Cyprus to sell its Mi-35PM attack helicopters to Syria?
According to a report by the Greek Military website Defencenews.gr, the Republic of Cyprus is interested in selling its 11 Mil-35PMs due to their relatively low operational availability.
The Russian manufacturing company is delivering the necessary spare parts at a very slow rate, regardless of the Follow-On-Support agreement that the two sides signed in 2014.
Any sale, however, must be agreed with Russia as the End-User License must be issued by the latter to the new owner should the sale goes on.

Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C.
In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt).
In a separate bowl, combine the eggs with sugar, oil, milk and vanilla extract.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisk until they’re incorporated but do not over mix.
Fill the cupcake liners ¾ of the way full. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of a cupcake. Allow cupcakes to cool down in the pan. Be sure they are completely cooled before frosting and decorating.
Cover each cupcake with a thin layer of chocolate frosting.
Using the image as a guide, create a turkey design on each cupcake. Start by using a mini Reese’s cup as the turkey’s head, adhering the eyes, beak, and wattle with a bit of frosting. Then use the candy corn to create the turkey’s tail.
- Use a toothpick to grab a small amount of frosting to use as glue for the turkey’s face! Clean tweezers can be helpful for dealing with small pieces too.
- The cupcake batter will not rise up well if it’s mixed too much. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until no dry spots remain.
- Putting frosting on warm cupcakes is a recipe for a melty disaster. Be patient and wait for the cupcakes to cool down completely before starting to decorate. Along the same theme, you may want to keep the candy in the fridge until you’re ready to use it so it doesn’t melt in your hands.

Tyreek Hill is taking the over.
Days after Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones predicted the team would win “five-plus” rings, his teammate upped the ante during an appearance on ESPN.
“Well, I’m not gonna say he’s telling a fib,” Hill said, via Adam Teicher of ESPN.com. “But Chris Jones, he’s definitely — he’s definitely a man of his word, and we’re definitely creating something special here in KC, so I don’t see why not.
“Why say five? Why not go seven rings? Right now we’re just chasing [Michael] Jordan, so that’s what we do. So I’m going over five, and I’m saying seven.”
That would be quite an accomplishment, since only two franchises have won six Super Bowls (the Steelers and Patriots). Jordan won six titles with the Chicago Bulls.
That said, they have quarterback Patrick Mahomes under contract through 2031, so there’s time for them to build on last year’s championship, even if it was just their first.

Whereas the World Well being Group hopes COVID-19 will quickly now not be thought-about a public well being emergency, it has warned the virus itself is right here to remain.
Three years after the primary case was recognized in China in December 2019, specialists say the world should study the teachings of this pandemic to arrange for potential future outbreaks.
Is the pandemic practically over?
“Now we have come a good distance. We’re hopeful that sooner or later subsequent 12 months, we can say that COVID-19 is now not a worldwide well being emergency,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus mentioned on Wednesday.
“This virus is not going to go away. It is right here to remain and all international locations might want to study to handle it alongside different respiratory diseases,” he added.
Round 90 p.c of the worldwide inhabitants now have some stage of immunity in opposition to COVID, both by means of vaccination or earlier an infection, the WHO estimates.
The weekly dying toll is round a fifth of what it was a 12 months in the past and the remaining deaths are largely amongst those that will not be absolutely vaccinated, it says.
The WHO’s emergency committee on COVID will meet in January to debate the standards for whether or not it nonetheless constitutes a public well being emergency of worldwide concern.
Can COVID be eradicated?
Some specialists anticipate that COVID will ultimately transfer from a pandemic to an endemic stage, through which it will proceed to flow into extensively and spark common resurgences, as is at present the case with seasonal flu.
However there are a variety of the explanation why the whole eradication of COVID seems to be unlikely.
Smallpox in the meantime stays the one human infectious illness to be formally eradicated, which was declared by the WHO in 1980.
“To eradicate a virus, the illness should be clinically seen, there should be no animal reservoir, and there should be a extremely efficient vaccine that provides life-long safety,” French microbiologist Philippe Sansonetti instructed a convention at France’s Pasteur Institute final week.
“COVID-19 ticks all of the unsuitable the packing containers,” he added.
For COVID, isolation measures are undermined by the truth that some contaminated individuals exhibit no signs, that means they aren’t conscious they need to isolate.
Not like smallpox, COVID will be transmitted to animals, the place it could possibly flow into earlier than later reinfecting people, making a virus reservoir that’s troublesome to snuff out.
And whereas COVID vaccines assist stop in opposition to extreme types of the illness, they provide little safety in opposition to reinfection—and their effectiveness wanes with time, that means booster doses are required.
Greatest dangers forward?
Etienne Simon-Loriere, head of the Pasteur Institute’s evolutionary genomics of RNA viruses unit, mentioned that “at present the virus is being allowed to flow into far an excessive amount of”.
Each new an infection raises the prospect the virus might mutate to develop into extra transmissible or extreme, he warned.
“Even when we’d all wish to consider it, we’ve no cause to assume that it’ll develop into extra pleasant,” Simon-Loriere mentioned.
And there’s a looming risk that new infectious illnesses might leap from animals over into people.
For the reason that emergence of SARS, MERS and COVID, “an excellent dozen coronaviruses have been present in bats that would doubtlessly infect people,” warned Arnaud Fontanet, a specialist in rising illnesses on the Pasteur Institute.
Greater than 60 p.c of rising illnesses are zoonotic, that means they are often transmitted between people and animals.
The danger from zoonotic illnesses has elevated as a result of human-induced upheavals to the animal world together with deforestation, local weather change and mass livestock farming.
Preparation for subsequent pandemic?
Fontanet mentioned that within the case of a attainable future pandemic, “so much can and should be achieved at the start of the outbreak”.
He gave the instance of Denmark, which imposed a lockdown early throughout the first wave of the COVID pandemic, permitting it to later raise the measure extra rapidly.
One other key issue is the flexibility to rapidly take a look at for rising illnesses, permitting these contaminated to isolate as quickly as attainable.
“Sadly, at present we’re nonetheless reacting, not anticipating,” Fontanet mentioned.
The 194 WHO member states have agreed to start out thrashing out an early draft of a pandemic treaty in February aiming to make sure the flawed response that turned COVID into a worldwide disaster doesn’t occur once more.

Rethinking the Meat-Guzzler
Key Excerpts from Article on Website of New York Times
Posted: February 17th, 2008
A sea change in the consumption of a resource that Americans take for granted may be in store something cheap, plentiful, widely enjoyed and a part of daily life. And it isnt oil. Its meat. Global demand for meat has multiplied in recent years, encouraged by growing affluence and nourished by the proliferation of huge, confined animal feeding operations. These assembly-line meat factories consume enormous amounts of energy, pollute water supplies, generate significant greenhouse gases and require ever-increasing amounts of corn, soy and other grains, a dependency that has led to the destruction of vast swaths of the worlds tropical rain forests. The worlds total meat supply was 71 million tons in 1961. In 2007, it was estimated to be 284 million tons. Per capita consumption has more than doubled over that period. (In the developing world, it rose twice as fast, doubling in the last 20 years.) At about 5 percent of the worlds population, [Americans] process (that is, grow and kill) nearly 10 billion animals a year, more than 15 percent of the worlds total. Growing meat (its hard to use the word raising when applied to animals in factory farms) uses so many resources that its a challenge to enumerate them all. An estimated 30 percent of the earths ice-free land is directly or indirectly involved in livestock production. Livestock production generates nearly a fifth of the worlds greenhouse gases more than transportation. Though some 800 million people on the planet now suffer from hunger or malnutrition, the majority of corn and soy grown in the world feeds cattle, pigs and chickens.

BOSTON – Missing a few shots more than usual, it happens to all NBA players who are known as scorers.
But for Isaiah Thomas, the first true sign that it was not going to be his night was when he started missing free throws, a rare sight when he’s at the line.
Even though Thomas had a strong fourth quarter, all those misses from the field and from the line eventually led to a missed opportunity for Boston as the Celtics blew a 13-point lead in losing 99-94 to Detroit.
“It was one of those nights where nothing would fall,” Thomas, who tallied four of Boston’s seven missed free throws, told reporters. “Whether it be lay-ups, mid-range shot, a three-pointer, even free throws. I usually don’t miss free throws.”
Thomas misfiring was consistent with the shooting by most of the Boston Celtics who collectively were 37.4 percent from the field, and even worst (6-for-28, 21.4 percent) on threes.
We’ve seen the Celtics struggle shooting the ball most of this season.
Boston came into the game ranked 25th out of 30 NBA teams, in shooting percentage (.429).
And while Thomas has had his share of rough nights shooting the ball, Wednesday was a bit rougher than usual.
“There are going to be nights like that,” said Thomas, an 89.9 percent free throw shooter who was 9-for-13 (69.2 percent) against Detroit. “But I tried to keep at it. It opened up a little for me (in the fourth quarter), but not enough.”
Here are the Stars, Studs and Duds from Wednesday night’s game.
The former Boston College star led all scorers with 24 points on 8-for-15 shooting along with six assists and just one turnover. Jackson was especially good for the Pistons in the fourth quarter, scoring nine points which led all Detroit players in fourth quarter scoring.
This was not one of Drummond’s best games, but he did major damage to Boston’s defense when it mattered most. He scored just 13 points and grabbed just five rebounds, but his presence and overall impact was undeniable and played a pivotal role in Detroit rallying from 13-down to get the win.
Like Drummond, Thomas also had one of his worst nights offensively this season. But to Thomas’ credit, he managed to get into a bit of a rhythm in the fourth quarter which is when he scored 15 of his team-high 22 points. But like most of his shots (he was 6-for-20 from the field), Thomas’ fourth quarter efforts came up short.
The rookie shook off some tough calls and turnovers to finish with a double-double of 11 points and 10 rebounds off the bench. He also drained a 3-pointer in front of the Celtics bench with less than a minute to play, one of the biggest shots of the night.
As much as Isaiah Thomas struggled with his shot, Smart was even more off the mark. He finished with just two points, missing nine of his 10 shots from the field. He had a moment here and there when his defense stood out, but for the most part Smart had little impact on the game.
Home court (dis)advantage
Boston continues to struggle when playing in front of their own fans, and are now a sub-.500 team (9-10) at the TD Garden. It’s still early to play the “if only if…” game but at this point, it’s hard not to look at some of the games that the Celtics have let slip away and not think that it’ll come back and bite them something fierce at the end of the season when they are fighting for a playoff berth or a higher seeding.

The following is written in order to help you to understand what different types of CCTV Cameras are being used in Security Camera Installations today and how we at Ideal CCTV determine, which one to use.
These are the main types of CCTV Cameras:
IR Vandal Dome Camera
Outdoor IR Dome Type
Housed Body Camera
Outdoor Box Camera
Camera in CCTV Housing
Outdoor Housed IR Camera
Outdoor Housing with IR Spot-Light
HD IP CCTV Camera Type
These Cameras can be/ incorporate:
- DSS Night-Vision
- Infra Red Night-Vision
- Vandal Resistant
Housed Cameras Vs Dome Cameras
Housed cameras (CCTV Cameras in Wheather-Proof Housings) are used, when the camera needs to have a very far zoom, or when a very high deterrent effect is desired. Static (not rotating) Dome Cameras look neater and are not as obvious. Professional Dome Cameras have the same picture quality and specification as Housing Surveillance Cameras, but aregenerally easier to install and slightly cheaper to purchase. Most professional Dome Cameras incorporate a three-axis-gimble, which allows to camera to be mounted in any position and still be adjustable to view any desired angle.
Keeping cost in mind, we recomment static dome cctv cameras in most locations -- unless a very high deterrent effect is desired.
PTZ Speed Domes
These are also dome shaped CCTV Cameras, but include pan, tilt and zoom capability. These cameras can be set up to follow pre-programmed routes and presets. Most applications include a joystick - keyboard, operated by surveillance personal. Ideal CCTV recommend Speed Domes for vast area projects like car parks.
Generally for reliable security we recommend to stick to static (non rotating) CCTV Cameras, as very often during important incidents the Speed Dome monitored another area and no evidence was captured.
All security risk areas like gates, ground floor window rows, doors and fire exits should have their own static camera, zoomed in on the highest risk area.
IR Night-Vision CCTV Cameras vs Sens Up DSS Night Vision
Everybody speaks and writes about Infra Red Night Vision - but few people are aware that the majority of IR illuminated cctv footage is not usable for identification of suspects. Common problems are:
- IR too weak on distance but..
- ..too strong for close up suspects, which causes..
- over-illumination of faces and loss of facial marks. Often the face is shown as a white blurr
- images and video are recorded in Black and White only.
We at Ideal CCTV have changed our approach and turned to DSS Night-Vision. CCTV Cameras that incorporate this advanced light sensitivity require an absolute minimum of light. In some instances moon light or even star light can be sufficient to give a clear and crisp colour picture at night time. Ideal is the presence of a street lamp within fifty to eighty yards or the installation of one low-light source might be recommendable.
DSS night vision cameras deliver clear colour recordings in situations where the human eye hardly sees a thing.
We do not recommend DSS CCTV Cameras in applications where fast moving objects like cars etc. are the main aim of surveillance.

These are in order from my most confident pick to least confident. Lines are based on the current spreads at the Caesars Sportsbook.
|Miami (-3.5) vs. Cleveland- (Sun) 1:00– I realize the Browns had a breakout performance against the Bengals last week, but the Dolphins are still the much better team here playing at home. |
|LA Rams (-3.0) vs. Arizona- (Sun) 4:25– Both of these teams have had a somewhat disappointment 2022 campaign so far, but the Rams already beat the Cardinals on the road by 8 earlier this season so I don’t see why they can’t have a similar or even better result on Sunday. |
|LA Chargers (+7.0) at San Francisco- (Sun) 8:20– This line really surprised me, as I think the Chargers are more talented and certainly more explosive than the 49ers. The Thunderbolts have also played really well on the road season with three outright wins and two narrow loses, one of which was to Kansas City. LA will either spring the upset or keep this one really close. |
|Seattle (+2.5) vs. Tampa Bay- (Sun) 9:30 AM– I am always hesitant to bet overseas games because you never know how each team is going to react to the travel, time change, neutral site environment, etc. With that being said, Seattle is one of the hottest teams in the league right now and is playing much better football this season than the struggling Bucs. This line seems to be based more on brand name bias than recent results. |
|Buffalo (-5.5) vs. Minnesota- (Sun) 1:00– Josh Allen in questionable for Sunday’s game, so obviously the likelihood of a Bills win and cover greatly depends on his status. With that being said, the Bills are undefeated at home this season and have played well after each of their losses the past two years. Meanwhile, Minnesota is due to get exposed in a big game, as I don’t think they are nearly as good as their record indicates, |
Last Week’s Record: 2-3, Overall Season Record: 28-17 (my first under .500 week in the NFL in a while)

In life, very rarely is something worth pursuing easy. Shifting to a healthier lifestyle is plastered with so many obstacles. You can plan all you want but you won’t be able to avoid the difficulties that a change in lifestyle entails. You will be battling against yourself and your environment.
It is not meant to be taken literally and it is not too complicated. It simply means what food we eat has bearing on our health. It is an old and basic idea but one that is very relevant to the complicated modern times.
Fitness is a lifetime commitment and requires deliberate and conscientious effort. This is a fact. And those who refuse to accept this fact are bound to fail. Achieving fitness is hard. You need to have a good plan, discipline and support if you want to succeed.
Beauty and health go hand in hand. Our outer beauty is the reflection of our health.

Carrie Kahn. Hundreds of migrants deported to Mexico are sent back through the Reynosa border crossing. It is Mexico's most dangerous border towns and foreign to many of those being sent there.
President Trump visited McAllen, Texas, today to continue to press his argument for a wall at the southern border. McAllen is one of the safest cities in the U. Across the border, however, sits one of the most dangerous cities in Mexico - Reynosa. It's become an unintended home for a growing number of migrants. NPR's Carrie Kahn reports. They fled the violent city of San Pedro Sula in Honduras, where he says it's nearly impossible to keep your children out of the gangs.
KAHN: "And then they tell you, you have a problem because your child isn't yours anymore. He now belongs to the gang," says Baquedano. Baquedano says he tried to cross the international bridge into McAllen, Texas, to ask for asylum back in November but was stopped by a U. KAHN: "He told me to wait behind a blue line on the bridge, which at the time I didn't know put me back in Mexico," he says. And within a few minutes, Mexican immigration officials arrived and took him and his son away.
They were detained for three days but luckily not deported back to Honduras. He says he's since found a job and a house and is staying put for now. Baquedano is lucky. Officials here say many migrants stuck in the city fall prey to the criminal groups that dominate this northern Mexican border city.
Reynosa's mayor, Maki Ortiz Dominguez, says it's not just U. She's dealing with thousands of migrants deported from the U. She says to each day are deported to the region.

Prime Time to Cruise!
No Holiday in St Ives is complete without a visit to Seal Island.
This group of rocks, located 6 miles West of St Ives, is home to a 'pod' of grey seals.
Boat Trips to Seal Island were introduced at the end of The Second World War when Henry David Paynter took passengers in his boat the 'Sapphire' and the 'Topaz'.
Today, the link with boat pleasure trips continues with Henry David's daughter being part-owner of 'Prime Time'.
About Henry David
Henry David's objective was to give his passengers an experience to remember and his knowledge of the local coast provided an entertaining and informative dialogue with visitors, many of whom returned annually to see how the pups were developing.
This objective remains today with the owners of 'Prime Time' who seek to give their passengers a cruise to remember.
Prime Time is owned and operated by local fishermen who have plied their trade in the waters around our Peninsula.
Their knowledge of the coast, including tidal streams are unsurpassed by other operators.

The 26th edition of the International Astra Film Festival had its opening on Monday, October 14, and from the very first day it seems that it will register as a real box office success. The festival started in the company of an impressive audience, sold-out screenings and a festive atmosphere. The festival takes place between 14-20 October in 11 venues spread out across the city of Sibiu.
Astra Film Festival opened its 26th edition with the nationwide premiere of the documentary “State Funerals” directed by Sergei Loznitsa, in the presence of a large audience consisting of Romanian and foreign special guests who have arrived in Sibiu for the festival. Before the screening held at Filarmonica de Stat Sibiu, the founding director of Astra Film Sibiu, Dumitru Budrala was awarded with the distinction of the High Patronage of the Romanian Presidency, event followed by a discussion with Emil Hurezeanu, the Romanian ambassador in Berlin.
”In the 26 years that have passed since the first edition of the festival, 10% of approximately 20.000 films that had applied to be selected were shown on the screens of Astra Film Sibiu, which means that over 2.000 directors have presented their works during the festival. Some directors sought to bring us stories, histories, human experiences and occasionally they have risked their lives to complete their films. The Astra Film mothership took off this morning with the most cherished programme of the festival, Astra Film Junior. The things happening this week in Sibiu are miraculous and those who claim that the interest in culture and education has died should take a closer look at this festival”, said Dumitru Budrala, founding director of Astra Film Sibiu.
”I am very glad to be your guest once again in Sibiu and I congratulate the extraordinary performance of the organizers of hosting the most interesting documentary film festival from this geographical area in Sibiu. I must emphasize that this is one of the few festivals in Romania that has survived these past difficult years”, said Emil Hurezeanu, the ambassador of Romania in Berlin.
”I wish you success and a long life”, was the message sent by Klaus Iohannis, President of Romania, to the organizers of the festival.
”We are honored to offer our support to such events. Astra Film Festival has become a significant part of our cultural heritage and it makes Sibiu a city of superlatives. We are here today because a young teacher from a forgotten village followed his dream with passion, perseverance and a lot of work. Dumitru Budrala managed to infect many people with his passion for cinematography. In the era of Mineriads, he managed to create a film festival in Sibiu, something that was unheard of at that time”, declared Daniela Cîmpean, President of Sibiu County Council.
”Astra Film Festival animates a touristic city during the autumn season and it serves as evidence that when state institutions and authorities collaborate, fabulous things can happen, such as this festival”, said Ciprian Ștefan, general manager of CNM ASTRA, the main partner of the festival.
Astra Film Junior also started on Monday, 14 October, bringing children from every school in Sibiu county in the movie theatres. Currently at its 11th edition, Astra Film Junior has broken a new record of registrations and the official data will be published at the end of the festival. Tickets for Monday at the Dome in the Large Square were sold out as audiences crowded to watch the scheduled films.
Astra Film Festival continues until Sunday, 20 October, and the vast and diverse programme of the 2019 edition proposes a very wide, panoramic overview that extends both geographically on large territories and over time, going back to the past and coming back to the present, while also looking towards the future using new technologies. Over 400 cinematographic events, absolute premieres, dozens of Q&A sessions, event-meetings, prestigious guests from the industry, debates and concerts will literally make the historical center of Sibiu and many other areas come to life.
You can find the complete festival programme here: https://2019.astrafilm.ro/en/program/
Tickets for AFF 2019 can be purchased online: https://eventbook.ro/festival/astra-film-festival
Astra Film Festival Sibiu is held under the High Patronage of the Romanian Presidency.
Astra Film Festival 2019 is coordinated by Astra Film, CNM Astra and the Astra Film Foundation, with the support of the Sibiu County Council, the Ministry of Culture and National Identity and the National Center of Cinematography. The event is co-financed by the Sibiu Local Council through the City Hall of Sibiu.


SkyGov became self-aware 57 years ago today.
A couple of months ago, I was part of a discussion in which one of the participants, a very smart lady, said the reason conservatives lose is not just that we are not particularly good at playing the game, it is that we do not even know what game we are playing.
I think one of the biggest mistakes, one that is somewhat less evident in local contests and more so in national ones, is that we assume the elections are a dichotomous event, that there are only two warriors, only two tribes – but that is not true, and it has not been true for a long time.
There are three players in every election – the two candidates and the state.
Call it the “deep state” or just government, it is the same entity. It will naturally favor and protect one party over the other, not necessarily because it believes in any particular set of principles, but because the actions of that party aid and abet the only principles the state knows – that of survival and expansion.
In the original Terminator movie, SkyNet became self-aware at 2:14 a.m., EDT, on August 29, 1997.
We can also pinpoint when our own SkyNet – call it SkyGov – became self-aware.
Think it is not self-aware?
Try to shut it down.
When we had government “shutdowns” during the pillow fights over the approval of spending bills (we have not had an actual budget in two decades), something like 86% of government continued to operate because those parts have been made mandatory.
We did not shut anything down; we just gave it a tummy ache.
Kyle Reese, soldier of the Resistance and father of John Conner, described it this way:
“Listen and understand. That terminator is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.”
Money is power and in government, spending other people’s money is power. We can track SkyGov’s growth by tracking federal spending.
If one looks at the charts of federal spending showing government size as a percent of GDP and in real dollars spent, one can see two things: federal spending took a substantial jump as President Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society programs kicked in and our society became significantly more socialistic as the more liberal (socialistic) Baby Boomers began to take control of government. The only period where federal growth as a share of GDP slowed was when the Clinton administration had to cut budget deals with the Republican controlled Congress in 1994. Bush elevated the curve and during his second term, it reclaimed its post-1960’s explosive growth under the Democrat controlled Congress from 2006, a trend that continued with Obama and has simply exploded under Biden.
SkyGov became self-aware with the passage of Lyndon Johnson’s first “Great Society” policy packages on May 7, 1964. On this date, its creators and collaborators set in motion the destruction of the American Republic.
Just as there were humans in the Terminator saga who believed technology was the answer to all of man’s problems, there are those today who believe government is that solution.
It is a common truism that science fiction often becomes science fact, leaving one to wonder – in the next several years will the Resistance consist of classical liberals, living in ruined tunnels under ruined cities, being hunted to extinction by SkyGov and its collaborators?
You might say that is impossible.
Of those people who think so I would ask this – if I came to you in the year 2000 and factually described the events of 2020 and 2021, would you have believed me? If I had told you that massive electronic media entities would censor and control what you say, hear and see with algorithms designed to eliminate certain views, would you have thought that impossible? If I had told you that our own government would become our enemy, hunting down people who oppose its policies, would you have thought me insane?
Well, here we are.
SkyGov is self-aware.
And the Harris-Biden administration and the Democrat Party are working for it.
Where is the GOP? It is clear some of them believe SkyGov can be bargained and reasoned with, but they do not get that it doesn’t feel pity, remorse, or fear and that it absolutely will not stop, ever, until we are dead.
Where are the people like Kyle Reese, Sarah and John Connor in the GOP?

El Conde de Torrefiel
El Conde de Torrefiel is a Barcelona-based artistic duo, comprised of Tanya Beyeler (Switzerland) and Pablo Gisbert (Spain). Their performances draw connections across texts, visual arts and choreography. Their new, seventh work, the end result of a one-year research, is a co-production of major European festivals and theatres and is set to premiere in 2018. LA PLAZA examines the notion of time and space through tension, resistance and rupture, all of which are integral aspects of violence. The artists observe the physical constraints imposed by space and how our lives are restricted by various physical forces. The setting of the performance is conceived as a public agora, wherein our perception of time and space is expanded; a circular stage inhabited by people and monuments.

Easington MP Grahame Morris wants people to be more aware of the dangerous medical condition sepsis.
Mr Morris attended a Parliamentary event to raise awareness of of the life- threatening and relatively unknown condition, which claims the lives of 44,000 people – including 1,000 children – every year in the UK.
The event, hosted by the APPG on Sepsis and the UK Sepsis Trust, was attend by more than 40 MPs and Peers, along with a number of patients and their families who have been personally affected by sepsis.
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that can affect anyone. Young and old, fit and healthy. It arises when the body’s response to an infection damages its own tissues and organs. It can lead to shock, multiple organ failure, and death, especially if it is not recognised early and treated promptly.
He said: “While sepsis is a condition which may not hit the headlines, it is deadly. I want to see sepsis viewed as a medical emergency and have a higher profile among medical professionals and the public.

Agartala: Type ‘lynching in India’ in Google, and almost all the lead stories are from mainland India. But dig a little deeper, and you see that Tripura in Northeast India has a shocking consistency when it comes to mob lynching cases. Now, since the police don’t keep a separate record for lynching cases, it would be difficult to ascertain how many such cases have been reported from Tripura. But when a senior police officer, off the record, says, “We are launching a special drive for public awareness against mob lynching” – it gives a fair assessment of how things are on the ground.
From lynching ‘smugglers’ to attacking doctors, mobs have spared no one, and in March 2022, Litan Miah became another name on the list of people murdered by an angry mob.
It was the morning of March 30, 2022. Fatema Begum, 21, had been waiting for her husband to return. She woke up early as usual and was about to prepare breakfast for her family when the devastating news struck. No one spoke to her directly, but from the conversation of the elders, she knew something had gone wrong with her husband.
“No one was telling me what had happened to him. We went to the hospital and saw him panting desperately and screaming; he was in extreme pain. We begged the doctors, the cops to refer him or let us shift him to a city-based hospital for better treatment but they refused,” a teary-eyed Fatema told EastMojo.
The last memory Fatema has of her husband was of him venturing out of home at around 3 am, assuring her he would return soon. He never did.
“I only received a message that my husband was admitted at Kathalia hospital in critical condition. The police said that locals of Baramura village – a little less than five km from our house – had detained him after ‘catching him red-handed’ while stealing cattle. He was thrashed mercilessly, and there was an iron rod inserted in his leg. His whole body was full of scars and injury marks,” she added.
As per media reports, Litan Miah, 28, was allegedly lynched by an irate mob on suspicion of being a cattle thief on March 29. But Fatema is reluctant to accept it. She said it was cold-blooded murder, which was later presented before the public in an altogether different manner.
“The police and the main culprits enjoying strong political connections are working hand-in-glove to conceal the truth,” she alleged.
Fatema is now responsible for her three-year-old daughter and an eight-month-old son.
Fatema does not believe her husband was innocent. Talking about what she termed as ‘Oi Parer Bebsa (business across the other side/Bangladesh side)’, she says, “My father in law, my husband, all of them do the same kind of work. I have no objections if they are legally penalised for the same. Law must take its course, but what happened to me is unacceptable.”
She believes disputes around the alleged business led to Litan Mia’s murder. “He told me how things are getting complicated in the shared business. His partners Sentu Debnath, Bishu Debnath and Bindu Debnath were consistently making trouble in the business. He used to stay with them all the time, and on the day of the incident, he went out to meet them. The police are also playing in their hands,” she added.
“Do you think if someone is going out to lift cows for smuggling, he will wear a nice pair of denim and t-shirts?” Fatema asked, breaking into tears.
“Three hours after he left (3 am), my uncle-in-law received the information over the phone. We went to the hospital and waited for hours before he was finally referred, and I still remember as soon as he was boarded on the ambulance, he stopped moving. On reaching the district hospital at Melagarh, he was declared ‘brought dead’. Weeks passed after my father-in-law Jamal Miah lodged an FIR with the local police station. Two people were arrested after protests broke out all over, but things cooled down with time, and we hardly know anything about the progress in the investigation,” she said, adding that had she been able to do something, she would have challenged the role of police in Court.
Fatema may have lost her husband, but at least she has a family that will take care of her and her children. The future is far bleaker for Harun Miah and Nurul Naha, both senior citizens and parents of Billal Hossain, who was lynched in 2021 by an irate mob. Why? Alleged cattle smuggling.
Billal Hossain (28) was lynched with two other Muslim men by a group of unknown assailants at Teliamura under the Khowai district of Tripura. The incident took place about 100 km from his residence in Sonamura under the Sepahijala district.
The grief of the ill-fated couple mounted up when their daughter-in-law left their house, also taking with her their only grandson, forever.
“We lost our son almost a year back. Within months, our grandson also left us alone in this barren house,” a dejected Nuha told EastMojo.
“My son Billal was in Saudi for about four and half years. On his return in 2013, we thought it was the right time to get him settled. His marriage was solemnised with a girl from another Karaliamura, a village located under the same subdivision. Unfortunately, his married life was not happy,” the deceased’s mother explained.
On the day of the incident, she said, Billal was at his in-laws house. “My elder son Salim (Miah) first noticed a viral video on the internet where he saw his brother lying motionless. Immediately, he ran towards home and told us that something happened to Billal. We were preparing to leave for Teliamura when Salim’s telephone rang. Police officials from Teliamura informed us to rush there as early as possible.”
On reaching there, she said, police told them that Billal along with three more persons were killed by a frenzied mob of locals on suspicion of being cattle lifters. Jayed Hossain and Saiful Islam of adjacent villages Rangamatia and Bordowal also died during the mob attack. The parents of Billal, however, have no idea how their son reached Teliamura and what led to his death.
“I had advised Billal to go abroad once again as the family was undergoing a serious financial crunch. The money he brought was almost finished and the piece of land I had was sold out to repay the loans he took after marriage. He tried his hands in the fruit and vegetable business but due to the lockdown, things did not work out. He was supposed to go back after the lockdown was lifted but all dreams were reduced to nothing as the devastation struck our family,” said Miah.
On being asked whether any cases were lodged or not on the part of their family, Miah said, “We lodged a case with the Sonamura police station a few days after the incident. When we saw no progress, all the victims’ families decided to move to the Court. We have filed a petition together but what is the present status of the case is not known to us.”
Given the cold shoulder by police, not even allowed to protest
Both the families allege that the police investigation in connection with the lynching incidents was not up to the mark. In both cases, they felt their voices for justice were either unheard or ignored.
Speaking on the issue, Dilwar Hossian, secretary of Nagarik Suraksha Majlish (NSM), a civil rights body based out of the Sonamura region, said, “We have spoken to the victim families. Their grievances with the police investigation had been highlighted before the senior officials. We have met the senior rank officials as well. Every time we prepare for any protest rally, police try to placate the protestors by assuring us of action against the perpetrators. But the real offenders are still at loose with no visible attempts from the police.”

After Litan’s death, NSM took out a protest rally at Dhanpur. A rally was also scheduled at Sonamura, but it was cancelled due to the Police’s request.
Akhtar Hossan, representing the families of the mob lynching at Teliamura, said, “There are two cases lodged in connection with the incident in two separate police stations–Kalyanpur and Teliamura. According to a central government notification, victims of such incidents deserve financial aid from the government of India. The families did not receive the compensation as well despite the submission of a written appeal to the District Magistrate. We shall soon file a suit in the High Court of Tripura seeking justice for the victims’ families. The progress in the investigation shall be also revealed once we move the High Court.”
Tripura Police continues to maintain silence on the progress in these cases, and despite several attempts, EastMojo could not get a senior official to address this issue on the record. Senior police officials, however, on the condition of anonymity, accepted that in recent years, such incidents have taken place regularly.
“Cow plays a crucial role in village households. It supports the family financially and also feeds the children. When people feel there is a theft threat in their village, they become violent. The police are making all efforts to convince people not to take the law into their own hands. We are launching a special drive for public awareness against mob lynching. All field formations have been asked to do the awareness meetings quickly.”
For political parties, especially the opposition, lynching incidents are an easy way to attack the ruling party and question the state’s law and order situation, but little else. Soon after the incident of Khowai took place, TIPRA Chairman Pradyot Manikya in a tweet condemned the incident and said, “anyone who takes law in their hands should be punished! We live in a lawful society and the public murder of the 3 people irrespective of the alleged crime is unacceptable. If they were guilty it was the responsibility of the police to arrest them not the mob to lynch them.”
According to political experts, the lynching of Muslims, many of whom are alleged criminals, is a sensitive issue that no political party wants to touch. Which explains why the opposition parties might condemn the incident, but offer little, if any, help to these families.

Melissa McEwan on Obama’s disappointing choice of running mate:
For months and months I have read rejections of Clinton because she supported the war, but I suspect that those making the argument will not now reject Obama because he put one of its cheerleaders on his ticket. For months and months I have read rejections of Clinton because she and/or her husband are racist, but I suspect those those making the argument will not now reject Obama because he put a man who says things like this or this or this or this, all within the last two years, on his ticket. For months and months I have read exhortations that I must vote for Obama because he will protect reproductive rights in a way McCain won’t, but I suspect those who have beat me with that cudgel will not now reject Obama because he put on his ticket a man who does not support federal funding for abortion and supported the “partial-birth abortion” ban even without protections for the health/life of the mother.
And what of those who have chanted Obama’s 100% NARAL rating like a mantra? Will they reject him now that he has asked to join his ticket a man with a 36% NARAL rating in 2003 and a 75% rating in 2007? Or will they come at last to their stubborn insistence that he’s still better than McCain, even though that’s not the debate…?
I’ve never been a member of the Democratic Party; I’ve never been a partisan. But I have always voted for Democrats, and I always felt marginally in tune with the party. Now, I feel completely distant, completely detached. This, I fear, will only deepen that divide.
At some point, I’m going to be incredibly angry about that. But at the moment, I’m not even angry. Not yet, anyway.
In this moment, I just feel incredibly sad.

Adopted: Ridley, a a 3 year old Male Yellow Labrador, who is looking for his forever home.
Here is a bio from his foster family:
"Ridley is a happy, well-mannered, sweet and lovable three-year old male yellow lab. He is extremely friendly and wants to give love and attention to everyone he meets. He is playful, loves to run and very good at fetch. He has a good deal of energy, but is past the puppy stage and is not wild or destructive. He is food motivated and loves to eat. He is attentive and does his best to do exactly what you ask of him. He is curious and likes to be involved in whatever is happening. He is ready to do anything, but can also be happy just lying by your side. He likes to give and get hugs and seems perfectly comfortable on any type of furniture.
Ridley knows many of his basic commands, “sit, stay, down, off, wait…”. He walks reasonably well on the leash, without significant pulling. His recall is good, and we are reinforcing using his name because we are not sure that he knows it. He is potty trained and has had no accidents during his time with us, even though he is recovering from his neutering surgery. With the help of our dog, he learned to use the doggy door the first day with us and will use it when needed, or with a gentle reminder.
Ridley has done very well with other dogs, playing and interacting with our dog and a neighbor dogs. We are not sure about how he will react to cats or other small animals, but he does not seem to have a significant prey instinct. He is an excellent watch dog, excitedly alerting us to people at the front door, without barking. He is crate trained and is able to sleep through the night by himself. He seems to like car rides, but wants to sit up front with the driver for the best view.
Ridley has been a pleasure to have in our home. He is a good dog that, with some consistent and reinforced training will turn into an excellent dog. He will do well in any home, including those with children and other dogs. He is looking for someone to love him and take care of him as a companion or as a family dog. "

A dog whose bark is credited with saving the life of a wayward toddler faces removal from its owner - because neighbours have complained about its barking.
Two years ago, chocolate Labrador Pipa alerted owner Maureen Summerell to a toddler from a neighbouring house sitting in the middle of the road in Maketu, east of Te Puke.
Ms Summerell rushed out to get the child just as a truck was coming.
But now, the council has issued a removal notice for Pipa after complaints from neighbours about barking.
Ms Summerell said the battle with Kevin and Cathy Halliday combined with the stress of caring for her sick father drove her to put Pipa up for sale on Trade Me.
But now she plans an appeal against the order from Western Bay of Plenty District Council, claiming she is being bullied.
"I think that kid would have been flattened if Pipa hadn't barked. It just would've been it for that kid."
She believed her dog did not bark constantly and excessively, despite a council officer who visited the property taking her neighbours' side.
"She barks when the boys get home from school, but that's about it. Unless someone's on our section, I don't think she barks at all. Sure, she's hyperactive - but she's just a Lab."
Mrs Halliday said the barking had been going on for three years.
"I think the most important thing to focus on is that the man from the council ran his own investigation and came to his own conclusion. What more's to be said?"
Council animal services team leader Bruce Wills said his random visits to the property corroborated the complaints.
The removal order came after months of complaints and was a last resort after a barking collar failed to silence Pipa.

The US CFTC believes Eisenberg manipulatively inflated the value of his swap contract holdings on Mango Markets to borrow a significant amount of digital assets that he had no intention to repay.
The United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has filed charges against Avraham Eisenberg – the trader who exploited decentralized crypto exchange Mango Markets for over $100 million last year – in the southern district of New York. According to the court filings, the CFTC has accused Eisenberg of engaging in a manipulative and deceptive scheme to artificially inflate the price of swaps offered by Mango Markets between October 11, 2022, and October 15, 2022.
In his defense, Eisenberg noted that he was involved with a team that operated a highly profitable trading strategy, which later returned over $67 million to the Solana-based DeFi.
I believe all of our actions were legal open market actions, using the protocol as designed, even if the development team did not fully anticipate all the consequences of setting parameters the way they are.
— Avraham Eisenberg (@avi_eisen) October 15, 2022
Nonetheless, the US CFTC believes Eisenberg manipulatively inflated the value of his swap contract holdings on Mango Markets to borrow a significant amount of digital assets that he had no intention to repay.
“Defendant accomplished this scheme by manipulating the price of MNGO and, ultimately, the price of MNGO-USDC Swaps, through a type of scheme often referred to as oracle manipulation,” the CFTC noted.
The CFTC court charges further added that the value of Eisenberg’s collateral was an illusion of his manipulation, which caused the price of MNGO to skyrocket 13-fold in less than thirty minutes. After the MNGO price quickly deflated, the CFTC noted that Mango Markets was left holding a mostly empty bag.
Currently, Eisenberg is determined following a ruling by Bruce McGiverin, a judge at the Puerto Rico District Court, that the defendant possesses flight risks. Moreover, Eisenberg is a holder of dual citizenship including the United States.
Eisenberg’s Trades on Mango Markets and CFTC Charges
Eisenberg’s trades on Mango Markets have increased risks on decentralized financial platforms. Moreover, anyone can participate in similar wash trades and wipe out DeFi holdings. As such, DeFi platforms now have to deal with malicious attacks on multichain networks and also manipulative trades.
The CFTC and the SEC have increased their oversight of digital assets following the Terra Luna and FTX collapse last year. Moreover, over $2.2 trillion has been wiped out of the crypto market in less than twelve months.
Nonetheless, market analysts believe more oversight and regulations entering the stud cryptocurrency industry will result in more global adoption. Furthermore, mainstream adoption of digital assets including from institutional investors requires ultimate regulatory clarity to ensure investor protection.
Meanwhile, Mango Markets has been involving its DAO to vote on how to divide the cash from Eisenberg.
“Everything has to go through DAO proposals,” Daffy Durairaj, co-founder of Mango Markets, wrote in the project’s Discord. “My personal goal is to make depositors whole and that’s what I’ll aim towards. But the mix of tokens and positions everyone had might be different”.

India led the global refurbished smartphone market with 19 per cent (year-on-year) growth in 2022, as Apple captured 49 per cent of the refurbished smartphone market, followed by Samsung at 26 per cent, a report showed on Monday.
Driven by the pandemic-induced stay-at-home orders, the Indian online smartphone market is likely to cross 50 per cent in the April-June quarter, which is a first for any second-quarter ever in the country, a new report said on Thursday.
The 5G smartphone shipments were up from 7 per cent in Q1 2021 to 15 per cent in the second quarter, as nearly every player doubled down on launching 5G-ready affordable devices.
“Both April and May were better than expected as we have already mentioned that smartphone market stays resilient and we have seen a strong pent-up demand in June,” according to CounterPoint Research.
However, there was also a pressure of supply chain shortage that global market is facing, and India was not immune to that as well.
Owing to this, the smartphone market in Q2 may be 14-18 per cent down from the same quarter last year, the data showed.
“Overall, we believe market will exhibit a health year-on-year (YoY) growth as last year, half of Q2 was literally washed out,” Counterpoint said.
The smartphone players are bullish on launching 5G-ready devices for the masses in India.
Smartphone brand realme announced earlier this month that it aims to bring 5G smartphones in the the sub-Rs 10,000 segment to the Indian users next year, with the support of the chipset manufacturers and other industry partners.
“realme aims to be the 5G leader and believes that every Indian deserves a 5G phone from 2021 onwards. We are spearheading 5G’s democratisation in India and globally, and through our 5G smartphones we will constantly bring more leap-forward surprises and the best in market experience to more Indian consumers,” said Madhav Sheth, Vice President, realme and CEO, realme India and Europe.
Counterpoint Research revealed during the virtual 5G event that almost 14 per cent of the smartphones sold in May in India were 5G devices.
“There are a number of market and technology factors which will make the transition from 4G to 5G the fastest among all generations. There is the anticipation of massive performance boosts in download speeds and step-change feature set improvements across imaging, processors and battery life,” Tarun Pathak, Research Director, Counterpoint Research, had said during the event.
