PHNOM PENH - The recent execution of four democracy activists in Myanmar has presented a challenge to ASEAN and to the effectiveness of its Chair, currently Cambodia.
The regional bloc had faced criticism even before its pleas for a halt to the executions were ignored by the Myanmar military regime.
Myanmar state media said on July 25 the executions of Kyaw Min Yu, known as Ko Jimmy, lawmaker Phyo Zeya Thaw, Hla Myo Aung and Aung Thura Zaw had been carried out but gave no details.
Heng Kim Kong, a visiting senior research fellow at the Cambodia Development Center, said the executions showed that ASEAN and Cambodia as Chair had little leverage on Myanmar.
Myanmar appeared unwilling to compromise and comply with ASEAN’s Five-Point Consensus on resolving the crisis
“This makes it hard for Cambodia as Chair to facilitate the process of returning the country to normal,” he said.
“This is the first visible failure of Cambodia’s ASEAN Chairmanship,” he said.
ASEAN needed to re-emphasize its deep concern on the recent developments, put more pressure on the junta and lobby relevant parties and organizations to introduce measures that discourage the country’s unwillingness to cooperate.
Kim Kong said Cambodia had done a good job, given its constructive engagement with Myanmar. But the Kingdom needed a new approach to address the Myanmar crisis despite having less than six months of its term left.
While maintaining the Five-Point Consensus, new measures were essential to force Myanmar to comply with the bloc’s decisions.
“We do not need a permanent special envoy. It should rotate according to the ASEAN chairmanship. This gives opportunities to other ASEAN states to try to solve the crisis. When one approach does not work, the another might.”
Delivering his closing remarks at the World Economic Forum 2022 in May, Prime Minister Hun Sen said Cambodia held some hot potatoes as ASEAN Chair. One of these was the Myanmar crisis.
Hun Sen visited Myanmar to meet the junta leaders and their administration a week after taking on the Chair position. He also held two meetings with junta leader Min Aung Hlaing in a virtual format.
As Special Envoy to Myanmar, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Prak Sokhonn paid two official visits, one in March and the other in early July.
In the six months since Cambodia took over the position, it has borne criticism from the region and some in the international community for its approach to resolving Myanmar's political crisis.
Malaysian Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah said some ASEAN members feared that Hun Sen’s visit to Myanmar could be seen as legitimising the coup.
Hun Sen had the right to visit Myanmar as Cambodian leader but could have consulted other ASEAN leaders about what he should do if he were to go to Myanmar, Abdullah said.

NEW ALBUM: @WileyUpdates - Godfather
After originally being intended for September 2016, we have finally been blessed with Wiley's 11th and last studio album 'Godfather'. It's been just over 2 years since we received his last studio album 'Snakes & Ladders' which was released on the 'Big Dada' label, this time round Wiley has kept it independent and brought it all the way back to his roots...the Grime scene.
For me, 'Godfather' shows Wiley's journey and progression as an artist, from being a pioneer for the scene when it was so raw, and on a national level it was 'socially unacceptable', to working with major labels and drifting away from the scene at times, and now he has come back and showed everyone why he is the 'Godfather of Grime'. A label which he attempted to steer away from for so long, and refused to accept. In a recent interview with his long time friend DJ Target for the BBC he finally admitted that he is the 'Godfather' of the scene that has risen to success over the past few years. I definitely recommend you give the interview a listen at the link below, an iconic and memorable interview for two friends who have grown together and come up together, to discuss such a legendary moment, and journey.
Click the image to be redirected to the BBC Radio 1xtra interview with DJ Target and Wiley
We were treated to 3 exclusive tracks from that interview, but at midnight today the full album dropped and is available to stream and purchase from all digital outlets, and hard copies are available in stores nationwide. This iconic album consists of a number of features, but they aren't just any normal features. We see artists who have travelled on this long and hard journey jump on tracks which makes it so much more legendary. 'Godfather' is a milestone in the Grime scene, and it is now ready to be taken to the next level. Wiley has delivered a full 17 track project which has confirmed his title as the 'Godfather' and it was the one thing that was missing from the scene, with all the success that underground UK artists saw in 2016, we step into 2017 and have been given one of the greatest albums to come from the underground scene. It is now time to level up and achieve more greatness.
The Eski boy himself released a number of singles for the album and also gave us visuals for some of these releases. To drop 6 singles from an album would leave most artists with very little material left to bring to the table, but not Wiley...6 tracks was not even half of his album.
A very wise move to start bringing material and promoting the album from last September. Everybody has been talking about this album, and when frustration kicked in and we were eager to hear it, he calmed us down and dropped another visual. And now we have the full project. Personally, I am glad we waited so long. The 'Godfather' album needed to be fully absorbed by the people so we could appreciate the grind and the doors that Wiley and his Grime family have broken down. Yes, greatness was achieved last year, but if you love the culture and the scene you will know that the movement had not 100% maxed out until we received this album. Wiley has now set up the remainder of 2017 for every creative from the UK to keep it moving and carry on progressing.
1. Birds n Bars
2. Bring Them All / Holy Grime (feat. Devlin)
3. Name Brand (feat. JME, Frisco & J2K)
5. Back With a Banger
6. Joe Bloggs (feat. Newham Generals & President T)
7. Pattern Up Properly (feat. Flowdan & Jamakabi)
8. Can't Go Wrong
9. Bang (feat. Ghetts)
10. U Were Always, Pt. 2 (feat. Skepta & Belly)
11. On This (feat. Chip, Ice Kid & Little D)
12. Bait Face (feat. Scratchy)
13. My Direction (feat. Lethal Bizzle)
14. Like It Or Not (feat. Breeze)
16. Laptop (feat. Manga)
17. P Money Remix (feat. P Money) [Bonus]
A very powerful tracklist, full of artists who deserve the recognition from the grime scene blow up, some names are people he grew with and helped pioneered the scene, some are younger heads like Chip and JME, Not that age contributes anything. Despite them being young and having years ahead of them yet, they are two names who have been around from the early days. In the recent interview with Target, Wiley says how he has learned from Chip and has the upmost respect for him.
One major factor which makes this album so great is the chemistry amongst everyone involved with the creation. The beats we hear range from the raw Eski style, to more relaxed beats, but every artist featuring has been carefully selected to suit that beat. We here Skepta and Belly come very calm and relaxed on 'U Were Always, Pt 2' and then you see Flowdan and Jamakabi come through with some powerful and direct bars on the raw beat for 'Pattern Up Properly'.
Out of the tracks that we hadn't already heard prior to the release, in my opinion, the best track on the album has to be between 'On This' and 'Joe Bloggs', two very powerful tracks and they really define the legacy behind 'Godfather', Wiley as an artist, and the grime scene in general. From the beats, to the bars, to the features on the track. These two carry a lot of power in the sound and the message behind the project.
This may be the last album, but the legacy will live on, and after his interview with NME, he stayed at the location to shoot a video for a track that does not feature on the album. So, this tells me that he's not quite done with Grime...not just yet.

Incus, an Austrian 3D printing company, was founded at the end of 2019 around a unique metal additive manufacturing technology, called Lithography-based Metal Manufacturing (LMM). The techology is based on the principle of photopolymerization, where three dimensional parts are produced by selective solidification through exposure to a light source in a layerwise manner. The fundation of this technique lies in the well-established stereolithography process, which was in 2006 adapted for ceramic materials, at the Technical University of Vienna. In 2015 this approach was further developed to process metal particles dispersed in a light-sensitive resin to produce metal parts and shortly after LMM was born.
Located in Vienna, home to a rapid expanding and developing 3D printing hub, consisting of numerous AM companies, Incus thrives to bring metal AM to the next level. Our technology allows the production of metallic parts with unmatched precison and surface aethstetics. Consistency in achieved part quality on the one hand and flexiblity and design freedom on the other are key values of our LMM process. Incus provides an all-in-one solution of different 3D printer types as well as a wide range of available printing materials that satisfy all requirements.
Furthermore, Incus is commited to reducing raw material consumption and making a significant contibution to sustainable and resource-saving prodcution on both laboratory and industrial scale. Hence, over 99% of the raw material can be recycled multiple times without any loss in achieved results and quality.

InComm: Gift Cards Hot for Holiday Season (Dec. 9, 2015)
Consumers are hot for gift cards this holiday, but more are turning to online and mobile channels to purchase virtual and physical cards, new data from InComm show. Of the 500 respondents surveyed in a recent study, 89 percent purchase two or more digital or physical gift cards by online or mobile means annually, while 94 percent said they intend to purchase two or more digital or physical gift cards via online or mobile this holiday season. Of those planning to buy gift cards from a digital channel this holiday, 23 percent plan to purchase five or more cards, while 41 percent of respondents who have purchased gift cards through Websites or apps buy five to 10 cards annually.
Meanwhile, e-gift cards themselves continue to soar in popularity—especially among younger consumers. Eighty-four percent of respondents ages 18 to 25 said they’re likely to purchase at least one digital gift card this holiday season, while nearly 90 percent of that demographic reported being more interested in purchasing digital gifts now than they were two to three years ago. Of all respondents who have purchased a gift card online or via mobile, 32 percent bought a digital card, 29 percent bought a physical card and the majority—39 percent—bought both. Another key trend identified in the survey was the popularity of purchasing gift cards for self-use; 96 percent of all respondents said they’re interested in purchasing and storing digital gift cards on their phones to redeem themselves.
The survey results are the latest indication of the continued popularity of electronic and physical gift cards, and make clear the opportunity gifting presents for merchants to drive purchasing and shopping traffic in stores and online, InComm said.

Assuming it was Assad's forces that used the nerve gas. Which it probably was. People in Khan Sheikhoun told the Guardian and other papers that the nerve gas was dropped from a plane and the rebels don't have planes. Pictures show a crater in the road where the missile apparently landed.
Steve Bryen is a former senior Pentagon official and fighter pilot with a lot of working knowledge of the Syrian forces. His theory, set out in the Asia Times, is that Assad used chemical weapons deliberately in order to make Trump and Putin fall out and thus prevent them making a deal that involved regime change.
It sounds far-fetched, I know, but it makes as much sense as any other explanation. It's no odder than Assad releasing large numbers of Islamist fighters from prison in order to strengthen the jihadis, as he did a few years ago.
According to the mainstream media – that has been wrong about almost everything for a solid 18 months in a row – the Syrian government allegedly bombed its own people with a nerve agent. The reason the Assad government would bomb its own people with a nerve agent right now is obvious. Syrian President Assad – who has been fighting for his life for several years, and is only lately feeling safer – suddenly decided to commit suicide-by-Trump.Scott Adams thinks Trump gains from the risk-free military action, whether the war crime happened or was fake, and doubts it will lead to a US decision to achieve regime change. I hope he's right but that's not what the American administration has been saying today.
Peter Hitchens thinks the jury is still out.
Scott Ritter thinks it is a put up job by the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda, Al Nusra which he thinks made and used the sarin used in the 2013 chemical attack on Ghouta which almost led Obama to intervene. He prefers the Russian story that a Syrian bomb exploding on the store of sarin could have led to chemical event. But he does not explain how. We saw a picture of a bomb crater in the road. And sarin is destroyed if a bomb explodes. So this does not make sense.
He does point out that the White Helmets and the rebels have a lot of experience in successfully manipulating and lying to the Western media. This is true.
Many of the fighters affiliated with Tahrir al-Sham are veterans of the battle for Aleppo, and as such are intimately familiar with the tools and trade of the extensive propaganda battle that was waged simultaneously with the actual fighting in an effort to sway western public opinion toward adopting a more aggressive stance in opposition to the Syrian government of Assad. These tools were brought to bear in promoting a counter-narrative about the Khan Sheikhoun chemical incident (ironically, many of the activists in question, including the “White Helmets,” were trained and equipped in social media manipulation tactics using money provided by the United States; that these techniques would end up being used to manipulate an American President into carrying out an act of war most likely never factored into the thinking of the State Department personnel who conceived and implemented the program).
I am not convinced. I am sure that James Matthis believes that the Syrian forces are to blame and I think he ought to know. What the Syrian government using chemical weapons against Syrian rebels has to do with American interests is another matter. But the last president having drawn a red line, I suppose American prestige is at stake.

"Let's teach them a lesson if they ever show up here," President Jerry Falwell Jr. told students Friday.
The call was met with rousing applause from students, but some said Falwell went too far when he appeared to be referring specifically to Muslims, the News & Advance reported.
"I've always thought if more good people had concealed carry permits, then we could end those Muslims before they walked in," Falwell said.
Questioned by a student on social media, Falwell said he was referring to Islamic extremists.
"I was referring to 'those Muslims' that just carried out attacks in Paris and California," he said in response on Twitter.
Reached later by the newspaper, Falwell said, "There are many good Muslims, many good moderate Muslims."
He did not respond to an email from The Associated Press seeking additional comment.
Falwell said he's decided to carry a gun after recent attacks.

When Irish Eyes Are Voting
Most of the world is focused on the Middle East and Libya, and rightly so. We will look at that in a minute. (Sidebar: the White House spelled the country “Lybia” in a recent tweet. Can you imagine what the liberal media would have done to poor Dan Quail if that tweet was from him? Just saying.) And I agree the Middle East is important. But my eyes are focused on what I think is the far more important event of the day, and that is the election going on in Ireland.
I have written about Ireland before, but we need to once again focus on what are not smiling Irish eyes. Ireland was once the envy of Europe, with one of the highest growth rates in the world. It was not long ago that Ireland could borrow money at lower rates than Germany. Now rates are 6% and likely to rise with the new government. Let’s look at a few data points from a brilliantly written article by Michael Lewis, who ranks as one of my favorite writers. When he writes, I read it just for the education on what great writing should look like, as well as for the always fascinating information. The article is at http://www.vanityfair.com/….
(I am often asked about how you can become a financial writer by young people who are starting out. I have just two suggestions. Write a lot and then write some more. Writing is no different than the piano or guitar. It takes a lot of practice, and then more practice. You don’t start playing concerts on day one, and your writing won’t be worth much either, but you will get better. Second, study the great writers and learn from them. Try to copy the styles of the guys you like for practice. Take the best and make it your own style. Lewis is one of the best.)
• Housing prices in Dublin had risen by 500% since 1994. Rents for homes were often 1% of the price of the home. A $1-million-dollar home went for $833 a month. That is a very clear bubble.
• Irish home prices implied an economic growth rate that would leave Ireland, in 25 years, three times as rich as the United States.
• In 1997 the Irish banks were funded entirely by Irish deposits. By 2005 they were getting most of their money from abroad. The small German savers who ultimately supplied the Irish banks with deposits to re-lend in Ireland could take their money back with the click of a computer mouse. Since 2000, lending to construction and real estate had risen from 8 percent of Irish bank lending (the European norm) to 28 percent. One hundred billion euros — or basically the sum total of all Irish public bank deposits — had been handed over to Irish property developers and speculators. By 2007, Irish banks were lending 40 percent more to property developers than they had to the entire Irish population seven years earlier.
• As the scope of the Irish losses has grown clearer, private investors have been less and less willing to leave even overnight deposits in Irish banks and are completely uninterested in buying longer-term bonds. The European Central Bank has quietly filled the void: one of the most closely watched numbers in Europe has been the amount the ECB has loaned to the Irish banks. In late 2007, when the markets were still suspending disbelief, the banks borrowed 6.5 billion euros. By December of 2008 the number had jumped to 45 billion. As Burton spoke to [Lewis], the number was still rising from a new high of 86 billion. That is, the Irish banks have borrowed 86 billion euros from the European Central Bank to repay private creditors. In September 2010 the last big chunk of money the Irish banks owed the bondholders, 26 billion euros, came due. Once the bondholders were paid off in full, a window of opportunity for the Irish government closed. A default of the banks now would be a default not to private investors but a bill presented directly to European governments.
• A political investigative blog called Guido Fawkes somehow obtained a list of the Anglo Irish foreign bondholders: German banks, French banks, German investment funds, Goldman Sachs. (Yes! Even the Irish did their bit for Goldman.)
• [And this is the kicker!] “Googling things, Kelly learned that more than a fifth of the Irish workforce was employed building houses. The Irish construction industry had swollen to become nearly a quarter of the country’s G.D.P. — compared with less than 10 percent in a normal economy — and Ireland was building half as many new houses a year as the United Kingdom, which had almost 15 times as many people to house.” [That makes the US housing bubble look small by comparison.]
• And just for fun: “A few months after the spell was broken, the short-term parking-lot attendants at Dublin Airport noticed that their daily take had fallen. The lot appeared full; they couldn’t understand it. Then they noticed the cars never changed. They phoned the Dublin police, who in turn traced the cars to Polish construction workers, who had bought them with money borrowed from Irish banks. The migrant workers had ditched the cars and gone home. Rumor has it that a few months later the Bank of Ireland sent three collectors to Poland to see what they could get back, but they had no luck. The Poles were untraceable: but for their cars in the short-term parking lot, they might never have existed.”
Now, let’s turn to that repository of all things leftist, the UK Guardian, as they write about today’s elections.
An Extra “15 Million” Homes
“Though the campaign has shed disappointingly little light on realistic options ahead, the financial numbers are scary. After 2000 the early Celtic Tiger years became a property-led speculative bubble, made worse by weak planning laws and 300,000 too many new homes. The crash saw GDP collapse by 11%, unemployment triple to 13.3% and government debt quadruple to 95%, which will rise to 125% by 2014 on IMF estimates.”
Let’s think about that for a moment and compare it to the US. We built somewhere between 2 and 3 million too many homes in our bubble, depending on whom you ask. Total Irish population (including Northern Ireland) is 6 million people. If the US had built the same number of excess homes, there would have been 15 million of them! And the banks just kept lending!
Irish taxpayers are being asked to pay French, German, and British bond banks and the ECB, which bought that debt. It is 30% of their GDP, along with the rest of the debt. At 6% interest, that means it will take 10% of their national income just to pay the interest. It guarantees that Ireland will be in a poverty cycle for decades. The ECB and the IMF seem to think the solution for too much debt is more debt. And in order to pay the ECB, the Irish must take on an austerity program that guarantees even worse recessions and higher unemployment.
The government that agreed to take on the bank debts is going to be voted out in spectacular fashion today. Whether one party can win or has to form a coalition government is not yet clear, but the mandate is to renegotiate the Irish debt. Both the ECB and the Germans have said that is not possible, that deals have been made. But asking Irish voters, you don’t get the sense they feel the same obligation.
Even the venerable Martin Wolf of the Financial Times agrees. Writing last week:
“So what might a new government seek to do? Its degrees of freedom are, alas, limited. Even excluding recapitalisation of the banks, the primary fiscal deficit (before interest payments) was close to 10 per cent of GDP last year. Under the IMF programme, this is to be turned into a surplus of 1.5 per cent of GDP by 2015. Given the lack of access to private markets, the deficit would have to be eliminated even more quickly without the official assistance. Again, the debt overhang would be huge, under any plausible assumptions. Ireland is doomed to fiscal stringency for decades, given its poor growth prospects, at least in comparison with its Tiger years.
“Apart from the Armageddon of a sovereign default, two partial escapes exist. The more trivial would be a reduction in the rate of interest on Ireland’s borrowing: a 1 per cent reduction in the rate of interest would save the state 0.4 per cent of GDP a year. That would be a small help, at least. A more valuable possibility would be a writedown of existing subordinated and senior bank debt, which currently amounts to €21.4bn (14 per cent of GDP).
“The ECB and the other members of the European Union have vetoed this idea, fearful of contagion. Indeed, the assistance package was partly to prevent just such an outcome. Yet the idea that taxpayers should bail out senior creditors of massively insolvent banks at such risk to the solvency of their state is both unfair and unreasonable. If the rest of the EU is determined to protect senior creditors, it should surely share in the cost of doing so. Why should the taxpayers of the borrowing country pay all? The new Irish government should make this point firmly.” (http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/436234b8-3ebb-11e0-834e-00144feabdc0.html#ixzz1F1aZpM1L)
There are a significant number of Irish voters who wonder why they should pay any of it. Not the majority (yet), but enough. This is the Maginot Line for the ECB. If they renegotiate with Ireland, then Greece will be at the door in a heartbeat. Ditto for Portugal.
As one story I read about Ireland said, “Parties we go to now are going away parties as people, especially young people, leave for other countries with better opportunities.” The mood of the country will grow more dour.
Look at this chart. Notice how well Iceland did after it simply repudiated its debt. It wasn’t easy, and inflation is brutal, but they are better off than if they had taken on a debt burden that would have made them indentured servants to British taxpayers for decades. The ECB, the IMF, and the rest of the EU is asking Ireland to willingly fall into a lengthy depression. Would walking away from the debt, or restructuring it, be any worse?
What if the opening negotiating line started was, “We will repay the principle, but no interest, and the timeline has to be stretched out over 25 years?” And no payments for five years. Oh, and we have about 300,000 houses you can have as our first payment.
Yes, the Irish would be frozen out of the bond market. It would result in an even more serious recession. But they could actually grow their way out of it over time. A lot faster than if they were trying to pay off the debt at 6-7% interest. And remember that Argentina, for God’s sake, got money just a few years after defaulting – twice, if I remember right! If Ireland got back on a sound footing, they could once again find acceptance in the bond market.
I know, that sounds radical. But give it a few years of austerity and see what the next elections bring. Irish debt will default, not because the Irish don’t have hearts of gold or don’t want to not pay their debts, but because they are under such a burden they can’t. And eventually enough voters will realize that. It may not be next month, or even next year, but it will come. You can only ask so much of a people. Defaulting on sovereign debt is only unthinkable in elite European Union circles. And asking German voters to pay for those defaults? Care to run on THAT platform?
This has the potential to really roil the debt markets, not to mention the interbank markets. The US is doing ok, except that job creation has been slow. A European debt crisis could throw a wrench into the world gears.
And that is the heart of the problem. The Irish really do want to do the right thing. The Greeks, not so much. Portugal? Spain?
The leadership of the EU is living in denial if they think that more debt is the answer to too much debt. It is all well and good for the Germans to tell everyone to cut back (and they should) but to do so means that the countries go into recession and have even less money to pay their debt burdens. They get into a debt spiral and the only way out is restructuring, which is default by a nice name.
Somewhere, sometime, this is all going to end in tears. The EU will be better off restructuring the debt, letting insolvent banks go the way of all flesh, or financing them and letting the euro drop like a stone, which will only make their exporting companies more competitive (not good for the US and China, but we don’t get to vote in the EU). Or they can break up. I think the former is better than the latter, but that’s just me.
The world went crazy with debt. The US, Japan (where I fly to in less than 12 hours), much of Europe, and Great Britain. And now we have to deal with it. Acting like adults would be best, and recognizing that some countries just can’t assume their banking debts is just being realistic. A lot of people made bad choices and now those choices are coming home.
It is all so very sad. People are hurting. I read the blogs in Ireland and it brings tears to me Irish eyes (or the large part of me that is of Irish heritage).
There are no easy answers. No easy button. The only button we have is the reset button, for the Blue Screen of Death. That means pulling the plug and starting over. This time with realistic debt levels and bond markets.
Have a good week! Sayonara for now!
Your trying to figure out how to stay on US time analyst,
John F. Mauldin
I tried to tell people at the doors about this and got nowhere somehow they had their minds made up that Fine Gael was the answer and that getting new faces into power was going to solve the problems of our country .I suppose we are going to have to wait until people realize that the new crew on the “good ship SS Ireland” are just as incompetent as the last crew.
Committing to more debt is not the answer we just can’t pay off this huge private debt and the taxpayers will only face more job losses and social services cuts the honeymoon period will be short and we will be in the divorce courts soon enough mark my words!

From Albert Henderson, _Publishing Research Quarterly_, 70244.1532@CompuServe.COM:
[Received December 18, 1996.]
Two contributions to No. 170 raise the question of value, too often a red herring that has nothing to do with price or price-per-whatever of journals. The value of a journal's content is latent, a potential to be yielded to the appropriate readers. Struggling without sufficient preparation, many researchers engage in useless repetition and random speculation. There are studies of journal articles to support this notion.
On the other hand, Department of Energy research done by Donald King in the 1970s provides ample support for the value of journal articles, reports, and monographs as saving many times the cost of information procurement and readers' time.
Unfortunately no one ever gets back to the librarians with a well-deserved
Christmas Bonus when information saves thousands of research dollars or
stimulates Nobel-prize winning research!
From a librarian who has convinced me of the need to remain anonymous:
[Received December 19, 1996.]
In answer to Peter Boyce, I hope he realizes that, for every complaint about the pricing of the JBC, there are thousands of librarians and scientists that are eternally grateful for the incredible value it has been over the years. If JBC were a crass commercial organization, they could probably charge ten times as much and it would still be competitive.

De Natura Libris
—on the photographs of Álvaro Alejandro López
The catenary separation of spine
from the body (of the bound book).
Moon through the keyhole. (The word moon).
Black mold clings to the pages. The novel
takes on a new character.
As though there, on the book’s opened pages,
the branch’s shadow might outlive the tree.
— Forrest Gander
De Natura Libris is an invitation to delve into the nooks and crannies of the “book” concept as an object and as a score that each reader must build from the creative proposal.
The project relies on the collaboration of different writers who, upon express request, wrote or shared texts. Some authors are: Orhan Pamuk, Jacqueline Woodson, Yann Martel, Ruth Padel, Salman Rushdie, Yan Lianke John Banville, Ana Blandiana, Enrique Vila Matas, Roger Chartier, Cornelia Funke, Forrest Gander, Alberto Manguel and several more.
Photography is a form of relationship with the poiesis of every day. It is a way to conjugate our time with the rhythm of the cloud reader.
Álvaro Alejandro López , Mexico City. Worked in the publishing industry. Recently, he began to exhibit his personal photographic projects. Some have been presented in Mexico, USA, Canada, Spain, Belgium, Iceland, Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands. Selected as one of the winners of the Arte en la Red Casa de América, Madrid, Spain. Received honorable mention at the ND AWARDS
Oscar Wilde argued that only superficial people do not judge by appearances; observing him redeems the observer who, seduced by the casual coupling of two objects, a letter and a page, a hand and a landscape, a book and a body, for example, believes he understands a message, follows a narrative. The beautiful images of Álvaro Alejandro are an elegant mise en abîme because the narration that we think we see is made up of fragments of other narrations...

Hopefully many years aparted
With lots of life lived in between.
And, yet, I look upon families
That live their lives
From the cradle
To the grave
In a few minutes.
The words don’t tell the stories
Of love and happiness –
And the darker times;
They just give dates and places
They don’t often give faces
To the names.
They rarely tell of the games played
The detail of the lives lead.
But, I build a picture of those
That came before
And went before
And are ‘not quite’
When you can’t find your Auntie;
And your Granddad’s gone astray;
And you’ve checked for them in all the cupboards,
Perhaps they’re hidden away;
Waiting for you to find them;
But, ‘not’ among the coats and scarves;
So, if your Great-Great Grandad really can’t be found for all your trying;
Why not see if he’s on Ancestry.co.uk
Do a search with his details
Be they vague and a little unsure;
You might just find him –
And, maybe, his kith and your kin –
It’s a family tree possibility;
So why not seek your antecedents within.

Palestine Papers: "PA Delayed UN Vote On Goldstone Report"
In the latest revelation to come out of the 1,600 Palestine-Israel peace process documents leaked this week by news outlets al-Jazeera and The Guardian, a transcript from 2009 shows that the Palestinian Authority under President Mahmoud Abbas intentionally delayed a vote by the United Nations Human Rights Council on supporting the Goldstone Report on human rights violations by Israel and Hamas during the Israeli invasion of Gaza in 2008-9.
Initially, the UN Human Rights Council had planned to vote to endorse the Goldstone Report in October of 2009, but the newly-leaked document shows that the Palestinian Authority called for the vote to be delayed to 2010, at the urging of the United States.

Press-Telegram (Long Beach)
There is so much pleasure to be found at Beachwood BBQ and Brewing on downtown Long Beach’s 3rd Street Promenade. A menu of very good, even exceptional barbecue, admittedly eaten with non ‘que shack utensils, but with a tray of many sauces, ranging from the sweet and spicy, to the vinegary and spicy, to the just plain hot and spicy. And an assortment of side dishes so good, at moments they make the ribs, the brisket, the pork and the chicken pale by comparison. But then, you take another bite — and who knows which is better? And does it really matter?
And then, there are the housemade Tater Tots, served in a casserole that arguably gilds the lily like crazy, “dusted” with dried porcini mushrooms (with a bit of umami smack), topped with smoked cheese curds and duck gravy, turning it into a Tater Tot Casserole Poutine. (For $5 extra, you can add duck confit.)
These are a world apart from frozen Tater Tots, thick and crunchy, oversized potato statements clearly not purchased at the local market. Turned into a poutine, they’re a bit goofy.
But then, if it’s calorie loading that’s your goal, there are plenty of ways at Beachwood — consider the mac and cheese with bacon, cheddar and (yes!) Velveeta. Or the fried pickles (“Lena’s Famous”), with a chili buttermilk dipping sauce.
If you want to run wild at Beachwood, it’s easy. I had fun with the deviled eggs stuffed with pickled green tomatoes, and the smoke
Until COVID-19 soiled the party, this was Modern Mexican Master Thomas Ortega’s most madcap, rollicking restaurant — just plain fun. And the kitchen is still having a fine time coming up with new school variations on old school dishes. Even the chips and salsa, which are oversized, and actually so good they need to be eaten; this isn’t just filler to keep you busy while you wait for your food.
Since we’re by the water, there’s no surprise that there are several ceviches on the menu — a shrimp model with chunky, firm Mexican shrimp, tossed with pico de gallo, jalapeños, garlic aioli and cotija cheese.
Chef Ortega likes his spice, and he likes his Mexican cheeses, which appear all over the menu. He also likes to have a little (or maybe a lot) of fun with his creations — consider the poutine (a French-Canadian dish) made with Tater Tots (the essence of Americana) flavored with mole negro and lots of cheese. This may be the best poutine ever; certainly, it’s good not to have to face a dish topped with the gloppiest gravy, an industrial ingredient that makes me wonder if I’ll live long enough for the next course.
I like mole, the chocolate and chili sauce that makes eating in Oaxaca just a joy. And apparently so does Chef Ortega. He flavors his mussels with a mole verde “curry” that’s so good, it can be finished off like a soup.
There’s mole on his Oaxacan chicken as well. But for some real fun, check out the “caramel sticky” pork spareribs, with a Moroccan harissa sauce; it’s a culinary carom shot that’s all over the map — and all over your fingers as well. They’re serious about “sticky”!
There’s also a sizable selection of seafood dishes, including a lobster done in the style of Puerto Nuevo, the “Lobster City” on the road to Ensenada; and the classic Pescado zarandeado — a butterflied whole fish flavored with lemon, garlic and smoky chipotle.
There’s a wide assortment of burritos, tacos and enchiladas, for those who can’t live without. And for dessert, there’s Mexican chocolate pudding, tres leches carrot cake and churros with salted caramel. Sit outside, and linger over dessert and maybe a snifter of Hornitos. In Thomas Ortega Land, life is both easy — and delicious. 562-860-2667, www.amorytacos.com
Like Playa Amor, Amor y Tacos is the creation of Thomas Ortega, where he also serves Tots. But not the same Tots as at Playa Amor — this isn’t a chef who likes to duplicate himself. Here, they’re Mole Tots — Tater Tots slathered with the house 21-ingredient mole, along with Mexican queso panela (aka “basket cheese”). It’s ridiculously good, a silly dish that you’ll inhale — along with pile of Nachos Libre, which are nachos made with ground Kobe beef and queso Oaxaca.
And how about the Doritos Chilaquiles? They’re real Doritos chips topped with a sunnyside-up egg and queso fresco. Eating here is an education in Mexican cheeses — and so many flavors.
There’s a hot dog that’s a variation on the fabled Dodger Dog served at the stadium, topped with short rib chile colorado and crispy chicharrones, served on a brioche bun. There are nine tacos on the menu, five of which can be tasted on the Tour de Taco, which includes the short rib taco, a master stroke of life in Tacolandia.
There are also 14 big plates, one of which is Peking duck filtered through a Mexican kitchen, with Korean kimchee added on for good measure. And then, there’s the Mexican CocaCola Glazed Pork Belly, which I expect to be one of the best dishes I eat all year.
For the heck of it, there are sugary churros with salted caramel for dessert. If there’s a game on, you can keep on eating and drinking. Parking in the mall lot is easy and free. Here, it’s all about amor y tacos.

Two and a half men season 7 episode 14
He attacked the show as "filth that contradicts his moral values" and said that he was sick of being a part. 50 he also begged fans to stop watching the show. 50 Producers explained that Jones was not expected back on the set until 2013, as his character was not scheduled to appear in the final two episodes before the winter hiatus. 51 In response to the controversy, sheen issued a public statement claiming that "Jones' outburst isnt an isolated incident but rather a symptom of the toxic environment surrounding the show" and blamed Chuck lorre for the outburst. 52 The following day, jones issued a public apology for his remarks, and explained that he "cannot address everything that has been physalis said or right every misstatement or misunderstanding." 53 Jones left the series at the end of the season and did not appear. 54 The role of youngest family member was filled by Amber Tamblyn, who plays Jenny, the long-lost illegitimate daughter of Charlie harper, and later by Edan Alexander, who plays louis, walden Schmidt's adopted son. On March 18, 2014, Angus. Jones officially announced his departure from the show, stating he had been "a paid hypocrite". 7 nevertheless, he appeared in a cameo in the series finale on February 19, 2015. Other criticism edit The premise of Two and a half Men depicts most of the female regular characters to be abusive toward men, while the female guest characters are female stereotypes. Lee aronsohn has stated that the premise of Two and a half Men was created amidst many other tv series centered around mainly women, which he viewed as a serious problem in television. The exact words he used attracted criticism, with Aronsohn accused of being a misogynist.

Afterward, Charlie's Malibu home would be put up for sale and interested buyers would include celebrities from Lorre's other sitcoms and John Stamos, as well as Kutcher's character, walden Schmidt, "an Internet billionaire with a broken heart." Critics compared this situation to what happened. Her character was killed off-screen, and she was replaced the following season. Sheen said he would watch his "fake funeral attended by his fake ex-girlfriends, from his very, very real movie theater, with his very real hotties in tow." 38 39 Sheen's response to the season-nine premiere was very positive. 40 he reportedly felt Charlie harper's funeral was "eerie but fun".

EY has finalised arrangements with Open Banking Nigeria to develop and advocate for a standard application programming interface (API) for the country’s financial services industry.
With this agreement, EY joins other industry stakeholders to analyse the need of the industry for a common API standard among banks and other financial institutions, support the development of API standards, promote adoption with stakeholders—players and regulators—and enable further innovations in Nigeria’s financial services industry.
The introduction of a unified API across financial institutions creates a foundation upon which data can be accessed and securely shared, real-time. This interoperability would result in the development of modern payment services, cost-saving for operators and increased innovation while also guaranteeing information security and privacy.
According to a statement by Dapo Adewole, Partner, Technology Advisory, at EY: “As part of our commitment to support the building of a better working world, EY Nigeria is working with stakeholders to use open banking to reshape financial services, especially as regulators and governments seek to increase competition and choice.
“We understand that customers also expect more convenience and flexible access to services, driven by broader digital experience and emerging technology. It is our desire to bring this goal to fruition while working with other players in the industry.”

A new name has been added to the Bigg Boss 10 Contestants list. According to the latest reports, Rohan Mehra will participate in Bigg Boss 10 as one of the contestants. He was seen as Naksh in ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ and gained decent popularity with his role. He is counted in one of the most handsome TV actors. Reports also suggest that he has informed the makers of the show that he won’t be working in the YRKKH anymore.
It is being said that the young actors of YRKKH are not happy with the lead actress Hina Khan aka Akshara in the show who is limiting their creativeness in the show and keeping the maximum footage to herself. And now, if Mehra also quits the show, the show will be shattered.
If sources are to be believed, after quitting YRKKH, Rohan Mehra will join Bigg Boss 10 and will entertain his fans there. It is also rumoured that he is dating his on-screen cousin, Kanchi Singh (Gayu) in his real life.
Arjit Taneja rumoured to be in the Bigg Boss 10 Contestants List
Apart from Rohan Mehra, it is also said that Arjit Taneja (Purab) of Kumkum Bhagya has also quit the show and rumours suggest that he has done so to join Bigg Boss 10.

He not only became popular but is also being offered films after the show.
Till date, VJ Bani and Mayur Verma have been confirmed to be in the house of Bigg Boss. Along with them, many other names are also expected.

At this pivotal moment in history, Iran and the West have been engaged in what can be viewed as a sign of true progress amongst civilizations. But it must not be forgotten that this engagement has deep roots.
Washington D.C. (PRWEB) January 08, 2014
Diplôme is pleased to announce its first event of 2014, "A Window to Iran" held on January 23rd in Washington, D.C. The private exhibition will be shown from 6:30-9pm, at Majority Group Townhouse, 19 D St SE, in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Works from Pariyoush Ganji’s "Night Windows" series will be on display. The artist will be making a special appearance during the event.
Tehran-Based artist Pariyoush Ganji’s "Night Windows," reflect a worldview that is both uniquely Iranian and yet profoundly universal. The remarkable ten layers of paint create images that project light from darkness. Each layer of paint represents a particular perspective that guides the viewer through the depths of color, highlighting the ancient history of Iranian and human civilization. Ganji’s works have been described as abstract minimalism, but categorizing her with a broad brushstroke would be contrary to the artist’s intentions.
Pariyoush Ganji has been at the center of Iranian contemporary art since the movement began. After studying in Paris and London, she returned to her native Iran where she currently resides. Her works have been exhibited internationally, and are also housed in Washington, D.C. at the Meridian Center. Ganji’s contribution to Iranian contemporary art history is a vital expression of the country’s cultural enrichment it shares with the world.
Diplôme’s selection of Washington, D.C. for its first event of 2014 is no coincidence. At this pivotal moment in history, Iran and the West have been engaged in what can be viewed as a sign of true progress amongst civilizations. But it must not be forgotten that this engagement has deep roots, despite relatively short periods of misunderstanding. Persian and Western cultures have sustained each other over thousands of years through the transfer of knowledge in the Arts and Sciences, contributing to human achievement. Diplôme has chosen to seize this hopeful, yet fragile period to feature artists and works from Iran to venues in the United States. New York-based investment banker and Co-Founder of Diplôme Roozbeh Aliabadi states, "When cultures cannot be bridged; where physical boundaries breed misunderstanding; When history tells us that we are destined to make terrible mistakes...Only Art can weave together so brilliantly all the world's chaos and structural limits."
In addition to the Washington D.C. event, Diplôme will be hosting at numerous venues primarily in Miami and New York during 2014. David Karg, Co-Founder and Director describes why the art consultancy chose Miami as its home: "Miami is one of the world’s most dynamic cultural centers. It is tempting to paint a picture that it’s merely the ‘Gateway to Latin America.’ There is a reason why some of the most highly-acclaimed international art fairs have attracted the multitudes of visitors each year. Today’s Wynwood is yesterday’s SoHo." While Diplôme’s consultants focus on the private placement of their artists’ works, the opportunities in a market that is highly underrepresented suggests their firm’s growth will be necessarily more visible in the near future.
The firm provides a tailored approach to their clients' unique tastes, creating a seamless experience. Its advisors have strategic partnerships with renowned galleries and artists. Diplôme's international team works to reduce inefficiencies that are inherent in today's art market. Focusing on art from the developing world, the consultancy offers high-touch services designed to deliver previously unattainable works.

Senate Democrats on Monday outlined a plan to bypass the Republican filibuster to pass legislation to expand Medicare and give more drug price negotiation powers to the federal government.
That prompted a warning from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday, who warned on the floor that the GOP won’t raise the U.S. national debt ceiling if the bill cannot garner bipartisan support.
“Here’s the comedy, they won’t let Republicans have any say in this monstrosity, but they want our help raising their credit card to make it happen,” McConnell said. “Democrats want Republicans to help them raise the debt limit so they can keep spending historic sums of money with zero Republican input and zero Republican votes,” he added.
But Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said (pdf) the measure is needed to make “education, health care, child care, and housing more affordable.”
He added that Democrats would pass an initial resolution, which will lay out the package’s numbers and policies, before senators leave Washington for a month-long recess.
The $3.5 trillion package was dubbed by Democrats as “human infrastructure” in hopes of making it an easier sell to voters. The legislation contains a number of provisions Republicans have decried as left-wing, including climate-related regulations and amnesty for illegal immigrants.
In response, McConnell on Monday described the bill as a “monstrosity” and said it was written without any Republican support, saying that “if they want 50 lockstep Democratic votes to spend trillions and trillions more, they can find 50 Democratic votes to finance it. If they don’t want Republicans’ input. They don’t need our help.”
Senate Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), in a statement, said that they will plan on passing the measure along party lines via budget reconciliation, which requires a 51-vote majority and bypasses the filibuster.
“The $3.5 trillion [reconciliation bill] … will be the most consequential piece of legislation for working people, the elderly, the children, the sick, and the poor since FDR and the New Deal of the 1930s,” stated Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist. “And yes, we will pass this budget with 51 votes, not 60, by passing it under the rules of reconciliation.”
A summary of the bill released by Schumer’s office shows the bill will include free community college tuition, money to create a so-called civilian climate corps to put young Americans to your, an expansion of Obamacare, universal pre-kindergarten for 3- and 4-year-old children, long-term care for older adults, Medicare expansions, money for homeowners to retrofit their properties to fall in line with climate change regulations, and more.
“We will save taxpayers hundreds of billions by requiring that Medicare negotiate prescription drug prices with the pharmaceutical industry, and we will use those savings to expand Medicare by covering the dental care, hearing aids, and eyeglasses that seniors desperately need,” said Sanders.
Illegal immigrants, or “undocumented people,” will be given a “pathway to citizenship” under the measure, Sanders also added.
Even though Sanders and other Democrats said they want to use budget reconciliation, it’s not clear whether it will pass the Senate’s rules for what can be used via the tactic. The Senate Parliamentarian will have to issue a statement on the bill and didn’t return requests from The Epoch Times for comment.
Meanwhile, some moderate senators including Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said they might not pass the measure, imperiling Democrats’ chances of passing the bill.
“I have also made clear that while I will support beginning this process, I do not support a bill that costs $3.5 trillion—and in the coming months, I will work in good faith to develop this legislation with my colleagues and the administration to strengthen Arizona’s economy and help Arizona’s everyday families get ahead,” Sinema told reporters late last month.
