant, Captain, Lieutenant, Sub-Lieutenant. There are a further nine ranks of non-commissioned officer and enlisted personnel. Officers have generally served in the French military or fire service. Based at two barracks (one in La Condamine and one in Fontvieille) the Corps is equipped with fire engines, rescue vehicles, and a range of specialist vehicles including a fire boat, and sealed tracked vehicles for entering Monaco's railway tunnels during an emergency.
Beyond fire-fighting duties, the Corps has an extensive Civil Defence brief. Its personnel are trained in the use of firearms, and the Corps has a central armoury; personnel are also trained to handle chemical incidents, and have specialist chemical incident vehicles and equipment. They are also equipped with front-line ambulances, and personnel have first-aid and paramedic training.
Of a similar size to the Corps des Sapeurs-Pompiers, the Compagnie des Carabiniers du Prince has a total force of 116, consisting of 3 officers, 15 non-commissioned officers, and 98 enlisted men (there are also 14 civilian employees). The officers have usually trained and served with the French military. Its primary duty is the defence of the Prince, and the Prince's Palace in the Monaco-Ville (old town) quartier of Monaco. By extension, it also has a role in guarding members of the judiciary, who administer justice in the name of the Prince.
There are a number of specialist units within the Compagnie des Carabiniers du Prince, which include a motorcycle section (for rapid-response and motorcycle outriding); a bodyguard and protection unit; a diving unit with military, rescue, and scientific capabilities; a military first-aid unit which provides first-aid and ambulance cover at public and sporting events; and a military band, which includes state trumpeters, a brass ensemble, and a small orchestra, as well as being a marching band for ceremonial purposes.[9]
The ceremonial "changing of the guard" at 11.55am each day, attracts large numbers of tourists. The ceremony is more than just tourist spectacle, as this small military force is the front line of defence of the Monegasque royal family.
The rank structure of the armed forces of Monaco is based largely upon the rank structure of the French army.
Enlisted soldiers and non-commissioned officers rise through a series of nine ranks, namely (in English translation): Private 2nd class, Private 1st class, Corporal, Chief Corporal, Sergeant, Chief Sergeant, Adjutant, Chief Adjutant, Major. For those used to the British/Commonwealth/American system of ranks, it is important to realise that "Major" is the senior non-commissioned rank in the French/Monegasque system, equivalent to "Sergeant-Major".
Commissioned officers rise through a series of six ranks, namely (in English translation): Sub-Lieutenant, Lieutenant, Captain, Commandant, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel. As can be seen, in the French/Monegasque system the title 'Commandant' replaces the title 'Major' as used in the British/Commonwealth/American system. Also, there is no rank higher than 'Colonel' in either branch of the Monegasque military.

Company fined after scaffolding collapse at wedding
A Surrey-based company has been fined after the floor of a marquee collapsed just as 150 guests sat down to enjoy a wedding breakfast.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) prosecuted Block Scaffolding Limited over a scaffold collapse that saw the false floor drop more than four feet at the wedding venue in Newbury.
West Berkshire Magistrates' Court heard the bridal couple had organised for scaffolding to be erected to counteract the slope of the lawn and keep the marquee floor level, at West Woodhay House.
On Saturday 25 September 2010, catering staff were about to serve the first course of the wedding breakfast to guests when the scaffolding beneath the marquee floor collapsed.
Magistrates were told the floor dropped more than four feet in places, causing the bridal couple and 150 guests to fall to the ground along with tables, chairs, cutlery and glassware. Scaffold poles also fell into the marquee, narrowly missing guests.
Speaking after the hearing, HSE Inspector Joanne Woodcock said:
"The scene after the incident was shocking, with broken glass and crockery everywhere. The collapse must have been terrifying for the bride, groom and their guests.
"A couple's wedding day was ruined and guests unwittingly risked being seriously injured, simply because Block Scaffolding Limited overlooked basic health and safety.
"The fact no one was seriously injured is solely down to good fortune. This prosecution should serve as a warning that HSE will take action against anyone failing to build safe scaffolding."
Block Scaffolding Limited of Myrtle Drive, Blackwater, Camberley, Surrey, pleaded guilty to breaching Section 3(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. It was fined £8,000 and ordered to pay costs of £7,370.

Y'all. I'm super tempted to be flippant about this. "Atlanta gon' Atlanta" and such and such. But I'm livid.
a) Building this thing was an "emergency" because not only was the Super Bowl looming, but the city signed contracts nearly double what City Council had approved back in 2016. It just had to get done, right? Contracts were signed. No time for debate, or deliberation, or accountability.
From the AJC: "Completing the project is considered an emergency now because the city will host the Super Bowl in February 2019.
b) It was so much of an "emergency" that to pay for the project, the City had to raid Renew Atlanta premiums. It so happens that now many of those projects are underfunded and have to be re-baselined.
From Curbed: "One point of contention involves the roughly $19 million in Renew Atlanta bond premiums that were used to pay for the construction of the serpentine pedestrian bridge near Mercedes-Benz Stadium, especially in light of news that some projects on the bond program are at risk of being underfunded or nixed entirely."
c) And now, after all that, the bridge will be closed for the Super Bowl. It's a big middle finger to Atlantans. Her citizens, her businesses, her taxpayers. The City argued that the bridge would "provide pedestrians safe and unimpeded access to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium." It'd "save residents' lives", supposedly.
But now what? If the existing crossing is apparently sufficient for the Super Bowl, then what was all of the fuss about in the first place? How did we get here?
I honestly don't care if the closure is the fault of the City or MARTA or the NFL. This is unacceptable and we all should be asking questions.
Enough is enough. As it turns out, last year's Council approval was decided with an 8-7 vote. One vote was the difference that set us on this path. One vote was the difference that did a massive disservice to the residents of Vine City, English Avenue, and Downtown. One vote was the difference as to why safe and complete streets are at risk of being underfunded or canceled across the City of Atlanta.
We all have one vote too. While the next round of city-wide elections isn't until 2021, District 3 voters have an opportunity to make real and immediate change much sooner than that. There's a special municipal election on March 19th, and that election could tip the balance of our city. I can't vote in that race, but I can donate my time and treasure to making real change happen. With that, I'm extremely proud to be supporting my friend Greg Clay in his endeavor to build a better Atlanta. I just donated to his campaign, and I hope you will join me in matching that donation. Greg is fighting to improve the safety, affordability, mobility, and education of District 3 residents and I know he be will do a phenomenal job on City Council. And most importantly, he will be an independent voice fighting for the best interests of all of our city's residents. You can donate to Greg here: https://secure.anedot.com/clayfor3/clayfor3

text: Box Office Report: 'Avengers' Breaks Records Overseas, Already Earning $36 Million 4:14 PM PDT 4/27/2012 by Pamela McClintock FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Chris Hemsworth (left) and Chris Evans gear up to battle Loki's army. The race at the domestic box office is still too close to call as "Think Like am Man" and Jason Segel comedy "The Five-Year Engagement" battle for No. 1; they're followed by kids' pic "The Pirates! Band of Misfits" and genre entries "Raven" and "Safe." Joss Whedon's The Avengers continues to wreak havoc at the foreign box office, earning $36 million in its first two days and breaking records in a number of territories. From Disney and Marvel Studios, Avengers scored the third best Thursday opening ever in the U.K. ($4.1 million) after posting the second highest opening day of all time in Australia on Wednesday. PHOTOS: 28 of Summer's Most Anticipated Movies Moreover, the superhero extravaganza is showing strength across the globe. In Argentina, the pic grossed $600,000 on Thursday, the third best opening of all time. And Avengers debuted to $2.3 million Korea, the third biggest opening of all time for non-local title. Avengers is rolling out overseas a week ahead of its May 4 domestic bow. The tentpole is expected to kick-off summer in spectacular fashion with a $150 million-plus opening in North America. In comparison, the domestic box office isn't expected to generate big headlines as four new titles enter the fray -- Universal's romantic comedy The Five-Year Engagement, Sony's animated film The Pirates! Band of Misfits, Relativity Media's The Raven and Safe, from Lionsgate and IM Global. By late Friday afternoon, Five-Year Engagement was in a close race with holdover Think Like a Man for No. 1. Both are eyeing a weekend gross in the $13 million to $15 million range. PHOTOS: 'Avengers' Premiere: Red Carpet Arrivals Five-Year Engagement, a $30 million production on which Universal partnered with Relativity, reunites many of the principals from 2008's Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which opened to $17.7 million. That includes Jason Segel, who teams up this time with Emily Blunt as they play a couple enduring a long-term engagement. Sony's Band of Misfits is from Britain's Aardman Animations and hopes to place No. 3 for the weekend with a gross in the $10 million range. The movie features a voice cast that includes Hugh Grant as its Pirate Captain and Salma Hayek as Cutlass Liz. The Raven -- co-produced by Relativity and Intrepid Pictures -- appears to be in a close race with Safe, with both films eyeing a weekend debut in the $7 million to $9 million range. Directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta), Raven stars John Cusack as Edgar Allen Poe. Jason Statham action movie Safe, from writer-director Boaz Yakin (Remember the Titans), was fully financed and produced by IM Global.

I've been casual gamer since I was about 8 years old when I was first introduced to computers. I played a really mean game of Oregon Trail on my Apple II E at school. My first computer had the blazing processing speed of 100mhz. I've seen a lot happen both in computers and gaming since then.
Augmented reality, also called "mixed reality," is finally becoming a reality for the world. Virtual reality was around in the 90s, but never took off because of the high cost to entry for consumers, as well as a massive lack of content available even if you could buy the hardware. Thankfully with today's breakthroughs in technology, that's all changing.

Today we skipped the skiing. Why? I finally got the thumb out of my ass and climbed the mountain on the opposite side of the river. Okay, I didn't climb the entire mountain, more like 1/6 of it, but that was enough for me. I just wanted one day above the trees to lay in the sun, relax & just enjoy the moment. And so I did!

In its simplest form, mindfulness is being aware of, and present in, the moment. Our minds are constantly racing. We carry around different emotions, dwell on things of the past, anticipate the future, and often get bogged down with long task lists. Our boys' minds are the same. There is so much happening in their little worlds, but they may not recognize what emotions they are feeling or where these emotions are coming from. As educators, we are aware of these conflicts within their minds and can recognize moments of internal tension. We know that addressing this tension early on in a boy's development is key to helping him become a more emotionally aware individual. Through the practice of mindfulness, we're encouraging our boys to slow down and pay attention to how they feel, both emotionally and physically. We are creating a space where they can better understand themselves, and then better apply themselves.
Our pre-kindergarten boys have been practicing mindfulness to start their mornings and transition between different parts of our day. To begin each mindfulness session, we position our bodies to allow for the best practice. If laying down is best suited for our practice, we find a space in the room to lay flat on our backs with our bodies straight and still. If a seated position is best, we cross our legs and pretend to zip up our torso to help us sit up tall. Once in a comfortable position, we practice mindful listening and/or mindful breathing. During mindful listening, our attention is focused on the sound of a chime. During mindful breathing, we are focused on inhaling and exhaling, and recognizing the pace of our heartbeat. We use this time to recognize how our body is feeling in the moment, and to release any pent up energy. We calm our minds and let go of any lingering thoughts.
To end our session, we rub our hands together to gather mindful energy and release it throughout the room. While we typically practice mindfulness as a whole class, we encourage our boys to take a mindful moment whenever they feel the need from their minds or bodies. Each month, we continue to learn a new technique to build a "tool kit" of practices we can pull from to practice independently.
We know that addressing this tension early on in a boy's development is key to helping him become a more emotionally aware individual. Through the practice of mindfulness, we're encouraging our boys to slow down and pay attention to how they feel, both emotionally and physically.
There are two methods we've learned so far, and they're simple to practice with your boys at home:
Shoulder roll breathing: Choose a comfortable sitting position. As you take a slow deep breath in through your nose raise your shoulders up towards your ears. Breathe slowly out through your mouth, lowering your shoulders as you exhale. Repeat slowly, rolling your shoulders up and down in time with your breath.
Tummy Breathing: Lie on the floor and place a small stuffed animal on your stomach. Breathe in deeply through your nose and feel the stuffed animal rise, and then feel it lower as you slowly exhale through your mouth. Rock the stuffed animal to sleep using the rise and fall of your stomach.
Practicing mindfulness, for about five minutes, even once a day, has helped our boys better understand themselves and the signals their body or mind might be sending. It allows them to focus and be more attentive during our lessons, and helps them to practice self-control. Even at such a young age, our boys enjoy, and look forward to, our mindfulness sessions. It puts us all in a positive mindset, ready to tackle whatever comes our way next. We are incredibly proud of the effort they put in for themselves, and are so pleased to see how impactful mindfulness can be for everyone.
