Following Bahrain's independence from the British in 1971, the government of Bahrain embarked on an extended period of political suppression under a 1974 State Security Law shortly after the adoption of the country's first formal Constitution in 1973.  Overwhelming objections to state authority resulted in the forced dissolution of the National Assembly by Amir Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa and the suspension of the Constitution until 2001.  The State Security Law of 1974 was a law used by the government of Bahrain to crush political unrest from 1974 until 2001. It was during this period that the worst human rights violations and torture were said to have taken place.  The State Security Law contained measures permitting the government to arrest and imprison individuals without trial for a period of up to three years for crimes relating to state security. A subsequent Decree to the 1974 Act invoked the establishment of State Security Courts, adding to the conditions conducive to the practice of arbitrary arrest and torture.  The deteriorating human rights situation in Bahrain is reported to have reached its height in the mid-1990s (see: 1990s uprising in Bahrain) when thousands of men, women and children were illegally detained, reports of torture and ill-treatment of detainees were documented, and trials fell short of international standards.

Reports from international human rights organizations like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International reveal that throughout its implementation, the State Security Law facilitated the use of routine torture of political prisoners and perpetuated substantial human rights violations for nearly 25 years.  In 2001, Bahrain's current Chief of state, King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa abolished the law and declared Bahrain a constitutional monarchy following a national referendum.

Decree Law on State Security Measures
Issued at Rifaa' Palace on 7 Shawwal 1394 (22 October 1974):

Article 1
If there is serious evidence that a person has perpetrated acts, delivered statements, exercised activities, or has been involved in contacts inside or outside the country, which are of a nature considered to be in violation of the internal or external security of the country, the religious and national interests of the State, its social or economic system; or considered to be an act of sedition that affects or can possibly affect the existing relations between the people and Government, between the various institutions of the State, between the classes of the people, or between those who work in corporations propagating subversive propaganda or disseminating atheistic principles; the Minister of Interior may order the arrest of that person, committing him to one of Bahrain's prisons, searching him, his residence and the place of his work, and may take any measure which he deems necessary for gathering evidence and completing investigations.

The period of detention may not exceed three years. Searches may only be made and the measures provided for in the first paragraph may only be taken upon judicial writ.

Anyone arrested under the provisions of the first paragraph may submit a complaint against the arrest order, after the expiry of three months from the date of its execution, to the Supreme Court of Appeal. The complaint is renewable at the end of every six months from the date of the decree rejecting the complaint.

Article 2
The proceedings of the Court shall always be held in camera and shall only be attended by the prosecution, the complainant and his representative. The proceedings shall be held at the headquarters of the Supreme Court of Appeal. They may be held elsewhere within or outside Manama, if the Court deems it necessary for the maintenance of the security of the country or for considerations of public policy.

Article 3
The court, without observing the procedures stipulated in the Law of Criminal Procedures, may lay down the procedures to be followed by it when it considers the complaints, taking the following into account:

 It shall issue its judgment on the basis of the documents submitted by the prosecution and the complainant.
 The arguments submitted to the Court, whether by the prosecution or by the defence, shall be in writing.
 For the sake of evaluating the evidence and forming its opinion, the Court may require the prosecution to furnish additional reports from those who took part in gathering the evidence provided that this shall be limited to persons other than those whose names, residences and places of work are considered to be secret and are not permitted to be disclosed in the interests of the State.
 It will be sufficient for the defence witnesses of the complainant to present depositions including information concerning the points which the complainant wishes the witnesses to clarify. The Court may refuse to request depositions from the defence witnesses of the complainant if it is of the opinion that the depositions required from them are irrelevant to the event in question. A decision on the complaint may not be postponed because of any delay by these witnesses in presenting their depositions.
 The documents and reports furnished by the prosecution shall be delivered to it in a sealed envelope following the issuance of the Court's judgment. These may not be requested with regard to a new complaint unless there is something new that necessitates viewing them and this shall be permitted by an order of the Court.
 Minutes of the proceedings shall be written in one copy. They may not be reproduced or photocopied and, together with the documents of the defence and prosecution as well as the depositions of witnesses, shall be confidential. Following the issuance of the judgment regarding the complaint, they shall be deposited in the cabinet of the Court after they are placed inside a sealed envelope stamped with the seal of the President of the Court which has considered the complaint. It shall be prohibited to open that envelope or to withdraw it from the cabinet except upon a decree by the Court when it is necessary to view it in connection with another complaint. In such a case, a verbatim record of the procedures followed shall be drawn up, in which the condition of the envelope shall be indicated. Then it shall be resealed according to the above-mentioned procedures and deposited in the cabinet after the complaint has been considered. The same procedures shall be followed with regard to every complaint.
 The Minister of Interior shall be informed of the judgment of the Court as soon as it is pronounced, through a copy of the document containing the judgment.

Article 4
If the arrested person does not submit a complaint according to the procedure laid down in Article one, the prosecution shall submit the documents to the competent court during the period fixed for submission of the complaint, requesting that the implementation of the detention order should continued.

Article 5
The Minister of Interior may, at any time, order the release of a person in respect of whom an arrest order was previously issued in application of the provisions of this law. The detained person shall be released in any case on the last day of the three years referred to in Article one.

Article 6
All persons who are committed to specified prisons in implementation of detention order issued pursuant to Public Security Order No.1 are considered to be detained under this law and the dates for the submission of complaints are applicable to them; they are entitled to submit such complaints from the date on which this law comes into effect.

Article 7
The Public Security Law of 1965, the Declaration issued on the 22nd of April 1965 and Public Security Order No.1 are hereby repealed.

Article 8
A new paragraph (3) shall be added to Article 79 of the Law of Criminal Procedures, the text of which is as follows:

For crimes detrimental to the security of the State, whether they originate inside the State or outside it, which are stipulated in the Penal Code, the detention order shall be for an unspecified period. The person whose detention has been ordered may submit a complaint against the detention to the authority issuing the warrant if one month has elapsed after the issuance of the warrant. The complaint is renewable one month after the decree rejecting the complaint has been issued.

Article 9
The Minister of Interior shall implement this Law, which shall take effect from the date of its publication in the Official Gazette.

Signed by
Emir of The State of Bahrain (Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa);
Prime Minister (Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa);
Minister of Interior (Muhammed bin Khalifa Al Khalifa).

History
The State of Bahrain gained full independence from the British in 1971 and was governed by the Amir, Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa.  The Al Khalifa's were of a Sunni minority ruling over a predominantly Shia majority population.  In 1972, the Amir issued a decree calling for the establishment of a Constitutional Assembly in charge of promulgating the country's first constitution.  The 22-member body completed a constitution in June 1973, which called for the establishment of a 30-member elected National Assembly and national elections in November of that same year.

The political détente between the Al Khalifa family and the disparate forces of civil society unraveled just two years later.  The role of the National Assembly was short-lived, and convened for only two sessions before it was forcibly dissolved by the Amir in 1975 for refusing to ratify the Decree Law on State Security Measures (State Security Law), which allowed the arrest and detention of up to three years without trial of anyone suspected of posing a threat through undefined "acts" or "statements" to Bahrain's internal or external security.  When asked why the National Assembly had been disbanded, Minister of Information Muhammad Ibrahim al-Mutawa'a replied that "it hindered the government" and that it would be restored "once we feel that we need it, when it is suitable for our society and development."

The State Security Law was implemented by force along with a decree that postponed elections of the National Assembly, suspended 40 constitutional articles pertaining to the National Assembly, and transferred legislative powers to the Amir and his Council of Ministers.  Subsequently, no new elections were held for the National Assembly which remained dissolved for 27 years until 2001 when a new constitution was drafted under the auspices of the Amir's successor, and current King of Bahrain Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.

The Amir's unchecked authority by the National Assembly gave him liberty to appoint members of the Al Khalifa family to key political positions in the Bahraini government, including Prime Minister, and the ministers of Interior, Defense, Foreign Affairs and Justice.  Political parties were illegal, and although the constitution guaranteed basic human rights, new decrees that undermined the authority of the constitution severely limited freedoms of speech, religion, press, rights to public and private assembly, and rights of persons deprived of liberty.  The State Security Law along with Amiri Decree No. 7 of 1976 established a State Security Court where most due process protections were absent and violated human rights standards of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as domestic codes in Bahrain's own legislation, like its 1966 Code of Criminal Procedure.

Revocation of political and civil liberties
The former government of Bahrain developed a pattern of systemic human rights violations against citizens who raised demands for the reinstitution of the national constitution and the reconvening of the National Assembly, both of which were abolished under the State Security Law.  Arbitrary arrests, coerced "confessions" under duress, pre-trial detention, unfair trials, and legal introduction of capital law offences were widespread, especially towards the majority Shia population of Bahrain.

In 1976, the Bahraini government instituted a new penal code that nullified many of the civil liberties and political rights protected under the 1973 Constitution and effectively criminalized a wide range of nonviolent political activities.  Over the subsequent two decades, more decrees followed that further undermined fundamental political and civil rights.  Bahrain's citizens were prone to search and seizure, or incarceration without charge or trial for speaking out publicly in a manner that the government considered hostile or critical.  All internal and external communications with Bahraini citizens were monitored, political parties and organizations were proscribed, freedom of assembly required authorization that was rarely given, and the state controlled the press by censorship of domestic political material or any mention of Bahrain's neighboring countries.

By the end of the 1970s the leftist and secularist national opposition had been crippled by waves of arrests and forced exile.  The Iranian Revolution of 1979 incited an empowering and enthusiastic response amongst the Shia population, which manifested itself into oppositional organizations like the Islamic Front for the Liberation of Bahrain but also in a more generalized sense against a government with a strong sectarian animus with regard to its well-being and empowerment.  In 1981, 73 people were arrested by the government on charges of plotting to overthrow the state with the support of Iran, and initiated an influx of accusations against citizens allegedly involved with international terrorist organizations or extremist groups tied to Iran's government.  The Bahraini government consistently dismissed sectarian unrest as the work of Hezbollah militants instigated and supported by Iran. Members of Bahrain's Shia community were systematically targeted in peaceful protests and unprovoked gatherings like funerals processions.  The brutality with which authorities sought to quell uprisings was characterized by the repeated use of live ammunition to disperse crowds, and the consequent killing of unarmed civilians.

Following the Gulf War in 1991, a climate of improved human rights allowed for several citizens in exile to return to Bahrain and at least twenty prisoners convicted for their involvement in Bahrain's alleged coup attempt were released.  This period of acquiescence was short-lived as widespread discontent in the continued absence of political and civil rights persisted and the government remained idle.  In January 1993, a petition requesting new dialogue on restoring democratic rights was signed by leading Sunni and Shia personalities and submitted to the Amir but was met with a negative response.  Two months prior to this petition, the Amir called for the establishment of a Majlis al Shura (Upper House); a placebo democratic body whose 30 members were appointed by the government and had no legislative powers.  The Council still exists today under Bahrain's executive branch, where members are appointed and play a more functional role as a parliamentary upper-house.

In December 1994, protestors took to the streets demanding the restoration of democratic rights and the reconvening of the National Assembly.  The Bahraini government responded by ignoring the demands and stifled calls for political change through rampant human rights violations.  Thousands of men, women and children (as young as nine and ten years of age) were detained in a ten-month period between December 1994 and October 1995 under arbitrary accusations under the State Security Law.  At least 100 were subsequently charged and convicted to terms of imprisonment, and in one case death.  Two prisoners died while in police custody.  Police forces and riot police were deployed against protestors and used violent means to disperse crowds.  By 1995, ten confirmed deaths of Bahraini nationals presented circumstances that suggest they may have been extrajudicially executed, and at least twenty Bahraini nationals were exiled or denied entry when trying to return to the country.

Torture

Torture remained rife in Bahraini prisons under the State Security Law and was most often conducted in the initial phases of detention against persons undergoing interrogation.  In addition to extracting "confessions" from suspects during these interrogations, torture was a method employed to obtain signatures from detainees to renounce political affiliations, desist from anti-government activities in the future, or force their cooperation with authorities by reporting activities of others, namely, political opponents.  Statements from former political detainees indicate that common forms of torture included: physical beatings, psychological abuse, sexual molestation, threats against the detainee's family and friends, and insults and humiliation towards the detainee and the Shia faith.

The Bahraini government failed to release the names of individuals who were arrested or the locations where they were detained.  The vast majority of these individuals were denied defense attorneys or access to family members during their detention, and were tried privately by the government's State Security Court, where most due process protections were absent. No efforts were made to investigate allegations of torture or the deaths of demonstrators for reform.  The Bahraini government continued to deny human rights organizations like Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch entry to the country for official information-gathering trips to investigate allegations of torture and human rights abuses.

The Bahraini government continually denied that forces under its authority committed widespread violations of human rights, that it remained within the legal boundaries with regard to arrest and judicial procedures, and that detainees received fair trials and treatment while in custody.  The government also denied that it sanctioned any form of torture or physical abuse in any manner.  The government legitimized its strong-arm tactics by citing incidents of violence committed against security forces and acts of sabotage perpetrated by "extremist elements."   Bahrain's Ambassador to the United States in 1997 reaffirmed his government's position, noting that the human rights "allegations made against Bahrain originate[d] from a very small, but skillful group of fundamentalist zealots and extremists, who [were] connected to terrorists in Bahrain." No evidence was produced by the government to support these statements or others proving foreign involvement in Bahrain's domestic affairs as the source of domestic tensions or as justification for the manner in which authorities handled political unrest.  Furthermore, there is no evidence that persons responsible for condoning acts of torture were disciplined for those acts.  The current government introduced an Amnesty Decree that prevents impunity for crimes committed under the former constitution.  To date, no alleged perpetrator has been tried for torture or ill treatment even though the practice of torture in Bahrain during the 1980s and 1990s has been well documented.

Death of the Amir and abolition of the State Security Law

Following the death of Sheikh Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa in 1999, his son, Sheikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa ascended to the throne as Amir.  Shortly after his succession, Sheikh Hamad embarked on a new era of democratic reform, and by November 2000, established a committee to draft a blueprint to transform Bahrain from a hereditary emirate to a constitutional monarchy within two years.  A resulting "National Action Charter" was presented to the Bahraini public in the country's first comprehensive referendum vote since the dissolution of Parliament in 1974, where 94.8% of voters overwhelmingly endorsed the charter.  On February 5, 2001, Sheikh Hamad issued a Decree of Amnesty that pardoned all political prisoners indicted for state security crimes whether they were detained, facing charges, or convicted either in Bahrain or while exiled abroad.  The Amnesty Decree enabled all citizens involved in political and security cases during the security state era to return to Bahrain without having to face charges, resulting in the repatriation of hundreds to the country.  On October 21, 2010, the Bahraini government reported that 43 Amnesty Decrees Laws have been issued since 2001 pardoning 2,639 convicts indicted for involvement in terror or state security cases.  Following the implementation of the February 5 Amnesty Law, Sheikh Hamad officially abolished the State Security Law and State Security Courts that were implemented during his father's rule.  One year later in February 2002 after the national referendum, Sheikh Hamad pronounced Bahrain a constitutional monarchy and changed his title from Amir to King.

Reemergence of human rights violations and allegations of torture

In February 2010, Human Rights Watch hosted a news conference during the release of its report on recent allegations of torture in Bahrain.  The report indicated that Bahrain had successfully ended the use of torture for a good part of the last decade but raised concerns over a recent lack of interest for the government to investigate newly documented cases of abuse.  Since the release of this report, hundreds of young men and 23 more prominent citizens, including four Shia clerics were arrested just weeks before the country's parliamentary elections on charges of spreading false information, inciting violence, fomenting terrorism or plotting the government's overthrow.  Independent observers reckon that the accusations of torture against those who have been arrested are credible and believe that the government is overreacting without a shred of evidence to support that the opposition is plotting to overthrow the current government.  According to an August 2010 article featured in The Economist, "Rising sectarian tension, the government's overreaction to the protests and the blatant harassment of opposition parties, particularly the main Shia-dominated one, are all tarnishing Bahrain's reputation as a fledgling if limited democracy."

Italian builder lays out its sustainability priorities post-pandemic
Benetti's Livorno Shipyard
Italy's Benetti Yachts has spoken of its renewed commitment to reducing the overall carbon footprint of both its production process and boat design in the wake of the pandemic.
The family-owned company made its first major sustainability efforts in 2002, with the introduction of the first hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system on 65-metre Ambrosia, which was bought by Hong Kong's Ambrous Young and hit the water in 2006.

In the two decades since, the company has sought to place emphasis on limiting its carbon footprint across construction and design to give its owners forward-thinking options.
"At Benetti, we deliver our enduring passion for the sea and for sailing by combining Italian craftsmanship and innovation into every yacht we design and build. Following the pandemic, we've accelerated our commitment to reducing carbon footprint. It's time, money and resources that we feel are worth it," says Peter Mahony, General Manager at Benetti Yachts Asia.
"Fortunately, the Benetti company mission is supported by a growing trend across Asia for innovative and forward-thinking options. With a Benetti yacht, we have a sweet spot where green awareness technology meets the utmost quality and comfort, which is possible through constant innovation and research."
The company has placed efforts on hybrid engines to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, using carefully chosen material and components for improving onboard efficiency.
Both the 107-metre Luminosity and Asia market-favourite, the Benetti B.Yond 37M, are equipped with hybrid propulsion systems to reduce environmental impact and fuel consumption.
Luminosity is the biggest hybrid in the world, and features an intelligent propulsion system, while B.Yond 37M has proven a popular yacht in the Asian market due to its reduced environmental impact with the hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system, developed by the Siemens Marine Global Competence Centre in Italy.
The B.Yond series is the company's first foray into yachts suited for long-range cruising. There are now two in build, with the first to be launched in the autumn of 2021.

Benetti has also been implementing sustainable improvements at the Livorno and Viareggio Italian shipyards to enhance energy efficiency and reduce pollution and wastage.
These measures include new high-power stations for moored gigayachts of over 100 metres, to reduce fuel consumption; replacing incandescent light bulbs with LED lamps; installing a photovoltaic plant and a solar thermal system to reduce methane greenhouse gases, and insulating the Livorno shipyard sheds with cladding to enhance energy efficiency at thermal and acoustic levels.

Faroese art
Title: Faroese art
Subject: Art of Slovenia, Faroese literature, Czech art, Luxembourg art, Icelandic art
The very first Faroese sculptor Janus Kamban by artist Hans Pauli Olsen, the most successful and popular Faroese sculptor nowadays. He works mainly with bronze
Faroese art is art by artists living in the Faroe Islands and art by Faroese nationals living abroad. In the Faroe Islands art is an important part of everyday life and in the public debate. It may be the special light in the Faroes which causes so many to express themselves in painting. The everchanging Faroese weather and light, provides opportunities for endless nuances. Something which has fascinated both foreign and local artists over the years. However, the history of Faroese art is short, and can only be dated a couple of hundred years back. Lack of time, light and materiel may have caused the late appearance of painting. But despite of this, the islands have a very active art scene. A great many of the Faroese artists of today resent being reminded of the fact that Faroese art is a comparatively recent phenomenon. They find such an observation annoying as regards their artistic work, and they claim that such a statement has no bearing whatsoever on them as artists as their frame of reference is both local and global.[1]
With the first Faroese painters the landscape became a national icon and it has remained the central topic in Faroese visual art. The grip that Faroese art, motifically speaking, takes on the Faroese landscape might seem to be a rather old fashioned approach to visual art. The interest in installations, minimalism and conceptual art, has so far not affected Faroese art much. The village by the ocean is probably the motif which has been repeated the most. Danish art critic Ole Nørlyng concludes that nature, the wild landscape, is the driving force behind Faroese artists.[2] but except for a close affinity with the landscape and culture of the Islands, there has always been great diversity in Faroese art.

Díðrikur á Skarvanesi (1802-1865). This is one of the oldest preserved works in Faroese art. This painting together with four others by the same artist represent the beginning of the history of Faroese visuel art
The first paintings art historians are familiar with are those by Díðrikur í Kárastovu. He was a farmer who commonly was known as Díðrikur á Skarvanesi (1802–1865). Díðrikur was settled in a small village, Skarvanes, on the island Sandoy. His subjects were real and imaginary birds in vivid colours. Although not in perfect condition, five of his paintings have been preserved. They are a feature in the permanent exhibition at the national Faroese art museum, Listasavn Føroya. One of his better paintings is entitled Moon Doves.
Niels Kruse (1871–1951) was the first Faroese landscape painter, a theme which was to become a most common motif in Faroese art. Kruse lived in the village Eiði on the island Eysturoy. Kruse was almost completely self-taught. He was fortunate enough to receive some help and advice from an American explorer, Elizabeth Taylor, who stayed in the Faroes in 1895. In 1924 one of his works was accepted by a gallery in Denmark. This marked a turning point in Faroese art history, as this was the first time ever a painter had succeeded outside of the Islands. Kruse even managed to make a living from his painting, again something which earlier had been unheard of.
There were some other painters from this early generation. Both Kristin í Geil and Jógvan Waagstein are worth mentioning. Both of them were well settled in Tórshavn. And again, these two were self-taught landscape painters. As was the case with Kruse, Waagstein received knowledge and advice from Elizabeth Taylor. Later on í Geil received some schooling from Kruse. These two latter, however, never made their living exclusively from painting.
These painters were all pioneers in the field of visual art in the Faroes, and they helped to make their fellow countrymen aware of the art of painting. The late 19th century marks the beginning of a Faroese art tradition slowly developing for the first time. There are several reasons for this being so. The arrival of Elizabeth Taylor with her knowledge of art helped to inspired several to start painting. And most importantly the late 19th century sparked the beginning of the national movement. The national revival brought with it the love of the landscape - a brand new theme which was to become a national icon, more so than anywhere in visual art. The theme came to dominate all through the 20th century.
With the first painters, the love and affection of the homeland was obvious, and still in the 21st Century the theme is being treated by a new generation of artists. However, several painters contributed to Faroese artists developing a passion for many different styles and subjects.
The mothers and fathers of Faroese art
The real history of Faroese art starts in the year 1927. This year, three young artists held an exhibition in Tórshavn. Two of these were Sámal Joensen-Mikines (1906–1979) and William Heinesen (1900–1990)
The first, Mikines, came to be known as the father of Faroese art and the first Faroese artist to become internationally recognised. More importantly he was the very first Faroese artist to acquire an artistic degree. Mikines began his education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen in 1928 with Aksel Jørgensen and Ejnar Nielsen as his teachers. Mikines was artistically highly inspired by the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, and had a great admiration for El Greco and Delacroix. His early paintings are naturalistic, but later he became an expressive figurative painter. He was very original in his choice of colour and design. Mikines demonstrated a new approach to substance and form in painting which had a profound influence on Faroese art. He painted funerals, steep mountains and landscapes. His paintings of pilot whaling became important to future artists. He introduced the possibility of allowing the landscape to mirror the painter´s inner life.
William Heinesen was a very different type of artist. Literature was his vocation. Although he considered himself an amateur in visual art, he created some very important works in Faroese art. His imagery doesn't evolve around the landscape. Folktale, satire and everyday life are Heinesen's subjects.

Post World War II
During this period a new era had begun in Faroese visual art. Mikines wasn't the only one from his generation who received his formal training in Copenhagen. Faroese art experienced a virtual blossoming after World War II, when several talented and productive artists returned to the Faroe Islands after finishing their studies in Denmark. The range of motifs and styles were greatly expanded.
A new generation of artists, who had acquired artistic degrees didn't want to use their art for the sole purpose of expressing their love for their country. The ones who followed included the classical modernist Ingálvur av Reyni (1920–2005). Together with Mikines and Heinesen, these are the mothers and fathers of Faroese art.
Kamban was the first Faroese sculptor. In style he ranges from the strictly naturalistic to the classically simple. His subjects are usually people, and he uses clay, bronze and basaltic rock for his sculptures. As a graphic artist, Kamban mostly portrays the Faroese landscape.
Smith was one of the most talented Faroese artists. Her subjects were scenery and faces. She worked very consciously with colour. Over a period of twenty years she painted numerous self-portraits, one has been held as one of the finest portraits in Scandinavian art.
Lützen´s work is full of creatures from the world of myth, legend and folktale. With Lützen the graphic arts became an independent art form which enriched the artistic milieu through her all-absorbing interest in the technique of linocut, and the result of her artistic work is of high quality and intensity measured by any standard.[1]
Av Reyni has been the most influential of them all. The dynamic lines and the temperamental pastose brushwork has become a vital part the Faroese painting tradition. Av Reyni introduced cubism, abstract expressionism and suprematism to the Faroes. His early works were rather naturalistic landscapes, but in the early 1960s he dissolved the romantic and impressionist landscape, when he started to paint more and more abstract. His paintings usually contain a figurative core, which is described by the title of his paintings. As a black-and-white artist, he has drawn many portraits as well as landscapes. He is ranked as one of the great modernists in Scandinavia.
The landscape expressionists
Light art inside deep-sea tunnel Norðoyatunnilin by Tróndur Patursson, who is well known both as a painter and as a sculptor. Above all, he is widely known for his glass paintings.
The common denomination "landscape expressionist" comprises a group of diverse artists, solely because the nature and landscape are central themes in their work. Zacharias Heinesen (1936), Thomas Arge (1942–1978), Tróndur Patursson (1943), Torbjørn Olsen (1956), Barður Jákupsson (1943) and Amariel Norðoy (1945) all belong to this group, as do many others. This large generation of painters from the 1930´s to 1960´s has been able to find common stylistic expressions. They exploit the full spectrum of the formal possibilities painting has to offer. They work with the unified whole and detail. Sometimes the subject matter almost disappears in the pure abstraction of the colours and forms, but rarely completely. A reminiscence of the landscape always remains. Not as a true-to-life reproduction, but as a landscape experience which is communicated via a variety of temperaments.[3] So great has their contribution to Faroese art been that for a long time a genuine Faroese painting should preferably be a highly colouristic, expressive and semi abstract landscape, filled with North-Atlantic drama. It's not an unusual criticism that Faroese art relies too heavily on nature as a motif. But when the variety of expression is taken into account, the criticism doesn't seem fair.
Zacharias Heinesen has in his paintings explored the light and colours of the landscape and tried to render the ephemeral moment.
In Thomas Arge´s paintings we get a glimpse of the inner structures, shapes and colours of the landscape.
Bárður Jákupsson has found shapes and colours that others probably do not notice in Faroese Nature.
In Tróndur Patursson´s work it is the sense of immensity of nature that gains significance.
The village by the ocean is probably the motif which has been repeated the most in Faroese art. In Countless paintings Amariel Norðoy has repeated the motif and shown it contains unlimited possibilities.
But despite the light and distinct colours of nature and scenery, Faroese art is not exclusively landscape.
Contemporary Faroese art
The landscape has been the national theme of Faroese painting, arguably as a collectively chosen shell around the core of modern painting. In recent years, however, other subjects have emerged and appear to be edging out the landscape. The common denominator for the younger generation of Faroese artists is that they all have managed to outline new directions for Faroese art, while at the same time, relating with insight to the Faroese landscape tradition. The interest in the human mind, existential or philosophical questions or the internal landscapes seems to rise. The postmodern interest in contemporary philosophy, mass media and politics has begun to appear in Faroese art, and has emerged concomitantly with its appearance in other countries. One of the artist working in this field is Ole Wich (1953), who has worked with cross media art on the internet connected to present political and culturel issues in the faroese society, as well as conceptuel pieces places between visual expression and science.
The Faroese visual art has hardly ever been as manifold as it is today, although the genre remains traditional painting. There is a lot of pessimism among the artists themselves. They are doubtful of the future of Faroese art and they fear that the small-scaled nature and isolation of Faroese art may prove to be insurmountable handicaps. In the long run, they say 50,000 people and a couple of dozen artists will not be able to sustain a living artistic culture. Naturally, there is a danger that it might stagnate and die from lack of nourishment. At the same time, it is difficult to see how things could go so wrong while the need is so great.[4]
There are many young artists who are currently identifying new paths for Faroese art. The younger generation of Faroese artists has mainly chosen to reside abroad as has Hansina Iversen, who is based in Copenhagen and Hanni Bjartalíð in Helsinki.
Hansina Iversen (1966) ostensibly distances herself from nature as a motif. Her pictures are non-figurative and pure, seemingly purified of motif. The smooth fluency of her works are an exploration of the absolute and, thus, nature. Iversen has created a new philosophical approach to the Faroese Landscape tradition.
Hanni Bjartalíð (1968) uses humour to describe man´s relation to nature. His imagery is primarily of the modern world. Modern man´s alienation from nature is a natural theme in his art. Bjartalíð demonstrates great freedom regarding Faroese and Nordic art landscape traditions, which are associated with romantic conception of a unique Nordic soul characterised by a close relation to nature.
Edward Fuglø (1965) avoids landscapes; his symbolism concerns people. He creates surreal-comic and ironic paintings. Fuglø observes and mocks people – mostly men – in their absurd activities. The images are always pointed at political or perhaps art-political commentary. His imagery is in many ways innovative in the Faroese tradition. Fuglø is also one of the best illustrators in the Faroes.
In the Faroe Islands there is a great interest in buying Faroese art to decorate your home with. This appreciation means that it´s easy to find art galleries round about the islands. Some galleries are dedicated to local artists, while others have regular exhibitions. But the number of art galleries is highest in Tórshavn.
The largest collection af Faroese art is on display at Listasavn Føroya, the art museum in Tórshavn
In Tórshavn you will find the national art museum Listasavn Føroya. The Art Museum was founded in 1989. The present gallery was opened in 1993. The exhibition building is faced with black tarred wood, and has elements of traditional Faroese building. It is surrounded by trees, as it´s situated next to a park. The permanent collection displays some of the best works by William Heinesen, Ingálvur av Reyni and Sámal Mikines. Each year two exhibitions take place that focus exclusively on Faroese artists. The first one is the spring exhibition in May; the second is the annual Saint Olav's Day exhibition in late July. Whereas the first one exclusively features professional artists, the latter one mainly features amateurs.
Listahøllin is situated in a green concrete building at Tórshavn Shipyard.
In Vágur located in the island Suðuroy the southernmost island, there is a Ruth Smith Art Museum. The art museum has artworks (paintings and drawings) made by Ruth Smith.
In Sandur, the main village on Sandoy, there is an art museum "Listasavnið á Sandi" with artworks (paintings, sculptures etc.) by various Faroese artists. The art collection and the museum building was donated to the village in 2005 by a Sofus Olsen, who grew up in Sandur, but lived in Tórshavn for many years. The museum opened on his 92nd birthday.
Art on stamps
Several paintings by Faroese artists have been featured on stamps. All Faroese stamp editions are about items relating to the Faroes and most of them are designed by Faroese artists. Faroese art is among the main motifs, both in reproductions of important paintings and in involving the artists in drawing stamps.

Peugeot 508 GT getting new 2.0TD, part of Euro 6 rollout
Car News, Diesel, Peugeot, Turbo
Peugeot Australia will soon announce a range of new engines that are Euro 6 compliant, from PSA's latest PureTech petrol and BlueHDi diesel engine family.
The new units will become some of the first Euro-6-certified engines to hit Australia. In the first rollout we'll see a new turbo-diesel for the flagship 508 GT models, and then other new engines will debut with model updates and full model changes further down the track.
For the 508 GT local customers will be able to enjoy a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder producing 133kW and 400Nm, replacing the current 2.2-litre Euro 5 diesel. Despite a drop in output from 150kW/450Nm, fuel economy drops from 5.3L/100km to just 4.0L/100km. Acceleration from 0-100km/h is achieved in 8.6 seconds, which is only just off the 8.5-second time we achieved in the current 2.2 version.
The new 2.0-litre will join existing 308 models that already feature Euro 6 PureTech petrol and BlueHDi diesel units during the third quarter of this year. Prices are yet to be announced for the update.
Peugeot Australia is yet to reveal details about the rest of the rollout but we can expect further announcements later in the year. It will be part of Peugeot's continuing commitment to reducing overall showroom emissions and fleet average fuel consumption.
The local arm says that over 85 per cent of all 308s sold in Australia are equipped with a Euro 6 engine already. This should help the brand further improve on its high global standing as a renowned eco-engine producer. In fact, Peugeot was ranked in the top three in the overall European CAFE standings last year.

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – Romania on Thursday announced it had agreed to the new US anti-missile defence shield envisaged by the Obama administration after scrapping initial plans in Poland and the Czech Republic.
In a brief statement, Romanian President Traian Basescu said the country's top security body had accepted Mr Obama's invitation to host parts of the American anti-missile defence shield.
Mr Basescu stressed that the system was aimed against threats coming from countries such as Iran, not Russia, in anticipation of potential criticism from Moscow. Previous plans tabled by the George W. Bush administration, which would have put the interceptors in Poland and a radar in the Czech Republic, had been seen as a direct threat to Russia.
The Obama administration decided to scrap those plans, an announcement that caused a stir in Warsaw, especially as a result of the timing, made on the very day when the country was remembering the 60th anniversary of the Soviet invasion.
Mr Basescu also pointed to the fact that the previous version would not have covered his country's territory in case of an Iranian attack, as the range of the Polish-based shield would have reached its limit somewhere in western Romania.
The Romanian Parliament has the last say on the deal, with the new facilities expected to become operational in 2015.
"The US has determined that Romania is well-suited for the location of this system to provide protection for European Nato Allies," the US embassy in Bucharest said in a statement.
Foreign minister Teodor Baconschi said the plan was first presented to Mr Basescu during a visit by US vice-president Joe Biden to Bucharest in October but was not made public.
Romania is already hosting US training facilities for its military, part of a Pentagon shift from large Cold War-era centres in Germany toward smaller and "more flexible" installations closer to the Middle East.
It was also embroiled in a scandal surrounding alleged secret CIA prisons as part of the so-called rendition programme developed by the Bush administration during the "war on terror", in which individuals were secretly flown out of countries like Afghanistan to intermediate locations before being released or transferred to the prison in Guantanamo, Cuba.
Back in Washington, US State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said this announcement was a "first step" in terms of the new anti-missile shield architecture, which would later also include ship-based interceptors in the Black Sea.
Mr Crowley also noted that Poland was still in talks for a "northern land-based" missile site. "That development is still under consideration and discussion with Poland," he said.
The spokesman insisted as well that the new shield was not aimed at Russia, but against "the emerging threat coming to the region from Iran."

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York City is investigating Donald Trump's practice of closing down the public atrium in Trump Tower for presidential campaign events that are off limits to the public.
In order to add more floors than zoning rules would otherwise allow, Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, agreed to create a two-story public atrium on the ground and lower floors of the building, which opened in 1983 on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue.
But security staff wearing Trump badges spent several hours shooing away a growing crowd of New Yorkers and tourists from the doors on Tuesday morning after Trump decided to hold a news conference in the atrium to discuss his fundraising for veterans groups.
"Department of Buildings inspectors will be investigating the allegations that the (public atrium) was closed contrary to the building owner's agreement with the city," Joe Soldevere, a department spokesman, told Reuters on Tuesday.
There are scores of "privately owned public spaces," or POPS, throughout New York City, intended as a trade-off between developers who want to build taller and preserving space for the public in the city's densest neighborhoods.
In the case of Trump Tower, the 6,000-square-foot public atrium, which is lined with pink marble, must be open to the public between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. every day, a fact advertised in large gold letters over the building's Fifth Avenue entrance.
As with other such spaces, it can be closed up to four times a year for a private event after permission from city officials.
Trump has held several events in the public areas of Trump Tower since launching his campaign in the atrium there last June.
Officials at the Department of City Planning, which grants permission to close a POPS for an event, and the Department of Buildings, which investigates violations, said they had no record of Trump ever seeking or being granted permission to shut out the public for a campaign event.
The investigation was prompted by media reports of the news conference.
Inspectors will seek evidence that the public was denied access without the city's permission, including testimony from anyone turned away. Violations carry a $4,000 fine.
Michael Cohen, an executive vice president for the Trump Organization, said his staff was trying to locate the text of the agreement with the city, and could not immediately confirm or deny the suggestion that closing the atrium was a violation.
Trump lives in a penthouse in the tower with his family and has his main office there.
He previously battled with the city over the space, most recently after he replaced a bench there with a kiosk selling Trump merchandise. A city judge ruled the kiosk violated Trump's agreement with the city, and Trump agreed to removed the kiosk in January and pay a $4,000 fine.

Prevalence and associated determinants of malaria parasites among Kenyan children
Marufa Sultana, Nurnabi Sheikh, Rashidul Alam Mahumud, Tania Jahir, Ziaul Islam, Abdur Razzaque Sarker
BACKGROUND: Approximately 80% of deaths attributed to malaria worldwide occurred mainly in Africa in 2015. Kenya is one of the major malaria endemic countries, making malaria the leading public health concern in this country. This study intended to document the prevalence of malaria and determine associated factors including socioeconomic status among children aged 6 months to 14 years in Kenya.
METHODS: This study analyzed the secondary data extracted from the 2015 Kenya Malaria Indicator Survey (KMIS), a cross-sectional country representative survey. Associations of demographic, socioeconomic, community-based, and behavioral factors with the prevalence of malaria in children were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression analysis.
RESULTS: Data from 7040 children aged 6 months to 14 years were analyzed. The prevalence of malaria showed an upward trend in terms of age, with the highest prevalence among children aged 11-14 years. Prevalence was also higher among rural children (10.16%) compared to urban children (2.93%), as well as poor children (11.05%) compared to rich children (3.23%). The likelihood of having malaria was higher among children aged 10-14 years (AOR = 4.47, 95% CI = 3.33, 6.02; P < 0.001) compared with children aged under 5 years. The presence of anemia (AOR = 3.52, 95% CI = 2.78, 4.45; P < 0.001), rural residence (AOR = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.31, 2.22; P < 0.001), lack of a hanging mosquito net (AOR = 2.38, 95% CI = 1.78, 3.19; P < 0.001), primary education level of the household head (AOR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.08, 2.25; P < 0.05), and other factors, such as the household having electricity and access to media such as television or radio, were also associated with the likelihood of infection.
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated the need to focus on awareness programs to prevent malaria and to use existing knowledge in practice to control the malaria burden in Kenya. Furthermore, this study suggests that improving the information available through the mass media and introducing behavior change communication and intervention program specifically for those of poor socioeconomic status will help to reduce malaria cases.

"I paint Alaskan animals of the Twentieth Century." Alvin Amason, who is Alutiiq, grew up in Kodiak, Alaska, but has journeyed beyond his native land, geographically and aesthetically.
"I'm glad I have my heritage, but I don't want to rely on it. You see, culture just doesn't work if it is put on a shelf, in a jar, in a museum. It is a living thing. Time goes on and cultural elements change."
Amason received his MFA from Arizona State University.
He has lived in Rhode Island and Oakland, California feeling the professional challenge of being in the mainstream of American contemporary art. But Alvin is uncomfortable if he is away from Kodiak for too long. He begins to take himself too seriously. The sophisticated contemporary style reflects his education, by the humor and obvious endearment he holds for the images of Alaska are inspired by a childhood rich in warmth and simplicity.
Amason was raised catching fish, digging for clams and asking questions. "Papa, why do salmon jump?" He had asked a lot of people that but his grandfather's answer made the most sense to him. "They jump to see where they're at." Alvin Eli Amason, like the salmon, returns to Kodiak regularly, jumping up out of the mainstream to 'see where he's at.'

Purchased a three tier bench for my garage. Very pleased with this. Easy to keep clean and has the storage I need. My sons assembled the bench seemingly without difficulty.
item arrived within two days, but some parts bent. Discussed with Brett who arranged replacement which again arrived in two days. No assembly instructions were sent and had to find them on the website - should have been referred to this page when ordering - or did I miss it?!! Items constructed and very pleased.


The house can be repainted over the current colors. New furniture or lighting brings about a certain change in the house that changes the way one sees the house. Additionally, these changes are remotely cheap than the alternatives of renovating the house or more drastic: buying a new house that suits your requirements of aesthetic beauty. However, not all the changes that are made to improve the house need be this drastic.
Painting in the house is a simple and one of the most effective methods of changing the look of the house or the room that needs a remodeling. However, this is not the same as building the wall over again, it is still very effective. The option of restructuring the house and breaking down walls will not only increase the expenditure but also the time required.
Paint on the other hand can be completely done and dried off in a day and the work will be complete. However, paint is not applicable on many materials. Thanks to modern day advancements, alternative methods are available which can help in applying paint over many substances.
2 What alternatives are there to paneling?
Panels can be termed as wall structures that were extremely popular back in the 70s. They are in high numbers in houses built in those era and are long lasting. There are two types of paneling that are common: Wooden paneling and tiles paneling.
They are inexpensive however they have their own drawbacks. For example, wooden paneling will expand and contract according to the temperature variation in the surroundings. In addition, these are also affected by moisture and so can swell with air bubbles. Additionally, these wooden panels can develop grooves and ridges which do not look appealing in the long run.
Tile paneling on the other hand develop a yellow hue to their surface as time passes. That can be easily cleaned off but it needs to be done again and again. Additionally, these types of paneling lose their surface shine after repetitive cleaning and hence they do not retain their appeal after certain amount of time.
What alternatives are there to paneling?
This is huge task for someone who wishes to complete the entire project by themselves. The panels need to be unscrewed first then they need to remove. After that, the person needs to replace the structure with drywall and redecorate the wall again.
This process is longer, more expensive and is cumbersome. One can easily hire a professional to do the job but then the expenses increase manifold. This process usually takes about a couple of days and it drills a hole in your wallet when complete. In addition, there will be an additional layer of paint to be done to complete the task.
This is the most recommended option as it is not only cheaper than its alternative but also it involves less time. The entire process can be done in less than a day if done properly. It is cost effective and not entirely onerous on the person performing it. Thus, it can be done by oneself too and it saves money on the hired help.
If then one has decided that this is the way to go then how should one go about it? Like many other things, a certain number of steps need to be followed to successfully complete this task. They are simple to follow and even simpler to perform.
Buying the paintbrush, roller, sand paper and other materials that one will need in this process. Having an extra pair of clothes and waste materials will also help. In addition, one should have adequate space to relocate the furniture from the room that is going to be painted.
Cover the furniture with plastic drapes and start cleaning the panels. Use a broom or other waste material to clean the dust off the panels so that they can be worked upon now. Remove the cobwebs and insect residues from the walls, if any. Lastly, the grease and oil deposited on the wall needs to be scraped off. The panels need to be clean as new.
This is the most important step in the entire process, apart from the actual painting itself. Sanding uses sand paper to scrap off the panels to flatten out the irregularities among the walls. If anyone has done sanding then you would know that sanding is an extremely taxing job to do. It creates a lot of dust and the dust still can be found after a couple of days of cleaning. To achieve the perfect level of flat surface is difficult and that skill requires days of efforts.
The alternative to that step is scuffing technique. It is also sanding, but it only removes the layer of paneling superficially. This is helpful as the surface to be painted on is not walls but is paneling. Here not a lot of sanding is required and can be achieved easily. Comparatively less draining on the person as sanding, we advise the user to complete this process by scuffing.
Primer is the material that needs to be put over the scuffed paneling. The choice of primer is important as any primer material will not do the job and a special primer needs to be used. A normal primer will not adhere to the panels. Scuffing helps creating open bonds between the panels for adequate mechanical bonding.
A TSP primer is usually advised to complete the primer. Using the paintbrush, the margins of the panel need to be marked off first. The TSP primer is an oil based primer so it helps in increasing the overall moisture resistance of the paneling.
Secondly, the use of a paint roller will be sufficient for a uniform coating of the primer.
Depending upon the smoothness achieved, multiple coating of primer can be done. Each coating needs about two hours of time to dry out so two coats will need four hours approximately. Lastly, the color of paneling will determine the amount of coats that are needed for this job.
The color chosen is depended upon you and it should be able to match with the surroundings of the house. The furniture color, the drapes and lighting used should not look odd with the color of the paint job. The paint should also be a oil based paint to again strength the resistance to moisture of the paneling. The house should look open and lively so using a lighter shade like blue or yellow will do.
You can choose paint brush, roller or paint sprayer for painting purpose. Pour over the paint over the tray and cover the roller with it. Mark the boundaries of the panels which need to be painted and use the roller for the central area. This can be done to flatten the paint and get an even tone of the color. The roller can also be used to rectify the coarse rough finish of the paintbrush.
We would recommend a two layer coating of the paint so that the color is more intense. It is also in the second coating that patterns can be etched over the wall. Patterns can be the paintbrush strokes or other similar methods. Another popular method is to have highlighting color which is different from the rest of the room's color. Both the methods are extremely popular and look terrific on the panels.
Now that the paint is dried off, the last step would be to finish the entire the process. This would mean cleaning the room with a vacuum cleaner first. The sanding residues will be properly sucked away from the cleaner and then the floor can be wiped clean with solvent.
The plastics be removed and the furniture can be kept back to its original place. Or they can be relocated and shifted to another location the room. It does not hurt to experiment a bit and thus, the room preparations can be finished.
The paint and its accessories need to be properly disposed off. Paint decomposes after sometime and is hazardous to nature and life alike. The paint brush and roller will need to be kept off safe or need to be disposed similarly to the panel. Lastly, the lighting and other furniture will need to match with the color of the paint. This will increase the look of the room and add years to the problematic life of the panel.

This has been a very memorable year thus far. Not only have the girls experiences new firsts like Arabella talking in full sentences at 15 months old, and Savannah getting ready for pre-school, but it also marks a personal milestone for me -- 5 years out of cancer treatment. Back in May, my oncologists finally said I was cancer free and in remission. With my rare form of cancer, they had to wait five years of having clean scans to say I was in remission. Five years is a long time coming, but as I look back on my cancer journey, one thing stands out...miracles do happen. Like the saying goes, "Everything happens for a reason." Maybe my cancer diagnosis was a wake up call to slow down and enjoy life more, instead of overworking myself. Maybe the Man upstairs needed someone in my family to go through cancer, and chose me because of my strength and determination. Who knows? But, what I do know is that when someone tells you that something isn't in your cards...don't give up. My doctors all told me that with the chemo and radiation treatments I would have to go through to battle my stage 2 cancer, that children would not be possible. I could have spent tens of thousands of dollars storing eggs for someone else care later on, which would not be possible financially. Also, because they weren't sure if the cancer spread, they had to start treatments right away, and there was no time for storing eggs, etc.
While I knew that my health and beating this cancer was my number one priority, I always thought about children, and hoped and prayed that the doctors were wrong. Come on, it took seven doctors and countless scans, test and then surgery to find my cancer...so, they could be wrong on this. After a year of ups and downs, hospitalizations, and tough treatments, I was finally able to return home from staying at my parents house during the entire treatment. It was so nice to be back in my own bed. As I slowly moved around the house days later, I stumbled across a box in the corner of the living room. I opened it to find a baby onesie. I sat there crying, remembering why this onesie was there in the first place. My husband had given it to me just days before I got the dreaded call telling me I had cancer. After 10 years of being together and me asking him countless times when he would be ready to start trying for a family, he finally was ready. This was his way of saying, let's make 2008 a great year. That night, we stayed up late talking about kids and how our lives would change for the better. We even started playing the baby name game. If we had a boy, we would call him Sebastian Alexander, and a girl would be Savannah Rose. Everything seemed perfect...until cancer turned my world and my family's upside down.
It took a full year out of treatment to finally start being normal again. At the end of 2008, I had the feeding tube in my stomach and port a cath in my shoulder area taken out. As I started to think about what was next -- look for a job (as I had to leave my past job to undergo daily treatments) or do something new. As I sat in our big empty house, I always found myself picking up this onesie. When my husband arrived home that night, we talked about trying in 6 months, and seeing what happened. We weren't expecting miracles, but two miracles are what we received...one in 2010 and another in 2011. Savannah Rose was born July 2010, and Arabella Sofia followed 15 months later. We were over the moon, and have been loving the journey of parenthood. I am now a stay-at-home mom, who gets to see her girls grow up. Everyday is a gift, and I don't take one minute for granted. And, when I can't be with my girls for a medical appointment or blogger work commitment, I always have the girls close to me, thanks to a custom right from Creation Source.

Q: C# How to only select strings based on a common set of characters? I have certain numbers placed in lines in a file, the only lines I am interested with are the lines that contain the set of characters "4 2 0" in this order example below:
.....
128 2 2 0 24 49 50 46
129 4 2 0 26 51 36 54 53
130 4 2 0 26 51 41 52 56
....
Here I would discard the line that starts by 128, and keep the two others. What is the best way to do this for the whole file(knowing that lines with such a set of characters are not necessarily at the same spot)? Thank you for your help...

A: The following should do the trick:
        string str = @"128 2 2 0 24 49 50 46

129 4 2 0 26 51 36 54 53

130 4 2 0 26 51 41 52 56";

        string[] strSplitted = str.Split(new string[] { "\r\n", "\n" }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
        List<string> result = strSplitted.ToList();

        foreach (var item in strSplitted)
        {
            if (!item.Contains("4 2 0"))
            {
                result.Remove(item);
            }
        }

The "result" variable will have the right results.

West Mersea Medical Practice shuts 'until further notice' after potential 'coronavirus' incident
It's the second Essex surgery to close due to a possible coronavirus case today
Elliot Hawkins
The surgery has been closed due to 'infection control'
An Essex doctors surgery has shut 'until further notice' due to a potential coronavirus scare.
West Mersea Medical Practice was closed to the public earlier today (Tuesday, February 25) due to "infection control" at the surgery.
It comes after Mount Chambers surgery in Braintree revealed in a note on their door this morning that they were closed due to a "possible case of coronavirus being investigated".
However, at 11am today, the practice reopened.
Mount Chambers Doctors Surgery in Braintree shut due to 'possible case of coronavirus'
The notice read: "The surgery will be closed until further notice due to infection control. Please telephone 111."
An email sent to parents of Mersea Island School pupils seen by EssexLive explains that the surgery has been closed as a "precautionary measure regarding the coronavirus" but also stated that nothing has yet been confirmed.
The email also reassured parents that there is no risk to the school.
There is "not any risk to the school" as a result of the closure
It added: "Please rest assured that if there were any changes we would notify you immediately."
There have been more than 6,500 tests for coronavirus across the UK so far, but only 13 have been confirmed as being positive.
Most of these cases have been treated and patients discharged from hospital.
There are yet to be any confirmed cases in Essex.
The Department for Health and Social Care have been approached for comment.
What are the signs of coronavirus?
The main symptoms of coronavirus are coughing, high temperature and shortness of breath.
It's not known exactly how the illness is spread between people, but there is official advise on how to protect yourself.
The NHS advises:
put used tissues in the bin immediately
wash your hands with soap and water often – use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available
try to avoid close contact with people who are unwell
do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands are not clean
