Sucker For Love Mysteries | Book 1
A Sucker For Love Mystery
Nothing brings two men—or one man and an ancient god—together like revenge.
Private investigator Sloane sacrificed his career in law enforcement in pursuit of his parents' murderer. Like them, he is a follower of long-forgotten gods, practicing their magic and offering them his prayers… not that he's ever gotten a response.
Azaethoth the Lesser might be the patron of thieves and tricksters, but he takes care of his followers. He's come to earth to avenge the killing of one of his favorites, and maybe charm the pants off the cute detective Fate has placed in his path. If he has his way, they'll do much more than bring a killer to justice. In fact, he's sure he's found the man he'll spend his immortal life with.
Sloane's resolve is crumbling under Azaethoth's surprising sweetness, and the tentacles he sometimes glimpses escaping the god's mortal form set his imagination alight. But their investigation gets stranger and deadlier with every turn. To survive, they'll need a little faith… and a lot of mystical firepower.
Kraken My Heart
It's just Ted's luck that he meets the love of his life while covered in the blood of a murder victim.
Funeral worker Ted Sturm has a foul mouth, a big heart, and a knack for communicating with the dead. Unfortunately the dead don't make very good friends, and Ted's only living pal, his roommate, just rescued a strange cat who's determined to make his life even more miserable. This cat is more than he seems, and soon Ted finds himself in an alternate dimension… and on top of a dead body.
When Ted is accused of murder, his only ally in a strange world full of powerful magical beings calling for his head is King Grell, a sarcastic, randy, catlike immortal with impressive abilities… and anatomy. The two soon find themselves at the center of a cosmic conspiracy and surrounded by dangerous enemies. But with Ted's special skills and Grell's magic, they have a chance to get to the bottom of the mystery and save Ted. There's just one problem: Ted's got to resist Grell's aggressive advances… and he isn't sure he wants to.
Head Over Tentacles
Private investigator Sloane Beaumont should be enjoying his recent engagement to eldritch god Azaethoth the Lesser, AKA Loch. Unfortunately, he doesn't have time for a pre-honeymoon period.
The trouble starts with a deceptively simple missing persons case. That leads to the discovery of mass kidnappings, nefarious secret experiments, and the revelation that another ancient god is trying to bring about the end of the world by twisting humans into an evil army.
Just another day at the office.
Sloane does his best to juggle wedding planning, stopping his fiancé from turning the mailman inside out, and meeting his future godly in-laws while working the case, but they're also being hunted by a strange young man with incredible abilities. With the wedding date looming closer, Sloane and Loch must combine their powers to discover the truth—because it's not just their own happy-ever-after at stake, but the fate of the world….
Nautilus Than Perfect
Detective Elwood Q. Chase has ninety-nine problems, and the unexpected revelation that his partner is a god is only one of them.
Chase has been in love with Benjamin Merrick for years and has resigned himself to a life of unrequited pining. But when they run afoul of a strange cult, Merrick's secret identity as Gordoth the Untouched slips out… and so do Chase's feelings. The timing can't be helped, but now Merrick thinks Chase only cares about him because he's a god.
Even more unfortunately, it turns out the cultists want to perform a ritual to end the world. Chase's mission to convince Merrick his feelings predate any divine revelations takes a back seat to a case tangled with murder and lies, but Chase doesn't give up. Once he finds out there's a chance Merrick feels the same way, he digs in his heels. Suddenly he's trying to court a god and save the world at the same time. What could possibly go wrong?
Just Calamarried
Newlyweds Sloane and Loch are eagerly expecting their first child, though for Sloane that excitement is tempered by pregnancy side effects. Carrying a god's baby would be enough to deal with, especially with the whole accelerated gestation thing, but it's not like Sloane can take maternity leave. He works for himself as a private investigator. Which leads him to his next case.
At least this strange new mystery distracts him from the stress of constant puking.
When two priests are murdered within hours of each other, a woman named Daphne hires Sloane and Loch to track down the prime suspect—her brother—before the police do. Between untangling a conspiracy of lies and greed, going toe-to-toe with a gangster, and stealing a cat, they hardly have time to decorate a nursery….
Our Shellfish Desires
People talk about the marriage of true minds, but Alexander doesn't think this is what they meant.
After a cruel experiment binds him to the soul of Rota, an old god, Alexander has one mission: find Rota's body. Having a godly boyfriend is great, but it would be better to have one that he could actually touch. Unfortunately, even Alexander's ability to command Rota's divine power hasn't helped.
A rare book of poetry may finally provide the answer. The expertise they need translating it brings them to Oleander Logue, a young man with plenty of problems that seem at odds with his cheerful nature. Ollie is happy to help, but he's in trouble with a gangster who demands that Alexander and Rota solve a series of murders first.
Desperate, Alexander and Rota accept the case… but it's not that simple. The gangster's threats to Ollie's safety disturb them both, but is that because they're both growing more attracted to Ollie… or because he's a potential host for Rota? If they can't solve these murders, they may never find out.
Insquidious Devotion
Between raising a tiny demigoddess and their private investigation business, Sloane Beaumont and his husband, Loch, have their hands and tentacles full. Unfortunately, they still have to save the world—again.
Sloane and Loch are on their way to a mysterious crime scene when an old god named Cleus attacks. It's the latest in a long list of potentially apocalyptic crises, and that's not a coincidence. While some people just want to watch the world burn, local cultists are determined to strike the match. If their plan to awaken an evil god succeeds, they'll get their wish.
With victims magically drowning left and right and the revelation that the old gods are real leading the public into mass panic, Sloane and Loch must gather their friends and family—and a shady local gangster—to solve the mystery and defeat new dangers. But the biggest threat may be one they never saw coming….

A couple of years ago on fourth of July, I remember sitting in my room just scrolling down my facebook timeline checking out every one else's life. You know how that goes. lol As I was browsing through, I saw some pictures posted from my son's uncle. They had visited Florida to go see my son's dad and it was the WHOLE family. Everyone but my son of course.
Talk about hurt and rejection!
No one considered talking to me about my son possibly going along with them. I mean he does only get to see his dad once a year, MAYBE twice if we get lucky.
I started crying and yelling at my phone (you know because they could totally hear me lol smh). I just didn't understand why MY son was the rejected one! I had made the decision to walk in forgiveness for a couple of years now and not be this horrible "baby mama" that most people would stereotype single moms as. I was going to be different, and show him Christ's love even though I FELT he didn't deserve an ounce of it.
So why God? Why my son? Why do we have to be the rejected ones, the ones treated the worst as if we never really existed?
AND THEN (here's the kicker) I felt God nudging me to just let it go.
WHAT?? God, You have got to be kidding me? Let it go? Turn the other cheek? FORGIVE HIM????? No God! I'm sorry, but I just can't do it this time! He doesn't deserve it and I'm not giving it to him! I AM NOT TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK! I'm just going to end his relationship with his son, and never speak to him again. It's not like he would care anyways. That's what he wants! No responsibility. Cam and I to just disappear. God, what about Cam and I and how WE FEEL? We just have to take it and move on? Where is the fairness in all of this?
21 For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered[a] for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps.
I just cried. I forgave him, and God held me as I did. It's a moment I will probably never forget.
Being a follower of Christ means turning the other cheek as He did even if it means suffering for it. Christ was MAJORLY rejected! By His own people! But he kept walking, and fulfilled God's plan of reconciliation for us. He suffered for us, why can't we suffer for Him?
Turning the other cheek doesn't make you weak, and it doesn't mean that person is going to get away with murder either.
It's about submitting yourself to God, putting your situation in God's hand who ALWAYS judges fairly, and letting Him be in control. This is definitely easier said than done I know, but the beauty about being in Christ, is that we are blessed with the power to do God's will. So we have the strength to forgive whether we feel they deserve it or not, and to let it go. We just have to CHOOSE to walk in that blessing.
Something you will probably alway hear, but I will say it anyways.
Forgiveness is not for the other person, it's for your own freedom.
I could've sat there mad, growing bitter, and hating him while he is over there enjoying his life with his family on the Florida beaches. Now I'm walking around being negative nancy to everyone who walks in my path, yelling at my child for no reason, and for what? Does his dad even know that I'm angry? Well he could know about it. I could've called him acting a fool and yelling and calling him every name out the book, but what would that have solved? Would it change anything? It probably would've just made things worse.
I had to hand it over to God. I had to let go of control, knowing that there was nothing that I could do to change his dad. God had to work on him, if that's what He chose to do.
As I came across this scripture this morning in my study time, "By his wounds you are healed" really stood out to me! Yes, we may have to suffer for letting things go and leaving it in God's hand. God knows that the things people do and say can leave wounds, and hurt you deeply. He knows and He understands, and that is why He SENT JESUS CHRIST! Our healing doesn't depend on whether we ever get an apology or whether we get revenge on that person, our healing came from Jesus shedding His blood on the cross! All of the damage done by any offense that has happened in your life is healed through Christ. HOW AWESOME!!!
God won't let us suffer and leave us wounded.
Quick testimony on this situation and how God restores. I took Cam to see his dad for Christmas eve this year to spend some time with that side of his family for Christmas. When I tell you that I left with my heart so full of joy!!! It's kind of weird, but we all interacted as one big family. You could tell that the past was all forgiven and put behind us, and we were only going to grow closer from there. I felt so much peace being there, and God reassured me that He had been working in our lives the whole time. All I had to do was trust that all things were working for our good because we loved Him and we're called according to His purpose. I had to trust that He knows the plans that He has for our lives. Plans to prosper us and give us a hope and a future.
I just had to TRUST HIM because He is my God and He cares for me!
God is working in your life as we speak! There will be days when it doesn't seem like that is true, but He is! Whoever has hurt you, as bad as it was, I want you to forgive them and let it go! Even if you have to tell yourself a million times in one day, "I forgive him. I forgive him. God I give this to You. I hand this over to You." Every time you say it, healing is taking place. Before you know it, those situations you had to keep forgiving don't even bother you anymore.
This has been on my heart for some time to share. God is so amazing and loves us so much! I just pray that first, if you don't know Christ and really want to experience His healing, that you open your heart to Him and accept Him as your Lord. It is through Christ living within us that makes all of this possible! Second, I pray that every situation that you're caught in where you have to walk in forgiveness, I pray for God's strength to manifest through you to let it go and give it to Him! It's not easy, but walking in freedom makes it worth it!

'World's Oldest Man' Is 114 Years Old, Smokes Every Day
By Dana Dovey On 5/29/18 at 12:24 PM EDT
Tech & Science Smoking Tobacco
In early May, Fredie Blom's celebrated his 114th birthday, a feat that may make him the world's oldest living man — although official verification is still needed. In a recent interview with the BBC, Blom shared no particular secrets to his longevity and instead confessed to still be a lifetime daily smoker.
The previous oldest living individual was Violet Moss-Brown, and the Jamaican held the title until September 2017 when she passed away at 117 years old, the BBC reported. However, since Moss-Brown's passing, the Guinness World of Records has yet to verify who now holds the title, but Blom is believed to be qualify as the world's oldest living man.
Blom was born on May 8, 1904 in Adelaide, South Africa, a rural town in the Eastern Cape province. The centenarian has no special words of advice or explanation for his old age, and although he no longer drinks alcohol, Blom continues to smoke tobacco.

Fredie Blom is still a regular smoker. An unidentified man takes a drag from a cigarette. Yasser Al-Zayyat/AFP/Getty Images
"Every day I still smoke two to three 'pills',"—local slang for tobacco tightly rolled into a cigarette-length piece of newspaper—Blom told the BBC in Afrikaans. "I use my own tobacco because I don't smoke cigarettes."
Blom is what is known as a supercentenarian, a word used to describe someone who has lived past their 110th birthday. This feat is incredibly rare and according to U.S. Health, there are only about 300 worldwide at any given moment. In addition to being rare, supercentenarians also have another trait in common—no particular explanation for their extreme age. Few supercentenarians admit to living extremely healthy lives. In fact many are similar to Blom in their confessions to drinking and smoking. Rather, experts believe the secret to extreme age is mostly genetic. For this reason, the odd elderly person who is able to smoke well into old age with little to no health consequences does not stand as proof that smoking is good for your health. In fact, a 2015 study suggested a very rare genetic mutation may protect some smokers from never getting sick, although not give completely immunity, The Independent reported. However, the majority of the population does not have this natural protection.

Blom's wife of 48 years, Janetta, told the BBC that her husband's diet is not particularly noteworthy, and consists of both meat and vegetables with nearly every meal. Rather, Blom explained that his old age is owed to his religious faith.
"There's only one thing—it's the man above [God]. He's got all the power," said Blom. "I have nothing. I can drop over any time but He holds me."
Born into pre-Apartheid South Africa, Blom, is a true reminder of a time few can remember. He is black African and was not able to attend school as a child. As a result he is illiterate and spent the majority of his life as a farm worker
Although he may still have to wait some time before Guinness World of Records officially bestows Blom with the title of the oldest living man, his town already considers Blom to be a local celebrity and celebrated his most recent birthday with numerous cakes.

NYLPI has filed a declaration in a Federal Court class action lawsuit challenging months-long ICE detention before first court appearance.
The case centers on challenging months long ICE detention before an individual is able to be seen by an immigration judge, leadings to longer times in immigration detention.
NYLPI's declaration, based on our work addressing access to healthcare in immigration detention for the last three years, supports the argument that immigration detention is bad for one's health and causes great harm, and even death. Here are press releases on the lawsuit by our allies at the Bronx Defenders and NYCLU.
NYLPI's medical providers' network helps people in immigration detention by connecting them with a volunteer network of doctors like Dr. Joseph Shin, whom NYLPI recently honored at our Felix A. Fishman Awards lunch. You can find out more about it, and read our report, Detained and Denied: Healthcare Access in Immigration Detention, here.
NYLPI outlined the deplorable conditions in immigration detention seen through our work in the declaration, written by NYLPI's Director of Health Justice, Laura F. Redman, in support of a Plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction filed by Bronx Defenders, The New York Civil Liberties Union, and the Cardozo Immigrant Rights Clinic.

Q: Is it normal for MacBook Pro CD/DVD drive to makes noise on wake after long sleep Every time I put my MacBook Pro (13in, mid-2012) to sleep and shut the lid, then wait at least 20 mins then open the lid and wake it up, my CD/DVD drive makes an odd sound as if it thinks there's a disk in there to read but then realizes there isn't and stops the sound.
Many of my friends own MacBook Pros and none of their CD/DVD drives do this on wake after a long sleep. I should probably also mention that this sound only started happening about 6 months after I bought it, it's now 1.5 years old.
So, is it normal for my MacBook Pro to make a sound on wake after a long sleep?

A: Yes.
After all, OS X wants to allow you to access what's on the disc currently inside the drive. When you eject a disc, the system reacts by no longer showing the disc on the desktop or in Finder. When you insert a disc, the system reacts by showing the disc on the desktop and in Finder.
When the system is asleep, it's no longer keeping track of whether a disc has been ejected, inserted, or replaced with a different disc. It has to check what's in the drive when it wakes up in order to react properly to what's there.

A: Yes, but I've seen different sounds and behaviors across different Superdrive manufacturers. Since Apple only buys the drives from other hardware producers, like Mashita, they are basically commodity hardware, and not all of them are as exquisitly designed as the rest of the MacBooks ;) but don't worry, in a few years you probably won't have a Mac with any spinning disk in it anymore!

A: Yes.  I've never figured this out, but some older models with disc drives would definitely make a noise when waking.  Even if there was nothing in the drive.  (My mac mini 2009 does this too)

New Internet Provider in the PH, XNET offers GREAT DEALS on Upload and Download Speeds!
Affordable Internet with good Download AND Upload? Sign me up!
So this was a treat. I saw this little flyer being distributed and, wow, did it catch my eye. It seems like a new Internet Provider named XNET is here and is offering some AMAZING INTERNET PACKAGES!
Yes, no lock-ins. You just have to pay an initial equipment fee.
SYMMETRICAL UPLOAD AND DOWNLOAD – This was the BEST part of the whole thing. This means that whatever your download speed is, that too will be your upload speed! So if your plan is 4 mbps, then that means you'll have 4mbps download and 4mbps upload which is AMAZING for content creators, virtual assistants, etc.
It seems that XNET is still in their initial trial stages before they offer their services to a wider range of areas. At this point, their only trial residence is GA Tower (along EDSA near Boni MRT) so if you live there, consider yourself lucky (hopefully) to get to test out the service for yourself. The current payment methods are also only via Paypal and Paymaya.
Hopefully, this all goes well and the service becomes more developed (and actually launches to other parts of Metro Manila. But all the same, it's nice to see that services like this are popping up. It gives us a good hope for the future of gaming, eSports, content creation, etc. in the PH!

Thurdinska gården är en bevarad norrländsk gård uppförd 1823 (med tillbyggnad 1846-48) i Bobacken, Bygdeå socken, Robertsfors kommun, Västerbotten.

Historia
Skutskeppare och kronolänsman Johan Fredric "J.F." Thurdin (1789–1840) köpte fastigheten "Bobacken nr. 5" (5/32 mantal) av Erik Eriksson 1823 och uppförde en gård i tidstypisk stil med mangårdsbyggnad, ekonomibyggnader (bagarstuga, magasin med mera) i vinkel, samt rundloge.

J.F. och hans maka Anna Margareta Carlsdotter från Holmön (1789–1866) hade 12 barn och ett stort antal barnbarn och fosterbarn vilka i perioder bodde på gården. Fyra av J.F.'s och Annas barn dog till sjöss; däribland Carl Johan "C.J." Thurdin (1812-56), kapten på ångskonerten Umeå , som förliste utanför Gnarp i november 1856 och skördade 19 dödsoffer. Många av Thurdinarna verkade i det Häggströmska Handelshusets tjänst, baserat på Dalkarlså Herrgård, strax öster om Bobacken.

1839 övertogs Thurdinska gården av äldste sonen Coopvardie Capitain Carl Johan Thurdin som även förvärvade intilliggande Bobacken nr. 4. C.J. Thurdin byggde till en våning på mangårdsbyggnaden, installerade kakelugnar från Stockholmsfirman Hoffman & Björkman (1846-48), franska tapeter m.m.

Byggnaden
Thurdinska gårdens arkitektur är tidstypisk samtidigt som gården har ett antal särpräglande egenheter och detaljer. Sedan 2006 ägs Thurdinska gården (nuvarande fastighetsbeteckning Bobacken 7:3) av Historiska Hus AB som bedriver ett långsiktigt renoverings-, konserverings- och utvecklingsarbete av den kulturhistoriska miljön. Utbildningar hålls regelbundet på gården som även är öppen för besökare.

The Glamorous Life is een nummer van de Amerikaanse zangeres Sheila E. uit 1984. Het is de eerste single van haar gelijknamige debuutalbum.

Het nummer is geschreven en gecomponeerd door Prince, die ook op de plaat te horen is als achtergrondzanger. De ik-figuur in het nummer kijkt met een cynische blik naar het "glamoureuze leven" in de showbizz, hoewel ze zich ook realiseert dat dat "zonder liefde niet veel" is. "The Glamorous Life" leverde Sheila E. een grote hit op in Noord-Amerika en het Nederlandse taalgebied. In de Amerikaanse Billboard Hot 100 bereikte het nummer de 7e positie, in de Nederlandse Top 40 de 2e en in de Vlaamse Radio 2 Top 30 de 5e. Buiten Nederland en Vlaanderen werd het nummer elders in Europa geen hit.

Phil Collins heeft gezegd dat dit nummer van invloed was op de single Invisible Touch van Genesis.

Check the syllabus on our website for a complete list of our Faculty.
Undergraduate students in any field.
Bachelor's degree graduates may also apply.
A good command of English language (minimum B2 level recommended) is a general requirement for all applicants.
A) Introduction
Climate change is the main global environmental problem and one of the main economic and social problems facing humanity. And citizens increasingly perceive it as such. For example, the latest Eurobarometer survey, published in 2021 by the European Commission, shows that 93% of EU citizens believe that climate change is a serious problem, and 78% that it is a very serious problem. Moreover, compared to the previous Eurobarometer, published in 2019, climate change has overtaken poverty, hunger, and lack of clean water as the most serious problem facing the world.
On the other hand, climate change is a multidimensional problem that must be studied from all disciplines of knowledge. However, our curricula do not usually offer a multi- or interdisciplinary understanding of the problem. Furthermore, although the population perceives it as a very serious problem, there is a notable lack of knowledge about its nature, effects, possible scenarios, policies, and responses to the challenge it poses for humanity.
B) Objectives
The main objective of this course is to alleviate the shortcomings of our curricula and the lack of knowledge of a large part of the population mentioned in the introduction. To this end, the course offers a multidisciplinary and rigorous vision of the problem of climate change. Experts in each subject offer this comprehensive, university-level vision. Although academically rigorous, their classes are adapted to the necessary introductory level. This is necessary given the heterogeneous profile that students will have.
In addition to the primary objective, the course has a secondary objective. The complementary objective is to provide an enriching study abroad experience. Studying abroad provides students with extraordinary benefits in terms of academic, cultural, and personal enrichment.

China's Government Policy Ramps Up to Accelerate Adoption of Green Hydrogen
China is increasing its policy focus on green hydrogen to support the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate industrial sectors.
by: Marina Petroleka
Sponsored by Sustainable Fitch
Fitch expects hydrogen to be increasingly used as an energy source as part of wider efforts to meet China's net-zero climate targets. China is the world's largest hydrogen producer, with an estimated production of 22 million tonnes in 2019. While hydrogen is mainly used as a feedstock in industrial processes, efforts to decarbonise, driven by the government's net-zero emission pledge and climate strategy, are spurring interest in the use of hydrogen for energy.
Hydrogen is a potential route to cut carbon emissions for hard-to-abate sectors, such as heavy transport and industrials, where direct renewable energy use or electrification is not technologically feasible. Hydrogen can also act as a store of energy for use in transportation and heating and a means to capture excess energy from more volatile energy sources, such as wind and solar. Hydrogen fuel cells have a competitive advantage over batteries when greater energy density is needed, for instance, for heavy-duty commercial vehicles. Tightening fuel standards, including the recent China6/VI to limit emissions from diesel and gasoline vehicles, could drive demand for fuel cells in transport sectors.
However, as hydrogen is predominately produced with fossil fuels, the government is driving investment in carbon capture and storage (CCS) to produce 'blue' hydrogen and the use of renewable energy to produce 'green' hydrogen. Hydrogen produced with fossil fuels without using CCS is known as 'grey' hydrogen. Green hydrogen only contributes 3% of China's total hydrogen supply, as production costs are considerably higher than for other methods.
We expect pressure to decarbonise to drive a shift to blue and green hydrogen over time, but the pace of transition will depend on cost dynamics and the progress of technology. Blue hydrogen, on average, can be produced at a lower cost than green hydrogen, but the ability to use CCS depends on cost dynamics and the viability of expanding technology on a large scale. The falling price and greater availability of renewable energy, along with cheaper and more efficient electrolysers, could help green hydrogen reach cost parity with grey hydrogen by 2030 globally.
China's policy environment has been supportive for hydrogen at the central and local government levels, particularly in the transport sector, which receives extensive subsidies and tax benefits to develop fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEV). China has become the world's largest FCEV producer, with total production reaching 7,200 by June 2020.
In 2015, the central government published the Made in China 2025 initiative, a 10-year plan to upgrade the country's manufacturing industry. The use of hydrogen was identified as a key technology to upscale the new-energy vehicle market. In 2018, the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle Technology Roadmap was released, listing specific targets for the broader application of hydrogen in the transport sector by 2030. For the first time, the 2019 State Council's Government Work Report incorporated a national mandate to 'promote the construction and charging of hydrogen refueling facilities', indicating an increased focus on the development of hydrogen infrastructure. Various ministries have also introduced subsidies to support storage, transportation, refueling services, hydrogen production and the application of fuel cells in vehicles.
We expect further policy announcements in subsequent months, including a national hydrogen development strategy as part of China's 14th Five-Year Plan. Policy is likely to expand beyond fuel cells in the transportation sector to the development of transport and storage infrastructure. We believe support for investment in CCS and electrolysis technology will also form a part of policy plans.
Local governments have followed the supportive policy direction set by the central government, with 23 provinces and municipalities listing hydrogen as a key economic priority or developing hydrogen development plans as of April 2021.
We expect the increased adoption of hydrogen technology and usage across a range of sectors to require additional capital expenditure. Adoption of hydrogen as an energy source is most advanced in the transportation sector. FCEVs are included in the central government's New Energy Vehicle Plan (2021-2035) and qualify for credits under the new energy vehicle dual credit system. The plan aims for the broader commercial use of FCEVs by 2035.
Fitch thinks it will take time for FCEVs to reach the same cost-competitiveness as battery electric vehicles for passengers, but fiscal support and subsidies should boost expansion. Five ministries jointly launched a four-year pilot programme in 2020, which focused on the research, development and application of fuel-cell vehicles and aimed to maintain fiscal subsidies for fuel-cell vehicles. Meanwhile, subsidies for electric vehicles have started to be phased out. We expect the use of hydrogen fuel cells for large vehicles that cover long distances, such as public buses, trains and trucks, to be more popular given the need for higher energy density.
The increased use of FCEVs will necessitate greater infrastructure development across the country. National oil companies have been expanding the number of refuelling stations, which reached 88 in November 2020, although this scale only accounts for a small portion of the companies' overall capex.
We expect steel and other industrial sectors to also utilise hydrogen to support decarbonisation efforts. Pilot programmes have been launched by China Baowu Steel Group Corporation Limited (A/Stable) and HBIS Group to adopt green hydrogen to produce 'green' steel. In addition, the first renewable-powered hydrogen petrochemical park was launched in 2020 in Gansu province to test the feasibility of using solar to produce methanol.
However, such developments remain in the early stages and have limited commercial viability. State-owned and government-related energy companies are the main hydrogen producers. These entities would benefit from rising hydrogen demand and are also facing a push for blue and green hydrogen technology investment, which is being supported by policies, such as tax credits. The People's Bank of China's 2020 green bond guidelines also allow green hydrogen projects to be financed via green bond issuance.
We expect a limited credit impact of expanding hydrogen use in the medium-term, as the transition to blue and green hydrogen will be gradual, with investment costs supported by government policy. The longer-term impact will depend on policy evolution and technology.

A community reflected in art
Kenai Art Center unveils winners in biennial juried show

The Biennial Juried Art Show will be exhibited at the Kenai Art Center throughout the month, closing Oct. 29.
Submissions were collected from Sept. 28-Oct. 1, and guest jurors Asia Freeman and Michael Walsh assessed the pieces and laid out the exhibit Oct. 2, ahead of an opening reception last Thursday.
In a juror's statement published on the Kenai Art Center website, Freeman and Walsh say the juried show is "reflective of this community." The show spotlights a wide variety of mediums from a wider variety of artists.
Normally, in a juried show, not every piece submitted would be shown. The jurors use the submissions to create an exhibit and assign awards. Freeman and Walsh say in their statement that they "perceived a very open door, and therefore we didn't reject anything."
Across the main and back gallery, on walls, hanging from the ceiling and resting on stands around the rooms, dozens of pieces by local artists are on display.
The jurors closed their statement by saying, "Everyone deserves to be acknowledged for showing up."
Artist Celia Carl Anderson was awarded Best of Show for "Cross My Heart," a pastel and acrylic painting depicting a woman's body, arms crossed over her chest.
Anderson has been a professional artist since 1975, both producing her own work and teaching art at Kenai Peninsula College.
Winning Best of Show was "really lovely," she said.
Anderson said the painting was a combination of her interests and skills.
"I have always been intrigued by the human form," she said. "It has such an ability to express emotion and make people think and ask questions and expose stories about people and maybe their situations and circumstances."
Anderson said she has long painted people for this reason. People in general, groups, individuals, parts, "whatever interests me at the time."
She also said she hasn't ever stuck with one medium of art. "Cross My Heart" combines multiple mediums into a single piece, she said.
"It's very emblematic of the kinds of things I do," Anderson said. "I was pretty sure there wouldn't be anything like it in the show."
She said she can be hesitant to submit art depicting nudity to community shows, but ultimately decided the piece was "demure" enough to include.
Second place was awarded to "Evening Jam with Chuck," a pigment inkjet print of a photograph by Susan Biggs.
Biggs said she was in Waimea, Hawaii, in February, where she and her husband started talking with a man named Mike, who worked at their hotel. The three discovered they had music in common, and Mike brought guitars to the hotel for a jam session during his lunch break.
"He invited us to come to his home, and there he had a billion guitars and all kinds of different instruments," she said.
The photo is of the table in his living room, with sheet music, a book of Chuck Berry music, and an assortment of tools for working on instruments strewn out.
"I just saw that still life," Biggs said. She said most still life photography is flowers and vases and things, but she was intrigued by the "collage of color and oddities."
Submitting it to the show was a chance for her to share the piece with the community, and Biggs said she was "totally surprised, but very honored" that it received the award.
"It's huge," Biggs said. "Especially when you're in a show with someone like Celia who is one of my mentors and one of the people that I admire in the art world."
"To have people care about the piece and be interested in it means a lot to me," she said. "It's not about the prize, it just helps me know that what I'm doing is interesting and that other people appreciate what I'm bringing through my own eyes."
Like Anderson, Biggs is a practicing artist, who said she had work being shown at two other juried shows in the state right now — the All-Alaska Biennial and Rarefied Light.
"Civil Disobedience," an acrylic painting on canvas by Charlotte Coots, was awarded third place. It depicts two women by a river in the desert, their image visible through a painted tear in the foreground, the paper peeling back and revealing script.
Coots explained that the piece is a precursor to a show she is doing with another artist next year. The two are creating art about strong women. Coots said she is focused on "spiritual stories and legends and the daily decisions they would have to make in the ancient environment."
The piece she submitted to the Juried Show is based on an Old Testament story about Shiphrah and Puah, two Hebrew midwives, who Coots said were credited in something she read with "the first recorded written account of civil disobedience."
Coots said the third place award is "a real boost to my spirit."
She described how, for many years, she has been a frustrated artist. Coots graduated with an art degree in 2004, then began working in fitness as a single mother. She continued making art, but, through marriage and two more children, creative endeavors were left on the backburner.
Suddenly, she said, the art show she's doing next year is on her mind. She saw her art sold at the Kenai Art Center's Harvest Auction last month, she sold a commission two months ago, and her piece was chosen for an award in this show. She said it was validating.
"I'm very happy painting. I mean, I love it," Coots said.
Anderson said the show is special for its accessible nature, and especially the decision to showcase every submitted piece.
"It makes a delightful contribution to the arts community."
She said it was really important especially for newer artists, because rejection is painful.
"I have been rejected many times in the past. I know how that feels, and, unless you're super driven, you want to quit."
Biggs and Coots echoed the sentiment.
"Getting that opportunity to have your work on the walls is just a glorious moment," Biggs said. "Being able to share that with the rest of the community."
"I don't know if I've ever seen a show where that happened, where nobody is turned away," Coots said. "I thought that was really interesting and unique."
The Juried Show is, Anderson said, an educational experience. So many different artists, mediums and approaches are being shown off.
"I think it's an exhibit that you can keep going back to."
In addition to the top three honors, jurors awarded Juror's Choice to Alex Rydlinski's "The Dead Skate," an oil on panel piece. Honorable Mentions were awarded to "Dancing Tree" by Chelline Larsen, a silk painting/quilt and an untitled photograph by Sarah E.C. Goodwin.
The gallery can be visited for free during Kenai Art Center hours, noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday until Oct. 29.

Today we find ourselves at the THIRD QUARTER MOON with the MOON IN LIBRA.
Three weeks ago at the NEW MOON we began the cycle that is now winding down. We have worked hard and now it is time to rest and notice where we have come. We notice now how our work has been perceived and what we have accomplished. Now we rest to see what we will plant again for the next cycle.
The THIRD QUARTER MOON is the opposite of the FIRST QUARTER MOON. Each are half in the light and half in the dark… only opposite sides are illuminated. In the FIRST QUARTER we are working hard to expand and grow into the issue we have taken on at the NEW MOON. Now on the other side of the FULL MOON, where we were able to see the completion of our task, we now must see clearly and examine what it is we have accomplished. What has been our success and what has been our failing? We must find meaning in the path that we have taken and the place we now find ourselves. We look to understand the process and find a sense of meaning and purpose.
Here we must examine ourselves clearly and honestly. If we find ourselves having succeeded, has that success enriched us and others? Are we more generous, more loving and kind following this success? Or do we find our integrity compromised by greed or power? If we find ourselves on the other side of failure, has that failure lead to depression, giving up on ourselves or others? Or have we taken the opportunity to learn and grow? Are we ready to stand up and try again?
Now is the time for self-examination, time to look clearly at these past few weeks, and begin the integration of the past in order to prepare for the next cycle.
Begin now, a fresh start is right around the corner with the NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS on January 23rd.
The MOON ENTERS SCORPIO this afternoon as well, this allows us to do some very deep self examination. Spend some time alone today. Look at your life. Make some preparations.

Objects in Exile: Modernism across Borders, 1930–1960

This book examines various modalities by which the twentieth-century phenomenon of exile impacted the design world, a condition this book identifies as "exilic modernism." The study argues that modernism could only coalesce when national borders were abandoned in a process of emigration and resettlement from continental Europe to Great Britain and America, prior to World War II, during wartime, and in its aftermath. During the war, modern ideas took on urgency through strikingly communicative exhibitions and war-related materials research. In the vibrant postwar period, avant-garde ideas would come together and emerge as mainstream modernism, thereby securing a future for modern architecture and its originators alike. Examining architecture, exhibition design, painting, photography, and graphic design, Objects in Exile contends that the course of modernism was irrevocably changed due to the pressures and the exigencies of the exilic condition, and that its cohesive set of ideas only fomented in exile.
Robin Schuldenfrei is the Tangen Reader in 20th Century Modernism at The Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London. She specializes in modern architectural history, especially Germany, with a focus on the object, the domestic landscape, and materiality. Her publications include Luxury and Modernism: Architecture and the Object in Germany 1900–1933 (Princeton University Press, 2018) as well as numerous articles, essays and edited volumes, including: Iteration: Episodes in the Mediation of Art and Architecture (Routledge, 2020) and Atomic Dwelling: Anxiety, Domesticity, and Postwar Architecture (Routledge, 2012). Schuldenfrei received her doctorate from Harvard University's Graduate School of Design and previously held tenure-track positions at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and the University of Illinois at Chicago. Her work has been supported by grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Society of Architectural Historians, and the Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst (DAAD), among others.

Home/Science/Startups successfully deployed a compact, fuel-efficient satellite engine in space
Startups successfully deployed a compact, fuel-efficient satellite engine in space
kriskaito4 days ago
(LR) George-Cristian Potrivitu, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Aliena, a candidate for the NTU PhD, and Co-founder and CEO of Aliena, Energy Institute @NTU (ERI @ N) .. Credit: Aliena
Aliena, a technology spin-off from Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) in Singapore, today deployed a nanosatellite with a fuel-efficient engine in space. The nanosatellite was transmitted from the SpaceX Falcon 9 Transporter-3 mission launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, USA.
The Hall effect thruster, the engine of the satellite, is a type of ion thruster in which ions from the propellant are accelerated by an electric field, and was invented and developed by Aliena. Compared to current satellite engines of that type, new engines consume very little power for their operation.
Thrusters are very important for satellites because they need to make occasional thrust launches to keep them in orbit. Otherwise, the thruster will re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and end the mission. This is due to the resistance or drag from the thin atmosphere they encounter.
Historically, most satellites weighed thousands of kilograms and were huge satellites several stories high. However, over the last two decades, the popularity of small satellites has grown, and small, lightweight, fuel-efficient engines have been developed to maintain satellite functionality. Sky..
Compared to current Hall thrusters, which require about 1,000 watts to keep large satellites in orbit and are not suitable for small spacecraft, Aliena's engine operates nanosatellite with less than 10 watts of power. Can be maintained. The entire propulsion system fits in a 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm cube, weighs less than two cartons, and is significantly lighter than traditional compatible systems.
Often referred to as the fourth state of matter, plasma and its physical properties play an important role in Aliena's engine. The launch of the NTU uses plasma propulsion to allow small satellites to move through space with forces from just a few micronewtons. This is comparable to the amount of force an ant uses to move forward a few steps.
Dr. Marc Lim Jiang Wei, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Eliena and Deputy Principal Researcher at the Energy Institute @ NTU (ERI @ N), said: To meet the growing demand for mobility in outer space via plasma engines. Once an early market, the number of space technology companies incorporated to take advantage of the cost-effectiveness of small satellites and access to space has skyrocketed. Develop unique constellations that impact on-ground and off-ground businesses. "
George Christian Potribitu, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Aliena, also holds a PhD in NTU. Candidates said, "Ariena is focused on developing state-of-the-art plasma-based satellite propulsion systems. This mission is a crucial miles for Singapore's rapidly emerging civilian space ecosystem from the early stages. It definitely shows the stone. It proves that our system works well in the space of satellites. This is important to keep expanding our customer base. We are the precedent for small spacecraft. By providing no mobility, we want to enable their new operations and promote new business opportunities in space, enabling them to carry out their most challenging missions. "
Empowering satellites for the next frontier of space exploration
Aliena Thruster also features other innovations that make the system more durable and allow the system to be instantly ignited without the need for external heating to warm up.
Aliena's engine is an electric plasma propulsion system that is fuel efficient compared to non-electric systems and requires a smaller, lighter battery and fewer solar panels than existing thrusters on the market.

As a result of fuel efficiency, satellites with Aliena engines will carry less fuel for their missions, giving them more flexibility to operate in space.
When satellites need to be grouped in order to function as a system, it is important to provide the ability to minimize satellite movement for purposes such as constellation formation. Also, in addition to in-orbit maintenance and services, space, such as the 2013 movie "Gravity," in which the actress Sandra Bullock's character had to use cold gas thrusters to serve the Hubble universe. It is also useful for other complex operations in. telescope.
Dr. Lim hopes that the successful launch of a nanosatellite equipped with a new engine will enable new operations for small satellites while reducing power consumption and improve satellite capacity utilization. I am doing it. "
Following this mission, Aliena will deploy a microsatellite-class engine (MUSIC) on a larger satellite platform in 2023 for the ORB-12 Strider mission in orbital space engineering.
Since then, Aliena has secured individual orders from private customers and has attracted interest from other companies regarding the use of engines in satellites.
David Toh, CEO of NTUitive, said: We accelerate the commercialization process through support in areas such as intellectual property and office space on how university research can be translated and quickly brought to market through our funding and support programs. And help grow entrepreneurs and pair them with the technology most suitable for their business. "
Aliena was founded in 2018 after the founders Dr. Lim and Potrivitu met while holding a PhD at the NTU's Space Propulsion Center. The company was funded by NTU's innovation and enterprise company NTUitive in 2019, and the technology was incorporated into the testbed at the NTU Satellite Research Center (SaRC).
Aliena first demonstrated the principles behind the mode of operation of the engine in SaRC. The team was provided access to the SaRC facility to assemble the prototype. It was also the place where the engine first showed a successful test launch. This is a milestone that the Aliena team has helped Aliena pave the way for closing the first oversubscribed funding round.
Aliena, a spin-off from NTU, was also supported through NTUitive's flagship Strategic Research and Innovation Fund (SRIF). This fund is engine From that prototype.
NTU's first foray into space began over 20 years ago. The first project was the communication payload codenamed Merlion, launched in 1999, but the main satellite body was developed by the University of Sally.
Since then, NTU has built nine satellites and sent them into Earth's orbit. X-SAT is NTU's microsatellite, built in collaboration with the Defense Sciences Organization, and was the first locally built in Singapore. Hygiene It was launched into space in 2011.

Lars Vilks, a Swedish cartoonist famous for depicting Prophet Mohammed as a dog in 2007, was attacked on 11 May 2010 in Sweden, while delivering a lecture on freedom of expression at Uppsala University - one of the World's Top 100 Universities. His controversial drawing earned him death threats from many individuals and organizations, including Al-Qaeda - which put a $150,000 bounty on his head (according to The Local). Lars Vilks has been under police protection for a long time now. What happened yesterday?
Lars Vilks was attacked because, in 2007, he expressed himself and imparted an idea in a way considered to be flawed. An attack on Lars Vilks represents a threat to freedom of expression in Sweden and beyond.
Three people were arrested following the attack, but were released today - 12 May 2010. Meanwhile, Lar Vilks' blog has been hacked.
The dramatic attack on Lars Vilks comes only two months after I publish an article about Jihad Jane - a woman whose mission was to murder Vilks.

Cemetery V2.0
Editor's Note: (March 14, 2020) Keiffer USA, the company that made "Cemetery V2.0" is no longer in business.
By Steve Johnson, December 23, 2001
If you are a genealogist, and you have a handheld computer running the Palm OS, you will want to get a copy of Cemetery V2.0 to add to your collection of genealogy applications.

Cemetery V2.0 is supported on color versions of the Palm OS
Cemetery V2.0 is a database application designed to collect records from cemeteries. If you often find yourself walking through cemeteries to find ancestors and relatives, you can use this application to jot down information from tombstones. In fact, you don't even need to visit a cemetery to use it. If you find a cemetery transcription in a library or online, you can store info into it just as well.
The application has two main screens: 1. Name Index, and 2. Deceased Details.
All information is entered into the Deceased Details. You can specify the full name, the cemetery details, burial location, tombstone inscription, and photograph information.
For each cemetery, you can specify the full cemetery name, address, phone number, city, county, and state.
The tombstone inscription screen allows you to jot down the inscription as it appears on the tombstone. There is also a feature to record notes pertaining to any photographs you might have taken.
Cemetery V2.0 is an example of what I refer to as "mobile genealogy", and it's what I think genealogists should be moving towards. In the old days, when we visited a cemetery, or a library, or a court house, we had to rely on paper, either writing notes into a pad of paper, or making lots of photocopies.
What good is having all that expensive genealogy software sitting on your PC at home, when you need it with you at the library? The handheld computer allows the genealogist to bring all their research and genealogy with them, and record new information on the spot. That's what Cemetery V2.0 provides you. That's what I call "21st Century Genealogy".
To those persons interested in creating cemetery transcriptions, Cemetery V2.0 will not provide much help simply because it does not have an export feature. It does backup its data on to your PC during a sync, but you cannot convert that data into a format that can be used in other applications. Perhaps a future version will provide this.
Cemetery V2.0 costs only $10.00, which I think is quite a bargain simply because it gives the genealogist freedom and power. You have freedom in that you don't need to hang on to a pad of paper and pencil when venturing out to a cemetery, and it gives you power because you have all those cemetery records with you when you conduct your research away from home.
Cemetery V2.0 runs on the Palm Operating System, supported by handheld computers such as the Palm, Handspring Visor, Sony Clie, and others.
You can download a copy of Cemetery V2.0 from its website at: http://keifferusa.com/.

We are pleased to announce the public availability of HashiCorp Nomad 0.9.
Nomad is a flexible workload orchestrator that can be used to easily deploy both containerized and legacy applications across multiple regions or cloud providers. Nomad is easy to operate and scale, and integrates seamlessly with HashiCorp Consul for service discovery and HashiCorp Vault for secrets management.
Spread: Enable job authors to distribute workloads based on specific attributes or client metadata.
Affinities: Enable job authors to express preferred placement for a workload.
Preemption for System Jobs: Enable system jobs to displace low priority workloads.
Task Driver Plugins: Enable community members to easily contribute and maintain new task drivers to support specific runtimes.
Device Plugins: Enable Nomad to support provisioning workloads that require specialized hardware like GPUs.
Web UI: Support job submission and improve resource visualizations.
This release also includes a number of additional improvements to the Web UI, the CLI, the Docker driver, and other Nomad components. The CHANGELOG provides a full list of Nomad 0.9 features, enhancements, and bug fixes.
Nomad uses bin packing by default when making job placement decisions. Bin packing seeks to fully utilize the resources on a subset of the available client nodes before moving on to utilize additional nodes. While this behavior generally leads to smaller fleet sizes and cost savings, it often makes sense for the instances of a given workload to be spread out across the available infrastructure to optimize for high availability or performance.
The spread stanza includes a target parameter that allows a user to specify the distribution ratio across a set of target values for the specified attribute. A weight parameter can also be used to assign relative priority across a series of spread and affinity stanzas.
See the Increasing Failure Tolerance with Spread guide for more details.
Nomad 0.9 adds scheduler support for affinity and anti-affinity. Affinity refers to the ability for a user to express preferred placement for a given workload based on the current state of the runtime environment. This is in contrast to a hard requirement as currently imposed by a constraint in Nomad.
See the Expressing Job Placement Preferences with Affinities guide or the Spread and Affinities blog post for more details.
When a targeted set of nodes is fully utilized, any allocations that result from a newly scheduled job will remain in the pending state until sufficient resources become available - regardless of the defined priority. This can lead to priority inversion, where low priority workloads that are currently running can prevent high priority workloads from being scheduled.
Preemption support in Nomad 0.9 will initially enable Nomad to evict lower priority allocations as necessary to ensure that system jobs can run on every node in the cluster. Preemption for service and batch jobs will be included in the Enterprise version of Nomad in a subsequent 0.9.x point release.
The Nomad client was refactored in Nomad 0.9 to enable plugin-based support for a range of features. Plugins lower the barrier for ecosystem technology integrations by enabling community members to develop and maintain third-party integrations outside of the standard code review and release process that Nomad core requires. The 0.9 release adds support for Task Driver Plugins and Device Plugins (see below). Upcoming releases will add plugin-based features for networking and storage that are compatible with the CNI and CSI specifications, respectively.
Nomad's task driver subsystem allows it to support a wide range of workload types. Operators can leverage Nomad's native task drivers to bring benefits like deployment automation, self-service, high resource utilization, and automatic secret injection to non-containerized, legacy, or Windows workloads - in addition to their Docker based workloads. The task driver subsystem has been refactored in Nomad 0.9 to support external plugins. This will enable the community to easily contribute new task drivers or create modified versions of existing task drivers. The LXC task driver has been externalized in Nomad 0.9 and provides a good illustration of how the new task driver plugin system works.
Nomad 0.9 introduces a device plugin system in addition to the new task driver plugin system. Device plugins will enable Nomad to support specialized hardware devices like GPUs, TPUs, and FPGAs. GPUs (graphical processing units) have become a standard means to accelerate computational workloads including machine learning, image processing, and financial modeling. To support these and other use cases out of the box, Nomad 0.9 includes a native Nvidia GPU device plugin.
Nomad 0.9 enhances the Web UI to support job submission and modification. While a CI/CD and version control based deployment approach is still recommended, Web UI support for job submission will enable easy experimentation for new users, easy iteration during dev/test cycles, and a mechanism for operators to quickly make minor changes to resolve production-level service outages. Job submission through the Web UI will require authorization through the Nomad ACL subsystem (via the coarse grained write policy or the submit-job capability).
We are excited to share this release with our users. Visit the nomad website to learn more.

The Tantura massacre's perpetrators confessed. Its survivors have this to say by Baker Zoubi
Though not using the word 'genocide', Tantura massacre survivors and descendants describe Zionist militia crimes, framed by the collective Palestinian experience of the Nakba.
"Apart from Tantura's former prosperity, the most striking thing my father remembered was seeing people being killed before his eyes, and how they spent the first days after the Nakba in hardship and poverty, without shelter."
… "Our parents carefully told us about what happened, how my uncle and grandfather were martyrs," Masri said. "How they forced people to dig their graves. How they put dozens of people in mass graves. My grandfather on my mother's side said that the number of dead reached 150 and that he buried them. He said that not only is the parking lot over graves but there are several more mass graves.

Cinematic Dialogs | Episode 8 – Dima Hamdan & Saeed Taji Farouky on Palestine Film Institute
"Just showing the symbolism- the physical infrastructure of occupation- also does not make a political film. There are many I can think of, that I find still very superficial even though they do directly deal with the occupation. There's a danger of making films that are extremely individual, and they present the occupation as an individual obstacle, rather than a product of colonialism, a product of occupation, a product of genocide."

TIFF Digital Screenings: Farha | Darin J. Sallam on Toronto International Film Festival Screening Schedule
A dauntless and compelling feature debut by Jordanian filmmaker Darin J. Sallam, Farha captures both the isolating terrors of war and the lingering beauty that can colour recollections of dispossession — a mental record of the last laugh shared, the faint smell of freedom before the void of exile. An impressive lead performance from newcomer Karam Taher punctuates catastrophic loss with uncompromising determination.

VIDEO || The Al-Aqsa Intifada: 20 Years Later by Within Our Lifetime
Monday, September 28th marked the 20th anniversary of the start of the Al-Aqsa Intifada (Second Intifada), which lasted from September 2000 – February 2005. Throughout the Intifada, at least 5,000 Palestinians were martyred, from youth protesting against the suffocating occupation, to freedom fighters who took up arms to resist israeli genocide and ethnic cleansing. Through archival footage, we look back on the Al-Aqsa Intifada and its ongoing legacy to this day.

WitchHunt
In the scholarly world we call these movements settler colonialism. We distinguish between them and colonialism, because the settler colonialists are intent on destroying and eliminating the natives. And I think that's what happened in Palestine.
… It is this story, of Palestinian dispossession, ethnic cleansing, and an ongoing process of what Pappe has termed "incremental genocide", which for genuine activists, zionism represents. [47:15]

What did President Bush know and when did he know it?
Conservative journalist Paul Sperry has written a series of articles for the New York Post. In them, he reminds us that George W. Bush redacted 28 pages out of Congress' official report on the 9/11 attacks in 2002. Sperry reports that a bipartisan group of U.S. Representatives recently read those pages. He says that material provides "incontrovertible evidence" that high ranking officials in the Saudi government coordinated the 9/11 attacks on our country.
Sperry's articles contain remarkable and deeply disturbing revelations. When asked by reporters at the time why he had redacted those pages out of Congress' 9/11 Report, President Bush replied that we don't want the people that we are investigating to know that we are investigating them. But FBI Director Mueller told Congress that the Saudis weren't being investigated.
Sperry also claims that the redacted pages show that Prince Bandar (now head of Saudi Intelligence) funneled money to 9/11 hijackers in San Diego who were associated with Anwar al-Awlaki. These pages are said to detail a nationwide network of Saudi 9/11 conspirators in at least 7 different American cities. The network may still exist. The bipartisan group of Congressmen who read the redacted material are led by Republicans Walter Jones (NC), Thomas Massie (KY), and Democrat Stephen Lynch (MA). They're urging President Obama to make those 28 pages public.
Let me cut to the chase. Conservatives like me could cite chapter and verse of offenses that we believe that President Obama has committed against our nation and our Constitution – offenses that we believe are impeachable. But what do we say if it is revealed that the Saudi government coordinated the 9/11 attacks and George W. Bush kept that evidence from the American people? Covering up an act of war would constitute treason, wouldn't it?
Do you wonder why the same mainstream media that specializes in "partisan political witch-hunts" against Republicans (including Bush) doesn't appear to be interested in a story that (if proven) would seal his place in the history books as a traitor to his country? Could it be because to pursue the story would also make President Obama look bad? You see, Obama has repeatedly promised to declassify the 28 redacted pages that allegedly show Saudi involvement in the 9/11 attacks. Gee, I wonder why he hasn't.
Here are Sperry's stories here, here, here, and here. And here are the details on Obama promising that he would bring this material to light.
I don't care whether either President has an "R" or a "D" by his name. What I care about is the 3,000 Americans we lost that day, who's responsible, and how to stop the next attack. As Senator Howard Baker once said about a much smaller scandal "What did the President know and when did he know it"? I think the American people deserve an answer and I think we should do something about it. Don't you?

Q: What is the best way to clone a disk? My guess is that dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=4096 will work out well for me. I have some concerns though:

*

*What is the ideal bs size?

*Is it advisable to use a live cd? I simply don't want to include running applications, temp files and other useless files in my clone.

*How much size should the destination be? I hope this will not as be as big as the source.

*How to restore the clone (from the removal disk) back to the laptop?

Any help is appreciated.

A: bs stands for block size. which mean size of block taken by the dd command.
Ideal bs refers to your file system files.as u make bs larger as you move faster in cloning.
and yes it's better to use a live CD to not clone those temp and other unneeded files
The size of the destination must be the same or bigger (you can still clone to smaller hdd but it need much more configuration and fixing issues you'll face)
To restore the clone easily reuse the dd tool again. now the laptop hdd will be the destination
To clone to smaller hard disk refer to How to clone to a smaller harddisk?

Out of dd you can use clonezilla which is a great application for cloning. download the iso file and use it as live CD . It will be much easier for newbies to try

A: I have just gone through this exact process successfully, so at the risk of bumping an oldish thread here it is.
Scenario: Ubuntu 16.04, windows xp dual-boot. There are old windows games I still love which won't run under wine...
Old Disks:
1x ancient IDE, with / and swap
1x 450GB SATA with home directory and winxp partition
New Disk:
spanking new 2TB SATA.
Procedure:

*

*power down. Add 2TB disk. Boot from ubuntu liveCD (I used workstation 16.04). You will need to set up networking somehow for the next step--unfortunately not everything you need is on the liveCD.

*Enable ubuntu universe and install uuid.

    # apt update
    # apt install uuid

*

*Start gparted. This tool has a copy function which can resize a partition on the fly. It's a winner.

Gparted will show the existing partitions and most likely unallocated space on the new drive. Delete everything on the new drive, no need to prepare partitions.
Using gparted copy and paste, you can copy any partition and paste it into the unallocated space on the new disk. gparted will do everything needed for the copy and resize operation.
So much for the easy bit...
Now you have your original partitions and the new copies under the liveCD root. At this point you need to do four more things for success:

*

*Change the partition UUIDs on the copies to new ones. For each copied partition:

*

*use uuid to generate a new UUID

*use tune2fs -U [UUID from above step] /dev/[device] to apply it to
your COPY. This is so you don't mangle your existing, working system. NOTE:do not do this to an NTFS partition. The UUID is used by windows to validate itself and as I understand it, you are in for trouble if you change it. See below, Cleanup.
UPDATE: gparted can create a new UUID for you. Only noticed this just now.

*Edit fstab

*

*assuming you mount your "/" drive copy on /mnt

*edit /mnt/etc/fstab and replace the UUID for all old your mounts with those of your copies which you have just changed. If you have mounts using devices only, consider changing this approach which is now well and truly legacy.

*Reinstall GRUB2. I used the chroot method, and heartfelt thanks go to Nathan Kidd.

    mount /dev/sdXY /mnt
    for dir in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do
        mount --bind $dir /mnt$dir
    done
    chroot /mnt
    update-grub2

This bind-mount bit appears to be essential but I do not know why grub even cares about these run-time things. However, it seems to be magic. This step even worked out the new location of my XP partition.

*In XP itself, the boot.ini may need to be modified. You will most likely need to change the default and multi incantations so the windows boot loader can find everything else. Documentation for this part is in the usual microsofty places. You will know this is the case if you get a message about missing HAL.DLL. Don't start copying files, fix up boot.ini and it should come good. I did this by fuse-mounting the NTFS partition on the liveCD root and editing it by hand.

Then you remove your old drives and reboot into the new drive. Worked for me, including windows with no invalidation of licence. YMMV, it seems to be pretty random in my experience.

*

*Cleanup: Now that I have a working new drive, I'm going to reboot into liveCD with both of the SATA disks and zap the contents of the old 450GB disk. This is because I believe that if you have two NTFS partitions with the same UUID mounted on the system, Bad Things can happen. I could be wrong...but why risk it? Also, make sure you disable any previously bootable disk in your BIOS. I forgot to do this and wasted a bit of time with a not-booting system until I worked out what was going on.

It can then be reused for something else. The IDE drive, who cares?
I have gone to the trouble of posting this because it's taken me two days to sift through the contradictory and often outdated or sketchy info on this topic. I hope it is useful to someone and saves some effort and trouble.


What is the One Health Global Network?
Several One Health focal points, networks and databases exist, and others are at various stages of development. However, it is important that these networks are connected – a "network of networks" – in a global network, while recognizing that it is not necessary for any one organization to "own" or "lead" it.
The One Health Global Network aims at facilitating coordination and providing linkages; offering a global geographic dimension and optimal complementarity between initiatives.
The One Health Global Network (OHGN) will be based, from a technological viewpoint, on this webportal – www.onehealthglobal.net which is currently under development.
It is intentional that neither the OHGN nor the webportal are linked to (or owned by) an institution or government agency. Currently, the OHGN and the webportal are functioning due to voluntary support—with an expectation that this support will rotate in the future.
