Weekend Reading – Treatise on Modern Horology
It’s easy to forget that sometimes – especially when it comes to an old profession such as watchmaking – the best information can be found by hitting the books. Coming in at over 2 kgs and over 800 pages, Treatise on Modern Horology Theory and Practice is a hefty book that, aside from the intimidating size, is well worth taking a look at. In addition to the comprehensive technical information contained within, the seventy eight woodcut and twenty two copper plate drawings are a real delight.
Translated from the French of Claudius Saunier, the Ex-Director of the School of Horology at Macon (Académie de Mâcon), by Julien Tripplin (Besançon Watch Manufacturer) and Edward Rigg (Assay in the Royal Mint). Side note: Assay offices test the purity of precious metals, and are often associated with coinage Mints). Initially published in 1861, this edition was published in 1887 by Crosby Lockwood and Co.
There’s a tendency to look back and view 19th and early 20th century clocks and watches solely for their utilitarian function of time telling. In this case it’s refreshing to see such a well regarded book look beyond the inherent use of these mechanical instruments and to also promote the artistic and emotional elements behind horology. You could be reading about the force transmitted by trains or the theoretical sizes of balances, either way the reader can sense the enthusiasm to pass down the knowledge and share the ‘tricks of the trade’ so to speak, with the next generation of watchmakers and watch enthusiasts. As with many professions, the transmission of knowledge relies on a combination of formal written knowledge and practical hands on experience provided by ones teachers. The translators of the Treatise are well aware of this and see their contributions as but one of the sources for anyone vaguely interested in horology to rely on and draw learnings from.
“In all the mechanical industries great efforts are being made at the present day in the cause of technical education, but in order that such efforts may be successful it is the first importance that sound textbooks and competent teachers should be provided. We believe the present volume well supplies the first of these wants as regards the science and art of the subject”
The contributions (and the subsequent translation) of the Treatise on Modern Horology made to the field of horology didn’t go unnoticed by the wider Horological community. It is first and foremost a technical book giving a broad and detailed description of what it calls a “mechanical art”. In 1867 the work was honoured with a First Class Medal and a Gold Medal and Honourable Mention followed in 1868. Additionally the work was honoured with the Translation by a Diploma of Merit in Melbourne in 1880 and a Gold Medal in Paris (1881), “For Services rendered to the Cause of Horology.”. For their efforts in translating the work, Julien and Edward received the Palmes of the French Academy in 1885 and the thanks of the British Horological Institute”.
Covering the theory, mathematics, preparation and advantages of each type – the section on escapements is particularly noteworthy and warrants a closer look. Pics below.
A great book worth looking at, and if you are so inclined, there’s several digital transcripts floating around. But having said that, nothing beats picking up the real deal and flipping though an extremely comprehensive (yet very approachable) book on a topic we all love.

THE PIANO star tried to jump the queue at a hot showbiz party at designer Pierre Cardin's house in Cannes, France - only to find that nobody recognised him.
The New York native turned up at the villa at 1.30am on Saturday night (17MAY03) and asked the bouncer at the front of the line, "I'm Adrien Brody, can I come in?"
A source tells British tabloid THE DAILY MIRROR, "The doorman got on his walkie-talkie and said, 'Adrien Brody is here'. The man at the other end said, 'Who the f*** is Adrien Brody?'
"Adrien was mortified and went to the end of the queue. But then organisers realised who he was and welcomed him in. He went in but spent five minutes shouting into his mobile before storming out."19/05/2003 13:25

€180,000 has been raised thanks to the Fight Aids Cup, which pitted the Barbagiuans against the Cirque FC in a football match of legends at the Stade Louis II.
The match on 23rd January, which included legends of the game such as Didier Deschamps, Claude Puel and Clarence Seedorf, as well as stars from outside of the game, like Charles Leclerc and Louis Ducruet, was won by the Barbaguians this year. The victory followed two consecutive victories by Princess Stéphanie’s Cirque FC.
Whilst the game puts on a spectacle for fans in attendance, the larger goal is to raise funds for Fight Aids Monaco, chaired by Princess Stéphanie. It has now been revealed that the event, organised by her son Louis Ducruet, has raised €180,000 for the charity,
Fight Aids Monaco is an association that, since the early 2000s, has helped people living with Aids, whilst also working towards increased screening and prevention. The money raised from the Fight Aids Cup will allow the organisation, coordinated by Hervé Aeschbach, to fund its activities throughout the year, both in Monaco, as well as in France.

Delhi civic body will collect e-waste from doorstep, pay for it too
Around 90% of Delhi residents don’t know how to dispose of electronic waste, according to a 2016 study conducted by a non-governmental organisation Toxic Link.Updated: Jul 18, 2018 13:19 IST
Residents of Lutyens’ Delhi will soon be able to discard their electronic waste in an environment-friendly manner and will also be able to earn some extra money in the process.
In a first-of-its-kind initiative, the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) will start a facility for door-to-door collection of old electronic appliances such as refrigerators, laptops, mobile phones, desktops, printers and water-coolers from homes and offices that fall under NDMC’s jurisdiction. The council will also pay money to people in lieu of their old gadgets.
The project has been taken to ensure proper disposal of e-waste in the national Capital, officials said. Around 90% of Delhi residents don’t know how to dispose of electronic waste, according to a 2016 study conducted by a non-governmental organisation Toxic Link.
The civic agency said it has initiated the tendering process for the project and the facility is likely to begin in the next two months.
“The person or company selected for the job will be responsible for e-waste collection from NDMC’s offices, schools, hospitals as well as residential areas,” said a senior NDMC official.
Experts say most people don’t realise the consequence of discarding e-waste in an improper manner. These gadgets often land up in makeshift workshops, where metal is extracted of them using the crudest methods releasing a range of toxic elements.
“Once the gadgets reach unauthorised extractors, the devices are broken down, burnt and bathed in acid just to extract metals, despite the fact the recycling is e-waste is banned in Delhi. This crude process emits toxic fumes and chemicals that make way into the drains, and then to rivers and water bodies,” said Satish Sinha, associate director, Toxic Link.
“Though the e-waste management rules 2016 emphasises on producers’ responsibility for collecting e-waste in certain percentage every year, very few are following these norms. In fact, they are paying little attention to generate awareness among people for disposing the waste properly,” said Swati Singh Sambyal of Centre for Science and Environment.
“To ensure that the recycling of e-waste is done in a more environment friendly manner, we are approaching all the recyclers registered with the Central Pollution Control Board or State Pollution Control Committee for participating in tendering process,” said the official.
“The collector will need to share the details of goods collected by them with us so that we can build data about the tentative amount of e-waste generated every month,” said the NDMC official.
The civic agency will also identify at least five collection centres at resident welfare associations or market associations’ offices, NDMC’s service centres or parking lots for dropping off their e-waste.

text: The usage of environmental DNA (eDNA) to look for the presence and distribution of aquatic organisms is becoming a significant tool to monitor and investigate freshwater communities. in experimental circumstances. Our co-workers  optimized eDNA evaluation to identify this types in riverine drinking water samples and set up another primer pair particular to this types. The aim of this research was to assess eDNA recognition under different experimental circumstances and to assess naturally taking place and possibly inhibiting elements in aquatic ecosystems. We particularly hypothesized that (i) seafood density will not influence the achievement Vanoxerine 2HCl of eDNA recognition, whereas (ii) the current presence of sediment and (iii) humic chemicals (humus), (iv) drinking water movement condition, and (v) much longer time following a types had left a location decrease eDNA detection success. Material & methods Experimental design and sampling For the experiments, 120 similarly sized round gobies (were kept every day EFNB2 and night within a bin (still water no sediment). After fish removal, 39 water samples were taken (500 mL each with sterile bottles). Each potential inhibitor was put into nine samples in concentrations of 10 mg L-1 (three samples), 100 mg L-1 (three samples), and 1000 mg L-1 (three samples). The three untreated samples served as positive controls. To be Vanoxerine 2HCl able to simulate the impact of algae which might hinder the PCR reaction , the commercially available Shellfish Diet? (Reed Mariculture, Campbell, USA), an assortment of algae, was used. The next inhibitor was natural HUM (Floragard, Oldenburg, Germany) that is frequently within aquatic ecosystems . SEDA is really a grained commercial bentonite clay (Agrimont, Abensberg, Germany). This clay is loaded in the catchment from the river Danube in Southern Germany  and in addition occurs in other global locations (i.e. in the us  and in Asia ). SEDB was grained limestone (CaCO3), a typical surface bedrock, i.e. within the Southern and Northern Alps . Following the addition from the potential inhibitors, all samples were stirred for 10 seconds and filtered within around 30 minutes. Before filtering, pH and turbidity were measured. The observed values resembled those from natural waters  (treated samples: mean SD for turbidity: 9.0 14.3 NTU; mean Vanoxerine 2HCl SD for pH: 8.4 0.8; positive controls: mean SD for turbidity: 0.5 0.02 NTU; mean SD for pH: 7.5 0.1). Filtration and DNA extraction All water samples were collected just as and filtered within around 30 minutes after sampling using 0.4 m glass fiber filters (Macherey-Nagel, Dren, Germany). As an extraction control three filters per each filtration session were soaked with deionized water. Filters were stored in sterile 2 ml tubes at -80C until DNA extraction using the Vanoxerine 2HCl DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Primer design, PCR sensitivity and primer specificity Primers were made with Primer3 version 4.0.0 [40,41] predicated on a consensus sequence generated from all existing round goby Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI) sequences through the NCBI database (GenBank, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, date of search 15th of February 2016). To make sure species-specificity, primer sequences were in comparison to all available sequence data with BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool; Genbank, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast, date of search 19th of February 2016). The primers were NeoMel_NCOI1 (forward) and NeoMel_NCOI2 (reverse) and amplify a 130 bp product. The annealing temperature for subsequent qPCRs was optimized within a gradient cycler (Mastercycler Gradient, Eppendorf, Germany) with Vanoxerine 2HCl DNA, using 0.2 m of every primer, 1.0 L of PCR buffer, 1.0 L of DNTPs, 1.2 L of MgCl, 0.16 L of Taq polymerase, and 4.2 L of HPLC.

Gardaí need to be more visible in rural areas to help prevent rural crime, the Deputy President of the IFA has said while an Ennis representative has suggested farmers install a panic alarm to cut down on assaults.
Clarina dairy farmer, Richard Kennedy addressed members of the Clare JPC at their October meeting in Ballyvaughan. The Irish Farmers Association (IFA) has over 89,000 members, many of whom have relayed concerns regarding security to the Deputy President of the organisation.
In 2015, the IFA appointed a crime prevention executive who is responsible for providing an advisory service to members, establishing crime prevention initiatives and liaising with state agencies such as An Garda Síochána.
Submissions made by the IFA to bodies including the policing authority, commission on the future of policing, Garda inspectorate and the Oireachtas committee on justice have flagged concerns regarding confronting crime, roads policing, organisational development, capacity improvement, community policing and public safety.
“One of the main concerns that arise within the farming and rural communities revolves around communications between the farming community and An Garda Síochána. In order to build a greater level of trust and confidence, IFA believes members of the farming and rural communities must see a greater Garda Presence,” Kennedy outlined.
Kennedy highlighted that the assault, burglary, theft and trespassing are the most common crimes carried out on Irish farms. “We have seen where Gardaí are proactive on this it can be handled in some areas and it is only in some areas. These guys don’t want to be interviewed by the Gardaí,” he said of personnel guilty of stealing from farmers.
“Our biggest ask is that the presence of local Gardaí in rural areas be more visible,” the Limerick native who himself had his jeep stolen from his farm requested.
Upon hearing of the joint initiatives between the IFA and An Garda Síochána such as crimestoppers, community text alerts and property marking initiatives, Cllr Pat Daly (FF) stated, “There are a lot of criminals assaulting farmers in rural areas. When a group of criminals arrive, the farmer has no chance. Have ye thought of a panic alarm so that the farmer can alert the Gardaí immediately by pushing a button in such a case”. “That is a good idea but fortunately what you’ve said is a rare occurrence,” Kennedy replied.

New lab pre-print!! Rapamycin is effective, but it slows down surgical recovery. Here, we use our wound healing model in the Drosophila embryo to ask why.
Embryonic wounds repair rapidly, with no inflammation or scarring. Embryonic wound healing is driven by collective cell movements facilitated by the swelling of the cells adjacent to the wound. The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is often associated with cell growth. We found that disrupting mTORC1 signalling prevented cell swelling and slowed down wound repair. Catabolic processes, such as autophagy, can inhibit cell growth. Using five-dimensional time-lapse microscopy, as well as pharmacological and genetic manipulations, we demonstrated that the number of autophagosomes decreased during wound repair, suggesting that autophagy must be tightly regulated for rapid wound healing. Quantitative image analysis showed that mTOR inhibition increased autophagy, and that activating autophagy prevented cell swelling and slowed down embryonic wound closure. Finally, reducing autophagy in embryos in which mTORC1 signalling was disrupted rescued rapid wound repair. Together, our results show that mTORC1 activation upon wounding negatively regulates autophagy, allowing cells to increase their volumes to facilitate rapid wound healing.

Jakarta, MINA – Halal Expo Indonesia (HEI) will be held for the second time. The event will take place on December 6, 7 and 8, 2019 at ICE BSD Tangerang, Banten Province.
Halal Expo Indonesia 2019 carries the theme “Halal is Everything” which will be filled by the exhibition of halal products ranging from food, fashion, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, property, education, Umrah and Hajj travel, and finance.
According to Skyconnection as organizer of HEI 2019, there will be many talk show sessions presenting speakers from academics, regulators (MUI and BPJPH), practitioners, and scholars.
“At the first time, we only had a small talkshow session but this time we opened a hall to really have a conference,” said Aryo Wibisono, CEO of Skyconnection after the press conference in Jakarta on Thursday.
According to Aryo, the real purpose of the Halal Expo itself was in the context of preaching to unite the people, socialize, and explore public awareness about Halal.
The awareness of the Indonesian people about halal is still considered lacking and for this reason, it is expected that all visitors who attend the Halal Expo Indonesia have the same views and opinions on the meaning of halal.
Besides industry exhibitions, Halal Expo Indonesia also has a lot of interesting content. Featured content from Halal Expo Indonesia includes HEISpeak, HElshare, HElkids, and HElact.
HEISpeak is a discussion forum for visitors to learn and get more knowledge about Halal in Islam.
The speakers in this event were not only from asatidz or religious teachers but also from business people, academics, and regulators.
The purpose of HEISpeak is to unite opinions about Halal from different points of view and legitimized by the clerics according to the religious principles set out in Al-Quran and Hadith.
It is hoped that all visitors who attend and exit the Halal Expo Indonesia will have the same views and opinions on the meaning of halal.
Halal Expo Indonesia also provides a play area for children, namely in the Children’s Area. One of the many games provided is the Nussa character coloring contest.
In addition, Halal Expo Indonesia also held Adzan and Murottal competitions for elementary to university level. HEl provides Umrah Prizes and cash which will be handed over directly by well-known Qori Indonesia and Abroad.
Aryo Wibisono explained further Halal Expo Indonesia through the HElact program tried to carry and educate the program to reduce waste to visitors.
Starting from sadaqah rubbish, sorting waste, and reducing the use of plastic will try to be applied. With the aim of increasing public awareness by this less waste program to reduce plastic waste in Indonesia. (L/Sj/P2)

The Joint Coordination Committee (JCC) on Energy between the United States and Republic of Iraq met in Baghdad on February 5th, 2014 to reiterate their mutual cooperation on protecting and strengthening Iraq’s energy infrastructure.
Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Dr. Hussain Al Shahristani chaired the meeting with U.S. co-Chairs Deputy Secretary of Energy Daniel Poneman and Special Envoy and Coordinator for International Energy Affairs at the State Department Carlos Pascual.
Both sides stressed the significance of Iraq’s future energy sector development and the valuable role Iraq plays in international markets by providing a steady flow of petroleum. Improving the protection of critical energy infrastructure and oil from terrorist attacks or natural disasters was also discussed along with supporting Iraq’s efforts and capacity to harness its vast natural gas resources.
To achieve these goals a new working group under the JCC will be formed to focus on combining mobile power generation technologies with reduction in gas flaring. Additionally, the US Department of Energy and Department of State will work together with Iraq to develop approaches to protect Iraq’s energy infrastructure.
The Republic of Iraq and the United States put forth a commitment to convene the next JCC on Energy in Washington, D.C., at a date yet to be specified.

Bill Viola has been made an honorary member of the Royal Academy of Arts, London. The title of Honorary Academician goes to distinguished artists who do not reside in the UK. The 80 full Academicians, all of whom are practising artists, vote for up to two honorary members each year. Viola is selected this year alongside Kiki Smith.
Bill Viola (b. 1951) is internationally recognised as one of the leading artists of our time, an acknowledged pioneer in the medium of video art. His works include room-size video installations, sound environments, electronic music performances, flat panel video pieces, as well as works for television broadcast, concerts, opera and sacred spaces. This year alone, he is the subject of several major museum retrospectives.
One of the highlights in a year of major museum shows, Bill Viola: A Retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a comprehensive survey of Viola’s career to date (June 30-Nov. 9). Part of a programme of events to celebrate the museum's 20th anniversary, the exhibition traces the development of Viola’s work with some of his earliest pieces from the 1970’s up to the present day.
Bill Viola's work from the last 40 years is presented alongside Renaissance masterpieces at Palazzo Strozzi, Florence (until July 23). The exhibition also extends across the city into several of Florence's other world famous museums, such as the Uffizi Gallery and the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo and into the Tuscan regional cities of Empoli and Arezzo.
The exhibition stages a dialogue between Viola’s work and the great masters of the past that serve as sources of inspiration for him, such as Lukas Cranach, Masolino da Panicale, Pontormo and Paolo Uccello.
On the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, the Deichtorhallen, Hamburg presents Bill Viola – Installations. In this significant exhibition, Viola's monumental, ten-metre-high video installations transform the architecture of the darkened Hall for Contemporary Art into something akin to a twenty-first-century cathedral. It is an extraordinary stage on which to reflect on the relevance and inspiration of the spiritual dimension in contemporary art. On view until September 10.
Viola’s video/sound installation The Raft (2004) currently features at documenta 14. Described by the artist as ‘an image of destruction and survival’ it was commissioned by the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST), Athens and first shown as part of the Cultural Olympiad. It is on view until September 17.

Venezuelan opposition leader Julio Borges resigned from the post of commissioner of Foreign Affairs, which he held in the so-called "interim government" of Juan Guaidó, and denounced that the grouping committed acts of corruption.
"The interim government has become a group that has propitiated unacceptable actions of corruption that seriously hurt the democratic struggle and move us away from our goal of freedom," Borges expressed.
On repeated occasions, the government of President Nicolás Maduro has accused Borges of being behind the theft of state-owned companies abroad and directing destabilization and assassination attempts from Colombia.
In a virtual press conference, the opposition leader said that the "interim government" seeks to prolong itself indefinitely, and pointed out that it ceased to be a means to depose Maduro from power.
In 2018, the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) requested the extradition of Borges to Colombia, after accusing him of treason, intentional homicide qualified in degree of frustration, continued public instigation and conspiracy, for his alleged participation in the assassination attempt against Maduro.
In addition, Maduro has accused Borges of being behind the attacks against Venezuelan migrants in several countries. For his part, Borges stated that he will present a package of reforms for the opposition and the "interim government."
Julio Borges, who played Foreign Minister in Guaido's fictitious interim government, announces his resignation via zoom press conference. Borges calls for the elimination of the Guaido 'interim government' and for the installation of a new alternative platform. @KawsachunNews
Last September, the opposition political organization Primero Justicia announced that it would no longer participate in the spaces that attend to the management of Venezuela's assets abroad, after calling for a review of their management by Guaidó's interim team.
The Venezuelan government has denounced that the country has been stripped of its assets. Among these are the oil company Citgo in the United States, the petrochemical company Monómeros, and the gold it has deposited in the Bank of England.
In addition, Venezuelan authorities have said that the income of this company has been stolen by the opposition leadership to finance its personal expenses.

Initiated by ArtEZ MA Practice Held in Common and Crafts Council Nederland in 2018, The Linen Project investigates and works towards reactivating the economic viability of small-scale local flax cultivation and linen production in the Netherlands.
The Linen Project’s various activities are developed with a view to its broader relevance. Establishing a dynamic environment for research and production, the learning by doing approach to all stages and forms of flax and linen production unites and highlights the value of our natural, social and cultural resources.
The Linen Project seeks to reinstate the economy as a social, ecological and cultural domain, calling new ecosystems into effect by doing so. The Linen Project is committed to identifying, evolving and strengthening socio-economic patterns and behaviours that are rooted in a commoning approach. The project’s activities facilitate interactions based on participation, reciprocity and mutuality.
The inherent connections between (cultural) heritage, education, agriculture, design, crafts, and the economy, are activated within the context of The Linen Project. A growing awareness of this interdependence sets the exchange of diverse values, knowledge, skills and competencies in motion, generating insights for all involved and for the evolution of the project itself.
The Linen Project’s current activities include the cultivation and production of organic flax and linen in the Gelderland region, the Shared Stewardship initiative, the Linnen Kavels initiative, the development of a consortium for a small-scale flax spinning facility, and the facilitation of open-source knowledge exchange to create a community-supported basis for a local linen economy.

Feyrouz Abou Hassan became a symbol of Lebanon’s protests after carrying the same oversized Lebanese flag every day since protests started on October 17.
Despite her slender figure, 27-year old Feyrouz Abou Hassan is easy to spot in the crowd.
Every single day since anti-government protests erupted in Lebanon on October 17, the young actress has taken to the streets of Beirut, raising the same giant Lebanese flag high above her head.
Dubbed the “flag lady”, she has become a fixture of protests. Sown up multiple times, her flag, now looking slightly battered after 28 days of use, sports a small knot at the top.
"I make sure to never go out without it. It is a reminder. I always hold it high to remember that this is what we are fighting for," she told The National.
For her and other protesters, the giant flag symbolises the unity that they aspire to in a country where religious and political ties often take precedence over nationalistic ones.
“She is our flag queen. Whenever we see this flag, with its metal rod and knot at the end, we know she is here, and we feel safe,” said 29-year old Guy Younes, a civil engineer who has been active in protests, standing next to Ms Abou Hassan at a roadblock in a Beirut suburb.
“During the first three days of the protests, I had a small flag. Then I realised everyone else had one too, so wanted a bigger one,” laughed Ms Abou Hassan, who purchased her flag in downtown Beirut for $26 (Dh 95).
Lebanon has been rocked by several massive protests since the end of the civil war in 1990, but the latest ones are unprecedented.
For the first time, the Lebanese have taken to the street with only one symbol in their hand: their country’s red and white flag with the green cedar tree. Those flying the colours of political parties are kicked out.
For protesters, waving the Lebanese flag symbolises their massive rejection of the ruling elite which has governed Lebanon for decades and brought it, they say, to financial ruin.
“For once, we do not see different coloured flags that represent different parties or religions. We are trying to kill sectarianism,” said 41-year old Melissa Fathallah, a catering manager, watching Ms Abou Hassan wave her flag in a sit-in in front of the Justice Palace.
In the Northern city of Tripoli, which has become a hotspot for protests, people took down pictures of politicians to replace them with Lebanese flags.
The move, largely unheard of in a country where people depend on the support of political leaders as a substitute for state services, earned widespread sympathy from protesters across the country.
As power-sharing in Lebanon is divided by sect, political parties are also closely linked to the religious group they represent.
But chants demanding that all politicians resign, such as the popular “all of them means all of them”, also made others defensive.
Men took to the streets in threatening motorcades, flying their party’s flags to show their allegiance to their leaders.
“You’re always going to have certain people that stand by their political parties no matter what. But if you have this many people protesting on the ground then obviously the majority is against this. We are very tired of being different sects, different people. We just want to be friends,” said Ms Fathallah.
Ms Abou Hassan’s flag gained some notoriety late October when she fiercely defended it as the police tried to break a sit-in she took part in on a Beirut highway.
“I pushed the police away with it by placing it in front of their face,” she said. “That was the first day when people started noticing the flag.”
Symbolism aside, the flag’s long metal rod also makes Ms Abou Hassan feel safe.
“I’m untouchable. The police are scared of the metal bar. If they want to remove me now, they put their hands on the flag and drag me out. They take me and my flag out together,” she said.
Despite its potential to cause harm, Ms Abou Hassan said that she has never used the flag as a weapon. And she will not lend it.
“I do not trust anyone with it because they might use it to attack someone,” she said.
What people rarely notice is that her flag is flawed. The size of Lebanon’s symbol, the green cedar tree, and the width of the red strips are both wrong, pointed out Ms Abou Hassan.
She shrugged and laughed about it.
“It’s a fake flag but it’s a true flag too, you know”.

Understanding Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is a serious condition that can affect a person's field of vision. When macular degeneration occurs, the direct line of sight is affected and results in vision loss. However, peripheral vision remains unaffected. The condition can be caused by a variety of factors, however, the most common factor is age. Individuals over the age of 50 tend to commonly develop macular degeneration. Along with that, age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss in seniors.
The condition can also occur due to diabetes and lifestyle choices. When you visit us, our optometrist can perform an eye exam and diagnose macular degeneration. Once you receive a diagnosis, we can offer treatment to help slow its progression and help you manage your vision more effectively. If you have macular degeneration, some symptoms you may experience include blurry vision, low vison, and partial vision loss.
Diagnosis and Treatment
If you have concerns about your vision and think you have symptoms of macular degeneration, we recommend scheduling an appointment with our optometrist for an eye exam. If macular degeneration is confirmed, we can provide treatment and medication to help you manage the condition. Treatment is designed to slow down the progression of the condition and help prevent vision loss. Since there is currently no cure for macular degeneration, it is important to receive proper treatment and visit us regularly so we can monitor your eye health.

Minister courts industry in community colleges
The Ministry of Labour and Manpower Development says it would like to build strong partnerships with private sector companies in its Community Colleges initiative.
Labour Minister Henry Mussa said in an interview that move will help develop the skills base in the industries while also interfacing with the community colleges.
“This is a concept with which we intend to engage the private sector and other stakeholders in vocational training. We realise that it’s not only about equipping the youths with skills but also offering specific needs to the industry.
“This arrangement will help those that are already working to sharpen their skills in line with trends in their field. Such training could be necessary if, for instance, a company wants to acquire specific skills for its artisans,” he said. Meanwhile, according to Mussa, the official launch of the programme is scheduled to take place within the month.
The community colleges, among others, are aimed at increasing access to technical, entrepreneurial and vocational education training for out of school youths and those who fail to make it to formal institutions due to limited capacity and restrictive entry requirements. The first phase of the community colleges has 12 districts namely Chitipa, Karonga, Mzimba, Nkhatabay, Nkhotakota, Dowa, Mchinji, Dedza, Thyolo, Phalombe, Chiradzulu and Blantyre.

Texas Rep. Chip RoyCharles (Chip) Eugene RoyBillboards calling on House Republicans to ‘do their job’ follow members home for Thanksgiving Senate approves stopgap bill to prevent shutdown Senate scraps plan to force second stopgap vote ahead of shutdown MORE (R) pointed out the presence of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) in the state and his district earlier this month, predicting that the campaign arm will pour money into Texas in 2020.
“They are active. There are eight DCCC staffers — that’s the Democratic congressional political arm — eight of them in Austin right now. Probably half of those targeting Texas 21,” Roy told an audience at a campaign meet-and-greet fundraiser put on by the Republican Women of Kerr County earlier this month in audio obtained by The Hill.
“Do you know how many we have from the NRCC? Zero,” he continued, referring to the National Republican Congressional Committee, the GOP’s counterpart to the DCCC. “They are motivated, they are organized, and they are going to pour money into Texas because they believe if they can stick a stake in the heart of Texas, they can stick a stake in the heart of conservatism and limited government and their socialist dreams can come true.”
The comments were made during his opening remarks to the group.
Democrats have paid closer attention to Texas in recent years in hopes of making inroads in the state, which has long been dominated by Republicans. The move comes after the DCCC scored a couple of key wins in the Lone Star State in 2018, ousting former GOP Reps. Pete SessionsPeter Anderson SessionsBottom Line The Hill’s Morning Report – Presented by Better Medicare Alliance – GOP snags mic with impeachment protest Former Pete Sessions staffer to comply with subpoena in federal probe investigating Giuliani, associates MORE and John CulbersonJohn Abney CulbersonEx-Rep.

The DCCC is targeting six Texas seats ahead of 2020, including the 21st District, which is held by Roy.
The Cook Political Report rates Roy’s seat, as well as Texas’s 10th and 31st districts, “Lean Republican.”
The DCCC’s headquarters in the state are located in Austin, but the group has organizers throughout the state.
Roy told The Hill on Tuesday that voters will respond negatively to Democrats’ messages in the Lone Star State.
“The DCCC is targeting Texas and Texans will respond by telling them to sell crazy somewhere else,” Roy said. “If they want to put a big pile of money in TX21 and light it on fire, be our guest.”
Meanwhile, the NRCC maintained that the group was working closely with the Republican National Committee and the Texas Republican Party ahead of 2020.
“The NRCC is working hand in hand with the RNC and Texas GOP to ensure the state has the best ground game in the country,” NRCC spokesman Bob Salera said in a statement to The Hill. “Texas is and will remain a Republican state.”
A Republican official pointed out that the NRCC works more closely with the Republican National Committee, which runs the ground game in the state.

- According to Mortensen, this is a “wait and see” situation worth monitoring in the coming days.
Ball hasn’t found any reported interest since he worked out for the Patriots back in September.
There are obvious ties to the Bears, seeing as Ball spent the past few years working with HC John Fox and OC Adam Gase while in Denver.
Regarding Forte, Fox told reporters Monday that his injury isn’t believed to require surgery, and he should be able to return this season.
Ball, 24, was entering the third year of his four-year, $3.53 million rookie contract that included a $964,896 signing bonus when he was cut loose a few months ago.
It was surprising to see how much Ball has struggled since entering the NFL. He’s dealt with a number of injuries and wound up falling down the Broncos’ depth chart to the point where it was clear that they preferred their other options at running back.
In 2014, Ball was limited to appearing in just five games and rushing for 172 yards on 55 carries (3.1 YPC) to go along with nine receptions for 62 yards receiving and one total touchdown for the Broncos.

Jonas Akerlund's Madonna collaborations: reflections on the greatest
Director Jonas Akerlund has worked with Madonna on some of her most iconic music videos, bringing “Ray of Light,” “American Life” and “Music” to life. After he shared behind-the-scenes stories from her most recent video, “Bitch I’m Madonna,” Akerlund gave EW the inside scoop on what it was like to put together the rest of their greatest collaborations.
“Ray of Light”
This was the first music video Madonna and Akerlund worked on together nearly 20 years ago, and he says at that time, he still didn’t know how to behave around artists of her stature. “I decided to be myself and talk about the job as I see it and hopefully we hit it off,” he says. “It was a different attitude and we started to shoot it in Sweden. We shot a few days before I met her and that idea was so spread out. Both of us felt we had something special. We just worked together and I thought that was it. I went back to Sweden with a VHS tape showing them, ‘That’s cool!’ and then we moved on.”

Australia’s Queensland University of Technology (QUT) has developed the world’s first autonomous robot designed to seek and kill the crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS), which are devouring the world’s coral reefs.
Conceived by QUT doctors Matthew Dunbabin and Feras Dayoub, the COTSBot drone patrols just a foot or two off the seafloor and is outfitted with stereoscopic cameras to give it depth perception. It is also equipped with five thrusters to maintain stability and a GPS system. The drone is designed to patrol for up to eight hours, and when it encounters its target, the COTSBot injects it with a fatal dose of bile salts using a syringe. The robot can deliver more than 200 lethal shots of bile, which are harmless to everything else on the reef.
“Human divers are doing an incredible job of eradicating this starfish from targeted sites, but there just aren’t enough divers to cover all the COTS hotspots across the Great Barrier Reef,” Dr. Dunbabin said in a statement. “We see the COTSBot as a first responder for ongoing eradication programs – deployed to eliminate the bulk of COTS in any area, with divers following a few days later to hit the remaining ones.”
Due to overfishing of the marine life that eats them, the COTS population has exploded recently and allowed the starfish to feast on the world’s coral reefs. Research suggests that COTS are responsible for about 40 percent of the Great Barrier Reef’s coral loss.
One feature of the COTSBot that separates it from other drones is its ability to learn. The robot has been trained to identify COTS by using thousands of images of COTS collected on the reef. If is unsure about whether something is actually a COTS, it will take a photo of the object rather than injecting it. The photo will then be examined by a human and the feedback will be incorporated into the robot’s memory.
The COTSBot completed its first sea trials earlier this week in Queensland’s Moreton Bay to test its mechanical parts and navigation system and is expected to begin working the reef autonomously in December.

Trabzonspor will travel to Istanbul as it faces Kasımpaşa today in game week 24 of the Turkish Super League. The Black Sea team looks to overcome a major obstacle on the path to European tournaments with a win which would be a first for Trabzon this season in Istanbul.
Trabzon is currently fourth with 36 points. It lost twice and secured a draw in the three games it played in Istanbul in the 2018-2019 season. Its latest defeat in Istanbul came in a Ziraat Turkish Cup game against Ümraniyespor that ended 3-1. In the first game in Istanbul, Trabzonspor had lost 2-0 to league leader Medipol Başakşehir. However, Trabzonspor would want a repeat of its 3-0 win the last time it met Kasımpaşa, back in 2017.
Haluk Şahin, head of football at Trabzonspor, told Anadolu Agency (AA) that they were focusing on remaining in the top four to qualify for the European tournaments and the match against Kasımpaşa is a major challenge they would want to overcome without losing any point.
Trabzonspor's campaign this season was far from satisfying but it rose to the fourth place from six in the matter of a few weeks. Now, it continues its steady climb to the second position it had reached in the first half of the season. The team has pointed fingers at what they called biased referee decisions, while the lack of a consistent style and absence of skilled players have also added to its troubles this season.

An estimated 9 million People bought the rug pulled out from underneath them over Labor Day weekend as enhanced pandemic federal unemployment advantages expired, leaving hundreds of thousands of households within the lurch throughout a record-breaking season for COVID-19 instances and hospitalizations.
Some 35 million folks — almost 1 in 10 People — stay in households that will probably be impacted by the reduce. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) tweeted a response to these households: “Um, get a job?”
If solely it have been that easy.
Staff on this nation aren’t missing work ethic. They merely don’t have dependable baby care, well being care, or financial infrastructures to assist them in instances of disaster.
As a lot as lawmakers like Cruz want to consider that the pandemic is behind us, the variety of every day COVID-19 instances is three times higher than a year ago, with youngsters now representing more than a quarter of weekly COVID-19 instances. And there are still 5.7 million fewer jobs than earlier than the pandemic.
Vaccination charges are nonetheless lagging in a lot of the nation, but many state governments are undermining masking guidelines and different fundamental precautions. That makes returning to work extra harmful for frontline staff, lots of whom additionally proceed to lack paid leave or reliable child care.
Moreover, in a pandemic that’s sent billionaire and CEO wealth soaring, many staff are asking if their labor is well worth the threat if their bosses are those reaping the advantages.
As an example, Hilton CEO Christopher Nassetta rigged the corporate’s pay guidelines to inflate his 2020 compensation to $56 million — 1,953 instances greater than the corporate’s median worker. Frontline Hilton staff, in the meantime, face a 39 percent reduction in staffing as the corporate strikes to chop prices.
How might we anticipate an abrupt and mass return to work underneath these situations?
Republicans thought they might pressure it by merely reducing the added $300 per week in federal unemployment insurance coverage. It didn’t work.
Over the summer season, governors in 25 states prematurely ended the improved unemployment advantages to strain folks again to work. The outcomes? Unimpressive. Payrolls grew by a meager 1.33 p.c within the states that selected to finish the advantages — in comparison with 1.37 p.c in states that maintained them.
Unemployment insurance coverage wasn’t maintaining folks out of labor, it seems. It was maintaining them out of poverty.
After Congress expanded authorities help applications in spring 2020, together with unemployment insurance coverage, the variety of folks in poverty truly fell. All advised, pandemic authorities help applications stored 53 million people above the poverty line in 2020.
Had enhanced applications not been in place, the variety of folks in poverty would have elevated by 2.5 p.c, new knowledge from the Middle on Funds and Coverage Priorities suggests.
The pandemic unemployment advantages additionally, for the primary time, reached staff beforehand omitted of our already-faltering unemployment system — together with part-time staff, gig staff, and the self-employed.
Ending enhanced federal unemployment advantages throughout a world pandemic isn’t simply merciless — it’s ineffective. Taking away $300 per week — equal to $15,200 a year — from a single mum or dad received’t make that mum or dad return to work throughout a world pandemic. It is going to pressure them deeper into poverty.
Fortuitously, Congress has a possibility to construct a simply financial system that advances fairness within the pandemic restoration and past.
The $3.5 trillion reconciliation package deal Congress is debating would offer paid depart, common pre-Ok, reasonably priced childcare, an expanded Little one Tax Credit score, and higher well being care applications. These badly wanted investments would offer households and people with the social security web wanted to recuperate from the pandemic earlier than the subsequent disaster hits.
If coverage makers need to get folks again to work, they should make our financial system work for folks.

When a team considers trading a player, the best leverage often comes from the team credibly saying, “Sorry, we’re not trading him.”
For the Falcons, that becomes a harder sell, now that Jones has declared, “I’m out of there.”
Then again, it already was clear that the Falcons want to trade him. Although they haven’t announced it, the persistent reports operate that way, to the trained eye. League insiders and observers know that he’s available, and that the Falcons want to move on from him.
Now that the cat’s out of the bag, someone leaked this to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media: “The All-Pro requested a trade from the organization a few months ago, sources say, and the team then agreed to listen to offers. That’s how it began and why it continues.”
That still potentially understates the fact that the Falcons want to move on. Maybe Jones started it, but the Falcons have been trying for weeks now to finish it.
Maybe the comments from Jones will serve as a catalyst for trade talks, smoking out any and all interested teams. If Atlanta eventually can get two or more serious suitors to the table, the Falcons have a better chance to get closer to the second-round pick they want.
Again, one major factor will be whether and to what extent the Falcons are willing to pay part of his $15.3 million salary for 2021, which is guaranteed for skill, injury, and cap.
It’s nevertheless looking more and more likely that a trade will occur, if the Falcons and a new team can find a sweet spot of trade compensation and shared salary obligation.
