'Our performance didn't warrant three points today'
EVEN Ange Postecoglou didn't think the Socceroos deserved to beat Iraq.
Australia drew its fourth straight World Cup qualifier in a row, leaving its chances of qualifying for the 2018 tournament in Russia delicately poised.
The Socceroos boss tweaked the formation to play three at the back, but even he had to admit his side "didn't cope".
For a boss who loves his team to dictate the tempo of the game, Postecoglou had to painfully admit "we never really got a hold of the game".
"They (Iraq) got the point they deserved," coach Postecoglou told Fox Sports. "Fair credit to them they worked really hard ... We didn't cope well, especially in the second half.
"Our performance didn't warrant three points today."
Postecoglou said the Socceroos didn't defend well enough and lacked "composure" and "bravery" during the match.
"We had opportunities to get a hold of the game and sometimes we lacked a bit of composure and a little bit of bravery to keep playing our football," he said.
"We just weren't strong enough in defensive areas and we were continually scrambling for things and we never really got a hold of the game.
"I think just about every header in the defensive half we failed to clear and that just caused us problems."
He added: "We had a good chance to go 2-0 up and that would've killed off the game but we didn't. In the end they got one."
But Postecoglou denied it was the new 3-4-3 system that let the Socceroos down.
"It's got nothing to do with the system," he said. "When they're knocking long balls and it's a contest in the air, it's irrelevant what system you're playing. It's about winning the ball in that area and in the second half, it just seemed every time they'd knock a long ball, they'd win the first header and we'd be scrambling to try and get control of it to get control of the game.
"In the conditions it was very hard for us to keep scrambling. In the end we just invited pressure on ourselves and paid the price."
Now the Socceroos' challenge to qualify for the World Cup has gone up another notch.
It was their fourth straight draw, but Postecoglou highlighted three of those results had come on the road.
Australia has three more qualifiers to play at home - including one against UAE on Tuesday night - and an away clash with Japan.
But from now on Postecoglou says each clash will be a "decider for us".
The result against Iraq leaves Australia on 10 points in Group B after six matches, three points behind Saudi Arabia, which beat Thailand on Thursday, and Japan, which beat the UAE (nine points) 2-0 on Friday morning (AEST).
The top two spots in the Asian qualifying group go straight through to the World Cup, but the third-placed team has to go through two tough play-off stages.
Now there's even more doubt Australia will even secure that third spot.
Postecoglou conceded that the sub-par pitch didn't help the Socceroos - but they already knew that going into the matches.
The wet conditions added to the scrappy game, which Postecoglou believes aided the Iraqis.
"Them playing direct helped them cause there was a lot of second balls and scrambling," said Postecoglou. "It's not how we want to play our football."
The Socceroos were very lucky to be leading at half-time.
Iraq fired the first warning shot after nine minutes when Mohannad Abdulraheem ballooned a shot over the bar into the stands.
Less than 10 minutes later, Mitch Langerak, who was chosen in goal over Mat Ryan, was forced into making a superb save down low to deny Abdulraheem. The chances kept on coming for Iraq.
Saad Abdulameer picked out Amjad Kalaf in the box and Mark Milligan was forced into making a last-ditch interception to stop a shot on goal from point-blank, but Australia put themselves in more danger by giving the ball away in the middle of the park moments later.
However, after the early onslaught, the Socceroos kicked into gear after 30 minutes.
Jackson Irvine unleashed the first shot of the game from outside the box to force goalkeeper Mohammed Hameed to make a great save to stop it flying into the top corner.
Minutes later Mathew Leckie did brilliantly to get past his defender before laying the ball off for Aaron Mooy to shoot first time towards the bottom corner of the goal - but Hameed managed to thwart it.
Mooy then linked up brilliantly with Irvine to allow the Burton midfielder to deliver a tantalising ball across the face of goal, though no one was there to meet it.
Australia won a run of corners - where Mile Jedinak almost turned one in - before Mooy produced the perfect cross.
Leckie powerfully headed home at the near post to give the Socceroos the lead, and moments later they nearly doubled it.
Tomi Juric split the defence with a superb through ball for Robbie Kruse, but one-on-one he hesitated, and Hameed slid out and saved.
Milligan and Juric also both had chances before the first half came to a close.
Early in the second half, Australia and Iraq had golden opportunities within minutes of each other to score.
Mooy picked out Kruse magnificently in the 53rd minute but then fluffed a tap-in when the winger perfectly cut it back for him towards the penalty spot.
Moments later the Socceroos were let off when goalscorer Abdulraheem woefully missed a free header from close range. In fact, he didn't hit the target.
It almost proved very costly 10 minutes later, but Langerak made another incredible save down to his left to thwart an Iraqi header from a corner from close range.
A deflected Mooy shot from outside the box followed, before Leckie found himself in the area but chose to attempt a pass (straight to an Iraqi player) instead of shooting on his left foot.
Australia even managed to get away with a penalty shout after the ball grazed Milos Degenek's outstretched hand when he jumped up to try and win a header.
Just when it seemed like the Socceroos were going to hang on for the three points, Iraq levelled the match in the 76th minute.
Iraqi superstar Ali Adnan took the ball down the left and played a silky ball across the face of goal that alluded the Socceroos, but was prodded home by Yasim at the far post.
The final minutes saw both teams come close to a winner - but Iraq had the better chances.
Milligan was yellow carded for taking down Abdulraheem, who was latching on to a long ball behind the defence; Brad Smith (who had come on for Kruse) drove a shot over the bar; and then Iraq should've scored.
Australia was somehow able to clear its lines after a 10-second scramble in their area, before Jedinak tracked back to clear a cross just off the line.
Then, down the other end from a corner, Iraq was forced to clear a chance off the line after a scramble.
The final minutes saw both teams try to find a winner, but neither found a divisive blow.

Ad wars: state election campaigns to hit TVs tonight
VOTERS sitting down to watch television tonight are set to be deluged with a series of tit-for-tat political advertisements from Labor and the Liberals.
With just four weeks before voters head to the polls on March 23, both major parties have dramatically stepped up their campaigns in an attempt to capture the attention of voters.
The Liberals' first television advertisement of the 2019 state election campaign features Premier Gladys Berejiklian listing the government's achievements, apologising for the "disruption" and warning of a "change".
Labor has a series of aggressive "You Don't Count" television and online advertisements - supplemented by brochures at train stations - attacking the Coalition's $2.2 billion stadium spend.
Featuring images of Prime Minister Scott Morrison, former federal Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce, Ms Berejiklian and Deputy Premier John Barilaro, the unashamedly negative campaign focuses on hospital waiting lists, the Lower Darling fish kill, "cuts to school and TAFE", and electricity bills.
The regional version attacks the Coalition for attempting to privatise "five regional hospitals", while also putting stadiums before "our kids " and "our sick".
Sticking with its "Let's Get It Done" slogan, the NSW Liberals remind voters how the party has "turned NSW around" by fixing the budget and repaying debt.
Acknowledging the "disruption" that has been caused from the unprecedented construction projects under way, Ms Berejiklian urges voters not to "change course".
"We can't let NSW go backwards again," the Premier warns. "There's still so much more to do."
The latest Newspoll, taken in January, showed the NSW Coalition heading towards a minority government.
The government needs to lose only six seats to lose its majority, but Labor needs to win 13 to form government.
Liberal seats expected to be in play include East Hills and Coogee, while the Nationals are facing battles in up to six seats.
However the Coalition is hopeful of picking up Wagga Wagga, which the Liberals lost to independent, Dr Joe McGirr in a by-election.
Coalition sources were yesterday claiming the seat was back in play and the Nationals were in with a chance.
The Liberal are targeting seats on the Central Coast, in addition to Port Stephens.

Since the inception of Kalaneri it has been socially active in all the art upliftment activities of the society. To begin with Kalaneri proposed to deliver free art education to the specially challenged children. In this we also got associated with a local school of Jaipur and provided a platform to the creative artifacts created by the blossoming children.
Kalaneri also joined hands with esteemed groups like Dainik Bhaskar, Rajasthan Patrika, Times of India and Dainik Navjyoti and organized various art workshops and an open art competition ie; Summer workshops, PIE, Kid's Carnival, & 'Rang De' for the physically challenged children.
Kalaneri Academy of Fine Arts always prompts to promote its students a global recognition in the field of art. To showcase the art works of its students every year. Kalaneri participates in the 'Kala Mela' by Rajasthan Lalit Kala Academy and also to felicitate the efforts and creativity of the students we offer prizes on our behalf.
Kalaneri also keeps its working inertia high by organizing art activities and theme based shows on recognized days like World Environment Day, Women's Day etc. It also hosts an annual art mela 'Srajan' inviting people with an urge of art irrespective of their ages and field to gather under one roof and show their creativity which later on gets displayed in the Kalaneri Art Gallery giving the efforts of artists a recognition. Batik Workshops conducted by Kalaneri is also a step towards empowering women employment.

Perpetual night rings quiet 'bout mine lot.
A temp'rate, welcome place does make my cot.
poems and prose from a confused english student
Perpetual night rings quiet 'bout mine lot.
A temp'rate, welcome place does make my cot.
christmas time
empty bottles of wine
children screaming
all of the time.
i can't light the fire –
there's gifts in the bin.
time to have a cry
and let the new year begin.
mary heard it as she swept,
she would bring the world its light.
and on the hillside, shepherds kept
their careful watch throughout the night.
heaven came and filled the sky
with songs of hope for ever more –
so they brought their humble lullaby
to the quiet stable door.
I was going to write a long winded post about what's been happening in my life for the last few days but it'll be so mind-numbingly boring that I thought I'd do something else instead. This year, while I've been at uni, my mum made an advent calendar for me to open – each day has some sweets, a funny photo, a Bible passage, and a little white stone with a Bible verse written on it. It's such a lovely thing to open every day and I thought I would share some of my favourite verses that I've been reading so far.
Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
– Psalm 25:4-5
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
– Psalm 32:8
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
– Psalm 18:2
Christmas is coming and I always find that this time of year can be a tricky one for my faith. There's the constant reminder that Christmas is a commercial ordeal, that 'Christmas isn't really Jesus' birth it's a Pagam holiday' and all that. Christians can really come under fire at Christmas because they're trying to keep their beliefs alive and society is adamant that they should become irrelevant. However, the message of Jesus' birth is so alive in the music we listen to, in the spirit of the season and in the love we show for people around us at Christmas time.
I thought I'd list a few of my favourite Christmas songs of the moment! yayyyy
Joy to the World – Francesca Batistelli
Jesus is the Reason – Kirk Franklin

MKIV splash screen rarely shows (stock firmware)
So when I bought my X3, someone had taken the MKIV unit and just thrown in an MKIII.. So I bought a used MKIV unit and everything works except two weird issues.
1. The Splash Screen rarely shows up. For the most part, when you start the car, it goes right into the warning message.
2. When someone calls my phone (connected via Bluetooth), instead of the incoming call screen that I've seen in other cars, it says the word "speed-dial" with the number calling me next to it or below it (I forget) but that's all that's on the screen. Sometimes I see the screen flicker and the correct call screen shows up for a split second.
Disclaimer: the behavior has not changed AT ALL whether I installed a custom firmware with nightmode and splashscreen edit fom bmwnav.net or had the dealership reload the factory firmware. Not sure if it's v31 or v32, but its 4-1/00.
Please help, I don't want to buy another MKVI unit if I don't have to. Thanks!

(Pocket-lint) - There's a lot of talk about Mario's mobile debut at the minute, with Super Mario Run to be released for iPhone and iPad on Thursday 15 December, but there's one games character coming to smartphone that has us even more excited.
Not content with giving us a remastered, 4K version of the original PaRappa the Rapper for PS4 early next year, Sony is bringing the hip-hop pooch to mobile too. We're not yet sure if it will be the full PaRappa experience, as on PlayStation One all those many moons ago, nor do we know whether there are plans to release the app outside of Japan, but just the thought has us jigging around like Sunny Funny on a cake rush.
The game will be part of a push by Sony Interactive Entertainment's mobile games publishing arm, ForwardWorks, to bring classic PlayStation characters to mobile in different forms. Hot Shots Golf, Wild Arms and Arc The Lad are also titles planned for the start of 2017.
After the unbelievable success of Pokemon Go and undoubted interest in Super Mario Run, who can blame it?
We'll bring you more on PaRappa's smartphone outing when we know more, but in the meantime you can watch him in all his PSOne glory with an entire playthrough video below. Naturally, it contains many spoilers.

Stands for $15,000 live foal at Vinery.
Congrats is the stallion of the week, for the week ended Monday, Dec. 13, 2010. With two and a half weeks to go to the end of the year, the Claiborne-bred son of A.P. Indy is clinging to a lead on the 2010 first-crop sire list by a few hundred thousand dollars from another, more heralded son of A.P. Indy, Darley's Bernardini. Click here to see the race on the charts.
Congrats, a brother to Claiborne's Flatter, was sold as a stallion prospect by Claiborne to Cloverleaf II to stand in Florida in 2007, in a deal agented by eMatings expert and noted turf authority Frank Mitchell. Vinery subsequently purchased an interest in the horse, and he'd stood the last few seasons at Vinery's Florida operation. Last year, the horse covered mares at a fee of $4,500, but he will move to Vinery in Kentucky for a $15,000 fee---academic because the young sire is fully booked at the time of this writing.
Congrats is a member of a one-time Rokeby family that paid classic dividends to its master, the late Paul Mellon, when Sea Hero, trained by recently deceased MacK Miller, won the Kentucky Derby in 1993. Out of Glowing Tribute, the third dam of Congrats, Sea Hero, Congrats, and other members of this illustrious family trace to La Troienne, just as Bluegrass Cat's family (and Derby winner Super Saver's same family) does.
When Glowing Tribute's Northern Dancer daughter Wild Applause—the second dam of Congrats—was put up for sale by Rokeby in 1992 at the Keeneland November sale in foal to Claiborne sire Forty Niner, Claiborne's Seth Hancock pulled the trigger at $1,025,000 for the account of Claiborne and Adele Dilschneider—the connections of Blame, too. The resulting foal was Grade 2 winner Roar. The mare was bred back to home sire Mr. Prospector and next produced the filly Praise, the dam of Congrats and Claiborne sire Flatter—both sons of A.P. Indy.
Neither Flatter nor Congrats was particularly precocious: Flatter was Grade 2 stakes placed at 4 and won 4 of 6 starts but never a stakes race; brother Congrats was a winner of one race from two starts at 2, stakes-placed at 3, won a stakes at 4, and won the Grade 2 San Pasqual at 5, when he also was Grade 1-placed in the Santa Anita Handicap and the Hollywood Gold Cup.
Because Claiborne had Flatter, Congrats was sold. Mitchell put the deal together that sent Congrats from Claiborne and Ms. Dilschneider to Tampa bay businessman John Sykes (owner of Clover Leaf Farms II). Brent Fernung, owner of Journeyman Stud, originally managed the horse in Florida and is primarily responsible for the horse's first-crop success, which includes 24 winners to date and Grade 1 winners Turbulent Descent (won G1 Hollywood Starlet on Dec.11) and Wickedly Perfect, plus the Grade 1-placed duo of Jordy Y and I'm steppin' It Up. Wickedly Perfect, unfortunately, went to the sidelines after winning the Darley Alcibiades at Keeneland or the stallion might have an even greater cushion against Bernardini.
Clover Leaf Farms II and Tom Simon's Grapestock LLC currently own Congrats.

Katrina Becomes Bella
Dear Hooved Animal rescue:
Last summer I adopted this gorgeous Belgian mare that we named "Bella" (formerly known as "Katrina"). She had been in Drew's tender care for quite some time, but it took her a while to trust us in her new home. Her wonderful, honest attitude made it very straightforward to begin to transfer her from a driving horse to a riding horse. She is an absolute delight to ride, and thoroughly enjoys a good trail ride. I am so grateful to the Hooved Animal Rescue for making it possible for us to bring this big lovely girl into our lives! Thanks for your important work!
Sincerely, Peggy Callahan

Angela Merkel agrees coalition deal with Martin Schulz
Angela Merkel has finally succeeded in forming a coalition government, ending four and a half months of uncertainty for Europe's biggest economy.
After all-night talks, her Christian Democratic Union party (CDU) and her Bavarian allies, the Christian Social Union (CSU), managed to secure a deal with the Social Democrat party (SPD) allowing the German chancellor to begin her fourth term in government.
Peter Altmaier, Mrs Merkel's chief of staff, said: "We have a coalition agreement, which means positive things for many citizens. And now we all want to take a shower. We've been negotiating hard and long for the past hours."
The SPD told its members on WhatsApp this morning: "Tired. But satisfied. We have a contract. At last!"

Convictions run at a fever pitch for footy fans in September, like nothing else within Australia.
For example, I couldn't help but notice this Geelong supporter go on to Twitter and post their anticipation for Friday night's qualifying final between the Cats and Collingwood at the MCG.
Is it acceptable to already be tense about Friday night on a Monday morning….?? ????#aflcatspies or is it #aflpiescats ????????#finalsfarce #homefinalsmyass #AFLFinals #WeAreGeelong
— M E L (@Melcatzzzz) September 2, 2019
Passionate fans like that one have a point when they complain about Geelong's 'home' final at the G.
What's the point of playing 23 rounds of footy to finish top of the ladder and earn the inalienable right to host finals only to feel like visitors at the MCG, where Collingwood routinely pack out the ground with as many as 70,000 or 80,000 of their own supporters?
Where's the reward and incentive for finishing top? That's the question upset Geelong fans are posing in the lead-up to this highly anticipated match.
The decision not to play the game at Geelong's fortress, GMHBA Stadium, reflects a few cold, hard truths about the AFL.
It's another powerful organisation putting profits ahead of people.
It's taking a great sporting code at the highest level further and further away from the fans.
Is there another top-flight sporting league or code that would make such a decision?
Advocates for the AFL point to the need to maximise revenue over September's finals series, as well as the capacity of the respective grounds – the MCG houses over 64,000 more fans than GMHBA.
But it also raises a question about how the AFL views Geelong – as a footy market, as opposed to a football club. Is it part of Melbourne, or a part of regional Victoria? Because if it's the latter, why not treat them the same as an interstate team?
In the case of the former, then that raises the argument that Geelong play some home games at the MCG so they should be used to the dynamics, conditions and nuances of playing there. This is a hollow straw-man's argument, since Geelong make an annual pitch to the AFL to play all 11 of their home games at GMHBA Stadium.
And in turn, it means that they are prepared not only to play finals in Geelong, but also treat trips up the Princes and West Gate Freeways as a visitor's luxury.
Should the AFL treat regional Victoria as an outside-of-Melbourne market entity the same way interstate clubs are?
Suppose Brisbane had finished ahead of Geelong on top of the home-and-away ladder, would Collingwood or Richmond fans be moaning about having to play at the Gabba, where the capacity of 42,000 seats is almost as undersized as GMHBA. Would they be championing a move to have the game played at the MCG?
Bottom line: if the rules are in place for one example, they have to be fair for those in all other examples.
Also a point worth noting: over the last decade, the AFL – in addition to the state government of Victoria, the City of Greater Geelong, and the Geelong Football Club itself – has invested a huge amount of money into the stadium, not only to bring it up to modern standards but also to increase its capacity to 36,000 seats, and 40,000 by 2022.
What possible reason would the AFL use to justify not wanting to recoup that investment?
The Cats playing finals in Geelong would help accomplish this. But fans of Collingwood and Richmond – two of the largest supporter bases in the AFL – possess an sense of entitlement for finals to be played at the MCG.
Aussie rules, more than any other sporting code in the nation, is characterised by its tribal nature. And being based at the MCG as a home ground, do rabid Collingwood and Richmond fans feel threatened at the suggestion of having to travel elsewhere in Victoria in September?
Nonetheless, the AFL has supported the views of those clubs and their supporters by scheduling Friday's clash at the MCG.
Geelong earned the right to host finals, and that reward has been denied.
The decision has denied Geelong the opportunity to unleash the spectacle of finals – and Cats fans would relish the privilege of providing that spectacle.

Karabakh (}
}}: Ղարաբաղ Gharabagh or Արցախ, Artsakh; }
}}: Qarabağ) is a geographic region in present-day eastern Armenia and southwestern Azerbaijan, extending from the highlands of the Lesser Caucasus down to the lowlands between the rivers Kura and Aras. It includes three regions: Highland Karabakh (historical Artsakh, present-day Nagorno-Karabakh), Lowland Karabakh (the southern Kura-steppes), and a part of Syunik.[1][2][3][4][5]
The name "Karabakh" or "Gharabagh" is generally believed to originate from Turkic and Persian, literally meaning "black garden".[6] An alternative theory, proposed by Bagrat Ulubabyan, is that it has a Turkic-Armenian origin, meaning "Greater Baghk", a reference to Ktish-Baghk (later: Dizak), one of the principalities of Artsakh during the eleventh to thirteenth centuries.[7]
The placename is first mentioned in the [8] The name became common after the 1230s, when the region was conquered by the Mongols.[9] The first time the name was mentioned in medieval Armenian sources was in the fifteenth century, in Tovma Metsop'etsi's History of Tamerlane and His Successors.[8]
Lowland and Highland Karabakh, which was populated with various Caucasian tribes, were believed to have been conquered by Armenians in the second century B.C. and organized as the Artsakh province of the Kingdom of Armenia. However, it is possible that the region had earlier been part of Orontid Armenia from the fourth to second centuries B.C.[10] After the partition of Armenia by Rome and Persia in 387 A.D., it became a part of the Caucasian Albanian satrapy of Sasanid Persia. The Arab invasions later led to the rise of several Armenian princes who came to establish their dominance in the region.[11] Centuries of constant warfare on the Armenian Plateau forced many Armenians, including those in the Karabakh region, to emigrate and settle elsewhere. During the period of Mongol domination, a great number of Armenians left Lowland Karabakh and sought refuge in the mountainous (Highland) heights of the region.[12]
In the fifteenth century, the German traveler Johann Schiltberger toured Lowland Karabakh and described it as a large and beautiful plain in Armenia, ruled by Muslims.[13] Highland Karabakh from 821 until the early ninthteenth century passed under the hands of a number of states, including the Abbasid Caliphate, Bagratid Armenia, the Mongol Ilkhanate and Jalayirid Sultanates, the Turkic Kara Koyunlu, Ak Koyunlu and Karabakh Baylarbaylik states of the Safavid Empire.[14] Armenian princes times ruled as vassal territories by the Armenian House of Khachen and its several lines, the latter Melikdoms of Karabakh.[11] The Safavids appointed the rulers of Ganja khanate from Ziad-oglu Qajar family to govern Karabakh.[15] It was also invaded and ruled by Ottoman Empire between 1578-1605 and again between 1723-1736, as they briefly conquered it during the Ottoman-Safavid War of 1578-1590 and during the disintegration of Safavid Iran, respectively. In 1747, Panah Javanshir, a local Turkic chieftain, seized control of the region after the death of the Persian ruler Nadir Shah, and both Lower Karabakh and Highland Karabakh comprised the new Karabakh Khanate.[11] the Iranian Qajar dynasty reestablished rule over the region several years later.
In 1813, under the terms of the Treaty of Gulistan, the region of Karabakh was lost by the Persians to the Russian Empire. Under Russian rule, Karabakh (both Lowland and Highland) was a region with an area of 13,600 km2 (5,250 sq mi), with Shusha (Shushi) as its most prominent city. Its population consisted of Armenians and Muslims (mainly of "Tatars" (Azerbaijanis), but also Kurds). The Russians conducted a census in 1823 and had tallied the number of villages (though not the number of people) and assessed the tax basis of the entire Karabakh khanate, which also included Lowland Karabakh.[16] It is probable that the Armenians formed the majority of the population of Eastern Armenia at the turn of the seventeenth century,[17] but following Shah Abbas I's massive relocation of Armenians in 1604-05 their numbers decreased markedly, as they eventually became a minority among their Muslim neighbors.
According to the statistics of the initial survey carried out by the Russians in 1823 and an official one published in 1836, Highland Karabakh was found almost overwhelmingly Armenian in population (96.7%).[18] On the other hand, the population of the Karabakh khanate, taken as a whole, was largely made up of Muslims (91% Muslim versus 9% Armenian).[19] A decade after the Russian annexation of the region, a large number of Armenians who had fled Karabakh during the reign of [18] An additional 279 Armenian families were settled in the villages of Ghapan and Meghri in Syunik.[18] Though some of the returning Armenians wished to settle in Karabakh, they were told by Russian authorities that there was no room for them.[18] This took place at the same time as a large number of the Muslims of the region departed for the Ottoman Empire and Qajar Iran. The percentage of Armenians accordingly increased to 35% in 1832 and 53% in 1880. These were also seen as consequences of Russo-Turkish wars of 1855-1856 and 1877-1878 because Russians saw the Muslims as unreliable and allies to their ethnically close Turks.[20]
In 1828 the Karabakh khanate was dissolved and in 1840 it was absorbed into the Kaspijskaya (Caspian) oblast, and subsequently, in 1846, made a part of Shemakha Governorate. In 1876 it was made a part of the Elisabethpol Governorate, an administrative arrangement which remained in place until the Russian Empire collapsed in 1917.
After the dissolution of Russian Empire Karabakh, Zangezur and Nakhchivan were disputed between newly established republics of Armenia and Azerbaijan.[21] Fighting between two republics broke out. Following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in World War I, British troops occupied the South Caucasus. The British command affirmed Khosrov bey Sultanov (an appointee of the Azerbaijani government) as the provisional governor-general of Karabakh and Zangezur, pending a final decision by the Paris Peace Conference. But in 1920, Azerbaijan and Armenia were sovietized and Karabakh's status was taken up by the Soviet authorities.[22]
In 1923, parts of Karabakh were made a part of the newly established Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO), an administrative entity of the Azerbaijan SSR, leaving it with a population that was 94% Armenian.[23][24] During the Soviet period, several few attempts were made by the authorities of the Armenian SSR to unite it with the NKAO but these proposals found no support in Moscow.
In February 1988, within the context of Mikhail Gorbachev's glasnost and perestroika policies, the Supreme Soviet of the NKAO voted to unite itself with the Armenia.[25] By the summer of 1989 the Armenian-populated areas of the NKAO were under blockade by Azerbaijan as a response to Armenia's blockade against Nakhichevan, cutting road and rail links to the outside world. On July 12 the Nagorno-Karabakh AO Supreme Soviet voted to secede from Azerbaijan, which was rejected unanimously by the Supreme Soviet of USSR, declaring NKAO had no right to secede from Azerbaijan SSR under Soviet Constitution.[26] Soviet authorities in Moscow then placed the region under its direct rule, installing a special commission to govern the region. In November 1989 the Kremlin returned the oblast to Azerbaijani control. The local government in the region of Shahumian also declared its independence from the Azerbaijan SSR in 1991.[27]
In late 1991, the Armenian representatives in the local government of the NKAO proclaimed the region a republic, independent from Azerbaijan. Portions of the lowland Karabakh are now under the control of the Karabakh Armenian forces. The region's Azerbaijani inhabitants were forced to leave the territories remaining under Armenian control.require('Module:No globals')

Five Short Blasts, Brighton Festival review - atmospheric boat trip is set adrift | reviews, news & interviews
Five Short Blasts, Brighton Festival review - atmospheric boat trip is set adrift
Five Short Blasts, Brighton Festival review - atmospheric boat trip is set adrift
Seafaring sound installation loses its location, but keeps its point
Few Brightonians now set off in boats from what was formerly the fishing village of Brighthelmstone. Not many of us even get as far as the Pier.
Few Brightonians now set off in boats from what was formerly the fishing village of Brighthelmstone. Not many of us even get as far as the Pier. Brighton Festival director Kate Tempest's mission to reach the city's far-flung corners was therefore well-served by Five Short Blasts: Shoreham, in which Australian artists Madeleine Flynn and Tim Humphrey turned a boat into a sound installation built from the culture and ambience of Shoreham-by-Sea, which would cast off into the English Channel. Choosing Shoreham, a separate and very different town and East Sussex's main fishing harbour, enriched the festival. Unfortunately, through no fault of the artists, last-minute logistics have banjaxed all that. Instead, we find ourselves in Brighton's unloved Marina, where yuppie yachts, not fishing boats, are the favoured mode of transport.
It would normally take Mr. T-style drugging to drag me to this denatured concrete hellhole filled with chain restaurants, whose design makes pedestrian escape futile. The trip's first pleasure is that our small boat quickly turns its back on the Marina, in favour of the open sea. Apart from a companion boat and its 10 festivalgoers behind us, there is no other vessel to be seen.
A short-range radio broadcasts chiming church-bells, guitar and electronic ambience, and allusive poetry and local interviewees which still unmistakably describe Shoreham. "Resting in coffins, that were trees," goes one line; "The wreaths are removed…the roads are resurfaced, and the planes are flying low again," another coolly records. The Shoreham Air Show crash which killed 11 and horrified the town in 2015 is unmistakably recalled.
Flynn and Humphrey premiered Five Short Blasts in the Port of Melbourne and Lower Yarra River, and this local adaptation gains documentary strength from its interviewees' sometimes frightening explanations of their life on the water: the fear of the tide, "the horrible one at night", for those out fishing or on lifeboats, and the big ships' propeller blades vibrating the steel in much smaller boats' holds. You can listen, or simply stand and feel the waves beneath you, as we set course along the sun's orange beam reflected in the water.
Five short blasts are the nautical signal warning of possible collision, and a child's voice periodically interjects with urgent threat ("Point to the casualty – fire rocket!"). The poetic narrative (by Tony Birch, Tim Crouch and Julia Crouch) ends thinking of refugee boats, which ask of us on this island which turns its back on those lost at sea, "Are we human?"
Tea and biscuits are handed out as we return, and the cliffs and the benighted Marina replace the sea's seemingly infinite horizon. The bells, guitars and brass build towards a cacophony, matching the sudden feeling of gained speed as the boat passes solid objects for the first time in almost an hour.
Such shifts in perception and perspective make Five Short Blasts worth its Festival-long run. It is, though, partially holed below the waterline by its separation from the town it is for. Instead of walking back into a Shoreham we've been awoken to, it's the concrete of the multi-storey car park.

Bring some of the beautiful outdoors to your family Thanksgiving dinner with an easy to make centerpiece. With Thanksgiving only one week away, you may want to take a look around your yard and see what you can use to make a lovely centerpiece.
There are thousands of easy DIY centerpiece options when you search online and we have a few staff members at the Garden Center that can help you with some ideas, but if you want some quick inspiration, take a look at the ideas we have gathered. We even have videos so they are super easy to follow.
Take a look at the ideas below, then enter our blog contest that we posted last week!
Simple Fall Foliage Vase
For this centerpiece, you will want to go outside and look for some deciduous trees, fall flowers and maybe some pinecones or acorns. You will arrange these however you like in a tall vase. Watch this video for some ideas on what trees to chose.
Candle Crate Cornucopia
For this centerpiece you will need to purchase a few items from the dollar store, but some of the items you can substitute with items from your garden.
Begin with a simple crate. For a special look spray paint it gold or silver. Next you can add some holly or deciduous tree pieces. Lastly, you will need purchase candle sticks to add to the centerpiece. Watch this video to see how she put her's together. She also has a few other decor ideas that are easy and pretty.
Table-top Trees & Edible Centerpieces
The next two centerpieces are great projects for the kids when they are home from school next Wednesday. For the table-top tree, take a paper towel holder and have them paint or color it dark brown. Then make slits at the top and bend them down to look like branches. Next glue on either pressed leaves or fabric leaves from the craft store.
To make an edible cornucopia centerpiece, you will need waffle cones, tootsie rolls of various colors and some small hands to shape the "food." You may want to add some nuts or chocolate covered pretzels to give it more variety.
Watch this video from the Today Show to find out more about these two great Thanksgiving centerpieces.

Dante Conference
Call for papers
Dante's Divine Comedy is not only a masterpiece of Italian literature, but also a universal, archetypal tale of the journey of individuation.
A conference to promote a Jungian interpretation of Dante's symbolic journey is being organized for 2021, the 7th centenary of Dante's death. The venue of this meeting will be Ravenna, Italy, the town where the great poet died and where Jung himself had a famous vision.
The event is being organized by the city government of Ravenna along with the local division of the Rotary Club.
The Conference will take place at the Palacongressi di Ravenna in Largo Firenze 1.
Colleagues who have published essays on the symbolism of the Comedy or who have delved into this topic with special interest are encouraged to send their proposals for a presentation to the organizing committee no later than the end of October 2019.
We look forward to receiving your proposals.
Best regards,
Claudio Widmann (CIPA Italy)

So here it is, finally up on my blog! Yes, I'm having a baby! Due on the 27th of July 2019, I am so thrilled to finally be able to announce my little pride and joy here! I've been dying to tell people ever since I found out, but had to keep it between close friends and family until I had my dating scan, and trust me it was so hard to do!
|This post may contain subjects which may be upsetting to readers. These things include ectopic pregnancy, anxiety and medical procedures such as needles. Please be aware of this before continuing to read.
How we found out:
2 weeks before Christmas, I suddenly starting feeling violently ill, I had an upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, everything I thought was a stomach bug, especially since my dad had just had one. After getting it confirmed, I was pretty much stuck in bed for about a week. Soon after it started getting better, but the vomiting just wasn't stopping. My mum spoke to a pharmacist about anything I could do to stop it, and pregnancy was suggested. At the time, I was adamant I couldn't be, but once my parents stepped out, I did a pregnancy test. And there it was, a positive instantly! Straight away, I told my partner Daniel who was making us tea. My reaction was a bit underwhelming, well what else could I do about it? If I'm pregnant, I'm pregnant. A few days later I went to my doctors and they confirmed, yes I was pregnant and around 4/5 weeks. Daniel and I had a long discussion about what we were going to do, and whether we would tell people straight away. I first told my sister, who said she basically already knew, and then a few days later told my parents who were ecstatic, and extremely supportive.
Hospital Time (12 weeks):
Although it was believed I was around 4/5 weeks, this was super early, and my doctor asked me to monitor myself, as not many women find out till around 8 weeks or until they've missed a period. However, I wasn't having the best time. The morning sickness was taking over my life. Although it's called "morning sickness" it can happen at any time of the day, and for me, it was happening maybe twice a day, more so in the morning but sometimes when I had something my stomach just couldn't handle. I knew that once I saw the midwife I would need to weigh myself, so when I found out I was pregnant, I weighed myself and kept note. But after 2 weeks passing, I noticed the weight dropping off me, and quickly lost 1 stone. I didn't know how normal this was, especially since I was getting pains. My mum spoke to my doctor and asked me to come in, as pregnancy shouldn't affect daily life.
The weekend went by, and one morning I woke up, and I had really bad hip pains. Thankfully my parents were awake so I went downstairs and that was an agonizing thing to do. At first, I thought it may have been wind, as I hadn't eaten much, morning sickness can really put you off food. But within half an hour I couldn't stand up, I had extreme pain and knew I needed medical attention. This is where I'm most thankful for my family and for Daniel, as Daniel got up and took me to the hospital. The hospital was like a ghost town, it was pretty much empty so we were seen quite quickly. And then the dreaded topic of ectopic pregnancy was mentioned. With having such bad anxiety, and being in the hospital for a suspected ectopic before (when I was around 16 – turned out to be an allergic reaction to birth control), my head was everywhere. After an examination and urine sample, they came to a conclusion it is possible but I am severely dehydrated too. An IV was inserted, and I was given, let's say the worst needle I've ever received in my life for Anti-Sickness.
After being put on a ward, Daniel was sent home and I managed to get a few hours sleep. The IV felt amazing, and I felt grateful to be in a ward where there was only one other person, as my anxiety was causing me to cry quite a lot. The following morning, I received IV pain relief and more fluids and was told I can have breakfast if I felt like it, so I had a bowl of cornflakes, and it definitely gave me more energy. A few hours after, I was taking down for a transvaginal scan, which I wasn't a stranger to and again, Daniel being the angel he was, came in just to be there with me. There we saw our little bundle of joy, happily rolling about and heart beating strong. I was asked how far I thought I was and said I must be around 4/5 and was then told I was actually around 12. Which was kind of shocking considering I had a period in that time. However the baby was healthy, measuring quite big but was happy, and they couldn't see any issues. We were so happy and I was taken back on to the ward to have my hydration monitored before I could happily go home.
The diagnosis was quite simple to everything going on, and it was Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG). This is where the vomiting and nausea are so severe it can cause weight loss and dehydration, which can then cause abdominal pains, more so by the kidneys. It also didn't help that the baby was measuring bigger than it should have been, as that would cause pressure, but I was so happy to be able to leave the hospital with a healthy baby.
Dating Scan (13 weeks):
The next day I had my first midwife appointment. It was pretty standard, going through medical history and what I'd need to do from now on. Due to what happened, and being under 25, I was deemed at "high risk" so my scans would be more frequent, which with my anxiety I was quite happy about. My dating scan was the following week, and we were so excited to see our baby again. We were told the baby was due late July, and it seemed like the most perfect date in the world. And now here we are at 14 weeks, still suffering from the HG (not as much but I have my bad days), and just excited for what's to come!
So I guess this pregnancy business is no joke! And I'm so excited to introduce our Baby Sunflower onto this website, and hopefully do more posts about how pregnancy is treating me, and what I've learned/gone through! If you have any ideas of what you'd like to see, leave a comment down below!

Friend An American Mustang
Please select your mustang friend. Thank you for your contribution.
Mouse Over or Click for Further Descriptions
Only once in my lifetime have I seen a wild stallion as spectacular as Painted Desert. A red and white tobiano paint, he is the kind of horse an Indian chief might ride to heaven. He is the son of the beautiful wild mare, Painted Lady and is now a herd stallion. His wild foals will preserve her bloodlines for eternity. Raised in the rocks and on the steep ridges flanking the Cheyenne River, his hooves are black iron, and even the prairie wind cannot catch him as he races across the prairie.
Up on the high reaches of the Sanctuary, summer winds are a constant, sending light clouds scudding across the sky, and their shadows racing across mountain meadows. This land was Ghost Dancer's domain and is where we are most likely to find her daughter, Ghost Dancer's Shadow, a dun and white paint born on the open range, is as shy and elusive as her mother.
The filly had a hat of black atop her head and a shield of the same color across her chest. She was of that rare color known as a medicine hat. Native Americans believed that if one rode a medicine hat into battle, one would be impervious to arrows and bullets.
When first I saw the champagne filly she was a jug-bellied little orphan whose old and weak mother had been killed by a mountain lion. My friend Susan saw her first and came running to tell me she had seen a strange yellow mustang baby with green eyes. We brought the little animal into the corrals, where we happened to have a wild mare who had lost her foal.
Suddenly, I saw movement-the flick of a horse's tail against a pester of flies. Prairie Lark stood in the shade of a giant juniper, and stretched out at her feet was a lovely black and white foal, It was my first glimpse of the pretty filly we now call Prairie Lonesome.The old mare nudged the baby to its feet and with wobbly uncertain legs it chased after its mother. Prairie Lonesome lives on the open range with her friendship band.
