Rep. Marsha Blackburn said on Friday that fired FBI Director James Comey has an "interesting relationship with the truth."
Her comment on MSNBC comes one day after Comey testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee, speaking at length about his private conversations with President Trump. Comey said Trump fired him because of his agency's Russia investigation and also said Trump lied.
Blackburn, a Republican from Tennessee, said Comey was "being emotional" at the hearing.
"It is fair to say what Comey had in Tennessee of what we call a wee old-fashioned 'come apart,'" Blackburn said. "It seems like he wanted to throw a lot of people under the bus."
"I think he has an interesting relationship with the truth," she added.
When pressed by host Chuck Todd on whether she was saying she believes Comey committed perjury, Blackburn seemed to back off.
"I don't know. That's not for me to say," she began.
"You just said it," Todd shot back.
"I said he had an interesting relationship with the truth," Blackburn replied, adding that it's for other people to decide. She was likely referring to the federal probe being led by special counsel Robert Mueller, a former FBI director.
During a news conference Friday, Trump accused Comey of lying under oath and said he was "100 percent" willing to dispute Comey's testimony under oath.

Prime Minister Modi (L) invested on eight years of US President Trump (R) in the White House but expectations fall short. (File photo)
From the Indian perspective, the prospect of a Joe Biden presidency becomes a moment of ‘memory mixing with desire’, to borrow from TS Eliot’s famous words from The Waste Land. Prima facie, there is hardly anything to choose between the Democrats and Republicans in their attitude toward India. There is a ‘bipartisan consensus’ in the US as regards India. But then, there is a world of difference between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
The Indian analysts barely hide an inchoate apprehension that Biden presidency may come down hard on Modi government on its human rights record. There is an institutional memory in Washington as to how far India can be pushed — rather, how tenaciously India would hunker down if push comes to shove. India is also vastly experienced in sequestering its core interests from external interference.
The manner in which Indian diplomacy got Kashmir excluded from late Richard Holbrooke’s ‘Af-Pak’ charter testifies to it, as apparent from the WikiLeaks disclosures of cable traffic from the US embassy in Delhi [cables 185384 dated 31/12/2008 and 186057 dated 1/7/2009.]
Having said that, India’s default position has been that a strong democratic process in the Valley made external role superfluous and interfering. But that specious plea is no longer tenable.
The misgivings among the US political elite about India’s internal political trajectory since 2014 cannot be underestimated. Therefore, how far the Hindutva agenda and its anti-Muslim connotations get imposed as national agenda on an unwilling nation will get duly noted and will impact the climate of US-Indian relations, even if it may not rock the relationship.
Influential voices within the Democratic Party such as Bernie Sanders, Nancy Pelosi and Pramila Jayapal — and Kamala Harris herself — have voiced disquiet. The mood in the House of Representatives becomes a major determinant of Biden’s India policies. Indeed, Howdy Modi touched raw nerves at a particularly sensitive time in US politics.
Equally, the Democratic Party has shifted palpably to the left of centre. It is little comfort that American exceptionalism no longer holds credibility. The point is about a value-based relationship with the US.
Biden’s focus will be on domestic issues. Being a seasoned politician, Biden realises that the massive repudiation of Trump that was expected in the election did not materialise. The Democrats sought a moral victory but that didn’t happen. And the divides in American politics only got wider.
If there is anyone who can walk across the aisle and build a consensus or common ground in such extraordinary times, it is Biden. And he’s acutely conscious that his presidential legacy lies there.
Therefore, foreign policy is not Biden’s priority. And India is unlikely to be a foreign-policy priority, either — although India’s significance remains in certain areas such as climate change, Covid-19, post-pandemic economic recovery, Iran nuclear issue or Afghanistan.
As vice-president, Biden was personally involved in the Afghan problem. Bob Woodward’s book Obama’s Wars details how Biden, old enough to remember the lessons of an earlier war, repeatedly conjured up the Vietnam trap and faced down the security establishment led by the generals — David Petraeus, McChrystal and Mike Mullen — and Obama’s defence secretary, Robert Gates, on the crucial question of Afghan ‘surge’.
The book describes Biden rushing to the White House on a Sunday morning to make a last appeal, saying that a major surge would mean “we’re locked into Vietnam”. Privately, Obama told Biden to push his alternative strategy opposing a big troop buildup in meetings, and while Obama ultimately rejected it, he told the military, he had to set a timetable for withdrawal because: “I can’t lose the whole Democratic party.”
Biden’s goal was consistent: contain the Taliban, neutralise the threat from al-Qaida and get the troops home. That was way back in mid-2009. Much water has flown down the Kabul River since then. But carryovers from the past provide signposts.
First, if Biden had lacked confidence in Hamid Karzai’s ability to deliver, he is going to be even more despairing about Ashraf Ghani. Second, Biden knows that the generals turned out to be horribly wrong in their judgement of the winnability of the war.
Third, Biden networked extensively with the military and civilian leadership in Islamabad regarding Afghanistan and there is a legacy of mistrust regarding Pakistani intentions as well as a sober understanding of that country’s doublespeak. The Doha pact becomes untenable.
Within these parameters, on balance, Biden is likely to opt for a residual military-intelligence presence in Afghanistan — but more as a counter-terrorism force than to fight the Taliban. Pakistan (and Taliban) will see advantages in a continued American engagement with Afghanistan. Biden will not contest Pakistan’s paranoia about India’s role.
In South Asia, a rollback of the US engagements can be expected. The heart of the matter is that India is going to be marginal in Biden’s China’s policies, where Delhi’s cooperation is useful but not critical, and the US priorities will be on the South China Sea, Taiwan and the regional security in Asia-Pacific where India’s stance is of secondary importance only.
The US will still help India as that is in American interests too, but it will not go to war with China on that account. There is no question of Biden propping up India as a ‘counterweight’ to China. The Quad may have had its halcyon days under the US-Indian stewardship.
Successive US administrations since Bush have shown interest in military cooperation with India and Biden will also be committed to promoting arms exports to India. But China will no longer be the ‘elephant in the room,’ as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo put it the other day. The point is, while US-China rivalry may continue under Biden, a significant shift in its direction is to be expected.
Biden’s emphasis on diplomacy to build global coalitions to counterbalance China may not satisfy Delhi where the ruling elite is sworn to surpass China militarily and in the economic space, and to negotiate a boundary settlement with Beijing only from a position of strength. Indeed, the hardliners in Delhi are in for a big disappointment.
Biden attaches high importance to reviving the negotiations with Iran. He might return to the policies implemented by the Obama administration, and is also likely to shrink the US defence budget in West Asia.
Now, India’s policies in the Gulf region deviated significantly from its traditional moorings in the recent years and linked up with the Israel-Saudi-Emirati axis, propped up by the Trump administration. As the Biden administration draws down on its commitments to that axis and engages with Iran., India needs to adjust with the new realities.
Fundamentally, the Modi government heavily banked on eight years of Trump administration. Modi invested heavily on a relationship with Trump. That assumption took Delhi, under encouragement from Pompeo, to partake of the so-called ‘Indo-Pacific strategy’, which in turn caused a serious fracture in India’s relations with China.
Today, as the Modi government stares at Trump’s defeat and Pompeo’s retirement, it is stuck with a grave standoff with China resulting from the delusional foreign policy course of the recent years. A brave face can be put on it but India’s strategic reserves are emptying out.
The timing of the Foreign Secretary’s weeklong consultations in the European capitals soon after the 2+2 ministerial dialogue with the US signals a belated realisation that hitching India’s fortunes entirely to the Trump bandwagon, under Pompeo’s prodding, was a strategic blunder. As the geopolitical shifts play out, India has no choice but to reset its policy calculus.

text: The control of binocular rivalry (BR) was reintroduced as an example of selective attention after several decades. Ss passively observed BR in a stereoscopic tachistoscope and, at an undetermined phase of rivalry, received an instruction signal to attend to one of the rivalry patterns. Letter test stimuli were presented to either the instructed (I) eye or noninstructed (NI) eye 1, 3, 5, or 7 sec following the instruction signal. The difference between the eyes in recognition performance (I-NI) provided an objective measure of control, which was correlated with previously used measures based on subjective reports of rivalry alternation rates. Subjective and objective measures showed correlated increases as a result of practice of control. The fact that the objective measure reached a peak value at the 3-sec delay of test stimuli suggested a minimum time to shift attention and maximum time to maintain attention in BR. In addition, it was found that the control of BR results in a change of signal strength with no associated change in the use of confidence ratings, a result similar to that found with selective attention in dichotic listening.

United States District Court, S.D. Mississippi, Southern Division
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING GRANTING HARRISON COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT'S MOTION TO DISMISS
LOUIS GUIROLA, Jr., Chief District Judge.
BEFORE THE COURT is the Motion to Dismiss  filed by the Harrison County Sheriff's Department. The County argues that the Sheriff's Department is not a legal entity capable of being sued. The plaintiffs have responded in opposition, and the County has replied. The Court finds it well established that the Sheriff's Department is not a legal entity capable of being sued, and therefore grants the County's Motion.
STANDARD OF REVIEW
The Harrison County Sheriff's Department moves for dismissal with prejudice pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6). Under the Rule 12(b)(6) standard of review, this court accepts "all well-pleaded facts as true and construes the complaint in the light most favorable to the plaintiff." Jaso v. The Coca Cola Co., 435 F.Appx. 346, 351 (5th Cir. 2011) (citation omitted). A claim may not be dismissed under Rule 12(b)(6) unless it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief. Nottingham v. Richardson, 499 F.Appx. 368, 372 (5th Cir. 2012) (citation omitted).
This lawsuit concerns claims of deprivation of constitutional rights filed by two inmates at the Harrison County Adult Detention Center. They claim they "witnessed the gross negligence regarding the medical needs of their cell mate, Ray Staten" and despite begging and pleading HCADC officials for medical care for Staten, they were "forced to watch a man suffer and die, needlessly and helplessly, to their serious detriment." (Compl. 2, ECF No. 1). The plaintiffs sued Harrison County, the Harrison County Board of Supervisors, the Harrison County Sheriff's Department, Sheriff Melvin Brisolara, Warden Major David Sanderson, and a number of John and Jane Does.
The Sheriff's Department argues that it is not a separate legal entity distinct from Harrison County and should be dismissed with prejudice pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6). The plaintiffs request the "opportunity to prove that the Harrison County Sheriff's Department is a separate legal entity." (Pl. Mem. 2, ECF No. 16).
The Sheriff's Department's capacity to be sued must be determined by Mississippi law. Fed.R.Civ.P. 17(b)(3). It has been clear for some time that in Mississippi, a sheriff's department is not a separate legal entity which may be sued. Brown v. Thompson, 927 So.2d 733, 737 (¶ 12) (Miss. 2006) (Mississippi Tort Claims Act). "[T]he Sheriff's Department does not enjoy a separate legal existence, apart from [the] County." Id.; accord Venuto v. Jackson Cnty., No. 1:13CV198-LG-JCG, 2014 WL 5280963, *1 (S.D.Miss. Oct. 15, 2014). Thus, the plaintiffs are unable to state a claim upon which relief can be granted against the Harrison County Sheriff's Department, and it is entitled to dismissal.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Motion to Dismiss  filed by the Harrison County Sheriff's Department is GRANTED. Plaintiffs' claims against the Harrison County ...

Abstracts Marulić’s Latin version of Petrarch’s canzone Vergine bella (created about 1510-1511, printed in the Evangelistary of 1516) is important as a testimony to Marulić’s knowledge of his great poetic model and his skill in turning his celebrated poem into the eminent medium of the Latin elegiac couplet. In addition to this, it is to this poem that the short but very interesting dedication to Jerolim Papalić is appended; in this Marulić puts forward his views about translation.
A detailed comparison of the translated version and the original has already been made by Francesco Lo Parco, long ago in 1931; attention was paid in this work to Marulić’s poetic sources. Since that time, practically nothing has been written about this important document of the Croatian reception of Petrarch.
Nevertheless, the importance of this poetic encounter and the richness of the translation or version do suggest the need for further interpretation. Although Marulić’s way of translating can hardly be reconciled with our current concept of transmission of material from one language to another, the contemporary reader cannot, in spite of all Marul’s amplifications and deviations, refrain from admit-ting that Petrarch’s canzone and Marulić’s translation are the encounter of two geniuses, and that the Latin version is in many respects quite up to the original: those areas in which it deviates do not diminish the value of Marulić’s work; on the contrary, taken as a whole, the translation does honour to Marulić and the Croatian tradition of Latinism.

It’s April 1st, and the crypto space is again rife with April Fool’s jokes that could impact some coins’ trading values.
Earlier today, CCN reported on some of 2019’s best pranks and one instance of a joke crypto rallying 20 percent. But could April Fools’ Day pranks have greater impact on crypto investors than the jokesters realize? Historically, blockchain’s community of nerds have embraced the annual prankster tradition with a variety of tweets, blog posts, and articles.
April Fools Day Jokes Could Cause Detriment
While every good trader knows the importance of planning the trade, trading the plan, and keeping emotions out of it, that’s often much easier said than done. Especially when it concerns your money. Below are 3 of the most cringe-worthy crypto April Fool’s Day jokes that could have actually impacted daily trades.
3. OneCoin Dethroned Ethereum as Second Largest Crypto
Another year, another April Fools’ Day.. | Source: Shutterstock
On April 1, 2017, CoinDesk reported radical news that could have shaken the crypto ecosystem into a panic had readers not read the article in its entirety. CoinDesk claimed that a federal judge ruled that OneCoin was a legitimate and legal cryptocurrency. As such, the judge ordered coinmarketcap to list OneCoin. Thus, the article proclaimed, OneCoin would overtake Ethereum’s second place position on the hierarchy of cryptocurrencies by market cap. Beyond that, this federal order would have demonstrated heavy government involvement in what was supposed to be a decentralized space. Each of these news proclamations may have been enough to emotionally motivate some investors to throw out their trading plans. But the article’s final line provides redemption:
“Unprecedented price volatility is far from being expected in the next couple of days across major cryptocurrencies because this is just a huge joke!”

Conservative Central Office, established in 1870, constitutes the main professional, orgainisational element of the Party. Initially under the overall control of the Chief Whip, by 1911 it had grown sufficiently to warrant the appointment of a Chairman of the Party Organisation. This was, and has almost invariably been, a politician of cabinet or near-cabinet rank, and the deputy and vice-chairmen have generally also been political appointments, though not necessarily MPs. The permanent head of Central Office for most of its existence was the Principal Agent, known from 1931 as the General Director. In the late 1920s the posts of Director of Publicity and Office Controller were temporarily raised to the same stature as Principal Agent, all three being directly responsible to the Chairman. In 1966 the office of General Director was abolished, and the various departmental directors again became personally answerable to the Chairman and Deputy Chairman.
It is the function of Conservative Central Office 'to guide, inspire and co-ordinate the work of the party throughout the country, to advise and assist Consituency Associations and Area Councils and to provide such services as can best be organised centrally' (Maxwell Fyfe Report on Party Organisation, 1948). To that end it contains a large number of departments and sub-departments, each responsible for one or more aspects of party organisation. At the top are the Leader's Private Office, housed in No. 10, Downing Street when the party is in power, and the Chairman's Office. Beneath these come the offices of the Deputy Chairman or Chairmen and the Vice-Chairmen. The number of vice-chairmen varies, but there are commonly at least three, responsible for the women's organisation, the candidates' list and local government. Other vice-chairmen have had responsibility for party organisation generally, for the International Office and for the Young Conservatives. The party Treasurer is sometimes also the Deputy Chairman, and the Treasurer's Office is of the same standing as those of the Deputy and Vice Chairmen. Closely connected with the Treasurer's Office is the Conservative Board of Finance, which assists particularly in raising money from areas and through the constituency quota scheme. The Treasurer and Board of Finance are technically independent of Central Office but are housed in the same building. In party literature they are described as the 'Party Treasurer's at Central Office', and their papers have, for the purposes of this archive, been included within the Central Office collection.
The organisation within Central Office has seen many alterations, and departments and sections have appeared and disappeared in response to changing organisational emphases. Similarly the administrative system of records keeping has undergone a gradual change, as the central filing registry of the inter- and post-war years gave way to a departmentally orientated method of keeping files. Because this development was gradual the two systems overlap, with registry files dating from 1921 to 1978 and departmentally held records stretching back as far as 1911, although with the bulk starting after 1945.
There are five registry series of files. CCO 1 contains correspondence with and about individual constituency associations and dates from May 1936. CCO 2, starting in March 1949, is a similar series of files for the party's area organisations. CCO 3 consists of correspondence files with and about other organisations, ranging from agents' societies and Conservative clubs to Labour, women's, youth and other bodies, both related to the party (eg. the Bow Group, the Conservative Teachers' Association) and wholly unrelated (eg. the BBC and the Labour and Liberal parties). The earliest files in this series date from June 1936. CCO 4 is a series of special subject files on almost any and every issue. Files start in 1921 and range from education and industry to flag days, bazaars and by-elections. Finally CCO 6 relates entirely to the Unionist Agents' Superannuation Fund and the Conservative Agents' Benevolent Association.
Turning to the records of individual departments, the largest unit within Central Office is the Organisation Department. This is something of an umbrella body, with sub-sections which have, at various times, included the Industrial, Local Government, Speakers' and Education Departments, the Overseas Bureau, Young Conservatives, Students, Personnel, the Small Business Bureau and the Organisation and Legal Officer, to name only a few. The various sections of the Organisation Department are numbered between CCO 500 (the Director of Organisation's Office) and CCO 599. Certain departments started as sub-sections of Organisation and graduated to independent status. The Local Government Department is one such. An Organisation Department reference (CCO 508) indicates this fact, although its files will now be found under an independent number (CCO 130).
Other primary departments, some of which have their own sub-departments, include the General Director's Office, the Publicity Department, Community Affairs, the International Office/Overseas Bureau, the Conservative Political Centre, the Women's Organisation Office, Finance and Resources and the Public Opinion Research Department.
The papers of Conservative Central Office are arranged as follows:
CCO 1: Constituency Correspondence, 1936-1982
CCO 2: Area Files, 1949-1969
CCO 3: Outside Organisations, 1936-1978

Finding Common Ground on Measure 110
Oregon lawmakers will be seeking solutions to fix the state’s controversial voter-approved drug decriminalization law when they convene for the upcoming short legislative session on Feb. 5.
The question is whether there is enough common ground to address the law’s shortcomings. Legislators’ goal will be striking a balance between draconian punishments for drug addiction in the past that spurred passage of Measure 110 in 2020, while providing enough motivation to push drug users into treatment.
Measure 110 removed criminal penalties for possessing small amounts of certain street drugs, including methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine. Instead, those cited for drug possession are given a choice between calling a statewide abuse treatment hotline or paying a $100 fine.
“The passage of Measure 110 has created serious safety issues in our community, with people doing drugs and other things in public that were never OK and it just blows my mind,” said Salem City Councilor Julie Hoy.
The law also used tax revenue from cannabis sales to boost funding for treatment services statewide, establishing regional Behavioral Health Resource Networks, or BHRNs.
The original vision of Measure 110 was to create a new approach to fighting the war on drugs, replacing arrests and criminal records with stronger and more accessible support systems.
Three years later, polling shows that 56% of Oregonians support a total repeal of Measure 110 and 64% say they support repealing parts of the law. A group of influential business and political leaders is now leading an initiative to change the law.
“The measure itself is falling short across the board,” said Marion County Commissioner Danielle Bethell. “It was a measure with good intentions that put the cart before the horse.”
Specifically, Bethell — who has been a strong critic of Measure 110 — said decriminalization was implemented before there were enough fully funded and staffed treatment facilities to help those in need.
Secondly, Bethell said the law eliminated incentives to seek treatment that had been enforced through the justice system or local drug courts. The result, she said, is more people are being left to suffer on the streets.
“I believe that people are now seeing the ramifications of just legalizing drugs,” Bethell said. “You see that there are people living in a lifestyle that is not dignified. It is not safe or healthy for them, or the people around them.”
In conversations with other city and county leaders, Bethell said they all agree that change needs to come from the Legislature.
A joint interim committee on addiction and community safety response, co-chaired by Sen. Kate Lieber (D-Beaverton) and Rep. Jason Kropf (D-Bend) is crafting a proposal to resolve Measure 110’s flaws during the upcoming short session. The committee held a hearing in December where members of the public aired their grievances with the current system.
In a statement, Kropf said he believes there are common goals and values to reach sustainable, evidence-based solutions.
“The main purpose of the Joint Committee on Addiction and Community Safety Response is to help our state break down silos between our systems of public health and public safety,” Kropf said. “We need to ensure that we have an effective and accessible treatment infrastructure that meets people where they are, and we also need to ensure law enforcement has the necessary tools to keep our communities safe and stop people who profit off the addiction of others.”
Rep. Paul Evans (D-Monmouth), co-chairman of the Joint Subcommittee on Public Safety, pointed to halting public drug use as one area of consensus among legislators.
“There is consensus that full decriminalizing went too far, and that some form of recriminalization is needed to perform basic public safety functions,” Evans said.
The Marion County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously in August to support repealing Measure 110. The League of Oregon Cities, Oregon District Attorneys Association, Oregon State Sheriffs’ Association and Oregon Association of Chiefs of Police all signed on to a list of 11 policy recommendations for the Legislature to consider.
These include reclassifying drug possession from a Class E violation to a Class A misdemeanor, focused on diverting offenders into treatment programs that, if successfully completed, would result in the charge being dismissed.
Another recommendation would be to create a new Class A misdemeanor for public drug use — like existing laws that ban public consumption of alcohol or marijuana.
Still other proposals on the list focus on funding for treatment.
Funding should be prioritized to save specialty courts at risk of discontinuing their operations, the groups say, as well as to increase capacity for drug detox and treatment facilities.
They also call for Oregon to establish “Opioid Overdose Quick Response Teams” that can respond within 72 hours to overdoses and administer Naloxone. This model, they say, has worked previously in Ohio.
Bethell said she hopes legislators will listen to their suggestions and concerns.
“There has to be an understanding at the state level,” she said. “They need to take action in order for positive outcomes to come about.”

During the beyond scarcely any days on TikTok, a vivified video cut is getting viral which shows Ankha Zone Tan from Animal Crossing, moving and riding over an enlivened person. The video cuts on TikTok are However blue-penciled from the first Ankha Zone Tan Minus 8 video which is five minutes in length and NSFW by the nature.
The viral Animal Crossing Ankha video was made by a questionable glimmer illustrator called “ZONE-same” in the Tribute to Minus8, another blaze artist. This is the reason individuals have named the video as “Ankha Zone Minus8 video.”

The viral video shows Animal Crossing’s person “Ankha” getting around one more Animated person while moving on the music behind the scenes. The ambient sound, on the Ankha Zone video, plays the melody “Camel by Camel” by Sandy Marton.
viral Ankha Zone Minus 8 Camel by Camel video
Most of individuals have likely watched Ankha Zone-tan Minus 8 video (Censored parts) on their TikTok fyp (For you page). However, on the off chance that you haven’t I’ll simply clarify the viral Ankha Zone Tan Minus 8 video rapidly. (These subtleties contains NSFW, cp, notices of minus8, zoophilia, notices of ZONE-same subjects)
The viral Ankha Zone Minus8 video is a NSFW liveliness about ankha (acnh) that is anthro enlivened.
The viral Ankha Zone less 8 recordings were made by ZONE-sama who is known for their p0rnographic content by means of Parody since 2001. They have become excessively well known since half a month back where individuals began posting the viral Ankha video (clearly controlled) discussing a specific theme.
For what reason is this wrong? Ankha is from the game establishment Animal Crossing which is a KIDS GAME making it amazingly unusual to see. second; the video depicts Ankha in a human form submitting s3xual exercises to the cadence of the music behind the scenes (camel by camel Song by Sandy Marton). This is the reason the implied video is getting famous with the title of “Ankha Camel by camel video” too.
Ankha (ナイル, Nairu?, Nile) is a snooty cat villager in the Animal Crossing series, appearing in every game except Animal Forest, Wild World, and Pocket Camp. She reappears in City Folk as well as New Leaf. In Animal Forest+, Animal Crossing and in Animal Forest e+.
She is an Islander. Her name is based on the ankh, which is the Egyptian hieroglyphic character that reads “life.” Alternatively, her name could come from the famous Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, whose tomb inspired Ankha’s hair colors and snake hairpiece.
In New Leaf, her picture quote is a reference to the play “The Merchant of Venice” as Bassanio says the same about the lead casket.
Her Japanese name is “Nile,” which refers to the African river that many Egyptians settled on. Her German name, “Kleo” is short for “Kleopatra,” the German version of Cleopatra, the famous Egyptian queen.
Her French name “Cleo” also references Cleopatra. As an islander in Animal Crossing, Ankha loves cherries and is allergic to apples. She has the nature hobby.
Ankha has bright yellow fur with navy blue stripes and wears Egyptian-like navy eyeliner. Ankha initially wears a Red Aloha Shirt while she is an islander, in City Folk and New Leaf, she wears the Mummy Shirt, and in New Horizons, she wears the Palatial Tank Dress. She wears an Egyptian headdress that resembles the Nemes crown with a cobra called the “Uraeus”, which symbolized kingship in ancient Egypt.
In City Folk, Ankha’s headdress contains a scarab charm in place of a cobra figurine. While there is a lack of confirmation, Ankha’s design, appearance and other characteristics seem to be seemingly or even directly based off of the Abyssinian breed of cat, also simply known as Abys.
It is found to be one of the oldest types of domesticated animals in existence, with mummified cats in Egyptian tombs studied by archaeologists appearing similar to the modern breed’s standards.
Ankha is also constantly frowning, as she never smiles at all in her appearances. There’s also no difference between her smile and her frown.


Soft starter for single phase induction motor using pic microcontroller is a power electronics device. Soft starter project is used to smoothly start single phase and three phase induction motor. But this project is for single phase induction motor only. I will also post a project on soft starter for three phase induction motor in next article. In this soft starter project, PIC16F877A microcontroller is used to provide firing angle control signals to thyristor. Soft starter is a technique which is used for the protection of induction motor. You may also like to check our other induction motor related projects:
- Speed control of three phase induction motor using pic microcontroller
- Variable frequency drive for three phase induction motor
- thyristor controlled power for single phase induction motor
Why we need soft starter for induction motor?
When we supply power to induction motor, initially it takes more than the rated current of induction motor. This initial current is also know as inrush current. So we need a device which can control this inrush current. Inrush current is very dangerous for induction motors. Because it can damage induction motor winding and also it is wastage of resources. So to limit the starting current of induction motor, soft starter is used. Inrush current required only at the starting of motor. After motor reaches its full speed speed, motor also start to draw steady state current. But the chances for the motor to get damaged during starting is very high. Therefore soft starter is used to start induction motor smoothly. So Now lets see how soft starter works.
What is soft starter for single phase induction motor?
As I mentioned earlier, soft starter is a device which is used to run or start induction motor smoothly. Bu now the question is. How the soft starter makes the induction motor to start smoothly. Soft starter applies controlled voltage to induction motor. By applying gradually increasing voltage from low to high. As I mentioned earlier motor draws high current at the start than its rated capacity. So the voltage applied to the induction motor increases gradually from low to high value so that motor can draw small current at the start according to applied voltage. Because at low voltage motor will draw low current and at higher voltage motor draws high current. So this gradual increase in voltage stops the motor to withdraw inrush current and helps the induction motor to start smoothly. This is also known as smooth start of induction motor.
Soft starter for single phase induction motor using pic microcontroller
Software starter for single phase induction motor consists of following main components.
- Zero crossing detector circuit : This circuit is used to detect zero crossing signal of ac power supply. Because firing angle which is used to control thyristor operating angle is triggered at every zero crossing.
- PIC16F877A microcontroller: PIC16F877A microcontroller senses zero crossing and generates triggering pulse at specified firing angle.In soft starter, Firing angle will be maximum at the start, because we want minimum voltage at the start. After that firing angle will be decreased gradually, so that voltage also increase gradually.
- Thyristor or Two back to back Silicon controlled rectifiers : Thyristor is used as a switch.
- Optoisolator : It is used to provide isolation between pic microcontroller and high side voltage operating circuit.
Circuit diagram of soft starter for single phase induction motor
In above circuit diagram, lamp is used as load instead of induction motor. Because induction motor is not available in Proteus. Because we just want to check the functionality of voltage change gradually at the start from low to high value. So AC voltmeter is also connected parallel to lamp to check change in voltage. Oscilloscope shows the operating range of firing angle from maximum to minimum.

Interview with Kapil Sibal
By Devasish Ray
President Bush has launched his new foreign policy in trying to get Israel and Palestine to talk peace, yet this policy remains a Rubik cube, with some nations attending, curious to see what really transpires. India a long time friend of Palestine and a relatively new playmate of Israel also attended the meet held at Annapolis, the picturesque capital of Maryland, led by a surprise choice, Kapil Sibal, Minister for Science, Technology and Earth Sciences. In his whirlwind tour of the US, Sibal met with both the heads of state of Palestine and Israel and reiterated India’s commitment to play its’ “due role” in assisting this new peace initiative.
Sibal sat down with this correspondent in Washington DC and spoke about his visit, domestic politics, Nandigram, the Nuke Deal, poverty and his reflections on the recent headless chicken fiasco, which forced Ambassador Ronen Sen to apologize in Parliament. Here are some excerpts from this exclusive interview:
DR: You are leading India’s delegation to Annapolis, what are your reflections on this new peace initiative of President Bush?
KS: Well! I think we must congratulate President Bush and also the parties to this conflict, President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert for having come together to forge some kind of a road map to the future, with some kind of a time frame, along with a monitoring mechanism as both sides have agreed that US would oversee the progress. They have also agreed to bi-weekly meetings and setting up by December 12 a working group which takes this step further.
DR: It took President Bush seven long years to re initiate this dialogue. What is India’s opinion on this?
KS: As far as I am concerned it is an initiative that must be applauded. You must remember that the crisis in West Asia has been festering for a long time and the impact of the consequences of the conflict have been felt over the world and the International community must come forward to help in any way. We should look upon this initiative with optimism and the issue is not that he took his time. My personal reflection during the course of this summit has been that both parties want peace as they see that violence and negotiations are incompatible. We must encourage and support them.
DR: Yes! India has been a good friend of Palestine and it was the first country to recognize the State of Palestine in1975. Since then there has been a major shift in India’s foreign policy with leanings more towards Israel. Then it was Arafat. Today it is Hamas which is really not keen to talk to Israel. You met President Abbas yesterday. What misgivings did you convey to him?
KS: Everybody including both heads of state knows the obstacles and the pitfalls (meaning Hamas) in the road ahead. Also all know that there are other spoilers besides Hamas. It is going to take a lot of give and take to achieve this peace. This is the impression I got frankly that he really wants peace and has a desire to move forward. Let us see. Again it is imperative that the entire International community come forward in backing this initiative.
DR: There is a reason I asked this question, so let me rephrase it. What is India’s take on Hamas?
KS: You know very well and this is something which we made very clear before too, that violence is not an appropriate route to take when we want to move forward. We have always supported Palestine and its cause and we want good relations with Israel too. I am very happy that the two state concepts have been agreed upon for the very first time.
DR: Switching gears now Kapil… What on earth is going on in Nandigram and why was it allowed to escalate so much?
KS: As far as the central government is concerned we have made our position very clear. The Central government has two takes on this. One, there seem to be evidence of some outside elements who are trying to destabilize this region…
DR: Who are these elements?
KS: I do not want to mention them now?
KS: There is at this moment a temporary resolution so why should anybody make a statement which will increase the tensions in the area. Number two, yes excesses were committed in Nandigram and I am sure the government has taken cognizance of that and we hope that things will improve.
DR: What has your ministry been up to lately?
KS: Quite a lot actually. The bio-tech sector is moving ahead at a pace of 30 to 40 percent. We in collaboration with the ministry of agriculture are working towards a plan to ensure 4 % growth rate. Agriculture needs a lot of technology and we will provide inputs in the quality of soil and seeds. We have new software that monitors crops which alert farmers accordingly. By this we will know the extent of productivity. We are also trying to empower the university structure and are offering scholarships for excellence. We want more students to take to science for which we are offering a Rs 5000 a n incentive. Huge investments are on and the proof of the pudding will be in the eating as it will be evident soon…….
DR: Quite a rosy scenario. How does it percolate down to the common man? Let’s not be defensive about this. We talk of 9 % GDP growth but how has it impacted the poor?
KS: Very important issue that you have raised, Devasish This is the one government which is addressing this issue…….
DR: Come! Come now Kapil! Garibi Hatao has been going on since Mrs. Gandhi. Nothing has been done about this, so do not say that you are doing anything? What concrete steps are you taking…?
KS: I am coming to that. I knew that you would be countering me...
DR: Okay then. Convince me!
KS: I want to inform you that never before in the history of India have you had the kind of investment made in the social sector. They may have been slogans before, but there was no money to back it. That we have a 9% growth is crucial as it gives you the capacity to invest in the social and education sector. Our health budget has increased significantly. There will be a slow impact but there is no magic wand to make it happen immediately.
DR: The nuke deal was botched by your coalition partners? What now?
KS: There are a lot of misgivings but also a lot of politics. We are debating this issue and the opposition which initially had supported this is opposing this for the sake of opposing. I know the Indian American community here has contributed a lot and I must say that we are equally disappointed like the. But, I assure we will move ahead.
DR: Why did the government of India ask one of the finest diplomats Ambassador Ronen Sen to apologize in parliament for a comment he reportedly made off the record? Why did the government subject him to such embarrassment?
KS: Remember Devasish, the parliamentary process is not a governmental process. If the issue is raised in Parliament and the speaker takes note of it and refers it to the privileges committee, the government has no right to override this. So it inappropriate to say that the government allowed this to happen.

Music composer Ricky Kej wins third Grammy Award, dedicates his trophy to 'India'
Kej took home his first Grammy in the best new age album category for 'Winds of Samsara' back in 2015.
LOS ANGELES: Music composer Ricky Kej, based out of Bengaluru, has won his third Grammy Award for the album 'Divine Tides'.
The US-born musician shared the award with Stewart Copeland, the drummer of the iconic British rock band The Police, who collaborated with Kej on the album.
At the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, the duo earned the gramophone trophy in the best immersive audio album winner category.
They had won a Grammy in the best new age album category for the same album last year.
"Congrats Best Immersive Audio Album winner - 'Divine Tides' Eric Schilling, immersive mix engineer; @copelandmusic, @rickykej & Herbert Waltl, immersive producers (Stewart Copeland & Ricky Kej) #GRAMMYs," announced the Recording Academy, the organisation behind Grammy Awards, on its official Twitter page.
After bagging the trophy, Kej took to Twitter and expressed joy on his win. He wrote, "Just won my 3rd Grammy Award. Extremely grateful, am speechless! I dedicate this Award to India. @copelandmusic. Herbert Waltl Eric Schilling Vanil Veigas Lonnie Park."
Other nominees in the category were: Christina Aguilera ('Aguilera'), The Chainsmokers ('Memories... Do Not Open), Jane Irabloom ('Picturing The Invisible- Focus 1), and Nidarosdomens Jentekor & Trondeheimsolistene ('Tuvahyun - Beatitudes for a Wounded World').
'Divine Tides' is a nine-song album that aims to deliver the message that "each individual life plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance that serves all equally".
Kej took home his first Grammy in the best new age album category for 'Winds of Samsara' back in 2015. As part of his work with The Police, Copeland has won five Grammys. With Kej as a collaborator, this is his second award.

A month and a half of ODIs, centuries, and washouts have come down to this. Defending champions Australia (6-5) take on hosts England (4-6) in Thursday morning’s second semifinal for the right to play in Sunday’s 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup Final. The winner will face New Zealand, who withstood India— and the weather— in the first, two-day semifinal. England have never won the World Cup, but are once again favorites (11-8) to do so this year.
The Black Caps needed help from their bowlers and fielders— and mother nature— to pull the upset of the tournament against a powerful India side. When rain forced the suspension of play with fewer than three overs to go, New Zealand stood at just 211. The next day, the Black Caps rallied to finish 239-8. By the time India’s veritable murderers’ row of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and KL Rahul entered the Old Trafford crease, statisticians gave India a 98% chance at victory. Instead, all three were dismissed for just one run each. Once Jimmy Neesham caught Dinesh Kartik for six, the collapse was on, and the Black Caps advanced to their second consecutive final, winning by 18 runs.
It’s been all business for Australia in this tournament. Once the pariahs of the cricketing world, the defending champions steamrolled to seven wins and only two defeats: one against India in their third match, the other against South Africa in their last. David Warner and captain Aaron Finch have brought the bats, while Steve Smith withstood the boos in his return from Sandpapergate. If you’re a history buff, Australia have never lost a World Cup semifinal, and have won the whole tournament four of the last five times. All this might explain a very relaxed and confident side.
The Aussies already defeated England in round robin play two weeks ago, and, despite being slight favorites, the hosts will have to bring their A-game to pull off a reversal of fortune. After losses to Pakistan and Sri Lanka, who finished 5th and 6th, respectively, the hosts needed to knock off the other two semifinalists in consecutive matches just to make the last four. Captain Eoin Morgan believes this run of form has given England the momentum they need to win their first semifinal in 27 years. The opening partnership of Jonny Bairstow and Jason Roy has been crucial to England’s success, and will be dearly needed on Thursday.
Another side boasting an impressive run of form in this tournament has been mother nature. Rain has cancelled a record four matches, shortened one, and delayed the first semifinal. Forecasters are predicting a 40-50% chance of rain on Thursday as well. Should the other semifinal be abandoned, Australia’s superior record and points total would send them to Lord’s on Sunday.


Freeze train fares plea for beyond scunnered commuters, says MSP
MSP Jackie Baillie and Scotfail rail services.
By Bill Heaney
Train fares for local commuters should take their lead from the weather – and remain frozen.
Dumbarton and Lomond MSP Jackie Baillie has called on Transport Minister, Michael Mathieson, to freeze rail fares and urgently improve train performance.
A newly launched poll, published by The Herald today, has shown that two thirds of Scots who use public transport daily struggle to afford peak time fares.
The results from Censuswide Scotland Opinion Poll, which conducted the research with 1,000 participants between 15.01.19 and 17.01.19, showed that 67% of Scots struggle to afford peak time fares.
The poll also showed that 69% think it is unfair to charge more for a peak fare than an off peak fare, and that 84% of participants have called peak time the most uncomfortable time to travel.
The study also revealed that, on average, people who use public transport in Scotland are delayed twice each week or 34 minutes per week, which averages 29 hours and 4 minutes per year.
The MSP has highlighted the particularly bad service commuters on the Balloch and Helensburgh lines have received over the last few months.
She said: ““Commuters across Scotland have seen their transport sky rocket while the quality of their transport service has plummeted.
“In Helensburgh, Balloch and Dumbarton, the train service has been particularly poor for months, and it’s been characterised by delays and cancellations.
“When trains do show up, there are only three carriages instead of six, so commuters are crammed in like sardines on peak hour services.
“As the poll clearly demonstrates commuters are fed up – they don’t think they are getting the value for money and on current performance they are right.
“It’s about time the Transport Minister acted to protect the interests of commuters by freezing fares and urgently improving performance.”

Book: Leota - Dream Woman by Rita Karnoppcategories: Book, 1855, Lame Bull Treaty, Blackfeet, Montana, Territory of Montana, Romance
Rita Karnoppabout this book: When I was doing research for another book, I ran across the description of the scene for the Treaty of 1855. What I did know was that the 1849 gold strike in California changed the face of western North American. In 1840, one thousand Americans crossed the Plains and that was followed by ten thousand in 1849. The US government wanted to ensure safe passage for the migrants, so they commissioned Isaac Stephens to negotiate a peace treaty with all of the Plains First Nations. The Blackfeet call this treaty the Lame Bull Treaty.
Leota- Dream Woman is the story of a mystical Blackfeet woman who dreams of the Treaty of 1855. She sees her chief, Lame Bull, signing the treaty that would result with the loss of their land forever. It is her quest to make sure this treaty is not signed.
Lawyer Marsh Pepperhorn comes west to start his law practice in the wild west and join his twin brother. He arrives to find bushwackers have murdered everyone, except his nephew. Together they chase after the killers into the Mountains of the Bear's Paw, Montana Territory. It is in this quest that Marsh saves Leota from the Crow and she soon proves valuable.
Both in search of their own justice, together they bridge the distance between the white world and the Indian. In a turbulent time of clashing values, traditions, languages, and cultures, Leota-Dream Woman finds a way to make it all believable.

A new piece of mine about the shortcomings of Google, just up on Huffington Post.
This is my latest piece on Huff Post, one particularly close to my heart, about the plight of growing numbers of refugees heading out to sea on crowded battered boats, seeking a haven from the destitution of their homelands.
There are no easy answers here. I ask that you read and share. Thanks.
I am thrilled that my poem Enough is the featured piece on the website Every Day Poems today.
I’m honored to be in such wonderful company; these are extraordinary writers.
I invite you to come and read my work – and theirs.
Read my new story on Huff Po today, a fun romp of a story about a hideously bad date. If it makes you laugh: like it on Huff Po, share it, tweet it, comment , any and all.

Article (linked below) running today in the Barrie Examiner about my MacLaren Art Centre Reading there on November 28th.
I think the writer Susan Doolan did a wonderful job telling my story.
I am reading from my new book at Toronto’s Runnymede Library next Thursday, October 16th.
And I ‘ll be introducing the author Bob McDonald host of CBC’s weekly science show Quirks and Quarks, who will launch his latest book Canadian Spacewalkers: Hadfield, MacLean and Williams Remember the Ultimate High Adventure.
This man has an asteroid named after him! Whether it’s heading this way I’ll have to check with him…
Science and Art intersecting!
Author Michael Ondaatje says of her work,
“Sharon Olds’s poems are pure fire in the hands, risky, on the verge of falling, and in the end leaping up. I love the roughness and humor and brag and tenderness and completion in her work as she carries the reader through rooms of passion and loss.”
Even Ondaatje’s reviews are pure poetry…

Alberta pulse farmers to benefit from $815 million flowing to irrigation NOV 12 2020 | Producers | Blog Post
Pulse growers will be among those benefitting from an $815 million investment from federal and provincial governments to expand irrigated acres in Southern Alberta.
“The ultimate goal of the investment is to add 200,000 acres of irrigated land over the next five years in Southern Alberta via both efficiency and water storage upgrades or additions,” said Keven Sawchuk, Senior Merchandiser for Viterra Inc. “This expansion will be positive for pulse farmers in relieving some of the pressure on irrigated rotations which will improve yields through better disease management, while also providing the opportunity for some additional irrigated acres of pulses in the proper agro-climatic areas where each pulse is best adapted.”
Funded projects will focus on increasing water conveyance efficiency and allowing more acres to be irrigated with the same amount of water. Modernizing and building new irrigation infrastructure will increase irrigated acreage, increase primary crop production, improve water use efficiency, increase water storage capacity, enhance water security, and provide flood protection to support long-term value-added processing activity. Alberta currently has more than 1.7 million irrigated acres.
The funding boost is the result of a partnership between Alberta’s government, the Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB) and irrigation districts.
The CIB is mandated to invest $35 billion in federal funding and attract private sector investment into new revenue-generating infrastructure projects. This is the first project announced under the CIB’s recently announced $10 billion Growth Plan.
“This is a major development for Alberta farmers,” Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. “Through the Canada Infrastructure Bank, and with our provincial counterparts, this investment will leverage private sector partners to significantly increase the acreage of irrigated land in southern Alberta. For farmers of grains, pulses, and other crops, this will not only increase the yields of their crops, but also the long-term sustainability of their operations.”
The expansion will see hundreds of kilometres of pipelines built and contribute about $436 million annually to Alberta’s gross domestic product (GDP), which is top of mind for Premier Jason Kenney.
“This historic investment in irrigation infrastructure will create thousands of jobs and support Alberta’s economic recovery, while strengthening our competitive advantage,” he said. “Agriculture is the beating heart of Alberta’s economy and as global demand for agri-food products continues to grow, our producers and irrigation districts will be better positioned to meet that demand for generations to come.”
The signing of a Memorandum of Understanding by all parties and agreement in principle for the CIB to invest about $407.5 million in this project, to be paid back by the irrigation districts, represents an innovative approach to financing a unique asset class.
“This project is the single largest irrigation expansion in Alberta’s history,” noted CIB Chair Michael Sabia. “Our investment is an example of the CIB’s $10 billion Growth Plan in action. We look forward to developing more projects with the Government of Alberta, to invest in its infrastructure and to strengthen and diversify the province’s economy.”
The Government of Alberta will contribute $244.5 million and the irrigation districts will contribute $163 million towards this important work. The eight irrigation districts participating in the investment include: Bow River Irrigation District, Eastern Irrigation District, Lethbridge Northern Irrigation District, Raymond Irrigation District, St. Mary River Irrigation District, Taber Irrigation District, United Irrigation District and Western Irrigation District.
“This is a historic day, for the Western Irrigation District and for irrigated agriculture,” said Board Chair Dan Shute of the Western Irrigation District. “A generational investment is being made to ensure productivity and stability of Alberta farms long into the future. With this funding, we will expand irrigation, increase water efficiency and make the service we provide to our water users even more secure.”
A Government of Alberta news release stated that Alberta’s agri-food sector contributes $9.2 billion in GDP and employs about 77,000 Albertans. The irrigation industry generates about $2.4 billion in annual labour income and supports about 56,000 jobs. The new projects are expected to create up to 6,800 direct and indirect permanent jobs and up to 1,280 construction jobs. The irrigation industry contributes up to $3.6 billion annually to Alberta’s GDP, which represents about 20% of the agri-food sector GDP on only 4.7% of the province’s cultivated land base.

DFH Volume 1 Issue 11
Rmembering Corinth is a ten-part series about Dave’s memories of Corinth in the late ‘50s. Dave, a retired elementary teacher and guidance counselor (36 years), and part time adjunct professor in the Counseling Dept. at nearby West Chester Univ. (24 years-8 after his “first” retirement) lives in Pottstown, PA. He and his wife, Kathleen, had four children, Heather, Jeremy, Emily (d.2008) and Benjamin. He descends from Wilber Sr. as follows: Wilber Sr., Rev. Charles “Chop” Dayton, Isabelle “Izzie” [Dayton] Hayes, David Hayes.
One of the biggest adjustments for us was the difference in the flora and fauna. We couldn’t get over all the trees and mountains and greenery. Accustomed to the arid climate with little rain in Texas, we mostly ran around in shorts and tee-shirts, barefoot, catching horned-toad lizards and stuffing them into our pockets. In Corinth there were actual seasons, and the winter was certainly something to adjust to. We were enamored with the majestic Hudson River and adjacent waterfalls and that HUGE pile of wood, just down the street from us, that dwarfed the nearby buildings. It was easy to tell when you were at the southern end of town by the sight of that enormous mound of cut logs—a reminder of one of the chief industries in town, the International Paper Co. In Texas we were aware of the possibility of tornadoes and in New York, we quickly got used to navigating in a snow storm. We were immediately aware of the distinction of four seasons. Where we had come from, there were only two—wet and dry. One last thing to get used to was the north-country dialect. No more of the southwestern twang mixed with a bit of Dixie…no, this was definitely a different way of talking and, again, it took us awhile to figure out what our relatives and friends were trying to tell us.


Elite League Speedway: Darcy Ward back with Poole
Poole Pirates have confirmed that Darcy Ward will be their number one next season.
Last Updated: 05/12/13 4:00pm
After Chris Holder confirmed he would not be back with the club next season as he is giving British speedway a break, it was widely expected that Ward would be back.
Poole have now confirmed that Ward will indeed lead them next season.
"I believe Darcy is on the brink of becoming world champion, so to have him leading Poole's title defence is a huge boost for the club," said Poole chief Matt Ford.
"I cannot compliment Darcy enough for the role he played in turning around the 2013 season for Poole.
"I can reveal to fans that it took less a minute to sort out a contract for next season.
"It was abundantly clear that Darcy's priority is that he wanted to stay at Poole - and we very much wanted him to lead the team.
"I thought it might be a tough job to bring him back. But I believe Darcy could see the bigger picture and recognised the current situation with regards to TV deals - with the sport's hierarchy still in delicate negotiations.
"Darcy is in the process of making some big changes to his own personal set ups for next year.
"I have assured him that the club will do everything we can to find him additional local sponsorship to help his cause.
"I cannot think of a more marketable sportsman in Dorset than Darcy Ward. He is the dream advertising tool for any company locally and nationally.
"In less than a year's time he could be world champion. In my opinion, to have your name connected with one of the county's great success stories is a huge opportunity.
"What I would say is that if anyone feels they would like to invest in Darcy, I would urge them to talk to me in the first instance so we can open up a line of communication."

Dubai Was Founded as a small fishing village famed for being a source of pearls, Dubai was transformed in the 19th century by the Sheikh Maktoum, emerging as the commercial hub of the east. The discovery of oil in the 20th century and continued trade permitted to develop into the business and tourism luminary that it is currently.
Taking advantages of its strategic location in the midway between the Far East and Europe, ancient trading ability, oil riches and special tax regimes; Dubai has positioned itself as one of the most important international cities of the 21st century and holidays to Dubai are most sought after amongst all middle eastern destinations.
Frequently described as the Venice of the Gulf, Dubai is today a major tourist destination with the best upscale shopping malls, luxury hotels, artificial islets, sunny beaches, lush green parks, world-class dining, superb golf courses, gleaming skyscrapers, glamorous cultural centers and celebrated sport and cultural events; all in the middle of the desert.
What to do In Dubai
Sunshine, shopping, seaside, sports and safety – five of the key ingredients that have earned a growing reputation as one of the world’s most attractive and rapidly developing leisure destinations.
Long established as the trading and commercial hub of the Middle East, the emirate combines the excitement of a bustling commercial centre with the wide open spaces of a luxurious resort. Much of the emirates surrounding the Middle East, such as Abu Dhabi and Dubai are flourished with tourists year after year. Dubai is among the most popular destinations; however, Abu Dhabi is not far behind. With similar architecture and modern appeal anyone looking for a Dubai feel without the expensive price tag should consider this exciting place.
Located at the cross-roads of Asia, Europe and Africa, Dubai is well positioned to attract tourists looking for somewhere new and different, a destination combining the traditions of the east with the comforts of the west.
Both business travelers and tourists find that the city offers the highest standards of comfort and luxury. As befits a dynamic and prosperous business centre, Dubai‘s ultramodern hotels offer every luxury. Yet the comforts of the 21st century co-exist comfortably with the emirate’s rich Arab-Islamic culture.
An intriguing land that combines old-world souks and modern shopping malls, rolling sand dunes and championship grass golf courses, remote Bedouin villages and an array of five-star hotels, Dubai defies easy definition.
The weather is extremely hot and humid in Summer (on the months between June and September) with temperatures reaching 48°C (118°F). Even the sea temperature can get up to 35°C (95°F) during these months. From the end of September to May, the temperature is cooler with an average of 20°C (68°F).

Chantel Jeffries reveals what's in store for her new YouTube channel
Chantel Jeffries is no stranger to social media. Amassing over 1.7 million followers on Instagram, 400,000 on Vine, 219,000 on Facebook and over 150,000 on Twitter within the past five years, Jeffries is a seasoned pro in every sense of the word. So, it's safe to say that her newest social-focused project will undoubtedly join the ranks of her other fan-favorite channels.
Jeffries recently re-launched her YouTube channel, turning it into a hub for fashion, beauty, cooking, fitness, and viral videos. It will be an insider look into her life, taking users through her day-to-day routine (including of course, cameos by her cat Oliver). She's also letting her fans in on her creative process, allowing them to voice their own opinions for video ideas. As Jeffries notes in her very first video, "This is our space where we can do whatever we want." Having a direct say in your favorite YouTuber's videos is an offer too good to pass up, if we do say so ourselves.
Recently, we caught up with Chantel Jeffries about all things social media. Ahead, find out how Jeffries's social media channels came to life, what's in store for her latest YouTube venture, and more!
And if you want even more Chantel Jeffries news, head over to AOL.com at 12 pm and 6 pm EST today for more exclusive videos, photos, and interviews!
What lead to the creation of your first social media channel?
I started social media through Instagram first. I started posting pictures of my life and friends, like me going to the beach or working out, and my following just grew. Then I started modeling and expanded more into other parts of social media, like Vine, and Snapchat, and now I'm focusing on YouTube.
Was there ever a moment that you can remember that pinpointed when your Instagram blew up?
I think everything had pretty consistent growth over time, but I've seen certain pictures of mine go viral on the Internet. They just end up in so many place and they're all just random photos too that will go viral. When it happens, I just think to myself about how weird it is!
A post shared by 💿Ceejay The Dj💿 (@chanteljeffries) on Feb 18, 2016 at 9:29am PST
What's your favorite platform to use?
Snapchat because you can show off your personality in a more intimate setting and you get the chance to interact with your fans. If you turn your account on public, fans have the opportunity to send you pictures or videos. And you can turn it off and just snap everyone and take them through your day with you, which is pretty cool.
How would you describe dynamic between you and your fans? Is it a supportive relationship?
Yeah, especially through Snapchat, I feel like since followers feel like they know you, they tend to really support you. My Snapchat followers really do feel involved in my life.
%shareLinks-quote="My Snapchat followers really do feel involved in my life." type="quote" author="Chantel Jeffries " authordesc="" isquoteoftheday="false"%
Why did you decide to relaunch your YouTube channel?
I've always wanted to do more YouTube and I didn't have the right resources at the time to do it. I can't sit down and edit a video; I can barely make a PowerPoint or send an email. Literally, everyone yells at me and says "Respond to your emails!" but I really don't know how to do it. For a while now, I've been really into watching YouTube videos, and I wanted to be able to show people what I'm doing with my makeup or cooking, or just my day-to-day life. And before I thought that I wasn't going to be able to edit and do all the stuff, but now that I'm getting the right people on board, I'm excited to relaunch my channel!
What's something fans will be surprised to learn about you with all your new personal YouTube content?
I think that I was leading on a lot of topics on Snapchat first, like I'll do things such as making cooking tutorials on Snapchat. So I think people who follow me on Snapchat won't be too surprised; it will be a cleaner, better version of what I'm doing there. But for people on Instagram, since not everyone who follows me there follows me on Snapchat, it will be a surprise.

You're doing so many projects right now at once. Where do you see your career going in five years?
I feel like everything is shifting so heavily onto digital -- especially television and film, because there's now this emergence of videos on YouTube or Netflix -- so I feel like doing the same projects that I'm doing, but really focusing on a digital medium. But also acting and modeling as well. Plus, I'm getting really involved in fashion now, so we'll see!
