Tripoli, 26 February 2014:
Revolution anniversary celebrations continued in Tripoli last night, with local residents from various districts in . . .[restrict]the capital marching from Tajoura to Martyrs’ Square to remember the day when people from that area joined the revolution.
On 25 February 2011, people from Tajoura, Fashloom, Souq Al-Juma and Dahra gathered in Martyrs’ Square, then called Green Square, to protest against Muammar Qaddafi’s response to the initial uprising against his rule, and to show their commitment to the revolution.
The move was seen as particularly brave because five days earlier many people staging a similar protest had been killed by Qaddafi’s troops. Rather than terrify people into submission, the incident sparked an angry response, with residents from Tajoura, Fashloom, Souq Al-Juma and Dahra arranging a second demonstration.
Qaddafi troops again fired live rounds into the protest and many of the demonstrators were killed.
The day is marked every year by local people and yesterday’s march attracted families, children and the elderly. Some, wearing 25 February T-shirts, were on foot, families hung out of cars waving flags, while others rode bicycles, motorbikes and three people were even on horseback.

UFC welterweight/middleweight Nick Diaz has been through the mill since UFC 183, having allegedly failed a drug screen after a decision loss to Anderson Silva. The result was later changed to a no-contest when ‘The Spider‘ tested positive for steroids and sleeping pills, but Diaz had his own situation to deal with recently following his bizarre string of events on the night of UFC 183.
After giving two negative and one positive tests for banned substances, Diaz stood in front of the Nevada Athletic Commission to argue that the two USADA approved negative tests should stand, and the non-USADA approved positive test for marijuana should not be considered.
The NAC did the exact opposite, and in a show of immaturity, bitterness and potentially abuse of power, the Commission banned Diaz for five years, setting in motion a chain of events like no one had expected. Nearly everyone, including Ronda Rousey and Floyd Mayweather, voiced their support for Diaz, some fighters have even boycotted Nevada in the wake of their harsh decision.
Now it looks like the UFC are showing their support, as per Nick Diaz‘s Twitter feed:
@ufc put me in touch with their lawyers at Campbell & Williams and they will also be helping me with the NSAC
— nick diaz (@nickdiaz209) September 30, 2015
Just yesterday we saw Dana White appear at Jon Jones‘ arraignment hearing, and many pointed out that Diaz had no known support from the promotion he’s made his name under. Now we’ll have to eat our words, as this is an obvious show of aid for the stricken Stockton native.
Will this make any difference to the eventual outcome? Who knows, but it will certainly increase the options available to the former Strikeforce welterweight champion.
Stay tuned to LowKickMMA for updates!

The new 12"D disk brake is shown
in the top left picture compared to the original 10.5"D disk brake setup
in the top right picture. The tubular upper control arm, which made the
swap possible, is illustrated at the left.
I have installed 12"D disk brakes on my Grand
National. Much of the information, for the conversion, was collected
from the G-Body.org, GNTTYPE.org, and Global West sites. Other information
was taken from the GM 44W Parts Manual and an old copy of the Motor Crash
Estimating Guide. Basically, an aftermarket upper control arm, such as
Global West's or Hotchkis', is needed to adapt the taller spindle/12"D
disk brake assembly from the GM B-body (full size car, i.e. Caprice, etc.).
Although, the 12"D rotor to use is from the Camaro with the 1LE option.
The Camaro has the same 4.75" bolt circle diameter as the G-body, as opposed
to the B-body's 5" D bolt circle. The parts one needs for the conversion
are as follows
Global West upper control arms, no. CNR-88-CB, for turbo
Buick application w/brass bushing under downpipe & lower control arm
left front spindle, no. 18021052 (old no. 14012589)
right front spindle, no. 18016024 (old no. 14012590)
brake hose to caliper bolt, Motormite 13940 (same for G &
B body), qty. 2
pads for B-body w/12" brakes
brake pad spring clips, Carlson H5404-2
Russell steel braided hose kit, no. 9210/692100 (optional)
The spindles came on GM full size cars (B-body) with the 12" brake
option from approximately 1978 to 1992. Calipers were, at least, from 1982
to 1992. The G-body tie rods and lower ball joints will bolt up to the B-body
spindles. The G-body brake hoses and retaining bolt can be used.

December 2, 2009 (AFP) – Amnesty International on Wednesday pushed Sri Lanka to grant full freedom to 130,000 Tamil civilians who have been allowed out of camps where they were detained following the island’s ethnic conflict. The government said the camp inmates, who were displaced in the war against the Tamil Tiger rebels, were now free to leave. But many have been unable to return home as they have no transport and their villages are destroyed.
“A permanent release from camps must be accompanied by assurances that people are not subjected to further questioning or re-arrest in new locations,” Amnesty’s Sri Lanka expert Yolanda Foster said in a statement.
“It’s also critical that the government maintain its responsibility to care for displaced people wherever they choose to go.”
The London-based rights watchdog requested access to the makeshift camps, which have been widely criticised by the United Nations and international aid groups.
Camp residents were given their first opportunity to leave the sites in northern Sri Lanka on Tuesday, seven months after the Tigers’ defeat.
“Thousands of people have started to leave camps… but the promise to unlock the camps must be followed up by the prot

The U.S. Government, through the USAID Open Doors activity, increased its key HIV services to marginalized, vulnerable, and underserved populations in eight targeted districts over the past six years.
The USAID Open Doors Project, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health through District Health Offices, used an innovative approach to overcome barriers to accessing HIV services. The project reached over 135,000 underserved community members by visiting them in the community, offering peer referrals, utilizing social media, mapping community hotspots where risky behavior is more likely to take place, and providing flexible service hours.
The USAID Open Doors program provided individuals with HIV services including condoms and lubricants, family planning, STI treatment, HIV testing, and linkage to treatment. These services, along with the innovative outreach approach, contributed to Zambia recently exceeding the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) targets for HIV treatment and viral load suppression. Now 98 percent of those who are aware of their HIV status are on treatment, and 96 percent of those on treatment are virally suppressed – meaning HIV is undetectable in the body. Zambia is also on track to reach the goal that 95 percent of all Zambian adults living with HIV are aware of their status. The U.S. Government continues to support the Ministry of Health to achieve this goal and urges everyone to visit their local clinic to determine their status.
In addition to health services, USAID Open Doors also provided economic strengthening activities, such as savings and loans groups, and strengthened the capacity of civil society organizations, district health offices, health facility staff, and members of the community to play active roles in managing the HIV response. Impactful, lasting change is possible when everyone in the chain of service delivery is empowered. The U.S. Government, through USAID, continues to support priority and vulnerable populations through the Controlling HIV Epidemic for Key and Underserved Populations (CHEKUP) activity, which works to ensure that there are no gaps in service delivery.

pinion Poll: West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh has said his party has full faith in the judiciary and hoped it would be able to kick-start its Rath Yatra campaign from December 7. The Calcutta High Court had on December 6 refused permission to the BJP for holding the Rath Yatra in Coochbehar, after the West Bengal government refused to allow the event, saying it may cause communal tension.
BJP president Amit Shah was scheduled to flag off the yatra, touted as the party’s biggest political campaign in West Bengal, from here on December 7.
“We have full faith in the judiciary and are hopeful that justice will be delivered. We are hopeful that we would be able to take out the Rath Yatra programme from today (Friday),” Ghosh said.“Whenever we have wanted to take out a rally or conduct a political programme, the state government has tried to stop it either by denying us permission or tried to create procedural hurdles,” he alleged.The BJP decided to put on hold Shah’s proposed rally and the Rath Yatra, saying it will wait for the final order from the high court, which is scheduled to hear an appeal by the party on December 7.

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, conceded Friday that enforcing coronavirus-related restrictions and lockdowns on private Thanksgiving Day celebrations is pretty much near impossible.
The Land of Enchantment has banned “mass gatherings” of “more than 5 individuals who do not regularly reside with one another.”
“You can’t enforce that,” Grisham admitted during a recent interview on PBS NewsHour. “There is no way anywhere in the country we’re going to be able to say, ‘Look, you brought another household together. There [were] 10 of you having Thanksgiving dinner.’”
Instead, the governor said, the state is having to rely on “personal compliance,” which she argued is “really incredibly hard to attain in any state.”
“Getting our businesses to support us more productively, I think, has been a bit of a challenge,” Grisham explained. “But I have to say, today, they get it. And we’ve been incredibly firm about — if you’ve got four different rapid responses, positive cases, we come in, we close for 24 hours, get everybody tested. If you get four of those in a two-week period, you’re closed for two weeks.”
In order to avoid that, she said, business owners are “coming to the table with solutions.”
“I’m feeling better about enforcement and compliance,” Grisham added. “But we need a reset in our state and we’re gonna get it.”
The governor said her administration is “very nervous about what Thanksgiving could produce” referring to the spread of COVID-19.
She also claimed it’s been difficult because the federal government is telling people the coronavirus is “a hoax.” President Donald Trump, of course, has not called COVID-19 a hoax, despite claims to the contrary from Democrats.
Grisham said she is doing “all the right messaging,” though.
“And we — that’s part of the reset, right?” she continued. “If you limit where people go after they’ve been exposed, then I can limit the spread of the virus. So we’re taking all of that into consideration.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is urging Americans not to travel for Thanksgiving or to spend the holiday with family or friends. Meanwhile, according to the Transportation Security Administration, more Americans traveled by air Sunday than any other day since March 16.

Peter Shimamoto authors an opinion as a guest contributor of AsAm News.
In the wake of Aloha Poke Co.’s attempts to prevent other restaurants from using the name “Aloha Poke” on their menus, Peter discusses how the Chicago-based company’s position has little legal validity.
After the company obtained federal trademark registrations for “Aloha Poke,” its attorneys issued several cease and desist letters to restaurants also using “Aloha Poke.” When a Hawaiian restaurant refused to comply, there was much public backlash against the Aloha Poke Co.
Peter asserts that the poke chain’s position is not supported by trademark law and in fact violates section 2(a) of the Lanham Act. It falsely implies the restaurant chain is connected with Hawaii and Hawaiians. The article goes on to cite several

April is Sexual Assault Awareness month, and the Pentagon wants troops and civilians alike to know that it takes the issue seriously.
Aware and alert about what the brass calls a crisis in the ranks. Informed about the depth of the problem?
Mmm. They'll get back to you on that. Or not.
First, the awareness part.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, appeared side by side in a public service announcement stressing the need to eradicate sexual assault.
Dempsey: "We must stay committed to keeping our honor clean. We must strengthen our bonds of trust with each other and with the American people.
Hagel: "So step up — and help stop sexual assault. Thank you."
Awareness, evidently, ends when it comes to divulging the findings of an internal review that disqualified more than 700 troops from "positions of trust." USA TODAY reported last month that 588 soldiers and 151 sailors and civilians had been disqualified from jobs as sexual assault counselors, recruiters and instructors. The Air Force disqualified two airmen; the Marine Corps found all its Marines measured up.
Hagel ordered that troops involved in sensitive posts to be rescreened last year after the Pentagon found that an estimated 26,000 troops had been victims of unwanted sexual contact in 2012. And it took months of badgering the military to produce basic numbers for disqualified troops.
As to what the infractions or crimes those troops committed, the Pentagon is mute. Militantly so. There's nothing to suggest that the information sought is classified, and issues of privacy could be addressed by blacking out names. There is reason to believe some of the soldiers committed serious offenses — the Army is seeking to discharge 79 of the worst cases.
"These soldiers held positions of trust and were disqualified for a reason but we still don't know why," said Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., and a member of the House Armed Services Committee. "We know some committed sexual assault and child abuse and that others were busted for driving drunk but we don't know if they were discharged, retrained or simply transferred
"Where are they? What happened? Until the public and the Congress gets all the facts it's hard to know whether the Army is truly making great strides to clean up its toxic culture," Speier said.
Requests for more information about them were denied — in the first week of Sexual Awareness Month — and the Army required further appeals be made through a Freedom of Information Act request. For those who deal daily with the Pentagon, that's often the last resort. Requests can languish for years.
Maybe that's the idea. But it doesn't advance anybody's knowledge or awareness of the problem.

The country's oldest city park, Boston Common dates back to the 1630s. Consisting of 20 hectares (50 acres), the common is part of an extensive chain of parks linked by parkways and waterways. It's named the "Emerald Necklace" because of the way it appears to hang from the "neck" of the Boston peninsula. Pick up a map at the on-site information kiosk to locate notable burial sites within the park, including the graves of painter Gilbert Stuart, composer William Billings, and poet Samuel Sprague. To see the first subway station in America, visit the southern corner of the park.

Beautiful park filled with people just relaxing and enjoying the summer weather. There's a "freedom trail" to follow on the ground if you start at the Visitors Center. There's lots to see once inside, different grounds and play areas. Best known for hosting large concerts and Shakespeare in the Park! Also, one other hidden gem, is the parking lot located inside the park grounds. It's open 24 hours and has security patrols everywhere, very safe and well lit. Take elevators to sub levels, five levels in total.
The oldest open space in this wonderful city. Take a walk, book a tour, see some of the interesting little corners. The Freedom Trail cuts right through this wonderful public space. We took time to sit and enjoy the day a bit on one of the benches as kids and adults played, rode bikes, and walked. A couple of areas had public speakers giving their viewpoints. Within you will also find a couple of memorials and ponds.

Food for the Future
The population of the world is expected to grow by a third to nine billion by 2050. In order to feed this growing population, global food production will have to increase significantly.The September 2012 IAEA Bulletin edition has been produced on the occasion of the 2012 IAEA Scientific Forum, which brings together experts and policy-makers from all over the world to consider how best to use nuclear techniques to increase food production, to control animal and plant diseases that threaten food supplies and to guard against food contamination. It reports on the IAEA using nuclear technology for food management across the globe, improving crops in Peru, helping Member States diagnose and control pests and supporting them to build capacity in the field. Nuclear science is applied in a variety of ways to improve food production: radiation-induced mutation breeding, carbon tracing to improve soil fertility, and other techniques aimed at adapting food production to climate change.

The crib had been assembled and the stuffed animals lovingly arranged, awaiting the arrival of 6-month-old Oliver, in the Queens apartment.
Writer David French and his wife, Chanin, couldn’t wait to bring the boy, their newly adopted Vietnamese son, to their home in Jackson Heights from Hanoi last week. Parents for the first time, they were prepared for a special Thanksgiving.
But their dreams of parenthood have turned into a bureaucratic nightmare.
Despite having Oliver’s adoption fully recognized by Vietnamese authorities in October, the Frenches were informed by US officials that the boy would be denied a visa and could not return with them to America.
The couple is not alone. More than 20 American families who adopted Vietnamese children in recent months have been prevented from bringing them home by US Citizenship and Immigration Services.
The families remain marooned in Vietnam as they struggle to appeal their cases.
US officials, concerned about baby selling and general impropriety in the adoptions of Vietnamese children, have cited various reasons for denying the visas. Most rejections are based on irregularities in paperwork, including missing signatures or conflicting accounts of the children’s histories.
“We are recognized as Oliver’s parents,” David French said. “Even the US officials accept that. They just won’t give him a visa.”
The couple’s lawyer, Lynda Zengerle, represents seven families fighting to bring their kids home from Vietnam. Boosted at the time by Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY), she successfully lobbied on behalf of 12 couples who faced similar rejections in 2002.
“It makes me so angry,” Zengerle said. “It’s a dispute between the Vietnamese and US governments, and these families are stuck in the middle.”
Zengerle also represents Tommi Sawyer of Millville, NJ, whose adopted Vietnamese daughter, Anabelle, was denied entry into the United States this month.
Sawyer, a single mother, said she had to return home to take care of her family business while the 5-month-old girl remains in Vietnam.
“I don’t want her to spend her first Christmas in a foster home,” she said.
David French, 41, returned to Queens last week to take care of business matters but will be on a flight Thursday to Hanoi to rejoin his wife.
He said he and his wife have leased an apartment in Hanoi.
“This has thrown our entire lives into disarray,” he said. “But Oliver is an amazing kid, and that makes all of this worthwhile.”

NHLPA executive director Marty Walsh believes the Arizona Coyotes should relocate if there isn’t a suitable arena plan in place by the end of the 2023-24 NHL season.
“If there’s no plan in Arizona, I would encourage a move to another location, absolutely,” said Walsh, speaking at NHL All-Star Weekend on Friday. “I think the league feels that Arizona is a good market and I can understand that. The issue I have, and the players have, is how long do you wait to get a home? They’re playing in a college arena and they’re the second tenant in that arena. This is not the way to run a business.”
The Coyotes called Glendale home from 2003 until 2022, when the city council decided not to renew their arena lease. The team is playing its second season at Mullett Arena, a 5,000-seat building on the campus of Arizona State University. It was a temporary fix while owner Alex Meruelo sought to build a $2.1 billion entertainment district in Tempe, on a landfill owned by the city. But that plan was rejected by voters on a special election ballot last May, which sent the team scrambling for alternatives.
When asked whether Coyotes players would support an abrupt relocation after this season, Walsh said that “the players want to play in an NHL arena.”
He also blasted the team for not working with the players’ union since he took over last year.
“I’m extremely disappointed in the ownership of Arizona and the president of Arizona. We have a team in Arizona that doesn’t seem interested in having conversation with the union who represents the players that play on that team,” he said.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said that Coyotes’ arena situation “will be addressed in the next few weeks,” as Meruelo “is focused on one piece of property.” Last August, Meruelo executed a letter of intent to purchase a parcel of land in Mesa to potentially build a new sports arena and entertainment district.
“Alex Meruelo told me as recently as last week that he was certain he was going to get this done. I don’t make it a practice of contradicting owners unless I have hard facts to the contrary,” said Bettman on Friday. “I’m both hopeful and reasonably confident that he’s going to do what he says.”
Bettman stressed that the NHL is not in an expansion mode, nor is it interested in relocating a team. That’s despite significant interest from Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith in bringing a team to Salt Lake City, although Bettman characterized that interest as being focused more on expansion than relocation.
“We have no formal expansion process set up. We’re listening to the expressions of interest, and I think it’s fair to say that the Utah expression of interest has been the most aggressive and has carried a lot of energy with it,” said Bettman.
Bettman mentioned the league has had conversations with representatives from Houston, Atlanta, Kansas City and Cincinnati about potential NHL expansion.
Walsh said he hasn’t seen the data on Salt Lake City’s viability as a market, other than that it’s growing as a market. He speculated a team there “could be another Vegas Golden Knights or Seattle Kraken,” citing two recent NHL expansion success stories.
He also didn’t rule out Utah as the next home for the Coyotes, as he again expressed exasperation with their lack of an arena plan.
“The next deadline for me is tomorrow. I mean, it’s right now,” he said.

Perhaps that’s part of the motivation behind the latest effort to break up the State of California itself. Venture capitalist Tim Draper, who four years ago tried and failed to qualifya “Six Californias” ballot initiative, is back with a “Cal 3” measurethat would more modestly trisect the Golden State.
Draper’s re-design: a new state of Northern California (the San Francisco Bay Area and the expanse of land from Sacramento to the Oregon border); Southern California (San Diego, the Inland Empire and the Central Valley expanse); and California (the Los Angeles sprawl moving north to Monterey).
Draper says he has enough citizens’ signatures to qualify for the November ballot. Should “Cal 3” pass, California’s governor would request that Congress grant approval within twelve months. Meanwhile, the State Legislature would decide how to divide California’s assets and liabilities between the new states.
What to take at this latest effort to drag California through an electoral divorce court?


text: Help puppy farm survivors resources Please make a donation to Hope Rescue today to care for these puppy farm survivors, and help us to be a voice for the countless pups and breeding adults in puppy farms across Wales. Gracie and Roly were both born in the squalor of a Welsh puppy farm nearly nine years ago . Gracie the basset hound took lots of patience in her foster home to teach her how to live in a house, including housetraining and walking on a lead. When she came to Hope she had no sight in her right eye and limited vision in the left. She was rehomed to a lovely family who worked patiently on her issues. Sadly she has since lost her other eye, a long-term effect of the horrific conditions where she spent the first year of her life. Roly the chocolate lab was the the runt of a large litter. Separated from his litter-mates, caged alone and terrified in the dark, he waited to die, a puppy that was never meant to survive. Taken to be put to sleep before he was three months old. Thankfully, he was saved by Hope Rescue and placed in one of our foster homes. His life-limiting health problems soon became apparent: they included kennel cough and lungworm infections, hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, shoulder disease, a deformed jaw and stunted growth. With all of his ongoing health conditions it was a challenge to find him a home, but finally he found his forever sofa with Paula, a member of the Hope Team. Nine years later he is still suffering from the impact of his poor breeding, his sore joints are causing him a lot of discomfort so he has started a course of hydrotherapy and he still requires regular medication. The problems for dogs like Gracie and Roly don't just go away once they move to their forever homes - they keep paying the real costs of the greed of puppy farmers for the rest of their lives. Thank you to everyone who signed our recent petition to refuse planning permission for a puppy farm in Blaenau Gwent. The good news is the planning committee has resolved to refuse permission, however, the story is far from over as there is the opportunity to appeal the decision. And we understand that the property is still currently being used for breeding dogs. We will continue to fight against the intensive breeding of unhealthy dogs and we will keep you updated with progress in this case.

This summer, the John Lewis Partnership is making a £100,000 donation via one of their charity partners, FareShare, to ensure thousands of nutritional meals reach people in need across the UK, including many who may be missing out on free school meals during the holidays.
According to The Food Foundation’s 2023 Broken Plate report, deprivation means a fifth of UK adults consume less fruit and veg (37% less), oily fish (54% less) and dietary fibre (17% less). So we’re focusing on providing fresh, healthy and nutritious whole foods to those who need it most. They’ve also shared that 4 million children are living in households facing food poverty which has doubled in the last year, whilst food insecurity has impacted 9.3 million adults.
Waitrose and John Lewis have been working with FareShare, a charity dedicated to fighting hunger and reducing food waste across the UK, since 2017. So far, over 16 million meals from surplus food have been diverted from Waitrose shops and distribution centres. That’s over 7,000 tonnes of food that has saved over 16.4 tonnes of CO2 from being produced.
“Everyone has the right to good, nutritious food, the need for which extends beyond school term time.” Lindsey Crompton, Social Impact & Health Lead at the John Lewis Partnership said.
“We have a long-standing partnership with FareShare and their selfless volunteers. We have worked together to divert food, donate funds and share skills with those who need it, up and down the country. Right now many people are struggling to feed themselves and their families, so we want to help ease the pressure for those who risk going hungry this summer by working in partnership with FareShare and some of our key suppliers.”
During 2022-23, FareShare redistributed the equivalent of nearly 128 million meals - that’s 4 meals every second. Nearly 70%* of the support FareShare and its associated charity partners provide is received by families with children under the age of 18. This summer we will connect Fareshare with our own Waitrose suppliers, including Primafruit, Produce World and Dovecote, to get healthy, good food direct from farms to families in need.
“The demand for FareShare food has skyrocketed as a result of the cost of living crisis, and will continue to rise throughout the summer holidays when more families rely on these vital local services to feed themselves and their loved ones.” Claire Kerrin, Commercial Manager at FareShare, said.
“We’re pleased to be working with Waitrose farms and suppliers, which offers FareShare a fantastic opportunity to distribute fresh food to those who need it, at a time when millions of people are going hungry across the UK.”
Jamie Marskell, Primafruit Managing Director, said: “Primafruit are so proud to be part of this programme, supplying the healthy fruit we source with care, to those with a real need. Working in partnership with Waitrose and FareShare this Summer is a wonderful way to work towards changing lives for the better.”
We’re also grateful to our Waitrose customers who have generously donated food and other everyday items in our stores to local food banks. In the last year, 1,156 tonnes of food and other items were given to The Trussell Trust via 190 Waitrose collection points, an increase in donations from last year by around 48%. Spurred on by our customer’s increased support, we’ve also doubled our annual donation to The Trussell Trust, to £540,000 this year, supporting communities through the current cost of living crisis.**
*Stats are taken from FareShare’s 22/23 Impact Survey ran in Jan/Feb 2023.
**Waitrose are also helping customers with the rising costs of living, by cutting prices for the second time this year as part of a record £100m investment.

Kampala — It has emerged that Senegal is among three countries that Fufa have sought to face Uganda Cranes here in an international friendly next month.
Daily Monitor has learnt that the Lions of Teranga are the football federation’s preferred visitors prior to the 2018 World Cup qualifying game against Congo Brazzaville at Namboole.
Such a game would happen in the days leading up to the November 12 clash on match-day two of the six-game group E qualification campaign.
The national team picked a commendable goalless draw away in Ghana on Friday as Egypt beat Congo Brazzaville 2-1 in the other group E game played Sunday.
Before the Ghana game, The Cranes had played and lost a similar friendly to Togo in Lome but it proved vital for the Ugandans who run away with a crucial point at Tamale.
Fufa publicist Ahmed Hussein could neither deny or confirm if the 2002 World Cup finalists, who qualified for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations with a perfect record were coming. “Because of the finances involved, we have to look at the schedules of the teams that will be playing that weekend before we zero in on any,” Hussein said.
Besides Senegal, a source told this newspaper that Fufa have also contacted Burkina Faso and Zambia. The cordial relationship with the latter could also come into play. “We have spoken to our Zambian friends. They told us that an Afcon campaign would cost us and they advised to have at least US$2m,” Fufa boss Moses Magogo told the media last month. “We have sought advise from them on a cross-section of things.”
Those travel schedules tilt the equation heavily in favour of Senegal. On match-day two, the West Africans, who beat Cape Verde 2-0 on Saturday, will travel to South Africa for a group D tie.
Burkina Faso, also in the same group, make the ‘short trip’ across the Atlantic ocean to Cape Verde islands.
Zambia, beaten 2-1 at home by Nigeria, are Cameroon-bound next month. “Our target is to have a team that can go through here then we provide something for them,” Hussein added.
Also, Magogo and Uganda Cranes coach Micho Sredojevic last month promised to host one of the 15 Nations’ Cup bound sides for a friendly before facing Congo Brazzaville.
“We plan to bring one of teams we might meet in Gabon here in November,” Micho said then. Such a plan would knock out former African champions Zambia who didn’t qualify. Uganda last played Senegal in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers, drawing 1-all here before losing 1-0 in Morocco with Liverpool’s Sadio Mane getting the goal.

We’re keeping a close eye on Trevor Matthews’ directorial debut, Girl House, which begins its limited theatrical and VOD release from eOne Films over Valentine’s weekend; and if you are too, you can check out the film’s soundtrack by tomandandy right now! It releases digitally TODAY, followed a month later by the CD. You’ll find all the details, including the full track listing, below.
From the Press Release:
Lakeshore Records will release GIRL HOUSE – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack digitally on February 10th and on CD March 10, 2015. The album features the film’s original score by tomandandy (The Strangers, The Mothman Prophecies) along with an original track performed by Slaine, who portrays Loverboy in the film.
“We tried to develop a suspenseful tone while avoiding cliché. The themes of the film, while obviously contemporary, are also connected to primal human experiences; and it was dark fun for us juxtaposing terror and imbalance with the trappings of modern internet life,” said tomandandy.
tomandandy is a music production company. While they are best known for their work scoring films, their portfolio includes records and art installations as well as music for television commercials and television programs. Andy Milburn was born in Texas and went to Princeton University for undergraduate as well as graduate work. Thomas Hajdu was born in Canada and moved to the US to work on his graduate studies at Princeton University.
Milburn and Hajdu moved to New York after Princeton and started collaborating with film director Mark Pellington at MTV. tomandandy quickly grew, and they built a number of recording studios in New York and later in Los Angeles. Their film credits include Resident Evil: Afterlife, Killing Zoe, Arlington Road, The Rules of Attraction, The Hills Have Eyes, and The Mothman Prophecies; they have worked with artists including U2, Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson, David Byrne, William Burroughs, Alicia Keyes, and Wes Borland. They’ve also worked with several directors including Roger Avary, Oliver Stone, Mark Pellington, Paul Anderson, Alex Aja, and Bryan Bertino and film producers including Mark Gordon, Greg Shapiro, Jeremy Bolt, Robert Kulzer, and Howard Gordon.
GIRL HOUSE follows a beautiful young college student who, needing money for tuition, moves into a house that streams content to an X-rated website. After a deranged fan hacks in to determine the house’s location, she finds herself in a terrifying fight for her life.
“We really enjoyed the thoughtful and engaging process of working with Trevor Matthews [director] and Nick Gordon [writer],” said tomandandy. “We had meaningful dialogue from the spotting session to the ‘Loverboy’ theme at the beginning of the film until the ending. Their take on the implications of technology and society [was] very interesting, and we were excited to help accentuate that by creating music that was at times technologically influenced, yet often traditionally orchestrated. Our goal was to help to support the visceral experience they captured.”
Brookstreet Pictures presents GIRL HOUSE in theaters on February 13, 2015. GIRL HOUSE – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack will be available digitally on February 10th and on CD March 10, 2015.

For the first time, Panerai has created an automatic version of the Radiomir 1940. The new caliber (P.4000) is in-house made and features an off-center rotor made of tungsten or 22K red gold, which allows more of the movement to be viewed, unobstructed, when it is off your wrist. Also, something we love about it, is the full balance bridge. The Rolex caliber 3135 and Audemars Piguet caliber 3120 also have traversing balance bridges, which improves shock and vibration resistance. Not to mention, the impressive 3-day power reserve (two barrels). The P.4000 has 31 jewels, 203 total components and a cadence of 4Hz.
The Radiomir 1940 3 Days Automatic is available in steel with a black dial and red gold with a brown dial. The case measures 45 mm in diameter and is polished to a mirror finish. The dial features Panerai’s signature sandwich construction. Functions include hours, minutes and small seconds.
The Panerai Radiomir 1940 3 Days Automatic Acciaio (steel) and Oro Rosso (red gold) come on either a black or brown alligator strap, with a polished buckle matched to the case metal (steel or red gold). Water-resistance is 100 meters.

Someone (I think it might have been Pegapup) told me that the set of pattern drawings (in the instruction sheets) on commercial patterns is to scale, and if you scan them and scale them up about ten times, they will be close to Super Dollfie size. I need to make the same coat for "Captain Davon" that I did for J, but of course the scale of the pattern I have is too big, since it's for a human (Simplicity 0857_Halloween). So I went ahead and scanned the instruction sheet, sized it up by ten, and then laboriously selected printable sections in Photoshop, and printed them out and taped the pieces together. I was encouraged that the pattern pieces do indeed seem to fit together:
Here I did some alterations--I added seam allowance around the edges of the pieces, and as the Granado dolls are tall, I lengthened the coat and the sleeves, and I added the lapels and the extra cuff piece that is on the Royal Navy uniforms for a captain. I still need to figure out how to add a standing collar to my altered pattern, and I need to cut the patch pockets (though the flap is cut out).
Still a long way to go... and I am not looking forward to the buttonholes. :o At least my doll now has stockings, with heels I had to stitch in by hand (they look very sloppy, it's a good thing they will be in shoes.)

Verizon to invest $100 million in solar, fuel cell technology
Verizon said on Tuesday it plans to invest $100 million in solar power and fuel cells at 19 facilities in seven U.S. states to cut its carbon footprint and make its operations more resilient to storms and other disasters.
The energy project should be complete by next year, with installations at corporate offices, call centers, data centers and central offices of the telecommunications giant in Arizona, California, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and North Carolina.
The fuel cells will be powered by natural gas, which emits less climate-warming carbon dioxide than diesel or petroleum when burned, said James Gowen, chief sustainability officer for Verizon Communications Inc.
Gowen declined to say how much money the telecommunications company would save with this investment, but did say it would be good for the bottom line.
"I have a CFO and a CEO who are telling me quite often, 'We are not going green for green's sake.' So we absolutely have a positive return on investment based on a 10-year net present value," Gowen said in a telephone interview.
Like many other U.S. companies, Verizon aims to be more environmentally sustainable and beef up its green credentials, but another key reason for the energy shift was to bolster reliability.
When Superstorm Sandy battered the U.S. East Coast last year, the fuel cells at the company's Garden City site on Long Island kept operations running when parts of the conventional power grid went down, Gowen said.
ClearEdge Power will install fuel cell systems at Verizon sites in California, New Jersey and New York, the company said. Sunpower Corp. has a multi-year agreement with Verizon to put in rooftop and ground-based solar cells and solar parking canopies in Arizona, California, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and North Carolina.
Together, these changes are expected to generate some 8 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually and cut the company's annual carbon footprint by more than 5,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide.


A Senegalese courtroom on Thursday gave opposition politician Ousmane Sonko a two-month suspended jail sentence for defaming a minister.
Ousmane Sonko, 48, needed to reply for defamation, insults and forgery towards the Minister of Tourism Mame Mbaye Niang.
Along with the two-month suspended jail sentence, the courtroom fined Mr Sonko, who was absent from the listening to, 200 million CFA francs (300,000 euros, Ed.) to be paid to the minister. It launched him from the offences of insult and forgery.
In response to Sonko’s authorized staff, the opposition politician continues to be eligible to run within the presidential elections in 2024.
The opponent, who got here third within the presidential election in 2019, and his supporters declare that the judiciary is being utilized by the federal government to get rid of him politically and clear the way in which for the incumbent Macky Sall.
Opposition requires protests on Wednesday and Thursday appeared to have little impact.
Lots of of individuals have been arrested in current weeks, together with amongst Sonko’s supporters.

Street view now available in Sharjah and Ajman
Google has announced the arrival of Street View in Sharjah and Ajman, a feature by Google Maps that will allow users to view and navigate 360 degree street-level imagery of major streets across the two emirates.
The first Street View Special Collect in the UAE was launched in 2013 for Burj Khalifa followed by the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center and the Liwa desert in Abu Dhabi. In 2014, Dubai was the first Arab city to have Street View on a street level.
Street View was first launched in May 2007 and is already available in more than 3000 cities across 63 countries around the world
Some of the special areas captured by Street View are Al Noor Mosque, the Khor Fakkan and Kalba enclaves on the East, the Al Tamal camel track and the Al-Murabaa Watchtower on the Corniche.
The Trekker equipment gathered imagery of the Al Majaz waterfront and the Al Qasba with its “Eye of the Emirates” Ferris wheel. The Trekker equipment is a wearable Street View backpack with a camera system on top that is designed to go down footpaths, tracks and narrow pathways to get images of areas of natural beauty or tourist sites.
The Street View car covered the following streets in Sharjah: Al Khan, Al Wahda and Corniche Street - and the following streets in Ajman: Al Muntazah Street, Sheikh Rashid Bin Humeed, Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed and Sheikh Ammar Bin Humaid street.
Google Street also returned to Sheikh Zayed road to update its imagery since its initial capture last year.
Antony McLoughlin, Street View Program Manager, for Google in Europe, Middle East and North Africa, said: “We have been expanding Street View across the UAE and hope to do add additional imagery in the future.”
Street View imagery is gathered by a vehicle equipped with advanced imaging technology - a camera mounted on the roof of a car that collects imagery and location data. After collection, the imagery is stitched together to create the 360° panoramic images that allows you to move around and explore locations as if you were there.

HOW TO COMBINE HISTORICAL AND TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE - MASTER'S LEVEL TEACHING EXPERIENCE
The article presents experience in teaching how to connect historical and technical knowledge. First aspect of the course was based on using archival material to analyze the changes in urban space between a selected historical period and contemporaneity. The second part was related to the use of GIS solutions to integrate archival data in digital repository accessible from an online map. The task was carried out in the form of practical project on master’s level, realized from the beginning (source data search) to the final presentation (Internet map).
The test area was the small city Glebokie in the 30s of the twentieth century. The study area in selected period was located on the former territory of Poland, in the Vilnius region. Today it is the part of the Republic of Belarus, near the Vitebsk. Political changes results in e. g. a lot of changes in street locations and names as well as function (or destruction) of buildings. There are not so many archival data related to this city, there was a lack of cartographic data in selected period, accessible archives are prepared in different languages.
Therefore, the task of the student in the project was to find different - mainly descriptive - archival materials. They could be: small and medium scale military topographic maps, photographs, memories of the residents, the local press etc. Exploration of materials had to be conducted in Polish, Belarusian, Lithuanian and German institutions like: archives, libraries, museums and historical centers. Materials available in the Internet, as well as own private collections had to be also used.
On the basis of archival materials network of streets in the city and railway lines in the area in the first part of XX century had to be reconstructed by the students. Historical toponyms of the objects in the city should be also recreated. As the result of the project two plans of the city: the historical and the contemporary should be developed.
The results of the project should be presented with the use of GIS solutions. Plans of the city together with information about places should be presented in the form of spatial database and interactive repository of archival sources accessible from the map. It should be created as the Story Map in ArcGIS Online and made available to the public on the Internet. Former and present object characteristics should be supplemented by archival and contemporary photographs and other archival data depicting the changes that have occurred in the space.


I did a LOT of prep before using this product. Cleaned, vacuumed, installed additional insulation etc etc etc. This spray foam was easy to work with, and did it's job as it was supposed to. If you are curious, this kit was purchased because - every "foam insulation company" I contacted either did not call back (due to no interest) OR this was too small of a job. That is why I went DIY on this one, that and: I was advised by one of these companies that they have a minimum $2k job because ... (insert your answer here, but I will choose that everyone needs to eat).
I've seen this only once, and it was with closed cell foam, but I've heard of it happening with open cell foam, too. I don't know the details, but I've heard it could result from a bad batch of chemicals, improper mixing, or too high a temperature. Whatever the cause, it's not a good thing. The photo below shows how the spray foam pulled away from the studs. A little bit of uninsulated area like that adds up to a lot of heat loss/gain when the whole house has that problem, as it did here.
How Much Is Spray Foam Roof Insulation
Spray polyurethane foam, or SPF, is the main type of 2-part, closed-cell spray foam used by insulation contractors. Large-scale insulation jobs require special equipment as well as safety gear to protect the installer from chemical fumes during installation. When the foam cures and hardens just several minutes after application, it's completely safe for as long as it stays in place.
Although we are a small-town company, we can handle any size project or building. We have been blessed to work for residential homeowners as well as corporations like Bell Helicopter, Taco Bell, Tyson Foods, and even the Texas Rangers! Our conservative Christian family values won’t let us give you anything less than an honest evaluation of the best product for your specific application. SprayFoam Texas installs the most energy efficient attic systems available anywhere.
I used this for the rim-joist in our home. A couple things: I put 1in solid core foam (cut to size) in each bay before using the spray foam. I also was able to do a relatively 'thick' spray to close off any potential gaps that may have existed. I turned off the HVAC and turned on some fans in the windows to exhaust out the fumes, and wore a mask (3m respirator).
Spray foam insulation or spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is an alternative to traditional building insulation such as fiberglass. A two-component mixture composed of isocyanate and polyol resin comes together at the tip of a gun, and forms an expanding foam that is sprayed onto roof tiles, concrete slabs, into wall cavities, or through holes drilled in into a cavity of a finished wall.
If you cut the nails holding one of the corner studs to the bottom plate and the top plate with a Sawzall, you can use a flat bar (or a flat bar plus a wrecking bar) to pull the stud off the sheathing nails. Either re-use the stud, or buy a new stud, and install the stud with toenails as shown in the link I provided in Comment #51 (this link: Outside corner detail). https://m.youtube.com/v/ggLAUsiuI_o
While coatings may potentially stop minor leaks, the roof should be properly repaired and dried prior to coating application. Coatings may be able to seal pinhole leaks, which are leaks not visible to the naked eye. If the roof is leaking, the roof leak will need to be identified and repaired prior to any recoating; do not expect the coating to find and seal the leaks.
R-value, the thermal resistance measure of insulation, varies between all insulation products whether they are fiberglass, cellulose, open-cell spray foam insulation or closed-cell sprayed-in foam insulation. Generally speaking the rule of thumb is the higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power. Focusing on spray foam insulation materials, there is a difference between the two main types. According to industry publication, Fine Home Building, the R-value for open-cell spray foam is between R-3.5 – R-3.6 per inch. However, there are open-cell spray foam insulation products actually offer R-3.7 per inch such as Icynene Classic and Icynene Classic Max. The open cell structure of low density foam insulation means the R-value is lower than its closed-cell counterpart. Nevertheless, open-cell spray foam does offer superior and consistent thermal insulation and air sealing properties. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtube.be&v=ggLAUsiuI_o
Open-cell is also known as half-pound foam. It has an R-Value of 3.5-3.6 per inch, and its density is bout 0.5 pounds per cubic food. Low-density foams like these are made partially from raw biological materials Carbon dioxide or water is also used in the makeup. Open-cell uses far less material than closed-cell, but its R-Value is lower. Also, open cell requires a vapor retarder (like gypsum wallboard) and is riskier when used for roof sheathing. It's not highly recommended that you use open-cell insulation if you live in a cold climate unless you have that extra barrier. You should also compare how much money you spend versus how effective the open-cell insulation is wherever it's installed.
Spray foam is a fully adhered insulation that is spray applied into wall cavities, providing a continuous air and moisture barrier. Spray foam allows efficient use of your HVAC system and helps regulate the temperature fluctuations and humidity in your home. Spray foam effectively seals the building envelope, filling in any cracks and crevices, the common source of air and moisture infiltration as well as temperature variations.
Although spray foam insulation has been in use since the 1940s, primarily for aircraft, for the past 30 years, continual product innovation has seen the increased adoption of spray foam insulation in residential and commercial construction. The rapid growth of sprayed foam insulation in building construction, thanks in part to its immediate and long-term benefits, has allowed the insulation material to sit confidently alongside traditional insulation types in providing thermal comfort for building occupants.
Note: A board foot is defined as a 12" x 12" square at 1" thick. Actual output can be affected by a number of factors including temperature and humidity. The theoretical yield has become an industry standard for identifying certain sizes of two component kits. Theoretical yield calculations are performed in perfect laboratory conditions, without taking into account the loss of blowing agent or the variations in application methods and types.
If your foam pulled away just a little bit, Jamie, and they were able to fix it with just a little bit of touching up, then it wasn't as bad as the house where I saw this problem. As the last photo above shows, it had pulled away significantly from the studs and rafters, and it was all over the house. This was closed cell foam, and interestingly, it didn't pull away from the horizontal framing members, just the vertical and sloped ones. They did some touch up, but that wasn't enough. I don't know how this one ended up getting resolved. I think maybe the contractor came back and sprayed cellulose on top of the foam.
How Much For Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam comes in two flavors, open cell and closed cell, and provides both parts of the building envelope - the insulation and the air barrier. The building envelope should completely surround the conditioned space, and the insulation needs to be in contact with the air barrier. Since spray foam is both insulation and air barrier, proper alignment of insulation and air barrier is guaranteed.
I used this product to seal and insulate my rim joists as I am finishing the basement. The builder used R13 batt insulation when we built the house 3 years ago. I use a dehumidifier to control moisture in the basement which is below grade. The setting I use is 55%. The dehumidifier kicks on periodically and requires emptying every few days. Since using the foam all around the house on the rim joists and sill plate, the dehumidifier has stayed at 50% for over two weeks since spraying and rarely turns on anymore. I also put the original R13 batt insulation back up after the foam cured.
However, coating asphalt shingles and built-up composition roofs requires more caution. The National Roofing Contractors Association’s (NRCA) director of technical services has stated "The roofing industry is aware of a number of issues that could have negative consequences for field application of coatings over asphalt shingle roof systems. Anyone considering this type of application should be aware of the concerns so they can weigh them against the benefits claimed in coating product promotional materials."
Spray foam is available in two different types: open-cell spray foam which is usually $0.44 to $0.65 per board foot and closed-cell spray foam which is about $1 to $1.50 per board foot. The average cost to have spray foam professionally installed is about $2,314. This number can vary depending on whether the home being insulated is newly constructed. However, finished homes are not a good candidate for spray foam insulation but great for weatherization or an energy audit. http://youtube.com/e/ggLAUsiuI_o
There are several types of reflective roof coatings that impart varied reflectance rates/ values. Typically, the reflective coatings are what are commonly referred to as white coatings and there are also aluminum coatings typically used with asphalt. Highly reflective white roof coatings are typically comprised of acrylics, urethanes, silicones, SBS, SEBS, and other types.
I'm in the process of redoing my basement and read through the posts. I took out one inch styrofoam covered by 1/4 " beadboard and installed 2X4s and plan on putting in fiberglass batts between them(r-13) with 1/2 in drywall over top of that. Do you think I will see a significat increase in heat control? Should I have done more?... it's a little after the fact, but still curious to know if I will see a big difference based on your experience. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ggLAUsiuI_o
I recently did a remodel project for my basement using spray foam insulation. The original builder has used fiberglass, but I wanted the best insulation i could find. We chose closed cell foam because it blocks moisture from getting into the house. It took one day to install and was fumey for about 3 hours. It was pretty cool watching it being done. It comes out as a liquid and then expands rapidly into a foam. It's quick! Then they took a types of saw to shave it flat with the wall studs so we could then go ahead and drywall. https://youtube.com/watch?v=ggLAUsiuI_o

McGuinness confirms he discussed Mountbatten murder with Queen Elizabeth
IRA atrocity in Sligo was discussed after historic handshake
Sinn Fein leader Martin McGuinness has confirmed he discussed the IRA murder of Lord Mountbatten during his meeting with the Queen of England.
Former IRA man McGuinness shook hands with the Queen during their historic conversation in Belfast last week.
The meeting allowed the pair to discuss the 1979 IRA atrocity which killed Lord Mountbatten, cousin of the Queen, and three others in Sligo during the troubles.
He has confirmed that he told Queen Elizabeth that he recognised her family was directly affected by the Troubles in the IRA killing of Lord Mountbatten.
McGuinness said: “I head-on addressed this issue with the queen and Prince Philip when I said to them that I recognised that they too had lost a loved one.
“I did not shy away from the issue because I think these are things that have to be faced up to.
“There is nothing glamorous or glorious or great about war – war is absolutely terrible.
“I regret the loss of every single life, including the loss of British soldiers and those who were close to the Queen of England.
“I will not disclose her specific response but she was absolutely understanding of the need for everybody to work together to ensure we don’t go back to the past so that we can continue to move forward – she was very gracious about it.”
Asked in an Irish television interview about the issue of remorse, McGuinness referred to the history of his native Derry in the Troubles.
“The city was under occupation by British soldiers and at the time, nationalists suffered discrimination, domination and injustice,” he said.
He added, “You ask me the question, was it worth it? And all that happened, and all the loss of life, whether they were IRA volunteers, British soldiers, RUC (members), innocent civilians . . . how could I say it’s worth it?
“These were circumstances that were beyond my control as a 21-year-old.”
Referring again to his meeting with the British monarch, McGuinness admitted the Queen was ‘very nice’.
The Irish Times reports that he added, “But I don’t think that surprises people considering the way she conducted herself during her visit to the Republic last year, and her acknowledgement that all sides suffered in the conflict.”

German politicians are very concerned after the arrest of an employee of the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) in connection with Russia. The federal prosecutor accuses the man of treason: he is suspected of having passed on secret information to Moscow.
From the point of view of the CDU defense expert Henning Otte, the case shows "that Russia's hybrid warfare is a very current threat for Germany, too. Espionage is a central weapon in this military strategy". Otte told the newspapers of the Funke media group (Saturday): "Putin and the Russian secret services do not shy away from acts of violence in Germany." The defense policy spokeswoman for the FDP in the Bundestag, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, said on Bavarian radio: "This is a wake-up call to everyone that Russia is no exception to spying on us too, in order to destabilize our system, the Federal Republic. "
The fact that there is Russian espionage in Germany is both "known and not surprising," said Left Party MP André Hahn of the "Rheinische Post" (Saturday). But: "If an employee in the ranks of the Federal Intelligence Service is said to have spied for Russia, then that would be a completely new and frightening quality." The parliamentary control committee will deal with the process at the latest in the new year.
What does the federal prosecutor say?
Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck (Greens) called the case "particularly questionable" when asked by RTL/ntv, precisely because it was about the BND. FDP federal deputy Wolfgang Kubicki sees a danger for cooperation with foreign intelligence services: "It wouldn't be the first unmasked Russian spy in Europe this year, but if information from the BND really did get to Russia, then cooperation with our partners would be the case make it extremely difficult," Kubicki told the "Handelsblatt".
The federal prosecutor's office had the accused BND employee arrested in Berlin on Wednesday. The German is said to have transmitted information he obtained in the course of his work to a Russian intelligence service. The Karlsruhe authority announced that the content was a state secret within the meaning of the Criminal Code. The man was taken into custody.
Justice Minister Marco Buschmann commented on Twitter:
SPD foreign politician Nils Schmid called for decisive action against Russia. Moscow has been in a conflict with the West for years and believes that all means are permissible, such as the murder of opposition figures on German soil or espionage, he said on Deutschlandfunk on Friday. "And we have to be very vigilant and decisive." Russia's hybrid warfare must be counteracted "much more carefully".
The turning point mentioned by Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) also means that the military component of international relations is gaining in importance, explained Schmid. After 30 years of dialogue with Russia, a change in policy towards deterrence is now required.
According to the Criminal Code, treason can be punished with a prison sentence of at least five years or life imprisonment in particularly serious cases like this one. Such a case exists, for example, if the perpetrator has abused a responsible position that places him under a special obligation to protect state secrets.
No further details due to ongoing investigation
Out of consideration for the ongoing investigations, the BND does not want to publicly comment on the details of the case until further notice. "Restraint and discretion are very important in this special case," President Bruno Kahl emphasized in Berlin on Thursday.
With Russia, on the other hand, we are dealing with an actor "whose unscrupulousness and willingness to use violence we have to reckon with," he added. The background to these statements could be concerns about possible dangers for contacts and informers of the German secret service in Russia, who could have been betrayed by the suspected spy in the ranks of the BND.


Highmark Health also uses network access control technology to ensure computers are registered and allowed to join the network. The NAC technology also checks the device’s security posture, and if needed, it automatically pushes software patches and anti-virus updates to the device before allowing it on the network, Yi says.
The organization has also deployed microsegmentation tool, which enables granular access control by building micro-perimeters throughout the network to help protect applications and sensitive data, and to ensure apps only connect to resources that they are authorized to access, Yi says.
When Yi and her team implements microsegmentation for an app, the technology analyzes the app for 30 days to see what resources it needs to connect to so it can operate properly. The security team collaborates with the application team to vet and authorize those connections and blocks everything else out, she says.
In the event of a ransomware attack, for example, those apps have a higher level of assurance that they will be protected from unauthorized access that impacts the confidentiality, availability and integrity of the system and the data. Highmark Health has prioritized microsegmentation to protect critical applications and infrastructure and is now working on expanding their deployment to the next level of critical apps, Yi adds.
“We’re making sure the critical apps are essentially inoculated. It’s like applying a vaccine to protect them,” Yi says.
2. The Growing Importance of Social Determinants of Health Data
NYU Langone Health in New York City launched its data analytics effort in 2009. Today, the IT department has built an enterprise portal that offers more than 60 dashboards to thousands of users, including senior leadership and department analysts, says Jeff Shein, NYU Langone’s senior director of data and analytics.
Everyone from the finance and marketing departments to clinicians use Tableau’s visualization and reporting software, which integrates enterprise data and performs real-time analytics, so the organization can identify trends and draw conclusions. This in turn allows them to make better decisions and improve healthcare, Shein says.
The IT team manages data in three locations: its electronic health record database; an enterprise data warehouse made up of smaller, mission-specific data marts that house information for dashboards in different departments; and a data lake, which features a large amount of raw data used by operations and researchers.
“What’s great about Tableau is you can build useful, interactive dashboards quickly,” Shein says.
In 2013, for example, the IT team built a dashboard using Epic EHR data that provides a real-time view of NYU Langone’s emergency departments and reduces wait times. Then, in November 2022, the IT staff built a bot to automate the process to eliminate constant monitoring of the dashboard. The bot alerts clinicians if patients wait too long to be seen by doctors or wait too long to be admitted and moved to a hospital room, he says.

The Walmart-owned group said as a result customers will consume 168 tonnes less salt each year.
Condemned for contributing to the worsening health problems in the population, food makers are under orders to cut salt levels in their processed food formulations.
Eating too much salt is a significant risk factor in developing high blood pressure, itself a cause or contributing factor in the rising incidence of heart disease, the world's number one killer.
Recent figures from the UK's food agency claim that every day at least 26 million people eat more than the recommended daily limit of 6g of salt. Men are eating the most with a daily average of 11.0g of salt while women consume an average of 8.1g a day.
But targets published recently by Blair's government in the White Paper on Public Health say the food industry must contribute to reducing the salt intake of the population to 6g per person per day by 2010.
The government estimates that processed foods, from soups and sauces to breakfast cereals and snacks, contribute about 75 per cent to people's salt intakes.
Asda reports that from 1 September customers can buy sliced carrots, baby sweetcorn and garden peas without any added salt. By the end of 2006, all own-label tinned vegetables will be salt-free.
"Contrary to popular believe salt is not needed as a preservative in the canning process. Heating and sealing the contents of a veg can does exactly that," said the firm.
In general, replacing this cheap flavour enhancer is a challenge for food developers.
At €0.21 a kilo, any alternatives to salt will add unwanted costs to new product formulations. But salt, a seasoning and preservative composed of 40 per cent sodium and 60 per cent chlorine, plays a pivotal role in multiple foods on the market.
Flavour firm Quest recently introduced its new ImpaQ taste technology range that it claims can cut salt levels by "as much as 50 per cent, without compromising on the taste."

New Delhi: Vice-President Hamid Ansari’s office claimed that he was not invited to the Yoga Day event in the capital after his absence was questioned by senior BJP and RSS leader Ram Madhav.
Madhav had deleted a tweet questioning Ansari’s absence and then apologizing to him saying he later learnt that the Vice President was unwell.
The Vice President’s office said that was not correct. “Vice President was not sick. He was never invited for the yoga programme,” it said, adding, “the Vice President only attends those programmes in which the Minister concerned invites him as per protocol”.
Madhav also accused Rajya Sabha TV, the public service broadcaster run by Parliament’s Upper House, of blacking out live telecast of the Yoga Day event “completely” despite being run on taxpayers money. As Rajya Sabha Chairman, Ansari is the controlling authority for the channel.
This was contradicted by Gurdeep Singh Sappal, CEO of Rajya Sabha TV. “Baseless rumours. RSTV not just did live telecast of Rajpath event. But also had 3 documentaries, 1 special report today on Yoga”, he tweeted.
As the topic trended, Madhav deleted both the tweets including his apology.

Subject: “Learn How to Expand Your Creative Potential.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today we would like to speak about the creative potentials of the human mind, body, and spirit and how these potentials are realized as you ascend the universes, for it is the destiny of a god-knowing son or daughter to become perfected and with perfection comes the ability to create in ways unfathomable to human imagination. Even now, while in material bodies, human creative potentials, and what some would call ‘super-human’ abilities, lie dormant and untapped because of environmental programming and spiritual ignorance – the result of creature evolution on a world isolated in rebellion.
“Some of these potentials can be awakened in humans – some more so than others because of genetic makeup, yet nearly all require discipline and mastery over the animal nature – the ego; the emotional-self, and then training is needed by those with higher knowledge who can help the student unlock those dormant aptitudes. Many of you have heard stories and even documented some of the ‘super-human’ abilities of yogis who can levitate their bodies; bi-locate and project their form and consciousness over great distances, and even materialize inanimate objects from the unseen. These are not fairy stories, my friends, these are untapped potentials realized by those with great discipline, yet it takes more than just discipline and knowledge to achieve these things, it takes a greater understanding of the universal power of ‘Love.’
“Once you are removed from the barbaric influences of this world and settle into the next phase of life on the mansion worlds, you will have the opportunity to expand your creative potentials where you can learn from many teachers and masters. As you progress and develop your mind, your awareness of the Father’s great love will expand in you as you reflect the quality of this great love in your life and your connection with other personalities. Love is the universal absolute, and so as you ascend and perfect your mind, your ability to understand love as the Creator is love, will naturally raise your vibrational signature which will unlock the potentials of the divine creative within you. Simply put: Creative ability equals your capacity to understand and demonstrate love – to ‘be’ love. It can be no other way.
“You students on the path who are now beginning to use your mid-mind (the lower strata of morontia mind) have raised your vibration enough to realize more of your creative potential in this world. Many of you have become healers and those of you know that you must have compassion and love for your patients to direct and transmute universe energy to normalize the unbalanced energy of a sick patient. Love in the form of creature intention is the creative vehicle that transforms energy. On paradise, thought and energy are one. Therefore, having ascended to the home of deity, it is a prerogative that your perfected mind would have the ability to create at will. At that point in your development there is no danger in using universe power destructively and therefore it is a Father endowed gift to create – to be like the Creator as He has called you.
“Learn how to love, my friends, and realize your creative potential!
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

The Golden Dragon, a Chinatown restaurant that was closed because of health violations in January, must pay more than $1 million in back wages and penalties to 37 workers for violating the city’s minimum wage law, an administrative hearing officer has ruled.
The restaurant’s former owners, Jack Lee and Big Hong Ng, were also ordered to pay as much as $871,300 to the city for the cost of investigating the case.
The city began its investigation in March 2005 after nine employees complained that the Golden Dragon was paying them less than the minimum wage in San Francisco, which was least $8.50 an hour in 2004 and $8.62 in 2005. The case was later expanded to include employees who had been paid nothing for some of their work.
The employees kept working because the restaurant kept promising to pay them, said Alex Tom, a coordinator for the Chinese Progressive Association, which helped the workers take their case to city officials.
The Golden Dragon was best known as the scene of a 1977 gangland shooting in which five bystanders were killed and 11 injured.
