We boarded the Finlandia Seaways at 21:00 and left the harbour at midnight. Observations started the next morning at dawn, when we were well out in open sea. We were happy with the sightings of Puffin, as we don't see them very often from the Belgian coast. Unexpectedly, we also saw terrestrial birds such as Blackbird, Wheatear and Meadow Pipit. A couple of Arctic Terns passed close to the ship giving us good views. We expected to see quite a large number of birds around Bass Rock however, although many birds were obviously nesting on the island, relatively few were present in the sea around the island itself. Despite the good light conditions, the slight chop made it difficult to detect any Porpoises, nevertheless, 5 were recorded.
During the first hours of the second day of the trip, we still had moderate visibility. The sea was much calmer than the previous day and we recorded good numbers of Puffin and Guillemot during the first part of the trip.
Although the sea was almost mirror calm - in theory making it ideal for Porpoise spotting - a dense fog turned up after a few hours which reduced visibility to less than 200 metres and stayed with us for the rest of the trip. Even the RAF-helicopter, hovering over the vessel to perform a safety drill, was hardly visible.
Our thanks go to the Captain and crew of the Finlandia Seaways who made this a very enjoyable crossing and thanks to DFDS for their continued support of MARINElife's work.

Tribunal Considers U.S. Job Applicants; Bush Opposes New Criminal court.(WORLD)
Byline: Nicholas Kralev, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
THE HAGUE - Hundreds of Americans have applied for the initial 26 jobs at the new International Criminal Court (ICC) despite the Bush administration's strong opposition to the tribunal, court officials said yesterday.
Although preference in the hiring process will be given to candidates from the court's 139 member-states, the officials said that there is no rule that disqualifies U.S. citizens, and that they will be seriously considered based on their competence and skills.
"We've received over 1,400 applications so far, and those from the United States are in the hundreds," said a member of the advanced …

Kaid Benfield makes the point that talking about infrastructure is like watching paint dry. He describes a "dinner conversation that won't happen often: "hey - c'mon over and we'll talk infrastructure costs!" So he tries to make the conversation more comprehensible by inviting Bernie to the table, to explain Charles Marohn's thesis that American post-WWII suburban development is a giant Ponzi scheme.
Marohn himself summarizes his thesis in Grist stating:
What we have found is that the underlying financing mechanisms of the suburban era -- our post-World War II pattern of development -- operates like a classic Ponzi scheme, with ever-increasing rates of growth necessary to sustain long-term liabilities.... the local unit of government benefits from the enhanced revenues associated with new growth. But it also typically assumes the long-term liability for maintaining the new infrastructure. This exchange -- a near-term cash advantage for a long-term financial obligation -- is one element of a Ponzi scheme.
At first I was not convinced that suburban development was any more of a Ponzi scheme than the entire American economy, which, to paraphrase Kunstler, appears to have been composed entirely of making and financing the only thing too big to be offshored, housing, building big box stores to sell stuff to fill the houses, and cars to get between the house and the big box store. But then I read the five articles that Marohn wrote in Strong Towns, and find that he is saying the same thing, including the Kunstler references. From Part 4:
The first generation of suburbia we built on savings and investment, but we built the second -- and maintained the first -- using debt. Unprecedented levels of debt.
And in the process, we transformed our industrial economy into one based on consumption. As James Kunstler has noted quite often, when you take away the suburban-growth-related jobs from our economy, what you are left with is "heart surgery and KFC workers."
Marohn concludes in Grist:
We need to end our investments in the suburban pattern of development, along with the multitude of direct and indirect subsidies that make it all possible. Further, we need to intentionally return to our traditional pattern of development, one based on creating neighborhoods of value, scaled to actual people. When we do this, we will inevitably rediscover our traditional values of prudence and thrift as well as the value of community and place.
I would add that if we are going to rebuild our economies, we have to rebuild our cities. As Jane Jacobs wrote in the Economy of Cities,
Whenever and wherever societies have flourished and prospered rather than stagnated and decayed, creative and workable cities have been at the core of the phenomenon. Decaying cities, declining economies, and mounting social troubles travel together. The combination is not coincidental.
I think that Kaid is wrong, that this would make a fine topic for a dinner party conversation. Read all 5 parts at Strong Towns:
The Mechanisms of Growth - Trading near-term cash for long-term obligations.
Case studies that show how our places do not create, but destroy, our wealth.
The Ponzi scheme revealed - How new development is used to pay for old development.
How we've sustained the unsustainable by going "all in" on the suburban pattern of development.

Roadside Services and Solutions is proud of the contribution our more than 120 staff make to not only the company, but in creating a safer environment for Australians when they venture on the roads to their next destination.
The celebration of International Women’s Day shines the spotlight more specifically on the contribution of women to the workplace and indeed to society, but also how our teams of men and women work together in supporting and forming collaborative working environments.
Roadside Managing Director Craig Woods says, “I’m proud to have such a talented team of people at Roadside.
“We pride ourselves on recognising our highly capable and diverse workforce as a key competitive advantage in industry.
“We are committed to investing in our people to ensure top business growth, performance, and delivery to our clients,” Craig Woods says.
Roadside Services and Solutions employs 4% more females in our workforce compared to the Australian construction industry standard as measured in 2019-2020 (ABS, 2020).
A total of 17% of the Roadside workforce is female which compares to the Industry average of 14%.
“The females in our company undertake a variety of roles from being the champions of leading their departments to undertaking traditionally male-dominated roles.
“We are proud to say we welcome women breaking the glass ceiling. In fact we broke it years ago. We have three women on our senior leadership executive team who head our Corporate Services, People and Culture and Public Relations departments,” Craig Woods says.
Roadside’s South Australian and Northern Territory operations boast one woman working in civil works and two in signage production. In Victoria, the line marking team has a number of women operating the rigs. These jobs are usually dominated by males.
“Our Employment Diversity initiatives integrate all aspects of the business benefiting not only our company but our team and valued customers.
“We are proactive in ensuring our employees represent a diverse range of cultural, ethnic, and circumstantial diversity within our workplace.”
Roadside’s policies ensure the gender pay gap is non-existent. Remuneration decisions are made based on role requirements and not based on gender.
To drive the best performance from employees, Roadside Services promote flexible workplace practices.
These include: supporting mature employees transition to part-time work; and supporting employees who are primary care givers to children with disabilities, providing them the option to work part time and the ability to undertake their work roles in flexible working hours.
Happy International Women’s Day.
“We congratulate all women on this International Women’s Day and every day for the immense contribution they make to our society, our workplaces and our homes,”Craig Woods says.

Organic White Pepper
More common in French cooking than American, white pepper is a floral spice with a nice heat that lingers. It comes from Piper nigrum, which you may recognize as the same plant that produces black peppercorns.
White pepper has an essential oil content of about 1% that is made up of mostly monoterpenes and has a fixed oil content of 2% to 9%.
"Fulful abyad" is what white pepper is called in Arabic, in Mandarin it is "bai hu chiao," "poivre blanc" is the name in French, "langer Pfeffer" is what German speakers would say "pipli pipal" in Hindi, "Indonaga koshou" in Japanese, "pimento branca" in Portuguese, "zelyony pjerets" in Russian, and "pimienta blanca" Spanish.
White peppercorns and black peppercorns share their history since white peppercorns are just black ones with their outer skin removed. Peppercorns were discovered and quickly rose in popularity to become a globally popular spice. Arab peppercorn traders wanted to keep their sources as secret as possible, so they created elaborate stories about mythological beasts guarding the peppercorns to keep the general public from trying to find the spice on their own. This helped keep prices high and interest even higher.
Peppercorns were used as currency and in some cases were even used to pay ransoms or dowries. They were used by the Roman army as a method of payment as well, and a soldier could expect to find an allowance of peppercorns with his weekly pay.
The explosive growth of this spice expanded over time as people began to realize that there were no mythical creatures guarding the peppercorns, and prices stabilized. During WWII, a large number of peppercorn producers in Indonesia lost their land to the destruction of the fighting. During this time other countries tried to grow peppercorns and eventually Vietnam was able to take over a large portion of the peppercorn market. Today, most peppercorns are in fact grown in Vietnam.
Surprisingly, Americans are only the second largest consumers of peppercorns in the world. First comes Tunisia, as they consume a quarter pound of this spice per capita, per year.
It is believed that peppercorns are indigenous to India. These plants are usually grown from cuttings, but can also be started from seeds. Vines take roughly three years to become fully mature and produce fruit. Vines can continue producing fruit for up to twenty years, sometimes longer, if they are properly cared for. Peppercorn plants are sensitive to the sunlight and enjoy soils that are rich in organic material and well-drained. Pepper plants love rain and are harvested between the months of February and May.
Black and white peppercorns are grown the same way but are left on the vine for different periods of time to achieve the level of ripeness required to get their colors. Peppercorns mature from a green fruit to a red fruit, with the green being easiest to harvest and the red being much harder to come by. White peppercorns are produced when green peppercorns are starting to turn yellowish or red. Once they've reached this stage of maturity, the peppercorns are removed from the vine and submerged in water or boiled to make the skin easier to peel away. This reveals the white seed from under the skin, or the white peppercorn. They are sundried after the skin, or the pericarp, has been removed.
Our Organic White Pepper comes from India.
- White peppercorns are lighter in color than black peppercorns and are described as having a flavor that lingers more than black peppercorns.
- Black peppercorns are a classic American spice. They are used on everything from sandwiches to grandma's macaroni salad.
- Green peppercorns are still unripe when picked, so they are quite tender. After they are picked they are either freeze dried or air dried.
- Red peppercorns are rather expensive because they are very rare. It is hard to get true red peppercorns because they are an attractive source of food for small animals. They are dried at extremely high temperatures.
- Pink peppercorns are berries from Schinus mole, or the Peruvian pepper tree. They are more closely related to cashews than they are to true peppercorns. In France, they are not even called "peppercorns" because only the plants of the Piper nigrum plant are allowed to be called "poivre" or pepper.
White pepper is excellent with mashed potatoes, in salads, and in cream-based sauces. It should be added towards the end of cooking or at the table because overheating makes white pepper taste bitter.
White pepper is an exceptionally popular spice in Asian cuisines. It is the source of heat in place of chiles for many different cuisines. It is a prominent ingredient in hot and sour soup.
You may find this spice in French cooking as well. French cooking is often thought of as very aesthetically beautiful, and one of the most beautiful parts of French cooking is the béchamel sauce. Some chefs prefer white pepper for this dish because of the more floral flavor it gives off paired with the lighter color, while others have no preference and may use a black pepper.
Whole peppercorns are more flavorful and aromatic than ground pepper, but when stored properly ground pepper can retain their flavor and scent for a longer period. Be sure to store them away from light and heat sources. As the ground pepper has more exposed surface area, it loses its oils to the air more easily. This evaporation is what causes the decrease in both taste and smell, so store your ground pepper in a cool, dry, dark place to ensure it has the longest life possible.
Organic White Pepper has a lingering heat that is described as hotter than black pepper, but with less complexity. White pepper is also described as floral tasting.
Black pepper works as a substitute for white pepper in some cases. If the recipe you are using calls for a small amount of pepper, like a teaspoon or so, you can use the two interchangeably. If it calls for a large amount, about a tablespoon or more, you are better off not substituting as the floral subtleties of white pepper are much easier to taste when you use a large amount of it.

As well, the hospital network says it’s working to meet or even surpass pre-pandemic levels as it faces a surgical case backlog of roughly 6,000 as of June 21. In some cases, patients had surgeries postponed as many as three times as hospitals reallocated resources to respond to the pandemic.
“This is a number based on volume comparisons to pre-pandemic times. It is very difficult to measure backlog, but that would be the best guess of a high estimate,” LHSC’s chief medical officer Dr. Adam Dukelow said Monday.
According to Dukelow, LHSC says 11 out of 15 operating rooms at University Hospital and 14 of 17 operating rooms at Victoria Hospital are currently running, as well as two operating rooms at its Surgi-Centre.
He adds that “as the third wave continues to recede,” LHSC is focusing on recovery while also maintaining readiness in case of a surge in COVID-19 cases that require hospital care.
“The fact remains it will be a significant amount of time to fully eliminate the backlog that is occurring across the province and, frankly, the country and the world. This is truly a shared challenge across all Ontario hospitals and will likely require provincial support and solutions to speed the process up once the pandemic is over.”
In early May, Ontario’s fiscal watchdog estimated that it would take the province approximately three and a half years to clear the surgical backlog from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Financial Accountability Office says that estimate assumes hospitals will be able to operate at 11 per cent above pre-pandemic volumes in the coming years.
Meanwhile, LHSC administration is also focusing on COVID-19 vaccination among its staff.
So far, roughly 70 per cent of staff and physicians have had their first dose, with 30 per cent fully vaccinated, as of late last week.
Dukelow says those numbers are self-reported and he believes the true rate would be slightly higher.
“However, like every population, we likely have some vaccine hesitant folks working within our teams at LHSC so we have a multi-pronged approach to get that number higher,” Dukelow says.
- Death toll in Canada’s cantaloupe salmonella outbreak rises to 5: PHAC
- Why another, longer strike is set for 420,000 public sector workers in Quebec
- Texas abortion permission case highlights ‘new normal’ women face amid ban
- 40M women will likely experience problems after childbirth each year, study finds
LHSC launched its ongoing Get Vaxxed! campaign about a month ago and is currently working with the Middlesex-London Health Unit to bring small amounts of vaccine on site to make it more convenient for staff to get vaccinated.
“Lastly, in the coming weeks, we’ll be rolling out an enhanced attestation and education campaign for those that are vaccine hesitant, connecting employees and physicians with people that can answer their questions and ensure that they have the most up-to-date information and their concerns addressed.”
Dukelow stressed that staff continue to use PPE, or personal protective equipment, and other IPAC, or infection prevention and control, measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
LHSC is currently in the midst of an outbreak at University Hospital which Dukelow expects to be declared over within the week.
The outbreak was declared June 13 in 8TU Transplant Unit and is believed to be linked to the Gamma variant (P.1), which was first identified in Brazil, though full sequencing is still in process. It’s linked to fewer than five patients and fewer than five staff cases.

Hello again, friends. The summer doldrums are soon coming to a close and markets will be back in full swing in a few weeks.
I was curious just how much volume drops during the summer months – not quite curious enough to do an intensive study, but still curious enough to take a quick peek at some numbers. I looked at NASDAQ volume and found that US equity volume dropped 23% from June to July this year, and 36% last year. That’s a pretty significant drop!
What does this mean? Nothing really, but to me it’s a reminder that the market – as vast and mechanical as it may seem – is indeed comprised of individuals.
Real people. People who need to recharge. People who go on vacation. People who probably choose all-inclusive resorts in Tulum, overindulge on nachos rather than real Mexican food, and don’t apply enough sunscreen. That’s the “omnipotent market” – thousands of these fallible, sunburned people.I’m smarter than these people – on the right day. And so are you! We can beat “the market.” Let’s go!

Prop trading and regulation
Regulatory intervention in the prop trading world is in the news recently due to comments by Trading Pit Cyprus CEO Daniela Egli. She told Finance Magnates, “we expect that at some point regulators will want to somehow impose some restrictions” on prop trading firms.
I think this topic is going to come up more and more as the prop trading universe is absolutely exploding. Every week there’s new prop firms in my inbox asking me to try them out – it seems like it’s getting out of hand. And as too many of us know, there’s a lot of bad actors in the prop trading world, especially amongst these newcomers..
The below board prop trading firms could certainly draw the attention of regulators, but technically there’s not a whole lot governments can do according to current financial laws.
For those who don’t know, prop trading firms are not regulated because, by definition, proprietary trading firms are trading their own money, not soliciting money from others. Most financial regulation is focused on firms that collect money from the public and then invest it or act as brokers. Since prop firms don’t do that, they can escape the oversight imposed on other market participants like mutual funds, brokerages, and banks.
That’s how the prop firms that actually provide real capital to their traders avoid regulation. And those firms like FTMO that keep their traders on demo accounts are technically just education companies, since they are not participating in the real market.
SInce prop firms operate in this gray area, it seems clear then that any regulation would have to spring from new laws that very specifically target this industry. So far I’ve heard of no such laws in the works, so any regulation would probably be several years down the line if not later.
That doesn’t mean regulators can’t have an impact on prop trading firms. Two recently failed prop firms met their demise after first encountering problems with regulators. Both Funding Talent and BluFX had issues with regulators that didn’t seem to understand the gray area that prop firms inhibit.
In BluFX’s case, the FCA – the UK’s financial regulatory agency – issued a very vague statement saying that BluFX “may be providing financial services or products in the UK without our authorisation.” As far as I know they weren’t operating any differently than other prop firms, but when you’re operating without clear guidelines, sometimes regulators push their way into the gray area and exact their will.
I think most prop firms that operate with integrity would welcome some common sense regulation to keep out the exploitative prop firms. But common sense isn’t always government’s forte.
Update on SurgeTrader
If you missed last week’s newsletter, I talked a lot about SurgeTrader. They’ve done some good things of late – charitable contributions, great giveaways, etc. – but a cynic might say it’s all smokescreen to drown out the allegations that the CEO’s husband was involved in a $35 million ponzi scheme.
The key question for those of us in the prop trading world is how those allegations and the fines paid out by CEO Jana Seaman and VALO Holdings – a “partner of SurgeTrader” – impact operations at SurgeTrader itself.
So far the answer is, not at all. All traders – at least those commenting in SurgeTrader’s discord channel – seemed to have received due payouts. Promotions, giveaways, contests, etc. are all happening as scheduled.
I opined last week that SurgeTrader probably just wanted this whole thing to quietly fade away, so they wouldn’t address the allegations directly. I wasn’t completely right. Although their socials have been silent on the matter, SurgeTrader did respond to questions on their Discord. Chris, from SurgeTrader’s customer service desk, said point blank, “SurgeTrader is not affected by any of the allegations and day to day operations are not affected.”
I still haven’t seen any direct responses from CEO Jana Seaman, and for better or worse she’s gone back to posting glamorous lifestyle reels on her instagram – diamonds, yachts and bikinis, which yield comments such as: “So prestigious them cheeks though (clap emoji).”
On the surface it seems like all is well and SurgeTrader has weathered the storm. We’ll know for sure in the coming weeks.
We can learn a lot from looking at prop firms that have failed in the past, such as Funding Talent. If SurgeTrader starts making drastic rule changes, eliminating some tradable assets, lagging in customer service responses, missing payouts, or suddenly having significant server issues, they might be in trouble.
So far, it’s been clear sailing. Stay tuned.
Another pretty quiet week, although there’s a Fed meeting with remarks by Fed Chairman Powell on Friday. There’s also new home sales being announced on Tuesday, plus jobless claims and durable goods data coming out on Thursday.
It will probably a pretty quiet week – maybe not such a bad week to get some sun and feast on some nachos in Tulum.

First things first, MoFo-ers! I am officially a day behind on my holidays. Blogging every day is more challenging than I thought it would be… my deepest respect goes out to all the year-round bloggers out there who manage to juggle jobs and family and fun and still take fantastic photos and write blog posts that make me laugh and make me hungry! I leave for work at the crack of dawn or before and I get home at about 6pm, and I can’t even imagine having their energy! So in the spirit of MoFo, which is all about having fun and celebrating amazing vegan food, I’m trying to cut myself a little slack. So don’t be surprised if I miss a day now and again and have to catch myself up later. I promise I’ll get all the holidays… I just might be a day or two behind!
Yesterday was National Fluffernutter Day! I had to look this one up. Apparently the fluffernutter was invented in New England once commercial marshmallow fluff came into being. The name came from the marketing department of the company that made the fluff, in an attempt to make marshmallow fluff seem like part of a well-rounded meal. A fluffernutter is basically a peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich on soft white bread.
We used Ricemellow Creme (which I was pleasantly surprised to find at our local health food store) and chunky peanut butter. I’m a smooth peanut butter girl myself, but the dude of the house likes crunchy so that’s what we had in the pantry. The bread is a soft white Italian loaf that we got at our local grocery store. I probably should have used Wonder Bread to be authentic, but I just could’t do it. Even the thought of Wonder Bread makes me die a little on the inside. (Plus I have no idea if Wonder Bread is vegan.) With the Italian bread, at least I know I’m going to use the rest of the loaf for delicious noochy toast.
Unlike noochy toast, which is a fantastic idea, I was pretty skeptical about the fluffernutter. I’m not sure why it seems so weird to me; peanut butter and marshmallow on, say, a graham cracker or something sounds pretty good. But something about putting it on bread just sounds yuck.
The ooze factor was definitely there when we cut it in half. It had grilled cheese level ooziness.
If we would have spread the fluff any thicker, it would have been a big, sticky mess.
So how did it taste? It tasted like peanut butter and marshmallow fluff on soft bread. Sorry, I can’t think of anything more clever. It was actually pretty bland for an item with such an interesting name. If you do decide to try it, I recommend you use smooth peanut butter… the peanut bits were the only thing in the sandwich that weren’t smooshy, and it sort of kept the sandwich from melting in your mouth the way it was trying to. In fact, I might try to recreate this another day using a smooth chocolate nut butter, Ricemellow Creme, and a sweeter, more dessert-y bread. In a panini press. There’s some definite room for improvement from the original, and a grilled dessert sandwich just might do it for me.
The upside of this experiment is the word “fluffernutter.” It has become the unofficial replacement swear word at our house. We’ve spent the last day telling each other to fluff off and laughing hysterically. Simple pleasures. :-)
Today is both National Moldy Cheese Day, and National Submarine Sandwich Day. Tomorrow I will bring you a delicious Sub Sandwich! See you then!

ORLANDO — Seaworld and the family of a trainer slain by a killer whale want to suppress video footage of the attack.
Dawn Brancheau was killed two weeks ago after being thrashed underwater before a horrified audience.
SeaWorld's cameras recorded the death, and the tapes were voluntarily turned over to law enforcement.
Once the Orange County Sheriff's Office concludes its investigation, the material would become public under Florida law.
Brancheau's family said Monday through a spokesman that public airing of the killing would only worsen their grief.
They could seek a court injunction to stop the release, at least temporarily. The family has been consulting the lawyer who represented Dale Earnhardt's widow in a court fight over his autopsy photos.

White House Republicans will discuss the US debt ceiling as default nears. On Wednesday morning, Democratic President Joe Biden and senior legislative Republican Kevin McCarthy were scheduled to resume negotiations to increase the $31.4 trillion debt ceiling and avoid a catastrophic default.
The Treasury Department has warned that the federal government may be unable to pay all its debts by June 1, eight days away, and it will take several days to get legislation through Congress.
The U.S. bond giant PIMCO said negotiators needed to reach a compromise by midweek to meet that deadline.
Biden and House Speaker McCarthy are sharply divided on how to proceed. McCarthy told reporters on Wednesday that he and Biden had not spoken since a Monday White House meeting but that their negotiating teams have been “productive.”
“We’ll get together this morning,” McCarthy said of the negotiations.
Democrats want to maintain spending unchanged and use new taxes to reduce the debt, while Republicans want major spending cutbacks.
The months-long deadlock has scared Wall Street, lowering U.S. stocks and raising borrowing costs. On Wednesday, U.S. equities were projected to fall.
Biden and McCarthy’s staff reported no progress following a two-hour Capitol meeting on Tuesday.
“The biggest gap we have is the funding issue,” said McCarthy’s lead negotiator, Representative Garret Graves, after Tuesday’s meetings. Republicans want to slash spending for the 2024 fiscal year from October to 2022, while Democrats want to keep it at this year’s level.
White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre termed the talks “incredibly tough.”
“Both sides have to understand that they’re not going to get everything they want,” Jean-Pierre said at a briefing.
Republicans’ proposals to impose additional work requirements on low-income Americans’ assistance programs, loosen energy licensing restrictions, and reclaim some unspent COVID-19 monies are dividing negotiators.
A White House source said Biden is “willing to meet the Speaker halfway” and has proposed a spending freeze, rescinding significant unspent COVID relief funds, and a two-year spending cap in line with previous bipartisan budget agreements.
According to the source, McCarthy “claims he wants to negotiate, but today he said the only concession he is willing to make is to prevent default—a basic Constitutional responsibility of his job.”
Congress regularly raises the debt limit to pay for expenditures and tax cuts. It happened three times during Republican Donald Trump’s four years in office without a standoff.
In 2011, a Democratic president, Senate majority, and Republican-controlled House brought the federal government near to default.
The talks are also opposed by conservative Republicans who want the dramatic expenditure cuts they passed in a House bill last month and progressive Democrats who reject spending cutbacks or new job requirements.
Biden reversed direction and began debt ceiling negotiations with McCarthy in the last few weeks after months of insisting he would not.

Egypt’s President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi meets with Head of the country’s General Intelligence Service Abbas Kamel (photo courtesy of the presidency)
Egypt’s President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi discussed with head of the Egyptian General Intelligence Service Abbas Kamel regional and international developments, said Presidential Spokesman Bassam Radi.
In their meeting on Wednesday, Kamel reviewed the results of the recent foreign visits and efforts the state has made in terms of the latest regional and international developments.
The meeting also addressed developments related to national security, especially concerning efforts to combat terrorism and extremism.
El-Sisi urged continuous efforts and coordination between relevant state institutions to preserve the national security and safety and establish stability as a main factor to support the development process, the statement read.
Kamel embarked on a number of visits recently,. In January, he travelled to Sudan to meet with head of the Sovereign Council Abdel-Fattah Al-Burhan, his deputy Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, and Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, in addition to Sudan’s Director of the General Intelligence Service Gamal Abdel-Majid.
In December, Kamel conveyed during his visit to the Libyan city of Benghazi a message of support from El-Sisi to the Libyan people, as he met with commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA) Khalifa Haftar and head of the Libyan House of Representatives Aguila Saleh.

Experts have pegged the cost of a railway to link to Vietnam at US$686 million, after yesterday announcing the conclusion of a feasibility study for the construction of the link from Kampong Speu province to the border with Vietnam.
The proposed railway line would plug the largest missing link on the planned Singapore to Kunming, China rail line.
The Third Railway Survey and Design Institute from the Chinese Railway Ministry had conducted the study since July 2009 with US$3 million in assistance, a release said.
The 257 kilomtere link was estimated to cost some US$686 million, not including settlement compensation for residents affected by the project, it said.
Officials could not be reached yesterday to confirm if funding for the link had yet been secured.
The study was conducted in collaboration with Cambodia’s concerned ministries and institutions, including on-site study and aerial photographs.
“The study results show that the railroad stretch of 257 kilometres from … Oudong district of Kampong Speu province, to Snuol district in Kratie province, to Valy [in Vietnam],” it said.
“The project will provide huge economic benefits to Cambodia, especially on the development of agriculture and mineral resources.”
The statement said the study result will be submitted to Prime Minister Hun Sen to make a decision on the project.
The Asian Development Bank is presently spearheading a project to revamp the Kingdom’s existing rail links, including the 254 kilometre South Line from the capital to Sihanoukville, and the 388 North Line from Phnom Penh to the border with Thailand.
Toll Royal Railways, sole commissionaire for the railway, began running trains between Phnom Penh and Kampot province on the first reopened stretch in October last year.

Venezuelan opposition politician Leopoldo Lopez has abandoned the Spanish ambassador's residence in Caracas to leave the country, more than a year after seeking refuge there to escape house arrest, three people familiar with his exit said. Lopez was jailed in 2014 after leading protests against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, before his provisional release in 2017. From his house arrest, he mentored Juan Guaido, then a young delegate in their hardline Popular Will party.

Meat that comes from animals which are not stunned before they are killed must be labelled, the British Veterinary Association (BVA) has said. Without new labelling rules, consumers risk unwittingly eating meat from animals suffering "unnecessary pain" before their death. Until now the BVA, which represents 18,000 vets, has campaigned for an outright ban on the "cruel practice" of religious slaughter - which involves killing live animals with a sharp knife before allowing them to bleed to death. A ban remains their goal but the professional body has adopted a new pragmatic approach believing it has more chance persuading ministers to introduce "no stun" labels. James Russell, new BVA...

Developers will start rolling out their COVID-19 vaccines in the coming months, leaving U.S. health officials to test their long-term safety. But that won't be easy, especially given that the Trump administration quietly shut down the office responsible for ensuring the safety of vaccines last year, The New York Times reports.Before the late 1980s, vaccine safety relied on parents, doctors, vaccine makers, and hospitals to step forward and report symptoms they feared were connected to a vaccine.

Makers of the Swiss Army knife are opening a retail store at Mall of America, their first location in the Midwest.
The Victorinox Swiss Army store is scheduled to open in June, next to the mall’s Apple store.
Its debut mirrors Apple in one more way: It’s another product manufacturer that has chosen the Bloomington megamall as a retail launching pad and showcase for its consumer brand. That’s a path already trod by dozens of product makers, from Lego to Nine West to Peeps.
The Victorinox Swiss Army store will sell its familiar knives, but it also carries travel gear, fragrances, watches and other consumer products. The company now has just a handful of U.S. stores, mostly on the East Coast.
Also new to Minnesota are two clothing retailers: Swim n’ Sport, which opened in January and features women’s swimwear; and Foreign Exchange, a new women’s and men’s clothing retailer scheduled to open in June, which has about 10 locations in the western United States, said MOA spokeswoman Sarah Schmidt.
Other retailers coming to the megamall: Blast Blow Dry Bar, which already has two locations in the Twin Cities, and Bruegger’s Bagels.
And one thing will soon depart — Ice Castles, the frozen outdoor attraction built north of the mall. Its two-month run is scheduled to end Feb. 20, although officials say it might be extended if the weather stays cold.

In Madurai, Puthiyavan (name changed) took financing through one of these simple apps. He joined their details that are personal including his PAN and Aadhaar figures, and an image, and sent applications for a в‚№5,000 loan. Following the initial deduction, he had been provided в‚№3,500. вЂњI became asked to settle в‚№5,100 within 7 days,вЂќ he said.
He downloaded numerous such apps, most of which offered loans at various interest levels, and borrowed cash. He began money that is getting at minimum such 50 apps and utilized that cash to be in one loan after another. вЂњThey began to impose в‚№100 to в‚№200 as interest for each after the stipulated seven days,вЂќ Mr. Puthiyavan said day.
As he had defaulted, he began getting abusive telephone calls through the professionals. Within one such sound clipping of the call he recorded, the professional ended up being heard stating that he’d make the connections of all of the ladies on Mr. PuthiyavanвЂ™s phone and then make abusive phone calls for them.
вЂњSuddenly, all my buddies, loved ones and colleagues began getting my picture, along side an email saying he added that I had committed online fraud. Rattled by this, he removed their authorized SIM payday loans New Jersey card and switched up to another number.
The callers additionally threatened to block their PAN and Aadhaar figures, and guarantee which he would not get every other loans later on. вЂњOnly now do I realise that such apps are not recognised by the RBI,вЂќ he added.
Mr. Puthiyavan lodged a problem using the Tirumangalam Taluk authorities. Law enforcement have actually started a initial inquiry into the way it is.
A collection agent working for a rogue app asked a young woman to video call him naked if she did not pay the loan on time in another case. Prasanth Rangasamy, a writer, stated he was called by the girl and reported concerning the phone telephone calls. She had lent the funds for a buddy who had been maybe maybe not pay that is able on time. She continued borrowing the funds through the application till it rose to в‚№1.5 lakh.
A crackdown on such apps in a bid to tackle the menace, Director-General of Police (DGP) J.K. Tripathy said he would hold a meeting with officers and order. The police are also circulating advisories on social media to create awareness.
A police that is senior stated that they had run into several similar incidents in neighbouring States. The fintech apps were running under various names and attracting internet surfers by providing mortgage loan of 0.98percent per time.
вЂњThe target falls victim to a circle that is vicious realising the impending potential risks. The apps charge an interest that is annual of 66%, which can be dual compared to the RBI-mandated restriction of 36%, or perhaps the roof fixed by the us government. Additionally they charge a processing fee and charges that are GST the mortgage. Following a few complaints, we’ve constituted a team that is special locate the operators of these fintech apps,вЂќ the officer added.
Wow Paisa, Gold Bowl, okay money, Udhaar Loan, Go Cash, FlashCash, money Pot, One Hope and Bily money, Bubble Loan, Liquid money, money Bee, Rupee Factory, Paisa Loan, SnapIt Loan, in need of assistance, Rupee Plus, Pan Loan and Cash Port had been a few of prominent apps detailed by the authorities. вЂњThe apps have privacy policies to collect every little bit of information available on a phone that is userвЂ™s. Hence, they have been breaking the userвЂ™s privacy and utilizing their data against them,вЂќ the officer included.
An advisory from the authorities read, вЂњNone of the rogue fintech apps have actually web sites or contact information. Usually do not provide personal stats to such unregistered and unregulated apps due to the fact phone connections, photographs, digital digital camera while the phone memory is compromised by these online moneylenders. People must be careful.вЂќ

The Supreme Court has granted relief to women candidates who could not appear for the physical test during the selection process for Bihar Police held in 2018 because of their pregnancy and directed the Bihar Police Subordinate Service Commission to conduct a fresh test for such applicants.
A bench of Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Krishna Murari asked the commission to conduct the physical test of the candidates and adjust them against vacancies notified this year.
The top court's order came on an appeal filed by one Khusbu Sharma, challenging the judgement of division bench of the Patna High Court, which had overturned the order of a single judge of the High Court that had granted relief to her and asked the commission to conduct the physical examination of Sharma after two months.
"We are of the view that not only the appellant (Sharma) but all such candidates who sought deferment on account of pregnancy alone should be called for Physical Efficiency Test (PET). Since sufficient time has elapsed, we see no reason to further postpone the PET on that account for such candidates," the apex court stated in its verdict.
"Out of the candidates so called those who qualify the PET and are otherwise found in the merit for appointment alone would be eligible to be considered for appointment, subject to verification of the factum of pregnancy," it read.
Before approaching the High Court, Sharma had made representation to the commission seeking postponement of date of physical examination for selection to the Bihar Police. She could not attend the physical test as her delivery was likely to take place in the month when the examination was scheduled.
The Commission did not reply to her representations which prompted her to approach the court.
In the Patna High Court, the commission told that there were 14 other candidates who have approached it and their cases were still pending.
Apart from this, there are certain other candidates also, and the total number of ladies who claimed an extension of PET on the basis of pregnancy or injuries is stated to be 78 in all, out of which 73 are on account of pregnancy, the High Court was told.
The apex court opined that the presence of lady members in the police force, considering the crime against women is a prime need of the hour and endeavour should be made to ensure higher representation of women in the police services.
"It is not as if some quota is being carved out for the women candidates but they are competing against men candidates. They have been successful in competitive examination getting higher merit," the top court said.

Dear Stockton Civic Theatre Family,
I am excited to introduce myself to you as I join the company as the new Artistic Director. I am eager for us to get to know each other!
The first thing you should know about me is that working in the theatre is not just a job to me; it is a way of life. I have a complete and utter love for theatre, a commitment to serving and educating the community through theatre, and a passion for entertaining audiences. It seems that I have that in common with all of you here at SCT. I have been searching for an artistic home and I am glad to have finally found it. It is thrilling to join a company with such a long history, sterling reputation, and community of amazing people.
I am so appreciative that everyone I have met so far has been kind and welcoming and I can’t wait to meet the rest of the company. I look forward to seeing you around the theatre!See you soon,Dennis
