Meetings Between Azerbaijani & Armenian Officials Could Spell 'New Optimism' For An Old Conflict
By Mushvig Mehdiyev May 7, 2019
Amanda Paul delivers a speech at political dialogue on preventing radicalization in the EU co-organized jointly by the European Policy Center and the European Foundation for Democracy and the Counter Extremism Project, November 16, 2016 / Youtube
Security and stability in the South Caucasus region remain under threat due to one of the world's longest-running conflicts, namely that over the Nagorno-Karabakh region which is internationally recognized territory of Azerbaijan. Decades of international efforts to bring the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan to a close have all failed to achieve a breakthrough, but some remain hopeful that talks could eventually lead to progress.
Amanda Paul, a policy analyst at the European Policy Centre in Brussels, says that recent diplomatic efforts are a step in the right direction, but more than meetings are needed.
"Meetings between the foreign ministers and the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia are a positive step and serve as a basis for a 'new optimism' in the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict," Paul told Report.az on Monday. "This can be seen as a change in dynamics. However, progress still depends on the political will of both parties to transform the dialogue into concrete steps."
The foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan, Zohrab Mnatsakanyan and Elmar Mammadyarov, last met in Moscow on April 15, but no progress was made on key issues, such as the withdrawal of Armenian troops from the occupied region nor the return of internally displaced persons to their homes.
Paul believes that Armenia's leaders need to take bolder action towards a peaceful settlement of a conflict which began in the wake of the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991.
"The progress in the negotiation process also depends on whether the new Armenian leader Nikol Pashinyan intends to change his approach to the issue or will stand by the old position of Armenia. This is still unclear," Paul told Report.az.
In the late 1980s, when the USSR had all but collapsed, Armenian nationalists made territorial claims on Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh region, which had been partially populated with ethnic Armenians living alongside indigenous Azerbaijanis. After the Soviet Union ceased to exist, in 1991, the newly born Armenian state launched an all-out armed campaign against Azerbaijan to seize its Nagorno-Karabakh region.
As a result of the full-scale war, which lasted from 1991 until a ceasefire deal in 1994, 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory – the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts – were occupied by Armenia. The bloody war claimed the lives of over 30,000 Azerbaijanis and expelled one million more from their homeland.
In 1993, the United Nations Security Council had passed four legally binding resolutions demanding Armenia to pull its armed forces back from the occupied territories, but all four go unfulfilled to this day. The conflict remains a ticking bomb. In 2016, from April 1-5, the two countries went to war once again after Armenian forces deployed in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan started shelling Azerbaijani villages.
When Nikol Pashinyan came to power in Yerevan a year ago, some were hopeful that a new chapter would begin. But an antagonistic and deterrence-oriented policy soon took shape, and Pashinyan advocated for what has been a red line for Baku: including the self-styled illegal separatist regime in the occupied Nagorno-Karabakh region as a party to negotiations.
In response to Pashinyan's desire to change the current structure of negotiations, OSCE Chairman in Office Miroslav Lajčák from Slovakia said in his recent address in Baku that mediation by the OSCE Minsk Group is the only recognized format of talks.
"My visit to Baku is a message that OSCE chairman Slovakia strongly supports the settlement of this conflict. The OSCE Minsk Group is the only recognized format in the negotiations. And any changes should be coordinated," Lajčák said in a press conference in Baku on March 5, according to Trend.

Six people have been arrested after Prime Minister Imran Khan ordered the Punjab government to investigate the matter of two underage Hindu girls who their family claims were forcibly converted and married to Muslim men in Rahim Yar Khan.
The police, however, said that the women converted and got married of their own free will. The sisters were kidnapped from Sindh and have been identified as Raveena and Reena.
Their family, which belongs to Ghokti's Dharki, had registered an FIR over their kidnapping and forced marriage. The FIR identified the two girls to be 14 and 16 years.
No child under the age of 18 can be married under the Sindh Child Marriages Act, according to lawyer and social activist Jibran Nasir.
A video of their father protesting outside a police station has surfaced on social media. In the video, he refuses to move unless the police help him find his daughters.
The two young women, however, addressed a press conference recently in which a cleric said that they converted at Darga Barchundi Sharif of their own free will.
He said that their parents are engaging in "false propaganda". They should be given protection. "They are our sisters now. As Muslims, it is our right to protect them," he adds.
Copies of their nikkahnama have surfaced too. After conversion, Raveena was named Aasia Bibi and Reena was named Shahzia.
The young women have filed a petition seeking protection in a court in Bahawalpur. The court is expected to hear the case on March 25, Monday.
The premier wants Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar to investigate the case and, if he finds that they were indeed forcibly converted and kidnapped, to have them rescued.
The premier has also told the Punjab and Sindh governments to take steps to make sure this doesn't happen again. PM Khan said minorities make up the white in Pakistan's flag and are very important. We must safeguard them, he said.
Federal Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry announced this on Sunday morning via Twitter.
The Sindh chief minister's adviser on law and information, Murtaza Wahab, took to Twitter to say that it is because of Sindh's law banning underage marriages that the kidnappers took them to Punjab to contract the nikkah. The government of Sindh has sent a police team to Rahim Yar Khan and the team is there trying to arrest the culprits and recover the girls, he said, adding a few arrests and detentions have also taken place.

Noam Chomsky, Et, Author, Gilbert Achcar, Author, Stephan R. Shalom, Preface by . Paradigm $22.95 (276p) ISBN 978-1-59451-312-1
This intriguing series of conversations between like-minded peers about America in the Middle East pairs dissident intellectual Chomsky with Achcar, who is less well known for critiques of U.S. foreign policy (Clash of Barbarisms ). Drawing on deep historical background, they deconstruct Western assumptions about international politics: "Every state you can think of is based on violence, repression... the state system itself has no inherent legitimacy." While refreshingly careful to note when their conclusions aren't backed by rigorous documentation, both make broad assumptions about human behavior, while easily disregarding contradictions. For example they rely on opinion polls to indicate the desires of a given people (as opposed to the ruling elite), but reject the once-broad Palestinian support of the Oslo Peace Accords, for instance, because, as Chomsky says, the Palestinians "were just totally deluded." Similarly, they give little weight to nonrational influences—religiosity, fear—where these almost certainly played a key role in forming public opinion, such as in Arab disillusionment with secular nationalism or Israeli presumptions of anti-Semitism. Particularly in Chomsky's case, this can extend to an unfortunate contempt for those with whom he disagrees. Both men raise vital questions, but some readers may be alienated by the authors' often dismissive manner. (Nov.)

What does it takes to build a million fan following? Meet Claire Sulmers, Media Maven and Founder of Fashion Bomb Daily, one of the top 50 style blogs on the internet. Claire inspires us to own our self-worth knowing we deserve The Bomb Life we've always dreamed of!
I'm a fashion entrepreneur, Harvard graduate, Francophile, and an innovator. My goal is to change the fashion industry one blog post at a time.
A woman in control is a woman who knows her value and asserts herself when necessary. She is someone who is ok with saying, "No" and only does things she values and treasures.
What inspired you to chose your career and what continues to drive you?
I was inspired to start Fashion Bomb Daily because I yearned to see women of color in magazines and just wasn't finding the representations we deserved. So I decided to create the change I wished to see in the world.
When did you realize that you wanted to create your own fashion blog and follow your passion?
I've always loved to write and have always loved to shop. I discovered my love of and talent for writing during an internship at Upscale magazine. I attempted to pursue fashion in the traditional way for years, but when I was met with resistance, I decided to start a blog.
"The Bomb Life is about living life on your terms.
Going for your goals no matter what stands in your way."
How does the Bomb Life and being a Woman in Control go hand-in-hand?
The Bomb Life is about living life on your terms. Going for your goals no matter what stands in your way. Not accepting the life others see for you, but controlling your own life story and your own path.
What has helped you throughout the years to take control of your life and the challenges that come along doing what you love?
I think understanding your value is key. People will set their sights lower than yours or tell you what you can and can't do. I think it's always important to have confidence and also to know that you are worthy of receiving everything you want out of life.
Set goals, dream big, reach for the stars. Know yourself and know your worth.
They are easy, fun, versatile pieces that can be incorporated easily into any wardrobe.
CONNECT WITH US IF YOU ARE WOMAN IN CONTROL OR KNOW SOMEONE YOU WOULD LIKE US TO FEATURE!


As busy as we seem to get these days, it's easy enough to forget a "little thing" like remembering to check the fuel gauge on our heating oil tank. The only problem is running out of heating oil isn't a "little" problem.
Besides the inconvenience and dangers of being in a cold house on a freezing day, a heating oil runout can cause problems with clogged filters and fuel lines as sediment from the bottom of your heating oil tank makes its way through your heating system. With no heat, you could also end up with frozen pipes, which could cost you thousands of dollars in water damage.
The bottom line: no heat = no fun for you.
Consider installing an electronic tank gauge to monitor your heating oil level.
Don't panic! Take immediate steps to retain the heat you have in your house: close curtains, block under-door drafts, hang blankets over doorways, etc.
If you have other forms of heating such as fireplace, space heater, or electric heater, use them. NEVER use outdoor equipment (barbecues, outdoor stoves, etc.) indoors – carbon monoxide build up can be extremely dangerous or even deadly.
Contact Southville Petroleum for an emergency heating oil delivery at (631) 651-6316.
If you run out of heating oil this fall or winter, don't panic – contact Southville. Our experts will take care of any problems that arise and refill your tank to keep your family safe and warm in your Suffolk or Nassau County home.

So stay on your current meds regimen and use your time for a known effective treatment – Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy.
I began a series on the new antidepressant Viibryd (vilazodone) this past March. It hit pharmacy shelves several weeks ago and the response from chipur readers in this update article has been tremendous.
I've been encouraged by the comments. However, I'm troubled over the amount of time many of the participants have to spend on finding their therapeutic dose and enduring the side effects.
So I made it my business to search for some sort of therapeutic diversionary "time-filler." And I believe mindfulness based cognitive therapy may be just the ticket.
This past December I ran a piece entitled Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy: A Great Maintenance Antidepressant!. I cited a Canadian study that discovered MBCT was just as effective as a traditional antidepressant regimen in addressing depression relapse.
Furthermore, the study emphasized that those enduring depression with any degree of unstable remission need to stay involved with at least one long-term treatment program.
MBCT was designed to help those who experience repeated bouts of depression and chronic unhappiness. It brings together cognitive therapy and mindfulness. Simply, mindfulness is paying attention to one's circumstances, in-the-moment, in a non-judgmental manner.
At its foundation, MBCT is all about becoming acquainted with the modes of mind that so often characterize depression. And then it's a matter of learning how to develop a new relationship with them.
MBCT was developed by Zindel Segal, Mark Williams, and John Teasdale. Their work was based upon Jon Kabat-Zinn's Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program.
It helps you understand what depression really is.
It helps you discover what makes you vulnerable to downward mood spirals, and why you get stuck at the bottom of the spiral.
It helps you see the connection between downward spirals and – the high standards that oppress you or feelings that you're simply "not good enough," ways you put pressure on yourself or make yourself miserable with overwork, and ways you lose touch with what makes life worth living.
During a major depressive episode, negative mood presents with negative thinking – along with physical sensations such as sluggishness and fatigue.
Okay, so the episode passes and all seems to be stable. But during the episode some unhealthy and clingy connections have been made – particularly between the mood experience at the time and the negative thinking patterns.
Naturally, you have no answers; and you find yourself in the midst of a major depressive episode once again.
Should you choose to go forward with MBCT, the bulk of your work will be done at home using CDs with guided meditations. You'll attend eight weekly two-hour classes, and one full day session, to discuss your progress and solutions to problems encountered.
Dealing with Barriers, Mindfulness of the Breath, Staying Present, Allowing and Letting Be, Thoughts are Not Facts, How Can I Best Take Care of Myself, Using What's Been Learned to Deal with Future Moods.
Becoming familiar with the workings of your mind.
Noticing the times when you're at risk of getting caught in old habits of mind that re-activate downward mood spirals.
Exploring ways of releasing yourself from those old habits and, if you choose, enter a different way of being.
Being kind to yourself instead of wishing things were different all the time, or driving yourself to meet impossible goals.
Accepting yourself as you are, rather than judging yourself all the time.
If you're enduring depression, you're likely spending so much time on your meds regimen and its fallout. Why not use that time more productively by getting involved with a Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy program?
Don't know how to find one?
Head over to Psychology Today's website – here's the link. Look at the top right of the home page and you'll see the Find a Therapist box. Load in your zip code and hit enter. In the left column you'll see Treatment Orientation. Click on "more." You'll likely find Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. Click on it and you're on your way.

Everything You Should Know About the Disney+ Streaming Service
November 22, 2019 November 22, 2019 by Ice
Disney's new take on the online-media-streaming phenomenon has landed. Yes, the Disney+ streaming service is finally here! Similar to the likes of Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Apple TV+ and Netflix, Disney+ is Disney's new on-demand service. It offers up a huge library of both TV shows and movies.
Much like the competition, the service comes at a monthly fee. It allows users to stream any of this media from a range of compatible devices. The Disney+ streaming service launched on November 12th, 2019. Users had been eagerly awaiting it for years, wondering if it could possibly live up to the hype.
At the moment, Disney+ is only available in a few select counties. This includes the Netherlands, the U.S. and Canada. Over the next few months it'll be launching in more locations across the globe. Despite it not having nearly as much content as platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime, what Disney+ does have are the exclusive rights to allow streaming of many of Disney's hit films, from a couple of years to several decades ago.
And since Disney has purchased Star Wars and Marvel, it'll also be the home to many future projects being based out of these universes. In short, it has loads to offer that the competition won't be able to.
As you could expect, Disney+ is available for a range of different devices and interfaces.
It's currently available for:
iOS & Apple TV
Android & Android TV
Sony's PlayStation 4
Microsoft's Xbox One
Certain Amazon Fire TV devices
Samsung & LG Smart TVs
If you currently own any of the streaming devices that have the Apple TV App integrated into them, you'll be able to subscribe to Disney+ within that interface. And you can use that device to enjoy all of your content, quickly and efficiently.
This was the big question on everyone's lips prior to release. The answer hasn't given much surprise or disappointment. Disney+ is just $7 a month – or $70 for a year's subscription (saving you two months cost). For that, you get completely ad-free streaming of all the content that's available.
The only adverts you'll see are banner ads on the front page for 'Starz' the streaming service. There have been some complications with copyright between Disney and Starz, and this is supposedly the compromise the two struck together. But, contrary to popular belief, Disney+ isn't actually Disney's only streaming service. Disney owns Hulu as well! This means that you can get Disney+ as a Hulu addon.
Although this won't save you any money, it'll mean that you can watch all your Disney+ shows through Hulu. This will save you the complication of changing between apps for different shows. It just makes things a little more convenient than having Hulu and the Disney+ streaming service completely separate. As well as this, there's also a bulk deal for $13 per month, which includes Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+. Getting these in the bundle ends up being $5 cheaper than buying them separately. Not much of a saving, but a saving nonetheless!
Again, another question that's been on many people's minds. There's no doubt it won't offer as much range as other services, but how much of Disney's huge back catalog will be included in the streaming service?
Well, a lot. From old-time classics like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Dumbo and The Jungle Book, to more modern films like Noelle and The Lady and the Tramp (remake). It also includes nearly every Star Wars film and show, as well as old Marvel comic movies. What's not to love?! In terms of the recent Marvel superhero phenomenon – well, Disney+ has sixteen Marvel movies (yes, sixteen!) with more yet to come next year. This delay is due to licensing agreements with other streaming services.
For more information on this, feel free to check out some of the forums online which give a complete overview of Disney+'s library, and all the shows and movies you're guaranteed to be able to watch on the platform. After the copyright and licensing agreements expire, you can expect every piece of Disney, Star Wars and Marvel content to be available on the platform. There are a few exceptions, due to the nature of some of the old films. Some of them have racist-themed scenes and suggestions. But in short, if you're a Disney fan, it's unlikely that you'll be disappointed.
New Disney Shows
But Disney+ isn't just about bringing old movies and TV shows into the modern streaming world. It's also a platform for Disney to release new shows that aren't quite suitable for cinema. Shows like Star Wars' The Mandalorian, and Marvel's The Falcon and The Winter Soldier are made exclusively for Disney+ and will, therefore, be going straight to the platform.
Even films like the 1993 classic Hocus Pocus is said to be having a remake going straight to Disney+. But this is yet to be officially confirmed. Although films like Star Wars: Episode IX, and Frozen 2 will still hit cinemas, they're likely to be put on Disney+ exclusively for the remainder of their life. So, unless you buy the DVD, Disney+ streaming service is the only place you'll be able to access them.
The show that looks best in our eyes has to be the new show set in the Star Wars universe – the Mandalorian. Star Wars' first ever live-action series follows an intergalactic gunslinger as he roams across the galaxy on a series of adventures. Where the story will unfold is unknown to most, but the first season has already received great praise, and shows great promise for the show's future.
High-Quality Video and Audio
Disney+ boasts fantastic audio and video quality for the media it has available. Not only have many of the older films been remastered to really maximize the crisp visuals and smooth sound that modern technology can offer, but many of the shows are available in both Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. This allows users watch the best picture quality their devices are capable of.
Although these aren't exactly revolutionary in the streaming world – Netflix and Amazon Prime Video have had similar such features for a while now – this means that all your old favorites, such as the original Star Wars trilogy, Marvel's phase one films, as well as any of the old, Disney classics, can be shown in a quality never seen before. Some even up to 4K!
Not only this, but for those who are used to sharing accounts with family members or friends, Disney+'s basic membership for $7 a month allows up to four users to stream simultaneously. So, you'll definitely be covered.
How Big Can Disney+ Get?
There's no doubt that Disney+'s first few months would be its biggest in terms of growth. Avid Disney, Star Wars and Marvel fans have been waiting literally years for the service to come out. As of now, Disney+ has over 10 million subscribers.
Combined with subscribers of EPSN+ and Hulu, this would bring Disney's streaming base to well over 50 million. That's a lot of people! The big hope from most people is that, with such huge growth, Disney won't decide to make streaming more difficult or more expensive. But if Netflix and Amazon's success is anything to go by, they'll learn that if they treat their customers well, they're likely to stay for a long time.
Although it's clear that Disney+ is going to – if not immediately – host a huge library of content, both modern and of some age, there's still plenty of things that it unfortunately won't include. Due to some copyright disagreements, Netflix's live-action Marvel shows that are currently running will soon be brought to their end. They won't continue on Disney+.
This is something that plenty of fans are sure to be disappointed about. As well as this, because Disney has always been known as a family-friendly company prioritizing this type of content over any other, any R-rated content won't be being brought to Disney+ streaming service. All shows of this nature will be directed to Hulu instead.
It also goes without saying that any movies that are in cinemas won't be released on Disney+ at the same time. As usual, users will have to wait for these movies to leave theatres before being brought to the platform a few months later. This is to be expected, but is something that has surprised a few fans.
Have you tried out Disney+ streaming service? If so, what did you think? Drop a comment below to let us know your thoughts too!

Free Disney Plus on Firestick Made Possible by Verizon


Valmir Mota de Oliveira, also known as 'Keno,' was murdered by a private security company hired by Syngenta in 2007.
The Justice Court of Parana has convicted Swiss agrobusiness company Syngenta of the murder of Valmir Mota de Oliveira – also known as 'Keno,' a member of Via Campesino and the Landless Rural Workers' Movement (MST) – and ordered compensation be paid to the victim's family.
The court's decision ratified the 2015 sentence, in which a court found Syngenta responsible for Mota de Oliveira's murder and for the attempted murder of Isabel Nascimento de Souza, also a campesino, on Thursday.
Mota de Oliveria was shot dead on October 21, 2007, at the Free Land Camp in Santa Tereza do Oeste by a security group hired by Syngenta. He was 34 years old.
About 150 members of Via Campesina, a group of social organizations including MST, were occupying a Syngenta field laboratory in which they claimed the agrobusiness transnational was carrying out illegal experiments.
The private security group shot at the demonstrators, killing Keno. Nascimento de Souza narrates she was forced to bow down to be executed but lifted her head at the time the shot was fired, losing an eye as a result.
"The bosses are responsible for the acts of their employees," said Jose Augusto Anicero in reference to Syngenta and the private security firm. The court recognized their responsibility, but also blamed the MST and Via Campesino for occupying the land at their own risk, therefore reducing the required indemnization for the victims' families.
"Even though the invasion of private property is blameworthy and illegitimate, they shouldn't act on their own and impose the death penalty for their occupiers, but look for the legal means to solve the conflict," said Judge Pedro Ivo Montero.
Judge Wellington Emanuel Coimbra de Moura was alone in making the Swiss company the sole culprit, claiming the security guards knew about the occupation and didn't have good intentions when they decided to visit the encampment.
The lawyer who represented the activists, Fernando Prioste, said the ruling was a victory for social movements against a transnational agrobusiness giant at a time at which Brazil's President-Elect Jair Bolsonaro has threatened to arm landlords against social movements.
"The tribunal decided that… armed attacked by a militia is illegal. Those who act in a violent manner should be held accountable," Prioste declared.
Via Campesino has walked a long road in the legal fight for justice. In 2008, some of its members protested against the murder in front of the company's headquarters in Switzerland. The Swiss Ambassador in Brazil, Rudolf Barfuss, later apologized to the widow.
Syngenta has been accused several times of violating Brazilian law with their use of GMO crops. In 2006, Campesino organization Tierra de Derechos (Land of Rights) denounced the company for using transgenic soy in the buffer zone of Iguazu Park, a protected area in which GMO are prohibited. The Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Resources (IBAMA) ruled against the company and fined them about US$250,000.
The MST decided to occupy a small fraction of the 123 hectares on which Syngenta planted GMO. After Keno's murder, a court in Parana confirmed that the Swiss company had effectively violated the law.

Tyrin Turner (* 13. Juli 1971) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler. Er wurde bekannt durch die Darstellung des Caine "Kaydee" Lawson, der Hauptrolle in dem 1993 gedrehten Film Menace II Society.

Leben und Karriere
Tyrin Turner, der afroamerikanischer Herkunft ist, begann seine Karriere 1989 als 18-Jähriger mit einem Auftritt im Musikvideo zu Janet Jacksons Rhythm Nation und einer kleinen Nebenrolle im Film Judgement, der bereits das Thema der Jugendgangs aufgreift, das für Turners weitere Rollen maßgeblich blieb. 1992 spielte er in Deep Cover einen Drogendealer, ehe ihm 1993 in Menace II Society in der Rolle des Caine der große Durchbruch gelang. Die Darstellung des Jugendlichen aus dem Ghetto von Watts in Los Angeles, wo er zum Dealer wird, Autos klaut und an mehreren Morden beteiligt ist, galt den Kritikern als schockierend realistisch und brachte Turner eine Nominierung für den Independent Spirit Awards als bester Schauspieler ein.

Turner war in den 1990er Jahren in einer Reihe von Fernsehserien zu sehen, so in Echt super, Mr. Cooper, CBS Schoolbreak Special, Fallen Angels, Chicago Hope und New York Undercover. Als Filmschauspieler folgten eine Reihe kleinerer Rollen: In Panther, einem Film von Mario Van Peebles über die Geschichte der Black Panther, spielte er Cy, ein junges Mitglied der Black Panther, der Judge, einen schwarzen Vietnamveteranen und Hauptfigur des Films, in die Bewegung einführt, die sich immer weiter radikalisiert. Im Action-Film Soldier Boyz spielte er einen von 6 Strafgefangenen, die in einen Militäreinsatz nach Vietnam geschickt werden. In Belly stellt er erneut einen Drogendealer, Rico, dar. Auch in dem jüngsten Film, in dem er auftrat, A Day in the Life, geht es wieder um die Geschichte einer schwarzen Ghetto-Gang.

Außerdem spielte er die Rolle des "Walt" in der Sport-Dokumentation Michael Jordans Playground.

Als Hip-Hop-Musiker hatte Turner ab 1995 Gastauftritte bei Cypress Hill, den Geto Boys und Scarface.

Tyrin Turner ist mit Amina Garner verheiratet und hat zwei Kinder, Shamya und Raheem.

Increase In Prison Guard Assault
10/19/20 Sergio Hyland
Download "Increase In Prison Guard Assault"
What's up everybody, it's Uptown Serg. I need you to listen to me on this.
On August 26, 2020, at approximately 7:55 AM, a guard illegally deployed a pepper spray, assaulting a prisoner simply because that prisoner didn't hang up the phone when she ordered him to.
While there's been much speculation about this incident throughout the institution, I witnessed it first hand and in fact, I was the only person to help this prisoner wash the chemicals out of his eyes while he gasped for air, pleading that he couldn't breathe. These assaults are becoming more commonplace throughout the state of Pennsylvania, as an influx of new guards are being trained to use force first and ask questions second.
Since Pennsylvania prisons have gone into an enhanced lockdown. Staff has been using this opportunity to control the population through tactics of fear, intimidation, and violence. When this prisoner was pepper sprayed, he didn't present a threat. In fact, he remained seated in his chair throughout the entire ordeal.
He even pleaded with the guard that he was on the phone with his mother. But in typical fashion of the oppressor, this guard pepper sprayed that prisoner—while a dozen other guards ran on to the unit and handcuffed him. After I helped wash his eyes out with water, the guards hauled him off the solitary confinement, where he remains as I speak.
Whenever the cameras are rolling, Secretary of Corrections John Wessel puts on a convincing act as if he's taking corrections in a new direction. The reality is that these prisoners are on the brink of an explosion, stoked by the aggression and violence of poorly trained prison guards. And these guards are allowed to act with impunity as they terrorize the population.
Other staff see what's going on, but refuse to threaten their job security by blowing the whistle. Anybody listening to this, I hope you understand that we need your help on the inside. If you don't get involved, many of us will die behind these walls. People will claim that I'm lying. But all you need to do is ask for the footage of these incidents to be released. And everything will be cleared up then.
Thank you for listening. You can follow me on Instagram @uptownserg.

Q: How can I completely reverse all changes by npm in Ubuntu The Question is similar to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11177954/how-do-i-completely-uninstall-node-js-and-reinstall-from-beginning-mac-os-x but for Ubuntu, and mainly concerns the cleanup part.
Installation was done as usual by: sudo apt-get install node, however I later used the npm command to install multiple packages as more than one users.
How do I completely remove npm along with all libraries, packages and any other files installed by npm on my system by e.g. npm install -g @vue/cli? I would probably have to uninstall from apt, but the main question has to do with all the changes npm did.
Notes:

*

*I am on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS npm version 7.5.6 if that matters

*As there seems to be some fights about people uninstalling npm going on currently, please do not downvote just because I want to uninstall, I plan to reinstall :)

Edit-Reminder to future self and others:
For reinstalling without sudo , a link with recipes can be found here. It is still unclear to me what's best but https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10081293/install-npm-into-home-directory-with-distribution-nodejs-package-ubuntu on the other hand there is README.md#debinstall so possibly use apt to install node, then use prefix...

A: This will be messy ...
The simplest solution that I have found to this problem when trying to "fix" a broken development server that couldn't be formatted and rebuilt from scratch due to "management" is this:

*

*remove the globally installed packages

*delete the locally installed packages from the various /home directories and /root

*remove Node

Here's the basic process:

*Open Terminal (if it's not already open) or SSH into the machine (if you don't have physical access)

*List all globally installed packages:
npm list -g --depth 0

*Uninstall the global packages one by one with:
sudo npm uninstall -g <package-name>

If you'd like to also do this for locally installed packages from your account, you can do this:
npm list
npm uninstall -S <package-name>

The -S flag will also remove the reference in your package.json file

*Remove the following directories:⇢ /etc/npmrc⇢ /home/youruser/.npmrc⇢ /root/.npmrc⇢ ./.npmrc in any project directory next to package.json (search by using locate .npmrc)

*Remove the Node package:
sudo apt remove nodejs --purge
sudo apt remove npm --purge

*Finally, remove the straggling files and directories:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/npm \
            /usr/local/share/man/man1/node* \
            /usr/local/lib/dtrace/node.d \
            ~/.npm \
            ~/.node-gyp \
            /opt/local/bin/node \
            /opt/local/include/node \
            /opt/local/lib/node_modules

... and the modules:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node*

... and the include modules:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/include/node*

... and the files in the local /bin:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/node*

*Enjoy a 15-minute break, because you're done

At this point, you can reinstall Node and its package manager if you wish to start over with a clean slate.

A: The command I use to remove all packages from npm is..
npm ls -gp --depth=0 | awk -F/ '/node_modules/ && !/\/npm$/ {print $NF}' | xargs npm -g rm

Failing that (and sometimes npm can get very clingy)..
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/node_modules
rm -rf ~/.npm*

Beetroots, Carrots & Cucumbers – I prefer having beetroot juice but when I'm lazy to get a juice, I love having them raw. They're too good for health and they subside hunger well. Actually, these three make a great team when had together as they are super filling and healthy. I usually eat them at night when I'm off rice and roti. They along with soup fill my stomach as if I had eaten a normal meal.
Brown Rice – This comes in the Grains category. Brown rice is an intelligent substitute to white rice as it is healthy and filling. It will also not affect your diet and will do well for you.
Chicken, Fish & Eggs – Protein is an essential part for the thyroid to function well. A chicken breast can be filling, less in calories and packed with nutrients. The thyroid needs Iodine to function properly. Eggs (along with Fish and Mushrooms, etc.) are packed with all the nutrients you need. Although, I would advise you to go opt for an egg white omelet instead of one with yolks. But if you like eating a whole egg, I'd advise you to go for the ratio 2:1 or 3:1 where 1 is the yolk. This is one protein that is low in fat and high on nutrients. Fish is packed with Omega 3s which are essential for anybody's weight loss journey. Our body and thyroid react positively to all the hard work when these nutrients are provided to them.
Dates – These should be consumed in really low quantities (5 in a day, max!) as they are still full of sugar so you don't want to overdose on them. Consume 1-2 of them at a time and you will feel full for 20 minutes at least. Whenever you feel giddy or dizzy, they should be the ones you go for as you will immediately feel better.
Mushrooms & Tomatoes – Mushrooms also contain good mounts of Iodine that are needed for a good performance of the thyroid. Tomatoes, too, are packed with nutrients and because they contain good amounts of water, they can be eaten raw when you're hungry and still will subside hunger better than any other snack. You can pair mushrooms and tomatoes together, be it in an omelet or a vegetable sandwich. These two taste really good when combined in a meal.
Hope you found my review helpful 🙂 Thank You for reading!
Wow no soya and paneer either. Wonder how vegetarians suffering from hypothyroidism will get their protein fix. Hopefully lentils, chickpeas and beans aren't disallowed too!


A couple of months ago some really great friends of mine from the good ol' college days participated in kickstarter to raise needed funds for a music video. Their kickstarter project was a total success! I am so excited to see their video (which hasn't yet been released). Laura and John are an incredibly fun couple. Laura lived next door to me my last year at school and we instantly became friends. She was my stylist for ever (till they decided to move). John is a talented musician and artist.
Anyway, if you're familiar with how kickstarter works then you know that there are all kinds of fun perks for helping people out with their pledge goals. If you're new to kickstarter- check it out! It's a really cool way to raise needed money for all sorts of fun projects.
When I donated to John and Laura's cause, the awesome perk that I was most excited about was receiving one of John's custom paintings. He gave us a painting of a baby on a bed of angels wings. PRECIOUS. Thank you John!! :) It hangs in our living room and brings a smile to my face every time I see it.
oh it looks so good! so happy you love it.
here's to a fabulous EASTER weekend!
pay it forward- time to pass it on!
