Conor Friedersdorf writes: Some of the most powerful people in the U.S. government wanted to kill Mohanad Mahmoud Al Farekh. The military, the CIA, and an influential Republican member of Congress all argued that a drone should be sent to kill the American.
Now he is in custody.
And if convicted of all charges that he faces, he’ll get a maximum of 15 years in prison–the same sentence that a brother and sister in Missouri got for growing marijuana.
How can a person narrowly escape extrajudicial assassination, get extradited to the United States, appear inside our judicial system, and face just 15 years in prison? Powerful people were prepared to end his life, but the extent of what they’re willing to prove beyond a reasonable doubt wouldn’t even draw a life sentence. [Continue reading…]
Time: A landmark case may open the door for a possible multibillion-dollar class-action lawsuit launched by relatives of the alleged 960 civilian victims of U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan
A senior judge in Pakistan has ordered police to formally investigate former CIA agents for allegedly authorizing a 2009 drone strike.
If the case moves forward, it may subject the U.S. embassy in Islamabad to sensitive police investigations and even result in U.S. citizens for the first time being charged with murder for covert drone strikes in the South Asian nation.
Last Tuesday, the Islamabad High Court ordered police to open a criminal case against former CIA Islamabad Station Chief Jonathan Bank and ex-CIA legal counsel John A. Rizzo for murder, conspiracy, terrorism and waging war against Pakistan.
Politico reports: CIA Director John Brennan reportedly says the preliminary framework around the nuclear deal with Iran does what had once seemed impossible, calling some critics of the agreement “wholly disingenuous” and expressing surprise at the Iranians’ concessions.
“I must tell you the individuals who say this deal provides a pathway for Iran to a bomb are being wholly disingenuous, in my view, if they know the facts, understand what’s required for a program,” Brennan told an audience at Harvard University’s Institute of Politics on Tuesday night in his first comments since the outline was announced last week in Lausanne, Switzerland, according to Agence France-Presse.
Brennan said that while critics worry that lifting sanctions on Iran will “cause more trouble throughout the area,” the framework is “as solid as you can get” when it comes to blunting the Islamic Republic’s efforts to build nuclear weapons. [Continue reading…]
The Los Angeles Times reports: ecret files held by Yemeni security forces that contain details of American intelligence operations in the country have been looted by Iran-backed militia leaders, exposing names of confidential informants and plans for U.S.-backed counter-terrorism strikes, U.S. officials say.
U.S. intelligence officials believe additional files were handed directly to Iranian advisors by Yemeni officials who have sided with the Houthi militias that seized control of Sana, the capital, in September, which led the U.S.-backed president to flee to Aden.
For American intelligence networks in Yemen, the damage has been severe. Until recently, U.S. forces deployed in Yemen had worked closely with President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi’s government to track and kill Al Qaeda operatives, and President Obama had hailed Yemen last fall as a model for counter-terrorism operations elsewhere. [Continue reading…]
The New York Times reports: In late 2012, just as President Obama and his aides began secretly sketching out a diplomatic opening to Iran, American intelligence agencies were busy with a parallel initiative: The latest spy-vs.-spy move in the decade-long effort to sabotage Tehran’s nuclear infrastructure.
Investigators uncovered an Iranian businessman’s scheme to buy specialty aluminum tubing, a type the United States bans for export to Iran because it can be used in centrifuges that enrich uranium, the exact machines at the center of negotiations entering a crucial phase in Switzerland this week.
Rather than halt the shipment, court documents reveal, American agents switched the aluminum tubes for ones of an inferior grade. If installed in Iran’s giant underground production centers, they would have shredded apart, destroying the centrifuges as they revved up to supersonic speed.
But if negotiators succeed in reaching a deal with Iran, does the huge, covert sabotage effort by the United States, Israel and some European allies come to an end?
“Probably not,” said one senior official with knowledge of the program. In fact, a number of officials make the case that surveillance of Iran will intensify and covert action may become more important than ever to ensure that Iran does not import the critical materials that would enable it to accelerate the development of advanced centrifuges or pursue a covert path to a bomb.

Jason Leopold reports: Thirteen years ago, the intelligence community concluded in a 93-page classified document used to justify the invasion of Iraq that it lacked “specific information” on “many key aspects” of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs.
But that’s not what top Bush administration officials said during their campaign to sell the war to the American public. Those officials, citing the same classified document, asserted with no uncertainty that Iraq was actively pursuing nuclear weapons, concealing a vast chemical and biological weapons arsenal, and posing an immediate and grave threat to US national security.
Congress eventually concluded that the Bush administration had “overstated” its dire warnings about the Iraqi threat, and that the administration’s claims about Iraq’s WMD program were “not supported by the underlying intelligence reporting.” But that underlying intelligence reporting — contained in the so-called National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) that was used to justify the invasion — has remained shrouded in mystery until now. [Continue reading…]
The Associated Press: The U.S. military has hit as many as 17 separate targets connected to a shadowy al-Qaida cell in Syria known as the Khorasan group, U.S. officials say, as part of a little-discussed air campaign aimed at disrupting the group’s capacity to plot attacks against Western aviation.
U.S. intelligence analysts disagree about whether the attacks have significantly diminished the group’s capabilities, according to the officials, showing how difficult it has been to develop a clear picture of what is happening on the ground in Syria.
American officials briefed on the matter agree that the air attacks have forced militants into hiding and made their use of cellphones, email or other modern communications extremely risky. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss classified assessments.
There is some disagreement about how much the airstrikes have undermined the group’s ability to pose an imminent threat, U.S. officials say. Some U.S. officials say the military believes the strikes have lowered the threat, while the CIA and other intelligence agencies emphasize that the group remains as capable as ever of attacking the West.
The New York Times reports: In the spring of 2010, Afghan officials struck a deal to free an Afghan diplomat held hostage by Al Qaeda. But the price was steep — $5 million — and senior security officials were scrambling to come up with the money.
They first turned to a secret fund that the Central Intelligence Agency bankrolled with monthly cash deliveries to the presidential palace in Kabul, according to several Afghan officials involved in the episode. The Afghan government, they said, had already squirreled away about $1 million from that fund.
Within weeks, that money and $4 million more provided from other countries was handed over to Al Qaeda, replenishing its coffers after a relentless C.I.A. campaign of drone strikes in Pakistan had decimated the militant network’s upper ranks.
“God blessed us with a good amount of money this month,” Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, the group’s general manager, wrote in a letter to Osama bin Laden in June 2010, noting that the cash would be used for weapons and other operational needs. [Continue reading…]
The Washington Post reports: U.S. counterterrorism officials and experts, never known for their sunny dispositions, have entered a period of particular gloom.
In congressional testimony recently, Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr. went beyond the usual litany of threats to say that terrorism trend lines were worse “than at any other point in history.”
Maj. Gen. Michael Nagata, commander of U.S. Special Operations forces in the Middle East, told participants on a counterterrorism strategy call that he regarded the Islamic State as a greater menace than al-Qaeda ever was.
Speaking at a New York police terrorism conference, Michael Morell, former deputy director of the CIA, said he had come to doubt that he would live to see the end of al-Qaeda and its spawn. “This is long term,” he said. “My children’s generation and my grandchildren’s generation will still be fighting this fight.”
The assessments reflect a pessimism that has descended on the U.S. counterterrorism community over the past year amid a series of discouraging developments. Among them are the growth of the Islamic State, the ongoing influx of foreign fighters into Syria, the collapse of the U.S.-backed government in Yemen and the downward spiral of Libya’s security situation. The latest complication came Saturday, when the terrorist group Boko Haram in Nigeria carried out a series of suicide bombings and reportedly declared its allegiance to the Islamic State.

Patrick G. Eggerton writes: Last fall, when Apple and Google announced they were cleaning up their operating systems to ensure that their users’ information was encrypted to prevent hacking and potential data loss, FBI Director James Comey attacked both companies. He claimed the encryption would cause the users to “place themselves above the law.”
The tech community fired back. “The only actions that have undermined the rule of law,” Ken Gude wrote in Wired, “are the government’s deceptive and secret mass-surveillance programs.”
The battle resumed in February 2015. Michael Steinbach, FBI assistant director for counterterrorism, said it is “irresponsible” for companies like Google and Apple to use software that denies the FBI lawful means to intercept data.
Yet the FBI does have a lawful means to intercept it: the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Its scope was vastly expanded by Congress in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.
It’s worth noting that the FBI never asked Congress to force tech companies to build “back doors” into their products immediately after the 9/11 attacks. Only after Google and Apple took steps to patch existing security vulnerabilities did the bureau suddenly express concern that terrorists might be exploiting this encryption.
In fact, the bureau has a host of legal authorities and technological capabilities at its disposal to intercept and read communications, or even to penetrate facilities or homes to implant audio and video recording devices. The larger problem confronting the FBI and the entire U.S. intelligence community is their over-reliance on electronic technical collection against terrorist targets. [Continue reading…]
Dan Raviv writes: In true-life espionage stories that inadvertently go public, there are often three stages: the initial revelation, the corrective second version from other sources, and – decades later – what really happened.
Newsweek and The Washington Post scored scoops last month, revealing that the CIA worked jointly with Israel’s Mossad to assassinate a Lebanese terrorist in February 2008 in Damascus: the military chief of the Iranian-controlled Hezbollah movement, Imad Mughniyeh.
The bomb explosion that killed Mughniyeh – who was held responsible for killing hundreds of Americans, notably in Beirut explosions that toppled the U.S. Embassy and a Marines barracks – was triggered from 135 miles away when a button was pushed in Mossad headquarters. A CIA man was inside the HQ near Tel Aviv.
This was a unique arrangement in which CIA and Mossad officers coordinated their undercover efforts in Syria’s capital, located the target, identified his habits, and parked a vehicle containing a bomb just outside an apartment he used.
According to the published accounts, the bomb had been designed, shaped, and repeatedly tested at an American base to be sure that only Mughniyeh and no other people would be killed.
Because of the revelation that the CIA was part of the mission, as well as details of how it was accomplished, Israelis close to their country’s security services wondered why American sources chose to leak so much about it.
One result was that some of those Israelis – apparently miffed that the Americans were taking too much credit – went to the trouble of speaking with Western officials and diplomats to offer corrections.
Basically, using a phrase inspired by the blue-and-white flag of Israel, they suggested that the assassination of Mughniyeh was “almost all blue-and-white, and just a little bit red-white-and-blue.”
Based on what they told their Western contacts this month, the Israelis claim that their Mossad and Aman (military intelligence) agencies managed to pick up the trail of the elusive terrorist – despite plastic surgery that changed his appearance. His biggest mistake was moving around Damascus without bodyguards, and specifically an unguarded area in front of his apartment building in the Syrian capital.
Contrary to the recent reports, the Israelis claim to have designed and tested the bomb, while respecting the CIA’s insistence that it not be too large so as not to kill any innocents. [Continue reading…]
Alan Robock writes: On January 19, 2011, I got a phone call from two men who told me they were consultants for the CIA. Roger Lueken and Michael Canes, analysts for the Logistics Management Institute, asked, among other things, “If another country were trying to control our climate, would we be able to detect it?”
I told them that I thought we could, because if a cloud in the stratosphere were created (the most commonly proposed method of control) that was thick enough, large enough, and long-lasting enough to change the amount of energy reaching Earth, we could certainly see it with the same ground-based and satellite instruments we use to measure stratospheric clouds from volcanic eruptions. If, on the other hand, low clouds were being brightened over the ocean (another suggested means of cooling the climate), we could see telltale patterns in the tops of the clouds with satellite photos. And it would also be easy to observe aeroplanes or ships injecting gases or particles into the atmosphere.
At the same time, I wondered whether they also wanted to know if others would know about it, if the CIA was controlling the world’s climate. Given that the CIA is a major sponsor of the recently released US National Academy of Sciences (NAS) reports on geoengineering (which they have renamed “climate intervention”), the question arises as to the possible interest of the CIA in global climate control.
Let me be clear. I completely agree with all the NAS findings. Global warming is real and is being caused by humans, mainly by burning coal, oil, petrol and natural gas, which puts carbon dioxide – a greenhouse gas – into the atmosphere. Global warming will result in major harm to humanity if left unchecked. The solution is to stop using fossil fuels for our energy supply and switch to solar and wind power, and to adapt to some of the coming climate change.
Geoengineering by blocking sunlight should not be implemented now, as its risks and benefits are too uncertain, but we need more research on the various proposed scenarios. Taking carbon dioxide out of the air is a good thing, but currently extremely expensive, and we need research on that, too. [Continue reading…]
The Guardian reports: A 13-year-old boy killed in Yemen last month by a CIA drone strike had told the Guardian just months earlier that he lived in constant fear of the “death machines” in the sky that had already killed his father and brother.
“I see them every day and we are scared of them,” said Mohammed Tuaiman, speaking from al-Zur village in Marib province, where he died two weeks ago.
“A lot of the kids in this area wake up from sleeping because of nightmares from them and some now have mental problems. They turned our area into hell and continuous horror, day and night, we even dream of them in our sleep.”
Much of Mohammed’s life was spent living in fear of drone strikes. In 2011 an unmanned combat drone killed his father and teenage brother as they were out herding the family’s camels. [Continue reading…]
The post-9/11 moment offered them their main chance to transform their dreams into reality and they seized it by the throat. They wanted to “take the gloves off.” They were convinced that the presidency had been shackled by Congress in the Watergate era and that it was their destiny to remove the chains. They believed in a “unitary” presidency: an unchained executive with unfettered power to do whatever he wanted, preemptively and in any fashion he cared to. And in their own fashion, they were visionaries in their urge to establish a Pax Americana first in the Greater Middle East and then planet-wide.
Anything, they thought, was possible, given a nation shocked and terrified by the apocalyptic vision of those towers coming down, even if the damage had been done by just 19 hijackers armed with box cutters who belonged to a terror organization capable, at best, of mounting major operations every year or two. “[B]arely five hours after American Airlines Flight 77 plowed into the Pentagon… [Secretary of Defense Donald] Rumsfeld was telling his aides to come up with plans for striking Iraq,” CBS News reported, even though he was already certain that al-Qaeda had launched the attack, not Saddam Hussein. (“‘Go massive,’ the notes quote him as saying. ‘Sweep it all up. Things related and not.'”)
And, of course, from Afghanistan to Iraq and beyond, they did “sweep it all up.” As a group, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, and many other top figures in the administration were in love with the U.S. military. They were convinced that a force with no peer on the planet could bring various “rogue powers” instantly to heel and leave the U.S. dominant in a way that no power in all of history had ever been. Throw in control over the flow of oil on a global scale and their dreams couldn’t have been more expansive. But when you write the history of this particular disaster, don’t forget the fear, either.
As was said over and over again at that moment, 9/11 “changed everything.” That meant they felt themselves freed to do all the mad things we now know they did, from preemptive wars and occupations to massive programs of torture and kidnapping, as well as the setting up of a global penal system that was to be beyond the reach of any law or the oversight of anyone but those under their command. They green-lighted it all, but don’t for a second think that they weren’t afraid themselves. To touch that fear (bordering on paranoia), you only have to read Jane Mayer’s book The Dark Side where she describes Vice President Dick Cheney in that post-9/11 period being “chauffeured in an armored motorcade that varied its route to foil possible attackers.” In the backseat of his car (just in case), she added, “rested a duffel bag stocked with a gas mask and a biochemical survival suit.” And lest danger rear its head, “rarely did he travel without a medical doctor in tow.”
Yes, they were on top of the world and undoubtedly chilled to the bone with fear as well. And fear and impunity turned out to be an ugly combination indeed. Both the fear and the sense of license, of the freedom to act as they wished, drove them fiercely. Take Michael Hayden, then head of the NSA, later of the CIA. Of that moment, he recently said, “I actually started to do different things. And I didn’t need to ask ‘mother, may I’ from the Congress or the president or anyone else. It was within my charter, but in terms of the mature judgment about what’s reasonable and what’s not reasonable, the death of 3,000 countrymen kind of took me in a direction over here, perfectly within my authority, but a different place than the one in which I was located before the attacks took place.” In other words, on September 10, 2011, he was simply the director of the NSA. On September 11th, without ever leaving the NSA, he was the president, Congress, and the chief justice of the Supreme Court all rolled into one.
Given what, as Hayden (and others) suggest, they couldn’t help but do, it’s good to know that there were some people who could. It’s a point that TomDispatch regular Rebecca Gordon, author of Mainstreaming Torture: Ethical Approaches in the Post-9/11 United States, makes in a particularly moving way today. Tom Engelhardt
Saying no to torture
A gallery of American heroes
By Rebecca Gordon
Why was it again that, as President Obama said, “we tortured some folks” after the 9/11 attacks? Oh, right, because we were terrified. Because everyone knows that being afraid gives you moral license to do whatever you need to do to keep yourself safe. That’s why we don’t shame or punish those who were too scared to imagine doing anything else. We honor and revere them.
Politico reports: For a year, Newsweek held a story on the assassination of top Hezbollah operative Imad Mughniyeh at the CIA’s request, the magazine confirmed Friday — only to be scooped by The Washington Post last week.
The CIA made a forceful case for holding the story in conversations and a meeting at the agency’s headquarters in Langley, Va., and Newsweek honored that request, according to Editor-in-Chief Jim Impoco.
“In the geopolitical context at that moment, the CIA made a very persuasive case,” Impoco said in an interview – but declined to say what arguments the CIA made at the time. The CIA also declined to comment. [Continue reading…]
The Los Angeles Times reports: Amid deepening political turmoil here, the United States has resumed drone strikes against Al Qaeda’s most feared franchise without seeking approval from the Shiite Muslim rebels who have tightened their control of a government once considered a close American ally.
The insurgents, known as Houthis, dissolved Yemen’s parliament Friday and announced plans to set up interim bodies to run the government, a move that opponents said amounted to a coup. The capital was calm but tense as armed men loyal to the movement quickly filled the streets.
Yemen has been roiled by uncertainty since the Houthis seized the presidential palace and put U.S.-backed President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi under house arrest on Jan. 22, leading him and his Cabinet to tender their resignations. [Continue reading…]

I will be the first to admit that summer is my favorite season of the year. If it wasn’t for all the cute fall decorations and super yummy pumpkin-flavored things, I would seriously go into fall kicking and screaming. So, this year when fall reared its head yet again, I needed my pumpkin fix quick! And, just like magic our latest shipment from Seattle Chocolates arrived with their seasonal truffle flavor, Pumpkin Spice. Ahh, I was seriously giddy! I quickly scooped up a handful of truffles along with our new ‘eek’ air filled balloon, and a chai tea candle. Before I knew it, I was enjoying all my favorite things about fall – cute decor, delicious pumpkin goodies and my favorite smells – and reminded that each season has its highlights.
My oh my doesn’t this look delicious? Fronie Mae Bakes has done it again! She takes a basic chocolate cupcake and tops it with thick and creamy marshmallow butter cream!

Halloween is one of my kids favorite holidays – maybe because it’s the one time of year that they are allowed to take candy from strangers! Here at Fancy That we just have so many scary cute Halloween things – it’s hard not to get into the Halloween spirit!
I love the mini eyeball balloons we carry – and that’s what inspired this Eye Popping Fun Halloween game!
First things first! Stop into the our Hillsboro shop and grab a few packs of the mini eyeball balloons, a bag of confetti and some small treats from our favor bar. And maybe one of these super cute Meri Meri Halloween garlands.
Once you’ve got your loot, start filling the balloons with either a single treat or some confetti for a little trick.
These eye balls are just asking to be popped!
Next, make your game board. You’ll need a piece of cardboard and enough construction paper to cover it. I eyeballed it (get it – eyeballed hahahaha) and made my board about 18 inches on each side. I cut the construction paper into squares and glued it to the cardboard.
Take your scissors, and using the sharp tip make enough holes, somewhat evenly spaced, on your game board for the balloons. The amount of holes will depend on how many balloons you’ve filled.
I used the eraser side of a pencil to push the end of the balloon through the hole I made with the scissors. Once all the balloons are attached you can flip the board over and secure the balloons by placing a piece of painters tape over the ends of the balloons.
You’re ready to hang the finished game board on the wall! I used tacks, but you can use tape if your board is not too heavy. I got creepy and covered my board with spider webs.
Check out the tutorial video below to see the game in action!
Now the fun begins! I gave each of the kids a sharpened pencil and had them take turns popping the balloons. They either got a trick balloon with confetti or a treat!
What are your favorite Halloween party games?
It’s cocktail time! Fronie Mae Bakes has whipped up an amazing grasshopper ice cream cocktail perfect for any occasion. It’s like a creamy, minty, milkshake for adults! And this color? The perfect pastel mint for your baby shower, birthday or holiday party. We love how this green grasshopper ice cream cocktail matches perfectly with our mint striped scalloped napkins. Toss the confetti and get your cocktail on!
With the right black striped paper straws and spooky napkins, these cocktails can turn ghoulish just in time for Halloween! Top each one with a creepy toy spider ring, a few Halloween sprinkles and your cocktails are ready to go trick or treating with you!
Fancy as always,

Ancient Roman women ate more meat, eggs and dairy, while men consumed more fish and cereals, analysis of Vesuvius eruption victims reveals
- Adult males in Herculaneum feasted on more fresh fish and seafood than women
- Fish may have been more available to men as they were free from slavery earlier
- Women in the town, meanwhile, ate more meat, eggs, dairy, fruit and vegetables
- Herculaneum was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius back in AD 79
Roman men and women in the ancient Italian town of Herculaneum – which was buried under volcanic ash and pumice by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 – had very different diets, a new study shows.
Researchers led by the University of York found that access to food in the ill-fated settlement 'was differentiated according to gender'.
The experts used a new approach to analyse amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, from 17 adult skeletons – 11 men and six women – originally found in Herculaneum in the eruption's aftermath.
By measuring the isotopes of carbon and nitrogen in the amino acids, the researchers reconstructed their diets in more detail than ever thought possible.
Men in Herculaneum benefitted from more fresh fish and seafood, which was something of a luxury item, as well as grains, while women appeared to eat more meat, eggs and dairy, as well as fruits and vegetables.
Herculaneum was destroyed – together with Pompeii, Torre Annunziata and Stabiae – by the Vesuvius eruption.
Archaeologists examined skeletal remains at Herculaneum - which was buried under volcanic ash and pumice by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79

Historical sources have already suggested different demographics across ancient Roman society had access to different foods – but the new study now provides quantitative information to support this.
'Our research builds on what we know that males had greater access to marine fish at Herculaneum and more broadly in Roman Italy,' said study author Silvia Soncin from York's Department of Archaeology.
'Males were more likely to be directly engaged in fishing and maritime activities, they generally occupied more privileged positions in society, and were freed from slavery at an earlier age providing greater access to expensive commodities, such as fresh fish.'

Pompeii: Remains of ancient Roman snack bar opens to tourists
The remains of an ancient fast food joint that was buried in volcanic ash in the Roman city of Pompeii back in 79 AD has opened to tourists.
Decorated with colourful frescos, the snack bar was unearthed back in 2020 in Regio V, the north-eastern sector of Pompeii which spans some 54 hectares.
Archaeologists believed that, in its heyday, the so-called 'thermopolium' would have served the ancient city's poorer residents, offering such foods as duck, paella and snails.
The diners would rarely have had a kitchen in their own residences, forcing them to visit such eateries instead.
In total, 340 individuals have been excavated from the beach and from nine adjacent fornici (stone vaults) that run parallel to the seashore in Herculaneum, near Pompeii, where people sought shelter from the pyroclastic flow.
The researchers determined the stable isotope values of amino acids from bone collagen in the remains using compound-specific stable isotope analysis (CSIA), a technique that reveals dietary patterns based on isotope ratios.
The team's analysis found males on average obtained 1.6 times more dietary protein from seafood compared with females.
Males also obtained a slightly higher proportion of protein from cereals compared with their female contemporaries.
Meanwhile, females obtained a greater proportion of protein from animal products and locally grown fruits and vegetables.
'The remains of those who perished at Herculaneum in AD79 offer a unique opportunity to examine the lifestyles across an ancient community who lived and died together,' said study author Professor Oliver Craig at York's Department of Archaeology.
'Historical sources often allude to differential access to foodstuffs across Roman society but rarely provide direct or quantitative information.
'We found significant differences in the proportions of marine and terrestrial foods consumed between males and females, implying that access to food was differentiated according to gender.'
The ancient Mediterranean diet revolved around staples that are especially familiar to Italians today - cereals, vegetables, olive oil, fish, seafood, cheese, eggs and meat
The team also estimated that the population of Herculaneum ate considerably more fish and seafood than Mediterranean populations in the mid- and late-20th century (which became more dominated by animal products).
But overall the study shows foods eaten by the Romans still make up the ultra-healthy modern-day Mediterranean diet that's enjoyed by Italians today.
Oily fish is a key part of the Mediterranean diet, which also consists of vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, beans, cereals, grains, and unsaturated fats such as olive oil.
The study was conducted in partnership with Rome's 'Museo delle Civiltà' and the Archaeological Parks of Pompeii and Herculaneum, amongst others, and has been published today in the journal Science Advances.
How Pompeii and Herculaneum were wiped off the map by devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius 2,000 years ago
Mount Vesuvius erupted in the year AD 79, burying the cities of Pompeii, Oplontis, and Stabiae under ashes and rock fragments, and the city of Herculaneum under a mudflow.
Mount Vesuvius, on the west coast of Italy, is the only active volcano in continental Europe and is thought to be one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world.
Every single resident died instantly when the southern Italian town was hit by a 500°C pyroclastic hot surge.
Pyroclastic flows are a dense collection of hot gas and volcanic materials that flow down the side of an erupting volcano at high speed.
They are more dangerous than lava because they travel faster, at speeds of around 450mph (700 km/h), and at temperatures of 1,000°C.
An administrator and poet called Pliny the younger watched the disaster unfold from a distance.
Letters describing what he saw were found in the 16th century.
His writing suggests that the eruption caught the residents of Pompeii unaware.
Mount Vesuvius erupted in the year AD 79, burying the cities of Pompeii, Oplontis, and Stabiae under ashes and rock fragments, and the city of Herculaneum under a mudflow
He said that a column of smoke 'like an umbrella pine' rose from the volcano and made the towns around it as black as night.
People ran for their lives with torches, screaming and some wept as rain of ash and pumice fell for several hours.
While the eruption lasted for around 24 hours, the first pyroclastic surges began at midnight, causing the volcano's column to collapse.
An avalanche of hot ash, rock and poisonous gas rushed down the side of the volcano at 124mph (199kph), burying victims and remnants of everyday life.
Hundreds of refugees sheltering in the vaulted arcades at the seaside in Herculaneum, clutching their jewelry and money, were killed instantly.
The Orto dei fuggiaschi (The garden of the Fugitives) shows the 13 bodies of victims who were buried by the ashes as they attempted to flee Pompeii during the 79 AD eruption of the Vesuvius volcano
As people fled Pompeii or hid in their homes, their bodies were covered by blankets of the surge.
While Pliny did not estimate how many people died, the event was said to be 'exceptional' and the number of deaths is thought to exceed 10,000.
What have they found?
This event ended the life of the cities but at the same time preserved them until rediscovery by archaeologists nearly 1700 years later.
The excavation of Pompeii, the industrial hub of the region and Herculaneum, a small beach resort, has given unparalleled insight into Roman life.
Archaeologists are continually uncovering more from the ash-covered city.
In May archaeologists uncovered an alleyway of grand houses, with balconies left mostly intact and still in their original hues.
A plaster cast of a dog, from the House of Orpheus, Pompeii, AD 79. Around 30,000 people are believed to have died in the chaos, with bodies still being discovered to this day
Some of the balconies even had amphorae - the conical-shaped terra cotta vases that were used to hold wine and oil in ancient Roman times.
The discovery has been hailed as a 'complete novelty' - and the Italian Culture Ministry hopes they can be restored and opened to the public.
Upper stores have seldom been found among the ruins of the ancient town, which was destroyed by an eruption of Vesuvius volcano and buried under up to six meters of ash and volcanic rubble.
Around 30,000 people are believed to have died in the chaos, with bodies still being discovered to this day.

Theatre-goers who plunged more than 20ft when the stage collapsed at a Birmingham theatre are hopeful their two-year battle for damages is nearing an end with the beginning today of a criminal case against the production company and the theatre.
More than 30 people were injured, many dressed in nuns' habits or lederhosen, when a makeshift stage gave way during Sing A Long A Sound of Music, at the Alexandra Theatre in September 2003.
The accident happened when people were invited onto the stage, and the victims plunged more than 20ft into the orchestra pit below.
Today Birmingham Magistrates Court will
hear a formal plea from defendants Clear Channel, who own the theatre, and Sing A Long Productions, following charges brought by Birmingham City Council.
Wendy Nixson, solicitor with law firm Irwin Mitchell, acting on behalf of four of the victims, said: "We are optimistic that criminal
proceedings will be satisfactorily concluded and this will lead to a speedy resolution to the civil claims.
"In view of the fact that 100 per cent liability has been admitted, we have already invited the defendants to make a settlement offer to our clients who are most anxious,
more than two years on, to draw a line under this traumatic incident and move on with their lives."
Last month Michelle Cartwright, who was dressed as a nun, received £3,000 compensation in an out-of-court settlement after she suffered back and neck injuries when the stage collapsed.
The 40-year-old mother-of-three of Bridgnorth, Shropshire, was awarded the compensation after the producers, Sing A Long Productions admitted liability.
Mrs Cartwright, who was represented by Coley and Tilley solicitors, said: "I sued because we had gone for a night out at the theatre. You expect to have an accident on the road, not at the theatre."

We humans gravitate to conspiracy theories like moths to a flame. As the latest Above the Noise video points out, conspiracy theories -- the belief that some secretive organization is responsible for a sinister circumstance or event -- is an inherent human tendency to try to make sense of complicated, threatening or inexplicable occurrences.
In that sense, Americans are not unique. People from every nation around the world are prone to conspiracy thinking. But … Americans do seem to have a special knack for it, as the continued obsession with JFK’s assassination or the new fascination with flat Earth theory shows.
Driven in part from our inherent individualism and distrust of authority, conspiracy thinking is very much a part of our national DNA, and has consistently been an influential factor throughout American history. In some instances, conspiracy theories have spread far beyond the fringes of society; many have greatly influenced our laws and culture and helped shape the very course of American history.
Conspiracy theories typically pop up during moments of national trauma or in response to deeply held prejudices. They are often prompted by waves of fear and insecurity, during periods of economic stress and when national security is under threat. Additionally, they are commonly spurred by a fear of foreigners, often in response to large immigration shifts.
In the age of social media that we now live in, it’s never been easier to spread conspiracy theories far and wide. Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter are bursting at the seams with all kinds of questionable propositions masquerading as truth. And all it takes is for a just a few people to share those posts with their networks, and suddenly rumors spreads like wildfire.
The spread of misinformation can sometimes have very real, very serious consequences. Take, for instance, the completely false Pizzagate conspiracy theory from 2016, which alleged that children were being held captive in the basement of a popular Washington, D.C. pizza parlor by Hillary Clinton campaign officials. For a while, it was all over right-wing social media feeds and fake news sites . And then the conspiracy theory jumped from the internet to real life in a scary way: In December 2016, a 28-year-old man from North Carolina took it upon himself to free the non-existent child prisoners by bursting into the restaurant and firing his semi-automatic rifle. Amazingly, no one was injured.
And in the South Asian nation of Sri Lanka, a series of completely unfounded anti-Muslim rumors posted on Facebook has recently stirred up longstanding ethnic and religious tensions, provoking a wave of violent incidents, mainly directed against the country’s Muslim-minority community. The story, documented by the New York Times, is just one of many instances worldwide in which false rumors, spread on social media, have resulted in real acts of violence.
Social media might spread conspiracy theories faster than ever, but conspiracy thinking inspired action, even violence, centuries before the internet. Consider this: Conspiracy thinking even fueled America’s rush to revolution and fight for independence against the British Empire. Thomas Jefferson and other proponents of independence helped spread the idea that the British government had an elaborate, sinister plan to suppress the American people and deprive them of their basic freedoms.
In A Summary View of the Rights of British America, a pamphlet Jefferson distributed in 1774, two years before the Declaration of Independence, he wrote:
“Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate and systematical plan of reducing us to slavery.”
So yeah, conspiracies theories are about as American as apple pie … which I hear causes hair loss (just kidding).
The following timeline tracks 15 of the many conspiracy theories that played a major role in shaping American history. These theories don’t necessarily reveal the truth, but they can tell us a lot about societal beliefs and attitudes both then and now.

Salted and Hung
Time Out says
Friendly warning! We're working hard to be accurate. But these are unusual times, so please check that venues remain open.
If it's been a while since your last visit to Salted & Hung, we suggest you hurry on down ASAP. For one, the restaurant has completely transformed: a sleek cement bar greets you as you first walk in, the Animal Farm murals have been replaced with tasteful works of art and the dining tables are all comfortably spaced apart, setting a tone for a more refined experience compared to its more casual past.
The menu has also been refreshed and centres around chef Drew Nocente’s culinary philosophy of minimal waste. You see it in practice through dishes like the green lip abalone, a highlight on the restaurant's new seven ($128) and 10-course ($168) tasting menus. The delicate shellfish is gently grilled over binchotan and sits in a sourdough essence made using brewing leftover bread trimmings, enhanced with vegetables and abalone liver – it's so good, you'll want to slurp it up straight from the bowl.
Another standout is the Jerusalem artichoke cut into small pieces and mixed in with other bits like wing beans, fresh seaweed and toasted buckwheat for a savoury crunch. It's topped with a confit egg and finished with an intense mushroom dashi that dials up the umami factor with salt made from the leftover artichoke skins.
A meal at Salted & Hung would not be complete without its signature house-cured charcuterie. The plate comes with four types of cold cuts: cured duck breast, sakura pork, bresaola and our favourite, lardo drizzled with honey and truffle oil.
Not to be forgotten are the desserts, starting with a sweet and salty take on cheese & crackers – diced fresh peaches and blood orange jelly are covered in a 30-month-old comté mousse – and finishing with Gold'n Gaytime, chef's reimagination of the popular Australian treat. It's a triumphant end to a faultless meal. So like we said at the start, run, don't walk, to Salted & Hung for one of the best dining experiences in Singapore right now.
Original review on Aug 1 2016 by Iliyas Ong
★★★★ Very good
Here at Time Out Singapore, we love our meat. Grilled, roasted, fried, stewed – whatever the method, if it once lived and bled, we’re on it like fat on wagyu. So when this Unlisted Collection restaurant cropped up as the ‘sequel’, so to speak, of the erstwhile 5th Quarter, its name alone made us salivate. Because you can’t salt and hang a salad, can you?
Curing, smoking and fermenting are front and centre of this Drew Nocente-led kitchen. That much is clear as soon as you step into the long shophouse space, see the little piggies on the walls and pass a dry cabinet in which all manner of salami and steaks hang, their hues ranging from deep mahogany to pale pink. There’s even kangaroo loin, a nod to Nocente’s Aussie roots, lurking in there.
So of course it’s the charcuterie, all made in-house, that we order right off the bat. The chef’s selection ($28) comes with five types of cold cuts, and opens the palate in anticipation of the rest of the meal. The pancetta and a type of prosciutto – it’s deboned before being cured – are pure and clean, while the red wine salami acts as a robust counterpoint. The funkiness and gelatinous texture of the headcheese, however, are not for everyone.
Like most meats on the menu, the pork jowl ($18) is treated before hitting the pan. It’s cured for 24 hours, then cooked sous vide for about 2 hours and finished on the grill. The meat is sublime: super tender with a layer of fat that disintegrates once we pop it into our gobs. But the dish itself confuses – the chunks of turnip are mushy, the too-chewy abalone adds nothing, and the plate lacks a pickled element to brighten the other, heavier flavours. (Okay, this is where we’ll take our veggie mockery back.)
Thankfully, the Blackmore wagyu tri-tip ($38) that arrives shortly after the pork – the rhythm of our meal is another triumph – is faultess, and demonstrates chef Nocente’s skills on the grills. Served with a swirl of beer frozen in liquid nitrogen and a swathe of corn purée, the dish tells a story through taste: first you’re hit by the sourish tang of the beer, then the sweetness of the corn takes over and finally the almost jerk-like smokiness of the beef blossoms and lingers on the tongue.
Salted and Hung has the potential to be a top restaurant with a clear and distinct philosophy. But minor details let it down, such as the overall blandness of the blue swimmer crab salad with uni, apple and asparagus ($23), as well as the bottled cocktails, called ‘elixirs’, which come across as an afterthought. Sure, we appreciate that the burnt apple milk punch and spiced Dodd’s Gin (both $16) are refreshing enough to pair with the carnivorous small plates. But they’re too light on the booze (another one of our favourite things) and boast little complexity – unlike the rest of the menu.

The adjustable high voltage generator drives the x ray tube. Using a collimator, it sends a concentrated beam of radiation to the high performance camera. The product to be inspected is positioned on the integrated belt conveyor between the X-ray tube and the camera where it is then x-rayed.
The resulting high resolution X-ray images correspond to the specific density profiles of the controlled products. Foreign bodies within the product are then detected on the basis of their higher specific densities.
The X-ray images are displayed in real time on the 15” touchscreen control panel. Simultaneously, by means of in-house developed image processing software, they are checked against a number of possible defects like impurities, product deformation, fill level deviation, and incomplete or broken products.
Defective products are removed from the production flow with the aid of any one of a variety of alternative mechanisms. The ejection crosscheck control (optional) reliably monitors this process. In the interest of full traceability, the images of the ejected products are archived with a date and time stamp in the image data memory.

The thing is that the Galaxy Z Flip3 turned out, if not in everything, then in many ways better than Project Chicago: it has full protection against water, a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 platform, a large (relatively) external display with a diagonal of 1.9 inches. Even in small things like dimensions and weight, the TCL device loses to the Samsung device. But most importantly, Project Chicago was not as affordable as TCL wanted it to be. In retail, such a smartphone would have cost $ 800 – versus $ 1,000 for the Galaxy Z Flip3. This, as well as the difference in characteristics and brand recognition – the last three nails in the coffin of the “project of Chicago”. Nevertheless, TCL does not abandon such a clamshell smartphone, but they talk about the release of a truly serial model in 12-18 months. Of course, this will already be a completely different smartphone.
TCL Project Chicago on the left, and its “killer” Galaxy Z Flip3 on the right
Nevertheless, it will not be superfluous to consider the characteristics of Project Chicago – at least to understand what components manufacturers are considering for such models.
Project Chicago is equipped with two AMOLD screens. Indoor 6.67 “Full HD +, outdoor 1.1”.
Hardware platform – Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G, RAM and flash memory – 6 and 128 GB. The smartphone received a 3545 mAh battery with support for 18 W wired charging and 10 W wireless charging. The front camera has a 44 megapixel sensor, the main camera has 48 megapixel (with optical stabilization) and 16 megapixel (ultra wide-angle) sensors.
Dimensions of the model folded – 86.5 x 78.1 x 17.9 mm, unfolded – 164.8 x 78.1 x 7.35 mm. Weight – 204.5 grams.

The whole world knows that football is the king of the world of sports which is most played and watched all over the world.
The international income of football related organizations or players is not in millions but in billions of dollars, FIFA, the organization that controls this game worldwide, also owns billions of dollars thanks to this game.
Let us tell you how billions of dollars accumulate in FIFA’s coffers and what FIFA does with this money.
First of all let me give you a surprising news that the winning team of FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar will get 44 million dollars out of the total prize money of 440 million dollars paid by FIFA to the organizers. There’s more inside FIFA news to tell you today.
Business is rarely that simple. If you create a product that everyone wants to buy, but that costs you almost nothing to make, you’re going to make money very quickly.
In short everything is happening with soccer’s world governing body, FIFA, which has a product that has many buyers but costs next to nothing.
FIFA’s expenses include sponsorships to the organizing committees of host countries, prize money for international events, travel and accommodation expenses for support staff, and funds to promote the game of football in various countries around the world.
You may say that FIFA spends all its income on this, but you are wrong because it is important to mention that when Russia hosted the FIFA World Cup in 2018, FIFA had some 4.6 billion dollars in revenue without spending. And the above expenses of FIFA do not make any sense in the face of such huge sums at stake.
The winners of the current Qatar FIFA World Cup will receive $44 million of the total prize pot of $440 million paid out by FIFA.
FIFA cycles its revenue over the four years from each World Cup to the next, and FIFA recently published reports on those four years for the two World Cups from 2015 to 2018.
In addition to this report, FIFA also announced that 2021, which is not a World Cup year, still filled its coffers with $6.4 billion, which was $766 million more than last year.
The majority of FIFA’s revenue comes from the sale of TV rights, with the World Cup and other international events receiving significant revenue from TV broadcast rights.
Football is the most watched sport on TV on the planet, it is estimated that more than half of the world’s population watch the World Cup, meaning 5 billion people watch the World Cup on TV alone.
Of the $6.4 billion FIFA collected last year, $4.6 billion came from broadcasting rights.
A variety of global companies also pay significant sums to FIFA for the right to advertise their company, with the biggest brands getting to partner on FIFA’s social responsibility projects, which gives the companies publicity.
Before the 2018 World Cup, FIFA received $1.66 billion from marketing rights, and in 2021 these rights increased by an additional $131 million.
Another source of revenue for FIFA is ticket sales, which is a subsidiary of FIFA and wholly owned by FIFA, with ticket sales totaling $712 million in the four-year period 2015-2018.
Last year, the Arab Cup in 2021 was watched by 600,000 people sitting in the stadium, this Arab Cup earned FIFA 12 million dollars.
The surprising thing is that almost 3 million tickets have been sold for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, which is worth 1100 million dollars, which means that this year will also be a bumper year for FIFA in terms of ticket revenue. .
Branding and Licensing
FIFA as a brand also derives revenue from digital media, recently ending a 20-year partnership of computer games with the well-known company ‘EA Sports’, bringing in 20 billion dollars in revenue for FIFA.
It is said that the famous software company ‘EA Sports’ paid 150 million dollars annually for using the FIFA name in its computer games.
FIFA also earned $180 million from the use of its name for merchandise, retail items and gaming.
Readers will have guessed what are FIFA’s sources of income and it is very unusual for FIFA, which earns billions of dollars, to give away hundreds of millions of dollars in the name of events.


National Digital Identity to be fast-tracked, says Anwar
PUTRAJAYA: The National Digital Identity (IDN) development project will be fast-tracked as part of an initiative to boost the digital transformation in the public sector, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim
He said that when it is in place, the IDN would serve as a secure, trusted digital information platform to obtain confirmed information.
"It will also ensure that online transactions are carried out in a digital environment that is safe and flexible," he said after chairing the Digital Economy and Fourth Industrial Revolution Council meeting on Sunday (Aug 27).
The National Digital Identity is under the National Registration Department and is aimed to be a way to verify identity on the Internet or an individual virtual identity online.
The Prime Minister said the meeting agreed on the implementation of initiatives to strengthen the ecosystem for startup companies and boost the involvement of local startup companies.
Anwar said Malaysia has set a target to be among the top 20 countries with a startup ecosystem by 2030 and to build Kuala Lumpur as a regional digital and start-up hub.
He said that to date, at least 14 agencies are involved in the ecosystem for startup companies and added that this includes financing, product development, marketing and expertise.
"The government will implement a 'single window' initiative to streamline and rearrange the functions of agencies involved in the startup ecosystem," he added, saying that the target is to establish 5,000 startup companies by 2025.
The Prime Minister said the government would continue to increase digitalisation programmes in the public sector to ensure the country enjoys digital development.


MANILA - Death penalty limited to "high level drug trafficking" has better chances of passing in the Senate, the chamber's leader, Vicente Sotto III said Friday.
Sotto said the measure would have his vote but he would only agree if it was limited to such category.
"I’d rather not use the words 'actively push'; but I’d allow it to be debated on the floor," he told ANC's Headstart.
"I'll have Sen. Manny Pacquiao, who is the principal author of that now to sponsor it. I would probably help him sponsor it, but only up to that level," he said.
Sotto took over the Senate leadership from Sen. Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel, under whose 2-year tenure death penalty did not prosper.
President Rodrigo Duterte promised to reimpose the death penalty during the 2016 elections as part of his anti-crime campaign.
Sotto said arguments that death penalty is anti poor or will not deter crime are "correct," except for high-level drug trafficking.
"High level trafficking, they’re in jail and they still operate and they can do everything they want because of money...There is no drug lord who is poor so they can avail of all the best lawyers if they want," he said.
The Philippines was the first Asian country to abolish death penalty in 1987, but it was reinstated under President Fidel Ramos in response to increasing crime rates. It was abolished again under President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in 2006.
The House of Representatives last year approved on third and final reading a bill reimposing capital punishment, but only for drug-related offenses.
Pacquiao has filed 3 separate bills seeking the death penalty for drug trafficking, kidnapping, and aggravated rape. Several other senators also filed capital punishment proposals for different crimes, but discussions on these were not prioritized.

People will not have their Pandemic Unemployment Payment cut for travel to green list countries, following a U-turn from the Government.
Minister for Social Protection Heather Humphreys told the Dáil that she would sign a regulation that will allow people receiving the Pandemic Unemployment Payment and Jobseekers' Allowance to travel to green list countries without having payments halted.
The move comes following huge controversy over airport checks on people, a number of which led to social welfare payments being suspended.
Minister Humphreys also said that her department will review all cases to date where people who travelled abroad had their payment stopped.
She said that of the 2,500 PUP claims that had been suspended, over 90% of cases were those who are no longer living in the country.
"If people want to travel to a non-green list country, it must be for essential reasons such as a bereavement or for health reasons", the minister said.
She said people must inform their local Intreo office before travel to prevent their payment being suspended.
Under legislation passed in the Dáil last night, anybody claiming PUP must be "genuinely seeking" employment.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin said that over 2,000 people had their payment cut following checks at Dublin Airport.
However, he said the vast majority of these cases related to people leaving the country on a permanent basis.
