TOKYO, Sep 14, 2021, AP. Senior diplomats from Japan, the United States and South Korea gathered Tuesday in Tokyo to discuss North Korea's missile and nuclear development a day after Pyongyang announced it successfully tested new long-range cruise missiles, suggesting advancement of its military capabilities, AP reported.
The three-way meeting included U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Policy Sung Kim, South Korea's Special Representative for Korean Peninsula Peace and Security Affairs Noh Kyu-duk and Japan's Director-General for Asian and Oceanian affairs Takehiro Funakoshi.
Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi told a regular news conference Tuesday that the trilateral meeting had been scheduled before North Korea's test-firing of the missiles, but the meeting the day after would be a "good occasion to reconfirm close cooperation among the three countries and discuss the latest North Korean situation."
Japanese officials and some experts said North Korea's weekend missile test-firing was a "new threat" to the region.
On Monday, the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported that the missiles showed they can hit targets 1,500 kilometers (930 miles) away.
The North hailed its new missiles as a "strategic weapon of great significance," suggesting that they were developed with the intent to arm them with nuclear warheads. North Korea says it needs nuclear weapons in order to deter what it claims is hostility from Washington and Seoul.
Japan and South Korea are separate key allies for the U.S. presence in the Asia-Pacific region.

Die Table des Marchand (dt. Tisch der [Kaufmanns-Familie] Marchand,  An Daol Varchant) liegt in Locmariaquer im Département Morbihan in der Bretagne in Frankreich. Das megalithische Bauwerk wurde bereits im Jahr 1889 zum Monument historique erklärt.

Datierung
Ausgrabungsarbeiten in den 1980er und 1990er Jahren haben ergeben, dass das jungsteinzeitliche Bauwerk wahrscheinlich zu Beginn des 4. Jahrtausends v. Chr. errichtet wurde, nachdem eine Steinreihe aus 16 Plattenmenhiren ('alignement a-q') aus der Zeit um 4500 v. Chr., welche auf der Stelle der heutigen Grabkammer stand, zerstört worden war. Das Bauwerk wurde wahrscheinlich bis in die Bronzezeit (d. h. bis um 2000 v. Chr.) genutzt und wird seit dem 18. Jahrhundert unserer Zeitrechnung beschrieben.

Funktion
Wie in vielen Dolmen, so wurden auch in der Table des Marchand keinerlei Gebeine oder Grabbeigaben gefunden

so dass einige Forscher die Vermutung geäußert haben, dass es sich bei einigen Bauten mit einer großen Hauptkammer möglicherweise eher um Kult- oder Versammlungsplätze gehandelt habe. Darüber hinaus ist es auch möglich, dass sich die Nutzung des Bauwerks im Lauf der Zeit gewandelt hat und eventuell vorhandene Bestattungsreste in späterer Zeit entfernt wurden.

Architektur

Rekonstruktion

Zum Schutz der Gravuren im Innern des Bauwerks wurden im Rahmen der Ausgrabungsarbeiten Gang und Cairn – im Wesentlichen nach dem Vorbild von Gavrinis – rekonstruiert. Dabei wurden die meisten Tragsteine (Orthostaten) sowie sämtliche Decksteine des Gangbereichs völlig neu zugehauen und eingesetzt. Anschließend wurden die Lücken zwischen den Megalithen mit Bruchsteinen geschlossen und der Cairn aufgeschichtet.

Untergrund
Bei den genannten Ausgrabungs- und Rekonstruierungsarbeiten wurde festgestellt, dass der sandige Baugrund von den Baumeistern der Megalithzeit mit Flintsteinen, Kieseln und Keramikscherben angereichert wurde – wahrscheinlich um ein Einsinken des gewaltigen Bauwerks zu verhindern.

Steine
Das beim Bau verwendete Steinmaterial war hauptsächlich vor Ort anstehender Granit; die Steine der Bodenplatte bestehen hingegen aus dem ebenfalls in der Nähe vorkommenden Sandstein. Mehrere Steine (darunter zwei gegenüberliegende Steine im Gang und die etwa 5,70 m in der Länge und ca. 4,10 m in der Breite messende Deckenplatte) bestehen aus sogenanntem Orthogneis, der leicht zu bearbeiten war, jedoch aus Steinbrüchen bei der etwa 10 km nördlich gelegenen Stadt Auray herbeigeschafft werden musste und bei den älteren – später allesamt zerbrochenen – Großmenhiren häufiger verwendet wurde. Der beinahe dreieckig behauene Hauptstein der Grabkammer wurde aus hellerem und ebenfalls leicht zu bearbeitenden Sandstein gefertigt.

Cairn

Die heutige Anlage ist ein weitgehend rekonstruierter Dolmen in einem Steinhügel. Ausgrabungen haben gezeigt, dass der Bau von einem zweistufigen Cairn aus kleinen Bruchsteinen eingefasst war, der – zur Abwehr von eindringendem Regenwasser – möglicherweise eine Abdeckung aus Sand, Erde und Gras erhielt. Der Cairn oder Tumulus wurde jedoch bereits vor Jahrhunderten abgetragen, so dass sich das Bauwerk lange Zeit als monumentaler tischförmiger Dolmen (daher der Name) präsentierte.

Dolmen
Am nur etwa 1,40 m hohen Trilithenportal des Dolmens mussten und müssen Besucher Kopf und Rücken beugen, was durchaus als – zwangsweise eingeforderte – Ehrerbietungsgeste verstanden werden muss. Diese Tatsache sowie ein nicht vorhandener Verschlussstein am Eingang lassen darauf schließen, dass das Bauwerk über einen langen Zeitraum für Besucher offenstand. Hinter dem Eingang steigt die Höhe der Decksteine bis hin zur etwa 2,70 m hohen Hauptkammer gleichmäßig an – ein Gestaltungselement, das sich bei etlichen, jedoch nicht bei allen Ganggräbern findet.

Ornamentik
Während die Tragsteine (Orthostaten) im Gang allesamt undekoriert sind, zeigt der insgesamt etwa 3,20 m hohe und spitzbogig behauene Stein an der Stirnseite der Kammer 49 reliefartig herausgearbeitete und nach links oder rechts weisende Krummstäbe; sie wurden als Waffen, aber auch als Sonnenstrahlen oder Ähren gedeutet. Ein weiterer Stein mit einfacher gestalteten Krummstäben befindet sich in der Hauptkammer von Gavrinis. Am äußeren Rand des Steins, dessen sichtbarer Teil annähernd die Form eines Schildes hat, wiederholt sich das Krummstab- oder Hakenmotiv. In der Mitte befindet sich ein stark verblasstes Symbol sowie die Inschrift "Gazelle", welche wahrscheinlich zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts von der schiffbrüchig gewordenen Besatzung eines Fischerboots eingeritzt wurde. Mit seiner spitzbogigen, beinahe dreieckigen Form ist dieser Stein in seiner Funktion als Tragstein so ungewöhnlich, dass die Forschung heute davon ausgeht, es handele sich um eine bereits an diesem Platz befindliche Stele, die erst zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt in den Dolmen integriert wurde.

Auf der nach unten gewölbten Deckenplatte, die das untere Teilstück eines – wahrscheinlich absichtlich zerstörten – älteren Menhirs ist, dessen Mittel- und Oberteil sich als Deckenplatten der Hauptkammern in den Dolmen von Gavrinis bzw. von Er Grah befinden, sind die Darstellungen eines sogenannten Axtpfluges sowie die Vorderbeine, der Brustbereich und Kopfteile eines Rindes zu erkennen; die Hörner des Tieres finden sich auf dem Deckstein von Gavrinis.

Bedeutung
Die Table des Marchand in ihrem rekonstruierten Zustand ist zweifellos eines der imposantesten Monumente der europäischen Megalithkultur. Die Wiederverwendung von zerstörten älteren Menhiren lässt auf einen – möglicherweise tiefgreifenden – kulturell-religiösen Wandel in der Zeit um 4000 v. Chr. schließen.

Umgebung
In unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft zur Table des Marchand liegen der umgestürzte Grand Menhir-Brisé und der Dolmen Er Grah (oder Er Vinglé). Das Ganggrab von Mané Rutual und der in vier Teile zerbrochenene Bronzo-Menhir (Men-Bronso) befinden sich in etwa 300 bis 350 m Entfernung.

I keep a close eye on the Zimbabwe agricultural sector because of its potential impact on regional demand. Since the collapse of the sector after the land reform programme in the early 2000s, the country has been one of the key markets for South African maize. – Wandile Sihlobo, Agbiz economist *Written for and first published in the Business Times on 01 July 2018.
Some of the successful land reform programmes in the world took place in countries where the beneficiaries were those who occupied the land at the time of the reform. This may be true for the provision of secure tenure to occupiers living under legally insecure tenure arrangements in communal areas, however, the context is quite different for the redistribution and restitution programmes in South Africa. – Wandile Sihlobo and Prof Johann Kirsten[i] *Written for and first published on Business Day on 25 June 2018.

João da Cunha Vargas (Alegrete, 28 de dezembro de 1900 — Porto Alegre, 8 de setembro de 1980) foi um poeta gaúcho e brasileiro.

De origem simples e de pouca instrução, Vargas apresentou uma autenticidade incomum em sua poesia, que angariou o culto de diversos artistas e intelectuais brasileiros, tais como o pajador Jayme Caetano Braun (com quem trocou recados em forma de poemas em um episódio notório na história do Rio Grande do Sul), o cantor e compositor Vitor Ramil (que musicou diversas de suas poesias, em especial, as gravadas no álbum "Délibáb"), e o escritor Alcy Cheuiche (que o reverencia em seu livro "Com Sabor de Terra"), dentre outros.

O poeta guardava todas suas poesias de memória e publicou apenas um livro póstumo "Deixando o pago: poesias xucras", cujos poemas foram ditados a familiares ou transcritos a partir de registros de suas declamações feitos em fitas cassete.

Biografia
Nascido na localidade de Passo do Mariano Pinto, interior da cidade de Alegrete, no Rio Grande do Sul, João da Cunha Vargas teve uma origem simples. Segundo conta o escritor Mozart Pereira Soares, o poeta "não passou das primeiras letras" e se dizia "não ser muito manso de livros". Viveu toda a sua vida como peão de estância e forjou seus versos durante o seu trabalho campeiro.

O poeta era tido como um pajador e guardava seus versos de memória, que declamava para os familiares ou "ia tirando" nas tertúlias tradicionalistas do Rio Grande do Sul. Era reconhecido como um grande declamador e interpretava seus poemas com apuro e dramaticidade. O pajador por excelência Jayme Caetano Braun dizia que, ao declamar, João Vargas subia ao palco "um homem franzino e descia de lá um gigante".

Em verdade, não há muitas fontes descritivas sobre quem foi João da Cunha Vargas; a maior referência sobre sua identidade parece ser a família, ou os amigos que conviveram com o artista gaúcho. Mas, sem dúvida, as experiências daqueles que puderam conviver com Vargas foram marcantes, como vemos em um evento que Alcy Cheuiche narra no conto Recuerdos do Velho Vargas, publicado em seu livro "Com Sabor de Terra":

No final de sua vida, em 1979, João da Cunha Vargas seria homenageando em foto da capa do álbum da 9ª Califórnia da Canção Nativa, realizada em Uruguaiana, oportunidade em que mais uma vez demonstrou sua arte, declamando para o público presente.

Em 1981, é publicado postumamente seu primeiro e único livro, "Deixando o pago: poesias xucras", ilustrado por Glênio Fagundes. A edição reuniu doze de seus poemas, dois deles de especial destaque, pois são cartas a pessoas ilustres. A primeira, é um convite a então Miss Brasil Terezinha Morango, para visitar o estado; a segunda é dirigida ao amigo mas adversário Jayme Caetano Braun, à época candidato a deputado estadual.

Era membro da Estância da Poesia Crioula, tendo alguns de seus poemas publicados na antologia da entidade. Além destas edições, João Vargas não deixou mais nenhum registro escrito, e muito de sua obra foi considerada definitivamente perdida.

Talvez por sua simplicidade e origem humilde, "ninguém levava esse cara a sério" como conta Vitor Ramil em entrevista ao periódico Não. O cantor explicou que João da Cunha Vargas "se tornou conhecido por causa do Ramilonga, esse crédito tem que ser dado, um poeta maravilhoso que passou a ser respeitado". O álbum em questão foi lançado em 1997 e continha três canções com poesias de João Vargas: "Deixando o pago", "Último pedido" e "Gaudério". Depois disso, Ramil viria a musicar mais alguns poemas de João Vargas, em especial no álbum "Délibáb" de 2010, dedicado totalmente a Vargas e ao eminente escritor argentino Jorge Luis Borges.

Em 2013, Marcos Ferreira de Moraes em sua dissertação "A ilusão do pampa: uma leitura de Délibáb, de Vitor Ramil", descreveu de maneira definitiva a arte de João da Cunha Vargas e consequentemente, a sua importância para a cultura brasileira, em especial, a cultura gaúcha:

Homenagens
João da Cunha Vargas é homenageado com nome de rua em Alegrete (RS). O prêmio de melhor poesia do festival Canto Farroupilha, promovido periodicamente pela prefeitura da cidade de Alegrete, também tem o nome do poeta.

EP-iphnaies: "The Only Flame In Town" By Elvis Costello & The Attractions
As you probably know by now, The Analog Kid lives for b-sides and non-album cuts. In this continuing series, I will share some of my favorite EPs and 12″ singles from over the years in their entirety. And since it's digital, you don't have to worry about correctly setting the turntable speed to or 33⅓ or 45!
Elvis Costello is the king of the Analog Kid's digital music collection. There are currently a ridiculous 1,292 Costello songs in my library, due in large part to the fact that his records have been reissued on CD in multiple varying formats over the years. Take This Year's Model, for example: I own the original Columbia CD, the 1993 Rykodisc reissue, and the 2002 Rhino two-disc set. Each CD has different track listings with multiple bonus track differences, so all are essential to an Elvis nut like me.
Despite all of these reissues and repackages, there are still a few Costello tracks that have never seen the light of day on an official CD release. Two of these tracks are on The Only Flame In Town 12″ single, released domestically by Columbia Records in 1984. The "Special Mix" of "The Only Flame In Town" highlights the great guest vocal appearance from Daryl Hall, and of course manages to throw in some wonderfully dated '80s remix cliches as well. The b-side "Baby It's You" (with guest vocals from Nick Lowe) appears on the Out Of Our Idiot compilation as well as both the Rykodisc and Rhino reissues of Goodbye Cruel World, but the "1984 Monster Mix" of "Pump It Up" is also unique to this hard-to-find 12″.
In his liner notes to the Rhino reissue of Goodbye Cruel World, Elvis has this to say about "The Only Flame In Town:"
This was one of two tracks that were given the concentrated production approach and, like many cuts on the record, makes excessive use of the new DX7 synthesizer, the tone of which might as well date-stamp the album to an exact week in 1984. It is not a sound that has improved with age.
That may be true, but "The Only Flame In Town" is still a lot of fun to listen to. It doesn't really sound like anything else in Elvis' vast catalog, and this special 12″ remix only adds to its charms.

The 'Only Flame In Town' and 'Pump It Up' remixes actually were released on the now-deleted (I think?) Singles Volume 3 box set, released back in 2003: http://www.amazon.com/Singles-3-Elvis-Costello/dp/B0000DIGLX
Definitely a worthwhile investment – though not $240 for a new box on Amazon! – though it frustratingly leaves out the 1985 'Green Shirt' remix.
Also, glad to see another Elvis Costello mega-fan!
Somehow I missed that box! Thanks for the info.
Ah, the DX7. I remember seeing one at a music expo in 1985 and thinking "I have to have one of those." Every band was using it. Alas, my budget wouldn't allow it. Most music is "dated" by the production quality and equipment that was used at the time. I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing.

Oooh, very sad that these are embedded. But a great post all the same, for a fellow Costello-head!

Whether you are part of a business away from PR or involved in the communications industry in some form, thinking of new content and creating videos can really work to help you tell your story in a visually engaging way.
With a vast amount of content moving towards streaming devices and social media posting, it's important that as a business you stay ahead of the curve too – as your customers are clearly consuming news in a different way. By 2019, online content will consist of 80% video marketing, with mobile video consumption rising by 100% annually, according to Forbes.
But that doesn't mean you have to rush out and get all of the equipment and start throwing out anything in order to gain 'likes' or web traffic footfall. You've still got to apply the basic rules around content – those being that it must add value to your customer, be original and tell a story in an interesting, and engaging way. Here's some quickfire ways as part of our simple guide to ensure that your videos tick all of the boxes.
Analyse who you are speaking to… Who is your target audience? You should be doing this anyway to improve your customer journey, but it's imperative to analyse what your customers are after on an ongoing basis to ensure you're offering what they want to consume.
Is it behind-the-scenes information about your day-to-day business? Maybe it is social media content that your audience engages with primarily? Or could it be top tips and advice? Workout what works best for your customers, what they react to well and work on the things that don't quite hit the mark to make sure you're not wasting time producing content that doesn't fly.
As mentioned, it's no good chucking out any old content for the sake of it. Your customers will become wise to this tactic, get bored and switch off. Ensure you don't spam them either with video after video – there's nothing worse than ploughing all your efforts into videos just for customers to scroll past the third or fourth one from you that day.
Maybe schedule in one or two a month to keep a strong stream of content going – and make sure it's relevant to your customer base, do you research into this first.
Shorter videos tend to work better across social media platforms such as Facebook or Twitter. Longer versions are better for YouTube, LinkedIn appears to be hit-and-miss for videos as it depends on your audience and, if you're attempting Facebook Live, these work well as longer videos too.
There are variations of length that many recommend, for example, PR guru, Dan Slee, suggests a best video length of 15 seconds for Facebook, 174 seconds for YouTube, 45 seconds on Twitter and 30 seconds in Instagram.
Always, always, always include captions where you can when creating videos. Factor in your customer's everyday lives. When it comes to raising children for example, as a bleary-eyed parent, it's probably not wise to wake up your little one from its slumber after countless sleepless nights for the sake of listening to a video with the sound on. As Business 2 Community reports, many publishers have verified that around 85% of all videos on Facebook in particular, are viewed without the sound on too.
Finally, make sure you tell a story and offer value to your customer as part of your video content. Pull together a strategy and hit certain markers throughout the year. For example, if you're an energy firm, could you offer insight into how customers could switch their energy providers and tailor release it during 'Big Energy Saving Week'? Or maybe you're a HR business and are exploring flexible working/employee benefits/wellbeing etc and can coincide this with 'National Work Life Week'?
Make sure you have a solid plan that offers original content and expert commentary to relevant factors impacting upon your customers. Keep analysing this plan too and remain up to date with relevant news for live opportunities that could provide a hot topic for you to talk on for a video.
In a nutshell, if you manage to hit these simple pointers, continue to research and are able to produce a strong level of video content with good sound and customer value, it could reap the rewards for your business.
Do you have a content marketing strategy in place?

Smartphone designs are leaked all year round and typically there's little to get hyped about. But given how most phone designs have become an all-glass and notch sandwich, some manufacturers are trying break that cycle. And in that process, we've had many interesting designs pop up in our peripheral vision within the last year. So, maybe it's time to take a look at some of the smartphones that may just be consumer ready in 2019. It is however recommended to take these concept designs with a grain of salt, since they are based on industry insider information, patents filed by the manufacturers.
Look out for the "hole-punch" display with Samsung's upcoming flagship. The company will announce further details at their February 20 event dubbed Samsung Unpacked. Reports suggest that there will be three different models of the S10 and that there may be a jump in price. There has been a lot of information leaked so far, from TechRadar all the way to Forbes, and trust me there's a lot to catch up on, but the main takeaways are – the new Snapdragon 855 processor, three different screen sizes, an in-screen finger print sensor and a dual, triple or quad-lens rear camera.
Codenamed "Sargo", the Google Pixel 3 Lite made its debut on a YouTube channel in classic Google unveiled fashion. The unboxing video published by Andro News which shared most of the phones details, has since been taken down however. But they reported that the Pixel 3 Lite has the same back camera as the Pixel 3 XL. It will come with a 5.5-inch LCD screen, the new mid-tier Snapdragon 670 chip, 4GB RAM and 32GB storage. The phone will feature a full plastic body and get this, a headphone jack up top as well.
The Moto Razr V3 is a revolutionary piece of hardware, and it changed the mobile industry back in its heyday. Its sleek and stylish foldable design is etched in all millennial memories and Lenovo, who now own the Motorola brand, are planning to bring the Razr brand back with modern technologies at the forefront of the engineering. The Razr V4, as it's being called, is said to feature the new foldable screen technology. Motorola were awarded a patent last year on a folding smartphone design and YouTube channel TECH CONFIGURATIONS were quick to make the concept designs that you see floating around the internet today.
HMD Global, the owners of the Nokia brand, deserve praise for the brand's resurgence. However, it seems like they left their biggest play for 2019. 91mobile and insider information from Nokia's own distribution channel suggests that the penta-camera Android smartphone could make its debut well before Mobile World Congress 2019, which starts from February 25, 2019. Tech publication T3, have reported that codename Beyond, or otherwise known as the Nokia 9 PureView, will feature an in-display finger print sensor, a 5.9-inch QHD display, 8GB RAM, a Snapdragon 845 processor and the Carl Zeiss five camera setup.

Former FC Bayern München striker Ivica Olic believes Pep Guardiola's time at the club should be seen as a failure because of his lack of success in the Champions League.
Guardiola, who is set to leave the club at the end of the season to become manager of Manchester City, is on the verge of winning his third consecutive Bundesliga title, but has failed to progress past the semi-finals of Europe's elite club competition in his three seasons in charge of the Bavarians.
Olic believes Bayern's strength relative to the rest of the German top flight means domestic trophies should be expected and that success in Europe was the only way to leave a lasting legacy.
"Guardiola was knocked out of three successive Champions League semis and by Bayern's high standards that's a failure," he told Sportske Novosti.
"Maybe people at Bayern will now say he won a haul of domestic trophies, but given the strength of the club's roster, that's an accomplishment they should take for granted.
"Yes, Atletico play destructive football but they knew exactly what they wanted and in this chess game, Simeone made all the right moves.
"Guardiola stuck to his philosophy and it failed to land a European title, although he had to deal with the burden of expectation from the start.
Bayern conclude the Bundesliga season with matches against FC Ingolstadt 04 and Hannover 96 before ending the season against rivals Borussia Dortmund in the DFB-Pokal final.

Attorney general highlights resources for immigrants in Illinois
Attorney General Kwame Raoul is highlighting resources available to help immigrants, consulate offices and nonprofit organizations to educate immigrants on their legal rights.
In light of reports that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement could conduct enforcement operations in cities around the country, including in Chicago, Attorney General Raoul highlighted the office's Know Your Rights public awareness campaign to help immigrants living in Illinois understand their rights and responsibilities when interacting with law enforcement.
"As the proud son of immigrants and as attorney general, I condemn the administration's unconstitutional and discriminatory actions that continue to cause uncertainty and fear in immigrant communities in Illinois and throughout the country," Raoul said. "Every Illinois resident has constitutional rights, regardless of their citizenship or immigration status, and I urge people to be informed of those rights."
Know Your Rights resources are available free of charge on the attorney general's website in English, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Polish, Serbian and Urdu, along with a mobile version and printable pocket-size guide. The materials summarize people's rights if confronted by an immigration agent or a police officer, detail what to expect if immigration agents or police officers come to your home, and offer an explanation of your rights if you are arrested. They also provide important reminders about immigration documentation, tips for avoiding dishonest immigration service providers and links to additional resources. Raoul also encouraged state and local law enforcement officials to access his office's online Guidance to Law Enforcement on authority under Illinois and federal law to engage in immigration enforcement.
The Attorney General's Office does not request information about immigration or citizenship status from anyone who contacts the office or files a complaint. Raoul encourages individuals to contact his office to report instances of discrimination or harassment by calling his Civil Rights Hotline at (877) 581-3692.

BATMAN's Sustainable Philanthropy for Afghanistan Education and Women Empowerment
Yesterday, I went to JFK airport to pick up Roya Mahboob, our partner and CEO of the Afghan Citadel Software Company. She was with her sister Elaha Mahboob, director of the Herat office and supervisor of the 7 schools and one of the Women's Annex locations that we built for a total of 35,000 students and looking to expand to 40 schools and up to 160,000 students by the end of 2014. Are they overachievers or super heroes?
They were flying in from Kabul and the flight was above 30 minutes late, but unfortunately, they were in customs for the next two and half hours. During my wait at JFK, I run into Batman. Yes, Batman, the famous super hero! He was also waiting for super hero friends coming from Afghanistan. They had traveled there to help Afghan Super Hero Sooraya Qadir, also known as Dust.
Considering that Batman and I had a few hours to spend together, we spoke about what we are both doing with Afghanistan. When he heard that we are Building Schools in Afghanistan, he got very interested in the Afghan Development Project and Women's Annex operations. He asked me several questions about the investment and its results. When I told him that for a cost of $20-30,000, we connect up to 4,000 students to the World Wide Web, and that with the Examer Educational Software, we train young Afghan women and men to become social media experts, writers and filmmakers, his eyes doubled in size and got brighter. He bombarded me with questions and we spoke about Target Thinking for Afghanistan, Women Empowerment and Education for Boys and Girls.
Keep in mind that Batman has been around since 1939 and he is now 74 years old. Consequently, the all concept of chasing traditional villains and fighting crime is getting old for him. Batman might enjoy some new motivations.
Batman mentioned his intention to introduce me to Mr. Bruce Wayne, an American billionaire, playboy, industrialist, and philanthropist. For many years, Bruce Wayne has been meticulously investing in his work, image and message to the people of Gotham and the rest of the world,. He understands the power of education and target thinking. Recently, Robin, Batman's faithful partner, has moved on to a more prominent position and he is considering upgrading his image to a thought leader instead of the eternal sidekick. Who wants to be Robin when you can be Batman?
Roya and Elaha arrived. I said bye to Batman and we decided to touch base later next week, possibly for a coffee at our Film Studio in Manhattan. Maybe Film Annex's Liaison to Central and South Asia, Ms. Fereshteh Forough, will interview him. I will keep you posted.
Once I got back to the office, I read a very inspirational article by one of Film Annex's filmmakers, Semyon Maltsev. The article was titled: Becoming BATMAN or why Film Production is so important.
Looking back to my conversation with Batman, I immediately saw that a large part of his investment and success in the last 74 years was his super hero experience. He understood immediately the incredible potential of supporting education and women's empowerment in Afghanistan and other developing countries. In addition, last week was announced that Angelina Jolie, also known as Lara Croft, is sponsoring a school for girls in Afghanistan with the proceeds from her jewelry line.
I am a firm believer that, in life, it's important to embrace philanthropic projects to bring people happiness, and that the help of super heroes like Batman, Robin, Sooraya Qadir and Lara Croft can be of a great help to also bring a smile and further motivation.

Q: How to Play live streaming of youtube video with Server URL and Stream Key I am working on an app in which i have to display the live streaming of youtube videos. for this i have Server key and server URL. I tried to use AVPlayer but not working Please anyone suggest any way to how to implement it as i already gone through many questions but unfortunately didn't find any solution for it.
Server URL rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2
Stream name/key 41wu-5jzt-8sak-7xwe

i am using the following code:
NSURL *streamURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"*********"];

    _streamPlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:streamURL];

    [self.streamPlayer.view setFrame: self.view.bounds];

    self.streamPlayer.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleEmbedded;

    [self.view addSubview: self.streamPlayer.view];

    [self.streamPlayer play];

A: You can't play a YouTube RTMP stream like that. RTMP is  only used for contribution on YouTube. Playback must be done like any other YouTube video.  Also iOS cant play RTMP out of the box like that. You would need to write an RTMP client or use a library.

A: You can use YouTube data api v3 and get stream url and play in YouTube Player using Player api

Marcos extends modified tariff rates on various products
MANILA – President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has signed an executive order (EO) extending the temporary modification of rates of import duty on various products including meat, corn and rice to maintain affordable prices and augment the supply of agricultural commodities in the country.
Under Executive Order (EO) No. 10, signed by the President on Dec. 29, 2022, the reduced Most Favored Nation (MFN) tariff rates on meat of swine (fresh, chilled or frozen) at 15 percent (in-quota) and 25 percent (out-quota); corn at 5 percent (in-quota) and 15 percent (out-quota); rice at 35 percent (in-quota and out-quota); and coal at zero duty, shall be extended until Dec. 31, 2023.
"There is a need to extend the effectivity of the reduced tariff rates on rice, maize (corn), coal, and meat of swine (fresh, chilled or frozen) to maintain affordable prices for the purpose of ensuring food security, help augment the supply of basic agricultural commodities in the country, reduce the cost of electricity, and diversify the country's market sources," the EO read.
Upon effectivity of the EO, all articles specifically listed, which are entered into or withdrawn from warehouses in the Philippines for consumption, will be levied the MFN rates of duty.
The tariff rates on coal will be subject to a semestral review after Dec. 31 this year.
For this purpose, the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Committee on Tariff and Related Matters shall submit to the President, through the Office of the Executive Secretary, its findings and recommendations on the matter, including analysis and monitoring of the coal market.
The EO states that the current global economic situation brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as other factors affecting the country's traditional sources of rice, corn, coal, and fresh, chilled or frozen meat of swine is causing uncertainty in the steady supply of said commodities.
It also cited how the high inflation caused by supply constraints, expected shortage in the global supply, and rise in international commodity prices is presenting economic and trade implications to the country and the Filipino people.
EO Nos. 134 and 135 temporarily modified the MFN rates of import duty on meat of swine (fresh chilled or frozen) until May 17, 2022 and rice until June 1, 2022.
EO No. 171, on the other hand, extended the effectivity of the reduced tariff rates under EO Nos. 134 and 135, and reduced the tariff rates on maize and coal until Dec. 31, 2022.
Section 1608 of Republic Act 10863 or the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act empowers the President to increase, reduce, or remove existing rates of import duty "in the interest of general welfare and national security." (PNA)

At the site of Christopher Columbus' first Cuba landing sits Baracoa, the island's original Spanish settlement. Founded in 1511, the city's isolation eventually contributed to its outsider reputation-it's been home over the centuries to smugglers, Haitian refugees, and independence fighters. Finally connected to the rest of the island by road after the Revolution, things have normalised a bit since then-but only slightly. Read on to check out what makes Baracoa the most unique spot in Cuba.
Baracoa is perhaps the most interesting Cuban city that no one's ever heard of! Hugging a long, crescent-shaped bay with the backdrop of an iconic table top mountain, this is one of Cuba's most isolated major settlements. The result of this is that Baracoa has developed a distinct regional culture-at once totally Cuban, but at the same time something else entirely.
Another side effect of this isolation is that the tourism industry hasn't taken hold quite as strongly as in other comparable locales. If you're dreaming of the "authentic" Cuba, this is it-a charming if quite simple downtown area, a number of major historic sites, waterfalls and mountains, beautiful beaches, and a tourist lodging capacity of just under 300.
Christopher Columbus was the first European to land here back in 1492, and Baracoa was officially founded as Cuba's capital by conquistador Diego Velazquez de Cuellar in 1511. This period was short-lived, however, as the capital was transferred to Santiago de Cuba only four years later and finally moved to Havana in 1553.
Over the centuries, Baracoa has played a wide variety of roles. The city was for a time a favourite target of marauding pirates, leading to the construction of a number of Spanish fortifications still present throughout the city. During the Haitian Revolution it acted as refuge for over 100 French families who would change the cultural fabric of the area. And, in the prelude to the Cuban War of Independence, the city received a number of rebellious prisoners in hopes of keeping their influence at bay.
All these ingredients were left to mix undisturbed until the 1960s, when the Revolutionary government finally managed to connect Baracoa to the rest of the island via La Farola, a massive undertaking of a highway connecting the city to Santiago de Cuba. It had finally become a bit easier for outsiders to visit here.
Some seven kilometres west of Baracoa sits the iconic el Yunque table mountain. Named after its striking shape (yunque means "anvil" in Spanish), the mountain was first described by Christopher Columbus and is today declared a national monument by the Cuban government. A moderately difficult day hike, a local guide will take you up the 575-meter climb for a small fee.
Southeast of town sits the Parque Natural Majayara, home to fantastic hiking, breath taking caves, and a number of freshwater swimming holes. Additionally, if you're just looking to relax, the area is home to a variety of beautiful beaches, primarily to the northwest of town.
Thanks to Baracoa's unique history, the city's culture is like no other place in Cuba. This is manifested especially in the regional cuisine, due in large part to the Haitian French influence.
While you're here, try Cucurucho, a mix of coconut, sugar, and assorted fruits wrapped up in a palm leaf to go. Additionally, make sure to taste some local chocolate, a staple indulgence of this major cocoa-growing region.

Jennifer Garner's HBO Comedy 'Camping' Gets a Premiere Date
By Philiana Ng 9:05 AM PDT, July 25, 2018
Jennifer Garner is returning to television.
On Wednesday, HBO announced Camping, starring Garner and David Tennant, will debut on Oct. 14.
More than a decade after Alias wrapped its run, the 46-year-old actress will star in the new comedy series from Girls team Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner. Garner will topline the eight-episode, half-hour limited series, which began production this past spring in Los Angeles.
The official logline for Camping, which is based on the British series by Julia Davis, reads: "Walt's 45th birthday was supposed to be a delightful weekend back to nature, at least according to his obsessively organized and aggressively controlling wife Kathryn (Garner). But when the camping trip gathers Kathryn's meek sister, holier than thou ex-best friend and a free-spirited Tagalong in one place, it becomes a weekend of tested marriages and woman on woman crime that won't soon be forgotten. Plus, bears."
From Executive Producers @lenadunham and @JenniKonner, #CampingHBO, starring Jennifer Garner and David Tennant, premieres this fall on #HBO. pic.twitter.com/XvjOrHE40P
— HBO (@HBO) July 25, 2018
Garner plays Kathryn Siddell-Bauers, a controlling L.A. mom who is far less cheerful than her Lululemons imply. Kathryn controls the proceedings with an iron grip until she's faced with a woman who undoes all her best laid plans.
Konner and Dunham called Garner's character "messy, tough and provocative and really, really fun."
"We love Jennifer's restraint and comedic timing, and we can't wait for the warmth and intelligence she'll bring to our central character, Kathryn," the showrunners said in a statement in February. "It's truly a dream to have her first on our call sheet. Now we just have to write her some stunts."
This is a coup for HBO, as Garner has largely stayed away from TV and focused her attention on film ever since she hung up her colorful wigs as super-spy Sydney Bristow in the J.J. Abrams-created ABC action drama, Alias, which ran for five seasons from 2001 to 2006. She won a Golden Globe in 2002 for her role and is a four-time Emmy nominee. After bidding farewell to her beloved character, Garner lent her voice to the animated kids Netflix program, Llama Llama, and appeared on a 2008 episode of PBS' Great Performances.
It's been a big year for Garner. She also starred in Love, Simon, opposite Josh Duhamel, Katherine Langford and Nick Robinson, and will premiere Peppermint, with John Gallagher Jr. and Richard Cabral, in September.

The Moroccan city of Fes is the country's second-largest. It has been settled since the 8th century and was the capital until well into the 20th.
The most important of the city's sights is without doubt the Fes el Bali medina. It was named by UNESCO as a world heritage site in 1981, and is as lively, bustling and full of sights and sounds and smells as one would imagine. The earthen walls are particularly impressive, as are the tiny, narrow streets, the stalls and tanneries. It really is the city's big must-see.
Another sight well worth a visit is the Bou Inania Madrasa. Renovated a number of times, it originally dates from the 14th century. Perhaps the most interesting point for the traveller is that it one of the very few religious buildings in the whole country that is open to non-Muslims. It is also the city's only madras with a minaret. But, as in any Muslim city, there is no shortage of minarets, the calls to prayers making a perfect backdrop.
And it's so easy to stay in touch with your friends and family there through FloraQueen, make the gift of a flower delivery to Fes next time you want to celebrate a special day.

Abel Solutions offers a wide variety of QMS services to companies that understand the importance of keeping the company-client relationship happy, productive, and mutually beneficial to foster confidence between the two parties. Among other measures, companies can work toward this goal by ensuring both the quality of the products or services that they provide to the client, as well as the consistency of that quality. Businesses have found that the best way to achieve both higher quality and greater consistency of output is to institute a Quality Management System (QMS). Adopting a QMS signals to clients (both current and potential) as well as industry competitors that the business guarantees a certain standard for their work, and that their work will not deviate from that standard.
Creating and implementing an effectual QMS takes time and effort that businesses could be dedicating elsewhere. Abel Solutions can make this process a great deal easier.
For over twenty years, we have been providing powerful answers to our clients' IT needs by offering SharePoint-based solutions, building unique applications, and delivering compelling IT services.
We offer a software solution-accelerator, QMS|Share, that can digitally transform clients' ink-and-paper QMS systems onto the Cloud. A more centralized setting makes essential documents accessible and approachable. QMS|Share's user-friendly interface makes finding and categorizing documents easy, even among thousands of files, by searching for tagged metadata on documents. Administrators manage site security by granting and editing permission levels, allowing certain groups to add and delete and download and edit library items while another group would only be able to view them. The Dashboard offers a quick look at pending items, such as assigned tasks and documents awaiting approval.
For clients who have a more long-term need, we provide QMS services such as maintenance of their QMS|Share pages. At their request, we can perform internal audits, alert them to product deviations, and monitor for compliance. Consider letting Abel Solutions offer the remedy to the complicated matter of QMS maintenance and ISO compliance.


The first time you open EndNote, you may or may not see the screen on the right. If you do, select Create a new library. If you do not see this screen, select FILE, then NEW.
EndNote's default location to save a library is in your "My Documents" folder (for Mac users, it is your Applications folder).
The EndNote teachers recommend that you create a new folder to put your EndNote library into. This separates the two files EndNote needs to operate from the rest of you documents and lessens the chance that you will delete one of them by mistake.
You can also save EndNote in a different location on your computer, but DO NOT save your library to cloud storage (e.g. Dropbox, Sharepoint, Google Drive and iCloud, etc.). EndNote is not compatible with cloud storage, and your library may become corrupted. Also avoid sharing your library on a shared network as EndNote only alows one user to open a library, add, or edit records at one time.
While it is possible to have multiple EndNote libraries, it is recommended that you only have only one EndNote library and that you organize your library by groups.
Once you have created an EndNote library, we recommend to not move it or to read this first. To avoid accidentally deleting or corrupting your library, you can view this video with instructions on how to create a library with less likelihood of becoming corrupted.

Decomposed granite is commonly referred to as "DG," and is a multi-functional product. Made from broken down granite rock, it becomes coarse sand that is highly compactable for structural underlayment for under turf, slabs or paving installations. DG is also great for walking paths, especially when we stabilize it for you- which when activated with water once laid out and leveled becomes hard like cement. Available in a variety of stocked and special order colors, this may be the perfect material for your next project.

Flora Barros-Espana and Kimberly Smith examine Wikiwiki voter registration pamphlets at the Salvation Army shelter in Kaimuki. Their opportunity for election empowerment came from the group Partners in Care.
Kimberly Smith is homeless, not powerless.
And thanks to a new initiative by a Hawaii nonprofit, the 39-year-old said she will exercise her right to vote for the first time this election year.
"In the past I always told myself I wouldn't make a difference," Smith said recently, fresh from filling out a voter registration form. "But I might make a difference."
Partners in Care, a group that addresses issues affecting the state's homeless, started its first-ever homeless voter registration drive earlier this year.
Their lone registrar has been hitting Hawaii's shelters and community health centers since, and she has already registered more than 30 homeless voters.
The program is the first of its kind in the state, and one of very few in the nation.
Organizers say they are hoping that homeless residents brought into the voting process will feel empowered and important.
Rebecca Anderson, who helped kick-start the drive, knows Hawaii's homeless probably will not determine a candidate's chances of being elected. But the aim of the project is not to produce a voter bloc.
"A lot of people who are homeless feel pretty disenfranchised," she said. "I think my main goal is to let people know that they're eligible to register and they can participate in politics."
Registrar Cecile Smith, who is a volunteer, said it is a misconception that citizens need an address to vote, and the homeless could put the park they live in on a registration form and be accepted.
Smith was at the Kaimuki women's shelter on 22nd Avenue Friday morning, registering a group of four -- all of whom will be first-time voters on election day.
Before passing out registration forms to the women, Smith talked about the power of one -- homeless or not.
"We're just trying to reach out to them and go to them so that they have a sense that they're a citizen and they belong," Smith said after the sign-up. "I try to talk to them about the responsibility and the effect that they can have."
Flora Barros-Espana, 26, said she intends to vote for a candidate who pledges to pay more attention to the homeless.
She said she wants more programs for women on the streets, and better aid for mothers without jobs.
"I like find somebody," she said, "who's actually going to help us (the homeless)."
Claire Woods, executive director of the Salvation Army shelter, said she is excited about the homeless-voter drive and hopes the number of registrants continue to climb.
The Kaimuki home is for women with young children who are former drug addicts, and Wood said getting her boarders to vote tells them that they "do have choices in this world."
"One of our core values is empowerment," she said. "That's really the role of voting. They are contributing to our community."
Both Smith and Anderson said the biggest hurdle for the program will be getting the homeless to the polls on election day.
Smith said the nonprofit is asking for help from shelters and might rent buses to shuttle voters.
"We will have to provide something to some of the people," she said.
Meanwhile, Smith continues to get calls from agencies interested in the drive. She is scheduled to go to the Salvation Army's drug rehabilitation clinic on Waokanaka Street today, where more than 60 people are expected to sign up to vote, and the Safe Haven shelter in Honolulu later this month.
"The people are delighted," Smith said. "A lot of it has to do with taking control of your life ... and making them realize that they count, they're important and that they're needed."


Jon M. Chu, the director for "Crazy Rich Asians" spoke with CNN's Ana Cabrera about the film's success and what it means to have an all-Asian cast in Hollywood.
A group of mostly elderly South Koreans traveled to North Korea this morning and saw family members they hadn't seen or heard from since the Korean War started 68 years ago. The reunions, the first since 2015, were made possible because of an agreement signed between South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during their summit earlier this year. Nintely-three families were selected, and more than 60% of them are over 80 years old. One 92-year-old woman saw her 72-year-old son, whom she hadn't seen since he was 4.


A cardio band that adapts to any device? Here is the answer directly from Garmin: HRM-Dual.
The new arrival in the catalog is a cardio belt that can communicate with virtually all the devices on the market thanks to the presence of the double Ant + and Bluetooth protocol.
This allows you to use the cardiac detectors also with gym equipment, smartwatch but also mobile phones equipped with GPS technology and exploiting third-party apps compared to the manufacturer Garmin.
The heart band does not sacrifice bulk and comfort with dual technology, it is adjustable and can be easily washed with neutral soap after removing the module.
With a total weight of 54.4 grams and a battery lasting up to three years, the new Garmin HRM-Dual cardio is available roughly mid February in New Zealand.

Life Image and Dicom Systems Partner to Advance Healthcare Interoperability
by Taylur Ngo | Nov 13, 2018 | Press Releases
Life Image Network with Advanced Data Sharing and Dicom Systems' Internal Integration Expertise Combine to Automate Interoperability Within and Among Organizations Across the Healthcare Ecosystem
Newton, Mass. – November 13, 2018 – Life Image, the world's largest global network for sharing clinical and imaging data, and Dicom Systems, Inc., a leader in enterprise imaging interoperability and workflows, today announced a strategic partnership to streamline clinical content access within and across provider organizations and health systems. Both companies already share a number of hospital customers and are Google Cloud Partners who are enabling novel capabilities in healthcare.
This collaboration will accelerate interoperability by combining the two companies' large networks and integration capabilities, helping organizations to improve care, reduce costs, and drive new levels of workflow efficiency. The partnership will deliver a powerful combination of intra- and inter-system interoperability from Dicom Systems' Enterprise Imaging Unifier Platform which ensures data compatibility among existing information systems (i.e. RIS. HIS, PACS, etc.), and Life Image's global data-sharing network which facilitates the exchange of medical images, diagnostic reports, and other clinical data across provider sites, organizations, and networks.
As part of the agreement, Life Image will offer Unifier as part of the Life Image Interoperability Suite to its growing network of academic medical centers and other leading hospitals across the country. In this new engagement, Dicom Systems and Life Image will apply their combined deep interoperability expertise to meet the industry's growing demand for a comprehensive network that facilitates accessing, sharing, and storing all clinical data across a patient's journey.
"Dicom Systems and Life Image share a longstanding commitment to achieving seamless interoperability in an industry plagued by technical and institutional barriers to the free flow of compatible data," said Dmitriy Tochilnik, President and CTO, Dicom Systems. "Together with Life Image, we will be able to address internal and external compatibility within a single healthcare organization, and fast, accurate, and secure information-sharing across organizations. This allows deeper and wider connections throughout the ecosystem to accelerate the development of the broadest network for medical information access."
"With this pivotal alignment between our companies, we're delivering on a longstanding promise to our customers to unify image sharing in healthcare," said Florent Saint-Clair, Executive VP, Dicom Systems. "Thanks to our consistent commitment to standards-based exchanges, image sharing is about to become as easy and seamless as placing a cell phone call between mobile telecom providers."
Life Image's Interoperability Suite, which integrates into existing workflows, orchestrates the flow of more than 10 million clinical encounters per month, connecting 1,500 U.S. facilities, 8,000 affiliated sites, 150,000 U.S. providers, and 58,000 global clinics with a broader ecosystem of patients, life sciences, medical device companies, and telehealth companies.
"Life Image has spent the past decade growing its global network and mastering standards-based interoperability. That experience has given us some unique insights for facilitating clinical collaboration across health systems," said Matthew A. Michela, President and CEO, Life Image. "Partnering with Dicom Systems significantly expands our ability to meet the needs of healthcare organizations seeking to collaborate efficiently, especially under new value-based care models. With Dicom Systems, we expect to significantly expand the reach of our global network, and make comprehensive data interoperability a reality for healthcare systems across the U.S. and around the world."
Life Image and Dicom Systems will be attending the 2018 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Annual Meeting, scheduled for Nov. 25-30 in Chicago, Illinois.
