FBI Field Office in White Plains, NY, Moving to Nearby Rye with More Employees
The FBI field office in White Plains, New York, is moving to a larger space in nearby Rye to make room for more personnel.
The Journal News reports the move is expected between mid-November and early December.
The office will continue to cover Westchester and Putnam counties, while maintaining it focus on counter-terrorism, white collar and criminal investigation squads.
The office is moving to 600 Midland Ave.
The FBI said it plans to have more employees in the new office, but didn't specify how many.
"It gives us easier access to the FBI if we need them, which isn't much, but even so, the police commissioner and the city are happy to have them in our community," said Rye City Manager Marcus Serrano.

Engineer Charged with Nuclear Espionage Claims FBI Tricked Him into an Interview
Szuhsiung "Allen" Ho
The FBI says Szuhsiung "Allen" Ho is the first person in the U.S. to be charged with nuclear espionage involving China.
But the engineer's attorney claims the FBI tricked him into an interview that may incriminate him, the Knoxville News Sentinel reports.
Ho was arrested in April at a hotel in Atlanta and changed with procuring American nuclear information for the Chinese government.
Ho, whose firm is Energy Technology International, was working to provide information in an alleged plot with Chinese General Nuclear Power.
"Ho repeatedly attempted to justify his situation, at which point agents reminded Ho he had preferred to speak with a lawyer and prohibited Ho from making incriminating statements," an FBI report stated.

Drug-Sniffing Border Patrol Dogs Help Find Nearly 100 Pounds of Meth
File photo of a Border Patrol agent.
Drug-sniffing dugs for the Border Patrol alerted agents to a massive amount of methamphetamine over the weekend near the El Centro Sector.
The Desert Sun reports more than a combined 100 pounds of meth was confiscated.
The first seizure came Saturday afternoon when a dog alerted agents to the car, which had nearly 43 pounds of meth, which has a street value of more than $170,000. Two U.S. citizens in their 20s were arrested.
On Sunday afternoon, another dog alerted agents to van. An inspection uncovered more than 55 pounds of meth. Two American citizen in their 30s were arrested.

Washington Post: More Research Needed to Reclassify Marijuana
The Drug Enforcement Administration made headlines last week for sticking to the status quo: The agency declined to change marijuana's classification under the Controlled Substances Act to a lower, less strictly regulated schedule.
Marijuana sits alongside heroin and LSD in the DEA's Schedule I category, reserved for the most dangerous substances. Schedule II drugs include narcotics such as methadone and oxycodone that are medically useful but have a high potential for harm. Advocates say the current classification of marijuana makes little sense: They cite studies that show pot can help patients manage pain without any serious risk of abuse. The only problem? The Food and Drug Administration has done studies of its own, and its experts do not agree.
There's one way to resolve the debate: more research. Until there is substantial evidence that marijuana does more to help than to hurt, the DEA is right not to reschedule the drug. The agency took a step in the right direction by allowing more places to grow marijuana for research on how the drug could treat chronic pain and diseases such as epilepsy.
But even with the rule change, most scientists who want to learn more about marijuana's effects will find themselves hamstrung. Schedule I drugs are not supposed to have medical benefits, so the rules governing them do not easily allow for clinical trials. That means researchers and the DEA are stuck: The DEA can't reclassify marijuana unless research proves its effectiveness, but scientists have a hard time doing research unless the DEA reclassifies marijuana.

DEA Misses Opportunity to Bring Rationality to Hemp Laws
By Ross Parker
Overlooked in the firestorm reaction to DEA's decisions last week declining to re-schedule marijuana was its decision not to alter the enforcement policy on industrial hemp cultivation and sale. To me this was a lost opportunity to bring some rationality and sense to one small part of the Cannabis quagmire which has resulted in the anomalous situation in which half the country has legalized pot for one purpose or another with the federal government continuing to consider it a Schedule I illegal substance.
I thought that the Acting Administrator's and the agency's decision on marijuana was a reasonable response. People think that keeping it in the highest schedule is an inflexible insistence that it belongs among the most dangerous drugs. It is not. It merely follows the Controlled Substance Act's definition that it has not been scientifically proven that it has a currently accepted medical use and poses an acceptable risk. The fact that 25 state legislatures have authorized its medical use is not sufficiently reassuring to me to ignore the recent preliminary studies that it can be a risk to health, particularly for the growing brains of adolescents and young adults.
DEA has authorized 354 individuals and institutions to conduct research on this question, and when that research produces some answers then the decision to re-schedule it can proceed. Meanwhile, federal law enforcement and prosecutors have been forced to walk the tightrope on enforcement particularly in states where its use is otherwise legal.
But I thought DEA whiffed it on the hemp decision. For those unfamiliar with hemp, it is a variety of Cannabis Sativa L and so, even though it has miniscule amounts of the psychoactive THC (below .3%), it was swept up by the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. Thus came the end of a long history of promising and profitable commercial and agricultural uses.
Versatile Hemp
Hemp was used in the Neolithic Age in China to make paper more than 10,000 years ago. Its hardy nature and versatility spread its cultivation until it became one of the most produced agricultural plants in the world. Its uses ranged widely from ropes on ships, clothing, food, and dozens of other products. It is claimed that Columbus's ships' riggings, the Gutenberg Bible, the paper on which the Declaration of Independence was written, and the first American flag were all made of hemp products. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were hemp farmers.
During World War II hemp was used to make uniforms and for other military products. The government considered it so important to the war effort that it produced a film entitled "Hemp for Victory" in 1942. Some irony there.
Today, 30 countries in the world still allow industrial hemp cultivation, and some, like France, Great Britain and Canada, report that in the last two decades it has made a resurgence and that today's hemp economy has increased by several times. Canadian farmers in particular would be unhappy if their southern neighbor lifted its prohibition. Hemp enthusiasts today claim that the product has an unlimited economic future. With climate change assaulting farmers all over the world, crop versatility becomes increasingly important to their futures as well.

Q: Barcode number representation I'm creating a barcode application and when I google to know about barcode I found something that I did not understand and it is the odd left, even left and right digits for example the EAN-13 barcode includes the following
OddLeft = new String[] { "0001101", "0011001", "0010011", "0111101",
                                          "0100011", "0110001", "0101111", "0111011",
                                          "0110111", "0001011" };

EvenLeft = new String[] { "0100111", "0110011", "0011011", "0100001",
                                           "0011101", "0111001", "0000101", "0010001",
                                           "0001001", "0010111" };

Right = new String[] { "1110010", "1100110", "1101100", "1000010",
                                        "1011100", "1001110", "1010000", "1000100",
                                        "1001000", "1110100" };

Where every string within the string array represents a number from 0 to 9.
How can decimal 0 equals "0001101" in odd left or "0100111" in even left or "1110010" in right. How did they calculate it?
I know the binary representation of decimal 0 and none of the 3 representations above represents a binary represetation of decimal 0.
I read about parity bits too and I found the none of the 3 representations above represents odd or even parity bits of decimal 0.
Is those representations above are standard fixed representation? or there is a way or a calcuation performed to obtain such representation?

A: See the zeroes and ones as black or white "modules". Every digit is represented by four bars of with 1 to 4 modules, for a total of 7 modules. There are also fixed bars, one module each.
Here is a complete code:

The Missing Ivory Puzzle
By Brendan Moyle • 04/02/2014
Poaching levels of African elephants have surged to an appalling level. Since 2007 the illegal traffic in ivory has more than doubled [1]. By 2011 the numbers of elephants killed annually was estimated to be 25,000 animals [1].
The increase in poaching is reflected in the seizure rates of raw ivory. This seizure metric is supported by evidence from shrinking wild populations and collation of kill reports [1],[2].
Figure 1: Raw Ivory Seizures
The challenge is to explain this dramatic surge in seizures. Why are over 20,000 elephants now being poached? Poaching levels accelerated in the late 2000s and the estimated volume of ivory trafficked has greatly increased. Has demand for ivory in a short space time increased by perhaps over double?
A popular view is the 2008 sale of ivory to China triggered a leap in demand for carvings [3],[4]. Nonetheless there is little evidence that demand and consumption has risen to match the volumes of ivory being smuggled [5].
"…The Secretariat saw little evidence of sufficient demand and consumption that might drive the indisputably significant smuggling levels. Surveys by NGOs, whilst wider-reaching that those of the Secretariat, also seem to show demand levels below what is being illegally-harvested and smuggled". CITES Secretariat, n22.
Another possibility is that it is being stockpiled for speculative motives. Ivory is extremely durable. It can be, and is, easily stored.
Figure 2: Tusks in Storeroom of Chinese Factory. Buckets of water are used to maintain humidity
Figure 3: Tusks from South Africa. Tusks come in 4 quality grades
One of the big obstacles to turning ivory into carvings for sale is the carving process. The process is still artisanal. Carvings aren't produced in some assembly-line process. It is still done by one carver, working usually by themselves. In China the system is based on apprentices learning how to carve ivory from more skilled carvers (masters) until they qualify. Factories are still small scale.
Figure 4: Ivory Carver. Electric tools were adopted in the 1990s.
Figure 5: Individual Workstations at a Factory
While we don't know how big the unregistered (and illegal) carving industry is in China, we know the legal goes through about 4-5 tons of elephant ivory annually. Numbers thrown out for the unregistered are 20 to 30 tons. Given seizures in China, that's probably in the right order of magnitude. There hasn't been a massive increase in the number of registered retail stores (136 to 145). The quantities of ivory seized from illegal sellers haven't been trending up. This is why the CITES Secretariat made the earlier observation. Yes, demand in China has gone up and that's part of a long term trend based on increasing affluence. But it hasn't gone up by a level that accounts for all the ivory being smuggled.
We know have annual seizures of approximating 40 tons of raw ivory. We don't know how much is getting through but presumable a lot more. Even a very conservative estimate would give us- for argument sake- an extra 100 tons every year. It's straining credibility to claim all of this is being churned out as carvings for sale in East Asian markets. The production process is far too slow to absorb these quantities.
Figure 6: Apprentice Carver
If you want to expand output, you need to hire and train new carvers. Officially it takes about 4-5 years to get past an apprentice status. Unofficially an apprentice can be carving simple but commercially valuable items in about 2 years. Again, this doesn't suggest production can rapidly and easily expand to meet the influx of ivory.
This suggests the popular view is basically wrong. It's more likely that most of the smuggled ivory is being stored for speculative reasons instead.

Resolved by Corporal Punishment 18: Jenna - DVD
Jenna got into trouble after being asked to leave a nightclub at closing time.
While mouthing-off to the bouncers during her exit, she shoved a pricey statue from it's pedestal, breaking it into pieces.
The bar owner filed a Small Claims Court case against Jenna. But she doesn't want to go in front of a judge. She'd rather have us pay off the bar owner, get the case cancelled, and bare her bottom for some strong, stinging spankings instead.
And that's just what she gets!
Watch as the attitude gets swatted out of this impudent little party girl. Her bottom is totally tanned over-the-knee, then is set aflame during a stunning, noisy paddling.
To finish the job properly, Jenna's ass is blasted with 30 strokes of a thick, bamboo cane, with the resulting welts turning it into a virtual washboard.
It's another great REAL LIFE spanking punishment delivered mercilessly to a genuinely deserving girl!

Q: refactorung arrays and objects in javascript I tray to transform array to array and object grouped by value. I have two cases, ned to get items like
items={{
'2012-05-22': [{title: 'item 1 - any js object', summary:'ttttt ddddd'}],
'2012-05-23': [{title: 'item 2 - any js object', summary:'ttttt ddddd'}],
'2012-05-25': [{title: 'item 3 - any js object', summary:'ttttt ddddd'}, {name: 'any js
 object', summary:'ttttt ddddd'}]
}}

items=[
   {
     title: 2012-05-22,
     data: [
         {title: 'Pilates ABC', summary:'ttttt ddddd'},
         {title: 'Vinyasa Yoga', summary:'ttttt ddddd'}
       ]
   },
   {
     title: 2012-05-21,
     data: [
         {title: 'Pilates ABC', summary:'ttttt ddddd'},
         {title: 'Vinyasa Yoga', summary:'ttttt ddddd'}
        ]
   },

My array looks like
 lists = [
  {
    date: "2020-12-21",
    summary: "event",
    title: "title",
  },
   {
    date: "2020-12-21",
    summary: "event 2",
    title: "title 2",
  },
  {
    date: "2020-12-22",
    summary: "event",
    title: "title",
   },
 ]

I try to reduce array, if have two identical dates get only one.
const reduce = lists.reduce((accc, currentItemm) => {
     const { date, ...coolItem } = currentItemm;
     accc[date] = [coolItem];
    return accc;
 }, {});

What is the simple and best way to refactoring array inti to new arrays - objects.

A:

lists = [{
        date: "2020-12-21",
        summary: "event",
        title: "title",
    },
    {
        date: "2020-12-21",
        summary: "event 2",
        title: "title 2",
    },
    {
        date: "2020-12-22",
        summary: "event",
        title: "title",
    },
]

const result1 = lists.reduce((acc, curr) => {
    const temp = {
        summary: curr.summary,
        title: curr.title
    };
    acc[curr.date] = acc[curr.date] ? acc[curr.date] = [temp, ...acc[curr.date]] : acc[curr.date] = [temp];
    return acc;
}, {});
console.log(result1)

const result2 = Object.keys(result1).map(item => {
    return {
        title: item,
        data: result1[item]
    }
})
console.log(result2)

Home Whistleblower of the Week
Bradley Charles Birkenfeld
Whistleblower and Gladiator in the Financial Arena
byJane Turner
in Whistleblower of the Week
Bradley Birkenfeld was born in February of 1965 in a household where his mother was a nurse/housewife, and his father was a neurosurgeon. He had two older brothers and remembers a childhood full of sports and friends in Brookline, Massachusetts. Both of Birkenfeld's parents were in the "giving industry." It used to be a prestigious job to help people back in the '60s and '70s in the medical profession, and Birkenfeld stated that seeing what his parents did to help others "resonated" with him.
Birkenfeld stated that parents have a more significant role in their child's life than they think. Sometimes that influence is subliminal, and other times it is right on the surface. Birkenfeld's parents were "very giving," which played a large and influential part of how Birkenfeld is today. He had an "excellent upbringing" and an outstanding education. Birkenfeld stated that he is not a religious person, and religion did not play a large part in who he is today.

Birkenfeld said that he saw his parents helping others all the time, and he feels he is "cut from the same cloth" as his parents. With two older brothers, Birkenfeld played physical sports like ice hockey and football and feels sports are vital in how you grow into a man. He had an innate feeling to help others, reflected by letters in his file throughout his banking career. Birkenfeld attended Thayer Academy, a prep school, then followed up at Norwich University in Vermont, graduating in 1988. He got his master's degree at the American Graduate School of Business at La Tour-de-Pilz, Switzerland. Birkenfeld still has friends from his school days.
Educated, sophisticated, and a bit of a raconteur, he took his economic degree, starting his banking career as a summer intern at State Street Bank and Trust in Boston. He was then promoted to a trader position for pension plans. It was State Bank that put Birkenfeld on his path as a whistleblower. He discovered irregularities in the banking procedures, and then fraud. But upon presenting the relevant documents to executives at the bank, they proceeded to fire him.
Birkenfeld took evidence of the currency transaction fraud at State Street Bank to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Still, he found the FBI agents' clueless' about the complexities of the banking industry. The FBI asked Birkenfeld to work with them, but he declined. Birkenfeld stated that during that time, the "FBI was protecting Whitey Bulger." The United States Attorney, who rejected the investigation, according to Birkenfeld, was Robert Mueller. Birkenfeld stated that he was "a young man who saw something wrong," and his "instinct" was to call it out.
Birkenfeld's next job was with Credit Suisse, a bank founded and based in Switzerland. He then transitioned to Barclays, where he established a client base, one client being billionaire real estate developer Igor Olenicoff. Birkenfeld left Barclays and went to UBS, a Swiss multinational investment bank and financial services company also founded and based in Switzerland. Birkenfeld's job at UBS was business development for the United States. He was to bring "rich Americans" into UBS, and he already had a head start by bringing Olenicoff and Olenicoff's $200 million account with him.
An American can have a bank account in Switzerland, but the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires that one must disclose the account and pay taxes. Bankers also must register with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the U.S. Birkenfeld stated that he was the only American on the American desk at UBS. He found that thousands of American clients ignored the IRS rules, and many UBS bankers were recruiting UBS clients in the United States without registering with the SEC.
Swiss bankers felt that protecting their clients' identities was a sacred trust. International banking law stipulates a separate group of clients, known as politically exposed people (PEP), who are treated with a higher degree of oversight to end international corruption. PEP is composed of government heads, judicial officials, military officials, political party officials and associates, and their family members. Although Birkenfeld did not sit in the PEP section at UBS, he could get the names of American PEP members.
Birkenfeld saw clients arriving at UBS with "millions of dollars in a suitcase." Birkenfeld did not question where the money came from, explaining he was a banker, not a policeman.
UBS was aware that many banks were chasing the same clients—billionaires and millionaires—and strove to make their meetings memorable. Establishing an "emotional connection" with the uber-wealthy is not easy; administrators at UBS ranked bankers on their success in this area. UBS gave detailed and explicit instructions to UBS bankers on protecting the identity of wealthy American clients.
Birkenfeld's time at UBS started ticking down after Birkenfeld's colleague alerted him to a document posted on an internal server at UBS that gave instructions for private bankers. The document, never mentioned previously to Birkenfeld, was a set of instructions that appeared to be the opposite of what UBS executives were instructing. Birkenfeld took a copy of the policies and confronted his supervisor, who told him not to rock the boat. After that conversation, Birkenfeld copied and kept UBS documents. These documents detailed UBS's illegal practices in their servicing of high-income Americans who were engaged in tax fraud.
Birkenfeld quit his "million dollar" job at UBS on October 5, 2005, and took a job as Partner at Union Charter Ltd, Geneva, Switzerland, in wealth management. In December of 2006, the United States Congress signed a new bill (Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006) into law which gave whistleblowers monetary awards for information regarding tax fraud:
(b) Awards to Whistleblowers-
(1) IN GENERAL- If the Secretary proceeds with any administrative or judicial action described in subsection (a) based on information brought to the Secretary's attention by an individual, such individual shall, subject to paragraph (2), receive as an award at least 15 percent but not more than 30 percent of the collected proceeds (including penalties, interest, additions to tax, and additional amounts) resulting from the action (including any related actions) or any settlement in response to such action. The determination of the amount of such award by the Whistleblower Office shall depend upon the extent to which the individual substantially contributed to such action.
In 2007, Birkenfeld approached the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) with "memos, PowerPoint presentations, and accounting papers" regarding UBS. Birkenfeld stated that UBS "was dead in the water," as he had the goods on them regarding tax fraud. Birkenfeld felt that right from the start, the DOJ was hostile toward him. One DOJ official thought he was merely a tipster, not a whistleblower. Birkenfeld wanted a subpoena to provide information to the DOJ, but they rebuffed him. Birkenfeld said, "It was a whistleblower who revealed the largest tax fraud in the world, where was the IRS, the Federal Reserve?" Birkenfeld answers his own question, saying, "They are in bed together."
Birkenfeld stated that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had secret offshore accounts at UBS. Birkenfeld regrets he did not keep the dossier on the CIA. Birkenfeld noted that he does not think the DOJ "likes whistleblowers." He feels the DOJ wanted to indict him, so he "would not be paid as a whistleblower." Birkenfeld provided information regarding tax fraud, extortion, bribery, corruption, and terrorist activities to the DOJ, and they treated him poorly. He feels that the U.S. government enables and protects wealthy and powerful American politicians, movie stars, and industry heads to break the law.
Birkenfeld went to the DOJ and asked for immunity or a subpoena because he would go to jail in Switzerland if he provided information without protection. The DOJ wanted Birkenfeld to give up names but would not give him a subpoena. Birkenfeld provided names to the U.S. Senate, but the DOJ continued in their persecution of Birkenfeld.
Birkenfeld worked at Union Charter LTD until June of 2008 and wanted the protection of a subpoena, but the DOJ would not provide one. The DOJ's refusal resulted in their indictment of Birkenfeld for not providing enough information. He was arrested in June 2008 as he returned from Switzerland to attend his high school reunion in Boston. Birkenfeld had already talked to the IRS, DOJ and the SEC, also appearing before the Senate. Birkenfeld's law team at Kohn, Kohn and Colapinto, who only represented him in his IRS whistleblower claim, not his criminal case, noted that it would be a severe disincentive if whistleblowers could be tripped up by inadvertently leaving out some information the government found out about later. Most importantly, Birkenfeld was still working in Switzerland as a banker, and it put him in serious jeopardy if the DOJ did not provide cover via a subpoena.
Birkenfeld pled guilty to one count of conspiracy and was sentenced in a federal court in Florida in 2009. The prosecutor for the DOJ said in federal court: "I will say that without Mr. Birkenfeld walking into the door of the Department of Justice in the summer of 2007, I doubt as of today that this massive fraud scheme would have been discovered by the United States government."
Birkenfeld was sentenced to thirty months in prison and released in August of 2012. After spending 20 months in home confinement, one month in community confinement, and three months in post-prison home confinement, Birkenfeld asked a federal judge to end or modify his parole terms so he could leave the U.S. The DOJ opposed early termination.
Birkenfeld's disclosures have been global in nature. Banks have paid billions in penalties. The IRS offered a series of programs allowing Americans to reveal their secret offshore accounts or pay hefty penalties. In 2010, Congress passed a law that forces banks to disclose accounts held offshore by Americans. Birkenfeld changed the financial world. In 2014, a report by the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations slammed the DOJ for their investigation of Birkenfeld and a lack of follow-through.
Birkenfeld stated that "100% he would do it again." He advises whistleblowers that they should, "1. Talk to other whistleblowers, 2. Get good legal counsel, and 3. Find someone you trust in the media who can present your facts anonymously."
When Birkenfeld got out of jail, his lawyer Stephen Kohn, flew to New Hampshire with the IRS check. Birkenfeld described Kohn as a "diminutive guy with wiry grey hair, glasses, and always an optimistic grin; he was smart as they come and feisty as a pit bull. The only lawyer still on my side was Kohn, and he wasn't getting paid." Kohn was convinced the government owed Birkenfeld a "fat reward" and was "going to die trying."
When Kohn presented Birkenfeld with his $104 Million award, they both looked at each other and just smiled.
Currently, Birkenfeld is living in Malta, helping other whistleblowers and the underprivileged.

SEC Grants Two Whistleblower Awards Totaling Over $2.5 Million
Jane Turner
Jane Turner is a whistleblower and highly decorated 25-year veteran Special Agent within the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The first woman named the head of an FBI resident agency, Turner led the FBI's highly successful programs to combat crimes against women and child sex crime victims on North Dakota Indian Reservations. She won awards for successfully investigating significant crimes on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. Federal prosecutors described her as the leading FBI agent solving child crimes in the entire United States. In retaliation for her efforts, Turner was removed from her position by the FBI. Years later, Turner would win a historic decision for all FBI whistleblowers, when the court held that Ms. Turner set forth sufficient facts to justify a trial by a jury. Turner also successfully challenged her retaliation in federal court and obtained the largest compensatory damage award permitted under the law for federal employees. Since becoming a whistleblower advocate, Turner has served as the Chair of the Whistleblower Leadership Council at the National Whistleblower Center and is a member of its board of directors. Turner's weekly column, Whistleblower of the Week, highlights the stories of whistleblowers who have stood up to massive corruption, fraud, and abuse. Whistleblower of the Week columns will take an in-depth look at the experiences of those who blew the whistle and the realities of what it means to be a whistleblower.

"Despite Japan's modernity and efficiency; age-old rituals are still very much embedded within the culture"
Everywhere we ventured in Japan, we could not help but notice that everyone walked with a purpose. Like New York City, there is a hustle and grind attitude found in Tokyo, although with one clear difference. This difference is that despite Japan's modernity and efficiency; age-old rituals are still very much embedded within the culture.
It is common courtesy for all walks of Japanese life to express gratitude with a bow. Albeit the expressiveness of the act depends on the level of appreciation and emotion, nonetheless, it is a well-practiced norm. Another practiced action is to give and receive goods or gifts with two hands. We were happy to participate!
A local told us that after 7PM the Japanese love to celebrate the evenings. Our exploration of the Shibuya district, a major fashion hub of Tokyo and the location of the famous "scramble" certainly proved his statement to be true. Locals and tourists crowded the streets; the sound of laughter and eager friends greeting each other were heard amongst the city's noise. We walked through one of the many alleyways of Tokyo; the glow from neon lights illuminated our passage through the city. The windows of storefronts displayed carefully curated products, even the ramen noodle eateries showcased plastic models of their most popular dishes – this was to help the hungry tourists like us.
We stopped for a drink at JBS "Jazz Blues Soul" Bar, where the 65-year old Mr. Kobayashi-san has amassed a collection of over 10,000 vinyl records. Dionne Warwick's song "Walk On By" echoed softly in the stairwell as we walked up to the door. The space itself is really tight, a short bar, a few stools and two small tables offer seating. His vinyl records surrounded us and are neatly stocked in shelves. If you request a hip-hop song, he will play it for you, then follow up with the sample used for that song. It is amazing to know that within Tokyo's fast paced environment there is a space that keeps nostalgia alive.
Some people tend to shy away from the rain because the gloom and greyness it brings but in Tokyo, they seem to embrace it. Their plastic umbrellas are see-through, which allows whatever light the sun decides to share in. The clear umbrellas served to us as a metaphor to always look at the bright side, even when it rains.
Despite the rain Tokyo's sneakerheads wore their kicks, we saw bright colourways of New Balance, adidas, and Nike worn with clean topcoats layered with knits, finished with ripped denim. Boots was also a common sight; we spotted classic wheat Timberlands, Dr. Martens and Red Wing Heritage on both genders. An interesting trend we spotted is that the stylish men kept large wallets exposed in their back pockets.
Another particularly striking feature of Japanese culture is the adoption of Americana in their fashion. Clothing brands like Visvim and its designer Hiroki Nakamura has been heavily influenced by American workwear. Some would even argue that they do it better and we are inclined agree.
Most notably, jewelry maker Goro Takahashi, whose love for Native American culture is immortalized in all his hand crafted pieces. We had the honour of visiting his shop in Harajuku with his daughter, Erica.
After you walked up the unevenly formed steps, you will be transported to the shop that Goro himself worked inside for years. The stories about the brand are very true and very real. His love for his craft lives on in the shop.
The store, located close to the Harajuku district, evokes an air of Americana in Tokyo, from wall to wall; floor to ceiling, Native American artifacts accents the space. The shop is small; approximately 300 square feet and the walls are adorned with his handmade leather bags, accessories and jewelry.
In our conversation with his daughter, she spoke about her father's love and dedication to his craft. She told us a that one time he stepped outside his shop to speak to the patrons waiting in line, asking what were their favourite pieces and why. He even found it too cold outside for them and planted a tree to help block the wind. It was a true honour to be invited into the shop and leave with a few pieces.
We beat the jet lag one morning and ventured out to visit the world's biggest wholesale fish and food market, the Tsukiji market. The market opens most mornings (except Sundays, holidays and some Wednesdays) at 3AM to accept the shipments of tons of produce.
After the fish is inspected by the orate gyōsha (wholesalers) the auctions begin at 5AM and last about 2 hours, with bidding can only be done by licensed participants. The purchased produce then makes its way into their respective shops, some of which are inside the market. With certain restrictions, the public can watch the events of the auctions unfold. There is a maximum limit of 120 visitors per day on a first-come, first-serve basis. Tourists may visit the market daily between 5AM and 6:15AM. The market is the busiest between 5:30AM and 8AM, many shops start to close around 11AM, and the market closes for cleaning around 1PM. Visitor entry into the interior wholesale markets is prohibited until after 9 AM.

This consultation concerns commonly kept smaller birds listed on Part 1 Schedule 3 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and does not apply to game birds.
Schedule 3 birds can be sold if they meet certain requirements e.g. are ringed. Some birds not listed on Schedule 3 can be sold by people relying on a general licence, issued by the relevant national licensing authority, if certain conditions are met.
For other birds sale is only allowed by an individual licence issued by the relevant national licensing authority.
This may happen if a bird has been bought in another EU Member State for onward sale in the UK and does not meet the requirements of the regulations for that species.
Concerns have been raised that the current regulation of trade in these captive-bred birds needs reform, as it may restrict trade in captive-bred birds imported into the UK from other European Member States.
This consultation provides three options which could resolve these concerns. It also asks for information on a number of other issues relating to trade in captive bred birds which will be used to inform future policy.
Natural England have made a press release on the current Consultation / Review of the General Licences.
The Bird Council Committee is reviewing these potential changes & formulating its reply.
The RSPCA Trustees have, under pressure from various sources, commissioned an independent review of the charity's prosecution activities.
This reviewer is requesting submissions from any persons concerned with the charity's policy.
breeding and exhibiting captive bred British and European native bird species.
As an organisation we do not condone any illegal activities associated with aviculture particularly with regard to the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act. Our objectives have always been to educate in the pursuit of aviculture.
In the past we had regular contact with the RSPCA, however since the time when the RSPCA announced they were totally opposed to the captive keeping and breeding of British birds, and they become increasingly concerned with bringing private prosecutions against aviculturists, the relationship has been strained and almost non-existent.
The BBC along with the International Ornithological Association (IOA) issue closed metal rings to aviculturists which are fitted to the legs of recently hatched birds to show they have been bred in captivity.
This is in accordance with the legislation contained in the 1981 Act and agreed with DEFRA. Each ring is individually marked and records are kept as to who the rings were issued together with their address, this information is kept within our office on computer hardware.
have always fully cooperated and passed this information over.
at times issue cautions although these of course have no legal standing but nonetheless intimidate those aviculturists who are unaware that the RSPCA have no legal standing whatsoever.
I cannot over emphasise this last point which is that employees of the RSPCA do not have any special legal powers, they are no different to the average man in the street i.e. merely members of the public.
They dress in uniforms similar to Police and call themselves Inspector or Chief Inspector but they are, all the same, just an ordinary member of the public.
pursue private prosecutions and to further their own political agenda, this is outrageous.
which in the case of the BBC is to stop the legitimate keeping of British birds in captivity for its own ideology even though there is no cruelty involved.
defending such actions, some members of the BBC and IOA simply plead guilty as they cannot afford to challenge the resources of the RSPCA in court.
limited resources of the Police in pursuing such low priority crime which they are quite happy to see the RSPCA pursuing as it saves their resources for other crime. They have stepped over the threshold with regards to their charitable status and if they wish to continue in this vain then they should set out their agenda clearly to their donors, be stripped of their charitable status and also be treated as any other member of the public by the Police and other government bodies.

Edit: Turns out this is basically what the trailer does but for the voice over!! And it's kinda like Star Wars.
Edit 2: Stephen Lang is confirmed as doign the voice over for the start of the movie, so we called it!
We really hope that it begins as it does on the very first page of the original book. We know that Peter Jackson and Christian Rivers will no doubt change things up (Reeve's has actually confirmed this) but there is something magical about that first line of the novel:
"It was a dark, blustery afternoon in spring, and the city of London was chasing a small mining town cross the dried-out bed of the old North Sea."
It's become quite a famous first line. We recently learned that it was in part inspired by the George Orwell book, 1984.
What we really, really want though is for Stephen Lang to narrate the line over the actual scene as his character Shrike.
There's precedent for an opening narration as Cate Blanchett did one for The Fellowship of the Ring and practically the whole of The Lovely Bones was narrated by Saoirse Ronan.
The reason for the character of Shrike doing this would be to allow the movies to come full circle like they do in the novels.
Spoilers for those who haven't read a book that came out in 2006.
The fourth and final adventure in the Mortal Engines series is called A Darkling Plain. It is a grand tale of adventure which ends with the Shrike telling the tale of life. He begins the tale by reciting the first line of the original novel. It's a nice literary twist in the tale and a touching moment that draws the story to an emotional close.
It would be amazing to think that if the Mortal Engines film series is able to get to 4 films (17 if we know Jackson) that it finishes in a similar vein.
2 comments a darkling plain, it was a dark and stormy night, lord of the rings, the lovely bones

I've been thinking about this of late, as the final book is possibly my favourite - so I'm really hoping they get there. As it stands, the "completion of the circle" works as a wonderful surprise on the page, but if they use Stephen Lang as a narrator it will somewhat spoil the ending. (An aside: If he's filming Avatar sequels for the next decade or so, where does this leave potential ME sequels?). I guess he could do it in his own voice (I assume he'll have a SHRIKE VOICE) but it's too recognisable.
My suggestion: ME - text intro (possibly a vaguely "robotic" font), dissolve to the chase; DP - Shrike speaking, dissolve to same shot.
Note to PJ & CR: If this has helped, tickets to the UK premiere or one of those sweet crew Gerbers would be cool.
That would work for readers of the book... but I'm thinking there will a great 'unwashed' out there who will not have a clue as to the ending. They could def do a Lang voice / shrike split..... And Avatar is being filmed in NZ so Lang may as well move to NZ!!!

Q: Why is the variable 'loan' not being recognized? In public Amortization I declared the variable loan, but in calcPayment the variable isn't being recognized. I would just use loanBalance but we need both loanBalance and loanAmount
import java.io.*;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;

public class Amortization {
    private double loanAmount; // holds the amount of the loan
    private double interestRate; // holds the interest rate
    private double loanBalance; // holds the monthly balance
    private double term; // utilized in order to calculate the monthly payments
    private double payment; // holds the cash amount of the monthly payments
    private int loanYears; // holds the number of years in the loan

    public Amortization(double loan, double rate, int years) {
        loanAmount = loan;
        loanBalance = loan;
        loanYears = years;
        calcPayment();

    }

    private void calcPayment() {
        term = Math.pow((1+interestRate/12),(loanYears*12));
        payment = (loan * (interestRate/12) * term)/(term - 1);

    }

}

I went back into public Amortization and typed out the variable 'loan' and it was recognized

A: You have the variable not created. You have it as parameter of the constructor where you are using it to initialize other variables.
Solution: if you want it as a new variable, just create it.

The Significance of a Distinction Between a Sexual Act and a Sexual Identity
Nirvana Fairbanks, Portland State University
Gender identity -- Cross-cultural studies, Sex (Psychology), Sex differences (Psychology)
This paper describes the distinction between a sexual act and a sexual identity as seen in different cultural contexts with regard to male homosexuality. It describes differences in how homosexual behavior is interpreted culturally. It discusses how more value is placed on certain sexual acts while there is less focus on a sexual identity and vice versa. For example, in Latin American culture, if two men are sexually involved with one another, it is the acts they perform that dictate how they are viewed, rather than the fact that they are two men engaging in sex together. In Western culture, if two men are engaging in sex together, they are automatically assumed to be gay, regardless of the sexual acts they are performing. In some situations, the focus is on specific sexual acts, rather than how a person identifies themselves. If a person is known to perform certain sexual acts, they may be stigmatized simply for performing those acts, rather than for the gender of the person they are engaging in sexual activity with. It explores the intriguing dynamic between sexual act and sexual behavior that allows them to coexist at times as independent of one another. Under certain circumstances, a person can engage in homosexual behavior without being viewed as homosexual by others because of masculine sexual acts he performs. This happens as a result of cultural perceptions of masculinity and femininity. In short, sexual act and sexual identity have very different significance depending on the circumstance and the individual.

His works, mainly expository and polemical, have not been collected.

The budget demonstrated at once its author's absolute mastery over figures and the persuasive force of his expository gift.
One of the expository discourses of John Knox (1505-1572), we are told, was of more power to awaken his hearers than a blast from "five hundred trumpets."
Robertson's published works include five volumes of sermons, two volumes of expository lectures, on Genesis and on the epistles to the Corinthians, a volume of miscellaneous addresses, and an Analysis of "In Memoriam."
As the chief authority of their tenets, the Nimavats recognize the Bhagavata-purana; though several works, ascribed to Nimbarka - partly of a devotional character and partly expository of Vedanta topics - are still extant, Adherents of this sect are fairly numerous in northern India, their frontal mark consisting of the usual two perpendicular white lines, with, however, a circular black spot between them.
He was an eloquent preacher, but his reputation rests chiefly on his expository works, which are said to have had a larger circulation both in Europe and America than any others of their class.
(a pamphlet expository of his opinions), the Runnymede Letters, a Vindication of the British Constitution, and other matter of less note.

Apart, however, from these pseudo-revelations the Theosophical Society has given rise to an extensive literature, some of which displays a high degree of argumentative and expository ability; and moreover the movement has from time to time attracted the attention and secured the co-operation of many earnest seekers, of some few of whom it can be truly said that they possessed undoubted spiritual power, insight and knowledge.
Tested by the power and effect of his teaching influence, Cousin occupies a foremost place in the rank of professors of philosophy, who like Jacobi, Schelling and Dugald Stewart have united the gifts of speculative, expository and imaginative power.
(3) Expository and homiletical works, including the Hexaemeron, and several series of discourses On the Workmanship of Man, On the Inscriptions of the Psalms, On the Sixth Psalm, On the first three Chapters of Ecclesiastes, On Canticles, On the Lord's Prayer and On the Eight Beatitudes.
Including discourses taken down from his lips by faithful auditors, we have from him expository comments or homilies on nearly all the books of Scripture, written partly in Latin and partly in French.
Menegoz in Expository Times, xv.
From the end of Mr Chamberlain's series of expository speeches on his scheme of tariff reform, onwards during the various fiscal debates and discussions of 1904, it is unnecessary to follow events in detail.
Fuller also published an admirable Memoir of the Rev. Samuel Pearce, of Birmingham, and a volume of Expository besides a considerable number of smaller pieces, chiefly sermons and pamphlets, which were issued in a collected form after his death.
John Wesley made great use of it in compiling his Expository Notes upon the New Testament (1755) Besides the two works already described, Bengel was the editor or author of many others, classical, patristic, ecclesiastical and expository.
2 In course of time the exposition of the lesson for the day came more frequently to assume a more elaborate character, and to pass into the category of a Aoyos or even OtXoo-ocNa or OtXoa04nj a; but when it did so the fact was as far as possible denoted by a change of name, the word op. Xla being reserved for the expository or exegetical lecture as distinguished from the pulpit oration or sermon.
Among his longer works are Christian Leaders of the Eighteenth Century (1869), Expository Thoughts on the Gospels (7 vols., 1856-69), Principles for Churchmen (1884).

Google Chrome 6, Everything You Need To Know
By Austin
When Chrome was first released with Version 1, it wasn't much to look at. Now 2 years and 5 versions later, the improvements are astounding. Chrome has really come out of the woodwork offering stability, performance, security, and a huge variety of features. Version 6 is an overall improvement over all of the things that we already loved about Chrome, so what exactly is this new version packing?
User Interface Updates
Chrome 6 has a new look, and it might not be huge and noticeable but there are quite a few little things and they are worth counting.
The little "Go" arrow in the address bar has been toasted, and now there is a star there to quickly bookmark your favorite pages.
Print Selection has been fixed in Chrome 6 for Windows, we're still awaiting User Interface support for this in the Mac and Linux version.
Remember that old page icon next to the wrench on the toolbar? It's gone! All the features that were in the page icon were either streamlined or moved into the wrench menu. Okay.. I know it's actually called the "Customize and Control Google Chrome" menu, but wrench just rolls off the tongue a little better. With this change, the wrench bar itself has also been streamlined and is easier to use.
Improved Sync
Chrome extensions now have the ability to sync across multiple machines. You'll never have to worry about hunting down and reinstalling all of your favorite extensions ever again, despite how many different computers you might use.
Browsing history for commonly visited sites will also sync to the cache across multiple computers. This is supposed to increase page loading speed, but really only helps those on an extremely slow connection.
Of course Chrome already had the capability to sync your bookmarks, but now it will also sync the new AutoFill data and other preferences.
AutoFill is a feature that's new to Chrome, though it has been around for a long time in Internet Explorer and Firefox. Chrome will offer to save any addresses you might enter into online forms, and it will even save credit card information. Of course it will ask your permission before doing so and the actual card number only displays the last 4 digits after it's input. There is one big thing missing however, Chrome has a huge personal security hole and this feature just ripped it a little wider. It needs a master password.
You probably saw this one coming. With every version of Chrome, Google has slowly been pushing faster and faster with their performance. Below are the SunSpider and V8 Benchmarks, both of which are based on JavaScript. Chrome might just be the fastest javascript processing browser available now, but it still lacks a few other features such as full-screen HTML5 video.
Chrome has a master password?
The password manager and now financial AutoFill information desperately need a "master password" to help keep things secure for those who might have or gain access to your computer. But does Google Chrome have one? Not yet.
In the Google support forum over 1000 people have responded to this need and I really hope that Google will wake up soon and incorporate this simple but powerful feature in at least version 7 of Chrome. In the mean time I won't be saving my credit cards or passwords to Chrome.
With the new version 6 of Google Chrome, Google has really made the browser simple, clean, and user-friendly. I can't yet say that it is "better" than Firefox, but it is well on the way to attaining rival status. Note than Chrome is now being used by 7.2% of world-wide internet users.
1upMushroom
I have to agree with you on the master password feature. Chrome doesn't have one, yet it is trying to manage our passwords? What kind of password manager doesn't have a master password to lock everything up!? "Wake up Google" indeed.
I'm-a-Taco
I'm enjoying version 6. I noticed a HUGE bug though.
If you are doing a search on Google.com it FORCES you to use suggested search options. I mean the box just doesn't even disappear until you click a suggestion or click search, it's really bad!

Plaintiff manufacturer appealed from the judgment of dismissal of plaintiff's action requesting a declaratory judgment regarding the right of plaintiff to continue to manufacture and sell fans and other noninfringing products after termination of an agreement with defendant patent owner without the payment of further sums to defendant.
Plaintiff manufacturer and defendant patent owner entered into a contract under which defendant conveyed to plaintiff patents and equipment for the making of fans and other products and plaintiff agreed to pay defendant license fees based on the net sales of the products. Plaintiff filed an action seeking a declaration of the rights of the parties in order to avoid the possible accrual of avoidable damages if plaintiff exercised its right to terminate the contract and continue to sell the fans and equipment. Plaintiff then appealed the dismissal of its action. In concluding that no controversy existed, the district court noted that plaintiff had not yet given notice of termination and perhaps would never do so.
The court reversed the dismissal and held that where there was an actual controversy over contingent rights, a declaratory judgment could be granted.
Once the notice of termination was given, it was beyond recall.
The dispute between the parties concerned the right of plaintiff to continue business if that contingency happened.
After bringing the contingency to pass, it would have been too late to avoid an action for damages if plaintiff continued the business.
The court reversed the judgment of dismissal of plaintiff manufacturer's action requesting a declaratory judgment regarding the right of plaintiff to continue to manufacture and sell fans and other noninfringing products after termination of an agreement with defendant patent owner, because there was an actual controversy over contingent rights, thus, a declaratory judgment could be granted.

7TH GLOBAL FORUM OF THE UN ALLIANCE OF CIVILIZATIONS: BEST WAY TO KNOW EACH OTHER
upa-admin 29 Nisan 2016 1.337 Okunma 0
25-27 April Azerbaijan hosted 7th Global Forum of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC). This international event has a significant role to play for Azerbaijan.
First of all, the UNAOC started in 2005 by the initiative of former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, and financially supported by the governments of Spain and Turkey. The previous Global Forums of the UNAOC were held in: Madrid (2008), Istanbul (2009), Rio de Janeiro (2010), Doha (2011), Vienna (2013) and Bali (2014).
The UNAOC aims to reach a more peaceful and socially inclusive world, by building mutual respect among people of different cultural and religious identities, and highlighting the will of the world's majority to reject extremism and embrace diversity.
Based on the principles of the UN Charter and the priorities of the UN Secretary-General, UNAOC works in four areas as Education, Youth, Migration, and Media to reduce cross-cultural tensions and to build bridges between communities.
Regarding its objectives, we can underline contact and dialogues between governmental, intergovernmental, and non-governmental stakeholders and interventions to defuse religious and cultural tensions by mobilizing third parties that can act as forces of moderation and understanding such as religious leaders, grassroots organizations, youth and women leaders.
"Living Together In Inclusive Societies: A Challenge and A Goal" was the theme of the 7th Global Forum. If we observe what happens in our today's world, we can see clearly that over the past few years, the world has witnessed a staggering rise in violent extremism, religious intolerance and radicalization. Several extremist groups in different countries tried to extend their perverted interpretations of the holy texts and their intolerant messages. As a result, world community risks shared values of peace, justice and human dignity. At the same time, large numbers of migrants and refugees, led to increasing nativist and xenophobic rhetoric.
From this point of view, choosing Azerbaijan for this event is not by accident. Indeed, Azerbaijan dynamically developing country that is building a modern secular state, based on strong cultural traditions, as the host country, serves as a model of a country where people have been living inclusively together for centuries. The historical tolerance of Azerbaijan's people, the political leadership of President Ilham Aliyev, and Azerbaijan's location between Eastern Europe and Western Asia have combined to foster an environment where people of various religions and ethnicities have lived together in mutual respect and harmony for national development.
Indeed, currently there are more than 649 registered religious communities in the Republic of Azerbaijan, among which 37 are non-Islamic ones.
Azerbaijan has 13 functioning churches. The building of the Jen Mironosets Church (the building was built by Hadji Zeynalabdin Tagiyev in 1907) was granted to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1991. Aleksi II, the Patriarch of Whole Russia who was on a visit in Azerbaijan in May 2001 granted the status of a church to this temple. Currently the number of the Russian Orthodox Churches is three in Baku, one in Gandja and one in Khachmaz.
The catholic community was registered in Azerbaijan in 1999. A special building for the conduction of religious ceremonies was purchased for the community and it became a church in 2000. According to the agreement between the Azerbaijani Government and Vatican the Roman Catholic Church has been constructed in 2007 in Baku.
The Albanian-Udi religious community was registered in 2003. The Albanian Church which was built in Kish, Shaki and is considered one of the oldest temples in the Caucasus, as well as the whole world was reconstructed and put under operation in 2003.The opening ceremony of the Albanian –Udi Chotari church was held in May, 2006 in Nidj district, Gabala, the location area of Saint Elisey, ancient Albanian church.
While Armenia occupied Azerbaijanian lands and destroyed its cultural heritagee, at the center of the Baku, Azerbaijan preserved the religious heritage of Armenian people. The Armenian Church was restored, and it is situated where it was built.
It is more than 2500 years that the Jews have settled in Azerbaijan. They have never undergone religious intolerance or discrimination in our country. Currently 6 Jewish religious communities are registered here. Today there are 7 synagogues functioning in Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan contributes also to the world heritage. Restoration of Roman catacombs, Strasbourg Cathedral Church, ancient masterpieces in Versailles (Paris), Capitolini Museum (Roma), Louvre Museum (Paris), Trapezitsa Museum (Bulgaria) etc. by Heydar Aliyev Foundation are typical example for these kind activities.
Azerbaijan is also well-known for its capacity to organize international events at very high level. Since 2011 Azerbaijan has hosted the World Forum on Intercultural Dialogue, in partnership with UNAOC, UNESCO, UN World Tourism Organization, Council of Europe and ISESCO. Through this initiative known as the "Baku process", Azerbaijan acknowledges the power of intercultural dialogue and demonstrates that such meetings bring all people closer and create the conditions for positive intercultural and inclusive relations. At the same time, hosting the first ever European Games in 2015, Azerbaijan will conduct the Islamic Solidarity Games in 2017.
In brief, Azerbaijan's experience, despite challenges, is an example of a country moving forward to substantive progress through inclusion and an excellent model to reach the three major pillars of the United Nations: peace and security, human rights, and development.
This exceptional quality and role were recognized by all Forum participants.
Azerbaijanian President Ilham Aliyev mentioned that Azerbaijan is not only a geographic bridge between East and West, but also a cultural bridge. For centuries, representatives of religions, cultures lived in peace and dignity in Azerbaijan. Religious tolerance, multiculturalism – were always present here. There was no word – multiculturalism, but the ideas were always present.
Underlining the role of multiculturalism, President Aliyev noted: "As I said, more than 140 countries are present here. Multiculturalism has no alternative. We all know that there are different ideas about different views of multiculturalism – failed, or some that did not work, but there are positive examples. For us, multiculturalism is a state policy, and is our lifestyle. And looking at the alternatives, what are the alternatives of multiculturalism? Very dangerous alternatives – xenophobia, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, racism, discrimination, hatred".
Azerbaijan's first lady, president of Heydar Aliyev Foundation, goodwill ambassador of UNESCO and ISESCO, Mehriban Aliyeva expressed that Baku forum will contribute to constructive dialogue, strengthen mutual understanding.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in his video message appreciated the hospitality of President Ilham Aliyev, government of Azerbaijan and the city of Baku.
UN High Representative for the Alliance of Civilizations Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser said they could not dream of a better venue than the city of Baku to hold this Forum.
ISESCO Director General Abdulaziz Othman Altwaijri told that Azerbaijan is very major player in international scene, which is promoting dialogue between cultures and working for peace and security in the world.
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called Azerbaijan as historical center of civilizations.
Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo y Marfil qualified Baku as a route through which many new people, many ideas and cultures meet again.
For Spain's former Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, Baku is an ideal place for holding the 7th Global Forum of the UN Alliance of Civilizations.
Member of French National Assembly Jean-Luc Reitzer presented tolerance as symbol of Azerbaijan.
Here is the importance of this event- those who know already all those qualities of Azerbaijan will be sure one more time and those who are new will have a great opportunity to discover this beautiful country and this great nation.
This event will also allow the participants to discover also the sad realties about Azerbaijan.
The illegal military occupation by the neighboring Republic of Armenia of almost 20 percent of the internationally recognized historic territories of Azerbaijan, including Nagorno Karabakh and adjacent seven regions, continues regardless of four United Nations Security Council resolutions adopted in 1993, which demand immediate, unconditional and complete withdrawal of Armenian troops from Azerbaijan's territories.
More than one million Azerbaijanis became refugees and internally displaced as a result of this occupation. Along with the military occupation and ethnic cleansing on these occupied lands, the cultural property of the Republic of Azerbaijan has also incurred irreplaceable losses.
Numerous historical, cultural, religious monuments and pieces of arts have been looted and removed from the occupied Azerbaijani territories by the Armenian armed forces. Many of them were put on sale in the auctions and shops throughout the world. Armenia is trying to change the attributes of Azerbaijani cultural heritage, toponyms of Azerbaijani origin and identity.
500 historical, architectural and more than 100 archeological monuments, 22 museums (40 thousand museum pieces and exhibits), 9 historical palaces, 44 temples, 10 mosques, 4 art galleries have been looted and heavily damaged. Hundreds of ancient mausoleums and fortresses have been destroyed.
These are obvious acts of cultural terrorism with the aim to wipe out the evidences of the historic roots of Azerbaijanis in these areas.
In brief, this Forum allowed world community to discover the reality about Azerbaijan, from all points of view.

Students continue to learn topical vocabulary lists to help them become conversant in a wide variety of subjects.
Students will learn and practice grammar including a variety of verb tenses, pronouns, and other grammatical features of the Spanish language.
Students will gain verbal fluency as they have opportunities to speak to one another and to native speakers.
Students will continue to see the connection between language and culture, and will gain appreciation for the food, music, and culture of Spanish-speaking countries.
Few skills are as important in our world as the ability to communicate. Knowledge of Spanish allows you to communicate with 350 million people in 21 countries—including our own! In fact, if you speak Spanish and English, you can communicate with over 70% of the world's population!
Spanish II is offered to students who have successfully completed one year of Spanish at New Hope or who have passed the placement exam (see below). In Spanish II we will continue to immerse ourselves in the Spanish language and cultures, through story-telling (a continuation of the TPRS methodology from Spanish I), acting, reading, writing, music, literature, educational games, and other interdisciplinary activities. Students will learn to conjugate verbs in various forms of the past, present, and future tenses, while growing in confidence and ease of expression. Throughout the year, students will progress towards their goal of fluency, with increased opportunities to speak and interact with native speakers.
Parents, please download and proctor this placement exam for your child, then you can return it directly to Mrs. Range. You can scan it and email it to her, or mail it to New Hope.
The "Nueva Esperanza" (New Hope) chapter of National Spanish Honor Society, or "Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica!" Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica (SHH) is an honor society for high school students enrolled in Spanish and/or Portuguese, sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP). At present there are over 2,000 national and international chapters.
The purpose of the society is to recognize high achievement of high school students in the Spanish and Portuguese languages and to promote a continuing interest in Hispanic and Portuguese studies. For more information (and even and informative video!) visit the SHH website at www.sociedadhonorariahispanica.org.
It was a memorable and masterful performance that we had the privilege to behold.
A healthy part of every foreign language course is the study of culture as yet another means of connecting with people.
