Ineos Staff UK's obstacle for the 36th America's Cup begins in earnest tomorrow with the Prada Cup, the challenger assortment sequence.
The 1st two spherical robins will be the initially racing problems opportunity for Ineos to check the developments and modifications manufactured to Britannia considering that the discouraging clearly show in December.
"The staff has been functioning flat out due to the fact the planet series and we feel we have improved a lot from wherever we were," claims skipper Ben Ainslie. "We have brought a large amount of new components on the web which includes a new rudder, new rudder elevator, new mast, new mainsail, and new headsails. Then together with that we have produced modifications to our foils, to the aero package on our hull and we have changed the devices within the hull. We understood our development from the globe series would have to be significant and we have undoubtedly been occupied.
"I give a substantial quantity of the credit history to the likes of the shore workforce and the engineers. We talked about our performances on the wide assortment of the wind. We received a prolonged way down that road in conditions of improvements, there are a great deal far more to occur. Other groups are also improving upon and everyday they appear up with outbreak to their boats. We can be unquestionably competitive in the medium-solid wind assortment, the lighter race we even now never know."
"Our engineers worked all over the clock to motion these variations, these upgrades to the boat, dependent on the lighter airs but throughout the wind array, in which we have been struggling with functionality."
"Firstly [it was] figuring out why that was and then seeking to rectify that problem. We have arrive a extensive way down that street in phrases of advancements, [but] there is still additional to arrive. These other teams are strengthening each day, people today are coming up with new upgrades, and we are no unique.
"We are excited to see how substantially of a bounce we have manufactured. How significantly up that ladder we come will be interesting to see in the up coming several times.
"We would enjoy to race in the more robust breezes, that is most likely no secret, anyone can see that," states Ainslie. "The trick is we simply cannot manage the weather conditions.
"It's a medium breeze for Friday, a little bit lighter for Saturday and Sunday so we will see how substantially we have been in a position to improve that overall performance in the lighter airs in excess of the weekend.
"We need to be competitive across the wind assortment and that is our aim. We have produced some huge jumps but continue to much more to occur in that place."
Luna Rossa has acknowledged Ainslie's improvement declaring, in a assertion, that the English crew 'have proven wonderful advancements, both equally in conditions of manoeuvres and speed' in the latest weeks.
"As we have viewed in the final week, everyone's gotten more rapidly," says Terry Hutchinson, skipper for American Magic's Patriot, widening the praise pool.
"And what we observed from the defender the other working day is they've designed techniques past in which they ended up. Just after the planet series, we acquired really closely into just straight line boat speed progress and then from there, performing on manoeuvring and how to ideal keep Patriot up and out of the h2o."
Challengers closing hole
In the meantime, crafting for the New Zealand Herald , Magic formula Sailor says the gulf among ETNZ and the challengers that was obvious all through previous month's environment sequence would seem to have shut.
"The Kiwis may possibly have another gear that they have not however shown but there is no denying they have struggled to get across the get started line – remaining beaten in the commences by Luna Rossa and American Magic in the Christmas series and dropping two commences to Ineos Crew United kingdom in this week's observe races.
"At occasions during the world series, the People and Italians also appeared to match them in the speed stakes. The capsize all through exercise racing in opposition to the Brits on Monday is also not a wonderful indication. None of the other teams arrived close to tipping over and even though Staff NZ have three incredibly professional helmsmen on their boat, they have some operate to do."
Patrizio Bertelli, CEO Prada Group, has warned all the groups of his expectations. "You have a motivation and a responsibility toward the entire world who is pursuing you to deliver excellent sportsmanship and sporting celebration," Bertelli suggests. "I trust that you will do so.
"What seriously issues is that we have one defender and some challengers. It should not turn into like a F1 circuit, that is unacceptable.
"This is a start-up, and if we preserve producing the exact same style of boat, which I hope it will transpire, much more groups will be included in the America's Cup in the long term. These boats are amazing: with Staff New Zealand we have designed a real breakthrough in the history of yacht style, a authentic technological milestone. They are really advanced boats, but potentially in ten decades this know-how can be transferred and utilized also to cruising boats.
"I have no view on the New York Yacht Club's seeking to go back to regular boats, but initially they have to get the America's Cup and then they are no cost to make any determination they like. It has constantly been like this in the America's Cup. It's up to the defender."
Obtain out how to check out the motion unfold.

PHOENIX -- A tax on renting cars to help pay off the Cardinals Stadium is illegal, a Maricopa County Superior Court judge ruled Tuesday.Judge Dean Fink said the levy runs afoul of a state constitutional provision which limits any taxes levied on the use of vehicles on public streets to being used to fund road construction and maintenance and related purposes. And Fink agreed with arguments by attorney Shawn Aiken, representing several car rental firms, that construction of a stadium clearly falls outside that restriction.While the tax is levied only in Maricopa County, its effects are wider than that. It covers not just those who need a temporary vehicle while theirs is being fixed but anyone who comes to the area and needs a car for a few days or weeks.

AV in the IT World
By Rob Di Toro	June 16, 2016 March 6th, 2017 audiovisual
It is no secret that the world is becoming more software-driven as we round up to the tail end of the 2010's.
'Apps' are utilised by consumers of all demographics, and the word now extends to mean any extended function of someone's mobile, tablet, TV, or even vehicle. What the App-user does not usually consciously realise is the nature in which they are utilising these apps is largely the same as they were in the late 90's. Software programs came on installation discs and CDs; the only thing that has changed is the method of installation.
This ease of delivery has changed the demand for functionality and price point we generally expect when it comes to purchasing software.
Applications are (usually) made by teams of people who have poured countless hours into its production. Most coffee drinkers will gladly spend more than $3.99 each morning on their daily cup of joe, but grit their teeth at the idea of paying that for a mobile app.
In terms of widespread usage, development, and research, 'Audiovisual' as an industry was 'first'. It was the inventions that changed the way we broadcast, produce and record music, and then later video that allowed the Audiovisual industry to grow to the size that it was at the start of the decade, before the 'smart' revolution.
Bruce Kaufmann from Human Circuit posits that AV is no longer an industry in itself, but instead is now a subsection of the very wide umbrella of Information Technology. 'AV in the IT world' is not only is true in the consumer market. We can observe this with examples such as the TV, Phone, and Home Theatre system becoming 'Smart' and joining 'The Internet of Things' (IoT), but also in regards to the way businesses operate.
AV in the IT world is now accepted to be the way of the times, but what does this mean for Audiovisual innovation?

Anas Begs Ghanaians To Stop Splashing His Alleged Photos On Social Media To Prevent Attacks On Innocent Persons
Investigative journalist Anas Aremeyawo Anas has addressed a viral video for the first time since 2019 alleging that he was grabbed by some youths in Tse Addo, Accra.
Since the video went viral, neither the journalist nor his organization, Tiger Eye PI, has spoken to him or the content in it.
Three years later, Tiger Eye has commented on the video, dissociating its chief executive from the video and warning against the man allegedly being unmasked over fears that innocent people could be targeted.
The statement issued by Tiger Eye on November 25 was primarily meant to dispel allegations of extortion in the wake of Anas' recent documentary 'Gallumsy Economy'.
The statement addressed a widely viral video that was circulated in the wake of the documentary, which led to the sacking of Charles Adu Bohen, Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance, on allegations of influence.
The relevant part is as follows: "In the video, a man in Korno who was claimed to be Anas was being accused of land grab. On humanitarian grounds, we would like to reiterate that disseminating videos of individuals and tagging them as ANAS may put innocent individuals at risk as they may be caught and targeted in case of mistaken identity.
"We wish to further state on record that Anas Aremayev Anas, CEO of Tiger Eye has never forcibly or illegally evicted anyone from his land nor has been allegedly involved in any dispute. The court has found them not guilty of illegal land grab.
About Viral Video:
In the said video, several men are seen meeting a man with braided hair whom they claim was Anas Aremayo Anas in Tse Addo, a suburb of Accra.
One of the men, commenting loudly on the matter, described how the 'supposed' Anas was trying to dispose of them of land they had rightfully acquired.
They claim that 'Anas' had confirmed his identity to them and that was the reason they decided to throw him out as he was committing a crime.
During this, 'Anas' is also heard speaking Hausa with the attackers.
Below are the details of his statement:
Below is the full statement:
Tiger Eye responds to allegations of extortion and blackmail
Following the release of the Galamsi Economy Expose focused on exposing the widespread rot affecting the economy and investor confidence in Ghana, some have resorted to mudslinging and lying against Tiger Eye PI CEO Anas Aremayo Anas.
A video made of repeated allegations from 2018 has been circulated on social media networks and other messaging platforms. Tiger Eye hereby responds to the contents of the said video, which contains details which we have refuted on numerous occasions.
Tiger Eye PI Anas Aremayev denies all charges against Anas, including extortion and blackmail. These allegations are fictitious and fabricated, which have no basis in reality.
Tiger Eye PI notes that these are ploys by the perpetrators of corruption and their accomplices to deflect attention from the facts of our recent expose. It also begs the question that why such allegations come to the fore only when there is a disclosure?
In the said video, the wife of Mr. Kwesi Nyantaki can be seen and heard on Metro TV sometime in 2018, alleging that some people asked her husband to pay some amount ($100,000) to skip the #12 exposé. was contacted for
When the allegation was first made, Anas Aremayo Anas challenged Mr Nyantaki and his wife to sue him or whoever they were accusing, or report them to the police for extortion, if He seems to think his stale allegation is true (though it is important) to note that, he, as well as the whistleblowers of said allegation, fail to mention anyone by name.
Today, Mr. Nyantaki is on trial for fraud and corruption. If this allegation is true, it would be absurd that he would not hold bribe-seekers to any extent, especially when, through Tiger Eye's anti-corruption campaigns, he has lost his job.
It is important to note that, the champion of these false allegations, Mr. Kennedy Agyapong (also seen in the video), who showed photographs of the late Ahmed Suale on his NET 2 TV before his murder, Anas Aremayo Anas, is in court for defamation In the case of
When he challenged Anas's professional integrity as an advocate in the General Legal Council, he was defeated. Then again, he has already lost the first round of defamation suit against him by Mr. Abdul Malik Kuweku Bako, where the court found his allegations to be baseless and hollow.
Some parts of the video are showing false claims of Mr. Charles Bishue. Tiger Eye recently comprehensively debunked his false claims. (We reiterate that those claims of demanding bribe to quash the disclosure of the Galamse fraud are false and baseless.
It is interesting that whenever these claims are made, the accusers fail to mention specific names nor produce evidence to substantiate their claims. They don't even take bold steps to report such things to law enforcement agencies to deal with them as per law. This should alert every observer that these claims are absurd and should be treated as such.
In the video, a man claimed to be Anas was being accused of land grab in Korno. On humanitarian grounds, we would like to reiterate that disseminating videos of individuals and tagging them as ANAS may put innocent individuals at risk as they may be caught and targeted in case of mistaken identity.
We would like to further state for the record that Anas Aremayev Anas, CEO of Tiger Eye has never forcibly or illegally evicted anyone from his land and has not allegedly been involved in any dispute. No court has found him guilty of illegal land acquisition.
Tiger Eye is fully aware that this particular allegation is being supported by one Kuveku Annan who was sacked from NET 2 for professional misconduct. Suffice it to say, Kuveku Annan was exposed by Tiger Eye demanding a bribe to lie about Anas Aremeyaw Anas (
Subsequently, Tiger Eye took him to the National Media Commission (NMC) to redress his allegations (where he could not substantiate a single claim, which led to a restraining order being issued against him by the NMC.
Once again, we challenge anyone with evidence of wrongdoing in the nature of illegal acquisition of land to approach the appropriate state agency for further action.
To reiterate without disputing, Tiger Eye PI has never, through its agents or third parties, sought money from people busted by Tiger Eye PI in connection with our work, including for the removal of stories Episode 12 and the Galamsey Fraud Expose.
In accordance with internal operating procedures and integrity mechanisms within Tiger Eye, it is impossible for any of our agents to ask for a bribe to drop a story. The sheer frivolity and inconsistency of these allegations has been exposed several times by Tiger Eye PI.
Tiger Eye PI, as always following its own investigation, has taken additional steps to assist relevant state authorities in examining the findings of our investigation. Anas Aremayev Anas has testified in courts, been cross-examined, and has been the subject of several lawsuits for his actions. In more than two decades of service dedicated to uncovering crimes, none of these prosecutions have been successful.
We challenge anyone with evidence of a crime against Anas Aremayev Anas, to provide it to the relevant state authorities without hesitation.
Tiger Eye PI is unwavering in its commitment to fight corruption and crimes using Sting Operations (Anas Siddhanta), and absolutely nothing, be it threats or the stuff of fake allegations, will deter us from holding responsible officers in the interest of God and country Will stop keeping

The works of Edel Bordón are aimed at the homo ludens, surpassing boundaries, but not in an aggressive way. They present a hybrid form that transcends thematic repetitions and explores form. His paintings, far from any blaring loudness to draw everyone's attention, put forward a reflexive and discreet humor, an exercise of visual intelligence. His works reveal eroticism and seduction, as well as the existential frustrations of the artist.
The precious finishing touches of his paintings do not obey the aesthetic rigidness but the desire of accomplishing the highest quality and highest efficiency possible in communication. This intent is also shown in the thematic diversity and his openness in considering a wide range of plastic devices.
Hidden behind his painting lies the mystery which brings to life each work: the modern vision of the cosmos that, nurtured by the fusion the varied sources of a Caribbean soul: the western and the Christian cultures, the African and Spanish ancestors, thirteen years of academic studies and almost thirty years as professor of arts, the proverbial beauty of Cuban women as a result of their rich racial amalgam together with their now o so rare femininity.. All these constitute the starting point of his artistic expression.

The History, Rules, and Odds of Winning the Lottery
July 26, 2022 meledakyuk88
You might be wondering how and why the lottery exists. In this article, we'll explore the history, rules, and odds of winning this popular game. But before we get into those, let's look at the history of lotteries in general. Lottery history stretches back to ancient times, when the Old Testament Moses divided land amongst the Israelites, and the Roman emperors are said to have given slaves and property in lotteries. The United States began banging lotteries during the late 18th century, though a handful of states still operate lotteries today.
The history of the lottery dates back to ancient times, when lots were used for the purpose of deciding ownership of land. Lotteries were popular in Europe in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. The Netherlands was one of the first countries to adopt lotteries, and the name lottery comes from the Dutch word "lot" meaning "fate." In the United States, the history of the lottery goes back to 1612 when King James I of England created a lottery to raise funds for his settlement in Jamestown, Virginia. The United States has a complicated relationship with gambling, yet many of its founding fathers participated in the lottery. It is also possible that many historical institutions such as universities and colleges were financed by organized lotteries.
If you've ever pondered the odds of winning the lottery, you've probably wondered what the chances are of hitting the jackpot. The chances are so low that you might even lose your common sense. For example, the odds of winning a million dollars in the Powerball or Mega Millions are only one in 24.9. However, there are more unlikely outcomes: a murder in the Grand Canyon is 35 times more likely than winning the jackpot. The odds of getting polydactyly (extra fingers or toes) range from one in 500 to one in a thousand.
A lottery scam is a classic example of advance fee fraud. The scam begins with an unexpected notification. A person may win the lottery and receive a cheque for an undetermined amount. However, this is not the end of the scam; it could just be the beginning of more trouble. In this article, we'll look at how to spot lottery scams and how to avoid falling prey to them. After all, it's always best to play it safe and protect yourself.
The Rules of Lottery are a set of regulations that govern the operation of the lottery game. These rules may include the price of a winning ticket, methods of prize verification, and the payment of prizes. They should be read and studied carefully by any lottery enthusiast before participating in the game. To learn more about the Rules of Lottery, contact the governing body for your country's lottery or seek the advice of lottery experts. Once you have a basic understanding of the rules, you can play the lottery safely and legally.
The United States' state lotteries are among the fastest-growing categories of consumer expenditure. Per capita lottery spending has increased by 13 percent annually after adjusting for inflation between 1975 and 1988. Lottery products are popular with the general public, but relatively few people account for the majority of the action. Several studies have examined socioeconomic patterns of lottery playing. The Engle curve shows that lottery expenditures decrease as income increases, but it is unclear whether this is true for all lotteries.

Hagström, Linus and Marie Söderberg (eds) (2006) North Korea Policy: Japan and the Great Powers, London: Routledge.
ISBN 0415399165 - Hardback, 177 and xii pages.
Despite its focus on an East Asian security issue, North Korea Policy: Japan and the Great Powers has a notably European background. The book emerged from a conference, entitled 'Japan, East Asia and the Formation of North Korea Policy', which was jointly held by the European Institute of Japanese Studies and the Swedish Institute of International Affairs in Stockholm in March 2005. It is edited by Linus Hagström and Marie Söderberg (also author of the introductory chapter) and includes contributions from a range of scholars, including Yoichiro Sato, Christopher Hughes and Quansheng Zhao.
The book's quite original aim is to 'use North Korea policy as the subject for a case study to analyse Japanese foreign policy' (page 1). Despite the slightly misleading title, therefore, the book is concerned not so much with North Korea than with how Japan has been managing its North Korea policy in the context, chiefly, of its key foreign policy relationships (e.g. with South Korea and the United States), but also in the context of the region's multilateral frameworks (especially the Six-Party Talks). The book asks 'Has the image of Japan as a curiously (or intelligibly) passive and reactive trading state remained an accurate one in the midst of the turbulent changes, both domestically and internationally, of recent years?' (page 1). In examining such questions, North Korea Policy focuses on 'two similar instances of international interaction in regard to North Korea' (page 6). These are the international coordination process that took place between 1993 and 1995, which resulted in the Agreed Framework and the establishment of KEDO (Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organisation), and the Six-Party Talks that have taken place since 2003.
There are two major themes pursued in the book. The first is international change: how regional relations have been affected 'by the end of the cold war, rapid globalization, and �c a "changing power structure" in the region' (page 1). The second concerns the questions noted above, that is, the importance of Japan to regional relations generally and to the North Korea issue in particular. Having questioned the trend in the recent literature that has 'gone from "Japan-bashing" to "Japan-passing" and then to "Japan nothing" ' (page 1), the book seeks to examine 'how the power or influence of Japanese foreign policy has evolved relative to that of other important actors in the region during the last decade or so' (page 5). The book is divided into an introduction plus eight chapters. The first chapter looks at Japan's North Korea policy itself, while the second examines the rationales behind North Korea's own strategy. Chapters 3 and 5 look at how the major Asian players have approached North Korea and Japan, while Chapters 4, 6 and 7 examine the perspectives of the West (the US, Russia and the EU). The book concludes with a chapter on the region's main multilateral frameworks.
The book has a number of strong points. It undoubtedly tackles a fundamental issue for East Asian security, the at times conciliatory but most often confrontational diplomatic tussle over North Korea's nuclear program. As Hagström and Söderberg argue in the first chapter (page 5), 'North Korea figures very highly on the agenda of major actors in North-East Asia and it is regarded as one of the major destabilizing factors in the entire Asia–Pacific region'. It also develops a novel way of comparing Japan's role to those of other states. By looking at Japan's role relative to other regional actors, the book is able to draw out valuable insights into both Japanese policy and the role of the North Korean issue in East Asian politics, a task which would have been far more difficult if it had focused solely on Japan–North Korea relations. For the editors, this style of case study is useful in several ways. First, it 'involves the possibility of both bilateral and multilateral interaction' (page 5) between Japan, North Korea and other states, which improves the possibilities for comparative analysis. Second, it is a major issue, especially for Japan, and rates 'very highly on the agenda of major actors' (page 5). Third, since North Korea remains separated from the global economy, it 'provides a unique chance to isolate political initiatives from business ones' (page 6).
By examining multiple triangular relationships in this way, the book is able to raise a number of challenging questions regarding these countries' management of North Korea and Japan, especially concerning the Six-Party Talks. Several contributors discuss the role of human rights in Japanese diplomacy toward North Korea (i.e. the abduction issue) and wonder how it has functioned as perhaps the major domestic factor in Japan's North Korea policy. The general consensus is that, in pursuing the issue, Japan has been undermining its wider foreign policy objectives. Akaha argues that Japan 'needs to reconsider its current policy towards North Korea' (page 34). In particular, Tokyo 'should demonstrate that it is willing to forgo an immediate resolution of the abduction issue if doing so would enhance the probability of success of the multilateral talks in ending the nuclear crisis' (page 34). Zhang observes that 'Beijing has not hidden its disapproval of Tokyo's attempts to bring the issue to the Six-Party Talks' (page 105). Similarly, Hwang asserts that 'Tokyo's North Korea policy has in fact been hijacked by the Japanese public's preoccupation with the issue of the abductions' (page 67), while Park suggests that 'the government of Japan is virtually paralyzed by the abduction issue' (page 47). Sato, however, argues that the US has taken a different strategy, having both supported Japan's position and distanced itself from it, depending on 'its own calculations of the overall negotiation objectives, and divergence of opinions within the �c administration' (page 85).
Hughes' analysis in the last chapter on the multilateralism of the Six-Party Talks is particularly interesting, given subsequent events (see Rozman 2007). Hughes is sceptical of 'the long-term value of the Six-Party Talks' multilateralism and other �c US-inspired varieties of multilateral frameworks' (page 152). He argues that these frameworks have been hierarchical as opposed to egalitarian. In other words, they have been based on hegemonic rather than concert-type multilateralism (pages 152, 158–163) and are, as such, 'unlikely to succeed in their own objectives or to evolve to meet the same or different security challenges' (page 167). More recent events—North Korea's firing of missiles in July 2006 and its testing of a nuclear weapon in October 2006—have increased the pressure on the key actors to reinvigorate the negotiations, have put China more clearly at the centre of the talks and, arguably, have precipitated a more concert-oriented approach by the US. In 2007 the major players seem to have moved away from hegemonic multilateralism and strengthened the concert type, suggesting that Hughes' 'triumph of multilateral form over substance' (page 155) may be giving way, as he thought it should, to a more vigorous multilateralism. Yet, as Rozman (2007, 602) points out with regard to increased Sino-US cooperation and a new multilateral process, the agreement still requires 'vigorous leadership if it is not to fail'.
North Korea Policy does also have some weaknesses. As is sometimes the case with edited collections, the chapters are of uneven quality in style, theory and structure. The book also lacks an overall coherence. In particular, the chapters engage patchily with the first major theme (on the impact of the Cold War's ending, globalisation and changing power structures). Although the Hughes chapter is strong and provides an interesting and thought-provoking analysis, since it is quite different in style and structure from the other chapters, it reads more like a separate article than an integral part of the book. A brief concluding chapter at the end would have improved some of these problems.
Unfortunately, one of the book's most promising features turns out to be a major weakness. By examining Japan through its North Korea policy to determine how its foreign policy has evolved relative to its neighbours, the book establishes a repetitive pattern whereby contributors struggle to find new ways to explain how and why Japan has had minimal influence. Hagström and Söderberg accept in the introduction that 'none of the chapters find that Tokyo exercises any influence �c the "Japan factor" still seems negligible' (page 12), and much of the book then re-explores this same territory. According to Zhao, for China, Japan is a secondary consideration behind the US and North Korea (page 109). Hwang contends that Japan has had 'little direct influence in Seoul's policies towards North Korea' (page 69). The territorial dispute limits Russo-Japanese cooperation according to Zhebin (page 127). And in the chapter on the EU, Rüdiger Frank notes that 'no explicit traces of Japanese influence on the EU's policy-making process could be found' (page 147). The subtitle of this chapter is the giveaway—'No Trace of Japanese Influence'.
Somewhat incongruously, however, Hagström and Söderberg still contend that 'in the end it is not certain that the evidence as summarized does attest unambiguously to the lack of power or influence of Japanese foreign policy' (page 14). This is due to the remaining tool for Japanese influence—its obduracy. The 'stubborn Japanese stance could', they argue, 'be interpreted as a Japanese exercise of obstructive power' (page 14). This thesis is similar to Hughes' (2006, 456) argument that Japan's influence in the region may in the end be to 'obstruct progress on a resolution to the nuclear issue'. As evidence, Hagström and Söderberg refer to the many chapters in the book which cite Koizumi's August 2002 summit as running against US goals. Still, they do caution that 'in the end Japanese policy might not be capable of moving the US one' and that Japan 'would probably have to drop the abduction issue and proceed with normalization and economic aid' (page 14). Many of the chapters do discuss the summit (though not always in much detail), and it is true that the summit was a sign of some Japanese foreign policy independence. But it does not follow that this summitry signals an ability on Japan's part to obstruct a resolution. Indeed, Japan may well have diminished its influence through its summitry gambit, and in any case subsequent developments, especially greater Sino-American cooperation, could well sideline Japan regardless. Nor does it follow that this evidence significantly muddies the book's otherwise fairly clear waters. For a range of reasons—historical and contemporary, domestic and international—the unambiguous message from the book's contributors is that Japanese foreign policy has had little or no trace of influence on the North Korean issue.
Overall, North Korea Policy provides a worthwhile contribution to the literature on both the issue of North Korea in East Asian international relations and on Japan's role in this issue. It brings together a wide range of perspectives and constructs an original approach to the topic. Although it does have weaknesses, its comprehensive analysis covers both the historical background as well as recent developments, and many of the questions it asks go to the heart of Japan's foreign relations and today's international relations in Northeast Asia.

CONTRARY TO COMMON wisdom, a recent study found that some female Antarctic fur seals will travel up to 115 feet across a colony to mate, shunning a nearby dominant male that, because he's mated with so many other females, is more likely to be a relative. Such apparent aversion to inbreeding may have helped the species recover from near extinction a century ago. According to University of Cambridge zoologist Joe Hoffman, lead author of the report in Nature, the results "also suggest that female choice may be more widespread in nature than we previously thought."

Q: Finding and visualizing the Linear Regression Curve for N days at a time Want to find the linear regression line every n days, this is typically known as a 'linear regression curve'.
I have time series data in which I need to find the linear regression curve every n days - essentially the slope every n days will change and there will be a new linear regression line every n days - all of them being connected on a graph later on.
def slope_intercept(x_val, y_val):
x = np.array(x_val)
y = np.array(y_val)
m = ( ( (np.mean(x)*np.mean(y) ) - np.mean(x*y)) /
    ( ( np.mean(x)*np.mean(x)) - np.mean(x*x)))

m = round(m,2)
b=(np.mean(y)-np.mean(x)*m)
b=round(b,2)
return m,b

m,b=slope_intercept(future.index.tolist(), future['close'].tolist())
future['reg_line'] = [(m*x)+b for x in future.index.tolist()]

Once this is found, I would like to visualize it on a graph. A picture of said visualization is below, as well as example of the code for linear regression of the entire time of data. I am guessing it is some type of for-loop to do this?

The national effort to engage Americans, particularly the Latino community, about the Affordable Care Act (ACA) continued at Enroll America's third State of Enrollment conference in Washington, D.C., where Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, exclusively told Latin Post about the health reform law's benefits for the people.
On May 12, Castro spoke to attended of the State of Enrollment conference, organized by Enroll America, a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization that has helped increase health care insurance enrollment. Castro's presence allowed him to speak from numerous perspectives: as a lawmaker, a Texan and a Latino.
The Lone Star State, however, are among the nearly three-dozen states that have yet to expand Medicaid. According to Enroll America data, 16 percent of Texans between 18 and 64 years old, regardless of ethnicity, are uninsured. The aforementioned uninsured rate, however, is a drop from 2013's 21.3 percent. Among Texan Hispanics, 23 percent are lack health insurance, especially Latino men compared to Latinas within the 18 to 34 age group, 32 percent to 28 percent, respectively.
According to Castro, the ACA, often referred to as Obamacare, "has been a lifesaver for so many Americans, including a great number of Latinos across the country." The congressman for Texas' 20th Congressional District, which includes Bexar County and home to a Hispanic uninsured rate of 19 percent, said it's "unfortunate" Texas has yet expanded Medicaid.
"They should do the right thing and expand Medicaid ... There are a lot of Latinos that are working hard every day but still, despite their hard work, are not able to afford health insurance but also to support their families," Castro told Latin Post on Thursday. "Expanding Medicaid would allow hardworking people to go see their doctor, make sure they're healthy to support their family."
(Photo: Enroll America) Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, speaking to attendees of Enroll America's State of Enrollment Conference on May 12, 2016, in Washington, D.C.
"I've been pushing very hard for the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, and the state legislature to expand Medicaid in our state as it would help over a million Texans," added Castro, noting the federal government will be 100 percent responsible of paying for the full ACA adoption in Texas and would save the state money over the long term.
Abbott opposes the ACA's Medicaid expansion and has even supported other states in blocking its development. In May 2015, Abbott filed an amicus brief to support fellow Republican Gov. Rick Scott of Florida, also home to a significant Latino population, in a lawsuit against Medicaid expansion. According to Abbott, the decision not to expand Medicaid is a "constitutional right."
Thursday was the first of the two-day State of Enrollment conference in Washington, D.C., where approximately 700 participants across 48 states gathered for numerous sessions such as amplifying Latino outreach, streamlining and strategizing enrollment through technology, educating new enrollees on how to best understand and utilize their health plan and familiarizing with the health care law's exemptions, penalties and taxes.
"Enroll America members are excited," Castro said about the State of Enrollment conference. "They know the kind of profound impact on the lives of millions of Americans and they're excited about the upcoming enrollment season later in the year. The ACA is going to continue to grow and help more families."
The first day saw a keynote address from U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Sylvia Burwell, who spoke about the next open enrollment period, which she projects will be a big success. Burwell acknowledged the in-person assistance has been critical in people enrolling or renewing their health plans.
The two-day conference includes other Latino leaders speak and discuss the ACA's impact toward the Latino community, including The Children's Partnership President of Mayra Alvarez. Thursday included Alvarez and other panelists discuss how even small community groups, churches, school and teachers can make an impact in the enrollment gains within their communities.
"It's energizing to see how receptive and passionate our partners are about our digital tools like the Get Covered Connector and Plan Explorer that offer them a better way to assist the uninsured and newly insured," Enroll America spokesperson Annette Raveneau told Latin Post. "The State of Enrollment Conference is helping them connect with each other and learn new methods of engaging the communities we all serve."
Based on data released in March, the HHS revealed 20 million Americans have gained health insurance coverage as a result of the ACA's first provisions went into effect in 2010, including 6.1 million millennials between the ages of 19 and 25. Within the Latino community, across America, the ACA helped the uninsured rate drop from 41.8 percent to 30.5 percent. Since 2010, approximately four million Latino adults gained insurance. Despite the declining uninsured rate, Latinos still represent the largest uninsured demographic in the U.S.

Q: Elasticsearch Java REST Client: see if number of eligible hits exceeded SearchSourceBuilder size I have an Elasticsearch request:
SearchSourceBuilder source = new SearchSourceBuilder()
    .size(limit)
    .from(offset)
    .query(queryBuilder)
SearchRequest searchRequest = new SearchRequest(indexName)
        .types(type)
        .source(source);
SearchResponse searchResponse = client.search(searchRequest);

I need to optionally return a pagination token based on whether or not the number of results returned was limited by the limit parameter (in other words, are there more results to return). Is there a way to see if the number of eligible search hits that matched the query exceeded limit, other than either doing another query, or by setting the size to limit + 1 and removing the last hit in the response?

A: Elasticsearch returns the total number of documents matching your query in hits.totalHits property in the response. If it is bigger than offset+limit then you have next page.

A: I think that what you need is first just a count search, with this I mean do the query you want and set the size to 0 this make the result to just return the total hits, where you can get the size of each page.
    int pageSize = 10;
    long totalCount = searchResponse.getHits().getTotalHits();
    PageCount pageCount = new PageCount();
    if (totalCount <= 0)
        return result;
    long pages = (totalCount < pageSize) ? 1l : ((totalCount % pageSize) == 0) ? (totalCount / pageSize) : ((totalCount / pageSize) + 1);

    if (totalCount <= 10000) {
        result.setTotal(totalCount);
        result.setPages(pages);
    } else {
        result.setTotal(10000);
        result.setPages((10000 / pageSize));
    }

Here I use the 10000 just as a limit so that Elasticsearch to limit the amount of memory it consumes. Once you have this information you can return the number of pages for the query and make requests for a given page.
Once you have this, you could setup the search request like:
    long size = ((pageCount.getTotal() < pageSize) ? pageCount.getTotal() : pageSize);
    if (pageCount.getTotal() > pageSize && (page + 1) >= pageCount.getPages()) {
        size = ((pageCount.getTotal() % pageSize) != 0 ? pageCount.getTotal() % pageSize : pageSize);
    }
    searchRequest.setSize((int) size).setFrom((int) (page * pageSize))

This is just sample code, I hope this get you enough.
Cheers

For some people, dropping their guard long enough to let you in takes a concerted effort—and plenty of time.
1. Go easy. A good place to start is to be sure you aren't pushing too hard too fast. There is nothing wrong with letting the person you are interested in have the reigns and set the pace for a while.
2. Lead by example. Be open yourself—to demonstrate what you'd like in return.
3. Pay attention. Nothing encourages somebody to share better than having an active, genuinely interested listener.
5. Be aware of body language. Your posture, eye contact, hand gestures—all of these communicate something important. Your nonverbal cues say either "I'm really interested" or "I'm bored and going through the motions." Use your body language to promote rather than prevent openness.
6. Give yourself a gut-check. Ask yourself: Are you critical and demanding of others? Is your sense of humor demeaning or uplifting? Would you feel safe sharing your inner self with you?
7. Stay in the sweet spot. Put your date at ease by doing things he/she enjoys the most. The more the person is having fun, the more likely conversation will flow.
8. Seek safety in numbers. Suggest dinner with his friends, then observe what happens when his defenses are down.
9. Bargain. Make a game out of trading personal details. Start silly—favorite TV sitcom—and work your way up.
10. Employ top-notch "customer service." Make sure your focus is on the other person's needs, desires, and wishes.
11. Be informed. There may be legitimate reasons for a person's reticence to open up as soon as you'd like. A little empathy goes a long way.
12. Avoid interrogations. Nobody likes bright lights and thumbscrews.
13. Know when to fold 'em. Back off if he or she starts signaling discomfort.
14. Don't take reticence personally. If your date is slow to open up, it's probably not about you. It is a statement about who they are and what they need.
15. Put the ball in his/her court. If you've done all of the above and still feel that you are on the outside looking in, you are allowed to tell your date what you want (to get acquainted) and why (because you're interested and attracted).
There is no "right" way for relationships to develop. Each one follows its own path on its own timetable. Still, it can't hurt to give yours a little active encouragement along the way.

Politics in the social media arena
EU Justice Commissioner Věra Jourová has called on technology companies to help ensure that the campaign for the European elections is fair. In view of the rise in manipulated information it was their duty to adopt counter-measures, she said at the start of November in Lisbon. Several governments including France's are looking for ways to tackle fake news. Are social media changing the political culture?
The Daily Telegraph (GB) / 24 November 2018
Telegraph Media Group
Summary proceedings for fact-checking?
The French National Assembly last week passed a law according to which candidates and parties can appeal to the courts to counter alleged fake news. The Daily Telegraph sees this as the wrong approach:
"[Macron's] government has succumbed to a terrible confusion. If false information is spreading, it has concluded, what's needed is for the state to step in and decree what's true and what's not, and then to stamp out the latter. Never mind the fact that it is almost impossible and downright dangerous for a court to fact-check stories it might know nothing about in 48 hours, a process that would often take several days for an experienced journalist."
Kristeligt Dagblad (DK) / 26 November 2018
Kristeligt Dagblads Fond og Chr. Augustinus Fabrikker A/S. / Aktionäre
Anonymous workers calling the shots
Kristeligt Dagblad takes a critical view of Facebook's deletion policy:
"An army of employees is busy deleting posts. These people have no political arguments. They've learned to explain their deletions by saying that the posts run counter to the company's rules or policies. They have no face, and you rarely come in contact with them. You can't discuss the framework of a political debate with them. They are, however, administrating the world's biggest platform for political debates, and politicians adapt to their conditions instead of controlling them. It is more than questionable whether in 50 years' time our grandchildren will still be happy about today's developments. Even if social media appear to be saving resources, in many ways they still seem too costly."
Ellebæk Madsen Anders
El País (ES) / 27 November 2018
A society of lonely and angry people
In El País's opinion social media are aggravating a serious social problem:
"The majority of citizens feel very lonely or feel that their personal relationships lack meaningfulness. The University of California has rubbed salt in the wounds with figures that show that these feelings intensify from generation to generation. And this loneliness is not harmless. It creates fear and anger and demands compensation. It radicalises thought, speech, car driving, voting behaviour. The social being feels betrayed because it feels alone amidst what it thinks is a crowd of smiling people who are all having fun. And it wants someone to pay for this. We are becoming an angry society."

Review of the Fitbit Alta - How good is it?
Be introduced in March 2016, Fitbit Alta is the symbol of the new Fitbit generation that brings to its targeted user the fashion style with all the necessary features remained. The Alta is suitable for the daily activities so there's no surprise if it comes with an elegant and sporty look. Hence, what are the points that we should think about when looking at this new device of Fitbit fitness tracker?
The Alta at a glance.
Fitbit has been successful, at least in giving Alta an elegant design. The slim band, come along with the black rectangle screen can make your wearable device more fit on your wrist. This also makes you feel more comfortable, since you should wear it all the day and night. Some different size such as small, large, X-large, are provided for choosing as the previous Fitbit versions. And, I'd love to see several options available to the band, like colors (black, blue, plum, and teal), or materials (classic, leather and metal). The rectangle tap screen enables the device to display long text message, means be more interactive with user only via tapping action.
I've got one with small size and plum, classic band, and feel really satisfied with my daily activities. And I am going to get one more replaceable band with either leather or metal, maybe the white metal one will be chosen, since it helps me to gain the style in some official events or when I go to my office. There are holes on the band to make it's easy to wear, all the thing you have to do only is selecting the most fit, then press the lock until it sounds a soft click. I met a problem since it's hard for me to press the lock to the holes for the very first time, but after someday using, it becomes easier and not being the matter.
What is displaying on the Alta tap screen?
By default, the Alta displays date and time, steps count, distance, calories burned and active minutes. Each of that information will be shown individually and sequentially each time you tab on the screen. Fitbit support you to change the order of displaying, or determine which information of the above will be shown or hidden, by the settings inside the Fitbit app installed on your smart phone.
What does the Alta track?
I appreciate the exact of steps count feature, since the device itself can realize what are the exact steps taken by the owner, not being depended on the distance made while the owner using other vehicle, like moving by car as an example. But if I try moving by bicycle, it's detected exactly as an exercise, time and calories is encountered. So you can count on the tracking result which is bringing by the Alta.
If you expected a wearable device, that can help tracking and monitoring your heart rate, Alta should NOT be a choice. That means the heart rate monitor feature is not included in this brand-new version. It is recommended to choose the Charge HR version instead, if you really need the heart rate tracking feature.
How about the extra feature?
Beside the main features of activities tracking, Alta also is equipped with some other extra features that can help and support you more in your real life.
First of all, you can set the alarm. Just open the Fitbit app on your smart phone and add an alarm, sync the alarm to your Alta (via Bluetooth), then go to bed. Your Alta will wake you up on time with the silent, vibrating alarm right on your wrist without waking up your partner.
Secondary, the feature of mobile notification is another plus. As long as your Alta and smart phone is connected using Bluetooth, it can notify you about the new call with caller's ID, or new text message, with the right way of silent alarm. How private and convenient!
The battery life is depended on the way you setting your Alta, or how you make it connects with the other device like smart phone or computer… Fitbit announce that the Alta's battery life can span up to 5 days. And in reality, I have to recharge the device after 4-5 days, with about 1 – 2 hours of charging. This is an acceptable battery life, it will NOT bother you by being out of energy frequently.
On the smart phone, Alta connected with the device using Bluetooth and sync to the user's account on Fitbit.com via the Internet. But if you want to sync using your computer, there is a Bluetooth device comes along with your Alta kit, that can be plugged into the USB port.
There are known issues of syncing on some specific Samsung and Sony Xperia devices, which are listed in the Alta guide by the Fitbit. But no worry, they are NOT serious and unsolvable, and only happen on some specified devices.
In general, I highly appreciate this quite new-brand Fitbit Alta. It has an effective design with fashion look. The Alta is suitable for many people, including both man and woman, either being young or old, in elegant or sporty styles… Its features work exactly and provide user most of the necessary information, accept not having the heart rate monitor. But for those who does not need to track his heart rate, Alta maybe the very good choice for the daily activity tracker.

Shot twice, witness testifies to support fine for intimidators
They called him up to speak last. City Council chambers were about half full. He was nervous. "My name is Maurice Ragland," he began. "Four years ago, someone shot me in the head twice."
by By Mike Newall, Inquirer Staff Writer
They called him up to speak last. City Council chambers were about half full. He was nervous.
"My name is Maurice Ragland," he began. "Four years ago, someone shot me in the head twice."
Ragland, 45, was at Council on Wednesday for a public hearing on witness intimidation. It is something he knows about.
In September 2006, a drug dealer named Keith Davis shot him, leaving him for dead beneath a West Philadelphia streetlamp.
After recovering - one bullet scraped his skull; the other lodged in his neck - Ragland did something rare in Philadelphia: He testified.
During a March trial recounted in The Inquirer last week, Ragland described how Davis and his friends and family had tried to bribe and threaten him to keep quiet.
"Next time, they'll put more than two in your head," one of Davis' friends told him.
Davis got 25 to 50 years.
On Wednesday, Ragland testified at a Council hearing airing a proposal to fine people convicted of witness intimidation up to $2,000. The money would go into a fund to relocate witnesses who face threats.
Ragland, who has been sleeping in a Center City homeless shelter because no one knows him there, came forward to talk about the uncompromising realities victims face.
"People need to know," he said before the hearing.
At the time of the shooting, Ragland was a drug addict and a thief. He has since turned his life around. He attends drug rehab and works as a porter in a Lancaster Avenue restaurant. Monday was his birthday. His coworkers bought him a cake.
He's been planning on leaving Philadelphia to live with a relative as soon as his probation for a 2004 criminal-trespass conviction ends in October.
Others spoke first, including a woman who was relocated by the District Attorney's Office so she could testify against the man who raped her and four other women.
When it was Ragland's turn to speak, his arm began to shake. It's an effect of the shooting. Something that happens when he's nervous.
He told how Davis had called him from jail before the trial, threatening him. How the threats keep coming from others. How he's afraid for his mother, who lives in the neighborhood. How he believes it's only a matter of time before someone tries to kill him for having testified.
He said that he had been attending church, that his life was in God's hands. He said he was afraid.
"I'm worried about my life," he said.
"I don't have the answers on how to fix any of this," he continued. "But you all have to do something."
Councilman Bill Greenlee interrupted, thanking Ragland for his time. The committee voted to send the measure to Council for a vote and moved onto other issues.
Leland Kent, the Witness Relocation Coordinator for the District Attorney's Office who had also testified, stayed around.
He approached Ragland and shook his hand, telling him he was "inspired" by his testimony.
"We can offer you assistance," he told Ragland.
Ragland thanked him and excused himself, having to head to work. Kent said his office would work with Ragland's parole officer to get him transferred to another state. Then, if Ragland agrees not to return to his old neighborhood, victim services could pay for up to four months of Ragland's relocation expenses in a new city, so he can get on his feet, Kent said.
"He's a survivor and he had the courage to stand up," Kent said. "He should be commended for that."
Reached at work, Ragland was thrilled.
"This is good news," he said. "Tell the man I'll call him in the morning."

Asian Fintech promises a seamless and effective means mining with no need for technical knowledge.
As cryptocurrencies such as BitCoin and Ethereum continue to dominate the world finance, one can't help but ask how these cryptocurrencies work. The 2018 Malta Blockchain summit was an excellent way to find out more about the exciting innovations being proposed and learning more about cryptocurrencies, Blockchain and mining. Here at Blockchart we reached out to Asian Fintech who offers a unique and promising means for those interested in investing in Crypto Mining!
The world of cryptocurrencies is constantly expanding, who are Asian Fintech?
Could you tell us more about the Crypto Mining management platform?
At the moment investing in Crypto Mining requires a fair deal of technical knowledge and expensive technology, not to mention in most cases needing a large scale farm to even be profitable. Asian Fintech is developing a mining platform, which can be controlled over the internet from anywhere around the world. The Initial Coin Offering is based in Singapore and the way it works is that you can use the token from the ICO to purchase the mining rig. The Mining Rig itself will be based in Thailand which offers much more sustainable electrical solutions. The system itself provides users with a web dashboard from which you can choose what coin you'd like to mine and transfers the funds directly to your wallet. So there is no risk of the master wallet of the farm being hacked. It mines directly to your wallet. This is a new concept for the mining business.
One of the biggest things behind cryptocurrencies is mining. What is mining in a nutshell?
Cryptocurrencies use Blockchain technology, each Block in the chain is a list of data which needs to solved or mined. Think of mining Bitcoin like trying to guess the password for that Block. Computers can attempt to guess these passwords, for instance, one graphic card can guess the password at a rate of, say, 30 million times per second. If you correctly guess the password of that Block you gain (or mine) the reward for that Block individual Block.
For those interested in the world of BitCoin Mining Asian Fintech promises a seamless and effective means mining with no need for technical knowledge. By investing in Asian Fintech's ICO clients can use the token on these platforms and through the Crypto Mining Management platform they can mine BitCoin, Ethereum or other cryptocurrencies directly to their wallet. With the ability to control and manage mining from anywhere in the world, it is easy to see why Fintech and Afin are a rising star in the Asian market, and soon, in Europe!

Q: AngularJS orderBy percentages I have a table with a column such that I am trying to sort these percentages, but they are not being sorted as expected even though I have tried parseFloat and a few other methods of making sure angularjs (using 1.5.0) would successfully order them.
[
    {percentage: 8.82}
    {percentage: 0.00}
    {percentage: 11.36}
    {percentage: 21.88}
    {percentage: 25.74}
    {percentage: 22.22}
]

The two following screenshots show the two orders in which the percentages are sorted.

    {{p.percentage}}%

percentages comes from my nodejs server, where I create a percentage and use the toFixed(2) function, which returns a String. But I have tried then using parseFloat() on the String (both before and after it coming back from the server).
reverseSort is a boolean value in my controller that gets set on clicking of the column name.
orderByField is a string value set in similar fashion to reverseSort.
For @Loren who asked for the server code that returned by JSON (it is Typescript):
        for(let row of rows){
            row.percentage= parseFloat(((row.prop1/ (row.prop2 + row.prop1))* 100).toFixed(2));
        }

A: Using Angulars $filter('orderBy') you can sort by an objects property, in this case being the 'percentage'. See https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/filter/orderBy

var app = angular.module("myApp", []);

app.controller("myCtrl", function($scope, $http, $window, $timeout, $filter) {
 $scope.percentages = [
  {percentage: 8.82},
  {percentage: 0.00},
  {percentage: 11.36},
  {percentage: 21.88},
  {percentage: 25.74},
  {percentage: 22.22}
 ];

 $scope.sort = function(click) {
  if(click == true) {
   $scope.percentages = $filter('orderBy')($scope.percentages, 'percentage');
  }
                else {
                        $scope.percentages = $filter('orderBy')($scope.percentages, 'percentage', true);
                }
 }

});
.header:hover {
  cursor: pointer;

 }

   Percentage Failed

   {{data.percentage}}

A: How are you running parseFloat?
What about using something like this:
for (var i = 0; i < $scope.percentages.length; i++) {
    $scope.percentages[i].percentage =
        parseFloat($scope.percentages[i].percentage);
}

See:  https://plnkr.co/edit/cybPTR63KyCqzVT2bDRK?p=preview
I made your array strings beforehand since that is what you were getting from the server and then parse them into floats in JS.
You should run this code each time you fetch numbers from the server (ie after the first time and each subsequent time).  Also, make sure it runs after the results have been fetched (ie in the success callback) rather than right after the request since then it won't have any numbers yet.

Which day is Odin's day?
Tuesday comes from Old English "Tīwesdæg," after Tiw, or Tyr, a one-handed Norse god of dueling.
He is equated with Mars, the Roman war god..
The names for the days of the week in English seem to be a mixed bag. Saturday, Sunday and Monday are named after the celestrial bodies, Saturn, Sun and Moon, but the other days are named after Germanic gods, Tuesday (Tiw's day), Wednesday (Woden's day), Thursday (Thor's day) and Friday (Freya's day).
Lord GaneshaTuesday: Tuesday is dedicated to Lord Ganesha, Goddess Kali and Lord Hanuman. Those fasting avoid taking salty food. Devotees visit Hanuman and Devi shrines on this day donning red or orange coloured clothes.
Tuesday is named after Tiw, the Norse god of single combat, victory and glory, and Tiw is associated with Mars, the Roman god of war, hence the day being known as 'Mardi' in French, 'Martes' in Spanish and 'Martedi' in Italian. Tuesday is considered to be an unlucky day in the Greek and Spanish-speaking worlds.
The T-rune's name was "Tyr" (or, in earlier times, *Tiwaz, Tyr's older name). The rune has the shape of an arrow, which is probably connected to Tyr's role as a war god. But the arrow is pointing upward, as if toward the sky.
Similarly, Thursday originates from Thor's-day, named in honour of Thor, the god of thunder. Friday was derived from Frigg's-day, Frigg, the wife of Odin, representing love and beauty, in Norse mythology.
BrahmaWho is the father of Lord Shiva? Brahma, through whose temple Shiva appeared. In the material world, Lord Shiva showed up in this path as portrayed in the Srimad Bhagavatam. At the outset, Brahma made four extraordinary sages named Sanaka, Sananda, Sanatana and Sanat-kumara.
Worshipping Hindu Gods Based On Different Days Of The WeekSunday. Sunday is known as Raviwar in Hindi and this day is dedicated to Lord Surya (Sun). … Monday. Monday is referred to as Somwar in Hindi Language. … Tuesday. Tuesday is referred to as Mangalwar in Hindi language and is dedicated to Lord Hanuman. … Wednesday. … Thursday. … 6. Friday. … Saturday.
Described as an immensely wise, one-eyed old man, Odin has by far the most varied characteristics of any of the gods and is not only the man to call upon when war was being prepared but is also the god of poetry, of the dead, of runes, and of magic.
Then the remaining five days of the week are named after gods: Tuesday was named for the Germanic god of war, Tiu; Wednesday was named for Woden, the supreme creator among the Norse gods; Thursday was named for Thor, the Norse god of thunder; Friday was named for Frigga, the Norse goddess of marital love and the hearth …
The Romans bestowed the names of gods and goddesses on the five planets that could be seen in the night sky with the naked eye. Jupiter, the solar system's biggest planet, was named for the king of the Roman gods, while the reddish color of the planet Mars led the Romans to name it after their god of war.
Tuesday gets its name from the Anglo-Saxon's god of war Tiu, also known as Tyr to the Vikings. The Romans named their third day of the week after their god of war, Mars. That is why romantic languages like Spanish, French and Italian all have similar names for Tuesday: martes, mardi, and martedi.
GungnirIn Norse mythology, Gungnir (Old Norse "swaying one", possibly related to the obscure Danish verb "gungre", meaning "to tremble") is the spear of the god Odin.
The Babylonians, who lived in modern-day Iraq, were astute observers and interpreters of the heavens, and it is largely thanks to them that our weeks are seven days long. The reason they adopted the number seven was that they observed seven celestial bodies — the sun, the moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
WednesdayWednesday is the day third of the week according to the international standard ISO 8601, but some countries count it as the fourth day of the week. Norse god Odin kept ravens. Wednesday is the day between Tuesday and Thursday. It is named after Germanic god Wodan and the Norse allfather of the gods, Odin.
