UK Welcomes Progress Towards Korea Free Trade Deal
Submit Articles Back to Articles
Issued 15 October 2009
Business Secretary Lord Mandelson has urged British exporters to be ready to
seize opportunities presented by a free trade deal with Korea.
EU Trade Commissioner Baroness Ashton and Minister Kim met in Brussels today
(15 October) to initial the EU-Korea Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
Lord Mandelson said that a successful conclusion to the FTA would mean
significant gains for UK companies as a result of a reduction in tariffs and
other barriers facing exporters to Korea. Lord Mandelson added he was delighted
that negotiations - launched in 2007 whilst he was EU Trade Commissioner – had
now been concluded.
Lord Mandelson said:
"Open markets present huge opportunities for UK exporters and are vital for
jobs and growth. Virtually all tariff barriers will be swept away creating new
access for UK exporters and service providers.
“Based on current trading patterns, the UK economy would be boosted by around
£500 million. However, this does not take into account new trade opportunities
that would be created to drive this figure even higher.”
Lord Davies, Minister for Trade, Investment and Small Business said:
“Korea is a major importer of those goods and services where the UK has a
distinct competitive advantage including automotive components, pharmaceuticals,
aircraft engines, electronics goods, financial services. I now look forward to
the agreement being formerly signed and ratified next year.”
1. EU-Korea Free Trade Agreement negotiations were launched in 2007, by Lord
Mandelson as EU Trade Commissioner.
2. Initialling is a non-legally binding indication that the form and content
of the agreement is settled. It indicates that negotiations between the parties
have essentially concluded. This precedes the formal signing of the agreement.
3. Following initialling, the Commission will seek assent from the European
Parliament, and the Council of Ministers. If this is secured then the agreement
would be signed by the parties to the agreement (the European Commission, EU
Member States and the Korean government). Following signature the FTA will need
to be ratified in the parliaments of all 27 member states and Korea.
4. It is estimated that opening up Korea’s markets would result in the
immediate reduction of €1.6bn in tariffs on EU exports and the creation of €19
billion per year in export opportunities for EU industry. The gains to the UK
economy are estimated at around £0.5 billion per year.

Russia and America agree to sharp cuts in their deployed warheads and delivery systems
IT HAS been a good week for Barack Obama. After passing his long-awaited health-care bill, he has now struck an equally long-awaited deal with Russia to reduce the two countries' nuclear stockpiles. On Friday March 26th he announced that Russia's president, Dmitry Medvedev, had agreed to a follow-on treaty to the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), which was signed in 1991 and expired last December. The new deal will cut both countries' arsenals by about a third from the maximum that would have been allowed under a deal struck in 2002 between George Bush and Russia's then-president, Vladimir Putin. The new deal will lower the countries' arsenals to 1,550 deployed warheads each and 700 delivery systems (intercontinental land-based missiles, submarine-based missiles and strategic bombers).
It had been widely expected, but is welcome nonetheless. Russia has been keen to reduce the cost of maintaining its large stockpile of nuclear weapons and Mr Obama has talked about getting eventually to a world free of all nuclear weapons. The treaty must next be ratified in Russia's Duma and in America's Senate, in the latter case with 67 votes of 100. But in America it should not be a partisan issue. Mr Obama noted positive discussions he has had with leading senators of both parties on the foreign-affairs committee, John Kerry, the Democrat, and the Republican ranking member, Richard Lugar. The White House addressed a potential sticking point, saying the new deal does not place any limits on testing, development or deployment of current or planned America missile-defence programmes. Robert Gates, the defence secretary, expressed the hope that Russia would co-operate with a redesigned missile-defence system in Europe. Russia was pleased at the inclusion of language referring to the clear relationship between offensive systems and missile defence.
Progress over nuclear-weapons cuts could help to warm relations between America and Russia which had deteriorated badly in the later Bush years, particularly over a planned American missile shield for Central Europe. Mr Obama's change to the Bush plan (he intends to resite the planned shield) has helped to ease tensions. Co-operation between the two countries continues in important areas. Russia now allows supplies to cross its territory to American and allied forces in Afghanistan. Russia, as a permanent member of the UN's Security Council, is also slowly coming around to the idea of new sanctions on Iran over the Islamic Republic's nuclear programme.
The momentum of the new START deal may help other nuclear negotiations. The treaty is to be signed in Prague on April 8th. Shortly after that a conference on nuclear security will take place in Washington, to discuss measures to help lock down potentially loose nuclear material that could otherwise find its way into the hands of terrorists. (Mr Lugar was an early sponsor of American efforts to secure weapons material inside the former Soviet Union).
Another conference takes place in May, under the auspices of the United Nations, for a five-yearly review of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). That treaty recognised five nuclear powers—America, Russia, China, France and Britain. It allows all other countries, in compliance with their treaty obigations, to pursue civilian nuclear power but no nuclear weapons. It also commits the nuclear powers to work towards nuclear disarmament. Israel, India and Pakistan never signed the deal and have all developed nukes. North Korea flounced out of the NPT and tested a bomb, too.
Mr Obama's team hopes that weapons cuts will draw some of the sting of a charge of hypocrisy by the big powers in trying to deny nuclear weapons to others, and may therefore allow for a robust strenghtening of the NPT.
That will have dramatic effects on both Russia and on the exiles themselves

A singer in Afghanistan is being described as the ‘Afghan Elvis Presley’ after acquiring legions of female fans – something many are saying is a sign of change in the country.
One is a musical legend with a love of cheeseburgers and spangly white all-in-ones while the other is a moustachioed crooner with a taste for dodgy military-style jackets.
But Farhad Darya has been dubbed the âAfghan Elvisâ after prompting packed-out concerts full of screaming female fans.
The United Nations goodwill ambassador strutted his stuff during a rare, high-security show at Amani high school in Kabul, Afghanistan.
In a country where women still have limited rights and music was banned under the Taliban until ten years ago, Daryaâs popularity is a sign of the changing face of the country.
Pictures taken at the concert show hysterical women reaching out to grab the 49-year-oldâs hand and cheering as he leaps down a mini-catwalk. Other images reveal Darya crooning while perched on a stool and soaking up a bit of audience interaction.
The singer, who has been performing since the 1980s, boasts a following of millions.
He has been described as a âmusic diplomatâ after campaigning for peace and human rights and also does a lot of work with Afghan street children.
Instead of rock and roll, Daryaâs back catalogue spans everything from classical eastern GhazalÂ music to upbeat pop. But despite a shared taste in questionable fashion choices, comparisons with the King should be overlooked.
Daryaâs adoring fans consist mainly of headscarved women so, unlike the real Elvis, at least he wonât have to worry about dodging any flying knickers from the crowd…

The train from the New York City’s Penn Station doesn’t feel different from the last time I took it. It was late February and the city—even Hudson—was delightfully warm. You needed a jacket, but didn’t need to bundle. On the train that February, I buried myself in work since leaving the city for a work day meant doubling up to make it worth it. As it stood, the trip was work. It was Nina’s place that called me: her small apartment, her vintage eye, the street-found furniture that was placed in corners of her home, making it like tiny museums in Mexico, Botswana, or her native Sweden. Every art piece had a story, which she told me as I tipped my body over her daughter’s bed, bit into apples, sorted a plate of oranges at the center of her kitchen table, and shared space and air without fearing that I may be carrying a virus that would get her sick.
The news about the virus back then was real, but to us, to New Yorkers, it didn’t hit us yet. It was far away. It was still in China, or slowly traveling to Europe, we heard. We shared sandwiches in Maker Hotel, and spit-laughed over aperol spritzes. It was the first time in a year I had seen my friend, Alexa, whose son’s second cancer battle was still raging. (He is a fire-beam old man of a child.) She spent days going back and forth from the city to Hudson, trading twins and hospital rooms, rotations, and we heard rumors from doctors and nurses. Alexa had done it twice now, and in truth, her ears were already tuning to the virus we couldn’t see yet. Mothers like her have a sense that isn’t afforded to the rest of us. It’s like she could sense the pH balance in the air had shifted.
Night had started to fall in Hudson by the time I caught the train that would slowly shuffle me back to the city, back to my children, and the sitter I would tap out after dinner and right before bed. As we walked on Warren towards Alexa’s car, someone she knew (a stranger to me) casually gave her a hug, then once dropping her arms, mentioned she just got back off a plane from China that morning. She dismissed the dismay with an “I’m fine!” and a wave of the hand as we slowly took steps to separate our bodies from her own. We gave a swift goodbye and went to Alexa’s car where her hands rapidly shook the contents of hand sanitizer onto one palm and the next, rubbing them together and apart in the ways the hospital teaches you. Two weeks later, I went to three pharmacies, a Walgreens, and two delis to find not a bottle in sight.
On the train home that night, I thought about that moment with that stranger and Alexa, though not much about the virus itself. It wasn’t tangible for me. But the transgression, maybe even, if I dare, the slight violence of it all, yes. That I considered.
The train was so slow back to the city, and the darkness hid the trees squeezing around the metal machine and my brown body. The only thing left to do on a train back from Hudson is wonder, which I am awfully good at. My mind kept coming back to this: When do we materialize someone’s struggles as our own? So that we respect their fears and, ultimately, their truth?
For the ride there this August, I took no work, just bags of clothes and hand sanitizers that remind of Alexa, plus two children, masks, and the energy necessary to eject myself from the city. On the train, the trees still hug us and we wonder what’s planted beyond the brush and how deep is that water and why does the moss look so green? I’m busy answering questions, allowing the sway of the train to rock me like someone’s baby. I can’t think too much of February. It seems a whole lifetime away; but I am still monitoring, for that person out there for whom the virus still rages. In New York, we live with the virus, with those who may have gone, with the sisters, brothers and aunts of those who may have departed. Maybe we don’t know them, but still we assume their pain, their fears, their loss.
Currently, Hudson is full of people who left the city in an effort to be close to it but not in it. There have been all-cash offers on houses that had been on the market for months and years. Who has all cash in a pandemic? Well, a certain kind of few. These people are not transient. They are people whose second homes are now the first, who will be a part of a large shift in Hudson, where black-and-white Black Lives Matter signs hang on every window.
But we are just visitors for a few days at the end of August, during the slow drip to September. Visitors willing to spend money locally and blend in–or not, depending on who you ask. Hudson for a few days without work, without a peek at social media or emails, is a place for me to step inside of myself again. I needed to reattach to my shell, its safety. A pandemic and an uprising have given way to the melody of ambulances, helicopters, police sirens, and nightly chanting, “BLACK LIVES MATTER!” Living, quite literally, at the intersection of it for nearly half a year, does something to the system. Working through it, raising kids through it, does something to a woman.
But there’s Hudson and the slow train ride there. Our walks through town are slow, too. I peel back the layers I’ve collected, like bags we carried up that Warren Hill. We stayed in a home with terrible coffee. At night, Alexa arrived on my temporary porch with palo santo. I pushed the lawn chairs six feet apart, taking measures before she arrived. In the morning, we visited L, W, and A on their island, which she likes to playfully call a compound. A compound in which veggies sprout up to be picked by children, tables and chalk for play, and the sound of birds. Alexa dances to their tunes. Her clothes hang to dry in the distance, and I am in awe. It’s a sign of the pandemic, but a sign of living–possibly even thriving!–in these times. We entered a little bubble, and our children said separately and at the same time, it was the best day of their lives.
When not with Alexa, River, Oak and I found places to explore. I brought the film camera and requested they hold still as I pulled the lever. I realized I zipped up into myself. It took a day or two, or maybe it was the train. It could very well have been seeing my friend and chatting from behind our masks, six feet apart, and shouting, “You’re okay?” and “I’m okay!”
The rocking train home lulled O into a deep sleep, his six-year-old body stretched across two seats, and there was just enough light to catch the sun duck behind the Hudson as the trees and wind carried us back to the city.

Loved this so very much.
thank you for reading, Anne
Sooooo lovely. A quiet and grounding essay in a time when I’ve needed it. Thank you!
I love that you found it grounding. Thank you 🤎
Loved reading this
What a pleasure to read. Thanks so much for sharing both the hardship and beauty of these times.
So beautifully written and captured. We went to Hudson for a day while upstate and it was quite lovely. I’m glad the children enjoyed that fresh country air.
I thought of you a lot. Literally said, I wonder if she’s done with the house? bahaha gives you a day. I’m so happy you all got to spend so much time away this summer as well.
Amazing photos! Love seeing these faces on film
the best stoop purchase 😉
Loved reading this. The island seems magical.
Hudson is a charming but oftentimes odd place! The BLM signs strike a dissonance to me. When I was there earlier this summer there was a GoFundMe for the West Indian store near the new Ca’Mea. It took a long time for it to get funded, but it finally did. In a place where folks can put all cash offers on a house, why was it so hard to raise $26k for this community pillar? Sigh. There’s such a commitment to display the BLM signs, but I don’t know that there’s a commitment to justice or equity.
Some ramble thoughts.
I hear you. I actually just read an article (while taking a writing break) about this. It kind of narrowed in on the dislocation of Black people who grew up in hudson, long term white residence (many of which, are poor and have limited housing) and the white residents who are just moving in (many of which are wealthy). But also the reality that is: Hudson is funded by tourism. It’s interesting to see this play out in who gets funded and why, because of the obvious. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing – such an accurate depiction of Hudson. I had to move back from abroad this May and ended up settling here for a bit. It’s been nice and pleasant and peaceful just as you describe! A lot to observe and witness here as well.
This was such a beautiful read, and precious photos too. Thank you ❤
Loved reading this and so glad you had this little escape to feel the slowness of life and the little bubbles outside the city. We had a similar experience spending time in Greenport last month – a taste of life kind of away from it all, just enough to find ourselves again, to refuel and then return to the city for all its rawness.
Beautiful essay and photos – thank you. I particularly appreciated these questions, this wondering that means so much: “When do we materialize someone’s struggles as our own? So that we respect their fears and, ultimately, their truth?”
I’ve been thinking about this a lot— especially when it comes to the virus and invisible illness and those at-risk (when antiquing a man who I was buying stuff from asked me (politely) if I’d be willing to stand back a few more feet though I had on a mask etc because he was taking medicine that lowered his immune system and left him immune compromised— which puts him in particular risk for the virus. At the same time, the argument and call— as see even on the streets in Hudson, for Black lives to simply matter— to white people, our system and our government, puts this sort of wondering in a different light. It all matters all the time. The fundamental problem with Americans is the inability to see our neighbors issues as our own— which in and of itself is community ethics.
So lovely to see Hudson through your eyes and words! I’m glad you could have this time here with such a sweet family. This city is a special and complicated place with a lot of work to be done to support our longtime residents.
Thank you for reading Anna. I enjoyed it (always do) and want to go back 🤎🤎
Wow – a beautiful essay. A lovely mark at the end of summer.
Thank you, Katie 🤎
Just finished watching your recap on stories about your time away and staying unplugged. I see you and hear you loud and clear so here I am 😉 I love the way your write about your world and the world around it. Always have, always will. People are really missing out if they only catch snippets of you in an instagram caption or a story thread. I was particularly sensitive to what you wrote, “When do we materialize someone’s struggles as our own? So that we respect their fears and, ultimately, their truth?” I’ve lived my whole life being highly highly sensitive to noticing and taking in others’ struggles and desires. I had no idea what a gift that was and what I could make of it until the buzz word “empath” started popping up. It’s sometimes a hard position to be in because I constantly feel the weight of the world on my shoulders (albeit as it may I can never truly understand what a person is actually going through), but just know my ears are open. Love you and thanks for always inviting us in.
Nicole, I love you! I also always appreciate your DM’s. I totally know you are an empath and tbh thinking of why I needed to reroute some energy was simply because of that too. Just sucked in and unable to untangle myself. I wish it was a way to more easily spread what we’ve got around, I imagine that people would get it a little better. And maybe that’s why i posed the question.
I appreciate you. 🤎
Long time follower, first time commenting. Everything about this was just so dreamy and beautiful. Thanks for sharing your vision ❤
Thanks Ryan for commenting and following.
This was beautiful
I love this essay ! You are a really good writer
I literally am sitting in the sunshine, reading this post and smiling. Your writing does that. Virtual hugs x
Thank you for the medicine of your words. I’m so weepy and overwhelmed tonight and the beauty and thoughtfulness I’m reading in your posts is calming me right down. I’m glad you’re writing.

Andrew Niccol's present tense / Director takes current technology to the next level in comedy 'Simone'
Andrew Niccol makes science-fiction films where the science isn't really fiction. His new comedy, "Simone," about a movie director who uses computers to invent a digital actress, will probably be filed on some video shelves under sci-fi -- even though the technology in the film is already a reality.
"There are digital newscasters," Niccol said. "Oliver Reed acted from the grave in 'Gladiator.' He died, and they finished (the 2000 movie) with a digital Oliver Reed. Obviously it exists out there now. 'Simone' is just the logical extension of where we can end up."
In "Simone," which opens Friday, a petulant actress (Winona Ryder) bails out in the middle of a film by director Viktor Taransky (Al Pacino). As he's about to be exiled from Hollywood, Taransky is approached by a mysterious stranger, who has perfected the technology to create a virtual actress.
From there, Niccol pushes the concept of a fake star to its limits, as Taransky finishes the film with Simone, whom fans soon worship for her ability to sing, act, promote charitable causes and avoid the paparazzi. It seems the more she avoids the public, the more the public adores her.
Life has been imitating art as New Line Cinema promotes the film.
The character Simone is uncredited by the filmmakers, who are not getting into specifics about how she was created. New Line's Web site and other promotions are taking the "Blair Witch Project" approach, suggesting she might be a digital invention (although movie rumor Web sites have pointed out her physical similarities to a Canadian model).
Niccol acknowledged that while filmmakers could make a digital actress, the technology as explained in the movie is a few years off.
"We're not quite at the point where you can do it all from pixels from scratch," Niccol said "You have to use human voices, you have to use motion capture, you have to start with a human element."
Just-over-the-horizon science and people living lies have been themes in all of the 38-year-old's films. Niccol wrote and directed "Gattaca" (1997), about a man who tries to fool the government into believing he has the genetic code of a friend.
Niccol also wrote and co-produced "The Truman Show," starring Jim Carrey as a man whose life has been televised as a reality show from birth to adulthood.
The filmmaker acknowledges that it's hard to categorize his movies, which are never in the same place in chain video rental stores. "Sometimes I see 'The Truman Show' in comedy on the video shelf. Sometimes I see it in drama and sometimes I see it in sci-fi. I never know quite where (my movies) are going to end up."
"Simone" is more like "Gattaca" -- a high-budget concept that may appeal to a less mainstream crowd. "I do struggle with a budget, because I tend to have expensive ideas that are also somewhat unconventional. In the studio system that's probably the worst combination that you could have."
The biggest luxury Niccol had is Pacino, who departs from his usual scenery- chewing roles for a rare comedic part.
Niccol said he didn't want a stand-up comedian-type for the role of Viktor. Considering the subject, he thought it would be better to get someone who is synonymous with Hollywood.
"I never write with anyone in mind, but when I finished the script I thought it would be so great to have Hollywood royalty," Niccol said. "It would be more subversive to have one of the world's most respected actors saying 'Who needs actors?' "
Niccol found ways to trim the budget in other places, using some of the same visual trickery that his film sends up. A scene at the Taj Mahal was actually taken from "Forrest Gump" and digitally enhanced to include Simone's image. A concert scene at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum was also a feat of technology.
"I didn't have the budget to get 100,000 people obviously, so I did crowd duplication," Niccol said. "I used stock footage from other concerts -- Robbie Williams, I think, in Wembley Stadium. So I just cut those people out and moved them to another stadium."
Niccol is not discussing his next project, but it will probably be along the same lines as "Simone." While his films are grounded in science fiction and technology, Niccol swears he won't direct the next superhero franchise or bugs-from-space blockbuster.
"I just don't think I'd be very good at it," Niccol said. "I was offered 'Superman' at one point, and I just thought 'I can't do this.' I'd have Superman crying or something and I'd take tens of millions off the box office. People would run screaming from the theater."

Interactive dining is the new buzz-phrase in the restaurant business, what with restaurants of all kinds -- ranging from top-notch fine dining establishments to crummy student joints -- taking steps to give their customers truly interactive dining experiences that will be memorable for more than just good food.
With the technology available these days, there are a lot of ways that dining can be made more interactive. Many restaurants are providing customers with touchscreen menus as well as access to web browsing and social media services. Restaurants can also attract customers via interactive dining initiatives involving rewards for customers, or even offering diners the chance to take part in preparing the food.
Other restaurants leverage the arts to attract their customers, with the Atelier Crenn restaurant in San Francisco treating customers to a theatrical dining experience where the menu is inspired by poetry.

Wow, really? Stick saver hoops are not so stick saving after all lol. :)
Could be that there is more surface area of the stick taking punishment because of the hoop being flat, thus causing it to break sooner instead of getting chopped up like it would with standard hoops. Interesting, thanks JosephD.

I'm certainly a rim shot guy, but I'm not worried about the 'feel' or the longevity of my sticks. I've never noticed any substantial difference in feel when using die cast, and my sticks already last me longer than I really need them to. I wouldn't complain about the trade off of sticks vs tone.
I'm sure they won't make some monumental difference in my snare sound, but if they give me a better 'crack', then I'd say they're worth it.
Well then sounds like you know what you're after. Good luck finding what you need T.

BRUNSWICK, Maine – The Bowdoin field hockey extended its home winning streak to 37 consecutive games with a Tuesday night 6-0 win over Husson.
The third ranked Polar Bears (8-1) won their sixth straight game this season and 11th all-time against the Eagles (7-4). Bowdoin has not surrendered a goal to Husson since 2003.
Katie Riley drew a pair of Husson defenders off the left post and centered a reverse stick pass towards the Eagles' net, as Rachel Kennedy cut in and one timed it for Bowdoin's first goal of the game with 7:01 off the clock. Riley had a hand in Bowdoin's next goal as she crossed another pass from the left side, which Emily Simonton redirected before Adrienne O'Donnell would bury it in the net. With six minutes remaining in the half Bowdoin took the 3-0 lead as Olivia King took a hard shot from the top of the circle. Kennedy and Lauren Schroeder each got a piece of the ball as it passed to ensure no quick sticks from Husson would deflect it away. Annika Durell denied Bowdoin of two goals, one in each half, with defensive saves for the Eagles.
The Polar Bears waited less than five minutes into the second half before tallying their fourth goal of the game. Coming off a penalty corner, Colleen Finnerty controlled the insert at the top of the circle and dished a pass right towards O'Donnell whose hard sweep traveled through traffic into the cage. Riley netted a goal of her own out of a scramble in front of the Eagles' net fifteen minutes into the half. Husson looked to crack Bowdoin's defense with its first corner at 63:15. The Eagles were awarded four consecutive penalty corners, mustering a shot on cage each time, but were unable to break through. Meaghan Dwan recorded a defensive save during the flurry of Husson shots. Liz Znamierowski wrapped up Bowdoin's scoring as she on-touched a crossing pass from Pam Herter from the end line.
Kaitlin Dolloff recorded 31 saves in net for Husson, with Bowdoin outshooting the Eagles 48-7 overall. Hannah Gartner had five stops for Bowdoin.
Both teams play on Saturday, October 12, with Husson traveling to Lasell for a 1:00 PM game and Bowdoin hosting Hamilton at 11:00 AM.

Specifically, the People's Bank of China's move to devalue the yuan, which has now declined 3% against the US dollar, against which it remains pegged.
This move has led to a lot of hand-wringing about "what it means."
In a note to clients on Friday, Peter Tchir at Brean Capital joins the former camp, not so much because of China's move itself but because of what it does to the broader situation in global markets.
Tchir writes that with this move China has "added a new, large and unexpected variable to the global economic and markets."
Evoking the Donald Rumsfeld quote about "known unknowns," Tchir adds that the PBOC's move is known, while the side effects are unknown, writing: "We definitively KNOW that China has embarked on an aggressive policy of devaluation ... what is UNKNOWN, at least to me, is the ultimate impact of this and what it reveals."
And so any way you hack up, this move and its implications add more variable to markets that are a "complex system that is likely to have unintended and unexpected consequences that are far from obvious."
In a note earlier this week, a colleague of Tchir's at Brean Capital, Russ Certo, also wrote about the "complex linkages" that have appeared in markets of late, particularly as it relates to the big price swings we have seen in commodities.
On Friday, oil prices were little changed near a six-year low, stocks in the US were doing nothing, and the market as a whole in some sense seems to have moved on from the news of just a few days ago out of China.
But that's all we know.

Polling stations are open in Pakistan for a general election, which promises to be a close-run affair, between cricket player turned anti-corruption crusader Imran Khan and the party of jailed former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. The vote was marred by allegations of army meddling in the campaign to boost Khan’s chances.
Women cast their votes for the first time in the history of Upper Dir as polls opened across the country Wednesday. Queues of women could be seen outside the polling stations in constituencies NA-5 and PK-12. The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had earlier said that any area where women are stopped from or face hindrances in voting could face the election in its constituency becoming invalid.
They ECP said the results of any constituency would be declared invalid should the female turnout be lower than 10 per cent. Any person found involved in or facilitating such a deal may face up to three years in prison.
A PTI worker is shot dead after ANP and PTI workers clash in Swabi’s PK-47 constituency. At least two persons — wounded in the incident — were shifted to the hospital, District Police Officer Syed Khalid Hamdani said.
PTI leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi spoke to the media after casting his vote in Multan. The politician said that the political climate that developed by last night suggests that PTI will clean sweep all six seats from Multan. “The pattern I have seen so far, the camps, the deployed army, and the discipline, it all looks on point,” he observed, adding that the Election Commission ‘has acted responsibly.’
Pakistan’s nearly 106 million registered voters have a chance to choose their representatives in the national and provincial assemblies — as well as their next prime minister — as the country goes for its 11th General Election on July 25.
Polling began at 8AM and will conclude, without any break, at 6PM across the country’s 85,307 polling stations, of which 17,007 have been declared “highly sensitive”, results will be announced within 24 hours.
As many as 12,570 candidates are contesting for a total of 849 seats of national and provincial assemblies in the general election.According to the Election Commission of Pakistan, 3,459 candidates are contesting for 272 general seats of the National Assembly, while 8,396 candidates are running for 577 general seats of the four provincial assemblies – Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
More than 30 political parties have fielded their candidates for the elections. The opposition Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, led by cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan, is looking to unseat the incumbent Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), which was formally led by the now jailed ex-prime minister Nawaz Sharif.
The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), led by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, is also in the race. Shahbaz Sharif, the president of the PML-N who is hoping to become the next prime minister of Pakistan, was among the first people to cast his vote in Lahore.
“Just cast my vote. High time that all of you came out to vote for Pakistan’s progress and prosperity. May this election be a source of peace and stability for the nation!,” he tweeted after casting his vote.
For a smooth polling process, the ECP has deployed around 1.6 million staff at polling stations across the country. About 449,465 policemen and over 370,000 military personnel have been deployed for security. In a special message yesterday, Chief Election Commissioner Justice (retd) Sardar Raza Khan urged voters to fulfil their national duty of casting the ballot.
A public holiday has been declared across the country on Wednesday in order to facilitate the voting process. Pakistan’s National Assembly comprises a total of 342 members, of which 272 will be directly elected today whereas the rest — 60 seats reserved for women and 10 for religious minorities — are selected later through proportional representation among parties with more than five per cent of the vote.
A party can only form the government if it manages to clinch 172 seats in total. The run up to the elections have seen a massive crackdown on the media and allegations that the military has secretly backed the campaign of Khan while targeting his political opponents.

kTC is working with a major space system prime on several DoD and other government satellite programs. kTC's encapsulated APG thermal doublers have been qualified and designed into these programs. Although, the configuration of these systems are established, there are future opportunities to integrate the proposed technology (if successful) on future builds whereas new technologies are added during the planned "tech refresh" activities.
The Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIS), NASA GSFC instrument will form a part of the instrument compliment on the LANDSAT Data Continuity Mission. There are many bonded-on heat pipes in the current configuration. The proposed technology would, if fully developed and qualified, offer design simplicity, performance gains, and weight savings for this application. kTC is also working with NASA and NASA contractors for use of the proposed technology as part of the Constellation Program.

The New York Police Department this week issued new social media guidelines, outlining in detail what its officers can and cannot post on Facebook, Twitter, and other sites. As the New York Daily News reports, the three-page internal memo was published Monday, forcing many of the department's 35,000 officers to revise and edit their various social media profiles.
Until now, officers were allowed to use social media with relatively free reign; many openly identified themselves as NYPD employees, and posted photos of themselves in uniform. Under the new guidelines, though, officers are "urged not to disclose or allude to their status," as doing so could "undermine their credibility" and make them ineligible for more secretive positions.
"exercise good judgement and demonstrate professionalism."
The rules also warn officers against tagging photos of their colleagues, though they are allowed to post photos taken at police ceremonies. Among the edict's more obvious provisions is a stipulation that prohibits officers from posting photos of crime scenes, or information about witnesses. Police are prohibited from engaging with witnesses or defense lawyers on social media sites, and cannot friend or follow minors. Violating any of these rules, the NYPD says, could result in disciplinary action or termination.
"Members of the service utilizing personal social media sites are to exercise good judgement and demonstrate the same degree of professionalism expected of them while performing their official duties," the order reads.
This week's move comes more than a year after the NYPD disciplined 17 officers over offensive comments posted to a Facebook page called "No More West Indian Day Detail." On the page, some commenters referred to participants in the West Indian American Day parade as "savages" and "animals." The New York Fire Department also came under scrutiny last week, when it disciplined two employees over racist tweets. The NYFD tells the Daily News that it's currently reviewing its guidelines to incorporate rules on social media.
While some have expressed concern over the guidelines' broad scope, Edward Mullins, head of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, openly supported the NYPD's move. "We have to be held to a higher standard," Mullins told the Daily News.

An Ohio man escaped the sexual advances of his girlfriend by locking himself in a hot car on Thursday. He was soon after arrested for his efforts.
Warren Police charged Khrystian Collins, 24, with domestic violence, trespass, obstructing official business and resisting arrest, NBC-affiliate WFMJ reported.
A 24-year-old woman called officers to her home on Thursday after Collins locked himself inside her Kia Optima and refused to come out, according to a police report.

Through a cracked window, Collins told the first officer to respond to the scene that he was hiding out from his sex-crazed girlfriend and that her apartment was too hot.
Collins’ girlfriend confirmed his account, telling police he ran out of her residence because he didn’t want to have sex, according to the report. His girlfriend also told police that Collins threatened to hit her.
Eventually, more officers arrived at the scene and were able to pull a resisting Collins out of the vehicle. At one point, Collins rolled the window up on an officer that was reaching inside to try to unlock the car’s door.
During an arraignment in municipal court on Friday, Collins pled not guilty to the pending charges against him. He faces another court hearing sometime in September.

According to government data, women are the primary targets of domestic violence, and the #MeToo movement has drawn renewed attention to the ways that men oppress and abuse women. However, a large number of men face domestic violence, too, and their experiences are often dismissed. In the United States, one in seven adult men have endured “severe” domestic violence, according to the National Domestic Violence Hotline.

MINOT, N.D. - Walking your dog can be hard if he or she keeps pulling, and it could end up hurting your dog if matters get worse, however, in this week's don't buy it, until we try it, Stephanie Rank tests out a product that claims to be the solution - the instant trainer leash.
Walking your dog should be an enjoyable experience for you and your dog, but sometimes if your dog pulls it makes harder and could cause your dog pain. That's where the Instant-trainer leash comes in, it claims to use gentle but firm resistance to discourage your dog from pulling and as Always I wanted to see if it was true, so I headed over to the Souris Valley Animal Shelter to test it out ,and we found our best candidate.
"Evie is a bit resistant to leashes anyway," said Randy McDonald, the Director of the Souris Valley Animal Shelter.
The leash came with six simple instructions, it can attach to any collar and wraps around the mid-section of the dog and not the neck.
"I have dogs that are stubborn at home and then they will continue to pull and its hard on their throat, hard on their airway, its hard on their vocal area so and then you could end up hurting them real good if you pull it the wrong way. So this focuses on a different area and tries to change the pulling area away from the throat into a less harmful area," said McDonald.
After getting Evie set up, it was time for a walk and so far it was all good.
"If you had a dog that was pulling it seems like you'd be able to control the pulling a little bit better," said McDonald.
However, we learned that Evie has a hip problem, so the pulling around her hips gave her some discomfort.
"My overall opinion is if you got a healthy dog that pulls, i think this would be a beneficial tool but if you have a dog with an injury or maybe slightly older maybe this isn’t the best tool for that dog," said McDonald.
But the leash still got a paws up.
"I think I’m thumbs up if the dog is healthy, I think I'm thumbs down if the dog has an injury to the rear area," said McDonald.
Evie is currently pending adoption, but there are plenty of great dogs at the shelter that need homes. For more information, visit the Souris Valley Animal Shelter's website.

Review: Becoming Abigail by Chris Abani
In a raw and luminous voice, Chris Abani's novella "Becoming Abigail" is the story of a young Nigerian woman whisked away to London by her Uncle and sold into prostitution. The scene's in this novella are very graphic and Mr. Abani takes us into Abigail's world of grief and betrayal. I don't want to give too much away, since this is a book to be savored despite it's wrenching narrative. Nothing short but memorable.

Afghan Women Celebrate New Year’s By Removing Burqas
The Feminist Majority Foundation independently confirmed initial reports that Afghan women in Kabul greeted the (lunar calendar) New Year’s holiday by removing their burqas and participating in public celebration. For the first time in many years, women were able to don brightly colored clothes and move freely in the sun. The Washington Post foreign service further stated that "a spirit of religious, seasonal and political renewal filled the streets." Chairman of the interim government, Hamid Karzai, spoke in Mazar-e Sharif, saying that Afghanistan "is moving toward peace, civilization and enlightenment."

Sooooo in the meantime I've been working on some little baby cards by using some more owls... I decided to shrink the owls from my last post to smaller versions to fit on my cards...and voila... underneath are the results ;-)
The owls are adhered with some 3d foam to let them 'pop' a little more off the cards. For this girly card I added some Tulip Puffy paint dots to the Heidi Swapp chipboard letters..
The baby boy card is kinda like the girly card... but instead of Puffy pant I added some Doodlebug white glitters to the chipboard letters. Both cards are made with some left-over scraps of design paper.
The little 'holes' on the borders of the cards are made with my sewing machine without thread. Oh..and did I mention earlier that I'm obsessed with everything that shines and glitters?? hahahah!!!
Thanks again for stopping by!! Have an amazing weekend everybody!

If you've ever considered learning about the process of soapmaking, this is definitely the book to get. It has SO much information from every basic you need to know to create a basic bar, to ideas for cool designs once you get the basics mastered. There are also gorgeous, brilliant photographs to show you every step of the way.
Some things I learned:
1) Choose heat-resistant glass over wooden tools because wooden tools degrade over time and eventually can splinter into the soap. I hadn't even thought of that, but lye is much less forgiving for your tools so it makes perfect sense. Whatever you do, don't use aluminum, unless you enjoy creating poisonous gases.
2) There is so much more chemistry involved than I realized.
3) Saponification is a word. Different oils have different saponification values. It's a whole thing.
4) Faiola explains what all kinds of various ingredients will do from adding moisture to color to texture to scent to lather. She explains the properties of clay, colloidal oatmeal, sustainable palm oil, avacado oil, cocoa butter, macadamia nut oil, hempseed oil, coffee grounds, animal fat, honey, herbal extracts, pigments and oxides, nettle leaf powder - it was almost overwhelming how many ingredients you could choose - but in a good way! Such good information to help you create many various soaps.
5) There is a whole section for designing your own soaps. She also includes safety warnings - things NOT to include. Very good info to have.
The best part is that Faiola includes RECIPES. Try your hand at tried and true versions before going your own way.
I recommend purchasing the print version of this book. You'll definitely want to be able to have it open before you to reference through the process.
Overall, this is just a really phenomenal book and I want it in print so I can really take my time and go over every detail and get all sorts of super crafty!!!
|Or I really hope to be.|

Gabrielle Douglas of Team USA competes in the women's asymmetric bars final during the London 2012 Olympic Games (Photo : Reuters)
Spoiler Alert: Article contains results of gymnastics' uneven bars.
The Flying Squirrel is looking to have a third gold medal placed around her neck as she sets to conquer the uneven bars today. Gabby Douglas has so far won gold medals at the Individual All-Around Final and the Women's Team Final, but for the Uneven Bars Final, the results were different than expected.
Like Us on Facebook
The 16-year-old from Newport News landed in eighth place - last. Russia's Aliya Mustafina won the gold with a score of 16.133. China's Kexin He and Great Britain's Elizabeth Tweddle landed in second and third, respectively.
The win for Russian's Mustafina can be considered as a Russian fairytale as she arrives to the London Olympics after suffering an ACL injury at the European championships in 2011. Mustafina will leave the London winning gold, silver in the team competition, and a bronze in the all-around.
"I made a little mistake and I paid for it," said Douglas to The Associated Press. "I think toward the end of the Olympics you get mentally and physically tired, just like drained. I try to fight through as much as I can."
Douglas' opportunity for another gold isn't over as she is set to compete on the gymnastics beam on Tues., Aug. 7 at 9:46 a.m. EDT, with fellow American Alexandra Raisman. The beam event will be the Flying Squirrel's last performance at the London Olympics.
According to her mother, Natalie Hawkins, post-2012 Olympic plans include the family moving to West Des Moines for Douglas to further train ahead of the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics.
Douglas' performance on the uneven bard will be broadcasted tonight during NBC's primetime coverage.

Trump to send Pelosi letter demanding House vote on impeachment
Good morning and welcome to Fox News First. Here's what you need to know as you start your day ...
Trump to send Pelosi a letter 'daring' her to hold impeachment inquiry vote
The White House will send House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., a letter on Friday "daring" her to hold a vote on Democrats' impeachment inquiry into President Trump, Fox News has confirmed. The letter will say the White House won't comply with the Democrats' investigation because Pelosi hasn't codified the probe with a formal vote on the House floor. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., sent a similar letter to Pelosi on Thursday, taking issue with reports that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., was limiting Republicans' ability to ask questions during Thursday’s testimony by former U.S. envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker, who resigned last week. Pelosi shot back at McCarthy, saying that "existing rules of the House provide House committees with full authority to conduct investigations for all matters under their jurisdiction." Speaking to ABC's "Good Morning America" Thursday, Pelosi defended Schiff, who was criticized for reading a "parody" of President Trump's call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Congress, stating "He did not make it up."

Documents heighten scrutiny on Biden-Ukraine dealings, indicate Hunter Biden may have made ‘millions’
A batch of newly released documents, including court filings as well as notes from interviews conducted by Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, raised more questions about how much money former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter made while serving on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas firm at the center of the controversy, with one estimate putting the figure in the "millions." Among the documents, as Fox News reported Wednesday, are notes from an interview Trump attorney Giuliani conducted with fired Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin earlier this year, in which he claimed he was told by former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey R. Pyatt to back off an investigation involving that firm, Burisma Holdings, and its founder. According to interview notes, Shokin claimed Pyatt -- currently the ambassador to Greece -- told him to handle that investigation "with white gloves." Shokin said his "investigations stopped out of fear of the United States." Click here for more on this story.
In other developments in the formal Trump impeachment inquiry: Republican lawmakers who were present at ex-Ukraine envoy Kurt Volker’s closed-door marathon interview before three House committees on Thursday seemed confident it disproved any allegations of a "quid pro quo" in the impeachment inquiry of President Trump, as sources told Fox News that Volker was worried about the reliability of the Ukrainian prosecutor informing Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani. Volker did not think Victor Shokin, the prosecutor investigating Ukrainian firm Burisma -- on which Hunter Biden held a board seat -- was reliable when he told Giuliani that he was told to back off of the investigation at then-Vice President Joe Biden's behest, which is why he worried what Giuliani might try to do with Shokin's claims, according to sources familiar with the testimony. Text messages obtained by Fox News showed Volker and other U.S. officials battling internally over whether Trump was engaged in a quid pro quo with Ukraine as he pressed the country to look into the Biden family, reportedly using $400 million in military aid as leverage during a July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to induce him to have officials investigate the Bidens.
Chinese woman caught at Mar-a-Lago with malware was apparently asked to target Clintons: docs
A Chinese businesswoman who was convicted of trespassing at President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida earlier this year had been urged by her handler to target other famous figures including the Clintons and billionaire businessman Warren Buffett, court documents say. Yujing Zhang, 33, who is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 22, was caught by Secret Service agents with troves of technology embedded with malware and thousands of dollars in cash after she claimed that she was at Trump's prestigious club to attend a "United Nations friendship event" that had apparently been canceled. Her bizarre behavior and backstory led to suspicions that she was a Chinese government spy, but she was not charged with espionage or related crimes.
Zhang apparently purchased a $20,000 travel package from Li Weitian, also known as Charles Lee, who advertised tickets on the Chinese social media site WeChat promising access to events across the U.S. to meet prominent political and business figures. Upon learning that the event at Mar-a-Lago had been canceled, Lee tried to convince Zhang to attend another event on Wall Street in New York City, text messages between the pair released by the South Florida court Thursday revealed. Bill and Hillary Clinton were scheduled to be there. Click here for more on this story.
Environmental protesters spray UK's Treasury building with fake blood, four arrested
British police arrested four members of the climate activist group Extinction Rebellion on Thursday after they used a fire hose to spray the U.K.’s Treasury building with hundreds of gallons of fake blood. The group said it carried out the protest because it wanted to raise awareness of the "inconsistency between the U.K. government's insistence that the U.K. is a world leader in tackling climate breakdown while pouring vast sums of money into fossil exploration and carbon-intensive projects," according to Sky News. Organizers said they sprayed 1,800 liters of red liquid colored with food dye at the Treasury building, yet most of it appeared to have ended up on the street and sidewalk, Sky News reports. At another point, the protesters lost control of the decommissioned fire engine’s hose, it added. Click here for more on this story.
De Niro drops more F-bombs, this time in audio linked to harassment lawsuit
A former employee at Robert De Niro’s production company slammed "The Irishman" actor with a federal lawsuit Thursday, claiming he harassed her and discriminated against her for being a woman – then retaliated against her when she told him of her plans to take legal action, according to bombshell court papers. In one example, De Niro allegedly went ballistic on the woman, calling her a "spoiled brat" in an explicit voicemail when she did not answer his phone call, according to the suit. "How dare you f------ disrespect me?," he said in the voicemail, in which he also told her: "You’re f------ history." Last Sunday, De Niro startled CNN and its viewers when he used profanity during a live on-air interview.

Copyright Reform? You’re silly.
Amazingly, the Republican Study Committee (RSC) had released a report suggesting copyright reform. Of course, that’s a silly thing to do when you’re in bed with organizations like the MPAA and RIAA; the report was quickly retracted.
It would have been a surprising step forward; maybe there’s hope yet, assuming the GOP can get a handle on itself.

Polo is a team game played on a field with one goal for each team. The object is to propel an object through or into the goal. In this is it similar to many sports such as Football and both forms of Hockey. The main difference is that the players play on horseback, or in the water, but rarely both.
See also Polocrosse for another game played on horseback.
