Brazilian maestro Neymar enjoys dominant season for Barcelona
Diario Gol are reporting Los Blancos are aware he wants to quit the Nou Camp.
But, after using Real's interest to negotiate a new Barcelona deal, Florentino Perez has banned a move.
Marca say the Blues are eager to land both players.
Yet Real want mega-money to fund a move for Monaco hitman Kylian Mbappebut reckons the most important thing was the club won trophies in his absence.
"Well, until January everything went very well for me. It was bad luck, you cannot avoid these injuries in football, when you knock your ankle," he told Marca.
12:30: Emmanuel Adebayor has spectacularly accused his family of ruining his chances of signing for Real Madrid in 2011.
Real are instead happy with their current attacking options.
Just as well, as the report adds Sanchez does not want to move to the Bernabeu because of his loyalty to Barcelona.
Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos is wanted by Manchester United
09:00: Gareth Bale would welcome Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid.
The Monaco teenager is the club's top target after scoring 26 goals for the Ligue 1 team last year.
And Bale thinks he would deserve a move.
Don Balon report Florentino Perez thinks the Brazilian is selfish and will quit the Nou Camp to pursue his dream of winning the Ballon d'Or.
And now, 12 months down the line, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain both want to snap him.
08:00: Danilo is not the only Real Madrid star Chelsea are keen to sign.
07:40: Chelsea have made an offer for Real Madrid defender Danilo.

Teachings in front of borders, or you want peace …
In the middle of a hypothetical war to other countries are preparing NATO. In the zone of interests of the Alliance includes vast areas in large parts of the planet. Because of this, the interests and intentions of the North Atlantic can be crossed with other people. In respect of the Russian Federation it is shown in the permanent military activities near its borders. First, it is worth recalling the international campaign for the control of Baltic air space. A couple of years back, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and NATO agreed that the terrain of the first 3 will be based fighters of the Alliance. The aim of such co-operation was called the region's security. Joint patrols have been carried out for a couple years, and then they were going to collapse. But in February of this year, the Council NATO made arrangements with the management of the Baltic states to extend the mission. In this case, now is a question of finding a life-long aircraft. How would a good beginning — duty air space, security, etc. But there is a fair and logical question: from whom NATO and the Baltic states are going to protect Europe, being on the border with Russia? Obviously not from North Korea, Iran or other "unreliable regimes".
One day earlier Baltic Fortress Kevadtorm 2012 began teaching in 2012. During the past about 4 thousand soldiers and officers of NATO and the Baltic states were trained to produce ground operations in the Baltic to the criteria of the Estonian countryside. The smallness of the latest maneuvers were held under the title of Saber Strike. They took over the role of 2-thousand troops from eight countries. The stated goal of "Beat swords" — testing the interaction of the various armies during ground operations "for peace." Finally, in late May on the ground of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia were held exercises Baltic Region Training Event XII. Under the direction of the Joint Air Command NATO Air Force Alliance and the Baltic states held a training offensive. One of the main strike force during the event were A-10 attack aircraft.
As we see, less than two months in the Baltic region were 6 measures of a military nature. Based only on their quantity, we can draw conclusions about any evil plans NATO relative to the Baltic coast and the Surrounding areas. And yet it must be noted that all these maneuvers from Baltic Fortress 2012 and ending Baltops, are elements of one large training. If a closer look at the objectives of each activity, you can see a fascinating pattern: in at least some of them are perfected or other parts of the normal operations of NATO forces from air attack before landing on the coast and the next coming of the land. It turns out that all NATO members and the Baltic states only had some great exercises for the convenience of dividing them into several large the least. This fact needs to be seen "justify" only comparable to a large number of transactions. As for their present purposes, there is the presence of relatively large maneuvers plans not get off.
Yet, this is only a hypothesis. The official statements of the NATO command monotonous and dry: execution of tricks coming, interaction forces and so on, and so similar. Against the background of these statements looks curious position of Russia: in practice, the exercises are held in unsafe proximity to its borders. Bureacts to them, to put it mildly, restrained, and even just pretends not to notice. How not to remember the reaction of England or the land of the rising sun in the lumen of Russian bombers near their borders? diplomatic "etiquette", the statement of London and Tokyo regarding missile can be called uniform hysteria. Moscow, in turn, chooses not to spoil his own style and scandals "rovnenky on the spot." It appears at the top have some information that allows you to not worry about the activity NATO in the Baltic. At the same time, the lack of violent may sometimes not look completely normal. A number of political scientists, military professionals and ordinary people believe that every doctrine must close our borders "comment" by diplomatically notes. Yes, almost anyone of any such documents are not binding, but the need to mark their position and defend it. In this worldview, there is a reasonable grain. Only under certain circumstances, a protest against the maneuvers may look exactl
So unnecessary hysteria Baltic region are needed. At times, there can be heard the statement about the evil neighbor in the face of, which hopes to become a major in the Baltic States and for that, namely, increasing military forces in the Kaliningrad region. Most freshest expression to this effect were made on June 18 in Vilnius. At the conference "Eastern Partners: Current Challenges and Future Prospects" held, the Lithuanian Defense Minister R. Jukneviciene once again accused Russia of trying to militarize the region. In the light of the teachings of May and June, these words look very interesting. Previously, these statements were made by representatives of governments of Latvia and Estonia. At times, they echo the NATO countries. But because of the so-called "reset" by the same United States, such statements sound quite rare. At least, less often, than from the Baltic countries.
The principle of "if you want peace — prepare for war" is used extensively not only the North Atlantic Alliance. Our homeland is also conducting exercises. But, although stimulate another round of "revelations" and protests that Russian military friction to a decent distance from the border. For example, most of the events during last year's exercise "Union Shield" (joint actions of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan) took place at the sites of the Volga region. As for the naval maneuvers, the last of them were now in the Pacific Fleet, and were held in late June and the month. It is impossible not to note the words of some Japanese leaders, accusing Russia of evil intent, but the official Tokyo chose to remain silent.

Monastery in Judean desert by mlu821 (1073)
Mar Saba is a Greek Orthodox monastery in the West Bank, east of Bethlehem. It is one of the oldest inhabted monasteries in the world, another being Saint Catherine's Monastery in the Sinai peninsula of Egypt where it is believed Moses saw the burning bush.
The traditions of the monastery live on to this day and women are not permittedto enter the monastery.
I visited the monastery on a rainy day and although the sky was grey, the scenery was extraordinary as the monastery sits in a particularly beautiful valley with a stream flowing through it - although I'm not sure whether it dries up in the hat of the summer.

Hi Craig!A interesting opinion of important Monastery. I believe that you have a amazing reception. Geo..
CatherineD (4864) 2008-02-13 11:25
Beautiful view on this amazing big monastery. The place seems to be very isolated in this arid valley.
Maybe you can add a bit saturation to compensate the grey sky?

Updates that apply to IMS Queue Control Facility User's Guide
Change description: Documentation changes for APAR PI87887.
Topic: Configuring IMS Queue Control Facility > Setting up IMS Queue Control Facility > 2. Creating configuration members for message processing
The subsection titled "Allocating data sets for message processing" has been updated as follows.
Allocating data sets for message processing
Allocate three partitioned data sets for the following parameters:
Queue overflow protection data set - QSUN notification parameters
Commit data set - QSN committed message processing parameters
Uncommit data set - QSN uncommitted message processing parameters
You can customize sample JCL IQCSTRTJ in hlqual.SIQCSAMP to create these data sets and put the supplied sample members in the overflow protection data sets.
Member IQC#####, which is located in hlqual.SIQCSAMP, lists all samples, ordered by their functionality.
Specify DCB RECFM=FB and LRECL=80 (follow local standards).
Unless you specify otherwise, as described later in this section, the IMS Queue Control Facility assumes that there are separate data sets for each IMS on each MVS system.
If you allocate separate data sets for each IMS on each MVS system, the naming convention of these data sets is as follows:
Queue overflow protection data set ovflhlq.mvsname.imsid.NOTPARMS IQC.MVS1.IMSA.NOTPARMS
Commit data set ovflhlq.mvsname.imsid.COMMIT IQC.MVS1.IMSA.COMMIT
Uncommit data set ovflhlq.mvsname.imsid.UNCOMMIT IQC.MVS1.IMSA.UNCOMMIT
ovflhlq can be up to 25 characters long. The default is IQC.
mvsname is the MVS system name.
imsid is the name of the IMS control region.
If your MVS system is named such that the name would cause an invalid data set name to be created, the following rules apply:
If the MVS system name is less than 8 characters, an S will be added to the beginning portion of the data set name that contains the MVS system name.
For example, if your MVS system name is 123456, and your IMSID is IMSA, the commit data set must be named IQC.S123456.IMSA.COMMIT.
If the MVS system name is 8 characters, an S will be added to the beginning of the first 7 characters of the MVS system name and an additional qualifier, beginning with an S followed by the 8th character, will be created.
For example, if your MVS system name is 7654321@ and your IMSID is IMSB, the commit data set must be named <EMAIL>.
You can also define these three data sets in a way that they are shared among 1) all IMS subsystems on a given MVS system, 2) one IMS subsystem on all MVS systems, or 3) all IMS subsystems on all MVS systems. In these cases, the following naming rules apply:
If you want the IMS Queue Control Facility to share the data sets among all IMS subsystems, omit imsid as the middle-level qualifiers of the data sets names.
If you want the IMS Queue Control Facility to share the data sets among all MVS systems, omit mvsname as the middle-level qualifiers of the data sets names.
To share these data sets among all IMS subsystems on a given MVS system, specify their names as follows:
ovflhlq.mvsname.NOTPARMS
ovflhlq.mvsname.COMMIT
ovflhlq.mvsname.UNCOMMIT
To share these data sets among a single IMS subsystem on all MVS systems, specify their names as follows:
ovflhlq.imsid.NOTPARMS
ovflhlq.imsid.COMMIT
ovflhlq.imsid.UNCOMMIT
To share these data sets among all IMS subsystems on all MVS systems, specify their names as follows:
ovflhlq.NOTPARMS
ovflhlq.COMMIT
ovflhlq.UNCOMMIT
To use these data sets, create and populate them with ovflhlq, as set in the REXX program for starting the TSO client (sample: hlq.SIQCCEXE(IQC31)), with or without mvsname and imsid as the middle-level qualifier, and suffix NOTPARMS, COMMIT, or UNCOMMIT.
If these data sets are to be shared among IMS subsystems or MVS systems, follow these additional steps:
Start the TSO client. The IMS Queue Control Facility Main Menu panel is displayed.
Select option 1 (Change QCF session preferences).
Select N for Include MVSNAME in DSNames, Include IMSID in DSNames, or both. The default is Y for either field.
Topic: Using IMS Queue Control Facility > Using the TSO client (ISPF user interface) > > IMS Queue Control Facility main menu panel
The figure titled "Update Defaults (IQCP34V) dialog box" (Figure 23 in PDF) has been replaced.

t let you eat. They'd give you water and biscuits but that was all."
"I'm never going to prison. I'd rather die." He sat there with his little fake show of bravery and Bandy wanted to knock him down.
"I bet it keeps you up nights thinking about how you fell, doesn't it?"
"Because you think you could've saved yourself."
"But you couldn't have. You know that don't you?"
Tracy leaned back in his chair and watched his father, eyes working like he was solving a puzzle. "I didn't have to go on the roof."
"I could've gone in through the upstairs window. I would've been fine."
"It wasn't up to you then and it sure as hell isn't up to you now. Once you're going, you go."
"Are you talking about jail or me falling off the roof?"
"I'm talking about everything."
The kid scraped the last of his eggs up against his last hunk of toast and pushed them together then ate the eggs and threw the toast in his mouth right after. He chewed and swallowed. "I think you're wrong."
"Then make up your own mind. You don't have to listen to me."
Bandy smiled at the kid, sliding along the edge of his control, his per for mance. He needed to bring it back down, cool it off. "I started calling your steer Lyman," he said. "But if you got a name for him already, I'll call him that."
"Who's Lyman?"
"Some guy I knew."
Bandy hunched a little. "You don't always have to go digging for bones. It's a bad habit. I think you'll find that a lotta shit has nothing to do with you and asking questions just pisses people off." Tracy's eyes flashed and Bandy was about to apologize then Tracy said: "The muffler shop. They always have a sign out. They'd hire you, I guess. They always got bums working in there."
"Bums." Bandy felt the blood go hot in his arms and chest and it was welcome, his anger was welcome.
Tracy shoved his plate away. "You can take my truck if you want, I don't give a shit."
"You're an asshole." He spun the chair around and went into the living room, then into his bedroom and slammed the door.
Bandy put on his jacket and went outside. He tried to start Tracy's truck but the battery was dead. He looked at the house for a minute then walked out the driveway feeling defeated. It had already begun to slip through his fingers.
The bright sunlight and the movement warmed him and he unzipped his jacket and walked at the edge of the road at an easy pace with his hands in his pockets. The ice in the ditch bottom was as flawless as the wing of an insect and where it climbed the stalks of dead grass it was braided looking and smooth like slag on a bead. He saw something round and blue buried in the grass and thought it might be a ball and he wanted it, he wanted to kick it down the road like he'd done as a boy. He stomped on the ice and it fell away with a skittering sound and he pushed it aside with the toe of his boot and the tall stalks flopped upright and swayed. It was an oilcan and it was empty. He threw it over the fence into the field.
He walked on until he came to the creek then he stopped and stood on the road and stared at the water. It rushed through the large double culverts beneath the road and boiled against the banks, swollen and clear gray, marked by the snake tracks of current, almost chemical looking, toxic it was so cold. He used to swim here, riding the eddy lines, drifting. There was a bridge then, not culverts. He wondered if the bridge had collapsed or if it had been replaced before. Wilhelm would know. Tracy might. The water would come up with the snowmelt and flood the fields and maybe the road. Some memory of working with his father: walking the ditches, scooping out the debris, water rocketing by muddy then clear.
He walked on and climbed the first hill, dropped into the trough of the next. His bowels went suddenly watery. He looked around him then stepped from the road into the borrow pit onto the hard snow and crouched behind a leafless willow bush and shit then stomped on the snow with his heel until he broke it then wiped with hunks of the snow crust and powder. He climbed onto the road and looked over his shoulder at the stain he'd left. He felt like an animal, like a beast pursued, skinless and running. He went back and kicked snow onto his shit and buried it completely.
When he covered the ground where he'd shot Meeks, he didn't alter his pace. A red-tailed hawk sat on a fence post. There was another culvert, dry, yawning with icicle teeth. He thought of a prison cell, everything was a comparison: It was pointless to compare but the grooves were too deeply worn.
At the church he went into the graveyard to rest before he went on. The snow was hard frozen like limestone or salt flat and populated with cities of crystalline hoarfrost that tinkled and shattered when he walked through them. In the center of the cemetery there was a lone pine thick with needles and in the dazzling light it cast a shadow on the snow like a giant black pine cone. He crossed the shadow to the northernmost corner of the cemetery to his parents' grave. All the markers were small, nothing gaudy, no obelisks or mausoleums, simple graves. He remembered some that were plain, unfinished concrete with initials scratched in the mud before it dried. The graveyard was part of the Finnish church but his family wasn't Finnish. It was the burying place of the Long Valley more than it was the church of the Finns. Bandy knew no Finns. They were all dead and gone.
There was a layer of ice on the stones like there was on everything else. He tried to chip it off with his hands but couldn't so he kicked at it awkwardly and it cracked. He pulled his jacket sleeve over his hand and knelt and wiped the stones clean and felt the engraved words and numbers blindly with his palm. A car went by on the highway; the people inside didn't see him. He stood and crossed the graveyard and stepped over the low fence and hopped the ditch, scrambled onto the highway. The asphalt felt stable and stone-deep, as if he'd stepped from ship to shore. Ahead in the sunlight the road was wet and steaming.
The man's name was Gutierrez and his brother was Angel, together they owned and managed the Muffler and Brake Shop on East Lake Street. They looked like different models of the same man, both tan and short, thick around the middle. Gutierrez was the older of the two, and he was bald with a neatly trimmed white goatee. Angel's thin white hair was combed straight back, flat to his head; his face was clean-shaven and he had a pachuco cross tattoo on his right hand between the thumb and forefinger. The photographs in the office showed families and grandchildren in Little League and bass fishing trips, car shows. They seemed to be serious men, intelligent men, and Bandy wondered why they were so ready to hire him. He hadn't lied about being in prison because it was his only work history.
"People that work for us," Gutierrez said, "either go to college or go to jail. You already went to jail. You planning on going to college?"
"No," Bandy said, smiling a little. "I think I missed that train."
Angel smiled and nodded then looked at his brother.
"It's backwards as hell, but he might be perfect," Gutierrez said to Angel.
"I'll work hard," Bandy said.
"Sure you will. Do you like fishing?" Angel said.
"I haven't done it for a long time

We can’t seem to see an end in the applications of drones. They seem to be popping up every day so don’t just hype up drone selfies and aerial video and photography. They can get so much more done. From search and rescue to racing, and weekend fun, you have every reason to own a drone.
Buying a drone can seem like such a big deal especially if it is your first time. There’s all the tech jargon that can be very confusing. Some people prefer to build their drones using DIY kits but either way, you will want to own the best drone for the money.
The best consumer drone for filmmaking. Period. Relatively speaking, the Mavic 2 Pro is quite affordable, considering its feature set—and it is spectacular. Having taken it for a spin in Iceland, I can speak to its quality, namely brought about by the use of a 20MP 1″-type image sensor that is notably larger than many competitors’, and a quality Hasselblad lens. What puts this ahead of many other options is the superb implementation of Dlog-M and HLG HDR for high dynamic range recording and 10-bit support. This provides footage that is suitable for high-end grading and editing applications. This footage should fit in nicely with cinema cameras. It’s also a very good, compact drone. It can hit 44 mph, fly for 31 minutes, benefits from OcuSync 2.0 with a 5-mile range, and has ActiveTrack 2.0. It is a complete package.
You don’t have to break the bank to get a solid set of video features on an ultra-compact drone. Parrot proved that with the Anafi. It captures great 4K, has a log recording mode, and uses a high-res 21MP 1/2.4″ sensor that allows for sharp stills and a lossless digital zoom in video. The party trick of the Anafi is an ability to tilt upward, allowing filmmakers to create incredibly unique shots that would be impossible with nearly any other drone. We also found it quite easy to use during our review.
3″″ sensor to get the job done.
When you want to have your everyday camera take to the skies, you need a serious drone to handle it. DJI makes such models, though this series starts with the Matrice 600. This moves up to the hexacopter designation and can take off with a 34-lb weight. Yes—you can bring some serious gear up with you. It will work with Zenmuse systems, but it will excel when you opt for the Ronin-MX and your own cinema camera. This is getting a true cinema camera airborne and can’t be matched in quality. Professionals will want one of these.

« Mike Klonsky: Layoffs, Mainly in Special Education at Central
Here Are All the Links on ESSA Series: Ask Your Own Questions »
EXCLUSIVE: Common Core and ESSA: Part 9
Under ESSA, state standards have to be aligned so that the end point of the state standards in k-12 is aligned with the entrance requirements for the public system of higher education and career and technical state standards. This seemed like a logical requirement: students and parents expect that when the student leaves high school, the student is then prepared to go on to
What Congress eliminated were the mandates in the waivers, the incentives in the Race to the Top (and we didn’t authorize the Department to do something like Race to the Top again), and any other method of coercing or incentivizing the adoption of Common Core standards or any particular set of standards deemed “acceptable” by Washington bureaucrats. The law is clear –can mandate, direct, or control a state’s standards, or condition or incentivize the receipt of any grant, contract, or cooperative agreement on the adopt of Common Core State Standards, as described in section 8526A of the new law. States can enter voluntary partnerships to develop and implement standards, but the new law states in section 1111(j) that that Secretary cannot attempt to influence, incentivize, or coerce participation in partnerships or the adoption of the Common Core.
Categories Common Core, ESSA, Every Student Succeeds Act
Note that the Gates Foundation, among others will not stop pushing the Common Core and associated college and career agenda. It was a major investment, and it is still a prominent part of the Foundation’s projects to control the priorities for public education and terom publishers.
It’s just so blatantly self-serving. Republicans at the state level adopted Common Core because they chose to. If one has any doubt that they adopted Common Core because they chose to, one has only to look at the Medicaid expansion, which came with a big pot of federal money which many of them refused. They somehow resisted “coercion” there.
Republicans are denying it and Democrats have decided they can simply avoid the subject of K-12 education altogether.
Profiles in courage, both sides.
I’d expect that teacher to have data that shows what the student did in class or didn’t do. For instance, grade books that show if work was turned in or not. Labeling a teacher incompetent who has the misfortune of too many children with no interest in learning is disingenuous and foolish.
If administration is doing its job, tests and VAM will not reveal an incompetent teacher. Observations reveal that.
During the Los Angeles Vergara trial, the two Harvard Professors who were witnesses for the billionaire oligarch who paid for the lawyers and bribed the parents with children who never had the teacher who was dragged into court, sat on the witness stand and said from years of observations, they concluded—guessed—that between 1% to 3% of teachers were incompetent. For that guesstimate on the witness stand, the judge ruled in favor of the billionaire’s law suit.
Just working with the higher 3% guesstimate of alleged incompetent teachers, looking at California reveals how unjust, corrupt and foolish using results of tests and VAM are to label the bottom 5% of teachers incompetent annually. There is always going to be a bottom 5% when test scores are used. The teachers could be incredible but the students they taught were not.
3% x 295,025 = 8,851
That means about 1,500 schools could not have even one incompetence Teacher, but using VAM and an arbitrary rule that the bottom 5% of teachers are incompetent and must go means thousands of teachers every year would lose their jobs who are not incompetent—they just had the misfortune of too many students, who probably lived in poverty, who didn’t care if they learned or not.
But using VAM as the method to identify incompetent teachers without any observation to see how well they teach and without knowing how they teach, who they taught, almost 15,000 teachers would have to lose their jobs annually.
Few if any teachers would ever reach retirement age.
h
Virginia, this is the absolutely last time I will let you post about VAM. You have done it 20-30 times. Enough is enough.
Then that child and its parents should be happy with any score on any new test.
For this category of parent/guardian, the child learning anything, doing homework, reading books, etc, still is and was never important. The only thing that was important, if the parent/guardian even cared that much, was for the child to feel good all the time, be entertained by teachers, no boredom allowed or not learning was the teacher’s fault, and the child must have fun and feel good all the time with a guaranteed photo op at HS graduation even if the child never did any classwork or homework four four years. Any grade less than a passing grade would result in a complaint and request for a transfer to another class for their child to escape that mean teacher.
Once again you enlighten us with your ignorance. But you too have an excuse: the degree to which some students openly and remorselessly reject their opportunities in the classroom cannot possibly be comprehended if not witnessed first hand. Behaviors completely foreign to anyone with your rigid, authoritarian military background. Behaviors ranging from harmless, abject apathy to being dangerously defiant and disruptive. The type of student Lloyd is referring to is for all intents and purposes, unreachable and and unteachable. The causes and reasons are, in many instances understandable, but still not acceptable. But like every armchair quarterback, you talk a big game, but refuse to put your money where your overblown ego is. The LAUSD will take you in flash to fill any number of STEM positions you so dearly cherish. Come on, ignorance.
If we are to truly meet all needs, we have to meet the students where they are, not try to force them into a preconceived niche or role for which they are not equipped to enter.

All standardized assessments which compare the performance/growth of students in one class/school/district with another class/school/district are bad and invalid because they might be used to demonstrate more than 1% of teachers/principals are ineffective. We can ignore the fact that these tests are consistent across all districts throughout the country, right?
Thanks for letting us know how we should frame the different assessments. However, I think Duane would disagree with # above, right Duane?

The State Department's decision follows a public
hearing held by the Cultural
Property Advisory Committee (CPAC) in November 2011.
Monday's Federal Register, meanwhile, chronicles the renewal of the bilateral agreement
with China for another five years, saying "The Assistant Secretary
"
The renewal includes a so-called
Article II agreement that calls on the Chinese government to fulfill certain obligations. For example, the agreement responds to concerns about Chinese loans to U.S. museums--an issue specifically raised by the Minneapolis
Institute of Art, which requested quicker finalization of contracts and object
lists, faster processing of passports, assistance with fulfilling the
requirements for indemnity insurance, decreased premium shipping charges by
China Air, a more simplified loan approval process, lengthened exhibition
tour times, and increased availability of First Grade objects. The Article II agreement responds, in part, with these terms::permits the international interchange of archaeological
materials to
enable widespread
public appreciation of and legal access to China's
rich cultural heritage. The Government of the People's
Republic of China agrees to use its best efforts to further
such interchange by ... facilitating the approval of loan exhibitions to the United States of America, allowing objects in an exhibition to remain outside China
for up to two years, increasing the number of Grade 1 objects allowed in an exhibition; and considering longer-term loans of up to five years of a
In addition to collaboration, Article II calls for improved law enforcement, saying that the Chinese government "shall increase joint efforts with the Hong Kong Special Administrative
Administrative Region to stop archaeological material looted or stolen from the Chinese mainland from being trafficked into
and out of these regions" and "shall seek to further implement regulation
of its internal
market for antiquities, with the aim of reducing unauthorized transactions."
Information sharing is also covered by Article II, which mandates that China "shall provide annually to the Government of the
United States of America information and statistics about crimes of theft, clandestine excavation, trafficking (illicit trade and smuggling) and abuse of official power, and, as it becomes available, information about prosecutions and convictions pertinent
to the MOU."
A source of controversy surrounding
both the Bulgarian and Chinese MoUs is the inclusion of designated ancient coins among protected
the cultural objects subject to American import controls. But the adoption
of this week's agreements reconfirms that ancient coins are considered archaeological material by the terms of 19 U.S.C. § 2601 of the CPIA.
Cultural objects covered by the bilateral
agreements may legally pass through America's borders when they are accompanied by either
an export permit or proof showing that they left the countries of origin prior
to the effective dates of the restrictions. Cultural materials protected by
CPIA's import controls may be detained, seized, and forfeited by U.S. authorities as contraband. Smugglers may face potential prosecution under

What happens when your body is ready to hit your goal before your mind is?
“Your body is ready.” she said.
For the past few days, my new yoga teacher had been training me into certain advanced poses I’d been attempting for years, but somehow I kept stumbling.
She continued: “It’s your mind that’s getting in the way.”
Doing the work I do, her message immediately clicked.
Why “couldn’t” I do it?
The only reason I believed I wasn’t able to do these poses were because of my past of being unsuccessful at them.
But there was a flaw in this belief…
I was projecting my past into my present, and therefore limiting my future.
And that’s where the subconscious limitation was.
When I work with clients, even if we’re focusing on one area (business, relationship), we look at their life holistically because if you’re limiting yourself in one area of your life, you’re most certainly doing it in other places.
Mostly unconsciously.
These small day-to-day situations are a reflection of what’s going on in your internal world.
Life is constantly reflecting that back to you.
So with the yoga pose…
The flaw in my belief was that I was measuring myself against a PAST action, without considering the person that I’d become since I’d “failed” at the pose.
The practice, the hours, the focus, and improvements I’d implemented since then… I was overlooking the process.
I needed to trust myself to know that as I grow and evolve, the outcome will be different. It must be, because I’ve become a different version of myself.
I am a student of my own work, constantly catching myself in my own self-imposed limitations, and reprogramming my subconscious to support and empower instead of hold myself back.
This is also a process I run my clients through:
What are the self-imposed limitations?
What is the truth, which you can feel in your soul?
When you let go of your past, how do you get to co-create with the present, and as a result, uplevel your future?
Remember, your past does NOT determine your future.
You can change your future by shifting your beliefs that were formed in the past, and showing up in alignment to your truth in the present.
When this insight clicked during my yoga training, and I ran myself through my proprietary subconscious reprogramming process, and here’s what happened….
I started doing advanced poses I’d never done before. That I’d been scared to do for a year.
My body was ready, and my mind was telling me that I couldn’t….
Once I GOT that this was happening… getting into these poses became so easy that it was almost unbelievable.
(This, by the way, is exactly how my clients experience the quantum shifts they do… it’s “easy” once the limiting subconscious program gets cleared).
Recognizing that this is deep subconscious work, so naturally it can be difficult to spot these things on your own.
That’s why it’s so important to have a mentor who can spot this for you and run you through a trialed-and-tested process to move you OUT of the limitation and onto the highest path toward your goals.
Your body is ready. YOU’RE ready for that next level you’re calling in.
Your mind just needs to catch up.

Nice start to the pit with all the multi media parts. Should really look quite good once it's finished.
Posted: Saturday, January 21, 2017 - 08:03 PM GMT+7
Chris, that looks like a good start and also like a good load on the way to the finish.
But the kit is nice, great decal options and pe parts. Happy modelling with this one.
1:32 is a good size for WWII fighters.

Thanks Michael look forward to having you along for the ride and giving what insight I can when you come to build yours.
Posted: Saturday, January 21, 2017 - 10:48 AM GMT+7
I will follow along with this build to see how it progresses having just finished fhe Trumpeter Hurricane. I too have this in the pile somewhere so will be interested to see what foibles it throws your way.
Posted: Saturday, January 21, 2017 - 07:10 AM GMT+7
@D Great to have you along on another of my journeys look forward to it. I actually got this for a song on eBay even with shipping but they don't come up often. I noticed the IP as well and thought it might make some curious. It took me a while to compile the text for the build log so there was something of a delay in posting (2.00am my time LOL)
@Michael Great to have you along for the ride I look forward to picking your brains if necessary. Steal away my friend that was my intention I want you to be able to approach this kit and know exactly what I found and then either use what I've written or find your own work around. I've never actually found gluing the top of the wings to the fuselage to be particularly helpful. However I usually glue the bottom wing to the fuselage first and then add the top wings packing between them to get the join I want if necessary. (See my 1/24 Fw190 build log.)
Posted: Saturday, January 21, 2017 - 04:31 AM GMT+7
This is great stuff and I will be shamelessly stealing it to keep on hand when I get around to my metal wing kit! Thanks!!
FWIW, I've read "elsewhere" that, particularly with this kit, you can get a much better wing/fuselage fit if you completely construct the fuselage, then glue on the tops of the wing (bending them first until the curvature matches the wing root) before adding the lower wing. Allegedly much less hassle at the wing root that way. I did that for both of my last two Hobbycraft 1/32 kits (the Sea Fury and P-51A) and found that things worked much better.

Another build log from yours truly! This time PCM's Hurricane, a rather nice kit right out of the box with plenty of photoetch and resin. you can build it as a first production run with a two bladed prop or as an early production model upgraded with a three bladed prop. I'm leaning towards doing a Finnish version with the three bladed prop.
I've been working in sub assemblies doing what I deemed the "easy" ones first. Cockpit, fuselage, landing gear bays, prop. Then moved onto the more complex ones and by complex I mean working with photoetch. I've built the radiator and attached it to the wing. I've built the instrument panel, not complex as such just rather fiddly getting everything to line up.
Now there were issues with several of the sub assemblies I've built and I'll cover those individually.
1/. Fuselage:- the pilot's armoured headrest needed a little finessing to get it to fit properly specifically around the edges that fit into the fuselage. They needed sanding down to get everything to fit snugly. Not unexpected in a short run kit though is it? The underside of the fuselage leading up to the tail needed careful attention to get it all to line up nicely and it does so with a little care. The underside spine? Fin? Is a separate piece and had a couple of rather large sink marks in it that needed filling which I did before I attached it to the fuselage. There are no alignment pins in any of the plastic parts so place everything carefully. I glued down the front of the spine first ie closest to the radiator. Once I had this centered I glued down the back of it. The rudder has two different bottom portions to allow for the different versions. This is split along a taped seam but will require careful blending.
2/. Bottom wing:- The bottom wing by itself is fine with plenty of lovely detail, however there are a few things that we need to attach to the inside of it. The major two are the landing gear housing and a plastic spar the ensure the wing curves correctly to fit the fuselage. I've read a review that stated categorically that you needed to attach the upper wings to the fuselage first to ensure a decent fit at the wing root. I found that the upper wings don't actually curve enough to accurately fit them to the fuselage without bending them to ensure a decent fit. This would require some form of mechanical compression to ensure the shape is correct. Which rather shortened the width of the wing. I carefully approached this part of the build with the spar to ensure proper location to maximise the curving of the upper wing over it. The instructions here are vague to exactly where it goes and there are no markings on the bottom wing to line it up with. I looked at it logically and decided the best placement would be where the fit would be most difficult. To me this was where the upper wings are cut to go around the wing walk areas at the wing root. To do this I taped the upper wing to the lower and drew around the cut so I knew exactly where to place the spar. This worked to my satisfaction, however it was not exactly centered and was a little to the left. It was easy enough to rectify I simply cut a piece of thick plastic stock to extend the top of the spar so it went under the fuselage. (The white piece on the spar) I braced the back of the spar with some of the thick plastic stock to improve its grip on the wing as I'm sure there will be a reasonable force applied to this area. And I worried the butt join would be to weak by itself. I also glued some of the thick plastic stock to the ends of the wheel wells to hide ends of the wells and to ensure a positive fit. I've test fitted both top and bottom wings by taping them to the fuselage and everything fits quite well. I was also advised by the same reviewer that the wheel well needed sanding till it was transparent on the top to get a decent fit. I've not found this with my build. PCM may have worked on the kit to rectify the problems the previous reviewer had with these areas.
3/. Propellor hub:- Again no alignment pins and the attachment points are narrow and don't provide a big mating surface. To combat this I put the back of the spinner on a ruler to lift it off the bench and allow me to rotate the blades to a pitch that looked "right" to me. I then applied glue to the surfaces and put the blade on the desk on a blob of blu tack to hold it in position while the glue dried. I placed a scalpel on the spinner disk to ensure it didn't move while the blade was drying. I worked one blade at a time and waited for each blade to cure enough to be able to support itself while I worked on the next blade. (around two hours to be safe)
4/. Radiator housing:- This proved challenging as the photoetch appeared to be too big for the surfaces they were to be glued too. The front of the radiator was a fairly simple fix I simply put a fine sawblade cut in the piece so the etch part dropped down far enough to be out of the way. I then glued it into position, again it required a little finessing as the front of the part was a semi circle and it needed careful work to get it square. This part was to proud to ensure a flush fit with the wing so it was filed down till the fit was to my satisfaction. The back part of the radiator was to wide AND too deep to fit in the space provided. So again I ran a fine saw blade around the inside of the housing till it dropped in far enough. I got to the point where I was almost cutting through the body of the housing to get it to fit. But fit it did and it also required sanding for a good fit to the wing.
Also the kit's instructions are vague as to how the seat belts attach to the back of the seat but after perusing the web I realised that it actually goes through the seat and then attaches. The instructions don't show this, not a big problem for the RAF modellers out there as after a few kits it must seem obvious but for a dedicated Luftwaffe builder it was rather confusing.
Rather a long spiel but I wanted this build log to be a record of what I did exactly to solve each problem I've encountered. So that you my fellow modeller may either use what I've done or discard it as you see fit. Okay here are the pics and there are a few of them, next up time for a little paint.

Pandya v Intersalonika. Plenty of (appealable?) things to chew on re limitation periods and Rome II. – gavc law – geert van calster
Many thanks 2TG for initially flagging the judgment, and for Maura McIntosh and colleagues not just for further reviewing it but also for sending me copy: for the case has not yet appeared on the usual sites.
In Pandya v Intersalonika [2020] EWHC 273 (QB), Tipples J held that proceedings were time-barred in accordance with Greek law as the lex causae, where the claim form was issued in the English courts before the expiry of the applicable Greek limitation period, but was not served until after that period had expired.
The claim arises out of a road traffic accident that happened in Kos, Greece on 29 July 2012. The claimant is a UK national and was on holiday in Kos with her family when she was struck by a motorcycle as she was crossing the road. The claimant suffered a severe traumatic brain injury and was then aged fifteen. Defendant is the Greek-registered insurance company which provided insurance to the motorcyclist or the motorcycle that he was riding.
That claimant is entitled to sue the insurer in England is not of course, contrary to Tipples J passing reference, a result of Rome II but rather of Brussels IA. Jurisdiction however at any rate was not under discussion.
Defendant then relies on A15(h) Rome II to argue a time bar under Greek law, the lex locus damni: service of the claim is a rule of Greek law in relation to limitation and a claim has to be issued and served to interrupt the limitation period. This means that the requirement of service cannot be severed, or downgraded, to a step which is simply governed by the rules of civil procedure under English law. Claimant by contrast argues that service of the claim is a point of pure procedure, which falls squarely within Article 1(3) and is governed by the rules of civil procedure under English law.
At 25 ff Tipples J discusses the issue (I highlight the most relevant arguments; compare nb with the situation under the Rome Convention in Mineworkers):
starting with the principle of autonomous interpretation;
further, a need for wide interpretation of A15 which she derives from its non-exhaustive character. I do not agree that non-exhaustive listings necessarily equate broad interpretations;
thirdly the need, by contrast, to interpret A1(3) narrowly ‘because it is an exception’ to the general rule of lex locus damni in A4. This too I disagree with: A1(3) states it ‘it shall not apply to evidence and procedure, without prejudice to Articles 21 and 22’ (which concern formal validity and burden of proof). In my view A1(3) like A1(2) defines the scope of application, like A1(2). It is listed separately from the issues in A1(2) for unlike those issues, part of the excluded subject-matter is partially brought back into the scope of application. If anything therefore needs to be interpreted restrictively, it is the partial cover of evidence and procedure. Seemingly between parties however this was not disputed.
Further support is found in Dicey & Morris 15th ed., which refers to Wall v Mutuelle de Poitiers a case which discusses the issues somewhat, yet if anything more in support of English law applying to the discussion in Pandya rather than the other way around. (A reference further on in Andrew Dickinson’s Rome II Volume with OUP in my mind, too, further underlines the opaqueness of the A1 /A15 distinction and does not clearly lend support pro the lex causae argument).
Fifth, predictability and certainty are cited in support however how these gazump exclusions from the scope of application is not clear to me.
Finally PJSC Tatneft v Bogolyubov is referred to but dismissed as irrelevant (which surprises me).
Held: the claim was time-barred and therefore dismissed.
I would suggest there is plenty of scope for appeal here.

Eleftherios Hatziioannou, Principal at Peopleizers, captures the dilemma for corporate leaders: “Marketers and the organizations behind them need to stop thinking in quantitative metrics only and add some deeper/relationship-based success factors to their strategies. However, these are more difficult to scale, because it takes one relationship at a time. This puts many businesses off. They think: How am I supposed to answer every single question out there?Isn’t it more efficient to just keep interrupting people with our messages the way we did in the past decades?”
Eleftherios Hatziiannou writes, “Marketers spent fortunes every year for marketing research and data to understand precisely who their target group is, what they want and where they can reach them. Today people publicly say what they want by using social media. Wouldn`t it make sense to learn how to participate in this new kind of marketplace and thereby turn conversations into commerce?”

I wonder, who else is tired, but creative, and willing to speak? And I wonder, if we were all to raise our colorful and creative voices together, how powerful could we be?
Like many of you probably did, I watched the speech Joaquin Phoenix gave after winning the best actor award at this year’s Oscars.
Like many of you may have, I felt a subtle punch to the gut while I watched it.
Mr. Phoenix took advantage of his moment at the podium to issue a heartfelt call to action. He implored listeners to consider the mess we’ve made of our planet, and then consider the role we might have in co-creating a solution together. He called us to look clearly at our dysfunction, then turn the high beams of our creativity toward easing the great sufferings of our world.
As I watched the awardee speak, his face red and hands tentative with emotion, my heart softened. My soul empathized with his. His effort to choke back tears from his eyes sent tears welling up in mine. Such sensitive words, such compassionate intention. So rare to witness under a spotlight.
For many years in my life, I did speak. I spoke loudly in support of the causes I believed in, the struggles that kept me up at night. The logging of the redwood trees in the Pacific Northwest. The devastation of our sacred rivers through dam construction and mining. Destruction of wildlife and wild lands at the hands of those who take and do not give back.
What disturbed me most in Phoenix’s speech was his spotlight on the suffering of farm animals. As he spoke about a mother dairy cow, wailing with fear as her calf is torn away so she can produce more milk, I knew the story too well. We humans will buy her milk in a sterile carton, far away from its source, and swirl it into our coffee (while, presumably, shipping her calf to a veal farm), with no sense of connection to her pain.
The suffering of animals always pulled me to the frontlines of activism like no other issue. I marched in protest on city streets against lab animal experiments. I stood on corners collecting petition signatures to ban steel leghold traps. I wrote to politicians, imploring them to pass legislation to make captive whales and dolphins illegal.
When I was in veterinary school, I reported my school to PETA for capturing pigeons at the zoo to use for euthanasia experiments. I also reported the zoo.
I did everything I could to live according to my highest values: compassion and respect for all beings. I was far from perfect, but I was never quiet.
I was young then, in my teens and 20s. I used to wonder why everyone around me on the street also seemed so young. I wondered why it seemed that the older people got, the less they came out to participate in our shared efforts. Not everyone moved on, but most did.
I was saddened by this. We needed those people and their voices, I thought. We needed them to stay.
So I became quite interested to know what happened. Had those people simply stopped caring as they grew older? Surely not. Had their lives just become too busy with family and other responsibilities that pulled them away? Maybe. Did they just get cynical, after fighting for so long and seeing only slow, meandering progress over time? Quite possible, I thought.
I think activists just get tired.
The life of an activist can be exhausting. We can care so deeply about an issue that our care builds to a raging fire in our bones. Standing on the frontlines of continued heartbreak exposes us to intense emotional heat. It can truly drain the spirit to see the news, read the stories, and witness the dire outcomes of humanity’s destructive impulses, year after year, decade after decade.
Back in 1846, the writer Henry David Thoreau was thrown in jail in Concord, Massachusetts. He had refused to pay his taxes, in protest of both slavery and the Mexican-American war. Refusal to pay was, for Thoreau, a refusal to support a government he saw as inhumane and barbaric.
I have always loved this story. I identify with the wild idealist Thoreau, and his willingness, within his capacities, to stand against authority when that authority stood for something he believed was vile and wrong.
Remembering the story now, I have an eerie feeling. I step back and look at the scene, and I shudder. At this moment I don’t imagine myself sitting next to Thoreau in spirit, a friend and fellow fighter against injustice. Instead, I now have the feeling I’m looking in at him from the outside.
I ask myself, what am I doing out here?
In particular, working within the animal shelter industry for years, and seeing people mistreat, abandon, abuse, and throw away animals month after month, I broke down. I was plagued by nightmares. I started to hate human beings. It got bad.
My heart was burnt to ashes, and I had to take some time away. I quit my job, and left the world of activism for a long and soul-searching break.
In time, I got my legs back under me. I learned to manage my emotions, and to separate a good person from their negative actions. I learned to see people on the other side of an issue not as enemies, but as fellow human beings with shared needs. I felt stronger, more able to empathize and connect from a place of respect and dignity, rather than anger or fear.
But I still stayed away from the activist street. Something in me was afraid to show up, afraid I might step peacefully into the arena of battle and be set immediately on fire.
These days, I have become much more tentative about what I step into. For instance, I used to watch videos and read stories incessantly about the plight of animals—about factory farming, for example, and animals like the mother cow Phoenix described. But today when I see a video link about a factory farm, I can’t even bring myself to click on it. Why?
numb. On the contrary, it’s because I’ve become sensitized. Something in me is still smoldering and I’m afraid to add gas to the coals. The wound is still open.
I wonder if anyone else can relate to being tired like this. I suspect that Joaquin Phoenix does.
Creativity is bigger than being tired.
Yes, I’m tired. But I’m not nearly as tired as the mother cow crying for her calf. She needs a voice, and she needs me to be creative. There are so many ways our human ingenuity and intelligence can solve for the painful problems in our world. Solving for her would be just one of them.
Thinking about this, I realize where all those activists ahead of me might have gone. Maybe they didn’t disappear like I assumed they did. Maybe they just stepped away for a while, did some soul searching, and came back to contribute in a different way, stronger and wiser—and more creative—than before.
Maybe they learned, like I have, that if we burn out we are no good to anyone.
There is no limit to creativity. Each of us can decide which problem calls to our heart to be creatively solved, and expand into it. Each of us can discern where we fit, and what we are able to do. We don’t all have to be in the street. We can all continue to learn, stay engaged, and share our knowledge, to “let others light their candles in it,” as Margaret Fuller would say. And each of us can stretch out a hand, to be an uplift to those walking with us if they start to become tired along the way.
Our creative potential is personal and flexible. We can speak loudly, or we can speak quietly. The only misstep would be to feel called to speak—in whatever way our voice wants to be heard—and to instead remain silent.
So tonight I contemplate, with a lighter heart, what my voice wants to say. I do feel tired, but there is time for sleep, and tomorrow is another day. If I go now, I’ll wake up in the morning energized by the sunrise, refreshed from a long night’s rest.
I’ll sit up, look at myself curiously in the mirror, and say, “Hey, what are you doing in there?” Then I’ll step inside.
Thank you, Mr. Phoenix, for so eloquently stoking the flames of our collective spirit. Thank you for asking us to step into the creative fire that does not destroy, but instead transforms, uplifts, and heals.
I, for one, am going to give it my best shot.
Another masterful expression!

Lisa Matthys (°1982, BE) is a Brussels based artist and documentary maker.
She works primarily with video and photography, sometimes with elements of installation.
Her work looks at social relations under different (political) contexts and is grounded in collaboration gestures.
PLAY! is a very unusual video work. It is not a documentary, it is a play itself. She stepped with her camera into the imagination of the kids, and became a part of their performances. The images are not objective, observational registrations of the games they’re playing but a relational, subjective registration of the free play. This subjective registration opens an artistic visual language which captivate the theatrical, emotional and raw games of children. The visual language refers to Aldo Van Eyck’s Amsterdam Playground, Johan Huizinga’s Homo Ludens, Helen Levitt’s photography and very subtle to the book Lord of the Flies.
She puts a strong emphasis on reality, with a poetic vision.
In her function as artistic-educational collaborator at Fondation A Stichting in Brussels, she often works with neighborhood children. As most of them have a migration background she tries to implement notions of their cultural legacy into the workshops. Not as a dominating element but as something playful, a recognizable tool that communicates with them.
Currently she’s working on the documentary 'Little Survivors' about Yezidi children who survived IS captivity.

I am grateful to finally have my heels off...OMG, I may never get them back on my feet again. Anyone who has ever worked a trade show knows the pain of standing on a hard floor for 9-10 hours in heels. It's insanity! I am grateful to be barefoot and walking on a nice soft carpet.
I am grateful to have met some lovely people today. It is always entertaining to me, meeting and talking with people, learning about them, where they're from, what type of work they do.about people and really get to know who they are in a very short period of time. I find people and their stories fascinating.

Melvin Howard Tormé, the holder of perhaps the greatest nickname of all time “The Velvet Fog,” was a composer, arranger, drummer, actor, and author in the mid-twentieth century. Born to Jewish Polish immigrant parents in Chicago in the 1920’s, Tormé was a child prodigy and had his first professional gig at age four, singing at the historic Blackhawk restaurant with the Coon-Sanders Orchestra and composing his first hit for popular bandleader Harry James at age thirteen called, “Lament to Love.” Tormé went on to have a prolific multi-faceted career in showbusiness, writing music for and guest-appearing as himself in TV shows starring Judy Garland, Lucille Ball, and Jerry Seinfeld. However, one of my favorite guest appearances was in thefirst released in 1988. In order to sing in front of several monsters, Daffy Duck inhales a substance called “Eau de Tormé” and sings just like Mel, who did the vocals himself.
I am always in awe of Tormé’s singing, not just because of his famously smooth voice, but also his unique blend of relaxed style popular in those days with his impeccable clarity of pitch and rhythm. Much like his idol, the incomparable Ella Fitzgerald, Tormé always sang with perfect diction and a beautiful sense of musical line. Both Fitzgerald and Tormé also had a love for scatting (a type of jazz singing using improvised vocal sounds instead of words) and would frequently improvise solos with the precision of a wind or brass instrument rather than the human voice. You can hear Mel doing some scatting in the video below as well!

Question: Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body and has several important functions. Most body calcium is stored in the bones and teeth, where it functions to support their structure. Recommendations for calcium are provided in Dietary Reference Intakes, developed by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences.
The recommended adequate intake (RAI) of calcium for adults (ages 19-50) is 1000 milligrams (mg) per day. A simple random sample of 18 adults with incomes below the poverty level gave the following daily calcium intakes.
a. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the mean calcium intake, μ, of all adults with incomes below the poverty level. Assume that the population standard deviation is 188 mg.

The Ext.ComponentLoader is perhaps one of the least discussed and lesser known features that ExtJS provides. Maybe that’s because only a few know that it can simplify how you build applications. Before showing that in an example, first I’ll briefly introduce the Ext.ComponentLoader class.
This class is available in ExtJS 4.0.0 and is used to load any content via Ext.Ajax into a Ext.Component. At the Component level, there’s a config Ext.Component.loader which accepts a configuration object or an instance of a Ext.ComponentLoader to load any remote content for the Component.
Ext.create('Ext.Component', { loader: { url: 'content.html', autoLoad: true }, renderTo: Ext.getBody() });
The main configs are the connection ones which are passed to Ext.Ajax and the renderer config. Through renderer, Component knows how to render the loaded content, which can be:
html: The response text will be added to the component as raw html, see Ext.Component#html
data: The JSON data received from the response is passed to the Ext.Component#update
component: The response is expected to be one or many Ext.Component configuration objects which are passed to Ext.container.Container#add
custom: Very much like a renderer function, this custom function is used to parse and process the response so that you can configure the Component as desired.
If html, data or component don’t fit your needs, the custom approach allows you to render pretty much anything. For example, one can build a lazy Ext.menu.Menu which will lazily load all of its menuitems from the server. That can be done with the Ext.Component.loader so when the user clicks on any first level menuitem of a Menu, based on the given parameters, the loader loads the menuitems from the server and then the given renderer builds your Menu.
Ext.define('Ux.view.Menu', { extend: 'Ext.menu.Menu', xtype: 'mymenu' minHeight: 100, // Give some space to see the load mask loader: { loadMask: { msg : 'Loading...' }, url: '/api/load_tree', renderer: function(loader, response, active){ var success = true; var target = loader.getTarget(); var items = []; var data; var i,ln; try { data = Ext.decode(response.responseText).data; // Loop through the data and build the menuitems configs for (i = 0, ln = data.length; i < ln; i++) { items.push(target.getMenuItemConfig(data[i])); } } catch (e) { success = false; } // Insert the menuitems in the Menu if (success) { target.suspendLayouts(); if (active.removeAll) { target.removeAll(); } target.add(items); target.resumeLayouts(true); } //Return true if ok, to call the callback and fire 'load' event return success; } } });
The lazy loading can be done through the Ext.Config and Ext.mixin.Bindable mixin. The Ajax parameters are exposed as an evented Ext.Config config so they can be bound through the Bindable mixin at the Menu level:
menu: { xtype: 'mymenu', bind: { extraParams: '{myData.myMenuParams}' } }
Then we have a listener at the config level, so whenever the extraParams changes, the menu loads the remote data and builds itself.
listeners: { extraparamschange: function (menu, value) { // If the menu is visible load the subitems, // if not load them at first menu show. if (menu.isVisible()) { menu.loadMenuItems(value); } else { menu.on('beforeshow', menu.loadMenuItems, menu, { single: true }); } } }, // Here you can pre-process your params before applying // them on the Loader applyExtraParams: function (myMenuParams) { if (Ext.isArray(myMenuParams)){ return { myMenuParams: myMenuParams[0] } } }, loadMenuItems: function () { this.getLoader().load({ params: this.getExtraParams() }); }
Lastly, in case you have to load the tooltips remotely, you can do it in the menu afterRender:
getMenuItemConfig: function (rec) { return { text: rec.get('title'), afterRender: function () { Ext.Ajax.request({ url: '/api/mylazymenu/tooltip/?p=' + rec.get('aParam'), success: function (response) { if (response.status = 200) { this.setTooltip(response.responseText); } }.bind(this) }); } }; }
You can find the Fiddle here
You could use Ext.Ajax to load your menu items but with the Ext.ComponentLoader you can do it in an easier, simpler and cleaner way. This, by default, provides you some renderers that you can use to build your Components content.

Spain plans another Afghan evacuation mission; arrivals ‘imminent’, but details ‘top secret’
Oceanic Villas Manilva – From €999,000
ANOTHER mission to evacuate Afghans who were unable to escape their home country in August is due to take place in the next few days, confirms Spain’s defence minister Margarita Robles, but details are being kept under wraps for safety reasons.
Afghan evacuees queuing at Kabul airport (photo: Ministry of defence)
Some of them were Spanish citizens based in the Asian country, although most were Afghans desperate to flee the newly-installed Taliban régime.
One of these was Nilofar Bayat, Afghan national women’s wheelchair basketball team captain, who was brought safely to Spain with her husband Ramish, captain of the men’s team in the sport, both of whom have been offered similar jobs with Basque Country team Bidaideak Bilbao BSR.
Another family unit successfully transported to Torrejón de Ardoz was that of a student who spent his exchange year in Madrid and whose father and sister had been government workers for the previous régime, meaning they were likely to be targeted by the Taliban.
Spain’s instant response to the political crisis, including evacuating Afghans who had no connection with the country rather than focusing entirely on its own nationals and Afghan citizens linked to them, was highly praised by the European Union as an example of global solidarity.
The next mission will see a further 200 or so Afghans flown to Spain, this time via neighbouring Pakistan and, if all goes according to plan, should be landing in Torrejón de Ardoz some time this coming week.
Foreign affairs minister José Manuel Albares, whose department is working alongside Margarita Robles’ defence ministry on the operation, recently travelled to Pakistan and to Qatar to express Spain’s wish to set up safe corridors for Afghan nationals with Spanish links – such as interpreters working for troops, and those whose family members have already been taken to Madrid – and who were unable to escape during the initial multi-national rescue mission when numerous flights operated in constant rotation with Kabul.
Qatar and Pakistan are the countries with the closest political relationship to the extreme Islamist Afghan government, according to Albares, making their cooperation of huge benefit in the evacuation mission.
Other than likely numbers, the fact that they will probably travel via Pakistan and Qatar, and that their arrival in Madrid is imminent, nothing further has been made public about Spain’s latest mission, so as not to compromise the security of those involved.

Automotive Shell V-Power Nitro + Festival
Kari Manilal visits the Nitro + Festival
The F60 whizzed past faster and faster as driver Marc Gené got more comfortable with the circuit and the setup of the car. This car brought the crowd of more than 7 000 to a standstill. After the laps, the car was returned to the pits where the crew hooked it up to numerous machines that did various things like circulate air through the intakes and download telemetry from the laps that just took placeula.
After sharing a few driving tips with Marc I humbly left the presence of one of the fastest men I had ever spoken to. I ran into a crew member with a thick British accent. Happy to find somebody in the pit who spoke English, I asked him what had been done to this car to make it run on pump fuel. He answered that nothing had been done to the car. The rev limiter had been dropped to 15 000RPM, as this is not a competition car anymore, he said, so to prolong the engine life they have to drop the rev limiter. Also, the fueling and timing map were adapted for our climate and altitude within Formula 1 specifications.
Only when the oil is heated externally and pumped back in, allowing the internals to expand fractionally will the engine turn over. This means a marginal increase of friction at 15 000RPM could result in catastrophic engine failure, however with the V-Power Nitro + there wasn’t even so much of a misfire. Andreas said that there is 25% more friction modification technology in the V-Power Nitro + than there has ever been in any other Shell fuel.
I attended this event with a personal investment, as the only fuel I ever use in my cars is Shell’s V-Power, followed by V-Power Nitro + after it was launched. I was really keen on learning about the technology I have been paying for all this time. Recently I bought a car that was designed to run on 98 octane fuel only, and to prolong engine life I would religiously mix octane booster with every tank of fuel. Thanks to this demonstration put together by Shell I don’t think I need to anymore.

So I have officially gotten my fist new desk gift. It came from the lovely Tiffany. Isn't that just like her?Always thinking of other people that girl is.......
Is everyone ready for this?Here it comes....
MINE. ALL MINE. HANDS OFF!
Side note on the desk gift line......
Morning from my new desk!Yup you heard me right, MY NEW DESK. They cleaned it off, wiped it down, and even pledged it!They just might like me....ya think?Now to decorate. What adornment should there be on my desk?I need to bring in pictures of kids, that is a must. I found this fun mug while traveling home from Houston that touted about being an Electrician, a plant maybe..........I don't know what will end up on my desk but I can almost guarantee that no matter what I end up collecting here and displaying, it will most likely end up under a few piles of paperwork, dishes and whatever else I plan on just setting down for a few minutes. Give me a week and I bet my desk goes from this....
Yup, you heard right. I'm in Houston, TX. I flew down here for the week to attend some training for some new test equipment we just bought. Fortunately I have company, a couple of the guys from the crew that I'm still working on (until I actually move upstairs to my new job) came down here too. It has been fun hanging out and having dinner and just being able to relax. Oh, yeah, the class is really interesting and I'm learning lots, you know since that's the whole reason for the trip........
Well, the delivery guy from the chinese place just showed up with my hot fresh food that I don't have to share....mmm, my tummy is rumbling with anticipation!

Customer focus lifts Clinton
The greetings and gift card chain, which operates 630 Clintons stores and 141 Birthdays outlets, has been on the retail critical list after plunging to a £10.7m annual loss amid falling sales. Clintons has almost 40 Yorkshire stores while Birthdays has nine in the region.
Mr Willson-Rymer, who is reviewing the entire business, including stores, online retailing and efficiency, said there was still much more to be done in the company’s turnaround.
However, he addapproach.”
Clintons’ improvement was offset by deteriorating performance at Birthdays, where like-for-like sales were 2.7 per cent lower than a year ago. Overall, the group’s like-for-like sales were 0.4 per cent higher.

While there are numerous treatments and sleep aids that can help combat insomnia, when insomnia is a symptom of a bigger problem, it's better to treat the root cause. Otherwise, relief is only temporary.
Yyour quality and duration of sleep. For those who don't have chronic insomnia, there are environmental changes that can lead to a better night's sleep. Here are some of the activities respondents engage in to help get some much-needed shut-eye.
Many of the people surveyed advised that fellow sufferers reach out and get help. Seeking out a professional for treatment is nothing to be ashamed of. It's important to fight the stigma, and remember you are not alone. Reaching out and seeking help can be life-saving.
G recurring thoughts keep you from drifting off, and nightmares wake you up, but there is help out there. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask for a helping hand because you're not alone. The sleep you're missing out on can have detrimental effects to both your mental and physical health and can prolong the underlying problem's rest, and at Mattress Advisor, we'.
We surveyed 1,013 people using Amazon's Mechanical Turk. Respondents had to report they'd experienced a traumatic event that negatively impacted their sleep to qualify for the survey.
For this study, we looked at a specific set of traumatic events. We used the types of trauma and violence categorian a preliminary survey. The final list of traumas we decided to explore in this project was determined based on the results of the preliminary survey. If a survey participant did not select one of the traumas presented in this project, they were disqualified from the survey.

Smart technology isn't just for making your life at home easier. It's of mental attention. Non-gelled electroencephalogram and electrodes can be processed to assess the attention level of a person and that data can be used to help them understand how to increase their mental and social awareness in situations like one might encounter in the workplace. The ability to monitor social interaction and possibly, in the future, brain activity are other noted benefits of wearable smart technology in terms of accessibility.
What's great about smart technology is that it provides mental health professional with a treasure trove of data regarding the behaviours and needs of people all over Wales. This data can not only be used to understand what is needed to increase mental well-being but also used to understand why, when, how, and where certain schizophrenic episodes take place. That kind of data is invaluable in a community like Wales where it's generally hard to access the resources needed to engage in comprehensive studies that yield actionable results.

"Whether it's a news story or television drama, human violence appals and fascinates in equal measure. Yet few of us choose to dwell on what preoccupies the mind of a perpetrator for long.
Organisation in the home and the workplace helps to channel focus and concentration. Productivity rises in environments that are not cluttered or messy due to the increased ease of performing the tasks needed.
This has been applied and proven in the workplace by multiple researchers and the same premise applies at home. A messy environment can increase the time taken to perform simple tasks, remained focused and negatively affect your stress levels. The Centre for Facilities Research released a study showing 88 percent of its participants found a messy environment to be a distraction while order promoted concentration and learning.
Having a clean house does more than help you feel accomplished and happy. It supports your physical health by reducing your chances for illnesses including allergic reactions and asthmatic flare-ups. It also reduces stress, fatigue and promotes better mental health all around.
Sometimes, we don't even realise how demanding our jobs are, but the 9-5 working routine takes a toll on both your mind and body. In today's society, a job is often more than a way of earning money. It's a part of our identity and sometimes even a lifestyle of its own. This means that many of us will end up doing more hours that we're contracted to, just in an effort to do our jobs well. In the UK, more than 5.3 million people do an average of 7.7 hours unpaid overtime every single week. Whilst chasing professional success is an admirable thing, it shouldn't come f you've been feeling consistently ill or stressed, your work could be to blame.
The majority of us work in desk-based jobs, which don't exactly seem like dangerous environments to be in. However, working 10 years in a sedentary role can actually double your risk of getting colon cancer. In some workplaces, staff might be exposed to toxic chemicals on a regular basis. In some professions, like dentistry and radiology, physical health risks like this cannot be avoided. However, it's important that employees are able to properly protect themselves from risks like this and also take breaks when they need to. In other professions such as lorry driving, expose to toxic chemicals is not generally expected. However, bladder and lung cancers are more prevalent in drivers because of the toxic chemicals in car materials.
Health issues caused by work can usually be solved by having a good work-life balance. Having sufficient time outside of work to look after ourselves whether that's by getting enough rest, exercising or socialising, is crucial to our performance at work. There are even studies that havet's in the interest of everyone that employees get enough time outside of their jobs.
This infographic from . Hopefully, it will encourage people to prioritise their health when they need to. Whilst pursuing a successful career can be great for your personal fulfilment,ime outside of working hours to properly recuperate – doing so will benefit both your health and your career.

The Hadassah Organisation mourns with the entire Jewish community, the 11 Jews murdered by a Pennsylvania.
The Pittsburgh synagogue shooting is being prosecuted as a hate crime and not as domestic terrorism. He screamed, “all Jews must die”, as he fired at members of the congregation gathered for morning Shabbat services.
The victims have been named and Hadassah International NZ sendhe Pittsburgh Jewish community our heartfelt condolences after this tragedy.
How sad for New Zealand we have no politicians willing to publicly decry anti-Semitism. In Australia both the government and their opposition have issued press statements condemning it.
There has been not a murmur from our New Zealand Labour/Green/NZ First coalition government nor from the National opposition.

There is no personal attack in my question. I am identifying two reals facts that show the eminent contributors' willingness to close questions without having taken the time to read the questions carefully and verify that it is really a duplicated question. And I can mention other facts.
This second question was proposed at the closing as being duplicated by another. However, this is not the case as shown by the 3 answers she received showing that this is a problem related to the standalone class.
It was proposed to close these two questions 1 hour after they were asked!
Isn't this speed in itself a problem?
Isn't this a consequence of the inherent speed of computers and networks?
This kind of problem could very well be avoided if the eminent contributors waited a few days before proposing a question to the closure.
Taking the time once solved many problems. The current speed is posing a new problems:
the problems are overflown
and their difficulty escapes our attention.
Look at this question: Labeling points on a circle [duplicate] it was asked at 5:56 p. m. and is closed after one hour because of a duplicate question.
However, the OP explains that it cannot apply the answer codes: and for good reason, because the other question does not solve its problem at all.
A closer look at the question shows that this new contributor did not see the essential difference between the two questions: He uses the operation \node to draw the regular polygon where the operation \draw is used in the other question.
What is the point of closing questions after an hour simply because of the question without verifying that the solutions of the so-called duplicated question apply?
The same problem arose with this question: I want a figure to be positioned above a tikzpicture
It was asked at 4:57 am and a request for closure was asked in less than an hour. However, it was different because it was another problem due to the standalone class.
I replied, then I added the standalone tag and the closing request was removed.
Why are the eminent contributors so eager to close questions without having taken the time to read them carefully?
Couldn't we leave a response time of a few days before closing a question, since its reopening is a real difficulty?
Shouldn't we change the closing rules and leave a few days of latency before we can close a question?
Can you reopen these question?
I ask for this question (Labeling points on a circle [duplicate] ) to be reopened because it makes it possible to clarify Tikz's various concepts and operations.
edited Dec 4 at 9:33
The network model is that closing is actually harder than re-opening, and that close-edit-reopen is the 'expected' pathway. In general, we've tended to slightly favour leaving open, but that can be tricky as questions vanish from the current list and thne get 'lost'. – Joseph Wright♦ Dec 1 at 20:16
Do you really mean to say "because the other question does not solve its problem at all."? How does any question solve a problem? And "@marmot voted for thinking that the question was duplicated because a question looked like it." is absolutely not true! I wrote "I wouldn't want to close the question. I guess it requires just a more input from the OP what precisely he's struggling with.". If I was you, I would not abuse the meta site to accuse others of things they did not do! – marmot Dec 1 at 21:20
@marmot Stay calm, I use an automatic translator and sometimes I do not correct his mistakes. I certainly have a hard time expressing myself because I did not want to say that. The question given in relation to the PO and which is quoted as duplicated does not solve the problem. Your closing vote is not about this issue, but the second one I mentioned – AndréC Dec 1 at 21:27
I think @marmot's concern here is that they did not vote to close any of the questions you link to. – Joseph Wright♦ Dec 1 at 21:33
Was it necessary to give some names right in the post? The whole post looks like a prosecution charge... – Christian Hupfer Dec 2 at 15:35
@ChristianHupfer CarlaTeX is described as eminent like the others. Is that an accusation? – AndréC Dec 2 at 15:53
Well, if you edit your post, wouldn't it be appropriate to mention that you made wrong accusations in an earlier version? – marmot Dec 2 at 16:14
@marmot I didn't accuse anyone, not you, not CarlaTeX or the others. I have described facts that occur frequently and disturb newcomers who see their questions closed for false reasons. Which is very unpleasant when that happens. As for you, I thought you said the opposite of what you said and I apologize again. – AndréC Dec 2 at 16:20
I have seen something similar on the english wikibooks earlier this year. A translator can be a good thing, it can also be a very bad thing by choosing to display some not so well chosen words. I suggest to just let the issue go for now. That means *All Of Us. – Johannes_B Dec 3 at 8:52
@marmot I never delete my comments, even and especially when I'm wrong. And this, for a simple and good reason: I teach my students to correct their own mistakes, so to see them, recognize them and then correct them themselves. The errors make the answers evolve and make it possible to understand its evolution, its history. To leave them visible is a voluntary act. If I am asked to delete my comments, I can delete them. Clearing comments is a bad thing because mistakes are as counter-examples as important as the examples – AndréC Dec 4 at 4:30
The network model is that closing has a higher barrier than reopening: it takes more votes to close a question than it does to reopen one, and any edits to a closed question put it in the reopen review queue. As such, the entire network model is to favour closure of unclear/possible duplicate questions. The idea there is that clarification will lead to reopening, and the number of duplicate answers/unanswered-but-open questions will be kept lower.
Leaving questions 'alone' (perhaps along with a comment) is fine, but it's hard to find such questions after any length of time unless one is very organised. At the same time, other than mods/gold badge holders, a single vote doesn't close a question. That means a consensus must have been reached.
How many votes are required for the closing and reopening? – AndréC Dec 1 at 21:34
See tex.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/close-questions: five votes to close, three to re-open – Joseph Wright♦ Dec 1 at 21:35
There are 4 votes to reopen the question and it is marked that it is mandatory to have 5, are you sure and certain that it is necessary to have 3? – AndréC Dec 1 at 22:33
@AndréC: See How do you reopen a closed question? – Werner Dec 3 at 16:16
@Werner i quote To reopen a closed question, five (5) people with at least 3000 reputation must agree that the question is suitable for the site and cast votes to reopen the question So reopening an issue is really more difficult than closing it, since those who voted for its closure are convinced that they have made the right decision and will not vote for its reopening, or even oppose it. – AndréC Dec 3 at 16:42
@AndréC: No, that's an assumption. I've voted to close before and then changed my mind after a conversation. The system is not broken... you've just been influenced by a single case that has taken longer than expected. This may have been exacerbated by a language barrier. – Werner Dec 3 at 16:48
@Werner It is indeed a hypothesis. The language barrier is a reality, that's why I generally prefer to avoid conversations in English, because I can not express my thought as finely as in French. – AndréC Dec 3 at 17:01
Disclaimer: This is a response to a series of personalized attacks. The attacks on me are gone after clarification by Joseph Wright that I did not vote to close any of the posts. This prompted me to re-edit this response.
My problems with your post
I have two main problems with your post:
A personalized criticism of @CarLaTeX. I do not think that this is appropriate, and below I will explain why.
An IMHO incorrect description of "facts".
Why do I disagree with your criticism of CarLaTeX? IMHO you just pull things out of context. Let us recall how the dialogue starts.
As you can see, in a comment I suggested something to which the OP responded that it worked.
My second comment was a response to @CarLaTeX's suggestion to write an answer. I did not want to write an answer because I thought there are already much better answers available.
From the above, my conclusion was that the questions was solved. How else would one interpret "it worked"? Isn't our main concern to solve the problems of other users?
CarLaTeX retracted her close vote.
So what precisely is your issue here? Is it legitimate to close a question because it has been solved in the comments? Yes, I think so.
The main point here is, similar to what Joseph is saying, that this is a democratic model. Even if a user closes a question by mistake (which did not even happen here), it is not the purpose of the meta site to launch personalized attacks. Rather, democracy just means that you can vote to reopen a question. As explained by Joseph, apart from the gold badge thingy (which I personally do not want to use) this site is very democratic. All voters have the same weight, and the reputation threshold to become a voter is not really huge.
BTW, how do you know that "However, it was different because it was another problem due to the standalone class." is true? After all, your answer did, at the time of writing, not get accepted. On the other hand, my comment got at least a reply that "it worked".
As for the other issue, I disagree with what you write in the sentence that starts with "A closer look". (It might however be that you mean to say the correct thing.) I just want to urge you not to try to advertze your personal opinion as a fact.
And finally, yes, of course, there are are lots of miscommunications and language problems.
I have always had difficulties with foreign languages and have therefore misunderstood. The machine translator didn't help me in this case. These machines have difficulty with complex sentences. I'm sorry. And I'll correct my question. – AndréC Dec 1 at 21:40
This question is marked duplicate of this question: tex.stackexchange.com/q/32067/138900 not of the one you quoted. It's a big problem. – AndréC Dec 1 at 22:03
You are not unaware that the vast majority of users always accept the answers of users of high reputation and they are reluctant to accept that of users of low reputation for fear of offending the most famous. – AndréC Dec 1 at 22:06
@AndréC What precisely is the "big" problem? You can always vote to reopen the question. This is how a democracy works. Some folks vote for something, and if successful, this something happens. And if then people think that this something is not a good idea, and can vote to repeal it. (And yes, high reputation users tend to get more votes, but this is a different topic.) – marmot Dec 1 at 22:08
The problem is in a place frequented mainly by mathematicians and computer scientists to see that the closing of the question is made for erroneous reasons. – AndréC Dec 1 at 22:10
@AndréC "errare humanum est" is 2000 years old, so what's the new point here? – marmot Dec 1 at 22:11
In the past, there were no computers and you couldn't close a question after an hour! – AndréC Dec 1 at 22:12
@AndréC Yes, sure, if you cannot ask questions online, you cannot close them online either. ;-) – marmot Dec 1 at 22:13
Taking the time once solved many problems. The current speed is posing a new problem: the problems are overflown and their difficulty escapes our attention. – AndréC Dec 1 at 22:18

Russell 2000: Small Caps Issue “Beta” Warning?
I often refer to the Russell 2000 and the Nasdaq as the “beta brothers”.
The reason is simple: Tech stocks and small cap stocks tend to offer a little extra juice during a bull market or a bull “swing” trade.
Currently, tech stocks are leading the way higher. The Nasdaq is inching closer to a retest of its all-time highs.
The major indexes are showing some signs of exhaustion, so I’m on guard here. Late innings of this nearly 3 month rally.

And Panavision’s Marker Karahadian demonstrated the new SSR-1 solid-state recorder that snaps onto the Genesis (or the Sony F23) just like an HDCAM SR tape deck. Plugging the unit into a docking station (dubbed the SSRD) gives it full VTR functionality, including HD SDI output.
Thorpe said camera design involves a “fundamental compromise between MTF, sharpness and aliasing,” but noted that much of the pertinent information about a camera’s resolution — the designers’ use of optical or electrical low-pass filters to tweak the captured image or the sensor’s “fill factor” (the percentage of an imaging pixel that is actually light-sensitive rather than taken up by circuitry) — is rarely published by manufacturers. He recommended the “MTF profile” as an important camera metric, suggesting that four MTF measurements be taken, at 200, 400, 600, and 800 lines of resolution, to create an accurate profile of a given camera.
Hanniball brought some horror stories with him, including the skin-of-our-teeth tale of how American Gangster was prepped for digital-cinema release. Previously, Universal had been taking a pass on digital releases of movies created without a DI — like the film-finished Breach earlier in 2007 — since it complicated the issue of creating a digital-cinema master. But by the time American Gangster hit screens, some circuits had actually gotten rid of their film projectors (!), which meant a digital release was suddenly mandatory.

native only to n Early settlers likely gave this fish its name due to its similarity to European ling and its cod-like white, flaky flesh. Lingcod meat is mild-flavoured , tender (yet firm), and has large flakes. When raw, the meat has a blue-green tint that fades to snow-white when cooke
Thes. Their bodies tend to narrow toward the tailspotting along the upper back. This colouration camouflages the fish in its rocky, seafloor habitat. Lingcods are found from Kodiak Island in the Gulf of Alaska down to Baja California, but they’re . Male lingcods typically do not stray far from their birthplace, but females migrate seasonally to spawn.
Lingcod is harvested along with other groundfish species in the West Coast groundfish trawl fishery. They’re also harvested in bottom longline and salmon troll fisheries. Because this fish is extremely aggressive and puts up on an impressive fight (and provide a tasty meal), lingcod is also a highly valued sport fish.
Coldfish’s lingcod is available fresh or frozen, head on/head off, and as fillets, steaks, and portions. Custom cuttings to your specifications are also available.

The healing potential of psychedelic medicines is not limited to the hours you spend in an altered state of consciousness. Most of the inner transformation actually takes place after you have returned from the journey. This period of integration unfolds in the subsequent days, weeks, months, and even years.
Everyone’s integration process is different. No one-size-fits-all formula exists. That being said, there are general tips that you may find useful as you transition back into everyday life. Feel free to pick and choose the recommendations below that most resonate with you.
Jot down key takeaways -- what you learned, what emotions and memories came up, what confused you. Don’t worry about making sense of it all. Just get it down on paper, preferably within 24 hours of returning to ordinary waking consciousness. If you don’t feel like writing, create an audio recording on your phone.
In the following weeks and months, you may wish to visit your initial documentation of the experience. The second time around, you might find yourself “connecting the dots” in a new way. A vision that made no sense at first may yield a deeper hidden meaning. As your integration unfolds, you’ll thank yourself for recording the key elements of the journey while it was still fresh in your mind.
#2: Rest.
Psilocybin triggers communication between brain regions that do not typically interact with one another.
In the weeks and months after a journey…
#3: Do your homework.
Many psychedelic medicine sessions are accompanied by a carefully selected playlist. Certain pieces of music may evoke powerful sensations, insights, or visions during your journey. Listening to these songs afterward can bring you back to that “journeying headspace,” inviting you to re-visit and further unravel potent aspects of your experience.
#5: Find a creative outlet.
You may struggle to find words that adequately describe all the sights, sounds, and sensations of your journey. As you integrate, it might make sense for you to process the experience through a medium that, like the journey itself, transcends human language.
Find a creative medium that speaks to you. Maybe you feel called to channel the visions from your journey into a collage, painting, or film. Perhaps you’re drawn to dance, song, or musical instruments. Look for whatever gets you out of your thinking mind and into a state of flow. From knitting to baking to DJing, creative expression can take any form. When you cease to analyze human experience through linear verbal language, your intuitive emotional side awakens, and subtle processing can occur.
Psychedelic journeys and deep meditative states tend to yield strikingly similar effects, among them feelings of peace, bliss, and oneness with all. Both experiences lead to) -- a region of the brain whose overactivity correlates with depression and anxiety. Put another way, meditation and psychedelics induce similarly altered states of consciousness.
If you ever attempted to meditate prior to your psychedelic experience but couldn’t really “get into it,” consider giving the practice another go now. Your journey was a glimpse of where a committed meditation practice can take you. Over time, meditation helps to transform altered states of consciousness -- that is, feelings of joy, connection, and gratitude commonly experienced during a psychedelic journey -- into permanent traits.
#7: Connect with a support network.
The psychedelic journey is one that you take alone, but that doesn’t mean that integration has to be solitary as well. Access community support and wisdom through online forums and in-person psychedelic integration circles (supportive spaces in which people gather to share their experiences). This site is a good place to start. Additionally, use Facebook and meetup.com to search for psychedelic community groups in your area. If you have been to a Truffles Therapy retreat, join the conversation with the specialist Facebook group or integration page..

Geoff Southworth Posted June 30 Hello fellow reefers! Recently I had a rough experience with my 34 gallon solana all in one tank. Right before bedtime my wife noticed that the floor was wet in my hallway. We followed it to my aquarium and I instantly went into panic mode. The tank was leaking slowly but steadily so my wife ran to get buckets and towels while I ran to the fish store to pick up a new tank. I grabbed the closest 29 gallon tank and rushed home. I quickly placed the water and corals in the new tank along with all of my apex equipment and I sat and looked at my new mess. Aftetime to upgrade to a bigger reef tank compete with overflow and sump. The problem is, no one makes the size tank I need for the dedicated space and I don’t want to spend $1500 for just the tank. So I have decided to make it myself. I ordered and received my 1/2” glass and will be building it this next week. The tank is 32” wide, 20” tall and 18” deep making it about a 50 gallon rimless tank. The frame if the stand is made from 2x4s and will be dressed with stained oak to make it look nice. Here is what I have so far. Hope you enjoy the process! 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

Less Lost in Translation (of Google Ads Campaigns)
Posted on June 7, 2019 July 8, 2020 by Maddy Goeser
Since I was a kid, I've been very intrigued by other languages, especially Spanish. As I watched Dora, got signed up for Spanish summer school and began to meet people from different backgrounds, I knew that I wanted to become fluent. I eventually decided to major in both Marketing and Spanish during college and hoped that I would someday find a career where I could utilize both skills. Don't get me wrong, I was ecstatic when I found out that I got a job in Digital Marketing. I just didn't think I would have a chance to use my language skills.
Fast forward just a few months, and I found myself working with a client who was selling their product in Southern California. From a quick look at search terms, I noticed a great deal of them were in Spanish. Based on this initial discovery, there were two major ways to move forward with this.
Simply switch the campaign settings to detect the user's browser setting preferred language. This would keep everything in the campaign (keywords, ad copy, etc) the same but would be able to catch searches from anyone with their browser language set to English or Spanish. This can be a quick fix for anyone advertising in a multilingual location.
While option 1 would be much easier & quicker, we decided to go with option 2 which we knew would have a greater effect on our success. With the help of my college BFF WordReference, Google Trends and a bunch of other handy tools (such as Google Keyword Planner, SpanishDict, and our own internal processes) I translated the campaign completely.
>> You can also check out my post: 5 Tools to Translate Paid Search Ads and Campaigns
With successful campaign translation, you can expect to:
Reach a whole new group of people in a more meaningful way – in their native language
Increase overall CTR – people are more likely to click on an ad that they understand
Increase conversions, especially if your landing page is in the same language as your ad
Lower CPCs (sometimes) – if your competitors are not bidding on keywords in this new language in your targeted location, you will have less competition which can lead to lower CPCs
A search campaign translation includes changes to:
Positive keywords
Browser language (include the translated language and any other popular languages in the area)
A few months later, another client asked about testing out new Spanish-speaking markets. With additional research, we decided that Brazil would be a good place to start. Now, Spanish is quite similar to Portuguese, but I did not have confidence that translating our ads to a language that "seems kind of similar" was a foolproof method. A lot could go wrong… if our translation was incorrect, we could appear that we don't know what we're doing, we could say something offensive by using a colloquial term incorrectly, the list goes on and on.
Fortunately, Google Ads recently released a new feature where they are able to translate whole campaigns to the language of your choice. While I wouldn't usually implicitly trust the generic Google Translate, I have more faith in this tool because you are required to provide a company overview, your target audience and the goal of your campaign. With this extra context it would be less likely to provide an inaccurate translation. While I haven't yet received the results from this campaign, it's great to know that I have a tool like this to help me reach a greater audience in an increasingly diverse online search world.

Kicking off May 31st!
What is a Challenge Village?
Villages are co-ed small group fellowships that are for students and neighborhood family outreaches. Villages meet for fellowship, Bible study, outreach (freshmen, neighbors, etc.), prayer-walking, and fun.
In light of all of the COVID19 pandemic restrictions for meetings, we’re asking everyone to please call or text to RSVP before attending so we know who all is planning to attend and so you can find out where the group will meet.
If you’re in town at all this summer, make plans now to be a part of a Village!

This muddy imagery annoys researchers who are interested in the actual history of the Middle Ages. Proper historians often dismay of the term “Dark Ages,” much preferring the term Middle Ages. They argue, sensibly, that much happened in this time period that is worthy of note. It wasn’t all turnips and mud.

ITT we post stories about our usernames.
I came up with BirchBoy (originally Birch Boy) years ago when I was at a friend's house playing Halo 2. We were making characters and I had to think of a name, and I think I was thinking of either birch beer or a birch tree/wood (we might've been drinking birch beer), so I named my elite Birch Boy. That's also my gamertag (except someone somehow already had it, forcing me to make it B1RCH BOY). Apparently it's also the name of a Canadian syrup brand.
Mine's easy. Rina = my name.
Date I first saw DT. 7/31/09 But I think most of you guys knew that.
It's my name, so...
oh, cool... I figured it was your zip code.
mine is hebrew for joshua and the 4 was added because when I first signed up for email (back in the Juno days) the name was already used as was 1, 2 and 3.
The first forum I checked out, Yesfans, all ready had the name I wanted, Your Move(a Yes song), so in a pinch I just put in lonesoul. I quickly realized that was stupid, and it led to lonestar. Once I found my original avatar, I kinda grew into it. I'm not actually a spaceballs freak, though I do enjoy the movie. Sorry guys.
Old nickname from elementary school, I've used it as a screen name since I was like 10.
At least we won't forget ours, right?
What's the 93?
A parasite that attatched itself to my name, and I can't get rid of it.
And thus, the UMH was born.
I just needed a user name and I found a cool Space Invaders avatar. It made sense.
It doesn't now that I have the avatar I have now, but meh, it works.
I let my hamster do some keyboard crawling and this was the result.
When I was in third grade I got a computer and was playing netmech on the zone. I just took Reaper and KK is my initial = Karolis K.
Short for your "eminence is dead".
Just a random thing from middle school. We figured a skydiving ninja would be a pretty badass, frightening thing to deal with, so I started using it as a screen name and I haven't really felt like changing it ever.
My name stems from a story Alex Lifeson told by Neil Peart in the Power Windows tourbook. He was King Lerxst, King of Shmegland. So he declared that monday's was a day off from recording and named it Big Al day(For the Producer of the album). So I wanted to use this as my Email so I tried Lerxst, KinkLersxt ect.. Until I came up with Kingshmegland.
I saw this name in an old video game (Phantasy Star IV) and thought it was cool so I started using it as a username everywhere.
Derivative of my website - nothing earth shattering here.
I took the Silmarillion, looked in the back at the elvish name-sections, and made faemir.
When I saw this thread title I was hoping you would respond because I was trying to figure out what yours meant.
Mine is simply the same IM handle I've used since 2003. dreamtheater (obvious) and vt = Virginia Tech.
I got sick of using my high school nickname for my handle, especially since I had to start explaining it, so when I got accepted to VT for grad school, I decided I needed a new online persona.
Oh, really? I always thought it was Chinese, which is why I usually refer to you as Jan Lee (over Anglicized pronounciation of the pinyin version). Heh. The more you know...
My dog's name is Pogo.
i was trying to think of a new name for online things and all i could come up with was juice but im still open for ideas to change it on the next thing i join.
I'm sure you know, but X'ian actually is a Chinese city (which gave my good friend's Chinese girlfriend a good dose of mirth).
How exactly do you pronounce it? When TDoL talk, we both pernounce it as Zian-al.

End of the road for in-car navigation?
The way cars are stuffed with electronics these days can be as much a curse as a blessing. For instance, there is a ten-fold difference in the development cycles of consumer electronics, on the one hand, and motor manufacturing, on the other. Electronic gadgets typically get updated every six months, while new car models stay in production, largely unchanged, for four or five years at a time.
But it is sthat have had the most pervasive influence on navigation of late. Such services are everyday necessities for a generation that treats location-based activities and geo-tagged tweets as indispensable aspects of their everyday lives. In-car navigation makers have to provide them, or risk becoming irrelevant. Yet, while adding them costs pennies rather than pounds, equipment makers have tended to price them as if they were something special users are lucky to receive.
But here is the dilemma. None of the navigation systems available in cars—not even the portable devices that are suction-cupped to the windscreen and plugged into a lighter socket—can match the richness and versatility of the mapping and navigation apps that are appearing on smartphones and tablet computers.
So much so, many motorists have become less than happy with their in-car purchases. Despite a majority of owners saying their present GPS devices are better than the ones in their previous cars, satisfaction with them generally has declined, according to J. D. Power and Associates, a consumera.
With more than 20,000 responses, the company’s annual satisfaction survey identifies six factors motorists are unhappy about: ease of use, routing information, display screen, system speed, spoken directions and voice activation. On average, their satisfaction with their GPS navigation equipment last year was 681 (out of 1,000 points), down 13 points from the year before. Owners were especially frustrated with the complexity of the menu systems, the voice controls and the procedure for inputting destinations.
So, too, is MapQuest Mobile, which has improved no end since first introduced. It maintains its pleasing, uncluttered interface with a ribbon-toolb various local services. It has a voice look-up feature that works surprisingly well. But the app remains saddled with maps that simply cannot compare (none can) with Google’s for accuracy.
Another car-navigation app your correspondent often finds himself using is Waze—a free, community-supported service that works by encouraging users to share information about traffic jams, accidents and police activities as they encounter them. Waze even lets users chat with one another, turning navigation into a social game, complete with points awarded that earn rewards. Like all community-supported services, Waze’s weakness is that it depends on a critical number of users, in any given area, sharing their data. Even in a crowded conurbation like west Los Angeles, that can be a problem. Still, these are early days
The legislation is on the cards that would require carmakers to install video screens in all new vehicles, so owners can plug in smartphones, rear-view cameras, video players, and other accessories available on the after-market. In a year or two, having to pay an extra $2,000 for a clunky built-in navigation system could be a thing of the past.

Over the years, surveys have shown the importance of good documentation in how developers choose and use open source.
In the inaugural Google Season of Docs (GSoD) program in 2019, the program received nearly 450 technical writer applications and over 50 technical writers were accepted.
- What is Google Season of Docs?
- My GSoD experience
If you meet these qualifications, then you can apply.
You can get a stipend
Working closely with a mentor on the Season of Docs project presents an opportunity to securing a rich source of recommendations and referrals.
5 Tips to ace your GSoD application
Here are 5 tips to help you prepare and create a strong application for the Season of Docs program.
Create and publish articles on your blog
Google and the proposed mentors of the project you want to work on work on the project. This means they want to see a good number of well-written documentation and articles you've created.
- For each project you choose, join the organizations' communication channel, and let the maintainers of the project know about your interest in that project. That way, youmentor. Also, note that mentors don't choose people just because they have the necessary skills. They also select applicants because they believe they can work with them as well. So when you send a message to a mentor, be explicit about exactly what you need and most importantly don't get upset that they did not respond immediately because most of the mentors are volunteers who have other full time jobs.
- Do not wait to be spoon-fed. Carry out a lot of research about the project. Discover and understand everything you need to know and if you have any concerns, reach out to the proposed mentor of that project for help or ask other members of that community.
- Most importantly, write down anything you discover during your research that will be helpful if you get accepted to work on the project or information that will help to improve your proposal.
A lot of people don't know this, but writing a proposal is vital. It gives you a clear understanding of the project goal, the timeline it will take for you to complete the project, what you need to know, and so on.
The Season of Docs program is not like Google Summer of Coe Open Source project of interest. But making a contribution can definitely improve your chance of getting accepted, so try to do so.
Stay active in the community after the application deadline
After my proposal was accepted by the VideoLAN organization, my mentors and I agreed on the goals that I was expected to achieve during the Google Season of Docs program.
- Restructure the documentation.
- Migrate the user documentation to Gitlab using Sphinx and ReadtheDocs.
I learned a lot more about the VideoLAN organization and VLC, I found out that VLC has more features I never knew about, and I learned how to use the Sphinx documentation platform and restructure text.

"Levy’s writing and the success of his management at Pixar are both grounded in the quality evident in To Pixar and Beyond: humility." The New York Times
Hired by Steve Jobs in 1994 to act as CFO, Lawrence Levy helped turn Pixar -- then all-but-unknown and struggling financially -- into a huge success. In this engaging memoir, he describes the initial obstacles to Pixar's success, including the distrust that staff felt for Jobs. Detailing the transformation that the animation company underwent, from the brink of failure to a Hollywood success, To Pixar and Beyond provides a business-oriented insider perspective. It also serves as a worthy complement to David Price's studio history The Pixar Touch and Walter Isaacson's biography, Steve Jobs.Dilbert co (Kirkus Reviews).
In this follow-up to Pogue's Basics: Tech and Pogue's Basics: Life, bestselling author David Pogue sharesmoney easy. From small ways to save (inflate those tires to increase your gas mileage) to keeping financial windfalls safe from the taxman and avoiding scams, these suggestions are written for a broad audience, so whether you're new to personal finance or you have some experience, you'll likely find a few things to try.
From its earliest discovery, gold has influenced human history, and not necessarily for the better.

My phone being tapped daily, claims TN BJP president
Tamil Nadu BJP president and former IPS officer K. Annamalai on Thursday said his phone is being tapped on a daily basis by the state intelligence department.
He said this while addressing the mediapersons at.
Annamalai said that his phone was under surveillance round the clock by the Tamil Nadu intelligence wing and that it was totally illegal.
He also said that surveillance against him has gone to the next level.
The former IPS officer who had quit his service to join politics said that the intelligence wing of the Tamil Nadu police was dominating the proceedings of the police force.
He said that technically, the DGP law and order was in charge of the police department. “…but the ADGP, Intelligence of Tamil Nadu police was dominating the state police department and it was an unfortunate development,” he asserted.
“When the chief of the intelligence wing of the state police takes the role of the decision-maker, the department becomes politically inclined. The messing up of Lavanya suicide case was due to the involvement of the intelligence department and if this continues, policing in the state will get politicised,” he added.
When asked whether ample security was provided to the BJP state headquarters where a petrol bomb attack had taken place in the early hours of Thursday, Annamalai said: “Normally, I don’t talk about my personal security and of the party office. As you asked, I will tell you that after this government assumed office in Tamil Nadu, my security was reduced from Y category security to X category security where only one gunman is provided.”
He also said that the security provided to the BJP state headquarters on both sides of the lane was withdrawn, adding he was not “aware of the reasons behind those decisions”.

On this day, the last important day of primaries in this important election year, a brief rumination. Skip if you dislike the prosaic, pedantic, annoying parts that are required.
Surely not voting is too a form of protest. The problem is, it is the least effective form of protest because it not only abdicates power, it confers power to those who would use your protest to their own advantage. You don't get your way and out of "principled conviction" dissociate from the process, however rigged, corrupt, and manipulated it may be, and you are left with nothing more than being the victim of a system that controls you further because you quit. Quitters are giving away their power to those who will gladly take it.
President Obama hoped for this kind of accommodation and compromise and was met with nothing but intransigent and unrepentant obstruction. HIs opponents crafted a message to proclaim him the problem, unwilling in his imperial Presidency to create compromise. Orwell never had a better example for doublespeak and misrepresentation, but there is nothing new here. "Principle" can be just another word for wanting only your way or preventing another from having her or his choices at any cost. The line between narcissism and nihilism gets narrower in every instance of uncompromised conviction. Religion doesn't necessarily teach such incontrovertibility but its surely one place in which political intolerance meets its worthy ally in the fight against inclusion and diversity. Fuel politics with religious or religious-like conviction and the blend is nearly always toxic. To be diverse we actually have to agree to live in disagreements and _somehow_ make room, still more room for everyone. Just when differences become intolerable should be made more exception than rule and we need to take more seriously when a difference makes a difference. Tolerance isn't about liking or approving, it's about what we can forebear, endure, and include despite our differences't like the process join to change it. If you don't know any of those other folks, it''ter "principled"p'---yes, it is---beca
Not a day passes without each of us confronting the problem of evil. We witness human beingn commit atrocities and then acts of nearly incomprehensible altruism. Both sorts of behavior are routinely attributed to religious motivations, ideas, and doctrines. To say that those acts for worse are not truly religious or true to religion is but another religious claim that religion is only about being good. Write over the human shadow whenever you can and religion will suffice to explain that evil is deviance and goodness our true project. How’s that working out?
If you are not appalled, I think you’ll find in your religion a reason to agree with them. You wouldn't need to be religious to be appalled. But surely religion provides every reason we need for nearly anything we want. We’re still left struggling to explain the facts of evil and by that we mean the contumacious intention to inflict suffering on others. When religion is posited as the remedy rather than the cause of such infliction we’re just as liable to dismal results as we are to saintly responses. We needn’t be religious to enact either but religion more often than not comes into play.
Fewer people are asking me, the University Religion Professor, how millions of Americans take the likes of Donald Trump or Senator Cruz to be persons with the seriousness, judgment, We all seem to know that people can be that angry, embittered, and willing to act punitively and violently against our fellow humans. Last night hundreds of thousands voted again for Mr. Trump and for Senator “Patrol the Neighborhoods” Cruz for the leader of the “free” world. Putatively sober politicians, like Jeb Bush, have now endorsed Cruz in an effort to stop Trump. It’s hard to reason but not difficult to believe. Belief is nearly always an impediment to better thinking.
I’ve written before about this and defer to the many fine pieces of political punditry addressing historical circumstances and our political failures. But few have waded into our religious ineptitude as contributing to the failure to explain our selves. In America we can simply be religious, our failures to explain sensibly can be devoutly riveted to theological stupefactions protected by 1st Amendment speech.
Let me be plain about what I just said in case I failed the usual tests of philosophers and theologians to be transparent. But first: a thought-twister. Never has so much been written about so little that is so important and has still failed us. The ‘much written’ is theology, the ‘so little’ that is ‘so important’ is evil in the name of religion, and that theology has failed us is simple enough: its explanations for evil are not only anachronistic but further crippling our ability to think about the problem. Western religion particularly is approaching insolvency in lieu of more modern abundant, can we say, honest understandings of our human origins and what lies within our nature. And this is not for the lack of exuberant, copious rhetoric. I am professionally aware of how many books are in theological libraries and how poorly the theologians serve us. An ever-so brief review here.
Just how we study evidence makes all the difference. Eliade, like his Protestant doppleganger Rudolf Otto before him, create religious models insofar as the assertion, the premise is taken to be a self-evident truth (there is, you see, This Sacred Thing), which the evidence must then invariably go on to verify. Are we encouraged, nay, required first to doubt that premise? And what are we to do with the evidence that does not fit the model other than secure some further reason to verify the model? Could there be a more plausible alternative explanation posited? One that might better explain the evidence? Right. I didn’t think so either. Religions don’t take kindly to explanations that don’t accede to their assertions, their beliefs first. Faith follows because reasoned contrariety is only admitted if you concede to faith as a category of knowing. Really? In the 21st century faith can be knowing? None of this is news. Much less good news.
The common assumption that directs our explanation is simple enough: sentient life desires and all information about being human flows from that fact. Should we begin here in desire rather than in goodness, sin, law, or God’s plan, we begin to create an alternative explanation for our least edifying selves.

Trivia In the early 1980s, screenwriter Gary Goddard was commissioned to write a script for a film based on Dazzler to star Bo Derek. The project fell though, and Goddard instead wrote the film Tarzan, the Ape Man for Derek.
Dazzler was also rumo and portrayed by Canadian country singer Beverley Mahood. Mahood didn't get a chance to film any scenes as her character was ultimately cut out of the final script.
X-Men: Apocalypse's actress Sophie Turner has hinted at the possibility of none other than Taylor Swift to be the one to portray the character.

Editors Choice Roma community in Turkey hard hit by economic and social ramifications of...
The Roma community in Turkey, considered to be one of the country’s most soci communitie economically as their sources of income have dwindled, the Ahval news website reported.
The majority of Roma did not have a regular income before the pandemic, and their income depended on collecting recyclables, playing street music and selling flowers. Amid the pandemic and the curfews, the Roma community has found it difficult to continue working and feel condemned to increasing poverty.
Fahrettin Şinnik, a Roma flower seller, said they could no longer make ends meet. He said they had not been able to pay their bills and rent for several months. “My income depended on selling flowers,” he said. “But now nobody wants to open their car windows and buy flowers although we wear masks and gloves to ensure some level of hygiene.”
His wife Necibe Şinnik added that most days they were hungry. The Şinnik family is not alone as other Roma, whose livelihoods depended on recycling, said they were cut off from their only source of income with the new measures.
İlhan Meşe, a paper collector who lives in İstanbul, said because of COVID-19 measures, they were no longer able to continue. An added difficulty came after the government prohibited individuals over 65 years of age from going outsidMeşe risks facing a fine each time he steps outside his front door as he is older than 65.
He said he had no choice and that his new source of income was collecting masks that were thrown on the streets. “I collect masks and properly dispose of them to avoid the spread of the virus,” he said. “Think about it: I depend on collecting possibly infected materials!”
Meşe said he collects the masks and other materials and sells them to recycling and garbage companies. He added that he faced a dilemma: either stay home and comply with the rules at the risk of extreme poverty, or go out to work in unsanitary conditions at the risk of being fined.
Elmas Arus, the chairwoman of the Zero Discrimination Association, said this dilemma was quite common and that they had observed an increase in fines issued to street vendors, flower sellers and scrap collectors during the pandemic.
“Most fines issued to people working on the streets were given to Roma because most of these jobs are done by them,” she said, adding, “They are victims of poverty.” Arus also claimed that Roma men have been subjected to increasing police harassment.
Losing income is not the only problem the Roma have to deal with during the pandemic. Most Roma children have lost access to education because they cannot participate in remote learning. Turkey’s remote education system EBA TV does not work on old televisions.
Many Roma households do not have the broadband Internet necessary to watch online classes, according to Hacer Foggo, founder of Deep Poverty Network. She added that “thousands of children were locked out of education for six months, and there is still no good solution in place.”
Arus pointed out that before the pandemic, 60 percent of Roma children had access to education, which has decreased to 15obtained by various NGOs, decreased access to education has led to increased child marriages. In the current situation 34 neighborhoods with Roma populations have noted a spike in child marriages, according to Arus.
The World Dictionary of Minorities and Indigenous Peoples said the Roma community in Turkey lives mostly in ghettos. Poverty and social exclusion are widespread among the Roma, and the majority are subjected to discrimination with regards education, employment and housing. Earlier this year, the Council of Europe urged Turkey to take steps to stop the further marginalization of the Roma amid the pandemic.

Mobile game publisher Rovio is planning to build theme parks in China revolving around its hit product Angry Birds, months after a local amusement park in the country sought to cash in on the franchise’s popularity with its own real-life version of the Angry Birds game.
This made news last September, when a Chinese theme park opened a new attraction called “The Real Version of Angry Birds,” allowing visitors to catapult bird-shaped balls at targets with a large slingshot. The theme park did not receive permission from Rovio to create the game, Chen said. But Rovio is in talks with the Chinese theme park on possible partnerships, he added.
Rovio’s own theme parks in China will be more like the one offered in Finland, which features a combination of rides and large play structures for children. But the company also wants to incorporate some digital elements visitors’ experience at the parks, Chen said. This will include exclusive Angry Birds content, such as animations or game levels, beamed to smartphones.
